Kyjonožci
Kyjonožci (Gigantostraca, syn. Eurypterida) je vymřelá třída podkmene klepítkatců. Zahrnuje mimo jiné i největší známé členovce, jací kdy na Zemi žili. Někteří mořští kyjonožci dosahovaly délky přes 2 metry, jinak ale spousta příslušníků této skupiny byla menší než 20 cm. Nejznámějším rodem je Eurypterus, který zahrnuje více než 200 známých druhů.

Northern Marianas IslandsThe Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands (CNMI) is a commonwealth in political union with the United States of America at a strategic location in the West Pacific Ocean. It consists of 14 islands about three-quarters of the way from Hawaii to the Philippines, at . It has a population (2005 est) of 80,362.
Geography and Climate
Together with Guam to the south, a United States territory, the Northern Mariana Islands make up the island arc of the Mariana Islands.
The southern islands are limestone with level terraces and fringing coral reefs; the northern islands are volcanic, with active volcanoes on Anatahan, Pagan and Agrihan. The volcano on Agrihan is the highest elevation in the islands at 965 meters. About one-fifth of the land is arable, another tenth is permanent pasture. The primary natural resource is fish, which causes conflict with the protection of endangered species. Past development has created landfills that must be cleaned up and has caused contamination of groundwater on Saipan, which may contribute to disease.
The islands have over 350 kilometers of highways, three airports with paved runways (one some 3,000 meters (9,840 feet) long, two around 2,000 (6560 feet) meters), three airports with unpaved runways (one about 3,000 meters long, two under 1,000 (3280 feet) meters), and one heliport.
Anatahan Volcano is a small volcanic island located 120 km (80 miles) north of Saipan Island and 320 km (200 miles) north of Guam. The island is about 9 km (5.6 miles) long and 3 km (2 miles) wide. Anatahan began erupting suddenly from its east crater at about 5:00 p.m. on May 10, 2003.
2003 Since then it has continued to alternate between eruptive and calm periods. On April 6, 2005, approximately 50,000 cubic meters of ash and rock were ejected, causing a large, black cloud to drift southward over Saipan and Tinian. Recent eruptions have caused some commercial flights to re-route.
The islands have a tropical marine climate moderated by seasonal northeast trade winds. There is little seasonal temperature variation; the dry season runs from December to June, the rainy season from July to October can include typhoons.
History
The first European in these waters was Ferdinand Magellan in 1521, who landed on nearby Guam and claimed the islands for Spain. Angry at larcenous natives, he first dubbed the islands "Las Islas de los Ladrones", (The Islands of the Thieves), but in 1668 their name was changed to Las Marianas after Mariana of Austria, widow of Spain's Philip IV. Nearly all of the islands' native population died out during Spanish rule, but new settlers from modern-day Micronesia repopulated them to some extent. Sold to Germany in 1899, the Japanese took over in 1914 and turned the island into a military garrison. On June 15, 1944, during World War II, U.S. Marines landed on the islands and eventually won the bitterly fought three-week Battle of Saipan.
After Japan's defeat, the islands were administered by the United States as part of the United Nations Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands; thus, defense and foreign affairs are the responsibility of the U.S. The people of the Northern Mariana Islands decided in the 1970s not to seek independence, but instead to forge closer links with the U.S. Negotiations for territorial status began in 1972. A covenant to establish a commonwealth in political union with the U.S. was approved in 1975. A new government and constitution went into effect in 1978.
On September 23, 2004 Congressman Richard Pombo of California introduced H.R. 5135 - the Northern Mariana Islands Delegate Act. The bill, had it become law, would have allowed CNMI to elect a non-voting delegate to the United States House of Representatives starting with the 2006 election. The bill died at the end of the 108th Congress. But, on February 18, 2005, the Delegate Act was reintroduced by Pombo with a new number, H.R. 873. [http://www.resrep.gov.mp/press%20releases/873%20drop.htm] The Northern Mariana Islands have also come into the news recently due to their connection to the scandals involving Jack Abramoff and House Majority Leader Tom Delay.

Economy
See main article Economy of the Northern Mariana Islands
Economy of the Northern Mariana Islands
The economy of the Northern Marina Islands depends primarily on tourism, especially, from Japan, and the rapidly growing garment manufacturing sector. The Commonwealth also benefits from substantial subsidies and development assistance from the federal government of the United States.
The Northern Marina Islands had successfully exploited its position of being in a free trade area with the United States, while at the same time not being subject to the same labor laws as it. This means that the minimum wage in the Commonwealth is lower than in the US, and some other worker protections are weaker leading to lower production costs. In addition, a different immigration régime meant that a large number of Chinese migrant workers were employed in the Islands' garment trade.
However, the lifting of World Trade Organisation restrictions on Chinese imports to the United States has put the Commonwealth-based trade under severe pressure, leading to a number of factory closures.
Agricultural production, primarily of cattle, coconuts, breadfruit, tomatoes and melons exists, but is of relatively minor economic import.
Islands, Island Groups and Municipalities
The islands total some 477 square kilometers. An overview is presented next, with the individual islands from North to South:
Administratively, the CNMI is divided into four municipalities:
Islands 1 through 11 are collective known as the Northern Islands, together forming the Northern Islands Municipality.
Islands 12 through 15 are collectively known as the Southern Islands, with the municipalities Saipan, Tinian, and Rota (uninhabited Aguijan is part of Tinian municipality).
Because of volcanic threat, the northern islands have been largely evacuated, with just six people remaining on Alamagan island (Census of 2000), and with the Mayor of the Northern Islands Municipality residing in "exile" on Saipan.
Saipan, Tinian, and Rota have the only ports and harbors, and are the only permanently populated islands.

Cosmologische constante
De kosmologische constante is een correctiefactor, die aanvankelijk door Albert Einstein aan de algemene relativiteitstheorie werd toegevoegd, maar later verworpen. Tegenwoordig is deze kosmologische constante in diverse heelalmodellen echter weer zeer actueel.
Toen Einstein de algemene relativiteitstheorie opstelde, stelde hij vast dat het resulterende systeem geen statische oplossing had. Zet een aantal massa's bij elkaar, en ze zullen onherroepelijk elkaar aan gaan trekke

Darevskia praticola
De weidehagedis (Darevskia praticola) is een klimmende hagedis uit de familie echte hagedissen (Lacertidae).
Naamgeving
Deze soort werd tot een aantal jaar geleden tot het geslacht Lacerta gerekend, maar uit onder andere DNA-analyse blijkt dat een aparte geslachtsnaam op de plaats is. Sommige soorten van Darevskia zijn parthogenetisch

Lacerta trilineata
De reuzensmaragdhagedis (Lacerta trilineata) is grote hagedis uit de familie echte hagedissen (Lacertidae).
Algemeen
Deze hagedis wordt gemiddeld maar enkele centimeters groter dan de bekendere smaragdhagedis (L. viridis), dus de naam is wat overdreven. De soorten zijn zelfs moeilijk van elkaar te onderscheiden, hoewel het verspreidingsgebied iets anders ligt; de Balkanlanden, Read More... |

Lijkschouwing
Autopsie (Grieks: "met eigen ogen zien" ) is het onderzoeken van een lichaam nadat de persoon is overleden om de doodsoorzaak na te gaan. Ook wel sectie of obductie genoemd.
Met lijkschouwing wordt vaak een veel minder ingrijpend onderzoek bedoeld waarbij in principe alleen door een arts wordt vastgesteld dat de dood is ingetreden, met eventuele hypothesen over de oorzaak daarvan,
