Racial profiling is a term which originated in the United States.
The usual context is police stopping and searching citizens on the suspicion that they may have committed a crime.
It is controversial because it is usually black citizens who are stopped and searched.
In other countries  (for example the Middle East) religious and cultural differences may be the basis of police profiling.
Int the USA profiling has been tested in the courts a number of times.
Terry v. Ohio was the first challenge to racial profiling in the United States in 1968.
This case was about African American people who were thought to be stealing.
The police officer arrested the three men, searched them and found a gun on two of the three men.
One of the men searched was convicted and sentenced to jail.
The sentence was challenged on the grounds that the arrest violated the search and seizure clause of the Fourth Amendment.
In an 8-1 ruling, the Supreme Court decided that the police officer acted in a reasonable manner, and with reasonable suspicion, under the Fourth Amendment.
The decision in this case allowed the police to have discretion in identifying suspicious or illegal activities.

Bagualosaurus (meaning "bagel lizard") is a sauropodomorph dinosaur and is the seventh known sauropodomorph discovered in Brazil.
The type species is Bagualosaurus agudoensis and was described in 2018.
Bagualosaurus lived about 223.23-230 million years ago.
The holotype specimen, consisting of a partial skull and jaw, twelve back vertebrae, two tail vertebrae, two chevrons, a pelvis, two partial hindlimbs annd five fragmentary ribs, was discovered on a ravine at the edge of a pond in rural Agudo in 2007.
The fossil was kept in a closet of the Laboratory of Paleovertebrates of the Federal University of Rio Grande do Sul South, under the tutelage of Professor Cesar Schultz.
This is what is commonly called "drawer paleontology".
The fossil was described as a sauropodomorph on May 25, 2018.
Bagualosaurus probably had a fully herbivourus diet.
The fact that the Bagualosaurus already has a dentition well adapted to the consumption of vegetation is especially important for the evolutionary history of the dinosaurs.
Pretto explains that all sauropods have two characteristics in common: gigantism and herbivorism.
Bagualosaurus and other early sauropodomorphs may have adopted the leaf diet, which may have been the source of sauropod gigantism.
Bagualosaurus lived in the Santa Maria Formaiton alongside an unnamed prosauropod and genera such as the carnivourus sauropodomorph Buriolestes, the proterochampsid Cerritosaurus and the possible theropod Staurikosaurus.
Darwinsaurus (meaning "Darwin's lizard") is an ornithopod dinosaur once wrongly described as Iguanodon.
In the early nineteenth century dinosaur remains were discovered near Hastings in East Sussex.
These were first reported by Richard Owen in 1842.
In 1889 they were referred to Iguanodon fittoni by Richard Lydekker.
They were then assigned to Hypselospinus fittoni by David B. Norman in 2010.
In 2012 Gregory S. Paul named them as a separate genus and species.
The type species is Darwinsaurus evolutionis.
The generic name honours Charles Darwin for his theory of evolution.
The first fossil described as Darwinsaurus is known from a partial skeleton.
Hypselospinus is a genus of iguanodontian dinosaur which was first described as a species of Iguanodon (I. fittoni) by Richard Lydekker in 1889, the specific name honouring William Henry Fitton.
Hypselospinus grew to be around 6 meters (19.7 ft) long.
Iguanodon fittoni (Lydekker, 1889) = Hypselospinus fittoni
Wadhurstia (Carpenter & Ishida, 2010) = Hypselospinus fittoni

The serpent is an ancient, low-sounding wind instrument in an 'S' shape.
It looks a bit like a snake or serpent.
It is made of wood, but had a mouthpiece similar to a trumpet and is classified as a brass instrument.
The serpent has a range from C below the bass clef to around F above middle C. It was perhaps invented by Frenchman, Edme Guillaume, in the late 1500s.
It made a comeback in the late 1800s and can be heard in Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique.
The nearest musical instrument to the serpent is the ophicleide, which replaced it in the 19th century.
Its place was taken later on by valved bass brass instruments such as the euphonium and tuba.

Arrow's impossibility theorem, Arrow's theorem, or Arrow's paradox is a statement from social choice theory, named after economist Kenneth Arrow, who first described it in 1950: Suppose there is a vote, and voters have at least three different options to choose from.
Each voter will then rank the options according to his or her preference.
Arrow said, that in such a case, there is no way to convert these rankings into a  community-wide complete and transitive ranking while also meeting certain criteria.
Arrow demonstrated the theorem in his doctoral thesis.
He  popularized it in his 1951 book Social Choice and Individual Values.
If every voter prefers alternative X over alternative Y, then the group prefers X over Y.
If every voter's preference between X and Y remains unchanged, then the group's preference between X and Y will also remain unchanged (even if voters' preferences between other pairs like X and Z, Y and Z, or Z and W change).
There is no "dictator": no single voter possesses the power to always determine the group's preference.

It was shown on the channels Nickelodeon and Noggin.
While it was being made, the show was popular with preschoolers and fans of puppetry.
It won awards from groups like Parents' Choice and the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
In the mid-2000s, there was a cult following of small filmmakers who used Oobi-style puppets in short movies.
In 2012, a spin-off of Oobi called Dasdasi was made in Iran.
The entire original show is currently included on Amazon Prime Video.
Structure and plot
Most episodes are split into two or three parts.
Every episode has a main story and some interviews.
In the interviews, the puppets ask real kids and families about a topic or place.
Episodes in season one also have a "game segment" where the puppets play a simple learning game.
In season two, there were no game segments anymore and the main stories were made longer instead.
The show takes place in an old-fashioned town where almost everyone is a talking hand puppet.
The puppets have eyes that they wear on the middle finger.
The kids have four of their fingers straight, and they use their thumbs as their bottom lips.
The adults have their fingers curled up, which makes them look taller.
The only regular character who is not a hand is Frieda, a foot puppet.

Dasdasi
Dasdasi was a spin-off/adaptation of Oobi made in the country of Iran for a TV channel called IRIB TV2.
In Dasdasi, there is a bigger family of hand puppets: a son, a daughter, two parents, and a grandfather.
The kids are counterparts to Oobi and Uma, and the grandpa is Grampu's counterpart.
Kako does not have a counterpart, but the kids have neighbors and a baby cousin who usually fills the role of a close friend instead.
Dasdasi was first shown on September 22, 2012, and the last episode was shown on December 20, 2012.
There were 78 episodes.
Oobi got high TV ratings for Noggin.
From 2003 to 2004, Oobi and two other shows—Miffy and Connie the Cow—made Noggin's daily viewers increase by 55% over the last year.
The average number of preschool-age children watching Oobi grew by 43% during the same time.
The show's ratings were reported in the newspaper Multichannel News by the author Mike Reynolds, who said Noggin's popularity could be traced to its "breakout original series Oobi."
The first showing of the "Uma Preschool!"
episode on September 6, 2004, got higher ratings than any other Noggin show ever did.
When Oobi was still being played on TV, it had a cult following of Muppets fans and small filmmakers who made their own Oobi puppets.
In 2003, the Boston Herald newspaper said that Oobi was "already very popular" with "those of the Muppet generation."
A worker for Noggin, Tom Ascheim, said in the same article that Oobi "gets fan mail," and he thought it was an interesting idea for a show because "everybody has an Oobi in their hand."
In 2004, the magazine The Melbourne Age said that "the show - the work of various Sesame Street alumni - is developing a strong cult following; the real Uma [Thurman] is said to be a fan of hand Uma."
An internet catalog of Oobi puppets and eyes, OobiEyes.com, was online from 2006 to 2013.
A small group of YouTube.com users who made fan films with Oobi puppets existed during the early years of the website, and OobiEyes.com held an advertising campaign with YouTube in 2008.
Nate Ruess's rock band, The Format, made a music video with Oobi puppets for their song "Dog Problems" in November 2006.
The video was shown on the cable channels MTV2 and MTVU.
A talk show called The Soup showed clips from Oobi many times.
Oobi was a regular part of the part called "What Your Kids Are Watching".
In this part, the host Joel McHale made comments about funny scenes from children's shows and movies.
John Green, a writer, played Oobi in a video blog (vlog) that he posted to his YouTube channel in May 2007.
The vlog was called "Vlogbrothers: How to Write a Book Proposal".
A runner-up of the 2009 Cannes Young Lions Competition, a TV advertising contest for kids, was a video based on Oobi called "Let Your Hands Do the Talking."
The video showed spoofs of celebrities played by hand puppets with "Oo"-themed names, just like Oobi and Uma.
In January 2014, Oobi appeared in a parody commercial called "Farewell Elizabeth" from Durex, a condom company.
The commercial followed the story of a young man and an Oobi puppet.
A television pilot inspired by Oobi called "Right Hand Guy" was made for the channel Disney XD in summer 2016.
It was about a boy whose hand came to life and became his friend.
The director who made the pilot, Dan Lagana, showed the Oobi episode "Babysitter!"
to the actors so that they would be familiar with it.

It occurred on September 3, 1991 at the Imperial Foods Chicken Processing Plant in Hamlet, North Carolina, United States.
In the center of the plant, a hydraulic line failed and ignited the cooking oil in a  long frying vat.
An automatic fire extinguisher, which was state of the art at the time, had been installed over the cooking vat, but it failed to put the fire out.
The fire spread quickly and many workers were unable to escape due to locked fire exits.
25 workers died and 54 were injured in the fire.
The plant never reopened and was demolished in 2001.
The fire was the worst industrial accident in North Carolina's history and led to new safety requirements for industrial facilities in the United States.
