The majority of diamonds that are mined are in a range of pale yellow or brown color that is termed the normal color range . Diamonds that are of intense yellow or brown , or any other color are called fancy color diamonds . Diamonds that are of the very highest purity are totally colorless , and appear a bright white . The degree to which diamonds exhibit body color is one of the four value factors by which diamonds are assessed . Diamonds have a color grading system that refers to the absence of color . This system goes from D to Z . The more colorless a diamond is , the rarer and more valuable it is because it appears white and brighter to the eye .

In Chinese philosophy , yin yang ( 陰 陽 yīnyáng , lit . `` dark - bright '' , `` negative - positive '' ) describe how seemingly opposite or contrary forces may actually be complementary , interconnected , and interdependent in the natural world , and how they may give rise to each other as they interrelate to one another . Many tangible dualities ( such as light and dark , fire and water , expanding and contracting ) are thought of as physical manifestations of the duality symbolized by yin and yang . This duality lies at the origins of many branches of classical Chinese science and philosophy , as well as being a primary guideline of traditional Chinese medicine , and a central principle of different forms of Chinese martial arts and exercise , such as baguazhang , taijiquan ( t'ai chi ) , and qigong ( Chi Kung ) , as well as appearing in the pages of the I Ching .

When the Governor especially criticizes him for his inability to kill Carol despite killing Karen , Tyreese confronts him criticizing him for all the actions he committed and all the people that died because of them . After scolding him Tyreese proudly defends his actions and knows that he made the right calls and that people like him , they do get to live .

To promote the release of the film 's first trailer , Marvel released `` a retrospective video looking back at some of its best trailers '' since Iron Man , `` paired with fan reaction videos to those trailers '' . The first trailer for Avengers : Infinity War debuted on Good Morning America on November 29 , 2017 . Josh Spiegel of The Hollywood Reporter said , `` The trailer promises , in many ways , exactly what anyone with a passing familiarity with superhero movies would expect ... '' but `` the most important part of the trailer is how it carefully , deliberately introduces the notion that the Infinity War films are going to function as a passing of the torch , from one set of Avengers to a newer group . '' Scott Mendelson writing , for Forbes , noted that even though the trailer was not much different from the convention footage screened earlier in the year , it was `` damn impressive . Moreover , it uses Nick Fury 's big ' Avengers Initiative ' speech , along with Alan Silvestri 's Avengers theme , to excellent effect . '' Conversely to Mendelson , Alexander commented on the different marketing strategy for the film between the convention footage scenes and the trailer scenes , feeling the `` two could n't be more different '' . She noted how the convention footage ( `` meant to please a crowd running on little sleep and jittery with anticipation '' ) was released between Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 and Thor : Ragnarok , and `` ( i ) t made sense to use Thor and the Guardians to hype up ( Infinity War ) '' because `` Marvel relied on the anticipation of Thor : Ragnarok and Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2 's success to excite fans , and footage of older movies set to classic Marvel scores as a way to drive home how this movie is an event in itself . '' Conversely , the trailer ( `` designed to explain what 's about to happen , teasing it out with additional background '' ) heavily featured Black Panther and Wakanda , which Alexander said could not have been done earlier , without the additional marketing for Black Panther that happened after the conventions to provide additional context . Gael Cooper of CNET observed that the trailer was viewed nearly 500,000 times in its first 15 minutes after it was posted on YouTube , but questioned if the trailer broke the site after the view counter appeared to be stuck at 467,331 . The trailer was viewed 230 million times in its first 24 hours , becoming the most viewed trailer in that time period , surpassing the record of It .

The invention of Cartesian coordinates in the 17th century by René Descartes ( Latinized name : Cartesius ) revolutionized mathematics by providing the first systematic link between Euclidean geometry and algebra . Using the Cartesian coordinate system , geometric shapes ( such as curves ) can be described by Cartesian equations : algebraic equations involving the coordinates of the points lying on the shape . For example , a circle of radius 2 , centered at the origin of the plane , may be described as the set of all points whose coordinates x and y satisfy the equation x + y = 4 .

The modern Turkish name for the city , İstanbul , derives from the Greek phrase eis tin polin ( εἰς τὴν πόλιν ) , meaning `` into the city '' or `` to the city '' . This name was used in Turkish alongside Kostantiniyye , the more formal adaptation of the original Constantinople , during the period of Ottoman rule , while western languages mostly continued to refer to the city as Constantinople until the early 20th century . In 1928 , the Turkish alphabet was changed from Arabic script to Latin script . After that , as part of the 1920s Turkification movement , Turkey started to urge other countries to use Turkish names for Turkish cities , instead of other transliterations to Latin script that had been used in the Ottoman times . In time the city came to be known as Istanbul and its variations in most world languages .

Before leaving Hogwarts to accompany Dumbledore in locating another horcrux -- part of Voldemort 's soul -- Harry discovers from Professor Trelawney that it was Snape who overheard the prophecy and told it to Voldemort , resulting in Voldemort hunting down Harry and his parents . Despite this and Harry 's angry questions , Dumbledore avers his trust in Snape . Returning to Hogwarts after retrieving Voldemort 's Horcrux , Harry and Dumbledore alight atop the school 's astronomy tower . Gravely weakened by the horcrux 's protective potion , Dumbledore tells Harry he must fetch Snape , but before Harry can leave , Draco suddenly arrives , intending to carry out Voldemort 's order to assassinate Dumbledore , closely followed by other Death Eaters ( followers of Voldemort ) , and Snape . Snape interrupts the planned murder , killing the headmaster himself . Harry , who is paralysed under his invisibility cloak by Dumbledore for his own protection , witnesses the kill , and is released upon Dumbledore 's death . Enraged , he pursues Snape , Draco , and the Death Eaters as they flee the castle . Snape easily blocks Harry 's spells and jeeringly points out Harry 's mistakes , but never strikes back . During the confrontation , Snape reveals himself as the eponymous `` Half - Blood Prince '' ( being the half - blood son of Muggle Tobias Snape and pure - blood Eileen Prince ) . Snape passes through the school gates and Disapparates with Draco in tow at the book 's end . The full relationship between Dumbledore and Snape and the reason for Snape 's actions remain unknown until the final book . In an interview , Rowling mentioned that at this point in the series , the Harry -- Snape relationship has become `` as personal , if not more so , than Harry -- Voldemort . ''

The quake occurred in the vicinity of the northern boundary where the Caribbean tectonic plate shifts eastwards by about 20 mm ( 0.79 in ) per year in relation to the North American plate . The strike - slip fault system in the region has two branches in Haiti , the Septentrional - Oriente fault in the north and the Enriquillo - Plantain Garden fault in the south ; both its location and focal mechanism suggested that the January 2010 quake was caused by a rupture of the Enriquillo - Plantain Garden fault , which had been locked for 250 years , gathering stress . However , a study published in May 2010 suggested that the rupture process may have involved slip on multiple blind thrust faults with only minor , deep , lateral slip along or near the main Enriquillo -- Plantain Garden fault zone , suggesting that the event only partially relieved centuries of accumulated left - lateral strain on a small part of the plate - boundary system . The rupture was roughly 65 km ( 40 mi ) long with mean slip of 1.8 metres ( 5 ft 11 in ) . Preliminary analysis of the slip distribution found amplitudes of up to about 4 m ( 13 ft ) using ground motion records from all over the world .

The Sistine Chapel ( / ˌsɪstiːn ˈtʃæpəl / ; Latin : Sacellum Sixtinum ; Italian : Cappella Sistina ( kapˈpɛlla siˈstiːna ) ) is a chapel in the Apostolic Palace , the official residence of the Pope , in Vatican City . Originally known as the Cappella Magna , the chapel takes its name from Pope Sixtus IV , who restored it between 1477 and 1480 . Since that time , the chapel has served as a place of both religious and functionary papal activity . Today it is the site of the Papal conclave , the process by which a new pope is selected . The fame of the Sistine Chapel lies mainly in the frescos that decorate the interior , and most particularly the Sistine Chapel ceiling and The Last Judgment by Michelangelo .

The Governor General of Canada ( French : Gouverneure générale du Canada ) is the federal viceregal representative of the Canadian monarch , currently Queen Elizabeth II . The person of the sovereign is shared equally both with the 15 other Commonwealth realms and the 10 provinces of Canada , but resides predominantly in her oldest realm , the United Kingdom . Because of this , the Queen , on the advice of her Canadian prime minister , appoints a governor general to carry out most of her constitutional and ceremonial duties . The commission is for an unfixed period of time -- known as serving at Her Majesty 's pleasure -- though five years is the normal convention . Beginning in 1959 , it has also been traditional to rotate between anglophone and francophone incumbents -- although many recent governors general have been bilingual . Once in office , the governor general maintains direct contact with the Queen , wherever she may be at the time .

The death of al - Mu'azzam negated the proposed alliance with al - Kamil , who along with his brother al - Ashraf had taken possession of Damascus ( as well as Jerusalem ) from their nephew , al - Mu'azzam's son an - Nasir Dawud . However , al - Kamil presumably did not know of the small size of Frederick 's army , nor the divisions within it caused by his excommunication , and wished to avoid defending his territories against another crusade . Frederick 's presence alone was sufficient to regain Jerusalem , Bethlehem , Nazareth , and a number of surrounding castles without a fight : these were recovered in February 1229 , in return for a ten - year truce with the Ayyubids and freedom of worship for Jerusalem 's Muslim inhabitants . The terms of the treaty were unacceptable to the Patriarch of Jerusalem Gerald of Lausanne , who placed the city under interdict . In March , Frederick crowned himself in the Church of the Holy Sepulchre , but because of his excommunication and the interdict Jerusalem was never truly reincorporated into the kingdom , which continued to be ruled from Acre .

The Neo-Babylonian Empire was a period of Mesopotamian history which began in 626 BC and ended in 539 BC . During the preceding three centuries , Babylonia had been ruled by their fellow Akkadian speakers and northern neighbours , Assyria . A year after the death of the last strong Assyrian ruler , Assurbanipal , in 627 BC , the Assyrian empire spiralled into a series of brutal civil wars . Babylonia rebelled under Nabopolassar . In alliance with the Medes , Persians , Scythians and Cimmerians , they sacked the city of Nineveh in 612 BC , and the seat of empire was transferred to Babylonia for the first time since the death of Hammurabi in the mid 18th century BC . This period witnessed a general improvement in economic life and agricultural production , and a great flourishing of architectural projects , the arts and science .

College football games have been broadcast since 1939 , beginning with the 1939 Waynesburg vs. Fordham football game on September 30 in New York City . College football telecasts were historically very restricted due to there being only three major television networks and also because the NCAA controlled all television rights and limited the number of games that aired to protect attendance . A 1984 ruling declaring the NCAA 's television restrictions illegal , along with the introduction of sports - specific television networks has increased the amount of air - time available for coverage . Today , dozens of games are available for viewing each week of the football season . Other coverage includes local broadcasts of weekly coach 's programs . These programs have become an important sources of revenue for the universities and their athletics programs .

On 7 November 1917 , Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin led his leftist revolutionaries in a revolt against the ineffective Provisional Government ( Russia was still using the Julian calendar at the time , so period references show a 25 October date ) . The October revolution ended the phase of the revolution instigated in February , replacing Russia 's short - lived provisional parliamentary government with government by soviets , local councils elected by bodies of workers and peasants . Liberal and monarchist forces , loosely organized into the White Army , immediately went to war against the Bolsheviks ' Red Army , in a series of battles that would become known as the Russian Civil War .

The song title refers to a fictional aphrodisiac ( described as a love potion ) , which is presented in the accompanying video as a steaming potion . The lyrics tell the tale of Lōc 's initially unsuccessful attempts to attract women at a bar . Another patron shares his secret to becoming a chick magnet lies in the drink `` Funky Cold Medina '' . Later , Lōc tests the drink on his dog , who immediately latches onto his leg and attempts to arouse himself sexually , and subsequently becomes more popular with other dogs . Lōc 's subsequent attempts to use the drug backfire on him ; first he targets a woman who , unbeknownst to him until the couple `` got undressed , '' was a transsexual , and then a woman who becomes immediately intent on marriage ( recounting his experiences on the game show Love Connection ) . In the end , Lōc concludes the concoction is simply not worth the trouble ( and the video shows him regretfully emptying the bottle into a storm drain ) .

During the Information Age , the phenomenon is that the digital industry creates a knowledge - based society surrounded by a high - tech global economy that spans over its influence on how the manufacturing throughout and the service sector operate in an efficient and convenient way . In a commercialized society , the information industry is able to allow individuals to explore their personalized needs , therefore simplifying the procedure of making decisions for transactions and significantly lowering costs for both the producers and buyers . This is accepted overwhelmingly by participants throughout the entire economic activities for efficacy purposes , and new economic incentives would then be indigenously encouraged , such as the knowledge economy .

`` The Cask of Amontillado '' ( sometimes spelled `` The Casque of Amontillado '' ( a. mon. ti. ˈʝa. ðo ) ) is a short story by Edgar Allan Poe , first published in the November 1846 issue of Godey 's Lady 's Book . The story , set in an unnamed Italian city at carnival time in an unspecified year , is about a man taking fatal revenge on a friend who , he believes , has insulted him . Like several of Poe 's stories , and in keeping with the 19th - century fascination with the subject , the narrative revolves around a person being buried alive -- in this case , by immurement . As in `` The Black Cat '' and `` The Tell - Tale Heart '' , Poe conveys the story from the murderer 's perspective .

A cinder cone or scoria cone is a steep conical hill of loose pyroclastic fragments , such as either volcanic clinkers , cinders , volcanic ash , or scoria that has been built around a volcanic vent . They consist of loose pyroclastic debris formed by explosive eruptions or lava fountains from a single , typically cylindrical , vent . As the gas - charged lava is blown violently into the air , it breaks into small fragments that solidify and fall as either cinders , clinkers , or scoria around the vent to form a cone that often is symmetrical ; with slopes between 30 -- 40 ° ; and a nearly circular ground plan . Most cinder cones have a bowl - shaped crater at the summit .
