"Tug of war at the Summer Olympics"
Tug of war at the Summer Olympics Tug of war was contested as a team event in the Summer Olympics at every Olympiad from 1900 to 1920. Originally the competition was entered by groups called clubs. A country could enter more than one club in the competition, making it possible for one country to earn multiple medals. This happened in 1904, when the United States won all three medals, and in 1908 when the podium was occupied by three British teams. Sweden was also among the top countries with two medals, one as a member of the mixed team. During

Question: the rule of the three rightly guided caliphs was called

Answer: Rashidun

Rashidun
Rashidun The Rashidun"" Caliphs (Rightly Guided Caliphs; '), often simply called, collectively, """"'the ""Rashidun"", is a term used in Sunni Islam to refer to the 30-year reign of the first four caliphs (successors) following the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammadﷺ, namely: Abu Bakr, Umar, Uthman ibn Affan, and Ali of the Rashidun Caliphate, the first caliphate. The concept of ""Rightly Guided Caliphs"" originated with the later Abbasid Caliphate based in Baghdad. It is a reference to the Sunni imperative ""Hold firmly to my example (""sunnah"") and that of the Rightly Guided Caliphs"" (Ibn Majah, Abu Dawood). The first four

Answer: Rashidun

"Rashidun Caliphate"
Rashidun Caliphate The Rashidun Caliphate (, '; 632–661) was the first of the four major caliphates established after the death of the Islamic Prophet Muhammad. It was ruled by the first four successive caliphs (successors) of Muhammad after his death in 632 CE (AH 11). These caliphs are collectively known in Sunni Islam as the ""Rashidun"", or ""Rightly Guided"" caliphs ( '). This term is not used in Shia Islam as Shia Muslims do not consider the rule of the first three caliphs as legitimate. The Rashidun Caliphate is characterized by a twenty-five year period of rapid military expansion, followed

Answer: Rashidun

"Criticism of Islam"
including the period ruled by the four Rashidun caliphs (often called the ""rightly guided caliphs)"", Islamic law permitted citizens to freely express their views, including criticism of Islam and religious authorities, without fear of persecution. As such, there have been several notable critics and skeptics of Islam that arose from within the Islamic world itself. In tenth and eleventh-century Syria there lived a blind poet called Al-Ma'arri. He became well known for a poetry that was affected by a ""pervasive pessimism."" He labeled religions in general as ""noxious weeds"" and said that Islam does not have a monopoly on truth.

Shia Muslims, the first three of the four were usurpers. Accepted traditions of both Sunni and Shia Muslims detail disagreements and tensions between the four rightly guided caliphs. They were called the ""Rightly-Guided"" because they have been seen as model Muslim leaders by Sunni Muslims. This terminology came into a general use around the world, since Sunni Islam has been the dominant Islamic tradition, and for a long time it has been considered the most authoritative source of information about Islam in the Western world. They were all close companions of Muhammad, and his relatives: the daughters of Abu Bakr

The first four caliphs are known among Sunnis as the Rashidun or ""Rightly-Guided Ones"". Sunni recognition includes the aforementioned Abu Bakr as the first, Umar as the second, Uthman as the third, and Ali as the fourth. Sunnis recognised different rulers as the caliph, though they did not include anyone in the list of the rightly guided ones or ""Rashidun"" after the murder of Ali, until the caliphate was constitutionally abolished in Turkey on 3 March 1924.

the Rashidun, meaning the Rightly Guided Caliphs, because they are believed to have followed the Qur'an and the sunnah (example) of Muhammad in all things. Traditional Sunni Islamic lawyers agree that ""shura"", loosely translated as “consultation of the people”, is a function of the caliphate. The Majlis al-Shura advise the caliph. The importance of this is premised by the following verses of the Qur'an: The majlis is also the means to elect a new caliph. Al-Mawardi has written that members of the majlis should satisfy three conditions: they must be just, they must have enough knowledge to distinguish a good

Uthman Uthman ibn Affan (), also known in English by the Turkish and Persian rendering Osman (579 – 17 June 656), was a second cousin, son-in-law and notable companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad the third of the ""Rashidun"", or ""Rightly Guided Caliphs"". Born into a prominent Meccan clan, Banu Umayya of the Quraysh tribe, he played a major role in early Islamic history. When Caliph Umar ibn al-Khattab died in office aged 59/60 years, ʿUthmān, aged 64/65 years, succeeded him and was the second-oldest to rule as Caliph.

Furthermore, according to other hadiths in Sunan Abu Dawood and Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal, towards the end times, the Rightly Guided Caliphate will be restored once again by God. Shortly before his death, Muhammad called all the Muslims who had accompanied him on the final Hajj (pilgrimage) to gather around at a place known as Ghadir Khumm. Muhammad gave a long sermon, part of which states: This event has been narrated by both Shia and Sunni sources. Further, after the sermon, Abu Bakr, Umar,

"Criticism of Islamism"
Islam was in existence. Abul Ala Maududi indicates it was the era of the Prophet and the 30-year reign of the four ""rightly guided caliphs"" (""Rashidun""). Qutb's brother Muhammad thought the only time ""Islam was ... enforced in its true form"" was for fifteen years, during the first two caliphs, plus three years from 717 to 720 A.D. For the Shiite Ayatollah Khomeini, the five-year reign of Caliph Ali was the truly Islamic era Muslims should imitate. Meddeb protests that this excludes not only any non-Muslim culture, but most of Muslim history including the Golden Age of Islam: ""How can

It was subsequently transformed into the caliphate by Muhammad's disciples, who were known as the Rightly Guided (""Rashidun"") Caliphs (632–661 CE). The Islamic State significantly expanded under the Umayyad Caliphate (661–750) and consequently the Abbasid Caliphate (750–1258). The essence or guiding principles of an Islamic government or Islamic state, is the concept of ""Al-Shura"". Different scholars have different understandings or thoughts, with regard to the concept al-Shura. However, most Muslim scholars are of the opinion that Islamic al-Shura

Sunni view that the head of state or governor should be chosen based on lineage alone. This argument is advanced by Sunni Muslims that Muhammad's companion Abu Bakr was elected by the community, and this was the proper procedure. They further argue that a caliph is ideally chosen by election or community consensus. The caliphate became a hereditary office or the prize of the strongest general after the Rashidun caliphate. However, Sunni Muslims believe this was after the 'rightly guided' caliphate ended (Rashidun caliphate). Abu Bakr Al-Baqillani has said that the leader of the Muslims simply should be from the

Itai-itai disease (イタイイタイ病 itai-itai byō, ""it hurts-it hurts disease"") was the name given to the mass cadmium poisoning of Toyama Prefecture, Japan, starting around 1912. The term ""itai-itai disease"" was coined by locals for the severe pains (Japanese: 痛い itai) that people with itai-itai disease felt in the spine and joints.

This disease was given the name ""itai-itai"" because this was the phrase victims would frequently cry out; it translates into ""it-hurts it-hurts disease"". The cause of itai-itai disease was determined to be cadmium poisoning in the drinking water from the Jinzū River basin. The source of cadmium was discovered to be from Mitsui Mining and Smelting Company. Mitsui Mining began to discharge cadmium into the Jinzū River in 1910. The cadmium poisoned the

These studies are pointing to damage of the mitochondria of kidney cells by cadmium as a key factor of the disease. Itai-itai disease was caused by cadmium poisoning due to mining in Toyama Prefecture. The earliest records of mining for gold in the area date back to 1710. Regular mining for silver started in 1589, and soon thereafter, mining for lead, copper, and zinc began. Increased demand for raw materials during the Russo-Japanese War and World War

In 1968, the Ministry of Health and Welfare issued a statement about the symptoms of ""itai-itai"" disease caused by the cadmium poisoning. The reduction of the levels of cadmium in the water supply reduced the number of new cases; no new case has been recorded since 1946. While the people with the worst symptoms came from Toyama prefecture, the government found patients with itai-itai disease in five other

This meant that they had to ensure the poisoned land was returned to a safe and cultivable state. The first report of Minamata disease originated in Minamata in Kumamoto Prefecture in the year 1956. Many of the earliest patients became insane from the symptoms and in some cases died within a month of being afflicted.

The causes of the poisoning were not well understood and, up to 1946, it was thought to be simply a regional disease or a type of bacterial infection. Medical tests started in the 1940s and 1950s, searching for the cause of the disease. Initially, it was expected to be lead poisoning due to the lead mining upstream.

From 1910 to 1945, the mine operators released cadmium from the processing plant into the local water. This cadmium caused what the locals called itai-itai disease. The disease caused weakening of the bones and extreme pain. Although mining operations have ceased, the smelting plant continues to process zinc, lead and silver from other mines and recycling.

Due to the cadmium poisoning, the fish in the river started to die, and the rice irrigated with river water did not grow well. The cadmium and other heavy metals accumulated at the bottom of the river and in the water of the river. This water was then used to irrigate the rice fields. The rice absorbed heavy metals, especially the cadmium. The cadmium accumulated in the people eating contaminated rice.

contaminated the Jinzū River in Japan with cadmium and traces of other toxic metals. As a consequence, cadmium accumulated in the rice crops along the riverbanks downstream of the mines. Some members of the local agricultural communities consumed the contaminated rice and developed itai-itai disease and renal abnormalities, including proteinuria and glucosuria. The victims of this poisoning were almost exclusively post-menopausal women with low iron and other mineral body stores. Similar general population cadmium exposures in other parts of the world have not resulted in the same health problems because the populations maintained sufficient iron and other mineral levels.

Production increased even more before World War II. Starting in 1910 and continuing through 1945, cadmium was released in significant quantities by mining operations, and the disease first appeared around 1912. Prior to World War II, the mining, controlled by the Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co., Ltd., increased to satisfy the wartime demand.

Question: in what part of the digestive tube do you expect the initial digestion of starch

Answer: the mouth

"Extracellular digestion"
initial components of the gastrointestinal tract are the mouth and the pharynx, which is the common passage of the oral and nasal cavities. The pharynx leads to the esophagus, a muscular tube that delivers food to the stomach, where some preliminary digestion occurs; here, the digestion is extracellular. From the stomach, food passes to the small intestine, where a battery of digestive enzymes continue the digestive process. The products of digestion are absorbed across the wall of the intestine into the bloodstream. What remains is emptied into the large intestine, where some of the remaining water and minerals are absorbed;


Question: in what part of the digestive tube do you expect the initial digestion of starch

Answer: the mouth

"Human digestive system"
moistens and softens food, and along with the chewing action of the teeth, transforms the food into a smooth bolus. The bolus is further helped by the lubrication provided by the saliva in its passage from the mouth into the esophagus. Also of importance is the presence in saliva of the digestive enzymes amylase and lipase. Amylase starts to work on the starch in carbohydrates, breaking it down into the simple sugars of maltose and dextrose that can be further broken down in the small intestine. Saliva in the mouth can account for 30% of this initial starch digestion. Lipase


Question: in what part of the digestive tube do you expect the initial digestion of starch

Answer: the mouth

Digestion
small molecules the body can use. In the human digestive system, food enters the mouth and mechanical digestion of the food starts by the action of mastication (chewing), a form of mechanical digestion, and the wetting contact of saliva. Saliva, a liquid secreted by the salivary glands, contains salivary amylase, an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food; the saliva also contains mucus, which lubricates the food, and hydrogen carbonate, which provides the ideal conditions of pH (alkaline) for amylase to work. After undergoing mastication and starch digestion, the food will be in the form of a
