They talked about how he had crime stories and stunts but ignored its more serious reporting.
Charles Anderson Dana|Charles Dana, editor of the New York Sun, attacked The World and said Pulitzer was "deficient in judgment and in staying power."
William Randolph Hearst, a mining heir who bought the San Francisco Examiner from his father in 1887, noticed what Pulitzer was doing.
Hearst read the World while studying at Harvard University.
He decided to try to make the Examiner as bright as Pulitzer's paper.
While he was in charge, the Examiner gave 24 percent of its space to crime, presenting the stories as morality plays, and put adultery and "nudity" (by 19th century standards) on the front page.
A month after Hearst took over the paper, the Examiner ran this headline about a hotel fire:
HUNGRY, FRANTIC FLAMES.
They Leap Madly Upon the Splendid Pleasure Palace by the Bay of Monterey, Encircling Del Monte in Their Ravenous Embrace From Pinnacle to Foundation.
Leaping Higher, Higher, Higher, With Desperate Desire.
Running Madly Riotous Through Cornice, Archway and Facade.
Rushing in Upon the Trembling Guests with Savage Fury.
Appalled and Panic-Striken the Breathless Fugitives Gaze Upon the Scene of Terror.
The Magnificent Hotel and Its Rich Adornments Now a Smoldering heap of Ashes.
The Examiner Sends a Special Train to Monterey to Gather Full Details of the Terrible Disaster.
Arrival of the Unfortunate Victims on the Morning's Train — A History of Hotel del Monte — The Plans for Rebuilding the Celebrated Hostelry — Particulars and Supposed Origin of the Fire.
Hearst could be over the top in his crime coverage.
One of his early stories, about a "band of murderers", attacked the police for forcing Examiner reporters to do their work for them.
But while doing these things, the Examiner also increased its space for international news, and sent reporters out to uncover corruption and inefficiency in the city government.
In one story, Examiner reporter Winifred Black went into a San Francisco hospital as a patient and discovered that the women there were treated with "gross cruelty".
The entire hospital staff was fired the morning the story was printed.
With the Examiner''' having success by the early 1890s, Hearst began looking for a New York newspaper to buy, and bought the New York Journal in 1895, a newspaper that sold for one penny which Pulitzer's brother Albert had sold to a Cincinnati publisher the year before.
After noticing what Pulitzer had done by keeping his newspaper at two cents, Hearst made the Journal's only cost one cent, while providing as much information as rival newspapers.
This worked, and as the Journal's had 150,000 people subscribe to it, Pulitzer cut his price to a penny, hoping to make Hearst (who was subsidized by his family's fortune) run out of money.
Hearst then hired many people who were working for  World in 1896.
While most sources say that Hearst simply offered more money, Pulitzer — who had grown more abusive to his employees — had become a very difficult man to work for, and many World employees were willing to switch newspapers just to get away from him.
Although the competition between the World and the Journal was fierce, the newspapers had a lot in common.
Both were Democratic, both took the side of organized labor and immigrants (unlike publishers like the New York Tribune's Whitelaw Reid, who blamed their poverty on moral defects), and both spent a lot of money making their Sunday publications, which were like weekly magazines, going beyond just daily journalism.
Their Sunday entertainment features included the first color comic strip pages, and some think that the term yellow journalism originated there, while as noted above, the New York Press left the term it invented undefined.
Hogan's Alley, a comic strip about a bald child in a yellow nightshirt (nicknamed The Yellow Kid), became very popular when cartoonist Richard F. Outcault began drawing it in the World in early 1896.
When Hearst hired Outcault away, Pulitzer asked artist George Luks to continue drawing the strip with his characters, giving the city two Yellow Kids.
The use of "yellow journalism" as a term for over-the-top sensationalism in the U.S. apparently started with more serious newspapers commenting how far "the Yellow Kid papers" went.
Spanish-American War
Pulitzer and Hearst are often credited (or blamed) for drawing the nation into the Spanish-American War with their sensationalism.
However, most of Americans did not live in New York City, and the decision makers who did live there probably read less sensationalist newspapers like the Times, The Sun or the Post.
The most famous example of the exaggeration is the story, which probably is not actually true, that artist Frederic Remington sent Hearst a telegram to tell him that not much was going on in Cuba and "There will be no war."
Hearst responded "Please remain.
You furnish the pictures and I'll furnish the war."
The story (a version of which appears in the Hearst-inspired Orson Welles film Citizen Kane) first showed up in the memoirs of reporter James Creelman in 1901, and there is no other source for it.
But Hearst did want the United States to go to war after a rebellion broke out in Cuba in 1895.
Stories about Cubans being good people and Spain treating Cuba badly soon showed up on his front page.
While the stories were probably not very accurate, the newspaper readers of the 19th century did not expect, or necessarily want, his stories to be pure nonfiction.
Historian Michael Robertson has said that "Newspaper reporters and readers of the 1890s were much less concerned with distinguishing among fact-based reporting, opinion and literature."
Pulitzer, although he did not have Hearst's resources, kept the story on his front page.
The yellow press published a lot about the revolution (much of which was not quite true), but conditions on Cuba were bad enough.
The island was in a bad economic depression, and Spanish general Valeriano Weyler, sent to crush the rebellion, herded Cuban peasants into concentration camps leading hundreds of Cubans to their deaths.
Having fought for a fight for two years, Hearst took credit for the conflict when it came: A week after the United States declared war on Spain, he ran "How do you like the Journal's war?"
on his front page.
In fact, President William McKinley never read the Journal, and newspapers like the Tribune and the New York Evening Post.
Also, journalism historians have noted that yellow journalism mostly only happened in New York City, and that newspapers in the rest of the country did not do it.
The Journal and the World were not among the top ten sources of news in regional papers, and their stories did not catch people's attention outside New York City.
Hearst sailed to Cuba, when the invasion began, as a war correspondent, providing sober and accurate accounts of the fighting.
Creelman later praised the work of the reporters for writing about how Spain treated Cuba, arguing, " no true history of the war . . .
can be written without an acknowledgment that whatever of justice and freedom and progress was accomplished by the Spanish-American war was due to the enterprise and tenacity of yellow journalists, many of whom lie in unremembered graves."
Hearst was a well-known Democrat who promoted William Jennings Bryan for president in 1896 and 1900 (Bryan did not win either election).
He later ran for mayor and governor and even tried to get nominated for president, but his reputation was hurt  in 1901 after columnist Ambrose Bierce and editor Arthur Brisbane published separate columns months apart that suggested that President William McKinley be assassinated.
When McKinley was shot on September 6, 1901, critics accused Hearst's Yellow Journalism  of driving Leon Czolgosz to the deed.
Hearst did not know of Bierce's column and claimed to have pulled Brisbane's after it ran in a first edition, but the incident would haunt him for the rest of his life and all but destroyed his dream to be president.
Pulitzer, haunted by what had happened," returned the World to its crusading roots in the new century .
By the time of his death in 1911, the World'' was a widely-respected publication, and would remain a leading progressive paper until its demise in 1931.

Oliver Goldsmith (10 November 1730 – 4 April 1774) was a writer, poet, and physician famous for his novel, The Vicar of Wakefield(1776).
His first successful literary work was The Traveller (1764), a poem about British rule.
Like Jonathan Swift, Goldsmith  society, but he did not use satire like Swift.
Goldsmith's greatest poem, The Deserted Village (1770), was a sad poem about how country life was being destroyed by landowners.
The same theme is inside The Vicar of Wakefield.
Goldsmith's biggest work at that time was a collection of soft-satire essays on English life seen by an imaginary Chinese visitor.
He also wrote two plays, The Good Natured Man (1768), and She Stoops to Conquer (1773).(He is also thought to have written the classic children's story, The History of Little Goody Two-Shoes.)
It is not known for sure when he was born.
Most people now think that he was born in 10 November 1730.
He was the second son of Charles Goldsmith, curate of Kilkenny West in West Meath in Ireland.
In 1745 he went to Trinity College Dublin.
He quickly spent all his money by gambling, which he became  to.
After spending some time at the Universities of Edinburgh and Leyden he spent 1755 – 1756 travelling in Europe, where it is said that he lived by playing the flute.
Before starting to write he worked in London as a doctor's helper, a doctor, and a school .
He died in 1774 and was buried in Temple Church.

There are about 1,300 species of sea spiders, which are found around the world.
Sea spiders are found in all oceans, including the Mediterranean Sea, Caribbean Sea, and the Arctic Ocean.
Species found in coastal waters are usually small and have a leg span of about 1 inch (2.5 cm), those living at great depths, up to 24 inches (60 cm).
Sea spiders are not true spiders, or even arachnids.
Their traditional classification as chelicerates would put them closer to true spiders than to other well-known arthropod groups, such as insects or crustaceans.
The sea spider has a small, narrow body.
It usually has four pairs of long, thin legs attached to the abdomen.
Attached to the head there are usually three other pairs of appendages—a pair called chelicerae, used for grasping food; a pair of sensory projections called palps; and a pair of egg-carrying legs (sometimes underdeveloped or absent in the female).
The female lays round masses of eggs on the egg-carrying legs of the male, which carries the eggs until they hatch.
On top of its head, the sea spider has a knobby projection bearing two, three, or four simple eyes.
The head ends in a snout with a sucking mouth.
Sea spiders feed by sucking the body juices of such marine animals as sea anemones, sponges, and sea squirts.
Caving (or spelunking) is the hobby of exploring caves.
People who explore caves are called spelunkers.
Spelunkers and their equipment
Wise spelunkers explore in groups, to prevent being lost or stranded in a cave.
Spelunkers need reliable equipment, because the descent into a cave is like mountain climbing in the opposite direction.
Basic spelunking equipment is similar to what mountain climbers use.
Strong ropes make climbing possible and special tools attach ropes to cave walls.
Special footwear makes it easier to explore hard-to-reach places, and hard hats protect spelunkers from falling rocks above.
Caves are extremely dark, so spelunkers have to carry light sources (like torches and flares).
One torch attaches to a spelunker's helmet so it is with him or her at all times.
Caves are also very cold, so most spelunkers wear warm clothing.
Spelunkers tie their ropes with different kinds of knots, like the farmer's hitch knot and the alpine butterfly knot.
Spelunkers choose different knots for different purposes.
Some knots work well to hold people as they climb.
Other knots are best for tying ropes together.
Modern caving
Caving today has become a hobby for many different reasons.
Some cavers are interested in conservation.
Others are interested in gathering hard data about caves (called speleology).
Geologists explore caves for the purpose of learning about the formation of rocks.
But, for most of the rest, the purpose of caving is just to have fun.
Caves can generally be explored during any season of the year.
Most caves remain at the same temperature all year round.
The common rules of thumb apply:
Always wear protective headgear.
Always check to be sure there is no danger of flooding while you plan to be in the cave.
Never go alone.
A minimum of three cavers is best.
Always make sure someone on the surface knows where you are caving.
Carry a minimum of three light sources per person.
The cave environment is more fragile than people realize.
And, since water that flows through a cave eventually comes out in streams and rivers, any pollution will wind up in someone's drinking water and can seriously affect the surface environment as well.
Remember the cavers motto: Take nothing but pictures.
Leave nothing but footprints.

Chitons are primitive Ocean|marine molluscs in the class biology class Polyplacophora ormerly the class Amphineura There are 900 to 1,000 living species of chitons Their size ranges from 0.5 to 30&nbsp cm in length most are quite small ITIS ID 78807 rename Barnes Barnes Robert D1982.
Invertebrate Zoology Philadelphia PA Holt Saunders 381389 ISBN 0-03-0567475 All the living species are in the subclass Neoloricata and so may be called loricates Popular names are sea cradles or coat of mail shells They have a single shell that sticks to rocks, like a limpet The shell is made of hard plates that fit tightly together, overlapping one another The shell plates are surrounded by a structure known as a girdle
Polyplacophora means "many plates".
The plates refer to the shell, which is made of aragonite, a calcium carbonate mineral.
The shell is quite flexible, and the chiton can even roll into a ball.
The chiton has eight plates, and underneath the plates is a muscular foot that moves the chiton over rocks and other structures, both in and out of the water.
It also has a tongue-shaped structure called the radula, which has many rows of 17 teeth each.
Some use it to scrape algae off rocks, while others are carnivorous, catching tiny zooplankton and other small animals that live in shallow water.
Chitons can be less than an inch long, or up to a foot long.
They come in many different colors: black, red, pink, and even blue.
The shell might be shiny or dull, or smooth, hairy, scaly, or spiny depending on the species.
If a chiton was picked up and turned over, there would be no eyes, legs, or arms.
There would only be a wide foot with a radula that it uses for scraping surfaces.
Its mantle is right under the shell, with the lowest part of the mantle coming out under the edge of the shell to help its foot grip the surfaces on which it clings or slides along.
The part of the mantle which sticks out is called the girdle.
Like the moon snail, the girdle may extend out over the bottom part of the shell covering the bottom half of the chiton.
Most chitons are nocturnal, so they feed at night, and hide under rocks during the day.
Their main habitat is the intertidal zone.
They live on hard surfaces, such as on or under rocks, or in rock crevices.
Some species live quite high in the intertidal zone and are exposed to the air and light for long periods.
Others live subtidally.
A few species live in deep water, as deep as 6,000 m (about 20,000 ft).
Evolutionary origins
Chitons have a relatively good fossil record, stretching back 400 million years to the Devonian.
Before this, some organisms have been interpreted (tentatively) as stem-group polyplacophora; the record of polyplacophora stretches back to the Upper Cambrian.
Kimberella and Wiwaxia  of the Precambrian and Cambrian may be related to ancestral polyplacophora.
Matthevia is a late Cambrian polyplacophoran preserved as individual pointed valves, and sometimes considered to be a chiton.
The polyplacophorans may have formed when an aberrant monoplacophoran was born with multiple centres of calcification, rather than the usual one.
Selection acted on the resultant conical shells to form them to overlap into protective armour.
Their original cones are homologous with the tips of the plates of modern chitons.

The Sand dollars are species of flattened, burrowing sea urchins belonging to the order Clypeasteroida.
Echinarachnius parma, the Common Sand Dollar, is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, from the intertidal zone to considerable depths.
Sand dollars can be found in temperate and tropical zones, but not in Great Britain.p76
All sand dollars have a rigid skeleton known as a test.
This is the typical white disk found washed up on beaches.
The living animals have a skin of movable spines on the test.
Movement is done by the action of the spines.
Like other sea urchins, sand dollars have five paired rows of pores.
The pores are arranged in a petal-like pattern.
These pores are perforations in the endoskeleton through which the tube feet, used in gas exchange, project from the body.
Living sand dollars have small spines covering its entire body.
They are softer and much shorter than those of the sea urchin.
Like all echinoderms, sand dollars have tube feet.
They are not used to move around, but simply to breathe.
The sand dollar's tube feet actually stick out of the top of the sand dollar.
On a sand dollar test, there is usually a pattern that looks like the petals of a flower.
That pattern is made up of many tiny holes, and it is through these holes that the sand dollar's tube feet came out when it was alive.
A sand dollar uses its tiny spines to move around, and to dig into the sand.
It often does this to bury itself in the sand.
Sometimes, a sand dollar will only partially bury itself in the sand, and ends up poking up from the sand, standing on its side.
On the underside of a sand dollar, there is a star pattern spreading out from the center where the mouth is.
This star pattern is made up of  that are called food grooves.
Sand dollars filter sand and water, catching plankton and other things on their spines.
Then, with cilia, the spines move the food into a food groove, and the food travels down the food groove to the mouth.
The sand dollars are the most specialised sea urchins.
All their features are adaptations for burrowing.
They live just beneath the sand, either flat or at an angle.
At an angle they keep the edge facing the oncoming currents, presumably to catch food.
This excellent habitat has been taken up by other groups of sea urchins.
The heart urchins, another order, are even more effective in burrowing.p76 Sand dollars can live for up to 10 years.
Most living sand dollars have dark colours, like brown or purple.
Their darker color helps them stay camouflaged, easily hiding in the sand or mud or on the sea floor.
The tests of sand dollars do not have bristles and tube feet, and because of the sun, they usually become  white.

In astrodynamics, a hyperbolic trajectory (which is also an escape trajectory) refers to an object (such as an asteroid) which follows a path similar to a hyperbola around a central object.
This motion follows Kepler's Laws.
A hyperbolic trajectory occurs when the eccentricity of its orbit is greater than 1.

Ot en Sien (Ot and Sien) are two little children who appear in a series of stories which were written in the Dutch language more than a hundred years ago.
Ot (short for “Otto”) is a little boy and Sien (pronounced like the English word “seen”), whose name may be short for “Francine”, is the little girl who lives next door.
Although they are now very old-fashioned, the books are still popular in Holland.
They were written in rhyme and were illustrated with colourful pictures.
The author of the stories was called Hendricus Scheepstra.
The ideas for the stories were given to him by Jan Ligthart.
Cornelis Jetses made the illustrations.
The stories are set in Drenthe, which is in the north-eastern part of the Netherlands.
Drenthe was a very poor part of the country, but Ot and Sien live in a nice house and are quite well-off.
They are often seen playing in the garden with their toys which include a wooden horse on wheels and a doll in a dolly’s pushchair.
The cat is often in the picture.
They are also seen at school.
The authors wrote the stories to show a happy family life.
Everyone is very friendly in the book, and strangers help them when they get lost in the street.
The family have a servant who helps in the house.
The stories were widely read by children in schools in the Netherlands until after the Second World War.
By then they had become very old-fashioned.
The daily life of Ot and Sien seemed to belong to a time long ago in history.
Hardly any Dutch children now live in a family with a servant.
No Dutch child nowadays goes for a walk dressed in sailor’s costume with a father who wears a cloak and hat.
The books are no longer read in schools, but they continue to be popular with Dutch people at home.
In 2004, one hundred years after the first book was written, a special exhibition about Ot and Sien was held.
Dutch expressions referring to Ot and Sien
Als Ot en Sien, (Like Ot and Sien) means: “in a simple, child-like way”
Uit de tijd van Ot en Sien (from the time of Ot and Sien) means: “a long time ago”, like the English expression “in the good old days”.

An exhibition is an organized event in which a collection of special objects can be viewed by the public.
The objects are often brought together from many places for the period of the exhibition.
The objects on show are called exhibits.
Museums often organize special exhibitions, such as paintings by a famous painter.
These paintings will mostly be “on loan”, i.e. specially borrowed from other museums.
Exhibitions can be about anything.
They may be to do with art, or they can also be science exhibitions.
Some exhibitions show things which can be bought.
Firms exhibit the things they have made, hoping to encourage business.
These exhibitions are called trade fairs.
They are sometimes called expositions or expos.
They may be open to the public, but others are just for invited business people.
Come Away with Me is the first album by American jazz singer Norah Jones.
It was released on February 26, 2002 on Blue Note Records.
The main genre is considered contemporary jazz.
The album is actually contemporary jazz with some country, folk music, and pop.
Some jazz musicians do not think that the album is actually jazz, because of the changes Norah Jones made to some of the jazz songs she covered.
Come Away with Me reached number 1 on the Billboard 200 chart and won eight Grammy Awards.
It sold over 10 million copies in the first three years of its release.
It is Norah Jones' best-selling album, and the best-selling jazz album of all time.

Ruben Bierer (Dr. Rubin Bierer, often: Reuben Bierer; * about 1845 in Lviv; † 1931 ibid.)
was a doctor in Sofia and one of the first pioneers of the Jewish nationalism and one of the first active zionists in Galicia and Bulgaria, adherent of Hovevei Zion in Galicia, Austria and Bulgaria.
In 1867 he was in Lviv a co-founder of the first Jewish-political association of Austria-Hungary, Shomer Israel.
As an opponent against Polish assimilation of the Jews he established for the 1873 elections of the Reichsrat a Jewish-ruthenian electoral alliance.
In 1879 he separated from the Shomer Israel and went to Vienna for the purpose of medical studies where he – together with Peretz Smolenskin – found the Jewish-political association Ahavath Zion (for the reason of colonisation of the holy land).
In 1882 he was a cofounder of the Viennese Kadima Studentenverbindung.
In 1883 he returned to Lviv where he founded the first Jewish-national association of the Austrian east, Miqra Kodesh.
In 1885 he went to Serbia, in 1900 he returned to Lviv where he  successless tried to reactivate the Shomer Israel.
Nathan Birnbaum coined the word zionism about the year 1890.
But he is not the creator of this word, it was already in use, e.g. you can find in a letter of Ruben Bierer from the 9th December 1888 the expression zionist brother's greeting.
The word zionist is found already in the year 1877 in an in Roumanian written pamphlet (annual report of the order "Zion" in Bucharest).

Hezekiah (meaning God will strengthen) or   Ḥizqiyyāhu (Hebrew), also translated as Ḥizkiyyahu (and sometimes as Ezekias (Greek), Khizkiyahu, Yəḥizqiyyāhu, Y'khizkiyahu), was a king of Judah that appears in the book of 2 Chronicles, chapters 18 to 32, and the book of 2 Kings chapters 18 to 20.
He was one of the few kings who is compared favorably with David, and is unique for his trust in the Lord: "There was no one like him among all the kings of Judah, either before him or after him.
He held fast to the LORD and did not cease (stop) to follow him" (NIV).
Hezekiah was the son of Judah's King Ahaz, and is best known for turning his people away from the sins of his father Ahaz, restoring worship in the temple, and having his life made 15 years longer.
The Book of 2 Chronicles tells more about Hezekiah than any other king after Solomon, and suggests that he is a "second Solomon" in his celebration of the Passover, his wealth, his honor, and his land.
Toward the end of his reign, he became very sick and close to death.
He prayed to the Lord, who healed him miraculously.
The king of Babylon heard about it and sent men with a letter and gift to Hezekiah.
Because Hezekiah was proud of his riches, he showed all of his treasures to the visitors.
The prophet Isaiah predicted that it all would later be taken by the Babylonians.
His prediction came true.

The Oriental magpie (Pica sericea) is a species of magpie found in East Asia.
It is a common symbol of Korea, and has been adopted as the "official bird" of many South Korean cities and counties.
It is similar to the Eurasian magpie, with a shorter tail and longer wings.
It has black and purple colors, but very little green.
The Oriental magpie has the same chattering call as Eurasian magpies, though it is much softer.
Magpie myths
Koreans believed that magpies delivered good news, and when they saw a magpie chattering, they believed that visitors were coming.
The most famous painting related to a magpie is the one with striped tiger (ggach'i wha horangi minhwa, ): the magpie is chirping to a tiger.
The magpie represented good news and the tiger symbolized good luck, since its pronunciation in Chinese sounds similar to good luck (bok).
There are many folktales about magpies.
The Chinese called magpies "Birds of Joy" or "Happy Magpies".
Under the Manchu dynasty it also represented imperial rule: a few Manchu people in Northeast China even thought they were gods.
In the west, though, magpies were often a symbol of pride.
Left-handedness is the preference to use the left hand more than the right hand for daily activities such as writing or using tools.
Most people can use either hand for many things.
However, people very often have a definite preference for using the left or right hand for things such as: using a pen, using a knife, using scissors, brushing teeth, blowing their nose, and so on.
People who do not have a preference are called ambidextrous, and people who cannot use either are called ambisinistrous.
Far more people are right handed than left handed.
It is difficult to measure exactly how many, because each person has a different mixture of preferences, but about 5-10% are left-handed.
Bad things about left-handedness
The way people see left-handedness
Because left-handed people are different from most others, being left-handed has often been thought of as bad.
For many years, right-handedness was seen as "normal" and left-handedness as "not normal".
In Hebrew, as well as in other ancient Semitic and Mesopotamian languages, the word "left" was a symbol of power.
In many European languages, "right" means “correct” (the opposite of “wrong”).
In law the word “right” means authority and justice: in a democracy, everyone has certain “rights".
In Russian and other Slavic languages prav is used in words meaning “correct” or “truth”.
Someone who is skilled with their hands is called “dexterous”.
But "left" often means “awkward” in many languages.
In French “gauche” also means “clumsy”.
In English, the word “sinister” (which comes from the Latin word for “left”, sinistra) means “evil”.
We also say that someone has “two left feet” meaning that they are clumsy with their feet (for example they may step on their partner’s toes when dancing).
Things designed for right-handed people
Things that are designed by right-handed people can cause problems for left-handed ones.
These include guns, cameras, screws and in recent years the computer mouse and the iPhone.
Many objects are sold in left-handed versions, which are often more expensive than the right-handed versions.
Some items such as a computer mouse can be designed for right handed people but still be used by left handed people and in some cases may even be an improvement for right handed users.
Scissors, especially, cause left-handed people some trouble.
Most scissors are made for right-handed people.
Because they are designed this way, if a person tries to cut something while holding the scissors in their left hand, they cannot see the edge they are cutting.
The way the cutting action works is also designed for right-handers, and left-handed people tend to force the blades open instead of cutting cleanly.
Even though some scissors say that they can be used by both left and right-handed people, these scissors only have their handles changed.
They are still right-handed scissors and still cause the same issues.
It can be difficult for left-handed children to learn to write if the teacher does not give them special help.
The reason for this is that most writing moves from left to right across the page.
This means that left-handed writers may hold their hand over what has just been written.
In many countries, children are allowed to write with whichever hand is easier, although there are some countries where children may be made to write with the right hand.
Many things can be difficult for left-handed writers.
Chairs with writing boards may all be made for right-handed people.
This makes left-handed people sit uncomfortably and hold their pens in an different way.
Good things about left-handedness
Recent research has shown that it can be an advantage for animals and for humans to be left-handed.
Being able to do things differently from most people can be a great help in many sports, such as tennis or fighting with swords.
Left-handed people from Norse settlements in Ireland in the 10th Century were more favoured than right-handed people as they had the advantage of swinging with their left hand as they were on a horse or running down the stairs of a castle in attack or defence.
In tennis, left-handed players hold the racket in their left hand.
Because of this, their grip of the handle is supposedly adjusted in a slightly different style from right-handed players.
Some world champion tennis players that have played with their left hand include Jimmy Connors, Guillermo Vilas, John McEnroe, Martina Navratilova, Marcelo Ríos, and Rafael Nadal.
Cumulus clouds are white clouds that are dense and large.
They are known to look like cauliflower.
Mostly, you can see easily that cumulus clouds have flat bottoms but the tops are always changing shape.
Seeing a cumulus cloud means that the air is well mixed by up and down vertical drafts.
When a cumulus cloud grows into a thunderstorm, the cloud is called a cumulonimbus cloud.
This is a sign that the air is rising to the stratosphere.

Alexei Fyodorovich Karamazov is the "hero" of Fyodor Dostoevsky's novel, The Brothers Karamazov.
He is also called Alyosha, Alyoshka, Alyoshenka, Alyoshechka, Alexeichik, Lyosha, and Lyoshenka.
He is the youngest of the Karamazov brothers, being "then only twenty (his brother Ivan was twenty-three and their older brother, Dmitry, twenty-seven)".
The author's preface and first chapters declare that he is the novel's hero.
His personality is remarkably unselfish, extremely mature in his religious faith, sensitive to other people's feelings, and loving - "he certainly loved people: throughout his life he seemed to believe in people and to trust them, and yet no one ever thought him simple-minded or naive.
There was something in him (and it stayed with him all his life) that made people realize that he refused to sit in judgment on others, that he felt he had no right to, and that, whatever happened, he would never condemn anyone."
He passes on the influence of Zosima to the "younger generation" (the schoolboys) of the town.
Even with all his kind goodness, he has a gentle personality that makes almost everybody love him and feel comfortable around him.
Proud young Kolya Krasotkin says that the best thing about Alyosha is that he treats him like "an equal".
Anna-Theresa Tymieniecka says that Alyosha, like Prince Myshkin, the protagonist in another Dostoevsky novel, The Idiot, are almost Jesus-like characters, who are, however, unable to stop the greatest suffering of those around them.
She suggests that Alyosha is too calm, and does not do much action in the events of the novel.
Rufus W. Mathewson, however, argues that Alyosha Karamazov is a more successful positive hero than Prince Myshkin.
He argues that Alyosha's most impressive success as helping Dmitri.
He describes Alyosha as using forgiveness, kindness and natural justice, rather than trying to change people.
It is probable that Dostoevsky used his friend Vladimir Solovyov's character for Alyosha.
Vladimir Solovyov was a Russian poet and philosopher who was very generous, even giving away his clothes to people in the street.
