In optics, a virtual image is an image formed when the outgoing rays from an object always diverge (move apart).
A plane mirror forms a virtual image positioned behind the mirror.
Light from the source only exists in front of the mirror.
The image in a plane mirror appears to be as far behind the mirror as the object is in front of the mirror.
In contrast, a real image is one that is formed when the outgoing rays form a point converge at a real location.
Real images can be projected onto a diffuse reflecting screen, but a screen is not necessary for the image to form.
The Adult Use of Marijuana Act (also known as AUMA or Proposition 64) was a 2016 voter initiative that legalized Cannabis in California.
The full name of the measure was the "Control, Regulate and Tax Adult Use of Marijuana Act".
A similar initiative was on the ballot in 2010, Proposition 19.
The initiative passed with 56% voter approval and became law on November 9, 2016.
The initiative made recreational cannabis legal for anyone over the age of 21.
It also allowed people to grow marijuana plants and sell them.
The state would then be able to tax the sale of purchase of the substance.
AUMA allows adults to carry up to an ounce of marijuana.
They can also grow up to six marijuana plants in their home.
Marijuana packaging would be required to provide the net weight, origin, age, and type of the product, as well as how much of tetrahydrocannabinol, cannabidiol, and other cannabinoids are in the product.
It must also provide any information about if any pesticides were used during the production.
Smoking marijuana in public is still illegal, and anyone caught doing so will have to pay a $100 fine.
Driving under the influence of marijuana is also still illegal.
The penalty for unlicensed sale of marijuana is now reduced from four years in state prison to six months in county jail.

Marxism–Leninism was practiced by the Soviet Union (USSR) after the Bolshevik Revolution.
It was also practiced by the Stalinists in the USSR.
The purpose of Marxism–Leninism is to turn a capitalist state into a socialist state.
This is done by a revolution by the proletariat to overthrow the old government.
The new government then creates a "dictatorship of the proletariat".
This new government leads the country based on democratic centralism.
The communist party is supposed to lead society from capitalism to socialism.
According to ML, socialism was more "advanced" than capitalism, but communism was more "advanced" than socialism.
Indeed, the ultimate goal is to achieve a communist society, one with no class or state.
ML just provides a first step: from capitalism to socialism.

Dairy farming is a type of agriculture that is focused on producing milk.
This is different from raising animals to produce meat.
Milk can be used to produce dairy products, including cheese.
Species commonly used are cows (so-called dairy cows), but goats, sheep and camels are also used.
Sometimes donkeys are used to produce an alternative to cows' milk for babies.
Some babies can digest donkeys' milk better than cows' milk.
Producing milk has been part of farming since prehistoric times.
In the 20th century, farmers have become more specialized.
Some farmers started with farms that only produce milk.

Even the second version was based on Knoppix, a distribution based on Debian GNU/Linux.
The current version of MaX (MaX 9.5, is based on Ubuntu 16.04.4 LTS) is specially designed for using it in the educational environment as a system for teacher or student.
However, it can also be used by the users of personal computers.
In addition, it comes ready to be installed and used, and is equipped with multimedia and variety of programs on three desktops: GNOME, KDE and Xfce.
In any case, it can be fully used in "live" mode, that is to say, directly from the DVD without having it installed on the hard disk.
Its explicit objectives are:
Promote the use of open technological sources in educational environment.
Provide schools, and generally members of the educational community, with software that contributes to their integration into the knowledge-based society.
Provide high-quality applications with educational interest and no additional costs for students and teachers.
Have an open source environment where training and investigation processes are used.
Installation and users
The installation disc is a DVD that can be used en vivo (live) before installing MaX on the hard disk, that is to say, from the DVD drive.
Besides, even if the opposite is claimed, these programs can be installed if the computer has the access to the Internet, so that you can test the applications that do not come installed on the live system.
There is yet another way to use live MaX version installed accessibility.
In the guide mentioned before installation you can find a lot of useful information about the facilities.
On the other hand, the installation for desktop MaX is even easier than Ubuntu, because a username is needed.
All versions of MaX always have two users incorporated: student and Madrid.
The first is intended, of course, for students, and has fewer privileges on the system that the user Madrid has, but this is not the root user or system administrator.
In short, when entering the Madrid system,the user has to type his or her username and cmadrid (the letter ce + madrid) and password.
This has always been so in MaX, but you can change passwords once inside the system, and can also create new users, for those who have to choose the privileges they have.
What I have done from the beginning was to stay as the user madrid, and whenever you need to get access as an administrator, click cmadrid password, which is also the root.
The desktop
MaX desktop is highlighted with a bright blue background and a rounded image resembling the terrestrial sphere.
This is the GNOME desktop, which MaX used as principal, but you can login with the other two desktops: KDE and XFace.
This requires logout (not restart) and re-enter after choosing another desk in the Session menu, which is done in seconds.
But the three desks maintain the same background and the panel bar at the bottom of the screen.
In addition, programs are the same in all three desks, with some changes that depend on the chosen desktop.
Actually, it could be using a desk with other programs.

Nouvelle cuisine (French, "new cuisine") is an approach to cooking and food presentation in French cuisine.
In contrast to the older haute cuisine, nouvelle cuisine has lighter, more delicate dishes, and pretty presentation.
It started in Paris in the 1970s, and by the 1980s was seen in London and New York.
The movement is now almost worldwide.
The reasons are connected with modern business life, where long two-hour lunches are a thing of the past.
Also, customers began to look for lighter food menus.
Food critics Henri Gault and his colleagues André Gayot and Christian Millau put out a new restaurant guide, the Gault-Millau, or Le Nouveau Guide.
Gault and Millau listed ten characteristics of this new style of cooking.
Simpler cooking.
Cooking times for most fish, seafood, game birds, veal, green vegetables and pâtés were reduced to try to keep the natural flavour.
The cuisine was made with the freshest possible ingredients.
Large menus were abandoned in favour of shorter menus.
Strong marinades for meat and game were not used.
Heavy sauces like espagnole and béchamel were dropped.
Instead, dishes were seasoned with fresh herbs, high-quality butter, lemon juice, and vinegar.
Regional dishes were introduced in place of cuisine classique dishes.
New techniques and modern equipment were used; sometimes used microwave ovens.
Chefs paid close attention to the dietary needs of their guests.
The chefs were inventive, and created new combinations and pairings.
In the 1730s and 1740s, several French writers emphasized their break with tradition.
They called their cooking "modern" or "new".
In 1742 Menon introduced the term nouvelle cuisine as the title of the third volume of his Nouveau traité.
François Marin worked in the same tradition.
In the 1880s and 1890s, the cooking of Georges Auguste Escoffier was sometimes described as nouvelle cuisine.
Afonso Africano is an epic poem by Portuguese poet Vasco Mouzinho de Quevedo e Castelo Branco.
It was first published in 1611.
It is composed of twelve cantos.
It is written in ottava rima which in Portugal is known as oitava rima.
This stanza is made up of eight lines and rhymes abababcc.
The same was earlier used by Luís de Camões in his Lusiads.
Vasco Mouzinho de Quevedo's poem narrates about Portuguese king Afonso who was called The African.
In the poem his expedition to Morocco, the war and the sieges of Arzilla and Tanger are described.
The first stanza is typical for Renaissance epic poems.
As armas e o varão ilustre canto
que de Africano tem insígnia e nome,
cuja alta fama será viva, enquanto
no dourado horizonte o Sol assome.
Donde começarei?
Que o grande espanto
me tem suspenso, que princípio tome,
que tantas obras quantas me apresenta
vivo calor que mais e mais se aumenta.

Theory of mind is the ability to understand that other people have their own minds with their personal state of knowledge, their personal beliefs, wishes and intentions, and that these may differ from one's own mind.
Autistic people typically show an impaired ability to recognize other people's minds.
Therefore they experience difficulties with explaining and predicting other people’s behaviour.
This leads to problems in social communication and interaction.
Children on the autistic spectrum usually develop the theory of mind more slowly than other children.
They have difficulties with it throughout their lives.
However, autistic people's performance on theory of mind tasks varies.
For testing whether someone lacks the theory of mind, the Sally-Anne test is performed.
The child sees the following story: Sally and Anne are playing.
Sally puts her ball into a basket and leaves the room.
While Sally is gone, Anne moves the ball from the basket to the box.
Now Sally returns.
The question is: where will Sally look for her ball?
The test is passed, if the child correctly assumes that Sally will look in the basket.
The test is failed if the child thinks that Sally will look in the box.
Children below the age of four as well as older autistic children typically fail this test.

Secession in the United States refers mainly to state secession.
It applies to the outbreak of the American Civil War when on December 20, 1860, South Carolina officially declared their secession from the United States.
It was followed four months later by the states of Georgia, Florida, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas and Louisiana.
These initial seven seceding states formed the Confederate States of America based in Montgomery, Alabama.
Then, on April 12, 1861, hostilities began at Fort Sumter in Charleston, South Carolina.
After this, the states of Virginia (except the northwestern counties), Arkansas, Tennessee, and North Carolina joined the Confederacy.
The capital was then moved Richmond, Virginia.
The Northern and Border states remained with the Union.
In 1860, secession was not a new threat.
It had been discussed as early as 1776 when the Continental Congress wanted to tax all of the colonies based on a population count that included slaves.
South Carolina threatened to separate themselves from the other 12 colonies over the issue.
From then until the outbreak of the American Civil War, anytime a minority sectional dispute came up (often over slavery) the threat of secession would be used.
It was a matter of concern when the Constitutional Convention met in 1787 in Philadelphia.
Secession was closely tied to the thinking of members of the Whig party.
Their thinking was that rebellion (such as in 1776) was a right of a state against any form of despotic government.
When the South seceded in 1860-61, one argument was that in 1776, when the thirteen Colonies rebelled against Great Britain, it was a secession.
Others argued the two situations were very different.
The thirteen colonies revolted against Great Britain, they did not secede from it.
What resulted was the American Revolutionary War.
It can also be argued that the Southern states were revolting against the Union.
Each of the colonies was regarding itself as a sovereign state and was waging a war of independence in cooperation with twelve other sovereign nations.
Reasons for secession
Following the war, scholars disagreed on what caused the Civil War.
The disagreements still go on today.
Many said that slavery was the main cause of the war.
The Southern states wanted to continue it while the Northern states wanted to stop it.
Others say slavery was not the main issue.
They point to states' rights and taxation as leading causes.
Each state that seceded wrote an "Article of Secession" formally declaring they were leaving the Union.
Four states, Texas, Mississippi, Georgia and South Carolina, added a "Declarations of Causes."
These were written to explain the reasons for leaving in more detail.
Georgia gave the following reasons why they were dissolving their connections to the United States.
The Federal government has weakened Georgia's security, disturbed their peace and tranquility and refused to honor their Constitutional right to their property—African slaves.
The U.S. prevented Georgia from an "equal enjoyment of the common Territories of the Republic"."
The Missouri Compromise was overturned by the Compromise of 1850 further limiting slavery in the new territories.
The U.S. has been hostile towards the people of Georgia.
Georgia has remained attached to the Union out of habit and a sense of tradition.
They hoped time would change this hostility towards George held by the non-slave states, but it has not changed.
The "party of Lincoln" calling itself the Republican Party is corrupt and admittedly anti-slavery.
In their declaration of causes, Mississippi wrote that slavery was necessary for their commerce.
They added, only the black man can work in our hot climate.
The North gives us only two choice: either abolishing slavery and suffering complete ruin or seceding from the Union.
Included in their reasons were:
The United States denies our right of property in slaves.
It refuses protection of that right wherever the U.S. government has jurisdiction.
It has not enforced the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 in free states which they agreed to do.
It wants social and political equality for the negro and promotes Slave rebellions.
Using its schools, newspapers and the pulpit, the North is completely against us.
It wants to destroy slavery without offering anything to replace it.
It has broken every contract with us and seeks to destroy our society.
South Carolina gave its reasons for seceding in its Declaration of Immediate Causes which was adopted on 24 December 1860.
The reasons included:
The Federal government has repeatedly violated the United States Constitution by not respecting the states' rights reserved by the state of South Carolina.
South Carolina has overlooked this in the past out of respect for the wishes of the other slaveholding states.
But it cannot do this any longer.
The Charleston Mercury said, "The tea has been thrown overboard, the revolution of 1860 has been initiated,” when president Lincoln was elected.
Lincoln didn’t win in many of the southern states and in some of the states he wasn’t added onto the ballot this caused an uproar in most southern states.
In 1776 the thirteen colonies declared their right to self-government.
Where the interests of two people are different, each must be able to govern itself or it cannot be free.
The Southern states are now in the same position as the thirteen colonies were towards Great Britain.
The U.S. government has become a despotic government much the same as Great Britain had become.
The people of the Southern states find it necessary to throw off that power and assume their own freedom.
The Southern states are a minority in the United States Congress and are taxed unfairly.
The taxes are not designed to create revenue for the U.S. government.
They are for the benefit of Northern manufacturing and mining.
The majority of taxes collected in the South are spent in the North.
The foreign commerce of the United States is based on Southern agriculture.
But Southern cities are not allowed to conduct foreign trade.
In 1740 there were five shipyards in South Carolina to carry on trade with Europe.
Now trade is conducted only from Northern ports.
The United States government has become the same kind of government with limitless powers that was overthrown in the Revolutionary war.
They seek to have power over every institution in the country including slavery.
The United States Constitution was an experiment that has failed.
The Southern states have followed the Constitution while the Northern states have subverted it for their own benefit.
The constitutional guarantees no longer exist and the states no longer have equal rights.
The federal government has become the enemy of slaveholding states and they will no longer have the power of self-rule or self-protection.
They thought they had the privilege to have their slaves.
The first act of violence between the confederate states and the union states was at Fort Sumter in South Carolina.
Texas became a state on December 29, 1845 with the assurances of becoming an equal state in the Union and was accepted with her own constitution.
That constitution protected and maintained the institution known as slavery.
Texas gave up a being a sovereign country to join the United States to promote the welfare, security and liberty of her people.
Her declaration of causes included:
The federal government seeks to destroy slavery in both Texas and other slaveholding states.
This disloyalty by the Northern states has permitted outlaws in the state of Kansas to trample on federal laws and subvert slavery.
By the use of violence and mob law the Northern states intend to trample on the rights of Southern citizens.
The federal government has failed to protect the people and property of the state of Texas by allowing Indian savages on our border.
More recently, they have allowed Mexican bandits to raid into Texas.
The state has had to bear the costs of protecting its citizens with no reimbursement from the federal government.
Texas is no longer as safe as it was when it was the Republic of Texas.

The South African Border War refers to the conflict that took place from 1966 to 1990 primarily in South West Africa (now Namibia) between South Africa on one side and the South-West Africa People's Organisation (SWAPO) and its allies on the other.
The roots of the conflict can be traced back to World War I, when South Africa invaded and conquered the colony of German South West Africa on behalf of the British Empire and the other Allies of World War I. In the aftermath of the German defeat, the League of Nations awarded South Africa a mandate to administer the territory until its inhabitants were ready to govern themselves.
Following World War II, South Africa refused to surrender South West Africa to a proposed United Nations Trusteeship agreement and instead requested the right to annex it as a fifth province.
Steps were taken to integrate South-West Africa into South Africa, including giving the local white population the right to elect representatives to the Parliament of South Africa.
In 1962, SWAPO was formed to resist South African rule and petition for South West African independence.
With support from the Soviet Union, SWAPO began training guerrillas and from 1966 onwards frequently clashed with the South African police and army.
The war entered a new phase in 1975, when Angola gained independence and its new communist government began providing support to the guerrillas.
South African troops launched raids into Angola to destroy SWAPO bases, which led to battles with the Angolan army.
Cuba, which had sent troops to bolster the Angolan government, was directly involved in some of these battles.
In 1988, South Africa, Angola, and Cuba signed a Tripartite Accord committing them to peace.
Cuba agreed to withdraw from Angola if South Africa withdrew from South West Africa and granted that territory independence.
South-West Africa gained independence as Namibia in early 1990.

He was the chairman of the Illinois chapter of the BBP and the deputy chairman of the national BPP.
He is mainly known for the way he died in 1969, aged 21.
His apartment was raided on December 4th.
In a gun battle lasting 20 minutes, Hampton was shot.
Mark Clark, was also killed and four other Panthers were wounded.
In spite of a ballistics report that showed the 14 police officers fired almost all the bullets in the raid, a grand jury failed to indict anyone.
Hampton’s family later filed a civil suit, eventually winning the case with a $1.8 million settlement.
The background and events of Hampton's death have been made into several documentary movies.

States' rights is a doctrine found in the United States Constitution in which certain rights are reserved for state governments and may not be interfered with by the federal government.
They are also protected by the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution as part of the Bill of Rights.
The discussion over states' rights is the oldest constitutional debate in the United States.
In one form or another it still goes on today.
States' rights, meaning the sovereignty and independence of individual US states, was guaranteed in the Articles of Confederation, the precursor to the U.S. Constitution.
It stated that the individual states "hereby severally enter into a firm league of friendship with each other, for their common defense, the security of their liberties, and their mutual and general welfare".
The articles created a weak central government with most of the power being kept by the individual states.
Within a short time, it was realized that a stronger central government and a constitution was needed.
The question of states' rights were debated at the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia in 1787.
They were the subject of debates between the Federalists and Anti-Federalists while the Constitution was being ratified.
Fueled mainly by the issue of slavery, the question of what rights belonged to the state and what belonged to the federal government came up during the 1820s and 1830s.
This is when the United States was expanding westward.
Southern states wanted the new territories to allow slavery.
Northern states wanted the territory to be free of slavery.
As the North's economy grew and the South's economy stalled, the two began moving farther apart on the issue.
By the 1840s and 1850s, each had adopted extreme positions based on the morality of slavery and economic self-interests.
As long as both North and South had equal representation in the United States Senate, neither side could dictate to the other.
But with each new state applying for statehood, the balance of power was threatened.
In the 1850s the issue of secession was raised again.
The Southern argument was that when they agreed to join the United States in the late 1780s, they kept the power to cancel the agreement.
South Carolina threatened to secede unless the Senate passed a constitutional amendment to give the South “the power she possessed of protecting herself before the equilibrium of the two sections was destroyed.”
Several peaceful attempts were made to find a compromise.
The Compromise of 1850, the Fugitive Slave Act of 1850 and the 1854 Kansas–Nebraska Act were all aimed at reaching a compromises.
However, only the Fugitive Slave Act clearly benefited the South.
Northerners bitterly resented the law.
It made all citizens responsible to catch any runaway slaves and return them to their masters.
Southern states' rights
While many people believe that the Civil War was about states' rights and not slavery, the Southern states were in favor of states' rights for themselves, but not for all states.
They did not favor states' rights for new states joining the Union on the question of slavery.
They wanted the federal government to decide these would all have to accept slavery within their own borders.
This can be seen in the Fugitive Slave Act of 1793, the Missouri Compromise of 1820, and the 1850 Compromise.
All were designed to force the Northern states to accept slavery.
In December 1835, Representative James Hammond of South Carolina proposed the House of Representatives force a gag rule against any member bringing up any anti-slavery petitions.
It was referred to a committee which decided the gag order should go into effect for anything regarding slavery.
Speaker of the House James Polk of Tennessee referred the issue to a special committee.
The committee chairman was Henry L. Pinckney of South Carolina who decided that any issues regarding slavery should be tabled without discussion permanently.
John Quincy Adams of Massachusetts objected but was outvoted.
He fought against the gag rule for the next four Congresses.
