Gossypium is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Gossypieae of the mallow family, Malvaceae from which cotton is harvested. It is native to subtropical regions of the Old and New Worlds. There are about 50 Gossypium species, making it the largest genus in the tribe Gossypieae, new species continue to be discovered; the name of the genus is derived from the Arabic word goz. Cotton is the primary natural fibre used by modern humans. Where cotton is cultivated it is a main protein source for animal feed. Cotton is thus of great importance for agriculture and trade for tropical and subtropical countries in Africa, South America and Asia; the genus Gossypium has long attracted the attention of scientists. The origin of the genus Gossypium is dated to around 5–10 million years ago. Gossypium species are distributed in arid to semiarid regions of the subtropics. Shrubs or shrub-like plants, the species of this genus are extraordinarily diverse in morphology and adaptation, ranging from fire-adapted, herbaceous perennials in Australia to trees in Mexico.

Cultivated cottons are perennial shrubs most grown as annuals. Plants are 1–2 m high in modern cropping systems, sometimes higher in traditional, multiannual cropping systems, now disappearing; the leaves are lobed, with three to five lobes. The seeds are contained in a capsule called a "boll", each seed surrounded by fibres of two types; these fibres are the more commercially interesting part of the plant and they are separated from the seed by a process called ginning. At the first ginning, the longer fibres, called staples, are removed and these are twisted together to form yarn for making thread and weaving into high quality textiles. At the second ginning, the shorter fibres, called "linters", are removed, these are woven into lower quality textiles. Commercial species of cotton plant are G. barbadense, G. arboreum and G. herbaceum. Many varieties of cotton have been developed by selective breeding and hybridization of these species. Experiments are ongoing to cross-breed various desirable traits of wild cotton species into the principal commercial species, such as resistance to insects and diseases, drought tolerance.

Cotton fibres occur in colours of white, brown and some mixing of these. Most wild cottons are diploid, but a group of five species from America and Pacific islands are tetraploid due to a single hybridization event around 1.5 to 2 million years ago. The tetraploid species are G. hirsutum, G. tomentosum, G. mustelinum, G. barbadense, G. darwinii. Gossypium arboreum L. – tree cotton Gossypium herbaceum L. – Levant cotton Gossypium raimondii Ulbr. – one of the putative progenitor species of tetraploid cotton, alongside G. arboreum Gossypium thurberi Tod. – Arizona wild cotton Gossypium barbadense L. – Creole cotton/Sea Island Cotton Gossypium darwinii G.

Muell Gossypium sturtianum J. H. Willis – Sturt's desert rose Gossypioides brevilanatum J. B. Hutch. Gossypioides kirkii J. B. Hutch. Kokia drynarioides Lewton A public genome sequencing effort of cotton was initiated in 2007 by a consortium of public researchers.

They agreed on a strategy to sequence the genome of allotetraploid cotton. "Allotetraploid" means that the genomes of these cotton species comprise two distinct subgenomes, referred to as the At and Dt. The strategy is to sequence first the D-genome relative of allotetraploid cottons, G. raimondii, a wild South American cotton species, because of its smaller size due to less repetitive DNA. It has nearly one-third the number of bases of tetraploid cotton, each chromosome is only present once; the A genome of G. arboreum, the'Old-World' cotton species, would be sequenced next. Its genome is twice the size of G. raimondii's. Once both A and D genome sequences are assembled research could begin to sequence the actual genomes of tetraploid cultivated cotton varieties; this strategy is out of necessity. There would be no way to untangle the mess of AD sequences without comparing them to their diploid counterparts; the public sector effort continues with the goal to create a high-quality, draft genome sequence from reads generated by all sources.

The public-sector effort has generated Sanger reads of BACs, plasmids, as well as 454 reads. These types of reads will be instrumental in assembling an initial draft of the D genome. In 2010, two companies, completed enough Illumina sequencing to cover the D genome of G. raimondii about 50x. They announced; this public relations effort gave them some recognition for sequencing the cot

Dogma 19 is a movement in DIY music production developed in the late 2010s by interdisciplinary artists and members of The Unilalia Group, an independent label based in Washington state. It is an adaptation of the logic and principle behind Dogme 95, a Danish filmmaking movement, this time applied to the arena of the voice as opposed to the moving image. Characterized early on as "strange Ugly Mane-esque satirical seriousness", music coming from The Unilalia Group has always demonstrated a low-budget approach to pushing creative and stylistic boundaries in the studio of the vocalist. Dogma 19 represents a conventionalization of this approach, ready for distribution. Dogma 19 is a critical reaction to the advent of social media and its transformation of the art world, consumption patterns, the palette of the consumer. Pulled directly from its manifesto: "The purpose of Dogma 19 is to cultivate a new authenticity in the workrooms and studios of the vocalist in particular – the advent of clout culture and its copy and paste styles of expression have contributed to a decline of artistry in exchange for cultural assimilation.

Public channels become flooded with oversaturated, duplicative content while access points are consolidated. Multimedia conglomerates and subsidiary labels alike project baseless archetypes, coded messages, manufactured associations which in turn shape the cultural palette of today's consumer – entertainment has conquered creativity as capital drives the art world, irrespective of medium." A set of rules and restrictions were developed to rejuvenate the creative process. Dogma 19 seeks to purify the creative process of the vocalist by forbidding the use of expensive and otherwise spectacular special effects, pitch correction and other technical gimmicks, it is a challenge, a test, a ritualization of the vocalist's approach designed to raise talent and ingenuity to the forefront of the audience's concerns. Listeners are brought closer to their attention no longer distracted by overproduction. Dogma 19 records are characterized by a conformation to the following rules: All writing and recording must be done alone, in isolation.

Ghostwriters, writing in groups, or anything remotely similar is forbidden. Vocalist must only use GarageBand. External plugins are forbidden. Built-in plugin use limited to Pitch Shifter, Fuzz-Wah and Channel EQ only. Any use of autotune, quantizers, or anything similar is forbidden. Vocalist must do all engineering by themselves. All outside assistance is forbidden. All instrumentation must be externally licensed. Vocalist must record in same space they sleep in: all professional studios are forbidden. Features are forbidden, no exceptions. Records must be conceptual narrative works. Lo-fi genre records are not acceptable. Budget must not exceed $500. To Unilalia: Official Trailer The Highway

The Dominican Republic is divided into thirty–one provincias, while the national capital, Santo Domingo, is contained within its own Distrito Nacional. The division of the country into provinces is enacted by law; the latter is Law 5220 on the Territorial Division of the Dominican Republic, issued 1959 and amended to create new provinces and lower-level administrative units. The provinces are the first–level administrative subdivisions of the country; the headquarters of the central government's regional offices are found in the capital cities of provinces. The president appoints an administrative governor for each province but not for the Distrito Nacional; the provinces are divided into municipalities, which are the second–level political and administrative subdivisions of the country. The Distrito Nacional was created in 1936. Prior to this, the Distrito National was the old Santo Domingo Province, in existence since the country's independence in 1844, it is not to be confused with the new Santo Domingo Province split off from it in 2001.

While it is similar to a province in many ways, the Distrito Nacional differs in its lack of an administrative governor and consisting only of one municipality, Santo Domingo, the city council and mayor which are in charge of its administration. The provinces are constituencies for the elections to the bicameral National Congress; each province elects one member of the Senate and a guaranteed minimum of two members of the Chamber of Deputies. The following is a table of their capital cities; the population figures are from the 2014 population estimate.
