Les ouragans, typhons et autres cyclones tropicaux sont essentiellement formés par l'organisation d'orages autour d'une circulation qui prend forme dans les océans de la zone intertropicale. Structurellement, un cyclone tropical est une large zone de nuages en rotation, de vent, et d'orages. La source d'énergie principale d'un cyclone tropical est le dégagement de chaleur latente causé par la condensation de vapeur d'eau en altitude. On peut ainsi considérer le cyclone tropical comme une machine thermique, au sens de la thermodynamique.
L'importance de la condensation comme source principale d'énergie différencie les cyclones tropicaux des autres phénomènes météorologiques. Pour conserver la source d'énergie de sa machine thermodynamique, un cyclone tropical doit demeurer au-dessus de l'eau chaude, qui lui apporte l'humidité atmosphérique nécessaire. Les forts vents et la pression atmosphérique réduite au sein du cyclone stimulent l'évaporation, ce qui entretient le phénomène.
Le dégagement de chaleur latente dans les niveaux supérieurs de la tempête élève la température à l'intérieur du cyclone de 15 à 20°C au-dessus de la température ambiante dans la troposphère à l'extérieur du cyclone. Pour cette raison, on dit des cyclones tropicaux qu'ils sont des tempêtes à « noyau chaud ». Notons toutefois que ce noyau chaud n'est présent qu'en altitude - la zone touchée par le cyclone à la surface est habituellement plus froide de quelques degrés par rapport à la normale, en raison des nuages et de la précipitation.
Les effets les plus dévastateurs des cyclones tropicaux se produisent quand ils frappent la côte et entrent dans les terres. Dans ce cas, un cyclone tropical peut causer des dommages de quatre façons :
Vents violents : des vents de force d'ouragan peuvent endommager ou détruire des véhicules, des bâtiments, des ponts, etc. Les vents forts peuvent aussi transformer des débris en projectiles, ce qui rend l'environnement extérieur encore plus dangereux.
Onde de tempête : les tempêtes de vent, y compris les cyclones tropicaux, peuvent causer une montée du niveau de la mer et des inondations dans les zones côtières.
Pluie forte : les orages et les fortes pluies provoquent la formation de torrents, lavant les routes et provoquant des glissements de terrain. Fin novembre 2004, l'un de ces épisodes pluvieux a touché le nord des Philippines et fait quelque 500 morts et disparus.
Tornades : les orages imbriqués dans le cyclone donnent souvent naissance à des tornades. Bien que ces tornades soient normalement moins intenses que celles d'origine non-tropicale, elles peuvent encore provoquer d'immenses dommages.

Tempête
Une tempête est un type de condition météorologique violente à large échelle dite synoptique, caractérisée par des vents rapides (tourbillon) et des précipitations intenses. Elle peut être accompagnée d'orages donnant des éclairs et du tonnerre ainsi que de la grêle et des tornades. Certaines tempêtes ont un nom particulier comme les typhons, les ouragans, les tempêtes tropicales ou extra-tropicales, les tempêtes de verglas ou de neige. Il existe également des tempêtes caractérisées par des vents transportant des substances dans l'atmosphère (blizzard, tempête de poussière, tempête de sable, tempête de neige…). Une tempête peut endommager gravement un pays ou une région donnée.
Au strict sens météorologique du terme, une tempête est définie par un vent d'une force 10 ou supérieure sur l'échelle de Beaufort, ce qui signifie une vitesse de vent d'au moins 90 km/h. Toutefois, l'usage populaire du mot n'est pas si restrictif.

Formation
Le terme tempête météorologique est un terme générique qui peut décrite plusieurs phénomène. Tous ceux-ci sont cependant liés à la formation d'un cyclone ou dépression. On note deux types principaux de dépressions: les cyclones tropicaux, dont l'énergie est tirée de l'instabilité de la masse d'air qui les entourent, et les cyclones extratropicaux dont le moteur est la rencontre de masses d'air de différentes températures.

Teacher
A teacher is someone acknowledged as a guide or helper in processes of learning. Teaching is manifest in all things living; from the most basic transitions of form and matter via an organizing aggregator which imply some sort of meaningmaking & meaningful relation inhabited by the current who is involved in the learning process and its umwelt.[citation needed] A teacher also learns from his or her students.[citation needed] A teacher is consequently an eventual progenitor (or possibly epigenitor) of situations involving the experience of teaching.
Systematized ways of teaching is a core phenomena in all culture, and is synonymous with cultivation in all cultures. All human cultures seem to develop basic concepts and teaching practices of virtue.[dubious – discuss] Whether virtue here is understood as in craftsmanship, in spiritual practices, or in regard of the virtues involved in becoming a responsible community member, or simply skillful in the art of living and respectful in the art of dying.[citation needed]
Those who become looked upon as helpful for the whole of a community in regard of an evolution inherent in all ways of teaching are looked upon as teachers for those cultures.
In modern schools and most contemporary occidental societies, where scientific pedagogy is practiced, the teacher is defined as a specialized profession on the same level as many other professions. The teacher is herein performing a professional role which is possible and required of the professional teacher to take off when not in his or her professional context; or if moving further to other jobs in the market of work opportunities.

Sushi
This article is about Japanese cuisine. For other uses, see Sushi (disambiguation).
Different types of sushi ready to be eaten.
In Japanese cuisine, sushi (寿司, 鮨, 鮓, sushi?) is a food made of vinegared rice, usually topped with other ingredients including fish (cooked or uncooked) and vegetables. Sushi as an English word has come to refer to a complete dish with rice and toppings; this is the sense used in this article. The original word Japanese: 寿司 sushi, written in kanji, means "snack" and refers to the rice, but not fish or other toppings.[1] Outside of Japan, sushi is sometimes misunderstood to mean the raw fish by itself, or even any fresh raw-seafood dishes [2]. In Japan, sliced raw fish alone is called sashimi and is distinct from sushi.
There are various types of sushi: sushi served rolled inside nori (dried and pressed layer sheets of seaweed or alga) called makizushi (巻き) or rolls; sushi made with toppings laid with hand-formed clumps of rice called nigirizushi (にぎり); toppings stuffed into a small pouch of fried tofu called inarizushi; and toppings served scattered over a bowl of sushi rice called chirashi-zushi (ちらし).

Apple
The apple is the pomaceous fruit of the apple tree, species Malus domestica in the rose family Rosaceae. It is one of the most widely cultivated tree fruits. The tree is small and deciduous, reaching 5-12 m tall, with a broad, often densely twiggy crown.
The leaves are alternately arranged simple ovals 5-12 cm long and 3-6 cm broad on a 2-5 cm petiole with an acute tip, serrated margin and a slightly downy underside. Flowers are produced in springsimultaneous with the budding of the leaves.
The flowers are white with a pink tinge that gradually fades, five petaled, 2.5-3.5 cm in diameter. The fruit matures in autumn, and is typically 5-9 cm diameter. The centre of the fruit contains five carpels arranged in a five-point star, each carpel containing one to three seeds.

Winnie-the-Pooh "Pooh" redirects
First appearance
Winnie-The-Pooh (1926)
Created by
A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard
Voiced by
Pinto Colvig, Sterling Holloway (1966 - 1979)Hal Smith (1980 - 1988)Jim Cummings (1988 - Current)
Also known as
Pooh, Pooh Bear, Winnie, Edward Bear, Silly Old Bear, Bear Of Very Little Brain
Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a bear created by A. A. Milne. The character first appeared in the children books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children’s poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.
The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Bestseller List, and is the only book in Latin ever to have been featured therein.

[edit] History
[edit] Origin
Original Winnie the Pooh stuffed toys. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear ("Winnie the Pooh"), Eeyore, and Piglet.
Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin. His toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl and Rabbit, who were probably based on real animals, and the Gopher character, who was added in the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear is now on display at the Donnell Library Center Central Children's Room in New York.[1]
Christopher Milne had named his teddy after Winnipeg, a bear which he and his father often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. Winnipeg the Bear was puchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, Canada, while en-route to England during the First World War. He named the bear "Winnipeg" after his hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "Winnie", as she became known, was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner, and gained unofficial recognition as a regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London zoo while he and his unit were in France; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much loved attraction there. Among her many young fans was Christopher Milne, who named his own teddy bear "Winnie".[2] Pooh the swan appears as a character in its own right in When We Were Very Young.
In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply "Pooh": "But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think - but I am not sure - that that is why he is always called Pooh."
The home of the Milnes, Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, was the basis for the setting of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The name of the fictional "Hundred Acre Wood" is reminiscent of the Five Hundred Acre Wood, which lies just outside Ashdown Forest and includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, such as the Enchanted Place.
[edit] Publication
The first appearance of the bear Pooh was in December 1925, when what became the first chapter of the book Winnie-the-Pooh was commissioned as a Christmas story by London's Evening News. The book was published in October 1926 by Methuen, the London publisher of Milne's earlier children's work When We Were Very Young.[3] The illustrator was E.H. Shepard, who had also drawn the pictures for the earlier book.
[edit] Disney
Pooh as realised by Disney
Stephen Slesinger acquired US and Canadian merchandising, television, recording and other trade rights to the "Winnie-the-Pooh" from A. A. Milne in the 1930s, and developed "Winnie-the-Pooh" commercializations for more than 20 years. After Slesinger's death in 1953, his wife, Shirley Slesinger Lasswell, continued developing the character herself. In 1961, she licensed rights to Disney in exchange for royalties in the first of two agreements between Stephen Slesinger, Inc. and Disney.[4] The same year, Daphne Milne also licensed certain rights, including motion picture rights, to Disney.
Since 1966, Disney has released numerous features starring Winnie the Pooh and related characters. Many direct-to-video featurettes have been created, as well as the theatrical feature-length films The Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie, and Pooh's Heffalump Movie.
In December 2005, Disney announced that the Disney Channel animated television series, My Friends Tigger & Pooh, will focus on adventures had by 6-year-old Darby and the Pooh characters, with the occasional appearance from Christopher Robin.[5]
The Disney version of Winnie the Pooh was featured in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, the Kingdom Hearts videogames and the TV series House of Mouse
Pooh also appears at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character.
[edit] Ownership controversy
Pooh videos, teddy bears, and other merchandise generate substantial annual revenues for Disney. The size of Pooh stuffed toys ranges from Beanie and miniature to human-sized. In addition to the stylized Disney Pooh, Disney markets Classic Pooh merchandise which more closely resembles E.H. Shepard’s illustrations. It is estimated that Winnie the Pooh features and merchandise generate as much revenue as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto combined.[6]
In 1991, Stephen Slesinger, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Disney which alleged that Disney had breached their 1983 agreement by again failing to accurately report revenue from Winnie the Pooh sales. Under this agreement, Disney was to retain approximately 98% of gross worldwide revenues while the remaining 2% was to be paid to Slesinger. In addition, the suit alleged that Disney had failed to pay required royalties on all commercial exploitation of the product name.[7] Though the Disney corporation was sanctioned by a judge for destroying millions of pages of evidence,[8] the suit was later terminated by another judge when it was discovered that Slesinger's investigator had rummaged through Disney's garbage in order to retrieve the discarded evidence.[9] Slesinger appealed the termination, and on September 26, 2007, a three-judge panel upheld the lawsuit dismissal.[10]
After the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, Clare Milne, Christopher Milne's daughter, attempted to terminate any future U.S. copyrights for Stephen Slesinger, Inc.[11] After a series of legal hearings, the United States District Court found in favor of Stephen Slesinger, Inc., as did the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On Monday, June 26, 2006, the US Supreme Court refused to hear the case, thus sustaining the Appeals Court ruling and ensuring the defeat of the suit.[12]
On February 19, 2007, it was reported Disney lost a court case in Los Angeles which ruled their "misguided claims" to dispute the licensing agreements with Slesinger, Inc. were unjustified.[13]
In doing so, the claims by Slesinger, Inc. can now be tackled without any argument over who owns the rights. Though the ruling was downplayed by a Disney attorney, the outcome of the case should prove a significant blow to Disney's revenue, since Pooh-related merchandise has been reported to bring the Walt Disney Company approximately 1 billion dollars a year.[14]

Pooh made his radio debut in 1930 in New York. Readings of various Winnie-the-Pooh stories have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom with narration by Alan Bennett and also have been released as recordings.
[edit] Broadway
Pooh debuted on Broadway with Sue Hastings' Marionettes in the 1930s.
[edit] Peek-a-poohs
A Peek-a-pooh is a small plastic toy in a removable rubber costume. Costumes might include various land, jungle and sea creatures not to mention holiday themed outfits for Halloween or Christmas. More than ten different series of these have been produced and are available from vending machines for $1.00 in the United States, £1 in the UK, $2.00 in Canada and ¥100 in Japan. There is also a larger form made of plastic, sold for $4 in Canada. In Australia they are marketed as "Pooh Animal Wear" and cost $2.
Many children and teenagers collect Peek-A-Poohs and exchange them for others or for money.

In the Soviet Union, three Winnie-the-Pooh, or "Vinni Puh" (Russian language: Винни-Пух) stories were made into a celebrated trilogy[15] of short films by Soyuzmultfilm (directed by Fedor Khitruk) from 1969 to 1972. Pooh was voiced by Yevgeny Leonov, looking distinctly different from both the yellow-and-red Disney incarnation and Shepard's illustrations.

Possibly the strangest incarnation of Winnie the Pooh is in Peter David's Star Trek: The Next Generation novel Q-Squared. The child-Q Trelane brings some Winnie the Pooh characters (Pooh, Owl and Rabbit) to life to entertain a group of primary school children in one of the Enterprise's classrooms. Pandemonium results, with Rabbit and Owl (under Trelane's guidance) harmlessly physically attacking several security guards who are attempting to control the situation. Pooh says his trademark phrase "Oh, bother." when he appears and is the only one of the three who does not "attack" the guards, as "The bear, for no discernable reason, was performing mild calisthenics and muttering to himself."

Not everyone was a fan of the original stories. Dorothy Parker in particular was critical of what she considered A. A. Milne's "dumbing down of English for children", a criticism she had for many other children's book authors as well. In her pseudonym as Constant Reader in the New Yorker magazine she made one of her most famous barbs when she, while reviewing one of the stories, wrote, "and it is precisely at that word, 'hummy' that Tonstant Weader fwowed up."
In Dreamworks Bee Movie, a bear holding a pot of honey who resembles Pooh Bear is tranquilized after a law of stealing honey from bees is imposed.
[edit] Facts and figures
The Disney incarnation of Winnie the Pooh, as a stuffed toy
Pooh's official birthdate is August 21, 1921, the day Christopher Robin received him as a present on his first birthday.
The sign over the door to Pooh's house says "Mr Sanders." This is because it is mentioned in the original book that Pooh lived under the name of "Sanders" (that meant that he had the name on a sign above his door, and he lived underneath it).
Pooh's obsession with honey is based on a misconception about bear behavior. While bears are major predators of beehives, they are seeking the brood (larva and pupa).[18]
On April 11, 2006, Winnie the Pooh was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6834 Hollywood Boulevard.[19]
It is revealed near the end of The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh that Pooh is one year younger than Christopher Robin, which is obviously because he was "born" on Christopher's first birthday.

First appearance
Winnie-The-Pooh (1926)
Created by
A. A. Milne and E. H. Shepard
Voiced by
Pinto Colvig, Sterling Holloway (1966 - 1979)Hal Smith (1980 - 1988)Jim Cummings (1988 - Current)
Also known as
Pooh, Pooh Bear, Winnie, Edward Bear, Silly Old Bear, Bear Of Very Little Brain
Winnie-the-Pooh, commonly shortened to Pooh and once referred to as Edward Bear, is a bear created by A. A. Milne. The character first appeared in the children books Winnie-the-Pooh (1926) and The House at Pooh Corner (1928). Milne also included several poems about Winnie-the-Pooh in the children’s poetry books When We Were Very Young and Now We Are Six. All four volumes were illustrated by E. H. Shepard.
The hyphens in the character's name were later dropped when The Walt Disney Company adapted the Pooh stories into a series of Winnie the Pooh featurettes that became one of the company's most successful franchises worldwide.
The Pooh stories have been translated into many languages, notably including Alexander Lenard's Latin translation, Winnie ille Pu, which was first published in 1958, and, in 1960, became the first foreign-language book to be featured on the New York Times Bestseller List, and is the only book in Latin ever to have been featured therein.

[edit] History
[edit] Origin
Original Winnie the Pooh stuffed toys. Clockwise from bottom left: Tigger, Kanga, Edward Bear ("Winnie the Pooh"), Eeyore, and Piglet.
Milne named the character Winnie-the-Pooh after a teddy bear owned by his son, Christopher Robin Milne, who was the basis for the character Christopher Robin. His toys also lent their names to most of the other characters, except for Owl and Rabbit, who were probably based on real animals, and the Gopher character, who was added in the Disney version. Christopher Robin's toy bear is now on display at the Donnell Library Center Central Children's Room in New York.[1]
Christopher Milne had named his teddy after Winnipeg, a bear which he and his father often saw at London Zoo, and "Pooh", a swan they had met while on holiday. Winnipeg the Bear was puchased from a hunter for $20 by Canadian Lieutenant Harry Colebourn in White River, Ontario, Canada, while en-route to England during the First World War. He named the bear "Winnipeg" after his hometown in Winnipeg, Manitoba. "Winnie", as she became known, was surreptitiously brought to England with her owner, and gained unofficial recognition as a regimental mascot. Colebourn left Winnie at the London zoo while he and his unit were in France; after the war she was officially donated to the zoo, as she had become a much loved attraction there. Among her many young fans was Christopher Milne, who named his own teddy bear "Winnie".[2] Pooh the swan appears as a character in its own right in When We Were Very Young.
In the first chapter of Winnie-the-Pooh, Milne offers this explanation of why Winnie-the-Pooh is often called simply "Pooh": "But his arms were so stiff ... they stayed up straight in the air for more than a week, and whenever a fly came and settled on his nose he had to blow it off. And I think - but I am not sure - that that is why he is always called Pooh."
The home of the Milnes, Ashdown Forest in East Sussex, England, was the basis for the setting of the Winnie-the-Pooh stories. The name of the fictional "Hundred Acre Wood" is reminiscent of the Five Hundred Acre Wood, which lies just outside Ashdown Forest and includes some of the locations mentioned in the book, such as the Enchanted Place.
[edit] Publication
The first appearance of the bear Pooh was in December 1925, when what became the first chapter of the book Winnie-the-Pooh was commissioned as a Christmas story by London's Evening News. The book was published in October 1926 by Methuen, the London publisher of Milne's earlier children's work When We Were Very Young.[3] The illustrator was E.H. Shepard, who had also drawn the pictures for the earlier book.
[edit] Disney
Pooh as realised by Disney
Stephen Slesinger acquired US and Canadian merchandising, television, recording and other trade rights to the "Winnie-the-Pooh" from A. A. Milne in the 1930s, and developed "Winnie-the-Pooh" commercializations for more than 20 years. After Slesinger's death in 1953, his wife, Shirley Slesinger Lasswell, continued developing the character herself. In 1961, she licensed rights to Disney in exchange for royalties in the first of two agreements between Stephen Slesinger, Inc. and Disney.[4] The same year, Daphne Milne also licensed certain rights, including motion picture rights, to Disney.
Since 1966, Disney has released numerous features starring Winnie the Pooh and related characters. Many direct-to-video featurettes have been created, as well as the theatrical feature-length films The Tigger Movie, Piglet's Big Movie, and Pooh's Heffalump Movie.
In December 2005, Disney announced that the Disney Channel animated television series, My Friends Tigger & Pooh, will focus on adventures had by 6-year-old Darby and the Pooh characters, with the occasional appearance from Christopher Robin.[5]
The Disney version of Winnie the Pooh was featured in Cartoon All-Stars to the Rescue, the Kingdom Hearts videogames and the TV series House of Mouse
Pooh also appears at Walt Disney Parks and Resorts as a meetable character.
[edit] Ownership controversy
Pooh videos, teddy bears, and other merchandise generate substantial annual revenues for Disney. The size of Pooh stuffed toys ranges from Beanie and miniature to human-sized. In addition to the stylized Disney Pooh, Disney markets Classic Pooh merchandise which more closely resembles E.H. Shepard’s illustrations. It is estimated that Winnie the Pooh features and merchandise generate as much revenue as Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Goofy, and Pluto combined.[6]
In 1991, Stephen Slesinger, Inc. filed a lawsuit against Disney which alleged that Disney had breached their 1983 agreement by again failing to accurately report revenue from Winnie the Pooh sales. Under this agreement, Disney was to retain approximately 98% of gross worldwide revenues while the remaining 2% was to be paid to Slesinger. In addition, the suit alleged that Disney had failed to pay required royalties on all commercial exploitation of the product name.[7] Though the Disney corporation was sanctioned by a judge for destroying millions of pages of evidence,[8] the suit was later terminated by another judge when it was discovered that Slesinger's investigator had rummaged through Disney's garbage in order to retrieve the discarded evidence.[9] Slesinger appealed the termination, and on September 26, 2007, a three-judge panel upheld the lawsuit dismissal.[10]
After the Sonny Bono Copyright Term Extension Act of 1998, Clare Milne, Christopher Milne's daughter, attempted to terminate any future U.S. copyrights for Stephen Slesinger, Inc.[11] After a series of legal hearings, the United States District Court found in favor of Stephen Slesinger, Inc., as did the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. On Monday, June 26, 2006, the US Supreme Court refused to hear the case, thus sustaining the Appeals Court ruling and ensuring the defeat of the suit.[12]
On February 19, 2007, it was reported Disney lost a court case in Los Angeles which ruled their "misguided claims" to dispute the licensing agreements with Slesinger, Inc. were unjustified.[13]
In doing so, the claims by Slesinger, Inc. can now be tackled without any argument over who owns the rights. Though the ruling was downplayed by a Disney attorney, the outcome of the case should prove a significant blow to Disney's revenue, since Pooh-related merchandise has been reported to bring the Walt Disney Company approximately 1 billion dollars a year.[14]

Pooh made his radio debut in 1930 in New York. Readings of various Winnie-the-Pooh stories have been broadcast on BBC Radio 4 in the United Kingdom with narration by Alan Bennett and also have been released as recordings.
[edit] Broadway
Pooh debuted on Broadway with Sue Hastings' Marionettes in the 1930s.
[edit] Peek-a-poohs
A Peek-a-pooh is a small plastic toy in a removable rubber costume. Costumes might include various land, jungle and sea creatures not to mention holiday themed outfits for Halloween or Christmas. More than ten different series of these have been produced and are available from vending machines for $1.00 in the United States, £1 in the UK, $2.00 in Canada and ¥100 in Japan. There is also a larger form made of plastic, sold for $4 in Canada. In Australia they are marketed as "Pooh Animal Wear" and cost $2.
Many children and teenagers collect Peek-A-Poohs and exchange them for others or for money.
