The term limnology was coined by François-Alphonse Forel (1841–1912) who established the field with his studies of Lake Geneva. Interest in the discipline rapidly expanded, and in 1922 August Thienemann (a German zoologist) and Einar Naumann (a Swedish botanist) co-founded the International Society of Limnology (SIL, for originally Societas Internationalis Limnologiae). Forel's original definition of limnology, "the oceanography of lakes", was expanded to encompass the study of all inland waters. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limnology

Lake Vostok lies in the heart of the Antarctic continent hidden beneath 4 kilometers of ice. As big as Lake Ontario in North America, Lake Vostok is one of the world's biggest freshwater lakes. Lake Vostok has been covered by the vast Antarctic ice sheet for up to 25 million years. The lake was named for the Russian research station that sits above its southern tip. http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~mstuding/vostok.html

The Rhine River rises in two headstreams high in the Swiss Alps. The Vorderrhein emerges from Lake Toma at 7,690 feet, near the Oberalp Pass in the Central Alps, and then flows eastward past Disentis to be joined by the Hinterrhein from the south at Reichenau above Chur. (The Hinterrhein rises about five miles west of San Bernardino Pass, near the Swiss–Italian border, and is joined by the Albula River below Thusis.) Below Chur, the Rhine leaves the Alps to form the boundary first between Switzerland and the principality of Liechtenstein and then between Switzerland and Austria, before forming a delta as the current slackens at the entrance to Lake Constance. In this flat-floored section the Rhine has been straightened and the banks reinforced to prevent flooding. The Rhine leaves the lake via its Untersee arm. From there to its bend at Basel, the river is called the Hochrhein (“High Rhine”) http://www.history.com/topics/rhine-river

The Yogi Berra Museum & Learning Center officially opened its doors on Dec. 4, 1998, with students and teachers from the Bradford Academy in Montclair being the first public visitors. The YBMLC - a 501 © 3 nonprofit organization is located on the campus of Montclair State University, New Jersey’s fastest growing and second-largest university, adjacent to Yogi Berra Stadium, home of the minor-league New Jersey Jackals and Montclair State Red Hawks. http://www.yogiberramuseum.org/museum/yogi-berra-museum-history

Music and sports are so intertwined it's hard to imagine one without the other. Boston fans sing "Tessie" and "Sweet Caroline" to rally the Red Sox. The Alan Parsons Project greets the Bulls. "One Shining Moment" gift-wraps the Final Four. T he action on the field has a built-in sound track—a perfect score. It works the other way too: Sports is infused in music as much as music is infused in sports. Last year John Fogerty was honored at the National Baseball Hall of Fame on the 25th anniversary of "Centerfield." This month singer-songwriter Terry Cashman will receive the same nod for "Talkin' Baseball." In recent years Fenway Park has been a literal bandbox, hosting shows by Springsteen and the Stones, among others; in 2005, Jimmy Buffett (a monster Cubs fan and part-owner of a minor league team) played the first concert at Wrigley Field. Joe Frazier crooned, Bernie Williams strums, Ron Artest and Kobe Bryant rap (unfortunately) and former defensive tackle Mike Reid churns out beautiful country melodies. And the list of artists with sports-themed songs spans the breadth of popular music: Bob Dylan, Jay-Z, Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Common, New Order, Miles Davis, the Pogues, Snoop Dogg . . . and on and on. That is the rich vein from which Sports Illustrated has mined its first collection of Sports' Greatest Hits. See playlist of 40 songs as selected by Greg Kelly at: Sports Illustrated, July 4, 2001 issue, p. 128 or at: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/vault/article/magazine/MAG1187838/index.htm

Neon lights Glass tubes are heated over a flame and bent into shapes (usually letters). After that, neon gas is injected inside the tube to give it a desired glow. In 1898, English chemist Morris Travers and Scottish chemist William Ramsey cooled a sample of the atmosphere until it became a liquid. Ramsey then captured the gases within after boiling the liquid, one of which was neon. Georges Claude invented neon tubing and applied for a patent for his invention in 1911. This led to neon tubing as a vehicle for advertising starting in the 1920s. In 1922, The Packard Agency became the first company in America to use neon lights to advertise their products. http://www.ehow.com/facts_7497836_fun-neon-lights.html

The arabesque is a form of artistic decoration consisting of "surface decorations based on rhythmic linear patterns of scrolling and interlacing foliage, tendrils" or plain lines, often combined with other elements. Within the very wide range of Eurasian decorative art that includes motifs matching this basic definition the term "arabesque" is used consistently as a technical term by art historians to describe only elements of the decoration found in two phases: Islamic art from about the 9th century onwards, and European decorative art from the Renaissance onwards.
