Excerpt: Grace Patricia Kelly (November 12, 1929 ¿ September 14, 1982) was an American actress of Irish and German heritage and Princess consort of Monaco. In April 1956 Kelly married Rainier III, Prince of Monaco, and became styled as Her Serene Highness The Princess of Monaco, and was commonly referred to as Princess Grace. After embarking on an acting career in 1950, at the age of 20, Grace Kelly appeared in New York City theatrical productions as well as in more than forty episodes of live drama productions broadcast during the early 1950s Golden Age of Television. In October 1953, with the release of Mogambo, she became a movie star, a status confirmed in 1954 with a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nomination as well as leading roles in five films, including The Country Girl, in which she gave a deglamorized, Academy Award-winning performance. She retired from acting at 26 to enter upon her duties in Monaco. She and Prince Rainier had three children: Caroline, Albert, and Stéphanie. She also retained her American roots, maintaining dual US and Monégasque citizenships. She died on September 14, 1982, two months before her 53rd birthday, when she lost control of her automobile and crashed after suffering a stroke. Her daughter Princess Stéphanie, who was in the car with her, survived the accident. In June 1999, the American Film Institute ranked her #13 in their list of top female stars of American cinema. A native of Philadelphia, Grace Kelly was born to John Brendan 'Jack' Kelly (October 4, 1889¿June 20, 1960), and his wife, Margaret Katherine Majer (b. Schloss Helmsdorf, Germany, December 13, 1898¿January 6, 1990). The newborn was named in memory of her father's sister, who had died at a young age. She was raised Catholic by her German-Irish Democrat parents. Before her marriage, Majer studied physical education at Temple University and later became the first woman to head the Physical Education Department at the University of Pennsylvania.

Extracto: Arrival es el nombre del cuarto álbum de estudio del grupo sueco ABBA y fue lanzado en octubre de 1976. El álbum contiene la canción más exitosa del grupo, 'Dancing Queen', así como los éxitos de 'Fernando', 'Knowing Me, Knowing You' y 'Money, Money, Money'. En el 2006, se publicó una 'Edición de Lujo' del álbum con diversos bonus tracks y un DVD con presentaciones y especiales de televisión. Las primeras sesiones para grabar Arrival, comenzaron el 4 de agosto de 1975. En ese primer día se comenzaron tres canciones; las dos primeras, 'Olle Olle' y 'Rock'n Roll', nunca fueron terminadas. No obstante, la otra pista, se convirtió en la canción más conocida del álbum (y probablemente del grupo): 'Boogaloo', que con la letra de Stig Anderson tomó el nombre de 'Dancing Queen', se convirtió en el sencillo de más éxito del grupo a mediados de 1976, alcanzando el número uno en más de doce países de distintos continentes. Al día siguiente, el 5 de agosto, fue grabada la pista 'Tango', posteriormente llamada 'Fernando'. Originalmente, 'Fernando' no estaba pensado para ser grabado por el grupo, sino por Frida. Después de que la versión en sueco se convirtiera en un éxito en Suecia, el grupo lanzó una versión en inglés como primer sencillo de las sesiones para el álbum Arrival. Sin embargo, 'Fernando' no fue incluido en este disco, pero más tarde se incluyó como bonus track. Fue hasta el 23 de marzo de 1976, que ABBA por fin tuvo el tiempo para regresar al estudio grabando la pista de 'Knowing Me, Knowing You', canción que sería lanzada como tercer sencillo del álbum a principios de 1977.

Postcard of Gjerstad church and rectory in 1890 95. The main building of the rectory was the same as when Abel lived here. Niels Henrik Abel was born in Nedstrand, Norway, as second child to Søren Georg Abel and Anne Marie Simonsen. When he was born, the family was living at the rectory at Finnøy. Much suggests that Niels Henrik was born in the neighboring parish, as his parents were guests of the bailiff in Nedstrand in July / August of his year of birth. Niels Henrik Abel's father, Søren Georg Abel, had a degree in theology and philosophy and served as pastor at Finnøy. Søren's father, Niels's grandfather, Hans Mathias Abel, was also a pastor, at Gjerstad near Risør. Søren had spent his childhood at Gjerstad, and had also served as chaplain there; and after his father's death in 1804, Søren was appointed pastor at Gjerstad and the family moved there. Anne Marie Simonsen was from Risør; her father, Niels Henrik Saxild Simonsen, was a tradesman and merchant ship-owner, and said to be the richest person in Risør. Anne Marie had grown up with two stepmothers, in relative luxurious surroundings. At Gjerstad rectory, she enjoyed arranging balls and social gatherings. Much suggests she was early on an alcoholic and took little interest in the upbringing of the children. Niels Henrik and his brothers were given their schooling by their father, with handwritten books to read. Interestingly, an addition table in a book of mathematics reads: 1+0=0. With Norwegian independence, and first election held in Norway, in 1814, Søren Abel was elected as a representative to the Storting. Meetings of the Storting were held until 1866 in the main hall of the Cathedral School in Christiania (now known as Oslo). Almost certainly this is how he came into contact with the school, and he decided that his eldest son, Hans Mathias, shou 28 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Stephen Peter Marriott (30 January 1947 20 April 1991), popularly known as Steve Marriott, was an English singer-songwriter, guitarist and musician. He is best remembered for his powerful singing voice which belied his small stature, and for his aggressive guitar playing in the rock groups the Small Faces (1965 1969) and Humble Pie (1969 1975 and 1980 1981). In Britain, Marriott became a popular, often-photographed mod style icon through his role as lead singer and guitarist with the Small Faces in the mid to late sixties. Marriott was influenced from an early age by his heroes including Buddy Holly, Booker T & the MG's, Ray Charles, Otis Redding, Muddy Waters and Bobby Bland. In later life Marriott became disillusioned with the music industry and turned his back on the big record companies, remaining in relative obscurity. He returned to his music roots playing the pubs and clubs around London and Essex. Marriott died on 20 April 1991 when a fire, thought to have been caused by a cigarette, swept through his 16th-century home in Arkesden, Essex. He posthumously received an Ivor Novello Award in 1996 for his Outstanding Contribution to British Music, and was listed in Mojo as one of the top 100 greatest singers of all time. Black Sabbath frontman, Ozzy Osbourne, named Marriott the fourth greatest singer and Clem Burke of Blondie named him the sixteenth greatest singer and wrote under his name, 'greatest rock singe.' Paul Stanley of Kiss has said, 'He had a great voice' and went on to say, 'Steve Marriott was unbelievable'. Keith Richards listed Marriott as one of his five favourite artists of all time. Steve Perry, of Journey fame, has claimed that, 'One of my favourite vocalists was Steve Marriott.' Steve Marriott was born on 30 January 1947, at East Ham Hospital, Manor Park, Essex, (now London), England to parents Kay and Bill Marriott who lived at Strone Road, Manor Park. Born three weeks premature and weighing just 4 lb. 4 oz., he developed jaundice and was ke 30 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: The I Ching (Wade-Giles) or 'Yì Jing' (pinyin), also known as the Book of Changes, Classic of Changes, and Zhouyi, is one of the oldest of the Chinese classic texts. The book contains a divination system comparable to Western geomancy or the West African Ifá system; in Western cultures and modern East Asia, it is still widely used for this purpose. The earliest extant version of the text, written on bamboo slips, albeit incomplete, is the Chujian Zhouyi, and dates to the latter half of the Warring States period (mid 4th to early 3rd century BC), and certainly cannot be later than 223 BC, when Chu was conquered by Qin. It is essentially the same as the standard text, except for a few significant variora. During the Warring States Period, the text was re-interpreted as a system of cosmology and philosophy that subsequently became intrinsic to Chinese culture. It centred on the ideas of the dynamic balance of opposites, the evolution of events as a process, and acceptance of the inevitability of change. The standard text originated from the ancient text (--) transmitted by Fei Zhi (--, c. 50 BC-10 AD) of the Han Dynasty. During the Han Dynasty this version competed with the bowdlerised new text (--) version transmitted by Tian He at the beginning of the Western Han. However, by the time of the Tang Dynasty the ancient text version, which survived Qin s book-burning by being preserved amongst the peasantry, became the accepted norm among Chinese scholars. Traditionally it was believed that the principles of the I Ching originated with the mythical Fu Xi (-- Fú Xi). In this respect he is seen as an early culture hero, one of the earliest legendary rulers of China (traditional dates 2800 BC-2737 BC), reputed to have had the 8 trigrams (-- ba guà) revealed to him supernaturally. By the time of the legendary Yu (-- Yu) 2194 BC 2149 BC, the trigrams had supposedly been developed into 64 hexagrams (-- lìu shí sì gùa), which were recorded in the scripture Lian Shan ('--' 30 pp. Englisch.

Capítulos: Los ríos profundos, Todas las sangres, El zorro de arriba y el zorro de abajo, Yawar Fiesta, El Sexto, Diamantes y pedernales. Extracto: Los ríos profundos es la tercera novela del escritor peruano José María Arguedas. Publicada por la Editorial Losada en Buenos Aires (1958), recibió en el Perú el Premio Nacional de Fomento a la Cultura 'Ricardo Palma' (1959) y fue finalista en Estados Unidos del premio William Faulkner (1963). Desde entonces creció el interés de la crítica por la obra de Arguedas y en las décadas siguientes el libro se tradujo a varios idiomas. Según la crítica especializada, esta novela marcó el comienzo de la corriente neoindigenista, pues presentaba por primera vez una lectura del problema del indio desde una perspectiva más cercana. La mayoría de los críticos coinciden en que esta novela es la obra maestra de Arguedas. El título de la obra (en quechua Uku Mayu) alude a la profundidad de los ríos andinos, que nacen en la cima de la Cordillera de los Andes, pero a la vez se refiere a las sólidas y ancestrales raíces de la cultura andina, la que, según Arguedas, es la verdadera identidad nacional del Perú. Los últimos años de la década de 1950 fueron para Arguedas muy fértiles en cuanto a producción literaria. El libro apareció cuando el Indigenismo se hallaba en pleno apogeo en el Perú. El ministro de Educación de aquel entonces, Luis E. Valcárcel, organizó el Museo de la Cultura, institución que propició con mucha decisión los estudios indigenistas. Por otro lado, con la publicación de Los ríos profundos se inició un irreversible proceso de valoración de la obra arguediana tanto en el Perú como a nivel continental. La génesis de la novela sería el cuento 'Warma kuyay' (que forma parte del libro de cuentos Agua, publicado en 1935), uno de cuyos personajes es el niño Ernesto, inconfundiblemente el mismo Ernesto de Los ríos profundos. Un texto de Arguedas que apareció publicado en 1948 bajo la forma de relato autobiográfico (Las Moradas, vol. II, Nº 4, Lima, abril de 1948, pp. 53-59), conformaría después el segundo capítulo de la novela bajo el título de 'Los viajes'. En 1950 Argued 32 pp. Spanisch.

Excerpt: Ion Luca Caragiale (Romanian pronunciation: ; commonly referred to as I. L. Caragiale; February 13 1852 July 9, 1912) was a Wallachian-born Romanian playwright, short story writer, poet, theater manager, political commentator and journalist. Leaving behind an important cultural legacy, he is considered one of the greatest playwrights in Romanian language and literature, as well as one of its most important writers and a leading representative of local humor. Alongside Mihai Eminescu, Ioan Slavici and Ion Creanga, he is seen as one of the main representatives of Junimea, an influential literary society with which he nonetheless parted during the second half of his life. His work, spanning four decades, covers the ground between Neoclassicism, Realism, and Naturalism, building on an original synthesis of foreign and local influences. Although few in number, Caragiale's plays constitute the most accomplished expression of Romanian theater, as well as being important venues for criticism of late 19th-century Romanian society. They include the comedies O noapte furtunoasa, Conu Leonida fata cu reactiunea, O scrisoare pierduta, and the tragedy Napasta. In addition to these, Caragiale authored the melodrama O soacra, a large number of essays, articles, short stories, novellas and sketch stories, as well as occasional works of poetry and autobiographical texts such as Din carnetul unui vechi sufleur. In many cases, his creations were first published in one of several magazines he edited Claponul, Moftul Român, Vatra and Epoca. Most of his prose works have been published under the title Momente si schite: they include Caldura mare, Canuta om sucit, Doua loturi, Grand Hotel 'Victoria româna', as well as several pieces referring to stock characters such as Lache and Mache, Marius Chicos Rostogan and Mitica. In some of his later fiction writings, including La hanul lui Mânjoala, Kir Ianulea, Abu-Hasan, Pastrama trufanda and Calul dracului, Caragiale adopted the fantasy genre 36 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: The 14th Dalai Lama (religious name: Tenzin Gyatso, shortened from Jetsun Jamphel Ngawang Lobsang Yeshe Tenzin Gyatso, born Lhamo Dondrub, 6 July 1935) is the 14th and current Dalai Lama. Dalai Lamas are the most influential figures in the Gelugpa lineage of Tibetan Buddhism, although the 14th has consolidated control over the other lineages in recent years. He won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989, and is also well known for his lifelong advocacy for Tibetans inside and outside Tibet. Tibetans traditionally believe him to be the reincarnation of his predecessors and a manifestation of the Bodhisattva of Compassion. The Dalai Lama was born in Taktser, Qinghai, and was selected as the rebirth of the 13th Dalai Lama two years later, although he was only formally recognized as the 14th on 17 November 1950, at the age of 15. He inherited control over a government controlling an area roughly corresponding to the Tibet Autonomous Region just as the nascent People's Republic of China wished to reassert central control over it. There is a dispute over whether the respective governments reached an agreement for a joint Communist-Lamaist administration. During the 1959 Tibetan uprising, which China regards as an uprising of feudal landlords, the Dalai Lama, who regards the uprising as an expression of widespread discontent, fled to India, where he denounced the People's Republic and established a Tibetan government in exile. A charismatic speaker, he has since traveled the world, advocating for the welfare of Tibetans, teaching Tibetan Buddhism and talking about the importance of compassion as the source of a happy life. Around the world, institutions face pressure from China not to accept him. He has spoken about such topics as abortion, economics, firearms, and sexuality, and has attracted controversy for his treatment of Dorje Shugden followers, his relationship with the CIA, and other issues. The Dalai Lama as a boy Lhamo Döndrub (or Thondup) was born on 6 July 1935 to a farm 36 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Goulash (plural: goulashes) is a European soup or stew of meat and vegetables (especially onion), seasoned with paprika and other spices. The name originates from the Hungarian gulyás ( )), the word for a cattle stockman or herdsman. Goulash is also a popular meal in the Czech Republic and Slovakia. Gulyás in a traditional 'bogrács' (cauldron) Hungarian Gulyásleves, Goulash soup In Hungarian cuisine, traditional gulyásleves (lit. 'goulash soup'), bográcsgulyás, pörkölt, and paprikás are thick stews made by cattle herders and stockmen. Garlic, tomato, caraway seed, bell pepper, and wine are optional. One may alternatively prepare these dishes as soups rather than stews. Excepting paprikás, the Hungarian stews do not rely on a flour or roux for thickening. Hungarian GoulashGoulash can be prepared from beef, veal, pork, or lamb. Typical cuts include the shank, shin, or shoulder; as a result, goulash derives its thickness from tough, well-exercised muscles rich in collagen, which is converted to gelatin during the cooking process. Meat is cut into chunks, seasoned with salt, and then browned with sliced onions in a pot with oil or lard. Paprika is added, along with water or stock, and the goulash is left to simmer. After cooking a while, garlic, whole or ground caraway seeds, or soup vegetables like carrot, parsnip, peppers (green or bell pepper), celery and a small tomato may be added. Other herbs and spices could also be added, especially hot chili peppers, bay leaf and thyme. Diced potatoes may be added, since they provide starch as they cook, which makes the goulash thicker and smoother. A small amount of white wine or wine vinegar may also be added near the end of cooking to round the taste. Goulash may be served with small egg noodles called csipetke. The name Csipetke comes from pinching small, fingernail-sized bits out of the dough (csip =pinch) before adding them to the boiling soup.

Excerpt: Maurits Cornelis Escher (17 June 1898 27 March 1972), usually referred to as M.C. Escher (English pronunciation: , Dutch: ), was a Dutch graphic artist. He is known for his often mathematically inspired woodcuts, lithographs, and mezzotints. These feature impossible constructions, explorations of infinity, architecture, and tessellations. Maurits Cornelis, nicknamed 'Mauk', was born in Leeuwarden, The Netherlands, in a house that forms part of the Princessehof Ceramics Museum today. He was the youngest son of civil engineer George Arnold Escher and his second wife, Sara Gleichman. In 1903, the family moved to Arnhem where he attended primary school and secondary school until 1918. He was a sickly child, and was placed in a special school at the age of seven and failed the second grade. Though he excelled at drawing, his grades were generally poor. He also took carpentry and piano lessons until he was thirteen years old. In 1919, Escher attended the Haarlem School of Architecture and Decorative Arts. He briefly studied architecture, but he failed a number of subjects (partly due to a persistent skin infection) and switched to decorative arts. Here he studied under Samuel Jessurun de Mesquita, with whom he would remain friends for years. In 1922 Escher left the school, having gained experience in drawing and making woodcuts. In 1922, an important year of his life, Escher traveled through Italy (Florence, San Gimignano, Volterra, Siena, Ravello) and Spain (Madrid, Toledo, Granada). He was impressed by the Italian countryside and by the Alhambra, a fourteenth-century Moorish castle in Granada, Spain. He came back to Italy regularly in the following years. In Italy he met Jetta Umiker, whom he married in 1924. The young couple settled down in Rome and stayed there until 1935, when the political climate under Mussolini became unbearable. Their son, Giorgio Arnaldo Escher, named after his grandfather, was born in Rome. The family next moved to Château-d' x, Switzerland, 42 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Gianclaudio Giuseppe 'Clay' Regazzoni (September 5, 1939 December 15, 2006) was a Swiss racing car driver. He competed in Formula One races from 1970 to 1980, winning five Grands Prix. His first win was the Italian Grand Prix at Monza in his debut season, driving for Ferrari. He remained with the Italian team until 1972. After a single season with BRM, Regazzoni returned to Ferrari for a further three years, 1974 to 1976. After finally leaving Ferrari at the end of 1976, Regazzoni joined the Ensign and Shadow teams, before moving to Williams in 1979, where he took the British team's first ever Grand Prix victory, the 1979 British Grand Prix at Silverstone. He was replaced by Carlos Reutemann at Williams for 1980 and moved back to Ensign. Following an accident at the 1980 United States Grand Prix West he was left paralyzed from the waist down, ending his career in Formula One. Regazzoni did not stop racing, however; he competed in the Paris-Dakar rally and Sebring 12 hours using a hand controlled car during the late 1980s and early 1990s. In 1996, Regazzoni became a commentator for Italian TV. He died in a car accident in Italy on December 15, 2006. Gianclaudio Regazzoni was born in Mendrisio, Switzerland on September 5, 1939 a few days after the start of the Second World War. Regazzoni grew up in Porza, in the Canton of Ticino, part of the Italian speaking region of Switzerland. He was married to Maria Pia, with whom he had two children: Alessia and Gian Maria. Regazzoni first started competing in car races in 1963, at the comparatively late age of 24. Many of his early motorsport experiences were across the border in Italy, Switzerland having banned motor racing following the horrific accident at the 1955 24 Hours of Le Mans race. His first outings were in his own Austin-Healey Sprite, with which he took two podium finishes from . 50 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Pizza (; Italian: ) is an oven-baked, flat, disc-shaped bread typically topped with a tomato sauce, cheese and various toppings. Originating in Neapolitan cuisine, the dish has become popular in many parts of the world. An establishment that makes and sells pizzas is called a 'pizzeria'. A pizza just removed from the oven.The Ancient Greeks covered their bread with oils, herbs and cheese. In Byzantine Greek the word was spelled -- or pita, meaning pie. The word has now spread to Turkish as pide, in Balkan languages: Serbo-Croatian pita, Albanian pite, Bulgarian pita, Modern Hebrew pittah via the Judaeo-Spanish pita. Though the Hebrew word pittah is spelled like the Aramaic --/pitta, which is related to Levantine Arabic fatteh, they are not connected historically. The Romans developed placenta, a sheet of flour topped with cheese and honey and flavored with bay leaves. Modern pizza originated in Italy as the Neapolitan pie with tomato. In 1889, cheese was added. King Ferdinand I (1751 1825) is said to have disguised himself as a commoner and, in clandestine fashion, visited a poor neighborhood in Naples. One story has it that he wanted to sink his teeth into a food that the queen had banned from the royal court pizza. In 1889, during a visit in Naples, Queen Margherita of Savoy was served a pizza resembling the colors of the Italian flag, red (tomato), white (mozzarella) and green (basil). This kind of pizza has been named after the Queen as Pizza Margherita. Pizzas in a traditional wood-fired brick ovenThe bottom of the pizza, called the 'crust', may vary widely according to style thin as in a typical hand-tossed pizza or Roman pizza, or thick as in a typical pan pizza or Chicago-style pizza. It is traditionally plain, but may also be seasoned with garlic, or herbs, or stuffed with cheese. In restaurants, pizza can be baked in an oven with stone bricks above the heat source, an electric deck oven, a conveyor belt oven or, in the case of more expensive restaur 56 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Anne of Green Gables is a bestselling novel by Canadian author Lucy Maud Montgomery published in 1908. It was written as fiction for readers of all ages, but in recent decades has been considered a children's book. Montgomery found her inspiration for the book on an old piece of paper that she had written at a young age, describing a couple that were mistakenly sent an orphan girl instead of a boy, yet decided to keep her. Montgomery also drew upon her own childhood experiences in rural Prince Edward Island. Montgomery used a photograph of Evelyn Nesbit, which she had clipped from New York s Metropolitan Magazine, and pasted the framed clipping on the wall of her bedroom, as the model for the face of Anne Shirley, the book's main character. Montgomery also found inspiration in the 'formula Ann' orphan stories, the Anns without the e. Other characters, like Gilbert Blythe, were modelled, in part, on real-life characters. Montgomery wrote the novel in the twilight of the day, sitting at her window and overlooking the fields of Cavendish. Since publication, Anne of Green Gables has sold more than 50 million copies. In addition, this book is taught to students around the world. Marilla and Matthew Cuthbert, brother and sister who live together at Green Gables, a farm in Avonlea on Prince Edward Island in Canada, decide to adopt a boy from an orphan asylum in Nova Scotia as a helper on their farm. Through a series of mishaps, the person who ends up under their roof is a precocious girl of eleven named Anne Shirley. Anne is bright and quick, eager to please and talkative, and extremely imaginative. She does not see herself as beautiful, but is interesting-looking, with a pale countenance dotted with freckles, and long braids of red hair. She would really like to be called Cordelia; but she insists that if you are to call her Anne, it must be spelt with an 'E', as that spelling is 'so much more distinguished.' Being a child of imagination, however, Anne takes much joy in l 56 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Paul Ludwig Hans Anton von Beneckendorff und von Hindenburg ( )), known universally as Paul von Hindenburg (German pronunciation: ; 2 October 1847 2 August 1934) was a German field marshal, statesman, and politician, and served as the second President of Germany from 1925 to 1934. Hindenburg enjoyed a long career in the Prussian Army, retiring in 1911. He was recalled at the outbreak of World War I, and first came to national attention, at the age of 66, as the victor at Tannenberg in 1914. As Germany's Chief of the General Staff from 1916, he and his deputy, Erich Ludendorff, rose in the German public's esteem until Hindenburg came to eclipse the Kaiser himself. Hindenburg retired again in 1919, but returned to public life one more time in 1925 to be elected as the second President of Germany. Though 84 years old and in poor health, Hindenburg was persuaded to run for re-election in 1932, as he was considered the only candidate who could defeat Adolf Hitler. Hindenburg was re-elected in a runoff but nonetheless played an important role in the Nazi Party's rise to power, dissolving parliament twice in 1932 and eventually appointing Hitler as Chancellor in January 1933. In February, he issued the Reichstag Fire Decree which suspended various civil liberties, and in March he signed the Enabling Act, in which parliament gave Hitler's administration legislative powers. Hindenburg died the following year, after which Hitler declared the office of President vacant and, as 'Führer und Reichskanzler', made himself head of state. The famed zeppelin Hindenburg that was destroyed by fire in 1937 was named in his honor, as was the Hindenburgdamm, a causeway joining the island of Sylt to mainland Schleswig-Holstein that was built during his time in office. The previously German Upper Silesian town of Zabrze (German: ) was also renamed for him in 1915. SMS Hindenburg, a battlecruiser commi. 60 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Breastfeeding is the feeding of an infant or young child with breast milk directly from female human breasts (i.e., via lactation) rather than from a baby bottle or other container. Babies have a sucking reflex that enables them to suck and swallow milk. Most mothers can breastfeed for six months or more, without the addition of infant formula or solid food. Human breast milk is the healthiest form of milk for human babies. There are few exceptions, such as when the mother is taking certain drugs or is infected with human T-lymphotropic virus, HIV, or has active untreated tuberculosis. Breastfeeding promotes health and helps to prevent disease. Artificial feeding is associated with more deaths from diarrhea in infants in both developing and developed countries. Experts agree that breastfeeding is beneficial, but have conflicting views about how long breastfeeding remains beneficial. They also express concerns about the risks of using artificial formulas. The World Health Organization (WHO) and the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) emphasize the value of breastfeeding for mothers as well as children. Both recommend exclusive breastfeeding for the first six months of life and then supplemented breastfeeding for at least one year and up to two years or more. While recognizing the superiority of breastfeeding, regulating authorities also work to minimize the risks of artificial feeding. Himba woman and child.Not all the properties of breast milk are understood, but its nutrient content is relatively stable. Breast milk is made from nutrients in the mother's bloodstream and bodily stores. Breast milk has just the right amount of fat, sugar, water, and protein that is needed for a baby's growth and development. Because breastfeeding uses an average of 500 calories a day it helps the mother lose weight after giving birth. The composition of breast milk changes depending on how long the baby nurses at each session, as well as on the age of the child. The quality of a mot 62 pp. Englisch.

Excerpt: Sickle-cell disease (SCD), or sickle-cell anaemia (or anemia; SCA) or drepanocytosis, is an autosomal recessive genetic blood disorder, with overdominance, characterized by red blood cells that assume an abnormal, rigid, sickle shape. Sickling decreases the cells' flexibility and results in a risk of various complications. The sickling occurs because of a mutation in the haemoglobin gene. Life expectancy is shortened, with studies reporting an average life expectancy of 42 in males and 48 in females. Sickle-cell disease, usually presenting in childhood, occurs more commonly in people (or their descendants) from parts of tropical and sub-tropical regions where malaria is or was common. One-third of all indigenous inhabitants of Sub-Saharan Africa carry the gene, because in areas where malaria is common, there is a fitness benefit in carrying only a single sickle-cell gene (sickle cell trait). Those with only one of the two alleles of the sickle-cell disease, while not more resistant, are more tolerant of infection and thus show less severe symptoms when infected. The prevalence of the disease in the United States is approximately 1 in 5,000, mostly affecting Americans of Sub-Saharan African descent, according to the National Institutes of Health. In the United States, about 1 in 500 African-American children born will have sickle-cell anaemia. Sickle-cell anaemia is the name of a specific form of sickle-cell disease in which there is homozygosity for the mutation that causes HbS. Sickle-cell anaemia is also referred to as 'HbSS', 'SS disease', 'haemoglobin S' or permutations thereof. In heterozygous people, who have only one sickle gene and one normal adult haemoglobin gene, it is referred to as 'HbAS' or 'sickle cell trait'. Other, rarer forms of sickle-cell disease include sickle-haemoglobin C disease (HbSC), sickle beta-plus-thalassaemia (HbS/ß) and sickle beta-zero-thalassaemia (HbS/ß).

Excerpt: Known Space is the fictional setting of some dozen science fiction novels and several collections of short stories written by author Larry Niven. It has also in part been used as a shared universe in the Man-Kzin Wars spin-off anthologies sub-series. The epithet 'Known Space' is an in-universe term that refers to a relatively small part of the galaxy centered around Earth. In the future which the series depicts, ranging from a few centuries to about a millennium from now, this region has been explored by humans and a number of its worlds have been colonized. On other worlds aliens have been encountered, contact has been made with alien species such as the two-headed Pierson's Puppeteers and the aggressive felinoid Kzinti. The fictional universe is also the home of species outside Known Space as such, for instance the hominid inhabitants of a megastructure called Ringworld; the Ringworld orbits a sun outside of the spatial 'region' known as Known Space, but it is a well-established artifact within the Known Space 'universe'. The stories span approximately one thousand years of future history, from the first human explorations of the Solar System to the colonization of dozens of nearby systems. Late in the series, this area is an irregularly shaped 'bubble' about 60 light-years across. The stories that comprise the Known Space series were originally conceived as two separate series, the Belter stories, featuring solar-system colonization and slower-than-light travel with fusion-powered and Bussard ramjet ships, and the Neutron Star/Ringworld series of stories, set much further into the future, which feature faster-than-light ships using 'hyperdrive'. The two timelines were implicitly joined by Niven in the story A Relic of the Empire, in which the background elements of the Slaver civilization (introduced in World of Ptavvs, from the Belter series) was used as a plot element of a story in the faster-than-light setting. Roughly 300 years separates the timeline of the l 74 pp. Englisch.

Charles was educated at Cheam and Gordonstoun Schools, which his father, Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, had attended as a child. After earning a bachelor of arts degree from Trinity College, Cambridge, Charles served a tour of duty with the Royal Navy in 1971 76. He married Lady Diana Spencer before an enormous worldwide television audience in 1981. They had two sons, Prince William, Duke of Cambridge in 1982 and Prince Harry of Wales in 1984. The couple separated in 1992 following tabloid allegations concerning their relationship. They divorced in 1996 after Diana publicly accused Charles of having an affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, and Charles admitted adultery on television. Diana died in a car crash in Paris on 31 August 1997. In 2005, after a lengthy continued association, the Prince married Camilla, who uses the title Duchess of Cornwall. The prince is well-known for his charity work and sponsors The Prince's Trust, The Prince's Regeneration Trust, and the Prince's Foundation for the Built Environment, among other charities. He has been outspoken concerning architecture and the conservation of old buildings and has produced a book on the subject called A Vision of Britain (1989).

Its original ancestors are thought to have arrived with humans from southeast Asia thousands of years ago, when dogs were still relatively undomesticated and closer to their wild Asian Gray Wolf parent species, Canis lupus. Since then, living largely apart from people and other dogs, together with the demands of Australian ecology, has caused them to develop features and instincts that distinguish them from all other canines. 90 pp. Englisch.

Auszug: Rieppeleon brevicaudatus (früher Rhampholeon brevicaudatus) ist eine kleine Chamäleonart aus der Unterfamilie der Stummelschwanzchamäleons (Brookesiinae). Die Art ist endemisch im Osten Tansanias und im angrenzenden Süden Kenias. Rieppeleon brevicaudatus bleibt mit einer Gesamtlänge von ungefähr 90 mm, von der 1/5 auf den Schwanz entfällt, wie die meisten Stummelschwanzchamäleons sehr klein. Die Art imitiert in ihrem äußeren Erscheinungsbild ein vertrocknetes Blatt (Blattmimese). Der Körper ist blattförmig, hoch und seitlich stark abgeflacht, die Beine sind sehr grazil und beweglich. Die Zehen haben jeweils zwei Krallen, die dem Tier einen sehr guten Halt auf dünnen Ästen geben. Der Kopf ist klein und kaum vom Körper abgesetzt, ein kleiner Helmansatz zeichnet sich bei beiden Geschlechtern ab. Das Maul läuft relativ spitz zu und kann sehr weit geöffnet werden, um auch große Beutetiere zu verschlingen. Der Schwanz ist dreieckig und sehr kurz, seine Greiffunktion ist nur von rudimentärer Bedeutung. Auffallend sind die großen Augen, die von einer faltigen Lidhaut geschützt sehr weit aus den Höhlen hervortreten und unabhängig voneinander bewegt und bei Gefahr in die Augenhöhle eingezogen werden können. Dabei liefert jedes Auge für sich durch einen speziellen Linsenaufbau ein dreidimensionales Bild, so dass Entfernungen sehr genau abgeschätzt werden können. Die Augenbewegungen sind oft das einzige Zeichen, das ein ansonsten perfekt getarntes Rieppeleon brevicaudatus verrät. Wie alle Chamäleons ist auch diese Art dazu fähig, ihre Körperfarbe binnen Sekunden zu verändern, allerdings ist diese Fähigkeit bei R. brevicaudatus nur eingeschränkt vorhanden. Das vorhandene Farbspektrum reicht von verschiedenen Gelb-, Braun- und Grautönen über ein blasses Grün bis zu einer fast schwarzen Körperfärbung. Die folgenden Bilder zeigen einige typische Färbungsvarianten. Sexualdimorphismus bei Rieppeleon brevicaudatusJe nach Stimmung und Gesundheitszustand tragen insbesondere die Männ 102 pp. Deutsch.

Excerpt: Robert Ervin Howard (January 22, 1906 June 11, 1936) was an American author who wrote pulp fiction in a diverse range of genres. Best known for his character Conan the Barbarian, he is regarded as the father of the sword and sorcery subgenre. Howard was born and raised in the state of Texas. He spent most of his life in the town of Cross Plains with some time spent in the nearby Brownwood. A bookish and intellectual child, he was also a fan of boxing and spent some time in his late teens bodybuilding, eventually taking up amateur boxing himself. From the age of nine he dreamed of becoming a writer of adventure fiction but did not have real success until he was twenty-three. He was published in a wide selection of magazines, journals and newspapers but his main outlet was the pulp magazine Weird Tales. He was successful in several genres and was on the verge of publishing his first novel when he committed suicide at the age of thirty. His mother was terminally ill with tuberculosis before she had even met his father and so was slowly dying throughout Howard's entire life. When he learned that his mother had entered a coma from which she was not expected to wake he, for reasons that are not clear, walked out to his car and shot himself in the head. His suicide and the circumstances surrounding it have led to varied speculation about his mental health; from an Oedipus complex, to clinical depression, to no mental disorders of any kind. Howard created Conan the Barbarian, in the pages of the Depression-era pulp magazine Weird Tales, a character whose pop-culture imprint has been compared to such icons as Tarzan, Count Dracula, Sherlock Holmes, and James Bond. With Conan and his other heroes, Howard created the genre now known as Sword and sorcery, spawning a wide swath of imitators and giving him an influence in the fantasy field rivaled only by J. R. R. Tolkien and Tolkien's similarly inspired creation of High Fantasy. Howard remains a highly read author, with his be 100 pp. Englisch.
