The Republic of Taiwan was a short-lived republic on the island of Taiwan.
It is also called in ; which means "Democratic State of Taiwan".
In English it was also called the: Formosan Republic, Taiwan Republic and the Republic of Formosa.
The Republic of Taiwan was formed in 1895.
It did not last for very long.
The Treaty of Shimonoseki which ended the war between the Qing Dynasty of China and the Empire of Japan, gave Taiwan to the Japanese.
The republic began when the Chinese left in May, 1895, and ended when the Japanese soldiers arrived in October, 1896.
Some historians say it was the first republic in Asia, but there was one earlier, the Lanfang Republic, which had been started in 1777.
The republic was started by a group of high officials and local people who still supported the Qing.
They wanted to stop the Japanese take over of Taiwan.
On May 24, 1895 the new republic sent a copy of its declaration of independence to all the embassies on Taiwan.
The next day the new government held an independence ceremony.
The Republic of Taiwan made their own stamps.
They also printed their own paper money, which is now very hard to find.
They were always loyal to the Qing, and said that the Republic would be part of the Qing state.
The first president of the Republic of Taiwan was the old governor, Tang Ching-sung, who served from May 25, 1895 to June 5, 1895.
The second president was Liu Yung-fu, June 5, 1895 – October 21, 1896.
When the Japanese soldiers invaded Taiwan there was a lot of fighting.
They quickly defeated the new republic.
Most of the republic's official quickly left the island.
The modern Taiwan independence groups want to start a new Republic of Taiwan.
They say that there is no connection between them and the 1895 Republic.
The first Republic of Taiwan was loyal to China, but the new Republic of Taiwan would be started to be independent of China.

Dianetics is an alternative mental health therapy created by science fiction writer L. Ron Hubbard, who published a book on the subject in 1950 under the name "Dianetics: The Modern Science of Mental Health".
It is about the way people think.
Hubbard also started the religion of Scientology, which uses Dianetics.
The photo at the right shows a person learning about Dianetics by doing a stress test.
The idea of the stress test is to show people something in their own minds.
Most psychologists think that Dianetics is a pseudoscience.
That means that it is not really a science, and it only looks like one.

An Adjutant is a military rank in some armies.
Adjutants support the Officers.
The word Adjutant is first time used in the French army.
Adjutants worked there for the Majors as an assistant.
The word Freikorps (German for "Free Corps") was first used for voluntary armies in Germany.
After World War I the term was used for paramilitary units.
The Freikorps got famous at the time of the Weimar Republic to fight in some towns against the Communism.
First Freikorps
The first freikorps were started by Frederick II of Prussia in the eighteenth century during the Seven Years' War.
Other freikorps were started during the Napoleonic Wars and were commanded by people such as Ferdinand von Schill and later Ludwig Adolf Wilhelm von Lützow.
The freikorps were thought to be not reliable by regular armies and were mostly used as guards and for minor duties.
Post-World War I
The meaning of the word changed over time.
After 1918, the word was used for the paramilitary organizations that were started in Germany by soldiers who came home after losing World War I. They were the main paramilitary groups during that time.
Many of these returning soldiers were not able to return to a normal life, and joined a Freikorps to again be a part of a military structure.
Others were angry at losing the war and joined to fight against Communists or get revenge.
They were liked and supported by Minister of Defence Gustav Noske, a member of the Social Democratic Party of Germany, who used them to stop the German Revolution and the Marxist Spartacist League, and also to murder Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg on 15 January 1919.
They were also used to defeat the Bavarian Soviet Republic in 1919.
In 1920, Adolf Hitler had started his political work as the leader of the very small and unknown German Workers Party (that was soon called the National Socialist German Workers Party, NSDAP (or Nazi Party)) in Munich.
Many people who would join this party had been in the Freikorps, including Ernst Röhm, future leader of the Sturmabteilung, or SA, and Rudolf Höß, the future Commander of the Auschwitz concentration camp.
Hitler Légalité
Freikorps leaders gave their old battle flags to Hitler's SA and SS on Nov 9, 1933 in a very big ceremony.
Historian  Robert Waite said that Hitler had many problems with the Freikorps.
Many of the Friekorps had joined the SA, so when the Night of the Long Knives happened, they were targets for being murdered or arrested and this was also done to Ehrhardt and to Röhm.
Waite also says that in Hitler's 'Rohm Purge' speech to the Reichstag on July 13, 1934, that Hitler said that the Freikorps were enemies of Germany.
In 1939, in the Polish September Campaign, Freikorps Ebbinghaus, was started to work behind the frontlines.
It was not very good at this work and was sent to fight as an army unit but was not good at this either and was ended in less than one year.

The New York City Police Department (NYPD), started in 1844, is the largest police force in the United States,.
It is the police force that serves  the five boroughs of New York City.
The NYPD was one of the first "modern" style police departments in the United States with the Boston Police Department.
The NYPD uses a color of the day to allow uniformed officers to recognize undercover officers to prevent accidental shootings.
The New York Police Department's Street Crime Unit (motto: "We Own The Night") was a 300+ member plain clothes unit for reducing crime that became well known after the 1999 killing of Amadou Diallo.
The four officers who did the killing were all members of the unit.
The unit was ended in 2002 because of the Diallo shooting.
The unit's last leader was Inspector Bruce H. Smolka, who was later made Assistant Chief.
The Street Crime Unit is now replaced by local precinct Anti-Crime Units.
The Street Crime Unit was started in 1971 and had a long history of success in catching armed criminals on NYC streets.
The establishment of the Street Crime Unit led to the development of the color of the day undercover officer recognition system.

It is often used by police officers when they are investigating crimes or criminals.
It is done to gain trust and also possibly to gather evidence.
It is not the same as a police officer who is wearing normal clothing (a plain-clothes officer) but who is not hiding their real name and that they are a police officer.

The proboscis monkey (Nasalis larvatus) is found only on the island of Borneo in Southeast Asia.
They live in mangrove forests, and also lowland rainforests.
It depends on the mangroves near river edges for resting and sleeping.
They avoid deforested areas and avoid human settlements.
The proboscis monkey eats mainly fruit and leaves.
It also eats flowers, seeds and insects to a lesser extent.
At least 55 different plant species are eaten.
Young leaves are preferred over mature leaves and unripe fruits are preferred over ripe fruit.
Being a seasonal eater, the proboscis monkey eats mostly fruit from January to May and mostly leaves from June to December.
Groups usually sleep in adjacent trees.
Monkeys tend to sleep near rivers, if they are nearby.
Proboscis monkeys will start the day foraging and then rest further inland.
Proboscis monkeys' daily activities consist of resting, traveling, feeding and keeping vigilant.

The Christmas Island pipistrelle (Pipistrellus murrayi) was a species of bat in the Vespertilionidae family.
Biologists believe the bat became extinct on 27 August 2009.
It was a small bat (it weighed ), and lived only on Christmas Island, Australia.van Dyck S. & Strahan R. (eds) 2008.

It was thought to be the same as the Pipistrellus tenuis,Koopman K.F. 1993.
Order Chiroptera.
137-241 in: Wilson D.E. & Reeder D.M. (eds) Mammal species of the world: a taxonomic and geographic reference.
Smithsonian Institution Press, Washington D.C. but research on the bat's baculum (a penis bone) showed that Pipistrellus murrayi'' was a different species.
The numbers of Christmas Island Pipistrelle bats had dropped a lot in the last 20 years.
It had once been seen all over the island, including in the Settlement.
It went from at least 80% of its living range, and its numbers had dropped more than 90% since 1994.
Research into the number of bats in January 2009, shows there were only about 20 bats left.
The only known group resting place had only four bats.
The last bat call was heard on 26 August 2009.
Cause of decline
Scientists do not know why the Christmas Island Pipistrelle's numbers dropped.
Several possible threats may have been:
being eaten
disturbed at their resting spots
an unknown disease.
Common Wolf Snake
Giant Centipede
Yellow Crazy Ant
Saving the pipistrelle
Early in 2009, the Australian Minister for the Environment, Peter Garrett, stopped scientists from trying to set up a captive breeding program.
He said that the bats were too hard to catch, and no one knew how to keep them alive in cages.
Instead, he announced a program to breed a similar bat in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Scientists would learn about caring and breeding bats, then use this information to save the Christmas Island Pipistrelle.
Other scientists had said this would take too long, and the bats would become extinct.
Scientists believed that by June 2009 there were only four of the bats left in the world.
In July 2009, the Australian Government changed its earlier decision and said that it would try to capture the last of the bats and use them to try and breed more bats in captivity.
During August and September 2009 scientists searched for the remaining bats to catch them and protect them.
At the end of August only one bat had been heard.
Scientists tried to catch this bat, but it has not been heard from since the night of 26 August.
It is now believed that the bat is extinct.
This may be one of the few times that the extinction of a species in the wild can be known to the exact day.
Scientists will continue to search for the bat, but there has been no signs of the bat since.

Order theory is a field of mathematics.
It concerns itself with being able to compare different elements of a set.
Given a binary relation it is then possible to put all the elements of the set in a certain order.
It is also possible to say that a certain element "comes before" another one, for that relation.
Another way to say this is to say that one of the two is "smaller than" the other.
reflexive: each element of the set is within a relation with itself.
anti-symmetric: if A and B are in relation, and B is also in a relation with A, then A must be equal to B.
transitive: if A and B in a relation, and B is in a relation with C, then A and C must be in a relation.
