If you like, you can add lemon juice to the whites to stabilize them and help them hold their stiff shape. You can also add acid or ascorbic acid to the sugar-water mixture to raise the pH (decrease acidity) so that it doesn’t impact the ability of the whites to whip up. Then, of course, you have to make sure to incorporate the acidified sugar-water mixture into the egg whites gently and carefully.",

In 1983, Nintendo released the Family Computer (which was later known as the Nintendo Entertainment System or NES), which had very large sales and was popular for many years, until the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (or Super NES) was released in 1990. The NES, SEGA Master System, and other consoles in the 1980s introduced several conventions of video games such as a two-player gamepad.\n\nComputers in the 1980s and 1990s were not fast enough to play modern video games, so companies such as Sony, Atari, and Sega designed video game consoles that played games in a “software emulator” rather than running games directly on the hardware. In 1991, Nintendo released the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (Super NES) and Sony followed in 1993 with the PlayStation. The Nintendo 64 came out in 1996, the Dreamcast came out in 1999, and the Wii came out in 2006. Microsoft released the Xbox in 2001 and the Xbox 360",

However, despite all of her education, her family was still under the assumption that women should only stay at home, and that she was going to be an unpaid and unhappy wife, so she decided to take the radical step of abandoning her family and coming to study in Paris. After earning a PhD, she stayed on in Paris as a researcher in physics and chemistry, and the scientist Henri Becquerel took an interest in her and she got the chance to work on the most important and famous experiment of her life, developing radioactive materials and techniques which eventually led to the discovery of radiation. In 1903 she was awarded the Nobel Prize in physics. Because Marie Curie was a woman in the late 19th century, she had to become much more assertive than a man would be to gain recognition, and she had to make sure that her work was independent and took the work of others into account.

The eyes are small knobs on the surface of the root. Try to avoid any roots that look damaged, brown or withered, because these are most likely to be diseased and poisonous. The more eyes on the roots, the better, because you can be certain that each eye is a growing node.\n2. Dig a hole about one foot deep, and place each potato with one eye down in the hole. Try to get the root as straight as possible so that the eye is positioned down in the ground. You may need to nudge it straight with your hands or a small garden hoe. Fill the hole with soil around the root, but take care not to compact the soil too much.\n3. Water the newly planted potatoes thoroughly. You",

The potential difference between the two wires isn’t enough to cause electricity to flow through the bird. \n\nBirds use their sense of touch to orient themselves in space, and this works via the production and flow of a small electric current. This “current” is produced by the bird’s sense of touch, which runs between sensory organs inside the skin. When a bird touches a wire, it doesn’t form a complete circuit and produce electricity, because this small current is unable to jump across the contact surface (because it’s too small to allow the necessary electron flow) and enter the wire. \n\nThis is probably easiest to understand with a specific example, which is the electricity used to run a phone line. A typical line used by the phone company has a potential difference of 110 to 130 volts between the “hot” line and “neutral” line. This is far too much for the average bird’s current to flow through. \n\nNow, imagine a bird rubbing the tip of its beak on a 130-volt wire. At the instant the beak",

This is called “brand extension” and companies use it to make more money by making a “brand umbrella”, which is when you advertise a product or service on one brand or team to reach consumers of another brand or team. What’s a company like Nike got to gain? They sell shoes and also sponsor a number of sports teams, which is a great way to advertise and market their product. That’s because you’ve probably heard Nike shoes and brand associated with your favourite basketball team, soccer team or American football team. Another company that does this is Gatorade, who have athletes who drink their sports drink who end up being sponsored by many other brands. What’s a company like Under Armour got to gain? By sponsoring a team of athletes, they increase their brand awareness. This is a win-win for them because it increases their business and the consumer gets to watch their sports star play in stylish Under Armour gear. As you can see, companies get a lot out of this strategy, and the athletes do as well. If a player wins and becomes more popular and gets more fans, this results in increased income and fame.",

Napoleon, it is generally agreed, had many flaws, such as his belligerent and warmongering temperament, and his reluctance to enact liberal reforms. Nonetheless, he is often regarded by supporters as a man of great abilities and important historical significance. He is credited with supporting the ideals of Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity, and some see him as a champion of the ordinary French soldier, whose democratic reforms he fostered. He is seen as a unifier and a patriot who dedicated himself to the revival and development of France.

"content": "The reason you want bees in your garden is to attract pollinators and get more fruit or vegetable production. The sweet pea (Lathyrus odoratus) is a flower that’s especially good for attracting bees. Also look for other plants with purple or yellow flowers, these colors tend to attract a large variety of insects. The color yellow is generally very attractive to bees, so for example look for zinnias and marigolds, and especially for sunflowers. To grow sweet peas, simply plant the seeds. The plant is native to South America, but it is still widely grown as a garden flower. Sweet peas do not like a hot climate, so they might not be appropriate in your area. If you are really concerned about attracting pollinators, consider planting a “pollinator-friendly garden”, which includes a large variety of flowering plants that attract a wide range of insects.",

"content": "Objects in a liquid, whether a solid object or a liquid droplet, tend to float on the surface of the liquid if they are lighter than the liquid. Similarly, objects in a gas, whether a solid object or a gas bubble, tend to sink in the gas if they are heavier than the surrounding gas. Why does this happen? When you put a weight in water, or a tiny object in air, they experience a force from the water or air pushing up on them, and they also experience a force from their own weight pushing them down. Since the force from the water or air is usually greater than the force from their weight, the object floats. Conversely, if you put a heavy object in water, or a heavy gas bubble in a gas, they experience a force from the water or gas pushing them down, and they also experience a force from their own weight pushing them up. Since the force from the water or gas is usually smaller than the force from their own weight, they sink.",

The density of water varies from place to place, but on average it’s about 1 gram per cubic centimeter. The biggest influence on whether something will float or sink is its mass. For example, a large piece of lead will sink, but a small piece of paper or a plastic bottle may float.",

In most cases, first class gets you a wider seat, more amenities, and possibly a free meal or two. Some airlines also offer first class options on many routes within their network (such as Delta with their Delta One service). \nIn economy, you get a standard seat, and a limited set of amenities. In some cases, economy can get you a somewhat restricted seat (on some carriers, economy passengers get a middle seat, while first class passengers get the window or aisle seat), or a somewhat reduced set of amenities (such as some airlines that offer a basic Economy class service on many routes, with a premium economy service that offers more amenities). In either case, the service you get in economy isn’t as nice as what you’d get in first class, though it also tends to be significantly cheaper. \nIf you’re interested in either first class or economy, you may want to check with the individual airline to see if there are any specific deals or rates you might be interested in.",
