The American lion (Panthera leo or P. atrox) is also known as  Naegele’s giant jaguar or American cave lion.
It is an extinct species of lion which lived in North America during the Pleistocene (340,000 years ago to 11,000 years ago).
It existed for about 330,000 thousand years.
The American lion belonged to the family Felidae.
By analysing the species' genes, scientists have shown that it shared the same ancestor as the Eurasian cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea or P. spelaea).
Most remains have come from the La Brea tar pits.
The American lion was large, slightly larger than the early middle Pleistocene cave lion, P. leo fossilis and about 25% larger than the modern African lion.
There is no evidence that it was a social hunter like the modern lion, and that may explain its size.
Panthera leo atrox hunted large mammals such as horses, camels, bison and mammoth.

A police dog (also called a K-9) is a dog trained to help police and other law enforcement people.
German Shepherds are the most common breed, but other breeds are also used.
If a police dog is killed in duty, it is usually given a full police funeral.
K-9s are often given their own ballistic vests, and some are given their own police IDs and badges.
What can police dogs do?
A police dog may be trained to do one special thing, or a few different things.
Common K-9 jobs include:
Searching for drugs (for example, in prisons or during arrests)
Searching for explosives
Searching for crime scene evidence
Chasing and holding suspects
Making suspects less likely to fight police because of fear that the dog will be released (this is called "bark and hold" - the dog barks aggressively to scare the suspect while its handler holds its leash)
Protecting police officers
Specialized police dogs
There are also specialized police dogs, who are used only for a specific job because they have special skills or training for that job.
Sentry and attack dogs find and catch suspects or enemies.
They also provide security for important areas.
Search and rescue dogs (SAR) find missing people, people who are running from the police, or missing objects.
Bloodhounds are often used for this task because they are very good at sniffing out and following scents from people or objects.
Detection or explosive-sniffing dogs scent (smell) illegal drugs and explosives.
In many countries, beagles are used in airports to sniff people's baggage for items that are not permitted.
Because beagles act and look very friendly, they do not worry most passengers.
Arson dogs are trained to  detect traces of accelerants (things that would start or worsen a fire) at sites of suspected arson.
Cadaver dogs are trained to sniff out decomposing bodies.
Dogs' noses are so sensitive that they are even able to smell bodies that are under running water Important work was done by Dr. Debra Komar at the University of Alberta, along with the RCMP Civilian Search Dog Association in this area.
As a result, training techniques were developed, and cadaver-sniffing dogs now have near 100% accuracy rates.
Her research has been published in the Journal of Forensic Anthropology.
Popular breeds
Different breeds of police dogs tend to be good at different things.
However, any good police dog should be intelligent, aggressive, strong, and have a good sense of smell.
Many police dogs are male and unneutered (because neutering can make a dog less aggressive).
However, there are female police dogs, which are used for rescue, tracking, and locating bombs and drugs.
German Shepherd Dogs and Belgian Malinois are the most commonly used; however, other dog breeds (and their specialties) include:
American Pitbull Terrier (skilled at search and rescue/tracking, attack dogs, and finding bombs and drugs)
Beagle (good at locating bombs and drugs.
Used worldwide.)
Belgian Malinois (often used for protection, attack dogs, finding IEDs, finding evidence and drugs, prisoner transport, and human tracking.)
Bloodhound (very good at tracking and identifying things by their smell; used for tracking and locating bombs, drugs, and evidence.)
Doberman Pinscher (used as a protection and attack dog)
Dutch Shepherd (also used as a protection and attack dog)
Springer Spaniel (good at locating bombs and drugs)
German Shepherd Dog (often used for protection, attack dogs, ground-based tracking, air-based tracking, and finding dead bodies, drugs, evidence, and IEDs)
German Shorthaired Pointer (good at ground-based tracking and air-based tracking, as well as finding drugs and evidence)
Labrador Retriever (skilled at locating bombs and drugs)

Dara Howell (born August 23, 1994 in Huntsville, Ontario) is a Canadian freestyle skier.
She skied for Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi and became the first freestyle skier to win a gold medal in slopestyle at the inaugural event.
She has also competed in women's slopestyle at the Winter X Games XVII in Aspen, Colorado where she won a bronze medal.
Howell dedicated her win to Sarah Burke and said: "Oh, my God.
It is so surreal and I am so happy to win a gold medal for Canada.
I don't think it will hit me until later.
It is truly amazing.
There are a number of really good girls out there and I came out on top.
This is the best moment in my entire life...I said it earlier this week, I hope a Canadian brings home a gold medal for Sarah.
I can't believe it's me.
It's totally for Sarah and I cannot believe it."
The tarsal formula is the number of segments on the tarsi of arthropods.
The tarsus is the bottom part of an arthropod's legs, see diagram.
The formula has 3 numbers a-b-c, starting with the front leg (a), then the middle leg (b), then the hind leg (c).
For example, a tarsal formula of "5-5-4" means there are 5 segments in the fore leg's tarsi, 5 segments in the middle leg's tarsi, and 4 segments in the hind leg's tarsi.
This character is especially useful at family rank and higher.
Leaf beetles are the family Chrysomelidae.
There are over 35,000 species in more than 2,500 genera, so it is one of the largest and most common of all beetle families.
Many subfamilies are recognized.
Leaf beetles have a tarsal formula which appears to be 4-4-4, but is actually 5-5-5.
Some are difficult to tell from long-horned beetles (family Cerambycidae): it is done by the antennae not arising from frontal tubercles.
Adult and larval leaf beetles feed on all sorts of plant tissue.
Their diversity has run parallel with that of the Angiosperms.
Many are serious pests of cultivated plants, for example the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata), the asparagus beetle (Crioceris asparagi), the cereal leaf beetle (Oulema melanopus), and various flea beetles.
A few act as vectors of plant diseases.
Others can be used as biocontrol of invasive weeds.
Most Chrysomelidae are conspicuously coloured, often in glossy yellow to red or metallic blue-green hues.
Some (especially Cassidinae) have spectacularly bizarre shapes.
They are highly popular among insect collectors.
Subfamily Bruchinae – includes the bean weevils or seed beetles.
They feed on seeds, some even on toxic seeds.
Subfamily Cassidinae – includes the tortoise beetles and prickly leaf beetles.
A recent offshoot of the Hispanae.
Subfamily Chrysomelinae – includes the broad-bodied leaf beetles. "
They defend themselves with a pot-pourri of toxins".
Subfamily Criocerinae – includes the asparagus beetles and lily beetles
Subfamily Cryptocephalinae – includes  cylindrical leaf beetles and warty leaf beetle. "
The larvae eat dead leaves and carry a protective case made of faecal and debris particles".
Subfamily Donaciinae – includes the longhorned leaf beetles
Subfamily Eumolpinae – includes the oval leaf beetles
Subfamily Galerucinae – includes the flea beetles.
The former subfamily Altricinae is included.
Subfamily Hispanae – many are leaf miners.
Subfamily Sagrinae – frog-legged beetles or kangaroo beetles, diverse in Australia. "
They have spiny hind legs built like nutcrackers that grasp and impale attackers".
Records from the Cretaceous period are scarce: only three records are known.
An early Cretaceous origin from a more general form is suggested by Grimaldi and Engel.
Then came an Upper Cretaceous divergence of Chrysolmelid sub-groups, and adaptive radiation connected to that of the flowering plants.
The House of Braganza (Portuguese: Casa de Bragança; Portuguese pronunciation: [bɾɐˈɣɐ̃sɐ]), officially the Most Serene House of Braganza (Portuguese: Sereníssima Casa de Bragança), is an important imperial, royal, and noble house (dynasty) of Portuguese origin.
It is a branch of the House of Aviz.
The House changed from being powerful dukes of Portuguese nobility, to ruling as the monarchs of Portugal and the Algarves, from 1640 to 1910.
They were also monarchs of Brazil, from 1815 to 1889.
The heir to the Portuguese throne was usually given the title of "Duke of Braganza".
The House of Braganza was founded in 1442.
This is when Afonso, 8th Count of Barcelos, was made Duke of Braganza.
Alfonso (Alfonso I) was an illegitimate son of King João I of Portugal, of the House of Aviz.
He was made a duke by his nephew, King Afonso V of Portugal.
The feudal dukes quickly collected a fortune in properties, titles, and power.
By the mid 1600s, the House was the most powerful in all of Portugal.
It was also of the greatest houses of Iberia.
The House of Braganza became the reigning house of Brazil, first, when the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil, and the Algarves was created in 1815.
The United Kingdom lasted until 1822, when the Brazilian Empire became independent from Portugal.
The new Brazilian nation was led by Prince Pedro of Braganza, heir to the Portuguese throne, who ruled as Emperor Pedro I of Brazil, as well as King Pedro IV of Portugal.
Until 1835, the Portuguese Braganzas were still in the line of succession to the Brazilian throne.
The House was deposed (removed) from the Brazilian throne, in 1889, when Brazil was proclaimed a republic.
The House continued to be the claimant house to the Brazilian throne until 1921.
This is when Isabel, Princess Imperial of Brazil, daughter of Emperor Pedro II of Brazil, died.
Her claim passed to her son, Prince Pedro Henrique of Orléans and Braganza.
Thus the House of Orléans-Braganza became the claimant house to the former monarchy of Brazil.
Pedro Henrique died in 1981.
The current claimant is his eldest son, Prince Luiz.
In Portugal, King Carlos I of Portugal was assassinated in 1908.
Also killed in the attack was his eldest son.
His younger son, Manuel II, became king.
When the Portuguese Republic was established, in 1910, King Manuel II and the rest of the Braganzas went into exile.

The common yabby, Cherax destructor, is an Australian freshwater crustacean.
It is in the Parastacidae family.
It is listed as a vulnerable species of crayfish by the World Conservation Union (IUCN).
But wild yabby populations remain strong, and have expanded into new habitats created by reservoirs and farm dams.
Its common name of "yabby" is also applied to many other Australian Cherax species of crustacean.
The name is also applied marine ghost shrimp of the infra-order Thalassinidea.
Yabbies occasionally reach up to 30 cm (12 in) in length but are more commonly 10–20 cm (4–8 in) long.
Colour is highly variable and depends on water clarity (how clear it is) and habitat.
Yabbies can range from black, blue-black or dark brown in clear waters to light brown, green-brown or beige in dark waters.
Yabbies specifically bred to be a vibrant blue colour are now popular in the aquarium trade in Australia.

Tianhe-2 is a supercomputer built by the National University of Defense Technology in China.
It can do more than 33,862 million million operations every second.
It is the fastest computer in the world.
It is twice as fast as the Tianhe-1, the previous fastest supercomputer.
It is predicted to become even faster by 2015, reaching speeds of 100,000 million million operations every second.
The computer's name means "milky way".
The building of Tianhe-2 was expected to be finished in 2015, but was finished in 2013 instead.
Proposed applications for the supercomputer include physics-related applications, such as studying combustion and magnetism.
It is also being used to model the atmosphere.
Tianhe-2 can do 33,862 trillion operations per second.
It could possibly do 54,900 trillion operations per second.
It uses more than three million processor cores.
The supercomputer uses 17.8 million watts of power.
The cost of construction was 2.4 billion yuan.
A fossil-fuel power station is a power station that makes electricity by burning certain fuels.
Its machines change the heat energy that comes from burning the fuels into mechanical energy.
The mechanical energy is then used to work an electrical generator.
The generator makes the electricity.
The fuels used in these kind of power stations are fossil fuels, such as coal and natural gas, which when burnt give off carbon dioxide, which is a greenhouse gas.
Fossil-fuel power stations are the biggest cause of global warming.

The Hague Convention on Protection of Children and Co-operation in Respect of Intercountry Adoption (or simply Hague Adoption Convention), provides certain protections to children.
It guarantees the protection of children from child trafficking.
It also guarantees them safe adoption and a quick adoption process.
In May 1993 the proposal was presented at the seventeenth session of The Hague Convention.
It became effective in 1995.
The United States ratified the Hague Adoption Convention in December 2007.
Forty-six countries had ratified the treaty as of May 2002.
Thirteen more had yet to ratify it.
Many countries which have not ratified the Convention do not permit foreign adoptions of their children nor adoptions of foreign children.
For example, Muslim countries do not permit foreign adoptions.
Adopting children from one country into a family from another is a relatively new idea.
It developed after World War II.
By the 1970s it became a fairly common event.
But it was soon recognized this was creating a number of legal and human problems.
There were few domestic and international laws that adequately protected children's rights.
The Hague Adoption Convention of 1993 addressed these concerns.
The Convention gave the responsibility of providing the protection against child trafficking, safe adoption and a quick adoption process to the countries and to adoption agencies.
The convention also raised several ethical concerns.
In a normal domestic adoption the child loses connections and identification with their biological family.
In an international adoption a child may also lose identification with their nationality and ethnicity.
Adoptions that span countries should be considered only after all efforts to place adopted children within their own country.
UNICEF, by comparison, does not encourage international adoptions.
They encourage nations to adopt within their own country.
The Future for international adoptions
There has been a sharp decline in international adoptions in the last few years.
Romania, for one, has ended all foreign adoptions.
Belarus and the Ukraine closed foreign adoptions for 2007.
The 5000 adoptions from China in 2005 dropped to 4000 in 2006.
Wars and natural disasters were the reasons for massive adoptions from the affected countries in the past.
But the international community is no longer in favor of this as a solution.
Adoptions from Africa are increasing, however.
The number of Orphans from Liberia and Ethiopia have increased from 2006–2008.
But the costs to adopt a child from another country have risen.
This is due in part to the steps taken by the convention to prevent abuse of the system.

The  Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a Federal law that amends the Fair Labor Standards Act.
It prohibits wage disparity based solely on gender.
It was signed into law on June 10, 1963 by John F. Kennedy, who at that time was President of the United States.
The principle was equal pay for equal work regardless of sex.
In 1868 a major objective of the Knights of Labor was equal pay for men and women.
During World War I and World War II the National War Labor Board had the power to set labor standards for American businesses.
During the Korean War the Wage Stabilization Board set these standards.
In all three cases they set equal pay policies for both sexes during wartime.
During the war, Rosie the Riveter was paid the same wage as males doing the same job.
In 1919 two states, Michigan and Montana, passed equal pay laws.
But it wasn't until after World War II that any other states followed their examples.
The United States Women's Bureau, a part of the United States Department of Labor, was established in 1920.
Since their start they have pushed for equal pay.
In 1952 the National Committee for Equal Pay was established as a coalition of several woman's, labor, business, and civic group|groups.
They began a campaign for new laws requiring equal pay.
In 1945 the 79th Congress introduced an equal pay bill that did not pass.
It was 18 years later when the 88th Congress passed such legislation.
It was called the Equal Pay Act of 1963.
As an amendment to the Fair Labor Standards Act, the Equal Pay Act of 1963 made it against Federal law to discriminate against workers on the basis of gender.
This is when "tasks require equal skill, effort, and responsibility under similar working conditions."
President John F. Kennedy signed this into law on June, 10 1963.
At the ceremony held in the Oval Office of the White House president Kennedy gave special recognition to several groups and individuals who worked towards this law.
Among those honored were Congresswomen Edna Kelly and Edith Green, Assistant Secretary of Labor Esther Peterson, National Council of Negro Women President Dr. Dorothy Height and Business and Professional Women's Foundation President Dr. Minnie Miles.
The act passed largely due to Congress recognizing the changing workforce in the United States.
Male-supported households were becoming obsolete as more women entered the workforce.
Higher divorce rates meant more female-supported households.
But in the 1960s women earned only 60 cents for every dollar paid to male workers.
The Equal Pay Act was intended as part of the solution to unequal pay.
The Civil Rights Act of 1964, Title VII, added more to the Equal Pay Act by making it unlawful to discriminate based on race or sex.
Title VII also added White-collar worker to the Act.
By the 1970s women were earning 75 cents per male-earned dollar.
According to US Department of Labor statistics, in 2007 the rate was still at about 75 cents.
The gap between college educated women and college educated men has actually widened slightly.
In Fortune 500 companies (top US corporations) women still hold only about 17% of top positions.
As of 2010 the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that women who worked full-time earned about 81 cents for every (full-time) male-earned dollar.
Chloé Dufour-Lapointe (born December 2, 1991 in Montreal, Quebec) is a Canadian freestyle skier.
She skied in the moguls events for Canada at the 2014 Winter Olympics in Sochi where she won a silver medal.

Miranda v. Arizona, , was a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court.
The Court ruled that a suspect in police custody must be informed of the right to consult with an attorney before and during questioning.
They must be informed of the right against self-incrimination.
They must also make certain the suspect understands these rights.
The Miranda warning (often abbreviated to "Miranda," or "Mirandizing" a suspect) is the name of the formal warning that is required to be given by police in the United States to criminal suspects.
It must be given before they are interrogated, in accordance with the Miranda ruling.
Its purpose is to ensure the accused are aware of these rights under the U.S. Constitution.
Also so they know they know they can invoke them at any time during the interview.
On 13 March 1963, Ernesto Miranda was arrested by police officers in Phoenix, Arizona.
Miranda asked why he was being arrested but was given no answer.
At the time of his arrest he was not charged with any crime.
Ten days earlier an 18-year old girl claimed she had been sexually assaulted.
When she talked to the police, her story changed several times.
A few days later she was leaving work and saw a suspicious car she thought might be the same as the one used in her assault.
A partial license plate led police to arrest and question Miranda.
In a lineup, the girl could not identify her attacker but thought he looked similar to Miranda.
During the interview with Miranda, police told the suspect he failed the lineup.
After hours of interrogation Miranda finally signed a confession.
Police also got Miranda to confess to two other cases of abduction and robbery which "cleared" two more cases.
Miranda v Arizona
The case of Ernesto Miranda and three other similar cases were heard before the Supreme Court.
All four defendants did not have attorneys present when they were questioned.
The decision was announced on 13 June 1966 by Chief Justice Earl Warren.
Because of the important changes it made, he read the entire sixty pages.
Four justices disagreed with the ruling.
Their argument was that all the defendants confessed.
Their opinion was that allowing lawyers in interrogations would prevent most suspects from confessing.
As a result Ernesto Miranda's first conviction was overturned but he faced a second trial on sexual assault and kidnapping charges in 1967.
His confession could not be used against him but the prosecutor got Miranda's girlfriend to testify he told her he did it.
She said it happened three days after his police confession.
He was found guilty and got the same sentence again.
Typical Miranda warning
There are some 17,000 police departments in the United States.
They use any of hundreds of different versions of the Miranda warning.
These range from a few words to over 400.
One reason is that many fall into vulnerable groups who do not always understand written or oral Miranda warnings.
These include those who are deaf, do not speak or read English well, juveniles, mentally ill, and or the mentally challenged.
The courts have been less than protective of the rights of these groups who may not have understood their Miranda rights.
Like the Miranda warnings, other countries have written rights they give to suspects before police begin their questioning.
They have procedures to insure a confession is valid in their court systems.
The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms for example, provides that if someone is arrested they have certain rights.
These are to be promptly told why they were arrested, told they have a right to retain legal council and the right of proof of habeas corpus (or be released from custody).

Leishmaniasis or leishmaniosis is a disease caused by protozoan parasites of the genus Leishmania.
It is spread by the bite of certain types of sandflies.
Cutaneous leishmaniasis: skin ulcers
Mucocutaneous leishmaniasis:  ulcers of the skin, mouth and nose
Visceral leishmaniasis: starts with skin ulcers, then fever, low red blood cells, and a large spleen and liver
Leishmaniasis in humans is caused by more than 20 species of Leishmania.
Risk factors include poverty, malnutrition, deforestation and urbanization.
All three types can be diagnosed by identifying the parasites under a microscope.
The visceral form can be diagnosed with a blood test.
Leishmaniasis can be partly prevented by sleeping under nets treated with insecticide.
Another way is using insecticides to kill sandflies.
Early treatment of people with the disease also helps prevent further spread.
The treatment needed is determined by where the disease is acquired, the species of Leishmania and the type of infection.
Medications used for the visceral form include: liposomal amphotericin B, a combination of pentavalent antimonials and paromomycin, and miltefosine.
For the cutaneous form, paromomycin, fluconazole or pentamidine can help.
As of 2014, about 12 million people are infected in some 98 countries.
There are about 2 million new cases each year.
Each year, between 20 thousand and 50 thousand people die from the disease.
About 200 million people in Asia, Africa, South and Central America and southern Europe live in areas where the disease is common.
The World Health Organization has gotten discounts on some medications to treat the disease.
The parasites that cause the disease also infect other mammals: The disease has been described in dogs, cats, rodents, cattle and horses.
In addition to the mammal, the parasite needs an insect that spreads the parasite through its sting.
Lifecycle of the parasite
Leishmaniasis is transmitted by the bite of infected female sandflies.
These can transmit the infection Leishmania.
The sandflies inject the infective stage, metacyclic promastigotes, during blood meals (1).
Metacyclic promastigotes that reach the puncture wound are phagocytized by macrophages (2) and transform into amastigotes (3).
Amastigotes multiply in infected cells and affect different tissues, depending in part on which Leishmania species is involved (4).
The differences in the type of tissue affected are responsible for the different visible types of leishmaniasis.
Sandflies become infected during blood meals on infected hosts when they ingest macrophages infected with amastigotes (5,6).
In the sandfly's midgut, the parasites differentiate into promastigotes (7), which multiply, differentiate into metacyclic promastigotes, and migrate to the proboscis (8).
The genomes of three Leishmania species have been sequenced and this has provided much information about the biology of the parasite.
Leishmania has unique features with respect to the regulation of gene expression in response to changes in the environment.
The new knowledge from these studies may help identify new targets for drugs and aid the development of vaccines.

Geocentrism is the belief that the Earth is fixed at the centre of the Universe.
Geocentrists accept that the earth is round.
Before the 16th century most people believed in the theory of geocentrism.
From Earth, it looks like the Sun and stars are moving across the sky.
In about 150 AD the Greek astronomer, Ptolemy wrote a book to explain in great detail how the spherical Earth is surrounded by things that move in the sky.
From the time of Ptolemy through to the 16th Century AD educated people who knew the earth is round almost always believed the Geocentric theory of Ptolemy.
From the 15th to the 17th century, astronomers, especially Copernicus, Galileo and Kepler, found evidence that the Earth is not fixed but moves round the Sun.
That is called heliocentrism.

Young Earth creationism (YEC) is the pseudoscientific belief that the God of Judaism or Christianity created the Universe, the Earth and all life on Earth over a short time between 5,700 and 10,000 years ago.
Those who believe young Earth creationism are mainly Christians and Jews.
They believe the Genesis account of creation in the Bible is completely true.
Young Earth creationists believe that God created the Earth in six 24-hour days.
They disagree with other creationists because they believe the Bible is literally true when it tells the age of the Earth.
Many scientists agree together that young Earth creationism is wrong and know about experiments and observations (facts that scientists have seen, heard, recorded with their instruments) in their theory.
Scientists believe that the universe is more than 13 billion years old while the earth existed for 4.5 billion years according to scientific theory.
Some old Earth creationists believe God did each act of creation in a day but there were long breaks between each act of creation.
Other old Earth creationists believe days mentioned in Genesis are symbolic and really mean much longer time.
Other old Earth creationists believe God created life gradually over thousands of millions of years.
Other old Earth creationists believe God created life through theistic evolution.
Old Earth creationism typically agrees better with what scientists believe about  physics, chemistry, geology and the age of the Earth, than Young Earth creationism.

The title of Tsarevich of Russia was traditionally used by the heir apparent or heir presumptive in the Russian Empire.
The title was used with the style Imperial Highness.
The title was usually only used by males due to females being prevented from succeeding the throne after Catherine the Great.
It is often confused with "tsarevich", which is the title for any son of a tsar.
Normally, there was only one tsesarevich at a time (an exception was Grand Duke Constantine Pavlovich, who was accorded the title until death, even though law gave it to his nephew), and the title was used exclusively in Russia.
The title came to be used together with the formal style "successor" (Naslednik), as in "His Imperial Highness the Successor Tsesarevich and Grand Duke".
The wife of the Tsesarevich was the Tsesarevna.
His Imperial Highness Tsarevich Alexei Nikolaevich of Russia, Grand Duke of Russia.
He used the title all his life.
He never succeeded his father and was murdered in 1917.
His Imperial Highness Tsarevich Nicholas.
