This not only confirmed the theory that some dinosaurs had feathers, but also added further detail about their appearance, such as colour and the arrangement of feathers.
Scientists say the animals have eyes that are like telescopes, and skin that is colorful and reminiscent of psychedelic drugs.
The findings also shed new light on the evolution of flight in birds.

The new arrangement has different partners and competitors, so the new citizen will need to bring different skills or the ability to learn quickly in order to fill the previous citizen's shoes.
The population had not changed dramatically, however, and was still largely made up of the same type of people as before.
Over time, as the new immigrant population grows to take on the new environment, it will start to behave more like the existing population.
After thousands or even millions of years, the two populations eventually become so different that they can no longer be regarded as the same species.
We call this process new speciation, which means the formation of new species. Speciation is an irreversible process and is considered to be an important part of evolution.
The cassava plant produces a poisonous carbohydrate called cyanogenic glucoside which when eaten in large quantities can be lethal.
The plant makes food from sunlight using photosynthesis and also gives off oxygen.

The American and French forces had liberated the south of France within two weeks.
Culture is the collective behavior and beliefs of a community.
The word civilization is derived from the Latin word civilis meaning citizen. The word civilization is also related to the Latin word civitas meaning city, and civitas meaning state.

Many cultures have disappeared without leaving much of a historical record, and were never regarded as civilizations.
During the Civil War, all thirty-three of the current states had provisional governments; under the Articles of Confederation, the states were co-equal.

The most common film format in the world is 35 mm, a size which was important in the history of photography.
These lenses are still made today, but the main point of distinction is that the resolution is downsampled from a digital camera's native resolution.
The actual 35 mm format, with a 3:2 aspect ratio and 24 by 36 mm negative, has a lot going for it.
Its fractional form (12 1/2 to become a whole number) is called a mixed number: 3 1/2.
Most lenses (for example, a standard APS-C lens) have roughly the same focal length or coverage.
Many of the laws that were overturned were vaguely worded and easily exploited both for building power and for corruption while maintaining the appearance of lawfulness.
The position of the focal point for a lens determines the separation of the rays emerging from the lens as a single image or as three images right way up, upside down, and at an angle (see figure).
In European history, the Crusades were a series of wars and expeditions aimed at liberating the Holy Land.
For centuries Christianity has taken different forms in different European countries, even though languages and traditions may have differed.

Ancient China had a unique way of showing the passage of time that was different from any other culture. Time was divided into different periods of Chinese history or dynasties with distinctive characteristics.
During the interregnum between dynasties, the various provinces were in no way united, the longest period of which was the Three Kingdoms, lasting for 60 years between the Han and Jin Dynasties.
A number of bloody battles were fought in order to gain control over the crossings at this time.
The Three Kingdoms is one of the bloodiest periods of Chinese history, with tens of millions of people dying in a war of succession in the imperial palace in Sian.
Social and political effects are numerous, such as the switch from feudalism to nationalism, the rise of nationalism over patriotism, and the belief that the country is of the people, not the rulers.

They are required to pay taxes to the U.S. government for the privilege of doing business in the country, mostly to make up for the subsidies they receive from the government of the Philippines through the Waterfront Landings Tax Exemption.
Undoubtedly, the huge profits gained from the long-term exploitation of the Filipino people will be counted as one of the major factors that contributed to the economic prosperity of the United States.
In order to understand thermodynamics, we need to understand the topics that led to its invention.
The period is often referred to as the High Middle Ages, or the 11th, 12th, and 13th centuries (AD 1000–1300).
The Middle Ages were followed by the Renaissance, and were in turn followed by the Late Middle Ages, which generally include the 14th and 15th centuries.
Technology is the collection of techniques, skills, methods, and processes used in the production of goods or services, or in the accomplishment of objectives, such as scientific investigation.
Most of the technological progress has taken place in two parallel tracks. One is the technological development along the path of civilization or politics, and the other is the "side-effects" of technology on the natural society.
For example, we might say that cars contribute to traffic congestion (1).
Nevertheless, road networks around the world would not be economically viable if only a few cars were on the road. For this reason, new production methods have been developed to reduce the cost of owning a car.
In addition, the high number of cyclists has led to an increase in road accidents, which has given rise to new techniques for repairing damaged tyres.
Gentlemen of the Inquisition were largely responsible for the cultural phenomenon, having been inspired by various writers such as Goethe, Fichte, and Schlegel.
In Roman mythology, the gods and goddesses were personifications of natural phenomena, and as time passed, these deities gave rise to customs and traditions associated with the natural phenomena they represented, and these customs and traditions were eventually codified into law.
Constantinople was seen as the capital of the Byzantine empire, just as Paris was seen as the capital of the French empire.
The Gothic phase of ecclesiastical architecture began in the 400s and lasted until the 1100s.
Its condition had deteriorated in the 1920s due to immigrant gangs returning from the First World War, who looted valuable items such as carpets and chandeliers that were then sold on the black market.
Then, of course, there was the change of the city's name from Constantinople to Istanbul.
Gothic architecture reached its greatest popularity in the 10th to 11th centuries and in the 14th century.
In the beginning, haute couture was highly influenced by the French culture in the west.
However, the slower communication networks meant that styles from the West were always about 25 to 30 years behind.
As the Middle Ages came to an end, the Europeans developed their own style of clothing. One of the most significant changes during this time was when the Crusaders started using buttons to fasten their armour.
Sustainable agriculture is the practice of farming in a way that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
Agriculture is the rearing of plants and animals for food and other uses. It involves the cultivation of plants and the rearing of animals for food and other uses.
Traditionally, most farmers have worked as agricultural labourers to make a living and still do in many developing countries.
A culture comprises the beliefs and behaviors of a group of people who are similar in their ways of thinking and feel a sense of unity: such a culture encourages its members to nurture their individuality.
Culture can vary greatly from one group to another due to age, race, class, region, and/or gender of the members.
A culture's distinctive ways of making sense of the world can include science, philosophy, religion, politics, gender roles, physical activity, art, music, and so on.
Artists often express their membership in a culture through distinctive stylistic choices, such as fashion, jewelry, and accessories.
One common method used to demonstrate the importance of social networking is the story of some unfortunate children who were kidnapped, tortured, mutilated, and killed by adults during their upbringing.
These children are often referred to as "troubled" or "at-risk" youth. Some of these "troubled" youth are abused, either physically or emotionally, by their own parents.
Children in the bush may have had a traumatic experience in their youth or suffered a mental breakdown before being abducted or killed.
Others were said to have been eaten by sharks, while some were even accused of living in the jungle on their own.
When fully tamed, animals that are not domesticated will display behaviors (within certain physical limits) that are similar to those displayed by domesticated animals, such as fear or disinterest in humans.
Although project-based learning can help make learning more engaging and motivating, scaffolded instruction does so much more.
Scuffolding is not a teaching method; it is a tool to help people learn new things, such as using a new computer program or starting a new project.
Scuffolds can be either realistic and lifelike, such as a teacher standing in front of a classroom of students, or humorous, such as a tiny man standing on a needle in a microscope.
Virtual Scaffolds reside within the software itself and are designed to prompt, encourage, and explain steps that students might otherwise struggle to figure out on their own.
Children are often separated from their families for many different reasons such as arrest, abuse, or deportation.
No child should be raised in an environment that is not nurturing, loving, and filled with knowledge, but they are raised in those environments.
We know that family networks are an important safeguard for these children.
Our family systems should prepare children for a safe home, loving caregivers, predictable learning environments, and trustworthy health care.
A packing checklist should include all essential items that are left behind when a child moves out on their own for the first time.
The Internet comprises both the public Internet and the private Internet.

Germany was both the ally of the Soviet Union and the United States in World War II, which led to mutual distrust between the two countries after the war ended. Differences over systems, procedures, and ideology have also caused tensions between the two countries.
After the war was over two years later, the old parties splintered, and then the Cold War started.
It will stay there for another 40 years and will be defended in earnest by regulars from Africa, the Middle East, Cuba, and elsewhere.
On September 17, 1939, the Polish defenses were broken, and the only hope was to hold out and set up a new army in Romania.
These plans, however, are now outdated, as more than 800,000 Red Army soldiers had come from the Soviet Union to help liberate Belgium and the Netherlands after the Allies had broken through the Westwall and invaded Poland, violating the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, the Anti-Combination Pact between Soviet Union and Poland, and the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Romania, or the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and other countries, whether it was the Declaration of Non-Aggression between Soviet Union and Finland, or the Dec
Shipping is by far the most efficient way to move both people and goods around the world.
Traditionally, the Navy's role has been to ensure that the country can move people and goods around the world, as well as protecting the country's trade routes.
One of the most recent examples is the Second World War, in which the United States sought to help liberate occupied Europe and the Atlantic Ocean shipping lanes.
Meanwhile, the German Navy, which is mainly powered by submarines, is also trying to put an end to this traffic.

In general, there may be two possible reactions when a manager brings in a friend as a colleague, one positive, the other negative: the attempt to be "one of the boys" (or girls).
These managers have a hard time making unpopular decisions, pursuing a vision, assessing the results of their actions, rewarding people appropriately, and holding people accountable.
Individuals change into unaccountable people who feel they have to please the team and everyone around them.
The manager has to take the credit for the success and the failures of the team.
These dynamics can create a lot of tension and distrust between leaders and the rest of the team.
A standard team has the same basic rules as a regular team, but with significant differences.
Team members often serve as the primary point of contact for groups of similar body types.
They are often made up of volunteers rather than paid staff, as they are often found in areas where regular staff are unlikely to go.
Having a "dream team" (Larson and Lafayette, 1989, p. 109) is also a characteristic of successful teams.
The "dream team" is the management team of which every member is a hall-of-famer. The "dream team" sets the standard for every player.
Why would a company want to go through the formal process of setting up a learning organization, which takes a long time, when the goal of the learning organization is to re-invent the way the company thinks about learning?
When energy is used where it is not needed, inefficiencies, wasted resources, and pollution can occur.
For that reason, the company's partnering approach can lead to a new framework that creates a political party to address the needs of the people.
Before the organization can have a culture of innovation, the leader must create a culture of learning within the organization.
Angel (2006) described the Continuum approach as a way for organisations to become high-performing.

Although AI systems can achieve superhuman performance on specialized scientific tasks, AI is an important field of computer science that is gaining increasing importance in our daily lives, affecting how we work, learn, and interact with computers.
The study of AI involves teaching computers to perform tasks that would normally require human intelligence.
Aspects such as control, planning and time management, answering questions and giving presentations, taking notes, listening and reading are all covered.
These things have become specialized fields of study that focus on methods for solving real-world problems.
Nowadays, AI is often used in economic, medical, and military applications, as well as in the creation of apps for smartphones and video games.
Field trips are an important part of many classes, often taking students out of the classroom and into the "real world," where traveling by bus may not be possible.
Technology is bringing real-world learning into the classroom, allowing students to examine specimens in a museum, dive beneath the surface of a coral reef or collaborate with people on the other side of the world via the internet.
A virtual exchange is a great way to extend a study abroad experience and help prepare students for their future careers.
For example, students from Bennett High School in North Carolina designed a website for their annual travel to the nation's capital, but the old version of the site is still online for use as a scrapbook.
Blocks can also help students improve their writing, though they often start their blogging experience with a sense of freedom and informality that is not always appropriate, but in general, readers are usually able to correct for any shortcomings.
Because students are usually the most important audience, bloggers often take care to craft their writing to avoid criticism.
Blogging also "encourages students to see themselves as global citizens," according to Toto (2004).
Blogging is a tool that supports collaboration and extends learning outside of regular class time.
Proper use of blogs can "increase students' familiarity with research and analysis, help students claim their own positions in the conversation of others, and summarize and synthesize their views on a given topic (Owens, 2002).
