AIESEC (said like "Eye Seck"), is a big student organisation that was started in 1948.
It was made to fix problems between countries and create peace after World War II.
It has spread all over the world since it started.
There are many members in about 125 countries.
AIESEC is an organisation that helps its members to develop themselves as leaders.
It also has an exchange program for students and university graduates to intern or volunteer in other countries.
Most members are students at university but some are paid to work for AIESEC.
The organisation is presented in 125 countries and territories in the world.
The headquarters of AIESEC are in Rotterdam.
For over 60 years of working AIESEC's main impact had been its alumni all over the world.
These alumni become successful business leaders, politicians, and NGO directors.
The approximate number of alumni 1 million.

Organelles typically have their own plasma membrane round them.
Most of the cell's organelles are in the cytoplasm.
The name organelle comes from the idea that these structures are to cells what an organ is to the body.
There are many types of organelles in eukaryotic cells.
Prokaryotes were once thought not to have organelles, but some examples have now been found.
They are not organised like eukaryote organelles, and are not bounded by plasma membranes.
They are called bacterial microcompartments.
Scope of the term
The term is now widely used to refer to cellular structures surrounded by single or double plasma membranes.
However, the older definition of a 'subcellular functional unit' still coexists.
That is, the term is sometimes used for structures which are not membrane-bound.
The plasma membrane is a lipid bilayer with some proteins embedded in it.
It keeps the ions and molecules of the organelle from merging with the surroundings.
Origin of organelles
Mitochondria and chloroplasts, which have double-membranes and their own DNA, are believed to have originated from incompletely consumed or invading prokaryotic organisms, which were adopted as a part of the invaded cell.
This idea is supported in the endosymbiotic theory.
Eukaryotic organelles
Major organelles
Minor organelles
Prokaryotic organelles
Prokaryotes are not so complex as eukaryotes.
They were thought  to have no internal structures enclosed by lipid membranes.
However, recent research has shown that at least some prokaryotes have microcompartments such as carboxysomes.
These subcellular compartments are 100–200 nm in diameter and are enclosed by a shell of proteins.
Even more striking is the description of membrane-bound magnetosomes in bacteria.
as well as the nucleus-like structures of the Planctomycetes that are surrounded by lipid membranes.

Satguru Sivaya Subramuniyaswami (January 5, 1927 – 2001), known as Gurudeva by his followers, was a Hindu leader and author.
He made a Hindu monastery in Kauai, Hawaii and founded the magazine Hinduism Today.
Subramuniyaswami was an author of many books on Hinduism and metaphysics.
He was one of the most traditional and well known people of Hinduism during the last two decades of the 20th century.
He was one of Saivism's most revered Gurus, the founder and leader of the world's first Hindu church (Saiva Siddhanta Church).
Subramuniyaswami has written several books on Hinduism, Saivism, yoga and meditation.
His works are highly regarded by many of today's Hindu leaders.
Subramuniyaswami's largest work, Master Course, is a complete essay on all parts of Hinduism (Saivism), including the Hindu approach to meditation and metaphysics.
It is in three books and more than 3,000 pages.
The work is written in a flowing version of written English that is similar to the spoken language as well as ancient Hindu oral traditions.

It borders the Central African Republic, Libya, and Chad.
It is divided into three federal states within Sudan: Gharb Darfur (West Darfur), Janub Darfur (South Darfur), and Shamal Darfur (North Darfur).
It is currently in the midst of an ongoing humanitarian crisis that developed from the conflict between Ganjaweed militias and rebel groups (namely the Sudan Liberation Movement and Justice and Equality Movement)
Darfur covers an area of about 493 180 km² (196,555 miles²)—just over two-thirds the size of France and more than half the size of Kenya.
It is largely an arid plateau with the Marrah Mountains (Jebel Marra), a range of volcanic peaks rising up to 3000 m (10,100 ft), in the center of the region.
The region's main towns are Al Fashir, Nyala, and Geneina.
There are four main features of the physical geography.
The whole eastern half of Darfur is covered with plains and low hills of sandy soils, known as goz, and sandstone hills.
In many places the goz is waterless and can only be inhabited where there are water reservoirs or deep boreholes.
To the north the goz is overtaken by the desert sands of the Sahara.
A second feature are the wadis, seasonal watercourses ranging from small rivulets that flood only occasionally during the wet season to large wadis that flood for most of the rains and flow from western Darfur hundreds of miles west to Lake Chad.
Many wadis have pans of alluvium with rich soil that are also difficult to cultivate.
The west of Darfur is dominated by the third feature, basement rock, sometimes covered with a thin layer of sandy soil.
Basement rock is too infertile to be farmed, but provides sporadic forest cover that can be grazed by animals.
The fourth and final feature are the Marrah Mountains, that rise up to a peak at Deriba crater where there is a small area of temperate climate, high rainfall and permanent springs of water.
The rainy season is from June through September, transforming much of the region from dusty brown to green.
Because much of the population of Darfur is agricultural, the rains are vital.
In normal years, a crop is ready to be harvested by November.
Once harvested, the dry stalks may be fed to domestic livestock.
In the far northern desert, years may pass between rainfall.
In the far south, annual average rainfall is 700 mm and many trees remain green year-round.
Economy and demography
Darfur has an estimated population of 7.4 million people.
Darfur's economy is primarily based on subsistence agriculture, producing cereals, fruit and tobacco as well as livestock in the drier north.
In addition to this, Darfur also suffers from frequent droughts during the summer and heavy rainfall in the winter.
This has caused many farmers to provide inadequate crops causing the deaths of thousands of people.
Darfur Conflict
The Darfur conflict is an ongoing armed conflict between the Janjaweed militia group and the tribes of the region.
The United Nations estimates that over 400,000 people have lost their lives since the beginning of this conflict.

A grinding mill is a tool that is designed to break a solid material into smaller pieces.
There are many different types of grinding mills and many types of materials processed in them.
Small mills can be powered by hand, such as a mortar and pestle or a pepper grinder.
Large grinding mills were usually powered by working animals, wind (windmill) or water (watermill) in the past.
In the 2000s, most large grinding mills are powered by electricity.
Types of grinding mills
People who need to grind a small amount of a food, such as spices or grain, for their own cooking often use a hand-powered mortar and pestle or a hand-powered grinder, such as a pepper grinder.
In the 2000s, many people also used electric-powered grinding mills.
These kitchen appliances have a metal blade that grinds the food into small pieces.
Electric-powered grinding mills are often used for grinding nuts or coffee.
Grain mills
For thousands of years, humans have ground their grains (such as wheat or corn) into flour using grain mills powered by animals (such as oxen or horses), wind (windmills) or by running water from a stream or river (watermill).
In the 2000s, most grain mills are powered by electricity.
Mechanical process
After  grinding the state of the solid is changed: the grain size, and the grain shape.
Also, there may be more or less crushing.
Animation of Horizontal Grinder
A windmill is a type of working engine.
It converts the wind's energy into rotational energy.
To do this it uses vanes called sails or blades.
The energy made by windmills can be used in many ways.
These include grinding grain or spices, pumping water and sawing wood.
Modern wind power machines are used to create electricity.
These are called wind turbines by engineers or wind mills by the average person.
Before modern times, windmills were most commonly used to grind grain into flour for making bread.
The windmill has been in history for many years.
An organ powered by a windwheel was written about in the 2nd century AD by the Greek engineer Hero.
It could have been the first machine in history that used wind power.
Vertical axle windmills were used in eastern Persia (Sistar) by 60 AD.
Horizontal axle windmills were invented in Northwestern Europe in the 1180s.
This is the type often used today.
The first windmills had long vertical shafts with rectangle shaped blades.
They existed in Persia in the 9th century.
There is a story about a windmill and the second caliph Umar (634\644 AD).
It is not known if this is a true story.
These windmills were made of six to twelve sails.
The sails were covered in reed matting or cloth.
They were very different from European versions.
A similar type of vertical shaft windmill with rectangle blades can also be found in 13th century China.
They were used for irrigation.
The blades or sails of the windmill are turned by the wind.
Gears and cogs makes the drive shaft inside the windmill turn.
In a windmill used for making flour, this turns the grinding stones.
As the stones turn, they crush the wheat (or other grain) between them.
In a windmill used for pumping water, turning the drive shaft moves a piston.
The piston can suck up and push out water as it moves up and down.
In a windmill used for generating power, the drive shaft is connected to many gears.
This increases the speed and is used to turn a generator to make electricity.
Windmills in culture and literature
Miguel de Cervantes' book Don Quixote de La Mancha has an important scene in which Don Quixote attacks windmills.
He thinks that they are violent giants.
Because of this, La Mancha and its windmills are famous.
This is also the origin of the phrase "tilting at windmills".
It means an act of uselessness.
"Moulin Rouge" translated directly from French, and means Red Windmill.

Blood transfusion is a medical term.
It means a procedure used to transfer blood (or some products based on blood) from the circulatory system of one human to that of another human.
Blood transfusions can save the life of a person, if that person has lost a lot of blood.
A person can lose blood from an injury, a trauma or from a medical operation.
Blood transfusions can also be applied as a treatment to certain diseases of the blood (like Anaemia, for example).
Blood is not collected and used immediately.
Instead it is kept until it is needed.
The storage area is informally called a blood bank .
By adding anti-coagulant to keep the blood from clotting and refrigerating the blood, it is possible to store it for a few days.
Information about transfusion and donation is available at the National Institutes of Health website .
Not all people are able to donate blood to all other people.
Testing for blood types usually prevents any bad reaction to a blood transfusion.
However, there are special problems for anyone with rare blood groups.
It is very important, in order to avoid any complications during a blood transfusion, to detect individuals with rare blood types.
The usual tests for ABO blood group system would show them as group O. It may not be possible to give a blood transfusion at all unless the repository has supply of blood which will not cause a reaction.it donates blood
Delirium is a medical term.
The condition is also known as acute confusional state.
Doctors use it to describe patients who have lost parts or all of their ability to focus attention.
People who suffer from it  may also have problems to concentrate, or to remember things or  other people.
Delirium is a medical symptom.
It is not a disease.
A delirium can have many causes.
The most common ones include:
Injuries to the head or the nervous system
Trauma or shock
Fever or pain
Certain substances found in drugs or poisons
Problems with metabolism.
If a substance is transformed into another using an enzyme, a problem with that enzyme will lead to too much of the first, and too little of the second substance.
Not having enough water, or food, or sleep
Withdrawal symptoms (when people try to get away from a drugs or alcohol addiction).
The delirium associated with alcohol withdrawal is called delirium tremens.
Disturbance of consciousness; problems to focus, shift the focus, concentrate, or shift concentration from one item to another.
hallucinations; reduced ability to solve problems.
Sleeping problems are common, very often the circadian rhythm is lost.
Problems with thinking; problems remembering things.
Benzodiazepines are the most commonly used medications for alcohol withdrawal and DTs.
They help calm excited nervous system.
Treatment also need intravenous fluids with vitamins and minerals to treat dehydration or bring your electrolytes back into balance.
Deliria are always a medical emergency, because it is impossible to predict how they develop.
Worst-case scenarios include cardiac arrest, and malfunctions of the metabolism.
In order to be able to treat a delirium, its cause must usually be found.
In the case of alcoholism, the most common cause for a delirium is the withdrawal of alcohol.
This condition is known as Delirium tremens.
Jaundice  (also called icterus) is when the skin and the whites of the eyes become a yellow color.
People with jaundice have a problem with their liver, which stops it from removing heme properly.
Heme (from hemoglobin) changes to a chemical called bilirubin after red blood cell death.
Bilirubin causes the yellow coloring of the skin.
Jaundice is common in newly born babies.
It usually starts the second day after birth.
Jaundice is the most common of all liver problems.
The yellow colour of the skin and mucous membranes happens because of an increase in the bile pigment, bilirubin, in the blood.
The bile, made by the liver, is a vital digestive fluid needed for proper nutrition.
It also stops decaying changes in food.
If the bile is stopped from entering the intestines there is an increase in gases and other products.
Normally, the production of bile and its flow is constant.
Types of Jaundice
haemolytic jaundice - caused by destruction of red blood cells.
This causes increased bilirubin formation and anaemia
obstructive jaundice  - caused by a blockage in the pathway where bilirubin is made in the liver cells and where bile goes into the duodenum
hepatocellular jaundice - caused by damage to liver cells.
The damage could be from a viral infection or toxic drugs.
extreme weakness
loss of appetite
tiredness
severe constipation
yellow coloration of the eyes, tongue, skin and urine.
dull pain in the liver region.
Obstructive jaundice may also cause intense itching.
Jaundice is a sign that the liver is not working.
It may be caused by a blockage of the bile ducts which release bile salts and pigment into the intestines.
The bile then gets mixed with blood and this gives a yellow colour to the skin.
The blockage of the bile ducts could be caused by:
gallstones
inflammation (swelling) of the liver, called hepatitis.
This is caused by a virus.
The virus can spread and may lead to epidemics caused by:
overcrowding
dirty surroundings
insanitary conditions
contamination of food and water.
Hildegard of Bingen (born Bemersheim nr.
Alzey in about 1098; died 17 September 1179) was a German writer, composer and mystic.
She was an abbess who is well known for her literary works and her songs.
She also wrote about medical and scientific things, and wrote letters to many important politicians.
Hildegard was born into a noble family.
Her parents sent her to a monastery because she was the tenth child of the family.
She took the veil (became a nun) at the age of 15.
By the time she was 38 she had the title of “mother superior”.
She founded (started) a monastery on the Rupertsberg in the Rhine valley near Bingen.
Later she founded a daughter house on the other side of the river near Rüdesheim.
She travelled a lot and talked to many important people.
She later had the title of “abbess”.
After she died several popes suggested she should be made a saint, but this never happened.
She does, though, have a feast day on September 17, which is celebrated in some parts of Germany.
Known as the "Sybil of the Rhine", Hildegard had many visions, many of which she wrote down.
They were mostly about God and his relationship with humans, the church, redemption from God, and creation.
She wrote lyrical poetry which was very colourful and had lots of visionary ideas.
Her music does not use plainchant like the music of many other medieval composers at the time.
It mostly has small patterns of melody which are repeated many times in slightly different ways.
Her music was also different because the chants she wrote were written for female voices, in a higher range than earlier chants.
This made them easier for women's voices.
She wrote a morality play in verse with 82 melodies.
Hildegard of Bingen is the first composer whose life we know about.
She may possibly be the first woman to write about female sexuality.

Alternative medicine describes practices used in place of conventional medical treatments.
Some patients seek these practices along with conventional medicine.
When the patient's medical doctor coordinates with an alternative medicine therapist, this is called "complementary medicine."
Alternative medicine includes practices that incorporate spiritual, metaphysical, or religious belief; non-evidence-based practices, non-European medical traditions, or newly developed approaches to healing.
The First Years
Divaldo graduated from the Escola Normal Rural de Feira de Santana, where he received his Primary School Professor diploma in 1943.
Since his infancy, he claimed to be able to communicate with spirits.
When he was young, he was traumatized by the death of his two older brothers, so much so that he became sick.
He was taken to several Medical specialists, none of them could give a satisfactory diagnosis.
After this, he met Dr. Ana Ribeiro Borges, who persuaded him to take up the spiritist doctrine.
During his period of convalescence, he dedicated himself to the study of spiritism.
After the body health be restored, he continued studying the spiritism.

In Hinduism there are many beliefs regarding Devas(deity).
But in most of them a god is in charge.
Supreme god is regarded as a creator of the universe, an entity that exists and gives life to all things.
It is believed to have created the universe and many other gods and goddess to be his helpers.
Different forms (Avatars) of the supreme god are worshipped, depending on the Hindu tradition.
The ultimate god of Hinduism is Still, The Parambrahman or the Ultimate reality
Hinduism believes All it's Devas are different forms of same NIRAKAR Parambrahman.
Devas in Hinduism are thought as highly advanced spiritual beings and are often represented in human form or partially human and partially animal forms.
Sometimes they are also represented as non-living things and plants.
The three gods who started creation: Vishnu, Brahma, and Shiva are called Bhagwans (also known as Bhagavān).
Yakshas are all male gods created by the three Bhagwans.
The main god in Vaishnavite sect of Hinduism is Vishnu.
Vishnu is the Supreme Brahman, According to many Vaishnava Scriptures.
Shiva is the Supreme, in Shaivite Traditions while in Shakti Traditions, Adi Parshakti is supreme.
Other names such as Ishvara, Bhagavan, Bhagvati and Daiva also means Hindu gods and all of them mainly denote Brahman.
According to scriptures lord Shiva is considered to be the supreme god due to his patience and complete control over anger.
He is believed to have a third eye which causes destruction once opened.
Vishnu, Shiva and Brahma are the major gods and Lakshmi, Parvati and Saraswati are the major goddesses in Hinduism.
Many Hindus believe that Brahma is the Creator, Vishnu is the preserver and Shiva or Maheshwar is destroyer.
Supreme God
Parambrahman is the supreme God of Hinduism.
Most Hindus worship one Supreme Being, though by different names.
This is because the peoples of India with different languages and cultures have understood the one God in their own distinct way.
Regional and family traditions can play a large part in influencing this choice.
Through history four principal Hindu denominations arose —Vaishnavism, Shaktism, Shaivism, and Smartism.
For Vaishnavites, Lord Maha Vishnu is God Of Supreme, For Shaktas, Goddess Shakti is supreme, For Shaivites, God Shiva is Supreme.
For Smartas—who see all Deities as reflections of the One God—the choice of Deity is left to the devotee.
They generally choose one concept of God, and cultivate devotion to that chosen form, while at the same time respecting the chosen ideals of other people.
The many different names given to the Supreme God in Hinduism encourage a multiplicity of paths, as opposed to conformity to just one.
The unique understanding in Hinduism is that God is not far away, living in a remote heaven, but is all-pervasive and energizes the entire universe.
He is also inside each soul, waiting to be discovered.
Knowing the one Supreme God in this intimate and experiential way is the goal of Hindu spirituality.
Other gods
Hindus also believe in many Gods (Devas) who perform various functions, like executives in a large corporation.
These should not be confused with the Supreme God.
These deities are highly advanced beings who have specific duties and powers—not unlike the heavenly spirits, overlords or archangels that are mystical actors revered in other faiths.
Each denomination worships the Supreme God and its own set of divine beings.
Devas (also called Devatās) constitute an integral part of the colorful Hindu culture.
These various forms of God are represented in innumerable paintings, statues, murals, and scriptural stories that can be found in temples, homes, businesses, and other places.
In Hinduism the scriptures recommend that for the satisfaction of a particular material desire a person may worship a particular deity.
For example, shopkeepers frequently keep a statue or picture of the devi Lakshmi in their shops.
Bhuvaneswari
The concept of Goddess Bhuvaneswari as the supreme goddess emerged in historical religious literature as a term to define the powerful and influential nature of female deities in India.
Throughout history, goddesses have been portrayed as the mother of the universe, through whose powers the universe is created and destroyed.
The gradual changes in belief through time shape the concept of Bhuvaneswari and express how the different Goddesses, though very different in personality, all carry the power of the universe on their shoulders.
Coheed and Cambria have made four studio albums, two live albums, and some special albums.
Their studio albums are concept albums, showing one story broken into parts.
The band wants to make five albums telling the story of The Amory Wars.
Now, four albums have been released: The Second Stage Turbine Blade, In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth: 3, Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness, and Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow, and Year of the Black Rainbow.
These albums make the first, second, third, and fourth part of the four-part story of Coheed and Cambria.
The albums have been made out of order; the second part was made first, and the first part has been made last.
Early Days (1995)
When a band called Toxic Parents, with Claudio Sanchez and Travis Stever in it, broke up about the same time as Nate Kelley's band, Moe & The Boogie Cats, the members of these bands came together to form a new band in March 1995.
This band was called Beautiful Loser.
It had Travis Stever singing and playing guitar, Claudio Sanchez on guitar, Nate Kelley on drums and Jon Carleo on bass.
The group did not last long, it broke up in June of 1995; they had an argument about gas money.
Stever left the band, and Kelley was kicked out, but he came back when Sanchez asked him to.
Without Stever, the band only had three people, so Sanchez started to sing and play guitar.
Shabütie
They changed their name to Shabütie, a chant taken from the movie "The Naked Prey".
The band constantly changed and experimented with different genres and styles, never properly deciding a set genre.
When Carleo left the band in August 1996, Kelley asked Michael Todd to join the band, who he had worked with in an acoustic project called "Esme 9".
Todd, a guitar player, started playing bass because of Shabütie.
Coheed and Cambria (2000 — 2006)
After Kelley left, Sanchez and the other people picked Josh Eppard, who was in the band "3", to take his place.
In 2001, shortly after The Delirium Trigger EP was made, they changed their name to Coheed and Cambria and Shabütie was finished.
The band was now a four piece: Claudio Sanchez, (lead vocals/guitar), Travis Stever, (backup vocals/guitar), Michael Todd, (backup vocals/bass guitar), and Josh Eppard, (drums).
When playing live, Dave Parker (keyboards/guitar), sometimes plays too.
Recent times (2006—)
Josh Eppard could not play at Coheed and Cambria's June 9 slot at the Download Festival in the UK because he was ill.
A few days later, the band canceled the Barcelona and Essen parts of their European tour.
It was announced a few days before the band embarked on Warped Tour '07 that Chris Pennie, the   former drummer for Dillinger Escape Plan, is working with the band in studio.
In July, a website registered to Sony appeared on the internet, www.noworldfortomorrow.com.
This website contained a countdown.
After this countdown ended, a message was released and another countdown appeared.
This showed that a message would be released weekly.
An archive of the messages released can be found here .
On October 23, 2007 The band's forth studio album was released under the name "Good Apollo, I'm Burning Star IV, Volume Two: No World for Tomorrow" It was met with positive reviews from online zines such as Rollingstone.com and Absolutepunk.net.
Influences and similarities
Sanchez has said that he is influenced by bands like Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin, Thin Lizzy, Black Sabbath, Iron Maiden, Yes and many people say that they sound like Rush.
But, Claudio Sanchez has said that he never listened to the band until he  heard people say that they sounded like each other.
Metal Hammer magazine called the band the "new Led Zeppelin" on the front cover of issue 153.
They also have hardcore punk influences such as Bad Brains and The Misfits.
Claudio also said in an interview he learned to play guitar by listening to the Misfits' Legacy of Brutality.
The Amory Wars (previously called The Bag On Line Adventures) – Claudio Sanchez's comic book series telling the story of Coheed and Cambria.
Gus Vasquez also worked on the books.
The series began on June 6, 2007.

Discography   Work done as Shabűtie is noted.
The Coheed and Cambria albums are coming out out of sequence; the last album to come out will be the first part of the series.
The first CD made was The Second Stage Turbine Blade, the second part in the story, the third and fourth parts came out next.
The next album has been called "Most Anticipated Album of 2007" by the Alternative Press magazine.
The February 2007 issue of Kerrang!
says, "Among the songs that may or may not appear on the album are 'Gravemakers And Gunslingers' and 'The Hound Of Blood And Rank.'"
Also, the issue says that a release should come out in either late spring or early summer.
Live at the Starland Ballroom (2005)
The Last Supper: Live at Hammerstein Ballroom (2006)
Neverender: Children of The Fence Edition (2009)
A cover of Night Ranger's 'Sister Christian' was released by the band via the bands official website as an MP3 download as a Christmas present to their fans.
Similarly, a cover of The Band's "I Shall Be Released" was uploaded onto the bands MySpace page as a Christmas Present to their fans in 2006.
The band also used to play a cover of Iron Maiden's "The Trooper" at concerts.
A song called "The Glass" was in the process of being written for the movie Spiderman 2's soundtrack, but the song was not finished in time and it was scrapped.
Many Shabütie songs are circulated on the internet.
Some were recorded in a studio, but others were recorded on a 4-track, resulting in poor quality audio.
There is also a live bootleg on the internet of a song played by Shabütie that fans named "Nauraushaun".
It was assumed that this song was one song in full, but former drummer Nate Kelley has recently told fans that the song was in fact two songs played in a medley.
These two songs are "Origins" and "Life Without You".
These two songs were never recorded except for the bootleg that has been circulating, although "Life Without You" was almost recorded instead of "Cassiopeia".
In the end the band decided they liked "Cassiopeia" more and this was recorded instead.
EPs & Other Albums
A series of six vignettes that showcase music from Good Apollo I'm Burning Star IV, Volume One: From Fear Through the Eyes of Madness'' were made and are on the albums' special edition bonus DVD.

A watermill is an engine that uses a water wheel or turbine to drive a mechanical process such as flour or lumber production, or metal shaping (rolling, grinding or wire drawing).
A watermill that only generates electricity is more usually called a hydroelectric plant.
In 31 AD, a Chinese engineer named Du Shi (Wade-Giles: Tu Shih) "invented the first water-powered bellows.
This was a complicated machine with gears, axles, and levers that was powered by a waterwheel,".
This invention aided the forging of cast iron smelted from the blast furnace.
More extensive descriptions appear in literature of the 5th century.
Greece and Rome
The ancient Greeks and Romans used the technology.
In the 1st century BC, the Greek epigrammatist Antipater of Thessalonica was the first to make a reference to the waterwheel.
He praised it for its use in grinding grain and the reduction of human labor.
The Romans used both fixed and floating water wheels and introduced water power to other countries of the Roman Empire.
So-called 'Greek Mills' used water wheels with a vertically mounted shaft.
A "Roman Mill" features a horizontally-mounted shaft.
Greek style mills are the older and simpler of the two designs, but only operate well with high water velocities and with small diameter millstones.
Roman style mills are more complicated as they require gears transmit the power from a shaft with a horizontal axis to one with a vertical axis.
An example of a Roman era watermill would be the early 4th century site at Barbegal in southern France, where 16 overshot waterwheels were used to power an enormous flour mill.
In a 2005 survey the scholar Adam Lucas identified the following first appearances of various industrial mill types in Western Europe.
Noticeable is the preeminent role of France in the introduction of new innovative uses of waterpower.
Operation of a watermill
Typically, water is diverted from a river or impoundment or mill pond to a turbine or water wheel, along a channel or pipe (variously known as a flume, head race, mill race, leat, leet, lade (Scots) or penstock).
The force of the water's movement drives the blades of a wheel or turbine, which in turn rotates an axle that drives the mill's other machinery.
Water leaving the wheel or turbine is drained through a tail race, but this channel may also be the head race of yet another wheel, turbine or mill.
The passage of water is controlled by sluice gates that allow maintenance and some measure of flood control; large mill complexes may have dozens of sluices controlling complicated interconnected races that feed multiple buildings and industrial processes.
Watermills can be divided into two kinds, one with a horizontal waterwheel on a vertical axle, and the other with a vertical wheel on a horizontal axle.
The oldest of these were horizontal mills in which the force of the water, striking a simple paddle wheel set horizontally in line with the flow turned a runner stone balanced on the rynd which is atop a shaft leading directly up from the wheel.
The bedstone does not turn.
The problem with this type of mill arose from the lack of gearing; the speed of the water directly set the maximum speed of the runner stone which, in turn, set the rate of milling.
Types of watermills
Gristmills grind grains into flour.
These were undoubtedly the most common kind of mill.
Fulling mills or Walkmills were used for a finishing process on cloth (see also fulling).
Blade mills were used for sharpening newly made blades.
Sawmills cut timber into lumber
Barking mills stripped bark from trees for use in tanneries
Spoke mills turned lumber into spokes for carriage wheels.
At the beginning of the industrial revolution, cotton mills were usually powered by a water wheel.
Carpet mills for making rugs were sometimes water-powered.
Textile mills for weaving cloth were sometimes water-powered.
Powder mills for making black powder or smokeless powder were sometimes water-powered.
Blast Furnaces, finery forges, slitting mills, and tinplate works were until the introduction of the steam engine invariably water powered and were sometimes called iron mills.
Prior to the introduction of the cupola (a reverberatory furnace), lead was usually smelted in smelt mills.
Paper mills used water not only for motive power but also in large quantities in the manufacturing process.

Coma is a medical term.
It is a state of deep unconsciousness.
People who are in that state cannot be woken up.
They also do not react to pain or light.
Coma can result from various conditions.
Some of these are intoxication, poisons, damages or diseases of the nervous system.
It can also be the result of certain drugs.
Doctors sometimes put patients that have very bad injuries into a coma.
There are different levels of coma.
Comas usually do not last more than several weeks, but those several weeks could be disastrous.
Sometimes only basic bodily functions are left over.
Intensive hospital care is often needed to recover some of these functions.
Some comas can last years, but these are usually not woken up from.
The family of a coma victim (or whoever has the power of Attorney) can sign papers so that they are taken off of life support and then will die.
For water wheels used to drive boats, see paddle wheel.
For wheels used solely to lift water see noria.
For factories or industries driven by water wheels see watermill.
A water wheel is a hydropower system; a machine for extracting power from the flow of water.
Water wheels and hydropower was widely used in the Middle Ages, powering most industry in Europe, along with the windmill.
The most common use of the water wheel was to mill flour in gristmills, but other uses included foundry work and machining, and pounding linen for use in paper.
A water wheel consists of a large wooden or metal wheel, with a number of blades or buckets arranged on the outside rim forming the driving surface.
