It is a member of the Eupleridae, a family of carnivorans closely related to the mongoose family (Herpestidae).
Its classification has been controversial because it looks like a cat.
However, other traits suggest a close relationship with viverrids (most civets and their relatives).
Its classification influenced thought about how many times mammalian carnivores had colonized Madagascar.
Genetic studies now show that the fossa and all other Malagasy carnivores are closely related to each other: they are a clade, the family Eupleridae.
The fossa is the largest mammalian carnivore on the island of Madagascar and has been compared to a small cougar.
Adults have a head-body length of  and weigh between .
The males larger than the females.
It has semiretractable claws and flexible ankles that allow it to climb up and down trees head-first, and they can jump from tree to tree.
The species is widespread, although population densities are usually low.
It is found only in forested habitat, and hunts by day and night.
Over 50% of its diet consists of lemurs, the endemic primates of the island.
Tenrecs, rodents, lizards, birds, and other animals are also prey.
Mating usually occurs in trees on horizontal limbs and can last for several hours.
Litters range from one to six pups, which are born blind and toothless (altricial).
Infants wean after 4.5 months and are independent after a year.
Sexual maturity occurs around three to four years of age, and life expectancy in captivity is 20 years.
The fossa is listed as "Vulnerable" by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
It is generally feared by the Malagasy people and is often protected by their taboo.
The greatest threat to the species is habitat destruction.
Ottoman architecture is the architecture of the Ottoman Empire.
It emerged in Bursa and Edirne in 14th and 15th centuries.
The architecture of the empire developed from the earlier Seljuk architecture.
It was influenced by the Byzantine, Iranian and Seljuk architecture.
It was also influenced by Islamic Mamluk traditions after the conquest of Constantinople by the Ottomans.
For almost 400 years Byzantine architectural artifacts such as the church of Hagia Sophia served as models for many of the Ottoman mosques.
Overall, Ottoman architecture has been described as Ottoman architecture synthesized with architectural traditions of the Mediterranean and the Middle East.
The Ottomans achieved the highest level architecture in their lands.
They mastered the technique of building vast inner spaces confined by seemingly weightless yet massive domes.
Their work achieved harmony between inner and outer spaces, as well as light and shadow.
Islamic religious building, which until then was simple but with extensive decoration, was transformed by the Ottomans.
They used vaults, domes, semi-domes and columns.
The mosque was changed from being a cramped and dark chamber with arabesque-covered walls into a beautiful sanctuary.

Seljuk architecture is the name given to architecture built during the time when the Seljuks ruled most of the Middle East and Anatolia.
This was between the 11th and 13th centuries.
After the 11th century the Seljuks of Rum emerged from the Great Seljuk Empire developing their own architecture.
Their capital was Konya.
They were influenced and inspired by the Armenians, Byzantines and Persians.
Great Seljuq Empire architecture
The architecture can be found in a vast area stretching from the Hindu Kush to eastern Anatolia.
Also from Central Asia to the Persian Gulf.
The homeland of Seljuk architecture was Turkmenistan and Iran.
This is where the first permanent Seljuk buildings were built.
Unfortunately the Mongol invasions destroyed most of these buildings.
Only a few remain.
In 1063 Isfahan was established as capital of the Great Seljuk Empire under Alp Arslan.
The most significant change was in the early 12th century.
It was the conversion of the hypostyle plan into a four-iwan plan mosque (see Shah Mosque).
Another mosque-type introduced at this time was the kiosk mosque, consisting of a domed space with three open sides and wall containing a mihrab on the qibla side.
The architecture of this period was also characterized by memorial tombs.
These were usually octagonal structures with domed roofs, called Kümbet or Türbe.
An impressive example of tomb architecture is the mausoleum of Sultan Sanjar at Merv.
It is a massive building measuring  square with a huge double dome resting on squinches and muqarnas pendentives.

Australia Men's national volleyball team also known as Volleyball Team Australia Men (VTAM) is the national volleyball team of Australia.
The Palermo Stone is one of seven pieces left of a much bigger stele known as the Royal Annals of the Old Kingdom of Ancient Egypt.
The stele has a list of the kings of Egypt from the First Dynasty through to the early part of the Fifth Dynasty.
It also listed important events in each year of their rule.
It was probably made during the Fifth Dynasty (about 2392–2283 BCE).
The Palermo Stone is in the Antonio Salinas Regional Archaeological Museum in the city of Palermo, Italy, from which it gets its name.
The name "Palermo Stone" is sometimes used for all seven pieces of the Royal Annals, including those in museums in Cairo and London.
The pieces are also sometimes known as the "Cairo Annals Stone".
The name "Cairo Stone" is also used to mean only those pieces kept in Cairo.
The Royal Annals are probably the oldest historical writing from Ancient Egypt.
They are very important for the study of Egyptian history in the Old Kingdom.
The Royal Annals stele, of which the Palermo Stone is one part part, was probably about 60 cm high and 2.1m wide.
The pieces that are left are type of hard black stone, probably basalt.
The Palermo Stone itself is shaped like a shield.
It is 43.5 cm high, 25 cm wide and 6.5 cm thick.
The writing on the front of the stone is six lines of hieroglyphs.
The first line lists the names of the Early Dynastic Period kings of Lower Egypt, wearing the Red Crown ).
The second and other lines has parts of the royal annals for pharaohs of the First to Fourth Dynasties.
These annals are lists of the key events in each year of the rule of each king, arranged in date order.
The second line on the Palermo Stone begins with the last details for a king of the First Dynasty.
The name has been lost, but it would be either Narmer or Aha.
The rest of the second row has the first nine annual entries for next king.
Again the name is missing but is either Aha or his successor Djer.
The rest of the writing on this side has the royal annals down to the kings of the Fourth Dynasty.
There is writing on the back of the Palermo Stone.
This lists events during the rule of pharaohs down to Neferirkare Kakai, third ruler of the Fifth Dynasty.
From the pieces that are left it is unclear if the Royal Annals continued beyond this point in time.
Where a king is named, the name of his mother is also recorded, such as Betrest mother of the First Dynasty king Semerkhet and Meresankh I mother of the Fourth Dynasty king Seneferu.
Archaeological history
It is not known where the stele came from.
None of the seven pieces has a proper archaeological history.
in Cairo is said to have come from at an archaeological site at Memphis.
The three other pieces in Cairo were said to have been found in Middle Egypt.
No one has ever said where the Palermo Stone was found.
The Palermo Stone was purchased by a Sicilian lawyer, Ferdinand Guidano, in 1859.
It has been in Palermo since 1866.
On 19 October 1877, it was presented to the Palermo Archaeological Museum by the Guidano family.
There are five pieces of the Royal Annals in the Egyptian Museum in Cairo.
Four of these were put in the Museum between 1895 and 1914.
The fifth was purchased in 1963.
One small piece is in the Petrie Museum of University College London, forming part of the collection of the archeologist Sir Flinders Petrie.
In 1895 a visiting French archaeologist realized the Palermo Stone was important.
The writing on the stone was translated in 1902 by Heinrich Schäfer.
There are arguments about the date of the Palermo Stone and of the Royal Annals it records.
Historians do not agree if the writing  was done in one go or was added to over time.
There is no agreement about the date of the writing; was it written about the times it describes, or was it written much later?
It has been argued that the stele was made much later, perhaps in the Twenty-Fifth Dynasty (747-656 BCE).
It seems clear from the details that, even if the Royal Annals, on the Palermo Stone and other pieces, were not written soon after the time they describe, they are based on an Old Kingdom original.
There are also arguments about if all the pieces are part of the same stele or come from different copies.
It has been suggested some of pieces in Cairo are not genuine.
The writing is difficult to read.
This because of both the poor condition of some parts, and because of its great age.
If the writing is a later copy, not from the Fifth Dynasty, there is also the chance that errors were made in the copying process.
The Palermo Stone and the other pieces of the Royal Annals are a very important for the history of the Old Kingdom.
For example, they list the names of members of the royal families during the first five dynasties which are not listed anywhere else.
New Kingdom Egyptian king lists, such as the Turin Canon (13th century BCE) and the Abydos king list (reign of Seti I, 1294–1279 BCE), say that Menes (probably Narmer) (c. 3100 or 3000 BCE) was the first king of the first dynasty.
They say that he was the person who unified Egypt.
However, the top line of the Royal Annals names some earlier rulers of Upper and Lower Egypt.
These must come from a time before Egypt was unified.
Linking the names of these kings with historical persons is still being argued about.
The ancient historian Manetho must have used something like the Royal Annals stele to write his history of the early dynasties of Egypt.
This was written during the third century BCE.
The king list which is the best match to his work is the Turin Canon.

Ennio Porrino (born Cagliari, 20 January, 1910 – died Rome, 25 September, 1959) was an Italian composer and teacher.
Amongst his compositions were orchestral works, an oratorio and several operas and ballets.
His best known work is the symphonic poem "Sardegna," a tribute to his native Sardinia, which premiered in Florence in 1933.
In the course of his career, Porrino taught at the conservatories of Rome, Venice, and Naples, and in 1956 became the director of the Cagliari Conservatory.
That same year he married Malgari Onnis (born 1935), a painter and theatrical designer.
She designed the production of Porrino's last work, the opera I Shardana, which premiered on 21 March 1959, six months before his death.
The couple had one daughter, Stefania (born 1957), who became a playwright and stage director.

Genets are Old World mammals.
They are viverrids, in the same family as civet cats.
They are feliform carnivores of the family Viverridae.
The closest relatives of genets are the civets, linsangs, fossa, and mongooses.
Almost all species are in the genus Genetta.
The common genet, Genetta genetta, is the only viverrid living in Europe.
Other species live in Africa.
Fossils of the genus have been found from the Pliocene.
Genets have long tails, about one to one and a half times the length of their bodies.
These longs tails are a counterweight which helps them keep their balance as they leap from tree limb to tree limb.
They are not strictly terrestrial, and spend much of their time in trees.
Genets have semi-retractable claws, which they use for climbing and holding prey, but not for fighting.
Genets are highly agile creatures, with quick reflexes and exceptional climbing skills, and are the only viverrids that are able to stand bipedally.
They are able to walk, trot, run, climb up and down trees, and jump.
They often feed on small mammals, such as rodents, shrews, and bats.
Small rodents are captured by the back and killed with a bite at the head, then eaten starting with the head.
They also eat birds, bird eggs, centipedes, millipedes, scorpions, and various fruits, including figs and olives.

Winnowing is a farming method developed by ancient people for separating grain from chaff.
Threshing, which is the loosening of grain or seeds from the husks and straw, comes before winnowing.
In place of a winnowing basket a colandar can be used.
In its simplest form it involves throwing the mixture into the air so that the wind blows away the lighter chaff.
The heavier grains fall back down for recovery.
This method is called "wind-grading".
Other methods include using a winnowing fan (a shaped basket shaken to raise the chaff).
Yet another is using a tool (a winnowing fork or shovel) on a pile of harvested grain.
Winnowing can also describe the natural removal of fine material from a coarser sediment by wind or flowing water.
This is similar to separating wheat from chaff.

Initially Warner Bros. attempted to sign Martin Scorsese in 2002.
He turned down the chance to direct the movie, calling it "unfilmable".
Later on, the movie became a "passion project" for director Akiva Goldsman.
He was given the go-ahead by Warner Bros. in February 2011 with a budget of $75 million.
The budget was later dropped to $60 million in February of 2012.
Will Smith and Russell Crowe were linked to the project in supporting roles.
Principal photography began in October 2012, though was delayed due to Hurricane Sandy.
Shooting took place at locations across New York City, including Grand Central Terminal, Red Hook, Brooklyn, East Village, Manhattan and Central Park.
It got negative reviews from movie critics.
On Rotten Tomatoes, the movie has a rating of 13%.
The movie performed poor in the box office.
Its intake was only $12.6 million in the United States.
It took in $30 million worldwide.
The linsangs are four feliform species, two in Asia and two in Africa.
The whole group was put in the Viverridae in a subfamily.
The two pairs are:
Poiana leightoni – Leighton's linsang
Poiana richardsonii – African linsang
Prionodon linsang – Banded linsang
Prionodon pardicolor – Spotted linsang
the African linsangs (Poiana) are true viverrids closely related to the genet.
the Asiatic linsangs (Prionodon) are not, and may be the closest living relatives of the Felidae family.
Discovering this, the Asiatic linsangs are now put into a family of their own.
They are not viverrids.
Therefore, the similarities between the two genera of linsangs must be convergent.
All of them are cat-like in appearance.
They are nocturnal, generally solitary tree dwellers.
They are carnivorous, eating squirrels and other rodents, small birds, lizards and insects.
Typical size is a little over 30 cm (1 foot), with a tail that more than doubles that length.
Bodies are long, with short legs, giving a low appearance.
All species have yellowish bodies with black markings (stripes, blotches and spots), though the distribution and nature of the markings varies between species.
The African linsang or oyan are two species in the genus Poiana.
They are viverrids in the mammalian subfamily Viverrinae.
DNA analysis showed that these African linsangs (Poiana) are true viverrids closely related to the genets.
I Shardana is an Italian opera in three acts, with music and libretto by Ennio Porrino.

In engineering, abutment refers to the substructure at the ends of a bridge span or dam.
This is where the structure's superstructure rests or contacts.
Single-span bridges have abutments at each end.
These provide vertical and lateral (side to side) support for the bridge.
They also act as retaining walls to resist lateral movement of the earthen fill of the bridge approach.
Multi-span bridges require piers to support ends of spans that are not supported by abutments.
Dam abutments are generally the natural valley walls.
They may also be artificial in order to support arch dams such as Kurobe Dam in Japan.
The term may also refer to the structure supporting one side of an arch, or masonry used to resist the lateral forces of a vault.
The word derives from the verb "abut", meaning to "touch by means of a mutual border".
In architecture a corbel or console is a structural piece of stone, wood or metal sticking out from a wall to carry a superincumbent weight.
It is a type of bracket.
A corbel is a solid piece of material in the wall.
A console, by comparison, is a piece applied to the structure.
A piece of structural wood projecting in the same way was called a "tassel" or a "bragger" in the UK.
The technique of corbelling, where rows of corbels support a projecting wall or parapet, has been used since Neolithic,  or New Stone Age, times.
The word "corbel" comes from Old French and derives from the Latin corbellus, a diminutive of corvus (a raven) which refers to the beak-like appearance.
Similarly, the French refer to a bracket-corbel, usually a load-bearing internal feature, as a corbeau (a crow).
The Turin King List, also called the Turin Royal Canon, is a list of the kings of Egypt.
It was written in Egyptian hieratic script on papyrus.
It is thought to date from the rule of Pharaoh Ramesses II.
The list is now in the Egyptian Museum  in  Turin.
The papyrus is the most complete list of kings written by the Egyptians.
It is the basis working out the dates of kings before the rule of Ramesses II.
Creation and use
The papyrus is believed to have been written in the time of Ramesses II, during the middle of the New Kingdom, or the 19th Dynasty.
The beginning and ending of the list are lost.
There is no introduction, and the list stops after the 19th Dynasty.
It may have been written at any later time, from Ramesses II to as late as the 20th Dynasty.
The papyrus lists the names of rulers, the lengths of their rule in years, with months and days for some kings.
In some cases they are grouped together by family.
This grouping is almost the same as the dynasties of Manetho’s book.
The list includes the names of kings who only ruled for a very short time, or those ruling small areas that may not be in listed in other sources.
The list also is believed to contain kings from the 15th Dynasty, the Hyksos who ruled Lower Egypt and the River Nile delta.
The Hyksos rulers do not have cartouches (borders around the name of a king).
They do have a hieroglyphic sign to show that they were foreigners.
The papyrus was a tax roll, but on its back is written a list of rulers of Egypt.
It includes the mythical kings such as gods, demi-gods, and spirits, as well as human kings.
As the papyrus was reused for the tax roll, it shows the list was not of great formal importance to the writer.
The list is thought to have been used as an administrative aid.
As such, the papyrus is not supposed to be biased against certain rulers and is believed to include all the kings of Egypt up through at least the 19th Dynasty.
The papyrus was found by the Italian traveler Bernardino Drovetti in 1820 at Luxor (Thebes).
In 1824 was put in the Egyptian Museum in Turin, Italy, and known as Papyrus Number 1874.
When the box in which it had been taken to Italy was unpacked, the list had broken up into small pieces.
Jean-Francois Champollion could read only some of the larger pieces which had royal names.
The Saxon researcher Gustav Seyffarth (1796–1885) looked carefully at some of the pieces, some only one square centimeter in size.
He made a more complete reconstruction of the papyrus based only on the papyrus fibers, as he could not read the hieratic characters.
Later work by the Munich Egyptologist Jens Peter Lauth, largely agreed with Seyffarth's work.
In 1997 Egyptologist Kim Ryholt published a new version of the list in his book, "The Political Situation in Egypt during the Second Intermediate Period c.1800-1550 B.C." Egyptologist Donald Redford has also studied the papyrus and has noted that many of the list’s names match historic monuments and other documents.
However there are some differences and not all of the names match.
The list may not be completely accurate for pre-Ramesses II chronology.
About 50% of the papyrus is missing.
It is 1.7 m long and 0.41 m wide, broken into over 160 pieces.
In 2009 new pieces were discovered in the storage room of the Egyptian Museum of Turin, in good condition.
The name Hudjefa, is listed twice in the papyrus.
The name is now known to have been used by the royal scribes of Ramesses II when the name of a king was unreadable or missing.
Contents of the papyrus
The papyrus is divided into eleven columns.
The names and positions of several kings are still uncertain as the list is so badly damaged.
Column 1 — Gods of Ancient Egypt
Column 2 — Rows 1-10 Spirits and mythical kings
Column 2 — Rows 11-25 (Dynasties 1-2)

The Asiatic linsang (Prionodon) is a genus with two species, the banded linsang (Prionodon linsang) and the spotted linsang (Prionodon pardicolor).
They are native to southeast Asia:
DNA analysis on 29 species showed that Prionodon was the sister-group of the family Felidae.
So the Asiatic linsangs are put in a family of their own, the Prionodontidae.
Prionodon is not closely related to the African linsangs, although they look similar, and live a similar life.
They are small cat-like carnivores adapted to catching small prey among the trees of a tropical forest.
The similarities between the two groups came about by convergent evolution.
Prionodon is basal to the Feliformia and a sister taxon of the Felidae.

A class action, class suit, or representative action is a type of lawsuit.
One of the parties is a group of people who are represented collectively by one member of that group.
The class action originated in the United States.
It is still mainly a U.S. phenomenon.
However, several European countries with civil law have made changes to allow consumer organizations to bring claims on behalf of consumers.
In 1991 China passed the "Civil Procedure Law" that allows class actions.
In Brazil class action suits have been brought against industries, banks.
and other organizations.
They have been used against environmental damage, product defects and false advertising to name a few.
Unlike the US, Brazilian judges award much smaller amounts for damages.
The predecessor of the class action was called a "group litigation".
They were used in England from the 13th century.
It involved groups of people suing or being sued in a court.
Group cases were easier to handle than numbers of individual cases, because of the slow and difficult travelling at that time.
Judges travelled round a circuit, and might visit a town only once or twice a year.
By the 18th century individual lawsuits became the norm.

The Trituberculata is an extinct group of mammals in the fossil record from about 215–85 illion years ago (mya).
The discoveries were isolated teeth, so not much else can be said about the animals.
They were small insectivores, and probably nocturnal.
The group contains the ancestors of Placentalia and Marsupialia; all modern mammals except Monotremes are descended from trituberculates.
The name comes from the three tubercles (cusps) of the molar teeth (not to be confused with Triconodonta).
The clade Trituberculata is not always regarded as valid.
They probably do not form a monophyletic group.
Instead, some may be "true" basal mammals (though not always closest related to each other).
Others (such as the symmetrodonts) may fall just outside the therian crown group.
