The archipelago consists of the main island , Isla Grande de Tierra del Fuego , with an area of 48,100 km ( 18,572 sq mi ) , and a group of many islands , including Cape Horn and Diego Ramírez Islands . Tierra del Fuego is divided between Chile and Argentina , with the latter controlling the eastern half of the main island and the former the western half plus the islands south of Beagle Channel . The southernmost extent of the archipelago is at about latitude 55 S . </P> <P> The earliest known human settlement in Tierra del Fuego dates to around 8,000 B.C. Europeans first explored the islands during Ferdinand Magellan 's expedition of 1520 ; Tierra del Fuego and similar namings stem from sightings of the many bonfires that the natives built . Settlement by those of European descent and the great displacement of the native populations did not begin until the second half of the 19th century , at the height of the Patagonian sheep farming boom and of the local gold rush . Today , petroleum extraction dominates economic activity in the north of Tierra del Fuego , while tourism , manufacturing , and Antarctic logistics are important in the south . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 History <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Prehistory and European exploration </Li> <Li> 1.2 European colonization and extinction of Native Americans ( 1860 | Tierra del Fuego is located | [

In 1968 , the Lakers acquired four - time NBA Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Wilt Chamberlain to play center , and after losing in the Finals in 1969 and 1970 , they won their sixth NBA title -- and first in Los Angeles -- in 1972 , led by new head coach Bill Sharman . After the retirement of West and Chamberlain , the team acquired another center , Kareem Abdul - Jabbar , who had won multiple MVP awards , but was unable to make the Finals in the late 1970s . The 1980s Lakers were nicknamed `` Showtime '' due to their Magic Johnson - led fast break - offense , and won five championships in a 9 - year span , including their first ever Finals championship against the Celtics in 1985 . This team featured Hall of Famers in Johnson , Abdul - Jabbar , and James Worthy , and a Hall of Fame coach , Pat Riley . After Abdul - Jabbar and Johnson 's retirement , the team struggled in the early 1990s before acquiring Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in 1996 . Led by O'Neal , Bryant , and another Hall of Fame coach , Phil Jackson , Los Angeles won three consecutive titles between 2000 to 2002 , securing the franchise its second `` three - peat '' . After losing both the 2004 and 2008 NBA Finals , the Lakers won two more championships by defeating the Orlando Magic in 2009 and Boston in 2010 . </P> <P> The Lakers hold the record for NBA 's longest winning streak , 33 straight games , set during the 1971 -- 72 season . 21 Hall of Famers have played for Los Angeles , while four have coached the team .

Muslim engagement rings are typically worn on the right finger by men , and the left finger by women . </P> <P> Rings are not traditional in an Indian wedding . However , in modern society it is becoming a practice to wear rings for engagements and not for actual marriage .

Box plot of data from the Michelson -- Morley experiment displaying four outliers in the middle column , as well as one outlier in the first column . <P> In statistics , an outlier is an observation point that is distant from other observations . An outlier may be due to variability in the measurement or it may indicate experimental error ; the latter are sometimes excluded from the data set . An outlier can cause serious problems in statistical analyses . </P> <P> Outliers can occur by chance in any distribution , but they often indicate either measurement error or that the population has a heavy - tailed distribution . In the former case one wishes to discard them or use statistics that are robust to outliers , while in the latter case they indicate that the distribution has high skewness and that one should be very cautious in using tools or intuitions that assume a normal distribution . A frequent cause of outliers is a mixture of two distributions , which may be two distinct sub-populations , or may indicate ' correct trial ' versus ' measurement error ' ; this is modeled by a mixture model . </P> <P> In most larger samplings of data , some data points will be further away from the sample mean than what is deemed reasonable . This can be due to incidental systematic error or flaws in the theory that generated an assumed family of probability distributions , or it may be that some observations are far from the center of the data . Outlier points can therefore indicate faulty data , erroneous procedures , or areas where a certain theory might not be valid . However , in large samples , a small number of outliers is to be expected ( and not due to any anomalous condition ) . </P> <P> Outliers , being the most extreme observations , may include the sample maximum or sample minimum , or both , depending on whether they are extremely high or low . However , the sample maximum and minimum are not always outliers because they may not be unusually far from other observations . </P> <P> Naive interpretation of statistics derived from data sets that include outliers may be misleading . For example , if one is calculating the average temperature of 10 objects in a room , and nine of them are between 20 and 25 degrees Celsius , but an oven is at 175 ° C , the median of the data will be between 20 and 25 ° C but the mean temperature will be between 35.5 and 40 ° C. In this case , the median better reflects the temperature of a randomly sampled object ( but not the temperature in the room ) than the mean ; naively interpreting the mean as `` | The outliers in a data set are | [

She 's Tom 's view of a woman . He does n't see her complexity and the consequence for him is heartbreak . In Tom 's eyes , Summer is perfection , but perfection has no depth . Summer 's not a girl , she 's a phase . '' Gordon - Levitt explained that he was drawn to the role of Tom because of his relatability to the character . `` I 've had my heart broken before . Truly , truly broken . But when I look back at me in my heartbroken phase , it 's pretty hilarious , because it felt so much more extreme than it really was . One of the things I love about 500 Days of Summer is that it does n't make light of what we go through in romances , but it is honest about it and shows it for what it is , which is often profoundly funny '' . </P> <H3> Filming locations ( edit ) </H3> The Bradbury Building in Los Angeles was a filming location . <P> David Ng of the Los Angeles Times describes architecture as a star of the film . Tom is seen reading Alain de Botton 's The Architecture of Happiness . The film was originally set in San Francisco but was later moved to Los Angeles and the script rewritten to make better use of the location . Buildings used include the Los Angeles Music Center ( which includes the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion ) and the towers of California Plaza . The older Fine Arts Building is featured in the film , in a scene where Tom shows it to Summer and mentions its designers , Walker and Eisen , two of his favorite architects , although he incorrectly gives the partners ' names as `` Walker and Eisner . '' </P> <P> Christopher Hawthorne of the Los Angeles Times describes the film as having `` finely honed sense of taste '' to include the Bradbury Building where Tom goes for his job interview . </P> <H3> Marketing ( edit ) </H3> <P> To help promote the film , Gordon - Levitt and Deschanel starred in the debut episode of Microsoft Zune and Mean Magazine 's `` Cinemash '' series . In the episode , they `` mash '' the characters from the film Sid and Nancy with story elements from 500 Days of Summer . </P> <P> Marc Webb created a music video as a companion piece to the film , titled `` The Bank Heist '' . It features Deschanel and Gordon - Levitt dancing to `` Why Do You Let Me Stay Here ? '' , a song by Deschanel 's folk group She & Him .

Methane produces a larger greenhouse effect per volume as compared to carbon dioxide , but it exists in much lower concentrations and is more short - lived than carbon dioxide , making carbon dioxide the more important greenhouse gas of the two . </P> <P> Carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere primarily through photosynthesis and enters the terrestrial and oceanic biospheres . Carbon dioxide also dissolves directly from the atmosphere into bodies of water ( ocean , lakes , etc . ) , as well as dissolving in precipitation as raindrops fall through the atmosphere . When dissolved in water , carbon dioxide reacts with water molecules and forms carbonic acid , which contributes to ocean acidity . It can then be absorbed by rocks through weathering . It also can acidify other surfaces it touches or be washed into the ocean . </P> <P> Human activities over the past two centuries have significantly increased the amount of carbon in the atmosphere , mainly in the form of carbon dioxide , both by modifying ecosystems ' ability to extract carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and by emitting it directly , e.g. , by burning fossil fuels and manufacturing concrete . </P> <H3> Terrestrial biosphere ( edit ) </H3> Main article : Terrestrial biological carbon cycle A portable soil respiration system measuring soil CO flux <P> The terrestrial biosphere includes the organic carbon in all land - living organisms , both alive and dead , as well as carbon stored in soils . About 500 gigatons of carbon are stored above ground in plants and other living organisms , while soil holds approximately 1,500 gigatons of carbon . Most carbon in the terrestrial biosphere is organic carbon , while about a third of soil carbon is stored in inorganic forms , such as calcium carbonate . Organic carbon is a major component of all organisms living on earth . Autotrophs extract it from the air in the form of carbon dioxide , converting it into organic carbon , while heterotrophs receive carbon by consuming other organisms . </P> <P> Because carbon uptake in the terrestrial biosphere is dependent on biotic factors , it follows a diurnal and seasonal cycle . In CO measurements , this feature is apparent in the Keeling curve . It is strongest in the northern hemisphere , because this hemisphere has more land mass than the southern hemisphere and thus more room for ecosystems to absorb and emit carbon . </P> <P> Carbon leaves the terrestrial biosphere in several ways and on different time scales . The combustion or respiration of organic carbon releases it rapidly into the atmosphere . It can also be exported into the ocean through rivers or remain sequestered in soils in the form of inert carbon .

Contrariwise , Kaufman was less happy with the novel 's political stance ; he felt that it had been `` written by a crude fascist '' and that `` the man 's hatred of government was insane '' . He also felt that that element of the script needed to be severely toned down , but , he later said , `` Clint did n't , and it was his film '' . Kaufman was later fired by Eastwood , who took over the film 's direction himself . </P> <P> Cinematographer Bruce Surtees , James Fargo , and Fritz Manes scouted for locations and eventually found sites in Utah , Arizona , Wyoming , and Oroville , California even before they saw the final script . Kaufman cast Chief Dan George , who had been nominated for an Academy Award for Supporting Actor in Little Big Man , as the old Cherokee Lone Watie . Sondra Locke , also a previous Academy Award nominee , was cast by Eastwood against Kaufman 's wishes as the granddaughter of the old settler woman , Laura Lee . This marked the beginning of a close relationship between Eastwood and Locke that would last six films and the beginning of a romance that would last into the late 1980s . Ferris Webster was hired as the film 's editor and Jerry Fielding as composer . </P> <P> Principal photography began on October 6 , 1975 in Lake Powell . A rift between Eastwood and Kaufman developed during the filming . Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail , which caused disagreements with Eastwood , not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman 's part in regards to their emerging relationship . One evening , Kaufman insisted on finding a beer can as a prop to be used in a scene , but while he was absent , Eastwood ordered Surtees to quickly shoot the scene as light was fading and then drove away , leaving before Kaufman had returned . Soon after , filming moved to Kanab , Utah . On October 24 , 1975 , Kaufman was fired at Eastwood 's command by producer Bob Daley . The sacking caused an outrage amongst the Directors Guild of America and other important Hollywood executives , since the director had already worked hard on the film , including completing all of the pre-production . Pressure mounted on Warner Bros. and Eastwood to back down , but their refusal to do so resulted in a fine , reported to be around $60,000 for the violation . This resulted in the Director 's Guild passing new legislation , known as ' the Eastwood Rule ' , which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then becoming the director himself . From then on , the film was directed by Eastwood himself with Daley second - in - command , but with Kaufman | The 1976 Western film "The Outlaw Josey Wales" starring Clint Eastwood was filmed at | [

Extinction may occur a long time after the events that set it in motion , a phenomenon known as extinction debt . </P> <P> Assessing the relative importance of genetic factors compared to environmental ones as the causes of extinction has been compared to the debate on nature and nurture . The question of whether more extinctions in the fossil record have been caused by evolution or by catastrophe is a subject of discussion ; Mark Newman , the author of Modeling Extinction , argues for a mathematical model that falls between the two positions . By contrast , conservation biology uses the extinction vortex model to classify extinctions by cause . When concerns about human extinction have been raised , for example in Sir Martin Rees ' 2003 book Our Final Hour , those concerns lie with the effects of climate change or technological disaster . </P> <P> Currently , environmental groups and some governments are concerned with the extinction of species caused by humanity , and they try to prevent further extinctions through a variety of conservation programs . Humans can cause extinction of a species through overharvesting , pollution , habitat destruction , introduction of invasive species ( such as new predators and food competitors ) , overhunting , and other influences . Explosive , unsustainable human population growth is an essential cause of the extinction crisis . According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) , 784 extinctions have been recorded since the year 1500 , the arbitrary date selected to define `` recent '' extinctions , up to the year 2004 ; with many more likely to have gone unnoticed . Several species have also been listed as extinct since 2004 . </P> <H3> Genetics and demographic phenomena ( edit ) </H3> See also : Extinction vortex , Genetic erosion , and Mutational meltdown <P> If adaptation increasing population fitness is slower than environmental degradation plus the accumulation of slightly deleterious mutations , then a population will go extinct . Smaller populations have fewer beneficial mutations entering the population each generation , slowing adaptation . It is also easier for slightly deleterious mutations to fix in small populations ; the resulting positive feedback loop between small population size and low fitness can cause mutational meltdown . </P> <P> Limited geographic range is the most important determinant of genus extinction at background rates but becomes increasingly irrelevant as mass extinction arises . Limited geographic range is a cause both of small population size and of greater vulnerability to local environmental catastrophes . </P> <P> Extinction rates can be affected not just by population size , but by any factor that affects evolvability , including balancing selection , cryptic genetic variation , phenotypic plasticity , and robustness .

This design was invented by Hugo Pick , of Albert Pick & Co. , who was awarded two US patents : design patent 44,616 ( September 2 , 1913 ) and patent 1,107,700 ( August 18 , 1914 ) -- though the design patent was invalidated -- and which was commercialized as Nonik ( for `` no - nick '' ) . The design was preceded by many other bulged glass designs , dating to the mid-19th century , which differed in having a severe bulge and different purposes ( a stop for a jar cover , or placement in a soda glass holder ) , rather than the shallow bulge of this design . The original motivation for the glass was to reduce breakage when stacking ( 40 % greater crushing strength and curved surface where rim touches ) , reduce breakage when tipped over ( due to the bulge protecting the rim from impact ) , improve grip , and facilitate cleaning ( due to shallow curves , compared to more severe curves ) .

The first European settlements were made in 1634 , when the English arrived in significant numbers and created a permanent colony . Maryland was notable for having been established with religious freedom for Roman Catholics . Like other colonies of the Chesapeake Bay , its economy was based on tobacco as a commodity crop , cultivated primarily by African slave labor , although many young people came from Britain as indentured servants in the early years . </P> <P> In 1778 , during the American Revolutionary War ( 1775 -- 1783 ) , Maryland became the seventh state admitted to the United States by ratification of the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union . After the war , numerous planters freed their slaves as the economy changed . Baltimore grew to become one of the largest cities on the eastern seaboard , and a major economic force in the country . Although Maryland was still a slave state in the 1860s , by that time nearly half the African American population was already free , due mostly to manumissions after the American Revolution . Maryland was among the four divided border states that officially remained in the Union during the American Civil War ( 1861 -- 1865 ) , although large numbers of Marylanders `` went south '' to fight for the rebelling / seceded Confederacy . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Pre-colonial history </Li> <Li> 2 Early European exploration </Li> <Li> 3 Colonial Maryland <Ul> <Li> 3.1 City planning </Li> <Li> 3.2 Mason -- Dixon Line </Li> <Li> 3.3 Horse racing and gentry values </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 4 The Revolutionary period </Li> <Li> 5 Maryland , 1789 -- 1849 <Ul> <Li> 5.1 Quasi-war with France </Li> <Li> 5.2 The War of 1812 </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 6 Economic development <Ul> <Li> 6.1 Transportation initiatives </Li> <Li> 6.2 Industrial Revolution </Li> <Li> 6.3 Educational institutions </Li> <Li> 6.4 Immigration and religion </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 7 Maryland in the Civil War <Ul> <Li> 7.1 Maryland 's mixed sympathies </Li> <Li> 7.2 The war on Maryland soil </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 8 1865 -- 1920 <Ul> <Li> 8.1 Post-Civil War political developments </Li> <Li> 8.2 Progressive era reforms </Li> <Li> 8.3 Great Baltimore Fire </Li> <Li> 8.4 The World War I era </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 9 Maryland | The colony of Maryland was formed and first settled by | [

Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival , it takes place annually in Edinburgh , Scotland , in the month of August . </P> <P> It is an open access ( or `` unjuried '' ) performing arts festival , meaning there is no selection committee , and anyone may participate , with any type of performance . The official Fringe Programme categorises shows into sections for theatre , comedy , dance , physical theatre , circus , cabaret , children 's shows , musicals , opera , music , spoken word , exhibitions and events . Comedy is the largest section and the one that in modern times has the highest public profile , due in part to the Edinburgh Comedy Awards . </P> <P> The Festival is supported by the Festival Fringe Society , which publishes the programme , sells tickets to all events from a central physical box office and website , and offers year - round advice and support to performers . The Society 's permanent location is at the Fringe Shop on the Royal Mile , and in August they also manage Fringe Central , a separate collection of spaces in Appleton Tower and other University of Edinburgh buildings , dedicated to providing support for Fringe participants during their time at the festival . </P> <P> The Fringe board of directors is drawn from members of the Festival Fringe Society , who are often Fringe participants themselves -- performers or administrators . Elections are held once a year , in August , and Board members serve a term of four years . The Board appoints the Fringe Chief Executive ( formerly known as the Fringe Administrator or Director ) , currently Shona McCarthy who assumed the role in March 2016 .

The segment for the years 1946 to 1964 is highlighted in red , with birth rates peaking in 1949 and dropping steadily around 1958 reaching pre-war depression era levels in 1963 . The drop in 1970 was due to excluding births to nonresidents of the United States . <P> The phrase baby boom refers to a noticeable increase in the birth rate . The post-war population increase was described as a `` boom '' by various newspaper reporters , including Sylvia F. Porter in a column for the May 4 , 1951 , edition of the New York Post , based on the increase in the population of the U.S. of 2,357,000 in 1950 . According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the first recorded use of `` baby boomer '' is from 1970 in an article in The Washington Post . Various authors have delimited the baby boom period differently . Landon Jones , in his book Great Expectations : America and the Baby Boom Generation ( 1980 ) , defined the span of the baby - boom generation as extending from 1943 through 1960 , when annual births increased over 4,000,000 . Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe , well known for their generational theory , define the social generation of Boomers as that cohort born from 1943 to 1960 , who were too young to have any personal memory of World War II , but old enough to remember the postwar American High . </P> <P> In the U.S. , the generation can be segmented into two broadly defined cohorts : The Leading - Edge Baby Boomers are individuals born between 1946 and 1955 , those who came of age during the Vietnam War era . This group represents slightly more than half of the generation , or roughly 38,002,000 people of all races . The other half of the generation was born between 1956 and 1964 . Called Late Boomers , or Trailing - Edge Boomers , this second cohort includes about 37,818,000 individuals , according to Live Births by Age and Mother and Race , 1933 -- 98 , published by the Center for Disease Control 's National Center for Health Statistics . </P> <P> An ongoing battle for `` generational ownership '' has motivated a handful of marketing mavens and cultural commentators to coin and / or promote | The term "baby boomer" was coined by | [

His only companion is his unloved , but loyal dog , Max . From his cave , the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville . Continuously annoyed , he decides to devise a wicked scheme by stealing their presents , trees , and food for their Christmas feast . He crudely disguises himself as Santa Claus , and forces Max , disguised as a reindeer , to drag a sleigh down the mountain towards Whoville . Once at Whoville , the Grinch slides down the chimney of one house and steals all of the Whos ' Christmas presents , the Christmas tree , and the log for their fire .

The Board , composed of scouting experts and team executives , makes a prediction as to the likely round in which a player would be drafted . This information , which has proven to be fairly accurate , can help college players determine whether to enter the draft or to continue playing and improving at the college level . There are also many famous reporting scouts , such as Mel Kiper Jr . </P> <H3> NFL scouting Combine ( edit ) </H3> Main article : NFL Scouting Combine <P> The NFL Scouting Combine is a six - day assessment of skills occurring every year in late February or early March in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis , Indiana . College football players perform physical and mental tests in front of NFL coaches , general managers , and scouts . With increasing interest in the NFL draft , the scouting combine has grown in scope and significance , allowing personnel directors to evaluate upcoming prospects in a standardized setting . Its origins have evolved from the National , BLESTO , and Quadra Scouting services in 1977 to the media frenzy it has become today . Athletes attend by invitation only . Implications of one 's performance during the Combine can affect perception , draft status , salary , and ultimately his career . The draft has popularized the term `` Workout Warrior '' ( sometimes known as a `` Workout Wonder '' ) , describing an athlete who , based on superior measurables such as size , speed , and strength , has increased his `` draft stock '' despite having a possibly average or subpar college career . </P> <H3> Pro day ( edit ) </H3> <P> Each university has a Pro Day , during which the NCAA allows NFL scouts to visit the school and watch players participate in NFL Combine events together . ( Some smaller universities join with nearby schools . ) Essentially job fairs for prospective NFL players , Pro Days are held under the belief that players feel more comfortable at their own campus than they do at the Combine , which in turn leads to better performances .

Japan 's Top League was a showcase for Japanese rugby , and there was excitement about Japan 's entry into the RWC .

The strengths of a South African bid would be that it is in the same time zone as Europe , the wealthiest television market from a rugby perspective , that South Africa were the current World Cup holders , that they had successfully hosted the 1995 Rugby World Cup , won the 2007 Rugby World Cup and that they were in the process of building large new stadiums for the then - upcoming 2010 FIFA World Cup . </P> <H2> Venues ( edit ) </H2> <P> After England were appointed tournament hosts on 28 July 2009 , the proposed stadia for the tournament were revealed .

Twelve of the stadia were located in England , while the Millennium Stadium located in Wales was also to be used . In 2011 , the IRB approved the use of the Millennium Stadium , despite being outside of the host country , due to its capacity and strategic location . Of the thirteen venues , two were dedicated rugby union grounds ( Kingsholm Stadium and Sandy Park ) , two were national rugby stadia ( Twickenham and the Millennium Stadium ) , two were multi-purpose stadia ( Wembley Stadium and Olympic Stadium ) , and the remainder were association football grounds . </P> <P> Proposed venues that did not make the final selection were the Stadium of Light in Sunderland , Coventry 's Ricoh Arena , St Mary 's Stadium in Southampton , Pride Park Stadium in Derby , Anfield in Liverpool and Bristol 's Ashton Gate .

The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation . </P> <P> One example of deposition is the process by which , in sub-freezing air , water vapor changes directly to ice without first becoming a liquid . This is how snow forms in clouds , as well as how frost and hoar frost form on the ground or other surfaces . Another example is when frost forms on a leaf . For deposition to occur , thermal energy must be removed from a gas . When the air becomes cold enough , water vapor in the air surrounding the leaf loses enough thermal energy to change into a solid . Even though the air temperature may be below the dew point , the water vapor may not be able to condense spontaneously if there is no way to remove the latent heat .

Neutron sources ensure a constant minimal population of neutrons in the reactor core , sufficient for a smooth startup . Without them , the reactor could suffer fast power excursions during startup from state with too few self - generated neutrons ( new core or after extended shutdown ) . </P> <P> The startup sources are typically inserted in regularly spaced positions inside the reactor core , in place of some of the fuel rods . </P> <P> The sources are important for safe reactor startup . The spontaneous fission and cosmic rays serve as weak neutron sources , but these are too weak for the reactor instrumentation to detect ; relying on them could lead to a `` blind '' start , which is an unsafe condition . The sources are therefore positioned so the neutron flux they produce is always detectable by the reactor monitoring instruments . When the reactor is in shutdown state , the neutron sources serve to provide signals for neutron detectors monitoring the reactor , to ensure they are operable . The equilibrium level of neutron flux in a subcritical reactor is dependent on the neutron source strength ; a certain minimum level of source activity therefore has to be ensured in order to maintain control over the reactor when in strongly subcritical state , namely during startups . </P> <P> The sources can be of two types : </P> <Ul> <Li> Primary sources , used for startup of a fresh reactor core ; conventional neutron sources are used . The primary sources are removed from the reactor after the first fuel campaign , usually after few months , as neutron capture resulting from the thermal neutron flux in an operating reactor changes the composition of the isotopes used , and thus reduces their useful lifetime as neutron sources . <Ul> <Li> Californium - 252 ( spontaneous fission ) </Li> <Li> Plutonium - 238 & beryllium , ( α , n ) reaction </Li> <Li> americium - 241 & beryllium , ( α , n ) reaction </Li> <Li> polonium - 210 & beryllium , ( α , n ) reaction </Li> <Li> radium - 226 & beryllium , ( α , n ) reaction </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <P> When plutonium - 238 / beryllium primary sources are utilized , | In nuclear fission, the neutrons come from a | [

Full - time employment often comes with benefits that are not typically offered to part - time , temporary , or flexible workers , such as annual leave , sickleave , and health insurance . Part - time jobs are mistakenly thought by some to not be careers . However , legislation exists to stop employers from discriminating against part - time workers so this should not be a factor when making decisions on career advancement . They generally pay more than part - time jobs per hour , and this is similarly discriminatory if the pay decision is based on part - time status as a primary factor . The Fair Labor Standards Act ( FLSA ) does not define full - time employment or part - time employment . This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer ( US Department of Labor ) . The definition by employer can vary and is generally published in a company 's Employee Handbook . Companies commonly require from 35 to 40 hours per week to be defined as full - time and therefore eligible for benefits . </P> <P> Full - Time status varies between company and is often based on the shift the employee must work during each work week . The `` standard '' work week consists of five eight - hour days , commonly served between 9 : 00 AM to 5 : 00 PM or 10 : 00 AM to 6 : 00 PM totaling 40 hours . While a four - day week generally consists of four ten - hour days ; it may also consist of as little as nine hours for a total of a 36 - hour work week . Twelve - hour shifts are often three days per week , unless the company has the intention of paying out the employee overtime . Overtime is legally paid out anytime an employee works more than 40 hours per week . The legal minimum for overtime starts at Base Pay + One - Half . The increased payout is considered to compensate slightly for the increased fatigue which a person experiences on such long shifts . Shifts can also be very irregular , as in retail , but are still full - time if the required number of hours is reached . There are some situations where a person who needs full - time work is dropped to part - time , which is sometimes a form of constructive dismissal to avoid paying unemployment benefits to | The number of hours of work required to be considered full-time typically ranges | [

An international hit in 1965 , `` The Birds and the Bees '' was reminiscent of such 1950s ' honky tonk - style hits as `` Blueberry Hill '' by Fats Domino and `` Kansas City '' by Wilbert Harrison . </P> <H2> History ( edit ) </H2> <P> `` The Birds and the Bees '' is said to have been written by the twelve - year - old son of Era Records ' owner Herb Newman : the songwriting credit on the Jewel Akens ' recording of `` The Birds and the Bees '' reads Barry Stuart which is the song 's standard songwriting credit although some subsequent recordings ( i.e. by artists other than Akens ) identify the composer as Herb Newman himself ( Newman had written `` The Wayward Wind '' a 1956 # 1 hit for Gogi Grant ) . Jewel Akens had recorded one single for Era as frontman for the doo - wop group the Turn - Arounds in 1964 when Newman pitched `` The Birds and the Bees '' as the group 's next recording : as Akens was the only group member to favor the song he recorded it solo , working through four or five different arrangements and thus considerably honing the song 's original format . </P> <P> Recorded at Gold Star Studios - with sound engineer Stan Ross employing the innovative technique of `` chorusing '' by patching the session guitarist into an organ speaker - `` The Birds and the Bees '' afforded Akens a Top Ten hit in the first quarter of 1965 reaching # 2 on the US Cash Box singles chart and # 3 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart : the single also reached # 21 on the US Billboard Black Singles chart .

The NSFNET also provided support for the creation of regional research and education networks in the United States , and for the connection of university and college campus networks to the regional networks . The use of NSFNET and the regional networks was not limited to supercomputer users and the 56 kbit / s network quickly became overloaded . NSFNET was upgraded to 1.5 Mbit / s in 1988 under a cooperative agreement with the Merit Network in partnership with IBM , MCI , and the State of Michigan . The existence of NSFNET and the creation of Federal Internet Exchanges ( FIXes ) allowed the ARPANET to be decommissioned in 1990 . NSFNET was expanded and upgraded to 45 Mbit / s in 1991 , and was decommissioned in 1995 when it was replaced by backbones operated by several commercial Internet Service Providers . </P> Transition towards the Internet <P> The term `` internet '' was adopted in the first RFC published on the TCP protocol ( RFC 675 : Internet Transmission Control Program , December 1974 ) as an abbreviation of the term internetworking and the two terms were used interchangeably . In general , an internet was any network using TCP / IP . It was around the time when ARPANET was interlinked with NSFNET in the late 1980s , that the term was used as the name of the network , Internet , being the large and global TCP / IP network . </P> <P> As interest in networking grew and new applications for it were developed , the Internet 's technologies spread throughout the rest of the world . The network - agnostic approach in TCP / IP meant that it was easy to use any existing network infrastructure , such as the IPSS X. 25 network , to carry Internet traffic . In 1982 , one year earlier than ARPANET , University College London replaced its transatlantic satellite links with TCP / IP over IPSS . </P> <P> Many sites unable to link directly to the Internet created simple gateways for the transfer of electronic mail , the most important application of the time . Sites with only intermittent connections used UUCP or FidoNet and relied on the gateways between these networks and the Internet . Some gateway services went beyond simple mail peering , such as allowing access to File Transfer Protocol ( FTP ) sites via UUCP or mail . </P> <P> Finally , routing technologies were developed for the Internet to remove the remaining centralized routing aspects .

A combination of inherent reactor design flaws and the reactor operators arranging the core in a manner contrary to the checklist for the test , eventually resulted in uncontrolled reaction conditions . Water flashed into steam generating a destructive steam explosion and a subsequent open - air graphite fire . This fire produced considerable updrafts for about nine days . These lofted plumes of fission products into the atmosphere . The estimated radioactive inventory that was released during this very hot fire phase approximately equaled in magnitude the airborne fission products released in the initial destructive explosion . This radioactive material precipitated onto parts of the western USSR and Europe . </P> <P> During the accident , steam - blast effects caused two deaths within the facility ; one immediately after the explosion , and the other , compounded by a lethal dose of radiation .

Before either plate tectonic theory developed , or the internal architecture of thrust belts became well understood , the term was used for most mountain belts , such as the Himalayas . The term is still fairly common in physical geography literature but has otherwise generally fallen out of use except as described below . The forces responsible for formation of fold mountains are called orogenic movements . The term orogenic has derived from a Greek word meaning mountain building .

They included mobilization of the population on a scale not previously attempted in Britain , with a combined military force of over 615,000 in December 1803 .

Taylor is then blindfolded and then a weird screen is brought out . Corey then walks into the room from the shadows , with a shaved head , wearing a suit and sunglasses . He takes the sunglasses off and then the blindfold is removed , revealing the woman from before . At the end of the solo and the final `` everything to '' shaved Corey presses the button and the other Corey is then seen singing on the screen . The lady panics from this sight and the rest of the band have smiles on their faces . At the end of the video the band leaves the lady tied .

Barry had not only arranged and conducted the `` James Bond Theme '' from the previous film , but had already scored some films such as Beat Girl and Never Let Go .

Monro 's vocal version is played during the film ( as source music on a radio ) and properly over the film 's end titles . The title credit music is a lively instrumental version of the tune preceded by a brief Barry - composed `` James Bond is Back '' then segueing into the `` James Bond Theme '' . On the original film soundtrack , Alan Haven played a jazzy organ over the theme but this version was not released on the soundtrack album . The tune also appears in a soft string arrangement as a theme for Tania . In Germany , the original release featured an end title track cover version called Die Wolga ist Weit sung by Ruthe Berlé . </P> <P> Originally planning to use local Turkish music as Norman had used Jamaican music on Dr No , Barry accompanied the film crew to Istanbul , however he found nothing suitable for the film . </P> <P> Recalling his visit to Istanbul , John Barry said , `` It was like no place I 'd ever been in my life .

The shift from the Julian to the Gregorian calendar in 1752 also slightly reduced the chance of a white Christmas , effectively moving Christmas earlier in the winter . An `` official '' white Christmas is defined by the Met Office as `` one snowflake to be observed falling in the 24 hours of 25 December somewhere in the UK '' , but formerly the snow had to be observed at the Met Office building in London . By the newer measure , over half of all years have white Christmases , with snow being observed 38 times in the 54 years to 2015 . A more `` traditional '' idea of snow - covered ground is less common , however , with only 4 occasions in the 51 years to 2015 reporting snow on the ground at 9am at more than 40 % of weather stations . </P> <P> Although most places in the UK do tend to see some snow in the winter , it generally falls in January and February . However white Christmases do occur , on average every 6 years . </P> <P> Christmas 2009 was a white Christmas in some parts of Britain , with thick lying snow which easterly winds had brought over the previous week . Travel over much of Britain was badly affected by ice and snow on roads , and was made more slippery by partial daytime thaw followed by overnight refreezing . It was the first white Christmas anywhere in the United Kingdom since 2004 . </P> <H2> White Christmases in Ireland ( edit ) </H2> <P> In Ireland , the prospect of early winter snow is always remote due to the country 's mild and wet climate ( snowfall is most common in January and February ) . Bookmakers offer odds every year for a white Christmas , which is officially lying snow being recorded at 09 : 00 local time on Christmas Day , and recorded at either Dublin Airport or Cork Airport ( bets are offered for each airport ) . Since 1961 , countrywide , snow has fallen on 17 Christmas Days ( 1961 , 1962 , 1964 , 1966 , 1970 , 1980 , 1984 , 1990 , 1993 , 1995 , 1998 , 1999 , 2000 , 2001 , 2004 , 2009 and 2010 ) , with nine of these having snow lying on the ground at 09 : 00 ( 1964 , 1970 , 1980 , 1993 , 1995 , 1999 , 2004 , 2009 and 2010 ) .

Edward V at right wears the garter of the Order of the Garter beneath his left knee . <P> `` The Princes in the Tower '' is an expression frequently used to refer to Edward V , King of England and Richard of Shrewsbury , Duke of York . The two brothers were the only sons of Edward IV of England and Elizabeth Woodville surviving at the time of their father 's death in 1483 . When they were 12 and 9 years old , respectively , they were lodged in the Tower of London by the man appointed to look after them , their uncle , the Lord Protector : Richard , Duke of Gloucester . This was supposedly in preparation for Edward 's forthcoming coronation as king . However , Richard took the throne for himself and the boys disappeared . </P> <P> It is unclear what happened to the boys after they disappeared in the Tower . It is generally assumed that they were murdered ; a common hypothesis is that they were killed by Richard in an attempt to secure his hold on the throne . Their death may have occurred some time in 1483 , but apart from their disappearance , the only evidence is circumstantial . As a result , several other hypotheses about their fates have been proposed , including the suggestion that they were murdered by Henry Stafford , 2nd Duke of Buckingham or Henry VII , among others . It has also been suggested that one or both princes may have escaped assassination . In 1487 , Lambert Simnel initially claimed to be Richard , Duke of York , but later claimed to be Edward Plantagenet , 17th Earl of Warwick . From 1491 until his capture in 1497 , Perkin Warbeck claimed to be Richard , Duke of York , having supposedly escaped to Flanders . Warbeck 's claim was supported by some contemporaries ( including the aunt of the disappeared princes , Margaret of York ) . </P> <P> In 1674 , workmen at the Tower dug up a wooden box containing two small human skeletons . The bones were found in the ground near the White Tower , which is close to one reported site of their burial . The bones were widely accepted at the time as those of the princes , but this has not been proven and is far from certain . King Charles II had the bones buried in Westminster Abbey . </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Background </Li> <Li> 2 Disappearance </Li> <Li> 3 Evidence <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Rumours </Li> <Li> 3.2 Early writers </Li> <Li> 3.3 Bodies <Ul> <Li> 3.3. 1 Tower of London </Li> <Li> 3.3. 2 St George 's Chapel | The father of the Princes in the Tower was | [

He is widely regarded as one of the most significant and celebrated sports figures of the 20th century . From early in his career , Ali was known as an inspiring , controversial , and polarizing figure both inside and outside the ring . </P> <P> Clay was born and raised in Louisville , Kentucky , and began training as an amateur boxer when he was 12 years old . At age 18 , he won a gold medal in the light heavyweight division at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome and turned professional later that year . At age 22 in 1964 , he won the WBA , WBC , and lineal heavyweight titles from Sonny Liston in a major upset . Clay then converted to Islam and changed his name from Cassius Clay , which he called his `` slave name '' , to Muhammad Ali . He set an example of racial pride for African Americans and resistance to white domination during the Civil Rights Movement . </P> <P> In 1966 , two years after winning the heavyweight title , Ali further antagonized the white establishment by refusing to be drafted into the U.S. military , citing his religious beliefs and opposition to American involvement in the Vietnam War . He was eventually arrested , found guilty of draft evasion charges , and stripped of his boxing titles . He successfully appealed the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court , which overturned his conviction in 1971 , by which time he had not fought for nearly four years and thereby lost a period of peak performance as an athlete . Ali 's actions as a conscientious objector to the war made him an icon for the larger counterculture generation . </P> <P> Ali is regarded as one of the leading heavyweight boxers of the 20th century , and remains the only three - time lineal heavyweight champion .

-8411583589767613435 | Gas exchange - wikipedia <H1> Gas exchange </H1> Jump to : navigation , search <P> Gas exchange is the biological process by which gases move passively by diffusion across a surface . Typically , this surface is - or contains - a biological membrane that forms the boundary between an organism and its extracellular environment . </P> <P> Gases are constantly consumed and produced by cellular and metabolic reactions in most living things , so an efficient system for gas exchange between , ultimately , the interior of the cell ( s ) and the external environment is required . Small , particularly unicellular organisms , such as bacteria and protozoa , have a high surface - area to volume ratio . In these creatures the gas exchange membrane is typically the cell membrane . Some small multicellular organisms , such as flatworms , are also able to perform sufficient gas exchange across the skin or cuticle that surrounds their bodies . However , in most larger organisms , which have a small surface - area to volume ratios , specialised structures with convoluted surfaces such as gills , pulmonary alveoli and spongy mesophyll provide the large area needed for effective gas exchange . These convoluted surfaces may sometimes be internalised into the body of the organism . This is the case with the alveoli , which form the inner surface of the mammalian lung , the spongy mesophyll , which is found inside the leaves of some kinds of plant , or the gills of those molluscs that have them , which are found in the mantle cavity . </P> <P> In aerobic organisms , gas exchange is particularly important for respiration , which involves the uptake of oxygen ( O 2 ) and release of carbon dioxide ( CO 2 ) . Conversely , in oxygenic photosynthetic organisms such as most land plants , uptake of carbon dioxide and release of both oxygen and water vapour are the main gas - exchange processes occurring during the day . Other gas - exchange processes are important in less familiar organisms : e.g. carbon dioxide , methane and hydrogen are exchanged across the cell membrane of methanogenic archaea . In nitrogen fixation by diazotrophic bacteria , and denitrification by heterotrophic bacteria ( such as Paracoccus denitrificans and various pseudomonads ) , nitrogen gas is exchanged with the environment , being taken up by the former and released into it by the latter , while giant tube worms rely on bacteria to oxidize hydrogen sulfide extracted from their deep sea environment , using dissolved oxygen in the water as an electron acceptor . </P> <P> </P> <H2> Contents </H2> ( hide ) <Ul> <Li> 1 Physical principles of gas - exchange <Ul> <Li> 1.1 Diffusion and surface area </Li> <Li> 1.2 Interaction with circulatory systems </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 2 Mammals <Ul> <Li> 2.1 Exchange membrane </Li> <Li> 2.2 Alveolar air </Li> <Li> 2.3 Pulmonary circulation </Li> </Ul> </Li> <Li> 3 Other vertebrates <Ul> <Li> 3.1 Fish </Li> <Li> 3.2 Amphibians </Li> <Li> | The surface area in many kinds of organs is important because the amount of surface determines | [

Although often considered a type of derivative work , recent academic developments by scholars such as Robert Stam conceptualize film adaptation as a dialogic process . </P> <P> A common form of film adaptation is the use of a novel as the basis of a feature film . Other works adapted into films include non-fiction ( including journalism ) , autobiography , comic books , scriptures , plays , historical sources , and even other films .

It was cut , at studio insistence , to four hours , then without Stroheim 's input , cut again to around two hours . The end result was a film that was largely incoherent . Since that time , few directors have attempted to put everything in a novel into a film . Therefore , elision is all but essential . </P> <P> However , in some cases , film adaptations also interpolate scenes or invent characters . This is especially true when a novel is part of a literary saga . Incidents or quotations from later or earlier novels will be inserted into a single film . Additionally , and far more controversially , filmmakers will invent new characters or create stories that were not present in the source material at all . Given the anticipated audience for a film , the screenwriter , director , or movie studio may wish to increase character time or to invent new characters . For example , William J. Kennedy 's Pulitzer Prize - winning novel Ironweed included a short appearance by a prostitute named Helen . Because the film studio anticipated a female audience for the film and had Meryl Streep for the role , Helen became a significant part of the film .

'' The Sacred Valley was incorporated slowly into the incipient Inca Empire during the period from 1000 to 1400 CE . </P> <P> The scenic and historical Sacred Valley is a major tourist destination . In 2013 , 1.2 million people , 800,000 of them non-Peruvians , are estimated to have visited Machu Picchu , its most famous archaeological site .

The Sacred Valley has elevations above sea level along the river ranging from 3,000 metres ( 9,800 ft ) at Pisac to 2,050 metres ( 6,730 ft ) at the Urubamba River below the citadel of Macchu Piccu . On both sides of the river , the mountains rise to much higher elevations , especially to the south where two prominent mountains overlook the valley : Sahuasiray , 5,818 metres ( 19,088 ft ) and Veronica , 5,893 metres ( 19,334 ft ) in elevation . The intensely cultivated valley floor is about 1 kilometre ( 0.62 mi ) wide on average .

The latter , in Quechua , the still spoken lingua franca of the Inca Empire , means the sacred river . It is fed by numerous tributaries which descend through adjoining valleys and gorges , and contains numerous archaeological remains and villages . The Sacred Valley was the most important area for maize production in the heartland of the Inca Empire and access through the valley to tropical areas facilitated the import of products such as coca leaf and chile peppers to Cuzco . </P> <P> The climate of Urubamba is typical of the valley .

The British Parliament hoped these punitive measures would , by making an example of Massachusetts , reverse the trend of colonial resistance to parliamentary authority that had begun with the 1764 Sugar Act . A fifth act , the Quebec Act , enlarged the boundaries of what was then the Province of Quebec and instituted reforms generally favorable to the French Catholic inhabitants of the region ; although unrelated to the other four Acts , it was passed in the same legislative session and seen by the colonists as one of the Intolerable Acts .

It uses a small heart - shaped piece of wood or plastic called a planchette . Participants place their fingers on the planchette , and it is moved about the board to spell out words . `` Ouija '' is a trademark of Hasbro , Inc. , but is often used generically to refer to any talking board .

Spiritualists believed that the dead were able to contact the living and reportedly used a talking board very similar to a modern ouija board at their camps in Ohio in 1886 to ostensibly enable faster communication with spirits . </P> <P> Some Christian denominations have `` warned against using ouija boards '' , holding that they can lead to demonic possession .
