Like the whole series , this season is a competition to see which of the twenty - two contestants will survive and last the longest . This is because the contestants are brutally tortured along the way through the intense challenges they are given . Challenges are sometimes based on other reality shows like Fear Factor and Survivor . All of this is so that the winner of the season ( the one to last the longest on the island and not get eliminated ) , will win a small fortune of C $ 100,000 and cheesy fame . Eliminated contestants are sent packing toward the Dock of Shame and must ride the Boat of Losers off the island .       `` Total Drama Action ''   27   Todd Kauffman / Mark Thornton   15   January 11 , 2009 ( 2009 - 01 - 11 )     Total Drama Action is the second season of the series .

However , some characters from the original cast still have cameo appearances throughout the season .

Question: who explored waters of cuba the bahamas and hispaniola

History of the Bahamas

In 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed from Spain on his first voyage with three ships , the Niña , the Pinta , and the flagship , Santa Maria , seeking a direct route to Asia . On 12 October 1492 Columbus reached an island in the Bahamas and claimed it for Spain , an event long regarded by Europeans as the ' discovery ' of America . This island was called Guanahani by the Lucayan , and San Salvador by the Spanish . The identity of the first American landfall by Columbus remains controversial , but many authors accept Samuel E. Morison 's identification of Columbus ' San Salvador as what was later called Watling ( or Watling 's ) Island . Its name has been officially changed to San Salvador . Columbus visited several other islands in the Bahamas before sailing to present - day Cuba and afterwards to Hispaniola .

Question: explain the function of the peripheral nervous system

Peripheral nervous system

The peripheral nervous system ( PNS ) is one of the two components of the nervous system , the other part is the central nervous system ( CNS ) . The PNS consists of the nerves and ganglia outside the brain and spinal cord . The main function of the PNS is to connect the CNS to the limbs and organs , essentially serving as a relay between the brain and spinal cord and the rest of the body . Unlike the CNS , the PNS is not protected by the vertebral column and skull , or by the blood -- brain barrier , which leaves it exposed to toxins and mechanical injuries . The peripheral nervous system is divided into the somatic nervous system and the autonomic nervous system . In the somatic nervous system , the cranial nerves are part of the PNS with the exception of the optic nerve ( cranial nerve II ) , along with the retina . The second cranial nerve is not a true peripheral nerve but a tract of the diencephalon . Cranial nerve ganglia originated in the CNS . However , the remaining ten cranial nerve axons extend beyond the brain and are therefore considered part of the PNS . The autonomic nervous system is an involuntary control of smooth muscle and glands . The connection between CNS and organs allows the system to be in two different functional states : sympathetic and parasympathetic .

Question: a type of basic rock popular in the 1980s

Rock music

By the late 1960s `` classic rock '' period , a number of distinct rock music subgenres had emerged , including hybrids like blues rock , folk rock , country rock , raga rock , and jazz - rock , many of which contributed to the development of psychedelic rock , which was influenced by the countercultural psychedelic and hippie scene . New genres that emerged included progressive rock , which extended the artistic elements ; glam rock , which highlighted showmanship and visual style ; and the diverse and enduring subgenre of heavy metal , which emphasized volume , power , and speed . In the second half of the 1970s , punk rock reacted by producing stripped - down , energetic social and political critiques . Punk was an influence in the 1980s on new wave , post-punk and eventually alternative rock . From the 1990s alternative rock began to dominate rock music and break into the mainstream in the form of grunge , Britpop , and indie rock . Further fusion subgenres have since emerged , including pop punk , electronic rock , rap rock , and rap metal , as well as conscious attempts to revisit rock 's history , including the garage rock / post-punk and synth - pop revivals at the beginning of the 2000s .

Question: where did the rulers of the qing dynasty originate

Qing dynasty

The dynasty was founded by the Jurchen Aisin Gioro clan in Manchuria . In the late sixteenth century , Nurhaci , originally a Ming vassal , began organizing `` Banners '' , military - social units that included Jurchen , Han Chinese , and Mongol elements . Nurhaci formed the Jurchen clans into a unified entity , which he renamed as the Manchus . By 1636 , his son Hong Taiji began driving Ming forces out of Liaodong and declared a new dynasty , the Qing . In 1644 , peasant rebels led by Li Zicheng conquered the Ming capital , Beijing . Rather than serve them , Ming general Wu Sangui made an alliance with the Manchus and opened the Shanhai Pass to the Banner Armies led by the regent Prince Dorgon , who defeated the rebels and seized the capital . Resistance from the Southern Ming and the Revolt of the Three Feudatories led by Wu Sangui extended the conquest of China proper for nearly four decades and was not completed until 1683 under the Kangxi Emperor ( r . 1661 -- 1722 ) . The Ten Great Campaigns of the Qianlong Emperor from the 1750s to the 1790s extended Qing control into Inner Asia . The early rulers maintained their Manchu ways , and while their title was Emperor , they used `` Bogd khaan '' to the Mongols and they were patrons of Tibetan Buddhism . They governed using Confucian styles and institutions of bureaucratic government and retained the imperial examinations to recruit Han Chinese to work under or in parallel with Manchus . They also adapted the ideals of the tributary system in dealing with neighboring territories .

Question: what is wifi b/g/n

IEEE 802.11

802.11 b and 802.11 g use the 2.4 GHz ISM band , operating in the United States under Part 15 of the U.S. Federal Communications Commission Rules and Regulations . Because of this choice of frequency band , 802.11 b and g equipment may occasionally suffer interference from microwave ovens , cordless telephones , and Bluetooth devices . 802.11 b and 802.11 g control their interference and susceptibility to interference by using direct - sequence spread spectrum ( DSSS ) and orthogonal frequency - division multiplexing ( OFDM ) signaling methods , respectively . 802.11 a uses the 5 GHz U-NII band , which , for much of the world , offers at least 23 non-overlapping channels rather than the 2.4 GHz ISM frequency band offering only three non-overlapping channels , where other adjacent channels overlap -- see list of WLAN channels . Better or worse performance with higher or lower frequencies ( channels ) may be realized , depending on the environment . 802.11 n can use either the 2.4 GHz or the 5 GHz band ; 802.11 ac uses only the 5 GHz band .

Bruce Brooks held that Holden 's attitude remains unchanged at story 's end , implying no maturation , thus differentiating the novel from young adult fiction . In contrast , Louis Menand thought that teachers assign the novel because of the optimistic ending , to teach adolescent readers that `` alienation is just a phase . '' While Brooks maintained that Holden acts his age , Menand claimed that Holden thinks as an adult , given his ability to accurately perceive people and their motives . Others highlight the dilemma of Holden 's state , in between adolescence and adulthood . Holden is quick to become emotional . `` I felt sorry as hell for ... '' is a phrase he often uses . It is often said that Holden changes at the end , when he watches Phoebe on the carousel , and he talks about the golden ring and how it 's good for kids to try and grab it .

Question: what is the name of the weapon the grim reaper carries

Scythe

The Dictionary of Greek and Roman Antiquities of Sir William Smith claims that the scythe , known in Latin as the falx foenaria as opposed to the sickle , the falx messoria , was used by the ancient Romans. According to ancient Greek mythology it was believed that Gaea the Greek goddess mother of Titans gave ' a sickle was made out of the strongest metal ' to her youngest son ' Kronos ' who is also youngest of Titans ( also known as God of Harvest ) to seek vengeance against her Husband Ouranos for Torturing their oldest sons . To illustrate this , Smith cites an image of Saturn holding a scythe , from an ancient Italian cameo . The Grim Reaper and the Greek Titan Cronus were often depicted carrying or wielding a scythe . According to Jack Herer and `` Flesh of The Gods '' ( Emboden , W.A. , Jr. , Praeger Press , NY , 1974 . ) ; the ancient Scythians grew hemp and harvested it with a hand reaper that we still call a scythe .

Question: where do actors stay when filming on location

Location shooting

Location shooting often takes place close to the studio ; in Hollywood films , this region is delineated in union agreements and is known as the studio zone . Many location shoots , however , are far from the home studio , sometimes on the other side of the world . In these instances , location shooting can provide significant economic development benefits to the area in which they are shot . Cast and crew heavily rely upon local facilities such as catering , transportation , and accommodations . A film that becomes a blockbuster hit can introduce movie audiences around the world to a visually breathtaking location that they were previously unaware of , as the Lord of the Rings trilogy did for New Zealand . This can boost tourism for years or even decades .

Overshoot (population)

In population dynamics and population ecology , overshoot occurs when a population temporarily exceeds the long term carrying capacity of its environment . The environment usually has mechanisms in place to prevent overshoot . For example , plants are only able to regenerate and regrow a few times after being consumed before completely dying off . The consequence of overshoot is called a collapse , a crash or a die - off in which there is a decline in population density . The entire sequence or trajectory undergone by the population and its environment together is often termed ' overshoot - and - collapse ' .

Question: what do the colors and symbols on the mexican flag represent

Flag of Mexico

Red , white , and green are the colors of the national liberation army in Mexico . The central emblem is the Mexican coat of arms , based on the Aztec symbol for Tenochtitlan ( now Mexico City ) , the center of the Aztec empire . It recalls the legend of an eagle sitting on a cactus while devouring a serpent that signaled to the Aztecs where to found their city , Tenochtitlan . A ribbon in the national colors is at the bottom of the coat of arms . Throughout history , the flag has changed several times , as the design of the coat of arms and the length - width ratios of the flag have been modified . However , the coat of arms has had the same features throughout : an eagle , holding a serpent in its talon , is perched on top of a prickly pear cactus ; the cactus is situated on a rock that rises above a lake . The coat of arms is derived from an Aztec legend that their gods told them to build a city where they spot an eagle on a nopal eating a serpent , which is now Mexico City .

Question: where are the cones in the eye located

Cone cell

Cone cells , or cones , are one of three types of photoreceptor cells in the retina of mammalian eyes ( e.g. the human eye ) . They are responsible for color vision and function best in relatively bright light , as opposed to rod cells , which work better in dim light . Cone cells are densely packed in the fovea centralis , a 0.3 mm diameter rod - free area with very thin , densely packed cones which quickly reduce in number towards the periphery of the retina . There are about six to seven million cones in a human eye and are most concentrated towards the macula . The commonly cited figure of six million cone cells in the human eye was found by Osterberg in 1935 . Oyster 's textbook ( 1999 ) cites work by Curcio et al. ( 1990 ) indicating an average close to 4.5 million cone cells and 90 million rod cells in the human retina .

Question: what is the role of the gut flora

Gut flora

The relationship between some gut flora and humans is not merely commensal ( a non-harmful coexistence ) , but rather a mutualistic relationship . Some human gut microorganisms benefit the host by fermenting dietary fiber into short - chain fatty acids ( SCFAs ) , such as acetic acid and butyric acid , which are then absorbed by the host . Intestinal bacteria also play a role in synthesizing vitamin B and vitamin K as well as metabolizing bile acids , sterols , and xenobiotics . The systemic importance of the SCFAs and other compounds they produce are like hormones and the gut flora itself appears to function like an endocrine organ , and dysregulation of the gut flora has been correlated with a host of inflammatory and autoimmune conditions .

Question: where is connective tissue found in the body

Connective tissue

Connective tissue ( CT ) is one of the four basic types of animal tissue , along with epithelial tissue , muscle tissue , and nervous tissue . It develops from the mesoderm . Connective tissue is found in between other tissues everywhere in the body , including the nervous system . In the central nervous system , the three outer membranes ( the meninges ) that envelop the brain and spinal cord are composed of connective tissue . They support and protect the body . All connective tissue consists of three main components : fibers ( elastic and collagenous fibers ) , ground substance and cells . Not all authorities include blood or lymph as connective tissue because they lack the fiber component . All are immersed in the body water .

Question: when does april fools day end at noon

April Fools' Day

In Poland , prima aprilis ( `` 1 April '' in Latin ) as a day of jokes is a centuries - long tradition . It is a day in which many jokes are told ; various hoaxes -- sometimes very sophisticated -- are prepared by people , media ( which often cooperate to make the `` information '' more credible ) and even public institutions . Serious activities are usually avoided , and generally every word said on April 1st can be a lie , or a joke . The conviction for this is so strong that the Polish anti-Turkish alliance with Leopold I signed on April 1 , 1683 , was backdated to March 31 . However , for some in Poland prima aprilis ends at noon of April 1st , and prima aprilis jokes after that hour are considered inappropriate and not classy .

Question: what stage of the star life cycle is the sun in

Sun

The Sun is about halfway through its main - sequence stage , during which nuclear fusion reactions in its core fuse hydrogen into helium . Each second , more than four million tonnes of matter are converted into energy within the Sun 's core , producing neutrinos and solar radiation . At this rate , the Sun has so far converted around 100 times the mass of Earth into energy , about 0.03 % of the total mass of the Sun . The Sun will spend a total of approximately 10 billion years as a main - sequence star . The Sun is gradually becoming hotter during its time on the main sequence , because the helium atoms in the core occupy less volume than the hydrogen atoms that were fused . The core is therefore shrinking , allowing the outer layers of the Sun to move closer to the centre and experience a stronger gravitational force , according to the inverse - square law . This stronger force increases the pressure on the core , which is resisted by a gradual increase in the rate at which fusion occurs . This process speeds up as the core gradually becomes denser . It is estimated that the Sun has become 30 % brighter in the last 4.5 billion years . At present , it is increasing in brightness by about 1 % every 100 million years .
