A land bridge is a term in biogeography.
It is a narrow land connection between otherwise separate areas, sometimes called an isthmus.
Its significance is that animals and plants may cross over it when the sea level is lower.
They cannot easily cross when the sea level is higher, and water covers the land bridge.
The separation of a once connected population often leads to speciation, the splitting of one species into two and the two species change over time to be different but have distant similarities.
Several kinds of change can cause a land bridge to rise above or sink below the water.
Plate tectonics may cause the rise or lowering of land.
The causes of general sea level changes are not fully understood, but often big polar ice caps lower sea level by locking up much of the water.
When sea levels fall, shallow sections of continental shelf may get exposed.
Sometimes the sea floor rises due to "post-glacial rebound" after an ice age.
The Bering land bridge, which connected Asia with North America when the sea level dropped in the ice age, but went under water when the ice melted.
Doggerland, a former landmass in the southern North Sea which connected the island of Great Britain to mainland Europe during the last ice age
The Isthmus of Panama whose appearance three million years ago allowed the Great American Interchange
Adam's Bridge (known as Rama Setu), connecting India and Sri Lanka.

"Invitation to the Dance" is a piece of music for solo piano written by Carl Maria von Weber in 1819.
It is written in D-flat major in rondo form.
It was the first concert waltz.
This means it was meant to be listened to rather than danced to.

In 1911, the Berlioz version was used for a short ballet called Le Spectre de la rose.
This ballet starred Nijinsky and Karsavina.
It became very well known.

79, J. 282 is a piece of music for piano and orchestra.
It was written by Carl Maria von Weber, and first performed on June 25, 1821 in Berlin, Germany.

A molecular chaperone is a protein which does things to other proteins.
They are mostly concerned with protein folding.
Some help assemble or take apart other macromolecular structures.
They do not occur in these structures when the structures go about their normal functions.
What they do is:
Fold over half of all mammalian proteins.
Unfold proteins.
Assemble proteins.
Disassemble proteins.
The first protein to be called a chaperone assists the assembly of nucleosomes from folded histones and DNA.
Those assembly chaperones, especially in the nucleus, assemble folded subunits into larger structures such as cell organelles.
One major function of chaperones is to prevent polypeptide chains and subunits sticking together in clumps which do not function.
Some chaperones are "holdases" which act to stop aggregation.
Others, called "foldases", do help fold proteins which cannot do it themselves.
Such proteins violate Anfinsen's dogma, which said protein folding was automatic.
Ribonuclease (commonly abbreviated RNase) is a type of enzyme that chops RNA into smaller parts.
There are many different versions of the enzyme.
All organisms studied contain many RNases of many different sorts.
This shows that RNA degradation is a very ancient and important process.
It cleans up cell RNA which is no longer needed.
It is a first-line defence against RNA viruses.
It acts in RNA interference (RNAi), or post transcriptional gene silencing (PTGS).
This is a biological process in which RNA molecules inhibit gene expression.
In 2006, Andrew Fire and Craig Mello shared the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for their work on RNA interference.

A thematic map is a kind of map.
Different from normal maps, a thematic map is designed to show the distribution of human or natural features or data.
The information may or may not be related to geography.
For example, a map which shows population is a thematic map.
An early contributor to thematic mapping in England was the English astronomer Edmond Halley (1656–1742).
His first important map was a star chart of the constellations of the Southern Hemisphere, published in 1686.
In the same year he also published something new, a map of the globe (Earth) in an article about trade winds.
This map is sometimes called the first weather map.
Another example of early thematic mapping comes from London physician John Snow.
Snow’s cholera map of 1854 is the best known example of using thematic maps for analysis of data.
His method anticipates the principles of a geographic information system (GIS).
He started with an accurate map of a London neighborhood which included streets and water pump locations.
Onto this Snow placed a dot for each cholera death.
The pattern centered around one particular pump on Broad Street.
At Snow’s request, the handle of the pump was removed, and new cholera cases ceased almost at once.
Further investigation of the area revealed the Broad Street pump was near a cesspit under the home of the outbreak's first cholera victim.

Ruggero Leoncavallo (April 23, 1857 – August 9, 1919) was an Italian opera composer and librettist.
He is best known for his 1892 opera, I pagliacci.
In 1906, he toured the United States with success.
He was born in Naples, and died in Montecatini Terme, Tuscany.
I pagliacci or Pagliacci () is a short two-act opera with libretto and music by Ruggero Leoncavallo.
It was first performed in the Teatro Dal Verme in Milan, Italy on May 21, 1892.
The role of Canio became Enrico Caruso's signature role.
Pagliacci is the only opera by Leoncavallo still performed.
It is usually paired with Pietro Mascagni's Cavalleria rusticana.
Beorhtric (also Brihtric; meaning 'Magnificent ruler') († 802) was the King of Wessex from 786 to 802.
He ruled Wessex as a figurehead king.
His wife and father-in-law exercised most of the power.
The names of his parents and his ancestry are unknown.
In 786, Cynewulf, king of Wessex, was killed by Cyneheard, brother of the former King Sigeberht.
Either with help of Offa of Mercia or quickly coming under his influence, Beorhtric became King of Wessex.
In 787, he held the Synod of Chelsea jointly with Offa.
In 789 he married Eadburh, Offa's daughter.
That same year Vikings appeared off the coast of Devon.
Believing they were traders the local reeve went to meet them and was killed.
This was the first encounter with Vikings in southern England.
After Offa's death in 796, Mercian power over England was weakened.
There was a period of three years when some West Saxons tried to break free of Mercian control.
But Beorhtric and Cenfulf, the new king, signed a peace treaty.
From that time on Wessex remained subordinate to Mercia.
Three West Saxon coins have survived from Beorhtric's reign.
In style they are very similar to coins struck by Offa.
They were probably minted at Southampton after Offa's death.
His queen
Queen Eadburh, as Offa's daughter, seems to have held all the power in Wessex.
She had a reputation for great cruelty.
In later years Asser, a scholar at Alfred the Great's court, recorded the story that Beorhtric had died from being accidentally poisoned by his wife, Eadburh.
She fled to a nunnery in Francia, from which she was later ejected after being found with a man.
It was a good story but probably more myth than real.
But she was the reason Wessex would not have another queen for several generations.
The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle records that Beorhtric was buried at Wareham in 802.
He left no heirs.
800s deaths
American Airlines Flight 191 was a scheduled commercial flight from O'Hare International Airport in Chicago to Los Angeles International Airport.
The aircraft used was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10.
On May 25, 1979, the aircraft crashed into an open field in Des Plaines, Illinois.
All 271 people (258 passengers and 13 crew) on the flight were killed.
Two people on the ground were killed and five others were hurt.
The crash was caused by the loss of one of the engines, which caused damage to the left wing.
The loss of the engine happened because of bad maintenance to the aircraft that had been done eight weeks before the crash.
It is the worst plane crash to happen in the United States.
The airplane that crashed was a McDonnell Douglas DC-10-10, tail number N110AA.
It was delivered new to American Airlines after its first flight in 1972, and at time of accident it has flown for 19871 hours.
It was powered by 3 General Electric CF6-6D engines.
The plane, which just arrived from Phoenix, was assigned to fly flight 191 from Chicago to Los Angeles.
At 2.59pm (local time GMT-6) the plane began its taxi to runway 32 right (32R) and at 3.02pm was cleared to takeoff from the runway.
However, as the pilots began to raise the nose of the plane, the number one engine, located on the left wing, broke off from the plane.
With the remaining length of the runway, stopping the plane would be impossible, so the pilots continued with the takeoff, knowing that two engines are enough to fly a DC-10.
Shortly after the engine broke off, the plane climbed to 300 ft.
It then began to roll to the left and turn.
The pilots could not control the plane as the plane turned further left and began to fall.
The plane crashed into a trailer park 4680 feet northwest from the end of runway 32R, with the left wing hitting the ground first.
All 258 passengers, 13 crew and 2 others on the ground were killed.
This became the worst ever plane crash in the United States, not counting the September 11 attacks which were crashed by hijackers and had more ground fatalities than those passengers killed in the planes.
