Puffins are sea birds that can fly and swim.
These squat birds live in the cold sea of the northern Arctic Ocean.
In the breeding season they move to the coast, where they dig burrows on cliffs and make a nest in the burrow.
Puffins have thick, waterproof feathers that protect them from the cold.
They have webbed feet that help them swim.
They hunt for fish underwater and can hold several fish in their large beaks.
Their beak is triangular when seen from the side and narrow when viewed from the front.
In breeding season, the beak becomes brightly colored.
In the air, they beat their relatively small wings very fast (up to 400 times in a minute).

The Quickstep is an International Style ballroom dance that follows a 4/4  time beat, at about 50 bars per minute.p62 From its early beginning as a faster Foxtrot, the Quickstep has become quite different.
It is danced to the fastest tempo of the ballroom dances.
The Quickstep developed in the 1920s from a combination of the Foxtrot, the Charleston, and other dances.
The dance is English in origin, and was standardized in 1927.
Although it came from the Foxtrot, the Quickstep now is quite separate.
Unlike the modern Foxtrot, the feet often close and syncopated (split-beat) steps occur often.
Three characteristic dance figures of the Quickstep are the chassés, where the feet come together, the quarter turns, and the lock step.p126
This dance became a very dynamic one with a lot of movement on the dance floor, with many advanced patterns including hops, runs, quick steps with a lot of momentum, and rotation.
The tempo of Quickstep dance is rather brisk as it was developed to ragtime era jazz music which was fast-paced compared to other dance music.
Today the complexity of Quickstep as done by competition dancers has increased.
They use more syncopated steps.
While in older times quickstep patterns were counted with "quick" (one beat) and "slow" (two beats) steps, many advanced patterns today are cued with split beats, such as "quick-and-quick-and-quick, quick, slow", with there being further steps on the 'and's.

The Waltz is one of the five international ballroom dances in the Modern or Standard style.
It is danced socially, and in ballroom competitions.
Like its older brother, the Viennese waltz, this dance originated in Vienna, but was greatly modified by English dance teachers in the 1920s.
That is why it is sometimes called the English waltz.
Other names are the diagonal waltz, the international waltz, and the slow waltz.
Music for the waltz should be in 3/4 time, and played at 29 to 34 bars per minute.p62 The accent is on the first beat of each bar.
For beginners it is a simple dance compared to some others.
At competitive level it is much more demanding.
It features whisks, chassés, spins, hesitations, drags, and split-beat steps, many of which have been copied in other dances.
The first 'advanced' figure to be invented was the double reverse spin, by Maxwell Stewart in the 1924 World Championship.p42 Nowadays it is taught at the silver medal stage.

Tracking is the method of placing students according to their ability level in homogeneous classes or learning experiences.
Students of different abilities (low, middle, and high) are assigned to different "tracks" of courses and programs (vocational, general, college-bound, honors, and AP).
Tracking is the term given to this process, and while some teachers believe that tracking makes instruction more manageable, others believe that it is a terribly flawed system.
Once a student is placed, it may be very difficult to move up from one track to another.
The placements may reflect racism, classism, or sexism.
Many educators charge that the United States relies more on tracking than any other nation in the world.
Most schools today work hard to avoid using the term "tracking."
Middle and high schools are taking their cue from elementary schools, where "ability grouping" has been in favor.
Ability grouping sorts students based on capability, but the groupings may well vary by subject.
While tracks suggest permanence, ability grouping is more transitory.
One year, a student might find herself in a high-ability math group and a low-ability English group.
The following year, that same student might be reassigned to a new set of groups.
School tracking is a reality functioning under an assumed identity called ability grouping.
Besides tracking, another way to deal with diversity is to integrate students of different ability levels together in small working groups.
Cooperative learning gives students a sense of pride for both their individual performance and that of the group.
The students begin to take responsibility for their learning rather than on the teacher.
Cooperative learning allows higher achievement in many students and has eased tensions in multicultural classrooms as students learn to work together.

Monsieur Pierre, or simply Pierre, was the professional name of Pierre Jean Phillipe Zurcher-Margolle, (born Toulon, France – London, 1963).
Pierre was a professional dancer and dance teacher; he was a Fellow, Examiner and committee member of the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD) and a Member of the Official Board of Ballroom Dancing (OBBD).
Pierre was the main person responsible for introducing the Latin American dances to England.
He set them up for use in competitions and in social dance.
The system he and his colleagues developed became the basis for all Latin American competitions held under the World Dance Council (WDC).
After World War I ended in 1918 he started on a career as a professional ballroom dancer in London.
Although he spent the rest of his life resident in London, Pierre never gave up his French citizenship.
Latin dance in England
The rhythms which make Latin American dance popular were brought to Britain between the two World Wars.
Pierre was already an accomplished dancer and teacher in the English ballroom style.
In Latin dances, his repertoire first consisted of the Argentine tango, the Paso doble and the Samba.
"The tango was always his speciality in demonstrations and as a result many teachers were attracted to it and first learnt it from him".
"Pierre had been a celebrated exponent and teacher of tango.
He had established a reputation as the leading specialist for all Latin dances".
By the 1930s Pierre had moved more towards the Latin American dances, and in 1934 his full-page trade adverts featured the rumba.
The studio stayed open all through World War II, and was a popular meeting place for the Free French fighters on leave in London.
Pierre's studio always played authentic music for its LA dance instruction.
The rumba arrives in London
Originally, Pierre had visited Paris to find out how their dancers and teachers dealt with the rumba.
But after the war, in 1947, Pierre visited Cuba, where he discovered to his surprise that the Cubans danced it differently.
When he was there, he danced at the acadamias every night.
After this he returned to London determined to teach the Cuban rumba, sistema cubano.
To this end, Pierre wrote the first account of his ideas on the rumba as a dance.
One of the characteristics of Cuban dance to the Son, and other similar rhythms, was, and still is, their method of taking three steps to four beats of music (whether 2/4 or 4/4).
The Cuban rumba figure starts on beat 2, counting (pause) 2, 3, 4-1 as (pause) quick, quick, slow with the hip settling over the standing foot on 4-1.
All social dances in Cuba involve a hip-sway over the standing leg and, though this is scarcely noticeable in fast salsa, it is more pronounced in the slow ballroom rumba.
In general, steps are kept compact and the dance is without any rise and fall.
The argument in favour of this method was authenticity, and also satisfaction at the dance effect the Cuban style achieved.
The Latin and American section of the ISTD Ballroom Branch was formed in 1947 by Monsieur Pierre as Chairman.
The syllabus finally agreed in 1955 has been the foundation of teaching and competition in the Latin American dances ever since.
This work naturally included the Samba, Paso doble and Jive as well.
After further visits to Cuba in the early 1950s, when Doris Lavelle and James Arnell accompanied Pierre, the Cha-cha-cha was added to make the five Latin American dances which are still the basis of teaching and competition today.

Arthur Murray (born Moses Teichman, April 4, 1895 –  March 3, 1991) was an American dance instructor and businessman, whose name is most often associated with the dance studio chain which bears his name.
Arthur Murray was born in Galicia, Austria-Hungary, in 1895 as Moses Teichman.
In August 1897, he was brought to America by his mother Sarah on the S.S. Friesland, and landed at Ellis Island.
They settled in Ludlow Street, in the Lower East Side of Manhattan with his father, Abraham Teichmann.
In 1912, at the age of 17, he taught dance at night while working as a draftsman by day.
He studied under the popular dance team of Vernon and Irene Castle and went to work for them.
Murray won his first dance contest at the Grand Central Palace, a public dance hall.
He later became a part-time dance teacher there, after graduation from high school.
The first prize had been a silver cup, but Murray went home with nothing to show for his win.
His partner of the evening took it; it was destined for a pawnshop.
This loss made an impression on Murray, and in later years every winner in his dance contests took home a prize.

The Three Caballeros is a 1944 animated movie produced by Walt Disney Productions and distributed by RKO Radio Pictures.
The movie premiered in Mexico City on December 12, 1944.
The 7th animated movie in the Disney animated features canon, it shows an adventure through parts of Latin America, combining live-action and animation.
This is the second of the Disney package movies of the 1940s.
The movie is made up as a series of self-contained segments, strung together by the device of Donald Duck opening birthday gifts from his Latin American friends.
Several Latin American stars of the movie's time appear, including singers Aurora Miranda (sister of Carmen Miranda) and Dora Luz, as well as dancer Carmen Molina.
It again starred Donald Duck, who in the course of the movie is joined by old friend José Carioca, the cigar-smoking parrot from Saludos Amigos (1943) representing Brazil, and later makes a new friend, a rooster, Panchito Pistoles, representing Mexico.
The music of the Mexican part of the movie was written by Mexican composer Manuel Esperon, who wrote the score for over 540 Mexican movies in the Golden Age of Mexican Cinema.
Walt Disney, after having seen his success in the Mexican movie industry, called him personally to ask him to participate in the movie.
The main song for the Mexican part is "Ay Jalisco, No Te Rajes!",
one of Esperon's most famous songs.
The movie received two Academy Award nominations for Original Music Score and Best Sound.
It is Donald Duck's birthday.
He receives three presents.
The first present is a movie projector, which shows him a documentary on birds.
The next present is a book given to Donald by Jose Carioca himself.
This book takes them to Bahia.
The third present is a piñata given to Donald by Panchito Pistoles.
In the piñata, there are many surprises.
The celebration ends with Donald Duck being fired away by firecrackers in the shape of a bull (the firecrackers are lit by Jose with his cigar).
Throughout the movie, we see a voiceless character called the Aracuan Bird at random moments.
He usually bothers everyone, sometimes stealing Jose's cigar.
His most famous gag is when he re-routes the train by drawing new tracks.
He returns three years later in Disney's Melody Time.

A protocarnivorous plant is a plant that traps small animals (usually insects and arthropods) much like carnivorous plants do.
Unlike carnivorous plants, these plants cannot get the nutritients from the trapped prey, though.
The mechanisms of trapping are very similar to those developed by carnivorous plants.
The problem is also one of definitions, as people do not agree what makes a carnivorous plant.
