Arc flash is an accidental electrical explosion usually caused by a short circuit.
It usually happens at higher-voltages (around 300 volts and above).
It can cause the electrical conductors to melt creating an explosion of molten or even vaporized metal.
Temperatures can be as high as 20000 degrees Celsius.
Arc flash is one of the reasons it is so important to turn the power off before working on any high-voltage equipment.

During the Roman empire, the taurobolium referred to practices involving the sacrifice of a bull, which after mid-2nd century became connected with the worship of the Great Mother of the Gods; though not previously limited to her cult, after 159 AD all private inscriptions mention Magna Mater (the Roman name for the goddess Cybele).
Originating in Asia Minor, its earliest attested performance in Italy occurred in 134 AD.
At the taurobolium ritual, the high-priest would stand inside a pit made specifically for the purpose of the ritual, a bull would be led above the pit and sacrificed above him, the blood of the bull would pour down onto the priest, showering him in the blood.
After this, the bulls testicles were removed and taken to the sanctuary as an offering.
This ritual was done as a replacement for the castration of high-priests, this was because castration of male Roman citizens was forbidden in Rome.

Mystery fiction (story, book, novel) is fictional work in which a professional or amateur detective investigates and solves a crime mystery.
Usually the story begins with a crime and a few suspects, and ends when the protagonist detective identifies the criminal.
The nematodes or roundworms are  one of the most diverse of all animal phyla.
They are one of the protostome phyla.
Nematode species look very similar to one another.
Over 80,000 have been described, of which over 15,000 are parasitic.
It has been estimated that the total number of described and undescribed roundworms might be more than 500,000.
The body structure is fairly constant.
A thick cuticle gives protection, and acts as a kind of hydrostatic skeleton.
Caenorhabditis elegans has had its genetics studied intensively, and had its genome analysed in 1998.
DNA sequence analysis of nematodes is quite advanced, including trees of species relationship.
Cell numbers in the organs are constant within a species.
Nematodes have a fixed, genetically determined number of cells, a phenomenon known as eutely.
The male C. elegans has 1031 cells, a number which does not change after cell division stops at the end of the larval period.
Growth is solely due to an increase in the size of individual cells.
A bromance is a close non-sexual relationship between two or more men, a form of homosocial intimacy.
Bromance is a portmanteau word of bro or brother and romance.
The word was created in the 1990s to describe the sort of relationships that develop between skateboarders who spend a great deal of time together.
Womance, also called sismance, is the female flip side of bromance.
It means a close non-sexual relationship between two or more women, a form of homosocial intimacy.
Turbatrix aceti (also called vinegar eels) is a species of nematode.
They feed on the acidic bacteria from vinegar and other things, like fermented apples.
They range from 1mm to 10mm long or larger.
These nematodes go through a six-stage life cycle.
The stages are: an egg, four larval stages, and reaching adulthood.
They live about 10 months.
The nematode's reproductive system is sexual.
Female vinegar eels have ovaries and produce eggs.
Their reproductive system is in the form of a tube.
The females also have a short sac-like seminal receptacle that stores sperm.
A fertilized egg hatches in the uterus before leaving the womb.
Vinegar eels give birth to as many as 45 babies every 8-10 days.
A male vinegar eels’ reproductive system is smaller than the female’s.
They have testis and a vas deferens.
The testes open into a wide sperm duct and then into a muscular duct which can push out the sperm.
The duct empties into a  cloaca.
Nematodes, such as the vinegar eels, have no circulatory system.
Through their body’s wall, gas and excretion waste are diffused.
Oxygen from the outside environment is diffused into the body, and carbon dioxide is diffused out of the body.
Vinegar eels have to live in liquids that have enough oxygen so that it can diffuse into their bodies.
Experiments with T. aceti were done to understand the cause of ageing.
DNA damage accumulates when the rate of damage occurrence is more than the rate of DNA repair.
Accumulation of DNA damage leads to a decline in gene expression.
There is a consistent decline in DNA repair capacity with age in the nematode.
A second report measured the ability to repair DNA damage in young and old nematodes after exposure to ionizing radiation.
They observed that the old nematodes were strikingly less able to carry out this type of DNA repair than young nematodes.
These experiments suggest that a decline in DNA repair capability occurs with age.
This is the "DNA damage theory of aging".

Ribalonga (from the Gallician riba - 'climb' and longa - 'long') is a Portuguese parish in the north of the Municipality of Alijó, in ‘Trás-dos-montes’ (‘behind the hills’).
It has a population of 231 (2011) and an area of 9,15 km2 (density : 25,2/km2).
Its patron saint is Saint Anna, mother of Saint Mary and therefore, grandmother of Jesus.
Legend of the red cross
The legend tells that in the year 2000, a man of the family Sampaio, whose descendants still live in the village, coming from the fair of Vilar de Maçada, brought with him some meat.
Suddenly, he was followed by a pack of wolves and he became very scared, because he realized that the wolves were very hungry.
When he arrived near the village, the wolves began to close the circle.
When he saw himself lost, he got off his horse and knelt and asked the Lord of the Afflicted to save him from the wolves.
At this moment, the dogs in the house of Mr. Sampaio began barking anxiously and the wife of the man let them go.
They ran fast to the place where the man was and drove the wolves away.
In recognition, he built a cross where he asked the Lord to help.
A few days later, one of the dogs appeared, all hurt.
This cross can be seen today, a little bit degraded, on the place that has the name Red Cross and that is in the South of Ribalonga.
Legend of St. Ana
There is another legend of Ribalonga, referring to its place of St. Ana.
There is a huge rock, rectangular, with three grooves at the top, the head, the torso and the limbs of a person.
The legend tells that St. Ana, very tired and seeing no other place to lie down, took this rock to rest.
And so the stone became soft for her to be comfortable and cosy, taking the shape of her body.
And the next day, at dawn, her forces restored, she continued her journey.
After that, people began to pass the rock to go to work and, noticing the furrows, they were amazed.
Nobody knows how they came to the conclusion that it was St. Ana.
Was it because they were devotees?
No one can answer, the fact is that currently the village patron saint is St. Ana and  the hills and the land around the place where the famous rock is, are known as Santa Ana.
Ribalonga borders to Rapadoura, Vila Verde, Popúlo, Vilar de Maçada, Vila Chã and to the region of Douro.
It has a lot of mountains, hills, pines and it's very stony.
The cuisine of Ribalonga is based on meat.
There are a lot of different specialities like cozido à portuguesa ('Portuguese stew'), feijoada à transmontana (rice and black beans), alheiras or linguiças (both sausages).
There are a lot of fields and vineyards too.

Emperor Akihito visited the tower in advance of its official opening, and the opening ceremony took place on 22 May 2012.
With a height of , the Tokyo Skytree is the tallest structure in Japan.
This height was chosen because it could be easily remembered.
The figures 6 (mu), 3 (sa), 4 (shi) stand for Musashi Province, which is an old name of the region where the tower stands.
It is the second tallest structure in the world after Burj Khalifa in Dubai.
It is also the tallest tower in the world, according to the Council on Tall Buildings and Urban Habitat, because there is no space in the Skytree for people to live or work in, unlike the Burj Khalifa.
All of central Tokyo can be seen from special viewing platforms at  and .
At night, it is lit up with different coloured lights.

Grevenmacher is the capital city of the Grevenmacher canton and of the district of Grevenmacher.
The city is on the left bank of the Moselle river.
The name Grevenmacher is formed by two words: "Greven" and "Macher". "
Macher" comes from the Latin word maceria ("very old walls"); "Greven" comes from the old German word Grafen (modern German: Graf) that means "count, earl".
The town "Macher of the Count" was, since 1346, different from other "Machern" found in the region: Königsmacher, Kleinmacher, Rodemacher, Mecher, Mézières etc.
The present name of Grevenmacher has been in use since 1769.
The valley of the Moselle, which owes its wealth to the fact that it is close to the water and it has fertile land, was settled long before the Roman era.
As for Grevenmacher, the first town was behind the Holy Cross Chapel at the place called "Buerggruef", not far from the Roman road to the city of Luxembourg.
A few centuries later, the Counts of Luxembourg chose a safe place to protect their land against the powerful archbishops of Trier.
They found it in Grevenmacher, that was the place where the road going from the city of Luxembourg to Trier meet with the one going from Trier to Thionville.
Here a strong fortress was built, probably on the orders of Count Henry V. In 1252, this same count made Grevenmacher a city.
The commune of Grevenmacher, which is in the eastern part of the canton on the left bank of the Moselle river, has an area of , with  of forests and  of vineyards.
The altitude of the commune is  high.
At the church, the altitude  is  high.
The most important river is the Moselle (; German: Mosel; ).
There were 4,923 persons living in the commune in 2017, for a population density of  inhabitants/km².
"Huelen Zant", remains from an old castle;
Chapel "Saint-Croix" (this is French and means "holy cross");
The "Kelsbach", a beautiful piece of nature;
The "Jardin des papillons" (this is French again and means "garden of butterflies"), a building which contains a lot of butterflies and other insects;
The "Kulturhuef" which is a museum and a cinema.
The city has three soccer places, two in "Op Floor" (there is also the stadium from the CSG, the soccer club from Grevenmacher) and one on the bank from the Mousel.
The city has also six tennis fields, three in a hall and the other three on the bank of the Mousel.
Next to the tennis fields is an outdoor swimming pool.
Grevenmacher has also two sports halls.

The Ichneumonoidea are parasitoid wasps.
They are a superfamily in the suborder Apocrita.
The superfamily is made up of the ichneumon wasps, (family Ichneumonidae), and the braconids (family Braconidae).
The superfamily contains well over 80,000 different species.
Members of the family Ichneumonidae are usually larger than members of the Braconidae, and the family has three times as many species as the braconids.
The two families are distinguished mainly by details of wing venation.
Almost all are solitary insects, and most are parasitoids—the larvae feeding on or in another insect which finally dies.
Being in the same order, ichneumonoids are closely related to other hymenoptera such as ants and bees.
Many species in both families use polydnaviruses (with double strand DNA) to suppress the immune system of the host insect.
Some species use many different insects as hosts, others are very specific in host choice.
Various ichneumons are used successfully as biological control agents in controlling pests such as flies or beetles.
Ichneumon wasp species are highly varied, ranging from  to  long.
Most are slender, with the females of many species (particularly in the genus Megarhyssa) having an extremely long ovipositor for laying eggs.
The female finds a host and lays an egg on, near, or inside the host's body.
Upon hatching, the larval ichneumon feeds either externally or internally, killing the host when they themselves are ready to pupate.
Despite looking formidable, the ovipositor does not deliver a sting like many wasps or bees.
It can be used by the wasps to bore through rotten wood, and lay eggs in grubs hiding under the wood.

Information asymmetry is a concept in economics and contract theory.
It says that in any given contract the two parties of the contract do not have the same information.
Information economics is a field of science that looks at some of the problems that result from this bias.
Neoclassical economics assumes there is perfect information: all the actors know all the states of their environment; they can also observe what all the other actors do.
Information is free -it has no cost in the economic sense.
This is also true for the ability to observe the other parties.
Hidden characteristics: Certain features of the products are not known before the contract is made.
Hidden action and hidden information: After the contract is made, one of the actors' actions cannot be observed (hidden action); if it can be observed, its qualities cannot be determined (hidden information)
Hidden intention: Before the contract is made, all the actors can be observed, but their intentions cannot be known.
SWV (Sisters with Voices) are an African American female group that sing R&B music.

Simpson's paradox is a paradox from statistics.
It is named after Edward H. Simpson, a British statistician who first described it in 1951.
The statistician Karl Pearson described a very similar effect in 1899.-  Udny Yule's description dates from 1903.
Sometimes, it is called the Yule–Simpson effect.
When looking at the statistical scores of groups, these scores may change, depending on whether the groups are looked at one by one, or if they are combined into a larger group.
This case often occurs in social sciences and medical statistics.
It may confuse people, if frequency data is used to explain a causal relationship.
Other names for the paradox include   reversal paradox and amalgamation paradox.
Example: Kidney stone treatment
The paradoxical conclusion is that treatment A is more effective when used on small stones, and also when used on large stones, yet treatment B is more effective when considering both sizes at the same time.
In this example, it was not known that the size of the kidney stone influenced the result.
This is called a hidden variable (or lurking variable) in statistics.
Which treatment is considered better is determined by an inequality between two ratios (successes/total).
The reversal of the inequality between the ratios, which creates Simpson's paradox, happens because two effects occur together:
The sizes of the groups, which are combined when the lurking variable is ignored, are very different.
Doctors tend to give the severe cases (large stones) the better treatment (A), and the milder cases (small stones) the inferior treatment (B).
Therefore, the totals are dominated by groups three and two, and not by the two much smaller groups one and four.
The lurking variable has a large effect on the ratios, i.e. the success rate is more strongly influenced by the severity of the case than by the choice of treatment.
Therefore, the group of patients with large stones using treatment A (group three) does worse than the group with small stones, even if the latter used the inferior treatment B (group two).

Patagonia is at the southern end of South America.
It is land shared by Argentina and Chile.
It has some of the most dramatic landscapes on Earth.
It has the southern section of the Andes mountains to the southwest towards the Pacific ocean.
It follows south through the Colorado River towards Carmen de Patagones in the Atlantic Ocean.
To the west, it includes the Valdivia through Tierra del Fuego archipelago.
The name Patagonia is from the word patagón used by Magellan in 1520.
The word was for the native people that his expedition thought to be giants.
Now people think the Patagons were actually Tehuelches.
They had an average height of 180 cm (~5′11″) compared to the 155 cm (~5′1″) average for Spaniards of the time.
The guanaco, the cougar, the Patagonian fox, the Patagonian hog-nosed skunk, and the Magellanic Tuco-tuco are the most common mammals of the Patagonian plains.
There are also many birds.
Southern Caracara, Austral parakeets, and Green-backed Firecrowns are some.
Waterfowl include Chilean Flamingo, Upland Goose, and steamer ducks.
Famous marine fauna include the southern right whale, the Magellanic Penguin, the orca and elephant seals.
The Valdés Peninsula is a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its importance as a nature reserve.
An omen is a sign that is thought to foretell the future, often signifying the advent of change.
The word can mean something either "good" or "bad" is about to happen.
The origin of the word is unknown, although it may be connected with the Latin word audire, meaning "to hear".
An example from the past, babies born with birth defects were believed to be a bad or evil omen.
