of her childhood she spent in the Independence Inn in Stars Hollow where her mother worked originally as a maid . The two lived in the potting shed behind the inn where Jackson 's cousin Rune lived in later seasons . Eventually , Lorelai was able to buy a nice house where Rory spent her adolescent years . Rory did not have much contact with her grandparents until she started to attend Chilton , which Lorelai preferred . </P> <H2> Storylines ( edit ) </H2> <P> Rory dreams of studying at Harvard University and gets accepted into the prestigious and fictional Chilton Academy , where she stays for her sophomore , junior , and senior years of high school . To pay tuition , Lorelai asks for the money from her estranged wealthy parents , Richard and Emily . They agree to pay for Rory 's education on the condition that the two come to their house every Friday night for dinner . Before leaving Stars Hollow High School , Rory meets Dean Forester . Rory almost convinced herself not to go to Chilton because of not wanting to leave Dean , but after learning of the huge sacrifices her mother made , she decides to go to Chilton . Rory and Dean date for two seasons , only breaking up once when Dean told Rory he loved her on their 3 - month anniversary , and she replied that she would have to think about it , but they eventually reconcile . Dean escorts Rory when she is presented to society at a debutante ball hosted by her grandmother 's chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution . During her time at Chilton , Rory becomes engaged in a feud with close academic rival , Paris Geller . Though the two later become friends , the rivalry continues into their university studies . Rory reluctantly runs for student government with Paris and wins , and writes for the Chilton paper , The Franklin . </P> <P> When she meets Jess Mariano , Rory feels an immediate attraction . They become friends first , but start to date after Dean breaks up with Rory because he sees that Rory likes Jess . However , various problems make their relationship difficult . After Jess skips school to go to work at Walmart , causing him to be unable to graduate or to take Rory to Prom , Jess decides to leave to go to California to see his estranged father , effectively breaking up with Rory . Jess does not tell Rory he is leaving , but later calls and does not say anything on the phone , until Rory caught on that it was him and revealed that she might have loved him but would just have to get over it . Later that year , still upset , Jess returns and tells Rory that he loves her and then leaves again . </P> <P> After graduating Chilton as valedictorian and with a 4.2 GPA , Rory goes on to attend Yale University , her grandfather 's alma mater , in season four , although her entire life she had wanted to go to Harvard , having decided that the benefits of Yale outweighed her dream of studying at Harvard . During her freshman year , Rory resides at Durfee Hall and shares a dorm room with Tana , Janet , and fellow Chilton alumna Paris Geller . She moves to Branford College , the same residential college that her grandfather , Richard Gilmore , lived in , at the beginning of her sophomore year . There she shares a dorm room with Paris . At Yale , Rory majors in English and pursues her interest in journalism ; she wants to be a foreign correspondent and her role - model is Christiane Amanpour . She writes for the Yale Daily News and is its editor towards the end of her studies . </P> <P> While at Yale , Rory reconnects with Dean , who married Lindsay ( a fellow school mate ) , straight after high school , but it is soon clear that he impulsively did it as a rebound from Rory . During the same period , Jess shows up at Yale to see Rory unexpectedly , and asks her to run away with him , but she refuses . Dean gets jealous but he and Rory grow closer and have an affair , during which Rory loses her virginity . Lorelai is angry and disappointed in Rory , who decides to leave for Europe with her grandmother for the summer to avoid conflicts . Shortly after , Dean separates from Lindsay and the two continue seeing each other . </P> <P> Meanwhile , Rory makes the acquaintance of the heir to the Huntzberger Publishing Company , Logan Huntzberger . She soon becomes interested in him and after Dean breaks up with her ( she was detained at a party arranged by her grandparents to introduce her to the wealthy and eligible sons of their Yale alumni friends , including Logan ) , she makes the first move at her grandparents ' vow - renewal . Their relationship begins casually as a `` no strings attached '' affair , because Logan makes it clear that he does not want to commit to a relationship . However , as time passes , Rory grows dissatisfied with their open relationship , and after a day of drunken introspection , she suggests they should end their sexual relationship and be friends because she is `` a girlfriend kind of girl . '' Logan interprets this as an ultimatum and unexpectedly agrees to date her exclusively . At her first time to dinner at Logan 's family home , the Huntzbergers reject Rory as a fit girlfriend for their son because of her aspirations to work and her background . However , Logan affirms his commitment to their relationship , although the pressure exerted by the Huntzbergers continues to dog the couple . </P> <P> To make amends , Logan 's father , Mitchum

Few historians would argue the territory was intended for a southern transcontinental railroad . </P> 1833 Eagle Map of the U.S. <H2> Since 1853 ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Alaska ( edit ) </H3> <P> Alaska Purchase from the Russian Empire for $7.2 million ( 2 cents per acre ) on March 30 , 1867 ( equivalent to $126 million in present - day terms ) , as a vital refueling station for ships trading with Asia . The land went through several administrative changes before becoming an organized territory on May 11 , 1912 , and the 49th state of the U.S. on January 3 , 1959 . </P> <H3> Hawaii ( edit ) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Td> <P> Hawaii and Outlying Islands </P> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> <Ul> <Li> <P> In 1959 , 94 % of Hawaii 's residents voted to relinquish all land claims ( proposition 2 ) to the United States and become a state . </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Today 's United States Minor Outlying Islands excluding Caribbean </P> </Li> </Ul> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> The Kingdom of Hawaii was closely linked by missionary work and trade to the U.S. by the 1880s . In 1893 business leaders overthrew the Queen of Hawaii and sought annexation . President Grover Cleveland strongly disapproved , so Hawaii set up an independent republic , the Republic of Hawaii . Southern Democrats in Congress strongly opposed a non-white addition . President William McKinley , a Republican , secured a Congressional resolution in 1898 , and the small republic joined the U.S. All its citizens became full U.S. citizens . One factor was the need for advanced naval bases to fend off Japanese ambitions . The Hawaiian Islands officially became an incorporated territory of the U.S. in 1900 . Following 94 % voter approval of the Admission of Hawaii Act , on August 21 , 1959 the Territory of Hawaii became the state of Hawaii , the 50th state . </P> <P> With Hawaii came two remote coral atolls : the Palmyra Atoll which had been annexed by the U.S. in 1859 , abandoned , then claimed in 1862 by the Kingdom of Hawaii , and the Stewart Islands , which had joined the Kingdom a few years before Palmyra . At Hawaiian statehood in 1959 , Palmyra and arguably the Stewarts were excluded from the new state . Palmyra remained an incorporated U.S. territory , while the Stewarts were claimed and are now controlled by the Solomon Islands . </P> <H3> Spanish colonies ( edit ) </H3> Post-Spanish -- American War map of `` Greater America '' . Main article : Spanish -- American War <P> Puerto Rico , Guam , and the Philippines ( for which the United States compensated Spain $20 million , equivalent to $588 million in present - day terms ) , were ceded by Spain after the Spanish -- American War in the 1898 Treaty of Paris . Spain relinquished all claim of sovereignty over Cuba , but did not cede it to the United States , so it became a protectorate . All four of these areas were under United States Military Government ( USMG ) for extended periods . Cuba became an independent nation in 1902 , and the Philippines became an independent nation in 1946 . </P> <P> This era also saw the first scattered protests against American imperialism . Noted Americans such as Mark Twain spoke out forcefully against these ventures . Opponents of the war , including Twain and Andrew Carnegie , organized themselves into the American Anti-Imperialist League . </P> <P> During this same period the American people continued to strongly chastise the European powers for their imperialism . The Second Boer War was especially unpopular in the United States and soured Anglo - American relations . The anti-imperialist press would often draw parallels between the U.S. in the Philippines and the British in the Second Boer War . </P> Cuba ( edit ) <P> Under the 1898 Treaty of Paris , Spain relinquished all claim of sovereignty over and title to Cuba , with the island to be occupied by the United States . Under the Teller Amendment Congress had already decided against annexation . Cuba gained formal independence on 20 May 1902 . Under the new Cuban constitution , however , the U.S. retained the right to intervene in Cuban affairs and to supervise its finances and foreign relations through the Platt Amendment ; this , however , was later renounced as part of Franklin Roosevelt 's Good Neighbor Policy . Under the Platt Amendment ( 1901 ) , Cuba also agreed to lease to the U.S. the naval base at Guantánamo Bay . </P> <P> The naval base occupies land which the United States leased from Cuba in 1903 `` ... for the time required for the purposes of coaling and naval stations . '' The two governments later agreed that , `` So long as the United States of America shall not abandon the said naval station of Guantanamo or the two Governments shall not agree to a modification of its present limits , the station shall continue to have the territorial area that it now has , with the limits that it has on the date of the signature of the present Treaty . '' </P> Puerto Rico ( edit ) <P> 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 . The U.S. granted Puerto Ricans the right to democratically elect their own governor in 1948 . In 1950 , the Truman Administration allowed for a democratic referendum in Puerto Rico to determine whether Puerto Ricans desired to draft their own local constitution without

The National Football Conference ( NFC ) champion Philadelphia Eagles defeated the American Football Conference ( AFC ) and defending Super Bowl LI champion New England Patriots , 41 -- 33 , to win their first Super Bowl and their first NFL title since 1960 . The game was played on February 4 , 2018 , at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis , Minnesota . This was the second time that a Super Bowl was played in Minneapolis , the northernmost city to ever host the event , after Super Bowl XXVI at the Metrodome during the 1991 season , and the sixth Super Bowl held in a cold - weather city . </P> <P> New England finished the regular season with an AFC - best 13 -- 3 record , then extended their record Super Bowl appearances to ten , their third in four years , and their eighth under the leadership of head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady . Philadelphia also finished the regular season with an NFC - best 13 -- 3 record , a year after Dallas did it in 2016 , but became underdogs entering the playoffs after starting quarterback Carson Wentz suffered a season - ending injury late in the regular season and was replaced by journeyman backup Nick Foles . Still , the Eagles advanced to their third Super Bowl appearance , having previously lost to the Oakland Raiders in Super Bowl XV and to the Patriots in Super Bowl XXXIX . </P> <P> Several records were set during Super Bowl LII , including most yards gained in an NFL game by both teams combined ( 1,151 ) , the fewest punts from both teams in a Super Bowl ( one ) , and the most points scored by a Super Bowl losing team ( 33 ) . The game was settled after the Eagles converted a fumble recovery deep within Patriots territory to a field goal with 1 : 05 remaining to extend their lead to eight points , and Brady 's Hail Mary pass fell incomplete as time expired . Foles , who completed 28 of 43 pass attempts for 373 yards and three touchdowns with one interception , and caught a one - yard touchdown pass , was named Super Bowl MVP . Foles ' touchdown catch later became known as The Philly Special and joined NFL lore . </P> <P> The broadcast of the game on NBC had the smallest Super Bowl audience in nine years , with an average of 103.4 million viewers . Average TV viewership for the halftime show , headlined by Justin Timberlake , was 106.6 million American television viewers , 9 percent less than the previous year . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Host - city selection </Li> <Li> 1.2 Teams <Ul> <Li> 1.2. 1 Philadelphia Eagles </Li> <Li> 1.2. 2 New England Patriots </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 1.3 Playoffs </Li> <Li> 1.4 Pre-game notes <Ul> <Li> 1.4. 1 Operations </Li> <Li> 1.4. 2 Associated events </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Broadcasting <Ul> <Li> 2.1 United States <Ul> <Li> 2.1. 1 Advertising </Li> <Li> 2.1. 2 Lead - out programs </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2.2 International broadcasts </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Entertainment <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Pre-game </Li> <Li> 3.2 Halftime show </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Game

Disney says that each episode has the characters help children `` solve a specific age - appropriate problem utilizing basic math skills , such as identifying shapes and counting through ten . '' The series uses `` Disney Junior 's ' whole child ' curriculum of cognitive , social and creative learning opportunities . '' Once the problem of the episode has been explained , Mickey invites viewers to join him at the Mousekadoer , a giant Mickey - head - shaped computer whose main function is to distribute the day 's Mouseketools , a collection of objects needed to solve the day 's problem , to Mickey , one of them being a `` Mystery Mouskatool '' represented by a question mark , which , when the words `` Mystery Mouskatool '' are said , and the question mark change into the The Mouseketool you get to use . Once the tools have been shown to Mickey on the Mousekadoer screen , they are quickly downloaded to Toodles , a small , Mickey - head - shaped flying extension of the Mousekedoer . By calling , `` Oh Toodles ! '' Mickey summons him to pop up from where he is hiding and fly up to the screen so the viewer can pick which tool Mickey needs for the current situation . The show features two original songs performed by American alternative rock band They Might Be Giants , including the opening theme song , in which a variant of a Mickey Mouse Club chant ( `` Meeska Mooska Mickey Mouse ! '' ) is used to summon the Clubhouse . They Might Be Giants also perform the song used at the end of the show , `` Hot Dog !

sense of right and wrong or a criminal collaborating with Quinn to get revenge on Bruce . The former has Batman briefly working with Joker to fights off the Agency , until he kidnaps and attempts to kill Waller . However , the latter has Joker and Harley terrorizing the city with LOTUS and forcing Bruce into a demented game , pitting him against his allies . Regardless of the path , Bruce learns that Tiffany murdered Riddler to avenge her father and he eventually defeats Joker . Following Joker 's capture , Waller orders the Agency to leave Gotham and promises not to reveal Bruce 's identity . As Batman , Bruce confronts Tiffany , leading to her either leaving to work for the Agency , joining him in his crusade against crime , escaping to become a fugitive , or being handed over to the authorities for murder . Returning to the manor , Bruce learns that Alfred has decided to leave Gotham to return home , having been struggling to continue since he was kidnapped by Lady Arkham . After a heated discussion , Bruce either decides to leave the life of vigilantism behind to convince Alfred to stay or allows him to leave whilst he continues to operate as Batman . </P> <P> In a post credits scene , Joker is shown to have been returned to Arkham Asylum . If he was a vigilante , he is either visited by Bruce or decides to become the hero 's archenemy .

( April 2018 ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> Batman : The Enemy Within received generally positive reviews from critics , some of which considered it an improvement over its predecessor , earning praise for its story , choices , action sequences , and portrayal of the Batman mythos . The game won the award for `` Performance in a Drama , Supporting '' with Debra Wilson at the 17th Annual National Academy of Video Game Trade Reviewers Awards , whereas its other nomination was for `` Game , Franchise Adventure '' . </P> <P> Many reviewers praised the game 's unique depiction of the Joker , with the player being given the opportunity to try to prevent him from becoming a villain . For example , Scott Maslow from GQ was happily surprised by this version of the Joker and said it managed to make `` Batman 's most overexposed villain '' interesting again : `` The Joker has always said his past is multiple - choice , but this is the first time I 've felt like I was the one checking the boxes . '' Bradley Shankar from MobileSyrup was especially positive with a review titled `` Batman : The Enemy Within offers one of the greatest Joker stories ever told '' . He explained : `` ... while there have been numerous great interpretations of the Batman - Joker relationship over the years , there has never been one quite as complex and morally grey as what Telltale has created with The Enemy Within '' . Tamoor Hussain from GameSpot gave the final episode a 9 / 10 , concluding : `` While Telltale 's first Batman season stuck a bit too close to established mythos and delivered an underwhelming ending , the second is a memorable Joker origin story that Bat - fans should make a point of playing . '' Stephanie Chan from VentureBeat was slightly less enthusiastic but still gave the game a score of 80 / 100 and said : `` By the end of the series , I 'll say that Batman : The Enemy Within has tentatively won me over . That 's purely on the strength of the relationship between Batman and The Joker .

Nuclear power in space - wikipedia <H1> Nuclear power in space </H1> Jump to : navigation , search The KIWI A prime nuclear thermal rocket engine Mars rover powered by a RTG on Mars <P> Nuclear power in space is the use of nuclear power in outer space , typically either small fission systems or radioactive decay for electricity or heat . Another use is for scientific observation , as in a Mössbauer spectrometer . One common type is a radioisotope thermoelectric generator , which has been used on many space probes and on manned lunar missions , and another is small fission reactors for Earth observation satellites such as the TOPAZ nuclear reactor . A radioisotope heater unit provides heat from radioactive decay of a material and can potentially produce heat for decades . </P> <P> Russia has sent about 40 reactors into space and its TOPAZ - II reactor can produce 10 kilowatts . The Romashka reactor family uses uranium and direct thermoelectric conversion to electricity , rather than using a heated fluid to drive a turbine . The United States tested a nuclear reactor in space for 43 days in 1965 . While not yet tested in space , the test of the Demonstration Using Flattop Fission ( DUFF ) on September 13 , 2012 was the first test of a nuclear reactor power system for space since then . </P> <P> Examples of nuclear power for space propulsion systems include nuclear electric rocket ( nuclear electric propulsion ) , radioisotope rocket , and radioisotope electric propulsion ( REP ) . One of the more explored is the nuclear thermal rocket , which was tested in the NERVA program . See also Category : Nuclear spacecraft propulsion ( category link ) .

Solar cells , although efficient , can only supply energy to spacecraft in orbits where the solar flux is sufficiently high , such as low Earth orbit and interplanetary destinations close enough to the Sun . Unlike solar cells , nuclear power systems function independently of sunlight , which is necessary for deep space exploration . Nuclear reactors are especially beneficial in space because of their lower weight - to - capacity ratio than solar cells . Therefore , nuclear power systems take up much less space than solar power systems . Compact spacecraft are easier to orient and direct in space when precision is needed .

RTGs offer many benefits ; they are relatively safe and maintenance - free , are resilient under harsh conditions , and can operate for decades . RTGs are particularly desirable for use in parts of space where solar power is not a viable power source . Dozens of RTGs have been implemented to power 25 different US spacecraft , some of which have been operating for more than 20 years . Over 40 radioisotope thermoelectric generators have been used globally ( principally US and USSR ) on space missions . </P> <P> The advanced Stirling radioisotope generator ( ASRG , a model of Stirling radioisotope generator ( SRG ) ) produces roughly four times the electric power of an RTG per unit of nuclear fuel , but it is not yet ready to be implemented on an actual mission . NASA plans to utilize two ASRGs to explore Titan in the distant future . </P> Cutaway diagram of the advanced Stirling radioisotope generator . <P> Radioisotope power generators include : </P> <Ul> <Li> SNAP - 19 , SNAP - 27 ( Systems for Nuclear Auxiliary Power ) </Li> <Li> MHW - RTG </Li> <Li> GPHS - RTG </Li> <Li> MMRTG </Li> <Li> ASRG ( Advanced Stirling radioisotope generator ) </Li> </Ul> <P> Radioisotope heater units ( RHUs ) are also used on spacecraft to warm scientific instruments to the proper temperature so they operate efficiently . A larger model of RHU called the General Purpose Heat Source ( GPHS ) is used to power RTGs and the ASRG . </P> <P> Extremely slow - decaying radioisotopes have been proposed for use on realistic interstellar probes with multi-decade lifetimes . </P> <P> Another direction for development is an RTG assisted by subcritical reactions . </P> <H3> Fission systems ( edit ) </H3> <P> Fission power systems may be utilized to power a spacecraft 's heating or propulsion systems . </P> <P> In terms of heating requirements , when spacecraft require more than 100 kW for power , fission systems are much more cost effective than RTGs . Over the past few decades , several fission reactors have been proposed , but these fission systems have n't been utilized in US space

Despite the balmy climate of their native California , cold ocean currents make local beaches inhospitable during the winter . They travel to the coasts of Australia , New Zealand , Tahiti , Hawaii , Senegal , Ghana , Nigeria and South Africa in a quest for new surf spots and introduce locals to the sport . Other important surfers of the time , such as Miki Dora , Phil Edwards and Butch Van Artsdalen also appear . </P> <P> Its title comes from the idea , expressed at both the beginning and end of the film , that if one had enough time and money it would be possible to follow the summer up and down the world ( northern to southern hemisphere and back ) , making it endless . The concept of the film was born through the suggestion of a travel agent to Bruce Brown during the planning stages of the film . The travel agent suggested that the flight from Los Angeles to Cape Town , South Africa and back would cost $50 more than a trip circumnavigating the world . After which , Bruce came up with the idea of following the summer season by traveling up and down the world . </P> <P> The narrative presentation eases from the stiff and formal documentary of the 1950s and early 1960s to a more casual and fun - loving personal style filled with sly humor . The surf rock soundtrack to the film was provided by The Sandals . The `` Theme to the Endless Summer '' was written by Gaston Georis and John Blakeley of the Sandals . It has become one of the best known film themes in the surf movie genre . </P> <P> When the movie was first shown , it encouraged many surfers to go abroad , giving birth to the `` surf - and - travel '' culture , with prizes for finding `` uncrowded surf '' , meeting new people and riding the perfect wave . It also introduced the sport , which had become popular outside of Hawaii and the Polynesian Islands in places like California and Australia , to a broader audience . In addition , it set the style for later surf - and - travel movies , including Momentum , ( These Are ) Better Days , and Thicker Than Water . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Development </Li> <Li> 2 Reaction <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Legacy </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Sequels </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Development ( edit ) </H2> <P> Bruce Brown started surfing in the early 1950s . He took still photographs to show his mother what the draw of the sport was . While serving in the United States Navy on Oahu years later , he used an 8 mm movie camera to photograph surfers from California . Once Brown got back to the states , he edited his footage into an hour - long film . Surfer Dale Velzy showed it at his San Clemente shop , charging 25 cents for admission . Velzy bought Brown a 16 mm camera and together they raised $5,000 to make Slippery When Wet , Brown 's first `` real '' surf film . </P> <P> In the winter of 1958 , Brown went back to Hawaii to film the North Shore 's big surf . On the plane ride over , the novice filmmaker read a book about how to make movies . Brown said , `` I never had formal training in filmmaking and that probably worked to my advantage '' . By 1962 , he had spent five years making one surf film per year . He would shoot during the fall and winter months , edit during the spring and show the finished product during the summer . Brown remembered , `` I felt if I could take two years to make a film , maybe I could make something special '' . To do this , he would need a bigger budget than he had on previous films . To raise the $50,000 budget for The Endless Summer , Brown took the best footage from his four previous films and made Waterlogged . </P> <P> Brown took his completed film to several Hollywood studio distributors but was rejected because they did not think it would have mainstream appeal .

Board of Education of Topeka , 347 U.S. 483 ( 1954 ) , was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional . The decision effectively overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896 , which allowed state - sponsored segregation , insofar as it applied to public education . Handed down on May 17 , 1954 , the Warren Court 's unanimous ( 9 -- 0 ) decision stated that `` separate educational facilities are inherently unequal . '' As a result , de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution . This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the Civil Rights Movement , and a model for many future impact litigation cases . However , the decision 's fourteen pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools , and the Court 's second decision in Brown II ( 349 U.S. 294 ( 1955 ) ) only ordered states to desegregate `` with all deliberate speed '' . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 Case <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Filing and arguments </Li> <Li> 2.2 Supreme Court review </Li> <Li> 2.3 Unanimous opinion and consensus building </Li> <Li> 2.4 Holding </Li> <Li> 2.5 Local outcomes </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Social implications <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Deep South </Li> <Li> 3.2 Upland South </Li> <Li> 3.3 North </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Legal criticism and praise </Li> <Li> 5 Brown II </Li> <Li> 6 Brown III </Li> <Li> 7 Related cases </Li> <Li> 8 Other comments </Li> <Li> 9 See also </Li> <Li> 10 References </Li> <Li> 11 Further reading </Li> <Li> 12 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background </H2> <P> For much of the sixty years preceding the Brown case , race relations in the United States had been dominated by racial segregation . This policy had been endorsed in 1896 by the United States Supreme Court case of Plessy v. Ferguson , which held that as long as the separate facilities for the separate races were equal , segregation did not violate the Fourteenth Amendment ( `` no State shall ... deny to any person ... the equal protection of the laws '' ) . </P> <P> The plaintiffs in Brown asserted that this system of racial separation , while masquerading as providing separate but equal treatment of both white and black Americans , instead perpetuated inferior accommodations , services , and treatment for black Americans . Racial segregation in education varied widely from the 17 states that required racial segregation to the 16 in which it was prohibited . Brown was influenced by UNESCO 's 1950 Statement , signed by a wide variety of internationally renowned scholars , titled The Race Question . This declaration denounced previous attempts at scientifically justifying racism as well as morally condemning racism . Another work that the Supreme Court cited was Gunnar Myrdal 's An American Dilemma : The Negro Problem and Modern Democracy ( 1944 ) . Myrdal had been a signatory of the UNESCO declaration . The research performed by the educational psychologists Kenneth B. Clark and Mamie Phipps Clark also influenced the Court 's decision . The Clarks ' `` doll test '' studies presented substantial arguments to the Supreme Court about

They can also be combined in several ways to express the combination of a question and surprise or disbelief . The initial marks are normally mirrored at the end of the sentence or clause by the common marks ( ? , ! ) used in most other languages . Unlike the ending marks , which are printed along the baseline of a sentence , the inverted marks ( ¿ and ¡ ) descend below the line . </P> <P> Inverted marks were originally recommended by the Real Academia Española ( Spanish Royal Academy ) in 1754 , and adopted gradually over the next century . </P> <P> On computers , inverted marks are supported by various standards , including ISO - 8859 - 1 , Unicode , and HTML . They can be entered directly on keyboards designed for Spanish - speaking countries , or via alternative methods on other keyboards . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Usage </Li> <Li> 2 History </Li> <Li> 3 Mixtures </Li> <Li> 4 Computer usage <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Encodings </Li> <Li> 4.2 Input methods </Li> <Li> 4.3 Input methods for macOS </Li> <Li> 4.4 Input methods for LaTeX </Li> <Li> 4.5 Use in filenames </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Usage ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Spanish orthography <P> The inverted question mark ( ¿ ) is a punctuation mark written before the first letter of an interrogative sentence or clause to indicate that a question follows . It is an inverted form of the standard symbol `` ? '' recognized by speakers of languages written with the Latin alphabet . In most languages , a single question mark is used , and only at the end of an interrogative sentence : `` How old are you ? '' This was once true of the Spanish language . </P> <P> The inverted question mark was adopted long after the Real Academia 's decision , published in the second edition of the Ortografía de la lengua castellana ( Orthography of the Castilian language ) in 1754 recommending it as the symbol indicating the beginning of a question in written Spanish -- e.g. ¿ Cuántos años tienes ? ( `` How old are you ? '' ) . The Real Academia also ordered the same inverted - symbol system for statements of exclamation , using the symbols `` ¡ '' and `` ! '' . This helps to recognize questions and exclamations in long sentences . `` Do you like summer ? '' and `` You like summer . '' are translated respectively as `` ¿ Te gusta el verano ? '' and `` Te gusta el verano . '' ( There is no difference between the wording of a yes -- no question and the corresponding statement in Spanish as there is in English . ) These new rules were slowly adopted ; there exist nineteenth - century books in which the writer does not use either opening symbol , neither the `` ¡ '' nor the `` ¿ '' . </P> <P> In sentences that are both declarative and interrogative , the clause that asks a question is isolated with the starting - symbol inverted question mark , for example : Si no puedes ir con ellos , ¿ quieres ir con nosotros ? ( `` If you can not go with them , would you like to go with us ? '' ) </P> <P> Some writers omit the inverted question mark in the case of a short unambiguous question such as : Quién viene ? ( `` Who comes ? '' ) . This is the criterion in Catalan . Certain Catalan - language authorities , such as Joan Solà , insist that both the opening and closing question marks be used for clarity . </P> <P> Some Spanish - language writers , among them Nobel laureate Pablo Neruda ( 1904 -- 1973 ) , refuse to use the inverted question mark . It is common in Internet chat rooms and instant messaging now to use only the single `` ? '' as an ending symbol for a question , since it saves typing time . Multiple closing symbols are used for emphasis : Por qué dices eso ? ? , instead of the standard ¿ Por qué dices eso ? ( `` Why do you say that ? '' ) . Some may also use the ending symbol for both

Seeing her struggling , someone asked if she was n't tired . With surprise she replied , `` No , he 's not heavy ; he 's my brother . '' </P> <P> In a 1918 publication by Ralph Waldo Trine titled The Higher Powers of Mind and Spirit , he relates the following anecdote : `` Do you know that incident in connection with the little Scottish girl ? She was trudging along , carrying as best she could a boy younger , but it seemed almost as big as she herself , when one remarked to her how heavy he must be for her to carry , when instantly came the reply : ' He 's na heavy . He 's mi brither . ' '' </P> <P> The first editor of Kiwanis magazine , Roe Fulkerson , published a column in September 1924 carrying the title `` He Ai n't Heavy , He 's My Brother '' , the first use of the phrase exactly as it is rendered in the song title . </P> <P> In the 1940s , the words , adapted as `` He ai n't heavy , Father , he 's my brother '' , were taken as a slogan for Boys Town children 's home by founder Father Edward Flanagan . </P> <H2> Chart performance ( edit ) </H2> <P> The Hollies ' recording , which featured Elton John on piano , was released in the UK on 1 September 1969 and on 1 December 1969 in the US . `` He Ai n't Heavy '' reached No. 3 in the UK and No. 7 in the US . The song , paired with rarity `` Carrie '' , was re-released in late 1988 in the UK following its use in a television advertisement for Miller Lite beer . It reached the No. 1 spot in the UK chart for two weeks in September 1988 . </P> <P> Neil Diamond 's version of the song , recorded for his Tap Root Manuscript album , went to No. 20 on the Billboard `` Hot 100 Singles '' chart in late 1970 . </P> <P> The Osmonds covered the song on their 1970 album , Osmonds , as well as on the B - side of their chart - topper `` One Bad Apple ; '' the song is a staple at their concerts . </P> <P> Olivia Newton - John covered the song on her 1975 album `` Clearly Love '' , and it was released as the B - side of the

The Senate is composed of senators , each of whom represents a single state in its entirety , with each state being equally represented by two senators , regardless of its population , serving staggered terms of six years ; with fifty states presently in the Union , there are 100 U.S. Senators . From 1789 until 1913 , Senators were appointed by legislatures of the states they represented ; following the ratification of the Seventeenth Amendment in 1913 , they are now popularly elected . The Senate chamber is located in the north wing of the Capitol , in Washington , D.C. </P> <P> As the upper house , the Senate has several powers of advice and consent which are unique to it ; these include the ratification of treaties and the confirmation of Cabinet secretaries , Supreme Court justices , federal judges , other federal executive officials , flag officers , regulatory officials , ambassadors , and other federal uniformed officers . In addition to these , in cases wherein no candidate receives a majority of electors for Vice President , the duty befalls upon the Senate to elect one of the top two recipients of electors for that office . It further has the responsibility of conducting trials of those impeached by the House . The Senate is widely considered both a more deliberative and more prestigious body than the House of Representatives due to its longer terms , smaller size , and statewide constituencies , which historically led to a more collegial and less partisan atmosphere . </P> <P> The presiding officer of the Senate is the Vice President of the United States , who is President of the Senate . In the Vice President 's absence , the President Pro Tempore , who is customarily the senior member of the party holding a majority of seats , presides over the Senate . In the early 20th century , the practice of majority and minority parties electing their floor leaders began , although they are not constitutional officers . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Membership <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Qualifications </Li> <Li> 2.2 Elections and term <Ul> <Li> 2.2. 1 Term </Li> <Li> 2.2. 2 Elections </Li> <Li> 2.2. 3 Mid-term vacancies </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2.3 Oath </Li> <Li> 2.4 Salary and benefits </Li> <Li> 2.5 Seniority </Li> <Li> 2.6 Expulsion and other disciplinary actions </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Majority and minority parties <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Seating </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Officers <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Presiding over the Senate </Li> <Li> 4.2 Party leaders </Li> <Li> 4.3 Non-member officers </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Procedure <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Daily sessions <Ul> <Li> 5.1. 1 Debate </Li> <Li> 5.1. 2 Filibuster and cloture </Li> <Li> 5.1. 3 Voting </Li> <Li> 5.1. 4 Closed session </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5.2 Calendars </Li> <Li> 5.3 Committees </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Functions <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Legislation </Li> <Li> 6.2 Checks and balances </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 Current composition and election results <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Current party standings </Li> <Li> 7.2 115th Congress </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 See also </Li> <Li> 9 Notes </Li> <Li> 10 References </Li> <Li> 11

This damage is typically caused by a cerebral vascular accident ( stroke ) , or head trauma ; however , these are not the only possible causes . To be diagnosed with aphasia , a person 's speech or language must be significantly impaired in one ( or several ) of the four communication modalities following acquired brain injury or have significant decline over a short time period ( progressive aphasia ) . The four communication modalities are auditory comprehension , verbal expression , reading and writing , and functional communication . </P> <P> The difficulties of people with aphasia can range from occasional trouble finding words to losing the ability to speak , read , or write ; intelligence , however , is unaffected . Expressive language and receptive language can both be affected as well . Aphasia also affects visual language such as sign language . In contrast , the use of formulaic expressions in everyday communication is often preserved . One prevalent deficit in the aphasias is anomia , which is a deficit in word finding ability . </P> <P> The term aphasia implies that one or more communication modalities in the brain have been damaged and are therefore functioning incorrectly . Aphasia does not refer to damage to the brain that results in motor or sensory deficits , which produces abnormal speech ; that is , aphasia is not related to the mechanics of speech but rather the individual 's language cognition ( although a person can have both problems ) . An individual 's `` language '' is the socially shared set of rules as well as the thought processes that go behind verbalized speech . It is not a result of a more peripheral motor or sensory difficulty , such as paralysis affecting the speech muscles or a general hearing impairment . </P> <P> Aphasia affects about 2 million people in the US and 250,000 people in Great Britain . Though nearly 180,000 people in the US acquire the disorder a year , 84.5 % of people have never heard of the condition . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Signs and symptoms <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Related behaviors <Ul> <Li> 1.1. 1 Subcortical </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Causes </Li> <Li> 3 Classification <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Boston classification </Li> <Li> 3.2 Classical - localizationist approaches </Li> <Li> 3.3 Cognitive neuropsychological approaches </Li> <Li> 3.4 Progressive aphasias </Li> <Li> 3.5 Deaf aphasia </Li> <Li> 3.6 Severity </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Prevention </Li> <Li> 5 Management <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Intensity of treatment </Li> <Li> 5.2 Individualized service delivery </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Outcomes </Li> <Li> 7 History <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Etymology </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 Notable cases </Li> <Li> 9 Further Research </Li> <Li> 10 See also </Li> <Li> 11 References </Li> <Li> 12 External links </Li> </Ul> <H2> Signs and symptoms ( edit ) </H2> <P> People with aphasia may experience any of the following behaviors due to an acquired brain injury , although some of these symptoms may be due to related or concomitant problems such as dysarthria or apraxia and not primarily due to aphasia . Aphasia symptoms can vary based on the location of damage in the brain . Signs and symptoms may or may not be present in individuals with aphasia and may vary in severity and level of disruption to communication .

The play expands upon the exploits of two minor characters from Shakespeare 's Hamlet , the courtiers Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . The action of Stoppard 's play takes place mainly `` in the wings '' of Shakespeare 's , with brief appearances of major characters from Hamlet who enact fragments of the original 's scenes . Between these episodes the two protagonists voice their confusion at the progress of events occurring onstage without them in Hamlet , of which they have no direct knowledge . </P> <P> Comparisons have also been drawn with Samuel Beckett 's Waiting for Godot , for the presence of two central characters who almost appear to be two halves of a single character . Many plot features are similar as well : the characters pass time by playing Questions , impersonating other characters , and interrupting each other or remaining silent for long periods of time . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Title </Li> <Li> 2 Characters </Li> <Li> 3 Synopsis </Li> <Li> 4 Summary <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Act One </Li> <Li> 4.2 Act Two </Li> <Li> 4.3 Act Three </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Motifs and ideas </Li> <Li> 6 Metatheatre </Li> <Li> 7 Notable productions <Ul> <Li> 7.1 United Kingdom </Li> <Li> 7.2 Broadway and Off - Broadway </Li> <Li> 7.3 Radio adaptation </Li> <Li> 7.4 Film adaptation </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 Reception </Li> <Li> 9 See also </Li> <Li> 10 References </Li> <Li> 11 Further reading </Li> <Li> 12 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Title ( edit ) </H2> <P> The title is taken directly from the final scene of Shakespeare 's Hamlet . In earlier scenes , Prince Hamlet , having been exiled to England by the treacherous King of Denmark ( his uncle , who murdered Hamlet 's father to obtain the throne ) discovered en route a letter from the King carried by his old but now untrusted friends Rosencrantz and Guildenstern . The letter commanded Hamlet 's death upon his arrival in England . Hamlet rewrote the letter to command Rosencrantz and Guildenstern 's deaths and escaped back to Denmark . By the end of Shakespeare 's play , Prince Hamlet , Laertes , Ophelia , Polonius , King Claudius and Gertrude all lie dead . An ambassador from England arrives to bluntly report `` Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are dead '' ( Hamlet . Act V , Scene II , line 411 ) and so they join all the stabbed , poisoned , and drowned key characters . By the end of Hamlet , Horatio is the only main figure left alive . </P> <P> A previous , satirical play of a similar nature named Rosencrantz and Guildenstern was written by W.S.

At first , she hesitates because she feels like it has done her nothing . She thinks attending the support group could be the worst part of her life , until a particular support meeting , Hazel meets a 17 - year - old boy named Augustus Waters , whose osteosarcoma caused him to lose his right leg , which was replaced with a prosthetic . Augustus is at the support meeting to support Isaac , a boy Augustus ' age with eye cancer . Upon catching Augustus staring at her , Hazel suddenly feels self - conscious . They meet after the Support Group and converse on the fact that they were not `` literally '' in the heart of Jesus , but in a basement . When everything seems to go well , Augustus pulls out a cigarette and puts it between his lips . Hazel is disgusted by this and yells at him saying that he 's already got cancer and he wants to pay money for more cancer , `` Not being able to breathe sucks , '' she yells . Augustus calmly explains the metaphor , which is , `` You put the thing that kills you right between your teeth but you do n't give it the power to kill you . '' Hazel , impressed by this , goes to his place to watch a movie . Hazel and Augustus strike a bond immediately and agree to read each other 's favorite novels . Augustus gives Hazel The Price of Dawn , and Hazel recommends An Imperial Affliction , a novel written by Peter Van Houten , who lives in Amsterdam , about a cancer - stricken girl named Anna that parallels Hazel 's own experience . After Augustus finishes reading her book , he is frustrated upon learning that the novel ends abruptly without a conclusion . Hazel explains the novel 's author had retreated following the novel 's publication and has not been heard from since . </P> <P> A week later , Augustus reveals to Hazel that he has tracked down Van Houten 's assistant , Lidewij , and , through her , has managed to start an e-mail correspondence with Van Houten .

At a picnic , Augustus surprises Hazel with tickets to Amsterdam to meet Van Houten . </P> <P> While in Amsterdam , Augustus confesses his love for Hazel . Hazel and Augustus finally meet Van Houten but are shocked to find that he is a mean - spirited drunk .

motor transport . There was insufficient budget to train the men in the services , such that the bulk of personnel received much of their training at the front , when it was too late to be of use . Air units had not been trained to operate with the naval fleet and the majority of ships had been built for fleet actions , rather than the convoy protection duties in which they were primarily employed during the war . In any event , a critical lack of fuel kept naval activities to a minimum . </P> <P> Senior leadership was also a problem . Mussolini personally assumed control of all three individual military service ministries with the intention of influencing detailed planning . Comando Supremo ( the Italian High Command ) consisted of only a small complement of staff that could do little more than inform the individual service commands of Mussolini 's intentions , after which it was up to the individual service commands to develop proper plans and execution . The result was that there was no central direction for operations ; the three military services tended to work independently , focusing only on their fields , with little inter-service cooperation . Discrepancies in pay existed for personnel who were of equal rank , but from different units . </P> <H2> Outbreak of the Second World war ( edit ) </H2> See also : Military production during World War II <P> Nazi Germany 's invasion of Poland on 1 September 1939 , marked the beginning of World War II . Despite being an Axis power , Italy remained non-belligerent until June 1940 . </P> <H3> Decision to intervene ( edit ) </H3> <P> Following the German conquest of Poland , Mussolini hesitated to enter the war . The British commander for land forces in the Middle East and the eastern Mediterranean , General Sir Archibald Wavell , correctly predicted that Mussolini 's pride would ultimately cause him to enter the war . Wavell would compare Mussolini 's situation to that of someone at the top of a diving board : `` I think he must do something . If he can not make a graceful dive , he will at least have to jump in somehow ; he can hardly put on his dressing - gown and walk down the stairs again . '' </P> <P> Initially , the entry into the war appeared to be political opportunism ( though there was some provocation ) , which led to a lack of consistency in planning , with principal objectives and enemies being changed with little regard for the consequences . Mussolini was well aware of the military and material deficiencies but thought the war would be over soon and did not expect to do much fighting . </P> <H2> Italy enters the war : June 1940 ( edit ) </H2> See also : Fall of France and Italian invasion of France Italy and its colonies in 1940 , before the start of the Western Desert Campaign . <P> On 10 June 1940 , as the French government fled to Bordeaux during the German invasion , declaring Paris an open city , Mussolini felt the conflict would soon end and declared war on Britain and France . As he said to the Army 's Chief - of - Staff , Marshal Badoglio : </P> <P> I only need a few thousand dead so that I can sit at the peace conference as a man who has fought . </P> <P> Mussolini had the immediate war aim of expanding the Italian colonies in North Africa by taking land from the British and French colonies . </P> <P> About Mussolini 's declaration of war in France , President Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States said : </P> <P> On this tenth day of June 1940 , the hand that held the dagger has struck it into the back of its neighbor . </P> <P> The Italian entry into the war opened up new fronts in North Africa and the Mediterranean . After Italy entered the war , pressure from Nazi Germany led to the internment in the Campagna concentration camp of some of Italy 's Jewish refugees . </P> <H3> Invasion of France ( edit ) </H3> See also : Italian - occupied France Occupied France in 1940 ; the Italian zone is shown in yellow . <P> In June 1940 , after initial success , the Italian offensive into southern France stalled at the fortified Alpine Line . On 24 June 1940 , France surrendered to Germany . Italy occupied a swathe of French territory along the Franco - Italian border . During this operation , Italian casualties amounted to 1,247 men dead or missing and 2,631 wounded . A further 2,151 Italians were hospitalised due to frostbite . </P> <P> Late in the Battle of Britain , Italy contributed an expeditionary force , the Corpo Aereo Italiano , which took part in the Blitz from October 1940 until April 1941 , at which time the last elements of the force were withdrawn . </P> <P> In November 1942 , the Italian Royal Army occupied south - eastern Vichy France and Corsica as part of Case Anton . From December 1942 , Italian military government of French departments east of the Rhône River was established , and continued until September 1943 , when Italy quit the war . This had the effect of providing a de facto temporary haven for French Jews fleeing the Holocaust . In January 1943 the Italians refused to cooperate with the Nazis in rounding up Jews living in the occupied zone of France under their control and in March prevented the Nazis from deporting Jews in their zone . German Foreign Minister Joachim von Ribbentrop complained to Mussolini that `` Italian military circles ... lack a proper understanding of the Jewish question . '' </P> <P> The Italian Navy established a submarine base at Bordeaux , code named BETASOM , and thirty two Italian submarines participated in the Battle of the Atlantic . Plans to attack the

Zenger High as a freshman , along with his three best friends , Mitch , Patrick , and Kyle , and quickly realizes that it is very different from middle school . Upperclassmen are intimidating and will steal any lunch money along with loose change if you stand in the wrong place . Scott gets put in advanced classes , including an Honors English class which , despite the amount of homework , is his favorite class . His teacher , Mr. Franka , becomes a mentor to him . Scott finds out that he 's not in classes with his friends since he 's carrying all honors and college prep classes . He tries his best from the very start to get the attention of Julia Baskins , a girl who was in his kindergarten class and has recently become very beautiful over the summer . Because of her beauty she quickly blends in with the popular girls and is attracted to the football players who are often bullying Scott . Scott is also connected to another classmate named Louden , who is better known as Mouth . Scott tries every attempt to get Julia 's attention such as joining the school paper , because he thinks that she is part of the staff , only to discover that she has written only a single column for the paper . He then runs for student council , after finding out that Julia is also running as well , and wins a seat , only to find out that she has not won . Because of this , Scott resigns from his position on the student council . It turns out that a lot of other members also resigned including the president meaning Julia who happened to have the 2nd most amount of votes is now president .

Though they share some interests , they have little in common . Then to put the cherry on top of all this excitement going on in his life , his mother announces that she is pregnant . He copes with all of this by creating a tip book for his soon - to - be baby sibling to help him , or her , survive high school when they get to it . In his entries to the baby , he often shows disdain by using degrading terms to talk to it such as `` Smelly '' or `` Blob of unformed goo '' .

She goes to Wethersfield , Connecticut to live with her Aunt Rachel and Uncle Matthew in their Puritan community . </P> <P> In Connecticut , there is a brief stop in Saybrook , a small town just downriver from Wethersfield , where four new passengers board the Dolphin , the ship on which Kit is traveling . As the small rowboat returns to the ship , a small girl named Prudence accidentally drops her doll in the water and begs her mother to get it back for her . Her mother , Goodwife Cruff , harshly strikes Prudence and tells her not to be foolish . Impulsively , Kit jumps into the water and retrieves the doll . She nearly freezes in the frigid water because she was used to the pleasantly warm water in Barbados , her old home . When she returns to the rowboat , she is met with astonished suspicion , as few people in Connecticut could swim so well . Goodwife Cruff is the most cynical of them all , believing Kit is a witch , saying , `` No respectable woman could stay afloat like that . '' But Kit knew how to swim because she lived in the islands . On the slow trip upriver , Kit befriends John Holbrook , another passenger coming to Wethersfield to study with Reverend Gershom Bulkeley . After the Dolphin reaches Wethersfield , Kit admits to the captain of the ship that neither her aunt nor uncle knows she is coming . She says that they would welcome her because she is family . </P> <P> When she arrives in Wethersfield , Kit finds Wethersfield very different from Barbados . In her previous home , she had servants , but here she is expected to work along with the rest of the family . There is none of the luxury to which she was accustomed , and even the weather is miserably cold . She has two cousins , Mercy ( who is crippled ) and Judith . She is required to attend church meeting services twice each Sunday , which she finds long and dull . She meets the rich , 25 - year - old William Ashby , who begins courting her , though she does not care for him ; originally , her cousin Judith had hoped to marry William , but soon sets her sights on John Holbrook , now a divinity student studying with local minister Gershom Bulkeley . </P> <P> Kit 's life improves when she and Mercy begin teaching the dame school for the young children of Wethersfield who are preparing for traditional school . Everything goes well until one day , bored with the normal lessons , Kit decides the children will act out a part from the Bible , the tale of the Good Samaritan . Mr. Eleazer Kimberly , the head of the school , enters the house just as things get out of hand . He is outraged at Kit for having the audacity to act out something from the Bible and shuts down the school . Heartbroken , Kit flees to the meadows where she meets and befriends the kind , elderly Hannah Tupper , who was outlawed from the Massachusetts colony because she is a Quaker , and does not attend Meeting . As fellow outcasts , Kit and Hannah develop a deep bond , and even after her uncle forbids Kit to continue the friendship , Kit keeps visiting Hannah . During one of her visits , she again meets the handsome Nathaniel ( Nat ) Eaton , son of the captain of the Dolphin . Without realizing it , she falls in love with him , and though he does n't say so , Nat loves her as well . Unfortunately , Nat is banished from Wethersfield after setting lit jack - o - lanterns in the windows of William Ashby 's unfinished home with two of his shipmates out of jealousy ; he will get 30 lashes if he returns to Wethersfield . Kit also begins secretly teaching Prudence to read and write ; Goodwife Cruff claims the child is a halfwit and refuses to allow her to attend the dame school . </P> <P> When a deadly illness sweeps through Wethersfield , a mob gathers to kill Hannah by burning her house , since everyone believes she is a witch who has cursed the

The Embassy of the United States to Cuba in Havana . <P> Cuba and the United States restored diplomatic relations on 20 July 2015 , which had been severed in 1961 during the Cold War . U.S. diplomatic representation in Cuba is handled by the United States Embassy in Havana , and there is a similar Cuban Embassy in Washington , D.C. . The United States , however , continues to maintain its commercial , economic , and financial embargo , which makes it illegal for U.S. corporations to do business with Cuba . Leaders in both houses of Congress as well as President Donald Trump support the embargo , although the Cuban government has called for it to be repealed . </P> <P> The hold of the Spanish Empire on possessions in the Americas was reduced in the 1820s as a result of the Spanish American wars of independence ; only Cuba and Puerto Rico remained under Spanish rule until the Spanish -- American War ( 1898 ) that resulted from the Cuban War of Independence . Under the Treaty of Paris , Cuba became a U.S. protectorate ; the U.S. gained a position of economic and political dominance over the island , which persisted after it became formally independent in 1902 . </P> <P> Following the Cuban Revolution of 1959 , bilateral relations deteriorated substantially . In 1961 , the U.S. severed diplomatic ties with Cuba and began pursuing covert operations to topple the Communist regime . Moreover , the U.S. imposed and subsequently tightened a comprehensive set of restrictions and bans vis - à - vis the Cuban regime as retaliation for the nationalization of U.S. corporations ' property by Cuba . Meanwhile , several organizations , including a nearly unanimous United Nations General Assembly , have called for `` an end to the United States ' decades - long economic , commercial and financial embargo against Cuba . '' </P> <P> On 17 December 2014 , U.S. President Barack Obama and Cuban President Raúl Castro announced the beginning of a process of normalizing relations between Cuba and the U.S. , which media sources have named `` the Cuban Thaw '' . Negotiated in secret in Canada and Vatican City over preceding months , and with the assistance of Pope Francis , the agreement led to the lifting of some U.S. travel restrictions , fewer restrictions on remittances , U.S. banks access to the Cuban financial system , and the establishment of a U.S. embassy in Havana , which closed after Cuba became closely allied with the USSR in 1961 . The countries ' respective `` interests sections '' in one another 's capitals were upgraded to embassies on 20 July 2015 . On 20 March 2016 , President Barack Obama visited Cuba , becoming the first President in 88 years to visit the island . </P> <P> On June 16 , 2017 President Donald Trump announced that he was suspending the policy for unconditional sanctions relief for Cuba , while also leaving the door open for a `` better deal '' between the US and Cuba . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Historical background <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Independence in Cuba </Li> <Li> 1.2 Relations 1900 -- 1959 </Li> <Li> 1.3 Post-revolution relations </Li> <Li> 1.4 After the Cold War <Ul> <Li> 1.4. 1 Tightening embargo </Li> <Li> 1.4. 2 Vision for `` democratic transition '' </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 1.5 The `` Cuban Thaw '' </Li> <Li> 1.6 Trump administration <Ul> <Li> 1.6. 1 Health issues of American diplomats in Cuba </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Trade relations </Li> <Li> 3 Guantánamo Bay </Li> <Li> 4 U.S. public opinion on Cuba -- United States relations </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 Further reading <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Primary sources </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Historical background ( edit ) </H2> John Quincy Adams , who as U.S. Secretary of State compared Cuba to an apple that , if severed from Spain , would gravitate towards the U.S. <P> Relations between the Spanish colony of Cuba and polities on the North American mainland first established themselves in the early 18th century through illicit commercial contracts by the European colonies of the New World , trading to elude colonial taxes . As both legal and illegal trade increased , Cuba became a comparatively prosperous trading partner in the region , and a center of tobacco and sugar production . During this period Cuban merchants increasingly traveled to North American ports , establishing trade contracts that endured for many years . The British occupation of Havana in 1762 opened up trade with the British colonies in North America , and the rebellion of the thirteen colonies in 1776 provided additional trade opportunities . Spain opened Cuban ports to North American commerce officially in November 1776 and the island became increasingly dependent on that trade . </P> Detail of 1591 map of Florida and Cuba <P> After the opening of the island to world trade in 1818 , trade agreements began to replace Spanish commercial connections . In 1820 Thomas Jefferson thought Cuba is `` the most interesting addition which could ever be made to our system of States '' and told Secretary of War John C. Calhoun that the United States `` ought , at the first possible opportunity , to take Cuba .

rate of stamp duty land tax and `` other minor taxes '' , and introducing new taxes in Scotland with the agreement of the UK Parliament , and finally , `` limited power to borrow money '' . The third proposal was for full independence . </P> <P> In the 3rd Scottish Parliament only 50 of 129 MSPs ( 47 SNP , 2 Greens , and Margo MacDonald ) supported a referendum . The Scottish government withdrew the bill after failing to secure opposition support . </P> <H3> 2011 SNP administration ( edit ) </H3> Further information : Government of the 4th Scottish Parliament <P> The SNP repeated its commitment to hold a referendum when it published its 2011 Scottish parliamentary election manifesto . Days before the election , Salmond stated that legislation for a referendum would be proposed in the `` 2nd half of the parliament '' , as he wanted to secure more powers for the Scottish Parliament via the Scotland Bill first . The SNP gained an overall majority in the election , winning 69 from 129 seats , thereby gaining a mandate to hold an independence referendum . </P> <P> In January 2012 , the UK government offered to legislate to provide the Scottish Parliament with the powers to hold a referendum , providing it was `` fair , legal and decisive '' . This would set `` terms of reference for the referendum '' , such as its question ( s ) , elector eligibility and which body would organise the vote . As the UK government worked on legal details , including the timing of the vote , Salmond announced an intention to hold the referendum in the autumn of 2014 . Negotiations continued between the two governments until October 2012 , when the Edinburgh Agreement was reached . </P> <P> The Scottish Independence Referendum ( Franchise ) Act 2013 was passed by the Scottish Parliament on 27 June 2013 and received Royal Assent on 7 August 2013 . On 15 November 2013 , the Scottish government published Scotland 's Future , a 670 - page white paper laying out the case for independence and the means through which Scotland might become an independent country . </P> <H2> Administration ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Date ( edit ) </H3> <P> The Scottish government announced on 21 March 2013 that the referendum would be held on 18 September 2014 . This date was intentionally chosen as it was the 100th anniversary of royal assent to the Irish Home Rule Act . Some media reports mentioned that 2014 would also be the 700th anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn and that Scotland would also host the 2014 Commonwealth Games and the 2014 Ryder Cup . Salmond agreed that the presence of these events made 2014 a `` good year to hold a referendum '' . </P> <H3> Eligibility to vote ( edit ) </H3> <P> Under the terms of the 2010 Draft Bill , the following people were entitled to vote in the referendum : </P> <Ul> <Li> British citizens who were resident in Scotland ; </Li> <Li> citizens of other Commonwealth countries who were resident in Scotland ; </Li> <Li> citizens of other European Union countries who were resident in Scotland ; </Li> <Li> members of the House of Lords who were resident in Scotland ; </Li> <Li> Service / Crown personnel serving in the UK or overseas in the British Armed Forces or with Her Majesty 's Government who were registered to vote in Scotland . </Li> </Ul> <P> Convicted prisoners were not able to vote in the referendum . The European Court of Human Rights ( ECHR ) earlier ruled that this restriction was unlawful , but Scottish judge Lord Glennie said that he believed the ECHR judgment would apply only to parliamentary elections . Appeals against his ruling were rejected by the Court of Session in Edinburgh and the UK Supreme Court . </P> <P> The normal voting age was reduced from 18 to 16 for the referendum , as it was SNP policy to reduce the voting age for all elections in Scotland . The move was supported by Labour , the Liberal Democrats and the Scottish Greens . </P> <P> In January 2012 , Elaine Murray MSP of Labour led a debate arguing that the franchise should be extended to Scots living outside Scotland , including the approximately 800,000 living in the other parts of the UK . This was opposed by the Scottish Government , which argued that it would greatly increase the complexity of the referendum and stated that there was evidence from the United Nations Human Rights Committee that other nations `` might question the legitimacy of a referendum if the franchise is not territorial '' . </P> <P> In the House of Lords , Baroness Symons argued that the rest of the UK should be allowed to vote on Scottish independence , on the grounds that it would affect the whole country . This argument was rejected by the British government , as the Advocate General for Scotland Lord Wallace said that `` whether or not Scotland should leave the United Kingdom is a matter for Scotland '' . Wallace also pointed to the fact that only two of 11 referendums since 1973 had been across all of the United Kingdom . Professor John Curtice also argued that the Northern Ireland sovereignty referendum of 1973 ( the `` border poll '' ) created a precedent for allowing only those resident in one part of the UK to vote on its sovereignty . </P> <H3> Legality of a referendum ( edit ) </H3> <P> There was debate as to whether the Scottish Parliament had the power to legislate for a referendum relating to the issue of Scottish independence , as the constitution is a reserved matter for the UK Parliament . The Scottish government insisted in 2010 that they could legislate for a referendum , as it would be an `` advisory referendum on extending the powers of the Scottish Parliament '' , whose result would `` have no legal effect

Finances of the British Royal family - wikipedia <H1> Finances of the British Royal family </H1> Jump to : navigation , search <P> The British royal family is financed by the hereditary revenues of the Crown . The British Parliament uses a percentage of the Crown Estate , a part of the Crown 's hereditary revenues belonging to the sovereign that is placed at the disposal of the House of Commons , to meet the costs of the sovereign 's official expenditures . This includes the costs of the upkeep of the various royal residences , staffing , travel and state visits , public engagements , and official entertainment . Other sources of income include revenues from the Duchies of Lancaster and Cornwall , a parliamentary annuity , and income from private investments . The Keeper of the Privy Purse is Head of the Privy Purse and Treasurer 's Office and has overall responsibility for the management of the sovereign 's financial affairs . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Income <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Civil List </Li> <Li> 1.2 Sovereign Grant </Li> <Li> 1.3 Duchy of Lancaster </Li> <Li> 1.4 Duchy of Cornwall </Li> <Li> 1.5 Parliamentary annuities </Li> <Li> 1.6 Taxation </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Assets <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Private wealth of the Queen </Li> <Li> 2.2 Crown Estate </Li> <Li> 2.3 Assets held in trust </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Income ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Civil List ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Civil list <P> Until 1760 the monarch met all official expenses from hereditary revenues , which included the profits of the Crown Estate ( the royal property portfolio ) . King George III agreed to surrender the hereditary revenues of the Crown in return for the Civil List , and this arrangement persisted from 1760 until 2012 . The Civil List was paid from public funds and was intended to support the exercise of the monarch 's duties as head of state of the United Kingdom . In modern times , the Government 's profits from the Crown Estate always significantly exceeded the Civil List . Under the Civil List arrangements the royal family faced criticism for the lack of transparency surrounding Royal finances . The National Audit Office was not entitled to audit the Royal Household . </P> <P> The Queen received an annual £ 7.9 million a year from the Civil List between 2001 and 2012 . The total income of the Royal Household from the Treasury was always significantly larger than the Civil List because it included additional income such as Grants - in - Aid from the Treasury and revenues from the Duchies of Cornwall and Lancaster . The total Royal Household income for the financial years 2011 - 12 and 2012 - 13 was £ 30 million per annum , followed by a 14 % cut in the following year . However , the Treasury provided an additional £ 1 million to pay for Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 . </P> <P> Royal expenditure differs from income due to the use of a Reserve Fund , which can be added to or drawn from . The official reported annual expenditure of the Head of State was £ 41.5 million for the 2008 - 09 financial year . This figure did not include the cost of security provided by the police and the Army and some other expenses . </P> <H3> Sovereign Grant ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Sovereign Grant Act 2011 <P> Under the Sovereign Grant Act 2011 , the system of funding the Royal Household by a mixture of Civil List payments and Grants - in - Aid was replaced . From 1 April 2012 a single annual Sovereign Grant has been paid by the Treasury . The level of funding for the Royal Household is now linked to the Government 's revenue from The Crown Estate . </P> <P> The Sovereign Grant Annual Report states that the Sovereign Grant was £ 31 million for 2012 - 13 , £ 36.1 million for 2013 - 14 and £ 37.9 million for 2014 - 15 . The amount of the Sovereign Grant is 15 % of the income account net surplus of the Crown Estate for the financial year that began two years previously . The arrangements will be reviewed by 2016 ( subsection 7 ( 5 ) of the Act ) . Step 4 of subsection 6 ( 1 ) , and subsection 6 ( 4 ) , of the Act provide a mechanism to prevent the amount of the Sovereign Grant increasing beyond what is necessary because of the growth in Crown Estate revenue .

The first takes place prior to the war where cocky Philadelphia steel worker and `` Man 's man '' Al Schmid ( John Garfield ) despises the idea of marriage and losing his independence until he meets his match in Ruth Hartley ( Eleanor Parker ) . Ruth takes no nonsense from him and impresses Schmid by enjoying a hunting trip he takes her on . </P> <P> In part two , at the Battle of the Tenaru River on Guadalcanal , Schmid is in the crew of a M1917 Browning machine gun with his buddies Lee Diamond ( Dane Clark ) and Johnny Rivers ( Anthony Caruso ) of `` H '' Company 2nd Battalion First Marines . While the three wait for an enemy attack , they practice gun emplacement procedures -- establishing fields of fire , practicing with the range card to estimate firing distances , and determining the optimal traversal and elevation settings for each anticipated line of attack . The subsequent onslaught by the enemy is particularly heavy . Rivers is killed by a bullet through the head , Diamond wounded by three machine gun bullets in his right arm , and Schmid is blinded by a Japanese soldier dropping a hand grenade at the front of the gun pit . In spite of the heavy attack , Schmid is able to fire his weapon by following Diamond 's instructions . Together , they kill 200 of the enemy . </P> <P> The third part is Schmid 's humbling rehabilitation , in which he resents being dependent upon others . He hopes that an operation will restore his sight , but the medical procedure was n't successful . He does n't want Ruth to know that he is nearly completely blind , and he attempts to break up with her . Schmid learns responsibility through Diamond , hospital rehabilitation officer Virginia Pfeiffer ( Rosemary DeCamp ) and the other wounded veterans . He is to be awarded the Navy Cross , but is dismayed that the ceremony will take place in his home town . He initially feels anger and discomfort when he becomes dependent upon family and friends , primarily because he does n't want to be a burden to anyone . In spite of his resentment , Ruth stays by his side and helps him overcome his bitterness , and convinces him that he must learn to live with his new situation . </P> <H2> Cast ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> John Garfield as Al Schmid </Li> <Li> Eleanor Parker as Ruth Hartley </Li> <Li> Dane Clark as Lee Diamond </Li> <Li> John Ridgely as Jim Merchant </Li> <Li> Rosemary DeCamp as Virginia Pfeiffer </Li> <Li> Ann Doran as Ella May Merchant </Li> <Li> Ann E.

In Jim Proser 's book I 'm Staying With My Boys : The Heroic Life of Sgt . John Basilone USMC Proser tells of Basilone 's friendship with John Garfield and Eddie Bracken when they toured the United States selling war bonds . </P> <P> Screenwriters A.I.

Prior to filming , Garfield visited American soldiers in hospitals in Italy . </P> <P> Garfield met Schmid during his rehabilitation before a movie was ever planned . Once the film was planned , Garfield lived with the Schmids for several weeks , becoming friends with the couple . </P> <P> Both Bessie and Maltz were later blacklisted over their `` un-American '' political opinions . </P> <P> Film locations include the 6500 block of Tulip Street in Philadelphia . </P> <H2> Reception ( edit ) </H2> <P> Bosley Crowther of The New York Times called the film `` a splendid documentation of a dramatic crisis in a hero 's life , '' with performances that were `` all unqualifiedly excellent ... To say that this picture is entertaining to a truly surprising degree is an inadequate recommendation . It is inspiring and eloquent of a quality of human courage that millions must try to generate today . '' Variety called it `` a two - hour celluloid saga which should inspire much pride for many . As an entertainment film with a forceful theme , so punchy that its ' message ' aspects are negligible , it is a credit to all concerned ... ( Garfield ) gives a vividly histrionic performance that will not be easily forgotten . '' Harrison 's Reports called the film `` sensitive and at times forceful '' and called Garfield `` very good , '' but found the discourses by hospitalized servicemen `` so long drawn out that they interrupt the flow of the story . '' Wolcott Gibbs of The New Yorker wrote : `` In spite of the fact that most of this has a somewhat familiar and mechanical air , the picture has its effective moments , mostly owing to Mr. Garfield 's honest and very intelligent performance

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 . </P> <P> Gerry and the Pacemakers ' version , also produced by Martin , became a number - one hit in the UK until it was replaced by `` From Me to You '' ( the Beatles ' third single ) .

rick is later broken down and the sheaves threshed to separate the grain from the straw . </P> <P> Collecting spilt grain from the field after reaping is called gleaning , and is traditionally done either by hand , or by penning animals such as chickens or pigs onto the field . </P> <P> Hand reaping is now rarely done in industrialized countries , but is still the normal method where machines are unavailable or where access for them is limited ( such as on narrow terraces ) . </P> <P> The more or less skeletal figure of a reaper with a scythe -- known as the `` Grim Reaper '' -- is a common personification of death in many Western traditions and cultures . In this metaphor , death harvests the living , like a farmer harvests the crops . </P> <H2> Mechanical reaping ( edit ) </H2> <P> A mechanical reaper or reaping machine is a mechanical , semi-automated device that harvests crops . Mechanical reapers and their descendant machines have been an important part of mechanised agriculture and a main feature of agricultural productivity . </P> <H3> Mechanical reapers in the U.S. ( edit ) </H3> <P> The 19th century saw several inventors in the United States claim innovation in mechanical reapers. The various designs competed with each other , and were the subject of several lawsuits . </P> <P> Obed Hussey in Ohio patented a reaper in 1833 , the Hussey Reaper . Made in Baltimore , Maryland , Hussey 's design was a major improvement in reaping efficiency . The new reaper only required two horses working in a non-strenuous manner , a man to work the machine , and another person to drive . In addition , the Hussey Reaper left an even and clean surface after its use . </P> McCormick 's reaper at a presentation in Virginia <P> The McCormick Reaper was designed by Robert McCormick in Walnut Grove , Virginia . However , Robert became frustrated when he was unable to perfect his new device . His son Cyrus asked for permission to try to complete his father 's project . With permission granted , the McCormick Reaper was patented by his son Cyrus McCormick in 1837 as a horse - drawn farm implement to cut small grain crops . This McCormick reaper machine had several special elements : </P> <Ul> <Li> a main wheel frame </Li> <Li> projected to the side a platform containing a cutter bar having fingers through which reciprocated a knife driven by a crank </Li> <Li> upon the outer end of the platform was a divider projecting ahead of the platform to separate the grain to be cut from that to be left standing </Li> <Li> a reel was positioned above the platform to hold the grain against the reciprocating knife to throw it back upon the platform </Li> <Li> the machine was drawn by a team walking at the side of the grain . </Li> </Ul> <P> Cyrus McCormick claimed that his reaper was actually invented in 1834 , giving him the true claim to the general design of the machine . Over the next few decades the Hussey and McCormick reapers would compete with each other in the marketplace , despite being quite similar . </P> <P> In 1861 , the United States Patent and Trademark Office issued a ruling on the invention of the polarizing reaper design . It was determined that the money made from reapers was in large part due to Obed Hussey . S.T. Shugert , the acting commissioner of patents , declared that Hussey 's improvements were the foundation of their success . It was ruled that the heirs of Obed Hussey would be monetarily compensated for his hard work and innovation by those who had made money from the reaper . It was also ruled that McCormick 's reaper patent would be renewed for another 7 years . </P> <P> Although the McCormick reaper was a revolutionary innovation for the harvesting of crops , it did not experience mainstream success and acceptance until at least 20 years after it was patented by Cyrus McCormick . This was because the McCormick reaper lacked a quality unique to Obed Hussey 's reaper . Hussey 's reaper used a sawlike cutter bar that cut stalks far more effectively than McCormick 's . Only once Cyrus McCormick was able to acquire the rights to Hussey 's cutter - bar mechanism ( around 1850 ) did a truly revolutionary machine emerge . Other factors in the gradual uptake of mechanized reaping included natural cultural conservatism among farmers ( proven tradition versus new and unknown machinery ) ; the poor state of many new farm fields , which were often littered with rocks , stumps , and areas of uneven soil , making the lifespan and operability of a reaping machine questionable ; and some amount of fearful Luddism among farmers that the machine would take away jobs , most especially among hired manual labourers . </P> <P> Another strong competitor in the industry was the Manny Reaper by John Henry Manny and the companies that succeeded him . Even though McCormick has sometimes been simplistically credited as the ( sole ) `` inventor '' of the mechanical reaper , a more accurate statement is that he independently reinvented aspects of it , created a crucial original integration of enough aspects to make a successful whole , and benefited from the influence of more than two decades of work by his father , as well as the aid of Jo Anderson , a slave held by his family . </P> <H3> Reapers in the late 19th and 20th century ( edit ) </H3> Champion reaper , trade card from 1875 Horse - drawn reaper in Canada in 1941 <P> After the first reapers were developed and patented , other slightly different reapers were distributed by several manufacturers throughout the world . The Champion ( Combined ) Reapers and Mowers , produced by the Champion Interest group ( Champion Machine Company , later Warder , Bushnell & Glessner ,

The 50 - star flag was ordered by the then president Eisenhower on August 21 , 1959 , and was adopted in July 1960 .

The flag contemporaneously known as `` the Continental Colors '' has historically been referred to as the first national flag . </P> <P> The Continental Navy raised the Colors as the ensign of the fledgling nation in the American War for Independence -- likely with the expedient of transforming their previous British red ensigns by adding white stripes -- and would use this flag until 1777 , when it would form the basis for the subsequent de jure designs . </P> <P> The name `` Grand Union '' was first applied to the Continental Colors by George Preble in his 1872 history of the U.S. flag . </P> <P> The flag closely resembles the British East India Company flag of the era , and Sir Charles Fawcett argued in 1937 that the company flag inspired the design . Both flags could have been easily constructed by adding white stripes to a British Red Ensign , one of the three maritime flags used throughout the British Empire at the time . However , an East India Company flag could have from nine to 13 stripes , and was not allowed to be flown outside the Indian Ocean . </P> <P> In any case , both the stripes ( barry ) and the stars ( mullets ) have precedents in classical heraldry .

In partnership , they bought 13 prospects , including Seattle Slew , who was sold for $17,500 ( equivalent to $80,000 in 2017 ) . They named him for the city of Seattle and the sloughs which loggers once used to transport heavy logs . Karen felt that the spelling of slough -- a slow - moving channel of the Pacific Northwest -- would be too hard for people to remember , so the spelling was changed to Slew . A later co-owner was Glenn Rasmussen , the accountant for the equine partnerships . </P> <P> Seattle Slew 's owners sent the colt to Billy Turner , a friend and former steeplechase rider who had trained horses seasonally in Maryland since the early 1960s . Based at Belmont Park in the mid-1970s , Turner accepted Seattle Slew and another Taylor - Hill purchase and sent them to Andor Farm in Monkton , where his wife

( April 2015 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> Cover of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles # 1 ( May 1984 ) <P> The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles first appeared in an American comic book published by Mirage Studios in 1984 in Dover , New Hampshire . The concept arose from a humorous drawing sketched out by Eastman during a casual evening of brainstorming and bad television with Laird . Using money from a tax refund , together with a loan from Eastman 's uncle , the young artists self - published a single - issue comic intended to parody four of the most popular comics of the early 1980s : Marvel Comics ' Daredevil and New Mutants , Dave Sim 's Cerebus , and Frank Miller 's Ronin . The TMNT comic book series has been published in various incarnations by various comic book companies since 1984 . </P> <P> The Turtles started their rise to mainstream success when a licensing agent , Mark Freedman , sought out Eastman and Laird to propose wider merchandising opportunities for the franchise . In 1986 , Dark Horse Miniatures produced a set of 15 - mm ( approximately 0.6 inch ) lead figurines . In January 1987 , Eastman and Laird visited the offices of Playmates Toys , a small California toy company that wanted to expand into the action - figure market . Development was undertaken by a creative team of companies and individuals : Jerry Sachs , advertising agent of Sachs - Finley Agency , brought together the animators at Murakami - Wolf - Swenson headed by Fred Wolf . Wolf and his team combined concepts and ideas with the Playmates marketing crew , headed by Karl Aaronian , vice president ( VP ) of sales Richard Sallis , and VP of Playmates Bill Carlson . </P> <P> Aaronian brought on several designers and concepteur and writer John C. Schulte , and worked out the simple backstory that would live on toy packaging for the entire run of the product and show . Sachs called the high concept pitch `` Green Against Brick '' . The sense of humor was honed with the collaboration of the Murakami - Wolf - Swenson animation firm 's writers . Playmates and their team essentially served as associate producers and contributing writers to the miniseries that was first launched to sell - in the toy action figures . Phrases like `` Heroes in a half shell '' and many of the comical catch phrases and battle cries ( `` Turtle power ! '' ) came from the writing and conceptualization of this creative team . As the series developed , veteran writer Jack Mendelsohn came on board as both a story editor and scriptwriter . David Wise , Michael Charles Hill , and Michael Reaves wrote most of the scripts . </P> <P> The miniseries was repeated three times before it found an audience . Once the product started selling , the show got syndicated and picked up and backed by Group W , which funded the next round of animation . The show then went network , on CBS . Accompanied by the popular Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 1987 TV series , and the subsequent action figure line , Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles became a

Ian Doyle and `` death '' ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the sixth season , Agent Prentiss is notified by her former superiors at Interpol that a man named Ian Doyle has escaped from prison in North Korea . Later , after returning home from work , Prentiss receives several hang - up calls on her home phone from an unknown caller . Upon her return home on a subsequent night , she finds an anonymous gift on her doorstep , containing a single purple flower . She experiences a flashback to a past undercover job in Italy , during which she was acting as his girlfriend and surveiling Doyle . Recognizing that the gift of the purple flower means Doyle knows where she lives , Prentiss flees . In `` Coda '' , Prentiss enlists two former Interpol colleagues in hunting Doyle . Tsia Mosely , one of her Interpol colleagues , gets shot in the head by Doyle while visiting someone . At the end of that episode , Prentiss sneaks out of a meeting in order to save her BAU colleagues from Doyle . </P> <P> At the beginning of `` Lauren '' , it is revealed that Prentiss had been a spy eight years previously , on a task force profiling terrorists ; while undercover , she met Ian Doyle ( an arms dealer ) and became his lover . Her betrayal of Doyle led to his arrest and subsequent imprisonment , including time in a North Korean prison . Prentiss tracks down Doyle in Boston and tries to kill him , but he takes her hostage . Later , Rossi realized that she left their team meeting suddenly in order to protect them from Doyle as it was Prentiss that Doyle was after . Hotch says they will treat Doyle as an unsub and Prentiss as his victim , and profile them just as they would in any other case . </P> <P> They eventually track them down to an abandoned building in Boston and arrive with a SWAT team . Prentiss reveals to Doyle that his son , whom Doyle believed had been killed , is actually alive , and that she staged photos of executing the boy in order to get Doyle to break under interrogation in North Korea . After an intense fight , Doyle manages to stab Prentiss in the abdomen with a broken table leg . Even though she is dying , she refuses to tell him where his son is hiding , and Doyle escapes shortly before Morgan reaches her . In the hospital , the BAU team is notified that Prentiss has died . They are seen attending her funeral . The last scene , however , reveals she is alive and in Paris , where JJ meets her and gives her an envelope with `` passports from three different countries , and a bank account in each one to keep ( her ) comfortable '' . </P> <H3> Returning to the BAU ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the season seven premiere , Morgan captures Doyle and Emily returns to the BAU to assist the team in finding who kidnapped Doyle 's son . The team comes under fire from the judiciary panel for their retaliatory actions to avenge Prentiss 's death , but everyone stands their ground to protect the team . Section Chief Erin Strauss later reveals to them that the committee was persuaded by Prentiss ' defense and eventually decided to lift the BAU 's suspensions although they will still be `` keeping a close eye '' on the members . Reid , who is still angry over her ' death ' refuses to speak to her or JJ or even look them in the eye . At the end of `` Proof '' , Prentiss talks it through with him and they make amends . In the premiere it is also revealed that Garcia has been taking care of her cat , Sergio , and when she inquires about him , Garcia jokingly states that she wants visitation rights . </P> <P> In the season seven finale , Prentiss receives an offer to run Interpol 's London office . While still pondering her decision on the offer , Prentiss decides to leave the BAU . In the season eight premiere , Morgan and Garcia mention seeing her while they were in London and that Emily is doing fine . </P> <P> Brewster returned for guest appearances in the season 9 episode `` 200 '' in 2014 and the season 11 episode `` Tribute '' in early 2016 before returning as a regular cast member in the season 12 episode `` Taboo '' later in the year . </P> <P> She is now the Unit Chief of the BAU , following the departure of Aaron Hotchner . </P> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Ausiello , Michael ( June 14 , 2010 ) . `` Breaking : ' Criminal Minds ' drops A.J.

, Jamestown ( originally called `` James His Towne '' ) were named in honor of King James I . </P> <H3> The selection of Jamestown ( edit ) </H3> <P> On May 14 , 1607 , the colonists chose Jamestown Island for their settlement pretty much because the Virginia Company advised them to select a location that could be easily defended from attacks by other European states that were also establishing New World colonies and were periodically at war with England , notably the Dutch Republic , France , and Spain . </P> <P> The island fit the criteria as it had excellent visibility up and down the James River , and it was far enough inland to minimize the potential of contact and conflict with enemy ships . The water immediately adjacent to the land was deep enough to permit the colonists to anchor their ships , yet have an easy and quick departure if necessary . An additional benefit of the site was that the land was not occupied by the Virginia Indians , most of whom were affiliated with the Powhatan Confederacy . Largely cut off from the mainland , the shallow harbor afforded the earliest settlers docking of their ships . This was its greatest attraction , but it also created a number of challenging problems for the settlers . </P> <H3> Original Council ( edit ) </H3> <P> King James I had outlined the members of the Council to govern the settlement in the sealed orders which left London with the colonists in 1606 . </P> <P> Those named for the initial Council were : </P> <Ul> <Li> Bartholomew Gosnold , Captain of Godspeed </Li> <Li> Christopher Newport , Captain of Susan Constant , later of Sea Venture </Li> <Li> George Kendall , later executed by capital punishment in Jamestown </Li> <Li> John Martin , later founder of Martin 's Brandon Plantation </Li> <Li> George Percy , twice president of the council </Li> <Li> John Ratcliffe , Captain of Discovery , second President of the Council </Li> <Li> John Smith , third President of the Council , and author of many books from the period . </Li> <Li> Edward Maria Wingfield , first President of the Council at Jamestown </Li> </Ul> <H2> The early settlement ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Construction of the fort ( edit ) </H3> <P> The settlers came ashore and quickly set about constructing their initial fort . Many of the settlers who came over on the initial three ships were not well - equipped for the life they found in Jamestown . A number of the original settlers were upper - class gentlemen who were not accustomed to manual labor ; the group included very few farmers or skilled laborers . Also notable among the first settlers was Robert Hunt , chaplain who gave the first Christian prayer at Cape Henry on April 26 , 1607 , and held open - air services at Jamestown until a church was built there . </P> <P> Despite the immediate area of Jamestown being uninhabited , the settlers were attacked less than two weeks after their arrival on May 14 , by Paspahegh Indians who succeeded in killing one of the settlers and wounding eleven more . Within a month , James Fort covered an acre on Jamestown Island . By June 15 , the settlers finished building the triangular James Fort . The wooden palisaded walls formed a triangle around a storehouse , church , and a number of houses . A week later , Newport sailed back for London on Susan Constant with a load of pyrite ( `` fools ' gold '' ) and other supposedly precious minerals , leaving behind 104 colonists and Discovery . </P> <P> It soon became apparent why the Virginia Indians did not occupy the site : Jamestown Island , then a peninsula , is a swampy area , and its isolation from the mainland meant that there was limited hunting available , as most game animals required larger foraging areas . The settlers quickly hunted and killed off all the large and smaller game animals that were found on the tiny peninsula . In addition , the low , marshy area was infested with airborne pests , including mosquitoes , which carried malaria , and the brackish water of the tidal James River was not a good source of water . Over 135 settlers died from malaria , and drinking the salinated and contaminated water caused many to suffer from saltwater poisoning , fevers , and dysentery . Despite original intentions to grow food and trade with the Virginia Indians , the barely surviving colonists became dependent upon supply missions . </P> <H3> First Supply ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Jamestown supply missions § First supply mission <P> Newport returned twice from England with additional supplies in the following 18 months , leading what were termed the First and Second Supply missions . The `` First Supply '' arrived on January 2 , 1608 . It contained insufficient provisions and more than 70 new colonists . Shortly after its arrival , the fort burned down . The Council received additional members from the First and Second Supply missions brought by Captain Newport . These were : Matthew Scrivener ( First Supply ) , and Peter Winne ( Second Supply ) . </P> <H3> Second Supply ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Second Supply Working reconstruction of the Jamestown Glasshouse at Historic Jamestowne , located next to the ruins of the original glassworks constructed in 1608 by settlers from the Second Supply . <P> On October 1 , 1608 , 70 new settlers arrived aboard the English `` Mary and Margaret '' with the Second Supply , following a journey of approximately three months . Included in the Second Supply were Thomas Graves , Thomas Forrest , Esq and `` Mistress Forrest and Anne Burras her maide .

In the United States UHD broadcasts are available to cable subscribers of NBCUniversal , and to subscribers of satellite TV providers DirecTV and Dish Network . </P> <H2> Broadcasters ( edit ) </H2> <P> On 29 June 2015 , the IOC announced that Discovery Communications -- owner of Eurosport , had acquired exclusive rights to the Olympics from 2018 through 2024 across Europe , excluding Russia , on all platforms . Discovery will sub-license its broadcast rights to local free - to - air networks on a territorial basis . Discovery 's rights deal will , initially , not cover France due to pre-existing rights deals with France Télévisions that run through the 2020 Games .

She and her best friend , Maya Hart , explore school and life together while making new friends along the way . She and Maya are in middle school for the first two seasons and then high school beginning in the third season . Riley is very much like her father , having similar personality and character traits , but in the season two episode `` Girl Meets Cory and Topanga '' she finds out how goofy both her parents were in their childhood and now realizes that she is like both of them . </P> <P> In the pilot episode , Riley develops a crush on Lucas Friar , whom she met on the subway on the way to school ; he later becomes her classmate in Cory 's history class ; they go out for the first time in `` Girl Meets First Date '' . During season two Riley and Maya discover that they both like Lucas and he also likes the two of them , but Riley is Lucas ' choice in season three 's two - part episode `` Girl meets Ski Lodge '' . </P> <P> She is periodically portrayed by Lindsey Lamer in flashbacks to Riley and Maya 's childhood , and as an adult in one episode by Mariah Buzolin . </P> <H3> Cory Matthews ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Cory Matthews <P> Cory Matthews ( Ben Savage ) is Riley and Auggie 's father and Topanga 's husband . He has taken a job as a history teacher at John Quincy Adams Middle School for the first two seasons and then Abigail Adams High School beginning the third season . In both settings , his class consists of his daughter and her friends and his history lessons relate to their lives , becoming life lessons for them . In addition to being Riley 's father , he often acts as a father figure to Maya . He also acts as a mentor to his students , much like Mr. Feeny was to Cory , Topanga , and Shawn in Boy Meets World . </P> <H3> Maya Hart ( edit ) </H3> <P> Maya Hart ( Sabrina Carpenter ) is Riley 's best friend . Maya was raised in a single - parent household by her mother Katy ; she is tomboyish , social and street smart , but has a troubled past rooted in the fact that her father Kermit abandoned her and Katy before Maya turned five . Consequently , Maya is wild and rebellious as evidenced by her actions , such as protesting homework and almost lighting a class assignment on fire , but her friendship with Riley and the Matthews ' family keep her grounded most of the time . </P> <P> In the second season three - part episode `` Girl Meets Texas '' , Maya is shown to have deeper feelings for Lucas than she normally lets on ; Riley notices Maya 's feelings and decides to step back from Lucas and let Maya start a relationship with him , which turns out to be awkward . In season 3 , Maya goes through an identity crisis stemming from the fact that she loves Riley so much that Maya was influenced by her , which turned out to be an underlying reason why she liked Lucas . After Riley helped bring Maya back to her true self , she realized that she does n't like Lucas but was protective of Riley and showed her support for Riley and Lucas as a couple . </P> <P> Beginning in the first season , Maya develops a crush on Cory 's younger brother Joshua . He downplays it as a schoolgirl crush until season 3 when , in the two - parter `` Girl Meets Ski Lodge '' , Maya tells him she genuinely likes him , and he finally admits he has feelings for her as well ; he tells her that there is a chance for them and that he is willing to play the long game and see what happens . In the third season , after her mother Katy marries Shawn Hunter , Shawn presents Maya with adoption papers , and Maya accepts , proclaiming herself as Maya Hunter . </P> <P> Maya is periodically portrayed by Ivy George in flashbacks to Maya and Riley 's childhood , and as an adult in one episode by Ruby Lewis . </P> <H3>

was designed to support large families , and was set well below the nine shilling a week subsistence level ( further devalued by inflation ) recommended by Beveridge . In 1952 the rate was increased to eight shillings per week . In 1956 the rate for the third and subsequent children was increased to ten shillings per week , and the maximum age for payments for dependent children was increased from 15 to 18 . </P> <P> In 1968 the rates were increased from 8 to 15 and then 18 shillings and from 10 to 17 shillings and then £ 1 respectively , but this was paid for in part by a reduction in the value of child tax allowance , so that the poor would benefit , but the middle classes did not . </P> <P> In 1975 , the rate was increased to £ 1.50 for each child after the first . </P> <H2> Family income Supplement ( edit ) </H2> <P> Family Income Supplement was introduced in 1970 by the new Conservative government of Edward Heath , following a child poverty campaign , effective from August 1971 , and provided for a payment to families on low wages . Claimants were required to provide payslips , to prove they were in employment , for a minimum of 24 hours per week . Takeup of the benefit was initially poor , with only half of those eligible claiming . </P> <P> Rates were raised largely in line with inflation to 1979 , but several above - inflation increases followed under the Conservative government of Margaret Thatcher . By November 1984 , rates had risen to a maximum £ 23 / week for one child , and an additional maximum of £ 2 / week for each subsequent child , based on a maximum income threshold of £ 90 / week , plus £ 10 / week for each additional child . In addition , the numbers of families in receipt of the benefit , which showed no increase in the number of recipients over the 1970s ( in 1972 , there were 89,000 in receipt , and in 1980 , 88,000 ) , grew increased sevenfold over the course of the 1979 -- 1997 Conservative governments . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Claimants </Th> <Th> Annual Growth rate </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1972 </Td> <Td> 89,000 </Td> <Td> N / A </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1980 </Td> <Td> 85,000 </Td> <Td> 0 % </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1985 </Td> <Td> 199,000 </Td> <Td> 18.5 % </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> 300,000 </Td> <Td> 9.8 % </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1995 </Td> <Td> 600,000 </Td> <Td> 13.6 % </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1999 </Td> <Td> 780,000 </Td> <Td> 6.8 % </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> The Social Security Act 1986 provided for Family Income Supplement to be replaced with Family Credit , a similar scheme . </P> <H2> Child benefit and the end of child tax allowance ( edit ) </H2> <P> 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 . Like the family allowance , which it replaced , the new benefit was not means tested ; an attempt by the Callaghan government to introduce this was thwarted in 1976 when cabinet papers were leaked to the Child Poverty Action Group . </P> <P> The rate payable was £ 1 / week for the first and £ 1.50 for each subsequent child . An addition 50p was payable to lone - parent families . Unlike the family allowance , provision was made for the rate to be uprated , at the Secretary of State 's discretion , each year . By the end of 1978 the rate had been increased to £ 3 / week for each child , with an additional £ 2 / week payable to lone - parent families . </P> <P> In 1979 the Child Tax Allowance was removed , the value of the allowance taken up in higher child benefit payments , now £ 4 / week , plus £ 2.50 / week extra for lone - parent families . </P> <P> Child benefit rates were uprated roughly in line with inflation until 1988 , but subsequently was frozen until 1990 , in order to curb welfare spending . A new higher rate of child benefit , payable for the first child only , was introduced in 1991 . This was £ 1 higher than the rate payable for subsequent children , which was again frozen , at £ 7.25 / week . From 1991 Child Benefit increased in line with inflation , until 1998 , when the new Labour government increased the first child rate by more than 20 % , and abolished the Lone Parent rate . </P> <P> Rates increased again in line with inflation until 2010 , since which time they have been frozen . </P> <P> Effective from 7 January 2013 , Child Benefit , a universal benefit since its introduction , became means tested - those earning more than £ 50,000 per year would have part of their benefit withdrawn , and if earning over £ 60,000 , would receive nothing at all . The charge was based on individual , not household income , hence two earners on £ 49,999 would receive full child benefit , while one earner earning £ 60,000 would receive none . </P> <H2> Current rates ( edit ) </H2> <P> The following are the rates that apply as of March 2017 . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Who the allowance is for </Th> <Th> Weekly rate </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Eldest or only child </Td> <Td> £ 20.70 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Additional children </Td> <Td> £ 13.70 ( per child ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Speenhamland system </Li> <Li> Family Credit </Li> <Li> Working Families Tax Credit </Li> <Li> Child Tax Credit </Li> <Li> Universal Credit </Li> </Ul> <H2>

global recession of 2008 - 09 and the Eurozone crisis of 2011 - 13 destabilized the transition economies , reduced growth rates and increased unemployment . The slowdown hit government revenues and widened fiscal deficits but almost all transition economies had experienced a partial recovery and had maintained low and stable inflation since 2012 . </P> <H2> Process ( edit ) </H2> <P> Transition trajectories have varied considerably in practice . Some nations have been experimenting with market reform for several decades , while others are relatively recent adopters ( e.g. , Macedonia , Serbia and Montenegro ) . In some cases reforms have been accompanied with political upheaval , such as the overthrow of a dictator ( Romania ) , the collapse of a government ( the Soviet Union ) , a declaration of independence ( Croatia ) , or integration with another country ( East Germany ) . In other cases economic reforms have been adopted by incumbent governments with little interest in political change ( China , Laos , Vietnam ) . Transition trajectories also differ in terms of the extent of central planning being relinquished ( e.g. , high centralized coordination among the CIS states ) as well as the scope of liberalization efforts being undertaken ( e.g. , relatively limited in Romania ) . Some countries , such as Vietnam , have experienced macro-economic upheavals over different periods of transition , even transition turmoil . </P> <P> According to the World Bank 's 10 Years of Transition report `` ... the wide dispersion in the productivity of labour and capital across types of enterprises at the onset of transition and the erosion of those differences between old and new sectors during the reform provide a natural definition of the end of transition . '' Mr. Vito Tanzi , Director of the IMF 's Fiscal Affairs Department , gave definition that the transformation to a market economy is not complete until functioning fiscal institutions and reasonable and affordable expenditure programs , including basic social safety nets for the unemployed , the sick , and the elderly , are in place . Mr Tanzi stated that these spending programs must be financed from public revenues generated -- through taxation -- without imposing excessive burdens on the private sector . </P> <P> According to the EBRD a well - functioning market economy should enjoy a diverse range of economic activities , equality of opportunity and convergence of incomes . These outcomes had not yet been achieved by 2013 and progress in establishing well - functioning market economies had stalled since the 1990s . On the EBRD 's measure of transition indicators the transition economies had become `` stuck in transition '' . Price liberalization , small - scale privatization and the opening - up of trade and foreign exchange markets were mostly complete by the end of the 1990s . However economic reform had slowed in areas such governance , enterprise restructuring and competition policy , which remained substantially below the standard of other developed market economies . </P> <P> 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 . </P> <P> Over the decade 1994 to 2004 , the transition economies had closed some of the gap in income per person with the average for the European Union in purchasing power parity terms . These gains had been driven by sustained growth in productivity as obsolete capital stock was scrapped and production shifted to take advantage of the opening - up of foreign trade , price liberalization and foreign direct investment . However the rapid growth rates of that period of catch - up had stalled since the late 2000s and the prospects for income convergence have receded according to the EBRD 's prognosis , unless there are additional productivity - enhancing structural reforms . </P> <P> The recent history of transition suggested that weak political institutions and entrenched interest groups had hindered economic reform . The EBRD 's Transition Report 2013 looked at the relationship between transition and democratization . The report acknowledged that the academic literature was divided on whether economic development fostered democracy but argued that there was nonetheless strong empirical support for the hypothesis . It suggested that countries with high inequality were less inclined to support a limited and accountable state . In general , the proportion of the population with an income of between US $10 -- 50 a day ( the so - called `` middle class '' ) correlated with the level of democracy ; however this correlation disappeared in transition countries with high income inequality . Those countries with large natural resource endowments , for example oil and gas producers like Russia and Kazakhstan , had less accountable governments and faced less electoral pressure to tackle powerful vested interests because the government could rely on resource rents and did not have to tax the population heavily . Countries with a strong institutional environment -- that is , effective rule of law , secure property rights and uncorrupted public administration and corporate governance -- were better placed to attract investment and undertake restructuring and regulatory change . </P> <P> To spur further economic reform and break out of a vicious circle , the EBRD Transition Report 2013

It was released on May 19 , 2017 through Warner Bros. and Machine Shop . It is the last Linkin Park record produced before lead vocalist Chester Bennington 's death on July 20 , 2017 . </P> <P> The band recorded the album between September 2015 and February 2017 in multiple studios . Band members Brad Delson and Mike Shinoda served as the album 's primary producers . The sound of One More Light has been described as being more pop - focused , departing from the alternative metal sound of their previous album , The Hunting Party ( 2014 ) . The album features guest vocal appearances from Pusha T , Stormzy , and Kiiara , and production and songwriting collaborations with Julia Michaels , Justin Tranter , Ross Golan , Andrew Goldstein , blackbear , and Eg White . The album is also the band 's first to feature a title track , as they felt that the song `` One More Light '' was the heart of the album . </P> <P> The album 's lead single , `` Heavy '' , featuring Kiiara , was released on February 16 , 2017 . `` Battle Symphony '' , `` Good Goodbye '' , and `` Invisible '' were released as promotional singles prior to the album 's release . `` Talking to Myself '' and `` One More Light '' were released as radio singles later on . The album performed well commercially , debuting at number one in several countries ; it became the band 's fifth number - one album on the Billboard 200 , as well . It was certified gold in three countries and silver by the BPI in the UK . Despite a positive commercial performance , it received mixed reviews from music critics . This , along with accusations of selling out , prompted an angry response from Bennington . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 Composition </Li> <Li> 3 Recording </Li> <Li> 4 Artwork and packaging </Li> <Li> 5 Promotion </Li> <Li> 6 Reception <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Critical reception </Li> <Li> 6.2 Band response </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 Track listing </Li> <Li> 8 Personnel </Li> <Li> 9 Charts <Ul> <Li> 9.1 Weekly charts </Li> <Li> 9.2 Year - end charts </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 10 Certifications </Li> <Li> 11 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background ( edit ) </H2> <P> In 2014 , Linkin Park released their sixth studio album The Hunting Party . The album , produced by Mike Shinoda and Brad Delson , marked a shift from the overall rock sound in their previous albums produced with help of Rick Rubin . The pre-production of One More Light began in mid-2015 during The Hunting Party Tour by Shinoda on his phone . The main production began as soon as the tour ended . In the process , the band decided to write songs with some external help . They worked with Zayed Hassan , which resulted in his song `` Sailing Through the Clouds '' , Martin Garrix , Hot Karl , Mike Baczor of the band Her0 , The Lonely Island , which resulted in `` Things in My Jeep '' , and One Ok Rock . None of these collaborations , however , made the final version of the album . The album marks the second to be self - produced following The Hunting Party . </P> <H2> Composition ( edit ) </H2> <P> As a new concept to the band , all the songs featured on the album began with vocals being recorded first . They worked on the story first , then the hook , and finally the music . In an interview with Zane Lowe , Shinoda explained the composition as , `` In terms of the style of the record , it 's one of the most diverse stylistically , there 's more genres mashed into this album than anything we 've ever put out . You do n't hear a lot of super heavy guitars . There is n't any screaming on the record . '' He adds , `` To some extent it

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 ) . </P> <P> Reclamation of the territory became government policy under the regime of the dictator General Franco and has remained in place under successive governments following the Spanish transition to democracy . The Gibraltarians themselves reject any such claim and no political party or pressure group in Gibraltar supports union with Spain . In a referendum in 2002 the people of Gibraltar rejected a joint sovereignty proposal on which Spain and the United Kingdom were said to have reached `` broad agreement '' . The British Government has stated that it would `` never ... enter into an agreement on sovereignty without the agreement of the Government of Gibraltar and their people '' . The British Government now refuses to discuss sovereignty without the consent of the Gibraltarians . </P> <P> In 2000 , a political declaration of unity was signed by the members of the Gibraltar Parliament ; it stated `` In essence the declaration stated that the people of Gibraltar will never compromise , give up or trade their sovereignty or their right to self - determination ; that Gibraltar wants good , neighbourly , European relations with Spain ; and that Gibraltar belongs to the people of Gibraltar and is neither Spain 's to claim or Britain 's to give away . '' </P> <P> Spain insists on a bilateral agreement with the UK over sovereignty , whereas the UK will only discuss sovereignty if Gibraltar is included in the discussions . </P> <P> The United Nations understanding of the positions of each party is set out in their 2016 report .

The company also ruled the beginnings of the British Empire in India . </P> <P> 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 . </P> <P> During its first century of operation , the focus of the company was trade , not the building of an empire in India . Company interests turned from trade to territory during the 18th century as the Mughal Empire declined in power and the East India Company struggled with its French counterpart , the French East India Company ( Compagnie française des Indes orientales ) during the Carnatic Wars of the 1740s and 1750s . The battles of Plassey and Buxar , in which the British defeated the Bengali powers , left the company in control of Bengal and a major military and political power in India . In the following decades it gradually increased the extent of the territories under its control , controlling the majority of the Indian subcontinent either directly or indirectly via local puppet rulers under the threat of force by its Presidency armies , much of which were composed of native Indian sepoys . </P> <P> By 1803 , at the height of its rule in India , the British East India company had a private army of about 260,000 -- twice the size of the British Army , with Indian revenues of £ 13,464,561 , and expenses of £ 14,017,473 . The company eventually came to rule large areas of India with its private armies , exercising military power and assuming administrative functions . Company rule in India effectively began in 1757 and lasted until 1858 , when , following the Indian Rebellion of 1857 , the Government of India Act 1858 led to the British Crown 's assuming direct control of the Indian subcontinent in the form of the new British Raj . </P> <P> Despite frequent government intervention , the company had recurring problems with its finances . It was dissolved in 1874 as a result of the East India Stock Dividend Redemption Act passed one year earlier , as the Government of India Act had by then rendered it vestigial , powerless , and obsolete . The official government machinery of British India had assumed its governmental functions and absorbed its armies . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Origins </Li> <Li> 1.2 Formation </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Early voyages to the East Indies </Li> <Li> 3 Foothold in India </Li>

Akers currently has thirty - five total postseason field goal conversions . </P> <P> Akers was selected to the 2010 Pro Bowl , his fourth . He was also named to the NFL All - Decade Team for the 2000s . After the 2010 season , he was selected to his fifth career Pro Bowl . </P> <H3> San Francisco 49ers ( edit ) </H3> <P> Akers was signed by the San Francisco 49ers to a $9 million , three - year contract on July 29 , 2011 .

The record was originally set by Tom Dempsey and was shared with Jason Elam and Sebastian Janikowski until Broncos kicker Matt Prater broke the record with a 64 - yard field goal on December 8 , 2013 . </P> <P> The long field goals by Elam , Janikowski , and Prater were all made in Denver , where the ball has the ability to travel slightly farther in thinner air . Elam kicked his 63 - yard field goal at Mile High Stadium , while the 63 - yarder by Janikowski and the 64 - yarder by Prater were at Sports Authority Field at Mile High . It should be noted in track and field , the IAAF denotes any records set 1,000 metres ( about 3,937 feet ) or more above sea level as altitude - assisted records , and the Dempsey ( Tulane Stadium ) and Akers ( Lambeau Field ) records were set below the 1,000 m threshold . </P> <P> The 49ers advanced to Super Bowl XLVII following the 2012 season , marking Akers ' second appearance in the game .

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 .

. Five species in the genus Pueraria ( P. montana , P. lobata , P. edulis , P. phaseoloides and P. thomsoni ) are closely related and kudzu populations in the United States seem to have ancestry from more than one of the species . Each leaflet is large and ovate with two to three lobes each and hair on the underside . The leaves have the ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen , which can supply up to 95 % of leaf nitrogen to the plant in poor soils . Along the vines are nodes , points at which stems or tendrils can propagate to increase support and attach to structures . As a twining vine , kudzu uses stems or tendrils that can extend from any node on the vine to attach to and climb most surfaces . In addition , the nodes of the kudzu vine have the ability to root when exposed to soil , further anchoring the vine to the ground . The roots are tuberous and are high in starch and water content , and the twining of the plant allows for less carbon concentration in the construction of woody stems and greater concentration in roots , which aids root growth . The roots can account for up to 40 % of total plant biomass . </P> <P> Kudzu 's primary method of reproduction is asexual vegetative spread ( cloning ) which is aided by the ability to root wherever a stem is exposed to soil . For sexual reproduction , kudzu is entirely dependent on pollinators . </P> <P> Although kudzu prefers forest regrowth and edge habitats with high Sun exposure , the plant can survive in full sun or partial shade . These attributes of kudzu made it attractive as an ornamental plant for shading porches in the southeastern United States , but they facilitated the growth of kudzu as it became a `` structural parasite '' of the South , enveloping entire structures when untreated and often referred to as `` the vine that ate the South '' . </P> <P> The word `` kudzu '' comes from the Japanese word for the plant , 葛 , or kuzu . </P> <H3> Origin in Asia ( edit ) </H3> <P> Kudzu is believed to have originated in Japan , where the ecosystem ( primarily the tendency of kudzu to experience above - ground die back over winter ) kept the vine from becoming a nuisance , and it is thought to have been introduced to China and likely Korea . </P> <P> In Japan , kudzu thrives in mountainous regions , ranging from the 44th parallel north ( the island of Hokkaido ) to the 30th parallel north ( the island of Kuchinoshima ) and many of the lowlands and the islands . In Korea , kudzu grows in areas where the temperature can drop to - 30 ° Celsius . </P> <H3> History of U.S. introduction ( edit ) </H3> <P> 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 . </P> <P> Recent U.S. Forest Service information indicates that kudzu is much less of a problem than previously thought . It shows kudzu to cover 227,000 acres ( 92,000 ha ) , with `` an increase of no more than 2,500 acres ( 1,000 ha ) a year '' . This can be compared to invasive Asian privet in the United States , which covers 3,200,000 acres ( 1,300,000 ha ) . </P> <H3> Uses and cultivation ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the United States , kudzu has been used as livestock feed , in fertilizer , and in erosion control , and the vines have been used for folk art . In Korea , kudzu root is harvested for its starch , which is used in various foods including naengmyon , as well as a health food and herbal medicine . In China , kudzu root is used in herbal remedies , teas , and the treatment of alcohol - related problems . The efficacy of the treatment of alcohol - related problems is currently under question , but experiments show promising results . In Japan , the kudzu root starch ( or kuzu root starch ) extracted from kudzu roots is used in cooking and natural medicines , and it is used to

To escape the decline their world is facing , people turn to the OASIS , a virtual reality simulator accessible by players using visors and haptic technology such as gloves . It functions both as an MMORPG and as a virtual society , with its currency being the most stable in the real world . It was created by James Halliday who , when he died , had announced in his will to the public that he had left an Easter egg inside OASIS , and the first person to find it would inherit his entire fortune and the corporation . The story follows the adventures of Wade Watts , starting about five years after the announcement , when he discovers one of the three keys pointing to the treasure . </P> <H3> Plot ( edit ) </H3> <P> Teenager Wade Watts lives with his aunt in Oklahoma City in the `` stacks '' , a poverty - stricken district constructed of trailer homes piled on top of each other . He spends his spare time as a `` gunter '' ( `` egg hunter '' ) , logging on to the OASIS as an avatar under the moniker Parzival , reading Halliday 's journal Anorak 's Almanac , and researching details of the 1980s pop culture , mainly classic video games and movies , that Halliday loved . One day , he realizes that the first key is located on the same virtual world as his own online high school , in a re-creation of the Dungeons & Dragons module Tomb of Horrors . He meets Art3mis , a famous female gunter and blogger who has been exploring the place , and advances further than she does when he defeats the AI Acererak at the video game Joust . He is awarded the Copper Key , and Parzival appears on the `` Scoreboard '' , attracting the world 's attention . </P> <P> Parzival completes the gate 's puzzles by playing through the Dungeons of Daggorath video game and then role - playing Matthew Broderick 's character in the film WarGames . Art3mis clears the gate shortly afterwards , as does Wade 's friend Aech . Wade 's fame enables him to make a living by endorsing virtual products . It also brings him to the attention of Nolan Sorrento , head of operations at Innovative Online Industries ( IOI ) , a multinational corporation bent on taking control of the OASIS and monetizing it through a well - funded effort to find the Easter Egg . When Wade refuses to join IOI , Sorrento attempts to kill him by blowing up the stacks where Wade lives , disguising the explosion as a meth lab accident . </P> <P> Wade escapes Oklahoma City and moves to Columbus , Ohio , where he lies low , assuming the pseudonym Bryce Lynch and living in an anonymous apartment designed for hardcore OASIS users . He considers an alliance with Aech , Art3mis , and Daito and Shoto , two Japanese gunters who have also earned the Copper Key . Instead , he and Art3mis begin a wary friendship , but when he asks her out , Art3mis declines . IOI operatives , called Sixers , attempt to assassinate Wade

It makes up the thickest part of the maxillae . </P> <P> The alveolar process contains a region of compact bone adjacent to the periodontal ligament ( PDL ) , which is called the lamina dura when viewed on radiographs . It is this part which is attached to the cementum of the roots by the periodontal ligament . It is uniformly radiopaque ( or lighter ) . Integrity of the lamina dura is important when studying radiographs for pathological lesions . </P> <P> The alveolar bone or process is divided into the alveolar bone proper and the supporting alveolar bone . Microscopically , both the alveolar bone proper and the supporting alveolar bone have the same components : fibers , cells , intercellular substances , nerves , blood vessels , and lymphatics . </P> <P> The alveolar bone proper is the lining of the tooth socket or alveolus ( plural , alveoli ) . Although the alveolar bone proper is composed of compact bone , it may be called the cribriform plate because it contains numerous holes where Volkmann canals pass from the alveolar bone into the PDL . The alveolar bone proper is also called bundle bone because Sharpey fibers , a part of the fibers of the PDL , are inserted here . Similar to those of the cemental surface , Sharpey fibers in alveolar bone proper are each inserted at 90 degrees , or at a right angle , but are fewer in number , although thicker in diameter than those present in cementum . As in cellular cementum , Sharpey fibers in bone are generally mineralized only partially at their periphery . </P> <P> The alveolar crest is the most cervical rim of the alveolar bone proper . In a healthy situation , the alveolar crest is slightly apical to the cementoenamel junction ( CEJ ) by approximately 1.5 to 2 mm . The alveolar crests of neighboring teeth are also uniform in height along the jaw in healthy situation . </P> <P> The supporting alveolar bone consists of both cortical bone and trabecular bone . The cortical bone , or cortical plates , consists of plates of compact bone on the facial and lingual surfaces of the alveolar bone . These cortical plates are usually about 1.5 to 3 mm thick over posterior teeth , but the thickness is highly variable around anterior teeth . The trabecular bone consists of cancellous bone that is located between the alveolar bone proper and the plates of cortical bone . The alveolar bone between two neighboring teeth is the interdental septum ( or interdental bone ) . </P> <H3> Features ( edit ) </H3> <P> The mineral content of alveolar bone is mostly calcium hydroxyapatite , which is similar to that found in higher percentages in both enamel and dentin , but is most similar to the levels in cementum ( 50 % ) . Like all bone , mature alveolar bone is by weight 60 % mineralized or inorganic material , 25 % organic material , and 15 % water . The minerals of potassium , manganese , magnesium , silica , iron , zinc , selenium , boron , phosphorus , sulfur , chromium , and others are also present but in smaller amounts . Alveolar bone is more easily remodeled than cementum , thus allowing orthodontic tooth movement . When viewing a stained histological section , the remodeled alveolar bone shows arrest lines and reversal lines , as does all bone tissue . </P> <H2> Clinical significance ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Developmental disturbances ( edit ) </H3> <P> The developmental disturbance of anodontia ( or hypodontia , if only one tooth ) , in which tooth germs are congenitally absent , may affect the development of the alveolar processes . This occurrence can prevent the alveolar processes of either the maxillae or the mandible from developing . Proper development is impossible because the alveolar unit of each dental arch must form in response to the tooth germs in the area . </P> <H3> Pathology ( edit ) </H3> <P> After extraction of a tooth , the clot in the alveolus fills in with immature bone , which later is remodeled into mature secondary bone . However , with the loss of teeth , a patient becomes edentulous , either partially or completely , and the alveolar bone undergoes resorption . The underlying basal bone of the body of the maxilla or mandible remains less affected , however , because it does

Guano islands Act - wikipedia <H1> Guano islands Act </H1> Jump to : navigation , search <P> The Guano Islands Act ( 11 Stat. 119 , enacted August 18 , 1856 , codified at 48 U.S.C. ch. 8 § § 1411 - 1419 ) is a United States federal law passed by the U.S. Congress that enables citizens of the United States to take possession of unclaimed islands containing guano deposits . The islands can be located anywhere , so long as they are not occupied and not within the jurisdiction of another government . It also empowers the President of the United States to use the military to protect such interests and establishes the criminal jurisdiction of the United States in these territories . </P> <P> Whenever any citizen of the United States discovers a deposit of guano on any island , rock , or key , not within the lawful jurisdiction of any other Government , and not occupied by the citizens of any other Government , and takes peaceable possession thereof , and occupies the same , such island , rock , or key may , at the discretion of the President , be considered as appertaining to the United States . </P> -- Section 1 of the Guano Islands Act <P> The Act continues to be part of the law of the United States . The most recent Guano Islands Act claim was made to Navassa Island , however , the claim was discarded because an American court ruled the island was already under American jurisdiction ( a claim Haiti disputes ) . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 Criminal jurisdiction </Li> <Li> 3 Claims </Li> <Li> 4 Disputed claims </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs additional citations for verification .

The United States began importing it in 1843 through New York . By the early 1850s , the U.K. imported over 200,000 tons a year , and U.S. imports totaled about 760,000 tons . The `` guano mania '' of the 1850s led to high prices in an oligopolistic market , attempts of price control , fear of resource exhaustion , and eventually the enactment of the Guano Islands Act 1856 in August 1856 . The Act enables U.S. citizens to take possession of unclaimed islands containing guano for the U.S. , and empowering the President to send in armed military to intervene . This encouraged American entrepreneurs to search and exploit new deposits on tiny islands and reefs in the Caribbean and in the Pacific . </P> <P> This is the beginning of the concept of insular areas in U.S. territories . Up to this time , any territory acquired by the U.S. was considered to have become an integral part of the country unless changed by treaty and eventually to have the opportunity to become a state of the Union . With insular areas , land could be held by the federal government without the prospect of its ever becoming a state in the Union . </P> <H2> Criminal jurisdiction ( edit ) </H2> <P> Section 6 provides that criminal acts on or adjacent to these territories `` shall be deemed committed on the high seas , on board a merchant ship or vessel belonging to the United States ; and shall be punished according to the laws of the United States relating to such ships or vessels and offenses on the high seas ... '' The provision was considered and ruled constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court in Jones v. United States , 137 U.S. 202 ( 1890 ) . </P> <H2> Claims ( edit ) </H2> <P> More than 100 islands have been claimed for the United States under the Guano Islands Act , but most claims have been withdrawn . The Act specifically allows the islands to be considered possessions of the U.S. , but it also provides that the U.S. is not obliged to retain possession after guano is exhausted . On the other hand , it also does not say that the U.S. can not retain possession though the guano is exhausted . </P> <P> The Act does not specify what the status of the territory is after it is abandoned by private U.S. interests . </P> <P> The islands still claimed by the United States under the Act are : </P> <Ul> <Li> Baker Island </Li> <Li> Howland Island </Li> <Li> Jarvis Island </Li> <Li> Johnston Atoll </Li> <Li> Kingman Reef / Danger Rock </Li> <Li> Midway Atoll </Li> <Li> Navassa Island ( claimed by Haiti ) </Li> <Li> Bajo Nuevo Bank ( disputed with Colombia ) </Li> <Li> Serranilla Bank ( disputed with Colombia ) </Li> <Li> Swains Island ( part of American Samoa ; no evidence that guano was mined ) </Li> </Ul> <H2> Disputed claims ( edit ) </H2> <P> The claim by the United States under the Guano Act of 1856 to a number of islands are subject to territorial disputes . In most cases , the dispute stems from attempts by a state to expand its exclusive economic zone over the surrounding seas . </P> <P> To cement the U.S. claim to Navassa Island against Haiti , President James Buchanan issued Executive Orders establishing United States territorial jurisdiction beyond just the Guano Act of 1856 . The United States Supreme Court in 1890 ruled the Guano Act constitutional ; and , citing the actions of the Executive Branch , amongst other points in law , determined Navassa Island as pertaining to the United States .

`` a deal breaker '' in order to agree to participate weekly in the project . The show features homages to its Texas heritage . In the pilot , Berg featured former Texas Longhorns football coach Mack Brown as a Dillon booster and had a caller to the fictional Panther Radio compare Panthers ' coach Eric Taylor to Brown . The pilot referred to much of the surrounding area in its scenes . Football scenes were filmed at Pflugerville High School 's Kuempel Stadium and at the RRISD Complex . The Dillon Panther football team and coaches ' uniforms were based on the uniforms of the Pflugerville Panthers . Some of the scenes were filmed at Texas School for the Deaf . </P> <P> Berg 's observation of local high school students while preparing to film the movie inspired his development of some of the characters . For example , Jason Street , the character whose promising football career is ended by a spinal injury in the pilot , was inspired by a local event . David Edwards , a football player from San Antonio 's Madison High , was paralyzed during a November 2003 game . Berg was at the game when this accident occurred ; he was profoundly affected by Edwards ' injury and how it overturned his life . Berg set up a similar incident in the pilot . </P> <H3> Performances ( edit ) </H3> <P> While relying on a script each week , the producers decided at the outset to allow the cast leeway in what they said and did on the show . Their decisions could affect the delivery of their lines and the blocking of each scene . If the actors felt that something was untrue to their character or a mode of delivery did n't work , they were free to change it , provided they still hit the vital plot points . </P> <P> This freedom was complemented by filming without rehearsal and without extensive blocking . Camera operators were trained to follow the actors , rather than having the actors stand in one place with cameras fixed around them . The actors knew that the filming would work around them . Executive producer Jeffrey Reiner described this method as `` no rehearsal , no blocking , just three cameras and we shoot . '' </P> <P> Working in this fashion profoundly influenced everyone involved with the show . Series star Kyle Chandler said : `` When I look back at my life , I 'm going to say , ' Wow , ( executive producer ) Peter Berg really changed my life . ' '' Executive producer and head writer Jason Katims echoed this sentiment , saying : `` When I first came on ( the FNL ) set , I thought , it 's interesting -- this is what I imagined filmmaking would be , before I saw what filmmaking was . '' </P> <H3> Filming ( edit ) </H3> <P> All five seasons of Friday Night Lights were filmed in Austin and Pflugerville . With the show yielding roughly $33 million a year in revenue , other states courted the production company after the state of Texas failed to pay all the rebates it had promised to the show 's producers . The Texas legislature authorized funding to match the offers of other states , and the production company preferred to stay near Austin , so the show remained in Texas . </P> <P> Friday Night Lights is unusual for using actual locations rather than stage sets and sound stage . These factors together with reliance on filming hundreds of locals as extras , gives the series an authentic feel and look . </P> <P> The producers used a documentary - style filming technique . Three cameras were used for each shoot and entire scenes were shot in one take . In contrast , most productions film a scene from each angle and typically repeat the scene several times while readjusting lighting to accommodate each shot . The first takes usually made the final cut . By filming a scene all at once , the producers tried to create an environment for the actors that was more organic and allowed for the best performances . </P> <P> The series borrowed the uniforms , cheerleaders , fans and stadium of the Pflugerville Panthers . Producers shot Pflugerville games and used them as game footage in the series . University of Southern California football announcers Peter Arbogast and Paul McDonald provided off - screen commentary during the football game sequences . The facilities , colors and bobcat logos of Texas State University in San Marcos were used as the setting and creative inspiration for the fictional Texas Methodist University . The show features the fictional Herrmann Field , named for George Herrmann , the head coach of the Pflugerville Panthers . </P> <P> Some scenes were filmed outside Texas . On June 20 , 2010 , scenes were filmed at Temple University , which was to portray the fictional Braemore College . An episode from Julie 's senior year in high school was filmed in the Boston area , at Boston College , Boston University , and Tufts University . </P> <P> Some scenes at fictional Oklahoma Tech University were filmed at Gregory Gym at The University of Texas at Austin . </P> <H3> Marketing ( edit ) </H3> Promotional website with Toyota . <P> Initially targeted at the youth market , the show emphasized the football element . NBC teamed with social networking site Bebo to create a site that allowed students to upload video and photos , as well as create blogs about their local football teams . Students who participated were eligible for one of 10 $5,000 scholarships . NBC had negotiated with Bebo for network and series promotion on Bebo 's network of youth - oriented sites including Piczo , Hi5 , Tickle , Ringo , and FastWeb . </P> <P> To complement this promotion , NBC sent out `` School Spirit '' kits to 1,000 high schools around the

Continental drift - wikipedia <H1> Continental drift </H1> Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the development of the continental drift hypothesis before 1958 . For the contemporary theory , see plate tectonics . For the Russell Banks novel , see Continental Drift ( novel ) . For the fourth film in the Ice Age franchise , see Ice Age : Continental Drift . The continental drift of the last 250 million years Antonio Snider - Pellegrini 's Illustration of the closed and opened Atlantic Ocean ( 1858 ) . <P> 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 . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Early history </Li> <Li> 1.2 Wegener and his predecessors </Li> <Li> 1.3 Rejection of Wegener 's theory , 1910s -- 1950s </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Evidence of continental drift </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 Works cited </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> Further information : Timeline of the development of tectonophysics ( before 1954 ) <H3> Early history ( edit ) </H3> <P> Abraham Ortelius ( Ortelius 1596 ) , Theodor Christoph Lilienthal ( 1756 ) , Alexander von Humboldt ( 1801 and 1845 ) , Antonio Snider - Pellegrini ( Snider - Pellegrini 1858 ) , and others had noted earlier that the shapes of continents on opposite sides of the Atlantic Ocean ( most notably , Africa and South America ) seem to fit together . W.J. Kious described Ortelius ' thoughts in this way : </P> <P> Abraham Ortelius in his work Thesaurus Geographicus ... suggested that the Americas were `` torn away from Europe and Africa ... by earthquakes and floods '' and went on to say : `` The vestiges of the rupture reveal themselves , if someone brings forward a map of the world and considers carefully the coasts of the three ( continents ) . '' </P> <P> Writing in 1889 , Alfred Russel Wallace remarks , `` It was formerly a very general belief , even amongst geologists , that the great features of the earth 's surface , no less than the smaller ones , were subject to continual mutations , and that during the course of known geological time the continents and great oceans had again and again changed places with each other . '' He quotes Charles Lyell as saying , `` Continents , therefore , although permanent for whole geological epochs , shift their positions entirely in the course of ages . '' and claims that the first to throw doubt on this was James Dwight Dana in 1849 . </P> <P> In his Manual of Geology , 1863 , Dana says , `` The continents and oceans had their general outline or form defined in earliest time . This has been proved with respect to North America from the position and distribution of the first beds of the Silurian -- those of the Potsdam epoch. ... and this will probably prove to the case in Primordial time with the other continents also '' . Dana was enormously influential in America -- his Manual of Mineralogy is still in print in revised form -- and the theory became known as Permanence theory . </P> <P> This appeared to be confirmed by the exploration of the deep sea beds conducted by the Challenger expedition , 1872 - 6 , which showed that contrary to expectation , land debris brought down by rivers to the ocean is deposited comparatively close to the shore on what is now known as the continental shelf . This suggested that the oceans were a permanent feature of the Earth 's surface , and did not change places with the continents . </P> <H3> Wegener and his predecessors ( edit ) </H3> Alfred Wegener <P> The idea that the American continents had once formed a single landmass together with Europe and Asia before assuming their present shapes and positions was speculated by several scientists before Alfred Wegener 's 1912 paper . Although Wegener 's theory was formed independently and was more complete than those of his predecessors , Wegener later credited a number of past authors with similar ideas : Franklin Coxworthy ( between 1848 and 1890 ) , Roberto Mantovani ( between 1889 and 1909 ) , William Henry Pickering ( 1907 ) and Frank Bursley Taylor ( 1908 ) . In addition , Eduard Suess had proposed a supercontinent Gondwana in 1885 and the Tethys Ocean in 1893 , assuming a land - bridge between the present continents submerged in the form of a geosyncline , and John Perry had written an 1895 paper proposing that the earth 's interior was fluid , and disagreeing with Lord Kelvin on the age of the earth . </P> <P> For example : the similarity of southern continent geological formations had led Roberto Mantovani to conjecture in 1889 and 1909 that all the continents had once been joined into a supercontinent ; Wegener noted the similarity of Mantovani 's and his own maps of the former positions of the southern continents . In Mantovani 's conjecture , this continent broke due to volcanic activity caused by thermal expansion , and the new continents drifted away from each other because of further expansion of the rip - zones , where the oceans now lie . This led Mantovani to propose an Expanding Earth theory which has since been shown to be incorrect . </P>

She is a foul - tempered monarch whom Carroll himself describes as `` a blind fury '' , and who is quick to give death sentences at the slightest offense . One of her most famous lines she states often is `` Off with their heads ! '' </P> <P> The Queen is referred to as a card from a pack of playing cards by Alice , yet somehow she is able to talk and is the ruler of the lands in the story , alongside her tiny husband , the King of Hearts . She is often confused with the Red Queen from the sequel , Through the Looking - Glass , although the two are very different . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Overview </Li> <Li> 2 Origins </Li> <Li> 3 Illustrations </Li> <Li> 4 Confusion with the Red Queen </Li> <Li> 5 Adaptions <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Disney </Li> <Li> 5.2 Tim Burton 's Alice in Wonderland ( 2010 ) </Li> <Li> 5.3 American McGee 's Alice </Li> <Li> 5.4 The Looking - Glass Wars </Li> <Li> 5.5 Alice in the Country of Hearts </Li> <Li> 5.6 SyFy TV miniseries </Li> <Li> 5.7 Once Upon a Time </Li> <Li> 5.8 Other versions and adaptations </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 Citations </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Overview ( edit ) </H2> <P> Alice observes three playing cards painting white roses red . They drop to the ground face down at the approach of the Queen of Hearts , whom Alice has never met . When the Queen arrives and asks Alice who is lying on the ground ( since the backs of all playing cards look alike ) , Alice tells her that she does not know . The Queen then becomes frustrated and commands that her head be severed . She is deterred by her comparatively moderate husband by being reminded that Alice is only a child . </P> <P> Generally , however , as we are told by Carroll : </P> <Dl> <Dd> The Queen had only one way of settling all difficulties , great or small . ' Off with his head ! ' she said , without even looking round . </Dd> </Dl> <P> One of the Queen 's hobbies -- besides ordering executions -- is croquet ; however , it is Wonderland croquet , where the balls are live hedgehogs and the mallets are flamingoes . This is presumably with the aim that the birds ' blunt beaks should strike , but , as Alice observes , it is complicated by the fact that they keep looking back up at the players - as well as the hedgehogs ' tendency to scuttle away without waiting to be hit . The Queen 's soldiers act as the arches ( or hoops ) on the croquet grounds , but have to leave off being arches every time the Queen has an executioner drag away the victim , so that , by the end of the game in the story , the only players that remain are the Queen herself , the King , and Alice . </P> <P> Despite the frequency of death sentences , it would appear few people are actually beheaded , the King of Hearts , quietly pardons many of his subjects when the Queen is not looking ( although this did not seem to be the case with The Duchess ) , and her soldiers humor her but do not carry out her orders . The Gryphon tells Alice , `` It 's all her fancy : she never executes nobody , you know . '' Nevertheless , all creatures in Wonderland fear the Queen . In the final chapters , the Queen sentences Alice again ( for defending the Knave of Hearts ) , and she offers a bizarre approach towards justice : sentence before verdict . </P> <P> Modern portrayals in popular culture usually let her play the role of a villain because of the menace the character exemplifies , but in the book she does not fill that purpose .

At the time of the recording , Rockwell was estranged from his father and living with Ray Singleton , his father 's ex-wife and the mother of his older half - brother , Kerry Gordy . Singleton served as executive producer on the project and would occasionally play some demo tracks to Berry . The elder Gordy was less than enthusiastic about Rockwell 's music until he heard the single with a familiar voice featured prominently on background vocals . </P> <P> Produced by Curtis Anthony Nolen , the song featured backing vocals by Michael Jackson and Alan Murray on percussion . </P> <P> Due in part to the popularity of the music video , the song is sometimes used for Halloween celebrations , with cover versions found in various collections of Halloween music . </P> <H2> Composition ( edit ) </H2> <P> The song is written in the key of C - sharp minor in 4 4 time with a tempo of 124 beats per minute . The vocals span from C to C . </P> <H2> Music video ( edit ) </H2> <P> The single 's music video underscores the song 's paranoid tone with a haunted house - inspired theme , including imagery of floating heads , ravens , graveyards , and shower scenes referencing Psycho . </P> <H3> Plot ( edit ) </H3> <P> The video opens with Rockwell coming home to discover that the wrong newspaper has been delivered to his doorstep . As he takes a quick shower , he begins to have strange visions ( in a manner recalling The Dead Zone ) of himself being pursued around his house by assorted ghoulish appartions , of the looming figure of a cadaverous - looking man , and of finding a tombstone engraved with his own name . His shower is interrupted when he hears something outside and goes out on his balcony to investigate . He is shocked to see the man from his visions standing at his gate , but as he struggles to get a better look in spite of the sun in his face he is greatly relieved to see that he is merely a mailman , come to deliver the correct newspaper . As the mailman walks up the path towards the front porch , however , a brief close - up of his arm reveals that he is , in fact , a zombie . Rockwell emerges onto the porch to receive the paper , which the mailman genially hands over . As the mailman brings his other arm around to strike , Rockwell has just enough time to notice that he is not human . </P> <H2> Charts and certifications

was approved in the summer at an Imperial Conference and again at a second Conference in the fall . Simultaneously over the year , pilots were trained , and ships prepared for its execution . Authority for the attack was granted at the second Imperial Conference if a diplomatic result satisfactory to Japan was not reached . After final approval by Emperor Hirohito the order to attack was issued at the beginning of December . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background to conflict </Li> <Li> 2 Breaking off negotiations <Ul> <Li> 2.1 War </Li> <Li> 2.2 Intelligence gathering </Li> <Li> 2.3 Planning <Ul> <Li> 2.3. 1 Concept of a Japanese invasion of Hawaii </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Strike force <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Execute order </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Lack of preparation </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background to conflict ( edit ) </H2> <P> Tensions between Japan and the prominent Western countries ( the United States , France , Britain and the Netherlands ) increased significantly during the increasingly militaristic early rule of Emperor Hirohito . Japanese nationalists and military leaders increasingly influenced government policy , promoting a Greater East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere as part of Japan 's alleged `` divine right '' to unify Asia under Hirohito 's rule . </P> Hirohito <P> During the 1930s , Japan 's increasingly expansionist policies brought it into renewed conflict with its neighbors , Russia and China ( Japan had fought the First Sino - Japanese War with China in 1894 -- 95 and the Russo - Japanese War with Russia in 1904 -- 05 ; Japan 's imperialist ambitions had a hand in precipitating both conflicts ) . In March 1933 , Japan withdrew from the League of Nations in response to international condemnation of its conquest of Manchuria and subsequent establishment of the Manchukuo puppet government . On January 15 , 1936 , Japan withdrew from the Second London Naval Disarmament Conference because the United States and Great Britain refused to grant the Japanese Navy parity with theirs . A second war between Japan and China began with the Marco Polo Bridge Incident in July 1937 . </P> <P> Japan 's 1937 attack on China was condemned by the U.S. and several members of the League of Nations including Britain , France , Australia and the Netherlands . Japanese atrocities during the conflict , such as the notorious Nanking Massacre that December , served to further complicate relations with the rest of the world . The U.S. , Britain , France and the Netherlands each possessed colonies in East and Southeast Asia . Japan 's new military power and willingness to use it threatened these Western economic and territorial interests in Asia . </P> <P> Beginning in 1938 , the U.S. adopted a succession of increasingly restrictive trade restrictions with Japan . This included terminating its 1911 commercial treaty with Japan in 1939 , further tightened by the Export Control Act of 1940 . These efforts failed to deter Japan from continuing its war in China , or from signing the Tripartite Pact in 1940 with Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy , officially forming the Axis Powers . </P> <P> Japan would take advantage of Hitler 's war in Europe to advance its own ambitions in the Far East . The Tripartite Pact guaranteed assistance if a signatory was attacked by any country not already involved in conflict with the signatory ; this implicitly meant the U.S. By joining the pact , Japan gained geopolitical power and sent the unmistakable message that any U.S. military intervention risked war on both of her shores -- with Germany and Italy on the Atlantic , and with Japan on the Pacific . The Roosevelt administration would not be dissuaded ; believing the American way of life would be endangered if Europe and the Far East fell under military dictatorship , it committed to help the British and Chinese through loans of money and materiel , and pledged sufficient continuing aid to ensure their survival . Thus , the United States slowly moved from being a neutral power to one preparing for war . </P> <P> On October 8 , 1940 , Admiral James O. Richardson , Commander in Chief , Pacific Fleet , provoked a confrontation with Roosevelt by repeating his earlier arguments to Chief of Naval Operations Admiral Harold R. Stark and Secretary of the Navy Frank Knox that Pearl Harbor was the wrong place for his ships . Roosevelt believed relocating the fleet to Hawaii would exert a `` restraining influence '' on Japan . </P> <P> Richardson asked the President if the United States was going to war . Roosevelt 's view was : </P> <P> At least as early as October 8 , 1940 , ... affairs had reached such a state that the United States would become involved in a war with Japan ... ' that if the Japanese attacked Thailand , or the Kra Peninsula , or the Dutch East Indies we would not enter the war , that if they even attacked the Philippines he doubted whether we would enter the war , but that they ( the Japanese ) could not always avoid making mistakes and that as the war continued and that area of operations expanded sooner or later they would make a mistake and we would enter the war . ' ... </P> <P> Japan 's 1940 move into Vichy - controlled Indochina further raised tensions . When combined with its war with China , withdrawal from the League of Nations , alliance with Germany and Italy and increasing militarization , the move provoked an attempt to restrain Japan economically . The United States embargoed scrap metal shipments to Japan and closed the Panama Canal to Japanese shipping . This particularly hit Japan 's economy hard because 74.1 % of Japan 's scrap iron came from the United States in 1938 . Also , 93 % of Japan 's copper in 1939 came from the United States

For sponsorship purposes , from 1994 to 2001 it was called the Carling Golden Boot and from 2001 to 2004 , the Barclaycard Golden Boot ; as of 2015 , it is referred to as the Barclays Golden Boot . In addition to the trophy , winners of the Golden Boot are usually given £ 1,000 for every goal they scored throughout the season to donate to a charity of their choice , although Robin van Persie was given £ 30,000 after scoring 26 goals in the 2012 -- 13 season . </P> <P> The Premier League was founded in 1992 , when the clubs of the First Division left The Football League and established a new commercially independent league that negotiated its own broadcast and sponsorship agreements . The newly formed league had no sponsor for its inaugural season until Carling agreed to a four - year £ 12 million deal that started the following season , and it was simply known as the Premier League in its first year . As a result , the award was called the `` Premier League Golden Boot '' when Teddy Sheringham received the inaugural award in 1993 . Originally consisting of 22 teams , the league contracted to 20 teams after the 1994 -- 95 season ; this reduced the number of games played from 42 to 38 . </P> <P> Thierry Henry has won the Golden Boot on four occasions , more than any other player . Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink and Dwight Yorke were the first non-English and non-European winners , respectively , when they shared the award with Michael Owen in 1999 . Alan Shearer is the only player other than Henry to win the award in three consecutive seasons . Phillips , Henry , Cristiano Ronaldo and Luis Suárez won the European Golden Shoe in the same season as the Premier League Golden Boot , with Henry achieving this on two occasions ( 2004 and 2005 ) . Shearer , Hasselbaink and Van Persie are the only players to win the Golden Boot with two clubs . </P> <P> Andy Cole and Shearer -- with 34 goals in 1993 -- 94 and 1994 -- 95 , respectively -- scored the most goals to win the Golden Boot , while Nicolas Anelka scored the fewest to clinch the award outright , with 19 goals in 2008 -- 09 . The all - time record for lowest number of goals scored to be bestowed the award , however , is 18 goals ; this was achieved during the 1997 -- 98 and 1998 -- 99 seasons , when the award was shared between three players both times . The latter season marked the last time the Golden Boot was shared until 2010 -- 11 , when Dimitar Berbatov and Carlos Tevez both scored 20 goals that season to tie for the award .

As the crow flies - Wikipedia <H1> As the crow flies </H1> Jump to : navigation , search A crow flying For other uses , see As the Crow Flies ( disambiguation ) . <P> As the crow flies , similar to in a beeline , is an idiom for the most direct path between two points . This meaning is attested from the early 19th century , and appeared in Charles Dickens 's novel Oliver Twist : </P> <P> We cut over the fields at the back with him between us -- straight as the crow flies -- through hedge and ditch . </P> <P> According to BBC Focus , `` ' As the crow flies ' is a pretty common saying but it is n't particularly accurate '' . Crows do not swoop in the air like swallows or starlings , but they often circle above their nests . Crows do conspicuously fly alone across open country , but neither crows nor bees ( as in `` beeline '' ) fly in particularly straight lines . Before modern navigational methods were introduced , Crows were kept upon ships and released when land was sought . Crows instinctively fly towards land .

Further studies began to associate these areas with emotional and motivational processes and linked them to subcortical components that were grouped into the limbic system .

The rationale for this is that private international capital markets function imperfectly and many countries have limited access to financial markets . Such market imperfections , together with balance - of - payments financing , provide the justification for official financing , without which many countries could only correct large external payment imbalances through measures with adverse economic consequences . The IMF provides alternate sources of financing . </P> <P> Upon the founding of the IMF , its three primary functions were : to oversee the fixed exchange rate arrangements between countries , thus helping national governments manage their exchange rates and allowing these governments to prioritise economic growth , and to provide short - term capital to aid the balance of payments . This assistance was meant to prevent the spread of international economic crises . The IMF was also intended to help mend the pieces of the international economy after the Great Depression and World War II .

However , the term is widely used in studies of zoological populations ( veterinary epidemiology ) , although the term `` epizoology '' is available , and it has also been applied to studies of plant populations ( botanical or plant disease epidemiology ) . </P> <P> The distinction between `` epidemic '' and `` endemic '' was first drawn by Hippocrates , to distinguish between diseases that are `` visited upon '' a population ( epidemic ) from those that `` reside within '' a population ( endemic ) . The term `` epidemiology '' appears to have first been used to describe the study of epidemics in 1802 by the Spanish physician Villalba in Epidemiología Española . Epidemiologists also study the interaction of diseases in a population , a condition known as a syndemic . </P> <P> The term epidemiology is now widely applied to cover the description and causation of not only epidemic disease , but of disease in general , and even many non-disease , health - related conditions , such as high blood pressure and obesity . Therefore , this epidemiology is based upon how the pattern of the disease cause changes in the function of everyone . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> The Greek physician Hippocrates is known as the father of medicine , sought a logic to sickness ; he is the first person known to have examined the relationships between the occurrence of disease and environmental influences . Hippocrates believed sickness of the human body to be caused by an imbalance of the four humors ( air , fire , water and earth `` atoms '' ) . The cure to the sickness was to remove or add the humor in question to balance the body . This belief led to the application of bloodletting and dieting in medicine . He coined the terms endemic ( for diseases usually found in some places but not in others ) and epidemic ( for diseases that are seen at some times but not others ) . </P> <H3> Modern era ( edit ) </H3> See also : History of emerging infectious diseases <P> In the middle of the 16th century , a doctor from Verona named Girolamo Fracastoro was the first to propose a theory that these very small , unseeable , particles that cause disease were alive . They were considered to be able to spread by air , multiply by themselves and to be destroyable by fire . In this way he refuted Galen 's miasma theory ( poison gas in sick people ) . In 1543 he wrote a book De contagione et contagiosis morbis , in which he was the first to promote personal and environmental hygiene to prevent disease . The development of a sufficiently powerful microscope by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1675 provided visual evidence of living particles consistent with a germ theory of disease . </P> <P> Wu Youke ( 1582 -- 1652 ) developed the concept that some diseases were caused by transmissible agents , which he called liqi ( pestilential factors ) . His book Wenyi Lun ( Treatise on Acute Epidemic Febrile Diseases ) can be regarded as the main etiological work that brought forward the concept , ultimately attributed to Westerners , of germs as a cause of epidemic diseases ( source :

The locals warn the group that removing the tablet will end its magic . In present day New York City , Larry Daley remains the night guard of the American Museum of Natural History . He , Theodore Roosevelt , Sacagawea , Attila the Hun , Jedediah , Octavius and Dexter the capuchin monkey help re-open the Hayden Planetarium . A new wax Neanderthal resembling Larry named Laaa is introduced , identifying Larry as his father . Ahkmenrah shows Larry that the tablet is corroding , which later causes the exhibits to act erratically , causing mayhem at the planetarium 's reopening . Afterwards , Larry catches his son Nick throwing a house party , who plans on taking a gap year to sort out his life . </P> <P> Larry reunites with Cecil , now in retirement , who realises the end of the tablet 's magic will cause the exhibits to become lifeless . Cecil explains Ahkmenrah 's parents , Merenkahre and Shepseheret , may be able to restore the tablet 's power , but are located in the British Museum . Larry convinces the museum 's curator , Dr. McPhee , to let him ship Ahkmenrah to London to restore the tablet , convinced that McPhee knows its secrets . Larry and Nick travel to the British Museum , bypassing the night guard Tilly . To Larry 's surprise , Roosevelt , Sacagawea , Attila , Jed , Octavius , Dexter , and Laaa have come as well . Laaa is left to stand guard while the others search the museum , the tablet bringing its own exhibits to life . </P> <P> They are joined by a wax Sir Lancelot who helps them fight off the aggressive museum exhibits like a Xiangliu statue and a Triceratops skeleton . Jedediah and Octavius fall through a ventilation shaft , but are rescued from an erupting Pompeii model by Dexter .

It is most famous for serving as the filming site for the Twin Pines / Lone Pine Mall for the 1985 movie Back to the Future starring Michael J. Fox and Christopher Lloyd . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Back to the Future </Li> <Li> 3 Nobel Son </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> Puente Hills Mall was built in 1974 after the completion of the Pomona Freeway a few years earlier . It opened with four primary anchors in a cross-shaped design by The Hahn Company . One of the mall 's original tenants was the first Foot Locker store and that store still stands there today . </P> <P> Two anchors departed in 1996 , The Broadway ( at the time purchased by Macy 's ) and JCPenney . At the time of JCPenney 's departure , the mall had about a 50 % occupancy . The mall was extensively renovated afterwards and now features a 20 - screen AMC Theatres megaplex , and stores traditionally found in power centers such as 24 Hour Fitness and Burlington Coat Factory , in addition to the remaining two original anchors , Macy 's ( formerly Robinsons - May ) and Sears . Linens ' n Things , which had an anchor in the store , closed its Puente Hills store in 2008 as a nationwide effort to take the company 's operations online . On August 28 , 2010 , the Japanese sports entertainment chain Round1 opened Round1 Bowling & Amusement , a state - of - the - art video game arcade and bowling alley with karaoke rooms , as a new anchor to Puente Hills Mall , marking the Japanese company 's first store overseas , taking Linens ' n Things ' old anchor . </P> <P> It also includes popular stores such as Forever 21 , Hollister , Old Navy , Hot Topic , Zumiez , Aéropostale and G by Guess . The newest addition to the mall , Toys R Us , opened its doors in June 2011 , replacing Circuit City . However , Toys R Us is closing all locations in efforts to close the company . This Toys R Us was previously located in the Plaza at Puente Hills on Gale Avenue in Industry . </P> <P> Today the mall is almost fully occupied and is the regional hub of a shopping and entertainment district that includes restaurants , auto dealerships , big - box stores , and a go - kart track . </P> <P> The center of the mall previously featured a large cubed water fountain , then a merry - go - round attraction built in 1990 , but it was later removed by the mall 's owners , Krausz Companies , as they were losing money in its operation . An East Asian - style koi pond replaced the carousel , but was removed as of 2006 . The koi were moved to Sycamore Lake at Rose Hills Memorial Park in Whittier . The mall underwent a full interior makeover in 2007 , shortly after the removal of the koi pond . </P> <P> Due to the large and influential Asian immigrant populations residing and / or operating businesses in nearby areas ( notably in Industry , Hacienda Heights , Rowland Heights , Walnut , and Diamond Bar ) , past owners of the mall redesigned some elements of Puente Hills Mall in order to conform to feng shui principles . There are also outlets of the Filipino chain restaurants Max 's of Manila , designed to attract the large Filipino - American population in the Rowland Heights , Walnut , and West Covina areas . Jolibee and Chow 's King outlets have since closed . Puente Hills Mall also caters to a large Latino population that primarily reside in the La Puente , El Monte , Hacienda Heights , Rowland Heights , and West Covina areas . </P> <H2> Back to the Future ( edit ) </H2> <P> Puente Hills Mall served as a filming location for the fictional Twin Pines Mall ( later Lone Pine Mall ) in the 1985 film Back to the Future . In the film , Doc Brown ( Christopher Lloyd ) uses the mall 's south parking lot ( visible in the above photograph ) to stage his time travel experiments with the DeLorean time machine . A JCPenney store and Robinson 's features prominently in the background . A Ross Dress For Less store can be seen in a strip mall across the street . The scenes were filmed in January 1985 .

The storyline follows five teenagers , each members of different high school cliques , who spend a Saturday in detention together and come to realize that they are all more than their respective stereotypes , while facing a strict disciplinarian . </P> <P> The film premiered in Los Angeles on February 7 , 1985 . Universal Pictures released the film in cinemas in the United States on February 15 , 1985 . It received critical acclaim and earned $51.5 million on a $1 million budget . Critics consider it one of the greatest high school films of all time , as well as one of Hughes ' most memorable and recognizable works . The media referred to the film 's five main actors as members of a group called the `` Brat Pack . '' </P> <P> The title comes from the nickname invented by students and staff for morning detention at New Trier High School , the school attended by the son of one of John Hughes ' friends . Thus , those who were sent to detention before school starting time were designated members of `` The Breakfast Club .

While not complete strangers , each of them comes from a different clique , and they seem to have nothing in common : the beautiful and pampered Claire Standish , the state champion wrestler Andrew Clark , the geekish intellect Brian Johnson , the introverted outcast Allison Reynolds , and the rebellious delinquent John Bender . </P> <P> They gather in the high school library , where assistant principal Richard Vernon instructs them not to speak , move from their seats , or sleep until they are released at 3 : 00 p.m. He assigns them a thousand - word essay , in which each must describe `` who you think you are . '' He then leaves , returning only occasionally to check on them . John , who has a particularly antagonistic relationship with Vernon , ignores the rules and frequently riles up the other students , teasing Brian and Andrew and harassing Claire . Allison is initially quiet , except for an occasional random outburst . Over the course of the day , Vernon gives John several weekends ' worth of additional detention and even locks him in a storage closet , but he escapes and returns to the library . </P> <P> The students pass the hours by talking , arguing , and , at one point , smoking marijuana that John retrieves from his locker . Gradually , they open up to each other and reveal their deepest personal secrets : Allison is a compulsive liar ; Andrew can not easily think for himself ; John comes from an abusive household ; Brian was planning suicide with a flare gun due to the inability to cope with a bad grade ; and Claire is a virgin who feels constant pressure from her friends to be a certain way . They also discover that they all have strained relationships with their parents , which are a key cause for their personal issues as well :

This , of course , may be subject to national variety such as the different varieties of American English and British English . </P> <H3> Topics ( edit ) </H3> <P> Some style guides focus on specific topic areas such as graphic design , including typography . Website style guides cover a publication 's visual and technical aspects along with text . </P> <P> Style guides that cover usage may suggest ways of describing people that avoid racism , sexism , and homophobia .

Blood volume - wikipedia <H1> Blood volume </H1> Jump to : navigation , search <P> Blood volume is the volume of blood ( both red blood cells and plasma ) in the circulatory system of any individual . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Humans <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Semi-automated system </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Other animals </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Humans ( edit ) </H2> <P> A typical adult has a blood volume of approximately 5 liters , with females generally having less blood volume than males . Blood volume is regulated by the kidneys . </P> <P> Blood volume ( BV ) can be calculated given the hematocrit ( HC ; the fraction of blood that is red blood cells ) and plasma volume ( PV ) , with the hematocrit being regulated via the blood oxygen content regulator : </P> <Dl> <Dd> B V = P V 1 − H C ( \ displaystyle BV = ( \ frac ( PV ) ( 1 - HC ) ) ) </Dd> </Dl> <P> Blood volume measurement may be used in people with congestive heart failure , chronic hypertension , renal failure and critical care . </P> <P> The use of relative blood volume changes during dialysis is of questionable utility . </P> <P> Total Blood Volume can be measured manually via the Dual Isotope or Dual Tracer Technique , a classic technique , available since the 1950s . This technique requires double labeling of the blood ; that is 2 injections and 2 standards ( 51Cr - RBC for tagging red blood cells and I - HAS for tagging plasma volume ) as well as withdrawing and re-infusing patients with their own blood for blood volume analysis results . This method may take up to 6 hours for accurate results . </P> <H3> Semi-automated system ( edit ) </H3> <P> Blood Volume may also be measured semi-automatically . The Daxor BVA - 100 consists of an automated well counter interfaced with a computer . It is able to report Total Blood Volume ( TBV ) , Plasma Volume ( PV ) and Red Cell Volume ( RCV ) using the indicator dilution principle , microhematocrit centrifugation and the Ideal Height and Weight Method . The indicator or tracer , is an I - 131 albumin injection . An equal amount of the tracer is injected into a known and unknown volume . Clinically , the unknown volume is the patient 's blood volume , with the tracer having been injected into the patient 's blood stream and tagged to the blood plasma . Once the tracer is injected a technician takes five blood samples which undergo microhematocrit centrifugation to extrapolate true blood volume at time 0 . The concentration of the I - 131 in the blood is determined from the blood radioactivity against the standard , which has a known I - 131 dilution in a known volume . The unknown volume is inversely proportional to the concentration of the indicator in the known volume ; the larger the unknown volume , the lower the tracer concentration , thus the unknown volume can be calculated . The microhematocrit data along with the I - 131 indicator data provide a normalized hematocrit number , more accurate than hematocrit or peripheral hematocrit measurements . Measurements are taken 5 times in 6 minute intervals so that the BVA - 100 can calculate the albumin transudation time to understand the flux of liquid through capillary membranes . </P> <H2> Other animals ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Animal </Th> <Th> Blood volume ( ml / kg ) </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cat </Td> <Td> 55 ( 47 - 66 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cow </Td> <Td> 55 ( 52 - 57 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Dog </Td> <Td> 86 ( 79 - 90 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ferret </Td> <Td> 75 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gerbil </Td> <Td> 67 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Goat </Td> <Td> 70 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Guinea pig </Td> <Td> 75 ( 67 - 92 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Hamster </Td> <Td> 78 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Horse </Td> <Td> 76 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Human </Td> <Td> 77 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Monkey ( rhesus ) </Td> <Td> 54 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Mouse </Td> <Td> 79 ( 78 - 80 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Pig </Td> <Td> 65 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rabbit </Td> <Td> 56 ( 44 - 70 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Rat </Td> <Td> 64 ( 50 - 70 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sheep </Td> <Td> 60 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Marmoset </Td> <Td> 60 - 70 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> The table at right shows circulating blood volumes , given as volume per kilogram , for healthy adults and some animals .

Occupation of the Ruhr - wikipedia <H1> Occupation of the Ruhr </H1> Jump to : navigation , search French soldiers in the Ruhr in 1923 <P> 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 . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 Occupation </Li> <Li> 3 Passive resistance <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Sympathy for Germany </Li> <Li> 3.2 Poincaré </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 British perspective </Li> <Li> 5 Aftermath <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Dawes Plan </Li> <Li> 5.2 German politics </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 Sources <Ul> <Li> 8.1 French and German </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <H2> Background ( edit ) </H2> Map of the occupation of the Rhineland ( 1918 -- 1919 ) <P> The Ruhr region had been occupied by Allied troops in the immediate aftermath of the First World War , during the Allied occupation of the Rhineland ( 1918 -- 1919 ) . Under the terms of the Treaty of Versailles ( 1919 ) , which formally ended the war , Germany accepted responsibility for the damages caused in the war and was obliged to pay war reparations to the various Allies , principally France . The total sum of reparations demanded from Germany -- around 226 billion gold marks ( US $ 878 billion in 2018 ) -- was decided by an Inter-Allied Reparations Commission . In 1921 , the amount was reduced to 132 billion ( at that time , $31.4 billion ( US $442 billion in 2018 ) , or £ 6.6 billion ( UK £ 284 billion in 2018 ) ) . Even with the reduction , the debt was huge . As some of the payments were in raw materials , German factories were unable to function , and the German economy suffered , further damaging the country 's ability to pay . </P> <P> 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 : </P> <P> Judging others by themselves , the English , who are blinded by their loyalty , have always thought that the Germans did not abide by their pledges inscribed in the Versailles Treaty because they had not frankly agreed to them ... We , on the contrary , believe that if Germany , far from making the slightest effort to carry out the treaty of peace , has always tried to escape her obligations , it is because until now she has not been convinced of her defeat ... We are also certain that Germany , as a nation , resigns herself to keep her pledged word only under the impact of necessity . </P> <H2> Occupation ( edit ) </H2> French Chasseurs Alpins in Buer <P> Poincaré decided to occupy the Ruhr on 11 January 1923 to extract the reparations himself . The real issue during the Ruhrkampf ( Ruhr struggle ) , as the Germans labelled the battle against the French occupation , was not the German defaults on coal and timber deliveries but the sanctity of the Versailles Treaty . Poincaré often argued to the British that letting the Germans defy Versailles in regards to the reparations would create a precedent that would lead to the Germans dismantling the rest of the Versailles treaty . Finally , Poincaré argued that once the chains that had bound Germany in Versailles were destroyed , it was inevitable that Germany would plunge the world into another world war . </P> <P> 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

It has been adapted into two cinema films and two television presentations . The novella has remained an essential part of the English subject syllabus taught at Pakistan 's higher secondary school level for the past 30 years , although its choice has received some criticism in the recent past due to perceived lack of relevance to the local society and education system . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Plot summary </Li> <Li> 3 Inspiration </Li> <Li> 4 Adaptations <Ul> <Li> 4.1 1936 radio </Li> <Li> 4.2 1938 stage </Li> <Li> 4.3 1939 film </Li> <Li> 4.4 1939 radio </Li> <Li> 4.5 1969 film </Li> <Li> 4.6 1982 stage musical </Li> <Li> 4.7 1984 serial </Li> <Li> 4.8 2002 TV film </Li> <Li> 4.9 Parodies </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> The story was originally issued in 1933 , as a supplement to the British Weekly , an evangelical newspaper . It came to prominence when it was reprinted as the lead piece of the April 1934 issue of The Atlantic . The success of the Atlantic Monthly publication prompted a book deal between the author and the US publisher Little , Brown and Company , who published the story in book form for the first time in June 1934 . The Great Depression had elevated business risks for most publishing houses , and Little , Brown were no exception . They cautiously released a small first print run . Public demand for more was immediate , and Little , Brown went into an almost immediate reprinting the same month . Public demand remained strong , and Little , Brown continued to reprint the book in cautious lots for many months , with at least two reprintings per month . </P> <P> The first British edition went to press in October 1934 . The publishers were Hodder & Stoughton , who had observed the success of the book in the United States , and they released a much larger first print run . It sold 15,000 copies on the day of publication , and they quickly found themselves going into reprints as the reading public 's demand for the book proved insatiable . With the huge success of this book , James Hilton became a best - selling author . </P> <H2> Plot summary ( edit ) </H2> <P> The novella tells the story of a beloved school teacher , Mr Chipping , and his long tenure at Brookfield School , a fictional minor British boys ' public boarding school located in the fictional village of Brookfield , in the Fenlands . Mr Chips , as the boys call him , is conventional in his beliefs and exercises firm discipline in the classroom . His views broaden , and his pedagogical manner loosens after he marries Katherine , a young woman whom he meets on holiday in the Lake District . Katherine charms the Brookfield teachers and headmaster , and quickly wins the favour of Brookfield 's pupils . Despite Chipping 's mediocre credentials and his view that Greek and Latin ( his academic subjects ) are dead languages , he is an effective teacher who becomes highly regarded by students and the school 's governors . In his later years , he develops an arch sense of humour that pleases everyone . </P> <P> Although the book is unabashedly sentimental , it depicts the sweeping social changes that Chips experiences throughout his life : he begins his tenure at Brookfield in September 1870 , at the age of 22 , as the Franco - Prussian War was breaking out ; he dies in November 1933 , at the age of 85 , shortly after Adolf Hitler 's rise to power . </P> <H2> Inspiration ( edit ) </H2> <P> The setting for Goodbye , Mr. Chips is probably based on The Leys School , Cambridge , where James Hilton was a pupil ( 1915 -- 18 ) . Hilton is reported to have said that the inspiration for the protagonist , Mr. Chips , came from many sources , including his father , who was the headmaster of Chapel End School . Mr. Chips is also likely to have been based on W.H. Balgarnie , a master at The Leys ( 1900 -- 30 ) , who was in charge of the Leys Fortnightly ( in which Hilton 's first short stories and essays were published ) . Over the years , old boys wrote to Geoffery Houghton , a master at The Leys and a historian of the school , confirming the links between Chipping and Balgarnie , who eventually died at Porthmadog at the age of 82 . Balgarnie had been linked with the school for 51 years and spent his last years in modest lodgings nearby . Like Mr. Chips , Balgarnie

unit patches was for the 81st Infantry Division . This unit trained at Fort Jackson , South Carolina . They created patches showing a wildcat , so that they could identify each other quickly in combat . Some officers questioned this , but General John Pershing decided it was a good idea , so the army started to implement it for all units . </P> <P> The first commendation ever used by the U.S. military was the original Purple Heart , designed personally by George Washington . It was originally a medal for valor , and at the time was the only one issued by the U.S. Army . It fell out of use after the American Revolution but was later revived and became the modern commendation for wounds in battle , which is how it is used today . World War I was the first time that the army began to award a variety of medals and decorations , except for the Medal of Honor , which was first awarded during the Civil War . </P> <P> The Combat Infantryman Badge and the Expert Infantryman Badge were created in 1943 by the United States Secretary of War . The combat infantryman badge was originally awarded for valor in combat . In 1947 , every soldier who earned it was given a Bronze Star , and since then , it is awarded for having participated in ground combat . </P> <H2> Current dress / service uniform ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs additional citations for verification .

An ARNG sergeant in 2012 wearing the enlisted version of the ASU . <H3> History ( edit ) </H3> <P> The Army currently uses the blue Army Service Uniform . According to Army Regulation 670 - 1 : Wear and Appearance of Army Uniforms and Insignia , Army White , and Army Blue uniforms are considered Dress Uniforms . The Army Service Uniform seeks to combine these distinctions through wear stipulations . Possession and use of the blue ASU is now mandatory for all soldiers as of October 1 , 2015 , when the green class A was retired . As of fall 2010 , enlisted soldiers receive the blue service uniform as part of their basic clothing bag issue when they enter the army during initial entry training . The army further provides active - duty enlisted soldiers an annual clothing allowance to maintain proper fit and appearance of their basic clothing bag issue items . The army includes a series of stipends in this annual clothing allowance towards the replacement of the green service uniform and all basic clothing bag items . </P> <P> Commissioned officers are given a one - time stipend when commissioned to purchase their required uniform items . Officers then maintain proper fit and appearance of their uniform items throughout their career . The army requires officers to purchase and maintain only the blue service uniform . </P> <P> To streamline the number of uniforms soldiers purchase and maintain throughout their careers , the army has phased out the green and white service uniforms and retained the blue service uniform as the army service uniform . </P> <P> The ASU was announced in 2006 by then - Army Chief of Staff General Peter Schoomaker , and will serve as the U.S. Army 's dress , garrison , and ceremonial uniform . Since the new army uniform is now standard , the only green uniform remaining in the U.S. military are the olive green Marine Corps service uniform . </P> <P> The ASU made its `` debut '' at the 2007 State of the Union Address , when General Schoomaker wore his army blue uniform . </P> <P> The ASU used the preexisting `` army blue '' uniform as a model . Accordingly , in terms of color the ASU resembles the campaign uniforms worn by soldiers during the Mexican -- American War , American Civil War , Indian Wars , and the Spanish -- American War prior to the introduction of khaki uniforms in the 1890s ( phased out in 1985 ) and olive drab uniforms in 1902 ( phased out and replaced with `` army green '' between 1955 and 1957 ) , making the blue uniform a dress uniform . Dress uniforms of dark - blue tunics and light - blue trousers were worn by all ranks until 1917 and reintroduced in a modernized form ( with open collar and tie ) for officers and warrant officers in 1937 . </P> <H3> Description ( edit ) </H3> <P> The ASU includes a midnight blue coat and low waist trousers for male soldiers ; and a midnight blue coat , slacks and skirt for female soldiers . The fabric for the ASU is heavier and more wrinkle resistant than previously manufactured uniforms and will consist of 55 % wool and 45 % polyester material . The ASU coat has a tailored , athletic cut to improve uniform fit and appearance . The ASU includes an improved heavier and wrinkle resistant short and long - sleeved white shirt with permanent military creases and shoulder loops . The JROTC version replaces the white shirt with the prototype grey shirt and gold braid is not worn on the blue trousers or on the sleeves of the class A coat . Compared to the Army 's previous uniforms , the ASU does not include a garrison cap ; soldiers will continue to wear the Army 's berets . </P> <P> The army encourages soldiers and leaders who own the current army blue uniform to wear it , when appropriate , as their dress , class `` A '' , or class `` B '' Uniform .

Each of the three `` Presidencies '' into which the East India Company divided India for administrative purposes maintained their own armies . Of these , the Army of the Bengal Presidency was the largest . Unlike the other two , it recruited heavily from among high - caste Hindus and comparatively wealthy Muslims . The Muslims formed a larger percentage of the 18 irregular cavalry units within the Bengal army , whilst Hindus were mainly to be found in the 84 regular infantry and cavalry regiments . The sepoys were therefore affected to a large degree by the concerns of the landholding and traditional members of Indian society . In the early years of Company rule , it tolerated and even encouraged the caste privileges and customs within the Bengal Army , which recruited its regular soldiers almost exclusively amongst the landowning Brahmins and Rajputs of the Bihar and Awadh regions . These soldiers were known as Purbiyas . By the time these customs and privileges came to be threatened by modernising regimes in Calcutta from the 1840s onwards , the sepoys had become accustomed to very high ritual status and were extremely sensitive to suggestions that their caste might be polluted . </P> <P> The sepoys also gradually became dissatisfied with various other aspects of army life . Their pay was relatively low and after Awadh and the Punjab were annexed , the soldiers no longer received extra pay ( batta or bhatta ) for service there , because they were no longer considered `` foreign missions '' . The junior European officers became increasingly estranged from their soldiers , in many cases treating them as their racial inferiors . In 1856 , a new Enlistment Act was introduced by the Company , which in theory made every unit in the Bengal Army liable to service overseas . Although it was intended to apply only to new recruits , the serving sepoys feared that the Act might be applied retroactively to them as well . A high - caste Hindu who travelled in the cramped conditions of a wooden troop ship could not cook his own food on his own fire , and accordingly risked losing caste through ritual pollution . </P> <H2> Onset of the rebellion ( edit ) </H2> Indian mutiny map showing position of troops on 1 May 1857 <P> Several months of increasing tensions coupled with various incidents preceded the actual rebellion . On 26 February 1857 the 19th Bengal Native Infantry ( BNI ) regiment became concerned that new cartridges they had been issued were wrapped in paper greased with cow and pig fat , which had to be opened by mouth thus affecting their religious sensibilities . Their Colonel confronted them supported by artillery and cavalry on the parade ground , but after some negotiation withdrew the artillery , and cancelled the next morning 's parade . </P> <H2> Mangal Pandey ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Mangal Pandey <P> On 29 March 1857 at the Barrackpore parade ground , near Calcutta , 29 - year - old Mangal Pandey of the 34th BNI , angered by the recent actions of the East India Company , declared that he would rebel against his commanders . Informed about Pandey 's behaviour Sergeant - Major James Hewson went to investigate , only to have Pandey shoot at him . Hewson raised the alarm . When his adjutant Lt. Henry Baugh came out to investigate the unrest , Pandey opened fire but hit Baugh 's horse instead . </P> <P> General John Hearsey came out to the parade ground to investigate , and claimed later that Mangal Pandey was in some kind of `` religious frenzy '' . He ordered the Indian commander of the quarter guard Jemadar Ishwari Prasad to arrest Mangal Pandey , but the Jemadar refused . The quarter guard and other sepoys present , with the single exception of a soldier called Shaikh Paltu , drew back from restraining or arresting Mangal Pandey . Shaikh Paltu restrained Pandey from continuing his attack . </P> <P> After failing to incite his comrades into an open and active rebellion , Mangal Pandey tried to take his own life , by placing his musket to his chest and pulling the trigger with his toe . He managed only to wound himself . Court - martialled on 6 April , he was hanged two days later . </P> <P> The Jemadar Ishwari Prasad was sentenced to death and hanged on 22 April . The regiment was disbanded and stripped of its uniforms because it was felt that it harboured ill - feelings towards its superiors , particularly after this incident . Shaikh Paltu was promoted to the rank of havildar in the Bengal Army , but was murdered shortly before the 34th BNI dispersed . </P> <P> Sepoys in other regiments thought these punishments were harsh . The demonstration of disgrace during the formal disbanding helped foment the rebellion in view of some historians . Disgruntled ex-sepoys returned home to Awadh with a desire for revenge . </P> <H3> Unrest during April 1857 ( edit ) </H3> <P> During April , there was unrest and fires at Agra , Allahabad and Ambala . At Ambala in particular , which was a large military cantonment where several units had been collected for their annual musketry practice , it was clear to General Anson , Commander - in - Chief of the Bengal Army , that some sort of rebellion over the cartridges was imminent . Despite the objections of the civilian Governor - General 's staff , he agreed to postpone the musketry practice and allow a new drill by which the soldiers tore the cartridges with their fingers rather than their teeth . However , he issued no general orders making this standard practice throughout the Bengal Army and , rather than remain at Ambala to defuse or overawe potential trouble , he then proceeded to Simla , the cool `` hill station '' where many high officials spent the summer . </P> <P> Although there was no

Synapse - wikipedia <H1> Synapse </H1> Jump to : navigation , search This article is about synapses of the nervous system . For other uses , see Synapse ( disambiguation ) . <Table> <Tr> <Th> Structure of a typical chemical synapse </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Postsynaptic density Voltage - gated Ca channel Synaptic vesicle Neurotransmitter transporter Receptor Neurotransmitter Axon terminal Synaptic cleft Dendrite </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> In the nervous system , a synapse is a structure that permits a neuron ( or nerve cell ) to pass an electrical or chemical signal to another neuron or to the target efferent cell . </P> <P> 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 ) . </P> <P> Synapses are essential to neuronal function : neurons are cells that are specialized to pass signals to individual target cells , and synapses are the means by which they do so . At a synapse , the plasma membrane of the signal - passing neuron ( the presynaptic neuron ) comes into close apposition with the membrane of the target ( postsynaptic ) cell . Both the presynaptic and postsynaptic sites contain extensive arrays of a molecular machinery that link the two membranes together and carry out the signaling process . In many synapses , the presynaptic part is located on an axon and the postsynaptic part is located on a dendrite or soma . Astrocytes also exchange information with the synaptic neurons , responding to synaptic activity and , in turn , regulating neurotransmission . Synapses ( at least chemical synapses ) are stabilized in position by synaptic adhesion molecules ( SAMs ) projecting from both the pre - and post-synaptic neuron and sticking together where they overlap ; SAMs may also assist in the generation and functioning of synapses . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Chemical or electrical </Li> <Li> 2 Types of interfaces </Li> <Li> 3 Role in memory </Li> <Li> 4 Study models </Li> <Li> 5 Synaptic polarization </Li> <Li> 6 Additional images </Li> <Li> 7 See also </Li> <Li> 8 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Chemical or electrical ( edit ) </H2> An example of chemical synapse by the release of neurotransmitters like acetylcholine or glutamic acid . <P> There are two fundamentally different types of synapses : </P> <Ul> <Li> In a chemical synapse , electrical activity in the presynaptic neuron is converted ( via the activation of voltage - gated calcium channels ) into the release of a chemical called a neurotransmitter that binds to receptors located in the plasma membrane of the postsynaptic cell . The neurotransmitter may initiate an electrical response or a secondary messenger pathway that may either excite or inhibit the postsynaptic neuron . Chemical synapses can be classified according to the neurotransmitter released : glutamatergic ( often excitatory ) , GABAergic ( often inhibitory ) , cholinergic ( e.g. vertebrate neuromuscular junction ) , and adrenergic ( releasing norepinephrine ) . Because of the complexity of receptor signal transduction , chemical synapses can have complex effects on the postsynaptic cell . </Li> <Li> In an electrical synapse , the presynaptic and postsynaptic cell membranes are connected by special channels called gap junctions or synaptic cleft that are capable of passing an electric current , causing voltage changes in the presynaptic cell to induce voltage changes in the postsynaptic cell . The main advantage of an electrical synapse is the rapid transfer of signals from one cell to the next . </Li> </Ul> <P> Synaptic communication is distinct from an ephaptic coupling , in which communication between neurons occurs via indirect electric fields . </P> <P> An autapse is a chemical or electrical synapse that forms when the axon of one neuron synapses onto dendrites of the same neuron . </P> <H2> Types of interfaces ( edit ) </H2> <P> Synapses can be classified by the type of cellular structures serving as the pre - and post-synaptic components . The vast majority of synapses in the mammalian nervous system are classical axo - dendritic synapses ( axon synapsing upon a dendrite ) , however , a variety of other arrangements exist . These include but are not limited to axo - axonic , dendro - dendritic , axo - secretory , somato - dendritic , dendro - somatic , and somato - somatic synapses . </P> <P> The axon can synapse onto a dendrite , onto a cell body , or onto another axon or axon terminal , as well as into the bloodstream or diffusely into the adjacent nervous tissue . </P> Different types of synapses <H2> Role in memory ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Hebbian theory <P> It is widely accepted that the synapse plays a role in the formation of memory . As neurotransmitters activate receptors across the synaptic cleft , the connection between the two neurons is strengthened when both neurons are active at the same time , as a result of the receptor 's signaling mechanisms . The strength of two connected neural pathways is thought to result in the storage of information , resulting in memory . This

</P> <H3> Adaptation schedule </H3> <P> Benioff and Weiss originally intended to adapt the entire , still - incomplete A Song of Ice and Fire series of novels for television . After Game of Thrones began outpacing the published novels in the sixth season , the series was based on a plot outline of the future novels provided by Martin and original content . In April 2016 , the showrunners ' plan was to shoot 13 more episodes after the sixth season : seven episodes in the seventh season and six episodes in the eighth . Later that month , the series was renewed for a seventh season with a seven - episode order . As of 2017 , seven seasons have been ordered and filmed , adapting the novels at a rate of about 48 seconds per page for the first three seasons . </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Season </Th> <Th> Ordered </Th> <Th> Filming </Th> <Th> First aired </Th> <Th> Last aired </Th> <Th> Novel ( s ) adapted </Th> <Th> Refs </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 1 </Td> <Td> March 2 , 2010 </Td> <Td> Second half of 2010 </Td> <Td> April 17 , 2011 </Td> <Td> June 19 , 2011 </Td> <Td> A Game of Thrones </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 2 </Td> <Td> April 19 , 2011 </Td> <Td> Second half of 2011 </Td> <Td> April 1 , 2012 </Td> <Td> June 3 , 2012 </Td> <Td> A Clash of Kings and some early chapters from A Storm of Swords </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 3 </Td> <Td> April 10 , 2012 </Td> <Td> July -- November 2012 </Td> <Td> March 31 , 2013 </Td> <Td> June 9 , 2013 </Td> <Td> About the first two - thirds of A Storm of Swords </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 4 </Td> <Td> April 2 , 2013 </Td> <Td> July -- November 2013 </Td> <Td> April 6 , 2014 </Td> <Td> June 15 , 2014 </Td> <Td> The remaining one - third of A Storm of Swords and some elements from A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 5 </Td> <Td> April 8 , 2014 </Td> <Td> July -- December 2014 </Td> <Td> April 12 , 2015 </Td> <Td> June 14 , 2015 </Td> <Td> A Feast for Crows , A Dance with Dragons and original content , with some late chapters from A Storm of Swords and elements from The Winds of Winter </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 6 </Td> <Td> July -- December 2015 </Td> <Td> April 24 , 2016 </Td> <Td> June 26 , 2016 </Td> <Td> Original content and outline from The Winds of Winter , with some late elements from A Feast for Crows and A Dance with Dragons </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 7 </Td> <Td> April 21 , 2016 </Td> <Td> August 2016 -- February 2017 </Td> <Td> July 16 , 2017 </Td> <Td> August 27 , 2017 </Td> <Td> Original content and outline from The Winds of Winter and A Dream of Spring </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Season 8 </Td> <Td> July 30 , 2016 </Td> <Td> October 2017 -- Mid 2018 </Td> <Td> 2018 / 19 </Td> <Td> 2018 / 19 </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> The first two seasons adapted one novel each .

Exterior scenes in Northern Ireland were filmed at Sandy Brae in the Mourne Mountains ( standing in for Vaes Dothrak ) , Castle Ward ( Winterfell ) , Saintfield Estates ( the Winterfell godswood ) , Tollymore Forest ( outdoor scenes ) , Cairncastle ( the execution site ) , the Magheramorne quarry ( Castle Black ) and Shane 's Castle ( the tourney grounds ) . Doune Castle in Stirling , Scotland , was also used in the original pilot episode for scenes at Winterfell . The producers initially considered filming the whole series in Scotland , but decided on Northern Ireland because of the availability of studio space . </P> <P> The first season 's southern scenes were filmed in Malta , a change in location from the pilot episode 's Moroccan sets . The city of Mdina was used for King 's Landing . Filming was also done at Fort Manoel ( representing the Sept of Baelor ) , at the Azure Window on the island of Gozo ( the Dothraki wedding site ) and at San Anton Palace , Fort Ricasoli , Fort St. Angelo and St. Dominic monastery ( all used for scenes in the Red Keep ) . </P> The walled city of Dubrovnik became King 's Landing in season two . <P> Filming of the second season 's southern scenes shifted from Malta to Croatia , where the city of Dubrovnik and nearby locations allowed exterior shots of a walled , coastal medieval city . The Walls of Dubrovnik and Fort Lovrijenac were used for scenes in King 's Landing and the Red Keep . The island of Lokrum , the St. Dominic monastery in the coastal town of Trogir , the Rector 's Palace in Dubrovnik , and the Dubac quarry ( a few kilometers east ) were used for scenes set in Qarth . Scenes set north of the Wall , in the Frostfangs and at the Fist of the First Men , were filmed in November 2011 in Iceland : on the Vatnajökull glacier near Smyrlabjörg , the Svínafellsjökull

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 . '' </P> <P> This principle maintains that when the human mind ( perceptual system ) forms a percept or `` gestalt '' , the whole has a reality of its own , independent of the parts . The original famous phrase of Gestalt psychologist Kurt Koffka , `` The whole is other than the sum of the parts '' is often incorrectly translated as `` The whole is greater than the sum of its parts '' , and thus used when explaining gestalt theory , and further incorrectly applied to systems theory . Koffka did not like the translation . He firmly corrected students who replaced `` other '' with `` greater '' . `` This is not a principle of addition '' he said . The whole has an independent existence . </P> <P> In the study of perception , Gestalt psychologists stipulate that perceptions are the products of complex interactions among various stimuli . Contrary to the behaviorist approach to focusing on stimulus and response , gestalt psychologists sought to understand the organization of cognitive processes ( Carlson and Heth , 2010 ) . The gestalt effect is the capability of our brain to generate whole forms , particularly with respect to the visual recognition of global figures instead of just collections of simpler and unrelated elements ( points , lines , curves , etc . ) . </P> <P> In psychology , gestaltism is often opposed to structuralism . Gestalt theory , it is proposed , allows for the deconstruction of the whole situation into its elements . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Origins <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Gestalt therapy </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Theoretical framework and methodology </Li> <Li> 3 Support from cybernetics and neurology </Li> <Li> 4 Properties <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Emergence </Li> <Li> 4.2 Reification </Li> <Li> 4.3 Multistability </Li> <Li> 4.4 Invariance </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Prägnanz </Li> <Li> 6 Criticisms </Li> <Li> 7 Gestalt views in psychology <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Fuzzy - trace theory </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 Use in design </Li> <Li> 9 Music </Li> <Li> 10 Quantum cognition modeling </Li> <Li> 11 See also </Li> <Li> 12 References </Li> <Li> 13 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Origins ( edit ) </H2> <P> The concept of gestalt was first introduced in philosophy and psychology in 1890 by Christian von Ehrenfels ( a member of the School

Arctic Circle - wikipedia <H1> Arctic Circle </H1> Jump to : navigation , search This article is about one of the five major circles of latitude . For other uses , see Arctic Circle ( disambiguation ) . Map of the Arctic , with the Arctic Circle in blue and the July 10 ° C mean isotherm in red <P> The Arctic Circle is the most northerly of the five major circles of latitude as shown on maps of Earth . It marks the northernmost point at which the noon sun is just visible on the December solstice and the southernmost point at which the midnight sun is just visible on the June solstice . The region north of this circle is known as the Arctic , and the zone just to the south is called the Northern Temperate Zone . </P> <P> As seen from the Arctic , the Sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ( and therefore visible at midnight ) and below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ( and therefore not visible at noon ) . This is also true in the Antarctic region , south of the equivalent Antarctic Circle . </P> <P> 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 . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Etymology </Li> <Li> 2 Midnight sun and polar night </Li> <Li> 3 Human habitation </Li> <Li> 4 Geography <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Climate </Li> <Li> 4.2 Sites along the Arctic Circle </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Etymology ( edit ) </H2> <P> The word arctic comes from the Greek word ἀρκτικός ( arktikos : `` near the Bear , northern '' ) and that from the word ἄρκτος ( arktos : `` bear '' ) . </P> <H2> Midnight sun and Polar night ( edit ) </H2> Relationship of Earth 's axial tilt ( ε ) to the tropical and polar circles Further information : Midnight sun and Polar night <P> The Arctic Circle is the southernmost latitude in the Northern Hemisphere at which the sun can remain continuously above or below the horizon for twenty - four hours ; as a result , at least once each year at any location within the Arctic Circle the sun is visible at local midnight , and at least once it is not visible at local noon . </P> <P> Directly on the Arctic Circle these events occur , in principle , exactly once per year : at the June and December solstices , respectively . However , because of atmospheric refraction and mirages , and because the sun appears as a disk and not a point , part of the midnight sun may be seen on the night of the northern summer solstice up to about 50 minutes ( ′ ) ( 90 km ( 56 mi ) ) south of the Arctic Circle ; similarly , on the day of the northern winter solstice , part of the sun may be seen up to about 50 ′ north of the Arctic Circle . That is true at sea level ; those limits increase with elevation above sea level , although in mountainous regions there is often no direct view of the true horizon . </P> <H2> Human habitation ( edit ) </H2> Cylindrical projection showing the Arctic Circle in red Further information : Arctic peoples <P> Only four million people live north of the Arctic Circle due to the severe climate ; nonetheless , some areas have been settled for thousands of years by indigenous peoples , who today make up 10 % of the region 's population . Tens of thousands of years ago , waves of people migrated from eastern Siberia across the Bering Strait into North America to settle . Much later , in the historic period , there has been migration into some Arctic areas by Europeans and other immigrants . </P> <P> The largest communities north of the Arctic Circle are situated in Russia and Norway : Murmansk ( population 307,257 ) , Norilsk ( 175,365 ) , Tromsø ( 71,295 ) and Vorkuta ( 59,231 ) . Rovaniemi ( 61,329 ) in Finland is the largest settlement in the immediate vicinity of the Arctic Circle , lying 6 kilometres ( 4 miles ) south of the line . </P> <P> In contrast , the largest North American community north of the Arctic Circle , Sisimiut ( Greenland ) , has approximately 5,000 inhabitants . Of the Canadian and United States Arctic communities , Barrow , Alaska is the largest settlement with about 4,000 inhabitants . </P> <H2> Geography ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Th> ( show ) Map all coordinates using OSM Map all coordinates using Google </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Export all coordinates as KML </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Export all coordinates as GPX </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Map all microformatted coordinates </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Place data as RDF </Td> </Tr> </Table> The countries transcending the Arctic Circle <P> The Arctic Circle is roughly 16,000 kilometres ( 9,900 mi ) .

Now based in Bowen Hills , Brisbane , the airline was co-founded by British businessman Richard Branson , the founder of parent Virgin Group and former Virgin Blue CEO Brett Godfrey . It was established in November 1999 with two aircraft operating on a single route , and suddenly found itself catapulted to the position of Australia 's second airline after the collapse of Ansett Australia in September 2001 . The airline has grown to directly serve 29 cities in Australia from hubs in Brisbane , Melbourne and Sydney , using a fleet of narrow - body Boeing and Embraer jets ; and Airbus and Boeing widebody jets . </P> <P> After several years operating as a low - cost carrier it improved its services to become a so - called ( self - described ) `` New World Carrier '' -- essentially a business model which offers the `` guest '' the choice of purchasing a ticket with aspects of the `` no frills '' approach of low - cost carriers or paying a little more to receive services more in line with full - service airlines -- to compete more effectively with Qantas in the business travel market . In 2011 it took this strategy further by introducing new uniforms ; new catering options on board ; new widebody aircraft to compete with Qantas on Perth -- Melbourne -- Sydney services ; and the concurrent introduction of business class in January 2012 ; together with a new livery and renaming of the brand to Virgin Australia . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Early years as Virgin Blue ( 2000 - 2006 ) </Li> <Li> 1.2 Codesharing and network consolidation ( 2006 - 2010 ) </Li> <Li> 1.3 Launch of V Australia ( 2008 - 2011 ) </Li> <Li> 1.4 Reorganisation and rebranding into Virgin Australia ( 2011 - present ) </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Corporate affairs <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Head office </Li> <Li> 2.2 Sister airlines </Li> <Li> 2.3 Marketing and sponsorship </Li> <Li> 2.4 Awards </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Destinations <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Codeshare agreements </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Fleet <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Regional expansion <Ul> <Li> 4.1. 1 Current fleet </Li> <Li> 4.1. 2 Former fleet </Li> <Li> 4.1. 3 Orders </Li> <Li> 4.1. 4 Cargo </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Cabin <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Domestic and short - haul international operations <Ul> <Li> 5.1. 1 Business class </Li> <Li> 5.1. 2 Premium economy </Li> <Li> 5.1. 3 Economy </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5.2 International long - haul operations <Ul> <Li> 5.2. 1 International business class </Li> <Li> 5.2. 2 International premium economy class </Li> <Li> 5.2. 3 International economy class </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 In - flight amenities <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Food and beverages </Li> <Li> 6.2 In - flight entertainment </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 Virgin Australia lounge <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Locations </Li> <Li> 7.2 Access </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 Velocity frequent flyer </Li> <Li> 9 Controversies </Li> <Li> 10 Footnote </Li> <Li> 11 References </Li> <Li> 12 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Early years as Virgin Blue ( 2000 - 2006 ) ( edit ) </H3> <P> Virgin Australia was launched as Virgin Blue in August 2000 , with two Boeing 737 - 400 aircraft , one of which was leased from then - sister airline Virgin Express . Initially offering seven return flights a day between Brisbane and Sydney , this has since been expanded to cover all major Australian cities and many holiday destinations . The Virgin Blue name was the result of an open competition ; it was a play on the predominantly red livery and the Australian slang tradition of calling a red - headed male ' Blue ' or ' Bluey ' . </P> Virgin Blue 's 50th Boeing 737 Virgin - ia Blue was the only aircraft in the fleet to be actually painted blue .

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 . </P> <P> Condensers typically consist of a variable - aperture diaphragm and one or more lenses . Light from the illumination source of the microscope passes through the diaphragm and is focused by the lens ( es ) onto the specimen . After passing through the specimen the light diverges into an inverted cone to fill the front lens of the objective . </P> <P> The first simple condensers were introduced on pre-achromatic microscopes in the 17th century . Robert Hooke used a combination of a salt water filled globe and a plano - convex lens , and shows in the ' Micrographia ' that he understands the reasons for its efficiency . Makers in the 18th century such as Benjamin Martin , Adams and Jones understood the advantage of condensing the area of the light source to that of the area of the object on the stage . This was a simple plano - convex or bi-convex lens , or sometimes a combination of lenses . With the development of the modern achromatic objective in 1829 , by Joseph Jackson Lister , the need for better condensers became increasingly apparent . By 1837 , the use of the achromatic condenser was introduced in France , by Felix Dujardin , and Chevalier . English makers early took up this improvement , due to the obsession with resolving test objects such as diatoms and Nobert ruled gratings . By the late 1840s , English makers such as Ross , Powell and Smith ; all could supply highly corrected condensers on their best stands , with proper centring and focus . It is erroneously stated that these developments were purely empirical - no - one can design a good achromatic , spherically corrected condenser relying only on empirics . On the Continent , in Germany , the corrected condenser was not considered either useful or essential , mainly due to a misunderstanding of the basic optical principles involved . Thus the leading German company , Carl Zeiss in Jena , offered nothing more than a very poor chromatic condenser into the late 1870s . French makers , such as Nachet , provided excellent achromatic condensers on their stands . When the leading German bacteriologist , Robert Koch , complained to Ernst Abbe , that he was forced to buy a Seibert achromatic condenser for his Zeiss microscope , in order to make satisfactory photographs of bacteria , Abbe produced a very good achromatic design in 1878 . </P> <P> There are three types of condenser : </P> <Ol> <Li> The chromatic condenser , such as the Abbe where no attempt is made to correct for spherical or chromatic aberration . It contains two lenses that produce an image of the light source that is surrounded by a blue and red color at its edges . </Li> <Li> The aplanatic condenser is corrected for spherical aberration . </Li> <Li> The compound achromatic condenser is corrected for both spherical and chromatic aberrations . </Li> </Ol> <H3> Abbe condenser ( edit ) </H3> The sub-stage condenser focuses light through the specimen to match the aperture of the objective lens system . <P> The Abbe condenser is named for its inventor Ernst Abbe , who developed it in 1870 . The Abbe condenser , which was originally designed for Zeiss , is mounted below the stage of the microscope . The condenser concentrates and controls the light that passes through the specimen prior to entering the objective . It has two controls , one which moves the Abbe condenser closer to or further from the stage , and another , the iris diaphragm , which controls the diameter of the beam of light . The controls can be used to optimize brightness , evenness of illumination , and contrast . Abbe condensers are difficult to use for magnifications of above 400X , as the aplanatic cone is only representative of a numerical aperture ( NA ) of 0.6 . </P> <P> This condenser is composed of two lenses , a plano - convex lens somewhat larger than a hemisphere and a large bi-convex lens serving as a collecting lens to the first . The focus of the first lens is traditionally about 2mm away from the plane face coinciding with the sample plane . A pinhole cap can be used to align the optical axis of the
