Gallows letters were official letters or dispatches used by the Privy Council of Elizabeth I of England.
To express an extreme degree of urgency of delivery, the letter had on the address panel a rough drawing of a gallows.
Sometimes the picture included a hanging body.
These drawings could also have repeated written directions as "haste haste", "post haste", "haste for life", "for life haste", etc.
There are also modern forgeries of such letters.
This is when counterfeit gallows marks have been applied onto original letters.
This quadrupedal herbivorous dinosaur lived during the Upper Jurassic (middle Kimmeridgian, about 154 million years ago).
It was found in northern Germany.
It is an example of insular dwarfism.
This means it probably came from an isolated sauropod population on an island in the Lower Saxony basin.
Small sauroopods with an adult body mass less than five tonnes are rare, and small sauropod bones usually come from juveniles.
This species was a small adult, based on its bone histology.
It was a dwarf species.
There are fossils from more than 11 individuals of 1.7 to 6.2 m in total body length.
These size differences between the specimens are due to growth stages, from juveniles to fully grown individuals.
The little dinosaurs must have lived on one of the large islands around the Lower Saxony basin.
A similar discovery was made in Transylvania at the start of the 20th century.
a local aristocrat, Franz Nopcsa, found the fossils on his estate.
He realised they might have lived on an island, because he knew that dwarf elephants had lived on islands in the Ice Age.
Nopsca's estate was ruined by World War I, but his find was recorded as Magyarosaurus.

Dzhokhar Anzorovich "Jahar" Tsarnaev (Cyrillic: Джоха́р Анзо́рович Царна́ев ; born July 22, 1993) and his brother Tamerlan Tsarnaev planted bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.
The bombings killed three people and reportedly injured as many 264 others.
On May 15, 2015, a Boston U.S. federal court jury verdict resulted in a death-sentence verdict for Tsarnaev for his crimes.
He and his family immigrated to the United States as refugees in 2002.
Tsarnaev was a student at University of Massachusetts Dartmouth.
He had become a naturalized U.S. citizen on  September 11, 2012.
During the bombings, on April 19, there was a shootout between police and the Tsarnaev brothers.
MBTA police officer was critically injured in the course of Tsarnaev's escape in the SUV Tsarnaev was injured but escaped.
On the evening of April 19, the heavily wounded Tsarnaev was found unarmed hiding in a boat on a trailer in Watertown just outside the police perimeter.
He was arrested and taken to a hospital.
It was later reported that he was persuaded to surrender when the FBI negotiators mentioned a public plea from his former wrestling coach.
He was convicted on April 8, 2015, and was sentenced to death on May 15, 2015.
Tsarnaev allegedly later said during questioning that they next intended to detonate explosives in Times Square in New York City.
Tsarnaev reportedly also said to authorities that he and his brother were radicalized, at least in part, by watching Anwar al-Awlaki lectures.

Catholic Christian Outreach Canada (CCO) is a group of Catholics who do missionary work at universities in Canada.
They try to teach students three things: How to have a close friendship with Jesus
How to be good Catholics
How to be leaders and missionaries.
André and Angèle Regnier started CCO in 1988 at the University of Saskatchewan.
The Regniers were part of an Evangelical Protestant group called Campus Crusade for Christ.
They saw that other people in this group were excited about being Christians.
They wanted Catholics to be excited about their religion too.
They found a group of Catholics called the Catholic Charismatic Renewal who were already trying to do this.
This group showed them how to get Catholics to be excited about their religion.
The Regniers and their parish priest started CCO so that they could teach university students at the University of Saskatchewan about their religion and how to teach others about it too.
Expansion of CCO
CCO began with only four missionaries at the University of Saskatchewan.
As of August 2013, it had more than 70 missionaries at eleven universities.
CCO plans to start doing missionary work on 20 new universities between 2008 and 2028.
CCO does not work at these universities any more.
CCO runs a conference called "Rise Up" every year.
It is one of the largest conferences for young Catholics in Canada.
The largest Rise Up was in Ottawa in 2013.
There were 850 people there.
The conference happens every year from December 28 to January 1.
At Rise Up, there are presentations, workshops, songs, prayers in front of the Eucharist, confession, and a big dinner and dance on New Year's Eve.
CCO runs Rise Up because they want people to become closer to Jesus.
They also want to help people become excited about telling other people about their religion.
Mission Projects
CCO runs many missions.
Some of them are in Canada and some of them are in other countries.
CCO often sends students and missionaries to World Youth Day.
IMPACT Canada
There is a mission that happens every year called IMPACT.
Students from across Canada go to one city for a summer of missionary work.
They live together and work in teams at various parishes, where they lead faith studies and run retreats and special events.
IMPACT also has a weekly event called Cornerstone that involves skits, songs, testimonies, and Catholic teaching, a Courageous Catholic program that teaches people how to share their faith, and a monthly Summit event involving songs, prayers in front of the Eucharist, and confession.
IMPACT has happened in the following
Methods and Materials
Students involved with CCO lead and attend weekly faith studies at the university.
These faith studies help students learn more about their religion and how they can live it out.
The studies are based on the Bible, the Catechism of the Catholic Church, and other Christian writings.
They also use many analogies, a way of explaining things simply.
There are five studies called Discovery, Source, Growth, Obedience, and Commission.
CCO wrote a small book The Ultimate Relationship to teach people the basic parts of the Christian religion.
Tamerlan Anzorovich Tsarnaev (Тамерла́н Анзо́рович Царна́ев ; October 21, 1986 – April 19, 2013) and his brother Dzhokhar Tsarnaev planted bombs at the Boston Marathon on April 15, 2013.
The bombings killed three people and reportedly injured as many as 264 others.
Shortly after the Federal Bureau of Investigation declared them suspects in the bombings and released images of them, the Tsarnaev brothers killed an MIT police officer, carjacked an SUV.
They soon engaged in a shootout with the police in the Boston suburb of Watertown.
According to the police, during the shootout Tamerlan was captured, but died partly as a result of his brother driving over him.
He was 26 years old.
Organisation of the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily was established in Moscow in 1922 by the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) for matters concerned with philately and bonds.
An old Bolshevik Feodor Chuchin headed this organisation.
To help finance the Central Famine Relief Committee (POMGOL), VTsIK decided to sell abroad postage stamps of Imperial Russia and the newly formed governments of the Civil War period.
The idea was to obtain hard currency for them.
Feodor Chuchin was named in 1921 the POMGOL commissioner for matters pertaining to stamp donations.
In March 1922, the Organisation of the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily was set up.
Chuchin was appointed to supervise its activities in Soviet Russia and abroad.
The sale of stamps and paper money was profitable:
The Organisation of the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily  existed till 1926 and was superseded by the Soviet Philatelic Association.

Veneridae is a family of clams, with over 500 described species, in twelve subfamilies.
They are commonly called Venus clams.
They are bivalve molluscs.
Many are edible and used as seafood.
Venus clams occur in all seas of the world.
Most live near the shore, preferably in areas with sandy bottoms.
Hinge teeth are part of the inner surface of the shell of a bivalve mollusc.
Bivalves by definition have two valves (parts of the shell).
They are joined together by a strong and flexible ligament on the hinge line at the dorsal (top) edge of the shell.
In life, the shell needs to be able to open slightly to allow the foot and siphons to protrude, and then close again, without the valves moving out of alignment with one another.
To make this possible, the two valves usually have hinge teeth (the "dentition").
Like the ligament, the hinge teeth are along the hinge line of the shell.
Each group of bivalves tends to have distinctive hinge teeth.
Because of this, examining the arrangement of the hinge teeth in a bivalve shell is often essential for identification and classification.
The other great shelled phylum, the brachiopods, also has a group with hinge teeth.
In the traditional classification, the Articulata have toothed hinges between the valves.
In the Inarticulata the two parts of the shell are held together only by muscles.87–93
Stotting (or pronking) is a behaviour of some bovines, particularly gazelles.
They spring into the air, and lift all four feet off the ground simultaneously.
Usually, the legs are held in a relatively stiff position and the back may be arched with the head pointing downward.
Many explanations of stotting have been proposed.
At least in some cases it is an honest signal to predators that the stotting animal is not worth pursuing.
Some possible explanations
Stotting makes a prey animal more visible and uses up energy and time that could be spent escaping.
Therefore, it is assumed that it must bring some benefit to the stotting animal.
A number of possible explanations have been proposed.
Stotting may be:
A good means of rapid escape or jumping over obstructions.
This cannot be true in Thomson's gazelles because they do not stot when a predator is less than about 40 m away.
An anti-ambush behaviour: animals in tall grass may leap into the air to detect potential predators.
An alarm signal to other members of the herd that a predator is hazardously close thereby increasing the survival rate of the herd.
A social behaviour, making it more difficult for a predator to target any individual during an attack (much like the suggestion that zebra stripes cause motion dazzle).
An honest signal of the animal's fitness.
Stotting could be a way of deterring pursuit by warning a predator of the animal's unsuitability as prey: the prey benefits by not being chased (because it is in fact very fit); the predator benefits by not wasting time chasing an animal it is unlikely to catch.
An instance of Amotz Zahavi's handicap principle: stotting is signalling to predators that the animal is so fit it can escape even if it slows itself down with some apparently useless behaviour (i.e. stotting).
A predator detection signal: the animal signals to the predator that it has been seen and therefore does not have the advantage of surprise.
Many such signals exist in different groups of animals.
Again, this would be an honest pursuit deterrence signal, benefiting the prey by not being chased and benefitting the predator by not wasting time stalking prey when it has already been seen.
Evidence for this hypothesis is that cheetahs abandon more hunts when their gazelle prey stots, and when they do give chase to a stotting gazelle, they are far less likely to make a kill.
However, gazelles stot less often to cheetahs (which stalk and would therefore probably give up when detected) than to African wild dogs, which "course" (chase prey relentlessly, not relying on surprise).
A fitness display to potential mates in a sexual selection process rather than a defence against predators.
Play, especially in young animals, may help to prepare them for adult life.
Stotting is sometimes observed in immature animals, but stotting is generally seen in adult prey responding to predators.
The English evolutionary biologist John Maynard Smith concludes that "the natural explanation is that stotting is an index of condition and of escape capability", used as a signal especially to coursing predators.
He also observes that "it is hard to see how it could be a handicap", unless perhaps it is a signal to other gazelles of the same species.
The green economy is defined as an economy that results in reducing environmental risks and ecological scarcities.
It aims for sustainable development without degrading the environment.
The 2011 UNEP Green Economy Report argues "that to be green, an economy must not only be efficient, but also fair.
Fairness implies recognising global and country level equity dimensions, particularly in assuring a just transition to an economy that is low-carbon, resource efficient, and socially inclusive."
Renewable energy i.e., Sustainable energy such as Solar energy and Wind energy.
Green buildings i.e., Eco-friendly constructions and practices.
Sustainable transport i.e., Electric vehicle, Hybrid vehicle
Water management i.e., Water coservation and recycling.
Waste management i.e.,  Reusing the waste and improving Carbon footprint.
For example, sustainable fashion.
Land management i.e., Sustainable development of land in terms of farming, forestation, housing etc.
In 2012, the ICC published the Green Economy Roadmap.
It states that a shift towards a green economy requires the following:
Open and competitive markets
Metrics, accounting, and reporting
Finance and investment
Life cycle approach
Resource efficiency and decoupling
Education and skills
Governance and partnership
Integrated policy and decision-making
A number of organisations and individuals have criticised aspects of the 'Green Economy'.
The research organisation ETC Group argues that the corporate emphasis on a biobased economy "will spur even greater convergence of corporate power and unleash the most massive resource grab in more than 500 years."
Venezuelan professor Edgardo Lander says that the UNEP's report, Towards a Green Economy, while well-intentioned "ignores the fact that the capacity of existing political systems to (regulate and restrict)... is seriously limited by the political and financial power of the corporations."
Ulrich Hoffmann, in a paper for UNCTAD also says that the focus on Green Economy and "green growth" in particular, "based on an evolutionary (and often reductionist) approach will not be sufficient to cope with the complexities of climate change".
He added it "may rather give much false hope and excuses to do nothing really fundamental that can

They are marketed through the Dodge division of Chrysler.
Several different vehicles built on at least three different chassis have had the Charger name.
1966 through 1968
The Dodge Charger first premiered with the 1966 models.
Dodge added a fastback roof on their Coronet (B-body).
Inside there were four bucket seats with a full length console.
Engines included the 318 cid (cubic inch displacement), the 361 cid, 383 cid and a 426 Hemi.
Transmissions included a three-speed manual, four-speed manual and Torqueflite automatic.
In 1968 the Charger was restyled to improve sales.
But as the muscle car era was nearly over, sales went down.
1975 through 1978
Dodge introduced the Charger SE in 1975.
It was a clone of the Chrysler Cordoba.
Like the Cordoba it was a luxury car.
The base engine was the 360 cid.
The 318 cid and the 400 cid engines were optional.
A new  new Charger Daytona model was available with larger tires.
It had no resemblance to the NASCAR Daytona Charger.
In 1975 Dodge chargers won 14 NASCAR Grand National races.
But they did it in 1974 Chargers.
The 1975 Chargers were just too heavy.
In 1978 Chrysler was facing financial troubles.
Lee Iacocca turned Chrysler around and by 1983 the company was making money again.
2006 to 2014
The Dodge Charger was re-introduced in 2006.
The new Charger is a four-door sedan.
It rides on the new rear-wheel drive LX platform sharing similarities with the Chrysler 300.
In 2011 the next generation was launched.
The styling of the 2011 was like the late 1960s muscle car Chargers.
The Pentastar 3.6 liter V6 was the base engine.
The 292 hp V6 engine got 21 mpg city and 31 mpg on the highway using an 8-speed automatic transmission.
The combination could move the Charger from 0-60 mph in 6.6 seconds.
It was available in rear-wheel drive or  all-wheel drive.

Reykjavík-Keflavík Airport (also called Keflavik Airport) is the largest and busiest airport in Iceland.
It is the country's main hub for international flights.
The airport is  west of the Icelandic capital, Reykjavík.
The airport has three runways.
Most international flights to or from Iceland pass through this airport.
The main airlines at Keflavík are Icelandair and WOW Air.
Both make the airport their main hub.
The airport handles almost all international flights.
Most domestic flights are flown from Reykjavík Airport.
It is only  from Reykjavík.
Keflavík Airport is operated by Isavia, a government enterprise.
US Military
Until World War II Iceland had very little contact with the United States.
Because of the strategic importance of Iceland to the war in Europe The US and Iceland signed a treaty in June 1941.
The Americans built military bases on land provided by Iceland.
Construction on the airport began on 2 July 1942.
It was occupied by US troops on 24 March 1943 and named Meeks field.
After the war the US wanted to keep their bases but the Icelandic government said no.
Ownership of Keflavik airport was returned to Iceland while the American military turned over their facilities to an American company to run for them.
When Iceland joined the North Atlantic Treaty Organization in 1949, they sided firmly with the Americans in the Cold War.
In 1951 a new treaty was signed and the American military returned to Iceland.
During the cold war the Icelandic bases were used for surveillance in the North Atlantic.
In the 1990s, with the end of the cold war, the US scaled back its operations in Iceland.
In 2006 it closed down its base at Keflavik.
Keflavik
During the 1950s two airlines served Iceland.
Loftleidir Icelandic flew between Luxembourg and New York stopping in Iceland.
The other carrier was Flugfelag Islands.
They flew to Europe from Reykjavik.
Sometime after the start of the jet age both moved to Keflavik.
The two companies later joined together as “Icelandair”.
In April 1987, the airport got the "Leifur Eiriksson International Air Terminal".
It was remodeled and extended in 2001.
When the US military left in 2006, the government owned company ISAVIA took over control.
The company operates all airports and navigational aids in Iceland.
Leifur Eiríksson terminal
According to an article in USA Today, Leifur Eiriksson Air Terminal was ranked second best in the world.
According to Frommers.com "Iceland's cozy, little international airport looks like it arrived in a flat pack from Ikea".
The airport has beautiful views of the rugged Islandic landscape.
The Leifur Eiríksson Terminal is well lit, clean and easy to navigate for travelers.
It is open 24 hours a day.
The tax-free and duty-free shops are available both for arriving and departing passengers.

Pontiac G6 was a mid-sized automobile sold by the Pontiac division of General Motors.
It was available as a coupe, sedan or convertible.
The G6 was introduced in 2005 to replace the Grand Am.
The last model year for the G6 was 2010.
It was unchanged from the 2009 model.
General Motors declared bankruptcy in 2009 and Pontiac division was discontinued.
The 2010 G6 was the very last U.S. built Pontiac.
Iceland Express was a low-cost airline from Iceland.
Reykjavík-Keflavík Airport used to be their main hub.
WOW Air bought the airline in 2012.
Braniff International Airways was an American airline.
The company started in 1928.
The first flight was between Oklahoma City and Tulsa, Oklahoma on 20 June 1928.
Called the Paul R. Braniff Inc. Airline, it set up service between Oklahoma City and Tulsa three days a week.
During World War II it lost half it's fleet to government service.
After the war, Braniff began flying to South America.
It served Brazil, Argentina, Columbia and Peru.
Braniff became the first all-jet airline in 1960.
After the airline deregulation of 1978, Braniff found the air fare competition cut into profits.
The recession had caused fewer passengers.
Braniff found itself with too many air routes.
With rising interest rates and fuel prices, the company debt became a major problem.
Braniff declared bankruptcy in 1982.
Its last flight was on May 12, 1982.
The Early Dynastic Period of Egypt began when Lower and Upper Egypt were joined together as one country in about 3100 BC.
This was called the Two Lands.
The First and Second Dynasties ruled during this time.
It ended in about 2686 BC, at the beginning of the Old Kingdom.
The capital city of the Two Lands was moved from Thinis to Memphis.
The united Egypt was ruled by an Egyptian god-king.
The main features of ancient Egyptian civilization, such as art, architecture and religion, took shape during this time.
Before the Early Dynastic Period, Egypt was settled with small, separate villages.
The rulers were able to set up a government system across the whole country, run by local royal governors.
Government buildings were usually open-air temples made of wood or sandstone.
Writing, in hieroglyphs began to be used just before this period.
Little is known about the spoken language.
Cultural development
By about 3600 BC, neolithic Egyptian societies on the River Nile were growing crops and farming with animals.
Shortly after 3600 BC Egyptian society began to grow and advance rapidly.
They made pottery in a new style and began using copper.
The Egyptians began using sun-dried bricks for building.
They also started using the arch, and recessed walls for decorative effect.
The societies and towns on the upper Nile River, or Upper Egypt began to join together.
This was also happening in the Nile Delta, or Lower Egypt.
There were often wars between Upper and Lower Egypt.
During his rule in Upper Egypt, King Narmer defeated his enemies on the Delta.
He joined the Kingdom of Upper and Lower Egypt together under his rule.
Narmer is shown in pictures wearing the double crown, called the Pschent, with the lotus flower of Upper Egypt and the papyrus reed of Lower Egypt.
These symbols of a united Egypt were used by all future rulers.
In mythology, the falcon-god, Horus of Lower Egypt, won a battle over the god Seth, of Upper Egypt.
This helped start the idea that Egyptian kings were gods and divine, which lasted for 3,000 years.
It was the basis of Egypt's government.
The unification of societies of the Nile has also been linked to the drying of the Sahara.
Rich people began to have more complex funeral practices.
The Egyptians began building mastabas which became models for later buildings, such as the Old Kingdom's Step pyramid.
The growing of cereal crops and the use of central control to organize farm workers helped the success of the state for the next 800 years.
It seems certain that Egypt was unified culturally and economically long before its first king ruled from the city of Memphis.
Political unification was a slow process, taking place over a century or so.
Local areas started trading networks and governments were able to organize farm workers on a large scale.
Divine kingship gained importance as the cults of gods like Horus, Seth and Neith spread across the country.
The Egyptian writing system was further developed.
At first Egyptian writing was a few symbols showing amounts of various items.
By the end of the third dynasty it had been grown to more than 200 symbols, both phonograms and ideograms.
First Pharaoh
Manetho, an Egyptian historian, said almost three thousand years later that Menes was the first king of the Two Lands.
Menes is probably Narmer, the earliest recorded king of the First Dynasty Narmer's name is on the king lists of Den and Qa'a.
The first dynasty kings saw Narmer as an important founding figure.
Narmer is also the earliest king linked to the symbols of power over the two lands.
The Narmer palette, a special cosmetic palette designed for ritual use, shows him wearing the Pschent, the double crown of Upper and Lower Egypt.
Another theory is that Narmer was the last king of the Protodynastic Period and that Menes was Hor-Aha.
In geometry, an Archimedean solid is a convex shape which is composed of polygons.
It is a polyhedron, with the following properties:
Each face is made of a regular polygon
All the corners of the shape look the same
The shape is neither a platonic solid, nor a prism, nor an antiprism.
Depending on the way there are counted, there are thirteen or fifteen such shapes.
Of two of these shapes, there are two versions, which cannot be made congruent using rotation.
The Archimedean solids are named after the Ancient Greek mathematician Archimedes, who probably discovered them in the 3rd century BC.
The writings of Archimedes have been lost, but  Pappus of Alexandria summarized them in the 4th century.
During the Renaissance, artists and mathematicians valued pure forms and rediscovered all of these forms.
Johannes Kepler probably completed this search around 1620.
Archimedean solids are made of regular polygons, therefore all edges have the same length.
All Archimedean solids can be produced from Platonic solids, by "cutting the edges" of the platonic solid.
The type of polygons meting at a corner ("vertex") characterizes both the archimedean and platonic solid

Gigablast is a small web search engine based in New Mexico.
It was started by Matt Wells in 2000 and was part of Infoseek.
Two early philatelic public entities existed in the Soviet Union.
These were All-Russian Society of Philatelists (created in 1922) and Philatelic International (or Filintern organised in 1924).
In July 1924, an "All-Union Philatelic Association of Socialist Soviet Republics" was formed.
It was called the "State Philatelic Organization".
This association was entrusted to Feodor Chuchin.
He also supervised another state body, Organisation of the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily.
The All-Union Philatelic Association ceased to exist soon after.
It lacked a published decree of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee (VTsIK) and RSFSR Sovnarkom.
On 25 October 1926, a new association was established in Moscow by VTsIK and Sovnarkom decree.
It replaced the Organisation of the Commissioner for Philately and Scripophily.
SFA sold Soviet stamps to foreign dealers, Soviet philatelists, and schoolboys.
These latter glued their stamps into school notebooks because of a lack of stamp albums.
The SFA organ was the journal Sovetskii Filatelist (Soviet Philatelist).
It has about 4,300 species, all polyps, generally with 6-fold symmetry.
It includes all the stony corals, most of which are colonial and reef-forming.
It also contains the sea anemones, tube anemones, and zoanthids, in six living orders.
The Hexacorallia are distinguished from the other subclass of Anthozoa, the Octocorallia, because they have six or less axes of symmetry in their body structure and only single rows of tentacles.
They are formed of individual soft polyps which in some species live in colonies and secrete a calcite skeleton.
As with all Cnidarians, these organisms have a complex life cycle including a mobile planktonic phase  and a later sessile phase.
Hexacorallia also include the extinct orders of the rugose corals and tabulate corals.
They built the coral reefs of the Palaeozoic era.
In fact, there are a total of eight extinct orders of the Hexacorallia, which shows it has always been an important group of marine organisms.
In geometry an antiprism is a polyhedron.
It is made of two copies of a regular polygon.
These polygons are connected using an alternating band of triangles.
To connect an n-sided polygon, 2n triangles are needed.
Antiprisms are similar to prisms, but prisms use parallelograms for the bands at the side.
A right antiprism uses a right angle to connect the base polygons to the band of triangles.
A uniform antiprism uses equilateral triangles as base surfaces.
