Frenzy of Exultations
Frenzy of Exultations (Szał uniesień), or better known as just Frenzy (Szał), is an 1893 painting by Polish artist, Władysław Podkowiński, and is credited as the most famous work in his output. It is considered the first work of symbolism in Polish art, during a period when Poland was partitioned between its neighbours: Russia, Germany and Austria.
# Description.
The painting shows a naked, redheaded woman riding a black, frenetic horse. The horse reveals its teeth, and its tongue hangs out. Its nostrils are dilated and foam runs from its mouth. The woman riding the horse clasps its neck with her eyes closed, her loose hair fans out and flows upwards to mingle with the | 6,127,711 |
28149105 | Frenzy of Exultations | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frenzy%20of%20Exultations | Frenzy of Exultations
horse's mane.
The color range is quite narrow and is composed of blacks, browns and grays contrasting with the white and yellow. The image is divided into light and dark parts. The upper left corner is illuminated, directing attention to a clear figure of a woman and the horse's mouth. The right side of the painting shows whirled darkness in which the horse's hind and tail can be seen.
# Background.
The concept of this work dates back to Podkowiński's stay in Paris in 1889, but the emergence of successive oil sketches and charcoal studies in the second half of 1893 was the consequence of the growing drama of unrequited love in the artist's life. In his vision, Podkowiński elevates erotic | 6,127,712 |
28149105 | Frenzy of Exultations | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frenzy%20of%20Exultations | Frenzy of Exultations
ecstasy to an absolute value, regarding it, in accordance with the psychologism current for that time, as the cosmic power and determinant of the human condition. Setting about the execution of the huge painting, he employed the academic method of preparatory sketches that correspond to the final version, while differing slightly one from another in size and colour. Reduced in colour scheme, they range from the ultramarine version (lost), through work enlivened with green, to the subsequent ones, in which intense orange predominates. The avalanche of stones was removed from the final version as well. In comparison with the sketches, the final, monumental composition gained in dynamism and the | 6,127,713 |
28149105 | Frenzy of Exultations | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frenzy%20of%20Exultations | Frenzy of Exultations
previously weak contrast of colour intensified to that between golden and black, and the tension between light and shadow was more polarised. This could be an effect of his private life drama and the progress of his lung disease.
# History.
Podkowiński started to paint in Warsaw between 1893 and 1894. The creation process lasted at least three months, and according to a friend, the terminally ill Podkowiński "was painting from his bed" as he finished the work. The painting was shown at the Zachęta exhibition on 18 March 1894. The exhibition was accompanied by an atmosphere of sensationalism and scandal; however, approximately 12,000 people saw the picture, earning nearly 350 rubles for the | 6,127,714 |
28149105 | Frenzy of Exultations | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frenzy%20of%20Exultations | Frenzy of Exultations
gallery.
Despite the success of the painting, Podkowiński could not find a willing buyer: 3000 rubles were offered, but Podkowiński had asked for 10,000.
On the morning of 23 April 1894, 36 days since the exhibition's opening and just before its planned end, Podkowiński came to the exhibition and slashed the painting with a knife. The reasons for this act are unclear.
Podkowiński's act of desecration may have contributed to the rumours that the image portrayed a woman towards which the artist had an unfulfilled affection. The damage of the image, and Podkowiński's death soon afterwards fuelled the speculation of his death being a suicide. Providing a rationale for this explanation are the | 6,127,715 |
28149105 | Frenzy of Exultations | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Frenzy%20of%20Exultations | Frenzy of Exultations
traces of cuts on the canvas showing that only the image of the woman was subject to the attack. The object of the artist's feelings could be Ewa Kotarbińska, whom he met during his summer stay in a palace near Warsaw. She was a brunette, but some record that her family saw a similarity between her and the woman in the painting and harshly condemned him.
After Podkowiński's death the painting was restored by Witold Urbański. The restored work was lent to other exhibitions in Łódź, Kraków, Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Finally, the canvas was purchased by Feliks Jasieński in 1901 for 1,000 rubles, and in 1904 was given to the National Museum in Kraków.

Mentec PDP-11
Mentec Limited was founded in 1978 and initially focused on the development of monitoring and control software and systems. It was a significant Digital reseller and OEM in Ireland. Mentec Computer Systems Limited was a subsidiary of Mentec Limited that developed PDP-11 processors. Mentec Inc. was a US-based subsidiary of Mentec Limited. In the early 1980s it had a range of remote terminal units based on the SBC/11-21 (Falcon).
Once the DEC J-11 PDP-11 processor chip set became available in 1982 Mentec commenced the design of its first PDP-11 single board computer the M70. In 1994 Digital transferred the PDP-11 operating systems to Mentec Inc.
# Product Range.
## M70.
The M70 | 6,127,728 |
28149133 | Mentec PDP-11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mentec%20PDP-11 | Mentec PDP-11
was developed between 1982 and 1984. It was a quad Q-bus module based on the J-11 chipset incorporating onboard ECC DRAM, bootstrap EPROMs and 4 serial lines implemented using DEC DC319 DLART chips.
## M71.
The M71 was a version of the M70 intended for process control. It provided for 1/4 or 1 M Byte of ECC DRAM, up to 1/2 MB of EPROM, lines (DC-319 DLARTs) and two parallel ports implemented using 8255 chips. It was initially designed by Mentec for use in its own Remote Terminal Units.
## M80.
The M80 was a further development of the M70 but using parity memory and a slightly higher clock rate. It also introduced software configuration via the bootstrap which all but eliminated wire-wrap | 6,127,729 |
28149133 | Mentec PDP-11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mentec%20PDP-11 | Mentec PDP-11
configuration.
## M90.
This was effectively merely a clock tweaked version of the M80.
## M100.
The M100 was the last of Mentec's J-11 based processor boards. It was a somewhat tidied up and faster re-design of the M90.
Some late models incorporated a daughter card with a Xilinx part which replaced the DLARTs and implemented a FIFO to prevent overruns for OEM applications.
A small number of late models incorporated an SRAM daughter card which replaced the on-board DRAM.
## M11.
The M11 was a microcoded re-implementation from scratch of the M100.
It was based around two Texas Instruments TI8832 ALUs and a TI 8818 microsequencer.
One of the ALUs was used as the processor ALU while the | 6,127,730 |
28149133 | Mentec PDP-11 | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mentec%20PDP-11 | Mentec PDP-11
second was used to implement the memory management unit. An Intel i960 processor was used to load the microcode, perform floating point (in IEEE format) and provide ODT.
The 4 DLARTs of the earlier M100 were emulated on a single Xilinx part.

Maxwell's thermodynamic surface
Maxwell’s thermodynamic surface is an 1874 sculpture made by Scottish physicist James Clerk Maxwell (1831–1879). This model provides a three-dimensional space of the various states of a fictitious substance with water-like properties. This plot has coordinates volume (x), entropy (y), and energy (z). It was based on the American scientist Josiah Willard Gibbs’ graphical thermodynamics papers of 1873. The model, in Maxwell's words, allowed "the principal features of known substances [to] be represented on a convenient scale."
# Construction of the model.
Gibbs' papers defined what Gibbs called the "thermodynamic surface," which expressed the relationship between | 6,127,734 |
28149071 | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxwell's%20thermodynamic%20surface | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface
the volume, entropy, and energy of a substance at different temperatures and pressures. However, Gibbs did not include any diagrams of this surface. After receiving reprints of Gibbs' papers, Maxwell recognized the insight afforded by Gibbs' new point of view and set about constructing physical three-dimensional models of the surface. This reflected Maxwell's talent as a strong visual thinker and prefigured modern scientific visualization techniques.
Maxwell sculpted the original model in clay and made three plaster casts of the clay model, sending one to Gibbs as a gift, keeping the other two in his laboratory at Cambridge University. Maxwell's copy is on display at the Cavendish Laboratory | 6,127,735 |
28149071 | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxwell's%20thermodynamic%20surface | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface
of Cambridge University, while Gibbs' copy is on display at the Sloane Physics Laboratory of Yale University, where Gibbs held a professorship. A number of historic photographs were taken of these plaster casts during the middle of the twentieth century – including one by James Pickands II, published in 1942 – and these photographs exposed a wider range of people to Maxwell's visualization approach.
# Uses of the model.
Maxwell drew lines of equal pressure (isopiestics) and of equal temperature (isothermals) on his plaster cast by placing it in the sunlight, and "tracing the curve when the rays just grazed the surface." He sent sketches of these lines to a number of colleagues. For example, | 6,127,736 |
28149071 | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxwell's%20thermodynamic%20surface | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface
his letter to Thomas Andrews of 15 July 1875 included sketches of these lines. Maxwell provided a more detailed explanation and a clearer drawing of the lines in the revised version of his book "Theory of Heat", and a version of this drawing appeared on a 2005 US postage stamp in honour of Gibbs.
As well as being on display in two countries, Maxwell's model lives on in the literature of thermodynamics, and books on the subject often mention it, though not always with complete historical accuracy. For example, the thermodynamic surface represented by the sculpture is often reported to be that of water, contrary to Maxwell's own statement.
# Related models.
Maxwell's model was not the first | 6,127,737 |
28149071 | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Maxwell's%20thermodynamic%20surface | Maxwell's thermodynamic surface
plaster model of a thermodynamic surface: in 1871, even before Gibbs' papers, James Thomson had constructed a plaster pressure-volume-temperature plot, based on data for carbon dioxide collected by Thomas Andrews.
Around 1900, the Dutch scientist Heike Kamerlingh Onnes, together with his student Johannes Petrus Kuenen and his assistant Zaalberg van Zelst, continued Maxwell's work by constructing their own plaster thermodynamic surface models. These models were based on accurate experimental data obtained in their laboratory, and were accompanied by specialised tools for drawing the lines of equal pressure.

1990–91 Portland Trail Blazers season
The 1990–91 NBA season was the 21st season for the Portland Trail Blazers in the National Basketball Association. During the offseason, the Blazers acquired Danny Ainge from the Sacramento Kings. The Blazers won their first eleven games on their way to a franchise best start at a record of 27–3. They would post a 16-game winning streak near the end of the season as they finished with a league best record at 63–19, setting a franchise-high win total that still stands today, and made their ninth consecutive trip to the NBA Playoffs. It was their first Pacific Division title since the 1977–78 season, and ended the Los Angeles Lakers' streak of nine straight | 6,127,740 |

years as Pacific Division champions and number-one seed in the Western Conference.
However, after advancing to the Western Conference Finals with a 3–2 win over the Seattle SuperSonics in the first round, and a 4–1 win over the Utah Jazz in the conference semifinals, the Blazers were denied a second straight trip to the NBA Finals, falling to the 3rd-seeded Lakers in six games.
Three members of the team, Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter and Kevin Duckworth were all selected for the 1991 NBA All-Star Game.

Senna didymobotrya
Senna didymobotrya is a species of flowering plant in the legume family known by the common names African senna, popcorn senna, candelabra tree, and peanut butter cassia. It is native to Africa, where it can be found across the continent in several types of habitat.
It has been introduced to many other parts of the world for use as an ornamental plant, a cover crop and a leguminous green manure. In some places it is now naturalized in the wild, for example, in parts of Indonesia, Australia, Mexico, and the United States in California, Florida, and Hawaii.
# Description.
It is a hairy, aromatic shrub usually growing up to about five meters tall but known to reach nine meters | 6,127,748 |
28149202 | Senna didymobotrya | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Senna%20didymobotrya | Senna didymobotrya
at times.
The leaves are up to half a meter long and are made up of many pairs of elongated oval leaflets each up to 6.5 centimeters long.
The plant has a strong scent which has been variously described as being reminiscent of mice, wet dog, peanut butter, and burnt popcorn.
The plant flowers plentifully in racemes of bright yellow flowers, with some flowers also occurring in leaf axils. The flower raceme has open flowers on the lower part with unopened buds at the tip covered in stark brownish green or black bracts. The flower has five concave petals each 1.5 to nearly 3 centimeters long. The flower has ten stamens, usually seven fertile ones and three sterile staminodes. Some of the stamens | 6,127,749 |

lower has five concave petals each 1.5 to nearly 3 centimeters long. The flower has ten stamens, usually seven fertile ones and three sterile staminodes. Some of the stamens have large anthers measuring a centimeter long.
The fruit is a flat brown legume pod up to 12 centimeters long which contains up to 16 bean like seeds up to a centimeter long each.
The plant is poisonous.
# Uses.
In Kenya, some cultures use it to prepare a special type of sour milk which is used mainly during festivities - being used for this purpose casts doubt on its toxicity.

Mark James Littlewood (born 28 April 1972) is the director general of the libertarian, free market think-tank, the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA). He has formerly been the chief press spokesman for the Liberal Democrats and the Pro-Euro Conservative Party and was an advisor to Conservative Party Prime Minister David Cameron. Having previously been in favour of deeper European integration, Littlewood later adopted a eurosceptic position and advocated voting Leave in the 2016 referendum on Membership of the European Union.
# Early life.
Littlewood attended The Forest School in Winnersh in the Borough of Wokingham, then in the county of Berkshire. He studied philosophy, politics | 6,127,758 |

and economics at Balliol College, Oxford, from 1990 to 1993, and was campaigns director of Liberty from June 2001 to April 2004. While on sabbatical, he became the chief spokesperson of the campaign group NO2ID.
# Career.
Littlewood was appointed head of media for the Liberal Democrats in December 2004. He resigned from the Liberal Democrat position in May 2007, after saying that the introduction of proportional representation should not be a deal-breaker when negotiating for Liberal Democrat involvement in a coalition. He was the director of Liberal Vision from 2008 to 2009, a classical liberal group within the Liberal Democrats, before taking up the directorship of the Thatcherite think-tank | 6,127,759 |

the Institute of Economic Affairs in December 2009. Since taking up this role, Littlewood has appeared several times as a panelist on the BBC's "Question Time".
Littlewood has spoken extensively against regulation of tobacco producing multinationals on behalf of the IEA, who receive long-term funding from British American Tobacco, Japan Tobacco International, Imperial Tobacco and from the cigarette manufacturer Philip Morris International. Littlewood was accused of a "clear conflict of interest" by the All Party Parliamentary Group on Smoking and Health, which stated that he "clearly has a pro-tobacco agenda", while Jean King of Cancer Research UK stated that "for any organisation [such as | 6,127,760 |

Manteca (song)
"Manteca" is one of the earliest foundational tunes of Afro-Cuban jazz. Co-written by Dizzy Gillespie, Chano Pozo and Gil Fuller in 1947, it is among the most famous of Gillespie's recordings (along with the earlier "Night in Tunisia") and is "one of the most important records ever made in the United States", according to Gary Giddins of the "Village Voice". "Manteca" is the first tune rhythmically based on the clave to become a jazz standard.
# History.
In 1947, Gillespie asked Mario Bauzá to recommend a Cuban percussionist for his big band. Bauzá suggested Pozo, a rough-living percussionist already famous in Cuba, and Gillespie hired him. They began to work Pozo's Cuban-style | 6,127,763 |
28149141 | Manteca (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manteca%20(song) | Manteca (song)
percussion into the band's arrangements.
The band was touring in California when Pozo presented Gillespie with the idea for the tune. It featured a bridge of two eight-bar trumpet statements by Gillespie, percussion patterns played by Pozo, and horn lines from Gillespie's big band arranger Walter "Gil" Fuller. According to Gillespie, Pozo composed the layered, contrapuntal guajeos (Afro-Cuban ostinatos) of the A section and the introduction, while Gillespie wrote the bridge. Gillespie recounted: "If I'd let it go like [Pozo] wanted it, it would have been strictly Afro-Cuban all the way. There wouldn't have been a bridge. I thought I was writing an eight-bar bridge, but after eight bars I hadn't | 6,127,764 |
28149141 | Manteca (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manteca%20(song) | Manteca (song)
resolved back to B-flat, so I had to keep going and ended up writing a sixteen-bar bridge."
The rhythm of the 'A' section melody is identical to a common mambo bell pattern:
/score
Early performances of "Manteca" reveal that despite their enthusiasm for collaborating, Gillespie and Pozo were not very familiar with each other's music. The members of Gillespie's band were unaccustomed to guajeos, overly swinging and accenting them in an atypical fashion. Thomas Owens observes: "Once the theme ends and the improvisation begins... Gillespie and the full band continue the bebop mood, using swing eighths in spite of Pozo's continuing even eighths, until the final A section of the theme returns. | 6,127,765 |
28149141 | Manteca (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manteca%20(song) | Manteca (song)
Complete assimilation of Afro-Cuban rhythms and improvisations on a harmonic ostinato was still a few years away for the beboppers in 1947."
"Manteca" was first performed by the big band at Carnegie Hall on September 29, 1947; it was very well received. The big band recorded the tune on December 22, 1947, and in early 1948 they toured Europe for a few months, without including the piece in their set list. Instead, they featured the two-part tune "Cubana-Be/Cubana-Bop", recorded eight days before "Manteca", as their nod to Afro-Cuban jazz. Resuming touring in the Spring 1948, the band replaced "Cubana-Be/Cubana-Bop" with "Manteca" in their set list, augmented with Pozo's abakuá chants; audiences | 6,127,766 |
28149141 | Manteca (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manteca%20(song) | Manteca (song)
and critics responded strongly. "The New Yorker" and "Life" both printed pictorials and reviews of the band. "Life" wrote that Pozo was a "frenzied drummer", "shouting incoherently" in apparent "bop transport". "Down Beat" said in September 1948 that "Manteca" was performed "almost as a tribal rite", making a primitive statement. On October 9, 1948, the song was recorded as part of a show at the Royal Roost in New York. Gillespie responded to the crowd's amusement at Pozo's chanting by mimicking Pozo's chants himself, evoking laughter from the audience. This type of clowning was common to Gillespie's stage presence but it was in contrast to his serious effort to incorporate Afro-Cuban elements | 6,127,767 |
28149141 | Manteca (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manteca%20(song) | Manteca (song)
into jazz. On this recording, someone is heard playing the 3-2 "son clave" pattern on claves throughout a good portion of this 2-3 song. This recording is the last one Pozo made of "Manteca"; he was shot and killed in a Harlem bar two months later.
The Spanish word "manteca" (lard) is an Afro-Cuban slang term for marijuana. Coincidentally, the title of the very first Latin jazz tune—Mario Bauzá's "Tanga" (1942), is also said to be an Afro-Cuban term for marijuana. "Tanga" was recorded by the New York-based mambo big band, Machito and his Afro-Cubans (under the direction of Bauzá). Because mainstream jazz audiences are generally not aware of the innovations of Machito's band, "Manteca" is often | 6,127,768 |
28149141 | Manteca (song) | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Manteca%20(song) | Manteca (song)
erroneously cited as the first authentic Latin jazz (or Afro-Cuban jazz) tune. Although "Tanga" preceded "Manteca" by several years, the former is a modal descarga (Cuban jam), lacking a typical jazz bridge, or B section, and is not well known enough to be considered a jazz standard. When Gillespie first began experimenting with Afro-Cuban rhythms, the bebop pioneer called the subgenre "cu-bop".
The piece refers to racial tensions in America; Gillespie is heard singing, "I'll never go back to Georgia". In 1965, the Joe Cuba Sextet got their first crossover hit with the Latin and soul fusion of "El Pito (I'll Never Go Back To Georgia)". The "Never Go Back To Georgia" chant was taken from Dizzy | 6,127,769 |

Gillespie's introduction to this seminal Afro-Cuban tune, "Manteca".
# Influence.
In 1961, blues guitarist Bobby Parker had a "Billboard" Hot 100 hit with the song "Watch Your Step", which he wrote based on "Manteca". Parker said "I started playing the riff on my guitar and decided to make a blues out of it." Parker's song was performed on stage by the Beatles in 1961 and 1962, and, according to John Lennon, provided a musical basis for both "I Feel Fine" and "Day Tripper".
Nikolai Kapustin, a Russian jazz-classical composer, wrote a piano duet called "Paraphrase on Dizzy Gillespie's 'Manteca' " featuring the two main themes and a middle section with blues-style improvisations.

CulinaryCorps
CulinaryCorps is an American non-profit organization that recruits culinary students and professionals to volunteer their professional skills on trips to communities in the United States.
# History.
The organization was founded by Christine Carroll following a volunteer trip to New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina. Carroll and other experienced culinary professionals were helping to repaint a local school when she conceived the idea of a food-focused volunteer organization. Upon returning home she launched CulinaryCorps to enable cooks to volunteer their professional skills to assist communities in need.
Carroll coined the term "culanthropy" (a portmanteau of the words "culinary" | 6,127,775 |
28149295 | CulinaryCorps | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CulinaryCorps | CulinaryCorps
and "philanthropy") to describe the organization's brand of food-focused volunteerism.
# Function.
The organization recruits culinary students and professionals in the culinary industry to volunteer on week-long trips to communities in the United States. The objective of CulinaryCorps is to make a lasting impact on the community served, while simultaneously inspiring its volunteers to become lifelong champions of positive social change through food and cooking. CulinaryCorps members have volunteered on trips to New Orleans, Louisiana; the Mississippi Gulf Coast; and Puerto Rico.
# Impact.
In its first sixteen months, the organization launched five volunteer trips during which more than 3,500 | 6,127,776 |
28149295 | CulinaryCorps | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CulinaryCorps | CulinaryCorps
meals were prepared by 76 volunteer cooks from across the United States. Since then, the organization has launched additional trips to New Orleans, the Mississippi Gulf Coast, and Puerto Rico. Each volunteer trip lasts about a week.
During each volunteer trip, the organization's team partners with a variety of local organizations to perform food-related projects for the local community's benefit. For example, in the New Orleans and Mississippi Gulf Coast regions, CulinaryCorps has partnered with many local and nonprofit organizations, including:
- Habitat for Humanity, where CulinaryCorps chefs cooked for hundreds of resident Habitat volunteers rebuilding homes following Hurricane Katrina;
- | 6,127,777 |
28149295 | CulinaryCorps | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=CulinaryCorps | CulinaryCorps
- The Edible Schoolyard at the Samuel J. Green Charter School in New Orleans, where CulinaryCorps volunteers instructed students on food, cooking, and nutrition;
- Café Reconcile in New Orleans, where CulinaryCorps volunteers cooked meals and performed career mentoring with culinary students;
- Real Food Gulf Coast, which, together with CulinaryCorps, designed and launched an after-school cooking club curriculum for children in the Ocean Springs, Mississippi School District; and
- Liberty's Kitchen, a culinary training and job placement program for at-risk teens in New Orleans, where CulinaryCorps volunteers cooked for the opening gala celebration.

Culex quinquefasciatus
Culex quinquefasciatus Say, 1823 (originally named Culex fatigans), commonly known as the southern house mosquito, is a medium-sized mosquito found in tropical and subtropical regions of the world. It is the vector of "Wuchereria bancrofti", avian malaria, and arboviruses including St. Louis encephalitis virus, Western equine encephalitis virus, Zika virus and West Nile virus. It is taxonomically regarded as a member of the "Culex pipiens" species complex. Its genome was sequenced in 2010, and was shown to have 18,883 protein-coding genes.
# Description.
The adult "C. quinquefasciatus" is a medium-sized mosquito and is brown in colour. The body is about 3.96 to 4.25 mm | 6,127,781 |
28149015 | Culex quinquefasciatus | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culex%20quinquefasciatus | Culex quinquefasciatus
long. While the main body is brown, the proboscis, thorax, wings, and tarsi are darker than the rest of the body. The head is light brown, with the lightest portion in the center. The antennae and the proboscis are about the same length, but in some cases, the antennae are slightly shorter than the proboscis. The flagellum has 13 segments that may have few or no scales. The scales of the thorax are narrow and curved. The abdomen has pale, narrow, rounded bands on the basal side of each tergite. Males can be differentiated from females in having large palps and feathery antennae.
The larva has a short and stout head. The mouth brushes have long yellow filaments used for filtering organic materials. | 6,127,782 |
28149015 | Culex quinquefasciatus | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culex%20quinquefasciatus | Culex quinquefasciatus
The abdomen consists of eight segments, the siphon, and the saddle. Each segment has a unique setae pattern. The siphon is on the dorsal side of the abdomen, and is four times longer than its breadth. The siphon has multiple setae tufts. The saddle is barrel-shaped and located on the ventral side of the abdomen, with four long anal papillae protruding from the posterior end.
# Lifecycle.
Mature "C. quinquefasciatus" females fly at night to nutrient-rich standing water to lay eggs. The larvae feed on organic material in the water and require between five and eight days to complete their development at 30 °C. The larvae pass through four larval instars, and towards the end of the fourth instar, | 6,127,783 |
28149015 | Culex quinquefasciatus | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culex%20quinquefasciatus | Culex quinquefasciatus
they stop eating and undergo moulting to give rise to pupae. After 36 hours at 27 °C, adults emerge. The exact timing of development can vary depending on temperature. Both males and females take sugar meals from plants. But after mating, the female seeks a blood meal on mammals and birds. Ingested blood is necessary for egg development. A single female can lay up to five rafts of eggs in a lifetime, with each raft containing thousands of eggs. The exact number varies depending on climatic conditions.
# As a vector.
The southern house mosquito transmits zoonotic diseases that affect humans and wild and domestic animals, such as lymphatic filariasis, avian malaria, St. Louis encephalitis, Western | 6,127,784 |
28149015 | Culex quinquefasciatus | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culex%20quinquefasciatus | Culex quinquefasciatus
equine encephalitis, and West Nile fever, and may be a vector of the Zika virus. It causes infection through biting during blood meal. In the southern U.S., it is the primary vector of St. Louis encephalitis virus. In India and Southeast Asia, it is the primary vector of "Wuchereria bancrofti", a nematode that causes lymphatic filariasis. It acts as an intermediate host for the helminth parasite by harbouring the larval stages. It also transmits "Plasmodium relictum", a malarial parasite of birds, and is its principal vector in Hawaii. It is the definitive host for the malarial parasite as it harbours the sexual cycle.
# Bionomics.
It breeds profusely in dirty water collections, including | 6,127,785 |
28149015 | Culex quinquefasciatus | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Culex%20quinquefasciatus | Culex quinquefasciatus
or the malarial parasite as it harbours the sexual cycle.
# Bionomics.
It breeds profusely in dirty water collections, including stagnant drains, cesspools, septic tanks with leaks, burrow pits, and almost all organic polluted water collections. In optimum temperature and humidity, the lifecycle will be completed in seven days, passing through the egg, larval, pupal, and adult stages.
"C. quinquefasciatus" shows a preference to feed on the blood of birds, but will also commonly bite humans. It rests in trees and high places.

Amazon Elastic Block Store
Amazon Elastic Block Store (EBS) provides raw block-level storage that can be attached to Amazon EC2 instances and is used by Amazon Relational Database Service (RDS).
Amazon EBS provides a range of options for storage performance and cost. These options are divided into two major categories: SSD-backed storage for transactional workloads, such as databases and boot volumes (performance depends primarily on IOPS), and disk-backed storage for throughput intensive workloads, such as MapReduce and log processing (performance depends primarily on MB/s).
# Use case.

filesystem. EBS supports advanced storage features, including snapshotting and cloning. As of June 2014, EBS volumes can be up to 1TB in size.
EBS volumes are built on replicated back end storage, so that the failure of a single component will not cause data loss.
# History.
EBS was introduced by Amazon in August 2008. As of March 2018 30 GB of free space was included in the free tier of Amazon Web Services 2017.
# Volume types.
