The Uffizi Gallery (Italian: Galleria degli Uffizi), is one of the oldest and most famous art museums in the world.
It is housed in the Palazzo degli Uffizi which means the "Palace of Offices" in Florence, Italy.
The museum and its history
In 1560, Cosimo I de' Medici, the Duke of Tuscany, ordered a design of new office buildings for the magistrates of Florence.
This is why the building is called the "Uffizi" ("offices").
The designer was Giorgio Vasari and the buildings were continued by Alfonso Parigi and Bernardo Buontalenti and finished in 1581.
The offices are in two parts which face each other across a courtyard.
One end opens onto the town square and the other opens onto the River Arno.
Varsari designed a sort of screen, like a backdrop in an Ancient Greek theatre.
It has arches through which the view of the river can be seen.
Duke Cosimo had a plan to arrange that finest works of art in the Medici families' collections on the upper floor.
This was not done until the time of Francesco I. He also commissioned Buontalenti to design the most the famous room in the Uffizi, an octagonal room called the Tribune of the Uffizi.
This room contained many of the best paintings.
Rich people would often send their sons on a Grand Tour of Europe.
The Tribune of the Uffizi was one of the important sights on the tour.
At first, people could only see the gallery by "request". (
They would ask politely and perhaps be shown around.)
The last Medici heiress, Anna Maria Lodovica, made an agreement with the city of Florence.
In 1765 the Uffizi Gallery was officially opened to the public.
The collection of artworks is so large that some of the works are in other museums in Florence.
Many of the statues are in the Bargello.
Today the Uffizi is one of the most popular tourist attractions of Florence.
In high season (particularly in July), people sometimes have to wait for five hours.

Whitehall is a road in Westminster in London, England.
It is the main street running north from Parliament Square, towards traditional Charing Cross, now at the southern end of Trafalgar Square and marked by the statue of Charles I, which is often regarded as the heart of London.
Whitehall was originally a wide road that ran up to the front of the palace.
Trafalgar Square was built at its northern end in the early 19th century.
The southernmost part by Parliament Square is named Parliament Street, but there is no longer any obvious difference between the two on the ground.
Combined, the streets cover a total distance of about 0.6 mile (1 km).

Fuchsia is a genus of flowering plants.
They are often purplish-red, which is where we get the colour  fuchsia.
Fuchsia belongs to the Onagraceae family of flowering plants.
Fuchsia has 110 species.
It consists mostly of shrubs or small trees.
The first, Fuchsia triphylla, was discovered on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola (Haiti and the Dominican Republic) about 1696–1697.
The discoverer was the French monk and botanist, Charles Plumier, during his third expedition to the Greater Antilles.
He named the new genus after the German botanist Leonhart Fuchs (1501–1566).

He was sentenced to 22 years in prison.
In 1985 he escaped from prison with Iñaki Pikaea during a concert in the jail with Basque singer Imanol Larzabal.
They hid themselves inside a loudspeaker.
The Basque rock group Kortatu wrote the song Sarri, Sarri in honor of this.
He has lived in secret since his escape and writes a lot about exile.
Sarrionandia has written books and poems which have been sung by different Basque singers.
There's also an audio book called Hau da ene ondasun guzia of Sarrionandia reading his own poems as well as many songs performed by different singers.

Mosaic is the art of decorating a surface with pictures and patterns made of little pieces of stone, glass or tiles of different colours.
Mosaics can be used indoors on walls, floors and ceilings.
Mosaics are sometimes used outdoors on pavements.
Making mosaics
Mosaics are made by setting coloured pieces into "mortar" (cement) which sets hard and holds the pieces in place.
Some mosaics are made of round pebbles, and have only two or three colours.
Other mosaics are made of marble.
Many mosaics, particularly in Italy, are made of terracotta tiles. (
Terracotta is "fired" clay that has been baked in an oven.)
Terracotta tiles come in many colours and can be used for colourful pictures as well as patterns.
Some tiles look as if they are made of pure gold.
These tiles are actually made of glass and have a very thin "leaf" of gold stuck to one side.
The side with the gold gets put into the mortar.
Then the gold can be seen through the glass, but cannot be scratched off.
Mosaics often last for a very long time.
There are still plenty of mosaics which were made by the Ancient Romans.
They can be seen in Italy, England, France, as well as  other countries that were once part of the Roman Empire.
Many beautiful mosaics date from the early Christian and Byzantine eras, from about 300 AD to 1400, in Italy, Greece, and other countries.
The mosaics in churches usually have pictures which tell Bible stories.
Mosaics were a popular way to decorate churches in Italy in the Medieval period.
They were not popular in England, France, Germany and countries of Northern Europe because they preferred to use stained glass windows as decoration.
In Italy, the most famous church with its interior decorated with mosaics is St. Mark's Basilica, Venice.
At Westminster Cathedral in London, (which is built in an Italian style) the mosaic decoration which was started more than 100 years ago is still continuing, bit by bit.
Many of the mosaics at St. Mark's and Westminster Cathedral have gold backgrounds.
Nowadays mosaics are still used in all sorts of ways.
Mosaics are most often used to brighten up public places in cities.
Modern mosaics are made of all sorts of materials: mosaic tiles, bathroom tiles, broken roof tiles, broken dishes, broken mirrors, bits of metal and old bricks.
Redon started drawing as a young child, and at the age of 10 he was given a drawing prize at school.
At age 15, he began official study in drawing but he later on switched to architecture because his father told him to.
His failure to pass the entrance exams at Paris’ École des Beaux-Arts ended any plans for a career as an architect, although he would later study there under Jean-Léon Gerôme.
Back home in his home town of Bordeaux, he took up sculpture, and Rodolphe Bresdin instructed him in etching and lithography.
However, his artistic career was halted in 1870 when he joined the army to serve in the Franco-Prussian War.
At the end of the war, he moved to Paris, working almost only in charcoal and lithography.
It would not be until 1878 that his work gained any recognition with Guardian Spirit of the Waters, and he published his first album of lithographs, called Dans le Rêve, in 1879.
Still, Redon remained unknown until the appearance in 1884 of a cult novel by Joris-Karl Huysmans titled, À rebours (Against Nature).
The story featured a decadent aristocrat who collected Redon's drawings.
In the 1890s, he began to use pastel and oils, which featured in most of his works for the rest of his life.
In 1899, he exhibited with the Nabis at Durand-Ruel's.
In 1903 he was given the Legion of Honor.
His popularity increased when a catalogue of etchings and lithographs was published by André Mellerio in 1913 and that same year, he was given the largest single representation at the New York Armory Show.
In 2005 the Museum of Modern Art launched an exhibition called "Beyond The Visible", a comprehensive overview of Redon's work showcasing more than 100 paintings, drawings, prints and books from The Ian Woodner Family Collection.
The exhibition ran from October 30, 2005 to January 23, 2006.

Pinnipeds  are the seals and their relatives, a group of semi-aquatic marine mammals.
The Pinnipedia is in the Order Carnivora.
Seals are sleek-bodied and barrel-shaped.
Their bodies are well adapted to the aquatic habitat where they spend most of their lives.
Pinnipeds have flippers for hands, big bulky bodies, doggish faces, and big eyes.
Unlike cetaceans, pinnipeds have their noses on their faces, and each nostril of the nose closes when the pinniped goes underwater.
Like cetaceans, pinnipeds have a thick layer of blubber (fat) just under their skin: this blubber keeps them warm in cold waters and keeps them fed during times when food is not easily found.
When they cannot find food, they live off the fat in the blubber.
Pinnipeds are carnivorous.
This means they eat only meat (such as fish or squid) and not plants.
However, almost all pinnipeds can be eaten by polar bears, sharks and killer whales.
Seals are often trained in zoos or aquariums to put on shows.
However, in Sweden, it is illegal to train a seal to balance a ball on its nose.
Pinnipeds sleep in the water.
They may also sleep on land.
In both environments, there is a danger.
At least in the northern hemisphere, there is danger from polar bears on land, and in the water, there is danger from sharks.
While sleeping in water, the animals go through different stages of sleep.
They do some behaviors during sleep: they come to the surface occasionally to breathe, and they now and then open an eye for a period of time.
The details vary in different species or groups.
Similar adaptations are found in cetaceans like dolphins.

Sir John Alexander Macdonald, GCB, KCMG, PC, PC (Can), (January 11, 1815 – June 6, 1891) was the first Prime Minister of Canada.
He was an important influence on the Canadian Confederation, July 1, 1867.
Macdonald was in office from 1867 to 1873 and again from 1878 to 1891, making him the second longest-serving Prime Minister of Canada and the only one to win six majority governments.
One of the things Macdonald wanted to do was to build a transcontinental railway that would link Canada from the Atlantic Ocean to the Pacific Ocean.
That railway, called the Canadian Pacific Railway, was completed in 1885.
Macdonald did not speak French as well as the Prime Ministers who came after him.
He could speak Scottish Gaelic and a bit of Latin.
Macdonald had four siblings.

Trojan objects orbit 60° ahead (L4) or behind (L5) a more massive object.
Both are in orbit around an even more massive central object.
The best known example are the asteroids that orbit ahead or behind Jupiter around the Sun.
Trojan objects do not orbit exactly at one of either Lagrange points, but do remain close to it, appearing to slowly orbit it.
The largest group of asteroids known to move around the Sun are those with the planet Jupiter.
There are two groups of Jovian Trojans, one group on each side of Jupiter.
In 1772 the French mathematician and astronomer Joseph-Louis Lagrange identified two spots in a planet's orbit which were gravitationally stable.
If put there, an object would stay there.
Lagrange predicted the existence of a group of small bodies in each of the two stable points in Jupiter’s orbit.
The term originally referred to the Trojan asteroids orbiting around Jupiter's Lagrangian points, which are by convention named after figures from the Trojan War of Greek mythology.
By convention, the asteroids orbiting Jupiter's L4 point are named after the heroes from the Greek side of the war, while those at L5 are from the Trojan side.
The two exceptions, the Greek-themed 617 Patroclus and the Trojan-themed 624 Hektor, were actually assigned to the wrong sides.
In 1904, Edward Emerson Barnard was the first person to see a Trojan asteroid.
Barnard thought it was a moon of the planet Saturn.
In February 1906 a German astronomer named Max Wolf saw a Trojan asteroid and named it 588 Achilles.
Wolf was the first person to see a Trojan asteroid and know what it was.
Since that time, more than 2000 Trojan asteroids have been seen.
The biggest Trojan asteroid is named 624 Hektor.
624 Hektor is 370 km across.
Astronomers think that Trojan asteroids are made of ice and dust.
Later, objects were found orbiting the Lagrangian points of Neptune, Mars, and Earth.
Asteroids at the Lagrangian points of planets other than Jupiter may be called Lagrangian asteroids.
5261 Eureka, 1998 VF31, 1999 UJ7, and 2007 NS2 are Mars Trojans.
Eight Neptune Trojans are known, but they may outnumber the Jupiter Trojans by an order of magnitude.
2010 TK7 was confirmed as the first known Earth Trojan in 2011.
It is located in the L4 Lagrangian point, which lies ahead of Earth.
Earth's Trojan
Astronomers have found a Trojan asteroid not far from Earth, moving in the same orbit around the Sun.
It sits in one of the 'Lagrange points', which are 60 degrees ahead of or behind the planets in their orbits.
These are points of gravitational stability.
Called 2010 TK7, the rock is about 80 million km from Earth, and should come no closer than about 25 million km.
The team says its orbit appears stable at least for the next 10,000 years.
An orbiting telescope sensitive to infrared light found 2010 TK7.
Wise, the Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer launched in 2009, examined more than 500 Near-Earth objects (NEOs), 123 of which were new to science.
Follow-up work on the Canada-France-Hawaii Telescope confirmed the status of 2010 TK7.

Green Arrow is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by DC Comics.
Green Arrow was created by Mort Weisinger and George Papp and first appeared in More Fun Comics #73 in 1941.
His secret identity is Oliver Jonas Queen and his friends call him Ollie.
He is a billionaire and once was a mayor of the fictional city Star City.
Green Arrow is a superhero, but lacks any superpowers.
He is similar in appearance and abilities to Robin Hood.
Green Arrow is an archer who uses his expert skill in archery to fight crime.
He wanted to help citizens when he fell off his boat and got stranded on an island.
He also is a highly trained martial artist.
Green Arrow is blond, dresses all in green, and as a goatee beard.
Green Arrow uses many trick arrows to fight crime plus supervillains.
For example, trick arrows include: glue arrows, net arrows, explosive arrows, grappling hook arrows, and boxing-glove arrows.
Green Arrow was not initially a well-known character outside of comic book fandom: he had appeared in a single episode of the animated series Super Friends in 1973.
In the 2000s, the character appeared in a number of DC television properties, including the animated series Justice League Unlimited, Young Justice, The Batman and Batman: The Brave and the Bold, and several DC Universe Animated Original Movies.
In live action, he appeared in the series Smallville, played by actor Justin Hartley, and became a core cast member.
In 2012, the live action series Arrow debuted on The CW, in which the title character was portrayed by Stephen Amell, and launching several spin-off series, becoming the starting point for a shared television franchise called the Arrowverse.
Green Arrow originally had a sidekick, and adopted son, named Speedy.
Speedy's real name is Roy Harper.
Roy Harper now is the superhero Red Arrow.
Green Arrow also has a biological son named Conner Hawke.
When Oliver Queen died, Connor Hawke became Green Arrow.
Oliver Queen was later resurrected by Hal Jordan, and retook the role of Green Arrow.
Aquaman is a fictional comic book superhero published by DC Comics.
Aquaman was created by Paul Norris and Mort Weisinger and first appeared in More Fun Comics #72 in November, 1941.
Aquaman's biography and origin has been reinvented several times since 1941.
Aquaman has several superhuman powers.
He can breathe underwater and swim at very high speeds.
Aquaman has super strength and is very hard to injure.
Aquaman's most famous ability is to communicate and command marine animals.
Aquaman has appeared in several cartoon series, such as the Super Friends, and also in the live-action TV series Smallville, with Superman.
Jason Momoa played Aquaman in the 2016 movie Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, the 2017 movie Justice League, the 2018 movie Aquaman and the 2021 movie Zack Snyder's Justice League.
Green Lantern is the name of several fictional superheroes that appear in comic books published by DC Comics.
The first was Alan Scott and was created by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell in All-American Comics #16 in July 1940.
All of the Green Lanterns since then have worn rings that were not magic, but advanced technology.
The Guardians of the Universe created the power rings and granted them to worthy candidates throughout the galaxy.
These individuals make up the Green Lantern Corps, an intergalactic police force.
Golden Age Green Lantern: Alan Scott
Alan Scott was a young engineer when he found a metal lantern that glowed with a magical green flame.
The flame told Alan how to build a ring.
Alan used the power of the ring to fight crime.
Alan was a founding member of the Justice Society of America.
Silver Age Green Lantern: Hal Jordan
Hal Jordan was an airplane test pilot.
Jordan was given his power ring by a dying alien named Abin Sur, whose spaceship had crashed on Earth.
Jordan was a founding member of the Justice League of America and also a member of the Green Lantern Corps.
Hal Jordan's hometown Coast City was destroyed in the early 1990s and he went insane.
Jordan destroyed the Green Lantern Corps and renamed himself Parallax.
Jordan later died, sacrificing himself to reignite a dying Sun only to return from the grave as the Spectre, the divine Spirit of God's Vengeance.
Hal Jordan was later brought back to life and he once again became a Green Lantern.
He also made an oath to recharge the power ring:
"In brightest day, in blackest night
No evil shall escape my sight,
Let those who worship evil's might,
Bronze Age Green Lanterns
Modern Age Green Lantern: Kyle Rayner
'''Kyle Rayner
Kyle Rayner, a freelance artist, was given the last power ring, and restored the Guardians and Corps after Jordan destroyed them as Parallax.
Later Kyle became Ion, the manifestation of willpower, for a short time.
Great Yarmouth, often known to locals as Yarmouth, is an English coastal town in Norfolk.
It is at the mouth of the River Yare.

is the designation of an object seen orbiting Saturn just beyond the farther part of the F ring on 21 June, 2004.
It was first seen by Carl Murray of the Cassini Imaging Science Team in pictures taken by the Cassini-Huygens probe on June 21, 2004, and announced on September 9, 2004.
Even though later astronomers tried to find it again, it has not been reliably seen since.
Notably, an imaging sequence covering an entire orbital period at 4 km resolution taken on 15 November, 2004 failed to find the object.
This suggests that it was a clump of material that had disappeared by that time.
Another object, , was seen nearby 5 hours later, but this time just inside the F Ring.
Because of the different location of the second object, it was given a fresh designation, although their interpretation as a single object on a F-ring crossing orbit is also possible.
Such an object might also be orbiting at a bit different inclination to the F ring, thereby not actually passing through the ring material even though it was being seen both radially inward and outward of it.
If a solid object after all,  would be 3−5 km in diameter based on brightness, and might be a shepherd satellite for the farther edge of Saturn's F ring.

is the designation of an object that astronomers do not know for sure if it exists seen orbiting Saturn within the closer part of the F ring on 21 June, 2004.
It was seen while J. N. Spitale was trying to confirm the orbit of another object,  that was seen 5 hours earlier just on the farther edge of the F ring.
The announcement was made on September 9, 2004.
Even though astronomers tried to find it again, it has not been reliably seen since.
An interpretation where S3 and S4 are or were a single object on a F-ring crossing orbit is also possible.
If a solid object after all,  would be 3−5 km in diameter based on brightness.
is the designation of a dusty object seen orbiting Saturn very close to the F ring.
It is not clear whether it is only a clump of dust, or if there is a solid small moon at its core.
It was first seen by scientists in pictures taken by the Cassini-Huygens probe on October 28, 2004, and announced on 8 November that year.
It appears to be the best tracked object in this area with at least five possible sightings in the period till late 2005.
In comparison, two objects in the F ring's area ( and ) that were first seen months earlier have not been found again with any confidence.
Nevertheless, it continues to be unclear whether there is a solid core to  or whether it is just a dust clump that will disappear in years or months.
Notably, an imaging sequence covering an entire orbital period at 4 km resolution taken on 15 November, 2004 (soon after 's discovery) failed to find the object, while it has been seen again later.
The lighting conditions in 's part of the orbit were different during these two sightings, however, with the discovery being made when the area was strongly backlit by the sun.
A suggested resolution of the absence in November is that 's visibility is primarily due to a diffuse cloud of fine dust that is much brighter in forward scattered light (the conditions of the discovery image), and that the solid core (if any) is small.
has been seen both inside and outside the main F ring, and its orbit must cross the ring.
Careful calculations show that the object periodically plows through the ring material, coming within 1.5 km of the densest core e.g. on 9 April, 2005.
It has been suggested that a spiral structure in the thinnest material around the F ring may have been a result of this.
The dusty halo seen in pictures is big, being around 2000 km in lengthwise extent.
The solid object, if any, would be no bigger than 3−5 km in diameter based on brightness.

Imaginary numbers are numbers that are made from combining a real number with the imaginary unit, called i, where i is defined as .
They are defined separately from the negative real numbers in that they are a square root of a negative real number (instead of a positive real number).
This is not possible with real numbers, as there is no real number that will multiply by itself to get a negative number (e.g.,  and ).
The set of imaginary numbers are sometimes denoted by the letter .
One way of thinking about imaginary numbers is to say that they are to negative numbers what negative numbers are to positive numbers.
If we say "go east by -1 mile", it is the same as if we had said "go west by 1 mile".
If we say "go east by i miles", it means the same thing as if we had said "go north by 1 mile".
Similarly, if we say "go east by -i mile", it means the same as if we had said "go south by 1 mile".
Adding is easy too.
If we say "go east by 1 + i miles" it means the same as if we had said "go east by one mile and north by one mile".
Multiplying two imaginary numbers is a lot like multiplying a positive number with a negative number.
If we say "go east by 2 × -3 miles", it means "rotate all of the way around (so that you are now facing west) and go 2×3 = 6 miles".
Imaginary numbers work the same, except that you can rotate part way.
If we say go "east by 2×3i miles", it means the same as if we had said "rotate until you are facing north, and then go 2×3 = 6 miles"
Subtractions such as 5 - 9 used to be impossible until negative numbers were invented, just as taking the square root of a negative number used to be impossible until imaginary numbers were invented.
The square root of 9 is 3, but the square root of −9 is not −3.
This is because −3 x −3 = +9, not −9.
For a long time, it seemed as though there was no answer to the square root of −9.
This is why mathematicians invented the imaginary number, i, and said that it is the main square root of −1.
The square root of −1 is not a real number, so this definition creates a new type of number, just like fractions create numbers like 2/3 that are not counting numbers like 4 or 10, and negative numbers create numbers that are less than 0.
Sometimes, mathematicians seem rather comfortable using a number that is so unusual, but the name imaginary should not fool you because i is as valid a number as 3 or 145,379.
Many branches of science and engineering have found uses for this number.
electrical engineers need i to understand how an electric circuit will work when they are designing it (electrical engineers use j instead of i to avoid confusion with the symbol for the current).
As another example.
certain branches of physics such as quantum physics and high energy physics use i as often as they use any other regular number.
Many of the equations in the world simply cannot be solved without i.
Imaginary numbers can be mixed with numbers we are more familiar with.
For example, a real number such as 2 can be added to an imaginary number such as 3i to create 2+3i.
These kinds of mixed numbers are known as complex numbers.
Eric Stark Maskin (born December 12, 1950) is an American economist.
In 2007, he won the Nobel Prize in Economics with Leonid Hurwicz and Roger Myerson.
He is the Albert O. Hirschman Professor of Social Science at the Institute for Advanced Study, and a visiting Professor at Princeton University.
Life story
Maskin was born in New York City, New York on December 12, 1950, to a non-religious Jewish family, and grew up in Alpine, New Jersey.
He graduated from Tenafly High School in Tenafly, New Jersey in 1968, and then studied at Harvard University where he received his A.B. and Ph.D. After he got his Ph.D., Maskin went to the University of Cambridge in 1976 where he was a research fellow at Cambridge College.
He taught at Massachusetts Institute of Technology from 1977-1984 and from 1985-2000 at Harvard, where he was the Louis Berkman Professor of Economics.
In 2000, he moved to the Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton, New Jersey.
He has studied a wide range of subjects in economic theory, such as game theory, the economics of incentives, and contract theory.
He is particularly well known for his work on mechanism design/implementation theory and dynamic games.
His current research projects include comparing different rules for elections, the causes of inequality and studying coalition formation.
He is a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, Econometric Society, and the European Economic Association, and a Corresponding Fellow of the British Academy.
He was president of the Econometric Society in 2003.
Maskin suggested that software patents make new inventions difficult.
Software, semiconductor, and computer industries have made many inventions in the past when patent laws have been weak, he argued. "
In the 1980s when patent protection was extended to software," wrote Maskin. "
Arguments predicted that productivity should have increased among patenting firms."
Maskins ideas that this would not happen were correct. "
These increases did not occur."
