They are usually credited as the Kessler Twins (Die Kessler-Zwillinge in Germany and Le Gemelle Kessler in Italy), and remain popular today.
In the US, they were not as popular but appeared in the 1963 movie Sodom and Gomorrah as dancers and appeared on the cover of Life Magazine in that year. They made their American television debut on 12 February 1963 on the Red Skelton Hour, acting in his comedy sketch and dancing and singing a duet. They also performed on The Ed Sullivan Show.
Their parents, Paul and Elsa, sent them to ballet classes at the age of six, and they joined the Leipzig Opera's child ballet program at age 11. When they were 18, their parents used a visitor's visa to escape from East Germany to West Germany, where they performed at the Palladium in Düsseldorf. They performed at Le Lido in Paris between 1955 and 1960, and represented West Germany in the 1959 Eurovision Song Contest, finishing in 8th place with Heute Abend wollen wir tanzen geh'n (Tonight we want to go dancing).
They moved to Italy in 1960 and gradually moved to more serious roles. At the age of 40, they agreed to pose on the cover of the Italian edition of Playboy. That issue became the fastest-selling Italian Playboy up until that point.
They moved back to Germany in 1986 and currently live in the Munich suburb of Grünwald. They have received two awards from both the German and Italian governments for promoting German-Italian cooperation through their work in show business.

861294 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jamake%20Highwater | Jamake Highwater | Jackie Marks, Jack Marks, or J. Marks (February 14, 1931 – June 1, 2001), also called Jamake Highwater, was an American writer, news writer and television show host. He was white but he pretended to be Native American. For many years, whites and Native Americans thought he was an expert on Native American culture. He wrote books about Native American culture. He helped make television series that were about Native Americans or had Native Americans in them.
Early life and parents
Marks was born on February 14, 1931. Alexander Hill Marks and Marcia Marks were his parents. Alexander Hill Marks had been born in New York City and Marcia Marks in Russia. Both had ancestors from Eastern Europe. Alexander Hill Marks was Jewish.
Early career
Marks worked for the San Francisco Contemporary Dancers from 1954 to 1967. He was a director and dance arranger. He got in trouble for giving students "American college degrees" even though his school was not accredited, meaning that no accrediting agency had said it was a good enough school to give degrees.
Claims
Marks did not pretend to be a Native American all at once. He started slowly.
In 1969, he said his mother was Cherokee. In 1970, Columbia Records wrote that Marks' mother was Cherokee and called "Marcia Highwater." In Marks' book, Mick Jagger, the author page says that "J Marks" was only a pen name and the author's real name was "Jamake Mamake Highwater."
In 1974, Marks wrote in a legal document that Marcia and Alexander Marks were his adoptive parents, and Marks' birth parents had been a half-Blackfoot woman and Cherokee man. Marks later said his father had also been John Wayne's stunt double.
Response
In the 1980s, Native American activist Hank Adams found out that Marks was not really Native American and printed what he knew in newspapers. For a while, he thought Marks was really Gregory J. Markopoulos, a moviemaker. Markopoulos spoke to Adams and showed he wasn't Marks. In 1986, Adams sued Marks. Adams said in the lawsuit that Marks had lied about being Native American so the federal government would give him money for his work. The court dismissed the charges. However, Marks stopped asking for government money for projects about being Native American at about this time.
President of the National Council of American Indians Joe DeLaCruz removed Marks from the NCAI in 1984. He said this:
This person is not an Indian, has no personal or professional experience or academic expertise regarding Indians, has falsely held himself forth as an Indian and an Indian expert, has claimed academic credentials he does not possess and has published under his own name extremely derivative materials from the works of others. Importantly, this person has invented and repeated stereotypic and biased information about Indians.
However, not everyone believed that Marks wasn't really a Native American. Some people believed but did not care. Marks worked as a Native American Advisor on a television show in the 1990s. When Marks died in 2001, the LA Times, Washington Post, and New York Times all printed articles about his life and death that said he was Native American.
Death
Marks died in 2001 of a heart attack. He had been diagnosed with AIDS ten years before. His body was burned to ashes and the ashes were put in the Pacific Ocean.
Work
Marks wrote nonfiction, for example The Primal Mind: Vision and Reality in Indian America. PBS made this book into a television show, The Primal Mind, in 1984. Marks was the host of the show. The National Educational Film Festival said this was their program of the year. The National Cable Television Association gave it an ACE Award.
Marks wrote fiction, for example Anpao: An American Indian Odyssey and The Sun, He Dies: A Novel About the End of the Aztec World. He also wrote poetry and travel books. In 1978, Anpao won the Newberry Honor Award. It also won many awards from the American Library Association and School Library Journal.
In the 1990s, Marks was the Native American advisor on Star Trek: Voyager, which had a Native American character called Chakotay.

861317 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/DNA%20methyltransferase | DNA methyltransferase | DNA methyltransferase (DNA MTase, DNMT) is a family of enzymes, They catalyze the transfer of a methyl group to DNA.
DNA methylation has many biological functions.
Mammals
Three active DNA methyltransferases have been identified in mammals. They are named DNMT1, DNMT3a, and DNMT3b. Recently, a fourth enzyme DNMT3c has been discovered specifically expressed in the male germline in the mouse.
What these enzymes do is make DNA methylation work. DNA methylation is a biological process by which methyl groups are added to the DNA molecule. Methylation can change the activity of a DNA segment without changing the sequence. When positioned in a gene promoter, DNA methylation acts to stop gene transcription.

861340 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGBT%20conservatism | LGBT conservatism | LGBT conservatism refers to a socio-political movement which embraces and promotes the ideology of conservatism within an LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender) context. Gay conservatives may also refer to lesbian or gay persons with socially and/or economically conservative political views. The number of openly LGBT advocates for conservative policies has only become increasingly apparent since the advent of the modern LGBT civil rights movement in the 1970s while many more LGBT conservatives remain closeted in countries where other socially conservative politicians have led the most organized opposition to LGBT rights efforts as well as the backlash from liberal and left-leaning LGBT social activists.
In 1975, the Conservative Group for Homosexual Equality (CGHE) was founded in the United Kingdom by Peter Walter Campbell. It was the first LGBT conservative organization ever.
There are those who are LGBT people who believe in economical (or other form of) conservativism and there are LGBT people who believe in Social Conservatism and they don't accept LGBT rights (like same sex marriage, civil unions, adoption).

The adult male frog is 1.0 to 1.3 cm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog is .9 to 1.2 cm long. The skin on the male frog's back is brown and the skin on the female frog's back is orange-brown. Both male and female frogs have dark bars on their bodies. Both male and female frogs have bellies that are almost white.
This frog hides during the day and looks for food at night. It lays eggs during the time of year when there is less rain. The male digs a hole that fills with water. This hole is called a nest basin. The male frogs usually build nest basins near streams so the water will get in. Male frogs fight each other for the best places to dig.

They are made with orange-flavored jam, and chocolate. McVitie and Price introduced them in the United Kingdom in 1927. Even though they look like biscuits, a court ruled that they are actually cakes. The court case was because biscuits are taxed differently than cakes.
McVitie's did not register the name "Jaffa Cakes" as a trademark. For this reason, other biscuit manufacturers and supermarkets have made similar products under the same name. The product's classification as a cake or biscuit was part of a VAT tribunal in 1991, with the court finding in McVitie's favour that the Jaffa cake should be considered a cake for tax purposes. In 2012 they were ranked the best selling cake or biscuit in the United Kingdom.
