It is a footbridge that connects the "quai de New York" to the "quai Branly", close to the Eiffel Tower. In order to accommodate visitor traffic to the 1900 World's Fair across the Seine, the General Commissioner of the Exposition, Alfred Picard, approved the construction of a provisional footbridge opposite the Avenue Albert de Mun, to join the Army and Navy Halls to the exhibit recreating old Paris. Its architect, Jean Résal, also designed the Pont Alexandre III and the Viaduc d'Austerlitz.

It was initially called "passerelle de l'Exposition Militaire" or "passerelle de Magdebourg", only later "passerelle Debilly", after General Jean Louis Debilly of the French First Empire who was killed in the Battle of Jena in 1806. The bridge became a permanent fixture from its original provisional status under the management of the City of Paris in 1906 after it was relocated opposite to the "rue de la Manutention". The footbridge is built on a metallic framework resting on two stone piers at the riverbanks, and decorated with dark green

As a contemporary of the Pont Alexandre III and the Austerlitz Viaduct, the Passerelle Debilly was eventually included in the supplementary registry of historical monuments in 1966. The bridge was repainted in 1991 and its cladding resurfaced with

It is certainly one of the reasons that pushed Brian De Palma to shoot a scene of his thriller "Femme Fatale" on that footbridge in 2002.

Scandinavia was however also a recruiting area for attacks against England and this is why a defence needed to be organized by the Danish king Cnut the Great. The Thingmen attracted Swedish mercenaries, and probably some Norwegian as well. In 1012 King Æthelred the Unready of England ended several years of devastating attacks by a Danish army led by Thorkell the Tall by making a huge payment of Danegeld. Most of the raiders dispersed, but Thorkell himself entered English service with 45 ships and their crews. This force, based at Greenwich, was

In 1574, Sultan Selim II ordered the Kadi of A‘azāz in Syria to send him 50,000 tulip bulbs. However, Harvey points out several problems with this source, and there is also the possibility that tulips and hyacinth ("sümbüll"), originally Indian spikenard ("Nardostachys jatamansi") have been confused. Sultan Selim also imported 300,000 bulbs of "Kefe Lale" (also known as Cafe-Lale, from the medieval name Kaffa, probably "Tulipa schrenkii") from the port of Kefe in Crimea, for his

"Tulipa schrenkii" is very narrowly related in "Tulipa gesneriana", and sometimes classified in the same species. When the tulip originally arrived in Europe from the Ottoman Empire, its popularity soared and it quickly became a status symbol for the newly wealthy merchants of the Dutch Golden Age. As a mosaic virus began to infect bulbs, producing rare and spectacular effects in the bloom but weakening and destroying the already limited number of bulbs, a speculative frenzy now known as tulip mania was triggered

Bulbs were exchanged for land, livestock, and houses, and the Dutch created futures markets where contracts to buy bulbs at the end of the season were bought and sold. A single bulb, the "Semper Augustus", fetched 6,000 florins in Haarlem — at that time, a florin could purchase a bushel of wheat. The flower and bulb can cause dermatitis through the allergen, tuliposide A, even though the bulbs may be consumed with little ill effect. The sweet-scented bisexual flowers appear during April and May. Bulbs are extremely resistant to frost and can tolerate temperatures well below

title: "Classification of manifolds" content: there are 8 such geometries. This is a recent result, and quite difficult. The proof (the Solution of the Poincaré conjecture) is analytic, not topological. While the classification of surfaces is classical, maps of surfaces is an active area; see below. Four-dimensional manifolds are the most unusual: they are not geometrizable (as in lower dimensions), and surgery works topologically, but not differentiably. Since "topologically", 4-manifolds are classified by surgery, the differentiable classification question is phrased in terms of "differentiable structures": "which (topological) 4-manifolds admit a differentiable structure, and on those that do, how many differentiable structures are there?" Four-manifolds often

title: P2RX7 content: receptors only with a typical P2X receptor structure. The P2X receptor is a ligand-gated cation channel that opens in response to ATP binding and leads to cell depolarization. The P2X receptor requires higher levels of ATP than other P2X receptors; however, the response can be potentiated by reducing the concentration of divalent cations such as calcium or magnesium. Continued binding leads to increased permeability to N-methyl-D-glucamine (NMDG). P2X receptors do not become desensitized readily and continued signaling leads to the aforementioned increased permeability and an increase in current amplitude. P2X receptors respond to BzATP more readily than ATP. ADP and

An invasive species native to Eurasia and North Africa, it has naturalized in the United States and most of Canada since its introduction. It has been declared a noxious weed by the state of Colorado. "Verbascum blattaria" is more commonly referred to as the moth mullein, so named because of the resemblance of its flowers' stamen to a moth’s antennae. This is not to be confused with the more popular and widely known common mullein ("V. thapsus"), a close relative of "V.


title: "Verbascum blattaria" content: blattaria". The moth mullein is a biennial plant. In its first year of growth, its leaves develop as a basal rosette. During this first year, the stem of the plant remains extremely short. The leaves of the rosette are oblanceolate with deeply toothed edges and are attached to the stem by short petioles. The rosette can grow to a diameter of 16 in (40 cm) during this first year, with each individual leaf reaching a length up to 8 in. The mullein forms a fibrous root system with a deep taproot. In the second year of growth, the stem of
