"text": "NFLJay Cutler and the 25 Most Hated Players in the NFLAdam Wells January 25, 2011Jamie Squire/Getty Images Jay Cutler has become public enemy No. 1 in the NFL over the last two days. He left the NFC Championship Game with an apparent knee injury. As soon as he was taken out everyone and their brother was waiting to jump on him via twitter or facebook or some kind of social networking site. A couple days later and Cutler is still getting very little sympathy from anyone, though with the diagnosis of a sprained MCL some of the analysts that were taking him to task have backed off a bit. Still, it will be hard for him to win back the fans, who perceive his indifferent expression throughout the game as not caring about what happens. With the newfound hatred of Cutler, it got us thinking about the most hated players in the NFL. As much as America loves the sport, there are a number of players that make it very easy to despise them. A lot of them are wide receivers because they complain that they are always open and want to throw their quarterbacks under the bus. So who joins Cutler on the list of most hated NFL players right now?"

There are plenty of ways to decide the wealth and income of a city but in my eyes, per capita income is the truest form to judge income per city. When I was a pharmaceutical rep in Chicago, I had the pleasure of getting to know these places quite well and hope I can introduce them to the world! So without further adieu, here are the top 10 wealthiest Illinois suburbs of Chicago. Kenilworth, Illinois$104,086Credit: northshoreviews.com Median Family Income: $250,000+Median Home Price: $1,000,000+Population: 2,513When it comes to the wealthy suburbs of Chicago, Kenilworth has to be at the top of everybody's list. Located on the North Shore of Lake Michigan, in January 2011, Forbes.com ranked Kenilworth as the second most affluent neighborhood in the United States, calling it \"\"the most exclusive neighborhood in the Midwest... Even after the housing slump the average house in Kenilworth sells for about $1 million.\"\" For one of the wealthiest communities in the United States, Kenilworth has a surprisingly normal median age of just 42.4 years. The Kenilworth Club, a community center of sorts in the middle of the village, hosts town gatherings as well as local band concerts, whose performers have been coined the \"\"North Shore Scene\"\". Glencoe, Illinois$101,649Credit: http://www.villageofglencoe.org/Median Family: $211,111Median Home: $971,000Population: 8,723Another North Shore community that has a bit more fame than Kenilworth, Glencoe was where Ferris Bueller's Day Off was filmed and where Risky Business was set, although it was actually filmed in the Chicago suburb of Highland Park. With forest preserves secluding Glencoe to the North and West, this lake shore city boasts architecture designed by Frank Lloyd Wright and access to some of the finest private schools in the area."

"text": "THE BLOG 11/13/2012 03:03 pm ET Updated Jan 13, 20138 Tips for Writing a Great Press Release By Zach Cutler Press releases are an essential element of any public relations strategy. These short, compelling documents detail product releases, event announcements and other newsworthy items a company produces. As CEO of the tech PR firm Cutler Group, it’s my job to help take the business dealings of innovative tech startups and turn them into press coverage — and one of the first steps my team and I take is writing good press releases on our clients’ behalf. Indeed, great press releases do more than keep the media and the industry-at-large informed of your company’s recent developments. They are meant to pique the interest of journalists, who may seek to cover the topic further. Crafting a great press release is often the first step in securing a magazine feature or television interview — and thus, more visibility and new customers. Considering that journalists are flooded with potential stories and pitches on a daily basis, making yours stand out from the pack is crucial. While the format for a press release is basic, the content of the release should be anything but. Follow these eight tips to write a great press release that will make your company look professional, accessible and attractive to writers looking for stories.1. Grab attention with a good headline."

As of the 2000 census, the area was known as the census-designated place of Cutler Ridge, which had a total population of 24,781. In August 1992, the area was slammed by Hurricane Andrew. In August 2005, the area was hit with serious floods from Hurricane Katrina, which by radar estimates dropped over 20 inches or 500 mm of rainfall. On January 11, 2005, residents on this unincorporated community voted to incorporate. In November 2005, residents adopted the municipal charter in which the fledgling city was renamed Cutler Bay. Both the current and former names were derived from the former town of Cutler, which existed at the turn of the century but was disincorporated during the depression. The actual location of Cutler was not within the current city limits of Cutler Bay, but was in fact two miles (3 km) to the north, east of the former Perrine and inside the boundaries of the current municipality of Palmetto Bay."

"text": "\"Bears Subscribe: Will former Bears QB Jay Cutler find a team to play for in 2017? By John Mullin March 28, 2017 11:40 AMPHOENIX – As Jay Cutler left his berth with the Bears, the links of him to myriad other NFL teams immediately began. And have gone nowhere, this despite a league-wide shortage of actual quarterbacks. Not that this carries any import for the Bears, unless he winds up in the NFC North somewhere, but the question would then be: Why? One notion that refuses to disappear around the NFL owners meetings, including thoughts of coaches, is that no one is really sure Cutler even wants to keep playing. If Cutler clearly wanted to continue life as an NFL quarterback, the answers to \"\"does he want to play?\"\" would presumably be variations of a strong \"\"Yes\"\" but those weren't to be had. \"\" I can't answer that. It's a question for him,\"\" said Adam Gase, who as Bears offensive coordinator got the best out of Cutler in 2015 before himself leaving to become the head coach the Miami Dolphins. Gase was in touch with Cutler after the quarterback's release by the Bears, texting Cutler and offering him any advice on possible new team situations. ["

Dr. Cutler was interviewed for this Reuters Health article when she presented her research in San Francisco at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists meeting. Excerpted by Athena Institute May 23, 2000. By Theresa Tamkins Although most women can achieve orgasm by clitoral stimulation, a new survey suggests that many older women also experience orgasm with stimulation of the vagina or cervix, according to a Pennsylvania researcher. This finding suggests that women who undergo hysterectomy (click for more details) may lose at least some of their sexual sensation after surgery--although they seem to have orgasms as often as women who have not had a hysterectomy, reported Dr. Winnifred Cutler here on Monday at the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists meeting. What's more, the study results appear to counter previous studies that suggested hysterectomy doesn't hurt--and may even enhance--a woman's sex life, she said. \"\" Our ultimate goal of the study is to understand the role of the uterus in human sexual response because one in two American women (has a) hysterectomy,\"\" said Cutler, who is the founder of the Athena Institute for Women's Wellness (click for bio), a research facility based in Chester Springs, which focuses on relationships between behavior and physiology. \"\" If the uterus has a role to play in sexual response that's very important information for both gynecologists and American women to know about,\"\" she told Reuters Health. In a survey of 110 women with an average age of 48 who had not undergone hysterectomy, 82% reported that clitoral stimulation contributed to orgasm, 39% said vaginal stimulation did and 17% said cervical stimulation did."

When you remove the carpet to find either damaged treads or contractor-grade stairs that were always intended to be covered, laminate can, in fact, be an ideal choice for creating the look you want. Laminate is typically less expensive than hardwood and durable enough to be installed in high traffic areas such as stairs. Installing laminate on stairs requires more precise cuts than in other areas. However, with the right tools and techniques, a do-it-yourselfer can achieve beautiful results.1Remove the carpeting. Starting near the top of the stairs, use pliers to pull up the carpet from a corner, freeing it from the tack strip or staples that hold it in place. Pull the carpet with your hands down the stairway. It will either come up in one large piece or in sections, depending upon how it was installed.2Pull the carpet padding up with your hands and remove any remaining staples with pliers. Pry up the tack strips with a pry bar.3Inspect the stair treads for flatness. Laminate flooring installation requires a perfectly flat surface."

Laminate flooring, because of its durability, is a very hard material. While any type of saw (table, circular, jigsaw, etc.) can be used to cut planks, the type of blade used can make a huge difference.1. Teeth of the Blade The first thing to remember is to use a blade with as many teeth as possible. Depending on the size of the saw, tooth-count could be over 100. A blade with 100 teeth or more will lead to a clean cut without jagged edges, a must have for a clean looking cut.2. Blade Strength Be sure that the teeth of the blade are going to stand up!

One is to disassemble the floor down to the damaged board, replace the board and reassemble the floor. That option isn't always practical, especially in large rooms filled with furniture. The other option is to cut out the damaged board and glue in a replacement. It's a job that requires carpentry skills, but it isn't as difficult as replacing a board on a hardwood floor. You'll get good results if you measure carefully and cut with a sure hand. Removing a Damaged Board1Draw a line down the center of the damaged board using a straightedge and pencil. The line should span the length of the board.2Set the cutting depth of a circular saw blade to 1/8 inch more than the thickness of the boards.

Laminate flooring consists mostly of wood. It is resistant to burns, scratches, and heat, and very easy to maintain. Before you start installing laminate flooring, remember to leave unopened cartons of flooring in the room in which they will be installed, so the laminate has a chance to acclimate.01 Tools Needed to Install Laminate Flooring•••You will need the following: Safety Glasses/Dust Mask Tape Measure Pencil Utility Knife Carpenters glue Undercut saw Hammer Adhesive tape Chisel Circular or Table Saw with carbide tip blade02 Laminate Flooring: Verify the Surface•••Before starting, make sure that the surface on which the laminate flooring will be installed is flat, so that the new flooring will be flat as well. Be sure that the floors are clean, dry and that all glue or debris has been removed. If you are installing over a concrete subfloor or over concrete covered by tiles, place a 6 mil plastic sheet vapor barrier and verify that all seams are sealed. Do not use plastic sheeting over an existing wood floor.03 Laminate Flooring: Measure the Room For a nice laminate flooring installation, it is important that the first and last planks have the same width or are approximately equal in size, and the length of the first and last planks should be approximately equal, as well. To have end planks with the same width, measure the room wall to wall and divide by the width of one plank. If the remainder is less than 12 inches, divide it by two and this will be the width of both planks. Repeat the procedure, this time measuring the length of the room.04 Laminate Flooring: Mix Planks•••When possible, install planks with their length parallel to incoming sunlight."

This handy guide will teach you how to clean laminate floors effortlessly so you have more time to put your feet up! 1 Microfiber Mop First make sure you have the right mop for the job. The best way to clean laminate floors is with a microfiber mop. Microfiber mops glide across the floor picking up dirt and pet hair effortlessly. The swivel heads make it super fast to cover large areas, they get under tables and chairs easily, plus they require less water which is best because laminate flooring warps easily if exposed to water. # 2 Cleaning Solution You can either buy a manufacturer’s cleaning solution or make one yourself (scroll down to see my recipe for homemade laminate floor cleaner below). Either way you’ll need a spray bottle to squirt the cleaning solution onto the mop pad. Quick Instructions 1.dry mop with your microfiber mop OR use a vacuum on the wood floors setting to suck up big dust bunnies and hair tumbleweeds 2.dampen the microfiber pad with warm water and spray on the cleaning solution of your choice 3.mop the floor 4.when the microfiber pad gets too dirty simply – rinse, replace and continue 5.when you’re finished rinse the microfiber pad and put it in the washing machine on sanitary wash Cleaning laminate floors with string mops or sponge mops will take you longer, leave streaky marks and because they use a lot of water will make it easier for moisture to sink into the cracks. There’s never one perfect way to do anything which is why I’m going to leave it up to you to choose how you get the big dust bunnies and hair tumble weeds off the floor."

Although the old saying is 'a bad workman always blames his tools' you've still gotta have the right tools for the job! Please don't listen to what some of the DIY websites say about how to cut laminate flooring! Because laminate is a man made material containing glues and resins it absolutely ruins the cutting edges of normal saw blades. Blades blunt quickly and you can burn out the motor of a power saw by trying to cut laminate flooring with a incorrect or blunt blade. So, you should never use a circular saw or miter/chop saw to cut laminate flooring unless you have a very expensive, specifically designed carbide tipped laminate cutting blade fitted to your saw. These blades will last long enough to do the job but they are really only worth buying if you are going to be doing laminate flooring installations for a living because they are so expensive! They will also throw up more dust and the dust from laminated floor boards is not good for you to be breathing in at all, containing many poisonous chemicals and resins that your lungs don't need or appreciate.

The grain patterns inside the wood and the stain applied to the surface may help make your home more attractive. If installing a hardwood floor is not an option, you can install a floating laminate floor. This is a type of floor consisting of engineered wooden planks that are covered in a laminate finish with a wood-grain pattern. It's called a floating floor because instead of having the individual planks nailed to the subfloor, they are locked together using a tongue-and-groove system. Installing a floating laminate floor may be an ideal way to cover your old vinyl flooring.1Remove the molding (called quarter-round) along the edge of the baseboard with a pry bar. Take care when removing the quarter-round if you want to reinstall it after the laminate flooring is complete.2Vacuum the surface of the vinyl floor to remove any debris. Wash the vinyl flooring with a mild detergent, and allow it to dry.3Lay a piece of foam underlayment and a panel of laminate flooring against the door jambs inside the room. If necessary, cut the bottom edges of the jambs so you can slide the foam and laminate underneath it. Make the cuts by lying a flush-cut dovetail saw on top of the laminate and sawing the jamb.4Cover the vinyl flooring with foam underlayment."

Before any work begins, it’s important to properly measure your room to determine exactly how much flooring will be required. Your flooring dealer may either provide this service for free or possibly provide you with expert advice on the proper way to calculate your flooring estimate. In general, every room in which a flooring installation will be taking place should be off limits to you and your family until the installation is complete. Regardless of how much time you’ve allowed for the installation, there is always the possibility of unforeseen problems, so make sure you build in an extra few days into your timetable for the project. Below are a few items to expect prior to and during your installation: Typically, if you live in a climate-controlled home, your laminate will be ready to install as soon as you bring it home. However, there are certain times, especially during periods of extreme temperature, when your flooring may need to acclimate. This means it will need to sit somewhere inside your home, usually in an unused room, for several days while it adjusts to the temperature and moisture conditions of your home. Your laminate installation instructions should offer a guideline for when acclimation is needed. And remember, if you need to acclimate you will have a few stacks of flooring to work around before the installation even begins."

Firstly, let’s introduce the Laminate Flooring. It’s easy to install, there will not be any need for nails and adhesives required depending on the type of installation which you will require based on preferences. Laminate Flooring is basically pieces of planks or called floor boards aligned to be perched above sub-flooring which can be protected via film or foam. However, the type of foam and film which you can choose from will be readily available from your preferences such as preventing fluid substances from leaking through to the sub flooring or reducing noise through usage. Next, will be Vinyl Flooring. It is in the same category as Laminate Flooring in terms of easy installation. However, there are 2 types of Vinyl Flooring which are either the Tiles or Roll Type."

Using a Stud Finder, locate and mark the location of each stud. Laminate flooring planks install with a tongue and groove system, so each plank has a tongued side and a grooved side. Place your first laminate flooring plank in the upper right corner of the wall. Place the grooved edge up against the corner of the wall. You may need to drill small holes to accompany finish nails then hammer finishing nails through the laminate flooring plank and into the wall to secure the first piece in place. If there’s a stud located behind that laminate flooring plank, hammer the finishing nails into the area where there’s a stud. If there’s no stud, hammer it anywhere on the plank to keep it in place until you reach an area where a stud’s available. Place the grooved edge on your second plank and place it around the tongue on your first plank. Snap the second floor plank down against the wall to secure it in place."

"text": "\"What's The Best Saw Blade For Cutting Laminate Flooring? This may surprise you, but the best saw blade for laminate flooring is an aluminum cutting blade. Here are the reasons: An aluminum cutting blade is made to take the impact of cutting hard materials and laminate flooring is about as hard as aluminum. Rather than having sharp points on the carbide tips like an ATB wood blade, that will dull quickly, it's a triple chip grind. It will stay sharp and continue cutting well much longer. With a negative rake angle, an aluminum blade doesn't put all the cutting strain on the end of the tips, so they glide through the material more easily. Laminate flooring often has aluminum oxide in it, which would chew up the points and edges of a wood cutting blade in a hurry. Aluminum Cutting Saw Blades by Tenryu Tenryu makes a wide variety of aluminum cutting blades, in numerous sizes, tooth counts and grades. Starting with their basic budget priced Alumi-Cut Series, to their longer-lasting, heavier duty Industrial Series and finally, the top of the line Pro Series for Aluminum. And any of them can be used on a table saw, miter saw, sliding miter or radial arm saw."

"text": "Method1 Eating and Drinking1 Eat before or while you're drinking. Eating while you're drinking can help reduce alcohol breath. Food absorbs some of the alcohol you drink while also stimulating the production of saliva. This can prevent dehydration, which can heighten the presence of alcohol breath. Bars often provide snacks like peanuts, popcorn, and other munchies to make sure patrons don't get sick from over-drinking. Try to periodically snack on these complimentary foods while you're out. If you're drinking at a friend's place, offer to bring a snack for the group. Bring a couple of bags of potato chips or some microwave popcorn. This can benefit you by reducing alcohol breath and also make you look generous in the eyes of the host.2 Try onion and garlic. Foods that are highly aromatic can help override alcohol breath."

"text": "Home > How to Know When to Seek Treatment for Alcoholism > The Smell of Alcohol on the Breath and Pores The Smell of Alcohol on the Breath and Pores The Signs of Overindulgence in Alcohol It is usually easy to tell if somebody has been overdoing it with alcohol. Not only does this drug affect their behavior but there are also plenty of other clues as well. This evidence of overindulgence can last well into the next day and be the source of embarrassment. Drinking alcohol can leave a noticeable smell on the breath. Those who have been drinking heavily can also have a strong odor that is produced by their skin pores. Most people feel uncomfortable if they are carrying around the smell of alcohol on their body. They will use different methods to hide it. In many instances these attempts to disguise the odor will be unsuccessful. The Cause of Alcohol Odor from Breath and Pores When people consume alcohol the body treats it like a toxin and attempts to break it down into acetic acid. It only manages to metabolize about 90% of alcohol this way and the rest gets excreted in different ways."

"text": "\"What Diseases Cause Body Odor? July 18, 2007 – 3:36 PM – 2 Comments By Parade @parademagazine QUESTION: What diseases do body odors reflect? ANSWER: Even your “closest friends” may not tell you that you smell bad, but they may try to avoid being close to you. Unpleasant body odors (bromhidrosis) can be due to poor personal hygiene, but foul breath is often a signal of an underlying health problem. Such breath often originates in the mouth as the result of infected teeth or gums, a coated tongue or dry mouth. These conditions usually can be corrected. Odor also can be a sign that there’s trouble in the respiratory tract (nose, throat, windpipe, lungs). Chronic bronchitis and sinusitis can produce malodorous breath, as can a lung abscess or infection. A less common culprit is the stomach. Foods such as raw onions, curry (or cumin), and garlic cause bad breath, not from the stomach, but from the lungs."

And bad breath? In all, halitosis probably has more than 100 causes: oral bacteria, dental plaque, tartar, gingivitis, periodontal disease, dry mouth, nasal allergies, alcohol, tonsil stones, coffee, garlic, smoking, mouth breathing and much, much more. As you can see, the origins of oral odor are... complicated. In fact, you’d be hard-pressed to find a health condition that has more (or more varied) causes."

It’s because they eat clean foods and avoid those that cause odours. In today’s post, guest blogger, Maureen Denard, shares with us the top foods that make us smell bad. Body odor is an extremely sensitive issue for many of us. We spend hundreds of dollars on perfumes and deodorants so that we can smell better and prevent sweating. But we fail to understand that we’re on the wrong track by “preventing sweating” which is an important function of the body. Sweating is absolutely necessary in order to cool your body and expel toxins from your system, and when you use deodorants to block your pores, you’re inviting ill-health and disease. Instead of focusing on artificial ways to reduce body odor, look to the foods you eat to smell good and stay fresh as a daisy all day long. To help you do this, here’s a list of foods to avoid and why they make you smell bad.

This is because bacteria keep multiplying in the mouth at night and there is no continuous flow of saliva to get wash it away as is the case during waking hours. This is easily sorted out when the teeth are brushed and flossed. Eating specific foods such as onions, garlic and heavily spiced food can also leave one with bad breath. Again, this is easily taken care of with a toothbrush and toothpaste or some gum. If the problem goes beyond this for you and bad breath persists throughout the day, then it is necessary to take measures to get rid of bad breath that go beyond brushing and flossing the teeth. Not sure you have the problem? Not everyone who has bad breath is aware that they have the problem. People's odd reactions when you open your mouth to speak are a clue but there are ways to confirm your suspicions. The scientific way is to use a bad breath meter which measures the quantity of sulfides in your breath."

"text": "\"10 Causes of Bad Breathby Dr Rachel Hall Feb 16, 2014 0 comments Some of the most common causes of bad breath are obvious, like you know it's time to brush when you've had some particularly garlicky food or a good curry and you practically breathe fire first thing in the morning. Many cases of bad breath are caused by untreated tooth decay, gum disease and mouth infections. Bad breath is the product of odour-causing bacteria building-up in your mouth and between your teeth. Makes me want brush and floss my teeth a gargle a good mouthwash just thinking about it... But there are some surprising non-dental causes of bad breath, known to dental professionals as halitosis.1. Medications It's not that your prescription is causing a bad smell, but many medications cause dry mouth as a side effect. Saliva is essential to washing odour-producing particles free, so when there's less of it, odour increases. It's essentially the same reason you get morning breath. Try sipping small amounts of water regularly to keep your mouth moist and ask your dentist, as there are many products that help treat dry mouth.2. Respiratory Tract Infections Bronchitis or even a cold might be the cause of that bad smell. Respiratory tract infections cause bad breath thanks to nasal or sinus secretions passing into the throat and mouth."

"text": "\"Edit Article How to Describe a Smell One Methods: Sample Descriptions of Smells Community Q&AWe have plenty of words to describe other senses and sensations, but smell seems to defy words. The human sense of smell is not heavily used compared to that of many animals. Still, it's a deep and rich sense, and it can enhance how you communicate (especially when you're crafting a story or describing a moment). It can enhance how you experience your other senses (particularly taste, such as tasting complex flavors in wine and dark chocolate ), and even with determining when fruit is ripe or milk is spoiled. If you'd like to pin down a smell in words, here are some tips that can help you. Steps1 Identify your reason for describing the smell. Why do you want to communicate it? Your description may be different depending on whether you are writing a technical manual or writing a poem. If you're describing the smell aloud, your tone of voice and body language may lend an additional level of meaning. Do you want to capture the nature of the smell or the overall quality?"

One of five hepatitis viruses, HBV causes acute and chronic hepatitis in humans. Despite the current availability of an effective vaccine, almost 1.2 million people worldwide still die each year from HBV related diseases ( CDC ). An acute HBV infection usually causes only mild symptoms and the majority of infected adults successfully clear the virus and acquire life-long immunity. In acute hepatitis, it takes about 1 to 6 months from the time of infection for the disease to manifest itself. Early symptoms include nausea and vomiting, loss of appetite, fatigue, and muscle and joint aches. Jaundice, together with dark urine and light stools, follows. Only about 1 percent of patients infected with hepatitis B die due to liver damage in this early stage ( Poynard, 2002 ). The risk of becoming chronically infected depends on the age at the time of infection."

A virus is a submicroscopic infectious particle composed of a protein coat and a nucleic acid core, as shown in Figures 1 and 2. Viruses are similar in size to a large protein macromolecule, generally smaller than 200 nm in diameter. Viruses, like cells, carry genetic information encoded in their nucleic acid, and can undergo mutations and reproduce; however, they cannot carry out metabolism , and thus are not considered alive. Viruses are classified by the type of nucleic acid they contain, and the shape of their protein capsule. Examples of several viruses are shown in Figures 1-3."

"text": "\"Management of the HBs Ag Positive Patient By Coleman I. Smith, M. D. This article is reprinted with permission of the Hepatitis B Coalition. Introduction The hepatitis B virus (HBV) is a DNA virus and a member of the hepadna family of viruses, and is a very common virus with an estimated 300 million carriers worldwide. Only 1 - 1.5 million of these are in the United States. Hepatitis B is much more prevalent in other areas of the world such as parts of Asia including Southeast Asia, sub-Saharan Africa, and some of the Mediterranean countries. It is in these areas that hepatitis B-induced liver cell cancer is such a common problem. In those populations where hepatitis B is endemic, the virus is usually transmitted from the infected mother to her child during the birth process or sometimes between children, especially in areas where overcrowding is common. This is in contrast to the situation in Western countries where infection is most often spread by the parenteral route, e.g., from needle stick, or by sexual contact. Thus in these areas, infection usually occurs in young adults. Because failure to clear the virus and development of chronicity is much more common in those infected at a very young age, chronic hepatitis B is much less common in Western countries than in areas where hepatitis B is endemic. Serologic Data The hepatitis B virus is a complex virus with a central core and a protein coat."

[ 4]It has also been suggested that it may increase the risk of pancreatic cancer. [ 3]Roles in disease [ edit]Viral infection by hepatitis B virus (HBV) causes many hepatocyte changes due to direct action of a protein coded for by the virus, HBx, and to indirect changes due to a large increase in intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) after infection. HBx appears to dysregulate a number of cellular pathways. HBx causes dysregulation in part by binding to genomic DNA, changing expression patterns of mi RNAs, affecting histone methyltransferases, binding to SIRT1 protein to activate transcription, and cooperating with histone methylases and demethylases to change cell expression patterns. [ 5] HBx is partly responsible for the approximate 10,000-fold increase in intracellular ROS upon chronic HBV infection. [ 6] Increased ROS can be caused, in part, by localization of HBx to the mitochondria where HBx decreases the mitochondrial membrane potential. [ 7] In addition, another HBV protein, HBs Ag, also increases ROS through interactions with the endoplasmic reticulum. [ 7]The increase in reactive oxygen species (ROS) after HBV infection causes inflammation, which leads to a further increase in ROS. ["

Significance: A method is presented that measures the direct and indirect contributions to the glycerol backbone by 13 C NMR. Next Section Abstract During hepatic lipogenesis, the glycerol backbone of acylglycerols originates from one of three sources: glucose, glycerol, or substrates passing through the citric acid cycle via glyceroneogenesis. The relative contribution of each substrate source to glycerol in rat liver acylglycerols was determined using 13 C-enriched substrates and NMR."

This process is frequently referred to as endogenous glucose production (EGP). The production of glucose from other carbon skeletons is necessary since the testes, erythrocytes and kidney medulla exclusively utilize glucose for ATP production. The brain also utilizes large amounts of the daily glucose consumed or produced via gluconeogenesis. However, in addition to glucose, the brain can derive energy from ketone bodies which are converted to acetyl-Co A and shunted into the TCA cycle. The primary carbon skeletons used for gluconeogenesis are derived from pyruvate, lactate, glycerol, and the amino acids alanine and glutamine. The liver is the major site of gluconeogenesis, however, as discussed below, the kidney and the small intestine also have important roles to play in this pathway. Synthesis of glucose from three and four carbon precursors is essentially a reversal of glycolysis. The relevant features of the pathway of gluconeogenesis are diagrammed below: Reactions of Gluconeogenesis: Gluconeogenesis from two moles of pyruvate to two moles of 1,3-bisphosphoglycerate consumes six moles of ATP. This makes the process of gluconeogenesis very costly from an energy standpoint considering that glucose oxidation to two moles of pyruvate yields two moles of ATP."

Reference Range Adults: 10-80 mcg/d L (6-47 µmol/L)Neonates, 0 to 10 days (enzymatic): 170-341 mcg/d L (100-200 µmol/L)* (PDR). 90-150 mcg/d LInfants and toddlers, 10 days to 2 year (enzymatic): 68-136 mcg/d L (40-8- micromole/L)Children, older than 2 years (enzymatic): 19-60 mcg/d L (11-35 µmol/L)Indications & Uses Suspected hepatic encephalopathy in liver cirrhosis - elevated levels correlate with the severity of hepatic encephalopathy. No significant difference between the correlation of venous ammonia with hepatic encephalopathy and the correlation of arterial ammonia with hepatic encephalopathy. Suspected inborn error of metabolism associated with hyperammonemia in children (ammonia levels and associated signs):50 to 100 µmol/L: usually asymptomatic100 to 200 µmol/L: anorexia, vomiting, ataxia, irritability, hyperactivity Above 200 µmol/L: Stage II coma, combative state followed by stupor Above 300 µmol/L: Stage III coma, responsive only to painful stimuli Above 500 µmol/L: Elevated intracranial pressure, stage IV coma, decerebrate posturing Above 1000 µmol/L: About 50% survive Ammonia levels seen in inborn errors of metabolism: Urea cycle defects: 500 to 2000 µmol/LOrganic acidemia: 100 to 1000 µmol/LTransport defects of urea cycle intermediat4es: 100 to 300 µmol/LFatty acid oxidation defects: Normal to 300 µmol/LPyruvate metabolism disorders: Normal to 600 µmol/LAlmost all patients with ammonia levels over 500 µmol/L likely have an inborn error of metabolism. Valproic acid use while also presenting with change in mental status. Suspected Reye's syndrome - due to fatty infiltration of the liver ammonia metabolism can be impaired and levels are elevated at least 150% in 90% of patients, typically in the range of 100 to 350 µmol/L. According to some sources, ammonia levels usually peak during the 2 to 3 days following the onset of vomiting and then decline rapidly. Levels may be normal if taken too early or too late in the course of illness. Peak ammonia levels usually occur within 4 hours of admission. Patients with levels greater than 3 times normal usually require fluid restriction, controlled hyperventilation, and mannitol, while those with levels greater than 5 times normal should be placed in a barbiturate coma."

Chromosome movements during mitosis are governed by the interaction of spindle microtubules with a specialized chromosome domain located within the centromere. This specialized region, called the kinetochore, is the site for spindle microtubule-centromere association. In addition to serving as a physical link between chromosomes and spindle microtubules, the kinetochore exhibits an active role in chromosomal segregation through microtubule motors and spindle assembly checkpoint (SAC) sensors located at or near it [e.g., 1 ]. Several lines of evidence have implicated the kinetochore in generation of a diffusible SAC signal that can block cell cycle progression into anaphase until all kinetochores have successfully attached to spindle microtubules. Aberrant attachment of one or more chromosomes to the spindle is correlated with a corresponding delay in the onset of anaphase. Genetic screen in budding yeast for mutants that fail to arrest the cell cycle in mitosis after disassembly of microtubules, has identified three MAD (mitotic arrest deficiency) and three BUB (budding uninhibited by benomyl) genes 2, 3. Vertebrate homologues of MAD1, MAD2, BUB3, BUB1, and BUBR1 are spindle checkpoint components transiently associated with the kinetochore [e.g., 4]Mitosis is orchestrated by signaling cascades that coordinate mitotic processes and ensure accurate chromosome segregation. The key switch for the onset of mitosis is the archetypal cyclin-dependent kinase Cdk1. Besides the master mitotic kinase Cdk1, three other protein serine/threonine kinase families are also involved, including the Polo kinases, Aurora kinases, and the NEK (NIMA-related kinases) [e.g., 5 ]."

"text": "Cell Cycle Control This item was written in association with Dr Margarete Heck and her research group, The Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology, Institute of Cell Biology, University of Edinburgh, UK. KEY CONCEPTS: A summary of ‘Cell cycle control’. CONCEPTS IN CONTEXT: The division of a cell to produce two daughter cells is fundamental to most forms of life. The ‘life cycle’ of a dividing eukaryotic non-embryonic cell starts with the cell triggered to enter the cell cycle and ends with the equal partitioning of the genetic material and cleavage of the cell during cytokinesis. The whole process is called the cell cycle and consists of four main phases. Entry to the cycle is made in Gap 1 (G1) phase and this is followed in sequence by a DNA synthesis (S) phase, Gap 2 (G2) phase, and Mitosis (M). After mitosis (M) some cells enter the G1 phase of a new cell cycle whilst others may diverge at the start of G1 into a phase called Gap O (zero). Phases G1, S and G2 are often grouped and called ‘interphase’. Cells in G-0 (zero) are quiescent and not dividing (hence zero), this may be permanent or temporary. Mitosis (M phase) had been observed and described in some detail by the start of the 20th century, but it was not until about 50 years later that it was discovered that DNA synthesis took place as a separate process ahead of mitosis."

Nivedita Govind M. Pai Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.biochi.2012.10.001 Get rights and content Abstract Somatic cell cycle is a dynamic process with sequential events that culminate in cell division. Several physiological activities occur in the cytoplasm and nucleus during each of the cell cycle phases which help in doubling of genetic content, organized arrangement of the duplicated genetic material and perfect mechanism for its equal distribution to the two daughter cells formed. Also, the cell cycle checkpoints ensure that the genetic material is devoid of damages thus ensuring unaltered transmission of genetic information. Two important phenomena occurring during the cell cycle are the DNA condensation and decondensation cycles in the nucleus along with the cyclic expression and functioning of certain specific proteins that help in the same. Several protein families including Cyclins, cyclin dependent kinases, condensins, cohesins and surivins ensure error free, stage specific DNA condensation and decondensation by their highly specific, controlled orchestrated presence and action. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of chromatin compaction towards formation of the structural units, the chromosomes, give us valuable insights into the cellular physiology and also direct us to techniques such as premature chromosome condensation. The techniques of inducing ‘prophasing’ of interphase cells are undergoing rapid advances which have multidimensional applications for basic research and direct applications. Highlights► The chromatin decondensation and condensation mechanisms are reviewed. ► The factors responsible for the DNA condensation are reviewed. ► The complex mechanisms involved in the chromatin morphology are presented."

Some single-celled organisms reproduce asexually through a type of cell division called binary fission. The cell cycle is the life cycle of a cell, as it grows, replicates its chromosomes, separates its chromosomes and divides. The cell cycle is divided into two distinct parts: interphase and the mitotic phase or the M-phase. Interphase is the longest part of the cell cycle. The first part of Interphase involves cell growth and is called the Gap 1 Phase or the G 1 -Phase. The G1-Phase is followed by the Synthesis Phase, or S-Phase. During this part of Interphase, the chromosomes located in the nucleus are copied or replicated as the cell prepares to divide."

Observable under the microscope, M phase consists of two events, mitosis (division of the nucleus) and cytokinesis (division of the cytoplasm). As replication of the DNA occurs during S-phase, when condensation of the chromatin occurs two copies of each chromosome remain attached at the centromere to form sister chromatids. After the nuclear envelope fragments, the microtubules of the mitotic spindle separate the sister chromatids and move them to opposite ends of the cell. Cytokinesis and reformation of the nuclear membranes occur to complete the cell division. Most of the time, cells are in interphase, where growth occurs and cellular components are made. DNA is manufactured during S phase. To prepare the cell for Sphase (DNA synthesis), G1 phase occurs (the preparation of DNA synthesis machinery, production of histones). In an analogous manner, the cell prepares for mitosis in the G2 phase by producing the machinery required for cell division. The length of time spent in G1 is variable."

Type V intermediate filaments differ from cytoplasmic intermediate filaments in the way that they have an extended rod domain (42 amino acid longer), that they all carry a nuclear localization signal (NLS) at their C-terminus and that they display typical tertiary structures. Lamin polypeptides have an almost complete α-helical conformation with multiple α-helical domains separated by non-α-helical linkers that are highly conserved in length and amino acid sequence."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Not to be confused with Anaphase I or Anaphase II. A cell during anaphase. Anaphase (from the Greek ἀνά, \"\"up\"\" and φάσις, \"\"stage\"\"), is the stage of mitosis after the metaphase when replicated chromosomes are split and the daughter chromatids are moved to opposite poles of the cell. Chromosomes also reach their overall maximum condensation in late anaphase, to help chromosome segregation and the re-formation of the nucleus. [ 1]Anaphase starts when the anaphase promoting complex marks an inhibitory chaperone called securin with ubiquitin for destruction. Securin is a protein which inhibits a protease known as separase. The destruction of securin unleashes separase which then breaks down cohesin, a protein responsible for holding sister chromatids together. [ 2] The centromeres are split, and the new daughter chromosomes are pulled toward the poles. They take on a V-shape or Y-shape as they are pulled back. While the chromosomes are drawn to each side of the cell, the non- kinetochore spindle fibers push against each other, in a ratcheting action, that stretches the cell into an oval. ["

Binary fission: This is the simplest type of cell division mechanistically. It is characteristic of all prokaryotes and some protists. It is a form of asexual reproduction.a. Prokaryotes generally have just one circular chromosome, called a genophore.b. As DNA replicates, each of the two resulting DNA molecules attaches to the plasma membrane. As the bacterium grows, new plasma membrane is added between the attachment points, causing the DNA molecules to move apart.c."

Among these requirements are appropriate cell size and cellular environment. Following DNA replication in S phase, cells contain twice their normal number of chromosomes. Because cells that undergo mitosis are diploid, their number of chromosomes can be represented as 2 N, where N equals the number of distinct chromosomes in the cell. Cells about to enter M phase, which have passed through S phase and replicated their DNA, have 4 N chromosomes. Entry into M phase is allowed by the formation of the mitotic cyclin-Cdk complex known as M phase-promoting factor that occurs as a cell cycle regulatory mechanism in the G2 phase . The first phase of mitosis within M phase is called prophase. It follows G2, the final phase of interphase. A cell entering M phase manifests a number of physicsl signs.

Cyclone tracks in Australia: 1907-2005In an average season, tropical cyclones are mostly experienced in northwest Australia between Exmouth and Broome in Western Australia and in northeast Queensland between Port Douglas and Maryborough. In the Australian region, the official tropical cyclone season runs from 1 November to 30 April with most occurring between December and April. On average, about 10 cyclones develop over Australian waters each year and around six of these cross the coast. There is some correlation between cyclone frequency and the El-Nino Southern Oscillation status, with activity subdued in El-Nino events and enhanced during La-Nina events, especially in the Coral Sea. Interesting fact: The greatest number of tropical cyclones in the Australian region in any one year was 20 in 1983. Since 1950, the lowest number of tropical cyclones in any season was just five in 1987.

[ 2] The main forms of precipitation include drizzle, rain, sleet, snow, graupel and hail. Precipitation occurs when a portion of the atmosphere becomes saturated with water vapor, so that the water condenses and \"\"precipitates\"\". Thus, fog and mist are not precipitation but suspensions, because the water vapor does not condense sufficiently to precipitate. Two processes, possibly acting together, can lead to air becoming saturated: cooling the air or adding water vapor to the air. Precipitation forms as smaller droplets coalesce via collision with other rain drops or ice crystals within a cloud. Short, intense periods of rain in scattered locations are called \"\"showers.\"\" [ 3]Moisture that is lifted or otherwise forced to rise over a layer of sub-freezing air at the surface may be condensed into clouds and rain. This process is typically active when freezing rain occurs."

Most casualties during tropical cyclones occur as the result of storm surges. It is a measure of the rise of water beyond what would be expected by the normal movement related to tides.

"text": "Where do Hurricanes Occur? The destructive power of hurricanes has earned them a reputation of much-feared natural disasters that occur all over the world. Contrary to the belief that they are only restricted to the Atlantic Ocean, these natural disasters do occur in all the tropical oceans on the planet. Hurricanes occur in the Intertropical Convergence Zone (ITCZ) near the Equator where the northeasterly trade winds meet the southeasterly trade winds. The formation of hurricanes is a complex process which is triggered by numerous factors coming into play. The prerequisites of this process include warm water, moist air, low pressure area, wind disturbance, and a considerable depth; all of which are readily associated with the Intertropical Convergence Zone. While similar conditions do exist near the Equator, the absence of the Coriolis force or Coriolis effect hampers the formation of hurricanes in this area. Interestingly, it's the Coriolis force because of which hurricanes rotate clockwise in the Northern Hemisphere and counterclockwise in the Southern Hemisphere. Other than a well-defined circulation, a hurricane is typically characterized by sustained winds of 74 miles per hour, which can go well beyond 150 miles per hour at times.

It incorporates the effects of atmospheric processes at higher levels. Forecast (prognostic) maps are also available. These indicate how the weather patterns are expected to develop. Meteorologists use a wide range of information and techniques to formulate weather forecasts. The MSLP analysis does not and cannot show all of these factors.

Unlike “black swan” events, which are entirely unexpected, grey swans may be anticipated by combining physical knowledge with historical data. “ Grey swan” tropical cyclones can whip up catastrophic surges bigger than what can be predicted through weather data alone, but which can be forecast if data is supplemented by global simulations. Researchers simulated the risk of such cyclones, and their storm surges, for three coastal regions, and found that they could strike regions such as Dubai, where no tropical storm has ever been recorded. In Tampa, Florida, and Cairns, Australia, the already frequent storms were likely to rise to unprecedented magnitudes in the next century.

The world has so far not seen a black swan or grey swan cyclone because every storm that has ever occurred could, in retrospect, have been predicted, given the previous pattern of storm activity. However, as climate change alters the Earth’s atmosphere and its oceans in the coming decades, the track and magnitude of storms may deviate from historical patterns.

Weather and Climate Weather is the condition of the atmosphere at a particular time and place. It refers to such conditions of the local atmosphere as temperature, atmospheric pressure, humidity (the amount of water contained in the atmosphere), precipitation (rain, snow, sleet, & hail), and wind velocity. Because the amount of heat in the atmosphere varies with location above the Earth's surface, and because differing amounts of heat in different parts of the atmosphere control atmospheric circulation, the atmosphere is in constant motion.

Wind gusts stronger than 260 km per hour (160 mph) were recorded at tourist resorts along the world-famous Great Barrier Reef as the powerful storm made landfall as a category four, one rung below the most dangerous wind speed level. It was later downgraded to a category three storm. Forecasters said high winds could persist for as long as 10 hours, although it would then weaken rapidly and was expected to be downgraded to category one before dawn on Wednesday.

Formally, a wider study includes water falling as ice crystals, i.e. hail, sleet, snow (parts of the hydrological cycle known as precipitation ). The aim of rainfall climatology is to measure, understand and predict rain distribution across different regions of planet Earth, a factor of air pressure, humidity, topography, cloud type and raindrop size, via direct measurement and remote sensing data acquisition. Current technologies accurately predict rainfall 3–4 days in advance using numerical weather prediction. Geostationary orbiting satellites gather IR and visual wavelength data to measure realtime localised rainfall by estimating cloud albedo, water content, and the corresponding probability of rain. Geographic distribution of rain is largely governed by climate type, topography and habitat humidity. In mountainous areas, heavy precipitation is possible where upslope flow is maximized within windward sides of the terrain at elevation. On the leeward side of mountains, desert climates can exist due to the dry air caused by compressional heating. The movement of the monsoon trough, or intertropical convergence zone, brings rainy seasons to savannah climes. The urban heat island effect leads to increased rainfall, both in amounts and intensity, downwind of cities."

Nelson Tropical Cyclones (Hurricanes)Fall 2014This document last updated on 19-Aug-2014Before discussing the science of tropical cyclones (hurricanes as they are called when in the Atlantic or eastern Pacific oceans), we need to first understand something about atmospheric circulation in the lower part of the atmosphere (troposphere). Atmospheric Circulation The troposphere undergoes circulation because of convection. Convection is a mode of heat transfer wherin the heat moves with the material. Warm air, becuase it is less dense than cooler air, rises and cold air sinks back toward the surface. Convection in the atmosphere is mainly the result of the fact that more of the Sun's heat energy is received by parts of the Earth near the Equator than at the poles. Thus air at the equator is heated reducing its the density. Lower density causes the air to rise. At the top of the troposphere this air spreads toward the poles. If the Earth were not rotating, this would result in a convection cell, with warm moist air rising at the equator, spreading toward the poles along the top of the troposphere, cooling as it moves poleward, then descending at the poles, as shown in the diagram above."

"text": "What causes Cyclones? How a cyclone occurs Reproduced with permission from Bo MThe main source of energy for tropical cyclones is the warm oceans in the tropical regions. To initiate a tropical cyclone the sea-surface temperature generally needs to be above 26.5°C. However, existing cyclones often persist as they move over cooler waters. The development of a tropical cyclone also relies on favourable broad-scale wind regimes and can persist for several days with many following quite erratic paths. They lose their source of energy when they move over land or colder oceans causing them to dissipate. Weakening may also occur if the cyclone moves into an unfavourable wind regime which disrupts the structure of the system. Sometimes a decaying tropical cyclone may interact with a weather system in higher latitudes to cause impacts far from the tropics.

Most casualties during tropical cyclones occur as the result of storm surges. It is a measure of the rise of water beyond what would be expected by the normal movement related to tides.

A hurricane is a type of tropical cyclone with sustained winds that exceed 74 mph and accompanied by rain, thunder and lightning. Geographical Location Cyclones begin in tropical regions such as Pacific islands, Northern Australia and other areas. Hurricanes are found near the tropical zone, over warm waters in the Atlantic and Pacific ocean. Hurricane Isaac as seen from a NASA satellite on August 28, 2012. Differences in Characteristics Cyclones have a low pressure center which is called the \"\"eye\"\", and the wind circling around is counter clockwise on the northern hemisphere and clockwise in the southern hemisphere. The speed of cyclones varies from 32 to 200 kmph. Cyclones mainly occur in a particular season and mainly affect the coastal areas. Cyclones can be of six main types: polar, polar low, extratropical, subtropical, tropical and mesocyclones. Hurricanes develop over ocean water warmer than 26.5 Celsius and heat and moisture from the ocean forms the basis of this type of storm."

The system was first identified over the Solomon Islands as a tropical low on 1 April 2014, and gradually moved westward, eventually reaching cyclone intensity on 5 April. On 10 April, Ita intensified rapidly into a powerful Category 5 system on the Australian Scale, but it weakened to a Category 4 system in the hours immediately preceding landfall the following day. At the time of landfall at Cape Flattery at 12 April 22:00 ( UTC+10 ), the cyclone's Dvorak intensity was approximately T5.0, consistent with a weak Category 4 system, and considerably lower than the T6.5 observed when the system was at its peak intensity. Meteorologists noted the system had, at that time, begun an eyewall replacement cycle; as a result, the system was considerably less powerful than various intensity scales hadpredicted. Ita's impact on terrain was lessened, as a result. Owing to the rapid degradation of the cyclone before landfall, structural damage was relatively low at A$8.4 million (US$7.9 million). However, the agricultural industry suffered extensive impacts and total losses reached A$1.1 billion (US$1 billion).

"text": "What’s the difference between Swarovski Crystal, Diamonds and Cubic Zirconia? Posted by: Khaled March 25, 2012 in General, Jewellery 14 Comments‘Diamonds are a girl’s best friend,’ a phrase and song made famous by the 1949 movie Gentlemen Prefer Blondes in which Marilyn Monroe first performed the song. Today the saying is very much true, but traditionally gold bands were used for the symbol of a wedding union until 1938 when De Beers launched their advertising campaign “A Diamond is Forever”. The ad campaign is regarded as one of the most successful in history and changed the general public’s perception of diamonds. No longer were diamonds seen as a gem reserved only for Royalty and the highest of society, they came to represent love, affection and faithfulness. Nowadays Diamond engagement rings are not only glamorous they have a very special meaning attached to them, they symbolise commitment and the next chapter in a couple’s life, which combined with their beauty is why they are so desirable. For years the price of diamonds were kept artificially high by carefully controlling the quantity of diamonds that were allowed to reach the market place by one company who had a monopoly over their distribution. Today this is no longer the case as diamonds are available from various channels around the world where their price is governed by globalized market economies. There is still a growing demand for diamonds and with their diminishing supply and extremely high costs other less expensive substitutes are used in their place. Unlike other gemstones diamonds are formed in the earths mantle a semi-molten layer between the earths outer core and crust that’s subject to extreme heat and pressure."

"text": "\"Cubic Zirconia Cubic zirconia (CZ), a diamond simulant, is not only the oldest diamond substitute, but also the most popular. Composed of zirconium oxide (Zr O 2) the mineral is extremely rare in natural form. Discovered by German mineralogists in 1937, zirconium wasn’t considered economically feasible. That changed in the 1970s, when a Soviet scientist learned how to grow zirconium in a laboratory. First marketed in 1977 under the trade name \"\"Djevalite\"\", cubic zirconia didn’t become widely popular until Swarovski & Co., the world-renowned producer of leaded crystal, began mass producing it the 1980s. Today, CZ is considered by gemologists to be the best available diamond substitute. The similarities of cubic zirconia to a diamond are so remarkable that even gemologists can’t always tell the difference when viewed with the naked eye. Cubic zirconia possesses less brilliance (less sparkle), but has more fire (flashes of rainbow color.) CZ is also very hard, not quite as hard as a diamond, but like a diamond can scratch glass. Though measured in carats like diamonds, a more accurate measurement of cubic zirconia would be in millimeters."

Rodway Laurence Mason Behind Enemy Lines is a 2001 action film that stars Owen Wilson as a US Navy radar intercept officer who must evade enemy forces after his F/A-18 Hornet is shot down over Bosnia. Gene Hackman co-stars as the US Navy Admiral who leads the rescue mission to retrieve his downed officer (an interesting bit of trivia: Hackman once portrayed a downed pilot behind enemy lines in the Vietnam War film BAT*21 ). The film would help launch a series of similarly themed DTV films: Behind Enemy Lines II: Axis of Evil, Behind Enemy Lines: Colombia and Seal Team 8: Behind Enemy Lines .

After ejecting over Bosnia after their F/A-18F Super Hornet is shot down, Stackhouse is discovered by the Serbs and a Serb sniper named Sasha ( Vladimir Mashkov) is seen taking his Beretta when he is questioned. Sasha later tries to use the Beretta to shoot at Burnett when he is discovered. Burnett later uses his own Beretta 92SB to shoot at Sasha near the end of the film. This model of the Beretta won the Air Force trials, but Burnett and Stackhouse, being Navy pilots, would rather have been issued the SIG-Sauer M11 (the US military designation for the SIG-Sauer P228 )."

With a sporter-weight barrel and American-style stock, this combo is intended for use with a scope. The CZ 455’s interchangeable barrel system means that going from .22 LR to .17 HMR or .22 WMR is a cinch. Just remove the two action screws to remove the stock and loosen two set screws that retain the barrel. No need to worry about headspace, as the barrels are pre-fit and drop-in. Tight tolerances and new manufacturing technology means the 455 is smoother to operate and one of the most accurate rimfires we’ve ever made.455 models feature an integral 11mm dovetail for mounting scopes. The 455 American ships with a 5-round magazine."

For example, consider a well cut and made clear Cubic Zirconia (CZ) that is 6.5 mm in diameter, which is a very close approximation of a one carat Diamond, to the cost of that diamond. If both are flawless, and CZ always is, and they are the same colour, CZ is usually a \"\"G\"\", then the following is fairly accurate."

"text": "Buildings on Fire: Collapse Zones: Building Characteristics & Occupancy Risks Chris Naum explains how crews can predict building performance and common risks during firefighting operations. Christopher J. Naum Christopher J. Naum May 31, 20150Tweet Share A collapse zone is defined as the area around the perimeter of a structure that could contain debris if the building collapsed. This area is often defined by establishing a perimeter at a distance from the building that is equal to 1.5 times the height of the structure. Photo Courtesy Chris Naum In April, we addressed establishing collapse zones at building fires. The loss of situational awareness, coupled with failing to recognize subtle or obvious pre-collapse building indicators and gaps in building/construction system knowledge, increases operational risks to personnel on the fireground. Applying your knowledge of building performance and structuring tactical deployment based on the occupancy risk profile is fundamental to operational excellence and organizational effectiveness. To conclude our discussion of collapse zones, this month we expand on building construction hazards and recommendations for keeping fire personnel safe on the scene. Building construction and characteristics The potential for structural collapse in a building on fire can be predicted by a building’s susceptibility to a variety of factors, including fire dynamics and behavior, fire exposure and extension, environmental impact, fire suppression activities, and building age, deterioration and occupancy use factors. A building’s performance and risk to structural collapse, compromise or failure must be foremost in the minds of incident commanders (ICs), supervisors and operating companies working to develop and execute the incident management plan. Recognizing and defining collapse precursors and risk through exclusion and control zones is fundamental to collapse zone management principles."

"text": "By Mike Pannone May 1, 2015I train and compete with CZ pistols of all types, from my Tactical Sports in .40S&W and Shadow 9mm for USPSA, to my P09, P07 and CZ75 PCR in pistol classes that I teach for my company CTT-Solutions LLC. I have had extraordinary performance out of all of my CZ guns, but realized I had not tried nor put the 2075 RAMI through its paces, and decided to change that. There are very few CZ pistols that I do not own, and the time came overdue to invest in a RAMI. I bought the CZ 2075 BD model (decocker version) in 9mm at the CZ Custom Shop (CZC) up in Mesa AZ. The gun came with factory-installed night sights, and I left it there to have CZC do a carry trigger job for me (and refinish the frame, so it matched the 2 other de-cocker CZ’s I frequently use: CZ 75BD Police and CZ Pro-Tek 1 Black –a custom CZ 75C PCR built by CZ Custom). They do nearly all of the gunsmith work on my competition, training and carry guns, and are easily worth every penny paid, and any wait time. The CZ 2075 RAMI comes in 40S&W, as well, but I felt the combination of the 2 extra round capacity, the relative effectiveness of modern expanding ammunition, and the enhanced shootability made more sense to opt for a 9mm variant like the BD model. The pistol is based on the CZ 75 design but was the brainchild of designers Ra dek Hauerland and Mi lan Trkulja, and first made available in 2007. The name comes from the first 2 letters of each designer’s name. The pistol itself was actually a spin-off of the CZ/Colt Z40 project, combined with lessons learned in police compact pistol CZ 75 D COMPACT (P-01), but that is a different topic altogether."

"text": "\"Posted 21 December 2008 - 12:14 AMTACTICS 101: ANTI-SUBMARINE WARFARE (ASW): PART 1 - THE FUNDAMENTALS In Part 1 of this discussion, we'll address the fundamentals of naval oceanography, i.e. the nature of the subsurface environment and how it impacts on anti-submarine warfare (ASW). A. FEAR GOD, DREADNOUGHT, AND THE SUBMARINE! The watchword of subsurface warfare, and by extension, anti-submarine warfare (ASW), is stealth. Submarines are absolutely dependent on stealth for both mission effectiveness and self-defense. The introduction of submarines brought about a new and revolutionary dimension in naval warfare, one that was measurable in fathoms. Compared to the heavily armored ironclads, dreadnoughts, battleships, and battlecruisers that ruled the surface, directly confronting each other in hails of gunfire, a submerged submarine instantly became invisible, allowing it closely approach the most powerful surface ship. It could then deliver a torpedo, a weapon which could avoid the armor and strike below the waterline, where a ship was most vulnerable, thus allowing the smallest submarine to sink the largest ship. This unique combination of stealth and offensive punch has therefore been the defining characteristic of the submarine from the very beginning. British Admiral Sir John Fisher, the father of the the first big gun battleship, HMS Dreadnought, had the prescience to know that the submarine would seriously constrain surface ship operations, so much so that during WWI, the Grand Fleet did not operate in the southern part of the North Sea because of the threat posed by U-boats. Fisher had hoped to develop a “blue water” force projection capability that would combine the surface strike firepower of the battlecruiser with the submarine, making both the open ocean and the narrows untenable for the enemy."

"text": "DABOs The term DABO, which realtors will bandy about effortlessly, means Deposit Accepted By Owner. What is really means is that there is not only an accepted offer but that contracts have been written and the parties have gotten through attorney review. Attorney review in New Jersey last a minimum of three FULL business days and usually the attorneys extend it, typically it lasts 5-6 days. Once the contract is completed and agreed upon by both the seller and buyer and their attorneys, a second deposit will be required and will be held by the seller's attorney. The initial $1000 good faith deposit given at the time of the offer is usually held in the realtor's escrow account and later that money is sent to the seller's attorney. Most second deposits are expected to be sent by the buyer within ten days of the end of attorney review. So technically, when a property comes up DABO on our Multiple Listing Service, the second deposit has not been given in most cases. From a practical standpoint, DABO on the MLS means the contract is solid and the property is out of attorney review. The serious lack of DABOs on the MLS right now is the greatest indication of how soft the current market is. Though a DABO listing does not give the informaton on what the agreed price was (it is confidential until the closing), a good realtor can generally guess based on number of days on the market about what price the property went for."

"text": "What Does “As-Is” Mean in Real Estate Transactions? Filed under: Real Estate Law Whether you’re searching for a home for your family or shopping for an investment property, you’re likely to come across some advertisements describing real estate for sale in “as is” condition. Buyers often interpret this phrase in a casual way, assuming “as is” means the property needs cosmetic or structural improvements. Often this is a correct assumption, since “as is” real estate is usually distressed properties, foreclosed homes, or structures upon which construction was never completed. Even though that assumption is generally correct, the phrase “as is” is not just a nice way of saying “you’ll need to do some work on this one.” It’s actually a legal term in the real estate world, and it carries a very specific meaning. In fact, the state of California carefully clarifies the responsibilities of a real estate agent when using the term “as is” to describe a property: As quoted by a California appeals court in the case of Easton v. Strassburger (1984) 152 Cal. App. 3d 90, “The primary purposes of the Cooper-Lingsch rule are to protect the buyer from the unethical broker and seller and to insure that the buyer is provided sufficient accurate information to make an informed decision whether to purchase. These purposes would be seriously undermined if the rule were not seen to include a duty to disclose reasonably discoverable defects."

"text": "We get asked what the average real estate agent salary is a lot, so let's talk a bit about how much real estate agents get paid. According to Payscale.com your average real estate agent in the US makes between $23,000 and $110,000 a year, and the highest performing agent in Massachusetts sold over $86 million in real estate last year according to MLS. It's probably safe to say that she was paid a lot more than $110,000 in commissions. So that's a pretty wide range of possible incomes!Why is there so much variation in how much real estate agents make? The first big factor is that your average real estate agent is paid as a 1099 independent contractor, which means that they're only paid when they make a sale. When an agent makes a sale, they're paid a commission on the property's sale price (usually somewhere between 4-6% of the sales price). What makes someone an independent contractor? From Wikipedia: An independent contractor is a natural person, business, or corporation that provides goods or services to another entity under terms specified in a contract or within a verbal agreement. Unlike an employee, an independent contractor does not work regularly for an employer but works as and when required, during which time he or she may be subject to law of agency. Independent contractors are usually paid on a freelance basis. ("

Swinney compared Williams to a combination of former Clemson receivers Sammy Watkins, De Andre Hopkins, Jaron Brown and Adam Humphries."

Between 1880 and 1915, dark, neutral hues such as gray, brown or blue, often dominated compositions by artists associated with the style. During the late 1890s, American art critics began to use the term \"\"tonal\"\" to describe these works. Two of the leading associated painters were George Inness and James Mc Neill Whistler. Australian Tonalism emerged as an art movement in Melbourne during the 1910s. Tonalism is sometimes used to describe American landscapes derived from the French Barbizon style, [1] which emphasized mood and shadow.

AVMs are designed to augment or replace traditional appraisal reports completed by professional appraisers. While some AVMs are used by popular websites, others are generated by internal systems used by valuation firms and financial institutions. While AVMs can be useful tools to get a sense of the value of your real estate, they're also controversial. AVM Basics AVMs use market data to estimate the value of a piece of real estate. While AVM models vary in terms of both what factors they use and how they weigh them, you can usually expect an AVM to factor in a property's tax-assessed value and comparable sales in the area. AVMs use public data about the property to, for instance, calculate a value per square foot. Some AVMs also look at market trends to predict the direction of the market. Assumptions and Gaps Unlike a professional appraiser, an AVM can't see the property. Instead, it assumes that the property is roughly similar to other homes in the neighborhood."

Between 70% and 80% of homeowners use a real estate agent or broker when buying or selling a home, so choosing the right agent is instrumental to successful real estate transactions. Here is a guide to help you find a good real estate broker and a breakdown on how broker fees work. Broker Fees The standard commission rate for most real estate brokers is 6%. This is usually split between the sales agent (listing agent) and buyer agent. However, that full 6% isn’t really going to the sales agent and listing agent. It first goes to the listing brokerage. At that point, an agent often receives a cut of between 60% and 90%, but it can be lower. If you’re going to hire an agent, it's highly recommended that you research their history. If that agent has an excellent track record, it might be worth paying a premium, which essentially means paying full commission."

( USATSI)Both the South Carolina state House Minority Leader and the national gay rights group GLAAD have called on Clemson coach Dabo Swinney to back out of a scheduled appearance at a fundraiser for the Palmetto Family Council, a conservative advocacy group that opposes gay marriage. Clemson spokeswoman Robin Denny confirmed to The State that Swinney is scheduled to receive an award from the Council at its June 2 fundraiser in Columbia, in honor of what Denny called \"\"personal factors\"\" and Council president Oran Smith called Swinney's Christian testimony. The appearance, however, \"\"is not a speaking engagement,\"\" per Denny. That's not good enough for state representative Todd Rutherford, D-Richland. “I find it highly inappropriate that Coach Swinney would appear at a fundraiser for an organization that is so openly discriminatory and politically motivated,” the House Minority Leader said in a statement published by The State. “ I cannot fathom why Coach Swinney or anyone else would knowingly assist a group whose mission is to fight against equal rights and equal treatment of others. ”GLAAD issued a statement on its website Tuesday calling the Council event an \"\"anti-LGBT fundraiser\"\" and issuing its support for a student-led petition asking Swinney to \"\"bow out\"\" of the appearance. \"\" Coach Swinney has an obligation to the players he leads and all students that attend Clemson to use his considerable profile to promote causes that bring us together, not tear us apart,\"\" said Zeke Stokes, GLAAD Vice President of Programs and a South Carolina native. \"\" The Palmetto Family Council's values are out of line with the values of love and acceptance for all people, and I hope the Coach will reconsider the message that his aligment with them sends. \"\""

November 10, 2009 By Jay Thompson Share 0 0 0 1 0Spend much time on real estate blogs, internet message boards and the like and it won’t take long to hear Realtor Bashers making wild claims about over-paid real estate agents. And while it’s true that one can make very good money in real estate sales, the simple fact is the vast majority of real estate agents actually earn very little. Here is some data that was shared by the Arizona Regional Multiple Listing Service (ARMLS) in a “Broker’s Breakfast” this morning. Apply a little simple math, and it highlights what real estate agents typically earn, at least here in central Arizona (though I suspect the numbers are similar across the country). Some facts: At the end of 2008, there were 33,500 agent subscribers to ARMLS.20,466 of those agents (61%) had at least one sales transaction. Conversely, that means 39% of agents in the Phoenix area sold nothing in 2008.7,156 agents (21%) had $1 million or more in sales volume. Those 7,156 agents had $23.6B of the areas $29.4B in sales transactions (80.1%)In short, it’s the age-old “80/20 rule” ”“ 20% of the agents do 80% of the business. What does this mean?

More so with foreclosed properties. This is because all foreclosed properties are for sale on an “as is where is” basis. But what does “as is where is” mean in real estate?! Yes, I still get a lot of questions asking what this means, so I will try to answer it here. What does the term “AS IS WHERE IS” mean in real estate? In a nutshell, I believe the term “as is where is” simply means that the buyer will inherit all of the physical and legal conditions of the foreclosed property they are going to buy, as is! In essence, the definition of “ as is where is” can be summarized as, you get everything that comes with a property, at its present condition, good or bad, when you buy it. For example, if a property badly needs repairs, or if it has illegal occupants, or if the title of a foreclosed property has a problem, or if it is located beside a garbage dump or cemetery, etc, the buyer expressly agrees to buy the property in such condition."

Glow plugs which were subjected to overvoltage look like this Overvoltage damages/Broken heating coil Overvoltage damage arises when the wrong glow plug (12 V instead of 24 V) was installed. It is also possible that the control unit generates too much voltage or the current flow is switched off too late. The control unit and alternator should be inspected. Severe overheating can also break glow plugs Overheating damage/break A break as a result of overheating indicates that the spray pattern of the fuel quantity is not correct, if the point of injection time is not correct. Non-tight pistons and valves can also be a cause for this, insofar as oil penetrates into the combustion chamber.

Any diesel engine will run safely on pure biodiesel. But it has to be top-quality biodiesel, which isn't always the case, not even when it's commercial fuel made by professionals and backed by big business. The good news is that anyone can learn how to make their own top-quality biodiesel using the instructions and quality checks provided here, very few homebrewers are chemists or technicians. Start here. That said, there are a few things you need to know about using biodiesel in your vehicle.

The wire runs from the alternator through the bulkhead and up to the warning light mounted in the dashboard. From here it runs to the ignition/starter switch. In general, if the charging system is working normally, the warning light should glow when the ignition is switched on and then extinguish when the engine is started. But the light does behave in slightly different ways depending on the type of generator fitted to your car. If your car is equipped with a dynamo it is normal for the light to flicker at idling speeds as this type of generator produces little or no current at low engine speeds. The light should extinguish when the engine speed is raised. If your car is fitted with an alternator the warning light should not come on when the engine is idling, provided the idle setting is correct, because an alternator produces current even at low speeds."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Literature & Language Languages and Cultures English Language Definitions Comparisons The Difference Between What is the difference between a hot plug and cold plug? Flag What is the difference between a hot plug and cold plug? Answer by Fan tom Confidence votes 510\"\"Hot\"\" or \"\"cold\"\" in reference to a spark plug indicates how quickly heat is dissipated by means of sinking to the surrounding metal mass into which plug is screwed . . . which, in turn, is dictated by the cathode path distance from the tip of the plug to the threaded base (or ground). If the distance is long (which makes the plug itself longer), then the heat dissipation path is longer and so heat is dissipated slower, thus making for a \"\"hot\"\" plug. Conversely, the shorter heat dissipation path in a (comparatively) shorter plug of same electrical properties would make for a comparatively \"\"cold\"\" plug. We do not typically speak of cold plugs as those would constitute plugs specified for normal, or average, use. Hot plugs (of increased length), on the other hand, are used in circumstances, such as extensive idling in park, where plug temperature does not reach sufficient average temperature to prevent carbon fouling (and subsequent, engine damaging knocking) as a result of incomplete fuel burning. The most typical application is in taxi cabs . . . where long period at idle are spent waiting for fares."

If you realize you’ve done this before starting the car, leave it off. Have it towed to the repair shop of your choice. They’ll drain the tank, probably replace the fuel filters, maybe clean or replace the fuel lines, and you’re good to go. If the car is running, you’ve got problems. Gas will burn in a diesel, but it burns a lot hotter and the flash point is a lot lower. Fuel system has to be completely flushed, obviously. Your fuel pump will have to be replaced. You may have melted your glow plugs, which would require extensive cylinder head work. You may have washed the lubricant out of the cylinders, which could cause your piston rings to weld themselves to the cylinder walls."

In the UK for example, if your car was registered after 1st August 1992 you must have the Cat present and working for the Mo T test. Previously registered cars can have the Cat permanently removed.

"text": "Engine Jul 1, 2008 12:00 am Getting a Fix on Piston Diagnosis and Inspection Share Tweet Print Email Larry Carley, author View bio Piston failures in late-model engines are relatively uncommon thanks to computerized engine controls that keep a close watch on the air/fuel mixture, and knock sensors that back off spark timing advance if detonation is detected. Pistons are also lasting longer because many engines now come factory-equipped with stronger hypereutectic alloy pistons that can withstand higher operating temperatures, or even forged pistons. Some pistons also have a factory anti-scuff coating on the skirt to prevent damage if the engine overheats or runs low on oil. Yet in spite of these things, pistons do sometimes fail. The symptoms of a piston failure can include engine noise (rattling or knocking noises while the engine is idling), oil burning, misfiring and loss of power. If the Check Engine light is on and you find a misfire code for a specific cylinder, and the engine is suffering any or all of the above symptoms, it may be a clue that you’re dealing with a mechanical problem rather than a fuel or ignition problem. Misfires can be caused by a variety of problems, including a dirty or dead fuel injector, a bad spark plug or plug wire, or a bad ignition coil on a coil-on-plug or multi-coil distributorless ignition system. But a fuel or ignition problem won’t cause engine noise or blue smoke in the exhaust. Loss of compression also can cause a misfire and a loss of power. A compression loss can occur if the engine has a burned exhaust valve, a bent valve, weak or broken valve springs, a blown head gasket, a rounded cam lobe — or a bad piston."

Note the brown to greyish tan color, and minimal amount of electrode erosion which clearly indicates the plug is in the correct heat range and has been operating in a \"\"healthy\"\" engine. Mechanical Damage May be caused by a foreign object that has accidentally entered the combustion chamber. When this condition is discovered, check the other cylinders to prevent a recurrence, since it is possible for a small object to \"\"travel\"\" from one cylinder to another where a large degree of valve overlap exists. This condition may also be due to improper reach spark plugs that permit the piston to touch or collide with the firing end. Oil Fouled Too much oil is entering the combustion chamber. This is often caused by piston rings or cylinder walls that are badly worn. Oil may also be pulled into the chamber because of excessive clearance in the valve stem guides. If the PCV valve is plugged or inoperative it can cause a build-up of crankcase pressure which can force oil and oil vapors past the rings and valve guides into the combustion chamber. Overheated A clean, white insulator firing tip and/or excessive electrode erosion indicates this spark plug condition."

However if you have a broken bolt/stud we are able to remove them using multiple methods. These methods vary greatly and it depends on how and where a bolt is broken as to how we will attempt to remove it. We may be able to remove it using an extractor however if we are unable to remove it that way we may be able to drill the bolt/stud. If you have broken a bolt/stud and attempt to remove it yourself you can in fact make the job a lot harder for us, i.e. breaking off an extractor or drill in the bolt/stud will increase the difficulty of the job immensely. Also if you attempt to drill a broken stud/bolt and drill it off line you can drill through the wall of the bolt/stud hole and depending on where the bolt/stud is situated this could cause a major problem. However even if you have done any of the things mentioned above we may still be able to rectify the situation using the tools and experience we have built up over 30 years of offering this type of repair. Depending on what bolt/stud is broken we may be able to offer an in-situ repair. This depends on how much access we have to the offending item. We need to be able to get to the broken item with a drill and then be able to see to make sure everything stays in line."

( May 2015)Spark plug with single side electrode A spark plug (sometimes, in British English, a sparking plug, [1] and, colloquially, a plug) is a device for delivering electric current from an ignition system to the combustion chamber of a spark-ignition engine to ignite the compressed fuel/air mixture by an electric spark, while containing combustion pressure within the engine. A spark plug has a metal threaded shell, electrically isolated from a central electrode by a porcelain insulator. The central electrode, which may contain a resistor, is connected by a heavily insulated wire to the output terminal of an ignition coil or magneto. The spark plug's metal shell is screwed into the engine's cylinder head and thus electrically grounded. The central electrode protrudes through the porcelain insulator into the combustion chamber, forming one or more spark gaps between the inner end of the central electrode and usually one or more protuberances or structures attached to the inner end of the threaded shell and designated the side, earth, or ground electrode (s)."

It just indicates that something is wrong with the engine. It can be related to emission, exhaust system, loose gas cap, or even failed spark plugs. Engine is the heart of a car. Just like with a human heart, all kinds of issues within other organs can affect its functionality. Not all of these repairs are expensive. But you won’t know exactly where the problem lives until you visit the mechanic. Depending on the type of fault, this light can be flashing, steady, or even different colors like the traffic-lights. If the light is flashing, find an exit, stop the car and call a mechanic or a towing service, because you won’t be able to solve this on your own, and it’s usually a more serious issue that can cause damage if you continue to drive for too long.

"text": "\"Diagnosing Misfires Download PDFMisfire is a common drivability problem that may or may not be easy to diagnose, depending on the cause. A misfiring cylinder in a four-cylinder engine is, pardon the pun, hard to miss. The loss of 25% of the engine's power output is the equivalent of a horse trying to run on three legs. The engine may shake so badly at idle that it causes vibrations that can be felt in the steering wheel and throughout the vehicle. The engine also may be hard to start and may even stall at idle, depending on the accessory load (air conditioning, headlights and electric rear defroster, for example). When misfire occurs, performance suffers along with fuel economy, emissions and idle quality. And, when a misfiring vehicle is subjected to an emissions test, it will usually fail because of the unusually high levels of hydrocarbons (HC) in the exhaust. What causes a cylinder to misfire? Basically, it's one of three things: loss of spark; the air/fuel mixture is too far out of balance to ignite; or loss of compression. Loss of spark includes anything that prevents coil voltage from jumping the electrode gap at the end of the spark plug."

A total of eight glow plugs are used; one for each cylinder. Each glow plug is threaded into a cylinder head port located just below the injector nozzle. The tip of each plug extends into a pre-chamber which concentrates the fuel/air mixture prior to combustion. The glow plugs are operated by a controller/relay mounted on the rocker cover or intake manifold. The relay is in circuit with the ignition switch and is energized only when the switch is in the Start and Run positions.

The benefits are both more power and economy. If you think there is a problem due to bad fuel or buildup, you can try running a can of diesel purge through the fuel system. Buildup due to low quality fuel and normal wear will disturb the spray pattern and cause uneven combustion and temperatures. If the problem is wear, the only solution is nozzle replacement. You can also replace the nozzles with larger nozzles with a larger opening to make more power (and possibly more smoke) by injecting more fuel. It's unlikely for damage to occur from only worn OEM nozzles but replacing the nozzles will restore your lost fuel economy, power, make less smoke, and give the car a smoother idle. For more information on nozzle selection and technical details, see 1000q: nozzle selection FAQ and 1000q: basic power modifications. Although this is an easy job, cleanliness is extremely important! The nozzle holes are very small and particles can damage and clog the injectors."

The total solar eclipse will reportedly occur on August 21, 2017. The phenomenon is called the \"\"Great American Total Solar Eclipse.\"\" According to sky enthusiasts, the upcoming solar eclipse will be the first one that is totally visible in the US after almost 40 years. Great American Total Solar Eclipse Phenomenon - What is It? The Great American Total Solar Eclipse is a rare phenomenon as reported by Space.com. According to the outlet, the total solar eclipse will cover 70 miles (113 kilometers) of land in the US from Oregon to South Carolina. It is reportedly so big that people from both ends of the coasts in America can see the total solar eclipse from where they are standing. A total solar eclipse is a phenomenon when the moon is between the sun and the earth. The shadow is cast on earth and it envelopes the sky of the earth that it temporarily becomes dark, according to Time and Date."

"text": "How to View the 2017 Solar Eclipse Safely Looking directly at the sun is unsafe except during the brief total phase of a solar eclipse (“totality”), when the moon entirely blocks the sun’s bright face, which will happen only within the narrow path of totality ( https://go.nasa.gov/2p C0lhe ). The only safe way to look directly at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun is through special-purpose solar filters, such as “eclipse glasses” (example shown at left) or hand-held solar viewers. Homemade filters or ordinary sunglasses, even very dark ones, are not safe for looking at the sun; they transmit thousands of times too much sunlight. Refer to the American Astronomical Society (AAS) Reputable Vendors of Solar Filters & Viewers page for a list of manufacturers and authorized dealers of eclipse glasses and handheld solar viewers verified to be compliant with the ISO 12312-2 international safety standard for such products. Always inspect your solar filter before use; if scratched or damaged, discard it. Read and follow any instructions printed on or packaged with the filter. Always supervise children using solar filters. Stand still and cover your eyes with your eclipse glasses or solar viewer before looking up at the bright sun. After looking at the sun, turn away and remove your filter — do not remove it while looking at the sun. Do not look at the uneclipsed or partially eclipsed sun through an unfiltered camera, telescope, binoculars, or other optical device."

"text": "\"davidfntau on Flickr This Friday, March 20, marks this year's first and only total eclipse of the sun, when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun. Not only that, this is an extremely rare type of solar eclipse because it takes place on the first day of spring and when the moon is at its closest distance to Earth, known as a supermoon. ( The supermoon, however, is a new moon, and will therefore be invisible to Earth. ) This is the first time since the turn of the century that a total solar eclipse has fallen on the same day as the start of spring, known as the vernal equinox. We won't see an event like this again until the year 2034. And after that, the only other two such events will be in 2053 and 2072. Although no one in the US will get a chance to see the total solar eclipse, many parts of Northern Africa and all of Europe will get a glimpse. The most stunning part of the eclipse, when the moon is directly in front of the sun, will take place at approximately 9:46 am UT. Check out the map below to see where in the world the eclipse will be visible: Time and Date If you're not in the right spot to see it in person, you can watch it online.

There are 7 eclipses in 365 days 29 times in the 21st century!A solar eclipse happens at new moon, when the moon passes between the sun and Earth. A lunar eclipse happens at full moon when Earth is between the sun and moon. Why aren’t there eclipses at every full and new moon? There are at least four eclipses every year – two solar and two lunar. Four is a common number of eclipses in a year; for example, the years 2015 and 2016 have four eclipses. But four is also the minimum number. Depending on the year, there can be four eclipses, five eclipses, six eclipses or a maximum of seven eclipses in a single year."

To follow the webcasts, visit: Solar Eclipse Webcasts by Slooh, Virtual Telescope Project It's not likely that many people will witness the upcoming \"\"ring of fire\"\" annular solar eclipse on Tuesday (April 29), but if it were a total eclipse of the sun, then it might have been another story entirely. For one thing, the April 29 annular solar eclipse is a highly rare \"\"non-central eclipse,\"\" with the axis of the moon's shadow — known as the antumbra during an annular eclipse — passing mere kilometers above the continent of Antarctica. This eclipse is also in a very remote part of the world, making it very expensive to access, and with a low probability that observations could be made with its low altitude above the horizon. There is little if any scientific value for an annular eclipse, especially at the low altitude where atmospheric effects would make extracting useful information difficult at best, and compared to a total eclipse nowhere near as visually spectacular. A partial solar eclipse will be visible from Australia, and parts of southern Indonesia, according to forecasts. [ \"\" Ring of Fire\"\" Solar Eclipse of April 29: Visibility Maps (Gallery)]But if Tuesday's sun show were a total solar eclipse, certainly, someone would organize at least a plane to fly there to observe above any clouds. It is a popular misconception that the phenomenon of a total eclipse of the sun is a rare occurrence. Quite the contrary."

A solar eclipse occurs when the moon passes between the sun and the earth. During a total solar eclipse, the moon completely obscures the sun. At this time, both the sun and the moon - which is 400 times smaller than the sun, but 400 times closer to Earth - appear the same size in the sky while the moon casts a small, circular shadow on Earth.2. As the moon orbits Earth, the shadow moves in a narrow ribbon across it - known as the path of totality. To view a total solar eclipse, you must be within this path. The shadow of tomorrow's eclipse will be about 140 kilometres wide and begin in the Northern Territory at sunrise, cross the top of far north Queensland and exit the east coast between Innisfail and Port Douglas."

The ring-shaped solar eclipse, known as an annular eclipse, will occur Thursday and Friday (May 9 and 10) Eastern time. Weather permitting, the eclipse will be visible in certain parts of Australia and the Southern Pacific Ocean, where the local time will be Friday. The first solar eclipse of 2013 occurs at the Moon’s descending node in eastern Ares. An annular eclipse will be visible from Australia, eastern Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and the Gilbert Islands. “Solar eclipses can be inspirational to students and others, so it is interesting to have everyone view the eclipse, but only safe methods of viewing should be used,” Jay Pasachoff, an astronomer at Williams College and chair of the International Astronomical Union’s working group on eclipses, said in a statement. [ See Spectacular Photos of a ‘Ring of Fire’ Solar Eclipse]While nearly 95 percent of the sun will be covered by the moon at the eclipse’s peak, the sky will not be noticeably darker to the naked eye at any point, explained Williams College officials in Williamstown, Mass. For this reason, special protective lenses, camera and telescope filters and other methods of protection should be used in order to safely watch the eclipse even during full annularity, when the sun is silhouetting the moon. The path of annularity passes through parts of Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Western Australia, the Northern Territory and Queensland in Australia. Other nearby parts of the world will be able to see a partial solar eclipse, if weather permits. The Hawaiian Islands, other parts of Australia, the southern Philippines, eastern Indonesia, other areas in Papua New Guinea and a small part of New Zealand will get at least a partial show, Williams College officials said."

I’m going to start out with a little background information on eclipses, and then talk a bit about how we can interpret them. Eclipses are very important events astrologically, and yet they are also very misunderstood (much like the Moon’s Nodes, which just happen to be the transiting eclipse points...). Most people think that eclipses are very rare events, but actually we have two sets of eclipses every year, or one set of eclipses every five and a half months or so."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Astronomy Planetary Science The Solar System The Sun Solar Eclipses What happens during a solar eclipse? Flag What happens during a solar eclipse? Answer by Ken Mitchell Confidence votes 35.0KRetired US Navy officer, astronomy buff, history nut. During a solar eclipse, the moon comes between the sun and the earth, blocking view of the sun from some parts of the earth by casting its shadow. The longest this lasts in any one place on the earth's surface is about 6 minutes, but the alignment of sun, moon and earth that throws the moon's shadow on the earth can last for several hours while the shadow moves across the earth's surface. Adjacent to those places where the sun's disk is totally blocked, where the eclipse is said to be total, there is a wider zone where the sun is never totally blocked, and there the eclipse is said to be partial. Even in places where the eclipse is eventually total, there are times before and after totality when the eclipse is partial. While it is safe to look directly at a total solar eclipse, which is a very spectacular event, care must be taken to avoid looking directly at a partial solar eclipse. The portion of the sun that is not blocked by the moon during a partial eclipse is so bright that, even though it may not be painful, it can burn the retina (light-sensing cells in the back of your eyeball) literally before you can blink. Depending on severity, such burns can take months to heal, or can be permanent, resulting in vision defects or blindness."

Birds prepare for bed; the sky darkens in the middle of the day. It seems as though something dreadful is about to happen. Over the years, experience has shown us that old things come to an end (or are overthrown!) under a solar eclipse and a new beginning can be made. The effect on the world of eclipses has been seen to be generally felt for some six months, until the next eclipse then restructures the cosmic energies. Astrologically, solar eclipses signify the fall of the mighty (or at least, they're in big trouble!). Depending where in the zodiac the eclipse occurs, stress is always placed on the matters governed by that sign, or sector of the zodiac. A powerful Solar Eclipse can create massive havoc, in accordance with other aspects in the heavens at the time, as can be clearly seen by the trail of earthquakes and other disasters associated with the Solar Eclipse and Grand Cross of August 1999. At a more personal level, the solar eclipse can have a big effect on our personal lives when it occurs in conjunction with one of our natal planets, especially our natal Sun, Moon, or Ruling Planet."

As the moon’s shadow passes over the earth, only a relatively narrow pathway across the nation will have the opportunity to view this once-in-a-lifetime event. Due to the angle of the eclipse, only the southern half of St. Louis will experience the total solar eclipse. The northern half of the County will only see a partial eclipse. Because of this, thousands of people will be heading south that day to see this amazing event. St. Louis County’s Jefferson Barracks Park will be hosting an eclipse viewing event on this date. At the park, the moon’s shadow begins its pass over the sun at 11:49 a.m. and the total eclipse phase will be from 1:17 p.m. – 1:19 .pm. Eye protection, in the form of specialized eclipse glasses will be required for safe viewing of the sun - looking at the sun directly, even during an eclipse, can cause permanent eye damage.

This has led to the event sometimes being referred to as a Horizontal Eclipse. It occurs during every lunar eclipse at all those places on the Earth where it is sunrise or sunset at the time of the eclipse. The reddened light that reaches the Moon comes from all the simultaneous sunrises and sunsets on the Earth and from the atmosphere of Earth bending light inwards towards the Moon. The phenomena is not a type of eclipse, nor a sub classification of any type of eclipse, it is simple a phenomena which occurs during a lunar eclipse just before sunset or just after sunrise. This phenomenon may seem like an impossibility - to be able to see both the Sun and Moon in the sky at the same time during a lunar eclipse. How is it possible? Depending on the observer’s location there is short window of one to a few minutes when it is possible to simultaneously view the sun rising in the east and the eclipsed full moon setting in the west. One or both bodies may actually be below the horizon but atmospheric refraction causes astronomical objects to appear higher in the sky than they are in reality. A selenehelion phenomenon is best observed from high ground with clear unobstructed vision towards both ends of the horizon."

"text": "Cleaning, grooming and other rabbit care information Cleaning ears You should regularly check inside your rabbit's ears to make sure there isn't any build up of wax or other gunk. If there is, take your rabbit to the vet. Rabbits can get ear mites, which cause itching and a build up of yucky stuff. Never poke anything into your rabbit's ears as you can damage the inner ear. Do I have to wash my rabbit? NO!!! Never wash a rabbit unless it is very dirty or has soiled itself. Rabbits can go into shock when you immerse them in water. Rabbits do a very good job of keeping themselves clean and only need help when they are very sick. If you have to wash your rabbit, fill a bath/tub with about an inch of water."

Older rabbit books are useful sources of this information. Let’s face it, pellets only came on the market after World War II. If you are feeding pellets, I suggest you contact the feed company and ask for an ingredients list. Not just a nutritional breakdown, but a list of the actual items used. You may be in for a surprise. I was! Some years ago I asked for this list from one of the big-name feed companies that made it. I was shocked to find animal tallow among the ingredients, also listed was animal flour and animal fats. Rabbits are herbivores that eat mostly green food, grain and roots."

"text": "\"Head Tilt in House Rabbits Related Articles: Housing and Care for Critically Ill Rabbitsby Susan A. Brown, DVM September 2006Editor's Note: This article is not meant to help the lay person diagnose and treat head tilt, and any rabbit showing signs of head tilt should be taken to the vet without delay. Head tilt in rabbits is seen with some frequency and can be caused by a variety of diseases. Another common name for head tilt is \"\"wry neck\"\". The correct medical term is vestibular disease (which can include other signs besides a head tilt). Another term that is often used is \"\"torticollis\"\" which means that the neck muscles are contracted and if this occurs, it develops as a consequence of the disease which keeps the head in a tilted position where over time the muscles may contract. This does not occur in all rabbits with vestibular disease, therefore the term \"\"torticollis\"\" is not the best term to use for the cause of the disease because in reality it is a potential consequence of the disease. Rabbits with vestibular disease can have a head position that ranges from a few degrees to 180 degrees off the normal position. They can fall over, circle, have difficulties standing and develop eye injuries because the prominent eye globe (especially of the \"\"down\"\" eye) is prone to trauma. The cardinal signs of true vestibular disease in the rabbit are a persistent head tilt and a loss of balance. In this article I will discuss the causes and treatments of the diseases that can cause head tilt in the rabbit."

We lost one this past summer. An autopsy revealed liver disease. We already knew that a defective liver is unable to filter anesthetics, and we had been screening by blood panel for this condition in rabbits over 2 years old. The fact that Sarah was only 18 months caused us to lower our age recommendations for a blood panel prior to surgery (HRJ, Vol.1 #9). As we began preoperative screening among our foster rabbits and check-ups on our family rabbits, a disproportionate number of rabbits showed elevated liver enzymes (excess liver enzymes in the blood indicate leakage from the liver, which is not handling toxins adequately). Both Tinker Bell, a large Californian, and Dinah, our gold mini-lop, showed elevated liver enzymes. The final results of an autopsy on a rabbit with a degenerative illness indicated the primary cause of death was liver disease, and Sarah had just died of liver failure after surgery."

Why rabbits are pests Production threat Environmental threat Public threat Rabbits have been a major agricultural and environmental pest in parts of New Zealand since the 1870s. While rabbits are now widespread throughout the Waikato region, in most locations they are no more than a nuisance factor as the region’s high rainfall and lush growth restricts their abundance. However, periodic infestations can be found around the sandy pumice soils south of Tokoroa and Lake Taupō (particularly the Western Bays), along the narrow strip of land either side of the Waikato River as far north as Rangiriri, and in the coastal communities of the Coromandel. Uncontrolled rabbit populations can expand rapidly in the holiday areas of Coromandel and Taupō as many properties are not occupied year round. Holiday home owners should consider rabbit control as a regular part of their property management. The European rabbit was introduced to New Zealand as a food source and hunting resource in the 1830s. Females can produce 45 to 50 young each year, but only about 10 per cent of juveniles survive to six months of age. In large numbers, rabbits compete for grazing, reducing the amount of palatable pasture and farm stocking capacity. They contribute to erosion and undermine buildings with their burrowing and affect dune restoration and native restoration programmes."

Like the human ear, rabbits' ears are also divided into three sections. The Outer Ear The visible ear is the rotating, signal-capture portion of the outer ear called the pinna (Figure 1). It is rarely the smallest part of the hearing apparatus, though. Rabbit ears range from the kitten-like ears of a Netherland dwarf to the ridiculously long ears of an English lop, accounting for up to 12% of the rabbit's surface area. In up-eared (some would say \"\"normal\"\") rabbits, each ear can rotate nearly 270º to allow detection of the source of a sound, or even to monitor two sounds at once. The pinna also has a relatively large blood supply, and the extensive network of blood vessels provides a lot of surface area for heat exchange. When he gets overheated, a rabbit's ear vessels will swell with blood. This is a major part of his temperature-control system. As blood circulates through the ear, heat is given off so that the blood returning to the rest of the body is cooler than when it entered."

Since there is always more than 1 rabbit, trapping is not a practical option. And while there are some plants rabbits do not particularly like, they will eat anything if they get hungry enough. To keep rabbits from destroying your garden, you will need a combination of repellents, diversions, and barriers. Repellents It would be nice if we could just figure out what rabbits avoid and place that throughout our yards. But as with all animals, repellents only work part of the time. If an animal is hungry or even too young to know better, they will munch on anything. However rabbits are somewhat picky, especially about scent, and repellents can be quite effective. Any repellent is going to need to be re-applied throughout the growing season. Most will need to be reapplied after a rain and after there has been a good amount of new plant growth."

How to Protect Roses From Animals Signs That Deer Are Eating Your Rosebushes Roses (Rosa spp.) are hardy in any U. S. Department of Agriculture plant hardiness zone, but their ability to withstand different low temperatures mean nothing when faced with a hungry rabbit. These are practical animals that will eat first what they can reach, meaning that your rose bushes are more likely to suffer leaf loss and damaged canes or stems if attacked by rabbits. The blossoms are usually up higher on the plant, often out of a rabbit’s reach, but that does not mean the petals will never be eaten. Canes, Bark and Leaves Rabbits tend to gravitate toward plants belonging to the rose family, including roses themselves and fruits like berries and cherries. However, rabbits usually eat bark off trees and the lower leaves and canes on shrubs like roses. If the flowers themselves are up high, such as on an older bush that is more than a couple of feet tall, you’ll probably see damage only to the parts of the canes and leaves that the rabbit can reach. That being said, the University of Illinois Extension warns that if desperate for food, the rabbits will eat whatever they can find -- and that implies that rose petals would be fair game, too. Lenten Rose One “rose” you might have heard of is the Lenten rose (Helleborus x hybridus; USDA zones 4 through 9), which the Clemson Cooperative Extension calls naturally rabbit-repellent."

These negative effects occur every single time one drinks, even a single beer. The more one drinks, the stronger these negative effects. ( Those pleasurable effects will begin to fade quickly). Over time, the body becomes damaged from drinking… more damaged than you probably know. In fact, alcohol can cause several types of cancer. Aside from bodily harm, alcohol use has been linked to depression, anxiety, societal withdrawal, violent behavior, an increase in unprotected sex, and increased risk of motor vehicle accidents , suicide, injury, domestic violence , and even drowning.

Changes in liver function tests give a clue as to whether your liver is under strain, inflamed, infected or diseased, and how badly. The pattern of the tests can give a clue to the cause and can allow early detection of unsuspected problems, and monitoring of known problems. In this article What are liver function tests? Where and what is the liver, and what does it do? What liver function tests are there? What does an abnormal bilirubin level mean? What does an abnormal albumin level mean?

And yet, when your liver is damaged, you generally won’t know about it – until things get serious. Drinking alcohol can increase your risk of developing liver disease and cause irreparable damage to this very important part of your body. In fact, alcohol is a major cause of the 25% increase in deaths from liver disease in England over the last decade (from 9,231 in 2001 to 11,575 in 2009) 2. Overall, alcohol-related liver disease accounts for well over a third (37%) of liver disease deaths. And figures show victims of liver disease are getting younger – more than one in 10 of deaths of people in their 40s are from liver disease, most of them from alcochol-related liver disease 3. The types of liver disease There are many types of liver disease, three of the most common are:1. Alcohol-related fatty liver-disease Where the liver is damaged after alcohol abuse.2. Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease A build-up of fat within liver in liver cells.3. Viral (Hepatitis)An inflammation (swelling) of the liver caused by a viral infection.4."

All vertebrates, and the majority of invertebrates, have a brain. Some \"\"primitive\"\" animals such as jellyfishes and starfishes have a decentralized nervous system without a brain, while sponges lack any nervous system at all. In vertebrates, the brain is located in the head, protected by the skull and close to the primary sensory apparatus of vision, hearing, balance, taste, and smell. The human brain appears to have no localized center of conscious control. The brain seems to derive consciousness from interaction among numerous systems within the brain. The human brain controls the central nervous system by way of the cranial nerves and spinal cord, the peripheral nervous system and regulates virtually all human activity."

It is located in the upper right quadrant of the abdomen and is about the size of a football. It weighs between three and 3.5 pounds. Not only is it the largest single organ in the human body, but it is also the only organ that is capable of repairing itself in the event that it becomes damaged. Unfortunately, that damage often comes from excessive alcohol consumption. The Liver's Job The liver has an extremely important job, so important, that if your liver were to completely shut down, you could only survive for a few days. However, it is possible to survive with only a small part of your liver that is functional. This is because the liver has the ability to generate new liver cells from the healthy cells that remain. The liver has many functions."

What is alcoholic liver disease? Dr Sarah Jarvis, GP and Clinical Director of patient.info Many of us enjoy an occasional alcoholic drink, and our body can cope with drinking a small amount of alcohol - but it really is a small amount. People who drink 1-2 units a day are statistically at a slightly lower risk of heart attack than teetotallers, but drinking more than that increases your risk of several cancers and heart disease, as well as liver disease - that news seems to be taking longer to filter through. How much alcohol is too much? Drinking more than the recommended safe limits of alcohol can cause significant problems with your health, and the more alcohol you drink, the greater the risks.

Common Liver Examinations: The following are common tests or examinations that your healthcare provider may perform on you to determine whether you have liver damage caused by chemotherapy (such as hepatotoxicity): Computerized Tomography (CT) Scan - This test is more specific than plain x-rays, as a computer takes x-rays of your chest, abdomen or pelvis region, from different angles, to show a cross-sectional view of your organs in your body. How it works: As you lie on a movable table, a scanner inside of a machine moves around you. X-rays are taken at different angles, as the computer records the pictures. The computer then puts the pictures in a certain order, so that the specialist can interpret the findings. Sometimes, you are required to drink a dye solution (called oral contrast), or a liquid dye is injected into a large vein. This helps to improve the picture, as the computer can then notice abnormalities as the dye passes through your body. You may be required to fast (not eat) after midnight the day of the exam. Your healthcare provider will provide specific instructions to you. ERCP (Endoscopic Retrograde Cholangiopancreatography): Using a long, narrow tube, an ERCP allows your healthcare provider to see your liver, gallbladder, pancreas and sphincter of Oddi in your body."

"text": "Uroabdomen (Urine leaking in abdominal cavity) in Cats4 Aug, 2015 Dr. Anne Marie Manning 164,782 Views Share Uroabdomen (Urine Leaking in Abdominal Cavity) in Cats The normal urinary tract is composed of two kidneys, two ureters, a urinary bladder and a urethra. As blood flows through the kidneys of the cat, waste products are removed and pass through thin tubes called ureters into the bladder. The urinary bladder is a reservoir for these waste products. When the bladder is sufficiently full, there is an urge to urinate and the urine is voluntarily released from the bladder, through the urethra and out the body. Any damage of the urinary tract can lead to leakage of urine outside of the urinary tract, resulting in urine accumulation within the abdomen. This is referred to as uroabdomen or uroperitoneum. A uroabdomen is a life threatening condition. Accumulation of urine in the abdomen creates serious disturbances in electrolytes such as potassium, which has adverse effects on the heart. Waste products that normally are cleared by the kidneys and eliminated in the urine are retained within the abdomen causing serious elevations in kidney values. Additionally, irritation and inflammation of the lining of the abdomen (peritonitis) results."

Water can be inhaled, as in near drowning, or it can enter by a medical lung-washing procedure called lavage. Your lungs can also fill up with water leaking from your blood stream into your lungs' air spaces, a condition called pulmonary edema, or it can leak out of your lungs into the chest cavity, a problem called pleural effusion or pleurisy. Removal methods depend on the cause. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Expelling Water If you guzzle your water too fast, removal is as simple as a powerful cough, your lung's first and best defense against foreign substances. If you nearly drown and inhale a lot of water, it goes two ways. Some is absorbed into your blood stream, and some is either coughed out or suctioned out by medical personnel who will snake a long, thin tube, called a suction catheter, down your windpipe to the water. Flushing Out If you have one of the lung disorders that can progress beyond normal levels of severity and cause buildup of thick, bacteria-laden mucus, like cyctic fibrosis, bronchiectasis, or advanced, life-threatening pneumonia, your doctor might recommend a lung-washing procedure called lavage. A tube is inserted into a specific lung region and water is flushed in. Lung water removal in this procedure is simply reversing the flush and suctioning it back out along with the mucus."

The results of laboratory tests on a patient are compared to reference ranges established by measuring the laboratory parameters in a group of normal animals. The reference ranges for each laboratory test differ between laboratories and across species. Be careful interpreting laboratory tests. An occasional animal will have a value for a laboratory test that falls outside the reference range, but the value may still be normal for that animal. Your veterinarian will interpret laboratory tests in light of the entire evaluation of your pet.

Sometimes the swelling is just a temporary response to hormonal changes, such as menstruation. In other instances, the swelling may be a symptom of a severe medical problem, such as heart or kidney disease. Some of the most common side effects of edema: Puffiness in the body Abnormal abdominal bloating Swelling of a particular body part (localized edema)Swelling throughout the body (generalized edema)Side Effects of Edema The main side effect people notice from water retention is that they are uncomfortably bloated. If you retain a large amount of fluid, you will notice swelling in your ankles, feet, and lower legs. If you apply pressure on the swollen area using your finger and it leaves an indentation that stays for some time after the release of the pressure, this type of edema is referred to as pitting edema. If the pressure applied to the skin does not result in a persistent indentation, this type of edema is known as nonpitting edema."

"text": "The renal system is a group of organs that work together to produce, store, and release urine. Urine is the liquid waste material excreted from the body. The organs that work together in this system include the kidneys, bladder, ureters, and urethra. It is also known as the urinary or the excretory system. The kidneys are a vital part of the renal system. They are located in the back portion of the abdominal cavity, with one on either side. Perhaps the most well-known function of the kidneys is to transport urine into the tubes known as ureters before it exits the body. These organs also have several other important functions, however, such as helping to regulate blood pressure. They also work to regulate the p H balance in the human body as well as the balance of electrolytes such as sodium and potassium. The next part of the system is the bladder, sometimes referred to as the urinary bladder."

What many people don’t realize is that getting a massage can provide several benefits for the body’s organs by improving digestion, blood circulation, and other bodily functions. That’s in addition to the benefits that relaxation and wellbeing have on the body. How does massage therapy affect the body’s organ systems? The human body contains 11 major organ systems; massage can manipulate these systems in differing ways, based on the momentary needs of the individual. Massage therapy uses the power of human touch for therapeutic purposes, as well as pampering and rejuvenation. Therapeutic benefits for individuals with Cerebral Palsy are wide ranging and include controlling stress levels, reducing pain, releasing muscular tension, improving digestion, stimulating sensory receptors, stimulating circulation, providing flexibility, and enhancing range of motion. Before the massage session begins, it is important that a massage therapist understand the client’s medical health and what the client would like accomplished during the massage. It is also recommended that primary care physicians are aware of the client’s intent to pursue massage therapy so they can discuss any concerns they may have that can affect ongoing treatment or health conditions. For instance, under certain circumstances, such as specific stages of pregnancy, massage should be avoided for important medical reasons."

"text": "Albumin – An Abnormal Result Should Cause Concern May 25, 2015 by Critical Care DVMPinterest Linked In Google+ Tumblr Reddit Email Share One of the main reasons for which dogs and cats are referred to me is a finding of an abnormal albumin level on blood work performed by a primary care doctor. Sometimes this abnormality is purely an incidental finding, but often patients are sick (thus explaining why the blood test was performed in the first place). A proactive approach to determine the cause of an abnormal albumin result is recommended, and below I discuss some of the major causes of this derangement. Happy reading!Albumin – What is it? Albumin is the body’s major protein that is made in the liver. Measurement helps a veterinarian indirectly assess a patient’s health, particularly kidney and liver function, as well as nutritional status. Albumin has several important jobs, including transporting a plethora of molecules (i.e. : calcium, bilirubin, various drugs) throughout the body and helping keep fluid from leaking out of blood vessels into other tissues. Albumin – Why does it become low? I like to keep things simple as much as possible, especially when thinking about complicated metabolic processes. There are multiple potential causes of low albumin in dogs and cats, but in general most can be categorized into one of three groups: Inadequate formation in the liver Loss through the kidneys Loss through the gastrointestinal tract As I mentioned earlier, albumin is made in the liver."

"text": "Intro to Anatomy 6: Tissues, Membranes, Organs The Lone Ranger Published by The Lone Ranger 01-07-2007Membranes Membranes: A membrane generally consists of two layers of tissue – a layer of epithelium underlain and supported by a layer of connective tissue. ( Some membranes consist only of thin layers of connective tissue, with secretory cells scattered through the matrix.) Since membranes contain epithelial tissue, they’re typically found lining body cavities, surrounding organs, and lining tubes that lead out of the body. The skin is also a membrane. Mucous Membranes: Mucous membranes, as you’ve probably guessed, contain epithelium (usually columnar epithelium) that is specialized to secrete mucus. Mucous membranes line tubes and organs that lead to the outside of the body, such as the digestive, respiratory and reproductive passages. Mucus secreted by mucous membranes helps protect the digestive, reproductive, and respiratory tracts from infection by viruses and bacteria. In the digestive tract, mucus provides a protective barrier against digestive enzymes and acids that would damage the lining of the tract. Mucus membranes in the mouth and throat provide lubrication that protects against damage during chewing and swallowing. Mucous membranes in the female reproductive tract provide lubrication that protects against damage during sexual intercourse and during childbirth."

"text": "Ig A Nephropathy What is immunoglobulin A (Ig A) nephropathy? Ig A nephropathy, also known as Berger’s disease, is a kidney disease that occurs when Ig A deposits build up in the kidneys, causing inflammation that damages kidney tissues. Ig A is an antibody—a protein made by the immune system to protect the body from foreign substances such as bacteria or viruses. Most people with Ig A nephropathy receive care from a nephrologist, a doctor who specializes in treating people with kidney disease. How does Ig A nephropathy affect the kidneys? Ig A nephropathy affects the kidneys by attacking the glomeruli. The glomeruli are sets of looping blood vessels in nephrons—the tiny working units of the kidneys that filter wastes and remove extra fluid from the blood. The buildup of Ig A deposits inflames and damages the glomeruli, causing the kidneys to leak blood and protein into the urine. The damage may lead to scarring of the nephrons that progresses slowly over many years. Eventually, Ig A nephropathy can lead to end-stage kidney disease, sometimes called ESRD, which means the kidneys no longer work well enough to keep a person healthy."

It can occur in people with type 2 diabetes, the diabetes type that is most common and is caused by resistance to insulin, or in people with type 1 diabetes, the type that more often begins at an early age and results from decreased insulin production. Diabetic nephropathy is caused by damage to the tiniest blood vessels. When small blood vessels begin to develop damage, both kidneys begin to leak proteins into the urine. As damage to the blood vessels continues, the kidneys gradually lose their ability to remove waste products from the blood. Up to 40% of people with type 1 diabetes eventually develop significant kidney disease, which sometimes requires dialysis or a kidney transplant. Only four to six percent of all type 2 diabetes patients end up requiring dialysis, although about 20% to 30% of people with type 2 diabetes will develop at least some kidney damage. About 40 percent of all people who need to start dialysis have kidney failure from type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Symptoms There are usually no symptoms in the early stages of diabetic nephropathy."

In the Netherlands approximately 6000 to 9000 people are annually confronted with the construction of a stoma of the intestine or urinary tract. Because many stomas are temporary, stomas are replaced for example with a pouch, and also because unfortunately people die, the number of stoma wearers in our country remains roughly the same. But what actually is a stoma? According to the medical dictionary, a stoma is an unnatural artificial opening that binds a body cavity with the outside world, and is the result of illness or an operation. You can therefore imagine that there are many sorts of stomas. On this page we are only dealing with the ileostomy and the colostomy (for faeces) and the urostomy (for urine).

C. N. Leaky Gut Syndrome (Intestinal Permeability) is a very common condition in this day and age. It is the cause of much or our modern autoimmune illness: IBS, Chrons disease, allergies, asthma, food sensitivities, chemical sensitivities, arthritic conditions, chronic fatigue syndrome, multiple sclerosis, addison's disease, lupus, fibromyalgia, thyroiditis. It is an illness that depicts our modern times. A gut which has become inflamed will become very porous, (much more porous than it should be), and will allow large food proteins, bacteria, fungi, metals and toxic substances straight into our blood stream. This is the basis of \"\"Leaky Gut Syndrome\"\"In more scientific language, an increase in permeability of the intestinal mucosa to luminal macromolecules, antigens and toxins associated with inflammatory degenerative and/or atrophic mucosal damage. Once in the blood stream our immune system is the last line of defense to deal with these substances and it will eventually get overwhelmed if a Leaky Gut is not rectified. Back to top Cause Of Leaky Gut Syndrome Our intestinal lining replaces itself approximately every 24 hours. This means that every cell that the lining is composed of is digested or sloughed off, and a new one grows to take its place. All this activity means the gut uses more blood when it is resting than any other organ but it is also the first to lose its blood supply when in a fight or flight situation, which is what stress is. If you have a lot of stress then your gut will always be starved for blood and the lining will be impaired."

"text": "Rupture of the Bladder in Cats2 Jul, 2015 Dr. David Diamond 40,509 Views Share Overview of Feline Urinary Bladder Rupture Bladder rupture is a condition in which the urinary bladder tears and releases urine into the abdominal cavity. The bladder can rupture because of trauma, urinary obstruction, tumors, severe bladder disease, and during catheterization. Below is an overview on rupture of the bladder in cats followed by in-depth information about the diagnosis and treatment of this condition. There are no specific breed or sex predilections for this problem. Animals that experience rupture of the bladder can quickly become sick from substances in the urine that leak into the abdomen and get reabsorbed instead of being excreted. What to Watch For Depression Lack of appetite Vomiting Abdominal distension Lack of urine production Rupture of the bladder rarely occurs without the animal first showing other symptoms of urinary tract disease such as straining to urinate, bloody urine, and inability to urinate. Diagnosis of Bladder Rupture in Cats Diagnostic tests may include: Complete physical examination, including palpation of the abdomen, to rule out other injuries caused by the trauma, or to help diagnose the urinary tract symptoms Blood tests, including complete blood count and chemistry profile to rule-out other problems and help diagnose a ruptured bladder Abdominal radiographs (X-rays) to help visualize the size and shape of the urinary bladder Contrast radiographs to see if urine is leaking out of the bladder into the abdomen Abdominal ultrasound to look for free fluid in the abdominal cavity and to visualize the walls of the bladder Abdominocentesis, which is passing a needle through the wall of the abdomen, to help identify free fluid in the abdomen. The fluid may then be “dip stick” tested, or sent to the laboratory for more specific analysis. Treatment of Bladder Rupture in Cats Abdominal exploratory surgery with repair of the bladder wall defect is the definitive course of treatment. Sick animals are given intravenous fluids to help stabilize them prior to surgery."

"text": "Easy Bruising Due to Vitamin K Deficiency in Celiac Disease Posted by: Cleo Libonati, RN, BSN September 9, 2010Do you know someone who bruises easily? Do the marks develop into dark bluish swellings that hurt and take a long time to go away? If you have celiac disease, perhaps you had this problem before starting the gluten-free diet. Easy bruising is a type of ecchymosis, or superficial bleeding under the skin or mucous membrane, common in untreated celiacs – and may be the only symptom of celiac disease. While always a sign of an underlying problem, easy bruising in celiac disease results mainly from vitamin K deficiency induced by malabsorption of nutrients. Vitamin K deficiency impairs the body’s normal coagulation process and ability to form a clot in response to bleeding. Easy bruising must be taken seriously because vitamin K deficiency may become life-threatening, requiring rapid vitamin K medication. The good news is that vitamin K deficiency usually resolves quickly in 2 to 3 weeks on a strict gluten-free diet. A bruise is normally a flat reddish-purple discoloration or mark that develops from trauma, such as a blow, to soft tissues. It results from damage to underlying capillaries in the skin or mucous membranes."

Minor injuries include whiplash, cuts, bruises, and swollen muscles, tendons, or ligaments. They are mostly due to both the driver and pedestrian not paying attention. Pedestrians and drivers alike often suffer from a false sense of security while in parking lots. The driver may not look while adjusting his seat belt or turning on his radio.

Skipping oil changes and transmission services, driving too long on the same set of spark plugs--it's all deadly in the long run. Preventative care has improved the quality of a car's life and has extended the life of cars, too. Follow the suggested maintenance schedule for your vehicle and you will get longevity, peak performance, and efficient operation out of your vehicle. Driving with low or (yikes) no oil The oil light comes on when you're driving. Or, you hear the classic knock or tapping, but choose to turn up the radio instead of checking oil levels."

Cruise control systems should turn off as soon as you touch the brake or clutch, but to be safe, make sure it's switched off.to Stop a Car with No Brakes3 Pay attention to how your brake pedal feels. If it’s soft and goes to the floor, you may have low fluid, a faulty master cylinder or problems with your drums or calipers. You may be able to rebuild some braking pressure by pumping the brakes. If, however, your brake pedal is hard and does not move, something in your brake system may have seized or you may have an obstruction under the pedal. Try to feel with your foot (or have a passenger look) to see whether you have something under the brake pedal.to Stop a Car with No Brakes4 Pump your brakes. Pumping your brakes several times may rebuild enough pressure in the braking system for you to stop. This may take a while, so keep trying. You should do this even if your car is equipped with ABS, as the ABS is only activated when your car is braking too hard (which won't be the problem if your brakes have failed)."

"text": "\"This Site Was Built With You In Mind!If My Car Shakes or Vibrates While Driving, How Do I fix It?by Eddie Carrara If your car shakes while driving down the road or the steering wheel vibrates, you're not alone. One of the most common complaints of vehicle owners is vibrations. Whether it from the car tires, bent rim, or the brakes, they can be annoying and if left unattended for a long time, it could cause premature wear and tear on the tires and suspension. Most vehicle owners think that when their car shakes or vibrates, it means they need and alignment, this is not true. All that and alignment will do is point the tires in the right direction, you see, over time you car goes through some hard hits like potholes, curbs, speed bumps, and just every day poor road conditions. After a while, things get knocked out of place and the wheels are no longer pointing in the right direction, it's so minor that even the naked eye can't tell it's out of alignment, but an alignment machine will take measurements of your vehicle and compare it to the vehicles specifications, can you see how none of this has anything to do with your car shaking and vibrating? The most common cause of tire shakes or vibrations is tire balance. Most vibrations can be resolved by simply having your tires balanced by a qualified mechanic, but there are some cases where it gets a little more in depth because a tire balance didn't fix the vibration. This is where you need that qualified mechanic I was talking about; I find a lot of mechanics will give the customer a story and tell them their shock are bad or their alignment is out, just so the customer will go away.

You apply this product in the spring before the crabgrass seed sprouts. This granular herbicide works by creating a chemical barrier at the surface of the soil. As the seeds begin germination, they take in the herbicide and die. The most cost-effective way to apply a pre-emergent herbicide is to use a fertilizer with crabgrass preventer added to it.

A bridle that carries two bits, a curb bit and a snaffle, or \"\"bradoon,\"\" is called a double bridle. A snaffle is not necessarily a bit with a jointed bit mouthpiece, as is often thought. A bit is a snaffle because it creates direct pressure without leverage on the mouth. It is a bit without a shank.

Materials such as ceramic and platinum are both coinsidered to be very expensive materials. However, catalytic converters have been used in the USA since 1975 and in the UK since 1987, so as production volume increases, prices have come down and today replacing a catalytic converter is a routine job. Late model cars often have catalytic converters integral to the exhaust and not as a separate part. This means that when it fails, the manufacturer will recommend that a complete system is needed. We can remove the failed catalyst and graft in new parts without the expense and waste of replacing a perfectly good exhaust system. Why Did My Catalyic Converter Fail? Several things can cause a catalytic converter to fail. There is almost always a secondary problem with your car that will end up breaking the catalyst. The cat itself has no moving parts, so should last a long time, but here are some of the leading issues and things you should check to see why it’s happened: Accidentally using fuels containing lead used to be the single leading cause of converters failing due to contamination, though putting diesel in a petrol engine can also do a very good job too."

The symptoms of an exhaust leak may include a louder than normal exhaust sound, the sound of exhaust coming from unusual places on your car, a “ticking” noise when accelerating, and the smell of exhaust. However, don’t rely on your sense of smell as a conclusive means of determining if there’s an exhaust leak. Carbon monoxide has no odor. If you suspect any problem with the exhaust system, have it inspected immediately. Another symptom of a potential exhaust leak is a failed emissions test. A leak not only lets exhaust gas out, it also allows oxygen to enter the exhaust stream, which can be detected during an emissions test. You will usually be required to make repairs before retesting, so have the leak checked and repaired.

Fifty percent of Americans live in areas that exceed national clean air standards. Reducing tailpipe emissions, therefore, is a top priority in the effort to fight air pollution. In 1976, Bosch introduced what would eventually become one of THE most important technologies for reducing exhaust emissions: the oxygen sensor. By 1996, Bosch had produced its 100,000,000th oxygen sensor. Today, Bosch oxygen sensors are original equipment on a wide variety of European, Asian and domestic vehicles and are the #1 best selling brand in the aftermarket. Oxygen sensors have been standard equipment on passenger car and light truck engines since 1980-81. Most such vehicles have one or two oxygen sensors (two are typically used on selected V6 and V8 engines starting in the late 1980s). Since the introduction of Onboard Diagnostics II (OBD II) in 1995-96, the number of oxygen sensors per vehicle has doubled (the extra sensors are used downstream of the catalytic converter to monitor its operating efficiency). Yet, as important as oxygen sensors are today, few people are even aware of their presence, let alone the key role oxygen sensors play in engine performance and reducing pollution."

The Check Engine light comes on when the central computer in your car called PCM detects a fault that can affect exhaust emissions. How it works: you car has 15 to 20 sensors that monitor your vehicle performance and emissions. For example, there is a mass air flow sensor that measures the amount of air that enters your engine. There is an air-fuel ratio sensor that measures the amount of oxygen in your exhaust, and so on. When one of the sensor detects something abnormal, the computer sets the code and turns on the Check Engine light. There are few hundreds possible codes.

The... show more2 following 7 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: When a catalytic converter goes bad it will restrict the flow of exhaust gases through the exhaust system. Basically, if the exhaust won't come out easily, air won't be taken into the engine easily to mix with the fuel to be burnt and give you power. A vacuum test can be done at the intake manifold to determine flow. Also, exhaust back pressure can be measured at the O2 sensor port to determine if there is a restriction. Just driving the car is not a proper way to diagnose a problem like this, although an experienced technician may be able to make a good educated guess.db667089 · 8 years ago0 0 Comment Grand Am Catalytic Converter Source (s):https://shorte.im/ba KDXlanga · 1 year ago0 0 Comment You likely had some sort of yellow check engine light warnings in the past that were never fixed.

"text": "Catalytic Converter Replacement Service What is the Catalytic Converter all about? The catalytic converter is an emissions related component that is mounted in the exhaust pipe. Its purpose is to superheat unburned particles in the exhaust gases that are expelled from the engine. As the engine runs, the catalytic converter warms up to an operating temperature of 500-1200 °F. At this temperature the particles in the ‘dirty’ exhaust are burned and converted into water vapor and carbon dioxide. The catalyst inside is nearly always comprised of precious metals such as platinum, rhodium, or palladium. When the catalyst isn’t able to burn off the unburned hydrocarbons in the exhaust, an unpleasant odor can occur, a rough run or misfire may be felt, or the Check Engine light may illuminate. Keep in mind: Most cars will require the aftermarket Catalytic Converter to be welded to the exhaust pipes. Mobile mechanics can only do this service if you have a direct fit catalytic converter bought from a dealer. When replacing the catalytic converter, it may be necessary to replace oxygen sensors as well."

It is more a question if you should. The answer is you should not. You can drive the car until it brakes down completely (and it will). While doing so you will, as pointed out by other answers, run the risk of damaging the converter but you also run the risk of fire. If the coil is faulty very bad things can happen. Car fires are usually related to causes associated with fuel, electrical once a fuel part starts leaking while a car is running, a fuel drip can be the formula for fire if you get sparks from a spark plug wire or an ignition coil that is faulty."

Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed. ( September 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)An oxygen sensor (or lambda sensor) is an electronic device that measures the proportion of oxygen (O 2) in the gas or liquid being analysed. It was developed by Robert Bosch Gmb H during the late 1960s under the supervision of Dr. Günter Bauman. The original sensing element is made with a thimble-shaped zirconia ceramic coated on both the exhaust and reference sides with a thin layer of platinum and comes in both heated and unheated forms. The planar-style sensor entered the market in 1990 and significantly reduced the mass of the ceramic sensing element, as well as incorporating the heater within the ceramic structure. [ 1] This resulted in a sensor that started sooner and responded faster. The most common application is to measure the exhaust-gas concentration of oxygen for internal combustion engines in automobiles and other vehicles in order to calculate and, if required, dynamically adjust the air-fuel ratio so that catalytic converters can work optimally, and also determine whether the converter is performing properly or not. Divers also use a similar device to measure the partial pressure of oxygen in their breathing gas."

"text": "\"Encyclopedia › Exhaust and Emissions › Catalytic Converter Symptoms Symptoms of a Bad Catalytic Converter A catalytic converter is an exhaust emissions control device used in both gasoline and diesel engines. Often referred to as a \"\"cat,\"\" its job is to convert a vehicle's exhaust emissions into a less harmful gas before the exhaust exits the tailpipe. The catalytic converter is a metal canister installed in the exhaust system near the engine. It contains precious metals such as platinum, palladium and rhodium. When raw exhaust flows through it, multiple chemical reactions occur. The final product is an exhaust that's free of nitrogen oxides, carbon monoxide and hydrocarbons, three very harmful gases not only to the environment, but also to humans. Catalytic converter Signs of a bad catalytic converter An illuminated check engine light. Your car's computer receives feedback from sensors placed in the exhaust system called oxygen sensors. One sensor is placed before the catalytic converter, and is called the \"\"upstream\"\" oxygen sensor. The other is placed after the converter, and is called the \"\"downstream\"\" oxygen sensor."

It’s also only fair to tell you that 90% of the time a cat’s failure is due entirely too upstream events. By upstream we mean before the converter. Cause of Death The first and most widely cause of death is that of poisoning. As in the human body the ingestion of foreign or inappropriate fluids or fuels will poison the inner workings of the cat, which is the catalyst of the converter, the part that makes the final cleaning process of the combustion gasses work. These poisons are very available, first on the list is leaded fuel or any lead containing additive that someone convinced you will give you more horsepower or more miles the gallon. Second on this list is water or coolant, obviously everyone knows that water will not burn and should never be in your fuel tank. Ethanol Fuel But with the introduction of ethanol fuel, which can legally be from 10% to 85% many fuel tanks end up with gallons of water just due to ethanol separation. Also there are always the problems within the engine such as head gasket leaks or intake manifold leaks that allow coolant to intermingle with the fuel charge mixture. Fuel Management System The last symptom is caused by excessive long term and short term fuel trim."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Aftermarket exhaust parts are intended to replace the factory fitted exhaust components of a car, motorcycle, or other motor vehicle in order to improve the performance, visual appeal, or sound of the vehicle. Generally, performance enhancements are achieved by reducing the back pressure of the factory exhaust system. Frequently a side effect of a free-flowing exhaust system is either a \"\"different\"\" sound, a higher noise level, or both, which is desirable to some people. Aftermarket exhaust parts can also be a styling upgrade by changes to the visible parts of the exhaust like the exhaust tips. The intent of an aftermarket component is not necessarily to modify the appearance, sound, or performance of the vehicle in question. While that is almost always the goal if the aftermarket component is replacing a fully working component, it is frequently the case that when the stock or factory component has worn out that an aftermarket component is either more widely available or less expensive than a factory or OEM replacement.

[ 1] This is done by using an individual pipe for each exhaust port that has smoother bends with a larger turn radius, decreasing airflow resistance, as well as a calculated pipe diameter to obtain a good scavenging effect for the specific engine capacity. The pipes then merge into a collector and then flow into a larger pipe (down pipe), just before the catalytic converter. With equal length headers, as each exhaust valve in the head of the engine is opened and exhaust gas is forced out, it passes down one of the header pipes and through to the down pipe, where the exhaust gas velocity causes a slight vacuum in another header pipe."

Oxygen sensor failure Ruslan Kudrin/123rf The oxygen sensor (sometimes called an O2 sensor) measures the amount of unburnt oxygen in a car’s exhaust system. It sends data to the vehicle’s computer, which uses it to regulate the mixture of air and fuel that enters the cylinders. A car will keep running even if an O2 sensor needs to be replaced, but it will burn more fuel than usual. In the long run, a bad O2 sensor can damage components like the spark plugs and the catalytic converter. It may also cause a car to fail an emissions test."

The catalytic converter, because it cleans up any exhaust pollutants that exit the engine. It's a hot job (literally) that operates at temperatures of 600 to 1000 degrees F. As long as the converter does its job efficiently, the vehicle will meet emissions and pass both a tailpipe emissions check and/or an OBDII plug-in emissions test. OEM converters are engineered to last well over 150,000 miles, but a number of things can interfere with their ability to clean up the exhaust -- and some may eventually cause the converter to fail. The causes to be most concerned about include: Ignition misfire (fouled spark plug and/or shorted plug wire)Compression misfire (leaky valves or head gasket)Internal coolant leaks (cracks in head or leaky head gasket)Oil burning (worn valve guides, seals, rings, cylinders)Fuel contamination (lead)Rust or physical damage Types of CATSBefore we go any further, we need to take a quick look inside the converter to understand how it operates. Inside the stainless steel outer shell is a ceramic or metallic honeycomb coated with a very thin layer of precious metals. These include platinum, palladium and rhodium in various combinations. These metals all have the unique ability to trigger chemical reactions. They are not consumed or used up over time, but only serve to ignite reactions between the pollutants in the exhaust and oxygen. The earliest converters dating back to 1975 were \"\"two-way\"\" or \"\"oxidizing\"\" converters because the catalyst only reacted with hydrocarbons (HC) and carbon monoxide (CO) in the exhaust."

What happens when a party to a contract fails to perform its obligations which results in a breach of the contract? Often times, the parties will attempt to negotiate the situation amongst themselves. However, if the matter cannot be settled, the parties may resort to utilizing mediation, arbitration, or court action. If the parties are forced to go to court and a party is found to be in breach of contract, this may result in damages being awarded to the other party. What type of damages may be awarded by a court? Damages for Breach of Contract: Compensatory Damages: These damages assist in compensating the non-breaching party for any economic losses caused by the breach of contract. The goal of this type of damage is to place the non-breaching party in the same position they would have been in had the contract been performed. Liquidated Damages: These types of damages are awarded when there is a provision in a contract which states the amount of damages that shall be awarded in the event of a breach."

They also address issues of insurance coverage, regulation, and bad faith. Coordinating Editors William P. Godsman of the Law Office of William Godsman, Denver— (303) 455-6900, [email protected] This article discusses the basic elements of the tort of intentional interference with contractual relations, with particular emphasis on pragmatic considerations practitioners will face in litigating what constitutes improper interference. This article presents an overview of Colorado law on the tort of intentional interference with contractual relations. 1 The essence of the tort is the duty to not interfere with contracts. 2 This duty flows from the interest in maintaining the security and integrity of contractual obligations. 3 The existence of the contractual relationship gives rise to a duty to those who know about the contract to not intentionally and improperly interfere with it. 4The General Rule Although some cases refer to the tort as “intentionally inducing a breach of contract,” 5 Colorado follows the majority rule, which holds that the tort of intentional interference with contractual relations is not limited to inducing a “breach” of contract, because the tort would have no application if there were no breach. 6 The modern rule is that the action “lies, more broadly, for intentional ‘interference with the performance of a contract,’” even if the contract is terminable at will. 7No single rule states a prima facie case of improper interference, or the affirmative defense to tortious interference, the privilege of justified competition."

Damages attempt to measure in financial terms the extent of harm a plaintiff has suffered because of a defendant's actions. Damages are distinguishable from costs, which are the expenses incurred as a result of bringing a lawsuit and which the court may order the losing party to pay. Damagesalso differ from the verdict, which is the final decision issued by a jury. The purpose of damages is to restore an injured party to the position the party was in before beingharmed. As a result, damages are generally regarded as remedial rather than preventive or punitive. However, Punitive Damages may be awarded for particular types of wrongful conduct. Before an individual can recover damages, the injury suffered must be one recognized by law as warrantingredress, and must have actually been sustained by the individual. The law recognizes three major categories of damages: Compensatory Damages, which areintended to restore what a plaintiff has lost as a result of a defendant's wrongful conduct; nominaldamages, which consist of a small sum awarded to a plaintiff who has suffered no substantial loss or injury but has nevertheless experienced an invasion of rights; and punitive damages, which areawarded not to compensate a plaintiff for injury suffered but to penalize a defendant for particularlyegregious, wrongful conduct."

Equitable remedies are different than monetary damages. This lesson explains specific performance and injunctions, which are equitable remedies. Equitable Damages A breach of contract is a common type of civil claim. When a court considers a breach of contract case, the court will almost always award money damages to the innocent party.

[ 2] The defendant has the burden of proof to show the plaintiff is not acting in good faith. The doctrine is often stated as \"\"those seeking equity must do equity\"\" or \"\"equity must come with clean hands\"\". This is a matter of protocol, characterised by A. P. Herbert in Uncommon Law by his fictional Judge Mildew saying (as Herbert says, \"\"less elegantly\"\"), \"\"A dirty dog will not have justice by the court\"\". [ 3]The clean hands doctrine is used in U. S. patent law to deny equitable or legal relief to a patentee that has engaged in improper conduct, such as using the patent to extend monopoly power beyond the claims of the patent. [ 4]A defendant's unclean hands can also be claimed and proven by the plaintiff to claim other equitable remedies and to prevent that defendant from asserting equitable affirmative defenses. In other words, 'unclean hands' can be used offensively by the plaintiff as well as defensively by the defendant. Historically, the doctrine of unclean hands can be traced as far back as the Fourth Lateran Council. Relation to equitable remedies [ edit]This section does not cite any sources."

"text": "Remedies for Breach of Contract What are the Remedies for Breach of Contract? There are several remedies for breach of contract, such as award of damages , specific performance , rescission, and restitution. In courts of limited jurisdiction, the main remedy is an award of damages. Because specific performance and rescission are equitable remedies that do not fall within the jurisdiction of the magistrate courts, they are not covered in this tutorial. What Damages Can Be Awarded? There are two general categories of damages that may be awarded if a breach of contract claim is proved. They are:1. Compensatory Damages. Compensatory damages (also called “actual damages”) cover the loss the nonbreaching party incurred as a result of the breach of contract. The amount awarded is intended to make good or replace the loss caused by the breach."

The following are the most common damages for a contract claim: Compensatory Damages Liquidation Damages Punitive Damages Restitution Nominal Damages What Are Nominal Damages? Nominal damages are typically small amounts of money awarded to the plaintiff; sometimes the amount can be as low as $1. They are usually awarded for the following reasons: The plaintiff did not suffer from any real financial loss, or the economic harm cannot be calculated Because damages cannot compensate the plaintiff, nominal damages are awarded to show that the plaintiff was right in the lawsuit In What Types of Contract Claims Can Nominal Damages Be Awarded? Nominal damages, in a contracts claim, are very rare. They are rare because most breach of contract claims usually result in some form of economic loss to the non-breaching party. There are, however, a few instances where nominal damages are awarded in contracts lawsuits."

"text": "Breach and Enforcement of Separation Agreements in North Carolina What is a separation agreement? A separation agreement is a contract between a husband and wife that states the terms under which they will live apart. In North Carolina, if the agreement deals with property issues the full legal name of such a document is a “Separation Agreement and Property Settlement.” You can see a sample here. The agreement can govern issues such as spousal and child support, child custody, and the division of the couple’s property. A separation agreement can resolve all of the legal issues that would otherwise be decided by a judge. The only thing a separation agreement can’t do is grant the actual divorce. In most other states, a judge must at least approve a separation agreement at the time the divorce is granted. Not so in North Carolina. With the exceptions noted below in the discussion of defenses, the parties are free to arrange things as they see fit."

"text": "\"specific performance Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Financial, Wikipedia. Related to specific performance: Substantial performance Specific Performance An extraordinary equitable remedy that compels a party to execute a contract according to theprecise terms agreed upon or to execute it substantially so that, under the circumstances, justicewill be done between the parties. Specific performance grants the plaintiff what he actually bargained for in the contract rather thandamages (pecuniary compensation for loss or injury incurred through the unlawful conduct of another) for not receiving it; thus specific performance is an equitable rather than legal remedy. By compelling the parties to perform exactly what they had agreed to perform, more complete andperfect justice is achieved than by awarding damages for a breach of contract. Specific performance can be granted only by a court in the exercise of its Equity powers,subsequent to a determination of whether a valid contract that can be enforced exists and an evaluation of the relief sought. As a general rule, specific performance is applied in breach of contract actions where monetary damages are inadequate, primarily where the contract involvesland or a unique chattel ( Personal Property ). Damages for the breach of a contract for the sale of ordinary personal property are, in most cases, readily ascertainable and recoverable so that specificperformance will not be granted. An important advantage to this remedy is that, since it is an order of an equity court, it is supported by the enforcement power of that court. If the defendant refuses to obey that order, she can be citedfor criminal Contempt and even imprisoned. The defendant can also be cited for civil contempt forcontinuing to refuse to obey the order and can be incarcerated until she agrees to obey it."

Click here What Is Wrongful or Tortious Interference with Contracts? Wrongful or tortious interference with contracts refers to a situation in which a third-party intentionally causes a contracting party to commit a breach of contract. This may be accomplished through inducement or by disrupting a party’s ability to perform their contractual obligations. The purpose of tortious interference laws is to allow parties the freedom to contract with one another and fulfill their contractual obligations without third-party meddling. The third-party interferer, called the “tortfeasor,” is usually an individual that was not party to the contract and is interfering for his own financial gain. For this reason, the plaintiff’s remedy will be in tort law, rather than contract law. The plaintiff (the non-breaching party to the contract) will have to show that the tortfeasor acted intentionally, both with regards to his own actions and the resulting contractual breach (meaning he must have known about the contractual relationship and caused the breach anyway). This cause of action goes by many other names, including: Tortious interference with contractual rights Intentional interference with contractual relations Unlawful interference with contractual relations Interference with a contractual relationship Interference with a contract Inducement of a breach of contract Procurement of a breach of contract A related cause of action is “tortious interference with business relations ,” which does not require a valid contract to be in existence at the time of the interference.

But in the real world of business, delays happen, financial problems can crop up, and other unexpected events can occur to hinder or even prevent a successful contract from being carried out. The following is a discussion of the legal concept of \"\"breach of contract\"\" and an overview of your options should such a breach occur. What is a Breach of Contract? A business contract creates certain obligations that are to be fulfilled by the parties who entered into the agreement. Legally, one party's failure to fulfill any of its contractual obligations is known as a \"\" breach \"\" of the contract. Depending on the specifics, a breach can occur when a party fails to perform on time, does not perform in accordance with the terms of the agreement, or does not perform at all. Accordingly, a breach of contract will usually be categorized as either \"\" material \"\" or \"\" immaterial \"\" for purposes of determining the appropriate legal solution or \"\"remedy\"\" for the breach. Breach of Contract: An Example Let's assume that R. Runner contracts with Acme Anvils for the purchase of some of its products, for delivery by the following Monday evening. If Acme delivers the Anvils to Runner on the following Tuesday morning, such a breach of the contract would likely be deemed immaterial, and R. Runner would likely not be entitled to money damages (unless he could show that he was somehow damaged by the late delivery)."

"text": "Home » How can contracts be discharged from further performance? How can contracts be discharged from further performance? Tweetby The Find Law Team The law of contracts forms a substantial part of our various relationships that can have some sort of influence over us on an almost daily basis – even when there is no physical contract in front of us we may still be privy to some sort of contractual obligation. Alternatively, if you’re a fan of social theorists such as Jean-Jacques Rousseau, you may argue that we’re also bound by ‘the social contract’, but we digress. Getting back to our original point, the law of contracts plays an enormous role in many of our interactions and for the most part, there may be no real concern in regards to the performance of a contract and an agreement will be completed accordingly. However, this does not mean that issues won’t arise within a contractual relationship, and there may be circumstances where you may need to discharge a contract which can be done by either one, or all of the parties to the agreement, and can be discharged by either:performance;agreement;subsequent agreement;operation of law;election after breach;frustration. Before exploring the general ways in which a contract can be discharged, the most obvious way in which a contract will come to an end, is when all parties fulfil their contractual obligations and the contract has been discharged via performance. Easy. Exceptions to performance Some people may be of the belief that performance of a contract includes the executing of every aspect of the contract of which the parties had agreed upon, and if performance of every part of the agreement has not been fulfilled, then the contract has not been fully performed – which was essentially the position in Sumpter v Hedges [1898] 1 QB 673 in the English Court of Appeal, which was a matter where the plaintiff was contracted to erect certain buildings on the grounds of the defendant for a lump sum of 565 pounds, but the plaintiff was only able to do part of the work to a value of 333 pounds, with the defendant subsequently completing the rest of the work. As a result, the plaintiff sued on quantum meruit (as much as he or she has earned) appealing from the judgment of the trial judge who awarded the plaintiff for the value of the materials used, but nothing in respect to the work done."

"text": "What is Ozone Layer? To understand ozone layer, it would be helpful to know the different layers of the atmosphere. The earth’s atmosphere is composed of many layers, each playing a significant role. The first layer stretching approximately 10 kilometers upwards from the earth’s surface is known as the troposphere. A lot of human activities such as gas balloons, mountain climbing, and small aircraft flights take place within this region. The stratosphere is the next layer above the troposphere stretching approximately 15 to 60 kilometers. The ozone layer sits in the lower region of the stratosphere from about 20-30 kilometers above the surface of the earth. The thickness of the ozone layer is about 3 to 5 mm, but it pretty much fluctuates depending on the season and geography. Ozone layer is a deep layer in earth’s atmosphere that contain ozone which is a naturally occurring molecule containing three oxygen atoms. These ozone molecules form a gaseous layer in the Earth’s upper atmosphere called stratosphere."

Mims IIISprinkled throughout the atmosphere are pale blue molecules of a toxic gas that are essential to most life on Earth. This gas is ozone. Ozone is toxic because it is highly reactive. This is why it can sterilize drinking water, eliminate odors, bleach colors, and decompose rubber. Fortunately, the amount of ozone at ground level is usually too low for these effects to be observed. However, high concentrations of various air pollutants and sunlight can increase ozone levels near the ground from a few tens of molecules per billion molecules of air (ppb) to a few hundred ppb. These levels of ozone can damage plants, cause eye irritation, inflame mucous membranes and impair the performance of athletes. Ozone is essential to life because it shields the Earth from the damaging, even lethal, ultraviolet radiation emitted by the sun. This filtering ability is particularly remarkable when you consider the relative scarcity of ozone molecules."

A: Quick Answer One of the greatest and most dangerous effects of pollution on the ozone layer is that it creates holes in the atmosphere, which allow powerful ultraviolet rays from the sun to reach the Earth’s surface. Many varieties of atmospheric pollutants — toxic chemicals, synthetic substances, such as DDT, and manmade chemicals — enter the atmosphere.

The ozone layer prevents ultraviolet radiations of the sun from coming on the earth. This article describes the process of damaging effects of CFCs. What are CFCs? Chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) have been used extensively in last five or six decades as refrigerants in the vapor compression cycle to produce refrigerating and air-conditioning effects. In recent years it has been found that CFCs are most destructive to the environment. It has been proved that CFCs are a major cause of depletion of the earth’s stratospheric ozone layer and contribute to the greenhouse effect (global warming). Presently large quantities of CFCs are being used as refrigerants in a number of refrigerating and air-conditioning systems. Though the refrigerant moves in a closed cycle, there are lots of leakages that escape to the atmosphere and cause destruction of the ozone layer. The most shocking fact about CFCs is that they have exceptionally long atmospheric life which, in certain cases, even extends to 100 years."

One of the most important types of damaging radiation is ultra violet radiation from the Sun. The part of the atmosphere that filters out a lot of the ultra violet radiation is called the ozone layer – a region of the atmosphere between about 15 and 40 km above the Earth's surface. The ultra violet radiation from the Sun is divided into three regions depending on the wavelength of the radiation. These are known as UVA, UVB and UVC. Some of the properties of these three types are decribed below. UVA (a) UVA accounts for about 90% of the ultra violet radiation reaching the Earth's surface (b) it has a wavelength range from 320 nm to 400 nm (c) about 5% of the Sun's radiation is UVA (d) it can pass through ordinary window glass (e) the intensity of UVA radiation reaching the Earth's surface does not change with altitude, weather conditions or the time of year (f) UVA can penetrate deep into the skin affecting underlying tissues (g) prolonged exposure to UVA can cause long term skin damage.

"text": "Navigate The Ozone Layer Introduction The ozone layer is a layer of ozone particles scattered between 19 and 30 kilometres (12 to 30 miles) up in the Earth's atmosphere, in a region called the stratosphere. The concentration of ozone in the ozone layer is usually under 10 parts ozone per million. Without the ozone layer, UV radiation would not be stopped from entering the Earth's atmosphere and arriving at the surface, causing untold damage to most living species. In the 1970s, scientists discovered that chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) could destroy ozone in the stratosphere. Since CFCs had been in use as refrigerants, coolants, and propellants for aerosol cans since the 1930s, this posed a major problem. The Formation of Stratospheric Ozone Ozone is created in the stratosphere when highly energetic solar radiation strikes molecules of oxygen (O 2) and cause the two oxygen atoms to split apart. If a freed atom bumps into another O 2, it joins up, forming ozone (O 3 ). This process is known as photolysis. Ozone is also naturally broken down in the stratosphere by sunlight and by a chemical reaction with various compounds containing nitrogen, hydrogen and chlorine. These chemicals all occur naturally in the atmosphere in very small amounts."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Earth Sciences & Geology What is the difference between the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect? ? 2 following 9 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Damage to the ozone layer and the greenhouse effect are both caused by different things, and have different results. The greenhouse effect is caused by a build up of gases (notably carbon dioxide and methane, among others) in the atmosphere that prevent heat radiating from the planet's surface out into space. This means that gradually more heat is retained by the atmosphere, leading to global warming. The ozone layer is damaged by gases such as Chloroflurocarbons (CFC's) which thins the ozone layer, or causes it to disappear completely in places (over the poles, generally). The ozone layer prevents harmful ultra violet light from penetrating the atmosphere, so without it exposure to the sun leads to an increased risk of skin cancer, sunburn, etc. Mickey T · 9 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating Ozone Layer And Greenhouse Effect Source (s):https://shorte.im/bav O0gregoreski · 1 year ago0 0 Comment The ozone layer protects us from some of the sun's harmful ultraviolet radiation by absorbing some of the UVB rays. The greenhouse effect: (1) The sun heats the ground. ( 2) The ground radiates the heat back, but at lower wavelength. ( 3) Gases in the atmosphere such as carbon dioxide and methane prevent this heat from escaping into space. ("

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Ozone-oxygen cycle in the ozone layer. The ozone layer or ozone shield is a region of Earth 's stratosphere that absorbs most of the Sun 's ultraviolet (UV) radiation. It contains high concentrations of ozone (O 3) in relation to other parts of the atmosphere, although still small in relation to other gases in the stratosphere. The ozone layer contains less than 10 parts per million of ozone, while the average ozone concentration in Earth's atmosphere as a whole is about 0.3 parts per million. The ozone layer is mainly found in the lower portion of the stratosphere, from approximately 20 to 30 kilometres (12 to 19 mi) above Earth, although its thickness varies seasonally and geographically. [ 1]The ozone layer was discovered in 1913 by the French physicists Charles Fabry and Henri Buisson. Measurements of the sun showed that the radiation sent out from its surface and reaching the ground on Earth is usually consistent with the spectrum of a black body with a temperature in the range of 5,500–6,000 K (5,227 to 5,727 °C), except that there was no radiation below a wavelength of about 310 nm at the ultraviolet end of the spectrum. It was deduced that the missing radiation was being absorbed by something in the atmosphere. Eventually the spectrum of the missing radiation was matched to only one known chemical, ozone. [ 2] Its properties were explored in detail by the British meteorologist G. M. B. Dobson, who developed a simple spectrophotometer (the Dobsonmeter) that could be used to measure stratospheric ozone from the ground."

"text": "\"Ask The Scientist Frequently Asked Questions What is ozone, and why is it important? Ozone is simply a molecule consisting of 3 oxygen atoms, which reacts strongly with other molecules. Ozone is created in the stratosphere when high energy uv radiation causes on O 2 molecule to split. The free oxygen atoms collide and react with other O2molecules to form O3. Production is highest where the solar uv is the greatest eg near the tropics, but once created, the ozone is then circulated towards the poles by the atmosphere. The amount of ozone in the stratosphere can vary with location, season and even day to day climatic conditions. The process of ozone creation is what makes the O 3 in the atmosphere very effective at shielding the Earth from harmful uv radiation, which can cause many biological problems, such as skin cancer. However, due to its high reactivity, the uv found in the tropospher at ground level can aslo be dangerous as a toxic pollutant which is harmful to plants and lung tissue, and is a major cause of smog. When was the ozone hole discovered? The discovery of the annual depletion of ozone above the Antarctic was first announced in a paper by Joe Farman, Brian Gardiner and Jonathan Shanklin which appeared in Nature in May 1985."

UV-B would otherwise damage the DNA of all DNA-based life on / near Earth's surface. ozone is the chemical in our atmoshere that traps heat from the sun. It acts as a greenhouse, sunlight can come in but it can't go out. Ozone protects Earth by keeping it warm. Ozone is a protectant in the upper atmospere but if found in the lower atmoshere where we live, it is poisonous. Global Warming is caused by having to much ozone in the atmoshere. So in some ways ozone protects Earth by keeping it warm, but it could be a danger to Earth by keeping it too warm.17 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

"text": "Ozone Depletion In the previous sections, we have seen that everything the Bible describes as being a characteristic of the Great Tribulation also correlates precisely to what is now expected to occur as a result of a global nuclear war. Even with this incredible correlation of prophecy with the known effects of nuclear weapons, there is one particular verse that on the surface may seem to contradict the verses that describe a period of darkness descending upon the Earth at that time (see Radioactive Fallout and Clouds of Dust ). As a result of recent scientific research, however, this apparent inconsistency can now be fully understood. In Revelation chapter 16, the Apostle John prophesies about the events that will accompany the out-pouring of the seven Bowls of Wrath, which are predicted to occur just prior to the Return of Christ. Many of these predictions accurately describe a number of thermonuclear effects such as radiation sickness and darkness. However, in almost the same breath that the Lord shows John a vision of darkness he also says this:“And the fourth angel poured out his bowl upon the sun, and power was given unto him to scorch men with fire. “And men were scorched with great heat, and blasphemed the name of God, who hath power over these plagues; and they repented not to give him glory. ”Rev. 16:8-9How is it that the Bible in one place can describe the sun as scorching men with great heat and in almost the same breath predict thick clouds of darkness obscuring its light? Since the sun is on average about 90 million miles away from the Earth and the total quantity of heat reaching us is relatively constant at that distance, it seems unlikely that the Lord is saying that our planet will somehow move closer to the sun or that the sun will grow considerably hotter."

"text": "\"Science & Mathematics Astronomy & Space What protects us from harmful radiation of the sun ? is it atmosphere? ozone layer?or earth's magnetic field which is produced by the rotation of the earth's inner core? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: The ozone layer, which is part of the atmosphere, filters out a lot of the dangerous ultraviolet. The magnetic field protects us from high energy charged particles, which come from the sun during solar storms, and otherwise come from all directions in space (so-called \"\"cosmic rays\"\"). We mostly see the effects of those in the Northern Lights and Southern Lights, which occur high up in the atmosphere at the poles. The atmosphere also filters out a lot of other frequencies of electromagnetic radiation, X-rays, for instance. There aren't a lot of those from the sun, but what X-rays there are, are pretty much stopped in the upper atmosphere. Randy P · 8 years ago1 0 Comment Asker's rating About 90% of the ozone in the Earth's atmosphere is found in the region called the stratosphere. This is the atmospheric layer between 16 and 48 kilometers (10 and 30 miles) above the Earth's surface."

Oxygen is essential to life because it allows us to breathe. Some of the oxygen has changed over time to ozone. The the ozone layer filters out the sun's harmful rays. Recently, there have been many studies on how humans have caused a hole in the ozone layer. Humans are also affecting Earth's atmosphere through the greenhouse effect.

"text": "\"What is Swing Dancing? Swing dancing is a dance style, or a group of dances, originating from Harlem, New York with Afro-American Roots. The feeling of the dance is \"\"swinging\"\", as it developed to the swing style of jazz music from the 1920s to the 1940s or 50s. The most known swing dance is the lindy hop that is danced today around the whole world. Developing from dances called breakaway and Charleston, swing dancing has not only that \"\"swinging\"\" feeling but lots of space for improvisation between partners. Swing dancing is danced socially, not just in competitions, which makes it interactive, fun and a great time as you get to meet and dance with lots of different people and have fun outside lessons too. Below you can find information on the various styles of swing dance. At EUSDS we offer lindy hop and balboa regularly, with some collegiate shag and authentic solo jazz sprinkled in too!Lindy Hop The swing dance to rule them all was invented in New York and developed out of the Charleston. It has a relaxed athletic stance, plenty of opportunity for both partners to improvise and lots of fun moves. It can be slow and playful or blazingly fast with spectacular acrobatics ('air steps' or 'aerials'), and everything in between."

"text": "\"April 2, 2010It's hard to define blues. On a literal angle, it's the dance you do to blues music, generally involving lots of improvisation, closeness, and hip movements. While swing and blues have basics, frames, and moves... blues doesn't. There are gentle suggestions of what might work, but in the end of the day, you make the rules. To me, blues feels like the ultimate partner dance. Anything that isn't you and your partner is burned away. Matt and Caitlin dancing. All photos courtesy of the excellent Fenna Blue. That said, a lot of my information has been recently gleaned. Until this year, most of my blues information involved Jake and Elwood Blues."

When I was 10, I snuck into my first R-rated movie and caught my first glimpse of Cab Calloway. Mind you, I'd heard him numerous times, as my folks had \"\"Minnie the Moocher\"\" on a 45. But much like the young audience who flocked to \"\" The Blues Brothers \"\" in 1980, I'd never actually seen him before. Until his musical number, Calloway looked like a nice old man. But once the strains of \"\"Minnie the Moocher\"\" started playing, he became something astonishing. He was hypnotic, dressed to the nines, with dreamlike movements and straight hair he shook like no Black person I knew. He was delivered to me the size Cab Calloway should always be delivered: On a big movie screen. I was in awe. 31 years later, I attended a midnight screening of \"\"The Blues Brothers\"\" at the IFC Center in New York City."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of the United States African-American History How did jazz develop? Flag How did jazz develop? Answer by DJ Craig Confidence votes 479Jazz is a musical art form originally developed by African Americans from around the turn of the 20th century. It is characterized by blue notes, syncopation, swing, call and response, polyrhythms, and improvisation sometimes in jam sessions. As the first original art form to emerge from the United States of America, jazz has been described as \"\"America's Classical Music\"\". Jazz has roots in the cultural and musical expression of West Africa and the western Sahel, and in African American music traditions, including blues and ragtime, as well as European military band music. After originating in African American communities near the beginning of the 20th century, jazz gained international popularity by the 1920s. Since then, jazz has had a profoundly pervasive influence on other musical styles worldwide. Today, various jazz styles continue to evolve. Jazz originated from African Americans."

Like many other countries in the South American continent, Republic of Bolivia boasts of a rich cultural history and heritage. One can get a glimpse of Bolivia’s unique cultural traditions and customs in various events and celebrations organized throughout the country during the festival season. Republic of Bolivia was once under the rule of the Spanish empire. As a result, many of the customs and traditions followed by people in this country are a mixture of ancestral traditions and Spanish cultural elements. Religious festivals and pagan rites that were once common during the Incan period or the pre-Columbian era are still followed and celebrated in many parts of Bolivia. Also celebrated are festivals that are linked to the celebration of Christian deities, especially the Virgin Mary. Popular among these include the Summer Solstice and the Carnival Festival of Oruro. The Alasitas Fair in La Paz is held in January every year in the honor of Ekeko, an Aymara God. Another important festival is the one celebrated in the honor of Lord Jesus Christ during the month of May. November 1 is celebrated in Bolivia as All Saints Day."

"text": "\"Native Americans Native Americans (also Aboriginal Peoples, Aboriginal Americans, American Indians, Amerindians, Amerind, Indians, First Nations, First Peoples, Native Canadians, or Indigenous Peoples of America) are those peoples indigenous to the Americas, living there prior to European colonization. This term encompasses a large number of distinct tribes, states, and ethnic groups, many of them still enduring as political communities. The terms \"\"Amerindian\"\" and \"\"Indian\"\", both of which are derivatives of \"\"American Indian\"\" (as is \"\"Amerind\"\", though this term is more popular in linguistic circles), are not necessarily completely synonymous with \"\"Native American\"\". Although all Amerindians are Native Americans, not all Native Americans are Amerindians. \"\" Amerindian\"\" relates to a mega-group of people spanning the Americas that are related in culture and genetics, and are quite distinct from the later arriving Eskimos (Inuit, Yupik, and Aleut peoples native to Alaska and arctic Canada). The latter share their cultural and genetic commonality with other arctic peoples not native to the American continent, such as those from arctic Russian Siberia. The same distinction is made in Canada, where the term First Nations applies only to Native Canadians who belong to the same cultural and genetic mega-group of Amerindians mentioned above. The Canadian First Nations specifically exclude the Inuit and Inuvialuit in the north, although these are included in the terms \"\"First Peoples\"\" and \"\"Native Canadians\"\". First Peoples are enshrined in the Canadian Constitution with various treaty rights, some long established and many more currently under negotiation. The term Native American may be construed to either include or exclude the Metis of Canada and the Mestizos and Zambos of Latin America."

It is celebrated generally between Halloween, Oct. 31 through Nov. 2, and coincides with the Catholic holy days of All Saints (Nov. 1) and All Souls (Nov. 2). Day of the Dead is actually divided into two distinct holidays, the first being Dide los Inocentes, which is dedicated to children on Nov. 1, and Dide los Muertos on Nov. 2, which is the actual Day of the Dead. Both days taken together are collectively referred to as the Day of the Dead, and celebrations can begin as early as Halloween (Oct. 31). In recent years, the tradition has spread into North America, particularly into communities with large Mexican and Latin American populations. The holiday blends with celebrations across several nations and cultures and draws upon traditions found in other cultures, however the holiday is largely a Mexican development. Families often come together over this period and preparations can be made during the entire year leading up to the Day of the Dead. This is a solemn occasion, with few actual festivities. Instead, people visit and repair graves of their dearly departed. It is common to light candles, leave offerings of prepared foods, often a favorite meal, and to pray and play music."

Its moves and music are seductive and passionate. Easily recognized by the close embrace between dance partners and its quick decisive movements, Argentina lays claim to inventing the world-famous dance. Tango took its first steps by the Rio de la Plata, the river that separates Argentina from Uruguay. It spread to the working-class port communities of the city until it caught on in dance halls. It was the first couple dance that called for improvisation. In 1912, Paris fell in love with the dance, marking the beginning of its rise to international fame. While the tango is now one of the most popular dances in the world, it started out as a risqué improvisation in the brothels of Buenos Aires."

Unlike traditional deserts, which have sand in abundance, the Salar de Uyuni features vast expanses of glistening white salt. The landscape is entirely flat, bar a few small ‘islands’ such as Isla Incahuasi, which only accentuates its surreal beauty. Underneath the cemented salt are large reservoirs of lithium-rich brine. In fact, approximately 70% of the world’s lithium reserves are found in Salar de Uyuni and thus it’s not surprising that there’s an entire industry devoted to its extraction. Unlike any other place on earth, the Salar de Uyuni is breathtakingly beautiful and provides an extraordinary experience that will not be quickly forgotten. Save The formation of Salar de Uyuni Containing an estimated 10 billion tonnes of salt, the question often arises as to how Salar de Uyuni was formed. Essentially, the Altiplano (high plateau) here had no drainage outlets, which meant that water from the surrounding mountains once collated to form a giant lake. High salinity meant that whilst this vast, prehistoric lake has long since evaporated under the fierce Andean sun, a thick crust of salt remains, forming what we now recognise as the salt flats of Salar de Uyuni."

Because most of the country is situated at a high elevation, temperatures vary from hot and humid during the day to freezing cold at night. The solar rays in the highlands are fierce and in the lower regions, the rain can be relentless. Whilst Bolivia is a beautiful place to travel at any time of year, there are pros and cons to traveling in the different seasons.

Regional Characteristics Weather in Bolivia When To Go to Bolivia Best Time To Visit Salar de Uyuni Packing For the Different Seasons Regional Characteristics Differences in topography and climate separate Bolivia’s lowlands and highlands into distinct areas.

In its variety lies its richness and its colorfulness. Latin American nations like Bolivia, Ecuador, Peru, Guatemala and Paraguay are heavily influenced by the ancient pre-Columbian cultures. Throughout Latin America one can notice a distinct influence of European culture as well, because of its history of remaining under the colonial rule of Spain, Portugal and France. The immigrants who came and settled from Germany, Italy and East European countries have also influenced the cultures of Latin American countries like Brazil, Argentina, Venezuela and Chile. Influence of the native African culture can be clearly noticed in the Latin American music and dance forms, and also in some religious and traditional rituals. LANGUAGE: Spanish is the most commonly used language in many Latin American countries. Portuguese is the main language of Brazil, and even French is spoken in some small parts of the sub-continent. RELIGION: The mainstream religion that is popular all through Latin America is the Catholic Christian religion. Other minor religions in practice are Protestant Christianity, Pentecostal, Evangelical, Mormons, Buddhism, Judaism, Islam and Hinduism."

"text": "Contents1 Introduction2 Where Did Original Quechua Come From?3 History and Geography of Quechua4 The Social Position of Quechua5 References Introduction Quechua boy smiling at the camera Firstly, Quechua is far from restricted to one country: it is used in seven, though significant only in three, where it is spoken by around a quarter of the population in each: Ecuador, Bolivia and Peru. Secondly, I say Andean not only to indicate the countries, but also the terrain. Wherever its origin lies, and whatever its original pre-Conquest coverage, it is now very predominantly a highland Andean language. It does have some outposts low down in the Amazon basin (in Colombia, Ecuador, northern Peru and Bolivia), though most of these are due to fairly recent migration of Quechua-speakers from the Andes, and generally date from recent decades or at most centuries, after the Spanish conquest. Where Did Original Quechua Come From? We have seen, then, how by comparing even modern regional varieties of a language, and with a lot of detailed study and experience, it is possible for linguists to work out the main stages of expansion of a language family. This also helps us towards the final question: where in the Andes did Original Quechua start out from? Many people instinctively think of Cuzco, because it was the origin of the Inca Empire. But the origin of an Empire is not necessarily the ultimate origin of a language family. In fact we already know that the Inca Empire was relatively late, it really expanded only in the 1400s, and we also know that Quechua expansion began probably a thousand years before then."

It is generally claimed that by the end of the sixteenth century, Martín del Barco Centenera first used the current name of the country in the poem \"\"Argentina y Conquista del Desierto.\"\" The name derives from the Latin word for silver, the metal the Spanish thought they would find in this land. What constitutes Argentina's national culture is a politically loaded debate. Some nationalist and populist sectors see only the gaucho tradition as the defining element of Argentine culture. Only male models enter into these interpretations. The gauchos were horsemen who tended cattle in the central plains region of Argentina. These men were mestizos , the product of colonial hybridization who were the offspring of Europeans (mainly Spanish), and indigenous peoples. Ultra-nationalist versions of this culture stress the arabic origins of gaucho culture, claiming that arabic traits were brought by the Spanish who had been profoundly transformed by centuries of Muslim occupation. Nationalist versions also often acknowledge the contributions of indigenous peoples to the national culture."

"text": "Bolivian Wedding 101Posted on January 3, 2013 by Sarah Last Saturday, one of my dear Bolivian friends got married and I had the joy of spending the day in those celebrations. Zulma had asked me, one of her remaining single friends, to be the madrina* of her bridal bouquet. Delighted to be asked, I readily accepted, but turns out it was a little more complicated than I’d anticipated. I soon discovered I was supposed to procure not only her bouquet but also a simpler substitute for the toss-and-catch bit at the party, and a boutonnière for the groom. This last part was what got confusing, and started my crash course in La Paz weddings. On Friday I checked in with Zulma over the phone to make sure I understood everything, and what I heard her say was, yes: “necesitas buscar la flor de azahar para el novio.” Which would translate as “You need to get the citrus blossoms for the groom.” This seemed to make sense to me, since some ancient memory of Federico García Lorca’s Bodas de sangre from Spanish lit class taught me to associate azahar with weddings. The only problem was that the florists had been offering roses, and when I asked about azahar they only seemed confused. I went ahead and ordered the package deal from one shop, but took a bus up to the popular market area around Max Paredes Street and did some more hunting."

If you live in a medical marijuana state, you’ve most likely seen the Dab-evolution occur before your eyes. A couple years ago, cannabis concentrates or BHO (Butane Hash Oil) were few and far between on dispensary menus. Now, some dispensaries carry more varieties of concentrates than actual flowers. Since concentrates are a moderately novel development, not much has been written about them. Where, when, and who invented the “Dab” is a bit of a mystery that I decided to explore. Along with how it has assimilated itself as a sub-cultural phenomenon of sorts in such a quick time. Precursor: What is a “Dab”A “Dab” is really an active noun. “ Do you want a dab?” or “Let’s dab” are two of the more common phrases you’ll hear uttered by those who dab."

"text": "Back with more cannabis 101. Today we provide some information on this alternative way to smoke weed, and try to answer the question…What Are Dabs? So, What Are Dabs? By definition dabs is the slang term for smoking BHO (Butane Hash Oil) usually through an oil rig or bong using a hash nail. [ 64] The Wire describes the process as:a piece of metal resembling a large nail is held at the end of a curved glass pipe then heated until glowing with a lighter or kitchen torch; a small ‘dab’ of the thick hash oil (greasy and thicker than cold honey) is placed on the end of a thin glass rod and then touched to the hot nail. The smoker inhales the instantly vaporized concentrate through the glass pipe — and gets seriously stoned. Image Source: Weed Porn Daily Image Source: Weed Porn Daily What is BHO? BHO, or Butane Hash Oil is created when high quality marijuana is heated with butane, which then extracts the cannabinoids from the marijuana. This creates a wax like concentrated substance that yields a reading of up to 70 to 90% THC. [ 65] In relation to standard marijuana, the average THC level of around 13% according to CNN (25% in the more potent strains). ["

"text": "What Are Dabs And How Do You Use Them?by Roxanne Hendrikse 1 month ago in Education Dabs are becoming the preferred way to smoke marijuana for cannabis enthusiasts that are looking for a super concentrated experience. They also give people immediate relief from chronic pain, nausea, and insomnia. Whether you’re looking to add more flavor to your life or you need some potent medicine, getting yourself a dab set up may be the best investment you’ve made in a long time. You may be asking, what are dabs? Well, just keep reading…So what are dabs, exactly? Dabs refer to the hash oil that is extracted from the cannabis plant which contains high concentrations of cannabinoids like THC and CBD. Professionals in the industry called Concentrate Extractors may use solvents that contain butane and propane in the extraction process but some just use a high heat press which creates a solventless “rosin”. The types of hash oil that people can “vaporize” go by the names wax, shatter, sugar, terp sauce, live resin, solventless rosin, and distillate. Some companies claim their oil is “pure” and in fact solventless by using a C02 extraction process which allows the oil to retain super high amounts of THC but with no C02 residue. Dabbers and dispensaries now refer to regular weed as flower, which can range from 5% to more than 30% THC content."

"text": "What is the 'Dab' dance and why are sport stars dabbing when they celebrate? The dab – a dance craze that is spreading through professional sports across the globe Sean Gibson13 January 2017 • 9:34am J esse Lingard properly brought the 'dab' dance craze to the British public consciousness when he scored in Manchester United's 3-3 draw with Newcastle last January. He's certainly not the first sports star to celebrate with the dance move, as his now-teammate Paul Pogba had already popularised the dab in Serie A with Juventus. Perhaps unsurprisingly the dab is an import from the United States, where it first emerged in their professional sports in the autumn having originated on the hip hop music scene. Now children everywhere are dabbing - including Cristiano Ronaldo's son, as he congratulated his dad on winning a fourth career Ballon d'Or award.

Vaping is a prime example, but a phenomenon called dabbing (checking out our dabbing guide) is quickly picking up steam too. In fact, dabbing and vaping are closely related; dabbing more specifically refers to inhaling the vapor that’s produced by heating up herb concentrates. If you’ve tried dabbing and enjoyed it and home or in the outdoors, perhaps you’re ready to invest in a dab rig of your own. Like many newbies, though, you’re probably a little intimidated by the sheer variety of dab rigs that are available. With terms like “nails,” “domes” and “reburn” being bandied about, you may feel like a fish out of water. To get your dabbing experience off to the best possible start, it pays to investigate a wide array of dab rigs. First, though, you should familiarize yourself with how dab rigs are designed, how they work and the various options that are available. Like anything else, there are simple, low-end dab rigs, mid-level dab rigs and high-end dab rigs with tons of extra features and the finest materials. By educating yourself with this handy guide, you’ll be able to make the most informed decision while looking for dab rigs."

"text": "Home Timeless What Is Azonto? – Dance, Music, Songs, Meaning Timeless What Is Azonto? – Dance, Music, Songs, Meaning By Emeka Chigozie Dancing, as an art form, has always been expressive. And the West African dance craze “Azonto” certainly communicates a message — although in a more direct way than other dances do. What is Azonto? Azonto is the popular dance for a Ghanaian and West African fast-beat music genre. It sometimes can be used as a rude reference to wayward girls. Azonto music and dance became more popular in mid-2011 when it became Ghana’s first dance moves to have appealed to a lot of international taste. Basically, the dance moves involve mostly hand gesturing with the aim to pass across a message. Finding its roots in the coastal areas of Ghana, Azonto dance has gained for itself a considerable amount of attention."

I've a dormer window which is a 1/2\"\" ply clad stud frame, I wrapped it with tyvek then vertically battened it with 1x2\"\" roofing battens. I then re-wrapped it in tyvek (stops battens rotting and prevents render pushing through, also had lots of scraps left over from reroofing) and used galv staples to fix the mesh to the battens. Applying the first coat (3:1 sand:cement with Rendamix) was a nightmare, pushing the render on too hard just pushed it through the mesh (tyvek didn't stop it enough)."

From the Mac Gyver's of the world who try to get a puff off homemade easy to use smoking devices to those looking to be more stealthy, discreet or healthy. Well with vape pens, all those go down the drain and up comes a magical electronic unit that makes life easier. Wax vaporizers or sometimes commonly referred to as dab pens are portable vaporizers that are specifically used for wax or concentrates. The difference between a dab rig and a dab pen is where you would need to lug around a torch with the dab rig and worry about it since its glass, with the vape you won't have a care in the world, except for wondering which pocket you should put it in. Concentrate vape pens can come in two different kinds of vapes. The first one are considered triple use, dual use or multi-use vaporizers. They generally come with different atomizers which let you use different material."

Meme Status Confirmed Year2015Origin Instagram Tagsdance, hip hop, dabbing, the dab, athlete, celebration, atlanta, sports About The Dab or Dabbing, not to be confused with the recreational use of hash oil that goes by the same name, is a style of hip hop dance that involves dropping one’s head with one arm raised and resting the face inside the elbow of the other arm, which essentially resembles the gesture of a polite attempt at muffling a loud sneeze. Originating from the hip hop scene in Atlanta, Georgia, the dance became mainstream popular after numerous professional football players adopted it as a celebratory gesture during games in August 2015. Origin While “The Dab” trend is generally believed to have originated from Atlanta, Georgia’s hip-hop scene sometime during the first half of 2015 [1], the question of who invented the dance move remains in dispute among several Atlanta-based hip hop artists and collectives, many of whom are affiliated with the record label Quality Control Music, including Migos, OG Maco, Skippa Da Flippa and Rich The Kid. According to Migos’ member Quavo, the dance has been gaining traction in Atlanta’s local hip-hop scene since as early as 2013, although it didn’t reach the tipping point on Internet hip hop communities until the local rappers began releasing songs and music videos that either feature the dance or lyrical references to The Dab during the summer of 2015, most notably Skippa Da Flippa’s “How Fast Can You Count It\"\" and Migos’ “Look at My Dab” (shown below). Etymology The name of the dance itself its etymology has also come under dispute; In November 2015, a local FOX affiliate news station in South Carolina mistakenly reported that “The Dab” was named after Clemson University’s head football coach Dabo Swinney, which was quickly pointed out as an erroneous report by the readers, while many others jumped to the misassumption that “The Dab” is a reference to the act of “dabbing,” [2] a homonymous slang term for an unrelated emerging trend of smoking high-concentrate hash oil. In December 2015, the latter misinterpretation was most infamously put forth by rapper Bow Wow in a Facebook video, which similarly prompted online backlash and ridicule from others looped in the online hip hop communities. Meanwhile, Quavo of Migos further added to the confusion by stating that the dance wasn’t even called “dabbing” during its onset:“It wasn’t even called dab."

Deserts generally receive less than 40cm (16in) of rain a year. Around one third of the Earth's surface is covered in deserts. The original meaning of the word desert is 'an abandoned place'. Many of the ice free regions of the Arctic and Antarctic are known as polar deserts. Only around 20% of the deserts on Earth are covered in sand. Areas covered in ice or snow can sometimes be called 'cold deserts', compared to 'hot deserts' in warmer areas. The largest cold desert on Earth is Antarctica.

The scarce amount of vegetation is seen due to less amount or lack of rainfall (annual rainfall in deserts is 25cms or even less). In order to adjust to these conditions, the vegetation or plants in deserts have undergone certain changes over a period of thousands of years. Vegetation Found in Desert Limited types of plants are found in desert due to the lack of favorable conditions and resources. It comprises plants that have modified or undergone adaptations in order to survive in the desert. These plants are known as xerophytes. The following are the vegetation adaptations found in deserts all over the world: These plants are usually smaller in order to prevent water loss from surfaces. They have smaller or no leaves, but, instead have thorns. The leaves of some plants are fleshy as they contain aqueous tissue."

Only the Sahara is bigger than the Gobi among the world’s deserts. The Gobi separates the Republic of Mongolia from the province of Inner Mongolia in the People’s Republic of China (PRC). In Mongolia, the Gobi occupies all the southern districts (aimak) of the country: eastern Gobi, central Gobi, southern Gobi, Baian Khongor, and Gobi Altai. In China, the Gobi Desert extends from Manchuria to Gansu and Xinjiang. It consists of several plateaus: Hulun Buir, Xilin Gol, and Ulanqab in the east and the Alashan plateau in the west of Inner Mongolia. The Yinshan Mountains and the Hexi corridor form the southern edge of the Gobi Desert. Athough vast, the Gobi peneplain is neither the driest nor the warmest desert in western China. The Siberian high-pressure system keeps the Gobi dry and very cold in winter; in summer, the monsoon winds bring a few inches of precipitation to the region. The meager vegetation and the brief growing season account for the barren appearance of the Gobi."

Some animals can live in hot deserts and also in cold deserts, but some have specially adapted to living in the very low temperatures of cold deserts. There are quite a number of animals that live in the Gobi, Great Basin, and Atacama deserts. They have developed special adaptations to withstand the cold temperatures, like the presence of very thick fur and the inability to sweat. But mammals are more likely to appear in cold deserts than reptiles. With coats of fur and warm blood (meaning that they can maintain a stable internal temperature even when the ambient atmospheric temperature dips), mammals are well-adapted to deal with freezing winters. However, some lizards and snakes do make their homes in certain cold deserts. In the Gobi, there live bactrian camels, gazelles, golden eagles, gerbils, jerboas, lizards, wolves, and even the elusive snow leopard. The smallest animal species living in the Gobi is known as the jerboa. These small rodents are built almost like kangaroos, with powerful hind legs allowing them to leap as much as 10 feet at a time."

It stretches nearly 1,000 miles east and west and nearly 5,000 miles north and south across large parts of Mongolia and China. In total, it covers 500,000 square miles. Less than 8 inches of rain fall in the entire desert every year. The Gobi is very dry, but it is also very cold. It is nearly 3,000 feet above sea level, and so itstemperatures are very low at times. It can be quite hot or quite cold, often in the same day. Winter days can be filled with snowstorms andicy sandstorms. Average low temperatures are -40 degrees Fahrenheit. Average highs are 113 degrees Fahrenheit."

The word \"\"Gobi\"\" itself means “very large and dry” in the Mongolian language. Rocky outcrops and barren gravel plains constitute the landscape of the Gobi Desert. The summer temperatures of the desert rise as high as 40°C and winters might experience temperature falls as low as -40°C (-40°F). The Gobi Desert area was once home to dinosaurs and now hosts several dinosaur fossil sites of great value to paleontologists. However, although the Gobi Desert is the largest desert in Asia, occupying an area of 1,300,000 square km, and has a harsh climate, it still hosts a significant diversity of species. The animals currently inhabiting the Gobi Desert are well-adapted to survive in the extreme desert climate."

"text": "Gobi Desert The Gobi desert in central China has expanded by about 25,000 square miles since 1994 and its sands are now within 160 kilometres (100 miles) of the capital city, Beijing. The capital gets blasted by about half a million tons of sand every year, often reducing visibility to the point where even its soaring skyscrapers are barely visible, air traffic stops and people are forced to stay indoors. China is among the countries worst affected by the global problem of desertification. Its 1.3 billion people survive on just one quarter of the worldwide per capita average of arable land and fresh water resources. Despite mass tree-planting campaigns to build a “Green Great Wall”, the sandy areas already smother 27 per cent of China’s landmass, and are expanding by more than 2,460 square kilometres every year. A recent U. S. Embassy report titled “Desert Mergers and Acquisitions” says satellite images show two deserts in north-central China expanding and merging to form a single, larger desert overlapping Inner Mongolia and Gansu provinces. To the west in Xinjiang Province, two even larger areas – the Taklimakan and Kumtag – are also heading for a merger. Highways there are regularly inundated by sand dunes. Sadly, the Sahara and Aral Sea are other examples of dry regions undergoing desertification."

This kind of landscape is a result of a scarce precipitation & deficient water levels due to severe (either warm or cold) temperatures pertaining to the regions. Deserts cover nearly one-third of the total arid or semi-barren land of the world. The low precipitation levels, as less as 250 mm yearly result in the consequent barren & uncultivated soils, making it too much impossible for the existence of life as water is one of the essentials for life. The harsh climatic conditions conclude the higher uninhabited rates in those regions of the world. They are the most prohibited areas for the life in general (Flora, fauna) and particularly for humans on the planet yet some folks make it to survive there. The story also reflects another opposite side as well, Desert are the manifestations of nature maintaining the Eco-balance in the world. These infertile & unproductive lands are the key to the survival of the planet & thus our survival. Many of the world’s historical land routes were fabricated & sketched following the trade in between those sceneries & domains of the world. The continuous exposure of sunlight (particularly in non-polar &subtropical deserts) may be utilized as the great source of the cheap solar energy."

The anniversary was marked by conferences the world over. I will not tell you how many I attended; ecologically sensitive readers of The Chronicle might start whining about carbon footprints and that sort of thing. Let me just say that I found myself going no fewer than three times through the Quad City International Airport, in Moline, Ill. Moline!I mention this as background to the publication of a new book by Jerry A. Fodor, a professor of philosophy at Rutgers University, and Massimo Piattelli-Palmarini, a professor of cognitive science at the University of Arizona. The title of the book, What Darwin Got Wrong (Farrar, Straus and Giroux), tells you their opinion of the old English naturalist and of his theory of evolution through natural selection. If Fodor and Piattelli-Palmarini were an isolated case, one could dismiss their book with a grimace (if you were a biologist), or welcome them with a cheer (if you were a creationist). But in the philosophical community, there is an increasingly vocal cadre of eminent philosophers harboring doubts about Darwin. To understand their critique, we must first put the clock back a year, to the beginning of the celebrations. The anniversary conferences usually had a smattering of professional Darwin types like me—I am a historian and philosopher of science specializing in evolutionary theory—but the bulk of the presenters and attendees were evolutionary biologists. For two reasons, the atmosphere was universally positive."

It was somewhat of a hit or miss process since the actual mechanisms governing inheritance were unknown. Knowledge of these genetic mechanisms finally came as a result of careful laboratory breeding experiments carried out over the last century and a half. Gregor Mendel 1822-1884By the 1890's, the invention of better microscopes allowed biologists to discover the basic facts of cell division and sexual reproduction. The focus of genetics research then shifted to understanding what really happens in the transmission of hereditary traits from parents to children. A number of hypotheses were suggested to explain heredity, but Gregor Mendel, a little known Central European monk, was the only one who got it more or less right. His ideas had been published in 1866 but largely went unrecognized until 1900, which was long after his death. His early adult life was spent in relative obscurity doing basic genetics research and teaching high school mathematics, physics, and Greek in Brno (now in the Czech Republic). In his later years, he became the abbot of his monastery and put aside his scientific work. Common edible peas While Mendel's research was with plants, the basic underlying principles of heredity that he discovered also apply to people and other animals because the mechanisms of heredity are essentially the same for all complex life forms."

Alexander von Humboldt isn’t a household name today, but ecologists and nature writers remain rooted in his vision of nature, says author. Until Everest knocked it off its perch in 1863, Ecuador’s Chimborazo volcano at 20,720 ft. ( 6,310 meters) was regarded as the world’s highest mountain. Humboldt didn’t get to the top of Chimborazo, but his 1802 ascent to 19,286 feet was the highest anyone had ever climbed. Photograph by De Agostini/Getty Images By Simon Worrall,National Geographic PUBLISHED September 13, 2015In his time, the German naturalist Alexander von Humboldt was an icon, as famous as Darwin or Goethe. But the global dominance of Anglo-Saxon culture, the increasing specialization of science, and anti-German sentiment arising from two world wars elbowed him into the shadows. German-born Andrea Wulf, author of The Invention of Nature: Alexander von Humboldt’s New World, has made it her mission to put a new shine on his reputation—and show why he still has much to teach us. Talking from her home in London, she explains why it was important to experience the pain of climbing Ecuador’s highest volcano in Humboldt’s footsteps; why without Humboldt there would have been no Darwin; and how today’s environmental writers are indebted to this great German, even if they don’t know it. Alexander von Humboldt has been largely forgotten in the English-speaking world."

Scientific explanations are in terms of natural phenomena rather than supernatural phenomena, although science itself requires neither the acceptance nor the rejection of the supernatural. Science is also the organized body of knowledge about the empirical world which issues from the application of the abovementioned set of logical and empirical methods.

Dubbed ‘the philosopher of the Evolution movement’, 1 he published a theory of evolution seven years before Darwin. After reading the Origin, he became the first to apply Darwinian principles rigorously to society, a concept now known as Social Darwinism. Early life and education Born in Derby, England, in 1820, Herbert was a sickly child and the only one of nine siblings to survive infancy. His education included several years of home-schooling by his school-teacher father, George, who “sought to stimulate individuality rather than to inform”. 2 He also implanted strong anti-establishment and anti-clerical views in his son. As a teenager, Herbert lived with his uncle, the Rev. Thomas Spencer, who offered to send him to Cambridge University. However, Herbert declined this, so his relatively restricted higher education mostly resulted from his own reading. He absorbed the evolutionary concepts of Erasmus Darwin (Charles’ grandfather 3) and Lamarck, and at age 20, Lyell’s long-age geology. Along the way he acquired an opposition to discipline and authority, especially political and religious."

It explains that living things share common ancestors and over time evolutionary change gives rise to new species. On the other hand, the ideas of creation science is derived from the conviction of most Abrahemic religions that God created the universe-including humans and other living things-all at once in the relatively recent past. Creationists say that creatures started out as distinct and separate organisms when God created them and they do not believe that organisms change into complete differently and distinct animals through evolution.

Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, and the soul of soulless conditions. It is the opium of the people. ( Marx via Marxists’ Internet Archive)Karl Marx Shakyamuni Buddha The final line is the most famous condemnation of religion of the nineteenth century philosopher Karl Marx (1818-1883). ( Wolff) It was published in his essay “A Contribution to the Critique of Hegel’s Philosophy of Right” and has been used to justify the harsh suppression of religion by community regimes ever since. This is, in part, because Marx ties the existence of ‘ancient’ and outdated religious institutions to the equally “ ancien régime ” of the political and economic powers (specifically, in Germany at that time). In fact, his critique of religion itself is very short and evolves quickly into a concern with power and economics. Unlike most contemporary Americans who unthinkingly accept the so-called separation of church and state, Marx saw religion and (economic) power as part of an inseparable social system created to preserve the status quo – a status quo detrimental to humanity and which must be thrown off. Despite his seeming exaltation of humankind (in place of God), he is quick to make enemies through angry rhetoric calling for criticism to act as the “executioner” to that “criminal” by making “War on the German state of affairs!” ( Marx via Marxists’ Internet Archive)Sadly, under communist leadership this war extended itself into a war on organized religion, obscuring Marx’s perceptive, if naïve, critique of religion itself."

"text": "\"How the Sun Shinesby John N. Bahcall *What makes the sun shine? How does the sun produce the vast amount of energy necessary to support life on earth? These questions challenged scientists for a hundred and fifty years, beginning in the middle of the nineteenth century. Theoretical physicists battled geologists and evolutionary biologists in a heated controversy over who had the correct answer. Why was there so much fuss about this scientific puzzle? The nineteenth-century astronomer John Herschel described eloquently the fundamental role of sunshine in all of human life in his 1833 Treatise on Astronomy: The sun's rays are the ultimate source of almost every motion which takes place on the surface of the earth. By its heat are produced all winds ... By their vivifying action vegetables are elaborated from inorganic matter, and become, in their turn, the support of animals and of man, and the sources of those great deposits of dynamical efficiency which are laid up for human use in our coal strata. Sunshine makes life possible on earth. In this essay, we shall review from an historical perspective the development of our understanding of how the sun (the nearest star) shines, beginning in the following section with the nineteenth-century controversy over the age of the sun. In later sections, we shall see how seemingly unrelated discoveries in fundamental physics led to a theory of nuclear energy generation in stars that resolved the controversy over the age of the sun and explained the origin of solar radiation."

Most scientists and major religions in the Western World have long since incorporated it into their understanding of nature and humanity. However, some churches still maintain that there was a special and independent creation of every species and that life forms do not change through time from generation to generation. These \"\"creationists\"\" often share beliefs about the Judeo-Christian Bible that were widely held, even by scientists, during the early 19th century and before. James Ussher 1581-1656The traditional Judeo-Christian version of creationism was strongly reinforced by James Ussher, a 17th century Anglican archbishop of Armagh in Northern Ireland. By counting the generations of the Bible and adding them to modern history, he fixed the date of creation at October 23, 4004 B. C. During Ussher's lifetime, debate focused only on the details of his calculations rather than on the approach. Dr. Charles Lightfoot of Cambridge University in England had the last word. He proclaimed that the time of creation was 9:00 A. M. on October 23, 4004 B. C. This belief that the earth and life on it are only about 6000 years old fit neatly with the then prevalent theory of the \"\"Great Chain of Being.\"\" This held that God created an infinite and continuous series of life forms, each one grading into the next, from simplest to most complex, and that all organisms, including humans, were created in their present form relatively recently and that they have remained unchanged since then. Given these strongly held beliefs, it is not surprising that 17th and 18th century European biology consisted mainly of the description of plants and animals as they are with virtually no attempt to explain how they got to be that way."

This attempted to link comparative embryology with a \"\"pattern of unification\"\" in the organic world. It was supported by Étienne Geoffroy Saint-Hilaire, and became a prominent part of his ideas.

Read Part 1 here, Part 2 here, Part 3 here, and Part 4 here. Darwin argued in The Origin of Species that the widespread occurrence of vestigial organs — organs that may have once had a function but are now useless — is evidence against creation. “ On the view of each organism with all its separate parts having been specially created, how utterly inexplicable is it that organs bearing the plain stamp of inutility… should so frequently occur.” But such organs, he argued, are readily explained by his theory: “On the view of descent with modification, we may conclude that the existence of organs in a rudimentary, imperfect, and useless condition, or quite aborted, far from presenting a strange difficulty, as they assuredly do on the old doctrine of creation, might even have been anticipated in accordance with the views here explained.” 25 In The Descent of Man, Darwin cited the human appendix as an example of a vestigial organ. But Darwin was mistaken: The appendix is now known to be an important source of antibody-producing blood cells and thus an integral part of the human immune system. It may also serve as a compartment for beneficial bacteria that are needed for normal digestion. So the appendix is not useless at all. 26 In 1981, Canadian biologist Steven Scadding argued that although he had no objection to Darwinism, “vestigial organs provide no evidence for evolutionary theory.”"

Darwin developed a scientific theory of biological evolution that explains how modern organisms evolved over long periods of time through descent from common ancestors. Charles Darwin was born in England on February 12, 1809. He grew up at a time when the scientific view of the natural world was shifting dramatically. Geologists were suggesting that Earth was ancient and had changed over time, and biologists were suggesting that life on Earth had also changed. The process of change over time is called evolution.

While Lord Rutherford jokingly sought to deprecate areas of science other than his own, he conveyed a valuable insight. Stamp collecting is not merely amassing stamps: The conscientious collector imposes order, whether by date, nationality, subject, shape, or other factors. Analogously, much scientific inquiry imposes order on the world. There are many sciences of classification: Astronomers classify stars; geologists, rocks; physiologists, diseases; meteorologists, storms; and chemists, molecules. Social scientists classify human behaviors—even mathematicians classify. But the most developed classification systems have arisen in biology to classify the natural world. Classification is essential for rational thought. All language imposes a classification in the assignment of words to objects. Even animals classify, when, for example, they use different alarm calls in response to different threats."

Evolutionists believe that all living things descended from a single common ancestor.

It supports the modern evolutionary synthesis —the current scientific theory that explains how and why life changes over time. Evolutionary biologists document evidence of common descent, all the way back to the last universal common ancestor, by developing testable predictions, testing hypotheses, and constructing theories that illustrate and describe its causes. Comparison of the DNA genetic sequences of organisms has revealed that organisms that are phylogenetically close have a higher degree of DNA sequence similarity than organisms that are phylogenetically distant. Genetic fragments such as pseudogenes, regions of DNA that are orthologous to a gene in a related organism, but are no longer active and appear to be undergoing a steady process of degeneration from cumulative mutations support common descent alongside the universal biochemical organization and molecular variance patterns found in all organisms. Additional genetic information conclusively supports the relatedness of life and has allowed scientists (since the discovery of DNA) to develop phylogenetic trees: a construction of organisms evolutionary relatedness. It has also led to the development of molecular clock techniques to date taxon divergence times and to calibrate these with the fossil record. Fossils are important for estimating when various lineages developed in geologic time. As fossilization is an uncommon occurrence, usually requiring hard body parts and death near a site where sediments are being deposited, the fossil record only provides sparse and intermittent information about the evolution of life."

Vestigiality is the retention during the process of evolution of genetically determined structures or attributes that have lost some or all of their ancestral function in a given species. [ 1] Assessment of the vestigiality must generally rely on comparison with homologous features in related species. The emergence of vestigiality occurs by normal evolutionary processes, typically by loss of function of a feature that is no longer subject to positive selection pressures when it loses its value in a changing environment. The feature may be selected against more urgently when its function becomes definitively harmful, but if the lack of the feature provides no advantage, and its presence provides no disadvantage, the feature may not be phased out by natural selection and persist across species.

There is much confusion in the popularized literature about the evidence for macroevolutionary change in the fossil record. Unfortunately, the discussion of evolution within the Christian community has been greatly influenced by inaccurate presentations of the fossil data and of the methods of classification. Widely read critiques of evolution, such as Evolution: A Theory in Crisis by Denton, 1 and Darwin on Trial by Johnson, 2 contain serious misrepresentations of the available fossil evidence for macroevolutionary transitions and of the science of evolutionary paleontology. In \"\"On the Origin of Stasis by Means of Natural Processes,\"\" Battson similarly does not accurately communicate the rapidly growing body of evidence relevant to the Precambrian/Cambrian transition. 3The implication of much of the evangelical Christian commentary on macroevolution is that the major taxonomic groups of living things remain clearly distinct entities throughout their history, and were as morphologically distinct from each other at their first appearance as they are today. There is a clear interest in showing the history of life as discontinuous, and any suggestion of transition in the fossil record is met with great skepticism. The purpose of this short communication is to dispel some of these misconceptions about the nature and interpretation of the fossil record. Taxonomy and Transitional Forms The recognition of transitional forms is as much a question of taxonomy as it is a statement about the nature of the fossil record.

Taxonomy is also referred to as scientific classification. Today's classification system was developed by Carl Linnaeus as an important tool for use in the study of biology and for use in the protection of biodiversity. Without very specific classification information and a naming system to identify species' relationships, scientists would be limited in attempts to accurately describe the relationships among species. Understanding these relationships helps predict how ecosystems can be altered by human or natural factors. Preserving biodiversity is facilitated by taxonomy. Species data can be better analyzed to determine the number of different species in a community and to determine how they might be affected by environmental stresses. Family, or phylogenetic, trees for species help predict environmental impacts on individual species and their relatives. Linnaean Taxonomic System Carl Linnaeus was born in 1707 and died in 1778."

It is now known that small circular chromosomes, called extranuclear, or cytoplasmic, DNA, are located in two types of organelles found in the cytoplasm of the cell. These organelles are the mitochondria in animal and plant cells and the chloroplasts in plant cells. Chloroplast DNA ( cp DNA) contains genes that are involved with aspects of photosynthesis and with components of the special protein-synthesizing apparatus that is active within the organelle. Mitochondrial DNA ( mt DNA) contains some of the genes that participate in the conversion of the energy of chemical bonds into the energy currency of the cell—a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP)—as well as genes for mitochondrial protein synthesis. The cells of several groups of organisms contain small extra DNA molecules called plasmids. Bacterial plasmids are circular DNA molecules; some carry genes for resistance to various agents in the environment that would be toxic to the bacteria (e.g., antibiotics ). Many fungi and some plants possess plasmids in their mitochondria; most of these are linear DNA molecules carrying genes that seem to be relevant only to the propagation of the plasmid and not the host cell. Heredity and evolution At the centre of the theory of evolution as proposed by Charles Darwin and Alfred Russell Wallace were the concepts of variation and natural selection. Hereditary variants were thought to arise naturally in populations, and then these were either selected for or against by the contemporary environmental conditions."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Evolutionary taxonomy, evolutionary systematics or Darwinian classification is a branch of biological classification that seeks to classify organisms using a combination of phylogenetic relationship (shared descent), progenitor-descendant relationship (serial descent), and degree of evolutionary change. This type of taxonomy may consider whole taxa rather than single species, so that groups of species can be inferred as giving rise to new groups. [ 1] The concept found its most well-known form in the modern evolutionary synthesis of the early 1940s. Evolutionary taxonomy differs from strict pre-Darwinian Linnaean taxonomy (producing orderly lists only), in that it builds evolutionary trees. While in phylogenetic nomenclature each taxon must consist of a single ancestral node and all its descendants, evolutionary taxonomy allows for groups to be excluded from their parent taxa (e.g. dinosaurs are not considered to include birds, but to have given rise to them), thus permitting paraphyletic taxa.

For the next few lectures, we will be concerned with the GREEN branches of the tree: the ancestors and descendants of the taxonomic group commonly known as Plantae. Let's take a brief tour of the Tree of Life as it stands this minute. You are no doubt familiar with the taxonomic hierarchy and naming system devised by Swedish botanist Carl Linne, who Latinized his own name to Carollus Linnaeus. The system he devised, published in 1735, is known as Systema naturae, and is still used today by all branches of systematics, including zoology, botany, mycology, and microbiology. In the Linnaean system, every scientific name consists of an organism's Genus and species, the names of which are always GREEK, LATIN or LATINIZED versions of other languages or terms. Example: Delonix regia is the scientific name of the Royal Poinciana Tree Its name is from the Greek delo, meaning \"\"visible\"\" and the Latin regi, meaning \"\"royal\"\". An appropriate name. Each species is nested within successively more inclusive taxa."

"text": "Peter Melville Logan, “On Culture: Edward B. Tylor’s Primitive Culture, 1871″Abstract Edward B. Tylor’s Primitive Culture articulates one of two major theories of culture to emerge around 1870. His theory defines culture in descriptive terms as the “complex whole” that makes up social ideas and institutions, and in this it helped to establish anthropology as a recognized science. Tylor’s ideas were closely related to those published about the same time by Matthew Arnold, who defined culture as a humanist ideal that society should strive for. Download this page in PDF format Figure 1: Engraving of Edward Burnett Tylor Edward B. Tylor (1832-1817) established the theoretical principles of Victorian anthropology, in Primitive Culture: Researches into the Development of Mythology, Philosophy, Religion, Language, Art, and Custom (1871), by adapting evolutionary theory to the study of human society. Written at the same time as Matthew Arnold’s Culture and Anarchy (1869), Tylor defined culture in very different terms: “Culture or civilization, taken in its wide ethnographic sense, is that complex whole which includes knowledge, belief, art, morals, law, custom, and any other capabilities and habits acquired by man as a member of society” (1: 1). Here culture refers to the learned attributes of society, something we already have. Arnold’s theory focused instead on the learned qualities that we should have, which he prescribed as a way to improve the existing society. ( See Peter Melville Logan, “On Culture: Matthew Arnold’s Culture and Anarchy, 1869.″) The prescriptive element of his theory thus was antithetical to anthropology’s descriptive premises. Nonetheless, the simultaneous appearance of the two new theories of culture suggests a connection between them, and in fact both versions of “culture” had an overlapping interest in responding to one and the same problem. Each redefined culture from a term limited to individuals to one that encompassed society as a whole."

"text": "\"« Define microfossil Define microfungal »Go to User Contributed Dictionary Go to Extensive Definition User Contributed Dictionary English Nounmicrofossils Plural of microfossil Extensive Definition Fossils (from Latin fossus, literally \"\"having been dug up\"\") are the preserved remains or traces of animals, plants, and other organisms from the remote past. The totality of fossils, both discovered and undiscovered, and their placement in fossiliferous (fossil-containing) rock formations and sedimentary layers ( strata) is known as the fossil record. The study of fossils across geological time, how they were formed, and the evolution ary relationships between taxa ( phylogeny) are some of the most important functions of the science of paleontology. Fossils are typically distinguished by minimum age, most often the arbitrary date of 10,000 years ago. Hence, fossils range in age from the youngest at the start of the Holocene Epoch to the oldest from the Archaean Eon several billion years old. The observations that certain fossils were associated with certain rock strata led early geologists to recognize a geological timescale in the 19th century. The development of radiometric dating techniques in the early 20th century allowed geologists to determine the numerical or \"\"absolute\"\" age of the various strata and thereby the included fossils. Like extant organisms, fossils vary in size from microscopic, such as single bacterial cells only one micrometer in diameter, to gigantic, such as dinosaur s and trees many meters long and weighing many tons. A fossil normally preserves only a portion of the deceased organism, usually that portion that was partially mineralized during life, such as the bone s and teeth of vertebrate s, or the chitin ous exoskeleton s of invertebrate s. Preservation of soft tissues is exquisitely rare in the fossil record. Fossils may also consist of the marks left behind by the organism while it was alive, such as the footprint or feces ( coprolites) of a reptile."

"text": "\"This article is from Journal of Creation (formerly TJ) 15 (1) :26–33—April 2001 Browse our latest digital issue Subscribe Does homology provide evidence of evolutionary naturalism?by Jerry Bergman Summary Homology involves the theory that macroevolutionary relationships can be proven by the similarity in the anatomy and physiology of different animals. Since Darwin, homology has been cited in textbooks as a major proof for evolution. A review of the literature on homology indicates that the theory does not provide evidence for evolutionary naturalism, and that the common examples of homology can be better explained by Creation. Furthermore, increased knowledge about the genetic and molecular basis of life has revealed many major exceptions and contradictions to the theory which, as a result, have largely negated homology as a proof of evolution. Extensive comparisons of skeletons, muscles, nerves, body organs, cell ultrastructure and biochemistry of different animal kinds have confirmed that a great deal of similarity exists in both their structure and function. By arranging or classifying large sets of anatomical structures according to the similarity of selected traits, evolutionary naturalists have attempted to demonstrate evidence for a long, gradual line of progressive animal changes terminating in the highest organism yet, humans. Evolutionists then argue that these comparisons prove the concept that all life evolved from a hypothetical ‘common ancestor’ protocell that they believe lived about 3.5 billion years ago. Called homology or the homology theory, since Darwin this view has been presented as a major evidence of macroevolution theory. An example of this reasoning is as follows:‘If you look at a 1953 Corvette and compare it to the latest model, only the most general resemblances are evident, but if you compare a 1953 and a 1954 Corvette, side by side, then a 1954 and a 1955 model, and so on, the descent with modification is overwhelmingly obvious. This is what paleontologists do with fossils, and the evidence is so solid and comprehensive that it cannot be denied by reasonable people [emphasis in original].’ 1Homology is not merely a minor proof of evolution, but instead has been widely cited by evolutionists as one of the most compelling lines of evidence for their theory."

Although evolution had been suggested as far back as Ancient Greece, the first proponent of common descent appears to have been Erasmus Darwin, the grandfather of Charles Darwin. His book Zoönomia was published in 1796; in it he suggested that \"\"all warm-blooded animals have arisen from one living filament.\"\" Biologists have evidence that all life developed from a common ancestor that lived just under 4 billion years ago, and the concept is accepted by virtually all scientists working in the field. The structures and functions of all living organisms are encoded in the same basic nucleic molecules, DNA and RNA. Similarities in amino acid sequences between various organisms also suggest common descent, and the fossil record also shows cases in which one plant or animal type evolved into different types over time. The details of this process are shown in clade diagrams . Creationists reject common descent as it implies an evolutionary model. Young Earth creationists, as Biblical literalists, reject it outright, believing that life was created within a few days less than ten thousand years ago. Intelligent design proponents may accept some aspects of common descent, as long as they are allowed to claim that the \"\"designer\"\" interfered with the genes and mutations along the way, then deferring what's not explained to \"\"we don't know\"\" what happened.

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Evolutionary progress as a tree of life. Ernst Haeckel, 1866Lamarck's two-factor theory involves 1) a complexifying force that drives animal body plans towards higher levels (orthogenesis) creating a ladder of phyla, and 2) an adaptive force that causes animals with a given body plan to adapt to circumstances (use and disuse, inheritance of acquired characteristics ), creating a diversity of species and genera. Popular views of Lamarckism only consider an aspect of the adaptive force. [ 1]Orthogenesis, also known as orthogenetic evolution, progressive evolution, evolutionary progress, or progressionism, is the biological hypothesis that organisms have an innate tendency to evolve in a definite direction towards some goal (teleology) due to some internal mechanism or \"\"driving force\"\". [ 2] [3] [4] According to the theory, the largest-scale trends in evolution have an absolute goal such as increasing biological complexity. Prominent historical figures who have championed some form of evolutionary progress include Jean-Baptiste Lamarck, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, and Henri Bergson. The term orthogenesis was introduced by Wilhelm Haacke in 1893 and popularized by Theodor Eimer five years later. Proponents of orthogenesis had rejected the theory of natural selection as the organizing mechanism in evolution for a rectilinear model of directed evolution. [ 5] With the emergence of the modern synthesis, in which genetics was integrated with evolution, orthogenesis and other alternatives to Darwinism were largely abandoned by biologists, but the notion that evolution represents progress is still widely shared. The evolutionary biologist Ernst Mayr made the term effectively taboo in the journal Nature in 1948, by stating that it implied \"\"some supernatural force\"\". ["

It was such a joyous feeling to find out that you can actually write one (or just a few) formulas and use the power of auto-fill to do the dirty work for you. What is a reference? A reference in excel lingo “identifies a cell or a range of cells on a worksheet and tells Microsoft Excel where to look for the values or data you want to use in a formula. ”So what is the difference between relative and absolute references? When you say a reference is relative, you are telling excel to adjust that reference in formulas based on where you move or copy the formula. For eg. if you have a formula in cell B1 as =a1*2 and now if you copy paste this in another cell, lets say, C1, the new formula would read like =b1*2When you say a reference is absolute, you are telling excel not to adjust that reference in formulas when you move or copy them. Switching between relative and absolute references:while editing the formula you can use F4 function key to change the reference of a cell on which cursor is focused."

Dashboard design is a tricky business. The challenge is to communicate the key numbers in a straightforward way, while allowing users to drill down into the specifics.

It’s entirely artificial, but I’ve tried to call out in the post how things would work a little differently in a real-world situation. Step 1: Set Up Positive/Negative Thresholds I always-always- always set up two named ranges for an “up” threshold and a “down” threshold. That’s because, usually, it’s silly to declare something a positive change if it increased, say, 0.1% week-over-week. It’s a bit of a pet peeve, actually. I don’t want to deliver a dashboard that is going to look like a Christmas tree because no metric stayed exactly flat from one period to another, so every metric is colored red or green. ( Red/green should never be the sole indicator of a change, as that is not something that can be perceived by a non-trivial percent of the population that has red-green colorblindness. But, it is a nice supplemental visual cue for everyone else. ) Typically, I put these threshold cells on their own tab — a Settings worksheet that I ultimately hide."

CHECK AIR PRESSURE REGULARLYMost people forget about their tires until something goes wrong. The truth is, tires lose pressure daily. In cool weather, a tire will typically lose one or two pounds of air per month. In warm weather, tires lose even more air. That’s why it’s recommended that you check air pressure every other time you stop to fill up your gas tank. Keep in mind that many vehicles have different tire pressures on the front and rear axle.

"text": "\"Cinema Style File--Style is the Star in Roman Polanski's 1974 Neo-Noir CHINATOWNRoman Polanski's 1974 masterpiece Chinatown will be shown at this year's TCM Classic Film Festival -- Style in the Movies --as part of the 100th anniversary of Paramount Studios and Robert Evans' Paramount Renaissance. I consider Chinatown one of the ten best movies of all time, so I am absolutely thrilled it will soon be on the big screen once again. I don't think I'm overstating it when I say this is a perfect film...that adjective seems apropos when considering all the people and parts that make up Polanski's picture. As most know, it all started with its legendary script...along with Polanski, screenwriter Robert Towne crafted a neo- noir as good as the novels of Chandler, Hammett, and Cain. His brilliance was giving his fiction a factual basis--the California Water Wars--and finding mystery in the power struggles of early Los Angeles that could mask and then reveal his characters' psychological dramas. In fact, Chinatown is Towne's own metaphor for the often futile struggle for power and the shades of gray that exist between good and evil. Chinatown is set in 1937 and, like later neo -noir Blade Runner, has all the hallmarks of classic film noir . Of course much has to do with the overall style of the picture. Style is so critically important to this film. From the tone set by the distinctive opening titles (above), the architecture, furniture, clothing, cars, and countless set details from production designer Richard Sylbert all work together in harmony."

"text": "\" (Definitions and Examples - All) This genre enjoys widespread popularity. Mystery writers, especially the earliest female authors, have often used a pseudonym. Almost all of its characters hail from an urban (and/or upper-class) background, and many of its heroes and villains return to complete an entire series. Mysteries thrive on complexity and misdirection, hence these descriptions are long. Stories in which the crime is not solved, or the criminals never apprehended (or at least identified) by the end of a novel (or series), are rare. Amateur Investigator tales feature a protagonist who is not a law enforcement officer or licensed private investigator. Harry Kemelman's \"\"Rabbi\"\" series is a great example. Marcia Muller's novel The Tree of Death stars a female museum curator in Mexico, and the hero of Edna Buchannan's Miami, It's Murder is a male newspaper reporter. One series, Donna Andrews's \"\"Turing Hopper\"\" novels, overlap with 'science fiction' and star an AI-computer detective. Bumbling Detective tales are sometimes humorous and often endearing."

"text": "Alternative Title: Emmett Leo Kelly Emmett Kelly, in full Emmett Leo Kelly, (born December 9, 1898, Sedan, Kansas, U. S.—died March 28, 1979, Sarasota, Florida), one of the great American circus clowns, best known for his role as Weary Willie, a mournful tramp dressed in tattered clothes and made up with a growth of beard and a bulbous nose. Kelly as a young man studied to become a cartoonist, and he originally created the Weary Willie character as a cartoon figure. He worked at various jobs in and around the circus, including as a painter. He taught himself trapeze work and was hired as a trapeze artist for Howe’s Great London Circus. In 1923 he brought his cartoon character of the defeated hobo to life as a clown. He worked for the Sells-Floto and Hagenbeck-Wallace circuses until 1931 and then for the Cole Bros. After appearing in England in the late 1930s with the Bertram Mills Circus, where he is said to have perfected his pantomime skills, Kelly joined the Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Combined Circus in 1942 and was a featured act there until the late 1950s. Kelly’s great gift went far beyond a convincing performance as a down-and-out sad sack. He perfected a famous routine in which he tried to sweep up a spotlight only to be startled by its reappearance. He lent a little comic relief to dramatic acts by, for example, hanging his laundry on a low tightrope. He also notoriously parodied other acts until chased out of the ring."

His character Sam Spade, was the original \"\"hard-boiled\"\" detective and became the basis for such other characters as Philip Marlowe, and Mike Hammer. Hammett was born and raised in St. Mary's County, Maryland. At age 13, he dropped out of school to become a courier. He then worked as a long-shoreman and from there became a Pinkerton detective. As an investigator he looked into Roscoe \"\"Fatty\"\" Arbuckle's alleged involvement in the rape and murder of actress Virginia Rappe, and into the activities of notorious gambler Nick Arnstein. Hammett wrote his five mystery novels between the late 1920s and early 1930s. Three of those books became novels, the most famous being the 1941 film noir classic The Maltese Falcon starring Humphrey Bogart and Sydney Greenstreet (an excellent earlier version of the story was made in 1931). The Glass Key (1935, 1941) and the Thin Man, which became the basis of a five-film series between 1934 and 1947, were the other two that made it to film. Hammett became a story writer for Paramount in 1931."

He was born into show biz. While some canine stars are discovered when they are older, this funny, good-tempered little Wire-Haired Fox Terrier, was born into a dog training family. Actress Gale Henry and her husband, Henry East, had started a side business training dogs in the 1920s. Gale was a comedic actress in silent films, and Henry East ran special effects and props for MGM Studios. At that time, if a dog was in a scene, he was generally in the background and considered a prop. Henry East began learning the art of selecting good screen dogs. During this time, Gale was in a silent film that called for a dog to lie motionless for a long period of time."

C., to New York - Guy Haines, a married professional tennis player in love with the daughter of a U. S. Senator, and Bruno Antony, a cynical mama's boy who hates his wealthy father. Bruno poses the wild idea of each committing the other's perfect murder; Guy would kill Bruno's father and Bruno would do away with Guy's promiscuous, blackmailing wife. Guy thinks it's all a joke and laughingly agrees, but when Bruno murders Guy's wife in a small-town amusement park, the joke turns deadly. Director/Producer: Alfred Hitchcock Screenplay: Raymond Chandler, Czenzi Ormonde, Whitfield Cook, based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith Cinematography: Robert Burks Editing: William H.

Carroll (Senator Morton), Laura Elliott (Miriam Haines). BW-101m. Why STRANGERS ON A TRAIN is Essential After riding high for several years as one of the most popular directors in film, Alfred Hitchcock produced a string of critical and commercial failures in the late 1940s. Following the great success of Notorious (1946), his next four pictures - The Paradine Case (1947), Rope (1948), Under Capricorn (1949), and Stage Fright (1950) - turned out to be major disappointments. He needed a first-rate thriller that could put him back on top, and he found it in Patricia Highsmith's novel, Strangers on a Train. In the story, Hitchcock found more than just opportunities for a wild suspenseful ride with a climactic amusement park disaster. He was able to work out in the script and in the film's structure and visual design, the motif of doubling, of opposing forces of dark and light, good and evil, innocence and guilt coming together."

Earlier novels and stories were typically devoid of systematic attempts at detection: There was no detective, whether amateur or professional, trying to figure out how and by whom a particular crime was committed; there were no police trying to solve a case; neither was there any discussion of motives, alibis, the modus operandi, or any of the other elements which make up the modern crime writing. Early Arabic crime stories [ edit]The earliest known example of a crime story was \"\" The Three Apples \"\", one of the tales narrated by Scheherazade in the One Thousand and One Nights ( Arabian Nights ). In this tale, a fisherman discovers a heavy, locked chest along the Tigris river and he sells it to the Abbasid Caliph, Harun al-Rashid, who then has the chest broken open only to find inside it the dead body of a young woman who was cut into pieces. Harun orders his vizier, Ja'far ibn Yahya, to solve the crime and find the murderer within three days, or be executed if he fails his assignment. ["

The Golden Age proper is in practice usually taken to refer to a type of fiction which was predominant in the 1920s and 1930s but had been written since at least 1911 and is still being written—though much less—today. In his history of the detective story, Bloody Murder: From the Detective Story to the Crime Novel, the author Julian Symons heads two chapters devoted to the Golden Age as \"\"the Twenties\"\" and \"\"the Thirties\"\". Symons notes that Philip Van Doren Stern's article, \"\"The Case of the Corpse in the Blind Alley\"\" (1941) [1] \"\"could serve ... as an obituary for the Golden Age.\"\" [ 2]Many of the authors of the Golden Age were British: Margery Allingham (1904–1966), Sir Henry Aubrey-Fletcher (1887-1969), Anthony Berkeley (aka Francis Iles, 1893–1971), G. K. Chesterton (1874-1936), Dame Agatha Christie (1890–1976), Freeman Wills Crofts (1879–1957), R. Austin Freeman (1862–1943), Joseph Jefferson Farjeon (1883–1955), Michael Innes (1906–1993), Msgr.

Dame Ngaio Marsh (1895–1982), was a New Zealander but was also British, as was her detective Roderick Alleyn. Georges Simenon was from Belgium and wrote in French; his detective, Jules Maigret, was a Frenchman. Some writers, such as Mary Roberts Rinehart, S. S. Van Dine, Earl Derr Biggers, John Dickson Carr, Ellery Queen, Erle Stanley Gardner and Elizabeth Daley [1], were American but had similar styles. Others, such as Raymond Chandler, Dashiell Hammett, and James M. Cain, had a more hard-boiled, American style."

He moved to England when his parents divorced. He attended Dulwich College and studied languages in France and Germany before returning to England in 1907 and becoming a naturalized British subject. He took a civil service job in the Admiralty, which he left in 1912 to return to America, settling in California. After the US entered World War I he enlisted in the Canadian Army, then transferred to the Royal Flying Corps. After the armistice he returned to California and got a series of bookkeeping jobs, finally becoming a vice-president with the Dabney Oil syndicate. All along, however, he had been submitting stories, poems, sketches and essays to a number of periodicals, but when the Depression hit and the bottom fell out of the oil business, he lost his job and turned to writing full-time. He found a niche with stories of the \"\"hard-boiled\"\" school popularized by Dashiell Hammett, and had many of his early stories accepted by Black Mask, the same mystery magazine that had first published Hammett. His first four novels--\"\"The Big Sleep\"\" (1939, filmed 1946 [ The Big Sleep (1946)] and 1978 [ The Big Sleep (1978)]); \"\"Farewell My Lovely\"\" (1940, filmed 1944 [ Murder, My Sweet (1944)] and 1975 [ Farewell, My Lovely (1975)]); \"\"The High Window\"\" (1942, filmed 1947 [ The Brasher Doubloon (1947)]); and \"\"The Lady in the Lake (1943, filmed 1946 [ Lady in the Lake (1946)])--which reworked plots from some of his short stories, were his most successful. He spent some time in Hollywood as a screenwriter, contributing to Billy Wilder 's Double Indemnity (1944), the film noir classic The Blue Dahlia (1946) and Alfred Hitchcock 's Strangers on a Train (1951)."

FLINTView page in Times Machine, Page 00011 The New York Times Archives William Powell, the actor who personified the suave and sophisticated leading man in the 1930's and 40's, died yesterday at Desert Hospital in Palm Springs, Calif. He was 91 years old. Mr. Powell's wife of 44 years, the former actress Diana Lewis, was at his bedside. The actor's wry, winning cynicism brightened such classics as the comedy-murder mystery ''Thin Man'' series, the farce ''My Man Godfrey,'' the musical spectacle ''The Great Ziegfeld'' and the period comedy ''Life With Father. ''Mr. Powell's ideal foil was the chic and peppery Myrna Loy. They co- starred 13 times, including six ''Thin Man'' movies in which he, as a retired sleuth, Nick Charles, and she, as his tag-along socialite wife, Nora, matched martinis and mirth, sharing amiable brickbats and trapping wrongdoers in the urbane movies from stories by Dashiell Hammett. Their zest and bantering affection showed that marriage could be merry. They started a vogue of madcap detective films, and many impressionable viewers, believing they were also married offscreen, wrote them, seeking advice on marital problems. In a statement yesterday, Miss Loy recalled, ''I never enjoyed my work more than when I worked with William Powell. He was a brilliant actor, a delightful companion, a great friend and, above all, a true gentleman.''"

Film noir movies were mostly made from the early 1940s to the late 1950s in the United States, and they were usually filmed in black-and-white. The term \"\"film noir\"\" comes from the French term for \"\"black film\"\" or \"\"dark film\"\". Film noir movies include many different genres of movies, such as gangster movies, police movies, and detective movies. Film noir movies were often filmed so that there were many dark shadows in the movie, even on characters' faces. The Hollywood film noir movies were influenced by German film directors such as Fritz Lang, who used dramatic lighting techniques. Another influence on film noir movies was 1930s French books or movies about heroes who would die at the end of the story or stories with sad endings. Film noir movies were also influenced by crime fiction, such as the detective and crime stories by Dashiell Hammett, James M. Cain, and Raymond Chandler.

A mystery film is a genre of film that revolves around the solution of a problem or a crime. It focuses on the efforts of the detective, private investigator or amateur sleuth to solve the mysterious circumstances of an issue by means of clues, investigation, and clever deduction. The plot often centers on the deductive ability, prowess, confidence, or diligence of the detective as they attempt to unravel the crime or situation by piecing together clues and circumstances, seeking evidence, interrogating witnesses, and tracking down a criminal. Suspense is often maintained as an important plot element. This can be done through the use of the soundtrack, camera angles, heavy shadows, and surprising plot twists. Alfred Hitchcock used all of these techniques, but would sometimes allow the audience in on a pending threat then draw out the moment for dramatic effect. This genre has ranged from early mystery tales, fictional or literary detective stories, to classic Hitchcockian suspense- thrillers to classic private detective films. A related film subgenre is spy films.

But if the assumptions of parametric tests are violated, we use nonparametric tests. One-factor Chi-Square test ( c 2)The chi-square test is used mainly when dealing with a nominal variable. The “levels” of the variable are discrete, mutually exclusive categories, and the data consist of frequencies or counts for each category. The chi-square test is sometimes called a “goodness-of-fit” test, because it asks whether there is a good fit between obtained data and theoretical data. Example: When I flew home on Sunday, we had a choice of chicken or ravioli for dinner on the flight."

"text": "Are You Sure Your Data Is Normal? Shree Phadnis 0Most processes, particularly those involving life data and reliability, are not normally distributed. Most Six Sigma and process capability tools, however, assume normality. Only through verifying data normality and selecting the appropriate data analysis method will the results be accurate. This article discusses the non-normality issue and helps the reader understand some options for analyzing non-normal data. Introduction Some years ago, some statisticians held the belief that when processes were not normally distributed, there was something “wrong” with the process, or even that the process was “out of control.” In their view, the purpose of the control chart was to determine when processes were non-normal so they could be “corrected,” and returned to normality. Most statisticians and quality practitioners today would recognize that there is nothing inherently normal (pun intended) about the normal distribution, and its use in statistics is only due to its simplicity. It is well defined, so it is convenient to assume normality when errors associated with that assumption would be minor. In fact, most of the efforts done in the interest of quality improvement lead to non-normal processes, since they try to narrow the distribution using process stops."

Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test Purpose: Test for distributional adequacy The chi-square test ( Snedecor and Cochran, 1989) is used to test if a sample of data came from a population with a specific distribution. An attractive feature of the chi-square goodness-of-fit test is that it can be applied to any univariate distribution for which you can calculate the cumulative distribution function . The chi-square goodness-of-fit test is applied to binned data (i.e., data put into classes). This is actually not a restriction since for non-binned data you can simply calculate a histogram or frequency table before generating the chi-square test. However, the value of the chi-square test statistic are dependent on how the data is binned. Another disadvantage of the chi-square test is that it requires a sufficient sample size in order for the chi-square approximation to be valid."

Steps in the Research Process 1) select topic, 2) focus question, 3) design study, 4)collect data, 5) Analyze data, 6)interpret data, 7) inform others What is a Research Question: the organizing principle for an individual study. It clarifies exactly what the researcher wants to understand, describe, or explain Characteristics of a Good Research Question: 1) It elicits an explanation or description, not an answer 2) It links contructs & suggests associations or relationships 3) It can be addressed w/ empirical evidence 4) It is focused and feasible PICO approach Patient/problem, intervention, comparison intervention, outcomes. Works best for quantitative designs Confidence intervals: allow us to use sample data to estimate a population value like the ture mean or the true proportion. EX: what is the true avg amount students spend weekly on alcohol Hypothesis testing: Allows us to use sample data to test a claim about a population, such as testing whether a population proportion or population mean = some #. EX: is the true avg amount that students spent weekly on alcohol $20Null hypothesis: always represents the status quo, i.e. the hypothesis that requires no change in current behavior. Alternative hyposthesis is the conclusion that the researcher is trying to make. Using the Pub Med database Identify the key concepts in your research question."

[ 1]The survival function is also known as the survivor function [2] or reliability function. [ 3]The term reliability function is common in engineering while the term survival function is used in a broader range of applications, including human mortality.

"text": "\"Hypothesis Testing At the heart of research lies a question. For example, consider the following scenario: you just went for a run in the park, and you feel great. Naturally, you might ask yourself \"\"does exercise make people happy?\"\". If you are asking a question that you don't know the answer to, research is necessary to resolve it. There are many forms that this research can take, from a literature review to performing an experiment. A technique known as statistical hypothesis testing is often used in psychology to determine a likely answer to a research question. Formulating the hypotheses With hypothesis testing, the research question is formulated as two competing hypotheses: the null hypothesis and the alternative hypothesis . The null hypothesis is the default position that the effect you are looking for does not exist, and the alternative hypothesis is that your prediction is correct. The goal of hypothesis testing is to collect evidence and reject the null hypothesis if it appears unlikely to be true. In other words, if we reject the null hypothesis there is some experimental support for the alternative hypothesis (although it is important to keep in mind that we have not proved the alternative hypothesis is true)."

It includes current chapter revision status, background information, testing requirements, statistical basis, information about the upcoming revision, and frequently asked questions. Status of General Chapter <905>As of January 1, 2007, the updated, harmonized revision of General Chapter <905> published as an Interim Revision Announcement in Pharmacopeial Forum 32 (6) [November–December 2006] is official. This version also is published in the 1st Supplement to USP 30–NF 25. Revision History and Rationale The ICH Steering Committee considers international harmonization of about 10 specific compendial test chapters as critical to attaining full utility of the ICH Q6A guideline. ICH Q6A recommended the harmonization of certain tests for dosage forms, including General Chapter <905>. USP published a revised, harmonized General Chapter <905> on pages 2505–2510 of USP 28–NF 23 with an implementation date of April 1, 2006. This chapter contains the global harmonized text approved by the Pharmacopeial Discussion Group (PDG) as well as USP–specific national text. The PDG consists of USP, the Japanese Pharmacopeia, and the European Pharmacopeia. In Pharmacopeial Forum 31 (6) [November–December 2005], USP postponed the implementation date of the revised, harmonized General Chapter <905> to January 1, 2007, to allow USP to consider comments received on Weight Variation as a test alternative in certain cases. In USP 29–NF 24, both the official and the revised, harmonized versions of <905> appeared."

In fact i am becoming more and more uninterested in what can be done in ARCHICAD. There are already plenty of users focussed on asking Graphisoft for ARCHICAD feature improvements that are primarily designed to benefit the model author. My focus is all on the data and how we can use it and export it. For me, my simple mantra is if you can’t export it from an authoring package, and generate a benefit to others, it doesn’t exist. This perhaps may seem a little extreme but with this thought pattern it allows me to focus on the bigger picture of BIM. I would therefore like to think that the blog pieces i write are as useful to users of other authoring platforms as they are to an ARCHICAD user. If nothing else you may begin to understand a little more about ARCHICAD. And there is no harm in looking at how another authoring tool functions. So after that brief introduction, now on to this blog piece…Creating intelligence A lot has been said in BIM circles about the idea that some software currently is not really able to be used in BIM workflows, particularly though when it comes to the ‘I’ in BIM."

Berstein in his book ‘Against the Gods the remarkable story of risk’ narrates how the small book published in London and titled Natural and Political Obsrvations made upon the Bills of Mortality made history. The book contained a compilation of birth and deaths in London from 1604 to 1661. The author was John Gaunt, he was 42 years old when he wrote this book, he was a businessman but interested in many other things. William Petty, a professor and Graunt’s friend help him with some of the population analysis in the book“Graunt was hardly aware that he was the innovator of sampling theory. In fact, he worked with the complete set of bills of mortality rather than with a sample. But he reasoned systematically about raw data in ways that no one had ever tried before. The manner in which he analyzed the data laid the foundation for the science of statistics. The word “statistics” is derived from the analysis of quantitative facts about the state. Graunt and Petty may be considered the co-fathers of this important field of study.” ( Berstein, 1998)Graunt put together the first recorded longitudinal study of event occurrence, some form of a life table: Age Died Survived01006366416244026152536916466105646663276218610Graunt’s accomplishment was to analyze mortality statistics in London and concluded correctly that more female than male babies were born and that women lived longer than men."

[ citation needed]Illustration of regression dilution (or attenuation bias) by a range of regression estimates in errors-in-variables models. Two regression lines (red) bound the range of linear regression possibilities. The shallow slope is obtained when the independent variable (or predictor) is on the abscissa (x-axis). The steeper slope is obtained when the independent variable is on the ordinate (y-axis). By convention, with the independent variable on the x-axis, the shallower slope is obtained. Green reference lines are averages within arbitrary bins along each axis. Note that the steeper green and red regression estimates are more consistent with smaller errors in the y-axis variable. In the case when some regressors have been measured with errors, estimation based on the standard assumption leads to inconsistent estimates, meaning that the parameter estimates do not tend to the true values even in very large samples."

Familiar clinical examples include blood pressure, ejection fraction, forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 ), serum cholesterol, and anthropometric measurements. Methods for analysing continuous data fall into two classes, distinguished by whether or not they make assumptions about the distribution of the data. Theoretical distributions are described by quantities called parameters, notably the mean and standard deviation. 1 Methods that use distributional assumptions are called parametric methods, because we estimate the parameters of the distribution assumed for the data. Frequently used parametric methods include t tests and analysis of variance for comparing groups, and least squares regression and correlation for studying the relation between variables. All of the common parametric methods (“ t methods”) assume that in some way the data follow a normal distribution and also that the spread of the data (variance) is uniform either between groups or across the range being studied. For example, the two sample t test assumes that the two samples of observations come from populations that have normal distributions with the same standard deviation. The importance of the assumptions for t methods diminishes as sample size increases. Alternative methods, such as the sign test, Mann-Whitney test, and rank correlation, do not require the data to follow a particular distribution."

"title": "http://www.biostathandbook.com/variabletypes.html\nTypes of biological variables",
"text": "\"⇐ Previous topic | Next topic ⇒Types of biological variables Summary There are three main types of variables: measurement variables, which are expressed as numbers (such as 3.7 mm); nominal variables, which are expressed as names (such as \"\"female\"\"); and ranked variables, which are expressed as positions (such as \"\"third\"\"). You need to identify the types of variables in an experiment in order to choose the correct method of analysis. Introduction One of the first steps in deciding which statistical test to use is determining what kinds of variables you have. When you know what the relevant variables are, what kind of variables they are, and what your null and alternative hypotheses are, it's usually pretty easy to figure out which test you should use. I classify variables into three types: measurement variables, nominal variables, and ranked variables. You'll see other names for these variable types and other ways of classifying variables in other statistics references, so try not to get confused. Isopod crustacean (pillbug or roly-poly), Armadillidium vulgare. You'll analyze similar experiments, with similar null and alternative hypotheses, completely differently depending on which of these three variable types are involved. For example, let's say you've measured variable X in a sample of 56 male and 67 female isopods ( Armadillidium vulgare, commonly known as pillbugs or roly-polies), and your null hypothesis is \"\"Male and female A. vulgare have the same values of variable X.\"\" If variable X is width of the head in millimeters, it's a measurement variable, and you'd compare head width in males and females with a two-sample t –test or a one-way analysis of variance (anova). If variable X is a genotype (such as AA, Aa, or aa ), it's a nominal variable, and you'd compare the genotype frequencies in males and females with a Fisher's exact test."

You can see that one way to look at variables is to divide them into four different categories ( nominal , ordinal , interval and ratio ). These refer to the levels of measure associated with the variables. In everyday usage the convention is to then use the level of measure to refer to the kind of variable. So you can then speak of nominal, ordinal, interval, etc. variables. One isn't necessarily better than another category. But, it is true you typically have more information with some than with others, and you're more used to working with some than with others. With interval and ratio variables for example, you can do averages and things like that. You know there are numbers."

We must be able to test for equality of variances in both normally distributed data and non-normally distributed data. There are two separate tests for equality of variances: 1) If you have normally distributed data, you should perform the parametric Levene's test. 2) If you have non-normally distributed data, you should perform the non-parametric Levene's test. In this video tutorial, I show you how to perform both, using SPSS, and I also show the necessary references, and how to write out your results. PARAMETRIC LEVENE'S TEST -Analyze, Compare Means, One Way ANOVA. -Put your data variable in the Dependent List. -Put your groups in the Factor Field. -Click on Options and check, Homogeneity of Variance Test, and then click Continue and OK. -Scrutinize the Test of Homogeneity of Variances."

If it's not important to convey the actual CAD geometry, but just the product of it, PDF, TIFF are very widely used. 2D data is typically detail drawings, but might actually be operable geometry, such as a sheet metal flat pattern. When moving actual geometry, there are issues with complex geometry, such as splines, or simply non analytical curves. There can also be issues with fonts, line colors, widths, types too. Other entities, like a cross-hatch may be difficult, depending on the to and from systems employed. PDF, TIFF resolve these problems because they convey a picture of what the CAD data looks like, and they do so with pixels in the case of TIFF, and either pixels or vectors, in the case of PDF. Another one is HPGL, which is a plotting language, primitive, but still used regularly. From there, one gets into CGM computer graphics meta-files, Windows meta-files, and other niche kinds of things."

To convert categorical variables to metric scales is not a simple task. There are some latent variable models (like IRT models) that, given certain assumptions hold, allow to do that. Another way is optimal scaling. But for this I suppose you must be willing to do things with R and delve into some advanced statistics like latent variable models or nonlinear PCA."

Chi-Square Goodness-of-Fit Test Purpose: Test for distributional adequacy The chi-square test ( Snedecor and Cochran, 1989) is used to test if a sample of data came from a population with a specific distribution. An attractive feature of the chi-square goodness-of-fit test is that it can be applied to any univariate distribution for which you can calculate the cumulative distribution function . The chi-square goodness-of-fit test is applied to binned data (i.e., data put into classes). This is actually not a restriction since for non-binned data you can simply calculate a histogram or frequency table before generating the chi-square test. However, the value of the chi-square test statistic are dependent on how the data is binned. Another disadvantage of the chi-square test is that it requires a sufficient sample size in order for the chi-square approximation to be valid."

Also, Space X, Elon Musk’s private aerospace company, is reportedly planning a full-scale invasion on satellite internet with intentions to launch 4,425 low-orbit satellites as early as 2019. We’ll keep an eye on both companies and update this post in full when more information is available.

It further means security of one's property, so it does not get stolen or damaged. In a broader sense, we can enumerate security requirements in real world in the following manner: One's physical security from any harm (e.g., being hurt, feeling scared)Security of one's property from theft, damage, misuse (e.g., what if someone uses my house to throw water balloons on others) or trespassing Verifiable identities of all persons that matter (bank tellers, police officers, friends)Ability to minimize or eliminate unwanted interactions (e.g., solicitation phone calls, begging, asking for petition signatures)Ability to freely move and engage in activities (e.g., visit a favorite park or restaurant, take a fast road into the city)Notice that some of these requirements relate to one's safety and others relate to convenience, i.e. we both want to be safe and to go about our business with minimal distraction from others. In computing and networking one can find the similar cobmination of security requirements that blend the need for safety with the need for uninterupted operation. Making a parallel with physical security requirements, in the Internet I may want (this is not a comprehensive list): Physical security of my machine (my machine will not be broken into)Security of my data from theft, damage My machine will not be misused to harm others (e.g., DDo S, phishing)My machine, its programs and any physical devices it may control will behave as intended I will be able to verify identity of remote machines/institutions, origin of remote data I will not waste time nor machine/network resources on unwanted tasks (spam, phishing, DDo S)I will be able to communicate to any chosen server at any time, barring accidental networking/server failures Many of you have heard about computer security (e.g., security from intrusion, viruses, worms, etc.) How does it relate to network security? Computer security aims to protect a single machine and data residing on it. Networking goal is to enable communication between any pair of machines, in any scenario."

"text": "Stress Testing and Data Collection Exactly what kind of data do banks need for bottom-up stress testing? In the wake of the most recent financial crisis, considerable emphasis has been placed on financial institutions performing reasonable stress testing procedures as part of their risk management and capital planning processes. While the focus primarily has been on the largest financial institutions with measures like the introduction of the Supervisory Capital Assessment Program, or SCAP, in early 2009, additional and more recent guidance seems to indicate that this will be something that all financial institutions, regardless of size, will be asked to do. Sourcing and updating adequate data is one of the most crucial aspects of developing and maintaining a reliable stress testing process. The ability to incorporate updated and relevant data for the stress tests will provide financial institutions, regardless of size, with significant benefits as they strive to identify and mitigate potential risks in their loan portfolio over time. For credit risk stress testing, financial institutions can choose from several different approaches, according to regulatory guidance. The most common approaches to stress testing are bottom-up or top-down. For many financial institutions, bottom-up stress testing may be the more useful exercise, particularly for institutions with high levels of commercial real estate. For stress testing a loan portfolio using a bottom-up approach, a number of basic data fields are required, so data can be a big challenge with stress testing. Several of these fields, including basic loan information such as call code, loan type, property type, risk rating and location, are already being captured in the institution’s core accounting system."

"text": "Chapter 18 – Stress Testing Web Applications Performance Testing Guidance for Web Applications J. D. Meier, Carlos Farre, Prashant Bansode, Scott Barber, and Dennis Rea Microsoft Corporation September 2007Objectives Understand the key concepts of stress testing. Learn how to stress-test a Web application. Overview Stress testing is a type of performance testing focused on determining an application’s robustness, availability, and reliability under extreme conditions. The goal of stress testing is to identify application issues that arise or become apparent only under extreme conditions. These conditions can include heavy loads, high concurrency, or limited computational resources. Proper stress testing is useful in finding synchronization and timing bugs, interlock problems, priority problems, and resource loss bugs. The idea is to stress a system to the breaking point in order to find bugs that will make that break potentially harmful. The system is not expected to process the overload without adequate resources, but to behave (e.g., fail) in an acceptable manner (e.g., not corrupting or losing data). Stress tests typically involve simulating one or more key production scenarios under a variety of stressful conditions. For example, you might deploy your application on a server that is already running a processor-intensive application; in this way, your application is immediately “starved” of processor resources and must compete with the other application for processor cycles."

"text": "What Does A Test Manager Do? January 2, 2017 by Gary Tan Hello there! You know, one of the roles that is often found in system implementation projects is that of the test manager. Who does a test manager do? Many of my readers are sometimes confused about the roles and responsibilities of the test manager. In this article, I want to describe what a test manager does and the value he or she adds to a project. A test manager role, in my opinion is critical because it covers quality – quality of the software being implemented. Usually, he or she will coordinate large teams of testers to test and debug software so that the product rolled out is of the absolute highest quality. Let’s discover more below. The test manager is a critical role in a system implementation a project1."

"text": "Toward Optimal Health: The Experts Provide a Current Perspective on Perimenopause Jodi Godfrey Meisler, M. S., R. D. Introduction Aging baby boomers have begun to demand attention to a variety of symptoms that arise during the fourth decade of life, a transitional phase, known as perimenopause. Although this premenopausal phase cannot be confirmed with any certainty until after menopause has occurred, it is a long period in which to experience discomfort and symptoms that can have a dramatic effect on a woman's quality of life. Mood, sleep, body weight, libido, and breast and menstrual changes may occur. The picture is complicated by the variability of the symptoms among women and by the fact that the symptoms often develop gradually over the course of many years. Without a test to confirm a diagnosis of perimenopause, this transitional phase has been elusive to the medical community. Now, it is finally beginning to getting its clinical due. Women can seek medical intervention for symptoms that sufficiently disrupt their quality of life and can address changes that may have with long-term health implications. Specifically, risk factors for heart disease, osteoporosis, and genitourinary problems can be identified, and a treatment plan can be anticipated rather than postponed until intervention is reactive after menopause. Because every woman approaches, responds to, and is affected by perimenopause differently, the challenge for the physician becomes a subtle one of acknowledging the problem and finding suitable treatment to address the patient's complaints. It is important for women's health practitioners to have a greater appreciation for and understanding of this transition period."

Meier, Carlos Farre, Prashant Bansode, Scott Barber, and Dennis Rea Microsoft Corporation September 2007Objectives Understand common principles and considerations of performance test execution. Understand the common activities of performance test execution. Overview Performance test execution is the activity that occurs between developing test scripts and reporting and analyzing test results. Much of the performance testing–related training available today treats this activity as little more than starting a test and monitoring it to ensure that the test appears to be running as expected. In reality, this activity is significantly more complex than just clicking a button and monitoring machines. This chapter addresses these complexities based on numerous real-world project experiences. How to Use this Chapter Use this chapter to understand the key principles and considerations underlying performance test execution and the various activities that it entails. To get the most from this chapter: Use the “Approach for Test Execution” section to get an overview of the approach for performance test execution and as quick reference guide for you and your team.

Differentiate laws from theories and explain how research hypotheses are developed and tested. Discuss the procedures that researchers use to ensure that their research with humans and with animals is ethical. Psychologists aren’t the only people who seek to understand human behavior and solve social problems. Philosophers, religious leaders, and politicians, among others, also strive to provide explanations for human behavior. But psychologists believe that research is the best tool for understanding human beings and their relationships with others. Rather than accepting the claim of a philosopher that people do (or do not) have free will, a psychologist would collect data to empirically test whether or not people are able to actively control their own behavior. Rather than accepting a politician’s contention that creating (or abandoning) a new center for mental health will improve the lives of individuals in the inner city, a psychologist would empirically assess the effects of receiving mental health treatment on the quality of life of the recipients. The statements made by psychologists are empirical, which means they are based on systematic collection and analysis of data. The Scientific Method All scientists (whether they are physicists, chemists, biologists, sociologists, or psychologists) are engaged in the basic processes of collecting data and drawing conclusions about those data."

Patient information: See related handout on stress fractures, written by the authors of this article. Stress fractures are common injuries in athletes and military recruits. These injuries occur more commonly in lower extremities than in upper extremities. Stress fractures should be considered in patients who present with tenderness or edema after a recent increase in activity or repeated activity with limited rest. The differential diagnosis varies based on location, but commonly includes tendinopathy, compartment syndrome, and nerve or artery entrapment syndrome. Medial tibial stress syndrome (shin splints) can be distinguished from tibial stress fractures by diffuse tenderness along the length of the posteromedial tibial shaft and a lack of edema. When stress fracture is suspected, plain radiography should be obtained initially and, if negative, may be repeated after two to three weeks for greater accuracy. If an urgent diagnosis is needed, triple-phase bone scintigraphy or magnetic resonance imaging should be considered."

The Double ABCX model is presented in this paper as a simple, dynamic and easily applicable model to explain the factors associated with families’ adjustment to chronic stressors. It has considerable research supporting its applicability in a variety of contexts. This paper presents a review of the literature on the Double ABCX model and its various applications. A discussion of the limitations of the research on the model is offered, and suggestions for future research are made. Keywords: Double ABCX model, family crisis, adjustment, adaptation D O U B L E A B C X MO D E L | 3 A Review of the Double ABCX Model and its Applications Research on how families respond as a unit to stress and crises has been researched extensively over the last few decades. Reuben Hill, who is acknowledged to be the father of family stress theory (Boss, 2002), was the one of the first to propose a systematic model to explain what might be anticipated when a family goes through a period of stress, and what factors mitigate their response to it. His seminal research during the World War II was based on families separated by war and their reunion. He saw response to crisis (Factor X) as a roller coaster ride, made more or less intense by three factors he later denoted by the letters A, B and C to create the ABCX Formula in 1958 (Weber, 2011). This 70 year-old model has inspired a profusion of research, but has remained more or less relevant even today."

A comparison of values relative to each other yields a great deal of information that would be lost if the values were viewed independently of each other. For example, if the normal height for a man is between 5’3” and 6’ and normal weight is between 130 lbs and 200 lbs., scanning the results column of a lab or other report (for flagged abnormal values) would declare a man who is 5’3” tall weighing 200 lbs to be just as normal as a man 6’ tall weighing 135 lbs."

Do you have a strong family history of cancers, heart disease, etc? Whether you answer yes to one of the above or both, this article can potentially explain why. In 2003, a genetic study called the Human Genome Project was completed. And via that study, they discovered that an important gene towards your health and well-being, called the MTHFR gene, aka methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase was defective in a lot of folks worldwide! Some state more than 60% (and yes, most of us end up calling it the dirty word gene–lol).i.e. this gene when working correctly helps break down needed metals for use in your body….like iron, or helps break down B12 for use, or other nutrients. Additionally, it helps down excess metals and toxins to be removed from your body. So when it’s not working correctly, meaning the mutation is activated, you might see elevated levels of iron, or B12, or heavy metals…or a family history of heart problems or cancers to name a few, because those heavy metals and toxins aren’t being eliminated from the body. When it’s all working right (and it can be for awhile even with the mutation), the MTHFR gene begins a multi-step chemical breakdown process, aka methylation, which is like this: The MTHFR gene produces the MTHFR enzyme."

Share Email Print Feedback Overview Myocardial ischemia is a disorder that usually is caused by a critical coronary artery obstruction, which is also known as atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the leading cause of death worldwide, and it is the second most common cause of emergency department visits in the United States. More than $140 billion are spent each year for the diagnosis and management of CAD. Diagnosing myocardial ischemia prior to a heart attack is important because ischemic heart disease is responsible for approximately 14% of all deaths worldwide. Approximately 1.5 million Americans will have a heart attack this year as a result of myocardial ischemia; about 500,000 of those will be fatal. For approximately one third of patients, CAD is not diagnosed until after a heart attack occurs. Fortunately, treating known CAD has tremendous benefits. Both coronary artery revascularization and medical therapies significantly reduce the morbidity and mortality rates of CAD. Since CAD is common and deadly, but treatable if detected early, early diagnosis of the condition is critical. The diagnosis of CAD can be difficult to make."

But how does the BIOS know where the drives are located or what types they are? Floppy disk drives and hard disk drives are two of the most important items that must be configured in the BIOS. If the drive types are not correctly identified in the BIOS, the BIOS will not be able to start the system. Whenever you build a system or change major components, you need to run the BIOS setup program to check or change settings. Starting the Setup Program On most systems built since the late 1980s, the BIOS configuration program is stored in the BIOS chip itself. On a few current systems, as with the original IBM AT, the setup program must be run from a floppy disk drive or the hard drive. The original IBM PC and PC/XT had only a few settings, and these were made by manipulating a series of small rocker or slide switches called DIP switches. ROM-based setup programs are normally started by pressing one or more keys in combination within the first few seconds after turning on the computer. Although these keystrokes vary from system to system, the most popular keys on current systems include the escape (Esc) key, the Delete key, the F1 key, and various combinations of Ctrl+Alt+ another specified key."

It is not surprising that a definitive answer is elusive, since the topic is not static. Technologies and markets evolve, affecting not only what is technically feasible, but also what is commercially viable. Imager applications are varied, with different and changing requirements. Some applications are best served by CMOS imagers, some by CCDs. In this article, we will attempt to add some clarity to the discussion by examining the different situations, explaining some of the lesser known technical trade-offs, and introducing cost considerations into the picture. CMOS Sensors In the Beginning... CCD (charge coupled device) and CMOS (complementary metal oxide semiconductor) image sensors are two different technologies for capturing images digitally. Each has unique strengths and weaknesses giving advantages in different applications."

"text": "CMOS – complementary metal oxide silicon – RAM chips on motherboards Motherboards also include a separate block of memory made from very low power consumption CMOS (complementary metal oxide silicon) RAM chips, which is kept alive by a battery even when the PC’s power is off. This is used to store basic information about the PC’s configuration: number and type of hard and floppy drives, how much memory, what kind and so on. All this used to be entered manually, but modern auto-configuring BIOSes do much of this work, in which case the more important settings are advanced settings such as DRAM timings. The other important data kept in CMOS memory is the time and date, which is updated by a Real Time Clock (RTC). The CMOS memory is usually located with the real-time clock in the motherboard chipset or in a separate real-time clock chip. The PC reads the time from the RTC when it boots up, after which the CPU keeps time – which is why system clocks are sometimes out of sync. Rebooting the PC causes the RTC to be reread, increasing their accuracy. In modern-day PCs the nonvolatile BIOS memory is generally an EEPROM or Flash memory chip. There is still a backup battery involved, but its role is not to maintain the data stored in the RAM, only to keep the RTC chip operational.

In computing the term CMOS is often used to mean the non-volatile memory that stores motherboard BIOS information. This was called the CMOS RAM or just the CMOS because it usually used a low-power CMOS memory chip, powered by a small battery. The term remains common as nearly all modern computer components except the \"\"CMOS memory\"\" are constructed in CMOS technology. For the \"\"CMOS\"\", in modern computers, flash memory is usually used. CMOS, short for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor Is an MOS technology in which both P-channel and N-channel devices are fabricated on the same die CMOS is a widely used type of semiconductor. CMOS semiconductors use both NMOS (negative polarity) and PMOS (positive polarity) circuits. Since only one of the circuit types is on at any given time, CMOS chips require less power than chips using just one type of transistor.

"text": "\"Home Buying Guides Cameras & Photo Camcorders What Is the Difference Between a CCD and CMOS Video Camera?e Bay 5 Likes Like October 4, 2016When browsing an electronics store, buyers will notice video camera manufacturers that offer two types of image sensors: CCD and CMOS. These image sensors are used to produce the digital images during recording. Both types are made of silicon and use similar mechanisms to process images, but each type uses different technology to capture and transfer image signals, and some users find that there can be a significant difference between the end results. A CCD video camera and a CMOS video camera have different processing efficiencies, different qualities, different paired accessories, and are even different prices. Understanding how each type of sensor works and the strengths and weaknesses of each helps buyers determine the technology that is suitable for their video camera needs. CCD (Charged Coupled Device)The CCD video camera has been the go-to sensor since its development. In a CCD video camera, light hitting the image sensor is converted to an electrical signal. This electron packet must then be transferred one pixel at a time through an output node to an image processor, at which point it is converted to voltage. The voltage is then buffered and sent out from the chip as an analog signal. The CCD process involves an extra step over CMOS sensors (the transfer of each pixel to an image processor) and therefore requires more time and energy to process imagery."

Some of these BIOS settings include the system time and date as well as hardware settings. Most talk of CMOS involves clearing CMOS, which means to reset the BIOS settings to their default levels. This is a really easy task that's a great troubleshooting step for many types of computer problems. See How to Clear CMOS for several ways to do this on your computer.

Data stored in ROM can only be modified slowly, with difficulty, or not at all, so it is mainly used to store firmware ( software that is closely tied to specific hardware, and unlikely to need frequent updates) or application software in plug-in cartridges. Strictly, read-only memory refers to memory that is hard-wired, such as diode matrix and the later mask ROM (MROM), which cannot be changed after manufacture. Although discrete circuits can be altered in principle, integrated circuits (ICs) cannot, and are useless if the data is bad or requires an update."

To begin, the charges on the first row are transferred to a read out register . From there, the signals are then fed to an amplifier and then on to an analog-to-digital converter. Once a row has been read, its charges on the read-out register row are deleted. The next row then enters the read-out register, and all of the rows above march down one row. The charges on each row are \"\"coupled\"\" to those on the row above so when one moves down, the next moves down to fill its old space. In this way, each row can be read—one row at a time. The CCD shifts one whole row at a time into the readout register. The readout register then shifts one pixel at a time to the output amplifier. C CD technology is now about 25 years old."

Unlike traditional film cameras that record a light image on film (analog), digital cameras record discrete numbers on a flash memory card. As with all digital devices, there is a fixed, maximum resolution and number of colors that can be represented. Images are transferred to the computer with a USB cable, the memory card or wireless. Digital video cameras (see camcorder) may also use Fire Wire. Digital Advantages There are three advantages of digital cameras over their earlier analog counterparts. First, the image is viewable immediately and can be erased. Second, any single picture can be printed without having to develop an entire roll of film. Finally, the memory card \"\"film\"\" is reusable over and over. See film camera."

An example would be a user enters a fraction of 1/2 and it is stored as 0.5. Then when queried from the database it is then displayed as 1/2. Now that works just fine but what about repeating decimal values produced by fractions such as 1/3? Fortunately for me, I had one critical business rule where the fraction was not stored if the denominator was not a power of 2. This means the denominator will always be non-repeating. That topic is beyond the scope of this post but you can research base numbers for counting. If you are in need in solving the issue of repeating decimals you could implement it, in a finite condition, using a simple algorithm illustrated at http://www.basic-mathematics.com/converting-repeating-decimals-to-fractions.html.

There are many things to be aware of when working with money in an application, and there are a lot of best practices that should be consistently observed throughout your code base. In this tutorial I will be showing you what goes in to abstracting many of these best practices into a PHP package for working with Money. By abstracting this code into it’s own package we can drop it in to any PHP application that requires working with money. This means we don’t have to think about any of these implementation details in each application. I’m going to assume that you’ve already set up the package structure that adheres to the PSR-4 standard that I outlined in this tutorial. Working with Currency As I mentioned last week, managing different currencies will be an extremely important aspect of building an application that can handle international trade. There are many different types of currency in the world and there is a lot of data that we need for each type of currency.

"text": "Rational data type From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Some programming languages provide a built-in (primitive) rational data type to represent rational numbers like 1/3 and -11/17 without rounding, and to do arithmetic on them. Examples are the ratio type of Common Lisp, and analogous types provided by most languages for algebraic computation, such as Mathematica and Maple. Many languages that do not have a built-in rational type still provide it as a library -defined type. Contents1 Representation2 Language support2.1 Common Lisp2.2 Clojure2.3 Julia2.4 Haskell2.5 Perl 62.6 Racket (PLT Scheme)2.7 Ruby3 References Representation [ edit]A variable or value of that type is usually represented as a fraction m / n where m and n are two integer numbers, either with a fixed or arbitrary precision. Depending on the language, the denominator n may be constrained to be non-zero, and the two numbers may be kept in reduced form (without any common divisors except 1). Languages that support a rational data type usually provide special syntax for building such values, and also extend the basic arithmetic operations ('+', '−', '×', '/', integer powers) and comparisons ('=', '<', '>', '≤') to act on them — either natively or through operator overloading facilities provided by the language. These operations may be translated by the compiler into a sequence of integer machine instructions, or into library calls. Support may also extend to other operations, such as formatting, rounding to an integer or floating point value, etc.. As in mathematics, those languages often interpret an integer value as equivalent to a rational value with a unit denominator. Language support [ edit]Built-in or core library: C++ has included support for compile-time rational arithmetic in the form of the contents of its standard library 's <ratio>header since its 2011 revision. Clojure can perform arithmetic on rational numbers and offers a literal form to represent them."

All resistivity logs respond to real rocks as described here, and all petrophysical analysis procedures to determine water saturation, and hence hydrocarbon saturation, are based on the theories developed below. Since most sedimentary rock minerals are very poor conductors (or good insulators), how does electric current flow through a rock? Many investigations have shown that most of the current flows through the water in the pores and not through the rock material. Therefore, the manner in which currents flow through water must be examined. Pure water is also a very poor conductor. However, if salt is added to water, the solution becomes more conductive. Current is conducted through water by ions formed from the salt in solution in the water. The more ions present in the solution, the more conductive the solution will be. Since most natural waters in rocks contain salts of various kinds, the majority of natural waters are conductive."

There may be scenarios where the query expects input in a specific data type, but it receives it in a different data type. In such cases, Oracle implicitly tries to convert the unexpected value to a compatible data type which can be substituted in place and application continuity is not compromised. Type conversion can be either implicitly done by Oracle or explicitly done by the programmer. Implicit data type conversion works based on a matrix which showcases the Oracle's support for internal type casting. Besides these rules, Oracle offers type conversion functions which can be used in the queries for explicit conversion and formatting. As a matter of fact, it is recommended to perform explicit conversion instead of relying on software intelligence. Though implicit conversion works well, but to eliminate the skew chances where bad inputs could be difficult to typecast internally. Implicit Data Type Conversion A VARCHAR2 or CHAR value can be implicitly converted to NUMBER or DATE type value by Oracle. Similarly, a NUMBER or DATA type value can be automatically converted to character data by Oracle server."

Some things to note: An operator in C++ is just a function that is called with special notation (usually more intuitive or familiar notation). Overloading an operator simply involves writing a function. C++ already does some operator overloading implicitly on built-in types. Consider the fact that the + operator already works for ints, floats, doubles, and chars. There is really a different version of the + operator for each type.

Thus the only existing oceanic lithosphere is younger than about Jurassic in age and occurs at locations farthest from the oceanic spreading centers. Except in areas where magmatism is intense enough to build volcanic structures above sea level, most of the oceanic magmatism is difficult to access. Samples of rocks can be obtained from drilling, dredging, and expeditions of small submarines to the ocean floor. Numerous samples have been recovered and studied using these methods. Most of the magmatism is basaltic. Still, few drilling expeditions have penetrated through the sediment cover and into the oceanic lithosphere.

Here, we make use of extensive phenotype data in Iceland, long-range phased genotypes, and a population-wide genealogical database to examine the heritability of 11 quantitative and 12 dichotomous phenotypes in a sample of 38,167 individuals. Most previous estimates of heritability are derived from family-based approaches such as twin studies, which may be biased upwards by epistatic interactions or shared environment. Our estimates of heritability, based on both closely and distantly related pairs of individuals, are significantly lower than those from previous studies. We examine phenotypic correlations across a range of relationships, from siblings to first cousins, and find that the excess phenotypic correlation in these related individuals is predominantly due to shared environment as opposed to dominance or epistasis. We also develop a new method to jointly estimate narrow-sense heritability and the heritability explained by genotyped SNPs. Unlike existing methods, this approach permits the use of information from both closely and distantly related pairs of individuals, thereby reducing the variance of estimates of heritability explained by genotyped SNPs while preventing upward bias. Our results show that common SNPs explain a larger proportion of the heritability than previously thought, with SNPs present on Illumina 300K genotyping arrays explaining more than half of the heritability for the 23 phenotypes examined in this study. Much of the remaining heritability is likely to be due to rare alleles that are not captured by standard genotyping arrays."

These properties cause Oracle to treat values of one datatype differently from values of another. For example, you can add values of NUMBER datatype, but not values of RAW datatype. When you create a table or cluster, you must specify a datatype for each of its columns. When you create a procedure or stored function, you must specify a datatype for each of its arguments. These datatypes define the domain of values that each column can contain or each argument can have. For example, DATE columns cannot accept the value February 29 (except for a leap year) or the values 2 or 'SHOE'. Each value subsequently placed in a column assumes the datatype of the column. For example, if you insert '01-JAN-98' into a DATE column, then Oracle treats the '01-JAN-98' character string as a DATE value after verifying that it translates to a valid date."

Functions that get system Date and Time values All system date and time values are derived from the operating system of the computer on which the instance of SQL Server is running. Higher-Precision System Date and Time Functions SQL Server 2017 obtains the date and time values by using the Get System Time As File Time () Windows API. The accuracy depends on the computer hardware and version of Windows on which the instance of SQL Server is running. The precision of this API is fixed at 100 nanoseconds. The accuracy can be determined by using the Get System Time Adjustment () Windows API."

Pieter Tans and Kirk Thoning, NOAA Earth System Research Laboratory, Boulder, Colorado September, 2008. Updated December, 2016; March 2018PDF version Summary We have confidence that the CO 2 measurements made at the Mauna Loa Observatory reflect truth about our global atmosphere. The main reasons for that confidence are: The Observatory near the summit of Mauna Loa, at an altitude of 3400 m, is well situated to measure air masses that are representative of very large areas. All of the measurements are rigorously and very frequently calibrated. Ongoing comparisons of independent measurements at the same site allow an estimate of the accuracy, which is generally better than 0.2 ppm. Infrared absorption. How does the CO 2 analyzer work? Air is slowly pumped through a small cylindrical cell with flat windows on both ends. Infrared light is transmitted through one window, through the cell, through the second window, and is measured by a detector that is sensitive to infrared radiation."

To convert categorical variables to metric scales is not a simple task. There are some latent variable models (like IRT models) that, given certain assumptions hold, allow to do that. Another way is optimal scaling. But for this I suppose you must be willing to do things with R and delve into some advanced statistics like latent variable models or nonlinear PCA."

"text": "Pascal - Data Types Data types of an entity indicates the meaning, constraints, possible values, operations, functions and mode of storage associated with it. Integer, real, Boolean and character types are referred as standard data types. Data types can be categorized as scalar, pointer and structured data types. Examples of scalar data types are integer, real, Boolean, character, subrange and enumerated. Structured data types are made of the scalar types, for example, arrays, records, files and sets. We will discuss the pointer data types later. Pascal Data Types: Pascal data types can be summarized as below the following diagram: Type Declarations The type declaration is used to declare the data type of an identifier. Syntax of type declaration is:type - identifier - 1, type - identfier - 2 = type - specifier;For example, the following declaration defines the variables days and age as integer type, yes and true as Boolean type, name and city as string type, fees and expenses as real type.type days, age = integer; yes, true = boolean; name, city = string; fees, expenses = real;Integer Types Following table gives you detail about standard integer types with its storage sizes and value ranges used in Object Pascal: Type Minimum Maximum Format Integer -2147483648 2147483647 signed 32-bit Cardinal 0 4294967295 unsigned 32-bit Shortint -128 127 signed 8-bit Smallint -32768 32767 signed 16-bit Longint -2147483648 2147483647 signed 32-bit Int64 -2^63 2^63 - 1 signed 64-bit Byte 0 255 unsigned 8-bit Word 0 65535 unsigned 16-bit Longword 0 4294967295 unsigned 32-bit Constants Use of constants makes a program more readable and helps to keep special quantities at one place in the beginning of the program. Pascal allows numerical, logical, string and character constants. Constants can be declared in the declaration part of the program by specifying the const declaration."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search In computer programming, an enumerated type (also called enumeration, enum, or factor in the R programming language, and a categorical variable in statistics) is a data type consisting of a set of named values called elements, members, enumeral, or enumerators of the type. The enumerator names are usually identifiers that behave as constants in the language. An enumerated type can be seen as a degenerate tagged union of unit type. A variable that has been declared as having an enumerated type can be assigned any of the enumerators as a value. In other words, an enumerated type has values that are different from each other, and that can be compared and assigned, but are not specified by the programmer as having any particular concrete representation in the computer's memory; compilers and interpreters can represent them arbitrarily. For example, the four suits in a deck of playing cards may be four enumerators named Club, Diamond, Heart, and Spade, belonging to an enumerated type named suit. If a variable V is declared having suit as its data type, one can assign any of those four values to it. Although the enumerators are usually distinct, some languages may allow the same enumerator to be listed twice in the type's declaration. The names of enumerators need not be semantically complete or compatible in any sense. For example, an enumerated type called color may be defined to consist of the enumerators Red, Green, Zebra, Missing, and Bacon."

Macros are similar to Pascal procedures, except the procedure keyword is replaced by \"\"macro\"\" and the procedure heading is a text string that becomes a command in the Special menu when the macro is loaded. Macros are stored in text files that may also contain Pascal-like functions and procedures. Macros files are created and edited using Image 's built-in text editor. The best way to learn how to write your own macros is by studying and customizing the many example macros distributed with Image in the Macros folder. The documentation provided here assumes the reader has some Pascal programming experience. If this is not the case, you will probably need to read an introductory Pascal text book such as \"\"Programming in Pascal\"\" by Peter Grogono, or \"\"Oh! Pascal\"\" by Doug Cooper and Michael Clancy. There is also an \"\"alternative\"\" macro reference manual available from zippy.nimh.nih.gov/pub/nih-image/documents/macro_notes.hqx Here is an example macro file containing one macro and a function called by that macro. You can try the macro by copying the indented text to the Clipboard, pasting it into a blank NIH Image text window, selecting \"\"Load Macros from Window\"\" from the Special menu, and then selecting \"\"Do Exponentiation...

This Home Energy classic, originally printed in 1986, explains a simple way to take one air infiltration measurement and determine a home's average air infiltration rate. Many researchers have sought to develop a correlation between a one-time pressurization test and an annual infiltration rate. Translating blower door measurements into an average infiltration rate has bedeviled the retrofitter and researcher alike. The rate of air infiltration constantly varies, yet the pressurization test is typically a single measurement. Nevertheless, many researchers have sought to develop a correlation between a one-time pressurization test and an annual infiltration rate. ACH Divided by 20In the late 1970s, a simple relation between a one-time pressurization test and an average infiltration rate grew out of experimentation at Princeton University. For a few years, the correlation remained Princeton folklore because no real research supported the relationship. In 1982, J. Kronvall and Andrew Persily compared pressurization tests to infiltration rates measured with tracer-gas for groups of houses in New Jersey and Sweden."

It is named in honor of the French mathematician, philosopher and physicist Blaise Pascal. Pascal was developed on the pattern of the ALGOL 60 language. Wirth had already developed several improvements to this language as part of the ALGOL X proposals, but these were not accepted and Pascal was developed separately and released in 1970. A derivative known as Object Pascal designed for object-oriented programming was developed in 1985; this was used by Apple Computer and Borland in the late 1980s and later developed into Delphi on the Microsoft Windows platform. Extensions to the Pascal concepts led to the Pascal-like languages Modula-2 and Oberon.

Shortly after its introduction, in 1962 Wirth began working on his dissertation with Helmut Weber on the Euler programming language."

"text": "\"This article may require cleanup to meet Wikipedia's quality standards. The specific problem is: Too many examples of unclear relevancy; not enough references; problematic mentions of header files and multiple declarations Please help improve this article if you can. ( December 2013) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)In computer programming, a declaration is a language construct that specifies properties of an identifier: it declares what a word (identifier) \"\"means\"\". [ 1]Declarations are most commonly used for functions, variables, constants, and classes, but can also be used for other entities such as enumerations and type definitions. [ 1] Beyond the name (the identifier itself) and the kind of entity (function, variable, etc. ), declarations typically specify the data type (for variables and constants), or the type signature (for functions); types may also include dimensions, such as for arrays. A declaration is used to announce the existence of the entity to the compiler; this is important in those strongly typed languages that require functions, variables, and constants, and their types to be specified with a declaration before use, and is used in forward declaration. [ 2] The term \"\"declaration\"\" is frequently contrasted with the term \"\"definition\"\", [1] but meaning and usage varies significantly between languages; see below. Declarations are particularly prominent in languages in the ALGOL tradition, including the BCPL family, most prominently C and C++, and also Pascal. Java uses the term \"\"declaration\"\", though Java does not have separate declarations and definitions."

Well, I am certainly confused that to what extent you need the categorization of programming languages… When your question has no such boundation, let me articulate the answer in depth. So, what’s a programming language? A programming language is a formal computer language or constructed language designed to communicate instructions to a machine, particularly a computer. Programming languages can be used to create programs to control the behavior of a machine or to express algorithms. What are the various categories of programming languages? You will be surprised to know that programming languages can be categorized into 47 different types along with more sub-types."

A multi-threaded application is one that creates two or more threads of execution that work at the same time. If you are new to multi-threading, please read the paragraph \"\"Do you need multi-threading?\"\" to determine whether it is really required; this may save you many headaches. One of the threads is called the Main Thread. The Main Thread is the one that is created by the Operating System once our application starts. The Main Thread must be the only thread that updates the components that interfaces with the user: otherwise, the application may hang. The main idea is that the application can do some processing in background in a second thread while the user can continue working using the main thread. Another use of threads is just to have a better responding application. If you create an application, and when the user presses a button the application starts processing a big job... and while processing, the screen stops responding, and gives the user the impression that the application is frozen, a poor or misleading impression will be created."

"text": "Pascal - Functions Advertisements Previous Page Next Page Subprograms A subprogram is a program unit/module that performs a particular task. These subprograms are combined to form larger programs. This is basically called the 'Modular design.' A subprogram can be invoked by a subprogram/program, which is called the calling program. Pascal provides two kinds of subprograms −Functions − these subprograms return a single value. Procedures − these subprograms do not return a value directly. Functions A function is a group of statements that together perform a task. Every Pascal program has at least one function, which is the program itself, and all the most trivial programs can define additional functions. A function declaration tells the compiler about a function's name, return type, and parameters. A function definition provides the actual body of the function."

What are these languages used for? How can we categorize them in useful ways? These days, programming languages are becoming more and more general and all-purpose, but they still have their specializations, and each language has its disadvantages and advantages. Languages can generally be divided into a few basic types, though many languages support more than one programming style. This following list isn't all inclusive or as fine-grained as possible, but it brings out some of the basic design decisions behind languages. Language Types Procedural The programming style you're probably used to, procedural languages execute a sequence of statements that lead to a result. In essence, a procedural language expresses the procedure to be followed to solve a problem. Procedural languages typically use many variables and have heavy use of loops and other elements of \"\"state\"\", which distinguishes them from functional programming languages. Functions in procedural languages may modify variables or have other side effects (e.g., printing out information) other than the value that the function returns."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about the abstract data type. For the byte-level structure, see Array data structure. For other uses, see Array. Language support for array types may include certain built-in array data types, some syntactic constructions ( array type constructors) that the programmer may use to define such types and declare array variables, and special notation for indexing array elements. [ 1] For example, in the Pascal programming language, the declaration type My Table = array [1..4,1..2] of integer, defines a new array data type called My Table. The declaration var A: My Table then defines a variable A of that type, which is an aggregate of eight elements, each being an integer variable identified by two indices. In the Pascal program, those elements are denoted A [1,1], A [1,2], A [2,1] ,… A [4,2]. [2] Special array types are often defined by the language's standard libraries. Dynamic lists are also more common and easier to implement than dynamic arrays. Array types are distinguished from record types mainly because they allow the element indices to be computed at run time, as in the Pascal assignment A [I,J] := A [N-I,2*J]. Among other things, this feature allows a single iterative statement to process arbitrarily many elements of an array variable. In more theoretical contexts, especially in type theory and in the description of abstract algorithms, the terms \"\"array\"\" and \"\"array type\"\" sometimes refer to an abstract data type (ADT) also called abstract array or may refer to an associative array, a mathematical model with the basic operations and behavior of a typical array type in most languages — basically, a collection of elements that are selected by indices computed at run-time."

Reasons for using a naming convention (as opposed to allowing programmers to choose any character sequence) include the following: To reduce the effort needed to read and understand source code; [1]To enable code reviews to focus on more important issues than arguing over syntax and naming standards. To enable code quality review tools to focus their reporting mainly on significant issues other than syntax and style preferences. The choice of naming conventions can be an enormously controversial issue, with partisans of each holding theirs to be the best and others to be inferior. Colloquially, this is said to be a matter of dogma. [ 2] Many companies have also established their own set of conventions.

One archaeologist in the U. S. has become known for his study of the garbage discarded by the people of Tuscon, Arizona in the 1970s! This “garbology” project proved that even recent artifacts can reveal a lot about the people who used and discarded them. Over the past 150 years archaeologists have developed many effective methods and techniques for studying the past. Archaeologists also rely upon methods from other fields such as history, botany, geology, and soil science. In this section of Methods of Gathering Data you will learn how archaeologists gather and analyze information by utilizing historical research techniques, field methods for data recovery, and laboratory analyses. Back to top Historical Research Techniques Every archaeology project begins with a research design –a plan that describes why the archaeology is being done, what research questions it hopes to answer, and the methods and techniques that will be used to gather and analyze the artifacts and other archaeological materials. It will also outline where artifacts recovered from the project will be stored, and how the research will be reported and shared with the public.

Lusby Join Date Oct 2000Location Tucson, Arizona, United States Posts 397It has been said a honeybee hive provides an acceptable habitat for a wide diversity of mites; and that more than 86 species have been recorded in association with the different species of Apis and their nests. It has been said that these mites can be scavengers in the beehive, mites that feed on other mites in the beehive, mites that catch rides of foraging bees to go from flower to flower and place to place, and finally mites that live on our honeybees and their brood. We use various treatments on the last referenced mites above that live on our honeybees and their brood, to eradicate them, or at least bring their numbers down to acceptable levels. But what about the other mites in a natural beneficial host relationship within our colonies? Has treatment caused imbalance, triggering other problems associated with them we should be aware of? How does this relate to diseases of honeybees both internal and external? Regards Dee A.

Posts 2,560I dont recall reading about any research on any beneficial relationship other mite species have with bees. After seeing the ravages of T and V mites I,like most,am of the opinion that the fewer mites of any species the better. Of course that may just be because we have no information. Certainly chemical treatments will have an adverse effect on all mites,but we know they can never be eradicated this way."

The flag has two crimson bars in an X pattern that is similar to the St. Andrews Cross. There has been much debate since the creation of the flag over whether or not it is supposed to be rectangular or square shaped. It was not until 1987 that this matter was settled by then Attorney General Don Siegelman, who determined that since the flag had been reproduced so many times in the shape of a rectangle that it should continue in that manner from that point onwards. ALASKA STATE FLAGThe dark blue flag of Alaska was originally created in 1927 by thirteen year old John Bell Benson who submitted his design as part of a state-wide contest. Young Bensons’ flag beat out 142 other entrants, most of which are on display at the Alaska Historical Library & Museum. This beautiful flag contains eight gold stars, seven of which form the Big Dipper and the eighth is representative of the North Star. ARIZONA STATE FLAGThe magnificent setting sun flag of Arizona incorporates symbolism from both the past and the present. The yellow and red alternating stripes represent the original thirteen colonies and the star in the middle of the flag is copper in color to show Arizona’s status as the country’s largest producer of copper even today. The colors utilized are also symbolic, with the red and blue being the state colors of Arizona while the red and yellow are reminiscent of the Spanish influence on the state."

"text": "It almost became money: United States Notes versus Federal Reserve Notes John F. Kennedy vs The Federal Reserve Anthony Wayne On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid. When President John Fitzgerald Kennedy – the author of Profiles in Courage -signed this Order, it returned to the federal government, specifically the Treasury Department, the Constitutional power to create and issue currency -money – without going through the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank. President Kennedy’s Executive Order 11110 [the full text is displayed further below] gave the Treasury Department the explicit authority: “to issue silver certificates against any silver bullion, silver, or standard silver dollars in the Treasury.” This means that for every ounce of silver in the U. S. Treasury’s vault, the government could introduce new money into circulation based on the silver bullion physically held there. As a result, more than $4 billion in United States Notes were brought into circulation in $2 and $5 denominations. $10 and $20 United States Notes were never circulated but were being printed by the Treasury Department when Kennedy was assassinated."

"text": "\"How Long Does it Take to Immigrate to the United States? Introduction Immigrating to the United States is often a difficult process. In addition, there may be long delays due to backlogs. In order to maintain an orderly immigration process, the United States has established a waiting list system. While this makes for an orderly process, it can create backlogs of many years for certain countries and certain categories. Understanding how the system works will better allow you to estimate how long it will take a person to actually immigrate to the United States. It will also help you to understand why some people seem to immigrate quickly while others take much longer. Immediate Relatives and Preferences In order to understand the system, you must know that there are three major categories of people who can immigrate to the United States (See \"\" Would You Like to Immigrate to the United States?\"\" by Edward R. Litwin for more information.) Depending into which group a person falls will greatly affect how soon he or she can immigrate: 1."

Our expert Dan Taylor walks you through the latest protocols and answers some of your frequent questions in our latest overview. Read our latest review A Brief Background and Update Currently, there is no single designated governing organization that offers accreditation and regulation of CPR guidelines and curricula. However, the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR) was formed in 1992 as a collaborative effort to bring together organizations from around the world to discuss and review the most current research regarding resuscitation. The organizations that are part of ILCOR are: American Heart Association Australian and New Zealand Committee on Resuscitation European Resuscitation Council Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada Inter American Heart Foundation Resuscitation Council of Asia Resuscitation Council of Southern African ILCOR convenes twice a year, and every 5 years a new set of guidelines is released by the American Heart Association in partnership with ILCOR. The first set of guidelines was released in 2000, and the latest is expected to be released in October of 2015. The 2015 International Consensus Conference on CPR and ECC Science convened in Dallas, Texas, during the first week of February 2015. Over 200 members of ILCOR were present to finalize the discussion for the October release of the Concensus on Science with Treatment Recommendations (Co STR). The evidence-based Co STR is expected to be published online in the peer-reviewed scientific journals Resuscitation and Circulation. The American Heart Association and European Resuscitation Council will also publish CPR guidelines at that time."

If you missed For The Record ’s May 1, 2006, article on the technicalities of how to code excisional debridement, this is an excellent time to brush up. Because debridement is a significant RAC target, it would be financially injudicious to wait until after your facility has had to give back a pile of money before you pay close attention to the bevy of rules involving the correct use of this one little code. This article includes updated Coding Clinic directions that have been published in the interim and spotlights the targets RACs focus on. If you are confused by the changing—and even conflicting—rules regarding how to code debridement in ICD-9-CM, you are far from alone. The first challenge is to get the physician to document what tissue is being debrided. Then, with luck and queries and perhaps even flat-out begging, the physician may specify whether the debridement was excisional or nonexcisional. Even the term “excisional” causes debate among the physician staff."

"text": "\"Treatment of acute decompensated heart failure: General considerations Author: Wilson S Colucci, MD Section Editors: Stephen S Gottlieb, MD James Hoekstra, MD Deputy Editor: Susan B Yeon, MD, JD, FACCINTRODUCTIONAcute decompensated heart failure (ADHF) is a common and potentially fatal cause of acute respiratory distress. The clinical syndrome is characterized by the development of dyspnea, often associated with accumulation of fluid within the lung's interstitial and alveolar spaces, which is the result of acutely elevated cardiac filling pressures (cardiogenic pulmonary edema) [ 1 ]. ADHF can also present as elevated left ventricular filling pressures and dyspnea without pulmonary edema. ADHF is most commonly due to left ventricular systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction, with or without additional cardiac pathology, such as coronary artery disease or valve abnormalities. However, a variety of conditions or events can cause pulmonary edema due to an elevated pulmonary capillary wedge pressure in the absence of heart disease, including primary fluid overload (eg, due to blood transfusion), severe hypertension, and severe renal disease. General considerations related to the management of ADHF in patients with and without acute myocardial infarction (MI) will be reviewed here. The components of therapy of ADHF and the pathophysiology and evaluation of patients with ADHF are presented separately. ( See \"\"Treatment of acute decompensated heart failure: Components of therapy\"\" and \"\"Approach to acute decompensated heart failure in adults\"\" . ) Treatment of ADHF and cardiogenic shock in the setting of acute coronary syndrome are discussed separately. Management of right ventricular MI, which typically presents with hypotension and clear lungs, is also discussed separately. ("

"text": "\"Preventing Heart Disease: Watch Your Cholesterol By Chris Woolston At this very moment, your blood vessels are pulsing with the raw material that can cause a heart attack. Every drop of human blood contains cholesterol, a compound popularly referred to as a fat, which your body needs to form healthy cells and tissues. From birth on, your liver manufactures cholesterol, which is pushed out to the gut and reabsorbed back as part of a system for fat absorption. In addition, cholesterol in the food we eat gets absorbed into the body. When too much cholesterol accumulates in the bloodstream, it can build up in the coronary arteries and block the flow of blood to the heart. But cholesterol doesn't have to be a threat. With a few healthy lifestyle changes -- and a little help from your doctor -- you can lower your cholesterol levels and slash your risks for heart attack. What's a \"\"healthy\"\" cholesterol level? When a doctor checks your cholesterol level, he or she will usually do a test that's called a lipid panel, which includes measuring your total cholesterol and some of the other fats that are in the blood. This test requires a 14-hour fast to get an accurate reading of the blood fats."

"text": "\"Clinical features and diagnosis of acute limb ischemia Authors: Marc E Mitchell, MD Jeffrey P Carpenter, MD Section Editors: John F Eidt, MD Joseph L Mills, Sr, MD James Hoekstra, MD Deputy Editor: Kathryn A Collins, MD, Ph D, FACSINTRODUCTION AND DEFINITIONSAcute limb ischemia is defined as a quickly developing or sudden decrease in limb perfusion, usually producing new or worsening symptoms or signs, and often threatening limb viability [ 1 ]. Acute limb ischemia is overwhelmingly related to arterial occlusion, though extensive venous occlusion can lead to limb ischemia as well (ie, phlegmasia), but this is rare. The incidence of acute peripheral arterial occlusion causing acute limb ischemia is approximately 1.5 cases per 10,000 persons per year [ 2 ]. The clinical presentation depends upon the etiology and whether the patient has underlying peripheral artery disease. Patients who present later than two weeks after the onset of the acute event are considered to have chronic limb ischemia [ 3-5 ]. The management of acute arterial occlusion remains a challenge for vascular specialists. Surgical or catheter-based thromboembolectomy and bypass grafting have been the mainstays of therapy for many years [ 6 ]. Subsequently, thrombolytic therapy and percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) have become treatment options for selected patients [ 7,8 ]. Despite these advances, the morbidity, mortality, and limb loss rates from acute lower extremity ischemia remain high [ 9 ]. Thus, regardless of the treatment modality used, early diagnosis and rapid initiation of therapy are essential to provide the best chance for limb salvage."

They should be based upon the best available research evidence and practice experience. The Institute of Medicine (IOM) defines clinical practice guidelines as \"\"statements that include recommendations, intended to optimize patient care, that are informed by a systematic review of evidence and an assessment of the benefits and harms of alternative care options\"\" [ 1 ]. Based on this definition, guidelines have two parts:● The foundation is a systematic review of the research evidence bearing on a clinical question, focused on the strength of the evidence on which clinical decision-making for that condition is based. ● A set of recommendations, involving both the evidence and value judgments regarding benefits and harms of alternative care options, addressing how patients with that condition should be managed, everything else being equal.

The AHA Principles of Disease Management Footnotes References Figures & Tables Info & Metricse Letters AHA Policy Recommendationsdisease managementquality of care Private and public policymakers and health insurance plans increasingly are examining and introducing disease management programs to help treat chronic illnesses such as cardiovascular disease and stroke. The term disease management programs typically refers to multidisciplinary efforts to improve the quality and cost-effectiveness of care for select patients with chronic illness. This trend highlights the importance of assessing the clinical and public policy implications of this phenomenon from the perspectives of patients’ best interests and quality of care. To address the complex issues surrounding disease management, the American Heart Association (AHA) assembled a multidisciplinary Advisory Working Group on Disease Management in 2002 to offer ongoing guidance in this evolving area. The Advisory Working Group developed a working definition of disease management and established core principles for the application of disease management to cardiovascular disease and stroke, which are the subject of this report. A. Quality of Care The AHA is committed to improving the quality of care that is available to patients suffering from or at risk for cardiovascular disease and stroke through research, public education, advocacy, and the development and application of disease-specific, scientifically based standards and guidelines. The importance of efforts to improve quality of care is evident from many observations and reports, including the preeminent reports from the Institute of Medicine titled To Err Is Human 1 and Crossing the Quality Chasm: A New Health System for the 21st Century. 2 The Quality Chasm report outlines 6 key recommendations for addressing quality healthcare delivery from a systems perspective and calls for improvements in 6 dimensions of healthcare performance."

"text": "Educ/Trng AHA Releases 2015 CPR Guidelines Article Oct 15, 2015Print Version Fast but not too fast, and deep but not too deep. That’s the gently tweaked CPR compression guidance offered in the American Heart Association’s new 2015 guidelines for CPR and emergency cardiovascular care, just out in the Oct. 15 edition of Circulation. They’re minor changes, adding upper limits to existing parameters for rate and depth. The new compression rate is 100–120 a minute; previously it was “at least 100.”The new compression depth is 2–2.4 inches for adults and adolescents; it had been “at least 2 inches. ”Key data supporting the upper rate limit came from a 2015 study that found, with adjustments for compression fraction and depth, rates from 100–120 were associated with greatest survival to hospital discharge. 1 At more than 120, rescuers appeared to tire and not push as hard, decreasing circulation. The compression rate for pediatrics now mirrors that of adults, though standard CPR is still recommended over compression-only CPR in children. The depth limit was driven by a smaller study that suggested injuries could happen with compressions deeper than 2.4 inches. 2 But don’t stop pushing hard, the chair of the AHA’s Emergency Cardiovascular Care Committee says; “Ribs bend with chest compressions,” Clifton Callaway, MD, noted in a summary of the new guidelines, “and the ‘injury’ is usually very mild. It definitely is not life-threatening."

Guidelines from the American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) and the U. K. National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) indicate that lipid-lowering drugs have benefit for primary and secondary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) events. The evidence is strongest for statins. ACC/AHA, NICE, and U. S. Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines recommend statin therapy based on patients' risk of an ASCVD event, rather than treating to specific lipid levels. For patients with no previous ASCVD event, risk calculators should be used to determine the 10-year risk of ASCVD. The ACC/AHA guideline recommends starting moderate- to high-intensity statins if the risk is 7.5% or greater, whereas the NICE and USPSTF guidelines recommend statins if the risk is 10% or greater. Patients with known ASCVD should receive high-intensity statins unless they fall into special categories (e.g., older age) or do not tolerate high-intensity statins, in which case moderate-intensity statins are appropriate."

"text": "Peripheral Arterial Disease Amjad Al Mahameed, MDPublished: January 2009Contents Definition Peripheral arterial disease (PAD), cerebrovascular disease, and coronary artery disease (CAD) are the three major syndromes of atherothrombosis. Whereas luminal stenosis (or occlusion) and end-organ ischemia are late manifestations of this progressive process, the diagnosis of PAD is largely viewed as a measure of the individual's global systemic atherosclerotic burden. Thus, even the asymptomatic form of PAD is of great significance to both the patient and clinician. The discussion here will focus on lower extremity PAD. Back to Top Prevalence Figure 1: Click to Enlarge With an age-adjusted prevalence of approximately 12%, PAD affects at least 8 to 12 million Americans. 1,2 The disease prevalence increases with age and 12% to 20% of Americans age 65 and older (4.5 to 7.6 million) have PAD. As the population ages, the prevalence could reach 9.6 to 16 million in those age 65 and older and 19 million overall by 2050 ( Box 1 and Fig. 1 ). 1 Although PAD affects men and women equally, worse outcomes have been observed in diabetic women compared with diabetic men. Studies have suggested a disproportionately higher PAD prevalence among African Americans compared with non-Hispanic whites (odds ratio [OR], 2.3)."

Clinical Scenario A 62-year-old man presents to the emergency department with substernal chest pain and associated dyspnea. Changes on electrocardiography (ECG) are noted, and his first set of cardiac enzymes are mildly elevated. The medical team wonders if the patient should receive heparin in addition to aspirin. Clinical Question Do heparins (i.e., low-molecular-weight heparin [LMWH] and unfractionated heparin [UFH]) benefit patients with unstable angina and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)? Evidence-Based Answer Compared with standard therapy with aspirin, the use of heparin does not reduce mortality, the need for revascularization, and recurrent angina. Heparin does reduce the occurrence of myocardial infarction (MI; number needed to treat [NNT] = 33), defined as “typical chest pain associated with the appearance of new significant ECG changes and the subsequent elevation of serum cardiac enzymes beyond levels drawn at enrollment.” 1 Heparin use increases the incidence of minor bleeding (number needed to harm [NNH] = 17). 1Cochrane Abstract Background: Acute coronary syndrome represents a spectrum of disease that includes unstable angina and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)."

Although some common plans must be funded by April 15, other plans allow you a bit more time. Make sure you know the deadline for your type of retirement plan. Traditional and Roth IRAs You can make a contribution to a traditional individual retirement arrangement, or IRA, anytime up to and including the due date for your tax return. That means you have until April 15, 2014, to put money in your IRA and still count it as a contribution for 2013. This IRA rule holds true whether your contributions are deductible or nondeductible.

The bank guarantees an interest rate on the initial deposit for a certain amount of time. Typical term lengths for IRA CDs are six months to five years. Interest rates are usually higher for longer-term CDs and you may transfer them to other individual retirement accounts. You have the choice of establishing the CD as a traditional or Roth IRA. Maturity IRA certificate of deposit accounts have a maturity date, which is the date that the investment stops accruing interest. Many CDs mature before a young investor reaches retirement age.

You’ve contributed to an IRA—congratulations. The next step is to invest that money—and give it the potential to grow. Fidelity believes one of the best ways to do that over the long term is by investing as much as you are comfortable with in a diversified portfolio of stock mutual funds, ETFs, or individual stocks. As a general rule, the more time one has to save, the greater the percentage of money that could be allocated to stock mutual funds. And for those closer to retirement, a healthy allocation to stocks may still be appropriate.

"text": "\"Can You Borrow From Your IRA? By Carrie Schwab-Pomerantz June 19, 2013 6 min read Tweet A- A+Dear Carrie, I know you can borrow from a 401 (k), but can you also borrow from an IRA? And if so, could I take $3,000 out of my Roth and return it within 60 days without penalty? — A Reader Dear Reader, Let me start by saying that I always caution against taking money from your retirement accounts early — penalty or no penalty. The whole point of having a 401 (k) or an IRA is to prepare for the future. And now more than ever, we all have to make sure our financial futures are covered. However, I understand there are times when the ability to use your retirement funds for just a short time can make all the difference. And if you have no other options, it's possible to do just that-provided you follow all the rules to a tee. A rollover for 60 days or less You're right that you can take a five-year loan from many 401 (k) plans without penalty as long as you pay it back on time. An IRA doesn't have a similar loan provision, but you can access money from your IRA for a 60-day period with what is considered a tax-free rollover."

"text": "\"The Roth IRA 5 Year Rule What's the Roth IRA 5 year rule? This is a common question, and you need to know whether you're in your early 20's and just opening a Roth IRA or you're in your late 60's and looking to withdraw some retirement funds. Why do you need to know the Roth IRA 5 year rule? Because regardless of whether or not you've reached age 59 ½ yet, the IRS requires your Roth IRA meet one additional criteria before you can withdraw investment gains tax-free and penalty-free. And that, of course, is the point of a Roth IRA, right? ... To withdraw investment gains tax-free and penalty free. So what's that one additional criteria you need to meet before getting your hands on tax-free, penalty-free investment gains? You guessed it... It's called the Roth IRA 5 year rule. So what exactly is this Roth IRA 5 year rule you've heard about? How does it work?"

"text": "\"Eligibility for Roth IRA accounts Updated February 3, 2017Roth IRAs are personal savings plans that allow you to put away money for retirement. Although many people think the term “IRA” stands for “Individual Retirement Account” the term actually stands for “Individual Retirement Arrangement” according to the Internal Revenue Service. Traditional IRAs were created in 1974, as part of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, to help bridge a retirement gap because many workers were not receiving pension plans from their employers and Social Security benefits would not be enough to provide for a comfortable retirement. Roth IRAs followed in 1997 as part of the Taxpayer Relief Act. Roth IRAs are similar to traditional IRAs, with the biggest difference being that money paid into to a Roth IRA is taxed as it enters. This means you can withdraw funds from a Roth without having to pay taxes during your retirement. There are several other benefits and features of a Roth IRA that may help you decide if it is appropriate for you. Roth IRAs are flexible. Under certain conditions, you can take out your contributions at any time without paying taxes or incurring a penalty. Normally, you must hold the Roth account for five years or more at you must be at least 59 ½ years old to avoid paying taxes and penalties, but there are exceptions."

If you know much at all about your IRA, you’re probably aware that, generally, you must wait until after age 59½ before withdrawing funds from the account, or you’ll be subject to a 10% penalty in addition to the tax on the distribution. You may also be aware that there are several exceptions to this penalty – one of which is the use of a Series of Substantially Equal Periodic Payments. What we’re going to review in this article are the “other” exceptions; those specific situations that are uniquely identified by the IRS as not subject to the 10% penalty. Exceptions to the 10% Early Withdrawal Penalty Below are the specific exceptions that the IRS has identified that allow you to withdraw IRA money without the 10% penalty: Qualified Higher Education Expenses – you can withdraw your IRA funds to help pay for college expenses. Qualified Higher Education Expenses (QHEE) (oh my word, is there an acronym for EVERYTHING??) include tuition and related expenses at an eligible educational institution. Related expenses can include student-activity fees (only if paid to the institution) and books, materials and equipment, if purchased from the institution. Expenses that are not considered QHEE include insurance, medical expenses (including student health insurance fees), transportation, and other personal living expenses. Room and board is included as a QHEE if the student is at least a half-time student."

Don’t be. Fidelity’s got you covered. Here are the answers to some frequently asked questions regarding RMDs. General information What are minimum required distributions (MRDs)? Minimum required distributions, or MRDs, are mandatory, minimum yearly withdrawals that generally must be taken starting in the year you turn 70½. While there is a minimum amount you are required to withdraw in order to avoid severe penalties, you can always take more than the MRD amount. You generally have to take MRDs from any retirement account in which you contributed tax-deferred assets or had tax-deferred earnings. These accounts include: Traditional IRAs Rollover IRAs SIMPLE IRAs SEP IRAs Most Keogh accounts Most 401 (k) and 403 (b) plans Inherited IRAs have special rules for MRDs and the required distributions are time-sensitive, usually beginning in the year after the year of death of the original owner. If you have inherited an IRA, see MRD Rules for Inherited IRAs or call an inheritance specialist at 800-544-0003. Our Retirement Distribution Center can help you calculate and manage your MRDs."

The other half, on teenagers from outer space, will be covered next week. Anime fandom in America, at least in Los Angeles, was founded on the anime giant robot TV cartoons – the individual giant, almost godlike, robots that were heroes themselves; that could only be piloted by a specific human hero (or heroes in the case of two or more smaller robots combining into a huge one). From 1976 to the early 1980s, we watched over a dozen TV programs that were variations of this stereotype. We did not notice it when the first major change in this stereotype occurred. This was with Mobile Suit Gundam. The first episode was shown on Japanese TV in April 1979, but it was not shown on American TV. I think that we got our first video copies in early 1982. These TV cartoons really blossomed forth in the early 1980s. The difference was that these were called “real robot” programs with battle armor or battle suits, not “giant robots”."

The chronicler Kritovoulos reports that the sultan shed tears of compassion: ‘What a city we have given over to plunder and destruction.’. Priding himself as a new Constantine sitting on the throne of the Caesars, Mehmed the Conqueror repopulated his new capital and restaffed its bureaucracy partly with Greeks and Serbs. In his court, influenced by Persian as well as Byzantine traditions, he became an aloof autocrat surrounded by elaborate ceremony. The once migratory Ottomans, now based in Constantine’s city, proceeded to conquer a mosaic of nations similar in extent to Justinian’s empire. The Ottoman Empire let its Orthodox subjects keep their Christian religion and Greco-Roman laws – so long as they paid tribute, kept their churches inconspicuous so as not to offend Islamic eyes, and furnished levies for its armies and administration. This tithe in humans periodically took the most intelligent Christian Balkan boys … converted them to Islam, and drafted them into the elite army corps, the Janissaries, or trained them as court functionaries."

Dias’ ships rounded the perilous Cape of Good Hope and then sailed around Africa’s southernmost point, Cabo das Agulhas, to enter the waters of the Indian Ocean. Portugal and other European nations already had long-established trade ties to Asia, but the arduous overland route had been closed in the 1450s due to the Ottoman Empire’s conquest of the remnants of the Byzantine Empire. A major maritime victory for Portugal, Dias’ breakthrough opened the door to increased trade with India and other Asian powers. It also prompted Genoan explorer Christopher Columbus (1451-1506), then living in Portugal, to seek a new royal patron for a mission to establish his own sea route to the Far East."

In 1488, Dias proved that a sea trading route from Europe to Asia was possible. The coast of Africa often had terrible storms which often deterred explorers. But with some luck and skill, Dias navigated these waters to open a new way to reach India from Europe. Biography Early Life Very little is known about Bartolomeu Dias’ (also spelled Bartholomew Diaz) early life. He was born in 1450 near Lisbon, Portugal. 1He was raised in a noble family, so he may have received a good education. By his mid-thirties, Dias worked in the Portuguese royal court in charge of the crown’s warehouse goods. 2 Although he grew up in the mighty seafaring nation of Portugal, there is no detailed account of how Dias gained his sailing experience. He took a trip with a nobleman named Diogo de Azambuja in 1481."

In the process, Europeans encountered peoples and mapped lands previously unknown to them. Among the most famous explorers of the period were Christopher Columbus, Vasco da Gama, Pedro Álvares Cabral, John Cabot, Juan Ponce de León, and Ferdinand Magellan. The Age of Exploration was rooted in new technologies and ideas growing out of the Renaissance, these included advances in cartography, navigation, and shipbuilding. The most important development was the invention of first the Carrack and then caravel in Iberia. These that were a combination of traditional European and Arab designs were the first ships that could leave the relatively passive Mediterranean and sail safely on the open Atlantic. The Santa Maria at anchor by Andries van Eertvelt, painted c. 1628The first great wave of expeditions was launched by Portugal under Prince Henry the Navigator. Sailing out into the open Atlantic the Madeira Islands were discovered in 1419 and in 1427 the Azores were discovered and both became Portuguese colonies. The main project of Henry the Navigator was exploration of the West Coast of Africa. For centuries the only trade routes linking West Africa with the Mediterranean world were over the Sahara Desert."

A few years later, Vasco de Gama reached India by sailing around Southern Africa.

Tordesillas line depicted, Biblioteca Estense, Modena The Age of Discovery, or the Age of Exploration (approximately from the beginning of the 15th century until the end of the 18th century) is an informal and loosely defined term for the period in European history in which extensive overseas exploration emerged as a powerful factor in European culture and was the beginning of globalization. It also marks the rise of the period of widespread adoption in Europe of colonialism and mercantilism as national policies. Many lands previously unknown to Europeans were discovered by them during this period, though most were already inhabited. From the perspective of many non-Europeans, the Age of Discovery marked the arrival of invaders from previously unknown continents. Global exploration started with the Portuguese discoveries of the Atlantic archipelagos of Madeira and the Azores, the coast of Africa, and the discovery of the sea route to India in 1498; and, on behalf of the Crown of Castile (Spain), the trans-Atlantic Voyages of Christopher Columbus between 1492 and 1502, and the first circumnavigation of the globe in 1519–1522. These discoveries led to numerous naval expeditions across the Atlantic, Indian and Pacific oceans, and land expeditions in the Americas, Asia, Africa and Australia that continued into the late 19th century, and ended with the exploration of the polar regions in the 20th century. European overseas exploration led to the rise of global trade and the European colonial empires, with the contact between the Old World (Europe, Asia and Africa) and the New World (the Americas and Australia) producing the Columbian Exchange; a wide transfer of plants, animals, food, human populations (including slaves ), communicable diseases and culture between the Eastern and Western Hemispheres. This represented one of the most-significant global events concerning ecology, agriculture and culture in history. The Age of Discovery and later European exploration allowed the global mapping of the world, resulting in a new world-view and distant civilizations coming into contact, but also led to the propagation of diseases that decimated populations not previously in contact with Eurasia and Africa and to the enslavement, exploitation, military conquest and economic dominance by Europe and its colonies over native populations."

The first film was the highest-grossing film of 1985 and became an international phenomenon, leading to the second and third films, which were back-to-back film productions, released in 1989 and 1990, respectively. Though the sequels did not perform quite as well at the box office as the first film, the trilogy remains immensely popular after 30 years and has yielded such spinoffs as an animated television series and a motion-simulation ride at the Universal Studios Theme Parks in Universal City, California; Orlando, Florida; and Osaka, Japan (all now closed), as well as a video game.

"text": "Arts & Humanities History What impact did the camera have on society?any facts or history too, or places i could find this information. thanks Follow 2 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Introduction It would be hard to imagine a technology that had more impact on 20th century life than photography: the automobile, the airplane, nuclear power, all of these were higher profile than photography, yet in day-to-day terms, photography was truly the most pervasive. Here the effect that photography has had on 20th century society will be discussed in four distinct areas: amateur photography (making everyone a photographer), advertising photography (creating desire in the public), journalistic/editorial photography (informing and entertaining the public), and documentary photography (recording the lives of real groups of people). Background To imagine a social world before photography, we would have to think of a world without picture IDs; without portraits of ordinary people (or schoolchildren); one without pictures as souvenirs of travel; one without celebrity pictures; one without advertising photographs; one without X-rays or views of outer space; a world without views of foreign and exotic peoples; one without pictures of sports, wars, and disasters; and one in which the great masses of people had no way to visually document the important events of their lives. Such a world is unimaginable to us now, and we have photography to thank for all these things: visual souvenirs, portraits of common folk as well as the famous, advertising pictures that have created desire in the public and educated them about all the products the new consumer culture has on offer, medical diagnostic tools, incredible views of exotic places and even of outer space, pictures of the world’s news, and most important, pictures of the events and intimate moments of one’s own life. The technology of photography is part chemical, part optical, and dates from 1839. Soon after its simultaneous invention by William Henry Fox Talbot in England and Louis Jacques Mandé Daguerre in France, photography was used to document foreign places of interest such as India, the Holy Land, and the American West. It was also used for portraits with photographs taken of kings, statesman, and theater or literary personalities. During the 19th century, however, cameras were mainly in the hands of professionals or self-educated entrepreneurs who tried photography as a trade. Interestingly, photography has never required professional licensing or guild membership (with the exception of Talbot’s unsuccessful attempt to sell licenses early after his invention)."

"text": "\"41 Ingeniously Smart Inventions of the 1920s You Should Know About There were numerous inventions in 1920s that were beneficial for society. Antibiotics like penicillin were produced in this period. Americans remember the 1920s as a period which heralded the era of modern lifestyle and consumerism. The \"\"Roaring Twenties\"\", as the decade of 1920 is known, was one of the most optimistic and boisterous period of time for many Americans. The World War I had come to an end, and due to the boom in the consumer-goods industry, new products were available to Americans. The period was also a time of inventions and discoveries, and many new gadgets and appliances came into being in this decade. Eskimo Pie (1920)Inventor: Christian Nelson The popular Eskimo Pie ice cream was first manufactured by Christian Nelson in 1920, a chocolate-covered vanilla ice cream wrapped in a foil. It is believed that Nelson got the idea for Eskimo Pie when he saw an indecisive boy thinking whether to go for a chocolate, or an ice cream. Nelson teamed up with Russell Stover to produce the Pie on a massive scale, and the duo achieved considerable profit from its sales. Today, Eskimo Pie is marketed in USA by Nestlé."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search\"\"Daguerrotype\"\" redirects here. For the 2016 film, see Daguerrotype (film). Daguerreotype of Louis Daguerre in 1844 by Jean-Baptiste Sabatier-Blot The Daguerreotype ( / d ə ˈ ɡ ɛr ə ˌ t aɪ p, - r oʊ -, - r i ə -, - r i oʊ -/; [1] [2] [3] French: daguerréotype) process, or daguerreotypy, was the first publicly available photographic process, and for nearly twenty years it was the one most commonly used. Invented by Louis-Jacques-Mandé Daguerre and introduced worldwide in 1839, [4] [5] [6] daguerreotype was almost completely superseded by 1860 with new, less expensive processes yielding more readily viewable images. During the past few decades, there has been a small revival of daguerreotypy among photographers interested in making artistic use of early photographic processes. To make the image, a daguerreotypist would polish a sheet of silver -plated copper to a mirror finish, treat it with fumes that made its surface light sensitive, expose it in a camera for as long as was judged to be necessary, which could be as little as a few seconds for brightly sunlit subjects or much longer with less intense lighting; make the resulting latent image on it visible by fuming it with mercury vapor; remove its sensitivity to light by liquid chemical treatment, rinse and dry it, then seal the easily marred result behind glass in a protective enclosure. The image is on a mirror-like silver surface, normally kept under glass, and will appear either positive or negative, depending on the angle at which it is viewed, how it is lit and whether a light or dark background is being reflected in the metal. The darkest areas of the image are simply bare silver; lighter areas have a microscopically fine light-scattering texture. The surface is very delicate, and even the lightest wiping can permanently scuff it. Some tarnish around the edges is normal."

"text": "Regardless of how short or long your eyelashes are, if they don't naturally sweep upwards then they're highly likely to look shorter than they really are. Perming straight eyelashes to encourage a gentle curl will give them instant length and create the illusion of bigger, brighter, ultra feminine eyes. Anyone with a particularly busy schedule will appreciate the low-maintenance nature of the eyelash perm. This semi-permanent treatment eliminates the need for eyelash curlers for up to six weeks, making the eyelash perm the perfect pre-holiday treat and a popular option for big events like parties, weddings, proms and photo-shoots. An eyelash perm is a face-enhancing beauty treatment designed to give straight eyelashes an attractive upwards curl without the daily need for eyelash curlers.

Why? Because when you move out , the landlord may charge you for “damages” to the unit. What defines damages is often contested. The move-in-checklist (here) will help identify what the unbit was like when you moved in. General rule of thumb – are you leaving the unit in the same condition as when you moved in? Again take pictures and have the landlord or property manager agree to the condition. Normal Wear and Tear is vague term and means different things to different people. So protect yourself.

I'm sure that even in the distant past cloth material was used as diapers (just like for children) on adults who needed them. Later sheets of tissue paper were used inside rubber pants. The first commercial children's cloth diapers were produced by Maria Allen in 1887, but It wouldn't be until 1949 that Johnson and Johnson produced the first commercial cloth type Adult Diaper.

Farnsworth and he knew very little about electronic theory. Three years earlier his family had moved to a farm in Idaho. The farm had electricity. Philo became fascinated with it and one day when his father and several adults were puzzling over why their farm generator had stopped, Philo surprised everyone by stepping in and repairing the generator. Philo loved to experiment by building electric motors in an attic loft that soon became his own inventor’s lab. One night in the dead of winter Philo read an article about the possibility of combining radio and motion pictures and transmitting this new media instantly into homes just as radio was now doing. He had read science fiction accounts that used spinning mirrors, but they didn’t seem to be fast enough to capture the light of a moving image. Philo pondered the problem for months and in a moment had an inspiration – why not capture light in a jar and transmit it in a series of individual lines of electron beams. You could magnetically deflect each line one at a time so that together they would form a moving picture."

One of the most remarkable and novel discoveries in the last 400 years is electricity. One may ask, “Has electricity been around that long?” The answer is yes and perhaps much longer, but the practical use of electricity has only been at our disposal since the mid to late 1800s. One of the early electrical attractions that gained public attention was an electrically illuminated bridge over the Seine River during the 1900 World’s Fair in Paris. The use of electricity may go back much farther. While constructing a new railway in 1936 near Baghdad, workers uncovered what appeared to be a prehistoric battery. The discovery was known as the Baghdad or Parthian battery (see Figure 1) and was believed to be 2000 years old, dating back to the Parthian period [The Parthian empire existed in what is now Iran from 247 BC-224 AD. — Ed .].

When you think about many of country’s couples, you may think they seem perfect. Thoughts of Faith Hill and Tim Mc Graw come to mind, not to mention the 35-year marriage of Johnny Cash and June Carter Cash. These couples seem to have it all. Their stories seem to be those of Cinderella, with beautiful meetings, exotic proposals and happily-ever-afters. Though this may be true for some, not all start out as picture perfect as you may think. “Well, go get that rock that your birth certificate’s carved on and let’s get this over with,” was how Marty Stuart proposed to Connie Smith. They say one key ingredient to their successful relationship is laughter, which is very apparent after watching them together.

In addition to the bedroom, we had a sitting room on the porch and another one on the side. Had it been warmer, we likely would have used the sitting room on the porch. Marty and Gaile (that's the way you spell Gaile, by the way!) were fantastic and attentive hosts. We really enjoyed getting to know them and the staff, all of whom were wonderful. We had breakfast and dinner here all three days, which were absolutely *stellar*. We had different meals all three nights, which included scallops, shrimp pesto, stuffed chicken w/ wild rice, and the figgy piggy. All were truly wonderful. They also had a bar that included a wide array of wine and liquor."

They were hooked on the legend as kids. Now, Upper Peninsula brothers Rick and Marty Lagina could be writing a 200-year-old mystery’s final chapters on History Channel’s The Curse of Oak Island. “Hey, you’re the guy from that show.” The voice comes from down the stairs, where a man in work clothes spattered with paint and wood stain is finishing trim work in Marty Lagina’s mammoth Tuscan-inspired winery-to-be on Michigan’s Old Mission Peninsula. Marty actually passed him 15 minutes earlier on the way down the stairs. But the time in between down and up has apparently helped him place Marty’s face. “Oak Island, right?” the man says, now confident he’s got the right guy. Marty halts his step in a way that suggests he knows what’s coming next. The man switches into celebrity fan mode, forgetting for a moment the work Lagina is paying him to do."

A new timeline was created, and most things that they originally witnessed in 2015 never existed. Contents [ show]Original timeline By this time in history, technology had progressed as much during the 30 years since 1985 as it had during the previous 30 years from 1955 to 1985. Electronics were in virtually everything from clothing to garbage cans to make them move, talk and/or make electronic noises. Flying cars, once they were invented and perfected, had become so common that drivers no longer needed roads — except perhaps for short journeys. Skyways dominated the skies of central California and eventually the entire world. Cultural influences from other countries, particularly Japan, were more often seen in food and clothing. Life was lived at a quicker pace than before, in evidence by the speed that people walked down the street, the time it took to cook dinner, and the swiftness of court trials. Hill Valley underwent a period of gentrification, or revitalization of its downtown."

"text": "Remember when Adam Sandler did Shakespeare? In “Billy Madison” the title character does a bit of “Hamlet.” Now Sandler is channeling the Bard again by portraying a female character in the new comedy “Jack and Jill.” He actually performs two roles, identical twin siblings, which was also not uncommon in Shakespeare’s time, I think. Though certainly not at the same time. But he’s getting more attention for taking on the sister part, Jill, because he makes a rather unattractive woman, and not just physically. Back in the Elizabethan era only men could act and so they had to take on both male and female parts. Since the dawn of cinema, this hasn’t been the case, and therefore not a whole lot of cross-gender performances have made it to the big screen, relatively speaking anyway. Some people would say there are still too many. I’m not talking about actors playing men who end up in drag, a la “Mrs. Doubtfire” or “Tootsie.”"

Note: It is Doc's intention to go \"\"25 years into the future\"\" (on Oct 26th 1985) which would be the year 2010, but he is not able to travel through time at this point because he is chased down and caught by the Libyans before he manages to key this date in. Nobody knows the exact date that Doc went to because we're never told, all we know is that Doc found out about the trouble that Marty's family was in and backtracked it all to the robbery in 2015 Back to the Future 2 So Then, in the second movie Doc and then Marty traveled from 1985 to the future October 21, 2015, and then back to 1985. Back to the Future 3 In the third movie Marty and Doc traveled back further, to the past, to 1885.

On March 2, 1955, she was arrested for refusing to give up her seat on a bus in segregated Montgomery, Alabama, nine months prior to Rosa Parks ' famous arrest for the same offense. Colvin was among the four plaintiffs originally included in the federal court case filed by civil rights attorney Fred Gray on February 1, 1956, as Browder v. Gayle, and she testified before the three-judge panel that heard the case in the United States District Court. On June 13, 1956, the judges determined that the state and local laws requiring bus segregation in Alabama were unconstitutional. The case went to the United States Supreme Court, which upheld their ruling on December 17, 1956. Colvin was the last witness to testify. Three days later, the Supreme Court issued an order to Montgomery and the state of Alabama to end bus segregation, and the Montgomery Bus Boycott was called off. For many years, Montgomery's black leaders did not publicize Colvin's pioneering effort because she was a teenager who was reportedly impregnated by a married man. However, she actually did not become pregnant until later. [ 2]Colvin said, \"\"Young people think Rosa Parks just sat down on a bus and ended segregation, but that wasn't the case at all.\"\" ["

"text": "The Montgomery bus boycott changed the way people lived and reacted to each other. The American civil rights movement began a long time ago, as early as the seventeenth century, with blacks and whites all protesting slavery together. The peak of the civil rights movement came in the 1950’s starting with the successful bus boycott in Montgomery Alabama. The civil rights movement was lead by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who preached nonviolence and love for your enemy. “Love your enemies, we do not mean to love them as a friend or intimate. We mean what the Greeks called agape-a disinterested love for all mankind. This love is our regulating ideal and beloved community our ultimate goal. As we struggle here in Montgomery, we are cognizant that we have cosmic companionship and that the universe bends toward justice. We are moving from the black night of segregation to the bright daybreak of joy, from the midnight of Egyptian captivity to the glittering light of Canaan freedom”explained Dr. King. In the Cradle of the Confederacy, life for the white and the colored citizens was completely segregated."

The tropical seasonal forest has more or less densely growing trees which lose their leaves during the dry season. The savanna is a grassland with individual trees or groups of trees dotting the landscape. If you look at the climate diagrams to the right, you will see that the temperature regime is the same for both; with average annual temperatures over 20� C . Rainfall can vary from less than 50cm/year to almost 300 cm/year . Savannas would occupy the dryer part of this range. The figure to the left was taken at the Santa Rosa National Park in Costa Rica . This park has a typical tropical seasonal forest, and gets about 130 cm of rain per year. The rainfall is highly seasonal; with most of the rain falling in the months from May to November, May being both the end of the dry season and the wettest month overall, at least in the year pictured here. This strong seasonality of rainfall is characteristic of the tropical seasonal forest."

Called \"\"the mother of the civil rights movement,\"\" Parks' refusal to give up a seat on a Montgomery, Ala., bus to a white person in the segregated South is thought to be the beginning of the public fight for equal rights. Parks died Monday evening at her home of natural causes, with close friends by her side, said Gregory Reed, an attorney who represented her for the past 15 years. She was 92. Parks was arrested and fined for violating a city ordinance, but her act of defiance began a movement that ended legal segregation in America, and made her an inspiration to millions. A massive bus boycott that lasted a little over a year put the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., a then-unknown 26-year-old, into the national spotlight for the first time. Rosa Parks was born Rosa Louise Mc Cauley in Tuskegee, Ala., to James Mc Cauley, a carpenter, and Leona Mc Cauley, a teacher, on Feb. 4, 1913. At the age of 2, she moved to her grandparents' farm in Pine Level, Ala., with her mother and younger brother, Sylvester.

It was a seminal event in the Civil Rights Movement. The campaign lasted from December 5, 1955—the Monday after Rosa Parks, an African American woman, was arrested for refusing to surrender her seat to a white person—to December 20, 1956, when a federal ruling, Browder v. Gayle, took effect, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws that segregated buses were unconstitutional.

I will give some information on them. On this day (December 13, 2005), Stanley ‘Tookie’ Williams was executed by lethal injection by the State of California. He deserved to die for what he did and there is no way, I would honor him for writing children’s’ books. I will post some quotes from the victims’ families and several articles from different people who felt he must die. Summary: In the early morning hours of February 28, 1979, Williams and three friends were riding around in two cars, smoking PCP-laced cigarettes, looking to \"\"make some money.\"\" After making two unsuccessful restaurant and liquor store robbery attempts, they eventually went to a 7-Eleven store where 26 year old Army veteran and father of two, Albert Lewis Owens, was working the overnight shift and sweeping the parking lot. Armed with a shotgun, Williams led Owens to the back room of the store. While one of the companions emptied the cash register drawer and took $120, the defendant ordered Owens to get on his knees and then shot him twice in the back with the shotgun."

"text": "\"Rosa Parks The Woman Who Changed a Nation By Kira Albin, interview conducted in 1996 Photos courtesy of Monica Morgan Photography and Zondervan Publishing House When Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat to a white man forty years ago on December 1, 1955, she was tired and weary from a long day of work. At least that's how the event has been retold countless times and recorded in our history books. But, there's a misconception here that does not do justice to the woman whose act of courage began turning the wheels of the civil rights movement on that fateful day. Rosa Parks was physically tired, but no more than you or I after a long day's work. In fact, under other circumstances, she would have probably given up her seat willingly to a child or elderly person. But this time Parks was tired of the treatment she and other African Americans received every day of their lives, what with the racism, segregation, and Jim Crow laws of the time. \"\" Our mistreatment was just not right, and I was tired of it,\"\" writes Parks in her recent book, Quiet Strength, (Zondervan Publishing House, 1994). \"\" I kept thinking about my mother and my grandparents, and how strong they were. I knew there was a possibility of being mistreated, but an opportunity was being given to me to do what I had asked of others. \"\" The rest of Parks' story is American history...her arrest and trial, a 381-day Montgomery bus boycott, and, finally, the Supreme Court's ruling in November 1956 that segregation on transportation is unconstitutional."

Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Cast2.1 Changes and notes2.2 Cast roster3 Writers4 Episodes5 References History [ edit]In 1974, NBC Tonight Show host Johnny Carson requested that the weekend broadcasts of \"\"Best of Carson\"\" (officially known as The Weekend Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson) come to an end (back then, The Tonight Show was a 90-minute program), so that Carson could take two weeknights off and NBC would thus air those repeats on those nights rather than feed them to affiliates for broadcast on either Saturdays or Sundays. Given Carson's undisputed status as the king of late-night television, NBC heard his request as an ultimatum, fearing he might use the issue as grounds to defect to either ABC or CBS. To fill the gap, the network drew up some ideas and brought in Dick Ebersol – a protégé of legendary ABC Sports president Roone Arledge – to develop a 90-minute late-night variety show. Ebersol's first order of business was hiring a young Canadian producer named Lorne Michaels to be the show-runner. ["

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from NFL on television)navigation search Television booth at Raymond James Stadium The television rights to broadcast National Football League (NFL) games are the most lucrative and expensive rights of any American sport. Television brought professional football into prominence in the modern era after World War II. Since then, National Football League broadcasts have become among the most-watched programs on American television, and the financial fortunes of entire networks have rested on owning NFL broadcasting rights. This has raised questions about the impartiality of the networks' coverage of games and whether they can criticize the NFL without fear of losing the rights and their income. Since the 1960s, all regular season and playoff games broadcast in the United States have been aired by national television networks. Until the broadcast contract ended in 2013, the terrestrial television networks CBS ($3.73B), NBC ($3.6B) and Fox ($4.27B) — as well as cable television's ESPN ($8.8B) — paid a combined total of US$20.4 billion [1] to broadcast NFL games. From 2014 to 2022, the same networks will pay $39.6 billion for exactly the same broadcast rights. [ 2] The NFL thus holds broadcast contracts with four companies ( CBS Corporation, Comcast, 21st Century Fox and The Walt Disney Company / Hearst Corporation, respectively) that control a combined vast majority of the country's television product. League-owned NFL Network, on cable television, also broadcasts a selected number of games nationally. In 2017, the NFL games attracted the top three rates for a 30-second advertisement: $699,602 for NBC Sunday Night Football, $550,709 for Thursday Night Football (NBC), and $549,791 for Thursday Night Football (CBS).

"text": "Donald Trump gets twice as much news coverage as the other candidates for president. Cable networks broadcast his rallies and news conferences end-to-end, he’s mentioned nightly on late night comedy shows, and he even hosted “Saturday Night Live” in November. His rivals aren’t the only ones asking: What happened to the equal time rule?“Every single media outlet covered his entire news conference on Tuesday night live and did not even mention the fact that Ted Cruz edged out John Kasich for second place in Michigan and won Idaho,” complained one of his vanquished rivals, Carly Fiorina, on MSNBC on Thursday. Also Read: How Jeff Zucker Turned Donald Trump From a Reality Star to a Frontrunner (Video)Whether news outlets should cover Trump more than other candidates is an open question. But they are well within their rights to do so because the equal time rule — often mentioned and rarely understand — does not apply to news. The question is: Should it?“Obviously, the rule was originally written in a totally different information environment,” Robert Thompson, the director of the Belier Center for Television & Popular Culture at Syracuse University’s Newhouse School, told The Wrap. The rule dates to 1927, long before the era of round-the-clock cable news. And it didn’t anticipate a candidate like Trump, who erases the already thin line between news and entertainment. An FCC official told The Wrap: “Most of the Communications Act is from 1934. It had updates in the ’80s and ’90s, but the vast bulk predates the digital age.”"

Over the summer, we lost a few key players ( Taran Killam, Jay Pharoah, and Jon Rudnitsky) and gained a few new faces ( Mikey Day, Alex Moffat, and Melissa Villaseñor ), but as the season premiere revealed, things have stayed largely the same in Studio 8H. Still, season 42 isn’t any ol’ season of SNL: We are smack dab in the middle of an election year (and a particularly crazy election year, at that). Although plenty of political comedy shows have emerged over the past 42 years, few hold as much weight as SNL. It may not be the edgiest political comedy on the air, but it is undoubtedly one of the most influential, often managing to permeate political opinion in a way that actually affects how we perceive American politics. When we think Sarah Palin, we think Tina Fey and “I can see Russia from my house.” When we think Gerald Ford, we think Chevy Chase and his constant klutziness. And when we think George W. Bush, we think Will Ferrell and “strategery.” ( It’s also the reason so many people were ticked off when Donald Trump hosted last year, arguing his invitation to host was basically an endorsement for president. ) There’s a reason why everyone gets so excited when SNL starts back up again during an election year. The best SNL political sketches don’t just point out funny things that happen in politics; they actually help us see our politicians in a new light, for better or worse (usually for worse)."

However, Tennessee is the only state to have major battles or skirmishes fought in every single county. [ 2] [3] Tennessee was the last of the Southern states to declare secession from the Union as a substantial portion of the population were against secession, but saw more than its share of the devastation resulting from years of warring armies criss-crossing the state. Its rivers were key arteries to the Deep South, and, from the early days of the war, Union efforts focused on securing control of those transportation routes, as well as major roads and mountain passes such as the Cumberland Gap. Tennessee was also considered \"\"the Bread Basket\"\" of the Confederacy, for its rich farmland that fed both armies during the war. A large number of important battles occurred in Tennessee, including the vicious fighting at the Battle of Shiloh, which at the time was the deadliest battle in American history (it was later surpassed by a number of other engagements). Other large battles in Tennessee included Stones River, Chattanooga, Nashville, and Franklin. Tennessee was one of the most divided states in the country at the outset of the war. Before the bombardment of Fort Sumter, Tennessee was actually staunchly pro-Union, though there were still a few secessionist hot beds in the western portion of the state."

Agriculture Tennessee Tennessee Agribusiness Well-Known Tennessee Sausage Companies Reflect on Humble Beginnings By Brandon Lowe - March 15, 2012STATE HOME Ag Education Ag Products Agribusiness Agritourism Family Farms Local Magazine When Harold Williams, founder of the West Tennessee-based Williams Sausage Company, first began selling sausage in 1958, he boasted a modest operation through which he sold small amounts of sausage to a handful of individuals and families. In fact, the operation was so small that Harold’s wife Hazel actually hand-sewed the cloth bags in which the sausage was sold. Flash forward more than half a century, though, and Williams Sausage has become a multi-million dollar company whose products are consumed in nearly 40 states spanning across the country. In fact, the company just finished a two-year, $16 million project in which 40,000 square feet was added to its existing processing facility in Union City, Tenn. The recent success of Williams Sausage demonstrates just how viable sausage processing is as an industry in Tennessee. “I guess you could say we’ve managed to stay up with the times,” says Roger Williams, Harold and Hazel’s son, and currently the president of the Williams Sausage Company. Williams Sausage produces whole-hog country sausage in chubs, links, patties and in breakfast sandwiches, a line of products that is similar to those produced by a handful of other Tennessee-based sausage companies, the majority of which have a similar homegrown history to that of Williams. “There were dozens of companies that started as small family operations,” says Harry Womack, who served as vice president of quality assurance and product development for Sara Lee until his 1995 retirement. Womack began his career with Rudy’s Farm Sausage, a Nashville-based sausage company with a history that mirrors that of Williams Sausage. “When most of these companies started, raising hogs was an everyday thing for Tennessee farmers,” he says. “ People in Tennessee have grown up eating and producing sausage."

Of the major battles of the war, Stones River had the highest percentage of casualties on both sides. Although the battle itself was inconclusive, the Union Army 's repulse of two Confederate attacks and the subsequent Confederate withdrawal were a much-needed boost to Union morale after the defeat at the Battle of Fredericksburg, and it dashed Confederate aspirations for control of Middle Tennessee. Union Maj. Gen. William S. Rosecrans 's Army of the Cumberland marched from Nashville, Tennessee, on December 26, 1862, to challenge General Braxton Bragg 's Army of Tennessee at Murfreesboro. On December 31, each army commander planned to attack his opponent's right flank, but Bragg struck first. A massive assault by the corps of Maj. Gen. William J.

He previously was Speaker of the House of Representatives (1835–1839) and Governor of Tennessee (1839–1841). A protégé of Andrew Jackson, he was a member of the Democratic Party and an advocate of Jacksonian democracy. During Polk's presidency, the United States expanded significantly with the annexation of the Republic of Texas, the Oregon Territory, and the Mexican Cession following the American victory in the Mexican–American War. After building a successful law practice in Tennessee, Polk was elected to the state legislature (1823) and then to the United States House of Representatives in 1825, becoming a strong supporter of Jackson. After serving as chairman of the Ways and Means Committee, he became Speaker in 1835, the only president to have been Speaker. Polk left Congress to run for governor; he won in 1839, but lost in 1841 and 1843. He was a dark horse candidate for the Democratic nomination for president in 1844; he entered his party's convention as a potential nominee for vice president, but emerged as a compromise to head the ticket when no presidential candidate could secure the necessary two-thirds majority."

Jackson was the first president not born an aristocrat, and as “citizen president” he was loved by many ordinary Americans despite his controversial record on many policies. One of Jackson’s biographiers, James Parton, even commented that normal Americans thought of him “before all other living men”. He had less political experience than any President that had come before him, but like George Washington had won favour by winning battles against the British, in particular the Battle of New Orleans. While he was President the opposition feared he might become a dictator, branding him “King Arthur I” as an insult, but at the same time Jackson tried to be a flag-bearer for expanding democracy and was known for saying “the people are sovereign”. Historically the period of his Presidency is important as one where “Jacksonian Democracy” developed and the republic become a popular democracy. Early Years At his birth, Andrew was little more than the third son of an immigrant farmer family living in the Waxhaw settlement on the boundary between North and South Carolina. While the new world offered promise to immigrants, this promise seemed like it had been cut short for the family when his farther suddenly died. Despite this tragedy, Jackson was able to attend school in the Waxhaws."

Audie Leon Murphy, born June 20, 1925*, son of poor Texas sharecroppers, rose to national fame as the most decorated U. S. combat soldier of World War II. Among his 33 awards and decorations was the Medal of Honor, the highest military award for bravery that can be given to any individual in the United States of America, for \"\"conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty.\"\" He also received every decoration for valor that his country had to offer, some of them more than once, including 5 decorations by France and Belgium. Credited with either killing over 240 of the enemy while wounding and capturing many others, he became a legend within the 3rd Infantry Division. Beginning his service as an Army Private, Audie quickly rose to the enlisted rank of Staff Sergeant, was given a \"\"battle field\"\" commission as 2nd Lieutenant, was wounded three times, fought in 9 major campaigns across the European Theater, and survived the war. During Murphy's 3 years active service as a combat soldier in World War II, Audie became one of the best fighting combat soldiers of this or any other century. What Audie accomplished during this period is most significant and probably will never be repeated by another soldier, given today's high-tech type of warfare. The U. S. Army has always declared that there will never be another Audie Murphy. On 21 September, 1945, Audie was released from the Army as an active member and reassigned to inactive status."

"text": "\"How Tennessee became the \"\"Volunteer\"\" State When Tennessean James K. Polk was elected to the Presidency in 1844, he followed through on his campaign promise to annex the Independent Republic of Texas into the United States. Although officially recognized by England and France as well as the U. S., Mexico disputed Texas sovereignty and immediately withdrew her representatives from Washington, D. C. President Polk dispatched General Zachary Taylor to advance the American Army to the Rio Grande across from the City of Matamoros. Polk , however, was a master at the art of intrigue and always hedged his bets with emissaries trying to negotiate peaceful settlements. His forays into Mexican- held California and New Mexico laid the groundwork for American expansion to the coast of the Pacific. In the midst of the brewing problems in Mexico, he led a successful diplomatic assault on Great Britain’s claims to Oregon territory and purchased the property to prevent the British from laying claim to the California territories, which he desperately wanted in order to establish a \"\"Golden Gate\"\" trade with the emerging Asian nations. The Mexican Government, however, recognized the expansionist policies and refused to see Polk’s envoy sent to negotiate a peaceful settlement. The action prompted Mexico to take an aggressive stand against the American soldiers on the Rio Grande. What would follow would affect not only Texas and the United States, but would forever change the way people looked at the state of Tennessee. In April 1846, Ranking Mexican General Mariano Arista was ordered to push the American troops back across the Nueces River. He dispatched the order to Taylor stating that Mexico rightfully claimed the disputed territory."

"text": "April First, The Assyrian New Year By Homer Ashurian April 1st is the Assyrian New Year. It is the most important national festival handed down thru history from the remote past. The Assyrians of today all over the world celebrate this day as their national festival. Before Assyrians embraced Christianity in the first century A. D., and according to the ancient calendar, the New Year was celebrated on what would be the 21st of March. This date then and as it does now is the very beginning of spring. Centuries before the fall of the Assyrian Empire in 612 BC when its power and civilization spread all over the Middle East, other nations like Medes, Persians, and Arabs adopted and celebrated the 21st of March as the New Year for all the ancient world. After the Assyrians converted to Christianity in the first century and the Gregorian calendar was established in the Christian world,Assyrians also accepted the new calendar and moved their New Year from March 21st to April 1st. Today Iranians and people of Iraq (Arabs and Kurds) today celebrate this day on March 21st. In Iran the New Years Day is called “No Ruz” meaning “New Day”. In 1968, Assyrian Universal Alliance (AUA) designated this day as the official national day for Assyrians all over the world."

At the same time, the study also helps in tracing the development of technology for the making of clothing over human history. The wearing of clothing is exclusively a human characteristic and is a feature of most human societies. It is not known when humans began wearing clothes but anthropologists believe that animal skins and vegetation were adapted into coverings as protection from cold, heat and rain, especially as humans migrated to new climates. Clothing and textiles have been important in human history. They reflect the materials available in different civilizations at different times."

There’s a reason lawmakers both love and hate it. By Sam Stein, Ryan Grim, and Matt Fuller XContent loading.. WASHINGTON ― In 1996, Purdue Pharma introduced a new painkiller it said carried a low risk of abuse or addiction. It called the drug “Oxy Contin. ”In reality, of course, Oxy Contin was extremely addictive — and Purdue knew it. A decade later, three Purdue executives, and the company itself, pleaded guilty to criminal charges tied to Oxy Contin’s marketing and agreed to pay more than $600 million in fines. But the executives dodged prison time, and the prosecution did little to slow the rise of opioid use. The pharmaceutical industry had spent the past 10 years and billions of dollars pushing the medical community to ramp up the use of Oxy Contin and other opioids. By 2013, the number of annual opioid prescriptions, including short term and multiple, had nearly tripled, topping 200 million — in a country of just over 300 million people. Use of Oxy Contin and other opioids grew to crisis levels."

C. However, it was not until the Neolithic period dated approximately 7,000 - 3,000 B. C. that Greek civilisation grew and flourished. Many remains of settlements and burial chambers of this period have been discovered in Thessaly, Macedonia and the Peloponnese. The first urban centres appeared during the Bronze Age (3,000-1100 B. C.) Evidence of these have been found all over modern day Greece, for example, in some North Eastern Aegean islands, the Cycladic islands, Crete and the Greek mainland. During the Minoan period in Crete (approximately, 2nd millennium B. C.) a more sophisticated, organised society developed with a culture specific to that region. The first scripts were invented and communication opened up between the Minoans and people from the East Mediterranean countries. This led to an exchange of culture and ideas which became not only established as part of Minoan culture but spread to influence cultures, religion and government all over the Aegean islands and mainland Greece. During this time Crete became the main exporter of jewellery, skilled craftworks, oil and wine as well as importers of food and raw materials. It was during this time in Crete that the first major mercentile navy was developed. This state of affairs continued until around 1500 B. C. when the tragic destruction of Crete occurred due to the eruption of the volcano of Santorini. The Mycenaeans, based on the Greek mainland were able to take advantage of this collapse of Cretan culture and established themselves as the leading force throughout the Aegean in the last centuries of the 2nd millennium B. C. Their cities in Mycenae, Pylos, Tiryns, Thebes, Iolkos and Athens became the bureaucratic centres of their vast kingdom."

"text": "Download September 4, 2012 | Amy Traub, Tamara Draut, David Callahan Home ownership is commonly understood as the quintessential marker of having arrived in the middle class: a family’s home is often the single largest asset that they own and has traditionally served as an important vehicle for wealth accumulation and economic security. Today, however, middle class neighborhoods are under assault from foreclosure. Approximately 29 percent of all families owe more on their home than the property itself it worth. If this trend continues, an estimated 14 million homes – 1 out of every 4 in the United States – will face foreclosure before the housing crisis is resolved. 1This large-scale upheaval will continue to devastate not only the families displaced from their homes but also the communities left behind in their wake – spikes in home vacancy lead not only to an increase in crime and social disorder 2 but also a decrease in nearby property values, eroding the tax base for local municipalities and threatening the solvency of the essential public services necessary for a middle class life. 3 In addition, the loss of housing wealth reduces consumer’s ability to spend and retards the economic recovery. Today more than ever, American households need the leg up they never received: the middle class cannot continue to survive, much less grow, so long as local communities continue to decay and household assets are allowed to deteriorate. An effective reform of U. S. housing policy must achieve two goals: allow families to refinance their mortgages under more affordable terms, and expand credit availability for those looking to purchase a home who cannot access a mortgage in today’s excessively tight market. 4Unfortunately, the current political debate over housing policy has remained confined to a false choice between two unacceptable options: we must either let the market adjust itself, or offer voluntary incentives to encourage private lenders to modify distressed mortgages. 5 The first of these options is unacceptable for the sheer devastation to American families and communities that it entails; the second has already proven far too timid of a response to address the depth of the problem before us."

"text": "Romance languages, group of related languages all derived from Vulgar Latin within historical times and forming a subgroup of the Italic branch of the Indo-European language family. The major languages of the family include French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and Romanian, all national languages. Catalan also has taken on a political and cultural significance; among the Romance languages that now have less political or literary significance or both are the Occitan and Rhaetian dialects, Sardinian, and Dalmatian (extinct), among others. Of all the so-called families of languages, the Romance group is perhaps the simplest to identify and the easiest to account for historically. Not only do Romance languages share a good proportion of basic vocabulary—still recognizably the same in spite of some phonological changes—and a number of similar grammatical forms, but they can be traced back, with but few breaks in continuity, to the language of the Roman Empire. So close is the similarity of each of the Romance languages to Latin as currently known from a rich literature and continuous religious and scholarly tradition that no one doubts the relationship. For the nonspecialist, the testimony of history is even more convincing than the linguistic evidence: Roman occupation of Italy, the Iberian Peninsula, Gaul, and the Balkans accounts for the “Roman” character of the major Romance languages. Later European colonial and commercial contacts with parts of the Americas, of Africa, and of Asia readily explain the French, Spanish, and Portuguese spoken in those regions. Romance languages Distribution of Romance languages in Europe. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. General considerations Origins and distribution The name Romance indeed suggests the ultimate connection of these languages with Rome: the English word is derived from an Old French form of Latin Romanicus, used in the Middle Ages to designate a vernacular type of Latin speech (as distinct from the more learned form used by clerics) as well as literature written in the vernacular."

Generally speaking, in the northern hemisphere, September is considered the fall while in the southern hemisphere, September would be considered spring. However, the equinox marks the changes of seasons and September 22nd or 23rd is the normal date for the equinox. Therefore, prior to the equinox, September is technically summer in the northern hemisphere and changes to fall at the equinox.

The Bank of England only became a British public institution at the end of WW2 in 1946. One of the earliest Companies, and one of the few to survive across the centuries, it is difficult today to envisage it being run for by private shareholders today. It was the goldsmiths of London who ironically would be the first producer’s of anything resembling a bank note. There was a run on the Bank that threatened it’s survival and forced the bank to rely upon rescue by the House of Rothschilds shipping into Falmouth and paying Gold Sovereigns in to the Bank’s coffers the same day. It seems the Bank of England’s history has not been as steady and straightforward as we might imagine? The Bank is today a cornerstone of British economic management, the guardian of the wealth of a nation but how did that come to be? Find out with this concise summary of the timeline of events that led to the Bank of England as we know it today.17th Century Bank of England founded 1694The Bank was founded by Royal Charter in 1694, following the Glorious Revolution of 1688.

Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Jackson, Miss., U. S. State capitol building (front) and the cityscape of Jackson, Miss., U. S.© Sean Pavone/Dreamstime.com Mississippi Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Mississippi is smaller than most of the U.

Mississippi is naturally well suited to agriculture; its soil is rich and deep, and its landscape is laced with many rivers. Until the mid-20th century the dominance of a rural, unhurried lifestyle generally worked to the state’s advantage. This way of life was manifest in part in a culture of gentility, the legacy of which is still evident in the many historic mansions located in such old towns as Columbus, Biloxi, Natchez, Vicksburg, and Holly Springs. Mississippi, U. S.: Longwood mansion Longwood, an antebellum mansion in Natchez, Miss., U. S. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. With increasing urbanization and industrialization, however, the leisurely approach to life in many ways became a hindrance to Mississippi’s economic and social development.

"text": "A BRIEF HISTORY OF TRANSPORTBy Tim Lambert Ancient Transportation The first form of transport was, of course, Shanks pony (the human foot!). However people eventually learned to use animals for transport. Donkeys and horses were probably domesticated between 4,000 and 3,000 BC (obviously the exact date is not known). Camels were domesticated slightly later between 3,000 and 2,000 BC. Meanwhile about 3,500 BC the wheel was invented in what is now Iraq. At first wheels were made of solid pieces of wood lashed together to form a circle but after 2,000 BC they were made with spokes. The earliest boats were dug out canoes. People lit a fire on a big log then put it out and dug out the burned wood. About 3,100 BC the Egyptians invented the sailing boat. They were made of bundles of papyrus reeds tied together."

"text": "\", May 27, 2002Introduction In the summer of 1993, Samuel Huntington published an article entitled “The Clash of Civilizations?” in the journal Foreign Affairs. The article generated more controversy than any other article in the journal since the 1940s. And Huntington says it stirred up more debate than anything else he wrote during that time. Three years later Samuel Huntington published a book using a similar title. The Clash of Civilizations and the Remaking of World Order came on the market in 1996 and became a bestseller, once again stirring controversy. Given the events of the last year, it seems worthy to revisit his comments and predictions, since in many ways he seems as accurate as an Old Testament prophet. His thesis is fairly simple. In the future, world history will be marked by conflicts between three principal groups: western universalism, Muslim militancy, and Chinese assertion. Huntington says that in the post-Cold War world, “global politics has become multipolar and multicivilizational.” {"

Although the boycott was originally planned to last only one day, the organizers of the boycott, led by Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., decided to extend it until the practice of public transportation segregation was outlawed. The boycott ended 381 days later, on December 20, 1956, the day the city of Montgomery received a court order demanding immediate integration of the buses.

Martin Luther King, Jr. did many things to bring greater equality to America and to ensure civil rights for all people regardless of race. The major things that Martin Luther King did were to: Bring publicity to major civil rights activities and efforts Emphasize and encourage the importance of non-violent protest and resistance. Provide leadership to the African-American civil rights movement These two things came to shape the civil rights movement, in large part because of King's contributions and achievements. King's Contributions and Accomplishments Martin Luther King, Jr. was a well-known civil rights leader and activist who had a great deal of influence on American society in the 1950s and 1960s. His strong belief in non-violent protest helped set the tone of the movement. Boycotts, protests, and marches were eventually effective, and much legislation was passed against racial discrimination. Assassinated in 1968, King’s brief life was filled with many great accomplishments, in which he worked to promote the equal treatment of all races; his non-violent approach to protesting, his legions of followers, and his true belief in the ability of mankind to live in peace went a long way toward advancement of civil rights during that tumultuous time in history. King’s accomplishments are numerous."

The ensuing struggle lasted from December 5, 1955, to December 21, 1956, and led to a United States Supreme Court decision that declared the Alabama and Montgomery laws requiring segregated buses unconstitutional. The protest was triggered by the arrest of African American seamstress Rosa Parks on December 1, 1955. She was charged for violating racial segregation laws in Montgomery, Alabama, after refusing to give her seat on a bus to a white man."

"text": "You probably think you know the story of Rosa Parks, the seamstress who refused to move to the back of the bus in Montgomery, Ala., 60 years ago—on Dec. 1, 1955—and thus galvanized the bus boycott that was a defining moment in the American civil rights movement. You also probably think you know what she looks like — from her mugshot most likely, or a picture of her being fingerprinted, or perhaps a later photo of her seated, looking out the window, on an integrated bus. But those three images are often taken out of context and, more importantly, only tell part of the story, according to historian Jeanne Theoharis, distinguished professor of political science at Brooklyn College and author of The Rebellious Life of Mrs. Rosa Parks The mugshot and finger-printing images often used to illustrate stories about her stand on the bus were actually taken months afterward, after she presented herself for arrest when Montgomery criminalized the carpools that the city’s black community was using to orchestrate the bus boycott. The bus image meanwhile was staged at a later date; the man sitting in the seat behind her is a reporter. While it’s not good that many people might assume those first two images came from Dec. 1, 1955—when there were no reporters or cameras around—the bigger issue, Theoharis says, is that they show her as a passive, quiet, accidental player in the civil rights struggle rather than the life-long activist she really was. And the problems with the pictures can be seen as a metaphor for the problems with the whole story of Rosa Parks. At this point, many people do know that Parks was active with her local NAACP chapter and was not merely a tired woman who wanted to rest her feet. But, Theoharis explains, even that expanded version of the Rosa Parks story is incomplete—and the flawed story that is often celebrated by the nation has implications that echo through the six decades between then and now. It is, Theoharis says, a “fable” purposefully designed to communicate a lesson to Americans, even if that lesson doesn’t do justice to the truth. “I purposefully use the word fable and not myth because I think fables give morals, they tell us things that we’re supposed to learn."

"text": "The Montgomery bus boycott changed the way people lived and reacted to each other. The American civil rights movement began a long time ago, as early as the seventeenth century, with blacks and whites all protesting slavery together. The peak of the civil rights movement came in the 1950’s starting with the successful bus boycott in Montgomery Alabama. The civil rights movement was lead by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., who preached nonviolence and love for your enemy. “Love your enemies, we do not mean to love them as a friend or intimate. We mean what the Greeks called agape-a disinterested love for all mankind. This love is our regulating ideal and beloved community our ultimate goal. As we struggle here in Montgomery, we are cognizant that we have cosmic companionship and that the universe bends toward justice. We are moving from the black night of segregation to the bright daybreak of joy, from the midnight of Egyptian captivity to the glittering light of Canaan freedom”explained Dr. King. In the Cradle of the Confederacy, life for the white and the colored citizens was completely segregated."

"text": "Rosa Parks Biography Rosa Louise Mc Cauley Parks (1913 – 2005) was an African American civil right’s activist and seamstress whom the U. S. Congress dubbed the “Mother of the Modern-Day Civil Rights Movement”. Parks is famous for her refusal on 1 December 1955, to obey bus driver James Blake’s demand that she relinquish her seat to a white man. Her subsequent arrest and trial for this act of civil disobedience triggered the Montgomery Bus Boycott, one of the largest and most successful mass movements against racial segregation in history, and launched Martin Luther King, Jr ., one of the organisers of the boycott, to the forefront of the civil rights movement. Her role in American history earned her an iconic status in American culture, and her actions have left an enduring legacy for civil rights movements around the world. Early life Rosa Parks Rosa Louise Mc Cauley was born in Tuskegee, Alabama, on February 4, 1913. Her ancestors included both Irish-Scottish lineage and also a great grandmother who was a slave. She attended local rural schools, and after the age of 11, the Industrial School for Girls in Montgomery. However, she later had to opt out of school to look after her grandmother. As a child, Rosa became aware of the segregation which was deeply embedded in Alabama."

Expand all | Collapse all Methods Classifications Leaders, partners, allies, elites Joining/exiting order of social groups Opponent, Opponent Responses, and Violence Success Outcome The yearlong boycott of Montgomery, Alabama’s city buses by between 40,000 and 50,000 African American residents was in the works for years before it began in December 1955. At that time in Montgomery, as well as in many cities across the southern United States, laws required African Americans to sit at the back of buses and yield their seats to white passengers if no other seats were available. Montgomery’s Women’s Political Council (WPC), founded in 1946, was working to end segregation on city buses well before the start of the boycott. On May 21, 1954, WPC president Jo Ann Robinson wrote in a letter to the Mayor, “there has been talk from twenty-five or more local organizations of planning a city-wide boycott of buses. ”In the spring of 1955, Claudette Colvin, 15 years old, was arrested for challenging Montgomery bus segregation. In the fall of that year, police arrested Mary Louise Smith after she refused to yield her seat to a white passenger. On December 1, 1955, Rosa Parks, a leader in the African American community in Montgomery and in the local chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), refused to give up her seat on a Montgomery bus to a white passenger. Due to her stature in the African American community in Montgomery, Parks’ arrest served as the spark for the Montgomery bus boycott."

It began to fade from the public eye a decade later, following the formation of the original Black Panther Party in Lowndes County. During the intervening years, Alabama was the site of some of the most defining events of the civil rights era. These events transformed the state and profoundly changed America. Rosa Parks Boards a Desegregated Bus Black protest started long before the civil rights movement emerged and continued long after it stopped receiving front-page headlines. African Americans in Alabama began fighting for basic civil and human rights as soon as slavery ended in 1865, and they continue to fight for these rights today. Although they have adjusted their tactics to fit the times, their goals have changed very little. They have fought consistently for social autonomy, quality education, political power, and an acceptable standard of living. They have also fought to end racial terrorism and to enjoy the fruits of their own labor. On the continuum of black protest, however, the 1950s and 1960s were unique."

"text": "Rosa Parks & the Montgomery Bus Boycott The Perfect Candidate24 hours after her arrest, Rosa Parks was bailed out of jail by Edgar Nixon, president of the NAACP and her friend, and long time employer, Clifford Durr. Nixon spent the better part of that night conferring with a professor named Jo Ann Robinson from the Alabama State College. Jo Ann Robinson was a member of the Womens Political Council and quickly generated over 35,000 copies of a flyer announcing a boycott of the buses. This Rosa Parks bus boycott became a key strategic piece to turning the opinion of the public bus companies. The NAACP, and particularly its president, Edgar Nixon backed both Parks and the MIA in their plans to stage a boycott. Nixon felt that they had finally found a subject worthy of being in the middle of a civil rights uprising. Parks was a good, upstanding, married, and employed citizen who was politically, yet quietly, active in her community. Rosa was quickly brought to trial on the aforementioned charges, along with one for disorderly conduct. The trial was short, lasting only one half of an hour and she was found guilty on all charges. Her total fines and court costs were $14."

"text": "Montgomery Bus Boycott The Montgomery Bus Boycott of 1954-55 was a non-violent protest which involved A frican-American citizens refraining from using the Montgomery busline in Alabama. What caused this were the Jim Crow laws, the segregation within the bus system and Rosa Parks' arrest. As a result of the boycott, desegregation of public tra nsport came into place, as well as the development of non-violent protest theory, and the rise of Martin Luther King Jr. The Jim Crow Laws were based on race and were put into place in the late 1800s a nd early 1900s, after the Civil War. These laws included the segregation of Blac ks and whites using seperate public places and services such as, schools, restro oms and resturants. These laws were mainly in the Southern areas as these laws w ere also heavily immersed within their society during that time. In Alabama, pas senger stations had seperate waiting rooms and seperate ticket windows for the t wo races. In Florida, white children and Black children were to be taught in se perate schools. Segregation was also apparent within transportation - more speci fically - the buses. There were bus laws which segregated the ways Blacks and whites may use transpor t. The mehtod of segregation on Montgomery buses was that Black people were to b e seated at the back and white people at the front. Whites would fill rows start ing from the front and the Blacks would fill from the back rows, and when the ro ws met it would mean a full bus."

"text": "Significance Of Montgomery Bus Boycott The significance of Montgomery Bus Boycott is highlighted as it altered the way the protests were done during the Civil Rights Movement. It was crucial non-violent event that helped furthering the cause of the movement and in addition, it also helped other civil rights groups to evolve. The boycott was one of the first victories for the Civil Rights Movement, and it showed that not just the African Americans living in Montgomery could travel in public transport as equals, but also the African Americans in other parts of the country. In addition, with ruling of the US Supreme Court that segregation in Montgomery buses was unlawful, it showed that one of the statutes in the Jim Crow law was also unlawful. Hence, people began thinking whether all the laws under the main Jim Crow law were unlawful. The Montgomery Bus Boycott led to changes in the constitution with the Civil Rights Act of 1957 as well as 1964. Both these acts allowed all African Americans the right to cast their ballot and also prevented discrimination against African Americans and women. These 2 acts paved for a new era of equality within the US. All the states in the US had to follow these acts. The verdict of the US Supreme Court also helped in reinforcing other cases and this proved a great help in furthering the cause of the Civil Rights Movement."

Before the Boycott Before 1955, segregation between the races was common in the south. This meant that public areas such as schools, rest rooms, water fountains, and restaurants had separate areas for black people and white people. This was also true of public transportation such as buses and trains. There were areas where black people could sit and other areas where white people could sit.

She was already sitting down and was in the row closest to the front for black people. When the bus began to fill up, the driver told the people in Rosa's row to move back in order to make room for a white passenger."

"text": "\"Articles by the Staff of the King Papers Project The Unexpected Emergence of Martin Luther King, Jr. It would have happened without him, but Martin Luther King Jr. gave the Montgomery Bus boycott a historical significance it would not otherwise have had. The first day of the boycott, Dec. 5, 1955, was already an overwhelming success when black residents chose King to head the Montgomery Improvement Association (MIA), which was formed to continue the protest against the city's bus segregation policy. King would later admit that his unanticipated call to leadership \"\"happened so quickly that I did not have time to think it through. It is probable that if I had, I would have declined the nomination.\"\" A 26-year-old minister with little more than a year's experience as pastor of Mongomery's Dexter Avenue Baptist Church, he was uncertain about his future, but he quickly sensed that he had become part of a historic movement. At an evening mass rally on the initial day of the boycott, he conveyed the deeper significance of the day's unfolding events. \"\" Right here in Montgomery, when the history books are written in the future, somebody will have to say, 'There lived a race of people, a black people, fleecy locks and black complexion, but a people who had the moral courage to stand up for their rights. And thereby they injected a new meaning into the veins of history and civilization.' \"\" During subsequent weeks King gradually became more assured in his understanding of the boycott movement's historical meaning even as he recognized his own limitations and frailities. His resolve weakened during January 1956 as Montgomery city commissioners announced that they had joined the White Citizens Council and launched a \"\"get tough\"\" policy that resulted in King's jailing on a minor traffic violation."

In August of 1945 the Japanese felt that the Americans would never attempt a landing on Kyushu or Honshu until after typhoon season. Therefore the war cabinet were kind of sitting on their hands at the time hoping for some sort of miracle. I don't think anyone can draw any firm conclusions because the leadership was so factionalized which is what let to the war in the first place. There was a surrender faction, and then there was a fight to the last man, woman and children faction."

As the war went on, the nations at war expanded their bombing targets from military to industrial ones, then to workers' houses, and finally to entire cities and their civilian populations. In the late afternoon of April 26, 1937, German bombers and other warplanes attacked Guernica, a town of about 7,000 persons in northern Spain. This raid was part of the Spanish Civil War, fought just before World War II. The Spanish Republic was battling rebels led by Spanish General Francisco Franco. Hitler had sent a special air force unit to Spain to aid Franco, and Hitler used the civil war to test new military aircraft and bombing tactics. In the assault on Guernica, German pilots left a small munitions factory and other possible military targets untouched. They aimed their explosive and incendiary (fire) bombs into the center of the town. A squadron of experimental aircraft dropped the first bombs on the plaza in front of the railroad station filled with war refugees.

This barbaric act was followed three days later with the dropping of a second bomb on Nagasaki. The two bombs—the only ever to be used on a civilian population—combined to kill as many as 350,000 people, devastating the cities they targeted. The following essay was originally published on August 6-8, 2005, on the sixtieth anniversary of these events. Of the analysis, only the third part is somewhat dated, insofar as it discusses the role of American imperialism and the danger of nuclear war under the Bush administration. However, the passage of seven years, and the transition from Bush to Obama, has only increased the danger of world war, waged with nuclear weapons far more powerful than those used against Japan. This danger is driven by the crisis of capitalism and the insatiable determination of American imperialism to control the world. As the US combines its successive invasions of country after country with increasingly bellicose threats against Iran, China and Russia, the events of August 1945 stand as a stark warning to the international working class. Part one: Prompt and utter destruction In the early morning hours of August 6, 1945, an American B-29 warplane, named the Enola Gay, rolled down the runway of an American airbase on the Pacific island of Tinian.

Agree this is one of the more often repeated questions... Here is my short answer. In August, 1945 Japan had been pushed back across the pacific and except for a few isolated island garrisons, and the Japanese Army on the home islands, and China, and Manchuria, and Korea...were all but defeated. Up until this point in the war the battles in the pacific had been primarily a Navy show and the Japanese Navy essentially ceased to exist, the air force was also strained, BUT the Japanese Army, by far the most aggressive in promoting the war in the first place was still in relatively good shape, minus major losses in the Philippines and forces tied down in Southeast Asia and China. Thus, Roosevelt/Truman was faced with these options:1.) Bomb the Japanese into submission with conventional bombing (including fire bombing). This theory had not worked in Germany and was not really working in Japan, despite the large civilian losses the Japanese Generals showed no sign of surrendering.2.) Blockade, cut off food supplies and let the population starve while continuing to fire bomb anything we could find3.) Invade, the plans were on the table, forces were being re-deployed and re-trained from Europe and there was agreement with Stalin for a Soviet attack to coincide. \"\" DOWNFALL\"\"- The Plan for the Invasion of Japan4.)"

The debate over the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki concerns the ethical, legal, and military controversies surrounding the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki on 6 August and 9 August 1945 at the close of World War II (1939–45). The Soviet Union declared war on Japan an hour before 9 August [1] and invaded Manchuria at one minute past midnight; Japan surrendered on 15 August. On 26 July 1945, United States President Harry S. Truman, United Kingdom Prime Minister Winston Churchill, and Chairman of the Chinese Nationalist Government Chiang Kai-shek issued the Potsdam Declaration, which outlined the terms of surrender for the Empire of Japan as agreed upon at the Potsdam Conference. This ultimatum stated if Japan did not surrender, it would face \"\"prompt and utter destruction\"\". [ 2] Some debaters focus on the presidential decision-making process, and others on whether or not the bombings were the proximate cause of Japanese surrender. Over the course of time, different arguments have gained and lost support as new evidence has become available and as new studies have been completed. A primary and continuing focus has been on the role of the bombings in Japan's surrender and the U. S.'s justification for them based upon the premise that the bombings precipitated the surrender. This remains the subject of both scholarly and popular debate. In 2005, in an overview of historiography about the matter, J.

Follow 14 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: First of all, the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan after Germany already surrendered, so the commenter who said the other way around needs to read a book or something. The main reason the bomb was dropped was to bring a quick resolution to the war and to try and save as many American lives as possible, and Japanese lives as well. The Japanese had basically vowed to fight to the last man, and it was estimated that there may be well over 250,000 American causualities and 1,000,000 Japanese casualties had a full scale of invasion had taken place. JOE · 7 years ago4 1 Comment Some people above don't know what they're talking about. Ant and Alanea talk some sense. Dropping the bomb (both bombs) was necessary in order to avoid wasting many more thousands of American lives. The US had MASSIVE casualties fighting the Japanese because the Japanese were well-armed, well-trained, fanatic and amost never surrendered. They fought ferociously and usually to the death. The Japanese leaders used a great deal of propaganda to tell their citizens that the Americans were mosters who would eat their babies and such like, and that EVERYONE must fight to the death and never surrender in the defence of Japan and their nasty little so-called Emperor who was believed to be a demi-god or such like."

"text": "\" [] [] [] [] [ Edit]Was the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki justified? [ Edit]Background and context The atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki were nuclear attacks at the end of World War II against the Empire of Japan by the United States at the order of U. S. President Harry S. Truman on August 6 and 9, 1945. After six months of intense firebombing of 67 other Japanese cities, the nuclear weapon \"\"Little Boy\"\" was dropped on the city of Hiroshima on Monday, August 6, 1945, followed on August 9 by the detonation of the \"\"Fat Man\"\" nuclear bomb over Nagasaki. These are to date the only attacks with nuclear weapons in the history of warfare. The bombs killed as many as 140,000 people in Hiroshima and 80,000 in Nagasaki by the end of 1945, roughly half on the days of the bombings. Since then, thousands more have died from injuries or illness attributed to exposure to radiation released by the bombs. In both cities, the overwhelming majority of the dead were civilians. Six days after the detonation over Nagasaki, on August 15, Japan announced its surrender to the Allied Powers, signing the Instrument of Surrender on September 2, officially ending the Pacific War and therefore World War II. ( Germany had signed its Instrument of Surrender on May 7, ending the war in Europe.) The bombings led, in part, to post-war Japan adopting Three Non-Nuclear Principles, forbidding that nation from nuclear armament."

It had been reported by nuclear physicist Niels Bojr that German scientists had achieved atomic fission and the United States was not about to fall behind (Goldstein 5). Scientists were making great strides, splitting uranium atoms for the first time in America shortly after research began. But this was not enough. The US government had to be behind research efforts. Hitler and his scientists may have achieved atomic fission first, but this did them little good when he started persecuting Jewish scientists. Many of these scientists fled to the United States, the most noteworthy being Albert Einstein. Usually a pacifist, he worked with fellow scientist Leo Szilard to write a letter to President Roosevelt, urging him to push for the US development of the atomic bomb. Research continued, and eventually Roosevelt agreed to support it. In August of 1942, it was officially named the Manhattan Project (Goldstein 7)."

The course on British foreign policy delivered by the author has two parts – British Imperialism, and The Period since 1918. In this article we shall speak about the new methods of learning for students used in the classes devoted specifically to the British Empire. The question of methodological innovations is a quite topical one because it is directly connected with the students' activity in seminars (in this case on the abovementioned subject). A teacher’s professional success is manifested in his/her activity in using non-traditional methods in the academic process. In this article I propose to analyse the essence of the British Empire via R. Kipling’s literary activity. Through thorough investigation of the most important of Kipling’s works students will acquire a more exact and complete comprehension of the British Empire. Students will also have the possibility of revealing their own independent analysis. Kipling and Kipling studies (or Kiplingiana) are still too shameful a pleasure to be included in the English syllabus at most British universities. This was also so in the former USSR when the overwhelming majority of Kipling’s works were withdrawn from the libraries from the 1930s up to the mid-1970s."

Jan Smuts the second son of Jacobus Abraham Smuts, a prosperous farmer and a member of the Cape Legislative Assembly, was born on May 24, 1870, on a farm in the Malmesbury district of the Cape Colony (Cape Province). He began his formal education at the age of 12, when he entered a boarding school at Riebeek West. Although he was shy and physically weak, Smuts possessed a great zeal for learning. Four years later he entered Victoria College at Stellenbosch and there compiled a brilliant academic record. While a student at Stellenbosch, Smuts met Sybella Margaretha Krige, whom he later married. In 1891 Smuts won the Ebden scholarship and went to Christ's College, Cambridge, to study law. Early Career In 1895 Smuts returned to South Africa, settled at Cape Town, and was admitted to the bar. Because of his reserved ways, however, he was not immediately successful; consequently, he developed an interest in journalism and politics. In politics he was initially attracted to Cecil Rhodes, who was prime minister at that time."

The Boer Wars (known in Afrikaans as Vryheidsoorloeë [lit. \"\" freedom wars\"\"]) were two wars fought between Britain and the two independent Boer republics, the Orange Free State and the South African Republic (Transvaal Republic). The First Boer War The First Anglo-Boer War (1880–1881), also known as the \"\"Transvaal War,\"\" was a relatively brief conflict in which Boer (Dutch settlers) successfully rebelled against British rule in the Transvaal, and re-established their independence, lost in 1877 when the Boers fought the British in order to regain the independence they had given up to obtain British help against the Zulus (1880-1881). Second Anglo-Boer War The Second War (1899-1902), by contrast, was a lengthy war - involving large numbers of troops from many British possessions - which ended with the conversion of the Boer republics into British colonies (with a promise of limited self-government). These colonies later formed part of the Union of South Africa. The Boer War lasted three years and was very bloody. The British fought directly against the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. The bloodshed that was seen during the war was alarming. Two of the factors that contributed to this were: First, many of the British soldiers were physically unprepared for the environment and poorly trained for the tactical conditions they faced."

"text": "\"Australia and the Boer War, 1899–1902From soon after its acquisition by Britain during the Napoleonic wars, the southern tip of Africa had been shared between British colonies and independent republics of Dutch–Afrikaner settlers, known as Boers. In order to escape British rule many Boers had moved north and east to settle on new lands which eventually became the Boer republics of the Orange Free State and the Transvaal. The relationship between the British and the Boers was an uneasy one, with Britain extending its control by annexing Natal in 1845, although London did recognise the two republics in two treaties in the 1850s. Throughout the nineteenth century tensions were often high, and in 1880–81 the two sides fought a war in which the Boers inflicted several costly defeats on the British army. Coupled with the advent of a new government in London reluctant to fight the war, this ensured that the Transvaal was able effectively to maintain its independence. The discovery of gold and diamonds in the Boer republics in the 1880s further intensified the rivalry, particularly as British subjects flooded into the Boer territories in search of wealth. The rights of British subjects in Boer territory, British imperial ambition, and the Boer desire for to stay outside the British Empire all caused more friction, which in 1899 provoked the Boers to attack in order to forestall what they saw as an impending British conquest. As part of the British Empire, the Australian colonies offered troops for the war in South Africa. Australians served in contingents raised by the six colonies or, from 1901, by the new Australian Commonwealth. For a variety of reasons many Australians also joined British or South African colonial units in South Africa: some were already in South Africa when the war broke out; others either made their own way or joined local units after their enlistment in an Australian contingent ended."

The nation continued to expand its trade networks and soon enjoyed a flood of new plants and factories. Great Britain tried to retake its position as industrial leader, but Germany would not give up its newly acquired title so easily. The United States also enjoyed success during the Second Industrial Revolution. In fact, industry had made the U. S. the richest nation in the world at this time.

Confidence votes 63.3KI have spent many years renovating buildings and leading a commercial handyman crew.31 May 1961 is recognized as the official date of Independence as South Africa became a Republic on that date. The Republic of South Africa as it is today did not gain independence fully at a single point in history. Rather, it went through a series of transitions. It first gained partial independence from Britain on 31 May 1910. Then it formed the Union of South Africa under partial British and Dutch rule. It then gained further independence from the statue of Westminster on 11 December 1931. From there it gained full independence on 31 May 1961 to form the Republic of South Africa which was governed by the apartheid regime. Apartheid ended gradually in 1990 and the first democratic elections took place on 14 April 1994 when the first black president of the Republic was democratically elected - Nelson Mandela.

Answer by Mohammed Sayanvala Confidence votes 2.8KSouth Africa as one country came into existence in the early 1900s. Prior to that it had been a series of smaller countries under various colonial and independent governments. The two colonial powers who held territory in South Africa were the Dutch and the British. The smaller countries fought fiercely for their independence agsinst both the Dutch and British. The battle of the British army against the Zulus and the Boers, known as the Anglo-Boer war was especially notable. The British defeated the Zulus and later the took power of the Boer Republics and united them all with the Cape and Natal colonies to form a single country. South Africa, as one country, was called the Union of South Africa in 1911. It was self-governing, British colony."

The Phoney period began with the declaration of war by Great Britain and France against Nazi Germany on 3 September 1939, and ended with the German attack on France and the Low Countries on 10 May 1940. While there was no large-scale military action by Britain and France, they did begin economic warfare, and shut down the German surface raiders. They created elaborate plans for numerous large-scale operations designed to swiftly and decisively cripple the German war effort. These included opening a French-British front in the Balkans; invading Norway to seize control of Germany's main source of iron ore; and a strike against the Soviet Union, to cut off its supply of oil to Germany. Only the Norway plan came to fruition, and it was too little too late in April 1940. [ 1]The quiet of the Phoney War was punctuated by a few Allied actions. In the Saar Offensive in September, the French attacked Germany with the intention of assisting Poland, but it fizzled out within days and they withdrew."

She was the largest passenger steamer of her day, at over 46,000 tons, and supposedly the most up to date. Special watertight compartments made her ‘practically unsinkable’, claimed the owners. They also advertised the luxurious First Class accommodation, with large state-rooms, a Parisian café, a swimming pool and restaurant. Titanic set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage on Wednesday 10 April, 1912, calling at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown in southern Ireland before heading out across the Atlantic, on course for New York. Late on the night of Sunday 14 April she struck an iceberg and was holed below the waterline. Less than three hours later she sank. Only 705 people were rescued from over 2,200 on board. Tasks1."

"text": "\"\"\"Modern Marvels: Titanic Tech\"\" Questions Page 222. Was Titanic 's rudder too small to be effective? Where rudders are concerned, bigger is not always better. It's true that the larger the rudder, the more surface area there is to generate hydrodynamic torque, but larger rudders also generate more drag and require more pressure from the steering engines to turn them effectively. British naval architects during the first part of the century appear to have preferred the unbalanced rudder for merchant ships, where the blade of the rudder is entirely aft of the stock. This places the centroid of pressure (CP) relatively far out on the blade, increasing the pressure required by the steering engines to move the rudder. The balanced rudder was used for Lusitania and Mauretania (one that places the CP on the stock by having a portion of the blade ahead of the stock), but design of the stern for those two ships was dictated by Admiralty requirements. Other factors affecting a rudder's design will be familiar to aviators...tip vortices (similar to cavitation), induced drag and stall. Another consideration was protection against grounding damage. So what was the ideal design?"

The crossing got off to a rough start when the Titanic almost hit another ship as it was leaving the dock at Southampton and a small fire broke out in one of the coal bunker rooms. Nonetheless, the Titanic’s journey continued relatively uneventfully until the night of April 14, when the Titanic struck an iceberg. The collision occurred at approximately 11:30 p.m., distress calls were sent out immediately. But help came too late for the 1,512 people who were on board the Titanic when it sank approximately three hours later, at 2:20 a.m. The RMS Carpathia, the first ship to arrive for a rescue, did save 705 people, who had managed to board lifeboats.

A: Quick Answer Official reports vary, but the consensus is that there were between 2,200 and 2,340 passengers and crew members on board the Titanic when it sank. Of that number, 885 were crew members. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Many Died on the Titanic? How Many Passengers Were on the Titanic? How Many People Died in the Sinking of the Titanic? Credit: Universal History Archive / Contributor Universal Images Group Getty Images Full Answer Contrary to popular belief, it is rumored that the majority of the those who died in the disaster were actually crew members and not passengers. Unsurprisingly, the majority of passenger deaths occurred among 3rd class passengers. This was due primarily to the location of steerage in the lower parts of the ship, which were hit first and hardest with water when the ship collided with the iceberg. Additionally, of all the deaths, only a few more than 100 were women."

"text": "When Did the Titanic Sink? The Titanic was a modern marvel of engineering for its time. The massive cruise liner was built with all the amenities of a luxury ocean liner, the vessel was built in just over two years. Run by the White Star ocean liner and constructed by the Harland Wolff shipyard in Belfast, Ireland, Titanic construction was thought to be the best of its time. Setting sail for its maiden voyage on April 10, 1912 from Southampton, England and bound for New York City, the Titanic carried 2,223 passengers toward its destination. The ship made stops in Cherebourg, France and Queensland, Ireland and continued on its voyage through the North Atlantic ocean. Late on the night of April 14, 1912, the ship received warnings of icebergs in the area. Reports say that the ship continued full steam ahead despite these warnings. At approximately 11:40 pm, the Titanic struck an iceberg which buckled the hull and sent water rushing into the watertight compartments. Although it was though that the ship could have stayed afloat despite having four of these compartments flooded, the glancing blow in the hull caused five compartments to become flooded and the Titanic began sinking."

The wooden lifeboat, the last to cast off from the doomed passenger ship as it plunged into the icy water, was spotted some 200 miles from the wreck site by crew on board the passing RMS Oceanic on May 13, 1912. On board were the corpses of two firemen from the Titanic's engine room and that of first class passenger Thomson Beattie, 37, who was still dressed in his dinner jacket. At the bottom of the boat, the crew found a wedding band engraved with the words 'Edward to Gerda' - the only remains of a husband and wife who perished at sea after escaping the sinking liner. Photographs of the recovery mission, combined with a detailed first-hand account, help build a picture of those who lost their lives aboard lifeboat 'Collapsible A' - and the gruesome discovery that awaited the crew of the RMS Oceanic.

"text": "\"24Gallery: The sinking of the Titanic, April 15, 1912Print Email By Deb Kiner | [email protected] Email the author | Follow on Twitter on April 13, 2015 at 12:08 PM, updated April 15, 2015 at 7:02 AM0 shares The RMS Titanic sank on April 15, 1912, after hitting an iceberg. Milton S. Hershey was not a passenger on the doomed ship. Hershey loved new and innovative things, according to Pam Whitenack, the director of the Hershey Community Archives. That is likely why he purchased a ticket for $300 to sail on the Titanic, which left on its maiden voyage with 2,224 passengers and crew from Southampton, UK, on April 10, 1912. Whitenack said Milton Hershey and his wife, Catherine, were spending the winter in Nice, France, beginning in December 1911. The Titanic was sailing about the time that Hershey needed to return to the United States. \"\" He was an intensely curious person so that is what really shaped his entire life,\"\" Whitenack said. The check that Milton Hershey wrote on Dec. 18, 1911, for $300 to White Star Lines was drawn on the Hershey Trust Company. Hershey ultimately did not sail on the Titanic but on the German liner the Amerika on April 6 and arrived in New York on April 7. Hershey had to return from his trip early to attend to business."

S. Navy's oldest commissioned warship sailed under its own power for just the second time in more than a century to commemorate the battle that won it the nickname 'Old Ironsides. ' The USS Constitution, which was first launched in 1797, was tugged from its berth in Boston Harbor on Sunday to the main deepwater pathway into the harbor. It then set out to open seas for a 10-minute cruise. The short trip marked the day two centuries ago when the Constitution bested the British frigate HMS Guerriere in a fierce battle during the War of 1812. It follows a three-year restoration project and is the first time the Constitution has been to sea on its own since its 200th birthday in 1997.

I was curious about the demographics of the passengers and crew of the Titanic -- who perished, who survived, and who occupied which lifeboats. How gravely was the tragedy enhanced by gender, class distinction, and prejudice? On this site I have compiled numbers, comparing several different sources. The numbers make it all too clear that a rule of First Class First far outweighed the principle of Women and Children First.

Ismay had been living in a house in Wirral, which is close to Liverpool. He had only been in living in England for about three months after having lived for over a decade in Ireland. After living in Ireland since the 1920s, Ismay’s health began to decline after he had been diagnosed with diabetes. By 1936, Ismay’s diabetes was getting worse and caused the loss of his right leg.

Joseph Bruce Ismay had been the director of the White Star Line at the time that the RMS Titanic went down, and the result of the disaster left Ismay with a besmirched reputation, but did he truly deserve to be judged as a coward and fiend, or was he just a man that saw the chance to save his own life and took it?

"text": "What Year Did the Titanic Sink? Built to be the largest passenger vessel in the world and the most luxurious, the Titanic was a marvel of modern engineering. The vessel was fitted with five watertight rooms below the deck designed to keep the Titanic afloat even after collision. Many individuals boarded the Titanic before its maiden voyage with the utmost confidence that they had nothing to worry about. During the maiden voyage, the British RMS Titanic hit an iceberg in off the coast of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic Ocean. The impact happened around 12pm on April 14, 1912 and ships began receiving distress signals at about 12:15pm that same night. Among the ships that received the distress signals were the Titanic sister ship the Olympic and the Carpathia. The Carpathia was the closest ship to the sinking Titanic, but it was still 4 hours away. It took the Titanic over two hours to fully sink into the ocean and the final part of the ship went under at 2:20am on the morning of April 15, 1912. The Carpathia vessel ended up arriving two hours after the Titanic had already sunk."

"text": "SCIENCE 04/09/2012 02:09 pm ET Updated Dec 06, 2017Titanic Sinking Tied To Engineering, Structural Failures (DIAGRAMS)Richard Woytowich Hello, everyone!I’m a member of the Marine Forensics Committee, and author or co-author of three peer-reviewed papers on the “Titanic”. My most recent paper, “The Breakup Of Titanic – A Re-Examination of Survivor Accounts”, was presented at the First International Marine Forensics Symposium on April 4. Working with Roy Mengot (with whom I co-authored one paper), I’ve been gathering evidence to support a reconstruction of the breakup of the “Titanic” that differs somewhat from the one you may have seen in movies or in other publications. The most important stages in our reconstruction are illustrated here: In our reconstruction, the failure began in the ship’s bottom structure, when the ship was at an angle of about 17 degrees. The failure spread across the breadth of the ship, then upward; it also spread forward and aft, probably along lightly riveted longitudinal seams, forming two separate pieces of the double bottom. When the ship’s stern section came back down into the water, buoyancy forces took over the job of holding up that part of the ship, so the breakup stopped for a little while. At that point, the two halves of the ship were held together by the uppermost strength decks, and by the double – thickness side shell plating. The outlines of the two double bottom pieces that broke away from the ship are indicated. The deckhouse is shown opening up at the aft expansion joint – but the split in the deckhouse was an effect, not a cause, of the hull break. As the bow continued to flood, and as water poured into the engine room (which would have been opened to the sea when the bottom gave way), the bow section pulled down on the forward end of the stern section."

"text": "Titanic Sinking History Beginning in Southampton, England and bound for New York, New York, the Titanic was deemed virtually unsinkable. The largest vessel at the, she was equipped with the finest luxuries and latest technology of her time. On her maiden voyage, the Titanic left with 2,240 passengers and made its way across the Atlantic ocean toward its destination. Temperatures began dropping during the voyage and captain Edward J. Smith had received iceberg warnings over the radio and adjusted the course of the Titanic slightly South. Marconi radio operators Jack Phillips and Harold Bride had received iceberg warnings via wireless radio, but since they were employed by Marconi and given the task to relay messages to and from passengers, they were not focused on relaying ice messages to the bridge. At 23:40 sailing near the Grand Banks of Newfoundland, lookouts Fredrick Fleet and Reginald Lee spotted an iceberg directly ahead of the Titanic. What happened next would forever change history. On September 20, 1911, while leaving port the Olympic (Titanic's sister ship) collided with the HMS Hawke, ripping a large hole into the Olympic's side. First Officer Murdoch gave the order “hard-a-starboard” using the traditional to turn to port (left). He adjusted the engines via telegraph for either ‘full reverse’ or ‘stop’, though the actual testimony is unclear."

The purportedly unsinkable ship Titanic sank in the Atlantic Ocean in the early morning hours of 15 April 1912. The doomed ship left Southampton, England on 10 April 1912 to pick up more passengers in France and Ireland before it embarked on its journey to New York harbor. Four days later the passenger ship hit an iceberg about 1,000 miles from its planned destination point in New York. It sunk about 400 miles from Newfoundland, Canada. According to historic accounts, the ship's operators sent the distress signal at 10:25 PM. The ship started taking in water at the hull after colliding with an iceberg. The steam-powered passenger ship Carpathia attempted to come to the rescue. It arrived at the signaled coordinates of latitude 41 degrees 46' north, longitude 50 degrees 14' west at 3:30 AM, but the Titanic had completely succumbed to the Atlantic about an hour earlier."

Titanic The Titanic. The Bettmann Archive Origins and construction In the early 1900s the transatlantic passenger trade was highly profitable and competitive, with ship lines vying to transport wealthy travelers and immigrants. Two of the chief lines were White Star and Cunard. By the summer of 1907, Cunard seemed poised to increase its share of the market with the debut of two new ships, the Lusitania and the Mauretania, which were scheduled to enter service later that year. The two passenger liners were garnering much attention for their expected speed; both would later set speed records crossing the Atlantic Ocean. Looking to answer his rival, White Star chairman J. Bruce Ismay reportedly met with William Pirrie, who controlled the Belfast shipbuilding firm Harland and Wolff, which constructed most of White Star’s vessels. The two men devised a plan to build a class of large liners that would be known for their comfort instead of their speed. It was eventually decided that three vessels would be constructed: the Olympic, the Titanic, and the Britannic."

She was stopped, however, by a handsome third-class artist known as Jack Dawson. He convinced her that she should not try and kill herself.

The film also stars Gloria Stuart, Billy Zane, Kathy Bates, Frances Fisher, Bernard Hill, Jonathan Hyde, Danny Nucci, David Warner, Victor Garber, and Bill Paxton. Cameron saw the love story as a way to engage the audience with the real life tragedy. In 1995, production began on the film when Cameron shot footage of the actual Titanic wreck. The modern scenes were shot on board the Akademik Mstislav Keldysh, which Cameron used as a base while filming the actual wreck. A reconstruction of the Titanic was built in Baja, California, at Playas de Rosarito. Scale models and CGI effects were also used to create a more realistic version of the ship. The film was partially funded by Paramount Pictures and 20th Century Fox, its distributors."

First Officer Murdoch heard those bells and stared ahead of the ship. Seeing nothing but a vague object, he took his binoculars.

"text": "Woody Hancock, Harvard and Johns Hopkins alum, knows about history, investments, Titanic Answered May 17, 2016 · Author has 321 answers and 609.8k answer views The Titanic struck the iceberg at about 11:40 pm, and disappeared from sight at about 2:20 am, so it took approximately 2 hours, 40 minutes for the ship to sink. Titanic hit the iceberg at an angle, and as she brushed it, the berg punched holes in the hull plating of 5 of her 16 watertight compartments. That number of breached compartments doomed the ship. She had been designed to stay afloat with 4 of them flooded, but with 5 flooded, the angle of the hull would be steep enough that the water in each compartment would simply spill over into the next compartment, and so on until the ship sank. This was because the watertight bulkheads only extended up through two-thirds of the ship rather than all the way. Oddly enough, had Titanic hit the iceberg head-on, it’s possible she might have survived or at least stayed afloat long enough that her passengers and crew would have been rescued (the large German liner Kronprinz Wilhelm rammed an iceberg head-on in 1907 and still made port despite being damaged and leaking). It’s important to note that Titanic’s construction followed the most up-to-date standards of the day and, on paper, the ship was considered unusually safe. The problem was that no one thought it possible that such a large ship could be fatally damaged way out in the Atlantic so far away from sources of rescue.3.5k Views"

Tasks Background Teachers' notes External links The Titanic was built at a cost of around £1.5 million, in Belfast, for the White Star shipping line. She was the largest passenger steamer of her day, at over 46,000 tons, and supposedly the most up to date. Special watertight compartments made her ‘practically unsinkable’, claimed the owners. They also advertised the luxurious First Class accommodation, with large state-rooms, a Parisian café, a swimming pool and restaurant. Titanic set sail from Southampton on her maiden voyage on Wednesday 10 April, 1912, calling at Cherbourg in France and Queenstown in southern Ireland before heading out across the Atlantic, on course for New York. Late on the night of Sunday 14 April she struck an iceberg and was holed below the waterline. Less than three hours later she sank. Only 705 people were rescued from over 2,200 on board. Tasks1."

In 1915 and 1916 she served between the United Kingdom and the Dardanelles. On the morning of 21 November 1916 she was shaken by an explosion caused by a naval mine near the Greek island of Kea.

The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship's time) [a] on Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history. Titanic received six warnings of sea ice on 14 April but was travelling near her maximum speed when her lookouts sighted the iceberg. Unable to turn quickly enough, the ship suffered a glancing blow that buckled her starboard (right) side and opened five of her sixteen compartments to the sea. Titanic had been designed to stay afloat with four of her forward compartments flooded but no more, and the crew soon realised that the ship would sink. They used distress flares and radio ( wireless) messages to attract help as the passengers were put into lifeboats. In accordance with existing practice, Titanic's lifeboat system was designed to ferry passengers to nearby rescue vessels, not to hold everyone on board simultaneously; therefore with the ship sinking rapidly and help still hours away, there was no safe refuge for many of the passengers and crew. Compounding this, poor management of the evacuation meant many boats were launched before they were completely full."

It’s a tragic story that has been retold countless times. A well-known tale about the largest passenger steam ship of its time and its many famous and wealthy passengers. One of the most often repeated details of the tragedy is how it inspired changes in maritime laws because the ship didn’t have enough lifeboats for all of its passengers. It’s also common knowledge that the voyage ended in disaster when the Titanic stuck an iceberg and sank in the North Atlantic, killing an estimated 1,500 people. But one grim detail that is often overlooked in the recounting of the Titanic story is the fate of all those who never made it into a lifeboat. We know that they died. But how? And what happened to their bodies? Of the 1,496 who are known to have died, only about 330 bodies were pulled out of the water by ships sent to recover them in the days following the sinking."

The various openings made into the hull of Titanic as she sideswiped the iceberg totaled about the size of a desk. Not a terribly big hole but when you take into account that the various openings stretched for about a third of the length of the ship and opened that many compartments to the sea, her fate was sealed. Even though the compartments flooded at different rates, the combined weight of all that water gushing in pulled the Titanic's bow down into the water. As she settled lower, the water inside was able to eventually overtop the compartment walls, like an ice cube tray on a tilt with water sloshing over. Once the bow of the Titanic had sank low enough into the North Atlantic, many more openings of various sorts added to the flooding and accelerated the sinking of the ship."

WHY - - Allies needed to fight the Battle of the Atlantic in order to control the seas. The sea was the only way to deliver soldiers and supplies to Hitler's opponents. HOW - - US began to build new ships at an amazing rate in order to form larger and better-equipped convoys (the many ships that would \"\"escort\"\" the merchant ship, the ship carrying the \"\"goods\"\", across the Atlantic). Larger and better convoys reduced the effectiveness of the German U-boat attacks (submarine boats that stayed under water and would attack Allied ships carrying supplies). - US used aircraft to protect the convoys from the air. - Both aircraft and convoy ships used radar and other technologies to find and destroy U-boats. - The Allies broke the Germans' code system, Enigma in 1941."

In American minds, one rifle stands head and shoulders above all others used in World War II. That is the US Rifle, Caliber .30 M1, most commonly referred to as the Garand, after its primary designer John C. Garand. I’ve been of that mind too since about age 13. What I didn’t know until I bought a few Garands, and, perhaps more importantly, a few books about them, is that most of the US rifle, Caliber .30, M1s available today are not as they were issued to GIs and Marines in WWII. Here are a couple of examples. Only the government owned Springfield Armory and Winchester Repeating Arms manufactured Garands in the WWII years. Those made by Harrington & Richardson and International Harvester were products of the 1950s. Springfield Armory also returned to Garand production in the 1950s. Almost all M1 Garands that saw combat in WWII wore a sight which collectors now call the “locking bar” type."

Our nation's second military draft law, the Selective Service Act, went into effect in 1917 and gave President Woodrow Wilson the authority to conscript men for World War I. In 1940, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the Selective Training and Service Act, creating the country's first peacetime draft and officially establishing the Selective Service System. The draft continued from 1948, during both peacetime and war, to 1973, when President Richard M. Nixon signed legislation officially ending the draft. The Selective Service registration requirement was later suspended in April 1975. However, in 1980, President James E. Carter resumed Selective Service registration in response to the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. The Selective Service System remains in place today.

His cartoons were acclaimed and especially controversial during WWII. They usually featured mockeries of foreign leaders, racism or were against isolationism (as this one is). He was heavily against the Neutrality Act of 1935 and believed that the United States needed to enter the war. This material must have been made post 1935 (after the said act was passed) but prior to 1941 (when the United States did enter the war) and would have been published in PM or other paying newspaper. Since this must have taken place after 1935, many Americans, still suffering from the Great Depression, would have supported the idea of creating jobs through the war effort. There are two references in this cartoon, one being the Neutrality Act of 1935 which forbade the transport, distribution or selling of supplies or ammunitions to belligerent nations, which kept the United States out of the war until attack was initiated on Pearl Harbor. This cartoon is speaking out against the Neutrality Act, and thus encouraging the entrance into World War II by the United States. The other reference is the symbol of the \"\"Old Man of the Sea\"\", a Greek myth that revolves around a god who would ride on people until they drowned, keeping them from reaching their destination due to his weight. Dr. Suess is referring to the Neutrality Act of 1935 as the \"\"Old Man of the Sea\"\" which is holding back U. S. boats full of supplies for the Allies from reaching Europe."

I'm sure there were a few US ships that may have equalled, or perhaps even bettered these figures.

"text": "\"How did America pay for World War II?by Tyler Cowen September 7, 2010 at 7:25 am in Economics History Peter Schiff offers some interesting observations, via Interfluidity . But to repeat the impact of World War II today would require a truly massive effort. Replicating the six-fold increase in the federal budget that was seen in the early 1940s would result in a nearly $20 trillion budget today. That equates to $67,000 for every man, woman, and child in the country. Surely, the tremendous GDP growth created by such spending would make short work of the so-called Great Recession. To a degree that will surprise many, the US funded its World War II effort largely by raising taxes and tapping into Americans' personal savings. Both of those avenues are nowhere near as promising today as they were in 1941 Current tax burdens are now much higher than they were before the War, so raising taxes today would be much more difficult. The \"\"Victory Tax\"\" of 1942 sharply raised income tax rates and allowed, for the first time in our nation's history, taxes to be withheld directly from paychecks. The hikes were originally intended to be temporary but have, of course, far outlasted their purpose. It would be unlikely that Americans would accept higher taxes today to fund a real war, let alone a pretend one."

In later years, Rosie also became an iconic American image in the fight to broaden women’s civil rights. After the Japanese bombing of Pearl Harbor in December 1941 and the full involvement of the U. S. in World War II, the male work force was depleted to fill the ranks of the U. S. military. This came precisely at a time when America’s need for factory output and munitions soared. The U. S. government, with the help of advertising agencies such as J. Walter Thompson, mounted extensive campaigns to encourage women to join the work force. Magazines and posters played a key role in the effort to recruit women for the wartime workforce. Saturday Evening Post cover artist, Norman Rockwell, is generally credited with creating one of the popular “Rosie the Riveter” images used to encourage women to become wartime workers. Rockwell’s “Rosie,” shown at right, appeared on the cover of the May 29th, 1943 edition of The Saturday Evening Post .

Most powerful by standing military might? To the first point: The USA became the most powerful nation, in terms of raw industrial and population resources probably about 1880. Some could argue that the \"\"raw power\"\" was there right after the civil war. While, around the completion of the American Civil War, the USA was essentially unbeatable in any protracted military endeavor (especially one that put the US on the defensive), the US quickly re-tooled its war machine and cut military funding to well below that of Germany, France and the UK. The American economy passed Britain as the largest around 1880. In 1880 the US's population was about 50 million and the UK's (Britain and Ireland) was about 35 million. The only other contender about this time was Germany. In 1880 it's population was about 45 million and her industrial output was starting to outpace the UK's, though she would never come close to that of the US, her population size, industrial development, technological prowess and military training probably put her on par with the US and was probably above that of the UK."

Pretend for a moment you buy a vehicle to be used solely for business. You know it can’t be expensed, so you record it as a fixed asset. Easy, right? But what if you buy a computer, rightly record it as a fixed asset, but then later need printer to go with it. Should that printer be expensed, or should it also be capitalized? Things can get fuzzy quickly. Accounting standards are great at telling people how to capitalize a fixed asset, but they often don’t provide a lot of guidance on exactly which assets to capitalize and how to depreciate the ones you do capitalize.

These include the cost of any improvements having a useful life of more than 1 year. Rehabilitation expenses also increase basis. However, you must subtract any rehabilitation credit allowed for these expenses before you add them to your basis. If you have to recapture any of the credit, increase your basis by the recapture amount. If you make additions or improvements to business property, keep separate accounts for them.

Yet depreciation is also something of a mystery to many investors and is subsequently overlooked, together with many thousands of dollars in potential tax deductions. This resource explains depreciation in detail so our investors can be confident in claiming every cent they are entitled to. Author: Peter Gianoli, General Manager Investor Assist Introduction to investment property depreciation As investment properties get older and the items within them suffer wear and tear, they decline in value. The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) recognises this and allows investors to claim this loss of value as a tax deduction against their assessable income. This is called depreciation of investment property. Just as you would deduct your interest payments and the costs of maintaining an investment property, you are allowed to deduct the depreciating value of the property itself and the items within it. Investment property depreciation is known as a ‘non cash deduction’ because it doesn’t require any ongoing payments such as interest. The deductions are built in with your investment property – so if you don’t claim depreciation in your tax return, you are missing out on a genuine entitlement. It’s your job to claim it, and the ATO does not issue reminders."

"text": "IRS Home Office Tax Deduction – Rules & Calculator By Gary Tuttle March 6, 2018 - Posted in: Taxes Share 3 Tweet Pin 2 Comments 34If you are a small business owner, an independent contractor, or someone who maintains an office at home for the convenience of your employer, you may qualify for a tax break by using the home-office deduction. The home-office deduction allows you to deduct a portion of the cost to run and maintain your home as a business expense. The amount of the deduction is the percentage of expenses that your office square footage represents of your home’s total square footage. Done properly, this deduction can reduce your taxable income substantially, generating a tax savings. A word of caution: This deduction is frequently abused, but, on the other hand, often overlooked. Just because this deduction is a common source of tax fraud doesn’t mean you shouldn’t take it if you qualify for it. Home Office Deduction How the IRS Defines a Home Office Whether you convert a bedroom, den, basement, attic, or garage into an office, the IRS does not specify what kind of facility can be an office. They do, however, have two rules about the use of the space. To qualify to deduct expenses for business, you must use that space: Exclusively and regularly as your principal place of business Exclusively and regularly as a place to meet clients, customers, or patients in the normal conduct of your business If you are an employee who designates space at home as an office, there are two additional requirements: Your business use must be for the convenience of your employer. You cannot take the expense of the office space if it is rented to your employer."

"text": "\"–A+Apple Inc. shares approach ex-dividend as it gears up to distribute $2.7 billion to shareholders By Daniel Eran Dilger Friday, May 08, 2015, 11:28 am PT (02:28 pm ET)On May 14, Apple will pay shareholders of record a quarterly dividend of $0.52 per share, but investors must have settled ownership of the company's stock by Monday, May 11, in order to qualify. Apple has been paying its shareholders a dividend about a month and a half after the end of each fiscal quarter ever since it declared its modern dividend plan in the summer of 2012. The May dividend will be the fourth to occur since the company issued a7-for-1 stock split. That split also converted the dividend from $3.29 per share to 47 cents per share. Apple just announced plans to increase its May dividend from 47 cents to 52 cents per share during its Q2 earnings conference call. Since the stock split, Apple repurchased asurprising$17 billion of its own stock in the September quarter; $5 billion of stock in open market purchases during its December quarter (Apple's Fiscal Q1 2015); and another $7 billion of stock in open market purchases during its March quarter (Apple's Fiscal Q2 2015). The company now has 5.761 billionshares outstanding. Since the beginning of 2014, Apple shares are up 59.2 percent, compared to Microsoft's 27.98 percent gain or Google's 3.43 percent decline in nonvoting GOOG C class shares and 1.61 percent loss in standard GOOGL A class shares. Since the start of 2015, Apple shares are up 16.51 percent, compared to Microsoft's 2.06 percent gain or Google's 2.79 percent gain in nonvoting GOOG C class shares and 4 percent gain in standard GOOGL A class shares. Google split its shares into the two classes and awarded investors one of each, effectively stripping investors of half their voting rights through the \"\"dividend\"\" dilution."

"text": "\"–A+Feature Why Apple, Inc decided to split its stock 7-1By Daniel Eran Dilger Tuesday, April 29, 2014, 08:13 am PT (11:13 am ET)After announcing its 7-1 stock split, Apple also outlined why it did so, answering in advance the oft-raised question with a simple answer: \"\"We want Apple stock to be more accessible to a larger number of investors.\"\" Apple didn't frame its statement to suggest a specific type of investor it was hoping to make its stock \"\"more accessible to,\"\" but there are a couple reasons why a split would attract different types of buyers. Institutional investors Institutional buyers, including mutual funds and other banking institutions, may have rules related to the maximum price of the shares they hold. By splitting its stock into a fraction that causes the share price to align with the rules of a greater swath of these buyers, Apple increases the number of potential buyers. Research by Morgan Stanley analyst Katy Huberty from Februaryindicatedthat the proportion of institutional ownership in Apple is at a five year low. As a trend, that suggests that Apple's rapidly rising stock price may have been a problem for institutional investors. The advantage of attracting institutional buyers (beyond the value of having buyers at all) is that they are seen as having an attractive influence. Many funds effectively market themselves and their stock picks as something others should emulate, out of their own self interest because advertising their holdings can attract new buyers who will help drive up the prices of the securities it holds. Individual investors For individual investors, the psychology of a lower per-share price and greater number of shares might simply feel like a better deal, although, of course, the split has no direct impact on value. The idea that Apple might be interested in individual investors is reflected in the wording of the very simple example it presented to explain that the stock split doesn't change the actual value of an investor's overall holdings. \"\""

Chances are it's not the concept of dividends that confuses you; the ex-dividend date and date of record are the tricky factors. In this article, we'll sort through the dividend payment process and explain on what date the buyer of the stock gets to keep the dividend. Before we explain how it all works, let's go over some of the basics to ensure we have the proper foundation to understand the more complex issues. Some investment terms are thrown around more often than Frisbees on a hot summer day, so it's important that we define exactly what we're talking about. Different Types of Dividends The decision to distribute a dividend is made by a company's board of directors. There is nothing requiring a company to pay a dividend, even if the company has paid dividends in the past. However, many investors view a steady dividend history as an important indicator of a good investment, so most companies are reluctant to reduce or stop their dividend payments. ( For more information on buying dividend-paying stocks, see the articles Put Dividends to Work in Your Portfolio ). Dividends can be paid in various different forms, but there are two major categories: cash and stock."

"text": "\"Business Finance Small Business Finances What Is the Market Price Per Share? How to Calculate Stock Price Share Flip Pin Email•••By Rosemary Peavler Updated February 04, 2018The market price per share of stock—usually termed simply \"\"share price\"\"— is the dollar amount that investors are willing to pay for one share of a company's stock. It has no specific relation to the value of the company's assets, such as book value per share does, which is based on the information from a company's balance sheet . How to Calculate Stock Price You actually don't have to calculate the current market price per share because it's readily available. It's the figure that appears when you go online and ask to see a company's \"\"current share price.\"\" Just enter the company's stock symbol in your search engine—for example, AAPL for Apple— along with the phrase \"\"share price\"\" to determine the share price online as of any given date. Most internet pages show current share price, including online brokerage sites, but they also allow you to find the share price on any given past date. How Share Price Is Arrived At If you're hardcore and you want to do the math yourself, determining the market price per share of stock goes something like this. Select the date for which you want to determine market price, then determine the company's net income as of that date. This information is typically found in quarterly and annual reports, but it's something else you can usually hunt up online."

"text": "\"Main important points pertinent to dividends in stocks:-1. There is absolutely no legal obligation for any company to pay any dividends to its share holders.2. Dividends are basically the part of profit or \"\"cash in hand\"\" which a company shares with its shareholders.3. Percentage of dividend paid by any company is, in no way, any indication of the quality of the company. Just from dividend yield we cant say whether a company is good or bad.4. One of the best known company \"\"berkshire hathway\"\" owned by warren buffet, the second richest man alive on earth, has till date paid dividend only once in almost 50 yrs. Still it has given great returns to its share holders.5. All dividend income are tax free for the shareholders while it is taxable for the companies, which is called dividend distribution tax. This is to desist the promoters to take away all the company assets and profits from company to their own accounts.6. Dividend values are calculated as dividend percentage of \"\"face value\"\" and not market value."

In each of the last two years, Apple has raised its dividend in April. \"\" People are expecting at least an update [from Apple],\"\" said Scott Kessler, S&P Capital IQ analyst. \"\" Based on past experience, it would be reasonable to expect that in the last week or two of April. '' With nearly $180 billion in cash and securities on the company's balance sheet at the end of 2014, Apple is likely to raise its $1.88-per-share annual dividend. The only question is by how much. The rally in Apple shares, up more than 60 percent in the past year, makes the dividend question a difficult one to answer. When it began paying dividends in 2012 after a 17-year hiatus, Apple's quarterly payout gave the stock a 1.76 percent yield."

It’s sometimes an interesting exercise for investors to hypothetically look back and consider the question of, “If I had invested $100 several years ago in stock ‘X’, that investment would now be worth…”. In the case of Apple, a mere $100 investment in the company’s stock at the beginning of 2002 would now, in early 2016, have grown to a sum of more than $5,000, or more than 50 times the original investment. Online brokers can help you find which other stocks have spiked in price in the last 20 years. Find out which one offers the best stock screener here. A Gradual Ascent to Prominence and Profits The closing share price quoted for January 2, 2002, the first trading day of the year, was $23.30. Therefore, rounding to the nearest whole share, a $100 investment would have secured four shares of Apple stock. ( All Apple stock price quotes in this article are outright prices, not prices adjusted for dividends and splits. The effect of stock splits is noted and calculated into the total result, however the effect of dividends, which would slightly enhance the value of the investment, is not reflected in this review. ) It’s easy to view Apple as a monumental success story now, but the truth of the matter is that the beginning of this investment adventure did not start out too well."

"text": "\"Diminution in value From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Diminution in value is a legal term of art used when calculating damages in a legal dispute, and describes a measure of value lost due to a circumstance or set of circumstances that caused the loss. Specifically, it measures the value of something before and after the causative act or omission creating the lost value in order to calculate compensatory damages. [ 1]In legal damages theories, diminution in value is often calculated for compensatory special damages when a loss is monetarily quantifiable, and for restitution or disgorgement damages when the loss has unfairly enriched a wrongdoer. [ 1]Judicial remedies Legal remedies ( Damages)Compensatory damages Punitive damages Incidental damages Consequential damages Liquidated damages Reliance damages Nominal damages Statutory damages Treble damages Equitable remedies Specific performance Account of profits Constructive trust Injunction Restitution Rescission Rectification Declaratory relief Related issues Adequate remedy Election of remedies Provisional remedy Tracing Legal costsv t e Contents1 Examples1.1 Compensatory damages1.1.1 Tort example1.1.2 Car accidents1.1.3 Mixed contract and tort example1.2 Restitution or Disgorgement2 See also3 External links4 References Examples [ edit]Compensatory damages [ edit]Tort example [ edit]Person P has an apple cart which wrongdoer W runs over with a car. P depends upon the cart for selling apples as their sole source of income. P is able to salvage some of the parts from the damaged cart and gets the cart fixed using the salvaged parts. P goes back to selling apples the next week, but finds her customers have started to go elsewhere for their apples since she was not available for the week her cart was being repaired. In order to win back her customers P advertises her return and also sells her apples for a discount for a week. P wants to recover the diminution in value of their business from W. In order to do this P must determine the cost of the repairs and damaged apples, their lost opportunity cost or profit loss (how much profit they would have made during the week they were unable to sell apples), the advertising costs, and the lost profit from having to sell at a discount for a week. To determine the diminution in value of her business, P calculates:the cost to repair the damaged cart,less the cost of salvageable parts,plus the cost of the apples lost,plus the lost profits for the week it takes to repair the cart,plus the advertising costs,plus the profit loss of discounted apples sold for one week."

"text": "\"Dividend stocks are a staple of every income investor's portfolio, but don't dismiss them as a retiree's investment only. Dividend stocks have a role to play in any portfolio, no matter the investor's age or financial circumstances. The reason: compounding. When the dividends these stocks pay are reinvested, an investor's wealth snowballs. The more dividends you reinvest, the more shares you own, and the more shares you own, the larger your future dividends will be. Dividend reinvestment accounted for 42 percent of the average annual total return of the Standard & Poor's 500 index since 1930, according to research by Santa Barbara Asset Management. At the same time, there's plenty of room for dividend stock investors to go wrong, from choosing companies with unreliable dividends to fixating on the dividend yield alone. What follows is a primer on dividend stocks, starting with the most basic question of all. What is a dividend? A dividend is a share of a company's profits distributed to shareholders, and usually paid quarterly, like a bonus to investors."

As they soon learned, and now have claimed in their lawsuits, the statements were in error. On its balance sheet, Maxidrive overstated the economic resources it owned and understated its debts to others. On its income statement, Maxidrive overstated its ability to sell goods for more than the cost to produce and sell them. On its statement of retained earnings, Maxidrive overstated the amount of income it reinvested in the company for future growth. On its statement of cash flows, Maxidrive overstated its ability to generate from sales of disk drives the cash necessary to meet its current debts. These four financial statements are the basic statements normally prepared by profit-making organizations for use by investors, creditors, and other external decision makers. The four basic statements summarize the financial activities of the business. They can be prepared at any point in time (such as the end of the year, quarter, or month) and can apply to any time span (such as one year, one quarter, or one month)."

When an investor buys the stocks of a certain company, he buys a part ownership of the company and gains from the company's good performance. If the company does well, the investor may benefit from price increases of the stocks he holds as a dividend payment. The company can select its own dividend payment schedule. Dividend Dividend refers to the portion of a company's earnings that it distributes to its equity holders. A company usually sets a certain dividend level to pay out and follows it. If anything, a company is more likely to increase the dividend payment level than to decrease it. Dividends serve as an incentive for investors to put their money in the company. Reducing the amount of dividend paid out may make investors unhappy and send the message that the company is not doing well financially. Payment Schedule A company can choose to pay out dividends as often as it likes, but most companies make quarterly dividend payments, according to Washburn University."

(NASDAQ: AAPL) stock might feel that they’ve missed the profit train. Even though Apple stock has recovered quite a bit from its downturn in 2015, the climb was nothing compared to its 900% jump from 2006 to 2012. For income investors though, stock price appreciation is not the only way to make a return. Does Apple pay dividends? Yes. In this article, we are going to take a look at the Apple dividend history and what you can expect in 2017. Apple stock has been around for more than three decades, but it really started gaining momentum after the company’s release of the first “i Phone.” Not only did the device boost AAPL stock’s investor appeal, but it also helped Apple become the largest company in the world by market cap. Today, the i Phone is responsible for generating over 60% of the company’s total revenue. ("

The Dow Jones Industrial Average, arguably the world's most iconic index, has had a rough go of things over the last couple of weeks. The Dow has shed well in excess of 1,000 points since mid-August, and volatility has been off the scale as Wall Street and investors cope with what could be a slowdown in China, an uncertain growth environment in Europe because of Greece, and a befuddled Federal Reserve that isn't sure whether to raise rates in the U. S. or to stand pat. Yet, one positive still working in favor of the Dow and its components is that Wall Street expects profits to grow on an annual basis over the next five years for 28 of 30 components. Just oil giants Exxon Mobil and Chevron are expected to see their bottom-line contract. Because the Dow is comprised of some of the United States' largest companies, it's not typically known for having the fastest-growing stocks. However, a quick screen of Dow stocks actually shows that more than a quarter are projected to grow their EPS by a double-digit percentage over the coming five-year period (at least according to Wall Street). While EPS growth alone isn't enough to tell us whether a stock is worth buying, it's a great jumping-off point for additional research.

(NASDAQ: AAPL) made waves on Monday with the announcement of its first-ever dividend. The Apple dividend will total $2.65 per quarter and is coupled with a $10 billion buyback plan for AAPL stock. The action removed Apple from the list of massive corporations that refused to pay a dividend to shareholders despite mega-cap valuations. But some other corporations out there remain dividend misers despite the Apple move. Who are the largest companies that still refuse to pay dividends? Take a look at these top offenders: Google (NASDAQ: GOOG ): Despite more than $5.2 billion in cash and $34.6 billion in short-term investments on its books, Google still is not among the ranks of dividend-paying stocks. Granted, it just ponied up a huge $12.5 billion payday to buy out Motorola, and it couldn’t use its cash in such ways if it was paying dividends. But the size and balance sheet of this tech giant indicates that at least a nominal dividend yielding 1% would be easily within Google’s power. Google’s market cap as of this writing is well over $205 billion. Berkshire Hathaway (NYSE: BRK."

"text": "\"Have the workings of dividends and dividend distributions mystified you too? Chances are it's not the concept of dividends that confuses you; the ex-dividend date and date of record are the tricky factors. In this article, we'll sort through the dividend payment process and explain on what date the buyer of the stock gets to keep the dividend. Before we explain how it all works, let's go over some of the basics to ensure we have the proper foundation to understand the more complex issues. Some investment terms are thrown around more often than Frisbees on a hot summer day, so it's important that we define exactly what we're talking about. Different Types of Dividends The decision to distribute a dividend is made by a company's board of directors. There is nothing requiring a company to pay a dividend, even if the company has paid dividends in the past. However, many investors view a steady dividend history as an important indicator of a good investment, so most companies are reluctant to reduce or stop their dividend payments. ( For more information on buying dividend-paying stocks, see the articles Put Dividends to Work in Your Portfolio ). Dividends can be paid in various different forms, but there are two major categories: cash and stock."

Toussaint had an abusive relationship with Dr. Dre, who disputed the claims prior to the Lifetime movie and reportedly tried to keep Lifetime from airing the movie. The 45-year-old singer has a son from her relationship with Dre and also has a daughter with ex-husband Suge Knight. After the film first aired, Michel’le wrote, “My love,my goal is to educate 1st n for most…keep in mind what matters. ”My love,my goal is to educate 1st n for most…keep in mind what matters. # takeurtime— Michel'le (@Michellemuzic) October 17, 2016After the success of Surviving Compton, Michel’le signed an overall deal with Thinkfactory Media.

' Star Wars,' Johnny Depp among biggest surprises after nominations announced By Tariq Khan Published January 14, 2016 Fox News Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Now Playing Nominations announced for 88th Academy Awards Nominations for the 88th annual Academy Awards were announced this morning. Many of the names called out were foregone conclusions: “Spotlight” for Best Picture, Leonardo Di Caprio in “The Revenant” for Best Actor, and Cate Blanchett in “Carol” for Best Actress. ADVERTISEMENTBut as usual, it’s some of the names that weren’t called out that really have Tinseltown tongues wagging. Here are the five most glaring and inglorious Oscar snubs of the year.1. “ Star Wars: The Force Awakens”The newest (and highly anticipated) chapter in the long-running saga received stellar reviews and is breaking box office records. With the expanded Best Picture field now including up to ten nominees, “The Force Awakens” looked like a real contender. Alas, the highbrow Academy overlooked it for both Best Picture and Best Director for J. J. Abrams. “ Star Wars” did manage to snag five nods in various technical categories, including John Williams for his dazzling score. When it comes to fighting the Dark Side, “The Force Awakens” seems to have lost with the Academy."

Janice Brand • November 19, 2015 • Read Comments (14)4.41 avg. rating ( 87 % score) - 21 votes For as long as I’ve been driving around looking for New England’s prettiest towns, I’ve never run out of villages that look just like their postcards. A white-steepled church fronts the town green, which is bordered by black-shuttered white clapboard houses; or squat Capes clad in weather-beaten shingles match the shacks where the lobstermen work down by the harbor. Sometimes a friend steers me toward one of these towns. More often I’m lost, and the town is the reward for driving in circles or down endless two-lane roads. Everyone’s definition of a pretty town probably differs, but I look for a sense of time passed by, a preservation of the past, and a very real present. Qualifying towns don’t have to lie far off the beaten path; they may be under your nose. And there should be somewhere to eat. I’m not being romantic when I say I’ve discovered most of these places when lost."

Photon Composition Elementary particle Statistics Bosonic Interactions Electromagnetic, Weak, Gravity Symbol γTheorized Albert Einstein Mass 0 < 1 × 10 −18 e V/ c 2 [1]Mean lifetime Stable [1]Electric charge 0 < 1 × 10 −35 e [1]Spin 1Parity −1 [1]C parity −1 [1]Condensed I ( J P C )=0,1 (1 −−) [1]A photon is a type of elementary particle, the quantum of the electromagnetic field including electromagnetic radiation such as light, and the force carrier for the electromagnetic force (even when static via virtual particles ). The photon has zero rest mass and always moves at the speed of light within a vacuum. Like all elementary particles, photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics and exhibit wave–particle duality, exhibiting properties of both waves and particles. For example, a single photon may be refracted by a lens and exhibit wave interference with itself, and it can behave as a particle with definite and finite measurable position or momentum, though not both at the same time. The photon's wave and quanta qualities are two observable aspects of a single phenomenon, and cannot be described by any mechanical model; [2] a representation of this dual property of light that assumes certain points on the wavefront to be the seat of the energy is not possible. The quanta in a light wave cannot be spatially localized. The modern concept of the photon was developed gradually by Albert Einstein in the early 20th century to explain experimental observations that did not fit the classical wave model of light. The benefit of the photon model was that it accounted for the frequency dependence of light's energy, and explained the ability of matter and electromagnetic radiation to be in thermal equilibrium."

"text": "\"Where Is Area Code 424? Updated: March 26th 2017If you are traveling to the 424 area code, you should be careful not to make a wrong turn and get lost in a sketchy neighborhood. A fairly recent area code, which became effective in 2006, the 424 area code is a split from area code 213. As the first non-mobile area code overlay in the region, the initiation of area code 424 made it impossible for residents to only dial 7-digit numbers in the same area code. Covering most of Santa Monica and Compton, the 424 area code is probably the only thing that the residents of these two cities have in common. Ranked as one of the most dangerous cities in the United States by the FBI, Compton has a particularly dire reputation. With a violent rate that is well above the national average, area code 424 is not the safest place to be. In recent years, city officials have battled violence in novel ways with different social programs. Nevertheless, corruption often prevails even as high as in the city’s government, making it difficult to solve the crime problem on all levels. As a result, the Compton Police Department was split up in 2000 because of corruption charges."

You don't know what's going to happen from day to day, and it can go from cool, quiet and fun to somebody's shot, arrested, murdered or whatever. You can die for no reason. \"\" Related Dr. Dre Talks N. W. A Biopic, Eazy-E's Death, New Music13 things we learned from the producer's interview with Big Boy Growing up in that environment inspired the rapper – along with luminaries Dr. Dre, Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella – to form N. W. A, the controversy-welcoming group responsible for popularizing gangster rap with songs like \"\"Fuck tha Police\"\" and \"\"Gangsta Gangsta.\"\" This summer, he's bringing the group's story to the big screen as one of the producers of Straight Outta Compton, a biopic that covers group's formation in the mid Eighties through Eazy-E's death of AIDS in 1995 — what Ice Cube calls the end of an era. \"\" I wanted to show why we made N. W. A, what made us, what was happening in our lives at the time that made us make music like that,\"\" he says. \"\" And then I wanted to show what influence N. W. A had on the neighborhood. It forged us, and then we changed the 'hood. \"\""

And yeah, the guys who sang \"\"F— tha Police\"\" and \"\"One Less Bitch\"\" have been married for decades. So what's left after you poked mainstream America out of its race slumber 30 years ago? The hot biopic 'Straight Outta Compton': \"\"All this shit really happened. \"\" This story first appeared in the July 31 issue of The Hollywood Reporter magazine. To receive the magazine, click here to subscribe. I'm mustering the nerve to ask Dr. Dre and Ice Cube about the slaying that happened during the shooting of a Straight Outta Compton trailer — about the day in January when Suge Knight turned up on the set and allegedly plowed his pickup truck over two men, including a technical adviser on the film — when the lights go out. We're in a photo studio in Hollywood in mid-July, a month before the release of Universal's $29 million movie telling the (mostly) true story of N. W. A, the groundbreaking hip-hop group that Dre, Cube and three other rappers — Eazy-E, MC Ren and DJ Yella — formed during the 1980s. Dre, now 50, is sitting on a comfy sofa, fussing with the cuffs of his designer jeans. Thirty years ago, he was producing N. W. A's signature song, \"\"F— tha Police\"\"; today, he's a headphones tycoon who lives in Tom Brady 's former mansion in the Brentwood section of Los Angeles."

Soho is a district of central London, part of the West End, famous for jazz, its gay village, sex shops and alternative lifestyles. Understand [ edit]The heart of Soho - this is the intersection of Wardour Street and Old Compton Street - a gay bar, Ann Summers sex shop, a chic cafe and a shoe repairer Orientation [ edit]No official definition of Soho really exists, but for convenience, it is generally considered to be the area enclosed by Piccadilly Circus, Shaftesbury Avenue and Cambridge Circus to the south, Charing Cross Road to the east, Oxford Street to the north, and Regent Street to the west. Oxford Street is the main shopping street in London but much of it is in the Mayfair-Marylebone district. Notionally and historically, Soho continues slightly further north of Oxford Street - therefore stretching into the London Borough of Camden, but this area is nowadays considered part of Fitzrovia. The area immediately surrounding Old Compton Street in the southern part of Soho is widely recognised as London's foremost gay village and is a very stylish part of London indeed. There is some overlap with the red light district, though there has been a decline in prostution and strip bars in the area since the 60's and is not quite as seedy as it once was. Soho is sometimes considered to include London's Chinatown. Chinatown, however, lies south of Shaftesbury Avenue and, having a culture distinctly different from the rest of the West End, adjoining - but not really part of - Soho. History [ edit]Soho has a long and colourful history."

"text": "NBANBA PM: Largest NBA Shoe Deals Under Armour just extended Steph Curry’s contract through 2024. Here’s a look at the most lucrative shoe deals. Published3 years agoon September 21, 2015By Joel Brigham Error: network This week has been a big one in terms of shoe deals for NBA players, with Stephen Curry agreeing to the most lucrative shoe deal in Under Armour history and James Harden making waves by wearing a pair of Jordans mere weeks after agreeing to a $200 million deal to endorse adidas sneakers. Neither of those players are the highest-paid shoe endorsers currently in the business, however, as there are others making more on shoe deals than either Curry or Harden. But before we get into the list of the largest shoe deals, it must be stated that a lot of these contracts are heavily based on incentives such as player accomplishments and sales. Rarely does a player actually receive the full reported amount in a shoe deal, as that money isn’t fully guaranteed. Here’s a look at the biggest annual endorsement contracts currently in the league:#10 – Blake Griffin, $6 million/year, Jordan Brand – Few NBA stars are more marketable than Griffin, so $6 million for a player that likeable and that talented in a market as big as Los Angeles is an absolute steal for Jordan Brand. Jordan Brand has put Griffin front and center, marketing him heavily in commercials (like the recent Marvin the Martian spot) and even a television show (BGCP3TV in HD) with teammate and fellow Jordan Brand endorser Chris Paul.#9 – Damian Lillard, $10 million/year, adidas – Lillard only recently debuted his first signature shoe, and while it’s a good one, it is easy to look at a $100 million investment in a player like Lillard as a bit of a risk. With La Marcus Aldridge gone, the Blazers won’t be quite as exciting a team, but that doesn’t mean Lillard won’t be thrilling as the head honcho in a market that absolutely adores its basketball team. Still, it’s the biggest paycheck on this list for a player with the fewest actual accomplishments so far."

"text": "Preventive Veterinary Medicine Volume 110, Issues 3–4, 1 July 2013, Pages 456-466Farmers’ attitudes to disease risk management in England: A comparative analysis of sheep and pig farmers C. J. Garforth A. P. Bailey R. B. Tranter Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/j.prevetmed.2013.02.018 Get rights and content Abstract The UK Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) identified practices to reduce the risk of animal disease outbreaks. We report on the response of sheep and pig farmers in England to promotion of these practices. A conceptual framework was established from research on factors influencing adoption of animal health practices, linking knowledge, attitudes, social influences and perceived constraints to the implementation of specific practices. Qualitative data were collected from nine sheep and six pig enterprises in 2011. Thematic analysis explored attitudes and responses to the proposed practices, and factors influencing the likelihood of implementation. Most feel they are doing all they can reasonably do to minimise disease risk and that practices not being implemented are either not relevant or ineffective. There is little awareness and concern about risk from unseen threats. Pig farmers place more emphasis than sheep farmers on controlling wildlife, staff and visitor management and staff training. The main factors that influence livestock farmers’ decision on whether or not to implement a specific disease risk measure are: attitudes to, and perceptions of, disease risk; attitudes towards the specific measure and its efficacy; characteristics of the enterprise which they perceive as making a measure impractical; previous experience of a disease or of the measure; and the credibility of information and advice. Great importance is placed on access to authoritative information with most seeing vets as the prime source to interpret generic advice from national bodies in the local context."

My girlfriend works at a pharmacy where she is the only non-Patel (seriously.

It is the Indian equivalant of Smith or Jones, so you're likely to find a high percentage of Indians with that last name who are not related. I have met a Patel who was a doctor in India, FWIW Currently, there is no formal caste system in India.

Spring was tardy and continued very dry. The growing season from late spring to early fall, however, was punctuated by a series of devastating cold waves that did major damage to the crops and greatly reduced the food supply. In areas of central and northern New England, the summer had only two extended periods without frost or near freezing temperatures. A widespread snow fell in June. As a result, corn did not ripen and hay, fruits, and vegetables were greatly reduced in quantity and quality. From contemporary newspaper accounts and diary entries as well as a small network of stations at which meteorological conditions were recorded daily, it is possible document the turn of events in the summer of 1816.

Understanding this was a time consuming undertaking I figured I’d shelf it and get to it later. As with the majority of what I’ve worked on, it sits on the shelf (desktop). That is until I received an email from a reader within an hour mentioning this specific idea. In the time I’ve been doing whatever it is I do, I had never thought of pursuing this and I had never received an email referencing it. More specifically, in the 12,480 hours I’ve had this website the idea never came up but when it did it was a double tap within the same hour, or a .008% chance. I felt compelled to proceed. This is about symbolism. The meaning of names speaks to a prophetic message but the corresponding etymologies to each President does not lay specific claim to their role or character. We are taking a big picture approach to something that extends far beyond the realms of human reason."

"text": "\"WILLIAM H. CAIN Since 1851 W. H. Cain has been a resident of Warren County and throughout the years of his manhood he has been prominently identified with its development especially along agricultural lines. He was born in Meigs County, Ohio, on the 15th of October 1845, and was only four years of age when he accompanied his parents on their removal to Iowa, two years being spent at Ottumwa before they located in Warren County. Here his father followed both farming and carpentering and both he and his wife died in this County. W. H. Cain grew to manhood upon a farm and acquired his education in the local schools. Although only sixteen years of age he joined the boys in blue, enlisting on the 8th of August, 1861, as a private in Company B, Tenth Iowa Volunteer Infantry, and his first engagement was at Charleston, Missouri. He was in thirty-one important battles, including some of the most hard-fought engagements of the war, and was severely wounded at Corinth, being confined in a hospital for three weeks. He then rejoined his regiment and remained at the front until hostilities ceased, being honorably discharged at Little Rock, Arkansas in August, 1865. After his return home he worked on a farm by the month for several years. Mr. Cain married Lavena Myrick, who was born and reared in this County, being a daughter of Eli Myrick, whose sketch appears on another page of this volume. To them has been born one daughter, Edith, and by a former marriage Mrs. Cain has a son, James E. Sandy, who is now a farmer of Milestone, Canada."

For purposes of the discussion and timeline presented here, a paper clip is a flat or nearly flat piece of metal that slides over an edge of a set of papers and holds the papers together without being bent or pinched by the user and without piercing the papers. A large majority of different paper clip models were made by bending single pieces of resilient spring steel wire. Three others were stamped from sheet metal (Eureka, Sheet Brass Gothic, Proco) and another four (Angell, Utility, Vise, Acme Correspondence) were made by folding small pieces of resilient sheet steel. One (Nifty) was made by bending a wire into a spiral and then flattening it. Recently some paper clips have been made of plastic, but these are not covered here. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, the term \"\"paper clip\"\" was also used to refer to a spring loaded clip that was generally two or more inches long. This type of clip was also called a \"\"letter clip.\"\" We consider these devices on our web page dealing with small filing devices. When were paper clips introduced?"

In a time when nary a day goes by without a story about the death of print media, The Old Farmer’s Almanac has not just survived—it has flourished. How Has the Almanac Thrived All These Years? According to Publisher Sherin Pierce, the Almanac’s success is about having a team—from editorial to distribution—that is fully engaged in the product and dedicated to staying true to the brand’s identity. “You can never take a year off,” says Pierce. “ Sales might be strong, but that’s just reason to work even harder to truly understand the audience and how they engage with the book and the brand as a whole. ”During the past several years, the Almanac brand has expanded its reach from the tried-and-true annual print edition to encompass The Old Farmer’s Almanac for Kids, The Garden Guide, and a series of cookbooks with themes that resonate with Almanac readers, such as Comfort Food, Everyday Baking, and Cooking Fresh. In late 2015, the Almanac launched EXTRA! from The Old Farmer’s Almanac, a monthly digital-only title that includes features on astronomy, history, gardening, DIY, food, humor, and even an updated weather forecast."

In the Paleolithic era, there were more than one human species but only one survived until the Neolithic era. Paleolithic humans lived a nomadic lifestyle in small groups. They used primitive stone tools and their survival depended heavily on their environment and climate. Neolithic humans discovered agriculture and animal husbandry, which allowed them to settle down in one area.

C., shelters were built using thick timber posts, clay and stone for the foundation and walls, while roofs were made from tree trunks, clay and hay. Other characteristics varied, depending on the region and whether the shelter was built during the early, middle or late Neolithic period. Continue Reading Keep Learning How Do You Build a Straw-Bale Home? What Were Some Hallmarks of the Neolithic Revolution? What Did Neolithic People Eat? Full Answer During the Neolithic period, people gradually became less nomadic as they learned to farm, domesticate animals and store food. They began to prefer permanent dwellings close to their farms and herds where they lived in settlements for protection. Shelters in the early Neolithic period were freestanding, one-room huts made of posts. European farmers began to build larger versions of these huts called long houses, which had no windows and one door."

There are early Neolithic cultures in Southeast Anatolia, Syria and Iraq by 8000 BC, and food-producing societies first appear in southeast Europe by 7000 BC, and Central Europe by c. 5500 BC (of which the earliest cultural complexes include the Starčevo-Koros (Cris), Linearbandkeramic, and Vinča ). With the exception of the Andes, the Isthmo-Columbian area and Western Mesoamerica (and a few copper hatchets and spear heads in the Great Lakes region ), the people of the Americas and the Pacific remained at the Neolithic level of technology up until the time of Western contact.

"text": "\"from Wikipedia Website The Basque people (Basque: Euskaldunak) are an indigenous people inhabiting adjacent areas of Spain and France. Their history is therefore interconnected with Spanish and French history and also with the history of many other past and present countries, particularly in Europe and the Americas. Origin of the Basques First historical references Location of the ancient tribes · Red: Basque and other pre-Indoeuropean tribes · Blue: Celtic tribes In the 1st century AD, Strabo wrote that the northern parts of what are now Navarre (Nafarroa in Basque) and Aragon were inhabited by the Vascones. Despite the evident etymological connection between Vascones and the modern denomination Basque, there is no proof that the Vascones were the modern Basques' ancestors or spoke the language that has evolved into modern Basque, although this is strongly suggested both by the historically consistent toponymy of the area and by a few personal names on tombstones dating from the Roman period. Three different peoples inhabited the territory of the present Basque Autonomous Community: the Varduli, Caristii and Autrigones. Historical sources do not state whether these tribes were related to the Vascones and/or the Aquitani. Recent archaeological finds at Iruña-Veleia (Araba) have brought to light some early Basque texts [1], [2]. Otherwise, the area where a Basque-related language is best attested from an early period is Gascony, to the north of the present-day Basque Country, the ancient inhabitants of which, the Aquitani, may have spoken a language related to Basque. ( The extinct Aquitanian language should not be confused with Gascon, the Romance language that has been spoken in Aquitaine since the Middle Ages.) During the Middle Ages the name Vascones and its derivates (including Basque) were extended to cover the entire Basque-speaking population of the present-day Basque Country. Prehistory: the mainstream view Although little is known about the prehistory of the Basques before the period of Roman occupation owing to the difficulty in identifying evidence for specific cultural traits, the mainstream view today is that the Basque area shows signs of archaeological continuity since the Aurignacian period."

It is both a tourist attraction and a place of religious importance to contemporary pagans. Constructed over several hundred years in the Third Millennium BC, [1] during the Neolithic, or New Stone Age, the monument comprises a large henge (a bank and a ditch) with a large outer stone circle and two separate smaller stone circles situated inside the centre of the monument. Its original purpose is unknown, although archaeologists believe that it was most likely used for some form of ritual or ceremony. The Avebury monument is a part of a larger prehistoric landscape containing several older monuments nearby, including West Kennet Long Barrow and Silbury Hill.

"text": "\" (Fire and Cooking in Human Evolution--continued, Part C)When was fire first controlled by human beings? So the next question is obvious: How long have fire and cooking been around, then, and how do we know whether that length of time has been long enough for us to have adapted sufficiently? Let's take the question one part at a time. The short answer to the first part of the question is that fire was first controlled by humans anywhere from about 230,000 years ago to 1.4 or 1.5 million years ago, depending on which evidence you accept as definitive. Evidence for very early control of fire is sparse and ambiguous. The earliest evidence for control of fire by humans, in the form of fires at Swartkrans, South Africa and at Chesowanja, in Kenya, suggests that it may possibly have been in use there as early as about 1.4 or 1.5 million years ago. [ 100] However, the interpretation of the physical evidence at these early sites has been under question in the archaeological community for some years now, with critics saying these fires could have been wildfires instead of human- made fires. They suggest the evidence for human control of fire might be a misreading of other factors, such as magnesium- staining of soils, which can mimic the results of fire if not specifically accounted for. For indisputable evidence of fire intentionally set and controlled by humans, the presence of a hearth or circle of scorched stones is often demanded as conclusive proof, [101] and at these early sites, the evidence tying the fires to human control is based on other factors. Earliest dates for control of fire accepted by skeptical critics."

Answer by Jake Mc Ewan Confidence votes 231One of the main differences between the Palaeolithic and Neolithic periods was in the main methods people used to acquire food. In the Palaeolithic, anatomically modern humans and their ancestors were mainly nomadic hunter gatherers. By the Neolithic people had developed farming, allowing them to live in settlements such as villages and towns. Diet also changed as a result of people eating more cereals and other farmed crops. Compared to the Neolithic, the Palaeolithic people had a far less complex technology. They used basic stone, bone and antler tools and developments such as art and other forms of \"\"higher culture\"\" only occur in the later stages of the Palaeolithic. Neolithic people mastered the use of many more types of raw material, notably clays to make pottery and the beginnings of metalworking. Exchange and trade networks were also comparatively more developed.65 people found this useful Was this answer useful?"

Chinese Geography and the Neolithic Just like everywhere else in the world, China did not just become China the day that people moved in. There is evidence of a human ancestor called 'Homo erectus' living in China many millennia earlier. However, the oldest human remains in China have been dated between 18,000 and 11,000 BC. These early humans were nomadic, meaning they travelled continuously for food rather than settling in one place. This changed around 10,000 BC, when people adopted a sedentary lifestyle, living in one place with non-mobile homes. The period when humans first transitioned from nomadic to sedentary lives is the called the Neolithic Era. The Neolithic was characterized by a major development that allowed people to stay in one place all year long: agriculture, or the domestication of plants and animals."

"text": "\"May 2014, Cover Stories, General Anthropology The different paths of the Neolithic revolution in Egypt and Sudan By Melanie Boyd Fri, Apr 11, 2014The Neolithic revolution has taken different paths in the neighbouring countries of Egypt and Sudan. This article examines these variations by comparing food production, settlement patterns, society and culture in Egypt and Sudan and analyses the reasons for the different developments. The transition from Mesolithic to Neolithic, often called the Neolithic revolution, has taken different paths in different areas around the world. Even in regions very close together, like Egypt and Sudan, it happened differently. In this article, I will explore these differences by looking at the main areas of the Neolithic revolution: food production, settlement patterns and society and culture. I will define Neolithic Revolution in general, and describe what most scholars mean when they talk about this term. Then, I will concentrate on the Neolithic Revolution in Egypt and Sudan and show that in most areas, significant differences exist, whilst in some areas, transition patterns were similar. Finally, I will briefly discuss why clear differences exist between two neighbouring countries, before arriving at a conclusion. Defining the Neolithic Revolution The term \"\"Neolithic Revolution\"\" was first used by V. G. Childe in 1941 to describe the origin and consequences of farming, meaning the development of livestock herding and agriculture, and as a result the widespread development of settled village life (Renfrew and Bahn 2008: 582). The term thus describes a change from hunter-gatherers to food-producing societies."

It is an archaeological era in the prehistory and protohistory of Europe and the Ancient Near East, and by analogy also used of other parts of the Old World. The three-age system was introduced in the first half of the 19th century for the archaeology of Europe in particular, and by the later 19th century expanded to the archaeology of the Ancient Near East. [ 1] As its name suggests, Iron Age technology is characterized by the production of tools and weaponry by ferrous metallurgy ( ironworking ), more specifically from carbon steel. The duration of the Iron Age varies depending on the region under consideration. It is defined by archaeological convention, and the mere presence of cast or wrought iron is not sufficient to represent an Iron Age culture; rather, the term \"\"Iron Age\"\" implies that the production of carbon steel has been perfected to the point where mass production of tools and weapons superior to their bronze equivalents become possible. In the Ancient Near East, this transition takes place in the wake of the so-called Bronze Age collapse, in the 12th century BC. The technology soon spreads throughout the Mediterranean region and to South Asia."

One of the most famous prehistoric sites in the world, Stonehenge is composed of earthworks surrounding a circular setting of large standing stones. Archaeologists had believed that the iconic stone monument was erected around 2500 BC. However one recent theory has suggested that the first stones were not erected until 2400-2200 BC, while another suggests that bluestones may have been erected at the site as early as 3000 BC. The surrounding circular earth bank and ditch, which constitute the earliest phase of the monument, have been dated to about 3100 BC. The site and its surroundings were added to the UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites in 1986 in a co-listing with Avebury henge monument, and it is also a legally protected Scheduled Ancient Monument. Stonehenge itself is owned by the Crown and managed by English Heritage while the surrounding land is owned by the National Trust. New archaeological evidence found by the Stonehenge Riverside Project indicates that Stonehenge served as a burial ground from its earliest beginnings. The dating of cremated remains found that burials took place as early as 3000 B. C, when the first ditches were being built around the monument. Burials continued at Stonehenge for at least another 500 years when the giant stones which mark the landmark were put up."

Archaeologists excavating this Neolithic village in the nation of Georgia found pieces of clay pots containing residues of the world's oldest wine. Photograph by Stephen Batiuk By Andrew Curry PUBLISHED November 13, 2017On a small rise less than 20 miles south of Tbilisi, Georgia, a clutch of round, mud-brick houses rises from a green, fertile river valley. The mound is called Gadachrili Gora, and the Stone Age farmers who lived here 8,000 years ago were grape lovers: Their rough pottery is decorated with bunches of the fruit, and analysis of pollen from the site suggests the wooded hillsides nearby were once decked with grapevines. In a paper published today in the journal PNAS, an international team of archaeologists has conclusively shown what all those grapes were for. The people living at Gadachrili Gora and a nearby village were the world’s earliest known vintners—producing wine on a large scale as early as 6,000 B. C., a time when prehistoric humans were still reliant on stone and bone tools.1 / 3Winemaking has deep roots in the nation of Georgia, where a vintner pours a traditional white wine from a cup inscribed with the names of his forebears.

The term also denotes the first period in which metal was used. The date at which the age began varied with regions; in Greece and China, for instance, the Bronze Age began before 3000 bce, whereas in Britain it did not start until about 1900 bce. The beginning of the period is sometimes called the Chalcolithic (Copper-Stone) Age, referring to the initial use of pure copper (along with its predecessor toolmaking material, stone). Scarce at first, copper was initially used only for small or precious objects. Its use was known in eastern Anatolia by 6500 bce, and it soon became widespread. By the middle of the 4th millennium, a rapidly developing copper metallurgy, with cast tools and weapons, was a factor leading to urbanization in Mesopotamia. By 3000 the use of copper was well known in the Middle East, had extended westward into the Mediterranean area, and was beginning to infiltrate the Neolithic cultures of Europe. This early copper phase is commonly thought of as part of the Bronze Age, though true bronze, an alloy of copper and tin, was used only rarely at first. During the 2nd millennium the use of true bronze greatly increased; the tin deposits at Cornwall, England, were much used and were responsible for a considerable part of the large production of bronze objects at that time."

Humans developed stone tools about 2,000,000 years ago, beginning what is known as the Stone Age. The Stone Age can be divided into two basic periods: the Paleolithic era, or Old Stone Age, and the Neolithic era, or New Stone Age. The main difference between the Paleolithic and Neolithic eras is the development of agriculture. This transition from food gathering to food producing, i.e. agriculture, is known as the Neolithic Revolution. This transition allows for the development of permanent settlements in some areas. Domestication of both plants and animals plays a key role in the transition from food gathering to food producing. It is the Neolithic Revolution that allows the later development of civilizations. The term \"\"civilization\"\" refers to a complex society that develops because of its food surplus that exists from the development of agriculture. The first civilizations developed in several river valleys around the world: the Tigris-Euphrates River Valley, the Nile River Valley, the Indus River Valley, the Huang He River Valley."

"text": "The term Neolithic Period refers to the last stage of the Stone Age - a term coined in the late 19th century CE by scholars which covers three different periods: Palaeolithic, Mesolithic, and Neolithic. The Neolithic period is significant for its megalithic architecture, the spread of agricultural practices, and the use of polished stone tools. Chronology The term Neolithic or New Stone Age is most frequently used in connection with agriculture, which is the time when cereal cultivation and animal domestication was introduced. Because agriculture developed at different times in different regions of the world, there is no single date for the beginning of the Neolithic. In the Near East, agriculture was developed around 9,000 BCE, in Southeast Europe around 7,000 BCE, and later in other regions. Even within a specific region, agriculture developed during different times. For example, agriculture first developed in Southeast Europe about 7,000 BCE, in Central Europe about 5,500 BCE, and Northern Europe about 4,000 BCE. In East Asia, the Neolithic goes from 6000 to 2000 BCE. The development of Neolithic culture appears to have been a gradual rather than a sudden change. Pottery is another element that makes the dating of the Neolithic problematic."

Explore the definition and characteristics of the Neolithic Period, and test your understanding about the ancient world and the development of human civilization. New Stones The Neolithic Period, or 'New Stone Age,' is a term to describe a series of changes in human social behaviors and lifestyle. Most important among these changes are the development of agriculture, more complex society, the domestication of animals, and a sedentary lifestyle. A sedentary lifestyle is a non-mobile culture that stays in one place rather than migrating around. The Neolithic Period began in different parts of the world at different times, the first occurring around 10,200 BCE in the Middle East, and it lasted until the development of metal tools around 4,500 and 2,000 BCE. The Neolithic is the last part of the Stone Age, and was replaced by the Bronze Age and use of bronze tools. Neolithic tools for making grinding grains into flour Starting the Neolithic The first Neolithic culture is credited to an area around modern-day Jericho, around 10,200 BCE in an area called the Fertile Crescent. The Fertile Crescent got its name because of its desirable qualities for agriculture and the shape of the region formed by the Tigris and Euphrates rivers. There was a tradition of harvesting wild grains in this area, which turned into true farming or domesticating grains."

Kara and Barry wake up without their powers in an alternate reality where life is like a musical and the only way to escape is by following the script, complete with singing and dancing, to the end. ”Dermott Downs directed the episode with story by Greg Berlanti & Andrew Kreisberg and teleplay by Aaron Helbing & Todd Helbing."

Just a few weeks ago, the network announced that Supergirl will, in fact, be moving forward to series, also releasing a first look trailer at that time. With Supergirl officially headed to our televisions next TV season, now seems to be a great time to compile what we know about the series and present it in an easily digestible form. Here’s everything we've figured out about CBS’ Supergirl . When Will It Air? We’ve been hearing about CBS’ Supergirl for months, and we're finally getting close to the actual premiere date. When CBS announced its fall schedule, we learned the network plans to air Supergirl on Monday nights at 8 p.m. ET next TV season. Unfortunately, the premiere won’t actually hit the schedule until October 26, 2015, after Thursday Night Football ends its run. The very first episode is getting a Big Bang Theory lead-in and will air at 8:30 p.m. ET on CBS. Earlier in the fall, you can catch The Big Bang Theory and Life in Pieces in Supergirl ’s place."

"text": "48 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Black Lightning Sets Premiere Date; Legends of Tomorrow is Moving By Kevin Yeoman11.16.20175 Comments48 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Advertising [x]Months after The CW teased viewers with an elaborate sneak peek of Black Lightning, its newest DC Comics superhero offering, the network finally announces an early 2018 premiere date for the series that will postpone the return of Legends of Tomorrow season 3 until February. The late start for the time-traveling heroes aboard the Waverider means Black Lightning will take their prime Tuesday night at 9pm real estate with The Flash as a lead-in, potentially providing the show with a healthy audience when it makes its debut. The announcement comes as part of The CW’s updated midseason 2018 schedule that sees the majority of its Arrowverse shows returning from the holiday hiatus in mid-January, along with shows like Riverdale, Dynasty, Crazy Ex-Girlfriend, and Jane the Virgin. Valor the network’s military drama that premiered earlier this year is the lone standout, as it will resume airing new episodes starting on New Year’s Day. Related: The Cast of Riverdale Thinks Jingle Jangle is as Funny as You Do Advertising [x]A delayed return for Legends of Tomorrow also means that the series will return with a new night and time. The most likely place on the schedule will be Monday nights following Supergirl, once the network has burned off the remaining episodes of Valor season 1, which ends on January 29. Check out The CW’s updated schedule below for the various midseason premiere dates: MONDAY, JANUARY 18:00-9:00 PM SUPERGIRL (Encore)9:00-10:00 PM VALOR (New Episode)FRIDAY, JANUARY 58:00-9:00 PM CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND (New Episode)9:00-10:00 PM PENN & TELLER: FOOL US (Encore)MONDAY, JANUARY 158:00-9:00 PM SUPERGIRL (New Episode)9:00-10:00 PM VALOR (New Episode)TUESDAY, JANUARY 168:00-9:00 PM THE FLASH (New Episode)9:00-10:00 PM BLACK LIGHTNING (Series Premiere)WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 178:00-9:00 PM RIVERDALE (New Episode)9:00-10:00 PM DYNASTY (New Episode)THURSDAY, JANUARY 188:00-9:00 PM SUPERNATURAL (New Episode)9:00-10:00 PM ARROW (New Episode)FRIDAY, JANUARY 268:00-9:00 PM CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND (New Episode)9:00-10:00 PM JANE THE VIRGIN (New Episode)Advertising [x]Of all the Arrowverse shows, Legends of Tomorrow is perhaps the most flexible in terms of what series it is best paired with, though it’s also the one most in need of a strong lead. Placing the series after The Flash not only gave Legends a solid lead-in audience but it also provided The CW with a block of superhero shows that freed up a night of the week (aside from Friday) for less superhero-oriented programming like Riverdale and Dynasty. The successful pairing may have served as a test case for Black Lightning ‘s eventual placement on the schedule, and in the event that Legends does take the Monday night at 9pm slot, its pairing with Supergirl should make for another strong superhero block of TV for the network. The January premiere date for Black Lightning is something of a pleasant surprise and an indication that production on the series is running smoothly."

"text": "52 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Supergirl Ratings Spike With The Flash Crossover Episode By Sandy Schaefer03.29.201632 Comments52 Shares Share On Facebook Tweet Share Email Share Share Pin It Share Comment Advertising [x]The Supergirl TV show started out as a significant hit in the ratings for CBS, but the DC Comics-based TV series has cooled off in that respect since then – and though there remains good reason to think that network heads will ultimately put in an order for more adventures with Kara Zor-El/Danvers (Melissa Benoist), at the time of writing this Supergirl has not been officially renewed for a second season. Fortunately, the superhero TV show’s recent crossover with The CW’s own DC Comics series, The Flash, will only improve the odds of Supergirl season 2 getting a green-light. Kara’s first encounter with Gran Gustin’s Barry Allen on the Supergirl season 1 episode titled ‘Worlds Finest’ arrived at at time when superheroes are more prone to fighting each other than immediately working together – be it on the small screen (see Daredevil vs. Punisher in Daredevil season 2) and/or, of course, the big screen with the release of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice in theaters. Being a different kind of superhero crossover seemed to work out for ‘Worlds Finest’ too, as the crossover episode resulted in Supergirl ‘s highest ratings in several weeks. Advertising [x]According to the national estimates from Nielsen (per Variety ), the Supergirl / The Flash crossover episode averaged a 1/7 rating/6 shares in adults 18-49 and 7.2 million viewers overall – an increase of 31% from the previous two Supergirl season 1 episodes, though not enough to beat out NBC’s The Voice in its timeslot. The ratings for ‘Worlds Finest’ were also good by The Flash ‘s standards, as the most recent episode in that show’s second season, ‘Trajectory’, averaged a 1.1 rating/4 share in adults 18-49 and 3 million viewers overall. By comparison, Fox’s own DC Comics-based TV show Gotham (which likewise airs on Monday evenings/nights) averaged a 1.3 rating/5 share and 3.8 million viewers overall during its episode this week, ‘Prisoners’. ‘Worlds Finest’ similarly amassed its fair share of positive reviews, in addition to earning good ratings by Supergirl and The Flash ‘s standards alike. Vox ‘s review/breakdown praised the episode as being an entertaining “madcap superhero team-up caper” that even offers something for the viewers who are familiar with only The Flash or Supergirl (not both), while IGN ‘s own review similarly praised ‘Worlds Finest’ for being “one of [Supergirl’s] strongest episodes to date.” On top of that, many a review has noted that the lighter-hearted tone of the Supergirl / The Flash crossover (an episode that includes scenes of its heroes eating ice cream and offering each other supportive life advice, among other things) was a refreshing change of pace from the tropes featured in the recent superhero crossover events – and future ones too (see Captain America: Civil War )."

[ 1] Supergirl was a spin-off from the popular 1978 film Superman, and Marc Mc Clure reprises his role of Jimmy Olsen. The movie performed poorly at the box office and failed to impress critics or audiences; Peter O'Toole received a Golden Raspberry Award nomination for Worst Actor for his performance, while Faye Dunaway received a Worst Actress nomination for hers.

Superman III [ edit]Supergirl was originally planned for Superman III, in a treatment written by Ilya Salkind. In a bizarre twist from the comics, Supergirl was to be the surrogate daughter of Brainiac (who later is possessively in love with her) who falls in love with Superman, who in the film was to be portrayed as her lover instead of cousin, contrary to all previous depictions.

"text": "Crossover Confirmed: ‘The Flash’ To Meet ‘Supergirl’ In March Episode Ross A. Lincoln Deadline February 3, 2016Executive producers Greg Berlanti and Andrew Kreisberg have been talking up the possibility since last summer, but today the CW and CBS have made it official: The DC Television multiverse becomes real in March when CW’s The Flash star Grant Gustin guests on an episode of CBS’ Supergirl. Set to air March 28, details about the episode will be revealed at a later date. At least for now, the crossover will be one-way only. While it’s likely at least in part a matter of budget ( Supergirl is more expensive than The Flash ), we’ve been told by sources close to the two shows that the in-universe reason is that Barry Allen/The Flash (Gustin) is able to cross dimensions while, at least for now, Supergirl ( Melissa Benoist) cannot. Before fans cry foul, that’s keeping with the current storyline on The Flash, which deals with the aftermath of a dimensional rift opened between “Earth One” and “Earth Two” that is connected to The Flash’s super-speed superpowers. “We are so incredibly excited to announce something that we have dreamed of happening since we starting making Supergirl ,” Berlanti and Kreisberg said in a statement. “ We want to thank Grant Gustin for making the time to come visit (on top of his already immense workload) and all of the folks at CBS, The CW, Warner Bros. and DC for working this out. And finally thanks to the fans and journalists who have kept asking for this to happen. It is our pleasure and hope to create an episode worthy of everyone’s enthusiasm and support. ”Multi-dimensional weirdness has long been a staple of the DC comic book universe."

The CBS series – which stars Melissa Benoist as Superman’s younger cousin – has received an incredible amount of flack ever since the first footage debuted, proving to be one of the more divisive comic book-inspired shows in recent years (well before its network premiere). Nevertheless, Supergirl ‘s October 2015 premiere is nearing ever closer, and as it does, we are learning more and more about what to expect from the show beyond its pilot episode (read our review). Production has already restarted for the television program, and we have confirmation about another new cast member who could end up having a major presence on the show during its freshman season. THR is reporting that Jenna Dewan-Tatum has joined the cast of Supergirl in the recurring role of Lucy Lane. The younger sister of Lois Lane, Lucy is often portrayed in the comics as a love interest of Jimmy Olsen, and with Mehcad Brooks playing Olsen on the new show, she will reportedly have a history with his character that mirrors this dynamic. Advertising [x]Dewan – who will first appear in Supergirl episode three – recently starred on the short-lived Lifetime series Witches of East End, as well as the (also short-lived) NBC crime/drama The Playboy Club . She also had a recurring role on American Horror Story ‘s second season ( Asylum) and previously shared the screen with her husband, Channing Tatum, in such films as Step Up and 10 Years. It has previously been reported that Lucy Lane would be appearing on the Supergirl TV show, but the question remains as to whether or not the character will assume her alter-ego of Superwoman (as she does in the DC source comics). Likely, Supergirl will simply start off with Lucy as a non-powered side character before considering to introduce her superpowers."

The theme would be revisited in a 1947 Superman comic in which a pair of fraudulent magicians cast a \"\"spell\"\" on Lane, making her believe she has superpowers. Superman is forced to play along with the ruse for a time, using super-speed to invisibly intervene in Lane's adventures, supporting the illusion.

A typical example of this is \"\"The Turnabout Powers\"\" from Superman Family, where the Earth-Two Lois Lane gained powers from her husband (the Earth-Two Superman) through the unexpected effect of an exotic extraterrestrial plant Superman had brought into their home. The plant's death reversed the effect. Another example would be in the Batman/Superman: World's Finest mini-series where Mr. Mxyzptlk briefly transformed Lois into a \"\"Superwoman\"\" with costume and powers."

Review Caroline Preece Dec 17, 2015j20 Comments This review contains spoilers. See related Supergirl episode 7 review: Human For A Day Supergirl episode 6 review: Red-Faced Supergirl episode 5 review: How Does She Do It? Supergirl episode 4 review: Livewire Supergirl episode 3 review: Fight Or Flight Supergirl episode 2 review: Stronger Together Supergirl episode 1 review: Pilot1.8 Hostile Takeover Few things are perfect right out of the gate, and even fewer things have the amount of expectations Supergirl had on its shoulders from its first episode. This show hasn't offered the grim nuance of Jessica Jones or even the giddy joy of The Flash, but at least it's managed to do something different. We're in an age where it's almost impossible to watch every comic book-themed show on television, let alone everything on offer to geek audiences right now, and I feel like Supergirl can't be faulted for finding its own niche and sticking to it. That said, these last two episodes have been very good examples of what the show has been trying to do from the start, but that's not to say it's always done a stellar job. It's been clumsy and awkward for the most part, but there's been a confidence to both this mid-season finale and its preceding episode that gives me lots of hope for the future of the show. Without doubt, Hostile Takeover was a showcase for what Supergirl can be when its firing on all cylinders. It didn’t trade in its heavy feminist message or ignore any of the characters, but it did introduce a genuine threat for Kara, drag familial tensions back into play and let Melissa Benoist get her teeth into material beyond what the show has been asking of her from week to week. Two complementary storylines run side-by-side, as has been Supergirl 's go-to narrative style, with Cat becoming a victim of hacking just as Astra re-enters Kara's life."

Heck, we wrote up an opinion piece on that very subject soon after we saw “The Adventures of Supergirl” season premiere. TV rarely has gone too long without a Superman show, at least since 1988, and the Supergirl producers seem to have struck gold with Hoechlin’s casting. So are the producers planning a spinoff? Supergirl Executive Producer Andrew Kreisberg was asked that very question at a Q&A last week. “We’re so happy with what we get to do,” Kreisberg said, thankful for the episodes they were given to play with the iconic character. “ I don’t mean for that to sounds as bad as it does, but we asked if we could have Superman in the first episode, and DC and Warner Bros. said ‘you could have him for the first two episodes’ and we were like ‘great!’ I’m not going to sit here and say that there’s never going to be a world in which there’s a Superman TV show and that Tyler’s going to star in it — I don’t know what the future holds, but right now that’s not our focus,” he said. “Right now, we’re working on Supergirl, which is the flagship, and we’re working on a way for Tyler to reprise the role,” he continued. “"

"text": "By Perry Stein April 5, 2016 Email the author Students from New Jersey vie for fireman’s hats given out by representatives of the D. C. fire department during the parade on Pennsylvania Avenue last year. ( Michael S. Williamson/The Washington Post)The rest of the country might finally learn about D. C. Emancipation Day — a holiday little known beyond the District that marks the anniversary of the abolition of slavery in the nation’s capital. This year, the holiday, which shuts down city government, will be celebrated April 15, also known as Tax Day. And because of the conjuction, the entire country gets a three-day reprieve on filing 2015 tax returns, making the official tax filing deadline Monday, April 18. Emancipation Day usually is celebrated April 16, the date in 1862 when President Abraham Lincoln signed the Compensated Emancipation Act, which freed about 3,100 slaves living in the District. But this year, April 16 falls on a Saturday, so the District will celebrate the holiday on April 15, a Friday. D. C. holidays are treated as federal holidays for tax-filing purposes, according to the Internal Revenue Service. That pushes the official tax-filing deadline to the next business day, April 18. And, everyone — residents of Florida, California and everywhere in between — will receive an extension, not just D. C. residents. “When April 15 falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday, a return is considered timely filed if it is filed on the next succeeding day that is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday,” IRS spokesman Ubon Mendie said in an email. “"

See emancipation proclamation text Emancipation Proclamation summary: The Emancipation Proclamation was issued by President Abraham Lincoln on January 1, 1863, as the country entered the third year of the Civil War. It declared that \"\"all persons held as slaves … shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free\"\"—but it applied only to states designated as being in rebellion, not to the slave-holding border states of Delaware, Kentucky, Maryland, and Missouri or to areas of the Confederacy that had already come under Union control. The careful planning of this document, with Lincoln releasing it at just the right moment in the war, ensured that it had a great positive impact on the Union efforts and redefined the purpose of the war. The Emancipation Proclamation continues to be a symbol of equality and social justice. The First Confiscation Act In August 1861, Congress passed the First Confiscation Act, authorizing the confiscation of any property—including slaves—used in the rebellion against the U. S. government. Later that month, Union major general John C. Fremont, commander of the Department of the West, issued an order declaring martial law in Missouri and freeing all slaves held by Missouri secessionists. In a letter dated September 11 that was published in Union newspapers, Lincoln ordered Fremont to change his order to conform to the First Confiscation Act, afraid that linking abolition with the war would cause the slave-holding border states to rebel. When it became clear that Fremont would not revoke or amend the order, Lincoln removed him from command and revoked the order himself. Under political pressure, he later appointed Fremont to the newly formed Mountain Department in West Virginia."

What year did lincoln save the slaves??? ? 1 following 11 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Sept 22 1862. Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation declared that all the slaves in the rebel states were free. Many see this as a political ploy or phony since it did not free any slaves in Union states, but it was a real limitation on Lincoln's power as President. The constitution and supreme court decisions protected slavery in the United States. The President, even in war time, can not so blatantly violate the constitution. However, states in rebellion have theoretically given up their constitutional protection. As commander-in-chief, the President has the authority to do what he wants with enemy property. So, he can free their slaves."

R. S., at the request of the Colorado Commission on Higher Education (\"\"CCHE\"\"). The guidelines are prepared by the Office of the Attorney General as legal counsel to the state institutions of higher education, their respective governing boards, officers, employees and to the CCHE. The guidelines are intended to supplement the language of the tuition law and CCHE Policy Section VI, Part B (“the Policy”). The tuition law is reproduced as an appendix to these guidelines. A simplified citation system is utilized in the guidelines when reference is made to the statute, omitting the title and article numbers, e.g ., section 23-7-101 (2007), is cited as 101. There will be questions which are not easy to answer according to the terms of the statute and these guidelines. When such questions arise, the registering authorities of the covered institutions should consult with their in-house legal counsel or an attorney at the Office of the Attorney General for legal advice. Registering authorities can consult with an attorney from the Office of the Attorney General. Because the Office of the Attorney General is bound by statute to represent the institutions in any dispute over the interpretation or application of the tuition law with respect to particular individuals, it is not possible for the Attorney General's office to give tuition advice to individuals whose interests may be adverse to the interests of one of the institutions."

"text": "When one parent is paying child support, the support ends upon the child's emancipation, which is when the child can legally act as an adult. However, emancipation does not always occur when a child turns 18. State laws vary concerning emancipation. Furthermore, a divorce decree can order that a parent continue paying child support while a child is enrolled in college. For these reasons, it is essential that you carefully review your divorce decree and your state's child support guidelines prior to making any changes to your child support payments. Common Emancipation Factors States usually define emancipation as the time when a child is no longer dependent on his parents for financial support. In most states, emancipation does not occur, at minimum, until a child graduates high school. However, emancipation can also occur when a child gets married or joins the military, as these events are evidence that a child is prepared to care for himself. Divorce is never easy, but we can help. Learn More Emancipation and College In some states, such as Massachusetts, a child remains unemancipated while in college full time and as such, the paying parent must continue with child support payments."

( Contributed photo/ 401kcalculator.org)Leada Gore | [email protected] Welcome to Tax Day 2016. Thanks to a holiday quirk - it's Emancipation Day in Washington, D. C., - the 2016 tax deadline is today and not April 15 as it is in most years. The change means the Internal Revenue Service deadline for paying taxes is today, April 18. In a typical year the deadline is April 15, however, since Emancipation Day fell on a Saturday (April 16), D. C. municipal employees were given Friday (April 15) off, bumping back the IRS deadline by three days. Emancipation Day commemorates the signing of the Emancipation Act by President Abraham Lincoln. Residents in Maine and Massachusetts celebrate Patriots Day on April 18, so their tax day is moved back to April 19. Either way, taxpayers must either submit their tax information or file for an extension today in order to avoid possible penalties. If you do file an extension, you'll need to circle another date on your calendar."

Harold Holzer on Lincoln’s actions on that fateful day. Harold Holzer01.01.13 4:45 AM ETAPLike most Americans then and now, Abraham Lincoln began his New Year’s day 150 years ago by attending a party, in this case his own. But it was no ordinary party, and certainly no ordinary New Year’s. While four million African-American slaves and thousands of white abolitionists waited anxiously for word that he had signed the Emancipation Proclamation on this, its promised due date, Lincoln first hosted the annual reception for the diplomatic corps, military elite, and members of Congress. And when it was over, guards threw open the doors of the White House and admitted thousands more revelers—members of the general public eager to clutch the president’s hand and wish him a happy 1863 as well. The delay—if it was not more than that—understandably alarmed tense freedom advocates gathered in churches across the North, many engaged in ardent prayer since midnight. It caused many pessimists to wonder whether Lincoln would in fact renege on the promise he had made when he issued his preliminary emancipation on Sept. 22: that if Confederate states did not return to the Union by Jan. 1, he would declare their slaves “then, thenceforward, and forever free.” In the hundred days since, anti-administration newspapers here and abroad had condemned Lincoln for fomenting “servile insurrection,” abandoning his “constitutional moorings,” and threatening the American social order. Disappointed, the president himself had acknowledged that his announcement had sent the stock market spiraling into decline, sped desertion from the armed forces and inhibited enlistment. “"

"text": "Wisconsin is one of the more aggressive states when it comes to collecting child support. The legislature makes it difficult for a non-custodial parent to avoid paying support and to accrue arrears for an extended period of time. If it happens, however, the Wisconsin Bureau of Child Support works in conjunction with the Division of Workforce Development to take action. If you're owed child support and you're not receiving it, you can contact your county's child support agency or a private attorney, both of whom can enlist the help of the BCS and DWD long before your statute of limitations for enforcement runs out. Statute of Limitations Under Wisconsin law, you have 20 years to try to collect past due child support from your ex-spouse. The 20 years begins with the date your youngest child emancipates or reaches the age of majority, not the date of your decree. Therefore, if your youngest child was three at the time the court issued your child support order, you can attempt to enforce the order for about 35 years: from the age of three until majority, then an additional 20 years beyond that. Protect your loved ones. Start My Estate Plan Collection Measures Wisconsin does not want you to have to wait 20 years past your youngest child's emancipation to collect the support owed to you. As soon as your ex-spouse is a month or $500 behind – whichever amounts to more arrears – the BCS will list him with the state's support lien docket, and the DWD will place a lien against his property."

S. Postal Service commemorates the 150th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation, which President Abraham Lincoln signed on January 1, 1863. Lincoln's proclamation, issued nearly two years into the Civil War, declared that all slaves in the rebel states of the Confederacy “are, and henceforward shall be free.” In addition, the document authorized the recruitment of black soldiers into the Union army. Their courage in battle and contributions to the Union's ultimate victory greatly influenced the nation to adopt the 13th Amendment to the Constitution in 1865, outlawing slavery forever. “ In giving freedom to the slave, we assure freedom to the free,” Lincoln wrote in a message to Congress one month before signing the Emancipation Proclamation. A nation “dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal” at last began the journey toward true liberty and justice for all. Art director Antonio Alcalá worked with graphic designer Gail Anderson of New York City to produce the stamp. To evoke the look of broadsides from the Civil War era, they employed Hatch Show Print of Nashville, Tennessee, one of the oldest working letterpress print shops in America. The Emancipation Proclamation stamp is one of a civil rights set being issued in 2013. The Postal Service is issuing two other stamps in 2013 to commemorate significant anniversaries in the struggle for African-American civil rights."

Photo: Reuters President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation on September 22, 1862, but it took close to three more years before the full emancipation of America’s slaves was completed. This historic moment came on June 19, 1865, when General Gordon Granger arrived in Galveston, Texas, to issue General Order No. 3, officially freeing America’s final slaves. This date, known as Juneteenth, has since been celebrated as Black Independence Day by African Americans across the nation. In celebration of Juneteenth, we’ve gathered 12 facts about the history of the American holiday.1. Though President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation in 1862, demanding that the Confederate states return to the Union or their slaves would be permanently freed, the order was ignored. Even more undermining to the Proclamation was the fact that it did not affect slave-holding states that didn’t succeed from the Union, leaving a massive number of slaves still in bondage.2. Texas and Oklahoma are the only states that recognize Juneteenth as a legal holiday."

Which method of abolishing slavery was most beneficial for African-Americans? Radical Abolition of Slavery Definition: \"\"Radical\"\" abolitionism is the belief that all forms of slavery should be stopped immediately, with full emancipation granted to slaves. Gradual Emancipation Definition: \"\"Gradual Emancipation\"\" was the form of an anti-slavery movement that allowed for the step-by-step liberation of African-American slaves. Tactics of Radical Abolition/Garrisonians: The Rise of \"\"Radicalism\"\" Early Attempts in America: The first United States attempt to abolish slavery came in April of 1688 when Quakers of Germantown, Pennsylvania sent a document to the governing bodies of their Quaker Church, the “Society of Friends”. “ An Act for the Gradual Abolition of Slavery” was passed by the Pennsylvania legislature on March 1st, 1780. This was the first attempt by a Northern \"\"State\"\" to abolish slavery (Vermont was a Republic). The first American abolition society is generally acknowledged as “The Society for the Relief of Free Negroes Unlawfully Held in Bondage”, formed in 1775 in Philadelphia, primarily by Quakers. After suspending activity during the Revolutionary War, it was reorganized with Benjamin Franklin as its first president."

"text": "Lead Story1887First Groundhog Day Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite On this day in 1887, Groundhog Day, featuring a rodent meteorologist, is celebrated for the first time at Gobbler’s Knob in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania. According to tradition, if a groundhog comes out of its hole on this day and sees its shadow, it gets scared and runs back into its burrow, predicting six more weeks of winter weather; no shadow means an early spring. Groundhog Day has its roots in the ancient Christian tradition of Candlemas, when clergy would bless and distribute candles needed for winter. The candles represented how long and cold the winter would be. Germans expanded on this concept by selecting an animal–the hedgehog–as a means of predicting weather. Once they came to America, German settlers in Pennsylvania continued the tradition, although they switched from hedgehogs to groundhogs, which were plentiful in the Keystone State. Groundhogs, also called woodchucks and whose scientific name is Marmota monax, typically weigh 12 to 15 pounds and live six to eight years. They eat vegetables and fruits, whistle when they’re frightened or looking for a mate (they’re sometimes called whistle pigs) and can climb trees and swim. They go into hibernation in the late fall; during this time, their body temperatures drop significantly, their heartbeats slow from 80 to five beats per minute and they can lose 30 percent of their body fat. In February, male groundhogs emerge from their burrows to look for a mate (not to predict the weather) before going underground again."

"text": "\"Groundhog Day History European Roots (Adapted from \"\"Groundhog Day: 1886 to 1992\"\" by Bill Anderson)Groundhog Day, February 2nd, is a popular tradition in the United States. It is also a legend that traverses centuries, its origins clouded in the mists of time with ethnic cultures and animals awakening on specific dates. Myths such as this tie our present to the distant past when nature did, indeed, influence our lives. It is the day that the Groundhog comes out of his hole after a long winter sleep to look for his shadow. If he sees it, he regards it as an omen of six more weeks of bad weather and returns to his hole. If the day is cloudy and, hence, shadowless, he takes it as a sign of spring and stays above ground. The groundhog tradition stems from similar beliefs associated with Candlemas Day and the days of early Christians in Europe, and for centuries the custom was to have the clergy bless candles and distribute them to the people. Even then, it marked a milestone in the winter and the weather that day was important. According to an old English song: If Candlemas be fair and bright, Come, Winter, have another flight; If Candlemas brings clouds and rain, Go Winter, and come not again. According to an old Scotch couplet: If Candlemas Day is bright and clear, There'll be twa (two) winters in the year."

"text": "\" (Photo: Gene J. Puskar, AP)CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN COMMENT EMAIL MOREIt's that time again when meteorologists step aside for a furry rodent to make a weather forecast. Punxsutawney Phil, the world's most famous groundhog, will be coaxed out of his burrow on Gobbler's Knob early Monday to let an anxious nation know whether we'll have an early spring or six more weeks of miserable cold and snow. According to folklore, if it's cloudy when the groundhog emerges Feb. 2, the critter will leave his burrow, meaning winter will soon end. If it's a sunny day, Phil will see his shadow and, frightened, retreat back into his burrow, meaning winter will continue for six more weeks. The forecast for Monday morning in Punxsutawney, Pa., calls for cloudy skies and a chance of snow showers, but Phil is fickle, so who knows what he'll do? No matter the outcome, it's best not to bet heavily on Phil: His forecast is no better than flipping a coin. Based on an analysis of weather data over the past 27 years, \"\"there is no predictive skill for the groundhog,\"\" according to the National Climatic Data Center in Asheville, N. C. The center found that since 1988, the groundhog has been right 12 times and wrong 15 times in matching his prediction with the national average temperature for the remainder of February. Groundhog Day mishap shadows NYCPhil has been right the past couple of winters: Last year, the groundhog predicted six more weeks of winter when he saw his shadow, and both February and March temperatures were below average across the country. In 2013, Phil didn't see his shadow, and the month ended slightly warmer than average. Since 1887, the groundhog has seen his shadow 101 times for a longer winter and not seen it 17 times to predict an early spring. ("

"text": "email facebook pinterest twitter linkedin tumblrgoogle+ reddit pocket While the US and Canada are waiting for the groundhog to poke its cute little head out of its hole on the 2nd of February, the French are gorging themselves on crepes. Can you imagine- a whole day dedicated to eating the equivalent of French pancakes? it just doesn’t get any more cliché than that. But what is this day and why eat scrumptious crepes on this day?. Although crepes are eaten all year round in France, it’s tradition to eat crepes on the 2nd day of February, exactly 40 days after Christmas. To French speakers in France, this day is known as “ La Chandeleur” which DOES NOT translate to “Crepe day” at all. Chandeleur comes from the word chandelle which means candle. If you’re at all familiar with religious holidays, you probably know this day as Candlemas in English, which refers to the custom when clergymen would bless candles before lighting them and distributing them to people for the mass. The light of the candle is symbolic of Christ as “the light of the world” which explains why Chandeleur is also known as “Fête de la Lumière” which means a celebration of the light, not to be confused with Lyon’s “Fête des lumière” in December which means festival of lights. In case you have no idea what Candlemas (La Chandeleur ) is, it’s celebrated to commemorate 3 occasions."

Grete, Greta and Gretel also developed as diminutive forms of Margareta in Germany, names which eventually spread beyond the German borders. Margareta, like Margaret, both originated from the Hebrew “margaron” meaning “pearl” (as a diminutive form, Gretchen therefore means “little pearl”). For more information on the name Margaret, please see that name page. Generally considered isolated to Germany, Gretchen gained outside attention with the publication of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's tragic play, “Faust” (1808). In the play, Faust’s love interest is a German peasant girl named Margareta but whom Goethe mainly refers to as Gretchen throughout the story (see literary references below). Largely considered one of the great masterpieces of German literature, “Faust” actually influenced the German language – for instance, “Gretchenfrage” (literally, “Gretchen question”) is now a German term that generally refers to a penetrating question that gets to the heart of the matter (such as when Gretchen asks Faust if he’s religious). In any case, today, the name Gretchen is largely considered old-fashioned and out-dated in Germany (where, by the way, it’s pronounced GREHT-khen). In fact, we cannot find Gretchen on the naming charts of any country today. Popularity of the Name Gretchen Gretchen just recently dropped off America’s Top 1000 list of baby girl names – her last appearance was in 2009."

During early spring, groundhogs are most active during the warm parts of the day. However, during the warmer spring and summer months, the day is spent in their cool burrows and feeding occurs during the very early morning and at dusk. Groundhogs begin hibernation mid October and emerge in February. Their burrow system is located about 2-4 feet underground and may extend 15-25 feet horizontally. The main groundhog nest chamber is usually located at the end of the burrow. The main entrance is seen as a mound of fresh earth around the opening. Groundhogs are active by day, especially in early morning and late afternoon. In residential areas they may be found beneath homes, patios, under decks, garages and stored lumber."

Origins of Groundhog Day, Punxsutawney Phil, and Other Famous Groundhogs By Albrecht Powell Updated 12/13/17Share Pin Email•••German tradition holds that if the sun comes out on Candlemas, the precursor to Groundhog Day, the hedgehog (or badger) will see its shadow and six more weeks of winter will follow. When German settlers came to Pennsylvania they continued this tradition, using groundhogs instead of hedgehogs to predict the weather. The first official Groundhog Day was celebrated on February 2, 1886, in Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, with a proclamation in The Punxsutawney Spirit by the newspaper's editor, Clymer Freas: \"\"Today is groundhog day and up to the time of going to press the beast has not seen its shadow.\"\" The legendary first Groundhog Day trip to Gobbler's Knob was made the following year by a group of spirited groundhog hunters who dubbed themselves \"\"The Punxsutawney Groundhog Club.\"\" Clymer, a member of the club, used his editorial clout to proclaim that Phil, the Punxsutawney Groundhog, was the one and only official weather prognosticating groundhog. Phil's fame began to spread and newspapers from around the world began to report his predictions. Growing legions of fans started making the trek to Punxsutawney every February 2, and with the release of the 1993 movie Groundhog Day, starring Bill Murray, the crowds began to number in the tens of thousands. Phil's yearly Groundhog Day predictions are actually even entered into the Congressional Record!Where Does the Name Punxsutawney Come From? Punxsutawney was first settled by the Delaware Indians in 1723 and its name comes from the Indian name for the location \"\"ponksad-uteney\"\" which means the \"\"town of the sandflies.\"\""

Many may come to enjoy the Lunar New Year celebrations, some might have a romantic escape planned for Valentine's Day, and others, despite the often frigid days, are bringing their kids to explore the city because they are on school break. Although the weather makes it a little less comfortable for walking around, with proper planning and packing, you can still have a great time in New York City, despite the cold. Temperature and What to Pack February is a bit warmer than January, but not by much. It is one of the coldest months. It is also a little less likely to rain. The average high temperature is 32 degrees, and the average low is 29 degrees. Non-freezing days are possible, but people—especially kids—who are ill-prepared for wet, cold, snowy conditions will be miserable. The tall buildings can make the wind feel colder and stronger than normal, blocking most of the warmth and light of the sun, so be sure to dress for the weather. To keep your body warm, dress in layers."

Known as an \"\"edge\"\" species, groundhogs prefer transitional areas where forest or woodland meets a well-vegetated open field or meadow. Groundhogs spend most of their time underground in complex burrow systems, which they dig in dry, well-drained soil. Most of the time groundhogs dig their burrows in areas with nearby cover such as fencerows, hedgerows, beside structures, home foundations or trees. Groundhog Diet Groundhogs eat approximately 1/3 of their weight in vegetation each day. Although they are considered herbivores, they sometimes eat insects (less than 1% of the time)."

"text": "\"Holidays & Celebrations Holidays Mardi Gras Q: Where did Mardi Gras originate? A: Quick Answer Though it is now a Christian and Catholic holiday, the exact origins of the celebration of the Carnival season may date back to a pre-Christian era in Ancient Greece or Rome, when pagan seasonal celebrations at this time of year were commonplace. The celebration of the specific Mardi Gras holiday as a Christian holiday may date back to medieval Europe during the Roman Catholic era, when the pagan festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia were likely repurposed for a new religious purpose. The process of converting a pre-existing holiday for new religious ideology was likely easier than simply banning the pagan festivals outright. Continue Reading Keep Learning What other countries celebrate Mardi Gras? Where is the largest Mardi Gras celebration? What is Carnival? Credit: Daniel Grill Getty Images Full Answer As far as specific celebrations are concerned, the New Orleans Mardi Gras, which is one of the most famous Mardi Gras celebration in the world, originated with the influx of European Catholics into the area during the 18th century. However, these celebrations remained mostly private in nature until the 19th century, when the first recorded public procession in celebration of Mardi Gras took place in 1837. The city's first Mardi Gras parade to feature early versions of modern-style floats took place 20 years later in 1857."

Courir de Mardi Gras is Cajun French for \"\"Fat Tuesday Run\"\". The rural Mardi Gras celebration is based on early begging rituals, similar to those still celebrated by mummers, wassailers and celebrants of Halloween. [ 1] As Mardi Gras is the celebration of the final day before Lent, celebrants drink and eat heavily, and also dress in specialized costumes, ostensibly to protect their identities. Popular practices include wearing masks, capuchons, and costumes, overturning social conventions, dancing, drinking alcohol, begging, feasting, whipping, etc. Because of violent activities associated with the Ku Klux Klan, Louisiana has a state law prohibiting the wearing of hoods and masks in public. Mardi Gras is one of the few occasions when exceptions are allowed, as are Halloween celebrations and religious observances.

"text": "\"By Sharon Keating Updated 03/15/18Share Pin Email•••Mardi Gras in New Orleans is arguably America's best and largest party. The general theme is \"\"eat, drink, and be merry,\"\" and the locals take that very seriously, as this city-wide event is considered the last hurrah before the Lenten season. In the Catholic faith, fasting, abstaining from eating meat on Fridays, and ritual sacrificing is expected of parishioners during the 40 day period of Lent, which begins on Ash Wednesday each year. The Future Dates of Mardi Gras from 2019–2027Mardi Gras, which is the French term for \"\"Fat Tuesday\"\" falls on a different calendar date every year because it is always the Tuesday preceding Ash Wednesday. Since Ash Wednesday coincides with the date of Easter, which always falls on the first Sunday after the spring equinox and a full moon, the ever-changing moon cycles are the cause for the ever-changing dates. While planning a trip to Mardi Gras can seem intimidating, especially for first-time travelers, with some strategic planning you and your entire family can have one of the best vacations of your life in The Big Easy. The best advice is to plan early, and that starts with knowing the dates of Mardi Gras whether you're visiting next year or 10 years from now.

"text": "\"The history of a Mardi Gras celebration existed many years before Europeans came to the New World. Some time in the Second Century, during mid-February (usually February 15 according to the Julian calendar), Ancient Romans would observe what they called the Lupercalia, a circus-type festival which was, in many respects, quite similar to the present day Mardi Gras. This festival honored the Roman deity, Lupercus, a pastoral God associated with Faunus or the Satyr. Although Lupercus is derived from the Latin Lupus (meaning \"\"wolf\"\"), the original meaning of the word as it applies to Roman religion has become obscured over the passage of time. When Christianity arrived in Rome, the dignitaries of the early Church decided it would be more prudent to incorporate certain aspects of such rituals into the new faith rather than attempt to abolish them altogether. This granted a Christian interpretation to the ancient custom and the Carnival became a time of abandon and merriment which peceded the Lenten period (a symbolic Christian pentinence of 40 days commencing on Ash Wednesday and ending at Easter). During this time, there would be feasting which lasted several days and participants would indulge in voluntary madness by donning masks, clothing themselves in the likeness of spectres and generally giving themselves up to Bacchus and Venus. All aspects of pleasure were considered to be allowable during the Carnival celebration and today's modern festivites are thought by some to be more reminiscent of the Roman Saturnalia rather than Lupercalia, or be linked to even earlier Pagan festivals. From Rome, the celebration spread to other European countries. In medieval times, a similar-type festivity to that of the present day Mardi Gras was given by monarchs and lords prior to Lent in order to ceremoniously conscript new knights into service and hold feasts in their honor."

At certain festivities, these trinkets are rarely in sight. Instead, locals trade floats for horses, beads for bells, and rowdy streets for a day of revelry in rural areas. Still, different cultures within the parish celebrate Mardi Gras in their own unique way, establishing their own traditions. In the Opelousas, Grand Coteau, and Sunset a range of events take place including parades and zydeco dances. No blues here, just the upbeat sounds of accordions and fiddles coming from local zydeco musicians. In fact, one of the biggest players in the zydeco genre, Lil’ Nate, host the Annual L'Argent Trailride, Chicken Run & Parade. Trail rides are an important part of the Creole culture in St. Landry Parish, a place with a thriving equine industry. The modern cowboy, or girl, rides on horseback followed by a procession of eager participants in trailers, with food and music along the way.

A documentary entitled The Re-Enactors of San Jacinto, directed by Emmy-winner Allen Morris, was released in 2010 and shown on Houston PBS. The documentary details the annual San Jacinto Day celebration and shows the reenactment of the 18 minute battle.

"text": "\" [ Mardi Gras Index] [ Coloring Pages]What is Mardi Gras? Mardi Gras is French for \"\"Fat Tuesday\"\". The name comes from the ancient custom of parading a fat ox through Paris on this day. The ox was to remind the people that they were not allowed to eat meat during Lent. Lent runs from Ash Wednesday thru Easter Sunday. Mardi Gras moves. It can be anywhere between February 3rd and March 9th. The date depends on when Easter falls. French people who came to the United States brought the custom of Mardi Gras with them. The most famous festival in the US (and perhaps the world) is at New Orleans in Louisiana *wistful sigh*-- I've always wanted to go, not necessarily for Mardi Gras, but just to see it."

The following is a section summary of the USA PATRIOT Act, Title II. The USA PATRIOT Act was passed by the United States Congress in 2001 as a response to the September 11, 2001 attacks. Title II: Enhanced Surveillance Procedures gave increased powers of surveillance to various government agencies and bodies.

On 22 December 2005, the sunset clause expiration date was extended to 3 February 2006. Title II contains many of the most contentious provisions of the act.

We assume America is always going to be here; fortunately, that assumption is true, but only because of countless extraordinary Americans, who took their responsibility seriously, risking their lives to preserve this special place we call home. Our precious foundations, written on a few small pieces of paper: the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights have been defended by that distinguished long blue line of Americans, starting at Lexington and Concord, through Bunker Hill, Valley Forge, Tripoli, the Alamo and Gettysburg; changing otherwise common places into hallowed ground. Their line continued to Belleau Wood, the Meuse Argonne and Chateau Thierry. With relentless fury, they proved to be a unique assembly of the finest men this world could produce. On that infamous day, December 7th, 1941, the line was tested again. In those dark moments when the world was stunned, and our Country was facing insurmountable odds, this unparalleled group of Americans held firm and pressed forward to ensure our liberty."

By Tim Marcin @Tim Marcin On 01/30/15 AT 5:21 PMSeattle Seahawks fans will need to spend a lot of cash to attend this year's Super Bowl. Photo: Reuters Super Bowl tickets for the matchup between Seattle Seahawks and New England Patriots at University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Arizona, might be the most expensive on record. The cheapest ticket available Friday on Stub Hub was a whopping $8,745.25, as of 2:30 p.m. ET. Tiq IQ listed the average ticket price as $10,556, compared with $3,376 in 2014, a 212-percent increase. The reason for the steep hike in prices was a quick drop in ticket availability. “A lot of this is sort of by demand,” said Rob Sine, vice president of ticket sales for Pac-12.“The general public can’t buy tickets to this on their own. ”Secondary marketplaces, like Stub Hub or Tiq IQ, were flooded with brokers “shorting” tickets when they first went on sale, according to ESPN’s Darren Rovell. Shorting is when a broker promises tickets to a buyer at an early date when prices are high, only to purchase the tickets later, for a cheaper price. The broker then delivers the ticket for the original, more expensive price."

The stirrings of these battles stemmed from a need for independence, and also from an event in 1773 known as the Boston Tea Party where colonists revolted against the high tax on tea levied by the British Government. Colonists, many apparently in Mohawk disguise, crept aboard three trade ships in Boston Harbor and threw 342 tea chests into the water. It was believed that a man named Samuel Adams had instigated this crime. By 1775, tensions were high concerning independence from British rule, and the tea incident – a social and economic crime – and the British red coats approached Lexington in an attempt to arrest Adams and a man named John Hancock who was also working towards ending British rule in the colonies. Paul Revere, a hero in the revolution, alerted the colonists and this helped Adams and Hancock avoid capture. The British attacked Lexington first and forced the colonist militia back then marched to Concord searching for supply posts. The patriots had been warned well in advance and had moved their supplies to safe locations."

"text": "\"United States: The Impact Of The Patriot Act On Employers Last Updated: October 15 2003 Article by Vance O. Knapp Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons LLPIntroduction As a result of September 11, 2001, Congress enacted sweeping legislation to expand the government's authority to conduct clandestine surveillance of suspected terrorist activity. This legislation is titled the \"\"Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001,\"\" commonly referred to as the Patriot Act. The Patriot Act provides for increased surveillance powers for both domestic law enforcement and international intelligence agencies, strengthens criminal laws against terrorism, enhances intelligence, and combats money laundering. Implications of the Patriot Act for Employers While the Patriot Act is intended to target and prevent terrorism, its enforcement presents unique issues for employers. For example, Title II of the Patriot Act enhances the government's ability to conduct surveillance in the workplace, and Title III targets money laundering by financial institutions. Title II of the Patriot Act coordinates intelligence gathering and the collection of evidence for criminal proceedings, and expands the government's ability to utilize wiretaps and computer surveillance. It also grants the government greater access to medical, financial, business, and educational records and authorizes secret searches of homes and offices. To comply with these new requirements, many employers must implement new procedures while simultaneously balancing the privacy interests of their employees and customers with the government's requests for information. An employer that is classified as a financial institution must report suspicious financial transactions. The employer must keep records of foreign national employees in strict compliance with federal immigration statutes and regulations, but of equal importance, must ensure that its workplace remains free from unlawful discrimination based upon race, religion, or national origin."

( AP Photo/Winslow Townson) (Winslow Townson)Comment By Kevin Duffy FOXBOROUGH -- In early 2000, Bill Belichick made three hires to round out his first staff with the Patriots, filling entry-level coaching assistant jobs that offered little creative freedom, even less financial freedom, and virtually zero life freedom. \"\" The 20/20 deal,\"\" said Patriots tight ends coach Brian Daboll. \"\" Twenty hours a day for 20 grand a year. And it wasn't exactly 20 yet. \"\" Recommended by Nick Saban, his boss at Michigan State, Daboll interviewed at the old Foxboro Stadium for several hours. He spent the morning in solitude, accompanied only by a pen, notepad, and the damn grainy game film that required him to squint or rewind to identify players' numbers. Mark Jackson's tryout lasted several days. The staff's second coaching assistant and a holdover from the Pete Carroll era, Jackson was given a handful of NFL games to analyze in painstaking detail."

"text": "\"Politics & Government Military What is read during an army promotion? Follow 8 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Since I got an E-mail from a user who said I was wrong, I will clarify my answer: It depends if the person being promoted is active at the time of promotion or not. If you are active and deployed you will most likely just get a letter with notification and new duties. The official orders that are read for promotion is typically along the lines of: \"\"Attention to orders: Headquarters, Department of the Army, The president of the United States has reposed special trust and confidence in the patriotism, valor, fidelity and abilities of [NAME]. In view of these qualities and his/her demonstrated potential for increased responsibility, [NAME] is promoted to [NEW RANK] with a date of rank of [DATE].\"\" For a boot camp graduaation ceremony, they typically sing the national anthem first, say opening remarks, promotion from civilian to rank, followed by the oath or creed for that branch of military, then closing remarks, they might sing the army fight song, and then introduction to the audience.

It was the only tour with all six Jackson brothers (even though Jackie was injured for most of the tour). The group performed 55 concerts to an audience of approximately 2 million. Most came to see Michael, whose album Thriller was dominating the popular music world at the time. Many consider it to be his Thriller tour, with most of the songs on the set list coming off of his Off the Wall album and from the Thriller album. The tour reportedly grossed approximately $75 million (US$176,665,599 in 2017 dollars [1]) and set a new record for the highest grossing tour. It showcased Michael's single decorated glove, black sequined jacket and moonwalk. Despite its focus on Michael, it was named after the newly released Jacksons' album Victory although none of the album's songs were performed. Marlon confirmed [ citation needed] this was because Michael refused to rehearse or perform them; in fact, he had only reluctantly joined his brothers, who needed the income while he himself did not [ citation needed]. On the tour, tensions between Michael and his brothers increased to the point that he announced at the final show that it would be the last time they would perform together, ending plans for a European and Australian leg of the tour in the spring and summer of 1985."

"text": "Thanksgiving Day, annual national holiday in the United States and Canada celebrating the harvest and other blessings of the past year. Americans generally believe that their Thanksgiving is modeled on a 1621 harvest feast shared by the English colonists ( Pilgrims) of Plymouth and the Wampanoag people. The American holiday is particularly rich in legend and symbolism, and the traditional fare of the Thanksgiving meal typically includes turkey, bread stuffing, potatoes, cranberries, and pumpkin pie. With respect to vehicular travel, the holiday is often the busiest of the year, as family members gather with one another. Spectators are showered with confetti during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York City. Joseph Sohm—Chromo Sohm Inc./Corbis Plymouth’s Thanksgiving began with a few colonists going out “fowling,” possibly for turkeys but more probably for the easier prey of geese and ducks, since they “in one day killed as much as…served the company almost a week.” Next, 90 or so Wampanoag made a surprise appearance at the settlement’s gate, doubtlessly unnerving the 50 or so colonists. Nevertheless, over the next few days the two groups socialized without incident. The Wampanoag contributed venison to the feast, which included the fowl and probably fish, eels, shellfish, stews, vegetables, and beer. Since Plymouth had few buildings and manufactured goods, most people ate outside while sitting on the ground or on barrels with plates on their laps."

Photo: Matthew B. Brady, Library of Congress President Barack Obama pardoned his fourth turkey today, in what many believe is a Thanksgiving tradition dating back to 1947, when President Harry Truman, standing outside the White House, was presented with a holiday bird by the National Turkey Federation. But there’s no evidence that Truman did anything different from his successor, President Dwight Eisenhower, who, with his family, consumed all eight birds the NTF presented them. In 1963, President John F. Kennedy became the first president to see the word “pardon” used with reference to a Thanksgiving turkey, but he did not officially spare a bird in a pre-Thanksgiving ceremony in the Rose Garden. Kennedy simply announced that he would not eat the bird, and newspapers reported that the president had “pardoned” the gobbler given to him by the California Turkey Advisory Board. Just days before that year’s Thanksgiving, he was assassinated in Dallas. Ronald Reagan was the first president to use the word “pardon” in connection with a Thanksgiving turkey, in 1987, in response to media queries about whether he might pardon Lt. Col. Oliver North or any of the other figures involved in the Iran-Contra scandal. Reagan joked that if that year’s turkey had not already been destined for a petting farm, “I would have pardoned him."

Sorry for the shock. Now we can —if that's alright with you, of course — break down the differences between our two holidays. For starters, Canadian Thanksgiving is the second Monday of October, the same date as your Columbus Day. Your Thanksgiving, as you surely know, is on the fourth Thursday of November. That's dangerously close to Christmas, which we also have. Even though turkey is the most common meal on Canadian Thanskgiving, it isn't mandatory grub. Plenty of families have ham, dim sum, chicken or, you know, whatever they feel like. We're not saying our Thanksgiving is better.

Autumn marks the transition from summer to winter, in September ( Northern Hemisphere) or March ( Southern Hemisphere ), when the duration of daylight becomes noticeably shorter and the temperature cools down considerably. One of its main features is the shedding of leaves from deciduous trees. Some cultures regard the autumnal equinox as \"\"mid-autumn\"\", while others with a longer temperature lag treat it as the start of autumn. [ 2] Meteorologists (and most of the temperate countries in the southern hemisphere) [3] use a definition based on Gregorian calendar months, with autumn being September, October, and November in the northern hemisphere, [4] and March, April, and May in the southern hemisphere. In North America, autumn is usually considered to start with the September equinox (21 to 24 September) [5] and end with the winter solstice (21 or 22 December). [ 6] Popular culture in the USA associates Labor Day, the first Monday in September, as the end of summer and the start of autumn; certain summer traditions, such as wearing white, are discouraged after that date.

On January 31, 1957, the Canadian Parliament proclaimed: A Day of General Thanksgiving to Almighty God for the bountiful harvest with which Canada has been blessed – to be observed on the 2nd Monday in October. English explorer Martin Frobisher hosted the first Canadian Thanksgiving. It was held in what is now Newfoundland during his expedition's attempts to find the Northwest Passage to the Orient in 1578 and marked their safe arrival to the New World. So it was not hosted to celebrate a bountiful harvest. With time, French, Scottish and German immigrants to Canada added some of their traditions to the harvest festival."

[ 5] This feast lasted three days, and—as accounted by attendee Edward Winslow [6] —it was attended by 90 Native Americans and 53 Pilgrims. [ 7] The New England colonists were accustomed to regularly celebrating \"\"thanksgivings\"\"— days of prayer thanking God for blessings such as military victory or the end of a drought.

Pumpkins at the French Market, New Orleans A pumpkin is a cultivar of a squash plant, most commonly of Cucurbita pepo, that is round, with smooth, slightly ribbed skin, and deep yellow to orange coloration. The thick shell contains the seeds and pulp. Some exceptionally large cultivars of squash with similar appearance have also been derived from Cucurbita maxima.

"text": "\"Articles Car Home Motorcycle Life Commercial Travel #Ask Anne Marie Canadian Drivers and US Traffic Tickets: How Does A US Ticket Affect You? November 5, 2012Cross-border traffic between the U. S. and Canada is very common, and many Canadians visiting the U. S. choose to drive over the border rather than fly, especially if visiting a border state. If you’re heading over the border to celebrate the Thanksgiving holiday with family or friends, there are a few important things to know. Traffic laws in the States are relatively similar to those in Canada, and Canadian drivers licenses as well as Canadian car insurance are valid in the U. S., so you can cross the border without needing extra coverage. But what happens if you get a ticket? There was a time when getting a traffic ticket in the United States would not affect the driver’s record in Canada. In fact, there was nothing to stop a driver from walking away from the ticket without paying the fine or bothering to contest it. Today, what will happen depends on where the ticket was received and the agreement that state has with your home province. Reciprocal Agreements Between States and Provinces Some states and provinces have reciprocal agreements through which information is exchanged regarding traffic tickets. If your home province and the state you received the ticket in have such an agreement, the ticket will be reported to your province’s driver licensing agency and you may see demerit points on your license as a result."

He is not here; for he has risen, as he said ( Matthew 28:5-6b, RSV). All four biblical gospels provide accounts of the resurrection of Jesus, which makes perfect sense, because the bodily resurrection is the cornerstone of the Christian faith. Saint Paul makes this clear when he reminds us that our faith is pointless without Christ's resurrection from the dead ( 1 Corinthians 15:14). Easter (also called \"\"Pascha\"\" or some variant by most non-English speakers) celebrates the resurrection of Jesus from the dead. It is the greatest and oldest feast of the Christian Church."

Credit: Starry Night Software The vernal equinox, which occurs at 7:02 a.m. EDT today (March 20), is probably the most important astronomical event of the year. Although popularly described as \"\" the first day of spring \"\" in the Northern Hemisphere, the annual event is actually much more important than that. More than any other event, it marks the beginning of the astronomical year. For something so important in astronomy, it’s surprising that it is something that you cannot observe in any way in the night sky. That’s because it involves the sun, which floods the sky with light and makes it impossible to see what is actually happening. Modern planetarium software enables us to dim the sun, so that we can see what it is doing in the context of the planets around it and the stars behind it. [ 6 Signs that Spring Has Sprung]In the graphic accompanying this story, the celestial equator (located directly above the Earth’s equator) is marked by a red line. Crossing it at an angle is a green line which marks the ecliptic, the path which the sun follows in front of the background stars. This is tilted at an angle because the Earth’s axis of rotation is at an angle, 23.5 degrees."

The word solstice comes from Latin sol “sun” and sistere “to stand still.” In the Northern Hemisphere, as summer advances to winter, the points on the horizon where the Sun rises and sets advance southward each day; the high point in the Sun’s daily path across the sky, which occurs at local noon, also moves southward each day. At the winter solstice, the Sun’s path has reached its southernmost position."

Joshua led the children of Israel into the promised land of Canaan after the Lord divided the waters of the Jordan River for them to cross on dry ground. This miraculous event was similar to the parting of the Red Sea by Moses, and surely was a convincing sign to all that he was now God's new chosen leader. The date of that event is precisely given in scripture using their calendar at that time: it was the 10th day of the first month (later called Nisan), forty years after the Exodus from Egypt (Joshua 4:19; 5:6)."

"text": "\"\"\"Black Panther\"\" and \"\"Ready Player One\"\" are two long-awaited summer blockbusters . For more than 40 years, Steven Spielberg's movies have followed a simple, binary release strategy. Without exception, his films have either opened in the summer — a moviegoing season he all but invented with the 1975 smash \"\"Jaws\"\" — or toward the end of the year as awards buzz is heating up. The formula is so predictable, you can almost set a watch by it. Yet when executives at Warner Bros. sat down with the director to discuss the release plan for his latest film, the big-budget sci-fi-action epic \"\"Ready Player One,\"\" they had something different in mind. Set in a near-future dystopia in which people live much of their lives in a virtual-reality realm called the OASIS, Spielberg's adaptation of Ernest Cline's bestselling novel has all the bells and whistles of a big, fun summer movie. But the studio wanted to open it in March — a month that has not seen the release of a Spielberg movie since his very first feature, \"\"The Sugarland Express,\"\" hit theaters on March 31, 1974. Spielberg went for the idea without hesitation. \"\" He was absolutely supportive from day one,\"\" says Jeff Goldstein, president of domestic distribution at Warner Bros. \"\"He totally bought our approach and our passionate feeling that this was where we have to go. \"\"' Black Panther,' 'Annihilation' and 'Isle of Dogs' highlight films due this Winter and Spring »Until fairly recently, such a move would have been almost unthinkable."

"text": "Home »Produce Arkansas Vegetable Planting Guide By Jasey Kelly Vegetable gardening in Arkansas can be a year-round activity with a variety of summer and fall crops. However, the state's varying climates and regions have different planting dates, meaning homeowners from region to region may have different planting calendars. Several factors come into play when planning your Arkansas garden, including frost dates, cultivars and how long each cultivar takes to reach maturity. Frost Zones Arkansas has five distinctive frost zones based on the climatic variances throughout the state. Most of the state falls in two large zones while the three other zones cover smaller sections throughout. These regions have different average first and last frost dates, setting the basis on which your planting calendar is created. The average last spring freeze ranges from the end of March through the end of April, while the average first fall freeze ranges from the end of October through the middle of November. Frost and freeze dates are important because many vegetable crops are considered tender, meaning they are susceptible to even light frosts. Tender vegetables must go in the ground after the last chance of a spring frost and must be harvested before the first freeze of autumn. Other crops are considered semi-hardy or hardy; semi-hardy crops can handle moderate frosts and freezes, while hardy crops tolerate harder frosts."

It determines the dates for Jewish holidays and the appropriate public reading of Torah portions, yahrzeits (dates to commemorate the death of a relative), and daily Psalm readings, among many ceremonial uses. In Israel, it is used for religious purposes, provides a time frame for agriculture and is an official calendar for civil purposes, although the latter usage has been steadily declining in favor of the Gregorian calendar. The present Hebrew calendar is the product of evolution, including a Babylonian influence. Until the Tannaitic period (approximately 10–220 CE), the calendar employed a new crescent moon, with an additional month normally added every two or three years to correct for the difference between twelve lunar months and the solar year. The year in which it was added was based on observation of natural agriculture-related events in Israel. [ 1] Through the Amoraic period (200–500 CE) and into the Geonic period, this system was gradually displaced by the mathematical rules used today."

The moon was full on Wednesday (March 23). It was the first one of spring, so it was called the Paschal Moon. This year, if you have not already noticed, Easter is going to arrive rather early: Sunday, March 27. The date of Easter has a curious link to the moon's phases. In fact, Easter will slip into April for the next eight years. Not until the year 2024 will Easter once again occur in March. At that time, the date will still not occur as early as it does this year (in 2024, Easter will arrive on March 31).

These festivals mark the three times in the yearly liturgical cycle when all Jews are required to go up to Jerusalem to pray and sacrifice. Today, Jews mark these times with extended worship and prayer, study, distinctive prayer melodies, and festive meals. The Jewish High Holidays run from the ten days from Rosh Ha Shanah to Yom Kippur and focus on individual repentance (teshuvah). The date of Jewish holidays does not change from year to year. However, since the Jewish year is not the same length as the solar year on the Gregorian calendar, the date will appear to \"\"shift\"\" when viewed from the perspective of the Gregorian calendar. Four Jewish New Years You might be surprised to discover that by the time the Mishnah was compiled (200 AD), the Jewish sages had identified four separate new-year dates for every lunar-solar year (the modern Jewish calendar was ratified by Hillel the Elder in the 3rd century AD): Nisan 1 (i.e., Rosh Chodashim) marks the start of the month of the Exodus from Egypt and the beginning of Jewish national history. As such, it represents the start of the Biblical year for counting the festivals ( Exod. 12:2 )."

"text": "\"The Date of Pascha Editor’s Note: This article was first written in 1994 and then appeared in the Word Magazine in 2000. It should be noted that the article objectively examines the origin, history and methods for dating Pascha. In stating facts about methodology, it is not the author’s intent to propose a revision to the current dating methods. In fact, the author closes his article with a reaffirmation of the current Orthodox Unity in celebrating our most important Holy Day. The last paragraph clearly echoes the sentiment of the First Ecumenical Council that the dating of Pashca should be done, \"\"With one accord and in the same manner\"\". Question I’ve heard that the reason the Orthodox usually celebrate the Resurrection later than Protestants and Roman Catholics is because we wait until after the Jewish Passover. This year the Jews observed Passover on March 27. Western Christians celebrated Pascha † after that, on April 3, so why did we wait until May 1? In brief Our observance of the Resurrection is related to the “Passover of the Jews” † in a historical and theological way, but our calculation does not depend on when the modern-day Jews celebrate. The reason why Orthodox and Western Christians celebrate at different times is because we still go by the old Julian calendar in calculating the date of Pascha, even though we go by the new calendar for all the fixed feasts (like Christmas and so on)."

"text": "Summer sausage is a meat product that is commonly made from pork, beef or a mixture of the two meats that are ground and mixed with sugars, herbs and spices. This type of sausage can also be made from poultry, such as chicken and darker meats including deer and venison. It is classed as a semi-dry meat product, and you can store it with or without refrigeration, because the nitrates within the sugars kill the majority of dangerous bacteria while the sausage is fermenting. If you are storing store-bought sausage, be sure to read the label for storage instructions and an expiration date, because some might have special guidelines that you should follow. This is a semi-dry sausage, meaning that it usually is fully cooked, and smoking is done as an optional extra. The fermentation process takes place overnight at about 90° Fahrenheit (32.2° Celsius), and the sausage is edible the next day. Each sausage is stuffed into a fibrous or beef middle casing for the fermentation and storing of the product. Unlike dry sausage, such as salami, summer sausage can be stuffed into fibrous casings for cooking and storing because there is less shrinkage. A dried summer sausage can be stored for months without refrigeration, which is why it was once popular among agricultural workers. The sausage was fermented during the winter and hung for storage until the summer when it was eaten as a meal during agricultural field work."

"text": "Rapid warming of Lake Superior February 2007Lake Superior is Changing. Fast. Lakes like Superior appear to be responding more quickly to climate change than we previously suspected. Our current hypothesis as to why this is occurring has to do with the simultaneous decline in the amount of ice found on these lakes. It's a pretty cool story. I'll also note that many, if not most, of these trend observations have been made before (i.e. increase in temperature, decrease in ice); all we've done is snap them together into a big picture. This research has recently been accepted for publication at Geophyiscal Research Letters, and was performed by myself and my colleague Steve Colman. The observation that started this was based on a very long-running measurement of data near the St. Mary's Falls hydroelectric power plant in Sault Ste Marie, in the St. Mary's river, which drains Lake Superior into the rest of the Great Lakes. At this location, a daily temperature measurement has been made since 1906! It's one of the longest directly measured water temperature records anywhere in the world."

T he summer solstice is the longest day of the year - the day in which we can enjoy approximately 17 hours of daylight. It might seem like good news, but for those of us in the northern hemisphere this is the time when the sun's path stops moving northward in the sky and the days begin to slowly shorten. When is it? I n the northern hemisphere, summer solstice takes place between June 20 and 22. This year it's today, Monday, June 20. The sun rose at 4.45am and sunset will happen at 10.34pm. The winter solstice (the shortest day of the year) falls between December 20 and 22 in the UK. This year it's on Wednesday, December 21."

Seasons result from Earth's orbit around the Sun and Earth 's axial tilt relative to the ecliptic plane. [ 2] [3] In temperate and polar regions, the seasons are marked by changes in the intensity of sunlight that reaches the Earth's surface, variations of which may cause animals to undergo hibernation or to migrate, and plants to be dormant. Red and green trees in autumn (fall)During May, June, and July, the Northern Hemisphere is exposed to more direct sunlight because the hemisphere faces the Sun. The same is true of the Southern Hemisphere in November, December, and January. It is Earth's axial tilt that causes the Sun to be higher in the sky during the summer months, which increases the solar flux. However, due to seasonal lag, June, July, and August are the warmest months in the Northern Hemisphere while December, January, and February are the warmest months in the Southern Hemisphere. In temperate and subpolar regions, four calendar -based seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn or fall, and winter. Ecologists often use a six-season model for temperate climate regions: prevernal, vernal, estival, serotinal, autumnal, and hibernal."

"text": "The Seasonality of Crude Oil & Gasoline By Camaren Hanover This year, a number of events are likely to occur along with the normal changes in the weather. January gasoline is typically the lowest in any year and, despite the common mythology, gasoline consumption does not normally fall steeply after Labor Day and then recover miraculously after Memorial Day. We do see an element of driving disappear after Labor Day, as drivers in the 16 to 25 year-old age bracket tend to drive less, or at least more predictably. Family vacations are also over by that point, as a general rule. But, there are pockets of demand during foliage sighting season and Thanksgiving Weekend is always the best four-day driving period in any year in which July 4th does not fall on a Tuesday or Thursday. There is usually good driving through the month of December into New Year’s Eve, but it traditionally falls off a cliff right after the champagne glasses touch to ring in a new year. People park their cars and drive to work and school and to appointments. But it is not until March or April that more discretionary driving normally returns. Refineries know this and they typically plan maintenance turnarounds from January through April or early May. During this period, there is a definite tendency for gasoline inventories to be drawn down; even though demand starts the year at its lowest levels, the maintenance usually goes on long after demand has started to mount a comeback. Market Reaction The market reaction is not what most people might believe."

"text": "Middle Eastern Culture Drinks & Cocktails Middle Eastern Arak By Saad Fayed Updated 04/06/17Share Pin Email Hassan Merheb /Eye Em/Getty Images Arak is a distilled alcoholic drink favored in the Middle East. Commonly used in social settings, the drink is famous for its potency, and the milky-white color it turns when water is added to it. Arak has a high alcohol content, so water and ice are almost always added, producing the drink nicknamed “the milk of lions,” in the Middle East. What Does Arak Taste Like? Arak is typically made from grapes, though dates, sugar, plums, figs, and molasses can be used depending on the region where it is made. Though Arak in its pure form is colorless, the clear liquid is aniseed-flavored. Aniseed is added to the distilled alcohol during the second of three distillation processes. The ratio of aniseed to alcohol can vary which results in different qualities of arak, but the strength of the drink usually falls between 30%-60%. Where to Buy Arak? Arak can be purchased in the U. S. in many Middle Eastern markets."

MLS initially adopted a traditional all-star game format used by other North American sports leagues where the Eastern Conference squared off against the Western Conference. This eventually evolved into the current system where the league annually invites a club from abroad to play against a league all-star team. The MLS All-Stars hold an 8–4 record in the competition marking the season's midpoint. Players are awarded rosters spots through a combination of fan voting and selections by the appointed manager and league commissioner. In case of a tie after full-time, the game does not use a 30-minute extra time period; instead it goes straight to a penalty shoot-out.

I don't know if fluffiness=absorbency or not, but I want to test these out and I thought I'd just fill up a measuring cup with water and pour it in and see what happens So, any nurses out there who know how much water I should try to pour in?

"text": "\"The 10 Worst Signings in MLS History BY Stefan Bondy NEW YORK DAILY NEWS Updated: Sunday, May 15, 2016, 12:07 AMfacebook Tweet email Frank Lampard has been a huge disappointment since signing with NYCFC. ( DARRYL DYCK/AP)The perception that MLS is a retirement league for aging stars is unfair, but the people on this list have fueled that fire spanning decades. It is relevant today to count down these disappointments because there’s a new person at the top. You can catch him on billboards and advertisements around town, but rarely on the field for New York City Football Club. Here are the worst signings in MLS history, starting with (Not-So-Super) Frank:1. FRANK LAMPARD, NYCFCYou kind of want to feel bad for Frank Lampard because injuries have played a major role in derailing his ongoing train-wreck of a career in MLS, but when judging the totality of the last two years, it’s hard to feel any sympathy. The warning signs were there on his first day in town when he had to apologize for an incident 13 years prior — when he drunkenly mocked Americans just hours after the 9/11 attacks. He holds the dubious distinction of being the first to hold a press conference to announce he signed with MLS, only to have signed with somebody else and subsequently play in Europe for half of NYCFC’s inaugural season. Lampard then exhausted what he had left of his career in Manchester City, returning to New York unable to play because of injuries. In two seasons, he has totaled 10 games and 733 minutes."

[ b] Known for his competitiveness, leadership, and striking profile, Tittle was the centerpiece of several prolific offenses throughout his seventeen-year professional career from 1948 to 1964. Tittle played college football for Louisiana State University, where he was a two-time All- Southeastern Conference (SEC) quarterback for the LSU Tigers football team. As a junior, he was named the most valuable player (MVP) of the infamous 1947 Cotton Bowl Classic —also known as the \"\"Ice Bowl\"\"—a scoreless tie between the Tigers and Arkansas Razorbacks in a snowstorm. After college, he was drafted in the 1947 NFL Draft by the Detroit Lions, but he instead chose to play in the AAFC for the Colts. With the Colts, Tittle was named the AAFC Rookie of the Year in 1948 after leading the team to the AAFC playoffs. After back-to-back one-win seasons, the Colts franchise folded, which allowed Tittle to be drafted in the 1951 NFL Draft by the 49ers."

"text": "\"Aaron Ellis, X's and O's Answered Oct 29, 2012 · Author has 1.2k answers and 13.8m answer views It's a shame how underrepresented kickers are in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. In the many decades of the NFL's existence, Jan Stenerud, George Blanda and Lou Groza are the only ones in the Hall of Fame. I think that will change over the next ten years as many of the top recent kickers - who are among the highest scorers in NFL history - will retire after long careers. But I could also see some unfortunate snubs in the future since kickers just don't get much respect. As far as players who are eligible at the moment, there are two players I would like to see get inducted. Punter: Ray Guy - I can't think of a more deserving punter in the game. Seven Pro Bowl selections. Three Super Bowl championships with the Raiders.42.4-yard average for his career, in which he had over 1,000 punts. Pinned opponents inside the 20-yard line on over 20% of his punts. Beyond the statistics, Ray Guy was crucial player in the game and for his team."

In a little less than one month from now, the NFL will be enshrining the Hall of Fame Class of 2012, which includes Curtis Martin, Dermontti Dawson, Cortez Kennedy, Jack Butler, Willie Roaf and Chris Doleman. For my filtering processes, we are going to establish a few parameters. First of all, every one of our 90 selections played at least nine years in the league. Why nine years? That kind of longevity in the league speaks to their ability to endure the physical punishment of the NFL and play through pain. There are some exceptional players that didn't last that long, and we have reserved the right to place them on our honorable mention page. They also had to appear in at least four Pro Bowl games, as another filter. The original assignment called for me to identify the best 50 players not in the Pro Football Hall of Fame."

Management often uses the games to evaluate newly signed players. Veteran players will generally play only for about a quarter of each game (or less) in order to avoid injury; the third preseason game (or fourth for the participants in the Hall of Fame game) is generally the exception, since starters play well into the third quarter and both teams game plan for the game like the regular season.

The Bears compete in the National Football League (NFL) as a member club of the league's National Football Conference (NFC) North division. The Bears have won nine NFL Championships, including one Super Bowl, and hold the NFL record for the most enshrinees in the Pro Football Hall of Fame and the most retired jersey numbers. The Bears have also recorded more victories than any other NFL franchise. [ 5] [6] [7]The franchise was founded in Decatur, Illinois, in 1919, [8] and moved to Chicago in 1921. It is one of only two remaining franchises from the NFL's founding in 1920, along with the Arizona Cardinals, which was originally also in Chicago. The team played home games at Wrigley Field on Chicago's North Side through the 1970 season; they now play at Soldier Field on the Near South Side, next to Lake Michigan. The Bears have a long-standing rivalry with the Green Bay Packers. [ 9]The team headquarters, Halas Hall, is in the Chicago suburb of Lake Forest, Illinois. The Bears practice at adjoining facilities there during the season."

( July 2016)The National Football League preseason is the period each year during which NFL teams play several not-for-the-record exhibition games before the actual \"\"championship\"\" or \"\"regular\"\" season starts. Beginning with the featured Pro Football Hall of Fame game in early August, five weekends of exhibition games are currently played in the NFL. The start of the preseason is intrinsically tied to the last week of training camp.

Management often uses the games to evaluate newly signed players. Veteran players will generally play only for about a quarter of each game (or less) in order to avoid injury; the third preseason game (or fourth for the participants in the Hall of Fame game) is generally the exception, since starters play well into the third quarter and both teams game plan for the game like the regular season.

This answers questions such as whether Oscars will return to Monday nights or shift its calendar dates to earlier in the year. The announcement also signals to the other awards events to set their own dates and venues. All the Oscar ceremonies, as usual, will air live on ABC and in multiple countries around the world. The three-year plan is unusual; on April 17 last year, the Acad unveiled its dates for the 87th Oscars, but nothing beyond. This is another sign of the org’s sense of continuity. Several years ago, the Acad signed Craig Zadan and Neil Meron to produce three Oscar shows to both avoid the year-to-year mindset of finding a new producer for each show and to give the producers a chance to build on their learning. Zadan and Meron produced the 2013-15 rites, announcing that they will not return next year. AMPAS moved the ceremonies a month earlier for the 76th awards, held Feb. 29, 2004. Ever since then, there has been occasional speculation that the rites could move again."

The various category winners are awarded a copy of a golden statuette, officially called the \"\"Academy Award of Merit\"\", which has become commonly known by its nickname \"\"Oscar\"\". The sculpture was created by George Stanley. [ 2] The awards, first presented in 1929 at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, are overseen by AMPAS. [ 3] [4]The awards ceremony was first broadcast on radio in 1930 and televised for the first time in 1953. It is now seen live in more than 200 countries and can be streamed live online. [ 5] The Academy Awards ceremony is the oldest worldwide entertainment awards ceremony. Its equivalents – the Emmy Awards for television, the Tony Awards for theater, and the Grammy Awards for music – are modeled after the Academy Awards. ["

By Rachel Lubitz | Feb. 27, 2017On Sunday, stars didn't walk the 2017 Oscars red carpet just looking to impress fashion fans with gorgeous gowns and tuxes — they wanted to make a political statement, too. From the first red-carpet arrivals, it was clear a light blue ribbon worn to show support of the American Civil Liberties Union would be the night's must-have accessory. \"\" This symbol of solidarity with the ACLU acknowledges the commitment of those on the front lines — in the courts, legislatures and in the streets — who are working to ensure that our precious freedoms and values are preserved,\"\" the organization said in a press release. It was first seen on actress Ruth Negga, nominated for best actress for her performance in Loving. Negga paired it with a custom red Valentino lace gown, which made the blue ribbon pop.

An $11 million incentive package with funds from the state, Metro, the Nashville Convention and Visitors Corp. and Ryman Hospitality is also in place as part of the deal.

I have been to a good amount of sporting events over the years including MLB, college football, college basketball, college hockey, NFL, and one NHL game... but I had never been to an NHL game in Nashville. I went to my first one in December of 2016, about a month after I moved here. The moment I stepped into the arena I was stunned, in a good way, and it just kept getting better from there. I had never experienced anything remotely close to what I experienced at that hockey game and the ones that have since followed. Nothing compares to the atmosphere that Bridgestone Arena has for each and every home game. I could go into more detail, but then I'd be writing a novel instead of a review."

A total solar eclipse occurs when the sun, moon and earth lineup, turning day into night for several minutes and revealing the night sky, a 360-degree sunset, and the sun's corona shining from behind the moon. With the proper solar viewing glasses and safety measures, viewers may even look directly at the sun.

"text": "\"by Robin Edgar2000 from The Nazca Lines Website Nazca Geoglyphs and the Eclipse - \"\"Eye in the Sky\"\" that Inspired Them\"\"While Nasca’s trapezoids and lines seem to exhibit some organization, the large drawings of animals and plants defy all explanation. ”Noted archaeoastronomer Anthony Aveni- in Archaeology magazine May/June 2000The ancient Nazca culture of southern Peru is probably most renowned for the mysterious lines and geoglyphs that it inscribed on the high desert plain in the region of Nazca, beginning over two millennia ago. These imposing lines, which extend for hundreds of meters, and monumental images of birds, spiders, monkeys, fish, flowers or rosettes and other natural forms are best seen by eyes that are high above them in the sky. It is in fact very difficult, indeed in most cases quite impossible, to properly view these extensive lines and prodigious geoglyphs from ground level. Modern archaeologists only rediscovered these ancient geoglyphs after commercial pilots who had flown over them in the late 1930’s reported their existence. What phenomenon could possibly have inspired the ancient Nazca Indians to create these tremendous works of art, most of which are invisible to human eyes that are not airborne? Numerous, and quite diverse, theories have been advanced in an effort to explain the reason for the construction of these gigantic lines and geoglyphs. These theories range from the comparatively conservative theories of modern archaeologists to Erik von Daniken ’s original, but highly controversial, proposal that the lines of Nazca were landing strips for ancient visitors from outer space while the geoglyphs served as signals to these space alien ‘gods’. Ironically, but perhaps not surprisingly, it is this latter ‘hypothesis’ that was in fact quite instrumental in bringing the existence of the mysterious Nazca Lines to widespread public attention. One theorist even proposed that the Nazca Indians were able to construct primitive hot air balloons from which they could observe the lines and animal figures."

"text": "\"share Relativity and the Cosmos By Alan Lightman Posted 09.09.97 NOVAIn November of 1919, at the age of 40, Albert Einstein became an overnight celebrity, thanks to a solar eclipse. An experiment had confirmed that light rays from distant stars were deflected by the gravity of the sun in just the amount he had predicted in his theory of gravity, general relativity. General relativity was the first major new theory of gravity since Isaac Newton's more than 250 years earlier. A solar eclipse seen in 1919 offered the first widely accepted confirmation of Einstein's theory of general relativity. Here, a complete solar eclipse photographed from Australia in 2002. Enlarge Photo credit: NASA/ESAEinstein became a hero, and the myth-building began. Headlines appeared in newspapers all over the world. On November 8, 1919, for example, the London Times had an article headlined: \"\"The Revolution In Science/Einstein Versus Newton.\"\" Two days later, The New York Times ' headlines read: \"\"Lights All Askew In The Heavens/Men Of Science More Or Less Agog Over Results Of Eclipse Observations/Einstein Theory Triumphs.\"\" The planet was exhausted from World War I, eager for some sign of humankind's nobility, and suddenly here was a modest scientific genius, seemingly interested only in pure intellectual pursuits."

In the colorful Absaroka Mountain Range, Sleeping Giant's base is on the banks of the north fork of the Shoshone River. Virtually deserted, Sleeping Giant offers 17 runs on 120 acres down a 500-foot vertical drop. 35 acres of cross-country ski trails head off into Yellowstone National Park and the Shoshone National Wilderness from Sleeping Giant's parking lot. Sleeping Giant is also only several miles from Buffalo Bill Cody's historic Pahaska Teepe. The ski area logistically could be ready to open but financially is behind. Because it is a community ski area, it is looking to raise $3.5 million dollars before opening. As of the end of September, it was about $2.2 million short. In addition, the Yellowstone Recreations Foundation, which is in charge of reopening the ski area after it was bought by a private party and donated to the community, is waiting to put up the second chairlift, which is a triple that was bought from Mammoth Mountain in California. The chairlift likely will be eligible for a Business-Ready Community Enhancement Grant through the Wyoming Business Council - but the grant money only can be applied to improvements that are made after the grant is awarded."

The solar eclipse is being joined by the supermoon and also the spring equinox. An equinox occurs when Earth’s poles are not tilted towards the sun, while the supermoon is due to the moon being slightly closer to Earth. Scroll down for video+9While people in the UK were treated to an eclipse, other events took place. Today marks the spring equinox, when day and night is roughly equal. And it is also a supermoon (shown), with the moon at its closest point to Earth. It is very rare for the three events to occur at the same time As Earth orbits the sun, its poles tilt towards and away from it. This is what gives us our seasons. But throughout the year, there are two moments where the tilt of Earth aligns so that it is perpendicular to the sun - normally around 20 March and 22 September."

Not to be confused with Solar eclipse. Recent total eclipses January 31, 2018April 4, 2015 September 28, 2015April 15, 2014 October 8, 2014A lunar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes directly behind Earth and into its shadow. This can occur only when the Sun, Earth, and the Moon are aligned (in syzygy) exactly or very closely so, with the planet in between. Hence, a lunar eclipse can occur only on the night of a full moon. The type and length of an eclipse depend on the Moon's proximity to either node of its orbit. During a total lunar eclipse, Earth completely blocks direct sunlight from reaching the Moon. The only light reflected from the lunar surface has been refracted by Earth's atmosphere. This light appears reddish for the same reason that a sunset or sunrise does: the Rayleigh scattering of bluer light. Due to this reddish color, a totally eclipsed Moon is sometimes called a blood moon."

"text": "Mark the calendar: Missouri and Illinois are prime spots for total solar eclipse next year By Jessica Bock • St. Louis Post-Dispatch Apr 4, 2016 ( …)A total solar eclipse is seen in Belitung, Indonesia, on Wednesday, March 9, 2016. ( AP Photo)It’s not too early to start thinking about Aug. 21, 2017, especially for those who are space and science nuts. Missourians and much of the country will have the opportunity to see a total solar eclipse, an astronomical event that hasn’t happened in this state in centuries. Or in the U. S. since 1979 — and that total eclipse was only visible in a few states. But the Great American Eclipse, as it’s been deemed, will stretch across the United States with a path that makes parts of Missouri and Illinois prime locations to see the moon coming between the sun and the earth, casting its shadow and creating darkness in the middle of the day. Depending on where you are, the length of the total eclipse varies — for example, it’s predicted to last about 20 seconds at the Missouri Botanical Garden; at the University of Missouri-Columbia, about 2½ minutes. Cities along what’s called the path of totality — where the moon completely covers the sun, leaving a glowing ring from the sun’s corona — are already preparing for what’s predicted to be a huge influx of people who don’t want to miss the memorable event. Estimates range from 30,000 visitors to 400,000 depending on the location. There’ll be pre-eclipse tailgating, scientific presentations and data collection, music and other festivities. A columnist at Astronomy Magazine has called for Missouri officials to declare it a state holiday."

Absolute magnitude measures how bright an object would appear if it were exactly 10 parsecs (about 33 light-years) away from Earth. On this scale, the Sun has an absolute magnitude of +4.8 while it has an apparent magnitude of -26.7 because it is so close. Absolute Zero The temperature at which the motion of all atoms and molecules stops and no heat is given off. Absolute zero is reached at 0 degrees Kelvin or -273.16 degrees Celsius."

For the film, see Eclipse of the Sun (film). For the novel, see Eclipse of the Sun (novel). A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun's disk, as seen in this 1999 solar eclipse. Solar prominences can be seen along the limb (in red) as well as extensive coronal filaments. An annular solar eclipse (left) occurs when the Moon is too far away to completely cover the Sun's disk ( May 20, 2012 ). During a partial solar eclipse (right), the Moon blocks only part of the Sun's disk ( October 23, 2014 ). A solar eclipse (as seen from the planet Earth) is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks (\"\" occults \"\") the Sun. This can happen only at new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment referred to as syzygy. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon."

Everything you need to know is right here in one handy place. Taking place regularly throughout the year, Steam Sales offer some of the year’s absolute best PC gaming deals. 2018 means an entire year of new seasonal sales that will likely crop up in the Spring, Summer and just in time for Halloween, Black Friday and Christmas. While Valve rarely releases details of its Steam Sales in advance, the internet is pretty handy at digging up details of upcoming sales – and we’ve already got out first leak of 2018. According to the renegade Steam Database Twitter account (@Steam DB), there will be a quick-fire Steam Lunar New Year Sale, which will take place between February 15-19. The account has a pretty decent track record when it comes to revealing information about Steam Sales, so it’s worth marking on your calendar. It also notes that thanks to Steam Direct – Steam’s new publishing system for developers (which replaced Steam Greenlight back in mid-2017) – database leaks are now surfacing faster than ever, so we should have plenty more juicy nuggets of information to digest throughout the year."

Construction is under way on a new $34 million luxury apartment complex in Oro Valley, as local developer HSL Properties capitalizes on demand from high-end renters who are nervous about buying homes or unable to get mortgages after the housing bust. HSL, which bought a 13-acre property in Oro Valley last summer for $3.3 million, plans to complete the 288-unit complex by mid-2014, said Omar Mireles, executive vice president. Some buildings will be ready for move-in by the end of this year. Residents get access to a movie theater, a dog park, pool and spa, a professional-grade kitchen, recreation rooms, a fitness facility and an on-site independent coffee shop, he said. In addition to the Steam Pump project, called Encantada at Steam Pump Ranch, Oro Valley is the site of a planned 274-unit luxury apartment project from Phoenix developer Kitchell. The project will also include a retail shopping center, said Kitchell's Ryan Cochran. With major employers in Oro Valley expanding operations, the demand for quality rental units is high, and many of the town's existing apartments are aging, said Misti Nowak, the town's communications administrator. Oro Valley's Securaplane Technologies last month broke ground on a planned 55,000-square-foot plant in Innovation Park with plans for about 50 new employees by 2018. And Ventana Medical Systems announced plans in 2010 to add 500 new jobs in Oro Valley. \"\""

"text": "\"Peter Cooper And The B&O's \"\" Tom Thumb \"\"The appropriately named \"\"Tom Thumb\"\" was the first success steam locomotive designed in the United States, created by Peter Cooper during the summer of 1830 (steam locomotives shipped from England began operating in America just a few months after the locomotive was tested). It is without question the most recognized locomotive ever built (in the U. S.), which interestingly enough because of only being an experiment was built mostly with cobbled together parts found here and there. While some of its legend has never been fully documented on paper there is no question that it ushered in a new era for the railroad industry where no longer would true horse power pull trains but instead the artificial variety, found within the mechanical iron horse. Unfortunately, the original \"\"Tom Thumb\"\" was not saved for posterity's sake (as seemingly few experimental designs of any kind are) but a replica built during the early 20th century is preserved, and operational, at the Baltimore & Ohio Railroad Museum. The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad officially began construction on February 4, 1828 since Independence Day was the preferred date to begin building a new transportation project, which in those days had always been waterway canals. Grading began late that year and into 1829. By the following year, January 1830, the B&O had about a 1.5-mile segment of standard-gauge track (4 feet, 8 1/2 inches) open for business west of Baltimore. This had quickly accelerated by that May when the railroad had finished a 13-mile route to Ellicott Mills (today known as Ellicott City) where it constructed today's oldest still-standing depot. By that summer the B&O was hauling small consists of passengers and freight along its main line (Ellicott Mills, for instance, offered freight business in the form of general local business like farm products as well as a granite quarry, known as Ellicott's quarries).

We recently got tipped off to a news story from an Indian paper that tells about four brand new steam locomotives being built at a factory in that country. These engines will be diesel and furnace oil fired, are destined to haul freight and will travel at the blazing speed of 18mph on flat ground and 9mph up hills. The fuel appears to be carried in a \"\"saddle back\"\" style tank that lays over the top of the boiler. As you can see in the photo, there's still some work to be done, but the engine is on the wheels and will soon be chuffing away down the tracks. We bet that this baby will be a real looker wearing a coat of black paint, especially with the polished brass smoke stack up in the front. The works constructing the locomotives has been trusted to build four copies at a cost of just under $9,000,000 (US). We're thinking that the nine-mill includes everything from designing the thing, casting all the pieces, assembling it, and making sure it works. Here we'd guess that the job would run into the 10s of millions for that much work. These newly built Indian locomotives are replacing pieces constructed in Switzerland ages ago."

Silverwood Theme Park is expecting its ninth consecutive annual increase in attendance during the upcoming season that starts May 3. Season-pass sales and group business are up over previous years, which is a good indicator for the upcoming season, says Nancy Di Giammarco, Silverwood’s marketing director. “We would be happy with a 5 percent increase, but we expect it to be more,” Di Giammarco says. The 2013 attendance totaled 679,000 people at the North Idaho theme park, about 30 miles north of Coeur d’Alene via U. S. 95, an increase of 3.5 percent compared with the year-earlier attendance. A 5 percent increase in 2014 would put the total attendance at nearly 713,000.“We would love to be over 700,000,” Di Giammarco says. Entrepreneur Gary Norton, founder of former Spokane-based high-tech concern ISC Corp., opened Silverwood in 1988 as a working museum of sorts to display his historic airplanes, antique automobiles, and a vintage steam train. Since then, Silverwood has grown into the largest theme park in the Pacific Northwest, Di Giammarco says. For 2014, Silverwood will offer nearly 70 rides, slides, and attractions, including four roller coasters and the Boulder Beach water park. The family-owned park adds attractions every year or two, which helps keep attendance on the rise, Di Giammarco says."

"text": "\"Chainsaws: A History To purchase this book on sale click here The 1830 osteotome was the first chainsaw. The earliest reference I could find on chainsaws comes from the Canadian Medical Association Journal in an article written by Wolf Seufert, MD, DSc: \"\"Orthopedics became a specialty with the help of a new instrument, the osteotome, invented around 1830 by the German Bernard Heine. This illustration from a contemporary inventory of surgical tools shows clearly that this clever master of prosthetics had in fact invented the chain saw. The links of the chain carried small cutting teeth with the edges set at an angle; the chain was moved around a guiding blade by turning the handle of the sprocket wheel. Several major manufacturers of chain saws claim to have invented the first chain saw and all their claims point to the 1920s. However, the 1830 osteotome would pre-date them all. One claim states that a California inventor named Muir was the first person to put a chain on a blade to use for logging purposes, technically inventing the first logging chainsaw. However, Muir's invention weighed hundreds of pounds and required a crane. This invention was neither a commercial or practical success. Other examples of early automatic logging saws were: the 1861 Hamilton saw that was hand-cranked by one or two men and looked like a spinning wheel; and the American riding saw of the 1880s that resembled a rowing machine that cutters could sit on."

"text": "\"What Happens When You Request A Refund On Steam? Posted by Cheeseness, 14 June 2015 at 4:52 pm UTC | Views: 44,623Share As covered previously here on GOL, Valve added a refund system to Steam earlier this month. This has been a very prominent point of contention for a long time, which has caused problems for developers (who had no way to remove a game from a Steam user's account if they did want to offer a refund) and users (who would often be told that Steam doesn't give refunds when legitimate issues warranted some kind of compensation) alike. At the time of introduction, the Steam refund policy is very broad. Users are entitled to an unconditional refund within 14 days providing they have not played more than 2 hours' worth. The policy states that Valve will be keeping an eye out for abusers and may revoke their right to a Steam refund (users with VAC bans also lose the right to a refund for that game). Whilst the refund system is definitely a smooth, accessible experience, it is a negative proposition (one I hope that most readers will be fortunate enough to avoid), and for this reason I thought I'd go through the motions and give an idea of what's involved. Note that some of the screenshots shown were taken after I'd been refunded and re-purchased the game, accounting for the discrepancy in hours played, achievements and dates. Since I didn't want to inconvenience any developers through this, I chose a game I was interested in and could justify re-purchasing after getting a refund. In this case, that game was a four pack of Blaze Rush, an isometric combat racer from Targem Games (now known as Star Gem Inc, the company behind Star Conflict - see here for a Star Conflict related interview featured previously on GOL)."

"text": "\"games Steam Summer Sale 2015 Dates Leaked? By Pete Haas 2 years ago If you're planning to make a big purchase on Steam, you may want to hold off for now. The Steam Summer Sale 2015 will be starting in a few days according to a leak. The official Steam community page on Russian social network VK says that the Steam Summer Sale will kick off on Thursday, June 11th at 20:00 Moscow Time, or 1 PM Eastern. They say it will run until the same time on June 22nd. An \"\"Encore Sale\"\" starting on June 20th will feature discounts from all the companies that offered deals in earlier days. Generally, when there's a leak like this by some secondary website, someone quickly pulls down the information in question after it gets widespread media attention. That hasn't happened in this case, though. This wouldn't be the first time a Steam sale's details were leaked prior to launch. In fact, there's a long tradition of that happening."

But in reality, they are harmless—and they even helped prove Einstein's theory of relativity. Solar eclipses used to be seen as omens.©i Stockphoto.com/wynnter The word eclipse comes from ekleipsis, the ancient Greek word for being abandoned. Scientific Discoveries The British astronomer and mathematician, Sir Arthur Eddington, used the total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919 to test Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. By taking pictures of stars near the Sun during totality, Eddington was able to show that gravity can bend light. This phenomenon is called gravitational deflection. All eclipses worldwide 1900–2199Helium Named After the Sun A solar eclipse is also responsible for the discovery of helium. The first piece of evidence for the existence of the second lightest and the second most abundant element known to humans was discovered by the French astronomer Jules Janssen during a total solar eclipse on August 16, 1868. Because of this, it's named after the Greek word for the Sun: Helios. Predicting the Emperor's Future Surviving records have shown that the Babylonians and the ancient Chinese were able to predict solar eclipses as early as 2500 BCE."

A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon's apparent diameter is larger than the Sun's, blocking all direct sunlight, turning day into darkness. Totality occurs in a narrow path across Earth's surface, with the partial solar eclipse visible over a surrounding region thousands of kilometres wide. It will be the fourth longest eclipse of the 21st century with a magnitude of 1.0774 occurring just one hour before perigee. [ 1] It will be visible throughout much of the continental United States, with a path of totality running through northern California, Nevada, Utah, Colorado, Kansas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Mississippi, Alabama, and Florida. The total eclipse will be greatest over the Bahamas, before continuing over the Turks and Caicos Islands, Dominican Republic, Haiti, Venezuela, Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, Suriname, French Guiana, and Brazil. The path of totality of this eclipse will be seen over many major cities, including Reno, Salt Lake City, Colorado Springs, Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Tampa, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Miami, Nassau, Santo Domingo, Belém, São Luís and Recife. [ 2] It will also be the second total eclipse visible from Little Rock in 21 years.

"text": "\"davidfntau on Flickr This Friday, March 20, marks this year's first and only total eclipse of the sun, when the moon passes directly between Earth and the sun. Not only that, this is an extremely rare type of solar eclipse because it takes place on the first day of spring and when the moon is at its closest distance to Earth, known as a supermoon. ( The supermoon, however, is a new moon, and will therefore be invisible to Earth. ) This is the first time since the turn of the century that a total solar eclipse has fallen on the same day as the start of spring, known as the vernal equinox. We won't see an event like this again until the year 2034. And after that, the only other two such events will be in 2053 and 2072. Although no one in the US will get a chance to see the total solar eclipse, many parts of Northern Africa and all of Europe will get a glimpse. The most stunning part of the eclipse, when the moon is directly in front of the sun, will take place at approximately 9:46 am UT. Check out the map below to see where in the world the eclipse will be visible: Time and Date If you're not in the right spot to see it in person, you can watch it online.

S. history, a total solar eclipse that crosses the country from coast to coast will be visible only in America, and you can watch it live on TIME.com beginning at noon on Monday. The rare celestial spectacle in August has been dubbed “The Great American Eclipse. ”The moon will completely block the sun, momentarily engulfing parts of about a dozen states in sudden darkness, on Aug. 21, 2017, experts say. No one outside the continental U. S. will be able to see the eclipse, which makes landfall on the West Coast near Salem, Ore. and continues diagonally across the country until it hits Columbia, S. C. In addition to being the first total solar eclipse with a trajectory exclusive to the U. S. since the birth of America in 1776, it’s also the first total eclipse of the sun that will be visible from the contiguous U. S. since 1979. NEXT: Watch the Whole Total Solar Eclipse in 4 Minutes Here’s everything you need to know about the upcoming sky show: What is a total solar eclipse? A total solar eclipse, or total eclipse of the sun, happens when the moon passes directly between the sun and the Earth and completely covers the entire face of the sun. The phenomenon typically only lasts for about two minutes for those standing within the eclipse’s path of totality. However, a partial eclipse — which happens when the moon only blocks a portion of the sun — usually lasts about two to three hours. In August, all of North America will experience a partial eclipse but only some states will get to witness the total eclipse. The event is different from a lunar eclipse, which occurs when the Earth passes between the sun and moon and blocks sunlight from reaching the moon."

Why Is Totality During a Solar Eclipse Not Accomplished? How Would You Describe a Solar Eclipse? Full Answer There are four types of solar eclipses: annual, partial, hybrid and total. Hybrid and total eclipses involve a complete occlusion of the sun's disk, while annual and partial eclipses do not fully block the sun. Partial eclipses do not fully block the sun's disk, although how much of the sun remains in view depends on the viewing location and circumstances."

Scientists say the another \"\"deep\"\" partial eclipse visible in the UK will not occur until August 12, 2026. The next total eclipse will not take place until September 2090. Here are some more notable dates: August 11 2018: A very small partial eclipse on the northern coast of Scotland, Orkney and Shetland. June 10 2021: A partial eclipse across Britain ranging from 50% in northern Scotland to 30% in south-east England. October 25, 2022: A partial eclipse across Britain with north-east Scotland August 12 2026: An eclipse which is total across Iceland, the Atlantic Ocean and Spain Scientists say the phenomenon will continue to happen for the next 60 million years - at which point the distance between the sun and the moon will be too great."

For the novel, see Eclipse of the Sun (novel). A total solar eclipse occurs when the Moon completely covers the Sun's disk, as seen in this 1999 solar eclipse. Solar prominences can be seen along the limb (in red) as well as extensive coronal filaments. An annular solar eclipse (left) occurs when the Moon is too far away to completely cover the Sun's disk ( May 20, 2012 ). During a partial solar eclipse (right), the Moon blocks only part of the Sun's disk ( October 23, 2014 ). A solar eclipse (as seen from the planet Earth) is a type of eclipse that occurs when the Moon passes between the Sun and Earth, and when the Moon fully or partially blocks (\"\" occults \"\") the Sun. This can happen only at new moon when the Sun and the Moon are in conjunction as seen from Earth in an alignment referred to as syzygy. In a total eclipse, the disk of the Sun is fully obscured by the Moon."

"text": "Total lunar eclipse composite image by Fred Espenak A lunar eclipse happens when the Earth, sun and moon align in space, with Earth in between the sun and moon. At such times, Earth’s shadow falls on the full moon, causing a lunar eclipse. A solar eclipse happens at the opposite phase of the moon – new moon – when the moon passes between the sun and Earth. Why aren’t there eclipses at every full and new moon? Dates of lunar and solar eclipses in 2017The moon takes about a month to orbit around the Earth. If the moon orbited in the same plane as the ecliptic – Earth’s orbital plane – we would have two eclipses every month. There’d be an eclipse of the moon at every full moon. And, two weeks later, there’d be an eclipse of the sun at new moon for a total of at least 24 eclipses every year. But the moon’s orbit is inclined to Earth’s orbit by about 5 degrees. Twice a month the moon intersects the ecliptic – Earth’s orbital plane – at points called nodes."

It is possible that the early atmosphere on Earth was more sensitive to solar irradiation than today, so that greater glacial melting (and thicker sediment deposits) could have occurred during years with greater sunspot activity. [ 1] [2] This would presume annual layering; however, alternative explanations (diurnal) have also been proposed. [ 3]Analysis of tree rings revealed a detailed picture of past solar cycles: Dendrochronologically dated radiocarbon concentrations have allowed for a reconstruction of sunspot activity covering 11,400 years.

Totality during the 1999 solar eclipse. Solar prominences can be seen along the limb (in red) as well as extensive coronal filaments. An eclipse is an astronomical event that occurs when an astronomical object is temporarily obscured, either by passing into the shadow of another body or by having another body pass between it and the viewer. This alignment of three celestial objects is known as a syzygy. [ 1] Apart from syzygy, the term eclipse is also used when a spacecraft reaches a position where it can observe two celestial bodies so aligned. An eclipse is the result of either an occultation (completely hidden) or a transit (partially hidden). The term eclipse is most often used to describe either a solar eclipse, when the Moon's shadow crosses the Earth's surface, or a lunar eclipse, when the Moon moves into the Earth's shadow. However, it can also refer to such events beyond the Earth–Moon system: for example, a planet moving into the shadow cast by one of its moons, a moon passing into the shadow cast by its host planet, or a moon passing into the shadow of another moon. A binary star system can also produce eclipses if the plane of the orbit of its constituent stars intersects the observer's position."

But what actually happens to your eyes when you try to hold a staring contest with our closest star? It's not pleasant, that's for sure. Here's a look at what you shouldn't see for yourself. The moment you begin looking at the sun, you start to develop a sunburn on your eyeball. Of the three types of light that the sun produces—visible, infrared, and ultraviolet—UV is the most damaging to structures within the eye, especially when reflected off sand, snow or water."

Here’s something I don’t get, and I’d love it if someone well versed in US copyright law could explain it to me: Why must a copyright notice include a year? Especially if no notice is required for copyright protection? Having to assign a year to a copyright notice makes things rather confusing in online media. For instance, In a blog or any other site where fresh content regularly appears, there typically is a date assigned to each item (at least in the metadata, if not displayed). But then… there generally is a visible copyright notice that appears throughout the site and is managed by a template. So if you look up archived content from previous years, you’ll view the older content on a page that bears the copyright notice for the current year. That doesn’t make much sense to me…My colleague Steve Outing recently reminded his readers to update the year in their online copyright notice. This made me wonder whether a year is really a legal requirement. So I looked it up."

Palmer1999The book of Revelation belongs to a class of chiefly Jewish (and later Christian) literature called “apocalyptic.” The word “apocalypse” has been borrowed from the book of Revelation and applied to these other writings. Apocalyptic refers, in a broad sense, to a group of books written between 200 B. C. and A. D. 100. Two historical markers are usually given for the span during which the Jewish apocalyptic works were written and edited:the persecution of the Jews by the Greco-Syrian king Antiochus Epiphanes (167 B. C.) andthe destruction of the Jewish nation by the Roman emperor Hadrian (A. D. 135). Apocalyptic writings usually had certain characteristics in common. Writers generally claimed that a divine disclosure had been given through an angelic intermediary. God’s secret purpose was said to have been revealed through a dream or vision in the heavenly realm. Almost all apocalypses are pseudonymous. Writers of apocalyptic works usually wrote in the name of heroes from Israel’s history. There are books ascribed to Enoch, Abraham, the Twelve Patriarchs, Moses, Ezra, Enoch and Elijah, among others."

In the United States, a patent is a grant by the federal government of the right to prevent others from making, using, selling, offering for sale, or importing into the United States the patented invention. There are two important types of legally enforceable patents in the United States: utility patents and design patents.

Below are some examples. There are others, but there may be many more that have not yet been discovered. Sites such as the Great Pyramids and Easter Island, are speculated to be some of the most ancient in the known world, and to have links to the civilizations of Atlantis and possibly Lemuria.

These sites indicate the existence of an ancient cosmic spirituality, sometimes referred to as ancient solar religions – some highly advanced in their technology and understanding of the cosmos.

Here’s a guide to twelve common signs, including how they developed and in which contexts they are used or avoided.1. & ( Ampersand)The ampersand was, at least until well into the nineteenth century, treated as the twenty-seventh letter of the alphabet, but its star has fallen, so that now it is used only informally except in registered names of businesses (“Ay, Bee & See Inc.”), which should be written as rendered; a comma preceding it is extraneous. The symbol comes from the cursive formation of the Latin word et (“and”), and the name is a slurring contraction of “and per se and,” which used to terminate schoolroom recitals of the alphabet: The phrase means “and by itself and”; instead of reciting, “. . . W, X, Y, Z, and,” children said, “. . . W, X, Y, Z, and per se and” to clarify that “and” referred to a list item rather than serving as a conjunction for an item that was left unuttered. The symbol is also seen in &c. (“et cetera”), an alternate form of etc. American Psychological Association (APA) style allows the ampersand to link author names in an in-text citation (“Laurel & Hardy, 1921”), but other style guides call for using the word and.2. * ( Asterisk)The asterisk is used to call out a footnote or to refer to an annotation of special terms or conditions, to substitute for letters in profanity (“Oh, s***!”) or a name rendered anonymous (“the subject, M***”), to serve as a low-tech alternative to a typographical bullet, or provide emphasis in place of boldface (“Do *not* go there — the food is awful.”)."

"text": "\"Purim Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Wikipedia . Purim (po͞o`rĭm) [Heb. ,=lots], Jewish festival celebrated on the 14th of Adar, the twelfth month in the Jewish calendar (Feb.–March). During leap years it is celebrated in Adar II. According to thebook of Esther Esther, book of the Bible.

Click the link for more information. ( Esther 3.7; 9.24,26) it commemorates the deliverance of the Persian Jews from a general massacre; however, the festival may have arisen in the pagan celebration of the advent of spring. Preceded by a day of fasting, Purim is celebrated as a day of joy, marked by merrymakingand feasting. The Book of Esther is read in the synagogue, and it is customary for children to makenoise to blot out the name of the evildoer Haman."

"text": "\"The following are submissions about the meaning and origin of the star of life: The Blue \"\"Star of Life\"\" -- The Emergency Medical Care Symbol by Arline Zatz Just as a pharmacists have the mortar and pestle and doctors have the caduceus, Emergency Medical Technicians have a symbol, its use is encouraged both by the American Medical Association and the Advisory Council within the Department of Health, Education and Welfare. The symbol applies to all emergency medical goods and services which are funded under the DOT/EMS program. We see the \"\"Star of Life\"\" constantly, whether it be on ambulances or uniforms. But, how many realize what this symbol represents and how it was born? Not too many, judging from the random survey I conducted after having realized I had no idea myself. Designed by Leo R. Schwartz, Chief of the EMS Branch, National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the \"\"Star of Life\"\" was created after the American National Red Cross complained in 1973 that they objected to the common use of an Omaha orange cross on a square background of reflectorized white which clearly imitated the Red Cross symbol. NHTSA investigated and felt the complaint was justified. The newly designed, six barred cross, was adapted from the Medical Identification Symbol of the American Medical Association and was registered as a certification mark on February 1, 1977 with the Commissioner of Patents and Trade-marks in the name of the National Highway Traffic Safety and Administration. The trademark will remain in effect for twenty years from this date. Each of the bars of the blue \"\"Star of Life\"\" represents the six system function of the EMS, as illustrated below: The capitol letter \"\"R\"\" enclosed in the circle on the right represents the fact that the symbol is a \"\"registered\"\" certification."

It’s a word, phrase, logo, symbol or design, or a combination of these elements, used to identify or distinguish the goods and services of one company or individual from others. What does it mean \"\"to Trademark\"\"? When people say \"\"you need to Trademark,\"\" they generally mean you need to file a Trademark application with the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO). While mere use of the word or logo without registration is enough to create common law trademark ownership rights, those rights only extend to the geographical area where the mark is being used. A Federal Trademark registration is much stronger protection because it provides national protection. What is a Service Mark? Legally, a Service Mark is a Trademark, however, Service Marks relate to services, while Trademarks can relate to either goods or services.

Kennedy, the 35th President of the United States, was assassinated on Friday, November 22, 1963, at 12:30 p.m. in Dallas, Texas while riding in a presidential motorcade in Dealey Plaza. [ 1] Kennedy was riding with his wife Jacqueline, Texas Governor John Connally, and Connally's wife, Nellie, and was fatally shot by former U. S. Marine [2]Lee Harvey Oswald. A ten-month investigation by the Warren Commission from November 1963 to September 1964 concluded that Oswald acted alone in shooting Kennedy and that Jack Ruby also acted alone when he killed Oswald before he could stand trial. [ 3] Kennedy's death marked the fourth (following those of Lincoln, Garfield, and Mc Kinley) and most recent assassination of an American President. Vice President Lyndon B. Johnson automatically became President upon Kennedy's death. [ 4]In contrast to the conclusions of the Warren Commission, the United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was \"\"probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy\"\". [ 5] The HSCA agreed with the Warren Commission that the injuries sustained by Kennedy and Connally were caused by Oswald's three rifle shots, but they also determined the existence of an additional gunshot based on analysis of an audio recording and therefore \"\"... a high probability that two gunmen fired at [the] President.\"\" ["

If you still believe that Oswald was the lone assassin who killed Kennedy, you are greatly mistaken. If I told you who really killed Kennedy, you would probably never believe it. Though much of the evidence has been destroyed over the years, and more than 74 people who knew about the conspiracy have been murdered to keep them quiet, but yet the evidence that still remains is overwhelming. Dorothy Kilgallen a famous writer and Editorialist of numerous political columns, had just completed a lengthy interview with Jack Ruby in prison, and had told some of her friends privately that she had uncovered information about the JFK assassination that would \"\"blow the case wide open.\"\" Days later she was discovered dead in her apartment, and the manuscript that she had been working on was gone. J.

"text": "For the World War II generation, it was December 7, 1941 that was a “date which will live in infamy.” For today’s Americans it is September 11, 2001. For my parents’ generation, November 22, 1963, is the infamous day that everyone remembers where they were when they heard the news that President Kennedy had been shot. The assassination of President John F. Kennedy is one of the most historic—and horrific— days of the 20 th century, and its impact is still being felt today. It’s hard to believe it has been 50 years this week since the tragic events unfolded in Dallas, Texas. In commemoration of this important milestone in our Nation’s history, the U. S. Government Printing Office has assembled a number of Official Federal publications that help us reflect on the huge legacy left by “JFK” in his short but impactful 1,000 days in office. JFK as a Senator and Presidential Candidate When John F. Kennedy was running for President, he was a United States Senator from Massachusetts. These publications give insight to the man during this period of transition from active Senator to President-elect. Senate, 1789-1989, Volume 3: Classic Speeches, 1830-1993 contains the text of some of the most famous speeches by United States Senators, including a young Senator John F. Kennedy. Getting To Know the President: Intelligence Briefings of Presidential Candidates, 1952-2004 (Paperback) and the Audiobook-MP3 edition are new publications that tell the story of how the CIA and the US Intelligence Community begin to brief Presidential candidates and Presidents-elect, including JFK and Lyndon Johnson, on vital intelligence issues even before they take office."

At pertinent passages I've inserted photos taken from various books* and magazines -- including the photo above of JFK and \"\"First Friend\"\" Dave Powers leaving that very church -- a half-mile from the White House -- during the week of the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962. Almost exactly one year later -- on almost exactly that same spot -- John-John stood saluting his father's coffin. ~ Jackie Jura A LITTLE SOLDIER'S SALUTE by Robert M Andrews, UPI Correspondent Washington, DC, November 25, 1963 (from Four Days: The Historical Record of The Death of President Kennedy, by UPI)A little boy at his grieving mother's side saluted the passing casket. And in that moment, he suddenly became the brave soldier his father would have wanted him to be on this day, of all days. For today, John F. Kennedy, Jr., turned three. His world was strangely different, in little ways a child notices but does not understand. Where was his daddy? The tall man with the laughing blue eyes who had a big desk and saw lots of important people and stooped to spank him good-naturedly and took him on helicopter rides and called him \"\"John-John\"\". This was supposed to be the day of The Party."

On November 22, 1963, I was in the cafeteria line for lunch at Marquette University High School in Milwaukee, where I was a junior. I heard the news from a boy serving food and immediately spun around and ran out the door to a drugstore two blocks away where there was a radio. It was about 12:40 p.m. when I started listening, about ten minutes after the shots were fired. For the first twenty minutes I was listening, the network radio reports were saying that shots came from the front, from the railroad overpass or the hill overlooking the street. Then, around 1 p.m., the radio started reporting that all the shots came from behind, from a building called the Texas School Book Depository. I was struck by the strangeness of how the direction of the shots changed and by the lack of explanation for that drastic shift, although at first I didn’t fully understand what was being done to our consciousness of the event by the news media. Soon there were no more reports of shots from the front. That night, I watched on television as Lee Harvey Oswald, the man falsely accused of killing both President Kennedy and Dallas Police Officer J. D. Tippit, said, “I haven’t killed anybody!”"

Congress passed Senate Joint Resolution 137 authorizing the Presidential appointed Commission to report on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, mandating the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of evidence. [ 3] Its 888-page final report was presented to President Johnson on September 24, 1964 [4] and made public three days later. [ 5] It concluded that President Kennedy was assassinated by Lee Harvey Oswald and that Oswald acted entirely alone. [ 6] It also concluded that Jack Ruby also acted alone when he killed Oswald two days later. [ 7] The Commission's findings have proven controversial and have been both challenged and supported by later studies. The Commission took its unofficial name—the Warren Commission—from its chairman, Chief Justice Earl Warren. [ 8] According to published transcripts of Johnson's presidential phone conversations, some major officials were opposed to forming such a commission and several commission members took part only reluctantly.

"text": "\"SUSPECTS IN THE JFK ASSASSINATIONMichael T. Griffith2001@All Rights Reserved Second Edition Revised on 12/19/2002Who would have wanted to see President Kennedy dead? Various Warren Commission (WC) critics have identified a number of people and groups whom they suspect were either involved in the assassination or had foreknowledge of it and did nothing to prevent it because they wanted JFK out of the way. There is a wide difference of opinion among researchers concerning suspects. According to many researchers, the following individuals and groups were involved in the assassination conspiracy or knew about it and did nothing to prevent it:* Lyndon Johnson* The CIA* J. Edgar Hoover* Oil baron H. L. Hunt* Certain Mafia leaders* Anti-Castro Cubans* Ultra-conservative elements in the military* Richard Nixon* Family and allies of South Vietnam's murdered dictator, Ngo Dinh Diem* Fidel Castro Lyndon Johnson Personally, I can't make up my mind about Lyndon Johnson. I suspect Johnson was involved in the plot to murder President Kennedy, but I'm by no means certain, and I wouldn't be surprised to learn he was not involved. I think it's also possible Johnson knew about the plot ahead of time but did nothing to prevent it. All this being said, I think it's clear Johnson was a driving force behind the cover-up that followed the assassination. Some of Johnson's actions in the hours and days following the shooting give me pause and have caused many researchers to suspect Johnson of wrongdoing to varying degrees. By November 1963, Johnson suspected he was going to be dropped from the presidential ticket in 1964, and there is in fact good evidence that JFK was going to get a new running mate for his reelection campaign (26:291-295). Also, Johnson was facing at least one serious probe into his alleged involvement in criminal activity."

An official investigation by the Warren Commission was conducted over a 10-month period, and its report was published in September 1964. The Commission concluded that the assassination was carried out solely by Lee Harvey Oswald, an employee of the Texas School Book Depository in Dealey Plaza. This conclusion initially met with widespread support among the American public, but polling in recent years shows a majority of that public now hold beliefs contrary to the Commission's findings. [ 1] The United States House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded in 1979 that Kennedy was assassinated by Oswald probably as a result of a conspiracy.

"text": "15 Actresses Who Could Play Poison Ivy In Gotham City Sirens By Rose Moore 12.17.2016 40 Comments Share On Facebook Earlier this week, we learned Suicide Squad ’s Harley Quinn (Margot Robbie) will be returning to our screens – not in a solo film, or a Harley and Joker movie (both have been suggested by fans in the past), but as part of a Gotham City Sirens feature. This is huge news for fans of the character, as well as fans of the other two ladies in the eponymous trio, Catwoman and Poison Ivy. Starring Robbie, and with David Ayer in the director’s chair, this could become one of the most popular team-ups in the DCEU. It’s phenomenal to see DC creating more female-led comic book movies, especially as the comics giant is about to release a solo Wonder Woman movie, the first female-fronted solo movie in the current comic book renaissance. Although fans were thrilled at the news that we would be seeing Harley return, many were less than impressed by the film’s first casting rumor to rear its head: that the role of Poison Ivy is being eyed by none other than Megan Fox. While this is very much in the realm of speculation so far, fans have been decidedly less enthused by the idea of the Transformers and TMNT actress taking on such a major comic book role. After putting together a list of actresses we’d like to see play Catwoman, we’ve decided to lay out a few suggestions for other phenomenal women who could do Pamela Isley justice. Here are 15 Actresses Who Could Play Poison Ivy In Gotham City Sirens.15. Maddie Hasson Advertising [x]One of the youngest actresses on our list, Maddie Hasson is definitely an up-and-coming star, and a Gotham City Sirens role could prove to be the perfect breakout vehicle for the 21-year-old. A professional dancer as well as an actress, Hasson certainly has the physical ability to compete with Robbie (who does the majority of her own stunts), and to take on a demanding superhero role."

Feb 19, 2016 | Doximity Blog By Sarah-Richelle Lemas, Doximity If a healthy dose of Valentine’s Day amore has you dreaming of your future offspring, prep your tiny tikes for a future career in medicine by choosing their name wisely. While there’s no way of knowing who the future doctors of America will be, we’ve seen commonalities in our care teams over the past few decades. Just for fun we analyzed the names of all U. S. physicians by first name, last name and the state in which they practice. Minority Report: Popular last names point to the increase in diversity in medicine over time Physicians born anytime in the 1930s - 1950s are more likely to have the surname Smith, but starting in the 1960s the U. S. saw an uptick in diversity, and in both the 1970s and 1980s, Patel topped this list as the most common last name among all physicians. Patel is now officially the last name most frequently preceded by “Dr. ”Rank 1930‑39 1940‑49 1950‑59 1960‑69 1970‑79 1980‑891 Smith Smith Smith Lee Patel Patel2 Lee Lee Johnson Smith Lee Shah3 Miller Miller Miller Johnson Kim Lee4 Johnson Johnson Brown Patel Smith Smith5 Kim Patel Willams Kim Nguyen Nguyen This trend is likely to continue. Since the 1980s, the number of Asian American med school graduates has increased from almost none to making up approximately a fifth of all graduates (source: AAMC Data Warehouse ).

"text": "\"Why ivy creeping up the walls of your home could actually protect the building thanks to 'thermal shield'By Fiona Macrae for the Daily Mail Updated: 19:57 EDT, 14 May 201025View comments If the thought of owning a home with ivy climbing the walls conjures up images of crumbling bricks and rising damp - you can think again. Researchers say the plant has been unfairly blamed for causing damage to buildings, often knocking thousands off their sale price. The scientists from Oxford University - where ivy adds colour and character to many of the college buildings - found that rather than damaging walls, the plant positively protects them. A team of scientists claims that rather than damaging walls, ivy positively protects them by acting as a 'thermal shield'A three-year study concluded that ivy's web of dark green leaves acts as a 'thermal shield', insulating brickwork from the extremes of temperature and moisture that often cause cracks. It can also protect against pollution damage. However, the plant has not completely been given the all clear. Although it was a boon for buildings that were intact, the research showed that where walls are already damaged, ivy finds its way into cracks and holes. The plant is unlikely to worsen damage on solid brickwork though, with the effect mainly cosmetic. The research team found that ivy can be safely taken off leaving walls intact. Lead researcher Professor Heather Viles said: 'Ivy plants have aerial roots and tiny little suckers that they stick on with but even though these pads are sticky their reach and effect is very superficial.

"text": "\"Why Beyoncé named her daughter Blue Ivy The birth of singer Beyoncé's first child had triggered speculation over the reasons behind the unusual name with fans devising their own theories for the origin of Blue Ivy. Beyoncé displays the bump, at an MTV awards ceremony in LA Photo: Getty Images11:15AM GMT 09 Jan 2012On the surface, Beyoncé and her husband Jay-Z appear to have joined the ranks of the many celebrities who opt for quirky names for their offspring, such as Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin, whose daughter is called Apple, and Jamie Oliver, whose son is called Buddy Bear. But some have suggested the name Blue Ivy has cryptic significance for the couple. A popular theory is Blue was chosen to signify producer Jay-Z's Blueprint albums, while some believe Ivy was chosen because it represents the Roman numeral for four (IV), which is Beyoncé's favourite number. Jay-Z, whose real name Shawn Carter, has produced three Blueprint albums and if the theory about the significance of the number four is correct, perhaps another addition to the franchise is being planned. Blue is also his favourite colour. Meanwhile, Beyoncé has previously explained her favourite number and said: \"\"We all have special numbers in our lives, and four is that for me. It’s the day I was born. \"\" Related Articles Beyoncé's bump is so retro31 Aug 2011Beyoncé in pictures31 Aug 2011Beyoncé congratulated by stars09 Jan 2012The former Destiny's Child star's birthday is September 4 while her mother's is January 4.

"text": "\"2012: Year of the Geranium (Pelargonium)Betty Earl, The National Garden Bureau Introduction and Nomenclature The bedding plants gardeners plant out in late spring and bring inside in autumn are commonly known as geraniums; but geraniums they are not. They are pelargoniums. True geraniums are the \"\"cranesbills\"\", hardy North American and European herbaceous perennials; while pelargoniums are semi-tender or tender plants, mostly from South Africa, that have graced our gardens with their large flowers for decades. Geranium 'Americana White Splash'We have to remember that botany wasn't an exact science in the 17th century when the first geraniums and pelargoniums were introduced. So, based on the shape of their fruit, plant collectors generally lumped both together as \"\"geranium\"\". To tackle the complex history of geranium or pelargonium, one has to confront the use of common names versus scientific ones. Scientific names give individuals a common language by which they could communicate with other people, no matter the country they are from or what their mother tongue might be. In 1753 the famous and influential Swedish botanist, Linnaeus, published his two-volume book called Species Plantarum, in which he attempted to pull together the names and descriptions of all known plants. He placed all geranium and pelargonium plant species in the genus Geranium. A few years later, the French botanist L'Heritier, noting that some geranium species of plants were so distinct that they should be in a different genus, formally transferred them from Geranium to Pelargonium."

During a Christmas shopping trip in 1984, doll maker Pleasant T. Rowland realized that most dolls either depicted girls assuming the role of adults or mothers, and that none of them dealt with girls just being girls. Whether you're selecting a doll for a special child or are a doll collector yourself, you'll find a wide variety of American Girl dolls to capture and inspire the imagination. Discover the History of American Girl Dolls When Pleasant T. Rowland started the Pleasant Company in 1984, she announced that she was going to make dolls for girls between 8 and 12 years of age that were not only educational but also dealt with the topic of girlhood. Theretofore, no other doll makers had targeted girls beyond the age of 10, but the success of the American Girl line has since inspired other manufacturers to pursue this demographic. To this day, all American Girl dolls and accessories remain high-quality and intricately designed. Originally, Rowland's creations could only be purchased through mail order catalogues. Since then, however, American Girl doll stores have been opened in several major cities across the United States. Additionally, the dolls are available for sale online.

Unfortunately, a few native plants—namely poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and poisonwood—can make these outings a miserable experience (Figure 1). All four contain urushiol, a plant oil that can cause a severe skin rash (dermatitis) when any part of the plant is contacted. Allergic reaction can occur directly by touching the plant or indirectly by coming into contact with the oil on animals, tools, clothes, shoes, or other items. Even the smoke from burning plants contains oil particles that can be inhaled and cause lung irritation. Figure 1. Poison ivy, poison oak, poison sumac, and poisonwood.

( TMZ; Kevin Mazur/Wire Image)Here is the first glimpse inside Beyoncé ’s glam private hospital room, a plush and sprawling suite fit for the Queen B. The freshly renovated “executive” digs at Lenox Hill Hospital look more like the top-dollar accommodations at five-star luxury hotels. With flatscreen TVs, lushly upholstered gray and cream sofas adorned with silken throw pillows, the room served as Beyoncé’s home away from home as she and hubby Jay-Z welcomed their daughter into the world. Born Saturday night at the E. 77th St. maternity ward, Blue Ivy Carter was introduced to the finest recovery room a baby could have. Baby Blue’s superstar parents paid up to $800 a night for the palatial fourth-floor roost, according to the hospital. The hip-hop royalty also booked adjacent rooms for their entourage. The kitchenette (l.) and sitting area in the maternity suite. ( TMZ)The handsomely appointed confines feature colorful abstract paintings, silver candlestick-shaped lamps, plus sleek chrome and Formica-top coffee tables topped with crystal candy bowls. The first photos of the room were posted Thursday by TMZ.com, which purchased them from an anonymous shutterbug, a source said. The entertainment website vouched that the room is where Beyoncé labored before giving birth to her little Capricorn and recovered until the family was discharged early Monday morning."

When Beyoncé was just a young kid, she used to charge houseguests $5 to watch her perform. Despite suffering an initial stage shyness, which led to the creation of her Sasha Fierce character, Beyoncé eventually confirmed what we all suspected, saying, “I felt at home on that stage, more so than anywhere else. ”From defying initial record-label expectations that her first album would flop, an album that had four hit singles including “Crazy In Love,” to now being so big that even a horse fly with a golden rear has been named after her, certainly nobody could tell Beyoncé these days that she doesn’t run the world.1. Pizza is Beyoncé’s “favorite indulgence. ”P-I-Z-Z-Bey! Sundays are Beyoncé’s “treat myself” day, and she revealed to ABC News in 2013 that this almost always involves pizza. Besides it being her self-described “favorite indulgence,” Beyoncé also was seen wearing a whole pizza-themed outfit in December 2013. Beyoncé and Jay Z went on a temporary vegan diet at the end of 2013, which probably made their Sunday Brooklyn pizza dates trickier."

Robert Stolarik for The New York Times The couple were visiting their twin daughters in the neonatal intensive care unit at Lenox Hill Hospital in Manhattan on Friday night, as they have done daily since the babies’ premature birth on Dec. 28. But when they tried to leave the sixth-floor unit to go home to Brooklyn at about 11 p.m., the new mother, Rozz Nash-Coulon, recalled, a burly security guard suddenly blocked their way. The familiar area outside the neonatal unit had been transformed: partitions had been put up, the maternity ward windows were completely covered, and even the hospitals’ security cameras had been taped over with paper. Guards with Secret Service-style earpieces roamed the floor. “We were told we could walk no further,” Ms. Nash-Coulon said Monday. And when she and her husband, Neil, demanded an explanation, she added, the guard claimed, unconvincingly, “ ‘Well, they’re handling hazardous materials,’ ” even as a large group of people screened from view were passing through the main hallway he had declared off-limits. It was just the first of a series of indignities that they and several other noncelebrity maternity patients say they experienced over the weekend, as Lenox Hill Hospital went all-out to protect the privacy of Beyoncé Knowles and Jay-Z, whose daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, was born there on Saturday. At one point, another father, Edgar Ramirez, 25, said, security guards kept him out of the neonatal unit for three hours while his wife and newborn were waiting for him."

This arrest set in motion a chain of events that made Nelson Mandela a household name around the world. It also eventually brought about the end of the South African political system, known as apartheid. Eventually Nelson Mandela became the president of South Africa, and he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 1993 -- one of the highest honors that human beings bestow upon each other. What was it that made his arrest so powerful? To understand the significance, you need to understand what happened both before and after that day. Nelson Mandela was born on July 18, 1918, near the South African town of Qunu. He lived a fairly prosperous life as a child, attending private schools and then college. He finished college while working as a law clerk in Johannesburg."

Mandela himself was educated at University College of Fort Hare and the University of Witwatersrand where he studied law. He joined the African National Congress in 1944 and was engaged in resistance against the ruling National Party's apartheid policies after 1948. He went on trial for treason in 1956-1961 and was acquitted in 1961. After the banning of the ANC in 1960, Nelson Mandela argued for the setting up of a military wing within the ANC. In June 1961, the ANC executive considered his proposal on the use of violent tactics and agreed that those members who wished to involve themselves in Mandela's campaign would not be stopped from doing so by the ANC. This led to the formation of Umkhonto we Sizwe. Mandela was arrested in 1962 and sentenced to five years' imprisonment with hard labour."

But perhaps her relationship with Peter could be credited for what appears to have been a change in her outlook over the past year. In an interview with the Evening Standard earlier this month, Naomie admitted that her stance on having children has changed - especially because she believes becoming a mother could also improve her acting ability.

REUTERS/Mike Hutchings MH/DBPShare World Mandela South Africa apartheid CIAOne of the great things about the late great Nelson Mandela is that he didn’t hold grudges. How else could he have accepted normal relations with the CIA, which tipped off the white-supremacy regime to his whereabouts in 1962? According to a 1990 Johannesburg Sunday Times newspaper account, a CIA agent by the name of Millard Shirley fingered Mandela for the apartheid regime’s secret police, allowing them to throw up a roadblock and capture him. “Shirley had a high-ranking ‘deep throat,’ a Durban-based Indian, within South African Communist party ranks,” Gerard Ludi, a retired senior South African intelligence agent told the paper.

Naturally, they ran a private security business. Then, in 1985, came the call from a secret South African government unit called Stratcom (Strategic Communications), whose function was to disrupt and destroy anti-apartheid groups, I reported for Salon.

He was the first black South African to hold the office, and the first elected in a fully representative, multiracial election. His government focused on dismantling the legacy of apartheid through tackling institutionalised racism, poverty and inequality, and fostering racial reconciliation. Politically an African nationalist and democratic socialist, he served as the President of the African National Congress from 1991 to 1997. Internationally, Mandela was the Secretary General of the Non-Aligned Movement from 1998 to 1999. A Xhosa born to the Thembu royal family, Mandela attended Fort Hare University and the University of Witwatersrand, where he studied law. Living in Johannesburg, he became involved in anti-colonial politics, joining the ANC and becoming a founding member of its Youth League. After the Afrikaner nationalists of the National Party came to power in 1948 and began implementing the policy of apartheid, he rose to prominence in the ANC's 1952 Defiance Campaign, was elected President of the Transvaal ANC Branch and oversaw the 1955 Congress of the People. Working as a lawyer, he was repeatedly arrested for seditious activities and, with the ANC leadership, was prosecuted in the Treason Trial from 1956 to 1961 but was found not guilty. Although initially committed to non-violent protest, in association with the South African Communist Party he co-founded the militant Umkhonto we Sizwe in 1961, leading a bombing campaign against government targets."

"text": "Remembrance Mandela in the Movies: 10 Films About Apartheid Hollywood's take ranges from Biblical epic to historical grandeur, but none has solved the trick of rendering Mandela as complex as he should be By Richard Corliss Dec. 06, 2013Read Later Titus Productions / Everett Collection Email Print Share Follow @TIMECulture A few weeks ago, the first black President of the United States saw a movie about the first black President of South Africa. Aside from that White House screening for Barack Obama, only four theaters are currently showing Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom, which goes into wider release on Christmas Day. So viewers curious to see how the movies have portrayed Nelson Mandela — the lawyer, outlaw and convict who compelled the Boer government to give equal rights to its black majority — must forage through Netflix or Amazon.com for older films. Perhaps no other historical figure could have seen his screen self played so favorably, and by such distinguished actors: Sidney Poitier, Morgan Freeman, Danny Glover, Terrence Howard, Idris Elba, Dennis Haysbert and, in a supporting role in the 2009 Endgame, Clarke Peters. In that TV movie, the main role, a member of the African National Congress negotiating Mandela’s release, is taken by Chiwetel Ejiofor, the star of 12 Years a Slave. The burden of Mandela movies is that almost all of them could be called 95 Years a Saint. They are modern versions of Old Hollywood’s Biblical epics that tiptoe reverently around the teachings and personality of Jesus. And unlike Martin Scorsese’s 1988 film in which the Savior questions his divinity, there has been no Last Temptation of Nelson. Not that we’re demanding a Mandela exposé movie, but nobody has yet solved the trick of making this remarkable figure as complex as a great movie character should be. So far, most of his biopics have lacked in behavioral complexity and cinematic vitality."

In the book’s introduction, curator Okwui Enwezor writes that the pictures in Rise and Fall of Apartheid are not presented as a history of apartheid but instead as an exploration of the specific role photography had in “shaping ... the portrait of the people of South Africa.” The book makes a massive sweep across the role of photography in capturing oppression in South Africa, beginning with the romanticization of \"\"the native\"\" in ethnographic portraiture that directly preceded the era of apartheid. Crowd near the Drill Hall on the opening day of the Treason Trial, Johannesburg, Dec. 19, 1956. Nelson Mandela and 155 others were arrested in a raid and tried for treason. In 1961, all 156 defendants were found not guilty."

The system was based on white supremacy and the repression of the nonwhite majority ( black Africans, coloureds and Asian South Africans) for the benefit of the politically and economically dominant Afrikaners and other White South Africans. Apartheid legislation was repealed in 1991, [1] and a non-racial government was established following national elections in 1994. The economic legacy and effects of apartheid continue to this day. [ 2]Broadly speaking, apartheid was delineated into petty apartheid, which entailed the segregation of public facilities and social events, and grand apartheid, which dictated housing and employment opportunities by race. [ 3] Prior to the 1940s, some aspects of apartheid had already emerged in the form of minority rule by white South Africans and the socially enforced separation of black South Africans from other races, which later extended to pass laws and land apportionment. [ 4] [5] Apartheid was adopted as a formal policy by the South African government after the ascension of the National Party (NP) during the country's 1948 general elections. ["

"text": "\"The life and times of Mandela The early years The political journey The prison years\"\"Nelson Mandela is a universal symbol of freedom and reconciliation, an icon representing the triumph of the human spirit. \"\" Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela became known and respected all over the world as a symbol of the struggle against apartheid and all forms of racism; the icon and the hero of African liberation. Mandela or Madiba, as he was affectionately known, has been called a freedom fighter, a great man, South Africa's Favourite Son, a global icon and a living legend, among countless other names. He has been an activist, a political prisoner, South Africa's first democratically elected president, an international peacemaker and statesman, and a Nobel Peace Prize winner. As a husband and a father, Mandela sacrificed the joys of family life and of seeing his children grow up. As a young man, he missed out on a normal life spent with family and friends and pursuing a career of his choice, to fight for the cause he unshakably stood for. Most ordinary South Africans knew little about Mandela during his prison years, as the apartheid government suppressed information, and what was released was biased. Limited information about Mandela was available from the international press, anti-apartheid activist groups and the Free Nelson Mandela campaign. But prison bars could not prevent him from continuing to inspire his people to struggle and sacrifice for their liberation. Public opinion polls repeatedly showed that he was the most popular leader the country has ever had."

Left to right: Thomas Mapike, Rev Walter Rubusana, Rev John Dube, Saul Msane, Sol Plaatje. As a resistance movement, the ANC was predated by a number of black resistance movements, among them Umkosi Wezintaba, formed in South Africa between 1890 and 1920. [ 1]The organisation was initially founded as the South African Native National Congress (SANNC) on 8 January 1912 by Saul Msane (Esq. ), Josiah Gumede, John Dube, Pixley ka Isaka Seme and Sol Plaatje along with chiefs, people's representatives, and church organisations, and other prominent individuals to bring all Africans together as one people to defend their rights and freedoms, in Bloemfontein, with the aim of fighting for the rights of black South Africans. The organization was renamed the ANC in 1923. The organisation, from its inception represented both traditional and modern elements, from tribal chiefs to church and community bodies and educated black professionals, though women were only admitted as affiliate members from 1931 and as full members in 1943. The formation of the ANC Youth League in 1944 by Anton Lembede heralded a new generation committed to building non-violent mass action against the legal underpinnings of the white minority's supremacy. In 1946 the ANC allied with the South African Communist Party in assisting in the formation of the South African Mine Workers' Union."

"text": "Published by the Christmas Behind Bars With Nelson Mandela: Recollections of Younger Anti-apartheid Activist Saths Cooper By Judy Kuriansky, Ph. D. The opening of the biopic Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom on Christmas Day in America was an appropriately timed gift, given the film’s message about faith in one’s belief, overcoming injustice and choosing love over hate. The “must-see” film powerfully chronicles stages in the life of Nelson Mandela, the South African anti-apartheid activist and political protester-turned-president and Nobel Peace Prize winner. Given the timing of the film’s release, it’s of interest to know what Mandela did on those Christmas holidays behind bars. Insight comes from a fellow prisoner and younger South African freedom fighter, Saths Cooper, a colleague and friend of mine. Now a noted psychologist and president of the International Union of Psychological Science, he graciously shared recollections to fill in details about that historical time. Cooper was incarcerated in the same cellblock as Nelson Mandela in the notorious Robben Island Maximum Security Prison off the coast of Cape Town, from 1977-1982. Daily life spelled hard labor, crude cells, endless restrictions, bad food and abuse from prison officials. But Christmas offered some relief, “for the camaraderie, mutual sharing and lighter spirit that abounded,” Cooper says. “ We tended to feel the burden of imprisonment a little less and there was something akin to cheer that we allowed to envelop us."

"text": "Why, exactly, are we surprised? Up until Russian President Vladimir Putin seized the Crimean peninsula, a large swath of the commentariat seemed to think that such an action in this day and age was unthinkable. Then, when President Obama warned Putin against military intervention, it seemed all but inevitable. This was not cynicism or defeatism or a reflection on other red lines. Rather, it was the simple realization that there was little to be done to deter a Russian invasion of Ukraine, should Putin choose to do so. Russia has air and ground forces arrayed along the 1,500-mile northern and eastern borders of Ukraine — to say nothing of its Black Sea Fleet birthed at the Ukrainian port of Sebastopol. The question was only whether he would choose to do so. As Americans, we tend to view world events through rose colored glasses, and so we did as the Ukraine crisis escalated. We cheer on the toppling of autocrats and the birth of nascent democracies, and we frame events through a Manichaean lens of good and evil, of ‘good guys’ and ‘bad guys. ’Our good guy/bad guy rubric is not consistent, however."

ACTION: Interim final rule with request for comments. SUMMARY: The Department of Homeland Security (Department or DHS) has established the United States Visitor and Immigrant Status Indicator Technology Program (US-VISIT) in accordance with several Congressional mandates requiring that the Department create an integrated, automated entry exit system that records the arrival and departure of aliens; that equipment be deployed at all ports of entry to allow for the verification of aliens' identities and the authentication of their travel documents through the comparison of biometric identifiers; and that the entry exit system record alien arrival and departure information from these biometrically authenticated documents. This rule provides that the Secretary of Homeland Security or his delegate may require aliens to provide fingerprints, photographs or other biometric identifiers upon arrival in or departure from the United States. The arrival and departure provisions are authorized by sections 214, 215 and 235 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA). The Department will apply this rule's requirements only to aliens seeking to be admitted pursuant to a nonimmigrant visa who travel through designated air and sea ports. The rule exempts: aliens admitted on A-1, A-2, C-3 (except for attendants, servants or personal employees of accredited officials), G-1, G-2, G-3, G-4, NATO-1, NATO-2, NATO-3, NATO-4, NATO-5 or NATO-6 visas, unless the Secretary of State and the Secretary of Homeland Security jointly determine that a class of such aliens should be subject t o the rule; children under the age of 14; persons over the age of 79; classes of aliens the Secretary of Homeland Security and the Secretary of State jointly determine shall be exempt; and an individual alien the Secretary of Homeland Security, the Secretary of State, or the Director of Central Intelligence determines shall be exempt. AFederal Register notice identifying the air and sea ports where biometrics may be collected at time of entry and departure has been published simultaneously with this rule. This rule authorizes the Secretary to establish pilot programs for the collection of biometric information at time of departure and at a limited number of ports of entry, to be identified through notice in the Federal Register . The biometrics provided by the aliens will be entered into the automated identification system (IDENT) system, which will be integrated with the entry exit system component of US-VISIT."

Attestations for Akronym in German are known from 1921, and for acronym in English from 1940. [ 1]Although the word acronym is often used to refer to any abbreviation formed from initial letters, [2] some dictionaries and usage commentators define acronym to mean an abbreviation that is pronounced as a word, [18] in contrast to an initialism (or alphabetism )—an abbreviation formed from a string of initials (and possibly pronounced as individual letters). [ 19] Some dictionaries include additional senses equating acronym with initialism. ["

US Governmentby Kennedy Hickman Updated April 26, 2017The Battle of Tora Bora was fought December 12-17, 2001, during the War in Afghanistan (2001-2014). Commanders Coalition General Tommy Franks General Bismillah Khan Mohammadi Taliban/al-Qaeda Osama bin Laden Battle of Tora Bora Overview In the weeks following the attacks of September 11, 2001, Coalition forces commenced an invasion of Afghanistan with the goal of toppling the ruling Taliban and capturing Osama bin Laden. The first to enter the country were members of the Central Intelligence Agency's Special Activities Division and a variety of US Special Forces. These operators coordinated with local resistance groups and militia, such as the Northern Alliance, to conduct a ground campaign against the Taliban. By December, the Taliban and Al-Qaeda fighters had been forced to retreat into a cave system known as Tora Bora. Situated in the White Mountains, southeast of Kabul and near the Pakistani border, Tora Bora was believed to be an elaborate underground base, complete with hydroelectric power, barracks, and storage facilities. To assault this fortress, three militia leaders gathered around 2,500 men and a collection of old Russian tanks near the base of the mountains. Two of these leaders, Hazarat Ali and Hajji Zaman, were veterans of the war against the Soviets (1979-1989), while the third, Hajji Zahir, came from a notable Afghan family. In addition to facing bitter cold, the militia leaders were plagued by a dislike of one another and the fact that it was the holy month of Ramadan which required fasting from dawn to dusk."

They overran Manchuria and established it as a state, which they named Manchukuo. Moving into China, the Japanese were initially successful, but ultimately encountered the resistance of the Chinese, under the government Chiang Kai-shek. A crisis arose in 1937, when Japan launched a major offensive in an effort to reduce China into submission. When this tactic was unsuccessful, Japan adopted a policy of economic strangulation. By 1939, major coastal ports were seized and the Chinese capital was forced to move from Nanking to the inland area of Hankow. In 1940, the French allowed the entry of Japanese troops into Indochina."

Therefore, a more accurate question is, “How long was the attack on Pearl Harbor?”It began with the order to attack ( “Tora Tora Tora”) at 0753 hrs. By 0800 hrs the majority of US fighter planes were destroyed. They had been lined up on the airfields to prevent sabotage. The torpedo planes inflicted most of the initial damage to the ships at Pearl Harbor. The torpedo attack lasted about 11 minutes and was followed by bombers. It was a bomber in the first wave of the attack that hit the USS Arizona’s magazine causing the devastating explosion. The second wave of the attack arrived at 0840 hrs. There were 167 aircraft in the second wave, and no torpedo planes."

"text": "AFP/Getty Images The Account of How We Nearly Caught Osama bin Laden in 2001By Peter Bergen December 30, 2009Four days before the fall of Kabul in November 2001, Osama bin Laden was still in town. The Al Qaeda leader’s movements before and after September 11 are difficult to trace precisely, but, just prior to the attacks, we know that he appeared in Kandahar and urged his followers to evacuate to safer locations in anticipation of U. S. retaliation. Then, on November 8, he was in Kabul, despite the fact that U. S. forces and their Afghan allies were closing in on the city. That morning, while eating a meal of meat and olives, he gave an interview to Hamid Mir, a Pakistani journalist who was writing his biography. He defended the attacks on New York and Washington, saying, “America and its allies are massacring us in Palestine, Chechnya, Kashmir, and Iraq. The Muslims have the right to attack America in reprisal.” Six months later, when I met Mir in Pakistan, he told me that the Al Qaeda leader had, on that day, appeared to be in remarkably good spirits. Kabul fell on November 12, and bin Laden, along with other Al Qaeda leaders, fled to Jalalabad, a compact city in eastern Afghanistan surrounded by lush fruit groves. ( He was quite familiar with the area, having maintained a compound in a Jalalabad suburb in the 1990s.) Tracking bin Laden closely was Gary Berntsen, a bear-sized CIA officer with a pronounced Long Island accent, who arrived in Kabul on the day it fell."

Children were disproportionately affected by the intensifying conflict in Afghanistan. The number of child casualties verified by the United Nations has risen by 14 per cent since 2014 and reached the highest number ever recorded. One in four civilian casualties in 2015 was a child. The number of verified cases of recruitment and use of children more than doubled compared with 2014. A total of 116 cases (115 boys, 1 girl) were documented during the reporting period, of which 48 were verified. Thirteen verified recruitment cases were attributed to the Afghan National Defence and Security Forces: five to the Afghan Local Police five to the Afghan National Police and three to the Afghan National Army. The majority of verified cases were attributed to the Taliban (20) and other armed groups (15). The Taliban continued to recruit children for combat and suicide attacks.

"text": "By George Friedman There has been tremendous controversy over the U. S. invasion of Iraq, which consistently has been contrasted with Afghanistan. Many of those who opposed the Iraq war have supported the war in Afghanistan; indeed, they have argued that among the problems with Iraq is that it diverts resources from Afghanistan. Afghanistan has been seen as an obvious haven for terrorism. This has meant the war in Afghanistan often has been perceived as having a direct effect on al Qaeda and on the ability of radical Islamists to threaten the United States, while Iraq has been seen as unrelated to the main war. Supporters of the war in Iraq support the war in Afghanistan. Opponents of the war in Iraq also support Afghanistan. If there is a good war in our time, Afghanistan is it. It is also a war that is in trouble. In the eyes of many, one of the Afghan war's virtues has been that NATO has participated as an entity. But NATO has come under heavy criticism from U. S. Defense Secretary Robert Gates for its performance."

S. special missions units primarily focused on the counter-terrorism mission. SFOD-Delta has been through a few name changes over the years, and even though it will likely always be known as SFOD–Delta, it was recently renamed the Combat Applications Group (CAG) and is now officially known as Army Compartmented Elements (ACE). Though Delta Force is primarily a tier-one counter-terrorist unit, specifically directed to kill or capture high value units (HVU) or dismantle terrorist cells, Delta Force remains extremely flexible and can engage in direct action missions, hostage rescues, and covert missions working directly with the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as high ranking protective services of our senior leaders during visits in war torn countries. Delta is under operational control of the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC) though administratively supported by the Army Special Operations Command (USASOC). Delta Force History Compared to our nation's military history, Delta is relatively young, having been formed in 1977 by its first commander, Colonel Charles Beckwith. With the growing threat of terrorism around the world, Beckwith saw a need for a precision strike force within the Army after working with the British Special Air Service (SAS) in the early 1970's. Beckwith was tasked to form the new unit and pulled largely from the Special Forces Groups. The type of missions the SFOD-Delta has been involved with over the past few decades are classified but some have been de-classified and noted publicly in media reports and books written by Delta Operators. Here is a list of several of the declassified engagements: Operation Eagle Claw - In 1980, during the Iran Hostage Crisis a failed attempt at a rescue due to aviation equipment/operator error led to the death of eight Americans;as a result the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment was created. Operation Urgent Fury - Grenada prisoner rescue from the Richmond Hill prison."

Pax - CPersiphone_Hellecat · 1 decade ago3 5 Comment It was World War II that ended the Depression once and for all. During the 8 years of the New Deal, the national economy grew by about 4% a year, while during the 6 years of America's pre-war and wartime production, the economy grew by an average of about 11% a year. The Depression hit in 1929, with unemployment around 25% in 1930. Economic production and employment had almost risen to early 1929 levels by 1937, but then a major recession hit, causing unemployment to rise again sharply. The recession lasted until wartime production began in 1939, in anticipation that isolationist America would soon have no choice but to assist the Allies or face a Eurasian landmass under fascist control. Once America's involvement in World War II began in 1942, employment reached pre-Depression levels, and production exploded past pre-Depression levels, into an unprecedented level. The New Deal balanced the competing interests that had destabilized the economy, and slowly recovered lost ground, but it was World War II that really put the American people back to work, and set the groundwork for creating the economic giant that America has been ever since.

"text": "\"Volume 23, Issue 3 September 1997 Pages 130Female Circumcision: Rite of Passage Or Violation of Rights? Frances A. Althaus, Guttmacher Institute First published online: September 2, 1997Female circumcision, the partial or total cutting away of the external female genitalia, has been practiced for centuries in parts of Africa, generally as one element of a rite of passage preparing young girls for womanhood and marriage. Often performed without anesthetic under septic conditions by lay practitioners with little or no knowledge of human anatomy or medicine, female circumcision can cause death or permanent health problems as well as severe pain. Despite these grave risks, its practitioners look on it as an integral part of their cultural and ethnic identity, and some perceive it as a religious obligation. Opponents of female genital cutting, however, emphasize that the practice is detrimental to women's health and well-being. Some consider female circumcision a ritualized form of child abuse and violence against women, a violation of human rights. The debate over female circumcision is relatively recent. The practice was rarely spoken of in Africa and little known in the West until the second half of this century. In the 1950s and 1960s, however, African activists and medical practitioners brought the health consequences of female circumcision to the attention of international organizations such as the United Nations and the World Health Organization (WHO). Still, it was not until 1979 that any formal policy statement was made: A seminar organized by WHO in Khartoum to address traditional practices affecting the health of women and children issued recommendations that governments work to eliminate the p ractice."

"text": "Common questions regarding Sex reassignment surgery (SRS)Question 1: How long do I need to dilate after surgery? Is it for life? Dr. Chettawut recommends patients to keep the dilation routine schedule every day for 2 years in order to maintain original depth. The dilation will be for life but the frequency of dilation time can be adjusted for 2-3 times per week after 2 years. Question 2: What is the difference between Dr. Chettawut’s SRS technique and the other surgeons in Thailand and what are the advantages of his technique? Each surgeon has developed their own technique and we do not know the details of each surgeon’s technique. For Dr. Chettawut’s SRS technique, we can assure that our SRS patients will receive excellent sensation, natural aesthetics for all genital structures and maximum depth of vagina. All Standard SRS (Sex reassignment surgery) will be performed by penile NON inversion technique which means Dr. Chettawut do not intend to use the valued penile and prepuce skin to be inverted inside the vagina in order to be the skin lining of the vaginal wall. In contrary, the penile and prepuce skin will be utilized mainly for the aesthetically sensate inner labia (like a lip in a biological female) as well as a good formed vaginal opening. Dr. Chettawut explains that with his SRS technique, all of his SRS patients will always be able to achieve special female erotic sensations as well as being able to naturally experience orgasm (climax)."

"text": "Just a harmless snip?100+ circumcision deaths each year in United States Each year in the United States more than 100 newborn baby boys die as a result of circumcision and circumcision complications. This is the alarming conclusion of a study, published in the Journal of Boyhood Studies which examined hospital discharge and mortality statistics in order to answer two questions: (1) How many baby boys dies as a result of circumcision in the neonatal period (within 28 days of birth)? ( 2) Why are so few of these deaths officially recorded as due to circumcision? The study, by researcher Dan Bollinger, concluded that approximately 117 neonatal deaths due directly or indirectly to circumcision occur annually in the United States, or one out of every 77 male neonatal deaths. This compares with 44 neonatal deaths from suffocation, 8 in automobile accidents and 115 from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, all of which losses have aroused deep concern among child health authorities and stimulated special programs to reduce mortality. ( Remember those red noses?) Why, the study asks, has the even greater number of deaths from circumcision not aroused the same response? Part of the answer lies in the fact that most circumcision-related deaths are not officially as recorded as due to circumcision at all, but to the immediate cause, most commonly stroke, bleeding, infection or reactions to anaesthesia. Medical statistics are thus at fault in that they do not give the true cause of death at all. Previous studies have given wildly varying estimates the death toll from circumcision."

This has been the majority rule since the days of the Talmud. Judaism generally recognizes that Christians and Moslems worship the same G-d that we do and those who follow the tenets of their religions can be considered righteous in the eyes of G-d. Contrary to popular belief, Judaism does not maintain that Jews are better than other people. Although we refer to ourselves as G-d's chosen people, we do not believe that G-d chose the Jews because of any inherent superiority. According to the Talmud (Avodah Zarah 2b), G-d offered the Torah to all the nations of the earth, and the Jews were the only ones who accepted it. The story goes on to say that the Jews were offered the Torah last, and accepted it only because G-d held a mountain over their heads! ( In Ex. 19:17, the words generally translated as \"\"at the foot of the mountain\"\" literally mean \"\"underneath the mountain\"\"!) Another traditional story suggests that G-d chose the Jewish nation because they were the lowliest of nations, and their success would be attributed to G-d's might rather than their own ability."

Abstract: Beginning with the development of the embryo, the structure of human genitalia is described. The male foreskin has three important physiological functions that circumcision irreversibly destroys. The Gomco clamp and Plastibell circumcision devices and procedures are compared, and religious circumcision procedures are explained. Examination of the risks and alleged benefits of newborn circumcision will include a discussion of immediate and long-term complications, indications and contraindications, and alternative procedures. The question is raised: Do physicians who circumcise babies honor the first maxim of medical practice, \"\"Primum non nocere\"\" (First, do no harm)? False claims The history of circumcision in the United States is filled with excuses for doing circumcisions. First it was alleged that circumcision prevented masturbation, and that masturbation caused insanity. We now know that this idea is incorrect. More recently, it was claimed that circumcision reduces the risk of cancer of the female cervix."

"text": "\"circumcision In Judaism, the ritual of circumcision ( brit milah) is performed on the eighth day of a boy's life. The ritual usually takes place in the morning at the family's home. ( There is no parallel practice for girls, and \"\"female circumcision\"\" has nothing to do with Judaism. ) Circumcision is commanded in Genesis 17:10-14, which is in the narrative arc of Abraham, as an outward sign of a man's participation in Israel's covenant with the God of Israel, as well as a sign that the Jewish people will perpetuate through him. According to Jewish beliefs, the commandment is incumbent upon both father and child - fathers must see that their sons are circumcised, and uncircumcised grown men are obligated to perform the rite. Those who are not circumcised suffer the penalty of kareit, no matter how otherwise observant they may be. Perhaps in part for this reason, circumcision is the mitzvah most likely to be observed by otherwise non-observant Jews. Circumcision is so important that it may be performed on the Sabbath or another of the Jewish holidays, despite prohibitions of drawing blood on those days. Yet the ceremony may be postponed for health reasons, and then it cannot be performed until seven days after a physician has declared the child healthy. If this occurs, the rite cannot be performed on the Sabbath or holiday, because there is no longer sufficient reason to violate the general law of the holy days."

Firstly: We ask Allaah to bless your new baby for you and to make him among the righteous and pious so that he will weigh in the balance of your good deeds, because it was reported that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “When the son of Adam dies, all his good deeds come to an end, apart from three: sadaqah jaariyah (ongoing charity, such as a waqf or endowment), beneficial knowledge, and a righteous son who will pray for him.” ( Narrated by Muslim, 1631). Secondly: There is no action prescribed in sharee’ah for preparing to welcome a new baby a day or two before he is born, as far as we know. But one can recite general du’aa’s, such as praying for the newborn to be safe and sound, to be guided, and so on. Allaah mentioned in His Book the prayer of the righteous woman, the wife of ‘Imraan, who said (interpretation of the meaning):“ (Remember) when the wife of ‘Imraan said: ‘O my Lord! I have vowed to You what (the child that) is in my womb to be dedicated for Your services (free from all worldly work; to serve Your place of worship), so accept this from me.

Flag How much does both child and adult circumcision cost in Rhode Island? Edit Answer by Katie3329 Confidence votes 2.5KChild circumcision is more expensive since it usually requires general anesthesia. Children will not sit still while needles are injected into the penis and while the doctor cuts of the foreskin off the penis, and so the usual practice is to perform the surgery under general anesthesia, that is with the child asleep. Circumcision is not recommended because it has no known medical benefits, and as a number of serious medical risks including prolonged bleeding, infection, severe pain, and surgical error that can result in damage to the penis. There are also risks of brain damage, injury, and death from complications of the circumcision and from complications of the general anesthesia. For these reasons most physicians recommend against circumcision. Circumcision is not covered by health insurance since it is not a necessary medical procedure. For a child it will cost between $2,000 and $3,000. For an adult, it will cost between $500 and $1,000."

Myth – Circumcision is just a little snip. Fact – Surgical removal of the foreskin involves immobilizing the baby by strapping him face-up onto a molded plastic board. In one common method, the doctor then inserts a metal instrument under the foreskin to forcibly separate it from the glans, slits the foreskin, and inserts a circumcision device. The foreskin is crushed and then cut off."

This is a traditional Jewish ceremony, in which a man’s foreskin is removed, as a sign of the covenant between him and his Creator. If your foreskin was removed in the past, not in a Jewish-halachic context, or you were born without a foreskin, you will instead have a hatafat dam brit. The significance of brit milah The source for brit milah is the biblical commandment for Abraham to circumcise his son, Isaac and all male offspring throughout the generations. The Jewish people continued to observe this commandment for thousands of years in all lands of their exile. Over time, circumcision has become a most profound symbol of the connection between the Jewish people and their God, a physical sign attesting to a covenant of the heart. Jews throughout history risked their lives to perform this commandment, since it symbolized for them the distinctiveness of the Jewish people. The commandment of circumcision is incumbent upon Jewish babies on the eighth day after birth, and on converts as part of their conversion process. The first documented circumcision in the Torah, of the patriarch Abraham, was performed when Abraham was already an old man: “And Abraham was ninety nine years old when he was circumcised in the flesh of the foreskin (Genesis 17:24).” When a baby is circumcised, his parents or guardians decide for him to have him enter into the covenant."

It's usually performed on a newborn boy before he leaves the hospital, and often within the first 2 days of life. In the Jewish faith, it is performed in a special ceremony when a baby is 8 days old. Boys are born with a hood of skin, called the foreskin, covering the head (glans) of the penis. In circumcision, the foreskin is removed to expose the head of the penis. It's a quick procedure that causes very little bleeding and stitches aren't needed. Older boys can be circumcised, but the procedure is a bit more involved. After the circumcision, a protective bandage may be placed over the wound, which generally heals on its own within a week to 10 days. In the United States, many newborn males are circumcised. Circumcision is not medically required, but studies show that it lowers certain health risks."

The best preparation is to have considered them and decided beforehand what procedures you want or would rather decline for your newborn. For a hospital birth, there are numerous routine procedures which can be administered, delayed or even refused. Unfortunately, first time parents are often unaware that many of these routine procedures are not grounded in evidence-based practice, but are rather the product of ease and access for staff. Many parents don't realize the impact that these procedures can have on their newborn child. Once you have decided what procedures you prefer and whether you want them performed immediately or on a delayed schedule, the best way to communicate them to staff/caregivers is to include a Newborn Baby Care section in your birth plan. This will ensure that your preferences are on paper before the birth and remove any doubt as to your wishes for your new child after birth. Another critical point to remember is that you can and absolutely have the right to receive information about each and every procedure that will be performed, as well as the right to either request the procedure be performed in your room or that a parent/guardian accompany the newborn for each one. This includes weighing, measuring and the pediatrician's evaluation of the baby - in most instances all can be performed right there in the mother's room. Remember, your first responsibility is to the welfare of your child, not to the comfort of the hospital staff nor arbitrary hospital policies."

Since its adoption in 1791, the Bill of Rights has served as the cornerstone of basic American freedoms. Its laws specify the fundamental rights and most cherished liberties of the American people and protect them from the whims of popular majority opinions and abusive government officials. The Bill of Rights became part of the Constitution of the United States on December 15, 1791. On the 150th anniversary of this event in 1941, President Franklin Roosevelt proclaimed December 15 as Bill of Rights Day. He wanted to make Americans aware of their rights and to remind them of their duties as citizens of the United States. On this day in 1991, Americans recognized the 200th anniversary of these important amendments that have proved so essential to the American political tradition. Why the Bill of Rights Was Added to the Constitution At the Constitutional Convention of 1787, delegates rejected a motion made by George Mason, author of the Virginia Declaration of Rights (1776), to preface the Constitution of the United States with a bill of rights. The failure to mention basic rights soon became a major issue in the subsequent debates over whether or not the proposed Constitution would be ratified, or approved. When the Constitutional Convention ended, delegates went back to their respective states to hold their own ratifying conventions."

"text": "\"The Ratification of the Constitution Learning Objectives By the end of this section, you will be able to: Identify the steps required to ratify the Constitution Describe arguments the framers raised in support of a strong national government and counterpoints raised by the Anti-Federalists On September 17, 1787, the delegates to the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia voted to approve the document they had drafted over the course of many months. Some did not support it, but the majority did. Before it could become the law of the land, however, the Constitution faced another hurdle. It had to be ratified by the states. The Ratification Process Article VII, the final article of the Constitution, required that before the Constitution could become law and a new government could form, the document had to be ratified by nine of the thirteen states. Eleven days after the delegates at the Philadelphia convention approved it, copies of the Constitution were sent to each of the states, which were to hold ratifying conventions to either accept or reject it. This approach to ratification was an unusual one. Since the authority inherent in the Articles of Confederation and the Confederation Congress had rested on the consent of the states, changes to the nation’s government should also have been ratified by the state legislatures. Instead, by calling upon state legislatures to hold ratification conventions to approve the Constitution, the framers avoided asking the legislators to approve a document that would require them to give up a degree of their own power. The men attending the ratification conventions would be delegates elected by their neighbors to represent their interests."

The degree to which state constitutions specify these particulars of holding and governing a constitutional convention vary considerably from state-to-state. See also: Amending state constitutions and Constitutional convention Alabama See also: Article XVIII, Alabama Constitution If both chambers of the Alabama State Legislature agree by a simple majority vote, then a ballot question about whether to have a statewide constitutional convention can be placed on the ballot; if that question is approved by a majority of those voting in that election, then a constitutional convention will be called. With regard to how a convention should be governed, if one is called, Section 286 of Article XVIII provides minimal direction:...nothing herein contained shall be construed as restricting the jurisdiction and power of the convention, when duly assembled in pursuance of this section, to establish such ordinances and to do and perform such things as to the convention may seem necessary or proper for the purpose of altering, revising, or amending the existing Constitution. Alaska See also: Article XIII, Alaska Constitution Article 13 says that an automatic ballot referral to ask the voters of the state whether they wish to convene a statewide constitutional convention must be placed on the statewide ballot every ten years. Article 13 also allows the Alaska State Legislature to call constitutional conventions whenever they wish. Section 3 of Article XIII, with regard to how a convention would be governed, says in relevant part:...delegates to the convention shall be chosen at the next regular statewide election, unless the legislature provides for the election of the delegates at a special election. The lieutenant governor shall issue the call for the convention. Unless other provisions have been made by law, the call shall conform as nearly as possible to the act calling the Alaska Constitutional Convention of 1955, including, but not limited to, number of members, districts, election and certification of delegates, and submission and ratification of revisions and ordinances. The appropriation provisions of the call shall be self-executing and shall constitute a first claim on the state treasury."

"text": "\"The Constitutional Convention Unsuccessful Efforts to Amend the Articles Before giving up on the Articles of Confederation, there were several attempts to amend and improve them. In 1786, Charles Pinckney of South Carolina called for the Confederal Congress to revise the Articles so that the national government could better lead the nation. In response, the Congress appointed a committee for that purpose which drafted several amendments to the Articles. Most significantly, the proposed amendments would have given the Congress the exclusive authority to regulate interstate commerce. They would have further empowered the Congress to punish members for poor attendance at legislative sessions. The amendments, however, were rejected and the governmental structure established by the Articles remained unaltered. As problems between debtors and creditors and interstate trade became more serious (see \"\"Transition to Self Rule\"\"), however, calls for revising the Articles grew louder. In February of 1787, the Confederal Congress called for a convention to be held in May of that same year at Philadelphia. While the Confederal Congress explicitly endorsed the convention for the \"\"sole purpose of proposing amendments\"\" to the Articles of Confederation, it unwittingly set the stage for its own dissolution and the creation of an entirely new government for the young nation. The Constitutional Convention Twelve of the thirteen colonies (Rhode Island refused to participate) appointed delegates to the convention."

Each state has its own constitution grounded in republican principles, and government consisting of executive, legislative, and judicial branches. [ 2]All states and their residents are represented in the federal Congress, a bicameral legislature consisting of the Senate and the House of Representatives. Each state is represented by two Senators, while Representatives are distributed among the states in proportion to the most recent constitutionally mandated decennial census. [ 3] Additionally, each state is entitled to select a number of electors to vote in the Electoral College, the body that elects the President of the United States, equal to the total of Representatives and Senators in Congress from that state.

"text": "\"Peter Michael, works at Michael Strategic Analysis Answered Dec 6, 2015 · Author has 55 answers and 57.9k answer views There were many issues but the most critical were the two main weaknesses of the first constitution, the Articles of Confederation: the complete inability of the federal government to fund itself, and the requirement of unanimous agreement among the states to amend the Articles. Both of these flaws severely crimped the first government and were evident from its first month in existence, November of 1781, when President John Hanson put forth a bill to permit the government to amend the Articles to permit levying a five percent import duty to fund itself. The measure passed the United States in Congress Assembled (as the first government was named in the Articles) and the legislatures of 12 of the 13 states, but Rhode Island's negative vote on the amendment prevented the required unanimity and the measure thus failed. The result was that the government had to go hat in hand to the states requesting requisitions which were mostly never forthcoming. To its everlasting credit, the first government deliberately put itself out of business by convening the Constitutional Convention to create the stronger replacement government which the United States has had since 1789.

On May 29, 1765, he introduced seven radical resolutions in the Virginia House of Burgesses. Five of the seven resolutions were adopted on May 30, though one was reconsidered the next day (after Henry's departure) and removed. In May 1774, a message from the Massachusetts Committee of Correspondence informed Virginians of the closing of the port of Boston. The Virginia House of Burgesses set aside June 1, 1774, as a day of \"\"Fasting, Humiliation, and Prayer\"\" in support of the citizens of Boston. Governor Dunmore dissolved the assembly, but 89 of the Burgesses gathered at the Raleigh Tavern and, under Henry's leadership, proposed that all the colonies meet in a Continental congress. In 1775, Henry learned that Governor Dunmore had seized gunpowder from the Magazine in Williamsburg on April 20."

Constitution Bill of Rights Freedom George Mason: Father of the Bill of Rights Without the Bill of Rights, the Constitution might have restrained nothingby Raymond Polin Dr. Polin is Professor of Government and Politics in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of St. John’s University (New York). His latest work, Modern Government and Constitutionalism (Chicago: Nelson-Hall, 1979), includes attention to concepts of limited government and stability, his principal area of academic interest. His current research deals with the roots of the Declaration of Independence. Thomas Jefferson has been justly honored, in the main, as the author of the Declaration of Independence, one of three accomplishments that he chose to be inscribed on his tombstone: “Here was buried Thomas Jefferson, author of the Declaration of American Independence, of the Statute of Virginia for religious freedom, and father of the University of Virginia. ”It is indicative of the priority of values held by Jefferson that he asked to be remembered in finality by a legacy of principles of freedom and an institution of higher education. No mention was made by him that he had attained the very highest political offices of his state and nation: Governor of Virginia, Secretary of State of the United States, and successively Vice-President and President of the United States. But how much credit is justly due Jefferson for composing the Declaration? How original and how complete was his authorship of this document? Did he create or invent it, or did he copy, recall, or borrow in good part? Jefferson’s role as the author of the Declaration seems securely established and likely to endure."

Early years [ edit]The Colony of Virginia was founded by an English stock company, the Virginia Company, as a private venture, though under a royal charter. Early governors provided the stern leadership and harsh judgments required for the colony to survive its early difficulties. As early crises with famine, disease, Native American attempts to keep their good land, the need to establish cash crops, insufficient skilled or committed labor, the colony needed to attract enough new and responsible settlers if it were to grow and prosper. To encourage settlers to come to Virginia, in 1618–1619, the Virginia Company's leaders drew up a great charter. ["

Republican and Democratic party ballots in a Massachusetts polling location, 2016Sign for a polling station in Houston, Texas, 2016In the United States, Super Tuesday, in general, refers informally to one or more Tuesdays early in a United States presidential primary season when the greatest number of U. S. states hold primary elections and caucuses. More delegates to the presidential nominating conventions can be won on Super Tuesday than on any other single day of the primary calendar. Since Super Tuesday primaries and caucuses are typically held in a large number of states from geographically and socially diverse regions of the country, it typically represents a presidential candidate's first test of national electability. Thus, candidates seeking the presidency traditionally must do well on this day to help secure their party's nomination. In fact, convincing wins in Super Tuesday primaries have usually propelled candidates to their party's nomination. Super Tuesday is in either February or March of the presidential election year. During the 2016 election year, Super Tuesday was held on March 1."

Answer by Bcboy2291 Confidence votes 978Presidential candidates are self-declared, meaning they decide to run on there own. During primaries, many candidates from each party, Democratic and Republican, run for the nomination. Each one of the 50 states have either a Caucus or a primary election. In a primary election, people go to the polls and vote for the best candidate in the party they are registered for. If you are a registered republican then you vote for the best republican candidate and visa-versa. In a caucus, a group of democrats and a group of republicans from the state meet at a certain place in the state, usually a school, town center, or lecture hall. The groups are then spilt up into smaller groups for what candidate they support. When this is all done, a mediator counts the heads for each person in a group and the candidate with the most people in his or her group wins the nomination for that state. In the national election, each state votes on the first Tuesday in November."

Blank Archives / Getty Imagesby Jennifer Rosenberg Updated April 08, 2018The Woodstock Festival was a three-day concert (which rolled into a fourth day) that involved lots of sex, drugs, and rock 'n roll - plus a lot of mud. The Woodstock Music Festival of 1969 has become an icon of the 1960s hippie counterculture. Dates: August 15-18, 1969Location: Max Yasgur's dairy farm in the town of Bethel (outside of White Lake, New York)Also Known As: Woodstock Music Festival; An Aquarian Exposition: Three Days of Peace and Music The Organizers of Woodstock The organizers of the Woodstock Festival were four young men: John Roberts, Joel Rosenman, Artie Kornfeld, and Mike Lang. The oldest of the four was only 27 years old at the time of the Woodstock Festival. Roberts, an heir to a pharmaceutical fortune, and his friend Rosenman were looking for a way to use Roberts' money to invest in an idea that would make them even more money. After placing an ad in The New York Times that stated: \"\"Young men with unlimited capital looking for interesting, legitimate investment opportunities and business propositions,\"\" they met Kornfeld and Lang. The Plan for the Woodstock Festival Kornfeld and Lang's original proposal was to build a recording studio and a retreat for rock musicians up in Woodstock, New York (where Bob Dylan and other musicians already lived)."

Despite a relatively brief mainstream career spanning four years, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest and most influential electric guitarists in the history of popular music, and one of the most celebrated musicians of the 20th century. The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame describes him as “arguably the greatest instrumentalist in the history of rock music”. In the early years Hendrix played mostly cheaper guitar like the Epiphone Wilshire and Supro Ozark. Towards the mid 1960s he started using Fenders, starting with a 1959 Fender Duo-sonic which he played with Isley Brothers. In the summer of 1966 he bought his first Stratocaster with the help of his girlfriend, and it quickly became his signature guitar. His favorite guitar was a black 1968 Stratocaster with maple neck. Towards the later part of his career Hendrix started using different guitars, including some Gibson Flying Vs and Les Paul Customs. Hendrix played mostly right-handed models, even though he was left-handed – which played a role in the way his guitars ended up sounding, and left an overall impression on the listeners. Important to note is that the string placement was correct for a left hand player with the low E on top."

The lineup was formed in Boston, Massachusetts in 1970. guitar player Joe Perry and bassist Tom Hamilton, originally in a band together called the Jam Band, met up with singer Steven Tyler, drummer Joey Kramer, and guitarist Ray Tabano, and formed Aerosmith. In 1971, Tabano was replaced by Brad Whitford, and the band started developing a not long after in Boston. They were signed to Columbia Records in 1972, and gave us a string of multi-platinum albums, beginning with their 1973 eponymous debut album. In 1975, the lineup broke into the mainstream with the record Toys in the Attic, and their 1976 follow-up Rocks cemented their stature as hard rock superstars. By the end of the 1970s, they were among the most successful hard rock bands in the world and developed a loyal not long after of fans, often referred to as the “Blue Army”.

The saga commences with the narrator's encounter of a fellow traveler (\"\"Well, I came upon a child of God, he was walking along the road\"\") and concludes at their ultimate destination (\"\"by the time we got to Woodstock, we were half a million strong\"\"). There are also references to the Vietnam War (\"\"bombers riding shotgun in the sky...\"\") in combination with the peaceful intent of the festival goers (...turning into butterflies above our nation\"\").

"text": "Music1969The Altamont Festival brings the 1960s to a violent end Share this:facebook twitter google+Print Cite In August 1969, the massive, three-day Woodstock Music & Art Fair had proved that hundreds of thousands of young people could gather peacefully even in a seemingly chaotic environment rich with sex, drugs and rock and roll. Four months later, it would become clear that Woodstock owed its success not to the inherent peacefulness of the 1960s youth culture, but to the organizational acumen of the event's producers. That idea was proven in the violent, uncontrolled chaos of the disastrous Altamont Speedway Free Festival, held on this day in 1969 in the northern California hills 60 miles east of San Francisco. Altamont was the brainchild of the Rolling Stones, who hoped to cap off their U. S. tour in late 1969 with a concert that would be the West Coast equivalent of Woodstock, in both scale and spirit. Unlike Woodstock, however, which was the result of months of careful planning by a team of well-funded organizers, Altamont was a largely improvised affair that did not even have a definite venue arranged just days before the event. It was only on Thursday, December 4, 1969, that organizers settled on the Altamont Speedway location for a free concert that was by then scheduled to include Santana; the Jefferson Airplane; Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young; and the Grateful Dead, all in support of the headlining Stones. The event would also include, infamously, several dozen members the Hells Angels motorcycle gang acting as informal security staff in exchange for $500 worth of beer as a “gratuity. ”It was dark by the time the concert’s next-to-last act, the Grateful Dead, was scheduled to appear. But the Dead had left the venue entirely out of concern for their safety when they learned that Jefferson Airplane singer Marty Balin had been knocked unconscious by one of the Hells Angels in a melee during his band’s performance. It was during the Rolling Stones’ set, however, that a 21-year-old Hells Angel named Alan Passaro stabbed a gun-wielding 18-year-old named Meredith Hunter to death just 20 feet in front of the stage where Mick Jagger was performing “Under My Thumb.”"

Print Cite Did you know that the most famous song about Woodstock was written by someone who wasn't even there? Check out 10 surprising facts about this iconic event.1. Woodstock’s organizers originally wanted to build a studio, not host a concert. In fact, only one of the four men who threw the party of the century had any experience helming a music festival. Earlier that year, Florida-based promoter Michael Lang had organized a concert in Miami that drew 40,000—the largest concert in history up to that time. Lang’s friend Artie Kornfeld worked for Capitol Records, but had never worked on anything the size of Woodstock. Their partners had even less experience. John Roberts and Joel Rosenman were the Ivy League-educated sons of wealthy businessmen, and Roberts was the heir to a pharmaceutical fortune. The group came together when Roberts and Rosenman, looking for investment opportunities, agreed to back Lang and Kornfeld’s idea for a recording studio in Woodstock, New York, a popular arts community in New York’s Sullivan County that was home to musicians Bob Dylan, The Band, Jimi Hendrix and others."

Read Full Biography Overview Biography Discography Songs Credits Awards Related Share this pagefacebook twitter google+Artist Biography by Richie Unterberger In his brief four-year reign as a superstar, Jimi Hendrix expanded the vocabulary of the electric rock guitar more than anyone before or since. Hendrix was a master at coaxing all manner of unforeseen sonics from his instrument, often with innovative amplification experiments that produced astral-quality feedback and roaring distortion. His frequent hurricane blasts of noise and dazzling showmanship -- he could and would play behind his back and with his teeth and set his guitar on fire -- has sometimes obscured his considerable gifts as a songwriter, singer, and master of a gamut of blues, R&B, and rock styles. When Hendrix became an international superstar in 1967, it seemed as if he'd dropped out of a Martian spaceship, but in fact he'd served his apprenticeship the long, mundane way in numerous R&B acts on the chitlin circuit. During the early and mid-'60s, he worked with such R&B/soul greats as Little Richard, the Isley Brothers, and King Curtis as a backup guitarist. Occasionally, he recorded as a sessionman ( the Isley Brothers ' 1964 single \"\"Testify\"\" is the only one of these early tracks that offers even a glimpse of his future genius). But the stars didn't appreciate his show-stealing showmanship, and Hendrix was straitjacketed by sideman roles that didn't allow him to develop as a soloist. The logical step was for Hendrix to go out on his own, which he did in New York in the mid-'60s, playing with various musicians in local clubs, and joining white blues-rock singer John Hammond, Jr. 's band for a while. It was in a New York club that Hendrix was spotted by Animals bassist Chas Chandler."

The Inner Moons are named Cordelia, Ophelia, Bianca, Cressida, Desdemona, Juliet, Portia, Rosalind, Cupid, Belinda, Perdita, Puck and Mab. The Major Moons are named Miranda, Ariel, Umbriel, Titania and Oberon. The Irregular Moons are named Francisco, Caliban, Stephano, Trinculo, Sycorax, Margaret, Prospero, Setebos and Ferdinand. Some of these names may look familiar to you, a matter of fact, all of Uranus’s moons are named after characters from Alexander Pope and William Shakespeare works. Titania Uranus’s largest moon is Titania with a diameter of 1,577.8 km or 980 miles and a mass of 3.42 x 10 21 kg. This makes it the eighth largest moon in our solar system (less than half the size of Earth’s moon). Titania was discovered on January 11, 1787 by William Herschel."

The planet Neptune was mathematically predicted before it was directly observed. With a prediction by Urbain Le Verrier, telescopic observations confirming the existence of a major planet were made on the night of September 23–24, 1846, [1] at the Berlin Observatory, by astronomer Johann Gottfried Galle (assisted by Heinrich Louis d'Arrest ), working from Le Verrier's calculations. It was a sensational moment of 19th-century science, and dramatic confirmation of Newtonian gravitational theory. In François Arago 's apt phrase, Le Verrier had discovered a planet \"\"with the point of his pen\"\". In retrospect, after it was discovered, it turned out it had been observed many times before but not recognized, and there were others who made various calculations about its location which did not lead to its observation. By 1847, the planet Uranus had completed nearly one full orbit since its discovery by William Herschel in 1781, and astronomers had detected a series of irregularities in its path that could not be entirely explained by Newton's law of gravitation. These irregularities could, however, be resolved if the gravity of a farther, unknown planet were disturbing its path around the Sun. In 1845, astronomers Urbain Le Verrier in Paris and John Couch Adams in Cambridge separately began calculations to determine the nature and position of such a planet. Le Verrier's success also led to a tense international dispute over priority, because shortly after the discovery George Airy, at the time British Astronomer Royal, announced that Adams had also predicted the discovery of the planet.

Not only are these gas/ice giants magnificent to look at, they are also staggering in size, have their own system a rings, and many, many moons. Typically, when one speaks of gas (and/or ice) giants and their moons, one tends to think about Jupiter (which has the most, at 67 and counting!). But have you ever wondered how many moons Uranus has? Like all of the giant planets, it’s got rather a lot! In fact, astronomers can now account for 27 moons that are described as “Uranian”. Just like the other gas and ice giants, these moons are motley bunch that tell us much about the history of the Solar System. And, just like Jupiter and Saturn, the process of discovering these moons has been long and involved on multiple astronomers.

The planet can be very similar to Neptune because of the composition it has but they are two very different planets. This is going to be made up of helium and hydrogen – which are gases – but this is not a gas planet, it is considered to be an ice giant. The reason why is because it will have things such as hydrocarbons, methane, ammonia and water ice found in the surface. It will also have the coldest planet atmosphere in the Solar System. Uranus does have its own ring system as well as its own magnetosphere; along with a handful of moons. Though, the planet has their north and south poles at their equate line instead of where most others would find them. However in 1986, images brought back from a spacecraft passing the planet showed that the planet’s surface was almost featureless. This meant that it didn’t have cloud bands or storms clouding the planet that most other planets would have. It was very surprising news however but it does even have some season changes or at least there have been many signs over this."

If you were to identify planets in order of their size, the largest would be: Jupiter at 142,984 km at its equator,Saturn at 120,536 km Uranus is 51,118 km Neptune 49,532 km Earth 12,756 km Venus 12,103km Mars 6,794 km Mercury 4,880km The disparity may be understandable as Saturn and Jupiter are gas giants, while Uranus and Neptune are ice giants. The remaining planets are smaller becuase they are having solid rocky surfaces. The size of Jupiter is such that it could fit all the other planets inside it. Defining the order of the planets by their discovery date can be subjective. Bright planets like Venus have been observed since ancient times."

Voyager 2 targeted Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Like its sister spacecraft, Voyager 2 also was designed to find and study the edge of our solar system beyond the orbits of the planets. Accomplishments Voyager 2 has operated in space for more than 40 years as of Aug. 20, 2017. Overall Accomplishments Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets at close range. It is now exploring the outermost reaches of where the solar wind and the Sun's magnetic field dominate space. In September 2007, it crossed the termination shock (where the speed of the solar wind drops below the speed of sound) at 84 AU (about 13 billion km from the Sun, more than twice the distance to Pluto). Since then, Voyager 1 has been operating in the heliosheath environment, a region about 40 to 50 AU (3.7 billion to 4.7 billion km) thick where the solar wind mixes with the interstellar wind. Image Credit: NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory Jupiter Accomplishments During the Jupiter leg of its journey, Voyager 2 was to explore the giant planet, its magnetosphere and moons in greater detail than had the Pioneer spacecraft that preceded it."

Credit: NASA/JPLGuide to Space, Uranus The Planet Uranus Article written: 27 Aug , 2015 Updated: 6 Jul , 2016 by Matt Williams Uranus, which takes its name from the Greek God of the sky, is a gas giant and the seventh planet from our Sun. It is also the third largest planet in our Solar System, ranking behind Jupiter and Saturn. Like its fellow gas giants, it has many moons, a ring system, and is primarily composed of gases that are believed to surround a solid core. Though it can be seen with the naked eye, the realization that Uranus is a planet was a relatively recent one. Though there are indications that it was spotted several times over the course of the past two thousands years, it was not until the 18th century that it was recognized for what it was. Since that time, the full-extent of the planet’s moons, ring system, and mysterious nature have come to be known. Discovery and Naming: Like the five classic planets – Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter and Saturn – Uranus can be seen without the aid of a telescope. But due to its dimness and slow orbit, ancient astronomers believed it to be a star. The earliest known observation was performed by Hipparchos, who recorded it as a star in his star catalog in 128 BCE – observations which were later included in Ptolemy’s Almagest."

Why? The density of an object is its mass divided by its volume. Although the sizes of the Galilean moons have been known approximately for some time, their masses have not. The Voyager missions helped determine these masses and, therefore, their densities. In size, from largest to smallest, the correct order for the Galilean moons is: Ganymede, Callisto, Io, Europa.

Thereafter, if we hadn't reached a surface and could actually sink deeper into the atmospheres then we should find that the gravity might start to decrease.

As you read about each of these fascinating worlds, you will notice that many were discovered by a satellite called Voyager 2 . Because Uranus is so far away it is almost impossible to see its smaller moons from Earth. They could not be discovered until a satellite was sent in 1986 to explore Uranus close up.

Uranus rings may not be as extensive as Saturn’s but it is more complex compared to Jupiter’s and Neptune’s. The Uranus rings were first observed more than 2 centuries ago by British astronomer William Herschel. Modern scientists argue whether Herschel actually saw the rings using the available technology at the time because the rings of Uranus are very faint and dark. It was in 1977 that astronomers confirmed the existence of Uranus rings through the discovery of Edward Dunham, James Elliot and Douglas Mink. After more than a decade, two more rings were discovered by the Voyager 2 spacecraft. In 2003 and 2005, two more rings were observed by the Hubble Space Telescope. To date, there are 13 rings to Uranus. Unlike other ring systems that were given proper names, Greek letters were primarily used to name the rings of Uranus, particularly the main rings.ε ring (epsilon) – Is the brightest and the densest of the 13 rings of Uranus.

Neither did his lawyer. May 1, 2005 William Whalen And Bruce Martin 0 Comments ON APRIL 6, 1987, CINCINNATI POLICE charged Donald Harvey, a 35-year-old orderly at Daniel Drake Memorial Hospital, with the murder of John Powell. Powell was a patient in the Hamilton County–owned convalescent hospital, a 44-year-old who had sustained severe brain injuries in a motorcycle accident the preceding summer. Because of his condition, his death was not unexpected. But during a routine autopsy, forensic pathologist Dr. Lee D. Lehman caught a whiff—literally—of cyanide. Questioned by police, Harvey confessed to poisoning Powell. When attorney William Whalen was appointed as Harvey’s public defender, the press was already buzzing about the idea of a “mercy killing:’ But soon Whalen learned the truth: He was representing a serial killer of stunning scope. In this chapter of Defending Donald Harvey, co-authored by Whalen and Bruce Martin, the attorney details the role he played in the television news investigation that brought the crimes to light, and the risky strategy he pursued to keep his diabolical client from getting the death penalty. After police charged Donald Harvey with aggravated murder—the murder of John Powell—the story competed for space on the front page of The Cincinnati Enquirer with an account of the Reds’ Opening Day, and Harvey’s arraignment rated coverage on the local evening news."

"text": "The Tippit Murder: Why Conspiracy Theorists Can’t Tell the Truth about the Rosetta Stone of the Case Against Lee Harvey Oswaldby DALE K. MYERSFig.1. J. D. Tippit’s squad car at Tenth and Patton. ( NARA)They say you can’t judge a book by its cover, but I’ve come to believe that you can judge a Kennedy assassination book by its handling of the murder of Dallas police officer J. D. Tippit. Most of those familiar with the assassination story know that it was Tippit’s murder forty-five minutes after the assassination that led to the arrest of Lee Harvey Oswald. The Tippit murder has been called the Rosetta Stone, the linch-pin, the key to understanding who killed President Kennedy and yet it’s also one of the most overlooked aspects of the assassination – so much so, that few average Americans even know who Tippit is or why his death is such a significant part of our history. That’s one of the reasons I began researching the Tippit story in earnest in 1975 and why I wrote a book about it – With Malice: Lee Harvey Oswald and the Murder of Officer J. D. Tippit (Oak Cliff Press, 1998) – twenty some years later. So, when a new book about the Kennedy assassination comes out, I naturally take a look to see how the shooting of the Dallas police officer is handled. More often than not the true facts surrounding Tippit’s death are mangled beyond belief or it’s ignored altogether. It seems that some authors are so eager to expunge Oswald’s obvious culpability for Tippit’s death that passing off a pack of lies as truth isn’t beneath them. The most recent publication to offer enlightenment on the subject of the Tippit shooting is Hear No Evil: Social Constructivism and the Forensic Evidence in the Kennedy Assassination (Mary Ferrell Foundation Press, 2010) by Donald Byron Thomas, who assures us in a free to read 40-page chapter on the Tippit case that all is not as we’ve been told."

The 30-year-old may have performed the out-of-character stunt in a hurry as he was spotted quickly grabbing a to-go cup of iced coffee.

In large part due to the Supreme Court’s willingness to slowly but surely replace the Fourth Amendment ‘s “ probable cause ” requirement with “ officer’s safety “, the police now believe that they are entitled to give you “commands”, and that your failure to immediately comply with any such“commands” entitle them to tase you, club you, spray you, arrest you, and, successfully procure your criminal prosecution for some “resistance offense”, such as violation of Cal. Penal Code Section 148 (a) (1); “The Boot of the Police State.” This is not some left wing propaganda. This is today’s world in the United States. Because so many of today’s “ peace officers ” have actually been in “War Zones” for Uncle Sam ( Iraq and Afghanistan Wars), many of them think like they still are still in one. All too often today’s “peace officers” operate under the “rules of engagement” as if they were fighting a war.

REUTERSChinese archaeologists have discovered what they believe are the tombs of ancient workers who built the Terracotta Warriors mausoleum. Terracotta Warriors and Horses is actually the mausoleum of Qin Dynasty's Qin Shi Huang (221-210 BC), the first emperor of China. Why advertise with us Archaeologists at the Shaanxi Provincial Institute of Archaeology have discovered a total of 45 tombs about 5km from the mausoleum. The crypts were found with skeletal remains of people believed to have been buried in a coffin with their leg twisted. According to archaeologist, twisting leg of the dead before burying was a burial custom of the Qin Dynasty. \"\" The Terracotta Warriors and horses, as well as the other rare relics unearthed from the funerary pits next to the emperor's mausoleum, might have been made by the people interred in the 45 tombs,\"\" excavation leader Sun Weigang told the China Daily.

He became famous for unifying the warring states into what is now China, and for becoming the country's first emperor. He is remembered for instigating the building of the Great Wall of China, and the fanatical fear of death and an obsessive quest for the secret of immortality.

Others praise him as a peace-bringing political and legal unifier, who built roads to handle the standard distance between carriage wheels, and started the Great Wall; a reformer, who standardized coinage, weights and measures, and the written language.

Hulton Archive via Getty Imagesby Kallie Szczepanski Updated March 08, 2017\"\"Energy may be likened to the bending of a crossbow; decision, to the releasing of the trigger.\"\" - Sun Tzu, The Art of War, c. 5th century BCE. The invention of the crossbow revolutionized warfare, and the technology would spread from Asia through the Middle East and into Europe by the medieval period. In a sense, the crossbow democratized warfare - an archer did not need as much strength or skill to deliver a deadly bolt from a crossbow as he or she would have with a traditional compound bow and an arrow. The first crossbows were likely invented either in one of the states of early China or in neighboring areas of Central Asia, some time before 400 BCE. It's not clear exactly when the invention of this new, powerful weapon took place, or who first thought of it. Linguistic evidence points to a Central Asian origin, with the technology then spreading to China, but records from such an early period are too scanty to determine the origins of the crossbow beyond a doubt. Certainly, the famed military strategist Sun Tzu knew about crossbows."

Mycenae is an archaeological site in Greece from which the name Mycenaean Age is derived. Mycenae site is located in the Peloponnese, Southern Greece. The remains of a Mycenaean palace were found at this site, accounting for its importance. Other notable sites during the Mycenaean Age include Athens, Thebes, Pylos and Tiryns. According to Homer, the Mycenaean civilization is dedicated to King Agamemnon who led the Greeks in the Trojan War. The palace found at Mycenae matches Homer's description of Agamemnon's residence. The amount and quality of possessions found at the graves at the site provide an insight to the affluence and prosperity of the Mycenaean civilization. Prior to the Mycenaean's ascendancy in Greece, the Minoan culture was dominant. However, the Mycenaeans defeated the Minoans, acquiring the city of Troy in the process, according to Homer's Illiad (some historians argue this is Myth rather than fact)."

At one time the wall stretched from Shanhaiguan on China's east coast through a variety of terrains including mountains, plateaus and desert to Lop Nur in the North West of the country. Today a lot of that wall has disappeared but parts are still being rediscovered, its current length is approximately 4,500 miles. Although walls have existed in China since the 9th century BC, they were used extensively during the Warring States Period between the 5 th century and 221 BC, although it wasn’t until the unification of China by Qin Shi Huangdi, the First Emperor of China that the connection of the various walls was carried out to form a unified defensive system. Qin Shi Huangdiunified China not just politically but also economically by standardizing the Chinese units of measurements, the currency and the Chinese script. H e also developed an Irrigation System and an extensive network of roads and canals connecting the provinces in order to improve trade, and he carried out a major development of the Great Wall. The original wall was constructed mainly of rammed earth, the same methods are used in China today, posts would be placed in the ground, and planks would be positioned and held in place by the posts. Earth would then be placed between the planks and well compacted by pounding. Branches would be laid at stages as a layer as the wall was built up in order to act as a binder. The work force included soldiers, prisoners and peasants who were taken from all over the country and relocated where they would toil for the rest of their lives, millions died in the process and it is thought that one person died for every metre of length that the wall stretches, giving the wall the name of the long grave yard."

I graduated with honors and attended an Ivy League university and landed a prestigious job as soon as I finished. Basically, I had it all and life seemed pretty easy. Things got even better a few years later when I met the love of my life and we decided to marry. My wedding was straight out of a book, with my perfect bridesmaids and beautiful gown and sunny afternoon for an outdoor ceremony overlooking the beach. Little did I know that my perfect life and perfect plans and perfect pregnancy were only in my dreams For the first few years of our marriage, I continued to work full time and my husband, who had a great position, was then promoted to vice president of the company alongside an impressive raise. With his new salary, it seemed like the ideal time for us to try having a baby. We looked at the calendar, just like we did before setting our wedding date, and found what we thought would be the perfect time. We figured if we wanted to go to Hawaii in May, we would probably want to wait until June to get pregnant, then I would give birth sometime in March, spring time, ideal."

Different from the refined and distilled vinegars usually found in supermarkets, Natural Apple Cider Vinegar is made from fresh, crushed, organically grown apples and allowed to mature in wooden barrels, which boosts its natural fermentation qualities. When mature, it contains a web-like substance, called \"\"mother\"\" that becomes visible when the rich brownish liquid is held to the light. The mother can be used to add to other vinegar to hasten maturity for more Apple Cider Vinegar. [ BACK]2 - What is the nature of the Mother? The mother is the dark, cloudy substance in the ACV formed from naturally occurring pectin and apple residues - it appears as molecules of protein connected in strand-like chains. The presence of the mother shows that the best part of the apple has not been destroyed. Vinegars containing the mother contain enzymes and minerals that other vinegars may not contain due to overprocessing, filtration and overheating. [ BACK]3 - Why is ACV not pasteurized?"

Some people saw the \"\"due date\"\" like a deadline... if the baby hasn't arrived yet, it's late, it's time to freak out. Some people said due dates were a bad example of western intervention, used by doctors as an excuse to cut us all open. Some people said that first time moms should expect to go late, it's normal and you should chill out. I found some scattered statistics about what week babies came... and a lot of those graphs just said \"\"X% were born at 40 weeks\"\" but didn't explain what that meant (during the 40th week of pregnancy? 40 weeks accomplished? On day 280?). And trust me if you're pregnant, you start counting DAYS when that time comes around."

Plum pudding has never contained plums. The name Christmas pudding is first recorded in 1858 in a novel by Anthony Trollope. Why is Plum Pudding called Plum Pudding when there are no plums in it? In the 17th century, plums referred to raisins or other fruits. Plumb is another spelling of plum. Prune is actually derived from the same word as plum – the Latin word was pruna, which changed in the Germanic languages into pluma. But the terms were quite confused in the 16th and 17th centuries and people talked about growing prunes in their garden. ( 1) Defination of “plum” in the Oxford English Dictionary: A dried grape or raisin as used for puddings, cakes, etc. This use probably arose from the substitution of raisins for dried plums or prunes as an ingredient in plum-broth, porridge, etc.,"

Obviously, hiring an attorney skilled in Father’s Rights is of utmost importance, but if you don’t do the right thing, you will be hurting your chances even with a father’s rights attorney on your side. The main issues that you, as a father, will be presented with are: Child Custody, Child Visitation, and Child Support. Knowing how they work together is essential to knowing how to obtain your father’s rights the correct way. Child Custody Rights for Fathers Gone are the days where mom always wins custody of the kids—courts are now (finally) beginning to turn the corner and realize that a good parent does not always need to be a woman. With most of the workforce now being comprised of both men and women, it is no longer the case that a stay at home mom is needed to properly rear a child, and the courts have come out of the dark ages and realized this too, granting custody to men all the time. Fathers have the same right to physical custody as a mother does, and the case needs to be made to the court properly to show that custody with you is in the “best interests of the child.” This is the main threshold that most states require a showing of in order to award physical custody of a child to a parent. This means having a stable, clean home environment and avoiding the pitfalls that have destroyed many men’s custody battles."

"text": "IRS Announces a Delay in the Start of the 2014 Tax Season Payroll Article11/26/2013Due to the government shutdown that took place in October of this year, the 2014 federal income tax season is expected to be delayed, based on reports from the Internal Revenue Service. A delayed tax season can have an impact on many people including individual taxpayers, business owners, and tax preparers and advisors, and tax software developers. Why did the shutdown cause a delay in the next tax season? The Internal Revenue Service works throughout the year on a variety of tasks that go way beyond accepting and processing tax returns during the standard tax season that takes place between January and April each year. There are really two major tax seasons, the first with a majority of returns due April 15 th and the second with returns due October 15 th for those individual taxpayers filing for a six-month extension. In addition, there are multiple due dates for corporate filers, payroll taxes, estimated tax payments, and much more. The IRS also performs audits, and handles an enormous amount of correspondence to and from taxpayers, businesses, payroll services, tax services and the list goes on and on. During the fourth quarter of each year, the IRS has a large amount of work to do in preparation for the coming tax season primarily in the area of systems preparation including training, programming, and testing. Each year due to tax law changes, the systems must be updated and that includes 50 IRS systems. The IRS handles over 150 million tax returns on an annual basis."

The IRS states that 9 out of 10 e-filed tax returns with direct deposit will be processed within 21 days of IRS e-file acceptance.

"text": "Filing : Personal Tax Planning What Is An ITIN? All You Need To Know February 14, 2018 : Alison Flores ITIN stands for Individual Taxpayer Identification Number. The IRS issues Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers (ITINs) to people who need to file taxes, but who do not qualify for social security numbers. The IRS will also issue ITINs to dependents who can be claimed on a tax return, but who do not qualify for social security numbers. Who’s eligible for an ITIN? A lot of people, actually. Here are a few examples: Any nonresident that has a U. S. source of income would need an ITIN from the IRS to file their United States tax return, as required by law. This means that a Canadian citizen, who lives in Canada, but has rental property in the United States, must file a tax return, using an ITIN, to report their rental income and expenses on a nonresident tax return. U. S. taxpayers may be able to claim dependents that are citizens of other countries. For example, a couple in Michigan may provide support for elderly parents in Canada."

"text": "WMR and IRS2Go Status Differences – Return Received, Accepted or Under Review and Refund Approved versus Refund Sent139 comments On my post covering the IRS Refund Cycle Schedule I am seeing a lot of comments around the refund processing status’ on the IRS Where is My Refund (WMR) website or on the IRS2Go mobile app. Clearly there is a lot of confusion as people anxiously await their refunds and are unclear of how the IRS is processing their returns. In fact if you search tax forums one of the most common questions are around differences between the 3 WMR status trackers which are Return Accepted, Refund (Return) Approved and Refund Sent (with direct deposit date). The tracker is updated daily (~3AM EST) so there is no need to constantly check it. You can start using the WMR website or IRS2Go app to start checking on the status of your return 24 hours after the IRS receives your e-filed return or 4 weeks after you mail a paper return. As the IRS processes your return it will progress through the 3 stages: (1) Return Received, (2) Refund Approved and (3) Refund Sent. Here are more details on each status and what each one means: Status Bar 1: Return Received is the same as “Return Accepted by the IRS.” This means that your tax return has passed initial screens by the IRS covering rudimentary fraud checks, verifying your SSN and ensuring no obvious red flags on your return. Your tax return will remain in this status while the IRS processes it in more detail to ensure it is compliant and the refund amount is accurate. Your refund can remain in the status for a while if it is complex or the IRS feels further information is needed."

IRS Installment Agreements You can make monthly payments through an installment agreement if you’re not financially able to pay your tax debt immediately. However, you will reduce or eliminate the amount of penalties and interest you pay and avoid the fee associated with setting up an installment agreement if you pay your tax bill in full. The IRS Installment Agreement for In-Business Trust Fund Express Installment Agreements Small businesses who currently have employees can qualify for an In-Business Trust Fund Express Installment Agreement (IBTF-Express IA). These installment agreements generally do not require a financial statement or financial verification as part of the application process. The criteria to qualify for an IBTF-Express IA are: You owe $25,000 or less at the time the agreement is established. If you owe more than $25,000, you may pay down the liability before entering into the agreement in order to qualify. The debt must be full paid within 24-months or prior to the Collection Statute Expiration Date (CSED), whichever is earlier. You must enroll in a Direct Debit installment agreement (DDIA) if the amount you owe is between $10,000 and $25,000. You must be compliant with all filing and payment requirements."

The Quickest Way to Get Your Refund It is probably common knowledge that you will get your tax refund quicker when you choose the direct deposit option. You also should E-file your tax return if possible and as I mentioned in a post I wrote about getting free state tax filing you should submit it before a Friday, since they only process the E-filed returns once a week. Of course, if you don’t really care when you get your refund, take your good old time. When Will You Get Your Refund Check?1.

"text": "IR-2018-01, Jan. 04, 2018WASHINGTON ― The Internal Revenue Service announced today that the nation’s tax season will begin Monday, Jan. 29, 2018 and reminded taxpayers claiming certain tax credits that refunds won’t be available before late February. The IRS will begin accepting tax returns on Jan. 29, with nearly 155 million individual tax returns expected to be filed in 2018. The nation’s tax deadline will be April 17 this year – so taxpayers will have two additional days to file beyond April 15. Many software companies and tax professionals will be accepting tax returns before Jan. 29 and then will submit the returns when IRS systems open. Although the IRS will begin accepting both electronic and paper tax returns Jan. 29, paper returns will begin processing later in mid-February as system updates continue. The IRS strongly encourages people to file their tax returns electronically for faster refunds. The IRS set the Jan. 29 opening date to ensure the security and readiness of key tax processing systems in advance of the opening and to assess the potential impact of tax legislation on 2017 tax returns. The IRS reminds taxpayers that, by law, the IRS cannot issue refunds claiming the Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and the Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) before mid-February. While the IRS will process those returns when received, it cannot issue related refunds before mid-February. The IRS expects the earliest EITC/ACTC related refunds to be available in taxpayer bank accounts or on debit cards starting on Feb. 27, 2018, if they chose direct deposit and there are no other issues with the tax return."

The IRS generally receives over 140 million returns over the tax season. The IRS also recommends taxpayers who have yet to file explore the numerous online tools and resources available on IRS.gov, which taxpayers visited almost 160 million times so far this year. To date, the IRS has issued nearly 40 million refunds worth $120 billion, with the average refund worth $2,800. This is slightly more than than last year’s average refund at the same time. More than 96 percent of refunds have been paid through direct deposit directly into taxpayer accounts. The tax agency still estimates that 9 out of 10 refunds will go out within 21 days from when a return is filed. But paper filed returns may take up to 7 weeks this year (see the estimated 2015 IRS refund schedule)However there are a number of tax payers who have filed their taxes, but are still waiting to receive their refund. This is likely due to internal processing delays at the IRS, new health care legislation reporting or due to inaccurately filed returns (so double check before filing!). This article provides options on where to get details on your refund status or delay ."

Updated for Tax Year 2017OVERVIEWConverting your LLC to an S-Corp when filing your tax return can be a complicated process, but it is possible. Find out how it can be done. Converting your LLC to an S-Corp when filing your tax return can be a complicated process, but it is possible. You can submit the documents necessary to convert your LLC to an S-Corp for tax purposes along with your tax return. In some situations, your election to be taxed as an S-Corp might not be effective until the following tax year, so the rest of your tax return should reflect this fact if it applies. Also, filing with the IRS for treatment as an S-Corp does not change the fact that your business remains an LLC for all other purposes. S-Corp qualifications Before taking any action towards electing for S-Corp tax treatment by the IRS, the first step is to be sure your company can meet the S-Corp qualifying criteria. An S-Corp must have fewer than 100 owners. It must be a domestic company organized under the laws of one of the 50 states with no nonresident alien members, and none of the members can be other business entities except nonprofits classified under sections 401 (a) or 501 (c) (3) of the tax code."

Doomsday Prophecies The last day of the Mayan calendar corresponds with the December Solstice, which has played a significant role in many cultures all over the world. Not a Maya Invention The Maya didn't invent the calendar, it was used by most cultures in pre-Columbian Central America – also those predating the Maya. However, the Mayan civilization developed the calendar further and it's still in use in some Maya communities today. Wheels Working Together The Mayan Calendar consists of three separate corresponding calendars, the Long Count, the Tzolkin (divine calendar) and the Haab (civil calendar). Time is cyclical in the calendars and a set number of days must occur before a new cycle can begin."

Women have traditionally created textiles in Maya society, and textiles were a significant form of ancient Maya art and religious beliefs. They were considered a prestige good that would distinguish the commoners from the elite.

The preparation of cotton for spinning was very burdensome, as it had to be washed and picked clean of seeds. The cotton was usually associated with the elites. [ 3]Elite women were also given the opportunity to work with the most expensive feathers and pearl beads. However, women of the elite not only had to prepare the best clothing for their families, but they also had to be talented in weaving tapestry, brocade, embroidery, and tie-dyeing for tribute to other families and rulers. Weavers had three different natural dyes to work with. Women also worked with maguey."

"text": "The Tzolk'in Calendar Prev NEXTTzolk'in calendar day names, also known as glyphs. Like many Mesoamerican calendars, the Tzolk'in, or Sacred Round, calendar operated on a 260-day cycle. One theory for the significance of its cycle length is that the 260 days correlate to pregnancy [source: Maya Mystery School ]. Another proposes that the calendar represented the length of time to cultivate corn. However, it's more likely that it was based on the Mayans' reverence for the numbers 13 and 20. In the Gregorian calendar, we have seven days of the week and, depending on the month, anywhere from 28 to 31 days. The Tzolk'in calendar is made up of a set of 20 day names, symbolized by images called glyphs, and 13 numerals called tones. The days are numbered one through 13, and the names are also given in sequence. The beginning of the Tzolk'in calendar begins with the first day name, Imix', and the number one. The days continue in sequence, with the second day being a combination of Ik' and the number two; the day names and numbers combine in sequence until all 13 tones are used."

"text": "The Ancient Maya Mayan civilization lasted for more than 2,000 years, but the period from about 300 A. D. to 900 A. D., known as the Classic Period, was its heyday. During that time, the Maya developed a complex understanding of astronomy. They also figured out how to grow corn, beans, squash and cassava in sometimes-inhospitable places; how to build elaborate cities without modern machinery; how to communicate with one another using one of the world’s first written languages; and how to measure time using not one but two complicated calendar systems. Did You Know? The written language of the Maya was made up of about 800 glyphs, or symbols. Each one represented a word or a syllable, and could be combined with the others in an almost infinite number of ways. As a result, there were three or four different ways to write almost every word in the Mayan language. Mayan Astronomy and Calendar-Making The Maya strongly believed in the influence of the cosmos on daily life. Consequently, Mayan knowledge and understanding of celestial bodies was advanced for their time: For example, they knew how to predict solar eclipses. They also used astrological cycles to aid in planting and harvesting and developed two calendars that are as precise as those we use today."

As a whole, the Maya people created the longest lasting civilization of the New World. It became distinguishable from other early farming cultures of Mesoamerica in the middle of the first millenium BCE, when the first great Maya cities were constructed. Their culture endured through changes, wars, and disasters until it was suppressed by the Spanish conquest in the 16th and 17th centuries. The last indepedent Maya kingdom of Tayasal, fell as late as 1697. However, the Maya survived and there is estimated to be at least one million Mayas living in Mexico, Guatemala, El Salvador, and Honduras today. General Overview The Maya hieroglypic writing is arguably one of the most visually striking writing systems of the world. It is also very complex, with hundreds of unique signs or glyphs in the form of humans, animals, supernaturals, objects, and abstract designs. These signs are either logograms (to express meaning) or syllabograms (to denote sound values), and are used to write words, phrases, and sentences. In fact, the Maya can write anything that they can say."

Using their knowledge of astronomy and mathematics, the ancient Maya developed one of the most accurate calendar systems in human history. The ancient Maya had a fascination with cycles of time. The most commonly known Maya cyclical calendars are the Haab, the Tzolk’in, and the Calendar Round. Aside from these, the Maya also developed the Long Count calendar to chronologically date mythical and historical events. The 13 baktun cycle of the Maya Long Count calendar measures 1,872,000 days or 5,125.366 tropical years. This is one of the longest cycles found in the Maya calendar system.

"text": "Tikal’s great plaza, at the heart of what was one of the most powerful city-states in the Americas, is surrounded by monumental structures: the stepped terraces of the North Acropolis, festooned with grotesque giant masks carved out of plaster and masonry; a steep pyramid called Temple I, whose roof comb towers 145 feet above the ground, and its mate across the plaza, Temple II, soaring 125 feet above the grass; and a complex of mysterious buildings called the Central Acropolis. At the peak of its glory, around a.d. 750, Tikal was home to at least 60,000 Maya and held sway over several other city-states scattered through the rain forest from the Yucatán Peninsula to western Honduras. Though magnificent, the ruins of Tikal visible today represent but a fraction of the original city-state. During its heyday, archaeologists say, “downtown” Tikal was about six square miles, though research indicates that the city-state’s population may have sprawled over at least 47 square miles. Yet most of Tikal—the heart of Guatemala’s Tikal National Park, about an hour’s drive northeast of the modern city of Flores—has not even been excavated. And until recently, the same could be said about the nature of the Maya themselves. For much of the 20th century, Maya experts followed the lead of Carnegie Institution of Washington archaeologist J. Eric Thompson, who argued that the Maya were peaceful philosophers and extraordinary observers of celestial events content to ponder the nature of time and the cosmos. Thompson, who died in 1975, theorized that Tikal and other sites were virtually unpopulated “ceremonial centers” where priests studied planets and stars and the mysteries of the calendar. It was a beautiful vision—but nearly all wrong. “"

Photograph: Nasa In case you haven't heard, the world ends tomorrow. Friday 21 December 2012 is the date that the Maya Long Count Calendar reads \"\" thirteen b'aktun \"\". This has somehow snowballed into a full-blown doomsday prophecy with the apocalypse involving – against all verifiable evidence – black holes, solar flares, previously unknown planets, and comets targeting Earth. Comets have long been thought harbingers of disaster. As recently as 1910, Halley's comet was the subject of great public concern. Although it has nothing to do with the present Mayan Apocalypse, the parallels are interesting. Back then, in an age when telescopes were unable to track the comet around its 76-year orbit, the search for its return was reported by the newspapers. The anticipation of a spectacular view, as a result of the comet's calculated close passage to Earth, turned to concern when astronomers realised that the Earth would pass through the comet's 25-million-kilometre-long tail."

The Maya, whose culture in Central America and southern Mexico peaked around 800 A. D. before going into steep decline, had an advanced calendar system that incorporated the movement of the sun, moon and planets. For the Maya, time was cyclical and repeated itself, making certain days or months lucky or unlucky for certain things, like agriculture or fertility. The Maya calendar \"\"reset\"\" in December of 2012, inspiring many to see the date as an end-of-days prophecy. The Maya Concept of Time: To the Maya, time was cyclical: it would repeat itself and certain days had characteristics. This notion of cyclical as opposed to lineal time is not unknown to us: for example, many people consider Mondays to be “bad” days and Fridays to be “good” days (unless they fall on the thirteenth of the month, in which case they are unlucky). The Maya took the concept further: although we consider months and weeks to be cyclical, but years to be lineal, they considered all time as cyclical and certain days could “return” centuries later. The Maya were aware that a solar year was roughly 365 days long and they referred to it as a “haab.” They divided a haab into 20 “months” (to the Maya, “uinal”) of 18 days each: to this was added 5 days annually for a total of 365."

"text": "Mayan Numbers and Math Prev NEXTMayan mathematical system-1-20Along with their calendars -- the Tzolk'in, the Haab and the Long Count -- the Mayans also created their own math system. They used a series of dots and bars to signify numbers. One dot equaled one unit, while one bar equaled five units. A shell symbol signified zero. In a system similar to the one we use now, the Mayans used place values to designate large numbers. However, the similarities between math systems end there. Mayans' place values are vertical, whereas ours are horizontal. For instance, we write the number 27 horizontally -- the number two, then the number seven to the right of it. The Mayans, however, would write 27 vertically -- their symbol for seven (a line representing five units with two dots over it) would be on the bottom, and the symbol for 20 (a dot on the line above) would be directly over it. The same applies for other numbers, like 29."

"text": "The longest day or the summer solstice December 21, 2007By Nick Lomb Share: The seasons drawn by Nick Lomb On Saturday 22 December 2007 at 5:08 pm Australian eastern summer time the Earth is at summer solstice. This is when the Sun appears at its most southerly position for the year and, for those of us in the southern hemisphere, it is the longest day of the year. In Sydney the Sun is above the horizon for 14 hours and 25 minutes. Note though the difference in day length from the day before or the day after is only a matter of a few seconds. Also note that the day of the solstice is not the day with the earliest sunrise or the latest sunset. It is just the day with the longest time from sunrise to sunset. The reason for the Earth’s seasons and for equinoxes and solstices is the 23.°5 degree tilt of the axis, known technically as the “obliquity of the ecliptic”. [ That is a good phrase to drop at a Christmas barbeque – “It is hot today, isn’t it” – “Yes, it is all to do with the obliquity of the ecliptic”! ] Scientists suggests that the Earth axis is tilted from the vertical because it was struck by another large body during the early years of the solar system, over 4000 million years ago. The collision may even have been the same one that is believed to have led to the formation of the Moon."

Worlds were created and destroyed in the myths, and splendid gods warred among themselves. Everyday items, like colors, numbers, directions, and days of the calendar, took on special meaning because each was associated with a deity, or god. Aztec religious life ranged from keeping small pottery statues of the gods in homes to attending elaborate public ceremonies involving human sacrifice . The Aztecs migrated to central Mexico from the north in the 1200s ce. According to their legends, they came from a land called Aztlán, the source of their name. The Aztecs were not a single people but several groups, including the Culhua-Mexica, the Mexica, and the Tenocha. In the early 1300s, these groups formed an alliance and together founded a city-state called Tenochtidán (pronounced teh-nowch-TEE-tlan) on the site of present-day Mexico City. The people of Tenochtidán rose to power and ruled a large empire during the fifteenth century. The Aztecs were newcomers to a region long occupied by earlier civilizations such as the Olmecs and the Toltecs, who had developed a pantheon, or worship of a collection of gods, and a body of their own myths and legends."

The earliest known Long Count date, carved in 31 BC, was found at the Olmec site of Tres Zapotes. The earliest known Maya long count was recorded in year 32 AD at the site of Chiapa de Corzo in the Highlands of Chiapas, Mexico.

But unlike ours, theirs also has an apparent end date, December 21 of 2012 AD. The long count is represented as a five place notation system of ascending cycles - kins (days), winals (20-day months), tuns (360 days), k'atuns (20 tuns), and bak'tuns (20 k'atuns). It is important to note that the long count's version of a year, the tun, is only 360 days, not the solar count of 365. This means that the long count diverges from the Haab by five days every year, making it a completely unique and separate cycle. The Five Long Count Positions The largest of the long count's five cycles, the bak'tun, is a period equaling 400 tuns."

From such small isolated groups, communities were formed. Then came the societies which in due time became a civilization. How the human mentality and psychology led to this huge change is still a popular topic among the historians and anthropologist, and a major discussion for another day. For now, let’s talk about some of the oldest civilizations to have ever existed in the world. We are talking about the civilizations that we know, as fact, existed for real, unlike the ones that are shrouded by myths and beliefs (Atlantis, Lemuria and Rama civilizations to name a few). To correctly map the oldest of the civilizations in a chronological order, it becomes necessary to go the very cradle of civilization. Having said that, here is a list of top 10 oldest civilizations to ever exist in the world, starting with the most recent one first.10. The Incas Civilization Contents10. The Incas Civilization9."

"text": "Aries dates in astrology are March 21 to April 19. If your birthday falls in this date range, you have an Aries Sun sign. Although Aries horoscope birth dates can change depending on the year, these are typically the Aries calendar dates. For about 30 days each year, the Sun travels through the part of the zodiac occupied by Aries. March 21-April 19 is typically the Aries birth date range. Occasionally, the Aries start date will be a day earlier, or the Aries end date will fall a day later. Aries is the first sign of the zodiac, which contains 12 signs in total. The Aries horoscope dates begin the entire 12-month astrological cycle, which proceeds all the way to Pisces. The Aries star sign is an extroverted fire sign (element) and a leadership-oriented cardinal sign (quality). As the only cardinal fire sign in the zodiac, Aries people are ambitious, driven and like to be number one."

"text": "\"Experiences With An Aries Male I'm a female Taurus and I'll be honest, every new friend, male or female, I seem to make over the years is . . . you guessed it, an Aries. It's a funny thing and many say that Aries, in particular, seem to be inexplicably drawn to Taurus folks. Anyone who is versed in mythology knows that Ares (Aries), the God of War, and the Goddess Aphrodite, a.k.a the Goddess Venus (planetary ruler of Taurus), bore a child together - Cupid. Being familiar with the Aries personality, many times I can't help but think it's because they underestimate the Taurus personality and tend to think Taurus is someone who will put up with them - and their giant egos, both male and female. Anyone who truly knows the Aries personality realizes that I didn't just insult them there. Many an Aries will readily admit that it's all about them and this is especially true for the Aries male. A previous post about experiences with a Taurus male has generated so much interest and discussion that I thought it'd be fun to explore the world of the Aries. But first, I'd like to note that I'm going to tread into some murky waters here and before all you Aries that are in denial begin to bash me for it, let me just say that I know plenty of wonderful Aries, men and women both. So as you continue to read this, please keep that in mind."

She's Not Afraid To Say Who She's NOT Dating By Hannah Shapiro 2 months ago ABC/Paul Hebert There are often a few ladies that stand out as immediate frontrunners on The Bachelor (producers: Fallon Jethroe), and this season is no different. Becca has been one to watch on Arie Luyendyk Jr.'s season since she first stepped out of the limo and had Arie fake propose to her. They had an immediate connection, easy chemistry, and a mutual maturity. Oftentimes, fans will look to frontrunners' social media to try and determine their relationship status and thus the ending of the show. So, is Becca single after The Bachelor? Arie is certainly taken with her. Arie wrote about his immediate connection with Becca in his People blog. He gushes about their first date and also talks about how instant their connection was. He wrote:\"\"From the moment I met Becca K., I knew she was really sincere about being on this journey."

Gets the Best Date in Bachelor History By Anna Moeslein January 8, 2018 10:39 pm PHOTO: Paul Hebert Before we begin our recap of tonight's The Bachelor episode, I ask for your patience if my thoughts seem scattered. You see, I just learned that Hot Peter will not be joining The Bachelor Winter Games —even though Mike Fleiss promised he would—and I'm still shook. I'll rise above it, but barely. But let's move on (and consider this your spoiler warning): The episode starts with Arie rolling up to the mansion on a motorcycle while the contestants sit around and chat about how attracted they are to him. Excellent performances, all—I consider your lack of Golden Globes to be a snub. Chris Harrison shows up and tells the women, \"\"The hope is that just one of you will become Arie's wife.\"\" The way he pauses, it makes me wonder...is there a chance...that... multiple women could become Arie's wives? I certainly hope not, but with this show you never really know. Becca K. gets the first one-on-one date, and it's starting ASAP. She doesn't even have time to go wash her face because Arie is here with his motorcycle jacket and bland face, and they're off!"

"text": "\"Aries Taurus Cusp I was born close to the Aries Taurus cusp. Am I an Aries or am I a Taurus? A cusp is the moment one sign changes to the next. The cusp between Aries and Taurus happens at a precise moment, which varies from year to year. If you were born before it you would be Aries, and after it you would be Taurus. The moment of the Aries Taurus cusp is not related to calendar dates. It's not as simple as saying April 19th is always Aries and April 20th is always Taurus. One year the cusp may be at 11pm at night on April 19th, and the next year it may be early in the morning on April 20th etc. To find out for sure which sign you are you will need to know when exactly you were born. Specifically you will need to know: Your date of birth (must be accurate)Your time of birth (as accurate as possible)Your town and country of birth With that information an astrologer can calculate which side of the Aries Taurus cusp you were born on, and therefore which sign you are."

While there may be something missing on an intimate level (Aries is not known for an emotional approach to love-making), the Aries' eagerness and willingness to venture into untried territory wins major points. Aries is not the most romantic of signs, but the Aries' almost innocently direct and enthusiastic approach at least appears to be passionate. The trick is to keep Aries' interest in order to keep that initial spark alive. This involves stimulating conversation, a few adventures, as well as lively moments that can even include arguments. Aries gets off on a feeling of newness."

When these two date there could be some bumps in the road. The Cancer woman may have trouble handling her Aries man's blunt personality. He is confrontational while she is passive. He needs to be mindful of her sensitivity if this relationship is going to work. Sexually, these two are hot and tender! The Cancer woman is attentive to every physical desire her Aries man has and she'll nurture his body into utter bliss. In turn, he'll be passionate and direct so he'll grab his Cancer woman right out of her shell and get right down to business!Cancer Man and Aries Woman The relationship between an Aries woman and a Cancer man could be challenging. The Aries woman is blunt and direct while the Cancer man is sensitive and moody. There could be hurt feelings and bruised egos."

During this time we wanted to see as much of Vancouver as possible but also some of the Rocky Mountains. I'm unsure how long we'll need to do this and also which transport to use (the Rocky Mountaineer doesn't operate during this time). From what I've read, hiring a car would be best but coming from Brisbane, Australia, we're not familiar with driving in snow (I'm also nervous about driving on the other side of the road!). Will there be snow/ice at this time of year? Which location is best in the Rocky Mountains considering our tight timeframes, Banff? How long would it take to drive from Vancouver to Banff? Sorry for heaps of questions, any advice would be appreciated!

They’re about long drives out of town, lunch stops, gift shops, road tolls, slow strolls, and being open to serendipity. One journey commonly made from Boston is out along Route 2 to the northern Berkshires. After a beautiful two-hour drive, you climb over the Hoosac Mountains and wind your way down into hard-bitten North Adams, stopping at the Massachusetts Museum of Contemporary Art, a museum made for serendipities.

After seeing it, you may choose to stay overnight, perhaps across the road at Porches.

J.\"\" Burrows Jr. (nephew) Michael \"\"Mike\"\" Scofield Jr. (son via Sara)Spouse (s) Sara Tancredi Nika Volek (ex-wife)Michael J. Scofield, portrayed by Wentworth Miller, is a fictional character and one of the two protagonists of the American television series Prison Break. The character first appeared in the series pilot, in which he deliberately sends himself to prison so as to break his elder brother, Lincoln Burrows ( Dominic Purcell ), out before his execution for a crime he did not commit. The storyline of the first season revolves around the two brothers and Michael's plan to help Lincoln escape his death sentence. Later seasons detail their life on the run and their quest for the truth behind Lincoln's imprisonment. As the principal character, Michael has been featured in every episode of the series. Although both Lincoln and Michael are the main protagonists of the series, Michael has been featured more extensively than Lincoln, especially in the first season and the third. Various flashbacks from subsequent episodes provide further insight into the relationship between Michael and his brother, and the reasons behind Michael's determination in helping Lincoln to escape his death sentence. In the episode flashbacks, the younger Michael is played by Dylan Minnette. It is later revealed that Michael has low latent inhibition, a psychological condition in which one sees the world as pieces, rather than mere objects.

By many measures it is the largest ski resort in North America and has the greatest uphill lift capacity. Whistler Blackcomb, owned by American Vail Resorts from Colorado, features the Peak 2 Peak Gondola for moving between Whistler and Blackcomb mountains at the top; Peak 2 Peak holds the record for the highest above ground cable car in the world. With all of this capacity, Whistler Blackcomb is also often the busiest ski resort, often besting 2 million visitors a year. Whistler was originally conceived as part of a bid to win the 1968 Winter Olympics. Although the bid failed, construction started anyway and the resort opened for the first time in January 1966. Blackcomb mountain, originally a separate entity, opened for business in December 1980."

"text": "Whistler has terrain for all levels. It's a good rule of thumb to assume that,if a ski area was chosen as the location for an Olympic competition, it's probably not going to underwhelm. That's really true of Whistler, British Columbia, where the Olympic snow events were held during the 2010 Vancouver Olympics. The town of Whistler is so picturesque it looks like the inside of a snow globe, but it's the side-by-side sight of Whistler and Blackcomb mountains that are the stars. Skiing Whistler Blackcomb is heaven for serious skiers, and it's just as fun for newbies – if you know how to get started. Study Trail Maps Ahead of Time Both Whistler and Blackcomb mountains are mammoth. Together, the two mountains have more than 200 marked ski trails and more than 8,000 acres of terrain. Don't wait to check out a map until you're already strapped into skis. The official trail map looks a little like a Chutes and Ladders board, with lifts and trails starting and ending at different points all over the mountains, so it's essential to have a plan before starting the day. Study the interactive map on Whistler Blackcomb 's website to orient yourself."

It boasts that it is the highest and longest guided aerial tramway in Canada. During the ascent up Whistlers Mountain a cabin guide gives an interpretive and educational talk on the surrounding area. It’s one of three gondola choices in Banff and Jasper National Parks. If you can’t decide see our post on which rocky mountain gondola to take, Banff, Lake Louise or Jasper. As the tram car ascends up the mountain, the Athabasca river, glacier lakes, the town of Jasper and several mountain ranges gradually come into view. On a very clear day you can see Mt. Robson, the highest peak in the Canadian Rockies. It is nearly 100 km’s away. Keep an eye on the ground below, if you’re lucky you might spot a bear or other wildlife on the way up. On our trip we saw a female moose and her calf."

However last year we went the middle two weeks in March to catch the Olympics / Paralympics and the approaches into the village were becoming slushy in places, with the rest of the mountains being ok. Obviously the weather can change year to year but others may be able to give you a better idea of the expected conditions in April."

"text": "\"0Geordon Omand, The Canadian Press Published Monday, August 8, 2016 7:35AM PDTLast Updated Monday, August 8, 2016 2:13PM PDTVANCOUVER -- One of Canada's most popular and internationally renowned ski destinations is being sold to an American resort operator with the architects of the nearly C$1.4-billion deal citing financing for expansion and a push to attract more international visitors as benefits of the sale. Colorado-based Vail Resorts Inc. has reached an agreement to buy Whistler Blackcomb Holdings, owner of Whistler Blackcomb ski resort, saying Monday the transaction would give the British Columbia tourism hub access to both the money and the markets it needs to grow its status as one of the world's leading, year-round ski havens. \"\" We have felt for a long time that Whistler (Blackcomb) is really the best positioned North American resort to benefit from the growth that we expect in outbound Chinese ski visitation, especially as China starts to ramp up towards the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics,\"\" said Vail CEO Rob Katz on Monday. Related Stories Whistler Blackcomb's $345M plan includes water park, rollercoaster Whistler Blackcomb extends ski season after above average snowfall Photos Skiing at Whistler Blackcomb Resort is shown in a handout photo. ( THE CANADIAN PRESS / Destination BC-Robin O'Neill\"\"For our company to have a strong entree into that opportunity is meaningful. \"\" The deal is expected to close in the fall. Located about 120 kilometres north of Vancouver, Whistler Blackcomb is both the largest and the most popular ski destination in North America, with more than two million people visiting last year. It gained further renown on the world stage six years ago when it helped host the 2010 Winter Olympic Games. Whistler Blackcomb CEO David Brownlie, who will stay on as chief operating officer once the deal closes, said a more diversified company has better long-term stability. \"\" We've both come off very strong years."

"text": "Why do People Whistle ~ Are They Just That Happy? The Cleaning and Maintenance of Your Room Divider Display Towers Ideas for Your Classroom and Beyond I’m going to come clean right off and confess that I can’t whistle. And I don’t mean I can’t whistle in the sense that I can’t carry a recognizable tune, I mean I CAN’T WHISTLE. As the daughter, spouse and mother of prolific and proficient whistlers, it seems I have spent my entire life trying to master making one single, short, solitary sound. So maybe I’m just a little envious of the people who can turn their breath and two pursed lips into a beautiful melody. Still, I wonder, why do people whistle? Is being able to whistle just some genetic oddity like tongue rolling or webbed toes , or a mastered skill like being able to raise one’s hand in the Vulcan split-fingered salute. I ventured to the internet in search of an answer but was unable to find any concrete scientific evidence to show that whistling was, in fact, a genetic trait, which sort of miffs me. It just has to be! I figured because many people can whistle so easily, even small children, that if I can’t do it then I must have some genetic predisposition that prohibits me from whistling."

"text": "Libra dates in astrology are typically from September 23-October 22. If your birthday falls in this date range, you most likely are a Libra Sun sign. Although Libra horoscope birth dates can change depending on the year, these are generally the Libra calendar dates. For about 30 days each year, the Sun travels through the part of the zodiac occupied by Libra. September 23-October 22 is typically the Libra birth date range. Occasionally, the Libra start date will be a day earlier on September 22, or the Libra end date will fall a day later on October 23. Libra is the seventh sign of the zodiac, which contains 12 signs in total. The Libra star sign is a communicative air sign (element) and a leadership-oriented cardinal sign (quality). As the only cardinal air sign in the zodiac, Libra people are gracious, discerning and like to quietly take charge. This sign is known for being an “iron fist in a velvet glove.”"

Scorpio has more focus than Libra, and Libra can get the ball rolling in the direction both friends want. Libra and Scorpio are steadfast in their loyalty to one another.

This desire is your greatest strength when it comes to living a healthy life. You strive to discover the best exercise and diet plans that work together to help keep your body fit. Fitness Sports For The Libra Zodiac Sign Because Libra is such a social butterfly, you will do better and stick with your exercise regimen if you work out in a group. Any kind of aerobics class or Zumba, where you’re constantly moving and having fun, is perfect for you. Librans can also try low contact sports, such as tennis or golf, or activities where you can do individual events but still be part of a team (gymnastics and diving come to mind). And if you want to sculpt and tone specific parts of your body you can lift weights or do Pilates. And if it’s more of a social thing you’re looking for, go out dancing, whether in the club or in a class for a certain genre of dancing. As long as you’re moving and not focusing on the hard work, you’ll be able to maintain a continuous workout schedule. And having friends to keep you motivated and on track is a plus!Libra: Exercise Workout Regime You don’t necessarily have to do low-impact routines, but you tend to shy away from high intensity moves."

"text": "Libra Dates of Birth The Zodiacal Sign of Libra commences on September 23st, but for seven days it does not come into full power until on or about September 28th. From this date onwards it is in full strength until October 20th, and is then for seven days gradually losing power on account of becoming overlapped by the incoming sign Scorpio. As their zodiac signs and meanings would indicate, Libra’s are all about balance, justice, equanimity and stability. They easily surround themselves with harmony and beauty, but sometimes go to extremes to do so if their goals are unreasonable or unhealthy. With Venus as their ruling planet, Libra’s are very understanding, caring, and often the champion of underdogs. They have keen intuitions, but often don’t give themselves enough credit for their perceptions. They can be quiet and shy if not persuaded to come out of their shell. Ironically and in spite of their introverted nature they make excellent debaters, often proving a point from out of seemingly nowhere.

The chart shows the changing shape of a planet's apparent looping formation as it moves through the zodiac. Having crossed the ecliptic (the apparent path of the Sun, Moon and planets) in a Northward direction in late 2013, Jupiter describes a hybrid loop (half loop, half zig-zag) on the Cancer - Leo border in 2014-15, followed by three Northward-facing loops as it heads Southward through Leo, Virgo and Libra over the next three years. The star map applies to observers in the Northern hemisphere (i.e. North is up); for the Southern hemisphere view, click here. The faintest stars on the map have an apparent magnitude of about +4.8. Printer-friendly versions of this chart are available for Northern and Southern hemisphere views. Astronomical co-ordinates of Right Ascension (longitude, measured Eastwards in hrs:mins from the First Point of Aries) and Declination (latitude, measured in degrees North or South of the celestial equator) are marked around the border of the chart. Click here to see a 'clean' star map of the area (i.e. without planet path); observers may wish to use the 'clean' star map as an aid to plotting the planet's position on a specific night - in which case, a printable version can be foundhere.

Credit: NASAAstronomy, Guide to Space Zodiac Signs and Their Dates Article written: 2 Dec , 2015 Updated: 25 Jul , 2017 by Matt Williams Did you know that there are 88 constellations in the night sky? Over the course of several thousand years, human beings have cataloged and named them all. But only 12 of them are particularly famous and continue to play an active role in our astrological systems. These are known as the zodiac signs, 12 constellations that correspond to the different months of the year. Each of these occupies a sector of the sky which makes up 30° of the ecliptic, starting at the vernal equinox – one of the intersections of the ecliptic with the celestial equator. The order of these astrological signs is Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Here are all the zodiac signs and their dates. If your birthday falls within one of those date ranges, that’s your zodiac sign. Granted, modern science has shown astrology to be an ancient fallacy, a way of connecting patterns in celestial movements to events and behaviors here on Earth."

Believing in astrology is a matter of personal choice. Whether you believe in the force of celestial events controlling what happens here on Earth or not, there have been detailed studies in this matter. And a majority of people, all around the world, believe, that the position and movement of the sun, moon and planets, have a direct impact on the events that take place on Earth. Hence, people are divided into different astrological signs, according to the month in which they were born. Read ahead to know more about them. What is Astrology? The study of astrology is basically a study of the positioning of different constellations in the celestial orbit. As a result of the positioning and movement of the sun, moon and constellations, people on earth are affected. The celestial movements bring about a change in the personalities and behavior of the people on Earth."

Gemini Compatibility Because Gemini is so adaptable and has such good people skills, it tends to get along well with just about everybody at a superficial level. In more intimate relationships, however, it's deeply uncomfortable with possessive partners who want to tie it down. For optimum compatibility, Gemini does best with someone who shares its freedom loving approach to life and won’t get upset by its unpredictable ways. Signs Most Compatible With Gemini As a Star Sign ruled by the element of Air, the safest bet for a Gemini is probably one of the other two Air signs, i.e. LIBRA or AQUARIUS. The favorable 120° – or 4 signs – spacing between Zodiac signs in the same element makes for an especially harmonious relationship and a level of compatibility well above the norm. Both Libra and Aquarius are good compatibility matches for Gemini since they share Gemini’s thinking, objective and people-oriented approach to life."

"text": "May 30, 20135 Tax Issues That Cause IRS Trouble for 1099 Workers Are you a freelancer or independent contractor who receives a Form 1099 instead of a W-2 form at the end of the year? If so, then you should be aware of the five tax issues that are the most likely to cause IRS trouble for anyone subject to 1099 reporting of wages or income. Freelancers or independent contractors may work for just one employer on a short or long-term contract, or they may juggle tasks for multiple companies. Many work from home offices, while others report to the company’s office for work just like full or part-time employees. You can’t tell who’s a freelancer or independent contractor by the job they perform, the level of responsibility they have for a particular project, or where they work. But there are distinctive legal differences between employees – whose wages are reported to the IRS and state tax authorities on form W-2 – and independent contractors whose income is reported on form 1099. The most obvious difference is that employees get a paycheck from which deductions have been made to cover income taxes, social security, Medicare and other required payments. The employer pays a portion of the required payments on behalf of the employee, and withholds the rest from the employee’s paycheck. Taxes for independent contractors, on the other hand, are not withheld from their earnings. An independent contractor is responsible for the full amount of the required payments, plus self-employment taxes."

"text": "Estimated Tax Payments: Your Questions Answered Last Updated: Nov 1, 2017 by Shawn Hessinger In Taxes 6232Shares| 158 19 16 Print This Article48 8 Email this Article Estimated income tax payments are a fact of life for most of us who run our own businesses. Unlike those who are employed and receive paychecks where taxes are withheld by the employer, most business owners and the self-employed will be required to periodically send an amount called “estimated tax payments” to the IRS. You may also have to send estimated tax payments to your state taxing authority. In other words, most small business owners must pay estimated taxes quarterly and not wait until April 15 or when other tax payers file their returns. Those quarterly installments are for the amount we “estimate” we will owe. If we do not send in estimated tax payments, we could end up paying hefty penalties, which are essentially interest for your overdue quarterly payments. If you are a small business owner, be sure to take the tax calendar into account when developing a cash flow budget for your business. To learn more, Small Business Trends spoke with Michael Hanley, Managing Partner of the Smithtown, N. Y. CPA Firm Merl & Hanley, LLP. Hanley is also the author of three small business books including Effective Tax Planning for the Micro Business, Choosing the Right Structure for Your Business, and Why You Should Incorporate Your Real Estate Business. Estimated Tax Payment Calendar For Federal Income Tax purposes, estimated tax payments are due as follows: April 15 (first quarter)June 15 (second quarter)September 15 (third quarter)January 15 (fourth quarter)Notice that the January 15 quarterly payment is actually due not in the tax year itself, but early the following year (but before your tax return is due)."

How to Set Up a Quarterly Estimated Tax Deduction From My Account3. Can I Not Pay Federal Taxes for a Few Months? Most people never have to worry about making estimated tax payments because an employer withholds a percentage from wages or salaries. However, if you are self-employed or have significant outside income with no tax withholding, you have to make estimated payments unless your estimated tax liability is less than $1,000. You can use a worksheet in IRS Publication 505 to determine whether you need to make estimated payments. Due Quarterly Usually estimated payments are made quarterly, due on the 15th of April, June, September and January of the next year. However, you may be able to annualize your payments to compensate for unequal income, not distributed evenly by quarters."

"text": "Taxes When are the quarterly estimated tax payments due? Quarterly tax payments are due April 15, June 15 and September 15 of the tax year, and January 15 of the next year. Your income tax liability accrues on income as it is earned, rather than being due on April 15 of the next year. You may make estimated tax payments using Michigan Department of Treasury’s e-Payments system or mail your estimated payment with a Michigan Estimated Tax voucher ( MI-1040ES ). To ensure your estimated tax payment is received timely, allow 3 to 5 days for an electronic payment to be received and 14 days to post to your account. Allow 10 to 14 days for a mailed payment to be received and 30 to 60 days to post to your account. Note: Payments that are not received by the due date will be considered late and will be applied to the following estimated tax quarter. Penalty is 25% for failing to file estimated payments or 10% of underpaid tax per quarter. Interest is 1% above the prime rate."

"text": "\"How do I calculate my estimated taxes? In most cases, you must make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe $1,000 or more in taxes for the year—over and above the amount withheld from your wages. In some cases, though, the $1,000 trigger point doesn't matter. If your prior year Adjusted Gross Income was $150,000 or less, then you can avoid a penalty if you pay either 90 percent of this year's income tax liability or 100 percent of your income tax liability from last year (dividing what you paid last year into four quarterly payments). This rule helps if you have a big spike in income one year, say, because you sell an investment for a huge gain or win the lottery. If wage withholding for the year equals the amount of tax you owed in the previous year, then you wouldn't need to pay estimated taxes, no matter how much extra tax you owe on your windfall. If your prior year's Adjusted Gross Income was greater than $150,000, then you must pay either 90 percent of this year's income tax liability or 110 percent of last year's income tax liability. Note: If you are a farmer or a fisherman, replace the 90 percent shown above with 66.67 percent. Because many special rules apply to farmers, refer to IRS Publication 225: Farmer's Tax Guide for additional information. What if my income has jumped?"

If a business operates as a sole proprietorship, partnership or limited liability company (elected to be taxed as a sole proprietorship), all business income is attributed directly to the owner (s) who are taxed accordingly. People in this category take a payment as an owner’s draw and pay self-employment taxes. If the business is taxed as a corporation, the income to the business is taxed and then any payment to officers or shareholders is taxable income. Self-employment taxes and corporate income taxes should be estimated, reported and paid on a quarterly basis. Taxes are then reconciled at the end of the fiscal (tax) year for the business."

When you drive for Uber, you are regarded as an independent contractor, not an employee. This means that at the end of the year, you will receive a 1099 form rather than the typical W-2 you may be used to getting. As an independent contract, you are considered by the IRS as a self-employed individual operating your own business. The IRS refers to this as conducting business as a sole proprietorship. Additionally, all driving services income you earn, whether through Uber or not, also fall under this same business. Independent contractors report their income and expenses using the IRS form Schedule C. On this form, you calculate your net profit or self-employment income. Because you are not technically employed by Uber, Uber does not withhold social security and medicare taxes or federal income taxes from your earnings like a traditional job where you get a W-2. Because of this, you are responsible for paying your income tax as well as your self- employment tax. Self-employment tax is the same as social security tax + medicare tax."

"text": "Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments: Who Needs to Pay Them, When, and Why By David Weliver • January 1, 2014If you own a business or earn money as a freelancer, you’ll need to make estimated tax payments every quarter to avoid penalties and interest. Here’s how. Finding out you owe federal income taxes at filing time is no fun, but did you know that the IRS can charge you interest and penalties if you don’t properly estimate (and pay) your taxes on at least a quarterly basis? If you’re self-employed or earn additional income from a side hustle that does not withhold federal income taxes (i.e., you receive 1099 forms), you may have to make quarterly estimated tax payments. Who Must Make Quarterly Estimated Tax Payments? The IRS explains, in excruciating detail, how to determine whether you’ll need to make estimated tax payments in Publication 505. Put simply, however, you will generally need to make estimated tax payments if you expect to owe the IRS $1,000 or more in taxes when you file your tax return. If you are self-employed, you will have to send the IRS between 22.5 percent and 28 percent of your gross income four times a year to cover your income tax and social security tax obligations. If you are employed full-time but earn additional income from sources that do not withhold income taxes from your pay (and issue you form 1099), things get a little tricky. Chances are, if owed taxes last year or had only a small refund and you are earning more than $1,000 from sources that do not withhold income taxes, you will need to make estimated payments."

"text": "Related Articles1How to Estimate Taxes for a Company2How to Calculate Gross Income When Self-Employed3How to Calculate Withholding on Taxes From Your Own Business4How do I Calculate Overhead Costs? When you work for wages, your employer withholds taxes from you and pays them to the government on your behalf. When you are self-employed, however, there is no withholding – unless you do it yourself. You will owe taxes on all of your self-employed profits. You can make estimated tax payments to spread the tax burden throughout the year instead of owing a large lump sum at year-end. Taxes Owed by Self-Employed Individuals Just like an employee's wages, your self-employment income is going to be subject to federal income tax, Social Security tax, Medicare tax and state income tax. However, since you are your own employer, you are also going to owe the employer's portion of the Social Security and Medicare taxes. Your federal and state income tax percentages will depend on your overall income and your filing status, which determine your tax bracket. The Social Security tax rate for employees and employers, as of 2018, is 6.2 percent each, so you will owe a total of 12.4 percent of your profits. The Medicare tax rate for employees and employers is 1.45 percent, making your self-employed rate 2.9 percent."

Here is a concise guide to all the important days in the American tax calendar, the dates they fall on this year, and what they could mean for you.1st January 2015 ( Updated Article: Key Dates for 2016 Tax Year)Beginning of the 2015 tax year. Unlike many other countries, the fiscal year in the US is the same as the calendar year. Some deadlines from the 2014 tax year still fall in 2015 though (in the case of extensions or April 15 th ).12th January 2015If you work for tips and earned more than $20 gratuity in the previous month, you need to report it to your employer using Form 4070 by this date. You need to do this on the 10 th of every month throughout the year, excluding months where the 10 th falls on a weekend or bank holiday – January 10 th falls on a Sunday, so you’d report your earnings a day later on the 11 th.15th January 2015If your income is subject to withholding (i.e. tax is automatically deducted from your paycheck by an employer), the chances are you probably won’t need to worry about this deadline. However, if you receive any income that isn’t automatically taxed at its source – in the case of landlords and the self-employed, for example, as well as farmers and fishermen – you need to make your final quarterly estimated tax payment for 2014 by this date. You can find out more about estimated tax and whether you’re affected here.2nd February 2015At the Revenue, processing of individual tax returns from the previous year begins on this date. For employers, this is the deadline for the distribution of Annual Wage and Tax Statements (Form W-2) to employees. If you haven’t received your W-2 by mid February, be sure to check with your employer that they’ve been sent out. This date is also essential if you’ve missed the estimated tax deadline above; if you file and pay your return in full by the 31st, you’ll avoid a penalty fare. ("

Your income tax liability accrues on income as it is earned, rather than being due on April 15 of the next year. You may make estimated tax payments using Michigan Department of Treasury’s e-Payments system or mail your estimated payment with a Michigan Estimated Tax voucher ( MI-1040ES ). To ensure your estimated tax payment is received timely, allow 3 to 5 days for an electronic payment to be received and 14 days to post to your account. Allow 10 to 14 days for a mailed payment to be received and 30 to 60 days to post to your account. Note: Payments that are not received by the due date will be considered late and will be applied to the following estimated tax quarter. Penalty is 25% for failing to file estimated payments or 10% of underpaid tax per quarter. Interest is 1% above the prime rate."

"text": "IRS Underpayment Penalties and Tax Interest Rates Failing To Pay Taxes In Full or Paying Taxes Late If you did not pay your taxes in full by the due date, there will be interest charged on the remaining balance as well as a small underpayment penalty (.5% per month typically). This is also called the Failure to Pay Penalty. If you get an extension to pay your taxes you will most likely incur this underpayment penalty and interest. This interest varies depending on whether you are a corporation, individual taxpayer, and how much you owe (which is discussed in detail below). IRS Underpayment Interest Rates By Quarter Quarter Overpayment Underpayment Q4 18: 10/1/18-12/31/18Q3 18: 7/1/18-9/30/18Q2 18: 4/1/18-6/30/18Q1 18: 1/1/18-3/31/18 4% 4%Q4 17: 10/1/17-12/31/17 4% 4%Q3 17: 7/1/17-9/30/17 4% 4%Q2 17: 4/1/17-6/30/17 4% 4%Q1 17: 1/1/12-3/31/17 4% 4%Q4 16: 10/1/16-12/31/16 4% 4%Q3 16: 7/1/16-9/30/16 4% 4%Q2 16: 4/1/16-6/30/16 4% 4%Q1 16: 1/1/16-3/31/16 3% 3%Q4 15: 10/1/15-12/31/15 3% 3%Q3 15: 7/1/15-9/30/15 3% 3%Q2 15: 4/1/15-6/30/15 3% 3%Q1 15: 1/1/15-3/31/15 3% 3%Note from 2012 to 2015, the rates stayed at 3%. Penalty for Underpayment of Estimated Taxes – Failure to Pay On Time This is a another type of underpayment penalty. Taxpayers many times are required to make estimated IRS tax payments for income earned on a quarterly basis (4/15, 6/15, 9/15, and 1/15). If you are a W-2 employee, your employer typically withholds and sends your taxes to the IRS for you. However, if you are self-employed, or have a side business as a W-2 employee, you could be responsible for estimated quarterly payments. If you fail to make these payments, an underpayment penalty is incurred."

This means your return is due by June 15, 2018. You must pay any taxes due by April 17, 2018 even if you're an expat filing your return by June 15, 2018.

Tax Benefits For Expats Expats are required to file U. S. tax returns each year, but sometimes tax benefits available to them result in no U. S. taxes owed.

Each of the colors stands for a particular personal trait or cultural value. The colors are found on, and in, everything from Mardi Gras beads and throws to the colored sugar and fondant icing on King Cakes. Mardi Gras masks, clothing, floats, body paint, and artwork all share these three colors. Many people date the choice of Mardi Gras colors to 1872 when the New Orleans Krewe of Rex was formed and selected their official Mardi Gras color palette. However, the symbolism of each color probably wasn't codified until 1892 when the Krewe of Rex Parade’s theme was “The Symbolism of Colors”, and proposed the meaning inherent in each color. Mardi Gras Gold The most commonly used Mardi Gras color seems to be gold. While gold may be a favorite everyday color because it connotes wealth, in its association with Mardi Gras it symbolizes power. Mardi Gras gold can be anything from a very yellowy bright tint to a rich, almost bronze, color. Mardi Gras Purple In all things Mardi Gras, the color purple is symbolic of justice, and what is “right”."

Specific groups from Spain and Africa brought their traditions to Cuba, and this combination of diverse influences formed the unique, cohesive system that is \"\"Cuban culture.\"\" Festivities are a fundamental part of the Cuban cultural system. Music and dance, two outstanding facets of Cuban culture, are inextricably linked to a variety of celebrations.

Despite their tremendous cultural importance, parties are rarely studied by Cuban researchers. According to the venerated Cuban cultural researcher Fernando Ortiz in his 1913 article \"\" Fiestas populares \"\" (\"\"Popular Celebrations\"\"), \"\"It is a curious thing for those who pursue—even from afar—sociological studies to note the careless treatment of popular celebrations. . . .

In this coastal city, where the first American Mardi Gras was allegedly observed in 1703, all the parades and pageantry are done for the year; all the beads have been swept from the streets; all the Kings’ and Queens’ coronation costumes have been put away into storage. But just 45 minutes south of the city, on picturesque Dauphin Island, the Mobile Jaycees are already hard at work planning one of the area’s other major events, the annual Alabama Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo . Founded in 1929, the ADSFR has earned the Guinness Book of World Records title as the world’s largest fishing tournament, attracting thousands of fishermen to the area every summer for over 80 years now. For the men who make up the Mobile Jaycees– working class guys who make a living as landscapers, plumbers and police officers– the Deep Sea Fishing Rodeo is every bit as important as Mardi Gras, carrying on a rich maritime tradition that dates back hundreds, if not thousands of years. Alligator Lurking in Mobile Bay THE MOBILE-TENSAW DELTAYou begin to understand the importance of water to Mobile long before you actually get there. Coming south down Highway 65, you’re surrounded by the 260,000-acre Mobile-Tensaw River Delta, the second largest delta in the U. S., which was designated a National Natural Landmark in 1974. The Apalachee, Blakeley, Mobile, Tensaw and Spanish Rivers all feed into Mobile Bay, creating a rich marine ecosystem that includes cypress-gum swamps, brackish water marshes, and submersed grass beds. Great Blue Heron in Mobile Bay The region’s copious rain brings silt down these rivers into the bay and ultimately out into the Gulf of Mexico, creating nutrient-rich waters that make Mobile a haven for wildlife, including 300 species of birds, 46 mammals, myriad reptiles and amphibians, and more than 125 species of fish. People have been harvesting this fruitful biodiversity for centuries, with prehistoric inhabitation dating back at least 5,000 years."

Carnival is a period of frivolity and merrymaking between Twelfth Night (Jan. 6, the much-sung-about twelfth day of Christmas) and Fat Tuesday, the day before Ash Wednesday, when the Christian Lenten period begins. Mardi Gras is French for Fat Tuesday, that last day of celebration before Lent. Why is Mardi Gras always on a different date? The easy answer is because Easter is always on a different date. The date of Fat Tuesday is dependent upon the date of Ash Wednesday, and Ash Wednesday is always 46 days before Easter. Now, how the date of Easter is determined actually depends on the sun and the moon. Easter falls on the first Sunday on or after the first full moon on or after the vernal equinox (first day of spring). Because of all this, the date of Mardi Gras can be as early as February 3 or as late as March 9. What’s the deal with king cake?"

"text": "\"Why Is Mardi Gras Celebrated in France By Benna Crawford Source Mardi Gras was celebrated in Roman Catholic France centuries before the New World was discovered. The riotous parades and parties in New Orleans got their start as imports by French explorers who introduced a favorite annual custom to the raw social fabric of the colonial Gulf region. So, the French had it first and they named it well. Understanding the French Origins Le Carnaval is the French term for what Americans call Mardi Gras. It's an enduring annual tradition throughout much of the European country - each celebration nurtures its own local character. Cities such as Nice, Dunkirk, Nantes, Paris, Ploermel, Annecy, Argenteuil, Lille, Limoux, Rennes, Cote d Azur, Lyon and Marseille schedule everything from parades to masked balls to fish tosses to commemorate history, party down pagan-style and generally exhibit some classic French joie de vivre. Pagans, Romans and One Fat Ruminant Randy pagans cavorted through the streets of Rome during their Saturnalia or Lupercalia seasonal fertility rites - a widespread bacchanalia that dated back millennia. The disapproving Roman Catholic Church fathers, in their infinite probity, decided co-option was the wiser strategy. A new Church-sanctioned tradition merged uninhibited carousing with Christian liturgical observation. The period of late-winter revelry migrated from Rome throughout Catholic countries Italy, Spain, Portugal and France."

"text": "\"Mardi Gras News A history of Mardi Gras Updated on January 8, 2016 at 12:20 PM Posted on January 13, 2009 at 8:40 AMComment By Becky Retz Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is the final day of Carnival, which begins on the Feast of the Epiphany, Jan. 6. Also known as Kings' Day or Twelfth Night, Jan. 6 celebrates the arrival of the three kings at Jesus' birthplace, thus ending the Christmas season. And in New Orleans, simultaneously starting Carnival. This festival of fun finds its roots in various pagan celebrations of spring, dating back 5,000 years. Pope makes it official But it was Pope Gregory XIII who made it a Christian holiday when, in 1582, he put it on his Gregorian calendar (the 12-month one we still use today). He placed Mardi Gras on the day before Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent. That way, all the debauchery would be finished when it came time to fast and pray. Much of the first part of the Carnival season is invitation-only coronation balls and supper dances hosted by private clubs known as krewes. The public portion comes to life a couple of weeks before Mardi Gras when the krewes hit the streets, staging more than 70 parades in metropolitan New Orleans. Mardi Gras arrived in North America with the Le Moyne brothers, Iberville and Bienville, in the late 17th century, when King Louis XIV sent the pair to defend France's claim on the territory of Louisiana."

"text": "\"Holidays & Celebrations Holidays Mardi Gras Q: Where did Mardi Gras originate? A: Quick Answer Though it is now a Christian and Catholic holiday, the exact origins of the celebration of the Carnival season may date back to a pre-Christian era in Ancient Greece or Rome, when pagan seasonal celebrations at this time of year were commonplace. The celebration of the specific Mardi Gras holiday as a Christian holiday may date back to medieval Europe during the Roman Catholic era, when the pagan festivals of Saturnalia and Lupercalia were likely repurposed for a new religious purpose. The process of converting a pre-existing holiday for new religious ideology was likely easier than simply banning the pagan festivals outright.

Credit: Daniel Grill Getty Images Full Answer As far as specific celebrations are concerned, the New Orleans Mardi Gras, which is one of the most famous Mardi Gras celebration in the world, originated with the influx of European Catholics into the area during the 18th century. However, these celebrations remained mostly private in nature until the 19th century, when the first recorded public procession in celebration of Mardi Gras took place in 1837. The city's first Mardi Gras parade to feature early versions of modern-style floats took place 20 years later in 1857."

It is one of the largest such festivals in the world, [4] and includes a variety of events such as the Sydney Mardi Gras Parade and Party, Bondi Beach Drag Races, Harbour Party, the academic discussion panel Queer Thinking, Mardi Gras Film Festival, as well as Fair Day, which attracts 70,000 people to Victoria Park, Sydney. The Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras is one of Australia's biggest tourist drawcards, [5] with the parade and dance party attracting many international and domestic tourists. It is New South Wales' second-largest annual event in terms of economic impact, [6] generating an annual income of about A$ 30 million for the state. The event grew from gay rights parades held annually since 1978, when numerous participants had been arrested by New South Wales Police. The Mardi Gras Parade maintains a political flavour, with many marching groups and floats promoting LGBTQI rights issues or themes. Reflecting changes since the first Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras, participants in the Mardi Gras Parade now include groups of uniformed Australian Defence Force personnel, police officers from New South Wales State Police, as well as interstate and federal police officers, firefighters and other emergency services personnel from the Australian LGBTQI communities. Marriage equality was a dominant theme in the 2011 Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras Parade with at least 15 floats lobbying for same-sex marriage.

[ 7] Claimed first by France as part of Louisiana and later acquired by the United States with the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, it was within the area organized by the U. S. as Kansas Territory in 1854. [ 8] [9] In 1856, a colony led by Preston B. Plumb established the first American settlement near the site at a location on the Saline River. [ 10]Settlers led by journalist and lawyer William A. Phillips founded Salina in 1858. During the following two years, the territorial legislature chartered the town company, organized the surrounding area as Saline County, and named Salina the county seat. The westernmost town on the Smoky Hill Trail, Salina established itself as a trading post for westbound immigrants, prospectors bound for Pikes Peak, and area American Indian tribes."

"text": "We developed Natural Earth as a convenient resource for making custom maps. Unlike other map data intended for scientific analysis or military mapping, Natural Earth is designed to meet the needs of production cartographers using a variety of software applications. Maximum flexibility is a goal. Natural Earth Vector comes in ESRI shapefile format, the de facto standard for vector geodata. Character encoding is UTF-8. Natural Earth Raster comes in TIFF format with a TFW world file. All Natural Earth data use the Geographic coordinate system (projection), WGS84 datum Intelligent data: The attributes assigned to Natural Earth vectors make for more efficient mapmaking. Most lines and areas contain embedded feature names, which are ranked by relative importance. Up to eight rankings per data theme allow easy custom map “mashups” to emphasize your map’s subject while de-emphasizing reference features. Other attributes focus on map design."

"title": "http://oceanservice.noaa.gov/facts/datum.html\nWhat is a datum?",
"text": "\"Near coastal areas, mean sea level (and other tidal datums) is determined by analyzing observations from a tide gauge. This image shows a tide gauge at the St. Charles Parish Water Level Monitoring System in Louisiana. A geodetic datum is an abstract coordinate system with a reference surface (such as sea level) that serves to provide known locations to begin surveys and create maps. In this way, datums act similar to starting points when you give someone directions. For instance, when you want to tell someone how to get to your house, you give them a starting point that they know, like a crossroads or a building address. Geodesists and surveyors use datums to create starting or reference points for floodplain maps, property boundaries, construction surveys, levee design, or other work requiring accurate coordinates that are consistent with one another. There are two main datums in the United States. Horizontal datums measure positions (latitude and longitude) on the surface of the Earth, while vertical datums are used to measure land elevations and water depths. The horizontal datum can be accessed and used through a collection of specific points on the Earth whose latitude and longitude have been accurately determined by NOAA's National Geodetic Survey. One application of the horizontal datum is monitoring the movement of the Earth's crust."

Goodchild Show morehttps://doi.org/10.1016/B978-008044910-4.00029-8 Get rights and content Geographic information systems (GIS) support virtually any operation on geographic information: acquisition, editing, manipulation, analysis, modeling, visualization, publication, and storage. Geographic information science (GIScience) addresses the fundamental questions posed by GIS, constitutes the body of knowledge exploited by GIS, and the research that will enable the next generation of GIS. The history of GIS development has been dominated by a series of applications, and today virtually any activity concerned with the Earth's surface or near-surface has made use of GIS. GIS views the geographic domain through a particular lens, partitioning variation into a set of layers, and organizing space either as an array of cells or as a collection of point, line, or area features. Concepts of object orientation have been adopted within the past decade, allowing GIS to move significantly beyond the metaphor of the map and to include representations of phenomena that are complex and dynamic. Much effort has been expended in the past decade on exploiting the power of the Internet to support sharing of geographic information, and the geoportal represents the most recent stage in those developments. Various efforts have been made to identify the research agenda of GIScience, and a consensus has emerged as to its most important elements. Author Keywords Attribute table; Buffer; Datum; Geodesy; Geoportal; Join; Layer; Map algebra; Metadata;Object orientation; Overlay; Projection; Raster; Topology; Vector Introduction Geographic information can be defined as information linking places on or near the Earth's surface to the properties present at those places. In essence, any item of geographic information must possess both a specification of location, in the form of a place-name, geographic coordinates, street address, or some other suitable format; and a specification of such properties as atmospheric temperature, average income of residents, or elevation above mean sea level. Thus both an informal statement such as ‘it is cold today in Santa Barbara’ and a more formal one such as ‘at 12 noon local time on January 25 at latitude 34 degrees 26 minutes 41 seconds North, longitude 119 degrees 48 minutes 26 seconds West the air temperature in a Stevenson screen was 12.6 Celsius’ are examples of statements meeting this definition."

Boak Link Web page Store AAPG Store Geological cross sections are graphical representations of vertical slices through the earth used to clarify or interpret geological relationships with or without accompanying maps. As with other tools applied to petroleum development, cross sections are used to portray geological information in a visual form so that reservoir characteristics can be readily interpreted. For example, a thorough understanding of regional structural and stratigraphic relationships may lead to better characterization of reservoir flow units (see Flow units for reservoir characterization ). There are two major classes of cross sections used in understanding petroleum reservoirs. Structural cross sections, which show the present day geometry of an area Stratigraphic cross sections, which show prior geometric relationships by adjusting the elevation of geological units to some chosen geological horizon ( Figure 1 ). A third type of cross section called a balanced cross section is a combination of these two. This type attempts to portray the form of geological units prior to some episode of deformation (see Evaluating structurally complex reservoirs ). It can provide important conclusions about present day geometry and past stratigraphic relationships.

When you use this import feature, you are importing two basic kinds of data: Vector Data - Vector data consists of points, lines, paths, and polygons. Typically, point data is used to describe specific locations, such as the center of a city. Lines and paths can be used for road or boundary data, for example, while polygons might be used to describe parcel data or define other areas such as lakes. You can import vector data into Google Earth from third-party data providers, such as ESRI. In addition, you can use generic text files to import point data that you define yourself. Once you import vector data into the Google Earth application, you can change its appearance or content in the same way you would when editing placemarks and folders.

I had done a bit of looking and so far all evidence points to WGS 84, which I am willing to accept. However when creating a custom KML file and adding WGS coordinates they do not seem to agree with that of Google earths. This is frustrating because when I hover the cursor over the location which I am concerned in it shows the same coordinates as what I coded but wont bring them together. Just wondering if anyone has come across the answer, from what I have read google is extremely helpful when people come across problems but they seem to want to keep the answer to this one a secret. Thanks all Back to top"

Cartesian coordinate system (CCS)Geographic Coordinate Systems Geographic Directions Latitude Meridian Prime Meridian Longitude Geodetic Height Ellipsoid Map Map Datum Map projection Universal Transverse Mercator coordinate system UTM Zone Cartesian coordinate system A Cartesian coordinate system specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances from the point to two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin, usually at ordered pair (0,0) Earth is not a Flat Surface. So Cartesian coordinate system cannot be used to represent Earth Surface as Earth has a Spherical Surface. When survey is done for less then 10 Kms, variation due to curvature of the earth will be insignificant and flat earth models can be used. But when maps represent bigger area, Curvature of Earth has to be considered and hence there is a need of geographical coordinate system. Geographical coordinate System (Global Coordinate Systems) (i.e., Latitude and Longitude values, in degrees)For sufficient accuracy to allow global exploration, navigation and mapping earth is considered as spherical for Mathematical Modeling. Describing positions on the surface of the Earth in Latitude and Longitude are the most common representation of spatial data and is called Geographic Coordinate Systems."

A tidal datum is a standard elevation defined by a certain phase of the tide.

In order that they may be recovered when needed, such datums are referenced to fixed points known as bench marks.

Brown was captured by U. S. Marines led by Robert E. Lee and his aide, J. E. B. Stuart. Brown was tried in Charles Town, where cadets from the Virginia Military Institute in Lexington, led by Thomas J. Jackson and John A. Mc Causland, helped provide security. After Brown was sentenced to die for murdering five men (four white and one black), Virginia governor Henry A. Wise met with him personally and decided to let the execution go ahead. Brown was hanged on December 2, 1859. Brown was a radical abolitionist who opposed slavery and treated African Americans as his equals. Even in the North, where the states had outlawed slavery, his views were uncommon. In Virginia , which had the largest population of African Americans of any state, Brown was especially feared and reviled. Slaves were an integral part of the Virginia economy.

"text": "\"Leg pain can signal deadly blood clot Government campaign seeks to warn about hard-to-diagnose 'silent killer'Advertise Open in new windowupdated Print Font: WASHINGTON — Far too many Americans are dying of dangerous blood clots that can masquerade as simple leg pain, says a major new government effort to get both patients and their doctors to recognize the emergency in time. \"\" It's a silent killer. It's hard to diagnose,\"\" said acting Surgeon General Dr. Steven Galson, who announced the new campaign Monday. \"\" I don't think most people understand that this is a serious medical problem or what can be done to prevent it. \"\" At issue are clots with cumbersome names: A deep vein thrombosis, or DVT, forms in large veins, usually a leg or the groin. It can quickly kill if it moves up to the lungs, where it goes by the name pulmonary embolism, or PE. These clots make headlines every few years when seemingly healthy people collapse after long airplane flights or being in similarly cramped quarters. Vice President Cheney suffered one after a long trip last year. NBC correspondent David Bloom died of one in 2003 after spending days inside a tank while covering the invasion of Iraq. Risk rises with age But that provides a skewed vision of the problem."

In the words of All Music: \"\"Fishbone was one of the most distinctive and eclectic alternative rock bands of the late '80s.

They achieved their greatest success in the late 1980s and early 1990s, after which they went through many personnel changes. From 2003 to 2010, John Norwood Fisher and Angelo Moore were the last remaining original members of the band. In the 2010s, all the other original members except Kendall Jones rejoined the band for various reunions and anniversary activities.

Dolly Parton wrote this and did the original version in 1974, which went to #1 on the Country chart that year. She recorded another version for the 1982 movie The Best Little Whorehouse In Texas, which also hit #1 on the Country chart. She wrote the song after the breakup of the musical partnership she had with country singer Porter Wagoner. They were never romantically involved. The lyrics are sad in the sense that the singer will always love the person she is singing to, yet she knows they are not right for each other and must let him go. It is often misinterpreted as a song about people who will be together forever, and even gets played at some weddings. This was featured in the movie The Bodyguard, which Houston starred in with Kevin Costner. Houston played a famous singer and Costner her bodyguard."

It is a ballad, with lead singer Jimmy Ruffin recalling the pain that befalls the brokenhearted, who had love that's now departed. The song essentially deals with the struggle to overcome sadness while seeking a new relationship after a breakup. The tune was written by William Weatherspoon, Paul Riser, and James Dean, and the recording was produced by Weatherspoon and William \"\"Mickey\"\" Stevenson. \"\" What Becomes of the Brokenhearted\"\" remains one of the most-revived of Motown's hits. Composers Weatherspoon and Riser and lyricist Dean had originally written \"\"What Becomes of the Brokenhearted\"\" with the intention of having The Spinners, then an act on Motown's V. I. P. label, record the tune. Jimmy Ruffin, older brother of Temptations lead singer David Ruffin, persuaded Dean to let him record the song, as its anguished lyric about a man lost in the misery of heartbreak resonated with the singer. Ruffin's lead vocal on the recording is augmented by the instrumentation of Motown's in-house studio band, The Funk Brothers, and the joint backing vocals of Motown session singers The Originals and The Andantes. \"\" What Becomes of the Brokenhearted\"\" peaked at number seven on the Billboard Hot 100, and at number six on the Billboard R&B Singles chart, as well as No."

He grew up on a Virginia plantation, became a lawyer, and went on to the White House after the death of his predecessor, William Henry Harrison in 1841. In the years leading up to his presidency, horse-drawn carriages were the mode du jour, Arkansas, Michigan, Maine, and Missouri became states, and across the sea, Napoleon Bonaparte was conquering Europe.

The patriarch: US president John Tyler, who was born in 1790, has two living grandsons Grandsons of a president: Harrison Ruffin Tyler, left, and his brother Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr., call the tenth president of the United States their grandfather Lyon Gardiner Tyler Jr. was born in 1924 to Lyon Gardiner Tyler, the son of the late president. His brother Harrison Ruffin was born four years later, according to records kept by the Sherwood Forest Plantation Foundation, the home of President Tyler.

At the time I couldn't grasp just how important the music blasting from the speakers was to her and eventually would become to me. The Four Tops, Marvin Gaye, Otis Redding, Aretha Franklin, The Temptations, Sam Cooke, the list goes on. On one night as we were driving a song come on the radio that I didn't recognize. My mom couldn't contain her excitement saying that this is one of her favorite songs that she hasn't heard in years. I listened to it and to me it sounded like your normal run of the mill slow 70's r&b track. Only over time did I realize How wrong I was. The song was David Ruffin's - Statue of a Fool.

I know David had actually been quoted a few times as saying thet he wrote that song, but that song, which became a monster Country hit for Ricky Van Shelton in the 80's, was written back in the 50's by a guy named Jack something (Jeez...memory's shot). Anyway, two questions, 1) Anyone know the name of jack something that wrote the song, and 2) How could Ruffin say he wrote it when it was written by that Jack guy in the 50's?

"text": "Music Jimmy Ruffin, Singer of a Memorable Motown Hit, Dies at 78By PAUL VITELLO NOV. 19, 2014Jimmy Ruffin in 1972. Dezo Hoffmann/Rex Features, via Everett Collection Jimmy Ruffin, a soul singer best known for his plaintive 1966 Top 10 hit “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted,” died on Monday in a Las Vegas hospital. He was 78. His death was confirmed by his children, Philicia Ruffin and Jimmy Ruffin Jr., in a statement on Wednesday. Mr. Ruffin was not one of the biggest stars in the Motown stable of the 1960s and ’70s, which also included, among many others, the Supremes, Marvin Gaye, the Four Tops, the Jackson 5 and the Temptations — whose million-selling 1965 single “My Girl” featured his brother David Ruffin as lead singer. But in 1966 and 1967, he was a reliable hitmaker. The elder of those two Ruffin brothers, he followed up “What Becomes of the Brokenhearted” with records including “I’ve Passed This Way Before,” also released in 1966; “Gonna Give Her All the Love I’ve Got,” in 1967; and “Farewell Is a Lonely Sound,” in 1969. In the hiatus between then and his last big hit, “Hold On to My Love,” released in 1980 and written and produced by Robin Gibb of the Bee Gees, Mr. Ruffin performed regularly in the United States and made several albums, including one with his brother, “I Am My Brother’s Keeper.” He moved to England, where he found an enduring audience for his work, in 1981 and settled there for many years."

He was 52. Franklin died of heart failure at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, a week after he was admitted following a series of seizures. His condition had been complicated by diabetes. Born David English on Oct. 12, 1942, in Montgomery, Ala., Franklin fondly remembered getting kicked out of school for singing in the hallways. He was a 15-year-old street singer in Detroit when he met Otis Williams. The two worked together in the Distants and the Primes, a group recruited by Detroit's Motown Records founder Berry Gordy in 1960. Two years later, the group became the Temptations, recording the debut song \"\"Oh Mother, O Mine\"\" on Miracle, a Motown subsidiary label. The other original members of the quintet were Eddie Kendricks, Paul Williams and Eldridge Bryant. Bryant was replaced one year later by David Ruffin."

But in reality, they are harmless—and they even helped prove Einstein's theory of relativity. Solar eclipses used to be seen as omens.©i Stockphoto.com/wynnter The word eclipse comes from ekleipsis, the ancient Greek word for being abandoned. Scientific Discoveries The British astronomer and mathematician, Sir Arthur Eddington, used the total solar eclipse of May 29, 1919 to test Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. By taking pictures of stars near the Sun during totality, Eddington was able to show that gravity can bend light. This phenomenon is called gravitational deflection. All eclipses worldwide 1900–2199Helium Named After the Sun A solar eclipse is also responsible for the discovery of helium. The first piece of evidence for the existence of the second lightest and the second most abundant element known to humans was discovered by the French astronomer Jules Janssen during a total solar eclipse on August 16, 1868. Because of this, it's named after the Greek word for the Sun: Helios. Predicting the Emperor's Future Surviving records have shown that the Babylonians and the ancient Chinese were able to predict solar eclipses as early as 2500 BCE."

( Complete answer on the NASA page Periodicity of Solar Eclipses. ) Intervals of 6 synodic months (177 days) between two solar eclipses over the same spot are rather uncommon. For example, on Kerrville, TX (USA), you will witness both the Annular Solar Eclipse of 2023 Oct 14 and the Total Solar Eclipse of 2024 Apr 08. Intervals of 5 synodic months ( 147 days) are very uncommon although not really rare; being able to witness them on an easibly reachable land location and in good weather is very rare though. Move to El Salloum, Egypt, or to Al Jaghbub, Lybia, and you will witness both the Annular Solar Eclipse of 2059 Nov 05 and the Total Solar Eclipse of 2060 Apr 30. The short answer for “what is the shortest possible interval between two solar eclipses on a given place on Earth ?” is most likely the same as my first answer (29 days). These will be extremely rare, though, and I couldn’t find a single one."

On that date, a total solar eclipse will be visible all the way from the east coast to the west coast. Incredibly, another rare solar eclipse of this nature will move across the country just seven years later in 2024. If you plot the projected courses of these two solar eclipses on a map, you will find that they form a giant “X” across the continental United States. In the Scriptures, Jesus told us that “there shall be signs in the sun, and in the moon, and in the stars” just prior to His return, and many are speculating about what this giant “X” might mean. Astronomers have been buzzing about the upcoming solar eclipse on August 21st because it is so very rare. In fact, many are already making plans to travel to specific locations in order to have an optimal viewing experience. The following description of what will happen on that day comes from Fox News …Day will turn into night across the United States on Aug. 21, as the country experiences its first total solar eclipse in decades. On this day, the moon will pass directly between the Earth and the sun, casting a shadow on the United States that will track from Oregon to South Carolina. This will be the first time since 1918 that a total solar eclipse will be visible from the West Coast to the East Coast of the United States."

Five minutes later the moon will start to move out of the shadow and the eclipse will end at 12.45am on Sunday. What is a total lunar eclipse? A total lunar eclipse occurs when the moon is completely in the Earth's shadow. This can only occur when the sun, earth and the moon are completely aligned. In astronomy, this is known as syzygy."

Why my theory is mistaken? Let's see this theory as following My Theory for the Moon orbital period (27.3 days)The moon apogee radius = 406000 km The lunar apogee circumference = 2.58 million km (mkm)Earth rotates daily around her axis with all this circumference (supposition)ie Earth rotates daily holding with her the moon orbit!That means the moon orbit rotates with the Earth daily around the Earth Axis complete rotation (360 degrees)Let's see that deeply:-The outer line of the moon apogee orbit radius 406000 km is the base line of the Earth motion, the Earth uses this line as a road to walk on it.-The Earth body connected with the moon orbit completely as her own body and the Earth moves with this orbit as her vehicle-The Earth rotates the Moon orbit on the outer line till the moon orbit rotates completely (360 degrees) and at this point the Earth daily rotation be completed. For that reason the moon orbit circumference = the Earth motion distance daily. So, why the moon himself doesn't rotates with the Earth daily?! If his orbit rotates completely with the Earth daily rotation? !- The Moon himself rotates completely in the opposite direction to his orbit motion, and for that the moon doesn't be taken in his orbit motion with the Earth-The Moon rotates his orbit completely daily, and just because the Moon rotates in the opposite direction of his orbit motion direction, the moon has the ability to catch his position in the sky, otherwise he would be taken by his orbit rotation with the Earth..-The Moon can't move always with the apogee orbit radius (406000 km) for that reason his total distance daily is not equal the Earth motion, but only 2.41 m km that because the moon rotates with the average orbit and not the apogee orbit-The apogee orbit motion with the earth = 2.58 mkm but the moon motion in the opposite direction = 2.41 mkm, The causes is 0.17 mkm, which causes The Daily Actual Displacement For The Moon ...- The Actual Moon Displacement Daily Is 88000 km, which equal 1/2 of the velocities difference. That because the opposite directions of the motions causes friction for the moon pulling process by his obit velocity, resulting an actual distance = 1/2 the velocities difference. This simple explanation gives us some answer for the question Why the moon orbit apogee circumference = The Earth daily motion distance?ie Why The moon apogee radius = 1/366 of the earth orbital distance? !

Credit: Pete Niesen / Shutterstock.com People across the United States will have the chance to see a total solar eclipse on Aug. 21, the first time the spectacle was viewable from the continental U.

While it may be tempting to brush off warnings about looking up at this eclipse bare-eyed, don't: The light of an eclipse really can damage your eyes — though warnings of total blindness may be overstated. The condition is called solar retinopathy, and it occurs when bright light from the sun floods the retina on the back of the eyeball. The retina is home to the light-sensing cells that make vision possible. When they're over-stimulated by sunlight, they release a flood of communication chemicals that can damage the retina. This damage is often painless, so people don't realize what they're doing to their vision.2017 Total Solar Eclipse: Everything You Need to Know Find the Best Places to Watch the Total Solar Eclipse with NASA Maps (Photos)Solar retinopathy can be caused by staring at the sun (regardless of its phase), but few people can stand to look directly at our nearest star for very long without pain. It does happen occasionally — medical journals record cases in which people high on drugs have stared at the sun for long periods of time, causing serious damage. Adherents of sun-worshipping religious sects are also victims."

C. Less than two weeks ago, I saw my first annular eclipse, with some spectacular results at the moment of maximum eclipse.

"title": "http://fullmoonphases.com/solar-eclipse/\nSolar Eclipse â What is a Solar Eclipse",
"text": "Solar Eclipse – What is a Solar Eclipse W hat is a solar eclipse? Not to be confused with a lunar eclipse, a solar eclipse occurs when the Moon lines up precisely in front of the Earth so that the Moon blocks the Sun’s rays and the Moon’s shadow falls upon the Earth. This relatively rare occurrence only happens during a new moon, when the Earth, Moon and Sun are exactly or very closely aligned, with the Moon in the middle. The shadow cast can partially or totally cover the Moon, which can result in a total eclipse, partial eclipse or annular eclipse for Earth’s viewing pleasure. The type and length of a solar eclipse depends upon the Moon’s location relative to its orbital nodes. A total solar eclipse lasts for only a few minutes and can only be viewed by those along a narrow path of the Earth’s surface. As it is dangerous to look directly at the Sun, observers should use special eye protection or indirect viewing techniques. Solar Eclipse Frequency If the Moon were in a circular orbit close enough to the Earth and in the same orbital plane, there would be total solar eclipses every single month. However, the Moon’s orbit is angled at more than 5 degrees to the earth’s orbit around the sun so its shadow at new moon often misses the Earth. The Earth’s orbit is called the ecliptic plane as the Moon’s orbit must cross this plane in order for an eclipse (both solar as well as lunar) to occur."

List Solar Eclipses 1900–2199Types of Solar Eclipses There are 3 main types of solar eclipses:total solar eclipsespartial solar eclipsesannular eclipses In addition, there are hybrid solar eclipses, also called annular-total eclipse, when an annular eclipse changes into a total eclipse, or vice versa. The darkest stage of a total, annular, or hybrid eclipse can only be seen from a small area. Still, solar eclipses, except hybrid eclipses, get their name from the maximum point of the eclipse, even if this point lasts less than a second. In reality, however, all solar eclipses look like partial solar eclipses in most places and for most of the duration."

"text": "\"Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Astronomy Planetary Science The Solar System The Sun Solar Eclipses What happens during a solar eclipse? Flag What happens during a solar eclipse? Answer by Ken Mitchell Confidence votes 35.0KRetired US Navy officer, astronomy buff, history nut. During a solar eclipse, the moon comes between the sun and the earth, blocking view of the sun from some parts of the earth by casting its shadow. The longest this lasts in any one place on the earth's surface is about 6 minutes, but the alignment of sun, moon and earth that throws the moon's shadow on the earth can last for several hours while the shadow moves across the earth's surface. Adjacent to those places where the sun's disk is totally blocked, where the eclipse is said to be total, there is a wider zone where the sun is never totally blocked, and there the eclipse is said to be partial. Even in places where the eclipse is eventually total, there are times before and after totality when the eclipse is partial. While it is safe to look directly at a total solar eclipse, which is a very spectacular event, care must be taken to avoid looking directly at a partial solar eclipse. The portion of the sun that is not blocked by the moon during a partial eclipse is so bright that, even though it may not be painful, it can burn the retina (light-sensing cells in the back of your eyeball) literally before you can blink. Depending on severity, such burns can take months to heal, or can be permanent, resulting in vision defects or blindness."

"text": "From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search An eclipse season is one of only two periods during a year when eclipses can occur, due to the orbital inclination of the Moon. Each season lasts for approximately 34 days and repeats just short of six months, thus two full eclipse seasons always occur each year. Either two or three eclipses happen each eclipse season. During the eclipse season, the inclination of the Moon's orbit is low, hence the Sun, Moon, and Earth become aligned straight enough (in syzygy) for an eclipse to occur. During each season, the type of solar eclipse (whether total or annular, as seen from the sublunar point) depends on the apparent sizes of the Sun and Moon, which is a function of the elliptical distance of Earth from the Sun and of the Moon from Earth, respectively, as seen from Earth's surface. If the Earth had a perfectly circular orbit centered around the Sun, if the Moon's orbit was also perfectly circular and centered around the Earth, and if both orbits were coplanar (on the same plane) with each other, then two eclipses would happen every lunar month (29.53 days). A lunar eclipse would occur at every full moon, a solar eclipse every new moon, and all solar eclipses would be the same type. Contents [ hide ]1 Details2 Examples2.1 Visual sequence of two particular eclipse seasons2.2 Two-year chart of eclipses (2013–2014) demonstrating seasons3 See also4 References5 External links Details [ edit]An eclipse season is the only time during which the Sun (from the perspective of the Earth) is close enough to one of the Moon's nodes to allow for an eclipse to occur. During the season, whenever there is a full moon a lunar eclipse will occur and whenever there is a new moon a solar eclipse will occur. If the Sun is close enough to a node, then a total eclipse will occur."

"text": "July 15th, 2014By Katie Rucke @katierucke220 Comments In this Oct. 5, 2013 photo, a volunteer walks through a hemp field at a farm in Springfield, Colo. (AP Photo/P. Solomon Banda)Confusion amongst the public on how exactly hemp oil differs from cannabidiol, or CBD, oil, has prompted the nonprofit Hemp Industries Association to issue a statement explaining the difference between the oils in order to ensure that consumers — specifically, medical marijuana patients — are not misled about the intended uses. Hemp is often mistaken for its cannabis cousin, marijuana, even though smoking an entire garbage bag of hemp would not produce an altered state of consciousness, as hemp contains low levels of THC. Confusion between hemp oil and marijuana oil has spiked recently, as states have passed medical marijuana laws that allow for the use of strains of marijuana that are low in THC and high in CBD. Consumers often confuse hemp oil with CBD oil because both are low in THC and contain CBD.“With hemp research and development pilot programs taking off this spring, and the hemp retail market growing at an incredible rate, it’s crucial that consumers and retailers alike understand the difference between hemp oil and CBD extracts,” Eric Steenstra, executive director of Hemp Industries Association, said in a separate statement. “Our Hemp Industries Association position regarding this distinction calls on makers of CBD products to brand and market their products truthfully and clearly, so as to not further the confusion surrounding CBD products in the marketplace. ”Though hemp oil does contain low levels of CBD, typically less than 25 parts per million (ppm), CBD extracts “are produced either directly from cannabis flowers that are up to 15 percent CBD (150,000 ppm), or indirectly as a co-product of the flowers and leaves that are mixed in with the stalks during hemp stalk processing for fiber. ”Because of this distinction, the association says, “It is important for American farmers and processors of hemp to understand that most CBD in products mislabeled as ‘hemp oil’ is a product of large-scale hemp stalk and fiber processing facilities in Europe where the fiber is the primary material produced at a large scale. “CBD is not a product or component of hemp seeds, and labeling to that effect is misleading and motivated by the desire to take advantage of the legal gray area of CBD under federal law. ”Although hemp was once the most important cash crop in the United States — more so than corn and wheat combined — hemp was banned and classified as a Schedule I drug under the Controlled Substances Act of 1970. While classification as a Schedule I drug meant hemp could no longer be grown in the U. S., products containing hemp, such as lotions, fabric and food, are legal for purchase in the U. S. and are often found at natural and health food retailers including Whole Foods, Costco and Sprouts grocers."

They work to create a more enhanced endocannabinoid system. Because CBD and THC are so prevalent in marijuana plants, they are also studied very frequently. CBD hasn’t received much attention over the years by the medical industry, or anyone for that matter, due to marijuana becoming so popular for the psychedelic journey it takes you on.

Affiliate Disclosure Allow me to begin by clarifying a very important thing: I am not a pothead, a stoner, or a recreational drug enthusiast. Never was. Growing up, I was originally a fantasy-fiction writing, World Of Warcraft dominating geek in my early years, and later in high school and college was a clean-living, well-shaven jock athlete with a substance abuse problem that consisted primarily of copious amounts of creatine, caffeine and canned protein shakes. Until recently, unless you count smoking a very small number of joints at a few random parties in college, about the closest I’ve come to what might be considered “fringe” substance use has been via occasional use of nootropics and herbal extracts like packets of concentrated Chinese herbs, smart drugs like piracetam, anirecatam and alpha-GPC combinations ( see my white powder on a kitchen scale video here) and vaporizing nighttime sleep extracts of melatonin and L-theanine ( yet another creepy video here ).

The state’s governor signed a bill on Monday that allows patients to purchase CBD oil to treat severe forms of epilepsy. The new law, which goes into effect on Sept. 1 of this year, requires the Texas Department of Public Safety to issue a minimum of three licenses to companies to grow cannabis, process it and sell it via dispensaries by the fall of 2017, provided there are at least three applicants that meet all the requirements. Each dispensary will operate in a fashion similar to pharmacies, and only a neurologist or epileptologist will be able to prescribe CBD oil, according to the Texas Tribune. But advocates fear the program could prove unworkable because the law requires a “prescription” for CBD oil. Doctors are not legally allowed at the federal level to prescribe any form of cannabis, according to the Marijuana Policy Project (MPP). In other states with medical marijuana laws, doctors “recommend” or certify patients for MMJ but are not required to give them an official prescription. So it’s possible patients in Texas will be unable to obtain prescriptions for CBD oil under the current law. Still, the fact that lawmakers in Texas, a state many figured would be among the last to even consider any form of cannabis legalization, recognize the medicinal value of CBD oil is historic, according to the MPP. Texas Gov. Greg Abbott said he still believes marijuana shouldn’t be legalized in Texas for recreational or medicinal purposes, and he insisted that signing the bill is not tantamount to his endorsement of legalized cannabis.141SHARESShare Tweet Linkedin Reddit Mail Categories: Briefs, Dispensary/Retail Store Business News, Legal & Regulatory News for Marijuana Businesses, Texas Marijuana News, Uncategorized10 comments on “ Texas to Allow At Least 3 CBD Businesses”Anonymous on June 2nd, 2015 - 12:16pm You might want to re read SB 339 again…Reply Chris Lindsey on June 2nd, 2015 - 2:16pm Note that the law requires the state to license “at least three” dispensing organizations, which each have to do cultivation, extractions and retail sales."

Hemp oil is derived from the industrial hemp plant, which belongs to the cannabis family but is a different plant than marijuana. Industrial hemp has been used since ancient times to create cloth and edible oil. Recently, it was discovered that hemp seed oil is extremely rich in cannabidiol, also known as CBD, which is a potent cannabinoid with many proven health benefits. As it has become increasingly popular as a food supplement, CBD is sold and consumed in many different forms. CBD Edibles are one of the easiest and best forms in which to receive your CBD. Everything You Need to Know about CBD Edibles Most people receive their CBD through smoking CBD-rich marijuana strains. Since marijuana isn’t legal in all states yet and is legally sold exclusively for medical purposes, it is hard to come by in this form. Smoking also has many side effects that you might want to avoid, including a higher chance of having respiratory problems and a strong smell you might not want everyone to notice."

"text": "\"Facebook Twitter Google+ Email Follow CBD Oil Dosage – General Advice to Assess How Much CBD to Take Even with the wave of states legalizing medical marijuana, many physicians are still reluctant to prescribe cannabinoids because they are not sure what dosages to prescribe. After all, most medical schools never cover CBD Cannabidiol in their pharmacology courses. Medical scientists are just now developing dosing schedules for medical marijuana, medicinal hemp and their extracts, including CBD. CBD-rich hemp oil comes in various concentrations and forms, including liquid hemp oil, hemp oil as a thick paste, oil in capsules, sublingual tincture drops or sprays, salves for topical use, edibles as in candy or gum and CBD vapor from vaporizers similar to e-cigarettes. Everyone Is Different What you will find on this page is meant to be a guideline, a starting point of reference. The fact remains that everyone is in a different place and will react differently to their CBD dosage. As serving size or dosage of CBD differs for each person, it is best to start small and gradually increase until you experience the desired result. CBD Brands Confusing Dosage CBD oil brands create a lot of confusion for consumers because they all have different standards. Many of them recommend way too much as a “serving” and others recommend too little. Because of this lack of standard during our review of individual CBD products, CBDOil Review.org created the COR Serving Standard to make things simple: CBDOil Review.org (COR) Serving Standard is 25mg of CBD taken twice a day."

"text": "\"Cannabidiol (CBD): Fighting Inflammation & Aggressive Forms of Cancerby Zach Reichard Share Tweet Cannabis contains at least 60 known chemicals called cannabinoids, which activate naturally occurring cannabinoid receptors in your body. Tetrahydrocannabinol, or THC, is the main component responsible for the psychoactive effects, or “high,” cannabis is known for. While THC is known to have some medicinal value, there has been recent investigation into a new cannabinoid that is rumored to have more medicinal benefits than any single pharmaceutical drug on the market. What is Cannabidiol (CBD)? This cannabinoid is known as cannabidiol (CBD) and is the second most abundant cannabinoid found in cannabis on the market today. Research performed by G. W. Pharmaceuticals suggests that CBD could be used for treating symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis and other autoimmune diseases, diabetes, nausea, bowel disorders, and many other hard-to-control side effects. According to an research by Project CBD, CBD has even demonstrated neuroprotective effects, and its anti-cancer potential is currently being explored. While it was originally believed that THC is a breakdown product of CBD, it is now known that both THC and CBD are actually metabolites of their decarboxylated acidic forms, THCa and CBDa. These acidic precursors are decarboxylated (essentially dried) by heat or extraction to produce THC and CBD; only then do they become psychoactive. The compound has medicinal benefits without the “high” that some patients do not desire."

And in most cases it is–as long as you book well in advance; you’re not trying for hard-to-get reservations; your group isn’t overly large; and you aren’t booking a dinner show or meal that requires a credit card guarantee or pre-payment. We’ll look at each of these cases, and give a few tips for making your Advance Dining Reservations go smoothly. Advance Dining Reservations Getting Started Making Reservations Online Last Minute Reservations Hard to Get ADRs Large Groups Credit Card Payments/Guarantees Dietary Needs Other Helpful Info What Are Disney’s Advance Dining Reservations (ADRs)? Disney’s Advance Dining Reservations are not reservations in the “true” sense of the word with definite seating times. They do guarantee, however, that you “will be seated” at the first available table after checking in at the podium for your reservation time. Actually, Disney recommends arriving 15 minutes prior to your ADR time. Waits generally range from a few minutes to a half hour. Think of Disney’s Advance Dining Reservations as Disney’s way of controlling the seating flow in their restaurants."

Unfortunately, this isn’t an option most guests even consider, because it seems like a lot of work. Fortunately, Disney makes it easy to move or, in some cases, stay right where you are. There’s nothing complicated about arranging a split stay, but there are a few things you’ll want to know ahead of time make it easier and more budget-friendly. The issue with dining and tickets: This is the biggest bugaboo with doing a split stay, so you’ll want to be careful here. You probably know that when you buy a package and add dining, you’ll need at least a one-day ticket; if you’re looking to get free dining, it’s usually a two-day ticket. This means that if you have a reservation at Pop Century for 3 days and a reservation for the Grand Floridian for an additional 4 days and you want dining for both, you’ll need to buy tickets for both stay. Understandably, most guests find this unacceptable. The smart thing to do is decide which part of your stay you want dining for and add the tickets to that reservation. This will need to be your first stay, since you’ll get tickets that cover all of your days you plan to stay in the parks."

If guests fail to cancel their reservations within one day of the reservation time and then don’t show up at the restaurant, they’ll be charged $10 per person on the credit card used to hold the reservation. For dinner shows and some character meals, guests will continue to be required to pre-pay for the meal and will forfeit the entire cost should they not cancel within the required window and fail to show up for the event. Guests planning to visit Cinderella's Royal Table could lose their entire payment should they fail to cancel What does “within one day” mean?

The Orlando-area theme parks can hook you up with front-of-the-line access to most of their most popular attractions — usually for a price. Here's a round-up of the current line-skipping options at the Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, and Sea World Orlando resorts. ( Note: This stuff changes. If you see errors or can offer corrections or clarifications for any of the information below, please tell us nicely in the comments, and we'll fix it in the article. ) Walt Disney World Disney was the first major theme park chain to offer a park-wide ride reservation system, called Fastpass. Visitors can use their park ticket to collect a Fastpass, which allows them to bypass the stand-by line at a particular attraction one time during a specified one-hour window. Your use of Fastpass is limited — once you get a Fastpass, you can't get another one until your return window opens or two hours have passed, whichever comes first. And once an attraction has distributed all of its Fastpasses for the day, that's it. You collect a Fastpass by going to the Fastpass distribution location for a specific attraction, usually located near its entrance."

Those of you versed in Lilo and Stitch, or those of you who have been lucky enough to visit the beautiful islands of Hawai’i, know that “‘Ohana” means “Family,” and at this restaurant, they drive the point home. Food is served family style, everyone in the restaurant — including you — are “cousins,” and the Hawaiian entertainment is aimed at bringing everyone together to participate in common activities. It’s a restaurant like none other in the Disney realm, and its high points are what keeps ‘Ohana a tough reservation to get. Atmosphere You’re greeted at ‘Ohana by “cousins” at the podium who take your name, give you a buzzer, and send you out into the Polynesian Resort to explore. Trust me, this is one of those rare restaurants where you hope you have 15-20 minutes to wait until you’re seated — there’s so much to do! Here are my favorite diversions while waiting for my buzzer to go off at ‘Ohana: Have a Drink: Grab yourself a giant wicker chair in the Tambu Lounge just past the ‘Ohana podium. Knowledgeable bartenders and friendly servers will cater to your whims as you relax and wait for your table. ( One of my favorites is the Lapu Lapu…a drink served IN a pineapple! ) Lapu Lapu Listen to the Islands: ‘Ohana often provides a very talented Hawaiian musician to play and sing live music in the waiting area outside of the restaurant."

"text": "Is A Disney Vacation Too Expensive? Posted by: Paula KPaula KWhen you read the title question, most likely you will think yes, Disney is too expensive. That’s the automatic reaction for many of us. We all complain about how much a trip to Walt Disney World costs. They could lower the ticket and other prices and still make tons of money each day. But they keep things expensive and the public keeps coming. Walt Disney World is one of the top family tourist destinations on the planet, so obviously the cost is not keeping everyone away. Families from all walks of life arrive daily and pay the prices that Disney is asking. Some people can easily afford it, others need to save for years, although most visitors are probably somewhere in between. We all like to talk about the “Magic of Disney”, but when it comes down to it we need to remember that it is a business."

But as Communism in the Soviet Republic and Eastern Europe began to crumble, pressure mounted on the East German authorities to open the Berlin border. The Wall was finally breached by jubilant Berliners on 9 November 1989, unifying a city that had been divided for over 30 years. Some of you were in Berlin the night The Wall came down and sent your stories: I was in Berlin on 9 November 1989. I was a US Army intelligence officer working for Allied Forces. We heard on the TV that some border points had opened and I left my wife and young daughter to see what was going on at Check Point Charlie. Arriving at the checkpoint there was a large crowd on the Western side. Climbing a fence I could see large numbers of people on the Eastern side. At about that time there was an announcement that East Germans would be allowed to visit the West but would require a stamp which would be issued the following morning. The feeling in the air was electric, as if some great force had been let loose Joseph, Portugal Thinking that the East Germans would obey this order, I went home, also feeling a bit guilty for having left my wife home alone with the baby."

"text": "Fall of Communism in Eastern Europe, 1989On November 9, 1989, thousands of jubilant Germans brought down the most visible symbol of division at the heart of Europe—the Berlin Wall. For two generations, the Wall was the physical representation of the Iron Curtain, and East German border guards had standing shoot-to-kill orders against those who tried to escape. But just as the Wall had come to represent the division of Europe, its fall came to represent the end of the Cold War. In the White House, President George H. W. Bush and his National Security Advisor, Brent Scowcroft, watched the unfolding scene on a television in the study, aware of both the historical significance of the moment and of the challenges for U. S. foreign policy that lay ahead. Germans celebrating the fall of the Berlin Wall on November 10, 1989. ( AP Photo/File)Not even the most optimistic observer of President’s Ronald Reagan’s 1987 Berlin speech calling on Soviet General Secretary Mikhail Gorbachev to “tear down this wall” would have imagined that two years later the communist regimes of Eastern Europe would collapse like dominoes. By 1990, the former communist leaders were out of power, free elections were held, and Germany was whole again. The peaceful collapse of the regimes was by no means pre-ordained. Soviet tanks crushed demonstrators in East Berlin in June 1953, in Hungary in 1956, and again in Czechoslovakia in 1968. Soviet military planners were intimately involved in the Polish planning for martial law in 1980, and Soviet troops remained stationed throughout Eastern Europe, as much a guarantee for Soviet security as an ominous reminder to Eastern European peoples of Soviet dominance over their countries."

"text": "Politics What Did Reagan Have to do With Ending Communism?ffellowgard | Monday Nov 9, 2009 3:01 AMShare on Facebook Commemorating the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library hosted a panel discussion to delve into one of the most controversial topics in the Cold War: what, if anything, did the 40th president have to do with ending communism? While others have doubted the scale of Reagan’s contribution, even doubting if it existed, there was no doubt where the panelists stood. For those who had witnessed it, Ronald Reagan was the critical factor in winning the Cold War. The panels were comprised of policy experts and journalists, leaders of Eastern European countries who witnessed events first hand and those who were with Reagan as he made the crucial decisions, which they said led to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the sunlit hall of the Air Force One Pavilion, they remembered their individual encounters with Reagan and how they shaped his understanding of the world. Richard Allen, the chief foreign policy advisor to Ronald Reagan, told the story of how he first met Ronald Reagan about 10 days after Jimmy Carter had been inaugurated. He was asking the former governor for help fundraising on his bid to become the next governor of New Jersey, and had flown out to California to meet him for the first time. As Mr. Allen recounts it, Reagan immediately agreed to do fundraisers, and then asked him if he wanted to talk politics. “ I felt that I was in the presence of one of the keenest analysts of world affairs of any that I had been with,” he said at the conference, having also worked with Richard Nixon and Henry Kissinger as part of the National Security Council. “ He didn’t know the details, the minutia, but the basic infrastructure was all in place.”"

"text": "President Kennedy: Berlin, Laos, and “Flexible Response”Posted on May 14, 2012By Alan Brinkley Late in May 1961, Kennedy decided to present a second State of the Union address —only four months after his first. He explained the unusual timing as a result of “extraordinary times.” His January speech had focused mostly on domestic affairs. But his May speech included only a cursory call for “economic and social progress at home.” Instead, he devoted the bulk of his long speech to international issues. He called for America to help economic progress abroad; for military reorganization and disarmament; and for the exploration of space, which he saw as part of how to “win the battle that is now going on around the world between freedom and tyranny.” These were all goals consistent with his bold rhetoric. But such a speech, only a month after the Cuban catastrophe, almost certainly grew out of the unhappy results of his first hundred days, which included the Bay of Pigs disaster and a series of legislative defeats as well. It was as if he was trying to relaunch his presidency as he set off on another momentous challenge. “ I have long thought it wise to meet with the Soviet Premier for a personal exchange of views,” Kennedy concluded his speech as he announced that he would meet with Khrushchev in Vienna in early June. “"

More than 3 million East Germans escaped to West Germany between 1945 and 1961, most of them through the 'loophole' of Berlin, as the GDR gradually strengthened its borders and restricted travel for its citizens. This was nearly a fifth of GDR’s population, and predominantly the youngest, most dynamic and best-educated class. Moscow was not pleased, and the future Soviet leader Yury Andropov chided the GDR leadership for not being able to “speak the language of the intelligentsia. ”2. 50,000 Berliners – known as Grenzgängers – crossed each day to work in the West, receiving larger salaries, while living in subsidized housing, and not contributing to the Eastern economy. Yet that wasn’t the biggest loophole. Due to its power to purchase a wider range of consumer goods, the Western Deutsche mark was worth four to six times as much as the Eastern Deutsche mark."

It was there that on June 12, 1987, Reagan uttered the most famous words of his presidency and perhaps the entire Cold War: “Mr. Gorbechev, tear down this wall.” He was of course talking about the Berlin Wall, which did indeed come crumbling down two years later, taking with it the entire Soviet Empire. ADVERTISEMENTFor Reagan, the speech was 20 years in the making. As early as 1967 when Ronald Reagan was Governor of California, he began asking for the destruction of the wall. In a debate with Senator Robert Kennedy, he said, “it would be very admirable, if the Berlin Wall, which was built in direct contravention to a treaty, should disappear. ”Fast forward to 1986. Negotiations from the Reykjavik Summit had stalled and Gorbachev noted after visiting the Berlin Wall that “At the Brandenburg Gate, one can clearly see how much strength and true heroism the defense of the first socialist state on German soil requires against the attacks of the class enemy. ”Reagan was undeterred. He was anxious to make a statement that would echo throughout the West and reverberate behind prison gates in the East."

The Soviet Union took control of the Eastern half of Germany, the Western half was divided amongst the US, Great Britain, and France. Like the rest of the country, the capital city of Berlin, sitting dead in the middle of the Soviet-controlled Eastern half, was also divided into four parts, one half being Soviet controlled, and the rest divided amongst the others. A four-power provisional government, called the Allied Control Council, was installed in Berlin. This union of governments was to control and rebuild the city of Berlin. By 1948, it became apparent that the Western Powers (Great Britain, France, and US) plan to rebuild Germany differed from the Soviet Union's plan. Currency, German Unification, Soviet War reparations, and mere ideology were among the many differences the two sides had. There would be no compromise. As a result, Stalin wanted them out of Berlin. In early 1948, tensions between the once former Allies climaxed."

It occurs in international politics, foreign policy, labour relations, and (in contemporary settings) military strategy involving the threat of nuclear weapons, and high-stakes litigation. This maneuver of pushing a situation with the opponent to the brink succeeds by forcing the opponent to back down and make concessions. This might be achieved through diplomatic maneuvers by creating the impression that one is willing to use extreme methods rather than concede. During the Cold War, the threat of nuclear force was often used as such an escalating measure.

[ 1] In an article written in Life Magazine, John Foster Dulles then defined his policy of brinkmanship as \"\"The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art.\"\" [ 2] [3] During the Cold War, this was used as a policy by the United States to coerce the Soviet Union into backing down militarily. Eventually, the threats involved might become so huge as to be unmanageable at which point both sides are likely to back down."

Nov. 9 marks the 25th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin Wall, the iconic barrier that completely enclosed West Berlin from 1961 to 1989 and symbolized the height of Cold War tensions. Around the world, the international German community and others are marking the milestone with celebrations and shared memories. In Germany, artists have recreated the Wall with illuminated white balloons along the path that the structure once traced. The 8,000 balloons stretch more than nine miles across the city, according to the German embassy in London. With the anniversary putting the Cold War fresh in most people's minds, here are nine facts about the Berlin Wall that may be new to you:• A mistake helped lead to the fall of the Wall. The flood of East Germans and West Germans to the Wall, which led to its ultimate collapse, came after East German Politburo member Guenther Schabowski on Nov. 9, 1989, mistakenly announced that East Germans would be allowed to cross into West Germany effective immediately, according to National Public Radio.• What the world saw as the Berlin Wall was actually two concrete barriers with a 160-yard \"\"death strip\"\" in between that included watchtowers, trenches, runs for guard dogs, flood lights and trip-wire machine guns, according to History.com.• Parts of the Wall are on display or in private safekeeping all over the world. One section of the Wall is in a men's room of the Main Street Casino in Las Vegas, History.com reports. Urinals are mounted on the graffiti-covered segment, which is protected by glass. Another section is in the gardens of the Vatican."

By Stav Ziv On 11/11/14 at 11:13 AMA piece of the Berlin Wall, which has been on display at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library and Museum since 1990, is seen in Simi Valley, California, on September 16, 2014. Lucy Nicholson/Reuters Share World Germany Cold War Berlin Wall Sunday, November 9, was the 25th anniversary of the “fall” of the Berlin Wall, marking the beginning of the end of a divided Germany. Less than a year later, the Federal Republic of Germany and the German Democratic Republic, better known as West and East Germany, respectively, would sign the Unification Treaty that joined the two together again. The wall was a more complicated barrier than its name implied, with guards, fences and open areas full of land mines—as much a psychological divide as it was a physical one. At 96 miles long, with an average height of 11.8 feet, according to the Cold War Museum, the wall did not come down in one fell swoop. Nor did it just disappear, or get moved to a single museum, or end up preserved as one monument. Pieces of the wall can be seen today not only in Berlin but all around the world. “The wall was such an ugly scar in the city of Berlin,” Konrad Jarausch, a history professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, tells Newsweek. It turned West Berlin into “an island in a Communist sea,” he says, and there was a lot of pressure on Germany to get rid of it."

The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls, which circumscribed a wide area (later known as the \"\"death strip\"\") that contained anti-vehicle trenches, \"\" fakir beds\"\" and other defenses. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the \"\"will of the people\"\" in building a socialist state in East Germany. In practice, the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that marked Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period. The Berlin Wall was officially referred to as the \"\" Anti-Fascist Protection Rampart\"\" ( German: Antifaschistischer Schutzwall) by GDR authorities, implying that neighbouring West Germany had not been fully de-Nazified. The West Berlin city government sometimes referred to it as the \"\" Wall of Shame\"\"—a term coined by mayor Willy Brandt—while condemning the Wall's restriction on freedom of movement. Along with the separate and much longer Inner German border (IGB) that demarcated the border between East and West Germany, both borders came to symbolize the \"\" Iron Curtain \"\" that separated Western Europe and the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War."

"text": "Getty Images2016The World Is Full of Walls That Don’t Work Why would Donald Trump want to build another one? By MICHAEL DEARAugust 16, 2016Facebook Twitter Google +Email Comment Print Across the world, building walls has become the political strategy favored by nations convinced that barriers are the only way to deal with difficult neighbors. In some regions, walls are used to claim territory; in others, they are used to separate warring factions; in yet others, they are meant to keep the unwanted out. Donald Trump shares this view. The centerpiece of his presidential platform from the beginning has been building a wall between Mexico and the United States to stop illegal immigration, getting Mexico to pay for the concrete structure, and outlawing amnesty for immigrants already in the U. S. without documentation. ( He presents this as a new initiative, without mentioning that the U. S. has just completed building 651 miles of fencing and walls along our southern border. ) But what Trump doesn’t understand—ironic, for someone so preoccupied with “winning”—is that building walls between nations is an utter failure of the geopolitical imagination. Walls are a blunt instrument of diplomacy. At best, they offer temporary respite from deeper tensions which usually remain unresolved by separation. At worst, walls can exacerbate the problems they were intended to solve."

While that may be true in certain instances, there always seem to be new, jaw-dropping findings just waiting to be discovered, proving how little we actually know. Take Hitler’s bunker for example—it is considered common knowledge that Hitler died in his personal Berlin bunker on April 30, 1945. But was that really everything that happened? And what about Hitler’s other, personal collection of bunkers that were kept hidden for decades? Read on to learn more about Hitler’s underground secrets. The Last Days of War Rewind to January 16, 1945. Hitler moved into his new “housing arrangements” in the air-raid shelter in Berlin, Germany. This bunker was called the Führerbunker and would serve as a final place of refuge for him, his dog Blondi and girlfriend Eva Braun, as well as senior staff members Martin Bormann and Joseph and Magda Goebbels, joined by their six children. There was also a team of about 30 nurses residing in the bunker, one of which was Johanna Ruf who would only speak out about Hitler’s last days 70 years later."

"text": "\"The Berlin Wall Duncan Rhodes5 min read 729 comments Construction began on The Berlin Wall early in the morning of Sunday, August 13, 1961. It was a desperate - and effective - move by the GDR (German Democratic Republic) to stop East Berliners escaping from the Soviet-controlled East German state into the West of the city, which was then occupied by the Americans, British and French. Berlin's unique situation as a city half-controlled by Western forces, in the middle of the Soviet Occupation Zone of Germany, made it a focal point for tensions between the Allies and the Soviets and a place where conflicting ideologies were enforced side-by-side. However, as more and more people in the Soviet-controlled East grew disillusioned with communism and the increasingly oppressive economic and political conditions, an increasing number began defecting to the West. By 1961 an estimated 1,500 people a day were fleeing to the West, damaging both the credibility and - more importantly - the workforce of the GDR. Soon rumours began to spread about a wall, and it wasn't long after that those rumours were made a concrete reality. In a masterfully-planned operation, spanning just 24 hours, the streets of Berlin were torn up, barricades of paving stones were erected, tanks were gathered at crucial places and subways and local railway services were interrupted, so that within a day the West of Berlin was completely sealed off from the East. As of that same day inhabitants of East Berlin and the GDR were no longer allowed to enter the West of the city (including the 60,000 who had been commuters). In response to international criticism that such drastic measures inevitably drew, the GDR claimed that the barricade had been raised as an 'anti-fascist protection wall', and that they had moved to prevent a third world war. The version of the 'Wall' that started life in 1961, was in fact not a wall but a 96 miles barbed wire fence."

When explorers, early trappers and hunters and gold miners visited and settled in Colorado, the state was populated by American Indian nations. Westward expansion brought European settlers to the area and Colorado's recorded history began with treaties and wars with Mexico and American Indian nations to gain territorial lands to support the transcontinental migration.

Answered by The Wiki Answers ®Community Answers.com ® is making the world better one answer at a time. Colorado Became a State August 1, 1876 The 1846-1848 war between Mexico and the United States ended in the Treaty of Guadalupe Hidalgo (1848). This treaty required Mexico to surrender huge portions of its land to the United States; southern Colorado was part of the cession. The United States was slow to organize this territory, and present-day Colorado was variously considered part of Texas and the territories of Utah, New Mexico, Nebraska, and Kansas. The impetus for the organization of the Colorado territory was the discovery of gold. On 28 February 1861, the U. S. government organized the Territory of Colorado. ( Colorado City and Golden served as the territory's capital, before Denver was declared the capital in 1867.) Colorado became a state on 1 August 1876."

"text": "A condensed and updated version of our FAQ in PDF form, suitable for downloading, photocopying, and distribution, can be found here: What is solitary confinement? Solitary confinement is the practice of isolating people in closed cells for 22-24 hours a day, virtually free of human contact, for periods of time ranging from days to decades. As Craig Haney, Professor of Psychology at UC Santa Cruz, testified in support of Ashker v Brown: “‘ Solitary confinement’ and ‘isolated confinement’ are terms of art in correctional practice and scholarship. For perhaps obvious reasons, total and absolute solitary confinement—literally complete isolation from any form of human contact—does not exist in prison and never has. Instead, the term is generally used to refer to conditions of extreme (but not total) isolation from others. ”Few prison systems use the term “solitary confinement,” instead referring to prison “segregation” or placement in “restrictive housing.” As this may be done for punitive, disciplinary or purportedly protective reasons, the names may vary. Whatever the terminology, the practice entails a deliberate effort to limit social contact for a determinate or indeterminate period of time. In California, long-term solitary confinement units are referred to as Security Housing Units (SHUs); in New York, the same acronym stands for Special Housing Units. In Oregon, the long-term isolation units are called Intensive Management Units (IMUs), while in Pennsylvania they are called Restricted Housing Units (RHUs)."

As Other Democrats Fall, Colorado Governor Goes From Angst to Relief By JACK HEALY NOV. 5, 2014Slide Show | 8 Photos Hickenlooper Holds On in Colorado Matthew Staver for The New York Times DENVER — It was getting late on election night, and Gov. John W. Hickenlooper was trailing. Colorado’s senior United States senator, Mark Udall, had already conceded defeat, and other Democratic politicians were falling here and across the country. Political allies reported encouraging signs — long lines at college-town polling sites, strong support in Colorado’s suburban counties — but it was never supposed to be this close for Mr. Hickenlooper, a governor who had cast himself as a moderate, pro-energy Democrat at the helm of a growing Western economy. “I feel nervous at every moment,” Mr. Hickenlooper, watching results roll in, said in a hotel room above Denver’s newly refurbished Union Station, his tie loosening with each passing hour. “ I feel nervous at every moment. ”By Wednesday morning, thousands of late votes from the Democratic bastions of Denver and Boulder had reversed the gap, giving Mr. Hickenlooper a narrow win that defied a wave of Republican victories in races for governor in usual Democratic strongholds like Maryland, Massachusetts and Illinois. His victory over his Republican challenger, the former congressman Bob Beauprez, also staved off a rout of Democrats in Colorado, a state where Democrats have flourished in recent years. Representative Cory Gardner decisively beat Mr. Udall to become the first Colorado Republican elected to the Senate in more than a decade, and Representative Mike Coffman, a Republican, handily rebuffed a Democratic challenge in a district that had been redrawn to include many immigrants. That Mr. Beauprez, a banker and bison rancher who lost his last bid for governor by 17 points, had come so close to beating Mr. Hickenlooper offered a warning to Democrats about the precariousness of power in a swing state that has embraced legal marijuana but roundly rejected tax increases to fund schools."

If you're unfamiliar with geologic time terminology and abbreviations, take that detour now. With over 50 million modern human lifetimes elapsed since the planet formed around 4.5 Ga, geologic or deep time is, to say the least, difficult to grasp. But the effort pays, for with a feel for deep time comes a sense of its great power: Given enough time, almost anything energetically possible can happen—even at very large scales. And so it goes with the bending of seemingly rigid rocks, the cutting of majestic canyons, the raising and erasing of entire mountain ranges, the opening and closing of globe-girdling oceans, and the incessant splitting and regrouping of the dancing continents. Easy Does It Our usually reliable day-to-day sensibilities tell us that such things can't happen, but they can and do happen because solid rock reveals its malleability only over time scales very long compared to human events—typically in spans of tens of thousands if not millions of years. Given enough time, cold surface rock will yield to flowing water and buried rock will bend or even flow rather than break. The planet's had ample time for all of this, even if it's out of our ken."

The qualifications necessary to be considered highly qualified were prescribed by NCLB and included requirements for minimum education, teacher licensure, and subject matter competency. These requirements in NCLB have been replaced by the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2001. The ESSA now defers teacher qualification requirements in Title I programs to applicable State law. Colorado Law Colorado law ( C. R.

Waivers are not applicable to Special Education teacher qualification requirements. Data and Reporting The Colorado Department of Education (CDE) annually collects data from local education agencies (LEAs) through the Human Resources Data Pipeline Snapshot to ensure compliance with the above described Federal and State requirements. Percentages of classes taught by teachers who meet these requirements are reported to the United States Department of Education (USDE) in aggregate.

Throughout the early part of the Twentieth century the philosophy and tactics of the Industrial Workers of the World were frequently in direct conflict with those of the American Federation of Labor (forerunner of the AFL-CIO) concerning the best ways to organize workers, and how to best improve the society in which they toiled. The AFL had one guiding principle—\"\"pure and simple trade unionism\"\", often summarized with the slogan \"\" a fair day's pay for a fair day's work .\"\" [ 1] The IWW embraced two guiding principles, fighting like the AFL for better wages, hours, and conditions, but also promoting an eventual, permanent solution to the problems of strikes, injunctions, bull pens, and union scabbing. [ 2]The AFL and the IWW (whose members are referred to as Wobblies) had very different ideas about the ideal union structure. While the AFL primarily organized workers into their respective crafts, the IWW was created as an industrial union – placing all workers in a factory, mine, mill, or other place of business into the same industrial organization. The IWW also promotes the class-based concept of One Big Union. The IWW was formed by militant unionists, socialists, anarchists, and other labor radicals who believed that the great mass of workers are exploited by, and are in an economic struggle with, an employing class. The IWW employed a great diversity of tactics aimed at organizing all workers as a class, seeking greater economic justice on the job and, ultimately, the overthrow of the wage system which they believe is most responsible for keeping workers in subjugation."

The train was on its regular run from the Victor stamp mill to Denver, Co. The four train robbers were killed shortly thereafter in a running gunfight with pursuing lawmen, but none of the gold was recovered. Posse members made a rough search of the area at the time, but there was no sign of the stolen gold. For years afterward, prospectors and treasure hunters searched for the hidden loot, but it has never been reported found. Midland Train leaving gold district 1897Virginia Dale Stage Station I n 1863, a stagecoach along the Overland Trail carrying an army payroll of $60,000 (which would be about $1 million dollars today) in ten and twenty dollar gold coins was destined for Fort Sanders in Wyoming Territory. The gold shipment represented several months of back pay for the soldiers at Fort Sanders; however, the unfortunate soldiers never saw the gold. Only about a mile from the Virginia Dale Station, the stage was robbed by six masked outlaws at Long View Hill. The gang took the strongbox from the stage and headed west towards the wooded foothills, where they blew the lock off of the box, removed the gold coins, and buried the treasure. However, before they could spend their ill-gained wealth, the bandits were pursued and killed by the U. S. Cavalry. The Cavalry later found the iron strong box in a nearby creek, the sides and bottom gone, riddled with bullet holes – and, obviously, empty. The Overland Trail stage line was regularly terrorized by outlaws, where the surrounding area provided multiple opportunistic hideouts."

"text": "By Bill Mc Keever The practice of plural marriage had been the center of controversy for Joseph Smith and his fledgling church ever since rumors began circulating about an extra marital affair he had while living in Kirtland, Ohio. According to George D. Smith: Rumors about Smith’s extramarital relationships with women had circulated for a decade before his 1841 plural marriage and the revelation sanctioning polygamy, recorded in 1843. The story repeated most often involved Fanny Alger, a young woman whom Smith employed in Kirtland, Ohio, in 1835 to help his wife Emma with housework. Several Mormon leaders claim that Fanny Alger was Smith’s first plural wife. (“ Nauvoo Roots of Mormon Polygamy,” Dialogue, Vol.27, No.1, p.5-6. ) Accusations about Smith’s “marriages” to approximately thirty other women, at least ten of whom were simultaneously married to other living men (see Bushman, Rough Stone Rolling, p. 439, and Compton, In Sacred Loneliness, p. 15), were met with adamant denials by Smith. Denials of his affairs to Smith’s wife Emma and to his church members, did little to remove the suspicions. As George D. Smith notes, “Although Joseph Smith met his death at the hands of outsiders, it was internal dissent, precipitated by polygamy, which brought him to the Carthage jail in June 1844.”Plural marriage continued to be practiced long after the Mormons left Illinois in 1847 for the Salt Lake Valley. In 1852 its significance in Mormon theology was announced publicly at a special session of Conference – Brigham Young giving the “honor” of making the announcement to Mormon Apostle Orson Pratt, a staunch defender of “the principle. ”Disdain for plural marriage led to its becoming a key component in the platform of the newly formed Republican Party."

At first consideration, it would seem the question could be cautiously answered, Probably. ( As a side note, I'm sure the point at which corporations get towns and cities to rename themselves after their products is not too far away, small price to pay for a new library, more patrol cars, to where Boulder might become known as Men's Wearhouse, Colorado, much like I'm confident the day is near where we'll all be renamed after commercial products, and I'll be known, against my will, as Microsoft CNN Mc Donald's, after which, all uprisings quelled, and not as many uprisings as you might expect, parts of our bodies will get new names, and we won't get tennis elbow anymore, we'll get tennis Blockbuster). But then, reflecting, I thought, maybe this is one of those cases where the obvious answer is wrong. Maybe the town was named after, for example, John Boulder.

Her companion, Dodi Fayed, and the driver of the Mercedes S280, Henri Paul, were pronounced dead at the scene. A fourth passenger in the car, bodyguard Trevor Rees-Jones, was seriously injured but survived. Although the media blamed the behaviour of the paparazzi who followed the car, a French judicial investigation in 1999 found that the crash was caused by Henri Paul, who lost control of the Mercedes at high speed while he was intoxicated and under the effects of prescription drugs. Paul was the deputy head of security at the Hôtel Ritz at the time of the crash and had goaded the paparazzi waiting outside the hotel earlier. [ 1] His inebriation may have been made worse by anti-depressants and traces of an anti-psychotic in his body.

"text": "Christopher Bradley, studied at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona Answered Dec 26, 2016 · Author has 239 answers and 644.3k answer views Like other’s have said; Diana died in a perfect example of physics that a body in motion tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an outside force. Well, her body was traveling inside a car at around 65 mph. That car abruptly decelerated when it hit a pillar head on inside a tunnel, and unfortunately her body still traveling at speed continued along the same path until stopped. If she had been wearing a seat belt, this would have stopped her body in a more controlled manner. Not wearing one, she slammed into the two front seats with reports of her head between the two front seats. These seats are more than likely what stopped her movement. So what happened from this abrupt stop? Well, according the the autopsy report she sustained blunt chest and head trauma at the time of the accident; but was still alive. Amazingly enough, medical personnel did arrive on the scene fairly quickly, however that might actually have been to her disadvantage. The French SAMU physician started an intravenous drip of Versed and fentanyl (about 80 times more power than morphine) to calm her."

She was known as the “people’s princess,” until tragically, she was killed in a car accident in 1997 that would lead to questions of: What made Princess Diana such an influential person? Why did 2.5 billion people view her funeral? How did she change the way her country viewed social issues that for centuries were seen as undesirable? Princess Diana is the epitome of a servant leader. A “great leader is seen as a servant first, and the simple fact is the key to her greatness. What she is deep down inside” (Greenleaf, 19). In her effort to serve others, Princess Diana brought awareness of AIDS research and hunger awareness in impoverished countries, showed empathy towards people with leprosy when it was still seen as an untouchable disease, and fought against the use of land mines. She exhibited the core traits of a servant leader, such as listening, empathy, healing, awareness, persuasion, conceptualization, foresight, stewardship, commitment to the growth of people and building community (Sendjaya, 57)."

The phrase fitted perfectly, especially at a time when the world was shocked by the sudden death of this beautiful and iconic young woman, who was famous due to her association with the Royal family yet she was set apart from the royals too. Diana herself had previously said she wanted to be known as \"\"The Queen of Hearts\"\" and until Blair made his speech, people were leaving tributes to \"\"The Queen of Hearts\"\". However, \"\"the People's Princess\"\" was far more dignified and better taste. More than a century earlier, Princess Charlotte, daughter of the then Prince of Wales (later George IV) was also known as the People's Princess, for similar reasons. With her aged and dazed grandfather on the throne and her obese and corrupt father next in line to be king, Charlotte was young, bright and active, making her extremely popular with the British people who looked forward to the day she would be their next queen. She died tragically in childbirth when she was very young, and the people grieved for her with similar intensity as they grieved for Diana.6k Views · View Upvoters Your response is private.

What is set to unfold one year from now, on August 21st 2017, is a total solar eclipse that will affect both the White House and Buckingham Palace. In your own life, the typical cover-up that an eclipse brings will affect you personally or at a distance. If your birth chart is directly affected, then there will be a shadowy or shady person/situation which is not as clear and bright as it should be!

The 8 pound 6 ounce Prince of Cambridge was born on July 22, 2013. For our purposes, it's interesting that his dad was present at the birth. It is not ground-breaking, though, as Prince Charles was the first to break with tradition and attend William's birth in 1982. Charles' dad, Prince Philip, played squash in another part of Buckingham Palace during Charles' birth, but men did not typically attend their children's birth at the time. When William married Kate Middleton three years ago, I wrote extensively about past British royal births of the 20th century, which you can see in my archives from late April of 2011.

"text": "\"Diana phoned Camilla in the middle of the night and said: 'I sent someone to kill you – and they’re outside': Shocking new details of the poison that scarred Harry's childhood - by a top royal biographer By Penny Junor for the Daily Mail Published: 17:53 EDT, 7 September 2014 | Updated: 04:50 EDT, 8 September 20141.4k View comments As he turns 30, a brilliant new book by a top royal biographer exposes the inner torment of Prince Harry. On Saturday, in this exclusive Mail serialisation, Penny Junor revealed his wild binges, tensions with the Middletons and his many flirtations. Today, we uncover the toxic upbringing that shaped his life... Harry and William were just eight and ten when they went on their first holiday without their parents in the summer of 1993, almost two years after Charles and Diana’s very public separation. The recent revelations about their parents had been beyond extraordinary. Squidgygate, a 30-minute tape recording of Diana having a flirtatious conversation with her lover James Gilbey, had been followed just a few months later by Camillagate. It was an 11-minute tape of their father’s late-night phone ramblings to his mistress which could be distilled to just one thought: the heir to the throne wished that he could always be with the woman he adored and mused on the possibility of turning into a Tampax to achieve it. At the boys’ boarding school, Ludgrove, every effort had been made to ensure that the most lurid headlines were kept out of sight. But there were more than 180 boys at the school aged between seven and 13 and it was impossible to keep it from every one of them. The stress that Harry and William were under is simply unimaginable.

"text": "\"« Prince Philip’s Mum Had a Habit The Queen Mother & The Rogue Kiss »Princess Diana: The Shrine at Harrods July 4, 2010 by Lisa Waller Rogers Princess Diana and lover Dodi Al Fayed in the summer of 1997.“The more I hear and read and think about Diana’s and Dodi’s deaths in the Pont d’Alma tunnel, in Paris, on August 31, 1997, in what is possibly the world’s most famous car crash, the more I doubt the truth of their great romance. If it was anything at all, it was a flirt, a fling…. Like the conspiracy theory surrounding their deaths, their romance, too, was orchestrated by Mohamed Al Fayed [Dodi’s father]. The shrine to the eternal love of Dodi and Diana, in Harrods, the most famous of English department stores, owned by Al Fayed [until May 2010], is a popular tourist attraction. People line up to look at it. They speak in whispers, as if they were in church….“The shrine, which is tacky but curiously touching, consists of a fountain, two large portraits—one of Dodi and one of Diana—and floor-lamp-size candles, the scent of lilies in the air. Under a glass pyramid is a crystal glass from which one of them had drunk champagne in the Imperial Suite of the Ritz Hotel just before they died, and the so-called engagement ring, which Dodi had bought that afternoon at the jewelry shop down the street from the Ritz. Diana never wore it. They had been romantically involved with each other for less than a month. Harrods shrine for Princess Diana & Dodi Fayed. Harrods' former owner, Mohamed Al Fayed, is Dodi's father."

Princes request special prayers for Diana Diana, Princess of Wales, remembered The editors of The Sun, Daily Mirror and News of the World have conceded that they had helped create an atmosphere in which the paparazzi, who were chasing Diana when her car crashed in a Paris underpass, were out of control. Phil Hall, who was editor of the News of the World, said it was a circle of culpability involving the readers who demanded more photographs, the photographers who chased her and the newspapers that published the pictures. \"\" A big Diana story could add 150,000 sales. So we were all responsible,\"\" he said. Mr Hall, speaking on the ITV1 documentary Diana’s Last Summer, said: \"\"I felt huge responsibility for what happened and I think everyone in the media did. \"\" If the paparazzi hadn’t been following her the car wouldn’t have been speeding and, you know, the accident may never have happened. \"\" He said the princess had often tipped off his newspaper about photo opportunities and invited his executives to lunch at Kensington Palace. \"\" She wanted to try to be on the front foot over her media coverage,\"\" he said. After the death of the princess in Aug 1997, the tabloids said they would ban photographs taken by the paparazzi."

After her sudden death in a Paris car crash on 31 August 1997, he wrote an obituary of the woman who went from being Lady Diana Spencer to the People's Princess for the Daily Mirror's memorial edition. On the 15th anniversary of Diana's death, we publish it online for the first time. I first set eyes on Diana in January, 1978. She was just 16, full of girlish joy - and I was captivated. The pretty teenager was standing close to Prince Charles while he was out shooting pheasants with friends at Sandringham. There was snow all around and the air temperature was well below freezing. But Lady Diana Spencer, as she then was, was full of the joys of spring. She was peering at me and a colleague down a long, tree-lined path through a pair of powerful binoculars. As the binoculars were still attached by a strap to Charles's neck, his head was at a curious angle."

"text": "\"Other Royals 19th January 2013Why Is Prince Edward An Earl, Not A Duke? Guest Posts Royal Central Share Tweet Pin Royal Tourism Telegraph Newspaper Slams Beatrice & Eugenie: “They Make A Laughing Stock Of Us All”Photo Credit: Northern Ireland Office via Flickr In any Royal commentator’s books, the announcement in 1999 that Prince Edward would be made an Earl and not a Duke on his wedding day gave quite a shock. By tradition, male children of the sovereign receive a Dukedom on their wedding day, therefore making their new wife, the Duchess Of X rather than the slightly more confusing ‘HRH Princess Michael of Kent’ as happened for Prince Michael’s wife. Prince Edward is the youngest of the Queen’s children, he is automatically ‘HRH The Prince Edward’ by birth and any other titles come affixed to that. The title of Earl ranks below Duke, below Prince and below Marquess (though Marquess is never used as a Royal title). It is said that Prince Edward chose the title of Earl of Wessex because of its connotations with one of Edward’s favourite films, Shakespeare In Love, in it featured a character with the title of Earl Of Wessex. It could have been worse for Edward and Sophie, he could have been given no title (like the aforementioned Prince and Princess Michael of Kent), making Sophie: ‘Her Royal Highness The Princess Edward’ or in shorter reference, ‘Princess Edward’. But all this still doesn’t answer why Edward wasn’t made a Duke. Even one of The Queen’s grandchildren was made a Duke [of Cambridge], so why not Prince Edward? This was, according to official sources, because one day, when Prince Philip dies, Prince Edward will get the title of Duke Of Edinburgh in order to continue the present Duke’s work."

But quite aside from these, the most profound and lasting difference she made was down to her philanthropic force. Diana was at some point patron of over 100 charities across the globe. Honing her efforts onto helping others after her divorce from Charles, she developed a reputation for working tirelessly on behalf of charitable causes, using her fame to raise awareness of a number of highly important humanitarian issues of the day. “Her overall effect on charity,” according to Stephen Lee, director of the UK Institute of Charity Fundraising Managers, speaking a year after her death, “is probably more significant than any other person's in the 20th century. ”Read more Diana’s death didn’t change the nature of the monarchy Prince Harry says paparazzi took photos of Diana dying in Paris tunnel Revealed: truth about 'mystery car' in Diana guard death 'conspiracy'Princess Diana revealed 'the greatest love I've ever had'It became commonplace to see photos of Diana holding sick young children, hugging vulnerable homeless people and shaking hands with AIDS and HIV sufferers.

We understand that even the most beloved cultural icons are allowed to have flaws, but in some cases, their real personalities actually contradicted the one thing they're now famous for. For example ...5 John Lennon Was an Abusive Asshole Who Hit Women Frank Barratt / Stringer / Getty The Beatles were all about love: They used the word 613 times in their songs, and like 300 of those are probably from John Lennon's \"\"All You Need Is Love\"\" alone. In his solo career, Lennon continued singing about love, but also about peace -- he even spent money putting up billboards with pro-peace messages in cities like London and New York. William H. Alden / Stringer / Getty OK, they didn't spend a lot of time on the design. Many of his fans treat Lennon like a modern day Jesus: He preached peace and love, dressed like a disheveled hippie, died tragically young, and came back four years later with a posthumous album. Just like Jesus. What He Was Really Like: Lennon was a real asshole, especially to the people he was supposed to love the most. While he did write classic peace songs like \"\"Imagine\"\" and \"\"Give Peace a Chance,\"\" keep in mind that he also wrote \"\"I Am the Walrus,\"\" so he did not possess the soundest of minds."

For example, look at this line from One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish:“From there to here, and here to there,funny things are every where .”Dr. Seuss uses this same kind of rhyming throughout most of his stories, making the lines a lot less boring than ordinary sentences!· A special rhythm…o Rhythm is the word used to describe the beat of the words we hear. The different way we stress the sounds in a sentence or line of a poem can make the words more interesting and make them “flow” together better. Dr. Seuss wrote with a special rhythm called “trisyllabic meter,” which means that every third syllable of his stories is more stressed than the others. For example, read these lines from Yertle the Turtle and Other Stories:“ And to day the Great Yer tle, that Mar velous he Is King of the Mud. That is all he can see. Did you notice how your voice put more emphasis on the bolded parts of the words?"

"text": "Seuss. If you want to pronounce the name the way his family did, say Zoice, not Soose. Seuss is a Bavarian name, and was his mother’s maiden name: Henrietta Seuss’s parents emigrated from Bavaria (part of modern-day Germany) in the nineteenth century. Seuss was also his middle name. Theodor Seuss Geisel — known as “Ted” to family and friends — liked to say that he adopted the name “Dr. Seuss” because he was saving his real name for the Great American Novel he would one day write. But that’s probably not true. When talking to the media, Geisel was more interested in telling a good story than he was in telling a true story. The true story is also a good one, as we learn in Judith and Neil Morgan’s excellent biography Dr. Seuss & Mr. Geisel (the primary source for what you are now reading). During his senior year at Dartmouth College, Ted Geisel and nine of his friends were caught drinking gin in his room. This was the spring of 1925, and the dean put them all on probation for violating the laws of Prohibition."

Whatever I’m freaking out about, I can usually always find a quote to calm me down and get me thinking straight once again. I love it when the best advice comes from the oddest or most unusual places. What comes to mind when you think of Dr. Seuss? Your favorite childhood book? A rhyme about red and blue fish you hadn’t thought about in years? Probably not advice for adults, right? As a kid I couldn’t get enough of these imaginative books (my go-to was Green Eggs and Ham, and at one time I think I had it memorized). But as a six-year-old, I loved the rhymes and the crazy illustrations of his books. It wasn’t until recently that I realized how much more I appreciate Dr. Seuss as an adult than I ever did as a child."

The story centers on a tall anthropomorphic cat, who wears a red and white-striped hat and a red bow tie. The Cat shows up at the house of Sally and her unnamed brother one rainy day when their mother is away. Ignoring repeated objections from the children's fish, the Cat shows the children a few of his tricks in an attempt to entertain them. In the process he and his companions, Thing One and Thing Two, wreck the house. The children and the fish become more and more alarmed until the Cat produces a machine that he uses to clean everything up. He then says his goodbyes and disappears just before the children's mother walks in. Geisel created the book in response to a debate in the United States about literacy in early childhood and the ineffectiveness of traditional primers such as those featuring Dick and Jane."

"text": "\"1977: Elvis is dead - long live the king Elvis Presley died in his Memphis mansion on 16 August 1977, at the age of 42. The iconic status he achieved in his lifetime coupled with a sudden and relatively early death cemented his position as one of the most famous rock stars ever. Most people love a conspiracy theory, and the undisputed king of rock'n'roll has been the subject of more than a few, many of them variations on the theme of his faked death and continuing incognito existence. But even if the music legend is not actually with us in the flesh and blood, his spirit still lives in his music - and the lucrative impersonation industry. Memories of Elvis: My sister and I are Elvis fans, I was returning from a night-fishing trip on August 16th 1977, in my dad's car. It was around 0600 when I turned the radio on to hear Elvis on Radio Luxemburg the DJ was in tears as he re-stated the news that Elvis had died. As soon as I got home I awoke my sister to tell her. We spent the rest of the day glued to the radio and television. All night vigils and movie shows followed then and now, and our love for the man has grown every day since. We were 14 and 16 then."

He is regarded by some to be the most important, original entertainer of the last fifty years and there is little doubt that Presley is the most talked about and written about musician of the 20th Century. ( Presley's birth certificate uses the spelling Aron, but his estate has designated Aaron as the official spelling of his middle name. ) Presley started as a singer of rockabilly, singing many songs from rhythm and blues, gospel and country. He was first billed as \"\"The Hilbilly Cat\"\". His combination of country music with bluesy vocals and a strong back beat marked a clear path toward rock & roll. He was the most commercially successful singer of rock and roll, but he also had success with ballads, country, gospel, blues, pop, folk and even semi-operatic and jazz standards. His voice, which developed into many voices as his career progressed, had always a unique tonality and an extraordinary unusual center of gravity, leading to his ability to tackle a range of songs and melodies which would be nearly impossible for most other popular singers to achieve."

Elvis Presley Biography Elvis Aaron Presley was born to Vernon and Gladys Presley in a two-room house in Tupelo, Mississippi, on January 8, 1935. His twin brother, Jessie Garon, was stillborn, leaving Elvis to grow up as an only child. Elvis and his parents moved to Memphis, Tennessee, in 1948, and Elvis graduated from Humes High School there in 1953. Elvis' musical influences were the pop and country music of the time, the gospel music he heard in church and at the all-night gospel sings he frequently attended, and the black R&B he absorbed on historic Beale Street as a Memphis teenager. In 1954, Elvis began his singing career with the legendary Sun Records label in Memphis. In late 1955, his recording contract was sold to RCA Victor."

Photo: Reuters The King of Rock 'n' Roll would have turned 82 Sunday, and while nearly everyone agrees that Jan. 8, 1935 is Elvis Presley's birthday, there are still people with doubts about his death. The larger-than-life star's early passing — which allegedly occurred Aug. 16, 1977 after a heart attack — has long inspired conspiracy theories among sleuths who argue Presley is either still alive or didn't die when police say he did. Just last month, a fan theory began circulating online that Elvis appeared in the background of the holiday movie \"\"Home Alone,\"\" which came out in 1990. It cited everything from neck movements to facial hair patterns as evidence. \"\" Either you can choose to believe that The King met his untimely demise 40 years ago at the age of 42, and that his body rests beneath the soil in Memphis, or you can believe that he's still out there, living among us,\"\" reporter Dan Ozzi wrote in his Noisey investigation of the \"\"Home Alone\"\" theory. No matter which side you're on, here are a few factors Elvis fans have identified as confirmation he's still alive:• Police didn't photograph his death scene, as noted in \"\" The Mysteries Surrounding the Death of Elvis Presley . \"\"• Elvis' tombstone has his name listed as \"\"Elvis Aaron Presley,\"\" with two As. That was indeed his name, but earlier in his life the star had used the spelling \"\"Aron,\"\" with one A. Some believe the misspelled memorial indicates it is not truly Elvis who is buried there, according to CSICOP.• People have been spotting men they think are Elvis for years, especially in Kalamazoo, Michigan, where a mother and daughter said they saw the musician at a Burger King in 1988, Michigan Live reported.• A man named Mike Joseph took a picture at Graceland four months after Elvis' death he claimed showed Elvis at a poolhouse."

On August 16, 1977, Ginger Alden found Elvis Presley, the King of Rock 'n' Roll, dead in his bathroom at Graceland Mansion. He was only 42. There was much speculation about how a man so young—though obviously ill -- could just suddenly die. Did Elvis have major surgery that he didn't want the public to know about??? People have speculated about drugs, and a hoaxed death to escape the Mafia, among other reasons. Since Elvis' death, there are people who have made money off of Elvis, by writing books & making documentaries, some even claiming he hoaxed his death. Some even want us to believe that Elvis is still alive now living as Jesse, or lived under other fictitious names. The information in this video proves that Elvis was the body autopsied, so i don't see how Elvis Presley could still be alive. According to Elvis' 1976-77 concert photo's, footage, along with this partial (top portion) document (Postmortem A77-160), it shows that Elvis was gravely ill when he died. Photo's speak louder than words."

The die-hards claim he is still alive; some say a sighting cured their most severe ailments. Many pilgrim to Graceland, the quirky mansion in Memphis where he lived and died, multiple times a year. They come on his birthday, the week of his passing, any time they have vacation days to spare. Graceland attracts an average of 600,000 guests annually.

For years, the man known only as Elvis to the public, has caused world wide confusion concerning his supposed death on August 16, 1977 after entertaining and dazzling the world for over 20 years. Elvis Aaron Presley, did not die on that fateful day. He was only removed from the public eye to continue in his fight against drug use. It had been rumored that he had died from a drug overdose. It is a well known and documented fact that Elvis had always been a strong believer and fighter against communism and drug use. In a meeting with President Richard Nixon on December 20, 1970, Elvis stated his true feelings against drugs and communism, believing that the two were definitely related. At that time, the President appointed him to be a Special Agent in the Bureau of Narcotics and Dangerous Drugs (now known as the Drug Enforcement Agency or DEA). What a perfect way to stage his escape from the limelight and publicity to move into undercover activities to prevent the use of drugs, than to say that he had died from the use of drugs.

Any true fan will know that this visit is more that your average holiday trip - it is rely an experience. Visiting the house of elvis, a person who had enthralled me for over 30 years, was something i had hoped for for many years - never rely expecting to get there. I spent nearly 5 hours at graceland - taking in every detail of every room - it was totally fascinating - seeing the rooms where elvis ate, played and recorded. The museum out back is full of fascinating artifacts - but what stopped me in my tracks was when i came to his graveside - i went cold finding it hard to believe that i was there - standing at the grave of elvis presley. Others passed by - but to them i could see it was just another stop on a tour - to a true elvis fan it was something incredible. To any elvis fan who has ever thought of going - i say just do it - what ever it costs it is worth every cent. While in memphis the sun studios tour is also great - the staff give a real good talk, you get to see everything you want and you dont get rushed out of the place. I took a drive to tupelo next day and again its well worth it - the house and museum are excellent. Just do it - he was and is the king - its the trip of a lifetime.-- Vincent Mc G - Dublin Ireland EVen though the upper le Vel of the house is not open to the public, the lower le Vel & the groun Ds are."

Elvis supplied the resounding answer. A new box set chronicles a momentous year for the man who would be King. By David Mc Gee YOUNG MAN WITH THE BIG BEATElvis Presley RCA/Legacy On November 28, 1955, a week after RCA Victor had bought Elvis Presley’s contract from Sun Records for $35,000, the campaign to promote the artist’s first single began. To introduce Presley as an RCA artist the label was re-pressing and reissuing his final Sun single, “I Forgot To Remember To Forget”/”Mystery Train,” after it was petering out on the national country charts. The promotional campaign for the single included a note to retailers and distributors from John Burgess, Jr., RCA’s manager of sales and promotions in the Single Record Department. Burgess wrote emphatically: “The NAME: Elvis Presley, one that will be your guarantee of sensational plus sales in the months to come!” Given what happened in 1956 and thereafter, Burgess’s restraint is admirable. Elvis and his band--guitarist Scotty Moore, bassist Bill Black and new member D. J. Fontana, the former Louisiana Hayride house drummer who had joined the group in August--supplemented in the studio by Floyd Cramer and Shorty Long on piano, the Jordanaires and gospel stalwarts Ben and Brock Speer, under the guidance of Chet Atkins, had cut their first RCA sessions in January and February 1956 with an eye towards releasing a long playing album along with some new singles. Like their Sun labelmate Carl Perkins, Elvis, Scotty and Bill had become used to seeing not merely young people at their shows, but frantic young people, teenagers largely, whose reaction to their fresh, rhythmically charged music was both electrified and, for the musicians, electrifying."

The system drifted eastward and became a tropical depression later that day and a tropical storm over the northwestern Caribbean on the 16th. Agnes turned northward on June 17 and became a hurricane over the southeastern Gulf of Mexico the next day. A continued northward motion brought Agnes to the Florida Panhandle coast on June 19 as a Category 1 hurricane. Agnes turned northeastward after landfall and weakened to a depression over Georgia. However, it regained tropical storm strength over eastern North Carolina on June 21 and moved into the Atlantic later that day. A northwestward turn followed, and a just-under-hurricane-strength Agnes made a final landfall on the 22nd near New York, New York. The storm merged with a non-tropical low on June 23rd, with the combined system affecting the northeastern United States until the 25th. Agnes was barely a hurricane at landfall in Florida, and the effects of winds and storm surges were relatively minor. The major impact was over the northeastern United States, where Agnes combined with the non-tropical low to produce widespread rains of 6 to 12 inches with local amounts of 14 to 19 inches."

"text": "\"Rebecca Harrington Oct. 23, 2015, 6:28 PM 45,907Hurricane Patricia as seen from space on Oct. 23, 2015. NOAA via Getty Images Hurricane Patricia is making its way toward Mexico as the strongest such storm in history — but it's technically only a Category 5. Its 190-mph wind speeds are much stronger than the hurricane category scale defines; Category 5 storms are simply those above 155 mph. Hal Needham, a hurricane storm surge scientist at Louisiana State University, wrote a blog on WXshift calling Patricia a Category 7 storm, since that's what it would be if the scale were extrapolated up. The category of tropical storm a hurricane is in as it makes landfall actually makes a big difference on the amount of damage it could inflict. It's tough to predict what category Patricia will be as it gets closer to its expected landfall in southwest Mexico. Hurricanes typically lose intensity over time, so their category usually decreases as they get closer to land. But Patricia will likely still be a pretty big storm, considering how big it was when it formed. Needham is even predicting the storm surge could be as high as 16.5 feet. For historical context, Hurricane Katrina reached a Category 5 storm out at sea, but hit New Orleans as a Category 3."

September is the most common month for hurricanes making landfall in the U. S., followed by August and October, according to an analysis of 1851 to 2015 data by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. No hurricanes made U. S. landfall before June and after November during the period studied. The 2017 And 2016 Hurricane Seasons The 2017 Atlantic hurricane season forecast from Colorado State University as updated in August 2017 called for the number of named storms and hurricanes to be above historical averages for the Atlantic Basin. A total of 16 named storms, eight hurricanes and three major hurricanes were predicted for the season. The 30-year average as calculated by Colorado State University is 12 named storms, six hurricanes and two major hurricanes. A major hurricane is one that is Category 3 or stronger on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Wind Scale. Forecasters at the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) predicted in late May 2017 that the 2017 Atlantic hurricane season would likely be above normal, producing 11 to 17 named storms. NOAA’s Climate Prediction Center had said that as many as nine of those storms could become hurricanes (with winds of 74 mph or higher) and up to four could become major hurricanes (with winds of 111 mph or higher). The ninth hurricane, Nate, formed on October 6."

"text": "\"10-23-05Was Katrina the Biggest, the Worst Natural Disaster in U. S. History? Historians/History tags: hurricanes, natural disastersby Normand Forgues-Roy Normand Forgues-Roy is an HNN intern. More than a month after Katrina the death toll appears to have been far lower than expected (1,003 dead as of Oct. 8th, according to the Times Picayune ). Other disasters, of course, have taken a higher toll. But to the media Katrina was the biggest and the most disastrous storm of all time. Worse than Andrew, worse than the 1900 Galveston hurricane, worse than the tsunami of 2004. Historians have been taking part in the effort to measure Katrina by other natural disasters, comparing it with the Galveston storm, the San Francisco earthquake, the big flood of 1927, the hurricane of the Okeechobee in 1928 and the hurricane of 1935. But now that the winds have died down, let’s have a closer look. How does Katrina measure up? In an email interview with HNN, Erik Larson, author of Isaac's Storm, stated that probably 10,000 people died in the Galveston hurricane, making it the deadliest hurricane in US history--and obviously deadlier than Katrina."

Taking aim at Central Florida’s Atlantic coast, Hurricane Matthew intensified Thursday into a Category 4 storm with winds of at least 140 miles per hour and strengthening. The storm was blamed for the deaths of more than 280 people in Haiti. “Extremely dangerous, life-threatening weather conditions are forecast in the next 24 hours,” the National Weather Service warned Thursday afternoon. “ Airborne debris lofted by extreme winds will be capable of breaching structures, unprotected windows and vehicles. ”Slide Show | 11 Photos Hurricane Matthew Pushes Toward Florida Max Reed for The New York Times Residents were streaming away from coastal regions, jamming highways, after Gov.

The Atlantic Hurricane season officially begins on June 1 each year and continues through November 30th. Though hurricanes and storms as part of the ‘Florida Hurricane Season,’ especially in the Orlando area tend to be more prevalent in August and September. This more aggressive time frame has been noted in an old mariner’s poem that was first published in 1898: June- too soon. July– stand by! August– look out you must. September– remember. October, all over. Do Hurricanes ever hit Orlando? Most hurricanes loose strength as they start to travel over land."

It depicts a 1960 road trip around the United States made by Steinbeck, in the company of his standard poodle, Charley. Steinbeck wrote that he was moved by a desire to see his country on a personal level, since he made his living writing about it. He wrote of having many questions going into his journey, the main one being, \"\"What are Americans like today?\"\" However, he found that he had concerns about much of the \"\"new America\"\" he witnessed. Steinbeck tells of traveling throughout the United States in a specially made camper he named Rocinante, after Don Quixote 's horse. His travels start in Long Island, New York, and roughly follow the outer border of the United States, from Maine to the Pacific Northwest, down into his native Salinas Valley in California, across to Texas, up through the Deep South, and then back to New York. Such a trip encompasses nearly 10,000 miles. According to Thom Steinbeck, the author's oldest son, the real reason for the trip was that Steinbeck knew he was dying and wanted to see his country one last time. The younger Steinbeck has said he was surprised that his stepmother allowed his father to make the trip; his heart condition meant he could have died at any time. ["

Long Island contains four counties, of which the western two are boroughs ( Queens and Brooklyn) of New York City, and the other two ( Nassau and Suffolk) are mainly suburban. Contents [ hide ]1 Geology2 Climate2.1 Temperatures2.2 Winter weather2.3 Severe weather3 See also4 References Geology [ edit]The East River, highlighted in red here, separates Long Island from Manhattan Island and from the mainland. Long Island, as part of the Outer Lands region, is formed largely of four spines of glacial moraine, with a large, sandy outwash plain northwesternward, towards its barrier islands and the Atlantic Ocean. These moraines consist of gravel and loose rock left behind during the two most recent pulses of Wisconsin glaciation some 21,000 years ago (19,000 BC). The northern moraine, which directly abuts the North Shore of Long Island at points, is known as the Harbor Hill moraine. The more southerly moraine, known as the Ronkonkoma moraine, forms the \"\"backbone\"\" of Long Island; it runs primarily through the very center of Long Island, roughly coinciding with the length of the Long Island Expressway. The land to the south of this moraine to the South Shore is the outwash plain of the last glacier. Part of this, known as the Hempstead Plains, supported one of the few natural prairies to exist east of the Appalachian Mountains. [ 1]The glaciers melted and receded to the north, resulting in the difference between the North Shore beaches and the South Shore beaches."

From a damage standpoint strong hurricanes are devasting and can be life changers. Yet there are days of advance warning for hurricanes----many advisories are given as are evacuation orders. If you are a logical person you heed the warnings and move on to safe ground. With devasting tornadoes one usually may have 15-20 minutes of warning if you are fortunate."

The two seasons can really be summed up by saying one is hot and one is dry. Due to the city's proximity to the Tropic of Cancer and its low elevation, it is generally fairly warm all year around – boasting an average annual temperature of 22.4°C. Orlando is affected by the Gulf Stream current, which is a powerful Atlantic Ocean current that causes warmer waters to be brought up from the tropics and creates milder winter temperatures than the rest of the south east of the United States during the same period. Orlando has a sub-tropical climate, which is warm and humid. Morning humidity stays at above 85% all year round with humidity at its highest during June to October."

[ 5] At the time, Port Charlotte was not a coastal area; [5] the peninsula of Florida was much wider than it is today and much drier. As the ice melted, the sea level rose and Florida assumed the shape and climate it has today and the Paleo-Indians gave way to the Calusa, the \"\"shell people.\"\" The Calusa thrived on the southwest Florida coast and numbered over 50,000 when the first Spaniards reached the peninsula in the 16th century. [ 6] The arrival of the Europeans was devastating to the Calusa, as diseases such as smallpox and measles decimated the population. Eventually the Seminole would arrive from points to the north and establish themselves on the peninsula. ["

Charley developed from a tropical wave that moved off the coast of Africa on August 4, 2004. The wave moved rapidly across the Atlantic Ocean, and developed steadily. On 9 August while located 185 km (115 mi) south-southeast of Barbados, the system strengthened to become a tropical depression. It continued into the Caribbean Sea and became Tropical Storm Charley the next day. A strong ridge of high pressure caused the storm to turn northwest as it became Hurricane Charley on 11 August, about 145 km (90 mi) south of Kingston, Jamaica. The hurricane intensified to Category 2 strength after passing 24 km (15 mi) northeast of Grand Cayman Island. The hurricane further strengthened to Category 3 status just before making landfall over western Cuba early on 13 August with sustained winds of 193 km/h (120 mph). The hurricane crossed the island, passing 19 km (12 mi) west of downtown Havana. Hurricane Charley (right) following Tropical Storm Bonnie (left) into the Gulf of Mexico."

"text": "\"From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Main articles: Tampa, Florida; St. Petersburg, Florida; and Tampa Bay Area Landsat 8 image of Tampa Bay Region The Tampa Bay area has a humid subtropical climate (Köppen Cfa ). There are two basic seasons in the Tampa Bay area, a hot and wet season from May through October, and a mild and dry season from November through April. Nearly two-thirds of the annual precipitation falls in the months of June through September. The area is listed by the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) as being in hardiness zone 10, which is about the northern limit of where coconut palms and royal palms can be grown. Highs usually range between 65 and 95 °F (18 and 35 °C) year round. Tampa's official high has never reached 100 °F (38 °C) – the city's all-time record temperature is 99 °F (37 °C). St. Petersburg's all-time record high is exactly 100 °F (38 °C). [ 1]Pinellas County lies on a peninsula between Tampa Bay and the Gulf of Mexico, and much of the city of Tampa lies on a smaller peninsula jutting out into Tampa Bay. This proximity to large bodies of water both moderates temperatures and introduces large amounts of humidity into the atmosphere. In general, the local communities farthest from the coast have larger temperature ranges, both during a single day and throughout the seasons of the year. ["

Estimated repair time - 1 to 2 weeks - Estimated cost $1200Thursday, May 13 - Fifth wheel delivered to Marks RVTuesday, May 17 - Insurance adjuster called and said he would issue a check for repairs - indicated that if there were any additional repairs he would handle those as well - Estimate repair now at $2900 +Weds., May 26 - Called to check if parts had arrived and they had not arrived yet Weds, May 26 - Called Carriage to get the status of parts, date ordered and date shipped. Order received on May 19, but not shipped till May 26, via Fed Ex Tuesday, June 1 - Called Marks RV - parts had just arrived - holiday weekend - going to begin work the next day Thursday, June 3 - Called to request that they check the batteries as it had been on shore power there and the older Converter would charge the batteries and cause the water level to go down. Was assured, twice, that they would do so Monday, June 7 - Called to find out that the wrong parts were either ordered or delivered - no one would take the blame for this. Monday, June 7 - After a call to Marks RV we decided to drive down and see what was happening .. attempting to find out when the new rollers (hopefully the correct ones this time) would arrive ...... Parts person was complacent and not cooperative in giving us an answer .... I lost it and after repeated attempts finally persuaded her to call Carriage and get the correct parts on their way, overnight if necessary. Tuesday, June 8 - John, parts manager, called to inform us that there was more extensive damage than first indicated and it would be at least another week for repairs - Needed the insurance adjuster to come back out Thursday, June 10 - Adjuster called said he wrote another check for $1700+ and we asked how long - he indicated another week or so Friday, June 11 - Called Marks RV to get an estimated date of completion - indicated it would be ready next Thursday, Friday at the latest Weds June 16 Called, RV should be done tomorrow Thursday June 17 Got a call late in the afternoon, RV is ready but service shop was closing in an hour so no time to travel there. Friday June 18 Picked up RV - customer service rep was not very cordial and rather terse and rude .... he expected us to sign over the checks without first checking the RV .... we asked to check it out first .... found RV closed up and in parking area, waiting on us to haul it out. Everything appeared ok, except the inside smelled very bad and the service manager accused us of having cats in there - we do not nor did we! Note : This seemed to dissipate, thankfully, after a few days and a full bottle of odor eliminator !"

"text": "\"What Actually Happened to John F. Kennedy, Jr.? By Christopher Condon December 27, 2010Donate John Hankey is a long-time investigator who has focused much of his attention on the assassination of President John F. Kennedy in 1963. He produced a documentary setting force his views on that event. Hankey has also turned his attention to the death of John F. Kennedy, Jr. in a plane crash off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts on Friday, July 16, 1999. Hankey has produced a 104-minute DVD documentary entitled The Assassination of John F. Kennedy, Jr. Much as I liked the earlier documentary, I liked this one even better. According to the widely accepted explanation, Kennedy was a reckless pilot whose died because of his own carelessness. But Hankey shows that Kennedy was actually a careful pilot who was most likely the victim of foul play. Persons who are interested in the death of John Kennedy, Jr should watch Hankey's documentary, the basic outline of which I shall summarize here. Hankey takes as his point of departure two overlooked pieces of evidence in the official report that the National Transportation Safety Board published one year after the crash. First, the radar data describing the path of Kennedy's plane showed that just as Kennedy was making his final approach to the Martha's Vineyard Airport, his plane, in the absence of any explosion or engine malfunction, suddenly plunged headfirst into the ocean, falling 2500 feet in 45 seconds."

Updated on November 9, 2014Jackie Jackson more Contact Author The Kennedy family curse Jackie Kennedy & Aristotle Onassis | Source Jacqueline Bouvier married John Kennedy in September of 1953. It’s often said that the Kennedy family was subject to a curse due to the tragedies that befell its members. Only a few of these took place before Jackie and JFK were married; three in fact. Kennedy’s sister Rosemary had been considered educationally challenged. She had appeared to be perfectly normal but it was when she was in young adulthood that her mood swings were particularly troublesome. Her father arranged for her to have a lobotomy. It wasn't a success and she was totally dependent on the care of others for the rest of her life. Joe Junior was JFK’s elder brother and as such, the political hopes of his father rested upon him. However, he was killed when serving in the military in the Second World War."

[ 1] [2] [3] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] While Ted Kennedy publicly wondered whether a \"\"curse actually did hang over all the Kennedys\"\" during his own testimony about the Chappaquiddick incident in 1969, [9] skeptics have argued that many of the events are normal, and it is not improbable that a large extended family would experience them. [ 10] [11]Chronology [ edit]Events that have been cited as evidence of the family's misfortunes include:1941 — Rosemary Kennedy was often believed to have been intellectually disabled, and due to her severe mood swings and the worry that she would damage the Kennedy reputation, [12] her father, Joseph Sr., arranged in secret for her to undergo a lobotomy. The lobotomy instead left her unable to walk or speak well, and as a result, Rosemary remained institutionalized until her death in 2005. [ 4] [5] [6] [13] [14] Rosemary's condition may have inspired her sister, Eunice, to initiate the Special Olympics in 1962. August 12, 1944 — Joseph P.

"text": "The premature death of dozens of icons and pop stars over the past decades has left the world bereft of natural talent, allowing the music and entertainment industry to promote manufactured bands, like Busted or Blue! Plane crashes are a common cause of death for the rich and famous, many more, like Marilyn Monroe or Brian Jones, have died in mysterious circumstances. Rising star Otis Reading was one of the first recording artists to die in an airplane, when he crashed into the ‘Dock of the Bay’ at the tender age of twenty-six. Other legends who met their demise this way include, Jim Reeves, Patsy Cline, Buddy Holly, Ronnie Van Zant and most recently, the young, beautiful and gifted singer, Aaliyah. Political figures also have trouble flying. President Samora Machel perished in an air disaster and Congressman Larry Mc Donald was killed on board Korean Flight 007, shot down by Soviet missiles. The aircraft carrying John F. Kennedy Jr. plunged into the sea at 5,500 ft per minute off Martha’s Vineyard and Senator Paul Wellstone died with his wife and daughter in a plane crash near Minnesota two years ago. The 1970’s saw the loss of enigmatic Jim Morrison of The Doors, raunchy Janis Joplin and the guitar prodigy, Jimi Hendrix, all attributed to the excesses of Rock n’ Roll. Martial art exponent, Bruce Lee died of cerebral edema while making ‘Game of Death’ in 1973 and coincidentally, his son Brandon was killed as the result of a shooting accident on the film set of ‘The Crow. ’By the 1980’s we had witnessed the killing of political activist Steven Biko, the death of wacky ‘Who’ drummer, Keith Moon and the murder of John Lennon."

Eating a Lemon Chill, sipping a Deer Park water and looking casual in a white polo shirt, he might have been easy to overlook, except, as usual, at least a few people quickly noticed. There was the television crew that spotted him and flashed his face to New Yorkers watching the game at home. As always, he looked striking on camera. After the game, two securities traders from Staten Island summoned up the nerve to approach him. \"\" I went down and said, 'John, if I don't get this autograph, my sister will kill me,'\"\" one of them recalls. Without a handy piece of paper, Anthony Hahn offered Kennedy one of the pink printed menus distributed in the box-seat area; with an easy smile, he signed. It was an ordinary evening for John F. Kennedy Jr., and an equally ordinary one for the people who liked to watch him. Yet Kennedy no doubt had a few things on his mind that night."

"text": "\"By Glynnis Mac Nicol Aug 3, 2016On Sunday October 6, 1996, John F. Kennedy Jr. stepped out onto the stoop of his Tribeca loft at 20 North Moore St. and stopped short. It was a perfect fall morning; most of New York City was either sleeping it off, headed to brunch, or reading the Sunday Times. But Kennedy, so often seen flying down the city's streets on his rollerblades, in shorts and a T shirt, was already formally dressed in a sharply cut dark blue suit and red tie. Below him, a crush of journalists and photographers awaited. He was about to attempt the impossible: make an appeal to their better angels. The couple at their wedding on Cumberland Island, Georgia, September 21, 1996Denis Reggie Advertisement - Continue Reading Below Kennedy had already pulled off the impossible fifteen days earlier, when he'd married a woman named Carolyn Bessette in a clandestine ceremony on a tiny island off the coast of Georgia. So few people knew it was happening that when the news broke the next day, many of his family members were caught off guard. On Monday morning, two days after the wedding, a single snapshot of the couple on the steps of the church—Bessette grinning, wearing a Narciso Rodriguez-designed white dress that looked more like a slip than a wedding gown, her face free of makeup; Kennedy kissing her outstretched hand—led news reports around the world. Kennedy hoped to assuage the onslaught of press he'd been exposed to his entire life by facing it head-on. Now, two weeks later, here was America's beloved son, fresh off his Turkish honeymoon, about to officially introduce his new bride to the world."

"text": "10 mistakes JFK Jr. made Lessons from a national tragedy July 5, 2010On July 16, 1999, John Fitzgerald Kennedy Jr. took off from Essex County Airport in Caldwell, New Jersey, at 8:39 p.m. At 9:41 p.m., he crashed his Piper Saratoga into the Atlantic Ocean seven and one-half miles short of his goal, Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, killing himself; his wife, Carolyn; and sister-in-law, Lauren Bessette. Why did this happen and what can we learn from this high-profile crash that will make us all better, safer pilots?1. Get-there-itis. Pilots talk about this common syndrome and some even joke about it. We think it will never happen to us, but it does. We could never be that headstrong, we reason, but we all have felt the urge to get there or, maybe even worse, to get home. Such was the case with Kennedy. He probably believed he had to get there at all costs, because he was flying to his cousin’s wedding and he had promised his sister, Caroline, who was vacationing in Idaho with her family, that he would represent their branch of the Kennedy family at the ceremony in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. Kennedy had also promised his wife Carolyn’s sister, Lauren, that he would drop her off in Martha’s Vineyard on the way—adding one more promise he didn’t want to break, and considerably complicating his flight plan since he would have to fly over open water. Kennedy probably felt responsible for getting there and did not want to disappoint anyone by delaying the flight and missing the wedding.2."

Kennedy's son and his wife and her sister in 1999 plane crash exposed rifts in family Mother of Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy feared bodies of her and sister Lauren would be 'spirited away' by Kennedy family Meeting between Bessette's mother and JFK Jr.'s brother-in-law Ed Schlossberg 'resulted Schlossberg bullying Bessette family'Revelations come from the diary of JFK Jr.'s cousin RFK Jr. By Michael Zennie Published: 09:54 EDT, 3 November 2013 | Updated: 11:41 EDT, 3 November 2013215View comments The plane crash that killed John F. Kennedy Jr., his wife Carolyn Bessette and her sister sparked a feud between the Kennedy family and the heartbroken mother of the Bessettes before the bodies were even found, it was claimed today. Just two days after the plane flown by President John F. Kennedy's son went down in the Atlantic Ocean off Martha's Vineyard in 1999, the Kennedys met with Bessette's mother Ann Freeman and 'bullied her' over the final resting places of the three victims, according to revelations. The accounts of the meeting were taken from JFK Jr.'s cousin - Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - and published in the New York Post. They come from RFK Jr.'s diary, which was given to the Post after they were found at his ex-wife Mary Kennedy's house following her suicide in 2012. Tragic: John F. Kennedy Jr. - the son of President Kennedy - is seen here with wife Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy. The couple died when JFK Jr.'s plane crashed in 1999Buried at sea: The remains of JFK Jr., his wife Carolyn and her sister Lauren were cremated and scattered at sea during a ceremony aboard the Navy destroyer USS Biscoe RFK Jr. writes that on July 18 - before the bodies of JFK Jr. and Carolyn Bessette-Kennedy and Lauren Bessette were recovered - Ann Bessette began asking that her two daughters be buried near her home in Greenwich, Connecticut. ' Ann wants them close by and is terrified that the K family might try to spirit them to Brookline,' RFK Jr. writes. Several Kennedys are buried at Holyhood Cemetary in Brookline, Massachusetts - including patriarch and matriarch Joseph and Rose Kennedy - the parents of President Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy and Senator Ted Kennedy. RELATED ARTICLESPrevious 1 Next'Going to the mall with Mary and kids was a nightmare... I... Pictured for the first time in 25 years: The reclusive widow...
