Sequoyah was a Cherokee man.
He invented a syllabary (alphabet based on syllables) for his people.
Before that, they did not have an alphabet for their language.
Sequoyah was born into the Cherokee Nation.
His mother was Wut-teh.
Not many people know about his early childhood.
There are different stories on what happened.
Making the syllabary
Sequoyah met many white people.
He was fascinated by their "talking leaves," which was their writing system on paper.
He wanted to make an alphabet for Cherokees to communicate too.
He began making it around 1809.
First he tried to make a symbol for every word, like in Chinese.
That required too much remembering.
Then he tried to make one for every idea, but gave up.
Finally he made one symbol for every syllable in the Cherokee language.
He made a syllabary with 86 letters.
Many of the letters look like English because he had an English book that he could not read.
He taught the syllabary to his daughter, Ayokeh (Ayoka).
Then he tested it in front of a group of leaders.
They said a word, he wrote it down, and then Ayokeh repeated them.
Originally people thought it was witchcraft, but then they started liking his syllabary.
Many Cherokee learned it and eventually became literate, which means they could read and write.
In fact, more Cherokees could read and write better than nearby white people.
Sequoyah became a hero for giving Cherokee people a written language.
Cherokee is still taught and used.
There are now 85 symbols, instead of the original 86.

In the 1960s, Bridget Riley became one of the world's best-known op artists.

Jesús Rafael Soto used mobile elements, so connecting op art with kinetic (moving) structures.

The famous Dutch artist M.C. Escher drew impossible structures which worked by using visual illusions.
The art historian Ernst Gombrich wrote a detailed study on visual effects in art.
The psychologist Richard Gregory spent much of his career studying why the mind saw illusions.

When a dog attacks and bites a human this is generally known as dog attack.
Dogs have been among the first animals to be domesticated and have lived with humans for a long time.
Dog attacks are common in daily life.
The biting dog causes an injury, which may be serious, and may lead to death.
In addition to the bite wound, the dog may transmit diseases through the bite; one example for a disease transmitted through biting is rabies.
If a dog feels threatened, it will protect itself, and its companions
Dogs are possessive: Removing something the dog considers its possession (such as food or water) may trigger an attack.
Dogs are territorial: Entering the territory of a dog may trigger an attack
Since dogs have lived with humans for a long time, they are good at interpreting body language.
If this body language is threatening, the dog may react accordingly.
Dogs have many of the hunting behaviors wolves have: If they consider something to be prey, they may hunt it.
Trained dogs may attack without warning
Maria Cristina National High School is a public high school in the Philippines.
It opened in 1972.
The school’s mission statement describes its main goals.
To provide a good education to its students
To teach students to be responsible people who contribute to their communities
To teach students patriotism and nationalism
To help students develop good morals and discipline
To promote progress in technology
To teach students how to work efficiently
When it first opened, Maria Cristina National High School was called Maria Cristina Barangay High School.
It was also called a Barrio High School.
A law called Republic Act 6050 (RA 6050) created the school.
People living in Barangay Maria Cristina signed a petition asking the government to create a high school there.
After the government agreed, Maria Cristina Barangay High School opened in June of 1972.
It had 183 students and 5 teachers.
There were two sections of first-year students and one section of second-year students.
At first, the new high school did not have its own building.
Most classes were held at the barangay hall.
Two classes were also held at the local elementary school.
As more students came to Maria Cristina Barangay High School, a temporary classroom made of bricks was built.
The school also hired more teachers.
The national government paid for most of the school’s costs.
The local school board also paid for some costs.
As the school continued to grow, it needed its own building.
A new school was built on a 3-hectare lot owned by the National Power Corporation.
The National Power Corporation was not using a part of this lot.
The National Transmission Corporation (TRANSCO) and the Local School Board of Iligan City Division agreed to allow Maria Cristina National High School to use that part of the lot to build a new school.
The goal of this new building was to make it possible for Maria Cristina National High School to keep growing.
At first, in 2004, the new school had only two buildings with six classrooms, so only fourth-year students were able to use it.
Now, the new building is big enough for all of the school’s students.
The school now has 17 sections of students, 26 teachers, and 40 sets of computers.

When a scientific experiment is done properly, it will give a measurable result.
At each moment, the system (experiment) will be in one of several possible states.
At the end, the experiment will be in a final state.
At each point in time, the state of the system can be  measured.
Experiments done in quantum mechanics work the same way.
The difference to classical mechanics is that at each point in time, several states are superposed (overlapping) to describe the state the experiment is in.
These states are called eigenstates.
In the same way as with classical mechanics, if a measurement is done, there is a single result.
This result is the eigenvalue of one of the eigenstates.
This means that measurement will reduce the several possible states to a single state by adding them together.
After the measurement, the system will be in the state that was measured.
In the Copenhagen interpretation, this reduction is known as wavefunction collapse.
Collapse is one of two processes by which quantum systems evolve in time.
The other is continuous evolution via the Schrödinger equation.
Werner Heisenberg was among the first to explain this situation, in a paper published in 1927.
This result is controversial.
Erwin Schrödinger used the thought experiment Schrödinger's cat to show this controversy.
The Gulf of Naples (Italian: Golfo di Napoli) is on the south-western coast of Italy.
Also called the Bay of Naples, it is a c. gulf in the  province of Naples, Campania region.

A null vector is a special vector, which is the identity element for the addition of vectors, in a given vector space.
As an example, the null vector of n-dimensional coordinate space is a vector whose components are all 0.
It is often denoted by the symbol  (which distinguishes it from the number ).
Null vectors are used to define key concepts of linear algebra, such as linear independence, basis and kernel.
They are used to solve linear equations as well.

NGC 2207 and IC 2163 are a pair of colliding spiral galaxies about 80 million light-years away in the constellation Canis Major.
Both galaxies were discovered by John Herschel in 1835.
Merging galaxies
NGC 2207 is in the process of colliding and merging with IC 2163.
But unlike the Antennae or the Mice galaxies, they are still two separate spiral galaxies.
They are only in the first step of colliding and merging.
Soon they will collide, probably looking a bit more like the Mice Galaxies.
In about a billion years time they are expected to merge and become an elliptical galaxy.
The Battle of Yellow Tavern was part of the Overland Campaign of the American Civil War.
It was fought on May 11, 1864 in Henrico County, Virginia.

Sheridan started his raid on May 9.
Stuart started after him right away.
On May 11, they fought on May 11 at Yellow Tavern, six miles north of Richmond.
The Confederates defeated several Union attacks.
