It not only confirms that at least some dinosaurs had feathers, a theory that has been widely accepted, but also provides information that fossils cannot, such as color and three-dimensional structure.

She was admitted to James Paget Hospital in Great Yarmouth from the start.
He was then taken to Addenbrooke's Hospital in Cambridge.
Since then, Adekoya has been in Edinburgh Sheriff Court charged with perverting the course of justice.
She is in shock, reading the indictment and preparing for trial, but a guilty verdict may be hard to come by because her image has been so widely disseminated.
It is common practice elsewhere in the UK, but the Scottish legal system operates differently, and the courts had viewed the publication of the photographs as potentially prejudicial.
Professor Pamela Ferguson, of Dundee University, said: "It seems that journalists have jumped on the bandwagon by publishing unverified photographs and other information."
The Crown Prosecution Service, which oversees prosecutions, has told journalists that no further comment will be made until the charges are heard in court.
According to the document, the border will return to the lines that existed before the 1967 Six-Day War, relying on the pre-1967 border demarcation.

Last month, the President's Commission on Election Integrity recommended dismantling the Election Assistance Commission as part of a package of reforms to prepare the country for new elections.
The commission was formed in the wake of widespread protests against the regime that began in October.
Occasionally violent protests have been sparked by the inability to hold elections since 2011.
Approximately 60 incidents of iPod battery overheating have been reported to the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, resulting in six burns suffered by four people.
Japan's Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (METI) said it was aware of 27 related incidents.

A former Filipino policeman shot dead two Hong Kong tourists in a bus in Manila, the capital of the Philippines.
Rolando Mendoza opened fire with his M16 rifle on tourists.
Until now, there are a number of freelancers, but at least six have been approved for permanent residency.
Six people, including children and a photographer from the Philippines, were quickly freed.
The photographer later took the older woman's place because she needed to go to the bathroom. Mendoza was shot.
Mr Liggins followed in his father's footsteps and pursued a career in medicine.
He trained as a nurse and began working at the National Women's Hospital in Auckland in 1959.
When he was working in a hospital, Ligins began to study ancient civilizations in his spare time.
His research found that after the hormone was administered, the rate of egg loss in the ovaries slowed down.
The Xinhua news agency said on Wednesday that two "black boxes" - flight data recorders - had been recovered from the wreckage.

Of the 1,400 people surveyed before the 2010 federal election, the number of people who identified as republicans had increased by 8 per cent compared with 2008.
Julia Gillard, the former prime minister, said during the 2010 federal election campaign that, in her view, Australia should become a republic after the death of Queen Elizabeth II.
The poll found 34 per cent of respondents wanted the Queen to be Australia's last monarch.
Survey results show that 29 per cent of respondents believe Australia should become a republic as soon as possible, while 31 per cent believe Australia should never become a republic.

He is expected to announce his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election.
NextGen is a system that, according to the FAA, would allow planes to fly more direct routes and save millions of gallons of fuel each year, as well as reduce emissions.
It uses satellite technology, not old-fashioned ground-based radar, to allow air traffic controllers to pinpoint a plane's location with greater accuracy and provide pilots with more precise information.
There are no plans for additional transport infrastructure, there will be no car parking or drop-off and pick-up facilities at the stadium.
Bailey's injury increased the likelihood that the game would be played in an empty stadium without fans in attendance.
A study published in the journal Science on Thursday reported the discovery of a new species of iguana on the Galapagos Islands off the coast of Ecuador.
Princeton University (U.S.) and Uppsala University (Sweden) researchers reported that the new species had evolved in just two generations, despite the fact that the process was expected to take much longer, given the distance between Darwin's finches (Geospiza fortes) and cactus finches (Geospiza conirostris) on the Galapagos Islands.
Gold can be hammered into any shape. It can even be rolled into very thin sheets.
It can be worn as a scarf, a shawl or a poncho. It can be warm or cool.
It can be very carefully planned and painstakingly applied to another metal. It can be very carefully planned and painstakingly applied to another metal. It is sometimes used to decorate illuminated manuscripts, which are called "illuminated manuscripts".
This is the chemical pH. You can make an indicator by mixing red cabbage juice.
The color of the coral varies depending on how acidic or alkaline (alkaline) the water is.
PH is a measure of the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+ ions) in an aqueous solution.
An atomic nucleus is made up of protons and neutrons (because an atomic nucleus is made up of one proton and one neutron).
Mix the flour and salt together in a bowl, then rub the butter into the flour with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs.
Rocks collide with the Earth's surface, creating mountains and forming their own continents.
In almost every house in Harappa and Mohenjo-Daro, there was a bathroom with a drain connected to a sewage system.
The remains of the Minoan system have been found in Minoa (Crete) and in the houses of Santorini (Greece).
Toilets were also found in ancient Egypt, Persia and China. In the Roman civilization, toilets were part of public baths where men and women went together.
Calling someone who is thousands of miles away requires the use of a satellite.
The satellite in space receives a signal and almost immediately sends it back.
A rocket was launched into space. Scientists use telescopes in space because the Earth's atmosphere blocks some of our light and heat.
To launch a satellite or telescope into space, you need a rocket with a thrust of more than 100,000 pounds.
Rhythms have changed the world. The biggest thing rhythm has done for us is it has given us a lot of simplicity and instant gratification.
It's our main means of transport, cars and many other means of transport.
There are a number of large carnivores, including lions, leopards, cheetahs, hyenas and wild dogs, that feed on a wide range of prey, from small mammals to antelopes and buffalo.
There are many small cats (including house cats) that eat a wide variety of small mammals, such as mice, rats, squirrels, chipmunks, and rabbits.
Herding is a natural concept - an instinctive task that each bird performs and that does not allow them to compete with each other.
Seals are the largest of the earless seals, living in large groups called harems.
One to three infants and up to 30 mothers and babies were killed in the blast.
Mothers are directly connected to each other, being a big sister and a little sister in the same family.
A fox's bark is similar to a dog's or a wolf's bark - this animal's bark is similar to a fox's (but not as loud as a larger dog's) and it is just as protective of its young.
Athletes can run (even if they're not very good at it), swim, do push-ups and pull-ups, and lift more weight than an average person.
The tiger is part of the big cat family, which includes lions, leopards and jaguars. These four cats are the only ones that can roar.
A tiger's roar is not the same as a lion's full-throated roar, but more like a low-pitched growl.
Ocelots prey on small mammals. If possible, they will kill rabbits, squirrels, rats and mice. Almost all of the animals that ocelots prey on are much smaller than they are.
Scientists believe that the otters dive underwater to catch their prey (fish) and then bring it back to the surface to eat it.
They can see very well in the dark with their night vision and they are very good at climbing. Ocelots hunt by stalking their prey, sneaking up on them, then pouncing on them from above.
When a small group of organisms (a small population) is isolated from the main population, from which they came (for example, if they moved to a mountaintop or island or migrated to a new habitat, making it difficult for them to return), they often adapt to their new surroundings rather than their original habitat.
The new video has different resources and some competitors, so the new generation will need unique features or improvements to be more competitive than they needed to be before.
The initial population has not changed, they still need the same level of protection as before.
Over time, as newcomers begin to assimilate into their new communities, they become increasingly similar to their neighbors.
After thousands or even millions of years, the two populations look so different that they can't be considered the same species.
We think of this process as speciation, which just means the creation of a new species. Speciation is an unavoidable and very important part of evolution.
Augi eats the shells that people throw away, but takes in the carbon dioxide that people breathe out.
Plants get their energy from the sun using photosynthesis. They also produce oxygen.
We build our homes on the land and raise our children on the land. Most of the food we eat comes from the land. Without land, animals cannot survive.
Mozasaurus was the largest plesiosaur of its time, so it's not surprising that other mozasaurus species were named after it.
It was covered in more than 70 feet of snow, which was piled up by avalanches, and so there was no way out for anyone who got caught in it.
We don't know exactly what it was, but it may have been some kind of bear. There was a skull, large bones, and it may have been a cannibal.
It also took out everything that was in the water; not even the mighty Tyrannosaurus Rex would have survived that.
While most of the Roman diet would be familiar to us, they also ate some exotic foods and delicacies, such as snails, peacocks, pheasants and quails, which were considered a delicacy.
Another difference was that the women ate, sitting on chairs, while the men ate standing at long tables, eating with their hands.
Foods from the Americas and Asia that were introduced to Europe only in the last few centuries were not part of the traditional diet of the elderly.
For example, they didn't have corn, tomatoes, potatoes, or chocolate, and no one over the age of 40 had ever tasted a strawberry.
The Babylonians dedicated each of their gods a main temple, which was considered to be the god's home.
People did not worship gods, but priests tried to fulfill the wishes of the gods by organizing ceremonies and festivals.
In each temple there was an open courtyard and then an outer sanctuary where only priests could enter.
Sometimes, as part of the temple, special pyramid-shaped towers were built, which were called ziggurats.
The upper part of the tower was a chapel dedicated to the Virgin Mary.
In the tropical climate of the South Pacific, houses weren't built to withstand strong winds.
The Hebrew family was the largest living in the area.
The woman prepared the meal in the kitchen; the dining room was a simple wooden bench that faced the street. The house was built on stilts.
There were not many forests in Canada, so wood was very valuable.
Greenland was sparsely populated. The Old Norse sagas tell of Eric the Red being exiled from Iceland for three years and, sailing further west, discovering the land he named Greenland.
However, despite his revelation, there was already an Inuit community living there at the time.
Though all were "Scandinavian" kingdoms, there were many differences between the Danes, Swedes, Norwegians, and Icelanders in terms of language, culture, and history.
If you've seen the movie "National Treasure," you may have noticed that the Declaration of Independence is on the back of the treasure map.
However, that is not the case. Even though the document is signed, there is no power of attorney.
The preamble of the Declaration of Independence is written thus: "The unanimous Declaration of the thirteen united States of America, dated the fourth of July, 1776." The text is repeated in the lower part of the document.
While no one knows who wrote it, it is known that this large parchment document (29¾ x 24½ inches) was folded and sealed immediately after it was written.
Therefore, in most cases, it is added simply as a label.
The D-Day landings and subsequent fighting had freed the north of France, but the south remained in German hands.
It was governed by Vichy France. They were French citizens who signed an armistice with the Germans in 1940 and collaborated with the Germans, but did not fight against them.
On August 15, 1940, the British Expeditionary Force was evacuated from Dunkirk; this evacuation is known as Operation Dynamo.
Over the course of two weeks, American and British forces had liberated France's south and pushed into Germany's heartland.
Civilization is a distinct culture created by a large group of people who live and work together, cooperatively.
The word "civilization" comes from the Latin "civilis", which means civil, related to the Latin "civis", which means citizen, and "civitas", which means city or city-state, and also roughly means the level of society.
The city is the nation's frontier. The culture of civilization means knowing more than one language, embracing more than one culture, and always being open to new ideas.
Small cultures often vanish without a trace, leaving behind no written history, and they are not seen as full-fledged civilizations.
During the American Revolutionary War, thirteen states, in accordance with the Articles of Confederation, first created a central government whose sole component was Congress.
Congress was not empowered to make laws, and, lacking a national executive or judiciary, it was left to the states, which often refused to cooperate with each other, believing that each state should make its own laws.
There were also no agreements on visa regulations and tariffs between the countries.
In order to be ratified, an amendment had to be approved by the legislatures of three-fourths of the states, but the states were so reluctant to cede power to the central government that the amendment often had to be approved by the legislatures of more than three-fourths of the states.
The Italian national football team, as well as the German national football team, is one of the most successful teams in the world, having won the FIFA World Cup in 2006.
The most popular sports are football, basketball, volleyball, water polo, boxing, rugby, horse racing, Formula 1 car racing, motorcycle racing and F1 car racing.
Winter sports are the most popular in the northern regions, and Italians excel in both international and Olympic competitions.
Japan has almost 7,000 islands (the largest being Honshu), placing it seventh in the world in terms of number of islands.
Due to the fact that Japan's territory consists of several islands, it is often referred to as an archipelago
Taiwan's history began in the 16th century, when Dutch sailors named the island "Ilha Formosa" or "Beautiful Island."
In 1624, the Dutch East India Company established a trading post on Taiwan's southwestern coast, introducing the practice of headhunting to the island's indigenous population and employing Chinese laborers on their farms and sugar plantations.
In 1683, the Qing dynasty (1644-1912) gained control over Taiwan's east and north coastal areas and declared Taiwan a province of the Qing Empire in 1885.
In 1895, after losing the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-1895), the Qing dynasty signed the Treaty of Shimonoseki, by which it ceded suzerainty over Taiwan to Japan, which ruled it until 1945.
Machu Picchu is made up of three main buildings: the Temple of the Sun, the Temple of the Moon and the Temple of the Three Lords.
Most of the buildings in the complex have been restored to give tourists a better idea of how they were originally built.
Between 1976 and 2000, 30 percent of the area of Machu Picchu was reforested, and reforestation continues to this day.
For example, the most common non-roll film image format in the world is 35 mm, which was the most common film format in the era of analog photography.
It's still being made, but it's more important now that it's being used in digital camera image sensors.
The 35mm format is actually 36mm wide and 24mm high.
Therefore, this format is 3-2.
Many widely used formats (e.g. JPEG files) match this aspect ratio or are very close to it.
The third law of thermodynamics is a simple principle that describes the dynamics of a system while maintaining the conservation of energy.
The most effective position for the main subject is at the center of the line, which divides the image into three parts both vertically and horizontally (see example).
In this period of European history, the Catholic Church, which had become powerful and influential, ruled the land.
More than 1,000 years, Christianity has united the countries of Europe, regardless of different languages and traditions.
It affected every aspect of life, from the king down to the common people.
One of the main Christian doctrines is that wealth is to be used for charity and the alleviation of poverty, and the church's resources are meant to be used for these purposes.
Central Rome has been home to more than 2,000 years of history, and the city's density and concentration of sights can be overwhelming, making it hard to know where to start.
Shortly after the outbreak of hostilities, Britain imposed a naval blockade on Germany.
The strategy was effective, cutting off vital military and civilian supplies while also violating international law codified in several treaties over the past two decades of international agreements.
Britain has deployed its international warships to prevent ships from sailing through a stretch of ocean that has seen unarmed vessels attacked.
As a reaction to this tactic, Britain found a similar reaction to its unrestricted submarine warfare.
In the 1920s, pacifism and isolationism were the prevailing attitudes of most Americans.
After the first world war, the surviving combatants and victims of the war wanted to distance themselves from the continuation of such a situation in the future.
In 1884, Tesla moved to the United States to work for the Edison Company in New York City.
He arrived in the U.S. with four cents in his pocket, a Bible and a letter of recommendation from Charles Bachelor (his former boss) addressed to Thomas Edison.
In ancient China, there was a unique way to distinguish different time periods; each dynasty or family that ruled China was unique.
Between each dynasty was a period of disunity among the provinces. The most notable of these periods was the Three Kingdoms era, which lasted for 60 years between the Han and Jin dynasties.
During this period, there was an unfortunate struggle for the throne.
The Three Kingdoms period was one of the most turbulent times in Chinese history, with thousands of people dying as they fought for supremacy in the Great Hall of the Sky Palace.
There are many social and political effects, such as the metric system replacing absolutism with republicanism, nationalism, and the belief that the country belongs to the people, not to one ruler.
At the same time, after the Revolution, any man could become a candidate for life, which allowed more ambitious and successful men to get ahead.
It also relates to the military draft, which is now based on a person's abilities rather than a pre-determined draft card.
The French Revolution also inspired many other repressed workers in other countries to start their own revolutions.
Muhammad was very interested in cosmological questions. He often went to a hill that became known as Mount Hira, near Mecca, to meditate.
Even the patty, which has survived a year in the freezer, still bears the imprint of Muhammad's hand.
Ala is located in one of the mountains in the north of Mecca and is completely isolated from the rest of the world.
It's actually not that easy to find, even if you know it's there. Once you're inside, it's total isolation.
Nothing is clearer than the bright blue sky above and the many mountains all around. From the airport you can't see or hear anything from the outside world.
The Great Pyramid of Giza is one of seven wonders of the ancient world still standing today.
The Great Pyramid of Giza, built by the ancient Egyptians in the 3rd millennium BC, is one of the largest pyramids in the world, built as a tomb for a Pharaoh.
The Giza Plateau, also known as the Giza Necropolis, consists of several pyramids (the Great Pyramid being the largest), several small pyramids, several temples, and the Great Sphinx.
A large pyramid was built to house the pharaoh, and many smaller pyramids, cenotaphs, and temples were built to house the pharaoh's wives and family members.
At the top, the V looks like a W, and at the bottom, the V looks like a square with a line across the bottom.
To the right, it means you need to go up and then down, to the left it means you need to go down and then up.
The high-pitched whistle of the upper lobes is distinctive, while the low-pitched whistle of the lower lobes is louder and more convincing.
You can mark your preferences, but be aware that the default preferences are based on music listening habits, so they should be overridden.
King Louis XVI, his wife Marie Antoinette, their children (11-year-old Marie-Therese and four-year-old Louis-Charles) and the king's mother, Queen Elizabeth, fled from Versailles to Paris on October 6, 1789, to escape the mob in the market square.
They headed back to Paris, spreading the word to the people and the queen.
People's eyes were glued to the king and queen as they waved from the balcony.
At the same time, the band's leader approached the king, who was seated in the royal box at the back of the Versailles opera house.
The costs of American imperialism in the Philippines were borne by Filipinos themselves.
They were reluctant to pay taxes to the U.S. colonial government, which took a large share of the profits, and the percentage of the profits paid to the Filipino government in the name of Volstead was low.
Of course, the long history of U.S. imperialism in the Philippines has left its mark on the Filipino psyche.
To understand the Templars, you have to watch the video that created the order.
The period when the events took place is usually referred to as the Middle Ages - the European history period of the 11th, 12th and 13th centuries (1000-1300 AD).
Before the Middle Ages there were the Dark Ages, and after the Middle Ages came the Renaissance, which lasted until the 1500s.
Technological determinism is a term used to describe a wide-ranging idea that starts with technological innovation or technological imperative and ends with the idea that human behavior is determined by an existing logic that is related to scientific laws and their expression in technology.
In general, the interpretation of technological determinism is divided into two main ideas: firstly, technological development is largely influenced by cultural or political factors and technology itself has an impact on society, which is not socially determined.
For example, one could say that a car makes the road safer.
However, a highway toll is not economically viable for a small number of cars, so new manufacturing methods have been developed to reduce the cost of owning a car.
A large number of private cars also means a larger number of road accidents, resulting in the development of new methods to reduce the number of casualties.
Romanticism to a large extent relied on the cultural determinism of writers such as Goethe, Fichte and Schlegel.
In the context of romanticism, geography influenced people, and at the time there was a culture and customs associated with a particular geographical region that were better than laws, because they were in harmony with the environment.
Like Paris today, Constantinople was considered the world's fashion capital during the Middle Ages.
It is known as a luxury goods centre, starting in the 4th century and continuing to the 11th century.
Its status declined in the 12th century as the Crusaders returned with goods such as silk and spices, which were valued more highly than those available in the Byzantine markets.
At that time Constantinople was losing its status as a capital city, but Paris was gaining it.
The Gothic style became popular in the 10th and 11th centuries and later in the 14th century.
At the beginning, the iconography was largely influenced by the Byzantine culture of the East.
However, due to the slow speed of the modems, it could take up to 25 to 30 years.
At the end of the Middle Ages, Europe began to develop its own style. One of the most important achievements of this period was that people began to use horses for transportation.
Subsistence farming is farming that is done to produce enough food for the farmer and the farmer's family.
Field crop farming is a simple, often organic system, in which seeds are planted in the ground together with other seeds or organic matter in a way that maximizes yield.
Historically, most farming was done by hand, as it still is in many developing countries.
Subcultures unite like-minded individuals who, in the eyes of society, are seen as outsiders, and allow them to express their identity.
Subcultures can be distinguished by differences in age, ethnicity, class, geographic location, and/or sexual orientation.
The characteristics that define a subculture may be linguistic, aesthetic, religious, political, sexual, geographic, or a combination of factors.
Members of subcultures often express their identity through distinctive and symbolic styles, including clothing, mannerisms, and jargon.
One of the most powerful illustrations of the importance of socialization is the tragic example of children who were deprived of socialization during their formative years due to neglect, abuse, or emotional deprivation.
These children are often referred to as "throw-aways" or "feral." Some throw-away children have been abandoned by their parents (usually their fathers); others have been removed from their homes because of intellectual or physical abuse by their parents.
Children may have been subjected to abuse or trauma before they were abandoned or relinquished.
It is believed that others were killed by wild animals; some say they were killed by one animal alone.
Fully bonded with animals, a well-trained dog is almost like a family member, such as a babysitter or protector against people, for example.
In order to make the learning process more exciting and interesting, it is necessary to involve the students in the project-based learning process, but it is difficult to do so.
Mentoring is not a teaching method, but rather a way of supporting people who are learning something new, such as using a new computer program or starting a new project.
Balancing can be done virtually or in real life, using other words to say that balancing can be a teacher, but it can also be a small person in the Microsoft Office program.
Virtual labs are built into the curriculum, and they are designed to help students understand, explain, and perform procedures that might be difficult for them to do on their own.
Children are placed in foster care for a variety of reasons, including abuse, neglect, and abandonment.
No child should ever have to grow up in a home that is not safe, loving and nurturing, but it happens.
We believe that the foster care system is a safe zone for these children.
Our system, which supports breastfeeding babies within the family, needs a safe home, loving parents, stable education and a healthy environment.
Everything that was left behind in the house should be taken care of.
The Internet connects both mass and person-to-person communications.
Unique features of the Internet create additional dimensions of interaction and communication.
For example, "learning" and "socialization" are cited as important motivating factors for Internet use (James et al., 1995).
In addition to the reaction of the target audience to the sites, Images and Markets (1998) also identified new motivating aspects such as "personal involvement" and "sustainable relationships".
The use of video recording has brought to light new insights into the micro-mechanics of a heartbeat - the contraction of the heart muscle, which lasts a few milliseconds.
In particular, it is emphasized that a person can indicate whether or not he or she is willing to make a microchip implant in his or her body.
Oliver Sacks, in his essay "The President's Speech," showed how people who can't understand speech because of a hearing impairment can nevertheless be precise about how accurate it is.
He also suggested that such powers could be given to animals, such as house cats.
Twelve-year-old studies have shown that there are two genetic groups: thin and fat.
A mutation introduces a new genetic variant, but removes it from the expected variant set.
Segregation and recombination at each meiosis pair up and shuffle the alleles between the two sets of chromosomes.
Primates with such a complex digestive system as humans have a hard time getting the necessary amino acids from the available plant resources in the savannah.
In addition, there may be unpleasant surprises: a high ceiling, an uncomfortable bed and even a bathroom.
The most readily available foods would have been fruits and vegetables that grow on trees and vines, but it's hard for us to imagine eating them because we're not used to them.
On the other hand, animal proteins (meat, fish, eggs) are not only easily digestible, but also provide a lot of proteins that contain amino acids that are not found in plant proteins.
Considering all of this, it would not be surprising if our ancestors also solved their "protein problem" in a similar way to the chimpanzees living in the savannah today.
Massage is the manipulation of superficial layers of muscle and connective tissue. Massage techniques are commonly applied with the hands, fingers, elbows, forearms, feet, or a device.
You can easily do this by using the same keyboard shortcut to mute your microphone while you're on a call, but you're not fully muted.
If you're carrying a purse, you can put it on the other side of the table, out of reach, to keep it safe.
Another option is to drink a lot of water (especially water or juice that is known for its diuretic effect) before going to bed and then urinate in the middle of the night.
The ratio of the number of people outside to the number of people inside a building is inversely proportional to the number of floors in the building.
Because the journey is the reward. Every person has the potential to find absolute peace and serenity.
One person can make a difference. The only thing that can stop us from achieving this goal is our own apathy and negativity.
Tibetan Buddhism is based on the teachings of the Buddha, but it expanded with the Mahayana path and many Indian yoga methods.
The principle of Tibetan Buddhism is very simple. It includes kundalini yoga, meditation and the path to enlightenment.
During the practice of Kundalini yoga, Kundalini (awakening) energy is awakened by using yoga poses, breathing techniques, mantras and visualizations.
Tibetan meditation is Divine Yoga. Through visualization of different deities, energy channels are opened, chakras are activated, and a feeling of enlightenment is created.
Germany was a reluctant ally in World War II, until the Soviet Union and the United States formed an alliance. After the war, the different systems, processes, and cultures of these countries made them difficult to reconcile.
Two years after the end of the war, the public became disillusioned and the Great Depression began.
There was a Cold War for the next 40 years and, using proxy armies, a real war was fought from Africa to Asia, Afghanistan, Cuba and many other places.
Until September 17, 1939, the Polish army had already been defeated, and the only thing left to do was to retreat and reorganize in the rear of the German offensive.
However, these plans were morally repugnant for almost a day when more than 800,000 soldiers of the Red Army of the Soviet Union and created the Baltic and Ukrainian fronts after occupying the eastern regions of Poland, violating the Riga Peace Treaty, the Treaty of Non-Aggression between the Soviet Union and Poland and other international agreements.
The use of ships for transporting goods has always been the most effective way to move large numbers of people and goods across oceans.
The Navy's traditional mission has been to ensure that your country has the ability to move its people and goods around the world at the same time as denying the enemy the ability to move their people and goods around the world.
One of the most notable failures of intelligence in recent times was the Second World War North Atlantic Campaign. The Americans tried to intercept the virus and materials across the Atlantic to help Britain.
At the time, the German navy, mainly using submarines, tried to break up the convoy.
If it was not acceptable to the public, Britain, most likely, would have left the EU together with the rest of Europe.
Cattle were first domesticated approximately 10,000 years ago in the Zagros Mountains of Iran.
Older people and children began to hunt because they could easily get milk, meat, grain and vegetables.
House cats were often kept in cages that were placed on tables and other high places, and were fed by hand, usually children or servants, as was more commonly the case with pet cats. These feeding methods are still used today.
Wagons were built in England in the 16th century.
Though the railroad was composed only of parallel lines of coal cars, it allowed wagons to travel faster and carry heavier loads than they could on time-consuming dirt roads.
Gulshnevs started using them before his first competition, to avoid injuries. However, he now believes that they would be even more effective if they were made of metal.
It became a regular practice, but the weight of the larger wagons caused the smaller ones to sink into the ground.
The roof was covered with wooden shingles in 1767.
The first known form of bipedalism was climbing, with humans climbing trees up to two million years ago, becoming Homo Erectus (meaning upright man).
The australopithecines were able to stand upright thanks to their forearms.
Bipedalism has already been found in the fossilized remains of Australopithecus, which lived between 4.2 and 3.9 million years ago, and it is possible that bipedalism evolved in our ancestors as far back as 7 million years ago.
We can live more sustainably, we can contribute to nature, and we can even be activists to reduce our impact on future generations.
In many ways, symptomatic treatment is like symptomatic medicine. But if we don't want to just treat the symptoms, we need to find the problem and deactivate it.
It is clear that the world has changed due to the scientific and technological achievements of mankind, and the problems have become more complex due to overpopulation and the extravagant lifestyle of people.
After it was passed by Congress on July 4, the document signed by President John Hancock and Secretary Charles Thomson was sent to John Dunlap's printing shop, which was across the street.
Between 150 and 200 copies were made at night, which are now known as the "Dunlap broadsides" (Declaration of Independence).
The first public reading of the document took place at the Independence Hall in Philadelphia on July 8.
One copy was sent to George Washington on July 6, and he returned it to his headquarters in New York on July 9. Another copy arrived in London on August 10.
The 25 "Dunlap broadsides," as they are known, are the oldest surviving copies of the Declaration of Independence. The original, hand-written document has not survived.
Many paleontologists believe that one dinosaur group survived and is still alive today. We call them birds.
Many people don't call them dinosaurs because they have feathers and they fly.
But there are many similarities between birds and dinosaurs.
They have tails with feathers and claws, they swim and climb trees like a Tyrannosaurus Rex.
Nearly all of the computers in use today are vulnerable to manipulation of the information that is encoded in binary form.
A binary number can have only two values, 0 or 1, and these values are called binary digits, or bits in computer science.
Early symptoms of prostate cancer can be hard to spot. Symptoms such as difficulty urinating are more common, making it harder to diagnose early.
The most common symptoms of food poisoning are vomiting and diarrhea.
Print the first aid instructions on the label.
The term "vabole" is used by this group of entomologists in a formal sense.
The term is derived from an old association with blood-sucking parasites.
Both parasitic wasps and parasitic ants are parasites that have evolved to live off other insects or to invade the nests of other insects.
The United States has registered more than 400,000 multiple sclerosis cases, making it the most common neurological disease among young adults and children.
MS is a disease that affects the central nervous system, which includes the brain, spinal cord and optic nerves.
Studies have shown that women are twice as likely to die from MS than men.
The couple may feel that the child's weight gain is not their own or their child's concern.
These couples can choose to create an adoption plan.
In an adoption case, the biological parents' parental rights are terminated so that another couple can become the child's parents.
The main goal of science is to use scientific methods to understand how the world works. In practice, this is the strength of scientific inquiry.
There are also experiments, and experiments are tests that are used to test one or more possible hypotheses. The formulation and testing of hypotheses also constitutes scientific research.
Naturalists and philosophers concentrated on classical texts, especially the Bible in Latin.
Aristotle's writings covered all aspects of science, including psychology.
The smaller the number of people who knew Greek, the more the West was cut off from its Greek philosophical and scientific heritage.
The endogenous circadian rhythms and the process of their formation, taking into account the biological clock, have a significant impact on many well-known rhythms in psychology and behavior.
Periodic rhythms, which are not directly related to periodic signals from the environment, are found in most living organisms, including bacteria, plants, insects and animals.
Biological oscillators are self-sustaining oscillators that can operate without external input.
Hershey and Chase's experiment was one of the most important demonstrations that DNA is a genetic material.
Hersey and Chess used bacteriophages, viruses that infect bacteria, to insert DNA into the bacteria.
They conducted two experiments, either exposing the DNA to radioactive phosphorus or exposing the bacteria to radioactive sulfur.
Mutations can have a variety of effects depending on the type of mutation, the importance of the affected gene, and whether the mutation is in a coding or non-coding region of the gene.
Children should only be allowed to wear ear defenders on the firing line, but ear defenders can be worn elsewhere on the range by shooters or spectators.
Nature tourism attracts such people who are interested in exploring the natural territory, including bears and wolves.
Activities such as swimming, fishing, photography, bird watching, or exploring the park and learning about the ecosystem can be done here.
As an example, Borneo Orangutan Sanctuary can be visited to take photos and see orangutans.
People from small towns in the countryside drive to their workplaces in their cars, but when they arrive at their workplaces, they are greeted by others who they have never met before.
Every bus in this dynamic transportation system is in some way connected and supports a transportation system that relies on private automobiles.
Scientists now believe that the economy's heavy reliance on fossil fuels is undermining one of the planet's most stable ecosystems, which has underpinned human evolution for the past two million years.
One is part of the community and part of the transport system. Almost everyone complains about the transport system.
In developed countries, you are more likely to hear about similar lawsuits over water quality or pollution.
Why are these lawsuits being filed against transportation systems, why do they have problems every day? Are the transportation engineers incompetent? Or are the problems just too big?
Aeronautics is the study of the design, development, production, operation, and use of aircraft and spacecraft.
Unfortunately, it is difficult to assess the extent of the damage, because it is impossible to predict the driver's behavior with 100 percent certainty.
Most of the time, the consequences of a driver's actions can be expressed in terms of a range of possible outcomes and their probabilities can be calculated mathematically.
To better understand the magnitude of an earthquake, three main scales have been devised: (1) magnitude, (2) intensity and (3) depth.
These relationships help in the planning, designing and implementation of infrastructure projects.
Insects were the first animals to take to the air. They were able to fly away from predators, as well as find food and mates more efficiently.
The turtle's shell is such an effective defense that it can flip a predator onto its back, exposing its belly to attack.
It gave them a little bit of breathing room to get away from the crowd.
The only mammals that cannot move their ears are monotremes and marsupials.
Before thousands of years, a man named Aristarchus said that the sun revolves around the sun.
Some thought it was a shooting star, but many thought it was a satellite orbiting the Earth, including the Sun (and other stars).
It seems strange, doesn't it, that the Earth is round, or isn't it?
Amazon is the second-largest and widest river in the world. It holds more than eight times the water volume of the second-largest river basin.
Amazon is also the lowest point on Earth, six feet below sea level.
The Amazon basin holds 20 percent of the world's fresh water, which flows into the oceans from all over the world.
The Amazon River is 6,387 km (3,980 mi) long. It drains water from thousands of small tributaries.
While pyramid-building from the top down continued until the end of the Old Kingdom, the Great Pyramid, after its initial construction, underwent a long period of technical refinement.
Egyptian mummies from the New Kingdom, dating back more than 3,000 years, were among the finds.
The Vatican has a population of about 800, making it the smallest independent country in the world and the country with the lowest population.
The Vatican uses Italian in its legal documents and official announcements.
Italian is also the everyday language of the majority of the population, but Latin is often used for religious ceremonies.
All inhabitants of the Vatican are Roman Catholics.
People have known about chemical elements such as gold, silver and copper for thousands of years because they are all found in nature and are relatively easy to extract with simple tools.
Philosopher Aristotle proposed the theory that everything is composed of one or more fundamental substances. These substances were earth, water, air and fire.
It's made up of four basic building blocks: protons, neutrons, electrons and quarks, though he also posited that they are made up of new particles to explain what we see.
The periodic table is made up of two or more metallic elements. Don't forget that the periodic table contains many chemical elements.
Elements such as calcium and potassium are considered metals. Of course, there are also metals that are soft and yellow.
There may also be such proposals in which there is a small amount of non-metallic elements, for example, oxygen.
Everything in the universe is made of matter. All matter is made of tiny particles called atoms.
Atoms are so small that a single point at the end of this sentence would contain trillions of atoms.
So when the bear showed up, it was a good friend to a lot of people.
Fortunately, by introducing new writing systems, the status of the alphabet began to decline, and it was used less and less.
Now people write reports on the computer screen, and there is no less need for a secretary.
We can only speculate on how the controls will change when a new model is released.
The atomic bomb works on the principle that it is necessary to have energy to split the uranium with many protons and neutrons.
As the snow melts, water runs down the mountainside. Some of this energy is freed.
Some atoms have unstable nuclei, which means they have a tendency to break down into smaller nuclei or simply disappear.
The moon's surface is covered in craters and valleys. The moon's dark side is called the far side.
In the upper part of the Garoze there is a 70 km long river, and in the lower part - a 100 km long river.
It is planned to be built at the base of the hill and to go up the hill.
There might have been more of the Moon's ocean at the bottom because the crust is thinner. If it had been closer to the surface, it would have cooled more quickly.
A theory of mind is the ability to understand what other people are thinking or feeling.
These theories suggest that people have needs and desires that, over time, become internalized.
These theories explain why some people are more likely to do things that they want to do, and why some people are more likely to do things that they don't want to do.
Two popular theories are Maslow's hierarchy of needs and Herzberg's two-factor theory.
Leaders who take over their former colleagues can appear in two ways. One is to maintain the status quo.
Managers of this type find it difficult to make unpopular decisions, to carry out disciplinary procedures, to make judgments about performance, to delegate and to motivate people.
The manager of the second-placed team becomes an unsung hero, someone who has to take all the credit for what the team has done so far and take the blame for any failures.
The team leader is fully responsible for the team's achievements and failures.
Such a move often causes disagreements between leaders and the rest of the team.
Virtual teams are held to the same standards as face-to-face teams, but there are some differences.
Members of a virtual team often act as a communications hub for their physical counterparts.
They often have more autonomy than their teammates on the bench, because their team can adapt to different time zones that their local management may not be aware of.
The "invisible committee" (p. 109, Larson and LaFast's book, published in 1989) is also a unique virtual team.
The "invisible team" is the management team that communicates with every team member. The invisible team sets the standards for each team member.
Why does an organization choose to invest time in developing a learning organization process? One of the reasons is innovation.
If all available resources are effectively used in the functional departments of the organization, efficiency and effectiveness can be achieved.
As a result of the process, in which the organization works together to solve problems, a new, innovative process can be created to meet the customer's needs.
Before an organization embraces innovation, its leaders must cultivate an innovation culture, as well as the organization itself, where knowledge is shared and continuous learning takes place.
Endeavour (2006) explains non-performance as a method to help organisations achieve higher levels of performance.
Non-biological data provides the power to test the predictions of theoretical models. Thus, it constrains the models and makes them more precise.
The researchers' findings are supported by a correlation between brain pathology and behavior.
It is already known that different types of brain injuries, traumas, concussions and other injuries affect the brain and cause changes in different brain functions.
The advancement of new technologies allows us to see and understand structures and processes that were previously invisible.
It gives us a lot of information and material to create simulation models that help us understand our natural processes.
While aesthetic intelligence is often associated with science fiction, it is a highly sophisticated computer vision system that seeks to understand technology, learning, and intelligence.
AI research machines automate tasks that require programmed intelligence.
As an example, you can mention the control, planning, and graphic creation, the ability to respond to the client's questions and make a diagnosis, as well as the ability to review the text, proofread, and edit.
These areas have become separate from the mainstream, where solutions to real-world problems are developed.
AI is now widely used in economics, medicine, engineering, and the military, as well as in many home computer and video game programs.
Field trips make up a large part of the learning process. Often, one teacher will take a group of students to places that cannot be reached by bus.
Technology offers virtual field trips. Students, sitting with their classmates, can view museum artifacts, visit an aquarium or admire a work of art.
Virtual field trips are a great way to engage students and connect with future classes.
For example, each year Benet Academy students in North Carolina create a website about their trip to the state capital and each year the website is updated but the previous versions are kept online as a historical archive.
Emoji can also help students improve their writing skills. At first, when students start using emoji in their writing, they may not be confident in grammar and punctuation, but the reader usually picks up on it.
As students often are the most critical of their own work, the author of the essay begins to polish his writing in order to avoid criticism.
At the same time, writing an essay "helps students to understand the world around them." Lack of motivation makes students uninterested and unmotivated (Toto, 2004).
Writing an essay is a skill that encourages collaboration and stimulates students to learn outside of the classroom.
The use of e-learning can stimulate students to think analytically and critically. By actively using the available materials on the Internet, students can define their own position in the context of other writings, as well as express their opinion on specific issues (Oravec, 2002).
Ottawa is a charming, bilingual capital city with many fine art galleries and museums that celebrate Canada's past and present.
To the south is Niagara Falls, while to the north lies Muskoka's unspoiled natural beauty and much more.
All of that, and so much more, is what brings people to Ontario, which many consider to be the real Canada.
Wide-open spaces to the north are sparsely populated, and some places are as empty as a meadow.
The U.S. population of African-Americans is much larger than Canada's total population.
The East African Rift lies in the Indian Ocean off the east coast of Africa.
Madagascar is the world's fourth-largest island, and when talking about its wildlife, it's like an entire continent.

Women: All women travelling alone are advised to say they are married, regardless of their actual marital status.
There is also the option of buying a pre-cooked turkey (but not one that looks like it's been cooked for too long.
Women need to be told that cultural differences can lead to situations that can be perceived as threatening, and nothing happens if a woman slaps a man in the face.
Don't underestimate men and don't disrespect them (it doesn't matter if it's a cultural difference or not, it's just the way it is and you have to accept it).
The city of Casablanca was founded by Berber tribes in the 10th century before our era, and Phoenicians, Romans, and Mercenaries used it as a strategic outpost with the name Anfa.
The Portuguese rebuilt and renamed it Casabranca after the 1755 earthquake.
Morocco's sultan turned the city into Dar el-Badi, and Spanish traders, who had established trading posts, called it Casablanca.
Casablanca is one of the most interesting places to visit in all of Morocco.
In the old town of Marrakech, it is easy to find places where you can buy traditional Moroccan handicrafts, such as tagines, ceramics, food, water pipes and all kinds of souvenirs, but it is all aimed at tourists.
Goma is a tourist-friendly city in the Democratic Republic of Congo, located on the country's eastern border with Rwanda.
In 2002, Goma was devastated by lava from the Nyiragongo volcano, which flowed through the city's streets, especially in the center.
While Goma is safe, all flights in and out of Goma must be monitored to assess the current situation in North Kivu province.
The city is also a starting point for hiking up the slopes of Mount Nyiragongo, one of the few remaining mountain gorilla habitats in Africa.
To get around in Goma, one can use "boda-boda" (motorcycle taxi). The price for a short ride is 500 Congolese francs.
Because it's so hard to get there, Timbuktu has become a metaphor for the exotic, far-flung corners of the world.
Today Timbuktu is an isolated town, although its reputation makes it a popular tourist destination and it has an airport.
It was added to the List of World Heritage in Danger in 1990 due to logging of the rainforest.
It was one of the main points of contention in the PBS documentary "Henrietta Lacks' cells: An Ethical Dilemma."
The city is beautiful compared to other foreign cities because there are more Arabs than Africans.

The Sundarbans is the world's largest mangrove forest, spread over 8,000 sq km (5,000 sq miles) on the coast of Bangladesh and India's West Bengal state.
The Sundarbans is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. A part of the forest in India is known as the Sundarbans National Park.
The forests, however, are not just mangroves - they also contain some of the last remnants of the ancient rainforests that once covered much of the Ganges basin.
The Sundarbans covers an area of 3,850 square kilometres (1,500 sq mi), of which about a third is water, mudflats or salt marshes.
Sunderbans has been a wildlife sanctuary since 1966, and it is believed that there are now 400 Royal Bengal tigers and 30,000 spotted deer in the area.
Buses depart from the bus station (opposite the train station) all day long, but most, especially eastbound and the Jakarta/Bumthang buses, depart between 6:30am and 7:30am.

The Guarani were the most important indigenous group to inhabit today's Paraguay, living in the eastern part of the country as hunter-gatherers who also practiced agriculture.
Other hunter-gatherer groups lived in the Chaco region, such as the Guaicuro and Pajaro, who engaged in hunting, gathering, and fishing.
The land that is now Paraguay was inhabited by Spanish colonists and indigenous peoples as early as the 16th century.
The Spanish began a three-century colonization period.
Since the founding of Asunción in 1537, Paraguay has been able to preserve much of its indigenous writing and identity.

Credit cards may not be accepted in the next room, so be sure to ask in advance what form of payment will be accepted.
It is almost impossible to compare the value of Folkland's land outside of its territory, so it is best to use common sense before visiting.
Because Montevideo is located two degrees south of the equator, it is summer when the northern hemisphere is in winter, and vice versa.
Montevideo is located in a subtropical climate zone; the average summer temperature is around 30 °C (86 °F).
The air can be deceptively warm: temperatures hover just above freezing, but if there's a breeze and sunshine, it feels much warmer than a thermometer would suggest.
There is no real "summer" and "winter" seasons: the sun is always high in the sky all year round.
While many park animals are accustomed to seeing people, wild animals are wild, and they cannot be approached or touched.
A minimum of 100 yards/meters must be maintained from lakes and streams, and 25 yards/meters from all other wildlife!
Even though they look harmless, bison, bears, North American bears, lynx and all large animals can be dangerous.
Each year tens of thousands of hikers are rescued because they didn't leave enough distance between themselves and the animals. These animals are large, aggressive and can be dangerous, so it's best to stay away from them on the ground.
Also remember that mosquitoes feed on other small animals, so avoid cooking or preparing aromatic foods and keep a mosquito net handy.

On wet and slippery surfaces there is little grip, so you can't brake as hard as you would on dry asphalt.
Heavy snowfall in a short period of time can cause a lot of snow to accumulate, which can lead to avalanches.
Visibility can also be limited by snow, fog, condensation or ice on transport equipment.
From the second half of the year onwards, rainfall and snowfall are more common in many countries, so the risk of flooding increases throughout the year.
Safari is probably the biggest tourist attraction in Africa and one of the most sought-after experiences.
The popular term "safari" is derived from the Swahili word safari, meaning "journey" or "expedition".
