It is important because gun deaths also includes a substantial amount of domestic violence cases, there is an attempt by a minority of people to portray gun deaths as just gang members killing each other or occasional innocent member of the public, the truth is that gang violence accounts for a relatively small amount of gun deaths in America and you are more likely to die of a gunshot wound if you own a gun than if you don't.

Asteroids and Trojans. Part 1: Introduction to asteroids and setting the scene. A look at the early formation of our Solar system and how that in turn relates to the general conditions of how and where the asteroids formed within our Solar system. https://youtu.be/Il_DM-_Sw0g

Asteroids and Trojans. Part 2: Kirkwood gap and the density and distribution of the asteroids. A look at the difference between the portrayal of an asteroid field in films and the reality of the one in our Solar system. The asteroids are widely scattered and even occur in distinct bands creating the Kirkwood gap due to the synchronisation of the orbits of the asteroids and Jupiter. https://youtu.be/ibXLAewSTCs

Asteroids and Trojans. Part 3: Asteroid composition and the Lagrange point. Looking at the three major asteroid types, Metallic, Carbon and Silicon and how the distribution of the Trojan and Greek asteroids around Jupiter relates to the Lagrange point and the three body problem. https://youtu.be/QUEJYsGNRWE

We generally don't, but some measures of inflation are useful under certain circumstances for measuring things which don't have a seasonal fluctuation like food. If a particular crop has recently been harvested the price for that food will drop, but that isn't really significant to a general measure of inflation.

Governments set a budget for each year estimating what service they need and can afford, they also set out how much the government need to borrow and the rate of tax to balance out the budget. In some years you may get a sudden unexpected increase in tax revenues which means the government has more money coming in than they were expecting to spend, the difference is the surplus, which can be used to pay off government debt or increase spending.

Before industrial fertilizer was mass produced in the 20th Century guano was used. Guano is concentrated bird or bat droppings containing high levels of nitrates, phosphates and potassium all of which can promote plant growth. https://youtu.be/mVY08GnyR4A
