+ Conscription in the United States , commonly known as the draft , has been employed by the federal government of the United States in five conflicts : the American Revolution , the American Civil War , World War I , World War II , and the Cold War ( including both the Korean War and the Vietnam War ) .

From 1940 until 1973 , during both peacetime and periods of conflict , men were drafted to fill vacancies in the United States Armed Forces that could not be filled through voluntary means . The draft came to an end when the United States Armed Forces moved to an all - volunteer military force . However , the Selective Service System remains in place as a contingency plan ; all male civilians between the ages of 18 and 25 are required to register so that a draft can be readily resumed if needed . United States Federal Law also provides for the compulsory conscription of men between the ages of 17 and 45 and certain women for militia service pursuant to Article I , Section 8 of the United States Constitution and 10 U.S. Code § 246 .

+ Senatorial opponents of the war wanted to reduce this to a one - year extension , or eliminate the draft altogether , or tie the draft renewal to a timetable for troop withdrawal from Vietnam ; Senator Mike Gravel of Alaska took the most forceful approach , trying to filibuster the draft renewal legislation , shut down conscription , and directly force an end to the war . Senators supporting Nixon 's war efforts supported the bill , even though some had qualms about ending the draft . After a prolonged battle in the Senate , in September 1971 cloture was achieved over the filibuster and the draft renewal bill was approved . Meanwhile , military pay was increased as an incentive to attract volunteers , and television advertising for the U.S. Army began . With the end of active U.S. ground participation in Vietnam , December 1972 saw the last men conscripted , who were born in 1952 and who reported for duty in June 1973 . On February 2 , 1972 , a drawing was held to determine draft priority numbers for men born in 1953 , but in early 1973 it was announced by Secretary of Defense Melvin Laird that no further draft orders would be issued . In March 1973 , 1974 , and 1975 , the Selective Service assigned draft priority numbers for all men born in 1954 , 1955 , and 1956 , in case the draft was extended , but it never was .

+ Most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria , which produce ATP from products of the citric acid cycle , fatty acid oxidation , and amino acid oxidation . At the mitochondrial inner membrane , electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass through the electron transport chain to oxygen , which is reduced to water . The electron transport chain comprises an enzymatic series of electron donors and acceptors . Each electron donor will pass electrons to a more electronegative acceptor , which in turn donates these electrons to another acceptor , a process that continues down the series until electrons are passed to oxygen , the most electronegative and terminal electron acceptor in the chain . Passage of electrons between donor and acceptor releases energy , which is used to generate a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane by actively `` pumping '' protons into the intermembrane space , producing a thermodynamic state that has the potential to do work . The entire process is called oxidative phosphorylation , since ADP is phosphorylated to ATP using the energy of hydrogen oxidation in many steps .
+ An electron transport chain ( ETC ) is a series of complexes that transfer electrons from electron donors to electron acceptors via redox ( both reduction and oxidation occurring simultaneously ) reactions , and couples this electron transfer with the transfer of protons ( H ions ) across a membrane . This creates an electrochemical proton gradient that drives the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , a molecule that stores energy chemically in the form of highly strained bonds . The molecules of the chain include peptides , enzymes ( which are proteins or protein complexes ) , and others . The final acceptor of electrons in the electron transport chain during aerobic respiration is molecular oxygen although a variety of acceptors other than oxygen such as sulfate exist in anaerobic respiration .
+ Microscope slides are often used together with a cover slip or cover glass , a smaller and thinner sheet of glass that is placed over the specimen . Slides are held in place on the microscope 's stage by slide clips , slide clamps or a cross-table which is used to achieve precise , remote movement of the slide upon the microscope 's stage ( such as in an automated / computer operated system , or where touching the slide with fingers is inappropriate either due to the risk of contamination or lack of precision )

+ While originally slated to commence in Las Vegas on April 8 , 2016 , a previously unannounced warmup gig at the Troubadour in Los Angeles took place on April 1 , 2016 . Rumors of the secret show had started the night before , and fans were starting to gather outside the old Tower Records building at Sunset Boulevard in West Hollywood .

Then , during the morning , the announcement came that the rumors were true and tickets for the club show would go on sale at 12 pm at the Tower Records building . They charged a $10 `` retro '' ticket price for the show .

+ The music to `` Man Gave Names to All the Animals '' is reggae - inspired . The lyrics were inspired by the biblical Book of Genesis , verses 2 : 19 -- 20 in which Adam named the animals and birds . The lyrics have an appeal to children , rhyming the name of the animal with one of its characteristics . So after describing an animal 's `` muddy trail '' and `` curly tail , '' Dylan sings that `` he was n't too small and he was n't too big '' and so that animal was named a pig . Similarly , the cow got its name because Adam `` saw milk comin ' out but he did n't know how '' and the bear got its name because it has a `` great big furry back and furry hair . ''

+ In 1307 Mansa Musa came to the throne after a series of civil wars and ruled for thirty years . During the peak of the kingdom , Mali was extremely wealthy . This was due to the tax on trade in and out of the empire , along with all the gold Mansa Musa had . He had so much gold that during his hajj to Mecca , the Mansa passed out gold to all the poor along the way . This led to inflation throughout the kingdom . Mansa Musa also ran out of gold on the hajj to Mecca but was not concerned because he knew he had enough gold back in Mali to pay back everything he owed money to . Trade was a significant factor to the rise and success of Mali . Mali flourished especially when Timbuktu came under Mansa Musa 's control . Timbuktu was a place of trade , entertainment , and education . The city 's water supply was a leading cause to its successes in trade . Mansa Musa placed a heavy tax on all objects that went through Timbuktu . Although this time in the kingdom was prosperous , Mali 's wealth and power soon declined . Mali was thriving for a long time , but like other western pre-colonial kingdom , Mali began to fall . Constant civil war between leaders led to a weakened state . These conflicts also interrupted trade . This is one of the main factors to the fall of the kingdom . Trade was Mali 's form of income , and wealth . With trade being disrupted by wars , there was no way for the economy to continue to prosper . As a result of this the empire fell .

+ Ashes are ceremonially placed on the heads of Christians on Ash Wednesday , either by being sprinkled over their heads or , in English - speaking countries , more often by being marked on their foreheads as a visible cross . The words ( based on Genesis 3 : 19 ) used traditionally to accompany this gesture are , `` Memento , homo , quia pulvis es , et in pulverem reverteris . '' ( `` Remember , man , that thou art dust , and to dust thou shalt return . '' ) This custom is credited to Pope Gregory I the Great ( c. 540 -- 604 ) . In the 1969 revision of the Roman Rite , an alternative formula ( based on Mark 1 : 15 ) was introduced and given first place `` Repent , and believe in the Gospel '' and the older formula was translated as `` Remember that you are dust , and to dust you shall return . '' The old formula , based on the words spoken to Adam and Eve after their sin , reminds worshippers of their sinfulness and mortality and thus , implicitly , of their need to repent in time . The newer formula makes explicit what was only implicit in the old .

+ Originally populated by the indigenous Taíno people , the island was claimed in 1493 by Christopher Columbus for Spain during his second voyage . Later it endured invasion attempts from the French , Dutch , and British . Four centuries of Spanish colonial government influenced the island 's cultural landscapes with waves of African slaves , Canarian , and Andalusian settlers . In the Spanish Empire , Puerto Rico played a secondary , but strategic role when compared to wealthier colonies like Peru and the mainland parts of New Spain . Spain 's distant administrative control continued up to the end of the 19th century , helping to produce a distinctive creole Hispanic culture and language that combined elements from the Native Americans , Africans , and Iberians . In 1898 , following the Spanish -- American War , the United States acquired Puerto Rico under the terms of the Treaty of Paris . The treaty took effect on April 11 , 1899 .

Mike often finds himself annoyed with Outdoor Man 's young slow - witted employee Kyle , and with Ryan , his politically liberal son - in - law and the father of Mike 's grandson Boyd . The video blog or `` vlog '' that Mike does for Outdoor Man is frequently used as a vehicle to rant about his political views .

- Molly Ephraim as Amanda Elaine `` Mandy '' Baxter - Anderson , the middle daughter : Mandy is nowhere near as intelligent as her sisters ( though her penchant for cutting class and ignoring homework might label her as voluntarily dumb ) , but excels in social situations . Interested in fashion ( and little else ) , she was one of the most popular girls at her high school . Mandy is very confident and creative , demonstrating traits found in her father . Unlike the rest of the family , she is lazy , conceited , selfish , insulting , and delinquent -- she drinks underage , ignores all driving laws , shoplifts from Outdoor Man , and has been caught staying out all night -- but occasionally displays moments of generosity and caring . She started dating Kyle in season 2 . As of season three , she is attending a local college and working at the diner where Kristin used to work . Later that same season , she begins an online clothing business , selling her self - designed fashions which she assembles in the basement of her parents ' house .

+ The earlier conceptions likely had little influence on 18th - century European geological explanations for the formation of Earth . Abraham Gottlob Werner ( 1749 -- 1817 ) proposed Neptunism , where strata represented deposits from shrinking seas precipitated onto primordial rocks such as granite .

+ The region does not have specific boundaries , but is generally considered to include the 71 miles ( 114 km ) segment of California State Route 1 from Malpaso Creek near Carmel Highlands south to San Carpóforo Creek near San Simeon and the entire Santa Lucia range between the rivers . The interior region is uninhabited , while the coast remains relatively isolated and sparsely populated with about 1,000 year - round residents and relatively few visitor accommodations scattered among four small settlements . When the region was ceded by Mexico to the United States in 1848 , it was the United States ' `` last frontier . '' The region remained one of the most isolated areas of California and the United States until , after 18 years of construction , the Carmel -- San Simeon Highway ( now signed as part of State Route 1 ) was completed in 1937 . The winding , narrow road , often cut into the face of seaside cliffs , dominates the visitor 's experience of Big Sur . The highway has been closed more than 55 times by slides , and in May 2017 , a 2 million cubic foot landslide blocked the highway at Mud Creek , north of Salmon Creek near the San Luis Obispo border , to just south of Gorda . The road is expected to be reopened in June 2018 .

+ In geology , uniformitarianism has included the gradualistic concept that `` the present is the key to the past '' ( that events occur at the same rate now as they have always done ) ; many geologists now , however , no longer hold to a strict theory of gradualism . Coined by William Whewell , the word was proposed in contrast to catastrophism by British naturalists in the late 18th century , starting with the work of the geologist James Hutton . Hutton 's work was later refined by scientist John Playfair and popularised by geologist Charles Lyell 's Principles of Geology in 1830 . Today , Earth 's history is considered to have been a slow , gradual process , punctuated by occasional natural catastrophic events .
+ The terms of the new agreement ended the practice of drafting high school players , starting in the 2006 Draft . A high school player must wait at least a year to be eligible for selection .

Emmanuel Mudiay decided to take a route similar to that of Brandon Jennings by skipping college to play professionally in China in 2014 before being selected by the Denver Nuggets at pick 7 a year later . In the 2015 draft , Satnam Singh Bhamara , who did not qualify academically to go to college , went straight to the NBA draft as a post-graduate after being at IMG Academy for five years . He would be taken by the Dallas Mavericks with the 52nd pick in the draft , thus becoming the first high school student to be drafted since the rule changes . In the 2016 draft , one of the Top -- 10 players that was declared eligible for NCAA play in 2016 , Thon Maker , decided to enter the draft instead as a post-graduate from Orangeville Prep in Orangeville , Ontario , Canada due to him originally declaring himself as eligible for college in 2015 . Thon would also mark the first player to be drafted directly from a Canadian high school , as well as the second player to enter as a post-graduate . He 'd also be the first high schooler to be drafted in the first round since 2005 , being drafted by the Milwaukee Bucks with the tenth pick in the draft , thus becoming the first high school lottery pick since 2005 . Most recently , in the 2018 draft , both Anfernee Simons and Thon 's brother , Matur Maker , are also looking to be drafted in the NBA , with Simons being a postgraduate and Maker 's decision relating to him being held back a year .

+ While most executive agencies have a single director , administrator , or secretary appointed by the President of the United States , independent agencies ( in the narrower sense of being outside presidential control ) almost always have a commission , board , or similar collegial body consisting of five to seven members who share power over the agency . ( This is why many independent agencies include the word `` Commission '' or `` Board '' in their name . ) The president appoints the commissioners or board members , subject to Senate confirmation , but they often serve terms that are staggered and longer than a four - year presidential term , meaning that most presidents will not have the opportunity to appoint all the commissioners of a given independent agency . The president can normally designate which commissioner will serve as the chairperson . Normally there are statutory provisions limiting the president 's authority to remove commissioners , typically for incapacity , neglect of duty , malfeasance , or other good cause . In addition , most independent agencies have a statutory requirement of bipartisan membership on the commission , so the president can not simply fill vacancies with members of his own political party .

His favorite elder brother , 16 - year - old Francis ( Christopher Masterson ) , has been packed off to military school for chronic misbehavior . At school Malcolm tries to keep his head down and avoid the school bully Spath , but his teachers spot his intelligence and testing reveals his I.Q. to be 165 . When Lois forces him to join the school 's gifted class , Malcolm objects because he does n't want to be bullied for being a `` Krelboyne '' .

+ Cell nuclei contain most of the cell 's genetic material , organized as multiple long linear DNA molecules in complex with a large variety of proteins , such as histones , to form chromosomes . The genes within these chromosomes are the cell 's nuclear genome and are structured in such a way to promote cell function . The nucleus maintains the integrity of genes and controls the activities of the cell by regulating gene expression -- the nucleus is , therefore , the control center of the cell . The main structures making up the nucleus are the nuclear envelope , a double membrane that encloses the entire organelle and isolates its contents from the cellular cytoplasm , and the nuclear matrix ( which includes the nuclear lamina ) , a network within the nucleus that adds mechanical support , much like the cytoskeleton , which supports the cell as a whole .
+ The City of San Antonio is one of the oldest Spanish colonization of the European settlements in Texas and was , for decades , its largest city .

+ Between 1877 and 1878 , Oscar Hertwig published several studies on the fertilization of sea urchin eggs , showing that the nucleus of the sperm enters the oocyte and fuses with its nucleus . This was the first time it was suggested that an individual develops from a ( single ) nucleated cell . This was in contradiction to Ernst Haeckel 's theory that the complete phylogeny of a species would be repeated during embryonic development , including generation of the first nucleated cell from a `` monerula '' , a structureless mass of primordial mucus ( `` Urschleim '' ) . Therefore , the necessity of the sperm nucleus for fertilization was discussed for quite some time . However , Hertwig confirmed his observation in other animal groups , including amphibians and molluscs . Eduard Strasburger produced the same results for plants in 1884 . This paved the way to assign the nucleus an important role in heredity . In 1873 , August Weismann postulated the equivalence of the maternal and paternal germ cells for heredity . The function of the nucleus as carrier of genetic information became clear only later , after mitosis was discovered and the Mendelian rules were rediscovered at the beginning of the 20th century ; the chromosome theory of heredity was therefore developed .

The mission San Antonio de Valero was established on the east bank of the creek and a presidio was 3 / 4 of a league downstream . Development of the Spanish colonial city followed . A trading post was also established near the presidio and the town developed as the capital of Tejas , a province of colonial Spain . It was the northernmost settlement associated with the Hispanic culture of the Valley of Mexico .
+ A common procedure is that after the cards have been shuffled , the dealer sets the cards face - down on the table near the player designated to make the cut , typically the player to the dealer 's right . That player initiates a cut of the deck by taking a contiguous range of cards off the top of the deck and placing it face - down on the table closer to the dealer ; the dealer completes the cut by taking the original bottom portion of the deck and placing it on top of the just - moved cards . Once the cut is complete , the dealer picks up the deck , straightens or `` squares '' it , and deals the cards .

Starring Sarah Jessica Parker ( as Carrie Bradshaw ) , Kim Cattrall ( as Samantha Jones ) , Kristin Davis ( as Charlotte York ) , and Cynthia Nixon ( as Miranda Hobbes ) , the quirky series had multiple continuing storylines that tackled relevant and modern social issues such as sexuality , safe sex , promiscuity , and femininity , while exploring the difference between friendships and romantic relationships . The deliberate omission of the better part of the early lives of the four women was the writers ' way of exploring social life -- from sex to relationships -- through each of their four very different , individual perspectives .

+ Many physicians are slow to refer to hospice care , waiting until they are absolutely certain of a terminal prognosis . Some physicians believe that the patient must have a six - month prognosis or less to receive hospice care , while others are overly optimistic in their assessment of prognosis , presuming treatment will be more effective than it is . As a result , the majority of patients are referred to hospice in the very end - stages of their diseases , or choose that time to seek hospice care . The average length of stay in hospice before a patient dies was 26 days in 1994 and 19 days in 1998 . Although the length of average stays has since increased , the term of care continues to be underused . In 2004 the average stay was 57 days and the median length was 22 days . 33 % of hospice patients admitted in 2004 died within seven days of admission .

+ During the first half of the twentieth century , John B. Watson devised methodological behaviorism , which rejected introspective methods and sought to understand behavior by only measuring observable behaviors and events . It was not until the 1930s that B.F. Skinner suggested that private events -- including thoughts and feelings -- should be subjected to the same controlling variables as observable behavior , which became the basis for his philosophy called radical behaviorism . While Watson and Ivan Pavlov investigated the stimulus - response procedures of classical conditioning , Skinner assessed the controlling nature of consequences and also its ' potential effect on the antecedents ( or discriminative stimuli ) that strengthens behavior ; the technique became known as operant conditioning .

+ Since at least the mid-19th century , numerous concepts for a union among Canada , Mexico and the United States of America , some including the Caribbean , the Central American and the South American countries , have been proposed , such as the North American Technate . Following the North American Free Trade Agreement ( NAFTA ) and the Maastricht Treaty going into effect there was speculation about the formation of a North American Union , similar to the European Union created by Maastricht , being a possible future step for the region . Several proposals for continental integration of North America advocated the creation of a union styled after the European Union , though many academic and business groups advocated less dramatic changes involving the formation of a customs union or common market .

+ A new design for ten - shilling notes was introduced in 1961 , with the old notes ceasing to be legal tender in 1962 . These new series C notes were slightly longer and narrower , and were the first ten - shilling notes to feature a portrait of Queen Elizabeth II on the front . The reverse design incorporated the logo of the Bank of England . In the late 1960s it was decided that future banknotes should feature a British historical figure on the reverse . The first such note was the series D £ 20 note , first issued in 1970 , featuring William Shakespeare . A design for a ten - shilling note featuring Walter Raleigh on the reverse was approved in 1964 but was never issued . Instead , in 1969 , as part of the process of decimalisation , a new fifty pence coin was introduced as a replacement for the ten - shilling note . The principal reason for the change was economy : the notes had an average lifetime of about five months whereas coins could last at least fifty years . The series C ten shilling notes ceased to be legal tender on 22 November 1970 .

Most of the early scenes of a desert - like terrain were shot in northern Arizona near the Grand Canyon , the Colorado River , Lake Powell , Glen Canyon and other locations near Page , Arizona Most scenes of the ape village , interiors and exteriors , were filmed on the Fox Ranch in Malibu Creek State Park , northwest of Los Angeles , essentially the backlot of 20th Century Fox . The concluding beach scenes were filmed on a stretch of California seacoast between Malibu and Oxnard with cliffs that towered 130 feet above the shore . Reaching the beach on foot was virtually impossible , so cast , crew , film equipment , and even horses had to be lowered in by helicopter . The home movies of Roddy McDowall ( on YouTube ) show makeup , the Ape Village set and the beach site / set - a wooden ramp was built around the point from Westward Beach to Pirates Cove for access to the beach set . The remains of the Statue of Liberty were shot in a secluded cove on the far eastern end of Westward Beach , between Zuma Beach and Point Dume in Malibu . As noted in the documentary Behind the Planet of the Apes , the special effect shot of the half - buried statue was achieved by seamlessly blending a matte painting with existing cliffs . The shot looking down at Taylor was done from a 70 - foot scaffold , angled over a 1 / 2 - scale papier - mache model of the Statue .

+ The vasomotor center ( VMC ) is a portion of the medulla oblongata that , together with the cardiovascular center and respiratory center , regulates blood pressure and other homeostatic processes . Vasomotor center is a fairly archaic term since this function relies not on a single brain structure ( `` center '' ) but rather represents a presympathetic network of interacting neurons . Upon increase in carbon dioxide level at central chemoreceptors , it stimulates the sympathetic system to constrict vessels . This is opposite to carbon dioxide in tissues causing vasodilatation , especially in the brain . Cranial nerves IX ( Glossopharyngeal nerve ) and X Vagus nerve both feed into the vasomotor centre and are themselves involved in the regulation of blood pressure . The localization of VMC was determined by Filipp Ovsyannikov in 1871 .

+ The Spearman correlation between two variables is equal to the Pearson correlation between the rank values of those two variables ; while Pearson 's correlation assesses linear relationships , Spearman 's correlation assesses monotonic relationships ( whether linear or not ) . If there are no repeated data values , a perfect Spearman correlation of + 1 or − 1 occurs when each of the variables is a perfect monotone function of the other .
+ While the phrase is commonly attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette , there is no record of her having said it . It appears in book six of Jean - Jacques Rousseau 's Confessions , his autobiography ( whose first six books were written in 1765 , when Marie Antoinette was nine years of age , and published in 1782 ) . The context of Rousseau 's account was his desire to have some bread to accompany some wine he had stolen ; however , feeling he was too elegantly dressed to go into an ordinary bakery , he recollected the words of a `` great princess '' :

+ From 1673 to 1674 , the territories were once again briefly captured by the Dutch in the Third Anglo -- Dutch War , only to be returned to England at the Treaty of Westminster . In 1674 , Dutch navy captain Jurriaen Aernoutsz also briefly captured two forts in the French colony of Acadia , which he claimed as Dutch territory the new colony of New Holland . However , Aernoutsz 's appointed administrator , John Rhoades , quickly lost control of the territory after Aernoutsz himself left for Curaçao to seek out new settlers , and with effective control of Acadia remaining in the hands of France , Dutch sovereignty existed only on paper until the Netherlands surrendered their claim in the Treaties of Nijmegen .

+ In anatomy , serous membrane ( or serosa ) is a smooth tissue membrane consisting of two layers of mesothelium , which secrete serous fluid . The inner layer that covers organs ( viscera ) in body cavities is called the visceral membrane . A second layer of epithelial cells of the serous membrane , called the parietal layer , lines the body wall . Between the two layers is a potential space , mostly empty except for a few milliliters of lubricating serous fluid that is secreted by the two serous membranes .
+ Each heavy chain and light chain gene contains multiple copies of three different types of gene segments for the variable regions of the antibody proteins . For example , the human immunoglobulin heavy chain region contains 2 Constant ( Cμ and Cδ ) gene segments and 44 Variable ( V ) gene segments , plus 27 Diversity ( D ) gene segments and 6 Joining ( J ) gene segments . The light chains also possess 2 Constant ( Cμ and Cδ ) gene segments and numerous V and J gene segments , but do not have D gene segments . DNA rearrangement causes one copy of each type of gene segment to go in any given lymphocyte , generating an enormous antibody repertoire ; roughly 3 × 10 combinations are possible , although some are removed due to self reactivity .

+ In 1858 Charles Darwin and Alfred Russel Wallace published a new evolutionary theory , explained in detail in Darwin 's On the Origin of Species ( 1859 ) . Unlike Lamarck , Darwin proposed common descent and a branching tree of life , meaning that two very different species could share a common ancestor . Darwin based his theory on the idea of natural selection : it synthesized a broad range of evidence from animal husbandry , biogeography , geology , morphology , and embryology . Debate over Darwin 's work led to the rapid acceptance of the general concept of evolution , but the specific mechanism he proposed , natural selection , was not widely accepted until it was revived by developments in biology that occurred during the 1920s through the 1940s . Before that time most biologists regarded other factors as responsible for evolution . Alternatives to natural selection suggested during `` the eclipse of Darwinism '' ( c. 1880 to 1920 ) included inheritance of acquired characteristics ( neo-Lamarckism ) , an innate drive for change ( orthogenesis ) , and sudden large mutations ( saltationism ) . Mendelian genetics , a series of 19th - century experiments with pea plant variations rediscovered in 1900 , was integrated with natural selection by Ronald Fisher , J.B.S. Haldane , and Sewall Wright during the 1910s to 1930s , and resulted in the founding of the new discipline of population genetics . During the 1930s and 1940s population genetics became integrated with other biological fields , resulting in a widely applicable theory of evolution that encompassed much of biology -- the modern synthesis .
+ The mucosa - associated lymphoid tissue ( MALT ) , also called mucosa - associated lymphatic tissue , is a diffuse system of small concentrations of lymphoid tissue found in various submucosal membrane sites of the body , such as the gastrointestinal tract , oral passage , nasopharyngeal tract , thyroid , breast , lung , salivary glands , eye , and skin . MALT is populated by lymphocytes such as T cells and B cells , as well as plasma cells and macrophages , each of which is well situated to encounter antigens passing through the mucosal epithelium . In the case of intestinal MALT , M cells are also present , which sample antigen from the lumen and deliver it to the lymphoid tissue .
+ According to figures gathered by Statista , a market data and statistics portal , while combined private labels sold more , in 2014 Blue Bell was the best - selling ice cream brand in the United States . The sales area is primarily concentrated in the Southern United States , and has been sold as far west as Las Vegas , as far north as Indianapolis and Denver , and as far east as Richmond , Virginia . Overall , this area comprises only 20 % of the United States . By comparison , each of Blue Bell 's top four competitors sells its products in over 86 % of the United States . To become one of the three biggest ice cream manufacturers , Blue Bell has consistently been the top seller in the majority of the markets the company has entered . For example , in its home state of Texas , the company has a 52 % market share . Within five months of its entry into Baton Rouge , Louisiana , the company had garnered 35 % of the ice cream market . People living outside the sales area can have the ice cream shipped to them ( although this has temporarily been halted while the company is ramping up production after the recalls ) , and former President George W. Bush ( a former Governor of Texas ) often had the ice cream shipped to Camp David during his administration . In 2006 and 2012 , astronauts aboard the International Space Station were also treated to Blue Bell ice cream `` to help out ( the crew 's ) happiness quotient . ''
+ The book is set at the end of the nineteenth century . The protagonist is a 14 - year - old boy named Jay Berry Lee , who had enjoyed an idyllic childhood . Born to Missouri sharecroppers , he moves with his family to Oklahoma after his grandfather offers them free land . Daisy , his sister , has a crippled leg , and they devote much effort to gaining enough money to pay for reconstructive surgery . One day , while looking for their lost milk cow , Jay Berry discovers monkeys in a nearby river bottom . Visiting his grandfather 's store , he learns that they have escaped from a travelling circus , which has offered a vast reward for their capture : $100 for the chief monkey , `` Jimbo '' , and $2 each for the others . Jay Berry makes multiple attempts to capture them using traps and a net borrowed from his grandfather , but he gains only scratches and bites from them , at one point even losing his pants in the process .

+ Although PCH advertises its sweepstakes along with magazine subscriptions , no purchase is necessary to enter or win . In 1995 , PCH began the tradition of announcing winners of its $10 million prize just after the Super Bowl . As of 2012 , $225 million in prizes have been distributed . Some of its larger prizes are for $5,000 a week for life , or $10 million . Prizes can also range from $1 Amazon gift cards to $2,500 , $1 million or $3 million . The larger cash prizes are paid in installments , typically with a balloon payment at 30 years , reducing the present value of prizes to much less than their nominal values .
+ The epic , traditionally ascribed to the Hindu sage Valmiki , narrates the life of Rama , the legendary prince of the Kosala Kingdom .

+- Ewan McGregor as Rory Green , the father of the Greens , away fighting in World War II .
+ Unlike passive transport , which uses the kinetic energy and natural entropy of molecules moving down a gradient , active transport uses cellular energy to move them against a gradient , polar repulsion , or other resistance . Active transport is usually associated with accumulating high concentrations of molecules that the cell needs , such as ions , glucose and amino acids . If the process uses chemical energy , such as from adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , it is termed primary active transport . Secondary active transport involves the use of an electrochemical gradient . Examples of active transport include the uptake of glucose in the intestines in humans and the uptake of mineral ions into root hair cells of plants .
+ The primary motor cortex ( Brodmann area 4 ) is a brain region that in humans is located in the dorsal portion of the frontal lobe . It is the primary region of the motor system and works in association with other motor areas including premotor cortex , the supplementary motor area , posterior parietal cortex , and several subcortical brain regions , to plan and execute movements . Primary motor cortex is defined anatomically as the region of cortex that contains large neurons known as Betz cells . Betz cells , along with other cortical neurons , send long axons down the spinal cord to synapse onto the interneuron circuitry of the spinal cord and also directly onto the alpha motor neurons in the spinal cord which connect to the muscles .
+ At the primary motor cortex , motor representation is orderly arranged ( in an inverted fashion ) from the toe ( at the top of the cerebral hemisphere ) to mouth ( at the bottom ) along a fold in the cortex called the central sulcus . However , some body parts may be controlled by partially overlapping regions of cortex . Each cerebral hemisphere of the primary motor cortex only contains a motor representation of the opposite ( contralateral ) side of the body . The amount of primary motor cortex devoted to a body part is not proportional to the absolute size of the body surface , but , instead , to the relative density of cutaneous motor receptors on said body part . The density of cutaneous motor receptors on the body part is generally indicative of the necessary degree of precision of movement required at that body part . For this reason , the human hands and face have a much larger representation than the legs .
+ Orographic lift occurs when an air mass is forced from a low elevation to a higher elevation as it moves over rising terrain . As the air mass gains altitude it quickly cools down adiabatically , which can raise the relative humidity to 100 % and create clouds and , under the right conditions , precipitation .
+ Bruno is a 9 - year - old boy growing up during World War II in Berlin . He lives with his parents , his 12 - year - old sister Gretel and maids , one of whom is called Maria . After a visit by Adolf Hitler , Bruno 's father is promoted to Commandant , and the family has to move to `` Out - With '' because of the orders of `` The Fury '' ( Bruno 's naïve interpretation of the word ' Führer ' ) . Bruno is initially upset about moving to Out - With ( in actuality , Auschwitz ) and leaving his friends , Daniel , Karl , and Martin . From the house at Out - With , Bruno sees a camp in which the prisoners wear striped pyjamas . One day , Bruno decides to explore the strange wire fence . As he walks along the fence , he meets a Jewish boy named Shmuel , who he learns shares his birthday . Shmuel says that his father , grandfather , and brother are with him on this side of the fence , but he is separated from his mother . Bruno and Shmuel talk and become very good friends , although Bruno still does not understand very much about Shmuel and his side of the fence . Nearly every day , unless it 's raining , Bruno goes to see Shmuel and sneaks him food . As the meetings go on , and Shmuel gets more and more skinny , Bruno 's naïveté means he never realizes he is living beside a death camp .
+ The block names ( s , p , d , f and g ) are derived from the spectroscopic notation for the associated atomic orbitals : sharp , principal , diffuse and fundamental , and then g which follows f in the alphabet .
+ `` What Child Is This ? '' is a Christmas carol whose lyrics were written by William Chatterton Dix , in 1865 . At the time of composing the carol , Dix worked as an insurance company manager and had been struck by a severe illness . While recovering , he underwent a spiritual renewal that led him to write several hymns , including lyrics to this carol that was subsequently set to the tune of `` Greensleeves '' , a traditional English folk song . Although it was written in Great Britain , the carol is more popular in the United States than in its country of origin today .
+ The Eagles had far and away the best team in the NFC and proved that right from the start . Possessing a high - powered offense which featured McNabb , Owens , and Brian Westbrook , as well as a bruising defense led by Pro Bowlers Trotter , Brian Dawkins , Lito Sheppard , and Michael Lewis , they steamrolled opponents on the way to a 13 -- 1 start to the season . After resting starters for the final two games , the 13 -- 3 Eagles soared past the Minnesota Vikings and the Atlanta Falcons in the playoffs , earning a trip to Super Bowl XXXIX in Jacksonville against the defending champion New England Patriots . The game was hard fought , but the Eagles fell 24 -- 21 , ending their magical season one score short of the ultimate goal . This season was considered the franchise 's most successful until their Super Bowl LII - winning 2017 season .
+ The Great Fire of London was a major conflagration that swept through the central parts of the English city of London from Sunday , 2 September to Wednesday , 5 September 1666 .

+ Originally , Spielberg suggested Harrison Ford ; Lucas resisted the idea , since he had already cast the actor in American Graffiti , Star Wars and The Empire Strikes Back , and did not want Ford to become known as his `` Bobby De Niro '' ( in reference to the fact that fellow director Martin Scorsese regularly casts Robert De Niro in his films ) . During an intensive casting process , Lucas and Spielberg auditioned many actors , and finally cast actor Tom Selleck as Indiana Jones . Shortly afterward pre-production began in earnest on Raiders of the Lost Ark . However , CBS refused to release Selleck from his contractual commitment to Magnum , P.I. ( which was gradually gaining momentum in the ratings ) , forcing him to turn down the role . One of CBS 's concerns was that shooting for Magnum P.I. conflicted with shooting for Raiders , both of which were to begin about the same time . However , Selleck was to say later in an interview that shooting for Magnum P.I. was delayed and did not actually begin until shooting for Raiders had concluded .
+ Believing that a constitutional agreement was possible , Mulroney called a conference for April 30 , 1987 , with provincial premiers at Willson House , Meech Lake , in the Gatineau Hills .

Other officials were kept downstairs and the media was locked out of the negotiation process .
+ The vacuum flask consists of two flasks , placed one within the other and joined at the neck . The gap between the two flasks is partially evacuated of air , creating a partial - vacuum which reduces heat conduction or convection . Heat transfer by thermal radiation may be minimized by silvering flask surfaces facing the gap but can become problematic if the flask 's contents or surroundings are very hot ; hence vacuum flasks usually hold contents below the boiling point of water . Most heat transfer occurs through the neck and opening of the flask , where there is no vacuum . Vacuum flasks are usually made of metal , borosilicate glass , foam or plastic and have their opening stoppered with cork or polyethylene plastic . Vacuum flasks are often used as insulated shipping containers .
+ The UN General Assembly adopted the Convention and opened it for signature on 20 November 1989 ( the 30th anniversary of its Declaration of the Rights of the Child ) .

+ A patent does not give a right to make or use or sell an invention . Rather , a patent provides , from a legal standpoint , the right to exclude others from making , using , selling , offering for sale , or importing the patented invention for the term of the patent , which is usually 20 years from the filing date subject to the payment of maintenance fees . From an economic and practical standpoint however , a patent is better and perhaps more precisely regarded as conferring upon its proprietor `` a right to try to exclude by asserting the patent in court '' , for many granted patents turn out to be invalid once their proprietors attempt to assert them in court . A patent is a limited property right the government gives inventors in exchange for their agreement to share details of their inventions with the public . Like any other property right , it may be sold , licensed , mortgaged , assigned or transferred , given away , or simply abandoned .
+ `` Piece by Piece '' is a song by American singer Kelly Clarkson taken from her seventh studio album of the same name . She co-wrote the track with its producer Greg Kurstin . A midtempo pop song about restoring someone 's faith in love and family relationships , Clarkson promulgated `` Piece by Piece '' as a sequel to the song `` Because of You '' ( 2004 ) but with a `` happy ending '' . After a discussion with her sister about their family life , she introspectively co-wrote the song in a first - person narrative to her father , whose neglect of his family was used as a juxtaposition to her husband 's unconditional love for her and their daughter , whom they both promised to never abandon .

+ The Boston Tea Party was a political protest and mercantile protest by the Sons of Liberty in Boston , Massachusetts , on December 16 , 1773 . In defiance of the Tea Act of May 10 , 1773 , which allowed the British East India company to sell tea from China in American colonies without paying any taxes , thus undercutting local tea merchants , the demonstrators , some disguised as Native Americans , destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company .
+ UConn owns the two longest winning streaks , any gender , in college basketball history . The longest streak , 111 straight wins , started with a win against Creighton on November 23 , 2014 , and ended on March 31 , 2017 when a buzzer - beater at the end of the overtime caused a loss in the 2017 NCAA Final Four by Mississippi State . The second streak counts 90 consecutive wins , including two undefeated seasons ( 2008 -- 09 and 2009 -- 10 ) , and was delimited by two losses against Stanford , the first on April 6 , 2008 in the National Semifinals of the NCAA Tournament , and the second -- three seasons later -- on December 19 , 2010 .
+ In every colony except Massachusetts , protesters were able to force the tea consignees to resign or to return the tea to England . In Boston , however , Governor Hutchinson was determined to hold his ground . He convinced the tea consignees , two of whom were his sons , not to back down .
+ As it does in English , it can refer to either peace between two entities ( especially between man and God or between two countries ) , or to the well - being , welfare or safety of an individual or a group of individuals . Stendebach and Ringgren writes that a more thorough etymological analysis of Hebrew roots reveal that ' Lom was the basic root word for Shalom . The word shalom is also found in many other expressions and names . Its equivalent cognate in Arabic is salaam , sliem in Maltese , Shlama in Syriac - Assyrian and sälam in Ethiopian Semitic languages from the Proto - Semitic root Š - L-M .
+ Ukraine borders with seven countries : Poland , Slovakia , Hungary , Romania , Moldova , Russia , and Belarus . The total length of the Ukrainian border is 6,992.98 km ( 4,345.24 mi ) . In reality Ukraine does not have real established and ratified borders with Russia , Belarus , and Moldova ( republics of the former Soviet Union ) . The borders with other countries were inherited from the Soviet border patrol service which was recreated into the Ukrainian after the fall of the Soviet Union .
+ The only source of information on the First Temple is the Tanakh . According to the biblical sources , the temple was constructed under Solomon , during the united monarchy of Israel and Judah . The Bible describes Hiram I of Tyre who furnished architects , workmen and cedar timbers for the temple of his ally Solomon at Jerusalem . He also co-operated with Solomon in mounting an expedition on the Red Sea . 1 Kings 6 : 1 puts the date of the beginning of building the temple `` in the fourth year of Solomon 's reign over Israel '' . The conventional dates of Solomon 's reign are circa 970 to 931 BCE . This puts the date of its construction in the mid-10th century BCE . Schmid and Rupprecht are of the view that the site of the temple used to be a Jebusite shrine which Solomon chose in an attempt to unify the Jebusites and Israelites. 1 Kings 9 : 10 says that it took Solomon 20 years altogether to build the Temple and his royal palace . The Temple itself finished being built after 7 years . During the united monarchy the Temple was dedicated to Yahweh , the God of Israel , and housed the Ark of the Covenant . Rabbinic sources state that the First Temple stood for 410 years and , based on the 2nd - century work Seder Olam Rabbah , place construction in 832 BCE and destruction in 422 BCE ( 3338 AM ) , 165 years later than secular estimates .

+ At Montreal , the participants agreed to freeze production of CFCs at 1986 levels and to reduce production by 50 percent by 1999 . After a series of scientific expeditions to the Antarctic produced convincing evidence that the ozone hole was indeed caused by chlorine and bromine from manmade organohalogens , the Montreal Protocol was strengthened at a 1990 meeting in London . The participants agreed to phase out CFCs and halons entirely ( aside from a very small amount marked for certain `` essential '' uses , such as asthma inhalers ) by 2000 in non-Article 5 countries and by 2010 in Article 5 ( less developed ) signatories . At a 1992 meeting in Copenhagen , the phase - out date was moved up to 1996 . At the same meeting , methyl bromide ( MeBr ) , a fumigant used primarily in agricultural production , was added to the list of controlled substances . For all substances controlled under the protocol , phaseout schedules were delayed for less developed ( ' Article 5 ( 1 ) ' ) countries , and phaseout in these countries was supported by transfers of expertise , technology , and money from non-Article 5 ( 1 ) Parties to the Protocol . Additionally , exemptions from the agreed schedules could be applied for under the Essential Use Exemption ( EUE ) process for substances other than methyl bromide and under the Critical Use Exemption ( CUE ) process for methyl bromide .
+ Most sandstone is composed of quartz or feldspar because they are the most resistant minerals to weathering processes at the Earth 's surface , as seen in Bowen 's reaction series . Like uncemented sand , sandstone may be any color due to impurities within the minerals , but the most common colors are tan , brown , yellow , red , grey , pink , white , and black .

+- Quartz arenites are sandstones that contain more than 90 % of siliceous grains . Grains can include quartz or chert rock fragments . Quartz arenites are texturally mature to supermature sandstones . These pure quartz sands result from extensive weathering that occurred before and during transport . This weathering removed everything but quartz grains , the most stable mineral . They are commonly affiliated with rocks that are deposited in a stable cratonic environment , such as aeolian beaches or shelf environments . Quartz arenites emanate from multiple recycling of quarts grains , generally as sedimentary source rocks and less regularly as first - cycle deposits derived from primary igneous or metamorphic rocks .
+ Later in the film , Walter starts to question whether he is man , which he was believed to be his entire life , or actually a Muppet , which was why he always felt a strong connection towards them . This emotion eventually leads him to sing the Academy Award - winning song , `` Man or Muppet '' , where the human version of Walter is portrayed by actor Jim Parsons . The scene is pivotal to the character 's arc as it resolves Walter 's internal issues with himself . The character 's solo act of whistling in the telethon 's finale was performed by musician Andrew Bird . At the conclusion of the film , Walter deduces that he is a Muppet , adopts whistling as his sole talent and joins the group as their newest member .

+ According to tradition , the Nusaybah family took its name from a female companion or Sahabah of the Islamic prophet Muhammad named Nusaybah bint Ka'ab . She was a member of the Ansar who transferred their political power over Medina to the prophet . Nusaybah fought along with Muhammed in battle and was an early example of women taking leadership roles in Islam . Since the arrival of Islam in Jerusalem in the seventh century , the Sunni Muslim family has held the keys of the Church of the Holy Sepulchre alongside the Joudeh Al - Goudia family ( who were added to the original arrangement in the time of Saladin , the Muslim conqueror who seized the holy city from the Crusaders in 1187 ) . This arrangement emerged during the days of the second Sunni caliph Umar Ibn al - Khattab , who hoped to avoid clashes among rival Christian sects for control over the church . Although symbolic , the arrangement has provided the stability the Christians of the city needed , and is a symbol of tolerance and inter-religious harmony , and gave the Nusaybah family a visible role in Christian activities in Jerusalem , which include pilgrimages and visits by Western Christians .
+ The FIFA World Cup is an international association football competition established in 1930 .

+ The Internet protocol suite ( TCP / IP ) was developed by Robert E. Kahn and Vint Cerf in the 1970s and became the standard networking protocol on the ARPANET , incorporating concepts from the French CYCLADES project directed by Louis Pouzin . In the early 1980s the NSF funded the establishment for national supercomputing centers at several universities , and provided interconnectivity in 1986 with the NSFNET project , which also created network access to the supercomputer sites in the United States from research and education organizations . Commercial Internet service providers ( ISPs ) began to emerge in the very late 1980s . The ARPANET was decommissioned in 1990 . Limited private connections to parts of the Internet by officially commercial entities emerged in several American cities by late 1989 and 1990 , and the NSFNET was decommissioned in 1995 , removing the last restrictions on the use of the Internet to carry commercial traffic .
+ A boost in web users was triggered in September 1993 by NCSA Mosaic , a graphical browser which eventually ran on several popular office and home computers . This was the first web browser aiming to bring multimedia content to non-technical users , and therefore included images and text on the same page , unlike previous browser designs ; its founder , Marc Andreessen , also established the company that in 1994 , released Netscape Navigator , which resulted in one of the early browser wars , when it ended up in a competition for dominance ( which it lost ) with Microsoft Windows ' Internet Explorer . Commercial use restrictions were lifted in 1995 . The online service America Online ( AOL ) offered their users a connection to the Internet via their own internal browser .
+ The primary catalyst for secession was slavery , especially Southern political leaders ' resistance to attempts by Northern antislavery political forces to block the expansion of slavery into the western territories . Another explanation for secession , and the subsequent formation of the Confederacy , was white Southern nationalism . The primary reason for the North to reject secession was to preserve the Union , a cause based on American nationalism . Most of the debate is about the first question , as to why some southern states decided to secede .
+ Creatine is not an essential nutrient as it is naturally produced in the human body from the amino acids glycine and arginine . In the first step of the biosynthesis these two amino acids are combined by the enzyme arginine : glycine amidinotransferase ( AGAT , EC : 2.1. 4.1 ) to form guanidinoacetate , which is then methylated by guanidinoacetate N - methyltransferase ( GAMT , EC : 2.1. 1.2 ) , using S - adenosyl methionine as the methyl donor . Creatine itself can be phosphorylated by creatine kinase to form phosphocreatine , which is used as an energy buffer in skeletal muscles and the brain .
+ A patent is a set of exclusive rights granted by a sovereign state or intergovernmental organization to an inventor or assignee for a limited period of time in exchange for detailed public disclosure of an invention .

+ The Lincoln Highway was one of the earliest transcontinental highways for automobiles across the United States of America . Conceived in 1912 by Indiana entrepreneur Carl G. Fisher , and formally dedicated October 31 , 1913 , the Lincoln Highway ran coast - to - coast from Times Square in New York City west to Lincoln Park in San Francisco , originally through 13 states : New York , New Jersey , Pennsylvania , Ohio , Indiana , Illinois , Iowa , Nebraska , Colorado , Wyoming , Utah , Nevada , and California . In 1915 , the `` Colorado Loop '' was removed , and in 1928 , a realignment relocated the Lincoln Highway through the northern tip of West Virginia . Thus , there are a total of 14 states , 128 counties , and more than 700 cities , towns and villages through which the highway passed at some time in its history .
+ As Chicano studies programs began to be implemented at universities , it was necessary to provide infrastructure and support . In 1973 , the University of California , Berkeley recognized the need to provide quality library materials to support the Chicano studies programs . Chicano scholars also recognized the need to have a `` Chicano - controlled academic '' space . Researchers began to study the impact that these new programs had on students , finding that Mexican - American students responded positively to Chicano studies and also to bilingual classes . Many scholars felt that the philosophy of education in the United States at the time was `` inconsistent with the values of the Chicano movement '' and that Chicano studies needed to create tools for students to use in the real world and also a new type of research to solve problems . It was also important to find ways to recruit Chicano teachers and administration within the schools to support students and research . Further support for Chicano studies came in the form of the National Association for Chicana and Chicano Studies ( NACCS ) which was created in 1972 in San Antonio , Texas . The NACCS allows scholars in Chicano studies to exchange ideas , share research , communicate and it also has an annual conference . The conferences were important to help bring together scholars and legitimize Chicano studies , since other disciplines have similar annual conferences .

+ Infiltration is the process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil . Infiltration rate in soil science is a measure of the rate at which soil is able to absorb rainfall or irrigation . It is most often measured in millimetres per hour or inches per hour . The rate decreases as the soil becomes saturated . If the precipitation rate exceeds the infiltration rate , runoff will usually occur unless there is some physical barrier . It is related to the saturated hydraulic conductivity of the near - surface soil . The rate of infiltration can be measured using an infiltrometer .

+- Display : The Explorer version of Google Glass uses a liquid crystal on silicon ( LCoS ) ( based on an LCoS chip from Himax ) , field - sequential color system , LED illuminated display . The display 's LED illumination is first P - polarized and then shines through the in - coupling polarizing beam splitter ( PBS ) to the LCoS panel . The panel reflects the light and alters it to S - polarization at active pixel sensor sites . The in - coupling PBS then reflects the S - polarized areas of light at 45 ° through the out - coupling beam splitter to a collimating reflector at the other end . Finally , the out - coupling beam splitter ( which is a partially reflecting mirror , not a polarizing beam splitter ) reflects the collimated light another 45 ° and into the wearer 's eye .

+ In photosynthesis , the light - dependent reactions take place on the thylakoid membranes . The inside of the thylakoid membrane is called the lumen , and outside the thylakoid membrane is the stroma , where the light - independent reactions take place . The thylakoid membrane contains some integral membrane protein complexes that catalyze the light reactions . There are four major protein complexes in the thylakoid membrane : Photosystem II ( PSII ) , Cytochrome b6f complex , Photosystem I ( PSI ) , and ATP synthase . These four complexes work together to ultimately create the products ATP and NADPH .

+- In a small percentage of cases , Down syndrome is caused by a rearrangement of chromosomal material between chromosome 21 and another chromosome . As a result , a person has the usual two copies of chromosome 21 , plus extra material from chromosome 21 attached to another chromosome . These cases are called translocation Down syndrome . Researchers believe that extra copies of genes on chromosome 21 disrupt the course of normal development , causing the characteristic features of Down syndrome and the increased risk of medical problems associated with this disorder .
+ The founder of the Mughal empire , Babur , described his favourite type of garden as a charbagh . They use the term bāgh , baug , bageecha or bagicha for garden . This word developed a new meaning in India , as Babur explains ; India lacked the fast - flowing streams required for the Central Asian charbagh . The Agra garden , which was renamed after Partition of India as the Ram Bagh , since it lied in Hindu majority portion is thought to have been the first charbagh . India , Bangladesh and Pakistan have a number of Mughal gardens which differ from their Central Asian predecessors with respect to `` the highly disciplined geometry '' . An early textual references about Mughal gardens are found in the memoirs and biographies of the Mughal emperors , including those of Babur , Humayun and Akbar . Later references are found from `` the accounts of India '' written by various European travellers ( Bernier for example ) . The first serious historical study of Mughal gardens was written by Constance Villiers - Stuart , with the title Gardens of the Great Mughals ( 1913 ) . Her husband was a Colonel in Britain 's Indian army . This gave her a good network of contacts and an opportunity to travel . During their residence at Pinjore Gardens , Mrs. Villiers - Stuart also had an opportunity to direct the maintenance of an important Mughal garden . Her book makes reference to the forthcoming design of a garden in the Government House at New Delhi ( now known as Rashtrapati Bhavan ) . She was consulted by Edwin Lutyens , and this may have influenced his choice of Mughal style for this project . Recent scholarly work on the history of Mughal gardens has been carried out under the auspicious guidance of Dumbarton Oaks ( including Mughal Gardens : Sources , Places , Representations , and Prospects edited by James L. Wescoat , Jr. and Joachim Wolschke - Bulmahn ) and the Smithsonian Institution . Some examples of Mughal gardens are Shalimar Gardens ( Lahore ) , Lalbagh Fort at Dhaka , and Shalimar Bagh ( Srinagar ) .

+ Sympathetic nervous system stimulation causes vasoconstriction of most blood vessels , including many of those in the skin , the digestive tract , and the kidneys . This occurs as a result of activation of alpha - 1 adrenergic receptors by norepinephrine released by post-ganglionic sympathetic neurons . These receptors exist throughout the vasculature of the body but are inhibited and counterbalanced by beta - 2 adrenergic receptors ( stimulated by epinephrine release from the adrenal glands ) in the skeletal muscles , the heart , the lungs , and the brain during a sympathoadrenal response . The net effect of this is a shunting of blood away from the organs not necessary to the immediate survival of the organism and an increase in blood flow to those organs involved in intense physical activity .
+ After crossing Cuba near Menelao Mora , Hurricane Charley accelerated to the north - northeast , toward the southwest coast of Florida in response to the approach of an unseasonal mid-tropospheric trough . Charley passed over the Dry Tortugas at 1200 UTC on August 13 , with maximum winds of about 110 mph ( 180 km / h ) . The strike occurred only 22 hours after Tropical Storm Bonnie made landfall on St. Vincent Island , marking the first time two tropical cyclones hit the same state within a 24 - hour period . Then Charley rapidly intensified , strengthening from a 110 mph ( 180 km / h ) hurricane with a minimum central barometric pressure of 965 mbar ( hPa ; 28.50 inHg ) to a 145 mph ( 233 km / h ) hurricane with a pressure of 947 mbar ( hPa ; 27.96 inHg ) in just three hours . It continued to strengthen as it turned more to the northeast , and made landfall near the island of Cayo Costa , Florida as a 150 mph ( 240 km / h ) Category 4 hurricane with a pressure of 941 mbar ( hPa ; 27.79 inHg ) at approximately 1945 UTC on August 13 . An hour later , the hurricane struck Punta Gorda as a 145 mph ( 233 km / h ) storm and then passed up through Port Charlotte . However , the eye had shrunk before landfall , limiting the most powerful winds to an area within 7 mi ( 11 km ) of the center .

+ Created by directors and screenwriters Ron Clements and John Musker , Ursula is based on the sea witch character who appears in the fairy tale `` The Little Mermaid '' by Hans Christian Andersen . However , her minor role was greatly expanded into that of a much more prominent villain for the film . Disney had struggled to cast Ursula for a year , during which the role was well sought after by several coveted television actresses at the time . Clements and Musker disagreed with lyricist Howard Ashman about who should voice the character . While the directors had written the role with Bea Arthur in mind , Ashman intended to offer it to soap opera star Joan Collins ; both actresses rejected the part . When Ashman cast his second choice , Broadway actress Elaine Stritch , as Ursula , both stage veterans disagreed about the manner in which Ursula 's song `` Poor Unfortunate Souls '' would be performed , and Pat Carroll was finally hired to replace Stritch after Ashman fired her . Deepening her own voice for the role , Carroll based her performance on a combination of Shakespearean actresses and car salespeople .

+ In biology , cell theory is the historic scientific theory , now universally accepted , that living organisms are made up of cells . Cells are the basic unit of structure in all organisms and also the basic unit of reproduction . With continual improvements made to microscopes over time , magnification technology advanced enough to discover cells in the 17th century . This discovery is largely attributed to Robert Hooke , and began the scientific study of cells , also known as cell biology . Over a century later , many debates about cells began amongst scientists . Most of these debates involved the nature of cellular regeneration , and the idea of cells as a fundamental unit of life . Cell theory was eventually formulated in 1839 . This is usually credited to Matthias Schleiden and Theodor Schwann . However , many other scientists like Rudolf Virchow contributed to the theory .

+ Work on the new mint began in August 1967 with the construction of a blank treatment plant and plant for striking . This first phase of the mint was officially opened on 17 December 1968 by the royal attendance of Queen Elizabeth II , Prince Philip and their son Prince Charles . Originally there were fears that the Royal family would face protests because of the Investiture of Prince Charles as the Prince of Wales ; however , such protests failed to materialise . The second phase of construction began in 1973 and included the addition of a means to mint coins from virgin metals completing the full minting process . Upon completion the final cost for the land , buildings and plant came to £ 8 million . Coin minting and production gradually shifted to the new site over the next seven years until the last coin , a gold sovereign , was struck in London in November 1975 . In an attempt to consolidate all previous coin - related acts , the Coinage Act of 1971 was passed , which among other things effectively abolished the individual role of Master of the Mint . Under this act , the Chancellor of the Exchequer took over the role , with a Deputy Master being appointed by the Treasury to exercise all the powers and duties of the Master within the mint .

+ The Royal Mint is a government - owned mint that produces coins for the United Kingdom . Operating under the name Royal Mint Ltd , the mint is a limited company that is wholly owned by Her Majesty 's Treasury and is under an exclusive contract to supply all the nation 's coinage . As well as minting circulating coins for use domestically and internationally , the mint also produces planchets , commemorative coins , various types of medals and precious metal bullion . The mint exports to an average of 60 countries a year , making up 70 % of its total sales . Formed over 1,100 years ago , the mint was historically part of a series of mints that became centralised to produce coins for the Kingdom of England , all of Great Britain and eventually most of the British Empire . The original London mint from which the Royal Mint is the successor , was established in 886 AD and operated within the Tower of London for approximately 800 years before moving to what is now called Royal Mint Court where it remained until the 1960s . As Britain followed the rest of the world in decimalising its currency , the Mint moved from London to a new 38 acres ( 15 ha ) plant in Llantrisant , Wales where it has remained since .
+ The Qur'an admonishes Muslim women to dress modestly and cover their breasts and genitals but it does n't require covering the head . The Qur'an explicitly states that `` O wives of the Prophet , you are not like anyone among women '' and as such has separate rules specifically for the wives of the Prophet . Wearing hijab , or al - khimar , is considered by some to be obligatory in Islam , as the quote states `` Tell the believing women to put their khimar over their bosoms '' , all the major Arab translations and dictionaries agree that `` al - khimar '' means a veil or scarf that a woman uses to cover her head , and `` over their bosoms '' implies women should cover their breasts , necks etc .
+ Islamic dress in Europe , notably the variety of headdresses worn by Muslim women , has become a prominent symbol of the presence of Islam in western Europe . In several countries the adherence to hijab ( an Arabic noun meaning `` to cover '' ) has led to political controversies and proposals for a legal ban . The Netherlands government has decided to introduce a ban on face - covering clothing , popularly described as the `` burqa ban '' , although it does not only apply to the Afghan - model burqa . Other countries , such as France and Australia are debating similar legislation , or have more limited prohibitions . Some of them apply only to face - covering clothing such as the burqa , chador , boushiya , or niqab ; some apply to any clothing with an Islamic religious symbolism such as the khimar , a type of headscarf ( some countries already have laws banning the wearing of masks in public , which can be applied to veils that conceal the face ) . The issue has different names in different countries , and `` the veil '' or `` hijab '' may be used as general terms for the debate , representing more than just the veil itself , or the concept of modesty embodied in hijab .

The league made the change in response to social media campaigns that resulted in mediocre players such as journeyman Zaza Pachulia nearly being voted as All - Star starters over more deserving players. , Prior to 2013 , fans selected two forwards and one center instead of generic frontcourt players . The NBA in 2003 began offering All - Star ballots in three languages -- English , Spanish and Chinese -- for fan voting of the starters .
+ In 1999 the contribution of civil aircraft - in - flight to global CO emissions was estimated to be around 2 % . However , in the case of high - altitude airliners which frequently fly near or in the stratosphere , non-CO altitude - sensitive effects may increase the total impact on anthropogenic ( human - made ) climate change significantly . A 2007 report from Environmental Change Institute / Oxford University posits a range closer to 4 percent cumulative effect . Subsonic aircraft - in - flight contribute to climate change in four ways :

+ The San Jose Sharks are a professional ice hockey team based in San Jose , California . They are members of the Pacific Division of the Western Conference of the National Hockey League ( NHL ) . The franchise is owned by San Jose Sports & Entertainment Enterprises .

The SAP Center is known locally as the Shark Tank .
+ During production of The Little Mermaid , Ursula 's design evolved and transformed dramatically . Animator Glen Keane 's earliest sketches of Ursula were drawn to resemble Rae , specifically based on the actress ' audition for the role . The short - lived casting of Stritch as Ursula and her subsequent performance eventually inspired the animators to design the character as `` a tall , thin regal - looking sea witch '' based on manta rays and scorpion fish , complete with a long cape . At one point , Ursula had also been drawn with spikes to resemble a spinefish . Ursula 's appearance was largely inspired by American actor and drag queen Divine , who was best known for his frequent appearances in several films directed by filmmaker John Waters . Similarities were first drawn between the character and the actor after animator Rob Minkoff sketched `` a vampy overweight matron '' , to which Ashman responded , `` She looks like a Miami Beach matron ... playing Mah Jong by the pool . '' The character shares Divine 's signature eye makeup , jewelry and body type while originally sporting a Mohawk , the last of which was borrowed from the actor 's Pink Flamingo s ( 1972 ) character Babs Johnson . However , Minkoff had been drawing the character with a shark 's tale at the time . Clements eventually decided to place Ursula 's head on top of the body of an octopus instead , which ultimately resulted in her current design . The animators then studied the way in which octopuses move , explaining , `` There was a very kind of seductive and yet scary aspect '' , which they incorporated into the character 's own gait . The Pink Flamingos - inspired Mohawk was ultimately discarded because Disney felt that the hairstyle was `` too over-the - top '' for the film . Additionally , Ursula 's face was also inspired by that of Madame Medusa from Disney 's The Rescuers ( 1977 ) . According to The Gospel according to Disney : Faith , Trust , and Pixie Dust author Mark I. Pinsky , Ursula became `` the most grotesque characterization Disney ... have created for a female villain '' at that time .

+ The two kingdoms of Upper and Lower Egypt were united c. 3000 BC , but each maintained its own regalia : the hedjet or White Crown for Upper Egypt and the deshret or Red Crown for Lower Egypt . Thus , the pharaohs were known as the rulers of the Two Lands , and wore the pschent , a double crown , each half representing sovereignty of one of the kingdoms . Ancient Egyptian tradition credited Menes , now believed to be the same as Narmer , as the king who united Upper and Lower Egypt . On the Narmer Palette the king is depicted wearing the Red Crown in one scene and the White crown in another , and thereby showing his rule over both Lands .

+ A pattern of political and financial motivation , and a lack of understanding of the geography and ecology of the Everglades have plagued the history of drainage projects . The Everglades are a part of a massive watershed that originates near Orlando and drains into Lake Okeechobee , a vast and shallow lake . As the lake exceeds its capacity in the wet season , the water forms a flat and very wide river , about 100 miles ( 160 km ) long and 60 miles ( 97 km ) wide . As the land from Lake Okeechobee slopes gradually to Florida Bay , water flows at a rate of half a mile ( 0.8 km ) a day . Before human activity in the Everglades , the system comprised the lower third of the Florida peninsula . The first attempt to drain the region was made by real estate developer Hamilton Disston in 1881 . Disston 's sponsored canals were unsuccessful , but the land he purchased for them stimulated economic and population growth that attracted railway developer Henry Flagler . Flagler built a railroad along the east coast of Florida and eventually to Key West ; towns grew and farmland was cultivated along the rail line .
+ The outcome was one of the most significant developments in a century of Anglo - French conflict . France ceded to Great Britain its territory east of the Mississippi . It ceded French Louisiana west of the Mississippi River ( including New Orleans ) to its ally Spain in compensation for Spain 's loss to Britain of Florida . ( Spain had ceded Florida to Britain in exchange for the return of Havana , Cuba . ) France 's colonial presence north of the Caribbean was reduced to the islands of Saint Pierre and Miquelon , confirming Great Britain 's position as the dominant colonial power in eastern North America .

+ The British colonial government fell in the region of modern Nova Scotia after several disastrous campaigns in 1757 , including a failed expedition against Louisbourg and the Siege of Fort William Henry ; this last was followed by Indians torturing and massacring their British victims . William Pitt came to power and significantly increased British military resources in the colonies at a time when France was unwilling to risk large convoys to aid the limited forces that they had in New France , preferring to concentrate their forces against Prussia and its allies in the European theater of the war . Between 1758 and 1760 , the British military launched a campaign to capture the Colony of Canada ( part of New France ) . They succeeded in capturing territory in surrounding colonies and ultimately the city of Quebec ( 1759 ) . The British later lost the Battle of Sainte - Foy west of Quebec ( 1760 ) , but the French ceded Canada in accordance with the Treaty of Paris ( 1763 ) .

+ On September 25 , 2013 , the USPS announced a 3 cent increase in the First Class postal rate , to be effective January 26 , 2014 , increasing the price of a stamp to 49 cents . Bulk mail , periodicals , and package service rates were also increased by 6 percent . A loss of US $5 billion during the 2013 fiscal year was the reason given for the increase .
+ The legislation which set the price to 49 cents was enacted as a temporary measure and as an `` exigent surcharge for mailing products and services '' . However , this legislation was set to expire in April 2016 . As a result , the Post Office retained one cent of the price change as a previously allotted adjustment for inflation , but the price of a first class stamp became 47 cents : for the first time in 97 years ( and for the third time in the agency 's history ) , the price of a stamp decreased .
+ Scopes was found guilty and fined $100 ( $1395 in 2017 ) , but the verdict was overturned on a technicality . The trial served its purpose of drawing intense national publicity , as national reporters flocked to Dayton to cover the big - name lawyers who had agreed to represent each side . William Jennings Bryan , three - time presidential candidate , argued for the prosecution , while Clarence Darrow , the famed defense attorney , spoke for Scopes . The trial publicized the Fundamentalist -- Modernist Controversy , which set Modernists , who said evolution was not inconsistent with religion , against Fundamentalists , who said the word of God as revealed in the Bible took priority over all human knowledge . The case was thus seen as both a theological contest and a trial on whether `` modern science '' should be taught in schools .

+ In 1989 , a third model was brought out by Land Rover to be produced in parallel with the other two : the Land Rover Discovery . To avoid possible confusion , the 1991 model year Ninety and the One Ten were renamed the `` Defender 90 '' and `` Defender 110 '' . These carried front badges that said `` Defender '' , with a badge on the rear of the vehicle saying `` Defender 90 '' or `` Defender 110 '' . The most recent model , from 2007 -- 2016 , still featured the space above the radiator for the badge but was blank . Instead it had `` Land Rover '' spelled across the leading edge of the bonnet in raised individual letters , in keeping with the Discovery and Freelander . At the rear was a new style of ' `` Defender '' badge with an underlining `` swoosh '' . On these last models there are no badges defining the wheelbase model of the vehicle .

+ The Battle of Britain ( German : Luftschlacht um England , literally `` The Air Battle for England '' ) was a military campaign of the Second World War , in which the Royal Air Force ( RAF ) defended the United Kingdom ( UK ) against large - scale attacks by Nazi Germany 's air force , the Luftwaffe . It has been described as the first major military campaign fought entirely by air forces .
+ Historian Stephen Bungay cited Germany 's failure to destroy Britain 's air defences to force an armistice ( or even outright surrender ) as the first major German defeat in World War II and a crucial turning point in the conflict . The Battle of Britain takes its name from a speech by Winston Churchill to the House of Commons on 18 June : `` What General Weygand has called The Battle of France is over .

+ Everything except `` the commanding heights '' , as Lenin put it , of the economy would be privatized . `` The commanding heights '' included foreign trade , heavy industry , communication and transport among others . In practice this limited the private sector to artisan and agricultural production / trade . The NEP encountered strong resistance within the Bolshevik party . Lenin had to persuade communist skeptics that `` state capitalism '' was a necessary step in achieving communism , while he himself harbored suspicions that the policy could be abused by private businessmen ( `` NEPmen '' ) .
+ The Battle of Britain marked the first major defeat of Hitler 's military forces , with air superiority seen as the key to victory . Pre-war theories had led to exaggerated fears of strategic bombing , and UK public opinion was buoyed by coming through the ordeal . For the RAF , Fighter Command had achieved a great victory in successfully carrying out Sir Thomas Inskip 's 1937 air policy of preventing the Germans from knocking Britain out of the war . Churchill concluded his famous 18 June ' Battle of Britain ' speech in the House of Commons by referring to pilots and aircrew who fought the Battle : `` ... if the British Empire and its Commonwealth lasts for a thousand years , men will still say , ' This was their finest hour . ' ''

All living former presidents and their spouses are now entitled to receive lifetime Secret Service protection .
+ In the United States and Canada , a political action committee ( PAC ) is a type of organization that pools campaign contributions from members and donates those funds to campaign for or against candidates , ballot initiatives , or legislation . The legal term PAC has been created in pursuit of campaign finance reform in the United States . This term is quite specific to all activities of campaign finance in the United States . Democracies of other countries use different terms for the units of campaign spending or spending on political competition ( see political finance ) .

+ This was meant to be a temporary measure , with the gold price of the dollar and the official rate of exchanges remaining constant . Revaluing currencies was the main purpose of this plan . No official revaluation or redemption occurred . The dollar subsequently floated . In December 1971 , the `` Smithsonian Agreement '' was reached . In this agreement , the dollar was devalued from $35 per troy ounce of gold to $38 . Other countries ' currencies appreciated . However , gold convertibility did not resume . In October 1973 , the price was raised to $42.22 . Once again , the devaluation was insufficient . Within two weeks of the second devaluation the dollar was left to float . The $42.22 par value was made official in September 1973 , long after it had been abandoned in practice . In October 1976 , the government officially changed the definition of the dollar ; references to gold were removed from statutes . From this point , the international monetary system was made of pure fiat money .

After reading a newspaper story about a beauty queen who died of a drug overdose , Bill views the body at the morgue and identifies it as Mandy . Bill is summoned to Ziegler 's house , where he is confronted with the events of the past night and day . Ziegler was one of those involved with the ritual orgy , and identified Bill and his connection with Nick . Ziegler claims that he had Bill followed for his own protection , and that the warnings made against Bill by the society are only intended to scare him from speaking about the orgy . However , he implies the society is capable of acting on their threats . Bill asks about the death of Mandy , whom Ziegler has identified as the masked woman at the party who 'd `` sacrificed '' herself to prevent Bill 's punishment , and about the disappearance of Nick , the piano player . Ziegler insists that Nick is safely back at his home in Seattle . Ziegler also says the `` punishment '' was a charade by the secret society to further frighten Bill , and it had nothing to do with Mandy 's death ; she was a hooker and addict and had died from another accidental drug overdose . Bill does not know if Ziegler is telling him the truth about Nick 's disappearance or Mandy 's death , but he says nothing further . When he returns home , Bill finds the rented mask on his pillow next to his sleeping wife . He breaks down in tears and decides to tell Alice the whole truth of the past two days . The next morning , they go Christmas shopping with their daughter . Alice muses that they should be grateful that they have survived , that she loves him and there is something they must do as soon as possible . When Bill asks what it is , she replies , `` Fuck '' .
+ Phosphorus occurs most abundantly in nature as part of the orthophosphate ion ( PO ) , consisting of a P atom and 4 oxygen atoms . On land most phosphorus is found in rocks and minerals . Phosphorus rich deposits have generally formed in the ocean or from guano , and over time , geologic processes bring ocean sediments to land . Weathering of rocks and minerals release phosphorus in a soluble form where it is taken up by plants , and it is transformed into organic compounds . The plants may then be consumed by herbivores and the phosphorus is either incorporated into their tissues or excreted . After death , the animal or plant decays , and phosphorus is returned to the soil where a large part of the phosphorus is transformed into insoluble compounds . Runoff may carry a small part of the phosphorus back to the ocean . Generally with time ( thousands of years ) soils become deficient in phosphorus leading to ecosystem retrogression .

+ Starting in the 1959 -- 1969 administration of President Charles de Gaulle and continuing until 1970 , France reduced its dollar reserves , exchanging them for gold at the official exchange rate , reducing US economic influence . This , along with the fiscal strain of federal expenditures for the Vietnam War and persistent balance of payments deficits , led U.S. President Richard Nixon to end international convertibility of the U.S. dollar to gold on August 15 , 1971 ( the `` Nixon Shock '' ) .
+ Congress passed the Gold Reserve Act on 30 January 1934 ; the measure nationalized all gold by ordering Federal Reserve banks to turn over their supply to the U.S. Treasury . In return the banks received gold certificates to be used as reserves against deposits and Federal Reserve notes . The act also authorized the president to devalue the gold dollar . Under this authority the president , on 31 January 1934 , changed the value of the dollar from $20.67 to the troy ounce to $35 to the troy ounce , a devaluation of over 40 % .

+ The phrase `` to form a more perfect Union '' has been construed as referring to the shift to the Constitution from the Articles of Confederation . In this transition , the `` Union '' was made `` more perfect '' by the creation of a federal government with enough power to act directly upon citizens , rather than a government with narrowly limited power that could act on citizens ( e.g. , by imposing taxes ) only indirectly through the states . Although the Preamble speaks of perfecting the `` Union , '' and the country is called the `` United States of America , '' the Supreme Court has interpreted the institution created as a government over the people , not an agreement between the States . The phrase has also been interpreted to confirm that state nullification of any federal law , dissolution of the Union , or secession from it , are not contemplated by the Constitution .
+ Green tree frogs are very docile and unafraid of humans . They are nocturnal and come out in early evenings to call ( in spring and summer ) and hunt for food . During the day , they find cool , dark , and moist areas , such as tree holes or rock crevices , in which to sleep . They are not a rainforest species , but make use of the rain that falls almost daily and collects on leaves and in crevices , to keep themselves moist . Their skin exudes a waxy coating that helps prevent evaporation . In dry periods , they avoid desiccation by concealing themselves in a cool spot , perhaps by burrowing , and enveloping themselves in a cocoon made of shed skin and mucus .

+ The electrical conduction system of the heart transmits signals generated usually by the sinoatrial node to cause contraction of the heart muscle . The pacemaking signal generated in the sinoatrial node travels through the right atrium to the atrioventricular node , along the Bundle of His and through bundle branches to cause contraction of the heart muscle . This signal stimulates contraction first of the right and left atrium , and then the right and left ventricles . This process allows blood to be pumped throughout the body .

+ The enthalpy of fusion of a substance , also known as ( latent ) heat of fusion , is the change in its enthalpy resulting from providing energy , typically heat , to a specific quantity of the substance to change its state from a solid to a liquid , ( or resulting from the release of energy from a substance during transition from liquid to solid ) , at constant pressure . ( It is used to decribe the change in phase of matter of melting or freezing ) . This energy includes the contribution required to make room for any associated change in volume by displacing its environment against ambient pressure . The temperature at which the phase transition occurs is the melting point or the freezing point , according to context . By convention , the pressure is assumed to be 1 atm ( 101.325 kPa ) unless otherwise specified .

+ `` Ich bin ein Berliner '' ( German pronunciation : ( ˈʔɪç ˈbɪn ʔaɪn bɛɐ̯ˈliːnɐ ) , `` I am a Berliner '' ) is a quotation from a June 26 , 1963 , speech by U.S. President John F. Kennedy in West Berlin . It is widely regarded as the best - known speech of the Cold War and the most famous anti-communist speech . Kennedy aimed to underline the support of the United States for West Germany 22 months after Soviet - supported East Germany erected the Berlin Wall to prevent mass emigration to the West . The message was aimed as much at the Soviets as it was at Berliners and was a clear statement of U.S. policy in the wake of the construction of the Berlin Wall . Another phrase in the speech was also spoken in German , `` Lasst sie nach Berlin kommen '' ( `` Let them come to Berlin '' ) , addressed at those who claimed `` we can work with the Communists '' , a remark at which Nikita Khrushchev scoffed only days later .

+ Relevant dates include 117 CE , when the Empire was at its greatest territorial extent , and the accession of Diocletian in 284 . Irreversible major territorial loss , however , began in 376 with a large - scale irruption of Goths and others . In 395 , after winning two destructive civil wars , Theodosius I died , leaving a collapsing field army and the Empire , still plagued by Goths , divided between his two incapable sons . By 476 when Odoacer deposed the Emperor Romulus , the Western Roman Emperor wielded negligible military , political , or financial power and had no effective control over the scattered Western domains that could still be described as Roman . Invading barbarians had established their own power in most of the area of the Western Empire . While its legitimacy lasted for centuries longer and its cultural influence remains today , the Western Empire never had the strength to rise again .

+ Gothic art emerged in Île - de-France , France , in the early 12th century at the Abbey Church of St Denis built by Abbot Suger . The style rapidly spread beyond its origins in architecture to sculpture , both monumental and personal in size , textile art , and painting , which took a variety of forms , including fresco , stained glass , the illuminated manuscript , and panel painting . Monastic orders , especially the Cistercians and the Carthusians , were important builders who disseminated the style and developed distinctive variants of it across Europe .

+ On a surface level the poem explores a violation of nature and the resulting psychological effects on the mariner and on all those who hear him . According to Jerome McGann the poem is like a salvation story . The poem 's structure is multi-layered text based on Coleridge 's interest in Higher Criticism . `` Like the Iliad or Paradise Lost or any great historical product , the Rime is a work of transhistorical rather than so - called universal significance . This verbal distinction is important because it calls attention to a real one . Like The Divine Comedy or any other poem , the Rime is not valued or used always or everywhere or by everyone in the same way or for the same reasons . ''

+ In the kidneys , the enzyme AGAT catalyzes the conversion of two amino acids -- arginine and glycine -- into guanidinoacetate ( also called glycocyamine or GAA ) , which is then transported in the blood to the liver . A methyl group is added to GAA from the amino acid methionine by the enzyme GAMT , forming non-phosphorylated creatine . This is then dumped into the blood by the liver where it travels mainly to the muscle cells ( 95 % of the body 's creatine is in muscles ) , and to a lesser extent the brain , heart , and pancreas . Once inside the cells it is transformed into phosphocreatine by the enzyme complex creatine kinase , which makes it able to donate its phosphate group to convert adenosine diphosphate ( ADP ) into adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) . This process is an important component of all vertebrates ' bioenergetic systems . For instance , while the human body only produces 250g of ATP daily , it recycles its entire body weight in ATP each day through creatine phosphate .
+ The fight - or - flight response ( also called hyperarousal , or the acute stress response ) is a physiological reaction that occurs in response to a perceived harmful event , attack , or threat to survival . It was first described by Walter Bradford Cannon . His theory states that animals react to threats with a general discharge of the sympathetic nervous system , preparing the animal for fighting or fleeing . More specifically , the adrenal medulla produces a hormonal cascade that results in the secretion of catecholamines , especially norepinephrine and epinephrine . The hormones estrogen , testosterone , and cortisol , as well as the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin , also affect how organisms react to stress .
+ The Atlantic Ocean occupies an elongated , S - shaped basin extending longitudinally between Eurasia and Africa to the east , and the Americas to the west .

The Equatorial Counter Current subdivides it into the North Atlantic Ocean and the South Atlantic Ocean at about 8 ° N .
+ The construction of Olympic and Titanic took place virtually in parallel , with Olympic 's keel laid down first on 16 December 1908 and Titanic 's on 31 March 1909 . Both ships took about 26 months to build and followed much the same construction process . They were designed essentially as an enormous floating box girder , with the keel acting as a backbone and the frames of the hull forming the ribs . At the base of the ships , a double bottom 5 feet 3 inches ( 1.60 m ) deep supported 300 frames , each between 24 inches ( 61 cm ) and 36 inches ( 91 cm ) apart and measuring up to about 66 feet ( 20 m ) long . They terminated at the bridge deck ( B Deck ) and were covered with steel plates which formed the outer skin of the ships .

Following an encounter with series protagonist Rick Grimes , Merle disappears and joins the community of Woodbury , Georgia , where he becomes the right - hand man of The Governor . He becomes caught in the conflict between the Governor and Rick , especially when nobody in Rick 's group wants him in the group , except for Daryl .
+ The New Mexico whiptail ( Cnemidophorus neomexicanus ) is a female - only species of lizard found in the southern United States in New Mexico and Arizona , and in northern Mexico in Chihuahua . It is the official state reptile of New Mexico . It is one of many lizard species known to be parthenogenic . Individuals of the species can be created either through the hybridization of the little striped whiptail ( C. inornatus ) and the western whiptail ( C. tigris ) , or through the parthenogenic reproduction of an adult New Mexico whiptail .
+ The New Mexico whiptail lizard is a crossbreed of a western whiptail , which lives in the desert , and the little striped whiptail , which favours grasslands . The lizard is a female - only species that reproduces by producing an egg through parthenogenesis . Despite reproducing asexually , and being an all - female species , the whiptail still engages in mating behavior with other females of its own species , giving rise to the common nickname `` lesbian lizards '' . A common theory is that this behavior stimulates ovulation , as those that do not `` mate '' do not lay eggs .
+ The numerals for 4 ( IIII ) and 9 ( VIIII ) proved problematic ( among other things , they are easily confused with III and VIII ) , and are generally replaced with IV ( one less than 5 ) and IX ( one less than 10 ) . This feature of Roman numerals is called subtractive notation .
+ On December 7 , 1917 , the U.S. declared war on Austria - Hungary .
+- Clock faces that use Roman numerals normally show IIII for four o'clock but IX for nine o'clock , a practice that goes back to very early clocks such as the Wells Cathedral clock of the late 14th century . However , this is far from universal : for example , the clock on the Palace of Westminster in London ( aka `` Big Ben '' ) uses a `` normal '' IV .
+ Overall , there have been 91 different champions . Ric Flair holds the record for having the most reigns at six , while John Cena holds the record for most reigns under the WWE banner at five . Lex Luger holds the record for the longest reign , with his third reign lasting a total of 523 days , while Dean Ambrose holds the longest reign under the WWE banner , at 351 days ( overall the third longest in the title 's history ) . Only two men , Lex Luger and Rick Rude , have held the championship for a continuous reign of one year ( 365 days ) or more .

+ An acetate / ˈæsɪteɪt / is a salt formed by the combination of acetic acid with an alkaline , earthy , or metallic base . `` Acetate '' also describes the conjugate base or ion ( specifically , the negatively charged ion called an anion ) typically found in aqueous solution and written with the chemical formula C H O . The neutral molecules formed by the combination of the acetate ion and a positive ion ( called a cation ) are also commonly called `` acetates '' ( hence , acetate of lead , acetate of aluminum , etc . ) . The simplest of these is hydrogen acetate ( called acetic acid ) with corresponding salts , esters , and the polyatomic anion CH CO , or CH COO .
+ Malware , short for malicious software , is an umbrella term used to refer to a variety of forms of harmful or intrusive software , including computer viruses , worms , Trojan horses , ransomware , spyware , adware , scareware , and other malicious programs . It can take the form of executable code , scripts , active content , and other software . Malware is defined by its malicious intent , acting against the requirements of the computer user -- and so does not include software that causes unintentional harm due to some deficiency .
+ In the late 19th century , the European imperial powers engaged in a major territorial scramble and occupied most of the continent , creating many colonial territories , and leaving only two fully independent states : Ethiopia ( known to Europeans as `` Abyssinia '' ) , and Liberia . Egypt and Sudan were never formally incorporated into any European colonial empire ; however , after the British occupation of 1882 , Egypt was effectively under British administration until 1922 .
+ The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is a tri-cable gondola lift located in Whistler , British Columbia that links Whistler Mountain 's Roundhouse Lodge with Blackcomb Mountain 's Rendezvous Lodge . It is the first lift to join the two side - by - side mountains . It held the world record for the longest free span between ropeway towers -- 3.03 kilometres ( 1.88 miles ) until 2017 when the Eibsee Cable Car exceeded it by 189m . It is still the highest point above the ground -- 436 metres ( 1,430 feet . ) ( A temporary aerial tramway in Switzerland used between 1979 and 1986 had larger span . ) The Peak 2 Peak Gondola was built by the Doppelmayr Garaventa Group in 2007 and 2008 at a cost of CDN $51 million . The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is the first Doppelmayr `` 3S '' tri-cable lift in North America ; there are four similar but smaller lifts in Europe which were built in 1991 , 1994 , 2002 , 2004 and 2010 in Switzerland , Austria , France and Germany . Whistler - Blackcomb has touted the gondola as an iconic attraction and uses it to transport skiers in the winter months as well as sightseers year round .
+ The oil and gas industry is usually divided into three major sectors : upstream ( or exploration and production - E&P ) , midstream and downstream . The upstream sector includes searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields , drilling exploratory wells , and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface . There has been a significant shift toward including unconventional gas as a part of the upstream sector , and corresponding developments in liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) processing and transport .

+ The Confederate States Army ( C.S.A. ) was the military land force of the Confederate States of America ( Confederacy ) during the American Civil War ( 1861 - 1865 ) . On February 28 , 1861 , the Provisional Confederate Congress established a provisional volunteer army and gave control over military operations and authority for mustering state forces and volunteers to the newly chosen Confederate president , Jefferson Davis ( 1808 - 1889 ) . Davis was a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy on the Hudson River at West Point , New York , and colonel of a volunteer regiment during the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 - 1848 ) . He had also been a United States Senator from Mississippi and U.S. Secretary of War in the administration of 14th President Franklin Pierce ( 1853 - 1857 ) . On March 1 , 1861 , Davis assumed control of the military situation at Charleston , South Carolina on behalf of the Confederate States government , where South Carolina state militia threatened to seize Fort Sumter , an island fortification in Charleston harbor from the small U.S. Army garrison . By March 1861 , the Provisional Confederate Congress expanded the provisional forces and established a more permanent Confederate States Army .

+ The cutting surfaces of a milling cutter are generally made of a hard and temperature - resistant material , so that they wear slowly . A low cost cutter may have surfaces made of high speed steel . More expensive but slower - wearing materials include cemented carbide . Thin film coatings may be applied to decrease friction or further increase hardness .

+ Like most other whiptail lizards , the New Mexico whiptail is diurnal and insectivorous . They are wary , energetic , and fast moving , darting for cover if approached . They are found in a wide variety of semi-arid habitats , including grassland , rocky areas , shrubland , or mountainside woodlands . Reproduction occurs through parthenogenesis , with up to four unfertilized eggs being laid in mid summer , and hatching approximately eight weeks later .
+ At the time of the 1970 NFL -- AFL merger , George Halas , head coach , founder and owner of the Chicago Bears , held the record for most wins as a head coach . He retired from coaching after the 1967 season with 324 wins , including six playoff wins . Twenty - eight years later , Halas was surpassed by Don Shula . Shula retired at the end of the 1995 season , after amassing 328 regular season wins and 19 playoff wins .
+ The hybridization of these species prevents healthy males from forming , whereas males exist in both parent species ( see Sexual differentiation ) . Parthenogenesis allows the resulting all - female population to reproduce and thus evolve into a unique species capable of reproduction . This combination of interspecific hybridization and parthenogenesis exists as a reproductive strategy in several species of whiptail lizard within the Cnemidophorus genus to which the New Mexico whiptail belongs .

+ Jonathan Larson focused on composing Rent in the early 1990s , waiting tables at the Moondance Diner to support himself . Over the course of years , Larson wrote hundreds of songs and made many drastic changes to the show , which in its final incarnation contained 42 songs . In the fall of 1992 , Larson approached James Nicola , artistic director of New York Theatre Workshop , with a tape and copy of Rent 's script . When Rent had its first staged reading at New York Theatre Workshop in March 1993 , it became evident that , despite its very promising material and moving musical numbers , many structural problems needed to be addressed , including its cumbersome length and overly complex plot .
+ Within thermodynamics , a physical property is any property that is measurable , and whose value describes a state of a physical system . Some constants , such as the ideal gas constant , R , do not describe the state of a system , and so are not properties . On the other hand , some constants , such as K ( the freezing point depression constant , or cryoscopic constant ) , depend on the identity of a substance , and so may be considered to describe the state of a system , and so may be considered physical properties .
+ The film is set in Los Angeles in the then - future of 1996 . Harley Davidson ( Mickey Rourke ) , dressed in biker gear , with ultra-short dyed hair , hears from the radio about a dangerous new street drug named `` Crystal Dream '' . ( The significance of this street drug does not become clear until later . ) Harley goes into a rough bar and sees a cowboy - looking fellow ( Don Johnson wearing a beard , cowboy hat and boots ) . He has scammed a fellow in a pool game but has to use strong measures when the fellow refuses payment . Harley helps him in this . We learn that they are old friends ( later we learn the name he goes by is The Marlboro Man . ) They visit a blues ( old jazz ? ) bar in Burbank , which they both hold special . They go into a back room and meet Jack Daniels , an extremely - heavily - muscled lad , who immediately goes to fight Harley due to an old feud over a woman . After a manly exchange of blows and body slams , Harley tells him that he knows that the woman loves Jack and they make friends . Soon it is revealed that the bar is about to be demolished as the lease will not be renewed . `` Suits '' at Great Trust bank plan to replace it with a skyscraper . Harley , Marlboro , Jack and two friends decide to rob a bank to raise the money to ensure the bar 's survival . A comely waitress hooks up with Harley . Marlboro borrows Harley 's Harley and baits a motorcycle cop , with interesting results . In a bit of psychological revelation , we learn that he is in an intermittent amorous relationship with a beautiful woman , who tells him that she is going to settle down with another man , as she is not getting enough loving from him . He is conflicted by the news but later tells Harley that he is not the kind of man who has a wife . Harley arrives and takes her out for breakfast . An armored car is going down a street and meets a detour sign . Marlboro jumps on its back door and climbs to its roof ( a visual parallel of train robbers crawling on the roofs of boxcars in old western movies ) . The contents of the armored car is heisted in a well - thought - out scheme , but the escape of Harley / Marlboro 's gang is almost foiled by the appearance of a squad of black - trenchcoat - wearing ( a la Matrix ) machinepistol - firing soldiers . Jack drives a fiery motorcycle into the fray and allows them to escape . But they discover the goods they have stolen are a large amount of `` Crystal Dream '' , not money . Chance Wilder ( Tom Sizemore ) , president of the Great Trust branch , is obviously involved in drug dealing . Harley and Marlboro go to the bank . Showing considerable balls , Harley negotiates an exchange - the drugs for $2.5 M. The exchange goes down smoothly in a visually - fascinating airplane graveyard , but then the bank 's squad of soldiers finds them celebrating at the bar and it is not pretty , although Harley and Marlboro manage to escape with the money . In a running battle , Harley and Marlboro alternately flee and face off with steadily - declining elements of the squad until a final showdown in the penthouse suite of the Great Trust bank . The closing scene : Marlboro has gone back to rodeo bull - riding and Harley on his bike takes to the road , stopping only temporarily to pick up a ravishing and shapely hitchhiker who tells him she is going `` no place special '' , a destination that Harley promises to take her . Much of the film was filmed in and around Tucson , Arizona and the `` Boneyard '' at Davis - Monthan Air Force Base .
+ Kelly 's tenuous relationship with her mother Jackie ( Ann Gillespie ) continued in the series ' first season , with tension arising due to Jackie 's drunken negligence of Erin , a recurring character in the original series and a regular in the spin - off . She also resumed her friendship with Brenda Walsh . However , their relationship was briefly strained by Kelly 's and possibly Brenda 's lingering feelings for former boyfriend Dylan McKay , as well as Brenda sleeping with Kelly 's ex-boyfriend , Ryan Matthews , a teacher at West Beverly . Following Brenda 's discovery that she could not have children , she and Kelly made amends once again .

+ The milling process removes material by performing many separate , small cuts . This is accomplished by using a cutter with many teeth , spinning the cutter at high speed , or advancing the material through the cutter slowly ; most often it is some combination of these three approaches . The speeds and feeds used are varied to suit a combination of variables . The speed at which the piece advances through the cutter is called feed rate , or just feed ; it is most often measured in length of material per full revolution of the cutter .

+ Peptidoglycan , also known as murein , is a polymer consisting of sugars and amino acids that forms a mesh - like layer outside the plasma membrane of most bacteria , forming the cell wall . The sugar component consists of alternating residues of β - ( 1 , 4 ) linked N - acetylglucosamine ( NAG ) and N - acetylmuramic acid ( NAM ) . Attached to the N - acetylmuramic acid is a peptide chain of three to five amino acids . The peptide chain can be cross-linked to the peptide chain of another strand forming the 3D mesh - like layer . Peptidoglycan serves a structural role in the bacterial cell wall , giving structural strength , as well as counteracting the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm . A common misconception is that peptidoglycan gives the cell its shape ; however , whereas peptidoglycan helps maintain the structural strength of the cell , it is actually the MreB protein that facilitates cell shape . Peptidoglycan is also involved in binary fission during bacterial cell reproduction .

+ In government , the term authority is often used interchangeably with power . However , their meanings differ : while power is defined as `` the ability to influence somebody to do something that he / she would not have done '' , authority refers to a claim of legitimacy , the justification and right to exercise that power . For example , while a mob has the power to punish a criminal , for example by lynching , people who believe in the rule of law consider that only a court of law has the authority to punish a criminal legally as the law says .
+ The excretory system is a passive biological system that removes excess , unnecessary materials from the body fluids of an organism , so as to help maintain internal chemical homeostasis and prevent damage to the body . The dual function of excretory systems is the elimination of the waste products of metabolism and to drain the body of used up and broken down components in a liquid and gaseous state . In humans and other amniotes ( mammals , birds and reptiles ) most of these substances leave the body as urine and to some degree exhalation , mammals also expel them through sweating .

+ Dallol is a cinder cone volcano in the Danakil Depression , northeast of the Erta Ale Range in Ethiopia . It has been formed by the intrusion of basaltic magma into Miocene salt deposits and subsequent hydrothermal activity . Phreatic eruptions took place here in 1926 , forming Dallol Volcano ; numerous other eruption craters dot the salt flats nearby . These craters are the lowest known subaerial volcanic vents in the world , at 45 m ( 150 ft ) or more below sea level . In October 2004 the shallow magma chamber beneath Dallol deflated and fed a magma intrusion southwards beneath the rift . An phreatic eruption occurred in January 2011 .

+ Rooted in the basic curriculum -- the enkuklios paideia or `` education in a circle '' -- of late Classical and Hellenistic Greece , the `` liberal arts '' or `` liberal pursuits '' ( Latin liberalia studia ) were already so called in formal education during the Roman Empire . The first recorded use of the term `` liberal arts '' ( artes liberales ) occurs in De Inventione by Marcus Tullius Cicero , but it is unclear if he created the term . Seneca the Younger discusses liberal arts in education from a critical Stoic point of view in Moral Epistle 88 . The exact classification of the liberal arts varied however in Roman times , and it was only after Martianus Capella in the 5th century AD influentially brought the seven liberal arts as bridesmaids to the Marriage of Mercury and Philology , that they took on canonical form .

+ The Spanish Civil War ( Spanish : Guerra Civil Española ) , widely known in Spain simply as The Civil War ( Spanish : La Guerra Civil ) or The War ( Spanish : La Guerra ) , took place from 1936 to 1939 . The Republicans , who were loyal to the democratic , left - leaning and relatively urban Second Spanish Republic , in an alliance of convenience with the Anarchists and Communists , fought against the Nationalists , a Falangist , Carlist , Catholic , and largely aristocratic conservative group led by General Francisco Franco . The war has often been portrayed as a struggle between democracy and fascism , particularly due to the political climate and timing surrounding it , but it can more accurately be described as a struggle between leftist revolution and rightist counter-revolution similar to the Finnish Civil War , the Russian Civil War , and the wars fought over the formation of the Hungarian and Slovak Soviet republics . In early 1939 , the Nationalists won , and Franco ruled over all of Spain until his death in November 1975 .

+ All cars must be front - engined and rear - wheel drive . All cars use a 5.0 - litre , naturally aspirated V8 - engine with electronic fuel injection , capable of producing between 460 and 485 kW ( 620 -- 650 bhp ) . Manufacturers are free to choose between using an engine based on one from their own line up or a generic engine provided by V8 Supercars . Both Ford and Holden use US - based racing engines with pushrod actuated valves and two valves per cylinder . Mercedes , Nissan and Volvo use modified versions of their own engines , with hydraulic - lift valves and four valves per cylinder . All engines are electronically limited to 7,500 rpm and have a compression ratio of 10 : 1 .
+ In the biological sciences , nitrogenous bases are increasingly termed nucleobases because of their role in nucleic acids - their flat shape is particularly important when considering their roles as the building blocks of DNA and RNA . A set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides , which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA . These nitrogenous bases are adenine ( A ) , uracil ( U ) , guanine ( G ) , thymine ( T ) , and cytosine ( C ) . These nitrogenous bases hydrogen bond between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the `` twisted ladder '' or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides . Adenine is always paired with thymine , and guanine is always paired with cytosine . These are known as base pairs . Uracil is only present in RNA , replacing thymine . Pyrimidines include thymine , cytosine , and uracil . They have a single ring structure . Purines include adenine and guanine . They have a double ring structure .
+ An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain . A fatty acid chain is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond , and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond .
+ Laika was found as a stray wandering the streets of Moscow . Soviet scientists chose to use Moscow strays since they assumed that such animals had already learned to endure conditions of extreme cold and hunger . This specimen was an eleven - pound mongrel female , approximately three years old . Another account reported that she weighed about 6 kg ( 13 lb ) . Soviet personnel gave her several names and nicknames , among them Kudryavka ( Russian for Little Curly ) , Zhuchka ( Little Bug ) , and Limonchik ( Little Lemon ) . Laika , the Russian name for several breeds of dogs similar to the husky , was the name popularised around the world . The American press dubbed her Muttnik ( mutt + suffix - nik ) as a pun on Sputnik , or referred to her as Curly . Her true pedigree is unknown , although it is generally accepted that she was part husky or other Nordic breed , and possibly part terrier . NASA refers to Laika as a `` part - Samoyed terrier . '' A Russian magazine described her temperament as phlegmatic , saying that she did not quarrel with other dogs . Vladimir Yazdovsky , who led the program of test dogs used on rockets , in a later publication wrote that `` Laika was quiet and charming '' .
+ In Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , Voldemort 's manifestation is as a face on the back of Quirrell 's head , an effect achieved by computer generated imagery . Ian Hart , the actor who played Quirrell in the same film , provided the voice and the facial source for this character . Voldemort also appears in a scene in the Forbidden Forest where he is seen drinking the blood of a unicorn . As Voldemort 's face was altered enough by CG work , and Hart 's voice was affected enough , there was no confusion by Hart 's playing of the two roles . In that film , he was also shown in a flashback sequence when he arrived at the home of James and Lily Potter to kill them . In this scene Voldemort is played by Richard Bremmer , though his face is never seen . His next appearance would be in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as the 16 - year - old Tom Marvolo Riddle ( portrayed by Christian Coulson ) .
+ Before 1923 , Chinese immigration was heavily controlled by the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 , which imposed a hefty head tax on all immigrants from China . After various members of the federal and some provincial governments ( especially British Columbia ) put pressure on the federal government to discourage Chinese immigration , the Chinese Immigration Act was passed . It went into effect on July 1 , 1923 . The act banned Chinese immigrants from entering Canada except those under the following titles :

+ In plant anatomy , sieve tube elements , also called sieve tube members , are highly specialised type of elongated cell in the phloem tissue of flowering plants . The ends of these cells are connected with other sieve tube members , and together they constitute the sieve tube . The main function of the sieve tube is transport of carbohydrates , primarily sucrose , in the plant ( e.g. , from the leaves to the fruits and roots ) . Unlike the water - conducting xylem vessel elements that are dead when mature , sieve elements are living cells . They are unique in lacking a nucleus at maturity .

+ If the data - set of a randomly selected representative sample is very unlikely relative to the null hypothesis ( defined as being part of a class of sets of data that only rarely will be observed ) , the experimenter rejects the null hypothesis concluding it ( probably ) is false . This class of data - sets is usually specified via a test statistic which is designed to measure the extent of apparent departure from the null hypothesis . The procedure works by assessing whether the observed departure measured by the test statistic is larger than a value defined so that the probability of occurrence of a more extreme value is small under the null hypothesis ( usually in less than either 5 % or 1 % of similar data - sets in which the null hypothesis does hold ) .
+ The Nobel Prize in Literature ( Swedish : Nobelpriset i litteratur ) has been awarded annually , since 1901 , to an author from any country who has , in the words of the will of Alfred Nobel , produced `` in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction '' ( original Swedish : den som inom litteraturen har producerat det mest framstående verket i en idealisk riktning ) . Though individual works are sometimes cited as being particularly noteworthy , here `` work '' refers to an author 's work as a whole . The Swedish Academy decides who , if anyone , will receive the prize in any given year . The academy announces the name of the chosen laureate in early October . It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the will of Alfred Nobel in 1895 ; the others are the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , Nobel Prize in Physics , Nobel Peace Prize , and Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine .

+ Some critiques of symbolic interactionism are based on the assumption that it is a theory , and the critiques apply the criteria for a `` good '' theory to something that does not claim to be a theory . Some critics find the symbolic interactionist framework too broad and general when they are seeking specific theories . Symbolic interactionism is a theoretical framework rather than a theory ( see Stryker and Vryan , 2003 , for a clear distinction between the two as it pertains to interactionist - inspired conceptualizations ) can be assessed on the basis of effective conceptualizations . The theoretical framework , as with any theoretical framework , is vague when it comes to analyzing empirical data or predicting outcomes in social life . As a framework rather than a theory , many scholars find it difficult to use . Interactionism being a framework rather than a theory makes it impossible to test interactionism in the manner that a specific theoretical claim about the relationship between specific variables in a given context allows . Unlike the symbolic interactionist framework , the many theories derived from symbolic interactionism , such as role theory and the versions of Identity Theory developed by Stryker , and Burke and colleagues , clearly define concepts and the relationships between them in a given context , thus allowing for the opportunity to develop and test hypotheses . Further , especially among Blumerian processual interactionists , a great number of very useful conceptualizations have been developed and applied in a very wide range of social contexts , types of populations , types of behaviors , and cultures and subcultures .

+ 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 .

+ 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 .

By contrast , the mendicants avoided owning property , did not work at a trade , and embraced a poor , often itinerant lifestyle . They depended for their survival on the goodwill of the people to whom they preached .

Gustav Bauer , the head of the new government , sent a telegram stating his intention to sign the treaty if certain articles were withdrawn , including Articles 227 , 230 and 231 . In response , the Allies issued an ultimatum stating that Germany would have to accept the treaty or face an invasion of Allied forces across the Rhine within 24 hours . On 23 June , Bauer capitulated and sent a second telegram with a confirmation that a German delegation would arrive shortly to sign the treaty .

+ After Scheidemann ′ s resignation , a new coalition government was formed under Gustav Bauer . President Friedrich Ebert knew that Germany was in an impossible situation . Although he shared his countrymen 's disgust with the treaty , he was sober enough to consider the possibility that the government would not be in a position to reject it . He believed that if Germany refused to sign the treaty , the Allies would invade Germany from the west -- and there was no guarantee that the army would be able to make a stand in the event of an invasion . With this in mind , he asked Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg if the army was capable of any meaningful resistance in the event the Allies resumed the war . If there was even the slightest chance that the army could hold out , Ebert intended to recommend against ratifying the treaty . Hindenburg -- after prodding from his chief of staff , Wilhelm Groener -- concluded the army could not resume the war even on a limited scale . However , rather than inform Ebert himself , he had Groener inform the government that the army would be in an untenable position in the event of renewed hostilities . Upon receiving this , the new government recommended signing the treaty . The National Assembly voted in favour of signing the treaty by 237 to 138 , with five abstentions ( there were 421 delegates in total ) . This result was wired to Clemenceau just hours before the deadline . Foreign minister Hermann Müller and colonial minister Johannes Bell travelled to Versailles to sign the treaty on behalf of Germany . The treaty was signed on 28 June 1919 and ratified by the National Assembly on 9 July by a vote of 209 to 116 .

+ American foreign policy was largely determined by President Woodrow Wilson , who had shown little interest in foreign affairs before entering the White House in 1913 . His chief advisor was `` Colonel '' Edward House , who was sent on many top - level missions . With the outbreak of war in 1914 , the United States declared neutrality and worked to broker a peace . It insisted on its neutral rights , which included allowing private corporations and banks to sell or loan money to either side . With the British blockade , there were almost no sales or loans to Germany , only to the Allies . The widely publicized German atrocities in Germany Shocked American public opinion . Neutrality was supported by Irish - Americans , who hated Britain , by German Americans who wanted to remain neutral , and by women and the churches . It was supported by the more educated upscale WASP element , led by Theodore Roosevelt . Wilson insisted on neutrality , denouncing both British and German violations , especially those German violations in which American civilians were killed . The German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Lusitania in 1915 . It sank in 20 minutes , killing killed 128 American civilians and over 1000 Britons . It was against the laws of war to sink any passenger ship without allowing the passengers to reach the life boats . American opinion turned strongly against Germany as a bloodthirsty threat to civilization . Germany apologized and repeatedly promised to stop attacks by its U-boats , but reversed course in early 1917 when it saw the opportunity to strangle Britain by unrestricted submarine warfare . It also made overtures to Mexico , in the Zimmermann Telegram , hoping to divert American military attention to south of the border . The German decision was not made or approved by the civilian government in Berlin , the by the military commanders and the Kaiser . They realized it meant war with the United States , but hoped to weaken the British by cutting off its imports , and strike a winning below with German soldiers transferred from the Eastern front , where Russia had surrendered . Following the repeated sinking of American merchant ships in early 1917 , Wilson asked and obtained a declaration of war in April 1917 . He neutralized the antiwar element by arguing this was a war With the main goal of ending aggressive militarism and indeed ending all wars . During the war the U.S. was not officially tied to the Allies by treaty , but military cooperation meant that the American contribution became significant in mid-1918 . After the failure of the German spring offensive , as fresh American troops arrived in France at 10,000 a day , the Germans were in a hopeless position , and surrendered . Coupled with Wilson 's Fourteen Points in January 1918 , the U.S. now had the initiative on the military , diplomatic and public relations fronts . Wilsonianism -- Wilson 's ideals -- had become the hope of the world , including the civilian population Germany itself .

+- Eukaryotes often have multiple origins of replication on each linear chromosome that initiate at different times ( replication timing ) , with up to 100,000 present in a single human cell . Having many origins of replication helps to speed the duplication of their ( usually ) much larger store of genetic material . The segment of DNA that is copied starting from each unique replication origin is called a replicon .

+ `` Do Your Ears Hang Low ? '' ( Roud 15472 ) is a children 's song that is often sung in schools , at camps and at birthday parties . The melody of this song is usually a shorter version of `` Turkey in the Straw '' , but it can also be sung to the `` Sailor 's Hornpipe '' . Various theories exist concerning the origin of the lyrics , but no conclusive evidence seems to exist . A common belief is that the lyrics refer to the ears of a hound dog . It is most likely that this was a crude wartime soldiers ' song that , in sanitized form , has made its way into other circles .
+ In the following eleven seasons , New York had limited success , reaching the playoffs only once and enduring a string of disastrous seasons , including a 1 -- 15 record in 1996 . The following year , the Jets hired two - time Super Bowl winning coach Bill Parcells . The new coach guided the team to its most successful season since the merger in 1998 ; the Jets finished 12 -- 4 and reached the AFC Championship Game , in which they fell to the Denver Broncos . The team made five playoff appearances in the 2000s , their most of any decade . In 2009 and 2010 , the Jets achieved back - to - back appearances in the AFC Championship Game , losing to the Indianapolis Colts and Pittsburgh Steelers .

+ Right - sided heart failure is often caused by pulmonary heart disease ( cor pulmonale ) , which is usually caused by difficulties of the pulmonary circulation , such as pulmonary hypertension or pulmonic stenosis .
+ Active absorption refers to the absorption of water by roots with the help of ATP , generated by the root respiration : as the root cells actively take part in the process , it is called active absorption . According to Renner , active absorption takes place in low transpiring and well - watered plants , and 4 % of total water absorption is carried out in this process . The active absorption is carried out by two theories ; active osmotic water absorption and Active non-osmotic water absorption . In this process energy is required .
+ The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry , one of three such regiments raised in 1898 for the Spanish -- American War and the only one of the three to see action . The United States Army was small and understaffed in comparison to its status during the American Civil War roughly thirty years prior . As a measure towards rectifying this situation President William McKinley called upon 125,000 volunteers to assist in the war efforts . The regiment was also called `` Wood 's Weary Walkers '' in honor of its first commander , Colonel Leonard Wood . This nickname served to acknowledge that despite being a cavalry unit they ended up fighting on foot as infantry .
+ The alkali metals are a group ( column ) in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium ( Li ) , sodium ( Na ) , potassium ( K ) , rubidium ( Rb ) , caesium ( Cs ) , and francium ( Fr ) . This group lies in the s - block of the periodic table of elements as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s - orbital : this shared electron configuration results in their having very similar characteristic properties . Indeed , the alkali metals provide the best example of group trends in properties in the periodic table , with elements exhibiting well - characterised homologous behaviour .
+ The first series of the show was filmed near Cairns , in Queensland , Australia . Since the second series , the programme has been filmed in Springbrook National Park , near Murwillumbah , New South Wales , Australia .

+ U.S. Route 66 ( US 66 , Route 66 ) is a part of a former United States Numbered Highway in the state of California that ran from the west in Santa Monica on the Pacific Ocean through Los Angeles and San Bernardino to Needles at the Arizona state line . It was truncated during the 1964 renumbering and its signage removed in 1974 . The highway is now mostly replaced with several streets in Los Angeles , State Route 66 ( SR 66 ) , Interstate 15 ( I - 15 ) and I - 40 .
+ Wildlife adapted to these harsh conditions includes few large birds or mammals . However , the desert does sustain many types of lizard including the vulnerable great desert skink ( Egernia kintorei ) and a number of small marsupials including the endangered sandhill dunnart ( Sminthopsis psammophila ) and the crest - tailed mulgara ( Dasycercus cristicauda ) . One way to survive here is to burrow into the sands , as a number of the desert 's animals , including the southern marsupial mole ( Notoryctes typhlops ) , and the water - holding frog do . Birds include the chestnut - breasted whiteface ( Aphelocephala pectoralis ) found on the eastern edge of the desert and the malleefowl of Mamungari Conservation Park . Predators of the desert include the dingo ( as the desert is north of the Dingo Fence ) and two large monitor lizards , the perentie ( Varanus giganteus ) and the sand goanna ( Varanus gouldii ) .
+ The alkali metals are all shiny , soft , highly reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure and readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge + 1 . They can all be cut easily with a knife due to their softness , exposing a shiny surface that tarnishes rapidly in air due to oxidation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen ( and in the case of lithium , nitrogen ) . Because of their high reactivity , they must be stored under oil to prevent reaction with air , and are found naturally only in salts and never as the free elements . Caesium , the fifth alkali metal , is the most reactive of all the metals . In the modern IUPAC nomenclature , the alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements , excluding hydrogen ( H ) , which is nominally a group 1 element but not normally considered to be an alkali metal as it rarely exhibits behaviour comparable to that of the alkali metals . All the alkali metals react with water , with the heavier alkali metals reacting more vigorously than the lighter ones .

+ In 1885 , Joseph F. Steinwand developed a new type of cheese at his father 's cheese factory near Colby , Wisconsin . The cheese was named after the village , which had been founded three years earlier . While Colby cheese is still widely available , it is no longer produced in Colby . A festival commemorating the cheese is held every year in mid-July where all local food booths offer free Colby cheese .

+ Aft on the main deck in the stern was the cabin for Master Christopher Jones , measuring about ten by seven feet ( 3 m × 2.1 m ) . Forward of that was the steerage room , which housed a whipstaff ( tiller extension ) for sailing control ; not a wheel , as in later ships . Also here was the ship 's compass and probably also berths for the ship 's officers . Forward of the steerage room was the capstan , a vertical axle used to pull in ropes or cables . Far forward on the main deck , just aft of the bow , was the forecastle space where the ship 's cook prepared meals for the crew ; it may also have been where the ship 's sailors slept .

+ Incudomalleolar joint ( more correctly called incudomallear joint ) or articulatio incudomallearis is a small synovial joint between the malleus ( hammer ) and the incus ( anvil ) . The joint 's function is to transfer vibrations between the ossicles in the middle ear , which is perceived as sound . Contrary to other synovial joints the movement is very limited . All of the ossicles move more or less as a unit , at least at low frequencies .
+ The fates of Lori and the character of T - Dog in the episode `` Killer Within '' garnered favorable reviews from television commentators . According to HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall , the moment when Lori and Carl share their goodbyes was the most heartbreaking event since the ending of the second season episode `` Pretty Much Dead Already '' . Los Angeles Times columnist Laura Hudson felt it was a grim departure for a character who endured long bouts of grief for reasons beyond her control .

+- Justice Lawrence John Wargrave , a retired judge , known as a `` hanging judge '' for liberally awarding the death penalty in murder cases . Wargrave is accused of influencing the jury to hand a guilty verdict to Edward Seton , a man many thought was innocent of his crime of killing an old woman , and sentencing him to death unfairly . However , as the two policemen discuss at Scotland Yard , new evidence after Seton 's execution proved he was unmistakably guilty . He admits in his postscript that he has a lifelong hidden sadistic urge to cause death , but felt bound only to indulge it with guilty persons , and a lifelong wish to create a masterpiece of a mystery . Finding himself terminally ill , he creates a game in which , as island owner `` U.N. Owen '' ( i.e. , `` Unknown '' ) , he entices to an island various people who have been responsible for the deaths of other people , but escaped justice , through a third party agent , Isaac Morris , in order to be a murderer himself , and kill his `` guests '' in a way that would leave an almost - unsolvable mystery . After the deaths , he arranges the island so that each death appears to have a survivor . However out of what he admits is a `` pitiful human need '' for recognition , he also writes a confession , which he throws in the sea , and leaves to chance whether it will be found . His final act is to shoot himself in a way that matches the description of his death in some of the other guests ' diaries , by using a rubber cord and handkerchief wrapped around the gun when he shoots himself in the head ; the elastic will separate and attract no attention , and the gun and cloth will recoil a sufficient distance from him to avoid any suspicion of the true circumstances by the police .

+ In North American residential construction , aluminum wire was used for wiring entire houses for a short time from the 1960s to the mid-1970s during a period of high copper prices . Electrical devices ( outlets , switches , lighting , fans , etc . ) at the time were not designed with the particular properties of the aluminum wire being used in mind , and there were some issues related to the properties of the wire itself , making the installations with aluminum wire much more susceptible to problems . Revised manufacturing standards for both the wire and the devices were developed to reduce the problems . Existing homes with this older aluminum wiring used in branch circuits present a potential fire hazard .

+ Brisket is a cut of meat from the breast or lower chest of beef or veal . The beef brisket is one of the nine beef primal cuts , though the precise definition of the cut differs internationally .

This requires a significant amount of connective tissue , so the resulting meat must be cooked correctly to tenderize the connective tissue .
+ In nuclear physics , beta decay ( β - decay ) is a type of radioactive decay in which a beta ray ( fast energetic electron or positron ) and a neutrino are emitted from an atomic nucleus . For example , beta decay of a neutron transforms it into a proton by the emission of an electron , or conversely a proton is converted into a neutron by the emission of a positron ( positron emission ) , thus changing the nuclide type . Neither the beta particle nor its associated neutrino exist within the nucleus prior to beta decay , but are created in the decay process . By this process , unstable atoms obtain a more stable ratio of protons to neutrons . The probability of a nuclide decaying due to beta and other forms of decay is determined by its nuclear binding energy . The binding energies of all existing nuclides form what is called the nuclear band or valley of stability . For either electron or positron emission to be energetically possible , the energy release ( see below ) or Q value must be positive .

+ Heart of palm is a vegetable harvested from the inner core and growing bud of certain palm trees ( notably the coconut ( Cocos nucifera ) , palmito juçara ( Euterpe edulis ) , Açaí palm ( Euterpe oleracea ) , sabal ( Sabal spp . ) , pupunha and pejibaye ( Bactris gasipaes ) palms ) . Harvesting of many non-cultivated or wild single - stemmed palms results in palm tree death ( e.g. Geonoma edulis ) . However , other palm species are clonal or multi-stemmed plants ( e.g. Prestoea acuminata , Euterpe oleracea ) and moderate harvesting will not kill the entire clonal palm . Heart of palm may be eaten on its own , and often it is eaten in a salad .

+ Caleb Calhoun ( portrayed by Kenny Johnson ) is Norma 's estranged older brother , Norman 's uncle and Dylan 's biological father . In season two , Caleb arrives at the Bates Motel but Norma immediately throws him out . However , Caleb bonds with Dylan , saying he helped protect Norma from their abusive father when they were children . Dylan defends Caleb to Norma , but he also repeatedly raped her for years during their childhood . This then escalates into a fight between Norman and Dylan until Norma intervenes by revealing that Caleb is Dylan 's father . After Norman ( in Norma 's persona ) attacks him for the rape , Caleb leaves town . He returns to help Dylan with a `` pot farm '' by building a barn . Dylan grows closer to Caleb and ponders telling Norma about his return , which is hastened by Norman and Emma spotting Caleb at the remote cabin . Norma and Caleb have an emotional reunion in which he apologizes to her , but she does not completely forgive him . After a curious neighbor to the farm seeks a gun runner to Canada , Caleb offers to take the job ; however , Dylan also needs the money to help Emma so he accompanies him . The dropoff is supposed to have been the neighbor 's demise , and Caleb manages to save Dylan . He then returns to beat the neighbor until he promises to leave Dylan alone and give them the promised money . Caleb leaves again , but not before telling Norma about Norman attacking him in the `` Mother '' persona .
+ Additionally , several of the players on this list played during an era when college freshmen were ineligible to compete at the varsity level and were forced to participate on either freshman or junior varsity teams . Since freshman and junior varsity points do not count toward official NCAA records , three players -- Pete Maravich , Oscar Robertson and Elvin Hayes -- only had three seasons to compile their totals . Larry Bird redshirted ( sat out ) his freshman year , and therefore , like Maravich , Robertson , and Hayes , his totals also cover only three seasons ( though in Bird 's case , unlike the others , it was his own choice not to play a fourth season at the college level ) . With the added benefits of a three - point line and a full extra year of varsity eligibility , their already - historical statistics would have been much higher . Maravich , a guard from LSU , not only owns the three highest single season averages in Division I history , but also the highest career total . Remarkably , he scored 3,667 points ( over 400 more than the next closest player ) in a mere 83 games . His record is considered nearly unbreakable ; the only player who could have potentially overtaken him as the top scorer in Division I history is Stephen Curry of Davidson , who had scored 2,635 points through his first three seasons of college basketball . However , Curry opted to forgo his final year of NCAA eligibility and moved on to the National Basketball Association ( NBA ) following his junior season in 2008 -- 09 .
+ `` 9 -- 3 '' is a poem by Welsh comedian and singer Max Boyce and refers to the match between Llanelli and the New Zealand All Blacks at Stradey Park in front of 26,000 supporters on 31 October 1972 . Llanelli took a 6 -- 0 lead through a converted try but New Zealand struck back to make it 6 -- 3 . A long distance Andy Hill penalty ensured Llanelli emerged victors by 9 -- 3 and the crowd famously ran onto the pitch at the end and carried off players such as Delme Thomas . The poem is best known for the line `` The day the pubs ran dry '' , as huge celebrations followed and many pubs in the town sold out of all alcoholic drinks .

The Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 ( 29 U.S.C. § 621 to 29 U.S.C. § 634 ) is a US labor law that forbids employment discrimination against anyone at least 40 years of age in the United States ( see 29 U.S.C. § 631 ) .

+ `` Brother , Can You Spare a Dime ? '' , also sung as `` Buddy , Can You Spare a Dime ? '' , is one of the best - known American songs of the Great Depression . Written in 1930 by lyricist E.Y. `` Yip '' Harburg and composer Jay Gorney , `` Brother , Can You Spare a Dime ? '' was part of the 1932 musical revue Americana ; the melody is based on a Russian - Jewish lullaby Gorney 's mother had sung to him as a child . It was considered by Republicans to be anti-capitalist propaganda , and almost dropped from the show ; attempts were made to ban it from the radio . The song became best known , however , through recordings by Bing Crosby and Rudy Vallee . They were released right before Franklin Delano Roosevelt 's election to the presidency . The Brunswick Crosby recording made on October 25 , 1932 with Lennie Hayton and his Orchestra became the best - selling record of its period , and came to be viewed as an anthem to the shattered dreams of the era .

+ Massachusetts was declared in a state of rebellion in February 1775 and the British garrison received orders to disarm the rebels and arrest their leaders , leading to the Battles of Lexington and Concord on 19 April 1775 . The Patriots laid siege to Boston , expelled royal officials from all the colonies , and took control through the establishment of Provincial Congresses . The Battle of Bunker Hill followed on June 17 , 1775 . It was a British victory -- but at a great cost : about 1,000 British casualties from a garrison of about 6,000 , as compared to 500 American casualties from a much larger force . The Second Continental Congress was divided on the best course of action , but eventually produced the Olive Branch Petition , in which they attempted to come to an accord with King George . The king , however , issued a Proclamation of Rebellion which stated that the states were `` in rebellion '' and the members of Congress were traitors .

+ In 1909 , William Howard Taft expanded the building southward , covering the tennis court . He placed the first Oval Office at the center of the addition 's south facade , reminiscent of the oval rooms of the White House . Later , at the outset of his presidency , Herbert Hoover rebuilt the West Wing , excavating a partial basement , and supporting it with structural steel . The completed building lasted less than seven months . On December 24 , 1929 , the West Wing was significantly damaged by an electrical fire . Hoover rebuilt it , and added air - conditioning .
+ The Empire of Japan aimed to dominate Asia and the Pacific and was already at war with the Republic of China in 1937 , but the world war is generally said to have begun on 1 September 1939 with the invasion of Poland by Nazi Germany and subsequent declarations of war on Germany by France and the United Kingdom . From late 1939 to early 1941 , in a series of campaigns and treaties , Germany conquered or controlled much of continental Europe , and formed the Axis alliance with Italy and Japan . Under the Molotov -- Ribbentrop Pact of August 1939 , Germany and the Soviet Union partitioned and annexed territories of their European neighbours , Poland , Finland , Romania and the Baltic states . The war continued primarily between the European Axis powers and the coalition of the United Kingdom and the British Commonwealth , with campaigns including the North Africa and East Africa campaigns , the aerial Battle of Britain , the Blitz bombing campaign , and the Balkan Campaign , as well as the long - running Battle of the Atlantic . On 22 June 1941 , the European Axis powers launched an invasion of the Soviet Union , opening the largest land theatre of war in history , which trapped the major part of the Axis military forces into a war of attrition . In December 1941 , Japan attacked the United States and European colonies in the Pacific Ocean , and quickly conquered much of the Western Pacific .

+ Taped at CBS Television City , studios 41 and 43 in Hollywood since its debut on March 26 , 1973 , the show was packaged by the distribution company Columbia Pictures Television , which has now been replaced by Sony Pictures Television . The Young and the Restless originally aired as a half - hour series on CBS and was the first soap opera to focus on the visual aspects of production , creating `` a look that broke with the visual conventions of the genre . '' Similar to the radio serials that had preceded them , soap operas at the time primarily focused on dialogue , characters , and story , with details like sets as secondary concerns . The Young and the Restless stood out by using unique lighting techniques and camera angles , similar to Hollywood - style productions . The style of videotaping included using out - of - the - ordinary camera angles and a large number of facial close - ups with bright lighting on the actors ' faces . Conboy said he used lighting to create `` artistic effects '' . Those effects made the series look dark , shadowy , and moody . The Young and the Restless ' look influenced the taping styles of other soap operas . When H. Wesley Kenney replaced Conboy as executive producer , he balanced the lighting of the scenes .
+ The chaplet may be repeated over a period of nine days as part of a novena . According to Faustina 's Diary , Jesus himself in a vision asked that the Divine Mercy Novena be prayed as a preparation for the Feast of the Divine Mercy , celebrated each year on first Sunday after Easter . The novena should begin on Good Friday . There is a prayer intention for specific group of people on each of the nine days . The last day intention , according to Jesus ' message to St. Faustina , is the most difficult of all : to pray for the people who are lukewarm and indifferent . Jesus described those people as follows :
+ According to Faustina 's visions , written in her diary , the chaplet 's prayers for mercy are threefold : to obtain mercy , to trust in Christ 's mercy , and to show mercy to others . Faustina wrote that Jesus promised that all who recite this chaplet at the hour of death or in the presence of the dying will receive great mercy . She wrote that Jesus said :
+ According to Roman Catholic tradition , the chaplet may be said at any time , but it is said especially on Divine Mercy Sunday and Fridays at 3 : 00 PM . The Chaplet is prayed daily at the National Shrine of The Divine Mercy in Stockbridge , Massachusetts . In the Philippines , Singapore , and Hong Kong the `` 3 o'clock Prayer '' is broadcast on radio and television stations daily at 3 : 00 p.m. In 2000 , Pope John Paul II ordained the Sunday after Easter Divine Mercy Sunday , where Roman Catholics remember the institution of the Sacrament of Penance . The hour Jesus died by crucifixion , 3 : 00 PM ( 15 : 00 ) , is called the Hour of Mercy . In a novena , the chaplet is usually said each of the nine days from Good Friday to Divine Mercy Sunday .

+ A touchdown is worth six points . The scoring team is also awarded the opportunity for an extra point or a two - point conversion . Afterwards , the team that scored the touchdown kicks off to the opposing team , if there is any time left .
+ Johannes Gutenberg , a goldsmith by profession , developed , circa 1439 , a printing system by adapting existing technologies to printing purposes , as well as making inventions of his own . Printing in East Asia had been prevalent since the Tang dynasty , and in Europe , woodblock printing based on existing screw presses was common by the 14th century . Gutenberg 's most important innovation was the development of hand - molded metal printing matrices , thus producing a movable type based printing press system . His newly devised hand mould made possible the precise and rapid creation of metal movable type in large quantities . Movable type had been hitherto unknown in Europe . In Europe , the two inventions , the hand mould and the printing press , together drastically reduced the cost of printing books and other documents , particularly in short print runs .
+ The wood thrush 's breeding range extends from Manitoba , Ontario and Nova Scotia in southern Canada to northern Florida and from the Atlantic coast to the Missouri River and the eastern Great Plains . It migrates to southern Mexico through to Panama in Central America in the winter , mostly in the lowlands along the Atlantic and Pacific coasts . It generally arrives on the U.S. Gulf Coast during the first week of April . Fall migration usually begins in mid-August and continues through mid-September . Migration takes place at night , allowing them to find their direction from the stars and orient themselves by detecting the Earth 's magnetic field .
+ Full - scale war broke out between the Việt Minh and France in late 1946 and the First Indochina War officially began . Realizing that colonialism was coming to an end worldwide , France decided to bring former emperor Bảo Đại back to power , as a political alternative to Ho Chi Minh . A Provisional Central Government was formed in 1948 , reuniting Annam and Tonkin , but the complete reunification of Vietnam was delayed for a year because of the problems posed by Cochinchina 's legal status . In July 1949 , the State of Vietnam was officially proclaimed , as a semi-independent country within the French Union , with Bảo Đại as Head of State . France was finally persuaded to relinquish its colonies in Indochina in 1954 when Viet Minh forces defeated the French at Dien Bien Phu . The 1954 Geneva Conference left Vietnam a divided nation , with Hồ Chí Minh 's communist DRV government ruling the North from Hanoi and Ngô Đình Diệm 's Republic of Vietnam , supported by the United States , ruling the South from Saigon . Between 1953 and 1956 , the North Vietnamese government instituted various agrarian reforms , including `` rent reduction '' and `` land reform '' , which resulted in significant political oppression . During the land reform , testimony from North Vietnamese witnesses suggested a ratio of one execution for every 160 village residents , which extrapolated nationwide would indicate nearly 100,000 executions . Because the campaign was concentrated mainly in the Red River Delta area , a lower estimate of 50,000 executions became widely accepted by scholars at the time . However , declassified documents from the Vietnamese and Hungarian archives indicate that the number of executions was much lower than reported at the time , although likely greater than 13,500 . In the South , Diem went about crushing political and religious opposition , imprisoning or killing tens of thousands .
+ The highest - paid NBA players by season over the past twelve seasons have received contracts with salaries noted in the twenty - million - dollar range . In this twelve - year span , Kevin Garnett received $28,000,000 , which was the highest salary payment of any NBA player , during the 2003 -- 04 season . Garnett has been the highest - paid NBA player per year in seven of the past twelve NBA seasons . Michael Jordan was the first NBA player to sign a contract worth over thirty million dollars in a season . During the 1997 -- 98 season , Jordan earned $33,000,000 . Kobe Bryant become just the second player to reach this milestone when the 2013 -- 14 season began . LeBron James became the third in the 2016 -- 17 season . Stephen Curry became the first player to eclipse $40 - Million per year when he signed a record 5 - year contract worth $201 - Million in 2017 .
+ The Beast is not of any one species of animal , but a chimera ( a mixture of several animals ) , who would probably be classified as a carnivore overall . He has the head structure and horns of a buffalo , the arms and body of a bear , the eyebrows of a gorilla , the jaws , teeth , and mane of a lion , the tusks of a wild boar and the legs and tail of a wolf . He also bears resemblance to mythical monsters like the Minotaur or a werewolf . He also has blue eyes , the one physical feature that does not change whether he is a beast or a human .

+ Inhabited by Native Americans for thousands of years before European exploration , it was colonized by the Spanish in 1598 as part of the Imperial Spanish viceroyalty of New Spain . It was named Nuevo México after the Aztec Valley of Mexico by Spanish settlers , 223 years before the establishment of the present - day country of Mexico . The present - day state of New Mexico was not named after , nor is it a part of , Mexico . Its geographic characteristics made settlement and effective political control difficult which prompted Mexico 's invasion and control of the area from 1824 to 1846 . New Mexico 's Spanish origins made cultural integration with Mexico unsuitable , which sparked the Revolt of 1837 and a growing economic association with the expanding United States . The 1848 Mexican -- American War indirectly capitalized on this tension and created the U.S. New Mexico Territory . It was admitted to the Union as the 47th state on January 6 , 1912 .
+ Earth rotates once in about 24 hours with respect to the Sun , but once every 23 hours , 56 minutes , and 4 seconds with respect to the stars ( see below ) . Earth 's rotation is slowing slightly with time ; thus , a day was shorter in the past . This is due to the tidal effects the Moon has on Earth 's rotation . Atomic clocks show that a modern day is longer by about 1.7 milliseconds than a century ago , slowly increasing the rate at which UTC is adjusted by leap seconds . Analysis of historical astronomical records shows a slowing trend of 2.3 milliseconds per century since the 8th century BC E .
+- In 1912 , the value of a touchdown was increased to six points . The end zone was also added . Before the addition of the end zone , forward passes caught beyond the goal line resulted in a loss of possession and a touchback . ( The increase from five points to six did not come until much later in Canada , and the touchdown remained only five points there until 1956 . )
+ Prior to this event , no solar eclipse had been visible across the entire contiguous United States since June 8 , 1918 ; not since the February 1979 eclipse had a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States . The path of totality touched 14 states , and the rest of the U.S. had a partial eclipse . The area of the path of totality was about 16 percent of the area of the United States , with most of this area over the ocean , not land . The event 's shadow began to cover land on the Oregon coast as a partial eclipse at 4 : 05 p.m. UTC ( 9 : 05 a.m. PDT ) , with the total eclipse beginning there at 5 : 16 p.m. UTC ( 10 : 16 a.m. PDT ) ; the total eclipse 's land coverage ended along the South Carolina coast at about 6 : 44 p.m. UTC ( 2 : 44 p.m. EDT ) . Visibility as a partial eclipse in Honolulu , Hawaii began with sunrise at 4 : 20 p.m. UTC ( 6 : 20 a.m. HST ) and ended by 5 : 25 p.m. UTC ( 7 : 25 a.m. HST ) .
+ The most formal dinner is served from the kitchen . When the meal is served , in addition to the central plate ( a service plate or dinner plate at supper ; at luncheon , a service plate or luncheon plate ) at each place there are a bread roll ( generally on a bread plate , sometimes in the napkin ) , napkin , and flatware ( knives and spoons to the right of the central plate , and forks to the left ) . Coffee is served in Butler Service style in demitasses , and a spoon placed on the saucer to the right of each handle . Serving dishes and utensils are not placed on the table for a formal dinner . The only exception in the West to these general rules is the protocol followed at the Spanish royal court , which was also adopted by the Austrian court , in which all cutlery was placed to the right of the central plate for each diner .
+ Informal settings generally have fewer utensils and dishes but use a layout based on more formal settings . Utensils are arranged in the order and according to the manner in which the diner will use them . In the West , forks , plate , butter knife , and napkin generally are placed to the left of the dinner plate , and knives , spoons , stemware and tumblers , cups , and saucers to the right . ( By contrast , formal settings in Armenia place the fork to the right of the dinner plate and informal settings in Turkey place the fork to the right of the dinner plate if not accompanied by a knife ) Sauceboats and serving dishes , when used , either are placed on the table or , more formally , may be kept on a side table .

+ A further distancing between the concepts of `` Tridentine Mass '' and `` Latin Mass '' was brought about by the 1964 Instruction on implementing the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council , which laid down that `` normally the epistle and gospel from the Mass of the day shall be read in the vernacular '' . Episcopal conferences were to decide , with the consent of the Holy See , what other parts , if any , of the Mass were to be celebrated in the vernacular . Permissions were thus granted from 1967 onwards to celebrate most of the Tridentine Mass in vernacular languages , including the Canon .
+ The Punic Wars were a series of three wars fought between Rome and Carthage from 264 BC to 146 BC . At the time , they were some of the largest wars that had ever taken place .

+ In the last million years since the Late Miocene , South America became connected with the continent of North America via the Panama Block that closed the marine Bolivar Trough , leading to the Great American Interchange , the interchange of biota from both continents . The first species discovered to have made the northward migration was Pliometanastes , a fossil ground sloth species , roughly the size of a modern black bear . Several migrations to the Southern Hemisphere were undertaken by tougher , North American mammal carnivores ; fewer species migrated in the opposite direction from south to north . The result of the intrusion of North American fauna was that hundreds of South American species became extinct in a relatively short time and that about 60 % of present - day South American mammals have evolved from North American species . However , some species were able to adapt and spread into North America . Apart from Pliometanastes , during the Irvingtonian stage of the mammal land stages , around 1.9 Ma , species as Pampatherium , a giant armadillo , ground sloth Megatherium , giant anteater Myrmecophaga , a Neogene capybara ( Hydrochoerus ) , Meizonyx , opossum Didelphis , and Mixotoxodon followed the route north . The terror bird Titanis was the only discovered South American carnivore species who made the journey into North America .
+ At first , the government was reluctant to engage in propaganda campaigns , but pressure from the media , the business sector and advertisers who wanted direction persuaded the government to take an active role . Even so , the government insisted that its actions were not propaganda , but a means of providing information . These efforts were slowly and haphazardly formed into a more unified propaganda effort , although never to the level of World War I .

Since then it has become a frequently recorded jazz standard often featured in popular culture ; Frank Sinatra 's 1964 version was closely associated with the Apollo missions to the Moon , and the Japanese animated series Neon Genesis Evangelion played the song ( as covered by various artists ) at the end of every episode .
+ The name Moloch results from a dysphemic vocalisation in the Second Temple period of a theonym based on the root mlk `` king '' . There are a number of Canaanite gods with names based on this root , which became summarily associated with Moloch , including Biblical מַלְכָּם Malkam `` great king '' ( KJV Milcom ) , which appears to refer to a god of the Ammonites , as well as Tyrian Melqart and others .

+ None of the German states had American colonies . In the 1670s , the first significant groups of German immigrants arrived in the British colonies , settling primarily in Pennsylvania , New York , and Virginia . Immigration continued in very large numbers during the 19th century , with eight million arrivals from Germany . Between 1820 and 1870 over seven and a half million German immigrants came to the United States -- more than doubling the entire population of the country .

+ Taxonomy ( from Ancient Greek τάξις ( taxis ) , meaning ' arrangement ' , and - νομία ( - nomia ) , meaning ' method ' ) is the science of defining and naming groups of biological organisms on the basis of shared characteristics . Organisms are grouped together into taxa ( singular : taxon ) and these groups are given a taxonomic rank ; groups of a given rank can be aggregated to form a super-group of higher rank , thus creating a taxonomic hierarchy . The principal ranks in modern use are domain , kingdom , phylum ( division is sometimes used in botany in place of phylum ) , class , order , family , genus and species . The Swedish botanist Carl Linnaeus is regarded as the father of taxonomy , as he developed a system known as Linnaean taxonomy for categorization of organisms and binomial nomenclature for naming organisms .

+ The Capture of USS Chesapeake , or the Battle of Boston Harbor , was fought on 1 June 1813 , between the Royal Navy 's frigate HMS Shannon and American frigate USS Chesapeake , as part of the War of 1812 between the United States and Great Britain . The Chesapeake was captured in a brief but intense action in which over 80 men were killed . This was the only frigate action of the war in which there was no preponderance of force on either side .
+ The first official Twenty20 matches were played on 13 June 2003 between the English counties in the Twenty20 Cup . The first season of Twenty20 in England was a relative success , with the Surrey Lions defeating the Warwickshire Bears by 9 wickets in the final to claim the title . The first Twenty20 match held at Lord 's , on 15 July 2004 between Middlesex and Surrey , attracted a crowd of 27,509 , the highest attendance for any county cricket game at the ground -- other than a one - day final -- since 1953 .
+ The composition of the House is established by Article One of the United States Constitution . The House is composed of Representatives who sit in congressional districts that are allocated to each of the 50 states on a basis of population as measured by the U.S. Census , with each district entitled to one representative . Since its inception in 1789 , all Representatives have been directly elected . The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at 435 . As of the 2010 Census , the largest delegation is that of California , with fifty - three representatives . Seven states have the smallest delegation possible , a single representative : Alaska , Delaware , Montana , North Dakota , South Dakota , Vermont , and Wyoming .
+ Representatives and Delegates serve for two - year terms , while the Resident Commissioner serves for four years . The Constitution permits the House to expel a member with a two - thirds vote . In the history of the United States , only five members have been expelled from the House ; in 1861 , three were removed for supporting the Confederate states ' secession : John Bullock Clark ( D - MO ) , John William Reid ( D - MO ) and Henry Cornelius Burnett ( D - KY ) . Michael Myers ( D - PA ) was expelled after his criminal conviction for accepting bribes in 1980 , and James Traficant ( D - OH ) was expelled in 2002 following his conviction for corruption . The House also has the power to formally censure or reprimand its members ; censure or reprimand of a member requires only a simple majority , and does not remove that member from office .

+ It plays a key role in chain elongation in fatty acid biosynthesis and polyketide biosynthesis .
+ Given the problems of the proton -- electron model , it was quickly accepted that the atomic nucleus is composed of protons and neutrons , although the precise nature of the neutron was initially unclear . Within months after the discovery of the neutron , Werner Heisenberg and Dmitri Ivanenko had proposed proton -- neutron models for the nucleus . Heisenberg 's landmark papers approached the description of protons and neutrons in the nucleus through quantum mechanics . While Heisenberg 's theory for protons and neutrons in the nucleus was a `` major step toward understanding the nucleus as a quantum mechanical system , '' he still assumed the presence of nuclear electrons . In particular , Heisenberg assumed the neutron was a proton -- electron composite , for which there is no quantum mechanical explanation . Heisenberg had no explanation for how lightweight electrons could be bound within the nucleus . Heisenberg introduced the first theory of nuclear exchange forces that bind the nucleons . He considered protons and neutrons to be different quantum states of the same particle , i.e. , nucleons distinguished by the value of their nuclear isospin quantum numbers .

+ Twenty20 cricket , sometimes written Twenty - 20 , and often abbreviated to T20 , is a short form of cricket . At the professional level , it was originally introduced by the England and Wales Cricket Board ( ECB ) in 2003 for the inter-county competition in England and Wales . In a Twenty20 game the two teams have a single innings each , which is restricted to a maximum of 20 overs . Together with first - class and List A cricket , Twenty20 is one of the three current forms of cricket recognised by the International Cricket Council ( ICC ) as being at the highest international or domestic level . A typical Twenty20 game is completed in about three hours , with each innings lasting around 75 -- 90 minutes and a 10 -- 20 - minute interval . This is much shorter than previously - existing forms of the game , and is closer to the timespan of other popular team sports . It was introduced to create a fast - paced form of the game which would be attractive to spectators at the ground and viewers on television .

+ A simple squamous epithelium is a single layer of flat cells in contact with the basal lamina ( one of the two layers of the basement membrane ) of the epithelium . This type of epithelium is often permeable and occurs where small molecules need to pass quickly through membranes via filtration or diffusion . Simple squamous epithelia are found in capillaries , alveoli , glomeruli , outer layer of skin and other tissues where rapid diffusion is required . Cells are flat with flattened and oblong nucleus . It is also called pavement epithelium due to its tile - like appearance . This epithelium is associated with filtration and diffusion. This tissue is extremely thin , and forms a delicate lining . It offers very little protection .
+ In 1930 , German engineer Werner Ruchti was contracted to design the traffic circle , which was to be based on European models . Construction was expedited in order to accommodate the increased vehicle traffic that was expected with the 1932 Summer Olympics , held in Los Angeles , as many of the aquatic and rowing events were to be held in Long Beach .
+ During the first two centuries of Christianity , the cross was rare in Christian iconography , as it depicts a purposely painful and gruesome method of public execution and Christians were reluctant to use it . A symbol similar to the cross , the staurogram , was used to abbreviate the Greek word for cross in very early New Testament manuscripts such as P66 , P45 and P75 , almost like a nomen sacrum ( nomina sacra ) . The extensive adoption of the cross as Christian iconographic symbol arose from the 4th century .
+ The Pardoner 's Tale is one of The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer . In the order of the Tales , it comes after The Physician 's Tale and before The Shipman 's Tale ; it is prompted by the Host 's desire to hear something positive after that depressing tale . The Pardoner initiates his Prologue -- briefly accounting his methods of conning people -- and then proceeds to tell a moral tale .
+ Drew also got married a number of times during this portion of the show . His first marriage was to Diane , a cocktail waitress in Las Vegas . This was only temporary however , as she needed Drew to retain custody of her children . His second marriage was to Mr. Wick , who forced Drew to marry him in a sham same - sex civil union in Vermont ( the only place it was legal at the time ) in hopes that the marriage would placate the Immigration and Naturalization Service . At the beginning of Season 7 , Drew married both Nikki and Kate ( the former had been a recurring character for some time since Season 3 , and suffered from weight problems ) . They found out about this and all three of these marriages ended in divorce , and Drew became known as the `` Impotent Bisexual Bigamist '' . Nikki eventually returned , and the actress , Kate Walsh , donned a fat suit again and moved in with Drew .
+ The memory in flash drives is commonly engineered with multi-level cell ( MLC ) based memory that is good for around 3,000 - 5,000 program - erase cycles , but some flash drives have single - level cell ( SLC ) based memory that is good for around 100,000 writes . There is virtually no limit to the number of reads from such flash memory , so a well - worn USB drive may be write - protected to help ensure the life of individual cells .
+ The tale itself is an extended exemplum . Setting out to kill Death , three young men encounter an Old Man who says they will find him under a nearby tree . When they arrive they discover a hoard of treasure and decide to stay with it until nightfall and carry it away under cover of darkness . Out of greed , they murder each other . The tale and prologue are primarily concerned with what the Pardoner says is his `` theme '' : Radix malorum est cupiditas ( `` Greed is the root of ( all ) evils '' ) .
+ Brian Lara took the least number of innings ( 195 ) to reach the 10,000 run mark , later equalled by Sachin Tendulkar and Kumar Sangakkara , while Australia 's Steve Waugh took 244 innings to achieve the feat . Alastair Cook is the fastest in terms of time span , taking 10 years and 87 days . The time taken by Shivnarine Chanderpaul ( 18 years and 37 days ) is the slowest among all . As of May 2017 , Tendulkar leads the list with 15,921 runs followed by Ricky Ponting of Australia with 13,378 .
+ However , the cross symbol was already associated with Christians in the 2nd century , as is indicated in the anti-Christian arguments cited in the Octavius of Minucius Felix , chapters IX and XXIX , written at the end of that century or the beginning of the next , and by the fact that by the early 3rd century the cross had become so closely associated with Christ that Clement of Alexandria , who died between 211 and 216 , could without fear of ambiguity use the phrase τὸ κυριακὸν σημεῖον ( the Lord 's sign ) to mean the cross , when he repeated the idea , current as early as the apocryphal Epistle of Barnabas , that the number 318 ( in Greek numerals , ΤΙΗ ) in Genesis 14 : 14 was interpreted as a foreshadowing ( a `` type '' ) of the cross ( T , an upright with crossbar , standing for 300 ) and of Jesus ( ΙΗ , the first two letter of his name ΙΗΣΟΥΣ , standing for 18 ) , and his contemporary Tertullian could designate the body of Christian believers as crucis religiosi , i.e. `` devotees of the Cross '' . In his book De Corona , written in 204 , Tertullian tells how it was already a tradition for Christians to trace repeatedly on their foreheads the sign of the cross . The crucifix , a cross upon which an image of Christ is present , is not known to have been used until the 6th century AD .

+ Thirty - three amendments to the United States Constitution have been proposed by the United States Congress and sent to the states for ratification since the Constitution was put into operation on March 4 , 1789 . Twenty - seven of these , having been ratified by the requisite number of states , are part of the Constitution . The first ten amendments were adopted and ratified simultaneously and are known collectively as the Bill of Rights . Six amendments adopted by Congress and sent to the states have not been ratified by the required number of states . Four of these amendments are still technically open and pending , one is closed and has failed by its own terms , and one is closed and has failed by the terms of the resolution proposing it .

- Woods has won 14 majors , second all time , behind Jack Nicklaus .
- Woods is 14 -- 1 when going into the final round of a major with at least a share of the lead .
- Woods scoring average in 2000 is the lowest in PGA Tour history , both adjusted , 67.79 , and unadjusted , 68.17 .
- Woods has the lowest career scoring average in PGA Tour history .
- Woods has amassed the most career earnings of any player in PGA Tour history ( even after inflation is considered ) .

- Woods is the only player to have won all four professional major championships in a row , accomplishing the feat in the 2000 -- 2001 seasons . This feat became known as the `` Tiger Slam '' .
- Woods set the all - time PGA Tour record for most consecutive cuts made , with 142 . The streak started in 1998 , he set the record at the 2003 Tour Championship with 114 ( passing Byron Nelson 's previous record of 113 and Jack Nicklaus at 105 ) and extended this mark to 142 before it ended on May 13 , 2005 at the EDS Byron Nelson Championship . Many consider this to be one of the most remarkable golf accomplishments of all time , given the margin by which he broke the old record and given that during the streak , the next longest streak by any other player was usually only in the 10s or 20s . It should be noted that when Byron Nelson played far fewer players made the cut in a given event .

+ The Cylinder 's text has traditionally been seen by biblical scholars as corroborative evidence of Cyrus ' policy of the repatriation of the Jewish people following their Babylonian captivity ( an act that the Book of Ezra attributes to Cyrus ) , as the text refers to the restoration of cult sanctuaries and repatriation of deported peoples . This interpretation has been disputed , as the text identifies only Mesopotamian sanctuaries , and makes no mention of Jews , Jerusalem , or Judea . The Cylinder has also been referred to by Mohammad Reza Pahlavi , the last Shah of Iran as the first declaration of universal human rights , a view rejected by some historians as anachronistic and a misunderstanding of the Cylinder 's generic nature as a typical statement made by a new monarch at the beginning of his reign . Neil MacGregor , Director of the British Museum , has stated that the cylinder was `` the first attempt we know about running a society , a state with different nationalities and faiths -- a new kind of statecraft . '' It was adopted as a national symbol of Iran by the Imperial State which put it on display in Tehran in 1971 to commemorate 2,500 year celebration of the Persian Empire . On October 14 , the Mohammad Reza Shah 's sister , Princess Ashraf Pahlavi , presented the United Nations Secretary General U Thant with a replica of the Cylinder .

+ It is also known as an `` immediate hemolytic transfusion reaction '' . This is a medical emergency as it results from rapid destruction of the donor red blood cells by host antibodies ( IgG , IgM ) . It is usually related to ABO blood group incompatibility - the most severe of which often involves group A red cells being given to a patient with group O type blood . Properdin then binds to complement C3 in the donor blood , facilitating the reaction through the alternate pathway cascade . The donor cells also become coated with IgG and are subsequently removed by macrophages in the reticuloendothelial system ( RES ) . Jaundice and disseminated intravascular coagulation ( DIC ) may also occur . The most common cause is clerical error ( i.e. the wrong unit of blood being given to the patient ) .

+ With the Intertropical Convergence Zone ( ITCZ ) swinging northward over West Africa from the Southern Hemisphere in April , heavy showers coming from pre-monsoonal convective clouds mainly in the form of squall lines also known as the north easterlies formed mainly as a result of the interactions of the two dominant airmasses in Nigeria known as the Maritime tropical ( south westerlies ) and the Continental tropical ( north easterlies ) , begins in central Nigeria while the Monsoons from the south atlantic ocean arrives in central Nigeria in July bringing with it high humidity , heavy cloud cover and heavy rainfall which can be daily occurrence lasting till September when the monsoons gradually begin retreating southward to the southern part of Nigeria. Rainfall totals in central Nigeria varies from 1,100 mm ( 43.3 in ) in the lowlands of the river Niger Benue trough to over 2,000 mm ( 78.7 in ) along the south western escarpment of the Jos Plateau .
+ The earliest predecessors of the eye were photoreceptor proteins that sense light , found even in unicellular organisms , called `` eyespots '' . Eyespots can only sense ambient brightness : they can distinguish light from dark , sufficient for photoperiodism and daily synchronization of circadian rhythms . They are insufficient for vision , as they can not distinguish shapes or determine the direction light is coming from . Eyespots are found in nearly all major animal groups , and are common among unicellular organisms , including euglena . The euglena 's eyespot , called a stigma , is located at its anterior end . It is a small splotch of red pigment which shades a collection of light sensitive crystals . Together with the leading flagellum , the eyespot allows the organism to move in response to light , often toward the light to assist in photosynthesis , and to predict day and night , the primary function of circadian rhythms . Visual pigments are located in the brains of more complex organisms , and are thought to have a role in synchronising spawning with lunar cycles . By detecting the subtle changes in night - time illumination , organisms could synchronise the release of sperm and eggs to maximise the probability of fertilisation .
+ As a result of the report , Joseph Rowntree 's conviction that it must be possible to provide better housing for people on low incomes led him to acquire 150 acres of land near the village of Earswick , two and a half miles to the north of the centre of York .

+- Very little infrastructure is required for long - distance two - way communications using shortwave radio . All one needs is a pair of transceivers , each with an antenna , and a source of energy ( such as a battery , a portable generator , or the electrical grid ) . This makes shortwave radio one of the most robust means of communications , which can be disrupted only by interference or bad ionospheric conditions . Modern digital transmission modes such as MFSK and Olivia are even more robust , allowing successful reception of signals well below the noise floor of a conventional receiver .
+ In vertebrates , the gallbladder is a small hollow organ where bile is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine . In humans , the pear - shaped gallbladder lies beneath the liver , although the structure and position of the gallbladder can vary significantly among animal species .

+ Lithium and its compounds have several industrial applications , including heat - resistant glass and ceramics , lithium grease lubricants , flux additives for iron , steel and aluminium production , lithium batteries , and lithium - ion batteries . These uses consume more than three quarters of lithium production .
+ Late in the 20th century , lithium became an important component of battery electrolytes and electrodes , because of its high electrode potential . Because of its low atomic mass , it has a high charge - and power - to - weight ratio . A typical lithium - ion battery can generate approximately 3 volts per cell , compared with 2.1 volts for lead - acid or 1.5 volts for zinc - carbon cells . Lithium - ion batteries , which are rechargeable and have a high energy density , should not be confused with lithium batteries , which are disposable ( primary ) batteries with lithium or its compounds as the anode . Other rechargeable batteries that use lithium include the lithium - ion polymer battery , lithium iron phosphate battery , and the nanowire battery .
+ The story in the book takes place in Tulsa , Oklahoma , in 1965 , but this is never explicitly stated in the book .
+ The provisions relating to the right to property were changed a number of times . The Forty - Fourth Amendment of 1978 deleted the right to property from the list of fundamental rights A new provision , Article 300 - A , was added to the constitution , which provided that `` no person shall be deprived of his property save by authority of law '' . Thus if a legislature makes a law depriving a person of his property , there would be no obligation on the part of the State to pay anything as compensation . The aggrieved person shall have no right to move the court under Article 32 . Thus , the right to property is no longer a fundamental right , though it is still a constitutional right . If the government appears to have acted unfairly , the action can be challenged in a court of law by aggrieved citizens .

+ Nigeria is the largest oil and gas producer in Africa . Crude oil from the delta basin comes in two types : light , and comparatively heavy -- the lighter around 36 gravity and the heavier , 20 -- 25 gravity . Both types are paraffinic and low in sulfur .
+ Hops production is concentrated in moist temperate climates , with much of the world 's production occurring near the 48th parallel north . Hop plants prefer the same soils as potatoes and the leading potato - growing states in the United States are also major hops - producing areas ; however , not all potato - growing areas can produce good hops naturally : soils in the Maritime Provinces of Canada , for example , lack the boron that hops prefer . Historically , hops were not grown in Ireland , but were imported from England . In 1752 more than 500 tons of English hops were imported through Dublin alone .
+ The Proud Family is a soundtrack album for the show of the same name .

+ For thousands of years , seawater pearls were retrieved by divers in the Indian Ocean in areas such as the Persian Gulf , the Red Sea and the Gulf of Mannar . Evidence also suggest a prehistoric origin to pearl diving in these regions . Starting in the Han Dynasty ( 206 BC -- 220 AD ) , the Chinese hunted extensively for seawater pearls in the South China Sea . In the 14th - century Arabian Sea , the traveller Ibn Battuta provided the earliest known description of pearl diving by means of attaching a cord to the diver 's waist .

Meredith is relatively unscathed , while the rest have serious injuries : the pilot , Jerry ( James LeGros ) , has a major spine injury , and Yang dislocates her arm . Robbins ' femur is broken and sticking through the skin , Sloan has serious internal injuries ; though initially adrenaline keeps him on his feet . Shepherd is sucked out the side of the plane and awakens alone in the wood ; his mangled hand having been pushed through the door of the plane . However , none are in as bad shape as Lexie , who is crushed under a piece of the plane . While Meredith searches for Shepherd , Yang and Sloan try to move the debris off Lexie . Eventually , the two realize that they can not save her , so Sloan holds her hand while she dies , telling her that he loves her . As Sloan tells her of the life the two were meant to have together , Lexie dies with a smile on her face just as Meredith and Yang are approaching .
+ Spike , occasionally referred to as Butch or Killer , is a stern but occasionally dumb American bulldog who is particularly disapproving of cats , but a softie when it comes to mice ( though in his debut appearance , Dog Trouble , Spike goes after both Tom and Jerry ) , and later , his son Tyke . In the shorts Jerry would often try to get Tom in trouble with Spike making him a shoo - in for a beating from the bulldog . Spike has a few weaknesses that Tom tries to capitalize upon : his possessiveness about his bone and his ticklishness . He made his first appearance in the 1942 Tom and Jerry cartoon Dog Trouble , and his first speaking role was in 1944 's The Bodyguard , where he was voiced by Billy Bletcher up until 1949 , from which point he was voiced by Daws Butler . Unlike his father Spike , Tyke does not speak . He only communicates by yapping , whimpering , growling , facial expressions and wagging his tail . In Tom and Jerry Kids , Tyke does have a speaking role in the program and is the first time that viewers were able to hear Tyke speak . Spike is very protective towards his son and gets very angry at Tom if Tyke is bothered or harmed . Although Tyke has spoken in Tom and Jerry Kids , he has laughed in one Tom and Jerry short . After Daws Butler , Maurice LaMarche , Frank Welker , John DiMaggio , Michael Donovan , Phil LaMarr and currently Rick Zieff would all perform Spike 's voice . Tyke 's vocal effects are provided by Frank Welker and speaking roles by Patric Zimmerman .
+ The story of Shakespeare 's Hamlet was derived from the legend of Amleth , preserved by 13th - century chronicler Saxo Grammaticus in his Gesta Danorum , as subsequently retold by the 16th - century scholar François de Belleforest . Shakespeare may also have drawn on an earlier Elizabethan play known today as the Ur - Hamlet , though some scholars believe he himself wrote the Ur - Hamlet , later revising it to create the version of Hamlet we now have . He almost certainly wrote his version of the title role for his fellow actor , Richard Burbage , the leading tragedian of Shakespeare 's time . In the 400 years since its inception , the role has been performed by numerous highly acclaimed actors in each successive century .
+ At least two Jeep models ( the CJ - 5 and the SJ Wagoneer ) enjoyed extraordinary three - decade production runs of a single body generation .

+ The Great Gatsby is a 1925 novel written by American author F. Scott Fitzgerald that follows a cast of characters living in the fictional town of West Egg on prosperous Long Island in the summer of 1922 . The story primarily concerns the young and mysterious millionaire Jay Gatsby and his quixotic passion and obsession for the beautiful former debutante Daisy Buchanan . Considered to be Fitzgerald 's magnum opus , The Great Gatsby explores themes of decadence , idealism , resistance to change , social upheaval , and excess , creating a portrait of the Jazz Age or the Roaring Twenties that has been described as a cautionary tale regarding the American Dream .
+ Set on the prosperous Long Island of 1922 , The Great Gatsby provides a critical social history of America during the Roaring Twenties within its fictional narrative . That era , known for unprecedented economic prosperity , the evolution of jazz music flapper culture , new technologies in communication ( motion pictures , broadcast radio , recorded music ) forging a genuine mass culture ; and bootlegging , along with other criminal activity , is plausibly depicted in Fitzgerald 's novel . Fitzgerald uses many of these societal developments of the 1920s that were to build Gatsby 's stories from many of the simple details like automobiles to broader themes like Fitzgerald 's discreet allusions to the organized crime culture which was the source of Gatsby 's fortune . Fitzgerald depicts the garish society of the Roaring Twenties by placing the book 's plotline within the historical context of the era .

+ The process of fertilization involves a sperm fusing with an ovum . The most common sequence begins with ejaculation during copulation , follows with ovulation , and finishes with fertilization . Various exceptions to this sequence are possible , including artificial insemination , in vitro fertilization , external ejaculation without copulation , or copulation shortly after ovulation . Upon encountering the secondary oocyte , the acrosome of the sperm produces enzymes which allow it to burrow through the outer jelly coat of the egg . The sperm plasma then fuses with the egg 's plasma membrane , the sperm head disconnects from its flagellum and the egg travels down the Fallopian tube to reach the uterus .

+ In the 12th century , luxury increased and bedsteads were made of wood much decorated with inlaid , carved , and painted ornamentation . They also used folding beds , which served as couches by day and had cushions covered with silk laid upon leather . At night a linen sheet was spread and pillows placed , while silk - covered skins served as coverlets . The Carolingian manuscripts show metal bedsteads much higher at the head than at the feet , and this shape continued in use until the 13th century in France , many cushions being added to raise the body to a sloping position .

+ On the Origin of Species ( or more completely , On the Origin of Species by Means of Natural Selection , or the Preservation of Favoured Races in the Struggle for Life ) , published on 24 November 1859 , is a work of scientific literature by Charles Darwin which is considered to be the foundation of evolutionary biology .

+ Philosopher George Berkeley , in his work , A Treatise Concerning the Principles of Human Knowledge ( 1710 ) , proposes , `` But , say you , surely there is nothing easier than for me to imagine trees , for instance , in a park ( ... ) and nobody by to perceive them . ( ... ) The objects of sense exist only when they are perceived ; the trees therefore are in the garden ( ... ) no longer than while there is somebody by to perceive them . '' ( It is worth noting that the quote from section 45 is arguably a statement of an objection to Berkeley 's view , and not a proclamation of it . ) Nevertheless , Berkeley never actually wrote about the question .
+ The current phrasing appears to have originated in the 1910 book Physics by Charles Riborg Mann and George Ransom Twiss . The question `` When a tree falls in a lonely forest , and no animal is near by to hear it , does it make a sound ? Why ?

+ The American entry into World War I came in April 1917 , after more than two and a half years of efforts by President Woodrow Wilson to keep the United States out of the war . Apart from an Anglophile element urging early support for the British , American public opinion reflected that of the president : the sentiment for neutrality was particularly strong among Irish Americans , German Americans and Scandinavian Americans , as well as among church leaders and among women in general . On the other hand , even before World War I had broken out , American opinion had been more negative toward Germany than towards any other country in Europe . Over time , especially after reports of atrocities in Belgium in 1914 and following the sinking of the passenger liner RMS Lusitania in 1915 , the American people increasingly came to see Germany as the aggressor in Europe .
+ The term `` spirit '' in reference to alcohol stems from Middle Eastern alchemy . These alchemists were more concerned with medical elixirs than with transmuting lead into gold .

+ During the years 1869 -- 1888 of the so - called `` Rewarding Truce '' , lasting for 17 years from the end of the Ten Years ' War in 1878 , there were fundamental social changes in Cuban society . With the abolition of slavery in October 1886 , freedmen joined the ranks of farmers and the urban working class . The economy could no longer sustain itself with the shift and changes ; therefore , many wealthy Cubans lost their property , and joined the urban middle class . The number of sugar mills dropped and efficiency increased : only companies , and the most powerful plantation owners , remained in business followed by the Central Board of Artisans in 1879 , and many more across the island . After his second deportation to Spain in 1878 , José Martí moved to the United States in 1881 . There he mobilized the support of the Cuban exile community , especially in Ybor City ( Tampa area ) and Key West , Florida . His goal was revolution in order to achieve independence from Spain . Martí lobbied against the U.S. annexation of Cuba , which was desired by some politicians in both the U.S. and Cuba .

+ The ability to compare ammunition is a direct result of the invention of rifling around the turn of the 16th century . By forcing the bullet to spin as it travels down the barrel of the weapon the bullet 's accuracy greatly increases . At the same time , the rifling leaves marks on the bullet that are indicative of that particular barrel . Prior to mass production of firearms , each barrel and bullet mold was hand made by gunsmiths making them unique . The first successful documented case of forensic firearm examination occurred in 1835 when a member of the Bow Street Runners in London matched a recovered bullet from a murder victim to a specific mold in a suspect 's home confirming that he made the bullet . Further evidence that the bullet maker was the perpetrator was found in his home and he was convicted . As manufacturing and automation replaced hand tools , the ability to compare bullets became impossible due to the standardization of molds within a specific company . However , experts in the field postulated that there were microscopic differences on each barrel left during the manufacturing process . These differences were a result of wear on the machines and since each new weapon caused a tiny amount of wear , each barrel would be slightly different from every other barrel produced by that company . Also , each bullet fired from a specific barrel would be printed with the same marks , allowing investigators to identify the weapon that fired a specific bullet .
+ - Sanitary napkins ( also called sanitary towels or pads ) -- Rectangular pieces of material worn attached to the underwear to absorb menstrual flow , often with an adhesive backing to hold the pad in place .

+ Brain tissue consumes a large amount of energy in proportion to its volume , so large brains place severe metabolic demands on animals . The need to limit body weight in order , for example , to fly , has apparently led to selection for a reduction of brain size in some species , such as bats . Most of the brain 's energy consumption goes into sustaining the electric charge ( membrane potential ) of neurons . Most vertebrate species devote between 2 % and 8 % of basal metabolism to the brain . In primates , however , the percentage is much higher -- in humans it rises to 20 -- 25 % . The energy consumption of the brain does not vary greatly over time , but active regions of the cerebral cortex consume somewhat more energy than inactive regions ; this forms the basis for the functional brain imaging methods PET , fMRI , and NIRS . The brain typically gets most of its energy from oxygen - dependent metabolism of glucose ( i.e. , blood sugar ) , but ketones provide a major alternative source , together with contributions from medium chain fatty acids ( caprylic and heptanoic acids ) , lactate , acetate , and possibly amino acids .

+ John Brown 's raid on Harper 's Ferry ( also known as John Brown 's raid or The raid on Harper 's Ferry ) was an effort by armed abolitionist John Brown to initiate an armed slave revolt in 1859 by taking over a United States arsenal at Harpers Ferry , Virginia .

+ A board of directors is a recognized group of people who jointly oversee the activities of an organization , which can be either a for - profit business , nonprofit organization , or a government agency . Such a board 's powers , duties , and responsibilities are determined by government regulations ( including the jurisdiction 's corporations law ) and the organization 's own constitution and bylaws . These authorities may specify the number of members of the board , how they are to be chosen , and how often they are to meet .
+ The small intestine or small bowel is the part of the gastrointestinal tract between the stomach and the large intestine , and is where most of the end absorption of food takes place . The small intestine has three distinct regions -- the duodenum , jejunum , and ileum . The duodenum is the shortest part of the small intestine and is where preparation for absorption begins . It also receives bile and pancreatic juice through the pancreatic duct , controlled by the sphincter of Oddi . The primary function of the small intestine is the absorption of nutrients and minerals from food , using small finger - like protrusions called villi .
+ A subcutaneous injection is administered as a bolus into the subcutis , the layer of skin directly below the dermis and epidermis , collectively referred to as the cutis . Subcutaneous injections are highly effective in administering vaccines and medications such as insulin , morphine , diacetylmorphine and goserelin . Subcutaneous , as opposed to intravenous , injection of recreational drugs is referred to as `` skin popping '' . Subcutaneous administration may be abbreviated as SC , SQ , sub-cu , sub-Q , SubQ , or subcut . Subcut is the preferred abbreviation for patient safety .
+ The theory is generally associated with Hirschman . He presented a complete theoretical formulation of the strategy . Underdeveloped countries display common characteristics : low levels of GNI per capita and slow GNI per capita growth , large income inequalities and widespread poverty , low levels of productivity , great dependence on agriculture , a backward industrial structure , a high proportion of consumption and low savings , high rates of population growth and dependency burdens , high unemployment and underemployment , technological backwardness and dualism ( existence of both traditional and modern sectors ) . In a less - developed country , these characteristics lead to scarce resources or inadequate infrastructure to exploit these resources . With a lack of investors and entrepreneurs , cash flows can not be directed into various sectors that influence balanced economic growth .
+ The eighth and final season of the fantasy drama television series Game of Thrones was announced by HBO in July 2016 . Unlike the first six seasons that each had ten episodes and the seventh that had seven episodes , the eighth season will have only six episodes . Like the previous season , it will largely consist of original content not found currently in George R.R. Martin 's A Song of Ice and Fire series , and will instead adapt material Martin has revealed to showrunners about the upcoming novels in the series , The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring .

+ The gymnosperms are a group of seed - producing plants that includes conifers , cycads , Ginkgo , and gnetophytes . The term `` gymnosperm '' comes from the Greek composite word γυμνόσπερμος ( γυμνός gymnos , `` naked '' and σπέρμα sperma , `` seed '' ) , meaning `` naked seeds '' . The name is based on the unenclosed condition of their seeds ( called ovules in their unfertilized state ) . The non-encased condition of their seeds stands in contrast to the seeds and ovules of flowering plants ( angiosperms ) , which are enclosed within an ovary . Gymnosperm seeds develop either on the surface of scales or leaves , which are often modified to form cones , or solitary as in Yew , Torreya , Ginkgo .
+ A primary ossification center is the first area of a bone to start ossifying . It usually appears during prenatal development in the central part of each developing bone . In long bones the primary centers occur in the diaphysis / shaft and in irregular bones the primary centers occur usually in the body of the bone . Most bones have only one primary center ( e.g. all long bones ) but some irregular bones such as the os coxa ( hip ) and vertebrae have multiple primary centers .

J.K. Rowling , author of the Harry Potter series , had Coltrane at the top of her list to play Hagrid and , when asked whom she would like to see in the role , responded `` Robbie Coltrane for Hagrid '' in one quick breath . There is also an unnamed 8ft actor who stands in for the 6ft 1in Coltrane in some scenes .

+ The Rana rulers of Nepal made Vikram Samvat the official Hindu calendar in 1901 CE , which started as Samvat 1958 . In Nepal , the new year begins with the first day of the month of Baishakh , which usually falls within the months of April -- May in the Gregorian calendar . The first day of the new year is passionately celebrated in a historical carnival that takes place every year in Bhaktapur , called Bisket Jatra.As before , from 2007 AD Nepal Sambat is recognized as the national calender .

+ A justice of the peace ( JP ) is a judicial officer , of a lower or puisne court , elected or appointed by means of a commission ( letters patent ) to keep the peace . In past centuries the term commissioner of the peace was often used with the same meaning . Depending on the jurisdiction , such justices dispense summary justice or merely deal with local administrative applications in common law jurisdictions . Justices of the peace are appointed or elected from the citizens of the jurisdiction in which they serve , and are ( or were ) usually not required to have any formal legal education in order to qualify for the office . Some jurisdictions have varying forms of training for JPs .
+ As a technique for drawing , the closest predecesor to the pencil was Silverpoint until in 1565 ( some sources say as early as 1500 ) , a large deposit of graphite was discovered on the approach to Grey Knotts from the hamlet of Seathwaite in Borrowdale parish , Cumbria , England . This particular deposit of graphite was extremely pure and solid , and it could easily be sawn into sticks . It remains the only large - scale deposit of graphite ever found in this solid form . Chemistry was in its infancy and the substance was thought to be a form of lead . Consequently , it was called plumbago ( Latin for `` lead ore '' ) . Because the pencil core is still referred to as `` lead '' , or a `` lead '' , many people have the misconception that the graphite in the pencil is lead , and the black core of pencils is still referred to as lead , even though it never contained the element lead . The words for pencil in German ( bleistift ) , Irish ( peann luaidhe ) , Arabic ( قلم رصاص qalam raṣāṣ ) , and some other languages literally mean lead pen .

+ - Doctor Poison appears in the DC Extended Universe film Wonder Woman ( 2017 ) , portrayed by Elena Anaya . In this adaptation , her identity is Isabel Maru , a Spanish chemist recruited by General Erich Ludendorff to create chemical weapons for the German army . Due to facial disfigurement , she wears a ceramic mask over the left side of her face . It marks the character 's first live action appearance , although the setting is World War I rather than the World War II setting of the comic books . When Steve Trevor steals a book of Doctor Maru 's notes on her new chemical weapons that would render the gas masks useless against them , he crash - lands on Themyscira during his escape , which alerts Diana to the current war . She initially believes that Ares is directly responsible for the war , but later learns that all he did was provide a few ideas for the weapons to the likes of Maru while the decision to use the weapons was still the choice of the humans themselves . Ares attempts to sway Diana to his point of view by offering her a chance to kill Maru for her sins and part in the war , but Diana rejects his offer upon realizing of Trevor 's sacrifice that inspires her to recognize that she must accept humanity for its flaws rather than condemn it for not being perfect . This leads Diana to spare Maru out of mercy , who then flees .
+ DNA usually occurs as linear chromosomes in eukaryotes , and circular chromosomes in prokaryotes . The set of chromosomes in a cell makes up its genome ; the human genome has approximately 3 billion base pairs of DNA arranged into 46 chromosomes . The information carried by DNA is held in the sequence of pieces of DNA called genes . Transmission of genetic information in genes is achieved via complementary base pairing . For example , in transcription , when a cell uses the information in a gene , the DNA sequence is copied into a complementary RNA sequence through the attraction between the DNA and the correct RNA nucleotides . Usually , this RNA copy is then used to make a matching protein sequence in a process called translation , which depends on the same interaction between RNA nucleotides . In alternative fashion , a cell may simply copy its genetic information in a process called DNA replication . The details of these functions are covered in other articles ; here the focus is on the interactions between DNA and other molecules that mediate the function of the genome .
+ 1877 is also the year that the trainer Etienne de Mestre won his fourth Melbourne Cup with Chester owned by Hon . James White . In 1878 , as in previous years De Mestre fielded more than one horse . He entered the favourite Firebell ( owned by W.S. Cox ) who finished last , Chester ( owned by Hon . James White ) the previous year 's winner who fell , and Calamia ( owned by de Mestre ) who , though less fancied , won easily by two lengths . First prize was £ 1,790 , the crowd was 80,000 and there were 30 starters . De Mestre 's 1878 win with Calamia brought to 5 the number of Melbourne Cups he had won . This record was not to be matched for nearly 100 years when the trainer Bart Cummings won his fifth Melbourne Cup in 1975 . Bart Cummings , regarded as the best Australian horse trainer of all time , went on to win 12 Melbourne Cups to 2008 .

+ The Roosevelt Corollary was an addition to the Monroe Doctrine articulated by President Theodore Roosevelt in his State of the Union address in 1904 after the Venezuela Crisis of 1902 -- 03 . The corollary states that the United States will intervene in conflicts between European countries and Latin American countries to enforce legitimate claims of the European powers , rather than having the Europeans press their claims directly .
+ Within eukaryotic cells , DNA is organized into long structures called chromosomes . During cell division these chromosomes are duplicated in the process of DNA replication , providing each cell its own complete set of chromosomes . Eukaryotic organisms ( animals , plants , fungi and protists ) store most of their DNA inside the cell nucleus and some of their DNA in organelles , such as mitochondria or chloroplasts . In contrast prokaryotes ( bacteria and archaea ) store their DNA only in the cytoplasm . Within the eukaryotic chromosomes , chromatin proteins such as histones compact and organize DNA . These compact structures guide the interactions between DNA and other proteins , helping control which parts of the DNA are transcribed .

+ A regulatory site ( also known as an `` allosteric site '' ) is a site on an allosteric protein to which a modulator molecule ( or allosteric regulator ) binds . This ligand - binding site on a receptor or enzyme is distinct from the active site . Allosteric modulators alter enzyme activity by binding to the regulatory site . Some allosteric regulators activate enzymes , while others inhibit them . The working hypothesis is that when allosteric regulators bind to the regulatory site , the protein undergoes conformational changes which changes the enzyme 's activity .
+ The 1924 Winter Olympics , officially known as the I Olympic Winter Games , and known at the time as Semaine Internationale des Sports d'Hiver ( `` International Winter Sports Week '' ) , was a winter multi-sport event held in Chamonix , France , from 25 January to 5 February 1924 . Norway topped the table , collecting seventeen medals in total , including four gold , three of which were won by Thorleif Haug in the nordic combined and cross-country skiing events . Norway also achieved two podium sweeps , winning all three medals in both the 50 km cross-country skiing and the nordic combined . This remained a record at the Winter Olympics until 2014 .
+ `` What a Friend We Have in Jesus '' is a Christian hymn originally written by Joseph M. Scriven as a poem in 1855 to comfort his mother who was living in Ireland while he was in Canada . Scriven originally published the poem anonymously , and only received full credit for it in the 1880s . The tune to the hymn was composed by Charles Crozat Converse in 1868 . William Bolcom composed a setting of the hymn .
+ In the aftermath of the disputed 1824 presidential election , the separate factions took on many characteristics of parties in their own right . Adams ' supporters , in league with Clay , favored modernization , banks , industrial development and federal spending for roads and other internal improvements , which the Old Republicans and the Jackson men usually opposed . Writing in his personal journal on December 13 , 1826 , President Adams noted the difficulty he faced in attempting to be nonpartisan in appointing men to office :
+ `` You 'll Never Find Another Love Like Mine '' ( written by Kenny Gamble & Leon Huff ) is a song performed by R&B singer Lou Rawls on his 1976 album All Things in Time . The song proved to be Rawls ' breakthrough hit , reaching number one on both the R&B and Easy Listening charts as well as number four on the dance chart and number two on the US Billboard Hot 100 , where it was kept from the top spot for two weeks by `` You Should Be Dancing '' by The Bee Gees and `` ( Shake , Shake , Shake ) Shake Your Booty '' by KC and the Sunshine Band , respectively . This was the first and only time that one of Rawls ' records managed to reach Billboard 's pop top ten .

+ The Earth 's magnetic field serves to deflect most of the solar wind , whose charged particles would otherwise strip away the ozone layer that protects the Earth from harmful ultraviolet radiation . One stripping mechanism is for gas to be caught in bubbles of magnetic field , which are ripped off by solar winds . Calculations of the loss of carbon dioxide from the atmosphere of Mars , resulting from scavenging of ions by the solar wind , indicate that the dissipation of the magnetic field of Mars caused a near total loss of its atmosphere .

+ Uncle Tom 's Cabin first appeared as a 40 - week serial in The National Era , an abolitionist periodical , starting with the June 5 , 1851 , issue . It was originally intended as a shorter narrative that would run for only a few weeks . Stowe expanded the story significantly , however , and it was instantly popular , such that several protests were sent to the Era office when she missed an issue . Because of the story 's popularity , the publisher John P. Jewett contacted Stowe about turning the serial into a book . While Stowe questioned if anyone would read Uncle Tom 's Cabin in book form , she eventually consented to the request .
+ The film was directed by Robert Mulligan , and starred Gary Grimes as Hermie , Jerry Houser as his best friend Oscy , Oliver Conant as their nerdy young friend Benjie , Jennifer O'Neill as Hermie 's mysterious love interest , and Katherine Allentuck and Christopher Norris as a pair of girls whom Hermie and Oscy attempt to seduce .

+ Located within the thylakoid membrane and the inner mitochondrial membrane , ATP synthase consists of two regions F and F. F causes rotation of F and is made of c - ring and subunits a , b , d , F6. F is made of α , β , γ , δ ( \ displaystyle \ alpha , \ beta , \ gamma , \ delta ) subunits . F has a water soluble par that can hydrolyze ATP . F on the other hand has mainly hydrophobic regions . F F creates a pathway for protons movement across the membrane .

+ The formation of ATP from ADP and P is energetically unfavorable and would normally proceed in the reverse direction . In order to drive this reaction forward , ATPase couples ATP synthesis during cellular respiration to an electrochemical gradient created by the difference in proton ( H ) concentration across the mitochondrial membrane in eukaryotes or the plasma membrane in bacteria . During photosynthesis in plants , ATP is synthesized by ATPase using a proton gradient created in the thylakoid lumen through the thylakoid membrane and into the chloroplast stroma .
+ On 19 February 2007 Disney lost a court case in Los Angeles which ruled their `` misguided claims '' to dispute the licensing agreements with Slesinger , Inc. were unjustified , but a federal ruling of 28 September 2009 , again from Judge Florence - Marie Cooper , determined that the Slesinger family had granted all trademark and copyright rights to Disney , although Disney must pay royalties for all future use of the characters .

+ Somatic motor neurons originate in the central nervous system , project their axons to skeletal muscles ( such as the muscles of the limbs , abdominal , and intercostal muscles ) , which are involved in locomotion . The three types of these neurons are the alpha efferent neurons , beta efferent neurons , and gamma efferent neurons . They are called efferent to indicate the flow of information from the central nervous system ( CNS ) to the periphery .
+ In healthy adults , there are two normal heart sounds , often described as a lub and a dub ( or dup ) , that occur in sequence with each heartbeat .

+ Transcription occurs in the cell nucleus , where the DNA is held . The DNA structure of the cell is made up of two helixes made up of sugar and phosphate held together by hydrogen bonds between the bases of opposite strands . The sugar and the phosphate in each strand are joined together by stronger phosphodiester covalent bonds . The DNA is `` unzipped '' ( disruption of hydrogen bonds between different single strands ) by the enzyme helicase , leaving the single nucleotide chain open to be copied . RNA polymerase reads the DNA strand from the 3 - prime ( 3 ' ) end to the 5 - prime ( 5 ' ) end , while it synthesizes a single strand of messenger RNA in the 5 ' - to - 3 ' direction . The general RNA structure is very similar to the DNA structure , but in RNA the nucleotide uracil takes the place that thymine occupies in DNA . The single strand of mRNA leaves the nucleus through nuclear pores , and migrates into the cytoplasm .

+ The Second Great Awakening occurred in several episodes and over different denominations ; however , the revivals were very similar . As the most effective form of evangelizing during this period , revival meetings cut across geographical boundaries , and the movement quickly spread throughout Kentucky , Tennessee and southern Ohio . Each denomination had assets that allowed it to thrive on the frontier . The Methodists had an efficient organization that depended on itinerant ministers , known as circuit riders , who sought out people in remote frontier locations . The circuit riders came from among the common people , which helped them establish rapport with the frontier families they hoped to convert .

+ A muscle relaxant is a drug that affects skeletal muscle function and decreases the muscle tone . It may be used to alleviate symptoms such as muscle spasms , pain , and hyperreflexia . The term `` muscle relaxant '' is used to refer to two major therapeutic groups : neuromuscular blockers and spasmolytics . Neuromuscular blockers act by interfering with transmission at the neuromuscular end plate and have no central nervous system ( CNS ) activity . They are often used during surgical procedures and in intensive care and emergency medicine to cause temporary paralysis . Spasmolytics , also known as `` centrally acting '' muscle relaxants , are used to alleviate musculoskeletal pain and spasms and to reduce spasticity in a variety of neurological conditions . While both neuromuscular blockers and spasmolytics are often grouped together as muscle relaxants , the term is commonly used to refer to spasmolytics only .

+ A vanishing point is a point on the image plane of a perspective drawing where the two - dimensional perspective projections ( or drawings ) of mutually parallel lines in three - dimensional space appear to converge . When the set of parallel lines is perpendicular to a picture plane , the construction is known as one - point perspective , and their vanishing point corresponds to the oculus , or `` eye point '' , from which the image should be viewed for correct perspective geometry . Traditional linear drawings use objects with one to three sets of parallels , defining one to three vanishing points .

+ From September 1947 , Toyota 's small - sized vehicles were sold under the name `` Toyopet '' ( トヨペット ) . The first vehicle sold under this name was the Toyopet SA , but it also included vehicles such as the Toyopet SB light truck , Toyopet Stout light truck , Toyopet Crown , Toyopet Master , and the Toyopet Corona . The word `` Toyopet ( Japanese article ) '' was a nickname given to the Toyota SA due to its small size , as the result of a naming contest the Toyota Company organized in 1947 . However , when Toyota eventually entered the American market in 1957 with the Crown , the name was not well received due to connotations of toys and pets . The name was soon dropped for the American market , but continued in other markets until the mid-1960s .

+ In 1972 , the first commercially available video game console , the Magnavox Odyssey , had a light gun accessory , the Shooting Gallery . This was the first involvement of Nintendo in video games . According to Martin Picard in the International Journal of Computer Game Research : `` in 1971 , Nintendo had -- even before the marketing of the first home console in the United States -- an alliance with the American pioneer Magnavox to develop and produce optoelectronic guns for the Odyssey ( released in 1972 ) , since it was similar to what Nintendo was able to offer in the Japanese toy market in 1970s '' .
+ Their first video arcade game was 1975 's EVR Race ; a handful of others followed in the next several years , Radar Scope and Donkey Kong being among the most famous of these . The early 1980s saw Nintendo 's video game division ( led by Yokoi ) creating some of its most famous arcade titles . The massively popular Donkey Kong was created in 1981 , with Shigeru Miyamoto as its mastermind , and released in the arcades and on the Atari 2600 , Intellivision , and ColecoVision video game systems ( although Nintendo themselves generally had no involvement with these early console ports ) . This release method would be used on several later Nintendo arcade games of this same period , including the original Mario Bros. ( not to be confused with the later Super Mario Bros . ) In addition to this arcade and dedicated console game activity , Nintendo was testing the consumer handheld video game waters with the Game & Watch .
+ At the federal level in the United States , legislation ( i.e. , `` statutes '' or `` statutory law '' ) consists exclusively of Acts passed by the Congress of the United States and its predecessor , the Continental Congress , that were either signed into law by the President or passed by Congress after a presidential veto .
+ This was the city of Chicago 's first professional sports championship since the Chicago Fire won MLS Cup ' 98 ( which came four months after the Chicago Bulls ' sixth NBA championship that year ) . The next major Chicago sports championship came in 2010 , when the NHL 's Chicago Blackhawks ended a 49 - year Stanley Cup title drought . With the Chicago Bears ' win in Super Bowl XX and the Chicago Cubs ' own World Series championship in 2016 , all Chicago sports teams have won at least one major championship since 1985 . Meanwhile , the Astros themselves made it back to the World Series in 2017 , but this time as an AL team , where they defeated the Los Angeles Dodgers in seven games , resulting in Houston 's first professional sports championship since the 2006 -- 07 Houston Dynamo won their back - to - back MLS Championships .
+ Neither team advanced to the post-season in 2006 , but the 2006 World Series again featured teams from the American League Central and National League Central divisions , this time represented by the Detroit Tigers and the St. Louis Cardinals , respectively . The Cardinals won the World Series in five games , in which manager Tony La Russa became the second manager to win the World Series in both American and National leagues , previously managing the Oakland Athletics to the 1989 World Series championship . Both the White Sox and the Astros were in the Wild Card race until the final weeks of the season , with the White Sox finishing with 90 wins , the Astros with 82 wins . The White Sox made their first post-2005 playoff appearance in 2008 , while the Astros would not return to the postseason until 2015 , their third season as an American League team and would not return to the World Series until 2017 , their fifth season as an American League team .

The administrative headquarters are in Skukuza . Areas of the park were first protected by the government of the South African Republic in 1898 , and it became South Africa 's first national park in 1926 .
+ In 1933 , the Roosevelt administration made the first attempt at establishing a national minimum wage , when a $0.25 per hour standard was set as part of the National Industrial Recovery Act . However , in the 1935 court case Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States ( 295 U.S. 495 ) , the US Supreme Court declared the act unconstitutional , and the minimum wage was abolished . In 1938 , the minimum wage was re-established pursuant to the Fair Labor Standards Act , once again at $0.25 per hour ( $4.78 in 2017 dollars ) . In 1941 , the Supreme Court upheld the Fair Labor Standards Act in United States v. Darby Lumber Co. , holding that Congress had the power under the Commerce Clause to regulate employment conditions .

+ In 1910 , in conjunction with advocacy work led by Florence Kelley of the National Consumer League , the Women 's Trade Union League ( WTLU ) of Massachusetts under the leadership of Elizabeth Evans took up the cause of minimum wage legislation in Massachusetts . Over the next two years , a coalition of social reform groups and labor advocates in Boston pushed for minimum wage legislation in the state . In 1912 , Massachusetts passed the first American minimum wage legislation , which established a state commission for recommending non-compulsory minimum wages for women and children . Within eight years , at least thirteen U.S. states and the District of Columbia would pass minimum wage laws , with pressure being placed on state legislatures by the National Consumers League in a coalition with other women 's voluntary associations and organized labor . The United States Supreme Court of the Lochner era consistently invalidated compulsory minimum wage laws . Advocates for these minimum wage laws hoped that they would be upheld under the precedent of Muller v. Oregon , which upheld maximum working hours laws for women on the grounds that women required special protection that men did not . However , the Court did not extend this principle to minimum wage laws , considering the latter as interfering with the ability of employers to freely negotiate wage contracts with employees .

+ When following the western side of the African coastline from the equator , however , the Cape of Good Hope marks the point where a ship begins to travel more eastward than southward . Thus , the first modern rounding of the cape in 1488 by Portuguese explorer Bartolomeu Dias was a milestone in the attempts by the Portuguese to establish direct trade relations with the Far East ( although Herodotus mentioned a claim that the Phoenicians had done so far earlier ) . Dias called the cape Cabo das Tormentas ( `` Cape of Storms '' ; Dutch : Stormkaap ) , which was the original name of the `` Cape of Good Hope '' .
+ - The right-most label conveys the top - level domain ; for example , the domain name www.example.com belongs to the top - level domain com .
- The hierarchy of domains descends from the right to the left label in the name ; each label to the left specifies a subdivision , or subdomain of the domain to the right . For example : the label example specifies a node example.com as a subdomain of the com domain , and www is a label to create www.example.com , a subdomain of example.com . Each label may contain from 1 to 63 octets . The empty label is reserved for the root node and when fully qualified is expressed as the empty label terminated by a dot . The full domain name may not exceed a total length of 253 ASCII characters in its textual representation . Thus , when using a single character per label , the limit is 127 levels : 127 characters plus 126 dots have a total length of 253 . In practice , some domain registries may have shorter limits .
- A hostname is a domain name that has at least one associated IP address . For example , the domain names www.example.com and example.com are also hostnames , whereas the com domain is not . However , other top - level domains , particularly country code top - level domains , may indeed have an IP address , and if so , they are also hostnames .
- Hostnames impose restrictions on the characters allowed in the corresponding domain name . A valid hostname is also a valid domain name , but a valid domain name may not necessarily be valid as a hostname .

+ Within the oral mucosa ( a mucous membrane ) lining the mouth and also on the tongue and palates and mouth floor , are the minor salivary glands ; their secretions are mainly mucous and are innervated by the facial nerve ( the seventh cranial nerve ) . The glands also secrete amylase a first stage in the breakdown of food acting on the carbohydrate in the food to transform the starch content into maltose . There are other glands on the surface of the tongue that encircle taste buds on the back part of the tongue and these also produce lingual lipase . Lipase is a digestive enzyme that catalyses the hydrolysis of lipids ( fats ) . These glands are termed Von Ebner 's glands which have also been shown to have another function in the secretion of histatins which offer an early defense ( outside of the immune system ) against microbes in food , when it makes contact with these glands on the tongue tissue . Sensory information can stimulate the secretion of saliva providing the necessary fluid for the tongue to work with and also to ease swallowing of the food .

+ The Rhine -- Herne Canal ( German : Rhein - Herne - Kanal ) is a 45.6 - kilometre - long ( 28.3 mi ) transportation canal in the Ruhr area of North Rhine - Westphalia , Germany , with five canal locks . The canal was built over a period of eight years ( 5 April 1906 - 14 July 1914 ) and connects the harbour in Duisburg on the Rhine ( 51 ° 26 ′ 59 '' N 6 ° 46 ′ 1 '' E / 51.44972 ° N 6.76694 ° E / 51.44972 ; 6.76694 ) with the Dortmund - Ems Canal near Henrichenburg ( 51 ° 37 ′ 1 '' N 7 ° 19 ′ 19 '' E / 51.61694 ° N 7.32194 ° E / 51.61694 ; 7.32194 ) , following the valley of the Emscher .

+- The French Marquise de Créquy wrote in her Souvenirs that the words `` Grand Dieu , sauvez le Roi ! '' were indeed composed by Jean - Baptiste Lully in gratitude for the survival by Louis XIV of an anal fistula operation . ( The surgical knife purpose - made for the occasion is on display in the Musée d'histoire de la médecine . ) Allegedly , Lully had set words by Marie de Brinon to music , and Créquy claimed that the tune was later plagiarised by Handel , and so adopted by the British as `` un de leurs air nationaux '' . ( The entire story might have been intended as a joke . ) Translated into Latin under the title Domine , Salvum Fac Regem , it became the French anthem until 1792 . After the Battle of Culloden , the Hanover dynasty supposedly adopted this melody as the British anthem .
+ The 1836 article and other sources make it clear that this verse was not used soon after 1745 , and certainly before the song became accepted as the British national anthem in the 1780s and 1790s . It was included as an integral part of the song in the Oxford Book of Eighteenth Century Verse of 1926 , although erroneously referencing the `` fourth verse '' to the Gentleman 's Magazine article of 1745 .
+ In 1908 , the first five - day workweek in the United States was instituted by a New England cotton mill so that Jewish workers would not have to work on the Sabbath from sundown Friday to sundown Saturday . In 1926 , Henry Ford began shutting down his automotive factories for all of Saturday and Sunday . In 1929 , the Amalgamated Clothing Workers of America Union was the first union to demand a five - day workweek and receive it . After that , the rest of the United States slowly followed , but it was not until 1940 , when a provision of the 1938 Fair Labor Standards Act mandating a maximum 40 - hour workweek went into effect , that the two - day weekend was adopted nationwide .
+ His desire for a heart notably contrasts with the Scarecrow 's desire for brains , reflecting a common debate between the relative importance of the mind and the emotions . This occasions philosophical debate between the two friends as to why their own choices are superior ; neither convinces the other , and Dorothy , listening , is unable to decide which one is right . Symbolically , because they remain with Dorothy throughout her quest , she is provided with both and need not select . The Tin Woodman states unequivocally that he has neither heart nor brain , but cares nothing for the loss of his brain . Towards the end of the novel , though , Glinda praises his brain as not quite that of the Scarecrow 's .

+ There are several major additional characters introduced by the television series and numerous narrative details and the plotline differ radically from the source novel . For example , the planned Nazi pre-emptive nuclear strike on Japan , `` Operation Dandelion , '' is apparently being prevented only by Hitler 's personal refusal to authorise it , leading Heydrich and the faction demanding pre-emptive war to plot the Führer 's assassination . In addition , Hawthorne Abendsen does not appear in the first season of the television version and The Grasshopper Lies Heavy is a series of newsreel films depicting multiple alternative realities rather than a novel ( although this idea may actually be borrowed from Dick 's later novel Valis which features a mysterious film depicting yet another dystopian alternative history of the USA ) . As of the Season 1 finale , these films are being tracked down by SS agents like Blake for dispatch to Hitler for an as - yet - unknown purpose .
+ An elevator with a counterbalance approximates an ideal Atwood machine and thereby relieves the driving motor from the load of holding the elevator cab -- it has to overcome only weight difference and inertia of the two masses . The same principle is used for funicular railways with two connected railway cars on inclined tracks , and for the elevators on the Eiffel Tower which counterbalance each other . Ski lifts are another example , where the gondolas move on a closed ( continuous ) pulley system up and down the mountain . The ski lift is similar to the counter-weighted elevator , but with a constraining force provided by the cable in the vertical dimension thereby achieving work in both the horizontal and vertical dimensions . Boat lifts are another type of counter-weighted elevator system approximating an Atwood machine .

+ In Moulmein , the narrator -- Orwell , writing in the first person -- is a police officer during a period of intense anti-European sentiment . Although his intellectual sympathies lie with the Burmese , his official role makes him a symbol of the oppressive imperial power . As such , he is subjected to constant baiting and jeering by the local people .
+ The essay describes the experience of the English narrator , possibly Orwell himself , called upon to shoot an aggressive elephant while working as a police officer in Burma . Because the locals expect him to do the job , he does so against his better judgment , his anguish increased by the elephant 's slow and painful death . The story is regarded as a metaphor for British imperialism , and for Orwell 's view that `` when the white man turns tyrant it is his own freedom that he destroys . ''

+ India ranks second worldwide in farm output . Agriculture and allied sectors like forestry , logging and fishing accounted for 17 % of the GDP and employed 49 % of its total workforce in 2014 . Agriculture accounted for 23 % of GDP , and employed 59 % of the country 's total workforce in 2016 . As the Indian economy has diversified and grown , agriculture 's contribution to GDP has steadily declined from 1951 to 2011 , yet it is still the country 's largest employment source and a significant piece of its overall socio - economic development . Crop - yield - per - unit - area of all crops has grown since 1950 , due to the special emphasis placed on agriculture in the five - year plans and steady improvements in irrigation , technology , application of modern agricultural practices and provision of agricultural credit and subsidies since the Green Revolution in India .

+ The United States two - dollar bill ( $2 ) is a current denomination of U.S. currency . The third U.S. President ( 1801 -- 09 ) , Thomas Jefferson , is featured on the obverse of the note . The reverse features an engraving of the painting The Declaration of Independence by John Trumbull . Throughout the $2 bill 's pre-1929 life as a large - sized note , it was issued as a United States Note , National Bank Note , silver certificate , Treasury or `` Coin '' Note and Federal Reserve Bank Note . When U.S. currency was changed to its current size , the $2 bill was issued only as a United States Note . Production went on until 1966 , when the series was discontinued . Ten years passed before the $2 bill was reissued as a Federal Reserve Note with a new reverse design . Two - dollar bills are seldom seen in circulation as a result of banking policies with businesses which has resulted in low production numbers due to lack of demand . This comparative scarcity in circulation , coupled with a lack of public knowledge that the bill is still in production and circulation , has also inspired urban legends and occasionally has created problems for people trying to use the bill to make purchases .

+ From 1976 to 1983 , several states voluntarily raised their purchase ages to 19 ( or , less commonly , 20 or 21 ) , in part to combat drunk driving fatalities . In 1984 , Congress passed the National Minimum Drinking Age Act , which required states to raise their ages for purchase and public possession to 21 by October 1986 or lose 10 % of their federal highway funds . By mid-1988 , all 50 states and the District of Columbia had raised their purchase ages to 21 ( but not Puerto Rico , Guam , or the Virgin Islands , see Additional Notes below ) . South Dakota and Wyoming were the final two states to comply with the age 21 mandate . The current drinking age of 21 remains a point of contention among many Americans , because of it being higher than the age of majority ( 18 in most states ) and higher than the drinking ages of most other countries . The National Minimum Drinking Age Act is also seen as a congressional sidestep of the tenth amendment . Although debates have not been highly publicized , a few states have proposed legislation to lower their drinking age , while Guam has raised its drinking age to 21 in July 2010 .

+ It was suggested that the interior of the 45 metre ( 147 ft ) wide dome should be covered with a mosaic decoration to make the most of the available light coming through the circular windows of the drum and through the lantern . Brunelleschi had proposed the vault to glimmer with resplendent gold , but his death in 1446 put an end to this project , and the walls of the dome were whitewashed . Grand Duke Cosimo I de ' Medici decided to have the dome painted with a representation of The Last Judgment . This enormous work , 3,600 metres2 ( 38 750 ft2 ) of painted surface , was started in 1568 by Giorgio Vasari and Federico Zuccari and would last till 1579 . The upper portion , near the lantern , representing The 24 Elders of Apoc. 4 was finished by Vasari before his death in 1574 . Federico Zuccari and a number of collaborators , such as Domenico Cresti , finished the other portions : ( from top to bottom ) Choirs of Angels ; Christ , Mary and Saints ; Virtues , Gifts of the Holy Spirit and Beatitudes ; and at the bottom of the cupola : Capital Sins and Hell . These frescoes are considered Zuccari 's greatest work . But the quality of the work is uneven because of the input of different artists and the different techniques . Vasari had used true fresco , while Zuccari had painted in secco . During the restoration work , which ended in 1995 , the entire pictorial cycle of The Last Judgment was photographed with specially designed equipment and all the information collected in a catalogue . All the restoration information along with reconstructed images of the frescos were stored and managed in the Thesaurus Florentinus computer system .

+ The coastline of the island consists of a combination of long beaches , dunes , red sandstone cliffs , salt water marshes and numerous bays and harbours . The beaches , dunes and sandstone cliffs consist of sedimentary rock and other material with a high iron concentration which oxidizes upon exposure to the air . The geological properties of a white silica sand found at Basin Head are unique in the province ; the sand grains cause a scrubbing noise as they rub against each other when walked on .

He quickly establishes himself as a more unconventional , ruthless litigator than his predecessor , Ben Stone ( Michael Moriarty ) . He often bends -- and sometimes breaks -- trial rules to get convictions , finds tenuous rationales for charging defendants with crimes when the original charges fail to stick , and charges innocent people to frighten them into testifying against others . McCoy is found in contempt of court 80 times for such behavior , and his tactics occasionally incur negative publicity for the DA 's office . His underlying motivation , however , is not , he maintains , corruption , but a sincere desire to see justice done . To that end , McCoy has gone after defendants accused of perverting the justice system to arrange wrongful convictions with just as much determination as his more mundane cases . Such aggressive actions in the courts have earned him the nickname `` Hang ' em High McCoy '' . He has subsequently developed a reputation with both colleagues and rival attorneys , once being referred to as `` the top of the legal food chain '' by a rival attorney during a trial .
+ The military convention between Bulgaria and the Central Powers laid down the general plan for its campaign against the Kingdom of Serbia . It severely limited the control of the Bulgarian High Command over the Bulgarian 1st Army , which was designated part of a combined German , Bulgarian and Austro - Hungarian force commanded by Field Marshal August von Mackensen . He had recently led the German and Austro - Hungarian armies in the highly successful and victorious Gorlice -- Tarnów Offensive of the Central Powers against the Russian army on the Eastern Front . His army group was created specifically to wage war against the Serbian army in the pre-1913 borders of the country ( `` Old Serbia '' ) , to defeat it wherever it found it and to open the land route between Hungary and Bulgaria . As commander , Mackensen acted independently and received his directives only from the German High Command . However , the field marshal 's orders to his Bulgarian forces had to be relayed to the commander of the 1st Army by the Bulgarian General Staff , which left room for the latter to intervene when needed . According to the convention , the Bulgarian commander - in - chief retained full and direct control over the Bulgarian 2nd Army and its operations in Vardar Macedonia .

+ The centerpiece of contemporary Thanksgiving in the United States and Canada is a large meal , generally centered on a large roasted turkey . It is served with a variety of side dishes which vary from traditional dishes such as mashed potatoes , stuffing , and cranberry sauce , to ones that reflect regional or cultural heritage . The majority of the dishes in the traditional American version of Thanksgiving dinner are made from foods native to the New World , as according to tradition the Pilgrims received these foods , or learned how to grow them , from the Native Americans . Thanksgiving dinner is the largest eating event in the United States ; people eat more on Thanksgiving than on any other day of the year .
+ Although photosynthesis is performed differently by different species , the process always begins when energy from light is absorbed by proteins called reaction centres that contain green chlorophyll pigments . In plants , these proteins are held inside organelles called chloroplasts , which are most abundant in leaf cells , while in bacteria they are embedded in the plasma membrane . In these light - dependent reactions , some energy is used to strip electrons from suitable substances , such as water , producing oxygen gas . The hydrogen freed by the splitting of water is used in the creation of two further compounds that act as an immediate energy storage means : reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide phosphate ( NADPH ) and adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) , the `` energy currency '' of cells .

+ In the light - dependent reactions ( mainly three vital reaction steps : ( I ) Hill and Bendall 's Z - scheme of cyclic and non-cyclic reactions , ( II ) Mitchell 's chemi - osmosis for ATP synthesis and ( III ) Dolai 's S - state diagrams in water - splitting ) , one molecule of the pigment chlorophyll absorbs one photon and loses one electron . This electron is passed to a modified form of chlorophyll called pheophytin , which passes the electron to a quinone molecule , starting the flow of electrons down an electron transport chain that leads to the ultimate reduction of NADP to NADPH . In addition , this creates a proton gradient ( energy gradient ) across the chloroplast membrane , which is used by ATP synthase in the synthesis of ATP . The chlorophyll molecule ultimately regains the electron it lost when a water molecule is split in a process called photolysis , which releases a dioxygen ( O ) molecule as a waste product .

+ Any point that lies either on the production possibilities curve or to the left of it is said to be an attainable point : it can be produced with currently available resources . Points that lie to the right of the production possibilities curve are said to be unattainable because they can not be produced using currently available resources . Points that lie strictly to the left of the curve are said to be inefficient , because existing resources would allow for production of more of at least one good without sacrificing the production of any other good . An efficient point is one that lies on the production possibilities curve . At any such point , more of one good can be produced only by producing less of the other .

+ The election of President and Vice President of the United States is an indirect election in which citizens of the United States who are registered to vote in one of the 50 U.S. states or in Washington , D.C. cast ballots not directly for those offices , but instead for members of the U.S. Electoral College , known as electors . These electors then in turn cast direct votes , known as electoral votes , for President , and for Vice President . The candidate who receives an absolute majority of electoral votes ( at least 270 out of a total of 538 , since the Twenty - Third Amendment granting voting rights to citizens of Washington , D.C. ) is then elected to that office . If no candidate receives an absolute majority of the votes for President , the House of Representatives chooses the winner ; if no one receives an absolute majority of the votes for Vice President , then the Senate chooses the winner .

+ In 1987 the United Nation 's World Commission on Environment and Development ( the Brundtland Commission ) , in its report Our Common Future suggested that development was acceptable , but it must be sustainable development that would meet the needs of the poor while not increasing environmental problems . Humanity 's demand on the planet has more than doubled over the past 45 years as a result of population growth and increasing individual consumption . In 1961 almost all countries in the world had more than enough capacity to meet their own demand ; by 2005 the situation had changed radically with many countries able to meet their needs only by importing resources from other nations . A move toward sustainable living by increasing public awareness and adoption of recycling , and renewable energies emerged . The development of renewable sources of energy in the 1970s and ' 80s , primarily in wind turbines and photovoltaics and increased use of hydroelectricity , presented some of the first sustainable alternatives to fossil fuel and nuclear energy generation , the first large - scale solar and wind power plants appearing during the 1980s and ' 90s . Also at this time many local and state governments in developed countries began to implement small - scale sustainability policies .
+- National Industrial Recovery Act ( NIRA ) , 1933 : industries set up codes to reduce unfair competition , raise wages and prices ; ended 1935 . The Supreme Court ruled the NIRA unconstitutional .
+ Roosevelt 's advisers believed that excessive competition and technical progress had led to overproduction and lowered wages and prices , which they believed lowered demand and employment ( deflation ) . He argued that government economic planning was necessary to remedy this . New Deal economists argued that cut - throat competition had hurt many businesses and that with prices having fallen 20 % and more , `` deflation '' exacerbated the burden of debt and would delay recovery . They rejected a strong move in Congress to limit the workweek to 30 hours . Instead their remedy , designed in cooperation with big business , was the NIRA . It included stimulus funds for the WPA to spend and sought to raise prices , give more bargaining power for unions ( so the workers could purchase more ) and reduce harmful competition .

+ The safety and litter problems were both eventually solved later in the 1970s with Daniel F. Cudzik 's invention of the non-removing `` Stay - Tab '' . The pull - ring was replaced with a stiff aluminium lever , and the removable tab was replaced with a pre-scored round tab that functioned similarly to the push - tab , but the raised blister was no longer needed , as the riveted lever would now do the job of pushing the tab open and into the interior of the can .
+ Such `` retained ring - pull '' cans supplanted pull - off tabs in the United Kingdom in 1989 for soft drinks and 1990 for alcoholic beverages .

+ The highly acidic environment in the stomach lumen causes proteins from food to lose their characteristic folded structure ( or denature ) . This exposes the protein 's peptide bonds . The gastric chief cells of the stomach secrete enzymes for protein breakdown ( inactive pepsinogen , and in infancy rennin ) . Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin , which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids , a process known as proteolysis . In addition , many microorganisms have their growth inhibited by such an acidic environment , which is helpful to prevent infection .
+ Tomato purée is a thick liquid made by cooking and straining tomatoes . The difference between tomato paste , tomato purée , and tomato sauce is consistency ; tomato puree has a thicker consistency and a deeper flavour than sauce .
+ `` How You Remind Me '' is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback . It was released on August 21 , 2001 as the lead single from their third studio album Silver Side Up ( 2001 ) . A `` Gold Mix '' was made for latter editions of the single with the heavier guitars edited out of the chorus . Lead vocalist and guitarist Chad Kroeger wrote the song about his old girlfriend Jodi , with whom he had a dysfunctional relationship . He referred to this song as the song that put Nickelback on the map when played at their concert in Sturgis , South Dakota , and is often considered to be their signature song .
+ The definitions of tomato purée vary from country to country . In the U.S. , tomato purée is a processed food product , usually consisting of only tomatoes , but can also be found in the seasoned form . It differs from tomato sauce or tomato paste in consistency and content ; tomato purée generally lacks the additives common to a complete tomato sauce and does not have the thickness of paste .
+ Gastric acid , gastric juice or stomach acid , is a digestive fluid formed in the stomach and is composed of hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) , potassium chloride ( KCl ) and sodium chloride ( NaCl ) . The acid plays a key role in digestion of proteins , by activating digestive enzymes , and making ingested proteins unravel so that digestive enzymes break down the long chains of amino acids . Gastric acid is produced by cells in the lining of the stomach , which are coupled in feedback systems to increase acid production when needed . Other cells in the stomach produce bicarbonate , a base , to buffer the fluid , ensuring that it does not become too acidic . These cells also produce mucus , which forms a viscous physical barrier to prevent gastric acid from damaging the stomach . The pancreas further produces large amounts of bicarbonate and secretes bicarbonate through the pancreatic duct to the duodenum to completely neutralize any gastric acid that passes further down into the digestive tract .
+ Auburn 's Bo Jackson claims to have run a 40 - yard dash with a time of 4.13 s . A time of 4.18 run by Jackson within the same week added some support to the legitimacy of the times . Texas Tech 's Jakeem Grant was hand - timed by a New Orleans Saints scout as running a 4.10 in 2016 , potentially beating Jackson 's record . Deion Sanders ran a 4.27 - second 40 - yard dash in 1989 .

The railways carried freight and passengers with also the world 's first goods terminal station at the Park Lane railway goods station at Liverpool 's south docks , accessed by the 1.26 mile Wapping Tunnel . In 1836 , at the Liverpool end the line was extended to Lime Street Station in Liverpool 's city centre via a 1.1 mile long tunnel .
+ Precipitation is the creation of a solid from a solution . When the reaction occurs in a liquid solution , the solid formed is called the ' precipitate ' . The chemical that causes the solid to form is called the ' precipitant ' . Without sufficient force of gravity ( settling ) to bring the solid particles together , the precipitate remains in suspension . After sedimentation , especially when using a centrifuge to press it into a compact mass , the precipitate may be referred to as a ' pellet ' . Precipitation can be used as a medium . The precipitate - free liquid remaining above the solid is called the ' supernate ' or ' supernatant ' . Powders derived from precipitation have also historically been known as ' flowers ' . When the solid appears in the form of cellulose fibers which have been through chemical processing , the process is often referred to as regeneration .

The Court may decide cases having political overtones but does not have power to decide nonjusticiable political questions , and its enforcement arm is in the executive rather than judicial branch of government .

+ Paul 's letter is addressed `` to the churches of Galatia '' ( Galatians 1 : 2 ) , but the location of these churches is a matter of debate . A minority of scholars have argued that the `` Galatia '' is an ethnic reference to a Celtic people living in northern Asia Minor , but most agree that it is a geographical reference to the Roman province in central Asia Minor , which had been settled by immigrant Celts in the 270s BC and retained Gaulish features of culture and language in Paul 's day .

+ The railway system of Great Britain , the principal territory of the United Kingdom , is the oldest in the world . It was started with the building of local isolated wooden wagonways starting in 1560s . The system was later built as a patchwork of local rail links operated by small private railway companies in late 18th century . These isolated links developed during the railway boom of the 1840s into a national network , although still run by dozens of competing companies . Over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries , these amalgamated or were bought by competitors until only a handful of larger companies remained ( see railway mania ) . The entire network was brought under government control during the First World War and a number of advantages of amalgamation and planning were revealed . However , the government resisted calls for the nationalisation of the network . In 1923 , almost all the remaining companies were grouped into the `` big four '' , the Great Western Railway , the London and North Eastern Railway , the London , Midland and Scottish Railway and the Southern Railway . The `` Big Four '' were joint - stock public companies and they continued to run the railway system until 31 December 1947 .

+ But with the approach of Aslan , her magical winter thaws , and Edmund is rescued after his treason . He had been greeted with a hostile reception from the White Witch after arriving at her castle alone , and even more so after informing her that Aslan had come to Narnia . The harshness of the Witch 's winter had made Edmund realise that he had been wrong in thinking that her side was the right side to be on , and he realised the full extent of her evil when he witnessed her turning a party of creatures into stone after their revelation that Father Christmas had been in Narnia - much to the Witch 's horror after she had banished him .

+ Luke -- Acts is an attempt to answer a theological problem , namely how the Messiah of the Jews came to have an overwhelmingly non-Jewish church ; the answer it provides , and its central theme , is that the message of Christ was sent to the Gentiles because the Jews rejected it . Luke -- Acts can be also seen as a defense of ( or `` apology '' for ) the Jesus movement addressed to the Jews : the bulk of the speeches and sermons in Acts are addressed to Jewish audiences , with the Romans serving as external arbiters on disputes concerning Jewish customs and law . On the one hand Luke portrays the Christians as a sect of the Jews , and therefore entitled to legal protection as a recognised religion ; on the other , Luke seems unclear as to the future God intends for Jews and Christians , celebrating the Jewishness of Jesus and his immediate followers while also stressing how the Jews had rejected God 's promised Messiah .
+ Pi Day is an annual celebration of the mathematical constant π ( pi ) . Pi Day is observed on March 14 ( 3 / 14 in the month / day format ) since 3 , 1 , and 4 are the first three significant digits of π . In 2009 , the United States House of Representatives supported the designation of Pi Day .

+- Professor Eobard Thawne is introduced on The Flash as a scientist from the future who duplicated the reaction that gave Barry Allen / The Flash his powers and became the hero 's archenemy , the Reverse - Flash . Eobard traveled back in time to the year 2000 to kill his nemesis as a child . When the 2024 Flash intervened , the Reverse - Flash murdered Barry 's mother and framed his father instead , thus erasing this Flash from existence while unintentionally severing his own connection to the Speed Force , leaving him stranded in the 21st Century . Knowing that Dr. Harrison Wells would be responsible for creating metahumans in 2020 , Eobard killed the scientist and assumed his identity . He then founded S.T.A.R. Labs and created a particle accelerator to turn Barry into the Flash and regain his own link to the Speed Force . Faking paralysis , `` Dr. Wells '' pushes Barry to run faster in hopes of using the latter 's pure Speed Force connection to travel back to his time . After Eobard 's secret is discovered , he is defeated by the Flash , the Arrow and Firestorm . Eobard then offers Barry a chance to travel back in time to save his mother in exchange for a time sphere to return to the future , but Barry ultimately chooses not to do so and returns to destroy Eobard 's machine . As the Reverse - Flash prepares to kill the Flash , his ancestor Detective Eddie Thawne kills himself and seemingly erases Eobard from existence . A year later , Barry temporarily creates a new reality and restores a time remnant of Eobard to the timeline in the process .

Given that the Holy See is a theocracy it does not meet the criteria . However , as it is so small , and surrounded by an EU state ( Italy ) , it is intrinsically linked to the EU . Vatican City has an open border with the EU and intends to join the Schengen Information System . It also uses the euro as its sole currency and has an agreement with the EU allowing them to mint their own coins . The EU gave Italy authority to negotiate a deal with the Holy See in 2000 which allowed the Holy See to mint a maximum of € 670,000 . After a review of the arrangements , a new agreement came into force in 2010 which allowed the Holy See to mint € 1 million a year ( plus up to an additional € 300,000 on special occasions ) .

+ Grey matter ( or gray matter ) is a major component of the central nervous system , consisting of neuronal cell bodies , neuropil ( dendrites and myelinated as well as unmyelinated axons ) , glial cells ( astrocytes and oligodendrocytes ) , synapses , and capillaries . Grey matter is distinguished from white matter , in that it contains numerous cell bodies and relatively few myelinated axons , while white matter contains relatively few cell bodies and is composed chiefly of long - range myelinated axon tracts . The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin . In living tissue , grey matter actually has a very light grey colour with yellowish or pinkish hues , which come from capillary blood vessels and neuronal cell bodies .

+ The earliest motion picture stocks were orthochromatic , and recorded blue and green light , but not red . Recording all three spectral regions required making film stock panchromatic to some degree . Since orthochromatic film stock hindered color photography in its beginnings , the first films with color in them used aniline dyes to create artificial color . Hand - colored films appeared in 1895 with Thomas Edison 's hand - painted Annabelle 's Dance for his Kinetoscope viewers .

+ In 1935 , Kodachrome was introduced , followed by Agfacolor in 1936 . They were intended primarily for amateur home movies and `` slides '' . These were the first films of the `` integral tripack '' type , coated with three layers of differently color - sensitive emulsion , which is usually what is meant by the words `` color film '' as commonly used . The few color films still being made in the 2010s are of this type . The first color negative films and corresponding print films were modified versions of these films . They were introduced around 1940 but only came into wide use for commercial motion picture production in the early 1950s . In the US , Eastman Kodak 's Eastmancolor was the usual choice , but it was often re-branded with another trade name , such as `` WarnerColor '' , by the studio or the film processor .

+ In July , the Permanente Foundation formed to operate Northern California hospitals that would be linked to the outpatient health plans , followed shortly thereafter by the creation of Northern Permanente Foundation for Oregon and Washington and Southern Permanente Foundation for California . The name Permanente came from Permanente Creek , which flowed past Henry Kaiser 's first cement plant on Black Mountain in Cupertino , California . Kaiser 's first wife , Bess Fosburgh , liked the name . An abandoned Oakland facility was modernized as the 170 - bed Permanente Hospital opened on August 1 , 1942 . Three weeks later , the 71 - bed Richmond Field Hospital opened . Six first aid stations were set up in the shipyards to treat industrial accidents and minor illness . Each first aid station had an ambulance ready to rush patients to the surgical field hospital if required . Stabilized patients could be moved to the larger hospital for recuperative care . The Northern Permanente Hospital opened two weeks later to serve workers at the Kaiser shipyard in Vancouver , Washington . Shipyard workers paid seven cents per day for comprehensive health care coverage ; and within a year the shipyard health plan employed sixty physicians with salaries between $450 and $1,000 per month . These physicians established California Physicians Service to offer similar health coverage to the families of shipyard workers . In 1944 , Kaiser decided to continue the program after the war and to open it up to the general public .

It is credited to Paracelsus who expressed the classic toxicology maxim `` All things are poison and nothing is without poison ; only the dose makes a thing not a poison . '' This is often condensed to : `` The dose makes the poison '' or in Latin , `` Sola dosis facit venenum '' . It means that a substance can produce the harmful effect associated with its toxic properties only if it reaches a susceptible biological system within the body in a high enough concentration ( i.e. , dose ) .

+ The death penalty was de facto abolished in Canada in 1963 , and Bill C - 84 was enacted in 1976 resulting in the de jure abolition of the death penalty , except for certain military offences committed by members of the Canadian Armed Forces ( cowardice , desertion , unlawful surrender , and spying for the enemy ) which are prosecuted under the National Defence Act . In 1998 , Canada eliminated the death penalty for these military offences as well .
+ Capital punishment in Canada dates back to Canada 's earliest history , including its period as a French colony and , after 1763 , its time as a British colony . From 1867 to the elimination of the death penalty for murder on July 14 , 1976 , 1,481 people had been sentenced to death , and 710 had been executed . Of those executed , 697 were men and 13 were women . The only method used in Canada for capital punishment of civilians after the end of the French regime was hanging . The last execution in Canada was the double hanging of Arthur Lucas and Ronald Turpin on December 11 , 1962 , at Toronto 's Don Jail .

+ The epidermis contains no blood vessels , and cells in the deepest layers are nourished almost exclusively by diffused oxygen from the surrounding air and to a far lesser degree by blood capillaries extending to the outer layers of the dermis . The main type of cells which make up the epidermis are Merkel cells , keratinocytes , with melanocytes and Langerhans cells also present . The epidermis can be further subdivided into the following strata ( beginning with the outermost layer ) : corneum , lucidum ( only in palms of hands and bottoms of feet ) , granulosum , spinosum , basale . Cells are formed through mitosis at the basale layer . The daughter cells ( see cell division ) move up the strata changing shape and composition as they die due to isolation from their blood source . The cytoplasm is released and the protein keratin is inserted . They eventually reach the corneum and slough off ( desquamation ) . This process is called `` keratinization '' . This keratinized layer of skin is responsible for keeping water in the body and keeping other harmful chemicals and pathogens out , making skin a natural barrier to infection .

+ Carnegie Hall is named after Andrew Carnegie , who funded its construction . It was intended as a venue for the Oratorio Society of New York and the New York Symphony Society , on whose boards Carnegie served . Construction began in 1890 , and was carried out by Isaac A. Hopper and Company . Although the building was in use from April 1891 , the official opening night was May 5 , with a concert conducted by maestro Walter Damrosch and great Russian composer Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky . Originally known simply as `` Music Hall '' ( the words `` Music Hall founded by Andrew Carnegie '' still appear on the façade above the marquee ) , the hall was renamed Carnegie Hall in 1893 after board members of the Music Hall Company of New York ( the hall 's original governing body ) persuaded Carnegie to allow the use of his name . Several alterations were made to the building between 1893 and 1896 , including the addition of two towers of artists ' studios , and alterations to the smaller auditorium on the building 's lower level .

+ The Currency Act of 1764 ( 4 Geo . III c. 34 ) extended the 1751 Act to all of the British colonies of North America . Unlike the earlier Act , this statute did not prohibit the colonies from issuing paper money , but it did forbid them from designating future currency emissions as legal tender for public and private debts . This tight money policy created financial difficulties in the colonies , where gold and silver were in short supply . Benjamin Franklin , a colonial agent in London , lobbied for repeal of the Act over the next several years , as did other agents . The act arose when Virginia farmers continued to import during the French and Indian War . Virginia issued 250,000 pounds in bills of credit to finance both public and private debts . This legislation differed from the 1751 act in that it prohibited the colonists from designating paper currency for use as payment for any debts , public or private . Parliament did not , however , prohibit the colonists from issuing paper money . The Act was put into place as a hedge against risks associated with economic fluctuations and uncertainty .
+ SDS developed from the Student League for Industrial Democracy ( SLID ) , the youth branch of a socialist educational organization known as the League for Industrial Democracy ( LID ) . LID descended from the Intercollegiate Socialist Society , started in 1905 . Early in 1960 , the SLID changed its name into SDS at the behest of its then acting Director , Aryeh Neier . The phrase `` industrial democracy '' sounded too narrow and too labor oriented , making it more difficult to recruit students . Moreover , because the LID 's leadership did not correspond to the expectations and the mood on the campuses , the SLID felt the need to dissociate itself from its parent organization . SDS held its first meeting in 1960 on the University of Michigan campus at Ann Arbor , Michigan , where Alan Haber was elected president . Its political manifesto , known as the Port Huron Statement , was adopted at the organization 's first convention in 1962 , based on an earlier draft by staff member Tom Hayden .

+ In January 2004 , the NASA twin Mars Exploration Rovers named Spirit ( MER - A ) and Opportunity ( MER - B ) landed on the surface of Mars . Both have met or exceeded all their targets . Among the most significant scientific returns has been conclusive evidence that liquid water existed at some time in the past at both landing sites . Martian dust devils and windstorms have occasionally cleaned both rovers ' solar panels , and thus increased their lifespan . Spirit Rover ( MER - A ) was active until 2010 , when it stopped sending data because it had fallen into a sand dune .

Haji Sahib agreed to the request , however , he had been declared a proclaimed offender by the British for his anti-British activities and his entry was banned into British controlled territory . He was residing in tribal territory , which was outside British control , so Nawab Sahib prevailed upon Sir George Roos - Keppel and the British to permit Haji Sahib to enter British controlled territory for one day so he could lay the foundation stone of Islamia College . The British agreed to this request with the understanding that Haji Sahib would return to tribal territory once he had laid the foundation stone . Haji Sahib was permitted to enter British controlled territory for the ceremony and spent the night in the ' Pokh ' Mosque of Tehkal . At the foundation stone laying ceremony , Sir Roos Keppel and other British officials were present , so Haji Sahib hid his face in his sheet ( Chadar ) from them and was led by Sheikh Muhammad Ibrahim to the place where he was to lay the foundation stone . After laying the stone Haji Sahib went to Tehkal and then returned to the tribal territory .

+ Acid rain is a rain or any other form of precipitation that is unusually acidic , meaning that it has elevated levels of hydrogen ions ( low pH ) . It can have harmful effects on plants , aquatic animals and infrastructure . Acid rain is caused by emissions of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide , which react with the water molecules in the atmosphere to produce acids . Some governments have made efforts since the 1970s to reduce the release of sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide into the atmosphere with positive results . Nitrogen oxides can also be produced naturally by lightning strikes , and sulfur dioxide is produced by volcanic eruptions . Acid rain has been shown to have adverse impacts on forests , freshwaters and soils , killing insect and aquatic life - forms , causing paint to peel , corrosion of steel structures such as bridges , and weathering of stone buildings and statues as well as having impacts on human health .

+ Superman is most vulnerable to green Kryptonite , mineral debris from Krypton transformed into radioactive material by the forces that destroyed the planet . Exposure to green Kryptonite radiation nullifies Superman 's powers and immobilizes him with pain and nausea ; prolonged exposure will eventually kill him . The only substance on Earth that can protect him from Kryptonite is lead , which blocks the radiation . Lead is also the only known substance that Superman can not see through with his x-ray vision . Kryptonite was introduced in 1943 as a plot device to allow the radio - serial voice actor , Bud Collyer , to take some time off . Although green Kryptonite is the most commonly seen form , writers have introduced other forms over the years : such as red , gold , blue , white , and black , each with its own effect .
+ In solid - state physics , the work function ( sometimes spelled workfunction ) is the minimum thermodynamic work ( i.e. energy ) needed to remove an electron from a solid to a point in the vacuum immediately outside the solid surface . Here `` immediately '' means that the final electron position is far from the surface on the atomic scale , but still too close to the solid to be influenced by ambient electric fields in the vacuum . The work function is not a characteristic of a bulk material , but rather a property of the surface of the material ( depending on crystal face and contamination ) .
+ An error does not count as a hit but still counts as an at bat for the batter unless , in the scorer 's judgment , the batter would have reached first base safely but one or more of the additional base ( s ) reached was the result of the fielder 's mistake . In that case , the play will be scored both as a hit ( for the number of bases the fielders should have limited the batter to ) and an error . However , if a batter is judged to have reached base solely because of a fielder 's mistake , it is scored as a `` hit on error , '' and treated the same as if the batter had been put out , hence lowering his batting average .

The central picture showed three generations of a family raising a toast to the card 's recipient : on either side were scenes of charity , with food and clothing being given to the poor . Allegedly the image of the family drinking wine together proved controversial , but the idea was shrewd : Cole had helped introduce the Penny Post three years earlier . Two batches totaling 2,050 cards were printed and sold that year for a shilling each .

+ It has been argued that `` during the twentieth century two ' revolutions ' transformed rural Mexico : the Mexican Revolution ( 1910 -- 1920 ) and the Green Revolution ( 1950 -- 1970 ) '' . With the support of the Mexican government , the U.S. government , the United Nations , the Food and Agriculture Organization ( FAO ) , and the Rockefeller Foundation , Mexico made a concerted effort to transform agricultural productivity , particularly with irrigated rather than dry - land cultivation in its northwest , to solve its problem of lack of food self - sufficiency . In the center and south of Mexico , where large - scale production faced challenges , agricultural production languished . Increased production meant food self - sufficiency in Mexico to feed its growing and urbanizing population , with the number of calories consumed per Mexican increasing . Technology was seen as a valuable way to feed the poor , and would relieve some pressure of the land redistribution process .

+ In 1917 , with Russia experiencing political upheaval following widespread disillusionment there over the war , and with Britain and France low on credit , Germany appeared to have the upper hand in Europe , while the Ottoman Empire clung to its possessions in the Middle East . In the same year , Germany decided to resume unrestricted submarine warfare against any vessel approaching British waters ; this attempt to starve Britain into surrender was balanced against the knowledge that it would almost certainly bring the United States into the war . Germany also made a secret offer to help Mexico regain territories lost in the Mexican -- American War in an encoded telegram known as the Zimmermann Telegram , which was intercepted by British Intelligence . Publication of that communique outraged Americans just as German U-boats started sinking American merchant ships in the North Atlantic . Wilson then asked Congress for `` a war to end all wars '' that would `` make the world safe for democracy '' , and Congress voted to declare war on Germany on April 6 , 1917 . On December 7 , 1917 , the U.S. declared war on Austria - Hungary . U.S. troops began arriving on the Western Front in large numbers in 1918 .
+ The National Football League Kickoff game , along with related festivities , marks the official start of the National Football League ( NFL ) regular season . A single game is held , preceded by a concert and other ceremonies . This first game of the season is usually scheduled for the Thursday following Labor Day and since 2004 , it was hosted by the most recent Super Bowl champions . However , in 2012 , the game was moved to Wednesday to prevent conflicts with the acceptance speech of the Democratic National Convention . The remainder of the league plays their opening weekend games the following Sunday and Monday .

+ Religion in Sweden is diversified . Christianity was the religion of virtually all of the Swedish population from the 12th to the early 20th century , but it has rapidly declined throughout the late 20th and early 21st century . In 2015 , legally registered Christians comprised 69.9 % of the total population .
+ The Lutheran Church of Sweden -- which was the state religion until 2000 -- has a registered membership of 6.1 million Swedish citizens , equal to 61.2 % of the total population . One reason for the high membership might be the fact that until 1996 all newborns with at least one parent being a member of the Church of Sweden were also registered as members of the church . Yet the membership is declining rapidly , about 1 % each year , falling from 95 % in 1970 and 85 % in 2000 .
+ Some of the on - location filming was done in Astoria , Oregon . The interior and exterior of the old Clatsop County Jail features as the holding place of Jake Fratelli at the start of the film .

The Walsh family home is a real home on the eastern end of the town . The scenes along the coast were filmed in Oregon , but they were a considerable distance from Astoria . The Goonies bicycle to Ecola State Park ( in reality , over 26 miles south of Astoria ) and then find the starting location of the map using Haystack Rock as a guide . Underground scenes were filmed at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank , California , including the cavernous set where the Goonies find One - Eyed Willy 's ship , which was in Stage 16 , one of the largest sound stages in America . The final scene was shot at Goat Rock State Beach in Sonoma County , California .
+ The NFL owners meet to make a selection on the site , usually three to five years prior to the event . In 2007 , NFL commissioner Roger Goodell suggested that a Super Bowl might be played in London , perhaps at Wembley Stadium . The game has never been played in a region that lacks an NFL franchise ; seven Super Bowls have been played in Los Angeles , but none were held there in the 21 - year period when the league had no team in the area . New Orleans , the site of the 2013 Super Bowl , invested more than $1 billion in infrastructure improvements in the years leading up to the game .
+- During the last scene , when Gerda and Hans are standing by Vejle Fjord , mountains are present in the background . Denmark has no mountains .

+ Knight writes that anti-apartheid movement in the U.S. found that Washington was unwilling to get involved in economically isolating South Africa . The movement responded by organized lobbying of individual businesses and institutional investors to end their involvement with or investments in the apartheid state as a matter of corporate social responsibility . This campaign was coordinated by several faith - based institutional investors eventually leading to the creation of the Interfaith Center on Corporate Responsibility . An array of celebrities , including singer Paul Simon , also participated .

+ Treaty power is a co-ordinated effort between the Executive branch and the Senate . The President may form and negotiate , but the treaty must be advised and consented to by a two - thirds vote in the Senate . Only after the Senate approves the treaty can the President ratify it . Once it is ratified , it becomes binding on all the states under the Supremacy Clause . While the House of Representatives does not vote on it at all , the requirement for the Senate 's advice and consent to ratification makes it considerably more difficult to rally enough political support for international treaties . Also , if implementation of the treaty requires the expenditure of funds , the House of Representatives may be able to block or at least impede such implementation by refusing to vote for the appropriation of the necessary funds .

+ ΔF508 ( Delta - F508 , full name CFTRΔF508 or F508del - CFTR ; rs113993960 ) is a specific mutation within the gene for a protein called the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator ( CFTR ) . The mutation is a deletion of three nucleotides spanning positions 507 and 508 of the CFTR gene on chromosome 7 , which ultimately results in the loss of a single codon for the amino acid phenylalanine ( F ) . A person with the CFTRΔF508 mutation will produce an abnormal CFTR protein that lacks this phenylalanine residue and which can not fold properly . This protein does not escape the endoplasmic reticulum for further processing . Having two copies of this mutation ( one inherited from each parent ) is by far the most common cause of cystic fibrosis ( CF ) , responsible for nearly two - thirds of cases worldwide .
+ The location of the Super Bowl is chosen by the NFL well in advance , usually three to five years before the game . Cities place bids to host a Super Bowl and are evaluated in terms of stadium renovation and their ability to host . In 2014 , a document listing the specific requirements of Super Bowl hosts was leaked , giving a clear list of what was required for a Super Bowl host . Much of the cost of the Super Bowl is to be assumed by the host community , although some costs are enumerated within the requirements to be assumed by the NFL . Some of the host requirements include :

+ Defence Against the Dark Arts , commonly shortened to D.A.D.A. , is the class that teaches students defensive techniques to defend against the Dark Arts , and to be protected from Dark creatures . In Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows , with Death - Eaters in charge of the school , the subject is renamed the Dark Arts , and involves pupils practicing the Cruciatus Curse on those who have earned detentions . The subject has an extraordinarily high turnover of staff members -- throughout the series no Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher has retained the post for more than one school year . Harry is exceptionally skilled in this subject . During the period the story takes place , the class is taught by Quirinus Quirrell ( book one ) , Gilderoy Lockhart ( book two ) , Remus Lupin ( book three ) , Bartemius Crouch Jr impersonating Alastor `` Mad - eye '' Moody ( book four ) , Dolores Umbridge ( book five ) , Severus Snape ( book six ) , and Amycus Carrow ( book seven ) . Hagrid suggests in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets that `` They 're startin ' ter think the job 's jinxed . No one 's lasted long for a while now . '' In Half - Blood Prince , Dumbledore suggests that Voldemort cursed the position because his application for it was rejected . The existence of the jinx was eventually confirmed by Rowling . The position had also been coveted by Snape , but he was denied the position as well . Snape was finally appointed D.A.D.A. professor in Half - Blood Prince . Rowling announced in an interview that once Voldemort had died , the jinx he placed on the office was lifted and a permanent professor had been teaching the subject between the end of Deathly Hallows and the epilogue , set nineteen years afterwards . Furthermore , she imagines that Harry Potter occasionally comes to the class to give lectures on the subject .

+ During the Great Depression , popcorn was fairly inexpensive at 5 -- 10 cents a bag and became popular . Thus , while other businesses failed , the popcorn business thrived and became a source of income for many struggling farmers , including the Redenbacher family , namesake of the famous popcorn brand . During World War II , sugar rations diminished candy production , and Americans compensated by eating three times as much popcorn as they had before . The snack was popular at theaters , much to the initial displeasure of many of the theater owners , who thought it distracted from the films . Their minds eventually changed , however , and in 1938 a Midwestern theater owner named Glen W. Dickson installed popcorn machines in the lobbies of his theaters . The venture was a financial success , and the trend soon spread .
+ About two thirds of the total body water of humans is held in the cells , mostly in the cytosol , and the remainder is found in the extracellular compartment . The extracellular fluids may be divided into three types : interstitial fluid in the `` interstitial compartment '' ( surrounding tissue cells and bathing them in a solution of nutrients and other chemicals ) , blood plasma and lymph in the `` intravascular compartment '' ( inside the blood vessels and lymphatic vessels ) , and small amounts of transcellular fluid such as ocular and cerebrospinal fluids in the `` transcellular compartment '' . The interstitial and intravascular compartments readily exchange water and solutes but the third extracellular compartment , the transcellular , is thought of as separate from the other two and not in dynamic equilibrium with them .
+ Touching Evil is a British television drama serial , which began airing in 1997 . It was produced by United Productions for Anglia Television , and screened on the ITV network . The first season consists of six 50 minute ( one - hour with advertisements ) episodes . It was created by Paul Abbott , and written by Abbott with Russell T Davies . The serial was very popular , and led to two sequel serials in 1998 and 1999 , although these were not written by Abbott or Davies . The first episode aired on 29 April 1997 . The last episode of the series aired on 6 June 1999 , after 16 episodes and 3 seasons .
+ Citizens of the war - weary nation wanted stability , peace , and an end to conditions that at times bordered on chaos . Nevertheless , those on the right who wished to restore the monarchy by putting Louis XVIII on the throne , and those on the left who would have renewed the Reign of Terror , tried but failed to overthrow the Directory . The earlier atrocities had made confidence or goodwill between parties impossible . The Directory régime met opposition from Jacobins on the left and royalists on the right ( the latter were secretly subsidised by the British government ) . The army suppressed riots and counter-revolutionary activities . In this way the army and in particular Napoleon gained total power .

+ In some regions , most notably in Awadh , the rebellion took on the attributes of a patriotic revolt against European presence and power . However , the rebel leaders proclaimed no articles of faith that presaged a new political system . Even so , the rebellion proved to be an important watershed in Indian - and British Empire history . It led to the dissolution of the East India Company , and forced the British to reorganize the army , the financial system , and the administration in India , through the passage of the Government of India Act 1858 . India was thereafter administered directly by the British government in the new British Raj . On 1 November 1858 , Queen Victoria issued a proclamation to Indians , which while lacking the authority of a constitutional provision , promised rights similar to those of other British subjects . In the following decades , when admission to these rights was not always forthcoming , Indians were to pointedly refer to the Queen 's proclamation in growing avowals of a new nationalism .
+ The song was released in 1977 , following several other hits from The Stranger including `` Just the Way You Are '' , `` Movin ' Out ( Anthony 's Song ) '' and `` Only the Good Die Young '' . Musically , Joel has said that he was influenced by Gordon Lightfoot and his mellow acoustic guitar ballads . It is a love song that Joel wrote for his then wife , Elizabeth Weber . Elizabeth had taken over management of Joel 's career , and was able to put his financial affairs in order after Joel had signed some bad deals and contracts . She was a tough and savvy negotiator who could `` wound with her eyes '' or `` steal like a thief '' , but would `` never give in '' . Because of her tough - as - nails negotiating style , many business adversaries thought she was `` unfeminine , '' but to Joel , she was always a woman . The two eventually divorced in 1982 .
+ In 1954 , language FORTRAN was invented at IBM by a team led by John Backus ; it was the first widely used high level general purpose programming language to have a functional implementation , as opposed to just a design on paper . It is still a popular language for high - performance computing and is used for programs that benchmark and rank the world 's fastest supercomputers .
+ Popularized by radio personality Jon Hein in the 1990s and early 2000s , the phrase derives from a scene in a fifth - season episode of the sitcom Happy Days in which the character Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water - skis . This was deemed a ratings ploy , for it was outside the original thrust of the sitcom .
+ Seafloor spreading is a process that occurs at mid-ocean ridges , where new oceanic crust is formed through volcanic activity and then gradually moves away from the ridge . Seafloor spreading helps explain continental drift in the theory of plate tectonics . When oceanic plates diverge , tensional stress causes fractures to occur in the lithosphere. The motivating force for seafloor spreading ridges is tectonic plate pull rather than magma pressure , although there is typically significant magma activity at spreading ridges . At a spreading center basaltic magma rises up the fractures and cools on the ocean floor to form new seabed . Hydrothermal vents are common at spreading centers . Older rocks will be found farther away from the spreading zone while younger rocks will be found nearer to the spreading zone . Additionally spreading rates determine if the ridge is a fast , intermediate , or slow . As a general rule , fast ridges see spreading rate of more than 9 cm / year . Intermediate ridges have a spreading rate of 4 -- 9 cm / year while slow spreading ridges have a rate less than 4 cm / year .
+ External threats closely shaped the course of the Revolution . The Revolutionary Wars beginning in 1792 ultimately featured French victories that facilitated the conquest of the Italian Peninsula , the Low Countries and most territories west of the Rhine -- achievements that had eluded previous French governments for centuries . Internally , popular agitation radicalised the Revolution significantly , culminating in the rise of Maximilien Robespierre and the Jacobins . The dictatorship imposed by the Committee of Public Safety during the Reign of Terror , from 1793 until 1794 , established price controls on food and other items , abolished slavery in French colonies abroad , dechristianised society through the creation of a new calendar and the expulsion of religious figures , and secured the borders of the new republic from its enemies . Large numbers of civilians were executed by revolutionary tribunals during the Terror , with estimates ranging from 16,000 to 40,000 . After the Thermidorian Reaction , an executive council known as the Directory assumed control of the French state in 1795 . The rule of the Directory was characterised by suspended elections , debt repudiations , financial instability , persecutions against the Catholic clergy , and significant military conquests abroad . Dogged by charges of corruption , the Directory collapsed in a coup led by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1799 . Napoleon , who became the hero of the Revolution through his popular military campaigns , went on to establish the Consulate and later the First Empire , setting the stage for a wider array of global conflicts in the Napoleonic Wars .

+ `` While My Guitar Gently Weeps '' is a song by the English rock band the Beatles from their 1968 double album The Beatles ( also known as `` the White Album '' ) . It was written by George Harrison , the band 's lead guitarist . The song serves as a comment on the disharmony within the Beatles following their return from studying Transcendental Meditation in India in early 1968 . This lack of camaraderie was reflected in the band 's initial apathy towards the composition , which Harrison countered by inviting his friend and occasional collaborator , Eric Clapton , to contribute to the recording .

+ The history of manga is said to originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th century , and it is believed they represent the basis for the right - to - left reading style . The word first came into common usage in the late 18th century . Manga is a Japanese term that can be translated as `` comic '' ; Historians and writers on manga history have described two broad and complementary processes shaping modern manga . Their views differ in the relative importance they attribute to the role of cultural and historical events following World War II versus the role of pre-war , Meiji , and pre-Meiji Japanese culture and art .
+ The first quarter of the 19th century showed the continuation of the slow colonization of the southern and central California coast by Spanish missionaries , ranchers and troops . By 1820 Spanish influence was marked by the chain of missions reaching from Loreto , north to San Diego , to just north of today 's San Francisco Bay Area , and extended inland approximately 25 to 50 miles ( 40 to 80 km ) from the missions . Outside of this zone , perhaps 200,000 to 250,000 Native Americans were continuing to lead traditional lives . The Adams -- Onís Treaty , signed in 1819 , set the northern boundary of the Spanish claims at the 42nd parallel , effectively creating today 's northern boundary between California and Oregon .
+ One common way to extinguish a fire is to spray it with water . The water has two roles : It vaporizes when it comes in contact with fire , and this vapor displaces the oxygen ( the volume of water vapor is 1,700 times greater than liquid water , at 1,000 ° F ( 538 ° C ) it expands over 4,000 times ) . This leaves the fire without enough of the combustive agent , and it dies out . The vaporization of water also absorbs heat ; it thereby cools the smoke , air , walls , and objects that could act as further fuel , and thus prevents one of the means by which fires grow , which is by `` jumping '' to nearby heat / fuel sources to start new fires , which then combine . Water extinguishment is thus a combination of `` asphyxia '' ( cutting off the oxygen supply ) and cooling . The flame itself is suppressed by asphyxia , but the cooling is the most important element in mastering a fire in a closed area .
+ Manga is said to originate from scrolls dating back to the 12th and 13th centuries . During the Edo period ( 1603 - 1867 ) , another book of drawings , Toba Ehon , embedded the concept of manga . The word first came into common usage in the late 18th century with the publication of such works as Santō Kyōden 's picturebook Shiji no yukikai ( 1798 ) , and in the early 19th century with such works as Aikawa Minwa 's Manga hyakujo ( 1814 ) and the celebrated Hokusai Manga books ( 1814 -- 1834 ) containing assorted drawings from the sketchbooks of the famous ukiyo - e artist Hokusai who lived from 1760 -- 1849 . Rakuten Kitazawa ( 1876 -- 1955 ) first used the word `` manga '' in the modern sense .
+ All fluoridation methods , including water fluoridation , create low levels of fluoride ions in saliva and plaque fluid , thus exerting a topical or surface effect . A person living in an area with fluoridated water may experience rises of fluoride concentration in saliva to about 0.04 mg / L several times during a day . Technically , this fluoride does not prevent cavities but rather controls the rate at which they develop . When fluoride ions are present in plaque fluid along with dissolved hydroxyapatite , and the pH is higher than 4.5 , a fluorapatite - like remineralized veneer is formed over the remaining surface of the enamel ; this veneer is much more acid - resistant than the original hydroxyapatite , and is formed more quickly than ordinary remineralized enamel would be . The cavity - prevention effect of fluoride is mostly due to these surface effects , which occur during and after tooth eruption . Although some systemic ( whole - body ) fluoride returns to the saliva via blood plasma , and to unerupted teeth via plasma or crypt fluid , there is little data to determine what percentages of fluoride 's anticavity effect comes from these systemic mechanisms . Also , although fluoride affects the physiology of dental bacteria , its effect on bacterial growth does not seem to be relevant to cavity prevention .
+ The optic nerve leaves the orbit ( eye socket ) via the optic canal , running postero - medially towards the optic chiasm , where there is a partial decussation ( crossing ) of fibres from the temporal visual fields ( the nasal hemi - retina ) of both eyes . The proportion of decussating fibers varies between species , and is correlated with the degree of binocular vision enjoyed by a species . Most of the axons of the optic nerve terminate in the lateral geniculate nucleus from where information is relayed to the visual cortex , while other axons terminate in the pretectal nucleus and are involved in reflexive eye movements . Other axons terminate in the suprachiasmatic nucleus and are involved in regulating the sleep - wake cycle . Its diameter increases from about 1.6 mm within the eye to 3.5 mm in the orbit to 4.5 mm within the cranial space . The optic nerve component lengths are 1 mm in the globe , 24 mm in the orbit , 9 mm in the optic canal , and 16 mm in the cranial space before joining the optic chiasm . There , partial decussation occurs , and about 53 % of the fibers cross to form the optic tracts . Most of these fibres terminate in the lateral geniculate body .

+ At the north end , a portion of the early route through Pacific Grove begins at the intersection of Del Monte Blvd and Esplanade Street . The famous portion of 17 - Mile Drive then begins a few miles south of this point . The crossing of Highway 68 ( Holman Highway / Sunset Drive ) and 17 - Mile Drive marks the entrance to Pebble Beach .
+ The drive serves as the main road through the gated community of Pebble Beach . Inside this community , nonresidents have to pay a toll to use the road . Like the community , the majority of 17 - Mile Drive is owned and operated by the Pebble Beach Corporation . The 17 - Mile Drive is a 17 - mile ( 27 km ) - long scenic loop having four primary entrances - the main highway entrance at California State Route 1 , and entrances in Carmel and Pacific Grove .
+ The optic nerve , also known as cranial nerve II , is a paired nerve that transmits visual information from the retina to the brain . In humans , the optic nerve is derived from optic stalks during the seventh week of development and is composed of retinal ganglion cell axons and glial cells ; it extends from the optic disc to the optic chiasma and continues as the optic tract to the lateral geniculate nucleus , pretectal nuclei , and superior colliculus .
+ The first director of the NRA was Hugh S. Johnson , a retired United States Army general and a successful businessman . He was named Time magazine 's `` Man of the Year '' in 1933 . Johnson saw the NRA as a national crusade designed to restore employment and regenerate industry .
+ Though there are diverse models for the scientific method available , in general there is a continuous process that includes observations about the natural world . People are naturally inquisitive , so they often come up with questions about things they see or hear , and they often develop ideas or hypotheses about why things are the way they are . The best hypotheses lead to predictions that can be tested in various ways . The most conclusive testing of hypotheses comes from reasoning based on carefully controlled experimental data . Depending on how well additional tests match the predictions , the original hypothesis may require refinement , alteration , expansion or even rejection . If a particular hypothesis becomes very well supported , a general theory may be developed .
+ On 23 September 1779 , the squadron encountered the Baltic Fleet of 41 sail under convoy of the HMS Serapis and HM hired armed vessel Countess of Scarborough near Flamborough Head . The Bonhomme Richard and Serapis entered a bitter engagement at about 6 : 00 p.m. The battle continued for the next four hours , costing the lives of nearly half of the American and British crews . British victory seemed inevitable , as the more heavily armed Serapis used its firepower to rake Bonhomme Richard with devastating effect . The commander of the Serapis finally called on Jones to surrender . He replied , `` Sir , I have not yet begun to fight ! '' Jones eventually managed to lash the ships together , nullifying his opponent 's greater maneuverability and allowing him to take advantage of the larger size and considerably more numerous crew of Bonhomme Richard . An attempt by the Americans to board Serapis was repulsed , as was an attempt by the British to board Bonhomme Richard . Finally , after another of Jones 's ships joined the fight , the British captain was forced to surrender at about 10 : 30 p.m. The Bonhomme Richard -- shattered , on fire , leaking badly -- defied all efforts to save her and sank about 36 hours later at 11 : 00 a.m. on Saturday , 25 September 1779 . Jones sailed the captured Serapis to the Dutch United Provinces for repairs .

+ In meteorology , precipitation is any product of the condensation of atmospheric water vapor that falls under gravity . The main forms of precipitation include drizzle , rain , sleet , snow , graupel and hail . Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor , so that the water condenses and `` precipitates '' . Thus , fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions , because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to precipitate . Two processes , possibly acting together , can lead to air becoming saturated : cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air . Precipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud . Short , intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called `` showers . ''

+ In optics , a real image is an image which is located in the plane of convergence for the light rays that originate from a given object . If a screen is placed in the plane of a real image the image will generally become visible on the screen . Examples of real images include the image seen on a cinema screen ( the source being the projector ) , the image produced on a detector in the rear of a camera , and the image produced on an eyeball retina ( the camera and eye focus light through an internal convex lens ) . In ray diagrams ( such as the images on the right ) , real rays of light are always represented by full , solid lines ; perceived or extrapolated rays of light are represented by dashed lines . A real image occurs where rays converge , whereas a virtual image occurs where rays only appear to converge .

+ The deciphering of the structure of DNA by Watson and Crick in 1953 suggested that each strand of the double helix would serve as a template for synthesis of a new strand . However , there was no way of knowing how the newly synthesized strands might combine with the template strands to form two double helical DNA molecules . The semiconservative model seemed most reasonable since it would allow each daughter strand to remain associated with its template strand . The semiconservative model was supported by the Meselson - Stahl experiment and other even more revealing experiments that allowed for autoradiographic visualization of the distribution of old and new strands within replicated chromosomes .

+ `` A rose by any other name would smell as sweet '' is a popular reference to William Shakespeare 's play Romeo and Juliet , in which Juliet seems to argue that it does not matter that Romeo is from her family 's rival house of Montague , that is , that he is named `` Montague '' . The reference is often used to imply that the names of things do not affect what they really are . This formulation is , however , a paraphrase of Shakespeare 's actual language . Juliet compares Romeo to a rose saying that if he was not named Romeo he would still be handsome and be Juliet 's love . This states that if he was not Romeo , then he would not be a Montague and she would be able to get married with no problem at all .

+ By November 1971 , the war seemed inevitable and the Soviet Union had reportedly warned Pakistan against the war which they termed as `` suicidal course for Pakistan 's unity . '' Throughout November 1971 , there were thousands of people led by conservative Pakistani politicians who marched in Lahore and across Pakistan , calling for Pakistan to Crush India . India responded by starting a massive buildup of Indian army on the western borders and the Indian army waited until December , when the drier ground would make for easier operations and Himalayan passes would be closed by snow , preventing any Chinese intervention . On 23 November , President Yahya Khan declared a state of emergency in all of Pakistan and told his people to prepare for war .
+ In early March 1971 , approximately ~ 300 Biharis were slaughtered in rioting by Bengali mobs in Chittagong alone . The Government of Pakistan used the `` Bihari massacre ' '' to justify its deployment of the military in East Pakistan on 25 March when it initiated its military crackdown . President Yahya Khan then called on the military , which was overwhelming led by West Pakistanis , to suppress dissent in the East after accepting the resignation of Lieutenant - General Yaqub Ali Khan , the chief of staff of the East - Pakistani military .

+ The name French and Indian War is used mainly in the United States . It refers to the two main enemies of the British colonists : the royal French forces and the various American Indian forces allied with them . The British colonists were supported at various times by the Iroquois , Catawba , and Cherokee , and the French colonists were supported by Wabanaki Confederacy members Abenaki and Mi'kmaq , and Algonquin , Lenape , Ojibwa , Ottawa , Shawnee , and Wyandot .
+ The French and Indian War ( 1754 -- 63 ) comprised the North American theater of the worldwide Seven Years ' War of 1756 -- 63 . It pitted the colonies of British America against those of New France . Both sides were supported by military units from their parent countries of Great Britain and France , as well as by American Indian allies . At the start of the war , the French North American colonies had a population of roughly 60,000 settlers , compared with 2 million in the British North American colonies . The outnumbered French particularly depended on the Indians . The European nations declared war on one another in 1756 following months of localized conflict , escalating the war from a regional affair into an intercontinental conflict .
+ Swine influenza is an infection caused by any one of several types of swine influenza viruses . Swine influenza virus ( SIV ) or swine - origin influenza virus ( S - OIV ) is any strain of the influenza family of viruses that is endemic in pigs . As of 2009 , the known SIV strains include influenza C and the subtypes of influenza A known as H1N1 , H1N2 , H2N1 , H3N1 , H3N2 , and H2N3 .
+ The phylogenetic origin of the flu virus that caused the 2009 pandemics can be traced before 1918 . Around 1918 , the ancestral virus , of avian origin , crossed the species boundaries and infected humans as human H1N1 . The same phenomenon took place soon after in America , where the human virus was infecting pigs ; it led to the emergence of the H1N1 swine strain , which later became the classic swine flu .
+ Swine flu | Synonyms | Pig influenza , swine flu , hog flu , pig flu | | Electron microscope image of the reassorted H1N1 influenza virus photographed at the CDC Influenza Laboratory . The viruses are 80 -- 120 nanometres in diameter . | Specialty | Infectious disease | ( edit on Wikidata ) |
+ The photoelectric ( optical ) smoke detector was invented by Donald Steele and Robert Emmark of Electro Signal Lab and patented in 1972 .
+ A photoelectric , or optical smoke detector contains a source of infrared , visible , or ultraviolet light ( typically an incandescent light bulb or light - emitting diode ) , a lens , and a photoelectric receiver ( typically a photodiode ) . In spot - type detectors all of these components are arranged inside a chamber where air , which may contain smoke from a nearby fire , flows . In large open areas such as atria and auditoriums , optical beam or projected - beam smoke detectors are used instead of a chamber within the unit : a wall - mounted unit emits a beam of infrared or ultraviolet light which is either received and processed by a separate device , or reflected back to the receiver by a reflector . In some types , particularly optical beam types , the light emitted by the light source passes through the air being tested and reaches the photosensor . The received light intensity will be reduced due to scattering from particulates of smoke , air - borne dust , or other substances ; the circuitry detects the light intensity and generates the alarm if it is below a specified threshold , potentially due to smoke . In other types , typically chamber types , the light is not directed at the sensor , which is not illuminated in the absence of particles . If the air in the chamber contains particles ( smoke or dust ) , the light is scattered and some of it reaches the sensor , triggering the alarm .
+ `` A Thousand Years '' is a song by American singer - songwriter Christina Perri and David Hodges .

Margaret Drabble described it in literature as taking place `` roughly between 1770 and 1848 '' , and few dates much earlier than 1770 will be found . In English literature , M.H. Abrams placed it between 1789 , or 1798 , this latter a very typical view , and about 1830 , perhaps a little later than some other critics . Others have proposed 1780 -- 1830 . In other fields and other countries the period denominated as Romantic can be considerably different ; musical Romanticism , for example , is generally regarded as only having ceased as a major artistic force as late as 1910 , but in an extreme extension the Four Last Songs of Richard Strauss are described stylistically as `` Late Romantic '' and were composed in 1946 -- 48 . However , in most fields the Romantic Period is said to be over by about 1850 , or earlier .
+ Romanticism ( also the Romantic era or the Romantic period ) was an artistic , literary , musical and intellectual movement that originated in Europe toward the end of the 18th century , and in most areas was at its peak in the approximate period from 1800 to 1850 . Romanticism was characterized by its emphasis on emotion and individualism as well as glorification of all the past and nature , preferring the medieval rather than the classical . It was partly a reaction to the Industrial Revolution , the aristocratic social and political norms of the Age of Enlightenment , and the scientific rationalization of nature -- all components of modernity . It was embodied most strongly in the visual arts , music , and literature , but had a major impact on historiography , education , and the natural sciences . It had a significant and complex effect on politics , with romantic thinkers influencing liberalism , radicalism , conservatism and nationalism .
+ Vincenzo Peruggia ( October 8 , 1881 -- October 8 , 1925 ) was an Italian thief , most famous for stealing the Mona Lisa on 21 August 1911 . Born in Dumenza , Varese , Italy , he died in Saint - Maur - des - Fossés , France .

+ `` Somewhere '' , sometimes referred to as `` Somewhere ( There 's a Place for Us ) '' or simply `` There 's a Place for Us '' , is a song from the 1957 Broadway musical West Side Story that was made into a film in 1961 . The music is composed by Leonard Bernstein with lyrics by Stephen Sondheim , and takes a phrase from the slow movement of Beethoven 's ' Emperor ' Piano Concerto , which forms the start of the melody , and also a longer phrase from the main theme of Pyotr Tchaikovsky 's Swan Lake .
+- Shere Khan ( शेर खान شیر خان ( Śēr Khān , `` Tiger King '' ( `` Khan '' is a common title of Indian Muslim lordship and royalty ) ; Bengal tiger ) , - A man - eating Royal Bengal Tiger who is the main villain and the archenemy of Mowgli . He is often known as `` a chief among tigers '' and in multiple adaptations as the one called `` The King of Tigers '' . Despite being born with a withered leg and derisively nicknamed `` Lungri '' ( `` The Lame One '' ) by his own mother , Shere Khan is aggressive , arrogant , self - centered , and sees himself as the rightful lord of the jungle . Tabaqui is his only friend . He has a very serious anger issue .
+ Tevye explains these events to an astonished Golde . `` Love , '' he says , `` it 's the new style . '' Tevye asks Golde , despite their own arranged marriage , `` Do You Love Me ? '' After dismissing Tevye 's question as foolish , she eventually admits that , after 25 years of living and struggling together and raising five daughters , she does . Meanwhile , Yente tells Tzeitel that she saw Chava with Fyedka . News spreads quickly in Anatevka that Perchik has been arrested and exiled to Siberia ( `` The Rumor / I Just Heard '' ) , and Hodel is determined to join him there . At the railway station , she explains to her father that her home is with her beloved , wherever he may be , although she will always love her family ( `` Far From the Home I Love '' ) .
+ By 8 October 2013 , principal photography had begun , with the shooting being done at Cambridge University , and at other locations in Cambridgeshire and across the United Kingdom .

+ The weekly Torah portion ( Hebrew : פָּרָשַׁת הַשָּׁבוּעַ Parashat ha - Shavua ) , popularly just parashah ( or parshah / pɑːrʃə / or parsha ) and also known as a Sidra ( or Sedra / sɛdrə / ) is a section of the Torah ( Five Books of Moses ) used in Jewish liturgy during a single week . It is chanted publicly by a designated reader ( ba'al koreh ) in Jewish prayer services , starting with a partial reading on the afternoon of Shabbat ( Saturday , the Jewish Sabbath ) , again during the Monday and Thursday morning services , and ending with a full reading during the following Shabbat morning services . The weekly reading is pre-empted by a special reading on major religious holidays . The Saturday morning and holiday readings are followed by a reading ( Haftarah ) from the Book of Prophets ( Nevi'im ) . There are 54 weekly parashiyot ( plural ) or parshahs ( anglicized pluralization ) in Judaism , and the full cycle is read over the course of one Jewish year .

+ Further , a handful of states have moved beyond insistence on full sovereignty , and can be considered `` post-modern '' . The ability of contemporary IR discourse to explain the relations of these different types of states is disputed . `` Levels of analysis '' is a way of looking at the international system , which includes the individual level , the domestic state as a unit , the international level of transnational and intergovernmental affairs , and the global level .
+ A diastema ( plural diastemata ) is a space or gap between two teeth . Many species of mammals have diastemata as a normal feature , most commonly between the incisors and molars . Diastemata are common for children and can exist in adult teeth as well . Diastemata are primarily caused by imbalance in the relationship between the jaw and the size of teeth . If the labial frenulum ( lip tissue ) pulls , it can also push the teeth apart and cause a diastema between the center of the two front teeth .
+ Since 1979 / 80 , all Test cricket has been played with six balls per over .

+ South Sudan was eventually approved for membership to the bloc in March 2016 , and signed a treaty of accession in April 2016 . It had six months to ratify the agreement , which it did on 5 September , at which point it formally acceded to the community . It does not yet participate to the same extent as the other members .
+ The history of international relations based on sovereign states is often traced back to the Peace of Westphalia of 1648 , a stepping stone in the development of the modern state system . Prior to this the European medieval organization of political authority was based on a vaguely hierarchical religious order . Contrary to popular belief , Westphalia still embodied layered systems of sovereignty , especially within the Holy Roman Empire . More than the Peace of Westphalia , the Treaty of Utrecht of 1713 is thought to reflect an emerging norm that sovereigns had no internal equals within a defined territory and no external superiors as the ultimate authority within the territory 's sovereign borders .
+ Dr. Sachchidananda Sinha was the first chairman ( temporary ) of Constituent Assembly . Later Dr. Rajendra Prasad was elected as the president and Its vice-president was Harendra Coomar Mookerjee , a Christian from Bengal and former vice-chancellor of Calcutta University .

Rau was appointed constitutional adviser to the assembly ; Rau prepared the original draft of the constitution , and was later appointed a judge in the Permanent Court of International Justice in The Hague .
+ A metal staircase reaches the main deck level after 1,776 steps , and the SkyPod 100 m ( 328 ft ) above after 2,579 steps ; it is the tallest metal staircase on Earth . These stairs are intended for emergency use only and are not open to the public , except for two times per year for charity stair - climb events . The average climber takes approximately 30 minutes to climb to the base of the radome , but the fastest climb on record is 7 minutes and 52 seconds in 1989 by Brendan Keenoy , an Ontario Provincial Police officer . In 2002 , Canadian Olympian and Paralympic champion Jeff Adams climbed the stairs of the tower in a specially designed wheelchair . The stairs were originally on one of the three sides of the tower ( facing north ) , with a glass view , but these were later replaced with the third elevator pair and the stairs were moved to the inside of the core . Top climbs on the new , windowless stairwell used since around 2003 have generally been over ten minutes .
+ When the reconnaissance missions were reauthorized on October 9 , poor weather kept the planes from flying . The US first obtained U-2 photographic evidence of the missiles on October 14 , when a U-2 flight piloted by Major Richard Heyser took 928 pictures on a path selected by DIA analysts , capturing images of what turned out to be an SS - 4 construction site at San Cristóbal , Pinar del Río Province ( now in Artemisa Province ) , in western Cuba .
+ Longline fishing is a commercial fishing technique . It uses a long line , called the main line , with baited hooks attached at intervals by means of branch lines called snoods ( or gangions ) . A snood is a short length of line , attached to the main line using a clip or swivel , with the hook at the other end . Longlines are classified mainly by where they are placed in the water column . This can be at the surface or at the bottom . Lines can also be set by means of an anchor , or left to drift . Hundreds or even thousands of baited hooks can hang from a single line . Longliners commonly target swordfish , tuna , halibut , sablefish and many other species .

+ The first modern usage of the specific term `` social justice '' is typically attributed to Catholic thinkers from the 1840s , including the Jesuit Luigi Taparelli in Civiltà Cattolica , based on the work of St. Thomas Aquinas . He argued that rival capitalist and socialist theories , based on subjective Cartesian thinking , undermined the unity of society present in Thomistic metaphysics as neither were sufficiently concerned with moral philosophy . Writing in 1861 , the influential British philosopher and economist , John Stuart Mill stated in Utilitarianism his view that `` Society should treat all equally well who have deserved equally well of it , that is , who have deserved equally well absolutely . This is the highest abstract standard of social and distributive justice ; towards which all institutions , and the efforts of all virtuous citizens , should be made in the utmost degree to converge .

+ When the National Anthem was first recognized by law in 1932 , there was no prescription as to behavior during its playing . On June 22 , 1942 , the law was revised indicating that those in uniform should salute during its playing , while others should simply stand at attention , men removing their hats . ( The same code also required that women should place their hands over their hearts when the flag is displayed during the playing of the Anthem , but not if the flag was not present . ) On December 23 , 1942 the law was again revised instructing men and women to stand at attention and face in the direction of the music when it was played . That revision also directed men and women to place their hands over their hearts only if the flag was displayed . Those in uniform were required to salute . On July 7 , 1976 , the law was simplified . Men and women were instructed to stand with their hands over their hearts , men removing their hats , irrespective of whether or not the flag was displayed and those in uniform saluting . On August 12 , 1998 , the law was rewritten keeping the same instructions , but differentiating between `` those in uniform '' and `` members of the Armed Forces and veterans '' who were both instructed to salute during the playing whether or not the flag was displayed . Because of the changes in law over the years and confusion between instructions for the Pledge of Allegence versus the National Anthem , throughout most of the 20th century many people simply stood at attention or with their hands folded in front of them during the playing of the Anthem , and when reciting the Pledge they would hold their hand ( or hat ) over their heart . After 9 / 11 , the custom of placing the hand over the heart during the playing of the Anthem became nearly universal .

+ While the concept of social justice can be traced through the theology of Augustine of Hippo and the philosophy of Thomas Paine , the term `` social justice '' became used explicitly from the 1840s . A Jesuit priest named Luigi Taparelli is typically credited with coining the term , and it spread during the revolutions of 1848 with the work of Antonio Rosmini - Serbati . In the late industrial revolution , progressive American legal scholars began to use the term more , particularly Louis Brandeis and Roscoe Pound . From the early 20th century it was also embedded in international law and institutions ; the preamble to establish the International Labour Organization recalled that `` universal and lasting peace can be established only if it is based upon social justice . '' In the later 20th century , social justice was made central to the philosophy of the social contract , primarily by John Rawls in A Theory of Justice ( 1971 ) . In 1993 , the Vienna Declaration and Programme of Action treats social justice as a purpose of human rights education .

+ Mendel worked with seven characteristics of pea plants : plant height , pod shape and color , seed shape and color , and flower position and color . Taking seed color as an example , Mendel showed that when a true - breeding yellow pea and a true - breeding green pea were cross-bred their offspring always produced yellow seeds . However , in the next generation , the green peas reappeared at a ratio of 1 green to 3 yellow . To explain this phenomenon , Mendel coined the terms `` recessive '' and `` dominant '' in reference to certain traits . ( In the preceding example , the green trait , which seems to have vanished in the first filial generation , is recessive and the yellow is dominant . ) He published his work in 1866 , demonstrating the actions of invisible `` factors '' -- now called genes -- in predictably determining the traits of an organism .

Remak published observations in 1852 on cell division , claiming Schleiden and Schawnn were incorrect about generation schemes . He instead said that binary fission , which was first introduced by Dumortier , was how reproduction of new animal cells were made . Once this tenet was added , the classical cell theory was complete .

+ Hydrogen peroxide is formed in human and animals as a short - lived product in biochemical processes and is toxic to cells . The toxicity is due to oxidation of proteins , membrane lipids and DNA by the peroxide ions . The class of biological enzymes called SOD ( superoxide dismutase ) is developed in nearly all living cells as an important antioxidant agent . They promote the disproportionation of superoxide into oxygen and hydrogen peroxide , which is then rapidly decomposed by the enzyme catalase to oxygen and water .

+ Khrushchev had become emboldened upon seeing US President John F. Kennedy 's youth and inexperience show as weakness against Khrushchev 's brutal , undiplomatic aggression . This feeling of miscalculation and failure is admitted by Kennedy in the U.S. ambassador 's residence with New York Times columnist James `` Scotty '' Reston . Kennedy made the regrettable error of admitting that the US would not actively oppose this action in the Soviet sector of Berlin . On Saturday , 12 August 1961 , the leaders of the GDR attended a garden party at a government guesthouse in Döllnsee , in a wooded area to the north of East Berlin . There Ulbricht signed the order to close the border and erect a wall .
+ The Climate of Venezuela is characterized for being tropical and isothermal as a result of its geographical location near the Equator , but because of the topography and the dominant wind direction , several climatic types occur which can be the same as found in temperate latitudes , and even polar regions . Latitude exerts little influence on the Venezuelan climate , but the altitude changes it dramatically , particularly the temperature , reaching values very different according to the presence of different thermal floors .
+ The Strait of Dover ( French : Pas de Calais ) , at the Channel 's eastern end , is its narrowest point , while its widest point lies between Lyme Bay and the Gulf of Saint Malo near its midpoint . It is relatively shallow , with an average depth of about 120 m ( 390 ft ) at its widest part , reducing to a depth of about 45 m ( 148 ft ) between Dover and Calais . Eastwards from there the adjoining North Sea reduces to about 26 m ( 85 ft ) in the Broad Fourteens where it lies over the watershed of the former land bridge between East Anglia and the Low Countries . It reaches a maximum depth of 180 m ( 590 ft ) in the submerged valley of Hurd 's Deep , 48 km ( 30 mi ) west - northwest of Guernsey . The eastern region along the French coast between Cherbourg and the mouth of the Seine river at Le Havre is frequently referred to as the Bay of the Seine ( French : Baie de Seine ) .
+ It has a half - life of 10.756 years and a maximum decay energy of 687 keV . It decays into stable , non-radioactive rubidium - 85 . Its most common decay ( 99.57 % ) is by beta particle emission with maximum energy of 687 keV and an average energy of 251 keV . The second most common decay ( 0.43 % ) is by beta particle emission ( maximum energy of 173 keV ) followed by gamma ray emission ( energy of 514 keV ) . Other decay modes have very small probabilities and emit less energetic gammas . There are 33 other known isotopes of krypton .
+ `` Every Light in the House '' is a song written by Kent Robbins and recorded by American country music artist Trace Adkins . It was released in August 1996 as the second single from his debut album Dreamin ' Out Loud .

+ The printing press was invented in the Holy Roman Empire by the German Johannes Gutenberg around 1440 , based on existing screw presses . Gutenberg , a goldsmith by profession , developed a printing system , by adapting existing technologies to printing purposes , as well as making inventions of his own . His newly devised hand mould made possible the precise and rapid creation of metal movable type in large quantities . Movable type had been hitherto unknown in Europe . In East Asia , where it was invented , the usefulness of movable type was limited by the complexity of the writing system and , without the hand mould , the production of sorts ( individual letters of type ) was slow . In Europe , the two inventions , the hand mould and the printing press , together drastically reduced the cost of printing books and other documents , particularly in short print runs .

+ Following World War II , Soviet leader Joseph Stalin headed a group of nations on his Western border , the Eastern Bloc , that then included Poland , Hungary and Czechoslovakia , which he wished to maintain alongside a weakened Soviet - controlled Germany . As early as 1945 , Stalin revealed to German communist leaders that he expected to slowly undermine the British position within the British occupation zone , that the United States would withdraw within a year or two , and that nothing would then stand in the way of a united communist Germany within the bloc .
+ The transcript of a telephone call between Nikita Khrushchev and Ulbricht on 1 August in the same year , suggests that the initiative for the construction of the Wall came from Khrushchev . However , other sources suggest that Khrushchev had initially been wary about building a wall , fearing negative Western reaction . What is beyond dispute , though , is that Ulbricht had pushed for a border closure for quite some time , arguing that East Germany 's very existence was at stake .

+ The water cycle , also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle , describes the continuous movement of water on , above and below the surface of the Earth . The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice , fresh water , saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables . The water moves from one reservoir to another , such as from river to ocean , or from the ocean to the atmosphere , by the physical processes of evaporation , condensation , precipitation , infiltration , surface runoff , and subsurface flow . In doing so , the water goes through different forms : liquid , solid ( ice ) and vapor .
+ Wonder is a 2017 American drama film directed by Stephen Chbosky and written by Jack Thorne , Steve Conrad , and Stephen Chbosky , based on the 2012 novel of the same name by R.J. Palacio . The film stars Julia Roberts , Owen Wilson , and Jacob Tremblay . The film follows a child with Treacher Collins syndrome trying to fit in . Wonder was released in the United States on November 17 , 2017 , by Lionsgate and has grossed over $248 million worldwide on a $20 million budget . At the 90th Academy Awards , the film was nominated for Best Makeup and Hairstyling .
+ The idea of a stored - program computer was already present in the design of J. Presper Eckert and John William Mauchly 's ENIAC , but was initially omitted so that it could be finished sooner . On June 30 , 1945 , before ENIAC was made , mathematician John von Neumann distributed the paper entitled First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC . It was the outline of a stored - program computer that would eventually be completed in August 1949 . EDVAC was designed to perform a certain number of instructions ( or operations ) of various types . Significantly , the programs written for EDVAC were to be stored in high - speed computer memory rather than specified by the physical wiring of the computer . This overcame a severe limitation of ENIAC , which was the considerable time and effort required to reconfigure the computer to perform a new task . With von Neumann 's design , the program that EDVAC ran could be changed simply by changing the contents of the memory . EDVAC , however , was not the first stored - program computer ; the Manchester Small - Scale Experimental Machine , a small prototype stored - program computer , ran its first program on 21 June 1948 and the Manchester Mark 1 ran its first program during the night of 16 -- 17 June 1949 .

+ The Stanley Hotel hosted the horror novelist Stephen King , serving as inspiration for the Overlook Hotel in his 1977 bestseller The Shining and its 1980 film adaption of the same name , as well as the location for the 1997 miniseries . Today , it includes a restaurant , spa , and bed - and - breakfast and provides guided tours which feature the history and alleged paranormal activity of the site .
+ In 1980 , The Shining became the basis for a film adaptation directed by Stanley Kubrick . Kubrick 's vision for the movie differed from King 's significantly in many ways , including the portrayal of the Overlook Hotel . The exteriors of Kubrick 's Overlook were supplied by the Timberline Lodge on the slopes of Mt . Hood in Oregon . Inspiration for the interior sets ( erected at Elstree Studios in England ) came from the 1927 Ahwahnee Hotel in Yosemite National Park . The management of the Timberline Lodge , fearful that guests would refuse to stay in their Room 217 if it were featured in a horror movie , insisted that Kubrick change the haunted room in the film to Room 237 .

+ The Battles of Saratoga ( September 19 and October 7 , 1777 ) marked the climax of the Saratoga campaign , giving a decisive victory to the Americans over the British in the American Revolutionary War . British General John Burgoyne led a large invasion army southward from Canada in the Champlain Valley , hoping to meet a similar British force marching northward from New York City and another British force marching eastward from Lake Ontario ; the southern and western forces never arrived , and Burgoyne was surrounded by American forces in upstate New York . He fought two small battles to break out which took place 18 days apart on the same ground , 9 miles ( 14 km ) south of Saratoga , New York . They both failed .

+ `` Rudolph , the Red - Nosed Reindeer '' is a song by songwriter Johnny Marks based on the 1939 story Rudolph the Red - Nosed Reindeer published by the Montgomery Ward Company . Gene Autry 's recording hit No. 1 on the U.S. charts the week of Christmas 1949 .
+ Each of the four listings of apostles in the New Testament ( Mark 3 : 13 -- 19 , Matthew 10 : 1 -- 4 , Luke 6 : 12 -- 16 , and Acts 1 : 13 ) indicate that all the apostles were men . The canonical gospels and the book of Acts give varying names of the twelve apostles . The list in the Gospel of Luke differs from Matthew and Mark at two points . It lists `` Judas the son of James '' instead of `` Thaddeus '' . ( For more information , see Jude the Apostle . ) Unlike the Synoptic Gospels , the Gospel of John does not offer a formal list of apostles . Although it refers to `` the Twelve '' ( John 6 : 67 -- 71 ) , the gospel does not present any elaboration of who these twelve actually were , and the author of the Gospel of John does not mention them all by name .

+ The Celsius scale , previously known as the centigrade scale , is a temperature scale used by the International System of Units ( SI ) . As an SI derived unit , it is used by all countries in the world , except the United States , Myanmar , and Liberia . It is named after the Swedish astronomer Anders Celsius ( 1701 -- 1744 ) , who developed a similar temperature scale . The degree Celsius ( symbol : ° C ) can refer to a specific temperature on the Celsius scale as well as a unit to indicate a temperature interval , a difference between two temperatures or an uncertainty . Before being renamed to honor Anders Celsius in 1948 , the unit was called centigrade , from the Latin centum , which means 100 , and gradus , which means steps .
+ In basketball , a turnover occurs when a team loses possession of the ball to the opposing team before a player takes a shot at his team 's basket . This can result from the ball being stolen , the player making mistakes such as stepping out of bounds , illegal screen , a double dribble , having a pass intercepted , throwing the ball out of bounds , three - second violation , five - second violation , or committing an error such as traveling , a shot clock violation , palming , a backcourt violation , or committing an offensive foul . A technical foul against a team that is in possession of the ball is a blatant example of a turnover , because the opponent is awarded a free throw in addition to possession of the ball .
+ Chlorofluorocarbons ( CFCs ) are fully halogenated paraffin hydrocarbons that contain only carbon , chlorine , and fluorine , produced as volatile derivative of methane , ethane , and propane . They are also commonly known by the DuPont brand name Freon . The most common representative is dichlorodifluoromethane ( R - 12 or Freon - 12 ) . Many CFCs have been widely used as refrigerants , propellants ( in aerosol applications ) , and solvents . Because CFCs contribute to ozone depletion in the upper atmosphere , the manufacture of such compounds has been phased out under the Montreal Protocol , and they are being replaced with other products such as hydrofluorocarbons ( HFCs ) ( e.g. , R - 410A ) and R - 134a .

+ LU Wolf is the mascot for the University . He was inspired by the coat - of - arms of St. Ignatius of Loyola , from whom Loyola derives its name , which depicts two wolves standing over a kettle .

+ However , reference to the harp as the arms of the king of Ireland can be found in one of the oldest medieval rolls of arms . The Wijnbergen Roll , a French roll of arms dating from c. 1280 and preserved in The Hague , Netherlands , attributed `` D'azure a la harpe d'or '' ( English : Blue with a harp of gold ) to the King of Ireland ( `` le Roi d'Irlande '' ) . The harp , traditionally associated with King David , was a rare charge on medieval rolls and only two arms with a harp are listed in a collection of 19 early rolls . Triangular devices appeared on medieval Irish coinage by kings John and Edward I in the 12th and 13th centuries . These devices may have been crude harps or it may be that the harp developed from the use of triangles to distinguish Irish coins . The idea of a harp being the arms of Ireland may have originated as a reference to a fictional character , le roi d'irelande , in the courtly legend cycle of Tristan . Alternatively , it may have derived from a celebrated 13th century bardic poem , Tabhroidh Chugam Cruit mo Riogh , dedicated to the Donnchadh Cairbreach O'Briain ( d . 1242 ) , a Gaelic King of Thomond .

+ On July 25 , 1898 , during the Spanish -- American War , Puerto Rico was invaded by the United States with a landing at Guánica . As an outcome of the war , the Jones -- Shafroth Act granted all the inhabitants of Puerto Rico U.S. citizenship in 1917 .

+ Despite warnings by Jeremiah and others of the pro-Babylonian party , Zedekiah revolted against Babylon and entered into an alliance with Pharaoh Hophra . Nebuchadnezzar returned , defeated the Egyptians , and again besieged Jerusalem , resulting in the city 's destruction in 587 BCE . Nebuchadnezzar destroyed the city wall and the Temple , together with the houses of the most important citizens . Zedekiah and his sons were captured , the sons were executed in front of Zedekiah , who was then blinded and taken to Babylon with many others ( Jer 52 : 10 -- 11 ) . Judah became a Babylonian province , called Yehud , putting an end to the independent Kingdom of Judah .

+ The song was written by Mitch Murray , who offered it to Adam Faith and Brian Poole but was turned down . George Martin of EMI decided to pick it up for the new group he was producing , the Beatles , as the A-side of their first record . The Beatles recorded the song but opposed releasing it , feeling that it did not fit their sound , but worked out changes from Murray 's demo - disc version . These included a new introduction , vocal harmony , an instrumental interlude , small lyric changes and removal of the half - step modulation for the last verse . They recorded the song in September , 1962 ; although Murray disliked their changes , the decision not to release the Beatles ' version was primarily a business one . `` Love Me Do '' was their first single instead . The recording was officially released in November 1995 on the Beatles retrospective Anthology 1 album .
+ The Child Benefit Bill was introduced in 1975 by Barbara Castle , introducing for the first time a universal payment , paid for each child , doubling the number of children within its scope .

It also features 50 other individual locations to explore , including atolls , sea forts , Mayan ruins , sugar plantations , and underwater shipwrecks , with a 60 / 40 balance between land and naval exploration . It has a more open world feel , with missions similar to those found in Assassin 's Creed , as well as fewer restrictions for the player . The world opens up sooner in the game , as opposed to Assassin 's Creed III , which had very scripted missions and did not give players freedom to explore until the game was well into its first act . The player will encounter jungles , forts , ruins , and small villages and the world is built to allow players much more freedom , such as allowing players to engage , board , and capture passing ships and swimming to nearby beaches in a seamless fashion . In addition , the hunting system has been retained from Assassin 's Creed III , allowing the player to hunt on land , and fish in the water , with resources gathered used to upgrade equipment .

The British Government now refuses to discuss sovereignty without the consent of the Gibraltarians .
+ Gibraltar , a British Overseas Territory , located at the southern tip of the Iberian Peninsula , is the subject of an irredentist territorial claim by Spain . It was captured in 1704 during the War of the Spanish Succession ( 1701 -- 1714 ) . The Spanish Crown formally ceded the territory in perpetuity to the British Crown in 1713 , under Article X of the Treaty of Utrecht . Spain later attempted to recapture the territory during the thirteenth siege ( 1727 ) and the Great siege ( 1779 -- 1783 ) . British sovereignty over Gibraltar was confirmed in later treaties signed in Seville ( 1729 ) and the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) .
+ Gibraltar was given the Gibraltar Constitution Order 2006 by Britain which established a form of government whereby the Governor of Gibraltar is responsible for the conduct of external affairs , defence , internal security and for certain appointments to public office , and the Government of Gibraltar is made responsible for all other matters . The UK believes that as an independent territory , recognised by the United Nations Gibraltar enjoys the individual and collective rights that are set out in the 2006 constitution and the right of self - determination . Spain disputes the legality of the constitution and claims that it does not change the position of Gibraltar as a colony of the UK with only the UK empowered to discuss Gibraltar matters on the international scene .

+ Inequality of opportunity was higher in the transition economies of Central and Eastern Europe and Central Asia than in some other developed economies in Western Europe ( except France , where inequality of opportunity was relatively high ) . The highest inequality of opportunity was found in the Balkans and Central Asia . In terms of legal regulations and access to education and health services , inequality of opportunity related to gender was low in Europe and Central Asia but medium to high in respect of labour practices , employment and entrepreneurship and in access to finance . In Central Asia women also experienced significant lack of access to health services , as was the case in Arab countries . While many transition economies performed well with respect to primary and secondary education , and matched that available in many other developed economies , they were weaker when it came to training and tertiary education .
+ The company received a Royal Charter from Queen Elizabeth I on 31 December 1600 , coming relatively late to trade in the Indies . Before them the Portuguese Estado da India had traded there for much of the 16th century and the first of half a dozen Dutch Companies sailed to trade there from 1595 , which amalgamated in March 1602 into the United East Indies Company ( VOC ) , which introduced the first permanent joint stock from 1612 ( meaning investment into shares did not need to be returned , but could be traded on a stock exchange ) . Wealthy merchants and aristocrats owned the EIC 's shares . Initially the government owned no shares and had only indirect control until 1657 when permanent joint stock was established .

+ The dermis or corium is a layer of skin between the epidermis ( with which it makes up the cutis ) and subcutaneous tissues , that primarily consists of dense irregular connective tissue and cushions the body from stress and strain . It is divided into two layers , the superficial area adjacent to the epidermis called the papillary region and a deep thicker area known as the reticular dermis . The dermis is tightly connected to the epidermis through a basement membrane . Structural components of the dermis are collagen , elastic fibers , and extrafibrillar matrix . It also contains mechanoreceptors that provide the sense of touch and thermoreceptors that provide the sense of heat . In addition , hair follicles , sweat glands , sebaceous glands , apocrine glands , lymphatic vessels and blood vessels are present in the dermis . Those blood vessels provide nourishment and waste removal for both dermal and epidermal cells .

+ The kudzu plant was introduced to the United States from Japan in 1876 at the Centennial Exposition in Philadelphia . Kudzu was introduced to the Southeast in 1883 at the New Orleans Exposition . The vine was widely marketed in the Southeast as an ornamental plant to be used to shade porches , and in the first half of the 20th century , kudzu was distributed as a high - protein content cattle fodder and as a cover plant to prevent soil erosion . It was cultivated by Civilian Conservation Corps workers as a solution for the erosion during the Dust Bowl . The Soil Erosion Service recommended the use of kudzu to help control erosion of slopes which led to the government - aided distribution of 85 million seedlings and government - funded plantings of kudzu which paid $19.75 per hectare . By 1946 , it was estimated that 1,200,000 hectares ( 3,000,000 acres ) of kudzu had been planted . When boll weevil infestations and the failure of cotton crops caused farmers to abandon their farms , kudzu plantings were left unattended . The climate and environment of the Southeastern United States allowed the kudzu to grow virtually unchecked . In 1953 the United States Department of Agriculture removed kudzu from a list of suggested cover plants and listed it as a weed in 1970 . By 1997 , the vine was placed on the `` Federal Noxious Weed List '' . Today , kudzu is estimated to cover 3,000,000 hectares ( 7,400,000 acres ) of land in the southeastern United States , mostly in Alabama , Georgia , Tennessee , Florida , North Carolina , South Carolina and Mississippi . It has been recorded in Nova Scotia , Canada , in Columbus , Ohio , and in all five boroughs of New York City .

+ The Siege of Yorktown , also known as the Battle of Yorktown , the Surrender at Yorktown , German Battle or the Siege of Little York , ending on October 19 , 1781 , at Yorktown , Virginia , was a decisive victory by a combined force of American Continental Army troops led by General George Washington and French Army troops led by the Comte de Rochambeau over a British Army commanded by British peer and Lieutenant General Charles Cornwallis . The culmination of the Yorktown campaign , the siege proved to be the last major land battle of the American Revolutionary War in the North American theater , as the surrender by Cornwallis , and the capture of both him and his army , prompted the British government to negotiate an end to the conflict . The battle boosted faltering American morale and revived French enthusiasm for the war , as well as undermining popular support for the conflict in Great Britain .
+ Continental drift is the movement of the Earth 's continents relative to each other , thus appearing to `` drift '' across the ocean bed . The speculation that continents might have ' drifted ' was first put forward by Abraham Ortelius in 1596 . The concept was independently and more fully developed by Alfred Wegener in 1912 , but his theory was rejected by some for lack of a mechanism ( though this was supplied later by Arthur Holmes ) . The idea of continental drift has been subsumed by the theory of plate tectonics , which explains how the continents move .
+ Spacewar ! is a space combat video game developed in 1962 by Steve Russell , in collaboration with Martin Graetz and Wayne Wiitanen , and programmed by Russell with assistance from others including Bob Saunders and Steve Piner .

+ Epidemiologists employ a range of study designs from the observational to experimental and generally categorized as descriptive , analytic ( aiming to further examine known associations or hypothesized relationships ) , and experimental ( a term often equated with clinical or community trials of treatments and other interventions ) . In observational studies , nature is allowed to `` take its course , '' as epidemiologists observe from the sidelines . Conversely , in experimental studies , the epidemiologist is the one in control of all of the factors entering a certain case study . Epidemiological studies are aimed , where possible , at revealing unbiased relationships between exposures such as alcohol or smoking , biological agents , stress , or chemicals to mortality or morbidity . The identification of causal relationships between these exposures and outcomes is an important aspect of epidemiology . Modern epidemiologists use informatics as a tool .
+ R / T is the performance marker used on Dodge automobiles since the 1960s ( much like Chevrolet Super Sport ) . R / T stands for Road / Track ( no `` and '' ) .

+ Plasmodesmata ( singular : plasmodesma ) are microscopic channels which traverse the cell walls of plant cells and some algal cells , enabling transport and communication between them . Plasmodesmata evolved independently in several lineages , and species that have these structures include members of the Charophyceae , Charales , Coleochaetales and Phaeophyceae ( which are all algae ) , as well as all embryophytes , better known as land plants . Unlike animal cells , almost every plant cell is surrounded by a polysaccharide cell wall . Neighbouring plant cells are therefore separated by a pair of cell walls and the intervening middle lamella , forming an extracellular domain known as the apoplast . Although cell walls are permeable to small soluble proteins and other solutes , plasmodesmata enable direct , regulated , symplastic transport of substances between cells . There are two forms of plasmodesmata : primary plasmodesmata , which are formed during cell division , and secondary plasmodesmata , which can form between mature cells .
+ The National Football League ( NFL ) on Thanksgiving Day is a traditional series of games played during the Thanksgiving holiday in the United States .

+ By late 1922 , the German defaults on payments had grown so regular that a crisis engulfed the Reparations Commission ; the French and Belgian delegates urged occupying the Ruhr as a way of forcing Germany to pay more , while the British delegate urged a lowering of the payments . As a consequence of a German default on timber deliveries in December 1922 , the Reparations Commission declared Germany in default , which led to the Franco - Belgian occupation of the Ruhr in January 1923 . Particularly galling to the French was that the timber quota the Germans defaulted on was based on an assessment of their capacity the Germans made themselves and subsequently lowered . The Allies believed that the government of Chancellor Wilhelm Cuno had defaulted on the timber deliveries deliberately as a way of testing the will of the Allies to enforce the treaty . The entire conflict was further exacerbated by a German default on coal deliveries in early January 1923 , which was the thirty - fourth coal default in the previous thirty - six months . The French Premier Raymond Poincaré was deeply reluctant to order the Ruhr occupation and took this step only after the British had rejected his proposals for non-military sanctions against Germany . Frustrated at Germany not paying reparations , Poincaré hoped for joint Anglo - French economic sanctions against Germany in 1922 and opposed military action . However , by December 1922 he was faced with Anglo - American - German opposition and saw coal for French steel production and payments in money as laid out in the Treaty of Versailles draining away . Poincaré was exasperated with British opposition , and wrote to the French ambassador in London :
+ The Occupation of the Ruhr ( German : Ruhrbesetzung ) was a period of military occupation of the German Ruhr valley by France and Belgium between 1923 and 1925 in response to the Weimar Republic 's failure to continue its reparation payments in the aftermath of World War I .
+ The Talmud has two components ; the Mishnah ( Hebrew : משנה , c. 200 CE ) , a written compendium of Rabbinic Judaism 's Oral Torah ; and the Gemara ( c. 500 CE ) , an elucidation of the Mishnah and related Tannaitic writings that often ventures onto other subjects and expounds broadly on the Hebrew Bible . `` Talmud '' translates literally as `` instruction '' in Hebrew , and the term may refer to either the Gemara alone , or the Mishnah and Gemara together .
+ Initiated by French Prime Minister Raymond Poincaré , the invasion took place on 11 January 1923 . General Alphonse Caron 's 32nd infantry corps under the supervision of General Jean - Marie Degoutte carried out the operation . Some theories state that the French aimed to occupy the centre of German coal , iron , and steel production in the Ruhr area valley simply to get the money . Some others state that France did it to ensure that the reparations were paid in goods , because the Mark was practically worthless because of hyperinflation that already existed at the end of 1922 . France had the iron ore and Germany had the coal . Each state wanted free access to the resource it was short of , as together these resources had far more value than separately . ( Eventually this problem was resolved in the post-World War II European Coal and Steel community . )

+ Meeting Sweet at The Bronze , Buffy offers a deal to Sweet : she will take the place of her sister if she ca n't kill him . When asked by Sweet what she thinks about life , Buffy gives her pessimistic take on its meaning ( `` Something to Sing About '' ) . When the others arrive , she divulges that Willow took her from heaven , and Willow reacts with horror at finding out what she 's done . Upon divulging this truth , Buffy gives up on singing and dances so frenetically that she begins to smoke -- on the verge of combusting as Sweet 's other victims have been shown to do -- until Spike stops her , telling her that the only way to go forward is to just keep living her life . Xander then reveals that he , not Dawn , called Sweet , hoping he would be shown a happy ending for his marriage plans . Sweet , after releasing Xander from the obligation to be Sweet 's `` bride '' , tells the group how much fun they have been ( `` What You Feel -- Reprise '' ) and disappears . The Scoobies realize that their relationships have been changed irreversibly by the secrets revealed in their songs ( `` Where Do We Go from Here ? '' ) .

+ The rebellion began on 10 May 1857 in the form of a mutiny of sepoys of the Company 's army in the garrison town of Meerut , 40 miles northeast of Delhi ( now Old Delhi ) . It then erupted into other mutinies and civilian rebellions chiefly in the upper Gangetic plain and central India , though incidents of revolt also occurred farther north and east . The rebellion posed a considerable threat to British power in that region , and was contained only with the rebels ' defeat in Gwalior on 20 June 1858 . On 1 November 1858 , the British granted amnesty to all rebels not involved in murder , though they did not declare the hostilities formally to have ended until 8 July 1859 .
+ From 1965 till 1981 , the award was given to the authors for their `` most outstanding work '' and consisted of a citation plaque , a cash prize of ₹ 1 lakh ( equivalent to ₹ 48 lakh or US $75,000 in 2017 ) , and a bronze replica of Saraswati , the Hindu goddess of knowledge and wisdom .

The rules were revised in subsequent years to consider only works published during the preceding twenty years , excluding the year for which the award was to be given and the cash prize was increased to ₹ 1.5 lakh ( equivalent to ₹ 22 lakh or US $34,000 in 2017 ) from 1981 .
+ Santiago Ramón y Cajal proposed that neurons are not continuous throughout the body , yet still communicate with each other , an idea known as the neuron doctrine . The word `` synapse '' -- from the Greek synapsis ( συνάψις ) , meaning `` conjunction '' , in turn from συνάπτεὶν ( συν ( `` together '' ) and ἅπτειν ( `` to fasten '' ) ) -- was introduced in 1897 by the English neurophysiologist Charles Sherrington in Michael Foster 's Textbook of Physiology . Sherrington struggled to find a good term that emphasized a union between two separate elements , and the actual term `` synapse '' was suggested by the English classical scholar Arthur Woollgar Verrall , a friend of Michael Foster . Some authors generalize the concept of the synapse to include the communication from a neuron to any other cell type , such as to a motor cell , although such non-neuronal contacts may be referred to as junctions ( a historically older term ) .

+ Gestalt psychology or gestaltism ( German : Gestalt ( ɡəˈʃtalt ) `` shape , form '' ) is a philosophy of mind of the Berlin School of experimental psychology . Gestalt psychology is an attempt to understand the laws behind the ability to acquire and maintain meaningful perceptions in an apparently chaotic world . The central principle of gestalt psychology is that the mind forms a global whole with self - organizing tendencies . The assumed physiological mechanisms on which Gestalt theory rests are poorly defined and support for their existence is lacking . The Gestalt theory of perception has been criticized as being descriptive of the end products of perception without providing much insight into the processes that lead to perception . In the introduction to a 2016 special issue of the journal Vision Research on Gestalt perception , the authors concluded that `` even though they study the same phenomena as earlier Gestaltists , there is little theoretical coherence . What happened to the Gestalt school that always aspired to provide a unified vision of psychology ? Perhaps there is , in fact , little that holds the classic phenomena of Gestalt psychology together . ''
+ `` Only in My Dreams '' is the debut single for American singer - songwriter - actress Debbie Gibson .

+ The origin and history of coffee dates back to the 10th century , and possibly earlier with a number of reports and legends surrounding its first use . The native ( undomesticated ) origin of coffee is thought to have been Ethiopia . The earliest substantiated evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree is from the 15th century , in the Sufi monasteries of Yemen . By the 16th century , it had reached the rest of the Middle East , South India ( Coorg ) , Persia , Turkey , Horn of Africa , and northern Africa . Coffee then spread to the Balkans , Italy and to the rest of Europe , to South East Asia and then to America .
+ The Roman Empire ( Latin : Imperium Rōmānum , Classical Latin : ( ɪmˈpɛ. ri. ũː roːˈmaː. nũː ) ; Koine and Medieval Greek : Βασιλεία τῶν Ῥωμαίων , tr . Basileia tōn Rhōmaiōn ) was the post-Roman Republic period of the ancient Roman civilization , characterized by government headed by emperors and large territorial holdings around the Mediterranean Sea in Europe , Africa and Asia . The city of Rome was the largest city in the world c. 100 BC -- c . AD 400 , with Constantinople ( New Rome ) becoming the largest around AD 500 , and the Empire 's populace grew to an estimated 50 to 90 million inhabitants ( roughly 20 % of the world 's population at the time ) . The 500 - year - old republic which preceded it was severely destabilized in a series of civil wars and political conflict , during which Julius Caesar was appointed as perpetual dictator and then assassinated in 44 BC . Civil wars and executions continued , culminating in the victory of Octavian , Caesar 's adopted son , over Mark Antony and Cleopatra at the Battle of Actium in 31 BC and the annexation of Egypt . Octavian 's power was then unassailable and in 27 BC the Roman Senate formally granted him overarching power and the new title Augustus , effectively marking the end of the Roman Republic .

+ Long John Silver is a cunning and opportunistic pirate who was quartermaster under the notorious Captain Flint . Long John Silver had a pet parrot called Captain Flint , often seen sitting on his shoulder where she would nibble on seeds . Silver claims to have served in the Royal Navy and lost his leg under `` the immortal Hawke '' . `` His left leg was cut off close by the hip , and under the left shoulder , he carried a crutch , which he managed with wonderful dexterity , hopping about upon it like a bird . He was very tall and strong , with a face as big as a ham -- plain and pale , but intelligent and smiling . '' ( Treasure Island ( 1883 ) by Robert Louis Stevenson page 82 ) . He claims to have been the only man whom Flint ever feared . Like many of Stevenson 's characters , there is more than a modicum of duality in the character ; ostensibly Silver is a hardworking and likeable seaman , and it is only as the plot unfolds that his villainous nature is gradually revealed . His relationship with Jim Hawkins , the novel 's protagonist and narrator , is interesting , as he serves as a mentor and eventually father - figure to Jim , creating much shock and emotion when it is discovered that he is in charge of the mutiny , and especially when Jim must confront and fight him later on . Although willing to change sides at any time to further his own interests , Silver has compensating virtues : he is wise enough to pay attention to money management , in contrast to the spendthrift ways of most of the pirates , and is physically courageous despite his disability ; for instance , when Flint 's cache is found to be empty , he coolly stands his ground against five active seamen despite having only Jim , a boy in his teens , to back him .
+ Initially , the US stores were the result of natural expansion in Canada -- US border areas ( e.g. , stores in Maine and the Buffalo , New York area where Horton played from 1972 to 1974 as a member of the Buffalo Sabres ) . The first United States locations were opened in Deerfield Beach , Florida and Pompano Beach , Florida in 1981 , but they proved unsuccessful and were closed . In 1985 , the chain returned to the US with a location on Niagara Falls Boulevard in the Buffalo suburb of Amherst , New York . Starting in the mid-1990s , however , the chain began expanding in the US by acquiring former locations from fast food chains . In 1996 and 1997 , thirty - seven former Rax Restaurants locations in Ohio , Kentucky , and West Virginia were bought by Wendy 's International Inc. ; 30 of these were converted to Tim Hortons , while the others became Wendy 's franchise locations . Thirty - five closed Hardee 's stores in the Detroit area were also purchased with the intention of being converted . By 2004 , the chain had also acquired 42 Bess Eaton coffee and doughnut restaurants situated in southern New England . Several combination Wendy 's / Tim Hortons units were opened in the US ; both in the `` traditional '' markets of Maine and Buffalo , where there were well over 180 locations as of 2011 , and in the markets entered through acquisition .

+ Condensers are located above the light source and under the sample in an upright microscope , and above the stage and below the light source in an inverted microscope . They act to gather light from the microscope 's light source and concentrate it into a cone of light that illuminates the specimen . The aperture and angle of the light cone must be adjusted ( via the size of the diaphragm ) for each different objective lens with different numerical apertures .
+ The earliest credible evidence of either coffee drinking or knowledge of the coffee tree appears in the middle of the 15th century , in Yemen 's Sufi monasteries .
+ Development for both The Lightning Thief and the Percy Jackson series commenced when Rick Riordan began making stories for his son Haley Riordan , who had at the time been diagnosed with ADHD and dyslexia . His son , Haley , had been studying Greek mythology in second grade and requested that his father tell him bedtime stories based on Greek myths . When Riordan ran out of myths , his son suggested that he make up new stories using existing mythological characters and new ones . This led Riordan to create the fictional character of Percy Jackson and create the story of how he travels across the United States to recover Zeus 's lightning - bolt . Haley suggested that he should turn that story into a book , and Riordan wrote the book over the next year despite being busy at that time .
+ The position of the Arctic Circle is not fixed ; as of 9 January 2018 , it runs 66 ° 33 ′ 47.0 '' north of the Equator . Its latitude depends on the Earth 's axial tilt , which fluctuates within a margin of 2 ° over a 40,000 - year period , due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon . Consequently , the Arctic Circle is currently drifting northwards at a speed of about 15 metres ( 49 feet ) per year .

+ In 1969 , to accommodate the growing number of reporters assigned to the White House , President Richard Nixon had the indoor swimming pool , which had been installed by the March of Dimes for Franklin D. Roosevelt , covered and turned into press offices and a lounge that could double as a briefing room .
+ `` Wah - Wah '' is a song by English musician George Harrison , released on his 1970 triple album All Things Must Pass . Harrison wrote the song following his temporary departure from the Beatles in January 1969 , during the troubled Get Back sessions that resulted in their Let It Be album and film . The lyrics reflect his frustration with the atmosphere in the group at that time -- namely , Paul McCartney 's over-assertiveness and criticism of his guitar playing , John Lennon 's lack of engagement with the project and dismissal of Harrison as a songwriter , and Yoko Ono 's constant involvement in the band 's activities . Music critics and biographers recognise the song as Harrison 's statement of personal and artistic freedom from the Beatles . Its creation contrasted sharply with his rewarding collaborations outside the group in the months before the Get Back project , particularly with Bob Dylan and the Band in upstate New York .
+ `` God Save the Queen '' ( alternatively `` God Save the King '' , depending on the gender of the reigning monarch ) is the national or royal anthem in a number of Commonwealth realms , their territories , and the British Crown Dependencies .

+ The Spanish conquest of the Inca Empire was one of the most important campaigns in the Spanish colonization of the Americas . After years of preliminary exploration and military skirmishes , 180 Spanish soldiers under conquistador Francisco Pizarro , his brothers , and their native allies captured the Sapa Inca Atahualpa in the 1532 Battle of Cajamarca . It was the first step in a long campaign that took decades of fighting but ended in Spanish victory in 1572 and colonization of the region as the Viceroyalty of Peru . The conquest of the Inca Empire ( called `` Tahuantinsuyu '' or `` Tawantinsuyu '' in Quechua , meaning `` Realm of the Four Parts '' ) , led to spin - off campaigns into present - day Chile and Colombia , as well as expeditions towards the Amazon Basin .
+ A flat - wick lamp is a simple type of kerosene lamp , which burns kerosene drawn up through a wick by capillary action . If this type of lamp is broken , it can easily start a fire . A flat - wick lamp has a fuel tank ( fount ) , with the lamp burner attached . Attached to the fuel tank , four prongs hold the glass chimney , which acts to prevent the flame from being blown out and enhances a thermally induced draft . The glass chimney needs a `` throat '' , or slight constriction , to create the proper draft for complete combustion of the fuel ; the draft carries more air ( oxygen ) past the flame , helping to produce a smokeless light , which is brighter than an open flame would produce .
+ Filming began in July 2010 in Vancouver , British Columbia . Filming also happened in San Francisco , California ( the primary setting of the film ) , and around Oahu , Hawaii , which doubled for the African jungle as the schedule and budget did not allow for location shooting in Africa .
+ The Continental Divide of the Americas ( also known as the Great Divide , the Continental Gulf of Division , or merely the Continental Divide ) is the principal , and largely mountainous , hydrological divide of the Americas . The Continental Divide extends from the Bering Strait to the Strait of Magellan , and separates the watersheds that drain into the Pacific Ocean from those river systems that drain into the Atlantic Ocean ( including those that drain into the Gulf of Mexico and the Caribbean Sea ) and , along the northernmost reaches of the Divide , those river systems that drain into the Arctic Ocean .

+ Fructose , or fruit sugar , is a simple ketonic monosaccharide found in many plants , where it is often bonded to glucose to form the disaccharide sucrose . It is one of the three dietary monosaccharides , along with glucose and galactose , that are absorbed directly into blood during digestion . Fructose was discovered by French chemist Augustin - Pierre Dubrunfaut in 1847 . The name `` fructose '' was coined in 1857 by the English chemist William Allen Miller . Pure , dry fructose is a sweet , white , odorless , crystalline solid , and is the most water - soluble of all the sugars . Fructose is found in honey , tree and vine fruits , flowers , berries , and most root vegetables .

+ The post translational modification of proinsulin to mature insulin only occurs in the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans . When proinsulin is transported through the Golgi apparatus the C - peptide is cleaved . This cleavage occurs with the aid of two endoproteases . Type I endoproteases , PC1 and PC3 , disrupt the C peptide - B chain connection . PC2 , a type II endoprotease , cleaves the C peptide - A chain bond . The resulting molecule , now mature insulin , is stored as a hexamer in secretory vesicles and is stabilized with Z n 2 + ( \ displaystyle Zn ^ ( 2 + ) ) molecules until it is secreted .
+ A rotation is a circular movement of an object around a center ( or point ) of rotation . A three - dimensional object can always be rotated around an infinite number of imaginary lines called rotation axes ( / ˈæksiːz / AK - seez ) . If the axis passes through the body 's center of mass , the body is said to rotate upon itself , or spin . A rotation about an external point , e.g. the Earth about the Sun , is called a revolution or orbital revolution , typically when it is produced by gravity . The axis is called a pole .
+ A rotation is simply a progressive radial orientation to a common point . That common point lies within the axis of that motion . The axis is 90 degrees perpendicular to the plane of the motion . If the axis of the rotation lies external of the body in question then the body is said to orbit . There is no fundamental difference between a `` rotation '' and an `` orbit '' and or `` spin '' . The key distinction is simply where the axis of the rotation lies , either within or outside of a body in question . This distinction can be demonstrated for both `` rigid '' and `` non rigid '' bodies .

+ The game features a full campaign story mode unlike 2015 's Battlefront . The game 's single player protagonist , Iden Versio , leader of an Imperial Special Forces group known as Inferno Squad , participates in multiple events in the 30 years leading up to The Force Awakens . There will be segments in the campaign where the player will be able to control other characters such as Luke Skywalker and Kylo Ren . Players can also play in arcade mode -- an offline single player or local co-op where players can choose which side to play on and which battle to play in . Battles vary from team battles to onslaughts . Alternatively , players can choose to do a custom match , where they can change some of the settings and location .
+ The type I error rate or significance level is the probability of rejecting the null hypothesis given that it is true .

+ Every person accused of a crime punishable by incarceration for more than six months has a constitutionally protected right to a trial by jury , which arises in federal court from Article Three of the United States Constitution , which states in part , `` The Trial of all Crimes ... shall be by Jury ; and such Trial shall be held in the State where the said Crimes shall have been committed . '' The right was expanded with the Sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution , which states in part , `` In all criminal prosecutions , the accused shall enjoy the right to a speedy and public trial , by an impartial jury of the state and district wherein the crime shall have been committed . '' Both provisions were made applicable to the states through the Fourteenth Amendment . Most states ' constitutions also grant the right of trial by jury in lesser criminal matters , though most have abrogated that right in offenses punishable by fine only . The Supreme Court has ruled that if imprisonment is for six months or less , trial by jury is not required , meaning a state may choose whether or not to permit trial by jury in such cases . Under the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure , if the defendant is entitled to a jury trial , he may waive his right to have a jury , but both the government ( prosecution ) and court must consent to the waiver . Several states require jury trials for all crimes , `` petty '' or not .

+ Louis XIII 's successor , Louis XIV , had a great interest in Versailles . He settled on the royal hunting lodge at Versailles , and over the following decades had it expanded into one of the largest palaces in the world . Beginning in 1661 , the architect Louis Le Vau , landscape architect André Le Nôtre , and painter - decorator Charles Lebrun began a detailed renovation and expansion of the château . This was done to fulfill Louis XIV 's desire to establish a new centre for the royal court . Following the Treaties of Nijmegen in 1678 , he began to gradually move the court to Versailles . The court was officially established there on 6 May 1682 .

+ Significant among Louis XV 's contributions to Versailles were the petit appartement du roi ; the appartements de Mesdames , the appartement du dauphin , the appartement de la dauphine on the ground floor ; and the two private apartments of Louis XV -- petit appartement du roi au deuxième étage ( later transformed into the appartement de Madame du Barry ) and the petit appartement du roi au troisième étage -- on the second and third floors of the palace . The crowning achievements of Louis XV 's reign were the construction of the Opéra and the Petit Trianon .
+ Players are currently inducted into the Hall of Fame through election by either the Baseball Writers ' Association of America ( or BBWAA ) , or the Veterans Committee , which now consists of four subcommittees , each of which considers and votes for candidates from a separate era of baseball . Five years after retirement , any player with 10 years of major league experience who passes a screening committee ( which removes from consideration players of clearly lesser qualification ) is eligible to be elected by BBWAA members with 10 years ' membership or more who also have been actively covering MLB at any time in the 10 years preceding the election ( the latter requirement was added for the 2016 election ) . From a final ballot typically including 25 -- 40 candidates , each writer may vote for up to 10 players ; until the late 1950s , voters were advised to cast votes for the maximum 10 candidates . Any player named on 75 % or more of all ballots cast is elected . A player who is named on fewer than 5 % of ballots is dropped from future elections . In some instances , the screening committee had restored their names to later ballots , but in the mid-1990s , dropped players were made permanently ineligible for Hall of Fame consideration , even by the Veterans Committee . A 2001 change in the election procedures restored the eligibility of these dropped players ; while their names will not appear on future BBWAA ballots , they may be considered by the Veterans Committee . Players receiving 5 % or more of the votes but fewer than 75 % are reconsidered annually until a maximum of ten years of eligibility ( lowered from fifteen years for the 2015 election ) .

+ Bitwise operations are contrasted by byte - level operations which characterize the bitwise operators ' logical counterparts , the AND , OR and NOT operators . Instead of performing on individual bits , byte - level operators perform on strings of eight bits ( known as bytes ) at a time . The reason for this is that a byte is normally the smallest unit of addressable memory ( i.e. data with a unique memory address . )

+ Canada 's Constitution Act , 1982 was signed into law by Elizabeth II as Queen of Canada on April 17 , 1982 on Parliament Hill in Ottawa . Queen Elizabeth 's constitutional powers over Canada were not affected by the Act , and she remains Queen and Head of State of Canada .

+ Following Bacon 's advice , the scientific search for the formal cause of things is now replaced by the search for `` laws of nature '' or `` laws of physics '' in all scientific thinking . To use Aristotle 's well - known terminology these are descriptions of efficient cause , and not formal cause or final cause . It means modern science limits its hypothesizing about non-physical things to the assumption that there are regularities to the ways of all things which do not change .

+ In A Christmas Carol , Marley is the first character mentioned in the first line of the story . Jacob Marley is said to have died seven years earlier on Christmas Eve ( as the setting is Christmas Eve 1843 , this would have made the date of his passing December 24 , 1836 ) .
+ The federal and state governments have traditionally cooperated to some extent to improve vital statistics . From 1900 to 1946 the U.S. Census Bureau designed standard birth certificates , collected vital statistics on a national basis , and generally sought to improve the accuracy of vital statistics . In 1946 that responsibility was passed to the U.S. Public Health Service . Unlike the British system of recording all births in `` registers '' , the states file an individual document for each and every birth .
+ The documentation of births is a practice widely held throughout human civilization , especially in China , Egypt , Greece , Rome , and Persia . The original purpose of vital statistics was for tax purposes and for the determination of available military manpower . In England , births were initially registered with churches , who maintained registers of births . This practice continued into the 19th century . The compulsory registration of births with the United Kingdom government is a practice that originated at least as far back as 1853 . The entire United States did not get a standardized system until 1902 .

+ Wake Forest is a town in Franklin and Wake counties in the U.S. state of North Carolina ; located almost entirely in Wake County , it lies just north of the state capital , Raleigh . The population was 30,117 at the 2010 census , up from 12,588 at the 2000 census . The U.S. Census Bureau estimates the city 's population to be 34,752 as of July 1 , 2013 . In 2007 , the town was listed by Forbes magazine as the 20th fastest growing suburb in America , with a 73.2 percent increase in population between 2000 and 2006 .

+ The most well - known version of the story is an award - winning 1933 Silly Symphony cartoon , which was produced by Walt Disney . The production cast the title characters as Fifer Pig , Fiddler Pig , and Practical Pig . The first two are depicted as both frivolous and arrogant . The story has been somewhat softened . The first two pigs still get their houses blown down , but escape from the wolf . Also , the wolf is not boiled to death but simply burns his behind and runs away . Three sequels soon followed in 1934 , 1936 and 1939 respectively .
+ A United States Navy enlisted rate indicates where an enlisted sailor stands within the chain of command , and also defines one 's pay grade . An enlisted sailor 's rate is similar conceptually to a naval officer 's rank . Only naval officers carry the term `` rank '' . The word rate refers to an enlisted sailor 's pay grade , while the word rating refers to one 's area of occupational specialization within the enlisted Navy . Associated with the enlisted pay grades is a numbering system from the most junior enlisted sailor ( `` E-1 '' ) to the most senior enlisted sailor ( `` E-9 '' ) . This enlisted numbering system is the same across all five branches of the U.S. military . All E-1 through E-3 are known as Seamen . E-4 through E-6 are called petty officers . All E-7s are called chief petty officer , E-8s senior chief petty officer , and E-9s master chief petty officer . Rates are displayed on a rating badge , which is a combination of rate and rating . E-2s and E-3s have color - coded group rate marks based on their career field . Personnel in pay grade E-1 , since 1996 , do not have an insignia to wear .
+ The Three Little Pigs was included in The Nursery Rhymes of England ( London and New York , c. 1886 ) , by James Halliwell - Phillipps . The story in its arguably best - known form appeared in English Fairy Tales by Joseph Jacobs , first published in 1890 and crediting Halliwell as his source . The story begins with the title characters being sent out into the world by their mother , to `` seek out their fortune '' . The first little pig builds a house of straw , but a wolf blows it down and devours him . The second little pig builds a house of sticks , which the wolf also blows down , and the second little pig is also devoured . Each exchange between wolf and pig features ringing proverbial phrases , namely :
+ The Treaty of Chaumont in 1814 had reaffirmed decisions that had been made already and that would be ratified by the more important Congress of Vienna of 1814 - 15 . They included the establishment of a confederated Germany , the division of Italy into independent states , the restoration of the Bourbon kings of Spain , and the enlargement of the Netherlands to include what in 1830 became modern Belgium . The Treaty of Chaumont became the cornerstone of the European Alliance that formed the balance of power for decades . Other partial settlements had already occurred at the Treaty of Paris between France and the Sixth Coalition , and the Treaty of Kiel that covered issues raised regarding Scandinavia . The Treaty of Paris had determined that a `` general congress '' should be held in Vienna and that invitations would be issued to `` all the Powers engaged on either side in the present war '' . The opening was scheduled for July 1814 .
+ The brand derives its name from the fact that the original brewery , which was established in 1857 by Lüder Rutenberg , was located next to the former St. Paul 's Friary ( de ) in Bremen . There are currently three brands of beer brewed : St. Pauli Girl Lager , St. Pauli Girl Special Dark and St. Pauli Non-Alcoholic Malt Beverage . The beer is only produced for export and is not sold in Germany .
+ This was the first impeachment of a President since creation of the office in 1789 . The culmination of a lengthy political battle between Johnson , a lifelong Democrat and the Republican majority in Congress over how best to deal with the defeated Southern states following the conclusion of the American Civil War , the impeachment , and the subsequent trial ( and acquittal ) of Johnson were among the most dramatic events in the political life of the nation during the Reconstruction Era . Together , they have gained a historical reputation as an act of political expedience , rather than necessity , which was based on Johnson 's defiance of an unconstitutional piece of legislation , and which was conducted with little regard for the will of a general public which , despite the unpopularity of Johnson , opposed the impeachment .

+ The plot of the film was inspired by the real - life story of David Hampton , a con man and robber who managed to convince a number of people in the 1980s that he was the son of actor Sidney Poitier . The writer John Guare was a friend of Inger McCabe Elliott and her husband Osborn Elliott . In October 1983 , Hampton came to the Elliott 's New York apartment and they allowed him to spend the night . The next morning , Inger found Hampton in bed with another man and later called the police . The Elliotts told Guare about the story and it inspired him to write the play years later .

+ Seth MacFarlane voices three of the show 's main characters : Peter Griffin , Brian Griffin , and Stewie Griffin . MacFarlane chose to voice these characters himself , believing it would be easier to portray the voices he had already envisioned than for someone else to attempt it . MacFarlane drew inspiration for the voice of Peter from a security guard he overheard talking while attending the Rhode Island School of Design . Stewie 's voice was based on the voice of English actor Rex Harrison , especially his performance in the 1964 musical drama film My Fair Lady . MacFarlane uses his own voice while portraying Brian .
+ The cup is an English unit of volume , most commonly associated with cooking and serving sizes . It is traditionally equal to half a liquid pint in either US customary units or the British imperial system but is now separately defined in terms of the metric system at values between ⁄ and ⁄ of a liter . Because actual drinking cups may differ greatly from the size of this unit , standard measuring cups are usually used instead .

The Impeachment of Andrew Johnson occurred in 1868 , when the United States House of Representatives resolved to impeach President Andrew Johnson , adopting eleven articles of impeachment detailing his `` high crimes and misdemeanors , '' in accordance with Article Two of the United States Constitution . The House 's primary charge against Johnson was violation of the Tenure of Office Act , passed by the U.S. Congress in March 1867 , over the president 's veto . Specifically , he had removed from office Edwin M. Stanton , the Secretary of War -- whom the Act was largely designed to protect -- and attempted to replace him with Brevet Major General Lorenzo Thomas ( Earlier , while Congress was not in session , Johnson had suspended Stanton and appointed General Ulysses S. Grant as secretary of war ad interim ) .

+ In 1983 , Richard Stallman , founder of the Free Software Foundation , set forth plans of a complete Unix - like operating system , called GNU , composed entirely of free software . In September of that year , Stallman published a manifesto in Dr. Dobb 's Journal detailing his new project publicly , outlining his vision of free software . Software development work began in January 1984 . By 1991 , the GNU mid-level portions of the operating system were almost complete , and the upper level could be supplied by the X Window System , but the lower level ( kernel , device drivers , system - level utilities and daemons ) was still mostly lacking . The GNU kernel was called GNU Hurd . The Hurd followed an ambitious design which proved unexpectedly difficult to implement and has only been marginally usable .
+ Because McVitie 's did not trademark the name `` Jaffa Cakes '' , other biscuit manufacturers and supermarkets have made similar products under the same name . The product 's classification as a cake or biscuit was part of a VAT tribunal in 1991 , with the court finding in McVitie 's favour that the Jaffa cake should be considered a cake for tax purposes . In 2012 they were ranked the best selling cake or biscuit in the United Kingdom .
+ The geopolitical divisions in Europe that created a concept of East and West originated in the Roman Empire . The Eastern Mediterranean was home to the highly urbanized cultures that had Greek as their common language ( owing to the older empire of Alexander the Great and of the Hellenistic successors ) , whereas the West was much more rural in its character and more readily adopted Latin as its common language . After the fall of the Western Roman Empire , Western and Central Europe were substantially cut off from the East where Byzantine Greek culture and Eastern Christianity became founding influences in the Arab / Muslim world and among the Eastern and Southern Slavic peoples . Roman Catholic Western and Central Europe , as such , maintained a distinct identity particularly as it began to redevelop during the Renaissance . Even following the Protestant Reformation , Protestant Europe continued to see itself as more tied to Roman Catholic Europe than other parts of the perceived civilized world .
+ This calendar era is based on the traditionally reckoned year of the conception or birth of Jesus of Nazareth , with AD counting years from the start of this epoch , and BC denoting years before the start of the era . There is no year zero in this scheme , so the year AD 1 immediately follows the year 1 BC . This dating system was devised in 525 by Dionysius Exiguus of Scythia Minor , but was not widely used until after 800 .
+ After Sara receives a call that she has won a spot on a television game show , she becomes excited about attending it . To fit back into her red dress , the favorite of her deceased husband Seymour 's , she attempts to lose weight through unsuccessful diets . At the recommendation of a friend , she visits an unscrupulous physician who prescribes her a regimen of weight - loss amphetamines . She begins losing weight , and is excited by how much energy she has .
+ Harry and Tyrone plan to sell heroin to make enough to live off ; that summer , their small - time dealing business thrives . Harry and Marion plan to open up a dress shop for Marion 's designs , and Tyrone dreams of escaping the ghetto to make his mother proud . Sara and her friends wait expectantly every day for the game show invitation to arrive . With the extra money , Harry stops by to tell his mother he ordered her a new television set , but when he implores her to get off the amphetamines , she confesses that the only thing she has to live for anymore is the dream of looking glamorous on a television stage , and the extra attention she receives now from her friends .

+ Prior to 1973 , mobile telephony was limited to phones installed in cars and other vehicles . Motorola was the first company to produce a handheld mobile phone . On April 3 , 1973 , Martin Cooper , a Motorola researcher and executive , made the first mobile telephone call from handheld subscriber equipment , placing a call to Dr. Joel S. Engel of Bell Labs , his rival . The prototype handheld phone used by Dr. Cooper weighed 1.1 kg ( 2.42 lb ) and measured 23 cm long , 13 cm deep and 4.45 cm wide . The prototype offered a talk time of just 30 minutes and took 10 hours to re-charge .

+ In astronomy , axial precession is a gravity - induced , slow , and continuous change in the orientation of an astronomical body 's rotational axis . In particular , it can refer to the gradual shift in the orientation of Earth 's axis of rotation , which , similar to a wobbling top , traces out a pair of cones joined at their apices in a cycle of approximately 26,000 years . The term `` precession '' typically refers only to this largest part of the motion ; other changes in the alignment of Earth 's axis -- nutation and polar motion -- are much smaller in magnitude .

+ Benzodiazepines enhance the effect of the neurotransmitter gamma - aminobutyric acid ( GABA ) at the GABA receptor , resulting in sedative , hypnotic ( sleep - inducing ) , anxiolytic ( anti-anxiety ) , anticonvulsant , and muscle relaxant properties . High doses of many shorter - acting benzodiazepines may also cause anterograde amnesia and dissociation . These properties make benzodiazepines useful in treating anxiety , insomnia , agitation , seizures , muscle spasms , alcohol withdrawal and as a premedication for medical or dental procedures . Benzodiazepines are categorized as either short - , intermediate - , or long - acting . Short - and intermediate - acting benzodiazepines are preferred for the treatment of insomnia ; longer - acting benzodiazepines are recommended for the treatment of anxiety .

+ Proponents of the term GNU / Linux note that GNU alone would be just as good a name for GNU variants which combine the GNU operating system software with software from other sources . GNU / Linux is a term promoted by the Free Software Foundation ( FSF ) and its founder Richard Stallman . Proponents call for the correction of the more extended term , on the grounds that it does n't give credit to the major contributor and the associated free software philosophy . GNU is a longstanding project begun in 1984 to develop a free operating system . It is argued that when the Linux kernel was independently created in 1991 , it merely provided a substantial missing piece . Several distributions employ the FSF - endorsed name , such as Debian , Trisquel and Parabola GNU / Linux - libre .

+- Benzodiazepines are effective as medication given a couple of hours before surgery to relieve anxiety . They also produce amnesia , which can be useful , as patients may not remember unpleasantness from the procedure . They are also used in patients with dental phobia as well as some ophthalmic procedures like refractive surgery ; although such use is controversial and only recommended for those who are very anxious . Midazolam is the most commonly prescribed for this use because of its strong sedative actions and fast recovery time , as well as its water solubility , which reduces pain upon injection . Diazepam and lorazepam are sometimes used . Lorazepam has particularly marked amnesic properties that may make it more effective when amnesia is the desired effect .

+ According to European folklore , the stork is responsible for bringing babies to new parents . The legend is very ancient , but was popularised by a 19th - century Hans Christian Andersen story called The Storks . German folklore held that storks found babies in caves or marshes and brought them to households in a basket on their backs or held in their beaks . These caves contained adebarsteine or `` stork stones '' . The babies would then be given to the mother or dropped down the chimney . Households would notify when they wanted children by placing sweets for the stork on the window sill . From there the folklore has spread around the world to the Philippines and countries in South America . Birthmarks on the back of the head of newborn baby , nevus flammeus nuchae , are sometimes referred to as stork - bite .

+ In a referendum on 23 June 2016 , 51.9 % of the participating UK electorate voted to leave the EU , out of a turnout of 72.2 % . On 29 March 2017 , the UK government invoked Article 50 of the Treaty on the European Union . The UK is thus due to leave the EU at midnight on 30 March 2019 Central European Time ( 11 pm on 29 March 2019 GMT ) .
+ Hemostasis or haemostasis is a process which causes bleeding to stop , meaning to keep blood within a damaged blood vessel ( the opposite of hemostasis is hemorrhage ) . It is the first stage of wound healing . This involves coagulation , blood changing from a liquid to a gel . Intact blood vessels are central to moderating blood 's tendency to form clots . The endothelial cells of intact vessels prevent blood clotting with a heparin - like molecule and thrombomodulin and prevent platelet aggregation with nitric oxide and prostacyclin . When endothelial injury occurs , the endothelial cells stop secretion of coagulation and aggregation inhibitors and instead secrete von Willebrand factor which initiate the maintenance of hemostasis after injury . Hemostasis has three major steps : 1 ) vasoconstriction , 2 ) temporary blockage of a break by a platelet plug , and 3 ) blood coagulation , or formation of a fibrin clot . These processes seal the hole until tissues are repaired .
+ Since 2010 , Burj Khalifa has been the tallest building by any criteria . It has the highest architectural element , tip and occupied floor , and is indeed the tallest structure of any kind ever built , surpassing the ( now destroyed ) 646.38 metres ( 2,120.7 ft ) Warsaw Radio Mast .

+ Code talkers are people in the 20th century who used obscure languages as a means of secret communication during wartime . The term is now usually associated with the United States service members during the world wars who used their knowledge of Native American languages as a basis to transmit coded messages . In particular , there were approximately 400 -- 500 Native Americans in the United States Marine Corps whose primary job was the transmission of secret tactical messages . Code talkers transmitted these messages over military telephone or radio communications nets using formal or informally developed codes built upon their native languages . Their service improved the speed of encryption of communications at both ends in front line operations during World War II .

+ In traditional Western notation , the scale used for a composition is usually indicated by a key signature at the beginning to designate the pitches that make up that scale . As the music progresses , the pitches used may change and introduce a different scale . Music can be transposed from one scale to another for various purposes , often to accommodate the range of a vocalist . Such transposition raises or lowers the overall pitch range , but preserves the intervallic relationships of the original scale . For example , transposition from the key of C major to D major raises all pitches of the scale of C major equally by a whole tone . Since the interval relationships remain unchanged , transposition may be unnoticed by a listener , however other qualities may change noticeably because transposition changes the relationship of the overall pitch range compared to the range of the instruments or voices that perform the music . This often affects the music 's overall sound , as well as having technical implications for the performers .

+ In the spring of 1609 , John Smith cited the aphorism to the colonists of Jamestown :
+ Nepal is a secular state under the Interim Constitution , which was promulgated on January 15 , 2007 . The Interim Constitution provides for freedom to practice one 's religion . The Interim Constitution also specifically denies the right to convert another person . The now - defunct constitution of 1990 , which was in effect until January 15 , 2007 , described the country as a `` Hindu Kingdom , '' although it did not establish Hinduism as the state religion . The Government generally did not interfere with the practice of other religious groups , and religious tolerance was broadly observed ; however , there were some restrictions .
+ He who does not work , neither shall he eat is a New Testament aphorism originally by Paul the Apostle , later cited by John Smith in Jamestown , Virginia , and by Lenin during the Russian Revolution .
+ Tiffany Adams Coyne ( born May 6 , 1982 ) is an American model and dancer . She is the model on Let 's Make a Deal , having replaced Alison Fiori in 2009 .
+ In humans , a diurnal variation has been observed dependent on the periods of rest and activity , lowest at 11 p.m. to 3 a.m. and peaking at 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monkeys also have a well - marked and regular diurnal variation of body temperature that follows periods of rest and activity , and is not dependent on the incidence of day and night ; nocturnal monkeys reach their highest body temperature at night and lowest during the day . Sutherland Simpson and J.J. Galbraith observed that all nocturnal animals and birds -- whose periods of rest and activity are naturally reversed through habit and not from outside interference -- experience their highest temperature during the natural period of activity ( night ) and lowest during the period of rest ( day ) . Those diurnal temperatures can be reversed by reversing their daily routine .
+ Montana is one of the nine Mountain States , located in the north of the region known as the Western United States . It borders North Dakota and South Dakota to the east . Wyoming is to the south , Idaho is to the west and southwest , and three Canadian provinces , British Columbia , Alberta , and Saskatchewan , are to the north .
+ Parietal cells ( also known as oxyntic or delomorphous cells ) , are the epithelial cells that secrete hydrochloric acid ( HCl ) and intrinsic factor . These cells are located in the gastric glands found in the lining of the fundus and in the body of the stomach . They contain an extensive secretory network ( called canaliculi ) from which the HCl is secreted by active transport into the stomach . The enzyme hydrogen potassium ATPase ( H / K ATPase ) is unique to the parietal cells and transports the H against a concentration gradient of about 3 million to 1 , which is the steepest ion gradient formed in the human body . Parietal cells are primarily regulated via histamine , acetylcholine and gastrin signaling from both central and local modulators ( see ' Regulation ' ) .

+ Upon its release on December 19 , 1997 , Titanic achieved critical and commercial success . Nominated for 14 Academy Awards , it tied All About Eve ( 1950 ) for the most Oscar nominations , and won 11 , including the awards for Best Picture and Best Director , tying Ben Hur ( 1959 ) for the most Oscars won by a single film . With an initial worldwide gross of over $1.84 billion , Titanic was the first film to reach the billion - dollar mark . It remained the highest - grossing film of all time until Cameron 's Avatar surpassed it in 2010 . A 3D version of Titanic , released on April 4 , 2012 to commemorate the centennial of the sinking , earned it an additional $343.6 million worldwide , pushing the film 's worldwide total to $2.18 billion and making it the second film to gross more than $2 billion worldwide ( after Avatar ) . In 2017 , the film was re-released for its 20th anniversary and was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry .
+ During the Roman Republic the citizens would elect almost all officeholders annually . Popular elections for high office were largely undermined and then brought to an end by Augustus ( r . 27 BC - 14 AD ) , the first Roman emperor ( earlier known as Octavian ) . However , Roman elections continued at the local , municipal level .
+ Blood alcohol concentration is usually expressed as a percentage of ethanol in the blood in units of mass of alcohol per volume of blood or mass of alcohol per mass of blood , depending on the country . For instance , in North America a BAC of 0.1 ( 0.1 % or one tenth of one percent ) means that there are 0.10 g of alcohol for every 100 mL of blood .
+ One unknown is how the Romans kept track of who was eligible to vote . Debates over the franchise were frequent , and differentiating voters from non-voters must have been done . One possibility is that as voters gathered as a tribe the members would be well known enough to each other that an outsider could be spotted , but as populations grew this would have been difficult . Historians have proposed that a central voters list was kept or that citizens were given some form of voter identification , but no sources or archaeological evidence survives for either .
+ The euro sign ( € ) is the currency sign used for the euro , the official currency of the Eurozone in the European Union ( EU ) . The design was presented to the public by the European Commission on 12 December 1996 . The international three - letter code ( according to ISO standard ISO 4217 ) for the euro is EUR . In Unicode it is encoded at U + 20AC € euro sign ( HTML & # 8364 ; &euro ; ) . In English , the sign precedes the value ( for instance , € 10 , not 10 € ) . In some style guides , but not others , the euro sign is unspaced .
+ Checks and balances is the principle that each of the Branches has the power to limit or check the other two and this creates a balance between the three separate powers of the state , this principle induces that the ambitions of one branch prevent that one of the other branches become supreme , and thus be eternally confronting each other and in that process leaving the people free from government abuses . Checks and Balances are designed to maintain the system of separation of powers keeping each branch in its place . This is based on the idea that it is not enough to separate the powers and guarantee their independence but to give the various branches the constitutional means to defend their own legitimate powers from the encroachments of the other branches . They guarantee that the powers of the State have the same weight ( co-equal ) , that is , to be balanced , so that they can limit each other , avoiding the abuse of state power . the origin of checks and balances , like separation of powers itself , is specifically credited to Montesquieu in the Enlightenment ( in The Spirit of the Laws , 1748 ) , under this influence was implemented in 1787 in the Constitution of the United States .

+ In Greek mythology , Icarus ( the Latin spelling , conventionally adopted in English ; Ancient Greek : Ἴκαρος , Íkaros , Etruscan : Vikare ) is the son of the master craftsman Daedalus , the creator of the Labyrinth . Often depicted in art , Icarus and his father attempt to escape from Crete by means of wings that his father constructed from feathers and wax . Icarus ' father warns him first of complacency and then of hubris , asking that he fly neither too low nor too high , so the sea 's dampness would not clog his wings or the sun 's heat melt them . Icarus ignored his father 's instructions not to fly too close to the sun ; when the wax in his wings melted he tumbled out of the sky and fell into the sea where he drowned .
+ `` Rapper 's Delight '' is a 1979 hip hop track by the Sugarhill Gang and produced by Sylvia Robinson .

+ The film 's elevation to the status of a beloved classic came decades after its initial release , when it became a television staple during Christmas season in the late 1970s . This came as a welcome surprise to Frank Capra and others involved with its production . `` It 's the damnedest thing I 've ever seen , '' Capra told The Wall Street Journal in 1984 . `` The film has a life of its own now , and I can look at it like I had nothing to do with it .

I just liked the idea . '' In a 1946 interview , Capra described the film 's theme as `` the individual 's belief in himself '' and that he made it `` to combat a modern trend toward atheism '' .

+ The term prime minister in its French form , premier ministre , is attested in 17th Century sources referring to Cardinal Richelieu after he was named to head the royal council in 1624 . The title was however informal and used alongside the equally informal principal ministre d'État ( `` chief minister of the state '' ) more as a job description .

+ The term prime minister in the sense that we know it originated in the 18th century in the United Kingdom when members of parliament disparagingly used the title in reference to Sir Robert Walpole . During the whole of the 18th Century , Britain was involved in a prolonged conflict with France , periodically bursting into all - out war , and Britons took outspoken pride in their `` Liberty '' as contrasted to the `` Tyranny '' of French Absolute Monarchy ; therefore , being implicitly compared with Richelieu was no compliment to Walpole . Over time , however , the title became honorific and remains so in the 21st century .

+ Stephanie Judith Tanner ( portrayed by Jodie Sweetin ) is the witty , sarcastic middle child of Danny and Pam , the younger sister of D.J. , and the older sister of Michelle . Her mother died when she was five years old . Her catchphrases during the early seasons of the series include `` how rude ! , '' `` well , pin a rose on your nose ! '' and `` hot dog '' . She eventually evolved into something of a tomboy in seasons four and five . Stephanie has a habit of spying on D.J. 's life by reading her diary and eavesdropping on her telephone calls ( having been caught in the act several times ) , and is generally the most athletic and nosiest of the Tanner girls . Her best friends in school are Gia Mahan and Mickey , whom she meets in season seven ( the former is the only one who appears through to season eight ) . Of the three sisters , Stephanie has dealt with the toughest issues , such as peer pressure into smoking ( in season seven 's `` Fast Friends '' ) , `` make - out '' parties ( in season eight 's `` Making Out is Hard to Do '' ) , joyriding ( in season eight 's `` Stephanie 's Wild Ride '' ) , and uncovering a classmate 's child abuse ( in season six 's `` Silence is Not Golden '' ) , as well as the death of her mother when she was only five .

+ Interphase is the phase of the cell cycle in which a typical cell spends most of its life . During this phase , the cell copies its DNA in preparation for mitosis . Interphase is the ' daily living ' or metabolic phase of the cell , in which the cell obtains nutrients and metabolizes them , grows , reads its DNA , and conducts other `` normal '' cell functions . The majority of eukaryotic cells spend most of their time in interphase . This phase was formerly called the resting phase . However , interphase does not describe a cell that is merely resting ; rather , the cell is living , and preparing for later cell division , so the name was changed . A common misconception is that interphase is the first stage of mitosis . However , since mitosis is the division of the nucleus , prophase is actually the first stage .

+ Cellular respiration ( both aerobic and anaerobic ) utilizes highly reduced chemical compounds such as NADH and FADH2 ( for example produced during glycolysis and the citric acid cycle ) to establish an electrochemical gradient ( often a proton gradient ) across a membrane , resulting in an electrical potential or ion concentration difference across the membrane . The reduced chemical compounds are oxidized by a series of respiratory integral membrane proteins with sequentially increasing reduction potentials with the final electron acceptor being oxygen ( in aerobic respiration ) or another chemical substance ( in anaerobic respiration ) . A proton motive force drives protons down the gradient ( across the membrane ) through the proton channel of ATP synthase . The resulting current drives ATP synthesis from ADP and inorganic phosphate .

+ It is generally accepted that sustainable gray wolf packs had been extirpated from Yellowstone National Park by 1926 , although the National Park Service maintained its policies of predator control in the park until 1933 . However , a 1975 -- 77 National Park Service sponsored study revealed that during the period 1927 to 1977 , there were several hundred probable sightings of wolves in the park .

+ In April 1775 , Paul Revere told three Boston patriots to hang two lanterns in the steeple . These men were the church sexton Robert Newman and Captain John Pulling -- the two of whom historian David Hackett Fischer suggests each carried one lantern up to the steeple -- as well as Thomas Bernard , who stood watch for British troops outside the church . The lanterns were displayed to send a warning to Charlestown patriots across the Charles River about the movements of the British Army . Revere and William Dawes would later deliver the same message to Lexington themselves , but this lantern method was a fast way to inform the back - up riders in Charlestown about the movements of the British ; these back - up riders planned to deliver the warning message to Lexington and Concord in case Revere and Dawes were arrested on the way .

+ Hellenic polytheists worship the ancient Greek Gods , including the Olympians , nature divinities , underworld deities ( chthonic gods ) and heroes . Both physical and spiritual ancestors are honored . It is primarily a devotional or votive religion , based on the exchange of gifts ( offerings ) for the gods ' blessings . The ethical convictions of modern Hellenic polytheists are often inspired by ancient Greek virtues such as reciprocity , hospitality , self - control and moderation . The Delphic maxims , Tenets of Solon , the Golden Verses of Pythagoras , or even Aristotle 's Ethics each function as complete moral codes that a Hellenic Polytheist may observe . Key to most ethical systems is the idea of kharis ( or `` charis '' , grace ) , to establish reciprocity between humanity and the gods , between individuals , and among community members . Another key value in Hellenic Polytheism is eusebeia , often translated as piety . This implies a commitment to the worship of the Hellenic gods and action to back this up .

+ In the United States , the Hellenic polytheist organization Hellenion also identifies its practices as `` Hellenic Pagan Reconstructionism '' and emphasizes historical accuracy in its mission statement . The group uses the term `` Hellenismos '' ( Ἑλληνισμός , Hellēnismós ) to describe the religion . Hellenion does not provide official membership numbers to the public , but an unofficial estimate of 43 members can be determined for 2007 , though this number can only give the roughest approximation , as Hellenion offers hardship waivers to those who can not afford the typical membership fees . In early 2010 , the organization reported 1 demos ( fully chartered local congregation ) and 6 proto - demoi ( start - up congregations not fully chartered with less than 3 members ) established , which offer rituals and other events for members and frequently for the public as well . Two of the six proto - demoi can not be independently verified to exist . Hellenion offers legal clergy training , basic adult religious education classes , and other educational / training courses for its members .
+ There are no official naming practices for this religion , but there does seem to be an informal naming convention , based on academically accepted descriptive definitions , adhered to by groups and most individual believers . Hellenism is the most common term , used chiefly as an identifier for the modern polytheistic religion by its adherents today but it can also refer to the ancient Greek religion and culture . The term originally stems from a systematization and revival of Greek religion done by the Roman Emperor Julian . Julian used the term to describe traditional religion of the Greeks ( the word can also have other unrelated meanings in modern Greek ) . Additionally , subgroups use a variety of names to distinguish branches focusing on specific schools of thought , or modern traditions focusing on the public practices of individual city - states . These subgroups can be described as denominations . Hellenic religion , and Hellenic polytheism can be said to be used interchangeably to refer to the religion , and are synonymous . The phrase Hellenic Polytheistic Reconstructionism refers more to the methodology used by some practitioners to revive a version of the religion , than the religion itself . Not all Hellenic Polytheists are reconstructionists . Dodekatheism and Olympianism are other names , though less commonly used .

+ Lilium longiflorum is known as the Easter lily because in Christianity , it is a symbol of the resurrection of Christ , which is celebrated during Eastertide .

During a July 15 , 2007 interview for the National Public Radio program Just Roll Tape , Stills revealed that Collins was present in the studio when the demo tapes were recorded . Collins had advised Stills `` not to stay ( at the studio ) all night . '' Stills later commented that `` the breakup was imminent ... we were both too large for one house . '' Stills said that he liked parts of this demo version of `` Suite : Judy Blue Eyes '' better than the released version .

+ Urbanisation began in 1902 , when a railroad linking Los Angeles and Salt Lake City attracted many farmers to the area , and fresh water was piped into the settlement . In 1911 , the city was incorporated as part of Clark County . In 1931 work started on the Boulder Dam ( now the Hoover Dam ) , bringing a huge influx of young male workers , for whom theatres and casinos were built , largely by the Mafia . Electricity from the dam also enabled the building of many new hotels along the Strip . The arrival of Howard Hughes in 1966 did much to offset mob influence , and helped turn Las Vegas into more of a family tourist centre , now classified as a Megaresort .

+ The highest paid player in Major League Baseball ( MLB ) from the 2013 season is New York Yankees ' third baseman Alex Rodriguez with an annual salary of $29,000,000 , $4 million higher than the second - highest paid player , Cliff Lee . MLB does not have a hard salary cap , instead employing a luxury tax which applies to teams whose total payroll exceeds certain set thresholds for a given season . Free agency did not exist in MLB prior to the end of the reserve clause in the 1970s , allowing owners before that time to wholly dictate the terms of player negotiations and resulting in significantly lower salaries . Babe Ruth , widely regarded as one of the greatest baseball players ever , earned an estimated $910,696 ( $14,341,967 inflation - adjusted from 1931 dollars ) over his entire playing career . When asked whether he thought he deserved to earn $80,000 a year ( $1,146,932 inflation - adjusted ) , while the president , Herbert Hoover , had a $75,000 salary , Ruth famously remarked , `` What the hell has Hoover got to do with it ? Besides , I had a better year than he did . ''

+ The 2011 earthquake off the Pacific coast of Tōhoku ( 東北 地方 太平洋 沖 地震 , Tōhoku - chihō Taiheiyō Oki Jishin ) was a magnitude 9.0 -- 9.1 ( M ) undersea megathrust earthquake off the coast of Japan that occurred at 14 : 46 JST ( 05 : 46 UTC ) on Friday 11 March 2011 , with the epicentre approximately 70 kilometres ( 43 mi ) east of the Oshika Peninsula of Tōhoku and the hypocenter at an underwater depth of approximately 29 km ( 18 mi ) . The earthquake is often referred to in Japan as the Great East Japan Earthquake ( 東日本 大震災 , Higashi nihon daishinsai ) and is also known as the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake , and the 3.11 earthquake . It was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan , and the fourth most powerful earthquake in the world since modern record - keeping began in 1900 . The earthquake triggered powerful tsunami waves that reached heights of up to 40.5 metres ( 133 ft ) in Miyako in Tōhoku 's Iwate Prefecture , and which , in the Sendai area , traveled up to 10 km ( 6 mi ) inland . The earthquake moved Honshu ( the main island of Japan ) 2.4 m ( 8 ft ) east , shifted the Earth on its axis by estimates of between 10 cm ( 4 in ) and 25 cm ( 10 in ) , increased earth 's rotational speed by 1.8 μs per day , and generated infrasound waves detected in perturbations of the low - orbiting GOCE satellite . Initially , the earthquake caused sinking of part of Honshu 's Pacific coast by up to roughly a metre , but after about three years , the coast rose back and kept on rising to exceed the original height of the coast .

+ In the United States , there is no federal law regulating the practice of tattooing . However , all 50 states and the District of Columbia have statutory laws requiring a person receiving a tattoo be 18 years of age or older . This is partially based on the legal principle that a minor can not enter into a legal contract or otherwise render informed consent for a procedure . Most states permit a person under the age of 18 to receive a tattoo with permission of a parent or guardian , but some states outright prohibit tattooing under a certain age regardless of permission , with the exception of medical necessity ( such as markings placed for radiation therapy ) .

+ `` Lives '' serve as a mechanism to throttle how often new games can be started , and also provide an in - app revenue opportunity for the developer . Each time a player starts a game by pressing the New Game button , or accepts a Facebook friend 's request to play against them , they are charged a Life . A player can have as many lives as they wish , and as they spend lives , the game will automatically replenish one life every hour , provided they are below 5 lives , until the player returns to a full charge of 5 lives . A heart icon on the app 's main screen shows how many lives the player currently has , and if they have less than 5 , a timer will also display that ticks down in real time to show how long until the next replenishment . If the player runs out of lives , they must wait for replenishment before they can start any new games or approve a new game started against them by a Facebook friend . A player who does not want to wait can either request lives from their Facebook friends , or can buy lives through an in - app purchase .

+ Realizing that gambling would be profitable for local business , the Nevada state legislature legalized gambling at the local level in 1931 . Las Vegas , with a small but already well - established illegal gambling industry , was poised to begin its rise as the gaming capital of the world . The county issued the first gambling license in 1931 to the Northern Club , and soon other casinos were licensed on Fremont Street like the Las Vegas Club and the Apache Hotel . Fremont Street became the first paved street in Las Vegas and received the city 's first traffic light in 1931 .
+ The Committee on Rules , or ( more commonly ) Rules Committee , is a committee of the United States House of Representatives . Rather than being responsible for a specific area of policy , as most other committees are , it is in charge of determining under what rule other bills will come to the floor . As such , it is one of the most powerful committees and is often described as `` an arm of the leadership '' and as the `` traffic cop of Congress . '' A rule is a simple resolution of the House of Representatives , usually reported by the Committee on Rules , to permit the immediate consideration of a legislative measure , notwithstanding the usual order of business , and to prescribe conditions for its debate and amendment .
+ The cauda equina ( Latin for `` horse 's tail '' ) is a bundle of spinal nerves and spinal nerve rootlets , consisting of the second through fifth lumbar nerve pairs , the first through fifth sacral nerve pairs , and the coccygeal nerve , all of which arise from the lumbar enlargement and the conus medullaris of the spinal cord . The cauda equina occupies the lumbar cistern , a subarachnoid space inferior to the conus medullaris . The nerves that compose the cauda equina innervate the pelvic organs and lower limbs to include motor innervation of the hips , knees , ankles , feet , internal anal sphincter and external anal sphincter . In addition , the cauda equina extends to sensory innervation of the perineum and , partially , parasympathetic innervation of the bladder .
+ The Guantanamo Bay detention camp is a United States military prison located within Guantanamo Bay Naval Base , also referred to as Guantánamo or GTMO ( / ˈɡɪtmoʊ / ) , which is on the coast of Guantánamo Bay in Cuba . Since the inmates have been detained indefinitely without trial and several detainees have alleged torture , the operations of this camp are considered to be a major breach of human rights by Amnesty International .
+ In humans , the spinal cord stops growing in infancy and the end of the spinal cord is about the level of the third lumbar vertebra , or L3 , at birth . Because the bones of the vertebral column continue to grow , by about 12 months of age , the end of the cord reaches its permanent position at the level of L1 or L2 ( closer to the head ) . However , due to normal anatomical variations , the final cord end position may occur anywhere from T12 twelfth thoracic vertebra ( T12 ) to L3 . Individual spinal nerve roots arise from the cord as they get closer to the head , but as the differential growth occurs , the top end of the nerve stays attached to the spinal cord while the lower end of the nerve exits the spinal column at its proper level . This results in a `` bundle '' - like structure of nerve fibers that extends caudally from the end of the spinal cord , gradually declining in number further down as individual pairs leave the spinal column .

From this , the player can choose from three options : to jump - shoot , to dribble ( drive ) past the defender or to pass it to a teammate . There are also options to get the defender out of their defensive stance by using jab steps and pump fakes .

+ Ai n't Living Long Like This is the debut studio album by American country music singer - songwriter Rodney Crowell , released in 1978 by Warner Bros. Records . It failed to enter the Top Country Albums chart . The songs , `` Elvira '' , `` Baby Better Start Turnin ' ' Em Down '' and `` ( Now and Then , There 's ) A Fool Such as I '' were released as singles but they all failed to chart within the top 40 . Despite this , Ai n't Living Long Like This is considered one Crowell 's best and most influential albums . Brett Hartenbach of Allmusic says it `` not only showcases his songwriting prowess , but also his ability to deliver a song , whether it 's one of his own or the work of another writer '' . Most of the songs on this album were later covered by other artists including The Oak Ridge Boys and Alan Jackson . When the album was re-released in 2002 the font on the cover was enlarged to make it more legible .

This surgery attaches the vas deferens directly to the epididymis , the coiled tube on the back of each testicle where sperm matures . A vasectomy can cause blockages or a break in the vas deferens or the epididymis . This surgery is used when a vasovasostomy wo n't work because sperm flow is blocked . The vas deferens is connected to the epididymis above the point of blockage .

+ Eddie Van Halen , lead guitarist of hard rock band Van Halen , was asked to add a guitar solo . When initially contacted by Jones , Van Halen thought he was receiving a prank call . Having established that the call was genuine , Van Halen borrowed an amplifier from guitarist Allan Holdsworth and recorded his guitar solo free of any charge . `` I did it as a favor '' , the musician later said . `` I was a complete fool , according to the rest of the band , our manager and everyone else . I was not used . I knew what I was doing -- I do n't do something unless I want to do it . '' Van Halen recorded his contribution following Jones and Jackson arriving at the guitarist 's house with a `` skeleton version '' of the song . Fellow guitarist Steve Lukather recalled , `` Initially , we rocked it out as Eddie had played a good solo -- but Quincy thought it was too tough . So I had to reduce the distorted guitar sound and that is what was released . '' The song was among the last four completed for Thriller ; the others were `` Human Nature '' , `` P.Y.T. ( Pretty Young Thing ) '' and `` The Lady in My Life '' .

+ There was an element naming controversy as to what the elements from 104 to 106 were to be called ; the IUPAC adopted unnilseptium ( symbol Uns ) as a temporary , systematic element name for this element . In 1994 a committee of IUPAC recommended that element 107 be named bohrium , not nielsbohrium , since there was no precedence for using a scientist 's complete name in the naming of an element . This was opposed by the discoverers as there was some concern that the name might be confused with boron and in particular the distinguishing of the names of their respective oxyanions , bohrate and borate . The matter was handed to the Danish branch of IUPAC which , despite this , voted in favour of the name bohrium , and thus the name bohrium for element 107 was recognized internationally in 1997 ; the names of the respective oxyanions of boron and bohrium remain unchanged despite their homophony .

Nicknamed `` The Imp '' or `` Halfman '' , Tyrion Lannister of House Lannister is the younger brother of Cersei and Jaime Lannister . He is a dwarf ; and his mother died during his birth , for which his father , Tywin Lannister , blames him . While not physically powerful , Tyrion has a cunning mind and often uses to his advantage the fact that others constantly underestimate him . In Season Three , Tyrion is given the job of Master of Coin , a role that he is unprepared and inexperienced for . Tyrion is commanded by his father to marry Sansa Stark ; however , on the wedding night , Tyrion refuses to consummate his marriage and instead lets Sansa sleep alone , promising not to touch her unless she wanted him to . The death of her brother Robb , in which Tyrion took no part , causes a further rift between the couple and between Tyrion and his father , who he claims ca n't distinguish between his interests and his often - praised ideal of devotion to family . Tywin bitterly claims that he had wanted to drown Tyrion upon birth , but stayed himself for the sake of duty . In season 4 , Tyrion welcomes Prince Oberyn Martell of Dorne to King 's Landing for Joffrey 's wedding to Margaery Tyrell , though Oberyn implies to Tyrion that his true purpose is to seek vengeance for his sister , who was murdered by Ser Gregor Clegane on Tywin 's orders . When Joffrey is fatally poisoned , Tyrion is framed and arrested . Tyrion , however , implies that Cersei knows of his innocence and just wants him dead . At Tyrion 's trial , he demands a trial by combat . Tyrion is approached by Oberyn , who volunteers to be his champion in order to fight Cersei 's champion , Ser Gregor Clegane . When Oberyn loses the fight and is killed , Tyrion is sentenced to death . Jaime , however , frees Tyrion and arranges for him to escape King 's Landing . Tyrion goes to confront Tywin in his chambers but finds Shae , who testified against him and is now Tywin 's lover . After a brief struggle , Tyrion strangles Shae to death , and Tyrion shoots Tywin to death with Joffrey 's crossbow . Tyrion is then placed in a crate and smuggled off to Essos with help from Varys . They arrive in Pentos , where Varys manages to convince Tyrion to travel with him to Meereen and aid Daenerys Targaryen in retaking the Iron Throne . Tyrion is bound and gagged by Jorah Mormont , who says that he will take him to Daenerys . Daenerys takes them both to her home in the Great Pyramid of Meereen and asks Tyrion why he is here . Tyrion tells her everything , including Varys ' plan . He initially counsels her to stay in Meereen , but Daenerys makes it plain to him that her eyes are still on Westeros . Tyrion tells Daenerys how hard it will be to win the love of both the common people and the nobles . He later joins her at the opening celebrations of Daznak 's Pit , where Jorah unexpectedly reappears to defeat every other foe on the arena . As the Sons of the Harpy attack , Tyrion manages to survive by fleeing to the midst of the arena , where they are rescued by Drogon , while Daenerys is spirited away on his back . In season 6 , Tyrion struggles to maintain peace in Meereen , particularly when the Sons of the Harpy burn the entire Meereenese Navy , stranding them in Slaver 's Bay . Following an alliance with Theon and Yara Greyjoy , Tyrion advises Daenerys to break up with Daario so that she may pursue a marriage alliance in Westeros . In gratitude for Tyrion 's loyalty , Daenerys names him her official Hand , and he accompanies her back to Westeros . In season 7 Tyrion 's advice to Daenerys often conflicts with her views , and he has mixed success in directing her actions . He sneaks into King 's Landing and meets with Jamie to set up a meeting between Cersei and Daenerys , which eventually happens in the Dragonpit outside the city . At the meeting a captured wight is produced to convince Cersei that the worst threat is from beyond the Wall . When Cersei is not convinced , Tyrion risks execution to meet with his sister to try again to persuade her . He is unexpectedly allowed
+ The phonograph was invented in 1877 by Thomas Edison . While other inventors had produced devices that could record sounds , Edison 's phonograph was the first to be able to reproduce the recorded sound . His phonograph originally recorded sound onto a tinfoil sheet wrapped around a rotating cylinder . A stylus responding to sound vibrations produced an up and down or hill - and - dale groove in the foil . Alexander Graham Bell 's Volta Laboratory made several improvements in the 1880s and introduced the graphophone , including the use of wax - coated cardboard cylinders and a cutting stylus that moved from side to side in a zig zag groove around the record . In the 1890s , Emile Berliner initiated the transition from phonograph cylinders to flat discs with a spiral groove running from the periphery to near the center , coining the term gramophone for disc record players , which is predominantly used in many languages . Later improvements through the years included modifications to the turntable and its drive system , the stylus or needle , and the sound and equalization systems .
+ Thomas Alva Edison conceived the principle of recording and reproducing sound between May and July 1877 as a byproduct of his efforts to `` play back '' recorded telegraph messages and to automate speech sounds for transmission by telephone . He announced his invention of the first phonograph , a device for recording and replaying sound , on November 21 , 1877 ( early reports appear in Scientific American and several newspapers in the beginning of November , and an even earlier announcement of Edison working on a ' talking - machine ' can be found in the Chicago Daily Tribune on May 9 ) , and he demonstrated the device for the first time on November 29 ( it was patented on February 19 , 1878 as US Patent 200,521 ) . `` In December , 1877 , a young man came into the office of the SCIENTIFIC AMERICAN , and placed before the editors a small , simple machine about which very few preliminary remarks were offered . The visitor without any ceremony whatever turned the crank , and to the astonishment of all present the machine said : `` Good morning . How do you do ? How do you like the phonograph ? '' The machine thus spoke for itself , and made known the fact that it was the phonograph ... ''

+ On Opening Day , April 9 , 1965 , a sold - out crowd of 47,879 watched an exhibition game between the Houston Astros and the New York Yankees . President Lyndon B. Johnson and his wife Lady Bird were in attendance , as well as Texas Governor John Connally and Houston Mayor Louie Welch . Governor Connally tossed out the first ball for the first game ever played indoors . Dick `` Turk '' Farrell of the Astros threw the first pitch . Mickey Mantle had both the first hit ( a single ) and the first home run in the Astrodome . The Astros beat the Yankees that night , 2 - 1 .
+ The decisive factor , in the fall of 1862 and increasingly thereafter was the Battle of Antietam and what grew out of it . Lee 's invasion was a failure at Antietam , and he barely escaped back to Virginia . It was now obvious that no final , conclusive Confederate triumph could be anticipated . The swift recession of the high Confederate tide was as visible in Britain as in America , and in the end , Palmerston and Russell dropped any notion of bringing a mediation - recognition program before the cabinet .
+ Indium ( / ˈɪndiəm / IN - dee - əm ) is a chemical element with the symbol In and atomic number 49 . This rare , very soft , malleable and easily fusible other metal is chemically similar to gallium and thallium , and shows the intermediate properties between these two . Indium was discovered in 1863 and named for the indigo blue line in its spectrum that was the first indication of its existence in zinc ores , as a new and unknown element . The metal was first isolated in the following year . Zinc ores continue to be the primary source of indium , where it is found in compound form . Very rarely the element can be found as grains of native ( free ) metal , but these are not of commercial importance .
+ Three Billboards Outside Ebbing , Missouri won the most awards for the evening with four , including Best Motion Picture -- Drama . The Shape of Water and Lady Bird won two awards each . Big Little Lies , The Handmaid 's Tale and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were among the television shows that received multiple awards .
+ In Time is a 2011 American dystopian science fiction action thriller film written , directed , and produced by Andrew Niccol . Justin Timberlake , Amanda Seyfried and Cillian Murphy star as people in a society where people stop aging at 25 . Instead , a new economic system uses time as currency , and each person has a clock on their arm that counts down how long they have to live . The film was released on October 28 , 2011 .
+ In above ground food webs , energy moves from producers ( plants ) to primary consumers ( herbivores ) and then to secondary consumers ( predators ) . The phrase , trophic level , refers to the different levels or steps in the energy pathway . In other words , the producers , consumers , and decomposers are the main trophic levels . This chain of energy transferring from one species to another can continue several more times , but eventually ends . At the end of the food chain , decomposers such as bacteria and fungi break down dead plant and animal material into simple nutrients .
+ For Whom the Bell Tolls is a novel by Ernest Hemingway published in 1940 . It tells the story of Robert Jordan , a young American in the International Brigades attached to a republican guerrilla unit during the Spanish Civil War . As a dynamiter , he is assigned to blow up a bridge during an attack on the city of Segovia .
+ The book 's title is taken from the metaphysical poet John Donne 's series of meditations and prayers on health , pain , and sickness ( written while Donne was convalescing from a nearly fatal illness ) published in 1624 as Devotions upon Emergent Occasions , specifically Meditation XVII . Hemingway quotes part of the meditation ( using Donne 's original spelling ) in the book 's epigraph , which in turn refers to the practice of funeral tolling :
+ Throughout the early years of the war , British foreign secretary Lord Russell , Napoleon III , and , to a lesser extent , British Prime Minister Lord Palmerston , explored the risks and advantages of recognition of the Confederacy or at least offering a mediation . Recognition meant certain war with the US , loss of American grain , loss of exports , loss of investments in American securities , potential invasion of Canada and other North American colonies , higher taxes , and a threat to the British merchant marine with little to gain in return . Many party leaders and the general public wanted no war with such high costs and meager benefits . Recognition was considered following the Second Battle of Manassas , when the British government was preparing to mediate in the conflict , but the Union victory at the Battle of Antietam and Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation , combined with internal opposition , caused the government to back away .

+ The first regularly scheduled television service in the United States began on July 2 , 1928 , fifteen months before the United Kingdom . The Federal Radio Commission authorized C.F. Jenkins to broadcast from experimental station W3XK in Wheaton Maryland , a suburb of Washington , D.C. For at least the first eighteen months , 48 - line silhouette images from motion picture film were broadcast , although beginning in the summer of 1929 he occasionally broadcast in halftones .
+ Unicorns are not found in Greek mythology , but rather in the accounts of natural history , for Greek writers of natural history were convinced of the reality of unicorns , which they believed lived in India , a distant and fabulous realm for them . The earliest description is from Ctesias , who in his book Indika ( `` On India '' ) described them as wild asses , fleet of foot , having a horn a cubit and a half ( 700 mm , 28 inches ) in length , and colored white , red and black . Aristotle must be following Ctesias when he mentions two one - horned animals , the oryx ( a kind of antelope ) and the so - called `` Indian ass '' . Strabo says that in the Caucasus there were one - horned horses with stag - like heads . Pliny the Elder mentions the oryx and an Indian ox ( perhaps a rhinoceros ) as one - horned beasts , as well as `` a very fierce animal called the monoceros which has the head of the stag , the feet of the elephant , and the tail of the boar , while the rest of the body is like that of the horse ; it makes a deep lowing noise , and has a single black horn , which projects from the middle of its forehead , two cubits ( 900 mm , 35 inches ) in length . '' In On the Nature of Animals ( Περὶ Ζῴων Ἰδιότητος , De natura animalium ) , Aelian , quoting Ctesias , adds that India produces also a one - horned horse ( iii. 41 ; iv. 52 ) , and says ( xvi. 20 ) that the monoceros ( Greek : μονόκερως ) was sometimes called cartazonos ( Greek : καρτάζωνος ) , which may be a form of the Arabic karkadann , meaning `` rhinoceros '' .
+ Each state chooses electors , equal in number to that state 's combined total of senators and representatives . There are a total of 538 electors , corresponding to the 435 representatives and 100 senators , plus the three electors for the District of Columbia as provided by the Twenty - third Amendment . The Constitution bars any federal official , elected or appointed , from being an elector . The Office of the Federal Register is charged with administering the Electoral College . Since the mid-19th century when all electors have been popularly chosen , the Electoral College has elected the candidate who received the most popular votes nationwide , except in four elections : 1876 , 1888 , 2000 , and 2016 . In 1824 , there were six states in which electors were legislatively appointed , rather than popularly elected , so the true national popular vote is uncertain ; the electors failed to select a winning candidate , so the matter was decided by the House of Representatives .
+ where C H O is glucose ( which is subsequently transformed into other sugars , cellulose , lignin , and so forth ) . The value of the photosynthetic efficiency is dependent on how light energy is defined -- it depends on whether we count only the light that is absorbed , and on what kind of light is used ( see Photosynthetically active radiation ) . It takes eight ( or perhaps 10 or more ) photons to utilize one molecule of CO . The Gibbs free energy for converting a mole of CO to glucose is 114 kcal , whereas eight moles of photons of wavelength 600 nm contains 381 kcal , giving a nominal efficiency of 30 % . However , photosynthesis can occur with light up to wavelength 720 nm so long as there is also light at wavelengths below 680 nm to keep Photosystem II operating ( see Chlorophyll ) . Using longer wavelengths means less light energy is needed for the same number of photons and therefore for the same amount of photosynthesis . For actual sunlight , where only 45 % of the light is in the photosynthetically active wavelength range , the theoretical maximum efficiency of solar energy conversion is approximately 11 % . In actuality , however , plants do not absorb all incoming sunlight ( due to reflection , respiration requirements of photosynthesis and the need for optimal solar radiation levels ) and do not convert all harvested energy into biomass , which results in an overall photosynthetic efficiency of 3 to 6 % of total solar radiation . If photosynthesis is inefficient , excess light energy must be dissipated to avoid damaging the photosynthetic apparatus . Energy can be dissipated as heat ( non-photochemical quenching ) , or emitted as chlorophyll fluorescence .

+ The photon sphere is a spherical boundary of zero thickness in which photons that move on tangents to that sphere would be trapped in a circular orbit about the black hole . For non-rotating black holes , the photon sphere has a radius 1.5 times the Schwarzschild radius . Their orbits would be dynamically unstable , hence any small perturbation , such as a particle of infalling matter , would cause an instability that would grow over time , either setting the photon on an outward trajectory causing it to escape the black hole , or on an inward spiral where it would eventually cross the event horizon .
