The Order of Merit () is an award, for notable work in the armed forces, science, art, literature, or for the promotion of culture.
The order was set up in 1902, by Edward VII.
Membership of the order is a personal gift of its Sovereign (the monarch does not take advice from politicians about who should be a member).
The sovereign of the order is the reigning monarch of the Commonwealth realms.
The award is limited to 24 living recipients at any one time from these countries, plus a small number of honorary members.
Whilst all members can use the post-nominal letters OM and a medallion for life, the Order of Merit's precedence, amongst other honours, differs between Commonwealth realms.
The award filled a gap in the honour system under Queen Victoria.
It was only possible to reward people who held official positiions.
So, for example, T.H. Huxley could be rewarded because he had sat on Royal Commissions, but Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace held no official positions.
Without question their work was as important as Huxley's, or more so.
This kind of problem was known by Edward VII, and when he eventually became king, he drew up this new award which had no such limitations.
The idea had been discussed before.
The first mention of a possible Order of Merit was made after the Battle of Trafalgar, in 1805.
It was discussed in letters between the First Lord of the Admiralty, Lord Barham and Prime Minister William Pitt.
Nothing came from the idea.
Later, Queen Victoria, her courtiers, and politicians, all thought that a new order, based on the Prussian order Pour le Mérite, would make up for the insufficient recognition offered by the established honours system to achievement outside of public service, in realms such as art, music, literature, industry, and science.
Victoria's husband, Albert, Prince Consort, took an interest in the matter; he wrote in his diary that he met on 16 January 1844 with Robert Peel to discuss the "idea of institution of a civil Order of Merit" and three days later he talked with the Queen on the subject.
The concept did not wither and, on 5 January 1888, British prime minister the Marquess of Salisbury submitted to the Queen a draft constitution for an Order of Merit in Science and Art, consisting of one grade split into two branches of knighthood: the Order of Scientific Merit - for Knights of Merit in Science, with the post-nominal letters KMS and the Order of Artistic Merit - for Knights of Merit in Art, with the post-nominal letters KMA.
However, Sir Frederic Leighton, President of the Royal Academy, advised against the new order, primarily because of its selection process.
It was Victoria's son, Edward VII, who eventually founded the Order of Merit, on 26 June 1902 the date for which his coronation had been originally planned as a means to acknowledge "exceptionally meritorious service in Our Navy and Our Army, or who may have rendered exceptionally meritorious service towards the advancement of Art, Literature and Science"; all modern aspects of the order were established under his direction, including the division for military figures.
From the outset, prime ministers attempted to propose candidates or lobbied to influence the monarch's decision on appointments, but the Royal Household adamantly guarded information about potential names.
After 1931, when the Commonwealth of Nations came into being and the former Dominions of the British Empire became independent states, equal in status to the UK, the Order of Merit remained an honour open to all the King's realms; thus, as with the monarch who conferred it, the order ceased to be purely British.
From the start, the order has been open to women, Florence Nightingale being the first woman to receive the honour, in 1907.
Several people have not taken the honour, such as Rudyard Kipling, A. E. Housman, and George Bernard Shaw.
To date, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, remains the youngest person ever inducted into the Order of Merit, having been admitted by Queen Elizabeth II in 1968, when he was 47 years of age.
Eligibility and appointment
All citizens of the Commonwealth realms are able to be given the Order of Merit.
There can only be 24 living people in the order at any given time, not including honorary appointees, and new members are personally selected by the reigning monarch of the 16 realms, presently Queen Elizabeth II, with the help of her private secretaries; the order has thus been described as "quite possibly, the most prestigious honour one can receive on planet Earth."
Within the limited membership is a designated military division, with its own unique insignia; though it has not been abolished, it is currently unused, the Earl Mountbatten of Burma having been the last person so honoured.
Honorary members form another group, to which there is no limit, though such appointments are rare; individuals from countries in the Commonwealth of Nations that are not headed by Elizabeth II are considered foreigners, and thus are granted only honorary admissions, such as Nelson Mandela (South Africa) and Mother Teresa (India).
On admission into the Order of Merit, members can use the post-nominal letters OM, and have the badge of the order, consisting of a golden crown from which is suspended a red enamelled cross, itself centred by a disk of blue enamel, surrounded by a gold laurel wreath, and bearing in gold lettering the words FOR MERIT; the insignia for the military grouping has a pair of crossed swords behind the central disk.
The ribbon of the Order of Merit is divided into two stripes of red and blue; men wear their badges on a neck ribbon, while women carry theirs on a ribbon bow pinned to the left shoulder, and aides-de-camp may wear the insignia on their aiguillettes.
Since 1991, the insignia is to be given back upon the recipient's death.

Honorary members
Precedence in each realm
As the Order of Merit is open to the citizens of sixteen different countries, each with their own system of orders, decorations, and medals, the order's place of precedence varies from country to country.
While in the United Kingdom, members rank below Knights and Dames Grand Cross of the Order of the Bath, it has been claimed by Stanley Martin, in his book The Order of Merit 1902-2002: One Hundred Years of Matchless Honour, that the Order of Merit is actually the pinnacle of the British honours system.
Similarly, though it was not listed in the Canadian order of precedence for honours, decorations, and medals until December 2010, except relating to those who were appointed to the order prior to 1 June 1972, both Christopher McCreery, an expert on Canadian honours and secretary to the Lieutenant Governor of Nova Scotia, and Rafal Heydel-Mankoo, an editor of Burke's Peerage,  stated that the Order of Merit was the highest civilian award for merit a Canadian could receive.

The Ellsworth Street Bridge  is a highway bridge that crosses the Willamette River in Albany, Oregon, United States.
Built in 1925, the two-lane structure carries U.S. Route 20 eastbound traffic, with the adjacent Lyon Street Bridge carrying westbound traffic.
The -long steel-truss bridge was designed by Conde McCullough and opened in 1926.
In 1887, a bridge was built across the Willamette River at Albany for the Corvallis and Eastern railway followed by the Steel Bridge built in 1893 just down river.
The state of Oregon began building a new bridge across the river at the city in 1925 to carry vehicular traffic.
Designed by state highway department bridge designer Conde McCullough, it was constructed by the Union Bridge Company based in Portland, Oregon.
The steel truss structure was completed in 1926.
When the bridge opened, the Albany-Corvallis Highway was completed.
At the time the structure was named the Albany Bridge.
In 1973, the neighboring Lyon Street Bridge was completed to the east to expand capacity to a total of four lanes between the two bridges.
Ellsworth Street Bridge was refurbished in 1971 and 2002.
As of 2004, the bridge handled an average of 9,850 cars per day.
It has existed since 1965, when it replaced the British West Indies dollar, and it is normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $ or, alternatively, EC$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.
The EC$ is subdivided into 100 cents.
It has been pegged to the United States dollar since 1976 and the exchange rate is currently at US$1 = EC$2.70.
Members of the Currency Union
Six of the eight countries which use the EC$ are independent (Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines).
There are sprint hurdle races and long hurdle races.
The standard sprint hurdle race is 110 meters for men and 100 meters for women.
Men and women run 400 meters in the standard long hurdle race.
Each of these races is run over ten hurdles and they are all Olympic events.
Other distances are sometimes run, particularly indoors.
The sprint hurdle race indoors is usually 60 meters for both men and women, although races 55 meters or 50 meters long are sometimes run.
Trackinfo explanation of hurdles
Hammer throw is an athletic throwing event.
The goal of it is to throw a heavy metal ball attached to a wire and handle.
The name "hammer throw" is derived from the older Scottish sport competitions.
Like in other throwing events, competitors gain maximum distance by swinging the hammer above their head to set up the circular motion.
Then, they apply force and pick up speed by completing one to four turns in the circle.
In competition, most throwers turn three or four times to gradually increase the velocity with each turn.
The most important factors for a long throw are the angle of release and the speed of the ball.
The hammer throw was one of the first Olympic games played.
Any gender can take part in the event.

Ocean thermal energy conversion (OTEC) is a way of getting useful energy from the world's oceans.
The sun shines on the oceans of the world and in the hot parts near the water at the sea's surface can be quite warm, sometimes as high as 30°C.
The difference in temperature between the warm surface water and the cold deep water may only be around 15 °C.
But we can build a machine called a heat engine, which can use this harry difference to generate power that can be used by people that live in that place.
A machine which can do this is called an OTEC machine which stands for ocean thermal energy conversion.
The first OTEC machine was built in Cuba in 1930 and made 22 kW of electricity.
The largest machine built so far generated 250 kW in 1999 and was made by the US.
Plans to build even bigger machines of around 10 MW have been made.
OTEC can also supply quantities of cold water as a by-product.
This can be used for refrigeration and can help crops and fish grow.
OTEC can also produce large amounts of salt-free water, which can be useful on mid-ocean islands as drinking water.
Middle distance race event is longer than sprints, up to 3000 metres.
The standard middle distances are the 800 metres, 1500 metres and the mile run, while the 3000 metres may also be classified  as a middle distance event.
The 880 yard run, or half mile, was the forebear to the 800 m distance and it has its roots in competitions in the United Kingdom in the 1830s.
The 1500 m came about as a result of running three laps of a 500 m track, which was commonplace in continental Europe in the 20th century.

New World vultures are the group of vultures that are found in the Americas.
They form the  family Cathartidae.
There are seven species in five genera.
Four of the genera contain only one species each, so they are monotypic.
These are large birds of prey that feed on the meat of dead or dying animals.
The name "Cathartidae" comes from the Greek word katharsis meaning to purge or make clean.
Unlike other birds of prey, they have a good sense of smell.
The opening of their nostrils has a hole through from one side of the beak to the other.
Some other vultures hop to move on the ground, but the New World vultures walk.
Genus Coragyps
Black vulture Coragyps atratus in South America and north to US
Genus Cathartes
Turkey vulture Cathartes aura throughout the Americas to southern Canada
Lesser yellow-headed vulture Cathartes burrovianus in South America and north to Mexico
Greater yellow-headed vulture Cathartes melambrotus in the Amazon Basin of tropical South America
Genus Gymnogyps
California condor Gymnogyps californianus in California.
Formerly widespread in the mountains of western North America.
Genus Vultur
Andean condor Vultur gryphus in the Andes
Genus Sarcoramphus
King vulture Sarcoramphus papa from Southern Mexico to northern Argentina
Counter-Strike is a first-person shooter video game.
It was made by Valve Corporation and released on November 9, 2000.
It was made for Microsoft Windows first, but it was also released for the Xbox in 2003 and for OS X and Linux in 2013.
Before it became its own game, Counter-Strike was a mod for Valve's other game, Half-Life.
It is a multiplayer game where two teams, counter-terrorists and terrorists, fight each other and try to finish their mission, or try to stop the other team from finishing their mission.
These missions include exploding a bomb, rescuing hostages, or killing the VIP on the other team.
The mission changes depending on the level the teams are playing on.
A team wins if they finish their mission, or if they kill all the players on the other team.
Players can buy weapons and equipment at the beginning of each round with the money they get from the previous rounds.
People usually play the game online, where they connect to a server and fight other players.
Counter-Strike is also sometimes called Counter-Strike 1.6, because there have been more games released in the series, and 1.6 was the last update for the game.
There have been two sequels to the game, Counter-Strike: Source and Counter-Strike: Global Offensive.

Racewalking, or Walking race, is a long-distance athletic event.
It is different from running: in that one foot must appear to be in contact with the ground at all times.
Stride length is reduced, so to achieve competitive speeds, race walkers must walk at speeds close to those that Olympic 400-meter runners use.
They must walk at those speeds for hours at a time since the Olympic events are the 20 km race walk and 50 km race walk.

This is the favoured scientific hypothesis for the formation of the Moon.
the surface of the Moon was once molten
the Moon's apparently relatively small iron core and a lower density than the Earth, and
evidence of similar collisions in other star systems (which result in 'debris disks')
There are several unanswered issues with this hypothesis.
Lunar oxygen isotopic ratios are essentially identical to Earth, with no evidence of a contribution from another solar body.
Also, lunar samples do not have expected ratios of volatile elements, iron oxide, or siderophilic elements (chemical elements which bond with iron), and there is no evidence that the Earth ever had the magma ocean implied by the hypothesis.
Another notable feature is the relatively low density of the Moon, which must mean it does not have a large metallic core, which other terrestrial bodies in the solar system have.
This has led to the giant impact hypothesis: the idea that the Moon was formed during a giant impact of the proto-Earth with another protoplanet.
The impactor, sometimes called Theia, is thought to have been a little smaller than the planet Mars.
Theia collided with Earth about 4.533 Ga. Models reveal that when an impactor this size struck the proto-Earth at a low angle and relatively low speed (), much material from the mantles (and proto-crusts) of the proto-Earth and the impactor was ejected into space, where much of it stayed in orbit around the Earth.
The ejecta in orbit around the Earth could have condensed into a single body within weeks.
Analysis of lunar rock brought back by Apollo astronauts appears to show traces of Theia.
The researchers claim this confirms the theory that the Moon was created by a cataclysmic collision.
Some scientists are surprised that the difference between the Theian material found in the Moon rock and the Earth is so small.
COBOL is a programming language that was developed in the year 1959.
It was one of the first computer programming languages.
The name COBOL stands for COmmon Business-Oriented Language.
COBOL was created because people wanted a language they could use to describe the problems in a way that is independent of the hardware used.
Like SQL COBOL uses a syntax that is close to that of natural languages.
As an example,  ADD YEARS TO AGE is a valid expression.
There are several different versions of COBOL.
The newest is from 2002.
In general, versions of the language before 1985 are not compatible with the newer versions, from 1985 and later.
In his letter to an editor in 1975 titled "How do we tell truths that might hurt?",
computer scientist and Turing Award recipient Edsger Dijkstra remarked that "The use of COBOL cripples the mind; its teaching should, therefore, be regarded as a criminal offense."
In this letter, Dijkstra also criticised several other languages which were used at the time.
Edsger Wybe Dijkstra (May 11, 1930 – August 6, 2002; ) was a Dutch computer scientist.
He received the 1972  Turing Award  for fundamental contributions to developing programming languages, and was the Schlumberger Centennial Chair of Computer Sciences at The University of Texas at Austin from 1984 until 2000.
Shortly before his death in 2002, he received the ACM PODC Influential Paper Award in distributed computing for his work on self-stabilization of program computation.
This annual award was renamed the Dijkstra Prize the following year, in his honor.

Lotus Cars is a British builder of sports and racing cars.
It is based at the old site of RAF Hethel, a World War II airfield in Norfolk.
The company designs and builds race and production cars.
The cars are built to have a low weight.
The cars handle well (they can turn, start and stop quickly.)
Lotus Cars was founded and owned for many years by Colin Chapman.
After his death and a period of financial instability, it was bought by General Motors, then by businessman Romano Artioli and DRB-HICOM through its subsidiary Proton.
It is currently owned by Chinese multinational Geely.
The company was started as Lotus Engineering Ltd. by engineer Colin Chapman in 1952 but had roots in 1948 when Chapman first started building racing cars in a garage.
The first factory was in old stables in Hornsey, North London.
Team Lotus was started in 1954.
It was split off from the Lotus Engineering company.
Team Lotus was active and competitive in Formula One racing from 1958 to 1994.
The Lotus Group of Companies was formed in 1959.
One company was Lotus Cars Limited which made road cars.
The other company was Lotus Components Limited which worked on customer race cars.
Lotus Components Limited became Lotus Racing Limited in 1971 but stopped building cars in the same year.
In 1959, the company moved to Cheshunt, Hertfordshire into a factory built to make cars.
Since 1966 the company has been in a modern factory and road test facility at Hethel, near Wymondham.
This site is the former RAF Hethel base.
The test track uses parts of the old runway.
In its early days, Lotus sold cars aimed at privateer racers and trialists.
Its early road cars could be bought as kits, in order to save on purchase tax.
The kit car era ended in the late 1960s and early 1970s, with the introduction of the Elan, the first car manufactured by the company.
In early 1982, Chapman came to an agreement with Toyota to exchange intellectual property and applied expertise.
This resulted in Lotus collaborating in the design and development of Toyota sports cars and Toyota supplying parts to Lotus, making development and production of their new models, such as the Excel, cost effective.
Chapman died of a heart attack in 1982 at the age of 54.
The car maker built tens of thousands of successful racing and road cars.
They won the Formula One World Championship seven times.
At the time of his death he was linked with the DeLorean scandal over the use of government subsidies for the production of DeLorean DMC-12 for which Lotus had designed the chassis.
In 1986, the company was bought by General Motors.
On 27 August 1993, GM sold the company to Bugatti Automobili SpA owned by businessman Romano Artioli.
In 1996, a majority share in Lotus was sold to Proton, a Malaysian car company.
On 24 May 2017, Chinese multinational Geely announced that was taking a 51% controlling stake in Lotus.
The remaining 49% was acquired by Etika Automotive.
The company is organized as Group Lotus.
Group Lotus is divided into Lotus Cars and Lotus Engineering.
Lotus Engineering builds suspension for other car builders.
They also worked with General Motors to develop the 4-cylinder Ecotec engine.
The Lotus Cars helped its customers to race its cars.
They entered Formula One through its sister company Team Lotus in 1958.
In 1960, Lotus got its first win in F1.
A Lotus 18 driven by Stirling Moss won at Monaco.
The car was entered by privateer Rob Walker.
They had big success in 1963 with the Lotus 25.
With Jim Clark driving, Lotus its first F1 World Constructors Championship.
Clark was killed in a crash in a Formula Two Lotus 48 in April 1968.
It was a severe blow to the team and to Formula One.
Clark was the dominant driver with the best car at the time.
He is an important part of Lotus' early years.
The 1963 championship was won by Clark's teammate, Graham Hill.
Team Lotus made the mid-engine layout popular for IndyCars.
They developed the first monocoque Formula One chassis.
They also made the engine and transaxle a part of the chassis.
A transaxle is a combination of the transmission and rear axle.
Lotus was also among the first in Formula One to add wings and shaping the bottom of the car.
This created aerodynamic downforce.
They were the first to move radiators to the sides of the car.
This improved the aerodynamic performance of the car.
Team Lotus is also considered as the pioneer of the active suspension.
After Chapman's death, until the late 1980s, Lotus was still to be a major player in Formula One.
Ayrton Senna drove for the team from 1985 to 1987.
Senna won twice in each year and earned 17 pole positions.
By the company's last Formula One race in 1994, the cars were not competitive.
At the end of the 1994 season, Lotus left Formula One racing.
Team Lotus won a total of 79 Grand Prix races.
Team Lotus was the first team to achieve 50 Grand Prix victories.

In 1992, Team Lotus started Classic Team Lotus for the Works historic motorsport activity.
Classic Team Lotus repairs and keeps Lotus F1 cars in running condition.
They race them in the FIA Historic Formula One Championship.
It keeps the Team Lotus archive and the Works Collection of cars.
It is managed by Clive Chapman, son of company founder Colin Chapman.
The Lotus name returned to Formula One for the 2010 season.
A new team in Malaysia was started called Lotus Racing.
They used the Lotus name with license from Group Lotus.
The new team was unrelated to the old Team Lotus.
The new team was funded by a Malaysian Consortium (group of companies) including Proton, the former owner of Lotus.
After the 2010 season, Proton ended the license for Lotus Racing to use the Lotus name.
Proton believed the team broke the license rules.
Lotus Racing then bought Team Lotus Ventures Ltd. This company owned the rights to use the name Team Lotus.
The Lotus Racing team announced they would be known as Team Lotus starting in 2011.
In December 2010 Group Lotus (Proton) purchased part of the Renault F1 team.
They announced the team would be now be known as Lotus Renault GP.
Lotus Renault GP will compete in Formula One starting in 2011.
