In rugby union a scrum is a means of restarting play after a minor infringement . It involves up to eight players from each team , known as the pack or forward pack , binding together in three rows and interlocking with the free opposing teams forwards . At this point the ball is fed into the gap between the two forward packs and they both compete for the ball to win possession . Teams can be penalised for intentionally causing the scrum to collapse , and for not putting the ball into the scrum correctly . A scrum is most commonly awarded when the ball is knocked forward , or passed forward , or when a ball becomes trapped in a ruck or maul . Because of the physical nature of scrums , injuries can occur , especially in the front row .

In population genetics , fixation is the change in a gene pool from a situation where there exists at least two variants of a particular gene ( allele ) in a given population to a situation where only one of the alleles remains . In the absence of mutation or heterozygote advantage , any allele must eventually be lost completely from the population or fixed ( permanently established at 100 % frequency in the population ) . Whether a gene will ultimately be lost or fixed is dependent on selection coefficients and chance fluctuations in allelic proportions . Fixation can refer to a gene in general or particular nucleotide position in the DNA chain ( locus ) .

Plant defense against herbivory or host - plant resistance ( HPR ) describes a range of adaptations evolved by plants which improve their survival and reproduction by reducing the impact of herbivores . Plants can sense being touched , and they can use several strategies to defend against damage caused by herbivores . Many plants produce secondary metabolites , known as allelochemicals , that influence the behavior , growth , or survival of herbivores . These chemical defenses can act as repellents or toxins to herbivores , or reduce plant digestibility .

A kicker , also called a side card , is a card in a poker hand that does not itself take part in determining the rank of the hand , but that may be used to break ties between hands of the same rank . For example , the hand Q-Q - 10 - 5 - 2 is ranked as a pair of queens . The 10 , 5 , and 2 are kickers . This hand would defeat any hand with no pair , or with a lower - ranking pair , and lose to any higher - ranking hand . But the kickers can be used to break ties between other hands that also have a pair of queens . For example , Q-Q-K - 3 - 2 would win ( because its K kicker outranks the 10 ) , but Q-Q - 10 - 4 - 3 would lose ( because its 4 is outranked by the 5 ) .

Shema Yisrael ( or Sh'ma Yisrael ; Hebrew : שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל ‬ ; `` Hear , ( O ) Israel '' ) are the first two words of a section of the Torah , and is the title ( better known as The Shema ) of a prayer that serves as a centerpiece of the morning and evening Jewish prayer services . The first verse encapsulates the monotheistic essence of Judaism : `` Hear , O Israel : the LORD our God , the LORD is one '' ( Hebrew : שְׁמַע יִשְׂרָאֵל יְהוָה אֱלֹהֵינוּ יְהוָה אֶחָֽד ׃ ‬ ) , found in Deuteronomy 6 : 4 , sometimes alternatively translated as `` The LORD is our God , the LORD is one . '' Observant Jews consider the Shema to be the most important part of the prayer service in Judaism , and its twice - daily recitation as a mitzvah ( religious commandment ) . It is traditional for Jews to say the Shema as their last words , and for parents to teach their children to say it before they go to sleep at night .

Skeleton in the closet or skeleton in the cupboard is a colloquial phrase and idiom used to describe an undisclosed fact about someone which , if revealed , would have a negative impact on perceptions of the person ; it hyperbolically evokes the idea of someone having had a ( presumedly human ) corpse concealed in their home so long that it had decomposed but for its bones . `` Cupboard '' is used in British English instead of the American English word `` closet '' . It is known to have been used as a phrase , at least as early as November 1816 , in the monthly British journal The Eclectic Review , page 468 . It is listed in both the Oxford English Dictionary , and Webster 's Dictionary , under the word `` skeleton '' . The `` Cambridge Academic Content Dictionary '' lists it under this but also as a separate idiom . In the most derisive of usage ; murder , or significant culpability in a years - old disappearance or non-understood event ( a mystery ) , may be implied by the phrase .

In other words , a sister chromatid may also be said to be ' one - half ' of the duplicated chromosome . A pair of sister chromatids is called a dyad . A full set of sister chromatids is created during the synthesis ( S ) phase of interphase , when all the chromosomes in a cell are replicated . The two sister chromatids are separated from each other into two different cells during mitosis or during the second division of meiosis .

A leap year ( also known as an intercalary year or bissextile year ) is a calendar year containing one additional day ( or , in the case of lunisolar calendars , a month ) added to keep the calendar year synchronized with the astronomical or seasonal year . Because seasons and astronomical events do not repeat in a whole number of days , calendars that have the same number of days in each year drift over time with respect to the event that the year is supposed to track . By inserting ( also called intercalating ) an additional day or month into the year , the drift can be corrected . A year that is not a leap year is called a common year .

Earliest human migrations and expansions of archaic and modern humans across continents began 2 million years ago with the migration out of Africa of Homo erectus . This was followed by the migrations of other pre-modern humans including H. heidelbergensis , the likely ancestor of both anatomically modern humans and Neanderthals . Finally , the recent African origin paradigm suggests that Homo sapiens migrated out of Africa around 100,000 years ago , spread across Asia approximately 60,000 years ago , and subsequently populated other continents and islands .

Beauty and the Beast ( French : La Belle et la Bête ) is a traditional fairy tale written by French novelist Gabrielle - Suzanne Barbot de Villeneuve and published in 1740 in La Jeune Américaine et les contes marins ( The Young American and Marine Tales ) . Her lengthy version was abridged , rewritten , and published first by Jeanne - Marie Leprince de Beaumont in 1756 in Magasin des enfants ( Children 's Collection ) and by Andrew Lang in the Blue Fairy Book of his Fairy Book series in 1889 , to produce the version ( s ) most commonly retold .

The Roman conquest of Britain was a gradual process , beginning effectively in AD 43 under Emperor Claudius , whose general Aulus Plautius served as first governor of Roman Britain ( Latin : Britannia ) . Great Britain had already frequently been the target of invasions , planned and actual , by forces of the Roman Republic and Roman Empire . In common with other regions on the edge of the empire , Britain had enjoyed diplomatic and trading links with the Romans in the century since Julius Caesar 's expeditions in 55 and 54 BC , and Roman economic and cultural influence was a significant part of the British late pre-Roman Iron Age , especially in the south .

The Indian Statutory Commission , commonly referred to as the Simon Commission , was a group of seven British Members of Parliament under the chairmanship of Sir John Allsebrook Simon . The commission arrived in British India in 1928 to study constitutional reform in Britain 's most important colonial dependency . One of its members was Clement Attlee , who became committed to Indian independence by 1934 and achieved that goal as Prime Minister in 1947 in the granting of independence to India and Pakistan .

The Reconstruction Amendments are the Thirteenth , Fourteenth , and Fifteenth amendments to the United States Constitution , adopted between 1865 and 1870 , the five years immediately following the Civil War . The last time the Constitution had been amended was with the Twelfth Amendment more than 60 years earlier in 1804 . The Reconstruction amendments were important in implementing the Reconstruction of the American South after the war . Their proponents saw them as transforming the United States from a country that was ( in Abraham Lincoln 's words ) `` half slave and half free '' to one in which the constitutionally guaranteed `` blessings of liberty '' would be extended to the entire populace , including the former slaves and their descendants .

Crepuscular rays / krɪˈpʌskjʊlər / ( more commonly known as sunbeams , sun rays , ) , in atmospheric optics , are rays of sunlight that appear to radiate from the point in the sky where the sun is located . These rays , which stream through gaps in clouds ( particularly stratocumulus ) or between other objects , are columns of sunlit air separated by darker cloud - shadowed regions . Despite seeming to converge at a point , the rays are in fact near - parallel shafts of sunlight . Their apparent convergence is a perspective effect , similar , for example , to the way that parallel railway lines seem to converge at a point in the distance .

Capacitor discharge ignition ( CDI ) or thyristor ignition is a type of automotive electronic ignition system which is widely used in outboard motors , motorcycles , lawn mowers , chainsaws , small engines , turbine - powered aircraft , and some cars . It was originally developed to overcome the long charging times associated with high inductance coils used in inductive discharge ignition ( IDI ) systems , making the ignition system more suitable for high engine speeds ( for small engines , racing engines and rotary engines ) . The capacitive - discharge ignition uses capacitor discharge current to the coil to fire the spark plugs .

New Zealand ( the All Blacks ) and the South Africa ( the Springboks ) have been playing test match rugby union since 1921 when the All Blacks beat the Springboks in Dunedin 13 - 5 . There is considerable history behind these matches , much of it off the field . In 1981 , there were protests in New Zealand over the Springboks coming to New Zealand due to the then South African government 's policy of apartheid . Up until the start of the professional era , South Africa had won 21 tests to New Zealand 's 18 . In the 50 matches since the start of the professional era , New Zealand have won 36 tests to South Africa 's 14 .

In the physical sciences , a phase is a region of space ( a thermodynamic system ) , throughout which all physical properties of a material are essentially uniform . Examples of physical properties include density , index of refraction , magnetization and chemical composition . A simple description is that a phase is a region of material that is chemically uniform , physically distinct , and ( often ) mechanically separable . In a system consisting of ice and water in a glass jar , the ice cubes are one phase , the water is a second phase , and the humid air over the water is a third phase . The glass of the jar is another separate phase . ( See state of matter # Glass )

Red blood cell distribution width ( RDW or RDW - CV or RCDW and RDW - SD ) is a measure of the range of variation of red blood cell ( RBC ) volume that is reported as part of a standard complete blood count . Usually red blood cells are a standard size of about 6 - 8 μm in diameter . Certain disorders , however , cause a significant variation in cell size . Higher RDW values indicate greater variation in size . Normal reference range of RDW - CV in human red blood cells is 11.5 - 14.5 % . If anemia is observed , RDW test results are often used together with mean corpuscular volume ( MCV ) results to determine the possible causes of the anemia . It is mainly used to differentiate an anemia of mixed causes from an anemia of a single cause .

A fluorescent lamp , or fluorescent tube , is a low - pressure mercury - vapor gas - discharge lamp that uses fluorescence to produce visible light . An electric current in the gas excites mercury vapor , which produces short - wave ultraviolet light that then causes a phosphor coating on the inside of the lamp to glow . A fluorescent lamp converts electrical energy into useful light much more efficiently than incandescent lamps . The typical luminous efficacy of fluorescent lighting systems is 50 -- 100 lumens per watt , several times the efficacy of incandescent bulbs with comparable light output .

The Dust Bowl , also known as the Dirty Thirties , was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s ; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion ( the Aeolian processes ) caused the phenomenon . The drought came in three waves , 1934 , 1936 , and 1939 -- 1940 , but some regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years . With insufficient understanding of the ecology of the plains , farmers had conducted extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains during the previous decade ; this had displaced the native , deep - rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during periods of drought and high winds . The rapid mechanization of farm equipment , especially small gasoline tractors , and widespread use of the combine harvester contributed to farmers ' decisions to convert arid grassland ( much of which received no more than 10 inches ( ~ 250 mm ) of precipitation per year ) to cultivated cropland .

Since the early 13th century , most copies and editions of the Bible present all but the shortest of these books with divisions into chapters , generally a page or so in length . Since the mid-16th century editors have further subdivided each chapter into verses - each consisting of a few short lines or sentences . Sometimes a sentence spans more than one verse , as in the case of Ephesians 2 : 8 -- 9 , and sometimes there is more than one sentence in a single verse , as in the case of Genesis 1 : 2 .

Pangaea or Pangea ( / pænˈdʒiːə / ) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras . It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago , and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago . In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass , much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a superocean , Panthalassa . Pangaea was the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists .

The poverty threshold , poverty limit or poverty line is the minimum level of income deemed adequate in a particular country . In practice , like the definition of poverty , the official or common understanding of the poverty line is significantly higher in developed countries than in developing countries . In 2008 , the World Bank came out with a figure ( revised largely due to inflation ) of $1.25 a day at 2005 purchasing - power parity ( PPP ) . In October 2015 , the World Bank updated the international poverty line to $1.90 a day . The new figure of $1.90 is based on ICP purchasing power parity ( PPP ) calculations and represents the international equivalent of what $1.90 could buy in the US in 2011 . The new IPL replaces the $1.25 per day figure , which used 2005 data . Most scholars agree that it better reflects today 's reality , particularly new price levels in developing countries . The common international poverty line has in the past been roughly $1 a day . At present the percentage of the global population living under extreme poverty is likely to fall below 10 % according to the World Bank projections released in 2015 .
