Modern versions
Despite its lack of completeness, the novel has a history of media exposure.
There are two films (1935 and 1993) and three television versions (1960 and 2012 in English, and 1980 in Russian).
The novel has been on radio and in the theatre.
There are a number of versions in print.
In general, people have believed what Dicken's friend John Forster reported: Jasper murdered Drood.
In 2015, the UK newspaper The Daily Mail and the University of Buckingham asked the public for their solution to the mystery.
Out of 15,000 responses, the overwhelming verdict was that Jasper killed his own nephew and stashed his body in the church crypt, the same solution proposed by Dickens' friends and family.

Vientiane () is the capital city of Laos.
It is in the Mekong Valley, and over two hundred thousand people live in its central area.
It is a feature that makes many religious and government buildings stand out, because if someone is speaking to others inside or under a dome, the voice sounds louder.
Also a dome makes it easier to identify an important building, for example a temple or a palace.
A large stadium with a roof over the playing field is often called a "dome".
One example of that usage is the Metrodome.
This article is about the kind of address that you find or communicate with someone through.
Address can also mean public speaking.
It can also be used when someone is working on something, or talking about something.
An address (pronounced AD-dress or ad-DRESS) is a way to find or communicate with someone.
It can be a postal address or an e-mail address.
On forms, it is common to ask for someone's name, address and phone number, so that the person can be found easily.
A postal address is usually the location of someone's house, but sometimes it is the person's Post Office Box.
It is the information that is put on a letter to have the letter delivered to a person.

A T cell is a type of lymphocyte, a white blood cell.
T-cells plays an important role in the immune system.
They attack infected cells, foreign cells, and cancer cells and completely destroy them.
This stops viruses or cancer from spreading to healthy cells.
The "T" in T cell stands for thymus.
The thymus is where T cells mature.

A biscuit is a type of food.
They are small baked breads or cakes.
Biscuits in British usage
In British English, Australian English, Canadian English and New Zealand English, biscuits are usually sweet and can be eaten with tea, milk or coffee.
In North America these are called "cookies".
Biscuits in American usage
In American English, a "biscuit" is a small form of bread, similar to scones, made with baking powder or baking soda as a leavening agent rather than yeast. (
Biscuits, soda breads, and corn bread, among others, are sometimes referred to all together as "quick breads" to show that they do not need time to rise before baking.)
Electromagnets are temporary and artificial magnets.
They are magnets that are only magnetic when there is a coil of wire with electricity running through it.
The coil of wire is called a solenoid.
The strength of the magnet is proportional to the current flowing in the circuit.
The electricity running through the wire is called a current.
The current is the flow of electrons, which are negatively charged particles.
Electromagnets are used for a variety of purposes.
In a simple example, an electromagnet can pick up pieces of iron, nickel, and cobalt.
Electromagnets can be made stronger by adding more coils to the copper wire, or adding an iron core through the coils (for example a nail).
The current can also be increased to make the magnetism stronger.
British electrician William Sturgeon invented the electromagnet in 1825.
Different alloys act differently.
Iron stops being an electromagnet very quickly, but steel takes time to wear off.
To make an electromagnet, copper wire is wound around an iron rod.
The two ends of the wire are connected to the + (positive) and - (negative) side of the battery.
Electromagnets are used in everyday items such as burglar alarms, electric relays and fire bells.
Electric motors are basically electromagnets.
Their ability to change from the state of non-magnetic to magnetic just by passing an electric current through it allows it to be used in many different items.
This ability is used in relays.
Electromagnets can also be used to make electricity.
Movement of a magnet back and forth in front of the electromagnet will make an electric current.
Why electromagnets work
Electromagnets work because when electricity flows through a wire it makes a magnetic field around the wire.
The direction of the magnetic field can be found by using the right-hand rule.
This means that if a person points the thumb of their right hand in the direction of the current, the magnetic field would go around the wire the same way their fingers would wrap around the wire.
The magnetic field made by a single wire is not usually very strong.
To make an electromagnet normally the wire is wrapped in many loops to make the fields of each piece of wire add together into one stronger magnetic field.

An island country (also sometimes called island nation or borderless country) is a country that is made up only of islands.
They are not connected by land to any other nation.
Each island only belongs to that country, so there are no borders.
Examples of borderless countries are Iceland, Japan and Madagascar.
Llívia is a small Catalan town which is an exclave of Spain, being surrounded by France.
The Spanish border is about one kilometre away.
The town is part of Cerdanya, province of Girona.
The French territory surrounding Llivia is the Pyrénées-Orientales département.
Llivia had a total population of 1252 in 2005.
People lived there in Roman times.
Originally, the settlement was a Roman fort (known as an oppidum).
The name of the oppidum was Julia Libica.

Catching Ivan Milat
Ivan Milat (born 1944 died 2019) was an Australian man from New South Wales who lived near Belangalo State Forest.
So police arrested Milat and searched his house.
They found out that:
Milat had a gun similar to the weapon used to murder the victims and items that belonged to the victims.
One man in England said that he was nearly killed by Milat.
Police then said that Ivan Milat must have tried to kill that man.
They also said that Ivan Milat may have killed all of the other people.

Some people said his brothers helped him, or a girl, or lots of other people.
Police have said that there are more than 30 people that went missing that might have been killed by Milat.
Murder in the 1990s
Azaria Chamberlain (11 June 1980 – dissapeared on 17 August 1980) was an Australian baby who was born in Mount Isa, Queensland, and went missing in 1980 near Ayers Rock, Northern Territory, Australia.
The family were camping in a tent at the base of the rock.
Her mother, Lindy Chamberlain, said that she had been taken by a dingo and killed.
Police said that Lindy Chamberlain had murdered the baby and had lied about the dingo.
After a long trial which was reported around the world, Chamberlain was convicted of murder and sent to jail.
Chamberlain kept arguing that she was innocent.
On August 24, 1980 Wally Goodwin found Azaria's bloodstained jumpsuit, booties, nappy and singlet near the base of the Rock near a dingo's den, the case was reopened since the 1980s.
After a long legal battle which involved three inquests, three appeals and a royal commission, she was released.
In 2012, a fourth inquest found that Azaria had been taken by a dingo, and the death certificate has now been changed to show this.
The inquest noted that there had been other dingo attacks in the region.
Lindy Chamberlain was released from jail on February 7 1986, but not cleared until September 15 1988, at which time Lindy and Michael (her husband) were declared innocent of all charges.
She and Michael were divorced on June 27 1991.
She met Rick Creighton on a speaking tour of the United States in February 1992 and married him on December 20 1992.
Azaria in popular culture
The disappearance of Azaria became one of the most argued about events in Australia.
Many people thought that a dingo would be unable to kill a baby.
This meant that the mother must have lied.
People in Australia say "a dingo stole my baby" as a joke, when they think someone is lying.
After a dingo killed a nine-year-old boy on Fraser Island in 2001, people have had to rethink their beliefs about dingos.
Author John Bryson wrote a book about the case, called Evil Angels.
This was later made into a movie called Evil Angels and starred Meryl Streep and Sam Neill.
The movie was released in other countries as A Cry in the Dark.
In 2005, a woman called Erin Horsburgh said that she was really Azaria Chamberlain and wanted police to do a DNA test to check.
But police said that the woman was lying and they did not need to check.
This created interest in the media, but there was no truth to the story.

It ruled out the chances of him becoming a barrister as a likely career from his mind.
To this day, John wears a hearing aid.
Prime Minister (1996-2007)
First term
One of Howard's first initiatives was to unite the state governments of Australia to place a ban on gun ownership in Australia.
This move came after the Port Arthur Massacre in Tasmania in 1996, where 35 people were killed and a further 37 injured at the hands of a gunman.
In 1998, Howard and his Treasurer, Peter Costello took a big tax reform (the GST) to the election and won.
Second term
In 1999 John Howard's government held a referendum on whether Australia should become a republic and have a President instead of a Queen.

The Australian Labor Party opposition led by Kim Beazley criticised John Howard's handling of the 1998 Australian Waterfront Dispute.
Third term
After the September 11 attacks, John Howard was involved in world issues.
He was close with George W. Bush who was the leader of the United States.
George Bush called John Howard a "key ally".
John Howard sent SAS troops to Afghanistan and Iraq to support the United States, and signed a free trade agreement with the United States.
Despite this alliance, Australia remained fairly neutral on Israel and Palestine.
Like before Howard, Australian trade with Asia got bigger while John Howard was leader.
He invited the Chinese leader Hu Jintao to speak to the Australian Parliament for the first time.
After the 2004 Boxing Day Tsunami, John Howard called the President of Indonesia and offered a billion dollars to help.
John Howard increased immigration a lot and people came to Australia from all over the world, but he tried to stop boats of people coming without asking for visas first.
Fourth term
In 2005, he made it easier for bosses to get rid of workers by introducing the controversial WorkChoices industrial legislation introduced by his Workplace Relations Minister Kevin Andrews.
This upset people and the Labor Party became more popular.
On 24 November 2007, Kevin Rudd won an election and John Howard stopped being Prime Minister.
John Howard also lost his seat in the Parliament to the Labor Party candidate Maxine McKew, a former ABC TV journalist.

Swedish () is a language mostly spoken in Sweden and in parts of Finland, typically along the southern and western coasts and on the Åland islands.
More than nine million people speak Swedish.
It is similar to two of the other Scandinavian languages, Norwegian and Danish, and a person who understands one of these languages can understand the others.
Other Scandinavian languages, such as Icelandic and Faroese, are less closely related and cannot be understood by Swedish speakers.
Standard Swedish is spoken and written throughout Sweden, but there are some local dialects with differences in grammar and vocabulary in small towns and rural areas.
Swedish began as a dialect of Old Norse, which was a language that everyone in Scandinavia understood during the Viking Age.
Around the 12th century Swedish began to slowly become different from the other dialects.
These dialects later became what we today call Norwegian, Icelandic, Faroese and Danish.
Swedish is a Germanic language with some similarities to English because of the Vikings that invaded England in the 10th Century.
It is even more similar to German and Dutch, partly because of the Hanseatic League of the Middle Ages, when Sweden traded very openly with Germany.
There are three characters in the Swedish language that are not used in English.
These are å, ä and ö.  The letter å is a vowel sound between [a] and [o], similar to the English word awe.
The letter ä is a vowel sound similar to [ɛ], like in the English word bed.
The letter ö is a vowel sound between [o] and [ɛ], pronounced [øː] like the u in the English word burn.
These characters are also used in the Finnish language, while Norwegian and Danish languages replace ä and ö with similar characters æ and ø.
Swedish also has some important differences in grammar.
Definite articles are suffixed onto the end of their nouns, so ett hus (a house) becomes huset (the house).
Also unlike English, Swedish uses two grammatical genders called Common and Neuter.
Nouns of the Common gender are sometimes called "en words", and many words for living (or once-living) things are "en words".
Nouns of the Neuter gender are sometimes called "ett words".

African American Vernacular English (AAVE) is a name for the way that some African-American people talk in English.
Linguists named AAVE, which is used by some non-black people.
Some of the dialect's pronunciations and grammar are similar to how people talk in West Africa.
AAVE first came about in the 16th and the 17th centuries.
It became famous in 1996, when some educators in Oakland, California, said they wanted to use AAVE to help teach black kids.
They called it Ebonics, but the term often has a negative connotation.
There are many rules that govern how the sounds of AAVE are different from Standard English.
Some have to do with pronunciation and vocabulary (or lexicon), but most have to do with grammar, including verb tenses and sentence structure.
Hip hop music has made AAVE more famous since the 1980s.
Some people think it is cool and try to speak or learn it even if they are not really familiar with it.
Some non-black people speak it well.
Many features set AAVE apart from other forms of American English (particularly, General American).
McWhorter argues that what truly unites all AAVE accents is a uniquely wide-ranging intonation pattern or "melody", which characterizes even the most "neutral" or light African-American accent.
Many multisyllabic words in AAVE differ from General American in their stress placement.
For example, police, guitar, and Detroit are pronounced with initial stress instead of stress on the last syllable or neutral stress.

The National Security Agency (NSA) is part of the US government.
The agency was started in 1952, and its main office is in Maryland.
Its stated goal is to protect the US people by
Worldwide "earsdropping," secretly listening to what people are saying in other countries.
It monitors, collects, decodes, translates and analyses information and data.
That is known as signals intelligence (SIGINT).
Protecting the US from eavesdropping and SIGINT spying by foreign governments and agencies, called "penetration and network warfare."
The agency does so by clandestine (secret) means, such as bugging electronic systems, and sabotaging their computer networks with viral software.

Robert Pershing Wadlow (February 22, 1918 – July 15, 1940) was the tallest person who ever lived.
Robert Pershing Wadlow was born to Addie Johnson and Harold Wadlow in Alton, Illinois on February 22, 1918, and was the oldest of five children.
During elementary school, they had to make a special desk for him because of his size.
In 1936, after graduating from Alton High School, he enrolled in Shurtleff College with the intention of studying law.
Robert Wadlow was normal at birth but started growing abnormally when he was two, after a double hernia operation.
He was six feet tall at age six.
By the time he was 17, he was eight feet tall.
Because he was so tall, he got lots of attention and became very famous, but his bones were very weak and he had to wear leg braces.
In 1940, he was walking in a Fourth of July parade, when one of his braces made his ankle get infected; he died on the 15th of that month.
When he died he was 8' 11.1".
Robert was 6' 5" on his knees.
Wadlow died at the age of 22.
Four days later, at his funeral, 40,000 people attended and it took 12 people to carry his coffin.
People remember him as the "Gentle Giant" and there is a statue of him at the Southern Illinois University Edwardsville School of Dental Medicine.
People now say Wadlow had something called gigantism, which made him so tall.

A code is a way of changing information into something else.
Sometimes this is done as a way of keeping a message secret.
This is called encryption or cryptography.
One source gives this explanation: a code is "a word, number or some other symbol used to represent a word, phrase or syllable in plaintext".
It is one of the earliest forms of cryptography.
Contrast code with cypher, in which the individual letters are encrypted (changed).
Sometimes it is done as an easier way of sending a message.
For example, when people on two different boats want to send a message, they may be too far away to shout, but they can send messages with a flag code.
Another code that people use is called Morse code, which changes letters to dots and dashes, like this:
SOS:   ···−−−···
Computers use codes, by changing letters into 1's and 0's.
This method was invented for punched tape.
Now the usual alphanumeric code is ASCII.
Some people write codes as a kind of game.
They think it is fun to make ciphers, and fun to break them.
Breaking a code means taking it apart to understand how it works, and then you can understand messages that are written in that code.
Cryptanalysis is also serious business.
Nations and other organizations have been breaking each other's ciphers for many centuries.
The algorithm (code) for making a message secret is called the encryption algorithm.
To change a secret message back a decryption algorithm is needed.

The goaltender (also known colloquially as goalie or netminder) in ice hockey is the player who defends his team's goal net by stopping shots of the puck from entering his team's net, thus stopping the other team from scoring.
They usually stay close to the net.
At the very end of a game, if a team is losing by one goal, teams may take their goaltender out of the game and replace him with another player.
This makes it more likely that they will score a goal, however, it is also much easier for the other team to score without anybody defending the goal.

Wikispecies is a sister project of Wikipedia, and so it is a wiki supported by the Wikimedia Foundation.
It is a free directory of species that wants to make a full catalogue of all living things.
It tells of how species are classified into groups (taxonomy), and how those groups are similar to one another.
It calls itself the "directory of life".
It is supposed to be written and used by scientists, not by normal people.
The people who write Wikispecies do not need to show their education but need to show their general understanding in the area.
It was started in August 2004, with biologists around the world invited to help.
Now, the project has become a good directory listing the Linnaean taxonomy with links to Wikipedia articles on individual species since April 2005.
The links are provided in different languages.
The articles in Wikispecies are all written in the Latin names, so that scientists around the world, no matter what language that use, can use the website.
There is information in the article telling people what the article's living thing is called in every other language that has a common name for it.
Still, Wikispecies is mostly in English; its main page is in English, and it is run in English.

Lopp Lagoon is a tidal lake on Cape Prince of Wales (the westernmost tip of the Seward Peninsula) in the U.S. state of Alaska.
Many creeks empty into it, but the most water comes from the Mint River.
Some salt water from the Pacific Ocean also enters the lagoon through several channels between it and the Bering Strait.

The League of Nations (French: Société des Nations) was the predecessor to the United Nations.
The League was founded in 1920, after World War I, but failed to maintain peace and prevent World War II.
The League had a Council of the great powers and an Assembly of all of its member countries.
The League of Nations was thought up by US President Woodrow Wilson during World War I. It was to be a group of nations that worked together to keep peace.
One of the reasons for its downfall was that, after a vote, the US Senate refused to join.
The League did not have the power to enforce any of its rules.
That later proved to be a fatal flaw in the League's structure.
Another flaw in the League was that it was not representative enough.
It never had more than 65 members, and the interests of the great powers often outweighed those of weaker members.
The League also had no troops of its own, and the decisions that it made were often slow.
For example, when the Empire of Japan invaded Manchuria (North-eastern China) in 1931, the League took a whole year to decide to tell Japan to leave.
Instead, Japan left the League.
When Italy invaded Abyssinia in 1935, the League condemned it more quickly.
Italy simply left the League and finished its conquest.
After these disasters, the League was thought to be weak and powerless and stopped operations in 1939.
The League did not fail completely since it had prevented a few conflicts in Europe in the 1920s and worked hard to relieve various public health and social problems around the world.
In 1946, the inactive League of Nations formally ended and was replaced by the United Nations, which still does many of the same things that the League of Nations did.
US President Woodrow Wilson arranged a plan for a "government of governments", or an international peacekeeping force.
The idea was to settle problems between nations peacefully.
Wilson tried to persuade the international community that the League would discourage aggression and tackle the underlying problems that often lead to war such as poverty.
