They won the first Berlin championship final in 1905.
Because of money troubles in 1920 Hertha merged with the richer Berliner Sport-Club to form Hertha Berliner Sport Club.
The new team was still successful, but never the best.
Hertha BSC was in the German championship final every year from 1926 to 1930, but were only able to win in 1930.
Hertha and BSC split in 1930, and Hertha won the championship again in 1931.
Hertha was Germany's second most successful team during the inter-war years.
Play under the Third Reich
German football was re-organized under the Third Reich in 1933 into sixteen top-flight divisions, which saw Hertha playing in the Gauliga Berlin-Brandenburg.
The club continued to be successful in their division, regularly finishing in the upper half of the table and capturing the divisional title in 1935, 1937, and 1944.
However, they did not do well nationally, and never got past the early rounds of the national championshipships.
Postwar play in divided Berlin
After World War II, occupying Allied authorities banned most organisations in Germany, including sports and football clubs.
Hertha restarted at the end of 1945 as SG Gesundbrunnen (named after a district of northern Berlin) and resumed play in the Oberliga Berlin - Gruppe C. The thirty-six teams of the first season of the postwar Oberliga Berlin were reduced to just 12 the next year and the club found itself out of first division football and playing in the Amateurliga Berlin.
By the end of 1949, they had become Hertha BSC Berlin again.
In the 1949/50 season the Soviets would not allow Hertha to play against East German teams, because they had signed some players and a coach who had left the Dresden club SG Friedrichstadt for West Berlin.
A number of sides from the eastern half of the city were forced from the Oberliga Berlin to the newly established DDR-Liga beginning with the 1950-51 season.
Throughout the 1950's there was a rivalry with Tennis Borussia Berlin, but the idea of the two merger between the two clubs in 1958 was rejected.
Hertha was a founder of the Bundesliga in 1963 and was Berlin's reigning champion.
But Hertha was demoted after the 1964-65 season because the club had tried to bribe players to play in the city after the Berlin Wall had been built, and players did not want to move to the city.
To keep a Berlin team in the Bundesliga, Tasmania 1900 Berlin, were promoted instead.
Tasmania were the worst side ever in the Bundesliga history.
Hertha returned to the Bundesliga in 1968-69 and became Berlin's favourite side.
Hertha had to sell the team's former home ground in 1974 when investigations about the match fixing scandal of 1971 showed that the club was 6 million DM (€3 million) in debt.
After two turns in the Bundesliga (1982-83 and 1990-91) Hertha was immediately relegated after poor performances.
Herthas amateur side was more successful, getting to the final of the German Cup in 1993 where they lost 0:1 to Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen.
By 1994 Hertha BSC was 10 million DM (€5 million) in debt.
More land had to be sold and a new sponsor and management team were found.
By 1997 Hertha got back into the Bundesliga.
The y were the first Berlin club in 10 years to be in the top division.
Since then they have generally finished in the top third of the Bundesliga.
Most recently, bright spots for the side have been a continuous string of appearances in international play in the UEFA Cup and the UEFA Champions League beginning in the 1999 season, and the signing of players such as Sebastian Deisler and Brazilian international Marcelinho, named the Bundesliga's player of the year in May of 2005.
Hertha has also invested heavily in its own youth football academy, which has produced several players with Bundesliga potential.
The team was close to relegation in the 2003-04 season, but managed to finished 4th the following season.
Hertha only missed out on the Champions League after they were held to a draw on the final day by Hannover 96, which saw Werder Bremen over take them for the spot on the final day.
As a thank-you gesture, Werder sent the Hannover squad ninety-six bottles of champagne.
In 2005-06 the Herthaner finished 6th, and qualified for the UEFA Cup by defeating FK Moskva in the Intertoto Cup.
Hertha BSC plays its matches in Berlin's Olympiastadion.
It is biggest stadium in Germany except for Borussia Dortmund'''s Westfalenstadion.
From 1904 to 1963, Herthas home ground was the Plumpe in Wedding's Gesundbrunnen district.
A new stadium was built there in 1923.
BSC'' left that site when it joined the Bundesliga in 1963.
It was the sale of the Plumpe site in 1974 helped the club avoid bankruptcy

The Mandelbrot set is an example of a fractal in mathematics.
It is named after Benoît Mandelbrot, a Polish-French-American mathematician.
The Mandelbrot set is important for chaos theory.
The edging of the set shows a self-similarity, which is perfect, but because of the minute detail, it looks like it evens out.
The Mandelbrot set can be explained with the equation zn+1 = zn2 + c. In that equation, c and z are complex numbers and n is zero or a positive integer (natural number).
Starting with z0=0, c is in the Mandelbrot set if the absolute value of zn never becomes larger than a certain number (that number depends on c), no matter how large n gets.
Mandelbrot was one of the first to use computer graphics to create and display fractal geometric images, leading to his discovering the Mandelbrot set in 1979.
That was because he had access to IBM's computers.
He was able to show how visual complexity can be created from simple rules.
He said that things typically considered to be "rough", a "mess" or "chaotic", like clouds or shorelines, actually had a "degree of order".
The equation zn+1 = zn2 + c was known long before Benoit Mandelbrot used a computer to visualize it.
Images are created by applying the equation to each pixel in an iterative process, using the pixel's position in the image for the number 'c'. '
c' is obtained by mapping the position of the pixel in the image relative to the position of the point on the complex plane.
For example, if c = 1 then the sequence is 0, 1, 2, 5, 26,…, which goes to infinity.
Therefore, 1 is not an element of the Mandelbrot set, and thus is not coloured black.
On the other hand, if c is equal to the square root of -1, also known as i, then the sequence is 0, i, (−1 + i), −i, (−1 + i), −i…, which does not go to infinity and so it belongs to the Mandelbrot set.
Multibrot is a generalization that allows any exponent: zn+1 = znd + c. These sets are called Multibrot sets.
The Multibrot set for d = 2 is the Mandelbrot set.

Euphoria (from Ancient Greek , from εὖ (eu), "well", and φέρω (pherō), "to bear") is a mental and emotional condition which makes a person feel extremely happy, excited, and carefree.
These feelings are much stronger and more intense than what a human would normally feel.
However, some natural human behaviors can cause brief states of euphoria.
For example, people may feel euphoric for a short time after orgasm, when in love, or after a very important athletic achievement.
Sometimes, people can also feel euphoria during certain religious or spiritual rituals, or while meditating.
More often, euphoria is caused by certain psychoactive drugs, mental illnesses, or medical problems.
Euphoria is the opposite of dysphoria.
Alcohol: People may feel euphoria soon after they begin drinking alcohol (especially in the first 10–15 minutes after they begin to drink).
Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata): A sedative that calms the nervous system and acts as a sleep aid.
One compound in this herb, called harmine, may cause euphoria.
Cannabis: Cannabis contains tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which can cause euphoria as well as relaxation and sedation.
Marijuana and hashish are both made from cannabis plants.
Stimulants: Stimulant drugs can cause euphoria as well as high energy, hyperactivity, and lack of appetite.
There are different types of stimulants.
Amphetamines (including methamphetamine) are the best known drugs in this category.
MDMA: Commonly called Ecstasy, MDMA causes strong feelings of euphoria as well as rushes of energy.
MDMA and MDEA ("Eve") are popular drugs among young adults.
Opium: A drug made from the unripe seed-pods of the opium poppy.
It can cause euphoria and drowsiness, and can decrease pain.
Heroin, morphine, and codeine are made from opium.
Euphoria can be a symptom of some mental illnesses.
For example, euphoria is a common symptom of mania, an extreme, high-energy mood state which can happen with bipolar disorder and other mental health conditions.
Medical Illness
Euphoria can also be a symptom of some medical problems.
It is a common symptom of hypoxia.
It is a dangerous symptom, because it can make a hypoxic person feel so good and carefree that they do not realise that they are not getting enough oxygen.
Euphoria can be a symptom of hyperthyroidism.
It can also be caused by head injuries or conditions which affect the central nervous system, like syphilis and multiple sclerosis.
Sometimes, people feel euphoria when exercising.
A well-known example is "runner's high," a state of euphoria and high energy that runners sometimes experience, especially during intense workouts.
According to recent studies, intense exercise can cause the brain to release endorphins.
These endorphins attach to the same brain receptors as opioid drugs, so they can cause the same euphoric effects as those drugs do.
Unfortunately, this means that a person could get chemically addicted to consistent exercise, just as he or she might get addicted to opiates.
Shanxi (山西) is a province of the People's Republic China.
It is in northern China.
The Yellow River flows through it.
The name Shanxi means "mountain's west" or "west of the mountains", as it is west of the Taihang Mountains.
Although in pinyin, the name of the neighboring province to the west, "Shaanxi", is spelled exactly the same as "Shanxi", the only difference in how the two words are pronounced is that the first syllable in "Shanxi" is said using the first tone in Mandarin, while the first syllable in "Shaanxi" is said with the third tone.
Mi Fu (1051–1107), also known as Mi Fei was a Chinese painter, poet, and calligrapher born in Taiyuan, Shanxi during the Song Dynasty.
His style of painting was misty landscapes.
This style is the "Mi Fu" style uses large wet dots of ink.
This ink is put on with a flat brush.
Mi Fu was born in 1051.
His mother was employed as a midwife to deliver Emperor Shenzong and afterwards she became the wet-nurse who look after and feed the Emperor Shenzong who was to start his reign in 1051 and continue until 1107.
Mi Fu knew the imperial family and he lived in the privileged location of the royal palaces.
He ignored formal lessons but it could be seen that he had a gift for writing, painted and drawing.
He was one of the four best calligraphers in the Song Dynasty.
Mi Fu was known as odd.
Some called him "Madman Mi" because he collected stones and said one stone was his brother.
He was a heavy drinker.
His poetry followed the style of Li Bai and his calligraphy that of Wang Xizhi.
He became a civil servant to mixed success.
He was firstly a book editor in the emperors library before undertaking a number of posts in Henan province.

He became secretary to the Board of Rites before he was appointed governor of Huaiyang in Jiangsu province.
He had five sons and eight daughters.
He died in 1107.
His son, Mi Youren, would also be a famous painter in his father's artistic style.
Mi Fu is considered the best of all the calligraphers of the Song dynasty.
An example of his work has sold for nearly four million dollars.

Heredity is the passing of traits (characteristics) from parents to offspring.
In biology, the study of heredity is called genetics.
With most living things, heredity is analysed by breeding (making crosses), often in a laboratory.
But with humans, heredity is studied in other ways.
Family pedigrees, identical twins and DNA genome analysis all provide clues.
Variation in biology usually refers to the heritable differences within a species.
This is important in genetics, and the study of evolution in natural populations.
Heritable variation is ultimately caused by mutations of genes and chromosomes, and shuffled by recombination.
Outcrossing keeps, and inbreeding reduces, heritable variation.
Taiyuan is a city in China.
It is the capital of Shanxi Province.
Mi Fu the poet was born here in 1051.

The Baba Yaga is a mythical witchlike character.
She is found in Slavic folklore, one of the most popular demons in slavic beliefs.
She looks like an ugly and deformed woman.
She lives in a house that has giant chicken feet, so it can walk around.
Sometimes she travels in a mortar and pestle that can fly by magic.
Baba Yaga is different from most folklore characters because even though she is usually bad, sometimes she is good.
Sometimes she creates things or puts the hero of the story in a situation where he or she creates things.
Scholar Andreas Johns says that Baba Yaga is meant to be like nature itself: She can help but she can also eat you.
Baba Yaga appears as a character in many video games and other works of fiction, for example the Quest for Glory series of games.
The feminist website The Hairpin wrote an advice column called "Ask Baba Yaga" as a joke.

Rudolf Ludwig Karl Virchow (13 October 1821 – 5 September 1902) was a German doctor, anthropologist, pathologist, prehistorian, biologist and politician, known for his advancement of public health.
Referred to as "the father of pathology," he is considered one of the founders of social medicine.
He coined the catch-phrase omnis cellula e cellula, meaning, cells only derive from other cells.
Remak obtained his medical degree from Friedrich Wilhelm University in Berlin in 1838 specializing in neurology.
He worked on embryology, and also discovered unmyelinated nerve fibres and the nerve cells in the heart sometimes called Remak's ganglia.

Oscar Hertwig (21 April 1849, Friedberg, Hesse – 25 October 1922, Berlin) was a German zoologist, anatomist and professor, who also wrote about the theory of evolution over 55 years after Charles Darwin's The Origin of Species.
Oscar Hertwig was a leader in the field of embryology.
He discovered fertilization of sea urchins, he recognized the role of the cell nucleus during inheritance and chromosome reduction during meiosis.
In 1876, he found that fertilization includes the penetration of a spermatozoon into an egg cell.
He thought, correctly, that the vectors of hereditary traits resided in the nuclei of the egg and sperm.
His work on the development of sea urchin eggs was fundamental and lasting; his work on evolution was not.
He was opposed to 'chance', as he thought was Charles Darwin's theory.
He wrote: Das Werden der Organismen, eine Widerlegung der Darwinschen Zufallslehre (Jena, 1916) (translation: "The Origin of Organisms: a refutation of Darwin's theory of chance").

Igersheim is a city in Germany.
It is between Heilbronn and Würzburg in Baden-Württemberg.
Making use of dyes he was able to find a structure which he named chromatin.
He identified that chromatin was correlated to threadlike structures in the cell nucleus– the chromosomes (meaning coloured body).
Edouard Van Beneden (1846–1910) had also observed them, independently.
Flemming investigated the process of cell division and the distribution of chromosomes to the daughter nuclei, a process he called mitosis from the Greek word for thread.
He studied mitosis, both in life and in stained preparations, using as the source of biological material the fins and gills of salamanders.
These results were published first in 1878  and in 1882 in the seminal book Zellsubstanz, Kern und Zelltheilung (1882; Cell substance, nucleus and cell division).
On the basis of his discoveries, Flemming surmised for the first time that all cell nuclei came from another predecessor nucleus (he coined the phrase omnis nucleus e nucleo, after Virchow's omnis cellula e cellula).
Flemming was unaware of Gregor Mendel's (1822–1884) work on heredity, so he did not make the connection between his observations and genetic inheritance.
Two decades would pass before the significance of Flemming's work was truly realized with the rediscovery of Mendel's rules.
His discovery of mitosis and chromosomes is considered one of the 100 most important scientific discoveries of all times, and one of the 10 most important discoveries in cell biology.
In 1868 he taught at the University of Warsaw.
In 1869 Strasburger was appointed professor of botany at the University of Jena.
After 1881 he was head of the Botanisches Institut at the University of Bonn.
Strasburger was a founder of the famous Lehrbuch der Botanik für Hochschulen (Textbook of Botany), which first appeared in 1894.
He was the first to provide an accurate description of the embryonic sac in gymnosperms (such as conifers) and angiosperms (flowering plants), along with demonstrating double-fertilization in angiosperms.
He came up with one of the modern laws of plant cytology: "New cell nuclei can only arise from the division of other nuclei", and originated the terms cytoplasm and nucleoplasm.
At about the same time as Walther Flemming, and Edouard van Beneden, he worked out chromosome movement during mitosis in plant cells.
His work on the upward movement of tree sap proved that the process was physical and not physiological.

Edouard Joseph Marie Van Beneden (Leuven, 5 March 1846 – Liège, 28 April 1910), cytologist and marine biologist.
He was professor of zoology at the University of Liège.
He contributed to cytology and genetics by his work on the roundworm Ascaris.
In this work he discovered how chromosomes combined during meiosis, during the production of gametes.
Beneden discovered, with Walther Flemming and Eduard Strasburger, the essential facts of mitosis.
In contrast to meiosis, the double (diploid) set of chromosomes in daughter cells is identical to those in the parent cells.
Excepting rare accidents, there is no change in the genetic apparatus.
In meiosis, only one set of chromosomes ends up in each gamete, a condition called haploid.
Van Beneden's father was also a well-known biologist.
Pierre-Joseph van Beneden (18091894) introduced two important terms into evolutionary biology and ecology: mutualism and commensalism.

Ascaris is a genus of parasitic nematode worms known as the "giant intestinal roundworms".
One species, A. suum, typically infects pigs, while another, A. lumbricoides, affects humans, typically in sub-tropical and tropical areas with poor sanitation.
A. lumbricoides is the largest intestinal roundworm and is the most common worm infection of humans, an infection known as ascariasis.
Infestation can cause morbidity, and sometimes death, by compromising nutritional status, affecting cognitive processes, inducing tissue reactions, such as granuloma, and provoking intestinal obstruction or rectal prolapse.
The roundworms are members of the phylum Nematoda.
They are an extremely successful group; it is estimated that they represent 90% of all life on the seafloor.
Free were an English rock band.
The band started in London, England in 1968.
They are best known for their famous song called "All Right Now".
When the band ended the singer, Paul Rodgers, went on to form the band Bad Company.
The lead guitarist of Free was named Paul Kossoff.
In 1976 he died from a drug-induced heart failure.
He was only 25 years old.
Bacardi is a spirits company that was founded February 4, 1862 in Cuba.
It is named after the founder Facundo Bacardí, a wine merchant.
Facundo use to filter the rum through charcoal, which removed impurities.
In addition to this, He aged the rum in oak barrels, which had the effect of "mellowing" the drink.

Genetic linkage occurs when alleles at different loci do not segregate at random.
Mendel's second law is thus broken.
Genes are linked when they are on the same chromosome.
They then tend to stay together during meiosis.
Alleles for genes on different chromosomes are usually not linked, due to independent assortment of chromosomes during meiosis.
There is some crossing over of DNA during meiosis when the chromosomes segregate.
So, alleles on the same chromosome can be separated and go to different daughter cells.
There is a greater probability of this happening if the alleles are far apart on the chromosome, as it is more likely that a cross-over will occur between them.
The relative distance between two genes can be calculated using the offspring of an organism showing two linked genetic traits.
The percentage of offspring where the two traits do not run together is noted.
The higher the percentage of offspring showing both traits, the closer on the chromosome the two genes are.
This was the first technique used for mapping genes on chromosomes.
By working out the number of recombinants it is possible to obtain a measure for the distance between the genes.
This distance is called a genetic map unit (m.u.),
or a centimorgan and is defined as the distance between genes for which one product of meiosis in 100 is recombinant.
A recombinant frequency (RF) of 1 % is equivalent to 1 m.u.
A linkage map is created by finding the map distances between a number of traits that are present on the same chromosome, ideally avoiding significant gaps between traits to avoid the possibility of multiple crossovers.
Barthélemy Charles Joseph Dumortier (Tournai, 3 April 1797 – 1878) was a Belgian botanist and politician.
Some consider him to be the true discoverer of cell division, although he is rarely credited as such.
His 1832 paper deals with this topic.

Edmund "Eddie" Irvine, Jr. (Born 10 November 1965, Newtownards, County Down) is a former racing driver from Northern Ireland.
He raced under a British Driving License.
Irvine spent time in the 1980s and early 1990's in Formula Ford and F3000.
He joined Formula One in 1993, scoring a point on his debut as he replaced Emanuele Naspetti.
He stayed on for Jordan in 1994 and 1995, before going on to drive for Scuderia Ferrari in 1996.
His results were not as successful as Michael Schumacher's, including eight straight DNF's (Did not Finish) in a row in 1996.
He eventually improved, scoring more podiums as he went along with the team.
In 1999 Michael Schumacher, the "#1 driver" for Ferrari was injured during a race at Silverstone.
Irvine was made the #1 driver.
The team put all their efforts towards Irvine winning a driver's championship.
It wasn't successful, but Irvine did place second in the championship.
Irvine left Ferrari after that season because he was frustrated with Ferrari's policy on team orders, which meant that one driver was labelled as "being #1."
So, Irvine joined the new Jaguar Racing team in 2000, where he finally became the lead driver.
However, the car was not competitive and reliable, so Jaguar, despite having lots of experience with Irvine, had little results.
Irvine obtained the only two podiums Jaguar would ever see, and Irvine retired from Formula One after 2002.
For ten years he worked in Breslau (now Wroclaw), becoming director of his own Institute of Embryology in 1879.
He was professor at Innsbruck, Austria from 1889–95, then accepted a professorial chair at the Anatomical Institute of the University of Halle, a post he retained until 1921.
Roux's research was based upon the notion of Entwicklungsmechanik or developmental mechanics.
Roux's investigations were performed mainly on frogs' eggs to research the earliest structures in amphibian development.
In 1888, Roux published the results of a series of defect experiments in which he took 2 and 4 cell frog embryos and killed half of the cells of each embryo with a hot needle.
He reported that they grew into half-embryos and surmised that the separate function of the two cells had already been determined.
This led him to propose his "mosaic" theory: after a few cell divisions the embryo would be like a mosaic, each cell playing its own unique part in the entire design.
After a few years Roux's theory was refuted by the studies of his colleague Hans Driesch and later, with more precision, Hans Spemann showed that, as a rule, Driesch's conclusions were correct, but that results like Roux's may be obtained after intervention in certain planes.
Despite this early lapse Roux's pioneering mechanical methodology was to prove most fruitful in 20th century biology.
In a remarkable paper, Roux realised the significance of the linear structure of chromosomes.
Their splitting into two equal longitudinal halves assured each daughter cell got the same chromosome complement.
This was a significant event in cytogenetics.
