In mathematics, the gamma function (Γ(z)) is a key topic in the field of special functions.
Γ(z) is an extension of the factorial function to all complex numbers except negative integers.
For positive integers, it is defined as
The gamma function is defined for all complex numbers, but it is not defined for negative integers and zero.
For a complex number whose real part is not a negative integer, the function is defined by:
Particular values
Pi function
Gauss introduced the Pi function.
This is another way of denoting the gamma function.
In terms of the gamma function, the Pi function is
for every non-negative integer n.
Analytic number theory
The gamma function is used to study the Riemann zeta function.
A property of the Riemann zeta function is its functional equation:
Bernhard Riemann found a relation between these two functions.
This was published in his 1859 paper "Über die Anzahl der Primzahlen unter einer gegebenen Grösse" ("On the Number of Prime Numbers less than a Given Quantity")

Necrotising arachnidism is a medical condition caused by a spider bite.
The skin can blister, form ulcers, and in some cases be destroyed (called necrosis).
It is very painful and could need skin grafts.
Doctors are still unclear about the treatment of the condition.
The only spider identified as being a causative agent for necrotising arachnidism is the Recluse spider (specifically, the Brown Recluse spider).
Whilst It is portrayed by the media to be caused by the bite of the white-tailed spider and the black house spider, no studies have definitively proven the causative link.
There is no specific treatment for the condition.
The farthing was a coin of the Kingdom of England.
It was worth one quarter of a penny, or  of a pound sterling.
The word 'farthing' is derived from the Anglo-Saxon feorthing.
It means a fourthling or fourth part.
The Anglo-Saxon word was probably derived from the Old Norse, fjorthungr meaning a "quarter".
Such coins were first minted in England in silver in the 13th century.
They were used until 1707, when the Kingdom of England was taken over by Scottish King, King James that united The British mainland United Kingdom of Great Britain.
Early farthings were silver.
The farthing was small (only 10 millimeters in diameter) and very light (slightly more than 0.4 gram).
Surviving examples are rare.
The first copper farthings were issued during the reign of King James I.  In the late 17th century the English farthing was also minted in tin.
In 1953, the British farthing's low value forced its last minting.
A Londoner complained of abusive vendors when he tried to offer the coin for purchases.
The coin ceased to be legal tender on 1 January 1961.

SKU (often pronounced "skew") is an acronym for Stock-Keeping Unit.
This is the barcode found on things sold in stores.
It is made in a way that laser scanners in the check-out lane can read the code.
The code is then used to find the price.
The bar code is made of vertical bars, some are thick, some are thin.
The scanner can see these bars and the pattern of the bars tells them what the numbers are.
The patterns are made in a way that the scanner can read it forwards or backwards, so it doesn't matter how the product is held, it can still read the number.
The numbers are often also written underneath the bars, so that people can read the SKU.
There are two parts to the number.
The first part is who made the product, the second part is what the actual product is.

Though conservative in his worldview, Tertullian originated new theological concepts and advanced the development of early Church doctrine.
He is perhaps most famous for being the first writer in Latin known to use the term trinity (Latin: trinitas).
According to The Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy, "Tertullian's trinity [is] not a triune God, but rather a triad or group of three, with God as the founding member".[13] A similar word had been used earlier in Greek,[a] though Tertullian gives the oldest extant use of the terminology as later incorporated into the Nicene Creed at the Second Ecumenical Council, the First Council of Constantinople in 381 AD, or as the Athanasian Creed, or both.[14] Other Latin formulations that first appear in his work are "One God, three persons, one substance" as the Latin "tres personae, una substantia", ('consubstantial', in English), itself from the Koine Greek "treis hypostases, homoousioi").[12] Influenced by Stoic philosophy, the "substance" of Tertullian, however, was a material substance that did not refer to a single God, but to the sharing of the divine substance of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.[13] He wrote his understanding of the three members of the trinity after becoming a Montanist.[12]

Faxing Berlin is a progressive house song by Canadian electronic music producer deadmau5.
The song is featured on deadmau5's third studio album Random Album Title.
The song received some controversy in 2008 by an artist named DirtyCircuit.
DirtyCircuit said that he was threatened with legal action after he used a sample called "LP_Faxing Berlin C_128bpm" that came bundled with the digital audio workstation FL Studio which deadmau5 claimed copyright.
The sample was a direct clip of a full bar from the song.
A "Demo Track" was provided by deadmau5 which came bundled with FL Studio, along with many loop samples.
FL Studio users became were in discomfort because of the case and some of the users had pointed out possible inconsistencies in the EULA of the software.
Lingula is a genus of brachiopods in the class Lingulata.
Lingula is known to have existed since the early Ordovician period.
Lingula is a good example of a living fossil.
Like all brachiopods, it is a filter feeder.
Brachiopods are superficially similar to bivalves, both having two shells.
Brachiopods are easily distinguished from molluscs because they have (different) dorsal and ventral shells.
Bivalves have mirrored right and left shells.
Lingula and most brachiopods also have a stalk (or peduncle) that extends through a hole near the tip of one of its shells.
Bivalves may be attached to a substrate with byssus filaments, that extend from between the shells.
The Lingulata brachiopods have existed from the Cambrian period to the present, a time span of over 500 million years!
Modern species of Lingula are very similar from their fossil ancestors.

The classification of brachiopods is being discussed at present.
The following is an overview of the different schemes which are proposed.
The "traditional" classification was defined in 1869.
Two further approaches were established in the 1990s:
In the "traditional" classification, the Articulata have toothed hinges between the valves, while the hinges of the Inarticulata are held together only by muscles.87–93
A classification devised in the 1990s, based on the materials of which the shells are based, united the Craniida and the "articulate" brachiopods in the Calciata, which have calcite shells.
The Lingulida and Discinida, combined in the Lingulata, have shells made of chitin and calcium phosphate.
A three-part scheme, also from the 1990s, places the Craniida in a separate group of its own, the Craniformea.
The Lingulida and Discinida are grouped as Linguliformea, and the Rhynchonellida and Terebratulida as Rhynchonelliformea.
Traditional phylogeny (and hence taxonomy) was based on:
overall body architecture, the idea of a body 'plan'.
the idea that evolution went from simple to complex.
certain basal features of embryology.
Phyla (et cetera) are man-made concepts which are meant to mirror our understanding of the reality we see.
However, we now know that morphological characters (traits) are more changeable than was previously thought.
Molecular data are more objective, and can be decided with more certainty than data on morphology.
Much more is now known about molecular sequences than is known about the evolution of morphology.
Thus, evidence from molecular sequencing is used to develop classifications which better reflect evolution.
About 330 living species are recognized, grouped into over 100 genera.
The great majority of modern brachiopods are rhynchonelliforms (Articulata, but excluding Craniida).

St. Ouen Football Club  is a association football club in Saint Ouen, Jersey, Channel Islands.
In 1972, they played a game against Scottish Old Firm team, Celtic.
The book was published on 15 May 1862 under the full title On the various contrivances by which British and foreign orchids are fertilised by insects, and on the good effects of intercrossing.
Darwin's previous book, On the Origin of Species, had briefly mentioned evolutionary interactions between insects and the plants they fertilised.
This new idea was explored in detail for orchids.
The field studies and practical scientific investigations were initially a recreation for Darwin, a relief from the drudgery of writing.
The work developed into enjoyable and challenging experiments, and he was helped by his family, friends, and a wide circle of correspondents.
The book was his first detailed demonstration of natural selection.
It explained how complex ecological relationships resulted in the co-evolution of orchids and insects.
The view has been expressed that the book led directly or indirectly to all modern work on coevolution and the evolution of extreme specialisation.
It influenced botanists, and revived interest in the long neglected idea that insects played a part in pollinating flowers.
It supported his view that natural selection led to a  variety of forms through the important benefits achieved by cross-fertilisation.
Although the general public showed less interest and sales of the book were low, it established Darwin as a leading botanist.
Orchids was the first in a series of books on his investigations into plants.
The book describes how the relationship between insects and plants resulted in the beautiful and complex forms which had fascinated many naturalists.
By showing how adaptations develop step by step, Darwin countered the view that beautiful organisms were the handiwork of a Creator.
Darwin's painstaking observations, experiments, and detailed dissection of the flowers explained previously unknown features.
such as the puzzle of Catasetum, three completely different kinds of flowers.
Darwin discusses how the Sack-Shaped Catasetum (Catasetum saccatum), a tropical South American species, launches its sticky pollen sacs with explosive force when an insect touches a hair (seta).
His friend Thomas Huxley said "Do you really think I can believe all that?"
In the book Darwin made some famous predictions, including his proposal that the long nectary of Angraecum sesquipedale meant there must be a moth with an equally long proboscis.
This was confirmed in 1903 when Xanthopan morgani praedicta was found in Madagascar.
Cocker Spaniel is the name for two dog breeds of the Spaniel type: The English Cocker Spaniel and the American Cocker Spaniel.
Originally, these dogs were bred in England for hunting Eurasian Woodcock.
Cocker spaniels are popular family pets.
The English version is usually brown and ginger in color.
Their fur is very soft and their noses are big.
They have very big floppy ears.
There are two version of cocker spaniels, show dogs and hunters.
They are the smallest of the sporting dogs.
They are bred from an earlier 19th century dog called field spaniels.
The smallest dogs in litters were called "cockers".
This was because They were small enough to go under hedgerows where larger dogs could not go.
They could also move through brambles and bushes to flush woodcocks into the open.
The smaller dogs became the American cockers while the larger dogs became the English variety.
The 2013 Southern California shootings were an incident that happened in Southern California.
The victims were law enforcement officers and related families.
The incident began on February 3, 2013, around which point 28-year-old Monica Quan and her fiancé Keith Lawrence, in Irvine, were found dead.
They were shot in Lawrence's car.
The suspected perpetrator of the crime, Christopher Dorner, put out a manifesto one day after the crime.
Dorner is a former officer of the Los Angeles Police Department.
On February 7, the driver of a pickup truck fired a rifle onto two officers, grazing the head of one and killing another.
The one that was killed was Michael Crain, who died shortly after the shooting.
Dorner was later found by police on February 12 and hid in a wooden cabin.
The cabin later caught on fire.
Human remains was found with a wallet reading "Christopher Dorner".
Christopher Dorner's early life
Christopher Dorner had many different identities in his lifetime.
He was regarded as been an upstanding citizen, an athlete, a law enforcement officer and a decorated military veteran.
Some people who knew him indicated that he was very intelligent and sensitive.
In a photo released by the police, he was standing up straight with the police uniform, smiling warmly, and the background for this photo is the American flag.
In 2008, he was dismissed from the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) on a charge of making false statements.
His colleagues said this was the turning point for his life.
He typed 6000 words and posted it on the Internet.
He released his anger and bitterness because of a decision that was made five years ago.
He believed and firmly believe the racism, twenty years after the beating of black suspect Rodney King by white officers unleashed waves of rioting in Los Angeles.
Overview of the case
Dorner started his killing with a plan.
First he had a package with some complaints, and sent it to Anderson Cooper, who is a television personality, and arrive at CNN on February 1, 2013.
Then Dorner tailed after a couple and killed them into their car on February 3, 2013.
In this murder case, the dead include the daughter for the LAPD (Los Angeles Police Department) captain who became his defence lawyer in the LAPD review board hearings of his allegations against his training officer.
In the end, he posted many statements which had next target's name and threaten them lives.
It cause the police to mount a widespread manhunt for Dorner, the area was from California to include Nevada and Mexico.
The police said the need protected more than 40 potential targets of Dorner's.
Thousands of police were patrol in Southern California's highways.
Details of the case
On February 1, Anderson Cooper of CNN got a package.
It contained a DVD and a challenge coin carve a notes "1MOA".
It meaned that the coin was shot at 100 meters.
On February 3, 28-year-old Monica Quan, and her fiancé, 27-year-old Keith Lawrence, were killed into a white car.
Quan, an assistant women's basketball coach at Cal State Fullerton, was the daughter of Randal Quan.
The crime scene was outside their condominium, in the city of Irvine.
On February 5, This information was for military sources that Dorner checked into Naval Base Point Loma in San Diego.
However, he didn't checkout when he left.
On February 10, The government offered a $1 million reward for information about Dorner.
Some people said he was hidden somewhere in the San Bernardino Mountains.
In February 13, It was reported that they found Dorner's body in the mountain cabin.

All the children were in awe of the beautiful cake Hulda's grandmother made, and they were all aware of the magic it held.
Between the fairy disguised as a flower on the top of the cake, and the ring hidden within it, the children were able to make a wish for whatever they pleased if they were lucky enough to find it.
After receiving the magical ring in her slice, Hulda is given the opportunity to make a wish.
A fairy appears from the flower on top of the cake, and tells Hulda she will give her anything she wishes for.
Unknowing of what her wish would bring, she asks for the fairy's wand.
After handing Hulda her beautiful gold wand, the fairy is stripped of her powers and will ultimately be held at the will of her enemy if she doesn’t one day retrieve the wand.
It could not be returned immediately, it had to be on a midsummers day.
Until then, the fairy requested that Hulda keep it safe for her while she was gone.
Days passed and the fairy had never returned, this left Hulda believing that the fairy had died.
A dishonest guest paid a visit to Hulda and convinced her to trade the wand for a piece of his beautiful jewelry.
After trading the wand for a bracelet with a bird clasp, Hulda realizes her visitor was actually a gnome.
The gnome was the enemy the fairy had been worried about; with the wand in his possession he would make the fairy his slave.
Hulda was aware she made a mistake, and did not rest until she retrieved the gold wand and returned it to the fairy.
Not only did she give the fairy her powers back, but also in turn she saved her own life.
History and Origin
A Lost Wand was written in the mid 1800s, pinpointing the date is difficult, but most publication of her work was done in 1865.
The poems and tales she wrote are the reason why her fame is at the point of where it is now.
A lot of Ingelow’s literature was influenced by the writings of Lewis Carroll and George Macdonald, and her stories were written specifically for children, not so much to teach a lesson; but for entertainment, which was a relatively new concept during this time period.
Hulda begins the story as a young girl at a party one winter’s night in Norway at her home.
Her parents bring out a grand cake with a small ring baked into it, the person who gets the ring receives one wish from a fairy.
Hulda receives this wish, she wishes for the wand the fairy has.
But is then upset when she found out because of her wish the fairy loses her powers.
Hulda spends the rest of her childhood guarding the wand until a poor peddler comes along and wants to trade it for one of his beautiful bracelets.
Because Hulda had not seen the fairy in a long time she assumed that she has died, and proceeds to trade the wand to the peddler.
She finds out that the peddler was actually a gnome who only wanted to get the wand in the first place.
She spends the rest of her childhood looking for the peddler to try and get back her mother ring which he also stole that day she met him.
The fairy appears first at the beginning of the story to grant the children one wish, when Hulda wishes for the fairies wand, she is stripped of her magical powers and can no longer grant wishes.
She becomes dim and soon disappears, but before she goes away for good she asks that the child keep good care of the wand for one day she may be able tor return for it.
When the fairy comes back in the middle of the story she finds out that the wand has been traded to the evil gnome who dressed up like a poor peddler and tricked Hulda into trading it to him for one of his bracelets.
Hulda thought the fairy was dead so she gave the wand away, when in fact the fairy tells Hulda she was in Africa far away from Europe because the gnomes can only come up in Europe, she was staying away so that she was not kept as a slave of the gnome.
Once Hulda returns the wand to the fairy at the end of the story she is not seen or heard of again.
The Peddler (Gnome)
The Gnome who also plays the character of the poor peddler appears in the story after Hulda has become a bit older.
He comes in searching for the wand that he knew was lost some where in the area she lived.
He disguises himself as a poor man trying to sell off his jewelry and trinkets, when he comes to the door to find that Hulda’s parents are away from the home, he begins to spin a web of lies that Hulda gets caught in, and mistakenly winds up giving away the Fairies wand, because the peddler convinces her that because the sheen of the jewels is gone, it means the owner has died.
He is delighted when he trades her the wand for a bracelet, so he leaves to go back underground.
Years later he resurfaces and finds out about Hulda’s bad health, he goes back away until he knows she has passed.
However She does not pass, due to the hot weather in the south she makes a full recovery.
When the peddler goes to the garden area to try and sell some more jewelry, he is confronted by Hulda and runs back to go hind underground however he is stopped by Hulda, demanding her mothers ring back.
He soon becomes confronted with not only Hulda but the Lizard as well, He seems frightened by the lizard and before she can even force him to give the wand and the ring back, Hulda has possession of them.
He then disappears underground with the Lizard, never heard from again.
Significance and Interpretation of Symbols
Norway is full of incredible foods, of all different kinds.
However, the most significant item displayed on the table is Hulda’s grandmother’s cake.
It catches not only the eye if Hulda, but all the others who are present.
The appearance of the cake is not what makes it special; the fairy taking the form of a flower on top of the cake is what makes it so magnificent.
The lucky child who finds the ring in their slice, gets to make a wish.
All wishes do not bring happiness; they can very well bring the opposite.
Although the cake is beautiful, the wish that Hulda is granted is not what she thought it would be; beauty is not always what it seems.
The Bird on the Bracelet
The bracelet would not have been Hulda’s first choice as a trade for her little gold wand; in fact she liked most of the items a lot more.
But just like the cake, not everything is what it seems to be.
The bird clasp on the lovely bracelet turned out to be a loyal companion that led her way to find the peddler and in turn, save the fairy.
This shows that those who deserve it receive the loyalty they need and kindness does not go unrewarded.
The peddler and his greedy ways however, do not go unpunished.
In the end, Hulda’s genuine intentions are turned into good deeds while the peddler is locked away underground away from the sunlight for eternity.
The most beautiful objects aren’t always the best choice.
A lizard; an animal often-found in hot, dry climates.
This is why it is not unusual that the master of the gnomes, who happen to like hot weather, is a lizard.
Most reptiles are perceived as slimy, nasty creatures.
In this case, the Lizard is fair and considerate of all situations.
She rewards those who deserve it and prosecutes those who do not.
Just like everything else, not all is what it seems.
Although it's small the power it contains is life saving, literally.
Without it, the fairy cannot live her normal life.
Her normal life is helping mortals, without that she does not want to live.
Once it became dim and the jewels, which decorated it, were no longer beautiful, it still has power hiding behind it.
To anyone else, it would be insignificant.
To the fairy, it meant the world.
It either meant her life would be back to normal, or turned into a life of misery and despair.
Even the tiniest objects can have the biggest impact.

Prionosuchus is a genus of extremely large temnospondyl amphibians from the Middle Permian (270 million years ago).
Its remains were found in Brazil.
The fragmentary remains of this animal were found in the  Parnaiba Basin of northeast Brazil.
With an estimated length of 9 m (30 ft), Prionosuchus is the largest amphibian ever found.
Cox and Hutchinson re-evaluated Prionosuchus in 1991 and thought it was synonymous with the genus Platyoposaurus from Russia.
However, Platyoposaurus had a total length of only 2.5 meters (8.2 ft), which suggested that the two animals were at least different species.
The age of the sediments suggested the two were not comtemporaries.
Most paleontologists consider Prionosuchus  as a valid genus.
Prionosuchus lived in a humid and tropical environment as indicated by the petrified forest of the Pedra do Fogo formation in which the fossil was found.
The strata of siltstones, shales and limestones were deposited in lagoonal and fluvial environments.
Other animals discovered in the same rocks include fish (primitive sharks, palaeoniscids, and lungfish) and amphibians.
Its general appearance was similar to a modern crocodile, such as the gharial.
It probably had a similar lifestyle as an ambush aquatic predator feeding on fish and other aquatic animals.
It was one of a group known as the Archegosaurs.
The archegosaurs were a group of temnospondyls that occupied the ecological niche of crocodiles and alligators during the Permian.
The smaller European genus Archegosaurus is typical.
The group went extinct at the end of the Permian.
