Al-Nusra Front or Jabhat al-Nusra (), known as Jabhat Fatah al-Sham () is one of the organizations fighting in the Syrian Civil War.
Since July 2016, it has also been known as  Jabhat Fateh al-Sham (, transliteration: Jabhat Fataḥ al-Šām).
It has also been called al-Qaeda in Syria or al-Qaeda in the Levant.
They are a Salafist organization and want to create an Islamic state in the country.
The group announced its formation on 23 January 2012.
The United States designated Jabhat al-Nusra as a foreign terrorist organization, followed by the United Nations Security Council and many other countries.
It was the official Syrian branch of al-Qaeda until July 2016, when it became a separate organization.
In early 2015, the group became one of the major components of the powerful jihadist joint operations room named the Army of Conquest, which took over large territories in Northwestern Syria.
It also operates in neighbouring Lebanon.
In November 2012, The Washington Post described al-Nusra as the most successful arm of the rebel forces.
According to spokesmen of a moderate wing of the Free Syrian Army (FSA),  in November 2012 Nusra had between 6,000 and 10,000 fighters, which was 7–9% of the FSA's total fighters.
Commentator David Ignatius for The Washington Post described Nusra then as the most aggressive and successful arm of the FSA.
The United States Department of State stated likewise: "From the reports we get from the doctors, most of the injured and dead FSA are Jabhat al-Nusra, due to their courage and [the fact they are] always at the front line".
On 10 December 2012, the U.S. designated Nusra a foreign terrorist organization and an alias of Al Qaeda in Iraq.
That decision made it illegal for Americans to deal financially with Nusra.
Days earlier, the American ambassador to Syria, R. Ford, had said: "Extremist groups like Jabhat al-Nusra are a problem, an obstacle to finding the political solution that Syria's going to need".

Condorraptor (meaning 'robber from Cerro Condor') is a genus of Megalosaurid theropod dinosaur.
From the Middle Jurassic of Argentina, it was one of the earliest large South American theropods.
The animal was about 4.5 metres long and it weighed about 200 kg.
It is very similar to another theropod from the same formation called Piatnitzkysaurus.
Marshosaurus is a genus of medium-sized carnivorous theropod dinosaur.
It was from the Upper Jurassic Morrison Formation of Utah and perhaps Colorado.
This carnivore operated in the same territory as the larger and more famous Allosaurus.
It was about 4.5 metres long and weighed 200 kg.
The Morrison Formation is a sequence of shallow sea and river delta sediments between 156.3 million years ago at its base, to 146.8 mya at the top.
That puts it in the later Jurassic period.
The area would have been rather dry, with distinct wet and dry seasons.
The Morrison Basin where dinosaurs lived, stretched from New Mexico to Alberta and Saskatchewan.
It was formed when the early Rocky Mountains started pushing up in the west.
The deposits from their east-facing drainage basins were carried by streams and rivers and deposited in swampy lowlands, lakes, river channels and floodplains.
This formation is similar in age to the Solnhofen Limestone Formation in Germany and the Tendaguru Formation in Tanzania.
In 1877 this formation became the center of the Bone Wars, a fossil-collecting rivalry between early paleontologists Othniel Charles Marsh and Edward Drinker Cope.

History of Thespesius
Thespecius was discovered in Montana in 1855.
Known fossils include vertebrae and toe bones (phalanx).
The name Thespesius means wondrous one.
Leidy avoided using the suffix "saurus" in the genus name because Vandiveer Hayden had claimed the bones came from a layer from the Miocene so there was a chance that the animal would turn out to be a mammal, though Leidy himself was convinced it was a dinosaurian.
Thespesius turned out to be a dinosaur.

The Cleveland-Lloyd Dinosaur Quarry is well known for having the densest concentration of Jurassic dinosaur fossils ever found.
It is a paleontological site near Cleveland, Utah.
The quarry is in a part of the geological layers known as the Morrison Formation.
Well over 15,000 bones have been excavated from this Jurassic excavation site.
There are many thousands more awaiting excavation and study.
It was designated a National Natural Landmark in October 1965.
All of these bones, belonging to different species, are found disarticulated and mixed together.
Perhaps this strong concentration of mixed fossilised bones is due to a "predator trap".
No scientific consensus has been reached yet and debates continue to the present day.

Guhyasamāja Tantra (Sanskrit: Guhyasamājatantra; Tibetan: Gsang ’dus rtsa rgyud; English: Tantra of the Secret Community) is a tantra method of Tibetan Buddhism.
The central figure is called "Vajra‐pāni" which means a vajra-carrier or a vajra-master.
The Guhyasamāja Tantra was the secret gathering based on thought that having sexual relations with many women would contribute to Buddhism awakening.
The legitimate wives of the vajra‐sattvaḥa, called "dakinis", were limited only to virgins.
Although the number of dakinis is variously drafted according to the literature, it probably amounts to a number of geometrical progressionwise.
Also statues and pictures were made to beautify the method.
However, because those acts had no integrity to fundamental buddhist precepts, it is no longer done in Tibetan Buddhism.
On the contrary, warning symbols and festivals, such as Citipati, are widely spread.
A music sequencer (or simply sequencer) is a device or application software that can record, edit, or play back music, by handling note and performance information in several forms, typically CV/Gate, MIDI, or Open Sound Control (OSC), and possibly audio and automation data for DAWs and plug-ins.
Shearography is a method used to test if something is broken on the inside, where people cannot see.
Things that can be tested with shearography are airplane wings, wind turbine generator blades, boats, and other structures.
A special camera is used to take a picture of something that might be broken inside.
After this picture is taken, the structure is pushed a little bit so that it bends slightly.
While it is bent, another photo is taken with the special camera in the same location.
The special camera uses computer software to compare the two pictures.
If the software sees any damage, it will display the damage on a computer monitor so people can see it.

In physics, two wave sources are perfectly coherent if they have a constant phase difference and the same frequency, and the same waveform.
In such a case the waves plot as identical: their peaks and troughs occur at the same time, and they have the same amplitude.
Coherence is an ideal property of waves.
It produces stationary (i.e. temporally and spatially constant) interference.
The idea has several distinct concepts.
These are limiting cases which never quite occur in reality.
However, they allow an understanding of the physics of waves, and have become an important concept in quantum physics.

The Battle of Fulford took place on the 20th September 1066 near York.
The battle was between Viking invaders and English Earls.
It was fought by, on one side, King Harald III of Norway (Harald Hardrada  (Old Norse, meaning "hard ruler") and his English ally Tostig Godwinson.
On the other side were two Earls, Edwin and Morcar.
Tostig was the exiled brother of the English king Harold Godwinson.
The battle was fought out on the outskirts of the village of Fulford, close to York.
The battle was a decisive victory for the Viking army.
The earls of York could have hidden behind the walls of their city.
Instead, they met the Viking army across a river.
All day the English tried to break the Viking shield wall but failed.
Edwin and Morcar had survived the battle.
York surrendered to the Norwegians.
Harald had won the battle.
One cause of the battle was that Earl Morcar had replaced Tostig as Earl of Northumbria.
The  Anglo-Saxon king Edward the Confessor died on 5 January 1066 without an heir.
The only surviving member of the royal family was Edgar, the young son of Edward Ætheling.
On the day of King Edward's funeral, 6 January, Harold Godwinson, the Earl of Wessex, rushed to London, where he was crowned king in the Abbey of Saint Peter of Westminster, by Ealdred, Archbishop of York.
Harold Godwinson was elected as King by the Witenagemot, who had gathered in Westminster to celebrate the feast of Epiphany.
However, two powerful earls, brothers Edwin of Mercia and Morcar of Northumbria, challenged his authority.
Sources indicate that Harold moved north to confront them; however, in the end he got their loyalty by marrying their sister, Edith, the widow of Griffith of Wales.
By securing the loyalty of Edwin and Morcar, Godwinson increased his strength in the north.
These men were, in fact, the first barrier between Harald Hardrada and Harold Godwinson.
The defeat of the earls had a big consequence.
Because his enemies won, King Harold Godwinson had to force-march his troops , from London to York.
He did this within a week of Fulford.
He surprised   the Viking army and defeated them at the Battle of Stamford Bridge.
In the meantime William, Duke of Normandy, had landed his army in Sussex on the south coast.
Probably the engagements at Fulford Gate and at the Battle of Stamford Bridge  seriously affected Harold's strength at the Battle of Hastings some three weeks later.
There is no doubt that if Harold had not been diverted by the battles in the north, he would have been better prepared to fight William at Hastings and the result might have been different.
