What does the acronym MDT stand for? | During the 1990s, Khan also served as UNICEF's Special Representative for Sports and promoted health and immunisation programmes in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Thailand. While in London, he also works with the Lord's Taverners, a cricket charity. Khan focused his efforts solely on social work. By 1991, he had founded the Shaukat Khanum Memorial Trust, a charity organisation bearing the name of his mother, Mrs. Shaukat Khanum. As the Trust's maiden endeavour, Khan established Pakistan's first and only cancer hospital, constructed using donations and funds exceeding $25 million, raised by Khan from all over the world.On 27 April 2008, Khan established a technical college in the Mianwali District called Namal College. It was built by the Mianwali Development Trust (MDT), and is an associate college of the University of Bradford in December 2005. Imran Khan Foundation is another welfare work, which aims to assist needy people all over Pakistan. It has provided help to flood victims in Pakistan. Buksh Foundation has partnered with the Imran Khan Foundation to light up villages in Dera Ghazi Khan, Mianwali and Dera Ismail Khan under the project 'Lighting a Million Lives'. The campaign will establish several Solar Charging Stations in the selected off-grid villages and will provide villagers with solar lanterns, which can be regularly charged at the solar-charging stations. |
What satellite made it impossible for Sky Digital to launch an all new digital service? | When Sky Digital was launched in 1998 the new service used the Astra 2A satellite which was located at the 28.5°E orbital position, unlike the analogue service which was broadcast from 19.2°E. This was subsequently followed by more Astra satellites as well as Eutelsat's Eurobird 1 (now Eutelsat 33C) at 28.5°E), enabled the company to launch a new all-digital service, Sky, with the potential to carry hundreds of television and radio channels. The old position was shared with broadcasters from several European countries, while the new position at 28.5°E came to be used almost exclusively for channels that broadcast to the United Kingdom. |
How many ways can you screw the base node in? | I have mixed feelings on this product because it has some very good aspects and one very irritating aspect.The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. I use this whisk for scrambled eggs every week and they come out perfectly each time. The whisk is aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and when put together it's just a twist of the base to open the whisk, or you can use it in the "flat mode" as well - it all depends on what you're cooking.It's also very easy to clean the product becomes it comes apart completely. You pull the base node out which unlocks all of the whisks and they can be removed and washed separately. Unfortunately, this is where the downside comes into play...putting it back together.There's only ONE way the base node fits back in, and if you get the whisk parts misaligned in even the slightest way it will not lock back into place without a bit of difficulty. In one case I had to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn the metal locking pin at the bottom so I could snap the base node back in. This one aspect has made me avoid taking the whisk apart to clean it - just toss it in the dishwasher or run under hot soapy water in the sink to clean up the brushes. And...unless you're submerging it in some stew or soup, you really do not need to take it completely apart to clean it.Overall I am mixed. It works well as a whisk or in "flat mode" but trying to put it back together after dismantling to clean...yeah not so much. |
What organ does this sickness invade? | Viruses may reach the lung by a number of different routes. Respiratory syncytial virus is typically contracted when people touch contaminated objects and then they touch their eyes or nose. Other viral infections occur when contaminated airborne droplets are inhaled through the mouth or nose. Once in the upper airway, the viruses may make their way in the lungs, where they invade the cells lining the airways, alveoli, or lung parenchyma. Some viruses such as measles and herpes simplex may reach the lungs via the blood. The invasion of the lungs may lead to varying degrees of cell death. When the immune system responds to the infection, even more lung damage may occur. Primarily white blood cells, mainly mononuclear cells, generate the inflammation. As well as damaging the lungs, many viruses simultaneously affect other organs and thus disrupt other body functions. Viruses also make the body more susceptible to bacterial infections; in this way, bacterial pneumonia can occur at the same time as viral pneumonia. |
What is the United State's second-busiest commercial port? | Southern California is also home to the Port of Los Angeles, the United States' busiest commercial port; the adjacent Port of Long Beach, the United States' second busiest container port; and the Port of San Diego. |
Which brand of item was bought? | After reading several of the negative reviews, I wasn't sure if I wanted to risk purchasing the Sharp SuperSteam, but considering that the only competing option that I was looking at, was a commercial, 1/4 size convection oven, which received more negative reviews than the Sharp, so the decision on which oven to purchase was actually a no-brainer, Now that my wife and I have been using the oven for a few weeks, I can earnestly say that we are very happy with the decision. The oven is solid, great looking and cooks very well in all modes, particularly SuperSteam, which we use most of the time, for just about everything except bread, which browns better with convection.Last week, we even purchased a second SuperSteam for our vacation house. |
Who drove away on the chopper? | As Butch waits at a traffic light in his car, Marsellus spots him by chance crossing the road (probably returning with soda drinks to Butch's apartment after leaving Vincent to wait) and chases him into a pawnshop. The owner, Maynard, captures them at gunpoint and ties them up in the basement. Maynard is joined by Zed, a security guard; they take Marsellus to another room to rape him, leaving the "gimp", a silent figure in a bondage suit, to watch Butch. Butch breaks loose and knocks out the gimp. He is about to flee but decides to save Marsellus, returning with a katana from the pawnshop. He kills Maynard; Marsellus retrieves Maynard's shotgun and shoots Zed. Marsellus informs Butch that they are even, as long as he tells no one about the rape and departs Los Angeles forever. Butch picks up Fabienne on Zed's chopper and they drive away. |
How often are elections held for the Victorian Parliament? | In November 2006, the Victorian Legislative Council elections were held under a new multi-member proportional representation system. The State of Victoria was divided into eight electorates with each electorate represented by five representatives elected by Single Transferable Vote. The total number of upper house members was reduced from 44 to 40 and their term of office is now the same as the lower house members—four years. Elections for the Victorian Parliament are now fixed and occur in November every four years. Prior to the 2006 election, the Legislative Council consisted of 44 members elected to eight-year terms from 22 two-member electorates. |
how does the writer feel about the product overall? | This compact vacuum cleaner as several cool features to recommend it. First of all is the new canister. Unlike old cordless vacuums with messy canisters that always manage to get dirt on the floor, this one keeps the mess to a minimum with a button that pops the canister open at the bottom but does not require you to take it completely off. This feature allows you to empty it easier and with less mess. The retractable nozzle keeps you from storing attachments. While the weight is a touch heavy, the suction power is good and makes up for it. Overall, I am very pleased with this vacuum. |
How many states is The Hindu published in? | As of March 2018, The Hindu is published from 21 locations across 11 states: Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Thiruvananthapuram, Vijayawada, Kolkata, Mumbai, Coimbatore, Madurai, Noida, Visakhapatnam, Kochi, Mangaluru, Tiruchirappalli, Hubballi, Mohali, Allahabad, Kozhikode, Lucknow, Tirupati, Cuttack and Patna. |
What is the desert of southern California popular for? | Many locals and tourists frequent the southern California coast for its popular beaches, and the desert city of Palm Springs is popular for its resort feel and nearby open spaces. |
What kind of arm does the product have? | This paper towel holder is perfect and works exactly how you've always wanted your paper towel holders to work. The spring loaded arm provides just enough tension to allow you to rip off a sheet with one hand while not providing so much force that it is tough for the roll to rotate. The weighted bottom also helps -- no more tipping over the paper towel holder while trying to rip off a sheet. The height of the holder is also shorter than other holders I've used, allowing it to easily fit underneath my upper cabinets. |
When is the detection initiated in a router? | OSPF supports complex networks with multiple routers, including backup routers, to balance traffic load on multiple links to other subnets. Neighboring routers in the same broadcast domain or at each end of a point-to-point link communicate with each other via the OSPF protocol. Routers form adjacencies when they have detected each other. This detection is initiated when a router identifies itself in a Hello protocol packet. Upon acknowledgment, this establishes a two-way state and the most basic relationship. The routers in an Ethernet or Frame Relay network select a Designated Router (DR) and a Backup Designated Router (BDR) which act as a hub to reduce traffic between routers. OSPF uses both unicast and multicast transmission modes to send "Hello" packets and link state updates. |
What does the past time and space hierarchy theorems form the basis of? | The time and space hierarchy theorems form the basis for most separation results of complexity classes. For instance, the time hierarchy theorem tells us that P is strictly contained in EXPTIME, and the space hierarchy theorem tells us that L is strictly contained in PSPACE. |
What size was the travel cup? | I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down. |
What is the alternate name for the more serious form of TB? | In 15–20% of active cases, the infection spreads outside the lungs, causing other kinds of TB. These are collectively denoted as "extrapulmonary tuberculosis". Extrapulmonary TB occurs more commonly in people with a weakened immune system and young children. In those with HIV, this occurs in more than 50% of cases. Notable extrapulmonary infection sites include the pleura (in tuberculous pleurisy), the central nervous system (in tuberculous meningitis), the lymphatic system (in scrofula of the neck), the genitourinary system (in urogenital tuberculosis), and the bones and joints (in Pott disease of the spine), among others. A potentially more serious, widespread form of TB is called "disseminated tuberculosis", also known as miliary tuberculosis. Miliary TB currently makes up about 10% of extrapulmonary cases. |
What will the output be for a member of the language of a decision problem? | Decision problems are one of the central objects of study in computational complexity theory. A decision problem is a special type of computational problem whose answer is either yes or no, or alternately either 1 or 0. A decision problem can be viewed as a formal language, where the members of the language are instances whose output is yes, and the non-members are those instances whose output is no. The objective is to decide, with the aid of an algorithm, whether a given input string is a member of the formal language under consideration. If the algorithm deciding this problem returns the answer yes, the algorithm is said to accept the input string, otherwise it is said to reject the input. |
What does the author use the bottom drawers for? | I purchased this Queen Size Platform Bed over a year ago and have taken it apart 3 times due to moving. As with any pressed board furniture quality can well suck. I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well. It is by no means looking new anymore, and I may replace it in the near future, but I would imagine if the bed was not moved often and built well the first time, this platform bed would last for many years. The drawers on the bottom are nice for personal items. Overall I have enjoyed this bed, and would recommend due to its price and durability. |
What locations does the Foundation have offices in? | In this regard, the Foundation is an agent of organized liberalism. It promotes this through civic education, international political dialogues, and political counselling. The Foundation has numerous offices in Europe, Africa, America, and Asia. It also enjoys close links with Germany’s Free Democratic Party (FDP) and Liberal International (LI). |
When was NTL Telewest rebranded from Virgin Media? | Virgin Media (re-branded in 2007 from NTL:Telewest) started to offer a high-definition television (HDTV) capable set top box, although from 30 November 2006 until 30 July 2009 it only carried one linear HD channel, BBC HD, after the conclusion of the ITV HD trial. Virgin Media has claimed that other HD channels were "locked up" or otherwise withheld from their platform, although Virgin Media did in fact have an option to carry Channel 4 HD in the future. Nonetheless, the linear channels were not offered, Virgin Media instead concentrating on its Video On Demand service to carry a modest selection of HD content. Virgin Media has nevertheless made a number of statements over the years, suggesting that more linear HD channels are on the way. |
What was a con of the towels? | I felt as if I was wrapping myself in a blanket when I walked out of the shower! I had no idea that my towels were so bad, until I tried these towels. They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. They are also very absorbent. It was a quick dry after I came out of the shower, but I didn't want to take my towel off! The only problem (and I wouldn't even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. Not a problem I also purchased the 600 GSM towel set and those are perfect for my hair. These are worth the price and much more. |
When does Saturn appear to be at its brightest? | Saturn and its rings are best seen when the planet is at, or near, opposition, the configuration of a planet when it is at an elongation of 180°, and thus appears opposite the Sun in the sky. A Saturnian opposition occurs every year—approximately every 378 days—and results in the planet appearing at its brightest. Both the Earth and Saturn orbit the Sun on eccentric orbits, which means their distances from the Sun vary over time, and therefore so do their distances from each other, hence varying the brightness of Saturn from one opposition to the next. Saturn also appears brighter when the rings are angled such that they are more visible. For example, during the opposition of 17 December 2002, Saturn appeared at its brightest due to a favorable orientation of its rings relative to the Earth, even though Saturn was closer to the Earth and Sun in late 2003.From time to time Saturn is occulted by the Moon (that is, the Moon covers up Saturn in the sky). As with all the planets in the Solar System, occultations of Saturn occur in "seasons". Saturnian occultations will take place 12 or more times over a 12-month period, followed by about a five-year period in which no such activity is registered. Australian astronomy experts Hill and Horner explain the seasonal nature of Saturnian occultations: |
What consortium was BSkyB excluded from? | While BSkyB had been excluded from being a part of the ONdigital consortium, thereby making them a competitor by default, BSkyB was able to join ITV Digital's free-to-air replacement, Freeview, in which it holds an equal stake with the BBC, ITV, Channel 4 and National Grid Wireless. Prior to October 2005, three BSkyB channels were available on this platform: Sky News, Sky Three, and Sky Sports News. Initially BSkyB provided Sky Travel to the service. However, this was replaced by Sky Three on 31 October 2005, which was itself later re-branded as 'Pick TV' in 2011. |
What does the pan hold and distribute well? | I was genuinely shocked at the quality of this pan compared to the price I paid. Completely worth it. It's a 5 ply, and the bottom is HEAVY. The lid fits perfectly and is also quite heavy. I can cook anything in it, it's very wide and shallow enough to pan sear steaks or saute asparagus or cook a whole breakfast like in the picture. It holds and distributes heat well and can easily burn, but cleans up just fine with some steel wool or baking soda. This is my go to pan for meats. Solid construction. |
What can tuberculosis cause? | If a tuberculosis infection does become active, it most commonly involves the lungs (in about 90% of cases). Symptoms may include chest pain and a prolonged cough producing sputum. About 25% of people may not have any symptoms (i.e. they remain "asymptomatic"). Occasionally, people may cough up blood in small amounts, and in very rare cases, the infection may erode into the pulmonary artery or a Rasmussen's aneurysm, resulting in massive bleeding. Tuberculosis may become a chronic illness and cause extensive scarring in the upper lobes of the lungs. The upper lung lobes are more frequently affected by tuberculosis than the lower ones. The reason for this difference is not clear. It may be due to either better air flow, or poor lymph drainage within the upper lungs. |
What are the two simple word responses to a decision problem? | Decision problems are one of the central objects of study in computational complexity theory. A decision problem is a special type of computational problem whose answer is either yes or no, or alternately either 1 or 0. A decision problem can be viewed as a formal language, where the members of the language are instances whose output is yes, and the non-members are those instances whose output is no. The objective is to decide, with the aid of an algorithm, whether a given input string is a member of the formal language under consideration. If the algorithm deciding this problem returns the answer yes, the algorithm is said to accept the input string, otherwise it is said to reject the input. |

I have to say even after 3 moves, this bed has held up fairly well. It is by no means looking new anymore, and I may replace it in the near future, but I would imagine if the bed was not moved often and built well the first time, this platform bed would last for many years.

what is the aim of the NGOs? | World NGO Day is a day for NGOs around the globe to share knowledge and experiences with one another. It aims to educate individuals worldwide on NGOs and their impact. The World NGO Day provides an opportunity to honour and remember NGO founders, employees, volunteers, members and supporters. |
What is Sky+ HD material broadcast using? | BSkyB's standard definition broadcasts are in DVB-compliant MPEG-2, with the Sky Movies and Sky Box Office channels including optional Dolby Digital soundtracks for recent films, although these are only accessible with a Sky+ box. Sky+ HD material is broadcast using MPEG-4 and most of the HD material uses the DVB-S2 standard. Interactive services and 7-day EPG use the proprietary OpenTV system, with set-top boxes including modems for a return path. Sky News, amongst other channels, provides a pseudo-video on demand interactive service by broadcasting looping video streams. |
How high is the oven temperature? | With just the two of us to cook for, a countertop oven is more energy efficient than heating up the a large oven just to bake two potatoes and roast a dozen spears of asparagus. And for the money, this one does the job. However, determining how long something will take to cook is a guessing game. The gauge seems to be correct at the lower temperatures, but the oven never seems to get much over 350, using an oven thermometer. I pretty much just leave it set at 450 (which will eventually get up to 350) and check every so often; otherwise, it can literally take four or five times as long to cook as expected. It says it will hold a 13-inch pan, but not if it has handles on it; 13 inches total is the maximum, so measure your pans. The picture shows two pizzas in the oven, but even with the convection on, the one on the bottom will not cook in the same time as the one on the top. I've never used the rotisserie, as it says it will take 4 hours to cook a chicken. |
What happen when Tuberculosis entered France in 1918? | Albert Calmette and Camille Guérin achieved the first genuine success in immunization against tuberculosis in 1906, using attenuated bovine-strain tuberculosis. It was called bacille Calmette–Guérin (BCG). The BCG vaccine was first used on humans in 1921 in France, but achieved widespread acceptance in the US, Great Britain, and Germany only after World War II.Tuberculosis caused widespread public concern in the 19th and early 20th centuries as the disease became common among the urban poor. In 1815 one in four deaths in England was due to "consumption". By 1918, TB still caused one in six deaths in France. After TB was determined to be contagious, in the 1880s, it was put on a notifiable-disease list in Britain; campaigns started to stop people from spitting in public places, and the infected poor were "encouraged" to enter sanatoria that resembled prisons (the sanatoria for the middle and upper classes offered excellent care and constant medical attention). Whatever the benefits of the "fresh air" and labor in the sanatoria, even under the best conditions, 50% of those who entered died within five years (c. 1916). When the Medical Research Council formed in Britain in 1913, it initially focused on tuberculosis research.In Europe, rates of tuberculosis began to rise in the early 1600s to a peak level in the 1800s, when it caused nearly 25% of all deaths. By the 1950s mortality in Europe had decreased about 90%. Improvements in sanitation, vaccination, and other public-health measures began significantly reducing rates of tuberculosis even before the arrival of streptomycin and other antibiotics, although the disease remained a significant threat. In 1946 the development of the antibiotic streptomycin made effective treatment and cure of TB a reality. Prior to the introduction of this medication, the only treatment was surgical intervention, including the "pneumothorax technique", which involved collapsing an infected lung to "rest" it and to allow tuberculous lesions to heal.Because of the emergence of MDR-TB, surgery has been re-introduced for certain cases of TB infections. It involves the removal of infected chest cavities ("bullae") in the lungs to reduce the number of bacteria and to increase exposure of the remaining bacteria to antibiotics in the bloodstream. Hopes of completely eliminating TB ended with the rise of drug-resistant strains in the 1980s. The subsequent resurgence of tuberculosis resulted in the declaration of a global health emergency by the World Health Organization in 1993. |
How can graphs be encoded indirectly? | When considering computational problems, a problem instance is a string over an alphabet. Usually, the alphabet is taken to be the binary alphabet (i.e., the set {0,1}), and thus the strings are bitstrings. As in a real-world computer, mathematical objects other than bitstrings must be suitably encoded. For example, integers can be represented in binary notation, and graphs can be encoded directly via their adjacency matrices, or by encoding their adjacency lists in binary. |
What does it need to be stored in? | I bought 2 CAI Tylose Powder a few months ago. I use it to harden fondant and gumpaste, it works great. For fondant i add a really small amount to the fondant i wish to use to make decorations. It will harden the fondant eventually. For gumpaste, a lot of it is needed, and it's actually added to the recipe. Once the gumpaste is made, it has to be stored in an air sealed bag. Otherwise it will harden really quick. This product is a bit pricy but it works. I recommend buying more than one at a time to save on shipping. |
Who contributed information to the star catalogues? | A star catalogue (Commonwealth English) or star catalog (American English), is an astronomical catalogue that lists stars. In astronomy, many stars are referred to simply by catalogue numbers. There are a great many different star catalogues which have been produced for different purposes over the years, and this article covers only some of the more frequently quoted ones. Star catalogues were compiled by many different ancient people, including the Babylonians, Greeks, Chinese, Persians, and Arabs. They were sometimes accompanied by a star chart for illustration. Most modern catalogues are available in electronic format and can be freely downloaded from space agencies data centres. |
Who were there disputes between when California ruled Mexico? | Though there is no official definition for the northern boundary of southern California, such a division has existed from the time when Mexico ruled California, and political disputes raged between the Californios of Monterey in the upper part and Los Angeles in the lower part of Alta California. Following the acquisition of California by the United States, the division continued as part of the attempt by several pro-slavery politicians to arrange the division of Alta California at 36 degrees, 30 minutes, the line of the Missouri Compromise. Instead, the passing of the Compromise of 1850 enabled California to be admitted to the Union as a free state, preventing southern California from becoming its own separate slave state. |
What is being reviewed? | This is an update to my review below...Having used this little spatula for a few months now, I'd glad to say that it is still holding up well. Better than expected. I've found the best uses for it, and its 'big brother'. They sustain the heat of cooking without staining or scorching. Very pleased. I WOULD recommend either....'D. Wetherington' commented on the thickness of it, and I must say, it didn't occur to me until I used it, but it is a bit too thick. Although it, of course, works...it seems like it may break or crack in the future. NOT SAYING IT WILL...just feels like it will.Also, the end, where the hole is, is REALLY thin. It almost feels like an afterthought. Flimsy. For the price, I would NOT recommend it to a friend.Pros...'Scrapes all the stuff'Cleans easilyOne piece unitCons...Unsure of the qualityA bit stiffEnd too 'rubbery' |
Tabnabbing is a method that does what to the user? | Tabnabbing takes advantage of tabbed browsing, with multiple open tabs. This method silently redirects the user to the affected site. This technique operates in reverse to most phishing techniques in that it does not directly take the user to the fraudulent site, but instead loads the fake page in one of the browser's open tabs. |
How many earthquakes are greater than a 4.7 magnitude? | Each year, the southern California area has about 10,000 earthquakes. Nearly all of them are so small that they are not felt. Only several hundred are greater than magnitude 3.0, and only about 15–20 are greater than magnitude 4.0. The magnitude 6.7 1994 Northridge earthquake was particularly destructive, causing a substantial number of deaths, injuries, and structural collapses. It caused the most property damage of any earthquake in U.S. history, estimated at over $20 billion. |
What is the size | These bags are a decent price and very handy to have stashed in your purse, messenger bag, briefcase or glove compartment. I've recieved a number of compliments and questions about them, but I hesitate to recommend them for more than casual use.Size-wise, they are about the same size as your standard plastic grocery bag and about as useful. The handles are not long enough to go over your shoulder, so you will have to carry these bags by hand. While they do seem to hold a good amount of stuff, it seems unlikely you'll hit the 25-lb weight limit unless you're lugging home bags of canned goods--so you're probably safe there.While they are easy enough to stuff and unstuff, I haven't found that they are made very well. One of my bags already has stitching at the handle coming undone after only two uses! I think these are nice to have on hand for smaller shopping trips where the bags will come in handy but not see too much use, but I will be purchasing some larger (and hopefully more well-made) bags that can fit over the shoulder for daily use, including grocery shopping and larger trips. |
What year did ATD-X first take off? | The Mitsubishi X-2 Shinshin (formerly the ATD-X) is a Japanese experimental aircraft for testing advanced stealth fighter aircraft technologies. It is being developed by the Japanese Ministry of Defense Technical Research and Development Institute (TRDI) for research purposes. The main contractor of the project is Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. Many consider this aircraft to be Japan's first domestically made stealth fighter. ATD-X is an acronym for "Advanced Technology Demonstrator – X". The aircraft is widely known in Japan as Shinshin (心神, meaning "one’s mind" or "Mount Fuji") although the name itself is an early code name within the Japan Self-Defense Forces and is not officially in use. The aircraft's first flight was on 22 April 2016. |
What does not define a bigger set of problems? | For the complexity classes defined in this way, it is desirable to prove that relaxing the requirements on (say) computation time indeed defines a bigger set of problems. In particular, although DTIME(n) is contained in DTIME(n2), it would be interesting to know if the inclusion is strict. For time and space requirements, the answer to such questions is given by the time and space hierarchy theorems respectively. They are called hierarchy theorems because they induce a proper hierarchy on the classes defined by constraining the respective resources. Thus there are pairs of complexity classes such that one is properly included in the other. Having deduced such proper set inclusions, we can proceed to make quantitative statements about how much more additional time or space is needed in order to increase the number of problems that can be solved. |
What was added to a baking toolbox? | This Mortar and Pestle is a great lil accent to my baking toolbox, its weight is just perfect.. I have so far used it for pecans, (for pecan encrusted chicken) and sea salt for my artisian bread, and lavendar from the garden.. too many uses, great gadget!!! I have to laugh the UPS driver though it was a bowling ball, i wasnt too pleased with the shipping as the box was crushed/torn in a few places, however the functionality of this Stone Mortar and Pestle is WONDERFUL! My herbs and spices from my garden, to make pesto, is Marvelioushous!!! LOL if that is a word! |
Which industry did Howard Government partially deregulate? | An emphasis on exporting commodities rather than manufactured goods has underpinned a significant increase in Australia's terms of trade since the start of the 21st century, due to rising commodity prices. Australia has a balance of payments that is more than 7% of GDP negative, and has had persistently large current account deficits for more than 50 years. Australia has grown at an average annual rate of 3.6% for over 15 years, in comparison to the OECD annual average of 2.5%.Australia was the only advanced economy not to experience a recession due to the global financial downturn in 2008–2009. However, the economies of six of Australia's major trading partners have been in recession, which in turn has affected Australia, significantly hampering its economic growth in recent years. From 2012 to early 2013, Australia's national economy grew, but some non-mining states and Australia's non-mining economy experienced a recession.The Hawke Government floated the Australian dollar in 1983 and partially deregulated the financial system. The Howard Government followed with a partial deregulation of the labour market and the further privatisation of state-owned businesses, most notably in the telecommunications industry. The indirect tax system was substantially changed in July 2000 with the introduction of a 10% Goods and Services Tax (GST). In Australia's tax system, personal and company income tax are the main sources of government revenue.As of September 2018, there were 12,640,800 people employed (either full- or part-time), with an unemployment rate of 5.2%. Data released in mid-November 2013 showed that the number of welfare recipients had grown by 55%. In 2007 228,621 Newstart unemployment allowance recipients were registered, a total that increased to 646,414 in March 2013. According to the Graduate Careers Survey, full-time employment for newly qualified professionals from various occupations has declined since 2011 but it increases for graduates three years after graduation.Since 2008, inflation has typically been 2–3% and the base interest rate 5–6%. The service sector of the economy, including tourism, education, and financial services, accounts for about 70% of GDP. Rich in natural resources, Australia is a major exporter of agricultural products, particularly wheat and wool, minerals such as iron-ore and gold, and energy in the forms of liquified natural gas and coal. Although agriculture and natural resources account for only 3% and 5% of GDP respectively, they contribute substantially to export performance. Australia's largest export markets are Japan, China, the US, South Korea, and New Zealand. Australia is the world's fourth largest exporter of wine, and the wine industry contributes A$5.5 billion per year to the nation's economy. |
What did the California Times define twice? | In 1900, the Los Angeles Times defined southern California as including "the seven counties of Los Angeles, San Bernardino, Orange, Riverside, San Diego, Ventura and Santa Barbara." In 1999, the Times added a newer county—Imperial—to that list. |
Being that it is plastic it the beater as strong as the metal beaters? | I bought this for my 6-quart KitchenAid Professional mixer, and this beater is a lot better than the one that came with the mixer. I bought it, because I make a lot of cookies, cakes, and creme pies. The rubber on the edges scrape the sides of the mixing bowl to ensure that everything gets mixed in evenly. Even though it's plastic, it seems durable, in addition to being dishwasher safe. Be aware that the first few rotations around the mixing bowl, the beater will squeak until there is enough lubrication on the rubber for it to glide around smoothly, and it will do this pretty much every time. Other than that, I love this beater! |
What disease does nontuberculous mycobacteria cause? | The M. tuberculosis complex (MTBC) includes four other TB-causing mycobacteria: M. bovis, M. africanum, M. canetti, and M. microti. M. africanum is not widespread, but it is a significant cause of tuberculosis in parts of Africa. M. bovis was once a common cause of tuberculosis, but the introduction of pasteurized milk has almost completely eliminated this as a public health problem in developed countries. M. canetti is rare and seems to be limited to the Horn of Africa, although a few cases have been seen in African emigrants. M. microti is also rare and is seen almost only in immunodeficient people, although its prevalence may be significantly underestimated.Other known pathogenic mycobacteria include M. leprae, M. avium, and M. kansasii. The latter two species are classified as "nontuberculous mycobacteria" (NTM). NTM cause neither TB nor leprosy, but they do cause lung diseases that resemble TB. |
What kind of graph is an example of an input used in a decision problem? | An example of a decision problem is the following. The input is an arbitrary graph. The problem consists in deciding whether the given graph is connected, or not. The formal language associated with this decision problem is then the set of all connected graphs—of course, to obtain a precise definition of this language, one has to decide how graphs are encoded as binary strings. |
What was wrong with the pan when he first got it? | I wish I could give this pan a better review however, the one I received did not come properly "Pre-Seasoned." I can detect rust underneath which was not cleaned off prior to factory seasoning. Some of the rust is alredy surfacing. I will have to remove the old seasoning and rust and then properly season before actually using it. I have noticed that Lodge is not pre-seasoning their products as well as they used to. The last three items I purchased via AMAZON have the same problem. AMAZON should contact Lodge regarding this continuing trend. I suggest anyone interested in purchasing any of the Lodge line of products to consider the aforementioned first. One reason Lodge pre-seasoned products are higher is becasue they are supposed to be pre-seasoned and ready for immediate use. |
It what ways does the foundation promote organized liberalism? | In this regard, the Foundation is an agent of organized liberalism. It promotes this through civic education, international political dialogues, and political counselling. The Foundation has numerous offices in Europe, Africa, America, and Asia. It also enjoys close links with Germany’s Free Democratic Party (FDP) and Liberal International (LI). |
what was the name of the other HD channel Virgin media could carry in the future? | Virgin Media (re-branded in 2007 from NTL:Telewest) started to offer a high-definition television (HDTV) capable set top box, although from 30 November 2006 until 30 July 2009 it only carried one linear HD channel, BBC HD, after the conclusion of the ITV HD trial. Virgin Media has claimed that other HD channels were "locked up" or otherwise withheld from their platform, although Virgin Media did in fact have an option to carry Channel 4 HD in the future. Nonetheless, the linear channels were not offered, Virgin Media instead concentrating on its Video On Demand service to carry a modest selection of HD content. Virgin Media has nevertheless made a number of statements over the years, suggesting that more linear HD channels are on the way. |
What towel set did the user purchase? | I felt as if I was wrapping myself in a blanket when I walked out of the shower! I had no idea that my towels were so bad, until I tried these towels. They are a generous size and thick. My children even noticed the difference. They are also very absorbent. It was a quick dry after I came out of the shower, but I didn't want to take my towel off! The only problem (and I wouldn't even call it a problem.) is that they are so thick and heavy it was difficult to wrap around my head. Not a problem I also purchased the 600 GSM towel set and those are perfect for my hair. These are worth the price and much more. |
What else besides music is considered to be a part of country ideology? | Literature and music are other venues for expressing the country's ideology. Kim Jong-il showed interest in or perhaps even obsession with cinema. The North Korean leader reportedly had a huge library of Western and Asian movies. In the 1980s, he even ordered the kidnapping of two South Korean movie-makers and forced them to make films for the North Korean state. A series of historical novels—Pulmyouui yoksa (Immortal History)—depict the heroism and tragedy of the preliberation era. The Korean War is the theme of Korea Fights and The Burning Island. Since the late 1970s, five "great revolutionary plays" have been promoted as prototypes of the party's literature: The Shrine for a Tutelary Deity, a theatrical rendition of The Flower Girl, Three Men, One Party, A Letter from a Daughter, and Hyolbun mangukhoe (Resentment at the World Conference).Korean revolutionary opera, derived from traditional Korean operas, known as ch'angguk, often utilize variations on Korean folk songs. Old fairy tales have also been transformed to include revolutionary themes. As part of the party's policy of preserving the best from Korea's past, moreover, premodern vernacular works such as the Sasong kibong (Encounter of Four Persons) and the Ssangch'on kibong (Encounter at the Two Rivers) have been reprinted.Musical compositions include the "Song of General Kim Il Sung", "Long Life and Good Health to the Leader," and "We Sing of His Benevolent Love"—hymns that praise the nation's leader. According to a North Korean writer, "Our musicians have pursued the party's policy of composing orchestral music based on famous songs and folk songs popular among our people and produced numerous instrumental pieces of a new type." This music includes a symphony based on the theme of The Sea of Blood, which has also been made into a revolutionary opera.In February 2008, The New York Philharmonic Orchestra became the first U.S. orchestra to perform in North Korea, albeit for a handpicked "invited audience." The concert was broadcast on national television. The Christian rock band Casting Crowns played at the annual Spring Friendship Arts Festival in April 2007, held in Pyongyang.Motion pictures are recognized as "the most powerful medium for educating the masses" and play a central role in social education. According to a North Korean source, "films for children contribute to the formation of the rising generation, with a view to creating a new kind of man, harmoniously evolved and equipped with well-founded knowledge and a sound mind in a sound body." One of the most influential films, An Jung-geun Shoots Ito Hirobumi, tells of the assassin who killed the Japanese resident-general in Korea in 1909. An is depicted as a courageous patriot, but one whose efforts to liberate Korea were frustrated because the masses had not been united under "an outstanding leader who enunciates a correct guiding thought and scientific strategy and tactics." Folk tales such as "The Tale of Chun Hyang", about a nobleman who marries a servant girl, and "The Tale of On Dal" have also been made into films.Australian filmmaker Anna Broinowski gained access to North Korea's film industry through British filmmaker Nick Bonner, who facilitated meetings between Broinowski and prominent North Korean filmmakers to assist Broinowski with the production of Aim High in Creation!, a film project based on Kim Jong-il's manifesto. Broinowski explained in July 2013, prior to the screening of the film at the Melbourne International Film Festival: |
Who killed Harold II? | In 1066, Duke William II of Normandy conquered England killing King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. The invading Normans and their descendants replaced the Anglo-Saxons as the ruling class of England. The nobility of England were part of a single Normans culture and many had lands on both sides of the channel. Early Norman kings of England, as Dukes of Normandy, owed homage to the King of France for their land on the continent. They considered England to be their most important holding (it brought with it the title of King—an important status symbol). |
What material is the machine made from? | I have a very mixed review of this cleaner. It cleans beautifully-I have no complaints in that area. My complaint is with how the cleaner is designed and manufactured. The handle to the dirty water tank immediately began to give me problems. The second use of the machine, the handle fell off. It is not fixable as the cheap plastic broke off. The design of the thing is very strange-I haven't a clue why they did it that way. Also, the caddie that holds the tools I find to be very inconvieniant. It doesn't hold the hose very well and is mostly in the way. The only reason I rated the machine 3 was the cleaning ability. I am pleased (so far) with how well it cleans. |
How many restaurants are housed in the Abraj Kudai hotel expected to open in 2019 or 2020? | Abraj Kudai is a hotel currently under construction in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It was projected to open in 2017, but a financial hiccup in 2015 halted construction and pushed out its completion to 2019 or 2020. When completed, it will be the largest hotel in the world, consisting of a ring of 12 towers 45 stories high, with 10,000 bedrooms, 70 restaurants, and four rooftop helipads. There will also be five floors for the sole use of the Saudi royal family. According to Arabian Business, 10 of the towers will provide four-star accommodations, while the other two towers will be reserved for special clientele offering five-star amenities.The estimated project cost is US$3.5 billion, and will cover approximately 1.4 million square metres. The London-based firm Areen Hospitality has been contracted to design the hotel and the rooms interiors. |
What kind of statement is made in the effort of establishing the time and space requirements needed to enhance the ultimate number of problems solved? | For the complexity classes defined in this way, it is desirable to prove that relaxing the requirements on (say) computation time indeed defines a bigger set of problems. In particular, although DTIME(n) is contained in DTIME(n2), it would be interesting to know if the inclusion is strict. For time and space requirements, the answer to such questions is given by the time and space hierarchy theorems respectively. They are called hierarchy theorems because they induce a proper hierarchy on the classes defined by constraining the respective resources. Thus there are pairs of complexity classes such that one is properly included in the other. Having deduced such proper set inclusions, we can proceed to make quantitative statements about how much more additional time or space is needed in order to increase the number of problems that can be solved. |
What happened with some other pans? | I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans. The pans are quite thick and sturdy and the non-stick coating is quite good. I have used a number of pans that have come from different manufacturers, and many times, the non-stick coating doesn't work as well as it should or starts peeling. The non-stick coating on these pans is quite excellent and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend these pans for all those mini jobs even if you don't use them in your countertop oven. |
Approximately how many strains of disease have been identifies in the article? | Pneumonia is due to infections caused primarily by bacteria or viruses and less commonly by fungi and parasites. Although there are over 100 strains of infectious agents identified, only a few are responsible for the majority of the cases. Mixed infections with both viruses and bacteria may occur in roughly 45% of infections in children and 15% of infections in adults. A causative agent may not be isolated in approximately half of cases despite careful testing.The term pneumonia is sometimes more broadly applied to any condition resulting in inflammation of the lungs (caused for example by autoimmune diseases, chemical burns or drug reactions); however, this inflammation is more accurately referred to as pneumonitis.Factors that predispose to pneumonia include smoking, immunodeficiency, alcoholism, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, asthma, chronic kidney disease, liver disease, and old age. Additional risk in children include not being breastfeed, exposure to cigarettes or air pollution, malnutrition, and poverty. The use of acid-suppressing medications – such as proton-pump inhibitors or H2 blockers – is associated with an increased risk of pneumonia. Approximately 10% of people who require mechanical ventilation develop ventilator associated pneumonia, and people with gastric feeding tube have an increased risk of developing of aspiration pneumonia. For people with specific variants of FER gene, the risk of death is reduced in sepsis caused by pneumonia. However, for those with TLR6 variants, the risk of getting Legionnaires' disease is increased. |
What is the United States busiest commercial port? | Southern California is also home to the Port of Los Angeles, the United States' busiest commercial port; the adjacent Port of Long Beach, the United States' second busiest container port; and the Port of San Diego. |
Which person is the buyer gifting the product to? | I guess I don't have to add much here considering all the excellent reviews on this bottle. Everyone has managed to say what I would have said. So I'll just reiterate on what is most important and that's quality. This is a very sturdy, solid feeling bottle which does everything as described in the ad. It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. I'm impressed and very, very pleased! Excellent product. |
What has the development of molecular genetics brought to light? | More recently, evidence for common descent has come from the study of biochemical similarities between organisms. For example, all living cells use the same basic set of nucleotides and amino acids. The development of molecular genetics has revealed the record of evolution left in organisms' genomes: dating when species diverged through the molecular clock produced by mutations. For example, these DNA sequence comparisons have revealed that humans and chimpanzees share 98% of their genomes and analysing the few areas where they differ helps shed light on when the common ancestor of these species existed. |
Who came into contact with Wales after the conquest of England? | Even before the Norman Conquest of England, the Normans had come into contact with Wales. Edward the Confessor had set up the aforementioned Ralph as earl of Hereford and charged him with defending the Marches and warring with the Welsh. In these original ventures, the Normans failed to make any headway into Wales. |
is the product expensive? | The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. I can only fit Le Creuset 5qt Braiser, 5.5qt Round, 3.5qt Round Wide and that's about it. The top 3 shelves are for 8.5" and smaller pots which is pretty dang small. I can't fit my oval skillet (I hung it from a hook on the curl at the top of the rack) but no room for a 3.75qt Covered skillet. The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price. Not sure if I will keep it since 3 shelves remain unusable for me. Too bad, the price was just right. |
If the current DR falls apart what will happen? | If the current DR 'goes down' the current BDR becomes the new DR and a new election takes place to find another BDR. If the new DR then 'goes down' and the original DR is now available, still previously chosen BDR will become DR.DR's exist for the purpose of reducing network traffic by providing a source for routing updates. The DR maintains a complete topology table of the network and sends the updates to the other routers via multicast. All routers in a multi-access network segment will form a slave/master relationship with the DR. They will form adjacencies with the DR and BDR only. Every time a router sends an update, it sends it to the DR and BDR on the multicast address 224.0.0.6. The DR will then send the update out to all other routers in the area, to the multicast address 224.0.0.5. This way all the routers do not have to constantly update each other, and can rather get all their updates from a single source. The use of multicasting further reduces the network load. DRs and BDRs are always setup/elected on OSPF broadcast networks. DR's can also be elected on NBMA (Non-Broadcast Multi-Access) networks such as Frame Relay or ATM. DRs or BDRs are not elected on point-to-point links (such as a point-to-point WAN connection) because the two routers on either sides of the link must become fully adjacent and the bandwidth between them cannot be further optimized. DR and non-DR routers evolve from 2-way to full adjacency relationships by exchanging DD, Request, and Update. |
Within what variable is L constrained according to the space hierarchy theorem? | The time and space hierarchy theorems form the basis for most separation results of complexity classes. For instance, the time hierarchy theorem tells us that P is strictly contained in EXPTIME, and the space hierarchy theorem tells us that L is strictly contained in PSPACE. |
What cooks to perfection in the pan? | I have been wanting one of these cast iron grill pans for a long time, and now i finally have one.I like this pan a lot, and it cooks my steaks to perfection.Will also buy the lid for this pan, as well as the square panini-type press for this pan as well.Was shipped on time, received on time, and in good condition.Great product, great MADE IN USA product!Well done Lodge!,..keep up the good work! |
What is the maiden name of his mother? | Doyle was born on 22 May 1859 at 11 Picardy Place, Edinburgh, Scotland. His father, Charles Altamont Doyle, was born in England, of Irish Catholic descent, and his mother, Mary (née Foley), was Irish Catholic. His parents married in 1855. In 1864 the family dispersed because of Charles's growing alcoholism, and the children were temporarily housed across Edinburgh. In 1867, the family came together again and lived in squalid tenement flats at 3 Sciennes Place. Doyle's father died in 1893, in the Crichton Royal, Dumfries, after many years of psychiatric illness.Supported by wealthy uncles, Doyle was sent to England, at the Jesuit preparatory school Hodder Place, Stonyhurst in Lancashire at the age of nine (1868–70). He then went on to Stonyhurst College until 1875. While Doyle was not unhappy at Stonyhurst, he did not have any fond memories since the school was run on medieval principles, with subjects covering rudiments, rhetoric, Euclidean geometry, algebra and the classics. Doyle commented later in his life that the academic system could only be excused "on the plea that any exercise, however stupid in itself, forms a sort of mental dumbbell by which one can improve one's mind." He also found it harsh, citing that instead of compassion and warmth, it favoured the threat of corporal punishment and ritual humiliation.From 1875 to 1876, he was educated at the Jesuit school Stella Matutina in Feldkirch, Austria. His family decided that he would spend a year there with the objective of perfecting his German and broadening his academic horizons. He later rejected the Catholic faith and became an agnostic. A source attributed his drift away from religion to the time spent in the less strict Austrian school. He also later became a spiritualist mystic. |
Other than Point Conception, what landmark is used in the other definition of southern California? | "Southern California" is not a formal geographic designation, and definitions of what constitutes southern California vary. Geographically, California's north-south midway point lies at exactly 37° 9' 58.23" latitude, around 11 miles (18 km) south of San Jose; however, this does not coincide with popular use of the term. When the state is divided into two areas (northern and southern California), the term "southern California" usually refers to the ten southern-most counties of the state. This definition coincides neatly with the county lines at 35° 47′ 28″ north latitude, which form the northern borders of San Luis Obispo, Kern, and San Bernardino counties. Another definition for southern California uses Point Conception and the Tehachapi Mountains as the northern boundary. |
What comes with the product that are easy to read and follow? | This makes wonderfully delicious, rich, flavorful coffee that is not bitter. What else can you want? It's great that it comes with filters (we use each filter twice). The directions are really clear and simple to follow. We heat the water in an electric kettle that has temperature control, which is extremely helpful (as the directions tell you what temperature the water should be). My husband loves a single cup of coffee after dinner, and this is just perfect. It brews directly into the coffee cup and clean up is easy. We don't really use the tote bag. |
What did early network designers do? | Early network designers often segmented physical LANs with the aim of reducing the size of the Ethernet collision domain—thus improving performance. When Ethernet switches made this a non-issue (because each switch port is a collision domain), attention turned to reducing the size of the data link layer broadcast domain. VLANs were first employed to separate several broadcast domains across one physical medium. A VLAN can also serve to restrict access to network resources without regard to physical topology of the network.VLANs operate at the data link layer of the OSI model. Administrators often configure a VLAN to map directly to an IP network, or subnet, which gives the appearance of involving the network layer. Generally, VLANs within the same organization will be assigned different non-overlapping network address ranges. This is not a requirement of VLANs. There is no issue with separate VLANs using identical overlapping address ranges (e.g. two VLANs each use the private network 192.168.0.0/16). However, it is not possible to route data between two networks with overlapping addresses without delicate IP remapping, so if the goal of VLANs is segmentation of a larger overall organizational network, non-overlapping addresses must be used in each separate VLAN. |
What was Fecamp Abby the center of? | Normandy was the site of several important developments in the history of classical music in the 11th century. Fécamp Abbey and Saint-Evroul Abbey were centres of musical production and education. At Fécamp, under two Italian abbots, William of Volpiano and John of Ravenna, the system of denoting notes by letters was developed and taught. It is still the most common form of pitch representation in English- and German-speaking countries today. Also at Fécamp, the staff, around which neumes were oriented, was first developed and taught in the 11th century. Under the German abbot Isembard, La Trinité-du-Mont became a centre of musical composition. |
What does the black rubber in the middle do? | As I've gotten into home mixology, I've realized that I need proper tools. This OXO double jigger fits the bill perfectly!Each side has three very clearly marked increments for very precise measurements. While it may sound silly, the black rubber in the middle really does improve grip substantially. This is also dishwasher safe. I typically keep it tucked away, but while out, this is a very nice looking piece of equipment, perfectly matching many other items like myOXO Good Grips Steel Cocktail Shaker(also highly recommended).Perfect execution on a necessary bar tool at a wonderful price. A real must-buy! |
what did Palin state? | Palin lived in Juneau during the legislative session and lived in Wasilla and worked out of offices in Anchorage the rest of the year. Since the office in Anchorage is 565 miles from Juneau, while she worked there, state officials said she was permitted to claim a $58 per diem travel allowance, which she took (a total of $16,951), and to reimbursement for hotels, which she did not, choosing instead to drive about 50 miles to her home in Wasilla. She elected not to use the former governor's private chef. Republicans and Democrats criticized Palin for taking the per diem and $43,490 in travel expenses on occasions when her family accompanied her on state business. Palin's staffers responded that these practices were in line with state policy, that her gubernatorial expenses were 80% below those of Murkowski, her predecessor, and that "many of the hundreds of invitations Palin receives include requests for her to bring her family, placing the definition of 'state business' with the party extending the invitation." In February 2009, the State of Alaska, reversing a policy that had treated the payments as legitimate business expenses under the Internal Revenue Code, decided that per diems paid to state employees for stays in their own homes will be treated as taxable income and will be included in employees' gross income on their W-2 forms. Palin herself had ordered the review of the tax policy.In December 2008, an Alaska state commission recommended increasing the governor's annual salary from $125,000 to $150,000. Palin stated that she would not accept the pay raise. In response, the commission dropped the recommendation. |
How many times did southern California attempt to achieve a separate statehood? | Subsequently, Californios (dissatisfied with inequitable taxes and land laws) and pro-slavery southerners in the lightly populated "Cow Counties" of southern California attempted three times in the 1850s to achieve a separate statehood or territorial status separate from Northern California. The last attempt, the Pico Act of 1859, was passed by the California State Legislature and signed by the State governor John B. Weller. It was approved overwhelmingly by nearly 75% of voters in the proposed Territory of Colorado. This territory was to include all the counties up to the then much larger Tulare County (that included what is now Kings, most of Kern, and part of Inyo counties) and San Luis Obispo County. The proposal was sent to Washington, D.C. with a strong advocate in Senator Milton Latham. However, the secession crisis following the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 led to the proposal never coming to a vote. |
What is the item made out of? | I love this item. It is perfect and beautiful. The best part is, its plastic. First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. With this cake plate I don't have to worry about it being too heavy or shattering under little hands.Its perfect for displaying your baked creations on the dining room table or you want to take your treats pool side. This is ideal for parties - desserts, crudites, cheese platters, trifle and so much more. I must admit though I don't think I would use it for punch. I tested it with water and it seems fine but with my rambunctious crew its not the smartest move.Perfect for mom with little ones who love to bake. |
What section was created for orthopaedics specifically? | Treatment through the 1940s primarily consisted of exercise, massage, and traction. Manipulative procedures to the spine and extremity joints began to be practiced, especially in the British Commonwealth countries, in the early 1950s. Around the time that polio vaccines were developed, physical therapists became a normal occurrence in hospitals throughout North America and Europe. In the late 1950s, physical therapists started to move beyond hospital-based practice to outpatient orthopedic clinics, public schools, colleges/universities health-centres, geriatric settings (skilled nursing facilities), rehabilitation centers and medical centers. Specialization for physical therapy in the U.S. occurred in 1974, with the Orthopaedic Section of the APTA being formed for those physical therapists specializing in orthopaedics. In the same year, the International Federation of Orthopaedic Manipulative Physical Therapists was formed, which has ever since played an important role in advancing manual therapy worldwide. |
If input size is is equal to n, what can respectively be assumed is the function of n? | If the input size is n, the time taken can be expressed as a function of n. Since the time taken on different inputs of the same size can be different, the worst-case time complexity T(n) is defined to be the maximum time taken over all inputs of size n. If T(n) is a polynomial in n, then the algorithm is said to be a polynomial time algorithm. Cobham's thesis says that a problem can be solved with a feasible amount of resources if it admits a polynomial time algorithm. |
How much water does the reviewer add to a beef roast? | I am quite mystified at the terrible reviews this crock pot has recieved. I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago and we have used it numerous times to cook many things and have never once had any issues with it. I bought this smaller round one at a local department store and it performs just as well as the larger one.The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water. Meats and vegetables produce their own moisture when cooking inside a crock so adjust the water you add accordingly. For instance, when I make a beef roast I only add about a third cup of water. Naturally the crock is going to get hot because it has to cook the food over an extended period of time, especially if you set it for 4 or 6 hours on the HIGH setting.Keep in mind that not all reviews are accurate. You can get a product that has poor reviews and discover it's an awesome product. The reason for this is that quite often people will simply not read the directions or display any common sense when using the product. I do not mean to make others sound bad, but this has been my experience when purchasing products online (or anywhere for that matter). |
Fungi is one of the things that is abundant and diverse in which country? | Ukraine is home to a diverse assemblage of animals, fungi, microorganisms and plants. |
What kind of economy did northern California start to grow in the 2000s? | As of the 2010 United States Census, southern California has a population of 22,680,010. Despite a reputation for high growth rates, southern California's rate grew less than the state average of 10.0% in the 2000s as California's growth became concentrated in the northern part of the state due to a stronger, tech-oriented economy in the Bay Area and an emerging Greater Sacramento region. |
What is the best feature | Again, when I decided to look for a toaster, it must be practical and the price would be reasonable,too. I found this product which my husband liked, too because of the oven feature! The only thing is that they should try to consider putting a timer for the oven, like any other oven toasters out there for convenience...because you really need to watch over it while in use. Otherwise, for the first reason I bought it does a good job! It's a space saver plus I got a good deal on it since I used the "super saver" for shipping and an addtional discount if you spend more...$125 more so I decided to get other new appliances for my kitchen, I needed it anyway... |
Samoa participated in the World cup, Pacific Nations Cup, and what other tournament? | Rugby union is the national sport in Samoa and the national team, nicknamed the Manu Samoa, is consistently competitive against teams from vastly more populous nations. Samoa has competed at every Rugby World Cup since 1991, and made the quarter finals in 1991, 1995 and the second round of the 1999 World Cup. At the 2003 world cup, Manu Samoa came close to beating eventual world champions, England. Samoa also played in the Pacific Nations Cup and the Pacific Tri-Nations. The sport is governed by the Samoa Rugby Football Union, who are members of the Pacific Islands Rugby Alliance, and thus, also contribute to the international Pacific Islanders rugby union team. |
What is the example of another problem characterized by large instances that is routinely solved by SAT handlers employing efficient algorithms? | What intractability means in practice is open to debate. Saying that a problem is not in P does not imply that all large cases of the problem are hard or even that most of them are. For example, the decision problem in Presburger arithmetic has been shown not to be in P, yet algorithms have been written that solve the problem in reasonable times in most cases. Similarly, algorithms can solve the NP-complete knapsack problem over a wide range of sizes in less than quadratic time and SAT solvers routinely handle large instances of the NP-complete Boolean satisfiability problem. |
How much counter space does these people have in their living space? | we live in an apartment with limited counter space and we've recently started eating healthier. We've been including a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables in our diet. This basket works perfectly to keep our fruit organized and keep a lot of the counter space clean. The spacing of the basket is small enough that it doesn't bruise our fruits and the banana hanger is perfect. The heftiness of the basket will support a good sized bunch even if there aren't loads of fruit in the basket. We tend to keep our tomatoes out on the counter so they always go on top since the fridge ruins the flavor. The item came in no time flat and it's been a wonderful addition to our tiny kitchen |
What country's cricket team scored 40 wickets against them? | At the height of his career, in 1982, the thirty-year-old Khan took over the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team from Javed Miandad. As a captain, Khan played 48 Test matches, of which 14 were won by Pakistan, 8 lost and the remaining 26 were drawn. He also played 139 ODIs, winning 77, losing 57 and ending one in a tie.In the team's second match, Khan led them to their first Test win on English soil for 28 years at Lord's. Khan's first year as captain was the peak of his legacy as a fast bowler as well as an all-rounder. He recorded the best Test bowling of his career while taking 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore in 1981–1982. He also topped both the bowling and batting averages against England in three Test series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and averaging 56 with the bat. Later the same year, he put up a highly acknowledged performance in a home series against the formidable Indian team by taking 40 wickets in six Tests at an average of 13.95. By the end of this series in 1982–1983, Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over a period of one year as captain. This same Test series against India, however, also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin that kept him out of cricket for more than two years. An experimental treatment funded by the Pakistani government helped him recover by the end of 1984 and he made a successful comeback to international cricket in the latter part of the 1984–1985 season.In India in 1987, Khan led Pakistan in its first-ever Test series win and this was followed by Pakistan's first series victory in England during the same year. During the 1980s, his team also recorded three creditable draws against the West Indies. India and Pakistan co-hosted the 1987 Cricket World Cup, but neither ventured beyond the semi-finals. Khan retired from international cricket at the end of the World Cup. In 1988, he was asked to return to the captaincy by the President of Pakistan, General Zia-Ul-Haq, and on 18 January, he announced his decision to rejoin the team. Soon after returning to the captaincy, Khan led Pakistan to another winning tour in the West Indies, which he has recounted as "the last time I really bowled well". He was declared Man of the Series against West Indies in 1988 when he took 23 wickets in 3 Tests. Khan's career-high as a captain and cricketer came when he led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Playing with a brittle batting line-up, Khan promoted himself as a batsman to play in the top order along with Javed Miandad, but his contribution as a bowler was minimal. At the age of 39, Khan took the winning last wicket himself. |
When was Sky Digital launched? | When Sky Digital was launched in 1998 the new service used the Astra 2A satellite which was located at the 28.5°E orbital position, unlike the analogue service which was broadcast from 19.2°E. This was subsequently followed by more Astra satellites as well as Eutelsat's Eurobird 1 (now Eutelsat 33C) at 28.5°E), enabled the company to launch a new all-digital service, Sky, with the potential to carry hundreds of television and radio channels. The old position was shared with broadcasters from several European countries, while the new position at 28.5°E came to be used almost exclusively for channels that broadcast to the United Kingdom. |
What separate item does it come with? | I enjoy using this vacuum. I like that it comes with a separate canister vac instead of having on-board tools, as most current vacuums have. I have the freedoms to use the mini canister vac for quick kitchen, or to extend to my volume ceiling, without having to drag around the bulk of the big vac. Having the separate mini vac also makes the upright lighter than other uprights. The upright is very powerful. The only glitch I have is that the on/off button is at the top of the handle, close enough that I have on occasion managed to turn it off while manipulating around and under furniture. |
Since when has there been women's professional soccer championships? | The major international competition in football is the World Cup, organised by FIFA. This competition takes place every four years since 1930 with the exception of 1942 and 1946 tournaments, which were cancelled due to World War II. Approximately 190–200 national teams compete in qualifying tournaments within the scope of continental confederations for a place in the finals. The finals tournament, which is held every four years, involves 32 national teams competing over a four-week period. The World Cup is the most prestigious association football tournament in the world as well as the most widely viewed and followed sporting event in the world, exceeding even the Olympic Games; the cumulative audience of all matches of the 2006 FIFA World Cup was estimated to be 26.29 billion with an estimated 715.1 million people watching the final match, a ninth of the entire population of the planet. The current champion is France, which won its second title at the 2018 tournament in Russia. FIFA Women's World Cup has been held every four years since 1991. Under the tournament's current format, national teams vie for 23 slots in a three-year qualification phase. (The host nation's team is automatically entered as the 24th slot.) The current champion is the United States, after winning their third title in the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup. |
What architecture type came before Norman in England? | In England, the period of Norman architecture immediately succeeds that of the Anglo-Saxon and precedes the Early Gothic. In southern Italy, the Normans incorporated elements of Islamic, Lombard, and Byzantine building techniques into their own, initiating a unique style known as Norman-Arab architecture within the Kingdom of Sicily. |
what are the sides of this mattress cover like? | I've tried so many mattress covers and found they're either noisy or cause my sheets to not fit correctly. I found neither of these a problem with this cover. The top layer is like a terry cloth towel and the sides are a mesh like material. It fit our king size mattress perfectly and my sheets slid on without a problem. I'm planning to purchase more for my children's twin beds. We have cheap covers on those at the moment and their sheets are always sliding up. I haven't tested the water resistant factor, and hopefully won't have to. With that said I think it could handle a minor spill, but honestly anything but a plastic cover isn't going to protect 100%. I for one refuse to sleep on plastic so hopefully this will help prolong the life of my new mattress.Update: Puppy barfed on our bed, and this cover did an excellent job of protecting our treasured mattress. |
What landmark did the artisans work on? | Deir el-Medina (Egyptian Arabic: دير المدينة), or Dayr al-Madīnah, is an ancient Egyptian village which was home to the artisans who worked on the tombs in the Valley of the Kings during the 18th to 20th dynasties of the New Kingdom of Egypt (ca. 1550–1080 BCE) The settlement's ancient name was Set maat "The Place of Truth", and the workmen who lived there were called "Servants in the Place of Truth". During the Christian era, the temple of Hathor was converted into a church from which the Egyptian Arabic name Deir el-Medina ("the monastery of the town") is derived.At the time when the world's press was concentrating on Howard Carter's discovery of the Tomb of Tutankhamun in 1922, a team led by Bernard Bruyère began to excavate the site. |
What are two examples of different types of reduction? | Many complexity classes are defined using the concept of a reduction. A reduction is a transformation of one problem into another problem. It captures the informal notion of a problem being at least as difficult as another problem. For instance, if a problem X can be solved using an algorithm for Y, X is no more difficult than Y, and we say that X reduces to Y. There are many different types of reductions, based on the method of reduction, such as Cook reductions, Karp reductions and Levin reductions, and the bound on the complexity of reductions, such as polynomial-time reductions or log-space reductions. |
Can you brew with one touch using the Vue? | I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down. |
What mathematician proved it? | The divergence of the harmonic series was proven by the medieval mathematician Nicole Oresme. |
What does CDB include? | Southern California is home to many major business districts. Central business districts (CBD) include Downtown Los Angeles, Downtown San Diego, Downtown San Bernardino, Downtown Bakersfield, South Coast Metro and Downtown Riverside. |
what temperature was the water? | The Primula Coffee Brew Buddy Single Cup Coffee Maker promises convenience and that it delivers. But I'd also like a decent cup o' joe, thank you. I tried this with my favorite French Roast expecting this to be like the "socks" popular in Latin America. I used what I thought was a generous measure and was careful that my water was boiling hot. I poured as slowly as I could, but this is more of soaked coffee than drip coffee so my coffee (after repeated tries) tastes as muddy as a camping trip.Think this might be great for brewing tea, so I'll hang on to it for the next time I'm sick |
QoS applications require what two things to work properly? | One compelling example of the need for QoS on the Internet relates to congestive collapse. The Internet relies on congestion avoidance protocols, as built into Transmission Control Protocol (TCP), to reduce traffic under conditions that would otherwise lead to "meltdown". QoS applications, such as VoIP and IPTV, require largely constant bitrates and low latency, therefore they cannot use TCP and cannot otherwise reduce their traffic rate to help prevent congestion. QoS contracts limit traffic that can be offered to the Internet and thereby enforce traffic shaping that can prevent it from becoming overloaded, and are hence an indispensable part of the Internet's ability to handle a mix of real-time and non-real-time traffic without meltdown. |
What name comes from the English words Normans/Normanz? | The English name "Normans" comes from the French words Normans/Normanz, plural of Normant, modern French normand, which is itself borrowed from Old Low Franconian Nortmann "Northman" or directly from Old Norse Norðmaðr, Latinized variously as Nortmannus, Normannus, or Nordmannus (recorded in Medieval Latin, 9th century) to mean "Norseman, Viking". |
Is it convenient? | I have always kept a dustbuster in my kitchen for quick clean ups. They are always charged. Not with this new 18 volt model. Not only does is not have much suction power, you can't keep the battery plugged in so it is always charged and ready to go. If you don't use it for 4-5 days, the charge depletes! So then you have to recharge it for 14-16 hours. Not convenient at all. So I returned the dustbuster. I then ordered a Eureka that works great and can be left plugged in, permanently. The model number is H96. It is not as large as it looks in the photos and is a great buy; not to mention it costs less than the inefficient new dustbusters. The new dustbuster models are now just cheap knock offs of the original great machines. Black and Decker in their attempt to make a higher profit by cheapening a previously great product, destroyed a really good thing.I strongly recommend the Eureka below:Eureka Quick Up Cordless 2 in 1, 96Hproduct. |
What was the length of duration the band spent creating the album? | Linkin Park returned to the recording studios in 2006 to work on new material. To produce the album, the band chose producer Rick Rubin. Despite initially stating the album would debut sometime in 2006, the album was delayed until 2007. The band had recorded thirty to fifty songs in August 2006, when Shinoda stated the album was halfway completed. Bennington later added that the new album would stray away from its previous nu metal sound. Warner Bros. Records officially announced that the band's third studio album, titled Minutes to Midnight, would be released on May 15, 2007 in the United States. After spending fourteen months working on the album, the band members opted to further refine their album by removing five of the original seventeen tracks. The album's title, a reference to the Doomsday Clock, foreshadowed the band's new lyrical themes. Minutes to Midnight sold over 625,000 copies in its first week, making it one of the most successful debut week albums in recent years. The album also took the top spot on the Billboard Charts. |
