The Ottomans controlled much of Northern Africa between the 14th and 19th centuries , and had vassal arrangements with a number of Saharan states . <P> Mansa Musa ruled the Mali Empire in the 14th century . </P> <H3> Height of slave trade </H3> See also : Arab slave trade and Atlantic slave trade Arab -- Swahili slave traders and their captives along the Ruvuma River ( in today 's Tanzania and Mozambique ) as witnessed by David Livingstone <P> Slavery had long been practiced in Africa . Between the 7th and 20th centuries , Arab slave trade ( also known as slavery in the East ) took 18 million slaves from Africa via trans - Saharan and Indian Ocean routes . Between the 15th and the 19th centuries , the Atlantic slave trade took an estimated 7 -- 12 million slaves to the New World . More than 1 million Europeans were captured by Barbary pirates and sold as slaves in North Africa between the 16th and 19th centuries . </P> <P> In West Africa , the decline of the Atlantic slave trade in the 1820s caused dramatic economic shifts in local polities . The gradual decline of slave - trading , prompted by a lack of demand for slaves in the New World , increasing anti-slavery legislation in Europe and America , and the British Royal Navy 's increasing presence off the West African coast , obliged African states to adopt new economies . Between 1808 and 1860 , the British West Africa Squadron seized approximately 1,600 slave ships and freed 150,000 Africans who were aboard . </P> Slave being inspected , from Captain Canot ; or , Twenty Years of an African Slaver <P> Action was also taken against African leaders who refused to agree to British treaties to outlaw the trade , for example against `` the usurping King of Lagos '' , deposed in 1851 . Anti-slavery treaties were signed with over 50 African rulers . The largest powers of West Africa ( the Asante Confederacy , the Kingdom of Dahomey , and the Oyo Empire ) adopted different ways of adapting to the shift . Asante and Dahomey concentrated on the development of `` legitimate commerce '' in the form of palm oil , cocoa , timber and gold , forming the bedrock of West Africa 's modern export trade . The Oyo Empire , unable to adapt , collapsed into civil wars . </P> <H3> Colonialism and the `` scramble for Africa '' </H3> Main article : Colonization of Africa Further information : Scramble for Africa The Mahdist War was a colonial war fought between the Mahdist Sudanese and the British forces . Areas of Africa under the sovereignty or influence of the colonial powers in 1913 , along with modern borders . Belgium Germany Spain France United Kingdom Italy Portugal independent <P> In the late 19th century , the European imperial powers engaged in a major territorial scramble and occupied most of the continent , creating many colonial territories , and leaving only two fully independent states : Ethiopia ( known to Europeans as `` Abyssinia '' ) , and Liberia . Egypt and Sudan were never formally incorporated into any European colonial empire ; however , after the British occupation of 1882 , Egypt was effectively under British administration until 1922 . </P> <H3> Berlin Conference </H3> <P> The Berlin Conference held in 1884 -- 85 was an important event in the political future of African ethnic groups . It was convened by King Leopold II of Belgium , and attended by the European powers that laid claim to African territories . The Berlin Conference sought to end the European powers ' Scramble for Africa , by agreeing on political division and spheres of influence . They set up the political divisions of the continent , by spheres of interest , that exist in Africa today . </P> <H3> Independence struggles </H3> <P> Imperial rule by Europeans would continue until after the conclusion of World War II , when almost all remaining colonial territories gradually obtained formal independence . Independence movements in Africa gained momentum following World War II , which left the major European powers weakened . In 1951 , Libya , a former Italian colony , gained independence . In 1956 , Tunisia and Morocco won their independence from France . Ghana followed suit the next year ( March 1957 ) , becoming the first of the sub-Saharan colonies to be granted independence . Most of the rest of the continent became independent over the next decade . </P> <P> Portugal 's overseas presence in Sub-Saharan Africa ( most notably in Angola , Cape Verde , Mozambique , Guinea - Bissau and São Tomé and Príncipe ) lasted from the 16th century to 1975 , after the Estado Novo regime was overthrown in a military coup in Lisbon . Rhodesia unilaterally declared independence from the United Kingdom in 1965 , under the white minority government of Ian Smith , but was not internationally recognized as an independent state ( as Zimbabwe ) until 1980 , when black nationalists gained power after a bitter guerrilla war . Although South Africa was one of the first African countries to gain independence , the state remained under the control of the country 's white minority through a system of racial segregation known as apartheid until 1994 . </P> <H3> Post-colonial Africa </H3> Mobutu Sese Seko , Zaire 's longtime dictator , embezzled over $5 billion from his country . <P> Today , Africa contains 54 sovereign countries , most of which have borders that were drawn during the era of European colonialism .

It is the first lift to join the two side - by - side mountains . It held the world record for the longest free span between ropeway towers -- 3.03 kilometres ( 1.88 miles ) until 2017 when the Eibsee Cable Car exceeded it by 189m . It is still the highest point above the ground -- 436 metres ( 1,430 feet . ) ( A temporary aerial tramway in Switzerland used between 1979 and 1986 had larger span . ) The Peak 2 Peak Gondola was built by the Doppelmayr Garaventa Group in 2007 and 2008 at a cost of CDN $51 million . The Peak 2 Peak Gondola is the first Doppelmayr `` 3S '' tri-cable lift in North America ; there are four similar but smaller lifts in Europe which were built in 1991 , 1994 , 2002 , 2004 and 2010 in Switzerland , Austria , France and Germany . Whistler - Blackcomb has touted the gondola as an iconic attraction and uses it to transport skiers in the winter months as well as sightseers year round . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History and planning </Li> <Li> 2 Construction </Li> <Li> 3 Criticism </Li> <Li> 4 Features <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Statistics </Li> <Li> 4.2 Cables </Li> <Li> 4.3 Terminals </Li> <Li> 4.4 Towers </Li> <Li> 4.5 Cabins </Li> <Li> 4.6 Safety systems </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 In the media </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History and planning ( edit ) </H2> <P> Whistler Mountain was opened by the Garibaldi Lift Company in 1965 and Blackcomb opened under separate ownership in 1980 . It was n't until 1997 when Intrawest , the owner of Blackcomb Mountain , bought Whistler Mountain and brought both mountains together on a single lift ticket . Ever since , many skiers wanted a way to be able to ski both mountains in one day without having to ski down to the village and ride multiple lifts to get back to the alpine . In 1997 , Whistler - Blackcomb 's Director of Mountain Operations , Hugh Smythe , and Paul Mathews , president of Ecosign Mountain Resort Planners , took a trip to Zermatt , Switzerland . After seeing the number of lifts connecting resorts around the Matterhorn , they got the idea of connecting Whistler and Blackcomb Mountains with a ropeway . </P> <P> A number of problems prevented a connection for years . Fitzsimmons Creek and the steep faces on either side were unsuitable as ski terrain and are protected land . A traditional chairlift or gondola would have had to go all the way down one mountain , across Fitzsimmons Creek , and up the other side , resulting in a long lift ride and environmental impacts . A gondola that could cross the valley without going to the bottom was the best option . Whistler - Blackcomb had to consider the extremely high cost of building such a lift . The resort conducted research that indicated 92 % of winter visitors and 86 % of summer visitors would use the gondola at least once . HSBC Bank Canada and Scotia Capital agreed to provide Intrawest with financing for the project , allowing it to move forward . </P> <P> Intrawest announced the gondola project to employees and the Municipality of Whistler 's Council on September 19 , 2005 , and held a community open house shortly thereafter . At the time , construction was expected to start in the summer of 2006 and continue for 2 years for an opening for the 2007 - 2008 ski season . On March 30 , 2006 , it was announced that construction would be delayed by one year . Whistler Blackcomb announced on April 17 , 2007 , that groundbreaking would occur in May 2007 . </P> <H2> Construction ( edit ) </H2> The Peak 2 Peak Gondola 's Blackcomb Terminal under construction in July 2008 . The Peak 2 Peak Gondola 's Whistler Terminal under construction in July 2008 . <P> Whistler - Blackcomb broke ground for the Peak 2 Peak Gondola in a ceremony on May 21 , 2007 . The Doppelmayr Garaventa Group would supply the gondola itself and Timberline Construction was the general contractor and Glotman Simpson were the Consulting Engineers . Fatzer AG of Switzerland would make the four track cables and one haul rope that would carry the gondolas across the valley while CWA , also of Switzerland , would build the 28 gondola cabins . </P> <P> 80 workers from Whistler Blackcomb , Doppelmayr Garaventa , Timberline Construction and North Construction worked throughout the summer of 2007 . Work completed on the Blackcomb side by that summer included the relocation of the top terminals of the Solar Coaster Express and Catskinner chairlifts on Blackcomb , excavation of both terminal locations , foundations for both terminals , foundations for all four intermediate towers , and steel erection of towers 2 and 3 . Construction stopped for the winter in November 2007 . </P> <P> During the winter , the remaining two gondola towers and each terminal 's machinery were built at the Garaventa factory in Goldau , Switzerland and the Doppelmayr factories in Wolfurt , Austria and St. Jerome , Quebec . Fatzer AG manufactured the four track cables and haul rope that would suspend the gondola cabins . The five spools of cable left Europe by ship on April 10 , 2008 . By the time construction started again in the spring of 2008 , ten feet of snow still covered the mountains and concrete had to be transported up the mountain by helicopter .

On February 28 , 1861 , the Provisional Confederate Congress established a provisional volunteer army and gave control over military operations and authority for mustering state forces and volunteers to the newly chosen Confederate president , Jefferson Davis ( 1808 - 1889 ) . Davis was a graduate of the U.S. Military Academy on the Hudson River at West Point , New York , and colonel of a volunteer regiment during the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 - 1848 ) . He had also been a United States Senator from Mississippi and U.S. Secretary of War in the administration of 14th President Franklin Pierce ( 1853 - 1857 ) . On March 1 , 1861 , Davis assumed control of the military situation at Charleston , South Carolina on behalf of the Confederate States government , where South Carolina state militia threatened to seize Fort Sumter , an island fortification in Charleston harbor from the small U.S. Army garrison . By March 1861 , the Provisional Confederate Congress expanded the provisional forces and established a more permanent Confederate States Army . </P> <P> An accurate count of the total number of individuals who served in the Confederate Army is not possible due to incomplete and destroyed Confederate records ; all but extremely improbable estimates of the total number of Confederate soldiers range between 600,000 and 1,500,000 men . The better estimates of the number of individual Confederate soldiers are between 750,000 and 1,000,000 men . This does not include an unknown number of slaves who were pressed into performing various tasks for the army , such as construction of fortifications and defenses or driving wagons . Since these figures include estimates of the total number of individual soldiers who served at any time during the war , they do not represent the size of the army at any given date . These numbers do not include men who served in Confederate States Navy . </P> <P> Although most of the soldiers who fought in the American Civil War were volunteers , both sides by 1862 resorted to conscription , primarily as a means to force men to register and to volunteer . In the absence of exact records , estimates of the percentage of Confederate soldiers who were draftees are about double the 6 percent of United States soldiers who were conscripts . </P> <P> Confederate casualty figures also are incomplete and unreliable . The best estimates of the number of deaths of Confederate soldiers are about 94,000 killed or mortally wounded in battle , 164,000 deaths from disease and between 26,000 and 31,000 deaths in United States prison camps . One estimate of Confederate wounded , which is considered incomplete , is 194,026 . These numbers do not include men who died from other causes such as accidents , which would add several thousand to the death toll . </P> <P> The main Confederate armies , the Army of Northern Virginia under General Robert E. Lee and the remnants of the Army of Tennessee and various other units under General Joseph E. Johnston , surrendered to the U.S. on April 9 , 1865 ( officially April 12 ) , and April 18 , 1865 ( officially April 26 ) . Other Confederate forces surrendered between April 16 , 1865 and June 28 , 1865 . By the end of the war , more than 100,000 Confederate soldiers had deserted . The Confederacy 's government effectively dissolved when it fled Richmond in April and exerted no control of the remaining armies . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Prelude </Li> <Li> 2 Establishment <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Control and conscription </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Morale and motivations <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Religion </Li> <Li> 3.2 Slavery and white supremacism </Li> <Li> 3.3 Desertion </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Organization <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Command </Li> <Li> 4.2 | The actual name of the confederate force at Gettysburg was the | [

The upstream sector includes searching for potential underground or underwater crude oil and natural gas fields , drilling exploratory wells , and subsequently drilling and operating the wells that recover and bring the crude oil or raw natural gas to the surface . There has been a significant shift toward including unconventional gas as a part of the upstream sector , and corresponding developments in liquefied natural gas ( LNG ) processing and transport . </P> <P> Upstream Industry has traditionally experienced the highest number of Mergers , Acquisitions and Divestitures . M&A activity for upstream oil and gas deals in 2012 totaled $254 billion in 679 deals . A large chunk of this M&A , 33 % in 2012 , was driven by the unconventional / shale boom especially in the US followed by the Russian Federation and Canada . </P> <P> The aggregate value of Upstream E&P assets available for sale ( Deals in Play ) reached a record - high of $135 billion in Q3 - 2013 . The value of Deals in Play doubled from $46 billion in 2009 to $90 billion in 2010 . With ongoing M&A activity the level remained almost the same reaching $85 billion in Dec - 2012 . However , the first half of 2013 saw approximately $48 billion of net new assets coming on the market . Remarkably , the total value of Deals in Play in Q3 - 2013 nearly tripled over 2009 at $46 billion , in less than four years . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Business </Li> <Li> 2 Upstream in ISO </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Business ( edit ) </H2> <P> This categorization comes from value chain concepts , even before formal development Value Chain Management . </P> <Ul> <Li> Integrated Oil & Gas Company : </Li> </Ul> <P> A company that has upstream as well as downstream operations .

-6137128706340485777 | New York City . The riot at the end of the first act is based on the East Village riot in 1988 that arose as a result of the city - imposed curfew in Tompkins Square Park . </P> <P> `` Will I ? '' , a song which takes place during a Life Support meeting and expresses the pain and fear of living a life with AIDS , was inspired by a real event . Larson attended a meeting of Friends in Deed , an organization that helps people deal with illness and grief , much like Life Support . After that first time , Larson attended the meetings regularly . During one meeting , a man stood up and said that he was not afraid of dying . He did say , however , that there was one thing of which he was afraid : Would he lose his dignity ? From this question stemmed the first line of this song . The people present at the Life Support meeting in the show , such as Gordon , Ali and Pam , carry the names of Larson 's friends who died . In the Broadway show , the names of the characters in that particular scene ( they introduce themselves ) were changed nightly to honor the friends of the cast members who were living with or have died from AIDS . </P> <P> The scene and song `` Life Support '' were also based on Friends in Deed , as well as on Gordon , Pam , and Ali . Originally , the members of Life Support had a solid block of the `` forget regret '' refrain , and they talked about remembering love . When Jonathan 's HIV positive friends heard this scene , they told him that having AIDS was not so easy to accept : it made you angry and resentful too , and the song did not match that . Jonathan then added a part where Gordon says that he has a problem with this `` credo ... my T - cells are low , I regret that news , okay ? '' Paul , the leader of the meeting , replies , `` Okay ... but , Gordon , how do you feel today ? '' Gordon admits that he is feeling the best that he has felt all year . Paul asks , `` Then why choose fear ? '' Gordon says , `` I 'm a New Yorker . Fear 's my life . '' </P> <H3> Lynn Thomson law suit ( edit ) </H3> <P> Lynn Thomson was a dramaturg who was hired by New York Theatre Workshop to help rework Rent . She claimed that between early May and the end of October 1995 , she and Larson co-wrote a `` new version '' of the musical . She sued the Larson estate for $40 million USD and sought 16 % of the show 's royalties , claiming she had written a significant portion of the lyrics and the libretto of the `` new version '' of Rent . </P> <P> During the trial , Thomson could not recall the lyrics to the songs that she allegedly wrote , nor the structures of the libretto she claimed to have created . The judge ruled against her and gave the Jonathan Larson Estate full credit and right to Rent . A federal appellate court upheld the original ruling on appeal . In August 1998 , the case was settled out of court . The terms of the settlement were not disclosed . </P> <H2> Synopsis ( edit ) </H2> Rent at David Nederlander Theatre in Manhattan , New York City <H3> Act I ( edit ) </H3> <P> On Christmas Eve in Manhattan 's East Village , two roommates -- Mark , a filmmaker , and Roger , a rock musician -- struggle to stay warm and produce their art ( `` Tune Up # 1 '' ) . Mark 's mother leaves him a voicemail wishing him a merry Christmas and trying to comfort him since his ex-girlfriend Maureen dumped him ( `` Voice Mail # 1 '' ) . Their friend Collins , a bisexual anarchist Ivy League professor , calls and plans to surprise them at their apartment , but is mugged before entering . At the same time , Mark and Roger 's former roommate Benny , who has since become their harsh new landlord , has reneged on an earlier agreement and now demands last year 's rent , before shutting down their electrical power ( `` Tune Up # 2 '' ) . However , Mark and Roger rebel and pledge to not pay the rent they were promised would n't be a problem ( `` Rent '' ) . Meanwhile , a cross-dressing street drummer ( currently out of drag ) named Angel finds Collins wounded in an alley and tends to him ( `` You Okay Honey ? '' ) . The two are immediately attracted to each other , and learn that they are both HIV positive . Roger also has HIV which he contracted from his last girlfriend , who committed suicide , causing Roger to fall into a deep depression . Mark goes looking for Collins ( `` Tune Up # 3 '' ) , while Roger wishes to write one last song to be remembered by before he dies ( `` One Song Glory '' ) . An exotic dancer , junkie , and neighbor , Mimi , shows up to flirt with Roger , but he is clearly hesitant to start a new relationship ( `` Light My Candle '' ) . Meanwhile , Joanne , a lawyer and Maureen 's girlfriend , receives a voicemail from her parents ( `` Voice Mail # 2 '' ) . </P> <P> At last , the missing Collins enters the apartment , presenting Angel , who is now in full drag and shares the money she made and the amusing story of how she killed a dog to earn it ( | The written dialogue portion of a musical is called the | [

A and B were stored on the roof of the officers ' quarters , on either side of number 1 funnel . There were no davits to lower them and their weight would make them difficult to launch by hand . Each boat carried ( among other things ) food , water , blankets , and a spare life belt . Lifeline ropes on the boats ' sides enabled them to save additional people from the water if necessary . </P> <P> Titanic had 16 sets of davits , each able to handle four lifeboats . This gave Titanic the ability to carry up to 64 wooden lifeboats which would have been enough for 4,000 people -- considerably more than her actual capacity . However , the White Star Line decided that only 16 wooden lifeboats and four collapsibles would be carried , which could accommodate 1,178 people , only one - third of Titanic 's total capacity . At the time , the Board of Trade 's regulations required British vessels over 10,000 tons to only carry 16 lifeboats with a capacity of 990 occupants . </P> <P> Therefore , the White Star Line actually provided more lifeboat accommodation than was legally required . At the time , lifeboats were intended to ferry survivors from a sinking ship to a rescuing ship -- not keep afloat the whole population or power them to shore . Had the SS Californian responded to Titanic 's distress calls , the lifeboats may have been adequate to ferry the passengers to safety as planned . </P> <H2> Building and preparing the ship </H2> <H3> Construction , launch and fitting - out </H3> Play media Titanic Disaster -- Genuine Footage ( 1911 -- 1912 ) <P> The sheer size of Titanic and her sister ships posed a major engineering challenge for Harland and Wolff ; no shipbuilder had ever before attempted to construct vessels this size . The ships were constructed on Queen 's Island , now known as the Titanic Quarter , in Belfast Harbour . Harland and Wolff had to demolish three existing slipways and build two new ones , the largest ever constructed up to that time , to accommodate both ships . Their construction was facilitated by an enormous gantry built by Sir William Arrol & Co. , a Scottish firm responsible for the building of the Forth Bridge and London 's Tower Bridge . The Arrol Gantry stood 228 feet ( 69 m ) high , was 270 feet ( 82 m ) wide and 840 feet ( 260 m ) long , and weighed more than 6,000 tons . It accommodated a number of mobile cranes . A separate floating crane , capable of lifting 200 tons , was brought in from Germany . </P> <P> The construction of Olympic and Titanic took place virtually in parallel , with Olympic 's keel laid down first on 16 December 1908 and Titanic 's on 31 March 1909 . Both ships took about 26 months to build and followed much the same construction process . They were designed essentially as an enormous floating box girder , with the keel acting as a backbone and the frames of the hull forming the ribs . At the base of the ships , a double bottom 5 feet 3 inches ( 1.60 m ) deep supported 300 frames , each between 24 inches ( 61 cm ) and 36 inches ( 91 cm ) apart and measuring up to about 66 feet ( 20 m ) long . They terminated at the bridge deck ( B Deck ) and were covered with steel plates which formed the outer skin of the ships . </P> <P> The 2,000 hull plates were single pieces of rolled steel plate , mostly up to 6 feet ( 1.8 m ) wide and 30 feet ( 9.1 m ) long and weighing between 2.5 and 3 tons . Their thickness varied from 1 inch ( 2.5 cm ) to 1.5 inches ( 3.8 cm ) . The plates were laid in a clinkered ( overlapping ) fashion from the keel to the bilge . Above that point they were laid in the `` in and out '' fashion , where strake plating was applied in bands ( the `` in strakes '' ) with the gaps covered by the `` out strakes '' , overlapping on the edges . Commercial oxy - fuel and electric arc welding methods , ubiquitous in fabrication today , were still in their infancy ; like most other iron and steel structures of the era , the hull was held together with over three million iron and steel rivets , which by themselves weighed over 1,200 tons . They were fitted using hydraulic machines or were hammered in by hand . In the 1990s some material scientists concluded that the steel plate used for the ship was subject to being especially brittle when cold , and that this brittleness exacerbated the impact damage and hastened the sinking . It is believed that , by the standards of the time , the steel plate 's quality was good , not faulty , but that it was inferior to what would be used for shipbuilding purposes in later decades , owing to advances in the metallurgy of steelmaking . As for the rivets , considerable emphasis has also been placed on their quality and strength . </P> <P> One of the last items to be fitted on Titanic before the ship 's launch was her two side anchors and one centre anchor . The anchors themselves were a challenge to make with the centre anchor being the largest ever forged by hand and weighing nearly 16 tons . Twenty Clydesdale draught horses were needed to haul the centre anchor by wagon from the Noah Hingley & Sons Ltd forge shop in Netherton , near Dudley , United Kingdom to the Dudley railway station two miles away .

He was created by series developer Frank Darabont and portrayed by Michael Rooker . The character was first introduced in the first season as a Southern redneck hunter who has a younger brother , Daryl . He is misogynistic and racist , which causes tensions between him and his group of survivors . Following an encounter with series protagonist Rick Grimes , Merle disappears and joins the community of Woodbury , Georgia , where he becomes the right - hand man of The Governor . He becomes caught in the conflict between the Governor and Rick , especially when nobody in Rick 's group wants him in the group , except for Daryl . </P> <P> The character 's introduction garnered negative reviews from professional critics , but fan response was positive . When the character reappears in the third season , reviewers began to have more favorable views towards him . Merle is an original character in the television series and shares no counterpart in the comic books . He is also a main character in the 2013 video game The Walking Dead : Survival Instinct , which focuses on him and Daryl during the early days of the zombie apocalypse . Rooker made guest appearances as Merle in the series ' first and second seasons , before he was upgraded to a series regular for the third season , where he lost a significant amount of weight in preparation for the role .

Having no mother and a neglectful and abusive father , Merle raised Daryl when not incarcerated in juvenile detention . Though the length of time and military occupational specialty are not stated , Merle served in the United States Marine Corps , where at some point he mouthed off to a non-commissioned officer and subsequently punched five of his teeth out . According to Shane and Daryl , Merle was a drug dealer before the outbreak . He is also shown to have been a drug user ( e.g. , in `` Guts '' and `` This Sorrowful Life '' ) . </P> Season 1 ( edit ) <P> Merle first appears in the episode `` Guts '' , along with a group of survivors who had traveled into Atlanta to scavenge for supplies . While atop a department store roof , Merle begins firing a rifle at walkers on the street while the group demands that he stop . Merle insults T - Dog ( IronE Singleton ) , and subsequently beats T - Dog in a brief , intense fight . After momentarily announcing himself leader of the group , Merle is blind - sided by Rick Grimes ( Andrew Lincoln ) , who punches him and handcuffs him to a pipe before Merle can fight back . Merle is put under T - Dog 's watch while the other survivors attempt to find a way out of the city . When the survivors do find a way out , T - Dog attempts to save Merle , but accidentally drops the handcuff keys into a vent ; this forces him to abandon Merle on the roof . Before T - Dog flees , he chains the rooftop door shut to prevent walkers from getting Merle . </P> <P> In the next episode `` Tell It to the Frogs '' , as walkers begin to invade the building and reach the chained rooftop door , Merle struggles until he notices a hacksaw by the spilled toolbox the others had left behind . He uses his belt to reach the hacksaw and ultimately cuts off his own hand to escape , as the hacksaw blade was too dull to cut through the handcuffs . Rick and the group return to the camp and explain to Daryl that they abandoned Merle . Daryl , T - Dog , Rick and Glenn ( Steven Yeun ) decide to return to Atlanta to retrieve him as well as a bag of weapons Rick dropped downtown . Returning to the department store roof , the four see that Merle has severed his own hand with a dull hacksaw . In the next episode `` Vatos '' , the four find evidence that Merle survived the self - mutilation by cauterizing the wound .

Another major tributary of the Upper Brazos is the Clear Fork Brazos River , which passes by Abilene and joins the main river near Graham . Important tributaries of the Lower Brazos include the Paluxy River , the Bosque River , the Little River , Yegua Creek , the Nolan River , the Leon River , the San Gabriel River , the Lampasas River , and the Navasota River . </P> <P> Initially running east towards Dallas - Fort Worth , the Brazos turns south , passing through Waco and the Baylor University campus , further south to near Calvert , Texas then past Bryan and College Station , then through Richmond , Texas in Fort Bend County , and empties into the Gulf of Mexico in the marshes just south of Freeport . </P> <P> The main stem of the Brazos is dammed in three places , all north of Waco , forming Possum Kingdom Lake , Lake Granbury , and Lake Whitney . Of these three , Granbury was the last to be completed , in 1969 . When its construction was proposed in the mid-1950s , John Graves wrote the book Goodbye to a River . A small municipal dam ( Lake Brazos Dam ) is near the downstream city limit of Waco at the end of the Baylor campus ; it raises the level of the river through the city to form a town lake .

From the 14th century on , Roman numerals began to be replaced in most contexts by the more convenient Hindu - Arabic numerals ; however , this process was gradual , and the use of Roman numerals persists in some minor applications to this day . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Roman numeric system <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Basic decimal pattern </Li> <Li> 1.2 Alternative forms </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 History <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Pre-Roman times and ancient Rome <Ul> <Li> 2.1. 1 Hypotheses about the origin of Roman numerals <Ul> <Li> 2.1. 1.1 Tally marks </Li> <Li> 2.1. 1.2 Hand signals </Li> <Li> 2.1. 1.3 Intermediate symbols deriving from few original symbols </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2.2 Middle Ages and Renaissance </Li> <Li> 2.3 Modern use <Ul> <Li> 2.3. 1 Specific disciplines </Li> <Li> 2.3. 2 Modern use in continental Europe </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Special values <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Zero </Li> <Li> 3.2 Fractions </Li> <Li> 3.3 Large numbers <Ul> <Li> 3.3. 1 Apostrophus </Li> <Li> 3.3. 2 Vinculum </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 Sources </Li> <Li> 7 Further reading </Li> <Li> 8 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Roman numeric system </H2> <H3> Basic decimal pattern </H3> <P> The original pattern for Roman numerals used the symbols I , V. and X ( 1 , 5 , and 10 ) as simple tally marks . Each marker for 1 ( I ) added a unit value up to 5 ( V ) , and was then added to ( V ) to make the numbers from 6 to 9 : </P> <Dl> <Dd> I , II , III , IIII , V , VI , VII , VIII , VIIII , X . </Dd> </Dl> <P> The numerals for 4 ( IIII ) and 9 ( VIIII ) proved problematic ( among other things , they are easily confused with III and VIII ) , and are generally replaced with IV ( one less than 5 ) and IX ( one less than 10 ) . This feature of Roman numerals is called subtractive notation . </P> <P> The numbers from 1 to 10 ( including subtractive notation for 4 and 9 ) are expressed in Roman numerals as follows : </P> <Dl> <Dd> I , II , III , IV , V , VI , VII , VIII , IX , X . </Dd> </Dl> <P> The system being basically decimal , tens and hundreds follow the same pattern : </P> <P> Thus 10 to 100 ( counting in tens , with X taking the place of I , L taking the place of V and C taking the place of X ) : </P> <Dl> <Dd> X , XX , XXX , XL , L , LX , LXX , LXXX , XC , C . </Dd> </Dl> <P> Note that 40 ( XL ) and 90 ( XC ) follow the same subtractive pattern as 4 and 9 . </P> <P> Similarly , 100 to 1000 ( counting in hundreds ) : </P> <Dl> <Dd> C , CC , CCC , CD , D , DC , DCC , DCCC , CM , M . </Dd> </Dl> <P> Many numbers include hundreds , units and tens . The Roman numeral system being basically decimal , each `` place '' is added separately , in descending sequence from left to right , as with `` arabic '' numbers . For example , the number 39 is XXXIX , ( three tens and a ten less one ) , 246 is CCXLVI ( two hundreds , a fifty less ten , a five and a one . As each place has its own notation there is no need for place keeping zeros , so `` missing places '' can be simply omitted : thus 207 , for instance , is written CCVII ( two hundreds , a five and two ones ) and 1066 becomes MLXVI ( a thousand , a fifty and a ten , a five and a one ) </P> <P> Roman numerals for large numbers are nowadays seen mainly in the form of year numbers ( other uses are detailed later in this article ) , as in these examples : </P> <Ul> <Li> 1776 as MDCCLXXVI , the date written on the book held by the Statue of Liberty . </Li> <Li> 1954 as MCMLIV , as in the trailer for the movie The Last Time I Saw Paris </Li> <Li> 1990 as MCMXC , used as the title of musical project Enigma 's debut album MCMXC a.D. , named after the year of its release . </Li> <Li> 2014 as MMXIV , the year of the games of the XXII ( 22nd ) Olympic Winter Games ( in Sochi ) </Li> </Ul> <H3> Alternative forms </H3> A typical clock face with Roman numerals in Bad Salzdetfurth , Germany <P> The `` standard '' forms described above reflect typical modern usage rather than a universally accepted | The number 4 on clock faces is represented by the Roman numeral | [

6033283306897030277 | Currency transaction Report - wikipedia <H1> Currency transaction Report </H1> Jump to : navigation , search Currency Transaction Report , March 2011 revision <P> A currency transaction report ( CTR ) is a report that U.S. financial institutions are required to file with FinCEN for each deposit , withdrawal , exchange of currency , or other payment or transfer , by , through , or to the financial institution which involves a transaction in currency of more than $10,000 . Used in this context , currency means the coin and / or paper money of any country that is designated as legal tender by the country of issuance . Currency also includes U.S. silver certificates , U.S. notes , Federal Reserve notes , and official foreign bank notes . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Procedure </Li> <Li> 3 References </Li> <Li> 4 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> When the first version of the CTR was introduced , the only way a suspicious transaction less than $10,000 was reported to the government was if a bank teller called law enforcement . This was primarily due to the financial industry 's concern about the right to financial privacy . On October 26 , 1986 , with the passage of the Money Laundering Control Act , the right to financial privacy was no longer an issue . As part of the Act , Congress had stated that a financial institution could not be held liable for releasing suspicious transactional information to law enforcement . As a result , the next version of the CTR had a suspicious transaction check box at the top . This was in effect until April 1996 when the Suspicious Activity Report ( SAR ) was introduced . </P> <H2> Procedure ( edit ) </H2> <P> When a transaction involving more than $10,000 in cash is processed , most banks have a system that automatically creates a CTR electronically . Tax and other information about the customer is usually pre-filled by the bank software . CTRs since 1996 include an optional checkbox at the top if the bank employee believes the transaction to be suspicious or fraudulent , commonly called a SAR , or Suspicious Activity Referral . A customer is not directly told about the $10,000 threshold unless they initiate the inquiry . A customer may decline to continue the transaction upon being informed about the CTR , but this would require the bank employee to file a SAR . Once a customer presents or asks to withdraw more than $10,000 in currency , the decision to continue the transaction must continue as originally requested and may not be reduced to avoid the filing of a CTR . For instance , if a customer reneges on their initial request to deposit or withdraw more than $10,000 in cash , and instead requests the same transaction for $9,999 , the bank employee should deny such a request and continue the transaction as originally requested by filing a CTR . This sort of attempt is known as structuring , and is punishable by federal law against both the customer and the bank employee . Those who habitually run transactions just under the $10,000 threshold will likely subject themselves to scrutiny and / or the filing of a SAR . </P> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ 31 C.F.R. 1010.311 . </Li> <Li> Jump up ^ `` Frequently Asked Questions Regarding the FinCEN Currency Transaction Report ( CTR ) '' . fincen.gov .

In 1983 , there was a rumor that Paramount billed the fourth installment as `` The Final Chapter '' as they felt embarrassed by their association with the series , thus the possible reason for the moniker . Despite how Siskel & Ebert claimed this in their review of the film , Paramount was aware that the slasher genre had been losing interest and thought it was a good choice to conclude the series . However , the idea came from Frank Mancuso , Jr. ( the son of Paramount CEO Frank Mancuso , Sr . ) , as he had begun to resent the series due to how he felt everyone saw him as only doing the work for Part 2 and Part 3 and that no one respected him for it , regardless of how much money it made . Because of him wanting to work on different projects , he wanted to conclude the series and kill off Jason . </P> <H3> Writing ( edit ) </H3> <P> Joseph Zito , director of The Prowler , was initially set to both direct and write the screenplay for the film . Zito initially claimed that he was not a writer , in which the contract consisted of receiving doubled money for the two jobs , resulting him accepting the contract . Zito secretly used the extra salary to hire Barney Cohen to write the script . Their process involved Zito taking one - hour a night phone calls with Phil Scuderi to discuss the story and script for the film . Zito then met Cohen in a New York apartment to use the concepts Scuderi had offered , which they would then turn into script pages and to be sent to Scuderi for the conversation discussed again over the phone .

Unlike its predecessors , this marks the first installment in the series having two survivors with one of them being male , but it is currently the only installment where the survivor is rather a child . The filmmakers believed they had never seen something like this before in slasher films , and they wanted to create characters audiences would not want to see harmed or killed .

Alistair is the first full companion the player gets if they do n't choose the Human Noble origin ( and the second if they do ) , and is a fellow Grey Warden alongside the player character . Over the course of the game , Alistair is revealed to be the heir to Ferelden 's throne , and may be put on as king . It is also possible to sacrifice him at the end of the game against the archdemon . </P> <P> In addition to Origins , Alistair also appears in the game 's expansion pack Awakening ( if placed as king during Origins ) , the Darkspawn Chronicles DLC , Dragon Age II , and the Silent Grove comic series . Alistair has received positive reception , mainly for his sarcastic remarks and romance . However , some writers have compared him to previous BioWare companions , such as Knights of the Old Republic 's Carth Onasi . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Concept and characteristics </Li> <Li> 2 Appearances <Ul> <Li> 2.1 In Dragon Age : Origins </Li> <Li> 2.2 Other appearances </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Reception </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Concept and characteristics ( edit ) </H2> <P> Alistair was mainly written by David Gaider -- the lead writer of Origins -- and is voiced by Steve Valentine . Alistair is a relatively new Grey Warden , who are a group devoted to fighting darkspawn . He 's believed to be the secret son of King Maric and a serving girl , and was originally raised in Redcliffe Castle by Arl Eamon after his mother 's death . However , he was later given to the Chantry for training as a templar , a military order who are trained to kill `` apostates '' ( mages outside of the Circle of Magi ) and watch over the Circle of Magi . Alistair is described as having a `` wry sense of humor '' , and makes many sarcastic remarks during the game . </P> <P> If the player chooses to be female , Alistair can be romanced . In an interview with GameZone , David Gaider said that Alistair was a bit of a `` woo - bie '' and that his romance was `` very cute '' . However , Gaider said that he would n't want to have another Alistair - like romance in the interest of originality . </P> <P> Alistair was originally written to be a `` grizzled Grey Warden veteran '' , as per Dragon Age 's original lead designer James Ohlen . However , such a character would be unlikely not to lead , and the character would have to start out at a low level . Gaider changed the character , and drew some inspiration from the characters Xander Harris and Mal Reynolds . Similarly , Gaider also originally wanted to have Mal 's actor Nathan Fillion voice the character , but decided against it as he would have had to perform an English accent . However , Gaider was still pleased with Valentine 's voicing . </P> <H2> Appearances ( edit ) </H2> <H3> In Dragon Age : Origins ( edit ) </H3> <P> Alistair first appears in Dragon Age : Origins as a companion once the player reaches Ostagar ( where the Grey Wardens are preparing for a battle against the darkspawn ) . Being a junior Grey Warden , he accompanies the player for their `` Joining '' to the Grey Wardens . After Loghain abandons the battle at Ostagar , leaving the Grey Wardens and King Cailan to die , he and the player are rescued by Flemeth . Being the last Grey Wardens in Ferelden , and all other Wardens being too far away to reach , the player and he must use Grey Warden contracts to demand help from certain groups against the darkspawn . Alistair also suggests contacting Arl Eamon , who resides in Redcliffe , to help convince the other nobles to help the player . Upon entering Redcliffe , Alistair will tell the player how he is actually the heir to the crown , but was hidden due to being a bastard and instead brought up by Eamon . He also expresses no wish to be king . He will then tell the player about his long - lost sister Goldanna , who lives in Denerim , and will ask to meet her . If brought to Goldanna , she will reject him , and the player may `` harden '' Alistair and tell him to stand up for himself more . </P> <P> After all the forces have been recruited by the player , Arl Eamon will call the `` Landsmeet '' , a meeting between all of the nobles . The player will have to challenge Loghain 's current regency by eroding the noble 's support of him . After attending the Landsmeet , Alistair may either be made king , or Anora ( King Cailan 's wife ) may be made queen . Alternatively , the player may choose to arrange a marriage between Anora and Alistair , though the latter requires persuading . If Alistair had been `` hardened '' , he will reconsider and be less anxious of becoming king . The player may also either spare or kill Loghain . If Loghain is spared , Alistair will become so disgusted he will leave the player . If Anora is made | The voice of Alistair in Dragon Age is provided by | [

He also appeared in `` 1776 '' as delegate from New York , Lewis Morris . He co-starred with Godfrey Cambridge and Estelle Parsons in Watermelon Man ( 1970 ) . He was also a member of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences . </P> <P> He acted in more than 750 live and filmed television programs , including the western series , The Californians , Two Faces West , and The Travels of Jaimie McPheeters . </P> <P> Caine is most commonly remembered for his recurring role ( 37 episodes ) as Major Hochstetter on the 1960s sitcom Hogan 's Heroes ( 1965 - 1971 ) . Prior to that he appeared on that show in two other roles , in the season one episode `` Happy Birthday , Adolf '' and the season two episode `` The Battle of Stalag 13 '' . The Major Hochstetter character first appeared later in season two . Hochstetter is a feared Gestapo officer who strongly suspects the prisoners , particularly Colonel Hogan , are engaged in clandestine activities , but he is never able to confirm his suspicions and usually ends up getting his comedic comeuppance . Hochstetter had several catchphrases , including ( referring to Hogan ) `` Who is this man ? '' and `` What is this man doing here ? '' , and `` I will surround this camp with a ring of steel '' . He would also shout `` Baah ! '' when frustrated by the camp 's incompetent commanding officer , Colonel Klink . The Major self - identifies as a Gestapo agent but dresses in the uniform of the SS , Schutzstaffel . </P> <P> Caine was featured as `` Everett Scovill '' , a thinly disguised portrait of Charles Manson 's attorney Irving Kanarek , in Helter Skelter ( 1976 ) . </P> <P> From his early childhood in Tennessee , Caine had always been fascinated with the Appalachian five - string bluegrass banjo and began mastering it in the mid-1960s . From the summer of 1970 until his death in 1993 , he had taken trophies at 29 prominent banjo and fiddle contests in the southland for both Best Traditional Banjo and Traditional Singing . He was also a popular folk singer and appeared at a number of prominent folk clubs and folk festivals . </P> <H2> Death ( edit ) </H2> <P> Caine died of a heart attack on December 28 , 1993 , 5 days short of his 68th birthday . </P> <H2> Filmography ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Year </Th> <Th> Title </Th> <Th> Role </Th> <Th> Genre </Th> <Th> Notes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1953 </Td> <Td> Marty </Td> <Td> Bartender </Td> <Td> TV series </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 1957 </Td> <Td> The Californians </Td> <Td> Schaab </Td> <Td> TV series , 8 | The role of Major Hochstetter in Hogan's Heroes was played by | [

Some constants , such as the ideal gas constant , R , do not describe the state of a system , and so are not properties . On the other hand , some constants , such as K ( the freezing point depression constant , or cryoscopic constant ) , depend on the identity of a substance , and so may be considered to describe the state of a system , and so may be considered physical properties . </P> <P> `` Specific '' properties are expressed on a per mass basis . If the units were changed from per mass to , for example , per mole , the property would remain as it was ( i.e. , intensive or extensive ) . </P> <P> Regarding Work and Heat </P> <P> Work and heat are not thermodynamic properties , but rather process quantities : flows of energy across a system boundary . Systems do not contain work , but can perform work , and likewise , in formal thermodynamics , systems do not contain heat , but can transfer heat . Informally , however , a difference in the energy of a system that occurs solely because of a difference in its temperature is commonly called heat , and the energy that flows across a boundary as a result of a temperature difference is `` heat '' . </P> <P> Altitude ( or elevation ) is usually not a thermodynamic property . Altitude can help specify the location of a system , but that does not describe the state of the system . An exception would be if the effect of gravity needed to be considered in order to describe a state , in which case altitude could indeed be a thermodynamic property . </P> <Table> Thermodynamic properties and their characteristics <Tr> <Th> Property </Th> <Th> Symbol </Th> <Th> Units </Th> <Th> Extensive ? </Th> <Th> Intensive ? </Th> <Th> Conjugate </Th> <Th> Potential ? </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Activity </Td> <Td> a ( \ displaystyle a ) </Td> <Td> -- </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Chemical potential </Td> <Td> μ i ( \ displaystyle \ mu _ ( i ) ) </Td> <Td> kJ / mol </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> Particle number N i ( \ displaystyle N_ ( i ) ) </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Compressibility ( adiabatic ) </Td> <Td> β S ( \ displaystyle \ beta _ ( S ) ) , κ ( \ displaystyle \ kappa ) </Td> <Td> Pa </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Compressibility ( isothermal ) </Td> <Td> β T ( \ displaystyle \ beta _ ( T ) ) , κ ( \ displaystyle \ kappa ) </Td> <Td> Pa </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cryoscopic constant </Td> <Td> K f ( \ displaystyle K_ ( f ) ) </Td> <Td> K kg / mol </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Density </Td> <Td> ρ ( \ displaystyle \ rho ) </Td> <Td> kg / m </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Ebullioscopic constant </Td> <Td> K b ( \ displaystyle K_ ( b ) ) </Td> <Td> K kg / mol </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Enthalpy </Td> <Td> H ( \ displaystyle H ) </Td> <Td> J </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Specific enthalpy </Td> <Td> h ( \ displaystyle h ) </Td> <Td> J / kg </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Entropy </Td> <Td> S ( \ displaystyle S ) </Td> <Td> J / K </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Temperature T ( \ displaystyle T ) </Td> <Td> Y ( entropic ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Specific entropy </Td> <Td> s ( \ displaystyle s ) </Td> <Td> J / ( kg K ) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Fugacity </Td> <Td> f ( \ displaystyle f ) </Td> <Td> N / m2 </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gibbs free energy </Td> <Td> G ( \ displaystyle G ) </Td> <Td> J </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Specific Gibbs free entropy </Td> <Td> g ( \ displaystyle g ) </Td> <Td> J / ( kg K ) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gibbs free entropy </Td> <Td> Ξ ( \ displaystyle \ Xi ) </Td> <Td> J / K </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y ( entropic ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Grand / Landau potential </Td> <Td> Ω ( \ displaystyle \ Omega ) </Td> <Td> J </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Heat capacity ( constant pressure ) </Td> <Td> C p ( \ displaystyle C_ ( p ) ) </Td> <Td> J / K </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Specific heat capacity ( constant pressure ) </Td> <Td> c p ( \ displaystyle c_ ( p ) ) </Td> <Td> J / ( kg K ) </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Heat capacity ( constant volume ) </Td> <Td> C v ( \ displaystyle C_ ( v ) ) </Td> <Td> J / K </Td> <Td> Y </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> <Td> </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Specific heat capacity ( constant volume ) </Td> | In thermodynamics, a property of a system is | [

It was written in November 1974 and released in 1975 . </P> <P> In the song , Baez recounts an out - of - the - blue phone call from an old lover , which sends her a decade back in time , to a `` crummy '' hotel in Greenwich Village circa 1964 or 1965 ; she recalls giving him a pair of cuff - links , and summarizes that memories bring `` diamonds and rust '' . Baez has stated that the lyrics refer to her relationship with Bob Dylan . </P> <P> The song , which was a top - 40 hit for Baez on the U.S. pop singles chart , is regarded by a number of critics , as well as by Baez fans , as one of her best compositions . It served as the title song on Baez 's gold - selling album Diamonds & Rust , which was released in 1975 . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Variations </Li> <Li> 2 Bob Dylan </Li> <Li> 3 Charts </Li> <Li> 4 Popular covers </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Variations ( edit ) </H2> <P> For her 1995 live recording Ring Them Bells , Baez performed the song as a duet with Mary Chapin Carpenter . In that performance , she changed the end lines : `` And if you 're / offering me diamonds and rust / I 've already paid , '' to : `` And if you ... well I 'll take the diamonds . '' The line `` I bought you some cuff links , you brought me something '' was changed to `` I bought you some cuff links , you brought troubles . '' And on 25 February 2009 , in Austin , she sang it , `` And if you ... well I 'll take the Grammy . '' In 2010 , she recorded it as a duet with Judy Collins on Collins 's album Paradise . </P> <H2> Bob Dylan ( edit ) </H2> Dylan with Baez August 28 , 1963 <P> The song alludes to Baez 's relationship with Bob Dylan ten years before . Although Dylan is not specifically named in the song , in the third chapter of her memoir , And a Voice to Sing With ( 1987 ) , Baez uses phrases from the song in describing her relationship with Dylan , and has been explicit that he was the inspiration for the song . She recounts how she originally told Dylan that the song was about her ex-husband David Harris , which was obviously not true . The lyrics , for example , include the lines , `` Well , you burst on the scene already a legend / the unwashed phenomenon , the original vagabond ... '' which would describe Dylan but not Harris . </P> <P> In her memoir , And A Voice To Sing With , Baez records a 1975 conversation between herself and Dylan , discussing songs to include in the then - upcoming Rolling Thunder Revue concerts : </P> <P> `` You gon na sing that song about robin 's eggs and diamonds ? '' Bob had asked me on the first day of rehearsals . `` Which one ? '' `` You know , that one about blue eyes and diamonds ... '' `` Oh '' , I said , `` you must mean ' Diamonds And Rust , ' the song I wrote for my husband , David . I wrote it while he was in prison . '' `` For your husband ? '' Bob said . `` Yeah . Who did you think it was about ? '' I stonewalled . `` Oh , hey , what the fuck do I know ? '' `` Never mind . Yeah , I 'll sing it , if you like . '' </P> <P> But Baez 's marriage to Harris had , in fact , already ended by the time the song was written and composed . In an interview with music writer Mike Ragogna , Baez later admitted that the character in the song is Dylan : </P> <P> MR : `` Diamonds And Rust '' was another magic moment . You 've said when you began writing the song , it started as something else until Dylan phoned you . Then it became about him . That must have been one helluva call .

He renews his faith and returns to church in time to marry Kevin and Lucy ( near the end of season 7 ) . </P> <H3> Annie Camden ( edit ) </H3> <P> Annie Jackson - Camden ( played by Catherine Hicks ) is the wife of Eric and mother of Matt , Mary , Lucy , Simon , Ruthie , Sam , and David . She has a half - sister named Lily , through her father , Charles Jackson . Her mother is Jenny Jackson . During her college education , Annie studied everything from art to business and economics , and in later seasons returned to school to earn a degree in early childhood education . </P> <P> Though she has chosen to be a stay - at - home mother , Annie is a jack of all trades . She balances a family of nine on a minister 's pay , is a plumber , builder , seamstress , cook , and much more . She also serves , from time to time , as the treasurer for the church . </P> <P> Annie is the backbone of her family . The mother of seven , she is often the one who the children come to talk to , often over milk and cookies . She tries , with her husband , to instill strong morals in her children . She is noted as hoping Ruthie will not follow in her footsteps or of her two other daughters and marry too young . She hopes Ruthie will take the time to travel first . </P> <P> Annie is the only daughter of her parents . Her mother , Jenny , dies early in the first season from cancer , a death that strikes Annie hard . Harder yet is her father 's quick bounce to a relationship with Ginger . During one episode , Annie leaves the church after her father brings Ginger to service . Mary chases her and is struck by a car . Annie accepts Ginger slowly and Ginger and her father wed . Her father suffers from Alzheimer 's disease and Annie spends more and more time with him in Arizona before he dies . Annie is quoted in later seasons as saying that she likes Ginger a lot more now that her parents are back together . In an early season , Annie learned of an illegitimate daughter her father had with his high school girlfriend . She eventually meets this half - sister , Lily , and the two form a relationship over time . </P> <P> In 2009 , she was included in Yahoo !

The sugar component consists of alternating residues of β - ( 1 , 4 ) linked N - acetylglucosamine ( NAG ) and N - acetylmuramic acid ( NAM ) . Attached to the N - acetylmuramic acid is a peptide chain of three to five amino acids . The peptide chain can be cross-linked to the peptide chain of another strand forming the 3D mesh - like layer . Peptidoglycan serves a structural role in the bacterial cell wall , giving structural strength , as well as counteracting the osmotic pressure of the cytoplasm . A common misconception is that peptidoglycan gives the cell its shape ; however , whereas peptidoglycan helps maintain the structural strength of the cell , it is actually the MreB protein that facilitates cell shape . Peptidoglycan is also involved in binary fission during bacterial cell reproduction . </P> <P> The peptidoglycan layer is substantially thicker in Gram - positive bacteria ( 20 to 80 nanometers ) than in Gram - negative bacteria ( 7 to 8 nanometers ) , with the attachment of the S - layer . Peptidoglycan forms around 90 % of the dry weight of Gram - positive bacteria but only 10 % of Gram - negative strains . Thus , presence of high levels of peptidoglycan is the primary determinant of the characterisation of bacteria as Gram - positive . In Gram - positive strains , it is important in attachment roles and serotyping purposes . For both Gram - positive and Gram - negative bacteria , particles of approximately 2 nm can pass through the peptidoglycan . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Structure </Li> <Li> 2 Biosynthesis </Li> <Li> 3 Inhibition </Li> <Li> 4 Similarity to pseudopeptidoglycan </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 External links </Li> </Ul> <H2> Structure ( edit ) </H2> Peptidoglycan . <P> The peptidoglycan layer in the bacterial cell wall is a crystal lattice structure formed from linear chains of two alternating amino sugars , namely N - acetylglucosamine ( GlcNAc or NAGA ) and N - acetylmuramic acid ( MurNAc or NAMA ) . The alternating sugars are connected by a β - ( 1 , 4 ) - glycosidic bond . Each MurNAc is attached to a short ( 4 - to 5 - residue ) amino acid chain , containing L - alanine , D - glutamic acid , meso - diaminopimelic acid , and D - alanine in the case of Escherichia coli ( a Gram - negative bacterium ) or L - alanine , D - glutamine , L - lysine , and D - alanine with a 5 - glycine interbridge between tetrapeptides in the case of Staphylococcus aureus ( a Gram - positive bacterium ) . Peptidoglycan is one of the most important sources of D - amino acids in nature . </P> <P> Cross-linking between amino acids in different linear amino sugar chains occurs with the help of the enzyme DD - transpeptidase and results in a 3 - dimensional structure that is strong and rigid .

Bactoprenol transports peptidoglycan monomers across the cell membrane where they are inserted into the existing peptidoglycan . </P> <P> In the first step of peptidoglycan synthesis , glutamine , which is an amino acid , donates an amino group to a sugar , fructose 6 - phosphate . This turns fructose 6 - phosphate into glucosamine - 6 - phosphate . In step two , an acetyl group is transferred from acetyl CoA to the amino group on the glucosamine - 6 - phosphate creating N - acetyl - glucosamine - 6 - phosphate . In step three of the synthesis process , the N - acetyl - glucosamine - 6 - phosphate is isomerized , which will change N - acetyl - glucosamine - 6 - phosphate to N - acetyl - glucosamine - 1 - phosphate . </P> <P> In step 4 , the N - acetyl - glucosamine - 1 - phosphate , which is now a monophosphate , attacks UTP . Uridine triphosphate , which is a pyrimidine nucleotide , has the ability to act as an energy source . In this particular reaction , after the monophosphate has attacked the UTP , an inorganic pyrophosphate is given off and is replaced by the monophosphate , creating UDP - N - acetylglucosamine ( 2 , 4 ) . ( When UDP is used as an energy source , it gives off an inorganic phosphate . ) This initial stage , is used to create the precursor for the NAG in peptidoglycan . </P> <P> In step 5 , some of the UDP - N - acetylglucosamine ( UDP - GlcNAc ) is converted to UDP - MurNAc ( UDP - N - acetylmuramic acid ) by the addition of a lactyl group to the glucosamine . Also in this reaction , the C3 hydroxyl group will remove a phosphate from the alpha carbon of phosphoenolpyruvate .

-4438649004875501807 | Where he is going to be thrust into circumstances that he never , ever wanted to deal with , and was hoping he could avoid . And now he is right in the middle of it . The things that happen in that story test him in huge ways , in the ways in which his relationship with Koba haunts him deeply . It 's going to be an epic story . I think you 've probably read that I sort of described it where in the first film was very much about his rise from humble beginnings to being a revolutionary . The second movie was about having to rise to the challenge of being a great leader in the most difficult of times . This is going to be the story that is going to cement his status as a seminal figure in ape history , and sort of leads to an almost biblical status . He is going to become like a mythic ape figure , like Moses . '' </P> <P> Toby Kebbell , who portrayed Koba in Dawn , had expressed interest in reprising his role or performing as other characters . Plans to include Koba in a larger role in the film were abandoned early , with Bomback saying , `` If you stayed until the very end of Dawn of the Planet of the Apes , you hear Koba 's breathing . We did that to give us a tiny crack of a possibility that we could revive Koba if we wanted to . Very early on in spitballing , we realized there was nothing more to do with Koba -- certainly nothing that would exceed what he had done in the last story . But we knew we wanted to keep him alive as an idea . In playing out the reality of what happened at the end of the last film , Caesar would be traumatized by having to kill his brother . That would have resonance , and we wanted to make sure that did n't get lost . So the answer was that we could go inside Caesar 's mind at this point and revisit Koba that way . '' </P> <H3> Casting ( edit ) </H3> <P> In August 2015 , Deadline reported that Gabriel Chavarria had been cast as one of the humans in the film . In September 2015 , The Hollywood Reporter announced that Woody Harrelson had been cast as the film 's antagonist , and that Chavarria 's role was supporting . In October 2015 , TheWrap reported that Steve Zahn was cast as a new ape in the film . It was also announced that actress Amiah Miller was cast as one of the film 's humans , with Judy Greer and Karin Konoval reprising their roles as Cornelia and Maurice , while Aleks Paunovic and Sara Canning were cast as new apes . </P> <H3> Filming ( edit ) </H3> <P> Principal photography on the film began on October 14 , 2015 in the Lower Mainland in Vancouver , under the working title Hidden Fortress . Filming was expected to take place there until early March 2016 . Parts of the film were expected to shoot for up to five days in the Kananaskis in late January and early February . In March , Serkis confirmed that he had finished shooting his portions . </P> <H3> Visual effects ( edit ) </H3> <P> As with Rise and Dawn , the visual effects for War were created by Weta Digital ; the apes were created with a mixture of motion - capture and CGI key - frame animation , as they were performed in motion - capture technology and animated in CGI . </P> <H2> Influences ( edit ) </H2> <P> At New York Comic - Con 2016 , Reeves explained that he and Bomback were influenced by many films before writing . He said , `` One of the first things that Mark and I did because we had just finished Dawn was that we decided to watch a million movies . We decided to do what people fantasize what Hollywood screenwriters get to do but no one actually does . We got Fox to give us a theater and we watched movie after movie . We watched every Planet of the Apes movie , war movies , westerns , Empire Strikes Back ... We just thought , ' We have to pretend we have all the time in the world , ' even though we had limited time . We got really inspired . '' </P> <P> Additionally , during production , Reeves and Bomback sought broader inspirations from films like Bridge on the River Kwai and The Great Escape . Feeling that there was a need to imbue Biblical themes and elements , they also watched Biblical epics like Ben - Hur and The Ten Commandments . The influences and inspirations were made evident in the relationship between Caesar and Woody Harrelson 's Colonel , a military leader with pretensions toward godhood . Reeves has compared their relationship to the dynamic between Alec Guinness 's British Commander and Sessue Hayakawa 's prison camp Colonel in Bridge on the River Kwai . Another comparison is in Caesar 's journey to find the Colonel , flanked by a posse of close friends -- a situation Reeves explicitly tied to Clint Eastwood 's war - weary soldier in The Outlaw Josey Wales . Influences from the film Apocalypse Now , notably Harrelson 's character and his Alpha - Omega faction being similar to Colonel Kurtz 's renegade army , were also noted by several journalists . Harrelson has also acknowledged the similarities and inspiration . </P> <H2> Soundtrack ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Th colspan="2"> War for the Planet of the Apes </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th colspan="2"> Soundtrack album by Michael Giacchino </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Released </Th> <Td> July 7 , 2017 ( Digital ) July 21 , 2017 ( Physical ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Recorded </Th> <Td> 2017 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> Genre </Th> <Td> | The War of the Planet of the Apes was filmed in the | [

'' </P> <H2> Plot ( edit ) </H2> 1898 illustration by John La Farge <P> An unnamed narrator listens to Douglas , a friend , read a manuscript written by a former governess whom Douglas claims to have known and who is now dead . The manuscript tells the story of how the young governess is hired by a man who has become responsible for his young nephew and niece after the deaths of their parents . He lives mainly in London but also has a country house , Bly . He is uninterested in raising the children . </P> <P> The boy , Miles , is attending a boarding school , while his younger sister , Flora , is living at a summer country house in Essex . She is currently being cared for by Mrs. Grose , the housekeeper . Miles and Flora 's uncle , the governess ' new employer , gives her full charge of the children and explicitly states that she is not to bother him with communications of any sort . The governess travels to her new employer 's country house and begins her duties . </P> <P> Miles soon returns from school for the summer just after a letter arrives from the headmaster stating that he has been expelled . Miles never speaks of the matter , and the governess is hesitant to raise the issue . She fears there is some horrible secret behind the expulsion but is too charmed by the adorable young boy to want to press the issue . Soon thereafter , around the grounds of the estate , the governess begins to see the figures of a man and woman whom she does not recognise . These figures come and go at will without ever being seen or challenged by other members of the household , and they seem to the governess to be supernatural . She learns from Mrs. Grose that the governess ' predecessor , Miss Jessel , and another employee , Peter Quint , had had a sexual relationship . Before their deaths , Jessel and Quint spent much of their time with Flora and Miles , and this fact has grim significance for the current governess when she becomes convinced that the two children are secretly aware of the ghosts ' presence . </P> <P> Later , without permission , Flora leaves the house while Miles is playing music for the governess . The governess notices Flora 's absence and goes with Mrs. Grose in search of her . They find her in a folly on the shore of the lake , and the governess is convinced that Flora has been talking to the ghost of Miss Jessel . When the governess finally confronts Flora , the girl denies seeing Miss Jessel and demands never to see the governess again . At the governess ' suggestion | The Turn of the Screw takes place in | [

For other uses , see Authority ( disambiguation ) . <P> Authority ( derived from the Latin word auctoritas ) , as a concept , can be used to mean the right to exercise power given by the State ( in the form of government , judges , police officers , etc . ) , or by academic knowledge of an area ( someone that can be an authority on a subject ) or , in some societies , by higher spiritual powers or deities . </P> <P> When the word authority is used in the name of an organization , this name usually refers to the governing body upon which such authority is vested ; for example , the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority or the Massachusetts Bay Transportation Authority . It can also mean the right to do something or execute an order . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 In various settings <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Political philosophy </Li> <Li> 1.2 Other social sciences </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Max Weber </Li> <Li> 3 See also </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> <Li> 5 Further reading </Li> <Li> 6 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> In various settings ( edit ) </H2> <P> In government , the term authority is often used interchangeably with power . However , their meanings differ : while power is defined as `` the ability to influence somebody to do something that he / she would not have done '' , authority refers to a claim of legitimacy , the justification and right to exercise that power . For example , while a mob has the power to punish a criminal , for example by lynching , people who believe in the rule of law consider that only a court of law has the authority to punish a criminal legally as the law says . </P> <H3> Political philosophy ( edit ) </H3> <P> There have been several contributions to the debate of political authority . Among others , Max Weber , Hannah Arendt , Alexandre Kojève and Giorgio Agamben have provided some of the most remarkable texts . </P> <P> In political philosophy , the jurisdiction of political authority , the location of sovereignty , the balancing of freedom and authority ( cf . Cristi 2005 ) , and the requirements of political obligations have been core questions from Plato and Aristotle to the present . Most democratic societies are engaged in an ongoing discussion regarding the legitimate extent of the exercise of governmental authority . In the United States , for instance , there is an apparent prevailing belief that the political system as instituted by the Founding Fathers should accord the populace as much freedom as reasonable , and that government should limit its authority accordingly . </P> <P> In the discussion regarding the legitimacy of political authority , the ends of the spectrum of views could be described as either a belief in the absolute freedom of the individual ( i.e. Political anarchism ) , or the belief that there must be a central authority ( in the form of a sovereign ) that claims ownership and control over the masses ( i.e. statism ) . The argument for political anarchy and anti-statism is made by Michael Huemer PhD , in his 2013 book , The Problem of Political Authority . In that book , he delves into the various justifications used by political theorists throughout history to justify the legitimacy of political authority via the State . On the other hand , one of the main arguments for the legitimacy of the state , the `` social contract theory '' , is made by Thomas Hobbes in his 1668 book , Leviathan . </P> <H3> Other social sciences ( edit ) </H3> <P> Since the emergence of social sciences , authority has become a subject of research in a variety of empirical settings : the family ( parental authority ) , small groups ( informal authority of leadership ) , intermediate organizations such as schools , churches , armies , industries and bureaucracies ( organizational and bureaucratic authorities ) , and society - wide or inclusive organizations , ranging from the most primitive tribal society to the modern nation - state and intermediate organization ( political authority ) . </P> <P> The definition of authority in contemporary social science remains a matter of debate . According to Michaels in the Encyclopedia of Social Sciences , authority is the capacity , innate or acquired for exercising ascendancy over a group . Other scientists argue that . It is power that is sanctioned and institutionalized . </P> <P> Howard Bloom hints at a parallel between authority and respect / reverence for ancestors . </P> <H2> Max Weber ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Td> </Td> <Td> This section needs additional citations for verification .

The Greater Caucasus runs west - northwest to east - southeast , from the Caucasian Natural Reserve in the vicinity of Sochi on the northeastern shore of the Black Sea nearly to Baku on the Caspian Sea . The Lesser Caucasus runs parallel to the Greater about 100 km ( 62 mi ) south . The Greater and Lesser Caucasus ranges are connected by the Likhi Range , and to the west and east of the Likhi Range lie the Colchis Plain and the Kur - Araz Lowland . The Meskheti Range is a part of the Lesser Caucasus system . In the southeast the Aras River separates the Lesser Caucasus from the Talysh Mountains which straddle the border of southeastern Azerbaijan and Iran . The Lesser Caucasus and the Armenian Highland constitute the Transcaucasian Highland , which at their western end converge with the highland plateau of Eastern Anatolia in the far north east of Turkey . The highest peak in the Caucasus range is Mount Elbrus in the Greater Caucasus , which rises to a height of 5,642 metres ( 18,510 ft ) above sea level .

The Greater Caucasus Mountains are mainly composed of Cretaceous and Jurassic rocks with the Paleozoic and Precambrian rocks in the higher regions . Some volcanic formations are found throughout the range . On the other hand , the Lesser Caucasus Mountains are formed predominantly of the Paleogene rocks with a much smaller portion of the Jurassic and Cretaceous rocks . The evolution of the Caucasus began from the Late Triassic to the Late Jurassic during the Cimmerian orogeny at the active margin of the Tethys Ocean while the uplift of the Greater Caucasus is dated to the Miocene during the Alpine orogeny . </P> <P> The Caucasus Mountains formed largely as the result of a tectonic plate collision between the Arabian plate moving northwards with respect to the Eurasian plate . As the Tethys Sea was closed and the Arabian Plate collided with the Iranian Plate and was pushed against it and with the clockwise movement of the Eurasian Plate towards the Iranian Plate and their final collision , the Iranian Plate was pressed against the Eurasian Plate . As this happened , the entire rocks that had been deposited in this basin from the Jurassic to the Miocene were folded to form the Greater Caucasus Mountains . This collision also caused the uplift and the Cenozoic volcanic activity in the Lesser Caucasus Mountains . </P> <P> The entire region is regularly subjected to strong earthquakes from this activity . While the Greater Caucasus Mountains have a mainly folded sedimentary structure , the Lesser Caucasus Mountains are largely of volcanic origin . </P> <P> The Javakheti Volcanic Plateau in Georgia and the surrounding volcanic ranges which extend well into central Armenia are some of the youngest features of the region . Only recently was the Caucasus a scene for intense volcanic activity : the Armenian highland was flooded by calc - alkaline basalts and andesites in the Pliocene and the highest summits of the Caucasus , the Elbrus , and the Kazbek , formed as Pleistocene - Pliocene volcanoes . The Kazbek is no longer active , but the Elbrus erupted in postglacial times and fumarole activity is registered near its summit . Contemporary seismic activity is a prominent feature of the region , reflecting active faulting and crustal shortening . Clusters of seismicity occur in Dagestan and in northern Armenia . Many devastating earthquakes have been documented in historical times , including the Spitak earthquake in December 1988 which destroyed the Gyumri - Vanadzor region of Armenia . </P> <H2> Notable peaks ( edit | The region that stretches between the Black and Caspian Seas is | [

Time is also often given over to reading letters and showing pictures sent in by viewers . </P> <P> Over 4,000 editions have been produced since 1958 , and almost every episode from 1964 onwards still exists in the BBC archives . This is extremely unusual for programmes of that era . Editor Biddy Baxter personally ensured that telerecordings and , from 1970 , video recording were kept of each episode . </P> <P> Many items from Blue Peter 's history have become embedded in British popular culture , especially moments when things have gone wrong , such as the much - repeated clip of Lulu the elephant ( from a 1969 edition ) who urinated and defecated on the studio floor , appeared to tread on the foot of presenter John Noakes and then proceeded to attempt an exit , dragging her keeper along behind her . Although it is often assumed to have been broadcast live , the edition featuring Lulu was one of the rare occasions when the programme was pre-recorded , as the presenters were en route to Ceylon for the summer expedition at the time of transmission . Other well - remembered and much - repeated items from this era include the Girl Guides ' campfire that got out of hand on the 1970 Christmas edition , John Noakes 's report on the cleaning of Nelson 's Column , and Simon Groom referring to a previous item on the production of a facsimile door knocker for Durham Cathedral which was displayed alongside the original , with the words ' what a beautiful pair of knockers ' . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> Blue Peter maritime signal flag <H3> Early years ( edit ) </H3> <P> Blue Peter was first aired on 16 October 1958 . It had been commissioned to producer John Hunter Blair by Owen Reed , the head of children 's programmes at the BBC , as there were no programmes in existence that catered for children aged between five and eight . Reed got his inspiration after watching Children 's Television Club , the brainchild of former radio producer , Trevor Hill , who created the latter show as a successor to his programme Out of School , broadcast on BBC Radio 's Children 's Hour ; Hill networked the programme from BBC Manchester and launched it aboard the Royal Iris paddle steamer on Merseyside with presenter Judith Chalmers welcoming everyone aboard at the bottom of the gangplank . </P> <P> It was subsequently televised about once a month Hill relates how Reed came to stay with him and his wife , Margaret Potter , in Cheshire , and was so taken with the `` Blue Peter '' flag on the side of the ship and the programme in general , that he asked to rename it and take it to London to be broadcast on a weekly basis ( see Reed 's obituary ) . The `` Blue Peter '' is used as a maritime signal , indicating that the vessel flying it is about to leave , and Reed chose the name to represent ' a voyage of adventure ' on which the programme would set out . Hunter Blair also pointed out that blue was a child 's favourite colour , and Peter was the common name of a typical child 's friend . </P> <P> The first two presenters were Christopher Trace , an actor , and Leila Williams , winner of Miss Great Britain in 1957 . The two presenters were responsible for activities which matched the traditional gender roles . As broadcasting historian Asa Briggs expressed it in 1995 : `` Leila played with dolls ; Chris played with trains '' . They were supported on occasion by Tony Hart , an artist who later designed the ship logo , who told stories about an elephant called Packi ( or Packie ) . It was broadcast every Friday for fifteen minutes ( 17.00 -- 17.15 ) on BBC TV ( which later became BBC One ) . Over the first few months more features were added , including competitions , documentaries , cartoons , and stories . Early programmes were almost entirely studio - based , with very few filmed inserts being made . </P> <H3> 1960s ( edit ) </H3> <P> From Monday 10 October 1960 , Blue Peter was switched from every Friday to every Monday and extended from 15 minutes to 20 minutes ( 17.00 -- 17.20 ) . In 1961 , Hunter Blair became ill , and was often absent . After he produced his last edition on 12 June 1961 , a series of temporary producers took up the post . Hunter Blair was replaced the following September by Clive Parkhurst . He did not get along with Leila Williams , who recalled `` he could not find anything for me to do '' , and in October , Williams did not appear for six editions , and was eventually fired , leaving Christopher Trace on his own or with one - off presenters . Parkhurst was replaced by John Furness , and Anita West joined Trace on 7 May 1962 . She featured in just 16 editions , making her the shortest - serving presenter , and was replaced by Valerie Singleton , who presented regularly until 1972 , and on special assignments until 1981 . Following the departure of Furness , a new producer who was committed to Blue Peter was required , so Biddy Baxter was appointed . At the time she was contracted to schools ' programmes on the radio , and therefore unable to take up her new post immediately . </P> <P> It was suggested that Edward Barnes , a production assistant , would temporarily produce the show until Baxter arrived , at which point he would become her assistant . This suggestion was turned down , and a more experienced producer , Leonard Chase , was appointed , with Barnes as his assistant .

He loses consciousness and when he wakes , the sphere has gone and there is a scar on his hand where a sample of his DNA has been taken . </P> <P> In the present day , a rapidly moving object is detected beyond Jupiter 's orbit and forecast to impact Manhattan . It is moving at 30,000 kilometers per second , enough to destroy all life on Earth . The United States government hastily assembles a group of scientists , including Dr. Helen Benson and her friend Dr. Michael Granier , to develop a survival plan . </P> <P> As it nears the planet , the object slows down just before impact . Revealed to be a large spherical spaceship , it lands gently in Central Park . The sphere is quickly surrounded by NYPD and heavily armed US military forces . An alien emerges and Helen moves forward to greet it ; but amidst the confusion , the alien is shot . A gigantic robot appears and temporarily disables everything in the vicinity before the wounded alien voices the command `` Klaatu barada nikto '' to shut down the robot 's defensive response . </P> <P> The alien 's exterior is found to be a bioengineered space suit , composed of placenta - like material covering a human - like being . The being quickly ages into Klaatu , who looks like the mountaineer from 1928 . Klaatu informs Secretary of Defense Regina Jackson that he is a representative of a group of civilizations , sent to talk to the leaders of Earth about saving the planet . When Jackson instead sends him to be interrogated , Klaatu escapes and reconnects with Helen and her stepson , Jacob , telling them that he must finish his mission to `` save the Earth '' . </P> <P> The presence of the sphere , and other smaller ones that begin to appear all over the world , causes widespread panic . The military launches a drone attack on the Central Park sphere , but are thwarted by the robot . The military takes a weapons - free approach , cautiously enclosing the robot , soon nicknamed `` GORT '' ( for Genetically Organized Robotic Technology ) , and transporting it to Mount Weather , an underground facility in | The movie "The Day the Earth Stood Still" starred | [

Eventually , the term came to refer to all Ozark Plateau drainage into the Arkansas and Missouri Rivers . </P> <P> An alternative origin for the name `` Ozark '' involves the French term aux arcs . In the later 17th and early 18th centuries , French cartographers mapped the Arkansas and Mississippi Rivers . The large , top most arc or bend in this part of the Arkansas River was referred to as the aux arcs -- the top or most northern arc in the whole of the lower Arkansas . Travelers arriving by boat would disembark at this top bend of the river to explore the Ozarks ; the town of Ozark , Arkansas is located on the north bank at this location . </P> <P> Other possible derivations include aux arcs meaning `` ( land ) of the arches '' in reference to the dozens of natural bridges formed by erosion and collapsed caves in the Ozark region . These include Clifty Hollow Natural Bridge ( actually a series of arches ) in Missouri , and Alum Cove in the Ozark -- St. Francis National Forest . It is even suggested aux arcs is an abbreviation of aux arcs - en - ciel , French for `` toward the rainbows '' which are a common sight in the mountainous regions . After the Louisiana Purchase , American travelers in the region referred to various features of the upland areas using the term Ozark , such as Ozark Mountains and Ozark forests . By the early 20th century , the Ozarks had become a generic term . </P> <H2> Physiographic subregions ( edit ) </H2> <P> The Ozarks consist of five physiographic subregions : </P> <Ul> <Li> the Boston Mountains of north Arkansas and Cookson Hills of east Oklahoma </Li> <Li> the Springfield Plateau of southwest Missouri , northeast Oklahoma , and northwest Arkansas and including Springfield and Joplin in Missouri , Tahlequah in Oklahoma and Fayetteville and Harrison in Arkansas ; </Li> <Li> the White River Hills along the White River including Branson , Mountain Home to Batesville ; </Li> <Li> the Salem Plateau or Central Plateau which includes a broad band across south central Missouri and north central Arkansas including the Lebanon , Salem and West Plains areas ; </Li> <Li> the Courtois Hills of southeastern Missouri ; </Li> <Li> the Osage - Gasconade Hills around the Lake of the Ozarks ; </Li> <Li> the Saint Francois Mountains ; </Li> <Li> the Missouri River and Mississippi River border areas along the eastern and northeastern flanks . </Li> </Ul> <P> Karst features such as | The highest peak in the Ozarks is | [

This is because Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) and almost all other certifying bodies count streaming towards Gold and Platinum thresholds required for Digital Single Award certification . For this reason , some singles and even albums get over certified by hundreds of thousands of units . The over certified figures , however , are often in millions of units for RIAA certifications , one such example is Rihanna 's single `` We Found Love '' , which is certified at nine times Platinum by the RIAA , yet during the time of the certification , it had sold 5.4 million downloads . </P> <P> The certified units for some artists / bands who have multi-disc albums can be higher than their listed claimed figures due to Recording Industry Association of America ( RIAA ) counting each unit within set as one unit toward certification . </P> <P> Issued certifications for songs which have been recorded by multiple artists including featured artists are added to each artist 's total amount of certified units , as all the artists would have played a significant part in a song . For example `` This Is What You Came For '' and `` Where Them Girls At '' include Rihanna and Flo Rida , Nicki Minaj as featured artists respectively , so the certifications issued for these songs are added to the total amount of certified units for all involved artists .

During this period , effective power of the government resided in the Shogun , who officially ruled the country in the name of the Emperor . The Shoguns were the hereditary military governors , with their modern rank equivalent to a generalissimo .

It was led by the United States with the support of the United Kingdom and Canada . From 1942 to 1946 , the project was under the direction of Major General Leslie Groves of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers . Nuclear physicist Robert Oppenheimer was the director of the Los Alamos Laboratory that designed the actual bombs . The Army component of the project was designated the Manhattan District ; `` Manhattan '' gradually superseded the official codename , Development of Substitute Materials , for the entire project . Along the way , the project absorbed its earlier British counterpart , Tube Alloys . The Manhattan Project began modestly in 1939 , but grew to employ more than 130,000 people and cost nearly US $2 billion ( about $22 billion in 2016 dollars ) . Over 90 % of the cost was for building factories and to produce fissile material , with less than 10 % for development and production of the weapons . Research and production took place at more than 30 sites across the United States , the United Kingdom , and Canada . </P> <P> Two types of atomic bombs were developed concurrently during the war : a relatively simple gun - type fission weapon and a more complex implosion - type nuclear weapon . The Thin Man gun - type design proved impractical to use with plutonium so a simpler gun - type called Little Boy was developed that used uranium - 235 , an isotope that makes up only 0.7 percent of natural uranium . Chemically identical to the most common isotope , uranium - 238 , and with almost the same mass , it proved difficult to separate the two . Three methods were employed for uranium enrichment : electromagnetic , gaseous and thermal . Most of this work was performed at the Clinton Engineer Works at Oak Ridge , Tennessee . </P> <P> In parallel with the work on uranium was an effort to produce plutonium . After the feasibility of the world 's first artificial nuclear reactor was demonstrated in Chicago at the Metallurgical Laboratory , it designed the X-10 Graphite Reactor at Oak Ridge and the production reactors in Hanford , Washington , in which uranium was irradiated and transmuted into plutonium . The plutonium was then chemically separated from the uranium . The Fat Man implosion - type weapon was developed in a concerted design and development effort by the Los Alamos Laboratory . </P> <P> The project was also charged with gathering intelligence on the German nuclear weapon project . Through Operation Alsos , Manhattan Project personnel served in Europe , sometimes behind enemy lines , where they gathered nuclear materials and documents , and rounded up German scientists . Despite the Manhattan Project 's tight security , Soviet atomic spies successfully penetrated the program . </P> <P> The first nuclear device ever detonated was an implosion - type bomb at the Trinity test , conducted at New Mexico 's Alamogordo Bombing and Gunnery Range on 16 July 1945 . Little Boy and Fat Man bombs were used a month later in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki , respectively . In the immediate postwar years , the Manhattan Project conducted weapons testing at Bikini Atoll as part of Operation Crossroads , developed new weapons , promoted the development of the network of national laboratories , supported medical research into radiology and laid the foundations for the nuclear navy . It maintained control over American atomic weapons research and production until the formation of the United States Atomic Energy Commission in January 1947 . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Origins </Li> <Li> 2 Feasibility <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Proposals </Li> <Li> 2.2 Bomb design concepts </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Organization <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Manhattan District </Li> <Li> 3.2 Military Policy Committee </Li> <Li> 3.3 Collaboration with the United Kingdom </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Project sites <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Oak Ridge </Li> <Li> 4.2 Los Alamos </Li> <Li> 4.3 Chicago </Li> <Li> 4.4 Hanford </Li> <Li> 4.5 Canadian sites <Ul> <Li> 4.5. 1 British Columbia </Li> <Li> 4.5. 2 Ontario </Li> <Li> 4.5. 3 Northwest Territories </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4.6 Heavy water sites </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Uranium <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Ore </Li> <Li> 5.2 Isotope separation <Ul> <Li> 5.2. 1 Centrifuges </Li> <Li> 5.2. 2 Electromagnetic separation </Li> <Li> 5.2. 3 Gaseous diffusion </Li> <Li> 5.2. 4 Thermal diffusion </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5.3 Aggregate U-235 production </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Plutonium <Ul> <Li> 6.1 X-10 Graphite Reactor </Li> <Li> 6.2 Hanford reactors </Li> <Li> | The code name of the US program to develop an atomic bomb was | [

By the rude bridge that arched the flood , Their flag to April 's breeze unfurled , Here once the embattled farmers stood , And fired the shot heard round the world . <P> − Emerson , `` Concord Hymn '' </P> <P> The phrase comes from the opening stanza of Ralph Waldo Emerson 's `` Concord Hymn '' ( 1837 ) and refers to the first shot of the American Revolution . According to Emerson 's poem , this pivotal shot occurred at the Old North Bridge in Concord , Massachusetts , where the first British soldiers fell in the battles of Lexington and Concord . </P> <P> Historically , no single shot can be cited as the first shot of the battle or the war . Shots were fired earlier at Lexington , Massachusetts where eight Americans were killed and a British soldier was slightly wounded , but accounts of that event are confused and contradictory , and it has been characterized as a massacre rather than a battle . The North Bridge skirmish did see the first shots by Americans acting under orders , the first organized volley by Americans , the first British fatalities , and the first British retreat . </P> <P> The towns of Lexington and Concord and their partisans have debated over the point of origin for the Revolutionary War since 1824 , when the Marquis de Lafayette visited the towns . He was welcomed to Lexington hearing it described as the `` birthplace of American liberty '' , but he was then informed in Concord that the `` first forcible resistance '' was made there . President Grant considered not attending the 1875 centennial celebrations in the area to evade the issue . In 1894 , Lexington petitioned the state legislature to proclaim April 19 as `` Lexington Day '' , to which Concord objected ; the current name for the holiday is Patriots ' Day . </P> <P> Emerson lived in a house known as the Old Manse at the time when he was composing the `` Concord Hymn , '' from which his grandfather and father ( then a young child ) had witnessed the skirmish . The house is located approximately 300 feet ( 91 m ) from the North Bridge . </P> <H2> Assassination of Franz Ferdinand ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Assassination of Franz Ferdinand <P> The phrase `` shot heard round the world '' has taken on a different meaning in Europe and in the Commonwealth of Nations , countries that were part of the British Empire and formerly known as the British Commonwealth . It has become associated with the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria in Sarajevo on 28 June 1914 , an event considered to be one of the immediate causes of World War I. Serbian Gavrilo Princip fired two shots , the first hitting Franz Ferdinand 's wife Sophie , Duchess of Hohenberg , and the second hitting the Archduke himself . The death of Franz Ferdinand , heir to the Austro - Hungarian throne , propelled Austria - Hungary and the rest of Europe into World War I . </P> <H2> Widespread idiomatic use ( edit ) </H2> <P> `` Shot heard round the world '' continues to be a stock phrase in the 21st century , widely used to refer to unusual events in general , and has been applied to numerous dramatic moments in sports . For example , it refers to the winning goal of Paul Henderson in the final seconds of the 8th and final match to secure Team Canada 's victory in the 1972 Canada - USSR Summit - series . The goal was made famous by a Frank Lennon photograph . </P> <P> In American baseball , the `` Shot Heard ' Round the World '' ( usually spelled with an apostrophe ) denotes the game - winning walk - off home run by New York Giants outfielder Bobby Thomson off Brooklyn Dodgers pitcher Ralph Branca at the Polo Grounds to win the National League pennant on October 3 , 1951 . The Giants won the game 5 - 4 as a result of the home run , defeating their traditional rivals in their pennant playoff series , though they eventually lost the World Series to the Yankees . </P> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> ^ Jump up to : Parker , Brock ( April 28 , 2014 ) . `` The old tavern debate : Which town fired first ?

In traditional Indian society , the linga is seen as a symbol of the energy and potential of Shiva himself . </P> <P> The lingam is often represented as resting on yoni ( Sanskrit word , lit . `` origin '' or `` source '' , `` vulva '' ) , a symbol of Goddess Durga in Hinduism . </P> <P> Other aconistic representations are yoni ( of Shakti ) and Shaligram ( of Vishnu ) . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Definition </Li> <Li> 2 Origin </Li> <Li> 3 Historical period </Li> <Li> 4 Making of Lingam according to Scriptures </Li> <Li> 5 Naturally occurring Lingams </Li> <Li> 6 See also </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 Sources </Li> <Li> 9 Further reading </Li> <Li> 10 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Definition ( edit ) </H2> A 10th - century four - headed stone lingam ( Mukhalinga ) from Nepal <P> The lingam is a column - like or oval ( egg - shaped ) symbol of Shiva , the Formless All - pervasive Reality , made of stone , metal , or clay . The Shiva Linga is a symbol of Lord Shiva -- a mark that reminds of the Omnipotent Lord , which is formless . In Shaivite Hindu temples , the linga is a smooth cylindrical mass symbolising Shiva . It is found at the centre of the temple , often resting in the middle of a rimmed , disc - shaped structure , a representation of Shakti . </P> <H2> Origin ( edit ) </H2> Lingodbhava Shiva : God Shiva appears as in an infinite Linga fire - pillar , as Vishnu as Varaha tries to find the bottom of the Linga while Brahma tries to find its top . This infinite pillar conveys the infinite nature of Shiva . <P> Terracotta Shiva Linga figurines found in excavations at Indus Valley Civilization site of Kalibangan and other sites provide evidence of early Shiva Linga worship from circa 3500 BCE to 2300 BCE . </P> <P> Anthropologist Christopher John Fuller wrote that although most sculpted images ( murtis ) are anthropomorphic , the aniconic Shiva Linga is an important exception . Some believe that linga - worship was a feature of indigenous Indian religion . </P> <P> There is a hymn in the Atharvaveda that praises a pillar ( Sanskrit : stambha ) , and this is one possible origin of linga worship . Some associate Shiva - Linga with this Yupa - Stambha , the sacrificial post . In the hymn , a description is found of the beginning-less and endless Stambha or Skambha , and it is shown that the said Skambha is put in place of the eternal Brahman . The Yupa - Skambha gave place in time to the Shiva - Linga . In the Linga Purana the same hymn is expanded in the shape of stories meant to establish the glory of the great Stambha and the supreme nature of Mahâdeva ( the Great God , Shiva ) . </P> <P> The Hindu scripture Shiva Purana describes the origin of the lingam , known as Shiva - linga , as the beginning-less and endless cosmic pillar ( Stambha ) of fire , the cause of all causes . Lord Shiva is pictured as emerging from the Lingam -- the cosmic pillar of fire -- proving his superiority over the gods Brahma and Vishnu . This is known as Lingodbhava . The Linga Purana also supports this interpretation of lingam as a cosmic pillar , symbolizing the infinite nature of Shiva . According to the Linga Purana , the lingam is a complete symbolic representation of the formless Universe Bearer -- the oval - shaped stone is the symbol of the Universe , and the bottom base represents the Supreme Power that holds the entire Universe in it . A similar interpretation is also found in the Skanda Purana : `` The endless sky ( that great void which contains the entire universe ) is the Linga , the Earth is its base . At the end of time the entire universe and all the Gods finally merge in the Linga itself . '' In yogic lore , the linga is considered the | The meaning of Lord Shiva Lingam is that it | [

Del Boy ( who is now Lord of Peckham ) and Raquel live in a luxurious office block , Trotter Towers , but Rodney himself is merely an old messenger , Cassandra is a maid ( after Damien took over her bank and fired her ) , and Uncle Albert 's body has been preserved ( all he can say is his trademark phrase `` During the war ... '' on a constant loop ) . </P> <P> Rodney wakes up back in the present day on his birthday , on which he receives an identity bracelet from Del with the name `` Rooney '' . Del 's application for a council grant has been rejected , and Raquel receives a letter from her estranged parents , who want to meet her again . It emerges that Rodney and Cassandra have been trying for a baby , which leads to an unsuspecting Uncle Albert drinking one of Cassandra 's urine specimens , believing it to be apple juice . Meanwhile at Sid 's cafe , Trigger is telling everyone in earshot about a medal he received from the local council for using the same broom for twenty years , despite the fact that it has actually had 17 new heads and 14 new handles in that time . Del buys tickets for himself and Rodney to attend a publican 's fancy dress birthday party , Cassandra goes to Spain with her mother , and Raquel and Damien visit her parents . </P> <P> At Del 's insistence , he and Rodney go to the party dressed as Batman and Robin respectively , but their Reliant Regal van breaks down halfway there and they have to run the rest of the way . En route they interrupt an attempt to mug Councillor Murray and , emerging from the fog dressed as Batman and Robin , promptly scare away the thieves . Del and Rodney arrive at the party , unaware that the publican , Harry Malcolm , had in fact died the day before and the fancy dress has thus been cancelled in favour of a wake ( a fact that Boycie , who met them in the doorway , `` forgot '' to mention ) , and they burst into the main room singing the Batman theme tune . </P> <P> Del and Rodney are in the market the next day and see the gang of muggers again , this time attacking an elderly woman . Rodney gives chase , before one of the muggers then starts chasing him ; Del ultimately knocks the mugger unconscious with his suitcase . Del ( though not Rodney , much to his annoyance ) receives a medal for apprehending the gang . While at the awards ceremony , he meets Councillor Murray again , who offers to do him a favour in return for rescuing her . That night Del announces that his application for a council grant has now been approved , and Rodney reveals that Cassandra is pregnant . </P> <H2> Episode cast ( edit ) </H2> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Actor </Th> <Th> Role </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> David Jason </Td> <Td> Del Boy </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Nicholas Lyndhurst </Td> <Td> Rodney </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Buster Merryfield </Td> <Td> Uncle Albert </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Tessa Peake - Jones </Td> <Td> Raquel </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Gwyneth Strong </Td> <Td> Cassandra </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Roger Lloyd - Pack </Td> <Td> Trigger </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> John Challis </Td> <Td> Boycie </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Kenneth MacDonald </Td> <Td> Mike </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Sue Holderness </Td> <Td> Marlene </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Paul Barber </Td> <Td> Denzil </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Roy Heather </Td> <Td> Sid </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Angela Bruce </Td> <Td> Councillor Murray </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Douglas Hodge </Td> <Td> Old Damien </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Jamie Smith </Td> <Td> Damien </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Steve Weston </Td> | The Batman and Robin episode that parodies "Only Fools and Horses" is | [

Philosophia et septem artes liberales , The seven liberal arts -- Picture from the Hortus deliciarum of Herrad of Landsberg ( 12th century ) <P> Liberal arts education ( Latin : liberalis , free and ars , art or principled practice ) can claim to be the oldest programme of higher education in Western history . It has its origin in the attempt to discover first principles -- ' those universal principles which are the condition of the possibility of the existence of anything and everything ' . The liberal arts are those subjects or skills that in classical antiquity were considered essential for a free person ( Latin : liberalis , `` worthy of a free person '' ) to know in order to take an active part in civic life , something that ( for Ancient Greece ) included participating in public debate , defending oneself in court , serving on juries , and most importantly , military service . Grammar , logic , and rhetoric were the core liberal arts ( the Trivium ) , while arithmetic , geometry , the theory of music , and astronomy also played a ( somewhat lesser ) part in education ( as the Quadrivium ) . </P> <P> Liberal arts education can refer to academic subjects such as literature , philosophy , mathematics , and social and physical sciences , or it can also refer to overall studies in a liberal arts degree program . For both interpretations , the term generally refers to matters not relating to the professional , vocational , or technical curriculum . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Modern usage </Li> <Li> 3 Secondary school </Li> <Li> 4 In the United States </Li> <Li> 5 In Europe </Li> <Li> 6 In Asia </Li> <Li> 7 In Australia </Li> <Li> 8 See also </Li> <Li> 9 References </Li> <Li> 10 Further reading </Li> <Li> 11 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> Page from Marriage of Mercury and Philology <P> Rooted in the basic curriculum -- the enkuklios paideia or `` education in a circle '' -- of late Classical and Hellenistic Greece , the `` liberal arts '' or `` liberal pursuits '' ( Latin liberalia studia ) were already so called in formal education during the Roman Empire . The first recorded use of the term `` liberal arts '' ( artes liberales ) occurs in De Inventione by Marcus Tullius Cicero , but it is unclear if he created the term . Seneca the Younger discusses liberal arts in education from a critical Stoic point of view in Moral Epistle 88 . The exact classification of the liberal arts varied however in Roman times , and it was only after Martianus Capella in the 5th century AD influentially brought the seven liberal arts as bridesmaids to the Marriage of Mercury and Philology , that they took on canonical form . </P> <P> </P> <P> The four ' scientific ' artes -- music , arithmetic , geometry and astronomy ( or astrology ) -- were known from the time of Boethius onwards as the Quadrivium . After the 9th century , the remaining three arts of the ' humanities ' -- grammar , logic , and rhetoric -- were classed as well , as the Trivium . It was in that two-fold form that the seven liberal arts were studied in the medieval Western university . During the Middle Ages , logic gradually came to take predominance over the other parts of the Trivium . </P> <P> In the Renaissance , the Italian humanists and their Northern counterparts , despite in many respects continuing the traditions of the Middle Ages , reversed that process . Re-christening the old Trivium with a new and more ambitious name : Studia humanitatis , and also increasing its scope , they downplayed logic as opposed to the traditional Latin grammar and rhetoric , and added to them history , Greek , and moral philosophy ( ethics ) , with a new emphasis on poetry as well . The educational curriculum of humanism spread throughout Europe during the sixteenth century and became the educational foundation for the schooling of European elites , the functionaries of political administration , the clergy of the various legally recognized churches , and the learned professions of law and medicine . The ideal of a liberal arts , or humanistic education grounded in classical languages and literature , persisted until the middle of the twentieth century . </P> <H2> Modern usage ( edit ) </H2> <P> Some subsections of the liberal arts are in the trivium -- the verbal arts : grammar , logic , and rhetoric ; and in the quadrivium -- the numerical arts : arithmetic , geometry , music , and astronomy . Analyzing and interpreting information is also included . </P> <P> Academic areas that are associated with the term liberal arts include : </P> <Ul> <Li> Arts ( fine arts , music , performing arts , literature ) </Li> <Li> Mathematics </Li> <Li> Natural science ( biology , chemistry , physics , astronomy , earth science ) </Li> <Li> Philosophy </Li> <Li> Religious studies </Li> <Li> Social science ( anthropology , economics , geography , history , jurisprudence , linguistics , political science , psychology , sociology ) </Li> </Ul> <P> For example , the core courses for Georgetown University 's Doctor of Liberal Studies program cover philosophy , theology , history , art , literature , and the social sciences .

These dependencies were often called `` protectorates '' or `` trucial states '' . By this system , the day - to - day government and administration of areas both small and large was left in the hands of traditional rulers , who gained prestige and the stability and protection afforded by the Pax Britannica , at the cost of losing control of their external affairs , and often of taxation , communications , and other matters , usually with a small number of European `` advisors '' effectively overseeing the government of large numbers of people spread over extensive areas . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 British Empire <Ul> <Li> 1.1 In Africa </Li> <Li> 1.2 In India </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Practical implementation of indirect rule </Li> <Li> 3 Interpretations </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> <Li> 6 Sources and references <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Period writings </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> British Empire ( edit ) </H2> 1895 cartoon of Frederick Lugard , considered the pioneer of indirect rule in colonial Africa <P> Some British colonies were ruled directly by the Colonial Office in London , while others were ruled indirectly through local rulers who are supervised behind the scenes by British advisors . In 1890 Zanzibar became a protectorate ( not a colony ) of Britain . Prime minister Salisbury explained his position : </P> <Dl> <Dd> The condition of a protected dependency is more acceptable to the half civilized races , and more suitable for them than direct dominion . It is cheaper , simpler , less wounding to their self - esteem , gives them more career as public officials , and spares of unnecessary contact with white men . </Dd> </Dl> <P> The Princely States of India were ruled indirectly . So too was much of the West African holdings . </P> <H3> In Africa ( edit ) </H3> <P> The ideological underpinnings , as well as the practical application , of indirect rule in Kenya and Nigeria is usually traced to the work of Frederick Lugard , the High Commissioner of the Protectorate of Northern Nigeria from 1899 to 1906 . In the lands of the Sokoto Caliphate , conquered by the British Empire at the turn of the century , Lugard instituted a system whereby external , military , and tax control was operated by the British , while most every other aspect of life was left to local pre-British aristocracies who may have sided with the British during or after their conquest . The theory behind this solution to a very practical problem ( a problem referred to as ' The Native Problem ' by Mahmood Mamdani in his work Citizen and Subject ) of domination by a tiny group of foreigners of huge populations is laid out in Lugard 's influential work , The Dual Mandate in British Tropical Africa . </P> <H3> In India ( edit ) </H3> <P> The largest application of Indirect rule was in British Asia , in hundreds of pre-colonial states , first seen at work under the East India Company 's system of subsidiary alliances in the Indian subcontinent . The areas thus brought into the British sphere of influence became known as the Indian Princely States . Subsequently , the same principle was applied in strategic regions on the sea routes to India , especially in the Persian Gulf protected states . </P> <P> In the British colonies , the laws were typically made by a British Governor and legislative council , but in the protectorates and princely states local rulers retained their traditional administrative authority and ability to legislate , subject to British control of certain areas . Indirect rule was particularly effective in enabling the British to exploit natural resources and raw materials of vast subordinate nations . The establishment of naval and military bases in strategic points around the globe maintained the necessary power to underpin such control . </P> <H2> Practical implementation of indirect rule ( edit ) </H2> <P> Indirect rule was cheaper and easier for the European powers , and in particular it required fewer administrators , but it did have a number of problems . In many cases , European authorities empowered local traditional leaders , as in the case of the monarchy of Uganda , but if no suitable leader could be found ( in the traditional Western sense of the term ) , the Europeans would simply choose local rulers to suit them . This was the case in Kenya and Southern Nigeria , and the new leaders , often called `` warrant chiefs '' , were not always supported by the local population . The European ruling classes also often chose local leaders with similar traits to their own , despite these traits not being suited to native leadership . Many were conservative elders , and thus indirect rule fostered a conservative outlook among the indigenous population and marginalised the young intelligentsia . Written laws , which replaced oral laws , were less flexible to the changing social nature , old customs of retribution and justice were removed or banned , and the removal of more violent punishments in some areas led to an increase in crime . Furthermore , leaders empowered by the governments of European powers were often not familiar with their new tasks , such as recruitment and tax . </P> <H2> Interpretations ( edit ) </H2> <P> From the early 20th century , French and British writers helped establish a dichotomy between British Indirect rule , exemplified by the Indian princely states and by Lord Lugard 's writings on the administration of northern | The generally preferred way for European powers to control colonial regions was through | [

In many cultures , it is most commonly , but not universally , used to indicate agreement , acceptance , or acknowledgment . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 To indicate acceptance </Li> <Li> 2 To indicate refusal </Li> <Li> 3 As greeting </Li> <Li> 4 Nodding syndrome </Li> <Li> 5 See also </Li> <Li> 6 References </Li> <Li> 7 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> To indicate acceptance ( edit ) </H2> <P> Different cultures assign different meanings to the gesture . Nodding to indicate `` yes '' is widespread , and appears in a large number of diverse cultural and linguistic groups . Areas in which nodding generally takes this meaning include the Indian subcontinent ( note that the head bobble also shows agreement there ) , the Middle East , Southeast Asia , most of Europe ( see below ) , Latin America and North America . Nodding may also be used as a sign of recognition in some areas , or to show respect . An insult may be inferred if it is not returned in kind . </P> <P> In Greece , the single nod of the head down that indicates `` yes '' is often combined with closing the eyes simultaneously . This nod commonly also includes a very slight , almost unnoticeable , turn of the head to the left ( or to the right ) . </P> <P> An early survey of nodding and other gestures was The Expression of the Emotions in Man and Animals , written by Charles Darwin in 1872 . Darwin wrote to missionaries in many parts of the world asking for information on local gestures , and concluded that nodding for `` yes '' was common to many different groups . </P> <P> There are varying theories as to why nodding is so frequently used to indicate acceptance . One simple theory is that it is a form of bowing , indicating that one is prepared to accept what another person is saying or requesting . It has also been stated that babies , when hungry , search for milk by moving their heads vertically , but decline milk by turning their head from side to side . </P> <H2> To indicate refusal ( edit ) </H2> <P> There are few exceptions with some countries swapping the meanings between nodding and shaking head : in Greece , Iran , Lebanon , Syria , Turkey , Egypt , Bulgaria , Albania , and Sicily a single nod of the head up ( not down ) indicates a `` no '' . </P> <P> Specifically in Greece , the single nod of the head up that indicates `` no '' is almost always combined with a simultaneous raise of the eyebrows and most commonly also with a slight ( or complete ) rolling up of the eyes . There is also a sound that sometimes accompanies the whole gesture , called `` τσου '' . This sound bears heavy resemblance , but is not identical , to the British tutting sound . The use of `` τσου '' is optional and reserved only for heavy emphasis on the `` no '' . </P> <P> The emphasis on the raised eyebrows and the rolling up of the eyes is such , that the actual nod of the head upwards has ended up being of secondary importance . A person can denote `` no '' by simply raising their eyebrows and rolling up their eyes , with the head staying completely still . </P> <H2> As greeting ( edit ) </H2> <P> Nodding can also be used as a form of nonverbal greeting or acknowledgement of another 's presence ; in this context , it is essentially an especially mild form of bowing , with just enough movement to show a degree of respect without additional formality . This includes the traditional downwards nod , or the upwards nod ( which is more informal and usually used among friends or subordinates ) . To increase the formality , the downwards nod may also be accompanied by a suitable verbal greeting . </P> <H2> Nodding syndrome ( edit ) </H2> <P> Nodding is also a symptom of a yet unexplained disease . It affects mostly children under 15 , and was first documented in Tanzania in 1962 . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Head bobble </Li> <Li> Head shake </Li> </Ul> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Darwin , Charles .

Elections to two other local authorities in Mullaitivu District were due but were repeatedly postponed due to alleged delays in resettling internally displaced persons following the end of the civil war in 2009 . Elections to the remaining 11 local authorities were not due as they had their last election in 2008 or 2009 .

These 234 local authorities were then dissolved and their administration placed under special commissioners appointed by the government . The term of the 65 local authorities ( 1 MC , 9 UC , 55 DC ) that had their election on 23 July 2011 expired on 31 July 2015 after which their administration was placed under special commissioners .

By 1840 , the population of `` North Elba '' ( four miles southeast of the present village , near where the road to the Adirondak Loj crosses the Ausable River ) was six families . In 1845 , Gerrit Smith arrived in North Elba and not only bought a great deal of land around the village but granted large tracts to former slaves . He reformed the land law and demonstrated his support of Abolitionism . </P> <P> The abolitionist John Brown heard about Smith 's reforms , and left his anti-slavery activities in Kansas to buy 244 acres ( 1.0 km ) of land in North Elba . This parcel later became known as the `` Freed Slave Utopian Experiment , '' Timbucto . Shortly before his execution in 1859 , John Brown asked to be buried on his farm , which is preserved as the John Brown Farm State Historic Site . </P> <P> As leisure time increased in the late 19th century , Lake Placid was discovered as a resort by the wealthy , who were drawn to the fashionable Lake Placid Club . Melvil Dewey , who invented the Dewey Decimal System , designed what was then called `` Placid Park Club '' in 1895 . This inspired the village to change its name to Lake Placid , which became an incorporated village in 1900 . Dewey kept the club open through the winter in 1905 , which aided the development of winter sports in the area . Nearby Saranac Lake had hosted an international winter sporting event as early as 1889 , and was used year - round by patients seeking treatment for tuberculosis at sanitariums . The mountain air was considered good for them . </P> <P> By 1921 , the Lake Placid area could boast a ski jump , speed skating venue and ski association . In 1929 , Dr. Godfrey Dewey , Melvil 's son , convinced the International Olympic Committee ( IOC ) Lake Placid had the best winter sports facilities in the United States . The Lake Placid Club was the headquarters for the IOC for the 1932 and the 1980 Winter Olympics in Lake Placid . </P> <P> In addition to the John Brown Farm and Gravesite , the Mount Van Hoevenberg Olympic Bobsled Run , New York Central Railroad Adirondack Division Historic District , and United States Post Office are listed on the National Register of Historic Places . </P> <H2> Olympic Games ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Lake Placid Winter Olympic Museum Works Progress Administration poster from the late 1930s to advertise public access to the bobsled run from the 1932 Olympics <P> Lake Placid hosted the Winter Olympics in 1932 and 1980 . During the 1932 games , the trails outside of the village served for the cross-country skiing events and the cross-country skiing part of the Nordic combined event . Lake Placid , St Moritz and Innsbruck are the only sites to have twice hosted the Winter Olympic Games . </P> <P> Jack Shea , a resident of the village , became the first person to win two gold medals when he doubled in speed skating at the 1932 Winter Olympics . He carried the Olympic torch through Lake Placid in 2002 shortly before his death . His grandson , Jimmy Shea , competed in the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City , Utah , in his honor , winning gold in the Skeleton . </P> <P> In the U.S. , the village is especially remembered as the site of the 1980 USA -- USSR hockey game . Dubbed as the `` Miracle on Ice '' , a group of American college students and amateurs upset the heavily favored Soviet national ice hockey team , 4 -- 3 , and two days later won the gold medal . Another highpoint during the Games was American speed - skater Eric Heiden 's performance , who won five gold medals . </P> <P> Lake Placid was interested in bidding for the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics but decided against it ; Lillehammer , Norway , was the only bidder and was awarded the games . Lake Placid shifted its interest toward bidding for the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics , but it again did not submit a bid . </P> <H2> Recreational opportunities ( edit ) </H2> Aerial view of the lake which gave the community its name <P> Lake Placid is well known among winter - sports enthusiasts for its skiing , both Alpine and Nordic . Whiteface Mountain ( 4,867 ft or 1,483 m ) , in nearby Wilmington about 13 miles ( 21 km ) from Lake Placid , offers skiing , hiking , gondola rides , and mountain biking , and is the only one of the High Peaks that can be reached by an auto road . Whiteface Mountain has a vertical elevation of 3,430 feet ( 1,050 m ) , the highest vertical elevation of mountains in Eastern North America . The area has one of only 16 bobsled runs in the Western Hemisphere . </P> <P> In 2010 , U.S. News & World Report highlighted Lake Placid as one of the `` 6 Forgotten Vacation Spots '' in North America . </P> <P> Many people use Lake Placid as a base from which to climb the 46 High Peaks in the Adirondack Mountains . Those who complete these climbs may join the Adirondack 46ers . </P> <P> Lake Placid built its first golf course in 1898 , one of the first in the U.S. , and has more courses than any other venue in the Adirondacks . Many of its courses were designed by well - known golf course architects , such as John Van Kleek , Seymour Dunn , Alexander H. Findlay , and Alister MacKenzie .

It introduced concepts including spacetime as a unified entity of space and time , relativity of simultaneity , kinematic and gravitational time dilation , and length contraction .

Michelson , Hendrik Lorentz , Henri Poincaré and others . Max Planck , Hermann Minkowski and others did subsequent work . </P> <P> Einstein developed general relativity between 1907 and 1915 , with contributions by many others after 1915 . The final form of general relativity was published in 1916 . </P> <P> The term `` theory of relativity '' was based on the expression `` relative theory '' ( German : Relativtheorie ) used in 1906 by Planck , who emphasized how the theory uses the principle of relativity . In the discussion section of the same paper , Alfred Bucherer used for the first time the expression `` theory of relativity '' ( German : Relativitätstheorie ) . </P> <P> By the 1920s , the physics community understood and accepted special relativity . It rapidly became a significant and necessary tool for theorists and experimentalists in the new fields of atomic physics , nuclear physics , and quantum mechanics . </P> <P> By comparison , general relativity did not appear to be as useful , beyond making minor corrections to predictions of Newtonian gravitation theory . It seemed to offer little potential for experimental test , as most of its assertions were on an astronomical scale . Its mathematics seemed difficult and fully understandable only by a small number of people . Around 1960 , general relativity became central to physics and astronomy . New mathematical techniques to apply to general relativity streamlined calculations and made its concepts more easily visualized . As astronomical phenomena were discovered , such as quasars ( 1963 ) , the 3 - kelvin microwave background radiation ( 1965 ) , pulsars ( 1967 ) , and the first black hole candidates ( 1981 ) , the theory explained their attributes , and measurement of them further confirmed the theory . </P> <H2> Special relativity </H2> Main article : Special relativity <P> Special relativity is a theory of the structure of spacetime . It was introduced in Einstein 's 1905 paper `` On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies '' ( for the contributions of many other physicists see History of special relativity ) . Special relativity is based on two postulates which are contradictory in classical mechanics : </P> <Ol> <Li> The laws of physics are the same for all observers in uniform motion relative to one another ( principle of relativity ) . </Li> <Li> The speed of light in a vacuum is the same for all observers , regardless of their relative motion or of the motion of the light source . </Li> </Ol> <P> The resultant theory copes with experiment better than classical mechanics . For instance , postulate 2 explains the results of the Michelson -- Morley experiment . Moreover , the theory has many surprising and counterintuitive consequences . Some of these are : </P> <Ul> <Li> Relativity of simultaneity : Two events , simultaneous for one observer , may not be simultaneous for another observer if the observers are in relative motion . </Li> <Li> Time dilation : Moving clocks are measured to tick more slowly than an observer 's `` stationary '' clock . </Li> <Li> Length contraction : Objects are measured to be shortened in the direction that they are moving with respect to the observer . </Li> <Li> Maximum speed is finite : No physical object , message or field line can travel faster than the speed of light in a vacuum . </Li> <Li> The effect of Gravity can only travel through space at the speed of light , not faster or instantaneously . </Li> <Li> Mass -- energy equivalence : E = mc , energy and mass are equivalent and transmutable . </Li> <Li> Relativistic mass , idea used by some researchers . </Li> </Ul> <P> The defining feature of special relativity is the replacement of the Galilean transformations of classical mechanics by the Lorentz transformations .

In the early days of automobile manufacturing there was no identical matching transmission , body frame , and engine numbers . It was possible to change engines and repaint the car or truck and in effect turn it into a different vehicle and thus it became near impossible to prove that the vehicle was stolen . The term `` hot '' was equivalent to being stolen . The term `` rod '' was equivalent to any motorized vehicle . Even today , the Ontario Ministry of the Environment in its vehicle emissions regulations , refers to a `` hotrod '' as any motorized vehicle that has a replacement engine differing from the factory original . Another possible origin includes replacement of the camshaft with a new ( `` hotter '' ) version , sometimes known as a hot stick or hot rod . Roadsters were the cars of choice because they were light , easy to modify , and inexpensive . The term became commonplace in the 1930s or 1940s as the name of a car that had been `` hopped up '' by modifying the engine for higher performance . A term common in the early days was `` gow job '' . This has fallen into disuse except with historians . </P> <P> The gow job morphed into the hot rod in the early to middle 1950s . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <H3> Late 1930s -- 1950s ( edit ) </H3> <P> The term seems first to have appeared in the late 1930s in southern California , where people raced modified cars on dry lake beds northeast of Los Angeles under the rules of the Southern California Timing Association ( SCTA ) , among other groups . The activity increased in popularity after World War II , particularly in California , because many returning soldiers received technical training in the service . Many cars were prepared by bootleggers in response to Prohibition to enable them to avoid revenue agents ( `` Revenooers '' ) ; some police vehicles were also modified in response . </P> <P> The first hot rods were old cars ( most often Fords , typically Model Ts , 1928 -- 31 Model As , or 1932 - 34 Model Bs ) , modified to reduce weight . Typical modifications were removal of convertible tops , hoods , bumpers , windshields , and / or fenders ; channeling the body ; and modifying the engine by tuning and / or replacing with a more powerful type . Speedster was a common name for the modified car . Wheels and tires were changed for improved traction and handling . `` Hot rod '' was sometimes a term used in the 1950s as a derogatory term for any car that did not fit into the mainstream . Hot rodders ' modifications were considered to improve the appearance as well , leading to show cars in the 1960s replicating these same modifications along with a distinctive paint job . </P> <P> Typical of builds from before World War Two were ' 35 Ford wire - spoke wheels . </P> <P> Immediately postwar , most rods would change from mechanical to hydraulic ( `` juice '' ) brakes and from bulb to sealed - beam headlights . </P> <P> Engine swaps often involved fitting the Ford flathead V8 engine , or `` flatty '' , in a different chassis ; the `` 60 horse '' in a Jeep was a popular choice in the ' 40s . After the appearance of the 255 cu in ( 4.2 l ) V8 , because of interchangeability , installing the longer - stroke Mercury crank in the 239 was a popular upgrade among hot rodders , much as the 400 cu in ( 6.6 l ) crank in small - blocks would later become . In the 1950s , the flathead block was often fitted with crankshafts of up to 4.125 in ( 104.8 mm ) stroke , sometimes more . In addition , rodders in the 1950s routinely bored them out by 0.1875 in ( 4.76 mm ) ( to 3.375 in ( 85.7 mm ) ) ; due to the tendency of blocks to crack as a result of overheating , a perennial problem , this is no longer recommended . In the ' 50s and ' 60s , the flatty was supplanted by the early hemi . By the 1970s , the small - block Chevy was the most common option , and since the ' 80s , the 350 cu in ( 5.7 l ) Chevy | The term "hot rod" originated in | [

Nanavati vs. State of Maharashtra was a 1959 Indian court case where Commander Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati , a Naval Commander , was tried for the murder of Prem Ahuja , his wife 's lover . The incident received unprecedented media coverage and inspired several books and films such as the 1973 film Achanak and 2016 film Rustom . Commander Nanavati , accused under section 302 , was initially declared not guilty by a jury , but the verdict was dismissed by the Bombay High Court and the case was retried as a bench trial . This was among the last cases to be heard as a jury trial in India , as the government abolished jury trials soon after in most cases except for Parsis who still have Jury Trials for their Matrimonial Disputes . Nanavati was finally pardoned by Vijayalakshmi Pandit , newly appointed Governor of Bombay and sister of Prime Minister Jawaharlal Nehru . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 Shooting </Li> <Li> 3 Jury trial </Li> <Li> 4 Retrial <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Defence version </Li> <Li> 4.2 Prosecution version </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 Public support </Li> <Li> 6 Release </Li> <Li> 7 In popular culture </Li> <Li> 8 Notes and references </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Background ( edit ) </H2> Kawas Nanavati <P> Kawas Manekshaw Nanavati ( 1925 -- 2003 ) , a Parsi , was a Commander with the Indian Navy and had settled down in Mumbai with Sylvia ( 1921 -- 2005 ) , his English - born wife and their two sons and a daughter . </P> <P> With Nanavati frequently away on assignments for long periods of time , Sylvia fell in love with Prem Bhagwan Ahuja , a Sindhi friend of Nanavati 's . In her testimony in court , Prem 's sister Mamie Ahuja , stated that Prem had agreed to marry Sylvia , provided she divorced her husband . However , this was contradicted by the letters written by Sylvia ( admitted as Sylvia 's testimony ) , where she expressed her desire to divorce Nanavati and marry Prem , but she doubted whether Prem had the same intentions . In a letter dated 24 May 1960 , she wrote `` Last night when you spoke of your marrying me and the various other girls you might marry , something inside me snapped and I knew I could not bear the thought of your loving someone else ... '' . </P> <H2> Shooting ( edit ) </H2> Sylvia Nanavati <P> On 1 November , Nanavati returned home from one of his assignments and finding Sylvia aloof and distant , he questioned her . Sylvia , who now doubted Prem 's intention to marry her , confessed about the affair to her husband . Nanavati dropped his family at the Metro Cinema , for a show he had promised to take them to , but excused himself and headed straight to confront Prem Ahuja . When Sylvia was asked in court , why she went to the theatre , leaving her agitated husband behind , she answered , `` I was upset myself and I did not think clearly then . I was not indifferent to my husband killing himself ... It is difficult to explain these things to children , so I took them to the cinema . </P> <P> Nanavati went to the Naval base , collected his pistol on a false pretext from the stores along with six bullets , completed his official duties and proceeded to Prem Ahuja 's office . On not finding him there , he went to Ahuja 's flat and found him there . There was a verbal confrontation between the two men ; according to Nanavati 's account related in court , he had asked Ahuja whether the latter intended to marry Sylvia and accept their children . After Prem replied in the negative , three shots were fired and Prem Ahuja dropped dead .

To ensure Harry 's safety , Albus Dumbledore placed him in the Dursleys ' care when he was a baby . The Dursleys live at Number 4 , Privet Drive , Little Whinging in Surrey , England . They are all Muggles , and despise all things related to magic -- and anything out of the ordinary in general -- and the Wizarding World , especially the Potters . </P> <H3> Vernon Dursley ( edit ) </H3> <P> Vernon Dursley is Harry 's uncle , Petunia 's husband ( and therefore Lily Potter 's brother - in - law ) , Dudley 's father and Marge 's brother . Vernon is described as a big , beefy man , the literal human embodiment of a walrus , with hardly any neck , and a large moustache . He is very much the head of his family , laying down most of the rules for Harry and doing most of the threatening , as well as spoiling Dudley . He is also the director of a drill - making firm , Grunnings , and seems to be quite successful in his career . He regularly reads the Daily Mail . </P> <P> Uncle Vernon and his wife have grudgingly raised Harry from an early age . He and Petunia were often hostile to Harry and never informed him about the magical world , including how his parents died ; they explained it away as a car crash . Unlike Petunia , who proves to have a slight feeling of familial loyalty to Harry , Vernon seems to hate his nephew so much that in Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix , he is willing to throw him out of the house , knowing that doing so would put him in grave danger . In fact , while discussing the Dementor attack with Harry , Vernon actually hopes aloud that Harry will receive the death penalty . Vernon also has an aversion to imagination , to any references to magic , and anything even slightly out of the ordinary ; in the first book , when Harry mentions dreaming about a flying motorbike , Vernon responds by angrily bellowing that motorbikes do not fly , despite Harry 's protests that it was only a dream . </P> <P> When the Dursleys decide to leave Privet Drive to go into hiding , Vernon nearly shakes Harry 's hand good - bye , though he ultimately can not bring himself to do it . In the film version , he leaves without even a word to Harry although a deleted scene showing Dudley and Harry 's reconciliation shows him saying `` this is farewell '' . </P> <P> Vernon is portrayed by Richard Griffiths in the film series . </P> <H3> Petunia Dursley ( edit ) </H3> <P> Petunia Dursley is Harry 's maternal aunt , Lily Potter 's older sister , Vernon 's wife , Dudley 's mother , and Marge 's sister - in - law . She is described as a bony woman with blonde hair that she passed down to her son , a `` rather horsey '' face and a very long neck , and spends most of her time spying on her neighbours . Her eyes are large and pale , quite unlike Lily 's . Her entire family , except Lily , is made up of Muggles . According to Petunia , her parents were proud of having a witch in the family , but Petunia saw her sister as a freak . In fact , Petunia was envious and resentful of Lily 's magical abilities and went so far as to write to Dumbledore , pleading to be allowed to enter Hogwarts . Dumbledore gently denied her enrollment . Afterwards , Petunia grew bitter towards the school and , by extension , towards the wizarding world in general .

It was created by Japanese video game designer Toru Iwatani . It was licensed for distribution in the United States by Midway Games and released in October 1980 . Immensely popular from its original release to the present day , Pac - Man is considered one of the classics of the medium , and an icon of 1980s popular culture . Upon its release , the game -- and , subsequently , Pac - Man derivatives -- became a social phenomenon that yielded high sales of merchandise and inspired a legacy in other media , such as the Pac - Man animated television series and the top - ten Buckner and Garcia hit single `` Pac - Man Fever '' . Pac - Man was popular in the 1980s and 1990s and is still played in the 2010s . </P> <P> When Pac - Man was released , the most popular arcade video games were space shooters -- in particular , Space Invaders and Asteroids . The most visible minority were sports games that were mostly derivatives of Pong . Pac - Man succeeded by creating a new genre . Pac - Man is often credited with being a landmark in video game history and is among the most famous arcade games of all time . It is also one of the highest - grossing video games of all time , having generated more than $2.5 billion in quarters by the 1990s . </P> <P> The character has appeared in more than 30 officially licensed game spin - offs , as well as in numerous unauthorized clones and bootlegs . According to the Davie - Brown Index , Pac - Man has the highest brand awareness of any video game character among American consumers , recognized by 94 percent of them . Pac - Man is one of the longest running video game franchises from the golden age of video arcade games .

Entrance to Lost Dutchman State Park <P> The Lost Dutchman 's Gold Mine ( also known by similar names ) is , according to legend , a rich gold mine hidden in the southwestern United States . The location is generally believed to be in the Superstition Mountains , near Apache Junction , east of Phoenix , Arizona . There have been many stories about how to find the mine , and each year people search for the mine . Some have died on the search . </P> <P> The mine is named after German immigrant Jacob Waltz ( c. 1810 -- 1891 ) , who purportedly discovered it in the 19th century and kept its location a secret . `` Dutchman '' was a common American term for a `` German '' ( `` Dutch '' being the English cognate to the German demonym `` Deutsch '' ) . </P> <P> The Lost Dutchman 's is perhaps the most famous lost mine in American history . Arizona place - name expert Byrd Granger wrote , as of 1977 , the Lost Dutchman 's story had been printed or cited at least six times more often than two other fairly well - known tales , the story of Captain Kidd 's lost treasure , and the story of the Lost Pegleg mine in California . People have been seeking the Lost Dutchman 's mine since at least 1892 , while according to one estimate , 8,000 people annually made some effort to locate the Lost Dutchman 's mine . Former Arizona Attorney General Bob Corbin is among those who have looked for the mine . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Other Lost Dutchman 's mines </Li> <Li> 2 Stories about the mine <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Lost Apache gold or Dr. Thorne 's story <Ul> <Li> 2.1. 1 The truth about the Peralta Mine </Li> <Li> 2.1. 2 The truth about Dr. Thorne </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2.2 The Lost Dutchman 's story </Li> <Li> 2.3 Stories of the soldiers ' lost gold vein </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 The historical Jacob Waltz </Li> <Li> 4 The death of Adolph Ruth </Li> <Li> 5 Other searches for the mine </Li> <Li> 6 Other deaths and disappearances </Li> <Li> 7 Lost Dutchman State Park </Li> <Li> 8 In popular culture </Li> <Li> 9 See also </Li> <Li> 10 References </Li> <Li> 11 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Other Lost Dutchman 's mines ( edit ) </H2> <P> Robert Blair wrote `` ( t ) here have been at least four legendary Lost Dutchman 's gold mines in the American West , including the famed Superstition mine of Jacob Waltz '' . One Lost Dutchman 's mine is said to be in Colorado , another in California ; two are said to be located in Arizona . Tales of these other Lost Dutchman 's mines can be traced to at least the 1870s . The earliest Lost Dutchman 's mine in Arizona was said to have been near Wickenburg , about 180 km ( 110 mi ) north - west of the Superstition Mountains : a `` Dutchman '' was allegedly discovered dead in the desert near Wickenburg in the 1870s alongside saddlebags filled with gold . Blair suggested that `` fragments of this legend have perhaps become attached to the mythical mine of Jacob Waltz '' . </P> <H2> Stories about the mine ( edit ) </H2> <P> Granger wrote that `` fact and fiction blend in the tales '' , but that there are three main elements to the story : </P> <Dl> <Dd> `` They are , first , tales of the lost Apache gold or Dr. Thorne 's mine ; second , tales about the Lost Dutchman 's ; and , third , stories of the soldiers ' lost gold vein ... ( t ) he most complete version of the Lost Dutchman 's story incorporates all three legends '' . Blair argued that there are kernels of truth at the heart of each of these three main stories , though the popular story is often badly garbled from the actual account . Other theories have materialized that speculate the mine is buried at the bottom of Apache or Roosevelt Lake . </Dd> </Dl> <P> In 1977 , Granger identified 62 variants of the Lost Dutchman 's story -- some of the variations are minor , but others are substantial , casting the story in a very different light from the other versions . </P> <H3> Lost Apache gold or Dr. Thorne 's story ( edit ) </H3> <P> In this story ( actually two interconnected stories ) , members of the Apache tribe are said to have a very rich gold mine located in the Superstition Mountains . Famed Apache Geronimo is sometimes mentioned in relation to this story . In most variants of the story , the family of a man called Miguel Peralta discovered the mine and began mining the gold there , only to be attacked or massacred by Apaches in about 1850 in the supposed Peralta massacre . Years later , a man called Dr. Thorne treats an ailing or wounded Apache ( often alleged to be a chieftain ) and is rewarded with a trip to a rich gold mine . He is blindfolded and taken there by a circuitous route , and is allowed to take as much gold ore as he can carry before again being escorted blindfolded from the site by the Apaches . Thorne is said to be either unwilling or unable to relocate the mine . </P> The truth about the Peralta mine ( edit ) <P> Most likely because Pedro de Peralta had been the Spanish Governor of New Mexico ( in the 1600s ) his family name of `` Peralta '' | The Lost Dutchman's Mine is supposed to be located | [

The aerodynamics package for each manufacturer is homologated after a series of tests which ensure that the different body styles produce near - identical downforce and drag numbers . </P> <H3> Weight ( edit ) </H3> <P> The minimum weight of each car is 1,410 kilograms ( 3,110 lb ) including the driver , with a minimum load of 755 kg over the front axle . The minimum weight for the driver is 100 kg and includes the driver dressed in a full racing suit , the seat and seat mountings and any ballast needed to meet the minimum weight . Some other components also have a minimum weight , such as the engine ( 200 kg ) and the front uprights ( 10.5 kg each ) . </P> <H3> Engine and drivetrain ( edit ) </H3> <P> All cars must be front - engined and rear - wheel drive . All cars use a 5.0 - litre , naturally aspirated V8 - engine with electronic fuel injection , capable of producing between 460 and 485 kW ( 620 -- 650 bhp ) . Manufacturers are free to choose between using an engine based on one from their own line up or a generic engine provided by V8 Supercars . Both Ford and Holden use US - based racing engines with pushrod actuated valves and two valves per cylinder . Mercedes , Nissan and Volvo use modified versions of their own engines , with hydraulic - lift valves and four valves per cylinder . All engines are electronically limited to 7,500 rpm and have a compression ratio of 10 : 1 . </P> <P> Power is transferred from the engine to the rear wheels through a six - speed sequential transaxle with an integrated spool differential . The individual gear ratios and the final drive ratio are fixed with drop gears at the front of the transaxle allowing the teams to alter the overall transmission ratio for different circuits . The cars use a triple plate clutch . The cars run on E85 fuel with a fuel tank capacity of 112 litres . </P> <P> An electronic control unit ( ECU ) , provided by MoTeC , is used to monitor and optimise various aspects of the engine 's performance . Numerous sensors in the car collect information which is then transmitted to the team , allowing them to monitor things such as tyre wear and fuel consumption and find potential problems with the car . The ECU is also used by officials during the scrutineering process . </P> <H3> Suspension ( edit ) </H3> <P> All cars are required to use a double wishbone setup for the front suspension and independent rear suspension . Both the front and rear suspension systems feature adjustable shock absorbers and an anti-roll bar which can be adjusted from the cockpit . </P> <H3> Brakes ( edit ) </H3> <P> The cars use disc brakes supplied by AP Racing on the front and rear , with the master cylinders provided by AP Racing or former control brake supplier Alcon . The front discs have a diameter of 395 millimetres ( 15.6 in ) and a six - piston caliper , while the rear discs are 355 millimetres ( 14.0 in ) diameter and have a four - piston caliper . </P> <H3> Wheels and tyres ( edit ) </H3> <P> The cars use 18 - inch control wheels , produced by Rimstock and supplied by Racer Industries , and control tyres from Dunlop . The slick tyre is available in both hard and soft compounds , with teams required to use either or both compounds in each race , depending on the event . A grooved wet tyre is used in damp conditions . </P> <H3> Cost ( edit ) </H3> <P> The New Generation V8 Supercar regulations were intended to reduce the cost of building a car ( without engine ) from around $450,000 to $250,000 , with the | A Holden V8 Supercar is powered by | [

Its first component launched into orbit in 1998 , and the ISS is now the largest human - made body in low Earth orbit and can often be seen with the naked eye from Earth . The ISS consists of pressurised modules , external trusses , solar arrays , and other components . ISS components have been launched by Russian Proton and Soyuz rockets , and American Space Shuttles . </P> <P> The ISS serves as a microgravity and space environment research laboratory in which crew members conduct experiments in biology , human biology , physics , astronomy , meteorology , and other fields . The station is suited for the testing of spacecraft systems and equipment required for missions to the Moon and Mars . The ISS maintains an orbit with an altitude of between 330 and 435 km ( 205 and 270 mi ) by means of reboost manoeuvres using the engines of the Zvezda module or visiting spacecraft . It completes 15.54 orbits per day . </P> <P> The ISS is the ninth space station to be inhabited by crews , following the Soviet and later Russian Salyut , Almaz , and Mir stations as well as Skylab from the US . The station has been continuously occupied for 7003620100000000000 ♠ 16 years and 357 days since the arrival of Expedition 1 on 2 November 2000 . This is the longest continuous human presence in low Earth orbit , having surpassed the previous record of 7003364400000000000 ♠ 9 years and 357 days held by Mir . The station is serviced by a variety of visiting spacecraft : the Russian Soyuz and Progress , the American Dragon and Cygnus , the Japanese H - II Transfer Vehicle , and formerly the Space Shuttle and the European Automated Transfer Vehicle . It has been visited by astronauts , cosmonauts and space tourists from 17 different nations . </P> <P> After the U.S. Space Shuttle programme ended in 2011 , Soyuz rockets became the only provider of transport for astronauts at the International Space Station , and Dragon became the only provider of bulk cargo return to Earth ( called downmass ) . Soyuz has very limited downmass capability . </P> <P> The ISS programme is a joint project among five participating space agencies : NASA , Roscosmos , JAXA , ESA , and CSA . The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements . The station is divided into two sections , the Russian Orbital Segment ( ROS ) and the United States Orbital Segment ( USOS ) , which is shared by many nations . As of January 2014 , the American portion of ISS is being funded until 2024 . Roscosmos has endorsed the continued operation of ISS through 2024 but has proposed using elements of the Russian Orbital Segment to construct a new Russian space station called OPSEK . </P> <P> On 28 March 2015 , Russian sources announced that Roscosmos and NASA had agreed to collaborate on the development of a replacement for the current ISS . | The International Space Station went into space in | [

Laika , a stray dog from the streets of Moscow , was selected to be the occupant of the Soviet spacecraft Sputnik 2 that was launched into outer space on 3 November 1957 . </P> <P> Little was known about the impact of spaceflight on living creatures at the time of Laika 's mission , and the technology to de-orbit had not yet been developed , so Laika 's survival was never expected . Some scientists believed humans would be unable to survive the launch or the conditions of outer space , so engineers viewed flights by animals as a necessary precursor to human missions . The experiment aimed to prove that a living passenger could survive being launched into orbit and endure a Micro-g environment , paving the way for human spaceflight and providing scientists with some of the first data on how living organisms react to spaceflight environments . </P> <P> Laika died within hours from overheating , possibly caused by a failure of the central R - 7 sustainer to separate from the payload . The true cause and time of her death were not made public until 2002 ; instead , it was widely reported that she died when her oxygen ran out on day six or , as the Soviet government initially claimed , she was euthanised prior to oxygen depletion . </P> <P> On 11 April 2008 , Russian officials unveiled a monument to Laika . A small monument in her honour was built near the military research facility in Moscow that prepared Laika 's flight to space . It portrayed a dog standing on top of a rocket .

Construction had already started on a more sophisticated satellite , but it would not be ready until December ; this satellite would later become Sputnik 3 . </P> <P> Meeting the November deadline meant building a new craft . Khrushchev specifically wanted his engineers to deliver a `` space spectacular '' , a mission that would repeat the triumph of Sputnik 1 , stunning the world with Soviet prowess . Planners settled on an orbital flight with a dog . Soviet rocket engineers had long intended a canine orbit before attempting human spaceflight ; since 1951 , they had lofted 12 dogs into sub-orbital space on ballistic flights , working gradually toward an orbital mission set for some time in 1958 . To satisfy Khrushchev 's demands , they expedited the orbital canine flight for the November launch . </P> <P> According to Russian sources , the official decision to launch Sputnik 2 was made on 10 or 12 October , leaving less than four weeks to design and build the spacecraft . Sputnik 2 , therefore , was something of a rush job , with most elements of the spacecraft being constructed from rough sketches . Aside from the primary mission of sending a living passenger into space , Sputnik 2 also contained instrumentation for measuring solar irradiance and cosmic rays . </P> <P> The craft was equipped with a life - support system consisting of an oxygen generator and devices to avoid oxygen poisoning and to absorb carbon dioxide . A fan , designed to activate whenever the cabin temperature exceeded 15 ° C ( 59 ° F ) , was added to keep the dog cool . Enough food ( in a gelatinous form ) was provided for a seven - day flight , and the dog was fitted with a bag to collect waste . A harness was designed to be fitted to the dog , and there were chains to restrict her movements to standing , sitting , or lying down ; there was no room to turn around in the cabin .

It has been described ( along with the single 's B - side ) as `` the first important blues recordings on the electric guitar '' . Over the years it has been interpreted and recorded by numerous blues , jazz and rock and roll artists . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Original song </Li> <Li> 2 Little Walter version </Li> <Li> 3 Other renditions </Li> <Li> 4 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Original song ( edit ) </H2> <P> T - Bone Walker began performing `` Mean Old World '' when he was with Les Hite and His Orchestra from 1939 to 1940 . After leaving Hite 's band , Walker continued to develop and refine his style on the Los Angeles club circuit . On July 20 , 1942 , he recorded `` Mean Old World '' for Capitol Records . The song was performed in the West Coast blues style , with a small combo of pianist Freddie Slack , bassist Jud DeNaut , and drummer Dave Coleman accompanying Walker on vocal and guitar . `` Mean Old World '' `` showcased T - Bones 's new , and already developed , style , in which he answered his smoky , soulful vocal phrases with deft , stinging , jazz - inflected lead lines on his electric guitar '' . Capitol released the song in November 1945 , with `` I Got a Break , Baby '' , as the third disc in a five 10 - inch record collection `` The History of Jazz , Volume 3 : Then Came Swing '' ( Capitol Criterion CE 18 ) . Capitol later issued it as a single in 1947 ( Capitol 15003 ) . </P> <P> Because of a recording ban , T - Bone Walker did not record again until October 10 , 1944 , for the Rhumboogie label in Chicago . He recorded a variation on `` Mean Old World '' , initially designated `` T - Bone Blues No. 2 '' . When Rhumboogie released it in 1946 , it was retitled `` Mean Old World Blues '' . It did not feature Walker 's guitar as prominently ( the backing group , Marl Young 's Orchestra , had a five - piece horn section ) and some new lyrics were substituted . Walker commented `` those sides were not so hot , not as good as the ones in L.A. later . They were big band numbers , more like what I recorded with Hite '' . However , the opening verses remained the same : </P> <P> This is a mean old world , baby to live in by yourself This is a mean old world , babe to live in by yourself When you ca n't get the woman you love , you know she 's loving someone else </P> <P> This anticipated future versions , in which new lyrics would be added to the familiar opening lines . On December 14 , 1956 , Walker recorded another version for Atlantic Records that was released on the acclaimed 1959 album T - Bone Blues . He is backed by a small combo with Lloyd Glenn on piano , Billy Hadnot on bass , and Oscar Bradley on drums . </P> <H2> Little Walter version ( edit ) </H2> <P> In October 1952 , Little Walter recorded his version of `` Mean Old World '' for Checker Records , a subsidiary of Chess Records . It was recast as a Chicago blues , with Walter 's amplified harmonica prominently featured and several new lyrics substituted . The song was a hit , reaching number six on the Billboard R&B chart , where it remained for six weeks in 1953 . Backing Little Walter are The Aces , with guitarists Louis and Dave Myers and drummer Fred Below . T - Bone Walker 's Capitol version was released before Billboard magazine or a similar service began tracking such releases , so it is difficult to gauge which version was more popular . Little Walter received the sole credit for his recording . </P> <H2> Other renditions ( edit ) </H2> <P> Many blues and other artists have recorded `` Mean Old World '' , including Walter Brown ( 1947 single ) ; Snooks Eaglin ( from his 1959 album New Orleans Street Singer ) ; Sam Cooke ( 1963 Night Beat ) ; James Cotton ( 1967 Late Night Blues ) ; Canned Heat ( 1967 , released 1994 on Uncanned !

The main biological function of a nitrogenous base is to bond nucleic acids together . A nitrogenous base owes its basic properties to the lone pair of electrons of a nitrogen atom . </P> <P> Nitrogenous bases are typically classified as the derivatives of two parent compounds , pyrimidine and purine . They are non-polar and due to their aromaticity , planar . Both pyrimidines and purines resemble pyridine and are thus weak bases and relatively unreactive towards electrophilic aromatic substitution . </P> <H2> Role in nucleic acids ( edit ) </H2> Main article : Nucleobase <P> In the biological sciences , nitrogenous bases are increasingly termed nucleobases because of their role in nucleic acids - their flat shape is particularly important when considering their roles as the building blocks of DNA and RNA . A set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides , which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA . These nitrogenous bases are adenine ( A ) , uracil ( U ) , guanine ( G ) , thymine ( T ) , and cytosine ( C ) . These nitrogenous bases hydrogen bond between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the `` twisted ladder '' or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides . Adenine is always paired with thymine , and guanine is always paired with cytosine . These are known as base pairs . Uracil is only present in RNA , replacing thymine . Pyrimidines include thymine , cytosine , and uracil . They have a single ring structure . Purines include adenine and guanine . They have a double ring structure . </P> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ Nelson , David L. and Michael M Cox ( 2008 ) . Lehninger Principles of Biochemistry , ed. 5 , W.H.

( January 2015 ) </Td> </Tr> </Table> <P> An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain . A fatty acid chain is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond , and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond . </P> <P> Where double bonds are formed , hydrogen atoms are subtracted from the carbon chain . Thus , a saturated fat has no double bonds , has the maximum number of hydrogens bonded to the carbons , and therefore is `` saturated '' with hydrogen atoms . In cellular metabolism , unsaturated fat molecules contain somewhat less energy ( i.e. , fewer calories ) than an equivalent amount of saturated fat . The greater the degree of unsaturation in a fatty acid ( i.e. , the more double bonds in the fatty acid ) the more vulnerable it is to lipid peroxidation ( rancidity ) . Antioxidants can protect unsaturated fat from lipid peroxidation . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Chemistry and nutrition </Li> <Li> 2 Role of dietary fats in insulin resistance </Li> <Li> 3 Membrane composition as a metabolic pacemaker </Li> <Li> 4 See also </Li> <Li> 5 References </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> Chemistry and Nutrition. ( edit ) </H2> Amounts of fat types in selected foods <P> Double bonds may be in either a cis or a trans isomer , depending on the geometry of the double bond . In the cis isomer , hydrogen atoms are on the same side of the double bond ; whereas in the trans isomer , they are on opposite sides of the double bond ( see trans fat ) . Saturated fats are useful in processed foods because saturated fats are less vulnerable to rancidity and usually more solid at room temperature than unsaturated fats . Unsaturated chains have a lower melting point , hence these molecules increase the fluidity of cell membranes . </P> <P> Although both monounsaturated and polyunsaturated fats can replace saturated fat in the diet , trans unsaturated fats should not . Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats helps lower levels of total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in the blood . Trans unsaturated fats are an exception because the double bond stereochemistry predisposes the carbon chains to assume a linear conformation , which conforms to rigid packing as in plaque formation . The geometry of the cis double bond induces a bend in the molecule , thereby precluding rigid formations ( see Trans fat § Chemistry links above for drawings that illustrate this ) . Natural sources of fatty acids ( see above ) are rich in the cis isomer . </P> <P> Although polyunsaturated fats are protective against cardiac arrhythmias , a study of post-menopauseal women with a relatively low fat intake showed that polyunsaturated fat is positively associated with progression of coronary atherosclerosis , whereas monounsaturated fat is not . This probably is an indication of the greater vulnerability of polyunsaturated fats to lipid peroxidation , against which vitamin E has been shown to be protective . </P> <P> Examples of unsaturated fatty acids are palmitoleic acid , oleic acid , myristoleic acid , linoleic acid , and arachidonic acid . Foods containing unsaturated fats include avocado , nuts , and vegetable oils such as canola and olive oils . Meat products contain both saturated and unsaturated fats . </P> <P> Although unsaturated fats are conventionally regarded as ' healthier ' than saturated fats , the United States Food and Drug Administration ( FDA ) recommendation stated that the amount of unsaturated fat consumed should not exceed 30 % of one 's daily caloric intake . Most foods contain both unsaturated and saturated fats . Marketers advertise only one or the other , depending on which one makes up the majority . Thus , various unsaturated fat vegetable oils , such as olive oils , also contain saturated fat . </P> <P> In chemical analysis , fatty acids are separated by gas chromatography of methyl esters ; additionally , a separation of unsaturated isomers is possible by argentation thin - layer chromatography . </P> ( show ) Fat composition in different foods <Ul> <Li> view </Li> <Li> talk </Li> <Li> </Li> </Ul> <Table> <Tr> <Th> Food </Th> <Th> Saturated </Th> <Th> Mono - unsaturated </Th> <Th> Poly - unsaturated </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th colspan="3"> As weight percent ( % ) of total fat </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Th colspan="4"> Cooking oils </Th> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Canola oil </Td> <Td> 08 </Td> <Td> 64 </Td> <Td> 28 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Coconut oil </Td> <Td> 87 </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> 00 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Corn oil </Td> <Td> 13 </Td> <Td> 24 </Td> <Td> 59 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Cottonseed oil </Td> <Td> 27 </Td> <Td> 19 </Td> <Td> 54 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Olive oil </Td> <Td> 14 </Td> <Td> 73 </Td> <Td> 11 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Palm kernel oil </Td> <Td> 86 </Td> <Td> 12 </Td> <Td> 02 </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> Palm oil </Td> <Td> 51 </Td> <Td> 39 </Td> <Td> 10 </Td> </Tr> | Unsaturated fats are comprised of lipids that contain | [

The bank 's formal name , according to section 9 of its charter as passed by Congress , was `` The President , Directors , and Company , of the Bank of the United States . '' </P> <P> A private corporation with public duties , the bank handled all fiscal transactions for the U.S. Government , and was accountable to Congress and the U.S. Treasury . Twenty percent of its capital was owned by the federal government , the bank 's single largest stockholder . Four thousand private investors held 80 % of the bank 's capital , including one thousand Europeans . The bulk of the stocks were held by a few hundred wealthy Americans .

The term distinguished these texts both from those that were termed protocanonical books , which were the books of the Hebrew canon ; and from the apocryphal books , which were those books of Jewish origin that were known sometimes to have been read in church as scripture but which the Council considered not to be canonical . </P> <P> At the same time , the Council of Trent had also promulgated the Vulgate bible as the official Latin version of the Bible for the Roman Catholic Church . Jerome , the translator of most of this version in the early 5th century had done so afresh directly from the Hebrew Bible , rather than from the Greek Septuagint , and had then explicitly rejected all Septuagint books and passages not found in the Hebrew as ' apocryphal ' ; and although he had subsequently translated some of these texts under sufferance , he had maintained throughout that none of these books and additions were canonical , and recorded this opinion in his prologues to each book . The Council therefore needed to establish anew which of the Septuagint Old Testament books , in the editions of the Vulgate that circulated in the 16th century , were in the Bible ; and which were not . </P> <P> This 16th century debate drew on a texts witnessing a counterpart debate in the 4th and 5th centuries ; occasioned by the awareness that the translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek , which the early church used as its standard Old Testament , included several books not recognised in the Jewish canon of the bible as it had since been defined in Rabbinic Judaism . In this debate , which had preceded the dissemination of Jerome 's Vulgate version , the books in the Hebrew bible had been termed ' canonical ' ; the additional books that were recognised by the Christian churches had been termed ' ecclesiastical ' , and those that were considered not to be in the Bible were termed ' apocryphal ' . </P> <P> Forms of the term ' deuterocanonical ' were adopted after the 16th century by the Eastern Orthodox Church to denote canonical books of the Septuagint not in the Hebrew Bible ( a wider selection than that adopted by the Council of Trent ) , and also by the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church to apply to works believed to be of Jewish origin translated in the Old Testament of the Ethiopic Bible ; a wider selection still . </P> <P> Most protestant churches have , since the 16th century accepted only works in the Masoretic Text of the Hebrew bible as canonical books of the Old Testament , and hence classify all deuterocanonical texts ( of whichever definition ) with the Apocrypha . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 In the Roman Catholic Church </Li> <Li> 2 Historical background <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Dead Sea scrolls </Li> <Li> 2.2 Influence of the Septuagint | Seven books were removed from the Bible in | [

The battles were fought on April 19 , 1775 in Middlesex County , Province of Massachusetts Bay , within the towns of Lexington , Concord , Lincoln , Menotomy ( present - day Arlington ) , and Cambridge . They marked the outbreak of armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in America . </P> <P> In late 1774 , Colonial leaders adopted the Suffolk Resolves in resistance to the alterations made to the Massachusetts colonial government by the British parliament following the Boston Tea Party . The colonial assembly responded by forming a Patriot provisional government known as the Massachusetts Provincial Congress and calling for local militias to train for possible hostilities . The Colonial government exercised effective control of the colony outside of British - controlled Boston . In response , the British government in February 1775 declared Massachusetts to be in a state of rebellion . </P> <P> About 700 British Army regulars in Boston , under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith , were given secret orders to capture and destroy Colonial military supplies reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord . Through effective intelligence gathering , Patriot leaders had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations . On the night before the battle , warning of the British expedition had been rapidly sent from Boston to militias in the area by several riders , including Paul Revere and Samuel Prescott , with information about British plans . The initial mode of the Army 's arrival by water was signaled from the Old North Church in Boston to Charlestown using lanterns to communicate `` one if by land , two if by sea '' . </P> <P> The first shots were fired just as the sun was rising at Lexington . Eight militiamen were killed , including Ensign Robert Munroe , their third in command . The British suffered only one casualty . The militia were outnumbered and fell back , and the regulars proceeded on to Concord , where they broke apart into companies to search for the supplies . At the North Bridge in Concord , approximately 400 militiamen engaged 100 regulars from three companies of the King 's troops at about 11 : 00 am , resulting in casualties on both sides . The outnumbered regulars fell back from the bridge and rejoined the main body of British forces in Concord . </P> <P> The British forces began their return march to Boston after completing their search for military supplies , and more militiamen continued to arrive from neighboring towns . Gunfire erupted again between the two sides and continued throughout the day as the regulars marched back towards Boston . Upon returning to Lexington , Lt. Col. Smith 's expedition was rescued by reinforcements under Brigadier General Hugh Percy , a future duke of Northumberland known as Earl Percy . The combined force of about 1,700 men marched back to Boston under heavy fire in a tactical withdrawal and eventually reached the safety of Charlestown . The accumulated militias then blockaded the narrow land accesses to Charlestown and Boston , starting the Siege of Boston . </P> <P> Ralph Waldo Emerson describes the first shot fired | The Battle of Lexington and Concord occurred | [

Since Dominion Day coincided with the enforcement of the Chinese Immigration Act , Chinese - Canadians at the time referred to the anniversary of Confederation as `` Humiliation Day '' and refused to take any part in the celebration . </P> <P> Because Canada became a signatory of the United Nations Charter of Human Rights following World War II and the Chinese Immigration Act was inconsistent with the UN charter , the Canadian Parliament repealed the act on May 14 , 1947 ( following the proclamation of the Canadian Citizenship Act 1946 on January 1 , 1947 ) . However , independent Chinese immigration to Canada came only after the liberalization of Canadian immigration policy in 1967 . </P> <P> On June 22 , 2006 , former Prime Minister Stephen Harper apologized in the House of Commons . The first phrase of the apology was spoken in Cantonese Chinese , the most frequently spoken Chinese language among Chinese immigrants . He announced that the survivors or their spouses will be paid approximately $20,000 CAD in compensation for the head tax . </P> <P> On May 15 , 2014 , former Premier of British Columbia Christy Clark apologized in the Legislative Assembly . The apology motion was unanimously passed and aims to make amends for historic wrongs . Unlike the federal apology , no individual compensation was provided . However , $1 million was promised to be put into a legacy fund which would help legacy initiatives . The formal apology went through a three - month consultation period with various parties to help ensure that the apology was done properly . </P> <P> The act and its legacy have been the subject of at least three documentary films : Kenda Gee and Tom Radford 's Lost Years : A People 's Struggle for Justice ( 2011 - 2012 ) , William Dere and Malcolm Guy 's Moving the Mountain ( 1993 ) and Karen Cho 's In the Shadow of Gold Mountain ( 2004 ) . </P> <H2> See also ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Lost Years : A People 's Struggle for Justice </Li> <Li> Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 </Li> <Li> Head tax ( Canada ) </Li> <Li> Chinese Exclusion Act ( United States ) </Li> <Li> Immigration to Canada </Li> <Li> White Australia policy </Li> </Ul> <H2> References ( edit ) </H2> <Ol> <Li> Jump up ^ http://www2.parl.gc.ca/HousePublications/Publication.aspx?DocId=1659497&Language=E&Mode=1&Parl=38&Ses=1 chapter - url = missing title ( help ) .

The Declaration was directly influenced by Thomas Jefferson , working with General Lafayette , who introduced it . Influenced also by the doctrine of `` natural right '' , the rights of man are held to be universal : valid at all times and in every place , pertaining to human nature itself . It became the basis for a nation of free individuals protected equally by the law . It is included in the beginning of the constitutions of both the Fourth French Republic ( 1946 ) and Fifth Republic ( 1958 ) and is still current . Inspired by the Enlightenment philosophers , the Declaration was a core statement of the values of the French Revolution and had a major impact on the development of freedom and democracy in Europe and worldwide . </P> <P> The Declaration , together with Magna Carta , the English Bill of Rights , and the United States Bill of Rights , inspired in large part the 1948 United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History </Li> <Li> 2 Philosophical and theoretical context </Li> <Li> 3 Substance <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Articles </Li> <Li> 3.2 Active and passive citizenship </Li> <Li> 3.3 Women 's rights </Li> <Li> 3.4 Slavery </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 Legacy <Ul> <Li> 4.1 Constitution of the French Fifth Republic </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 5 See also <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Other early declarations of rights </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Notes </Li> <Li> 7 References </Li> <Li> 8 Further reading </Li> <Li> 9 External links </Li> </Ul> <P> </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> The content of the document emerged largely from the ideals of the Enlightenment . The key drafts were prepared by Lafayette , working at times with his close friend Thomas Jefferson . In August 1789 , Honoré Mirabeau played a central role in conceptualizing and drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen . </P> <P> The last article of the Declaration of the Rights of Man and the Citizen was adopted on 27 August 1789 by the National Constituent Assembly , during the period of the French Revolution , as the first step toward writing a constitution for France . Inspired by the Enlightenment , the original version of the Declaration was discussed by the representatives on the basis of a 24 article draft proposed by the sixth bureau , led by Jérôme Champion de Cicé . The draft was later modified during the debates . A second and lengthier declaration , known as the Declaration of the Rights of Man and Citizen of 1793 , was written in 1793 but never formally adopted . </P> <H2> Philosophical and theoretical context ( edit ) </H2> <P> The concepts in the Declaration come from the philosophical and political duties of the Enlightenment , such as individualism , the social contract as theorized by the Genevan philosopher Rousseau , and the separation of powers espoused by the Baron de Montesquieu . As can be seen in the texts , the French declaration was heavily influenced by the political philosophy of the Enlightenment and principles of human rights as was the U.S. Declaration of Independence which preceded it ( 4 July 1776 ) . </P> <P> The declaration is in the spirit of `` secular natural law '' , which does not base itself on religious doctrine or authority , in contrast with traditional natural law theory , which does . </P> <P> The declaration defines a single set of individual and collective rights for all men . Influenced by the doctrine of natural rights , these rights are held to be universal and valid in all times and places . For example , `` Men are born and remain free and equal in rights . Social distinctions may be founded only upon the general good . '' They have certain natural rights to property , to liberty , and to life . According to this theory , the role of government is to recognize and secure these rights . Furthermore , government should be carried on by elected representatives . </P> <P> At the time of writing , the rights contained in the declaration were only awarded to men . Furthermore , the declaration was a statement of vision rather than reality . The declaration was not deeply rooted in either the practice of the West or even France at the time . The declaration emerged in the late 18th century out of war and revolution . It encountered opposition as democracy and individual rights were frequently regarded as synonymous with anarchy and subversion . The declaration embodies ideals and aspirations towards which France pledged to struggle in the future . </P> <H2> Substance ( edit ) </H2> <P> The Declaration is introduced by a preamble describing the fundamental characteristics of the rights which are qualified as being `` natural , unalienable and sacred | The French Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen was written by | [

Williams High School , a black head coach , Herman Boone , is hired to lead the school 's football team . Boone is assigned to the coaching team under current coach Bill Yoast , nominated for the Virginia High School Hall of Fame . In an attempt to placate rising racial tensions and the fact that all other high schools are `` white '' only , Boone is assigned the head coach job . He refuses believing it is unfair to Yoast , but relents after seeing what it means to the black community . Yoast is then offered an assistant coach 's job by the school board and initially refuses , but reconsiders after the white players pledge to boycott the team if he does not participate . Dismayed at the prospect of the students losing their chances at scholarships , Yoast changes his mind and takes up the position of defensive coordinator under Boone . </P> <P> The black students have a meeting in the gymnasium in auditioning to play for the team until Boone arrives , but the meeting turns into a fiasco when Yoast and white students interrupt . On August 15 , 1971 , the players gather and journey to Gettysburg College , where their training camp takes place . As their days of training camp progress , black and white football team members frequently clash in racially motivated conflicts , including some between captains Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell . But after forceful coaching and rigorous athletic training by Boone , which includes an early morning run to the Gettysburg cemetery , and a motivational speech , the team achieves racial harmony and success . After returning from football camp , Boone is told by a member of the school board that if he loses even a single game , he will be dismissed . Subsequently , the Titans go through the season undefeated while battling racial prejudice , before slowly gaining support from the community . Gerry even has his best friend Ray removed from the team because of his racism , following a game where he intentionally missed a block which consequently led to the near - season - ending injury of starting quarterback Jerry `` Rev '' Harris . </P> <P> Just before the state semi-finals , Yoast is told by the chairman of the school board that he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame after the Titans lose one game , implying he wants Boone to be dismissed over his race . During the game , it becomes apparent that the referees are biased against the Titans . Upon seeing the chairman and other board members in the audience looking on with satisfaction , Yoast realizes they 've rigged the game and warns the head official that he will go to the press and expose the scandal unless the game is officiated fairly . The Titans nonetheless win and advance to the state championship , but Yoast is told by the chairman that his actions have resulted in his loss of candidacy for Hall of Fame induction . </P> <P> While celebrating the victory , Bertier is severely injured in a car accident with a truck after driving through an intersection . Although Bertier is unable to play due to being paralyzed from the waist down , the team goes on to win the state championship . Bertier would remain a paraplegic for the rest of his life . Ten years later , Bertier dies in another automobile accident caused by a drunk driver , after winning the gold medal in shot put in the Paralympic Games . Coaches and other former teammates reunite to attend his funeral . </P> <P> In the epilogue , descriptions show the players and coaches activities after the events in 1971 . </P> <H2> Cast ( edit ) </H2> <Ul> <Li> Denzel Washington as Coach Herman Boone </Li> <Li> Will Patton as assistant coach Bill Yoast </Li> <Li> Wood Harris as DE Julius Campbell </Li> <Li> Ryan Hurst as LB Gerry Bertier </Li> <Li> Donald Faison as RB / CB Petey Jones </Li> <Li> Craig Kirkwood as QB Jerry `` Rev '' Harris </Li> <Li> Ethan Suplee as OL Louie Lastik </Li> <Li> Kip Pardue as QB Ronnie `` | The Remember the Titans camp took place at | [
