Aquatic locomotion is animals and other organisms moving through water.
The surface of the world is mostly covered with water, and all major animal phyla started life in the water.
The earliest fossils we have are those of stromatolites, which are mat-like structures formed by photosynthetic bacteria in the sea.
Even animals which evolved on land have often returned to the water, even though they usually continue to breath air.
There are aquatic insects, reptiles, mammals and birds.
We don't quite know when the first animals and plants evolved, but some guesstimates have been made.
Acritarchs are present from about 3200 to 1400 million years ago to the present.
That's a wide time-range which means we cannot be sure when they evolved.
They seem to have been grazed (eaten) by some early forms of life.
Probably some kind of protist developed using existing life forms as food.
Locomotion is needed to find the right place in the seas, and to eat and avoid being eaten.
All advanced forms of life, and many primitive forms of life, use locomotion.
Propulsion systems
The simplest propulsive systems evolved in microorganisms.
Cilia and flagella are used.
Swimming has evolved a number of times in more complex life-forms.
Examples include arthropods, fish, molluscs, reptiles, birds, and mammals.
Ciliates have hundreds or thousands of small flagella called cilia to move through the water.
Certain organisms such as bacteria and animal sperm have a flagellum to move in liquid environments.
All aquatic invertebrates swim at some stage in their lives, and many swim for their entire life.
All jellyfish swim by pulsing their cup-shaped bodies.
Crustaceans swim with their legs.
Some molluscs swim all their lives, some only as larvae.
Squid and octopods swim quite vigorously by 'jet propulsion'.
They squirt water out to move.
There are a very large number of insects which are aquatic as larvae or adults.
Almost all use their legs for swimming.
They are air-breathing, and carry air with them as they swim.
The air they get from the surface of the water, and take it down with them.
Usually, the air is trapped among dense hairs on their surfaces.
13 orders of insects have aquatic stages, including all mayflies and dragonflies, and many beetles, bugs, and flies.
The Church of North India (CNI) is a major Protestant denomination in northern India.
It is a united church established on 29 November 1970 by bringing together the main Protestant churches working in northern India; it is a province of the worldwide Anglican Communion.
It is one of the three successors of the Church of England in South Asia, the others being the Church of Pakistan and the Church of South India.
The merger resulted from discussions begun in 1929; it came eventually between the Church of India, Pakistan, Burma and Ceylon (Anglican), the United Church of Northern India (Congregationalist and Presbyterian), the Baptist Churches of Northern India (British Baptists), the Church of the Brethren in India, which withdrew in 2006, the Methodist Church (British and Australian Conferences) and the Disciples of Christ denominations.

Enrique wants to adapt Ignacio’s story into a movie.
But Ángel's condition is that he play the part of Zahara, the transgender lead.
However, Enrique is skeptical.
He feels the Ignacio he loved and the Ignacio of today are totally different people.

The Tokyo subway sarin attack ( was an act of domestic terrorism on 20 March 1995, in Tokyo, Japan, by members of the cult movement Aum Shinrikyo.
13 people were killed.
The group had already carried out several assassinations and terrorist attacks using sarin, including the Matsumoto sarin attack nine months earlier.

The signal recognition particle (SRP) is a common molecule found in cytoplasm.
It is a ribonucleoprotein (a protein-RNA complex).
It recognizes and targets specific proteins to the endoplasmic reticulum of eukaryotes and the plasma membrane of prokaryotes.
When the SRP-ribosome complex binds to a cell membrane receptor, SRP releases the ribosome and drifts away.
The ribosome resumes protein synthesis, but now the protein is moving through the SRP-receptor transmembrane pore.
So, SRP directs the movement of proteins within the cell.
It binds with a transmembrane pore.
This allows the protein to cross the membrane to where it is needed.
In eukaryotes, the target is the membrane of the endoplasmic reticulum (ER).
The SRP is 'universally conserved'.
That means it is so important that all living things have it in their cells.
Despite this, the actual composition of the SRP varies greatly between organisms.
General Secretary Xi Jinping important speech series is a book of the sayings of Xi Jinping, the current General Secretary of the Communist Party of China, published in 2014 and 2016.
The book is a collection of quotations taken from Xi Jinping's speeches.
The book was written by Party's Publicity Department and published by official People's Publishing House and Study Publishing House.
Party's Organization Department ordered to communist staffs and university students must study this book and learn General Secretary's talking spirit.
It includes "protecting an agency's intelligence program against an opposition's intelligence service".
It refers to information gathered and steps taken to counter espionage.
Other intelligence activities are taken to prevent sabotage, or assassinations by foreign powers, organizations or persons.
Activities are taken against international terrorist groups and personnel.
Work is done on physical, document or communications security programs.
Often counterintelligence at home is done by a different department from gathering intelligence abroad.
For example, in the United Kingdom, there is a distinction between the Security Service (MI5) and the Special Branch of the Metropolitan Police.
Arrests and interrogation is done by Special Branch.
Gathering intelligence abroad is done by MI6, the Secret Intelligence Service.
In theory, the USA has a similar division between foreign activities and homeland activities.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a domestic security service.
The CIA has no law enforcement function and does overseas intelligence gathering, with only limited domestic intelligence collection.
In practice, the set-up is much more complex, and ever-changing.
For one thing, the career of James Angleton and also the Watergate scandal shows how the CIA has been involved in mainland USA.
The addition of the United States Department of Homeland Security was a recognition that the United States was itself a potential target of attack by its various enemies.
Russia may have been the first country to set up an official counterintelligence organisation: the Okhrana was set up in 1880.
Its title 'Department for Protecting the Public Security and Order'.
sounds very modern.
There was an even earlier Russian security department called the 'Department on Protecting the Order and Public Peace'.
It would be fair to say that these Russian organisations were not directed towards foreign intelligence services, but against internal threats to public order.
They were part of the MVD (Ministry of the Interior).

The emperor Ashoka ordered it to be built,in the 3rd century BCE.
Its center was a simple dome-like brick structure built over the relics of the Buddha.
It was crowned by the chatra, a parasol-like structure symbolising high rank.
This structure was intended  to honour and shelter the relics.
The original construction work of this stupa was overseen by Ashoka, whose wife Devi was the daughter of a merchant of nearby Vidisha.
Sanchi was Devi's birthplace as well as the place of her wedding with Ashoka.
In the 1st century BCE, four elaborately carved toranas (ornamental gateways) and a balustrade encircling the entire structure were added.
The Sanchi Stupa built during Mauryan period was made of bricks.
The composite flourished until the 11th century.
Sanchi is the center of a region with a number of stupas including Satdhara (17 km from Sanchi, 40 stupas, the Relics of Sariputra and Mahamoggallana, now enshrined in the new Vihara, were unearthed there), Morel Khurd (on a fortified hilltop with 60 stupas), Andher (17 km NE of Vidisha), Mawas, Sonari etc.

The Alcubierre drive or Alcubierre warp drive is an idea for a faster-than-light travel engine.
The Mexican theoretical physicist Miguel Alcubierre created this idea using Albert Einstein's field equations in general relativity.
The main principle of this idea is by creating an energy-density field lower than that of a vacuum (that is, negative mass) to make the space in front of the ship contract and the space behind the ship expand.
In theory, this would create a bubble in space-time around the craft, allowing it to stay still while the space around it moves.
This would effectively avoid breaking Einstein's rule that no object in our universe may go as fast or faster than the speed of light, while still allowing an object to go to another very distant part of space much faster than light.
