History of chocolate in Spain - Wikipedia <H1> History of chocolate in Spain </H1> Jump to : navigation , search A woman ( Aline Masson ) drinking a cup of chocolate , in a canvas by Raimundo Madrazo Typical 17th - century scene showing the preparation of chocolate <P> The history of chocolate in Spain is part of the culinary history of Spain as understood since the 16th century , when the colonization of the Americas began and the cocoa plant was discovered in regions of Mesoamerica , until the present . After the conquest of Mexico , cocoa as a commodity travelled by boat from the port of Nueva España to the Spanish coast . The first such voyage to Europe occurred at an unknown date in the 1520s . However it was only in the 17th century that regular trade began from the port of Veracruz , opening a maritime trade route that would supply the new demand from Spain , and later from other European countries . </P> <P> Although chocolate was n't immediately adopted by European societies , it eventually made its way to becoming a high commodity . Once the Europeans realized the societal value of chocolate , they started to incorporate it more into their diet . </P> <P> From the early stages , the cocoa was sweetened with sugar cane , which the Spanish were the first to popularise in Europe . In pre-Columbus America chocolate was flavored with peppers and was a mixture of both bitter and spicy flavours . This made it an acquired taste and limited its appeal to the Spanish conquistadors , who were soon encouraged to sweeten it with sugar brought from the Iberian Peninsula in addition to heating it . </P> <P> Over a 100 - year period since its first appearance in the ports of Andalusia , chocolate became popular as a drink in Spain , where it was served to the Spanish monarchy . However , for a time the formula was unknown in the rest of Europe . Later chocolate spread from Spain to the rest of Europe , with the first countries to adopt it being Italy and France . </P> <P> The great popularity of the drink in Spanish society from that time until the 19th century is attested to in various reports written by travellers who visited the Iberian peninsula . It was said that `` chocolate is to the Spanish what tea is to the English '' . In this way chocolate was converted into a national symbol . The unusual fondness for this drink meant that coffee remained relatively unpopular in Spain compared to other European countries . </P> <P> In Spain , chocolate was exclusively considered a refreshing drink , and it was rarely used in other ways -- though there are older Spanish dishes that use cocoa . After the Spanish Civil War the custom declined in favour of coffee consumption . In modern Spain , traces of the history of the drink can be seen in the chocolate companies , the chocolate shops and museums . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Pre-Columbian era <Ul> <Li> 1.1 As currency </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 The age of discovery <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Columbus ' first encounter </Li> <Li> 2.2 Encounters in New Spain </Li> <Li> 2.3 Naming the new product </Li> <Li> 2.4 First deliveries to Spain </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 The golden age of chocolate </Li> <Li> 4 Sources </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Pre-Columbian era ( edit ) </H2> See also : History of chocolate Mayan writing referring to cocoa <P> The ( Mesoamerican ) origin of the cacao tree ( to which Linnaeus gave the scientific name Theobroma cacao in 1753 ) is disputed by modern botanical historians since there are different hypotheses about the region from which it comes . Thus , some theories point to the Amazon region ; however , it is estimated that the plant also grew in the wild in other parts of Americas , including the plains of the Orinoco Basin . It is very likely that the Olmecs knew the cacao plant , in 1000 BC and transmit its use and cultivation to the Mayans , who were the first to describe cocoa in their hieroglyphics . There is some link between the blood of human sacrifice and the intake of cocoa , and samples found in Mayan tombs strongly imply that the drink was common in the noble classes . The role played in religious ceremonies was explained by Diego de Landa , in his book List of Yucatan things . </P> <H3> As currency ( edit ) </H3> <P> The chronicles of the Spanish conquistadors contain numerous mentions of its use by the Aztecs as a form of currency , which used the Aztec vigesimal system the use of which was widespread . There were specific names , such as the countles consisting of four cocoa beans , the xiquipil consisting of twenty countles and the `` burden , '' which included three xiquipiles . Gonzalo Fernández de Oviedo noted : </P> <P> `` So in the province of Nicaragua , a Rabbit is worth ten kernels and for four kernels they give eight apples or loquat of that excellent fruit they call munonzapot ; and a slave is worth more or less 100 of these kernels , depending on the negotiations between the parties involved . '' </P> <P> Cocoa was also valued in other contexts such as religious rituals , marital rituals or as medicine ( alone or mixed with other plants ) as well as being a nutritious food . The widely held belief that it was `` a gift from the gods '' gave it appeal in pre-Columbian societies as a symbol of economic well - being . Its use as a currency was mostly in the payment of taxes to the powerful . </P> <H2> The age of discovery ( edit ) </H2> Cacao beans , which the Spanish thought similar in appearance

When Danny Boyle , the director of Slumdog Millionaire , approached Rahman to compose its soundtrack , he included the song . `` Jai Ho '' accompanies a choreographed dance sequence at the end credits of Slumdog Millionaire . The song features vocals from Sukhvinder Singh , Mahalaxmi Iyer and Vijay Prakash in Hindi , Urdu and Punjabi . Indian singer Tanvi Shah wrote and provided vocals for a Spanish section of the song . `` Jai Ho '' is a Hindi phrase which can be roughly translated as `` Let ( the ) victory prevail '' , `` Let there be victory '' , or `` May there always be victory '' . </P> <P> `` Jai Ho '' was , at the time of its release `` the toast of the town in almost every part of the world '' . Covers and remixes of the song and performances of the `` Jai Ho '' dance were posted on YouTube . `` Jai Ho '' received universally favorable reviews from music critics , who cited it as the best song on the Slumdog Millionaire soundtrack . The song won an Academy Award for Best Original Song and a Grammy Award for Best Song Written for a Motion Picture , Television or Other Visual Media . It was also the official campaign song of the Indian National Congress during the 2009 election . </P> <P> American girl group The Pussycat Dolls recorded an English interpretation of `` Jai Ho '' . Entitled `` Jai Ho ! ( You Are My Destiny ) '' , and credited to `` A.R.

Rahman received an email from Danny Boyle , the director of the film Slumdog Millionaire , stating : `` Hey I 'm Danny Boyle , I like your work , and it would be great for us to have you on our film '' . Rahman was unsure how to answer , but after exchanging several more emails , they met in Mumbai . Rahman summarized their first meeting by saying `` when I talked to him , I had some interest and I wanted to see the film . He had a first cut of the film already , and when I saw that I was really interested and wanted to do it . So I left another film to do this one . I made time for it '' . </P> <P> While composing the soundtrack to the Slumdog Millionaire , Rahman aimed to mix modern India with eighties Hindi film soundtracks . Boyle , who `` hated sentiment and cello '' , told Rahman to `` never put a cello in my film '' . Boyle also insisted on a `` pulsey '' score . Rahman stated that Boyle wanted `` edgy , upfront '' music that did not suppress sound . He noted that `` There 's not many cues in the film . Usually a big film has 130 cues . This had just seventeen or eighteen : the end credits , beginning credits '' . </P> <P> The soundtrack for Slumdog Millionaire took Rahman two months to plan and two weeks to complete . He recalled that : `` Usually it takes six months with the musical films I 'm doing in India '' . Rahman said the soundtrack `` is n't about India or Indian culture . The story could happen anywhere : China , Brazil , anywhere . Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is on in every damn country '' . </P> <H2> Writing and composition ( edit ) </H2> `` Jai Ho '' was originally composed for Subhash Ghai 's 2008 film Yuvvraaj , but the director felt the song to be `` too subtle and soft '' for inclusion in the film . <P> Rahman composed `` Jai Ho '' using Logic Pro , a digital audio workstation and MIDI sequencer software application created by Apple Inc . At the time of the song 's production , Rahman had been using the software for almost 12 years . For `` Jai Ho '' , Rahman made extensive use of Logic instruments , including the EXS24 , which comprises the EVP88 electric piano and ES2 synth mixed with a few plugins , such as the Channel EQ , Bitcrusher and Guitar Amp Pro . The bassline and the `` trancey , arpeggiated '' musical line used ES2 presets . For the `` long chorus vocals '' in the song , Rahman created a `` robotic , stair -

Period ( periodic table ) - wikipedia <H1> Period ( periodic table ) </H1> Jump to : navigation , search In the periodic table of the elements , each numbered row is a period . <P> A period in the periodic table is one of the horizontal rows , all of those elements have the same number of electron shells . Going across a period , each element has one more proton and is less metallic than its predecessor . Arranged this way , groups of elements in the same column have similar chemical and physical properties , reflecting the periodic law . For example , the alkali metals lie in the first column ( group 1 ) and share similar properties , such as high reactivity and the tendency to lose one electron to arrive at a noble - gas electronic configuration . As of 2016 a total of 118 elements have been discovered and confirmed . </P> The Madelung energy ordering rule describes the order in which orbitals are arranged by increasing energy according to the Madelung rule . Each diagonal corresponds to a different value of n + l . <P> Modern quantum mechanics explains these periodic trends in properties in terms of electron shells . As atomic number increases , shells fill with electrons in approximately the order shown at right . The filling of each shell corresponds to a row in the table . </P> <P> In the s - block and p - block of the periodic table , elements within the same period generally do not exhibit trends and similarities in properties ( vertical trends down groups are more significant ) . However , in the d - block , trends across periods become significant , and in the f - block elements show a high degree of similarity across periods . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Periods <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Period 1 </Li> <Li> 1.2 Period 2 </Li> <Li> 1.3 Period 3 </Li> <Li> 1.4 Period 4 </Li> <Li> 1.5 Period 5 </Li> <Li> 1.6 Period 6 </Li> <Li> 1.7 Period 7 </Li> <Li> 1.8 Period 8 </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Periods ( edit ) </H2> <P> Seven periods of elements occur naturally on Earth .

They therefore do not follow the octet rule . Chemically , helium behaves as a noble gas , and thus is taken to be part of the group 18 elements . However , in terms of its nuclear structure it belongs to the s block , and is therefore sometimes classified as a group 2 element , or simultaneously both 2 and 18 . Hydrogen readily loses and gains an electron , and so behaves chemically as both a group 1 and a group 17 element . </P> <Ul> <Li> Hydrogen ( H ) is the most abundant of the chemical elements , constituting roughly 75 % of the universe 's elemental mass . Ionized hydrogen is just a proton . Stars in the main sequence are mainly composed of hydrogen in its plasma state .

Hydrogen can form compounds with most elements and is present in water and most organic compounds . </Li> <Li> Helium ( He ) exists only as a gas except in extreme conditions . It is the second lightest element and is the second most abundant in the universe . Most helium was formed during the Big Bang , but new helium is created through nuclear fusion of hydrogen in stars .

Exodus 20 : 7 reads : </P> <Dl> <Dd> `` Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain ; for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain . '' ( KJV ) . </Dd> </Dl> <P> Based on this commandment , Second Temple Judaism by the Hellenistic period developed a taboo of pronouncing the name of God at all , resulting in the replacement of the Tetragrammaton by `` Adonai '' ( literally `` my lords '' -- see Adonai ) in pronunciation . </P> <P> In the Hebrew Bible itself , the commandment is directed against abuse of the name of God , not against any use ; there are numerous examples in the Hebrew Bible and a few in the New Testament where God 's name is called upon in oaths to tell the truth or to support the truth of the statement being sworn to , and the books of Daniel and Revelation include instances where an angel sent by God invokes the name of God to support the truth of apocalyptic revelations . God himself is presented as swearing by his own name ( `` As surely as I live ... '' ) to guarantee the certainty of various events foretold through the prophets . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Hebrew Bible </Li> <Li> 2 In Judaism </Li> <Li> 3 In the New Testament </Li> <Li> 4 In the Catholic Church </Li> <Li> 5 In The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter - day Saints </Li> <Li> 6 Reformation and post-Reformation doctrines <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Winwood Reade 's doctrine </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Hebrew Bible ( edit ) </H2> <P> The Hebrew לא תשא לשוא is translated as `` thou shalt not take in vain '' . The word here translated as `` in vain '' is שוא shav ' `` emptiness , vanity ; emptiness of speech , lying '' , while `` take '' is נשא nasa ' `` to lift , carry , bear , take , take away '' ( appearing in the second person as תשא ) . The expression `` to take in vain '' is also translated less literally as `` to misuse '' or variants . Some have interpreted the commandment to be against perjury , since invoking God 's name in an oath was considered a guarantee of the truth of a statement or promise . Other scholars believe the original intent was to prohibit using the name in the magical practice of conjuration . </P> <P> Hebrew Bible passages also refer to God 's name being profaned by hypocritical behavior of people and false representation of God 's words or character . Many scholars also believe the commandment applies to the casual use of God 's name in interjections and curses ( blasphemy ) . </P> <P> The object of the command `` thou shalt not take in vain '' is את ־ שם ־ יהוה אלהיך at - shem - YHWH elohik `` this - same name of YHWH , thy elohim '' , making explicit that the commandment is against the misuse of the proper name Yahweh specifically . </P> <P> In the Hebrew Bible , as well as in the Ancient Near East and throughout classical antiquity more generally , an oath is a conditional self - curse invoking deities that are asked to inflict punishment on the oath - breaker . There are numerous examples in the Book of Samuel of people strengthening their statements or promises with the phrase , `` As surely as Yahweh lives ... '' and such statements are referred to in Jeremiah as well . The value of invoking punishment from God was based on the belief that God can not be deceived or evaded . For example , a narrative in the Book of Numbers describes how such an oath is to be administered by a priest to a woman suspected of adultery , with the expectation that the accompanying curse will have no effect on an innocent person . </P> <P> Such oaths may have been used in civil claims , regarding supposed theft , for example , and the commandment is repeated in the context of honest dealings between people in Leviticus 19 : 12 .

in touch with Matt , gingerly apologises and hires him to do the photography on her own new plans for Poise , which is a huge break for him . Even though Matt has a fiancée in Chicago who 's eager for him to move there , Jenna and Matt begin to fall for each other . </P> <P> Everyone loves Matt 's photos and Jenna 's new plans to save the magazine , but when Sparkle shows up yet again with this exact material , including Matt 's own photographs , and with Lucy as their new head , Poise folds . Outraged , Jenna confronts Lucy for stealing , but Lucy scornfully tells her that Jenna was the one sabotaging her own magazine all along ; Lucy merely found out about it and did the same thing . </P> <P> Matt , wounded by what he thought was Jenna 's betrayal of him , is getting married the next day . Jenna rushes out to the leafy suburb on his wedding day , hoping to convince Matt that she was n't the person she 'd seemed to be , that he 'd marry her if he could see who she really was , but Matt , already in his tux , says the past ca n't come back and hands Jenna her pink homemade dollhouse , which he 'd kept all these years . While the wedding begins in the background , Jenna leaves in tears , closing her eyes and clinging to the dollhouse -- on which a few bits of wishing dust still remain . </P> <P> When Jenna opens her eyes , she 's back in 1987 , on that same 13th birthday night with a second chance . This time , when Matt finds her huddled alone in the closet , she kisses him . They run upstairs together , bumping into Tom - Tom on the way , Jenna rips up the homework in Tom - Tom 's hands and Jenna and Matt run out of the house , emerging as a wedding couple on the other side of the door , and , as credits roll , they 're moving into a bright pink house just like the dollhouse that started it all . </P> <H2> Cast ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Jennifer Garner as Jenna Rink <Ul> <Li> Christa B.

aided by U.S. Secret Service Agent Tom Sawyer . Dorian and Sawyer join the League . They then capture Edward Hyde in Paris and he joins the League after being offered amnesty , transforming back into his alter ego Dr. Jekyll . The League travel for Venice in Nemo 's submarine , the Nautilus , but it soon becomes clear there may be a mole on board : A camera 's flash powder residue is found in the wheelhouse , and one of Jekyll 's transformation formulas disappears . Suspicion falls on the missing Skinner . </P> <P> The Nautilus arrives in Venice just as the bombs go off , causing the city to start collapsing in a domino effect . Sawyer uses Nemo 's automobile to stop the destruction , while Quatermain confronts the Fantom , who is unmasked as M. Dorian is also revealed to be the traitor , murders Nemo 's first mate Ishmael , and steals the Nautilus ' exploration pod . M and Dorian leave a phonograph recording for the League , revealing that their true goal is to ignite the world war and Dorian has been collecting physical elements of the League to create superhuman formulas and sell them off to the highest bidder . The Nautilus is damaged by bombs hidden on board , but Hyde saves it by draining the flooded engine rooms . Skinner sends a message to the League , revealing he has sneaked aboard the exploration pod and telling them to follow his heading . </P> <P> The League reach northern Mongolia , reuniting with Skinner , where they plot to destroy M 's factory with explosives . Nemo and Hyde rescue the scientists , Skinner sets the explosive charges , while Mina battles Dorian , killing him by exposing him to his portrait . Quatermain and Sawyer confront M , identifying him as Professor James Moriarty , who took on a new alias after his alleged death at the Reichenbach Falls . Sawyer is taken hostage by an invisible Reed ; Quatermain shoots the latter , only for Moriarty to fatally stab him . Moriarty flees outside , but Sawyer successfully shoots him , and the formulas sink into the icy water . Quatermain then dies . </P> <P> Quatermain is buried beside his son in Kenya . The surviving League members recall how a witch doctor had blessed Quatermain for saving his village , promising that Africa would never let him die . The remaining League members depart agreeing to continue using their powers for good in the new century . Then the witch doctor arrives , performing a ritual that summons an unnatural storm , with a bolt of lightning ambiguously striking the rifle Sawyer left on Quatermain 's grave . </P> <H2> Cast ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Sean Connery as Allan Quatermain </Li> <Li> Naseeruddin Shah as Captain Nemo </Li> <Li> Shane West as Tom Sawyer </Li> <Li> Stuart Townsend as Dorian Gray </Li> <Li> Peta Wilson as Wilhelmina `` Mina '' Harker </Li> <Li> Jason Flemyng as Dr. Henry Jekyll / Edward Hyde </Li> <Li> Tony Curran as Rodney Skinner / The Invisible Man II </Li> <Li> Richard Roxburgh as Professor James Moriarty / Fantom / M </Li> <Li> David Hemmings as Nigel </Li> <Li> Max Ryan as Dante </Li> <Li> Tom Goodman - Hill as Sanderson Reed </Li> <Li> Terry O'Neill as Ishmael </Li> </Ul> <H2> Production ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Writing ( edit ) </H3> <P> For the script , the character `` The Invisible Man '' was changed to `` An Invisible Man '' since Fox was unable to obtain the rights to the title character of H.G. Wells ' The Invisible Man , and his name was changed from `` Hawley Griffin '' to `` Rodney Skinner '' . The Fu Manchu character was also dropped from the script . At Fox 's request , the character of Tom Sawyer was added for American audiences and to give the movie some `` youth appeal '' . Producer Don Murphy , who described the request as a `` stupid studio note '' , later said that the move to add Sawyer was `` brilliant '' . </P> <H3> Casting ( edit ) </H3> <P> Connery was paid USD $17 million for his role , which left the filmmakers little money to attract other big - name stars for the ensemble cast . </P> <P> A character named Eva Draper ( Winter Ave Zoli ) , the daughter of German scientist Karl Draper , was removed during editing but remained in some of the promotional material . Eva had appeared in two scenes : one ended up on the cutting room floor , and she was digitally replaced with a different character in the other . A brief fight scene featuring Tom Sawyer and the replacement character was rotoscoped into the film . The deleted scenes which feature Draper appear on the DVD . </P> <H3> Filming ( edit ) </H3> <P> Principal photography took place in Hungary , Malta , and the Czech Republic . </P> <P> Connery reportedly had many disputes with director Stephen Norrington . Norrington did not attend the opening party , and when was asked where the director could be , Connery is said to have replied , `` Check the local asylum . '' Norrington reportedly did not like the studio supervision and was `` uncomfortable '' with large crews . </P> <P> The studio put pressure on the filmmakers for a summer release . Some staff at Fox wanted it to be released in the fall , but according to the Los Angeles Times , Fox already had Master and Commander lined up for the fall . The production ran into trouble when a special effects set did not pan out as intended , forcing the filmmakers to have to quickly look for another effects shop . </P> <H2> Lawsuit ( edit ) </H2> <P> In 2003 , Larry Cohen and Martin Poll filed a lawsuit against 20th Century Fox , claiming the company had intentionally

Mesothelial pericardium forms the outer lining of the heart . The inner lining of the heart , lymphatic and blood vessels , develop from endothelium . </P> <H3> Endocardial tubes ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the splanchnopleuric mesenchyme on either side of the neural plate , a horseshoe - shaped area develops as the cardiogenic region . This has formed from cardiac myoblasts and blood islands as forerunners of blood cells and vessels . By day 19 , an endocardial tube begins to develop in each side of this region . These two tubes grow and by the third week have converged towards each other to merge , using programmed cell death to form a single tube , the tubular heart . </P> <P> From splanchnopleuric mesenchyme , the cardiogenic region develops cranially and laterally to the neural plate . In this area , two separate angiogenic cell clusters form on either side and coalesce to form the endocardial tubes . As embryonic folding continues , the two endocardial tubes are pushed into the thoracic cavity , where they begin to fuse together , and this is completed at about 22 days . </P> <P> At around 18 to 19 days after fertilisation , the heart begins to form . This early development is critical for subsequent embryonic and prenatal development . The heart is the first functional organ to develop and starts to beat and pump blood at around day 21 or 22 . The heart begins to develop near the head of the embryo in the cardiogenic area . Following cell signalling , two strands or cords begin to form in the cardiogenic region As these form , a lumen develops within them , at which point , they are referred to as endocardial tubes . At the same time that the tubes are forming other major heart components are also being formed . The two tubes migrate together and fuse to form a single primitive heart tube , the tubular heart which quickly forms five distinct regions . From head to tail , these are the truncus arteriosus , bulbus cordis , primitive ventricle , primitive atrium , and the sinus venosus . Initially , all venous blood flows into the sinus venosus , and contractions propel the blood from tail to head , or from the sinus venosus to the truncus arteriosus . The truncus arteriosus will divide to form the aorta and pulmonary artery ; the bulbus cordis will develop into the right ventricle ; the primitive ventricle will form the left ventricle ; the primitive atrium will become the front parts of the left and right atria and their appendages , and the sinus venous will develop into the posterior part of the right atrium , the sinoatrial node and the coronary sinus . </P> <H3> Heart tube position ( edit ) </H3> <P> The central part of cardiogenic area is in front of the oropharyngeal membrane and the neural plate .

The Big Texan steak Ranch - Wikipedia <H1> The Big Texan steak Ranch </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Front view of the Big Texan Steak Ranch <P> The Big Texan Steak Ranch is a steakhouse restaurant and motel located in Amarillo , Texas , United States which opened on the previous U.S. Route 66 in the 4500 block of East Amarillo Boulevard in 1960 . It relocated to its present location on Interstate 40 in 1970 . Fire gutted the west wing of the restaurant in 1976 and destroyed $100,000 in antiques . The restaurant reopened as a larger facility in 1977 . The building is painted a bright yellow , with blue trim . A large bull statue advertises their `` free '' 72 oz . steak ( see below ) . The now - closed Texas Tornado Museum resided off in a far corner of the parking lot on the property . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 The Texas King </Li> <Li> 2 In media </Li> <Li> 3 Big Texan Motel </Li> <Li> 4 Handcrafted beer </Li> <Li> 5 Texas Country Reporter rates Big Texan No. 1 </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> The Texas King ( edit ) </H2> Two men take the steak challenge on April 6 , 2008 <P> The Big Texan is best known for its 72 ounce ( 4.5 pounds or 2.04 kg ) steak , nicknamed `` The Texas King . '' The steak is free to anyone who , in one hour or less , can eat the entire meal , consisting of the steak itself , a bread roll with butter , a baked potato , shrimp cocktail , and a salad ; otherwise , the meal costs $72 . Those who have successfully consumed the Texas King meal have their names recorded and posted at the restaurant . As of February 2018 , over 9,500 people out of about 62,000 have accomplished this feat . </P> <P> According to the restaurant , when featured on the TV show Man v. Food , the challenge started in 1960 , when founder Bob Lee decided to hold a contest over which of the cowboys working in the stockyards could eat the most steaks in one hour , with a prize of $5 ( over $41 when adjusted for inflation in 2017 ) at stake . One cowboy ate four and a half 1 - pound steaks , a shrimp cocktail , baked potato , dinner roll , and a salad in the hour 's time to win the $5 . Lee was so impressed with the achievement that he declared , `` Whoever eats that much again in my restaurant , he gets it for free . '' </P> <P> Those who take on the Texas King challenge are required to pay for the meal in advance and , if they are successful , their money is refunded . The steak is cooked to the participant 's preference , and the challenge takes place at a table for six on a raised platform in the middle of the main dining room . </P> Close - up of entrance to Big Texan Steak Ranch <P> The record for the shortest time to finish the entire Texas King meal had been held by competitive eating champion Joey Chestnut ( at 8 minutes and 52 seconds ) , breaking Frank Pastore 's 1987 record ( of 9 minutes 30 seconds , which stood for 21 years ) on his March 24 , 2008 visit . On May 26 , 2014 , he was bested by 125 - pound competitive eater Molly Schuyler , who polished off the meal in just 4 minutes 58 seconds , and came back for seconds ( 14 minutes and 57 seconds for two meals ) . She did not , however , eat a third steak meal in the same hour . Schuyler returned on April 19 , 2015 and would finish her first meal in 4 minutes 18 seconds , beating her own record by 40 seconds . She had defeated four other teams of competitors in the challenge , devouring two more meals in twenty minutes . The unofficial record ( for all animals , including humans ) was held by a 500 - pound Siberian tiger who ate the steak in 90 seconds in 1990 , until bested by a lioness in 2016 clocking in at 80 seconds . </P> <H2> In media ( edit ) </H2> <P> The Texas King meal is shown in the movie Waking Up in Reno , with Billy Bob Thornton taking the challenge . It is also shown on the Travel Channel 's Man v. Food , where host Adam Richman completes the challenge and in Anthony Bourdain : No Reservations , where Bourdain declines to compete but his cameraman takes part and fails . </P> <P> The Big Texan Steak Ranch is known for its Cadillac white stretch limos with longhorn hood ornaments , one of which appears in the 2006 animated film Cars as Texas oil baron Tex Dinoco . Becky Ransom and the Big Texan Steak Ranch ( `` free 72 - ounce steak if consumed in 60 minutes '' ) are acknowledged in the film 's credits . </P> <P> In the Season 3 episode of King of the Hill `` And They Call It Bobby Love '' , the Steak Ranch was parodied with a similar restaurant called the `` Panhandler Steakhouse . '' Bobby Hill accepts the challenge only to spite the girl that spurned his affections ( who was also a vegetarian ) . He completes the challenge but upon returning home subsequently vomits . </P> <H2> Big Texan motel ( edit ) </H2> <P> Located adjacent to the restaurant on The Big Texan Steak Ranch property is the 54 - unit Big Texan Motel .

, and Jackie Gleason , whose series , The Honeymooners , inspired The Flintstones . The voice of Barney Rubble was provided by voice actor Mel Blanc , though five episodes during the second season ( the first , second , fifth , sixth , and ninth ) employed Hanna - Barbera regular Daws Butler while Blanc was incapacitated by a near - fatal car accident . Blanc was able to return to the series much sooner than expected , by virtue of a temporary recording studio for the entire cast set up at Blanc 's bedside . Blanc 's portrayal of Barney had changed considerably after the accident . In the earliest episodes , Blanc had used a much higher pitch to the point of portraying Barney as a smart - aleck . After his recovery from the accident , Blanc used a deeper voice , quite similar to the voice of the Abominable Snowman he performed in other cartoons , and was shown as somewhat dopier than before . </P> <P> Reed based Fred 's voice upon Gleason 's Honeymooners interpretation of Ralph Kramden , while Blanc , after a season of using a nasal , high - pitched voice for Barney , eventually adopted a style of voice similar to that used by Art Carney in his portrayal of Ed Norton . The first time the Art Carney - like voice was used was for a few seconds in `` The Prowler '' ( the third episode produced ) . </P> <P> In a 1986 Playboy interview , Gleason said Alan Reed had done voice - overs for Gleason in his early movies and that he had considered suing Hanna - Barbera for copying The Honeymooners but decided to let it pass . According to Henry Corden , a voice actor and a friend of Gleason 's , `` Jackie 's lawyers told him he could probably have The Flintstones pulled right off the air . But they also told him , ' Do you want to be known as the guy who yanked Fred Flintstone off the air ? The guy who took away a show so many kids love , and so many parents love , too ? ' '' </P> <P> Henry Corden 's voice became Fred 's after Reed 's death in 1977 , starting with A Flintstone Christmas . Corden had previously provided Fred 's singing voice in The Man Called Flintstone and later on The Flintstones children 's records . Since 2000 , Jeff Bergman , James Arnold Taylor , and Scott Innes ( performing both Fred and Barney for Toshiba commercials ) have performed the voice of Fred . Since Mel Blanc 's death in 1989 , Barney has been voiced by Jeff Bergman , Frank Welker , and Kevin Michael Richardson .

The anterior spinothalamic tract carries information about crude touch . The lateral spinothalamic tract conveys pain and temperature . </P> <P> In the spinal cord , the spinothalamic tract has somatotopic organization . This is the segmental organization of its cervical , thoracic , lumbar , and sacral components , which is arranged from most medial to most lateral respectively . </P> <P> The pathway decussates at the level of the spinal cord , rather than in the brainstem like the posterior column - medial lemniscus pathway and lateral corticospinal tract . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Structure </Li> <Li> 2 Function <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Anterolateral system </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Clinical significance </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Structure ( edit ) </H2> <P> There are two main parts of the spinothalamic tract ( STT ) : </P> <Ul> <Li> The lateral spinothalamic tract transmits pain and temperature . </Li> <Li> The anterior spinothalamic tract ( or ventral spinothalamic tract ) transmits crude touch and firm pressure . </Li> </Ul> <P> The spinothalamic tract , like the dorsal column - medial lemniscus tract , uses three neurons to convey sensory information from the periphery to conscious level at the cerebral cortex . </P> <P> Pseudounipolar neurons in the dorsal root ganglion have axons that lead from the skin into the dorsal spinal cord where they ascend or descend one or two vertebral levels via Lissauer 's tract and then synapse with secondary neurons in either the substantia gelatinosa of Rolando or the nucleus proprius . These secondary neurons are called tract cells . </P> <P> The axons of the tract cells cross over ( decussate ) to the other side of the spinal cord via the anterior white commissure , and to the anterolateral corner of the spinal cord ( hence the spinothalamic tract being part of the anterolateral system ) . Decussation usually occurs 1 - 2 spinal nerve segments above the point of entry . The axons travel up the length of the spinal cord into the brainstem , specifically the rostral ventromedial medulla . </P> <P> Traveling up the brainstem , the tract moves dorsally . The neurons ultimately synapse with third - order neurons in several nuclei of the thalamus -- including the medial dorsal , ventral posterior lateral , and ventral posterior medial nuclei . From there , signals go to the cingulate cortex , the primary somatosensory cortex , and insular cortex respectively . </P> <H2> Function ( edit ) </H2> <P> The types of sensory information transmitted via the spinothalamic tract are described as affective sensation . This means that the sensation is accompanied by a compulsion to act . For instance , an itch is accompanied by a need to scratch , and a painful stimulus makes us want to withdraw from the pain . </P> <P> There are two sub-systems identified : </P> <Ul> <Li> Direct ( for direct conscious appreciation of pain ) </Li> <Li> Indirect ( for affective and arousal impact of pain ) .

This fact aids in determining whether a lesion is in the brain or the spinal cord . With lesions in the brain stem or higher , deficits of pain perception , touch sensation , and proprioception are all contralateral to the lesion . With spinal cord lesions , however , the deficit in pain perception is contralateral to the lesion , whereas the other deficits are ipsilateral . See Brown - Séquard syndrome . </P> <P> Unilateral lesions usually cause contralateral anaesthesia ( loss of pain and temperature ) . Anaesthesia will normally begin 1 - 2 segments below the level of

The album was released on August 18 , 1998 , through Immortal / Epic . This was their first album not produced by Ross Robinson . Instead , it was produced by Steve Thompson and Toby Wright . </P> <P> The album peaked at number one on four charts , including the Billboard 200 with 268,000 units sold in its first week of release , and is often credited with launching nu metal into the mainstream . The album received a 5 × Platinum certification in the United States on March 15 , 2002 as well as a 3 × Platinum in Australia and Canada . Its singles `` Got the Life '' , and `` Freak on a Leash '' , both charted on more than three charts , and their music videos are considered to be the first music videos retired from MTV , most notably the MTV show Total Request Live .

Even though Korn was impressed by the work Ross Robinson had done on their previous albums , they decided to work with Steve Thompson and Toby Wright . Robinson did however work with singer Jonathan Davis as a vocal coach for the album . Korn was shown making the video on KornTV . The reason they exposed themselves making the album was because they wanted to let their fans see what they were doing in the studio and behind the scenes . Follow the Leader features numerous guest vocalists , including Ice Cube on `` Children of the Korn '' , Tre Hardson of The Pharcyde on `` Cameltosis '' and Limp Bizkit 's Fred Durst on `` All in the Family '' . The songs for the album were written and copyrighted in 1997 , with the exception of `` Children of the Korn '' , `` All in the Family '' and `` Cameltosis '' , which are copyrighted from 1998 . </P> <P> In a 2013 interview , the band revealed that they partied heavily during the production of Follow the Leader , with massive amounts of alcohol , drugs , and women in the studio . Davis explained further , saying that while recording the vocals for `` It 's On '' , there were `` people getting blowjobs right behind me , there was girls banging each other in front of me , people getting boned in the closet right behind me , it was the craziest shit I 've ever seen in my life and I sang that song . '' According to Davis , he only agreed to begin tracking vocals when producer Toby Wright met his demands for an eight - ball ( a one - eighth ounce of cocaine ) . </P> The hidden track `` Earache My Eye '' features comedian Cheech Marin of Cheech & Chong <H3> Photography and illustration ( edit ) </H3> <P> The artwork for Follow the Leader was done by Todd McFarlane Entertainment , with McFarlane and fellow Image Comics artists Greg Capullo ( penciller ) and Brian Haberlin ( colorist ) doing the album cover , and designer Brent Ashe handling the graphics work . According to drummer David Silveria , the band got interested in McFarlane after hearing that ``

is not caught by store security nor punished by her parents ; she spends most of the episode trying to figure out how to remedy the situation on her own . Although terms like `` hell '' and `` sex drive '' were occasionally uttered during the show 's run , most dialogue was kept family - friendly . One running gag involved her friend Sam often entering the scene by a ladder ( accompanied by a characteristic cord of guitar music ) through her bedroom window . A repeating theme during the series was the sibling rivalry between Clarissa and Ferguson , showing their repeated attempts to harm or even ( as in the series premiere ) to `` kill '' each other . </P> <P> Unique to the show was Clarissa 's tendency to tackle the episode 's central theme through the creation of a fictional video game . </P> <H2> Characters ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Main ( edit ) </H3> <Ul> <Li> Clarissa Marie Darling ( Melissa Joan Hart ) -- a smart , sarcastic and realistic teenage girl . Despite her rationalism , she often tends to exaggerate any problem she 's facing . She was approximately 14 years old when the series began and was a 9th grader at Thomas Tupper Junior High School . Her interests include computer game programming , photography , journalism and rock music . Though she is usually mild - mannered , she can be just as selfish and calculating as her younger brother Ferguson . Clarissa is best known for her unique fashion sense , typically involving very colorful , mismatched clothing . During Season 1 , Clarissa had an alligator named Elvis , but in the first episode of Season 2 , Clarissa explained that her parents sent Elvis back to Florida when he grew too big . In Mitchell Kriegman 's novel , Things I Ca n't Explain , Clarissa further elaborated that he `` disappeared under mysterious circumstances '' and `` it took years to get mom to confess that she gave away the reptilian Elvis without telling me after Ferguson tried to shove a pocket watch down its throat thinking it would win him the role of Captain Hook in the school play . '' </Li> <Li> Ferguson W. Darling ( Jason Zimbler ) -- Clarissa 's younger brother , a mischievous redhead . He and Clarissa continually antagonize each other . She refers to him with several epithets such as `` Ferg - face '' , `` Fergwad '' or `` Fergbreath . '' He loves money and comes up with get - rich - quick schemes . He is also a Young Republican who idolizes Dan Quayle and Ronald Reagan . He attends school with her and is about one or two years younger . Despite their rivalry , they occasionally collaborate , usually to the advantage of both . Unlike Clarissa , however , he does not seem to be very popular at school . </Li> <Li> Samuel `` Sam '' Anders ( Sean O'Neal ) -- Clarissa 's best friend and confidant . Generally more optimistic and upbeat than she is , he often asks `` What 's the worst that can happen ? '' He is perhaps best known for entering her second - story bedroom with a ladder after a distinctive guitar chord plays followed by Clarissa 's `` Hi , Sam '' greeting . He is smart and polite and enjoys skateboarding . His parents are divorced ( mentioned in the pilot ) . </Li> <Li> Janet Darling ( Elizabeth Hess ) -- Clarissa and Ferguson 's mother . She is the only family member Clarissa sees as a voice of reason and thus she seeks advice from her occasionally . She is a teacher who works at a children 's museum . She is also an environmentalist and an organic food enthusiast who often cooks bizarre meals . </Li> <Li> Marshall Darling ( Joe O'Connor ) -- Clarissa and Ferguson 's father . He is an architect who designs unusually shaped buildings , mostly retail and tourist attractions ( such as the `` Fryfel Tower '' ) . Clarissa sometimes comes to him for advice , but he is less reliable in this role than Janet . He often calls Clarissa `` sport '' , seldom addressing her by name . He and Janet are former flower children from the 1960s . </Li> </Ul> <H3> Recurring ( edit ) </H3> <Ul> <Li> Aunt Mafalda ( Heather MacRae ) -- Clarissa and Ferguson 's Canadian aunt whom Clarissa dislikes and tries to get rid of in two episodes in the first two seasons . </Li> <Li> Clifford Spleenhurfer ( David Eck ) -- Initially a bully who harassed Ferguson in Season 1 , he developed a crush on Clarissa when she stood up to him . She later misses his affections in Season 2 , and they begin a relationship which ends in Season 4 . He appeared in a total of five episodes , the most of any recurring character . His defining characteristic was a tremendous appetite , much to Marshall 's annoyance . </Li> <Li> Dr. Festerspoon ( Bob Noble ) -- The family doctor , who appears in two episodes in seasons 1 and 4 . </Li> <Li> Hillary O'Keefe ( Sara Burkhardt ) -- Clarissa 's friend from Thomas Tupper High , who appears in four episodes in seasons 2 and 3 . </Li> <Li> Deborah `` Debbie '' Anders ( Susan Greenhill ) -- Sam 's estranged mother who is often on the road with a traveling women 's Roller Derby team . She appears in a third - season episode where she tries to take custody of Sam and make him move to Seattle and again in the fourth season when she stays with the Darlings and becomes a burden . </Li> <Li> Olivia DuPris ( Nicole Leach ) -- Another one of Clarissa 's friends from high school , who appears in seasons 4 and 5 . </Li> <Li> The Soapersteins -- The

Capital punishment in New York - wikipedia <H1> Capital punishment in New York </H1> Jump to : navigation , search <P> Capital punishment is not in force in the State of New York . The last execution took place in 1963 , when Eddie Mays was electrocuted at Sing Sing Prison . The state was the first to adopt the electric chair as a method of execution , which replaced hanging . Following the U.S. Supreme Court 's ruling declaring existing capital punishment statutes unconstitutional in Furman v. Georgia ( 1972 ) , New York was without a death penalty until 1995 , when then - Governor George Pataki signed a new statute into law , which provided for execution by lethal injection . </P> <P> In June 2004 , the state 's highest court ruled in People v. LaValle that the state 's death penalty statute violated the state constitution , and New York has had an effective moratorium on capital punishment since then . Subsequent legislative attempts at fixing or replacing the statute have failed , and in 2008 then - Governor David Paterson issued an executive order disestablishing New York 's death row . Legislative efforts to amend the statute have failed , and death sentences are no longer sought at the state level , though certain crimes that fall under the jurisdiction of the federal government are subject to the federal death penalty . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Colonial period and statehood </Li> <Li> 2 Temporary abolition </Li> <Li> 3 Introduction of the electric chair </Li> <Li> 4 Statistics </Li> <Li> 5 Famous cases </Li> <Li> 6 Restrictions </Li> <Li> 7 Furman v.

In 1796 , New York abolished the death penalty for crimes other than murder and treason , but arson was made a capital crime in 1808 . </P> <H2> Temporary abolition ( edit ) </H2> <P> In 1860 , the New York Legislature passed a bill which effectively , though unintentionally , abolished capital punishment in the state , by repealing hanging as a method of execution without prescribing an alternative method . The bill was signed by Governor Edwin D. Morgan in April 1860 . The New York Court of Appeals ruled the statute unconstitutional , in part , as an ex post facto law . Governor Morgan signed legislation to restore the death penalty in 1861 , and again in 1862 to fully repeal the earlier statute . </P> <H2> Introduction of the electric chair ( edit ) </H2> William Kemmler was the first individual to be executed by electric chair , on August 6 , 1890 . Further information : Electric chair <P> In 1886 , newly elected New York State governor David B. Hill set up a three - member `` New York Commission '' to determine a new , more humane system of execution to replace hanging . The commission included the human rights advocate and reformer Elbridge Thomas Gerry , New York lawyer and politician Matthew Hale , and Buffalo dentist and experimenter Alfred P. Southwick . Southwick had been developing an idea since the early 1880s of using electric current as a means of capital punishment after hearing about how relatively painlessly and quickly a drunken man died due to grabbing the energized parts on a generator . Southwick had published this proposal first in 1882 and , being a dentist accustomed to performing procedures on subjects in chairs , used the form of a chair in his designs , which became known as the `` electric chair '' . The commission reviewed ancient and modern forms of execution including lethal injection but finally settled on electrocution in 1888 . A bill making electrocution New York State 's form of execution passed the legislature and was signed by Governor Hill on June 4 , 1888 , set to go into effect on January 1 , 1889 . </P> <P> The first individual to be executed in the electric chair was William Kemmler , on August 6 , 1890 . Current was passed through Kemmler for 17 seconds and he was declared dead , but witnesses noticed he was still breathing , and the current was turned back on . From start to finish , the execution took eight minutes . During the execution , blood vessels under the skin ruptured and bled , and some witness reported that Kemmler 's body set on fire . </P> <H2> Statistics ( edit ) </H2> Main article : List of people executed in New York <P> From 1890 to 1963 , 695 people were executed in New York . The first was William Kemmler on August 6 , 1890 , and the last was Eddie Lee Mays on August 15 , 1963 . Kemmler was the first person in the world known to be executed in an electric chair . Except for four individuals , all of the people executed during this period were convicted of murder . The four exceptions were Joseph Sacoda and Demetrius Gula , who were convicted of kidnapping and executed January 11 , 1940 , and Julius and Ethel Rosenberg , who were convicted of espionage and executed June 19 , 1953 . </P> <H2> Famous cases ( edit ) </H2> Raymond Fernandez ( left ) and Martha Beck ( right ) . <P> In 1901 , Leon Czolgosz was electrocuted

The area is highly mineralized ( the Colorado Mineral Belt ) and figured in the gold and silver mining industry of early Colorado . Major towns , all old mining camps , include Creede , Lake City , Silverton , Ouray , and Telluride . Large scale mining has ended in the region , although independent prospectors still work claims throughout the range . The last large scale mines were the Sunnyside Mine near Silverton , which operated until late in the 20th century and the Idarado Mine on Red Mountain Pass that closed down in the 1970s . Famous old San Juan mines include the Camp Bird and Smuggler Union mines , both located between Telluride and Ouray . </P> <P> The Summitville mine was the scene of a major environmental disaster in the 1990s when the liner of a cyanide - laced tailing pond began leaking heavily . Summitville is in the Summitville caldera , one of many extinct volcanoes making up the San Juan volcanic field . One , La Garita Caldera , is 35 miles ( 56 km ) in diameter . Large beds of lava , some extending under the floor of the San Luis Valley , are characteristic of the eastern slope of the San Juans . </P> <P> Tourism is now a major part of the regional economy , with the narrow gauge railway between Durango and Silverton being an attraction in the summer . Jeeping is popular on the old trails which linked the historic mining camps , including the notorious Black Bear Road . Visiting old ghost towns is popular , as is wilderness trekking and mountain climbing . Many of the old mining camps are now popular sites of summer homes . Though the San Juans are extremely steep and receive a lot of snow , so far only Telluride has made the transition to a major ski resort . Purgatory Resort , once known as Durango Mountain Resort , is a small ski area 26 miles north of Durango . There is also skiing on Wolf Creek Pass at the Wolf Creek ski area . Recently Silverton Mountain ski area has begun operation near Silverton . </P> <P> The Rio Grande drains the east side of the range . The other side of the San Juans , the western slope of the continental divide , is drained by tributaries of the San Juan , Dolores and Gunnison rivers , which all flow into the Colorado River . </P> <P> The San Juan and Uncompahgre National Forests cover a large portion of the San Juan Mountains . </P> <P> The San Juan Mountains are also distinctive for their high altitude plateaus and peaks . As a result , facilities in the towns and cities of the region are among the highest in the nation .

. <P> The history of religion in early Virginia begins with the commencing of Anglican services in Jamestown 1607 , which became the established church in 1619 , and culminates with the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom in 1786 . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Established church <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Anglican parishes </Li> <Li> 1.2 Missionaries </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Alternatives to the established church <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Presbyterians </Li> <Li> 2.2 Baptists </Li> <Li> 2.3 Methodists </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Religious freedom and disestablishment </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 Further reading <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Primary sources </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Established church ( edit ) </H2> The Bruton Parish Church in Williamsburg . Government and college officials in the capital at Williamsburg were required to attend services at this Anglican church . <P> The Church of England was legally established in the colony in 1619 , and authorities in England sent in 22 Anglican clergyman by 1624 . In practice , establishment meant that local taxes were funneled through the local parish to handle the needs of local government , such as roads and poor relief , in addition to the salary of the minister . There never was a bishop in colonial Virginia , and in practice the local vestry consisting of laymen controlled the parish . </P> <H3> Anglican parishes ( edit ) </H3> <P> After five very difficult years , during which the majority of the new arrivals quickly died , the colony began to grow more successfully . As in England , the parish became a unit of local importance , equal in power and practical aspects to other entities , such as the courts and even the House of Burgesses and the Governor 's Council ( the two houses of the Virginia General Assembly ) . ( A parish was normally led spiritually by a rector and governed by a committee of members generally respected in the community which was known as the vestry ) . A typical parish contained three or four churches , as the parish churches needed to be close enough for people to travel to worship services , where attendance was expected of everyone . Parishes typically had a church farm ( or `` glebe '' ) to help support it financially . </P> <P> Expansion and subdivision of the church parishes and , after 1634 , the shires ( or counties ) followed population growth . The intention of the Virginia parish system was to place a church not more than six miles ( 10 km ) - easy riding distance - from every home in the colony . The shires , soon after initial establishment in 1634 known as `` counties '' , were planned to be not more than a day 's ride from all residents , so that court and other business could be attended to in a practical manner . </P> <P> In the 1740s , the established Anglican church had about 70 parish priests around the colony . There was no bishop , and indeed , there was fierce political opposition to having a bishop in the colony . The Anglican priests were supervised directly by the Bishop of London . Each county court gave tax money to the local vestry , composed of prominent laymen . The vestry provided the priest a glebe of 200 or 300 acres ( 1.2 km ) , a house , and perhaps some livestock . The vestry paid him an annual salary of 16,000 pounds - of - tobacco , plus 20 shillings for every wedding and funeral . While not poor , the priests lived modestly and their opportunities for improvement were slim . </P> <H3> Missionaries ( edit ) </H3> 19th - century depiction of the baptism of Pocahontas by John Gadsby Chapman <P> Religious leaders in England felt they had a duty as missionaries to bring Christianity ( or more specifically , the religious practices and beliefs of the Church of England in contrast to the Latin incursion of Central and South America ) , to the Native Americans . There was an assumption that their own `` mistaken '' spiritual beliefs were largely the result of a lack of education and literacy , since the Powhatan did not have need for a written language . Therefore , teaching them these skills would logically result in what the English saw as `` enlightenment '' in their religious practices , and bring them into the fold of the church , which was part of the government , and hence , a form of control . One of the earliest of these missionaries was Reverend Alexander Whitaker , who served from 1611 until his death in 1616 . </P> <P> The efforts to educate and convert the natives were minimal , though the Indian school remained open until the Revolution . Apart from the Nansemond tribe , which had converted in 1638 , and a few isolated individuals over the years , the other Powhatan tribes as a whole did not fully convert to Christianity until 1791 . </P> <H2> Alternatives to the established church ( edit ) </H2> <P> The colonists were typically inattentive , uninterested , and bored during church services , according to the ministers , who complained that the people were sleeping , whispering , ogling the fashionably dressed women , walking about and coming and going , or at best looking out the windows or staring blankly into space . The lack of towns means the church had to serve scattered settlements , while the acute shortage of trained ministers meant that piety was hard to practice outside the home . Some ministers solved this problem by encouraging parishioners to become devout at home , using the Book of Common Prayer for private prayer and devotion . This allowed devout Anglicans to lead an active and sincere religious life apart from the unpopular formal church services . However the stress on private devotion weakened the need

List of Manchester United F.C. Managers - wikipedia <H1> List of Manchester United F.C. Managers </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Sir Alex Ferguson , the most decorated manager in the history of Manchester United <P> Manchester United Football Club is an English professional football club based in Old Trafford , Greater Manchester . The club was formed in Newton Heath in 1878 as Newton Heath LYR F.C. , and played their first competitive match in October 1886 , when they entered the First Round of the 1886 -- 87 FA Cup . The club was renamed Manchester United F.C. in 1902 , and moved to Old Trafford in 1910 . </P> <P> From the beginning of the club 's official managerial records in 1892 to the start of the 2017 -- 18 season , Manchester United have had 22 full - time managers . The current manager is José Mourinho who took over from Louis van Gaal on 27 May 2016 . </P> <P> The longest - serving and most successful person to manage Manchester United is Sir Alex Ferguson , who won 13 Premier League titles , five FA Cups , four League Cups , 10 Community Shields , two UEFA Champions League titles , one UEFA Cup Winners ' Cup , one UEFA Super Cup , one Intercontinental Cup and one FIFA Club World Cup in his managerial reign of more than 26 years . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Managerial history </Li> <Li> 2 Statistics </Li> <Li> 3 Notes </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Managerial History ( edit ) </H2> <P> From 1878 to 1914 , the team was selected by a committee whose secretary had the same powers and role as a manager has today . There were four secretaries during this period , A.H. Albut , James West , Ernest Mangnall and John Bentley . </P> <P> Ernest Mangnall was the first man to bring any major silverware to the club , winning the club 's first ever Football League title in 1908 . This was followed by the FA Cup the following season , and another league title in 1911 . Despite this success , though , he left the club a year later to join local rivals Manchester City . Coincidentally , Mangnall 's last match in charge of United was the Old Trafford derby of 7 September 1912 . John Bentley took over as club secretary , but was replaced two years later by Jack Robson , who became the club 's first full - time manager . He remained in the post for seven years , but resigned in December 1921 after succumbing to a bout of pneumonia . </P> <P> Robson was followed soon after by John Chapman . However , in Chapman 's first season at the club , they were relegated to the Second Division for the first time since 1906 . Three years in the Second Division followed , before promotion back to the First Division . After guiding the club to 9th place in the league and the FA Cup semi-finals in 1925 -- 26 , Chapman received a telegram from the Football Association on 8 October 1926 informing him of his suspension from management for the rest of the season ; no reason was given . Half - back Lal Hilditch took over for the remainder of the season , before Herbert Bamlett took permanent control . </P> <P> Bamlett was manager for four years , but was unable to muster any success , the club 's highest position during his reign being 12th . The club was relegated to the Second Division again in 1931 , and Bamlett was replaced by club secretary Walter Crickmer . This was Crickmer 's first of two spells as manager of the club , retaining his position as secretary all the while . It lasted only a season , though , as he failed to return the club to the First Division . In June 1932 , Scott Duncan was appointed as manager , but in his second season in charge he led the club to what remains a club record lowest League position ; 20th in the Second Division . The club held faith in Duncan though , and he managed to get the club back into the First Division by 1936 . However , the club was relegated again the following year , and Walter Crickmer resumed control until the end of the Second World War . </P> <P> Before the end of the war , the club approached Matt Busby , who had just turned down the opportunity to join the coaching staff at Liverpool , on the grounds that he wanted more responsibility over the playing side of the club than merely the selection of the team . United allowed Busby the responsibilities he requested , and in his first five seasons in charge he guided the team to four second - place finishes in the league , before finally winning his first title in 1952 . He soon set about replacing many of the more experienced players with a group of youths who came to be known as the `` Busby Babes '' . This team went on to win two league titles in 1955 -- 56 and 1956 -- 57 , as well as reaching two FA Cup finals . Unfortunately , the careers of many of the players were cut short by the Munich air disaster , which also left Busby fighting for his life . </P> <P> While Busby was in hospital recovering from the injuries he sustained in the air crash , his managerial duties were left to his assistant , Jimmy Murphy . After Busby recovered , he set about rebuilding his side , and within five years , in 1963 , he had won the FA Cup for the first time in 15 years . This was followed up by two league titles in three years , and then the greatest prize in

History of the domestic sheep - wikipedia <H1> History of the domestic sheep </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Sheep shearers , Flanders , from the Grimani Breviary c. 1510 `` Valach '' from Brumov in Moravian Wallachia , 1787 . Shepherding was a traditional occupation of Romanians , and as they colonised the northern Carpathian range and eventually assimilated , their exonym `` Vlach '' became synonymous with `` shepherd '' . <P> The history of the domesticated sheep goes back to between 11000 and 9000 BC , and the domestication of the wild mouflon in ancient Mesopotamia . Sheep are among the first animals to have been domesticated by humans , and there is evidence of sheep farming in Iranian statuary dating to that time period . These sheep were primarily raised for meat , milk , and skins . Woolly sheep began to be developed around 6000 BC in Iran , and cultures such as the Persians relied on sheep 's wool for trading . They were then imported to Africa and Europe via trading . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Wild ancestors </Li> <Li> 2 In Asia <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Domestication </Li> <Li> 2.2 Modern <Ul> <Li> 2.2. 1 Middle East </Li> <Li> 2.2. 2 India </Li> <Li> 2.2. 3 China </Li> <Li> 2.2. 4 Japan </Li> <Li> 2.2. 5 Mongolia </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 In Africa </Li> <Li> 4 In Europe </Li> <Li> 5 In the Americas <Ul> <Li> 5.1 North America </Li> <Li> 5.2 South America </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 In Australia and New Zealand <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Animal welfare concerns </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 Footnotes </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Wild ancestors ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Domestic sheep The mouflon is thought to be the primary ancestor of domestic sheep . <P> The exact line of descent between domestic sheep and their wild ancestors is unclear . The most common hypothesis states that Ovis aries is descended from the Asiatic ( O. orientalis ) species of mouflon . A few breeds of sheep , such as the Castlemilk Moorit from Scotland , were formed through crossbreeding with wild European mouflon . </P> <P> The urial ( O. vignei ) was once thought to have been a forebear of domestic sheep , as they occasionally interbreed with mouflon in the Iranian part of their range . However , the urial , argali ( O. ammon ) , and snow sheep ( O. nivicola ) have a different number of chromosomes than other Ovis species , making a direct relationship implausible , and phylogenetic studies show no evidence of urial ancestry . Further studies comparing European and Asian breeds of sheep showed significant genetic differences between the two . Two explanations for this phenomenon have been posited . The first explanation is that a currently unknown species or subspecies of wild sheep that contributed to the formation of domestic sheep . The second explanation is that this variation is the result of multiple waves of capture from wild mouflon , similar to the known development of other livestock . </P> <P> One chief difference between ancient sheep and modern breeds is the technique by which wool could be collected . Primitive sheep can be shorn , but many can have their wool plucked out by hand in a process called `` rooing '' . Rooing helps to leave behind the coarse fibers called kemps which are still longer than the soft fleece . The fleece may also be collected from the field after it falls out naturally . This rooing trait survives today in unrefined breeds such as the Soay and many Shetlands . Indeed , the Soay , along with other Northern European breeds with short tails , naturally rooing fleece , diminutive size , and horns in both sexes , are closely related to ancient sheep . Originally , weaving and spinning wool was a handicraft practiced at home , rather than an industry . Babylonians , Sumerians , and Persians all depended on sheep ; and although linen was the first fabric to be fashioned in to clothing , wool was a prized product . The raising of flocks for their fleece was one of the earliest industries , and flocks were a medium of exchange in barter economies . Numerous biblical figures kept large flocks , and subjects of the king of Israel were taxed according to the number of rams they owned . </P> <H2> In Asia ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Domestication ( edit ) </H3> <P> Sheep were among the first animals to be domesticated by humankind ( although the domestication of dogs may be over 20,000 years earlier ) ; the domestication date is estimated to fall between 11,000 and 9,000 B.C in Mesopotamia . Their wild relatives have several characteristics , such as a relative lack of aggression , a manageable size , early sexual maturity , a social nature , and high reproduction rates , which made them particularly suitable for domestication . Today , Ovis aries is an entirely domesticated animal that is largely dependent on humans for its health and survival . Feral sheep do exist , but exclusively in areas devoid of large predators ( usually islands ) and not on the scale of feral horses , goats , pigs , or dogs , although some feral populations have remained isolated long enough to be recognized as distinct breeds . </P> <P> The rearing of sheep for secondary products , and the resulting breed development , began in either southwest Asia or western Europe . Initially , sheep were kept solely for meat , milk and skins . Archaeological evidence from statuary found at sites in Iran suggests that selection for woolly sheep may have begun around 6000 BC , and the earliest woven wool garments have been dated to two to three thousand years later . Before this , when a sheep was slaughtered for its meat , the hide would be tanned and worn

The implantation window occurs around 6 days after the peak in luteinizing hormone levels . With some disparity between sources , it has been stated to occur from 7 days after ovulation until 9 days after ovulation , or days 6 - 10 postovulation . On average , it occurs during the 20th to the 23rd day after the last menstrual period . </P> <P> The implantation window is characterized by changes to the endometrium cells , which aid in the absorption of the uterine fluid . These changes are collectively known as the plasma membrane transformation and bring the blastocyst nearer to the endometrium and immobilize it . During this stage the blastocyst can still be eliminated by being flushed out of the uterus . Scientists have hypothesized that the hormones cause a swelling that fills the flattened out uterine cavity just prior to this stage , which may also help press the blastocyst against the endometrium . The implantation window may also be initiated by other preparations in the endometrium of the uterus , both structurally and in the composition of its secretions . </P> <H2> Adaptation of uterus ( edit ) </H2> <P> To enable implantation , the uterus goes through changes in order to be able to receive the conceptus . </P> <H3> Predecidualization ( edit ) </H3> <P> The endometrium increases thickness , becomes vascularized and its glands grow to be tortuous and boosted in their secretions . These changes reach their maximum about 7 days after ovulation . </P> <P> Furthermore , the surface of the endometrium produces a kind of rounded cells , which cover the whole area toward the uterine cavity . This happens about 9 to 10 days after ovulation . These cells are called decidual cells , which emphasises that the whole layer of them is shed off in every menstruation if no pregnancy occurs , just as leaves of deciduous trees . The uterine glands , on the other hand , decrease in activity and degenerate already 8 to 9 days after ovulation in absence of pregnancy . </P> <P> The decidual cells originate from the stromal cells that are always present in the endometrium . However , the decidual cells make up a new layer , the decidua . The rest of the endometrium , in addition , expresses differences between the luminal and the basal sides . The luminal cells form the zona compacta of the endometrium , in contrast to the basalolateral zona spongiosa , which consists of the rather spongy stromal cells . </P> <H3> Decidualization ( edit ) </H3> <P> Decidualization succeeds predecidualization if pregnancy occurs . This is an expansion of it , further developing the uterine glands , the zona compacta and the epithelium of decidual cells lining it . The decidual cells become filled with lipids and glycogen and take the polyhedral shape characteristic for decidual cells . </P> Trigger ( edit ) <P> It is likely that the blastocyst itself makes the main contribution to this additional growing and sustaining of the decidua . An indication of this is that decidualization occurs at a higher degree in conception cycles than in nonconception cycles . Furthermore , similar changes are observed when giving stimuli mimicking the natural invasion of the embryo . </P> Parts of decidua ( edit ) <P> The decidua can be organized into separate sections , although they have the same composition . </P> <Ul>

Initially , nine countries placed bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup , but Mexico later withdrew from proceedings , and Indonesia 's bid was rejected by FIFA in February 2010 after the Indonesian government failed to submit a letter to support the bid . During the bidding process , the three remaining non-UEFA nations ( Australia , Japan , and the United States ) gradually withdrew from the 2018 bids , and the UEFA nations were thus ruled out of the 2022 bid . As such , there were eventually four bids for the 2018 FIFA World Cup , two of which were joint bids : England , Russia , Netherlands / Belgium , and Portugal / Spain . </P> <P> The twenty - two - member FIFA Executive Committee convened in Zürich on 2 December 2010 to vote to select the hosts of both tournaments . Russia won the right to be the 2018 host in the second round of voting . The Portugal / Spain bid came second , and that from Belgium / Netherlands third .

He was then a student of medicine in the Universidad Central de Madrid . </P> <P> In a reunion of Filipinos at the house of his friend Pedro A. Paterno in Madrid on 2 January 1884 , Rizal proposed the writing of a novel about the Philippines written by a group of Filipinos . His proposal was unanimously approved by the Filipinos present at the time , among whom were Pedro ,

Red Bull car <P> In 1976 , Chaleo Yoovidhya introduced a drink called Krating Daeng in Thailand , which means `` red gaur '' in English . It was popular among Thai truck drivers and labourers . While working for German manufacturer Blendax ( later acquired by Procter & Gamble ) in 1982 , Dietrich Mateschitz travelled to Thailand and met Chaleo , owner of T.C. Pharmaceutical . During his visit , Mateschitz discovered that Krating Daeng helped cure his jet lag . In 1984 , Mateschitz co-founded Red Bull GmbH with Yoovidhya and turned it into an international brand . Each partner invested US $500,000 of savings to found the company . Yoovidhya and Mateschitz each held a 49 percent share of the new company . They gave the remaining two percent to Yoovidhya 's son , Chalerm , but it was agreed that Mateschitz would run the company . The product was launched in Austria in 1987 . </P> <P> In Thailand , energy drinks are most popular with blue - collar workers . Red Bull re-positioned the drink as a trendy , upscale drink , first introducing it at Austrian ski resorts . Pricing was a key differentiator , with Red Bull positioned as a premium drink and Krating Daeng as a lower cost item . In many countries both drinks are available , dominating both ends of the price spectrum . </P> <P> In 1992 , the product expanded to international markets : Hungary and Slovenia . It entered the United States via California in 1997 and the Middle East in 2000 . In 2008 , Forbes magazine listed both Chaleo and Mateschitz as the 250th richest people in the world with an estimated net worth of US $4 billion . </P> <P> Red Bull GmbH is headquartered in Fuschl am See , an Austrian village of about 1,500 inhabitants near Salzburg . The company is 51 percent controlled by the Yoovidhya family who , for technical reasons , own the trademark in Europe and the US . </P> <P> In 1995 , Krating Daeng authorized its drink . labelled as Red Bull , to be sold in China . Since 2014 , the Austrian Red Bull ( carbonated ) has also been exported to China . This has created confusion since both drinks use the same brand name , in both English and Chinese . </P> <P> Similarly , in Southeast Asia , Red Bull and Krating Daeng are often confused as both use the Red Bull name in their packaging , although they are two separate products aimed at different markets . The main difference is that Red Bull comes in a tall blue and silver can while the Thailand Red Bull , or Krating Daeng , is in a smaller gold can . The two drinks also differ in terms of taste -- - Red Bull has less sugar and is carbonated . The flavouring used for Red Bull is still produced in Bangkok and exported worldwide . </P> <H2> Ingredients ( edit ) </H2> <P> Red Bull contains caffeine , taurine , B vitamins ( B3 , B5 , B6 , B12 ) , sucrose , and glucose . To produce Red Bull Sugarfree , sugars sucrose and glucose have been replaced by the sweeteners acesulfame K and aspartame / sucralose . </P> <H2> Health effects ( edit ) </H2> Further information : Energy drinks § Effects <P> Claims about the drink 's effects and performance have been challenged on various occasions , with the UK 's Advertising Standards Authority imposing advertising restrictions in 2001 in response to complaints recorded as early as 1997 . </P> <P> The latest dietary guidelines from the U.S. suggest that moderate caffeine intake may not only be safe , but also healthy . Studies from the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services show that daily consumption of the amount of caffeine contained in three to five cups of coffee is not only safe , but also appears to reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease in adults . Caffeine may even protect against Parkinson 's disease , the evidence suggests . </P> <P> Energy drinks have the effects that caffeine and sugar provide , but experts still argue about the possible effects of the other ingredients . Most of the effects of energy drinks on cognitive performance , such as increased attention and reaction speed , are primarily due to the presence of caffeine . Still there is evidence that energy drinks can increase mental and athletic

These documents had existed since 1941 . In earlier versions of the form ( 1 November 1972 ) it was called a `` Report of Separation from Active Duty '' ; the current title dates from 1 July 1979 . </P> <P> DD Form 214 is the capstone military service document , as it represents the complete , verified record of a service member 's time in the military ( Active and Reserve ) , awards and medals , and other pertinent service information , such as highest rank / rate and pay grade held on active duty , total military combat service and / or overseas service , Military Occupational Specialty ( MOS ) , Air Force Specialty Code ( AFSC ) or Navy officer designator , Navy Officer Billet Code ( NOBC ) , Additional Qualification Designation ( ACD ) or Navy Enlisted Classification ( NEC ) identifiers and a record of training and schools completed . Individuals who served exclusively in the Air National Guard or Army National Guard do not receive a DD Form 214 , but will receive a form called NGB - 22 from the National Guard Bureau . </P> <P> The DD Form 214 is commonly used by various government agencies , chief among them the Department of Veterans Affairs , to secure veteran benefits , and may be requested by employers should a person indicate he or she has served in the military . </P> <P> This document also contains codes used by the Armed Forces to describe a former servicemember 's reason for discharge and , in the case of enlisted personnel , their reenlistment eligibility . These codes are known as Separation Designator / Separation Justification ( abbreviated as SPD / SJC ) Codes and Reenlistment Eligibility ( RE ) Codes , respectively . </P> <P> DD Form 214 is also generally required by funeral directors in order to immediately prove eligibility for interment in VA cemetery and / or obtaining a grave marker and / or provide military honors to a deceased veteran . On September 1 , 2000 , the National Defense Authorization Act enabled , upon the family 's request , every eligible veteran to receive a military funeral honors ceremony to include the folding and presentation of the United States burial flag and the sounding of Taps , at no cost to the family . </P> <P> Copies of DD Form 214s are typically maintained by the government as part of a service member 's 201 file or OMPF ( Official Military Personnel File ) .

All but Member 1 , the `` short form '' copy , contain information as to the nature and type of discharge , and the re-enlistment code . This code is used to determine whether or not the service member can go back into the service . For unemployment benefits , veterans affairs benefits , as well as for several other services , the `` Member 's Copy 4 '' is usually requested but any other `` long form '' copy is acceptable . All eight copies are identical except Member 1 , the `` short form , '' which lacks this critical information . The military will not provide a replacement `` Member 's Copy 4 '' ( it is the service member 's personal copy and physically given to him at separation ) and any request for a replacement is always honored by providing a `` Service 2 , '' `` Service 7 '' or `` Service 8 '' copy .

to solidify the SANFL 's control of game development and the sport in South Australia . </P> 2015 : death of Phil Walsh ( edit ) <P> The 2015 season started successfully for the Adelaide Football Club with a 77 - point win over reigning preliminary finalists North Melbourne . Newly appointed coach Phil Walsh oversaw a rapidly improving team that became known for their skilled ball use and ability to grind out wins . During the season , Adelaide was cleared of any wrongdoing by the AFL in the Eddie Betts affair , which became newsworthy following an allegation that Betts 's transfer to the Crows from Carlton had been illegally signed and approved as much as 18 months prior to his move . </P> Fans gather at Adelaide Oval to pay tribute to Phil Walsh . <P> On 3 July , two days prior to Adelaide 's then - scheduled round 14 match against Geelong , coach Phil Walsh was the victim of murder by his son and died from multiple stab wounds at the age of 55 . The tragedy was followed by an outpouring of sympathy and tributes from the club 's fans and the wider AFL community . The match against the Cats was cancelled , with both teams receiving two premiership points each . Adelaide 's SANFL team 's match against South Adelaide , scheduled for the next day , was postponed until later in the season . On 6 July , assistant coach Scott Camporeale was appointed interim coach for the remainder of the season , while West Coast premiership coach John Worsfold was hired as coaching director to support Camporeale . Inspiringly , the team rebounded to win six of their next seven games and qualify for the 2015 finals series , where they defeated the Western Bulldogs by seven points in a thrilling elimination final at the MCG . Their season ended when they lost to eventual premiers Hawthorn the next week . </P> 2016 -- present : Don Pyke era ( edit ) <P> Star midfielder for many years Patrick Dangerfield left the club at the end of the 2015 season ( a season in which he won the club 's best and fairest ) and Don Pyke , a former premiership player and assistant coach with West Coast who had also been an assistant coach at Adelaide from 2005 to 2006 , was appointed Adelaide 's senior coach for at least three years . Adelaide was widely tipped to slide out of the finals in 2016 but the Crows proved to be one of the successes of the season , comfortably qualifying for a home elimination final and defeating North Melbourne by 62 points , before being eliminated the next week by eventual beaten grand finalists , Sydney in the semi-finals . The club had a dominant 2017 season , winning their opening six games and never falling below second place for the entire season . Adelaide claimed their second McClelland Trophy as minor premiers . The Adelaide Crows entered the 2017 finals series as favourites for the premiership ; they defeated Greater Western Sydney and Geelong by 36 and 61 points respectively to qualify for the Grand Final , their first since 1998 , where they faced Richmond . Despite starting as favourites , the Crows lost the match by 48 points . </P> <H2> Club symbols ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Club guernsey ( edit ) </H3> <P> Adelaide currently has three guernsey designs which are used in different matches throughout the season . </P> Present ( edit ) <Dl> <Dt> Home guernsey </Dt> </Dl> <P> The home guernsey features navy blue , red and gold hoops . It is worn at all matches designated as home games for the club as well as in selected away games ( currently only Geelong , Port Adelaide and Sydney ) . The jumper is worn with navy shorts at all home and away games , except for away Showdowns , where it is paired with white shorts . It has had minor variations through its history since debuting with the club in 1991 , including adding a white outline to the numbers in 1996 , and the removal of yellow cuffs and addition of navy blue panels down the sides ( due to manufacturers template design ) in 2006 . In 2009 the yellow cuffs and full hoops returned . In 2010 the hoops were cut off again at the sides . For 2016 , the club removed the side panels , returning to the full hoops of the original design . The original base design / idea has never changed in the clubs 27 - year history . </P> <Dl> <Dt> Clash guernsey </Dt> </Dl> <P> The clash guernsey is a predominantly white based design , worn in away games where the standard home guernsey may cause a clash of colours with the home team . It features three hoops around the sternum in the clubs colours of red , yellow and navy blue , and is always worn with white shorts . The current clash guernsey was introduced in 2016 , and is more similar to the home strip than those of previous years . </P> <Dl> <Dt> Alternative guernsey </Dt> </Dl> <P> The alternative guernsey is the same design as the clash guernsey , but with a gold base instead of white . It is worn in away games in which it provides a greater contrast with the home team than either the home or white clash guernseys . These team are North Melbourne , Carlton , Fremantle and Western Bulldogs football clubs . It is always worn with white shorts . </P> Past ( edit ) <P> In previous seasons , the Crows have had variations of alternate guernseys . </P> <Dl> <Dt> Pre-season guernsey ( 1996 -- 98 ) </Dt> </Dl> <P> The club briefly used an alternate design in the pre-season competition . It was still in the club colours , but featured the club logo prominently on the front and continuing over onto the back .

It runs from its two heads just above the knee to the heel , a two joint muscle . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Structure <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Variation </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Function </Li> <Li> 3 Motor pathway </Li> <Li> 4 Clinical significance </Li> <Li> 5 History </Li> <Li> 6 Additional images </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Structure ( edit ) </H2> <P> The gastrocnemius is located with the soleus in the posterior ( back ) compartment of the leg . The lateral head originates from the lateral condyle of the femur , while the medial head originates from the medial condyle of the femur . Its other end forms a common tendon with the soleus muscle ; this tendon is known as the calcaneal tendon or Achilles Tendon and inserts onto the posterior surface of the calcaneus , or heel bone . Further , it is considered a superficial muscle as it is located directly under skin , so its shape is clearly visible in a normal human being . </P> <P> Deep to the gastrocnemius ( farther from the skin ) is the soleus muscle . Some anatomists consider both to be a single muscle , the triceps surae or `` three - headed ( muscle ) of the calf '' , since they share a common insertion via the Achilles tendon . The plantaris muscle and a portion of its tendon run between the two muscles , which is involved in `` locking '' the knee from the standing position . Since the anterior compartment of the leg is lateral to the tibia , the bulge of muscle medial to the tibia on the anterior side is actually the posterior compartment . The soleus is superficial to the mid-shaft of the tibia . </P> <H3> Variation ( edit ) </H3> <P> 10 % to 30 % of individuals have a sesamoid bone called the `` fabella '' in the lateral ( outer ) head of gastrocnemius muscle . </P> <H2> Function ( edit ) </H2> <P> Along with the soleus muscle , the gastrocnemius forms half of the calf muscle . Its function is plantar flexing the foot at the ankle joint and flexing the leg at the knee joint . </P> <P> The gastrocnemius is primarily involved in running , jumping and other `` fast '' movements of leg , and to a lesser degree in walking and standing . This specialization is connected to the predominance of white muscle fibers ( type II fast twitch ) present in the gastrocnemius , as opposed to the soleus , which has more red muscle fibers ( type I slow twitch ) and is the primary active muscle when standing still , as determined by EMG studies . </P> <H2> Motor pathway ( edit ) </H2> <P> The plan to use the gastrocnemius in running , jumping , knee and plantar flexing is created in the precentral gyrus in the cerebrum of the brain . Once a plan is produced , the signal is sent to and down an upper motor neuron . The signal is passed through the internal capsule and decussates , or crosses , in the medulla oblongata , specifically in the lateral corticospinal tract . The signal continues down through the anterior horn of the spinal cord where the upper motor neuron synapses with the lower motor neuron . Signal propagation continues down the anterior rami ( Lumbar 4 - 5 and Sacral 1 - 5 ) of the sacral plexus . The sciatic nerve branches off of the sacral plexus in which the tibial and common fibular nerves are wrapped in one sheath . The tibial nerve eventually separates from the sciatic nerve and innervates the gastrocnemius muscle . Thus , completing the plan the brain had originally started with , so that the actions of running , standing , and jumping could be executed . </P> <H2> Clinical significance ( edit ) </H2> <P> The gastrocnemius muscle is prone to spasms , which are painful , involuntary contractions of the muscle that may last several minutes . </P> <P> A severe ankle dorsiflexion force may result in an injury of the muscle , commonly referred to as a `` torn '' or `` strained '' calf muscle , which is acutely painful and disabling . </P> Ultrasound of medial gastrocnemius strain <P> The gastrocnemius muscle may also become inflamed due to overuse . Anti-inflammatory medications and physical therapy ( heat , massage , and stretching ) may be useful . </P> <P> Anatomical abnormalities involving the medial head of gastrocnemius muscle result in popliteal artery entrapment syndrome . </P> <H2> History (

It was written by Michael Jackson and Lionel Richie ( with arrangements by Michael Omartian ) and produced by Quincy Jones for the album We Are the World . With sales in excess of 20 million copies , it is one of the fewer than 30 all - time physical singles to have sold at least 10 million copies worldwide . </P> <P> Following Band Aid 's 1984 `` Do They Know It 's Christmas ? '' project in the United Kingdom , an idea for the creation of an American benefit single for African famine relief came from activist Harry Belafonte , who , along with fundraiser Ken Kragen , was instrumental in bringing the vision to reality . Several musicians were contacted by the pair , before Jackson and Richie were assigned the task of writing the song . The duo completed the writing of `` We Are the World '' seven weeks after the release of `` Do They Know It 's Christmas ? '' , and one night before the song 's first recording session , on January 21 , 1985 . The historic event brought together some of the most famous artists in the music industry at the time . </P> <P> The song was released on March 7 , 1985 , as the only single from the album . A worldwide commercial success , it topped music charts throughout the world and became the fastest - selling American pop single in history . The first ever single to be certified multi-platinum , `` We Are the World '' received a Quadruple Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America . </P> <P> Awarded numerous honors -- including three Grammy Awards , one American Music Award , and a People 's Choice Award -- the song was promoted with a critically received music video , a home video , a special edition magazine , a simulcast , and several books , posters , and shirts .

He planned to have the proceeds donated to a new organization called United Support of Artists for Africa ( USA for Africa ) . The non-profit foundation would then feed and relieve starving people in Africa , specifically Ethiopia , where around one million people died during the country 's 1983 -- 1985 famine . The idea followed Band Aid 's `` Do They Know It 's Christmas ? '' project in the UK , which Belafonte had heard about . In the activist 's plans , money would also be set aside to help eliminate hunger in the United States of America . Entertainment manager and fellow fundraiser Ken Kragen was contacted by Belafonte , who asked for singers Lionel Richie and Kenny Rogers -- Kragen 's clients -- to participate in Belafonte 's musical endeavor .

Kip , 32 , is unemployed and boasts of spending hours on Internet chat rooms with his girlfriends and aspiring to be a cage fighter . Napoleon daydreams his way through school , doodling ligers and fantasy creatures and reluctantly deals with the various bullies who torment him , particularly the obnoxious sports jock , Don . Napoleon likes to make up stories about himself and his outlandish `` skills '' while having a sullen and aloof personality . </P> <P> Napoleon 's grandmother breaks her coccyx in a quad - bike accident and asks their Uncle Rico to look after the boys while she recovers . Rico , a middle - aged and flirtatious steak - loving former athlete who lives in a campervan , treats Napoleon like a child . He uses the visiting opportunity to team up with Kip in a get - rich - quick scheme to sell numerous items door - to - door . Kip wants money to visit his Internet girlfriend LaFawnduh while Rico believes riches will help him get over his failed dreams of NFL stardom and his recent breakup with his girlfriend . </P> <P> Napoleon becomes friends with two students at his school : Deb , a shy girl who runs various small businesses to raise money for college ; and Pedro , a bold yet calm transfer student from Juarez , Mexico .

He originally came up with the idea of an `` all - female band of assassins , and the protagonist is a boy who is captured by them and has to work for them . '' After his editor approved the idea , he waited on serialization until his company had stabilized and had released two other titles , during which he developed the characters , story and world . In August 2009 , following the release of Majikoi - Oh ! Samurai Girls , Takahiro looked for an artist for the serialization , and recruited Tashiro Tetsuya to do the illustrations . He liked Tashiro 's ability to draw fast - paced action scenes and that he can draw cute girls . </P> <P> Takahiro has written additional background information and profiles about some of the characters in the postscripts of the volume compilations , such as for the Three Beasts and the Jaegers . The Danger Beasts ( 危険 種 , kikenshu ) were conceived to be any creature that attacks the humans in the world and are similar to monsters seen in role - playing games with different classifications from Class 4 to Class 1 , and Special and Super Class designations at the top for the legendary beasts . </P> <H2> Main characters ( edit ) </H2> <P> The main characters are members of Night Raid , a team of assassins who help the Revolutionary Army 's efforts to overthrow the corrupt prime minister and restore peace and order to the Empire . </P> <H3> Tatsumi ( edit ) </H3> <Dl> <Dd> Voiced by : Sōma Saitō ( Japanese ) ; Corey Hartzog ( English ) </Dd> </Dl> <P> Tatsumi ( タツミ ) is a swordsman who sets out to the capital city to raise money for his impoverished village . He has brown hair and green eyes . Separated from his two companions , Tatsumi is swindled of his money , but is taken in by a girl with a wealthy upbringing . When he tries to defend that girl from Night Raid , he soon discovers that the girl had actually tortured and killed his comrades , so he kills her and is recruited to join Night Raid , He accepts , as their actions of fighting corruption would eventually help his village . His primary weapon is a short sword , but he later inherits Bulat 's Teigu `` Demon Armor : Incursio '' ( 悪鬼 纏身 インクルシオ , Akki Tenshin : Inkurushio ) , which was created from the still living flesh of an adaptive dragon Danger Beast called Tyrant . While normally a short sword , Incuriso can form armor around the user and grant them powers such as invisibility and superhuman strength . However , Tatsumi 's continued use of Incursio takes a toll on his body , and his body and his humanity are consumed by Tyrant . In the manga , he transforms into Tyrant but retains his mind , but in the anime he dies after defeating Shikoutazer . In the manga , after the war , Tatsumi , trapped in his Tryrant form for life , returns to Mine 's side , and they settle in his old village to raise the child they conceived before she fell into coma . </P> <H3> Akame ( edit ) </H3> <Dl> <Dd> Voiced by : Sora Amamiya ( Japanese ) ; Molly Searcy ( English ) </Dd> </Dl> <P> Akame ( アカメ ) has long black hair , red eyes , and a cold , serious demeanor . Sold along with her sister to the Empire at a young age , she becomes one of the Elite Seven assassins under Gozuki . Despite her serious attitude in battle , she displays genuine concern for her comrades . During a mission to assassinate former general Najenda , she is convinced by the latter to join Night Raid and the cause against the Empire . Her treason sparks an intense rivalry between fellow assassin and sibling Kurome , along with a mutual desire to be the one to end the other . In Night Raid , she assumes the cooking duties prior to Tatsumi joining the group . While she originally used the Shingu `` Kiriichimonji '' , a sword capable of inflicting wounds that never heal , Akame acquired Gozuki 's Imperial Arm `` One Slice Kill : Murasame '' ( 一 斬 必殺 村雨 , Ichizan Hissatsu : Murasame ) whose poison blade instantly kills whoever it cuts . During the final battle with Esdeath , as a final resort due to the method of activation , Akame activates Murasame 's Little War Horn Trump Card to boost her physical abilities so she

said in 2017 that archives show much of the land `` was in very poor condition , and many of the farmers and other landowners were glad to sell . '' </P> The Biltmore Estate ( c. 1900 ) <P> Construction of the house began in 1889 and continued well into 1896 . In order to facilitate such a large project , a woodworking factory and brick kiln , which produced 32,000 bricks a day , were built onsite , and a three - mile railroad spur was constructed to bring materials to the building site . Construction on the main house required the labor of well over 1,000 workers and 60 stonemasons . Vanderbilt went on extensive buying trips overseas as construction on the house was in progress . He returned to North Carolina with thousands of furnishings for his newly built home including tapestries , hundreds of carpets , prints , linens , and decorative objects , all dating between the 15th century and the late 19th century . Among the few American - made items were the more practical oak drop - front desk , rocking chairs , a walnut grand piano , bronze candlesticks and a wicker wastebasket . </P> <P> George Vanderbilt opened his opulent estate on Christmas Eve 1895 to invited family and friends from across the country , who were encouraged to enjoy leisure and country pursuits . Notable guests to the estate over the years included author Edith Wharton , novelist Henry James , ambassadors Joseph Hodges Choate and Larz Anderson , and Presidents William McKinley , Theodore Roosevelt , Woodrow Wilson , Jimmy Carter , Ronald Reagan , and Barack Obama . George married Edith Stuyvesant Dresser in 1898 in Paris , France ; their only child , Cornelia Stuyvesant Vanderbilt , was born at Biltmore in the Louis XV room in 1900 , and grew up at the estate . </P> <P> Driven by the impact of the newly imposed income taxes , and the fact that the estate was getting harder to manage economically , Vanderbilt initiated the sale of 87,000 acres ( 352 km2 ) to the federal government . After Vanderbilt 's unexpected death in 1914 of complications from an emergency appendectomy , his widow completed the sale to carry out her husband 's wish that the land remain unaltered , and that property became the nucleus of the Pisgah National Forest . Overwhelmed with running such a large estate , Edith began consolidating her interests and sold Biltmore Estate Industries in 1917 and Biltmore Village in 1921 . Edith intermittently occupied the house , living in an apartment carved out of the former Bachelors ' Wing , until the marriage of her daughter to John Francis Amherst Cecil in April 1924 . The Cecils went on to have two sons who were born in the same room as their mother . </P> <P> In an attempt to bolster the estate 's financial situation during the Great Depression , Cornelia and her husband opened Biltmore to the public in March 1930 at the request of the City of Asheville , which hoped the attraction would revitalize the area with tourism . Biltmore closed during World War II and in 1942 , 62 paintings and 17 sculptures were moved to the estate by train from the National Gallery of Art in Washington , D.C. to protect them in the event of an attack on the United States . The Music Room on the first floor was never finished , so it was used for storage until 1944 , when the possibility of an attack became more remote . Among the works stored were the Gilbert Stuart portrait of George Washington and works by Rembrandt , Raphael , and Anthony van Dyck . David Finley , the gallery director , was a friend of Edith Vanderbilt and had stayed at the estate . </P> <P> After the divorce of the Cecils in 1934 , Cornelia left the estate never to return ; however , John Cecil maintained his residence in the Bachelors ' Wing until his death in 1954 . Their eldest son George Henry Vanderbilt Cecil , occupied rooms in the wing until 1956 . At this point Biltmore House ceased to be a family residence and has continued to be operated as a historic house museum . </P> <P> Younger son William A.V. Cecil , Sr. returned to the estate in the late 1950s and joined his brother to manage the estate when it was in financial trouble and make it a profitable and self - sustaining enterprise like his grandfather envisioned . He eventually inherited the estate upon the death of his mother , Cornelia , in 1976 , while his brother , George , inherited the then more profitable dairy farm which was split off into Biltmore Farms . In 1995 , while celebrating the 100th anniversary of the estate , Cecil turned over control of the company to his son , William A.V. Cecil , Jr . The Biltmore Company is privately held and of the 4,306.86 acres that make up Biltmore Estate , only 1.36 acres are in the city limits of Asheville , and the Biltmore House is not part of any municipality . </P> <P> The estate was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1963 , and remains a major tourist attraction in Western North Carolina with 1.4 million visitors each year . </P> <P> After the death of William A.V. Cecil in October 2017 and his wife Mimi Cecil in November , their daughter Dini Pickering as board chair and their son Bill Cecil as CEO announced that the estate would continue to be run the same way . The house is assessed at $157.2 million but due to an agricultural deferment , county property taxes are paid on only $79.1 million of that . </P> <H2> Architecture ( edit ) </H2> Waddesdon Manor was a principal source for the east elevation <P> Vanderbilt commissioned prominent New York architect Richard Morris Hunt , who had previously designed houses for various Vanderbilt family members ,

The Dodgers are a member club of the National League ( NL ) West division , and the Yankees are a member club of the American League ( AL ) East division . The rivalry between the Dodgers and Yankees is one of the most well - known rivalries in Major League Baseball . The two teams have met 11 times in the World Series , more times than any other pair of teams from the American and National Leagues . The initial significance was embodied in the two teams ' proximity in New York City , when the Dodgers initially played in Brooklyn . After the Dodgers moved to Los Angeles in 1958 , the rivalry retained its significance as the two teams represented the dominant cities on each coast of the United States , and since the 1980s , the two largest cities in the United States . The Dodgers currently lead the regular season series 7 - 6 . Although the rivalry 's significance arose from the two teams ' numerous World Series meetings , the Yankees and Dodgers have not met in the World Series since 1981 . They would not play each other in a non-exhibition game until 2004 , when they played a 3 - game interleague series .

The league , however , recognized that it required a presence in New York City , the country 's largest market , in order to survive . Hence , it moved the Orioles to New York , which was already the home of two National League franchises , the Brooklyn Dodgers and New York Giants . The new team was eventually called the New York Highlanders due to their home field being Hilltop Park from 1903 -- 1912 . </P> <P> After the Highlanders allowed the Giants to play at Hilltop Park when the latter 's home stadium , the Polo Grounds , was undergoing reconstruction from a fire , the Giants invited the Highlanders to share the Polo Grounds with them . Since the Highlanders were no longer playing at higher elevations , they changed their name to the New York Yankees . The Dodgers also opened up their new field , Ebbets Field , in Brooklyn . Their opening game at the stadium was an exhibition game against the Highlanders on April 5 , 1913 where future Yankee manager Casey Stengel had the game - winning hit for the Dodgers . The Highlanders would officially be called the Yankees later

It was covered later in 1970 by Sammi Smith , on the album Help Me Make It Through the Night . Smith 's recording of the song remains the most commercially successful and most well - known version in the United States . Her recording ranks among the most successful country singles of all time in terms of sales , popularity , and radio airplay . It topped the country singles chart , and was also a crossover hit , reaching number eight on the U.S. pop singles chart . `` Help Me Make It Through The Night '' also became Smith 's signature song . </P> <P> Inspired by Smith 's success with the song , numerous other artists covered it soon thereafter , including Loretta Lynn , Glen Campbell , Joan Baez , Jerry Lee Lewis , Elvis Presley , and Willie Nelson . </P> <P> Other artists who have recorded charting versions of the song include Gladys Knight & the Pips , John Holt , and ( in French ) Claude Varade . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background and writing </Li> <Li> 2 Content </Li> <Li> 3 Chart performance <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Sammi Smith </Li> <Li> 3.2 Weekly charts </Li> <Li> 3.3 Year - end charts </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Other charting versions <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Willie Nelson </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Other cover versions <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Conventional </Li> <Li> 5.2 Novelty and other language </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Television and film appearances </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background and writing ( edit ) </H2> <P> Kristofferson said that he got the inspiration for the song from an Esquire magazine interview with Frank Sinatra . When asked what he believed in , Frank replied , `` Booze , broads , or a bible ... whatever helps me make it through the night . '' </P> <P> During his time as a struggling songwriter , Kristofferson wrote the song while staying with Dottie West and her husband , Bill , at their home on Shy 's Hill Road in Nashville 's Green Hills neighborhood . When he offered Dottie the song , she originally claimed it was `` too suggestive '' for her . Eventually , she would record it before the year was out , and it is included on her album Careless Hands . However , by then , several others had recorded and released versions of it , some garnering great success . Later on , West said that not recording it when it was originally offered to her was one of the greatest regrets of her career . </P> <H2> Content ( edit ) </H2> <P> Kristofferson 's original lyrics speak of a man 's yearning for sexual intimacy . They were controversial in 1971 when the song was covered by a woman : I do n't care what 's right or wrong , I do n't try to understand / Let the devil take tomorrow , Lord tonight I need a friend . </P> <H2> Chart performance ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Sammi Smith ( edit ) </H3> <P> Sammi Smith 's recording reached number - one on the U.S. country charts and won the Grammy Award for Best Country Music Female performance . On February 20 , 1971 , it reached number 8 on Billboard 's U.S. pop singles chart , and also enjoyed success in Canada . Adult - Contemporary stations took to the song , and it peaked at number 3 on Billboard 's Easy Listening chart . Additionally , it spent three weeks at number 1 on the Country chart .

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 summit came to be known as the Group of Seven , or G7 , in 1976 with the addition of Canada . Russia was added to the political forum from 1997 , which the following year became known as the G8 . In March 2014 Russia was suspended following the annexation of Crimea , whereupon the group 's name reverted to the G7 . Certain representatives of G7 countries stated that they would be interested in Russia 's return to the group . However in 2017 Russia announced that it would permanently leave the political forum G8 . The European Union was represented at the G8 since the 1980s as a `` nonenumerated '' participant , but originally could not host or chair summits . The 40th summit was the first time the European Union was able to host and chair a summit . Collectively , in 2012 the G8 nations comprised 50.1 percent of 2012 global nominal GDP and 40.9 percent of global GDP ( PPP ) . </P> <P> `` G7 '' can refer to the member states in aggregate or to the annual summit meeting of the G7 heads of government . The former term , G6 , is now frequently applied to the six most populous countries within the European Union . G7 ministers also meet throughout the year , such as the G7 finance ministers ( who meet four times a year ) , G7 foreign ministers , or G7 environment ministers . </P> <P> Each calendar year , the responsibility of hosting the G8 was rotated through the member states in the following order : France , United States , United Kingdom , Russia ( suspended ) , Germany , Japan , Italy , and Canada . The holder of the presidency sets the agenda , hosts the summit for that year , and determines which ministerial meetings will take place . </P> <P> In 2005 , the UK government initiated the practice of inviting five leading emerging markets -- Brazil , China , India , Mexico , and South Africa -- to participate in the G8 meetings that came to be known as G8 + 5 ; but this practice was short - lived . With the G - 20 major economies growing in stature since the 2008 Washington summit , world leaders from the group announced at their Pittsburgh summit in September 2009 that the group would replace the G8 as the main economic council of wealthy nations . Nevertheless , the G7 retains its relevance as a `` steering group for the West '' , with special significance appointed to Japan . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Food </Li> <Li> 1.2 Russia ′ s participation suspension ( 2014 ) </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Structure and activities <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Global energy </Li> <Li> 2.2 Annual summit </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Member facts </Li> <Li> 4 Criticism </Li> <Li> 5 Relevance </Li> <Li> 6 Youth 8 Summit </Li> <Li> 7 See also </Li> <Li> 8 References </Li> <Li> 9 Further reading </Li> <Li> 10 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Group of Seven § History <P> Following 1994 's G7 summit in Naples , Russian officials held separate meetings with leaders of the G7 after the group 's summits .

Wind power in the United States - wikipedia <H1> Wind power in the United States </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Brazos Wind Ranch in Texas . Mendota Hills Wind Farm in northern Illinois Wind farm in Southeastern Washington <P> Wind power in the United States is a branch of the energy industry that has expanded quickly over the latest several years . For the twelve months through November 2017 , wind power in the United States amounted to 254.2 terawatt - hours , or 6.33 % of all generated electrical energy . </P> <P> As of January 2017 , the U.S. nameplate generating capacity for wind power was 82,183 megawatts ( MW ) . This capacity is exceeded only by China and the European Union . Thus far , wind power 's largest growth in capacity was in 2012 , when 11,895 MW of wind power was installed , representing 26.5 % of new power capacity . </P> <P> In 2016 , Nebraska became the eighteenth state to have installed over 1,000 MW of wind power capacity . Texas , with over 20,000 MW of capacity , had the most installed wind power capacity of any U.S. state at the end of 2016 . Texas also had more under construction than any other state currently has installed . The state generating the highest percentage of energy from wind power is Iowa . North Dakota has the most per capita wind generation . The Alta Wind Energy Center in California is the largest wind farm in the United States with a capacity of 1548 MW .

See also : List of wind farms in the United States and History of wind power <P> The first municipal use of multiple wind - electric turbines in the USA may have been a five turbine system in Pettibone , North Dakota in 1940 . These were commercial Wincharger units on guyed towers . </P> <P> In 1980 the world 's first wind farm , consisting of twenty 30 kW wind turbines was installed at Crotched Mountain , in New Hampshire . </P> <P> From 1974 through the mid-1980s the United States government worked with industry to advance the technology and enable large commercial wind turbines . A series of NASA wind turbines were developed under a program to create a utility - scale wind turbine industry in the U.S. , with funding from the National Science Foundation and later the United States Department of Energy ( DOE ) . A total of 13 experimental wind turbines were put into operation , in four major wind turbine designs . This research and development program pioneered many of the multi-megawatt turbine technologies in use today , including : steel tube towers , variable - speed generators , composite blade materials , partial - span pitch control , as well as aerodynamic , structural , and acoustic engineering design capabilities . </P> <P> Later , in the 1980s , California provided tax rebates for wind power . These rebates funded the first major use of wind power for utility electric power . These machines , gathered in large wind parks such as at Altamont Pass would be considered small and un-economic by modern wind power development standards . In 1985 half of the world 's wind energy was generated at Altamont Pass . By the end of 1986 about 6,700 wind turbines , mostly less than 100 kW , had been installed at Altamont , at a cost of about $1 billion , and generated about 550 million kWh / year . </P> <P> The U.S. , as of 2017 , has over 82 GW of installed wind power capacity . Only China has more installed capacity . </P> <P> The five states with the most wind capacity installed at the start of 2017 were : </P> <Ul> <Li> Texas ( 20,321 MW ) </Li> <Li> Iowa ( 6,917 MW ) </Li> <Li> Oklahoma ( 6,645 MW ) </Li> <Li> California ( 5,662 MW ) </Li> <Li> Kansas ( 4,451 MW ) </Li> </Ul> <P> Fourteen states now have 10 percent or more of their generation coming from wind power .

Christian Bale as John Connor in Terminator Salvation Jason Clarke as John Connor in Terminator Genisys . <P> In the narrative of his fictional universe , John Connor is a messianic figure ( born on 28 February 1985 ) who will lead the Resistance to defeat an empire of robotic Terminators amassed by Skynet ( the rogue military supercomputer ) following Judgment Day ( a cybernetic revolt doomsday event ) . When his mother , Sarah Connor , became the target of a time travelling Terminator unit ( T - 800 ( Model 101 ) ) in the first film The Terminator , John sent resistance fighter Kyle Reese to protect her , knowing Kyle and Sarah would later conceive John himself . With foreknowledge from his parents , John fends off Terminator assassination attempts in the second and third films before Judgment Day . In the fourth film , John fights with the Resistance in a post-apocalyptic setting after Skynet has taken over . As the series ' central plot heavily involves the concept of time travel , the story of the character is often non-linear and portrays many possible outcomes , for example Terminator 3 : Rise of the Machines and television series Terminator : The Sarah Connor Chronicles continue from the ending of Terminator 2 but are depicted as taking place in alternate timelines , while in Terminator Genisys ( 2015 ) revisits and changes the events of 1984 's The Terminator . </P> <H3> The Terminator ( edit ) </H3> <P> In The Terminator , John is mentioned and is the basis of the film .

He was a 10 - year - old juvenile delinquent living with foster parents ( Jenette Goldstein and Xander Berkeley ) while his mother ( Hamilton ) was at a hospital for the mentally insane . Though he is informed of his destiny of his future conflict with Skynet , young John is skeptical of his mother 's claims of his fate as humanity 's leader .

Octet rule - wikipedia <H1> Octet rule </H1> Jump to : navigation , search The bonding in carbon dioxide ( CO ) : all atoms are surrounded by 8 electrons , fulfilling the octet rule . <P> The octet rule is a chemical rule of thumb that reflects observation that atoms of main - group elements tend to combine in such a way that each atom has eight electrons in its valence shell , giving it the same electron configuration as a noble gas . The rule is especially applicable to carbon , nitrogen , oxygen , and the halogens , but also to metals such as sodium or magnesium . </P> <P> The valence electrons can be counted using a Lewis electron dot diagram as shown at the right for carbon dioxide . The electrons shared by the two atoms in a covalent bond are counted twice , once for each atom . In carbon dioxide each oxygen shares four electrons with the central carbon , two ( shown in red ) from the oxygen itself and two ( shown in black ) from the carbon . All four of these electrons are counted in both the carbon octet and the oxygen octet . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Example : sodium chloride </Li> <Li> 2 History </Li> <Li> 3 Explanation in quantum theory </Li> <Li> 4 Exceptions </Li> <Li> 5 Three - electron bonds </Li> <Li> 6 Hypervalent molecules </Li> <Li> 7 See also </Li> <Li> 8 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Example : sodium chloride ( edit ) </H2> <P> Ionic bonding is common between pairs of atoms , where one of the pair is a metal of low electronegativity ( such as sodium ) and the second a nonmetal of high electronegativity ( such as chlorine ) . </P> <P> A chlorine atom has seven electrons in its outer electron shell , the first and second shells being filled with two and eight electrons respectively . The first electron affinity of chlorine ( the energy release when chlorine gains an electron ) is + 328.8 kJ per mole of chlorine atoms . Adding a second electron to chlorine requires energy , energy that can not be recovered by formation of a chemical bond . The result is that chlorine will very often form a compound in which it has eight electrons in its outer shell ( a complete octet ) . </P> <P> A sodium atom has a single electron in its outermost electron shell , the first and second shells again being full with two and eight electrons respectively . To remove this outer electron requires only the first ionization energy , which is + 495.8 kJ per mole of sodium atoms , a small amount of energy . By contrast , the second electron resides in the deeper second electron shell , and the second ionization energy required for its removal is much larger : + 4562.4 kJ per mole . Thus sodium will , in most cases , form a compound in which it has lost a single electron and have a full outer shell of eight electrons , or octet . </P> <P> The energy required to transfer an electron from a sodium atom to a chlorine atom ( the difference of the 1st ionization energy of sodium and the electron affinity of chlorine ) is small : + 495.8 − 328.8 = + 167 kJ mol . This energy is easily offset by the lattice energy of sodium chloride : − 787.3 kJ mol . This completes the explanation of the octet rule in this case . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> In the late 19th century it was known that coordination compounds ( formerly called `` molecular compounds '' ) were formed by the combination of atoms or molecules in such a manner that the valencies of the atoms involved apparently became satisfied . In 1893 , Alfred Werner showed that the number of atoms or groups associated with a central atom ( the `` coordination number '' ) is often 4 or 6 ; other coordination numbers up to a maximum of 8 were known , but less frequent . In 1904 Richard Abegg was one of the first to extend the concept of coordination number to a concept of valence in which he distinguished atoms as electron donors or acceptors , leading to positive and negative valence states that greatly resemble the modern concept of oxidation states . Abegg noted that the difference between the maximum positive and negative valences of an element under his model is frequently eight . In 1916 , Gilbert N. Lewis referred to this insight as Abegg 's rule and used it to help formulate his cubical atom model and the `` rule of eight '' , which began to distinguish between valence and valence electrons . In 1919 Irving Langmuir refined these concepts further and renamed them the `` cubical octet atom '' and `` octet theory '' . The `` octet theory '' evolved into what is now known as the `` octet rule '' . </P> <H2> Explanation in quantum theory ( edit ) </H2> <P> The quantum theory of the atom explains the eight electrons as a closed shell with an s p electron configuration . A closed - shell configuration is one in which low - lying energy levels are full and higher energy levels are empty . For example , the neon atom ground state has a full n = 2 shell ( 2s 2p ) and an empty n = 3 shell . According to the octet rule , the atoms immediately before and after neon in the periodic table ( i.e. C , N , O , F , Na , Mg and Al ) , tend to attain a similar configuration by gaining , losing , or sharing electrons . </P> <P> The argon atom has an analogous 3s 3p configuration . There is also an empty 3d level , but it is at considerably higher energy

was written by Bieber with Christopher `` Tricky '' Stewart and Terius `` The - Dream '' Nash , both of whom worked with Bieber on `` One Time '' , R&B singer and The - Dream 's then wife Christina Milian and labelmate , Ludacris . When asked how the collaboration initially came about , Bieber said , `` ( Ludacris and I ) both live in Atlanta . I met him a year prior to this and we figured it was a perfect collaboration for him , so we invited him out to do it . '' Bieber first premiered the song performing on MuchMusic on December 28 , 2009 . A few days before the release of the single , Bieber posted an acoustic version of the song to his YouTube with his guitarist Dan Kanterr , similar to the way he did with `` Favorite Girl '' . Billboard said that : `` Bieber delivers his characteristically clean vocals with conviction : `` My first love broke my heart for the first time / and I 'm like , ' baby , baby , baby , no ! ' I thought you 'd always be mine . '' Also in a review of the acoustic version Bill Lamb of About.com said that `` I think the vocals here will convince some that Justin Bieber really does have the vocal chops . '' </P> <H2> Style and composition </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> `` Baby '' A sample of `` Baby '' featuring Bieber singing the chorus and repetitive hook </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td colspan="2"> Problems playing this file ? See media help . </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> The song is predominantly upbeat , featuring Bieber 's R&B vocals over a backdrop containing a dance infused beat , full of keyboard and `` disco string '' synths . The song is composed in the key of E ♭ major with Bieber 's vocal range spanning from the low - note of G to the high - note of C. According to Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone , the song `` blends winks at Fifties doo - wop with hip - hop chants '' , comparing the style and the lyrics `` My first love broke my heart for the first time / And I was like / Baby , baby , baby , ooooh / I thought you 'd always be mine '' to fifties ballads like `` Tears on My Pillow '' , `` Why Do Fools Fall in Love '' and `` Earth Angel '' . Lyrically , Bieber 's lines explain his distress over his lost love , and promise to get it back , featured in lines like , `` And I wan na play it cool / But I 'm losin ' you ... / I 'm in pieces / So come and fix me ... '' . The chorus features the distinct and repetitive `` baby , baby , baby , ohhhh ( nooooo ) '' hook . After the second verse , Ludacris comes in with the verse - rap , an anecdote of young love when he was thirteen , as it runs `` When I was 13 / I had my first love / She had me going crazy / Oh , I was star - struck / She woke me up daily / Do n't need no Starbucks ... '' . </P> <P> A famous section of the song plays `` Baby , Baby baby oh . Like baby , baby baby oh '' . It is the catchphrase of the song that identifies the song . </P> <H2> Critical reception </H2> <P> Nick Levine of Digital Spy felt the song was `` no great departure from what he 's given us before '' , but felt the production of Tricky and The - Dream helped give the song a `` simple '' , `` big '' chorus about `` puppy love '' that works . Melanie Bertoldi of Billboard said , `` The midtempo number 's undeniably contagious chorus should keep Bieber 's tween fan base satisfied , and Ludacris ' brief cameo adds a welcome urban twist . '' Bertoli went on to say , `` The matchup adds a layer of maturity to Bieber 's repertoire and should further solidify his growing presence on the charts . '' Rap - Up magazine said that `` the sweet pop fare gets a little street cred courtesy of the teen sensation 's labelmate Ludacris . '' Jody Rosen of Rolling Stone appreciated the song 's vintage doo - wop and fifties aesthetic and hip - hop chants , and said the song included `` one of the catchiest choruses concocted by the - Dream and Tricky Stewart , the duo behind `` Umbrella '' and `` Single Ladies . '' Luke O'Neill of Boston Globe had mixed thoughts about the song calling Ludacris ' cameo `` goofy '' , and said , the song `` effects a musical anachronism , albeit a catchy one , but in this sped - up recycling moment all styles all at once are grist for the mill . '' </P> <H2> Chart performance </H2> <P> In the United States , `` Baby '' debuted at number five on the Billboard Hot 100 , becoming Bieber 's highest charting single in the US . Bieber then went on to surpass this chart position when `` Boyfriend '' debuted at number two in April 2012 . The song was also Ludacris 's biggest song to date , solo or featuring , since 2007 's `` Glamorous '' . `` Baby '' was beaten out as the week 's highest debut by Taylor Swift 's `` Today Was a Fairytale '' , which debuted at number two . The debuting of the pair of songs was just the third time in history that the Hot 100 had two new top - five debuts . The instance had last happened in 2003 when American Idol 's Ruben Studdard and Clay Aiken 's debut singles charted at number one

Gabriel Oak ( Matthias Schoenaerts ) , a new neighbour , sees Bathsheba riding her horse and falls in love with her . He proposes , but the headstrong Bathsheba declines , saying she is too independent and he would grow to despise her . One night a new sheepdog chases Gabriel 's entire flock off a cliff . He settles his debts and is left penniless . He leaves in search of work . In contrast , Bathsheba inherits a farm from her uncle and leaves to take charge of it . </P> <P> While Gabriel is at a fair trying to find employment , local soldiers attempt to recruit him and other townsmen . A young girl , Fanny Robin , notices him and points out one of the soldiers , Sergeant Frank Troy , her sweetheart . She suggests Gabriel seek employment at a farm in Weatherbury . Gabriel arrives to find several buildings on fire and saves the barn from destruction . At dawn the next day he is introduced to the farm 's new mistress : Bathsheba . She hires him as a shepherd . In the meantime , Fanny goes to the wrong church for her wedding and Troy , apparently jilted , is devastated . </P> <P> In town , Bathsheba proves to be a shrewd trader when selling her seed . She immediately is drawn to her neighbour William Boldwood ( Michael Sheen ) , a prosperous and mature bachelor . Bathsheba sends Boldwood a Valentine as a joke , and he , both offended and intrigued , soon proposes marriage . Bathsheba says she does share his feelings but delays giving him a final answer . Gabriel admonishes Bathsheba for being foolish and unkind by playing with Boldwood 's affections . She is stung by his criticism , and fires him , but the next day , given a crisis with the sheep that only he can manage , she sends after him and then pursues him to ask him to return . After her personal appeal , he comes back , saves some of the sheep , and stays on the farm . </P> <P> One night while walking around her land , Bathsheba meets Troy , who is mesmerized by her beauty . Uncomfortable , she tells him he should not be there , but the next day he returns to help with the harvest . Bathsheba learns he is of a noble family , but tells him to leave . He flirts with her and flatters her , and arranges a secret meeting . At their rendezvous in the woods , he shows off his swordplay , telling her not to flinch as he swings his sword around her head and body . He finally embraces her in a passionate kiss and Bathsheba is left in a daze . Gabriel warns her that Frank is dangerous and dishonourable , but she nevertheless elopes with him , and they share their wedding night together . </P> <P> Returning to the farm , the newly married couple celebrate with all the workers . Gabriel warns of an approaching storm , but the belligerent and drunk Frank interrupts him and insists that the party will not allow it to rain . Gabriel attempts by himself to cover the harvest with tarpaulins and Bathsheba , ashamed of Frank 's drunken behavior with the other men , comes out into the wind and rain to help . Chastened , she tells Gabriel that she was a fool to fall prey to Frank 's

How many goodly creatures are there here ! How beauteous mankind is ! O brave new world , That has such people i n't . </P> -- William Shakespeare , The Tempest , Act V , Scene I , ll. 203 -- 206 <P> Translations of the title often allude to similar expressions used in domestic works of literature : the French edition of the work is entitled Le Meilleur des mondes ( The Best of All Worlds ) , an allusion to an expression used by the philosopher Gottfried Leibniz and satirised in Candide , Ou l'Optimisme by Voltaire ( 1759 ) . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> Huxley wrote Brave New World while living in Sanary - sur - Mer , France , in the four months from May to August 1931 . By this time , Huxley had already established himself as a writer and social satirist . He was a contributor to Vanity Fair and Vogue magazines , and had published a collection of his poetry ( The Burning Wheel , 1916 ) and four successful satirical novels : Crome Yellow ( 1921 ) , Antic Hay ( 1923 ) , Those Barren Leaves ( 1925 ) , and Point Counter Point ( 1928 ) . Brave New World was Huxley 's fifth novel and first dystopian work . </P> <P> Huxley said that Brave New World was inspired by the utopian novels of H.G. Wells , including A Modern Utopia ( 1905 ) and Men Like Gods ( 1923 ) . Wells 's hopeful vision of the future 's possibilities gave Huxley the idea to begin writing a parody of the novel , which became Brave New World . He wrote in a letter to Mrs. Arthur Goldsmith , an American acquaintance , that he had `` been having a little fun pulling the leg of H.G. Wells , '' but then he `` got caught up in the excitement of ( his ) own ideas . '' Unlike the most popular optimist utopian novels of the time , Huxley sought to provide a frightening vision of the future . Huxley referred to Brave New World as a `` negative utopia '' , somewhat influenced by Wells 's own The Sleeper Awakes ( dealing with subjects like corporate tyranny and behavioural conditioning ) and the works of D.H. Lawrence . </P> <P> George Orwell believed that Brave New World must have been partly derived from the novel We by Yevgeny Zamyatin . However , in a 1962 letter , Huxley says that he wrote Brave New World long before he had heard of We . According to We translator Natasha Randall , Orwell believed that Huxley was lying . The scientific futurism in Brave New World is believed to be cribbed from Daedalus by J.B.S. Haldane . </P> Huxley hailed Billingham as a `` triumphant embodiment '' of the principles of planning , an `` ordered universe in the midst of the larger world of planless incoherence '' . <P> The events of the Depression in Britain in 1931 , with its mass unemployment and the abandonment of the gold currency standard , persuaded Huxley to assert that stability was the `` primal and ultimate need '' if civilisation was to survive the present crisis . The Brave New World character Mustapha Mond , Resident World Controller of Western Europe , is named after Sir Alfred Mond . Shortly before writing the novel , Huxley visited Mond 's technologically advanced plant near Billingham , north east England , and it made a great impression on him . </P> <P> Huxley used the setting and characters in his science fiction novel to express widely held opinions , particularly the fear of losing individual identity in the fast - paced world of the future . An early trip to the United States gave Brave New World much of its character . Not only was Huxley outraged by the culture of youth , commercial cheeriness and sexual promiscuity , and the inward - looking nature of many Americans , he had also found the book My Life and Work by Henry Ford on the boat to America , and he saw the book 's principles applied in everything he encountered after leaving San Francisco . </P> <H2> Plot ( edit ) </H2> <P> The novel opens in the World State city of London in AF 632 ( AD 2540 in the Gregorian calendar )

Covalent bond - wikipedia <H1> Covalent bond </H1> Jump to : navigation , search `` Covalent '' redirects here . For other uses , see Covalent ( disambiguation ) . A covalent bond forming H ( right ) where two hydrogen atoms share the two electrons <P> A covalent bond , also called a molecular bond , is a chemical bond that involves the sharing of electron pairs between atoms . These electron pairs are known as shared pairs or bonding pairs , and the stable balance of attractive and repulsive forces between atoms , when they share electrons , is known as covalent bonding . For many molecules , the sharing of electrons allows each atom to attain the equivalent of a full outer shell , corresponding to a stable electronic configuration . </P> <P> Covalent bonding includes many kinds of interactions , including σ - bonding , π - bonding , metal - to - metal bonding , agostic interactions , bent bonds , and three - center two - electron bonds . The term covalent bond dates from 1939 . The prefix co - means jointly , associated in action , partnered to a lesser degree , etc. ; thus a `` co-valent bond '' , in essence , means that the atoms share `` valence '' , such as is discussed in valence bond theory . </P> <P> In the molecule H , the hydrogen atoms share the two electrons via covalent bonding . Covalency is greatest between atoms of similar electronegativities . Thus , covalent bonding does not necessarily require that the two atoms be of the same elements , only that they be of comparable electronegativity . Covalent bonding that entails sharing of electrons over more than two atoms is said to be delocalized . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Types of covalent bonds </Li> <Li> 3 Covalent structures </Li> <Li> 4 One - and three - electron bonds </Li> <Li> 5 Resonance <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Aromaticity </Li> <Li> 5.2 Hypervalence </Li> <Li> 5.3 Electron - deficiency </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Quantum mechanical description <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Covalency from atomic contribution to the electronic density of states </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 See also </Li> <Li> 8 References </Li> <Li> 9 Sources </Li> <Li> 10 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History </H2> Early concepts in covalent bonding arose from this kind of image of the molecule of methane . Covalent bonding is implied in the Lewis structure by indicating electrons shared between atoms . <P> The term covalence in regard to bonding was first used in 1919 by Irving Langmuir in a Journal of the American Chemical Society article entitled `` The Arrangement of Electrons in Atoms and Molecules '' . Langmuir wrote that `` we shall denote by the term covalence the number of pairs of electrons that a given atom shares with its neighbors . '' </P> <P> The idea of covalent bonding can be traced several years before 1919 to Gilbert N. Lewis , who in 1916 described the sharing of electron pairs between atoms . He introduced the Lewis notation or electron dot notation or Lewis dot structure , in which valence electrons ( those in the outer shell ) are represented as dots around the atomic symbols . Pairs of electrons located between atoms represent covalent bonds . Multiple pairs represent multiple bonds , such as double bonds and triple bonds . An alternative form of representation , not shown here , has bond - forming electron pairs represented as solid lines . </P> <P> Lewis proposed that an atom forms enough covalent bonds to form a full ( or closed ) outer electron shell . In the diagram of methane shown here , the carbon atom has a valence of four and is , therefore , surrounded by eight electrons ( the octet rule ) , four from the carbon itself and four from the hydrogens bonded to it . Each hydrogen has a valence of one and is surrounded by two electrons ( a duet rule ) -- its own one electron plus one from the carbon . The numbers of electrons correspond to full shells in the quantum theory of the atom ; the outer shell of a carbon atom is the n = 2 shell , which can hold eight electrons , whereas the outer ( and only ) shell of a hydrogen atom is the n = 1 shell , which can hold only two . </P> <P> While the idea of shared electron pairs provides an effective qualitative picture of covalent bonding , quantum mechanics is needed to understand the nature of these bonds and predict the structures and properties of simple molecules . Walter Heitler and Fritz London are credited with the first successful quantum mechanical explanation of a chemical bond ( molecular hydrogen ) in 1927 . Their work was based on the valence bond model , which assumes that a chemical bond is formed when there is good overlap between the atomic orbitals of participating atoms . </P> <H2> Types of covalent bonds </H2> <P> Atomic orbitals ( except for s orbitals ) have specific directional properties leading to different types of covalent bonds . Sigma ( σ ) bonds are the strongest covalent bonds and are due to head - on overlapping of orbitals on two different atoms . A single bond is usually a σ bond . Pi ( π ) bonds are weaker and are due to lateral overlap between p ( or d ) orbitals . A double bond between two given atoms consists of one σ and one π bond , and a triple bond is one σ and two π bonds . </P> <P> Covalent bonds are also affected by the electronegativity of the connected atoms which determines the chemical polarity of the bond . Two atoms with equal electronegativity will make nonpolar covalent bonds such as H -- H. An unequal relationship creates a polar covalent bond such as with H − Cl

However , almost all writings in biology , medicine and nutrition limit the term to all - cis - 5 , 8 , 11 , 14 - eicosatetraenoic acid . </P> <H2> Biology ( edit ) </H2> <P> Arachidonic acid is a polyunsaturated fatty acid present in the phospholipids ( especially phosphatidylethanolamine , phosphatidylcholine , and phosphatidylinositides ) of membranes of the body 's cells , and is abundant in the brain , muscles , and liver . Skeletal muscle is an especially active site of arachidonic acid retention , accounting for roughly 10 - 20 % of the phospholipid fatty acid content on average . </P> <P> In addition to being involved in cellular signaling as a lipid second messenger involved in the regulation of signaling enzymes , such as PLC - γ , PLC - δ , and PKC - α , - β , and - γ isoforms , arachidonic acid is a key inflammatory intermediate and can also act as a vasodilator . ( Note separate synthetic pathways , as described in section below . ) </P> <H2> Conditionally essential fatty acid ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Essential fatty acid § Essentiality Arachidonic acid in the human body usually comes from dietary animal sources -- meat , eggs , dairy -- or is synthesized from linoleic acid . <P> Arachidonic acid is not one of the essential fatty acids . However , it does become essential if there is a deficiency in linoleic acid or if there is an inability to convert linoleic acid to arachidonic acid . Some mammals lack the ability to , or have a very limited capacity to convert linoleic acid in to arachidonic acid , making it an essential part of their diets . Since little or no arachidonic acid is found in common plants , such animals are obligate carnivores ; the cat is a common example having inability to desaturate essential fatty acids . A commercial source of arachidonic acid has been derived , however , from the fungus Mortierella alpina . </P> <H2> The synthesis and cascade in humans ( edit ) </H2> Eicosanoid synthesis . <P> Arachidonic acid is freed from a phospholipid molecule by the enzyme phospholipase A2 ( PLA ) , which cleaves off the fatty acid , but can also be generated from DAG by diacylglycerol lipase . </P> <P> Arachidonic acid generated for signaling purposes appears to be derived by the action of group IVA cytosolic phospholipase A2 ( cPLA , 85 kDa ) , whereas inflammatory arachidonic acid is generated by the action of a low - molecular - weight secretory PLA ( sPLA , 14 - 18 kDa ) . </P> <P> Arachidonic acid is the precursor that is metabolized by various enzymes to a wide range of biologically and clinically important eicosanoids and metabolites of these eicosanoids : </P> <Ul> <Li> The enzymes cyclooxygenase - 1 and - 2 ( i.e. prostaglandin G / H synthase 1 and 2 ( PTGS1 and PTGS2 ) ) metabolize arachidonic acid to Prostaglandin G2 and prostaglandin H2 , which in turn may be converted to various prostaglandins , to prostacyclin , to thromboxanes , and to the 17 - carbon product of thromboxane metabolism of prostaglandin G2 / H2 , 12 - Hydroxyheptadecatrienoic acid ( 12 - HHT ) . </Li> <Li> The enzyme 5 - lipoxygenase metabolizes arachidonic acid to 5 - hydroperoxyicosatetraenoic acid ( 5 - HPETE ) , which in turn

Elections to some State Legislative Assemblies may be held along with the Parliamentary Elections . Earlier up to 1957 simultaneous elections were held for both the Lok Sabha and the State Assemblies . However , on account of early dismissal and mid-term elections the two got separated. The Indian National Congress won the most elections . </P> <H2> United Kingdom ( edit ) </H2> See also : Elections in the United Kingdom and United Kingdom general elections overview <P> The term general election in the United Kingdom often refers to the elections held on the same day in all constituencies of their Members of Parliament ( MPs ) to the House of Commons . Under the terms of the Fixed - term Parliaments Act 2011 , the period between one general election and the next is fixed at 5 years , unless the Commons passes a motion of no confidence in the Government sooner than that , or if the House of Commons , with the support of at least two thirds of its members , resolves that a general election should take place sooner . </P> <P> The term may also be used to refer to elections to any democratically elected body in which all of the members are up for election . Section 2 of the Scotland Act 1998 , for example , specifically refers to ordinary elections to the Scottish Parliament as general elections . </P> <P> Originally , British elections took place over a period of several weeks , with individual constituencies holding polling on separate days . The Parliament Act 1911 introduced the requirement that elections in all parliamentary constituencies be held on the same day . There has been a convention since the 1930s that general elections in Britain should take place on a Thursday ; the last general election to take place on any other weekday was that of 1931 . </P> <P> The five - year limit on the time of a Parliament can be varied by an Act of Parliament implemented by several bodies . This was done during both World Wars ; the Parliament elected in December 1910 was prolonged to November 1918 , and that elected in November 1935 lasted until June 1945 . The House of Lords has an absolute veto on any Bill to extend the life of Parliament . </P> <H2> United states ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Elections in the United States <P> In U.S. politics , general elections are elections held at any level ( e.g. city , county , congressional district , state ) that involve competition between at least two parties . General elections occur every two to six years ( depending on the positions being filled with most positions good for four years ) and include the presidential election , but unlike parliamentary systems the term can also refer to special elections that fill out positions prematurely vacated by the previous office holder ( e.g. through death , resignation , etc . ) . Some parallels can be drawn between the general election in parliamentary systems and the biennial elections determining all House seats , although there is no analogue to `` calling early elections '' in the U.S. , and the members of the elected U.S. Senate face elections of only one - third at a time at two - year intervals including during a general election . </P> <P> Unlike parliamentary systems where the term is distinguished from by - elections , a general election in the US is used in reference to and distinguished from primaries or caucuses , which are intra-party elections meant to select a party 's official candidate for a particular race . </P> <P> In the State of Louisiana the expression general election means the runoff election which occurs between the two highest candidates as determined by the jungle primary . </P> <H2> Footnotes ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ `` Scotland Act 1998 '' . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ Chapter 5 of the Louisiana Election Code , incorporating Section 18 : 401 of the Louisiana Revised Statutes . </Li> </Ol> <H2> External links ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> International IDEA 's Electoral Processes Program </Li> <Li> A New Nation Votes : American Election Returns 1787 - 1825 </Li> <Li> General Election 2010 </Li> </Ul> Retrieved from `` https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=General_election&oldid=815171287 '' Categories : <Ul> <Li> Elections </Li> <Li> General elections </Li> </Ul> Hidden categories : <Ul> <Li> Articles needing additional references from March 2016 </Li> <Li> All articles needing additional references </Li> </Ul> <H2> </H2> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> Talk </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> Contents </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> About Wikipedia </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <H3> </H3> <Ul> <Li> </Li> <Li> Bân - lâm - gú </Li> <Li> Català </Li> <Li> Cymraeg </Li> <Li> Esperanto </Li> <Li> فارسی </Li> <Li> Gaeilge </Li> <Li> 한국어 </Li> <Li> Basa Jawa </Li> <Li> Bahasa Melayu </Li> <Li> 日本 語 </Li> <Li> සිංහල </Li> <Li> Simple English </Li> <Li> Српски / srpski </Li> <Li> Srpskohrvatski / српскохрватски </Li> <Li> Svenska </Li> <Li> Türkçe </Li> <Li> اردو </Li> <Li> Tiếng Việt </Li> </Ul> Edit links <Ul> <Li> This page was last edited

The Eastern Conference champion and defending Stanley Cup champion Pittsburgh Penguins defeated the Western Conference champion Nashville Predators , four games to two . Penguins captain Sidney Crosby was awarded the Conn Smythe Trophy as most valuable player of the playoffs for the second consecutive year . The Penguins won the Stanley Cup in their opponent 's rink , just like they did the previous four times </P> <P> The Penguins finished second in the league with 111 points , which gave them home ice advantage in the series . The series began on May 29 and concluded on June 11 . The Penguins made their second consecutive Finals appearance , marking the third time in their history they had done this , following their appearances in 1991 and 1992 and 2008 and 2009 . This was the first time since 2009 , a rematch between the Penguins and Detroit Red Wings , that any team appeared in consecutive Finals . The Penguins also became the first team since the Red Wings ( in 1997 and 1998 ) to win the Stanley Cup in consecutive years . </P> <P> This marked the second consecutive season in which a Western Conference team made their first appearance in the Finals ; the San Jose Sharks made their Finals debut the year prior . This was the first time in NHL history that two United States -- born head coaches faced off against each other in the Stanley Cup Finals . </P> <P> The Penguins won the first two games of the series despite being massively outshot by the Predators in both games . Nashville tied the series at two with a pair of convincing wins at home . However , Penguins goaltender Matt Murray did not allow a goal in Game 5 or Game 6 , which Pittsburgh won 6 - 0 and 2 - 0 respectively . Penguins coach Mike Sullivan became the third coach in NHL history to win the Stanley Cup in his first two seasons as a coach with his team , joining Pete Green of the Ottawa Senators ( in 1920 and 1921 ) and Toe Blake of the Montreal Canadiens ( in 1956 and 1957 ) . This was the first Final since 1983 wherein no game was decided by one goal . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Paths to the Finals <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Pittsburgh Penguins </Li> <Li> 1.2 Nashville Predators </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Game summaries <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Game one </Li> <Li> 2.2 Game two </Li> <Li> 2.3 Game three </Li> <Li> 2.4 Game four </Li> <Li> 2.5 Game five </Li> <Li> 2.6 Game six </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Team rosters <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Pittsburgh Penguins </Li> <Li> 3.2 Nashville Predators </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Pittsburgh Penguins -- 2017 Stanley Cup champions <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Players </Li> <Li> 4.2 Coaching and administrative staff : </Li> <Li> 4.3 Stanley Cup engraving </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 TV and radio </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Paths to the Finals ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Pittsburgh Penguins ( edit ) </H3> Main article : 2016 -- 17 Pittsburgh Penguins season <P> This was Pittsburgh 's second consecutive Finals appearance , and sixth overall .

It is a key concept in the history of liberalism . The United States Constitution presents an example of the federal government not possessing any power except what is delegated to it by the Constitution - with the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution specifically stating that powers not specifically delegated to the federal government is reserved for the people and the states . The Magna Carta and the United States Constitution also represents important milestones in the limiting of governmental power . The earliest use of the term limited government dates back to King James VI and I in the late 16th century . Limited government put into practice often involves the protection of individual liberty from government intrusion . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Limited government and the United States <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Justification </Li> <Li> 1.2 The Bill of Rights </Li> <Li> 1.3 Republicanism </Li> <Li> 1.4 Checks and balances </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 See also </Li> <Li> 3 References </Li> <Li> 4 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Limited government and the United States ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Justification ( edit ) </H3> <P> The reasons why the authors of the Constitution saw fit to limit the power of the government are set forth in the Declaration of Independence , written by Thomas Jefferson . Here , Jefferson outlines three basic assumptions widely held in the American colonies that supporters of the Declaration believed were not held by the English monarchy . In other words , Colonists felt that the British had treated them unfairly . In order to prevent this from happening again the framers made limited government a principle in the constitution . These assumptions are that all men are created equal , they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights and governments are instituted in order to preserve these rights . It was the fact that the English government was not adhering to these premises that the colonies saw fit to establish their own government in which all three would be respected . </P> <P> The Preamble to the Constitution serves to communicate the goals sought to be accomplished by specifically enumerating the powers of the United States government -- the promotion of `` the general Welfare '' is one of these goals . The Preamble does not grant any power to the government , rather it serves to explain the limits of the delegated powers listed later in the Constitution . This is to say , in the case of the general welfare clause , that the government is not allowed to exercise its powers on a whim , rather they must be exercised for the general welfare of the country . </P> <H3> The Bill of rights ( edit ) </H3> <P> With the ratification of the Constitution and the

The original mono 45 mix had a louder orchestra and glockenspiel compared to the stereo version on the Brother Love 's Travelling Salvation Show LP . The third version was a remix found only on the initial CD release of Diamond 's His 12 Greatest Hits . This version has the orchestra mixed down and has the background vocals mixed up . It has a longer fade as well . A live version of the song is on his Hot August Night LP . </P> <H2> Use at sporting events ( edit ) </H2> <P> The playing of `` Sweet Caroline '' has become a fixture at many sporting events in the United States . In this version , the horn figure after Diamond sings `` Sweet Caroline '' in the chorus is replaced by the crowd singing `` Bap Bap Bah '' , and after he sings `` Good times never seemed so good , '' the crowd sings `` So good , so good , so good . '' This pattern is repeated whenever the chorus is played . </P> <P> The song has been played at Fenway Park , home of Major League Baseball 's Boston Red Sox , since at least 1997 , and in the middle of the eighth inning at every game since 2002 . On opening night of the 2010 season at Fenway Park , the song was performed by Diamond himself . `` Sweet Caroline '' was played at Penn State Nittany Lions football games at Beaver Stadium until August 2012 , halting after the Penn State child sex abuse scandal . Performances at Beaver Stadium resumed in September 2013 , however . The song is played at the start of the fourth quarter of Pittsburgh Panthers Football games at Heinz Field . In response , West Virginia University students and fans will yell `` eat shit , Pitt '' during the refrain if heard played . It is also an unofficial song of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill , being played at athletic events and pep rallies . </P> <P> On April 16 , 2013 , the day after the Boston Marathon bombing , the New York Yankees -- longtime rivals of the Red Sox -- announced they would play the song during their home game , preceded by a moment of silence , as a tribute to the victims . On Saturday , April 20 , 2013 , during the 8th inning of the Red Sox - Kansas City game in Fenway Park , Neil Diamond led the crowd in a rendition of the song . The song was sung at sporting events across the country after the Boston Marathon bombings , in efforts to show solidarity with those affected by the tragedy . It was also played right before the start of the Hamburg Marathon in Hamburg , Germany , on Sunday , April 21 , 2013 , subsequent to a minute of silence . The song was also played before the start of the Stockholm Marathon in Stockholm , Sweden , on Saturday , June 1 , 2013 , as a tribute to those affected by the Boston Marathon bombings . </P> <P> On April 25 , 2013 , `` Sweet Caroline '' was played following a tribute to the victims of the Boston Marathon bombing during the NFL Draft . Diamond has announced that he will donate all royalties from sales of the song since the marathon bombings to the One Fund Boston charity to help the people most affected by the bombings . Diamond said that sales of the song surged nearly 600 percent in the week after the bombings , to 19,000 copies , up from 2,800 the week before . </P> <P> The song is played after every Carolina Panthers home win . </P> <P> The song is used by the Northern Ireland national football team fans at major tournaments . It is also used by the Castleford Tigers rugby league club after a win at the Mend a hose stadium . It is also used by Northern Irish darts player Daryl Gurney in his walk - on prior to matches which he plays in . </P> <P> The song is also played during the quarter

Being found in appearance as a man , He humbled Himself by becoming obedient to the point of death , even death on a cross . For this reason also , God highly exalted Him , and bestowed on Him the name which is above every name , so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow , of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth , and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord , to the glory of God the Father . </P> <P> The letter was written to the church at Philippi , one of the earliest churches to be founded in Europe . They were very attached to Paul , just as he was very fond of them . Of all the churches , their contributions ( which Paul gratefully acknowledges ) are among the only ones he accepts . ( Acts 20 : 33 -- 35 ; 2 Cor. 11 : 7 -- 12 ; 2 Thess. 3 : 8 ) . The generosity of the Philippians comes out very conspicuously ( Phil . 4 : 15 ) . `` This was a characteristic of the Macedonian missions , as 2 Cor. 8 and 9 amply and beautifully prove . It is remarkable that the Macedonian converts were , as a class , very poor ( 2 Cor. 8 : 2 ) , though the very first converts were of all classes ( Acts 16 ) ; and the parallel facts , their poverty and their open - handed support of the great missionary and his work , are deeply harmonious .

Veronica Koperski views Philippians 3 : 10 as the beginning of the analysis of the knowledge of Christ . </P> <P> While Paul 's opening prayer is for love ( 1 : 9 ) , based on knowledge of Christ , his final prayer is for the peace of God ( 4 : 7 ) , which surpasses all understanding . Thus the concepts of love , knowledge and peace are jointly developed in the Epistle . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Textual variants in the Epistle to the Philippians </Li> <Li> Cupio dissolvi </Li> </Ul> <H2> Notes ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Harris , Stephen L. , Understanding the Bible .

Sinus rhythm - wikipedia <H1> Sinus rhythm </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Schematic representation of normal sinus rhythm showing standard waves , segments , and intervals <P> A sinus rhythm is any cardiac rhythm where depolarization of the cardiac muscle begins at the sinus node . It is characterised by the presence of correctly oriented P waves on the electrocardiogram ( ECG ) . Sinus rhythm is necessary , but not sufficient , for normal electrical activity within the heart . </P> <P> The term normal sinus rhythm ( NSR ) is sometimes used to denote a specific type of sinus rhythm where all other measurements on the ECG also fall within designated normal limits , giving rise to the characteristic appearance of the ECG when the electrical conduction system of the heart is functioning normally . However , other sinus rhythms can be entirely normal in particular patient groups and clinical contexts , so the term is sometimes considered a misnomer and its use is sometimes discouraged . </P> Example of a sinus rhythm with bifascicular block . <P> Other types of sinus rhythm which can be normal include sinus tachycardia , sinus bradycardia and sinus arrhythmia . Sinus rhythms may be present together with various other cardiac arrhythmias on the same ECG . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Characteristics <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Characteristics of normal sinus rhythm </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 References </Li> <Li> 3 External links </Li> </Ul> <H2> Characteristics ( edit ) </H2> <P> For an ECG to be described as showing a sinus rhythm , the shape of the P wave in each of the 12 standard ECG leads should be consistent with a `` typical P vector '' of + 50 ° to + 80 ° . This means that the P wave should be : </P> <Ul> <Li> always positive in lead I </Li> <Li> always negative in lead aVR </Li> <Li> usually positive in leads II , aVF and III , but may be biphasic ( + / - ) </Li> <Li> any of biphasic ( - / + ) , positive or negative in lead aVL </Li> <Li> positive in all chest leads , except for V1 which may be biphasic ( + / - ) </Li> </Ul> <P> If the P waves do not meet these criteria , they must be originating from an abnormal site elsewhere in the atria and not from the sinus node ; the ECG can not therefore be classed as showing a sinus rhythm . </P> <P> In general , each P wave in a sinus rhythm is followed by a QRS complex , and the sinus rhythm therefore gives rise to the whole heart 's depolarisation . Exceptions to this include complete heart block and certain ventricular artificial pacemaker rhythms , where the P waves may be completely normal in shape , but ventricular depolarisation bears no relation to them ; in these cases , the speed of the `` sinus rhythm of the atria '' and the speed of the ventricular rhythm must be calculated separately . </P> <H3> Characteristics of normal sinus rhythm ( edit ) </H3> <P> By convention , the term `` normal sinus rhythm '' is taken to imply that not only are the P waves ( reflecting activity of the sinus node itself ) normal in morphology , but that all other ECG measurements are also normal . Criteria therefore include : </P> <Ol> <Li> Normal heart rate ( classically 60 to 100 beats per minute for an adult ) . </Li> <Li> Regular rhythm , with less than 0.16 second variation in the shortest and longest durations between successive P waves . </Li> <Li> The sinus node should pace the heart -- therefore , P waves must be round , all the same shape , and present before every QRS complex in a ratio of 1 : 1 . </Li> <Li> Normal P wave axis ( 0 to + 75 degrees ) </Li> <Li> Normal PR interval , QRS complex and QT interval . </Li> <Li> QRS complex positive in leads I , II , aVF and V3 - V6 , and negative in lead aVR . </Li> </Ol> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Hampton , John R ( 2013 ) .

sees this and runs off . Pat leaves Nikki behind after a short conversation , and chases Tiffany . He hands her a letter , in which he admits that he knows she forged Nikki 's letter and confesses that he loved her from the moment he met her , though it took him so long to come to terms with it . They share a kiss . Patrizio opens a restaurant with the money he has won , Danny grows even closer to the Solitanos , and Pat and Tiffany begin a relationship , no longer wearing their wedding rings . </P> <H2> Cast ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Bradley Cooper as Patrizio `` Pat '' Solitano , Jr. , a former teacher and recent divorcee </Li> <Li> Jennifer Lawrence as Tiffany Maxwell , a young widow </Li> <Li> Robert De Niro as Patrizio `` Pat '' Solitano , Sr. , Pat and Jake 's father </Li> <Li> Jacki Weaver as Dolores Solitano , Pat and Jake 's mother </Li> <Li> Anupam Kher as Dr. Cliff Patel , Pat 's doctor and friend </Li> <Li> Chris Tucker as Danny McDaniels , a good friend of Pat from the psychiatric hospital </Li> <Li> Julia Stiles as Veronica , Tiffany 's sister </Li> <Li> Shea Whigham as Jake Solitano , Pat 's brother </Li> <Li> John Ortiz as Ronnie , Veronica 's husband , Pat 's best friend , and Tiffany 's brother - in - law </Li> <Li> Brea Bee as Nikki , Pat 's unfaithful ex-wife </Li> <Li> Cheryl Williams as Tiffany and Veronica 's mom </Li> <Li> Patrick McDade as Tiffany and Veronica 's dad </Li> <Li> Dash Mihok as Officer Keogh </Li> <Li> Matthew Russell as Ricky D'Angelo </Li> <Li> Paul Herman as Randy </Li> <Li> Patsy Meck as Nancy : the principal of the school where Pat and Nikki worked </Li> <Li> Phillip Chorba as Tiffany Maxwell 's ex-boyfriend Jordie </Li> </Ul> <H2> Production ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Development ( edit ) </H3> <P> Renee Witt , an executive at The Weinstein Company , convinced Harvey Weinstein to option the book on which the film is based , doing so before it was published . Sydney Pollack then began developing for David O. Russell to direct . Pollack told Russell that the film adaptation would be tricky because of the story 's mixture of troubling emotion , humor , and romance . Russell estimates he rewrote the script twenty times over five years . Russell was drawn to the story because of the family relationships and the connection he felt to his own son , who has bipolar disorder and OCD . </P> <P> The film was shot on a 33 - day schedule . A darker , more extreme version of the dance sequence was filmed and scenes with De Niro 's character were shot in multiple versions , with the character harsher or warmer , as Russell worked with editor Jay Cassidy to set the balance they wanted . </P> <P> The locations are Upper Darby , Ridley Park , and Lansdowne small communities just outside Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Although not mentioned by name in the film , Ridley Park is credited at the end , and a police officer can be seen wearing the initials `` RPPD '' on his collar . </P> <P> The film takes place over the second half of the 2008 NFL football season , which saw the Philadelphia Eagles advance to the NFC Championship Game . Several games are mentioned , including the Eagles ' victories over Seattle and San Francisco , their losses to the Washington Redskins and the New York Giants ( which was the game Pat was attending when the fight broke out ) , and their victory over Dallas in the season 's final game . </P> <H3> Casting ( edit ) </H3> <P> Russell initially intended to make the film with Vince Vaughn and Zooey Deschanel , but went on to make The Fighter instead . Mark Wahlberg was set to work with Russell for the fourth time but had to drop out after delays in production created a scheduling conflict . </P> <P> Russell had originally planned to work with Bradley Cooper on an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice and Zombies , having been impressed with Cooper 's performance in Wedding Crashers , citing his `` good bad - guy energy '' and unpredictability as justification for casting . Cooper told Russell `` he had been heavier and angrier and more fearful '' at the time of that performance and had drawn on those feelings for it . Russell was excited that Cooper would bring those qualities to Pat Solitano . </P> <P> Anne Hathaway was cast as Tiffany Maxwell , but due to scheduling conflicts with The Dark Knight Rises and creative differences with Russell , she dropped out . Other actresses who were considered for the part included Elizabeth Banks , Kirsten Dunst , Angelina Jolie , Blake Lively , Rooney Mara , Rachel McAdams , Andrea Riseborough and Olivia Wilde . </P> <P> Initially , Russell did not believe Lawrence 's age was suitable for the role . He thought Lawrence ( 21 at the time of filming ) was too young to play against Cooper ( 38 ) , but her audition changed his mind , admitting that the `` expressiveness in her eyes and in her face '' was `` ageless '' . Russell compares Lawrence to the character Tiffany , describing her as confident but one of the least neurotic people he knows , with the confidence and glimpses of vulnerability needed to play Tiffany . Tiffany went through several iterations . She was initially meant to be a goth. Lawrence dyed her hair black and did test shoots in heavy goth makeup , but Weinstein disapproved . The final version of her character remained messed - up yet confident , with small goth touches such as the dark hair and a cross . Specifically for the role , Lawrence was asked by Russell to put on

, Cersei is forced to lick the water off the floors of the cell . She eventually agrees to reveal herself to the High Septon , confessing her incestuous relationship to Lancel Lannister but refusing to admit more serious offences , which would be harder for the Faith to prove . The High Sparrow allows her to leave captivity in favor of house arrest in the Red Keep , pending the trial , but only if she agrees to do `` atonement '' for her sins by being shaved and walking naked through the streets of King 's Landing . Cersei endures the walk with great resolve , bleeding and covered in filth as she eventually reaches the Keep , where she reunites with her uncle Kevan , now Hand of the King , and Qyburn , who introduces her to the newest member of the Kingsguard , a freakishly large , silent giant implied to be the reanimated corpse of Gregor Clegane . In season 6 , Cersei remains under house arrest and is not allowed to attend the funeral of Myrcella , who was ultimately killed by Ellaria Sand . Though her initial plan is to demand a trial by combat and name Gregor as her champion , she is foiled when Tommen falls under the control of the High Sparrow and abolishes the practice , stripping Cersei of her trump card . In desperation , Cersei has Qyburn look into an `` old rumour '' , which turns out to be the Mad King 's wildfire caches . On the day of her and Loras 's trial , Cersei destroys the Great Sept of Baelor with the wildfire and kills hundreds of people , including Margaery , Loras , Mace Tyrell , Kevan , Lancel , the High Sparrow and the entire Faith Militant , and also has Grand Maester Pycelle killed in his chambers . With her enemies out of the way , Cersei crowns herself Queen and names Qyburn as her Hand . In Season 7 Cersei consolidates her position through alliances with the Tarlys and with Euron Greyjoy , who help her to capture Highgarden , destroy much of Daenerys ' fleet and take revenge on Ellaria Sand and the Sand Snakes . She tells Jamie she is pregnant and it pleases him when she says that she will name him as the father . Cersei agrees to Tyrion 's request for a parley with the Targaryen party , and is visibly shocked by the wight that has been brought south . She agrees to send a military force north to help the fight against the Army of the Dead , but reveals to Jamie that she has no intention of keeping her word . Jamie argues , and although Cersei threatens to have him killed she takes no action against him as he leaves her to go north . </P> <H3> Daenerys Targaryen ( edit ) </H3> Emilia Clarke Main article : Daenerys Targaryen <P> Daenerys Targaryen ( season 1 -- present ) portrayed by Emilia Clarke . Daenerys Targaryen is the exiled princess of the Targaryen dynasty . Also called `` the Stormborn '' , she and her brother Viserys were smuggled to Essos during the end of Robert 's Rebellion . For seventeen years , she has been under the care of Viserys , whom she fears , as he is abusive to her whenever she displeases him . In exchange for an army , Viserys marries her to the powerful Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo , making her a Khaleesi , a queen of the Dothraki . Daenerys is at first afraid of her new husband but after learning the Dothraki language , she manages to get past their barriers . She begins to understand him and genuinely falls in love with him after learning Drogo is an intelligent leader and a kind man . After embracing the Dothraki culture , she becomes stronger and rebels against her brother . She later becomes pregnant with Drogo 's son who is prophesied by the Dothraki to be the `` Stallion Who Mounts the World '' . After her brother 's death and an assassination attempt by Robert Baratheon , Drogo vows to Daenerys that he will conquer the Seven Kingdoms for her and their unborn son . However , during their journey Drogo suffers from blood poisoning due to an infected wound incurred during a fight with a Dothraki tribesman . Daenerys is forced to seek the help of healer Mirri Maz Duur to save his life using blood magic . Mirri tricks Daenerys by using her unborn son 's life as a sacrifice to heal Drogo , leaving him in a permanent catatonic state , and forcing Daenerys to end her husband 's life . Losing both her husband and son , Daenerys punishes Mirri by having her burnt at the stake . She also lays the three dragon eggs she received as a wedding gift onto Khal Drogo 's body , then steps into the burning funeral pyre . After the fire extinguishes itself , the Khaleesi and three baby dragons , named Drogon , Rhaegal , and Viserion , are found alive and unharmed . Daenerys takes the baby dragons and the remaining tribe to gather new allies and reclaim the Iron Throne . She becomes the first female Dothraki leader . In Season 2 , she is lost in the Red Waste , a stretch of barren land . She and her khalasar eventually make it to Qarth , where the nobles are more interested in her dragons than her conquering Westeros . When her dragons are stolen by Pyat Pree , she goes into the House of the Undying and retrieves them , killing Pyat Pree . In the second season 's finale , she imprisons her host Xaro Xoan Daxos for having helped Pyat Pree . Her horde loot Xaro 's mansion to buy a ship . Daenerys travels from Qarth to Astapor , a city in Slaver 's Bay , where she negotiates the purchase of elite eunuch soldiers

America , at the time Britain 's most populous overseas possession , is seen by some historians as the event defining the transition between the `` first '' and `` second '' empires , in which Britain shifted its attention away from the Americas to Asia , the Pacific and later Africa . Adam Smith 's Wealth of Nations , published in 1776 , had argued that colonies were redundant , and that free trade should replace the old mercantilist policies that had characterised the first period of colonial expansion , dating back to the protectionism of Spain and Portugal . The growth of trade between the newly independent United States and Britain after 1783 seemed to confirm Smith 's view that political control was not necessary for economic success . </P> <P> The war to the south influenced British policy in Canada , where between 40,000 and 100,000 defeated Loyalists had migrated from the new United States following independence . The 14,000 Loyalists who went to the Saint John and Saint Croix river valleys , then part of Nova Scotia , felt too far removed from the provincial government in Halifax , so London split off New Brunswick as a separate colony in 1784 . The Constitutional Act of 1791 created the provinces of Upper Canada ( mainly English - speaking ) and Lower Canada ( mainly French - speaking ) to defuse tensions between the French and British communities , and implemented governmental systems similar to those employed in Britain , with the intention of asserting imperial authority and not allowing the sort of popular control of government that was perceived to have led to the American Revolution . </P> <P> Tensions between Britain and the United States escalated again during the Napoleonic Wars , as Britain tried to cut off American trade with France and boarded American ships to impress men into the Royal Navy . The US declared war , the War of 1812 , and invaded Canadian territory . In response Britain invaded the US , but the pre-war boundaries were reaffirmed by the 1814 Treaty of Ghent , ensuring Canada 's future would be separate from that of the United States . </P> <H2> Rise of the `` Second '' British Empire ( 1783 -- 1815 ) </H2> <H3> Exploration of the Pacific </H3> James Cook 's mission was to find the alleged southern continent Terra Australis . <P> Since 1718 , transportation to the American colonies had been a penalty for various offences in Britain , with approximately one thousand convicts transported per year across the Atlantic . Forced to find an alternative location after the loss of the Thirteen Colonies in 1783 , the British government turned to the newly discovered lands of Australia . The western coast of Australia had been discovered for Europeans by the Dutch explorer Willem Janszoon in 1606 and was later named New Holland by the Dutch East India Company , but there was no attempt to colonise it . In 1770 James Cook discovered the eastern coast of Australia while on a scientific voyage to the South Pacific Ocean , claimed the continent for Britain , and named it New South Wales . In 1778 , Joseph Banks , Cook 's botanist on the voyage , presented evidence to the government on the suitability of Botany Bay for the establishment of a penal settlement , and in 1787 the first shipment of convicts set sail , arriving in 1788 . Britain continued to transport convicts to New South Wales until 1840 . The Australian colonies became profitable exporters of wool and gold , mainly because of gold rushes in the colony of Victoria , making its capital Melbourne for a time the richest city in the world and the second largest city ( after London ) in the British Empire . </P> <P> During his voyage , Cook also visited New Zealand , first discovered by Dutch explorer Abel Tasman in 1642 , and claimed the North and South islands for the British crown in 1769 and 1770 respectively . Initially , interaction between the indigenous Māori population and Europeans was limited to the trading of goods . European settlement increased through the early decades of the 19th century , with numerous trading stations established , especially in the North . In 1839 , the New Zealand Company announced plans to buy large tracts of land and establish colonies in New Zealand . On 6 February 1840 , Captain William Hobson and around 40 Maori chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi . This treaty is considered by many to be New Zealand 's founding document , but differing interpretations of the Maori and English versions of the text have meant that it continues to be a source of dispute . </P> <H3> War with Napoleonic France </H3> Main article : Napoleonic Wars <P> Britain was challenged again by France under Napoleon , in a struggle that , unlike previous wars , represented a contest of ideologies between the two nations . It was not only Britain 's position on the world stage that was at risk : Napoleon threatened to invade Britain itself , just as his armies had overrun many countries of continental Europe . </P> The Battle of Waterloo ended in the defeat of Napoleon . <P> The Napoleonic Wars were therefore ones in which Britain invested large amounts of capital and resources to win . French ports were blockaded by the Royal Navy , which won a decisive victory over a Franco - Spanish fleet at Trafalgar in 1805 . Overseas colonies were attacked and occupied , including those of the Netherlands , which was annexed by Napoleon in 1810 . France was finally defeated by a coalition of European armies in 1815 . Britain was again the beneficiary of peace treaties : France ceded the Ionian Islands , Malta ( which it had occupied in 1797 and 1798 respectively ) , Mauritius , Saint Lucia , and Tobago ; Spain ceded Trinidad ; the Netherlands Guyana , and the Cape Colony . Britain returned Guadeloupe ,

system . Before an NRB is placed on the patient , the reservoir bag is inflated to greater than two - thirds full of oxygen , at a rate of 15 liters per minute ( lpm ) . Approximately 1 ⁄ 3 of the air from the reservoir is depleted as the patient inhales , and it is then replaced by the flow from the O supply . If the bag becomes completely deflated , the patient will no longer have a source of air to breathe . </P> <P> Exhaled air is directed through a one - way valve in the mask , which prevents the inhalation of room air and the re-inhalation of exhaled air . The valve , along with a sufficient seal around the patient 's nose and mouth , allows for the administration of high concentrations of oxygen , approximately 60 % - 80 % O. Many textbooks report higher oxygen concentrations , however formal studies reporting these levels are not referenced to research . The patient must partially deflate the reservoir bag during inspiration or the high oxygen concentration will not be achieved , and the mask will provide only the liter flow rate setting on the flowmeter . </P> <P> Ideally , a non-rebreather mask would not permit air from the surrounding environment to be inhaled . However , due to safety concerns regarding anti-suffocation protection in the event of a source gas failure ( i.e. the oxygen cylinder being drained completely ) , one of the two one - way valves is normally removed , allowing inhalation of outside air to a significant degree . However , as almost all non-rebreathing masks are disposable , and manufactured in 1 adult size , most ( from decades of clinical observation ) do not provide a good seal with an individual patient 's face , thus permitting the inflow of large amounts of ambient air ( air follows the path of least resistance ) , and diluting the oxygen provided . Hence , very few patients receive anything close to 100 % oxygen . Very high flows ( > = 30 LPM ) from the oxygen flowmeter are required to partially overcome room air dilution . Further , the larger the patient 's inspiratory flow rate , the greater the dilution from air . Very little effort is required by most patients , to inspire at flow rates in excess of 50 LPM ( easily seen in the pulmonary function lab with routine spirometric testing ) . </P> <P> Partial rebreather masks are designed to capture the first 150ml of the exhaled breath into the reservoir bag for inhalation during the subsequent breath . This portion of the breath was initially delivered at the end of inhalation and was therefore delivered to the `` deadspace '' anatomy where gas exchange did not occur . Therefore , there would be no depletion of oxygen nor gain of carbon dioxide during the rebreathing component . </P> <H2> Usage ( edit ) </H2> <P> The non-rebreather mask is utilized for patients with physical trauma , chronic airway limitation , cluster headache , smoke inhalation , and carbon monoxide poisoning , or any other patients who require high - concentration oxygen , but do not require breathing assistance . Patients uncomfortable with having a mask on their face , such as those with claustrophobia , or patients with injuries to the mouth are more likely to benefit from a nasal cannula , or passive ( `` blow - by '' ) oxygen . Patients who are unable to breathe on their own would require invasive or noninvasive mechanical ventilation . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Oxygen therapy </Li> <Li> Nasal cannula </Li> <Li> Bag valve mask </Li> </Ul> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Daniel Limmer , EMT - P ; Michael F O'Keefe , MS , EMT - P ( 2009 ) .

With few exceptions , animals are motile ( able to move ) , heterotrophic ( consume organic material ) , reproduce sexually , and their embryonic development includes a blastula stage . The body plan of the animal derives from this blastula , differentiating specialized tissues and organs as it develops ; this plan eventually becomes fixed , although some undergo metamorphosis at some stage in their lives . </P> <P> Zoology is the study of animals . Currently there are over 66 thousand ( less than 5 % of all animals ) vertebrate species , and over 1.3 million ( over 95 % of all animals ) invertebrate species in existence . Classification of animals into groups ( taxonomy ) is accomplished using either the hierarchical Linnaean system ; or cladistics , which displays diagrams ( phylogenetic trees ) called cladograms to show relationships based on the evolutionary principle of the most recent common ancestor . Some recent classifications based on modern cladistics have explicitly abandoned the term `` kingdom '' , noting that the traditional kingdoms are not monophyletic , i.e. , do not consist of all the descendants of a common ancestor . </P> <P> Animals are divided by body plan into vertebrates and invertebrates . Vertebrates -- fishes , amphibians , reptiles , birds , and mammals -- have a vertebral column ( spine ) ; invertebrates do not . All vertebrates and most invertebrates are bilaterally symmetrical ( Bilateria ) . Invertebrates include arthropods , molluscs , roundworms , ringed worms , flatworms , and other phyla in Ecdysozoa and Spiralia . Echinoderm larvae are initially bilaterally symmetrical , but later as adults develop radial symmetry ; Cnidarians are radially symmetrical ; ctenophores are biradially symmetrical ; and sponges have no symmetry . </P> <P> Animal phyla appeared in the fossil record as marine species during the Cambrian explosion , about 542 million years ago .

The biological definition of the word refers to all members of the kingdom Animalia , encompassing creatures as diverse as sponges , jellyfish , insects , and humans . In everyday non-scientific usage , the word often implies exclusion of humans -- that is , `` animal '' is used to refer only to non-human members of the kingdom Animalia ; sometimes , only closer relatives of humans such as mammals and other vertebrates , are meant . </P> <H2> Characteristics </H2> <P> Animals have several characteristics that set them apart from other living things . Animals are eukaryotic and multicellular , which separates them from bacteria and most protists , which are prokaryotic and unicellular . They are heterotrophic , generally digesting food in an internal chamber , which separates them from plants and algae , which are autotrophs . They lack rigid cell walls , which separates them from plants , algae , and fungi , all of which do have rigid cell walls . All animals are motile , if only at certain life stages . In most animals , embryos pass through a blastula stage , which is a characteristic exclusive to animals , and which allows for differentiation into specialized tissues and organs . </P> <H3> Structure </H3> <P> All animals are composed of eukaryotic cells , surrounded by a characteristic extracellular matrix composed of collagen and elastic

'' She did not start to write until January 2009 , as she revealed while still active on FanFiction.Net : `` I started writing in January 2009 after I finished the Twilight saga , and I have n't stopped since .

There was an initial disagreement between the two writers over the song 's melody : Leiber ( who wrote the lyrics ) preferred a traditional blues song , while Stoller wanted a more distinctive vocal line ; Stoller ultimately prevailed . They taught the song to Littlefield at Maxwell Davis ' house , who arranged and provided the tenor sax for the song .

to the novels . </P> <P> In January 2014 , Martin 's UK publisher , Jane Johnson , declared on Twitter that the book would `` certainly '' not be published before 2015 . In September 2014 Johnson stated that the book was `` not a 2015 release '' , a statement she repeated in January 2015 . In April 2015 , Martin commented on his blog that The Winds of Winter will not be eligible for the 2016 Hugo Award which is awarded for science fiction or fantasy works of the previous year but he also said he would like to have it published before the sixth season of the HBO series Game of Thrones ( which would cover material from the book ) aired in 2016 . In Autumn 2015 , statements made by the Spanish editor and the Polish translator of the novel indicated that it was expected to be published in 2016 . </P> <P> In early January 2016 , Martin confirmed on his Live Journal that he had not met an end - of - year deadline that he had established with his publisher for release of the book before the sixth season of the HBO show . He added that there was `` a lot still left to write '' and that completion of the book was `` months away still ... if the writing goes well '' . Martin also revealed there had been a previous deadline of October 2015 that he had considered achievable in May 2015 , and that in September 2015 he had still considered the end - of - year deadline achievable . He further confirmed that some of the plot of the book might be revealed in the upcoming season of Game of Thrones but one of the showrunners , David Benioff , claimed that while certain key elements would be the same , the show would diverge from the book in many respects . In February 2016 , Martin stated that he had dropped all his editing projects except for Wild Cards , and that he would not be writing any teleplays , screenplays , short stories , introductions or forewords before delivering The Winds of Winter . </P> <P> In September 2014 , Walt Hickey of FiveThirtyEight and Christopher Ingraham of the Washington Post estimated the release date sometime between 2015 and 2018 , based on extrapolation of Martin 's writing pace . In 2017 , Goodreads advertised its expected publication in 2020 . </P> <P> On January 10 , 2017 , Martin announced on his blog in a response to a comment that he believed that The Winds of Winter will be released `` this year '' , referring to 2017 . However , he also noted that he believed the same thing would occur the previous year . He confirmed on his blog that he was still working on The Winds of Winter as of July 22 , 2017 , being `` still months away '' from finishing the book . He also indicated that it may not be published until 2018 or later . </P> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> ^ Jump up to : `` George R.R. Martin Webchat Transcript '' . empireonline.com.

Historically and cartographically , it consists of present - day Bayelsa , Delta , and Rivers States . In 2000 , however , Obasanjo 's regime included Abia , Akwa - Ibom , Cross River State , Edo , Imo and Ondo States in the region . Some 31 million people of more than 40 ethnic groups including the Bini , Efik , Esan , Ibibio , Igbo , Annang , Yoruba , Oron , Ijaw , Ikwerre , Itsekiri , Isoko , Urhobo , Ukwuani , Kalabari , Okrika and Ogoni , are among the inhabitants of the political Niger Delta , speaking about 250 different dialects . </P> <P> The Niger Delta , and the South South geopolitical zone ( which contains six of the states in Niger Delta ) are two different entities . The Niger Delta separates the Bight of Benin from the Bight of Bonny within the larger Gulf of Guinea . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Colonial period ( edit ) </H3> <P> The area was the British Oil Rivers Protectorate from 1885 until 1893 , when it was expanded and became the Niger Coast Protectorate . </P> <P> The core Niger Delta later became a part of the eastern region of Nigeria , which came into being in 1951 ( one of the three regions , and later one of the four regions ) . The majority of the people were those from the colonial Calabar and Ogoja divisions , the present - day Ogoja , Annang , Ibibio , Oron , Efik , and Ijaw peoples . The National Council of Nigeria and Cameroon ( NCNC ) was the ruling political party of the region . The NCNC later became the National Convention of Nigerian Citizens , after western Cameroon decided to separate from Nigeria . The ruling party of eastern Nigeria did not seek to preclude the separation and even encouraged it . The then Eastern Region had the second , fourth and fifth largest indigenous ethnic groups in the country including Igbo , Efik - Ibibio and Ijaw . </P> <P> In 1953 , the old eastern region had a major crisis due to the expulsion of professor Eyo Ita from office by the majority Igbo tribe of the old eastern region . Ita , an Efik man from Calabar , was one of the pioneer nationalists for Nigerian independence . The minorities in the region , the Ibibio , Annang , Efik , Ijaw and Ogoja , were situated along the southeastern coast and in the delta region and demanded a state of their own , the Calabar - Ogoja - Rivers ( COR ) state . The struggle for the creation of the COR state continued and was a major issue concerning the status of minorities in Nigeria during debates in Europe on Nigerian independence . As a result of this crisis , Professor Eyo Ita left the NCNC to form a new political party called the National Independence Party ( NIP ) which was one of the five Nigerian political parties represented at the conferences on Nigerian Constitution and Independence . </P> <H3> Post-colonial period ( edit ) </H3> <P> In 1961 , another major crisis occurred when the then eastern

Record torrential spring rains washed fertilizer into the lake , promoting the growth of microcystin producing cyanobacteria blooms . <P> An algal bloom is a rapid increase or accumulation in the population of algae in freshwater or marine water systems , and is recognized by the discoloration in the water from their pigments . Cyanobacteria were mistaken for algae in the past , so cyanobacterial blooms are sometimes also called algal blooms . Blooms which can injure animals or the ecology are called `` harmful algal blooms '' ( HAB ) , and can lead to fish die - offs , cities cutting off water to residents , or states having to close fisheries . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Blooming </Li> <Li> 2 Freshwater algal blooms </Li> <Li> 3 Harmful algal blooms <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Background </Li> <Li> 3.2 Red tides </Li> <Li> 3.3 Causes of HABs </Li> <Li> 3.4 Researching solutions </Li> <Li> 3.5 Notable occurrences </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 Further reading </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Blooming ( edit ) </H2> Algal blooms can present problems for ecosystems and human society . <P> Since ' algae ' is a broad term including organisms of widely varying sizes , growth rates and nutrient requirements , there is no officially recognized threshold level as to what is defined as a bloom . For some species , algae can be considered to be blooming at concentrations reaching millions of cells per milliliter , while others form blooms of tens of thousands of cells per liter . The photosynthetic pigments in the algal cells determine the color of the algal bloom , and are thus often a greenish color , but they can also be a wide variety of other colors such as yellow , brown or red , depending on the species of algae and the type of pigments contained therein . </P> <P> Bright green blooms in freshwater systems are frequently a result of cyanobacteria ( colloquially known as `` blue - green algae '' as a result of their confusing taxonomical history ) such as Microcystis . Blooms may also consist of macroalgal ( non-phytoplanktonic ) species . These blooms are recognizable by large blades of algae that may wash up onto the shoreline . </P> <P> Of particular note are harmful algal blooms ( HABs ) , which are algal bloom events involving toxic or otherwise harmful phytoplankton such as dinoflagellates of the genus Alexandrium and Karenia , or diatoms of the genus Pseudo-nitzschia . Such blooms often take on a red or brown hue and are known colloquially as red tides . </P> <H2> Freshwater algal blooms ( edit ) </H2> Further information : Nutrient pollution and Eutrophication <P> Freshwater algal blooms are the result of an excess of nutrients , particularly some phosphates . The excess of nutrients may originate from fertilizers that are applied to land for agricultural or recreational purposes . They may also originate from household cleaning products containing phosphorus . These nutrients can then enter watersheds through water runoff . Excess carbon and nitrogen have also been suspected as causes . Presence of residual sodium carbonate acts as catalyst for the algae to bloom by providing dissolved carbon dioxide for enhanced photosynthesis in the presence of nutrients . </P> <P> When phosphates are introduced into water systems , higher concentrations cause increased growth of algae and plants . Algae tend to grow very quickly under high nutrient availability , but each alga is short - lived , and the result is a high concentration of dead organic matter which starts to decay . The decay process consumes dissolved oxygen in the water , resulting in hypoxic conditions . Without sufficient dissolved oxygen in the water , animals and plants may die off in large numbers . Use of an Olszewski tube can help combat these problems with hypolimnetic withdrawal . </P> <P> Blooms may be observed in freshwater aquariums when fish are overfed and excess nutrients are not absorbed by plants . These are generally harmful for fish , and the situation can be corrected by changing the water in the tank and then reducing the amount of food given . </P> <H2> Harmful algal blooms ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Harmful algal blooms An algae bloom off the southern coast of Devon and Cornwall in England , in 1999 Satellite image of phytoplankton swirling around the Swedish island of Gotland in the Baltic Sea , in 2005 <P> A harmful algal bloom ( HAB ) is an algal bloom that causes negative impacts to other organisms via production of natural toxins , mechanical damage to other organisms , or by other means . HABs are often associated with large - scale marine mortality events and have been associated with various types of shellfish poisonings . </P> <P> In studies at the population level bloom coverage has been significantly related to the risk of non-alcoholic liver disease death . </P> <H3> Background ( edit ) </H3> <P> In the marine environment , single - celled , microscopic , plant - like organisms naturally occur in the well - lit surface layer of any body of water .

Based in Kyoto , Japan , the business produced and marketed Hanafuda cards . The name `` Nintendo '' is commonly assumed to mean `` leave luck to heaven '' , but there are no historical records to validate this assumption . The cards , which were all handmade , soon began to gain in popularity , and Yamauchi had to hire assistants to mass - produce cards to keep up with the demand . </P> <P> Fusajiro Yamauchi did not have a son to take over the family business . Following common Japanese tradition , he adopted his son - in - law , Sekiryo Yamauchi , ( after the wife ) . In 1929 , Yamauchi retired from the company and allowed Sekiryo Yamauchi to take over the company as president . In 1933 , Sekiryo Yamauchi established a joint venture with another company and renamed the company Yamauchi Nintendo & Co . </P> <P> In 1947 , Sekiryo established a distribution company , Marufuku Co. , Ltd. , to distribute the Hanafuda cards , as well as several other brands of cards that had been introduced by Nintendo . Sekiryo Yamauchi also had only daughters , so again his son - in - law ( Shikanojo Inaba , renamed Shikanojo Yamauchi ) was adopted into the family . Shikanojo never became president because he abandoned his family . Subsequently , his son Hiroshi was brought up by his grandparents .

In 1951 , he renamed `` Marufuku Co. Ltd . '' to `` Nintendo Playing Card Co. , Ltd . '' In 1953 , Nintendo became the first company in Japan to produce playing cards from plastic . </P> <P> In 1956 , Yamauchi visited the U.S. , to engage in talks with the United States Playing Card Company , the dominant playing card manufacturer in the United States . He was shocked to find that the world 's biggest company in his business was relegated to using a small office . This was a turning point for Yamauchi , who then realized the limitations of the playing card business . </P> <P> In 1959 , Nintendo struck a deal with Disney to allow the use Disney 's characters on Nintendo 's playing cards . Previously , Western playing cards were regarded as something similar to hanafuda and mahjong : a device for gambling . By tying playing cards to Disney and selling books explaining the different games one could play with the cards , Nintendo could sell the product to Japanese households . The tie - in was a success and the company sold at least 600,000 card packs in a single year . Due to this success , in 1962 , Yamauchi took Nintendo public , listing the company in Osaka Stock Exchange Second division . </P> <P> Following the aforementioned success , in 1963 Nintendo Playing Card Co. , Ltd. was renamed to Nintendo by Yamauchi . Nintendo now began to experiment in other areas of business using the newly injected capital . During the period of time between 1963 and 1968 , Nintendo set up a taxi company , `` love hotel '' chain , food company ( trying to sell instant rice , similar to instant noodles ) and several other things ( including a vacuum cleaner , Chiritory , which later appeared as a two - player game in WarioWare , Inc. : Mega Microgame $ in 2003 ) . All these ventures eventually failed , except toymaking , where they had some earlier experience from selling playing cards .

Kennedy in June 1963 , but opposed by filibuster in the Senate . Thereafter , President Lyndon B. Johnson pushed the bill forward , which in its final form was passed in the U.S. Congress by a Senate vote of 73 - 27 and House vote of 289 - 126 ( 70 % - 30 % ) .

Kennedy addresses the nation about civil rights on June 11 , 1963 . <P> The bill was called for by President John F. Kennedy in his Report to the American People on Civil Rights of June 11 , 1963 , in which he asked for legislation `` giving all Americans the right to be served in facilities which are open to the public -- hotels , restaurants , theaters , retail stores , and similar establishments '' , as well as `` greater protection for the right to vote '' . Kennedy delivered this speech following the immediate aftermath of the Birmingham campaign and the growing number of demonstrations and protests throughout the southern United States . Kennedy was moved to action following the elevated racial tensions and wave of black riots in the spring 1963 . </P> <P> Emulating the Civil Rights Act of 1875 , Kennedy 's civil rights bill included provisions to ban discrimination in public accommodations , and to enable the U.S. Attorney General to join in lawsuits against state governments which operated segregated school systems , among other provisions . However , it did not include a number of provisions deemed essential by civil rights leaders including protection against police brutality , ending discrimination in private employment , or granting the Justice Department power to initiate desegregation or job discrimination lawsuits . </P> <H2> Legislative History ( edit ) </H2> <H3> House of Representatives ( edit ) </H3> Lyndon B. Johnson signs the Civil Rights Act of 1964 . Among the guests behind him is Martin Luther King , Jr . <P> On June 11 , 1963 , President Kennedy met with the Republican leaders to discuss the legislation before his television address to the nation that evening . Two days later , Senate Minority Leader Everett Dirksen and Senate Majority Leader Mike Mansfield both voiced support for the president 's bill , except for provisions guaranteeing equal access to places of public accommodations . This led to several Republican Congressmen drafting a compromise bill to be considered . On June 19 , the president sent his bill to Congress as it was originally written , saying legislative action was `` imperative '' . The president 's bill went first to the House of Representatives , where it was referred to the Judiciary Committee , chaired by Emanuel Celler , a Democrat from New York . After a series of hearings on the bill , Celler 's committee strengthened the act , adding provisions to ban racial discrimination in employment , providing greater protection to black voters , eliminating segregation in all publicly owned facilities ( not just schools ) , and strengthening the anti-segregation clauses regarding public facilities such as lunch counters . They also added authorization for the Attorney General to file lawsuits to protect individuals against the deprivation of any rights secured by the Constitution or U.S. law . In essence , this was the controversial `` Title III '' that had been removed from the 1957 and 1960 Acts . Civil rights organizations pressed hard for this provision because it could be used to protect peaceful protesters and black voters from police brutality and suppression of free speech rights . </P> <P> Kennedy called the congressional leaders to the White House in late October , 1963 to line up the necessary
