The outcrop has to have an acceptable thickness
Sedimentation has to be constant without any changes in facies
The outcrop should not be affected by tectonic and sedimentary movements, and metamorphism
The outcrop has to be accessible to research and free to access.
This includes that the outcrop has to be located where it can be visited quickly (International airport and good roads), has to be kept in good condition (Ideally a national reserve), in accessible terrain, extensive enough to allow repeated sampling and open to researchers of all nationalities.
Global Standard Stratigraphic Age (GSSAs)
Because defining a GSSP depends on finding well-preserved geologic sections and identifying key events, this task becomes more harder as one goes farther back in time.
Before 640 million years ago, boundaries on the geologic timescale are defined simply by reference to fixed dates, known as "Global Standard Stratigraphic Ages".
The oldest GSSP is the one that marks the start of the Ediacaran at 635 million years ago.
Neurodiversity is a word for differences in people's brains.
It is a type of biodiversity (diversity in living creatures).
The neurodiversity movement is an approach to mental disability in which some neurological conditions are variations of the human genome.
The term was first used in the late 1990s as a challenge to the idea that neurological differences are disorders instead of features.
The movement believes that these variations should be recognised as a social category along with gender, human race and sexual orientation.
Some people claim that neurodiversity would not be good for individuals with severe disabilities, such as low-functioning autism.
They state that the difficulties are far greater than any potential strengths.

In physics, a gravitational field is a model used to explain the influence that a massive body has.
The influence extends into the space around itself, producing a force on another massive body.
Thus, a gravitational field is used to explain gravitational phenomena (effects).
It is measured in newtons per kilogram (N/kg).
In the original Newtonian concept, gravity was a force between point masses.
Following Newton, Laplace attempted to model gravity as some kind of radiation field or fluid.
Since the 19th century explanations for gravity have in terms of a field model, rather than a point attraction.
This revolution was brought about by Einstein's general theory of relativity.
Most scientists believe that the gravitational field and its gravitational waves are the physical interpretations of Einstein's equations of general relativity.
In a field model, rather than two particles attracting each other, the mass of objects distort spacetime.
This distortion is what is perceived and measured as a "force".
In such a model matter moves in certain ways in response to the curvature of spacetime.
One can say either there is no gravitational force, or that gravity is a fictitious force.

Asparagus officinalis is a perennial from the genus Asparagus of the Asparagaceae family.
It is commonly grown as a vegetable, eaten in spring.
When people talk about Asparagus as a vegetable, they usually mean this plant.
It was once classified in the lily family, like its Allium cousins, onions and garlic, but the Liliaceae have been split and the onion-like plants are now in the family Amaryllidaceae and asparagus in the Asparagaceae.
Asparagus officinalis is native to most of Europe, northern Africa and western Asia,<ref
name=fe></ref><ref
name=empp></ref><ref
name=grin></ref> A. officinalis is widely cultivated as a vegetable crop.
Allium is a genus of flowering plants.
It contains garlic, leek,  onions and chives.
There are hundreds of species, some of which have been cultivated for much of human history.
Today, about a dozen species are economically important.
The type species of the genus is Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic.
The taxonomy of Allium is difficult, because the boundaries between species are often unclear.
For this reason, the number of recognised species varies between 260, and 860.
Most people think there are about 750 species.

Environmental economics is a domain of economics that looks at problems of the environment from an economical perspective.
Natural resources, such as clean water are  limited, because of pollution.
They are also seen as free public goods.
This means that if there are no rules on how to use these goods, they will be used too much.
There are externalities for using these goods, and there is the problem of free riders.
In this perspective, the solution is to convert these resources into economic goods, which are integrated in the market.
This will lessen the problem of free-riding, and give incentives to use these goods sparingly.
An example for this is a  tax which is tied to pollution.
Proper legislation and observation of property right  on how to regulate the use of these public goods is also another important factor in ensuring that market inefficiencies don't result.
Katherine Patricia "Kate" Flannery (born June 10, 1964) is an American actress.
She played Meredith Palmer in the NBC sitcom The Office.
Flannery was born in Philadelphia.
In economics, the term free rider refers to someone who benefits from resources, goods, or services without paying for the cost of the benefit.
The term "free rider" was first used in economic theory of public goods, but similar concepts have been applied in to other contexts, such as collective bargaining, antitrust law, psychology and political science.
Free riding may be considered as a free rider problem when it leads to under-provision of goods or services, or when it leads to overuse or degradation of a common property resource.
Although the term originated in economic theory, similar concepts have been cited in political science, social psychology, and other disciplines.
Some individuals in a team or community may reduce their contributions or performance if they believe that one or more other members of the group may free ride.
The Gauss-Bonnet theorem is a theorem that connects the geometry of a shape with its topology.
It is named after the two mathematicians Carl Friedrich Gauß (1777-1855) and Pierre Ossian Bonnet (1812-1872) who both found it, independently of one another.
The Curvature of the shape is used, as well as its Euler characteristic.
Relations between Bangladesh and Russia.
Russia has an embassy in Dhaka and Bangladesh has an embassy in Moscow.
Diplomatic relations were established on 25 January 1972, when Russia was the Soviet Union.
Bangladeshi Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina has visited Russia twice to meet with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
The first time was in 2009 and then in 2013.
Soviet-era relations
Relations between the Soviet Union and Bangladesh were good in the years immediately after Bangladesh's independence in 1971.
The Soviet Union supported Indian actions in aiding the war of liberation, and after the war the Soviet Navy sent a floating workshop to Bangladesh for clearing Pakistani mines from the Chittagong and Chalna harbors.
Mujib visited Moscow in 1972, and high-level officials from both countries made numerous reciprocal visits until 1975.
The Soviets supported the socialist programs of the Mujib government and its very exceptionally close ties with India.
Early Soviet aid was limited, however.
During the first four months of its existence, Bangladesh received economic aid worth US$142 million from India, but only US$6 million from the Soviet Union.
It also believed that the Communist Party of Bangladesh was funded and supported in the erstwhile volatile region of the former East Pakistan since then it was part of a United Pakistan itself allied with the United States and the China which were hostile towards rival Soviet Union, the party itself was based on the idealogical principals of Marxism.
Bangladeshi-Soviet relations rapidly improved in 1984 and regained a level of cordiality in the mid- and late 1980s.
In 1985 the Soviet Cultural Centre reopened in Dhaka.
In 1986 a Soviet special envoy visited Dhaka, and later the Bangladeshi foreign minister visited Moscow.
Although Soviet aid to Bangladesh was still small compared with assistance from Japan, the United States, or even China, by 1987 Bangladesh had entered into sixteen different economic accords with the Soviet Union.
Soviet assistance has concentrated on the energy sector, especially several power plants at Ghorasal, near Dhaka.

The White Guard () is a novel by 20th century Russian writer Mikhail Bulgakov, whose later work The Master and Margarita brought him posthumous fame.
The White Guard first appeared in serial form in the Soviet-era literary journal Rossiya in 1925, but the magazine was closed down before the serial was completed.
It was not reprinted in Russia until 1966.
The Day of the Turbins
After the first two parts of The White Guard were published in Rossiya, Bulgakov was invited to write a version for the stage.
He called the play The Days of the Turbins.
This was produced at the Moscow Art Theatre, to great acclaim:
"The Day of the Turbins... became a theater legend... The production ran from 1926 to 1941, it had 987 performances... Stalin... saw it no fewer than 20 times".
Since Bulgakov was refused permission to publish his most important works, he pleaded with Stalin to be allowed to leave the country.
Stalin personally arranged for a job for him at the Moscow Arts Theatre.
Bulgakov was still writing and re-writing his uncompleted novel, The Master And Margarita, when he died in 1940.
His widow had The White Guard published in large part in the literary journal Moskva in 1966, at the end of the Krushchev era.
This was the basis for the English translation by Michael Glenny  published in 1971 (New York: McGraw-Hill; London: Collins; reissued 2005 by Academy Chicago Publishers.
In 2008 Yale University Press published a translation by Marian Schwartz of the complete novel, an edition which won an award.
Set in the Ukraine, beginning in late 1918, the novel concerns the fate of the Turbin family as the various armies of the Russian Civil War  the Whites, the Reds, the Imperial German Army, and Ukrainian nationalists – fight over the city of Kiev.
Historical figures such as Petlyura and Pavlo Skoropadsky appear as the Turbin family is caught up in the effects of the October Revolution.
translated by Michael Glenny, London, HarperCollins/Havill, 1971; New York: McGraw-Hill 1971; London, Fontana 1973;
translated by Marian Schwartz, Introduction  by Dobrenko, Evgeny: Yale University Press, 2008.
ISBN 978-0-300-15145-9
Autobiographical elements
The novel contains many autobiographical elements.
Bulgakov gave the younger Turbin brother some of the characteristics of his own younger brother.
The description of the house of the Turbins is that of the house of the Bulgakov family in Kiev. (
Today it is preserved and operated as the Mikhail Bulgakov Museum).

Dora Baltea or Doire Baltée ( or Duria Bautica; Valdôtain dialect: Djouire; Piemontes: Deura Bàotia), is a river in northern Italy.
It is a left-hand tributary of the Po River, and is about  long.
Dora Baltea is formed on the Mont Blanc massif by the confluence, near Entrèves, of two small rivers: Dora di Ferret, that comes from the Pré de Bar Glacier in Val Ferret; and Dora di Veny, that comes from the Miage Glacier in Val Veny.
As it crosses the Aosta Valley, the Dora Baltea flows through the city of Aosta (where the Buthier, a small river, runs into it) and near all the main cities of the lower Aosta Valley: Châtillon, Saint-Vincent, Verrès and Pont-Saint-Martin.
After it enters the Piedmont region, it passes through the city of Ivrea and a good part of Canavese, gets from its right hand the waters of the Chiusella and reaches the Po at Crescentino.

The Blohm & Voss Bv 142 was a German reconnaissance aircraft of World War II.
Its maiden flight was in October 1938.
It was built at the beginning like an airliner.
But just one was used by Lufthansa.
The others were used by Luftwaffe for far reconnaissance.
Fragile and unwieldy, it was stopped in 1942, just two years after it commissioned.
Only four examples were built.
The Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction (often shortened to BZR or BZ) is an example of a chemical oscillator.
It is often used to illustrate a chaotic system.
The BZR is made of several chemical reactions, that occur in sequence.
It shows chemical oscillation, which is unusual for chemical reactions.
At first it was thought to be a measurement error, or an artifact.
It was thought that according to the Second law of thermodynamics, this should not occur.
According to this law, a system that is in an unordered state will not assume an ordered state on its own, that is without the provision of energy.
However, this is only applicable in a closed system, and does not apply to the BZ reaction.
The reactions are theoretically important because they show that chemical reactions do not have to be dominated by  equilibrium thermodynamic behavior.
These reactions are far from equilibrium and remain so for a significant length of time.
In this sense, they provide an interesting chemical model of nonequilibrium biological phenomena.
The mathematical models of the BZ reactions themselves are of theoretical interest.
An essential aspect of the BZ reaction is called"excitability": under the influence of stimuli, patterns develop in what would otherwise be a perfectly calm medium.
Some clock reactions such as Briggs–Rauscher and BZ using the tris(bipyridine)ruthenium(II) chloride as catalyst can be made to show self-organising activity through the influence of light.
Similar processes were already known in the 19th century.
Wilhelm Ostwald gave a detailed account in 1899 and 1900, describing the oscillations of Chrome in Hydrochloric acid and of iron in Nitric acid.
Boris Pavlovich Belousov accidentally discovered the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction in the 1950s.
His research focused on systems which were far away from an equilibrium state, the Belousov–Zhabotinsky reaction was included.
Beloussow was awarded the Lenin Prize in 1980, after his death.
The Lenin prize was the highest distinction for scientific achievement in the Soviet Union.
The Siebel Si 204 was a World War II-era German light transport aircraft built by Siebel.

Siebel Si 204 was a twin-engine monoplane that can carry about ten passengers.
Major user were the Luftwaffe.
The PZL TS-8 is a Polish military training aircraft built between 1957 and 1959.
It was used by the Polish air force until 1978.
It was sold to just one other air force in the world, Indonesia, and only 250 models were built.
It was a single engine monoplane that can carry a crew of two peoples, trainer and student.

Samuel Fuller (1580 - 1633) was a passenger on the 1620 voyage of the Pilgrim ship Mayflower and singed the Mayflower Compact.
He became a respected church deacon and the physician for Plymouth Colony.
Fuller was a son of Robert Fuller, a butcher.
He was baptized on January 20, 1580 at Redenhall, co. Norfolk, England.
He was a member of the Separatist religion which was not allowed in England.
In 1610, Fuller moved to Leiden, Netherlands.
He was a friend of Degory Priest and Sarah Allerton.
Sarah was the sister of Isaac Allerton.
Fuller was an active church congregation member.
In Leiden records Fuller was referred to as “a serge worker of London.”
Samuel Fuller helped to plan for the Separatists to move to the Colony of Virginia.
They made an agreement with the Virginia Company.
Fuller, along with Edward Winslow, William Bradford and Isaac Allerton, sent a letter on June 10, 1620 to John Carver and Robert Cushman.
These men were in London and were also making plans for the voyage.
They learned that Thomas Weston and the Company had changed the agreement.
One of the changes was that the merchants would keep half of the houses and lands.
The pilgrims would also have one day off from work per week.
These problems were not solved until Robert Cushman arrived in the Fortune in November 1621.
Samuel Fuller learned about medicine before he traveled to the New World so that he could help the others if needed.
There would be no doctor on the Mayflower or at Plymouth Colony.
Samuel Fuller boarded the Mayflower with only his servant William Butten, leaving his wife behind in Leiden until he could get settled.
William Butten died before the Mayflower landed.
They landed on 21 November and wrote the Mayflower Compact, which made rules on how they would live and treat each other.
The Mayflower was supposed to land in the Colony of Virginia, but the ship was damaged and they were forced to land at Cape Cod now called Provincetown Harbor.
Samuel's wife came on the ship Anne and in a few years Samuel would receive two acres of Land.
His wife Bridget received one acre of land near a pond.
In 1627, Samuel and his wife received several livestock for their farm.
In 1629, a group of people arrived led by John Endicott.
They became sick and Fuller was sent to assist them.
Endicott sent a letter of thanks to William Bradford.
He also helped people at Charleston when they were sick.
Not everyone thought Fuller was a good doctor.
In 1637, Thomas Morton, wrote a letter calling Fuller a quacksalver which is where the word "quack" comes from.
In the summer of 1633, Fuller fell ill with a sickness that had spread through Plymouth.
Author Nathaniel Morton wrote about Samuel Fuller’s in his 1669 New England’s Memorial.
He praised Fuller and his work.
Fuller was married two times.
He married Sarah Dunthorne who died in England in 1584.
His second wife was Bridget Lee who died in 1667.
He and Bridget had four children: Mercy and Samuel, Jr., unknown female and Elizabeth.
Samuel Fuller made out his will in 1633.
He said he was sick and weak.
Samuel Fuller died in 1633.

The Airbus A300 is a jet airliner which was made by Airbus.
Airbus Industries launched the plane in 1972, and it was the first plane with two engines to have more than one aisle between the seats (the first twin-engined wide-body aircraft).
The A300 can hold 266 passengers in two classes.
It can fly for a maximum of  when it is full, but this depends on the type of A300.
Air France was the first airline to get an A300.
Air France began to use its A300s on 30 May 1974.
Airbus stopped making A300s in July 2007.
When Airbus stopped making A300s, it also stopped making A310s.
The freighter version of the A300 has been replaced by the A330-200F.
In 1966, Frank Kolk, a member of American Airlines, asked for a plane to replace the Boeing 727.
He wanted a plane which could hold 250 to 300 passengers, with two engines.
