896281 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlantic%20coastal%20plain | Atlantic coastal plain | The Atlantic Coastal Plain is a region of low elevation along the East Coast of the United States. It is 2,200 miles long, from Long Island, to the Georgia/Florida part of the Eastern Continental Divide. The plain is bordered on the west by the Piedmont plateau, which is a flat area bordered by the main Appalachian mountains, and where the plateau and the plain meet is called the Atlantic Seaboard Fall Line. It is bordered to the east by the Atlantic Ocean, and to the south by the Floridian province. The Outer Lands archipelagic region forms the insular northeastern extension of the Atlantic coastal plain.
The plain is not very high, averaging around 900 or less feet from sea level. It extends about 50 to 100 kilometers inland. The coastal plain is very wet, with many rivers, marshes, and swampland. It is composed mainly of sedimentary rock and sediment, and the land is primarily used for agriculture. The coastal plain also includes the Carolina Sandhills as well. Sometimes, on maps, the coastal plain is split into two northern and southern regions. Sea levels rising is also an issue, as ocean water (Or salty water) starts to kill plants that can't use saltwater in photosynthesis. Groundwater supplies are also vulnerable along the East Coast. With industrial and urban development (like houses, factories, and roads), many inland salt (with saltwater) marshes are disappearing.
Life in the Atlantic Plain
Plant Life
Vegetation is also experiencing issues with the rapid changes the plain is going through, too. Forests are common on this plain. In the north, there are hardwood forests that include white, black, red, chestnut and scarlet oaks. The forests in a wider area include hickory, long-leaf pines, sweet gum, magnolia and bay leaf trees.
Animal Life
Many animals also inhabit the region, like toads, salamanders and frogs. Gray foxes inhabit the whole region, while the Lower Keys marsh rabbit and manatees live in mainly the Florida Keys. Fish, including the threatened Alabama sturgeon, inhabit the area too. Waterfowl, wading birds and a variety of shorebirds make their home in the region.

896316 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diaphoretickes | Diaphoretickes | Diaphoretickes is a large group of living things. It's part of the way scientists put living things in groups. It is a supergroup, meaning it has many, many living things in it. There are over 400,000 species in Diaphoretickes.
All the living things in Diaphoretickes have complicated cells with organelle. Most plants that make energy out of light are in Diaphoretickes. Only Euglenozoa and blue-green algae are not.
This megagroup includes:
Archaeplastida (red algae, glaucophytes, green algae and plants)
Cryptista
Haptista
SAR supergroup (stramenopiles, alveolates, and Rhizaria)
Telonemia
In 2012, this megagroup was said to be:
"The most inclusive clade containing Bigelowiella natans Moestrup & Sengco 2001 (Rhizaria), Tetrahymena thermophila Nanney & McCoy 1976 (Alveolata), Thalassiosira pseudonana Cleve 1873 (Stramenopiles), and Arabidopsis thaliana (Linnaeus) Heynhold, 1842 (Archaeplastida), but not Homo sapiens Linnaeus 1758 (Opisthokonta), Dictyostelium discoideum Raper 1935 (Amoebozoa) or Euglena gracilis Klebs 1883 (Excavata). This is a branch-based definition in which all of the specifiers are extant."
History
Burki led a team of scientists that named Diaphoretickes. They called it the "plants+HC+SAR megagroup" because it has plants (Archaeplastida), haptophytes, cryptomonads, and stramenopiles, alveolates, and rhizarians. That makes the acronyms HC and SAR.
Other scientists call Diaphoretickes the "SAR/HA Supergroup" or "Corticata with Rhizaria." The name "Corticata" comes from Cavalier-Smith's scientific idea that the cortical alveoli of glaucophytes and alveolates both came from the same ancestors.
Long ago, Diaphoretickes had all of Archaeplastida, Rhizaria, and chromalveolates in it. Scientists changed this because they found that not all the living things in chromalveolata are in the same phylum group.

896324 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pompeo%20D%27Ambrosio | Pompeo D'Ambrosio | Pompeo D'Ambrosio was born in San Marco Evangelista (near Napoli) in January first 1917 and died in Caracas in April 15, 1998. He was a pilot of the Italian air Force, a lieutenant of the Italian Army during WW2, a vice president of a bank in Venezuela and a manager-owner of a soccer team in Venezuela (the "Deportivo Italia");
Life
He moved to Venezuela with his family (he had a son and a daighter) in the early 1950s.
He was well known in the Italian community in Caracas and was very active - with his financial activity at one of Venezuela's leading banks ("Banco Latino") - in promoting the many successes of Italian entrepreneurs in Venezuela.
He was even a financial manager for "Deportivo Italia", the Italian community football club in Venezuela, during the "golden" years (in the sixties and seventies). Those years, when he ruled the team with his brother Mino, are remembered as the D'Ambrosio Era. The Deportivo Italia was awarded as the best football team of Venezuela in the XX century, by the FIFA's "International Federation of Football History and Statistics".
Influence on the Italian community in Venezuela
In 1951 Pompeo D'Ambrosio moved to Venezuela, where he began working as director of the "French and Italian Bank" (later called "Banco Latino"), funding the Italian community of Caracas, Maracaibo and Puerto La Cross.
Many Italian-Venezuelan companies, such as "Vinccler" and "Constructora Delpre" (who made the skyscrapers of the "Complexo Parque Central", actually the tallest in South America), received experienced advice and financial help to grow to the highest levels in the Venezuelan economy.
The historian Santander Laya-Garrido cites him, in his book "Los Italianos forjadores de la nacionalidad y del desarrollo económico en Venezuela" (The Italians creators of the nationality and the economic development of Venezuela), as an example of honesty and dedication to the community.

896372 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Child%20sex%20tourism | Child sex tourism | Child sex tourism is travelling to another country or area, to be able to profit from children who prostitute themselves. Like child prostitution, child sex tourism is bad for the health of the children. It has mental and physical consequences, which include sexually transmitted infections, (unwanted) teenage pregnancies, and addiction to drugs. Child sex tourism is part of the multibillion-dollar global sex tourism industry. It is a form of child prostitution within the wider issue of commercial sexual exploitation of children. Child sex tourism victimizes approximately 2 million children around the world. The children who perform as prostitutes in the child sex tourism trade have often been lured or abducted into sexual slavery.
People who practice child sex tourism can be split in two broad groups:
People who prefer children; they want to build a relationship with a child, or they think that the risk of getting a sexually transmitted infection is less.
People who do not prefer children, but who will also not refuse to have sex with a child, if they get a chance. Very often, they either forget to check the age of a prostitute, or they do not care enough. These are called situational users or situational offenders.
People who want to engage in child sex tourism often plan their journey using the internet. They look for places, where the most vulnerable children can be found; they often also share this information with other like-minded people. As is the case with other forms of prostitution, child prostitution is linked to poverty: the most vulnerable children are likely in regions where there are many poor people, or where there's a high population growth.
As this is a global problem, some countries have adapted their laws, so that they can prosecute certain crimes, even if they are committed outside the country.

896382 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauthausen%20concentration%20camp | Mauthausen concentration camp | Mauthausen was a Nazi concentration camp in Upper Austria during World War II. It opened on 8 August 1938, and was taken over by the Allies on 5 May 1942. It is located on a hill above the market town of Mauthausen (roughly east of Linz). Mauthausen started as a single camp. However, it gradually grew into a system of many camps, which were all connected to each other. These subcamps were located throughout Austria and southern Germany. In total, about 190,000 people were imprisoned in the Mauthausen camp complex. Of these, at least 90,000 died.
Mauthausen was mostly used for extermination through labour of artists and intellectuals, like scientists and professors. These were educated people and had been members of the higher social classes in countries taken over by the Nazis during World War II. Other groups were imprisoned at Mauthausen too. These included political prisoners like socialists, communists, anarchists, and Spanish Republicans. Homosexuals and alcoholics, who the Nazis called “asocial,” were also imprisoned at Mauthausen. Other groups included Romani people, Slovenes, Hungarian and Dutch Jews, and Soviet prisoners of war. The Nazis wanted to “exterminate” all of these groups of people by working them to death.
The Nazis also used Mauthausen as a punishment camp. They sent prisoners to Mauthausen from other camps in order to punish them for breaking rules or trying to escape.
Mauthausen was one of the first very large concentration camp complexes in Nazi Germany. It was the last to be liberated by the Allies.
Today, there is a museum at the Mauthausen main camp.
Subcamps
Three of the biggest subcamps in the Mauthausen complex were Gusen I, Gusen II, and Gusen III. Many of the prisoners in the Mauthausen complex lived in the Gusen camps. Sometimes, these camps held more prisoners than the main Mauthausen main camp did.
At first, prisoners from the Mauthausen and Gusen camps worked mostly in the local quarries. However, starting in 1942, they were also forced to produce things that the German military needed.
As Mauthausen produced more, it needed more workers. The Nazis brought more and more prisoners to Mauthausen to work as slave laborers. To make room for more slave workers, the Nazis built additional subcamps (). By the end of World War II, there were 101 camps (including 49 major subcamps) in the Mauthausen complex. In January 1945, these camps held roughly 85,000 inmates.
Forced labor
At the Mauthausen complex, there were quarries, weapons factories, mines, and plants that assembled Me 262 fighter aircraft. The prisoners at Mauthausen and its subcamps were forced to work as slaves in these places. In fact, the Nazis decided to build a camp complex in Mauthausen because the town was close to some granite quarries. By 1942, over 3,300 prisoners were working in the quarries at Gusen and the main Mauthausen camp.
The Stairs of Death
One quarry was at the bottom of a long set of 186 stone steps. Guards forced male prisoners to carry blocks of granite up the stairs, all day and in all kinds of weather. This was a very difficult and exhausting job. The blocks of stone sometimes weighed as much as 50 kilograms (110 pounds). These slave laborers were already starving and malnourished because the Nazis gave them so little food in the camps. Then they were forced to work all day in the quarries without food or water. Often, guards beat the prisoners or forced them to race while they carried stones up the steps. When one person slipped, died, or collapsed from exhaustion, he would fall onto the people behind him, who would then fall too. Prisoners would continue to fall like dominoes, one after the other, all the way down the steps. Doing this work killed so many people that inmates at Mauthausen named the steps the "Stairs of Death."
Even if a prisoner survived a day's work, they might still be killed. Often, the Nazis would make everybody who survived the Stairs of Death line up at the edge of a cliff known as "The Parachutists Wall" (German: Fallschirmspringerwand). At gunpoint, each prisoner would have the option of being shot or pushing the prisoner in front of him off the cliff.

Prisoners at Mauthausen had to live and work in terrible conditions, which killed many people. This was not accidental. The Nazis made camp conditions terrible on purpose. This was part of their plan to kill everyone who came to the camps. They gave the prisoners so little food that thousands starved. From 1940 to 1942, an average inmate weighed just 40 kilograms (88 pounds). Prisoners were not given adequate clothing or shelter, and many froze to death in the winter. There was no access to water or to basic sanitation. Hygiene was impossible. Contagious diseases spread quickly and killed many people.
The Nazis also murdered many prisoners. They killed people who were sick or could not work any longer. They also used murder as a punishment. For example, if one person tried to escape, camp guards would kill them along with a group of innocent people.
Common methods of extermination included hangings, mass shootings, beating prisoners to death, and starving them to death in bunkers. Sometimes, guards would kill a prisoner by throwing them on the 380-volt electric barbed wire fence. At other times, they would force a prisoner outside the boundaries of the camp, accuse the prisoner of trying to escape, and shoot them. The Nazis also used icy showers to kill people. Around 3,000 inmates died of hypothermia after guards forced them to take icy cold showers, then left them outside in cold weather. A large number of inmates were drowned in barrels of water at Gusen II. Starting in 1942, the Nazis also used gas chambers to kill at least 3,500 prisoners, starting with Soviet prisoners of war.
The two largest camps in the Mauthasen complex (Gusen I and the main Mauthausen camp) had the worst conditions. Both were classed as "Grade III" (Stufe III) concentration camps. This meant they were supposed to be the toughest camps for the "incorrigible political enemies of the Reich". (Here, “incorrigible" means "impossible to correct.") Many people were deported to Mauthausen and Gusen just to be executed.
Mauthausen was still classified as Stufe III when World War II ended. People in the offices of the Reich Security Main Office (Reichssicherheitshauptamt; RSHA) called Mauthausen by the nickname Knochenmühle – the bone-grinder (literally bone-mill).

896482 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intent%20to%20Kill%20%28movie%29 | Intent to Kill (movie) | Intent to Kill is an American 1992 independent thriller, crime drama and action movie. It is about drug trafficking, police activity and prostitution. This movie was rated NC-17 (no one seventeen and under) by the United States' Motion Picture Association of America. The reason is extreme violence. This was the first movie rated so for graphic violence instead of sexual content (like most NC-17s are).
Plot
A police detective named Vickie Stewart is undercover. She and her partner Al are on drug operations. They are searching the Los Angeles metropolitan area. The drug operation, however, takes a turn into the negative and unthinkable. Gangsters fire their weapons against the police. Vehicles began blowing up into fire. Several thugs and police officials are killed during the chaos. One major drug trafficker, Salvador, gets away and evades (avoids arrest by) police. But he forgets almost $5 million of his drugs. Salvador is an official member for the Colombian Cowboys. They're a local drug trafficking street gang.
The next morning at the station of the Los Angeles Police Department, following Salvador getting away and several police losses, Captain Jackson removes Stewart from the drug case. Later, she and the other police captain question and deal with a Hispanic prostitute by the name of Maria. She tells Vickie and the captain several of her friends raped her. But the police captain doesn't believe Maria and objectifies her. He interferes with Maria's right for filing charges against the rapists. Maria and Vickie enter the latter's late 1980s Pontiac Grand Prix two-door coupe. Vickie uses her nightstick beats two of the rapists with that weapon. She then enters the house and meets the fifth suspect. He (the suspect) is using cocaine. The suspect requests Vickie to drop her weapon and remove her clothes. She, instead, pulls her gun and fires it. The bullet blasts the cocaine-holding glass container, which shatters. She then orders the suspect to grab the phone and dial 9-1-1 (the emergency number in North America).
Meanwhile (at exactly the same time) Salvador gets several orders from his crime boss. The latter (the boss) orders Salvador to get back the drugs within a week. Otherwise, he (Salvador) will be killed.
Over the next few days, several people are knocked off (or killed) across the city as Salvador and his confidants look for their drugs.
Vickie goes to the local park. But then, later she gets home and finds her partner in bed with a brunette woman he met at the local bar. Vickie gets angry, pulls Al's car from the garage of the residence and blows the vehicle up. She then drives away from there.
Vicki later teaches martial arts training as self-defense tactics.
Later, a police-gangster gun conflict takes place. Several police officials are killed. That includes Vickie's new boyfriend and police partner. That same evening, Salvador and his confidants infiltrate (or head inside) the premises where the crime boss and the boss' friends are waiting. Salvador and his friends then shoot the boss and them to death.
Following a standoff where Vickie gets held hostage, she and Salvador get into a chase with the latter's stolen police car. The chase ends after both police cars hit the trailer of a semi tractor trailer and then turn over. Vickie then shoots Salvador dead with a shotgun.

896640 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph%20Wirth | Joseph Wirth | Karl Joseph Wirth (1879-1956) was a German politician. He was a member of the Centre Party (Deutsche Zentrumspartei). From May 10,1921 to November 14, 1922 he was chancellor of the Weimar Republic. When he started his office as chancellor, he was the youngest chancellor in office. The party he was part of was Catholic, and he was seen as being part of the left wing of that party. Germany had lost the First World War. Wirth was criticized because he wanted to cooperate with the winners of the war. In 1922, he thought that the winners of the war in the West had made too few concessions. For that reason, Wirth talked to Soviet Russia, who had made an offer for a treaty. The result was the Treaty of Rapallo, of 1922. After the Second World War, Wirth worked towards German reunification. When the Ermächtigungsgesetz was passed, brining the Nazis to power in 1933, Wirth emigrated, first to Switzerland, then to the United States, and France. Wirth returned to Germany in 1949.
By profession, Wirth was an economist and mathematician.
Wirth wanted to serve as a volunteer in the First World War, but was not seen as fit to serve as a soldier. From 1914 to 1919 he worked with the Red Cross, at the Western Front.

896643 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colleyville%20synagogue%20hostage%20crisis | Colleyville synagogue hostage crisis | On January 15, 2022, a gunman, Malik Faisal Akram, entered a reform synagogue in Colleyville, Texas, United States. He took four people prisoner, creating a hostage situation that lasted 10 hours. It ended when the FBI hostage team went into the synagogue. The man with the gun was killed. The synagogue is called Congregation Beth Israel.
Attack
At 10:41 in the morning, a man with a gun went inside the building and took hostages. He was dressed like a homeless person that needed shelter. The Colleyville Police Department shared a tweet at 11:30am saying the SWAT team was working in the area. The Federal Bureau of Investigation and Texas Department of Public Safety arrived a short time later. People who live around the synagogue were evacuated, or told to leave, for their safety.
Some news agencies said the man was the brother of Aafia Siddiqui, who is from Pakistan, and he wanted her to be let out of prison. In 2010, Siddiqui was convicted of attempted murder of a United States Army captain while they were both in Afghanistan. Siddiqui has a brother. However, his lawyer says that the man in the synagogue was not him or anyone in their family. Later, law enforcement officials said the man had told the rabbi to make a phone call for him. In the phone call, the man said he wanted his "sister" Siddiqui let out of prison. It is possible the man did not really mean Siddiqui was his sister. Instead, he may have said "sister" as a figure of speech.
The man came into the building during the synagogue's Saturday Shabbat holy day services. The people in the synagogue had put up a video camera so they could livestream the ceremony on the Internet. This video of the synagogue's service was recording when the man took Rabbi Charlie Cytron-Walker and three other people hostage. His face did not show up in the video, but people on the Internet could hear his voice. The man who took the hostages said, "If anyone tries to enter this building, I'm telling you...everyone will die" and "I'm going to die. Don't cry about me..."
One of the hostages was released six hours later.
At about 9 p.m., the FBI went into the building. All of the hostages came out alive. The man who took them prisoner did not.
Perpetrator
The hostage taker was British citizen Malik Faisal Akram (1977-2022), who was from Blackburn, Lancashire, England.
Reaction
US
The White House said the President had been told what was happening. US House Representative Colin Allred who is from Texas said he was praying for the people of the synagogue.White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki said people on the National Security team were talking to federal law enforcement leaders about the attack. US Senator Ted Cruz also said that he had informed federal law enforcements, he also said he will be speaking to the Jewish community leaders throughout the evening and the situation.
World leaders
Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett said he was watching the standoff between law enforcement and the gunmen. The Prime Minister also said, “We pray for the safety of the hostages and rescuers,” on his official social media account. Yair Lapid, the Alternate Prime Minister of Israel, said the government of Israel was in contact with law enforcement. Lapid also said Israeli Consulate General Livia Link was leaving Houston, Texas to go to the synagogue.
Synagogue
Congregation Beth Israel was started in 1998. It became a full synagogue in 1999. It moved to the building it is in now in 2005.

896648 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Helmuth%20Hubener | Helmuth Hubener | Helmuth Hübener (January 8, 1925-October 27, 1942) was a German youth who was executed for his opposition to the Nazi Regime. Beheaded at age 17, he was the youngest person to be executed by the Nazis for resistance work.
Life
Helmuth was born on January 8, 1925, the youngest of three children. He belonged to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church).
Since early childhood, Hübener had been a member of the Boy Scouts, an organization strongly supported by the LDS Church, but in 1935 the Nazis banned scouting from Germany. He then joined the Hitler Youth, as required by the government, but quit after the Kristallnacht in 1938, when the Nazis, including the Hitler Youth, destroyed Jewish businesses and homes.
Resistance Work
After Hübener finished middle school in 1941, he began an apprenticeship in administration at the Hamburg Social Authority (Sozialbehörde). He met other apprentices there, one of whom, Gerhard Düwer, he would later recruit into his resistance movement. At a bathhouse, he met new friends, one of whom had a communist family background and, as a result, he began listening to enemy radio broadcasts. Listening to foreign media was at the time strictly forbidden in Nazi Germany, being considered a form of treason.
After finding out that his brother Gerhard had a shortwave radio, Helmuth began listening on his own. Using what he learned on the BBC channel, Helmuth began composing leaflets with the intent of sharing the truth about the Nazis and the war.
At first the leaflets were only written and distributed by himself. Soon however, Rudi Wobbe, Karl-Heinz Schnibbe, and Gerhard Düwer began listening to the BBC broadcasts and helping him distribute his leaflets around Hamburg, leaving them on billboards, stuffing them into coat pockets, and leaving them in post boxes.
Capture and Execution
On February 5, 1942, Helmuth was captured while attempting to get one of his friends to translate the leaflets into French so they could be handed out to prisoners of war.
At his trial on August 11, 1942, he was tried as an adult by the People’s Court (Volksgerichtshof) in Berlin, which had jurisdiction over matters of treason. Hübener was sentenced to death. After the sentence was read, Hübener faced the judges and said: "Now I must die, even though I have committed no crime. So now it's my turn, but your turn will come." His civil rights were also stripped from him, which gave the guard’s the ability to torture and abuse him without fear of retribution.
Petitions for clemency were denied. On October 27 Helmuth was told he would be executed later that day. He was told this at 1:05 pm. The execution was carried out by guillotine at 8:13 pm.

896692 | https://simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virginia%20Giuffre%20v.%20Prince%20Andrew | Virginia Giuffre v. Prince Andrew | Virginia Giuffre v. Prince Andrew is an American lawsuit that started in 2021. Virginia Giuffre is the plaintiff and Prince Andrew, Duke of York is the defendant in a civil lawsuit (see civil law), at the lower courts of the federal court system of the United States.
On February 15, 2022 the lawsuit was settled; The lawsuit will not go to trial.
The lawsuit says that Andrew had sex in 2001 with Giuffre when she was 17 years old; Prince Andrew "has strongly denied any wrongdoing", media said.
Previously, on January 12, 2022 the judge Lewis A. Kaplan gave permission for the lawsuit to go on.
Andrew has asked for a jury trial, media said.
Background
In 2011 Giuffre got "$160,000 from the Daily Mail for an interview in which she described meeting Prince Andrew" when Giuffre and Jeffrey Epstein took a trip to London in 2001.
In 2014, her story about having "sex with Andrew three times", was made public; That story says that she had sex with Andrew in London in 2001, and again in New York, and at age 18 in the Virgin Islands.
Before the lawsuit of 2021, there have been mistakes in what Giuffre has said. Giuffre's testimony was not used in the trial (in 2021) and conviction against Ghislaine Maxwell.
Giuffre worked at Mar-a-Lago during "the summer she turned 17"; there she became an acquaintance of Maxwell; Thru Maxwell, she met Jeffrey Epstein. Giuffre tried to sell a memoir to publishers; In it Giuffre said that she had been on Epstein's estate on her 16th birthday.
Lawsuit
The lawsuit has been received by the District Court for the Southern District of New York.
By 14 July 2022, any depositions – out-of-court testimony – for the case have to be given to the court; Judge Kaplan said that.
Media is claiming that Andrew has made an agreement to answer - under oath - questions during a meeting (in England) with Giuffre's lawyers, sometime in March.
The lawsuit is accusing Andrew of "sexual assault and intentional infliction of emotional distress." Giuffre says that she has experienced sexual abuse from Andrew.
