A colloid is a mixture of one substance spread out evenly inside another substance.
They can be in two different phases or states of matter.
One substance is the dispersion medium, such as water or gas.
The other is the dispersed medium, sometimes called the 'internal phase'.
This is usually tiny solid particles.
Otherwise, if the dispersion medium is a gas, then the internal phase can be either tiny particles or tiny droplets of a liquid.
Definition: A colloid is a substance microscopically dispersed evenly throughout another substance.
The dispersed-phase particles have a diameter between about 5 and 200 nanometers.
Milk is an emulsion, which is a colloid in which both parties are liquids.
Shaving cream and whipped cream are colloids of gas inside a liquid.
Gels, such as agar, jelly or even opals, are colloids of liquids inside solids.
Styrofoam and pumice are gases inside solids.
The red colour of cranberry glass is caused by the reflection of light off gold particles in the glass.
The glass is a colloid of solid particles inside the solid glass.
Mud is usually considered a suspension because the dirt will settle, but it may be a partial colloid, particularly with very fine-grained clay.
Fog is a complex mixture in which air has both water droplets and solid particles.
It may be colloidal in parts.

Lyme Regis is a coastal town in West Dorset, England, 25 miles west of Dorchester and  east of Exeter.
The town lies in Lyme Bay, on the English Channel coast at the Dorset-Devon border.
It is nicknamed 'The Pearl of Dorset'.
The town is noted for the fossils found in the cliffs and beaches, which are part of the Jurassic Coast–a World Heritage Site.
The harbour wall, "The Cobb", features in Jane Austen's novel Persuasion, and in the movie and novel, The French Lieutenant's Woman,  by local writer John Fowles.
When people were counted in the town's most recent census in 2001, the population was 4,406.
45% of the town's population were retired people.
The Jurassic Coast stretches over a distance of .
The coastal exposures along the coastline provide a continuous sequence of Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous rock formations spanning approximately 185 million years of the Earth's history.
The localities along the Jurassic Coast include some important fossil zones.
The Blue Lias rock is host to a multitude of remains from the early Jurassic, a time from which good fossil records are rare.
Many of the remains are well preserved, with complete specimens of several important species.
Many of the earliest discoveries of dinosaur and other prehistoric reptile remains were made in the area surrounding Lyme Regis, notably those discovered by Mary Anning (1799–1847).
Significant finds include Ichthyosaur, Plesiosaur, Dimorphodon, Scelidosaurus, one of the first armoured (Thyreophora) dinosaurs.
The town now holds an annual Mary Anning Day and Lyme Regis Fossil Festival.
A fossil of the world's largest moth was discovered in 1966 at Lyme Regis.
Landslips
The coastal region near Lyme Regis is subject to large landslips.
This means that Jurassic age fossils are regularly exposed and can be found on the beaches, but also causes devastation to the town.
One of the most spectacular landslips occurred on 24 December 1839,  west along the coast in Devon belonging to Bindon Manor and known as "The Dowlands Landslip".
About  of fields growing wheat and turnips were dislodged when a great chasm was formed more than  across,  deep and  long.
The crops remained intact on the top of what became known as "Goat Island" among the newly formed gullies.
On 3 February 1840, five weeks later, there was a second landslip nearby but much smaller than the former.
This strange phenomenon attracted many visitors, and the canny farmers charged sixpence for entrance and held a grand reaping party when the wheat ripened.
The area is now known as The Undercliff and is of great interest because of its diverse natural history.
In 2005, work began on a £16 million engineering project to stabilise the cliffs and protect the town from coastal erosion.
The town's main beach was reconstructed and re-opened on 1 July 2006.
On the evening of 6 May 2008, a  section of land slipped onto the beach between Lyme Regis and Charmouth.
Local Police described the landslip as the "worst for 100 years".
A non-renewable resource is a natural resource that is used up faster than it can be made by nature.
It cannot be produced, grown or generated on a scale which can sustain how quickly it is being consumed.
Once it is used up, there is no more available for the future.
Fossil fuels (such as coal, petroleum, and natural gas), types of nuclear power (uranium) and certain examples.
Resources such as timber (when harvested sustainably) or metals (which can be recycled) are considered renewable resources.
Non-renewable resources are also called exhaustible resources.

The Kimmeridge clay formation is a sedimentary deposit of fossiliferous marine clay and mudstones.
It is of Upper Jurassic age, and occurs in Europe.
It gives its name to a stage in the Upper Jurassic called the Kimmeridgian, lasting from 157.3–152.1 million years ago.
The clay is named after the village of Kimmeridge on the Dorset coast of England, where it is well exposed and forms part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
It exists across England, in a band stretching from Dorset in the south-west, north-east to East Anglia and Hull.
The River Humber Bridge's foundations are in the Kimmeridge Clay deposits under the Humber estuary.
The fossil fauna of the Kimmeridge Clay includes a reptile fauna of turtles, crocodiles, dinosaurs, plesiosaurs, pliosaurs and ichthyosaurs, as well as many invertebrate species such as Gryphaea.
an environment which is not present on the Earth today.
Much of Western Europe was covered by a high sea-level: this may be related to the opening of the Atlantic.
As a consequence, the UK was covered by a shallow and largely anoxic sea, perhaps less than 100m deep, with occasional landmasses.
It was often low in oxygen, which led to its organic material being only partially decomposed.
The mudstones are organic-rich, and gave rise to most of the North Sea oil.

Orbital forcing is the effect on climate of slow changes in the tilt of the Earth's axis and shape of the orbit (see Milankovitch cycles).
These orbital changes alter the amount of sunlight reaching the Earth by up to 25% at mid-latitudes.
In this context, the term "forcing" is a physical process that affects the Earth's climate.
This mechanism is believed to be responsible for the timing of the ice age cycles.
The timing of past glacial periods coincides very well with the predictions of the Milankovitch theory, and these effects can be calculated into the future.
Note in the graphic the strong 100,000 year periodicity of the cycles, and the striking asymmetry of the curves.
Ice ages deepen by progressive steps, but the recovery to interglacial conditions occurs in one big step.

Settlements in Kedah
Sungai Petani  (abbreviated "Sg.
Petani" or "SP") is a town in the state of Kedah, in the northern part of Peninsular Malaysia.
Sungai Petani is the second largest town in Kedah after Alor Star.
The name Sungai Petani has its roots from sungai meaning river and petani meaning farmer in the Malay language.
Sungai Petani in full means "Farmer's River", as there are a lot of paddy fields and farmers in the state.
The word "petani" may also refer to "Pattani", a city in present-day Thailand to which the river was once connected.
Even the old spelling of Sungai Petani was "Sungei Patani", without any reference to farming.
Sungai Petani is designated as a parliamentary area in its own right.
A total of 983,851 people (2008) are able to vote.
It is currently represented by Johari Abdul from Parti Keadilan Rakyat.
Sungai Petani has a high and medium-sized business community.
Small and medium industry also play a part in the local economy, producing many products, from semiconductors to television tubes and from textile to wood products.
Sungai Petani is also a booming business center with many large malls, franchise stores and business enclaves.
The town is accessible through the Federal Route 1 and also the North-South Expressway.
Sungai Petani has two highway exits while the Federal Route I runs across the city.
Apart from that, it also has a train station and a makeshift express bus hub that caters to any destination within Peninsular Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore.
Sungai Petani also has a relatively below average local bus service called City Liner, with air-conditioned red coaches.
The express bus station not far from Sungai Petani Railway Station.
The railway station is managed by Keretapi Tanah Melayu Berhad.
The nearest airport is the Penang International Airport on Penang Island.
Another alternative airport is the Sultan Abdul Halim Airport, Alor Star (the state capital of Kedah).
Bujang Valley
The Bujang Valley or Lembah Bujang,  sometimes referred to as the Ancient Wonder of Kedah, is a rich historical site covering an area of about 400sq.
km in Merbok (17 km from Sungai Petani), bounded by Bukit Coras (Choras Hill) and Gunung Jerai.
This archaeological area was the site of an ancient Hindu-Buddhist kingdom that ruled the region from the 4th century AD.
There is also an archaeological museum here which is known as The Lembah Bujang Archaeological Museum.
This museum displays more than 2,500 artifacts from Malaysia's earliest civilization that have been unearthed from the surrounding excavation sites.
Gold, gems, ceramics, Hindu gods and beautiful Buddha stone statues dating from the third to 14th centuries are all on display, though its main feature is Chandi Bukit Batu Pahat, a reconstructed temple built to worship the Hindu god Shiva.

Malaysia is a federation which consists of 13 states (Negeri) (Wilayah Persekutuan).
Eleven states and two federal territories are located on the Malay Peninsula while the remaining two states and one federal territory are on the island of Borneo.
The states and federal territories
Malaysia is a federation consisting of 13 states (Negeri) and 3 federal territories (Wilayah Persekutuan).
These are divided between the two regions of Malaysia, with 11 states and 2 federal territories on West Malaysia and the other 2 states and 1 federal territory in East Malaysia.
As Malaysia is a federation, the governance of the states is divided between the federal and the state governments, while the Federal government has direct administration of the federal territories.
The specific responsibilities of the federal and the state governments are listed in the Ninth Schedule of the Constitution of Malaysia.
Theoretically, any matter not set out in the Ninth Schedule can be legislated on by the individual states.
However, legal scholars generally view this as a "pauper's bequest" because of the large scope of the matters listed in the Ninth Schedule.
The courts themselves have generally favoured a broad interpretation of the language of the Ninth Schedule, thus limiting the number of possible subjects not covered.
The Ninth Schedule specifically lists the following matters as those that can only be legislated on by the states: land tenure, the Islamic religion, and local government.
The 13 states are based on historical Malay Kingdoms, and 9 of the 13 states, known as the Malay States, retain their royal families.
The Federal King (titled Yang di-Pertuan Agong) is elected (de facto rotated) among the nine rulers to serve a 5-year term.
The nine Malay States have a hereditary Ruler as titular Head of state and an executive Chief Minister or Menteri Besar as politically responsible Head of government.
The rulers of Johor, Kedah, Kelantan, Pahang, Perak, Selangor and Terengganu are styled Sultans (typically Islamic).
Only Negeri Sembilan's elective ruler holds the rare, autochthonous Malay title of Yang di-Pertuan Besar, whereas only the Ruler of Perlis is titled Raja.
Former British settlements and crown colonies of Penang and Malacca (both peninsular) and Sabah and Sarawak (both on Borneo) each have a federally appointed titular Governor (styled Yang di-Pertua Negeri) and an executive Chief Minister or Ketua Menteri.
Sabah and Sarawak have additional powers as part of the terms when they joined Malaysia, such as immigration controls.
Passports are required even for Malaysians for travelling between these two states or between either state and Peninsular Malaysia, however Peninsular Malaysians who are on social/business visits up to three months are allowed to produce a MyKad or birth certificate and fill in a special form in lieu of a passport.
Each state has a unicameral legislature called Dewan Undangan Negeri (DUN, State Assembly).
Members of DUN are elected from single-member constituencies drawn based on the population.
The state leader of the majority party in DUN is usually appointed Chief Minister by the Ruler or Governor.
The term of DUN members is five years unless the assembly is dissolved earlier by the Ruler or Governor on the advise of the Chief Minister.
Usually, DUN of the states in Peninsular Malaysia are dissolved in conjunction with the dissolution of the federal parliament, in order to have state elections running concurrently with the parliamentary election.
However, Rulers and Governors hold discretionary powers in dissolving the DUN.Each state sends two representatives to the Dewan Negara (Senate), the upper house of the federal parliament.
The Parliament of Malaysia is permitted to legislate on issues of land, Islamic religion and local government in order to provide for a uniform law between different states, or on the request of the state assembly concerned.
The law in question must also be passed by the state assembly as well, except in the case of certain land law-related subjects.
Non-Islamic issues that fall under the purview of the state may also be legislated on at the federal level for the purpose of conforming with Malaysian treaty obligations.
Singapore and Brunei
was a Malaysian state from the formation of Malaysia on  16 September 1963 until it was expelled from the Federation on 9 August 1965.

He made Śrīrāghavakṛpābhāṣyam on Narada Bhakti Sutra in 1991.
Rambhadracharya then renewed—after five hundred years—the tradition of Sanskrit commentaries on the Prasthanatrayi.
His commentary was also the second Sanskrit commentary on Prasthanatrayi of Ramananda Sampradaya, an the first was made by Ramananda himself and it was named Ānandabhāṣyam.
Rambhadracharya's commentary in Sanskrit on the Prasthanatrayi was the first written in almost 600 years.

Critical edition of Ramcharitmanas
Rambhadracharya's most controversial work was the critical edition of the Ramcharitmanas.
It was published as the Tulsi Peeth edition.
It was said that he changed the epic, but the dispute ended when Rambhadracharya said sorry for any problem caused by the publication.
A writ was also filed against him but it was not accepted.
This edition was published in 2005 by Shri Tulsi Peeth Seva Nyas.

On April 5, 2011, Anoufriev and Lytkin were arrested in connection with a series of six murders and attacks on local residents in Akademgorodok of Irkutsk.
The attacks, which involved a mallet and knife, began in December 2010.
Anoufriev and Lytkin were arrested after a video recording showing the dead body of a woman being mutilated with a knife was found on a camera belonging to Lytkin's uncle, who had become suspicious.
According to media reports, the youths had been influenced by reading about the Alexander Pichushkin and Dnepropetrovsk maniacs (Igor Suprunyuck and Viktor Sayenko) on the Internet.
Also, Anoufriev took part in a Russian neo_Nazi march.
A psychiatric examination found them to be sane, and they told doctors that they had chosen weak and drunk people as their victims.
On 2 April 2013, Anoufriev was sentenced to life imprisonment and Lytkin to 24 years.

Interview with Anoufriev
Enrico Fermi's paradox wonders why, with the age and size of the universe and billions of stars and planets that have existed for billions of years, we have not detected any other alien civilizations.
There have been attempts to resolve the Fermi paradox by finding evidence of alien civilizations, along with thoughts that such life could exist without humans knowing.
The physicist Enrico Fermi first asked the question in an informal discussion in 1950.
A paper by Michael H. Hart in 1975 made scientists more curious and they began to study the question in more detail.
This is why some people call it the Fermi–Hart paradox.
Other common names for the same phenomenon are Fermi's question ("Where are they?"),
the Fermi Problem, the Great Silence, and silentium universi (Latin for "the silence of the universe"; the misspelling silencium universi is also common).
Why interstellar communication is difficult
Space is deep
Extraterrestrial life might exist, but humans may not know about it.
To send signals across long distances in our galaxy, and the universe, is difficult.
This is because the power output needed to project the signal would be very large.
Coherent (laser-like) signals travel at the speed of light, but our own galaxy is 100,000 light years across.
Alien civilizations may not be able to detect the signal, or they may not understand the communication or the method used to communicate.
Space is dusty
Space is full of dust clouds and magnetic fields, which would disturb or eliminate even a coherent (laser-like) beam of electromagnetic radiation.
Thousands of tons of cosmic dust  are thought to reach the Earth's surface every year.
A signal would face much interference in any long-distance travel across space.
If it is difficult or impossible for us, it may also be difficult for other forms of life.
As for other galaxies, the Andromeda galaxy is 2.5 million light years away.
In our Galaxy, the time it takes for signals to travel is very large.
Vast eras of time would pass before a reply could be received.
There are theories about "worm-holes" in space in which communication could be sent through space more quickly, but these are just theories now.
There is still a desire for space travel.
Locally in the Solar System, the main goal is to get minerals which are scarce on Earth.
In 1961, Frank Drake wrote down an equation for the chance of a contactable alien civilization from another planet in the Milky Way Galaxy.
This is known as the Drake Equation (sometimes called the Green Bank equation or the Green Bank Formula).
Carl Sagan mentioned the Drake equation so often that it has been mistaken for the 'Sagan equation'.
The equation
N = the number of civilizations in our galaxy with which communication might be possible;
R* = the average rate of star formation per year in our galaxy
fp = the fraction of those stars that have planets
ne = the average number of planets that can potentially support life per star that has planets
fℓ = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop life at some point
fi = the fraction of the above that actually go on to develop intelligent life
fc = the fraction of civilizations that develop a technology that releases detectable signs of their existence into space
L = the length of time for which such civilizations release detectable signals into space.
Solving it
Although written as an equation, Drake's formulation is not particularly useful for getting a value of .
The last four parameters,  and  are not known.
They are very hard to guess, with values ranging over many orders of magnitude.
Therefore, the SETI League says the importance of the Drake equation is not in solving it, but in thinking about it.
It may be more useful to think of it as a series of questions framed as a numbers game.
The Voyager Golden Records are records that contain sounds and images chosen to show the life and culture on Earth.
They show photographs of life on earth, including nature, cities, people and animals.
They also have greetings recorded in 55 languages, songs from around the world, and non-musical sounds.
The record gives specific instructions and distance measurements that can be used to pinpoint Earth's location as well.
The record was designed by a team headed by Carl Sagan to communicate with extraterrestrial life.
These records which were sent in the Voyager spacecraft in 1977, are for alien life forms to see.
The outside of the record is designed so that aliens could understand, with instructions about how to play the record next to images.
However, the records can be seen as a symbol rather than a serious attempt to contact alien life forms.

A midget is not somebody with dwarfism; a midget is a person that has the same proportions of body parts as an averaged-sized human being.
The word midget can also sometimes be used as an insult.
Sometimes, the word is used for people a foot below the normal height of a person.[source?]

Lucius Annaeus Seneca was a Roman philosopher, poet and politician.
He was born about 4 BC in Córdoba in Hispania (which is now  in Spain).
Seneca's father was a writer known as Seneca the Elder.
Seneca's mother was called Helvia.
Seneca often lived in the city of Rome.
He died by suicide in year 65.
During the reign of Roman emperor Claudius, Seneca was sent in exile to the island of Corsica for nine years.
This act was caused by Messalina who was the wife of Claudius.
In 49 AD Claudius married his own niece Agrippina, and she called Seneca back to Rome to be a tutor for her son Nero.
Nero became emperor in 54 AD, and Seneca helped him to rule the Roman Empire for the next five years.
After 59 AD, Nero became like a tyrant, and Seneca lost control over him.
In 65 AD Nero accused Seneca of helping the people in the Pisonian conspiracy who wanted to kill Nero.
Seneca was probably innocent, but Nero forced Seneca to kill himself.
Seneca was a very famous writer.
He wrote books on philosophy, and he also wrote plays.
Most of his books still exist.
His philosophy books were about Stoicism.
These books include his Letters to Lucilius and his Essays (or "Dialogues").
Seneca wanted to find the right way for people to be happy, so he wrote about ethics.
He believed that some emotions, including anger and grief, are bad and should be avoided.
He wrote about the shortness of life, and he wrote about favours, mercy, friendship, and the need to help other people.
His plays are tragedies.
They are based on Greek mythology, and have titles such as: Hercules, Trojan Women, Phoenician Women, Phaedra, and Oedipus.
