A hybrid is the combination of two or more different things, aimed at achieving a particular objective or goal

Hybrids are mythological creatures combining body parts of more than one real species. They can be classified as partly human hybrids (such as
mermaids or centaurs), and non-human hybrids combining two or more animal species (such as the griffin). Hybrids are often zoomorphic deities
in origin who acquire an anthropomorphic aspect over time.
Partly human hybrids appear in petroglyphs or cave paintings from the Upper Paleolithic, in shamanistic or totemistic contexts. Ethnologist Ivar
Lissner theorized that cave paintings of beings combining human and animal features were not physical representations of mythical hybrids, but
were instead attempts to depict shamans in the process of acquiring the mental and spiritual attributes of various beasts or "power animals".[1]
Religious historian Mircea Eliade has observed that beliefs regarding animal identity and transformation into animals are widespread.[2] The
iconography of the Vinca culture of Neolithic Europe in particular is noted for its frequent depictinon of an owl-beaked "bird goddess".[3]
Global warming is the increase in the average temperature of the Earth's near-surface air and oceans since the mid-20th century and its
projected continuation. Global surface temperature increased 0.74 ± 0.18 °C (1.33 ± 0.32 °F) during the last century.[1][A] The Intergovernmental
Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) concludes that most of the observed temperature increase since the middle of the 20th century was caused by
increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases resulting from human activity such as fossil fuel burning and deforestation.[1] The IPCC also
concludes that variations in natural phenomena such as solar radiation and volcanoes produced most of the warming from pre-industrial times to
1950 and had a small cooling effect afterward.[2][3] These basic conclusions have been endorsed by more than 40 scientific societies and
academies of science,[B] including all of the national academies of science of the major industrialized countries.[4]
Climate model projections summarized in the latest IPCC report indicate that the global surface temperature will probably rise a further 1.1 to
6.4 °C (2.0 to 11.5 °F) during the twenty-first century.[1] The uncertainty in this estimate arises from the use of models with differing sensitivity to
greenhouse gas concentrations and the use of differing estimates of future greenhouse gas emissions. Some other uncertainties include how
warming and related changes will vary from region to region around the globe. Most studies focus on the period up to the year 2100. However,
warming is expected to continue beyond 2100 even if emissions stop, because of the large heat capacity of the oceans and the long lifetime of
carbon dioxide in the atmosphere.[5][6]
Crisis ninja: 1. 2001. Internet bubble burst.

2. The U.S. Federal Reserve two years the low cost of borrowing from 6.5% to 1%.

3. This dopa a market that was beginning to take off: the housing market.

4. In 10 years, the real price of housing is multiplied by two in the U.S..

5. For years, interest rates in international financial markets have been exceptionally low.

6. This has meant that banks have seen that the business made them smaller:
• They gave loans at low interest rates
7. To someone, then in America, he decided that banks had to do two things:

• Give more risky loans, by which they can charge more interest

8. As to the first (riskier loans), they decided:

• A) Provide a type of mortgage customers, ninja (no income, no job, no assets, that is, people without steady income, without fixed employment
without property)
.
9. Comment: I think, so far, everything is clear and it is also clear that anyone with common sense, although not a financial expert may think that if
something fails, the thud could be important.

10. As for the second (increased number of operations):


• Like many banks were giving loans, they ran out of money.
B-boying or breaking, commonly referred to as breakdancing, is a style of dance that evolved as part of hip-hop culture among Black and
Latino American youths in the South Bronx of New York City during the 1970s.[1]:125, 141, 153 It is danced to both hip-hop and other genres of music
that are often remixed to prolong the musical breaks. One who practices this style of dance is called a b-boy, b-girl, or breaker. Although
"breakdance" is a common term, "b-boying" and "breaking" are preferred by the majority of the art form’s pioneers and most notable practitioners.
[2][3]

Breaking's intense popularity started to fade in the late 1970s,[4]:137 but in the following decades it became an accepted dance style portrayed in
commercials, movies, and print media. Parties, disco clubs, talent shows, and other public events became typical locations for breakers.
Instruction in breaking techniques is now available at dance studios where hip-hop dance is taught. Today, breakers maintain a discipline
somewhere between that of dancers and athletes.
Inca mythology includes a number of stories and legends that are mythological and helps to explain or symbolizes Inca beliefs.
All Christian priests that followed the Spanish conquest of Peru by Francisco Pizarro burned the records of the Inca culture. There is currently a
theory put forward by Gary Urton that the Quipus represented a binary system capable of recording phonological or logographic data. All
information for what is known is based on what was recorded by priests, from the iconography on Incan pottery and architecture, and the myths
and legends which survived amongst the native peoples.
Body piercing is the practice of puncturing or cutting a part of the human body, creating an opening in which jewellery may be worn.[1] Body
piercing is a form of body modification. The word piercing can refer to the act or practice of body piercing, or to an opening in the body created by
this act or practice. The cultural norms reflected in body piercing are various. They may include religion, spirituality, fashion, eroticism,
conformism, or subcultural identification.
Emo (pronounced /ˈiːmoʊ/) is a style of rock music typically characterized by melodic musicianship and expressive, often confessional lyrics. It
originated in the mid-1980s hardcore punk movement of Washington, D.C., where it was known as "emotional hardcore" or "emocore" and
pioneered by bands such as Rites of Spring and Embrace. As the style was echoed by contemporary American punk bands, its sound and
meaning shifted and changed, blending with pop punk and indie rock and encapsulated in the early 1990s by groups such as Jawbreaker and
Sunny Day Real Estate. By the mid 1990s numerous emo acts emerged from the Midwestern and Central United States, and several independent
record labels began to specialize in the style.
Emo broke into mainstream culture in the early 2000s with the platinum-selling success of Jimmy Eat World and Dashboard Confessional and the
emergence of the more aggressive subgenre "screamo". In recent years the term "emo" has been applied by critics and journalists to a variety of
artists, including multiplatinum acts such as Fall Out Boy and My Chemical Romance and disparate groups such as Coheed and Cambria and
Panic at the Disco.
Peruvian cuisine is considered one of the most diverse in the world and is on par with French, Chinese and Indian cuisine. In January 2004, The
Economist stated that "Peru can lay claim to one of the world's dozen or so great cuisines",[1] while at the Fourth International Summit of
Gastronomy Madrid Fusión 2006, regarded as the world's most important gastronomic forum, held in Spain between January 17 and 19, Lima
was declared the "Gastronomic Capital of the Americas".[2]
Thanks to its pre-Incas and Inca heritage and to Spanish, Basque, African, Sino-Cantonese, Japanese and finally Italian, French and British
immigration (mainly throughout the 19th century), Peruvian cuisine combines the flavors of four continents. With the eclectic variety of traditional
dishes, the Peruvian culinary arts are in constant evolution, and impossible to list in their entirety. Suffice it to mention that along the Peruvian
coast alone there are more than two thousand different types of soups, and that there are more than 250 traditional desserts. The great variety in
Peruvian cuisine stems from three major influences:
• Peru's unique geography
• Peru's openness and blending of distinct ethnicities and cultures
• The incorporation of ancient cuisine into modern Peruvian cuisine
An eating disorder is a condition which affects an individuals eating habits, either as a result of their own doing (self-inflicted), or as a bodily
reaction to the consumption of food. Eating disorders can range from mild mental anguish to life-threatening conditions, and can affect every
aspect of an individuals daily life. According to the authors of Surviving an Eating Disorder, "feelings about work, school, relationships, day-to-day
activities and one's experience of emotional well being are determined by what has or has not been eaten or by a number on a scale."[1] Anorexia
nervosa and bulimia nervosa are the most common eating disorders generally recognized by medical classification schemes,[2] with a significant
diagnostic overlap between the two.[3] Together, they affect an estimated 5-7% of females in the United States during their lifetimes[4] and
"approximately 10% of eating disordered individuals coming to the attention of mental health professionals are male".[5] There are several other
eating disorders which are prevalent amongst certain demographics that are being investigated and defined - Rumination syndrome, Compulsive
overeating, and Selective eating disorder.
Gangrene is a complication of necrosis or cell death characterized by the decay of body tissues, which become black (and/or green) and
malodorous. It is caused by infection or ischemia, such as from thrombosis. It is usually the result of critically insufficient blood supply[1] (e.g.,
peripheral vascular disease) and is often associated with diabetes and long-term smoking[citation needed]. This condition is most common in the lower
extremities. The best treatment for gangrene is revascularization of the affected organ, which can reverse some of the effects of necrosis and
allow healing. Other treatments include debridement and surgical amputation. The method of treatment is generally determined depending on
location of affected tissue and extent of tissue loss.
Michel de Nostredame (14 December or 21 December 1503[1] – 2 July 1566), usually Latinised to Nostradamus, was a French apothecary and
reputed seer who published collections of prophecies that have since become famous worldwide. He is best known for his book Les Propheties
("The Prophecies"), the first edition of which appeared in 1555. Since the publication of this book, which has rarely been out of print since his
death, Nostradamus has attracted a following that, along with the popular press, credits him with predicting many major world events. The
prophecies have in some cases been assimilated to the results of applying the alleged Bible code, as well as to other purported prophetic works.
Most academic sources maintain that the associations made between world events and Nostradamus's quatrains are largely the result of
misinterpretations or mistranslations (sometimes deliberate) or else are so tenuous as to render them useless as evidence of any genuine
predictive power. Moreover, none of the sources listed offers any evidence that anyone has ever interpreted any of Nostradamus's quatrains
specifically enough to allow a clear identification of any event in advance
Anorexia nervosa is a psychiatric illness that describes an eating disorder characterized by extremely low body weight and body image distortion
with an obsessive fear of gaining weight. Individuals with anorexia nervosa are known to control body weight commonly through the means of
voluntary starvation, excessive exercise, or other weight control measures such as diet pills or diuretic drugs. Although the condition primarily
affects adolescent females, approximately 10% of people with the diagnosis are male.[1] Anorexia nervosa, involving neurobiological,
psychological, and sociological components[2], is a complex condition that can lead to death in the most severe cases.
The term anorexia is of Greek origin: a (α, prefix of negation), n (ν, link between two vowels) and orexis (ορεξις, appetite), thus meaning a lack of
desire to eat.[3]
Bulimia nervosa is an eating disorder characterized by recurrent binge eating, followed by compensatory behaviors.[1] The most common form is
defensive vomiting, sometimes called purging; fasting, the use of laxatives, enemas, diuretics, and over exercising are also common.[2] The word
bulimia derives from the Latin (būlīmia), which originally comes from the Greek βουλιμία (boulīmia; ravenous hunger), a compound of βους (bous),
ox + λιμός (līmos), hunger.[3]
Bulimia nervosa was named and first described by the British psychiatrist Gerald Russell in 1979.[4][5]
Autism is a disorder of neural development that is characterized by impaired social interaction and communication, and by restricted and
repetitive behavior. These signs all begin before a child is three years old.[1] Autism involves many parts of the brain; how this occurs is not well
understood.[2] Autism is one of the Autism spectrum disorders (ASD).[3]
Autism has a strong genetic basis, although the genetics of autism are complex and it is unclear whether ASD is explained more by rare
mutations, or by rare combinations of common genetic variants.[4] In rare cases, autism is strongly associated with agents that cause birth defects.
[5]
Controversies surround other proposed environmental causes, such as heavy metals, pesticides or childhood vaccines;[6] the vaccine
hypotheses are biologically implausible and lack convincing scientific evidence.[7] The prevalence of autism is about 1–2 per 1,000 people; the
prevalence of ASD is about 6 per 1,000, with about four times as many males as females. The number of people known to have autism has
increased dramatically since the 1980s, partly due to changes in diagnostic practice; the question of whether actual prevalence has increased is
unresolved.[8]

Arequipa ranks second in number of patients with AIDS in the country

Arequipa department moved into second place in the list of AIDS patients nationally, after ranking sixth place, recording 99 patients so far this
year, today reported Huarachi Omar, regional coordinator of prevention and control of sexually transmitted infections HIV-AIDS.
In particle physics, antimatter is the extension of the concept of the antiparticle to matter, where antimatter is composed of antiparticles in the
same way that normal matter is composed of particles. For example, an antielectron (a positron, an electron with a positive charge) and an
antiproton (a proton with a negative charge) could form an antihydrogen atom in the same way that an electron and a proton form a normal matter
hydrogen atom. Furthermore, mixing matter and antimatter would lead to the annihilation of both in the same way that mixing antiparticles and
particles does, thus giving rise to high-energy photons (gamma rays) or other particle–antiparticle pairs.
The RMS Titanic was an Olympic-class passenger liner owned by British shipping company White Star Line and built at the Harland and Wolff
shipyard in Belfast, Northern Ireland. At the time of her construction, she was the largest passenger steamship in the world.
Shortly before midnight on 14 April 1912, four days into the ship's maiden voyage, Titanic hit an iceberg and sank two hours and forty minutes
later, early on 15 April 1912. The sinking resulted in the deaths of 1,517 of the 2,223 people on board, making it one of the deadliest peacetime
maritime disasters in history. The high casualty rate was due in part to the fact that, although complying with the regulations of the time, the ship
did not carry enough lifeboats for everyone aboard. The ship had a total lifeboat capacity of 1,178 people, although her maximum capacity was
3,547. A disproportionate number of men died due to the women-and-children-first protocol that was followed
Narcolepsy is a chronic sleep disorder, or dyssomnia. The condition is characterized by excessive daytime sleepiness (EDS) in which a person
experiences extreme fatigue and possibly falls asleep at inappropriate times, such as while at work or at school. A narcoleptic will most probably
experience disturbed nocturnal sleep and also abnormal daytime sleep pattern, which is often confused with insomnia. When a person with
narcolepsy falls asleep or goes to bed they will generally experience the REM stage of sleep (rapid eye movement/dreaming state), within 10
minutes; whereas for most people, this shouldn't occur until generally 30 minutes of slumber.
Sleep is a naturally recurring state of relatively suspended sensory and motor activity, characterized by total or partial unconsciousness and the
inactivity of nearly all voluntary muscles.[1] It is distinguished from quiet wakefulness by a decreased ability to react to stimuli, and it is more easily
reversible than hibernation or coma. It is observed in all mammals, all birds, and many reptiles, amphibians, and fish. In humans, other mammals,
and a substantial majority of other animals that have been studied (such as some species of fish, birds, ants, and fruit flies), regular sleep is
essential for survival.
A drug, broadly speaking, is any substance that, when absorbed into the body of a living organism, alters normal bodily function.[3] There is no
single, precise definition, as there are different meanings in drug control law, government regulations, medicine, and colloquial usage.[4]
In pharmacology, a drug is "a chemical substance used in the treatment, cure, prevention, or diagnosis of disease or used to otherwise enhance
physical or mental well-being."[4] Drugs may be prescribed for a limited duration, or on a regular basis for chronic disorders.[5]
