The 2004 Pacific hurricane season officially started May 15, 2004 in the eastern Pacific, and June 1, 2004 in the central Pacific, and lasted until November 30, 2004.
Hurricane Darby
Tropical Depression Five-E formed south of Mexico on July 26.
Later that day, it was upgraded to Tropical Storm Darby, and only four hours later, at 2 am (0900 UTC) on July 27, is upgraded to Hurricane Darby.
It moved due west at this point, aiming directly for the big island of Hawaii.
It reached Category 3 strength on July 29, the first major hurricane in the northeastern Pacific basin since 2002.
However, long before it reached Hawaii, it lost strength and dissipated on the evening of July 31.
Hurricane Howard
Tropical Depression Eleven_E formed from a tropical wave about 400 mi.
southwest of Acapulco, Mexico and headed northwest, steadily strengthening as it did so.
Howard peaked briefly as a Category 4 and then started to weaken.
By the time Howard reached a point off the coast of the Baja peninsula, it was only a tropical storm.
Howard weakened further, becoming a tropical depression on September 5 and degenerated into a remnant low later that day.
The low hooked around and headed southwest.
Howard dissipated on September 10 without making landfall.
Hurricane Javier
Tropical Depression Thirteen-E formed out of an area of low pressure south-southeast of the Gulf of Tehuantepec on September 10.
It slowly moved northwest, being designated Tropical Storm Javier on the morning of September 11.
It was upgraded to a hurricane on the afternoon of September 12, and peaked at Category 4 strength on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale after rapidly strengthening on September 13.
Warnings began to be issued on September 15 for Baja California.
While Javier peaked at Category 4, with windspeeds of 150 mph (240 km/h), it weakened dramatically before striking land south of San Ignacio in Baja Sur as only a tropical depression.
Its remnants continued over Baja and inland.
Tropical Storm Lester
An area of tropical disturbance centered about 90 miles (150 km) south-southwest of Puerto Angel, Mexico, developed into Tropical Depression Fifteen-E on the afternoon of October 11.
Due to its proximity, attention was immediately paid to it, and Mexico began issuing watches early the next day.
With the 2 pm PDT (2100 UTC) update on October 12, it was upgraded to a tropical storm and named Lester.
It sat mainly stationary just off the coast of Mexico, spending most of October 13 only 25 miles (40 km) west of Acapulco.
In the afternoon, it became clear that Lester was falling apart, and with the 2 pm update, even though it was still close to shore, it was downgraded to a tropical depression and advisories ended as it rapidly disintegrated.

In Major League Baseball, the American League Championship Series (ALCS), played in October, is a playoff round that decides the winner of the American League pennant.
The winner of the series moves on to play the winner of the National League Championship Series in baseball's championship, the World Series.
It is a "best-of-seven" series, meaning the first team to win four games
In 1969, MLB expanded the leagues to two divisions.
As a result, the League Championship Series was implemented.
Originally, it was a best-of-five series, meaning a team had to win three games to advance to the World Series.
In 1985, the LCS was expanded to a best-of-seven format.

In astronomy, stellar classification is a way of grouping stars by temperature.
Star temperature can be measured by looking at its spectrum, the type of light that the star shines.
Stars are also grouped into spectral types or classes by color.
In general, a star's temperature determines its color, from red to blue-white.
Spectral types are named with a letter.
The seven main types are M, K, G, F, A, B and O. M stars are the coldest stars and O stars are the hottest.
The full system contains other types that are hard to find: W, R, N, and S.
Harvard spectral classification
The Harvard classification system is a one-dimensional classification scheme.
Stars vary in surface temperature from about 2,000 to 40,000 kelvin.
Physically, the classes indicate the temperature of the star's atmosphere and are normally listed from hottest to coldest, as is done in the following table:
Note: The conventional color description describe only the peak of the stellar spectrum.
However, the actual apparent colors the eye sees are lighter than the conventional color descriptions.
The mass, radius, and luminosity listed for each class are appropriate only for stars on the main-sequence portion of their lives and so are not appropriate for red giants.
The spectral classes O through M are subdivided by Arabic numerals (0–9).
For example, A0 denotes the hottest stars in the A class and A9 denotes the coolest ones.
The Sun is classified as G2.
The  Hertzsprung-Russell diagram is more often used in astronomy, because it relates three important variables: the absolute magnitude, the luminosity and the surface temperature.
It is as important to astronomy as the periodic table is to chemistry.
Conventional and apparent colors
The conventional color descriptions are traditional in astronomy, and represent colors relative to the mean color of an A-class star which is considered to be white.
The apparent color descriptions are what the observer would see if trying to describe the stars under a dark sky without aid to the eye, or with binoculars.
The Sun itself is white, though it is sometimes called a yellow star.
This is a natural consequence of the evolution of human optical senses: the response curve that maximizes the overall efficiency against solar illumination will by definition perceive the Sun as white, though there is some subjective variation between observers.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is a 1937 American animated musical fantasy movie.
It was made by Walt Disney Productions and released by RKO Radio Pictures.
It is based on the German fairy tale Snow White by the Brothers Grimm.
It is the first full-length cel animated movie and the earliest in the Walt Disney Animated Classics series.
The story was adapted by storyboard artists Dorothy Ann Blank, Richard Creedon, Merrill De Maris, Otto Englander, Earl Hurd, Dick Rickard, Ted Sears and Webb Smith.
David Hand was the supervising director, while William Cottrell, Wilfred Jackson, Larry Morey, Perce Pearce, and Ben Sharpsteen directed the movie's different sequences.
Snow White was first shown at the Carthay Circle Theatre on December 21, 1937.
It was released across the United States on February 4, 1938.
With international earnings of $8 million during its initial release, the movie for a bit had the record of highest grossing sound movie at the time.
The popularity of the movie has led to it being re-released theatrically many times, until its home video release in the 1990s.
Adjusted for inflation, it is one of the top ten performers at the North American box office.
At the 11th Academy Awards, Walt Disney was awarded an honorary Oscar.
The movie was nominated for Best Musical Score.
It was added to the United States National Film Registry in 1989 and is ranked in the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films, who also named the movie as the greatest American animated movie of all time in 2008.
Disney's take on the fairytale has had a huge cultural impact, resulting in popular theme park attractions, a video game, and a Broadway musical.
An evil queen has a mirror and asks "Mirror, mirror, on the wall, who's the fairest of them all?"
The mirror answers "Snow White".
Snow White is lost in the woods, and comes across the home of seven little men, or dwarves.
She cleans their home, and they allow her to stay with them.
The queen eventually finds out that the heart in the box is of a pig so she goes and changes herself onto an old hag.
She goes to the dwarfs' cottage the next day while they're out and gets Snow White to bite into an apple with makes her fall dead.
Suddenly, the dwarfs chase the old hag up a cliff and trap her.
She tries to roll a boulder over them but lightning strikes and she dies.
Snow White is awakened by the kiss of a handsome prince.
Development on Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs began in early 1934, and in June 1934, Walt Disney announced the production of his first feature to the New York Times.
Before Snow White, the Disney studio had been mainly involved in the production of highly successful animated shorts in the Mickey Mouse and Silly Symphonies series.
Disney hoped to enlarge his studio's reputation and money by moving into features, and estimated that Snow White could be produced for a budget of $250,000 - ten times the budget of an average Silly Symphony.
Walt Disney had to fight to get the movie produced.
Both his brother Roy Disney and his wife Lillian attempted to talk him out of it, and the Hollywood movie industry mockingly referred to the movie as "Disney's Folly" while it was in production.
He even had to mortgage his house to help finance the movie's production, which eventually ran up a total cost of just over $1.5 million, a huge sum for a movie in 1937.
Adriana Caselotti as Princess Snow White: Snow White was the daughter of a great king whose wife died when the daughter was born.
Her evil stepmother forced her to work as a maid in the castle because she was afraid of Snow White one day will be fairer than her.

After the Queen disguised to a peddler and went to Snow White with a poisoned apple.
She finally eat the apple because the Queen said is a magical wishing apple.
After the death of the Queen the dwarves make for her a glass coffin.
Years later her Prince came and said good bye to her with a kiss but that kiss was the only one thing who can break the spell and Snow White turned back to life.
Said goodbye and kissed in the forehead the dwarves and pleased all of them for their help and honesty and went with the prince in his Fairytale Castle in the Clouded Heaven.
Virginia Davis, who starred in Disney's "Alice" series, was considered for the role of Snow White, but was turned down.
Deanna Durbin was also considered, but was turned down because her voice was "too mature" for the role.
Lucille La Verne as The Queen: The Queen is the stepmother of Snow White.
Once her magic mirror tells her that Snow White is fairer than she is, she tells a huntsman to kill her in the woods.
After she finds out that Snow White did not die, she disguises herself as an old hag and uses a poisoned apple in order to kill Snow White.
After she poisoned Snow White she started to run away because the dwarves were hunting her and climbed in the cliff of a mount.
In the cliff she was trying to fall a giant rock in the dwarves and kill them, when she started to laugh a big thunderbolt fell on her and broke the cliff and the Queen fell in her wild deathly fate and after the rock fell on her and threshed her bones.
Finally two wicked vultures who followed her went in her to eat her dead threshed body.

After Snow White's death he returned and gave Snow White a kiss to say to her good bye but with the kiss broke the spell and with her returned in his Great Fairytale Castle in the Clouded Heaven.
Roy Atwell as Doc: Doc is considered the pompous leader of the seven dwarfs, and is possibly the oldest.
He wears glasses and often mixes up his words.
In the mine he looks for usable diamonds.
Pinto Colvig as Grumpy: Grumpy is as his name suggests him to be.
He has the biggest nose of the seven and he automatically does not approve of Snow White for the simple fact that she is a woman.
However, though too proud to show it, deep down he cares perhaps the most for her safety.
He repeatedly warns her of the threat posed by the Queen and rushes to Snow White's rescue upon realizing that she is in danger, leading the charge himself.
Otis Harlan as Happy: Happy is the joyous and cheerful dwarf.
He is the fattest and the sweetest of the seven and is always laughing.
In the mine he digs for diamonds with Grumpy, Bashful and Sneezy.
Pinto Colvig as Sleepy: Sleepy is always tired,.
His job at the mine is to haul all the diamonds and rubies by cart to Doc for inspection.
He has the longest beard of the seven.
Usually he is annoyed by a fly, who appears as a background character.
Scotty Mattraw as Bashful: Bashful is the shyest and cutest of the dwarfs, and is therefore often embarrassed by the presence of any attention directed at him.
He frequently annoys Grumpy, though not as much as Doc.
In Walt Disney's own words, according to one of the movie's original theatrical trailers, Bashful is "secretly in love with Snow White".
Billy Gilbert as Sneezy: Sneezy's name is earned by his huge powerful sneezes, which are seen blowing objects (including his brothers) across a room.
He has the shortest beard of the seven (besides the beardless Dopey).
The cause of his sneezes is hay fever.
Eddie Collins as Dopey: Dopey is the only dwarf to have no beard at all; he is the youngest of the seven.
As his name suggests, Dopey is clumsy.
His clumsiness provides comic relief to some of the story.
He is a mute, or at any rate never speaks and does not know whether he can.
His job at the mine is to clean up all the unusable jewels and lock up the vault.
He is always seen last in line whenever the dwarfs walk to and from work.

Moroni Olsen as The Magic Mirror: The Slave of the Magic Mirror appears as a green mask in clouds of smoke.
The Queen always asks him who is the fairest in the land.
Stuart Buchanan as Humbert the Huntsman: The Huntsman is a kind-hearted person who cannot bear to kill Snow White, even when the Queen orders him to take the princess's heart.
Unvoiced characters include Snow White's animal friends, the Queen's raven, and the vultures who follow the Witch.
However, although the animals did not have human speaking voices, their natural calls were very lifelike, and were all voiced by champion whistler and animal mimic A. Purves Pullen, who would provide bird and animal calls for Disney movies (including numerous Pluto cartoons) for several decades.
Pullen also produced the bird calls for the Enchanted Tiki Room attractions at Disney theme parks.
During the 1940s and 1950s, he performed as "Dr. Horatio Q. Birdbath" with the
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was first shown in cinemas on December 21, 1937.

In fact, for a short time, Snow White was the highest-grossing movie in American cinema history, until it was beat by Gone with the Wind in 1939.
When taking inflation into account, and including rereleases, the movie still remains one of the top ten American movie moneymakers of all time.
Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length animated feature movie made in English and Technicolor (not counting the Academy Award Review of Walt Disney Cartoons), and won an Academy Award for Walt Disney as a huge movie which has charmed millions and started a great new form of entertainment.

Captain Jack Harkness is a fictional character in the British television series Doctor Who and Torchwood.
He is played by actor John Barrowman.
He was first in Doctor Who in the 2005 episode "The Empty Child" and is in the show throughout the rest of the 2005 series as a companion of the Ninth Doctor.
Jack later becomes the main character in Torchwood, an adult-themed spin-off of Doctor Who.
He comes back into Doctor Who in the 2007 series and he meets the Tenth Doctor, and returned again for the 2008 series.
Jack is a time traveller and former conman from the 51st century.
A bisexual.
In contrast to the wiser and older Doctor, Jack prefers a hands-on solution to the problem at hand.
As a consequence of his death and being brought back in the last episode of the 2005 series of Doctor Who, the character becomes immortal, which does not change during both Doctor Who and Torchwood.
In naming the character, executive producer and head writer Russell T Davies got inspiration from the Marvel Comics character Agatha Harkness, Jack's original appearances in Doctor Who were thought of with the intention of forming a character arc in which Jack is changed from a coward to a hero, and John Barrowman consciously minded this in his portrayal of the character.
Following on that arc, the character's debut episode would leave his morality as ambiguous, publicity materials asking, "Is he a force for good or ill?"
The character is described as both "lethally charming... good looking and utterly captivating", as well as "flirtatious, cunning, clever and a bit of an action man".
Within Doctor Who, Jack's personality is  light-hearted, although this changes in Torchwood's first series, where he becomes a darker character.
In Torchwood Series 1, Jack has been shaped by his ongoing search for the Doctor and also by his role as a leader, in which he is predominantly more aloof.
During The second series of Torchwood, Jack became a much more light-hearted character once again, after appearances in Doctor Who where he was reunited with the Doctor.
From the Torchwood onwards, Harkness wears period military clothes from the second World War, including braces and an officer's wool greatcoat in every appearance.
Costume designer Ray Holman comments that "We always wanted to keep the World War Two hero look for him, so all his outfits have a 1940s flavor.
We knew he'd be running around a lot, so I redesigned his RAF Group Captain's greatcoat from Doctor Who to make it more fluid, because the real things are very weighty... The rest of Jack's costumes are loosely wartime based, so he has big wartime trousers which are getting more and more styled to suit his figure.
There are actually five Captain Jack coats used on the show - one hero version which is used for most scenes, one wetcoat made with a pre-shrunk fabric, a running coat which is slightly shorter so John's heels do not catch when he runs and two stunt coats - which were 'hero coats' back in Series 1."
Discussing whether his character could ever find a soulmate, John Barrowman refutes that Jack "likes everybody, and his love for each person is different".
He believes that Jack does harbour romantic feelings toward the Doctor, but "would never take that beyond infatuation" and "would never let the Doctor know".
Barrowman describes Jack's love for Ianto as "lustful", and if he ever were to settle down with him, he would "let Ianto know that he [Jack] has to play around on the side".
John Barrowman and Gareth David-Lloyd have also opined that Jack's relationship with Ianto has however brought out Jack's empathy, and helped to ground him.
In contrast, if he settled down with Gwen, "he'd have to commit completely" to her; this is why he does not act on his feelings for her, because even though she would let him flirt with other people, he could "never afford to do anything more Eve Myles, who portrays Gwen, describes theirs as a "palpable love" and opines that "with Jack and Gwen, it’s the real thing and they’re going to make you wait for that."
Torchwood Series Two sees Jack promise both Gwen and Ianto that they were the reason he returned to Cardiff.
Barrowman claims that Jack also "fancies" fellow companion Martha Jones, admiring her "tenacity" and willingness to "spat with him", and describes Jack's love for Toshiko and Owen as "fatherly", stating "He was guiding them.
That's why it was so devastating for him to lose them."
Offering reasons why Jack could never find "The One", Barrowman brings up the character's immortality. "
He always loses them.
He outlives them.
He watches them get old.
That bothered him in Series One [of Torchwood], but now he's come to terms with that, I think... so now he just sleeps around!"
In several instances in Torchwood, Jack displays no problems with killing a person of any species, which within Doctor Who, allows Jack's character to act in ways the lead character cannot.
When reuniting with the Doctor in the 2007 series, he is verbally warned "don't you dare" when pointing a gun.
Witnessing the murder of his colleague Owen, Jack shoots his killer in the forehead, killing him in an act of quick revenge.
Whilst the Doctor scorns Jack  for joining the Torchwood Institute (an organisation he perceives as xenophobic and aggressive), Jack maintains that he reformed the Institute in the Doctor's image; Jack himself had initially been critical of the moral failings of a 19th-century Torchwood.

A tropical depression formed on July 7 and organized into the sixth tropical storm of the season the next day.
Initially heading west-northwest, it changed direction to almost due west shortly after reaching Category 4 intensity on July 11.
After spending over a day at that intensity, Fico decayed and fell back down to a mid-range Category 1 on July 14.
Fico then reintensified back to Category 4 strength the next day.
The hurricane's strength fluctuated, but Fico stayed a major hurricane until July 17, when it entered the central Pacific as a Category 1.
It slowly intensified and became a major hurricane yet again on the 21st.
At this point, Fico turned to the northwest and slowly lost strength.
The storm dropped to a tropical storm early on July 28, and went extratropical later that day.
At a later date, the remnants were enmeshed in a frontal system which headed towards the Aleutian Islands.
Fico was a tropical cyclone for 20 days, and travelled a distance of roughly 5500 mi (9000 km), both of which were records.
It was also a hurricane for 17 consecutive days.
Both of Fico's records have been broken.
Hurricane Tina and then Hurricane John outlasted Fico.
John also outran its distance record.
Fico never made landfall.
Despite this, it pounded the Big Island with 15-30 foot waves doing "considerable damage"  to roads and buildings along the coast.
Smaller waves also broke on the southern shores of Maui with minimal effects.
Six people aboard a sloop were washed overboard and rescued, while a tugboat was driven aground on a reef at Kukuiula.
A weakening Fico also caused a sharp wind gradient, producing gusty gale-force winds that blew across the islands, knocking over trees and causing power outages.
Fico's extratropical remnants caused heavy rains and gales south of Cold Bay in the Aleutians.

Bayinnaung Kyawhtin Nawrahta (Burmese: ဘုရင့်နောင် ကျော်ထင်နော်ရထာ, ; 16 January 1516 – 9 November 1581) was the third king of the Toungoo dynasty of Burma (Myanmar).
He was king for 30 years.
This time has been called the "greatest explosion of human energy ever seen in Burma".
As king, Bayinnaung created the largest empire in the history of Southeast Asia.
This empire included much of Burma, Manipur, Chinese Shan States (southern Yunnan), Lan Na (northern Thailand), Siam (central and southern Thailand) and Lan Xang (Laos and northeastern Thailand).
Bayinnaung's made the Shan States part of the Burmese kingdoms.
This removed the threat of Shan raids into Upper Burma.
This had been a concern to Upper Burma since the late 13th century.
The kink took control of the Shan States in 1557.
He put in an administrative system that took away much of the power of the Shan saophas (chiefs).
The also made changes to some of their customs to make them similar to other customs in the kingdoms.
His policy for dealing with the Shan was used by all Burmese kings until the kingdom was taken control of by the British in 1885.
He could not use this policy everywhere in his very large empire.
His empire was a group of former sovereign kingdoms.
The kings of each of the kingdoms were loyal to him.
He was the Cakravartin (Universal Ruler).
They were not loyal to the kingdom itself.
Siam left the kingdom three years after of his death in 1584.
By 1599, all the sub-kingdoms had left.
Bayinnaung's empire had ended.
He is thought to be one of the three best Burmese kings.
The other two are Anawrahta and Alaungpaya.
Many well known places in modern Myanmar are named after him.
He is also well known in Thailand because of a popular song and book.
Both are called "Phu Chana Sip Thit".
The name means "the Conqueror of Ten Directions."

Transformers is a 2007 live-action American movie adaptation of the Transformers franchise, directed by Michael Bay and written by Roberto Orci and Alex Kurtzman.
It stars Shia LaBeouf as Sam Witwicky.
This movie has a sequel, Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.
the Decepticons, an evil race of alien robots, attack a U.S. military unit stationed in the Middle East.
The men launch an immediate offensive—but meanwhile, back in the States, Secretary of Defense John Keller (Jon Voight) learns of a secret U.S. project involving Megatron (voiced by Hugo Weaving), a bad robot that crash-landed in the Arctic  In the film's civilian side-story, teenager Sam (Shia LaBeouf) buys a used car, unaware it's an Autobot—a good robot.
Neither does Sam realize that he has in his possession the key to the all-powerful cube—which all the robots, good and bad, desperately want.
The film's many characters and plots collide with the help of the Autobots' courageous, red-and-blue-colored leader Optimus Prime (Peter Cullen).

Tropical Storm Ana was the only tropical cyclone on record in the Atlantic Ocean in the month of April.
Ana was the first tropical storm of the 2003 Atlantic hurricane season.
Tropical Storm Ana was two kinds of storms, a subtropical cyclone, and a tropical cyclone.
It formed as a subtropical cyclone on April 20, while it was to the west of Bermuda.
It moved towards the east-southeast and began to get better organized.
On April 21, the subtropical cyclone became a tropical cyclone.
Tropical Storm Ana then turned towards the east-northeast.
It quickly lost strength because of wind shear and a close cold front.
On April 24, Ana became an extratropical cyclone.
The storm moved near Bermuda, while causing light rainfall.
The remnants of the storm also dropped rain in the Azores and the United Kingdom.
Stormy sea waters caused by the storm capsized a boat near Florida coastline.
The incident killed two people.
Meteorological history
A low pressure area formed to the south, and southwest, of Bermuda on April 18.
A trough, which is a type of weather system, brought an area of clouds into the low pressure system.
The low pressure system moved towards the north.
After turning towards the northwest, the weather system looped southeastward.
Thunderstorm activity became stronger near the center of the cyclone.
The storm was named Subtropical Storm Ana on April 20, while located about 250 miles (400 km) west of Bermuda.
The subtropical storm moved to the east-southeastward and it continued to get stronger.
It is estimated that Ana became a tropical storm by 0000 UTC on April 21.
When it became a tropical cyclone, Ana reached its highest winds of 60 mph (95 km/h).
Shortly after, Ana came close to Bermuda.
Strong wind shear began to remove a lot of the thunderstorm activity from Ana.
Ana continued to move  eastward, and early on April 22, the wind shear again removed the thunderstorms from the center of the storm.
After turning towards the northeast, the core of Ana merged with a cold front on April 24.
Because of t his, Tropical Storm Ana turned into an extratropical cyclone.
The remnants of the cyclone sped towards the east-northeastward, before it died out on April 27.
Impact, records, and naming
Before Ana was formed, the government of Bermuda declared a gale warning for the island.
When Ana formed, a tropical storm warning was also issued for Bermuda.
The storm moved close to Bermuda and dropped 2.63 inches (67 mm) of rainfall the Bermuda International Airport.
The winds on the island were light.
Stormy seas from the storm reached the coast of Florida in the United States.
A couple of factors, which included the stormy seas, caused a boat to capsize in Jupiter Inlet.
Two people on the ship drowned, and the others were rescued.
The remnants of Ana dropped 0.87 inches (22 mm) of rainfall in the city of Ponta Delgada in the Azores.
Clouds from the remnants of Ana also caused rain in the United Kingdom.
Two ships experienced tropical storm force winds because of Ana.
Ana was the second subtropical cyclone on record in the Atlantic basin in the month of April.
When the storm became a tropical cyclone, it was also the first Atlantic tropical storm in the month of April.
Because the damage from Ana was not bad, the name "Ana" was not retired by the World Meteorological Organization.
The name Ana was used again in 2009.

The Hymenoptera is one of the larger orders of insect.
It includes the wasps, bees, ants and sawflies.
There are over 130,000 recognised species, with many more remaining to be described.
The name is derived from the Greek words hymen meaning 'membrane' and ptera meaning 'wings.
The hindwings are connected to the forewings by a series of hooks called hamuli.
Females typically have a special ovipositor for inserting eggs into hosts or otherwise inaccessible places.
The ovipositor is often modified into a stinger.
The young develop through complete metamorphosis — that is, they have a worm-like larval stage and an inactive pupal stage before they mature (See holometabolism).
Sub-order Symphyta
These are the sawflies, the most primitive Hymenoptera.
Their adults do not have a narrow 'waist' between the thorax and abdomen.
The female's ovipositor is adapted to burrowing or sawing into the substrate, usually plant tissue.
Sub-order Apocrita
These, the bees, wasps and ants, have a 'waist' between the thorax and abdomen.
They are by far the most numerous Hymenoptera, and include the famous groups of colonial insects.
In fact, the group with the most species is not colonial; it is the vast number of parasitoid wasps, such as the Ichneumons.
Hymenoptera originated in the Triassic: the oldest fossils belong to the Sawfly family Xyelidae.
Social hymenopterans appeared during the Cretaceous.
Syrian Americans are citizens of the United States of Syrian ancestry or nationality.
This ethnic group includes first generation immigrants, and descendants of Syrians who immigrated to the United States.
It is believed that Syrians first arrived in the United States in large number in 1880.
Many of the earliest Syrian Americans settled in New York, Boston, and Detroit.
Immigration from Syria to the United States was stopped for a long time after the United States Congress passed the Immigration Act of 1924, which made it difficult.
More than forty years later, the Immigration Act of 1965, removed the quotas and immigration from Syria to the United States increased very much.
It is estimated that 64,600 Syrians immigrated to the United States between 1961 and 2000.
Most of the Syrian immigrants to the US from 1880 to 1960 were Christian; a small minority were Jewish, Muslim Syrians arrived in the United States mostly after 1965.
According to the United States 2000 Census, there were 142,897 Americans of Syrian ancestry, about 12% of the Arab population in the United States.
It is believed that the first Syrian immigrants arrived in the United States from Greater Syria in the 1880s and worked as peddlers, selling linen and other similar types of goods.
Before 1920, the area now known as Syria was actually part of Greater Syria, an area which included the four modern countries of Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Syria itself.
Most immigrants from the region were classified as "Syrian," even though they were not ethnic Syrian; some were even registered as Syrian Turks as Syria was under Ottoman rule for 400 years.
This makes difficulties in trying to work out how many Syrians arrived in the early years.
Most of the early Syrian immigrants came from Christian villages around Mount Lebanon.
According to historian Philip Hitti, approximately 90,000 "Syrians" arrived in the United States between 1899 and 1919.
An estimated 1,000 official entries per year came from the governorates of Damascus and Aleppo, which are governorates in modern-day Syria, in the period between 1900 and 1916.
Early immigrants settled mainly in northeastern United States, in the cities of New York City, Boston and Detroit and the Paterson, New Jersey area.
According to the United States 2000 Census, there are 142,897 Americans of Syrian ancestry living in the United States.
New York City has the biggest concentration of Syrian Americans in the United States.
Other urban areas, including Boston, Dearborn, New Orleans, Toledo, Cedar Rapids, and Houston have large Syrian populations.
Syrian Americans are also numerous in Southern California (i.e. the Los Angeles and San Diego areas) and Arizona.
Pre-1965
The first Syrian immigrants to the United States wore traditional clothing, this along with the fact that they tended to work as peddlers, led to some xenophobia.
Dr. A. J. McLaughlin, the United States health officer at Marine Hospital, described Syrians as "parasites in their peddling habits."
U.S. authorities claimed that Syrians had no right to become naturalized because they were Asian and did not belong to the white race.
However, Syrians reacted quickly to assimilate fully into their new culture.
Immigrants Anglicized their names, adopted the English language and common Christian denominations.
Syrians did not stay together in urban areas; many of the immigrants who had worked as peddlers were in contact with Americans on a daily basis.
This helped them to absorb and learn the language and customs of their new homeland.
Also military service during World War I and World War II helped assimilation.
Assimilation of early Syrian immigrants was so successful that it has become difficult to recognize the ancestors of many families which have become completely Americanized.
After 1965
After 1965 Immigration was mostly Muslim, and unlike their Christian counterparts they found it a bit harder assimilating because of their Islamic faith and the anti-assimilationist trend in America of the 1960s and 1970s.
Also they are fond of their identity as Arabs, which might be a result of the bloom in multiculturalism to respect their Islamic religious customs and traditions in the United States.
Syrians are mainly Arabic speakers.
While some may speak the formal literary Arabic, many Syrians speak Syrian Arabic, a dialect which belongs to the Levantine Arabic family of dialects.
There are also sub-dialects in Syrian Arabic; for example, people from Aleppo have a distinct accent, one that differs considerably from that of people from Homs or Al-Hasakah.
Syrians can usually understand the dialects of most Arabs, especially those who speak any form of Levantine Arabic.
Many old Syrian American families no longer speak Arabic because many parents do not teach their children Arabic.
Newer immigrants, however, maintain their language traditions.
The 2000 census shows that 79.9% of Syrian Americans speak English "very well".
Throughout the United States, there are schools which offer Arabic language classes; there are also some Eastern Orthodox churches which hold Arabic services.
Also to note Syria and Lebanon were briefly under French rule between 1918 and 1943 when they obtained independence, so many Syrian Americans are familiar with the French language.

The dipole antenna is one of the most important and commonly used type of radio antenna.
It is widely used on its own.
It is also used in many other radio antenna designs where it forms the radiating or driven element for the antenna.
Basic facts dipole antenna
The dipole antenna is made of two poles into which radio frequency current flows.
This current and the voltage causes an electromagnetic or radio signal to be radiated.
Being more specific, a dipole is usually an antenna that uses a resonant length of conductor.
This conductor is cut so it can be connected to the what is sending the signal.
For resonance, the length of the conductor is an odd number of half wavelengths long.
In most cases a single half-wavelength is used.
Length of a dipole antenna
The length of a dipole is very important for selecting the frequency that the antenna will work at.
The antenna is an electrical half wavelength, or multiple of half wavelengths.
This is not the same length as the wavelength for a signal travelling through air.
This means that an antenna will be a small amount shorter than the length calculated for a wave moving in air.
For a half wave dipole, the length for a wave moving in air is calculated.
This number is multiplied by a factor "A".
A is normally between 0.96 and 0.98.
It is affected by the ratio of the length of the antenna to the thickness of the wire or tube used poles.
Uses of dipole antennas
Dipole antennas are used for many different things.
These include television antennas (commonly referred to as "rabbit ears"), shortwave radio antennas and whip antennas.
An analog signal processor is used to quickly process signals that can be too complex to handle any other way.
A comparator is used to offer level triggers correct down to microvolts with reaction times in the picoseconds.
Analog filters offer anti-aliasing in sampled value systems as inputs and outputs, and can be used as pre-filters in audio and communications.
Analog multipliers and dividers are used to offer brief gain control, radiometric function, or continuous energy measurement, with surprising accuracy.
Over-voltage protection applications can protect the front-end of analog transmission/receiver systems, multiplexers.
Amplification and filtering for noise removal are the main feature of analog signal processing.
