A tailstrike is when the tail of an airplane hits the runway.
This can happen during takeoff or landing.
During takeoff, a tailstrike can happen if the pilot raises the nose too early and the plane cannot take off in time.
During a landing, a tailstrike can happen if the pilot raises the nose too high during landing.
Tailstrikes usually do not have serious effects, such as killing people.
However, this means that the airline has to spend money to repair the plane before it can fly again.
If the plane is not repaired correctly, it may cause metal fatigue and in the end, the plane can crash.
Examples of tailstrikes

Pan Am Flight 845

The L'Isle-Verte nursing home fire happened on January 23, 2014 at the Résidence du Havre nursing home in the town of L'Isle-Verte, Quebec, Canada at approximately 12:35 a.m.
An overnight worker talked to police and told Québecor Média that he was "95% sure" the fire was caused by a cigarette that was lit by a resident who refused to be let outside to smoke less than an hour earlier.
He also said that the black smoke that was billowing from above the cracked open door of room 206 on the man's second-floor room.
When the worker tried to help, he had "began to suffocate" and needed to leave.
On his way out, he was able to rescue a man who had broken his leg by jumping from his balcony.
In the fire, an estimated 32 people were killed and 15 people were injured.
Fire safety experts as well as groups such as the Canadian Association of Retired Persons, Ontario Retirement Communities Association, l'Association Québécoise de Défense des Personnes Retraitées et Préretraitées and the Canadian Association of Fire Chiefs have called for more strict fire safety measures including required sprinkler installation.
As of 2014, 54% of Québec's private homes for the elderly have no sprinklers.
The Québec health minister Réjean Hébert suggested that the requirements be more strengthened to put sprinklers into homes for semi-autonomous elderly.

The 1994 Vancouver Stanley Cup Riot was a riot that took place on June 14, 1994 in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
It was the first riot in Vancouver since the tour opener for The Rolling Stones which lead to a clash between police officers and 2,000 Stones fans outside the Pacific Coliseum in 1972.
The riot took place after the New York Rangers defeated the Vancouver Canucks in Game 7 of the 1994 Stanley Cup Finals.
The riot started on Robson and Thurlow Street after a man fell off of a streetlight into the crowd.
When police, who were on bikes, were trying to escort paramedics into the crowd, some members of the crowd tried to take the bikes from the police.
Police warned the crowd to clear out and retreated.
After a while, riot police gathered in the crowd and fired tear gas.
This caused the crowd to scatter in different directions.
Lots of stores had their windows broken, including 50 windows smashed at a Eaton's store.
The tear gas that was fired drifted into the open windows of residents living on the West End.
St. Paul's Hospital responded by putting guards at the emergency room entrance to prevent tear gas victims from entering there.
They claimed that there was nothing that could be done for them.
After a while, bowls filled with water were put outside by security guards for the people that were suffering from tear gas.
The total damage to the downtown core was estimated at $1.1 million CAD.

Operation Yellow Ribbon was started by Canada to help with the diversion of civilian airline flights because of the September 11 attacks in 2001.
It was to make sure that possible destructive air traffic was removed from the United States airspace as quickly as possible, and away from potential U.S. targets.
Instead they placed the aircraft on the ground in Canada, mainly at military and civilian airports in the Canadian provinces of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland and Labrador, and British Columbia (as well as some in New Brunswick, Alberta, Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec).
Canada began the operation after the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) (carried out by Security Control of Air Traffic and Air Navigation Aids (SCATANA)) had grounded all the aircraft across the United States.
The FAA was then able to work with Transport Canada to reroute the incoming international flights to airports in Canada.
The actual number of diverted aircraft and passengers varies from different sources.
Transport Canada stated that over 33,000 passengers on 224 flights arrived in Canada, while NAV CANADA stated that there were 239 flights.
Prime Minister Jean Chrétien said that the number of flights was anywhere between 225 and 250 and that the number of passengers were between 30,000 and 45,000.

Cuvier's beaked whale (Ziphius cavirostris), is the only member of the genus Ziphius.
It is the most widely distributed of all the beaked whales.
"Cuvier’s beaked whales are likely to be the most extreme divers among marine mammals, able to go nearly 3km down and hold their breath for more than two hours".
History of discovery
The French anatomist Georges Cuvier, in his Sur les Ossemens fossiles (1823), first described the species based on an imperfect skull from the Mediterranean coast of France.
A peasant had found it on the shore in 1803.
Cuvier named it Ziphius cavirostris.
The specific name comes from the Latin cavus for "hollow" or "concave".
This refers to the deep hollow in the skull, a diagnostic trait of the species.
Cuvier believed it was an extinct species.
In 1850 zoologists realized the species was still living, when Paul Gervais compared the type specimen to a whale stranded at Aresquiès, Hérault.
He found the two to be identical.
Cuvier's beaked whale feeds on several species of squid.
They also prey on deep-sea fish.
On March 27 2014 a Cuvier's beaked whale tracked by a satellite-linked tag set a new deep diving record for a sea mammal, plunging nearly two miles below the ocean surface.
Although it is in the Odontoceti, it has little use for teeth.
As adults, two incisors at the front of the lower jaw stick forward.
Basically, it sucks in prey by expanding its throat.

The maize weevil (Sitophilus zeamais) is a species of beetle in the family Curculionidae.
In the United States, it is called the greater rice weevil.
It lives in many tropical areas around the world, and in the United States.
It is a major pest of maize.
This species attacks both crops that are still growing and those that have been harvested.
It attacks wheat, rice, sorghum, oats, barley, rye, buckwheat, peas, and cottonseed.
The maize weevil also attacks processed cereal products such as pasta, cAgassava, and various coarse, milled grains.
It has even been known to attack fruit while in storage, such as apples.
was a Japanese geneticist and evolutionary biologist.
He went to the United States in 1951 as a visiting scholar to UCLA.
He later became a citizen of the USA.
Susumu Ohno was born of Japanese parents in Seoul, Korea, on February 1, 1928.
The family returned to Japan after the war in 1945.
His passion for science came from his lifelong love of horses.
He earned a Ph.D. in veterinary science at Tokyo University of Agriculture and Technology in 1949, and later a Ph.D. and D.Sc.
from Hokkaido University.
Ohno suggested that gene duplication plays a major role in evolution in his classic book Evolution by Gene Duplication (1970).
Subsequent research has overwhelmingly confirmed the key role of gene duplication in molecular evolution.
one gene copy, or "paralog", takes on a totally new function after a gene duplication event.
This means one of the gene copies mutates to develop a function that was not present in the ancestral gene.
In this way, a gene duplication may lead to new possibilities in its descendents.
In his book, he also suggested that vertebrate genome is the result of one or more entire genome duplications.
Variations of this idea have come to be known as the 2R hypothesis (also called "Ohno's hypothesis").
He indicated that mammalian X chromosomes are conserved among species: it has been referred to as Ohno's law.
He also invented the term Junk DNA for segments of the DNA that have no known function.

Blue shift is one example of the Doppler effect.
It is the opposite effect to redshift.
The term applies to any decrease in wavelength caused by relative motion, even outside the visible spectrum.
The Andromeda Galaxy is moving toward our own Milky Way galaxy within the Local Group.
When observed from earth, its light shows a blueshift.
Components of a binary star system will be blueshifted when moving towards Earth
When observing spiral galaxies, the side spinning toward us will have a slight blueshift relative to the side spinning away from us.
Blazars may emit relativistic (near the speed of light) jets toward us that appear blueshifted.
Nearby stars such as Barnard's Star are moving toward us, resulting in a very small blueshift.
Doppler blueshift of distant objects (high z) can be got from the much larger cosmological redshift.
This shows relative motion in the expanding universe.
The reason astronomers can tell how far the light gets shifted is because certain chemical elements, like the calcium in bones or the oxygen people breathe has a unique fingerprint of light that no other chemical element has.
They can see what colors of light are coming from a star, and see what it is made of.
Once they know that, they look at the difference between where the fingerprint (called spectral lines) is and where it is supposed to be.
When they see that, they can tell how far away the star is, whether it is moving toward us or away from us, and also how fast it is going, since the faster it goes, the farther the distance the spectral lines are from where they should be.

Origin and isolation
Mycoplasma genitalium was originally isolated in 1980 from the urethras of two male humans with non-gonococcal urethritis.
Infection by M. genitalium is fairly common, and is transmitted between partners during unprotected sexual intercourse.
Much remains to be discovered about its role in sexual disease.
M. genitalium has 525 genes.
There are 482 protein-encoding genes in a circular chromosome of 582,970 base pairs.
An initial study of the M. genitalium genome with shotgun sequencing was done by Peterson in 1993.
It was then sequenced by Fraser and others.
It was found to contain only 470 predicted coding regions, including genes required for DNA replication, transcription and translation, DNA repair, cellular transport, and energy metabolism.
It was the second complete bacterial genome ever sequenced, after Haemophilus influenzae.

The Basin and Range Province is a vast geographic region in the west United States and northwest Mexico.
Its topography has abrupt changes in height.
It has narrow faulted mountain chains and flat arid valleys or basins.
There are many ecoregions, but the lower part is mostly desert.
The physical geography (physiography) of the province was caused by extension and thinning of the lithosphere, which is composed of crust and upper mantle.
What caused this thinning is still being investigated.
The thinning began around 17 million years ago (mya) in early Miocene time.
The highest point fully within the Province is White Mountain Peak in California, while the lowest point is Badwater Basin in Death Valley.
Other high points are at the boundary of the Basin and Range province.
The numerous ranges within the Province in the United States are collectively referred to as the Great Basin Ranges, although many are not actually in the Great Basin.
The Basin and Range province should not be confused with the Great Basin, which is a sub-section of the greater Basin and Range region.
The Great Basin is defined by its watershed (internal drainage).
Clarence Dutton compared the many narrow mountain ranges of the Basin and Range to an "army of caterpillars crawling northward", which is a helpful way to visualize the overall appearance of the region.
Volcanics
Before the Eocene epoch (55.8 ±0.2 to 33.9 ±0.1 mya) the Farallon and North American plates were converging.
During the Eocene the many volcanos in the Basin and Range Province flared up.
The Farallon plate continued to be underthrust until about 19 mya.
By then it was consumed and volcanic activity ceased.
Landforms of North America
Equation solving is field of mathematics that is about finding the functions or values that will make an equation true.
An equation says that two expressions are equal.
These expressions contain one or more unknowns, which are usually called free variables.
There are a number of changes (transformations) that can be done to make it easier to find the solution.
There are many kinds of equation, and some have no solution in the domain (field) where they are studied.
Other kinds of equation cannot be solved exactly, and approximation needs to be used.
Similarly, a system of equations may have no solutions, or an infinite number of solutions.
Methods of solution
Brute force, trial and error, estimated guess: It is often possible to find a solution for equations where there are only a limited (usually small) number of possibilities.
This is the case for some Diophantine equations.
Elementary algebra can be used for some simple equations
There are algorithms for solving Systems of linear equations.
Very often, linear algebra can be used.
There are formulas for solving polynomial equations up to degree four.
Except for special cases, polynomial equations of a degree higher than four need to be approximated, or solved numerically.
Taylor series and curve fitting can be used to approximate polynomials or other functions.

The Roman emperor Nero committed suicide near the villa of his freedman Phaon in June of 68 AD.
Between the autumn of 69 AD and the reign of the emperor Domitian, some people appeared and claimed they were Nero.
These impostors were known as Pseudo-Nero.
Most scholars believe there were either two or three Nero impostors.
St. Augustine wrote of the popularity of the belief that Nero would return in his day, which is known as the Nero Redivivus legend.
Suetonius writes that  imperial edicts were forged in the name of dead Nero.
These edicts encouraged his followers and promised that he would soon return to avenge himself on his enemies.
One of the things that led to the belief that Nero survived was the fact that he died in a location that was not well known.
Suetonius wrote that Galba's freedman Icelus saw the dead emperor's body and reported back to his master.
Nero was also denied the lavish burial that was accorded to popular emperors and members of the imperial family.
This may have left those plebeians who loved him dissatisfied and suspicious.
Furthermore, he was not buried in the Mausoleum of Augustus with the other Julio-Claudian emperors, but in a tomb on the Pincian Hill at the family burial place of the Domitii Ahenobarbi.
Many Roman plebeians  though Nero was very popular after his death, and  so they laid flowers at his tomb.
After Nero's death, there were prophecies that predicted he would regain his kingdom in the East.
These prophecies possibly inspired people to impersonate him.
One version placed his reappearance at Jerusalem.
The prophecies have been tied to Nero's natal chart, which has been interpreted as pointing to a loss of his patrimony and its recovery in the East.
Tacitus may have been referring to such prophecies in veiled language when he wrote of the rumors that circulated about Nero after his death, which had contributed to the belief that he had survived.
The return of Nero may have inspired the author of the Book of Revelation when he wrote about the eschatological opponent called the Beast, which is mortally wounded and then miraculously heals.
The number of the Beast, 666 or 616, depending on the manuscript, has been identified by some as the numerical value of the letters in Nero's name.
Nero also appears more explicitly in this role in the Ascension of Isaiah and some of the books of the Sibylline Oracles.
Because of these prophecies and others, Nero was long thought to be the Antichrist.
Due to the short-lived success of the Nero impostors and Nero's incorporation into eschatological literature, the belief in Nero's imminent return lasted for centuries.
Lion Feuchtwanger wrote a historical novel based on the second known Pseudo-Nero, Terentius Maximus, entitled Der falsche Nero.
This novel was published in 1936.
First Impostor
The first Pseudo-Nero appeared in the autumn of 68 AD or the early winter of 69 AD in the Roman province of Achaia, today modern Greece.
