Usually cutscenes tell part of the story, such as showing characters talking or having a narrator say what is going on.
Sometimes, however, a cutscene just shows something that is happening in the game, like a boss showing up, a ship taking off, or a building falling down.
There are many different types of cutscene.
Some cutscenes are very simple and just show pictures with text like a slideshow.
Others may be animated like a cartoon.
Sometimes the cutscene appears directly in the game engine.
Many new games use prerendered scenes, meaning that the scene was created when the game was made and saved as a video file.
Prerendered videos are sometimes just saved movies of things recorded in the game engine, but some use Computer-generated imagery (CGI), which is separately made 3D graphics which are usually fancier than the game's normal graphics.
Prerendered scenes with CGI are often used for a game's intro video.
A few games use live-action video footage, which is filmed like a movie or television show.
Sometimes live-action footage will be used together with CGI.
The Thirteenth Amendment was an amendment to the United States Constitution, meaning that it was a change to the basic and most important laws that govern the United States.
It abolished slavery in the United States.
It was passed in December 6, 1865, at the end of the Civil War with only a handful of Democrats supporting the Amendment in both Chambers of Congress.
It was one of the Reconstruction Amendments.
It repealed Article Four, Section 2, of the Constitution; the Fugitive Slave Clause.
Section 1.
Prior to the Civil War, Constitution allowed slavery.
However, many groups sought to end slavery in the United States.
The groups became the Republican Party in 1856, and gained power in 1860 with the election of Abraham Lincoln.
Near the end of the Civil War, Republicans, who controlled Congress, introduced an amendment to make slavery illegal (against the law) in every part of the United States. (
In order for an amendment to happen, it first must be passed by both the United States Senate and the United States House of Representatives, and then passed by three-quarters of the states' legislatures.)
The amendment was passed by three-quarters of the states, and became law in late 1865.
Hurricane Jeanne was the tenth named storm, the seventh hurricane, and the fifth major hurricane of the 2004 Atlantic hurricane season.
With $7 billion in damage caused, it is the 13th costliest hurricane in U.S. History.
In Florida the hurricane made landfall in the same area as Hurricane Frances did only two weeks before.
In spring 2005 the name Jeanne was retired because of the severe damage and the high number of deaths.
Jeanne was replaced by Julia in 2010.

Redevelopment is any new construction on a place which is already in use.
An example is the redevelopment of a block of small houses into a large apartment.
An articulated vehicle is a vehicle which has a pivot joint.
This allows the vehicle to turn more sharply.
There are many kinds of articulated vehicles: buses, trams and trains may be articulated.
Steam locomotives were sometimes articulated so the driving wheels could pivot around turns.
In fact, the whole idea of a train is an articulated set of vehicles which run along a track.
Any vehicle towing a trailer could be described as articulated.
The term (UK) of "articulated lorry" refers to the combination of a front part which pulls (the "tractor") and a rear part which follows (the "trailor").
In American English, these may be called semi-trailer trucks..
A balloon loop allows a train to reverse direction without having to shunt or stop.
Balloon loops can be useful for passenger trains, and unit freight trains, such as coal trains.

Lope de Rueda (1510?,
Seville - 1565, Córdoba) was a Spanish dramatist and author.
He was regarded by some as the best of his era.
Lope de Rueda on LopeLives.com
Guillén de Castro y Bellvis (1569 – July 28, 1631), was a Spanish dramatist of the Spanish Golden Age.
Sic is a Latin word meaning "thus", "so", "as such", or "in such a manner".
In writing, it is put in square brackets and italic type – [sic] – to show that any incorrect or unusual spelling, phrases, punctuation, or other quoted material have been copied verbatim (word for word) from its original source.
The word sic may be used to show that an uncommon or old usage is written faithfully: for instance, quoting the U.S. Constitution:
"The House of Representatives shall chuse [sic] their Speaker..."
It is often used, though, to highlight an error, sometimes to ridicule, such as here in The Times:
Warehouse has been around for 30 years and has 263 stores, suggesting a large fan base.
The chain sums up its appeal thus: "styley [sic], confident, sexy, glamorous, edgy, clean and individual, with it's [sic] finger on the fashion pulse."
Sometimes, sic is said to be an abbreviation for "said in context", "spelled in context", "said in copy", and other phrases.
While incorrect, this still gives the same meaning when used.
Warm fronts usually have stratus and cirrus clouds, but sometimes they also have cumulus and cumulonimbus clouds.
Before the warm front passes, there can be rain or snow.
While it is passing, there is often light rain or drizzle.
Groundwater (or ground water) is water located below the ground surface.
Groundwater starts as rain (or other precipitation), and flows under ground for long periods of time through aquifers.
Groundwater flow returns to the surface again through springs and rivers.
Groundwater is an important part of the water cycle.
People bring groundwater to the surface by digging or drilling wells below the surface.
They bring up water from the aquifer and use it for irrigation and other purposes.

All I Ever Wanted is the fourth studio album by American pop rock singer-songwriter Kelly Clarkson.
It was released on March 6, 2009 in Australia and Germany.
On March 9, 2009 in the United Kingdom and New Zealand.
On March 10, 2009 in Canada, Mexico and the United States.
And on March 13, 2009 in Italy.
It was her second album to debut at #1 on the Billboard Hot 200.
That made it Clarkson's second non-consecutive number-one album.
All I Ever Wanted went Gold in Australia, Canada and the United Kingdom.
The album was originally going to be called Masquerade,  but the title was changed to All I Ever Wanted.
That was because because Clarkson felt that there were already albums with similar themes then on the charts, such as P!nk's Funhouse and Britney Spears' Circus.
All I Ever Wanted sold 828,000 copies in the U.S. The album was nominated for Best Pop Vocal Album at the 52nd Grammy Awards.

Nadezhda Filaretovna von Meck () ( - ) was a rich Russian businesswoman.
She is remembered today for her strange relationship with the famous composer  Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky.
For many years she paid him a lot of money each month so that he could compose.
They wrote passionate love letters to one another, yet they never actually met one another.
She was born Nadezhda Filaretovna Frolovskaya.
Her family owned a lot of land.
Her father loved music.
Her mother was a very determined business woman.
When she was 16 it was arranged for her to marry Karl von Meck, a 28-year-old engineer.
Together they had 18 children, of whom 11 grew up to be adults.
Her husband worked for the government.
He did not earn much money and the family was growing quickly.
Nadezhda wanted her husband to be rich.
At this time the steam engine had recently been invented, and railways were just starting to be built in Russia.
Nadezhda thought her husband could earn a lot of money building railways.
As an engineer he became responsible for buildings thousands of miles of railroad tracks.
The new railways allowed grain to be transported from Central Russia to places like Moscow.
Karl died suddenly in 1873.
Nadezhda took over his business matters.
She sold one railway and controlled the other one with the help of her brother.
She kept away from other people, living a solitary life with her children.
She was very strict indeed with them, telling them exactly what to do all the time.
She did not like the idea of marriage, but realized her children would need to marry.
She tried to get them to marry quickly, probably for financial reasons.
Support for arts and music
Nadezhda von Meck was very rich and loved music, so she became an important person in Russian performing arts.
Several musicians were employed by her in her house.
Claude Debussy lived with the family for a time as a music teacher to her daughters.
Debussy was a young man at the time, and not yet famous.
The only concerts she went to were those given by the Russian Musical Society in Moscow.
She sat alone where nobody would notice her.
She met Nikolai Rubinstein.
She thought he had great talent, but she disagreed with him a lot of the time.
Relationship with Tchaikovsky
In 1877 she came into contact with Tchaikovsky, although she never met him.
She asked him to compose some pieces for violin and piano to play at her home.
Tchaikovsky knew she was a rich lady who paid well, so he quickly composed some music.
They wrote letters to one another, exchanged photographs of one another, but they came to an agreement that they would never meet.
She paid him 6,000 rubles a year.
This was a lot of money: about twenty times the salary of an ordinary government worker.
He was able to stop teaching at the Moscow Conservatory and spend his time composing.
Between 1877 and 1890 they wrote about 1,200 letters to one another.
Her encouragement was very important to him, and helped him to keep happy when he felt depressed.
In 1876 Tchaikovsky had decided to marry.
He was then a composer aged 36.
He was gay, and this was something terrible in Russia at that time.
He was very frightened that people would find out and that he would be bullied.
So he decided to marry.
He did not care who it was he married, so long as it would make him look respectable.
The next year he found a young girl called Antonina to marry.
He told Nadezhda.
She wrote to congratulate him and told him she hoped he would be happy.
A week later, Tchaikovsky wrote to Nadezhda to ask for more money because the marriage had put him into debt.
A few weeks later he was writing again to her saying that he hated his wife.
He soon separated from her.
Writing to Nadezhda was a great support to him at this time.
It is impossible to know whether Nadezhda knew he was gay or whether that would have made a difference to her feelings.
At any rate, she continued to write that she loved him.
Her relationship with Tchaikovsky was also a good thing for her.
She hated anything to do with sex, so it was good that she could express her emotions to someone whom she did not have to face in person.
Tchaikovsky dedicated his Fourth Symphony to her.
On one occasion they met one another by accident.
Nadezhda had invited Tchaikovsky to stay at her home.
This was a huge house in enormous grounds, so it was easy to arrange that they should not meet.
They agreed that they would not go out at the same time.
However, one day he came home late and she went out early.
She was in a horse carriage and he was walking.
When they saw one another they looked away quickly.
In October 1890, von Meck sent Tchaikovsky  a year's money in advance, saying that it was the last time she would be able to send him money.
She said she was bankrupt.
She may have worried that she probably would be bankrupt in a year’s time.
Some people think that she did this because she found out about Tchaikovsky’s homosexuality.
Others disagree with this.
After all, in her last letter to him she asked him never to forget her.

A clapper is a basic form of percussion instrument.
It is made of two long solid pieces that are clapped together to make sound.
Clappers exist in many forms in many different cultures around the world.
They can be made of a wide variety of material.
Wood is most common, but metal and ivory have also been used.
A sovereign state is a state with borders where people live, and where a government makes laws and talks to other sovereign states.
The people have to follow the laws that the government makes.
Most sovereign states are recognized which means other sovereign states agree that it is really a sovereign state.
Being recognized makes it easier for a sovereign state to talk to and make agreements (treaties) with other sovereign states.
There are hundreds of recognized sovereign states today - see List of sovereign states.
There is no rule to say what exactly makes a state.
Usually, the things a state must have are mainly political, not legal.
The Czechs and the Poles were seen as separate states during World War I, even though they did not exist as states yet.
L.C. Green explained this by saying that "recognition of statehood is a matter of discretion, it is open to any existing state to accept as a state any entity it wishes, regardless of the existence of territory or an established government."
This means that it is up to any state that already exists to treat any other group as a state.
This recognition can be direct or implied.
When a state does this, it usually means that the group will also be treated as a state for things that happened in the past.
Sometimes it means that the state wants diplomatic relations with the other group, but not always.
Sovereignty is a word that is often used wrongly.
Lassa Oppenheim said that there is no idea whose meaning is more  than sovereignty.
No one argues the fact that from the time the idea of sovereignty was first used in political science until now, there has never been one meaning that everyone agreed on.
Justice Evatt of the High Court of Australia says that "sovereignty is neither a question of fact, nor a question of law, but a question that does not arise at all."
Although the word sovereignty often includes all types of government, ancient and modern, the modern state has some links to the type of government first seen in the 15th century, when the term "state" also first meant what it does today.
Because of this, the word is often used to refer only to modern political systems.
A nation is a group of people who are believed to share common customs, origins, and history.
However, the adjectives national and international are used about what is strictly a sovereign state, as in national capital, international law.
A state is the government and other supporting groups of people that have sovereignty over an area of land and population.
Because the meaning of the words has changed over time and past writers often used the word "state" in a different ways it is difficult to say exactly what a state is.
Mikhail Bakunin used the word simply to mean a governing organization.
Other writers used the word "state" to mean any law-making or law enforcement agency.
Karl Marx said that the state was what was used by the ruling class of a country to control the rule.
According to Max Weber, the state is an organization who are the only people allowed to use violence in a particular area.
Constitutive theory of statehood
In 1815 at the Congress of Vienna the Final Act only recognized 39 sovereign states in Europe.
Because of this, they said that in future new states would have to be recognized by other states.
In practice, this meant recognition by one or more of the most powerful countries.
This constitutive theory was developed in the 19th century to describe what is and is not a state.
With this theory, the need to follow international law depends on whether other sovereign governments recognize the group.
Because of this, new states could not become part of the international community or be bound by international law immediately, so recognized nations did not have to respect international law in their dealings with them.
"International Law does not say that a State is not in existence as long as it isn't recognised, but it takes no notice of it before its recognition.
Through recognition only and exclusively a State becomes an International Person and a subject of International Law".
One of the major issues is the confusion that happens when some states recognize a new group, but other states do not.
Hersch Lauterpacht, one of the main people who supported the theory, suggested that it is a state's job to grant recognition as a possible solution.
However, a state may use any set of rules when judging if they should give recognition.
Declarative theory of statehood
One of the criteria most commonly used by micronations is the Montevideo Convention.
The Montevideo Convention was signed on December 26 1933 by the United States, Honduras, El Salvador, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Argentina, Venezuela, Uruguay, Paraguay, Mexico, Panama, Bolivia, Guatemala, Brazil, Ecuador, Nicaragua, Colombia, Chile, Peru and Cuba but it never received international consensus.
The Montevideo Convention has four conditions that a group "should" meet to become a state:
a population that lives there
a set piece of land
a government
the ability to enter into relations with other states
According to this, the existence of a state does not depend upon recognition by other states.
Whether or not an group meets the conditions is decided by other states when they decide if they are going to treat that group as a state.
Usually, new states are formally recognized by at least a few other states.
De facto and de jure states
Most sovereign states are states de jure and de facto.
This means they exist both in law and in real life.
However, sometimes states are only de jure states.
This means that other states see a group as the true government of a place where they have no actual control.
Many European states had governments-in-exile during the Second World War which still had relations with the Allies, even though their countries were under Nazi occupation.
An example today is the Sovereign Military Order of Malta, which is a United Nations observer, has  with 104 states.
It has no land of its own, only embassies and consulates.
Other states may have sovereignty over a place, but are not recognized by other states, these are de facto states only.
Many people agree that Somaliland is such a state.

Giza Necropolis (also called the Giza pyramid complex) is necropolis on the Giza Plateau near the city of Cairo, Egypt.
It is about 8 kilometres (5 mi) inland into the desert from the ancient town of Giza on the Nile, and about 25 kilometres (15 mi) southwest of Cairo city centre.
The Great Pyramid is the only remaining monument of the Seven Wonders of the World.
Construction is thought to have taken 20,000 workers and 20 years.
Major parts of the complex
Pyramid of Khufu
Pyramid of Menkaure
Construction of the Great Pyramid
There have been many theories to explain how the pyramids were built.
the use of external or outside ramps
the use of cranes
the use of an internal or inside ramp.
This idea was developed by Jean-Pierre Houdin, a French architect.
He has also made detailed computer models of the Great Pyramid.
Houdin says that the ramp spirals upward.
There is evidence in the notched corners of the pyramid.
Not only was the spiraling internal ramp used, but an external ramp was probably used to move the bigger blocks.
These are in the lower half of the pyramid and probably used simple cranes to lift them.

A calzone (Italian "stocking" or "trouser" or "drooping sack" or "hanging fold") is a turnover from Italy.
It is made with ingredients that are like a pizza, but they are not the same.
It is folded into a crescent shape before it is cooked.
Calzones are made from pizza dough and filled with mozzarella and ricotta cheese.
Other things such as ham, salami, vegetables or an egg can used as fillings as well.
The dough is folded over, sealed along the edge and then fried.
It is usually served with a seafood sauce, or with garlic, parsley and olive oil.
The Pizza Hut restaurant sells large calzones known as the P'zone.
In America, the Hot Pockets brand of microwaveable turnovers are called "Bread Stuffed Calzones".
In Chicago, the calzone is usually called a pizza puff, made by Italco Foods.

Bisexual pornography is a genre of pornography which generally shows one woman and two men, all perform sex acts with each other.
Bisexual pornography is separate from threesome pornography, which shows one man and two women.
As most pornography is marketed to men, most bisexual porn is advertised to straight or bisexual men.
Very few customers of bi-porn say they are gay.
Producers who use the term "bisexual porn" are usually showing  what a bisexual or bi-curious man might wish to see.
Sex acts between a man and a woman, as well as between two men.
A common way that these are shown in a single scene is with one woman and two men performing together.
Pornographic movie industry
Images and videos showing male bisexuality have been more popular since the start of internet pornography.
However the area is still a very small grouping of the pornographic DVD market.
For example, at porn seller HotMovies.com, there are only 655 bisexual movies out of a showing of more than 90,000 movies.
Bisexual DVDs sell much better online than in adult video stores.
This may be because customers in stores feel embarrassed to buy them.
Most bisexual porn is made by small companies rather than the major studios.
Actors are mostly new at porn.
Any well-known actors in bisexual porn usually are from the gay pornography industry, although they may not be gay or even bisexual in their personal life.
Sex acts depicted
The female performer may encourage the two men to engage in sex acts together.
She may do this by talking to them, or by masturbating as she watches them.
In some videos, the woman may demand that her "straight" husband or boyfriend do sex acts with the other man as "punishment" for cheating  (see Cuckold).
Usually the "husband" performs oral sex on the other man, or receives anal sex from him.
The performers may create a "daisy chain," in which all three participants perform and receive oral sex at the same time.
A man and woman have vaginal intercourse (from behind or reverse cowgirl), while a third person performs oral sex on the woman and/or on the man.
The two men may perform anal sex, with the woman masturbating or sucking the receiving man.
The two men may perform anal sex, with the woman receiving cunnilingus from one or both of them.
The two men may perform anal sex, while the bottom man has vaginal intercourse with the woman.
The man in the middle is referred to with the slang term "Lucky Pierre".
The woman may perform anal sex on one of the men using a strap-on, while the other man receives anal from that man, or performs frot with him, or performs anal on the woman.
Two of the performers may engage in intercourse, while the third urinates on them.
The Yad Vashem Memorial has said that the Nazis did not make a lot of soap from Jewish bodies.
Yad Vashem says that the Nazis used rumors about making soap from bodies to scare the camp inmates.
However, there is evidence that research facilities had come up with a way for large amounts of soap to be made from human bodies.
During World War I, the British had already accused Germany of using the fat from human bodies to make things.
In April 1917, an important newspaper in London, England called The Times wrote that the Germans were using the bodies of their own dead soldiers to make soap and other products.
It was not until 1925 that the British Foreign Secretary, Sir Austen Chamberlain, officially said that the "corpse factory" story had been an error.
Stories that the Nazis made soap from the bodies of concentration camp victims were common during the war.
Germany did not have enough fats to make soap during World War II.
Because of this, the government took control of making soap.
The "human soap" stories may have started because with the bars of soap made by the government were marked with the initials "RIF."
Some people thought this stood for Reichs-Juden-Fett in German.
This means "State Jewish Fat" in English.
(In German acronyms, "I" and "J" were often used like the same letter, so people thought "RIF" could mean "RJF".)
In fact, "RIF" actually stood for Reichsstelle für Industrielle Fettversorgung.
This was the German government agency in charge of making and giving out soap and washing products during the war.
(In English, the agency's name was the "National Center for Industrial Fat Provisioning.")
RIF soap was not very good, and did not have any kind of fat.
Raul Hilberg reports that stories about soap made from human fat were told in Lublin, Poland, as early as October 1942.
The Germans themselves knew about the stories.
Heinrich Himmler, the leader of the SS, got letter saying the Poles thought Jewish people were being "boiled into soap."
The letter also said the Poles feared they would also be used to make soap.
These stories were so widely known that some Polish people actually refused to buy soap.
Himmler was so worried by the rumors, and the thought of poor security at the camps, that he said that all bodies should be burnt or buried as quickly as possible.
Soviet propagandist Ilya Ehrenburg reported a common version of the story as fact in The Complete Black Book of Russian Jewry:
Evidence of soap-making at Stutthof
During the Nuremberg Trials, Sigmund Mazur, a laboratory worker at the Danzig Anatomical Institute, said that soap had been made from the bodies of dead people at Stutthof concentration camp.
He said that 70 to 80 kg of fat collected from 40 bodies could make more than 25 kg of soap.
He also said that the finished soap was kept by Professor Rudolf Spanner.
Mazur gave a recipe that read: "5 kilos of human fat are mixed with 10 liters of water and 500 or 1,000 grams of caustic soda.
All this is boiled 2 or 3 hours and then cooled.
The soap floats to the surface while the water and other sediment remain at the bottom.
A bit of salt and soda is added to this mixture.
Then fresh water is added and the mixture again boiled 2 or 3 hours.
After having cooled, the soap is poured into molds."
At the Nuremberg Trials, Nazi witnesses and British prisoners of war supported Mazur's story.
(The British prisoners of war had been used as forced labor to build the Stutthof camp.)
These witnesses talked about seeing:
Small amounts of soap being made from human fat
Nazi workers at the Danzig Anatomical Institute using this soap
Nazi workers trying to come up with a way to produce large amounts of soap from human bodies
After doing research, Holocaust survivor Thomas Blatt found little evidence of mass production of soap from human fat.
However, he found evidence that soap had been made from human fat in experiments.
Holocaust historian Robert Melvin Spector agrees that the Nazis "did indeed use human fat for the making of soap at Stutthof," but in small amounts.
In his book Russia at War 1941 to 1945, Alexander Werth said that while visiting Danzig in 1945 just after it was freed by the Red Army, he saw an experimental factory outside the city for making soap from human bodies.
Werth said that it had been run by "a German professor called Spanner" and "was a
and its pails full of a flakey substance - human soap".
Postwar
After the war, in 1955, Alain Resnais included the idea that the Nazis made large amounts of "human soap" in his Holocaust documentary movie Nuit et brouillard.
After the war, some Israelis also spoke about Jewish victims of Nazism with the Hebrew word סבון (sabon, "soap").
Mainstream Holocaust scholars think the idea that Nazis made large amounts of "human soap" is part of WWII folklore.
Examples of scholars who believe this include the well-known Jewish historians Walter Laqueur, Gitta Sereny, and Deborah Lipstadt.
Other people who believe this include Professor Yehuda Bauer of Israel's Hebrew University, and Shmuel Krakowski, archives director of Israel's Yad Vashem Holocaust center.
Historian Yisrael Gutman agrees that "it was never done on a mass scale."
And Holocaust historian Robert Melvin Spector says that the Nazis "did indeed use human fat for the making of soap at Stutthof," but in small amounts.
The Soap Myth is a 2009 play about Nazis making soap from the bodies of the people they murdered.
