Columbus er en by og administrasjonssenter i Lowndes County i østlige Mississippi, USA. Byen har 25 944 innbyggere (2000). Byen ligger på østbredden av Tombigbee River og er første gang nevnt i nedtegnelsene til Hernando de Soto, som krysset elva på jakt etter El Dorado. Den første handelsstasjonen ble etablert her i 1783.

Columbus har vært hjemby for Columbus Air Force Base (CAFB) siden andre verdenskrig. Basen var grunnlagt som et flygertreningssenter. I 1950- og 1960-årene var basen også Strategic Air Command (SAC), noe som gjorde at den var på lista over aktuelle mål for rakettangrep fra Sovjetunionen. Basen blir vurdert som den eneste av USAs fire treningssentre for flygere hvor det kan forventes bra forhold for flyging, likevel har den vært vurdert nedlagt.

Midt på 1900-tallet hadde Columbus en rekke industribedrifter for madrasser, møbler og tekstil, men også verdens største toalettseteprodusent. De fleste av disse var ikke lenger i drift ved årtusenskiftet, men i tilknytning til byens sivile flyplass, Golden Triangle Regional Airport, har American Eurocopter bygget et anlegg. Aurora Flight Sciences plenlegger også å etablere seg her.

Columbus er fødestedet for skuespillforfatteren Tennessee Williams, forfatter av Cat on a Hot Tin Roof and A Streetcar Named Desire. Hans barndomshjem er nå velkomstsenter for byen (300 Main St., Columbus).

Levend koken

De muntmeester van de 'jonker Batenburg' werd in 1434 in deze ketel te Deventer levend in kokende olie gekookt. Levend koken was een methode om de doodstraf te voltrekken. In het Europa van de late middeleeuwen werd de straf toegepast bij onder andere valsemunters. De veroordeelde werd letterlijk levend gekookt in een ketel gevuld met kokende olie of water. Bij 'verzachtende' omstandigheden werd hij eerst verdronken. In Deventer is nog een ketel te vinden waarin veroordeelden in het verleden ...

Cavitation (embryology)

After the process of cavitation occurs the blastocoel forms. Cavitation is a process in early embryonic development that follows cleavage. Cavitation is the formation of the blastocoel, a fluid-filled cavity that defines the blastula, or in mammals the blastocyst.[1] After fertilization, cell division of the zygote occurs which results in the formation of a solid ball of cells (blastomeres) called the morula. Further division of cells increases their number in the morula, and the moru...
