The Bahá'í calendar, named the Badí‘ calendar (badí‘ means wondrous or unique), is a solar calendar used by Bábism and the Bahá'í Faith.
Each year starts on "Naw-Rúz", the vernal equinox (in March), and has 19 months.
Each month has 19 days.
An extra 4 or 5 days are added between the last two months so that the next year also starts on the equinox.
Each day begins at sunset.
The time of sunset and the time of the equinox are calculated by astronomers.
The months are known by their Arabic names.
The days within each month also use the same names.
Here they are with their usual English translations:

A non-coding RNA (ncRNA) is a functional RNA molecule which is not translated into a protein.
Less-used synonyms are non-protein-coding RNA (npcRNA), non-messenger RNA (nmRNA) and functional RNA (fRNA).
The term small RNA (sRNA) is often used for short bacterial ncRNAs.
The DNA sequence from which a non-coding RNA is transcribed is often called an 'RNA gene'.
Non-coding RNA genes include abundant and important RNAs such as transfer RNA (tRNA) and ribosomal RNA (rRNA); also RNAs such as snoRNAs, microRNAs, siRNAs, snRNAs, exRNAs, and piRNAs and the long noncoding RNAs (long ncRNAs).
The number of ncRNAs in the human genome is unknown.
However recent studies suggest the existence of thousands of ncRNAs.,
but see  Since the function of newly identified ncRNAs has not been proved, it is possible that many are non-functional.
The first non-coding RNA to be analysed was an alanine tRNA found in baker's yeast.
Its structure was published in 1965.

The handicap principle was invented by Prof. Amotz Zahavi from Tel Aviv University.
It claims to explain the fact that some animals have characteristics that do not necessarily help them survive.
Let's take the peacock for example.
The peacock's tail is long and heavy and actually diminishes its chances to survive.
So why did it evolutionarily survive?
According to the principle, one day, a mutant peahen that likes peacocks with longer tail, looked for a male with this characteristic.
The mature male she found was strong enough to survive even though it had a long tail and therefore it is probably stronger than the average peacock.
Therefore, its predecessor males are going to be stronger and also to have a long tail while the newborn females are going to like long tails, passing the ideals of the principle to the next generations.

GD 61 is a white dwarf star.
It is 150 light-years from Earth in the constellation Perseus.
The star has a planetary system.
It may once have been a main sequence star of spectral type A0V with around three times the mass of the Sun.
It has aged and passed through a red giant phase.
What was left is a dense hot remnant.
This remnant has around 70% of the Sun's mass and a surface temperature of 17280 K. It is thought to be around 600 million years old.
This age includes both its life as a main sequence star, and as a white dwarf stellar remnant.
It has an apparent magnitude of 14.8.
GD 61 was first noted as a potential degenerate star in 1965.
This was done in a survey of white dwarf suspects by astronomers from the Lowell Observatory in Arizona.
An asteroid in the system was detected in 2013 that contains water.
This was the first finding of solid or liquid water on an extrasolar body.
The asteroid, the first extrasolar asteroid detected, is 26% water by mass, close to the water content of Ceres.
This means that a planet, with a rocky surface similar to Earth's, may have existed in the past.
The asteroid could be an artifact from this period.
It is now possibly part of a debris field from that planet's breakup.
Such a planet would have had both a rocky surface and water.
These are two key ingredients for life.
The researchers used the Cosmic Origins Spectrograph on the Hubble Space Telescope to determine what it is made of.
The elements magnesium, silicon, iron and oxygen were detected.
These are all components of rocky planets.
However, the amount of oxygen is much higher than what was expected.
There was also less carbon than expected.
This meant there was one possible reason for the extra oxygen.
There had to be water there.

The crew of the U.S.S. Enterprise are looking into mysterious energy drains from power stations.
They find an alien artifact, which begins to draw power from the ship.
They destroy the artifact to save themselves, just after Spock (played by Todd Haberkorn) detects two life forms on it.
The two forms then materialize on the bridge.
one of them is the alien known in Earth's history as the Greek god Apollo (played by Michael Forest).
The crew had met him only a couple of years earlier, but he has now aged.
He says he was exposed to the energy draining properties of the Realm.
This was the destroyed structure.
It was built by his race to live in forever.
It had malfunctioned and killed all the others of his race.
He says he no longer wishes to have people worship him again.
After a brief stay in the sick-bay, He starts to want people to idolize him for his singing and storytelling.
Captain Kirk (played by Vic Mignogna) demands to speak with him about his behaviors.
Apollo uses his telekinetic powers on the captain and others to make them worship him.
Meanwhile, the remains of the Realm are still causing difficulties.
A crew member dies while he and Sulu (played by Grant Imahara of Mythbusters) are removing debris from the hull of the Enterprise.
Unlike other Star Trek fan productions, "Pilgrim" had a lead crew made up of film industry professionals.
The creators attempted to recreate the style of the original series, in its sets, cinematography, costumes, and acting and storytelling style.
They duplicated the dramatic pauses as used in the original, prior to commercial breaks.
They primarily used the original series' incidental music, as well as the original theme song and iconic credit typography.
They filmed in 4:3 aspect ratio to duplicate the original series' TV format.

An alternator is a generator which converts mechanical energy to electrical energy in the form of alternating current.
There is one in every car, with the exception of older cars that use a DC generator.
Most alternators use a rotating magnetic field with a stationary armature.
The armature reacts to the rotating field and carries the current caused by the rotation.
An alternator that uses a permanent magnet for its magnetic field is called a magneto.
Alternating current generating systems were known from the discovery of the magnetic induction of electric current.
The early machines were developed by pioneers such as Michael Faraday and Hippolyte Pixii.
Capacitance is the ability of a body to store electric charge.
A common device to do such task is a capacitor.
The SI unit for capacitance is farad.

Herman Kahn (February 15, 1922 – July 7, 1983) was one of the preeminent futurists of the second half of the twentieth century.
His theories helped to develop the nuclear strategy of the United States.
Kahn, a man of "captivating personality and large intellectual gifts", worked for the RAND Corporation, Santa Monica, California, as a military strategist (19481958).
He was a founder of the Hudson Institute think tank.
This gives ideas and consultations for the U.S. government and military chiefs, and for business clients.
He was known for analyzing the likely consequences of nuclear war and recommending ways to improve survivability.
His key idea was that the threat of nuclear war could be controlled by the use of carefully graded deterrence.
In order to get his ideas across he ran two-day seminars which included role-playing in various scenarios.
His ideas, when published in On Thermonuclear War, caused a sensation.
"At the minimum, an adequate deterrent for the United States must ... persuade [the Soviets] that, no matter how skillful or ingenious they were, an attack on the United States would lead to a very high risk if not certainty of large-scale destruction to Soviet civil society and military forces".
However, responses must be proportionate, because if one threatened all-out war as a response for some rather modest misbehaviour, then the threat was simply not believable, and would not work.
The need to think things through in detail was the topic of his second book, Thinking about the Unthinkable.
Kahn was less successful later in his career when he turned his attention to general economics and politics.
His ideas on Japan seemed good at the time, but now seem to be not quite right.
He predicted that Japan would become the world's third superstate and a military superpower.
This he based on Japan's record after 1946, which was spectacular, with quality production and undercutting markets in the older economies.
As it turned out, Japan's economy stalled in the 1980s, and has never recovered its previous growth rate.
The role he predicted for Japan is now filled by China, a country with a huge reserve of poorly-paid workers and significant military forces.
However, Japan has the second largest economy in the region, and now has good relations with the U.S.A.

An enhanced geothermal system (EGS) is a geothermal energy system that can make electrical energy when natural underground water is not there.
For a long time, geothermal energy could only be produced when there were hot rocks, underground water, and cracks in rocks all together in one area.
Now, new ways of getting power from this source, are being created.
Areas that can possibly be used for energy need to be altered by people to make the energy usable.
These areas may need either underground water and/or cracks, or fracture network, in rocks.
Enhanced geothermal systems allow for geothermal energy to be outside normal geothermal areas like active plate boundaries to less active areas like the western United States.
Land must be surveyed
what is the [temperature] of underground rocks?
is there a good fracture network?
is there water that is naturally there?
what is needed to make a working EGS
Make Needed Changes to System
In order to first get to the hot rocks, holes must be carefully dug 1000’s of meters below the surface of the earth.
The wells cannot be within 40 meters of each other so there is no heat stealing between wells.
Water is then poured down the holes at a controlled, scientifically determined rate for both fracture network creation and use in the energy production.
Cracks or fractures are created by fracking or the forced reopening of cracks due to water pressure causing small seismic events rarely felt on the surface.
Once a good enough crack system is created, the heated water can then be pumped out from a production well and into the power plant to be using in the chosen energy extraction process and circulated through again.
In order to increase the likeliness that the water will flow in the direction of the production well, microholes arrays can be drilled to allow for a higher probability that fractures will connect in the right pathway for energy production.
These holes are less than 4 inches wide and reach out from water adding wells and water taking out wells.
Operate and Maintain Power Plant
Old Well Recycling
Geothermal systems can also be enhanced by recycling old oil and gas wells for geothermal use.
It is cheaper to change these wells for heat mining than to drill new holes.
These wells do not allow for physical contact between the water and the heat source.
These wells are made out of two cylinders: a bigger one and a smaller one.
The smaller one fits inside the bigger one and is where the heated water is pumped out from.
Water in inserted between the lining of the inner pipe and the outer one.
Due to the lack in direct contact with the hot rocks as well as some heat loss from lack of a good insulating material, the energy output is not as high as in ordinary geothermal systems.
Green House Gas Emissions
Some say that this form of energy is one of the “greenest” alternative energies out there.
Studies that say two of the three ways of geothermal energy production is flash-steam and dry-steam give off less than 7% of the green house gasses that fossil fuels give off.
The third method, known as a closed binary-cycle system, gives off nearly zero green house gasses.)
The most emission heavy part of EGS is when the drills are powered by diesel fuel.
