Ahmed Zewail (1946-2016) was an Egyptian chemist.
He invented femtochemistry and won the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for 1999.
Chemical reactions were once thought impossible to measure, because they happen in only a few femtoseconds.
His Nobel award was for using laser technology to measure extremely fast chemical reactions.
The laser technology showed how molecules changed during the reaction.
He was on the scientific advisory team for the President.
Zewail encouraged basic Egyptian education and knowledge.

Producer Gul Khan said, "The show is about a journey of life, its trials and tribulations and acceptance of one's fate.
It is said that God gives us the strength to change what we can and the courage to accept what we can't".
The story usually takes place in Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, India.
It moved to Punjab, India for a month in April 2014.
This was because the story jumped ahead 20 years to tell about the life of Asad and Zoya's daughter, Sanam.
Production was back in Bhopal in May 2014, because Sanam went back to the city where her mother and father lived.
The program is still airing in June 2015, and has shown more than 680 episodes.

Sybil Ludington (April 5, 1761 – February 26, 1839) was a heroine of the American Revolutionary War.
She was the daughter of Colonel Henry Ludington.
In 1773 he joined the rebel cause.
He was the colonel of the local regiment.
Sybil Ludington became famous for her night ride on April 26, 1777 to alert American colonial forces to the approach of the British Regulars.
Her action was similar to the ride of Paul Revere.
She rode more than twice the distance of Revere.
She was only 16 years old at the time of her ride.
Molly Pitcher is a legend from the Revolutionary War.
She was bringing pitchers of water to men working a cannon.
When one of the men fell down, she fired the cannon herself.
Historians do not think there was a real person named "Molly Pitcher" in the Revolutionary War.
Most historians agree it was a nickname.
They think the story of Molly Pitcher may have come from more than one real woman who fired a cannon.
Many of the battles were fought on hot days, and soldiers would ask for a pitcher of water to drink or to cool the cannons.
Molly was a common woman's nickname at the time.
History of the legend
Stories about the American Revolution were first told by talking out loud instead of writing them down.
This allowed the storyteller to make things sound bigger than they were or even make up things that did not happen at all.
Some stories are still told, long after professional historians prove they are not true.
The story of Molly Pitcher may have come from more than one real person.
Many women helped soldiers on the battlefields during the Revolutionary war.
Most were wives and daughters of soldiers.
According to the legend, "Molly Pitcher" brought water to a group of soldiers firing a cannon during a battle.
One of those soldiers was her husband.
She brought water many times.
When she came to bring water one time, she saw her husband had been shot.
Molly took his place and helped fire the cannon.
The Battle of Monmouth is probably where the legend started.
Her story was started many years after the war by writers and artists.
A Currier and Ives print of a "Captain Molly" appeared in 1848.
The first writing about Molly Pitcher was in 1859.
It wasn't until 1876 that someone published a genealogy claiming a local woman was the real Molly Pitcher.
After that, the idea of Molly Pitcher grew and grew.
Today, Molly Pitcher is famous.
She is in grade-school and high-school textbooks.
Internet sources even argue whether Molly Pitcher was a feminist.
The real women
Most legends start with some small truth.
Molly Pitcher is no exception.
There are several women who might have been the real Molly Pitcher, or it might have been all of them together:
Mary Ludwig Hayes (also called Mary Ludwig Hayes McCauley) is in records on June 28, 1778.
This is when she signed up to serve with the Pennsylvania Artillery.
She may have earned the nickname "Molly Pitcher" by bringing drinking water to soldiers in the heat at the Battle of Monmouth.
When her husband had heat stroke or was wounded, Mary took his place on the artillery piece.
The legend says she was personally thanked by George Washington after the battle, but this might not be true.
Washington made a comment during the battle, recorded by Dr. William Read.
Washington said that he was admiring the manner in which Proctor was handling their right.
He was referring to Captain Francis Proctor's artillery company.
Mary Hays was the wife of a gunner in that company.
The Battle of Monmouth started the myth of Mary Pitcher.
The state of Pennsylvania gave her a pension of forty dollars forty years after the battle for her heroism.
Margaret Corbin was serving with her husband at Fort Washington in present day New York City.
Her husband John fell wounded and later died, and she took his place at the cannon.
She was hit by three rounds of grapeshot in her arm.
She was captured by the British but returned to the Americans at a Philadelphia hospital.
She continued to serve, doing whatever she could even though she was injured.
Her arm never healed and she was given a half-soldier's pension in 1779 for the rest of her life.
Deborah Sampson at 5 feet 8 inches was a tall woman.
She dressed as a man and served with the 4th Massachusetts Regiment.
Because she had a good-looking face, the other men (thinking she was also a man) called her "Molly" as a joke.
She served for the rest of the war.
Sampson was the only other woman who received a federal pension for military service.
She had tried once before to join the army in 1782 by disguising herself as a man.
She collected a bounty for enlisting as "Timmothy Thayer."
She was caught the following day and had to return the money.
The Revolutionary war had many small fights and only a few large battles.
It was not unusual for women to be fight.
Women filled many roles that most people thought were only done by men.
A written account
Joseph Plumb Martin was a soldier in the Continental Army.
He wrote down of his experiences.
This came to the attention of historians in the 1950s.
Martin describes a woman at the Battle of Monmouth:
This account has been changed in other sources to show he gave her a name when in fact he did not.

Everything You’ve Heard About Molly Pitcher Is A Myth
A Marksmanship Ribbon is an award by the United States Navy, Air Force, and Coast Guard.
It is awarded to service members who achieve an above-average score on a weapons qualification course.
Also, there are select State National Guard organizations that award marksmanship ribbons for high placement in state-level marksmanship competitions.
The U.S. Navy has issued two marksmanship ribbons: the Navy Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon and Navy Rifle Marksmanship Ribbon, since 1920.
The pistol ribbon is awarded for qualification on the Beretta M9 9mm pistol.
The rifle ribbon is awarded for qualification on the M14 and M16 rifle variants.
The Navy issues the marksmanship ribbon in three levels — that of Marksman, Sharpshooter, and Expert.
The basic ribbon is awarded for the Marksman level.
The specific Marksmanship Device is awarded for qualification as a Sharpshooter or Expert.
Those receiving an Expert qualification receive the Marksmanship Medal in addition to the Marksmanship Ribbon.
Between 1942 and 1960, the Navy also issued ribbons known as the Distinguished Marksmanship Ribbons.
These awards were declared obsolete by 1965.
The United States Air Force awards a single ribbon, known as the Small Arms Expert Marksmanship Ribbon.
It is for expert qualification on either the M-16 rifle, M-4 carbine or the individuals AFSC's (duty) designated pistol.
The ribbon is issued in only one degree.
But, a bronze service star may be worn on the ribbon for those who have qualified expert on both the service rifle and pistol.
The ribbon was authorized by the Secretary of the Air Force on Aug. 28, 1962.
It was awarded to all Air Force service members who qualified after Jan. 1, 1963.
Prior to the ribbon, Air Force members were awarded with the United States Air Force Small Arms Marksmanship Certificate of Achievement (AF Form 1193 Jan 1961).
The Coast Guard Marksmanship Ribbons are issued under the same criteria as the U.S. Navy.
But Coast Guardsmen use a .40 cal SIG Sauer P229R DAK pistol instead of the Navy's M9 pistol.
The Coast Guard issues two ribbons.
they are known as the Coast Guard Pistol Marksmanship Ribbon and the Coast Guard Rifle Marksmanship Ribbon.
The Marksmanship Device is awarded for qualification at the higher levels of sharpshooter and expert.
Like the Navy, for those who receive an expert qualification, the Marksmanship Medal is awarded instead of the Marksmanship Ribbon.
Once a year, thousands of Army and Air National Guard shooters (champion marksmanship teams from each state) compete against each other at the Winston P. Wilson Rifle and Pistol Championships.
In the Missouri National Guard, the top twelve guardsmen selected to represent their state at the Winston P. Wilson matches are awarded the Governor's Twelve Ribbon.
This is worn on dress uniforms.
Any guardsman who earns the award more than once wear Hawthorn Cluster Device(s) on top of the ribbon.
In addition, these guardsman are awarded the Governor's Twelve Tab for wear on the combat uniform.
Similarly, the Adjutant General of Missouri awards the Adjutant General's Twenty Ribbon to soldiers and airmen.
It is awarded to those who qualify among the top twenty competitors at the Missouri State Combat Matches conducted each year.
They are the top eight combat rifle shooters, the top eight pistol shooters, the top two light machine gun teams, and the top two scout/sniper teams.
In addition to this ribbon, these guardsman are also awarded the Adjutant General's Twenty Combat Badge for wear on the combat uniform.
Guardsmen are authorized to wear these ribbons as a permanent decoration on service dress uniforms, to the left of federal awards, when operating under Title 32 (state control) status.
When federalized (Title 10), guardsman cannot wear these ribbons until they return to Title 32 status.
The U.S. Army and U.S. Marine Corps provide Weapons Qualification Badges instead of a Marksmanship Ribbon.
For the services that award the Marksmanship Ribbon, re-qualification is not necessary once a service member has obtained the award.
The ribbon may be worn throughout an individual's career.
In the Navy and Coast Guard, the Marksmanship Ribbon may be upgraded with a Marksmanship Device if a higher qualification is achieved.
Claudette Colvin was born on September 5, 1939 in Birmingham, Alabama.
She grew up in Montgomery, Alabama.
Colvin was arrested on March 2, 1955 for not giving up her seat to a white woman.
She was 15 years old when this happened.
Colvin was put on trial on several charges including violating the segregation ordinance.
The court found her guilty.
She was beaten up and ridiculed by white people after the incident.
Colvin was placed on probation.
Reverend Johnson bailed her out and when she got back home, everyone was so proud of her.
In 1956, about one year after Colvin refused to give up her seat, her lawyer, Fred Gray, filed the landmark federal lawsuit: Browder v Gayle.
This case stopped segregation on public transportation in Montgomery Alabama.
Claudette’s incident was before Rosa Parks even though she isn’t acknowledged much.
Around this time, Colvin was getting involved in the Youth Council of Montgomery of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).Even though the got a light sentence from the court, she was branded a troublemaker.
She dropped out of college and could not find a job.
Colvin moved to New York City in 1958.
There she worked as a nurse assistant in a nursing home while living there.
Colvin retired in 2004.
She is currently 76 years old.
Although she is relatively unknown, Colvin played an important part in the Civil rights movement.
TAT-1 (Transatlantic No.
1) was the first submarine transatlantic telephone cable system.
Two cables were laid between 1955 and 1956.
One cable for each direction.
It was inaugurated on September 25, 1956.
The cable was able to carry 35 simultaneous telephone calls.
A 36th channel was used to carry up to 22 telegraph lines.
The first transatlantic telegraph cable had been laid in 1858 (see Cyrus West Field).
It only operated for a month, but was replaced with a successful connection in 1866.
A radio-based transatlantic telephone service was started in 1927.
It charged £9 for three minutes.
A telephone cable was discussed at that time.
But it was not practical until a number of technological advances arrived in the 1940s.
The developments that made TAT-1 possible were coaxial cable, polyethylene insulation, very reliable vacuum tubes for the submerged repeaters and an improvement in carrier equipment.

James Armistead Lafayette (December 10, 1760 – August 9, 1832) was an African American slave.
He served in the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War as a double agent.
He served under the Marquis de Lafayette.
He reported on the activities of Benedict Arnold after he had gone over to the British.
He also reported on Lord Cornwallis just before the Battle of Yorktown.
James gave the British false information on the Americans.
He was an African-American slave.
He was owned by William Armistead of Virginia.
James took his master's name and called himself James Armistead.
James was born about 1748 in Virginia.
During that time, the British had destroyed Richmond, Virginia.
He lived in New Kent (36 minutes away from Richmond), which made him want to join even more.
After getting the consent of his master, he volunteered in 1781 to join the American army under the Marquis de Lafayette.
The Marquis used him as a spy.
Armistead posed as a runaway slave to the British.
He joined the camp of Brigadier General Benedict Arnold the turncoat who was leading some British forces in the area.
Pretending to be a spy for the British, Armistead gained Arnold's trust.
Arnold used him to guide British troops through local roads. "
The ex-slave, who later renamed himself James Armistead Lafayette in the general's honor, served as a double agent against the british under the avowedly antislavery Lafayette."
After Arnold departed north in the spring of 1781, James went to the camp of Lord Charles Cornwallis.
Again he posed as a runaway slave.
He was given a job serving General Cornwallis.
He moved frequently between British camps.
In each case the officers would speak openly about their strategies in front of him.
James kept this information in written reports.
He gave these reports to other American spies.
In this way he relayed much information about the British plans for troop movements and about their weapons.
Cornwallis hired James to spy for the British.
When he was sent to spy on the Americans he brought back an order for General Daniel Morgan to bring up all his reserves.
Morgan didn't have any reserves, it was a false order.
But it kept Cornwallis where he was leading to his defeat at the Battle of Yorktown.
The intelligence reports from his espionage were also instrumental in helping to defeat the British.
After the war James had to return to his live as a slave.
He was not eligible for emancipation under the Act of 1783 for slave-soldiers.
Spies were not considered soldiers.
When Lafayette returned to Virginia in 1784 he found out that James was still a slave.
The Marquis de Lafayette wrote a letter to the Virginia legislature praising James and what he did.
The quote said, “This is to certify that the bearer by the name of James has done essential services to me while I had the honour to command in this state.
His intelligences from the enemy’s camp were industriously collected and faithfully delivered.
He perfectly acquitted himself with some important commissions I gave him and appears to me entitled to every reward his situation can admit of.”
-Lafayette.
This won James his freedom and a pension.
James took the name James Armistead Lafayette.
James, now James Armistead Lafayette, bought forty acres of land in Virginia and began farming.
He married and had a large family.
He died August 9, 1830 on his farm in New Kent County, Virginia.

A trait or character in biology is a feature of a living thing.
It is part of an organism's phenotype.
Every living thing, from tiny organisms like bacteria, to plants, animals and humans, has some characteristics which make it special.
Thus an elephant has tusks, large size and weight, large ears and very large molar teeth (et cetera).
These are typical characters of the African and Indian elephants.
Biologists call those traits.
The living thing is built in a certain way; this is its anatomy, its structure or body.
The physical structure works in a certain way; this is its function, the way its body works.
An animal also acts in a certain way; this is its behavior.
The way that a living thing is structured, the way its body works and the way that it acts are all traits.
The basic traits are shared by all the members of the group, that is why they are put in the same group.
Other traits are only shared by a small number of the group.
It is an anatomical trait of giraffes to have long necks.
All giraffes have this trait.
It is a physiological function of birds to lay eggs to produce their young.
All birds have this trait.
It is part of the behaviour of wolves to live and hunt in packs; it is part of the behaviour of cats to live alone or in small family groups, and to hunt alone.
These characteristic behaviours are also traits.
Traits are heritable: they can be passed on from one generation to the next by genes.
Mendel's work involved the inheritance of traits on pea plants.
The whole group of traits of an organism is its phenotype.
Trait versus character
Different sources use the term differently. '
Trait' competes with the term 'character'.
The Dictionary of Genetics: "For trait, see character" and "Character: any detectable phenotypic property of an organism; synonymous with phenotype, trait".
'Trait'  as a sub-character
"Any detectable variation of an inherited character.
It is the expression of genes as part of the phenotype".
This works well with Mendelian characters.
In such cases, a character is a feature of a species which may present as various traits.
Eye colour = character
Blue eye colour = trait1
Brown eye colour = trait2
Appearance of pea = character
wrinkled = trait1

But not all characters are inherited in the simple manner of Mendel's pea characters.
For example, an animal's weight is a character, but many genes contribute to it, and so does the animal's environment from birth.
Weight is a) continuous rather than discrete (separate steps), b) polygenic (controlled by a number of genes), and c) because weight is influenced by both heredity and environment.
Only 'character' used
To avoid this issue, some sources use only the term character.
Futuyma uses  this system for Mendelian characters:
Blue eye colour = character state1
Brown eye colour = character state2
wrinkled = character state1
smooth = character state2

Shallots are a type of onion.
They are a botanical variety of the species Allium cepa.
The shallot was previously classified as a separate species, A. ascalonicum.
Shallots seldom produce seeds.

These are made up of several bulblets or cloves held together at the base.
The bulblets are planted the same as onion sets.
Each set develops into a compound set.

"Bad Blood" is a song by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift.
The song came from her fifth studio album 1989.
The album version of the song only has Swift as the vocalist on verses.
The single version has a different instrumental and guest vocals from rapper Kendrick Lamar on verses.
Writing and composition
Swift wrote "Bad Blood" about an undisclosed female artist.
She says that the artist attempted to sabotage one of her concert tours by hiring people that worked for her (Swift).
There are rumors from Rolling Stone, Billboard, Time and Washington Post that singer-songwriter Katy Perry is the subject of the song.
The original album version of "Bad Blood" only has Swift singing.
"Bad Blood" first charted on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 for 2 weeks in November of 2014.
It also charted in January of 2015 as an album cut from 1989.
It peaked at #78.
After the music video premiere at the 2015 Billboard Music Awards, the remixed song with Kendrick Lamar re-entered the chart at #53 and #26 on the Digital Songs Chart.
It sold over 47,000 digital copies.
The song hit #1 on Billboard Hot 100 on the week ending May 24, 2015.
It sold 385,000 copies.
It became Taylor's fourth #1 single.
It was also her third from 1989 (following "Shake It Off" and "Blank Space").
That made Taylor Swift the first artist since Adele to have three Hot 100 chart-toppers from the same record.
It was also her fourth consecutive top-ten single from 1989.
The original album version of "Bad Blood" received mixed reviews from music critics.
But, the remixed version of the song received mostly positive reviews.
Much of the praise was for Lamar's guest verses and the reworked instrumental.
George Seabrook, writing for The Edge in Southampton, England, gave the song four-and-a-half stars out of five.
He praised the song for "Lamar’s simple, brutally effective verses".
He also said that Swift and Lamar made "not just one more meaningless stunt collaboration, but a powerful new duo".
The music video was directed by renowned director Joseph Kahn, with Swift producing it.
He had also directed the music video for "Blank Space".
The video was shot in Los Angeles on April 12, 2015.
The setting for the video is the City of London.
The music video premiered on May 17, 2015, at the start of the Billboard Music Awards.
Several friends of Swift are present in the music video, such as British singer-songwriter Ellie Goulding, American entertainer Selena Gomez, and American actresses Lena Dunham and Jessica Alba.
All members of the cast chose their own names for their characters.
