Henry Fairfield Osborn, Sr.
FRS (August 8, 1857 – November 6, 1935) was an American geologist, paleontologist, and eugenist, and the president of the American Museum of Natural History for 25 years.
Osborn was one of the great dinosaur fossil hunters in the late 19th century.
Osborn got a Sc.
D. in paleontology from Princeton, and was Professor of Comparative Anatomy there  from 1883–1890.
In 1891, Osborn was hired by Columbia University as a professor of zoology.
At the same time, he got a position at the American Museum of Natural History, New York.
He served there as the curator of a newly formed Department of Vertebrate Paleontology.
Osborn named Tyrannosaurus rex and Velociraptor, and many other dinosaurs.
His biographer Ronald Rainger said he was "a first-rate science administrator and a third-rate scientist".
Under his leadership, staff of the American Museum of Natural History worked on displays.
The museum became one of the top exhibitions in the early twentieth century.
As a result, the murals, habitat dioramas, and dinosaur mounts attracted millions of visitors, and inspired other museums to imitate.

Seeing pink elephants is a figure of speech, that is used to describe a hallucination which is caused by alcohol, or delirium tremens.
Jack London was among the first to use the term, in 1913.
In the autobiographical novel John Barleycorn, he describes one kind of alcoholic,  as "the man whom we all know, stupid, unimaginative, whose brain is bitten numbly by numb maggots; who walks generously with wide-spread, tentative legs, falls frequently in the gutter, and who sees, in the extremity of his ecstasy, blue mice and pink elephants.
He is the type that gives rise to the jokes in the funny papers."
A reference to pink elephants occurs in the 1941 Disney animated film Dumbo.
Dumbo, takes a drink of water from a bucket spiked with champagne and  begins to hallucinate singing and dancing elephants in a segment known as "Pink Elephants on Parade".

Windows 10 Mobile is a discontinued version of  Microsoft Windows Windows 10 operating system.
Unlike the regular Windows 10, Windows 10 Mobile was meant to run on phones and tablet computers with screen sizes of 8 inches or smaller.
These mobile devices used the ARM or IA-32 processor architectures.
Windows 10 Mobile worked closely together with Windows 10 for computers.
Content would be synchronized across devices, apps made for Windows 10 on PCs, Android, and iOS could be remade to work on Windows 10 Mobile, and most high-end phones allowed the user to plug in their device to a computer monitor and use a "Computer-like" interface with a mouse and keyboard.
Many phones that ran on Windows Phone 8.1 were able to get a free upgrade to Windows 10 Mobile.
It was up to manufacturers and carriers to issue the update.
Certain features were not available on low-end or midrange devices.
Windows 10 Mobile came out on March 17, 2016.
It was released shortly after Windows 10 for computers, which came out on July 29, 2015.
In October 2017 Microsoft stopped active development of Windows 10 Mobile, except for security updates, because few people were using it.
Microsoft ceased providing security updates on January 14, 2020, the same day as for Windows 7.

The 2012 Benghazi attack took place on the evening of September 11, 2012.
Islamic militants attacked the United States consulate in Benghazi, Libya.
Killed in the attack were US Ambassador Christopher Stevens and Sean Smith a US diplomat.
Stevens was the first U.S. Ambassador killed in the line of duty since 1979.
Two other US diplomats were killed in the attack.
At first the attack was thought to be an angry mob.
But later it was learned it was a planned terrorist attack.
Late in the evening of September 11, 2012, about 150 gunmen with beards blocked off the streets leading to the US Consulate buildings.
The roadblocks were set up using pickup trucks with the logo of Ansar al-Sharia.
The assault began about an hour later.
There were seven Americans in the building at the time.
Five were armed security officers.
Libyan events
In February 2011, a civil war broke out in Libya.
A rebellion started against Muammar al-Gaddafi and his government.
A few weeks later U.S. envoy Chris Stevens came to Benghazi, Libya's second largest city, by cargo ship.
He arrived on April 5.
In August Gaddafi was driven out of the capital, Tripoli.
On October 20, 2011 Gaddafi was killed.
Chris Stevens was named as Ambassador to Libya in May 2012.
He was to be based in Tripoli.
Security people working for the U.S. government warned they needed more security but were turned down.
On September 9, Stevens met with Islamic militia leaders in Benghazi.
They warned there had been threats against Americans by extremists in Benghazi.
They also told the ambassador he and his group should leave as "soon as possible".
But they also said they wanted American investments in Libya.
They asked how soon Benghazi could get a McDonald's and a KFC.
Day of the attack
On September 11, several hours before the attack started, Stevens sent a message to the State Department warning the situation was getting worse.
Later, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said she was not aware of what was happening at the time.
The reason she gave is the State Department receives more than a million messages a year.
After the attack started, a rescue team (called the commander’s In-extremis Force) started getting ready.
But the ambassador was dead before the team was ready to leave Italy.
After the attack 30 or more Americans were evacuated from Benghazi.
CIA in Benghazi
There were five U.S. commandos stationed at the CIA base in Benghazi about a mile from the consulate.
They heard the attack starting and got ready to go rescue the ambassador.
But they said later, the CIA station chief stopped them from going and told them to stay with the CIA.
They also received a radio message from the consulate “If you guys do not get here, we are going to die!”
The CIA later stated they were trying to get local Libyan militia to go help the consulate.
But they also said they did not prevent the commandos from rescuing the consulate members.
American troops and law enforcement captured Ahmed Abu Khattala on June 15, 2014.
He is the suspected ringleader of the group who carried out the attack.
Other suspects also had sealed charges filed against them.
On May 8, 2014, the United States House Select Committee on Benghazi was formed to investigate the attack.
The chairman of the committee is Representative Trey Gowdy from South Carolina.

Keller is a German family name.
It means "cellar" or "basement".
It is also a version of the Old Gaelic O'Ceileachair, which means 'companionable' or 'uxurious'.
A suspect is a person believed to have done something wrong, committed a crime or caused something bad to happen.
In criminal law a person who is under suspicion or under investigation by law enforcement is considered a suspect.
A prime suspect is believed by police to be the suspect who most probably committed a crime.
A formal suspect may be arrested when the facts and circumstances would lead a reasonable person to believe a suspect may have committed a crime or is about to.
In common law countries a suspect may have a defense attorney present while being questioned.
The attorney may advise his or her client (the suspect) how to answer questions.
Once a suspect is charged with a crime he or she becomes a defendant.
Questioning a suspect
Common law countries
In the past in common law countries, a suspect could not be questioned against their will.
In the United Kingdom, under the Police and Criminal Evidence Act 1984, police can require suspects to be questioned.
Suspects are now required to listen to all questions, but may legally refuse to answer a question.
In the UK once a suspect has been formally charged, no questions may be asked.
In France, however, a suspect may still be questioned after being charged.
The suspect may still legally refuse to answer any question.
In the United States, once a suspect becomes the prime suspect, they must be advised of their Miranda rights before they can be questioned.
Then they may be formally questioned, with a defence attorney present if the suspect requests one.
Civil law countries
In civil law countries a suspect may be questioned by police and the judiciary.
This is to decide if there is enough evidence against a subject to bring the suspect to trial.
There are three phases to the investigation.
The first phase is a suspect is questioned by police.
In the second phase the suspect is questioned by a magistrate (called a juge d'instruction in France).
The third phase is the trial conducted by a state prosecutor in front of a panel of judges or magistrates.
Then, if the investigation trial shows a case is strong enough, it is brought before a tribunal for trial.
Terms confused with suspect
Person of interest
A person of interest is a non-legal term for someone police may be interested in.
In some cases a person of interest may simply be someone who has information related to an investigation or could be a witness.
Police may be suspicious of someone, but do not have enough evidence to justify calling them a suspect.
Sometimes police also misuse the term 'person of interest' to mean the suspect.
Another use of the term is by writers meaning simply an interesting person.
Police and reporters sometimes misuse the term suspect to mean the perpetrator.
A suspect is someone suspected of committing a crime.
A perpetrator (slang perp) is a person who actually committed a crime.
Good police work will eliminate suspects until they find the perpetrator (also called a culprit).
In the US and England, police have broad powers to arrest and detain suspects.
In Canada police supposedly do not have that power.
In a crime that gets a lot of publicity, police will sometimes detain a suspect for a period of time, then release them with no charges filed.
Somehow the news media is informed of the release and a swarm of reporters and paparazzi are there to take pictures for next day's tabloids.
Generally this is for a day or two in England.
In the US it can be up to 72 hours.
This process encourages the public to think of suspects as guilty, trusting the police would not arrest innocent people.
This is sometimes called "rounding up the usual suspects".
Sometimes police will call a suspect a perpetrator or person of interest and question them without giving a Miranda warning.
This is a technicality since in the US police are required to give a Miranda warning if arresting a suspect.
If after arresting and then questioning a suspect, police may decide they have the perpetrator.
Then they will hand the case over to the district attorney.

Dachau concentration camp (, ) was the first World War II Nazi concentration camp.
It was built in 1933 by Heinrich Himmler.
The original purpose was to hold political prisoners.
Dachau camp was located on the grounds of an old munitions factory.
It was southeast of the medieval town of Dachau, about  northwest of Munich in the state of Bavaria, in southern Germany.
The camp's purpose was enlarged to include forced labor and housed ordinary German and Austrian criminals.
Eventually foreign nationals from countries that Germany occupied or invaded were sent here.
It became a death camp for Jews.
Countless thousands of Jews died were executed or died of starvation, disease or overwork.
The Dachau camp system grew to include nearly 100 sub-camps.
These were mostly work camps or Arbeitskommandos, and were located throughout southern Germany and Austria.
The camps were liberated by U.S. forces in the spring of 1945.
Camp statistics
Estimates of the number of people who died here vary widely.
Complete records of how many died at Dachau do not exist.
Three weeks before the United States Army reached the camp, most of the important records were removed or burned.
A few days before the Americans arrived, Germans began evacuating prisoners.
But poor organization prevented all from being removed.
Prisoners from the Buchenwald concentration camp had been sent to Dachau.
When the last train was found, 2,000 of the 4,000 prisoners on it were dead.
Between 1933 and the liberation by Americans in 1945, about 228,930 prisoners had been sent to Dachau.
This includes about 7,000 who had just arrived from Buchenwald.
This number is close to that given by a US Seventh Army report of 229,000.

This was a key part of Hitler's "Final Solution".
Hitler wanted to kill all of Europe's 11 million Jews.
The camp operated from  to the end of .
Bełżec concentration camp was about  south of the local railroad station of Bełżec in German-occupied Poland.
Between 430,000 and 500,000 Jews are believed to have been murdered by the German SS at Bełżec.
There were also an unknown number of Christian Poles and Roma people killed there.
Only seven Jews working as slave labor with the camp's Sonderkommando survived World War II.
Only one of them became known from his own postwar testimony submitted officially.
The lack of witnesses who could testify about the camp's operation is the primary reason why so little is known about Bełżec.

The Away goals rule is a way of breaking ties in association football when two teams played two legs and once at each team's homeground.
The rule says that the team that scored the most "away from home" is awarded the win.
This rule is used in the UEFA Champions League, UEFA Europa League, FIFA World Cup qualification, CONCACAF Champions League, MLS Cup playoffs, AFC Champions League, AFC Cup, Copa Libertadores, Copa Sudamericana, CAF Champions League, CAF Confederation Cup, Liga MX playoffs, Football League Cup semifinals and Football League play-offs semifinals.
A real life example would be in the 2011–12 UEFA Champions League, where Marseille and Inter Milan were playing in the Round of 16.
Marseille won the first leg 1–0 at home, and lost the second leg 1–2.
Because they were away from home, and they scored one goal (unlike Inter Milan, as they didn't score a goal when they were away from home), they won the match on away goals.
Marseille 1–0 Inter Milan
Inter Milan 2–1 Marseille
