Titanic II is a disaster-drama movie from 2010.
It is not a sequel to the movie from 1997.
Certain movie websites, however, say this movie may be a mock of the 1997 hit movie.
The movie Titanic II is about the SS Titanic II luxury liner sent on a maiden voyage exactly 100 years after the original RMS Titanic, except the Titanic II is operating in reverse opposite the original ship.
The more recent ship exits New York City and heads to United Kingdom at Southampton.
Like the earlier ship, however, she crashes into an iceberg killing most of the ship's passengers and crew.
Only a handful of people survive.
Titanic II was condemned by many critics as a rip-off of James Cameron's 1997 movie.
The criticisms involved mostly plot and movie directions.

A botanical name is a formal scientific name which follows the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN).
If it concerns a plant cultigen, the additional cultivar term must follow the International Code of Nomenclature for Cultivated Plants.
The purpose of a formal name is to have a single name which is accepted and used worldwide for a particular plant or plant group.
For example, the botanical name Bellis perennis was given to a plant species which is native to most of the countries of Europe and the Middle East, where it has various names in many languages.
Later it has been introduced worldwide, bringing it into contact with more languages.
Some English names for this plant species are: daisy, English daisy, lawndaisy.
In other languages, some examples are: , , , .
The cultivar Bellis perennis 'Aucubifolia' is a golden-variegated horticultural selection of this species.

Crataegus azarolus var.
pontica (a Mediterranean hawthorn)
A name in three parts, i.e., an infraspecific name (a name for a taxon below the rank of species), needs a "connecting term" to indicate rank.
In the Calystegia example above, this is "subsp." (
for subspecies).
In botany there are many ranks below that of species (in zoology there is only one such rank, subspecies, so that this "connecting term" is unnecessary there).
A name of a "subdivision of a genus" also needs a connecting term (in the Acacia example above, this is "subg.",
subgenus).
The connecting term is not part of the name itself.
Binary name
For botanical nomenclature, the ICBN prescribes a two-part name or binary name for any taxon below the rank of genus down to, and including the rank of species.
Taxa below the rank of species get a three part name.
In the case of a species this is a specific epithet:
Bellis perennis is the name of a species, with perennis the specific epithet.
There is no connecting term involved, to indicate the rank
In the case of a subdivision of a genus (subgenus, section, subsection, series, subseries, etc.)
the name consists of the name of a genus and a subdivisional epithet.
A connecting term should be placed before the subdivisional epithet to indicate the rank.
Paraserianthes sect.
Falcataria
More than two parts
In the case of a cultivar there is an additional cultivar epithet (this is a non-Latin part of the botanical name and is not written in italics).
The cultivar epithet may follow either the botanical name of the species, or the name of the genus only, or the common name of the genus or species (provided the common name is unambiguous).
The generic name, followed by the cultivar name, is often used when the parentage of a particular hybrid cultivar is uncertain or when it cannot be linked with certainty to a particular species.
In Bellis perennis 'Aucubifolia', Bellis perennis is the name of the species, with perennis the specific epithet and 'Aucubifolia' the cultivar epithet.
Sometimes a subdivision of a genus may be indicated with a listing in three or more parts.
However, this is not its formal name.
Its botanical name is in two parts.

Speciesism is thinking that humans are better than animals (although humans are technically also animals).
It is also treating animals worse than humans.
For example, humans often kill animals to eat.
Humans rarely kill and eat other humans.
The word 'speciesism' was first used in 1970 by Richard D. Ryder, an English philosopher, in a pamphlet called "Speciesism".
It was made popular by Peter Singer's 1975 book Animal Liberation.
In the book the name of the fifth chapter was "Man's Dominion ... a short history of speciesism".
The word 'speciesism' was first put in the Oxford English Dictionary in 1985.
In 2013 a documentary movie about speciesism called Speciesism: The Movie was released.
It was made by Mark Devries.

De Colores is a common folk song in the Spanish-speaking world.
Today, it is the anthem of the United Farm Workers movement.
No one knows for sure when the song first began to be sung in the Americas.
The melody is thought to have been used in North and South America since the 16th century, having been brought over from Spain in the colonial era.
However, the version of the lyrics sung today is thought to have been created by a group of Cursillo participants in Majorca, Spain, after one of the earliest Cursillo retreats in the 1940s.
Today, in addition to being used as the unofficial anthem of the United Farm Workers movement, and as an inspirational song in Cursillo workshops, the song is often taught in schools in the United States—from elementary school to community colleges—as an example of a common American folk song.
It often appears in collections of children's songs.
Common song words
De colores is usually sung in Spanish, but there are different English translations of the song.
The song has also been translated into other languages.
The lyrics depict an expression of joy and a celebration of all creation with its many bright colors.
Below are  four of the most commonly heard verses.
Many additional verses (and variations of these verses) are known to exist, some including Christian references and some including more specific to farm life or labor union issues to be used as a rallying-song for farm-laborers.
In colors, in colors
And that is why I love
The hen, the hen
The chicks, the chicks
Joyous, joyous
Let us quench, let us quench
Spreading the light that illuminates
All the colors, colors

Many related plants also share the name "daisy", so to distinguish this species from other daisies it is sometimes qualified as common daisy, lawn daisy or English daisy.
The plant resembles Leucanthemum vulgare, a similar plant in the same family.
Bellis perennis is native to western, central and northern Europe, but widely naturalised in most temperate regions including the Americas, and Australasia.
Linnaeus named the plant species Bellis perennis in Sp.
2: 886.
Bellis is the Latin word for "pretty", "beautiful"; this word was used also as the name of the plant, and Pliny the Elder wrote Bellis in pratis nascitur, flore albo... ("The daisy that grows in the meadows, with a white flower...").
perennis, Latin for "that lasts the whole year", "perennial".
It is an low herbaceous perennial plant with short rhizomes and rosettes of small rounded or spoon-shaped leaves that are  long and grow flat to the ground.
The flower heads are  in diameter.
Although the 'flower' may appear to consist of a yellow centre with white petals, this is not the case.
Each individual "petal" is itself an individual flower; these flowers are called ray flowers.
In the centre (the "disk") there are also many tiny yellow flowers; these are called the disk flowers.
The different colours and styles of flower work together in order to attract insects.
The flower heads are produced on stems without leaves that are  tall.
Bellis perennis is native to Northern Africa (Morocco), Southwestern Asia, and Europe; widely introduced and naturalised elsewhere.
The species habitually colonises grasslands, including lawns, and is difficult to eradicate.
Wherever it appears it is often considered an invasive weed.
Uses as food
This daisy may be used as a leaf vegetable.
Young leaves can be eaten raw in salads  or cooked, noting that the leaves become increasingly astringent with age.
Flower buds and petals can be eaten raw in sandwiches, soups and salads.

They will sometimes look for better shelter during the storm.
They might hide under a bed, under blankets, in a closet, in a basement, or anywhere else where they feel safe.
A sign that a person has astraphobia is if they are very interested in weather forecasts.
A person with astraphobia will want to hear news of storms that are coming by watching the weather on television or watching the storms on the internet.

An electrostatic precipitator (ESP) is a device to capture particles from a flowing gas.
It uses the force produced by electrostatic charge.
ESPs are used in many power plants which burn fuel to produce energy, such as in power stations.
Any gas produced by fuel burning will pollute the air much less after being passed through an ESP.
A voltage spike is a sudden increase in voltage value over a short time in power systems.
It can be caused by several factors, but mostly it is due to external or internal disturbance.
A voltage spike might cause an increase in current, but the increase in voltage might have been caused by the current increase as well.
A transmission tower or pylon (also known as an ironman in Australia and a hydro tower in parts of Canada) is a tall tower used for electric power transmission.
It carries the electrical conductors (wires) of high-voltage overhead power lines.
The tower is high for a safe distance for people, animals or things below the wires.
Most big transmission towers are lattice steel structures.
Smaller ones may be wood, concrete or steel poles.
Most transmission towers are built as suspension towers.
They only hold up the wires, not pull them.
Their insulators are used vertically.
Tension towers (also known as anchor towers) pull on the wires.
Their insulators are used horizontally.
They work as terminal towers at the end of a power line.
They work as branch towers where power lines split and run in different directions.
Transposition towers are relatively rare.
They allow the wires to change their position on the tower.

A boiler feedwater pump is a pump that supplies water to a boiler.
The water can be supplied freshly from a water source (such as a reservoir) or from water that has gone through the condensation process from the previous water cycle.
The pump is a high-pressure pump, and it can be found in any plant that uses boiler, such as thermal power stations.
Three-phase electric power is a method to generate, transmit and distribute AC electricity.
It is the most common method in power systems to transfer power from generation to load.
Three-phase systems are usually more economical to be used than equivalent single-phase or double-phase systems.
In electricity, the power factor (PF or cosφ) is the ratio between the power that can be used in electric circuit (real power, P) and the power from the result of multiplication between the current and voltage circuit (apparent power, S).
The power factor is defined as:
PF ranges from zero to one.
The higher the PF, the more efficient the circuit is because more power can be used, and vice versa.
Factors that can cause PF to be less than one is non-linear load, which are capacitive load and inductive load.
