Classical conditioning was started by Ivan Pavlov, a psychologist. He used dogs to prove that a being can be conditioned to do something, this means that they learn to do some â¦ thing when one things occurs. In his dogs, he gave the dogs meat powder every time a bell was rung.
USA purchased Alaska from Russia in 1867 for $7,200,000. The USA agreed to buy Alaska and Russia agreed to sell it primarly because the US evaluation of the value of Alaska at that time was higher than the agreed price, while that of Russia was lower than that of the purchase price.
New England is a geographical region comprising six states of the northeast United States : Connecticut , Maine , Massachusetts , New Hampshire , Rhode Island , and Vermont . It is bordered by the state of New York to the west and south , and the Canadian provinces of New Brunswick and Quebec to the northeast and north , respectively . The Atlantic Ocean is to the east and southeast , and Long Island Sound is to the south . Boston , the capital of Massachusetts , is New England 's largest city . The largest metropolitan area is Greater Boston , which also includes Worcester -LRB- the second-largest city in both Massachusetts and New England -RRB- , Manchester -LRB- the largest city in New Hampshire -RRB- , and Providence -LRB- the capital and largest city of Rhode Island -RRB- , with nearly a third of the entire region 's population . In 1620 , Puritan Separatist Pilgrims from England first settled in the region , forming the Plymouth Colony , the second successful English settlement in the Americas , following the Jamestown Settlement in Virginia founded in 1607 . Ten years later , more Puritans settled north of Plymouth Colony in Boston , thus forming Massachusetts Bay Colony . Over the next 126 years , people in the region fought in four French and Indian Wars , until the British and their Iroquois allies defeated the French and their Algonquin allies in North America . In 1692 , the town of Salem , Massachusetts and surrounding areas experienced one of the most infamous cases of mass hysteria in the history of the Western Hemisphere , the Salem witch trials . In the late 18th century , political leaders from the New England Colonies known as the Sons of Liberty initiated resistance to Britain 's efforts to impose new taxes without the consent of the colonists . The Boston Tea Party was a protest to which Britain responded with a series of punitive laws stripping Massachusetts of self-government , which were termed the `` Intolerable Acts '' by the colonists . The confrontation led to the first battles of the American Revolutionary War in 1775 , and the expulsion of the British authorities from the region in spring 1776 . The region played a prominent role in the movement to abolish slavery in the United States , and was the first region of the U.S. transformed by the Industrial Revolution , centered on the Blackstone and Merrimack river valleys . The physical geography of New England is diverse for such a small area ; southeastern New England is covered by a narrow coastal plain , while the western and northern regions are dominated by the rolling hills and worn-down peaks of the northern end of the Appalachian Mountains . With the Atlantic fall line lying so close to the coast , numerous industrial cities were able to take advantage of water power along the numerous rivers , such as the Connecticut River , which bisects the region from north to south . Each state is principally subdivided into small incorporated municipalities known as towns , many of which are governed by town meetings . The only unincorporated areas in the region exist in the sparsely populated northern regions of Maine , New Hampshire , and Vermont . The region is one of the U.S. Census Bureau 's nine regional divisions and the only multi-state region with clear , consistent boundaries . It maintains a strong sense of cultural identity , although the terms of this identity are often contrasted , combining Puritanism with liberalism , agrarian life with industry , and isolation with immigration .
protected mode Protected mode is a mode of program operation in a computer with an Intel-based microprocessor in which the program is restricted to addressing a specific contiguous area of 640 kilobytes. Intel's original PC microprocessor, the 8088, provided a one megabyte (1 Mbyte) random access memory ( RAM ). The memory was divided into several areas for basic input/output system data, signals from your display, and other system information. The remainder or 640 kilobytes of contiguous space was left for the operating system and application programs. The 8088 ensured that any instruction issued by a program running in protected mode would not be able to address space outside of this contiguous 640 kilobytes. Typically, much operating system code and almost all application programs run in protected mode to ensure that essential data is not unintentionally overwritten.

Real mode is program operation in which an instruction can address any space within the 1 megabyte of RAM. Typically, a program running in real mode is one that needs to get to and use or update system data and can be trusted to know how to do this. Such a program is usually part of the operating system or a special application subsystem. As new microprocessors (such as the 80386) with larger RAM followed the 8088, DOS continued to preserve the 640 kilobyte addressing limitation so that newly-written application programs could continue to run on both the old as well as new microprocessors. Several companies developed DOS "extenders" that allowed DOS applications to be freed from the 640K constraint by inserting memory management code into the application. Microsoft developed the DOS Protected Mode Interface to go with a DOS extender included with Windows 3.0 (which was itself a DOS application). Microsoft later gave the standard to an industry organization, the DPMI Committee. Today's personal computers, using microprocessors that succeeded the 8088, typically contain eight or more megabytes of RAM. Today's operating systems (including the latest DOS versions) come with extended memory management that frees the programmer from the original addressing constraints.

Diagnosis Diagnosis Symptoms of type 1 diabetes often appear suddenly and are often the reason for checking blood sugar levels. Because symptoms of other types of diabetes and prediabetes come on more gradually or may not be evident, the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has recommended screening guidelines. The ADA recommends that the following people be screened for diabetes: Anyone with a body mass index higher than 25, regardless of age, who has additional risk factors, such as high blood pressure, a sedentary lifestyle, a history of polycystic ovary syndrome, having delivered a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds, a history of diabetes in pregnancy, high cholesterol levels, a history of heart disease, and having a close relative with diabetes. Anyone older than age 45 is advised to receive an initial blood sugar screening, and then, if the results are normal, to be screened every three years thereafter. Tests for type 1 and type 2 diabetes and prediabetes Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test. This blood test indicates your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. It measures the percentage of blood sugar attached to hemoglobin, the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. The higher your blood sugar levels, the more hemoglobin you'll have with sugar attached. An A1C level of 6.5 percent or higher on two separate tests indicates that you have diabetes. An A1C between 5.7 and 6.4 percent indicates prediabetes. Below 5.7 is considered normal. If the A1C test results aren't consistent, the test isn't available, or if you have certain conditions that can make the A1C test inaccurate — such as if you're pregnant or have an uncommon form of hemoglobin (known as a hemoglobin variant) — your doctor may use the following tests to diagnose diabetes: Random blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken at a random time. Regardless of when you last ate, a random blood sugar level of 200 milligrams per deciliter (mg/d L) — 11.1 millimoles per liter (mmol/L) — or higher suggests diabetes. Fasting blood sugar test. A blood sample will be taken after an overnight fast. A fasting blood sugar level less than 100 mg/d L (5.6 mmol/L) is normal. A fasting blood sugar level from 100 to 125 mg/d L (5.6 to 6.9 mmol/L) is considered prediabetes. If it's 126 mg/d L (7 mmol/L) or higher on two separate tests, you have diabetes. Oral glucose tolerance test. For this test, you fast overnight, and the fasting blood sugar level is measured. Then you drink a sugary liquid, and blood sugar levels are tested periodically for the next two hours. A blood sugar level less than 140 mg/d L (7.8 mmol/L) is normal. A reading of more than 200 mg/d L (11.1 mmol/L) after two hours indicates diabetes. A reading between 140 and 199 mg/d L (7.8 mmol/L and 11.0 mmol/L) indicates prediabetes. If type 1 diabetes is suspected, your urine will be tested to look for the presence of a byproduct produced when muscle and fat tissue are used for energy when the body doesn't have enough insulin to use the available glucose (ketones). Your doctor will also likely run a test to see if you have the destructive immune system cells associated with type 1 diabetes called autoantibodies. Tests for gestational diabetes Your doctor will likely evaluate your risk factors for gestational diabetes early in your pregnancy: If you're at high risk of gestational diabetes — for example, if you were obese at the start of your pregnancy, you had gestational diabetes during a previous pregnancy, or you have a mother, father, sibling or child with diabetes — your doctor may test for diabetes at your first prenatal visit. If you're at average risk of gestational diabetes, you'll likely have a screening test for gestational diabetes sometime during your second trimester — typically between 24 and 28 weeks of pregnancy. Your doctor may use the following screening tests: Initial glucose challenge test. You'll begin the glucose challenge test by drinking a syrupy glucose solution. One hour later, you'll have a blood test to measure your blood sugar level. A blood sugar level below 140 mg/d L (7.2 to 7.8 mmol/L) is usually considered normal on a glucose challenge test, although this may vary at specific clinics or labs. If your blood sugar level is higher than normal, it only means you have a higher risk of gestational diabetes. Your doctor will order a follow-up test to determine if you have gestational diabetes. Follow-up glucose tolerance testing. For the follow-up test, you'll be asked to fast overnight and then have your fasting blood sugar level measured. Then you'll drink another sweet solution — this one containing a higher concentration of glucose — and your blood sugar level will be checked every hour for a period of three hours. If at least two of the blood sugar readings are higher than the normal values established for each of the three hours of the test, you'll be diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Treatment Depending on what type of diabetes you have, blood sugar monitoring, insulin and oral medications may play a role in your treatment. Eating a healthy diet, maintaining a healthy weight and participating in regular activity also are important factors in managing diabetes. Treatments for all types of diabetes An important part of managing diabetes — as well as your overall health — is maintaining a healthy weight through a healthy diet and exercise plan: Healthy eating. Contrary to popular perception, there's no specific diabetes diet. You'll need to center your diet on more fruits, vegetables and whole grains — foods that are high in nutrition and fiber and low in fat and calories — and cut down on animal products, refined carbohydrates and sweets. In fact, it's the best eating plan for the entire family. Sugary foods are OK once in a while, as long as they're counted as part of your meal plan. Yet understanding what and how much to eat can be a challenge. A registered dietitian can help you create a meal plan that fits your health goals, food preferences and lifestyle. This will likely include carbohydrate counting, especially if you have type 1 diabetes. Physical activity. Everyone needs regular aerobic exercise, and people who have diabetes are no exception. Exercise lowers your blood sugar level by moving sugar into your cells, where it's used for energy. Exercise also increases your sensitivity to insulin, which means your body needs less insulin to transport sugar to your cells. Get your doctor's OK to exercise. Then choose activities you enjoy, such as walking, swimming or biking. What's most important is making physical activity part of your daily routine. Aim for at least 30 minutes or more of aerobic exercise most days of the week. If you haven't been active for a while, start slowly and build up gradually. Treatments for type 1 and type 2 diabetes Treatment for type 1 diabetes involves insulin injections or the use of an insulin pump, frequent blood sugar checks, and carbohydrate counting. Treatment of type 2 diabetes primarily involves monitoring of your blood sugar, along with diabetes medications, insulin or both. Monitoring your blood sugar. Depending on your treatment plan, you may check and record your blood sugar as often as several times a week to as many as four to eight times a day. Careful monitoring is the only way to make sure that your blood sugar level remains within your target range. People who receive insulin therapy also may choose to monitor their blood sugar levels with a continuous glucose monitor. Although this technology doesn't yet replace the glucose meter, it can provide important information about trends in blood sugar levels. Even with careful management, blood sugar levels can sometimes change unpredictably. With help from your diabetes treatment team, you'll learn how your blood sugar level changes in response to food, physical activity, medications, illness, alcohol, stress — for women, fluctuations in hormone levels. In addition to daily blood sugar monitoring, your doctor will likely recommend regular A1C testing to measure your average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. Compared with repeated daily blood sugar tests, A1C testing better indicates how well your diabetes treatment plan is working overall. An elevated A1C level may signal the need for a change in your insulin regimen or meal plan. Your target A1C goal may vary depending on your age and various other factors. However, for most people with diabetes, the American Diabetes Association recommends an A1C of below 7 percent. Ask your doctor what your A1C target is. Insulin. People with type 1 diabetes need insulin therapy to survive. Many people with type 2 diabetes or gestational diabetes also need insulin therapy. Many types of insulin are available, including rapid-acting insulin, long-acting insulin and intermediate options. Depending on your needs, your doctor may prescribe a mixture of insulin types to use throughout the day and night. Insulin can't be taken orally to lower blood sugar because stomach enzymes interfere with insulin's action. Often insulin is injected using a fine needle and syringe or an insulin pen — a device that looks like a large ink pen. An insulin pump may also be an option. The pump is a device about the size of a cellphone worn on the outside of your body. A tube connects the reservoir of insulin to a catheter that's inserted under the skin of your abdomen. A tubeless pump that works wirelessly is also now available. You program an insulin pump to dispense specific amounts of insulin. It can be adjusted to deliver more or less insulin depending on meals, activity level and blood sugar level. An emerging treatment approach, not yet available, is closed loop insulin delivery, also known as the artificial pancreas. It links a continuous glucose monitor to an insulin pump. The device automatically delivers the correct amount of insulin when the monitor indicates the need for it. There are a number of different versions of the artificial pancreas, and clinical trials have had encouraging results. More research needs to be done before a fully functional artificial pancreas can receive regulatory approval. However, the first step toward an artificial pancreas was approved in 2013. Combining a continuous glucose monitor with an insulin pump, this system stops insulin delivery when blood sugar levels drop too low. Studies on the device found that it could prevent low blood sugar levels overnight without significantly increasing morning blood sugar levels. Oral or other medications. Sometimes other oral or injected medications are prescribed as well. Some diabetes medications stimulate your pancreas to produce and release more insulin. Others inhibit the production and release of glucose from your liver, which means you need less insulin to transport sugar into your cells. Still others block the action of stomach or intestinal enzymes that break down carbohydrates or make your tissues more sensitive to insulin. Metformin (Glucophage, Glumetza, others) is generally the first medication prescribed for type 2 diabetes. Transplantation. In some people who have type 1 diabetes, a pancreas transplant may be an option. Islet transplants are being studied as well. With a successful pancreas transplant, you would no longer need insulin therapy. But transplants aren't always successful — and these procedures pose serious risks. You need a lifetime of immune-suppressing drugs to prevent organ rejection. These drugs can have serious side effects, including a high risk of infection, organ injury and cancer. Because the side effects can be more dangerous than the diabetes, transplants are usually reserved for people whose diabetes can't be controlled or those who also need a kidney transplant. Bariatric surgery. Although it is not specifically considered a treatment for type 2 diabetes, people with type 2 diabetes who also have a body mass index higher than 35 may benefit from this type of surgery. People who've undergone gastric bypass have seen significant improvements in their blood sugar levels. However, this procedure's long-term risks and benefits for type 2 diabetes aren't yet known. Treatment for gestational diabetes Controlling your blood sugar level is essential to keeping your baby healthy and avoiding complications during delivery. In addition to maintaining a healthy diet and exercising, your treatment plan may include monitoring your blood sugar and, in some cases, using insulin or oral medications. Your health care provider will also monitor your blood sugar level during labor. If your blood sugar rises, your baby may release high levels of insulin — which can lead to low blood sugar right after birth. Treatment for prediabetes If you have prediabetes, healthy lifestyle choices can help you bring your blood sugar level back to normal or at least keep it from rising toward the levels seen in type 2 diabetes. Maintaining a healthy weight through exercise and healthy eating can help. Exercising at least 150 minutes a week and losing 5 to 10 percent of your body weight may prevent or delay type 2 diabetes. Sometimes medications — such as metformin (Glucophage, Glumetza, others) — also are an option if you're at high risk of diabetes, including when your prediabetes is worsening or if you have cardiovascular disease, fatty liver disease or polycystic ovary syndrome. In other cases, medications to control cholesterol — statins, in particular — and high blood pressure medications are needed. Your doctor might prescribe low-dose aspirin therapy to help prevent cardiovascular disease if you're at high risk. Healthy lifestyle choices remain key, however. Signs of trouble in any type of diabetes Because so many factors can affect your blood sugar, problems may sometimes arise that require immediate care, such as: High blood sugar (hyperglycemia). Your blood sugar level can rise for many reasons, including eating too much, being sick or not taking enough glucose-lowering medication. Check your blood sugar level as directed by your doctor, and watch for signs and symptoms of high blood sugar — frequent urination, increased thirst, dry mouth, blurred vision, fatigue and nausea. If you have hyperglycemia, you'll need to adjust your meal plan, medications or both. Increased ketones in your urine (diabetic ketoacidosis). If your cells are starved for energy, your body may begin to break down fat. This produces toxic acids known as ketones. Watch for loss of appetite, weakness, vomiting, fever, stomach pain and a sweet, fruity breath. You can check your urine for excess ketones with an over-the-counter ketones test kit. If you have excess ketones in your urine, consult your doctor right away or seek emergency care. This condition is more common in people with type 1 diabetes. Hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome. Signs and symptoms of this life-threatening condition include a blood sugar reading over 600 mg/d L (33.3 mmol/L), dry mouth, extreme thirst, fever, drowsiness, confusion, vision loss and hallucinations. Hyperosmolar syndrome is caused by sky-high blood sugar that turns blood thick and syrupy. It tends to be more common in people with type 2 diabetes, and it's often preceded by an illness. Call your doctor or seek immediate medical care if you have signs or symptoms of this condition. Low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). If your blood sugar level drops below your target range, it's known as low blood sugar (hypoglycemia). Your blood sugar level can drop for many reasons, including skipping a meal and getting more physical activity than normal. However, low blood sugar is most likely if you take glucose-lowering medications that promote the secretion of insulin by your pancreas or if you're receiving insulin therapy. Check your blood sugar level regularly, and watch for signs and symptoms of low blood sugar — sweating, shakiness, weakness, hunger, dizziness, headache, blurred vision, heart palpitations, irritability, slurred speech, drowsiness, confusion, fainting and seizures. Low blood sugar is treated with quickly absorbed carbohydrates, such as fruit juice or glucose tablets.

Lifestyle and home remedies Diabetes is a serious disease. Following your diabetes treatment plan takes round-the-clock commitment. Careful management of diabetes can reduce your risk of serious — even life-threatening — complications. No matter what type of diabetes you have: Make a commitment to managing your diabetes. Learn all you can about diabetes. Establish a relationship with a diabetes educator, and ask your diabetes treatment team for help when you need it. Choose healthy foods and maintain a healthy weight. Losing just 7 percent of your body weight if you're overweight can make a significant difference in your blood sugar control. A healthy diet is one with plenty of fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes, with a limited amount of saturated fat. Make physical activity part of your daily routine. Regular exercise can help prevent prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, and it can help those who already have diabetes to maintain better blood sugar control. Thirty minutes of moderate exercise — such as brisk walking — most days of the week is recommended. A combination of exercises — aerobic exercises, such as walking or dancing on most days, combined with resistance training, such as weightlifting or yoga twice a week — often helps control blood sugar more effectively than does either type of exercise alone. Lifestyle for type 1 and type 2 diabetes In addition, if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes: Identify yourself. Wear a tag or bracelet that says you have diabetes. Keep a glucagon kit nearby in case of a low blood sugar emergency — and make sure your friends and loved ones know how to use it. Schedule a yearly physical and regular eye exams. Your regular diabetes checkups aren't meant to replace yearly physicals or routine eye exams. During the physical, your doctor will look for any diabetes-related complications and screen for other medical problems. Your eye care specialist will check for signs of retinal damage, cataracts and glaucoma. Keep your vaccinations up to date. High blood sugar can weaken your immune system. Get a flu shot every year, and your doctor may recommend the pneumonia vaccine, as well. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) also currently recommends hepatitis B vaccination if you haven't previously been vaccinated against hepatitis B and you're an adult ages 19 to 59 with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. The most recent CDC guidelines advise vaccination as soon as possible after diagnosis with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. If you are age 60 or older, have diabetes, and haven't previously received the vaccine, talk to your doctor about whether it's right for you. Pay attention to your feet. Wash your feet daily in lukewarm water. Dry them gently, especially between the toes. Moisturize with lotion, but not between the toes. Check your feet every day for blisters, cuts, sores, redness or swelling. Consult your doctor if you have a sore or other foot problem that doesn't heal promptly on its own. Keep your blood pressure and cholesterol under control. Eating healthy foods and exercising regularly can go a long way toward controlling high blood pressure and cholesterol. Medication may be needed, too. Take care of your teeth. Diabetes may leave you prone to more-serious gum infections. Brush and floss your teeth at least twice a day. And if you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes, schedule regular dental exams. Consult your dentist right away if your gums bleed or look red or swollen. If you smoke or use other types of tobacco, ask your doctor to help you quit. Smoking increases your risk of various diabetes complications. Smokers who have diabetes are more likely to die of cardiovascular disease than are nonsmokers who have diabetes, according to the American Diabetes Association. Talk to your doctor about ways to stop smoking or to stop using other types of tobacco. If you drink alcohol, do so responsibly. Alcohol can cause either high or low blood sugar, depending on how much you drink and if you eat at the same time. If you choose to drink, do so only in moderation — one drink a day for women of all ages and men older than 65, and up to two drinks a day for men age 65 and younger — and always with food. Remember to include the carbohydrates from any alcohol you drink in your daily carbohydrate count. And check your blood sugar levels before going to bed. Take stress seriously. The hormones your body may produce in response to prolonged stress may prevent insulin from working properly, which will raise your blood sugar and stress you even more. Set limits for yourself and prioritize your tasks. Learn relaxation techniques. And get plenty of sleep. Alternative medicine Numerous substances have been shown to improve insulin sensitivity in some studies, while other studies fail to find any benefit for blood sugar control or in lowering A1C levels. Because of the conflicting findings, there aren't any alternative therapies that are currently recommended to help with blood sugar management. If you decide to try an alternative therapy, don't stop taking the medications that your doctor has prescribed. Be sure to discuss the use of any of these therapies with your doctor to make sure that they won't cause adverse reactions or interact with your current therapy. Additionally, there are no treatments — alternative or conventional — that can cure diabetes, so it's critical that people who are receiving insulin therapy for diabetes don't stop using insulin unless directed to do so by their physicians. Coping and support Living with diabetes can be difficult and frustrating. Sometimes, even when you've done everything right, your blood sugar levels may rise. But stick with your diabetes management plan, and you'll likely see a positive difference in your A1C when you visit your doctor. Because good diabetes management can be time-consuming, and sometimes overwhelming, some people find it helps to talk to someone. Your doctor can probably recommend a mental health professional for you to speak with, or you may want to try a support group. Sharing your frustrations and your triumphs with people who understand what you're going through can be very helpful. And you may find that others have great tips to share about diabetes management. Your doctor may know of a local support group, or you can call the American Diabetes Association at 800-DIABETES (800-342-2383) or the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation at 800-533-CURE (800-533-2873). Preparing for your appointment You're likely to start by seeing your primary care doctor if you're having diabetes symptoms. If your child is having diabetes symptoms, you might see your child's pediatrician. If blood sugar levels are extremely high, you'll likely be sent to the emergency room. If blood sugar levels aren't high enough to put you or your child immediately at risk, you may be referred to a doctor who specializes in diabetes, among other disorders (endocrinologist). Soon after diagnosis, you'll also likely meet with a diabetes educator and a dietitian to get more information on managing your diabetes. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment and to know what to expect. What you can do Be aware of any pre-appointment restrictions. When you make the appointment, ask if you need to do anything in advance. This will likely include restricting your diet, such as for a fasting blood sugar test. Write down any symptoms you're experiencing, including any that may seem unrelated. Write down key personal information, including major stresses or recent life changes. If you're monitoring your glucose values at home, bring a record of the glucose results, detailing the dates and times of testing. Make a list of any allergies you have and all medications, vitamins and supplements you're taking. Record your family medical history. In particular, note any relatives who have had diabetes, heart attacks or strokes. Take a family member or friend, if possible. Someone who accompanies you can help you remember information you need. Write down questions to ask your doctor. Ask about aspects of your diabetes management you're unclear about. Be aware if you need any prescription refills. Your doctor can renew your prescriptions while you're there. Preparing a list of questions can help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For diabetes, some questions to ask include: Are the symptoms I'm having related to diabetes or something else? Do I need any tests? What else can I do to protect my health? What are other options to manage my diabetes? I have other health conditions. How can I best manage these conditions together? Are there restrictions I need to follow? Should I see another specialist, such as a dietitian or diabetes educator? Is there a generic alternative to the medicine you're prescribing? Are there brochures or other printed material I can take with me? What websites do you recommend? What to expect from your doctor Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, such as: Can you describe your symptoms? Do you have symptoms all the time, or do they come and go? How severe are your symptoms? Do you have a family history of preeclampsia or diabetes? Tell me about your diet. Do you exercise? What type and how much? By Mayo Clinic Staff
Andes The Andes or Andean Mountains (Spanish: Cordillera de los Andes) are the longest continental mountain range in the world. They form a continuous highland along the western edge of South America. This range is about 7,000 km (4,300 mi) long, about 200 to 700 km (120 to 430 mi) wide (widest between 18° south and 20° south latitude), and of an average height of about 4,000 m (13,000 ft). The Andes extend from north to south through seven South American countries: Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile.

Gaia Guide: Description of Greylag Goose (species: Anser anser) Show field guides Distinguishing features The Greylag is the largest and bulkiest of the grey geese of the genus Anser. It has a rotund, bulky body, a thick and long neck, and a large head and bill. It has pink legs and feet, and an orange or pink bill. The plumage is greyish-brown, with a darker head and paler belly with variable black spots. Its plumage is patterned by the pale fringes of its feathers. It has a white line bordering its upper flanks. Its coverts are lightly coloured, contrasting with its darker flight feathers. Juveniles differ mostly in their lack of a black-speckled belly. ��(Wikipedia) Size From 74 cm to 91 cm (Length of specimen) Weight From 2.16 kg to 4.56 kg Wingspan From 147 cm to 180 cm (Length of specimen) Synonyms View the distribution based on Global Biodiversity Information Facility data Distribution and habitat preferences This species is found throughout the Old World, apparently breeding where suitable localities are to be found in many European countries, although it no longer breeds in southwestern Europe. Eastwards, it extends across Asia to China. In North America, there are both feral domestic geese, which are similar to greylags, and occasional vagrants. In Great Britain, their numbers had declined as a breeding bird, retreating north to breed wild only in the Outer Hebrides and the northern mainland of Scotland. However, during the 20th century, feral populations have been established elsewhere, and they have now re-colonised much of England. The breeding habitat is a variety of wetlands including marshes, lakes, and damp heather moors. (Wikipedia)

One of the first recorded instances of translation in the West was the rendering of the Old Testament into Greek in the 3rd century BCE. The translation is known as the "Septuagint", a name that refers to the seventy translators (seventy-two, in some versions) who were commissioned to translate the Bible at Alexandria, Egypt. Each translator worked in solitary confinement in his own cell, and according to legend all seventy versions proved identical. The Septuagint became the source text for later translations into many languages, including Latin, Coptic, Armenian and Georgian.
Que tal does not mean what's up. Que tal is an expression used that is most similar to how's it going in English. The correct response is bien - bien, gracias - bien, yâ¦ tu?. If you want to say what's up you would use que pasa or que onda (que onda is a Mexican expression).
Barbarian A barbarian is a human who is perceived to be either uncivilized or primitive. The designation is usually applied as generalization based on a popular stereotype; barbarians can be any member of a nation judged by some to be less civilized or orderly (such as a tribal society), but may also be part of a certain "primitive" cultural group (such as nomads) or social class (such as bandits) both within and outside one's own nation. Alternatively, they may instead be admired and romanticised as noble savages. In idiomatic or figurative usage, a "barbarian" may also be an individual reference to a brutal, cruel, warlike, and insensitive person.[1]
Olympic symbols The current view of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is that the symbol "reinforces the idea" that the Olympic Movement is international and welcomes all countries of the world to join.[12] As can be read in the Olympic Charter, the Olympic symbol represents the union of the "five continents" of the world and the meeting of athletes from throughout the world at the Olympic Games. However, no continent is represented by any specific ring. Prior to 1951, the official handbook stated that each color corresponded to a particular continent: blue for Europe, yellow for Asia, black for Africa, green for Australia and Oceania and red for the Americas; this was removed because there was no evidence that Coubertin had intended it (the quotation above was probably an afterthought).[13] Nevertheless, the logo of the Association of National Olympic Committees places the logo of each of its five continental associations inside the ring of the corresponding color.
In 1568, Spanish navigator Álvaro de Mendaña was the first European to sail through the archipelago, sighting the island of Nui during his expedition in search of Terra Australis. In 1819 the island of Funafuti was named Ellice's Island; the name Ellice was applied to all nine islands after the work of English hydrographer Alexander George Findlay. The islands came under Britain's sphere of influence in the late 19th century, when each of the Ellice Islands was declared a British Protectorate by Captain Gibson of HMS Curacoa between 9 and 16 October 1892. The Ellice Islands were administered as British protectorate by a Resident Commissioner from 1892 to 1916 as part of the British Western Pacific Territories (BWPT), and then as part of the Gilbert and Ellice Islands colony from 1916 to 1974.

NASA - What is orbit? What is orbit? 09.10.03 Diagram of the planets and other heavenly bodies. Orbit is a word we hear quite often. Every time the Space Shuttle lifts off the launch pad, we hear it. Every time the Space Shuttle meets up with the International Space Station (ISS), we hear it. And every time a rocket launches a payload, we hear the word "orbit." It's a widely used term, but do you know what an orbit really is? An orbit is a regular, repeating path that one object in space takes around another one. An object in an orbit is called a satellite. A satellite can be natural, like the Earth or the Moon. It can also be man-made, like the Space Shuttle or the ISS. In our solar system, the Earth and the eight other planets orbit the Sun. Most of the objects orbiting the Sun move along or close to an imaginary flat surface. This imaginary surface is called the ecliptic plane. Many planets also have moons. These moons orbit around them. Orbits are elliptical in shape, this means they are similar to an oval. For the planets, the orbits are almost round. The orbits of comets have a different shape. They are highly eccentric or "squashed." Satellites that orbit the Earth are not always the same distance from the Earth. Sometimes they are closer, and at other times they are farther away. The closest point a satellite comes to the Earth is called its perigee. The farthest point is the apogee. The time it takes a satellite to make one full orbit is called its period. The inclination is the angle the orbital plane makes when compared with the Earth's equator. The space station Skylab orbiting the Earth. An object in motion will stay in motion unless something pushes or pulls on it. This is Isaac Newton's First Law of Motion. Without gravity, an Earth-orbiting satellite would go off into space along a straight line. With gravity, it is pulled back toward the Earth. There is a constant tug-of-war between the satellites tendency to move in a straight line, or momentum, and the tug of gravity pulling it back. An object's momentum and the force of gravity have to be balanced for an orbit to happen. If the forward momentum of one object is too great, it will speed past the other one and not enter into orbit. If momentum is too small, the object will be pulled into the other one and crash. When these forces are balanced, the object is always falling into the planet, but because it's moving sideways fast enough, it never hits the planet. Escape velocity is the speed an object must go to break free from a planet's gravity and enter into orbit. Escape velocity depends on the mass of the planet. Each planet has a different escape velocity. The object's distance from the planet's center is also important. The escape velocity from the Earth is about 11.3 kilometers (7 miles) per second. Orbital velocity is the speed needed to stay in orbit. At an altitude of 242 kilometers (150 miles), this is about 17,000 miles per hour. This is just a little less than full escape velocity. The Space Shuttle in Low-Earth Orbit. Low-Earth Orbit (LEO) is restricted to the first 100 to 200 miles of space. LEO is the easiest orbit to get to and stay in. This is where the Shuttle and ISS conduct their operations. One complete orbit in LEO takes about 90 minutes. Satellites that seem to be attached to some location on Earth are in Geosynchronous Earth Orbit (GEO). These satellites orbit about 23,000 miles above the equator and complete one revolution around the Earth precisely every 24 hours. Satellites headed for GEO first go to an elliptical orbit with an apogee about 23,000 miles. Firing the rocket engines at apogee then makes the orbit round. Geosynchronous orbits are also called geostationary. Any satellite with an orbital path going over or near the poles maintains a polar orbit. Polar orbits are usually in low-Earth orbit. They remain in place while the Earth passes under. This means that eventually, the entire Earth's surface passes under a satellite in polar orbit. When a meteorite enters our atmosphere and becomes a "shooting star,
Shoppers Drug Mart Founded by Murray Koffler, the Koffler family still retains ownership of the Super-Pharm pharmacy which is in Israel, Poland, and China.

Children's health At what age do children start losing their baby teeth? Answers from Thomas J. Salinas, D. D. S. Multimedia Baby teeth diagram A child's baby teeth (primary teeth) typically begin to loosen and fall out to make room for permanent teeth at about age 6. However, sometimes this can be delayed by as much as a year. The first baby teeth to fall out are typically the two bottom front teeth (lower central incisors) and the two top front teeth (upper central incisors), followed by the lateral incisors, first molars, canines and second molars. Baby teeth usually stay in place until they are pushed out by permanent teeth. If a child loses a baby tooth early as a result of tooth decay or an accident, a permanent tooth might drift into the empty space. This can crowd permanent teeth and cause them to come in crooked. When your child starts to lose his or her baby teeth, reinforce the importance of proper dental care. For example: Remind your child to brush his or her teeth at least twice a day. Supervise and offer assistance as needed. Help your child floss his or her teeth daily. Eat a healthy diet and limit between-meal snacks, especially those high in sugar. Schedule regular dental visits for your child. With proper care, you can help your child's permanent teeth last a lifetime. With Thomas J. Salinas, D. D. S.

Mooring fees have increased $50 to cover the costs or removing abandoned boats from Auckland's waters. Photo / Supplied Mooring fees have increased $50 to cover the costs or removing abandoned boats from Auckland's waters. Photo / Supplied Michael Neilson is a political reporter for the New Zealand Herald Hundreds of ghost ships litter Auckland's waters and require recovery, costing ratepayers hundreds of thousands of dollars. Auckland Harbourmaster Andrew Hayton said when he started in the role over eight years ago they were plucking about half a dozen abandoned ships out of the water a year. Last year it was 23. The costs are increasing too. Last year his team, part of Auckland Transport, spent $135,000 hauling the unloved vessels out of Auckland's waters and disposing of them. He estimates there could be as many as 200 abandoned boats in the area currently. "It is becoming an unsustainable burden on the city." This year they increased the fees for Auckland's 3000 moorings by $50, taking the total price to $296, to take the burden off ratepayers. Hayton said it was unfortunate for responsible boat owners, but it was not fair for general ratepayers to be picking up the full tab.

Most were built with rudimentary materials, and the owner had likely since died. "But the vessels still might hold a sentimental value to the children or grandchildren, and hence these boats just sit there, nobody wanting to get rid of them, until they fall into a state of disrepair, or are forgotten about." The number of abandoned boats in the waters surrounding Auckland is increasing. Photo / Supplied In other cases the boats might be sold for what looks like a bargain, until the new owner realised how much work it took to repair and maintain. As these vessels aged them being abandoned was increasing and it was difficult to identify owners, Hayton said. While the moorings were registered, there was no boat registration in New Zealand. "Some people put dead boats onto moorings to dump them, so it is quite easy to shirk responsibility." There was no typical process, rather the harbourmaster's team would take note of what looked like an abandoned boat, and seek to find the owner. "It is quite easy to tell when they've been abandoned. There might be excessive growth on it, seagulls nesting, or even trees growing on them. They can be real eyesores." If the owner could not be identified, under the Maritime Act they were required to place a notice on the vessel, an advertisement in the Herald, and contact police. Harbourmaster Andrew Hayton says it is "easy to tell" when a boat has been abandoned. Photo / Supplied If no owner came forward they would then seek to sell the vessel, but if it was beyond repair they would salvage what they could and dispose of the rest. The process could cost anywhere between a few hundred dollars up to $30,000, the higher figure especially if the boat had sunk, as it would require divers. There were about six boats going through that process now, but about 200 throughout Auckland's waters Hayton and his team are keeping an eye on. Hayton said rather than simply abandoning boats owners should get in touch with the harbourmaster. "The onus is on boat owners to keep their vessels seaworthy. But we understand people can fall on hard times, or people pass away and the boat be left with others. "If you are unable to look after it, please just get in touch with us and we'll do what we can to help. "Getting onto it sooner you might be able to recover some costs, whereas leaving it will end up costing more money." Auckland Yacht and Boating Association chair Ian Clouston said a lot of boats were abandoned because the costs of maintaining them were so high. "You might be looking at 15 to 20 per cent of the boat's value in maintenance a year, so with rising living costs and berthing fees some people simply can't afford it." Selling boats was also more difficult these days, with them being classed as "luxury items". He urged people to get onto the problem sooner than later, rather than abandoning them on random moorings. "It is very irresponsible, and if you don't know the strength of the mooring the boat could be blown off in a storm."

After editing a book on John Stuart Mill's letters he planned to publish two books on the liberal order, The Constitution of Liberty and "The Creative Powers of a Free Civilization" (eventually the title for the second chapter of The Constitution of Liberty). He completed The Constitution of Liberty in May 1959, with publication in February 1960. Hayek was concerned "with that condition of men in which coercion of some by others is reduced as much as is possible in society". Hayek was disappointed that the book did not receive the same enthusiastic general reception as The Road to Serfdom had sixteen years before.

Squad leader In the US military, a squad leader or squad commander is a Non-Commissioned Officer who leads a squad of typically 9 Soldiers (US Army: squad leader and two fireteams of 4 men each) or 13 Marines (US Marine Corps: squad leader and three fireteams of 4 men each) in a rifle squad, or 3 to 8 men in a crew-served weapons squad. In the United States Army the Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E) rank of a rifle squad leader is Staff Sergeant (US military & naval pay grade E-6 or NATO designation OR-6) and in the United States Marine Corps the TO rank is Sergeant (E-5 or OR-5), though a Corporal may also act as a squad leader in the absence of sufficient numbers of Sergeants. Squad leaders of crew-served weapons squads range from Corporal through Staff Sergeant, depending upon the branch of service and type of squad.

Hunter Dunn, Furnish’d and burnish’d by Aldershot sun, What strenuous singles we played after tea, We in the tournament – you against me! Love-thirty, love-forty, oh! weakness of joy, The speed of a swallow, the grace of a boy, With carefullest carelessness, gaily you won, I am weak from your loveliness, Joan Hunter Dunn. Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, How mad I am, sad I am, glad that you won, The warm-handled racket is back in its press, But my shock-headed victor, she loves me no less. Her father’s euonymus shines as we walk, And swing past the summer-house, buried in talk, And cool the verandah that welcomes us in To the six-o’clock news and a lime-juice and gin. The scent of the conifers, sound of the bath, The view from my bedroom of moss-dappled path, As I struggle with double-end evening tie, For we dance at the Golf Club, my victor and I. On the floor of her bedroom lie blazer and shorts, And the cream-coloured walls are be-trophied with sports, And westering, questioning settles the sun, On your low-leaded window, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn. The Hillman is waiting, the light’s in the hall, The pictures of Egypt are bright on the wall, My sweet, I am standing beside the oak stair And there on the landing’s the light on your hair. By roads “not adopted”, by woodlanded ways, She drove to the club in the late summer haze, Into nine-o’clock Camberley, heavy with bells And mushroomy, pine-woody, evergreen smells. Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, Miss Joan Hunter Dunn, I can hear from the car park the dance has begun, Oh! Surrey twilight! importunate band! Oh! strongly adorable tennis-girl’s hand! Around us are Rovers and Austins afar, Above us the intimate roof of the car, And here on my right is the girl of my choice, With the tilt of her nose and the chime of her voice. And the scent of her wrap, and the words never said, And the ominous, ominous dancing ahead. We sat in the car park till twenty to one And now I’m engaged to Miss Joan Hunter Dunn.
How much vitamin B6 should I take per day to help treat hot flashes? Stacy Wiegman, Pharm DPharmacy Talk to your health-care provider about how much vitamin B6 you should take for hot flashes. There's little research showing that the vitamin can help women with this menopause symptom. But some experts believe that B vitamins may help regulate other symptoms, like mood swings and insomnia. If you're having hot flashes because of cancer treatment, consult your physician. Julia Schlam Edelman OBGYN (Obstetrics & Gynecology)Vitamin B6 may provide some relief from hot flashes in doses of 50 milligrams by mouth, once a day. It is important not to exceed the recommended dosage. Taking more than 100 milligrams of vitamin B6 daily may cause irreversible nerve damage. It is advisable to check the label of the multivitamin supplement that you take as well as other vitamins, such as B-complex, which may contain additional vitamin B6, so that you do not exceed the recommended dose in your combined supplements.

Isis -LRB- -LSB- ˈaɪsɪs -RSB- Ἶσις -LSB- îː.sis -RSB- ; original Egyptian pronunciation more likely `` Aset '' or `` Iset '' -RRB- is a goddess from the polytheistic pantheon of Egypt . She was first worshiped in ancient Egyptian religion , and later her worship spread throughout the Roman Empire and the greater Greco-Roman world . Isis is still widely worshiped by many pagans today in diverse religious contexts ; including a number of distinct pagan religions , the modern Goddess movement , and interfaith organizations such as the Fellowship of Isis . Isis was worshipped as the ideal mother and wife as well as the patroness of nature and magic . She was the friend of slaves , sinners , artisans and the downtrodden , but she also listened to the prayers of the wealthy , maidens , aristocrats and rulers . Isis is often depicted as the mother of Horus , the falcon-headed deity associated with king and kingship -LRB- although in some traditions Horus 's mother was Hathor -RRB- . Isis is also known as protector of the dead and goddess of children . The name Isis means `` Throne '' . Her headdress is a throne . As the personification of the throne , she was an important representation of the pharaoh 's power . The pharaoh was depicted as her child , who sat on the throne she provided . Her cult was popular throughout Egypt , but her most important temples were at Behbeit El Hagar in the Nile delta , and , beginning in the reign with Nectanebo I -LRB- 380 -- 362 BCE -RRB- , on the island of Philae in Upper Egypt . In the typical form of her myth , Isis was the first daughter of Geb , god of the Earth , and Nut , goddess of the Sky , and she was born on the fourth intercalary day . She married her brother , Osiris , and she conceived Horus with him . Isis was instrumental in the resurrection of Osiris when he was murdered by Set . Using her magical skills , she restored his body to life after having gathered the body parts that had been strewn about the earth by Set . This myth became very important during the Greco-Roman period . For example , it was believed that the Nile River flooded every year because of the tears of sorrow which Isis wept for Osiris . Osiris 's death and rebirth was relived each year through rituals . The worship of Isis eventually spread throughout the Greco-Roman world , continuing until the suppression of paganism in the Christian era . The popular motif of Isis suckling her son Horus , however , lived on in a Christianized context as the popular image of Mary suckling her infant son Jesus from the fifth century onward .

Hubble law and the expanding universe Expanding Universe The distant galaxies we see in all directions are moving away from the Earth, as evidenced by their red shifts . Hubble's law describes this expansion. The fact that we see other galaxies moving away from us does not imply that we are the center of the universe! All galaxies will see other galaxies moving away from them in an expanding universe unless the other galaxies are part of the same gravitationally bound group or cluster of galaxies. A rising loaf of raisin bread is a good visual model: each raisin will see all other raisins moving away from it as the loaf expands. The fact that the universe is expanding then raises the question "Will it always expand?" Since the action of gravity works against the expansion, then if the density were large enough, the expansion would stop and the universe would collapse in a "big crunch". This is called a closed universe. If the density were small enough, the expansion would continue forever (an open universe). At a certain precise critical density, the universe would asymtotically approach zero expansion rate, but never collapse. Remarkably, all evidence indicates that the universe is very close to that critical density. Discussions about the expansion of the universe often refer to a density parameter Ω which is the density divided by the critical density, such that Ω = 1 represents the critical density condition. Go Back Hubble's Law Hubble's law is a statement of a direct correlation between the distance to a galaxy and its recessional velocity as determined by the red shift . It can be stated as The reported value of the Hubble parameter has varied widely over the years, testament to the difficulty of astronomical distance measurement . But with high precision experiments after 1990 the range of the reported values has narrowed greatly to values in the range An often mentioned problem for the Hubble law is Stefan's Quintet. Four of these five stars have similar red shifts but the fifth is quite different, and they appear to be interacting. The Particle Data Group documents quote a "best modern value" of the Hubble parameter as 72 km/s per megaparsec (+/- 10%). This value comes from the use of type Ia supernovae (which give relative distances to about 5%) along with data from Cepheid variables gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope . The WMAP mission data leads to a Hubble constant of 71 +/- 5% km/s per megaparsec. Go Back Hubble Parameter The proportionality between recession velocity and distance in the Hubble Law is called the Hubble constant, or more appropriately the Hubble parameter we have a history of revising it. In recent years the value of the Hubble parameter has been considerably refined, and the current value given by the WMAP mission is 71 km/s per megaparsec. The recession velocities of distant galaxies are known from the red shift , but the distances are much more uncertain. Distance measurement to nearby galaxies uses Cepheid variables as the main standard candle, but more distant galaxies must be examined to determine the Hubble constant since the direct Cepheid distances are all within the range of the gravitational pull of the local cluster. Use of the Hubble Space Telescope has permitted the detection of Cepheid variables in the Virgo cluster which have contributed to refinement of the distance scale. The Particle Data Group documents quote a "best modern value" of the Hubble constant as 72 km/s per megaparsec (+/- 10%). This value comes from the use of type Ia supernovae (which give relative distances to about 5%) along with data from Cepheid variables gathered by the Hubble Space Telescope . The value from the WMAP survey is 71 km/s per megaparsec. Another approach to the Hubble parameter gives emphasis to the fact that space itself is expanding, and at any given time can be described by a dimensionless scale factor R(t). The Hubble parameter is the ratio of the rate of change of the scale factor to the current value of the scale factor R: The scale factor R for a given observed object in the

What are Purkinje Fibers? Purkinje fibers are specialized muscle fibers found in the heart. They originate at the atrioventricular bundle and extend into the ventricles. Their function is to relay impulses from the bundle to the ventricles, causing a contraction. They do so at a speed of between three ft (one m) and 12 ft (four m) per second, causing the contraction of the ventricles to be almost instantaneous. These fibers, also known as subendocardial branches, are located beneath the endocardium, which is the innermost layer of the heart. Purkinje fibers are stretched along heart muscle tissue beginning at the atrioventricular node. They then proceed down the middle portion of the heart and branch out to either side at the bottom, curving up along the outer edge of the endocardial wall. When an electrical impulse is sent along the Purkinje fibers, it is rapidly relayed to the ventricular cells on both sides of the heart. This in turn causes the ventricles to contract. The contracting ventricles produce enough force to eject blood from the heart, which is necessary for circulation. Pulmonary circulation originates from the right ventricle, and systemic circulation comes from the left. If stained and viewed under a microscope, Purkinje fibers will appear larger and lighter than the surrounding muscle tissue. Ad Named after the Czechoslovakian anatomist Jan Evangelista Purkyne, Purkinje fibers were discovered in 1839. Purkyne, spelled alternatively at Purkinje, also discovered Purkinje cells, which are large neurons located in the cerebellum. In addition, he is credited with the discovery that red-colored objects appear to fade faster in dim light conditions than those that are blue. This is known as the Purkinje effect. Purkinje was extremely active in the scientific community of his time. He coined the term plasma, which refers to blood that has had all of the suspended cells within it removed, and protoplasm, which is the substance within the cells. In 1823, Purkinje published a paper on the structure of fingerprints and their anatomical makeup. Although his primary focus was physiology, he also made forays into the world of experimental psychology. During his lifetime, Purkinje made at least six significant discoveries that now bear his name. In the early part of the 17th century, Purkinje was famous enough that any letters addressed to him simply needed to contain his name and the word 'Europe.' He is said to have founded the first physiology department in the world, followed shortly thereafter by the first physiology laboratory. Ad

Ethiopia - Countries - Office of the Historian Ethiopia - Countries A Guide to the United States’ History of Recognition, Diplomatic, and Consular Relations, by Country, since 1776: Ethiopia Summary Long isolated, the Ethiopian emperors began to consolidate the country in the mid-nineteenth century. The Italian invasions in 1895 and 1935 forced Ethiopia into greater contact with world politics. U.S.-Ethiopian relations were established in 1903 and were good throughout the period prior to the Italian occupation in 1935. Modern Flag of Ethiopia After World War II, these ties strengthened and Ethiopia has played an active role in world and African affairs. Following Ethiopia’s revolution, U.S.-Ethiopian relations began to cool due to the Derg’s linking with international communism and U.S. revulsion at the Derg’s human rights abuses. With the downfall of the Mengistu regime in 1991, U.S.-Ethiopian relations improved dramatically. Today, Ethiopia has very good relations with the United States, especially in responding to regional instability and supporting war on terrorism and, increasingly, through economic involvement. Recognition First Official Diplomatic Interaction, 1903. The United States and Ethiopia, both long established as states, engaged in their first official diplomatic interaction on December 27, 1903, when King of Ethiopia Menelik II and U.S. representative Robert P. Skinner signed a treaty of commerce. Diplomatic Relations Establishment of Diplomatic Relations, 1903. Diplomatic relations were established on December 27, 1903, when King of Ethiopia Menelik II and U.S. representative Robert P. Skinner signed a treaty of commerce in which the two states agreed to receive representatives “in order to perpetuate and strengthen the friendly relations which exist between Ethiopia and the United States of America.” Establishment of American Legation in Addis Ababa, 1909. The American Legation was established on July 6, 1909, when U.S. Minister Resident and Consul General Hoffman Philip presented his credentials in Addis Ababa. American Legation Closed, 1937. The Italians invaded Ethiopia and occupied Addis Ababa on May 6, 1936. Although the United States never publicly recognized Italian authority in Ethiopia, it did withdraw its diplomatic representation and close the legation in Addis Ababa. U.S. Minister Resident and Consul General Cornelius Van H. Engert departed Addis Ababa on March 4, 1937, and the consulate was closed after March 31, 1937. American Legation Reopened, 1943. The American Legation in Addis Ababa reopened on August 31, 1943, when U.S. Minister Resident and Consul General John K. Caldwell presented his credentials. Ethiopian Legation Reopened, 1943. The Ethiopian Legation in the United States was opened on November 9, 1943, and Blatta Ephrem Tewelde Medhen served as Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary. American Legation Raised to Embassy, 1949. The American Legation in Addis Ababa was elevated to Embassy status on June 28, 1949, when Ambassador George R. Merrell presented his credentials Ethiopian Legation Raised to Embassy, 1949. The Ethiopian Legation was raised to Embassy status on September 27, 1949 when Ras H.S.

David Stern, the longtime NBA commissioner who transformed the league through television deals and other media partnerships, died Wednesday, three weeks after suffering a brain hemorrhage. He was 77. “For 22 years, I had a courtside seat to watch David in action,” current NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “He was a mentor and one of my dearest friends. We spent countless hours in the office, at arenas and on planes wherever the game would take us. Like every NBA legend, David had extraordinary talents, but with him it was always about the fundamentals – preparation, attention to detail, and hard work.” Silver credited Stern with modernizing the league after taking over in 1984 when the game was at a crossroads. “But over the course of 30 years as commissioner, he ushered in the modern global NBA. He launched groundbreaking media and marketing partnerships, digital assets and social responsibility programs that have brought the game to billions of people around the world,” Silver said. Stern retired as NBA commissioner on Feb. 1, 2014 after a 30-year tenure. In recent years, Stern worked as a sports and media consultant under his DJS Global Advisors banner, with clients that included the NBA. Stern also worked with private investment firm PJT Partners and venture capital firm Greycroft Partners. He was a frequent speaker on the business and media conference circuit. On Nov. 15, Stern and NHL commissioner Gary Bettman swapped stories and insights about brand-building during a lively session at the Paley Center for Media’s International Council Summit in New York. Bettman worked with Stern at the NBA before moving to the NHL. Bettman hailed Stern as his mentor and long-time friend in a statement. “He was a man of great vision and energy who was responsible for the operational and business advancements that created the modern sports industry,” Bettman said. “David taught me how to be a commissioner and, more importantly, how to try to be a good person.” More to come…
Turn on red A turn on red is a principle of law permitting vehicles at a traffic light showing a red signal to turn into the direction of traffic nearer to them (almost always after a complete stop) when the way is clear, without having to wait for a green signal. It is intended to allow traffic to resume moving, with minimal risk provided that proper caution is observed.

One mustn't overlook the doctrines of Galen: In use from his life in the 1st century AD until the 17th century, it was heresy to disagree with him for 1500 years. Galen was physician to gladiators in Pergamon, and in Rome, physician to Marcus Aurelius and the three emperors who succeeded him. Most of Galen's teachings were gathered and enhanced in the late 11th century by Benedictine monks at the School of Salerno in Regimen sanitatis Salernitanum, which still had users in the 17th century. Galen believed in the bodily humours of Hippocrates, and he taught that pneuma is the source of life. Four elements (earth, air, fire and water) combine into "complexion", which combines into states (the four temperaments: sanguine, phlegmatic, choleric, and melancholic). The states are made up of pairs of attributes (hot and moist, cold and moist, hot and dry, and cold and dry), which are made of four humours: blood, phlegm, green (or yellow) bile, and black bile (the bodily form of the elements). Galen thought that for a person to have gout, kidney stones, or arthritis was scandalous, which Gratzer likens to Samuel Butler's Erehwon (1872) where sickness is a crime.
Timpani From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search"Kettledrum" redirects here. For the racehorse, see Kettledrum (horse). For the informal afternoon tea gathering, see tea party. Timpani A timpanist at work Percussion instrument Other names Kettle drums, Timps, Pauken Hornbostel–Sachs classification 211.11-922 (Struck membranophone with membrane lapped on by a rim)Developed at least c. 6th century ADPlaying range Ranges of individual sizes [1]Related instruments Kus Naqareh Timpani sound Timpani ( / ˈ t ɪ m p ə n i /; [2] Italian pronunciation: [ˈtimpani]) or kettledrums (also informally called timps [2]) are musical instruments in the percussion family. A type of drum, they consist of a skin called a head stretched over a large bowl traditionally made of copper. Most modern timpani are pedal timpani and can be tuned quickly and accurately to specific pitches by skilled players through the use of a movable foot-pedal. They are played by striking the head with a specialized drum stick called a timpani stick or timpani mallet. Timpani evolved from military drums to become a staple of the classical orchestra by the last third of the 18th century. Today, they are used in many types of ensembles, including concert bands, marching bands, orchestras, and even in some rock. Timpani is an Italian plural, the singular of which is timpano. However, in English the term timpano is only widely in use by practitioners: several are more typically referred to collectively as kettledrums, timpani, temple drums, timp-toms, or timps. They are also often incorrectly termed timpanis. A musician who plays timpani is a timpanist.

[4] Alternative spellings with y in place of either or both i' s— tympani, tympany, or timpany —are occasionally encountered in older English texts. Although the word timpani has been widely adopted in the English language, some English speakers choose to use the word kettledrums. [5] The German word for timpani is Pauken; the Swedish word is pukor in plural (from the word puka), the French and Spanish is timbales. The Ashanti pair of talking drums are known as atumpan. The tympanum is defined in the Etymologiae of St. Isidore of Seville: Tympanum est pellis vel corium ligno ex una parte extentum. Est enim pars media symphoniae in similitudinem cribri. Tympanum autem dictum quod medium est. Unde, et margaritum medium tympanum dicitur, et ipsum ut symphonia ad virgulam percutitur. The tympanum is [an instrument made of] skin or hide stretched over a hollow wooden vessel which extends out. It is said by the symphonias to resemble a sieve, but has also been likened to half a pearl. It is struck with a wand [stick], beating time for the symphonia. The reference comparing the tympanum to half a pearl is borrowed from Pliny the Elder. [6]Construction [ edit]Basic timpani [ edit]The basic timpano consists of a drumhead stretched across the opening of a bowl typically made of copper [7] or, in less expensive models, fiberglass and sometimes aluminum. In the Sachs–Hornbostel classification, the timpani are thus considered membranophones. The head is affixed to a hoop (also called a fleshhoop ), [5] which in turn is held onto the bowl by a counterhoop, [5] which is then held by means of a number of tuning screws called tension rods placed regularly around the circumference. The head's tension can be adjusted by loosening or tightening the rods. Most timpani have six to eight tension rods. [7]The shape of the bowl contributes to the quality of the drum. For example, hemispheric bowls produce brighter tones while parabolic bowls produce darker tones. [8] Another factor that affects the timbre is the quality of the bowl's surface. Copper bowls may have a smooth, machined surface or a rough surface with many small dents hammered into it. Timpani come in a variety of sizes from about 33 inches (84 cm) in diameter down to piccoli timpani of 12 inches (30 cm) or less. [5] A 33-inch drum can produce C 2 (the C below the bass clef ), and specialty piccoli timpani can play up into the treble clef. In Darius Milhaud 's 1923 ballet score La création du monde, the timpanist must play F ♯ 4 (at the bottom of the treble clef). Each drum typically has a range of a perfect fifth. [5]Walter Light pedal and chain timpani set up in three different combinations. Machine timpani [ edit]Changing the pitch of a timpani by turning each tension rod individually is a laborious process. In the late 19th century, mechanical systems to change the tension of the entire head at once were developed. Any timpani equipped with such a system may be considered machine timpani, although this term commonly refers to drums that use a handle connected to a spider-type tuning mechanism. [7]Pedal timpani [ edit]By far the most common type of timpani used today are pedal timpani, which allows the tension of the head to be adjusted using a pedal mechanism. Typically, the pedal is connected to the tension screws via an assembly of either cast metal or metal rods called the spider. A pedal on a Dresden timpano—the clutch (seen here on the left) must be disengaged to change the pitch of the drum. The inside, bottom of a Yamaha pedal timpano, showing the mechanical tension-adjusting system There are three types of pedal mechanisms in common use today: The ratchet clutch system uses a ratchet and pawl to hold the pedal in place. The timpanist must first disengage the clutch before using the pedal to tune the drum. When the desired pitch is achieved, the timpanist must then reengage the clutch. Because the ratchet engages in only a fixed set of positions, the timpanist must fine-tune the drum by means of a fine-tuning handle. In the balanced action system, a spring or hydraulic cylinder is used to balance the tension on the head so the pedal will stay in position and the head will stay at pitch. The pedal on a balanced action drum is sometimes called a floating pedal since there is no clutch holding it in place. The friction clutch or post and clutch system uses a clutch that moves along a post. Disengaging the clutch frees it from the post, allowing the pedal to move without restraint. Professional-level timpani use either the ratchet or friction system and have copper bowls. These drums can have one of two styles of pedals. The Dresden pedal is attached at the side nearest the timpanist and is operated by ankle motion. A Berlin -style pedal is attached by means of a long arm to the opposite side of the timpani, and the timpanist must use his entire leg to adjust the pitch. In addition to a pedal, high-end instruments have a hand-operated fine-tuner, which allows the timpanist to make minute pitch adjustments. The pedal is on either the left or right side of the drum depending on the direction of the setup. Most school bands and orchestras below a university level use less expensive, more durable timpani with copper, fiberglass, or aluminum bowls. The mechanical parts of these instruments are almost completely contained within the frame and bowl. They may use any of the pedal mechanisms, though the balanced action system is by far the most common, followed by the friction clutch system. Many professionals also use these drums for outdoor performances due to their durability and lighter weight. The pedal is in the center of the drum itself. Chain timpani [ edit]On chain timpani, a chain links the tension rods so a master handle can be used to turn them all at once. On chain timpani, the tension rods are connected by a roller chain much like the one found on a bicycle, though some manufacturers have used other materials, including steel cable. In these systems, all the tension screws can then be tightened or loosened by one handle. Though far less common than pedal timpani, chain and cable drums still have practical uses. Occasionally, a timpanist is forced to place a drum behind other items, so he cannot reach it with his foot. Professionals may also use exceptionally large or small chain and cable drums for special low or high notes. Other tuning mechanisms [ edit]A rare tuning mechanism allows the pitch to be changed by rotating the drum itself. A similar system is used on rototoms. Jenco, a company better known for mallet percussion, made timpani tuned in this fashion. In the early 20th century, Hans Schnellar, the timpanist of the Vienna Philharmonic, developed a tuning mechanism in which the bowl is moved via a handle that connects to the base and the head remains stationary. These instruments are referred to as Viennese timpani ( Wiener Pauken) or Schnellar timpani. [9]Adams Musical Instruments developed a pedal-operated version of this tuning mechanism in the early 21st century. Heads [ edit]Like most drumheads, timpani heads can be made from two materials: animal skin (typically calfskin or goatskin) [5] or plastic (typically PET film ). Plastic heads are durable, weather-resistant, and relatively inexpensive. Thus, they are more commonly used than skin heads. However, many professional timpanists prefer skin heads because they produce a "warmer" timbre. Timpani heads are sized based on the size of the head, not the bowl. For example, a 23-inch (58 cm) drum may require a 25-inch (64 cm) head. This 2-inch (5 cm) size difference has been standardized by most timpani manufacturers since 1978. [10]Sticks and mallets [ edit]Timpanists use a variety of timpani sticks since each produces a different timbre. Timpani are typically struck with a special type of drum stick called a timpani stick or timpani mallet. Timpani sticks are used in pairs. They have two components: a shaft and a head. The shaft is typically made from hardwood or bamboo but may also be made from aluminum or carbon fiber. The head can be constructed from a number of different materials, though felt wrapped around a wooden core is the most common. Other core materials include compressed felt, cork, and leather, and other wrap materials include chamois. Unwrapped sticks with heads of wood, felt, flannel, and leather are also common. [5] Wooden sticks are used as a special effect—specifically requested by composers as early as the Romantic era—and in authentic performances of Baroque music. Although not usually stated in the score, timpanists will change sticks to suit the nature of the music. However, the choice during a performance is subjective and depends on the timpanist's preference and occasionally the wishes of the conductor. Thus, most timpanists own a great number of sticks. [5] The weight of the stick, size and latent surface area of the head, materials used for the shaft, core, and wrap, and method used to wrap the head all contribute to the timbre the stick produces. [11]In the early 20th century and before, sticks were often made with whalebone shafts, wooden cores, and sponge wraps. Composers of that era often specified sponge-headed sticks. Modern timpanists execute such passages with felt sticks. Popular grips [ edit]The two most common grips in playing the timpani are the German and French grips. In the German grip, the palm of the hand is approximately parallel with the drum head and the thumb should be on the side of the stick. In the French grip, the palm of the hand is approximately perpendicular with drum head and the thumb is on top of the stick. In both of these styles, as with most percussion grips, the fulcrum is the contact between the thumb and middle finger. The index finger is used as a guide and to help lift the stick off of the drum. [12] The American grip is a hybrid of these two grips. Another known grip is known as the Amsterdam Grip, made famous by the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, which is similar to the Hinger grip, except the stick is cradled on the lower knuckle of the index finger. In the modern ensemble [ edit]A standard set of timpani consists of four drums. Standard set [ edit]A standard set of timpani (sometimes called a console) consists of four drums: roughly 32 inches (81 cm), 29 inches (74 cm), 26 inches (66 cm), and 23 inches (58 cm) in diameter. [13] The range of this set is roughly D 2to A 3. A great majority of the orchestral repertoire can be played using these four drums. However, contemporary composers have written for extended ranges. Igor Stravinsky specifically writes for a piccolo timpano in The Rite of Spring, tuned to B 3. A piccolo drum is typically 20 inches (51 cm) in diameter and can reach pitches up to C 4. Beyond this extended set of five instruments, any added drums are nonstandard. ( Luigi Nono 's Al gran sole carico d'amore requires as many as eleven drums, with actual melodies played on them in octaves by two players.) Many professional orchestras and timpanists own more than just one set of timpani, allowing them to execute music that cannot be more accurately performed using a standard set of four or five drums and music that requires more than one set of timpani. Many schools and youth orchestra ensembles unable to afford purchase of this equipment regularly rely on a set of two or three timpani, sometimes referred to as "the orchestral three". [5] It consists of 29-inch (74 cm), 26-inch (66 cm), and 23-inch (58 cm) drums. Its range extends down only to F 2. The drums are set up in an arc around the performer. Traditionally, North American, British, and French timpanists set their drums up with the lowest drum on the left and the highest on the right (commonly called the American system), while German, Austrian, and Greek players set them up in the reverse order, as to resemble a drum set or upright bass. (the German system). [5] This distinction is not strict, as many North American players use the German setup and vice versa. Players [ edit]Balanced action timpani are often used in outdoor performances because of their durability. Throughout their education, timpanists are trained as percussionists, and they learn to play all instruments of the percussion family along with timpani. However, when appointed to a principal timpani chair in a professional ensemble, a timpanist is not normally required to play any other instruments. In his book Anatomy of the Orchestra, Norman Del Mar writes that the timpanist is "king of his own province", and that "a good timpanist really does set the standard of the whole orchestra." A qualified member of the percussion section sometimes doubles as associate timpanist, performing in repertoire requiring multiple timpanists and filling in for the principal timpanist when required. Among the professionals who have been highly regarded for their virtuosity and impact on the development of the timpani in the 20th century are Saul Goodman, Hans Schnellar, Fred Hinger, and Cloyd Duff. [14] [15] [16]Burleske Richard Strauss 's Burleske begins with the main theme played on the timpani. Problems playing this file? See media help. "Jupiter" from The Planets suite (excerpt)In the beginning of "Jupiter" from Holst 's The Planets, the two timpanists echo the main theme. Problems playing this file? See media help. Concertos [ edit]A few solo concertos have been written for timpani. They are for timpani and orchestral accompaniment. The 18th-century composer Johann Fischer wrote a symphony for eight timpani and orchestra, which requires the solo timpanist to play eight drums simultaneously. Rough contemporaries Georg Druschetzky and Johann Melchior Molter also wrote pieces for timpani and orchestra. Throughout the 19th century and much of the 20th, there were few new timpani concertos. In 1983, William Kraft, principal timpanist of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, composed his Concerto for Timpani and Orchestra, which won second prize in the Kennedy Center Friedheim Awards. There have been other timpani concertos, notably, Philip Glass, considered one of the most influential composers of the late 20th century, [17] wrote a double concerto at the behest of soloist Jonathan Haas titled Concerto Fantasy for Two Timpanists and Orchestra, which features its soloists playing nine drums apiece. [18]Performance techniques [ edit]Striking [ edit]For general playing, a timpanist will beat the head approximately 4 inches (10 cm) in from the edge. [13] Beating at this spot produces the round, resonant sound commonly associated with timpani. A timpani roll (most commonly signaled in a score by tr) is executed by rapidly striking the drum, alternating between left and right sticks, extending the duration of the sound as required and allowing increases or decreases in volume. Anton Bruckner 's Symphony No. 7 requires a continuous roll on a drum for over two and a half minutes. In general, timpanists do not use multiple bounce rolls like those played on the snare drum, as the soft nature of timpani sticks causes the rebound of the stick to be reduced, causing multiple bounce rolls to sound muffled. [5]The tone quality can be altered without switching sticks or adjusting the tuning. For example, by playing closer to the edge, the sound becomes thinner. [5] A more staccato sound can be produced by changing the velocity of the stroke or playing closer to the center. There are many more variations in technique that a timpanist uses during the course of playing to produce subtle timbral differences. Tuning [ edit]Prior to playing, the timpanist must clear the heads by equalizing the tension at each tuning screw. This is done so every spot is tuned to exactly the same pitch. When the head is clear, the timpani will produce an in-tune sound. If the head is not clear, the pitch will rise or fall after the initial impact of a stroke, and the drum will produce different pitches at different dynamic levels. Timpanists are required to have a well-developed sense of relative pitch and must develop techniques to tune in an undetectable manner and accurately in the middle of a performance. Tuning is often tested with a light tap from a finger, which produces a near-silent note. Some timpani are equipped with tuning gauges, which provide a visual indication of the pitch. They are physically connected either to the counterhoop, in which case the gauge indicates how far the counterhoop is pushed down, or the pedal, in which case the gauge indicates the position of the pedal. These gauges are accurate when used correctly. However, when the instrument is disturbed in some fashion (transported, for example), the overall pitch can change, thus the markers on the gauges may not remain reliable unless they have been adjusted immediately preceding the performance. The pitch can also be changed by room temperature and humidity. This effect also occurs due to changes in weather, especially if an outdoor performance is to take place. Gauges are especially useful when performing music that involves fast tuning changes that do not allow the timpanist to listen to the new pitch before playing it. Even when gauges are available, good timpanists will check their intonation by ear before playing. Occasionally, timpanists use the pedals to retune while playing. Portamento effects can be achieved by changing the pitch while it can still be heard. This is commonly called a glissando, though this use of the term is not strictly correct. The most effective glissandos are those from low to high notes and those performed during rolls. One of the first composers to call for a timpani glissando was Carl Nielsen, who used two sets of timpani playing glissandos at the same time in his Symphony No. 4 ("The Inextinguishable"). Sonata for two pianos and percussion, first movement (excerpt)This segment of Bartók 's Sonata for two pianos and percussion features pedal glissandos during a timpani roll. Problems playing this file? See media help. Pedaling refers to changing the pitch with the pedal; it is an alternate term for tuning. In general, timpanists reserve this term for passages where they must change the pitch in the midst of playing. Early 20th-century composers such as Nielsen, Béla Bartók, Samuel Barber, and Richard Strauss took advantage of the freedom that pedal timpani afforded, often giving the timpani the bass line. This chromatic passage from the Intermezzo interrotto movement of Bartók 's Concerto for Orchestra requires the timpanist to use the pedals to play all the pitches. One way of executing this passage is annotated here: The lowest and highest drum stay on F and E ♭, respectively. All pedaling is executed on the middle two drums. Each pedal change is indicated by a colored line: red for the larger and blue for the smaller of the middle drums. Concerto for Orchestra (excerpt)In this passage from the Intermezzo interrotto movement of Bartók 's Concerto for Orchestra, the timpanist plays a chromatic bass line, which requires using the pedal to change pitches. Problems playing this file? See media help. Muffling [ edit]Since timpani have a long sustain, muffling or dampening is an inherent part of playing. Often, timpanists will muffle notes so they only sound for the length indicated by the composer. However, early timpani did not resonate nearly as long as modern timpani, so composers often wrote a note when the timpanist was to hit the drum without concern for sustain. Today, timpanists must use their ear and the score to determine the length the note should sound. The typical method of muffling is to place the pads of the fingers against the head while holding onto the timpani stick with the thumb and index finger. Timpanists are required to develop techniques to stop all vibration without making any sound from the contact of their fingers. [13]Muffling is often referred to as muting, which can also refer to playing with mutes on them ( see below ). Extended techniques [ edit]It is typical for only one timpani to be struck at a time, but occasionally composers will ask for two notes. This is called a double stop, a term borrowed from the string instrument vocabulary. Ludwig van Beethoven uses this effect in the slow third movement of his Ninth Symphony, as do Johannes Brahms in the second movement of his German Requiem and Aaron Copland in El Salón México. Some modern composers occasionally require more than two notes. In this case, a timpanist can hold two sticks in one hand much like a marimba player, or more than one timpanist can be employed. In his Overture to Benvenuto Cellini, for example, Hector Berlioz realizes fully voiced chords from the timpani by requiring three timpanists and assigning one drum to each. He goes as far as ten timpanists playing three- and four-part chords on sixteen drums in his Requiem, although with the introduction of pedal tuning, this number can be reduced. Modern composers will often specify the beating spot to alter the sound of the drum. When the timpani are struck directly in the center, they have a sound that is almost completely devoid of tone and resonance. George Gershwin uses this effect in An American in Paris. Struck close to the edge, timpani produce a very thin, hollow sound. This effect is used by composers such as Bartók, Bernstein, and Kodály. A variation of this is to strike the head while two fingers of one hand lightly press and release spots near the center. The head will then vibrate at a harmonic much like the similar effect on a string instrument. Resonance can cause timpani not in use to vibrate, causing a quieter sound to be produced. Timpanists must normally avoid this effect, called sympathetic resonance, but composers have exploited it in solo pieces such as Elliott Carter 's Eight Pieces for Four Timpani. Resonance is reduced by dampening or muting the drums, and in some cases composers will specify that timpani be played con sordino ( with mute) or coperti ( covered ), both of which indicate that mutes—typically small pieces of felt or leather—should be placed on the head. Composers will sometimes specify that the timpani should struck with implements other than timpani sticks. It is common in timpani etudes and solos for timpanists to play with their hands or fingers. Philip Glass 's "Concerto Fantasy" utilizes this technique during a timpani cadenza. Also, Michael Daugherty 's "Raise The Roof" calls for this technique to be used for a certain passage. Leonard Bernstein calls for maracas on timpani in the "Jeremiah" Symphony and Symphonic Dances from West Side Story. Edward Elgar attempts to use the timpani to imitate the engine of an ocean liner in his "Enigma" Variations by requesting the timpanist play a soft roll with snare drum sticks. However, snare drum sticks tend to produce too loud a sound, and since this work's premiere, the passage has been performed by striking with coins. Benjamin Britten asks for the timpanist to use drumsticks in his War Requiem to evoke the sound of a field drum. Robert W. Smith 's Songs of Sailor and Sea calls for a "whale sound" on the timpani. This is achieved by moistening the thumb and rubbing it from the edge to the center of the head. Among other techniques used primarily in solo work, such as John Beck's Sonata for Timpani, is striking the bowls. Timpanists tend to be reluctant to strike the bowls at loud levels or with hard sticks since copper can be dented easily due to its soft nature. On some occasions a composer may ask for a metal object, commonly an upside-down cymbal, to be placed upon the head and then struck or rolled while executing a glissando on the drum. Joseph Schwantner used this technique in From A Dark Millennium. Carl Orff asks for cymbals resting on the head while the drum is struck in his later works. Additionally, Michael Daugherty, in his concerto "Raise The Roof," utilizes this technique. History [ edit]In the 15th century, timpani were used with trumpets as ceremonial instruments in the cavalry. Further information: Evolution of Timpani in the 18th and 19th centuries A camel with its rider playing kettledrums in the Mughal Empire. Pre-orchestral history [ edit]It has been said that the first recorded use of early Tympanum was in "ancient times when it is known that they were used in religious ceremonies by Hebrews." [13] The Moon of Pejeng, also known as the Pejeng Moon, [19] in Bali, the largest single-cast bronze kettle drum in the world, [20] is more than two thousand years old. [21] The Moon of Pejeng is "the largest known relic from Southeast Asia's Bronze Age period." [22] The drum is in the Pura Penataran Sasih temple." [23]A naqareh from Rajasthan, India In 1188, Cambro-Norman chronicler Gerald of Wales wrote, " Ireland uses and delights in two instruments only, the harp namely, and the tympanum. " [24]Arabian nakers, the direct ancestors of most timpani, were brought to 13th-century Continental Europe by Crusaders and Saracens. [7] These drums, which were small (with a diameter of about 8 to 8 1⁄ 2 inches (20–22 cm)) and mounted to the player's belt, were used primarily for military ceremonies. This form of timpani remained in use until the 16th century. In 1457, a Hungarianlegation sent by King Ladislaus V carried larger timpani mounted on horseback to the court of King Charles VII in France. This variety of timpani had been used in the Middle East since the 12th century. These drums evolved together with trumpets to be the primary instruments of the cavalry. This practice continues to this day in sections of the British Army, and timpani continued to be paired with trumpets when they entered the classical orchestra. The medieval European timpani were typically put together by hand in the southern region of France. Some drums were tightened together by horses tugging from each side of the drum by the bolts. Over the next two centuries, a number of technical improvements were made to timpani. Originally, the head was nailed directly to the shell of the drum. In the 15th century, heads began to be attached and tension-ed by a counter hoop that was tied directly to the shell. In the early 16th century, the bindings were replaced by screws. This allowed timpani to become tune-able instruments of definite pitch. [5] The Industrial Revolution enabled the introduction of new construction techniques and materials, in particular machine and pedal tuning mechanisms. Plastic heads were introduced in the mid-20th century, led by Remo. [25]Role in orchestra [ edit]Further information: Evolution of Timpani in the 18th and 19th centuries"No written kettledrum music survives from the 16th century, because the technique and repertory were learned by oral tradition and were kept secret. An early example of trumpet and kettledrum music occurs at the beginning of Monteverdi’s opera Orfeo (1607)." [26] Later in the Baroque era, Johann Sebastian Bach wrote a secular cantata titled " Tönet, ihr Pauken! Erschallet, Trompeten! ", which translates roughly to "Sound off, ye timpani! Sound, trumpets!" Naturally, the timpani are placed at the forefront: the piece starts with a timpani solo and the chorus and timpani trade the melody back and forth. Bach reworked this movement in part 1 of the Christmas Oratorio. Although by the early 19th century, timpani were most commonly found in orchestras, ceremonial trumpet and timpani ensembles still existed. Ludwig van Beethoven revolutionized timpani music in the early 19th century. He not only wrote for drums tuned to intervals other than a fourth or fifth, but he gave a prominence to the instrument as an independent voice beyond programmatic use. For example, his Violin Concerto (1806) opens with four solo timpani strokes, and the scherzo of his Ninth Symphony (1824) sets the timpani (tuned an octave apart) against the orchestra in a sort of call and response. [27]The next major innovator was Hector Berlioz. He was the first composer to indicate the exact sticks that should be used—" felt -covered", "wooden", etc. In several of his works, including Symphonie fantastique (1830), and his Requiem (1837), he demanded the use of several timpanists at once. [13]Until the late 19th century, timpani were hand-tuned; that is, there was a sequence of screws with T -shaped handles, called taps, which altered the tension in the head when turned by players. Thus, tuning was a relatively slow operation, and composers had to allow a reasonable amount of time for players to change notes if they were called to tune in the middle of a work. The first 'machine' timpani, with a single tuning handle, was developed in 1812. [28] The first pedal timpani originated in Dresden in the 1870s and are called Dresden timpani for this reason. [7] However, since vellum was used for the heads of the drums, automated solutions were difficult to implement since the tension would vary unpredictably across the drum. This could be compensated for by hand-tuning, but not easily by a pedal drum. Mechanisms continued to improve in the early 20th century. Despite these problems, composers eagerly exploited the opportunities the new mechanism had to offer. By 1915, Carl Nielsen was demanding glissandos on timpani in his Fourth Symphony—impossible on the old hand-tuned drums. However, it took Béla Bartók to more fully realize the flexibility the new mechanism had to offer. Many of his timpani parts require such a range of notes that it would be unthinkable to attempt them without pedal drums. In the 17th and 18th centuries, timpani were almost always tuned with the dominant note of the piece on the low drum and the tonic on the high drum—a perfect fourth apart. Until the early 19th century the dominant (the note of the large drum) was written as G and the tonic (the note of the small drum) was written as C no matter what the actual key of the work was, and whether it was major or minor, with the actual pitches indicated at the top of the score (for example, Timpani in D–A for a work in D major or D minor). [7] This notation style however was not universal: Bach, Mozart, and Schubert (in his early works) used it, but their respective contemporaries Handel, Haydn, and Beethoven wrote for the timpani at concert pitch. [29]In the 2010s, even though they are written at concert pitch, timpani parts continue to be most often [30] but not always [31] written with no key signature, no matter what key the work is in: accidentals are written in the staff, both in the timpanist's part and the conductor's score. Outside the orchestra [ edit]This 1976 photograph shows marching timpani grounded with legs extended. John Bonham of Led Zeppelin with a timpani. Later, timpani were adopted into other classical music ensembles such as concert bands. In the 1970s, marching bands and drum and bugle corps, which evolved both from traditional marching bands and concert bands, began to include marching timpani. Unlike concert timpani, marching versions had fiberglass shells to make them light enough to carry. Each player carried a single drum, which was tuned by a hand crank. Often, during intricate passages, the timpani players would put their drums on the ground by means of extendable legs, and performed more like conventional timpani, yet with a single player per drum. In the late 1970s and early 1980s, marching arts-based organizations' allowance for timpani and other percussion instruments to be permanently grounded became mainstream. This was the beginning of the end for marching timpani: Eventually, standard concert timpani found their way onto the football field as part of the front ensemble, and marching timpani fell out of common usage. Timpani are still used by the Mounted Bands of the Household Division of the British Army. [32]As rock and roll bands started seeking to diversify their sound, timpani found their way into the studio. In 1959 Leiber and Stoller made the innovative use of timpani in their production of the Drifters' recording, "There Goes My Baby." Starting in the 1960s, drummers for high-profile rock acts like The Beatles, Cream, Led Zeppelin, The Beach Boys, and Queen incorporated timpani into their music. This led to the use of timpani in progressive rock. Emerson, Lake & Palmer recorded a number of rock covers of classical pieces that utilize timpani. Rush drummer Neil Peart added a tympani to his expanding arsenal of percussion for the Hemispheres (1978) and Permanent Waves (1980) albums and tours, and would later sample tympani in his drum solo, "The Rhythm Method" in 1988. More recently, the rock band Muse has incorporated timpani into some of their classically based songs, most notably in Exogenesis: Symphony, Part I (Overture). Jazz musicians also experimented with timpani. Sun Ra used it occasionally in his Arkestra (played, for example, by percussionist Jim Herndon on the songs "Reflection in Blue" and "El Viktor," both recorded in 1957). In 1964, Elvin Jones incorporated timpani into his drum kit on John Coltrane 's four-part composition A Love Supreme. Jonathan Haas is one of the few timpanists who markets himself as a soloist. Haas, who began his career as a solo timpanist in 1980, is notable for performing music from many genres including jazz, rock, and classical. He released an album with a rather unconventional jazz band called Johnny H. and the Prisoners of Swing. Glass's Concerto Fantasy, commissioned by Haas, put two soloists in front of the orchestra, an atypical placement for the instruments. [18] Haas also commissioned Susman's Floating Falling for timpani and cello.

Right to privacy Although the Constitution does not explicitly include the right to privacy, the Supreme Court has found that the Constitution implicitly grants a right to privacy against governmental intrusion from the First Amendment, Third Amendment, Fourth Amendment, and the Fifth Amendment.[17] This right to privacy has been the justification for decisions involving a wide range of civil liberties cases, including Pierce v. Society of Sisters, which invalidated a successful 1922 Oregon initiative requiring compulsory public education, Griswold v. Connecticut, where a right to privacy was first established explicitly, Roe v. Wade, which struck down a Texas abortion law and thus restricted state powers to enforce laws against abortion, and Lawrence v. Texas, which struck down a Texas sodomy law and thus eliminated state powers to enforce laws against sodomy.
Veena Vaadanam (Recital of Music) (മലയാളം: ) is an Indian documentary film in Malayalam language, directed by Sathish Kalathil. The film shot in digital format and it produced by Kalathil Creative Heads under the banner of Akhil Krishna Films, released in 2008, of 28.23 minutes' duration. The documentary is the first experimental work which shot through a mobile phone camera in India. Nokia N70 music edition mobile phone with 2 megapixel video resolution was fully used to capture the film. In the period of "Veena Vaadanam", it was the only eligible and costly camera phone to capture videos with a best visual quality. After post production works, the output can telecast with a comfortable visual clarity in Television or screen with a projector .
Fire and Blood (Game of Thrones) Daenerys and her remaining followers build a funeral pyre for Drogo. Daenerys places her dragon eggs atop the pyre, and she orders Ser Jorah to tie Mirri to it. Having set fire to the pyre, Daenerys declares herself queen of a new khalasar, freeing those who would remain with her. Despite Jorah's worries, Daenerys then steps into the pyre. By daybreak, Jorah and the khalasar are surprised to find her unharmed in the ashes, carrying three dragon hatchlings. Amazed, they bow to Daenerys as one of the hatchlings clambers onto her shoulder and a dragon's screech is heard for the first time in centuries.
. Did you know that: It takes:o 3 days for an egg to hatch.o 8 days from when the queen lays an egg for the larvae to be capped.o 21 days from when the queen lays an egg for a worker bee to emerge from the cell.o 24 days from when the queen lays an egg for a drone to emerge from the cell.o 16 days from when the queen lays an egg for a virgin queen to emerge from the cell. Honey Bees have 2 sets of wings, and six legs. Honey bees have two stomachs. Honey bees fly up to 2 miles for nectar and pollen. There is only one queen bee in a hive of up to 70,000A queen bee can lay up to 2000 eggs a day. There are 3 kinds of bees in a hive: One queen, up to 1,500 male (Drones), and all the rest are female workers. Drones do not sting! Only the females do. There are 52 kinds of bees. There are 16 kinds of honey bees. There can only be one queen bee per hive, if there is more than one they will fight to the death or swarm. The queen bee can live to 3-5 years. The worker bees only live 6 weeks in the summer, but will slow down in the winter and will live 8 weeks or longer. The workers do a dance to show direction and duration to where food is located. Honey bees will fly up to 2 miles in any direction for food if they have to. Honey bees will only fly if it 55 degrees or warmer. The temperature in a hive in the middle of winter will be 75 degrees. The temperature in a hive in the middle of summer will be 95 degrees, for brood production. Honey bees stuff pollen in 'baskets' on their legs, and can carry almost half their weight in pollen. Honey bees create wax in little flakes from glands under their abdomens. Honey bees can not see the color white. That is why it is good to wear white in the summer. That is why bee suits are white. You are more likely to get stung on windy, warm days because wind can push them into your path easily. It takes nearly 48 bees in their life time to actually make 2 table spoons of honey. Honey bees can often be seen fanning the entrance of their hive, they are trying to evaporate the excess water out from the nectar they have collected to make honey, which also helps to regulate the hive temperature. Honey can last indefinitely if stored correctly; at less than 18.5% moisture content. Examples of honey were found in the Egyptian tombs. Honey has been used for medicine by the Egyptians as far back as 5000 years!Honey is very good for burns, abrasions, and indigestion. The sting of the honey bee is used for arthritis; which is called Apitherapy. There are over 300 varieties of honey, because there are over 300 kinds of flowers. Darker honey has higher mineral content and antioxidant potential. Honey should not be fed to babies under the age of 1 year due to the botulin toxin. Honey is an effective antimicrobial agent, which inhibits growth of bacteria. Honey has an approximate p H of 3.9Did you know that honey: Bees need to provide 70,000 loads of nectar, and travel 50,000 miles to produce a single pound of honey. Bee colonies have been known to produce up to 300 pounds of honey in a single season. Is a “perfect food,” which contains: large amounts of vitamins, minerals. Being particularly rich in vitamins B & C as well as vitamin A, beta-carotene, D, E, and KHas all of the B-complex that are needed in the system for digestion and metabolism of sugar. Also is rich in minerals such as calcium, phosphorus, magnesium, potassium, silicon, iron potassium, iodine, manganese etc. Varieties can contain as much as 300 milligrams of vitamin C per 100 grams of honey. Has a PH of 3.4 – 3.6, and can kill many kinds of bacteria it comes in contact with. Has been proven to exhibit significant inhibitory effects on the bacteria that cause gastric ulcers. Has been referenced by the ancient Greeks, Assyrians, Chinese and Romans Has biblical references such as “Land of milk and Honey”, “Honeycomb” and is also mentioned in other religious texts such as the Koran. Contains valuable nutrients that are easily digested by our bodies. Has the potential to top 300 varieties. In the raw form has a more therapeutic value. That there are 75 substances found in honey. Is highest composition of Glucose, and fructose. Has monosaccharide (simple sugars), which are more easily assimilated than any other forms. Does contain proteins, carbohydrates, and organic acids, along with antimicrobial compounds. Is an invert sugar, and is composed of 38% fructose, 31% glucose, 1% sucrose, and 9% additional sugars. Has 63 calories of good carbohydrates and energy. Has ample supplies of live enzymes, which are required for the proper functioning of all body systems. In fact it is one of the foods with the highest content of enzymes. Has very good antioxidant properties. Characteristic properties provide : antibiotic, antiviral, anti-inflammatory, anti-carcinogenic, expectorant, anti-allergic, laxative, anti-anemic. Targets body systems such as: Intestinal, Integumentary, skeletal. In a spoonful, has glycogen and can pass into the bloodstream in 10 minutes to produce quick energy. Honey Glucose boosts absorption of essential minerals such as zinc, calcium and magnesium. Is claimed to stop bedwetting, help you to loose weight when taken 30 minutes before bed-time, and helps you to sleep more sound. Of the over 900 different remedies used in ancient Egypt, more than 500 were honey-based. Has been used as a treatment for open wounds, including war wounds. Knights of the Crusade used honey as wound dressings and found it was a very effective treatment. Ancient Egyptians and Greeks used honey to embalm their dead. Hieroglyphics refer to honey as the “universal healer” and jars were placed in tombs of the dead. Bee Pollen: Bee pollen has been 'medicinally used as far back as 2ns B. C. Honeybees pollinate 80 percent of green growing plants. Roman legionaries carried pollen cakes with them on long marches as the only source of food. Emperor Charlemagne requested honey and pollen be in the form of tax payments. Pollen contains concentrations of almost every known nutrient. Bee pollen is rich in B-vitamins, including B-1, B-2, B-3. A nutrient breakdown of Bee Pollen: Niacinamide, B-5 (Pantothe Ilic acid), B-6, B-12 Also contains Vitamin CAB Carotenoids, and Folic acid. " 20% of Bee Pollen is composed of amino acids, and proteins. It is extremely' rich in Rutin 17%, and has an undetermined amount of HGH (Human Growth Hormone ) Gonadatropin,Minerals found in Bee Pollen include: Magnesium, Calcium, Copper, Iron, Silica, Phosphorus, Sulphur, Chlorine, and Manganese. Essential fatty acids are also found in Bee Pollen. All body systems benefit from Bee Pollen, with special emphasis on reproductive, immune, and nervous systems. Bee Pollen has no restrictions and is considered a food rather than an herb or vitamin. Bee Pollen contains various properties, which can speed healing, and even protect cells, against free radical damage. The Honey Bee will only select the pollens which are rich in nitrogenous matter (amino acids), and leave poor quality behind. Not only does Bee Pollen contain a complete complement of nutrients, but its glucoside content helps transport those nutrients into the bloodstream for use. Scientific studies have found that a person can live indefinitely on Bee pollen and water . Bee pollen contains virtually all the essential nutrients which are necessary to sustain life, it is viewed as a perfect food, and a complement to any diet especially to those whose diets are unbalanced of deficient. Bee Pollen can not be reproduced in the laboratory. Its chemical make-up is so complex , that synthesizing it artificially has eluded even the best efforts in technology . Some of the chemical compounds contained in Bee pollen cannot even correctly be Identified Bee pollen is rich in protein, and free amino acids.

The Consortium first published The Unicode Standard (ISBN 0-321-18578-1) in 1991 and continues to develop standards based on that original work. The latest version of the standard, Unicode 8.0, was released in June 2015 and is available from the consortium's website. The last of the major versions (versions x.0) to be published in book form was Unicode 5.0 (ISBN 0-321-48091-0), but since Unicode 6.0 the full text of the standard is no longer being published in book form. In 2012, however, it was announced that only the core specification for Unicode version 6.1 would be made available as a 692-page print-on-demand paperback. Unlike the previous major version printings of the Standard, the print-on-demand core specification does not include any code charts or standard annexes, but the entire standard, including the core specification, will still remain freely available on the Unicode website.
How Volcanoes Work - the eruption of Mt. Pelee, Martinique MT. PELÉE ERUPTION (1902) OVERVIEW: The Tropical Paradise of St. Pierre The infamous volcano of Mt. Pelée, shown in this 1987 photo, looms over the village of St. Pierre on the French Caribbean Island of Martinique. This sleepy little village shows little of the grandeur of turn-of-the-century St. Pierre, which was a vibrant colonial city, known to European tourists as the "Paris of the West Indies." With its red-tiled cottages, rambling streets, and tropical vegetation, this prosperous little city was renowned for its beauty. In the official 1894 census, the population of St. Pierre was around 20,000. Although most were native Martiniquans, the wealth and political power were controlled largely by Creoles and a few French colonial officials and civil servants. No one at the time could have predicted the horror that was to descend on this tropical paradise with the reawakening of Mt. Pelée in the Spring of 1902. PARADISE TURNS TO HELL Although in January 1902 Mt. Pelée began to show an abrupt increase in fumarole activity , the public showed little concern. This changed, however, on April 23 when minor explosions began at the summit of the volcano. Over the next few days, St. Pierre was rocked by earth tremors, showered in ash, and enveloped in a thick cloud of choking sulfurous gas. These nightmarish conditions deteriorated further when the city and outlying villages were invaded by ground-dwelling insects and snakes driven from the slopes of Mt. Pelée by the ashfalls and tremors. Horses, pigs, and dogs screamed as red ants and foot-long centipedes crawled up their legs and bit them. Thousands of poisonous snakes joined the fray. An estimated 50 humans, mostly children, died by the snake bites, along with some 200 animals. As the summit eruptions intensified, water in the Etang Sec crater lake was heated to near boiling. On May 5, the crater rim gave way, sending a torrent of scalding water cascading down the River Blanche. The hot water mixed with loose pyroclastic debris to generate a massive lahar with a downslope speed of nearly 100 kilometers per hour. This large volcanic mudflow buried everything in its path. Near the mouth of the river, north of St. Pierre, it overran a rum distillery, killing 23 workmen. The lahar continued into the sea, where it generated a three-meter-high tsunami which flooded the low-lying areas along the waterfront of St. Pierre. THE ELECTION Living near the volcano became increasingly stressful, leading many to consider leaving St. Pierre for Martinique's second city, Fort-de-France. On the day of the lahar, however, Governor Louis Mouttet received a report from a committee of civic leaders who climbed the volcano to assess the danger. The only scientist in the group was a local high school teacher. The report stated that "there is nothing in the activity of Mt. Pelée that warrants a departure from St. Pierre." It concluded that "the safety of St. Pierre is completely assured." The report eased the public's fears, and gave hope to city officials who were particularly anxious that voters remain in the city to cast their ballots for an election that was to be held on May 11. The only people with enough money to leave the island were the wealthy, nearly all of which belonged to the Progressive Party of Governor Mouttet. Mouttet convinced the conservative editor of the daily newspaper Les Colonies to downplay the danger of the volcano, and to lead the effort to encourage people to remain. Still, some residents left the city for Fort-de-France. This prompted Governor Mouttet to send in troops to patrol the road to Fort-de-France, with orders to turn back refugees who were trying to leave. Based on the soothing articles that appeared in Les Colonies, many people in the countryside flocked to St. Pierre thinking that it was the safest place to be. The population ballooned to about 28,000, nearly all of which would perish in the cataclysmic eruption of May 8. THE ERUPTION OF MAY 8, 1902 The election scheduled for May 11 would not take plac
They have an agreement with the organization that oversees domain names; that organization is [ICANN](_URL_0_). Anybody can buy any domain name from any registrar (if they sell that TLD and meet the TLD requirements). There are companies that pay a lot of money to be a registry operator (like .biz and .tv), and they get to profit off of registrations and handle the administrative work. A place like GoDaddy would interface with and pay the registry operator a fee for the domain.
Since the tribunes were considered to be the embodiment of the plebeians, they were sacrosanct. Their sacrosanctity was enforced by a pledge, taken by the plebeians, to kill any person who harmed or interfered with a tribune during his term of office. All of the powers of the tribune derived from their sacrosanctity. One consequence was that it was considered a capital offense to harm a tribune, to disregard his veto, or to interfere with a tribune. In times of military emergency, a dictator would be appointed for a term of six months. Constitutional government would be dissolved, and the dictator would be the absolute master of the state. When the dictator's term ended, constitutional government would be restored.

Solar eclipse If the Moon were in a perfectly circular orbit, a little closer to the Earth, and in the same orbital plane, there would be total solar eclipses every new moon. However, since the Moon's orbit is tilted at more than 5 degrees to the Earth's orbit around the Sun, its shadow usually misses Earth. The Moon's orbit must cross Earth's ecliptic plane in order for an eclipse (both solar as well as lunar) to occur. In addition, the Moon's actual orbit is elliptical, often taking it far enough away from Earth that its apparent size is not large enough to block the Sun entirely. The orbital planes cross each other at a line of nodes resulting in at least two, and up to five, solar eclipses occurring each year; no more than two of which can be total eclipses.[1][2] However, total solar eclipses are rare at any particular location because totality exists only along a narrow path on the Earth's surface traced by the Moon's shadow or umbra.
How to Make a Full Welsh Breakfast \| Delishably How to Make a Full Welsh Breakfast How to Make a Full Welsh Breakfast Updated on March 17, 2016 Joined: 9 years agoFollowers: 694Articles: 304 25 A Brief History of the Traditional English Breakfast 10 months ago The sun rising on a full Welsh breakfast - a creation which contains a couple of major surprises you are unlikely to find in other British fried breakfasts Advertisement What do you think of when you think of a fried breakfast? Sausages? Bacon? Eggs? All three and more? A fry up for breakfast is very common in the UK, particularly on Saturdays and Sundays. Although the English , Scottish and Northern Irish fried breakfasts are all different and each can boast its own regional component ingredients, if there is one British fried breakfast that stands out as being truly unique, it is unquestionably the full Welsh breakfast. Why? For the simple reason that it is (probably) safe to say that an overwhelming majority of people - even other British people, from outside Wales - will be totally unfamiliar with the concept of seaweed and shellfish forming part of a full fried breakfast... Laverbread and Cockles Make the Welsh Breakfast Truly Unique Laverbread is made from seaweed while cockles are a type of shellfish Advertisement Laver (pronounced lay-ver, not lah-ver) is a type of seaweed, found in plentiful supply around the Welsh coastline from where it can easily be collected at low tide. The seaweed is washed and boiled in salted water for a number of hours before it is minced or shredded to make laverbread. Laverbread is available to buy ready to use from Amazon UK , where it is sold in small cans, and while laverbread itself is not available on Amazon.com, dried laver can be purchased and homemade laverbread prepared. Penclawdd - get directions {"lat":51.641899,"lng":-4.100126,"zoom":10,"mapType":"ROADMAP","markers":[{"id":31262,"lat":"51.641899","lng":"-4.100126","name":"Penclawdd","address":"Pen-clawdd, Swansea, UK","description":""}]} Cockles are a type of small shellfish, collected from sandy beaches around the UK. Closely related species are found and collected in the same way around the world. Fresh cockles are of course the preferred option where they are available and many people insist that the cockles for a proper Welsh breakfast should be specifically from the Penclawdd area, near Swansea. Fortunately, cockles can also be bought precooked in cans or jars, or perhaps freshly cooked from fishmongers or supermarkets in coastal areas. If you are buying preserved cockles, try to get them in brine rather than in vinegar but if you can only find pickled, you may want to steep them for an hour or so in cold water before use. This will take away most of the pickled flavour. Advertisement Ingredients for this Full Welsh Breakfast Recipe A British fried breakfast of any type is wide open to interpretation when it comes to the precise ingredients. Particularly the sundry ingredients, such as baked beans, tomatoes, mushrooms and more can cause significant debate as to whether they should be included. It would be entirely possible to visit two hotels, guesthouses or even private homes anywhere in the UK - quite literally next door to one another - where the owners disagreed upon what specifically should or should not be incorporated in their region's fried breakfast. A fried breakfast is therefore more of a concept than a recipe, built around the mainstays that are sausage, bacon and egg, with the other ingredients optional and variable.

The attack, also known as the Battle of Pearl Harbor, led to the United States' entry into World War II. The Japanese military leadership referred to the attack as the Hawaii Operation and Operation AI, and as Operation Z during its planning.

Jay Silverheels - Biography - IMDb Jay Silverheels Jump to: Overview (4) \| Mini Bio (2) \| Spouse (2) \| Trivia (13) \| Personal Quotes (2) Overview (4) 6' (1.83 m) Mini Bio (2) Jay Silverheels was born on Canada's Six Nation's Reserve and was one of 10 children. He was a star lacrosse player and a boxer before he entered films as a stuntman in 1938. He worked in a number of films through the 1940s before gaining notice as the Osceola brother in a Humphrey Bogart film Key Largo (1948). Most of Silverheels' roles consisted of bit parts as an Indian character. In 1949, he worked in the movie The Cowboy and the Indians (1949) with another "B movie" actor Clayton Moore . Later that year, Silverheels was hired to play the faithful Indian companion, Tonto, in the TV series The Lone Ranger (1949) series, which brought him the fame that his motion picture career never did. Silverheels recreated the role of Tonto in two big-screen color movies with Moore, The Lone Ranger (1956) and The Lone Ranger and the Lost City of Gold (1958). After the TV series ended in 1957, Silverheels could not escape the typecasting of Tonto. He would continue to appear in an occasional film and television show but became a spokesperson to improve the portrayal of Indians in the media. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Tony Fontana <tony.fontana@spacebbs.com> Familiar Canadian Indian actor who shot to fame as Tonto, the faithful Indian companion of the masked man on the US television series The Lone Ranger (1949). A member of the Mohawk tribe of Canada's Six Nations Reserve, Silverheels excelled at wrestling, horse racing, football, boxing, and hockey, and became a renowned lacrosse player. With the help of actor Joe E. Brown ,Silverheels obtained work as a stuntman and extra in Hollywood films. Following military service in World War II, Silverheels returned to film and landed small, often stereotypical roles as Indian warriors in Westerns. John Huston cast him as one of the fugitive Osceola brothers in Key Largo (1948), and Silverheels followed with the two roles that would define his career, Tonto and the Apache leader Geronimo, whom he would play several times beginning with the Western classic Broken Arrow (1950). Silverheels' enormous fame as Tonto overshadowed everything else, although it did not prevent him from playing other prominent roles. Even after completing The Lone Ranger (1949)series, Silverheels continued to reprise Tonto for commercials, comic guest spots, and spoofs. Silverheels became an outspoken activist for Indian rights and a respected teacher within the Indian acting community. He appeared on talk and variety shows performing his own poetry. In later years, he began a second career as a harness racer. His health failed in the 1970s, and he died of a stroke in 1980, a beloved figure to the Baby Boom generation America. His son, Jay Silverheels Jr. has acted in television as well. - IMDb Mini Biography By: Jim Beaver <jumblejim@prodigy.net> Spouse (2) (1946 - 5 March 1980) (his death) (4 children) Bobbie (? - 1943) (divorced) (1 child) Trivia (13) On The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), Silverheels told Johnny Carson that he had married his Italian wife to "get back at Christopher Columbus". They called their children "Indalions". U.S. government records give Silverheels' birthdate as 26 June 1912, though virtually all cinema reference works disagree, giving instead the 1919 date listed here. Inducted into the Hall of Great Western Performers of the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in 1993. Was an avid horse-racer when not acting. When asked if he ever thought about running Silver or Scout (who portrayed the steeds of the Lone Ranger and Tonto, respectively) in a race, Silverheels laughed: "Heck, I can beat Scout." Father of Jay Silverheels Jr. Was a full-blooded Mohawk Indian, one of 11 children of A.G.E. Smith, who had served as a decorated officer in the Canadian forces in WWI.

— Raleigh has grown immensely in the past decade, and with that growth has come exciting new restaurants, music venues, hot spots and more. However, with progress also comes loss. Let's take a moment and remember the iconic places from Raleigh's culture and history that were lost this decade. 1. IHOP's classic Hillsborough Street location (1968 - 2016) For almost 50 years, IHOP's classic blue A-frame roof was an iconic sight on Hillsborough Street. Open 24 hours on weekends, it was often packed at 2 a.m. with hungry college students and late-night downtown dwellers. Many patrons paid the restaurant a final visit when it closed in April 2016, sharing stories and memories. Bill Erwin, seated with his wife, said, "This was our last outing as a couple before our son Eric was born...40 years ago." Its nostalgia and charm harken back to simpler days in downtown Raleigh. 2. The Velvet Cloak Inn (1963 - 2017) When it opened in 1963, the classic Velvet Cloak Inn was once among Raleigh's most beautiful hotels, attracting celebrities and dignitaries. Offering the height of elegance and luxury, with gated parking, a restaurant, a glass atrium pool and even a nightclub, it attracted high-profile visitors like Bob Hope, Bill Clinton, Marylin Monroe and Bob Dylan, according to Historic Wake County. However, although several sources cite Monroe's presence at the opening Gala as historic fact, this may be an urban legend, as she passed away a year before the Velvet Cloak opened. Leif Valand, the architect behind Raleigh's renowned Cameron Village, added elements of the New Orleans' French Quarter to the design, which classed up Hillsbrough Street for decades. According to "Historic Wake County," the inn was named after Sir Walter Raleigh's fine velvet cloak, which he tossed over a patch of mud to protect Queen Elizabeth's shoes. Sadly, the building was torn down in 2017, leading some residents to fear Raleigh was "becoming yet another homogenized, generic city." 3. Andy's Pizza (1974 - 2012) Generations of Raleigh teenagers had their first job at Andy's Pizza, slinging pies and folding boxes for $3.75 an hour. Andy Kanas, the owner, had a special recipe for marinara sauce that made his spaghetti and pizza popular with locals. The secret: He cooked Greek-style marinara, not Italian. Before starting his own restaurant, Kanas worked for Brother's Pizza--another Raleigh icon--on Hillsborough Street in the 1970's. Andy's Pizza survived two fires in 1998, bouncing back each time. When it finally closed in 2012, Cristo's NY Style Pizza took its place. 4. The Brewery (1983 - 2011) For more than 28 years, The Brewery provided a platform for local and national bands alike. It opened in 1983, just as the Village Subway, another popular venue in downtown Raleigh, was closing its doors. Acts like Corrision of Conformity and Black Flag, which had previously played in the Subway, took to the stage at The Brewery. National grunge and punk musicians like Korn, Hootie and the Blowfish, Ryan Adams and Jane's Addiction played there in the 1980's. Like its predecessor, it ensured the punk scene stayed alive in Raleigh and provided local indie bands a place to build a following. The demolition was part of an ongoing revitalization effort on Hillsborough Street, which neighbors North Carolina State University's campus. 5. Happyland Christmas Lights (1990's - 2016) In the 1960's, a collection of life-sized statues, including carolers and a manger scene, decorated the Cross family's front yard on New Bern Avenue. Their light display was impressive, drawing hundreds of families from around the Triangle. In the early 1990's, Bobby and Jan Moore rescued the vintage statues--many of which had been damaged in storage--from an estate sale. The Moores lovingly restored the historic statues, adding them to their ever-growing display known as Happyland Christmas Lights. Happyland included many handmade displays, such as a twinkling UFO flying overhead and a spinning carousel. Like the Cross family, their yard drew hundreds of visitors. Lucille Alexander, a 90-year-old Raleigh native, visited to see the carolers she remembered so fondly from Christmases long ago. She said, "I knew the Cross family. I used to take my daughters and son to see the lights each Christmas." Happyland Christmas Lights won the national Great Christmas Light Fight in 2016. 6. Sadlack's Heroes (1973 - 2013) "American lore is rich with the little-bar-that-could archetype, and Sadlack's fits right into that narrative. It was a tiny, scuzzy cash-only bar with remarkable sandwiches," wrote Corbie Hill in his article "Weird in the Daylight," the story of Sadlack's Heroes. Like The Brewery, Sadlack's provided a stage for punk musicians Corrision of Conformity and Ryan Adams. Known for sandwiches and live music, Sadlack's Heroes had a ready-made crowd in the NC State students living on Maiden Lane. Like Sadlack's, Maiden Lane also became a pile of rubble this decade. Local punk musician Byron McCay of Th'Cigaretz called Sadlack's the "last bastion" of local music after the closing of The Brewery. 7. Oak City Kitty (2005 - 2019) Tucker, better known as Oak City Kitty, was the star of a popular Instagram account centered around his adventures in downtown Raleigh. Governor Roy Cooper presented Oak City Kitty with an award, naming him the "Honorary First Pet" of North Carolina. Tucker was adopted in 2005 from the Orange County Animal Shelter. Before moving downtown, he was an indoor/outdoor cat who loved to roam the neighborhood. When his owner moved to downtown Raleigh, he "easily transitioned from quiet neighborhood life to the busy downtown living and all that accompanied it - dogs, cars, people, sirens." According to his family, he began to attract notoriety on the street, as he would often waddle home well ahead of them. They created an Instagram to chronicle his adventures, capturing amusing photos and sharing his often grumpy and funny opinions about life in downtown Raleigh. "Tucker was a uniter of people," said his family member Ron Kirk, Jr. "Tucker was an icon - worthy of the veneration and adulation by his loyal fans and followers. He was a magnificent cat who brought joy to so many who lived and worked downtown--not to mention the thousands who only knew him through his Instagram account." His larger-than-life personality transformed him from a mere overweight and indifferent cat into a part of downtown Raleigh's culture. He was a cat who selflessly promoted local businesses and events, spoke for the welfare of pets in need and bettered the lives of everyone who had the pleasure of taking a moment out of their day to rub his ears and say a kind word of love to Raleigh's Best Cat. 8. Peace Street Bridge (1953 - 2019) Built in 1953 according to a rare remaining piece of granite marker from the bridge, the bridge on Capital Boulevard over Peace Street was recently updated. According to the NCDot, it had a sufficiency rating of 44.9 (out of a possible 100), primarily due to its age and construction standards from the 1950s. The North Carolina Department of Transportation is calling the new bridge a "milestone." The original Peace Street bridge was almost 70 years old, and many drivers had been waiting months for the improvement. 9. Mission Valley Cinemas (1973 - 2019) "We are drowning, literally," read the marquee outside Mission Valley Cinemas as they announced their closing after 45 years due to plumbing issues. The classic, old-style theater was a mainstay in Raleigh culture, especially for N.C. State students who needed affordable entertainment that could be reached by the Wolfline. Many Raleighites fondly remember spending evenings watching films, then grabbing coffee next door at Cup-a-Joe. 10. Willow Oak in Nash Square (Est. 1870 - 2019) One of Raleigh's oldest and most iconic trees, the 150-year-old "Willow Oak" in Nash Square had been a ficture in downtown for generations. When the tree was finally brought down in October 2019, some Raleighites went to say goodbye to the old oak, which was cut into discs and given out as mementos for passersby. A portion of its wood will be turned into gavels for the mayor. According to a video shared by the City of Raleigh, the tree watched Raleigh grow from a population of 19,000 to 460,000, and overlooked Martin Street back when trolleys ruled the roads. Some legends said the Willow Oak was the inspiration for the shimmer wall on the Raleigh Convention Center; however, according to the designer Jed Gant, a beautiful oak tree in Historic Oakwood Cemetery was his actual inspiration. Tragically, that tree came down in the 2011 tornado--making it yet another Raleigh icon lost this decade. Honorable mentions: A decade's worth of change has left Raleigh a very different place than it was in 2010, and there are simply too many lost icons to cover them all. However, here are a few other people, places and memories that deserve to be written in the pages of Raleigh's history. Old North Hills Steve Webb (owner of Snoopy's) Darryl's Fat Daddy's Barbecue Lodge Long Branch Isaac Hunter's Tavern (the original one, built in the 1700's) Update: Due to multiple bridges on Peace Street and multiple taverns referred to as "Isaac Hunter's Tavern," some confusion has arisen between which bridge and which tavern have been lost. The Capital Boulevard Bridge over Peace Street was demolished this year, and a new bridge put in its place. Isaac Hunter's Tavern refers to the original tavern, built in the late 1700's, not the modern bar standing on Fayetteville Street.
Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)Definition - What does Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) mean? Human-computer interaction (HCI) is the study and planned design of human and computer activities. HCI uses productivity, safety and entertainment to support and fulfill human-computer activities and is applied to various types of computer systems, including air traffic control, nuclear processing, offices and computer gaming. HCI systems are easy, safe, effective and enjoyable. Software engineering focuses on the production of software application solutions, whereas HCI focuses on discovering methods and techniques that support people. HCI designers always consider HCI usability and user experience goals for effective user interaction. Not all usability and user experience goals apply to every interactive computer system because certain combinations are incompatible. HCI designers also consider potential contexts, tasks at hand and computer system users. Techopedia explains Human-Computer Interaction (HCI)Humans interact with computers through a user interface. This includes software, such as what is displayed on the computer monitor, and hardware, such as the mouse, keyboard and other peripheral devices. As a result, the study of HCI focuses on user satisfaction. Attention to human machine interaction is important, because a poor interface can make it hard for users to benefit from even the simplest systems. In a corporate or factory setting, a poor user interface could have more severe consequences. Usability and user experience goal awareness is essential to all HCI design, as follows: Usability: Central to interaction design and operations through specific computer system criteria, including efficiency, safety, utility and learning/retention. User Experience: Focuses on creating systems that are satisfying, enjoyable, entertaining, helpful, motivating, aesthetically pleasing, creativity supportive, rewarding, fun and emotionally fulfilling.
In eastern Pennsylvania the Great Appalachian Valley, or Great Valley, was accessible by reason of a broad gateway between the end of South Mountain and the Highlands, and many Germans and Moravians settled here between the Susquehanna and Delaware Rivers forming the Pennsylvania Dutch community, some of whom even now speak a unique American dialect of German known as the "Pennsylvania German language" or "Pennsylvania Dutch." These latecomers to the New World were forced to the frontier to find cheap land. With their followers of both German, English and Scots-Irish origin, they worked their way southward and soon occupied all of the Shenandoah Valley, ceded by the Iroquois, and the upper reaches of the Great Valley tributaries of the Tennessee River, ceded by the Cherokee.
The Long Island Music Hall of Fame is an American "hall of fame" organization, whose business office is located in Melville, New York. It was incorporated in July 2005, under the New York State Board of Regents, as a nonprofit organization and holds a provisional charter to operate as a museum in the state of New York. Expansion plans include a museum of Long Island music history, a multimedia resource center, an educational facility and outreach program, and will also serve as a venue for musical performances.
Storage Volume. A small (50- to 60-gallon) storage tank is usually sufficient for one to two three people. A medium (80-gallon) storage tank works well for three to four people. A large tank is appropriate for four to six people. For active systems, the size of the solar storage tank increases with the size of the collector -- typically 1.5 gallons per square foot of collector.
Voting results have been a consistent source of controversy. The mechanism of voting had also aroused considerable criticisms, most notably in season two when Ruben Studdard beat Clay Aiken in a close vote, and in season eight, when the massive increase in text votes (100 million more text votes than season 7) fueled the texting controversy. Concerns about power voting have been expressed from the very first season. Since 2004, votes also have been affected to a limited degree by online communities such as DialIdol, Vote for the Worst (closed in 2013), and Vote for the Girls (started 2010).
Differences in feasts may also originate from doctrinal issues—the Feast of the Assumption is such an example. Given that there is no agreement among all Christians on the circumstances of the death, Dormition or Assumption of Mary, the feast of assumption is celebrated among some denominations and not others. While the Catholic Church celebrates the Feast of the Assumption on August 15, some Eastern Catholics celebrate it as Dormition of the Theotokos, and may do so on August 28, if they follow the Julian calendar. The Eastern Orthodox also celebrate it as the Dormition of the Theotokos, one of their 12 Great Feasts. Protestants do not celebrate this, or any other Marian feasts.
Governor's Cup (Texas) Since the very first meeting between the Cowboys and Texans in 2002 the two teams have met in the regular season every fourth year and meet relatively often (by NFL standards) in the preseason; from 2002 until 2008 and again since 2013, the Cowboys and Texans have been scheduled to play each other in the preseason whenever they are not scheduled to meet in the regular season. In 2010, the teams played both a pre-season and regular season game while in 2009, 2011 and 2012 they did not meet at all. The 2017 preseason game, scheduled to be played in Houston, was cancelled due to Hurricane Harvey.
Everybody releases big Northern Pike these days. Catch-&-release is more important to the Northern Pike population because they are a slow growing fish. A 45-inch Northern Pike can be over 30 years old while a 45-inch Muskie is only 10 years old. That is why all big Pike need to be handled with care and released quickly. Because of proper Pike care, the Northern Pike fishing in Dinorwic Lake gets better and better every year.
Basilica of St Denis The Basilica of Saint Denis (French: Basilique royale de Saint-Denis, or simply Basilique Saint-Denis) is a large medieval abbey church in the city of Saint-Denis, now a northern suburb of Paris. The building is of unique importance historically and architecturally as its choir, completed in 1144, shows the first use of all of the elements of Gothic architecture.
Hugh William Paddick (22 August 1915 – 9 November 2000) was an English actor, whose most notable role was in the 1960s BBC radio show "Round the Horne", in sketches such as "Charles and Fiona" (as Charles) and "Julian and Sandy" (as Julian). Both he and Kenneth Williams are largely responsible for introducing the underground language polari to the British public.
Lateralization of brain function In the 19th century and to a lesser extent the 20th, it was thought that each side of the brain was associated with a specific gender: the left corresponding with masculinity and the right with femininity and each half could function independently.[38] The right side of the brain was seen as the inferior and thought to be prominent in women, savages, children, criminals, and the insane. A prime example of this in fictional literature can be seen in Robert Louis Stevensonâ€™s Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde.[39]
New element named after Copernicus - Radio Poland :: News from Poland New element named after Copernicus PR dla Zagranicy Peter Gentle 07.11.2011 08:16 A new, radioactive, element has been added to the Periodic Table named after Polish astronomer Nicolaus Copernicus. The General Assembly of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics (IUPAP) officially approved the names of three new elements, darmstadtium (Ds), roentgenium (Rg) and copernicium (Cn) – the last in honour of the man from Torun, central Poland, who discovered the heliocentric universe. Copernicium, which has the atomic number 112, is a radioactive element which can only be produced in the laboratory. It was first created in 1996 at the Gesellschaft für Schwerionenforschung (GSI) in Darmstadt, Germany, by a team of scientists led by Sigurd Hofmann. Last year the name for the new element was put forward "to honour an outstanding scientist, who changed our view of the world." (pg)

In the mid 1970s, various American groups (some with ties to Downtown Manhattan's punk scene, including Television and Suicide) had begun expanding on the vocabulary of punk music. Midwestern groups such as Pere Ubu and Devo drew inspiration from the region's derelict industrial environments, employing conceptual art techniques, musique concrète and unconventional verbal styles that would presage the post-punk movement by several years. A variety of subsequent groups, including New York-based Talking Heads and Boston-based Mission of Burma, combined elements of punk with art school sensibilities. In 1978, the former band began a series of collaborations with British ambient pioneer and ex-Roxy Music member Brian Eno, experimenting with Dada-influenced lyrical techniques, dance music, and African polyrhythms. San Francisco's vibrant post-punk scene was centered around such groups as Chrome, the Residents and Tuxedomoon, who incorporated multimedia experimentation, film and ideas from Antonin Artaud's Theater of Cruelty.
