Later it became the home of many runaway convicts.
It was also the scene of some of the most bitter skirmishes of Australia's Black War.
Timber-getters  used its rivers and lakes as seaways to float out logs of cedar, and prospectors climbed its mountains to reach the Gympie gold.
With the coming of the railway line to Gympie, the coastal towns, which were founded as ports for the early river trade, were bypassed.
The Sunshine Coast later grew into a holiday destination, which was further expanded in the development boom of the 1960s and 1970s.
The Sunshine Coast is a centre for tourism.
The attractions include: Steve Irwin's Australia Zoo, UnderWater World marine park, Aussie World with the Ettamogah Pub, The Buderim Ginger Factory, The Big Pineapple and the Majestic Theatre at Pomona.
The Sunshine Coast contains many beaches.
Many well-known beaches within the Sunshine Coast region are located at Noosa Heads, Alexandra Headland, Mooloolaba (the spit), Coolum, Maroochydore and Kings Beach in Caloundra.
The region is also home to more national parks than any other region in Queensland.
The natural variety of the area has been protected by five separate parks in both coastal and inland regions, including Mapleton Falls National Park, Kondalilla National Park, The Glasshouse Mountains National Park, Noosa National Park, and the Great Sandy National Park, which includes sections on Fraser Island and in Cooloola near Rainbow Beach.

Robert Lee Frost  (March 26, 1874 – January 29, 1963) was an American poet.
He is well known for his realistic writings of rural life and his use of American informal (slang) speech.
His poems were often set in rural life in New England in the early twentieth century, and used these settings to look at complex social and philosophical themes.
Frost has often been quoted by other people.
He was honored often during his lifetime, receiving four Pulitzer Prizes for Poetry.
Frost's father was a teacher, and later an editor of the San Francisco Evening Bulletin (later the San Francisco Examiner), and an unsuccessful candidate for city tax collector.
After his death on May 5, 1885 the family moved across the country to Lawrence, Massachusetts.
Frost graduated from Lawrence High School in 1892.
Frost's mother joined the Swedenborgian Church and had him baptized in there, but he left the church as an adult.
Although he would be famous for writing about rural life, Frost grew up in the city, and published his first poem in his high school's magazine.
He attended Dartmouth College for two months, long enough to be accepted into the Theta Delta Chi fraternity.
Frost returned home to teach and to work at different jobs.
In 1894, Frost sold his first poem, "My Butterfly: An Elegy", for fifteen dollars.
It is published in the November 8, 1894, edition of the New York Independent.
Proud of this accomplishment, he proposed marriage to Elinor Miriam White.
She waited, wanting to finish college before they married.
Frost then went on a trip to the Great Dismal Swamp in Virginia.
After returning he proposed again to Elinor.
Because she had then graduated, she agreed.
They got married on 19th December 1896.
He attended liberal arts studies at Harvard for two years, but left to support his growing family.
Shortly before dying, Robert's grandfather purchased a farm for Robert and Elinor in Derry, New Hampshire; and Robert worked the farm for nine years, while writing early in the mornings and producing many of the poems that would later become famous.
His farming was unsuccessful and he returned to education as an English teacher at New Hampshire's Pinkerton Academy from 1906 to 1911, then at the New Hampshire Normal School (now Plymouth State University) in Plymouth, New Hampshire.
In 1912, Frost sailed with his family to Great Britain, living first in Glasgow before settling in Beaconsfield outside London.
His first book of poetry, A Boy's Will, was published the next year.
In England, he made some important friends, including Edward Thomas (a member of the group known as the Dymock Poets), T.E. Hulme, and Ezra Pound.
Surrounded by his peers, Frost wrote some of his best work while in England.
As World War I began, Frost returned to America in 1915 and bought a farm in New Hampshire, where he started a career of writing, teaching, and lecturing.
This family homestead was the Frosts' summer home until 1938, and is used today as The Frost Place, a museum and poetry conference site.
During the years 1916–20, 1923–24, and 1927–1938, Frost taught English at Amherst College in Massachusetts, notably encouraging his students to account for the sounds of the human voice in their writing.
For forty-two years – from 1921 to 1963 - Frost spent almost every summer and fall teaching at the Bread Loaf School of English of Middlebury College, at its mountain campus at Ripton, Vermont.
The college now owns and maintains his former Ripton farmstead as a national historic site near the Bread Loaf campus.
In 1921 Frost accepted a fellowship teaching post at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, where he resided until 1927; while there he was awarded a lifetime appointment at the University as a Fellow in Letters.
The Robert Frost Ann Arbor home is now situated at The Henry Ford Museum in Dearborn, Michigan.
Frost returned to Amherst in 1927.
In 1940 he bought a  plot in South Miami, Florida, naming it Pencil Pines; he spent his winters there for the rest of his life.
Harvard's 1965 alumni directory says Frost received an honorary degree there.
Although he never graduated from college, Frost received over 40 honorary degrees, including ones from Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge universities; and was the only person to receive two honorary degrees from Dartmouth College.
During his lifetime, the Robert Frost Middle School in Fairfax, Virginia, and the main library of Amherst College were named after him.
Frost was 86 when he spoke and performed a reading of his poetry at the inauguration of President John F. Kennedy on January 20, 1961.
He died in Boston two years later, on January 29, 1963, of complications from prostate surgery.
He was buried at the Old Bennington Cemetery in Bennington, Vermont.
His epitaph quotes a line from one of his poems: "I had a lover's quarrel with the world."
Frost's poems are analyzed in the Anthology of Modern American Poetry (Oxford University Press) where it is mentioned that behind a sometimes charmingly familiar and rural front, Frost's poetry frequently presents hopeless and hostile undertones which often are either unseen or unanalyzed.
One of the original collections of Frost materials is found in the Special Collections department of the Jones Library in Amherst, Massachusetts.
The collection consists of approximately twelve thousand items, including original manuscript poems and letters, correspondence, and photographs, as well as audio and visual recordings.

4 Ford Mustang for Stewart-Haas Racing in the Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series.
Harvick won the NASCAR Nationwide Series championship  and the Sprint Cup rookie of the year award in 2001.
In 2007, Harvick beat Mark Martin and Enrique Peña Nieto to win the Daytona 500.
In 2014 Harvick began racing for Stewart-Hass Racing.
Over the year, he was able to win a total of five races, and at the end of the year, he was named the NASCAR Sprint Cup Champion.
The Autodromo Internazionale Enzo e Dino Ferrari is an auto racing circuit near the Italian town of Imola,  east of Bologna and  east of the Ferrari factory in Maranello.
Often, it is simply called Imola.
The circuit is named after Ferrari's late founder Enzo, and his son Dino who had died in the 1950s.
Before Enzo Ferrari's death in 1988 it was called 'Autodromo Dino Ferrari'.
It was the host for the Formula One San Marino Grand Prix.
The Italian Grand Prix has been held in Italy since the start of Formula One.
The race at Imola was named after the nearby Republic of San Marion.
After a bad crash Monza in , Imola hosted the  Italian Grand Prix.
When Formula One visits Imola, it is considered the 'home circuit' of Ferrari and a large group of tifosi (Ferrari supporters) come out to support the local team.
Imola is one of the few major international circuits to run in an anti-clockwise (counter-clockwise) direction.
Other anti-clockwise circuits include Istanbul Park, Singapore's Marina Bay, Korean International Circuit, Autódromo José Carlos Pace, and Yas Marina Circuit.
Tamburello corner
Even with the addition of the chicanes, safety was a concern at the circuit.
One of the biggest worries was the high-speed, flat-out Tamburello corner.
Tamburello was very bumpy and had very little room between the track and a concrete wall.
The wall protected a creek that ran behind the corner.
In  San Marino Grand Prix, Nelson Piquet had an accident at the corner during practice.
He missed the race due to his injuries.
In the  San Marino Grand Prix, Gerhard Berger crashed his Ferrari at Tamburello after the front wing broke.
The crash was so heavy, the monocoque (the driver's compartment) split open.
The firefighters and medical personnel went to work quickly.
Because of fast response, Berger survived with only burns on his hands.
Berger only missed one race, the Monaco Grand Prix.
Other drivers, including Michele Alboreto and Riccardo Patrese also bad crashes at Tamburello corner.
They escaped without serious injury.
During the qualifying session on Saturday, Austrian Roland Ratzenberger crashed at the Villeneuve Corner.
He hit a concrete barrier wall almost head-on and was received a very bad head injury.
In the race on Sunday, 3-time World Champion Ayrton Senna hit a concrete wall at Tamburello Corner.
Senna was killed instantly.
In two unrelated accidents, several spectators and mechanics were also injured during the race.
In response to the deaths of Ratzenberger and Senna, changes were made to try to make the circuit safer.
The flat-out Tamburello corner was reduced in speed.
It was also made into a left-right sweeper.
A gravel trap was added to the limited space on the outside of the corner.
Villeneuve corner was also slowed down and a gravel trap added.
To retain some of the character of the old circuit, the slow chicane at Acqua Minerale was eliminated.
Many say that the new circuit configuration is not as good as it used to be as a result of the new chicanes at Tamburello and Villeneuve.
Another modification made was to the Variante Alta.
Variante Alta is at the top of the hill leading down to Rivazza.
It has the hardest braking point on the lap.
The kerbs were very high, and the drivers often hit them.
This often caused damage to the cars and sometimes lead to accidents.
Before the 2006 Grand Prix, the kerbs were lowered and the turn itself was tightened to reduce speeds.
Some had complained about the poor quality of the facilities (buildings and work areas) at Imola.
Following an FIA decision in August 2006, Imola did not host a Grand Prix in .
SAGIS is the company that owns the circuit.
They hoped that the race would be reinstated at the October 2006 meeting of the FIA World Motorsport Council.
They were planning renovations to the facility, but the reinstatement was denied.
The circuit has undergone major revisions.
The pitlane, pit garages and the final corners have been updated.
The final left-right chicane has been removed.
The run from Rivazza 2 to the first Tamburello chicane is flat-out.
This is more like the old version of the circuit.
The pitlane has been extended and reworked.
The old pit garages and paddock have been completely rebuilt.
The circuit hopes to rejoin the F1 calendar within the next few seasons.
The reconstruction has been designed by German track architect Hermann Tilke.
In June 2008, with most of the reconstruction work done, FIA gave the track "1T" rating, meaning that an official F1 test can be held there.
But still the track needs the "1" approvial to again host a Formula One race.
The track also hosted the 2008 World Touring Car Championship Race of Europe, on September 21, 2008.

An elastic collision is when two objects collide and bounce back with little or no deformation.
For example, two rubber balls bouncing together would be elastic.
Two cars hitting each other would be inelastic, as the cars crumple, and do not bounce back.
In a perfectly elastic collision (the simplest case), no kinetic energy is lost, and so the kinetic energy of the two objects after the collision is equal to their total kinetic energy before the collision.
Elastic collisions occur only if there is no net conversion of kinetic energy into other forms (heat, sound).
The other rule to remember when working with elastic collisions is that momentum is conserved.
One-dimensional Newtonian
Consider two particles, indicated by subscripts 1 and 2.
Let m1 and m2 be the masses, u1 and u2 be the velocities before the collision and v1 and v2 be the velocities after collision.
Using Conservation of Momentum to write one formula
Using Conservation of Energy to write a second formula
Putting those two equations together
These equations may be solved directly to find vi when ui are known or vice versa.
Ball 1: mass = 3 kg,       v = 4 m/s
Ball 2: mass = 5 kg,       v = -6 m/s
Ball 1: v = -8.5 m/s
Ball 2: v = unknown ( We'll represent it with v )
After doing multiplication, and then subtracting  from both sides, we get:
Summing the left side, then dividing by  gives us:
, and doing the final division gives us:
Multiplying both sides by , and then do all the required multiplications gives us:
Adding the numbers on the left, subtracting  from both sides, and dividing by  gives us:
Taking the square root of both sides gives us an answer of .
Unfortunately, we'd still need to use conservation of momentum to figure out whether  is positive or negative.

Its first radio program was sent January 3, 1925.
KFAX is registered in San Francisco, California.
"Don't Bother Me" is the first song written by George Harrison to appear on an album by The Beatles.
It was on the group's With the Beatles album in the UK, released in 1963, and on their Meet the Beatles!
album in the U.S., released in 1964.
Harrison wrote the song while sick in bed at a hotel room in Bournemouth, England, where the Beatles were playing some shows during the summer of 1963.
Harrison never regarded it highly, saying, "It was a fairly crappy song.
I forgot all about it completely once it was on the album."
He considered it an exercise in whether he could write a song, later saying, "at least it showed me that all I needed to do was keep on writing, and then maybe eventually I would write something good."
Harrison received a writing credit for two earlier songs, "In Spite of All the Danger" (McCartney/Harrison) and "Cry for a Shadow" (Harrison/Lennon).
Both were recorded by the Beatles but neither was released officially by the band until 1995's Anthology 1 compilation. "
Don't Bother Me" is considered Harrison's first song by most (including the composer himself).
The sullen mood and sad lyrics—"So go away, leave me alone, don't bother me"—were unusual for the Beatles at the time but would become characteristic for Harrison.
The song mostly stays in a minor key and achieves a thick sound through its double-tracked vocal, reverbed guitars, and busy drumming.
The Beatles recorded the song on 11 and 12 September 1963.
They were not satisfied with the version recorded on the 11th and did a remake on the 12th.
"Don't Bother Me" is one of several songs featured in A Hard Day's Night, during a scene where the Beatles dance at a nightclub while McCartney's grandfather gambles elsewhere.
At the end of the movie, it is noted as a Lennon/McCartney composition rather than a Harrison composition.
British singer Gregory Phillips released a version of "Don't Bother Me" as his third single.
George Harrison – double-tracked vocal, lead guitar
John Lennon – rhythm guitar, tambourine
Paul McCartney – bass, claves
Ringo Starr – drums, bongos
A negotiation is a formal discussion to reach agreement about an issue.
It is an important method to reduce conflict, and to get things done.
Two hostile nations both claim a piece of territory.
They may go to war over it.
Or, they may negotiate some agreement.
The agreement would be written down, and both governments would agree to keep the agreement.
A football club wishes to buy a player from another club.
A series of negotiations would take place between the clubs, the player and the player's agent.
If the negotiations succeed, the player gets moved.
In this case, and in many others, success is followed by a legal contract, or a court decision, which makes the agreement legal.
In less formal circumstances, a negotiation is just bargaining or haggling over, for example, money.

World Junior Champion
In 1973 Miles won the silver medal at the World Junior Chess Championship at Teesside, his first important event against international competition.
He won the title next year in Manila.
In 1976, Miles became the first ever FIDE Grandmaster born in the United Kingdom, narrowly beating Raymond Keene to the title.
Other English players had been acknowledged as true Grandmasters in the past.
Howard Staunton, the 19th century World Champion, was obviously a grandmaster.
Joseph Blackburne was also regularly described as a grandmaster.
Naturalised German-born Jacques Mieses was awarded the GM title in 1950; and Jonathan Penrose was awarded the title retrospectively.
For his achievement, Miles won a £5,000 prize.
Miles had a string of good results in the late 1970s and 1980s, and his success was a factor in the growth of strong British players shortly after Miles became a GM.
Miles won games against a number of former World Chess Champions, including Vasily Smyslov, Mikhail Tal, and Boris Spassky.
In 1980 at the European Team Championship in Skara, he beat reigning world champion Anatoly Karpov with black using the extremely unorthodox opening 1.
e4 a6!?,
the so-called English Defence.
Miles beat Karpov again three years later in Bath in a game that was part of the BBC's Mastergame series, but it was never shown on television due to a technicians' strike.
However, over their careers, Karpov won most of the other encounters.
Miles won the British Chess Championship only once, in 1982.
His prime time as a chess player was in the middle of the eighties.
In the January 1984 FIDE rating system, he ranked #18 in the world with a rating of 2599.
One of his best (and most controversial) results was his win at the Tilburg tournament in 1984.
The following year, he tied for first there with Robert Hübner and Viktor Korchnoi, playing several of his games while lying face-down on a table, having injured his back.
Playing on top board for England, Miles helped his team to an all-time best silver medal at the 1986 Chess Olympiad in Dubai.
But he was never able to qualify for the Candidates' series for the world title, and was overtaken by fellow Englishman Nigel Short in 1985.
Against Garry Kasparov Miles had little success, not winning a game against him, and losing a 1986 match in Basel against him by the overwhelming score of 5.5–0.5.
Following this encounter, Miles described Kasparov as a "monster with a thousand eyes who sees all".
After he was hospitalized because of a mental breakdown in late 1987, Miles moved to the United States.
He finished last in the 1988 US Championship, but continued to play there and had some good results.
In 1991, he played in the Championship of Australia, but he eventually moved back to England, and began to represent his home country again.
He was equal first at the very strong Cappelle-la-Grande Open in 1994, 1995 and 1997.
He also won the Capablanca Memorial in Cuba three times (1995, 1996, and 1999).
His last tournament victory was the 2001 Canadian Open Chess Championship in Sackville, New Brunswick.
The Miles Variation (1.d4 Nf6 2.c4 e6 3.Nf3 b6 4.Bf4) in the Queen's Indian Defence is named after him.
In his later years, Miles became grossly overweight, and suffered from diabetes.
A post mortem found that this contributed to his death by heart failure.
He had his disagreements with chess authorities and with his fellow English players, particularly Keene and Short.
Miles made accusations regarding payments that Keene had received from the British Chess Federation for acting as his second (assistant) in the 1985 Interzonal tournament in Tunis.
He was arrested in September 1987 in Downing Street, apparently under the belief that he had to speak to the then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher about the matter.
He was subsequently hospitalised for two months.
Writing in the Daily Telegraph in November 2003, Nigel Short claimed that "Tony was insanely jealous of my success, and his inability to accept that he was no longer Britain's number one was an indication of, if not a trigger for, his descent into madness".
Miles was also noted for his acerbic wit.
He attacked former World Champion Anatoly Karpov in an article entitled "Has Karpov lost his marbles?".

The Deepwater Horizon oil spill is also called the BP oil spill, the Gulf of Mexico oil spill, or the Macondo blowout.
It was an oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico, the largest marine oil spill in history.
The spill was caused by an oil gusher when the drilling machines exploded on April 20, 2010.
The explosion killed 11 workers and injured 17 people.
They first tried to fix the leak, but did not work.
On July 19, the leak was stopped by putting a cap on top of the broken well pipe.
About 7.9 million barrels (780×10 m) of crude oil spilled out before the well was fixed.
The amount of oil coming out of the broken well probably started at about 52,000 barrels per day (9,900 m/d) and gradually went down after that.
The spill damaged animal and plant habitats as well as the Gulf's fishing and tourism businesses.
Scientists also found oil underwater that could not be seen from the top.
People worked to protect hundreds of miles of beaches, wetlands, and estuaries along the northern Gulf coast.
The U.S. Government named British Petroleum (BP) as responsible.
The company has paid for cleaning up and other damage.
By the end of 2011, the U.S. Coast Guard’s Operational Scientific Advisory Team said that there were no more ocean areas needing special cleanup from the oil spill.
They were not sure of the condition of the shore.
Effects on the U.S. oil industry
On May 27, 2010, U.S. President Barack Obama temporarily stopped new drilling for offshore oil rigs.
He also made new safety rules to try to stop other oil spills from happening.
British Petroleum (BP Oil) owned the Deepwater Horizon oil rig.
This company was mostly responsible for the damage caused by the oil spill.
They paid out several billion dollars to help people who could not work after the oil spill and to pay for cleanup efforts.
Information in this section is from Upton, Harold F. The Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill and the Gulf of Mexico Fishing Industry.
Congressional Research Service Report for Congress, February 17, 2011, and the references it contains.
On May 3, 2010, The Gulf Coast Claims Center began to pay for emergency help to businesses and people (such as fishermen) who could not work because of the oil spill.
By the end of August, 2010, The Gulf Coast Claims Center had paid more than $395 million.
About one third of this money was paid to the fishing industry.
A By February, 2011, the GCCF had paid about $751 million to people in the business of fishing.
People will have three years to figure their costs and ask GCCF for payment.
BP also started a program, called the Vessels of Opportunity Program, to hire local people (who would have been fishing) to use their boats to help clean up the spilled oil.
However the program made little or no impact on the spill as the vessels were not fitted with recovery equipment.
There are more ways for those in the U.S. fishing industry to get paid back for money they lost because of the Gulf oil spill.
For example, the Oil Spill Liability Trust Fund was started after the 1989 Exxon Valdez oil spill to help people hurt by oil spills.
Another law, the Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act lets the U.S. government give help when the Secretary of Commerce sees that all the fishing has failed in one place.
Effects on the fishing business
On May 2, 2010, 12 days after the blow up and fire of the Deepwater Horizon, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) closed 6,817 square miles of the Gulf of Mexico to fishing.
The reason was to make sure that seafood that might be poisoned by the oil would not be sold and maybe make people sick.
The U.S. government closed large areas to fishing from the middle of the Atchafalaya Bay of Louisiana, across the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama, and as far as Panama City, Florida.
State waters were also closed to fishing in much of the same area.
The largest area closed to fishing was 88,522 sq.
miles (229,270 km2) on June 2, 2010.
By the end of November, 2010, most of the waters were opened to fishing again, with only 1041 sq miles (2697 km2) still closed.
However, there was still some oil residue to be found.
For example, tar balls were sometimes found in shrimper’s nets.
Short term environmental effects
Many animals and plants were killed by the Gulf oil spill.
Scientists found dead, oil-covered animals including as birds, fish, shrimp, and oysters.
Large, decaying fish covered in the thick, dark oil washed up on some beaches.
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) found 1,746 birds.
1,014 of these birds had oil on them, 997 were dead, and 749 were alive.
The NOAA also found 528 sea turtles, with 400 dead, and 128 alive.
The NOAA found 51 mammals, including dolphins, with 47 dead and 4 alive.
Some scientists cut open dead fish to look at the inside and found the oil was inside the gills and the heart.
Because fishing was stopped, many small fishing supply stores could not make money.
The fishing companies did not have enough fish and lost customers.
Normally, many people travel to this area to fish for fun.
Because of the oil spill, fewer people traveled there.
Therefore, travel businesses and people who help the visitors also lost money.
East of Mobile Bay, damage from oil spill cleanup crews and vehicles caused more damage to the fragile dune habitat than the oil spill itself.
Dune habitats can be destroyed by nothing more than light foot traffic and in no way can support the egress of hundreds of vehicles being deployed.
Despite large amounts of supporting evidence, BP still denies this and apparently has persons editing and or reverting Wikipedia articles in order to cover up collateral problems associated with the accident.
Environmental effects over time
Scientists have thought about how much the plants and animals in the Gulf of Mexico would be changed after the oil spill.
In general, chemicals in oil can hurt fish and shellfish.
In the early life stages, many kinds of fish grow near the shore.
Therefore, oil at the shore might change how many fish there are in future years.
Also, affected species are part of a food web or provide living areas for other kinds.
These things are possible, but there are not yet many actual data of how the fish and shellfish are doing after the oil spill.
Most of the shrimp grow in one year.
Therefore, changes in the number of shrimp caused by the Gulf oil spill will be known one or two years after the spill.
It takes years for many kinds of fish to grow large enough to keep for food.
Therefore, it will take years to know the effects of the Gulf oil spill on the very small fish.
The NOAA is still helping animals hurt by the Gulf oil spill.
However, not many more are being reported.
Instead, the NOAA is spending more time letting wildlife go back into the ocean.
For example, sea turtles that were saved from the oil are being let back into the wild ocean.
NOAA scientists on research boats have also been measuring whether it is now safe to eat fish from the Gulf (they have found that it is safe).
Counting done by Dauphin Island Sea Lab after the oil spill off the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama found that there were actually more of some kinds of fish a few months after the oil spill.
Some scientists think that the closing of fishing areas kept the total number of fish high in spite of the oil spill.
One-third of the oysters sold in the United States come from Louisiana.
However, the places where oysters grow have been hurt by recent hurricanes, higher than usual amounts of fresh water coming down the rivers (oysters need salt water) and also the Gulf oil spill.
The Louisiana Division of Wildlife and Fisheries have been working with scientists at universities on better ways to grow oysters.
Also, in June, 2011, more than 100 million oyster seeds and 500,000 baby oysters were put in test areas to help the oyster areas to grow back.
The US National Marine Fisheries Service thought that the 2011 brown shrimp harvest from waters off of Mississippi and Louisiana would be only slightly lower than usual.
It was a much better harvest than in 2010 after the oil spill.
Weather in the spring of 2011 was good for growing conditions for the brown shrimp.

Lithium hydroxide is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is LiOH.
It contains lithium and hydroxide ions.
Lithium hydroxide is a white solid.
It is totally white in colour.
It can be anhydrous (without extra water molecules attached) or hydrated (water added to it).
It dissolves in water to make a basic solution.
Lithium hydroxide is made by reacting lithium carbonate with calcium hydroxide.
A calcium carbonate solid is made and a lithium hydroxide solution is left behind.
It can also be made by reacting lithium with water or by reacting lithium oxide with water.
It is used in spaceships to absorb carbon dioxide.
It reacts with carbon dioxide to make lithium carbonate.
This prevents people from suffocating in a spaceship.
Lithium hydroxide is used to make lithium greases.
They are resistant to water and can be used in high or low temperatures.
It is used to transfer heat.
It can be used in electrolytes.
It is also used to prevent corrosion in some nuclear reactors.
It can be used to glaze ceramics and make cement.
Lithium hydroxide is corrosive, like the other alkali metal hydroxides.
It is also a little toxic because it has lithium in it.
It can burn skin.

A booby is a seabird in the genus Sula.
Boobies are large birds with long pointed wings and bills.
They hunt fish and squid by diving into the sea and chasing their prey underwater.
Facial air sacs under their skin help protect the impact with the water.
Boobies get their name because of their lack of fear of humans.
Early mariners named them boobies to denote their believed lack of intelligence.

The Nova Scotia Duck-Tolling Retriever is a breed of sport and hunting dog that originated in Canada in the 19th century to help hunters with attracting ducks within gunshot range and bringing the duck back to the hunter.
They stand 17-21 inches (43 to 53 cm) and weigh 43 to 51 pounds (19 to 23 kg).
They are the smallest of the retrievers.
Its thick coat of fur protects it from the icy cold water.
The Four Stages of Cruelty is a series of four printed engravings.
They were published by the English artist William Hogarth in 1751.
Every print is about a different part of life of Tom Nero, a fictional (not real) character.
The First stage of Cruelty shows Nero, when he is a child, hurting a dog.
In the Second stage of cruelty, Nero, who is an adult, beats his horse.
Then in Cruelty in perfection, he becomes a robber and murders his pregnant lover.
At last, in The reward of cruelty, his body is taken from the gallows after he is execution and is cut up into pieces by surgeons.
This last annotation refers directly to the act of parliament then under consideration and passed in 1752 which changed the law to require the bodies of executed murderers to be surrendered to the surgeons for use in anatomy classes and only buried after they had been anatomized.
The act was created in response to the increase in murders, especially  in the suburbs of London.
William Hogarth, who had been very unhappy at the acts of cruelty that he saw on the streets of London, printed the pictures for moral learning.
They were printed on cheap paper for poor people.
The pictures are rougher and more violent than Hogarth's other works, which usually have touches of humor.
He had felt he needed to do this to make people understand his message.
However, the pictures still have the small, careful details that Hogarth is famous for.
Like most of his other prints, such as Beer Street and Gin Lane, Hogarth wanted The Four Stages of Cruelty to be a warning against cruel and evil acts, and that it was easy for a small bully to become a criminal.
He wished to stop "that barbarous (mean) treatment of animals, the very sight of which renders (makes) the streets of our metropolis so distressing (terrible) to every feeling mind".
Hogarth loved animals.
When he painted a portrait of himself, he included his pug in the picture.
He also marked the graves of his dogs and birds at his home in Chiswick.
Hogarth was pleased with his pictures.
European Magazine reported that he said to a person who sold books named Mr. Sewell:
In his unfinished Apology for Painters he added:
In his 1817 book Shakespeare and His Times, Nathan Drake said that picture in the first plate changed the opinion of people about "throwing at cocks", and encouraged them to be firmer about stopping the people who did these things.
Some people, however, did not like the series very much.
Charles Lamb said that the series were not as good as Hogarth's other works.
Art historian Allan Cunningham also disliked the series:

Getting Things Done (GTD) is a way of organizing all the things a person has to do.
The method was made by David Allen.
He has written a book about this subject, with the title of his method.
The Getting Things Done method follows a simple rule: by writing down all tasks your mind is free to focus on the task at hand.
In this way, the mind does not have to remember all the things he still has to do.

Uncle Sam was first featured on a poster during World War I. It was used to get men and women to sign up for the army.
Citizenship and duty went together with Uncle Sam.
Uncle Sam is based on a real person named Samuel Wilson, who lived in Troy, New York.
He owned a meat packing business with his brother.
During the War of 1812, he supplied food for the American soldiers.
The food barrels had a “U.S.” on them for United States.
The troops knew Samuel was sending the food and called it “Uncle Sam’s.”
In 1813 Uncle Sam became the nickname for the US Federal Government.
People began to draw Uncle Sam in different ways.
