There are 99 counties in the U.S. state of Iowa.
The first two counties, Des Moines County and Dubuque County, were formed in 1834 when Iowa was still part of the Michigan Territory.
One of the most important days in Iowa county history was January 15, 1851, when 49 counties were created.
The Iowa Constitution of 1857, which is still in effect today, states that counties must have an area of at least .
No county be reduced below that size by badger changes.
Exceptions to this rule were granted, as ten counties have areas below this size.
The smallest county (Dickinson) has a land area of , while the largest (Kossuth) has an area 973sq mi (2,520 km²).
Polk County is the most densely populated county at 657 persons/sq mi, and contains the state's capital and largest city, Des Moines.

The Bridge of Sighs (Italian: Ponte dei Sospiri) is a small bridge in Venice,  northern Italy.
The bridge has walls and a roof.
It is made of white limestone and has windows with stone bars.
It passes over the Rio di Palazzo and connects the old prisons to the interrogation rooms in the Doge's Palace.
It was designed by Antoni Contino (whose uncle Antonio da Ponte had designed the Rialto Bridge), and built in 1602.
The view from the windows of the Bridge of Sighs was the last view of Venice that convicts saw before their imprisonment.
The bridge was named by Lord Byron in the 19th century.
It was thought that prisoners would sigh at their final view of beautiful Venice through the windows before being taken down to their cells.
In reality, the days of inquisitions and summary executions were over by the time the bridge was built and the cells under the palace roof were occupied mostly by small-time criminals.
In addition, little could be seen from inside the Bridge due to the stone grills covering the windows.

Super Cyclonic Storm Gonu was an extremely intense and very damaging storm.
The cyclone was the most intense recorded tropical cyclone in the Arabian Sea and the strongest named tropical cyclone recorded in the Indian Ocean.
Gonu developed on June 1 2007 over the northwest Indian Ocean and then intensified to Category 5 levels.
The storm then weakened and then struck eastern Oman on June 6, contributing to that region's worst modern natural disaster and causing around $4.2 billion in damage.
The cyclone also struck Iran, causing $216 million in damage.
Almost eighty people died from Cyclone Gonu.

In this university, he studied English and was a staff writer for The Hoya.
Nolan tells about successful work relationship with his brother in the production notes of The Prestige: "I’ve always suspected that it has something to do with the fact that he’s left-handed and I’m right-handed, because he’s somehow able to look at my ideas and flip them around in a way that’s just a little bit more twisted and interesting.
It’s great to be able to work with him like that."
On March 23, 2007, it was announced he would pen Interstellar, a science fiction film.
It is based on the theories of Kip Thorne, a theoretical physicist who is known for his theories in gravitation physics and astrophysics and for having trained a generation of scientists.

Afrikaner nationalism is a political ideology which was created in the 19th century in South Africa.
There is an ethnic group called Afrikaner in South Africa.
Afrikaner nationalism is the idea that the Afrikaner are "chosen people".
It says that Afrikaners who speak their language should unite to fight off foreign influences that come from  English-speaking settlers of South Africa, black people or Jews.
The historian T. Dunbar Moodie describes Afrikaner nationalism as a kind of civil religion that combined the history of the Afrikaners, their language and the Afrikaner Calvinism as key symbols.
A major proponent of the ideology was the secret Broederbond organization and the National Party that ruled the country from 1948 to 1994.
Other organisations aligned with the Afrikaner nationalistic ideology were the Federation of Afrikaans Cultural Organisations (Federasie van Afrikaanse Kultuurvereniginge , FAK), the Institute for Christian National Education and the White Workers' Protection Association.

Numerical analysis studies different algorithms to get approximations for  problems of mathematical analysis.
Approximations are used for the following reasons:
There are no known ways to solve a problem using calculus.
Examples for such problems are the Navier–Stokes equations or the Three-body problem
There is a way to solve a problem using calculus.
Getting an exact solution is impractical though, because it requires a long time, or many resources.
An example for this is calculating Power series.
One of the earliest known uses of numerical analysis is a Babylonian clay tablet, which approximates the square root of 2.
In a unit square, the diagonal has this length.
Being able to compute the sides of a triangle is extremely important, for instance, in carpentry and construction.
Numerical analysis continues this long tradition of practical mathematical calculations.
Much like the Babylonian approximation of , modern numerical analysis does not seek exact answers, because exact answers are often impossible to obtain in practice.
Instead, much of numerical analysis is concerned with obtaining approximate solutions while maintaining reasonable bounds on errors.
Numerical analysis naturally finds applications in all fields of engineering and the physical sciences, but in the 21st century, the life sciences and even the arts have adopted elements of scientific computations.
Ordinary differential equations appear in star movement; optimization occurs in portfolio management; numerical linear algebra is important for data analysis; stochastic differential equations and Markov chains are essential in simulating living cells for medicine and biology.
Computers greatly helped this task.
Before there were computers, numerical methods often depended on hand interpolation in large printed tables.
Since the mid 20th century, computers calculate the required functions instead.
These same interpolation formulas nevertheless continue to be used as part of the software algorithms for solving differential equations.

, also romanized as Nihombashi, is a business district of Chūō in Tokyo, Japan.
The district grew up around the bridge of the same name.
The bridge connects two sides of the Nihonbashi River.
A series of bridges at the same site have had the same name since the 17th century.
Traditionally, all distances in Japan are measured from the centerpoint of the Nihonbashi Bridge.
This custom began in the Edo period.
In the Edo period, the Nihonbashi Bridge was the start of Tōkaidō road which connected Edo and Kyoto.
The earliest Nihonbashi Bridge was made of wood.
It was completed in 1603.
The current bridge is made of stone.
It was completed in 1911.
1603 (Keichō 8): Wooden bridge built.
1605 (Keichō 10): The first official map of Japan was ordered with distances  measured from Nihonbashi.
1911 (Meiji 44): Bridge was re-built using stone.

The Federal Information Processing Standard (FIPS) code, which is used by the United States government to uniquely identify states and counties, is provided with each entry.
North Dakota's code is 38, which when combined with any county code would be written as 38XXX.
The U.S. state of South Carolina is made up of 46 counties.
This is the maximum allowable by state law.
In the colonial period, the land around the coast was divided into parishes.
The parishes matched the Church of England.
In 1800, all counties were renamed as districts.
In 1868, the districts were changed back to counties.
The South Carolina Department of Archives and History has maps that show the boundaries of counties, districts, and parishes starting in 1682.

Washington came from the western part of Washington Territory.
It was admitted to the Union as the 42nd state in 1889.
The first counties were created from unorganized territory in 1845.

In many domains of science, measurements are done.
If these measurements are drawn in a graph, they will be shown as simple unconnected points.
Such data are called data points, or discrete.
Handling and analysis of the data is easier, if it can be described using a continuous function, or a line connecting the discrete data point together.
In order to do this, the line between two measurements, or data points, need to be created.
This process of connecting the data points together with a line called interpolation.
There are different ways to invent the data,  each method has its benefits and drawbacks.
The simplest method is  drawing a straight line between two data points, which is not very accurate.
Very often,  polynomials are used  to create a more accurate representation.
Even if some of the data is wrong, in many cases,  the results of this interpolation are usable, either as a replacement for missing data points, or as a tool to help understand more complicated data.
Interpolation tries to find the values between two known points of data.
It is not to be confused with extrapolation, which is a similar process that tries to find data points at the edge or outside the currently defined points.
The primary use of interpolation is to help users, be they scientists, photographers, engineers or mathematicians, determine what data might exist outside of their collected data.
Outside the domain of mathematics, interpolation is frequently used to scale images and to convert the sampling rate of digital signals.
In the domain of science, a scientist may need to use a computer to calculate a complicated function.
However, if that function takes a very long time to compute, it may make her experiments difficult or impossible to run properly.
So, she might use interpolation to create a slightly less complicated version of her function, which takes less computational time and energy to run.
This interpolated function should achieve the same results as the more complex function, but will make some errors, or lose some detail as compared to the original function.
However, the reduced time and cost of running the interpolated function may make this trade-off worthwhile.
When an image is made larger, the existing pixels cannot simply be stretched, as you might stretch a rubber band.
Instead, new pixels must be created.
In order to "guess" what these pixels should look like, the software that enlarges the image uses interpolation.
The software first spreads out the existing pixels into the new image size, leaving many gaps and spaces.
Then, it examines the existing data (the original pixels) and then creates a function that describes the missing data (the new pixels) to create a new data set (the enlarged image).
Sometimes, the program does a poor job, and the resulting image is blurry or wrong in places.
These are called interpolation errors - the software did not correctly guess what the data should be.
But, overall, the image will look similar.
This is an example of the risks and benefits of interpolation - the user can see new data, but that data may not be perfect.
A gay icon is a prominent person (either living or dead) who is liked by the gay community.
Gay icons are often glamourous and even flamboyant.
They show strength through adversity.
They often show a blend of masculine and feminine traits.
Sometimes they show no gender traits at all.
Gay icons can be male or female.
They can be gay, straight, bisexual, or asexual.
If they are gay, they can be openly gay or not.
Sometimes living gay icons support LGBT causes, sometimes they do not.
Some gay icons from history are tragic figures like Saint Sebastian, Oscar Wilde, or Judy Garland.
Some more modern gay icons are entertainers like Ellen DeGeneres, Beyoncé, Lady Gaga,Cher, Barbra Streisand, Liza Minnelli, and Freddie Mercury.

The Afternoon of a Faun () is a modern  ballet.
It was choreographed by Nijinsky to a short symphonic work by Claude Debussy called Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.
Both the music and the ballet were inspired by the poem L'après-midi d'un faune by Stéphane Mallarmé.
It was Nijinsky's first choreographed work.
The ballet was first performed by Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in Paris at the Théâtre du Châtelet on 29 May 1912.
The costumes and sets were designed by Léon Bakst.
Nijinsky danced the role of the faun.
Grace Robert writes in The Borzoi Book of Ballet that Bakst was responsible for the choreography.
Nijinsky simply carried out his directions.
However, Nijinsky's sister alleged that Bakst and Diaghilev were not involved with the choreography and were admitted to rehearsals only in the last stages.
The truth will never be known; those involved are dead.
The choreography however caused a scandal, especially the ending.
Here, the Faun appears to climax upon a Nymph's scarf.
Gaston Calmette, the editor of Le Figaro, attacked the choreography on moral grounds.
Sculptor Auguste Rodin defended it.
The furor assured the public's interest in the ballet, then and now.
The first American performance occurred in New York City on January 17, 1916.
The Catholic Theatre Movement decided the ending should be modified.
The ending was duly altered.
Diaghilev told the head of the Metropolitan Opera House, "America is saved."
Thereafter, the ballet saw a variety of manifestations until 1936 when a close facsimile of the original was presented at the Metropolitan by Colonel W. de Basil's Ballets Russes.
Grace Robert believes the original ballet was produced as an aesthetic antidote to Isadore Duncan's copycats and their Greek dances.
Lincoln Kirstein describes the story: "A faun lolls on a hillock ... Seven nymphs in chain step shuffle past him ... Curious, the Faun descends to watch.
Curious, then alarmed, they flee, to return shyly.
The Faun tries to play with them, but they are frightened by this half-boy, half-beast.
The least shy ... returns; they link arms.
Contact frightens her; she escapes, dropping her scarf ... she is eager to stay, but the creature seems too theatening.
Leaping onto his rock, he carries her scarf ... Arching his body, he thrusts his length into it."

According to Jean-Jacques Rousseau, civil religion is the foundation that keeps modern society together.
It provides the state with sacred authority.
In his book The Social Contract Rousseau states the dogmas of civil religion:
life to come
the reward of virtue and the punishment of vice
the exclusion of religious intolerance.
There are 33 counties in the U.S. state of New Mexico.
First there were nine counties formed in 1852.

New Mexico's code is 35.
When added with any county code it would be written as 35XXX.
The Victoria Falls Bridge crosses the Zambezi River just below the Victoria Falls and is built over the Second Gorge of the falls.
The river is the border between Zimbabwe and Zambia.
The bridge has border posts on both ends, at the towns of Victoria Falls, Zimbabwe and Livingstone, Zambia.
The bridge was the idea of Cecil Rhodes.
It was part of his grand plan to build a railway from Cape Town to Cairo.
He never visited the falls and died before the building of the bridge began.
Rhodes told the engineers to "build the bridge across the Zambezi where the trains, as they pass, will catch the spray of the Falls".
It was designed by George Anthony Hobson, of consultants Sir Douglas Fox and Partners, not as is often stated, Sir Ralph Freeman, the same engineer who designed the Sydney Harbour Bridge.
Freeman, who also worked for Sir Douglas Fox and Partners, did the calculation of stresses for the bridge.
The bridge was built in England by the Cleveland Bridge & Engineering Company.
It was then shipped to the Mozambique port of Beira and  transported on the newly built railway to the Victoria Falls.
It took just 14 months to put together and was completed in 1905.
The bridge was officially opened by Professor George Darwin, son of Charles Darwin, and President of the British Association (now the Royal Society) on 12 September 1905.
The American Society of Civil Engineers lists the bridge as a Historic Civil Engineering Landmark.
Made from steel, the bridge is  long, with a main arch spanning .
It is  above the lower water level of the river in the gorge below.
The bridge is the only rail link between Zambia and Zimbabwe, and one of only three road links between the two countries.
The other road links are at Chirundu Bridge and Kariba Dam.
The Victoria Falls Bridge did not bring the first train or the first railway to Zambia.
In order build the railway north as fast as possible, Cecil Rhodes wanted the Livingstone to Kalomo line built before the bridge was finished.
A locomotive was carried in pieces across the gorge by the temporary electronic cableway used to carry the bridge materials.
The cableway was called the 'Blondin' by the bridge engineers.
The locomotive was put back together and started work months before the bridge was complete.
For more than 50 years the bridge was used by passenger trains as part of the main route between the then Northern Rhodesia, southern Africa and Europe.
Freight trains carried mainly copper ore (later, copper ingots) and timber out of Zambia, and coal into the country.
The age of the bridge and maintenance problems have led to traffic restrictions at times.
Trains cross at less than walking pace and trucks were limited to loads of 30 tons.
Bigger trucks have to take the longer road using the Kazungula Ferry or Chirundu Bridge.
The limit was raised after repairs in 2006.
The bridge needs to be extensively rebuilt or replaced.
During the Rhodesian UDI crisis and Bush War the bridge was often closed (and regular passenger services have not been successful).
In 1975, the bridge was the site of unsuccessful peace talks when the parties met in a train carriage above the gorge for nine and a half hours.
In 1980 freight and road services restarted and have continued without interruption except for maintenance.
Today one of the Victoria Falls Bridge's main attraction are historical guided tours about the construction of the bridge and which include a walking tour under the main deck.
On the Zambian side there is a small museum about the bridge which is free to enter and contains cafe selling refreshments.
Also located on the bridge is the Shearwater  bungee jump including a bungee swing and zip-line.
Concerns about safety of the attraction were raised in late 2011 after the bungee's cord snapped and a young Australian woman fell  into the fast flowing river with many crocodiles.
