Santa Claus

The origins of the NORAD Tracks Santa programme began in the United States in 1955 , when a Sears Roebuck store in Colorado Springs , Colorado , gave children a number to call a `` Santa hotline '' . The number was mistyped , resulting in children calling the Continental Air Defense Command ( CONAD ) on Christmas Eve instead . The Director of Operations , Colonel Harry Shoup , received the first call for Santa and responded by telling children that there were signs on the radar that Santa was indeed heading south from the North Pole . A tradition began which continued under the name NORAD Tracks Santa when in 1958 Canada and the United States jointly created the North American Air Defense Command ( NORAD ) . This tracking can now be done via the Internet and NORAD 's website .

The first two shots of As Seen Through a Telescope ( 1900 ) , with the telescope POV simulated by the circular mask .

History of film

The further development of action continuity in multi-shot films continued in 1899 at the Brighton School in England . In the latter part of that year , George Albert Smith made The Kiss in the Tunnel . This started with a shot from a `` phantom ride '' at the point at which the train goes into a tunnel , and continued with the action on a set representing the interior of a railway carriage , where a man steals a kiss from a woman , and then cuts back to the phantom ride shot when the train comes out of the tunnel . A month later , the Bamforth company in Yorkshire made a restaged version of this film under the same title , and in this case they filmed shots of a train entering and leaving a tunnel from beside the tracks , which they joined before and after their version of the kiss inside the train compartment . </P> The first two shots of As Seen Through a Telescope ( 1900 ) , with the telescope POV simulated by the circular mask . <P> In 1900 , continuity of action across successive shots was definitively established by George Albert Smith and James Williamson , who also worked in Brighton . In that year Smith made As Seen Through a Telescope , in which the main shot shows street scene with a young man tying the shoelace and then caressing the foot of his girlfriend , while an old man observes this through a telescope . There is then a cut to close shot of the hands on the girl 's foot shown inside a black circular mask , and then a cut back to the continuation of the original scene . Even more remarkable is James Williamson 's Attack on a China Mission Station ( 1900 ) . The first shot shows Chinese Boxer rebels at the gate ; it then cuts to the missionary family in the garden , where a fight ensues . The wife signals to British sailors from the balcony , who come and rescue them . The film also used the first `` reverse angle '' cut in film history .

Battle of Belleau Wood

German commanders ordered an advance on Marigny and Lucy through Belleau Wood as part of a major offensive , in which other German troops would cross the Marne River . The commander of the Marine Brigade , Army General James Harbord , countermanding a French order to dig trenches further to the rear , ordered the Marines to `` hold where they stand '' . With bayonets , the Marines dug shallow fighting positions from which they could fight from the prone position . In the afternoon of 3 June , German infantry attacked the Marine positions through the grain fields with bayonets fixed . The Marines waited until the Germans were within 100 yd ( 91 m ) before opening deadly rifle fire which mowed down waves of German infantry and forced the survivors to retreat into the woods .

Blade Runner 2049

Rapper - producer El - P was asked to compose music for the first Blade Runner 2049 trailer , but his score was `` rejected or ignored '' . Jóhann Jóhannsson , who had worked with Villeneuve on Prisoners , Sicario and Arrival , was initially announced as composer for the film . However , Villeneuve and Jóhannsson decided to end the collaboration because Villeneuve considered the film `` needed something different , and I needed to go back to something closer to Vangelis 's soundtrack '' . New composers Hans Zimmer and Benjamin Wallfisch joined in July 2017 . In September , Jóhannsson 's agent confirmed that he was no longer involved and that he was contractually forbidden from commenting on the situation .

At the same time the 1898 Vaccination Act banned arm - to - arm vaccination , thus preventing transmission of syphilis by this vaccine .

Smallpox vaccine

Vaccine produced by Copeman 's method was the only type issued free to public vaccinators by the English Government Vaccine Establishment from 1899 . At the same time the 1898 Vaccination Act banned arm - to - arm vaccination , thus preventing transmission of syphilis by this vaccine . However , private practitioners had to purchase vaccine from commercial producers . Although proper use of glycerine reduced bacterial contamination considerably the crude starting material , scraped from the skin of infected calves , was always heavily contaminated and no vaccine was totally free from bacteria . A survey of vaccines in 1900 found wide variations in bacterial contamination . Vaccine issued by the Government Vaccine Establishment contained 5,000 bacteria per gram , while commercial vaccines contained up to 100,000 per gram . The level of bacterial contamination remained unregulated until the Therapeutic Substances Act , 1925 set an upper limit of 5,000 per gram , and rejected any batch of vaccine found to contain the causative organisms of erysipelas or wound infections . Unfortunately glycerolated vaccine soon lost its potency at ambient temperatures which restricted its use in tropical climates . However , it remained in use into the 1970s where a satisfactory cold chain was available . Animals continued to be widely used by vaccine producers during the smallpox eradication campaign . A WHO survey of 59 producers , some of whom used more than one source of vaccine , found that 39 used calves , 12 used sheep and 6 used water buffalo , whilst only 3 made vaccine in cell culture and 3 in embryonated hens ' eggs . English vaccine was occasionally made in sheep during World War I but from 1946 only sheep were used .

The first of these markers to be discovered , human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ) , was discovered in 1930 to be produced by the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the fertilised ova ( eggs ) .

Pregnancy test

A pregnancy test attempts to determine whether a woman is pregnant . Markers that indicate pregnancy are found in urine and blood , and pregnancy tests require sampling one of these substances . The first of these markers to be discovered , human chorionic gonadotropin ( hCG ) , was discovered in 1930 to be produced by the syncytiotrophoblast cells of the fertilised ova ( eggs ) . While hCG is a reliable marker of pregnancy , it can not be detected until after implantation : this results in false negatives if the test is performed during the very early stages of pregnancy . HCG can be detected via blood 8 days after fertilization of the egg , and in the urine 10 days after . Obstetric ultrasonography may also be used to detect pregnancy . Obstetric ultrasonography was first practiced in the 1960s ; the first home test kit for hCG was invented in 1968 . The kits went on the market in the United States and Europe in the mid-1970s .

Princess Fiona

Princess Fiona is initially portrayed as the archetypal princess from fairy tales , speaking formally in matters of courtship and presenting high expectations of how she is to be rescued , who is to rescue her , and so forth . She seems to give off an air of prissiness and even snobbery to a degree ( however this is shown to be purely out of her concern for breaking her curse , of which she is ashamed ) . Later , Princess Fiona 's true self emerges , as she is really a very down - to - earth and independent woman who is a match or even better than Shrek when it comes to farting , belching and other bad habits . She is a loyal friend , and unlike princesses of fairy tales , an expert in hand - to - hand combat with knowledge of martial arts . She also has very bad manners ( just like Shrek ) , since she is an ogre . However , she is much more well - mannered when in front of her parents .

DD Form 214

There are eight original DD214 copies . All but Member 1 , the `` short form '' copy , contain information as to the nature and type of discharge , and the re-enlistment code . This code is used to determine whether or not the service member can go back into the service . For unemployment benefits , veterans affairs benefits , as well as for several other services , the `` Member 's Copy 4 '' is usually requested but any other `` long form '' copy is acceptable . All eight copies are identical except Member 1 , the `` short form , '' which lacks this critical information . The military will not provide a replacement `` Member 's Copy 4 '' ( it is the service member 's personal copy and physically given to him at separation ) and any request for a replacement is always honored by providing a `` Service 2 , '' `` Service 7 '' or `` Service 8 '' copy .

The most current reliable evidence strongly indicates that initial settlement of New Zealand occurred around 1280 CE .

History of New Zealand

New Zealand was originally settled by Polynesians from Eastern Polynesia . Genetic and archaeological evidence suggests that humans emigrated from Taiwan to Melanesia and then travelled east through to the Society Islands ; after a pause of 70 to 265 years , a new wave of exploration led to the discovery and settlement of New Zealand . The most current reliable evidence strongly indicates that initial settlement of New Zealand occurred around 1280 CE . Previous dating of some Kiore ( Polynesian rat ) bones at 50 -- 150 CE has now been shown to have been unreliable ; new samples of bone ( and now also of unequivocally rat - gnawed woody seed cases ) match the 1280 CE date of the earliest archaeological sites and the beginning of sustained , anthropogenic deforestation .

Permissions were thus granted from 1967 onwards to celebrate most of the Tridentine Mass in vernacular languages , including the Canon .

Latin Mass

A further distancing between the concepts of `` Tridentine Mass '' and `` Latin Mass '' was brought about by the 1964 Instruction on implementing the Constitution on Sacred Liturgy of the Second Vatican Council , which laid down that `` normally the epistle and gospel from the Mass of the day shall be read in the vernacular '' . Episcopal conferences were to decide , with the consent of the Holy See , what other parts , if any , of the Mass were to be celebrated in the vernacular .

Acts of Union 1707

In Scotland , the Duke of Queensberry was largely responsible for the successful passage of the Union act by the Scottish Parliament . In Scotland , he received much criticism from local residents , but in England he was cheered for his action . He had received around half of the funding awarded by the Westminster treasury for himself . In April 1707 , he travelled to London to attend celebrations at the royal court , and was greeted by groups of noblemen and gentry lined along the road . From Barnet , the route was lined with crowds of cheering people , and once he reached London a huge crowd had formed . On 17 April , the Duke was gratefully received by the Queen at Kensington Palace .

They were the same color as the enlisted rank stripes and were `` half - chevrons '' ( angled strips of cloth ) .

Service stripe

In the United States , the concept of a service stripe dates back to 1782 when , during the American Revolution , George Washington ordered that enlisted men who had served for three years `` with bravery , fidelity and good conduct '' should wear `` a narrow piece of white cloth , of angular form '' on the left sleeve of the uniform coat . In the U.S. Army , sleeve stripes denoted a successful completion of a standard enlistment . They were the same color as the enlisted rank stripes and were `` half - chevrons '' ( angled strips of cloth ) . Service during the American Civil War was denoted by a red stripe bordered by the rank stripe color ( called a `` Blood Stripe '' ) . The artillery corps , who wore red stripes on their uniforms , wore a white stripe bordered red instead .

Landing at Anzac Cove

The assault troops , mostly from the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps ( ANZAC ) , landed at night on the western ( Aegean Sea ) side of the peninsula . They were put ashore one mile ( 1.6 km ) north of their intended landing beach . In the darkness , the assault formations became mixed up , but the troops gradually made their way inland , under increasing opposition from the Ottoman Turkish defenders . Not long after coming ashore the ANZAC plans were discarded , and the companies and battalions were thrown into battle piece - meal , and received mixed orders . Some advanced to their designated objectives while others were diverted to other areas , then ordered to dig in along defensive ridge lines .

United States Senate

Under the Constitution , the vice president serves as President of the Senate . He or she may vote in the Senate ( ex officio , for he or she is not an elected member of the Senate ) in the case of a tie , but is not required to . For much of the nation 's history the task of presiding over Senate sessions was one of the vice president 's principal duties ( the other being to receive from the states the tally of electoral ballots cast for president and vice president and to open the certificates `` in the Presence of the Senate and House of Representatives , '' so that the total votes could be counted ) . Since the 1950s , vice presidents have presided over few Senate debates .

Conversion of nitrogen into nitrates and nitrites through atmospheric , industrial and biological processes is called as nitrogen fixation .

Nitrogen cycle

Conversion of nitrogen into nitrates and nitrites through atmospheric , industrial and biological processes is called as nitrogen fixation . Atmospheric nitrogen must be processed , or `` fixed '' , in a usable form to be taken up by plants . Between 5x10 and 10x10 g per year are fixed by lightning strikes , but most fixation is done by free - living or symbiotic bacteria known as diazotrophs . These bacteria have the nitrogenase enzyme that combines gaseous nitrogen with hydrogen to produce ammonia , which is converted by the bacteria into other organic compounds . Most biological nitrogen fixation occurs by the activity of Mo - nitrogenase , found in a wide variety of bacteria and some Archaea . Mo - nitrogenase is a complex two - component enzyme that has multiple metal - containing prosthetic groups . An example of free - living bacteria is Azotobacter . Symbiotic nitrogen - fixing bacteria such as Rhizobium usually live in the root nodules of legumes ( such as peas , alfalfa , and locust trees ) . Here they form a mutualistic relationship with the plant , producing ammonia in exchange for carbohydrates . Because of this relationship , legumes will often increase the nitrogen content of nitrogen - poor soils . A few non-legumes can also form such symbioses . Today , about 30 % of the total fixed nitrogen is produced industrially using the Haber - Bosch process , which uses high temperatures and pressures to convert nitrogen gas and a hydrogen source ( natural gas or petroleum ) into ammonia .

The Sino - Japanese conflict ( 1931 -- 45 ) gave the Great Wall a new lease of life in the eyes of the Chinese .

History of the Great Wall of China

The Sino - Japanese conflict ( 1931 -- 45 ) gave the Great Wall a new lease of life in the eyes of the Chinese . During the 1933 defence of the Great Wall , inadequately - equipped Chinese soldiers held off double their number of Japanese troops for several months . Using the cover of the Great Wall , the Chinese -- who were at times only armed with broadswords -- were able to beat off a Japanese advance that had the support of aerial bombardment . With the Chinese forces eventually overrun , the subsequent Tanggu Truce stipulated that the Great Wall was to become a demilitarized zone separating China and the newly created Japanese puppet state of Manchukuo . Even so , the determined defence of the Great Wall made it a symbol of Chinese patriotism and the resoluteness of the Chinese people . The Chinese Communist leader Mao Zedong picked up this symbol in his poetry during his `` Long March '' escaping from Kuomintang prosecution . Near the end of the trek in 1935 , Mao wrote the poem `` Mount Liupan '' that contains the well - known line that would be carved in stone along the Great Wall in the present day : `` Those who fail to reach the Great Wall are not true men '' ( 不 到 长城 非 好汉 ) . Another noteworthy reference to the Great Wall is in the song `` The March of the Volunteers '' , whose words came from a stanza in Tian Han 's 1934 poem entitled `` The Great Wall '' . The song , originally from the anti-Japanese movie Children of Troubled Times , enjoyed continued popularity in China and was selected as the provisional national anthem of the People 's Republic of China ( PRC ) at its establishment in 1949 .

As time progressed , the tradition is that the male presents a corsage or nosegay to the female as a gift , while the female would get the boutonniere and pin it on the shirt or jacket .

Corsage

When attending a school formal or prom , providing a corsage for a prom date signifies consideration and generosity , as the corsage is meant to symbolize and honor the person wearing it . Corsages are usually worn around a prom date 's wrist ; alternatively , they may be pinned on her dress or a modified nosegay can be carried in her hand . The colors of the flowers are usually designed to complement the dress or to add color to the couple , tying the whole look together . Prom couples may wish to go together to choose the flowers for a custom - made corsage or boutonniere . As time progressed , the tradition is that the male presents a corsage or nosegay to the female as a gift , while the female would get the boutonniere and pin it on the shirt or jacket . Typically for homecoming the corsage is used because it is a much smaller event compared to prom . For prom events the more modern choice is the nosegay because they are more appealing in pictures .

Over 80 % of trees in the Atchafalaya River basin were downed , and the agriculture there was devastated .

Hurricane Andrew

Prior to making landfall in Louisiana on August 26 , Andrew caused extensive damage to oil platforms in the Gulf of Mexico , leading to $500 million in losses for oil companies . It produced hurricane - force winds along its path through Louisiana , damaging large stretches of power lines that left about 230,000 people without electricity . Over 80 % of trees in the Atchafalaya River basin were downed , and the agriculture there was devastated . Throughout the basin and Bayou Lafourche , 187 million freshwater fish were killed in the hurricane . With 23,000 houses damaged , 985 others destroyed , and 1,951 mobile homes demolished , property losses in Louisiana exceeded $1.5 billion . The hurricane caused the deaths of 17 people in the state , 6 of whom drowned offshore . Andrew spawned at least 28 tornadoes along the Gulf Coast , especially in Alabama , Georgia , and Mississippi . In total , Andrew left 65 dead and caused $26.5 billion in damage . It is currently the fifth costliest Atlantic hurricane to hit the United States , behind only Katrina , Sandy ( 2012 ) , Ike ( 2008 ) , and Harvey ( 2017 ) , as well as the sixth costliest Atlantic hurricane , behind the aforementioned systems and Wilma ( 2005 ) .

Pepsin

Pepsin is an endopeptidase that breaks down proteins into smaller peptides ( that is , a protease ) . It is produced in the stomach and is one of the main digestive enzymes in the digestive systems of humans and many other animals , where it helps digest the proteins in food . Pepsin has a three dimensional structure , of which one or more polypeptide chains twist and fold , bringing together a small number of amino acids to form the active site , or the location on the enzyme where the substrate binds and the reaction takes place . Pepsin is an aspartic protease , using a catalytic aspartate in its active site .

The American Civil War ( also known by other names ) was a war fought in the United States ( U.S. ) from 1861 to 1865 . The Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in U.S. history . Largely as a result of the long - standing controversy over the enslavement of black people , war broke out in April 1861 , when secessionist forces attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina , shortly after United States President Abraham Lincoln was inaugurated . The loyalists of the Union in the North proclaimed support for the Constitution . They faced secessionists of the Confederate States in the South , who advocated for states ' rights to uphold slavery .

Pyramid of Djoser

Djoser is best known for his innovative tomb , which dominates the Saqqara landscape . In this tomb he is referred to by his Horus name Netjeriykhet ; Djoser is a name given by New Kingdom visitors thousands of years later . Djoser 's step pyramid is astounding in its departure from previous architecture . It sets several important precedents , perhaps the most important of which is its status as the first monumental structure made of stone . The social implications of such a large and carefully sculpted stone structure are staggering . The process of building such a structure would be far more labor - intensive than previous monuments of mud - brick . This suggests that the state , and therefore the royal government had a new level of control of resources , both material and human . Also , from this point on , kings of the Old Kingdom are buried in the North , rather than at Abydos . Furthermore , although the plan of Djoser 's pyramid complex is different than later complexes , many elements persist and the step pyramid sets the stage for later pyramids of the 4th , 5th , and 6th Dynasties , including the great pyramids of Giza . Finally , another intriguing first is the identification of the architect Imhotep , who is credited with the design and construction of the complex .

Among the bags , boots and balls was a golden cup given to them by Sir Donald Currie , owner of Union - Castle Lines , the shipping company that transported them to the southern tip of Africa .

Currie Cup

The Currie Cup is one of the oldest rugby competitions , with the first games played in 1889 but it was only in 1892 that it became officially known as the Currie Cup . The competition had its humble beginnings as an inter-province competition in 1884 , but when the South African Rugby Board was founded in 1889 it decided to organize a national competition that would involve representative teams from all the major unions . The original participating unions were Western Province , Griqualand West , Transvaal and Eastern Province . The first tournament was held in Kimberley and was won by Western Province . For a prize they received a silver cup donated by the South African Rugby Board , now displayed at the SA Rugby Museum in Cape Town . The story of how the Currie Cup came to be comes from the first overseas rugby team to tour South Africa in 1891 , The British Isles , who carried with them a particularly precious bit of cargo . Among the bags , boots and balls was a golden cup given to them by Sir Donald Currie , owner of Union - Castle Lines , the shipping company that transported them to the southern tip of Africa . Sir Donald was clear with his instructions -- hand this trophy over to the team in South Africa that gives you the best game ; and after a spirited display where the unbeaten British Lions narrowly won 3 - 0 , Griqualand West became the first ever holders of the Currie Cup . They then handed the trophy over to the South African rugby board and it became the floating trophy for the Currie Cup competition . The inaugural Currie Cup tournament was thus held in 1892 with Western Province earning the honour of holding it aloft as the first official winners .

In 1956 , 500 mg tablets of paracetamol went on sale in the United Kingdom under the trade name Panadol , produced by Frederick Stearns & Co , a subsidiary of Sterling Drug Inc .

Paracetamol

Paracetamol was first marketed in the United States in 1950 under the name Triagesic , a combination of paracetamol , aspirin , and caffeine . Reports in 1951 of three users stricken with the blood disease agranulocytosis led to its removal from the marketplace , and it took several years until it became clear that the disease was unconnected . Paracetamol was marketed in 1953 by Sterling - Winthrop Co. as Panadol , available only by prescription , and promoted as preferable to aspirin since it was safe for children and people with ulcers . In 1955 , paracetamol was marketed as Children 's Tylenol Elixir by McNeil Laboratories . In 1956 , 500 mg tablets of paracetamol went on sale in the United Kingdom under the trade name Panadol , produced by Frederick Stearns & Co , a subsidiary of Sterling Drug Inc . In 1963 , paracetamol was added to the British Pharmacopoeia , and has gained popularity since then as an analgesic agent with few side - effects and little interaction with other pharmaceutical agents . Concerns about paracetamol 's safety delayed its widespread acceptance until the 1970s , but in the 1980s paracetamol sales exceeded those of aspirin in many countries , including the United Kingdom . This was accompanied by the commercial demise of phenacetin , blamed as the cause of analgesic nephropathy and hematological toxicity . In 1988 Sterling Winthrop was acquired by Eastman Kodak which sold the over the counter drug rights to SmithKline Beecham in 1994 .

In Thai , tone is determined primarily by the choice of consonant , with diacritics for disambiguation .

Alphabet

Thus the primary classification of alphabets reflects how they treat vowels . For tonal languages , further classification can be based on their treatment of tone , though names do not yet exist to distinguish the various types . Some alphabets disregard tone entirely , especially when it does not carry a heavy functional load , as in Somali and many other languages of Africa and the Americas . Such scripts are to tone what abjads are to vowels . Most commonly , tones are indicated with diacritics , the way vowels are treated in abugidas . This is the case for Vietnamese ( a true alphabet ) and Thai ( an abugida ) . In Thai , tone is determined primarily by the choice of consonant , with diacritics for disambiguation . In the Pollard script , an abugida , vowels are indicated by diacritics , but the placement of the diacritic relative to the consonant is modified to indicate the tone . More rarely , a script may have separate letters for tones , as is the case for Hmong and Zhuang . For most of these scripts , regardless of whether letters or diacritics are used , the most common tone is not marked , just as the most common vowel is not marked in Indic abugidas ; in Zhuyin not only is one of the tones unmarked , but there is a diacritic to indicate lack of tone , like the virama of Indic .

Trick-or-treating

In North America , trick - or - treating has been a Halloween tradition since the late 1920s . In Britain and Ireland the tradition of going house - to - house collecting food at Halloween goes back at least as far as the 16th century , as had the tradition of people wearing costumes at Halloween . In 19th century Britain and Ireland , there are many accounts of people going house - to - house in costume at Halloween , reciting verses in exchange for food , and sometimes warning of misfortune if they were not welcomed . The Scottish Halloween custom of `` guising '' -- children disguised in costume going from house to house for food or money -- is first recorded in North America in 1911 in Ontario , Canada . While going house - to - house in costume has remained popular among Scots and Irish , the custom of saying `` trick or treat '' has only recently become common . The activity is prevalent in the United States , Canada , the United Kingdom , the Republic of Ireland , Puerto Rico , and northwestern and central Mexico . In the latter , this practice is called calaverita ( Spanish for `` sugar skull '' ) , and instead of `` trick or treat '' , the children ask ¿ me da mi calaverita ? ( `` can you give me my sugar skull ? '' ) where a calaverita is a small skull made of sugar or chocolate .

Dissenting churches of the day ( i.e. , Protestant , non-Church of England ) were , in the words of Patricia Bonomi , the `` school of democracy . '' President John Witherspoon of the College of New Jersey ( now Princeton University ) wrote widely circulated sermons linking the American Revolution to the teachings of the Bible . Throughout the colonies , dissenting Protestant ministers ( Congregationalist , Baptist , and Presbyterian ) preached Revolutionary themes in their sermons , while most Church of England clergymen preached loyalty to the king , the titular head of the English state church . Religious motivation for fighting tyranny transcended socioeconomic lines to encompass rich and poor , men and women , frontiersmen and townsmen , farmers and merchants .

Invasion of Poland

France and the UK declared war on Germany on 3 September , but failed to provide any meaningful support . The German - French border saw only a few minor skirmishes , although the majority of German forces , including 85 % of their armoured forces , were engaged in Poland . Despite some Polish successes in minor border battles , German technical , operational and numerical superiority forced the Polish armies to retreat from the borders towards Warsaw and Lwów . The Luftwaffe gained air superiority early in the campaign . By destroying communications , the Luftwaffe increased the pace of the advance which overran Polish airstrips and early warning sites , causing logistical problems for the Poles . Many Polish Air Force units ran low on supplies , 98 of their number withdrew into then - neutral Romania . The Polish initial strength of 400 was reduced to just 54 by 14 September and air opposition virtually ceased .

'' According to Henley , Frey was the main writer of the song , although he had some input with the verses and the music . The song was written when Frey and Henley were sharing a house in Trousdale , Beverly Hills . Frey said of the writing of the song : `` ... the story had always been there . I do n't want to say it wrote itself , but once we started working on it , there were no sticking points . Lyrics just kept coming out , and that 's not always the way songs get written . '' During the Eagles 2013 concert tour , Frey stated it was written in just two evenings .

As stored food , yolks are often rich in vitamins , minerals , lipids and proteins .

Yolk

As stored food , yolks are often rich in vitamins , minerals , lipids and proteins . The proteins function partly as food in their own right , and partly in controlling the storage and supply of the other nutrients . For example , in some species the amount of yolk in an egg cell affects the developmental processes that follow fertilization . The yolk is not living cell material like protoplasm , but largely passive material , that is to say deutoplasm . The food material and associated control structures are supplied during oogenesis . Some of the material is stored more or less in the form in which the maternal body supplied it , partly as processed by dedicated non-germ tissues in the egg , while part of the biosynthetic processing into its final form happens in the oocyte itself .

Russian Civil War

The Russian Civil War ( Russian : Гражда́нская война́ в Росси́и , tr . Grazhdanskaya voyna v Rossiyi ; November 1917 -- October 1922 ) was a multi-party war in the former Russian Empire immediately after the Russian Revolutions of 1917 , as many factions vied to determine Russia 's political future . The two largest combatant groups were the Red Army , fighting for the Bolshevik form of socialism led by Vladimir Lenin , and the loosely allied forces known as the White Army , which included diverse interests favoring monarchism , capitalism and alternative forms of socialism , each with democratic and antidemocratic variants . In addition , rival militant socialists and nonideological Green armies fought against both the Bolsheviks and the Whites . Eight foreign nations intervened against the Red Army , notably the Allied Forces and the pro-German armies . The Red Army defeated the White Armed Forces of South Russia in Ukraine and the army led by Admiral Aleksandr Kolchak in Siberia in 1919 . The remains of the White forces commanded by Pyotr Nikolayevich Wrangel were beaten in Crimea and evacuated in late 1920 . Lesser battles of the war continued on the periphery for two more years , and minor skirmishes with the remnants of the White forces in the Far East continued well into 1923 . The war ended in 1923 in the sense that Red control of the newly formed Soviet Union was now assured , although armed national resistance in Central Asia was not completely crushed until 1934 . There were an estimated 7,000,000 -- 12,000,000 casualties during the war , mostly civilians . The Russian Civil War has been described by some as the greatest national catastrophe that Europe had yet seen .

On December 7 , 1989 , the Communist Party of Lithuania under the leadership of Algirdas Brazauskas , split from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and abandoned its claim to have a constitutional `` leading role '' in politics . A smaller loyalist faction of the Communist Party , headed by hardliner Mykolas Burokevičius , was established and remained affiliated with the CPSU . However , Lithuania 's governing Communist Party was formally independent from Moscow 's control -- a first for Soviet Republics and a political earthquake that prompted Gorbachev to arrange a visit to Lithuania the following month in a futile attempt to bring the local party back under control . The following year , the Communist Party lost power altogether in multiparty parliamentary elections which had caused Vytautas Landsbergis to become the first non-Communist president of Lithuania since its forced incorporation into the USSR .

In 1054 , relations between the Eastern and Western traditions within the Christian Church reached a terminal crisis , known as the East -- West Schism . Although there was a formal declaration of institutional separation , on 16 July , when three papal legates entered the Hagia Sophia during Divine Liturgy on a Saturday afternoon and placed a bull of excommunication on the altar , the so - called Great Schism was actually the culmination of centuries of gradual separation .

The Islamic calendar employs the Hijri era whose epoch was retrospectively established as the Islamic New Year of AD 622 . During that year , Muhammad and his followers migrated from Mecca to Yathrib ( now Medina ) and established the first Muslim community ( ummah ) , an event commemorated as the Hijra . In the West , dates in this era are usually denoted AH ( Latin : Anno Hegirae , `` in the year of the Hijra '' ) in parallel with the Christian ( AD ) and Jewish eras ( AM ) . In Muslim countries , it is also sometimes denoted as H from its Arabic form ( سَنة هِجْريّة , abbreviated هـ ) . In English , years prior to the Hijra are reckoned as BH ( `` Before the Hijra '' ) .

The term Tyndale 's Bible is not strictly correct , because Tyndale never published a complete Bible . That task was completed by Miles Coverdale who supplemented Tyndale 's translations with his own to produce the first complete printed bible in English in 1535 . Prior to his execution Tyndale had only finished translating the entire New Testament and roughly half of the Old Testament . Of the latter , the Pentateuch , Jonah and a revised version of the book of Genesis were published during his lifetime . His other Old Testament works were first used in the creation of the Matthew Bible and also heavily influenced every major English translation of the Bible that followed .

Melinda lives with her husband , Jim Clancy ( David Conrad ) , and later their son Aiden ( Connor Gibbs ) . She owns a shop called `` Same as It Never Was Antiques '' . Ghosts seek Melinda 's help in relaying a message or completing a task that will put the spirit to rest , and allow them to cross over into the light . Those who died with unfinished business become earthbound and can not cross over , and Melinda , as their earthly representative , helps them to find peace . The show does not present the ghosts as having sinned ; rather it is the spirits ' own guilt that condemns them , and their own fear of judgment that keeps them from `` crossing over '' into an afterlife .

Each state chooses electors , equal in number to that state 's combined total of senators and representatives .

Electoral College (United States)

Each state chooses electors , equal in number to that state 's combined total of senators and representatives . There are a total of 538 electors , corresponding to the 435 representatives and 100 senators , plus the three electors for the District of Columbia as provided by the Twenty - third Amendment . The Constitution bars any federal official , elected or appointed , from being an elector . The Office of the Federal Register is charged with administering the Electoral College . Since the mid-19th century when all electors have been popularly chosen , the Electoral College has elected the candidate who received the most popular votes nationwide , except in four elections : 1876 , 1888 , 2000 , and 2016 . In 1824 , there were six states in which electors were legislatively appointed , rather than popularly elected , so the true national popular vote is uncertain ; the electors failed to select a winning candidate , so the matter was decided by the House of Representatives .

I Have Decided to Follow Jesus

It was written by Simon Marak , from Jorhat , Assam . However , according to Dr P. Job , the lyrics are based on the last words of Nokseng , a Garo man , a tribe from Meghalaya which then was in Assam , who along with his family decided to follow Jesus Christ in the middle of the 19th century through the efforts of an American Baptist missionary . Called to renounce his faith by the village chief , the convert declared , `` I have decided to follow Jesus . '' His two children were killed and in response to threats to his wife , he continued , `` Though none go with me , still I will follow . '' His wife was killed , and he was executed while singing , `` The cross before me , the world behind me . '' This display of faith is reported to have led to the conversion of the chief and others in the village . The fierce opposition is possible , as various tribes in that area were formerly renowned for head - hunting .
