Monogamy (; monos+gamos meaning one+marriage) is a form of marriage in which a person or animal has only one spouse at any one time.
The word monogamy comes from the Greek words "μονός", monos which means one or alone, and "γάμος", gamos which means marriage.
Monogamy is one of the beliefs of Judaism and Christianity (except for the fundamentalist branch of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormons) who strictly follow the teachings of Joseph Smith, who allowed polygamy and had many wives).
In Jewish and Christian doctrine, marriage is between one husband and wife.
In most countries, monogamy is the only legal form of marriage, either between a man and a woman in most of these countries, and between two persons of the same gender (gay marriage) mainly in the Western world.
In these countries polygamy is illegal, and a person who has more than one spouse can be prosecuted for bigamy.
The Angolan Civil War was a major civil war in the African country of Angola.
It started in 1975 and continued until 2002.
The war began right after Angola became independent from Portugal in November 1975.
The Civil War was mostly a fight for power between two former liberation movements, the People's Movement for the Liberation of Angola (MPLA) and the National Union for the Total Independence of Angola (UNITA).
Other countries got involved in the war because they wanted their own ideologies to win.
This made the Angolan war part of the Cold War.
In 2002 the MPLA won.
About 500,000 people died in the war.
The war also did a lot of damage to buildings in Angola.
Because of all the damage, in 2003 80% of Angolans lacked access to basic medical care, 60% lacked access to water, and 30% of Angolan children would die before the age of 5, with an overall national life expectancy of less than 40 years of age.
In 1575, the Portuguese started to colonize parts of what is now Angola.
Before, some of the land was part of the Kingdom of Kongo.
Combatants
The MPLA was a communist group fighting for Angolan independence.
Its leader was Agostinho Neto.
They were supported by the Soviet Union.
UNITA was an anti-communist group also fighting for Angolan independence.
Its leader was Jonas Savimbi.
FNLA
FNLA was another anti-communist independence group.
Its leader was Holden Roberto.
The US gave them money by funneling it through Zaire.
In 1975, Portugal signed the Alvor Agreement with MPLA, UNITA, and FNLA.
The agreement said that Angola would become independent on 11 November 1975.
There are still a lot of landmines in Angola from the war.
Sometimes they still go off and kill and hurt people.

The kwanza (sign: Kz; ISO 4217 code: AOA) is the currency of Angola.
The Kwanza was introduced in 1999, replacing the "Kwanza Reajustado" (AOK).
AOA is subdivided into coin denominations of 100 centimos, and is denoted by the symbol Kz.
Angola declared independence from Portugal in 1975, following a bitter period in which Angola fought a war of independence while also becoming engulfed in a civil war.
While Angola created its first national currency as an independent nation in 1977, this currency—called the Angola Kwanza (AOK)—soon saw its value rapidly eroded by inflation.
The AON, introduced in 1990, was an attempt to deal with this severe inflation, but it too was devalued only 5 years later.
The second devaluation occurred in 1995, when the AON was replaced by a new currency called the “kwanza reajustado”.
The devaluation was carried out at a rate of 1,000 new currency units for every 1 AON, reflecting the level of severity of Angola’s inflation crisis at that time.
A third devaluation occurred in 1999, replacing the kwanza reajustado with the Second Kwanza (AOA), which is the currency that Angola continues to use today.

Priapus was a minor fertility god in Greek mythology, who was also the protector of livestock, fruit plants, and male genitals.
He was depicted as having an oversized and permanent erection.
Sources differ as to who his parents were.
Some say he was the son of the god Dionysus and the goddess Aphrodite; Dionysus and Chione; Hermes and Aphrodite; Zeus and Aphrodite; or Pan and Aphrodite.
According to the myth, Hera cursed him while he was still in the womb of Aphrodite, because she was jealous that the Trojan prince Paris had picked Aphrodite as being the most beautiful of the goddesses and had given the Golden Apple of Eris to her.
Hera's curse made Priapus impotent, ugly and foul-minded.
The gods did not want Priapus to live with them on Olympus, and he was left on a hillside on Earth.
There, he was taken by shepherds who raised him.
Priapus later tried to rape the goddess Hestia, but was hit by a donkey, and this caused Priapus to lose his erection.
He also became the patron god of merchant sailing, protecting and guiding them through rough seas.
It was common for merchants to carry a Priapus figure or a phallus on their ships as protection.

Planaria is a small aquatic genus of flatworm.
The term is also used for other similar flatworms.
They are fresh water animals which move in a smooth wave-like manner.
Planaria are free-living.
They can live in fresh water or very damp soil, depending on the type.
Planaria are hermaphrodite: they produce both eggs and sperm.
To reproduce, a planarian releases eggs and sperm into the water, where the eggs get fertilized.
Planaria can repair damage by regenerating any part of their body.
Planaria are the one of most simple creatures to develop a nervous system.
Their nervous system consists of  ganglia under the eyespots and a cord of nerves that run down the body, under the gut (ventral nerve cord).
The three pairs of ganglia under the eyespots make a inverted U shape that have nerves sticking out to the outside of the head so that the head of the planarian is more sensitive than the rest of the body.
If the light hits the animal near the eyespots, they usually move away into darker water.
The digestive system of Planaria consist of a mouth a pharynx and a gut cavity.
Its mouth is on the underside of the body.
Digestive enzymes are released from the mouth onto the food to soften it, Then the half digested food is sucked up the pharynx and into the stomach.
From there the nutrients diffuse into the rest of the body.
There are no circulatory or respiratory systems.
Oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves the planarian's body by diffusing through the body wall.
Planaria do not have a skeleton.
They have an extendable crumpled muscle that allows them to move.
Also, planarians have three layers of body-wall muscles that are constructed of circular muscle fibers as well as longer muscle threads.
Planarians have both ovaries and testes.
To reproduce, they can have sex with another planarian; this is called sexual reproduction.
Another way planarians reproduce is called asexual reproduction.
This is when a planarian splits and regenerates the parts that are missing.
However, asexual reproduction is uncommon.
The Ironbridge Gorge is a deep gorge formed by the River Severn in Shropshire, England.
The area was originally called the Severn Gorge.
Ironbridge Gorge has mines, factories, workers' housing, and the transport infrastructure that was created in the gorge during the Industrial Revolution.
Coke production in the area helped start the Industrial Revolution.
The Iron Bridge was the world's first bridge built from iron.
The gorge takes its name from its famous "Iron Bridge", the first iron bridge of its kind in the world.
It is a monument to the industry that began there.
The bridge was built in 1779 to link the industrial town of Broseley with the smaller mining town of Madeley and the growing industrial centre of Coalbrookdale.
a material which was previously far too expensive to use for large structures.
However, a new blast furnace nearby lowered the cost.
This encouraged local engineers and architects to solve a long-standing problem of a crossing over the river.
There are two reasons the site was so useful to the early industrialists.
The raw materials, coal, iron ore, limestone and clay, for the manufacture of iron, tiles and porcelain are exposed or easily mined in the gorge.
Second, the deep and wide river allowed easy transport of products to the sea.
It crosses the River Severn at the Ironbridge Gorge near the village of Ironbridge, in Shropshire, England.
The bridge is part of a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
It is maintained by English Heritage who launched a crowdfunding campaign in 2017 to support a conservation project which began in 2018.
As well as repairing rusted parts of the bridge, it was painted red to match a painting from 1777 showing how the Iron Bridge looked soon after it was finished.
A herma, commonly in English herm is a sculpture with a head and sometimes a torso, above a tall squared pillar.
Often a phallus was carved at the appropriate height.
The form originated in Ancient Greece and was adopted by the Romans and revived in the Renaissance in the form of term figures.
The name of the god Hermes comes from the word herma, and the sculptures originally represented him.
The ancient Greeks and Romans were very superstitious, and the sculptures had an apotropiac function.
They were placed at cross-roads and on the borders of lands as protection.
In Athens, they were placed outside houses, temples and gymnasiums for good luck and to avert harmful or bad influences, like the evil eye.
They would be adorned with garlands, wreaths, offerings and anointed with oil to obtain luck and protection.
The 26th of July Movement was the name of the political party led by Fidel Castro during the Cuban Revolution.
In Spanish, it is called Movimiento 26 de Julio, it is often abbreviated M-26-7.
The name comes from the date of the attack on the Moncada Barracks, in Santiago de Cuba, which was carried out on 26th July 1953.
The participants were condemned to long prison terms, but were freed at an amnesty in 1955.
After this, they formed the movement.
Their strategy was armed resistance, in small cells, that were spread all over the country, and were kept secret.
Frank País was made the leader of the resistance in Cuba, other activists were Raúl Pujol, Celia Sánchez, Haydée Santamaría, Aldo Santamaría and Vilma Espín.
Fidel castro and other Moncadistas went into exile.
Castro went to Mexico, where he met Ernesto Guevara.
In 1956, Fidel and Raul Castro, Juan Almeida Bosque, Ramiro Valdés Menéndez, Guevara, and Camilo Cienfuegos went back to Cuba to support the cells there.
After two years of guerilla fighting, Fulgencio Batista fled from Cuba, in 1959.
Until the fall of Batista, the forces did not have a Marxist ideology, rather they were different people collaborating to overturn the Batista regime.
Later they started to work together with the Communist Party of Cuba.
In 1961, they merged with the Communist Party.
An Antiplatelet drug is a drug that acts against blood clotting.
The blood contains platelets, which will stick together, and close an open wound.
In some cases, they also stick together in the bloodstream, and form blood clots.
Such blood clots cause Strokes and Heart attacks.
Another type of drug that prevents clotting is called anticoagulant.
Anticoagulants cannot be used to prevent blood clotting in the arteries.
Antiplatelet drugs are commonly used in the prevention of strokes and heart attacks.
Acetylsalicylic acid, commonly known as Aspirin, is one of them.
Sir Charles Trevelyan, 1st Baronet (2 April 1807 – 19 June 1886) was a British civil servant, cabinet member, colonial administrator, and oriental scholar best known for his administration of the famine relief effort in Ireland during the Potato Famine, while he was assistant secretary to Her Majesty's Treasury.
He has been criticized for not doing enough to help the Irish during the Potato Famine.
He wrote a book about the famine called The Irish Crisis.

Coalbrookdale is a village in the Ironbridge Gorge in Shropshire, England.
It is in an area of great significance in the history of industrialisation.
This is where iron ore was first smelted by Abraham Darby using easily mined "coking coal".
The coal was drawn from drift mines in the sides of the valley.
As it contained far fewer impurities than normal coal, the iron it produced was of a superior quality.
Along with many other industrial developments that were going on in other parts of the country, this discovery was a major factor in the growing industrialisation of Britain.
It was the Industrial Revolution.
Drosophila simulans is a species of fruit fly closely related to D. melanogaster
It was discovered by the fly geneticist Alfred Sturtevant in 1919, when he noticed that the flies used in Thomas Hunt Morgan's laboratory at the Columbia University were actually two distinct species: D. melanogaster and D. simulans.
Males differ in the external genitalia, while trained observers can separate females using colour characteristics.
D. melanogaster females crossed to D. simulans males produce sterile F1 females and no F1 males.
The reciprocal cross produces sterile F1 males and no female progeny.
D. simulans was found later to be closely related to two island endemics, Drosophila sechellia and Drosophila mauritiana.
D. simulans will mate with these sister species to form fertile females and sterile males, a fact that has made D. simulans an important model organism for research into speciation.

This is about the American musician.
For other people called Tipton, see Tipton (disambiguation).
Billy Lee Tipton (December 29, 1914 – January 21, 1989) was an American jazz musician and bandleader.
Tipton had been assigned female gender at birth.
Tipton was born in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and grew up in Kansas City, Missouri.
His aunt raised him after his parents' divorced.
He became interested in music in high school, especially jazz.
He studied piano and saxophone.
He went back to Oklahoma for his last year of high school and joined the school band there.
His nickname in high school was "Tippy".
Tipton later took his father's nickname, Billy, when he started a music career.
He also began to try to appear to be male by dressing to hide his breasts.
At first, Tipton only behaved as a male while performing.
However, by 1940 Tipton was living as a man all the time.
Very few people knew both sides of his life.
They were two of his female cousins and maybe his later lovers.
In 1936, Tipton lead a band playing on the radio station, KFXR.
In 1938, Tipton joined Louvenie’s Western Swingbillies.
This band played on another rado station, KTOK, and at Brown's Tavern.
In 1940, Tipton was touring the Midwest and playing at dances with Scott Cameron's band.
Starting in 1941, he played for two and a half years at Joplin, Missouri's Cotton Club with George Meyer's band.
He then toured for a time with Ross Carlyle.
Later, he played for two years in Texas.
In 1949, Tipton began touring the Pacific Northwest with George Meyer.
A local radio station recorded the band's appearances at Roseburg, Oregon's Shalimar Room.
Recordings of Tipton's early playing include "If I Knew Then" and "Sophisticated Swing".
The band was well known for the song "Flying Home".
They played the song like Benny Goodman's band did.
George Meyer's band became more successful, and they began getting better chances to perform.
They played with The Ink Spots, the Delta Rhythm Boys, and Billy Eckstine at the Boulevard Club in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.
In Longview, he started the Billy Tipton Trio.
This band was Tipton on piano, Dick O'Neil on drums, and Kenny Richards (and later Ron Kilde) on bass.
The trio became popular in the area.
A talent scout from Tops Records heard them play at King's Supper Club in Santa Barbara, California and got them a contract to record songs.
The Billy Tipton Trio made two albums of jazz standards for Tops, Sweet Georgia Brown and Billy Tipton Plays Hi-Fi on Piano, in 1957.
The albums sold 17,678 copies.
This was a good number for a small independent record label.
After the albums' success, the Holiday Hotel in Reno, Nevada asked them to become play there regularly.
Tops Records asked the trio to record four more albums.
Tipton said no both offers.
Instead, he moved to Spokane, Washington worked as an agent.
The trio played every week at Allen's Tin Pan Alley as the house band.
He played mainly swing standards and less jazz, even though he preferred jazz.
His performances also included skits like vaudeville performers did.
He imitated celebrities like Liberace and Elvis Presley.
In some of these comedy skits, he played a little girl.
He helped young musicians at the Dave Sobol Theatrical Agency.
Early in his career, Tipton appeared as a male only as a musician.
He appeared as a woman at other times.
He lived with a woman named Non Earl Harrell.
Other musicians thought this was a lesbian relationship.
The relationship ended in 1942.
Tipton's next relationship was with a singer known only as "June".
This lasted for several years.
Then, or seven years, Tipton lived with a young woman named Betty Cox.
She was 19 when they started their relationship.
Cox said they had a heterosexual relationship.
Betty remembered Tipton as "the most fantastic love of my life."
Tipton kept the secret of his physical sexual characteristics a secret from Betty with a story.
Tipton said that he had been in a serious car accident which had badly damaged his genitals and broken some ribs.
He said he had to wear bandages protect his damaged chest.
He told his female partners this story later in his life.
Tipton was never legally married, but several women had drivers' licenses naming them Mrs. Tipton.
In 1960, Tipton ended the relationship with Cox.
He settle down with nightclub dancer and stripper, Kitty Kelly (later known as Kitty Oakes).
Her professional name was "The Irish Venus."
They were involved with their local PTA and with the Boy Scouts.
They adopted three sons, John, Scott, and William.
After Tipton died, Kitty gave several interviews about him and their relationship.
In early interviews, she said, “He gave up everything... There were certain rules and regulations in those days if you were going to be a musician.”
She was taking about trying to be part of 1920−30s music industry.
His son William described Tipton as a good father who loved to go on Scout camping trips.
They had trouble with their adopted sons during their adolescence.
The couple often argued over how they should raise the boys.
Tipton left Kitty in the late 1970s and moved into a mobile home with their sons.
He restarted an old relationship with Maryann.
He was poor, but stayed there until his death.
Death and after
In 1989, at the age of 74, Tipton had medical problems.
He said it was emphysema and refused to call a doctor.
Actually he  had a hemorrhaging peptic ulcer.
He died because he did not get medical care for this serious problem.
His son William watched while paramedics were trying to save Tipton's life.
That is how William learned that his father was born female.
Tipton was pronounced dead at Valley General Hospital.
The coroner shared the secret with the rest of the family.
Kitty had his body to be cremated so that nobody would find out, but one of their sons did not keep the secret.
A newspaper article was published the day after Tipton's funeral and wire services picked it up.
Stories about Tipton appeared in papers including tabloids such as National Enquirer and Star, as well as more serious papers such as New York Magazine and The Seattle Times.
Tipton's family even made talk show appearances.
