Egocentrism is a state of mind of putting oneself in the center of interest, of being interested more about oneself than about other people. While this is normal in young children, it becomes more and more of a problem, in older children, adolescents and adults. To egocentric people, self-relevant information is seen as more important in shaping one’s judgments than are thoughts about others and other-relevant information. The term egocentrism was mostly coined by Piaget, a psychologist. Egocentrism is different from both egoism and narcissism. Young children are egocentric: they see themselves as the "center" of the world. Developing self-conscience requires the perception that there are others, that there is socialisation with other people, and that there are differences between oneself and other people. Egocentric people are often unable to fully understand or to cope with other people's opinions. The fact that reality can be different from what they are ready to accept is difficult for them.

Meshuggah is an extreme metal band from Umeå, Sweden. The band used to be named Metallien. They have been playing since 1985. Meshuggah is known for using 8-string guitars in their newest albums. Meshuggah's music uses changing time signatures and polyrhythms. The band inspired djent, a genre of metal. The band's current members are singer Jens Kidman, guitarists Fredrik Thordendal and Mårten Hagström, drummer Tomas Haake and bassist Dick Lövgren.
In 1985, guitarist Fredrik Thordendal started a band in Umeå. The band was named Metallien. Metallien made many demo tapes, but the band ended after they were released. After the band ended, Thordendal kept using the band's name while playing music with other people.
Meshuggah was made in 1987 by singer and guitarist Jens Kidman. He named it "Meshuggah" because the word means "crazy" in Yiddish. The band recorded many demos, but broke up after Kidman left. Kidman made a new band named Calipash. It had Thordendal as a guitarist, as well as bassist Peter Nordin and drummer Niklas Lundgren. Kidman and Thordendal decided to rename the band to Meshuggah.
In 1989, Meshuggah released an extended play with three songs named "Meshuggah". It is also known as "Psykisk Testbild". The band made 1,000 vinyl copies of the EP. The copies were sold at a local music store. In 1990, the band replaced Niklas Lundgren with drummer Tomas Haake.
Meshuggah joined German heavy metal record label Nuclear Blast. They made their first album, "Contradictions Collapse", in 1991. Many people liked the album, but it did not sell many copies. Kidman decided to stop playing guitar for the band and focus on singing. Mårten Hagström, one of Haake's friends, joined the band to play guitar instead. The band made an EP named "None" in 1994. They also made a Japanese version of "None", with lyrics printed in Japanese.
Thordendal, who was working as a carpenter, cut off the tip of his left middle finger in an accident. Haake also hurt his hand in an accident. Because of this, the band could not play music for many months. Thordendal had surgery to put his fingertip back on, and it healed. Meshuggah recorded another EP named "Selfcaged" in 1994, but released it in 1995 because of the injuries.
In January 1995, Meshuggah went on a European tour. After the tour, the band made the album "Destroy Erase Improve". After making the album, the band went on another European tour with Machine Head. During the tour, Nordin had balance problems because of his inner ear. Because this made him very dizzy, Nordin went back to Sweden. Machine Head's bassist, Adam Duce, offered to play bass for Meshuggah during the tour. The band did not want him to, and kept playing with four members. Hagström used a pitch shifter for the rest of the tour to make his guitar sound lower.
Later in 1995, Meshuggah went on tour with Swedish band Clawfinger. Nordin had to leave the band because of his sickness. He was replaced by bassist Gustaf Hielm during the tour. The band went on another tour in late 1995 with Hypocrisy. In 1997, the band moved to Stockholm to be closer to their record label.
Meshuggah made an EP named "The True Human Design" in late 1997. It had one new song named "Sane", and different versions of the song "Future Breed Machine" from "Destroy Erase Improve". Thordendal also released his own album named "Sol Niger Within". At the end of the year, Meshuggah started planning their next album.
In May 1998, the band said that their next album would be named "Chaosphere". Meshuggah recorded music for the album in May and June. The band went on a tour in the United States, and then released the album in November 1998. "Chaosphere" had less thrash metal music on it, because the band wanted to make groovier music. In early 1999, Meshuggah went with Slayer on their American tour.
After the concerts and new album, many popular metal magazines wrote about Meshuggah. The band started to write new music in 2000, and said that work was going "slowly". While they were making their next album, Meshuggah released "Rare Trax". This was a collection of songs the band did not release, as well as demo music from the "Meshuggah" EP. Hielm left the band in July 2001. Meshuggah joined Tool on a long tour, and they played for over 100,000 people.
The new album was recorded in five to six weeks in May 2002. The band decided to play at Ozzfest (a music festival). This made the band have to produce the album in only three days. After recording the album, Meshuggah went on an American tour.
The album "Nothing" was released in August 2002. It sold over 6,000 copies in its first week of being sold, and reached number 165 on the "Billboard" 200. Meshuggah was the first member of Nuclear Blast that went onto the "Billboard" 200 music chart. The compact disc version of "Nothing" has no words on it except for "ingenting". This means "nothing" in Swedish. At the end of 2002, the band went on another tour with Tool. They also went on their own tour.
In February 2004, bassist Dick Lövgren joined Meshuggah. The band released an EP named "I", which has a 21-minute song on it. The band took six months to make the EP. In May 2005, the band released the album "Catch Thirtythree". It is the only Meshuggah album that has programmed drums on it. Seven thousand copies of the album were sold in the first week, and it went to number 170 on the "Billboard" 200. The band was nominated for a Swedish Grammy for the album. They made a music video for the song "Shed" in June 2005.
In March 2007, the band started making "obZen." They finished the album in October, and released it in March 2008. Most of the time the band took making the album was used to learn how to play the music they wrote. It was the longest time they had ever taken making an album. "obZen" reached number 59 on the "Billboard" 200 music chart. It sold 50,000 copies after six months. After releasing the album, the band went on a world tour. They played in the United States, Europe, Asia, and Australia.
In February 2013, Meshuggah released an EP with two songs on it. It was named "Pitch Black". The extended play has a song on it named "Pitch Black" that was made by Thordendal in 2003. The other song on the EP is a live recording of "Dancers to a Discordant System" from "obZen". On May 12, 2016, Meshuggah put a video on YouTube saying their next album would be released in 2016. Later, the band said the album was named "The Violent Sleep of Reason". It was released in October 2016, and reached number 17 on the "Billboard" 200.
Meshuggah plays many different types of metal music. Many people call their music experimental metal, but it has also been called groove metal, alternative metal, extreme metal, and progressive metal.
The band has a unique way of playing metal music. They use many complex music styles, such as playing with polyrhythms, polymeters, and changing key and tempo. This makes the music very difficult to play. Hagström has said that "it doesn't really matter if something is hard to play or not. The thing is, what does it do to your mind when you listen to it? Where does it take you?" Meshuggah uses many different polymeters. In some songs, the guitars may play in 17/16 (a difficult meter), while the drums are in 4/4 (a normal meter). Hagström says that "everything we do is based around a 4/4 core", but the band plays "parts differently around that center to make it seem like something else is going on."
Rob Rensenbrink (; 3 July 1947 – 24 January 2020) was a Dutch footballer and member of the Netherlands national team that reached two World Cup finals in 1974 and 1978. A creative and prolific left winger or forward, he became a legend in Belgium whilst playing in the great Anderlecht side of the 1970s. He is the UEFA Cup Winners Cup's all-time top scorer, with 25 goals. A talented dribbler as well as a cool finisher and adequate passer, he only ever missed two penalties in his entire career. He was also the first winner of the Onze d'Or. Considered as one of the greatest Dutch players of all time. Rensenbrink was widely regarded to be one of the best left wingers of the 1970s.
The pilot was initially developed for UPN with Regency Television for the 1998–99 television season but when UPN's enthusiasm for the project waned, Gail Berman managed to rescue the pilot by bringing the project to Fox. The show was then moved to the 1999–2000 cycle where it was picked up by Fox.
Born in Amsterdam, Rensenbrink started his career at DWS, an Amsterdam amateur club, before moving to Belgian side Club Brugge in 1969. Between 1971 and 1980 he played for Anderlecht where he enjoyed his greatest club successes. In total when in Belgium he twice won the Belgian Championships, the Belgian Cup five times and at European club level the European Cup Winners' Cup twice (in 1976 and 1978 as well as being runner-up in 1977). Rensenbrink delivered a notable performance in the 1976 final as Anderlecht ran out 4–2 winners against West Ham United. He scored two goals, one from the penalty spot and set up Francois Van der Elst for the fourth goal. Among his team mates was Dutch internationalist compatriot, Arie Haan. In 1980, he left Anderlecht and wound down his career with a spell at Portland Timbers in the NASL, followed by a brief stay with Toulouse in France in 1981.
The Dutch side that took part in the 1974 FIFA World Cup were the pinnacle of Total Football. Most of the 1974 team were made up of players from AFC Ajax and Feyenoord, so Rensenbrink was an outsider and was unfamiliar with playing the system. His preferred position was up front on the left, but that position was already Johan Cruijff's domain, so he played on the left-wing position in midfield, taking over from Ajax player Piet Keizer. He missed one game in the tournament (when Keizer played instead) and was only half-fit for the final after picking up an injury during the semi-final against Brazil. Rinus Michels gambled on Rensenbrink's fitness and played him from start – however he only lasted until half-time and was replaced by René van de Kerkhof. The Netherlands took an early lead through a Johan Neeskens penalty, but goals from Paul Breitner and Gerd Müller gave West Germany a 2–1 victory. Rensenbrink's performances saw him named to the team of the tournament and he was sought by Ajax as a replacement for Keizer. However, contract negotiations fell through and he remained at Anderlecht.
In the 1978 FIFA World Cup tournament in Argentina, the Netherlands again reached the final, but this time without Cruijff (who decided to retire from international football) and under the guidance of Ernst Happel rather than Michels. Out of the shadow of Cruijff, Rensenbrink found more room to showcase his own considerable talent, playing on the left-hand side of a front three alongside Johnny Rep and René van de Kerkhof. He scored a hat-trick in the opening game against Iran, another goal against Scotland which was goal number 1000 in World Cup history and a penalty in the 5–1 win over Austria. In the final against Argentina, the Netherlands yet again met the hosts. In an intense match, the Netherlands fell behind to a first-half Mario Kempes strike. After Dick Nanninga's equalizer 9 minutes from time, a long pass from the Dutch captain Ruud Krol in the last 30 seconds of normal time gave Rensenbrink a half-chance to score but his shot from a very narrow angle was deflected on to the post and bounced clear. Had he scored, it is almost certain that Holland would have won the World Cup with Rensenbrink being top goal scorer. Argentina scored twice in extra-time for a 3–1 victory and the Netherlands again had to settle for the runners-up spot.
Rensenbrink played some of the qualifiers for Euro 80, but after earning his 46th cap in 1979 (a 2–0 defeat by Poland in a qualifier for Euro 80), he retired from international football at the age of 32, having scored 14 times for his country. He along with Eusébio are the only players to score the most goals from a penalty spot in a tournament (4 in 1978).
He was named by Pelé as one of the top 125 greatest living footballers in March 2004. He was also named Anderlecht's greatest ever foreign player in 2008.
Until the 1920s, Spain did not have its own oil industry; all oil products were supplied to the country by large multinational companies such as Royal Dutch Shell. In 1927, the Compañia Arrendataria del Monopolio de Pétroleos Sociedad Anónima (CAMPSA, literally "Oil Monopoly Company") was created by the Primo de Rivera directory, which received the exclusive right to buy and distribute petroleum products at prices set by the state. In 1941, the first attempt was made to start oil production in Spain, but it was unsuccessful; by this time, three oil refineries were already working in the country.
In 1957, natural gas was also included in the scope of CAMPSA. In 1964, attempts to find oil in Spain were finally crowned with success, although the oil was scarce and of poor quality. The next year, offshore exploration began, and ten years later significant oil reserves were discovered off the Mediterranean coast. In 1965, the state-owned company Hispanica de Petróleos (Hispanoil) was founded to search for oil in Spain and other countries. In 1974, the three refineries were united into Empresa Nacional del Petróleo (ENPETROL), in which the state owned 72% of the shares. On December 18, 1981, most of the participants in the energy market were united into the National Institute of Hydrocarbons (Spanish Instituto Nacional de Hidrocarburos; INH).

Śruti is a canon of Hindu sacred texts. They do not date to a particular period, but rather stretch across the entire history of Hinduism, beginning with the some of the earliest known Hindu texts, spanning into the modern period with the Upanishads.
The Second Red Scare happened after the Second World War, during the start of the Cold War, that lasted from the late 1940s to the mid to late 1950s. It led to a fear of national or foreign communist spies infiltrating and taking over U.S. society, institutions and the federal government. The Second Red Scare is known as McCarthyism.
Śruti consists essentially of the Vedas and the agama, preserved initially through oral tradition and eventually written down in Sanskrit. Among the many sacred books of the Hindus, these two bodies of knowledge are held in the highest esteem. For countless centuries Śruti has been the basis of philosophical discussion, study and commentary, and this attention has given rise to countless schools of thought. It is also the subject of deep study and meditation, to realize the wisdom of the ancients within oneself.
Most mantras are drawn from Śruti, used for rites of worship, both public and domestic, as well as personal prayer and japa. It is a remarkable tribute to Hindu culture that so much of Śruti was preserved for thousands of years without alteration by means of oral instruction from guru to shishya, generation after generation. In the Veda tradition this was accomplished by requiring the student to learn each verse in eleven different ways, including backwards. Traditionally Śruti is not read, but chanted according to extremely precise rules of grammar, pitch, intonation and rhythm. This brings forth its greatest power. In the sacred language of Śruti, word and meaning are so closely aligned that hearing these holy scriptures properly chanted is magical in its effect upon the soul of the listener.

In geometry, a semicircle is a two-dimensional geometric shape that forms half of a circle. Being half of a circle's 360° (360 degrees), the arc of a semicircle always measures 180°. A triangle inscribed in a semicircle is always a right triangle.
Sometimes, cotton treated that way is called "Fil d'écosse". Sometimes wool treated in the Mercosett process is also called mercerised.
The process of mercerisation is long, and realtively costly. For this reason, only higher quality textiles are treated that way.
Treatment with sodium hydroxide destroys the spiral form of the cellulose with formation of alkali cellulose, which is changed to cellulose hydrate on washing out the alkali. Caustic soda concentrations of 20–26% are used. Effective mercerization requires the use of wetting agents.
