Potassium iodate is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is KIO3.
It has potassium and iodate ions in it.
Potassium iodate is a white solid.
It is similar to potassium bromate and potassium chlorate.
It reacts violently with many reducing agents.
Potassium iodate is made by reacting iodic acid with potassium hydroxide or by reacting iodine with potassium hydroxide.
This second reaction makes the iodide and the iodate.
Potassium iodate is used to add iodine to salt.
It is better than potassium iodide because it does not oxidize to iodine and evaporate like potassium iodide does.
It is sometimes used in flour just like potassium bromate.
It is also used for radiation protection.
A nuclear explosion can make radioactive iodine, which goes into the thyroid and can make cancer.
Eating potassium iodate makes the thyroid full of nonradioactive iodine and prevents radioactive iodine from going in.
It lasts longer than potassium iodide.
Sodium iodate is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is NaIO3.
It has sodium and iodate ions in it.
Sodium iodate is a colorless solid.
It is similar to sodium chlorate.
It reacts with sodium hypochlorite to make sodium periodate.
It can catch things on fire.
It is made by dissolving iodic acid or iodine in sodium hydroxide solution.
Iodine dissolving also makes sodium iodide.
Tuff (from Italian tufo) is a type of rock produced by the eruption of volcanoes.
It consists of consolidated  volcanic ash ejected from vents during a volcanic eruption.
Rock with more than 50% tuff is called tuffaceous.
The chemical and mineral composition of tuff varies according to what was in the molten magma.
Volcanic ash
In a volcanic eruption, Magma is blown apart by volcanic gases and steam.
The products are volcanic gases, lava, steam, and tephra (fragments).
The solid material produced and thrown into the air is called tephra, regardless of composition or fragment size.
If the pieces of ejecta are small, the material is called volcanic ash, defined as such particles less than 2 mm in diameter, sand-sized or smaller.
These particles are small, slaggy pieces of magma and rock that have been tossed into the air by outbursts of steam and other gases.
Breccias
True ashes of the kind described above.
Lumps of the old lavas and tuffs forming the walls of the crater, which have been torn away by the violent outbursts of steam.
Pieces of sedimentary rocks from the deeper parts of the volcano that were dislodged by the rising lava and are often baked and recrystallized by the heat.
In some great volcanic explosions nothing but materials of the second kind were emitted, as at Mount Bandai in Japan in 1888.
There have also been many eruptions in which the quantity of broken sedimentary rocks that mingled with the ash is very great.
These materials, in contrast to true ashes, tend to occur in angular fragments.
When they form a large part of the mass the rock is more properly a 'volcanic breccia' than a tuff.
A breccia is a rock with sharp-edged fragments in it.
Agglomerate
The ashes vary in size from large blocks twenty feet or more in diameter to the minutest impalpable dust.
The large masses are called 'volcanic bombs'; they have mostly a rounded, elliptical or pear-shaped form owing to rotation in the air before they solidified.
Many of them have ribbed or nodular surfaces, and sometimes they have a crust intersected by many cracks like the surface of a loaf of bread.
A tuff of recent origin is generally loose, but the older tuffs have usually been cemented together by pressure and the action of infiltrating water.
This makes rocks which, while not very hard, are strong enough to be used for building purposes (e.g. in the neighborhood of Rome).
Many volcanoes stand near the sea, and the ashes cast out by them are mingled with the sediments that are gathering at the bottom of the waters.
In this way ashy muds or sands or even in some cases ashy limestones are formed.
As a matter of fact most of the tuffs found in the older rock formations contain mixtures of clay, sand, and sometimes fossil shells, which prove that they were beds spread out under water.
Repeated eruptions
The showers of ashes often follow one another after longer or shorter intervals, and hence thick masses of tuff, whether of subaerial or of marine origin, have mostly a stratified character.
In the fine beds it is often developed in great perfection.
Welded tuff
Welded tuff is a pyroclastic flow of lava which was hot enough to weld together.
During welding, the glass shards and pumice fragments adhere together (necking at point contacts), deform, and compact together.
A hot lava flow welded by heat can be highly voluminous, such as the Lava Creek Tuff erupted from Yellowstone Caldera in Wyoming 640,000 years ago.
Lava Creek Tuff was at least 1000 times as large as the deposits of the May 18, 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens.
It had a Volcanic Explosivity Index (VEI) of 8—greater than any eruption known in the last 10,000 years.
Basaltic tuffs
Basaltic tuffs are occur widely.
They are found in Skye, Mull, Antrim and other places, where there are tertiary volcanic rocks; in Scotland, Derbyshire and Ireland among the carboniferous strata; and among the still older rocks of the Lake District, southern uplands of Scotland and Wales.
Basaltic tuffs are black, dark green or red in colour.
They vary greatly in coarseness.
Often submarine, they may contain shale, sandstone, grit and other sedimentary material, and are occasionally fossiliferous.
Recent basaltic tuffs are found in Iceland, the Faroe Islands, Jan Mayen, Sicily, Sandwich Islands, Samoa, etc.
Copper(I) iodide, also known as cuprous iodide, is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is CuI. It has copper and iodide ions in it.
The copper is in its +1 oxidation state.
Copper(I) iodide is a white solid.
It easily turns tan or brown.
The iodide easily oxidizes to iodine.
Copper does not form a stable copper(II) iodide; copper(II) iodide breaks down right away to make copper(I) iodide and iodine.
It dissolves in concentrated iodides like potassium iodide.
When it is diluted, it makes copper(I) iodide again.
It can be made by reacting iodine and copper in concentrated hydroiodic acid.
Another way would be to react copper(II) sulfate and potassium iodide.
This makes copper(II) iodide which as said before breaks down right away to make iodine and copper(I) iodide.
It is also used to make clouds rain.
It is used to make nylon resistant to heat.
It can be used to put iodine to foods.
Copper(I) bromide, also known as cuprous bromide, is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is CuBr.
It has copper and bromide ions in it.
Copper(I) bromide is a colorless solid.
It turns green when in air.
Copper(I) bromide is made by reacting copper(II) bromide with any sulfite and any bromide salt.
This reaction makes hydrogen bromide gas.
It is used to make organic compounds that have copper in them.
Copper(II) bromide, also known as cupric bromide, is a chemical compound.
Its chemical formula is CuBr2.
The copper is in its +2 oxidation state.
Copper(II) bromide is a grayish-black solid.
Most copper(II) compounds, except for the oxide, are bright blue or green.
It can be reduced to copper(I) bromide.
It can be made by dissolving copper(II) oxide in hydrobromic acid.
It can also be made by reacting copper and bromine.82
Copper(II) bromide is used in lasers.
It is also used to add bromide ions to other chemical compounds in organic chemistry.
Fading Echoes is the second book in the fourth Warriors series, Omen of the Stars.
It includes another point of view in the story, which is Ivypaw, Dovepaw's sister.
Dovepaw's story
Dovepaw learns to hone her ability to sense farther than any cat around the lake, while her bond with Ivypaw dwindles in the middle of the story, due to Dovepaw not being allowed to share her secret with any cat except for Lionblaze, Jayfeather, and eventually Firestar.
The reason for her being able to tell Firestar is this.
She senses Sedgewhisker, one of the cats who had gone on the journey with, and her patrol get attacked by dogs.
Sedgewhisker was the only cat hurt, so she and Ivypaw go to see her, but they get caught, resulting in them being escorted back to their camp.
Firestar realizes that Dovepaw, Lionblaze, and Jayfeather are the Three in the prophecy that the series is centering around.
Tigerheart and Dovepaw try to make friends, but can not as their duties keep them apart, except for the Gathering.
Even then, he does not reveal what he was doing on ThunderClan territory.
He gets close, though.
Later, Dovepaw saves most of the Clan from injuries by sensing a tree when it is about to fall.
The Clan evacuates, but Longtail gets killed and Briarpaw, later Briarlight, gets her spine broken.
Jayfeather's story
Jayfeather reads Mothwing's mind (that's part of his power) and discovers that StarClan had made a good choice of RiverClan medicine cat after all, then is cornered by Lionblaze, who asks about the stick Jayfeather had broken.
He tells the story of the stick, then they talk about the prophecy.
Later, Dovepaw lets it slip (the prophecy), and then the Three and Firestar talk about the prophecy, and they then can work with him.
After this conversation, Jayfeather discovers Tigerheart on ThunderClan territory, then starts to question him, trying to get answers.
He soon must care for Briarlight after a tree falls on her.
He goes to see Littlecloud for help, and discovers that she has lost all feeling in her hind legs because the tree fell on her spine.
Later, he tries to treat a perhaps deadly cough from her not being able to walk properly.
Meanwhile, he discovers that some cats in the Clans are being trained by Dark Forest cats, meaning that the Three would soon have to fight the Dark Forest cats and their army.
Lionblaze's story
Lionblaze trains his apprentice, Dovepaw, when she senses a WindClan patrol being attacked by dogs.
The next day, Dovepaw makes a big blunder (mistake) and lets slip how she knew about the patrol being attacked.
Firestar discovers then that they are the Three.
After the Tigerheart on ThunderClan territory incident, Lionblaze soon must help with the falling tree.
He helps to rebuild the camp with the materials that are now available with the tree having fallen.
Ivypaw's story
Ivypaw's story begins when she starts having dreams.
She is unknowingly being trained to be in the Dark Forest's army, and she gets stronger and quicker.
She has an argument with Dovepaw, and their bond starts to weaken.
Much later, she has a "sign" that ShadowClan is going to take the territory up to Jayfeather's herbs, and then the stories all combine.
Combined story
Ivypaw, Dovepaw, and Lionblaze all join into the major fight that happens as a result of Ivypaw, and the tree climbing techniques come in handy for the battle.
ThunderClan wins the fight, but each Clan loses a life.
Firestar loses his semifinal (second to last) life.
Russetfur dies.
Starlight is the fourth book in the second series of Warriors, The New Prophecy.
This book, and all following books in this series, takes place around a fictional lake.
The lake has a small island in the southern end of it, and it has moorland, pine forest, deciduous forest (trees that lose their leaves in the winter), marsh, and some wooded area with more streams.
Leafpool
Leafpaw has to care for her Clan along with Cinderpelt, and she has a medium part in the novel.
She stays with the rest of the Clans when the journeying cats went around the lake, finding some suitable territory.
She does find the Moonpool in the middle of the book, earning her her name, Leafpool.
Also, she loves Crowfeather (which is forbidden, as Leafpool is a medicine cat and Crowfeather is a cat in another Clan), and eventually gets caught in the next book.
But back to the point.
Leafpool discovers that Brambleclaw had been talking with Hawkfrost and Tigerstar in dreams.
She wonders if he is loyal to the Clan.
Squirrelflight
Squirrelpaw gets her name sooner than Leafpool, and her name is Squirrelflight.
She goes around the lake, and she is the one to find an ideal camp for ThunderClan.
Once the Clan reaches the camp, Squirrelflight starts liking Ashfur instead, due to Brambleclaw speaking with his halfbrother at Gatherings.
She, like Leafpool, wonders if Brambleclaw is loyal to ThunderClan.
Eventually, though, they come to like each other again.
Brambleclaw
Brambleclaw goes around the lake.
Later, he starts having dreams.
In those dreams, he talks with Tigerstar and Hawkfrost.
Michael Elliot "Mike" Epps (born November 18, 1970) is an American actor.
His movies include Next Friday, Friday After Next, and Open Season 2.
Epps' trademark is a voice similar to Martin Lawrence in the original Open Season.
He replaced Lawrence as the voice of Boog in Open Season 2, but was replaced by Matthew J. Munn in Open Season 3.
A proposition is a term in philosophy and logic.
It is a statement which has a truth value, meaning it can be proved to be true or false.
For a proposition to be valid, it must be possible to prove the proposition is either true or false.
Many teachers and students of logic use the term statement and proposition to mean the same thing.
Propositions are also often represented by capital letters such as ,  and .
It is possible to express the same proposition in many way.
Proposition are only concerned with actual meaning, not the way the proposition is expressed.
Propositions can look different, yet still mean the same thing.
When two different propositions mean the same thing, they are said to be synonymous, meaning each statement has the same meaning.
For example, "Snow is white" (in English) and "Schnee ist weiß" (in German) are different sentences, because they are written in different languages.
However, they mean exactly the same thing: snow is white.
No matter what language the statement is written in, it will mean the same thing.
As a result, these statements are synonymous.
In Aristotelian logic, a proposition is a specific kind of sentence that confirms or denies an action or predicate took place through a subject.
Aristotelian propositions take forms like "All men are mortal" and "Socrates is a man".
In each sentence, the subject (men, Socrates) has a status (are mortal, is a man) which can be regarded as true or false.
In logical positivism, a proposition whose truth value cannot possibly be decided is meaningless (Quine, for instance, believes that propositions generally have no clear criterion of identity).
For example, statements about the existence of deities cannot be proved under logical positivism.
Because the statements have no truth value, a logical positivist would consider propositions about deities (such as "God exists" or "God does not exist") to have no logical meaning.
Karst is a geological system of rocks where water has eroded (dissolved) the bedrock.
If it is very extensive, karst can be a geographical or topographical feature.
It is classed as a badland if it difficult to travel through the environment, which it often is.
Almost always, karst is formed in carbonate rocks, such as limestone or dolomite.
Since carbonate sedimentary rocks are very common, karst areas occur all over the world.
Many karst regions display distinctive surface features, with sinkholes being the most common.
However, karst surface features may be absent where the soluble rock is mantled (covered), such as  by a non-soluble rock strata on top of the carbonate strata.
Some karst regions include thousands of caves, and the water is generally underground.
The world's largest karst area is the Nullarbor Plain, part of the area of flat, almost treeless, dry country of southern Australia.
It is on the Great Australian Bight coast with the Great Victoria Desert to its north.
It is the world's largest single exposure of limestone bedrock, and occupies an area of about .
At its widest point, it stretches about  from east to west across the border region between South Australia and Western Australia.
Many parts of the world suffer from sinkholes which form when karsts are underground.
Beneath the flat surface of the land in Florida, Guatemala City and elsewhere are vast systems of limestone.
Water running through the limestone is dissolving the limestone away, leaving huge caverns.
Without warning, huge holes appear in the surface, causing great damage.
Practically the whole of Florida is sitting on a gigantic karst system, as are several countries in Central America.
The area round Tampa is especially at risk, and there is a huge karst system under Mexico City.
According to a senior geochemist, there are as many as 15,000 sinkholes in Illinois.
The Qattara Depression in Egypt is part of the Libyan Desert.
It is roughly 50 miles (80km) by 75 miles (121km) in surface area.
It is the world's largest natural sinkhole.
It lies below sea level and is covered with salt pans, sand dunes and salt marshes.
PubMed Central is a free database of scientific literature in biomedical and life sciences.
It is on the Internet.
It grew from the online Entrez PubMed biomedical literature search system.
PubMed Central was developed by the U.S. National Library of Medicine (NLM) as an online archive of biomedical journal articles.
It was started in 2000.
As of 2021, it had over 7 million science papers in it.
All the words in the PubMed Central articles can be read freely.
Some publishers, though, do not show their articles for some time after they publish them on paper (usually about six months).
PubMed Central was started in 2000.
At first, it only had papers from Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences and Molecular Biology of the Cell.
People can add older papers to PubMed Central.
The oldest papers in PubMed Central are from the 1700s.
As of September 2004, PubMedCentral, PubMed, and related NLM services had about 1,300 hits every second, and gave 1.3 terabytes of data every day.
The Library of Congress and the British Library showed support for the National Library of Medicine (NLM).
It has also been popular with journal service providers.
PubMed Central and PubMed
PubMed Central is different from PubMed.
The regular PubMed has papers' titles and abstracts, and PubMed central has the whole paper.
Scientists call this "full text."
PMCID
The PubMed Central Identifier (PMCID) is an ID tag for papers written by scientists and doctors.
It is like an ISBN is for books.
It shows the reader where to find the paper in the PubMed Central database.

The Medical University of Innsbruck (German: Medizinische Universität Innsbruck) is a university in Innsbruck, Austria.
It used to be one of the four historical faculties of the Leopold-Franzens-Universität Innsbruck, but it became an independent (by itself) university in 2004.
The medical tradition dates back long before the university began.
The first hospital began in the silver-mining city of Schwaz nearby in 1307.
Because people grew as years went by, a medical faculty was added to the university, begun in 1669 by Emperor Leopold I, making it the first of its kind in the Alpine region.

Dolomite is the name of a sedimentary carbonate rock and a mineral, both composed of calcium magnesium carbonate CaMg(CO3)2
As a mineral, it is found in crystals.
Dolomite rock  (or 'dolostone') is mostly made of the mineral dolomite.
Limestone that is partially replaced by dolomite is referred to as dolomitic limestone.
In the old U.S. geologic literature it is called magnesian limestone.
Dolomite was first described in 1791 for exposures in the Dolomite Alps of northern Italy.
Gravel is small, loose, rock particles.
It is any loose rock that is larger than 2 mm (0.079 in) in its smallest dimension (about 1/12 of an inch) and no more than 64 mm (2.5 in).
Small gravel is composed of granules (>2 to 4 mm/0.079 to 0.16 in).
Large gravel is called pebbles (>4 to 64 mm/0.16 to 2.5 in).
Gravel and sand are used for road surfaces, and for cement and Tarmac.
Mixtures of gravel and sand mixed with various crushed material, are known as aggregate in the trade.
This is used for drainage in the basement of roads, and other purposes.
Mixture of stones and resin is also used to pave footpaths, driveways, etc.
This mixture is known as Resin Bonded Gravel.
Natural gravel comes from ancient beaches which have not consolidated (turned into solid rock).
In effect, beaches from (for instance) the Jurassic are dug up in quarries.
The material is then sifted into size categories.
The gravel and sand is then sold on to engineering companies.
Most natural sand and gravel is silica, SiO2, in its chemistry.
This is very hard-wearing.
However, if the material is originally in hard rock form, then it is first crushed.
This enables the industry to offer other materials such as granite or limestone, originally solid rock, as gravel.
A cornet is a brass instrument that is similar to the trumpet.
It is part of the higher-brass family, together with trumpets and French horns.
People have been using spices for thousands of years.
Often they wanted ones that didn't grow near them, so they got them from far away.
One of the biggest spice routes was a route between Asia and Europe.
Only a few spices grew in Europe, so the others had to be brought from Asia.
People made a route to go from Europe to Asia to buy spices.
The route was very difficult and so the spices were expensive.
People tried to find ways cheaper than the spice route, including going the other way around the world.
This made the Age of Discovery, when they found places that they didn't know about, such as the Western Hemisphere.
Countries traded spices for gold and other things.
They did this so they could get new spices or gain money and gold by selling their own.
Sometimes people traded the spices because their country is running out of that certain spice.
Nuclear winter is a theory stating the possible effects of the use of nuclear weapons during a nuclear war; which could include reduced sunlight, extreme cold, and the presence of large amounts of smoke and soot in the Earth's atmosphere.
Mesons are incredibly small subatomic particles that are made of one quark and one antiquark.
Antiquarks are the antimatter counterpart of a regular quark.
Since antimatter quarks have the opposite spin of regular quarks, their spins can cancel each other out, which forms a particle similar to a Higgs Boson.
The name meson comes from Greek "mesos", meaning middle.
This is because the masses of the first mesons discovered were between the mass of light particles like electrons, called leptons, and heavy particles like protons, called baryons.
Mesons' spin
Mesons are hadrons, which simply means that they are made of quarks.
Since quarks have different fractional charges, mesons can have a charge.
However, the charges of the quarks may cancel out, forming an uncharged meson.
The rest of the hadron family are known as baryons, which are made of three quarks.
Since quarks all have a spin of 1/2, three of them will never add up to an integer spin.
An integer spin is simply 0, 1, or 2.
Particles with an integer spin are called bosons, which obey Bose-Einstein Statistics.
This means that more than one boson can actually be in the same point in space at the same time.
However, a meson is made of one quark and one antiquark, which each do not have an integer spin.
Particles which do not have an integer spin have a spin of 1/2 or 3/2.
These particles with 1/2 spin are called Fermions because they obey Fermi-Dirac Statistics.
This means that no more than one fermion can be in the same point in space at the same time.
All known baryons and quarks (and antiquarks) are fermions, and all mesons are bosons.
This can get very confusing because this means that more than one meson can exist in the same point in space at the same time, but the quarks that make up mesons cannot exist in the same point in space at the same time.
Creation of Mesons
The most common natural way that we find mesons are through the interactions of cosmic rays with matter.
This process can be duplicated in particle accelerators, which smash high-energy quarks and antiquarks.
However, the mesons are very unstable and quickly turn into other particles.
Charged Mesons can decay into electrons and neutrinos, and uncharged mesons can decay into photons.
Since antimatter is destroying matter, a large amount of energy is given off.
The energy follows the equation E=mc2.

The Meccan suras are the suras that Muslims believe were shown to Muhammad when he was in Mecca.
They are usually shorter than the Medinan suras and are usually placed after them in the Qur'an.
Christopher Edward "Chris" Hansen (born September 13, 1959) is an American television personality most famously known for his role on Dateline NBC.
He was on a part of the show called To Catch a Predator, where he tries to catch people who are trying to meet minors aged 13–15 on the Internet for sexual activity.
Hansen has done other investigative reporting, and has won seven Emmy Awards for his reporting.
He went to Brother Rice High School in Bloomfield Hills Michigan.
Hansen became a reporter for Lansing NBC affiliate WILX in 1981 during his senior year at Michigan State University.
He then reported for WFLA in Tampa, various radio stations and newspapers in Michigan, WXYZ in Detroit, and WDIV as an investigative reporter and anchor from 1988.
In May 1993, Hansen joined NBC News as a correspondent for the newsmagazine Now with Tom Brokaw and Katie Couric.
Hansen's notable work for Dateline includes coverage of the Columbine massacre, the Oklahoma City terrorist attack, the Unabomber and the TWA Flight 800 disaster; as well as investigative reports on Indian child slave labor and on counterfeit prescription drug sales in China.
Hansen was responsible for most of Dateline's coverage of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, as well as stories on terrorist groups and the operations of Al-Qaeda.
He exposed how a group linked to Osama Bin Laden had tried to buy missiles and nuclear weapons components, and he also worked on an exclusive report detailing an attempted 1994 terrorist attack in France.
His series on the lack of security at airports resulted in the Federal Aviation Administration opening an investigation and ultimately revising its policies.
Hansen was born in Chicago, Illinois but grew up in northern Detroit suburbs of West Bloomfield and Birmingham.
In an interview with the Lansing City Pulse, Hansen said that watching the FBI and police investigate the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa when he was fourteen inspired him to want to become a journalist.
He graduated from Michigan State University College of Communication Arts and Sciences in 1981 with a bachelor's degree in telecommunications.
He is married to Mary Joan Hansen; the couple has two sons.
The family resides in Connecticut.
Metriacanthosaurids were a family of carnivorous theropod dinosaurs.
They tended to be large predators, and some were 30 ft (10 m) long.
Metriacanthosaurids are carnosaurs.
At first they were classified in the Megalosauridae or Allosauridae, now they are put in their own family.
A gigantic tooth, which may come from a giant metriacanthosaurid, was described recently (2008).
The Metriacanthosauridae is a monophyletic group.
Cladistically it includes Metriacanthosaurus parkeri and species closer related to Metriacanthosaurus than to Allosaurus fragilis, Carcharodontosaurus saharicus, or to birds.
These theropods are close to the ancestors of the allosaurs.
Metriacanthosauridae is often referred to as "Sinraptoridae", but Metriacanthosauridae is the correct name under ICZN rules, since Metriacanthosaurus was the first member of the family to be described and named.

A wedding dress or wedding gown is the clothing worn by a bride during a wedding ceremony.
The color, style and ceremonial importance of the gown can depend on the religion and culture of the bride.
The origin of wedding dress is from the Roman Empire period.
When the Christian religion spread to Europe, wedding ceremony was held the church and a bride wore a wedding dress.
In the Middle Ages, all most wedding dresses were black with white veil because of religion.
It changed white dress and veil in the 1840s.
This style of dress spread to Asia when Europen culture came there.
Types of dress
Slender line is a dress which is tight along a person's body.
The Mermaid line is similar to slender line.
It looks like a mermaid.
A line looks like an "A" from the waist to foot.
Like these, today there are so many kinds of wedding dress.
The veil is the most popular decoration.
It is used for covering the face or head of women.
There are special white gloves.
People use various length glove suiting their dress.
A woman usually carries a small bunch of flowers, called a bouquet.
The Medinan suras are the suras that Muslims believe were shown to Muhammad after his journey (the hijra) from Mecca to Medina.
They are usually longer than Meccan suras and are usually placed before them in the Qur'an.

The belemnites are a monophyletic group of superorder status, called the Belemnoidea.
There are four orders.
The belemnites evolved from nautiloids, which are the basal group of cephalopods.
Well-formed belemnite guards can be found in rocks dating from the Mississippian (or Lower Carboniferous).
Belemnites were numerous during the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods, and their fossils are abundant in Mesozoic marine rocks, often with their cousins the ammonites.
The belemnites and ammonites become extinct at the end of the Cretaceous period.
Like some modern squid, belemnite arms carried a series of small hooks for grabbing prey.
Belemnites were efficient carnivores that caught small fish and other marine animals with their arms and ate them with their beak-like jaws.
Ancient ink
Fossils which preserve the soft parts of belemnites show that, like many modern cephalopods, they had an ink sac, hard beaks, tail fins and large eyes.
Well-preserved specimens show evidence of muscular fibers in the mantle, indicating that they were powerful swimmers like modern squids.
In 1826 Mary Anning discovered what appeared to be a chamber containing dried ink inside a belemnite  fossil.
She showed it to her friend Elizabeth Philpot who was able to revive the ink with water, and use it to illustrate some of her own ichthyosaur fossils.
Other local artists were soon doing the same when more fossilised ink chambers were discovered.
Anning noted how closely the chambers resembled the ink sacs of modern squid and cuttle fish, which she had dissected to better understand the anatomy of fossil cephalopods.
This led William Buckland to publish that Jurassic belemnites had used ink for defence just as many modern cephalopods do.

Cheonggyecheon is a stream bisecting down town Seoul, South Korea.
This stream has a length of 5.84 km(its trail-12.04 km long) and its greatest width is 84m. This stream is famous for restoration.
It was a sewer of Seoul in the Joseon Dynasty.
For half a century, industrial era after the Korean War, it had been entombed by pavement and had been a highway.
After the restoration, Cheonggycheon has become an ecological park.
The restoration of Cheonggyecheon took three years spending almost $400 million.
Since its opening in 2005, hundreds of thousands of people have visited Cheonggyecheon with friends and family.
Many interesting events have been often held at Cheonggyecheon as well.
It was originally called 'Gaecheon(Hangul:개천, Hanja:開川 ).'
The Cheonggyecheon used to be a naturally formed stream before the Joseon Dynasty designated Seoul as its capital.
This stream caused a flood and inundated private houses in full spate.
In ordinary times, it was unsanitary because of standing sewage therein.
Therefore, King Taejong, the third king of the Joseon Dynasty, firstly beginned river training work by starting construction work for an open channel.
After that, King Yeongjo, the 21st king of the Joseon Dynasty, conducted the overhaul of the stream in earnest by dredging the stream, building stone banks and changing a waterway.
Due to this construction, the curved waterway of the stream became straight one at last.
During the reign of King Sunjo and King Kojong, the overhaul of the stream was continued.
There were 24 bridges over the stream(now 22 bridges).
During the Japanese colonial period, it came to get called "Cheonggye" as it is called today, supposedly from 1914, when the colonialists rearranged stream names in Korea.
In this perion, the large-scale dredging of this stream was planned in terms of a modern urban planning by Japan but it wasn't carried out because of lack of funds.
Therefore, the urban improvement project was neglected.
As a result, by Korea’s independence from Japan in 1945, the Cheonggyecheon was severely contaminated with wastes from flimsy shacks built alongside of the stream.
It had a fetid smell as well.
In terms of Seoul's appearance and sanitation, the then Cheonggyecheon was a serious problem.
The easiest way of solving this promblem was covering over the stream with concrete.
In 1958, finally, the work to cover it up with concrete started as quickly as possible by August 1958.
In addition, a 5.6 km-long, 16 m-wide elevated highway was completed over the stream in August 1971 after four working years.
About 40 years after covering over the stream with concrete, Seoul city had resuscitated the stream since July 2003.
After $386 milion recovery project, Cheonggyecheon was born again as a haven for wildlife as well as pedestrians in September 2005

The Blue Lias is a formation of rocks mostly in south west England and parts of south Wales.
It is part of the Jurassic Coast World Heritage Site.
These alternations are caused by short-term climatic variations, thought to be caused by Milankovitch cycles.
The blue/grey colour is given by iron pyrite.
A bit higher, these limestone-mudstone alternations change into a clay member.
The deposition of a clay-rich mudstone member shows it was laid down in a deeper marine environment.

Photographic film is able to record images.
In order to make these images visible, the film needs to undergo a number of chemical processes.
The result of these processes will either be negatives or slides.
This is generally known as developing.
Different films need different processes.
The process for black and white film is different from that for slide film.
In general, the process involves the following steps:
Making the image visible.
The chemicals to do this are known as developer.
Making the visible image fixed, so it changes no longer.
There are different kinds of films.
The most common of these is film negative.
With negative film, all colors are reversed.
This is corrected in an additional step of making a print of each image.
So called reversal film, which is used for diapositives, directly produces positive images (which are framed to become a slide).
Mineral water is water obtained from rocks.
It is often collected from springs or from underground rivers when they emerge from the rocks.
Mineral waters are very clean and have no germs in it.
Because they have been held in rocks for a long time they often contain chemicals that have come from the rocks.
This chemicals can give the water an interesting taste.
Some mineral waters may be good for health.
Because some underground water comes to the surface from very deep layers in the earth, it can also have carbon dioxide gas dissolved in it.
This can make the water fizzy.
