A tanning bed is a device that emits ultraviolet radiation to give people a tan (make their skin darker).
Like the sun, a tanning bed can also cause a sunburn if the person stays in too long.
There are many kinds of tanning beds, but most look like the one in the photo.
Tanning beds became popular in Europe and America because of the work of Friedrich Wolff around 1979.
He patented his design and charged others to use his ideas.
His company, "Wolff Systems" does not build the tanning beds, they research and design for the tanning lamp.
Some of the early adopters of the Wolff technology include ETS, Inc., SCA, Sun Industries, Inc., Montego Bay, Sunal.
Later, Friedrich sold Wolff Systems to his brother Jorg Wolff, who was the founder of Cosmedico, Ltd., another pioneer in the tanning industry.
Tanning beds use a special fluorescent lamps (16 to 32 per tanning bed) that creates visible light and ultraviolet light.
Like all fluorescent lights, they use a ballast system to limit the electricity going to each lamp, which is most often 100 watts per lamp.
The tanning beds use a special acrylic, or clear shield over the lamps.
Most clear plastics will block ultraviolet, but this special type of plastic lets most of the ultraviolet light pass through.
Most tanning beds also have a cooling fan system, to cool the electronics inside the tanning bed and keep it from getting too hot.
All tanning beds have a timer, a device to limit the amount of time the person is exposed to the ultraviolet light.
After a few minutes, the timer makes the bed turn off.
Benefits and risks
Like the sun, tanning beds help your skin to produce vitamin D due to the exposure to the UV (ultraviolet light).
Both the sun and tanning beds can damage your skin if you stay exposed for too long.
Getting too much UV, or many sunburns can cause skin cancer, including melanoma, which can be deadly.
There is a lot of controversy due to the risks.
Most countries have many laws and rules that regulate tanning beds.
It can give you burns.

Barkly is a very small town in Victoria, Australia, about 180 kilometres northwest of Melbourne.
It is located near the junction of the roads from Landsborough to Redbank, and from Frenchmans to St Arnaud.
It is close to the western side of the St Arnaud Range National Park.
The area was first called the Navarre Diggings after gold was found in June 1859 by a group led by James Law (1827-1910).
It was about six miles from the Navarre township.
This caused a gold rush and there were soon about 700 people on the diggings.
At the peak of the rush, there were over 6000 people in the area digging for gold.
James Law, who had come to Australia from Scotland, was given a reward of 150 pounds for being the first person to find gold.
Other members of his group, John Fewster, W.R. Marshall and George Mill also were rewarded.
The name was changed to Barkly on 1 November 1861, after the Governor of Victoria, Sir Henry Barkly.
The name was changed by the local gold warden, Mr. Warden Alley, a government official in charge of the diggings.
A school was started, the Barkly Common School.
A cemetery, now called the Pioneer Cemetery, was begun close to the original diggings.
The town of Barkly developed about two miles from this area, and a new cemetery was opened.
Barkly has a small Anglican church, a hall, and a few houses.
The school has been closed and the buildings removed.
There is a rose and lavender farm which is open to the public during the year.
A headstone was placed on James Law's grave on 5 May, 1985.
In 1996 a memorial stone was placed at the site of the first gold discovery.

Ice sledge hockey and ice hockey differences
Team is composed of 5 players and one goalkeeper.
This is same as in normal hockey.
In each team could be maximum 5 healthy players.
In one moment there could be maximum 2 of them.
The benches and penalty bench are in the ice
Ice rink is same too.
Hockey rinks  follow the International Ice Hockey Federation specifications, which are given in metric units (the Imperial units given are approximations): 60 m × 30 m (197 ft × 98.5 ft) with a corner radius of 8.5 m (28 ft).
The distance from the end boards to the nearest goal line is 4 m (13 ft).
The distance from each goal line to the nearest blue line is 17⅔ m (58 ft).
The distance between the two blue lines is also 17⅔ m (58 ft).
There are two widths of lines painted on a hockey rink: thick lines – 12 in (30 cm) wide – and thin lines – 2 in (5 cm) wide.
Difference is in player´s equipment.
Players have full-face cover.
Normal hockey is played for 3 times 20 minutes.
In sledge hockey it is from 12 to 20 minutes.
In normal hockey there are 3 referees.
There are 2 in sledge hockey.
Ice sledge hockey equipment
Sled - Each player has his own sled.
This sled is designed on his body.
Stick - The sticks for ice sledge hockey players have a blade curved as in normal ice hockey.
On the other side it has six to eight metal teeth for maneuvering and propulsion.
Movement is done by using the metal teeth.
The metal teeth cannot be longer than 1 centimeter beyond the stick, to help stop damage to the ice or injure of other players.

The country of Azerbaijan is a republic, with the President of Azerbaijan as the head of state, and the Prime Minister of Azerbaijan as head of government.
The Constitution of Azerbaijan makes the President the Commander-in-Chief of the Azerbaijani Armed Forces and the President of Azerbaijan has more powers than the Prime Minister of Azerbaijan and the National Assembly of Azerbaijan.
The President is directly elected by the people for a five-year term and can be re-elected without any limit.
The President cannot be put on trial or put in prison during his term.
The President can call a national referendum for important issues for the country, such as changing the articles of the Constitution, because a referendum is necessary for changing the Constitution.
The Constitution also allows the President to be a member of a political party.
The current President of Azerbaijan is Ilham Aliyev.
The list includes all the presidents that lead the country after it became independent in 1991 when the Soviet Union collapsed the same year.

Bullet-proof glass, or bullet-resistant glass, is a type of strong, clear material that resists bullets.
Complete protection against all weapons is not possible.
It is usually made from two or more types of material, one hard and one soft.
The softer layer makes the glass more elastic, so it can flex (bend) instead of shatter.
There must be a clear view through the glass.
Bulletproof glass varies in thickness from three-quarters of an inch to three inches.
A popular method is stick a special plastic film to the inner surface of ordinary glass.
This 'security laminate' bonds to the glass with an adhesive.
This gives a protection similar to the multi-layered bullet-resistant glass.
Transparency is better, tint-free; thickness and weight is reduced as much as 50-70%.
The laminate can be stuck on to existing windows; this a called a 'retrofit'.
The plastic provides little bullet-resistance.
Glass, much harder than plastic, flattens the bullet.
The plastic deforms, absorbing energy and (perhaps) stopping the bullet.
The ability of the plastic layer to stop projectiles is directly proportional to its thickness.
Bulletproof glass may be up to three inches thick.
The materials
All the parts of the glass must be transparent.
The essential components are these:
A very hard substance
A softer plastic that can bend under heat and pressure
A bonding agent (an adhesive).
Items 2 and 3 may or may not be the same substance.
Glass outside, specially strengthened during production
Acrylic, also known as 'Perspex' or 'Plexiglas', is another very hard, clear material which can be used as well as, or even instead of, glass
Adhesive, often the resin polyvinyl butyal
Plastic inside, a thermoplastic polycarbonate
A simpler version is used for car windshields.
It consists of two panels of toughened glass, bonded together with polyvinyl butyal (PVB).
The PVB stops cracks in the outer glass from spreading.
One-way
The idea is for guards inside to be able to shoot out, while attackers can't shoot in.
One-way bulletproof glass is usually made of only two layers, a brittle layer on the outside and a flexible one on the inside.
A bullet fired from the outside hits the brittle layer first, shattering an area of it.
This absorbs some of the bullet's kinetic energy, and spreads it on a larger area.
When the slowed bullet hits the flexible layer, it is stopped.
However, when a bullet is fired from the inside, it hits the flexible layer first.
The bullet penetrates the flexible layer because its energy is focused on a smaller area; the brittle layer then shatters outward due to the flexing of the inner layer and does not significantly hinder the bullet's progress.
A problem with this idea is that a two-layer glass has limited stopping power.
Improvement on glass
There is a new type of transparent armour with aluminium oxynitride instead of glass.
As the outside 'strike plate' layer, it is much lighter and performs better than traditional glass/polymer laminates.
Aluminum oxynitride 'glass' can defeat .50 caliber armour-piercing rounds.
Various types of other materials which closely resemble glass are also being developed.
Certain types of ceramic can also be used for transparent armour.
They are denser and harder than traditional glass.
These new types of transparent ceramic armours make thinner armour with equal stopping power to traditional laminated glass.
Digital certificates are electronic 'credit cards' that establish your credentials when doing a business or other transactions on the Web.
It is issued by a certification authority (CA).

was a Japanese daimyo in the Tōhoku region during the Azuchi-Momoyama period and Edo period.
He was known as the  because he lost the use of an eye.
Date clan
In the Edo period, the Date clan were identified as one of the tozama or outsider clans, in contrast with the fudai or insider daimyō clans which were hereditary vassals or allies of the Tokugawa clan.
Sendai-kō
The feudal daimyō were sometimes identified with the suffix "-kō" (servant) combined with the name of a place or a castle.
In 1601, Date built the Sendai castle; and the modern-day city of Sendai developed around it.
Sendai-kō was one of the ways Date Masamune was described.
In 1991, a minor planet or main-belt asteroid  6859 Datemasamune was named after this Edo period historical figure.

Frank Donald Drake PhD is an American astronomer (a scientist who studies the universe and what is inside it) and astrophysicist (someone who studies the physics of astronomy).
He is most famous for joining in the first new SETI (Search for ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence) experiment in 1960 and for making the Drake equation.
Born on the 28th of May 1930 in Chicago to Richard and Winifred Drake.
As a young boy (in Chicago), Drake loved electronics and chemistry.
He says that he thought of life on other planets but never said the idea with his family or teachers.
He enrolled at Cornell University on a Navy Reserve Officer Training Corps scholarship.
Once there, he began studying astronomy.
A  lecture from astrophysist Otto Struve in 1951 strengthen Drake's ideas about the possibility of extraterrestrial life.
After college, he served briefly as an electronics officer on the USS Albany.
He then went on to graduate school at Harvard in radio astronomy.
Drake started his career undertaking radio astronomical research at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory (NRAO) in Green Bank, West Virginia, and for a short time in 1963 at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.
He conducted key measurements which revealed the presence of a Jovian ionosphere and magnetosphere.
In 1960, he started Project Ozma, which searches for extraterrestrial life.
Drake is one of the pioneers of the modern field of the search for extraterrestrial intelligence with Giuseppe Cocconi, Philip Morrison, Iosif Shklovsky, and Carl Sagan.
Drake joined the Astronomy faculty of Cornell University in 1963.
Drake lead the conversion of the Arecibo Observatory to a radio astronomical facility.
He lead Arecibo's improvements in 1974 and 1996.
In this period, Drake was a professor at Cornell University and Director of the National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC) – the formal name for the Arecibo facility.
In 1974 he wrote the Arecibo message.
Drake co-designed the Pioneer plaque with Carl Sagan in 1972, the first physical message sent into space.
The plaque was made to be read by clever alien life if they find it.
He later helped the making of the Voyager Golden Record.
He was elected to the AAAS in 1974.
Drake is a member of the National Academy of Sciences where he chaired the Board of Physics and Astronomy of the National Research Council (1989–92).
He also served as President of the Astronomical Society of the Pacific.
He was a Professor of Astronomy at Cornell University (1964–84) and served as the Director of the Arecibo Observatory.
He is currently involved in "The Carl Sagan Center for the Study of life in the universe".
He is Emeritus Professor of Astronomy and Astrophysics at the University of California, Santa Cruz where he also served as Dean of Natural Sciences (1984–88).
He serves on the Board of Trustees of the SETI Institute.

A testimonial is when a company uses a celebrity or famous person or a member of the public to endorse a product so the consumer wants it too.
For example a professional football player recommends a particular brand of shirts.
The idea behind this is for the consumer to think "Oh!
That famous person likes that shirt, I think I'll get it too!".

In psychology, frustration is a common emotional way to act when things go wrong.
It is a feeling of being angry and sad when something one wants or wishes for does not happen.
In physics, frustration (or geometrical frustration) is a property of water molecules in ice when a freezing crystal is formed.
The presence of random or conflicting atoms stop the ice from being completely frozen.
It is called "water ice".

The Indo-Pakistani War of 1971 was a military conflict between India and Pakistan.
Lasting just 13 days, it is considered one of the shortest wars in history.
During the war, Indian and Pakistani forces fought on the eastern and western fronts.
The war effectively came to an end after the Eastern Command of the Pakistani Armed Forces signed the Instrument of Surrender (1971) on December 16, 1971.
After the surrender, East Pakistan seceded as the independent state of Bangladesh.
Around 97,368 West Pakistanis who were in East Pakistan at the time of its independence, including some 79,700 Pakistan Army soldiers and paramilitary personnel and 12,500 civilians, were taken as prisoners of war by India.
Western and Soviet involvement
The Soviet Union sided with the Bangladeshis, and supported the Indian Army and Mukti Bahini during the war.
The Soviets thought that the independence of Bangladesh would weaken the position of its rivals—the United States and China.
The USSR gave assurances to India that if a confrontation with the United States or China developed, it would take counter-measures.
This assurance was enshrined in the Indo-Soviet friendship treaty signed in August 1971.
The United States supported Pakistan politically and with supplies.
President Richard Nixon and his Secretary of State Henry Kissinger feared Soviet expansion into South and Southeast Asia.
Pakistan was a close ally of the People's Republic of China, with whom Nixon had been negotiating a rapprochement.
Nixon was planning to visit China in February 1972.
Nixon feared that an Indian invasion of West Pakistan would give the Soviets control over the region.
It would seriously undermine the global position of the United States and the regional position of America's new tacit ally, China.
In order to demonstrate to China the bona fides of the United States as an ally, Nixon sent military supplies to Pakistan, routing them through Jordan and Iran, while also encouraging China to increase its arms supplies to Pakistan.
The Nixon administration also ignored reports it received of the "genocidal" activities of the Pakistani Army in East Pakistan, most notably the Blood telegram.
This prompted widespread criticism and condemnation both by Congress and in the international press.
The United States introduced a resolution in the UN Security Council calling for a cease-fire and the withdrawal of armed forces by India and Pakistan.
It was vetoed by the Soviet Union.
In the following days Nixon and Kissinger tried to get India to withdraw, but they did not succeed.
When Pakistan's defeat in the eastern sector seemed certain, Nixon deployed a carrier battle group led by the aircraft carrier USS Enterprise into the Bay of Bengal.
The Enterprise and its escort ships arrived on station on 11 December 1971.
According to a Russian documentary, the United Kingdom deployed a carrier battle group led by the aircraft carrier HMS Eagle to the Bay.
On 6 December and 13 December, the Soviet Navy dispatched two groups of cruisers and destroyers and a submarine armed with nuclear missiles from Vladivostok; they trailed U.S. Task Force 74 into the Indian Ocean from 18 December 1971 until 7 January 1972.
The Soviets also had a nuclear submarine to help ward off the threat posed by USS Enterprise task force in the Indian Ocean.

The AVR microcontroller architecture was developed by Atmel in 1996.
It is based on the Harvard microcontroller architecture.
The AVR was one of the first microcontroller families to use on-chip flash memory for program storage, as opposed to one-time programmable ROM, EPROM, or EEPROM used by other microcontrollers at the time.
This architecture replaces older MCS-51 architecture.
One machine cycle of MCS-51 takes 12 clock cycles and most of  instructions are executed in one machine cycle.
AVR microcontrollers (MCUs) can execute most of instructions in single machine cycle too, but one machine cycle takes only one clock cycle.
Performance per clock cycle is 12 times higher with AVR.
The core has 32 general purpose registers directly connected to ALU.
It allowing two independent

Every AVR has some input/output ports.
The port has up to 8 physical pins on its package.
Every pin can be configured as input or output.
If a pin is used for input, it can turn on built-in pull-up resistors through register PORTx.
If a pin is configured as output, it can handleup to 40mA of load per pin and max 100mA for all pins on the port.
10-bit (tinyAVR, megaAVR) with multiplex up to 8 channels
12-bit (XMEGA) with multiplex up to 16 channels
Users can configure it asi PWM, counter or timer.
In simple PWM mode, the counting register runs without stopping and is compared to another register.
If the counting register is higher than second register pin Ocx is set to „1“.
In other time is pin Ocx set to „0“.
Counter have some external source like photo sensor and can count amount of people which pass photo sensor.
Timer gives pulses in exact time.
It is used for programing clock applications.
This uses the same protocol as I2C and can be used as I2C interface
very fast serial bus which is used for data transfer of communication with devices
you can burn/read program into/from program memory or EEPROM through this bus

The Senedd (), also called the National Assembly building, contains the debating chamber and 3 committee rooms for the National Assembly for Wales in Cardiff.
The building is 5,308 square meters (57,100 sq ft) large.
After 2 selection processes were held, it was decided a new debating chamber for Wales was to built on a new site, Site 1E, at Capital Waterside in Cardiff Bay.
Richard Rogers, an architect who had won the Pritzker Prize, won the international competition to design the building.
It was designed to be sustainable, with renewable technologies, and to be energy efficient.
The building was awarded an "Excellent" certification by the Building Research Establishment Environmental Assessment Method, the highest ever certification to be awarded in Wales, and was nominated for the 2006 Stirling Prize.
The Senedd is now a symbol of Cardiff, and Wales.
Building the Senedd
The cost grew because of the extra security that had to be added after the September 11 attacks, and because the National Assembly did not have an independent estimate of the project's cost until December 2000, three years after the original estimate.
The costs of the second phase grew by less than 6% over budget, and was 6 months late, because of ICT problems.
It was opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 1 March 2006 and it cost £69.6 million, which included £49.7 million in construction costs.
The Senedd is part of the land owned by the National Assembly that includes Tŷ Hywel and the Pierhead Building.
