Morphologically it is intermediate between the coyote and gray wolf , and is of a reddish , tawny color . The Red Wolf is a federally listed endangered species of the United States and is protected by law . It has been listed by IUCN as a critically endangered species since 1996 . It is considered the rarest species of wolf and is one of the five most endangered species of wolf in the world . </P> <P> Red wolves may have been the first New World wolf species encountered by European colonists , and were originally distributed throughout the eastern United States from the Atlantic Ocean to central Texas , and in the north from the Ohio River Valley , northern Pennsylvania and southern New York south to the Gulf of Mexico . The red wolf was nearly driven to extinction by the mid-1900s due to aggressive predator - control programs , habitat destruction , and extensive hybridization with coyotes . By the late 1960s , it occurred in small numbers in the Gulf Coast of western Louisiana and eastern Texas . Fourteen of these survivors were selected to be the founders of a captive - bred population , which was established in the Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium between 1974 and 1980 . After a successful experimental relocation to Bulls Island off the coast of South Carolina in 1978 , the red wolf was declared extinct in the wild in 1980 to proceed with restoration efforts . In 1987 , the captive animals were released into the Alligator River National Wildlife Refuge on the Albemarle Peninsula in North Carolina , with a second release , since reversed , taking place two years later in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park . Of 63 red wolves released from 1987 -- 1994 , the population rose to as many as 100 -- 120 individuals in 2012 , but has declined to 40 individuals in 2018 . </P> <P> The red wolf 's taxonomic status has been a subject of controversy . A 2011 genetic study indicated that it may be a hybrid species between gray wolves and coyotes . Re-analysis of this study , coupled with a broader contextual analysis including behavioral , morphological and additional genetic information , led to arguments that the red wolf is an independent species , but has suffered from significant introgression of coyote genes likely due to decimation of red wolf packs and fragmentation of their social structure due to hunting . A comprehensive review in October 2012 concluded that the red wolf is a distinct species which diverged from the coyote alongside the closely related eastern wolf 150,000 -- 300,000 years ago , Although this 2012 review was not universally accepted among relevant authorities , two subsequent reviews of updated research in 2013 and 2014 suggest that the red wolf was once a species distinct from the gray wolf and coyote . A 2015 genetics study , using the most comprehensive mitochondrial DNA data , Y - chromosome data and genome - wide 127,235 single nucleotide polymorphism data , concluded that `` the most parsimonious explanation '' is that eastern wolves in Algonquin Provincial Park are `` a distinct remnant entity of a historical wolf that most likely existed throughout the eastern United States '' . This view is supported by the idea that the coyote and gray wolf did not historically range into the eastern United States , with current academic debate on red wolf taxonomy shifting to a new question : whether the eastern wolf and red wolf are conspecific ( belong to the same species ) , a possibility considered by some researchers . In contrast , a 2016 study of 28 sequenced canid genomes concluded that red and eastern wolves have sequences that can be explained as resulting from gray wolf - coyote hybridization . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Taxonomy <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Taxonomic debate </Li> <Li> 1.2 Whole - genome analysis </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Physical description and behavior </Li> <Li> 3 Range and habitat <Ul> <Li> 3.1 History and extirpation in the wild </Li> <Li> 3.2 Captive breeding and reintroduction </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Gallery </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 Further reading </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Taxonomy ( edit ) </H2> Comparative image of the red wolf ( C. rufus ) & the coyote ( C. latrans ) .

Most E. coli strains are harmless , but some serotypes can cause serious food poisoning in their hosts , and are occasionally responsible for product recalls due to food contamination . The harmless strains are part of the normal flora of the gut , and can benefit their hosts by producing vitamin K , and preventing colonization of the intestine with pathogenic bacteria , having a symbiotic relationship .

The bacterium grows massively in fresh fecal matter under aerobic conditions for 3 days , but its numbers decline slowly afterwards . </P> <P> E. coli and other facultative anaerobes constitute about 0.1 % of gut flora , and fecal -- oral transmission is the major route through which pathogenic strains of the bacterium cause disease .

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Foundation was established on April 20 , 1983 , by Atlantic Records founder and chairman Ahmet Ertegun . In 1986 , Cleveland was chosen as the Hall of Fame 's permanent home . Since opening in September 1995 , the `` Rock Hall '' -- part of the city 's redeveloped North Coast Harbor -- has hosted more than 10 million visitors and had a cumulative economic impact estimated at more than $1.8 billion . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Foundation and museum <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Economic impact </Li> <Li> 1.2 Layout </Li> <Li> 1.3 Architecture </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Exhibit history <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Public programs </Li> <Li> 2.2 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll <Ul> <Li> 2.2. 1 Artists with four or more songs </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2.3 25th anniversary concert </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Inductees <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Performers </Li> <Li> 3.2 Early Influences </Li> <Li> 3.3 Ahmet Ertegun Award for Lifetime Achievement </Li> <Li> 3.4 Award for Musical Excellence </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Library and archives </Li> <Li> 5 Criticism <Ul> <Li> 5.1 2007 vote controversy </Li> <Li> 5.2 The Monkees controversy </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Foundation and museum ( edit ) </H2> <P> Founder Ahmet Ertegun assembled a team that included attorney Suzan Evans , Rolling Stone magazine editor and publisher Jann S. Wenner , attorney Allen Grubman , and record executives Seymour Stein , Bob Krasnow , and Noreen Woods . The Foundation began inducting artists in 1986 , but the Hall of Fame still had no home . The search committee considered several cities , including Philadelphia ( home of Bill Haley and American Bandstand ) , Memphis ( home of Sun Studios and Stax Records ) , Detroit ( home of Motown Records ) , Cincinnati ( home of King Records ) , New York City , and Cleveland . </P> <P> Cleveland lobbied for the museum , citing that WJW disc jockey Alan Freed both coined the term `` rock and roll '' and heavily promoted the new genre -- and that Cleveland was the location of Freed 's Moondog Coronation Ball , the first major rock and roll concert . In addition , Cleveland cited radio station WMMS , which played a key role in breaking several major acts in the U.S. during the 1970s and 80s , including artist David Bowie , who began his first U.S. tour in the city , Bruce Springsteen , Roxy Music , and Rush among many others . Cleveland was also one of the premier tour stops for most rock bands . </P> <P> Civic leaders in Cleveland pledged $65 million in public money to fund the construction . A petition drive was signed by 600,000 fans favoring Cleveland over Memphis , and Cleveland ranked first in a 1986 USA Today poll asking where the Hall of Fame should be located . On May 5 , 1986 , the Hall of Fame Foundation chose Cleveland as the permanent home of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum . Sam Phillips of Sun Studios fame and many others were stunned and disappointed that it ended up in Cleveland . `` The hall of fame should 've been in Memphis , certainly , '' wrote Peter Guralnick , author of an acclaimed two - volume Elvis Presley biography . </P> <P> Cleveland may also have been chosen as the organization 's site because the city offered the best financial package . As The Plain Dealer music critic Michael Norman noted , `` It was $65 million ... Cleveland wanted it here and put up the money . '' Co-founder Jann Wenner later said , `` One of the small sad things is we did n't do it in New York in the first place , '' but then added , `` I am absolutely delighted that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum is in Cleveland . '' </P> <P> During early discussions on where to build the Hall of Fame and Museum , the Foundation 's board considered the Cuyahoga River . Ultimately , the chosen location was along East Ninth Street in downtown Cleveland by Lake Erie , east of Cleveland Stadium . </P> <P> At one point in the planning phase when a financing gap existed , planners proposed locating the Rock Hall in the then - vacant May Company Building , but finally decided to commission architect I.M. Pei to design a new building . Initial CEO Dr. Larry R. Thompson facilitated I.M. Pei in designs for the site . Pei came up with the idea of a tower with a glass pyramid protruding from it .

The series chronicles the violent dynastic struggles among the realm 's noble families for the Iron Throne , while other families fight for independence from it . It opens with additional threats in the icy North and Essos in the east . </P> <P> Showrunner David Benioff jokingly suggested `` The Sopranos in Middle - earth '' as Game of Thrones ' tagline , referring to its intrigue - filled plot and dark tone in a fantasy setting of magic and dragons . In a 2012 study of deaths per episode , it ranked second out of 40 recent U.S. TV drama series ( with an average of 14 ) . </P> <H3> Themes </H3> Main article : Themes in A Song of Ice and Fire <P> The series is generally praised for what is perceived as a sort of medieval realism . George R.R. Martin set out to make the story feel more like historical fiction than contemporary fantasy , with less emphasis on magic and sorcery and more on battles , political intrigue , and the characters , believing that magic should be used moderately in the epic fantasy genre . Martin has stated that `` the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords , but from ourselves . '' </P> <P> A common theme in the fantasy genre is the battle between good and evil , which Martin says does not mirror the real world . Just like people 's capacity for good and for evil in real life , Martin explores the questions of redemption and character change . The show allows the audience to view different characters from their perspective , unlike in many other fantasies , and thus the supposed villains can provide their side of the story . Benioff said , `` George brought a measure of harsh realism to high fantasy . He introduced gray tones into a black - and - white universe . '' </P> <P> In early seasons , under the influence of the A Song of Ice and Fire books , main characters were regularly killed off , and this was credited with developing tension among viewers . Later seasons , however , critics pointed out that certain characters had developed `` plot armor '' , attributing this to the show 's deviating from the books and becoming more of a traditional television series . The series also reflects the substantial death rates in war . </P> <H3> Inspirations and derivations </H3> <P> Although the first season closely follows the events of the first novel , later seasons have made significant changes . According to David Benioff , the show is `` about adapting the series as a whole and following the map George laid out for us and hitting the major milestones , but not necessarily each of the stops along the way '' . </P> <P> Tom Holland of The Guardian believes that the novels and their adaptations base aspects of their settings , characters , and plot on events in European history . Most of Westeros is reminiscent of high medieval Europe , from lands and cultures , to the palace intrigue , feudal system , castles , and knightly tournaments . A principal inspiration for the novels is the English Wars of the Roses ( 1455 -- 85 ) between the houses of Lancaster and York , reflected in Martin 's houses of Lannister and Stark . The scheming Cersei Lannister evokes Isabella , the `` she - wolf of France '' ( 1295 -- 1358 ) ; Isabella and her family ( particularly as portrayed in Maurice Druon 's historical - novel series , The Accursed Kings ) were also a main inspiration for Martin . </P> <P> Holland further proposes that other historical antecedents of series elements include Hadrian 's Wall ( which becomes Martin 's Wall ) ,

List of Test cricket hat - tricks - wikipedia <H1> List of Test cricket hat - tricks </H1> Jump to : navigation , search English cricketer Stuart Broad took hat - tricks against India at Trent Bridge in 2011 and against Sri Lanka at Headingley in 2014 . <P> In the sport of cricket , a hat - trick is an occasion where a bowler takes three wickets in consecutive deliveries . As of 31 July 2017 , this feat has only been achieved 43 times in more than two thousand Test matches , the form of the sport in which national representative teams compete in matches of up to five days ' duration . The first Test hat - trick was recorded on 2 January 1879 , in only the third Test match to take place , by the Australian pace bowler Fred Spofforth , nicknamed `` The Demon Bowler '' , who dismissed three English batsmen with consecutive deliveries at the Melbourne Cricket Ground . The most recent bowler to achieve the feat was English spin bowler Moeen Ali against South Africa on 31 July 2017 . At least one bowler from each of the ten nations that have played Test cricket have taken a Test hat - trick . </P> <P> A player has taken two hat - tricks in the same Test match only once . Playing for Australia against South Africa in the first match of the 1912 Triangular Tournament at Old Trafford , Manchester , England , leg spinner Jimmy Matthews took a hat - trick in South Africa 's first and second innings , both taken on 28 May 1912 . He completed both hat - tricks by dismissing South Africa 's Tommy Ward . Only three other cricketers have taken more than one Test hat - trick : Australian off spinner Hugh Trumble ( two years apart , between the same teams at the same ground ) , Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram ( just over a week apart , in consecutive matches between the same teams ) and English fast bowler Stuart Broad . Three players have taken a hat - trick on their Test debut : English medium pace bowler Maurice Allom in 1930 , New Zealand off - spinner Peter Petherick in 1976 , and Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming in 1994 . Geoff Griffin took the fewest total Test wickets of any player who recorded a hat - trick , taking only eight wickets in his entire Test career . During the match in which he took his hat - trick , Griffin was repeatedly called for throwing by the umpires and never bowled again in a Test match . Australian Peter Siddle is the only bowler to take a hat - trick on his birthday , and Bangladeshi off spinner Sohag Gazi is the only player to score a century and take a hat - trick in the same Test match . </P> <P> Australian Merv Hughes is the only bowler to take a hat - trick where the wickets fell over three overs . He took a wicket with the final ball of an over . With the first ball of the next over he took the final wicket of the West Indies innings . He then removed the opener Gordon Greenidge with the first ball of the West Indies second innings . </P> <P> In the five - match series between a Rest of the World XI and England in 1970 , a hat - trick was taken by South African Eddie Barlow in the fourth match , at Headingley ( the last three of four wickets in five balls ) .

Cricket bat - wikipedia <H1> Cricket bat </H1> Jump to : navigation , search A modern SG cricket bat ( back view ) <P> A cricket bat is a specialised piece of equipment used by batsmen in the sport of cricket to hit the ball , typically consisting of a cane handle attached to a flat - fronted willow - wood blade . The length of the bat may be no more than 38 inches ( 965 mm ) and the width no more than 4.25 inches ( 108 mm ) . Its use is first mentioned in 1624 . Since 1979 , a rule change stipulated that bats can only be made from wood . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Construction <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Maintenance </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Sizes of bats </Li> <Li> 3 Variations <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Twenty20 bats </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Manufacturing <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Knocking - in </Li> <Li> 4.2 Oiling </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Cricket bat industry of India <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Kashmiri willow bats </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Construction ( edit ) </H2> Shaving a cricket bat <P> The blade of a cricket bat is a wooden block that is generally flat on the striking face and with a ridge on the reverse ( back ) which concentrates wood in the middle where the ball is generally hit . The bat is traditionally made from willow wood , specifically from a variety of White Willow called Cricket Bat Willow ( Salix alba var . caerulea ) , treated with raw ( unboiled ) linseed oil , which has a protective function . This variety of willow is used as it is very tough and shock - resistant , not being significantly dented nor splintering on the impact of a cricket ball at high speed , while also being light in weight . The face of the bat is often covered with a protective film by the user . </P> <P> The blade is connected to a long cylindrical cane handle , similar to that of a mid-20th - century tennis racquet , by means of a splice . The handle is usually covered with a rubber grip . Bats incorporate a wooden spring design where the handle meets the blade . The current design of a cane handle spliced into a willow blade through a tapered splice was the invention in the 1880s of Charles Richardson , a pupil of Brunel and the first Chief Engineer of the Severn Railway Tunnel . Spliced handles had been used before this but tended to break at the corner of the join . The taper provides a more gradual transfer of load from the bat 's blade to the handle and avoids this problem . </P> <P> The edges of the blade closest to the handle are known as the shoulders of the bat , and the bottom of the blade is known as the toe of the bat . </P> <P> Bats were not always this shape . Before the 18th century bats tended to be shaped similarly to a modern hockey sticks . This may well have been a legacy of the game 's reputed origins . Although the first forms of cricket are obscure , it may be that the game was first played using shepherd 's crooks . </P> Evolution of the cricket bat <P> The bat generally recognised as the oldest bat still in existence is dated 1729 and is on display in the Sandham Room at The Oval in London . </P> <H3> Maintenance ( edit ) </H3> <P> When first purchased , most bats are not ready for immediate use and require knocking - in to allow the soft fibres to strike a hard new cricket ball without causing damage to the bat , and allowing full power to be transferred to the shot . Knocking - in involves striking the surface with an old cricket ball or a special mallet . This compacts the soft fibres within the bat and reduces the risk of the bat snapping . The bat may also need raw linseed oil , which fills in the gaps between the fibres . </P> <H2> Sizes of bats ( edit ) </H2> <P> Law 5 of the Laws of Cricket , as the rules of the game are known , state that the length of the bat may be no more than 38 in ( 965 mm ) , the width no more than 4.25 in ( 108 mm ) , the overall depth no more than 2.64 in ( 67 mm ) and edge no more than 1.56 in ( 40 mm ) . Bats typically weigh from 2 lb 7 oz to 3 lb ( 1.2 to 1.4 kg ) though there is no standard . Appendix B of the Laws of Cricket set out more precise specifications . This rule was introduced following the Monster Bat Incident of 1771 . </P> <P> Bats are available in a range of sizes , with some manufacturers offering unique variations . Commonly found are children 's sizes 0 to 6 , youth size Harrow and adult sizes . SH ( Short Handle ) is the most common adult size , whilst long handle and long blade options are also available . Children 's sizes increase in length and width as the size increase . Although most adult bats will be the maximum width permitted ( 4.25 inches ) , no generally available cricket bat is the maximum length of 38 inches , indeed very few exceed 35 inches . </P> <H2> Variations ( edit ) </H2> The oldest surviving bat dates from 1729 . Note its shape , which is very different from modern - day bats . Modern cricket bat in play <P> Various companies have over the years tried new shapes that come within the laws of the game to make a name for themselves and to improve sales

of ) Jews who lived in the ' Old Yishuv ' . '' </P> <H2> Declaration ceremony </H2> A celebratory crowd outside the Tel Aviv Museum , located in 16 Rothschild Boulevard , to hear the Declaration The invitation to the ceremony , dated 13 May 1948 . David Ben - Gurion declaring independence beneath a large portrait of Theodor Herzl , founder of modern Zionism <P> The ceremony was held in the Tel Aviv Museum ( today known as Independence Hall ) but was not widely publicised as it was feared that the British Authorities might attempt to prevent it or that the Arab armies might invade earlier than expected . An invitation was sent out by messenger on the morning of 14 May telling recipients to arrive at 15 : 30 and to keep the event a secret . The event started at 16 : 00 ( a time chosen so as not to breach the sabbath ) and was broadcast live as the first transmission of the new radio station Kol Yisrael . </P> <P> The final draft of the declaration was typed at the Jewish National Fund building following its approval earlier in the day . Ze'ev Sherf , who stayed at the building in order to deliver the text , had forgotten to arrange transport for himself . Ultimately , he had to flag down a passing car and ask the driver ( who was driving a borrowed car without a license ) to take him to the ceremony . Sherf 's request was initially refused but he managed to persuade the driver to take him . The car was stopped by a policeman for speeding while driving across the city though a ticket was not issued after it was explained that he was delaying the declaration of independence . Sherf arrived at the museum at 15 : 59 . </P> <P> At 16 : 00 , Ben - Gurion opened the ceremony by banging his gavel on the table , prompting a spontaneous rendition of Hatikvah , soon to be Israel 's national anthem , from the 250 guests . On the wall behind the podium hung a picture of Theodor Herzl , the founder of modern Zionism , and two flags , later to become the official flag of Israel . </P> <P> After telling the audience `` I shall now read to you the scroll of the Establishment of the State , which has passed its first reading by the National Council '' , Ben - Gurion proceeded to read out the declaration , taking 16 minutes , ending with the words `` Let us accept the Foundation Scroll of the Jewish State by rising '' and calling on Rabbi Fishman to recite the Shehecheyanu blessing . </P> <P> The entire declaration ceremony was recorded and broadcast live on Kol Yisrael ( Voice of Israel ) radio station . </P> <H3> Signatories </H3> Ben Gurion ( Left ) Signing the Declaration of Independence held by Moshe Sharet <P> As leader of the Yishuv , David Ben - Gurion was the first person to sign . The declaration was due to be signed by all 37 members of Moetzet HaAm . However , twelve members could not attend , eleven of them trapped in besieged Jerusalem and one abroad . The remaining 25 signatories present were called up in alphabetical order to sign , leaving spaces for those absent . Although a space was left for him between the signatures of Eliyahu Dobkin and Meir Vilner , Zerach Warhaftig signed at the top of the next column , leading to speculation that Vilner 's name had been left alone to isolate him , or to stress that even a communist agreed with the declaration . However , Warhaftig later denied this , stating that a space had been left for him ( as he was one of the signatories trapped in Jerusalem ) where a Hebraicised form of his name would have fitted alphabetically , but he insisted on signing under his actual name so as to honour his father 's memory and so moved down two spaces . He and Vilner would be the last surviving signatories , and remained close for the rest of their lives . Of the signatories , two were women ( Golda Meir ( Meyerson / Myerson ) and Rachel Cohen - Kagan ) . </P> <P> When Herzl Rosenblum , a journalist , was called up to sign , Ben - Gurion instructed him to sign under the name Herzl Vardi , his pen name , as he wanted more Hebrew names on the document . Although Rosenblum acquiesced to Ben - Gurion 's request and legally changed his name to Vardi , he later admitted to regretting not signing as Rosenblum . Several other signatories later Hebraised their names , including Meir Argov ( Grabovsky ) , Peretz Bernstein ( then Fritz Bernstein ) , Avraham Granot ( Granovsky ) , Avraham Nissan ( Katznelson ) , Moshe Kol ( Kolodny ) , Yehuda Leib Maimon ( Fishman ) , Golda Meir ( Meyerson / Myerson ) , Pinchas Rosen ( Felix Rosenblueth ) and Moshe Sharett ( Shertok ) . Other signatories added their own touches , including Saadia Kobashi who added the phrase `` HaLevy '' , referring to the tribe of Levi . </P> <P> After Sharett , the last of the signatories , had put his name to paper , the audience again stood and the Israel Philharmonic Orchestra played `` Hatikvah '' .

History of the periodic table - wikipedia <H1> History of the periodic table </H1> This is the latest accepted revision , reviewed on 9 January 2018 . Jump to : navigation , search A collection of historic documents that led to the development of the modern periodic table ( clockwise from top left ) -- Lavoisier 's ' Table of Simple substances ' ; de Chancourtois ' ' Vis Tellurique ' ; Mendeleyev 's hand - written periodic table ; a modern periodic table ; John Dalton 's list of atomic weights & symbols . <P> The periodic table is an arrangement of the chemical elements and are organized on the basis of their atomic numbers , electron configurations and recurring chemical properties . Elements are presented in order of increasing atomic number . The standard form of the table consists of a grid of elements with rows called periods and columns called groups </P> <P> The history of the periodic table reflects over a century of growth in the understanding of chemical properties . The most important event in its history occurred in 1869 , when the table was published by Dmitri Mendeleev , who built upon earlier discoveries by scientists such as Antoine - Laurent de Lavoisier and John Newlands , but who is nevertheless generally given sole credit for its development . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Ancient times <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Hennig Brand </Li> <Li> 1.2 Antoine - Laurent de Lavoisier </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 19th century <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner </Li> <Li> 2.2 Alexandre - Emile Béguyer de Chancourtois </Li> <Li> 2.3 John Newlands </Li> <Li> 2.4 Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev </Li> <Li> 2.5 Lothar Meyer </Li> <Li> 2.6 William Odling </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 20th century <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Frederick Soddy </Li> <Li> 3.2 Henry Moseley </Li> <Li> 3.3 Glenn T.

Around 330 BCE , the Greek philosopher Aristotle proposed that everything is made up of a mixture of one or more roots , an idea that had originally been suggested by the Sicilian philosopher Empedocles . The four roots , which were later renamed as elements by Plato , were earth , water , air and fire . Similar ideas about these four elements also existed in other ancient traditions , such as Indian philosophy . While Aristotle and Plato understood the concept of an element , their ideas did nothing to advance the understanding of the nature of matter . </P> Hennig Brand , as shown in The Alchemist Discovering Phosphorus <H3> Hennig Brand ( edit ) </H3> <P> The history of the periodic table is also a history of the discovery of the chemical elements . The first person in history to discover a new element was Hennig Brand , a bankrupt German merchant . Brand tried to discover the Philosopher 's Stone -- a mythical object that was supposed to turn inexpensive base metals into gold . In 1649 , his experiments with distilled human urine resulted in the production of a glowing white substance , which he named phosphorus . He kept his discovery secret until 1680 , when Robert Boyle rediscovered phosphorus and published his findings . The discovery of phosphorus helped to raise the question of what it meant for a substance to be an element . </P> <P> In 1661 , Boyle defined an element as `` a substance that can not be broken down into a simpler substance by a chemical reaction '' . This simple definition served for three centuries and lasted until the discovery of subatomic particles . </P> <H3> Antoine - Laurent de Lavoisier ( edit ) </H3> Antoine Laurent de Lavoisier <P> Lavoisier 's Traité Élémentaire de Chimie ( Elementary Treatise of Chemistry ) , which was written in 1789 and first translated into English by the writer Robert Kerr , is considered to be the first modern textbook about chemistry . It contained a list of `` simple substances '' that Lavoisier believed could not be broken down further , which included oxygen , nitrogen , hydrogen , phosphorus , mercury , zinc and sulfur , which formed the basis for the modern list of elements . Lavoisier 's list also included ' light ' and ' caloric ' , which at the time were believed to be material substances . He has classified these substances into metals and non metals . While many leading chemists refused to believe Lavoisier 's new revelations , the Elementary Treatise was written well enough to convince the younger generation . However , Lavoisier 's descriptions of his elements lack completeness , as he only classified them as metals and non-metals . </P> <H2> 19th century ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner ( edit ) </H3> <P> In 1817 , Johann Wolfgang Döbereiner began to formulate one of the earliest attempts to classify the elements . In 1829 , he found that he could form some of the elements into groups of three , with the members of each group having related properties . He termed these groups triads . </P> <P> Definition of Triad law : - `` Chemically analogous elements arranged in increasing order of their atomic weights formed well marked groups of three called Triads in which the atomic weight of the middle element was found to be generally the arithmetic mean of the atomic weight of the other two elements in the triad . </P> <Ol> <Li> chlorine , bromine , and iodine </Li> <Li> calcium , strontium , and barium </Li> <Li> sulfur , selenium , and tellurium </Li> <Li> lithium , sodium , and potassium </Li> </Ol> <H3>

Within the context of the series , the Cybermen are a species of emotionless space - faring cyborgs who look to co-opt human beings or other similar species to join and populate their ranks . First appearing in 1966 , the Cybermen were created by Dr. Kit Pedler ( the unofficial scientific advisor to the show ) and story editor Gerry Davis . </P> <P> The Cybermen have seen many redesigns and costume changes over Doctor Who 's long run . Over the years , the show and its many spin - offs in other media have also presented a number of varying origin stories for the species . In their first appearance , The Tenth Planet ( 1966 ) , they are explained as being the product of humans from Earth 's nearly identical `` twin planet '' of Mondas who upgraded themselves into cyborgs in a bid for self - preservation . Forty years later , `` The Age of Steel '' ( 2006 ) depicted the Cybermen 's separate emergence on a parallel universe version of Earth . Doctor Who audio dramas , novels , and comic books have also elaborated on the origins for the Cybermen , or presented alternative origin stories . </P> <P> In the show 's 2017 episode `` The Doctor Falls '' , it is stated that the Cybermen are the universe 's great example of parallel evolution , due to the inevitability of humans and human - like species attempting to upgrade themselves through technology , thereby resolving continuity tensions in the history of the Cybermen . </P> <P> A mainstay of Doctor Who since the 1960s , the Cybermen have also made appearances in related programs and spin - off media , including novels , audiobooks , comic books , and video games . Cybermen stories continued to be produced in officially licensed Doctor Who productions between 1989 and 2005 , when the TV show was off the air , with many writers choosing to fill in gaps in the history of the Cybermen or depict new encounters between them and the Doctor . The species also appeared in the Doctor Who TV spin - off Torchwood , appearing in the fourth episode , `` Cyberwoman '' ( 2006 ) . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Creation </Li> <Li> 2 Appearances <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Television </Li> <Li> 2.2 Spin - offs <Ul> <Li> 2.2. 1 Novels </Li> <Li> 2.2. 2 Audio dramas </Li> <Li> 2.2. 3 Comics </Li> <Li> 2.2. 4 Video games </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Physical characteristics <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Weaknesses </Li> <Li> 3.2 Costumes </Li> <Li> 3.3 Voice </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Variants </Li> <Li> 5 Technology <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Cybermat </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Sources </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Creation ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs additional citations for verification .

Wiener used the term in reference to the control of complex systems in the animal world and in mechanical networks , in particular self - regulating control systems . By 1960 , doctors were performing research into surgically or mechanically augmenting humans or animals to operate machinery in space , leading to the portmanteau `` cyborg '' , for `` cybernetic organism '' . </P> <P> In the 1960s , `` spare - part '' surgery was starting out , with the first , gigantic heart - lung machines being developed . There were also serious suggestions of wiring the nerve endings of amputees directly into machines for quicker response . In 1963 , Kit Pedler had a conversation with his wife ( who was also a doctor ) about what would happen if a person had so many prostheses that they could no longer distinguish themselves between man and machine . He got the opportunity to develop this idea when , in 1966 , after an appearance on the BBC science programmes Tomorrow 's World and Horizon , the BBC hired him to help on the Doctor Who serial The War Machines ( 1966 ) . That eventually led to him writing , with Gerry Davis ' help , The Tenth Planet ( 1966 ) for Doctor Who . </P> <P> Pedler , influenced by the logic - driven Treens from the Dan Dare comic strip , originally envisaged the Cybermen as `` space monks '' , but was persuaded by Davis to concentrate on his fears about the direction of spare - part surgery . The original Cybermen were imagined as human , but with plastic and metal prostheses . The Cybermen of The Tenth Planet still have human hands , and their facial structures are visible beneath the

Geography of Oklahoma - wikipedia <H1> Geography of Oklahoma </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Oklahoma topographical map Geographic map of Oklahoma <P> The Geography of Oklahoma encompasses terrain and ecosystems ranging from arid plains to subtropical forests and mountains . Oklahoma contains 10 distinct ecological regions , more per square mile than in any other state by a wide margin . It is situated in the Great Plains and U.S. Interior Highlands region near the geographical center of the 48 contiguous states . Usually considered part of the South Central United States , Oklahoma is bounded on the east by Arkansas and Missouri , on the north by Kansas , on the northwest by Colorado , on the far west by New Mexico , and on the south and near - west by Texas . </P> <P> The state has four primary mountain ranges : the Arbuckle Mountains , the Wichita Mountains , the Ozark Mountains and the Ouachita Mountains . Part of the U.S. Interior Highlands region , the Ozarks and Ouachitas form the only major highland region between the Rocky Mountains and the Appalachians . </P> <P> A portion of the Flint Hills stretches into north - central Oklahoma , and in the state 's southeastern corner , Cavanal Hill is officially regarded as the world 's tallest hill ; at 1,999 feet ( 609 m ) , it fails the definition of a mountain by one foot . More than 500 named creeks and rivers make up Oklahoma 's waterways , and with 200 lakes created by dams , it holds the highest number of reservoirs in the nation . Oklahoma covers an area of 69,898 square miles ( 181,030 km ) , with 68,667 square miles ( 177,850 km ) of land and 1,231 square miles ( 3,190 km ) of water , making it the 20th - largest state in the United States . Generally , it is divided into seven geographical regions : Green Country , or Northeast Oklahoma , Southeastern Oklahoma , Central Oklahoma , South Central Oklahoma , Southwest Oklahoma , Northwest Oklahoma , and the Oklahoma Panhandle . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Topography </Li> <Li> 2 Flora and fauna </Li> <Li> 3 Protected lands </Li> <Li> 4 Climate </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 Additional reading </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Topography ( edit ) </H2> The Ouachita Mountains cover much of southeastern Oklahoma . See also : Lakes in Oklahoma and List of rivers of Oklahoma <P> Situated between the Great Plains and the Ozark Plateau in the Gulf of Mexico watershed , Oklahoma tends to slope gradually downward from its western to eastern boundaries . Its highest and lowest points follow this trend , with its highest peak , Black Mesa , at 4,368 feet ( 1,516 m ) above sea level , situated near the far northwest corner of the Oklahoma Panhandle . The state 's lowest point is on the Little River near its far southeastern boundary , which dips to 289 feet ( 88 m ) above sea level . </P> <P> Most of the state lies in two primary drainage basins belonging to the Red and Arkansas rivers , though the Lee and Little rivers also contain significant drainage basins . In the state 's northwestern corner , semi-arid high plains harbor few natural forests and rolling to flat landscape with intermittent canyons and mesa ranges like the Glass Mountains . Partial plains interrupted by small mountain ranges like the Antelope Hills and the Wichita Mountains dot southwestern Oklahoma , and transitional prairie and woodlands cover the central portion of the state . The Ozark and Ouachita Mountains rise from west to east over the state 's eastern third , gradually increasing in elevation in an eastward direction . </P> <P> Oklahoma had few natural lakes . Those that did exist were either oxbow or playa lakes . Oklahoma has sixty - two oxbow lakes above 10 acres ( 0.040 km ) in size . The largest , near the Red River in McCurtain County is 272 acres ( 1.10 km ) . The prolonged drought that started in 1930 and created the condition called the `` Dust Bowl '' , led to the construction of a great many reservoirs throughout the state . Now , Oklahoma has the largest number of lakes created by dams of any state in the United States , with more than 200 . </P> <H2> Flora and fauna ( edit ) </H2> Populations of American bison inhabit the state 's prairie ecosystems . <P> Forests cover 24 percent of Oklahoma , and prairie grasslands , composed of shortgrass , mixed - grass , and tallgrass prairie , harbor expansive ecosystems in the state 's central and western portions . Where rainfall is sparse in the western regions of the state , shortgrass prairie and shrublands are the most prominent ecosystems , though pinyon pines , junipers , and ponderosa pines grow near rivers and creek beds in the far western reaches of the panhandle . Marshlands , cypress forests and mixtures of shortleaf pine , loblolly pine , sabal minor , and deciduous forests dominate the state 's southeastern quarter , while mixtures of largely post oak , elm , cedar and pine forests cover the Ozark Mountains in northeastern Oklahoma . Many rare , relic species such as sugar maple , bigtooth maple , southern live oak , and nolina inhabit Southwestern Oklahoma and the Wichita Mountains . </P> <P> The state holds large populations of white - tailed deer , coyotes , bobcats , elk , and birds such as quail , doves , cardinals , bald eagles , red - tailed hawks , and pheasants . In prairie ecosystems , american bison , greater prairie - chickens , badgers , and armadillo are common , and some of the nation 's largest prairie dog towns inhabit shortgrass prairie in the state 's panhandle .

For the Canadian alternative rock band , see Breeding Ground ( band ) . This coral reef in the Phoenix Islands Protected Area is a rich habitat for sea life . Few creatures make the ice shelves of Antarctica their habitat . Ibex in alpine habitat <P> In ecology , a habitat is the kind of natural environment in which a particular species of organism lives . It is characterized by both physical and biological features . A species ' habitat is those places where it can find food , shelter , protection and mates for reproduction . </P> <P> The physical factors are for example soil , moisture , range of temperature , and light intensity as well as biotic factors such as the availability of food and the presence or absence of predators . Every organism has certain habitat needs for the conditions in which it will thrive , but some are tolerant of wide variations while others are very specific in their requirements . A habitat is not necessarily a geographical area , it can be the interior of a stem , a rotten log , a rock or a clump of moss , and for a parasitic organism it is the body of its host , part of the host 's body such as the digestive tract , or a single cell within the host 's body . </P> <P> Habitat types include polar , temperate , subtropical and tropical . The terrestrial vegetation type may be forest , steppe , grassland , semi-arid or desert . Fresh water habitats include marshes , streams , rivers , lakes , ponds and estuaries , and marine habitats include salt marshes , the coast , the intertidal zone , reefs , bays , the open sea , the sea bed , deep water and submarine vents . </P> <P> Habitats change over time . This may be due to a violent event such as the eruption of a volcano , an earthquake , a tsunami , a wildfire or a change in oceanic currents ; or the change may be more gradual over millennia with alterations in the climate , as ice sheets and glaciers advance and retreat , and as different weather patterns bring changes of precipitation and solar radiation . Other changes come as a direct result of human activities ; deforestation , the ploughing of ancient grasslands , the diversion and damming of rivers , the draining of marshland and the dredging of the seabed . The introduction of alien species can have a devastating effect on native wildlife , through increased predation , through competition for resources or through the introduction of pests and diseases to which the native species have no immunity . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Definition and etymology </Li> <Li> 2 Environmental factors </Li> <Li> 3 Types </Li> <Li> 4 Microhabitats </Li> <Li> 5 Extreme habitats </Li> <Li> 6 Habitat change </Li> <Li> 7 Habitat protection </Li> <Li> 8 Monotypic habitat </Li> <Li> 9 See also </Li> <Li> 10 Notes and references </Li> <Li> 11 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Definition and etymology ( edit ) </H2> <P> The word `` habitat '' has been in use since about 1755 and derives from the Latin habitāre , to inhabit , from habēre , to have or to hold . Habitat can be defined as the natural environment of an organism , the type of place in which it is natural for it to live and grow . It is similar in meaning to a biotope ; an area of uniform environmental conditions associated with a particular community of plants and animals . </P> <H2> Environmental factors ( edit ) </H2> <P> The chief environmental factors affecting the distribution of living organisms are temperature , humidity , climate , soil type and light intensity , and the presence or absence of all the requirements that the organism needs to sustain it . Generally speaking , animal communities are reliant on specific types of plant communities . </P> <P> Some plants and animals are generalists , and their habitat requirements are met in a wide range of locations . The small white butterfly ( Pieris rapae ) for example is found on all the continents of the world apart from Antarctica . Its larvae feed on a wide range of Brassicas and various other plant species , and it thrives in any open location with diverse plant associations . The large blue butterfly is much more specific in its requirements ; it is found only in chalk grassland areas , its larvae feed on Thymus species and because of complex lifecycle requirements it inhabits only areas in which Myrmica ants live . </P> <P> Disturbance is important in the creation of biodiverse habitats . In the absence of disturbance , a climax vegetation cover develops that prevents the establishment of other species . Wildflower meadows are sometimes created by conservationists but most of the flowering plants used are either annuals or biennials and disappear after a few years in the absence of patches of bare ground on which their seedlings can grow . Lightning strikes and toppled trees in tropical forests allow species richness to be maintained as pioneering species move in to fill the gaps created . Similarly coastal habitats can become dominated by kelp until the seabed is disturbed by a storm and the algae swept away , or shifting sediment exposes new areas for colonisation . Another cause of disturbance is when an area may be overwhelmed by an invasive introduced species which is not kept under control by natural enemies in its new habitat . </P> <H2> Types ( edit ) </H2> Rich rainforest habitat in Dominica <P> Terrestrial habitat types include forests , grasslands , wetlands and deserts . Within these broad biomes are more specific habitats with varying climate types , temperature

The following May , Lin - Manuel Miranda was announced as the voice of Fenton Crackshell / Gizmoduck . The character was changed to being Latino due to Lin - Manuel 's heritage and because Angones felt that there were not enough positive Latino superheroes .

Freemen may claim their rights through patronage ( as far back as their great - great - grandparent , there are records of women being admitted in York in medieval times , a right forgotten for a time until the late 1970 's when the Gild carried out research and rediscovered it ) or apprenticeship . Once ' sworn in ' , freemen can join the Gild ( Archaic spelling used ) of Freemen who continue to take an interest in the affairs of the city .

For Freedom awarded specifically in Dublin , see Freedom of the City of Dublin . <P> In Ireland , borough freedom of the city is generally given to noted foreign and national dignitaries and the list rarely exceeds a few dozen .

This practice is a variation on the Freedom of the City tradition , and has a similar symbolic meaning ; evoking medieval walled cities , the gates of which would be guarded during the day and locked at night , the key symbolises the freedom of the recipient to enter and leave the city at will , as a trusted friend of city residents . </P> <P> In some cities in the Netherlands , Belgium , and Germany , the key to the city is given to the so - called `` prince carnival ( nl ) '' who leads the carnivals which take place the week prior to Septuagesima . The tradition is that the mayor steps down for this period and power is transferred to the prince carnival , who then returns the key at the end of Shrove Tuesday / Mardi Gras . Today , the handing over of the key is mostly symbolic and marks the start and end of the carnival . </P> <P> In Calgary , Alberta , Canada , instead of a key , esteemed visitors receive a white cowboy hat and usually recite one of two oaths ( one formal , the other more silly ) to become honorary Calgarians . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> List of Freedom of the City recipients ( military ) </Li> <Li> Honorary citizenship </Li> </Ul> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> ^ Jump up to : `` 1985 -- 75th Anniversary Naval Service of Canada '' .

A topographic map with contour lines Part of the same map in a perspective shaded relief view illustrating how the contour lines follow the terrain Section of topographical map of Nablus area ( West Bank ) with contour lines at 100 - meter intervals . Heights are colour - coded <P> In modern mapping , a topographic map is a type of map characterized by large - scale detail and quantitative representation of relief , usually using contour lines , but historically using a variety of methods . Traditional definitions require a topographic map to show both natural and man - made features . A topographic map is typically published as a map series , made up of two or more map sheets that combine to form the whole map . A contour line is a line connecting places of equal elevation . </P> <P> Natural Resources Canada provides this description of topographic maps : </P> <P> These maps depict in detail ground relief ( landforms and terrain ) , drainage ( lakes and rivers ) , forest cover , administrative areas , populated areas , transportation routes and facilities ( including roads and railways ) , and other man - made features . </P> <P> Other authors define topographic maps by contrasting them with another type of map ; they are distinguished from smaller - scale `` chorographic maps '' that cover large regions , `` planimetric maps '' that do not show elevations , and `` thematic maps '' that focus on specific topics . </P> <P> However , in the vernacular and day to day world , the representation of relief ( contours ) is popularly held to define the genre , such that even small - scale maps showing relief are commonly ( and erroneously , in the technical sense ) called `` topographic '' . </P> <P> The study or discipline of topography is a much broader field of study , which takes into account all natural and man - made features of terrain . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Uses </Li> <Li> 3 Conventions </Li> <Li> 4 Publishers of national topographic map series <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Australia </Li> <Li> 4.2 Austria </Li> <Li> 4.3 Canada </Li> <Li> 4.4 China </Li> <Li> 4.5 Colombia </Li> <Li> 4.6 Denmark </Li> <Li> 4.7 Finland </Li> <Li> 4.8 France </Li> <Li> 4.9 Germany </Li> <Li> 4.10 Greece </Li> <Li> 4.11 Hong Kong </Li> <Li> 4.12 India </Li> <Li> 4.13 Japan </Li> <Li> 4.14 Nepal </Li> <Li> 4.15 Netherlands </Li> <Li> 4.16 New Zealand </Li> <Li> 4.17 Pakistan </Li> <Li> 4.18 Portugal </Li> <Li> 4.19 Romania </Li> <Li> 4.20 Russia </Li> <Li> 4.21 Spain </Li> <Li> 4.22 South Africa </Li> <Li> 4.23 Switzerland </Li> <Li> 4.24 Taiwan </Li> <Li> 4.25 United Kingdom </Li> <Li> 4.26 United States </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> See also : Topography § Etymology , Cadastre § History , and Cartography § History <P> Topographic maps are based on topographical surveys . Performed at large scales , these surveys are called topographical in the old sense of topography , showing a variety of elevations and landforms . This is in contrast to older cadastral surveys , which primarily show property and governmental boundaries . The first multi-sheet topographic map series of an entire country , the Carte géométrique de la France , was completed in 1789 . The Great Trigonometric Survey of India , started by the East India Company in 1802 , then taken over by the British Raj after 1857 was notable as a successful effort on a larger scale and for accurately determining heights of Himalayan peaks from viewpoints over one hundred miles distant . </P> Global indexing system first developed for International Map of the World <P> Topographic surveys were prepared by the military to assist in planning for battle and for defensive emplacements ( thus the name and history of the United Kingdom 's Ordnance Survey ) . As such , elevation information was of vital importance . </P> <P> As they evolved , topographic map series became a national resource in modern nations in planning infrastructure and resource exploitation . In the United States , the national map - making function which had been shared by both the Army Corps of Engineers and the Department of the Interior migrated to the newly created United States Geological Survey in 1879 , where it has remained since . </P> <P> 1913 saw the beginning of the International Map of the World initiative , which set out to map all of Earth 's significant land areas at a scale of 1 : 1 million , on about one thousand sheets , each covering four degrees latitude by six or more degrees longitude . Excluding borders , each sheet was 44 cm high and ( depending on latitude ) up to 66 cm wide . Although the project eventually foundered , it left an indexing system that remains in use . </P> <P> By the 1980s , centralized printing of standardized topographic maps began to be superseded by databases of coordinates that could be used on computers by moderately skilled end users to view or print maps with arbitrary contents , coverage and scale . For example , the Federal government of the United States ' TIGER initiative compiled interlinked databases of federal , state and local political borders and census enumeration areas , and of roadways , railroads , and water features with support for locating street addresses within street segments . TIGER was developed in the 1980s and used in the 1990 and subsequent decennial censuses . Digital elevation models ( DEM ) were also compiled , initially from topographic maps and stereographic interpretation

The award announcement acknowledged the fact that `` the world 's nine nuclear - armed powers and their allies '' neither signed nor supported the treaty - based prohibition known as the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons or nuclear ban treaty , yet in an interview Committee Chair Berit Reiss - Andersen told reporters that the award was intended to give `` encouragement to all players in the field '' to disarm . The award was hailed by civil society as well as governmental and intergovernmental representatives who support the nuclear ban treaty , but drew criticism from those opposed . At the Nobel Peace Prize award ceremony held in Oslo City Hall on December 10 , 2017 , Setsuko Thurlow , an 85 - year - old survivor of the 1945 atomic bombing of Hiroshima , and ICAN Executive Director Beatrice Fihn jointly received a medal and diploma of the award on behalf of ICAN and delivered the Nobel lecture . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Award </Li> <Li> 2 Congratulatory reactions </Li> <Li> 3 Critical reactions </Li> <Li> 4 Commentaries </Li> <Li> 5 Award funding </Li> <Li> 6 Award ceremony </Li> <Li> 7 Past Award recognition of disarmament efforts </Li> <Li> 8 See also </Li> <Li> 9 References </Li> <Li> 10 External links </Li> </Ul> <H2> Award ( edit ) </H2> <P> A global civil society coalition of 468 peace , human rights , environment , development and faith groups as of 2017 , ICAN was recognized for its decade - long consensus - building support for the Humanitarian Pledge and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons . Nobel Committee Chair Berit Reiss - Andersen described ICAN 's work as having `` brought the debate forward by focusing so heavily on the humanitarian consequences of using nuclear arms . '' </P> <P> The Peace Prize announcement came in the midst of the 2017 North Korea crisis , uncertainty over certification of Iran 's compliance with the 2015 accord that limits Iran 's nuclear program , the Doomsday Clock assessment in January 2017 of the highest threat of nuclear war since 1953 , heightened rhetoric between Indian and Pakistani military officials to target each other and retaliate with the early use nuclear weapons , Russia 's strategic doctrine calling for early use of nuclear weapons against any `` major NATO assault '' on its territory , and opposition by nuclear powers to the nuclear ban treaty and its ratification . </P> <P> In a telephone interview immediately after the announcement , ICAN Executive Director Beatrice Fihn said that , the Cold War being long over , possession and use of weapons of mass destruction `` is no longer acceptable '' in the 21st century . In a formal statement , ICAN called the 2017 prize a tribute to `` the tireless efforts of many millions of campaigners and concerned citizens worldwide who , ever since the dawn of the atomic age , have loudly protested nuclear weapons '' and to `` the survivors of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki -- the hibakusha -- and victims of nuclear test explosions '' . Holding a press conference at UN Headquarters , in New York , the ICAN executive director said that disarmament campaign efforts of a `` new generation , '' of `` people who grew up after the Cold War and do n't understand why we still have the ( nuclear ) weapons , '' were in effect also being recognized by the award . </P> <P> Nominations for the prize numbered 318 , including 215 individuals and 103 organizations , second highest to the record 376 nominations considered in 2016 . Though the Nobel Committee does not release names being considered for 50 years , reportedly they included : Tong Jen and Onodera Toshitaki seeking justice for Chinese victims of wartime atrocities during World War II ; organizers Iran Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif and EU foreign policy chief Federica Mogherini of the 2015 Iran Deal negotiations ; UNHCR and High Commissioner Filippo Grandi for their work on the rights and dignity of refugees ; Turkish journalists Cumhuriyet and Can Dündar ; The Economic Community of West African States ( ECOWAS ) for their work securing Gambia 's political transition ; and the humanitarian White Helmets , also known as the Syrian Civil Defense , and Raed al Saleh . </P> <H2> Congratulatory reactions ( edit ) </H2> <P> Congratulatory messages in the days following the award announcement came from individual disarmament supporters as well as ICAN coalition organizations , other civil society groups , public figures , governments and the United Nations , including : survivors of the Hiroshima and Nagasaki bombings

series , new characters were introduced and subsequently joined the team . The original Justice League first appeared in the DC comic book The Brave and the Bold # 28 ( 1960 ) , and consisted of members Superman , Batman , Wonder Woman , Flash , Green Lantern , Aquaman , and the Martian Manhunter . In Smallville , the team did not make its first official appearance until the season six episode `` Justice '' , although each member had been previously introduced individually on various episodes since season four . In the series , the team never formalized a name for themselves , although the cast and crew officially recognized the team as the `` Justice League '' . </P> <P> Series ' writers wanted to make sure the characters had similar characteristics to their comic book counterparts , but at the same time , could become a means for Clark Kent to learn about himself . The creative team attempted to stay true to the spirit of the comic in costume design for certain characters , while costumes for other characters were changed dramatically . All of the characters possess superpowers , with the exception of Green Arrow / Oliver Queen , so Entity FX was brought in to digitally create each character 's powers using 3 - D and 2 - D technologies . </P> <P> In addition to the live - action television series , the Justice League has also been featured in a promotional tie - in with Toyota , through an interactive , online comic book .

The first member to appear on Smallville , other than Clark Kent ( Tom Welling ) , was Bart Allen ( Kyle Gallner ) , who was introduced in the season four episode `` Run '' . In the episode , Bart is the first person Clark discovers to have a superhuman ability -- being able to run at supersonic speeds -- that was not created from exposure to kryptonite .

Arthur arrives in Smallville to stop an underwater weapon developed by Lex Luthor ( Michael Rosenbaum ) , which is killing the surrounding ocean life . Arthur and Clark initially clash on Arthur 's tactics ; Arthur tries to blow up Lex 's lab , while Clark insists that they should simply talk to Lex face - to - face and ask him to stop . Eventually , Arthur and Clark locate and destroy the weapon outright . Season five also introduced Victor Stone ( Lee Thompson Young ) in the episode `` Cyborg '' . Here , it is revealed that Victor was mortally wounded in a car accident that also took the lives of his family , but Lex 's company , LuthorCorp , took Victor 's body to a research lab where they experimented on him -- ultimately replacing his bone skeleton with a metal one . Clark attempts to provide Victor with a safe haven after Victor escapes from Lex 's facility . Clark manages to convince Lex to stop hunting Victor , who eventually leaves Smallville with his girlfriend . </P> <P> Oliver Queen ( Justin Hartley ) , a billionaire who left Star City to live in Metropolis , arrives in the season six episode `` Sneeze '' to investigate Lex Luthor . In the episode `` Arrow '' , Oliver begins masquerading around Metropolis as a costumed vigilante , named `` Green Arrow '' by Lois Lane ( Erica Durance ) , who robs from the rich -- only taking objects he knows were already stolen by those wealthy individuals -- and gives to the poor . Oliver also begins a romantic relationship with Lois . Eventually , Oliver 's vigilante life takes priority , and he and Lois break up when Oliver is forced to leave town to investigate more of Lex 's machinations . In season eight 's premiere , Oliver moves back to Metropolis , and begins searching for Lex , who has been missing since the season seven finale . Oliver believes he has tracked Lex 's whereabouts in the episode `` Bride '' , but he does not find Lex when he arrives ; instead , Oliver reveals that he plans to kill Lex when he does find him because of the threat he perceives Lex poses to both Clark and the

In 1936 , Alan Dinehart legally changed his name to Mason Alan Dinehart , the same name as his father , so that his younger son from the second marriage could be known as Mason Alan Dinehart III . This name change created confusion because the senior Dinehart 's first son from his first marriage was already Alan Dinehart , Jr. ( 1918 -- 1992 ) , the former animation and voice director for Hanna - Barbera . </P> <P> Mason Alan Dinehart is the father of eight children from three marriages . He has two children each from his first and second marriages to Evelyn Myers ( 1954 -- 1958 ) and Barbara Blakely ( 1958 -- 1965 ) , respectively . In 1982 , he married for the third time ; he and the former Miranda Gazal have four children . One of his children , Scott Dinehart , died in 2010 of an emergency hip operation . </P> <H2> Bat Masterson ( edit ) </H2> <P> Dinehart played the youthful Bat Masterson who is the understudy of Wyatt Earp in learning the proper techniques of frontier law enforcement . Earp rarely calls him `` Bat '' but `` Mr. Masterson '' to teach the young man maturity . In a 1956 episode `` Bat Masterson Again , '' Earp shows young Masterson on the proper use of a pistol . During this time Masterson was elected sheriff of Ford County , Kansas , which includes the county seat of Dodge City . Bill Tilghman had been denied the right to run for sheriff again . Earp as an appointed town marshal works with an elected sheriff , and their differences in jurisdiction do not cause any problems . Bat 's brother , Ed Masterson , played by Brad Johnson , formerly the deputy sheriff on the Annie Oakley television series , is shot in an ambush by drunken cowboys , and Masterson settles the score . When Earp finally comes to Tombstone , Arizona Territory , he lacks the working relationship with Sheriff Johnny Behan that he had in Kansas with Bat Masterson . </P> <P> Dinehart 's performance of Masterson was so highly regarded that ABC offered him a spinoff series , but he declined , soon left acting , and entered the business field . Dinehart 's last appearance on the series is the episode `` Dodge Is Civilized '' ( April 28 , 1959 ) , in which he serves notice that he is headed to Tombstone , where he hopes Earp will join him in time . There is never a reunion show , and the Masterson character , now a gambler , is written out of The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp . The historical Earp did visit Tombstone to see his friend Masterson , who in time became a figure of western folklore , finishing his long career as a sportswriter in New York City . Masterson 's hat inspired the name of the Brown Derby restaurants in Los Angeles . </P> <P> By the time Dinehart left The Life and Legend of Wyatt Earp , Gene Barry had already assumed for nearly a year the role of a more mature Masterson , one in his early forties , in the NBC western series Bat Masterson . Some viewers complained of the change in actors portraying Bat Masterson , but in time Barry was the one most remembered for the role , not Dinehart , who left show business . </P> <H2> Other acting roles ( edit ) </H2> <P> Dinehart 's first acting role was uncredited as `` Superman '' at the age of twelve in the 1948 film Superman . Dinehart was the first actor on screen to play Superman. * He played Superman as a boy diving into a haystack to recover his mother 's lost ring , using his Xray vision to find it . Thereafter , he had uncredited roles as a teenager in other films . In 1954 , he was cast as Ted Miller in the episode `` Hot Rod '' of the CBS legal drama series The Public Defender . In 1956 , he played Clint Donoran in the episode `` Outlaw

In defiance of the Tea Act of May 10 , 1773 the demonstrators , some disguised as Native Americans , destroyed an entire shipment of tea sent by the East India Company . They boarded the ships and threw the chests of tea into Boston Harbor . The British government responded harshly and the episode escalated into the American Revolution . The Tea Party became an iconic event of American history , and since then other political protests such as the Tea Party movement have referred to themselves as historical successors to the Boston protest of 1773 . </P> <P> The Tea Party was the culmination of a resistance movement throughout British America against the Tea Act , which had been passed by the British Parliament in 1773 . Colonists objected to the Tea Act because they believed that it violated their rights as Englishmen to `` No taxation without representation '' , that is , to be taxed only by their own elected representatives and not by a British parliament in which they were not represented . In addition , the well - connected East India Company had been granted competitive advantages over colonial tea importers , who resented the move and feared additional infringement on their business . Protesters had successfully prevented the unloading of taxed tea in three other colonies , but in Boston , embattled Royal Governor Thomas Hutchinson refused to allow the tea to be returned to Britain . </P> <P> The Boston Tea Party was a significant event in the growth of the American Revolution . Parliament responded in 1774 with the Coercive Acts , or Intolerable Acts , which , among other provisions , ended local self - government in Massachusetts and closed Boston 's commerce . Colonists up and down the Thirteen Colonies in turn responded to the Coercive Acts with additional acts of protest , and by convening the First Continental Congress , which petitioned the British monarch for repeal of the acts and coordinated colonial resistance to them .

When tea became popular in the British colonies , Parliament sought to eliminate foreign competition by passing an act in 1721 that required colonists to import their tea only from Great Britain .

Easter egg - wikipedia <H1> Easter egg </H1> Jump to : navigation , search This article is about special eggs painted around Easter . For a secret message hidden in media , see Easter egg ( media ) . Decorated Easter eggs <P> Easter eggs , also called Paschal eggs , are decorated eggs that are usually used as gifts on the occasion of Easter . As such , Easter eggs are common during the season of Eastertide ( Easter season ) . The oldest tradition is to use dyed and painted chicken eggs , but a modern custom is to substitute chocolate eggs wrapped in colourful foil , hand - carved wooden eggs , or plastic eggs filled with confectionery such as chocolate . However , real eggs continue to be used in Eastern European tradition . Although eggs , in general , were a traditional symbol of fertility and rebirth , in Christianity , for the celebration of Eastertide , Easter eggs symbolize the empty tomb of Jesus , from which Jesus resurrected . In addition , one ancient tradition was the staining of Easter eggs with the colour red `` in memory of the blood of Christ , shed as at that time of his crucifixion . '' This custom of the Easter egg can be traced to early Christians of Mesopotamia , and from there it spread into Russia and Siberia through the Orthodox Churches , and later into Europe through the Catholic and Protestant Churches . This Christian use of eggs may have been influenced by practices in `` pre-dynastic period in Egypt , as well as amid the early cultures of Mesopotamia and Crete '' . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Decoration and symbolism <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Lenten tradition </Li> <Li> 2.2 Symbolism and related customs </Li> <Li> 2.3 Colouring </Li> <Li> 2.4 Patterning </Li> <Li> 2.5 Use of Easter eggs in decorations </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Easter egg games <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Egg hunts </Li> <Li> 3.2 Egg rolling </Li> <Li> 3.3 Egg tapping </Li> <Li> 3.4 Egg dance </Li> <Li> 3.5 Pace egg plays </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Variants <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Chocolate eggs </Li> <Li> 4.2 Marzipan eggs </Li> <Li> 4.3 Artificial eggs </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Legends <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Christian traditions </Li> <Li> 5.2 Parallels in other faiths </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> A decorated ostrich egg with Punic artwork <P> The practice of decorating eggshells as part of spring rituals is ancient , with decorated , engraved ostrich eggs found in Africa which are 60,000 years old . In the pre-dynastic period of Egypt and the early cultures of Mesopotamia and Crete , eggs were associated with death and rebirth , as well as with kingship , with decorated ostrich eggs , and representations of ostrich eggs in gold and silver , were commonly placed in graves of the ancient Sumerians and Egyptians as early as 5,000 years ago . These cultural relationships may have influenced early Christian and Islamic cultures in those areas , as well as through mercantile , religious , and political links from those areas around the Mediterranean . </P> Red coloured Easter egg with Christian cross , from the Saint Kosmas Aitolos Greek Orthodox Monastery <P> The Christian custom of Easter eggs , specifically , started among the early Christians of Mesopotamia , who stained eggs with red colouring `` in memory of the blood of Christ , shed at His crucifixion '' . The Christian Church officially adopted the custom , regarding the eggs as a symbol of the resurrection of Jesus , with the Roman Ritual , the first edition of which was published in 1610 but which has texts of much older date , containing among the Easter Blessings of Food , one for eggs , along with those for lamb , bread , and new produce . The blessing is for consumption as a food , rather than decorated . </P> <P> Lord , let the grace of your blessing + come upon these eggs , that they be healthful food for your faithful who eat them in thanksgiving for the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ , who lives and reigns with you forever and ever . </P> <P> Sociology professor Kenneth Thompson discusses the spread of the Easter egg throughout Christendom , writing that `` use of eggs at Easter seems to have come from Persia into the Greek Christian Churches of Mesopotamia , thence to Russia and Siberia through the medium of Orthodox Christianity . From the Greek Church the custom was adopted by either the Roman Catholics or the Protestants and then spread through Europe . '' Both Thompson , as well as British orientalist Thomas Hyde state that in addition to dying the eggs red , the early Christians of Mesopotamia also stained Easter eggs green and yellow . </P> <P> Influential 19th century folklorist and philologist Jacob Grimm speculates , in the second volume of his Deutsche Mythologie , that the folk custom of Easter eggs among the continental Germanic peoples may have stemmed from springtime festivities of a Germanic goddess known in Old English as Ēostre ( namesake of modern English Easter ) and possibly known in Old High German as * Ostara ( and thus namesake of Modern German Ostern ' Easter ' ) : </P> <Dl> <Dd> The heathen Easter had much in common with May - feast and the reception of spring , particularly in matter of bonfires . Then , through long ages there seem to have lingered among the people Easter - games so - called , which the church itself had to tolerate : I allude especially to the custom of Easter eggs , and to the Easter tale which preachers told from the pulpit for the people 's amusement , connecting it with Christian reminiscences . </Dd> </Dl> <P> Although one of the Christian

Region of the People 's Republic of China . This event was broadcast on television and radio stations across the world . </P> <H2> Government ( edit ) </H2> A BDTC passport issued to Hong Kong permanent residents with British Dependent Territories Citizenship before 1997 . On 1 July 1997 , all Hong Kong residents lost their BDTC status and most acquired Chinese nationality . <P> In January 1841 , when Elliot declared Hong Kong 's cession to Britain , he proclaimed that the government shall devolve upon the office of Chief Superintendent of British Trade in China . He issued a proclamation with Commodore Bremer to the inhabitants on 1 February , declaring that they `` are hereby promised protection , in her majesty 's gracious name , against all enemies whatever ; and they are further secured in the free exercise of their religious rites , ceremonies , and social customs ; and in the enjoyment of their lawful private property and interests . '' Elliot declared that Chinese natives would be governed under Chinese laws ( excluding torture ) , and that British subjects and foreigners would fall under British law . However , London decided that English law should prevail . </P> <P> The Letters Patent of 5 April 1843 defined the constitutional structure of Hong Kong as a Crown colony and the Royal Instructions detailed how the territory should be governed and organised . The Letters Patent prescribed a Governor as head of government , and both the Executive Council and Legislative Council being advisors to the Governor . The administrative civil service of the colony was led by a Colonial Secretary ( later Chief Secretary ) , who was deputy to the Governor . </P> <P> For almost all of its history under British rule , executive power in Hong Kong was concentrated in the hands of the colony governor , a position appointed by the British crown without any democratic input from Hong Kong citizens . The introduction of elected representatives determined by local elections , even limited to the role of `` advisory councils '' , did not begin until after the 1984 agreements by the British to hand Hong Kong over to China . </P> <H3> Cadets ( edit ) </H3> <P> In 1861 , Governor Sir Hercules Robinson introduced the Hong Kong Cadetship , which recruited young graduates from Britain to learn Cantonese and written Chinese for two years , before deploying them on a fast track to the Civil Service . Cadet officers gradually formed the backbone of the civil administration . After the Second World War , ethnic Chinese were allowed into the service , followed by women . Cadets were renamed Administrative Officers in the 1950s , and they remained the elite of the Civil Service during British rule . </P> <H2> Economy ( edit ) </H2> Victoria Harbour in 1988 , showing the Bank of China Tower being built <P> The stability , security , and predictability of British law and government enabled Hong Kong to flourish as a centre for international trade . In the colony 's first decade , the revenue from the opium trade was a key source of government funds . The importance of opium reduced over time , but the colonial government was dependent on its revenues until the Japanese occupation in 1941 . Although the largest businesses in the early colony were operated by British , American , and other expatriates , Chinese workers provided the bulk of the manpower to build a new port city . </P> <P> By the late 1980s , many ethnic Chinese people had become major business figures in Hong Kong . Amongst these billionaires was Sir Ka - shing Li , who had become one of the colony 's wealthiest people by this time . </P> <H2> Opposition , internal dissent and the Cultural Revolution ( edit ) </H2> Police confrontation during 1967 Leftist Riots <P> There was considerable opposition from Chinese nationalists to the British rule due to its implications for Hong Kong self - determination , particularly in the political arena . Early dissent such as the Canton -- Hong Kong strike were anti-British and anti-imperialist in nature . Later , shortly after the outbreak of the Cultural Revolution in the People 's Republic in May 1966 , local left - wing activists looked for opportunities to instigate an anti-British struggle . The 1966 riots and the 1967 Leftist riots , essentially spillovers from the Cultural Revolution , were large scale demonstrations against British colonial rule that was fuelled by tensions surrounding labour disputes and dissatisfaction towards the government . During this period , groups such as the Anti-British Struggle Committee were established for the purpose of targeting the British Colonial government . While primarily organised by pro-Communist members and sympathizers from the mainland , the anti-British movement also garnered local support . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> List of heads of Hong Kong by education </Li> </Ul> <H2> Notes ( edit ) </H2> <Dl> <Dt> Footnotes </Dt> </Dl> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ No specific variation of Chinese was mentioned in the Official Languages Ordinance but Cantonese was de facto official since 1974 . </Li> </Ol> <Dl> <Dt> Citations </Dt> </Dl> <Ol> <Li> ^ Jump up to : Tsang 2004 , pp. 9 -- 10 </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Tsang 2004 , p. 11 </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Tsang 2004 , p. 21 </Li> <Li> ^ Jump up to : The Chinese Repository .

The hydrophobic and shape complementarity between the peptide substrate P sidechain and the enzyme S binding cavity accounts for the substrate specificity of this enzyme . Chymotrypsin also hydrolyzes other amide bonds in peptides at slower rates , particularly those containing leucine and methionine at the P position . </P> <P> Structurally , it is the archetypal structure for its superfamily , the PA clan of proteases . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Activation </Li> <Li> 2 Mechanism of action and kinetics </Li> <Li> 3 Isozymes </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 Further reading </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Activation ( edit ) </H2> <P> Chymotrypsin is synthesized in the pancreas by protein biosynthesis as a precursor called chymotrypsinogen that is enzymatically inactive . Trypsin activates chymotrypsinogen by cleaving peptidic bonds in positions Arg15 - Ile16 and produces π - Chymotrypsin . In turn , aminic group ( - NH3 ) of the Ile16 residue interacts with the side chain of Glu194 , producing the `` oxyanion hole '' and the hydrophobic `` S1 pocket '' . Moreover , Chymotrypsin induces its own activation by cleaving in positions 14 - 15 , 146 - 147 and 148 - 149 , producing α - Chymotrypsin ( which is more active and stable than π - Chymotrypsin ) . The resulting molecule is a three - polypeptide molecule interconnected via disulfide bonds . </P> <H2> Mechanism of action and kinetics ( edit ) </H2> See also : Catalytic triad <P> In vivo , chymotrypsin is a proteolytic enzyme ( Serine protease ) acting in the digestive systems of many organisms . It facilitates the cleavage of peptide bonds by a hydrolysis reaction , which despite being thermodynamically favorable occurs extremely slowly in the absence of a catalyst . The main substrates of chymotrypsin are peptide bonds in which the amino acid N - terminal to the bond is a tryptophan , tyrosine , phenylalanine , or leucine . Like many proteases , chymotrypsin will also hydrolyse amide bonds in vitro , a virtue that enabled the use of substrate analogs such as N - acetyl - L - phenylalanine p - nitrophenyl amide for enzyme assays . </P> Mechanism of peptide bond cleavage in α - chymotrypsin <P> Chymotrypsin cleaves peptide bonds by attacking the unreactive carbonyl group with a powerful nucleophile , the serine 195 residue located in the active site of the enzyme , which briefly becomes covalently bonded to the substrate , forming an enzyme - substrate intermediate . Along with histidine 57 and aspartic acid 102 , this serine residue constitutes the catalytic triad of the active site . </P> <P> These findings rely on inhibition assays and the study of the kinetics of cleavage of the aforementioned substrate , exploiting the fact that the enzyme - substrate intermediate p - nitrophenolate has a yellow colour , enabling us to measure its concentration by measuring light absorbance at 410 nm . </P> <P> It was found that the reaction of chymotrypsin with its substrate takes place in two stages , an initial `` burst '' phase at the beginning of the reaction and a steady - state phase following Michaelis - Menten kinetics .

Starting in either the 10th or 11th century , West Norse sailors explored and briefly settled on the shores of present - day Canada , according to Icelandic Sagas , but violent conflicts with the indigenous population ultimately led to the Norse abandoning those settlements . </P> Political map of the Americas in 1794 <P> European colonization began in 1492 , when a Spanish expedition headed by the Genoese explorer Christopher Columbus sailed west to find a new trade route to the Far East but inadvertently landed in what came to be known to Europeans as the `` New World '' . Running aground on the northern part of Hispaniola on 5 December 1492 , which the Taino people had inhabited since the 7th century , the site became the first European settlement in the Americas after the Norse . European conquest , large - scale exploration and colonization soon followed . Columbus 's first two voyages ( 1492 -- 93 ) reached the Bahamas and various Caribbean islands , including Hispaniola , Puerto Rico and Cuba . In 1498 , sailing from Bristol on behalf of England , John Cabot landed on the North American coast , and a year later , Columbus 's third voyage reached the South American coast . As the sponsor of Christopher Columbus 's voyages , Spain was the first European power to settle and colonize the largest areas , from North America and the Caribbean to the southern tip of South America . </P> <P> Other powers such as France also founded colonies in the Americas : in eastern North America , a number of Caribbean islands and small coastal parts of South America . Portugal colonized Brazil , tried colonizing the eastern coasts of present - day Canada and settled for extended periods northwest ( on the east bank ) of the River Plate . The Age of Exploration was the beginning of territorial expansion for several European countries . Europe had been preoccupied with internal wars and was slowly recovering from the loss of population caused by the Black Death ; thus the rapid rate at which it grew in wealth and power was unforeseeable in the early 15th century . </P> <P> Eventually , most of the Western Hemisphere came under the control of European governments , leading to changes to its landscape , population , and plant and animal life . In the 19th century over 50 million people left Europe for the Americas . The post-1492 era is known as the period of the Columbian Exchange , a dramatically widespread exchange of animals , plants , culture , human populations ( including slaves ) , ideas and communicable disease between the American and Afro - Eurasian hemispheres following Columbus 's voyages to the Americas . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Norse trans - oceanic contact </Li> <Li> 2 Early conquests , claims and colonies </Li> <Li> 3 Early state - sponsored colonists </Li> <Li> 4 The search for riches </Li> <Li> 5 Religious immigration </Li> <Li> 6 Forced immigration and enslavement <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Slavery </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 Disease and indigenous population loss </Li> <Li> 8 Impact of colonial land ownership on long - term development </Li> <Li> 9 List of European colonies in the Americas <Ul> <Li> 9.1 English and ( after 1707 ) British </Li> <Li> 9.2 Courland </Li> <Li> 9.3 Danish </Li> <Li> 9.4 Dutch </Li> <Li> 9.5 French </Li> <Li> 9.6 Knights of Malta </Li> <Li> 9.7 Norwegian </Li> <Li> 9.8 Portuguese </Li> <Li> 9.9 Russian </Li> <Li> 9.10 Scottish </Li> <Li> 9.11 Spanish </Li> <Li> 9.12 Swedish </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 10 Exhibitions and collections </Li> <Li> 11 See also </Li> <Li> 12 Notes </Li> <Li> 13 Bibliography </Li> <Li> 14 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Norse trans - oceanic contact ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Norse colonization of the Americas Voyages of the Vikings to America . <P> Norse journeys to Greenland and Canada are supported by historical and archaeological evidence .

Great Pyramid of Giza ( also known as the Pyramid of Khufu or the Pyramid of Cheops ) is the oldest and largest of the three pyramids in the Giza pyramid complex bordering what is now El Giza , Egypt . It is the oldest of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World , and the only one to remain largely intact . </P> <P> Based on a mark in an interior chamber naming the work gang and a reference to the fourth dynasty Egyptian Pharaoh Khufu , Egyptologists believe that the pyramid was built as a tomb over a 10 - to 20 - year period concluding around 2560 BC . Initially at 146.5 metres ( 481 feet ) , the Great Pyramid was the tallest man - made structure in the world for more than 3,800 years . Originally , the Great Pyramid was covered by limestone casing stones that formed a smooth outer surface ; what is seen today is the underlying core structure . Some of the casing stones that once covered the structure can still be seen around the base . There have been varying scientific and alternative theories about the Great Pyramid 's construction techniques . Most accepted construction hypotheses are based on the idea that it was built by moving huge stones from a quarry and dragging and lifting them into place . </P> <P> There are three known chambers inside the Great Pyramid . The lowest chamber is cut into the bedrock upon which the pyramid was built and was unfinished . The so - called Queen 's Chamber and King 's Chamber are higher up within the pyramid structure . The main part of the Giza complex is a set of buildings that included two mortuary temples in honour of Khufu ( one close to the pyramid and one near the Nile ) , three smaller pyramids for Khufu 's wives , an even smaller `` satellite '' pyramid , a raised causeway connecting the two temples , and small mastaba tombs surrounding the pyramid for nobles . </P> Transparent view of Khufu 's pyramid from SE .

Khufu 's vizier , Hemiunu ( also called Hemon ) is believed by some to be the architect of the Great Pyramid . It is thought that , at construction , the Great Pyramid was originally 280 Egyptian Royal cubits tall ( 146.5 metres ( 480.6 ft ) ) , but with erosion and absence of its pyramidion , its present height is 138.8 metres ( 455.4 ft ) . Each base side was 440 cubits , 230.4 metres ( 755.9 ft ) long . The mass of the pyramid is estimated at 5.9 million tonnes . The volume , including an internal hillock , is roughly 2,500,000 cubic metres ( 88,000,000 cu ft ) . </P> <P> Based on these estimates , building the pyramid in 20 years would involve installing approximately 800 tonnes of stone every day . Additionally , since it consists of an estimated 2.3 million blocks , completing the building in 20 years would involve moving an average of more than 12 of the blocks into place each hour , day and night . The first precision measurements of the pyramid were made by Egyptologist Sir Flinders Petrie in 1880 -- 82 and published as The Pyramids and Temples of Gizeh . Almost all reports are based on his measurements . Many of the casing - stones and inner chamber blocks of the Great Pyramid fit together with extremely high precision . Based on measurements taken on the north - eastern casing stones , the mean opening of the joints is only 0.5 millimetre wide ( 1 / 50 of an inch ) . </P> Great Pyramid of Giza from a 19th - century stereopticon card photo <P> The pyramid remained the tallest man - made structure in the world for over 3,800 years , unsurpassed until the 160 - metre - tall ( 520 ft ) spire of Lincoln Cathedral was completed c. 1300 . The accuracy of the pyramid 's workmanship is such that the four sides of the base have an average error of only 58 millimetres in length . The base is horizontal and flat to within ± 15 mm ( 0.6 in ) . The sides of the square base are closely aligned to the four cardinal compass points ( within four minutes of arc ) based on true north , not magnetic north , and the finished base was squared to a mean corner error of only 12 seconds of arc . </P> <P> The completed design dimensions , as suggested by Petrie 's survey and subsequent studies , are estimated to have originally been 280 Egyptian Royal cubits high by 440 cubits long at each of the four sides of its base . The ratio of the perimeter to height of 1760 / 280 Egyptian Royal cubits equates to 2 π to an accuracy of better than 0.05 % ( corresponding to the well - known approximation of π as 22 / 7 ) . Some Egyptologists consider this to have been the result of

Particularly , Comcast demands the network be carried on more widely subscribed basic programming tiers , while contradictorily arguing that sports networks not owned by the company be carried only on a dedicated sports tier . The Trail Blazers are said to be frustrated and disappointed with Comcast 's conduct over their contract with CSN Northwest in this regard . </P> <P> The Consumer Protection Committee of the Oregon House of Representatives held a hearing on February 24 , 2010 to attempt to arbitrate a carriage deal between the network , DirecTV , Dish Network and Charter Communications . No representatives for DirecTV , Dish Network or the Trail Blazers attended the hearing . On June 21 , the Trail Blazers asked the Federal Communications Commission to require Comcast to make the team 's games available to competing multichannel video programming distributors such as DirecTV and Dish Network . </P> <P> Oregon - based cable provider Canby Telcom objected to a non-negotiable subscribe fee increase that would have increased the network 's annual subscriber rate to over $32 in 2012 ; as a result , Canby announced plans to stop carrying Comcast SportsNet Northwest . Keith Galitz , president of Canby Telcom , stated `` That 's just too steep an increase for us , and it 's not in line with inflation or normal escalation of prices in the industry . '' Canby Telcom has accused Comcast of raising rates way beyond the rate of inflation and industry - wide increases . Clear Creek Television , which carried the Trail Blazers for 15 years , was rebuffed in its attempts to negotiate the above - market rate Comcast was pushing for . </P> <P> Comcast sent some of its senior staff members to Oregon after a member of the Sports Fan Coalition testified before the Oregon State Legislature on the provider 's denial of access to the network on DirecTV , Dish and other cable providers . Brian Frederick , executive director of the advocacy group , stated that `` Comcast clearly sees the public perception of its treatment of sports fans as a potential Achilles heel in efforts to acquire NBCU '' . In a November 7 , 2010 article in The Oregonian , Blazers chief executive officer Larry Miller continued to express frustration about the lack of availability for the team 's CSN - televised games . </P> <H2> Related services ( edit ) </H2> <H3> NBC Sports Northwest HD ( edit ) </H3> <P> NBC Sports Northwest HD is a 1080i high - definition simulcast feed of NBC Sports Northwest .

Coriolis force - wikipedia <H1> Coriolis force </H1> Jump to : navigation , search For the psychophysical perception effect , see Coriolis effect ( perception ) . In the inertial frame of reference ( upper part of the picture ) , the black ball moves in a straight line . However , the observer ( brown dot ) who is standing in the rotating / non-inertial frame of reference ( lower part of the picture ) sees the object as following a curved path due to the Coriolis and centrifugal forces present in this frame . <P> In physics , the Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotating reference frame . In a reference frame with clockwise rotation , the force acts to the left of the motion of the object . In one with anticlockwise rotation , the force acts to the right . Deflection of an object due to the Coriolis force is called the Coriolis effect . Though recognized previously by others , the mathematical expression for the Coriolis force appeared in an 1835 paper by French scientist Gaspard - Gustave de Coriolis , in connection with the theory of water wheels . Early in the 20th century , the term Coriolis force began to be used in connection with meteorology . </P> <P> Newton 's laws of motion describe the motion of an object in an inertial ( non-accelerating ) frame of reference . When Newton 's laws are transformed to a rotating frame of reference , the Coriolis force and centrifugal force appear . Both forces are proportional to the mass of the object . The Coriolis force is proportional to the rotation rate and the centrifugal force is proportional to the square of the rotation rate . The Coriolis force acts in a direction perpendicular to the rotation axis and to the velocity of the body in the rotating frame and is proportional to the object 's speed in the rotating frame ( more precisely , to the component of its velocity that is perpendicular to the axis of rotation ) . The centrifugal force acts outwards in the radial direction and is proportional to the distance of the body from the axis of the rotating frame . These additional forces are termed inertial forces , fictitious forces or pseudo forces . They allow the application of Newton 's laws to a rotating system . They are correction factors that do not exist in a non-accelerating or inertial reference frame . </P> <P> In popular ( non-technical ) usage of the term `` Coriolis effect '' , the rotating reference frame implied is almost always the Earth . Because the Earth spins , Earth - bound observers need to account for the Coriolis force to correctly analyze the motion of objects . The Earth completes one rotation per day , so for motions of everyday objects the Coriolis force is usually quite small compared to other forces ; its effects generally become noticeable only for motions occurring over large distances and long periods of time , such as large - scale movement of air in the atmosphere or water in the ocean . Such motions are constrained by the surface of the Earth , so only the horizontal component of the Coriolis force is generally important . This force causes moving objects on the surface of the Earth to be deflected to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern Hemisphere and to the left in the Southern Hemisphere . The horizontal deflection effect is greater near the poles , since the effective rotation rate about a local vertical axis is largest there , and decreases to zero at the equator . Rather than flowing directly from areas of high pressure to low pressure , as they would in a non-rotating system , winds and currents tend to flow to the right of this direction north of the equator and to the left of this direction south of it . This effect is responsible for the rotation of large cyclones ( see Coriolis effects in meteorology ) . </P> <P> For an intuitive explanation of the origin of the Coriolis force , consider an object moving northward in the northern hemisphere . Viewed from outer space , the object does not appear to go due north , but has an eastward motion ( it rotates around toward the right along with the surface of the Earth ) . The further north you go , the smaller the `` horizontal diameter '' of the Earth , and so the slower the eastward motion of its surface . As the object moves north , to higher latitudes , it has a tendency to maintain the eastward speed it started with ( rather than slowing down to match the reduced eastward speed of local objects on the Earth 's surface ) , so it veers east ( i.e. to the right of its initial motion ) . Though not obvious from this example , which considers northward motion , the horizontal deflection occurs equally for objects moving east or west ( or any other direction ) . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Formula </Li> <Li> 3 Causes </Li> <Li> 4 Length scales and the Rossby number </Li> <Li> 5 Simple cases <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Cannon on turntable <Ul> <Li> 5.1. 1 Trajectory in the inertial frame <Ul> <Li> 5.1. 1.1 Accelerations <Ul> <Li> 5.1. 1.1. 1 Components of acceleration </Li> <Li> 5.1. 1.1. 2 Producing accelerations </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5.2 Tossed ball on a rotating carousel </Li> <Li> 5.3 Bounced ball </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Applied to the Earth <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Intuitive explanation </Li> <Li> 6.2 Rotating sphere </Li> <Li> 6.3 Meteorology <Ul> <Li> 6.3. 1 Flow around a low - pressure area </Li> <Li> 6.3. 2 Inertial circles </Li> <Li> 6.3. 3 Other terrestrial effects </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6.4 Eötvös effect <Ul> <Li> 6.4.

The show focuses on the Huxtable family , an upper middle - class African - American family living in Brooklyn , New York . </P> <P> The Cosby Show spent five consecutive seasons as the number - one rated show on television . The Cosby Show and All in the Family are the only sitcoms in the history of the Nielsen ratings to be the number - one show for five seasons . It spent all eight of its seasons in the top 20 . </P> <P> According to TV Guide , the show `` was TV 's biggest hit in the 1980s , and almost single handedly revived the sitcom genre and NBC 's ratings fortunes . '' TV Guide also ranked it 28th on their list of 50 Greatest Shows . In addition , Cliff Huxtable was named as the `` Greatest Television Dad '' . </P> <P> In May 1992 , Entertainment Weekly stated that The Cosby Show helped to make possible a larger variety of shows with a predominantly African - American cast , from In Living Color to The Fresh Prince of Bel - Air . The Cosby Show was based on comedy routines in Cosby 's stand - up act , which in turn were based on his family life . The show led to the spinoff A Different World , which ran for six seasons from 1987 to 1993 . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Premise <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Episodes <Ul> <Li> 1.1. 1 Pilot </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Background and production <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Conception and development </Li> <Li> 2.2 Production notes </Li> <Li> 2.3 Theme song and opening sequence </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Cast and characters </Li> <Li> 4 Reception and Legacy <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Broadcast history and ratings </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Syndication <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Pulled from broadcasting </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Spin - off </Li> <Li> 7 Awards and honors <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Awards won </Li> <Li> 7.2 Nominations </Li> <Li> 7.3 Other honors </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 Albums </Li> <Li> 9 In popular culture </Li> <Li> 10 DVD releases </Li> <Li> 11 References </Li> <Li> 12 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Premise ( edit ) </H2> <P> The show focuses on the Huxtable family , an upper middle - class African - American family , living in a brownstone in Brooklyn Heights , New York , at 10 Stigwood Avenue .

both opportunity and challenge '' . </P> <H3> Introduction of feast </H3> <P> As Christmas was unknown to the early Christian writers , it must have been introduced sometime after 300 . Irenaeus and Tertullian omit it from their lists of feasts . In 245 , Origen of Alexandria , writing about Leviticus 12 : 1 -- 8 , commented that Scripture mentions only sinners as celebrating their birthdays , namely Pharaoh , who then had his chief baker hanged ( Genesis 40 : 20 -- 22 ) , and Herod , who then had John the Baptist beheaded ( Mark 6 : 21 -- 27 ) , and mentions saints as cursing the day of their birth , namely Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 20 : 14 -- 15 ) and Job ( Job 3 : 1 -- 16 ) . In 303 , Arnobius still ridiculed the idea of celebrating the birthdays of gods , a passage cited as evidence that Arnobius was unaware of any nativity celebration . But since Christmas does not celebrate Christ 's birth `` as God '' but `` as man '' , this does not necessarily show that Christmas was not a feast at this time . </P> <P> The earliest known Christmas celebration is recorded in a fourth - century manuscript compiled in Rome . This manuscript is thought to record a celebration that occurred in 336 . It was prepared privately for Furius Dionysius Filocalus , a Roman aristocrat , in 354 . The reference in question states , `` VIII kal . ian . natus Christus in Betleem Iudeæ '' translated as `` 8 Kalends January Birth of Christ in Bethlehem , Judea . '' This reference is in a section of the manuscript that was copied from earlier source material . The document also contains the earliest known reference to the feast of Sol Invictus . The fact the Donatists of North Africa celebrated Christmas suggests that the feast was established by the time that church was created in 311 . </P> <P> In Eastern Christianity the birth of Jesus was celebrated in connection with the Epiphany on January 6 , which however emphasized celebration of the baptism of Jesus . Christmas was promoted in the Christian East as part of the revival of Nicene Christianity following the death of the pro-Arian Emperor Valens at the Battle of Adrianople in 378 . The feast was introduced at Constantinople in 379 , in Antioch by John Chrysostom towards the end of the fourth century , probably in 388 , and in Alexandria only in the following century . The feast disappeared after Gregory of Nazianzus resigned as bishop in 381 , although it was reintroduced by John Chrysostom in about 400 . Even in the West , January 6 celebration of the nativity of Jesus seems to have continued until after 380 . </P> <H3> Relation to concurrent celebrations </H3> <P> Many popular customs associated with Christmas developed independently of the commemoration of Jesus ' birth , with certain elements having origins in pre-Christian festivals that were celebrated around the winter solstice by pagan populations who were later converted to Christianity . These elements , including the Yule log from Yule and gift giving from Saturnalia , became syncretized into Christmas over the centuries . The prevailing atmosphere of Christmas has also continually evolved since the holiday 's inception , ranging from a sometimes raucous , drunken , carnival - like state in the Middle Ages , to a tamer family - oriented and children - centered theme introduced in a 19th - century transformation . In fact , the celebration of Christmas was banned on more than one occasion within certain Protestant groups , such as the Puritans , due to concerns that it was too pagan or unbiblical . Jehovah 's Witnesses also reject the celebration of Christmas . </P> Mosaic of Jesus as Christus Sol ( Christ the Sun ) in Mausoleum M in the pre-fourth - century necropolis under St Peter 's Basilica in Rome . <P> Prior to and through the early Christian centuries , winter festivals -- especially those centered on the winter solstice -- were the most popular of the year in many European pagan cultures . Reasons included the fact that less agricultural work needed to be done during the winter , as well as an expectation of better weather as spring approached . Many modern Christmas customs have been directly influenced by such festivals , including : </P> <Ul> <Li> Gift - giving and merrymaking from the Roman Saturnalia , </Li> <Li> Greenery , lights , and charity from the Roman New Year , and </Li> <Li> Yule logs and various foods from Germanic feasts . </Li> </Ul> <P> The Egyptian deity Horus , son to goddess Isis , was celebrated at the winter solstice . Horus was often depicted being fed by his mother , which also influenced the symbolism of the Virgin Mary with baby Christ . </P> <P> The pre-Christian Germanic peoples -- including the Anglo - Saxons and the Norse -- celebrated a winter festival called Yule , held in the late December to early January period , yielding modern English yule , today used as a synonym for Christmas . In Germanic language - speaking areas , numerous elements of modern Christmas folk custom and iconography stem from Yule , including the Yule log , Yule boar , and the Yule goat . Often leading a ghostly procession through the sky ( the Wild Hunt ) , the long - bearded god Odin is referred to as `` the Yule one '' and `` Yule father '' in Old Norse texts , while other gods are referred to as `` Yule beings '' . </P> <P> In eastern Europe also , old pagan traditions were incorporated into Christmas celebrations , an example being the Koleda , which was incorporated into the Christmas carol . </P> <H3> Middle Ages </H3> The Nativity , from a 14th - century Missal ; a liturgical book containing texts and music necessary for the celebration of

About two thousand Nazis marched to the centre of Munich , where they confronted the police , which resulted in the death of 16 Nazis and four police officers . Hitler was not wounded during the clash , although he locked his left arm with the right arm of Max Erwin von Scheubner - Richter who , when he was shot and killed , pulled Hitler to the pavement with him . Hitler escaped immediate arrest and was spirited off to safety in the countryside . After two days , Hitler was arrested and charged with treason . </P> <P> From Hitler 's perspective , there were three positive benefits from this attempt to seize power unlawfully . First , the putsch brought Hitler to the attention of the German nation and generated front page headlines in newspapers around the world . His arrest was followed by a 24 - day trial , which was widely publicized and gave Hitler a platform to publicize his nationalist sentiment to the nation . Hitler was found guilty of treason and sentenced to five years in Landsberg Prison . The second benefit to Hitler was that he used his time in prison to produce Mein Kampf , which was dictated to his fellow prisoners Emil Maurice and Rudolf Hess . On 20 December 1924 , having served only nine months , Hitler was released . The final benefit to Hitler was the insight that the path to power was through legitimate means rather than revolution or force . Accordingly , the most significant outcome of the putsch was a decision by Hitler to change NSDAP tactics , which would demand an increasing reliance on the development and furthering of Nazi propaganda . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 The Putsch <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Counterattack </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Trial and prison </Li> <Li> 4 Fatalities <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Bavarian police </Li> <Li> 4.2 National Socialists </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Martyrdom </Li> <Li> 6 Supporters of the Putsch <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Key supporters </Li> <Li> 6.2 Other notable supporters </Li> <Li> 6.3 At the front of the march </Li> <Li> 6.4 Chief defendants in the `` Ludendorff -- Hitler '' trial </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 See also </Li> <Li> 8 Notes </Li> <Li> 9 References </Li> <Li> 10 Bibliography </Li> <Li> 11 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background ( edit ) </H2> <P> In the early 20th century , many of the larger cities of southern Germany had beer halls where hundreds or even thousands of people would socialize in the evenings , drink beer and participate in political and social debates . Such beer halls also became the host of occasional political rallies . One of Munich 's largest beer halls was the `` Bürgerbräukeller '' . This was the location of the famous Beer Hall Putsch . </P> <P> The Treaty of Versailles , which ended World War I , sounded the death knell of German power and prestige . Like many Germans of the period , Hitler believed that the treaty was a betrayal , with the country having been `` stabbed in the back '' by its own government , particularly as the German Army was popularly thought to have been undefeated in the field . Germany , it was felt , had been betrayed by civilian leaders and Marxists , who were later called the `` November Criminals '' . </P> <P> Hitler remained in the army , in Munich , after World War I.

the new year . The day was enthusiastically celebrated among the common people with picnics , drinking , and revelry . One source from late antiquity also places the Mamuralia on the Ides of March . This observance , which has aspects of scapegoat or ancient Greek pharmakos ritual , involved beating an old man dressed in animal skins and perhaps driving him from the city . The ritual may have been a new year festival representing the expulsion of the old year . </P> <P> In the later Imperial period , the Ides began a `` holy week '' of festivals celebrating Cybele and Attis , being the day Canna intrat ( `` The Reed enters '' ) , when Attis was born and found among the reeds of a Phrygian river . He was discovered by shepherds or the goddess Cybele , who was also known as the Magna Mater ( `` Great Mother '' ) ( narratives differ ) . A week later , on 22 March , the solemn commemmoration of Arbor intrat ( `` The Tree enters '' ) commemorated the death of Attis under a pine tree . A college of priests , the dendrophoroi ( `` tree bearers '' ) annually cut down a tree , hung from it an image of Attis , and carried it to the temple of the Magna Mater with lamentations . The day was formalized as part of the official Roman calendar under Claudius ( d . 54 AD ) . A three - day period of mourning followed , culminating with celebrating the rebirth of Attis on 25 March , the date of the vernal equinox on the Julian calendar . </P> <H2> Assassination of Caesar ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Assassination of Julius Caesar Reverse side of a coin issued by Caesar 's assassin Brutus in the autumn of 42 BC , with the abbreviation EID MAR ( Eidibus Martiis -- on the Ides of March ) under a `` cap of freedom '' between two daggers <P> In modern times , the Ides of March is best known as the date on which Julius Caesar was assassinated in 44 BC . Caesar was stabbed to death at a meeting of the Senate . As many as 60 conspirators , led by Brutus and Cassius , were involved . According to Plutarch , a seer had warned that harm would come to Caesar no later than the Ides of March . On his way to the Theatre of Pompey , where he would be assassinated , Caesar passed the seer and joked , `` The Ides of March are come '' , implying that the prophecy had not been fulfilled , to which the seer replied `` Aye , Caesar ; but not gone . '' This meeting is famously dramatised in William Shakespeare 's play Julius Caesar , when Caesar is warned by the soothsayer to `` beware the Ides of March . '' The Roman biographer Suetonius identifies the `` seer '' as a haruspex named Spurinna . </P> <P> Caesar 's death was a closing event in the crisis of the Roman Republic , and triggered the civil war that would result in the rise to sole power of his adopted heir Octavian ( later known as Augustus ) . Writing under Augustus , Ovid portrays the murder as a sacrilege , since Caesar was also the Pontifex Maximus of Rome and a priest of Vesta . On the fourth anniversary of Caesar 's death in 40 BC , after achieving a victory at the siege of Perugia , Octavian executed 300 senators and knights who had fought against him under Lucius Antonius , the brother of Mark Antony . The executions were one of a series of actions taken by Octavian to avenge Caesar 's death . Suetonius and the historian Cassius Dio characterised the slaughter as a religious sacrifice , noting that it occurred on the Ides of March at the new altar to the deified Julius . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Julius Caesar , a play by William Shakespeare </Li> <Li> The Ides of March , a novel by Thornton Wilder </Li> </Ul> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Anscombe , Alfred ( 1908 ) .

This season takes place at Camp Wawanakwa , a fictional island located somewhere in Muskoka , Ontario where the season is based on a summer camp theme ( although a contestant is eliminated at the end of every episode ) . Like the whole series , this season is a competition to see which of the twenty - two contestants will survive and last the longest . This is because the contestants are brutally tortured along the way through the intense challenges they are given . Challenges are sometimes based on other reality shows like Fear Factor and Survivor . All of this is so that the winner of the season ( the one to last the longest on the island and not get eliminated ) , will win a small fortune of C $ 100,000 and cheesy fame .

An added twist in this season is that the contestants are required to break spontaneously into song , or else be immediately eliminated by Chris ( although this rule was not strongly enforced , and no one was eliminated for not singing anyway ) .

It is the heaviest fully enclosed armoured fighting vehicle ever built . Five were ordered , but only two hulls and one turret were completed before the testing grounds were captured by the advancing Soviet forces . </P> <P> These two prototypes -- one with , and the other without a turret -- underwent trials in late 1944 . The complete vehicle was 10.2 metres ( 33 ft 6 in ) long , 3.71 metres ( 12 ft 2 in ) wide and 3.63 metres ( 11.9 ft ) high . Weighing 188 metric tons , the Maus 's main armament was the Krupp - designed 128 mm KwK 44 L / 55 gun , based on the 12.8 cm Pak 44 anti-tank field artillery piece also used in the casemate - type Jagdtiger tank destroyer , with a coaxial 75 mm KwK 44 L / 36.5 gun . The 128 mm gun was powerful enough to destroy all Allied armoured fighting vehicles then in service , some at ranges exceeding 3,500 metres ( 2.2 mi ) . </P> <P> The principal problem in the design of the Maus was developing an engine and drivetrain which was powerful enough to propel the tank , yet small enough to fit inside it -- as it was meant to use the same sort of `` hybrid drive '' , using an internal - combustion engine to operate an electric generator to power its tracks with electric motor units , much as its Ferdinand Porsche - designed predecessors , the VK 3001 ( P ) , VK 4501 ( P ) , and Elefant had . The drive train was electrical , designed to provide a maximum speed of 20 kilometres per hour ( 12 mph ) and a minimum speed of 1.5 kilometres per hour ( 0.93 mph ) . However , during actual field testing , the maximum speed achieved on hard surfaces was 13 kilometres per hour ( 8.1 mph ) with full motor field , and by weakening the motor field to a minimum , a top speed of 22 kilometres per hour ( 14 mph ) was achieved . The vehicle 's weight made it unable to utilize most bridges , instead it was intended to ford to a depth of 2 metres ( 6 ft 7 in ) or submerge up to a depth of 8 metres ( 26 ft 3 in ) and use a snorkel to cross rivers . </P> <P> The Maus was intended to punch holes through enemy defences in the manner of an immense `` breakthrough tank '' , whilst taking almost no damage to any components . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Development <Ul> <Li> 1.1 V1 </Li> <Li> 1.2 V2 </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Capture </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P>

The original dome collapsed in 1015 and was rebuilt in 1022 -- 23 . The Dome of the Rock is in its core one of the oldest extant works of Islamic architecture . </P> <P> Its architecture and mosaics were patterned after nearby Byzantine churches and palaces , although its outside appearance has been significantly changed in the Ottoman period and again in the modern period , notably with the addition of the gold - plated roof , in 1959 -- 61 and again in 1993 . The octagonal plan of the structure may have been influenced by the Byzantine Church of the Seat of Mary ( also known as Kathisma in Greek and al - Qadismu in Arabic ) built between 451 and 458 on the road between Jerusalem and Bethlehem . </P> <P> The site 's great significance for Muslims derives from traditions connecting it to the creation of the world and to the belief that the Prophet Muhammad 's Night Journey to heaven started from the rock at the center of the structure . </P> <P> In Jewish tradition the rock bears great significance as the Foundation Stone , the place from which the world expanded into its present form and where God gathered the dust used to create the first human , Adam ; as the site on Mount Moriah where Abraham attempted to sacrifice his son ; and as the place where God 's divine presence is manifested more than in any other place , towards which Jews turn during prayer . </P> <P> A UNESCO World Heritage Site , it has been called `` Jerusalem 's most recognizable landmark , '' along with two nearby Old City structures , the Western Wall , and the `` Resurrection Rotunda '' in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Pre-Islamic </Li> <Li> 1.2 Original construction </Li> <Li> 1.3 Abbasids and Fatimids </Li> <Li> 1.4 Crusaders </Li> <Li> 1.5 Ayyubids and Mamluks </Li> <Li> 1.6 Ottoman Empire ( 1517 -- 1917 ) </Li> <Li> 1.7 Modern history </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Accessibility </Li> <Li> 3 Religious significance </Li> <Li> 4 Architectural homages </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 Notes </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 Further reading </Li> <Li> 9 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History </H2> <H3> Pre-islamic </H3> Main articles : Temple Mount , Herod 's Temple , and Aelia Capitolina Reconstruction of Herod 's Temple as seen from the east ( Holyland Model of Jerusalem , 1966 ) <P> The Dome of the Rock is situated in the center of the Temple Mount , the site of the Temple of Solomon and the Jewish Second Temple , which had been greatly expanded under Herod the Great in the 1st century BCE . Herod 's Temple was destroyed in 70 CE by the Romans , and after the Bar Kokhba revolt in 135 CE , a Roman temple to Jupiter Capitolinus was built at the site . </P> <P> Jerusalem was ruled by the Christian Byzantine Empire throughout the 4th to 6th centuries . During this time , Christian pilgrimage to Jerusalem began to develop . The Church of the Holy Sepulchre was built under Constantine in the 320s , but the Temple Mount was left undeveloped after a failed project of restoration of the Jewish Temple under Julian the Apostate . </P> <H3> Original construction </H3> <P> The Dome of the Rock is now mostly assumed to have been built by the order of Umayyad Caliph Abd al - Malik and his son and successor Al - Walid I . According to Sibt ibn al - Jawzi , construction started in 687 . Construction cost was reportedly seven times the yearly tax income of Egypt . A dedicatory inscription

The lyrics describe the listing of household chores to a kid , presumably a teenager , the teenager 's response ( `` yakety yak '' ) and the parents ' retort ( `` do n't talk back '' ) -- an experience very familiar to a middle - class teenager of the day . Leiber has said the Coasters portrayed `` a white kid 's view of a black person 's conception of white society . '' The serio - comic street - smart `` playlets '' etched out by the songwriters were sung by the Coasters with a sly clowning humor , while the saxophone of King Curtis filled in , in the up - tempo doo - wop style .

knows if that 's even true anymore ? '' Emotionally distressed , Jenny goes to Nate 's apartment but instead finds Chuck devastated over his break - up with Blair and in her state of vulnerability , Jenny loses her virginity to Chuck . Afterward , Blair arrives willing to take Chuck back and Jenny sneaks out . She breaks down in tears to Eric , telling him that everyone hates her and that she slept with Chuck . Eric tells Dan , who confronts Chuck just as he is about to propose to Blair . Jenny , in tears , leaves with Rufus and Lily . A week later , she says her goodbyes to her family and leaves to finish high school with her mother in Hudson . </P> <H3> Season 4 ( edit ) </H3> <P> Jenny has been living in Hudson with her mother since May . Blair finds Jenny preparing for an interview with Tim Gunn , and grants her a special day pass . When Chuck steals Jenny 's portfolio , she is forced to visit The Empire Hotel , where Blair had forbidden her to go . This results in Blair and Jenny scheming against each other , and Jenny eventually telling Gossip Girl that she lost her virginity to Chuck , not Damien Dalgaard . While Jenny is left feeling victorious , a defeated Blair blames Chuck . Jenny ultimately realises the damage of her return and decides to leave for good , telling Blair and Chuck that their vindictive games against each other will soon destroy them both . </P> <P> Juliet and Vanessa Skype Jenny , asking for help to take down Serena . Jenny does n't want to go back to her old tricks but also feels Serena is to blame for everything that happened last year and can never take blame for anything , so she agrees to help with the scheme . But when Serena ends up in the hospital after being drugged by Juliet , Jenny tells Juliet that she is going to come clean with everyone about their scheme . Juliet warns her that she will be going down alone . When Jenny appears at the hospital , Vanessa has already pinned the entire scheme on her ; unable to defend herself , she leaves , showing up at Blair 's later that night , telling her that Juliet was behind everything and that she and Vanessa were merely accomplices . To prove her story , she hands Blair Juliet 's masquerade mask and earns Blair 's forgiveness . After confessing to Blair , she says she would love to help her take down Juliet , but she should return to Hudson rather than become involved in another scheme . </P> <H3> Season 5 ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the premiere episode of season 5 , `` Yes , Then Zero , '' Rufus reveals that Jenny moved to London to attend Central Saint Martins . </P> <H3> Season 6 ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the final episode of the series , it is revealed that Jenny knew that her brother , Dan Humphrey , was the mysterious blogger behind Gossip Girl . She returns to the Upper East Side , appearing in the five - year time jump for her brother 's wedding to Serena van der Woodsen . Jenny works as a designer for Blair 's fashion empire , implying that they have gotten over their past animosity . Together they create their own clothing line , `` J for Waldorf '' . </P> <H2> Reception ( edit ) </H2> <P> Rumors have been made throughout Gossip Girl 's first few seasons that Jenny would be given her own spin - off , in line with the character leaving for boarding school just like the novels . News later confirmed that producers did not pick up the spin - off . </P> <P> Jenny 's character further gained prominence during the show 's third season . Enid Portugez of the LA Times praised Jenny 's fashionable skills , stating that `` Jenny capped off the drama by showing us she 's becoming extremely adept at becoming a drug dealer . Her brilliant idea to sew pills into jacket paillettes could have easily won her a `` Project Runway '' challenge ! Despite the illegality of it all , it was nice to see Jenny put her wit and wiles to use ... '' Following the dramatic events during the third season finale , Michael Ausiello praised both Leighton Meester and Taylor Momsen 's performance . L.J. Gibbs , from TV Fanatic , gave the episode a 3.5 rating star out of 5 , and said that he felt that Chuck being shot at the end of the episode was a very `` cheap move by the writers '' , and that the storyline involving Chuck and Jenny having sex was very `` unlikely '' . Mark O. Estes , from TV Overmind , had also praised Taylor Momsen 's performance in the episode and said that he `` wish that Jenny had of gotten her own spin - off '' , and questions that if her send - off in this episode means that the show 's writers have a `` Katherine Heigl '' situation on their hands `` . However , Jenny was included in TV Guide 's list of The Most Loathed TV Characters . </P> <P> When asked during a Vanity Fair interview if `` real '' girls could afford the looks from the show , costume designers Eric Daman and Meredith Markworth - Pollack commented on Jenny 's style and stated `` Of course !

A mile and a half upstream from the city , 1,000 butchers gutted more than 300,000 animals per year . Animal entrails ( known as offal ) , dung , blood , and urine contaminated New Orleans 's drinking water , which was implicated in cholera outbreaks among the population . </P> <P> To try to control the problem , a New Orleans grand jury recommended that the slaughterhouses be moved south , but since many of the slaughterhouses were outside city limits , the grand jury 's recommendations carried no weight . The city appealed to the state legislature . As a result , in 1869 , the Louisiana legislature passed `` An Act to Protect the Health of the City of New Orleans , to Locate the Stock Landings and Slaughter Houses , and to incorporate the Crescent City Livestock Landing and Slaughter - House Company , '' which allowed the city of New Orleans to create a corporation that centralized all slaughterhouse operations in the city . At the time , New York City , San Francisco , Boston , Milwaukee , and Philadelphia had similar provisions to confine butchers to areas in order to keep offal from contaminating the water supply . </P> <P> The legislature chartered a private corporation , the Crescent City Live - Stock Landing and Slaughter - House Company , to run a Grand Slaughterhouse at the southern part of the city , opposite the Mississippi River . Crescent City would not slaughter beef itself but act as a franchise corporation , by renting out space to other butchers in the city for a fee , under a designated maximum . </P> <P> The statute also granted `` sole and exclusive privilege of conducting and carrying on the

Blue is PNS ; yellow is CNS . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th colspan="2"> Identifiers </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Acronym ( s ) </Th> <Td> PNS </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> MeSH </Th> <Td> D017933 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> TA </Th> <Td> A14. 2.00. 001 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> FMA </Th> <Td> 9903 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td colspan="2"> Anatomical terms of neuroanatomy ( edit on Wikidata ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of the two components of the nervous system , the other part is the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS . The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands . The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states : sympathetic and parasympathetic . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Structure <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Somatic nervous system <Ul> <Li> 1.1. 1 Cervical spinal nerves ( C1 -- C4 ) </Li> <Li> 1.1. 2 Brachial plexus ( C5 -- T1 ) </Li> <Li> 1.1. 3 Lumbosacral plexus ( L1 -- Co1 ) </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 1.2 Autonomic nervous system <Ul> <Li> 1.2. 1 Sympathetic nervous system </Li> <Li> 1.2. 2 Parasympathetic nervous system </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Disease </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Structure ( edit ) </H2> <P> The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system , and the autonomic nervous system . The somatic nervous system is under voluntary control , and transmits signals from the brain to end organs such as muscle s . The sensory nervous system is part of the somatic nervous system and transmits signals from senses such as taste and touch ( including fine touch and gross touch ) to the spinal cord and brain . The autonomic nervous system is a ' self - regulating ' system which influences the function of organs outside voluntary control , such as the heart rate , or the functions of the digestive system . </P> <H3> Somatic nervous system ( edit ) </H3> See also : List of nerves of the human body <P> The somatic system includes the sensory nervous system and the somatosensory system and consists of sensory nerves and somatic nerves , and many nerves which hold both functions . </P> <P> In the head and neck , cranial nerve s carry somatosensory data . There are twelve cranial nerves , ten of which originate from the brainstem , and mainly control the functions of the anatomic structures of the head with some exceptions . The nuclei of the olfactory nerve and the optic nerve s lie in the forebrain and thalamus , respectively , and are thus not considered to be true cranial nerves . One unique cranial nerve is the vagus nerve , which receives sensory information from organs in the thorax and abdomen . The accessory nerve is responsible for innervating the sternocleidomastoid and trapezius muscles , neither of which being exclusively in the head . </P> <P> For the rest of the body , spinal nerves are responsible for somatosensory information . These arise from the spinal cord . Usually these arise as a web ( `` plexus '' ) of interconnected nerves roots that arrange to form single nerves . These nerves control the functions of the rest of the body . In humans , there are 31 pairs of spinal nerves : 8 cervical , 12 thoracic , 5 lumbar , 5 sacral , and 1 coccygeal . These nerve roots are named according to the spinal vertebrata which they are adjacent to . In the cervical region , the spinal nerve roots come out above the corresponding vertebrae ( i.e. , nerve root between the skull and 1st cervical vertebrae is called spinal nerve C1 ) . From the thoracic region to the coccygeal region , the spinal nerve roots come out below the corresponding vertebrae . It is important to note that this method creates a problem when naming the spinal nerve root between C7 and T1 ( so it is called spinal nerve root C8 ) . In the lumbar and sacral region , the spinal nerve roots travel within the dural sac and they travel below the level of L2 as the cauda equina . </P> Cervical spinal nerves ( C1 -- C4 ) ( edit ) Further information : Cervical plexus <P> The first 4 cervical spinal nerves , C1 through C4 , split and recombine to produce a variety of nerves that serve the neck and back of head . </P> <P> Spinal nerve C1 is called the suboccipital nerve , which provides motor innervation to muscles at the base of the skull .

In males the hair loss often presents as a receding hairline while in females it typically presents as a thinning of the hair . </P> <P> Male pattern hair loss is believed to be due to a combination of genetics and the male hormone dihydrotestosterone . The cause in female pattern hair loss remains unclear . </P> <P> Management may include simply accepting the condition . Otherwise , treatments may include minoxidil , finasteride , or hair transplant surgery .

The Hamilton -- Norwood scale has been developed to grade androgenic alopecia in males . </P> <P> Female - pattern hair loss more often causes diffuse thinning without hairline recession ; similar to its male counterpart , female androgenic alopecia rarely leads to total hair loss .

The physiology is primarily androgenic , with dihydrotestosterone ( DHT ) being the major contributor at the dermal papillae . Men with premature androgenic alopecia tend to have lower than normal values of sex hormone - binding globulin ( SHBG ) , follicle stimulating hormone ( FSH ) , testosterone , and epitestosterone when compared to men without pattern hair loss . Although hair follicles were previously thought to be permanently gone in areas of complete hair loss , they are more likely dormant , as recent studies have shown the scalp contains the stem cell progenitor cells from which the follicles arose . </P> <P> Transgenic studies have shown that growth and dormancy of hair follicles are related to the activity of insulin - like growth factor ( IGF ) at the dermal papillae , which is affected by DHT . Androgens are important in male sexual development around birth and at puberty . They regulate sebaceous glands , apocrine hair growth , and libido . With increasing age , androgens stimulate hair growth on the face , but can suppress it at the temples and scalp vertex , a condition that has been referred to as the ' androgen paradox ' . </P> <P> Men with androgenic alopecia typically have higher 5 - alpha - reductase , lower total testosterone , higher unbound / free testosterone , and higher free androgens , including DHT . 5 - alpha - reductase converts free testosterone into DHT , and is highest in the scalp and prostate gland . DHT is most commonly formed at the tissue level by 5α - reduction of testosterone . The genetic corollary that codes for this enzyme has been discovered . Prolactin has also been suggested to have different effects on the hair follicle across gender . </P> <P> Also , crosstalk occurs between androgens and the Wnt - beta - catenin signaling pathway that leads to hair loss . At the level of the somatic stem cell , androgens promote differentiation of facial hair dermal papillae , but inhibit it at the scalp . Other research suggests the enzyme prostaglandin D2 synthase and its product prostaglandin D2 ( PGD2 ) in hair follicles as contributive . </P> <P> These observations have led to study at the level of the mesenchymal dermal papillae . Types 1 and 2 5α reductase enzymes are present at pilosebaceous units in papillae of individual hair follicles . They catalyze formation of the androgens testosterone and DHT , which in turn regulate hair growth . Androgens have different effects at different follicles : they stimulate IGF - 1 at facial hair , leading to growth , but can also stimulate TGF β1 , TGF β2 , dickkopf1 , and IL - 6 at the scalp , leading to catagenic miniaturization . Hair follicles in anaphase express four different caspases . </P> Hair follicle and mesenchymal dermal papilla , labelled at top <H2> Diagnosis ( edit )

It was preceded by the Ming dynasty and succeeded by the Republic of China . The Qing multi-cultural empire lasted almost three centuries and formed the territorial base for the modern Chinese state . It was the fourth largest empire in world history . </P> <P> The dynasty was founded by the Jurchen Aisin Gioro clan in Manchuria . In the late sixteenth century , Nurhaci , originally a Ming vassal , began organizing `` Banners '' , military - social units that included Jurchen , Han Chinese , and Mongol elements . Nurhaci formed the Jurchen clans into a unified entity , which he renamed as the Manchus . By 1636 , his son Hong Taiji began driving Ming forces out of Liaodong and declared a new dynasty , the Qing . In 1644 , peasant rebels led by Li Zicheng conquered the Ming capital , Beijing . Rather than serve them , Ming general Wu Sangui made an alliance with the Manchus and opened the Shanhai Pass to the Banner Armies led by the regent Prince Dorgon , who defeated the rebels and seized the capital . Resistance from the Southern Ming and the Revolt of the Three Feudatories led by Wu Sangui extended the conquest of China proper for nearly four decades and was not completed until 1683 under the Kangxi Emperor ( r . 1661 -- 1722 ) . The Ten Great Campaigns of the Qianlong Emperor from the 1750s to the 1790s extended Qing control into Inner Asia . The early rulers maintained their Manchu ways , and while their title was Emperor , they used `` Bogd khaan '' to the Mongols and they were patrons of Tibetan Buddhism . They governed using Confucian styles and institutions of bureaucratic government and retained the imperial examinations to recruit Han Chinese to work under or in parallel with Manchus . They also adapted the ideals of the tributary system in dealing with neighboring territories . </P> <P> During the Qianlong reign ( 1735 -- 96 ) the dynasty reached its apogee , but then began its initial decline in prosperity and imperial control . The population rose to some 400 millions , but taxes and government revenues were fixed at a low rate , virtually guaranteeing eventual fiscal crisis . Corruption set in , rebels tested government legitimacy , and ruling elites failed to change their mindsets in the face of changes in the world system . Following the Opium War , European powers imposed unequal treaties , free trade , extraterritoriality and treaty ports under foreign control . The Taiping Rebellion ( 1850 -- 64 ) and the Dungan Revolt ( 1862 -- 77 ) in Central Asia led to the deaths of some 20 million people , most of them due to famines caused by war . In spite of these disasters , in the Tongzhi Restoration of the 1860s , Han Chinese elites rallied to the defense of the Confucian order and the Qing rulers . The initial gains in the Self - Strengthening Movement were destroyed in the First Sino - Japanese War of 1895 , in which the Qing lost its influence over Korea and the possession of Taiwan . New Armies were organized , but the ambitious Hundred Days ' Reform of 1898 was turned back in a coup by Empress Dowager Cixi , a conservative leader . When

Empiricism - wikipedia <H1> Empiricism </H1> Jump to : navigation , search This article is about the field of philosophy . For the album by Borknagar , see Empiricism ( album ) . John Locke ( 1632 -- 1704 ) , a leading philosopher of British empiricism <P> Empiricism is a theory that states that knowledge comes only or primarily from sensory experience . It is one of several views of epistemology , the study of human knowledge , along with rationalism and skepticism . Empiricism emphasizes the role of empirical evidence in the formation of ideas , over the idea of innate ideas or traditions ; empiricists may argue however that traditions ( or customs ) arise due to relations of previous sense experiences . </P> <P> Empiricism in the philosophy of science emphasizes evidence , especially as discovered in experiments . It is a fundamental part of the scientific method that all hypotheses and theories must be tested against observations of the natural world rather than resting solely on a priori reasoning , intuition , or revelation . </P> <P> Empiricism , often used by natural scientists , says that `` knowledge is based on experience '' and that `` knowledge is tentative and probabilistic , subject to continued revision and falsification . '' One of the epistemological tenets is that sensory experience creates knowledge . Empirical research , including experiments and validated measurement tools , guides the scientific method . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Etymology </Li> <Li> 2 History <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Background </Li> <Li> 2.2 Early empiricism </Li> <Li> 2.3 Renaissance Italy </Li> <Li> 2.4 British empiricism </Li> <Li> 2.5 Phenomenalism </Li> <Li> 2.6 Logical empiricism </Li> <Li> 2.7 Pragmatism </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 Endnotes </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Etymology ( edit ) </H2> <P> The English term empirical derives from the Ancient Greek word ἐμπειρία , empeiria , which is cognate with and translates to the Latin experientia , from which are derived the word experience and the related experiment . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Background ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Empirical method <P> A central concept in science and the scientific method is that it must be empirically based on the evidence of the senses . Both natural and social sciences use working hypotheses that are testable by observation and experiment . The term semi-empirical is sometimes used to describe theoretical methods that make use of basic axioms , established scientific laws , and previous experimental results in order to engage in reasoned model building and theoretical inquiry . </P> <P> Philosophical empiricists hold no knowledge to be properly inferred or deduced unless it is derived from one 's sense - based experience . This view is commonly contrasted with rationalism , which states that knowledge may be derived from reason independently of the senses . For example , John Locke held that some knowledge ( e.g. knowledge of God 's existence ) could be arrived at through intuition and reasoning alone . Similarly Robert Boyle , a prominent advocate of the experimental method , held that we have innate ideas . The main continental rationalists ( Descartes , Spinoza , and Leibniz ) were also advocates of the empirical `` scientific method '' . </P> <H3> Early empiricism ( edit ) </H3> <P> Vaisheshika darsana , founded by the ancient Indian philosopher Kanada , accepted perception and inference as the only two reliable sources of knowledge . This is enumerated in his work Vaiśeṣika Sūtra . </P> <P> The earliest Western proto - empiricists were the Empiric school of ancient Greek medical practitioners , who rejected the three doctrines of the Dogmatic school , preferring to rely on the observation of `` phenomena '' . </P> <P> The notion of tabula rasa ( `` clean slate '' or `` blank tablet '' ) connotes a view of mind as an originally blank or empty recorder ( Locke used the words `` white paper '' ) on which experience leaves marks . This denies that humans have innate ideas . The image dates back to Aristotle : </P> <P> What the mind ( nous ) thinks must be in it in the same sense as letters are on a tablet ( grammateion ) which bears no actual writing ( grammenon ) ; this is just what happens in the case of the mind . ( Aristotle , On the Soul , 3.4. 430 1 ) . </P> <P> Aristotle 's explanation of how this was possible was not strictly empiricist in a modern sense , but rather based on his theory of potentiality and actuality , and experience of sense perceptions still requires the help of the active nous . These notions contrasted with Platonic notions of the human mind as an entity that pre-existed somewhere in the heavens , before being sent down to join a body on Earth ( see Plato 's Phaedo and Apology , as well as others ) . Aristotle was considered to give a more important position to sense perception than Plato , and commentators in the Middle Ages summarized one of his positions as `` nihil in intellectu nisi prius fuerit in sensu '' ( Latin for `` nothing in the intellect without first being in the senses '' ) . </P> <P> This idea was later developed in ancient philosophy by the Stoic school . Stoic epistemology generally emphasized that the mind starts blank , but acquires knowledge as the outside world is impressed upon it . The doxographer Aetius summarizes this view as `` When a man is born , the Stoics say , he has the commanding part of his soul like a sheet of paper ready for writing upon . '' </P> A drawing of Ibn Sina ( Avicenna ) from 1271 <P> During the Middle Ages Aristotle 's theory of tabula rasa was developed by Islamic philosophers starting with Al Farabi , developing into an elaborate

</P> </Li> <Li> <P> The finished blade </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Historical image , from a 1945 wheat harvest , showing a very long blade being honed on the job . Setting up the burr . </P> </Li> <Li> <P> Removing the burr on the outside face , ready to mow again . </P> </Li> </Ul> <P> Unlike the European blades , typical American style blades are made of harder , more brittle steel and are not usually peened , or can not be peened at all , without cracking . The harder blade holds an edge longer and requires less frequent honing in the field but after heavy use or damage the edge must be reshaped by grinding , which subtracts metal , rather than reforming the more malleable edge by peening . Some examples have a laminated construction with a hard , brittle , core providing the edge and softer sides providing strength . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> German peasant with scythe from 850 AD <P> The scythe may have dated back as far as c. 500 BC , and seems to have been used in Ancient Rome , but became more common in Europe with agricultural developments during the Carolingian era ( 8th century AD ) . Initially used mostly for mowing hay , it had replaced the sickle for reaping crops by the 16th century as the scythe was better ergonomically and consequently more efficient . In about 1800 the grain cradle , was sometimes added to the standard scythe when mowing grain ; the cradle was an addition of light wooden fingers above the scythe blade which kept the grain stems aligned and the heads together to make the collection and threshing easier . In the developed world the scythe has largely been replaced by the motorised lawn mower and combine harvester . However , the scythe remained in common use for many years after the introduction of machines because a side - mounted finger - bar mower , whether horse or tractor drawn , could not mow in front of itself and scythes were still needed to open up a meadow by clearing the first swathe to give the mechanical mower room to start . </P> <P> The Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities of Sir William Smith claims that the scythe , known in Latin as the falx foenaria as opposed to the sickle , the falx messoria , was used by the ancient Romans. According to ancient Greek mythology it was believed that Gaea the Greek goddess mother of Titans gave ' a sickle was made out of the strongest metal ' to her youngest son ' Kronos ' who is also youngest of Titans ( also known as God of Harvest ) to seek vengeance against her Husband Ouranos for Torturing their oldest sons . To illustrate this , Smith cites an image of Saturn holding a scythe , from an ancient Italian cameo . The Grim Reaper and the Greek Titan Cronus were often depicted carrying or wielding a scythe . According to Jack Herer and `` Flesh of The Gods '' ( Emboden , W.A. , Jr. , Praeger Press , NY , 1974 . ) ; the ancient Scythians grew hemp and harvested it with a hand reaper that we still call a scythe . </P> <P> The Abbeydale Industrial Hamlet in Sheffield , England is a museum of a scythe - making works that was in operation from the end of the 18th century until the 1930s . This was part of the former scythe - making district of north Derbyshire , which extended into Eckington . Other English scythe - making districts include that around Belbroughton . </P> <P> The German Renaissance scythe sword , the Greek and Roman harpe and the Egyptian khopesh were scythes or sickles modified as weapons or symbols of authority . An improvised conversion of the agricultural scythe to a war scythe by re-attaching the blade parallel to the snaith , similar to a bill has also been used throughout history as a weapon . See Scythes in art below for an example . </P> <H2> In national cultures ( edit ) </H2> The under - side of the blade normally facing the ground , note that it is convex across it width while the top side is concave or cupped . This snaith has been steam - bent to place the handles in the correct position for the mower without the need to offset them . The diagonal tension brace is atypical . <P> The scythe is still an indispensable tool for farmers in developing countries and in mountainous terrain . </P> <P> In Romania , for example , in the highland landscape of the Transylvanian Apuseni mountains , scything is a very important annual activity , taking about 2 -- 3 weeks to complete for a regular house . As scything is a tiring physical activity and is relatively difficult to learn , farmers help each other by forming teams . After each day 's harvest , the farmers often celebrate by having a small feast where they dance , drink and eat , while being careful to keep in shape for the next day 's hard work . In other parts of the Balkans , such as in Serbian towns , scything competitions are held where the winner takes away a small silver scythe . In small Serbian towns , scything is treasured as part of the local folklore , and the winners of friendly competitions are rewarded richly with food and drink , which they share with their competitors . </P> <P> Among Basques scythe - mowing competitions are still a popular traditional sport , called segalaritza ( from Spanish verb segar : to mow ) . Each contender competes to cut a defined section of grown grass before his rival does the same . </P> <P> There is an international scything competition held at Goricko where people from Austria , Hungary , Serbia and Romania , or as far away as Asia appear to showcase their culturally

It made number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts . Singer and actress Bette Midler recorded the song 14 years later and had a Top 40 hit with her version in 1980 . In 1991 , Michael Bolton recorded the song and his version peaked at number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 chart and the Billboard Adult Contemporary Singles chart . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Percy Sledge version <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Background </Li> <Li> 1.2 Reception </Li> <Li> 1.3 Writing dispute </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Michael Bolton version <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Background </Li> <Li> 2.2 Chart performance <Ul> <Li> 2.2. 1 Weekly charts </Li> <Li> 2.2. 2 Year - end charts </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Other versions </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Percy Sledge version ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Background ( edit ) </H3> <P> The song was initially recorded by Percy Sledge at Rick Hall 's FAME Studios at Muscle Shoals , before being re-recorded at the nearby Norala Studios owned by Quin Ivy . The sidemen for the recording included Spooner Oldham , Farfisa organ ; Marlin Greene , guitar ; Albert `` Junior '' Lowe , double bass and Roger Hawkins , drums . Andrew Wright and Calvin Lewis did not play on the record . Rick Hall arranged a distribution deal with Atlantic Records , but Jerry Wexler asked that the song be re-recorded because the horns were out of tune . According to musician David Hood , `` They went back in the studio and changed the horns , got different horn players to play on it . But then the tapes got mixed up and Atlantic put out their original version . So that 's the hit . '' </P> <H3> Reception ( edit ) </H3> <P> Released by Atlantic Records in April 1966 , Sledge 's recording reached number one on both the Billboard Hot 100 and R&B singles charts , becoming the first number 1 hit recorded in Muscle Shoals . It is also one of seven number 1 hits to debut on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 100 . The single was also a top ten hit in the UK reaching number four on its initial release and ultimately peaking at number two in 1987 on the UK Singles Chart after it was featured in a Levi 's Jeans commercial . The Percy Sledge version is listed 53rd in Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Songs of All Time . Also in 1987 , it was reissued in the US to promote the soundtrack album for Oliver Stone 's film Platoon . </P> <H3> Writing dispute ( edit ) </H3> <P> The precise authorship of the song has been disputed . Calvin Lewis and Andrew Wright were members of the Esquires , a band in Sheffield , Alabama fronted by singer Percy Sledge . According to Wright , `` We were set to play a Friday night dance , and we were practicing ... I was messing around on the organ when this riff came up out of nowhere . There was no one in the club but us . I told Calvin to go home and write some words . '' The next night , they rehearsed the emerging song with Sledge , changed it around , and soon afterwards auditioned the song for local businessman and radio DJ Quin Ivy . He liked the song , but suggested that some of the words be changed to give a more positive message . Wright said that `` we kept some of the phrases , worked on it for several weeks , and spent quite a bit of time in the studio . '' </P> <P> Although the writing of the song is credited to Lewis and Wright , Sledge later claimed that he should have received a co-writing credit . In one story , Sledge said that one night he was upset over a broken relationship ,

' membrane ' , adjectival : meningeal / məˈnɪndʒəl / ) are the three membranes that envelop the brain and spinal cord . In mammals , the meninges are the dura mater , the arachnoid mater , and the pia mater . Cerebrospinal fluid is located in the subarachnoid space between the arachnoid mater and the pia mater . The primary function of the meninges is to protect the central nervous system . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Structure <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Dura mater </Li> <Li> 1.2 Arachnoid mater </Li> <Li> 1.3 Pia mater </Li> <Li> 1.4 Leptomeninges </Li> <Li> 1.5 Spaces </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Clinical significance </Li> <Li> 3 Other animals </Li> <Li> 4 Additional images </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Structure ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Dura mater ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Dura mater <P> The dura mater ( Latin : tough mother ) ( also rarely called meninx fibrosa or pachymeninx ) is a thick , durable membrane , closest to the skull and vertebrae . The dura mater , the outermost part , is a loosely arranged , fibroelastic layer of cells , characterized by multiple interdigitating cell processes , no extracellular collagen , and significant extracellular spaces . The middle region is a mostly fibrous portion . It consists of two layers : the endosteal layer , which lies closest to the calvaria ( skullcap ) , and the inner meningeal layer , which lies closer to the brain . It contains larger blood vessels that split into the capillaries in the pia mater . It is composed of dense fibrous tissue , and its inner surface is covered by flattened cells like those present on the surfaces of the pia mater and arachnoid mater . The dura mater is a sac that envelops the arachnoid mater and surrounds and supports the large dural sinuses carrying blood from the brain toward the heart . </P> <P> The dura has four areas of infolding : </P> <Ul> <Li> Falx cerebri , the largest , sickle - shaped ; separates the cerebral hemispheres . Starts from the frontal crest of frontal bone and the crista galli running to the internal occipital protuberance . </Li> <Li> Tentorium cerebelli , the second largest , crescent - shaped ; separates the occipital lobes from cerebellum . The falx cerebri attaches to it giving a tentlike appearance . </Li> <Li> Falx cerebelli , vertical infolding ; lies inferior to the tentorium cerebelli , separating the cerebellar hemispheres . </Li> <Li> Diaphragma sellae , smallest infolding ; covers the pituitary gland and sella turcica . </Li> </Ul> <H3> Arachnoid mater ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Arachnoid mater <P> The middle element of the meninges is the arachnoid mater , so named because of its spider web - like appearance . It cushions the central nervous system . This thin , transparent membrane is composed of fibrous tissue and , like the pia mater , is covered by flat cells also thought to be impermeable to fluid . </P> <P> The shape of the arachnoid does not follow the convolutions of the surface of the brain and so looks like a loosely fitting sac . In particular , in the region of the brain a large number of fine filaments called arachnoid trabeculae pass from the arachnoid through the subarachnoid space to blend with the tissue of the pia mater . The arachnoid is composed of an outermost portion ( arachnoid barrier cell layer ) with tightly packed cells and no extracellular collagen ; that is why it is considered to represent an effective morphological and physiological meningeal barrier between the cerebrospinal fluid and subarachnoid space and the blood circulation in the dura . </P> <P> The arachnoid barrier layer is characterized by a distinct continuous basal lamina on its inner surface toward the innermost collagenous portion of the arachnoid reticular layer . </P> <H3> Pia mater ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Pia mater <P> The pia mater ( Latin : tender mother ) is a very delicate membrane .

-- dubbed `` fission '' as a reference to biology -- involved a complete rupture of the nucleus . Numerous scientists , including Leó Szilárd , who was one of the first , recognized that if fission reactions released additional neutrons , a self - sustaining nuclear chain reaction could result . Once this was experimentally confirmed and announced by Frédéric Joliot - Curie in 1939 , scientists in many countries ( including the United States , the United Kingdom , France , Germany , and the Soviet Union ) petitioned their governments for support of nuclear fission research , just on the cusp of World War II , for the development of a nuclear weapon . </P> First nuclear reactor <P> In the United States , where Fermi and Szilárd had both emigrated , this led to the creation of the first man - made reactor , known as Chicago Pile - 1 , which achieved criticality on December 2 , 1942 . This work became part of the Manhattan Project , a massive secret US government military project to make enriched uranium by building large reactors to breed plutonium for use in the first nuclear weapons . The US tested atom bombs and eventually these weapons were used to attack the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki . </P> The first light bulbs ever lit by electricity generated by nuclear power at EBR - 1 at Argonne National Laboratory - West , December 20 , 1951 . <P> In 1945 , the first widely distributed account of nuclear energy , in the form of the pocketbook The Atomic Age , discussed the peaceful future uses of nuclear energy and depicted a future where fossil fuels would go unused . Nobel laurette Glenn Seaborg , who later chaired the Atomic Energy Commission , is quoted as saying `` there will be nuclear powered earth - to - moon shuttles , nuclear powered artificial hearts , plutonium heated swimming pools for SCUBA divers , and much more '' . </P> <P> The United Kingdom , Canada , and the USSR proceeded to research and develop nuclear industries over the course of the late 1940s and early 1950s . Electricity was generated for the first time by a nuclear reactor on December 20 , 1951 , at the EBR - I experimental station near Arco , Idaho , which initially produced about 100 kW . Work was also strongly researched in the US on nuclear marine propulsion , with a test reactor being developed by 1953 ( eventually , the USS Nautilus , the first nuclear - powered submarine , would launch in 1955 ) . In 1953 , US President Dwight Eisenhower gave his `` Atoms for Peace '' speech at the United Nations , emphasizing the need to develop `` peaceful '' uses of nuclear power quickly . This was followed by the 1954 Amendments to the Atomic Energy Act which allowed rapid declassification of US reactor technology and encouraged development by the private sector . </P> <H3> Early years </H3> <P> On June 27 , 1954 , the USSR 's Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant became the world 's first nuclear power plant to generate electricity for a power grid , and produced around 5 megawatts of electric power . </P> <P> Later in 1954 , Lewis Strauss , then chairman of the United States Atomic Energy Commission ( U.S. AEC , forerunner of the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the United States Department of Energy ) spoke of electricity in the future being `` too cheap to meter '' . Strauss was very likely referring to hydrogen fusion -- which was secretly being developed as part of Project Sherwood at the time -- but Strauss 's statement was interpreted as a promise of very cheap energy from nuclear fission . The U.S. AEC itself had issued far more realistic testimony regarding nuclear fission to the U.S. Congress only months before , projecting that `` costs can be brought down ... ( to ) ... about the same as the cost of electricity from conventional sources ... '' </P> <P> In 1955 the United Nations ' `` First Geneva Conference '' , then the world 's largest gathering of scientists and engineers , met to explore the technology . In 1957 EURATOM was launched alongside the European Economic Community ( the latter is now the European Union ) . The same year also saw the launch of the International Atomic Energy Agency ( IAEA ) . </P> Calder Hall , United Kingdom -- The world 's first commercial nuclear power station . First connected to the national power grid on 27 August 1956 and officially opened by Queen Elizabeth II on 17 October 1956 The Shippingport Atomic Power Station in Shippingport , Pennsylvania was the first commercial reactor in the United States and was opened in 1957 . <P> The world 's first commercial nuclear power station , Calder Hall at Windscale , England , was opened in 1956 with an initial capacity of 50 MW ( later 200 MW ) . The first commercial nuclear generator to become operational in the United States was the Shippingport Reactor ( Pennsylvania , December 1957 ) . </P> <P> One of the first organizations to develop nuclear power was the U.S. Navy , for the purpose of propelling submarines and aircraft carriers . The first nuclear - powered submarine , USS Nautilus , was put to sea in December 1954 . As of 2016 , the U.S. Navy submarine fleet is made up entirely of nuclear - powered vessels , with 75 submarines in service . Two U.S. nuclear submarines , USS Scorpion and USS Thresher , have been lost at sea . The Russian Navy is currently ( 2016 ) estimated to have 61 nuclear submarines in service ; eight Soviet and Russian nuclear submarines have been lost at sea . This includes the Soviet submarine K - 19 reactor accident in 1961 which resulted in 8 deaths and more than 30 other people were over-exposed to radiation . The Soviet submarine K - 27

socialist factions : the communists and the reformist left . The distance between these two , at least at the ideological level , became so great that the communists often referred to the social democrats as `` the social fascists '' . Apart from a period termed `` the vacation government '' ( Sw : semesterregeringen ) between June 19 and September 28 , 1936 , Per Albin Hansson was to be the Prime Minister of Sweden until his death in 1946 . </P> <H3> Military ( edit ) </H3> <P> Sweden had very few tanks in the inter-war era . For a time , the entire armoured corps consisted of ten Stridsvagn mf / 21s . This was a design based upon a German First World War tank and had been secretly purchased by Sweden in the form of tractor assembly kits . </P> <P> In the 1936 `` Defence resolution '' ( Försvarsbeslut ; a Swedish governmental decision made about every five years , concerning the military 's organization and development ) , it was decided to form two tank battalions . Fale Burman , chief of `` Army Procurement '' ( Arméns utrustningsdetalj ) in 1937 , commented : </P> <P> ... Härför krävdes total nyanskaffning av deras viktigaste innehåll , stridsvagnarna . Redan på ett tidigt stadium fick vi dock klart för oss att om vi enbart valde kanonutrustade vagnar skulle de högst komma upp till ett antal av 15 - 20 . ( This required the purchase of their main piece of military hardware , tanks . Already at an early stage , it was clear to us that if we simply chose the cannon - equipped tanks , we could have at most 15 -- 20 of them . ) </P> -- Försvarsbeslut <P> To make sure training at the battalion level would be possible , machine gun - equipped tanks were purchased as well . By 1939 , Sweden had 48 Czechoslovakian - built tanks with machine gun armament and about 20 Stridsvagn L - 60 tanks armed with a 20mm main gun . </P> <P> The Swedish army had been organized into four divisions since the 1890s , with the regiments of northern Norrland and Gotland standing as separate units . This was outdated , and in 1942 , a new military organization was adopted . </P> <H3> Pre-war trade ( edit ) </H3> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs expansion . You can help by adding to it . ( June 2009 ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> During World War II , Swedish industry had to supply an increased share of its own domestic goods owing to the British blockade of the North Sea , whilst satisfying the vastly increased demand for armaments . Before the war , the annual production of armaments was typically measured in tens of millions of Swedish kronor , but during the war , output exceeded SEK 1 billion ( US $240 million ) . </P> <H3> Military balance ( edit ) </H3> <P> Sweden 's long - standing policy of neutrality was tested on many occasions during the 1930s . The challenges came from a strongly rejuvenated , nationalistic Germany . From 1919 until 1935 , Sweden had been an active supporter of the League of Nations and most of Sweden 's political energy in the international arena had been directed towards the preservation of the League of Nations . </P> <P> The Swedish non-aligned policy during this period was founded on the assumption that there were two opposing powers in the Baltic , Germany and the Soviet Union ; Because these two powers needed to guard against each other , the hope was that they would only ever be able to deploy minor forces against Sweden or other non-aligned countries . It was this expectation which made the defence of a small country feasible . The Molotov - Ribbentrop Pact , signed at the end of August 1939 between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union , upset this balance . </P> <H3> Pre-war preparations ( edit ) </H3> <P> In 1936 , the Swedish government started to heighten its military preparedness as the international situation worsened . Military spending in Sweden went from US $37 million in 1936 , to $50 million in 1937 , to $58.6 million in 1938 , and then increased over fivefold to $322.3 million in 1939 . During World War II itself , military spending peaked at $527.6 million in 1942 . </P> <P> Not only was the Swedish government buying material to strengthen its defenses , it began drafting conscripts . On May 6 , 1938 , the government called up all those aged 15 for short periods of training . In addition to this , the Swedish Cabinet ordered that one quarter of those conscripted in 1938 should be retained for further training . </P> <P> In 1940 , the Swedish Home Guard ( Hemvärnet ) was created . Its units were small groups of former soldiers who were equipped with rifles , machine guns , ammunition , medicine and uniforms . They had the option to buy additional materials such as skis , sweaters and marching boots . The Lottorna ( Swedish Women 's Voluntary Defense Service ) had already been in existence since 1924 . </P> <P> While arming itself , Sweden felt that it was necessary to articulate and enforce its policy of neutrality . Per Albin Hansson stated shortly before World War II began : </P> <P> Friendly with all other nations and strongly linked to our neighbors , we look on no one as our enemy . There is no place in the thoughts of our people for aggression against any other country , and we note with gratitude , the assurances from others that they have no wish to disturb our peace , our freedom , or our independence . The strengthening of our defense preparations serves merely to underline our fixed determination to keep our country outside the conflicts that may erupt amongst others and , during such conflicts , to safeguard

Daylight saving time in the United states - Wikipedia <H1> Daylight saving time in the United states </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Ohio Clock in the U.S. Capitol being turned forward for the country 's first daylight saving time in 1918 <P> Daylight saving time in the United States is the practice of setting the clock forward by one hour during the warmer part of the year , so that evenings have more daylight and mornings have less . Most areas of the United States observe daylight saving time ( DST ) , the exceptions being Arizona ( except for the Navajo , who do observe daylight saving time on tribal lands ) , Hawaii , and the overseas territories of American Samoa , Guam , the Northern Mariana Islands , Puerto Rico , and the United States Virgin Islands . The Uniform Time Act of 1966 established the system of uniform Daylight Saving Time throughout the US . </P> <P> In the U.S. , daylight saving time starts on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November , with the time changes taking place at 2 : 00 a.m. local time . With a mnemonic word play referring to seasons , clocks `` spring forward , fall back '' -- that is , in springtime the clocks are moved forward from 2 : 00 a.m. to 3 : 00 a.m. and in fall they are moved back from 2 : 00 a.m. to 1 : 00 a.m. Daylight saving time lasts for a total of 34 weeks ( 238 days ) every year , about 65 % of the entire year . </P> <P> The following table lists recent past and near future starting and ending dates of daylight saving time in the United States : </P> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Start </Th> <Th> End </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2015 </Td> <Td> March 8 </Td> <Td> November 1 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2016 </Td> <Td> March 13 </Td> <Td> November 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2017 </Td> <Td> March 12 </Td> <Td> November 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2018 </Td> <Td> March 11 </Td> <Td> November 4 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2019 </Td> <Td> March 10 </Td> <Td> November 3 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2020 </Td> <Td> March 8 </Td> <Td> November 1 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2021 </Td> <Td> March 14 </Td> <Td> November 7 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2022 </Td> <Td> March 13 </Td> <Td> November 6 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2023 </Td> <Td> March 12 </Td> <Td> November 5 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 2024 </Td> <Td> March 10 </Td> <Td> November 3 </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History of DST in the United States <Ul> <Li> 1.1 1916 -- 1966 : Early , inconsistent use </Li> <Li> 1.2 1966 -- 1972 : Federal standard established </Li> <Li> 1.3 1973 -- 1975 : Year - round experiment </Li> <Li> 1.4 1975 -- 1986 : Extension of daylight saving time </Li> <Li> 1.5 2005 -- 2009 : Second extension </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Procedure for modifications <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Changing an area 's time zone </Li> <Li> 2.2 Moving an area on or off DST </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Local DST observance <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Alaska </Li> <Li> 3.2 Arizona <Ul> <Li> 3.2. 1 Reservations in Arizona </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3.3 California </Li> <Li> 3.4 Florida </Li> <Li> 3.5 Hawaii </Li> <Li> 3.6 Indiana </Li> <Li> 3.7 Michigan </Li> <Li> 3.8 Nevada </Li> <Li> 3.9 Washington </Li> <Li> 3.10 Other U.S. locations </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Time zones </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History of DST in the United states ( edit ) </H2> <P> Benjamin Franklin proposed a form of daylight time in 1784 . His essay , `` An Economical Project for Diminishing the Cost of Light '' , written to the editor of The Journal of Paris , observed that Parisians could save on candles by getting out of bed earlier in the morning , making use of the natural morning light instead . Franklin 's suggestion seems to have been more of a joke than a real proposal , and nothing came of it . </P> <H3> 1916 -- 1966 : early , inconsistent use ( edit ) </H3> <P> During World War I , in an effort to conserve fuel , Germany began observing DST on May 1 , 1916 . The rest of Europe soon followed . The plan was not adopted in the United States until the Standard Time Act of March 19 , 1918 , which confirmed the existing standard time zone system and set summer DST to begin on March 31 , 1918 ( reverting October 27 ) . The idea was unpopular and Congress abolished DST after the war , overriding President Woodrow Wilson 's veto . DST became a local option and was observed in some states until World War II , when President Franklin Roosevelt instituted year - round DST , called `` War Time '' , on February 9 , 1942 . It lasted until the last Sunday ( the 30th ) in September 1945 . After 1945 many states and cities east of the Mississippi River ( and mostly north of the Ohio and Potomac rivers ) adopted summer DST . </P> <P> From 1945 to 1966 there was no federal law on daylight saving time , so localities could choose when it began and ended or drop it entirely . As of 1954 , only California and Nevada had statewide DST west of the Mississippi , and only a few cities between Nevada and St. Louis . In the 1964 Official Railway Guide , 21 of the 48 contiguous states had no DST anywhere . </P> <H3> 1966 -- 1972 : federal standard established ( edit ) </H3> <P> By 1962 , the transportation industry found the lack of consistency confusing enough to push for federal regulation .

They are responsible for color vision and function best in relatively bright light , as opposed to rod cells , which work better in dim light . Cone cells are densely packed in the fovea centralis , a 0.3 mm diameter rod - free area with very thin , densely packed cones which quickly reduce in number towards the periphery of the retina . There are about six to seven million cones in a human eye and are most concentrated towards the macula . The commonly cited figure of six million cone cells in the human eye was found by Osterberg in 1935 . Oyster 's textbook ( 1999 ) cites work by Curcio et al. ( 1990 ) indicating an average close to 4.5 million cone cells and 90 million rod cells in the human retina . </P> <P> Cones are less sensitive to light than the rod cells in the retina ( which support vision at low light levels ) , but allow the perception of colour . They are also able to perceive finer detail and more rapid changes in images , because their response times to stimuli are faster than those of rods . Cones are normally one of the three types , each with different pigment , namely : S - cones , M - cones and L - cones . Each cone is therefore sensitive to visible wavelengths of light that correspond to short - wavelength , medium - wavelength and long - wavelength light . Because humans usually have three kinds of cones with different photopsins , which have different response curves and thus respond to variation in colour in different ways , we have trichromatic vision . Being colour blind can change this , and there have been some verified reports of people with four or more types of cones , giving them tetrachromatic vision . The three pigments responsible for detecting light have been shown to vary in their exact chemical composition due to genetic mutation ; different individuals will have cones with different color sensitivity . Destruction of the cone cells from disease would result in color blindness . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Types </Li> <Li> 2 Structure </Li> <Li> 3 Diseases </Li> <Li> 4 Color afterimage </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Types ( edit ) </H2> <P> Humans normally have three types of cones . The first responds the most to light of long wavelengths , peaking at about 560 nm ; this type is sometimes designated L for long . The second type responds the most to light of medium - wavelength , peaking at 530 nm , and is abbreviated M for medium . The third type responds the most to short - wavelength light , peaking at 420 nm , and is designated S for short . The three types have peak wavelengths near 564 -- 580 nm , 534 -- 545 nm , and 420 -- 440 nm , respectively , depending on the individual . The difference in the signals received from the three cone types allows the brain to perceive a continuous range of colours , through the opponent process of colour vision . ( Rod cells have a peak sensitivity at 498 nm , roughly halfway between the peak sensitivities of the S and M cones . ) </P> <P> All of the receptors contain the protein photopsin , with variations in its conformation causing differences in the optimum wavelengths absorbed . </P> <P> The colour yellow , for example , is perceived when the L cones are stimulated slightly more than the M cones , and the colour red is perceived when the L cones are stimulated significantly more than the M cones . Similarly , blue and violet hues are perceived when the S receptor is stimulated more . Cones are most sensitive to light at wavelengths around 420 nm . However , the lens and cornea of the human eye are increasingly absorptive to shorter wavelengths , and this sets the short wavelength limit of human - visible light to approximately 380 nm , which is therefore called ' ultraviolet ' light . People with aphakia , a condition where the eye lacks a lens , sometimes report the ability to see into the ultraviolet range . At moderate to bright light levels where the cones function , the eye is more sensitive to yellowish - green light than other colors because this stimulates the two most common ( M and L ) of the three kinds of cones almost equally . At lower light levels , where only the rod cells function , the sensitivity is greatest at a blueish - green wavelength . </P> <P> Cones also tend to possess a significantly elevated visual acuity because each cone cell has a lone connection to the optic nerve , therefore , the cones have an easier time telling that two stimuli are isolated . Separate connectivity is established in the inner plexiform layer so that each connection is parallel . </P> <P> While it has been discovered that there exists a mixed type of bipolar cells that bind to both rod and cone cells , bipolar cells

Power had been restored to 980,000 people , when Hurricane Maria struck , leaving nearly the entire island without power . Two weeks later , power had been restored to about 10 % of customers. Full restoration was expected to take months , and many Puerto Ricans bought private generators . </P> <H2> Structure ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Board of directors ( edit ) </H3> <P> The board of directors is the governing body of the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority . Its membership usually consists of private citizens who are supposed to represent the public interest and may or may not include exofficio political officeholders ( typically the Secretary of Economic Development and Commerce ) . This inconsistency happens as the board 's structure changes whenever a political party gains power , usually every four or eight years . When both the governor and the legislature of Puerto Rico belong to the same party , one of the earliest laws amended by the legislature is the one governing PREPA in order to change its board 's composition . Once a new board is settled in , one of its first resolutions is to appoint a new executive director . These frequent changes effectively make the authority a partisan tool rather than a mere electric utility and , consequently , change the vision , strategy , and plans of the authority every four or eight years according to the political party in power . </P> <P> Of the different members of the board , the governor is usually required to appoint four members with the advice and consent of the Senate . It is through these members , along with the incumbent political officeholders which serve as ex officio , thus the governor and the political party in power effectively control the authority .

The Records is an important document of Central Asia during the early seventh century , as it provides information of a Buddhist culture existing in Afghanistan during that time and the earliest textual evidence for Buddhist sculptures at Bamiyan . The text also has equal importance in the studies of India , and archaeologists have been using it to fill in certain gaps in Indian history . The book is known for having `` exact descriptions of distances and locations of different places '' , and has served as a guidebook for the excavation of many important sites , such as Rajagrha , the Temple at Sarnath , Ajanta , the ruins of the Nalanda Monastery in Bihar and the ruins of Vasu Bihar of ancient Pundra City .

El Pollo Loco - Wikipedia <H1> El Pollo Loco </H1> Jump to : navigation , search <P> El Pollo Loco is the name of two independent restaurant chains that are controlled by different companies , El Pollo Loco , Inc. and El Pollo Loco , S.A. de C.V. Both companies specialize in Mexican - style grilled chicken and were founded by Juan Francisco Ochoa . Ochoa established the first El Pollo Loco restaurant in Guasave , Sinaloa , Mexico , in the mid-1970s , and then expanded his chain into the United States in 1980 . Ochoa then sold his U.S. restaurants in 1983 , which became El Pollo Loco , Inc. , while keeping the ones in Mexico , which became El Pollo Loco , S.A. de C.V.

Restaurant service consists of : dine - in , take - out , with some locations offering drive through options . The company is headquartered in Costa Mesa , California and operates over 400 ( as of March 2014 ) company - owned and franchised restaurants in the Southwestern United States . `` El Pollo Loco '' is Spanish for `` The Crazy Chicken '' . </P> <H3> Fare ( edit ) </H3> A typical El Pollo Loco restaurant <P> El Pollo Loco primarily prepares Mexican chicken entrees .

'' The American company also offer Mexican - style food such as tacos , burritos , enchiladas , and quesadillas . </P> <P> In a bid to compete with companies such as KFC and Chick - fil - A , El Pollo Loco experimented with offering deep fried chicken in the form of breaded chicken tenders at selected locations in the United States for a limited time during the Fall 2016 . This experiment is a big departure from its previous marketing campaigns that tout their fired - grilled chicken as a healthy alternative to fried chicken . </P> <H3> History ( edit ) </H3> <P> Juan Francisco Ochoa started the restaurant in Guasave , Sinaloa , Mexico , in 1975 . </P> <P> By 1979 the chain had expanded throughout northern Mexico .

The first American location was only 1,500 - square - feet and it grossed more than $125,000 per month during its first year of operation . The initial menu was very simple : a choice of a half or whole chicken with a packet of warm tortillas and a cup of salsa . A second location was opened in Santa Ana in the fall of 1981 . </P> <P> In 1983 , the 19 American restaurants in the chain were acquired by Denny 's with an agreement that the Ochoa family would continue to operate the restaurants in Mexico . After 18 months of new ownership , the American owned El Loco Pollo , Inc. had increased the number of locations in Southern California from 19 to 29 while adding 6 locations in distant Houston , Texas , with almost all of the new locations were franchise operations . </P> <P> Four years later the 70 - unit El Pollo Loco was acquired by TW Services when TW Services purchased El Pollo Loco 's then parent Denny 's Inc. in 1987 for $218 million in cash . </P> <P> In May 1990 , El Pollo Loco opened its 200th restaurant . That new restaurant was located in Yorba Linda , California . During the early 1990s the company experimented with many different concepts to increase marketshare in the competitive Southern Californian fast food industry .

It develops from the mesoderm . Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body , including the nervous system . In the central nervous system , the three outer membranes ( the meninges ) that envelop the brain and spinal cord are composed of connective tissue . They support and protect the body . All connective tissue consists of three main components : fibers ( elastic and collagenous fibers ) , ground substance and cells . Not all authorities include blood or lymph as connective tissue because they lack the fiber component . All are immersed in the body water . </P> <P> The cells of connective tissue include fibroblasts , adipocytes , macrophages , mast cells and leucocytes . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Types <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Characteristics </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Function <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Aging </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Clinical significance </Li> <Li> 4 Staining of connective tissue </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 Notes and references </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Types ( edit ) </H2> <P> Connective tissue can be broadly subdivided into connective tissue proper , and special connective tissue . Connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue ( which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues . ) Loose and dense connective tissue are distinguished by the ratio of ground substance to fibrous tissue . Loose connective tissue has much more ground substance and a relative lack of fibrous tissue , while the reverse is true of dense connective tissue . Dense regular connective tissue , found in structures such as tendons and ligaments , is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion , giving it tensile strength in one direction . Dense irregular connective tissue provides strength in multiple directions by its dense bundles of fibers arranged in all directions . </P> <P> Special connective tissue consists of reticular connective tissue , adipose tissue , cartilage , bone , and blood . Other kinds of connective tissues include fibrous , elastic , and lymphoid connective tissues . New vascularised connective tissue that forms in the process of wound healing is termed granulation tissue . Fibroblasts are the cells responsible for the production of some CT . </P> <P> Type I collagen is present in many forms of connective tissue , and makes up about 25 % of the total protein content of the mammalian body . </P> <H3> Characteristics ( edit ) </H3> <P> Characteristics of CT : </P> <Ul> <Li> Cells are spread through an extracellular fluid . </Li> <Li> Ground substance - A clear , colorless , and viscous fluid containing glycosaminoglycans and proteoglycans to fix the body water and the collagen fibers in the intercellular spaces . Ground substance slows the spread of pathogens . </Li> <Li> Fibers . Not all types of CT are fibrous . Examples of non-fibrous CT include adipose tissue and blood . Adipose tissue gives `` mechanical cushioning '' to the body , among other functions . Although there is no dense collagen network in adipose tissue , groups of adipose cells are kept together by collagen fibers and collagen sheets in order to keep fat tissue under compression in place ( for example , the sole of the foot ) . The matrix of blood is plasma . </Li> <Li> Both the ground substance and proteins ( fibers ) create the matrix for CT .

Loose and dense irregular connective tissue , formed mainly by fibroblasts and collagen fibers , have an important role in providing a medium for oxygen and nutrients to diffuse from capillaries to cells , and carbon dioxide and waste substances to diffuse from cells back into circulation . They also allow organs to resist stretching and tearing forces . Dense regular connective tissue , which forms organized structures , is a major functional component of tendons , ligaments and aponeuroses , and is also found in highly specialized organs such as the cornea . Elastic fibers , made from elastin and fibrillin , also provide resistance to stretch forces . They are found in the walls of large blood vessels and in certain ligaments , particularly in the ligamenta flava . </P> <P> In hematopoietic and lymphatic tissues , reticular fibers made by reticular cells provide the stroma -- or structural support -- for the parenchyma -- or functional part -- of the organ

( March 2017 ) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <H3> United kingdom ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the UK , an April Fool joke is revealed by shouting `` April fool ! '' at the recipient , who becomes the `` April fool '' . A study in the 1950s , by folklorists Iona and Peter Opie , found that in the UK , and in countries whose traditions derived from the UK , the joking ceased at midday . A person playing a joke after midday is the `` April fool '' themselves . </P> <P> In Scotland , April Fools ' Day was traditionally called ' Huntigowk Day ' , although this name has fallen into disuse . The name is a corruption of ' Hunt the Gowk ' , `` gowk '' being Scots for a cuckoo or a foolish person ; alternative terms in Gaelic would be Là na Gocaireachd , ' gowking day ' , or Là Ruith na Cuthaige , ' the day of running the cuckoo ' . The traditional prank is to ask someone to deliver a sealed message that supposedly requests help of some sort . In fact , the message reads `` Dinna laugh , dinna smile . Hunt the gowk another mile . '' The recipient , upon reading it , will explain he can only help if he first contacts another person , and sends the victim to this next person with an identical message , with the same result . </P> <P> In England a `` fool '' is known by different names around the country , including a `` noodle '' , `` gob '' , `` gobby '' or `` noddy '' . </P> <H3> Ireland ( edit ) </H3> <P> In Ireland , it was traditional to entrust the victim with an `` important letter '' to be given to a named person . That person would then ask the victim to take it to someone else , and so on . The letter when finally opened contained the words `` send the fool further '' . </P> <H3> Prima aprilis in Poland ( edit ) </H3> <P> In Poland , prima aprilis ( `` 1 April '' in Latin ) as a day of jokes is a centuries - long tradition . It is a day in which many jokes are told ; various hoaxes -- sometimes very sophisticated -- are prepared by people , media ( which often cooperate to make the `` information '' more credible ) and even public institutions . Serious activities are usually avoided , and generally every word said on April 1st can be a lie , or a joke . The conviction for this is so strong that the Polish anti-Turkish alliance with Leopold I signed on April 1 , 1683 , was backdated to March 31 . However , for some in Poland prima aprilis ends at noon of April 1st , and prima aprilis jokes after that hour are considered inappropriate and not classy . </P> <H3> Nordic countries ( edit ) </H3> <P> Danes , Finns , Icelanders , Norwegians and Swedes celebrate April Fools ' Day ( aprilsnar in Danish ; aprillipäivä in Finnish ) . Most news media outlets will publish exactly one false story on April 1 ; for newspapers this will typically be a first - page article but not the top headline . </P> <H3> April fish ( edit ) </H3> <P> In Italy , France , Belgium , The Netherlands , and French - speaking areas of Switzerland and Canada , April 1 tradition is often known as `` April fish '' ( poissons d'avril in French , aprilvis in Dutch or pesce d'aprile in Italian ) . This includes attempting to attach a paper fish to the victim 's back without being noticed . Such fish feature prominently on many late 19th - to early 20th - century French April Fools ' Day postcards . Many newspapers also spread a false story on April Fools ' Day , and a subtle reference to a fish is sometimes given as a clue . </P> <H3> India ( edit ) </H3> <P> In India , there have been numerous references to April Fools ' Day in both cinema and popular literature and people are jovially associated with the day . However , this is not any intrinsic part of India 's ancient culture . </P> <H3> Lebanon ( edit ) </H3> <P> In Lebanon , an April Fool joke is revealed by shouting `` كذبة ابريل ! '' ( which means `` Aprils fool ! '' ) at the recipient , who becomes the `` April fool '' . </P> <H3> Spanish - speaking countries ( edit ) </H3> <P> In many Spanish - speaking countries ( and the Philippines ) , `` Dia de los Santos Inocentes '' ( Holy Innocents Day ) is celebrated , which is very similar to April Fools . Often , people play pranks on each other , trick others , etc . </P> <H2> Pranks ( edit ) </H2> An April Fools ' Day prank in Boston 's Public Garden warning people not to photograph sculptures . Main article : List of April Fools ' Day jokes <P> As well as people playing pranks on one another on April Fools ' Day , elaborate practical jokes have appeared on radio and TV stations , newspapers , websites , and have been performed by large corporations . In one famous prank from 1957 , the BBC broadcast a film in their Panorama current affairs series purporting to show Swiss farmers picking freshly - grown spaghetti , in what they called the Swiss Spaghetti Harvest . The BBC were later flooded with requests to purchase a spaghetti plant , forcing them to declare the film a hoax on the news the next day . </P> <P> With the advent of the Internet and readily available global news services ,

. The copper may have come from multiple sources and some of it is said to have come from a mine in Visnes , Norway , though this has not been conclusively determined after testing samples . According to Cara Sutherland in her book on the statue for the Museum of the City of New York , 90,800 kilos ( 200,000 pounds ) was needed to build the statue , and the French copper industrialist Eugène Secrétan donated 58,100 kilos ( 128,000 pounds ) of copper . </P> <P> Although plans for the statue had not been finalized , Bartholdi moved forward with fabrication of the right arm , bearing the torch , and the head . Work began at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop . In May 1876 , Bartholdi traveled to the United States as a member of a French delegation to the Centennial Exhibition , and arranged for a huge painting of the statue to be shown in New York as part of the Centennial festivities . The arm did not arrive in Philadelphia until August ; because of its late arrival , it was not listed in the exhibition catalogue , and while some reports correctly identified the work , others called it the `` Colossal Arm '' or `` Bartholdi Electric Light '' . The exhibition grounds contained a number of monumental artworks to compete for fairgoers ' interest , including an outsized fountain designed by Bartholdi . Nevertheless , the arm proved popular in the exhibition 's waning days , and visitors would climb up to the balcony of the torch to view the fairgrounds . After the exhibition closed , the arm was transported to New York , where it remained on display in Madison Square Park for several years before it was returned to France to join the rest of the statue . </P> <P> During his second trip to the United States , Bartholdi addressed a number of groups about the project , and urged the formation of American committees of the Franco - American Union . Committees to raise money to pay for the foundation and pedestal were formed in New York , Boston , and Philadelphia . The New York group eventually took on most of the responsibility for American fundraising and is often referred to as the `` American Committee '' . One of its members was 19 - year - old Theodore Roosevelt , the future governor of New York and president of the United States . On March 3 , 1877 , on his final full day in office , President Grant signed a joint resolution that authorized the President to accept the statue when it was presented by France and to select a site for it . President Rutherford B. Hayes , who took office the following day , selected the Bedloe 's Island site that Bartholdi had proposed . </P> <H3> Construction in France </H3> The statue 's head on exhibit at the Paris World 's Fair , 1878 <P> On his return to Paris in 1877 , Bartholdi concentrated on completing the head , which was exhibited at the 1878 Paris World 's Fair . Fundraising continued , with models of the statue put on sale . Tickets to view the construction activity at the Gaget , Gauthier & Co. workshop were also offered . The French government authorized a lottery ; among the prizes were valuable silver plate and a terracotta model of the statue . By the end of 1879 , about 250,000 francs had been raised . </P> <P> The head and arm had been built with assistance from Viollet - le - Duc , who fell ill in 1879 . He soon died , leaving no indication of how he intended to transition from the copper skin to his proposed masonry pier . The following year , Bartholdi was able to obtain the services of the innovative designer and builder Gustave Eiffel . Eiffel and his structural engineer , Maurice Koechlin , decided to abandon the pier and instead build an iron truss tower . Eiffel opted not to use a completely rigid structure , which would force stresses to accumulate in the skin and lead eventually to cracking . A secondary skeleton was attached to the center pylon , then , to enable the statue to move slightly in the winds of New York Harbor and as the metal expanded on hot summer days , he loosely connected the support structure to the skin using flat iron bars which culminated in a mesh of metal straps , known as `` saddles '' , that were riveted to the skin , providing firm support . In a labor - intensive process , each saddle had to be crafted individually . To prevent galvanic corrosion between the copper skin and the iron support structure , Eiffel insulated the skin with asbestos impregnated with shellac . </P> <P> Eiffel 's design made the statue one of the earliest examples of curtain wall construction , in which the exterior of the structure is not load bearing , but is instead supported by an interior framework . He included two interior spiral staircases , to make it easier for visitors to reach the observation point in the crown . Access to an observation platform surrounding the torch was also provided , but the narrowness of the arm allowed for only a single ladder , 40 feet ( 12 m ) long . As the pylon tower arose , Eiffel and Bartholdi coordinated their work carefully so that completed segments of skin would fit exactly on the support structure . The components of the pylon tower were built in the Eiffel factory in the nearby Parisian suburb of Levallois - Perret . </P> <P> The change in structural material from masonry to iron allowed Bartholdi to change his plans for the statue 's assembly . He had originally expected to assemble the skin on - site as the masonry pier was built ; instead he decided to build the statue in France and have it disassembled

Some of the region 's rivers reach the Pacific Ocean , such as the Columbia River and Colorado River . Other regional rivers and streams are in endorheic basins and can not reach the sea , such as the Walker River and Owens River . These flow into brackish or seasonally dry lakes or desert sinks . Portions of this region include : </P> <Ul> <Li> Basin and Range Province </Li> <Li> Colorado Plateau </Li> <Li> Great Basin </Li> <Li> Intermontane Plateaus </Li> </Ul> <H2> Climate ( edit ) </H2> <P> The climate of the Intermountain Region is affected by location and elevation . The sub-regions are in rain shadows from the Cascade or Sierra Nevada ranges that block precipitation from Pacific storms . The winter weather depends on latitude . In the southern portion , winters are shorter , warmer and have less winter precipitation and snow . In the northern portion , winters are cold and moist . All areas have hot summers . North American Monsoon storms can occur in the region during the mid-summer , coming northeast from the Pacific Ocean and Mexican Plateau . </P> <H2> Natural history ( edit ) </H2> <P> The flora at lower elevations includes deserts and xeric shrublands and temperate grasslands and shrublands biome vegetation . Higher elevation montane habitats include temperate coniferous forests biome vegetation , including groves and forests of various species of pine , cedar , juniper , aspen , and other trees , and understory shrubs , and perennials .

Cattle ranching is practiced in the region as well . Cultivated crops include corn , potatoes , sugar beets , grass hay , and alfalfa , the latter two crops are used for livestock feed . </P> <H2> Demographics and sociology ( edit ) </H2> <P> For thousands of years the Intermountain West has been the homeland for many Native American cultures , tribes , and bands . The 18th - century fur trade ( northern areas ) , and 19th - century westward expansion of the United States brought irreversible cultural changes . The completion of the First Transcontinental Railroad through the region accelerated non-native settlements and development . </P> <P> Historically , the Intermountain West area centered in Utah is associated with Latter - day Saint ( Mormon ) settlements , and the region has the highest percentage of LDS members in the United States currently . That region is also known as the Mormon Corridor . </P> <P> Because of its low population density and diverse economy , the survivalist writers James Wesley Rawles and Joel Skousen both recommend the region as a preferred locale for `` strategic relocation '' and for building survival retreats , thus referring to it as the American Redoubt . </P> <H2> Intermountain States ( edit ) </H2> <P> The intermountain states are generally considered to be Nevada , Utah , Idaho south of the Salmon River , Arizona north of the Mogollon Rim , and western Colorado and northwestern New Mexico west of the Rocky Mountains .

It premiered at the Royal Theatre in Copenhagen , Denmark , on 21 December 1879 , having been published earlier that month . The play is set in a Norwegian town circa 1879 . </P> <P> The play is significant for the way it deals with the fate of a married woman , who at the time in Norway lacked reasonable opportunities for self - fulfillment in a male - dominated world . It aroused a great sensation at the time , and caused a `` storm of outraged controversy '' that went beyond the theatre to the world newspapers and society . </P> <P> In 2006 , the centennial of Ibsen 's death , A Doll 's House held the distinction of being the world 's most performed play that year . UNESCO has inscribed Ibsen 's autographed manuscripts of A Doll 's House on the Memory of the World Register in 2001 , in recognition of their historical value . </P> <P> The title of the play is most commonly translated as A Doll 's House , though some scholars use A Doll House . John Simon says that A Doll 's House is `` the British term for what we call a ' dollhouse ' '' . Egil Törnqvist says of the alternative title : `` Rather than being superior to the traditional rendering , it simply sounds more idiomatic to Americans .

It was released on April 27 , 2006 on both CD and 7 '' vinyl . The pizzicato cello motif that the song is built upon was played by session musician Heather Stebbins . The song reached No. 7 on the United States Billboard Hot 100 . This was the band 's only top forty hit until the release of `` Hallelujah '' in 2015 . While the song failed to hit the top 10 on the Alternative Songs chart peaking at No. 12 which was lower than their prior single , `` The Only Difference Between Martyrdom and Suicide Is Press Coverage '' which peaked at No. 5 , the song 's success on the Hot 100 and Mainstream Top 40 ( at No. 2 ) charts was what made the song one of the biggest modern rock hits of 2006 and is still one of the band 's most played songs on alternative radio stations to this day . </P> <P> In the UK , the song was released on February 27 , 2006 as a limited edition single with a free sticker . Because the sticker was included with the CD single , the song was not eligible for the UK Singles Chart . Official Charts Company rules state that stickers are not allowed in single releases . Later , in September 2006 , due to the popularity of the track and following further single releases there of `` Lying Is the Most Fun a Girl Can Have Without Taking Her Clothes Off '' and `` But It 's Better If You Do '' , going top 40 there , the single was re-released on October 30 , 2006 . Despite receiving significant radio airplay upon its re-release , the single only reached No. 25 in the UK Singles Chart . </P> <P> Many U.S. radio stations , in response to the language found in the song , wanted an edited version . The lyrics `` The poor groom 's bride is a whore '' and `` Have n't you people ever heard of closing a goddamn door ? '' were changed by replacing `` whore '' with a `` shhh '' sound and removing `` god '' in `` goddamn '' . Some stations -- generally modern rock stations -- still play the original version . </P> <P> The song was covered by Fall Out Boy , fellow Decaydance band , for their live album , * * * * : Live in Phoenix . ( Fall Out Boy commonly uses the song 's chorus as a lead - in to `` This Ai n't a Scene , It 's an Arms Race '' in concert . ) </P> <P> `` I Write Sins Not Tragedies '' was ranked No. 3 in Billboard 's Best 2000 's Video poll . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Title </Li> <Li> 2 Music video </Li> <Li> 3 Track listing </Li> <Li> 4 Charts and certifications <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Weekly charts </Li> <Li> 4.2 Year - end charts </Li> <Li> 4.3 Certifications </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Title ( edit ) </H2> <P> The title of the song refers to Douglas Coupland 's novel Shampoo Planet , wherein the main character , Tyler Johnson , says : `` I am writing a list of tragic character flaws on my dollar bills with a felt pen .

UNLV had been in the market to for a new stadium to replace Sam Boyd Stadium since at least 2011 . Raiders owner Mark Davis visited Las Vegas on January 29 to tour the site and meet with Sands chairman Sheldon Adelson and other local figures . The Raiders , who had been trying to get a new stadium built for the team since the 1980s , had just missed out on relocating to Los Angeles that same month and were at an impasse in Oakland . In order for the team to relocate to Las Vegas , a new stadium was required , since Sam Boyd Stadium was undersized for the NFL and there were no other professional - caliber stadiums in Nevada . </P> <P> On March 21 , 2016 , when asked about Las Vegas , Davis said , `` I think the Raiders like the Las Vegas plan , '' and `` it 's a very very very intriguing and exciting plan . '' Davis also met with Nevada Governor Brian Sandoval about the stadium plan . On April 1 , 2016 , Davis met with UNLV officials and toured Sam Boyd Stadium to evaluate whether it could serve as a temporary home for the team . </P> <P> On April 28 , 2016 , Davis said he wanted to move the Raiders to Las Vegas and pledged $500 million toward the construction of the proposed $2.4 - billion domed stadium . `` Together we can turn the Silver State into the silver and black state , '' Davis said . </P> <P> In the spring of 2016 , the board of directors of Las Vegas Sands rejected Adelson 's stadium proposal . Adelson decided to move ahead with the stadium as an individual investment , pledging $650 million of his personal wealth to the project . </P> <P> The viability of the Tropicana Avenue site was called into serious question in June 2016 , when Southwest Airlines objected to the location because its proximity to the northern end of one of McCarran Airport 's runways could negatively affect the safety and capacity of air traffic at the airport . The list of potential locations soon expanded to nine candidates , including the sites of the Wild Wild West casino , the Wynn golf course , the Riviera casino , the Las Vegas Festival Grounds , and Cashman Center .

Neanderthals had a slightly larger brain than modern humans , perhaps due to larger visual systems . </P> <P> Some studies suggest that the average brain size has been decreasing over the past 28,000 years . Others suggest that the cranial capacity for males is unchanged , but that the cranial capacity of females has increased . </P> <H3> Biogeographic variation ( edit ) </H3> Average cranial volume by geographic ancestry ( Beals et al. 1984 ) <P> Average cranial capacity in humans varies significantly depending on geographic ancestry in humans , in the range of 1,200 to 1,450 cm between populations . Larger cranial volume is associated with climatic region , the largest averages being found in populations of Siberia and the Arctic . For this reason , Beals et al. ( 1984 ) proposed that the primary reason for the variation is climatic adaptation , favoring large round heads in colder climates because they conserve heat and slender heads in warm climates closer to the equator ( see Bergmann 's rule and Allen 's rule ) . </P> <H3> Changes over the lifespan ( edit ) </H3> <P> A baby 's brain at birth averages 369 cm and increases during the first year of life to about 961 cm , after which the growth rate declines . Brain volume peaks at the age of 40 years , after which it begins to decline by 5 % per decade , speeding up at around 70 years . Total cerebral and gray matter volumes peak between 10 and 20 years ( earlier in girls than in boys ) of age , whereas white matter and ventricular volumes increase . There is a general pattern in which neural development peaks in childhood and declines in adolescence , a process known as synaptic pruning . Overall white matter volume does not appear to decline with age , although there is variation among brain regions . </P> <H3> Sex ( edit ) </H3> Average brain weight for males and females over lifespan . From the study Changes in brain weights during the span of human life . <P> The average brain weight in adult males is 1,345 grams ; in adult females , 1,222 grams . Males have been found to have , on average , greater cerebral , cerebellar , and cerebral cortical lobar volumes , except possibly left parietal . </P> <P> When covaried for intracranial volume , height , and weight , one study found that women have a higher percentage of gray matter , whereas men have a higher percentage of white matter and cerebrospinal fluid . There was high variability among individuals , however . Yaki ( 2011 ) found no statistically significant gender differences in the gray matter ratio for most ages in a sample of 758 women and 702 men aged 20 -- 69 . </P> <P> Consistent with findings in adults , average cerebral volume is approximately 10 % larger in boys than in girls . However , such differences should not be construed as imparting any sort of functional advantage or disadvantage ; gross structural measures may not reflect functionally relevant factors such as neuronal connectivity and receptor density . Moreover , brain volumes , even in narrowly defined groups ( e.g. children of the same age ) , may vary by as much as 50 % . Young girls have , on average , larger hippocampi , whereas young boys have larger amygdalas . </P> <P> Significant dynamic changes in brain structure take place throughout adulthood , with substantial variation between individuals .

other unnamed children . He is an alcoholic , poaching game to feed his family because he spends whatever money they legally gain via government `` relief checks '' on alcohol . It is implied , and evidence suggests , that he was the one who abused his daughter Mayella , not Tom Robinson ( the African American man accused of doing so ) . Although most everybody in town knows that the Ewells are a disgrace and not to be trusted , it is made clear that Tom Robinson was convicted because he is a Negro whose accuser is white . Upon hearing of Tom 's death , Bob is absolutely gleeful , gloating about his success . After being humiliated at the trial , however , he goes on a quest for revenge , becoming increasingly violent . He begins by spitting in Atticus ' face , followed by a failed attempt to break into the home of Judge Taylor , then finally menacing Helen , the poor widow of Tom Robinson . Ewell later attempts to murder Jem and Scout Finch with a knife to complete his revenge . Boo Radley saves Jem and Scout and it is believed that he kills Ewell with the knife . Heck Tate , the sheriff , puts in the official report that Bob Ewell fell on his own knife and died after lying under a tree for 45 minutes . Ewell is played by James Anderson in the film . </P> <H3> Mayella Ewell ( edit ) </H3> <P> Mayella Violet Ewell , 19 , is the oldest of the eight Ewell children . Before the trial , Mayella is noted for growing red geraniums outside her otherwise dirty home in order to bring some beauty into her life . Due to her family 's living situation , Mayella has no opportunity for human contact or love . She eventually gets so desperate that she attempts to seduce a black man , Tom Robinson , by saving up nickels to send her siblings to go get ice cream so that Mayella can be alone with Tom . Her father sees this through a window and in punishment he beats her . Ewell then finds the sheriff , Heck Tate , and tells him that his daughter has been raped and beaten by Tom . At the trial , Atticus points out that only the right side of Mayella 's face is injured , suggesting a left - handed assailant ; Tom 's left arm is mangled and useless , but Bob Ewell is left - handed . When Atticus asks her if she has any friends , she becomes confused because she does not know what a friend is . During her testimony she is confused by Atticus ' polite speech and thinks that his use of `` Miss Mayella '' is meant to mock her . She testifies against Tom Robinson . Mayella is played by Collin Wilcox in the film . </P> <H3> Tom Robinson ( edit ) </H3> <P> Thomas `` Tom '' Robinson is an African - American who is put on trial for the rape of a white woman , Mayella Ewell . Atticus is assigned to defend him , and stands up to a lynch mob intent on exacting their own justice against him before the trial begins . Tom 's left arm is crippled and useless , the result of an accident with a cotton gin when he was a child . Atticus uses this fact as the cornerstone of his defense strategy , pointing out that the nature of Mayella 's facial injuries strongly suggest a left - handed assailant . Tom testifies that he had frequently helped Mayella with household chores because he felt sorry for her and the family 's difficult life - a statement that shocks the all - white , male jury . Despite Atticus ' skilled defense , the jury 's racial prejudices lead them to find Tom guilty . Atticus plans to appeal the verdict , but before he can do so , Tom is shot and killed while trying to escape the prison where he is being held . Tom Robinson is played by Brock Peters . </P> <H3> Aunt Alexandra ( edit ) </H3> <P> Alexandra Hancock ( née Finch ) is Atticus ' and Jack 's sister , married to James `` Uncle Jimmy '' Hancock . She has a son named Henry and a very spoiled grandson named Francis . Around the middle of the book , Aunt Alexandra decides to leave her husband at Finch 's Landing , the Finch family homestead to come stay with the Finches . Aunt Alexandra does n't consider the black Calpurnia to be a very good motherly figure for Jem and Scout ; she disapproves of Scout being a tomboy and wants to make Scout into a southern belle ( encouraging her to act more ' lady like ' ) . This is the cause of many conflicts between Scout and Alexandra throughout the course of the novel . However , as the trial progresses , Scout comes to see how much her aunt cares for her father and what a strong woman she is . This is especially evidenced by a tea party when Scout is horrified by the racism displayed , and her aunt and Miss Maudie help her deal with her feelings . By the end of the book , it 's clear that Alexandra cares very much for her niece and nephew , though she and Scout will probably never really get along . </P> <H2> Minor characters ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Jack Finch ( edit ) </H3> <P> John Hale `` Jack '' Finch is Atticus ' and Alexandra 's younger brother . ( He is about 40 , which is 10 years younger than Atticus . ) Jack smells like alcohol and something sweet , and is said that he and Alexandra have similar features . Jack is a childless doctor who can always make Scout and Jem laugh , and they

Epithelial tissues line the outer surfaces of organs and blood vessels throughout the body , as well as the inner surfaces of cavities in many internal organs . An example is the epidermis , the outermost layer of the skin . </P> <P> There are three principal shapes of epithelial cell : squamous , columnar , and cuboidal . These can be arranged in a single layer of cells as simple epithelium , either squamous , columnar , cuboidal , pseudo-stratified columnar or in layers of two or more cells deep as stratified ( layered ) , either squamous , columnar or cuboidal . All glands are made up of epithelial cells . Functions of epithelial cells include secretion , selective absorption , protection , transcellular transport , and sensing . </P> <P> Epithelial layers contain no blood vessels , so they must receive nourishment via diffusion of substances from the underlying connective tissue , through the basement membrane . Cell junctions are well - employed in epithelial tissues . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Classification <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Simple epithelium </Li> <Li> 1.2 Stratified epithelium </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Cell types </Li> <Li> 3 Structure <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Location </Li> <Li> 3.2 Basement membrane </Li> <Li> 3.3 Cell junctions </Li> <Li> 3.4 Development </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Functions <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Glandular tissue </Li> <Li> 4.2 Sensing the extracellular environment </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Clinical significance </Li> <Li> 6 Etymology and pronunciation </Li> <Li> 7 Additional images </Li> <Li> 8 See also </Li> <Li> 9 References <Ul> <Li> 9.1 Bibliography </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 10 Further reading </Li> <Li> 11 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Classification ( edit ) </H2> Summary showing different epithelial cells / tissues and their characteristics . <P> In general , epithelial tissues are classified by the number of their layers and by the shape and function of the cells . </P> <P> The three principal shapes associated with epithelial cells are -- squamous , cuboidal and columnar . </P> <Ul> <Li> Squamous epithelium has cells that are wider than their height ( flat and scale - like ) . </Li> <Li> Cuboidal epithelium has cells whose height and width are approximately the same ( cube shaped ) . </Li> <Li> Columnar epithelium has cells taller than they are wide ( column - shaped ) . </Li> </Ul> <P> By layer , epithelium is classed as either simple epithelium , only one cell thick ( unilayered ) or stratified epithelium as stratified squamous epithelium , stratified cuboidal epithelium , and stratified columnar epithelium that are two or more cells thick ( multi-layered ) , and both types of layering can be made up of any of the cell shapes . However , when taller simple columnar epithelial cells are viewed in cross section showing several nuclei appearing at different heights , they can be confused with stratified epithelia . This kind of epithelium is therefore described as pseudostratified columnar epithelium . </P> <P> Transitional epithelium has cells that can change from squamous to cuboidal , depending on the amount of tension on the epithelium . </P> <H3> Simple epithelium ( edit ) </H3> <P> Simple epithelium is a single layer of cells with every cell in direct contact with the basement membrane that separates it from the underlying connective tissue . In general , it is found where absorption and filtration occur . The thinness of the epithelial barrier facilitates these processes . </P> <P> In general , simple epithelial tissues are classified by the shape of their cells . The four major classes of simple epithelium are : ( 1 ) simple squamous ; ( 2 ) simple cuboidal ; ( 3 ) simple columnar ; ( 4 ) pseudostratified . </P> <Dl> <Dd> ( 1 ) simple squamous ; which is found lining areas where passive diffusion of gases occur . e.g. skin , walls of capillaries , linings of the pericardial , pleural , and peritoneal cavities , as well as the linings of the alveoli of the lungs . </Dd> <Dd> ( 2 ) simple cuboidal : these cells may have secretory , absorptive , or excretory functions . examples include small collecting ducts of kidney , pancreas , and salivary gland . </Dd> <Dd> ( 3 ) simple columnar ; cells can be secretory , absorptive , or excretory ;

Tracing its heritage back to Thomas Jefferson and James Madison 's Democratic - Republican Party , the modern - day Democratic Party was founded around 1828 by supporters of Andrew Jackson , making it the world 's oldest political party . </P> <P> The Democrats ' dominant worldview was once social conservatism and economic liberalism while populism was its leading characteristic in the rural South . In 1912 , Theodore Roosevelt ran as a third - party candidate in the Progressive ( `` Bull Moose '' ) Party , leading to a switch of political platforms between the Democratic and Republican Party and Woodrow Wilson being elected as the first fiscally progressive Democrat . Since Franklin D. Roosevelt and his New Deal coalition in the 1930s , the Democratic Party has also promoted a social liberal platform , supporting social justice . </P> <P> Today , the House Democratic caucus is composed mostly of centrists and progressives , with a smaller minority of conservative Democrats . The party 's philosophy of modern liberalism advocates social and economic equality , along with the welfare state . It seeks to provide government intervention and regulation in the economy . These interventions , such as the introduction of social programs , support for labor unions , affordable college tuitions , moves toward universal health care and equal opportunity , consumer protection and environmental protection form the core of the party 's economic policy . The party has united with smaller liberal regional parties throughout the country , such as the Farmer -- Labor Party in Minnesota and the Nonpartisan League in North Dakota . </P> <P> Well into the 20th century , the party had conservative pro-business and Southern conservative - populist anti-business wings . The New Deal Coalition of 1932 -- 1964 attracted strong support from voters of recent European extraction -- many of whom were Catholics based in the cities . After Franklin D. Roosevelt 's New Deal of the 1930s , the pro-business wing withered outside the South . After the racial turmoil of the 1960s , most Southern whites and many Northern Catholics moved into the Republican Party at the presidential level . The once - powerful labor union element became smaller and less supportive after the 1970s . White Evangelicals and Southerners became heavily Republican at the state and local level in the 1990s . Racial and ethnic minorities in the United States , such as Jewish Americans , Hispanic Americans , Arabic Americans and African Americans , tend to support the Democratic Party much more than they support the rival Republican Party , giving the Democratic Party its current membership lead over the Republicans . </P> <P> 15 Democrats have served as President under 16 administrations : the first was 7th President Andrew Jackson , who served from 1829 to 1837 ; Grover Cleveland served two nonconsecutive terms from 1885 to 1889 and 1893 to 1897 ; and thus is counted twice ( as the 22nd and 24th President ) . The most recent was the 44th President Barack Obama , who held the office from 2009 to 2017 . </P> <P> Currently , the Democrats are the opposition party due to having the minority of seats in both the House of Representatives and the Senate as well as having the minority of governorships and state legislatures ( full control of 13 / 50 , split control of five others ) . However , they do have `` trifectas '' ( the executive branch and both chambers of the legislative branch ) in eight states and the mayoralty of major American cities such as New York City , Los Angeles , Chicago , Houston , Dallas , Phoenix , Philadelphia , San Francisco and Washington , D.C. </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 1828 -- 1860 </Li> <Li> 1.2 1860 -- 1900 </Li> <Li> 1.3 1900 -- 1930 </Li> <Li> 1.4 1930 -- 1960 </Li> <Li> 1.5 1960 -- 1980 </Li> <Li> 1.6 1980 -- present </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Name and symbols </Li>

Pufnstuf and Lidsville . </P> <P> The series for the first two seasons was shot on a modular indoor soundstage at General Service Studios in Hollywood , and made economical use of a small number of sets and scenic props which were rearranged frequently to suggest the ostensibly vast jungles , ancient cities and cave systems . As is traditional in many effect scenes , miniatures or scale - version settings were used for insertion of live - action scenes . Additional locations were often rendered using scale miniatures and chroma key . </P> <P> Spencer Milligan departed the show at the beginning of its third season for financial reasons . In addition to a salary increase , he believed it was only fair that he and the rest of the cast receive compensation for using their image on various merchandise . His character Rick Marshall was replaced by his brother , Jack Marshall , played by actor Ron Harper . Milligan did not return for the brief scene , also shown in the credits of the third season , showing Rick Marshall being transported out of the Land of the Lost . One of the show 's crew played the role instead , wearing a wig resembling Milligan 's hair and standing with his back to the camera . </P> <P> Non-human characters were portrayed by actors in latex rubber suits , or with heavy creature make - up . Dinosaurs in the series were created using a combination of stop motion animation miniatures , rear projection film effects and occasional hand puppets for close - ups of dinosaur heads . Wesley Eure points out on a commentary track for Land of the Lost 's first season DVD that the Grumpy hand puppet has no hole in the back of its throat , even though it is often seen opening its mouth wide to roar . The series marked a rare example of matting filmed stop - motion sequences with videotape live action , so as to avoid the telltale blue ' fringe ' produced in matting with less exacting processes . Though this occasionally worked very well , the difference in lighting between the video and film sequences sometimes brought inadvertent attention to the limitations of the process . </P> <P> Special effects footage was frequently re-used . Additional visual effects were achieved using manual film overlay techniques , the low - tech ancestor to current motion control photography . </P> <H2> Cast ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Main ( edit ) </H3> <Ul> <Li> Rick Marshall ( Seasons 1 and 2 ) -- Spencer Milligan </Li> <Li> Will Marshall -- Wesley Eure </Li> <Li> Holly Marshall -- Kathy Coleman </Li> <Li> Uncle Jack Marshall ( Season 3 ) -- Ron Harper </Li> <Li> Cha - Ka -- Phillip Paley ( Season 3 ; recurring , seasons 1 - 2 ) </Li> </Ul> <H3> Recurring ( edit ) </H3> <Ul> <Li> Sa -- Sharon Baird ( Seasons 1 and 2 ) </Li> <Li> Ta -- Joe Giamalva ( Season 1 ) and Scutter McKay ( Season 2 ) </Li> <Li> Enik -- Walker Edmiston </Li> <Li> The Zarn -- Marvin Miller ( voice ) and Van Snowden ( body ) ( Season 2 ) </Li> <Li> Malak -- Richard Kiel ( Season 3 ) </Li> <Li> Sleestak Leader -- Jon Locke ( Season 3 ) </Li> <Li> Sleestaks -- Dave Greenwood , Bill Laimbeer , John Lambert , Cleveland Porter , Jack Tingley , Scott Fullerton , Mike Westra , Bill Boyd , David Harris , Clarke Roberts </Li> </Ul> <H2> DVD releases ( edit ) </H2> <P> From 2004 to 2005 , Rhino Entertainment owned the rights to the show , and released seasons one through three , and a complete series package , with several bonus features , including commentaries , on all of the releases . Those DVDs have since gone out of print . On May 26 , 2009 , Universal Studios released two complete series releases , one in original packaging , and the other enclosed in a Land of the Lost vintage lunchbox ; the only bonus feature was a look at the film starring Will Ferrell . On October 13 , 2009 , Universal released the three seasons individually ; the DVDs are identical to Universal 's Complete Series Boxes . The series is also available in Digital media format . </P> <H2> Remakes ( edit ) </H2> <P> Despite a relatively short run , the show continued to be aired extensively through syndication . Based on that success , a remake of the series began in 1991 and ran for two seasons . The DVDs of the series earned a Saturn nomination for best retro TV series release in 2004 . </P> <P> On June 5 , 2009 a feature film based on the 1974 TV series opened in U.S. theaters . Unlike the original series , which was a serious take on the story , the film was a comedy / parody ( more likely inspired by the unsuccessful 1991 series reboot ) . It was directed by Brad Silberling and starred Will Ferrell , with the Krofft brothers serving as co-producers . Although the original series was aimed for children , the film 's target audience was adults . </P> <P> In 2015 it was reported that Sid and Marty Kroft were working on a reboot to Land of the Lost following what they called `` that other movie .
