In Germany an Urban District ( is a large town or city that is responsible for its own local government.
Germany is divided into 429 districts.
313 are rural districts (Landkreise, see List of German rural districts) and 116 urban districts (Kreisfreie Städte / Stadtkreise) which are listed below.
In some states, there is another level of government, the Regierungsbezirk or governmental district.
Several urban and rural districts are joined together to make a regierungsbezirk, which does some of their jobs, especially things in land-use planning which can affect several districts.
List by state
¹ following the "Göttingen Law" of January 1 1964, the town of Göttingen is incorporated into the district (Landkreis) of Göttingen, but the rules on urban districts still apply, as long as no other rules exist.
² following the "Law on the region of Hannover", Hannover counts since November 1 2001 as an urban district as long as no other rules apply.
There are no longer any urban districts.
The town of Saarbrücken used to be an urban district but became incorporated into the Saarbrücken Town Federation on January 1 1974.
1The urban districts of Görlitz, Hoyerswerda, Plauen und Zwickau will lose their status as „kreisfreie Stadt“ probably on 1st July 2008 in a reform of Saxony's districts.
Megiddo () is a hill in Israel.
It is near the modern settlement of Megiddo, and is known for theological, historical and geographical reasons.
In ancient times, Megiddo was an important city-state.
It is also known alternatively as Tel Megiddo (Hebrew) and Tell al-Mutesellim (Arabic).
According to some interpretations of the Christian Bible, this will be the place for Armageddon (that derives from the name's place in Hebrew) or the final battle between the forces of light led by Jesus Christ and the forces of darkness led by Satan or the Anti-Christ after the "End of Days".
Megiddo is a tel (hill or mound) made of 26 layers of the ruins of ancient cities in a strategic location at the head of a pass through the Carmel Ridge, which overlooks the Valley of Jezreel from the west.
The Neo-Babylonian Empire or Second Babylonian Empire (also known as Chaldea) refers Babylonia during the 11th, or Chaldean, dynasty.
The old empire was torn apart by civil wars in the middle 7th Century BC.
"Chaldea" meant the southern part of Babylonia, until a Chaldean became the king of Babylon.
This new dynasty ruled between 626 BC when Nabopolassar rebelled against Assyria, till 539 BC when Cyrus the Great captured the city of Babylon.
The king Nebuchadnezzar II ruled this kingdom from 605 BC - 562 BC.

CornerShot is a special-use weapon that can fire around corners.
It was first made in the early 2000s for SWAT teams and special forces in situations usually involving terrorists and hostages.
Its designers were two former Israeli Army senior officers.
It was made with money invested by American investors.
It has several different types.
So far, the types made are the Standard, the 40 mm grenade launcher, the APR, and an Anti-tank version.
It works because its many parts are either on the front or the back end, which are linked by a steel hinge.
It is manufactured by Corner Shot Holdings, LLC, a company in Miami with offices in Israel.
Units have been sold in 15 countries.
The CornerShot was recently evaluated by the UK Ministry of Defence.
Forms and variations
The CornerShot is available in several different types.
A standard pistol version is available, along with a 40 mm grenade launcher.
Because they are fitted with very good digital cameras, any type can also be used as a tool to spy with.
All the models come with the same camera and 2.5 inch color LCD screen.
this provides video and a sighting system with transmission capability.
The flashlight and camera let it work in either day or night.
A variety of cameras, as well as a folding stocks, are available.
An accessory rail is standard.
The standard CornerShot can put a normal semi-automatic pistol in the front part of the weapon.
It has a remote linkage to the trigger mechanism in the rear part.
The mechanism has a trigger pull of 21 newtons (4.7 lbf).
It is 820 millimetres (32.67 in) long, with a weight of 3.86 kilograms (8.5 lb).
40 mm grenade launcher
The 40 mm Grenade Launcher is a breech-loading, single shot grenade launcher.
Manually operated, or it can only fire one round at a time.
It fires all 40 mm grenades, less-deadly and non-deadly ammunition (or what a gun fires), and tear/irritant gas capsules (the container in a liquid or gas is stored).
Spent ammunition is ejected for easier reloading.
The same system is available in 37 mm size for police.
The 40 mm model has a rifling of 1:1.224, is 900 mm long, and weighs 4.4 kg (9.5 lb).

Assault Pistol Rifle (or APR)
The Assault Pistol Rifle mounts an assault pistol in the front part of the weapon to allow the use of rifle bullets.
It fires 5.56 mm ammunition.
The APR pistol can be removed from the CornerShot frame.
CornerShot Panzerfaust (or CSP)
It was first shown at the Eurosatory 2004 military trade show in Paris.
The model for use against armored vehicles is designed to fire Panzerfaust anti-tank rockets.
It can turn 90 degrees instead of the standard 60 degrees.
In the standard version a pistol is mounted in the front end of the weapon, which bends horizontally (like a door does) at a mid-gun sixty-degree hinge.
There is a digital camera and a flashlight attached to the barrel in the bayonet position.
On the butt side of the hinge are the trigger, camera screen (which is on a horizontal hinge just like the mid-gun hinge but it is off of the left side of the gun), and controls for the camera and light.

There are five levels of government in Germany.
The lowest two levels of the German government are called local government.
The five levels of German government are all legally independent.
This means that each level of government has a separate job in Germany.
The German constitution (the Grundgesetz) lists the five levels of government and says what each level should do.
The European Union (or EU).
The EU can make laws that all the other levels of government must execute (do completely);
The Federation or national government.
The national government of Germany is responsible for defence and Foreign policy.
The national government develops standards about the actions of the sixteen Länder (states).
The federation also gives money to poorer states.
It wants all states to be equal.
The sixteen Länder (states).
The state government can create rules for local government in each state.
But state governments cannot "abolish" (officially end) local governments.
Local government is guaranteed by the constitution and the federal government;
The rural districts or counties (Landkreise) and the urban districts or independent towns;
The towns and municipalities, which are parts of a district or perhaps suburbs of an urban district.
Some states have Regierungsbezirke which are a group of counties and cities in an area to help run certain tasks across the area.
Other states have Ämte which is a collection of municipalities (local governments) in a district.
They might do this if the local governments are too small to run some local services.
There are two types of tasks (jobs) for a municipality. "
Voluntary" which a town or municipality can do if it wants, and "mandatory", which are things that a federal or state law says the local government has to do.
Setting up a theatre, a museum, a sports field or a meeting hall is a voluntary task.
If the local government can afford to set these things up, the Land (state) cannot stop them.
Also the Land (state) cannot order the local government to set these things up.
The mandatory self-government tasks are things which a local government must do itself, or must get someone else to do for it.
For example, one of the most important jobs of any local government is to prove its citizens (people who live there) with water, electricity, heating, and gas, as well as wastewater services and waste removal.
A council could run its own waterworks or join with others to share a larger facility.
Modern electricity supply means that a council does not have to run their own power station anymore.
But they must help private companies get the electricity supply to local houses and factories.
Transferred tasks
Although the Federation or state might have the right to control some things, the idea of subsidiarity means that they are administered (carried out) at the lowest possible level.
For example, marriage ceremonies and issuing birth and death certificates are arranged by the town registrar, the Federation and the Land arrange legal and expert supervision so that the task is done properly and is the same across Germany.
General security
Nationality, registration, passport affairs
Registrar's office and civil status
Commercial affairs
Construction matters
Health care, veterinary affairs
Road traffic
Registration of vehicles and vehicle taxation, (national and state laws say which cars can be registered, but local offices do the actual work)
Water legislation and land cultivation
Running Federal and Land parliamentary elections (roughly each district or kreis is a federal constituency, so voter registration and counting could be done by the district, but there are also larger Land based constituencies, so susidiarity make the Land the smallest possible level to handle counting)
Social security affairs, youth care.
Social security rates are set by the federal government, but paid out by municipal authorities.
Protection and maintenance of historical monuments
Forestry and fisheries.

Magistrat system
The town council, or town council meeting is responsible for all jobs not given to the magistrat.
The magistrat is the executive responsible for administering services.
It is chosen by the town council, and can have both professional and honorary members.
The mayor is head of the magistrate, but not of the town council meeting.
The mayor is chosen separately by the people not the council.
the system is only used in Hesse.
It is the oldest system, and the only system where a group of elected people are responsible for the administration, instead of just one, the mayor.
Mayoral system
North German system
Power is split between the mayor and the town clerk.
The mayor has some functions, but day to day administration is done by the professional town clerk.
South German system
Used in Bavaria and the old eastern länder.
The mayor is elected by the people, and he heads the council and the town government.
The council is responsible for nearly all decisions.
Some decisions are taken by the mayor.
The council may give some of its tasks to the mayor, in which case they cannot change the mayor's decision.

The basic rules of genetics were first discovered by a monk named Gregor Mendel in the 1850s, and published in 1866.
For thousands of years, people had noticed how traits are inherited from parents to their children.
However, Mendel's work was different because he did experiments on plants, and designed those experiments very carefully.
Mendel's laws apply widely, but not to all living things.
They apply to any organism which is diploid (has two paired sets of chromosomes) and which engages in sexual reproduction.
They would not apply to bacteria, for example, or to asexual reproduction.
They do apply to the great majority of plants and animals.
Mendel's laws
This happens in meiosis, the production of gametes.
Of each pair of chromosomes, a gamete only gets one.
The factors (genes) determine the organism's traits, and are inherited from its parents.
As the pair of chromosomes separate, each gamete only receives one of each factor.
Mendel also noted that versions of a gene could be either dominant or recessive.
We call those different versions alleles.
This he called the Law of independent assortment.
The second law is only true if the genes are not on the same chromosome.
If they are, then they are linked to each other.
This was the next great discovery after Mendel: that genes were carried on chromosomes.
The closer they were on the chromosomes, the less likely was crossing over between them.
Mendel's laws explained the results he got with his pea plants.
When the chromosome pairs are separated in a gamete, they are randomly segregated.
A gamete might have any proportion from 100% maternally derived to 100% paternally derived chromosomes.
In crossing-over, sections are exchanged between pairs of chromosomes during meiosis.
This increases the number of genetically different individuals in a population, which is important in evolution.
As a consequence of 1 & 2, except for identical twins, no two siblings have identical genetics.

In a large number of crosses, the numbers of offspring with these features will approximate to the ratios given.

Maurizio Giuliano (born 1975) is an Italian jounalist, writer and traveller.
In 2004, he was in the Guinness Book of World Records as the youngest person who has been to all the countries in the world.
In 2006/2007, he worked for the UN.
Maurizio Giuliano was born on 24 February 1975 in Milan, Italy, with a lawyer as a father and a housewife as a mother.
He lived in Cuba, Chile, and Indonesia, among other countries.
As of 2004, he knew eight languages according to one source, while another source specified that he "spoke" five and had a "passion" for two more.
He went to school in Milan and Manchester, and then studied at the University of Oxford in 1996 and the University of Cambridge in 1997.
At Oxford, he studied at University College to know about Oxford's inter-disciplinary course in Philosophy, Politics, and Economics (PPE), especially Latin America and eastern Europe.
Study on Cuba
He wrote two books and some articles on Cuban politics, especially on the US embargo (which usually stops Americans from doing business with Cubans), which he thinks (in the book "La Transición Cubana y el "Bloqueo" Norteamericano" and other works) is not good.
In an article published in the British academic journal Democratization in 1998, he focused in particular on how the US embargo against Cuba helps create "empathy" by third parties towards Cuba, so that Cubans think it is support for Cuba's government.
So he argued that the US Government – in addition to the embargo's direct influence on supporting Cuba's regime – indirectly interferes with the possibility of improving Cuba.
That is because third countries, foreign non-governmental organizations and prominent individuals lend support to Cuba's resistance to the US embargo, and this offsets external pressures for democracy, thereby allowing the Cuban regime to convert such "empathy" into a source of legitimacy at home.
His scholarly work on internal Cuban politics, notably on the 1996 purge of Havana's Centre for American Studies (CEA) (contained in the book "El Caso CEA" published in 1998), has been the object of academic reviews, as it exposed the internal conflicts between Cuba's political apparatus and the country's intelligentsia (most intelligent people), previously unknown.
In 2001, Cuban exiled scholars Alberto Álvarez and Gerardo González, who were among those purged from the CEA, wrote the book "¿ Intelectuales vs. Revolución ?
El caso del Centro de Estudios sobre América", which strongly built upon Giuliano's book to offer further insights on relations between Cuba's political apparatus and the country's intellectuals.
In his journalistic work, he reportedly ran into problems with the authorities of at least two countries.
In 1998, he was denied entry to Myanmar after making contact with the National League for Democracy and taking photos of its leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
And on 30 October 2002, he was reportedly detained and manhandled by Israeli authorities while crossing the Allenby Bridge.
Giuliano's writings have also included lighter topics.
During his time in Kabul, for example, he wrote restaurant reviews for a local English-language magazine.
Political advocacy
In the early 2000s, Giuliano was a consultant for the Italian Senate's Committee on Human Rights.
At that time, at least some of his writings were also intended to influence the positions of the Italian Government on certain human rights issues, as was the case with material that he wrote on North Korea.
Development career
According to the Guinness Book, through his work, he had travelled to every single sovereign country in the world (which totalled 193 according to the Guinness Book) by 20 February 2004, aged 28 years and 361 days.
He claimed that he had visited a total of up to 238 territories (including the 193 sovereign countries recognized by Guinness), and stated that the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (North Korea) had been the hardest country to get into, after numerous attempts and long waits to get a visa.
He started travelling at age 14, and believes that, as of 2004, he had travelled at least two million miles, including on the Trans-Siberian Railway and through 11 round-the-world air journeys.
Some of his earliest journeys were to Albania and Sierra Leone in 1991, aged 16, and to Mongolia in 1992 for their national festivities Naadam.
Most of his later travels were related to his journalistic work.
On 20 February 2004 he visited Suriname, thereby completing his visit to all sovereign nations of the world.
He held a press conference there on 24 February, where he stated that he had chosen Suriname to complete his record, as the country had always fascinated him due to its richness and variety in cultures and ethnicities.
He claimed that most of his travels were unrelated to the record, and that only since 2001, on the suggestion of friends, did he have the Guinness Record in mind when planning his travels.
In explaining his record, however, he stated that he might have an "addiction to crossing borders".

Aang is a fictional character and the main hero in Nickelodeon's television series Avatar: The Last Airbender.
The character was made by Michael Dante DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko and voiced by Zach Tyler Eisen.
He has take part in all the episodes of Avatar, except "Zuko Alone" (7th episode of Book 2).
Aang is also in the first episode, "The Boy In The Iceberg".
Aang appears in other media, like trading cards (a card that is collected), video games, T-shirts, and web comics.
Aang is the last Airbender.
They were the only race of people who could control the air.
He is  112 years old.
He has not become older because he had been frozen in an iceberg for 96 years, and is still like a 12 year old, because he used Avatar State to protect himself and his bison.
In the second show, it is discovered that Aang is the living form of the Avatar.
This is the spirit of the planet in human form.
As the Avatar, Aang controls the elements and must keep the Four Nations at peace.
The show follows Aang's journeys to do this.
Most of Aang's habits, such as vegetarianism, are based on Buddhist and Taoist tradition.
Aang is the series' unwilling hero.
He shows hesitation when joining his friends to save the world from the Fire Nation.
His "lighthearted" personality has been praised by critics.
The creators wanted Aang to "win enemies with his wits" and be a "trickster hero".
Aang's character was created by Bryan Konietzko.
The sketch showed a middle-aged man with an arrow on his head.
Konietzko changed the character into a picture of a child with a flying bison.
At the same time, Michael Dante DiMartino was interested in a documentary about explorers trapped in the South Pole.
The idea caused the pair to think:
The plot they described relates with the first and second episodes of the series, where the "water people" (Katara and Sokka) find the "air guy" (Aang) while "trapped in a snowy wasteland" (the Southern Water Tribe) with "some fire people [that] are pressing down on them" (Fire Navy and Zuko).
The creators of the show made Aang to be frozen in an iceberg for 1000 years.
He was to wake inside a futuristic world, where he would have a robot named Momo and a flying bison named Appa.
The creators lost interest in the theme, and changed it to 100 years of suspended animation.
The robotic Momo was changed to a flying lemur, and the herd of bison was reduced to one.
Aang's character has a well grown cultural belief.
According to the show's creators, "Avatar based on the belief of Buddhism and Taoism."
A important part of the character is his vegetarian diet, regular with Buddhism or Taoism.
In the Brahmajala Sutra, a Buddhist code of ethics, vegetarianism is encouraged.
In "The King of Omashu" (the 5th episode of first season), Aang shows his vegetarian beliefs by refusing to eat meat.
Aang shows a reluctance to fight and an dislike of killing.
In "The Spirit World (Winter Solstice, Part 1)", Aang gets into a fight with an angry spirit who is destroying a village because the people burned his home (one forest).
Instead of fighting the spirit, Aang talks with it.
Airbending, the element that Aang mainly uses in the show, is based on Baguazhang, an "internal" Chinese martial art.
This fighting style focuses on circular movements, and does not have many finishing moves.
These characteristics were meant to show the unpredictability of air and the peaceful nature of Airbenders in the show.
In the episode "Tales of Ba Sing Se" (the 15th episode of second season), Aang’s name was written as  (ān áng) in Chinese.
In the series
The creators of the show call each season a "book" and each episode a "chapter"; each of these books was take the name of element that Aang must control, except the air.
Flashbacks also reveal events that happened before the show opened.
In a flashback during "The Storm", Aang remembered the day when elder monks told him that he was the Avatar.
Monk Gyatso, Aang's teacher and father-figure, said that Aang must be raised as a normal child.
Nearing the end, the monks began to believe that Gyatso interfered too much, so they decide to send Aang to the Eastern Air Temple.
Aang refuses to be torn away from his mentor; he writes a note for Gyatso before flying away on his bison, Appa.
It is revealed in the first episodes of the show that a violent storm catches Aang and sends him into the ocean during his escape.
Aang then enters the Avatar State, unknowingly, for the first time to encase himself and Appa in a frozen air bubble.
An image of this air bubble, resembling an iceberg, ends the flashback.
After the 100 years he was in the iceberg with his bison, the story starts when Katara and her brother Sokka free Aang and Appa in the first episode.
In the next episode, they all started the trip to the Northern Water Tribe, with hope to find a waterbending master to teach Aang and Katara how to control the water.
During their journey they are chased by Zuko, the banished prince of the Fire Nation, who must capture the Avatar to return his honor.
In one episode, Aang meets his previous incarnation, Avatar Roku (born on Fire Nation), who said him that he must learn all four bending arts and win Fire Lord Ozai before the end of summer.
When the team, named team "Avatar", arrived in the Northern Water Tribe, a Waterbender named Master Pakku teaches Aang (and later Katara) waterbending.
Later, in the second season, Aang meets Toph Bei Fong, a blind earthbending, who becomes his earthbending teacher.
Later, Aang and his friends learn about the solar eclipse, which will occur before the end of the summer, and will block the Firebenders powerless.
During the season finale, a guru tried to teach Aang how to open up his seven chakras in order to control the Avatar State.
When Aang has a vision of Katara being in danger, he leaves the Air Temple where he is being taught before the seventh chakra is opened, locking it.
He then battles in the underground caverns of Ba Sing Se.
He is killed when Azula strikes him with lightning, but is brought back to life thanks to Katara's special water that has healing abilities, and also her healing abilities.
In the third season, Aang and his friends had to win a new enemy - an killer hired by Zuko who shoots with his third eye.
Aang and his friends from Earth Kingdom attack the Fire Nation capital during the solar eclipse, but the invasion failed because Azula knew about it.
In the next episode, Zuko offers to teach Aang firebending.
Aang accepts, despite the group's strong opposition.
In "The Firebending Masters" (the 13th episode of third season) Aang learns firebending with the help of the last two dragons.
Before the final battle with Ozai, he is trapped with his friends because he does not find correct he kills Ozai.
After he sleepwalks into a forest, he speaks with four previous Avatars (Roku, Kyoshi, Kuruk, Yangchen), and asking for advice.
Each gives him a reason to kill the Fire Lord Ozai, discouraging him.
After discovering that the forest is atop a swimming lion-turtle, and receiving advice from said lion-turtle, he prepares to confront the Fire Lord.
Once Ozai arrives, Aang engages him in battle.
After sparing Ozai when redirecting his lightning and then being backed into a corner, Aang enters the Avatar State.
The Avatar State tips the battle in Aang's favor, and makes swift work of Ozai.
Using a technique taught to him by the lion-turtle, which called Energybending, Aang removes Ozai's ability to firebend, effectively eliminating the threat.
Later, in the Fire Nation capital, Aang is seen in monk robes, standing beside Zuko while he become Fire Lord.
He is later seen relaxing with his friends in Ba Sing Se.
The series ends with Aang and Katara kissing.
Aang is a vegetarian, as shown in "The King of Omashu" (the 5th episode of first season) and "The Headband" (the 2nd episode of  third season) when he refuses to eat meat since the Air Nomads taught him that life is holy.
Aang states a reluctance to fight in "The Spirit World (Winter Solstice, Part 1)"; Aang hopelessly negotiates with a spirit who is destroying a village instead of fighting.
Due to his non-violent nature, he also shows ethical reluctance refusing to killing Firelord Ozai, and eventually strips Ozai of his bending instead of killing him.
In the show, Aang has a complex network of friends extending over all four nations.
Aang, in "The Storm" (the 12th episode of first season), said that he wishes he had been there to help Air Nomads a century ago, but would rather live a child's carefree life.
Many times in the show, Aang shows how much he cares for those are close to him.
He also showed that he can act immaturely, and once tried to deceive others in order to keep the group together.
In "Bato of the Water Tribe" (the 15th episode of first season), Aang thinks Katara and Sokka might leave to visit their father.
Aang hides the map showing their father's whereabouts and lies about having it in the first place.
In some episodes, he shows flight abilities with airbending.
One technique for this is to make a sphere of air and ride on it, which Aang calls the Air Scooter.
Other methods of flying include his glider, and Appa.
In the Avatar State, Aang can also fly inside a ball of air.
In the show's intended demographics, Aang has been received very well.
Kendall Lyons said that, "Aang seems to be the happy kid that you can easily familiarize yourself with", and that he "seems to bring comfort in the most dangerous or trouble situations."
There are many similar descriptions about Aang as a childlike character who is "reckless and excitable".
Reviews point out that "as the Avatar, Aang seems unstoppable, but as Aang, he is just another like an airbender".
The review says later that the show continues to focus on a more realistic character instead of a perfect one by showing many weaknesses in his character.
Aang's character showed in the Avatar: The Last Airbender Trading Card Game.
He is 1 of the 4 characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender video game, a video game based on the first season of the show.
Two sequels were made: Avatar: The Last Airbender - The Burning Earth, a video game based on the second season of the show, and Avatar: The Last Airbender - Into the Inferno, a video game based on the third season.
Avatar T-shirts, some with Aang's face on them, are being sold on the Nickelodeon Shop website.
Tokyopop has published a films comic (sometimes referred to as cine-manga), in which Aang is the main character, like in Avatar: The Last Airbender.
Aang is in Escape from the Spirit World, an online video game that is on Nickelodeon's real website.
The game has some plot changes that are not in the show.
The show's directors, Michael DiMartino and Bryan Konietzko, say the events are canon.
In 2008, M. Night Shyamalan, a film director, cast 12-year-old Tae Kwon Do practitioner Noah Ringer as Aang in the film adaptation of the series, The Last Airbender.
The casting of a white actor in the role of Aang (as well as a primarily Caucasian cast) in the Asian-influenced Avatar universe triggered negative reactions from some fans marked by accusations of racism, a letter-writing campaign, and a protest outside of a Philadelphia casting call for movie extras.
The casting decisions were also negatively received by several critics who stated that the original casting call expressed a preference for Caucasian actors over others.
Gordon Cormier will play the character in the Netflix live-action remake of the series.

Characters of Avatar: The Last Airbender
Fictional characters introduced in 2005

The religion started in the city of Porto Alegre, the capital of Rio Grande do Sul.
Macumba is one of the Afro-Brazilian religion that mixes Umbanda, Quimbanda, Candomblé and other religions, in Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo and specially Bahia, Brazil, where those religions were born.
Umbanda is the only 100% Brazilian religion.
It mixes Candomblé and Kardecism.

Jak and Daxter is a series of video games, developed by the company Naughty Dog.
It is named after the two heroes of the games.
Right now, five games are in the series.
Daxter (prequel to Jak II)
Where the games happen
All of the Jak and Daxter games happen on a planet that is similar to Earth, where many creatures who look like humans with long ears live.
A long time ago, beings called "Precursors" lived on the planet, but disappeared, and the people use the machines the Precursors left behind.
Outside of cities and villages, there are many wild and dangerous animals.
A substance called "Eco" is also used by the people.
It can be found as gas, liquid, or even solid crystals.
There are several different kinds of Eco, and all the different Ecos can do special things.
Green Eco can heal injuries or damage, and Blue Eco can make things move faster.
There is also Dark Eco, a dangerous kind of Eco which can kill or mutate.
In the first Jak and Daxter game, Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy, the character Daxter falls into a pit full of Dark Eco and turns into an "Ottsel", a fictional, or not real, cross between an otter and a weasel.
When Naughty Dog first told people about Jak and Daxter, people were very excited, because Naughty Dog had made the famous Crash Bandicoot series.
Jak and Daxter: The Precursor Legacy was one of the first video games to use something called streaming, which means that the game loads while it is being played, so there are no loading screens.
It was also very similar to the games Super Mario 64 and Banjo-Kazooie, because players need to jump, explore, and collect a special kind of object to win the game.
After The Precursor Legacy, the Jak and Daxter games started to be about other things, not just jumping and finding things.
Jak II, the second game, gives the player guns to shoot and vehicles to drive.
This is like in the Grand Theft Auto video games.
The first three games of the Jak series; Precursor Legacy, Jak II, and Jak 3; are still mainly about platforming.
The player controls the character Jak or the character Daxter in jumping puzzles to get to a goal.
The character can only get hit by wild animals or monsters only a few times before dying and having to start the goal over, but the character can get life back by touching Green Eco.
In Jak 3, the player can get armor that lets Jak be hit more before dying.
Geo was a brand of economy cars sold by Chevrolet dealerships.
Geo was founded in 1989 to compete with Japanese automotives.
Geo's roots date back to the 1970s in which General Motors began selling and offering captive imports.
The Buick Opel which was originally an Isuzu Gemini and was also offered to future GM marque Daewoo as the Maepsy (which was sold as a Saehan and later Daewoo model).
Geo cars were a joint venture between GM and its Japanese partners which included Toyota, Suzuki and Isuzu.
Chevrolet's revived Nova (the Corolla Sprinter) led to Chevrolet Sprint (Suzuki Cultus) and the Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini).
All three cars were rebranded as Geo in 1989.
Geo was cancelled in 1997 and merged into the Chevrolet brand.
The Geo models were the Metro, Prizm, Storm, Tracker, and Spectrum.
The Prizm was made at New United Motor Manufacturing, Inc. which was jointly owned by Toyota and General Motors.
While the Metro and Tracker were made at CAMI Automotive a joint venture between GM and Suzuki, and the Storm and Spectrum were made entirely in Japan by Isuzu, and because of dwindling Isuzu sales they were short-lived.
Many Geo models continued as Chevrolet's and were later replaced by in-house cars (i.e. Chevrolet Cobalt (Geo Prizm), a another joint venture vehicle or inherited models from GM Daewoo/Korea.

Pontiac Vibe discontinued in 2009 due to General Motors and Toyota's decision to close down NUMMI.

Malware, short for malicious software, is any software intentionally designed to cause damage to a computer.
There are different kinds of malware that can hurt computers, such as viruses, Trojan horses, spyware and ransomware.
These programs can steal passwords, delete files, collect personal information, or even stop a computer from working at all.
Computer security or anti-malware software is usually good at stopping malware from installing itself.
When security software is not installed, malware can get into the computer.
Getting rid of malware can be difficult, even when using programs designed to remove it.
The term "malware" refers only to software that is made for malicious purposes and works against users' expectations — and so does not include applications that may do unintended harm due to software bugs.
People first started writing malware in the 1970s and early 1980s.
Computers were very simple then.
They did not have any interesting information for malware to take.
Instead, people wrote malware for fun or just to show that they could.
Even the most common piece of malware from this time did not do damage to people's computers.
In fact, malware was so rare that the word "malware" was not coined until 1990.
More people started using the computers in the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Computers were getting more complex and faster.
People saw that they could use malware to get useful information now, like passwords and credit card information.
So, more programmers started writing malware.
The number of malware programs on the Internet has grown very quickly ever since then the late 1990s and is still growing today.
Experts think that 31.5% of the world's computers have some type of malware installed.
