The Emperor's New Groove is a 2000 American animated family movie.
It was made by Walt Disney Animation Studios released on December 15, 2000, and is the 40th motion picture produced by Disney.
The title refers to the fairy tale The Emperor's New Clothes by Hans Christian Andersen, but has little in common with the fairy tale.
The movie received an Academy Award nomination for Best Song for "My Funny Friend and Me" performed by Sting.
It lost against "Things Have Changed" by Bob Dylan from Wonder Boys.
A direct-to-video sequel, Kronk's New Groove, was released in December 2005.
There was also an animated television series, The Emperor's New School, in January 2006.
Kuzco (David Spade) is a selfish, bratty South American emperor, who lives the high life and punishes those who offend him.
He summons Pacha (John Goodman), the leader of a local village, and tells him he intends to build a lavish resort called Kuzcotopia for himself, destroying the village.
Pacha attempts to protest but is dismissed.
Meanwhile, Yzma (Eartha Kitt), Kuzco's aged adviser, who is angry about him firing her, decides to get revenge on the emperor so she can take over the throne.
She and her muscle-bound but dimwitted lackey Kronk (Patrick Warburton), organize a dinner for Kuzco, where they plan to poison him, but the plan goes awry when the emperor is transformed into a llama.
After knocking him unconscious, Yzma orders Kronk to dispose of Kuzco.
He does so and throws his unconscious body into a river, but has a change of heart, and saves him at the last second, accidentally losing him on Pacha's cart.
When he arrives at the village, Kuzco wakes up and orders Pacha to return him to the palace.
Pacha agrees, but only if he builds his resort somewhere else.
Kuzco refuses and, against Pacha's warnings, decides to travel back to the palace on his own, but ends up lost in the jungle where he is nearly killed by black panthers and is rescued by Pacha.
Meanwhile, Yzma seizes control of the empire, but when she learns Kuzco has survived, she and Kronk search for him.
Kuzco seemingly agrees with Pacha's demands, but during the journey to the palace, the two fight on a collapsing bridge when Kuzco reveals he still intends to destroy the village.
Working together, the two climb out of the valley, after the bridge collapses.
During their search, Yzma and Kronk end up in the jungle and take directions from Bucky, a squirrel who Kuzco had encountered earlier.
Kuzco and Pacha arrive at a roadside diner; unbeknown to them, Yzma and Kronk have followed them there.
While Kuzco complains to the chef, Pacha eavesdrops on Yzma's plan, and tries to warn Kuzco that she is planning to kill him; however, he refuses to listen, convinced that Yzma is loyal to him, and reveals that he plans to go back on his word and destroy Pacha's village.
When he overhears her planning to kill him due to his selfishness, he leaves the diner on his own and consigns himself to live out his life as a normal llama, before reuniting and reconciling with Pacha.
When the two return to his house to pick up supplies, they discover Yzma and Kronk have arrived, searching for them.
Pacha has his family distract Yzma and Kronk, giving him and Kuzco a head-start as they travel to the palace to find a potion to reverse the effects of the curse; however, they are ambushed by Yzma and Kronk, who somehow beat them to the palace.
When Yzma orders Kronk to kill the two, he is hesitant, prompting her to insult him and his cooking, prompting him to betray her, but she drops him down a trapdoor.
Yzma then summons the palace guards, who are transformed into animals, tricking them into thinking they murdered Kuzco, forcing the pair to flee with an armful of potions (Yzma intentionally knocked them to the floor as a means of preventing Kuzco and Pacha finding the right one), and during their pursuit, Kuzco is turned into various animals.
When the duo is cornered, Kuzco and Yzma struggle over the vials, crushing one and transforming Yzma into a cat.
Kuzco and Pacha team up to retrieve the potion, which Yzma snatches, but is knocked out by Kronk, who found a secret exit.
Pacha gives Kuzco the potion, and he is transformed back into a human.
Later, having realized the consequences of his selfishness, takes Pacha's suggestion to move Kuzcotopia to a neighboring hill.
He later joins Pacha and his family at a smaller resort, and elsewhere Kronk becomes a scout leader, training a group of scouts, including Yzma as a cat.

According to the 2002 documentary The Sweatbox, The Emperor's New Groove started production in late 1994 by Roger Allers as Kingdom of the Sun, a more traditional Disney animated movie.
By 1997 with the releases of both Pocahontas and The Hunchback of Notre Dame and their financial failures, the executives wanted something more comedic and less formulaic.

Small Smiles Dental Centers (called Church Street Health Management and previously called FORBA) is a company that manages dental offices in the United States for poor people.
Small Smiles has 70 centers in 22 states and Washington, DC.
It has its headquarters in Nashville, Tennessee.
The clinics are called many names, including Children's Dental Clinic, Indian Springs Dental Clinic, Oklahoma Smiles, Small Smiles Dentistry, Texas Smiles, and Wild Smiles.
The clinic comes from a dental clinic in Pueblo, Colorado that was started in 1928.
The DeRose family and Dr. William Mueller owned the company.
In 2003 Michael DeRose, one of the DeRoses, bought a very expensive house in Pueblo for $3.4 million.
When they owned the clinics, they put children in "papoose boards" to stop them from moving so they could quickly do dental work.
The State of Colorado made a law to limit how much they could use the papoose boards.
The offices also did lots of dental work on the children and put a lot of crowns on the children's teeth, so the Colorado government said that the clinics could only place a specified number crowns for each day.
In 2006 the DeRose family sold the company to new owners.
In 2007 a news reporter named Roberta Baskin filmed the inside of a Small Smiles clinic.
The film showed children screaming as the dentists did work on them, as the children were held in papoose boards.
The main dentist said that, in one time, they often did six or more baby root canals on a child.
He also said the clinic had goals to do a certain amount of dental work so the clinic could make money.
The news report went on television and people began filing lawsuits against Small Smiles.
A woman from Kentucky named Debbie Hagan started a blog that was against Small Smiles and what it did.
Journalists and people from the New York State government talked to Hagan to learn about what was happening.
On November 14, 2008, Small Smiles sued Hagan, saying that she published their documents without their permission.
On April 16, 2009 the company stopped the lawsuit.
The US government filed a lawsuit against Small Smiles for cheating it of money that was to be spent on dental work for poor children.
Small Smiles agreed to pay $24 million to the US government so the lawsuit would be ended.
In February 2012 Small Smiles asked for Chapter 11 Bankruptcy Protection.

Denmark sent a delegation to compete at the 1972 Summer Paralympics in Heidelberg, West Germany.
They sent ten athletes, eight male and two female.
Disability classifications
Athletes at the Paralympics in 1972 were all afflicted by spinal cord injuries and required the use of a wheelchair.
This is different from later Paralympics that include events for participants that fit into any of five different disability categories; amputation, either congenital or sustained through injury or illness; cerebral palsy; wheelchair athletes; visual impairment, including blindness; Les autres, any physical disability that does not fall strictly under one of the other categories, for example dwarfism or multiple sclerosis.
Each Paralympic sport then has its own classifications, dependent upon the specific physical demands of competition.
Events are given a code, made of numbers and letters, describing the type of event and classification of the athletes competing.
Ernst Frederick I, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen (Gotha, 21 August 1681 – Hildburghausen, 9 March 1724), was a duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen.
He was the oldest son of Ernst, Duke of Saxe-Hildburghausen and Countess Sophie Henriette of Waldeck.
When he was younger, he served in the Netherlands army.
He was wounded in the Spanish Succession War at Höchstädt.
In 1715, after the death of his father, he left the Army and governed the duchy of Saxe-Hildburghausen.
Like many German princes, He wanted his duchy to have the splendor of the court of the King Louis XIV of France.
This caused him to be ruined financially.
Because he always needed money,  he raised taxes and sold towns.
He sold the county of Cuylenburg which was the dowry of his wife.
The county was sold in 1720.
He did not sell it to pay any money he owed to others.
It was sold so that a garden and a channel could be built in his palace.
In 1723 the Schalkau was sold to the duchy of Saxe-Meiningen.
At the time, Schalkau had city privileges, and the right to hold a market.
What was sold was an administrative division, much like a county, only smaller, which included Schalkau.
The sale without the agreement of his wife was illegal.
This led to a war with Saxe-Meiningen.
At the end of the war, all of the county was ruined.
Ernst Frederick married Countess Sophia Albertine of Erbach-Erbach in Erbach on 4 February 1704.
They had fourteen children:
Ernst Ludwig Hollandinus (b. Hildburghausen, 24 November 1704 – d. Hildburghausen, 26 November 1704)
Sophie Amalie Elisabeth (b. Hildburghausen, 5 October 1705 – d. Hildburghausen, 28 February 1708)

ReachOut Healthcare America (RHA) is an American company that manages dental clinics.
Its headquarters are in Phoenix, Arizona.
Under the name "Big Smiles," it coordinates dentist vans that go to American schools and do dental checkups and dental work on poor children.
In 2011 the dentists that do business with the company went to 8,700 schools and screened and/or worked on 488,000 children.
Michael Howell and Daniel Goldsmith started the ReachOut company in 1997.
At first the company coordinated dental checkups and dental work for people in nursing homes in Michigan.
The company began coordinating services to schools.
It later began doing coordination for schools, foster programs, group homes, homeless shelters, and mental health facilities by late 2003.
In October 2011 a Camp Verde, Arizona boy who had dental work done by a dentist linked with ReachOut complained of pain.
His mother, Stacey Gagnon, said that the dentist did dental work on the boy without asking the parents if it was okay.
Darren and Stacey Gagnon, the parents of the boy, sued the dentist and the Reachout company.
In November 2011, Dan Brown, then the superintendent of the Camp Verde Unified School District, signed a letter saying that ReachOut cannot go to the district's schools anymore.
At one time ReachOut had dentists go to schools in the Clark County School District, the biggest school district in the state of Nevada.
In December 2011 the district stopped working with ReachOut.
Ken Tucker, a reporter for the newspaper Arizona Republic, said said that some parents at the schools said that ReachOut dentists did dental work without telling the parents.
He said that the main reason was that ReachOut did not give good care after the dental work was done because the dentists only came to the school two times per year.
A mobile dentist who worked with ReachOut, Derryl Brian, said that the dentists under ReachOut had, since 2006, done screenings and work on 80,000 children.
Brian said that a lot of people liked what they did.
Several school districts in Arizona, as of August 2012, still work with ReachOut.
ReachOut gave care for over 2,000 students of the Peoria Unified School District in Greater Phoenix.
ReachOut gave care to twenty Peoria USD schools that have lots of poor children.
The ReachOut website has leters from a school nurse in Tucson, Arizona and an elementary school principal of the Deer Valley Unified School District in Greater Phoenix which say good things about ReachOut.

At each of the Peeths, Bhairava (a manifestation of Shiva) accompanies the relics.
The Bhairava at Hinglaj is called Bhimalochana.
It is in Koteshwar, Kutch.
The Sanskrit texts mention the part as 'Brahmadreya' or vital essence.

Self-organization is a process where some form of order  arises out of a random system.
The process is spontaneous: it happens on its own.
It is not directed or controlled by any agent inside or outside the system.
Self-organization occurs in a variety of physical, chemical, biological, social and cognitive systems.
A common example is crystallization.
An example from biological chemistry is the lipid bilayer, which is the basis of the cell membrane, and so is of great importance.
Many self-organising things have properties which are "emergent".
What this means is that one can't predict what will happen, usually because the possibilities are too many to study.
Protein folding: after RNA translation, proteins fold themselves up into their working shape.
For every protein there are one or two shapes which are stable, but it is almost impossible to predict the folding from the sequence of amino acids.
Liberal economic theory argues that free market economies create a spontaneous order, "a more efficient allocation of societal resources than any design could achieve".
Friedrich Hayek.
This is the concept of the "invisible hand" (Adam Smith in The Wealth of Nations).
By acting on information with greater detail and accuracy than is possible for any centralized authority, a more efficient economy is created to the benefit of the whole society.

In Greek mythology, Asteria (Ancient Greek: Ἀστερία - "of the stars" or "[the] starry one") was the Titan goddess of falling stars and nocturnal divination, such as astrology.
Asteria was apart of the second generation of Titans, the daughter of Koios and Phoebe, and sister of Leto.
She is the wife of the Titan Perses, by whom she is the mother of Hecate, goddess of magic and witchcraft.
When Zeus began to lust for her, Asteria escaped his advances by leaping into the sea and becoming the floating island Delos, upon which her sister Leto eventually gave birth to the twins Apollo and Artemis.
As such, she is often labelled "Delos" on Athenian vase-painting.
Peer Gynt is a dramatic poem by Henrik Ibsen, written in 1867.
Ibsen based this work on Norse fairy tales written by Peter Christen Asbjørnsen.
Asbjørnsen had written these stories about 1848-1850.
Ibsen wrote the poem to analyse and criticize the romantic nationalist movement that was present in Norway during that time.
Originally, Peer Gynt was a poem, but Ibsen later adapted it to be a stage play.
Edvard Grieg composed the original music for the stage.
The first performance was on 24 February 1876, in Christiania, modern-day Oslo.
The musical score for the play is made of 26 pieces.
In 1888 and 1891, Grieg took eight pieces, and comined them into two suites, of four pieces each.
These are known as the Peer Gynt Suites today, and are widely known.

Famous fossils such as Fukuiraptor and Fukuisaurus are also showed in this museum.
The building was designed by Kisho Kurokawa.
The building was made in a dome shape.
The exhibition is divided into 5 zones: "Dino Street", "World of Dinosaurs", "Science of the Earth", "History of Life", and "Dino Lab".
44 skeletons of dinosaurs including 10 original fossils are displayed in the "World of Dinosaurs" zone.
The “Science of the Earth” zone shows the earth from two points of view--“Water and the Earth” and “Fire and the Earth”.
People can see how active the Earth is by observing its sediments, rocks, and minerals.
The “History of Life” zone shows the origin of life and vertebrates, and how they have evolved for 4.6 billion years.
Organisms on the Earth have evolved through a repeated cycle of evolution and extinction.
As living organisms and environment influenced each other, the present Earth environment was formed.
You can read the story of life as told by these fossils.

Klara Hitler (born Klara Pölzl, 12 August 1860 - 21 December 1907) was an Austrian woman.
She was the widow of Alois Hitler and the mother of German dictator Adolf Hitler.
Family background and marriage
Klara was born in the Austrian village of Spital, Weitra, Lower Austria.
Her father was Johann Baptist Pölzl and her mother was Johanna Hiedler.
Either Hiedler's father, Johann Nepomuk Hiedler, or his brother, Johann Georg Hiedler, was the biological father of Alois Hitler, the man she would later marry.
It is presumed and accepted by most that the father was Johann Georg Hiedler.
Klara and Alois were first cousins once removed.
In 1876, three years after Alois Hitler's first marriage to Anna Glasl-Hörer, Klara's uncle Alois had hired her as a household servant.
She was 16 years old at the time.
After the death of his second wife, Franziska Matzelsberger, in 1884, Alois and Klara were married on 7 January 1885 in a wedding held early in the morning at Hitler's rooms on the top floor of the Pommer Inn in Braunau.
Alois then went to work for the day at his job as a customs official.
Klara still called Alois "uncle" after the marriage.
Their first son, Gustav, was born four months later, on 15 May 1885.
Their second child, Ida, was born on 23 September 1886.
Both infants died of diphtheria during the winter of 1886-1887.
A third child, Otto, was born and died in 1887.
Adolf was born 20 April 1889, followed by Edmund on 24 March 1894 and Paula on 21 January 1896.
Edmund died of measles on 28 February 1900, at the age of five.
Klara's adult life was spent keeping house and raising children.
According to Smith, Alois had little understanding or interest in raising children.
Historian Alice Miller later wrote, "The family structure could well be characterized as the prototype of a totalitarian regime.
Its sole, undisputed, often brutal ruler is the father.
The wife and children are totally subservient to his will, his moods, and his whims; they must accept humiliation and injustice unquestioningly and gratefully.
Obedience is their primary rule of conduct."
Klara was very devoted to her children.
According to William Patrick Hitler, she was a typical stepmother to her stepchildren, Alois Jr. and Angela.
Klara was a devout Roman Catholic.
She worshipped at church regularly with her children.
Of her six children with Alois, only Adolf and Paula survived childhood.
Gustav Hitler (born 10 May 1885, died of diphtheria on 8 December 1887 in Braunau am Inn)
Ida Hitler (born 23 September 1886, died of diphtheria 2 January 1888 in Braunau am Inn)
Adolf Hitler (born 20 April 1889 in Braunau Am Inn, died in Berlin on 30 April 1945) Nazi German dictator
Otto Hitler (born 17 June 1892, died of hydrocephalus on 23 June 1892 in Passau)
Edmund Hitler (born 24 March 1894 in Passau, died of measles, 28 February 1900 in Leonding)
Paula Hitler (born 21 January 1896 and died 1 June 1960), the last surviving member of Hitler's immediate family.
When Alois died in 1903, he left her a government pension.
She sold the house in Leonding and moved with young Adolf and Paula to an apartment in Linz.
Three or four years later, she was diagnosed with breast cancer.
After many painful iodoform treatments given by her doctor, Eduard Bloch, Klara died at home in Linz from the toxic medical side-effects on December 21, 1907.
Adolf and Paula were at her side.
Adolf Hitler had a close relationship with his mother.
He was crushed by her death and carried the grief for the rest of his long life.
Bloch later recalled that, after Klara's death, he had seen in "one young man never so much pain and suffering broken fulfilled".
Decades later, in 1940, Hitler showed gratitude to Bloch (who was Jewish) by letting him and his wife to leave Austria and go to the United States.
Sylvia Maria Kristel (28 September 1952  18 October 2012) was a Dutch erotic actress who acted in many movies.
She was most notable for her role in the Emmanuelle movies from the 1970s through to the early 1990s.
The most successful film in her career was Private Lessons (1981).
She played the housekeeper who initiates a 15-year-old to the wonders of sex.
The film grossed over $50,000,000 worldwide.
Kristel was born on 28 September 1952 in Utrecht, Netherlands.
She died on the afternoon of 18 October 2012 in Amsterdam, Netherlands from oesophageal and lung cancer, aged 60.
She is survived by her son.
In September 2006, Kristel's autobiography Nue (Nude) was published in France.
It was translated into English as Undressing Emmanuelle: a memoir, by Fourth Estate, 2007. .
She told of her turbulent personal life blighted by addictions to drugs and alcohol.
Her quest for a father figure led to some destructive relationships with older men.

Tamil Eelam is a proposed state for Tamils in Sri Lanka.
It was one of the reasons for the Sri Lankan Civil War.
The main leader was Velupillai Prabhakaran, the leader of the Tamil Tigers.
Tamils number just over 11 percent of the Sri Lankan population.
They live mostly in the coastal regions of north, east and west Sri Lanka.
The dominant Sinhalese people are just under 75% of the population.

Thomas Robert Cech (born December 8, 1947 in Chicago) is an American chemist who shared the 1989 Nobel Prize in Chemistry with Sidney Altman.
They discovered that RNA was a catalyst.
Cech discovered that RNA could itself cut strands of RNA, which showed that life could have started as RNA.
Cech's main research area is transcription in the nucleus of cells.
He studies how the genetic code of DNA is transcribed into RNA.
In the 1970s, Cech discovered that an unprocessed RNA molecule could splice itself.
In 1982, Cech became the first to show that RNA molecules are not restricted to being passive carriers of genetic information  they can have catalytic functions and can take part in cellular reactions.
RNA-processing reactions and protein synthesis on ribosomes are catalysed by RNA.
RNA enzymes are known as ribozymes and are now used for gene technology.
They also cut and destroy invading viral RNAs.

A reverse transcriptase is an enzyme which works 'backwards' from RNA to DNA.
Normal transcription involves the synthesis of RNA from DNA; reverse transcription is the reverse of this.
It is a DNA polymerase enzyme that transcribes single-stranded RNA into single-stranded DNA.
It also synthesizes a second strand of DNA complementary to the reverse-transcribed single-stranded cDNA.

Telomerase reverse transcriptase that maintains the telomeres of eukaryotic chromosomes
Reverse transcriptase was discovered by Howard Temin at the University of Wisconsin–Madison in a cancer virus.
It was independently isolated by David Baltimore in 1970 at MIT from two RNA tumour viruses.
For their achievements, they shared the 1975 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine (with Renato Dulbecco).
The idea of reverse transcription was very unpopular at first because it contradicted the central dogma of molecular biology.
This states that DNA is transcribed into RNA which is then translated into proteins.
However, in 1970 when Howard Temin and David Baltimore both independently discovered the enzyme responsible for reverse transcription, the possibility that genetic information could be passed on in this manner was finally accepted.
Out of this work has come the idea that the first genomes were made of RNA genes.
The RNA genes surviving today might be all that remain of this early condition.
Reverse transcriptase might be the remnant of a stage when DNA genes were made by copying RNA genes.
This theory is relevant to the earliest stages of evolution.
Reverse transcription is also used by various semi-independent elements called transposons.

Ludovico Ariosto (Reggio Emilia, 8 September 1474 – Ferrara 6 July 1533) was an Italian poet.
He is best known as the author of the romance epic Orlando Furioso (1516).
The poem is a continuation of Matteo Maria Boiardo's Orlando Innamorato.
It tells about the adventures of Charlemagne, Orlando, and the Franks as they fight the Saracens with diversions into many side plots.
Ariosto composed the poem in the ottava rima rhyme scheme and introduced narrative commentary throughout the work.
Ariosto spent the greater part of his life at Ferrara including many years in the service of Cardinal Ippolito d'Este and then of Duke Alfonso I. His poem Orlando Furioso is designed to exalt the Este family; in its final form it was first published in 1532.
It is the greatest of the Italian romantic epics.
Ariosto also wrote lyric poetry in Italian and Latin, some satires and four comedies.

The Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) is a United States federal law which was signed by the then-President Bill Clinton on September 21, 1996.
The law defines that marriage can only be between one man and one woman in regard to federal or inter state recognition purposes in the United States.
Under this law, no U.S. State or political subdivision is required to recognize same-sex marriage from outside States.
However, the Obama Administration, in 2011, announced that Section 3 was declared unconstitutional and would no longer defend it in courts.
The Section 3 part of DOMA has been marked as not constitutional by eight federal courts as of 2012.
