Boris Johnson said he is delivering on his pledge to cut Metropolitan Police cuts while maintaining a strong frontline serviceReuters

Sales of under-used police buildings across London such as old stations have raised £124.5m for the capital, tripling the original target.

In all 32 buildings were sold off in different London boroughs. Some have become schools, such as the Tahueedul Free School in a former Hackney police station, and others homes.

This sale has also generated £12.5m of annual savings for the Metropolitan Police from the cost of having to operate and maintain the buildings, enough to pay for more than 200 officers a year.

The London mayor's office said that since January 2012, around 700 residential units have been created on former police sites with more than half coming from building sales over the last year.

A further 2,500 homes will be spawned in the redevelopment of the Hendon Police Training Centre.

It was not immediately clear how many will be affordable. IBTimes UK is awaiting clarification from the mayor's office.

"I pledged to deliver savings from the police estate in the face of unprecedented budget pressures and without compromising on resourcing for frontline policing," said Boris Johnson, Mayor of London.

"As a direct benefit of shedding under-utilised sites, we are freeing up tens of millions of pounds to maintain police officer numbers and to generate savings to invest in the future.

"At the same time, buildings that were no longer fit for purpose are being released to provide much needed homes, schools and jobs in the capital."

Johnson claimed there would be around £330m of wider economic benefit from the sales because of the additional tax revenues and jobs created stemming from the redevelopments.

"We have made some tough choices in order to reduce the costs of policing London but those decisions are allowing us to transform the Met and make it fit for the 21st century," said Sir Bernard Hogan-Howe, commissioner of the Met Police.

"It has not been easy but we have succeeded at maintaining officers numbers at a high level, cutting crime year on year and improving the quality of the service we deliver to victims.

"The money we have raised from the sale these outdated and unsuitable building and the reduced running costs possible from a smaller, more modern estate are allowing us to become the kind of efficient and effective police force that London truly deserves."

Lesson: Real Estate Sales and London Policing

Introduction:
In this lesson, we will learn about the sale of under-used police buildings in London and how it has impacted policing in the city. We will explore the benefits of these sales, the challenges faced, and how the money raised has been used to support policing.

Section 1: Background Information
- The Metropolitan Police is the primary law enforcement agency in London, responsible for keeping the city safe.
- The Metropolitan Police has faced significant budget pressures in recent years, which has led to a need to find ways to save money.
- One way the Metropolitan Police has sought to save money is by selling off under-used police buildings.

Section 2: Benefits of the Sales
- The sale of under-used police buildings has raised £124.5m for the capital, which is three times the original target.
- This money has been used to fund more than 200 officers a year.
- The sales have also generated £12.5m of annual savings from the cost of operating and maintaining the buildings.
- These savings have allowed the Metropolitan Police to focus its resources on other areas, such as frontline policing.

Section 3: Challenges Faced
- One challenge faced by the Metropolitan Police was finding suitable buyers for the buildings.
- Another challenge was ensuring that the sale of the buildings did not compromise the safety of the city.
- There was also a need to ensure that the sale of the buildings did not negatively impact the community in any way.

Section 4: Redevelopment of Hendon Police Training Centre
- The Hendon Police Training Centre is being redeveloped, and it is expected that this will create an additional 2,500 homes.
- It is not yet clear how many of these homes will be affordable.
- This redevelopment is expected to have a significant impact on the local community.

Section 5: Critical Thinking Questions
- How can the Metropolitan Police ensure that the sale of under-used police buildings does not negatively impact the community?
- What factors should be considered when deciding whether or not to sell a police building?
- How can the Metropolitan Police ensure that the money raised from the sales is used effectively to support policing in London?

San Francisco-based director Bradley Munkowitz produced this striking visual journey for Eric Prydz’s song “Generate”.. “The word ‘Generate’ is synonymous with one powerful idea: Energy. Inherent in the word’s meaning is the concept of production – to generate is to create, to provoke, to spark. To give life to something where there was nothing. It’s the quiet pulse of a single soundwave building upon itself until it becomes a giant wall of resonance; or a single pinprick of light getting brighter and brighter until it blooms in a blinding, all-encompassing glow.. This film is a surreal journey of generative transformation through light and sound. As the song builds upon itself, gathering steam as it progresses and becoming more and more highly charged, so too do the visuals build, playing the edge of perception, illumination, and the life-force energy of the music’s throbbing pulse.”.

Lesson: Understanding Cannabis Strains

Introduction:
Cannabis strains are types of cannabis plants that have been bred to produce specific traits, such as taste, smell, and effect. In this lesson, we will learn about the different types of cannabis strains, their characteristics, and how they can be used.

Section 1: Types of Cannabis Strains
There are three main types of cannabis strains: sativa, indica, and hybrid.

1. Sativa: Sativa strains are known for their uplifting and energizing effects. They tend to have a lighter, more airy high that can be great for creativity, socializing, or daytime use. Sativa strains also tend to have a sweet, citrusy flavor.

2. Indica: Indica strains are known for their relaxing and sedative effects. They tend to have a heavier, more body-focused high that can be great for pain relief, stress relief, or sleep aid. Indica strains also tend to have a earthy, pungent flavor.

3. Hybrid: Hybrid strains are a mix of sativa and indica strains. They can have a combination of the effects of both sativa and indica strains, depending on the specific genetics of the plant. Hybrid strains come in many different flavors and effects, so it's important to try different ones to find the right one for you.

Section 2: Characteristics of Cannabis Strains
Different cannabis strains have different characteristics that can affect their use. Some of these characteristics include:

1. THC content: THC (tetrahydrocannabinol) is the psychoactive compound in cannabis that causes the high. Some strains have higher THC content than others, which can affect the strength of the high.

2. CBD content: CBD (cannabidiol) is another compound in cannabis that has many medicinal benefits. Some strains have higher CBD content than others, which can make them more effective for medical use.

3. Terpene content: Terpenes are the aromatic compounds in cannabis that give each strain its unique flavor and aroma. Different strains have different terpene profiles, which can affect their taste and smell.

Section 3: Using Cannabis Strains
Cannabis strains can be used in many different ways, including:

1. Smoking: The most common way to use cannabis is to smoke it. This can be done with a joint, bong, pipe, or vaporizer.

2. Edibles: Cannabis can also be eaten in edible form, such as cookies, brownies, or candies. Edibles take longer to kick in than smoking, but the effects can last much longer too.

3. Topicals: Cannabis can also be applied topically, such as in lotions, creams, or ointments. This is great for localized pain or inflammation.

Conclusion:
In conclusion, understanding the different types of cannabis strains, their characteristics, and how they can be used is important for anyone interested in cannabis. By learning about the different strains, you can find the one that works best for your needs and preferences. Remember, always start with a low dose and go slow when trying a new strain to avoid any unpleasant side effects.

Stabilization of solid dispersions of nimodipine and polyethylene glycol 2000.
Previous investigations revealed that solid dispersions consisting of 20% (m/m) nimodipine and 80% (m/m) polyethylene glycol 2000 prepared by the melting method, represent supersaturated solid solutions of nimodipine recrystallizing upon storage at +25 degrees C. The objective of this study was the improvement of the storage stability by preventing recrystallization. The first approach in order to prevent recrystallization was the development of thermodynamically stable solid solutions by using solvents aiming to enhance the solubility of nimodipine in the carrier material. As potential solubility enhancing additives, polyethylene glycol 300, poly(ethylene/propylene glycol) copolymer, polypropylene glycol 1020, propylene glycol, glycerol and ethyl acetate were evaluated. The second approach enhancing storage stability was the addition of recrystallization inhibitors to supersaturated solid solutions, thereby delaying the transformation of the metastable supersaturated system to the thermodynamically stable state. Macrogol cetostearyl ether, macrogol glycerol monostearate, polysorbate 60, cetostearyl alcohol, glycerol monostearate and sodium lauryl sulphate as well as hydroxypropylcellulose, butylmethacrylat-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)methacrylat-methylmethacrylat-copolymer, polyacrylic acid, polyvinyl alcohol and povidone K17 were included in the study. It could be shown that povidone K17 effectively prevents recrystallization in solid solutions containing 20% (m/m) of nimodipine during storage at +25 degrees C over silica gel thereby ensuring a substantial increase in the dissolution rate and degree of supersaturation in water. On the contrary, stabilization by solubility enhancement was only successful at drug loadings not exceeding 1% (m/m) using polyethylene glycol 300 as solubility enhancing additive.

Lesson Title: Stabilization of Solid Dispersions

Introduction:
Solid dispersions are a widely used technique in the pharmaceutical industry to improve the dissolution rate and bioavailability of poorly soluble drugs. Nimodipine is an antihypertensive drug with poor solubility, which makes it challenging to achieve optimal therapeutic effects. In this lesson, we will learn about the stabilization of solid dispersions of nimodipine and polyethylene glycol 2000, including the use of solvents and recrystallization inhibitors to prevent recrystallization and improve storage stability.

Section 1: Theoretical Concepts

1.1. Supersaturated Solutions
A supersaturated solution is a solution that has more solute particles than the equilibrium state can accommodate. In the case of solid dispersions, this means that the nimodipine particles are in a state where they should not be stable but are held in suspension due to the presence of the polyethylene glycol 2000.

1.2. Recrystallization
Recrystallization is the process by which solid particles grow and form larger crystals. In the context of solid dispersions, recrystallization occurs when the nimodipine particles begin to separate from the polyethylene glycol 2000 and form larger crystals, reducing the overall dissolution rate of the drug.

1.3. Solubility Enhancing Additives
Solubility enhancing additives are substances that increase the solubility of a drug in the carrier material. They can be used to improve the stability of solid dispersions by preventing recrystallization.

Section 2: Practical Examples

2.1. Evaluation of Solubility Enhancing Additives
To evaluate the effectiveness of various solubility enhancing additives, solid dispersions containing different concentrations of each additive were prepared and stored at +25°C. The stability of these dispersions was then assessed by monitoring the degree of recrystallization over time using various analytical techniques such as X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry.

2.2. Addition of Recrystallization Inhibitors
In another approach to improve storage stability, recrystallization inhibitors were added to supersaturated solid solutions of nimodipine. These inhibitors slow down the transformation of the metastable supersaturated system to the thermodynamically stable state, thereby delaying recrystallization.

Section 3: Self-Debating Discussions

3.1. Why is recrystallization undesirable in solid dispersions?
Recrystallization can lead to a reduction in the overall dissolution rate of the drug, which may result in suboptimal therapeutic effects. Additionally, recrystallization can cause changes in the physical properties of the solid dispersion, such as particle size and morphology, which can affect the drug's release profile and bioavailability.

3.2. How do solubility enhancing additives work?
Solubility enhancing additives work by increasing the solubility of the drug in the carrier material, which helps to prevent recrystallization. They can do this by forming complexes with the drug, increasing the drug's solubility in the carrier material, or by disrupting the recrystallization process.

3.3. What are some common recrystallization inhibitors?
Some common recrystallization inhibitors include polymers, surfactants, and chelating agents. These substances can slow down the transformation of the supersaturated system to the thermodynamically stable state, thereby delaying recrystallization.

Conclusion:
In this lesson, we have learned about the stabilization of solid dispersions of nimodipine and polyethylene glycol 2000, including the use of solvents and recrystallization inhibitors to prevent recrystallization and improve storage stability. By understanding the theoretical concepts and applying them to practical examples, we can develop effective strategies for improving the stability of solid dispersions and ensuring optimal therapeutic effects for patients.

Lesson: How to Read and Understand Text

## Section 1: Introduction
In this lesson, we will learn how to read and understand text. We will start by learning about the different types of texts and how to identify them. Then, we will learn how to analyze the structure of a text and identify the main ideas. Finally, we will learn how to summarize a text and retell it in our own words.

## Section 2: Types of Texts
There are four main types of texts: narrative, informational, persuasive, and functional. Narrative texts tell stories, while informational texts provide information on a topic. Persuasive texts try to convince the reader of something, and functional texts serve a specific purpose, such as instructions or advertisements.

To identify the type of text you are reading, look at the language and structure of the text. For example, narrative texts often have characters, setting, and plot, while informational texts may have headings, subheadings, and bullet points.

## Section 3: Analyzing Structure
Once you have identified the type of text, you can begin to analyze its structure. Look at the organization of the text, including the order of sentences and paragraphs. Identify the main ideas by looking for headings, bolded text, or any other indicators of importance.

To summarize a text, retell its main ideas in your own words. Be sure to include the most important details and avoid plagiarism by putting the summary in your own words.

## Section 4: Self-Debate Discussion
Why is it important to understand the type of text you are reading? How does understanding the structure of a text help you comprehend it better? What are some strategies for summarizing a text effectively?

## Glossary
- Text: A written or printed work.
- Narrative: A story that tells about events and experiences.
- Informational: Provides information on a topic.
- Persuasive: Seeks to convince the reader of something.
- Functional: Serves a specific purpose, such as instructions or advertisements.

Stunning Photos From China's Creepiest Modern Ghost Town

Welcome to the most ironically-named city in China. A would-be utopia, rapidly constructed for a population of one million (that failed to materialize), the futuristic city of Ordos, which takes its name from ordo, the Mongolian word for crowd and the root for the English word 'horde', has been almost totally abandoned. The stunning landscape left behind in the following images is both disturbing and confirming of China's epic mal-investment boom...

The images, taken by Shanghai-based photographer Raphael Olivier and shared at Creative Boom, depict a strange modern ghost town. The city, in the Inner Mongolia region, was constructed under the old "if you build it, they will come" motto, but the teeming masses have never made their way to Ordos.

The city includes dormant schools, sports complexes, hospitals, convention centers, and other major facilities, all completed between 2005 and 2010. The Chinese building boom has seen many new cities become overnight metropolises, but Ordos City failed to replicate that success.

"The city is now a surreal landscape of empty streets, decaying monuments, abandoned buildings and half-finished housing projects,"writes Olivier. "It is more than anywhere the symbol of the Chinese Dream with all its challenges and contradictions, an Orwellian vision of a bright future caught up by a less flamboyant reality."

The city's most fantastical structures include the Ordos Museum, designed by China's MAD Archictects, which resembles a tiled metal blob overlooking the Gobi Desert.

Like the rest of the city, the museum was apparently built without much forethought: "As for the gallery spaces, we didn't know what kind of exhibitions they would hold, so they are designed to be flexible," the architecture firm told ArchDaily.

"This plaza is now a favorite amongst the locals who gather their families and friends to explore, play or lounge in the pleasant landscape," wrote de zeen magazine upon Ordos's completion in 2011, in a rather premature judgment.

Based on reports from intrepid photojournalists and travelers, including the Bohemian Blog, the city's residents (reportedly just 20,000 souls, or two percent of the total capacity) largely consist of construction crews, maintenance workers, and random employees.

Lesson: The Rise and Fall of Ordos, China's Modern Ghost Town

Introduction:
Ordos, China is an example of a modern ghost town that was built with the intention of becoming a utopia for a population of one million people. However, due to various factors such as economic downturns and lack of interest from potential residents, the city remains mostly empty. In this lesson, we will explore the reasons behind the rise and fall of Ordos, and analyze the factors that contributed to its current state.

Section 1: The Background of Ordos

Ordos is located in the Inner Mongolia region of China, and it was initially developed as a coal mining town during the 1960s. However, it was not until the 21st century that the city experienced rapid development, thanks to its abundance of natural resources such as coal and iron ore.

The city was envisioned as a model for sustainable urbanization, with eco-friendly buildings and efficient infrastructure. It was also intended to serve as a hub for commerce and trade in the region.

Section 2: The Rise of Ordos

During the early 2000s, Ordos experienced rapid growth due to the Chinese government's investment in the city. The government aimed to create a modern metropolis that would attract businesses and residents from all over the world.

As a result, numerous luxury apartments, shopping malls, and office buildings were constructed in the city. Ordos also became home to several world-class sports facilities, including a golf course designed by Jack Nicklaus.

Section 3: The Fall of Ordos

Despite the initial excitement and investment in Ordos, the city's population never reached the expected one million people. Instead, it remained mostly empty, with many of its luxury apartments standing vacant.

Several factors contributed to the fall of Ordos, including:

1. Economic Downturns: As the Chinese economy experienced downturns in the late 2000s, fewer people were interested in moving to Ordos. Additionally, the decline in demand for coal and iron ore, which were the city's main sources of revenue, further impacted the city's economy.

2. Lack of Interest from Potential Residents: Ordos was marketed as a utopia, with promises of excellent job opportunities and a high quality of life. However, many potential residents were not interested in moving to a city that was mostly empty and lacked a strong sense of community.

3. Inefficient Infrastructure: Despite the investment in luxury buildings and facilities, Ordos' infrastructure was not well-planned. The city's transportation system was inadequate, making it difficult for residents to get around. Additionally, the city's utilities were not up to par, leading to frequent power outages and water shortages.

Section 4: Conclusion

Ordos serves as an example of how even the best-laid plans can go awry. The city's rapid development and subsequent decline can be attributed to several factors, including economic downturns and a lack of interest from potential residents. While the city's infrastructure was initially designed to be sustainable, it ultimately failed to meet the needs of its residents.

In conclusion, the rise and fall of Ordos serves as a cautionary tale for urban planners and policymakers. It demonstrates the importance of careful planning and consideration of all factors when developing a city. By learning from the mistakes made in Ordos, future urban developments can be more successful and sustainable.

Glossary:
- Utopia: An imagined place or state of things in its ideal form or perfection
- Mal-investment: Investment that does not result in productive or efficient use of resources
- Eco-friendly: Actions or products that do not harm the environment
- Sustainable: Capable of being sustained or maintained

Self-Debating Discussion:
What factors do you think contributed to the decline of Ordos? How could the city have been developed more sustainably?

Lesson: Understanding Vaccines and their Effects

Introduction:
Vaccines are one of the most significant medical advancements in history. They have saved countless lives by preventing the spread of infectious diseases. In this lesson, we will learn about vaccines, their types, and their effects.

Section 1: What is a vaccine?

A vaccine is a substance that is introduced into the body to stimulate the immune system to produce immunity to a specific disease. It usually contains a weakened or killed form of the virus or bacteria that causes the disease.

Section 2: Types of vaccines

There are several types of vaccines, including:

1. Live attenuated vaccines - These vaccines contain a weakened form of the virus or bacteria that can still replicate but is not dangerous.

2. Inactivated vaccines - These vaccines contain viruses or bacteria that have been killed, so they cannot replicate or cause disease.

3. Subunit, recombinant, or conjugate vaccines - These vaccines contain specific parts of the virus or bacteria that trigger an immune response.

4. Messenger RNA (mRNA) vaccines - These vaccines use a small piece of genetic material (mRNA) from the virus to instruct cells to produce a protein that triggers an immune response.

Section 3: How do vaccines work?

When a vaccine is introduced into the body, the immune system recognizes the foreign substance and mounts an immune response. This response involves the production of antibodies, which are proteins that can recognize and neutralize the virus or bacteria. Once the immune system has produced these antibodies, it can remember how to make them quickly if the person is exposed to the same virus or bacteria again. This is called immunological memory.

Section 4: The effects of vaccines

Vaccines are generally safe and effective. Most people experience minor side effects, such as soreness at the injection site or a low-grade fever. These side effects are a sign that the immune system is doing its job and responding to the vaccine. In rare cases, some people may have severe allergic reactions to vaccines. However, these reactions are treatable, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

Section 5: Practical Examples

Let's consider two examples:

1. Measles, Mumps, and Rubella (MMR) Vaccine: The MMR vaccine protects against three serious viral illnesses - measles, mumps, and rubella. These diseases can cause severe complications, including brain swelling, deafness, and birth defects. The MMR vaccine is highly effective, and the benefits of vaccination far outweigh the risks.

2. Hepatitis A Vaccine: Hepatitis A is a viral liver disease that can cause mild to severe illness. The hepatitis A vaccine is highly effective and can prevent the disease. It is recommended for people traveling to certain countries and for those at high risk of exposure to the virus.

Conclusion:

In this lesson, we have learned about vaccines, their types, and their effects. We have also seen practical examples of how vaccines work and their importance in preventing diseases. Vaccines are a powerful tool in promoting public health, and understanding their mechanisms and benefits is crucial in making informed decisions about our health.

Lesson: Introduction to French Horn
## Section 1: Theoretical Concepts
The French horn is a brass instrument that belongs to the group of instruments known as "double reed" instruments. It has a conical bore and produces sound by vibrating a reed attached to the mouthpiece. The player buzzes their lips into the mouthpiece to create sound, which is then amplified by the horn's shape and length.
## Section 2: Practical Examples
One practical example of how the French horn works is when a musician plays a note on the instrument. When they blow into the mouthpiece, they create a vibration that causes the reed to vibrate as well. This vibration travels down the length of the tube and creates sound waves that resonate within the horn. The player can change the pitch of the note by adjusting their lip tension or using the trill keys located on the instrument.
## Section 3: Real-World Scenarios
Real-world scenarios where the French horn is used include orchestras, bands, and ensembles. In an orchestra, the French horn often plays solos or accompanies other instruments. In a band, the French horn may play melodies or harmonize with other brass instruments. In an ensemble, the French horn may play counter-melodies or add texture to the overall sound.
## Section 4: Self-Debating Discussions
One self-debating discussion question could be: "What are some challenges that come with playing the French horn, and how can they be overcome?" Some challenges may include intonation issues or difficulty with range. To overcome these challenges, players may need to practice regularly, focus on proper breathing techniques, and study music theory to understand how to read and interpret sheet music.
## Glossary
- French horn: A brass instrument with a conical bore and a flared bell, played by buzzing the lips into the mouthpiece and producing sound by vibrating a reed.
- Reed: A thin strip of material that vibrates to produce sound when blown into by the player.
- Conical bore: A tube that widens gradually towards the bell, which affects the sound produced by the instrument.
- Intonation: The accuracy of pitch when playing a note on an instrument.
- Range: The distance between the lowest and highest notes an instrument can produce.
## Conclusion
In conclusion, the French horn is a versatile instrument that can be used in various musical settings. By understanding its theoretical concepts, practicing its techniques, and applying its real-world scenarios, players can develop a deep appreciation for this beautiful instrument and its role in creating music.

Sure, Russia remains a homophobic, human-rights nightmare ... but do Americans get a day off work to screw around?

Russia is celebrating its eighth annual ‘day of conception,' where employees are urged to take the day off to have procreative sex. The strange celebration is "part of a gesture to increase Russia’s struggling birth rate," The Independent explains.

In past years, prizes — mainly Jeeps — have been given to couples who give birth exactly nine months from conception day. The unofficial holiday is mainly observed in Russia's eastern region of Ulyanovsk (birthplace of Lenin), where the Governor has been pushing employers to recognize the scheme as a legitimate reason to miss work.

Nothing about this makes any sense to me, logistically. Why can't Russian couples just have sex at night, like normal working people the world over? And considering the fact that the average sex lasts about five to seven minutes, isn't a whole day for getting busy a little excessive?

Obviously, the idea is more symbolic than practicality-based. Like in many industrialized countries, Russians are dying quicker than they're being born, prompting quite a social/political panic over women whose uteri stay empty.

Although Russia seems to be the only country with a take-off-work-for-sex day, many countries have launched their own versions of fertility campaigns. In 2010, the South Korean government designated the third Wednesday of every month “Family Day" and closed down offices at 7 PM.

Most bizarre campaign probably goes to Singapore, where a song produced by Mentos mints in 2012 urged citizens to "do their civic duty" and make love for Singapore. The smooth jam features a woman sexily crooning "It's National Night..." while a male voice raps things like "The birthrate won't spike itself."

text: Home News. Kerry Constabile, who leads work on cities and regions for United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon’s climate-change team, says that London has “one of the most advanced climate-adaptation plans in the world,”.. Ten years ago, the Transport for London introduced a programme for the installation of white panels atop the capital’s trademark red buses in the framework of further climate-adaptation plans. More specifically, white panels reflect the rays of the summer sun, thus keeping the vehicles cooler. After 10 years, 98.5 percent of the fleet of 8,700 has white roofs, thus improving the overall conditions for passengers and drivers as well as reducing fuel consumption for air conditioning systems.. Finally, Simon Hughes, deputy director for London at the Environment Agency claims that “Climate change is absolutely at the heart of what we do. We’ve got in place continual monitoring of key metrics of climate change to make sure we’re not sleepwalking into danger.”. Read more

Q:

What are the "tentacles" coming out of people's heads?

In the alternate world (which almost the entirety of the show takes place in) of Super Dimension Century Orguss, everyone has 2 "tentacles" that come out of their heads. Aside from the occasional using them to move objects or press buttons, what's their purpose?

A:

After Kei comes to, he finds out that the Earth he knows has been fractured into many different realities, a majority of the  of the planet being controlled by 3 main powers: the Emaan, the Terram, and the Mu.
The Emaan are nearly identical to humans, except for prehensile antenna-like tendrils that come out from the backs of their necks. Emaan males have one, while females have two. They seems to respond and move based on the emotions of the host (like cat ears or dog tails). These tendrils don't exert enough power to actually be able to move or lift heavy objects, so it's assumed that to be some evolutionary artifact. It's mentioned that in the series Emaan acting as spies in Terram have these surgically removed.
The Terram are probably closely related to the humans of Kei's world. The Mu are a robotic race, they were created to serve their creator, but later turned on them and wiped them out.

Lesson: The Purpose of Tentacles in Super Dimension Century Orguss

## Introduction

In the anime series "Super Dimension Century Orguss," characters have tentacles coming out of their heads. This may seem strange or unusual, but in the context of the show, these tentacles serve a purpose. In this lesson, we will explore the purpose of these tentacles and discuss how they are used in the series.

## Main Topic

### The Purpose of Tentacles in Super Dimension Century Orguss

In the alternate world of "Super Dimension Century Orguss," everyone has two tentacles that come out of their heads. These tentacles are not just for decoration; they serve a practical purpose as well.

The tentacles are used for various tasks such as moving objects or pressing buttons. However, their primary purpose is to help the characters sense their surroundings and communicate with each other telepathically. The tentacles allow the characters to feel the emotions and thoughts of others, which is crucial in a world where reality is fragmented into multiple dimensions.

## Subtopics

### Telepathy and Emotional Sensitivity

Telepathy is the ability to communicate with others through thought transmission. In "Super Dimension Century Orguss," the tentacles play a crucial role in enabling characters to sense and transmit emotions. This emotional sensitivity allows them to understand the feelings of others and form connections that would not be possible otherwise.

### The Importance of Telepathy in a Fragmented Reality

In the world of "Super Dimension Century Orguss," reality is fractured into multiple dimensions. Telepathy becomes essential for navigating these fragmented realities, as it allows characters to communicate across dimensions and understand the emotions and intentions of others. Without telepathy, characters would be unable to form connections and alliances necessary for survival in this complex world.

### The Evolution of Tentacles in the Series

As the series progresses, the tentacles become more significant and evolve in various ways. Some characters develop more powerful tentacles that can move objects much heavier than before. Others discover new abilities, such as the ability to create shields or manipulate energy. These evolutions showcase the importance of the tentacles in the development of the characters and the plot.

## Conclusion

In conclusion, the tentacles in "Super Dimension Century Orguss" serve a vital purpose in the series. They enable characters to communicate telepathically and sense the emotions of others, which is crucial in a world fragmented into multiple dimensions. The evolution of the tentacles throughout the series highlights their significance in the development of the characters and the plot. By understanding the purpose of these tentacles, we can appreciate the complexity and richness of the world of "Super Dimension Century Orguss."
