Tidal disruption of_a_super_jupiter_by_a_massive_black_hole
This document summarizes observations of IGR J12580+0134, a newly discovered hard X-ray source associated with the Seyfert 2 galaxy NGC 4845, which underwent an unusual X-ray flare. Follow-up observations with XMM-Newton, Swift, MAXI, and INTEGRAL are presented and analyzed. The spectrum is well described by an absorbed power law plus soft excess. The hard X-ray flux increased over weeks and decreased over a year as expected for a tidal disruption event. Fast variations near peak allowed estimating the black hole mass as ∼3×105 M⊙, indicating disruption of ∼10% of a 14-30 Jupiter mass object. Hard X-ray emission is from a corona forming

3 creationism and evolutionism-2012
1. The document discusses creationism and evolutionism as theories for the origin of living things. Creationism believes species were created as they are now, while evolutionism believes species evolve over time from ancestral forms.
2. Key figures discussed include Linnaeus, Cuvier, Lamarck, Darwin, and Wallace. Lamarck proposed a theory of evolution through inheritance of acquired characteristics and use/disuse of organs. Darwin and Wallace jointly developed the theory of evolution by natural selection.
3. The theory of natural selection proposes that species evolve through genetic variation, a struggle for survival, and the survival and reproduction of individuals best adapted to the environment, leading to the emergence of new species over generations.
Are vampires real
The document discusses whether vampires are real by examining legends and beliefs about vampires from around the world and throughout history. It notes that vampire stories date back thousands of years to entities like Lilith in the Bible and various creatures from ancient cultures. While some think vampires were inspired by figures like Vlad the Impaler, the document argues that vampire folklore is far more widespread and long-standing. It considers whether modern sightings of creatures like the chupacabra could indicate that different types of vampires may actually exist or be aliens in disguise. In the end, it concludes the question of whether vampires are real depends on one's definition and conception of what a vampire is.

I. The passage discusses the constant conflict between modernity and tradition. While social sciences often emphasize modernity, it is important to understand tradition and how it has shaped our lives in order to comprehend late modernity.
II. Some traditions are more recent innovations than imagined. For example, the Scottish kilt was invented in the 19th century by an Englishman and was a product of industrialization rather than an ancient tradition.
III. Many traditions were invented during the industrial era in the 19th century rather than being ancient, including some iconic Cambridge buildings and rituals surrounding the British monarchy.
Are vampires real
The document discusses the question of whether vampires are real by examining the history of vampire legends around the world. It notes that vampire stories date back thousands of years to ancient civilizations like Sumeria, Egypt, Greece and Rome which had their own versions of blood-drinking creatures. Throughout history, various cultures from Australia to Asia have believed in different types of vampires. Some modern theories suggest that certain reported vampires may actually be aliens visiting from other planets. The document concludes that whether vampires exist depends on one's definition of vampires and which types one considers possible.
Modern science in the Western and Non-Western contexts
This document provides context on the development of modern science in Western and non-Western contexts. It discusses how science grew alongside European colonial expansion and domination over nature and people. Key points include:
- Modern science was presented as separate from its historical antecedents during the height of colonialism, but there is now a tendency to acknowledge its complex origins.
- Advances in fields like navigation, medicine, and understanding of diseases like malaria and scurvy directly supported and were spurred by European colonialism and trade.
- Distant lands contributed essential knowledge and resources to scientific fields in Europe, especially in areas like natural history, medicine, and understanding diseases. This influence on the development of science in the
Essay Of Shakespeare
William Shakespeare was born in 1564 in Stratford-Upon-Avon to a poor family and received little formal education. Some scholars argue that Edward de Vere, the 17th Earl of Oxford, was the true author of Shakespeare's plays and sonnets due to de Vere's wealth of knowledge and experiences that are reflected in the works. De Vere received an elite education from private tutors as a child and traveled extensively in Italy, exposing him to literature, art, architecture, law, and aristocratic life in a way that Shakespeare could not have experienced. While no definitive proof exists, de Vere's background and life align more closely with the knowledge and perspectives demonstrated by the author of the Shakespearean works than
Modern science in the Western and Non-Western contexts
Advent, growth and deployment of (modern) science make a complex and multi-dimensional story. However, during the ‘golden age of colonialism’, once modern science came into a full- blown form, attempts were made to decouple it from its immediate antecedents and present it as a stand-alone, purely intellectual, exercise.

Figurative language power point
This document defines and provides examples of different types of figurative language including simile, metaphor, personification, hyperbole, onomatopoeia, idiom, pun, and oxymoron. It explains that a simile directly compares two things using like or as, while a metaphor makes a comparison without those words. Personification gives human traits to non-human objects or ideas. Hyperbole exaggerates to emphasize feeling, while understatement does the opposite. Onomatopoeia are words that imitate sounds. Idioms and puns use double meanings rather than literal definitions. An oxymoron combines contradictory terms.
Shari Abbey : Text structure explained powerpoint
Text structure refers to the patterns authors use to organize information in their writing to make it easier for readers to understand and remember. Without structure, facts are random and difficult to recall, just as an unpatterned image is hard to recreate from memory. Common text structures include description, sequence, problem-solution, compare-contrast, and cause-effect. Choosing the appropriate structure depends on the author's purpose and information to be conveyed. Understanding an author's structure can help readers better comprehend and retain what they read.
