AUTUMN RAIN Rain is liquid water in the form of droplets that
have condensed from atmospheric water vapor and then
precipitatedthat is, become heavy enough to fall under gravity.
Rain is a major component of the wate cycle and is responsible for
depositing most of the fresh water on the Earth. It provides
suitable conditions for many types of ecosystems, as well as water
for hydroelectric power plants and crop irrigation.

AUTUMN EQUINOX An equinox occurs twice a year, around 20 March
and 22 September. The word itself has several related definitions.
The oldest meaning is the day when daytime and night are of
approximately equal duration. The word equinox comes from this
definition, derived from the Latin aequus (equal) and nox (night).
The equinox is not exactly the same as the day when period of
daytime and night are of equal length for two reasons. Firstly,
sunrise, which begins daytime, occurs when the top of the Sun's
disk rises above the eastern horizon. At that instant, the disk's
center is still below the horizon. Secondly, Earth's atmosphere
refracts sunlight. As a result, an observer sees daylight before
the first glimpse of the Sun's disk above the horizon. To avoid
this ambiguity, the word equilux is sometimes used to mean a day on
which the periods of daylight and night are equal.

WEATHER Autumn is the season which marks the transition from
Summer, the warmest season to Winter, the coolest season. During
the Summer, either the Northern Hemisphere or Southern Hemisphere
is exposed to more direct sunlight. In Autumn, the given hemisphere
is gradually exposed to less and less of this direct sunlight,
until it is exposed to very little in Winter. Thus, throughout
Autumn the temperature generally becomes cooler and cooler. The
season typically begins in September in the Northern Hemisphere and
March in the Southern Hemisphere. It then occurs throughout October
and November or April and May in the Northern Hemisphere and
Southern Hemisphere respectively. The effects of Autumn are felt in
the more temperate places of each hemisphere, whilst places closer
to the equator experience very little or none of the changes.

FRUITS,VEGETABLES Fruits have been used as a beer adjunct for
centuries, especially with Belgian lambic styles. Cherry,
raspberry, and peach are a common addition to this style of beer.
Modern breweries may add only flavored ext:Chile pepper is used to
flavor pale lagers. More popular American chile beers are Eske's by
Sangre de Cristo Brewing and Rogue's Chipotle Ale. Eske's "Taos
Green Chile Beer" is made with New Mexico roasted green chiles.
Black Mountain Brewing Company in Cave Creek, Arizona brews "Cave
Creek Chili Beer", the only internationally marketed chile
beer.racts to the finished product, rather than actually fermenting
the fruit.

HALLOWEN Typical festive Halloween activities include
trick-or-treating (or the related "guising"), attending costume
parties, decorating, carving pumpkins into jack-o'-lanterns,
lighting bonfires, apple bobbing, visiting haunted house
attractions, playing pranks, telling scary stories, and watching
horror films. In many parts of the world, the Christian religious
observances of All Hallows' Eve, including attending church
services and lighting candles on the graves of the dead, remain
popular, although in other locations, these solemn customs are less
pronounced in favour of a more commercialized and secularized
celebration

OKTOBERFEST Oktoberfest is the world's largest funfair held
annually in Munich, Bavaria, Germany. It is a 16-day festival
running from late September to the first weekend in October with
more than 6 million people from around the world attending the
event every year. Locally, it is often simply called Wiesn, after
the colloquial name of the fairgrounds (Theresienwiese) themselves.
The Oktoberfest is an important part of Bavarian culture, having
been held since 1810. Other cities across the world also hold
Oktoberfest celebrations, modeled after the original Munich
event.

NATURAL PHENOMENA A natural phenomenon is not a man-made event.
Examples include sunrise, weather (fog, hurricanes, tornadoes),
biological processes (decomposition, germination), physical
processes (wave propagation, conservation of energy, erosion),
tidal flow, and include natural disasters such as electromagnetic
pulses, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes.

HUMANS ACTIVITY The behavior of humans (and other organisms or
even mechanisms) falls within a range with some behavior being
common, some unusual, some acceptable, and some outside acceptable
limits. In sociology, behavior in general is characterised as
having no meaning, being not directed at other people, and thus is
the most basic human action. Behavior in this general sense should
not be mistaken with social behavior, which is a more advanced
action, as social behavior is behavior specifically directed at
other people. The acceptability of behavior depends heavily upon
social norms and is regulated by various means of social control.
Human behavior is studied by the specialised academic disciplines
of psychiatry, psycholog, social work, sociology, economics, and
anthropology.
