The Iberian Union was a state that governed the Iberian peninsula between 1580 and 1640.
After the young king of Portugal and his uncle died, three of their relatives fought the War of the Portuguese Succession.
Philip II of Spain won, thus linking the monarchies of Portugal and the Spanish branch of the House of Habsburg.
This dynastic union joined the crowns of Castile, Portugal and Aragon along with their respective colonial possessions, under the rule of the Hispanic monarchy.
The institutions, government and legal traditions of each kingdom remained independent of each other; they merely had the same king of Habsburg Spain.
The alien laws (Leyes de extranjeria) determined that the national of one kingdom was a foreigner in all the other Iberian kingdoms.
The term Iberian union  was not used at the time, it is a creation of modern historians.
The monarchs had long wanted to unify the penisula: They had the  visigothic monarchy in mind.
Sancho III of Navarre and Alfonso VII of León and Castile both took the title Imperator totius Hispaniae, meaning "Emperor of All Hispania" centuries before.
If  Miguel da Paz (1498–1500), Prince of Portugal and Asturias had become king, the union could have been achieved earlier.
However, he died early in his childhood.
The history of Portugal from the dynastic crisis in 1578 to the first House of Braganza monarchs was a period of transition.
The Portuguese Empire's spice trade was peaking at the start of this period.
Vasco da Gama had finally reached the East by sailing around Africa in 1497–98, completing the exploratory efforts started by Henry the Navigator.
This opened an oceanic route for the profitable spice trade into Europe that bypassed the Middle East.
Throughout the 17th century, the increasing predations and surrounding of Portuguese trading posts in the East by the Dutch, English and French, and their rapidly growing intrusion into the Atlantic slave trade, undermined Portugal's near monopoly on the lucrative oceanic spice and slave trades.
To a lesser extent the diversion of wealth from Portugal by the Habsburg monarchy to help support the Catholic side of the Thirty Years' War, also created strains within the union, although Portugal did benefit from Spanish military power in helping to retain Brazil and in disrupting Dutch trade.
These events, and those that occurred at the end of Aviz dynasty and the period of Iberian Union, led Portugal to a state of dependency on its colonies, first India and then Brazil.

Cyclomatic complexity is a measurement to see how difficult a computer program is to understand.
The measurement was developed by Thomas J. McCabe, Sr.
in 1976.
It looks at the program's source code and measures the number of independent paths through the source code.
The concept is similar to the general text complexity, which is measured by the Flesch-Kincaid Readability Test.
Cyclomatic complexity is computed using the control flow graph of the program: the nodes of the graph correspond to indivisible groups of commands of a program, and a directed edge connects two nodes if the second command might be executed immediately after the first command.
Cyclomatic complexity may also be applied to individual functions, modules, methods or classes within a program.

He has criticized some work against sugars, one example in which:It is clear that Yudkin has no theoretical basis or experimental evidence to support his claim for a  major influence of dietary sucrose in the etiology of CHD;  his claim that men who have CHD are excessive sugar eaters is nowhere confirmed but is disproved by many studies superior in methodology and/or magnitude to his own; and his  "evidence"  from population statistics and time trends will not bear up under the most elementary critical examination.

Caspar Willard "Cap" Weinberger, GBE (August 18, 1917March 28, 2006), was an American politician and businessman.
As a prominent Republican he served in a variety of prominent state and federal positions for three decades, including Chairman of the California Republican Party, 1962-68.
Most notably he was appointed Secretary of Defense under Republican President Ronald Reagan from 1981 to 1987.
Weinberger was born in San Francisco, California on August 18, 1917.
He studied at Harvard College and at Harvard Law School.
Weinberger married Jane Weinberger in 1942.
Their marriage would last until Weinberger's death.
Weinberger was born in San Francisco, California in 1917.
His parents had been Jewish but by the time Weinberger was born they were not members of any synagoge or church.
Weinberger later joined the Episcopalian Church.
He had health problems as a boy, but did well in high school and was accepted to Harvard University.
While in college, he edited the Harvard Crimson, the university's student newspaper.
He graduated with a law degree in 1941.
Soon after he graduated from Harvard, Weinberger joined the United States Army.
When Japan attacked the US Navy at Pearl Harbor in December of that year, Weinberger went to war in the Pacific Theatre of World War II.
By the end of the war he served in intelligence, and became interested in politics.
He came to admire Winston Churchill, who was a personal hero of Weinberger.
After he left the army he went back to his hometown of San Francisco where he worked as a law clerk and a lawyer.
In 1952 he ran for the California state assembly.
Here he was well known for being a major supporter water infrastructure projects and for trying to stop a freeway from being built through downtown San Francisco (the freeway was built, but it was torn down in 1989).
He ran for Attorney General.
Although he lost, he became the chairman of the California Republican Party.
He served in a number of jobs in California before running the Federal Trade Commission, where he became known for enforced laws meant to protect consumers.
President Richard Nixon appointed Weinberger as the Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare.

When Ronald Reagan was elected President in 1980, Weinberger was appointed Secretary of Defense, the job responsible for military affairs.
While at this job he saw a military buildup meant to be a force against Soviet aggression.
He felt that if the United States had a stronger military it could better deal with the Soviet Union.
Weinberger was Secretary of Defense during the Iran Contra scandal, which involved selling guns to Iran to give money to a group of rebels in Nicaragua called the Contras, who were fighting the socialist dictatorship there.
Weinberger didn't want to do this but he did not prevent it from happening.
In the early 1990s he was investigated for it, but wasn't charged with a crime.
In 1987, Weinberger retired from the defense department.
He is often given credit for helping to end the Cold War peacefully by increasing pressure on the Soviets with military spending.
Some histories criticize him for not stopping the Iran Contra deal.
He was awarded the Medal of Freedom by the US and was a knighted as a Member of the Order of the British Empire by Queen Elizabeth II of England.
In 1989, Weinberger joined Forbes magazine as an editor.
He wrote a book in 1990 called Fighting for Peace.
Along with his wife Jane (who helped start him in politics), Weinberger retired to Mount Desert Island in Maine, near Acadia National Park.

The Battle of the Winwaed () was fought on 15 November 655 between the forces of Kings Penda of Mercia and Oswiu of Bernicia.
The outcome of the battle was a major victory for Oswiu and a restoration of Northumbrian dominance of Anglo-Saxon England.
Several events led to the battle of the Winwaed.
King Oswald of Northumbria was considered the bretwalda or overlord over the other Anglo-Saxon kingdoms in England.
Penda of Mercia defeated and killed Oswald of Northumbria in 642 at the battle of Maserfield.
Penda did not claim to be the overlord, however.
When his brother Oswald was killed, Oswiu of Northumbria claimed the throne of Bernicia but was not able to rule Deira.
It was a year before Oswiu felt it was safe enough to recover his brother's body from the battlefield where he was killed.
To appease Penda Oswiu gave his daughter in marriage to Penda's son Peada.
Also Oswiu agreed to the marriage of his son Alfrith and Penda's daughter Cyneburh.
Still, Penda was not satisfied.
He was determined to destroy Oswiu.
Then, about 653, Penda began raiding into Bernicia.
In a series of battles fought all across Northumbria, Oswiu kept being pushed back until he reached the far north of his kingdom.
When Osiwu wanted peace, Penda took Oswiu's son Ecgfrith as a hostage.
Oswiu also made an offer of tribute to Penda if he would bring an end to the hostilities.
According to Nennius, Oswiu gave Penda all the treasure he had which Penda gave to his Briton allies.
But Bede claims Penda turned down the offer of treasure as tribute.
Penda took his army and left Bernicia.
It was at this point, according to Bede, that Oswiu with a much smaller force attacked Penda's army.
He caught up with Penda on the banks of the flooded Winwaed river.
Some of Penda's allies deserted him and decided not to fight.
But probably catching Penda's main force by surprise Oswiu's army fell upon the Mercians without mercy.
Penda and most of the leaders of his 'thirty legions' were killed.
Also killed with Penda was king Aethelhere of East Anglia.
One of those who also withdrew and did not engage in the battle was Oswiu's nephew, King Athelwald of Deira.
He had guided Penda through Northumbria and been his ally against his uncle.
Because of the flooded river, more were killed by drowning than in battle.
The death of Penda and the rise of Oswiu to dominance had a major impact in 7th century England.
Athelwald was either killed or went into exile.

Agnotology is a branch of science which looks at the ways in which doubt or ignorance about certain subjects is created.
A very good example of how this happens is the publication of scientific studies that rely on data that is inaccurate or misleading.
More generally, the term also highlights the increasingly common condition where more knowledge of a subject leaves one more uncertain than before.
a Stanford University professor specializing in the history of science and technology.
Proctor cites the  tobacco industry's conspiracy to manufacture doubt about the cancer risks of tobacco use as a very good example of how this can be done.
Under the banner of science, the industry produced research about everything except tobacco hazards to exploit public uncertainty.
The way in which media attention works can be exploited to produce ignorance.
Other factors that influence it are that corporations or governments do not reveal certain facts.
At times, they force these facts to be removed if they have been revealed.
The methods they use include censorship, destroying documents, putting the weight of certain facts differently, or  being inattentive or forgetful.
Agnotology also focuses on how and why diverse forms of knowledge do not "come to be," or are ignored or delayed.
For example, knowledge about plate tectonics was censored and delayed for at least a decade because key evidence was classified military information related to underseas warfare.
Neologism is a word that is new (15 to 20 years or less) but older and used more than a protologism.
Neologisms are often directly attributable to a specific person, publication, period, or event.
(Greek: a "new word", or the act of creating a new word) is a synonym for it.
The term neologism was first used in English in 1772, borrowed from French néologisme (1734).
Using an existing word or phrase in a new context is also called neologism.
The process of using a word in such a new context is sometimes called a semantic extension.
A new word that has not been used by anyone but the inventer is a protologism.
Use in psychiatry
In psychiatry, the term neologism is used to describe the use of words that have meaning only to the person who uses them, independent of their common meaning.
This tendency is considered normal in children.
In adults, it can be a symptom of psychopathy  or a thought disorder, such as a psychotic mental illness, for example schizophrenia.
People with autism may also create neologisms.
Additionally, use of neologisms may be related to aphasia acquired after brain damage resulting from a stroke or head injury.
Use in theology
In theology, a neologism is a relatively new doctrine (for example, Transcendentalism).
In this sense, a neologist is one who proposes either a new doctrine or a new interpretation of source material such as religious texts.

A nucleus in anatomy is a brain structure (plural = nuclei).
It is a compact cluster of neurons.
It is one of the two most common forms of nerve cell organization, the other being layered structures such as the cerebral cortex or cerebellar cortex.

Some of the traditional names for brain nuclei also use that word.
In anatomical sections, a nucleus shows up as a region of grey matter, often bordered by white matter.
The vertebrate brain contains hundreds of nuclei, which vary in shape and size.
A nucleus may have a complex internal structure, with several types of neurons arranged in clumps (subnuclei) or layers.

The Battle of Maserfield () was fought on 5 August 642.
It was mainly between the armies of the Christian king Oswald of Northumbria and the pagan King Penda of Mercia.
The battle ended in Oswald's death and his army's defeat.
The site of the battle is reported to be at Oswestry in Shropshire.
King Oswald's uncle, King Edwin of Northumbria, was killed at the Battle of Hatfield Chase in 633 by Penda and his ally Cadwallon ap Cadfan.
After the battle Cadwallon and Penda began slaughtering the people of Northumbria.
Northumbria fell apart and was divided into its two former kingdoms of Deira and Bernicia.
Oswald defeated and killed Cadwallon ap Cadfan at the Battle of Heavenfield in 634.
After that Oswald reunited Northumbria into a single kingdom.
Penda remained a constant threat but was kept busy fighting the East Angles and making new alliances with the Welsh.
Oswald also created several similar alliances in an effort to contain Penda.
In 640 Oswald recovered the kingdom of Lindsey from Penda.
There is no record of what led to this battle or why this place.
As a pagan, Penda would not have been happy over Oswald bringing monks from Iona to Lindisfarne, further expanding Christianity in the north.
The conquest of the Gododdin at  Din Eidyn  (Edinburgh) in 638 removed the last stronghold of the Britons in the north.
Domnall Brecc, King of Dal Riata defeated them and was a close ally of Oswald.
Northumbrians may have been there also.
It would have angered the Welsh, Britons themselves, against Oswald.
In 642 the armies of Northumbria and Mercia (with his Welsh allies) met at a place called  Maserfield (probably in Shropshire).
Oswald's brother Oswiu finally recovered Oswald's body.
The battle of Maserfield left Penda "the most formidable king in England."
Following the battle, Deira, in the southern part of Northumbria, chose a king of its own, Oswine.
Bernicia in the north was ruled by Oswald's brother Oswiu.
The immediate effect of the battle was to weaken and divide Northumbria.
The long term effect was that Oswiu restored Northumbrian power over the next 13 years.
He finally defeated and killed Penda at the Battle of Winwaed in 655.
