They wear traditional clothes, white flowing dresses, sometimes turbans and colorful necklaces related to the rituals of the Afro-Brazilian religion Candomblé.
In Nigeria, however, there is no ceremony and the women who sell Akara wear whatever they like.
Nowadays, these baianas sell acarajé as a way of life and it’s something that helps to sustain their families.
In 2004, acarajé was declared part of Brazil's heritage culture in the region of Bahia.
It's one of the most important symbols of the culture of Bahia and it's enjoyed by all types of tourists.
They are delighted by the taste, color and relaxing way of eating acarajé on the streets.
Acarajé was specially made when a person dies at the age of 70 or above.
It was usually fried in large quantities and given to every household that was related to the person who died.
Acarajé was also to be made in large quantities when warriors won a war.
The wives of the warriors were to fry acarajé and give it to all the people in the village.
Acarajé, a recipe taken to Brazil by the slaves from the West African coast.
It is called "akara" by the Yoruba people of south-western Nigeria and by the people of Sierra Leone.
It is called "kosai" by the Hausa people of Nigeria.
It is called "koose" in Ghana.
It is eaten with millet or corn pudding.
In Nigeria, akara is usually eaten with bread, ogi, which is a type of cornmeal made with fine corn flour.
In Sierra Leone, akara is made up of rice flour, mashed banana, baking powder, and sugar.
After mixing the ingredients together, it is dropped in oil by hand, and fried.
It is then formed into a ball.
Akara is usually made for events like Pulnado (event held due to the birth of a child), a wedding, funeral, or party.
Acarajé sold on the street in Brazil are made with fried beef, mutton, dried shrimp, pigweed, fufu, osun sauce, and coconut.
Today in Bahia, most street vendors who sell acarajé are women.
They first started selling acarajé in the 19th century.
The money gotten from selling acarajé were used to buy the freedom of enslaved family members until slavery was banned in Brazil in 1888.
Selling acarajé served as a source of family income.
The city now has more than 500 acarajé vendors.

The vibraslap is a percussion instrument.
It is a modern version of the jawbone.
Due to the fragile nature of the jawbone, the vibra-slap was created to provide a stronger alternative with a similar sound.
It has been used mainly in popular music.
Several rock bands have used this sound for the last decades of the 20th century and into the 21st century.
It is also popular in Latin music.
The vibraslap is made of a cowbell-shaped hollow box (acting as a resonator) and a wooden ball connected by a steel rod.
The steel rod is bent in an "L" shape that allows the performer to hold the rod in one hand and strike the ball with the palm of their other hand.
The steel rod acts as a sort of spring that vibrates the box on the other end.
The box acts as a resonating body for a metal mechanism placed inside with a number of loosely fastened pins or rivets that vibrate and rattle against the box, much like the teeth of the jawbone.
The vibraslap is produced in a number of sizes using different materials such as wood, metal or composite materials.
The Vibra-Slap's inventor was Martin Cohen.
It is sometimes sold as a "Donkey Call" or "Rattleslap".
In the environment, with the exception of rare geological provinces, the mercury content is low, but its toxic compounds are very mobile.
It should be taken into account that the main source of mercury entering the environment is geological and geochemical processes in the earth's crust, and not human activity.
Thus, anthropogenic pollution of the environment with mercury in the late 90s of the last century accounted for about 40% of the total metal emissions.
The remaining 60% was provided by volcanic activity (emissions of Hg vapors with volcanic gases) and seepage of mercury vapor into the atmosphere from the deep layers of the lithosphere.
Over the past two decades, the global production and use of mercury has decreased by almost an order of magnitude, which leads to a further decrease in the proportion of anthropogenic pollution of nature with this metal.
Symptoms of mercury poisoning include pink in the cheeks, fingertips, and toes, swelling, unexplainable sweating, lots of saliva, fast heartbeat, high blood pressure, and hair loss for some people.
Mercury exposure happens most often when you eat certain types of fish or via other ways.
Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE) is an international non-profit organization.
It works with university students who want to change their communities positively and learn practical knowledge to become socially responsible business leaders.
Students form teams in their campuses and use business model to make better the quality of life and standard of living for people in need.
SIFE, was established in 1975 in the United States by Robert T. Davis.
SIFE was originally a regional leadership training program attended by university students who taught their communities what they had learned.
Eventually, these university students competed on the outcomes of their efforts.
More than 1,600 university campuses in 39 countries take part in SIFE's projects.
SIFE gives these students the chance to develop leadership, teamwork and communication skills through learning, practicing and teaching the knowledge of free enterprise.
SIFE Teams teach important concepts including market economics, entrepreneurship, personal and financial success, and business studies, their communities and their countries.
Each year, SIFE competitions are held worldwide, so called World Cup, with thousands of students and business leaders.
Teams present their projects to judges who evaluate those projects and determine which teams had the most impact improving the quality of life and standard of living for members of their community.
``Considering the relevant economic, social and environmental factors, which SIFE team most effectively empowered people in need by applying business and economic concepts and an entrepreneurial approach to improve their quality of life and standard of living.
SIFE is now called Enactus.

The Chesapeake–Leopard Affair was a naval battle that took place off the coast of Norfolk, Virginia on June 22, 1807.
The English warship  attacked and boarded the American .
The British were looking for people who had deserted the Royal Navy.
The commander of the American ship surrendered his vessel to the British.
When he returned home, he was tired, and had to leave the military.
The Chesapeake–Leopard Affair made many Americans angry.
Some of them wanted to go to war with Great Britain, but most people did not.
President Thomas Jefferson tried to use the anger to diplomatically threaten the British government into settling the matter.
The United States Congress backed away from armed conflict when British diplomats showed that they felt they did nothing wrong in the matter.
The diplomats also said that impressment would continue.
Jefferson's political failure to solve the problem with Great Britain led him towards economic warfare: the Embargo of 1807.

Hector Tjupuru Burton (about 1937 – 27 February 2017) is an Australian Aboriginal artist.
He is a leading artist from Amaṯa, in north-western South Australia.
His work has been shown in exhibitions since 2003, in several cities in Australia and other countries.
His first solo exhibition was held in 2004, in Melbourne.
Examples of his paintings are held in the National Gallery of Victoria, the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Art Gallery of New South Wales, and Flinders University.
Burton was born some time in the late 1930s.
He was born near what is now Pipalyatjara, in north-west South Australia.
A member of the Pitjantjatjara people, his childhood was spent living a traditional lifestyle in the bush.
When he was still a child, Burton and his parents came out of the desert and settled at Ernabella.
As a young man, Burton worked as a ringer at the large cattle station called Curtin Springs.
He later moved to Amaṯa where he worked building dams, fences and cattle yards outside the town.
He also later worked on a building project in Ernabella.
Burton is a senior custodian of traditional Pitjantjatjara law ( or Dreaming).
His father's homeland, to the west of Irrunytju, is closely associated with the  (Caterpillar Dreaming) and the  (Red Kangaroo Dreaming).
His mother is from Lake Wilson.
These legends are the subjects of many of his paintings.
Burton started painting in 2002.
He paints for Tjala Arts, Amaṯa's community-based art company.
When he started, the company was called Minymaku Arts.
Painting among Pitjantjatjara was originally done by women only (minymaku means "women's").
Men did not join the women until several years later, because they were afraid of revealing too much spiritual knowledge (which in Western Desert cultures is meant to be kept secret).
Burton was one of the first men at Amaṯa to begin painting; the company changed its name to Tjala Arts in 2004, after several other men joined him.
The art community at Amaṯa is still strongly conservative.
Only the basics of traditional beliefs are described in their works.
To keep the meanings of his paintings hidden, Burton uses dotting and other techniques to disguise sacred figures and ancient symbols.
He is a strong supporter of maintaing strict forms of secrecy when it comes to art produced in his community.
He is now a board member of Tjala Arts, and often coordinates projects and exhibitions with the other artists.
Burton's early paintings represent legends from his family's Dreaming.
They also show strong Christian influences.
Burton was taught by Presbyterian missionaries when he was growing up at Ernabella, and he mixed these beliefs with his family's Dreaming.
When he was older, he was ordained as a minister, and is now a senior member of the Church on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands.
Since the later part of 2011, Burton and several other men from Amaṯa have led a project to change the subject of their artists' work.
Instead of depicting sacred Dreaming knowledge, he and the other board members of Tjala Arts have encouraged their artists to paint about other things (such as the landscape or wildlife).
Burton and the other leaders decided that the popularity of Western Desert art had resulted in people asking too many questions about their traditional designs and too much secret knowledge being revealed.
The centre's first exhibition under this project was held in March 2012, in Alice Springs.
The exhibition was called Punu-Nguru (From the Trees) and its paintings depicted traditional designs of trees from the artists' home countries.
Molecular cloning is a type of work in molecular biology.
It is used to assemble recombinant DNA molecules, and to direct their replication within host organisms.
The use of the word cloning means a DNA molecule from a single living cell is used to make a large population of cells containing identical DNA molecules.
Molecular cloning methods are central to many areas of modern biology and medicine.
In a molecular cloning experiment, the DNA to be cloned is got from an organism of interest, then treated with enzymes in the test tube to get smaller DNA fragments.
These fragments are then joined with vector DNA to produce recombinant DNA molecules.
The recombinant DNA is then introduced into a host organism (typically an easy-to-grow, benign, laboratory strain of E. coli bacteria).
This produces a population of organisms in which recombinant DNA molecules are replicated along with the host DNA.
Because they contain foreign DNA fragments, these are "transgenic" or genetically-modified microorganisms (GMO).
This process takes advantage of the fact that a single bacterial cell can be induced to take up and replicate a single recombinant DNA molecule.
This single cell can then be expanded exponentially to generate a large amount of bacteria, each of which contain copies of the original recombinant molecule.
Thus, both the resulting bacterial population, and the recombinant DNA molecule, are commonly referred to as "clones".
Strictly speaking, recombinant DNA refers to DNA molecules, while molecular cloning refers to the experimental methods used to assemble them.
Genetically modified food (GM food) is food which has been produced using organisms that have been engineered genetically (GM organisms).
GM food contains GM organisms.
Common examples include maize, soybean, cotton and rapeseed.
The first genetically modified food animal approved for sale is salmon.
Commercial sale of genetically modified food began in 1994, when Calgene first marketed its delayed ripening tomato.
Genetically modified foods include: soybean, corn, canola, rice, and cotton seed oil.
The features of available and future crops include resistance to herbicides, insects, viruses, fungi, production of extra nutrients, faster growth, or some other beneficial purpose.
GM livestock have also been experimentally developed.
Research is being done on bacteria which would speed up making cheese.
Genetically modified yeast could be used to make beer that has fewer calories.
The approaches taken by governments to assess and manage the development and release of genetically modified organisms (GMOs) vary from country to country.
Some of the most marked differences are between the USA and Europe.
The US regulatory policy is the Coordinated Framework for Regulation of Biotechnology.
The policy has three main principles:
UK policy will focus on the product of genetic modification (GM) techniques, not the process itself
Only regulation grounded in verifiable scientific risks will be tolerated, and
GM products are on similar enough to existing products that existing laws are sufficient to review the products.
European Union have the strictest GMO rules in the world.
All GMOs, and irradiated food, are considered "new food" and subject to extensive, case-by-case, science based food evaluation by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA).
The criteria for authorization has four broad categories: "safety," "freedom of choice," "labelling," and "traceability".
One of the key issues is whether GM products should be labelled.
A study into voluntary labelling in South Africa found that 31% of products labelled as GMO-free had a GM content above 1.0%.
In Canada and the US labelling of GM food is voluntary.
In Europe all food (including processed food) or cattle feed which contains greater than 0.9% of approved GMOs must be labelled.
Most vegetable oil used in the US is produced from GM crops.
Vegetable oil is sold directly to consumers as cooking oil, margarine, and shortening, and is used in prepared foods.
As for soybeans, about 95% of the US crop is GM, and about 85% of the world's soybean crop is processed into soybean meal and vegetable oil.
The bulk of the soybean crop is grown for oil production, with the high-protein defatted and "toasted" soy meal used as for farm animal food and dog food.
98% of the US soybean crop is used for feeding farm animals.
A smaller percentage of soybeans are used directly for human food.
Researchers have made genetically modified potatoes which are resistant to potato blight.
That disease caused the Irish potato famine in the 1840s.
EU approval is needed before commercial growing of this GM crop can take place.

A tie clip is an accessory.
It is to keep a necktie near a person's shirt.
A phone connector (also called jack plug, stereoplug) is an electrical plug that is used in audio systems.
For example, it is used in electric guitar cables to connect the guitar to an amplifier.
There are typically three different sizes of phone connectors: 6.3 mm, 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm diameters.
Balanced and unbalanced circuits are possible with stereoplug connector when using monosignal per one stereoplug.
Sound quality improves with a balanced circuit because noise signal reduces, especially with microphones where the signal is often weak.

Gereja Perawan Maria Tak Berdosa is a Catholic church.
It is one of the old buildings left from during the Dutch invasion in the 18th century.
It is the oldest church in East Java.
It has been preserved by the Dutch government in Indonesia.
Despite the fact that it is old, the brick stones are undamaged.
Without air-conditioning in the hot weather of Indonesia, the temperature inside the church is low and cool.
Services were held since 1800s and it still continues today every Sunday in Chinese.
Surabaya is not only the second largest city in Indonesia but it is known as the “city of heroes” because of the role it played in the Battle of Surabaya in November 10, 1945.
This monument Tugu Pahlawan, Heroes Monument, is the symbol of Surabaya and is built to respect the heroes who fought for independence.
This rocket-like monument points towards the moon 41.15 meters high.
Along with the monument, there is a museum where diorama of Surabaya in 1945 is displayed.
History of Surabaya at that time could be seen through pictures, clips, and stories.
There are other buildings surrounding the monument to depict the struggles Indonesians had to go through.

Samul nori is a Korean traditional musical performance, which is performed with four percussion instruments: Jing, Janggu, Buk (the drum in Korean), Kkwaenggwari.
The performance includes dancing.
Specifically, in Samul, sa means "four", and mul means "object" in Korean, and nori means "to play".
Considering the meaning of Samul nori, this is one kind of playful and casual art performance done in public.
In the past, Korean people usually play Samul nori when they work in agricultural area to relax after working.
Nowadays, some Korean people who play Korean traditional music try to boost Samul nori.
Famous samul-nori performances are Kim duk soo Samul nori and Namsadang nori.
Namsadang Nori was chosen as a UNESCO Masterpiece of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity.
In addition, some Koreans are trying to transform Samul nori to modern styles by mixing this with other modern performances.
For example, there were TV shows where Samul nori performers were dancing with pop singers or DJs.
Furthermore, other than mixing Samul nori with modern performances, some Korean people try to create new performance inspired by Samul nori.
For example, Nanta, a performance of sounds made by hitting everyday objects, is inspired by Samul nori.
Also, there is Nori dan, social enterprise in Korea, which play recycled garbage as musical instruments by hitting them.
63 Building is a skyscraper on Yeouido (island) in Yeongdeungpo-gu, Seoul in South Korea.
Despite its name, it actually has 66 floors – 63 floors above ground and 3 floors underground.
Construction started in February 1980, and was completed in May 1985.
At that time, the name of the building was “Daehanlife 63 Building”, but the name of this has changed to “63 City.”
It was the highest building in Asia at the moment of being built.
It is now the 5th highest building in even Korea – the highest building in Korea is Northeast Asia Trade Tower in Incheon.
But from now on, 63 Building is known as the most famous landmark in Korea.
Before it was built, South Korea was in the period of development.
Therefore, it was decided to build the highest building in Asia to beat Sunshine 60 in Tokyo, Japan.
There were also no buildings which were higher than 31 floors in South Korea.
The process of building was chosen very fast.
63 building is actually a building for Hanhwa Group but it also has some cultural areas for visitors.
Except for the top 3 floors, visitors can enjoy all of the building.
There is an aquarium named “63 Sea World”, IMAX theater, and observatory with museum named “63 Sky-art.”
There are also many areas like food courts and restaurants.
63 Sea World was opened at July 27th, 1985, and has over 400 species and 20,000 marine lives in there.
It also has a coelcanth and oarfish.
The theater in 63 Building is the first IMAX theater in Korea.
The “63 Buffet Pavilion” is known as one of the greatest restaurants in Seoul.
There are six elevators which were made by Mitsubishi in 63 Building, and their speed is about 540 meters per minute.
It is the fastest elevator in Korea.
For subway, there are two stations, Noryangjin station in Line 1 and Line 9.

As they got popular among people, they participated in Superstar K of M-net on April, 2011.
Actually there were more members in the band but composition was somewhat unsettled.
As the three of them could adjust their schedules and started to be aired on TV, Busker Busker has been fixed as trio band.
They could pass the preliminary stage as performing their own song "Ideal Type".
In Super-week, they performed K-pop song "Coming-of-age ceremony" but they failed to pass the rival mission with 2-Month () singing "Juliet".
However, one of the Top 10 band, Yeri-Band left the lodging without permission during training period.
As there happened to be a vacancy in Top 10, Busker Busker was newly selected as one of the top 11, with Haze.
As they sang several songs on the live stages including "Tokyo girl", "People in Seoul" and "Makgerlina", they got extremely popular and most of their songs were ranked highest in music charts.
Although Ulala Session got the title of the competition, they kept their popularity after the Audition.

The Hanukkah menorah, or hanukiah, is a nine-branched lamp or candleholder used on the Jewish holiday of Hanukkah.
It is used to celebrate, remember, and honor the historical miracle of Hanukkah.
Its shape is an upright stand with eight equal branches to hold a candle or oil with a wick.
A ninth branch, at the center or to one side and usually taller, is the shamash ().
The shamash is lit first, then used to light the others, while a prayer is recited.
One of the branches is lit on the first night, two on the second, etc.,
which lasts eight nights.

Reality and fantasy
Reality is the world around us.
Fantasy is a world that only is in our minds, or recorded in some way onto or into something that can be passed along from one form to another.
Fantasy cannot exist as something real, something that we can touch or see as it is.
An example of something from fantasy is the White Rabbit from Lewis Carroll's "Alice in Wonderland".
Because of our experience, that is, how we have lived our lives, it has not been proven that it can possibly be real.
The White Rabbit is an animal which stands on two legs (in some stories), wears human clothing, and acts and speaks like a human.
For us as humans, a normal rabbit does not speak, nor does it act or speak like a human.
Because of that, we think of the White Rabbit as fantasy, it only can be living in a not-real world.
Suspension of disbelief is a way to enjoy a story.
If one were to completely disregard a story as false, the entertainment value, what makes us like a story, would be lost.
On the other hand, if one accepts a story as real for as long as the story goes on, then a connection to living in reality can be made, however big or small.

Rogers Arena is a sports arena in Vancouver, British Columbia.
The arena opened on September 21, 1995, and is the current home to the Vancouver Canucks of the National Hockey League.
The arena was first known as General Motors Place from 1995 to 2010.
It was renamed Canada Hockey Place for a short time and held ice hockey events during the 2010 Winter Olympics.
The arena used to be the home of the Vancouver Grizzlies from 1995 to 2001 before they moved to Memphis, Tennessee to become the Memphis Grizzlies.
Rogers Communications has naming rights for the arena right now.
The arena has hosted the WWF's PPV In Your House 9: International Incident in 1996, ice hockey events during the 2010 Winter Olympics and UFC's 115 and 131.
Besse Berry Cooper (August 26, 1896 – December 4, 2012) was an American woman who was, at the time of her death, the youngest of only 6 verified people (all of whom were women) who had become at least 116 years old, the oldest living person in the United States since Eunice Sanborn's death on January 31, 2011 and also believed to be the world's oldest living person.
However, Brazilian woman Maria Gomes Valentim was on May 18, 2011 confirmed to be almost 7 weeks older, which made her the oldest living person from Frenchwoman Eugénie Blanchard's death on November 4, 2010 and Cooper the oldest living person from her death on June 21, 2011, just 18 days before her 115th birthday.
Later on December 2 that year, when Japanesewoman Chiyono Hasegawa died 12 days after celebrating her 115th birthday, Cooper also became the last living person born in 1896.
Cooper is (except from possibly disputed Frenchwoman Jeanne Calment) one of two people to have regained the status of world's oldest living person, with the other being Elizabeth Bolden.
Besse Cooper was born as Besse Berry Brown in Sullivan County in Tennessee on August 26, 1896.
She was the third of eight children of Richard Brown and Angeline Berry.
She graduated from East Tennessee State Normal School (now East Tennessee State University) in 1916.
While a college student, she joined the so-called first wave of feminism in the United States, becoming a suffragette, joining the struggle for women's right to vote.
The dedication of suffragettes like Besse, after some four decades of struggle by a fierce women's movement, resulted in the United States finally recognizing women as having the same right to vote as men, awarding them equal voting rights in all states.
Besse's home state of Tennessee would prove the state which tipped the balance, being the 36th state needed to ratify and thus approve the Nineteenth Amendment be added to the U.S. Constitution in August 1920.
She worked as a school teacher until the time of America's entrance to World War I in 1917, when she moved to Georgia.
She taught in the Walton County town of Between until 1929, being the principal teacher in a one-room schoolhouse.
She was married to Luther Cooper from 1924 until his death in 1963 with whom she had four children.
She also had eleven grandchildren, thirteen great-grandchildren and two great-great-grandchildren.
In her final years, Cooper lived in a nursing home in Monroe, Georgia.
In August 2012, a bridge in Between was named the "Besse Brown Cooper Bridge" in her honour.

It has about 14 applicants for every undergraduate place.
James Ephraim Lovelock CH CBE FRS (born 26 July 1919) is an independent scientist who lives in Devon.
He became an environmentalist and futurist.
He is best known for proposing the Gaia theory.
This suggests the biosphere is a self-regulating system.
After the development of an instrument in the late 1960s, Lovelock was the first to detect the widespread presence of CFCs in the atmosphere.
He found a concentration of 60 parts per trillion of CFC-11 over Ireland.
He went on to measure the concentration of CFC-11 from the northern hemisphere to the Antarctic aboard the research ship RRS  Shackleton.
The Gaia hypothesis proposes that living and non-living parts of the Earth form a complex interacting system that can be thought of as a single organism.
Named after the Greek goddess Gaia at the suggestion of novelist William Golding, the idea is that the biosphere has a regulatory effect on the Earth's environment which acts to sustain life.
While the idea was readily accepted by many in the environmentalist community, it has not been widely accepted by other scientists.
Among its more famous critics are the evolutionary biologists Richard Dawkins, Ford Doolittle, and Stephen Jay Gould.
Lovelock has responded to these criticisms with models such as Daisyworld, which illustrate how individual-level effects can translate to planetary homeostasis, under the right circumstances.
In Lovelock's 2006 book, The Revenge of Gaia, he argues that the destruction of rainforests weakens Gaia's capacity to control greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
If so, the planet's negative feedbacks would weaken, and global warming would continue to increase.
The warming of the oceans is extending the oceanic thermocline layer of tropical oceans over the Arctic and Antarctic waters.
This would prevent the rise of oceanic nutrients into the surface waters and eliminate the algal blooms of phytoplankton.
As phytoplankton and forests are the main ways in which Gaia draws down carbon dioxide, taking it out of the atmosphere, the elimination of this environmental buffering will see, according to Lovelock, most of the earth becoming uninhabitable for humans and other life-forms by the middle of this century, with a massive extension of tropical deserts.
This rather extreme view is held by only a few other scientists.
In his most recent book, "The Vanishing Face of Gaia", he suggests that we may already be beyond the tipping point of terrestrial climate into a permanently hot state.
Given these conditions, Lovelock expects human civilization will be hard pressed to survive.
He expects the change to be similar to the PaleoceneEocene Thermal Maximum when atmospheric concentration of CO2 was 450 ppm.
At that point the Arctic Ocean was 23 °C and had crocodiles in it, with the rest of the world mostly scrub and desert.
Climate engineering
In September 2007, Lovelock and Chris Rapley proposed the construction of ocean pumps to pump water up from below the thermocline to "fertilize algae in the surface waters and encourage them to bloom".
The basic idea was to accelerate the transfer of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere to the ocean by increasing photosynthesis and increasing the export of organic carbon (as "marine snow") to the deep ocean.
A scheme similar to that proposed by Lovelock and Rapley is being independently developed by a commercial company.
A DIN connector is a type of round electronic connector.
It is named for the Deutsches Institut für Normung, the German national standards regulator.
DIN plugs can be used in audio systems and MIDI connections.
The Mini-DIN connector is similar but smaller.
Before USB connectors, keyboards and mice used mini-DIN connectors.
XLR connector is a type of electronic connector that is mostly used with audio technology.
Balanced and unbalanced circuits are possible with XLR when using monosignal per one XLR connection.
Jayne Meadows (who was born as Jane Cotter; September 27, 1919 – April 27, 2015) was an American movie and stage actress.
She was the older sister for the deceased actress Audrey Meadows.
She was married to Steve Allen.
Meadows was nominated for three Emmy Awards.
Meadows was born  in Wu-ch'ang, Heilongjiang, China  to an American family.
Line level is the strength of an audio signal.
An audio signal transfers sound, for example to CD players and cassette players.
It is much higher than microphone level, which can be only a couple of millivolts.
A line level signal can be connected to an amplifier which sends the signal to loudspeakers with much higher power.
A preamplifier is a device that can make the line level higher.
It can boost a microphone's weak audio signal.
Avril Phædra Douglas "Kim" Campbell  (known as Kim Campbell) (born March 10, 1947), is a Canadian politician, lawyer, diplomat, and writer who was the 19th Prime Minister of Canada from June 25, 1993 to November 4, 1993.
Kim Campbell was born on March 10, 1947, in Port Alberni, British Columbia.
Her Parents were George Thomas Campbell and Phyllis "Lisa" Cook.
She entered the PC Party leadership race after Prime Minister Brian Mulroney announced his retirement from politics.
She defeated Jean Charest at the Progressive Conservative leadership convention and was appointed Prime Minister on June 25, 1993 by Governor General Ray Hnatyshyn.
She served as Prime Minister from June 25, 1993 to November 4, 1993.
She was the first and only to date female Prime Minister of Canada, the first Prime Minister to have been born in British Columbia and the first Prime Minister to be a baby boomer.
When Campbell became Prime Minister, there had to be a general election.
This is because elections in Canada have to take place at least every five years.
During the 1993 federal election campaign, she became very unpopular after the writ was dropped.
Because of this, on the day of the election, the Progressive Conservatives won only two seats in Parliament.
Campbell lost her own seat.
