British writers have challenged the choice of the word "mutiny" to describe the events. The British and colonial press along with contemporary European referred to the events under a number of titles the most common being the "Sepoy Mutiny" or the "Indian Mutiny". Contemporary 'anti-imperialists' viewed this term as propaganda, and pushed to characterize it as more than just the actions of a few mutinous native soldiers although the term "The Indian Insurrection" was used in the British and colonial press at the time. Karl Marx was the first Western scholar to call the 1857 revolt a "national revolt", though

Stranger Things Have Happened (Justin Guarini album) Stranger Things Have Happened is the second studio album of jazz standards by singer Justin Guarini that was released in 2005. Stephen Erlewine at AllMusic wrote that this album was the "American Idol" runner-up's attempt to reinvent himself after the failure of the movie "From Justin to Kelly". The result is "loungey, "Am-Idol"-styled vocal jazz, but "Stranger Things Have Happened" is vocal jazz all the same...Guarini has genuine, natural charisma as a supper club-styled singer, and that charisma when contrasted with his band's jazz chops has a nice, relaxed appeal."

Second term of the presidency of Ferdinand Marcos Ferdinand Marcos' second term as President of the Philippines began on December 30, 1969, as a result of his winning the 1969 Philippine presidential election nearly two months earlier on November 11, 1969. Marcos was the first and last president of the Third Philippine Republic to win a second full term. The end of Marcos' second term was supposed to be in December 1973, which would also have been the end of his presidency because the 1935 Constitution of the Philippines allowed him to have only two four-year terms.

Bill of rights. Australia is the only common law country with neither a constitutional nor federal legislative bill of rights to protect its citizens, although there is ongoing debate in many of Australia's states. In 1973, Federal Attorney - General Lionel Murphy introduced a human rights Bill into parliament, although it was never passed. In 1984, Senator Stephen Bunce drafted a Bill of Rights, but it was never introduced into parliament, and in 1985, Senator Lionel Bowen introduced a bill of rights, which was passed by the House of Representatives, but failed to pass the Senate. Former Australian Prime Minister John Howard has argued against a bill of rights for Australia on the grounds it would transfer power from elected politicians (populist politics) to unelected (constitutional) judges and bureaucrats. Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT) are the only states and territories to have a human rights Act. However, the principle of legality present in the Australian judicial system, seeks to ensure that legislation is interpreted so as not to interfere with basic human rights, unless legislation expressly intends to interfere.

Supported with subsidies from Britain, indigo was a leading export by 1750. Those and naval stores were exported in an extremely profitable shipping industry.

The selected children, aged between 6 and 8, came from disadvantaged families; the government planned for their adoption to integrate into the 'modern' Danish society with the aim of transforming the children into 'small Danes'. The surviving children lost their native language and culture, and suffered from the psychological trauma of being separated from their families most of their lives. Some of the children were returned to Greenland after a year, where they were placed into an orphanage in Nuuk, rather than being returned to their families. Others stayed in Denmark for the remainder of their lives. More than half

appreciation of “thick description.” Geertz applied thick description to anthropological studies (specifically his own 'interpretive anthropology'), urging anthropologists to consider the limitations placed upon them by their own cultural cosmologies when attempting to offer insight into the cultures of other people. He produced theory that had implications for other social sciences; for example, Geertz asserted that culture was essentially semiotic in nature, and this theory has implications for comparative political sciences. Max Weber and his interpretative social science are strongly present in Geertz’s work. Geertz himself argues for a “semiotic” concept of culture: “Believing, with Max Weber, that man is

An advantage of such a transfer is that it makes the use of a will unnecessary and eliminates the need to probate the asset. A disadvantage

peak, the outflux of potassium equals the influx of sodium, and the membrane does not change polarity. During repolarization, the sodium channels begin to become inactivated, causing a net efflux of potassium ions. This causes the membrane potential to drop down to its resting membrane potential of -100mV. Hyperpolarization occurs because the slow-acting potassium channels take longer to inactivate, so the membrane overshoots the resting potential. It gradually returns to resting potential and is ready for another action potential to occur. During the action potential before the hyperpolarization phase, the membrane is unresponsive to any stimulation. This inability to induce

In 1851, Stevens was one of the defense lawyers in the trial of 38 African-Americans and three

a situation where decreases in price lead to lower production, which in turn leads to lower wages and demand, which leads to further decreases in price. Since reductions in general price level are called deflation, a deflationary spiral occurs when reductions in price lead to a vicious circle, where a problem exacerbates its own cause . In science, this effect is also known as a positive feedback loop. Another economic example of this principle is a bank run. The Great Depression was regarded by some as a deflationary spiral. A deflationary spiral is the modern macroeconomic version of the general

The genetic health of hybrids tends to be higher. Healthy traits have been lost in many purebred dogs lines because many breeders of showdogs are more interested in conformation – the physical attributes of the dogs in relation to the breed standard – than in the health and working temperament for which the dog was originally bred. Populations are particularly vulnerable when the dogs bred are closely related. Inbreeding among purebreds has exposed various genetic

Pope John XXIII. Roncalli was summoned to the final ballot of the conclave at 4:00 pm. He was elected pope at 4:30 pm with a total of 38 votes. After the long pontificate of Pope Pius XII, the cardinals chose a man who – it was presumed because of his advanced age – would be a short-term or "stop-gap" pope. They wished to choose a candidate who would do little during the new pontificate. Upon his election, Cardinal Eugene Tisserant asked him the ritual questions of whether he would accept and if so, what name he would take for himself. Roncalli gave the first of his many surprises when he chose "John" as his regnal name. Roncalli's exact words were "I will be called John". This was the first time in over 500 years that this name had been chosen; previous popes had avoided its use since the time of the Antipope John XXIII during the Western Schism several centuries before.

death, "The Bells" is a heavily onomatopoeic poem known for its repetition. "The Beloved Physician" was written around April 1847 for Mary-Louise Shew, a nurse who also inspired Poe's more famous poem, "The Bells". The poem was originally ten stanzas long, although a version with nine stanzas was supposedly prepared by Poe for publication . It was never printed during his lifetime, and it now appears to be lost. Shew was able to recall about a tenth of a poem in a letter to editor John W.

where each extra neutron so far multiplies the half-life by a factor of 5 to 20. Nihonium is the first member of the 7p series of elements and the heaviest group 13 element on the periodic table, below boron, aluminium, gallium, indium, and thallium. All the group 13 elements except boron are metals, and nihonium is expected to follow suit. Nihonium is predicted to show many differences from its lighter homologues. The major reason for this is the spin–orbit (SO) interaction, which is especially strong for the superheavy elements, because their electrons move much faster than in lighter atoms, at


Weights and Measures Act (R.S. 1985) The "Weights and Measures Act" (R.S. 1985) (the "Act") is a Canadian law governing the units of measurements used in Canada.

per second. A similar analogy does not apply to the expression kg∙m∙ s because the units kg∙m in the numerator have no physical meaning like the numerators of distance and energy shown in these examples. The joule-second also appears as the unit of measure in classical mechanics for the angular momentum of a rotating object and in quantum mechanics within the definition of Planck's constant. Angular momentum is the product of an object’s moment of inertia, in units of kg∙m and its rotational velocity in units of m∙s∙m, or simply s (i.e., Hz). This product of moment of inertia and

forecasting the available resource is important in these applications Direct insolation Direct insolation is the solar insolation measured at a given location on Earth with a surface element perpendicular to the Sun's rays, excluding diffuse insolation (the solar radiation that is scattered or reflected by atmospheric components in the sky). Direct insolation is equal to the solar irradiance above the atmosphere minus the atmospheric losses due to absorption and scattering. While the solar irradiance above the atmosphere varies with the Earth-Sun distance and solar cycles, the losses depend on the time of day (length of light's path through the atmosphere

+ 1) was an inversion pair for σ) or more (in case ("i", "i" + 1) was not an inversion pair). Then apply the inverses of "T*", "T*", ..., "T"* in the same way, "unraveling" the permutation "σ". At the end we get the identity permutation, whose "N" (see above) is zero. This means that the original "N"("σ") less "k"' is even and also "N"("σ") less "k" is even (addition modulo two is independent of sign). We can do the same thing with the other decomposition, "Q*"..."Q"*, and it will turn out that the original "N"("σ") less "m" is even.

Indigenous peoples of the Americas. While technically referring to the era before Christopher Columbus' voyages of 1492 to 1504, in practice the term usually includes the history of American indigenous cultures until Europeans either conquered or significantly influenced them, even if this happened decades or even centuries after Columbus' initial landing. "Pre-Columbian" is used especially often in the context of discussing the great indigenous civilizations of the Americas, such as those of Mesoamerica (the Olmec, the Toltec, the Teotihuacano, the Zapotec, the Mixtec, the Aztec, and the Maya civilizations) and those of the Andes (Inca Empire, Moche culture, Muisca Confederation, Cañaris).

The Witch Buffaloes kept the local people and wildlife away from their spring, so the indigenous people couldn't hunt or collect salt from the lick. Then one day the Little People came and killed the Witch Buffaloes, making the area safe. The bones of the Witch Buffalo were left in place by the spring, which later shrank and became bitter. This is how the Wyandot people explained the area's large fossil bones and salty water. The large Pleistocene buffalo fossils of the Ohio River area would have been recognizable
