A nitro compound is a molecule that has the nitro group.
The nitro group is made of one nitrogen atom connected with two oxygen atoms (-NO2).
The nitrogen is also bonded to the rest of the molecule.
Nitrogen normally has only three bonds.
In a nitro group, the bond is considered positively charged.
Then one bond of the oxygen is negatively charged, and the other has a double bond.
In reality, the best way to represent the nitro group is to consider it to have delocalized electrons.
Then all three atoms are sp2 hybridised.
Nitro compounds are very explosive.
This is because, at high temperature, nitro compounds can decompose and release nitrogen gas.
This reaction is very exothermic (gives out a lot of energy).
Many explosives have nitro groups, for example trinitrotoluene (TNT).
Smuggling means illegal transport of goods, objects substances or information across state, national or international borders.

André Le Nôtre (12 March 1613 – 15 September 1700) was a French landscape architect and gardener serving King Louis XVI of France.
He designed and constructed the formal gardens at the Palace of Versailles.
Other gardens and parks in France he designed include those of Vaux-le-Vicomte, Chantilly, Fontainebleau, Saint-Cloud, Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and the Tuileries.
Le Notre's style of garden design was widely imitated in Europe, but without his taste and sound professional judgement.
In the 18th century, his designs at Versailles influenced the master plan for Washington, D.C.

Eric grew up in San Bernardino in California.
He started to skateboard in 1986 at the age of 11 years old when his brother gave him his old skateboard.

There was a tram system in Biel, Switzerland, from 1877 to 1948.
As the idea of having trams was not popular, there was only one route from Bözingen to Nidau.
The tram was originally a horse carriage on rails.
There were only a few carriages from other tram systems.
Although it was very small there were summer and winter carriages.
After Biel City bought the system in 1901, it became electrical with more carriages and a bigger route.
The tram was not very popular and the owner did not earn much money.
This was the reason why only very few routes were built.
All the four routes started at the train station in Biel, today known as ‘Zentralplatz’.
The tram to Meinisberg went through Mett but because there was a big distance between Biel and Meinisberg, there were only a few stations.
Biel City started to reduced the system in 1930.
First, route 1 and 2 became route 1.
Then, in 1940, routes 2 and 3 were replaced by buses and finally, route 1 became a bus route, too.
Biel has a well-organized bus system since 1948.
It grew more and more and is quite large, with over 15 different routes today.
Some of them use the old tram routes but more were added, especially in the last 20 years.
There are also different bus types today.
Some are electrical, others run on fuel.

Italophilia is the admiration, general appreciation or love of Italy, its culture, society, arts and people.
It is often related to the emulation of Italy's ideals and civilization.
Actually one of the main reasons of Italophilia in the world is that Italy is home to more World Heritage Sites than any other nation in the world.
These sites are culturally important and value according to UNESCO.
Indeed about 60% of the works of art of the world are in Italy.
Another reason is the worlwide appreciation for Italian culinary and foods.
In 2005 it made over 5 million tonnes, and many italian wines are very famous in the world, like the "Chianti".

Organolithium compounds contain a direct bond between a carbon atom and a lithium atom.
They are an important class of organometallic compound.
The bonding between the carbon and lithium is highly polar due to the difference in electronegativity between these atoms, which effectively makes the carbon negatively charged and capable of acting as a strong base or nucleophile.
These compounds are similar to Grignard reagents, but are much more reactive.
Organolithium reagents such as butyllithium are widely commercially available.
Due to their highly reactive nature, they must be handled under a protective atmosphere such as nitrogen or argon as they will catch fire in air.
The Braderie (, ) is a festival celebrated every year in Biel, Switzerland at the end of June.
In 2013, the festival will start on 28 June and end on 30 June.
The main part of the festival takes place between the train station Biel and the Nidaugasse.
There are over 100 stalls every year, which sell different things.
The shops in Biel usually do their sales in this week, because many people are in the streets during the festival.
A stage is set up in the front of the Apollo Cinema.
Bands and singers present their music on this stage.
The Braderie is known for a lot of famous Swiss stars, for example, Stress, DJ Antoine and Pegasus.
The Braderie began in 1936.
Since 1930 and the big economic crisis, the people of Biel were searching for a way to improve the economy of Biel.
The festival was started by Miggi Tièche and Carlo Schneeberger.
The first Braderie was a big success.
Originally known simply as a solution for the crisis, the Braderie began to be a part of Biel's calendar.
There were three Braderies between 1937 and 1939.
During World War II, they had to stop the Braderie.
The break ended only in 1947, and then the Braderie started again, and it was known as "Bieler Sommerfest" (Biel Summer Celebration).
Because of the long history from the Braderie, it is common today for most of the stores in Biel to make their sales during the Braderie.

In 1894, they removed Queen Liliʻuokalani as queen.
The United States set up a provisional government.
It became the Republic of Hawaii.
The Hawaiian people were on the side of their Queen.

She refused, but then changed her mind and agreed.
She was denied her reinstatement by the Provisional Government.
On July 4, 1894, the Republic of Hawaii began.
Liliʻuokalani died on November 11, 1917 following a stroke.

Look and meaning
A Zirkel consists of interwined lines, mostly followed by an exclamation mark.
The lines mostly show the first letters of the name of the Studentenverbindung and/or the letters v, c, f or e, f, v.
Vivant fratres coniuncti ("the joined brothers should live") or
Vivat circulus fratrum ("the circle of brothers should live") or
Vivat, crescat, floreat ("live, grow, flourish").
Ehre, Freiheit, Vaterland ("Honour, Freedom, Fatherland").
The members of the Studentenverbindung use the Zirkel as sign on Couleur or other things (such as beer glasses, etc).
If a member signs in affairs of its Studentenverbindung it places the Zirkel after its signature.
This use is similar to the use of postnominals in Anglo-Saxon countries.

Felipe de Jesús Calderón Hinojosa Nick name Comandante Borolas  (born August 18, 1962) is a Mexican politician.
He was President of Mexico from 1 December 2006 to 30 November 2012.
He is a member of the Partido Acción Nacional (PAN), one of the three major Mexican political parties.
Calderón was born on August 18, 1962 in Morelia, Mexico.
He studied at Free School of Law, at Autonomous Technological Institute of Mexico, and at Harvard University.
Calderón has been married to Margarita Zavala since 1993.
She ran for president in the 2018 election, but dropped out of the race.
Personal background[edit]
Felipe Calderón was born in Morelia, Michoacán, Mexico on August 18, 1962.
He is the youngest of five brothers and son of Carmen Hinojosa Calderón and the late Luis Calderón Vega.
His father was a co-founder of the National Action Party and an important political figure.
The elder Calderón occupied state posts and served a term as federal deputy.
He spent most of his life working within the party and spent most of his free time promoting the PAN.
The young Calderón was active in his father's campaigns.
As a boy, he distributed party pamphlets and flyers, rode PAN campaign vehicles and chanted slogans at rallies.
After growing up in Morelia, Calderón moved to Mexico City, where he received a bachelor's degree in law from the Escuela Libre de Derecho.
Later, he received a master's degree in economics from the Instituto Tecnológico Autónomo de México (ITAM) and a Master of Public Administration degree in 2000 from the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University.
Following his father's example, he joined the PAN, with the desire of one day becoming Mexico's president.
It was in the National Action Party that Calderón met his wife, Margarita Zavala, who served in Congress as a federal deputy.
They have three children, María, Luis Felipe and Juan Pablo.
To demands for detailed revelation of his personal positions on abortion, Calderón responded that he voted for life.
Calderón's administration sought to maintain moderate positions on social policy and supported Mexican legislation guaranteeing abortion for rape victims, when pregnancy endangers a woman's life or in cases of severe fetal deformity; has publicly advocated the legalization of small quantities of cocaine and other drugs for addicts who agree to undergo treatment; and has approved a right-to-die initiative for ill patients to refuse invasive treatment or extraordinary efforts to prolong their lives.
As for his economic policies, he supports balanced fiscal policies, flat taxes, lower taxes, and free trade.
He was a local representative in the Legislative Assembly and, on two different occasions, in the federal Chamber of Deputies.
He ran for the governorship of Michoacán in 1995 and served as national president of the PAN from 1996 to 1999.
During his tenure, his party maintained control of 14 state capitals, but also faced a reduced presence in the federal Chamber of Deputies.
Soon after Vicente Fox took office as president, Calderón was appointed director of Banobras, a state-owned development bank.
He was accused by political opponents of committing abuse, disputing use of certain legal procedures to finance property valued between three and five million Mexican pesos (between US$300,000 and $500,000); however, once political objections arose, he used other means to formalize his transaction.
He joined the presidential cabinet as Secretary of Energy, replacing Ernesto Martens.
He left the post in May 2004 in protest of Vicente Fox's criticism of his presidential ambitions while supporting those of Santiago Creel.
2006 presidential campaign
Members of his party chose him as the PAN presidential candidate.
In a series of three primary elections, he defeated the favored former Secretary of the Interior under President Vicente Fox, and thus the election of Calderón as party candidate surprised many analysts.
The PAN pointed to his competitive primary election as a sign of internal democracy.
In other major parties, there was one candidate or all strong candidates but one were eliminated.
Calderón's campaign gained momentum after the first presidential debate.
Subsequent poll numbers put him ahead of López Obrador from March to May; some polls favored him by as much as 9 percentage points.
This trend in his favor was contained after the second presidential debate when López Obrador decided to start joining the debates.
Final poll numbers days ahead of the results indicated that his opponent's prior lead had shrunk further; some polls gave López Obrador the lead, while others favored Calderón and still others indicated a technical tie.
Mexican Constitution states that the President must be inaugurated by taking the oath of office before Congress in the lower house, the Chamber of Deputies.
The PRD opposition had threatened to not allow Calderón to take the oath of office and be inaugurated as president.
Ahead of claims that the PRD would disrupt the precedings, the PAN took control of Congress's main floor three days before the inauguration was scheduled.
On November 30, 2006, outgoing President Vicente Fox Quesada and still President-elect Felipe Calderón Hinojosa stood side-by-side on national television as Fox turned over the presidential sash to a cadet, who handed it to Calderón.
Afterwards, Fox read a short speech indicating that he had concluded his mandate by receiving the flag "that had accompanied him during the last six years which he had devoted himself completely to the service of Mexico and had the utmost honor of being the president of the republic".
Calderón then made a speech to the Mexican public indicating that he would still attend the inauguration ceremony at the Chamber of Deputies.
He made a call to unity.
Calderón's inauguration ceremony on 1 December at the Congress of the Union was tense and lasted less than five minutes, as he barely managed to recite the oath of office while the PRD legislators shouted in protest against the alleged electoral fraud and attempted to impede his inauguration, and afterward he quickly left the building for security reasons as some of the legislators engaged in violent brawls.
Besides the claims of fraud, Calderón took office with the smallest percentage of votes for a winning presidential candidate in Mexican history (35.8%), which meant that his administration would face severe legitimacy problems.
Only a month after taking office, Calderón declared war on the drug cartels and organized crime, thus beginning the Mexican Drug War.
This was considered by many as an immediate strategy to gain popular legitimacy and acceptation for the new President after the convoluted elections.

The Ryūkyūan languages (Okinawan: 琉球口, Ruuchuuguchi) are a group of Japonic languages spoken in the Ryūkyū Islands, the southernmost part of Japan.
The languages are Amami, Kunigami, Okinawan, Miyako, Yaeyama and Yonaguni.
Although Japan says the Ryukyuan languages are dialects of Japanese, most linguists see them as languages.
This is because Japanese speakers would not be able to understand Ryukyuan without learning it.
When a group people called the Yayoi came to Japan, they brought over a language called Proto-Japonic.
This language diverged into Japanese and Ryukyuan overtime.
Japanese and Ryukyuan has different sound changes.
For example, Japanese “o” becomes Okinawan “u”.
This is why the Japanese word “to” (and) is “tu” in Okinawan.
It’s also common for Japanese “k” to become Okinawan “ch”.
This causes “Okinawa” to become “Uchinaa”.
In the Yonaguni language, Japanese “y” becomes “d”.
Japanese “yama” (mountain) is “dama” in Yonaguni.
Language Usage
Most older Ryukyuans can speak a Ryukyuan language, while younger people speak Japanese.
Ryukyuan languages are also spoken in Hawaii and South America as many Ryukyuans live there too.

A direct election is an election in which people vote directly for the person, persons or political party that they want to see elected to a political position.
The members of State Legislative Assembly, known as MLA's are directly elected by the people of the State.
The opposite is an indirect election, in which the voters elect a group of people who in turn elects the officeholder in question.
Many countries use a mixed system, where some elements are directly elected, and some are not.

There was a period in the 17th century, where Dutch trade, science and art were among the most advanced in Europe.
The period is known as the Dutch Golden Age.
In general, this period started in the second half of the Eighty Years' War.
After the war, there was the Dutch Republic which was the most propsperous nation in Europe.
The historical period of the time was called Baroque.
Many of the paintings of this period show the scenes more pretty than they really were.
This is called 'idealisation'.
The Dutch paintings of the time often lack this feature.
Artists of the movement include Peter Paul Rubens, Johannes Vermeer, Bartholomeus van der Helst, and Jacob van Loo.
There were relatively few paintings with religious themes during this period.
The reason for this was that most Dutch were Calvinist.
Calvinism forbade religious painting in churches.
Even though such subjects were acceptable in private homes, they were not very popular.
The other traditional classes of history and portrait painting were present, but the period is more notable for a huge variety of other genres, sub-divided into numerous specialized categories, such as scenes of peasant life, landscapes, townscapes, landscapes with animals, maritime paintings, flower paintings and still lifes of various types.
The development of many of these types of painting was decisively influenced by 17th-century Dutch artists.
There was a theory in painting, that some types of painting were  more prestigious than others.
This theory is known as hierarchy of genres.
Because history painting was at the top of the list, many painters wanted to produce historical paintings.
The problem with this was that historical paintings were the most difficult to sell.
To be able to live from their painting, many painters were forced to produce portraits or genre scenes, which sold much more easily.
The hierarchy was as follows:
history painting, including allegories and popular religious subjects.
Portrait painting, including the tronie
genre painting or scenes of everyday life
landscape, including seascapes, battlescenes, cityscapes, and ruins.
The Dutch concentrated heavily on the "lower" categories, but by no means rejected the concept of the hierarchy.
Most paintings were relatively small – the only common type of really large paintings were group portraits.
Painting directly onto walls hardly existed; when a wall-space in a public building needed decorating fitted framed canvas was normally used.
For the extra precision possible on a hard surface many painters continued to use wooden panels, some time after the rest of Western Europe had abandoned them; some used copper plates, usually recycling plates from printmaking.
In turn the number of surviving Golden Age paintings was reduced by them being overpainted with new works by artists throughout the 18th and 19th century – poor ones were usually cheaper than a new canvas, stretcher and frame.
There was very little Dutch sculpture during the period; it is mostly found in tomb monuments and attached to public buildings, and small sculptures for houses are a noticeable gap, their place taken by silverware and ceramics.
Painted delftware tiles were very cheap and common, if rarely of really high quality, but silver, especially in the auricular style, led Europe.
