it is just how they decided to organize it. Generally DNS lookup work from the end to the front, so the first thing they would notice is that it's a .org TLD (top level domain) and then go to the wikipedia. The en and m are implemented by wikipedia, so it is up to them on how they want to organize it from there.

Other major cities include Austin , the second most populous state capital in the U.S. , and El Paso . Texas is nicknamed `` The Lone Star State '' to signify its former status as an independent republic , and as a reminder of the state 's struggle for independence from Mexico . The `` Lone Star '' can be found on the Texan state flag and on the Texan state seal . The origin of Texas 's name is from the word `` Tejas , '' which means `` friends '' in the Caddo language . Due to its size and geologic features such as the Balcones Fault , Texas contains diverse landscapes that resemble both the U.S. Southern and Southwestern regions . Although Texas is popularly associated with the U.S. southwestern deserts , less than 10 % of Texas ' land area is desert . Most of the population centers are located in areas of former prairies , grasslands , forests , and the coastline . Traveling from east to west , one can observe terrain that ranges from coastal swamps and piney woods , to rolling plains and rugged hills , and finally the desert and mountains of the Big Bend . The term `` six flags over Texas `` For example , as used by the large Grand Prairie -- based national and international amusement park operator Six Flags refers to several nations that have ruled over the territory . Spain was the first European country to claim the area of Texas . France held a short-lived colony . Mexico controlled the territory until 1836 when Texas won its independence , becoming an independent Republic . In 1845 , Texas joined the union as the 28th state . The state 's annexation set off a chain of events that led to the Mexican -- American War in 1846 . A slave state before the American Civil War , Texas declared its secession from the U.S. in early 1861 , and officially joined the Confederate States of America on March 2 of the same year . After the Civil War and the restoration of its representation in the federal government , Texas entered a long period of economic stagnation . One Texan industry that thrived after the Civil War was cattle . Due to its long history as a center of the industry , Texas is associated with the image of the cowboy . The state 's economic fortunes changed in the early 20th century , when oil discoveries initiated an economic boom in the state . With strong investments in universities , Texas developed a diversified economy and high tech industry in the mid-20th century . As of 2015 , it is second on the list of the most Fortune 500 companies with 54 . With a growing base of industry , the state leads in many industries , including agriculture , petrochemicals , energy , computers and electronics , aerospace , and biomedical sciences . Texas has led the nation in export revenue since 2002 and has the second-highest gross state product .

Review: William Pitt the Younger by William Hague | Books | The Guardian William Pitt the Younger: A Biography by William Hague 688pp, HarperCollins, £25 From the middle of the 18th century until the beginning of the next, one family, father and son, bestrode the political scene in Britain; both men were called William Pitt: Pitt the elder and Pitt the younger. Both were long-serving prime ministers, both guided Great Britain through the critical transition from a small maritime country to being the predominant industrial and trading power in the world. Pitt the elder was a model and mentor for his second son. Himself a hero of his country, prime minister during 1759 (the year of great victories against the French in the Seven Years' war), the elder Pitt somehow found time to educate and train the boy to a commitment to public service and a love of the classics. The young Pitt, at the age of 14, could translate Thucydides on sight into English. It was not surprising that Cambridge University allowed him to enter as an undergraduate in that same year. William Pitt the younger is the subject of a weighty and scholarly biography by William Hague, former leader of the Conservative party. The empathy, indeed the identification of subject with author, is remarkable. Hague shared with the younger Pitt a prodigious childhood, recognition as one of the best orators of his generation, and a remarkably early accession to leadership of his party. True, Pitt the younger became prime minister at the age of 24, Hague leader of the opposition at the ripe old age of 36. But given the much longer expectation of life now compared to 1783, both men became political leaders at the same stage in their lives. In a revealing interview in the Sunday Telegraph of August 29 2004, Hague, recounting the amazing achievements of the young Pitt, told his interviewer, Nigel Farndale, that he had been born 200 years too late, in 1961 instead of 1761. He also indicated an ambivalent attitude towards returning to front-line politics, though he is still younger than most MPs, let alone most ministers. Both men were bred for politics, and both were immensely gifted. Why does Hague no longer feel the hunger for high office that characterised the whole of Pitt's life, starting with his audacious refusal of any job other than the top one? Aged 22, Pitt informed his parliamentary colleagues: "I never would accept a subordinate position." British 18th-century politics were all about the relationship between parliament and the monarch, and the gradual evolution of the radical concept of a constitutional monarchy. That concept in turn took its inspiration from the glorious revolution of 1688, when parliament brought to an end the long Stuart dynasty, by inviting the Dutch king, William of Orange and his wife Queen Mary, daughter of James II, to accede to the throne. In doing so, parliament wisely imposed a series of conditions that limited the powers of the monarch. He or she had to get parliament's approval for supply, the voting of money. The king or queen could appoint an administration, but that administration had to win the support of a majority in parliament. Catholics, whose popish plots made them the al-Qaida ogres of the time, were excluded from most senior offices, and absolutely from any possibility of succession to the throne. Important as the monarch remained, parliament was the hub of domestic politics. Party discipline was weak; what mattered were the powers of patronage of the great Whig and Tory families. Public opinion mattered little, unless the public rioted, as it occasionally did. Parliament's proceedings were not circulated, or even officially reported before the early 19th century. Yet within this corrupt system, dominated by a small political elite, individuals could make their mark, and even influence outcomes by the sheer power of their oratory. A parliament of crucial significance, a political class dazzled by rhetoric, an era in which very young men could aspire to leadership - what context could suit Hague better? Even social life, wit

World Wide Words: Flabbergasted Flabbergasted Pronounced /ˈflæbəˌɡɑːstɪd/ The British comedian Frankie Howerd used to say in mock astonishment: “I’m flabbergasted — never has my flabber been so gasted!”. That’s about as good an explanation for the origin of this strange word for being surprised or astonished as you’re likely to get. It turns up first in print in 1772, in an article on new words in the Annual Register. The writer couples two fashionable terms: “Now we are flabbergasted and bored from morning to night”. (Bored — being wearied by something tedious — had appeared only a few years earlier.) Presumably some unsung genius had put together flabber and aghast to make one word. The source of the first part is obscure. It might be linked to flabby, suggesting that somebody is so astonished that they shake like a jelly. It can’t be connected with flapper, in the sense of a person who fusses or panics, as some have suggested, as that sense only emerged at the end of the nineteenth century. But flabbergasted could have been an existing dialect word, as one early nineteenth-century writer claimed to have found it in Suffolk dialect and another — in the form flabrigast — in Perthshire. Further than this, nobody can go with any certainty. Share this page

How 20-Year Old Chance The Rapper Has Nearly Every Major Label Chasing Him Chance the Rapper Gabriella De Girolami04591Comments 4In high school, Chance the Rapper was the kid with the backpack full of CDs, hustling in hallways, foisting his latest mixtape on unsuspecting classmates. Now he plays coy in meetings with major labels, biding his time while big numbers and grand schemes are discussed casually over pizza. On Tuesday (April 30), his newest release Acid Rap was downloaded some 50,000 times over night, according to an internal count. But even before then the emergent rapper from Chicago had already flown to New York and L. A. at the behest of Columbia, Republic, Def Jam, RCA, Atlantic, Interscope, Shady and Capitol, amongst others. In Austin during SXSW, where he was tapped by Red Bull to perform a showcase, Lyor Cohen reached out. "I don't really like meetings, I like recording and performing music," says Chance, born Chancelor Bennett, 20. "But I need to set myself up for when the time does come that I need better distribution or just a bigger team behind me. "Team Chance as it stands today is small but fierce and shrewdly effective. It includes his manager, Pat Corcoran, 23, a level-headed former promoter and blogger in Chance's Chicago-based Save Money collective; publicist Dan Weiner, who also represents Donald Glover and started working Chance for free after seeing him at SXSW in 2012; and superstar CAA agent Cara Lewis, who added Chance to a roster that includes Kanye West and Eminem among others. "Me and Chance have always had a chip on our shoulder like 'We can do this and it doesn't take much, just don't be an idiot," says Corcoran, who started working with Chance in April of last year after the release of his first solo mixtape "#10Day." "Dan and Cara have been kind of like our insiders. They've been amazing while we get to know people and figure out what's right for us. "Weiner put Chance on tour with Glover, a.k.a. Childish Gambino, in May 2012. In July, Chance, who has a penchant for arresting shifts in vocal tone and cadence, landed a standout appearance on the Gambino's own hit mixtape "Royalty. ""Chance is easy to make songs with because he's talented and fun to be around - it's like hanging with your little cousin," Glover says. "When he opened for us, I always heard people going nuts. You don't see a lot of rap acts, especially young acts, that can perform on that level. "Glover wasn't the only one who was impressed by Chance's feverish live show. In August, he and Corcoran had their first meeting with Lewis, who instantly became smitten. They spoke for an hour-and-a-half and she came on-board 10 minutes after the meeting. The first major labels started calling when news of her involvement got out. "An emerging artist today can be a superstar tomorrow, but they have to have certain qualities," Lewis says, explaining how Chance won her over. "Chance is extremely charismatic and has an uncanny ability to connect with any audience. You can tell his heart and soul is in it. "At home in Chicago, Chance's support network includes his 15-year old little brother, Taylor, and the rest of the sprawling, multi-disciplinary Save Money crew. Save Money came together when most of the members were freshmen in high school and were performing individually at parties and open mic nights. It includes the rappers Kids These Days, Kami De Chukwu, Vic Mensa, Caleb James, Brian Fresco and Joey Purp; the producers Peter Cottontale, Nate Fox and Thelonius Martin; and in-house filmmaker Austin Vesely, who has directed nearly all of Chance's videos. From the beginning, Chance's high school hustling bled into a broader business strategy that saw Chicago's close-knit youth community as its target. After finishing at Jones College Prep, he started something he called Save Money School Days, where he and Corcoran would visit schools around the city selling cheap tickets to Chance the Rapper shows and doing meet-and-greets with the students. "We'd show up at some schools and they'd have the gym ready and make a PA announcement," says Corcoran. "Chance would sign posters and take pictures with all the kids and give hugs to the girls and stuff. It could get pretty crazy. A few times we were chased away by the cops. "This March, the youth strategy graduated to college campuses when Chance and Kids These Days embarked on the "March Madness Tour," which stopped at seven colleges over 10 days. "I just turned 20, so the majority of time that I've made all of my music I've been a teenager," Chance says. "It just made sense that that would be the foundation. Everything we've done has been really grassroots. "As his star rises, the significance of what this means - speaking to and for kids in Chicago at this particular moment - is not lost on Chance. In 2011 he watched a close friend get stabbed to death in a flare of the city's pandemic violence. That incident, and countless others like it, haunt the Acid Rap track "Pusha Man," on which he breaks into a striking soliloquy. "They merkin' kids, they murder kids here. Why don't they talk about it? They deserted us here. ""It's crazy how many people die here and how crucial it's about to be this summer," Chance says. " [Chief] Keef put it in everybody's face and people didn't like it, but that's how it is. It affects everybody here personally. Motherfuckers that are 15 and 16 caught bodies already and that's not normal. So my plan is to put it in people's face as hard as Chief Keef did it, and possibly harder. Because if nobody talks about it, nothing gets done. "In the wake of Acid Rap, Chance will continue to build in Chicago with a series of shows opening for Kendrick Lamar, Toro y Moi, Grimes and others. He hopes to venture out on his first major tour in June, culminating in a return to Chicago for Lollapalooza in August. The summer will indeed be crucial, but his crew is ready.

PBS : Empires : Queen Victoria : Her Majesty : Her Children Royal Society Princess Victoria Adelaide Mary Louise (1840-1901) She married Friedrich Wilhelm of Prussia in 1858. Friedrich became the emperor of Germany, but died after only three months. Their eldest son became Wilhelm II of Germany (also known as Kaiser Bill of World War I). This obviously caused friction within the Royal Family -- it is claimed that Queen Victoria's favorite grandson was Wilhelm. Princess Victoria had eight children in total. Her daughter Sophie went on to marry a Greek Prince and later became Queen of Greece. Princess Victoria died August 5th, 1901, only eight months after the death of Queen Victoria. Prince Albert Edward Wettin (1841-1910) Prince Albert became King Edward VII in 1901. He took the family name of his father, Prince Albert, and hence on his coronation the monarchy moved from the House of Hanover to the House of Wettin. In 1917 his son, George V, in an outburst of anti-German feelings engendered by the First World War, changed the name of his house and family from Wettin to Windsor. Victoria and Albert imposed a strict regime upon Edward; this had the opposite effort than the one Victoria and Albert had hoped for, and he rebelled constantly with indulgence in food, drink, women, gambling and sport. He married at the age of 22 to Princess Alexandra of Denmark. She turned a blind eye to his extramarital activities, which continued well into his sixties, despite the fact he was implicated in several divorce cases. He had six children in total -- Albert, George, Louise, Victoria, Maude and John. Maude went onto marry into the Norwegian royal family and became the Queen Consort of Norway. Princess Alice Maude Mary (1843-1878) When she was 17, Queen Victoria decided it was time for Princess Alice to marry. She personally chose Prince Ludwig and Hesse as an ideal choice for her third daughter. Ludwig went on to become the Grand Duke Louis XIV. Within six months of arranging the introduction, they were married. Unfortunately, the marriage began in the shadow of Prince Albert's death (he had died shortly after arranging the introduction between Alice and Ludwig). Alice went onto to have seven children -- Victoria, Elizabeth, Ernst-Ludwig, Irene, Friedrich Wilheim (Frittie), Alix and Marie. Again, tragedy was to strike with the accidental death of her son Frittie. Alice saw her toddler run to the window. To her horror, she found out too late that the window was not locked. The toddler fell 20 feet and landed on his head. Frittie was dead within a few hours. This lost weighed deeply on Alice and she went through a great depression. She mourned the loss until her own death, and always talked about being reunited with Frittie in heaven. Her daughter Alix married Nicholas II the last Russian tzar. Prince Alfred Ernest Albert (1844-1900) Prince Alfred married the Grand Duchess Marie, daughter of Tzar Alexander II of Russia. He became the Duke of Saxe-Coburg. His eldest daughter Marie married the crown Prince of Romania, who later became King Ferdinand I. Alfred was probably the most widely travelled of all his brothers and sisters. In fact, he was the first member of the Royal family to visit Australia. Unfortunately, during his in 1868, there was an attempt on his life in Sydney. An Irishman made the attempted assassination, and when it emerged that the would be assassin was a Catholic, it only helped harden bigotry towards the Irish Catholics. Alfred's mother was to outlive him by a year -- his death in 1900 was due to cancer of the throat. Princess Helena Augusta Victoria (1846-1923) Princess Helena was also known as "Lenchen." She was born a "blue baby," possibly because her mother was at the height of anxiety over the loss of her first trusted Prime Minister, Sir Robert Peel. In 1866, she married Prince Frederick Christain of Schleswig-Holstein. Her name lives on in today's royal family -- one of Princess Eugenia's middle names is Helena. Princess Louise Caroline Alberta (1848-1939) Although it's not unusual

HPV Types HPV Types Forward to a Colleague Print this Page Brief Overview of HPV Types There are more than 100 types of HPV. They usually don't cause any problems. However, when they do, the most frequent effect is the common wart, such as those found on the hands and feet. About 30 HPV types are spread through genital contact. Each is identified with a number, in the order of their discovery. In addition, they are divided into two groups:" Low-risk " types of HPV There are about 12 types of HPV that are called low-risk because they do not cause cervical cancer. They can, however, cause genital warts or minor cell changes on the cervix. These low-risk types of HPV are known by the numbers 6, 11, 40, 42, 43, 44, 53, 54, 61, 72, 73 and 81. Types 6 and 11 – which are linked to about 90 percent of genital warts – are the most common." High-risk " types of HPV There are more than a dozen types of high-risk HPV that can trigger the development of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia (CIN). These types of high-risk HPV of most concern are known by the numbers 16, 18, 31, 33, 35, 39, 45, 51, 52, 56, 58, 59 and 68. Types 16 and 18 are the most dangerous, since they cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers. In one study, the National Cancer Institute found that about 10 percent of women with HPV type 16 or 18 developed CIN 3 within three years (compared to just 4 percent of women with any type of HPV), and 20 percent did so in 10 years (compared to 7 percent). The HPV vaccine Gardasil®, the HPV vaccine developed by Merck and the only one currently approved in the United States, is designed to protect against HPV types 16 and 18 - which cause about 70 percent of cervical cancers. In addition, it protects against the two most common types that cause genital warts - 6 and 11. The digene HPV Test *The digene HPV Test, the first FDA-approved HPV test, identifies whether a patient has one or more of the 13 most important high-risk types of the virus. (Although QIAGEN also makes a test for low-risk HPV types, its routine use is not recommended in medical guidelines or reimbursed by insurance. )Currently, the digene HPV Test does not determine which high-risk type (s) of the virus a woman has. However, under existing medical guidelines, the extra exams and other follow-up care she should get are the same no matter what type of high-risk HPV she has. That may change in the future. QIAGEN and other companies are developing genotyping tests that could determine the specific types of high-risk HPV carried by a particular patient. * "The digene HPV Test" was approved by the U. S. FDA and is also known to laboratories and physicians as the "hc2 High-Risk HPV DNA Test®" and "DNAwith Pap® Test." This does not refer to the QIAGEN product that tests for several types of the virus commonly referred to as "low-risk HPV," which are not associated with cervical cancer.

By 1620, the fishermen of England's West Country controlled most of Newfoundland's east coast. In 1627, William Payne, called St. John's "the principal prime and chief lot in all the whole country". The population grew slowly in the 17th century and St. John's was the largest settlement in Newfoundland when English naval officers began to take censuses around 1675. The population would grow in the summers with the arrival of migratory fishermen. In 1680, fishing ships (mostly from South Devon) set up fishing rooms at St. John's, bringing hundreds of Irish men into the port to operate inshore fishing boats.

England is a country that is part of the United Kingdom . It shares land borders with Scotland to the north and Wales to the west . The Irish Sea lies northwest of England and the Celtic Sea lies to the southwest . England is separated from continental Europe by the North Sea to the east and the English Channel to the south . The country covers five-eighths of the island of Great Britain -LRB- which lies in the North Atlantic -RRB- in its centre and south ; and includes over 100 smaller islands such as the Isles of Scilly , and the Isle of Wight . The area now called England was first inhabited by modern humans during the Upper Palaeolithic period , but takes its name from the Angles , one of the Germanic tribes who settled during the 5th and 6th centuries . England became a unified state in the 10th century , and since the Age of Discovery , which began during the 15th century , has had a significant cultural and legal impact on the wider world . The English language , the Anglican Church , and English law -- the basis for the common law legal systems of many other countries around the world -- developed in England , and the country 's parliamentary system of government has been widely adopted by other nations . The Industrial Revolution began in 18th-century England , transforming its society into the world 's first industrialised nation . England 's terrain mostly comprises low hills and plains , especially in central and southern England . However , there are uplands in the north -LRB- for example , the mountainous Lake District , and the Pennines -RRB- and in the southwest -LRB- for example , Dartmoor and the Cotswolds -RRB- . The capital is London , which is the largest metropolitan area in both the United Kingdom and the European Union.According to the European Statistical Agency , London is the largest Larger Urban Zone in the EU , a measure of metropolitan area which comprises a city 's urban core as well as its surrounding commuting zone . London 's municipal population is also the largest in the EU . England 's population of over 53 million comprises 84 % of the population of the United Kingdom , largely concentrated around London , the South East , and conurbations in the Midlands , the North West , the North East , and Yorkshire , which each developed as major industrial regions during the 19th century . The Kingdom of England -- which after 1535 included Wales -- ceased being a separate sovereign state on 1 May 1707 , when the Acts of Union put into effect the terms agreed in the Treaty of Union the previous year , resulting in a political union with the Kingdom of Scotland to create the Kingdom of Great Britain . In 1801 , Great Britain was united with the Kingdom of Ireland through another Act of Union to become the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland . In 1922 the Irish Free State seceded from the United Kingdom , leading to the latter being renamed the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland .

You don't need to collide two planets to compress water. You can just put it in a pressurized chamber, or go to the bottom of the ocean. Water is incompressible for most engineering applications, but it definitely compresses. It compresses by about 2% at 4 kilometers under water. If you put it under more extreme pressures, you get different types of ice that form.

The measure of photochemical efficiency is made by meauring the amount of oxygen produced by leaves following exposure to various wavelengths. It is evident from these absorption and output plots that only the red and blue ends of the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum are used by plants in photosynthesis.The reflection and transmission of the middle of the spectrum gives the leaves their green visual color.he measured rate of photosynthesis as a function of absorbed wavelength correlates well with the absorption frequencies of chlorophyll a, but makes it evident that there are some other contributors to the absorption.

New York's high rate of public transit use, over 200,000 daily cyclists as of 2014, and many pedestrian commuters make it the most energy-efficient major city in the United States. Walk and bicycle modes of travel account for 21% of all modes for trips in the city; nationally the rate for metro regions is about 8%. In both its 2011 and 2015 rankings, Walk Score named New York City the most walkable large city in the United States. Citibank sponsored the introduction of 10,000 public bicycles for the city's bike-share project in the summer of 2013. Research conducted by Quinnipiac University showed that a majority of New Yorkers support the initiative. New York City's numerical "in-season cycling indicator" of bicycling in the city hit an all-time high in 2013.

Geography of Europe Europe is traditionally defined as one of seven continents. Physiographically, it is the northwestern peninsula of the larger landmass known as Eurasia (or the larger Afro-Eurasia); Asia occupies the eastern bulk of this continuous landmass and all share a common continental shelf. Europe's eastern frontier is delineated by the Ural Mountains in Russia. The southeast boundary with Asia is not universally defined, but the modern definition is generally the Ural River or, less commonly, the Emba River. The boundary continues to the Caspian Sea, the crest of the Caucasus Mountains (or, less commonly, the Kura River in the Caucasus), and on to the Black Sea. The Bosporus, the Sea of Marmara, and the Dardanelles conclude the Asian boundary. The Mediterranean Sea to the south separates Europe from Africa. The western boundary is the Atlantic Ocean. Iceland, though on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and nearer to Greenland (North America) than mainland Europe, is generally included in Europe for cultural reasons and because it is over twice as close to mainland Europe than to mainland North America. There is ongoing debate on where the geographical centre of Europe falls.

Arranging a Funeral or Cremation in Florida Dealing with a bereavement is an extremely stressful time, especially so if you are responsible for making funeral arrangements. This article aims to guide you through the process of arranging a funeral or cremation in Florida, hopefully answering many of the basic questions you may have. Florida is the fourth most populated state in the United States, also being home to a large retirement population and a transient population seeking a warmer climate. This does mean that an above-average percentage of deaths can occur in Florida, and many families are often left with the task of transporting a deceased family member back to their state of origin. How do I choose a funeral services provider in Florida? Selecting a funeral home is not an easy task. There are some 1300+ funeral homes in the state of Florida, and some 300+ cemeteries, crematories and Memorial Parks. No wonder then, that it can be a daunting decision choosing a funeral director to take care of your funeral needs. Clearly defining your funeral needs to help you select a funeral home can help. Do you require a burial or cremation? Do you want a traditional service or something more contemporary? Is location and venue for a service important? Or do you intend to arrange amemorial service at a later date? What budget do you have for the cost of the funeral? Just these few questions can help you narrow down a service provider to choose. US Funerals Online provides a comprehensive directory of all funeral homes and funeral parlors in Florida. In addition our web site is a resource guide of information and we can signpost you to reputable companies who service the funeral industry. There are many ways to save money on arranging a funeral service in Florida, such as buying a casket online, buying a headstone direct, or even locating a cemetery plot. Arranging a Disposition in Florida A licensed funeral director (licensed in Florida) can perform funeral services in Florida. The funeral director will collect the deceased from the place of death and coordinate disposition arrangements. A ‘direct disposal establishment’ that performs direct cremations can also directly supply cremation services. What is the average cost of a funeral in Florida? The average cost of a funeral in Florida these days can amount to $6,500 or more, without adding the cemetery costs. [National average cost for a funeral $7,045 NFDA 2012] For many Americans struggling under the burden of our economic recession, this can be an overwhelming financial liability, especially when the deceased has made no financial provisions. There are funeral service providers who will offer more affordable funeral packages, so it is vital to shop around and compare prices between a few providers. Cemetery plots and burial vaults can add a significant additional cost to a funeral, with a cemetery plot in Florida costing anything between $600 - $3,000. Florida law does not stipulate that you need to purchase a burial vault, although certain cemeteries may insist on it. You should note that a cemetery company cannot require that you purchase a vault or grave liner from their company. It is recommended that you carefully check a cemetery’s regulations before committing to a cemetery plot. How much does a cremation cost in Florida? The cremation rate is higher than average in Florida, which has led to many areas in Florida offering very competitively-priced cremations. On average a cremation can cost between $500 and $3,500, depending upon what kind of cremation service you select, and which cremation services provider you choose. Florida is a state that also licenses ‘direct disposers’ so there are a number of providers who solely offer low cost direct dispositions. Cremation is increasingly popular with the baby boomer generation and many retirees, hence why it is more popular in thestate of Florida. It is also much easier to transport cremated remains from Florida to another state or country. The DFS Memorials network of cremation providers in Florida all offer the best value simple cremation package in their area. All are local, licensed funeral homes committed to serving their community. What do I need to understand about cremation laws in Florida? Each state has its own legislation that governs funeral practice. A crematory must abide by certain practice standards in disposing of human remains by cremation. In Florida a cremation can only be performed once a ‘Cremation Authorization Form’ has been signed by the legal next of kin and the coroner has issued the cremation permit. In Florida there is a mandatory waiting period of 48 hours after death before a cremation can proceed. That being said, it usually takes about 3 days to make all the necessary arrangements and complete the paperwork but an expedited service can be arranged if required. A casket is NOT required by law for a cremation. All that is required is a suitable rigid container. A cremation container is usually a reinforced cardboard or plywood box. If you wish to hold a funeral service before the cremation, some funeral homes offer rental caskets. What you need to know – Funeral laws, regulation and licensing in Florida, home funerals and green funeral options Funeral laws can vary quite a lot between different states, but all funeral homes should be appropriately licensed by their state licensing board. The Federal Trade Commission’s ‘funeral rule’ helps to give some protection for funeral consumers and it is useful to make yourself familiar with this. You can legally conduct your own funeral services in Florida and coordinate a home funeral. Many people just automatically assume that they have to employ a funeral director but this is not the case. You can liaise with your local county authorities to file the death certificate and obtain a cremation or burial permit. You can apply to have a family burial plot on your own property. Florida law allows for this on less than two acres of land and without any rights to sell burial spaces. You need to check local deed restrictions and zoning regulations. You can contact the Florida Department of Environmental Protection for further information. A green funeral, or a natural burial, is another alternative to a traditional funeral or cremation. This is where the deceased's disposition is handled as ‘organically’ and naturally as possible. No embalming is done, the body is buried in a biodegradable container (pine box, bamboo coffin or linen shroud), in a designated natural burial site. A natural green burial site is available in Florida at: Glendale Memorial Nature Preserve, 297 Railroad Avenue, De Funiak Springs FL 32433. Does the deceased have to be embalmed in Florida? The state of Florida does NOT require embalming. Law stipulates that a body must be refrigerated, or embalmed, within 24 hours of death. Do note – some funeral service providers will ‘encourage’ embalming, especially if a viewing or public service is being held, but there is no legal requirement for it. What can we do with the cremated remains? Laws for ash scattering in Florida. As cremation is so popular in Florida, this question is often asked. Florida law allows for cremation ash scattering on any land, but not in any Florida fresh water. You must check with the landowner as spreading ashes on private property could be construed as establishing a cemetery. If in doubt, check with the Department of Environmental Protection. Ash scattering at sea is more common in Florida as obviously the state has a beautiful coastline and the easy means by which to arrange a sea burial. The United States Coast Guard issues permits for burials at sea within a three-mile limit. The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has governance over burials at sea or sea ash scatterings. Florida is in Region 4 of the EPA, and can be contacted at, Sam Nunn Atlanta Federal Center, 61 Forsyth Street, SW, Atlanta, GA 30303. The Neptune Reef and Eternal Reefs are also situated just off the coast of Florida and provide a unique way to immortalize a loved one. Cremated remains are sterile, organic matter and pose no threat to the environment. However, it is wise to employ safe scattering techniques. You can read more about this in our Ash Scattering section. How do I obtain a copy of a death certificate in Florida? The funeral home will ordinarily obtain the death certificate for you if they are handling your disposition arrangements. If you need to obtain a death certificate, or further copies, you will need to contact the county office of the Department of Vital Statistics. Certified copies of death certificates can be ordered online, by mail, by phone or in person. The first certified copy costs $5.00 and each additional copy costs $4.00. In Florida, anyone may order a Florida Death Certificate "Without cause of death" but a Death Certificate "With Cause of Death" is confidential by Florida Law and may only be issued to the deceased family or those acting on behalf of the family or the deceased’s estate. You will need to provide ID to request a copy. Who is responsible for paying for the funeral? There are 2 alternatives – either you preplan and prepay for your own funeral expenses, or surviving family will become liable for your disposition costs. You do not have to formally set up a funeral contract with a funeral service provider, but can make adequate provision by putting funds aside in a POD account in order that the person who will arrange your funeral can access this fund immediately upon the death. You can read more about this in ‘ What is my best and safest option for putting aside money for a funeral? ’. Purchasing a casket or grave marker in Florida A casket and memorial headstone can be two of most expensive funeral merchandise items purchased for a funeral. It is important to understand that you do NOT have to purchase a casket from a funeral home. The Federal Trade Commission’s ‘funeral rule’ means that you legally have the right to purchase a casket elsewhere and your funeral home must accept it. Caskets can often be purchased from a third-party retailer at a fraction of the cost that some funeral homes retail them for! Check out our ‘ Caskets ’ section for more detailed information about purchasing a casket. Similarly a grave marker does not have to be purchased at the time of interment. Generally cemeteries will not permit a memorial marker to be erected until a few months after the burial. This gives the ground a chance to settle and prevents potential subsidence of the monument. Therefore, this gives you time to shop around without feeling you have to commit to a marker whilst making funeral arrangements. Check out our ‘ Grave Markers ’ section for a much more detailed overview of purchasing and erecting a memorial monument. What discounts are there for Veteran’s funerals in Florida? All veterans (& some dependents) are entitled to a free cemetery plot, grave marker and US Flag. A copy of the DD214 discharge papers would be required to obtain any veteran’s benefits. Some funeral homes do offer additional discounts for veteran’s funerals, so you would need to make inquiries. There are still burial plots and cremated niches in these Florida VA cemeteries: Bushnell, Jacksonville, Lake Worth, Pensacola, and Sarasota. There is only space for only cremated remains in Bay Pines and the VA cemetery in St. Augustine is now closed to new interments. If a Death Occurs Outside of Florida, or the deceased needs transporting to another state If your loved one has died away from home and you need to transport the body back, the funeral director will need a burial transit permit. This is issued by the local registrar of the district, and can only be issued if there are no questions remaining about the cause of death. If your loved one has died in Florida and you need to transport the body to another state, you may need the services of a funeral director specialized in funeral shipping. This often requires the liaison of funeral directors, both where the body is being shipped from and to. Transporting the deceased can become quite costly, sometimes amounting to as much as $3, 500 plus the shipping fee. For this reason many people choose to arrange a cremation at the place of death, and arrange for the transportation of the cremated remains. If you need further information about shipping a loved one from, or to, Florida – please visit our funeral shipping page. Can I donate my body to science in Florida? Yes. Another possible option for end-of-life choices today is to opt for a whole body donation to science. This is a means by which your whole body can be donated as an ‘anatomical gift’. If you wish to donate your body to science in Florida, you have the option of donating your body to one of the Universities or Medical Schools that accept donations, or you can make a whole body donation to Medcure, a national organization that manages whole body donation to establishments across the U. S. Medcure facilities a whole body donation at no cost to the donor. They arrange to collect the deceased, coordinate the donation, cremation of the remains and the return the remains to the family – usually within about 2 months. Visit our page on Body Donation The deceased had no life insurance and I can’t afford a funeral. What help is there with cremation costs in Florida? Sadly more families are finding themselves in such a situation. The reality is that there is very limited public or state assistance for funeral costs. The state takes care of any indigent deaths (as is their responsibility) but this is done by the means of a pauper burial or cremation. Social Security offer a $255 death benefitpayment (if qualifying) and the funeral director will usally assist you with claiming this. For some further guidance read our article ‘ What do I do if I Can’t Afford a Funeral’? Finding the lowest cost cremation provider in Florida Direct cremation is very competitively priced in most areas of Florida, with the exception of the Panhandle region. In the metro areas of Florida a basic cremation can be arranged for between $600 - $900 (depending on the location). The DFS Memorials network of low cost cremation providers offer some of the most competitive simple cremation packages. Check out your nearest provider to find out the cost of a basic cremation near you. What immediate steps do I need to take when a death has occurred? If you are choosing to use the services of a funeral director, you need to select a funeral services provider to work with. He/she will be able to help walk you through the next steps once they have the deceased in their care.

The railroads opened up the Great Plains for settlement, for now it was possible to ship wheat and other crops at low cost to the urban markets in the East, and Europe. Homestead land was free for American settlers. Railroads sold their land at cheap rates to immigrants in expectation they would generate traffic as soon as farms were established. Immigrants poured in, especially from Germany and Scandinavia. On the plains, very few single men attempted to operate a farm or ranch by themselves; they clearly understood the need for a hard-working wife, and numerous children, to handle the many chores, including child-rearing, feeding and clothing the family, managing the housework, feeding the hired hands, and, especially after the 1930s, handling paperwork and financial details. During the early years of settlement, farm women played an integral role in assuring family survival by working outdoors. After approximately one generation, women increasingly left the fields, thus redefining their roles within the family. New technology including sewing and washing machines encouraged women to turn to domestic roles. The scientific housekeeping movement, promoted across the land by the media and government extension agents, as well as county fairs which featured achievements in home cookery and canning, advice columns for women regarding farm bookkeeping, and home economics courses in the schools.

Backfill Around Above Ground Pool. The pool is up and everything is great! 24' round steel wall with resin bottom rail. Now I'm looking at the finishing touches. I of course had to dig down one side to level the foundation so I am now left with a 5 deep, 1' wide trench around the backside of the pool. When it rains it becomes a muddy mess.

When a joint German–Soviet peace initiative was rejected by Britain and France on 28 September 1939, Soviet foreign policy became critical of the Allies and more pro-German in turn. During the fifth session of the Supreme Soviet on 31 October 1939 Molotov analysed the international situation thus giving the direction for Communist propaganda. According to Molotov Germany had a legitimate interest in regaining its position as a great power and the Allies had started an aggressive war in order to maintain the Versailles system.

Some ancient cultures promoted gleaning as an early form of a welfare system.hen people glean and distribute food, they may be bringing themselves legal risk; in the Soviet Union, the Law of Spikelets (sometimes translated law on gleaning) criminalised gleaning, under penalty of death, or 20 years of forced labour in exceptional circumstances.

From our patio can be seen a rhododendron, geranium palmatums, petunias, foxgloves, and fennel. The centre of the Phantom Path gives a view towards that shown above. We can also see that the clematis Star of India and an unnamed white rose frolic together on the Gothic Arch. This red rose, aptly named Altissimo, climbs between Elizabeth’s bed and the rose garden. a sentinel to the Back Path. The morning sun burns out detail on the right hand side of Downton Lane, glinting on the back of a shade-seeking orange ladybird, just filtering through shrubbery on the left. This gate must have once led into a garden beyond it. Roger is growing barley this year. Across the left hand field a large vessel sedately traversed the horizon as yachts skimmed along a deep blue Christchurch Bay. To my right clouds slid silently over Downton. All I could hear were the strings of countless insects’ wings. The pong of fermenting slurry filled my nostrils. Back home, a far more appetising aroma greeted me. Jackie was preparing a sausage casserole for Sam’s visit tomorrow. I suppose I can defer my gratification until then. This afternoon we planted other flowers, such as heucheras and penstemons into the rose garden, offering some variation. The rose Deep Secret has now revealed all. During my childhood, we used to brighten our copper pennies by rubbing them on the bricks of the school wall. Old bricks, not modern paving ones that don’t crumble into dust on the application of friction. So, when Jackie unearthed a tiny coin encrusted with thick verdigris, I was off in search of an old brick. They are not hard to find in the garden of Old Post House. I cleaned enough to know what a treasure we had found, but, since we were now afraid of scrubbing off any more detail, Jackie finished the job with Hob Brite, a rather gentler abrasive. We had exhumed a small coin, bearing, on the obverse, the somewhat pockmarked head of Queen Victoria; on the reverse, Britannia, the date 1893, and its denomination. So soon after the previous post, we had found a farthing . Serendipity or what? How long had that lain in the soil? Who had dropped it? We will never know. The previous posting featured a wren, which did not appear on the reverse until the pattern coin of Edward VIII (so called because it had not yet been approved by the time of his abdication in 1936). The little bird first replaced Britannia in 1937, during the reign of the father of Queen Elizabeth II, King George VI, who succeeded his older brother. For tonight’s dinner, barbecue sauce flavoured the spare ribs; Jackie’s rice and green beans came with it. She drank Hoegaarden and I slurped Dao. This last verb was Jackie’s suggestion, when she pointed out that I had quaffed more than once recently. Not exactly couth, but there you have it. P.S. Further research suggests that our coin is in fact bronze. 13 For Jessica’s old friend Mary it was frogs; for Jackie’s sister Helen it is owls; for us it is mugs with birds on them, or in France, chickens. I speak of collections built up by friends. This is how it works. One person presents you with a frog, an owl, or a mug. These are noticed by others who give you another. Before you know where you are you are overrun with them. Sheila observed that a lot of our mugs depicted birds. We identified those on her morning coffee cup as wrens, our smallest common avians. The conversation developed into a discussion about the farthing. Until it was abolished in 1961 this, being our smallest piece of coinage, bore a wren on the reverse side. When we were all children one could buy a pink shrimp sweet, blackjack or fruit salad chew for a farthing each. A pair of shoes was available for £1/19/11¾ (a farthing under £2 in pre-decimal coinage). erratum slip: My friend Geoff Austin informs me he has a Victorian half-farthing. After a shopping trip to New Milton we visited Braxton Gardens near Everton, where the rose garden has now

Carl Sagan – Learning from Dogs Looking into self. Rounding off the week. Starting with Monday’s video of Carl Sagan reminding us all that Planet Earth is just a grain of sand in the vast cosmos right through to yesterday’s Dealing with madness post, much of the week has been reminding us all of one very fundamental truth. No better expressed than in a comment from Patrice Ayme [my emphasis]: … there is no healthy man without a healthy world. Regulars will have noted the high levels of debate this week. Thank you all for those comments. I have also received a couple of emails with feedback and comments, sent to me on a personal basis. One of those emails had such a powerful message that I begged for permission to publish it on Learning from Dogs. I was asked to keep the author’s identity private but, trust me, it is from someone I know well who subscribes to ideas of integrity and honesty in spades. The author also strongly recommended publishing in association with his personal essay an extract from Chris Hedges’ book “Death of the Liberal Class”. That extract follows straight on from the essay. oooOOOooo Reflections from a Vietnam Combat Veteran War is an unnatural dichotomy. Both sides are morally and materially diminished. A future World War would most probably finish us as the self-appointed predominant intelligent species on planet earth. It seems worth noting that German industrialists coordinated fundamentalist propaganda to foster the bigotry, hatred and fear which fueled their profitable war engines prior to World War II. United States commercial media today reflects a financially dominated military-industrial culture with liberty and justice for sale. The results are divisive and lead to both a declared international war against nebulous assailants we have been taught to dislike and an internal political war that has polarized our once fair nation. We’ve stopped investing in the future in response to radicals who want to destroy government, human rights and what remains of the earth’s surface resources. There is an emerging police state mentality on display with a variety of candidates for local dictator. It’s well past time for moderate republicans to ignore their uber-conservative brethren. It’s well past time for moderate democrats to renounce their corporate ties. This will only happen when our financial and political leaders awaken to the reality of what is in the best long-term interests for all life on this planet rather than our present unsustainable global economy. To complicate the problem, our planet is under attack by a swarm of vociferous human locusts seeking profit without regard to the consequences. Meanwhile, despite human denial, the universe continues to emerge. Species which do not adapt to change do not survive. It’s important to remember that we’re in the midst of a battle that’s as old as the conscious awareness of the human species. We generally have very little idea of the inclusive nature of our being; let alone the nature of our collective being as a species. We have as yet to learn how to surrender to reality. The battle is with our own species. Committing collective suicide for quarterly profit is not a sane way of life. What we’ve created is a neo-feudal global economy without any foundation that feeds on an empire of consumption. When we combine a neo-feudal economy with neo-fascist politics we arrive at a moral and biological dead end. The coup d’état of the current Corporate State is the Citizen’s United ruling that makes money a form of free speech. Money has no DNA. In case anyone missed how the “occupy” movement was crushed, there’s no question that we’re rapidly criminalizing all forms of dissent. These actions are being taking under the 1917 Espionage Act and related state secrets acts. No discernment of moral value is considered and no public hearings are conducted. People who speak up are locked up. We’ve become a fearful and secretive population. Our self-appointed elite power structure is completely irrational in its belief that human reason is

In the most simple case.. .. A billet from (150mm diameter to 400 mm diameter) is heated to hot working temperature for brass and extruded into a round section that is either in a straight length or coiled. The brass is soft at this point and not suitable for machining so it is cold worked by pulling or drawing the rod or wire through a steel die reducing the cross sectional area by about 20% (+/- 5%). The rods are then straightened and cut to length and supplied in bundles There are automatic drawing , straightening, and cutting machines that take an extruded coil and perform all 3 operations (draw, straighten, and cut) in line and the rod is packed or bundled off the machine. Other than simple copper wire, half -hard brass rod is likely one of the lowest cost copper alloys shapes to produce, particularity when the billets are big, the extrusion press is big , and automatic lines draw and package the rod. Many years ago , I worked as technical manager in a brass mill where billets that weighed just under a ton were extruded on an indirect 4500 Metric Ton Schloemann extrusion press at the rate of about 20 tons per hour - that's nearly 1 million pounds in 24 hours ! And most of it was sold as HALF HARD BRASS. Rod was also produced in hard temper, thread roll temper, etc, but that's for another question. Billets Heated and ready for extrusion Extruded Cold drawing to final size Brass Rods If you have time, a video of the extrusion press I discussed is here..

To check for crop maturity, dig up one or two plants, if the skins on the tubers are thin and rub off easily, the crop is not fully mature. The skins on mature potatoes remain firmly attached to the tubers. Roll-over image to enlarge. Rubbing the thumb across this potato shows the potato skin firm and stays in place.

Oral rehydration solution (ORS) (a slightly sweetened and salty water) can be used to prevent dehydration. Standard home solutions such as salted rice water, salted yogurt drinks, vegetable and chicken soups with salt can be given. Home solutions such as water in which cereal has been cooked, unsalted soup, green coconut water, weak tea (unsweetened), and unsweetened fresh fruit juices can have from half a teaspoon to full teaspoon of salt (from one-and-a-half to three grams) added per liter. Clean plain water can also be one of several fluids given. There are commercial solutions such as Pedialyte, and relief agencies such as UNICEF widely distribute packets of salts and sugar. A WHO publication for physicians recommends a homemade ORS consisting of one liter water with one teaspoon salt (3 grams) and two tablespoons sugar (18 grams) added (approximately the "taste of tears"). Rehydration Project recommends adding the same amount of sugar but only one-half a teaspoon of salt, stating that this more dilute approach is less risky with very little loss of effectiveness. Both agree that drinks with too much sugar or salt can make dehydration worse.

The term "Gothic architecture" originated as a pejorative description. Giorgio Vasari used the term "barbarous German style" in his Lives of the Artists to describe what is now considered the Gothic style, and in the introduction to the Lives he attributes various architectural features to "the Goths" whom he holds responsible for destroying the ancient buildings after they conquered Rome, and erecting new ones in this style. At the time in which Vasari was writing, Italy had experienced a century of building in the Classical architectural vocabulary revived in the Renaissance and seen as evidence of a new Golden Age of learning and refinement.

The number is a mathematical constant , the ratio of a circle 's circumference to its diameter , commonly approximated as 3.14159 . It has been represented by the Greek letter '' '' since the mid-18th century , though it is also sometimes spelled out as `` pi '' -LRB- -LSB- paɪ -RSB- -RRB- . Being an irrational number , can not be expressed exactly as a fraction -LRB- equivalently , its decimal representation never ends and never settles into a permanent repeating pattern -RRB- . Still , fractions such as 22/7 and other rational numbers are commonly used to approximate . The digits appear to be randomly distributed . In particular , the digit sequence of is conjectured to satisfy a specific kind of statistical randomness , but to date no proof of this has been discovered . Also , is a transcendental number ; that is , a number that is not the root of any non-zero polynomial having rational coefficients . This transcendence of implies that it is impossible to solve the ancient challenge of squaring the circle with a compass and straightedge . Ancient civilizations required fairly accurate computed values for for practical reasons . It was calculated to seven digits , using geometrical techniques , in Chinese mathematics , and to about five digits in Indian mathematics in the 5th century AD . The historically first exact formula for , based on infinite series , was not available until a millennium later , when in the 14th century the Madhava -- Leibniz series was discovered in Indian mathematics . In the 20th and 21st centuries , mathematicians and computer scientists discovered new approaches that , when combined with increasing computational power , extended the decimal representation of to many trillions of digits after the decimal point . Practically all scientific applications require no more than a few hundred digits of , and many substantially fewer , so the primary motivation for these computations is the quest to find more efficient algorithms for calculating lengthy numeric series , as well as the desire to break records . The extensive calculations involved have also been used to test supercomputers and high-precision multiplication algorithms . Because its most elementary definition relates to the circle , is found in many formulae in trigonometry and geometry , especially those concerning circles , ellipses , and spheres . In more modern mathematical analysis , the number is instead defined using the spectral properties of the real number system , as an eigenvalue or a period , without any reference to geometry . It appears therefore in areas of mathematics and the sciences having little to do with the geometry of circles , such as number theory and statistics , as well as in almost all areas of physics . The ubiquity of makes it one of the most widely known mathematical constants both inside and outside the scientific community ; several books devoted to it have been published , the number is celebrated on Pi Day , and record-setting calculations of the digits of often result in news headlines . Attempts to memorize the value of with increasing precision have led to records of over 70,000 digits .

Automated Clearing House Automated Clearing House From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search This article is about a specific payment system in the United States. For the generic concept of a payments clearing house, see Clearing house (finance). This article is part of a series on Banking in the United States of America Federal Reserve System Monetary policy Regulation Lending [show]Deposit accounts [show]Payment and transfer [show]Banking charters [show]United States portalv t e Automated Clearing House ( ACH) is an electronic network for financial transactions in the United States. ACH processes large volumes of credit and debit transactions in batches. ACH credit transfers include direct deposit, payroll and vendor payments. ACH direct debit transfers include consumer payments on insurance premiums, mortgage loans, and other kinds of bills. Debit transfers also include new applications such as the point-of-purchase (POP) check conversion pilot program sponsored by the National Automated Clearing House Association ( NACHA ). Both the government and the commercial sectors use ACH payments. Businesses increasingly use ACH online to have customers pay, rather than via credit or debit cards. [1]ACH is a computer-based clearing and settlement facility established to process the exchange of electronic transactions between participating depository institutions. Rules and regulations that govern the ACH network are established by NACHA and the Federal Reserve. In 2015, this network processed nearly 24 billion ACH transactions with a total value of $41.6 trillion. [2] Credit card payments are handled by separate networks. The Federal Reserve Banks, through the Fed ACH system, are collectively the nation's largest ACH operator. In 2005, they processed 60% of commercial interbank ACH transactions; the remaining 40% was processed by the Electronic Payments Network (EPN), the United States' only private-sector ACH operator. EPN and the Reserve Banks rely on each other for the processing of some transactions when either party to the transaction is not their customer. These interoperator transactions are settled by the Reserve Banks.

Despite his misgiving about having been typecast, he also agreed to reprise the role of Herman Munster for the 1981 TV reunion movie The Munsters' Revenge. Gwynne played Judge Chamberlain Haller in his last film, the 1992 comedy My Cousin Vinny. As a Yale Law School-educated judge in the film, he used a Southern accent in his verbal sparring with Joe Pesci's character, Vincent "Vinny" Gambini.

In 1903, Josiah White III bought a parcel of land near Ohio Avenue and the boardwalk and built the Queen Anne style Marlborough House. The hotel was a hit and, in 1905–06, he chose to expand the hotel and bought another parcel of land next door to his Marlborough House. In an effort to make his new hotel a source of conversation, White hired the architectural firm of Price and McLanahan. The firm made use of reinforced concrete, a new building material invented by Jean-Louis Lambot in 1848 (Joseph Monier received the patent in 1867). The hotel's Spanish and Moorish themes, capped off with its signature dome and chimneys, represented a step forward from other hotels that had a classically designed influence. White named the new hotel the Blenheim and merged the two hotels into the Marlborough-Blenheim. Bally's Atlantic City was later constructed at this location.

Although the advance in the Arakan had been halted to release troops and aircraft for the Battle of Imphal, the Americans and Chinese had continued to advance in northern Burma, aided by the Chindits operating against the Japanese lines of communication. In the middle of 1944 the Chinese Expeditionary Force invaded northern Burma from Yunnan province. They captured a fortified position at Mount Song. By the time campaigning ceased during the monsoon rains, the NCAC had secured a vital airfield at Myitkyina (August 1944), which eased the problems of air resupply from India to China over "The Hump".

I'll Be Good to You "I'll Be Good to You" is a 1976 hit song by R&B duo The Brothers Johnson. George Johnson, one of the two Johnson brothers in the band, wrote the song after deciding to commit to a relationship with one woman, instead of dating several at a time. While George was recording a demo for the song, family friend Senora Sam came by and added some lyrics.[1] Brothers Johnson producer and mentor Quincy Jones heard the song, liked it, and convinced George to sing lead on the finished track. Released from their debut album, Look Out for #1, it was a top-ten hit on the Billboard Hot Singles Charts, peaking at number three, and a number one song on the Billboard R&B Charts during the summer of 1976.[2] The single was later certified gold by the RIAA.

Due to the inter-communal ethnic tensions between 1963 and 1974, an island-wide census was regarded as impossible. Nevertheless, the Greek Cypriots conducted one in 1973, without the Turkish Cypriot populace. According to this census, the Greek Cypriot population was 482,000. One year later, in 1974, the Cypriot government's Department of Statistics and Research estimated the total population of Cyprus at 641,000; of whom 506,000 (78.9%) were Greeks, and 118,000 (18.4%) Turkish. After the partition of the island in 1974, Greeks conducted four more censuses: in 1976, 1982, 1992 and 2001; these excluded the Turkish population which was resident in the northern part of the island.

The poor performance of the Portuguese economy was explored in April 2007 by The Economist, which described Portugal as "a new sick man of Europe". From 2002 to 2007, the number of unemployed increased by 65% (270,500 unemployed citizens in 2002, 448,600 unemployed citizens in 2007). By early December 2009, the unemployment rate had reached 10.2% – a 23-year record high. In December 2009, ratings agency Standard & Poor's lowered its long-term credit assessment of Portugal to "negative" from "stable," voicing pessimism on the country's structural weaknesses in the economy and weak competitiveness that would hamper growth and the capacity to strengthen its public finances and reduce debt. In July 2011, ratings agency Moody's downgraded its long-term credit assessment of Portugal after warning of deteriorating risk of default in March 2011.

Sean Michael Spicer -LRB- born September 23 , 1971 -RRB- is the current White House Press Secretary and former communications director for President Donald Trump . Spicer was communications director of the Republican National Committee from 2011 to 2017 , and its chief strategist from 2015 to 2017 . As press secretary , Spicer has drawn criticism for making numerous false or controversial statements , as well as for displaying combative behavior with the press . The first such instance occurred on the day following Trump 's inauguration . Spicer repeated the claim that crowds at the ceremony were the largest ever at such an event and that the press had deliberately under-estimated the number of spectators . Trump aide Kellyanne Conway defended Spicer 's action by stating that he had presented what she called `` alternative facts '' regarding the inauguration 's attendance numbers . Some commentators have compared Spicer 's role in the Trump administration to the role played for Saddam Hussein by Information Minister Muhammad Saeed al-Sahhaf , known in the United States as Baghdad Bob . Spicer originally stated that the Trump inauguration was `` the most watched ever '' , but when that statement was debunked , he said that he had been referring not only to live attendees at the ceremony or those watching on TV , but also viewers who had watched the inauguration online . However , no conclusive figures are available for online viewers , so the claim is unverifiable .

BBC - History - British History in depth: Prime Ministers and Politics Timeline On This Day Prime Ministers and Politics Timeline Do you know which prime minister brought 'fallen women' to 10 Downing Street? Or which one fought a duel? Or who was known as 'the Goat'? Take a political journey through nearly 300 years of high ideals and low cunning, from Gordon Brown to the first man to hold prime ministerial powers, Robert Walpole. Margaret Thatcher Conservative, 1979 - 1990 Britain's first female prime minister came to power with the country descending into industrial and economic chaos. A relatively inexperienced politician, she nonetheless adopted a personal style of indomitable self-confidence and brooked no weakness in herself or her colleagues. Derisively dubbed the 'Iron Lady' by the Soviet press, she wore the moniker with pride. Her government's free-market policies included trade liberalisation, deregulation, sweeping privatisation, breaking the power of the unions, focus on the individual and the creation of an 'enterprise culture'. 'Thatcherism' has had a profound and lasting economic and social impact on Britain, and still sharply divides opinion to this day. The first PM to serve three consecutive terms (including two 'landslide' victories) she was eventually toppled by her own party following the disastrous imposition of a 'poll tax'. Nonetheless, she is generally considered to be one of the best peace time prime ministers of the 20th Century. James Callaghan Labour, 1976 - 1979 Callaghan inherited the office of prime minister following the surprise resignation of Harold Wilson. With only a tiny parliamentary majority to support him, he faced an increasingly one-sided confrontation with organised labour in the form of rampant strike action. Things came to a head in the so-called 'Winter of Discontent', a phrase from Shakespeare borrowed by Callaghan himself to describe the events leading up to February 1979. Britain was 'strikebound', with public servants staging mass walk outs, leaving food and fuel supplies undelivered, rubbish uncollected and - most notoriously - bodies unburied. Things became so bad in Hull it was dubbed 'the second Stalingrad'. The tabloid press has since been accused of overstating the severity of the situation (and wrongly quoting him as saying 'Crisis? What Crisis?') but it was enough at the time to sound the death knell for Callaghan's government later in the same year. Harold Wilson Labour, 1974 - 1976 In March 1974, Wilson became prime minister for the third time at the head of a minority government, following the first hung parliament (one where no party holds a majority) for 45 years. Often described as a wily fixer and negotiator, it took all of his skills to hold on to power in the face of economic and industrial turmoil. His party was also sharply divided, with many Labour members of parliament (MPs) bitter about Wilson's manoeuvring against his colleagues. He called another general election in October 1974, thereby ending the shortest parliament since 1681, and was returned to office with a majority of just three seats. He presided over a referendum on Britain's membership of the European Economic Community (EEC), and a collapse in the value of the pound which prompted a humiliating 'rescue operation' by the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Exhausted, Wilson resigned saying 'politicians should not go on and on'. Edward Heath Conservative, 1970 - 1974 Heath succeeded in taking Britain into the European Economic Community (EEC), the precursor to the European Union, despite two previous failed attempts by Britain to gain entry, in 1961 and 1967. But his government was dogged by torrid industrial relations and recurrent economic crises. Things came to a head in January 1974, when industry was put on a 'three-day week' to conserve fuel. Fuel was in dangerously short supply following a combination of domestic industrial action (coal miners on 'work-to-rule') and a quadrupling of prices by Middle Eastern oil exporting nations in the wake of Israel's victory in the Yom Kipp

On a computer, programs tend to have "root access". This means that a program can edit parts of your computer other than the program installation itself. (eg: the registry) When a program needs to edit other parts of your computer, the computer needs to restart for these changes to take effect. Other programs may be using the same areas that the new program is trying to edit to install itself, or certain logs may need to be refreshed when the computer restarts. When you restart your computer, it refreshes those other areas and the computer knows about the new changes. Unlike a computer, when you install an app on your phone, that app only has access to the part of you phone designated for that app. (Like workers, restricted to their own cubicle.) Because the app doesn't need to edit more critical areas of your phone, it doesn't need to restart the whole system for those changes to take effect.

The reason for slippery elm to appear in the list of home remedies for dermatitis is due to its mucilage content which is effective at moisturizing the skin and improving the healing process. How to use: 1 Take some slippery elm leaves to grind to form a paste. Use the paste to apply onto the affected skin.

Well, nothing is ever free. So it's not a comparison of "can see" vs. "can't see", where they both cost the organism the same amount of energy. Eyes cost energy to build, maintain, and use. They can also get infected and wounded easily. So it's more a comparison of "can see" vs. "can't see, but need less food, and less susceptible to infection". In some environments, you can probably understand how that would be a good tradeoff.

Laing's definition of identity closely follows Erikson's, in emphasising the past, present and future components of the experienced self. He also develops the concept of the "metaperspective of self", i.e. the self's perception of the other's view of self, which has been found to be extremely important in clinical contexts such as anorexia nervosa. (Saunderson and O'Kane, 2005). Harré also conceptualises components of self/identity – the "person" (the unique being I am to myself and others) along with aspects of self (including a totality of attributes including beliefs about one's characteristics including life history), and the personal characteristics displayed to others.

Peace bond The use of peace bonds is rather uncommon in the U.S. justice system,[dubious – discuss] but a deferred prosecution has a similar effect. Since there is no conviction or admission of any guilt, signing a peace bond in Canada does not usually result in U.S. inadmissibility under INA § 212 (a) (2).

The person or organization submits a HCP and if approved by the agency (FWS or NMFS), will be issued an Incidental Take Permit (ITP) which allows a certain number of "takes" of the listed species. The permit may be revoked at any time and can allow incidental takes for varying amounts of time. For instance, the San Bruno Habitat Conservation Plan/ Incidental Take Permit is good for 30 years and the Wal-Mart store (in Florida) permit expires after one year. Because the permit is issued by a federal agency to a private party, it is a federal action-which means other federal laws can apply, such as the National Environmental Policy Act or NEPA. A notice of the permit application action is published in the Federal Register and a public comment period of 30 to 90 days begins.

Auckland Harbour Bridge Paid for by government-backed loans,[23] the bridge started out as a toll bridge, the first one in New Zealand,[17] with toll booths at the northern end for north-bound and south-bound traffic. Tolls were originally 2/6 (2 shillings and six pence: approximately $5.46[25] in 2014) per car but were reduced to 2/- (2 shillings: approximately $4.27[25] in 2014) after 15 months of operation. The toll remained at 2 shillings until New Zealand changed to decimal currency in July 1967, when that amount became 20 cents in the conversion. Tolls were increased in 1980 from 20 to 25 cents (approximately $1.17[25] in 2014) by Prime Minister Robert Muldoon, and this contributed to the National Party's loss of the 1980 by-election in the East Coast Bays electorate.[26][27] Tolling was later made north-bound only before being discontinued on 30 March 1984, and the booths were removed.[28] This was in line with political commitments that tolls would be charged only until construction costs were paid off.

Best Answer: IMAX is a special kind of theater. Most of the time an IMAX theater is much larger than a standard movie theater. The seats lean back and you watch the movie on a giant screen on the ceiling. It is a really cool experience because it engulfs you and you feel like your actually there. Definitely a good experience.

9 Largest Fish Ever Caught 9 Largest Fish Ever Caught July 28, 2011By Esteban Writer for Total Pro Sports Since July 11, 2011Share Share UPDATE: Fisherman all over the world continue to keep their beer-weary eyes on the biggest fish ever caught. That’s as true today as it was in 2011, and since records were made to be broken and all, it makes sense that there’d be some whoppers reported on in that intervening time span. To keep up, we’re throwing a couple bonus giant fish back into the river (in this metaphor, “the river” is the slideshow) for you to do with what you will. Enjoy. Every sport fisherman dreams of catching “the big one,” a world-record lunker that will get his or her name forever etched in the annals of fishing history. Of course, most of us understand we’ll never realize this dream, and would instead be perfectly content to set a new personal best every couple of years. But there are people who have lived the dream—people who have landed monster fish certified by the International Game Fish Association as world records. So, to inspire anglers everywhere and keep dreams alive, here are 9 of the largest fish ever caught ( by species ).5. Largemouth Bass On May 1, 2005 Fishermen in northern Thailand netted what scientists believe is the largest freshwater fish ever recorded, let alone caught. At 9 feet long and 646 pounds, the Mekong giant catfish ( Pangasianodon gigas) was the size of an adult grizzly bear. Since this species of fish is considered critically endangered, the fishermen tried their best to keep the brute alive, but were unsuccessful. It was later eaten by local villagers.4. Mekong Giant “Grizzly Bear” Catfish The swordfish ( Xiphias gladius) world record was set all the way back on May 7, 1953 off the coast of Iquique, Chile, by Lou Marron. The fish Marron landed after a grueling 2-hour fight was 179.25 inches long and weighed 1,182 pounds. It was one of the heaviest fish ever caught on rod and reel. Today, the restored mount of the fish is on display at the International Game Fish Association Fishing Hall of Fame & Museum in Miami, FL.3. Swordfish The record for Atlantic Blue Marlin ( Makaira nigricans) has the distinction of being set on a Leap Day. On Feburary 29, 1992, after an 80 minute battle, Paulo Amorim landed a whopper off the coast of Vitória, Brazil that weighed in at 1,402 pounds. This beat the old record by an impressive 120 pounds.2. Atlantic Blue Marlin Ken Fraser caught the world’s biggest Atlantic Bluefin Tuna ( Thunnus thynnus) in Aulds Cove, Nova Scotia back on October 26, 1979. He landed the 1,496 pound fish in an impressive 45 minutes, and has been basking in the glory ever since. These days, Ken Fraser has a slick website which he uses to peddle the book he wrote about his catch, Possessed. (Perhaps the book would be more appropriately titled Obsessed?)1. Atlantic Bluefin Tuna Intro Giant Monster Fish - a Sturgeon 1100 lbs and over 12 feet! Your browser does not currently recognize any of the video formats available. Click here to visit our frequently asked questions about HTML5 video. The Fraser River is famous for being home to a lot of bigger-than-average white sturgeon, but that didn't stop this 1,100 pounder from shocking the people who caught it in 2012.

I'm not sure that this technically counts as having been "caught," since this 18-ft oarfish was already dead when it was discovered by a scuba diver. But when you look at the size of that damn thing, I think you'll agree it deserves an honorable mention. Bonus: Oarfish This world record blue catfish ( Ictalurus furcatus) was landed by 47-year-old Missouri resident Greg Bernal at 1:30 A. M. on July 21, 2010. He caught the beast with rod and reel in the Missouri River. At 57 inches long, 45 inches in girth, and a whopping 130 pounds, the fish beats five-year-old previous world record—also caught in Missouri—by a solid 6 pounds.9. Blue Catfish Keiki Hamasaki of Kagoshima, Japan caught this 160 lb. 7 oz. giant grevally ( Caranx ignoblis) not far from his hometown on May 22, 2006. Casting a lure from the shore on a 130-pound test line, it took him 35 minutes to hall the fish in. It beat the previous record, set by Russel Mori, by 25 pounds.8. Giant Trevally The giant tigerfish ( Hydrocynus goliath ), found in rivers throughout central Africa, is famous (and almost certainly named) for its giant teeth. These teeth can take a chunk out of just about anything, including human limbs, so fishing for these things can be quite hazardous to one’s health. The world record giant tigerfish, caught on rod and real and pictured here, was landed on July 9, 1988 by Raymond Houtmans. It weighed a whopping 97 pounds.7. Giant Tigerfish The absolutely terrifying Alligator Gar ( Atractosteus spatula) is typically found in the Southeastern portion of the United States, but they have been seen as far north as Illinois and as far south as Veracruz, Mexico. Historically despised because they feed on prized game fish like largemouth bass—and because they are scary as hell—recently there has been a surge in “Gar hunting.” The one pictured here, for example, may be the world record for Alligator Gar killed by bow and arrow. It was shot in Texas by John Paul Morris, the son of Bass Pro Shops CEO Johnny Morris. The beast measured 8’3” and weighed 230 pounds!6. Alligator Gar In North America, the largemouth bass ( Micropterus salmonides) record is considered the “holy grail” of freshwater fishing records. This is primarily due to two factors. First, largemouth bass are among the most sought-after game fish, and bass fishing is a billion dollar industry. Second, the world record for largemouth bass is one of the oldest and most revered in the world, having stood for an incredible 77 years. And while this hallowed record has not yet fallen, it has been tied. Manabu Kurita of Aichi, Japan caught a 22 lb. 4 oz. bass on July 2, 2009 in Lake Biwa near Kyoto, tying the record set by George Perry of Jacksonville, Georgia on June 2, 1932. There was much debate and quite a bit of controversy surrounding this record-setting catch, given the sanctity of the record involved, but the International Game Fish Association went to great lengths to verify the record—even subjecting Mr. Kurita to a polygraph test, which he passed. So, the record is officially tied.

In the early 21st century the Cypriot economy has diversified and become prosperous. However, in 2012 it became affected by the Eurozone financial and banking crisis. In June 2012, the Cypriot government announced it would need €1.8 billion in foreign aid to support the Cyprus Popular Bank, and this was followed by Fitch downgrading Cyprus's credit rating to junk status. Fitch said Cyprus would need an additional €4 billion to support its banks and the downgrade was mainly due to the exposure of Bank of Cyprus, Cyprus Popular Bank and Hellenic Bank, Cyprus's three largest banks, to the Greek financial crisis.

Plant circadian rhythms tell the plant what season it is and when to flower for the best chance of attracting pollinators. Behaviors showing rhythms include leaf movement, growth, germination, stomatal/gas exchange, enzyme activity, photosynthetic activity, and fragrance emission, among others. Circadian rhythms occur as a plant entrains to synchronize with the light cycle of its surrounding environment. These rhythms are endogenously generated and self-sustaining and are relatively constant over a range of ambient temperatures. Important features include two interacting transcription-translation feedback loops: proteins containing PAS domains, which facilitate protein-protein interactions; and several photoreceptors that fine-tune the clock to different light conditions. Anticipation of changes in the environment allows appropriate changes in a plant's physiological state, conferring an adaptive advantage. A better understanding of plant circadian rhythms has applications in agriculture, such as helping farmers stagger crop harvests to extend crop availability and securing against massive losses due to weather.

The brains of vertebrates are made of very soft tissue. Living brain tissue is pinkish on the outside and mostly white on the inside, with subtle variations in color. Vertebrate brains are surrounded by a system of connective tissue membranes called meninges that separate the skull from the brain. Blood vessels enter the central nervous system through holes in the meningeal layers. The cells in the blood vessel walls are joined tightly to one another, forming the blood–brain barrier, which blocks the passage of many toxins and pathogens (though at the same time blocking antibodies and some drugs, thereby presenting special challenges in treatment of diseases of the brain).

A broad operational definition is sometimes used to encompass the complexity of these diverse phenomena, where a gene is defined as a union of genomic sequences encoding a coherent set of potentially overlapping functional products. This definition categorizes genes by their functional products (proteins or RNA) rather than their specific DNA loci, with regulatory elements classified as gene-associated regions.

What's the average salary of a chief financial officer (CFO)? A: While the average yearly salary of a chief financial officer (CFO) can vary based on a number of factors, the median compensation for a CFO in the United States as of November 2017 is $313,541 per year, according to Salary.com. CFOs within the bottom 10th percentile should expect to earn $177,928 per year, while those in the 90th percentile should expect to earn $473,450 per year. The primary factors that impact the median salary of a CFO includes geographic location and the experience and personal qualifications of the CFO. Base salary makes up roughly 60% of the total compensation a CFO should receive within a given year. The other areas of compensation are bonuses and benefits. When bonuses are included in salaries, the median total compensation for a CFO is $425,427 per year. Those within the bottom 25th percentile should expect to earn $296,817 per year, and those within the 75th percentile should expect to earn $606,924 per year. Bonuses comprise approximately 20% of the yearly compensation for the average CFO. Finally, aside from salary and bonuses, CFOs should expect to receive benefits as well. These include Social Security, 401 (k), disability, healthcare, pension and time off. The value of these benefits for the average CFO is about 20% of his or her total compensation.
