Gwen Stacy Gwendolyne Maxine "Gwen" Stacy[1][2] is a fictional character who appears in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, usually as a supporting character in those featuring Spider-Man. A college student, she was a long-term romantic interest for Peter Parker before she was murdered by the Green Goblin (Norman Osborn). Spider-Man writers and fans often debate whether Peter's "one true love" is Gwen Stacy or Mary Jane Watson (Peter's later girlfriend and wife). Stories published long after her death indicate that Gwen still holds a special place in his heart.

Sir Isaac Newton {'1': ", '2': ", '3': ", '4': "} ( ; 25 December 1642 – 20 March 1726/27) was an English mathematician, astronomer, and physicist (described in his own day as a "natural philosopher") who is widely recognised as one of the most influential scientists of all time and a key figure in the scientific revolution. His book "Philosophiæ Naturalis Principia Mathematica" ("Mathematical Principles of Natural Philosophy"), first published in 1687, laid the foundations of classical mechanics. Newton also made pathbreaking contributions to optics, and he shares credit with Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz for developing the infinitesimal calculus.

FERRITIN TEST FERRITIN TESTTEST COMPONENTS: The Ferritin Test measures the level of ferritin molecules in the blood. AM I REQUIRED TO FAST FOR THIS LAB TEST? No. WHAT IS THE PRICE FOR THE FERRITIN LAB TEST?$49.00*Price may vary by location – contact your local ANY LAB TEST NOW®HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY LAB TEST RESULTS? Test results generally take between 24 to 72 business hours after your specimen is collected. WHAT IS A FERRITIN LAB TEST? Ferritin is a protein in the body that binds to iron. The level of ferritin correlates with the total amount of iron stored in the body. Ferritin is low in those with iron deficiency anemia and high when levels of iron are raised. Liver dysfunction can cause elevated ferritin levels because the liver is unable to clear it from the body. Ferritin may also be increased when the body is inflamed or an infection is present. WHY DO I NEED IT? Are you always tired? If you are always tired you may have iron deficiency anemia. This test is may be needed if other initial iron tests for hemoglobin (level of oxygen carrying protein) or hematocrit (proportion of red blood cells to the fluid component) are low. A ferritin test can confirm a diagnosis of iron deficiency anemia. It can also be used to diagnose conditions such as hemochromatosis, liver disease or adult Still’s disease. Additionally, if you have been diagnosed with a condition such as hemochromatosis that causes your body to store too much iron, this test may be used to monitor your condition and guide treatment. WHAT TYPE OF PHYSICIAN SHOULD I SEE IF MY TEST RESULTS ARE OUT-OF-RANGE OR ABNORMAL? You should see your primary care physician. FIND A LOCATION

History of playing cards. Cards History Deck Types Did you know first cards were used as money? The first cards have little in common with current ones. However, each period in the history and each country has made them look the way we know today. History of Playing Cards Playing cards first originated in China in the 9th century. It is believed that friends and relatives played a leaf game where the earliest cards were first used. Scholars from China in the 10th and 11th centuries had asserted that several types of card games had existed during the Tang Dynasty in China. The earliest cards in China were known as money cards and were made of four different suits, Strings of coins, coins, myriads of strings and tens of myriads objects. These were represented with numerals between 2 to 9 in the first three suits and for the "tens of myriads" the numbers were from 1 to 9. Scholars believed that these earliest cards might actually have been paper currency which were used as cards as well as the stakes for which the game was played. The first cards that were ever printed were the deck of Chinese domino and the popular Mahjong tiles evolved from these earlier cards too. A Chinese document dating back to the 11th century asserts that domino cards were introduced during the Tang Dynasty.

Besides being easy, it's also one of the safest ways to make deposits to the casino because you never have to reveal your private information. From China to India and Europe The Indian playing cards have several common features with the early European cards. The cups, swords and rings that were shown in the hands of the Indian statues in the earliest playing cards have much in common with the earliest Sicilian cards. However, it is not yet clear when and how playing cards were first introduced in Europe. Evidences suggest that playing cards had already been in England in the 13th century, however, the 38th canon of the council of Worcester that mentions about de rege et regina (means the king and the queen) game is now believed to have been chess rather than a card game as it was thought before. A 13th century miniature painting that was made for King Louis II of Naples does show various people playing cards with King which suggests that card games might already have been introduced in Italy at that time. In our time it is hard to recreate online gambling history, but some have their thoughts about it. Egyptian Cards It is possible that the modern day cards might have arrived in Europe from Egypt in late 14th century. The Mamelukes from Egypt are thought to be the ones to introduce cards in Europe. However, by that time cards and card games had already been quite similar to the ones that we know today. The original decks used by the Mameluke had 52 cards that had four suits. The suits in their earlier decks were cups, swords, coins and polo sticks. Each of these suits had ten number cards and three court cards. These cards did not depict people but only names of officers and various designs.

Boundaries, State \| NCpedia Boundaries, State See also: Carolinas, Separation of ; History of the Dividing Line ; Tennessee, Formation of ; Walton War . North Carolina borders the Atlantic Ocean to the east, Virginia to the north, Tennessee to the west, and Georgia and South Carolina to the south. The state claims jurisdiction of the waters of the Atlantic to a distance of "one marine league eastward of the extreme low-tide mark." The boundaries shared by North Carolina and neighboring states were the cause of controversy and violence during the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, and minor disagreements were still being addressed during the twentieth century. Northern Boundary The Albemarle Sound settlements were separated from Virginia when Charles II granted the new province of Carolina to the Lords Proprietors . The provinces were divided at the 36th parallel by the Carolina charter of 1663; the Carolina charter of 1665 moved the line northward to 36°30', adding a 30-mile-wide strip to Carolina. By 1680 Virginia authorities were becoming irritated by residents along the boundary region who refused to pay their Virginia quitrents . The Virginians preferred to ignore the provisions of the 1665 Carolina charter and considered that the boundary should be at the 36th parallel, as outlined in 1663, which would place the most heavily populated districts of Carolina in Virginia. Attempts at surveying a boundary were frustrated by various private interests and objections from Virginia, which feared that a boundary survey would extinguish their claims to the land around the Albemarle settlements. Virginia even ordered a secret survey in 1705 to see how much land would be lost by an accurate survey. When North Carolina became a royal colony as the Lords Proprietors sold their rights to the province, the Crown insisted on a boundary survey. In 1728 commissioners and surveyors from both provinces began work on settling the location of the boundary. The line was begun at Currituck Inlet on 5 Mar. 1728, and 73 miles were surveyed when work halted six weeks later. Work was resumed in the fall. After an additional 50 miles were surveyed, the North Carolina commissioners left for home, declaring that it was a waste of time to survey so far inland and so far from any settlers. The Virginia party continued surveying for another 72 miles, getting as far as present-day Stokes County . The Virginian point of view of the 1728 survey was set forth by William Byrd II in his famous History of the Dividing Line betwixt Virginia and North Carolina (published in 1841). Byrd noted the plight of planters whose lands were divided by the line, "which made the Owners accountable to both Governments." He also wrote that many settlers in the area preferred to belong to North Carolina, where the grasp of the government was weak and taxes for the province and the church were lower. Further surveys in 1749 and 1779 traced the remainder of the boundary. The surveys simply continued the line surveyed in Byrd's time, with little controversy. Southern Boundary The series of boundary disputes with South Carolina was long and bitter. The Proprietary province of Carolina was considered two separate colonies by the late 1600s, but no official boundary was specified for many years. Nothing was done to settle the location of the boundary until North Carolina and South Carolina became royal colonies. An agreement reached in 1730 called for the boundary to start 30 miles south of the mouth of the Cape Fear River and run northwest parallel to the river. Governor George Burrington of North Carolina later refused to allow funding for the survey, claiming that it would be a wasteful expense and that the Pee Dee River was a better dividing line. Had Burrington allowed that survey, North Carolina would have lost nearly all of the country west of the Cape Fear River and much of the present area of the state. In 1735, after Gabriel Johnston took office as governor of North Carolina, commissioners from both colonies agreed on a new plan for the boundary. The line was to run d

The interest of the life tenant terminates immediately upon his or her death, and ownership transfers to the âremaindermanâ named in the deed or will.
Positivism Positivism asserts that all authentic knowledge allows verification and that all authentic knowledge assumes that the only valid knowledge is scientific.[12] Thinkers such as Henri de Saint-Simon (1760–1825), Pierre-Simon Laplace (1749–1827) and Auguste Comte (1798–1857) believed the scientific method, the circular dependence of theory and observation, must replace metaphysics in the history of thought.[citation needed] Émile Durkheim (1858–1917) reformulated sociological positivism as a foundation of social research.[13]

Aleutian Islands Introduction World War II was the largest and most violent armed conflict in the history of mankind. However, the half century that now separates us from that conflict has exacted its toll on our collective knowledge. While World War II continues to absorb the interest of military scholars and historians, as well as its veterans, a generation of Americans has grown to maturity largely unaware of the political, social, and military implications of a war that, more than any other, united us as a people with a common purpose. Highly relevant today, World War II has much to teach us, not only about the profession of arms, but also about military preparedness, global strategy, and combined operations in the coalition war against fascism. During the next several years, the U.S. Army will participate in the nation's 50th anniversary commemoration of World War II. The commemoration will include the publication of various materials to help educate Americans about that war. The works produced will provide great opportunities to learn about and renew pride in an Army that fought so magnificently in what has been called "the mighty endeavor." World War II was waged on land, on sea, and in the air over several diverse theaters of operation for approximately six years. The following essay is one of a series of campaign studies highlighting those struggles that, with their accompanying suggestions for further reading, are designed to introduce you to one of the Army's significant military feats from that war. This brochure was prepared in the U.S. Army Center of Military History by George L. MacGarrigle. I hope this absorbing account of that period will enhance your appreciation of American achievements during World War II. 3 June 1942-24 August 1943 After securing strategically located bases during its war with China, Japan set out to create its long-coveted greater east Asia co-prosperity empire. Opening with a crushing attack upon Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 that temporarily neutralized the U.S. Pacific Fleet, the imperial High Command quickly followed by dispatching large forces to seize the Philippines, Malaya, and the Netherlands East Indies and preparing plans for new bases from which to strike Australia and India. By June 1942 Japanese authority on the Asian mainland had extended beyond Malaya into Thailand and Burma. In the western Pacific, it encompassed most of the larger islands north of Australia and east of Midway. In the wake of such astounding military success, Japan decided to push onward rather than consolidate its gains. Its next objectives, New Guinea and the Solomon Islands, were clearly to be used as steppingstones to Australia. Between those objectives and the Australian continent was the Coral Sea, where in early May the American Navy had checked a powerful Japanese fleet in a battle that frustrated the enemy's hope for an early invasion of Australia. Remaining on the defensive throughout the Pacific, the United States hurriedly fortified island bases along a great arc extending from Pearl Harbor to Sydney to keep open the shipping routes to Australia. With only limited numbers of troops available, it nevertheless joined Australia in planning an offensive in New Guinea and the Solomons to halt Japanese advances. To command this offensive in what became known as the Southwest Pacific Area, President Franklin D. Roosevelt selected General Douglas MacArthur, leaving the remainder of the Pacific theater under the direction of the Commander in Chief, U.S. Pacific Fleet, Admiral Chester W. Nimitz. Nimitz's command was divided into three combat areas (north, central, and south). The North Pacific Area extended west from the continental United States, Canada, and the Territory of Alaska across the Pacific to the Asian mainland. Included within Nimitz's North Pacific Area were Japan's northern islands, the Kuriles, and, just 650 miles to the east, Alaska's Aleutian chain. Protruding in a long, sweeping curve for more than a thousand miles westward from the tip of the Alaskan Penin

Plants Cover The Earth. The Carboniferous Period of the Paleozoic Era began 354 million years ago. It lasted for about 64 million years, until 290 million years ago. The name âCarboniferousâ came from the large amounts of carbon-bearing coal that was formed during the period.In the United States, the Carboniferous is divided into two epochs.he End of The Carboniferous Period. The end of the Carboniferous period is marked by global climate changes due to the glaciers that covered the South Pole. The mass extinctions that mark the end of other geologic periods were not present, yet many species did go extinct during this time.

All-India Muslim League The All-India Muslim League (popularised as Muslim League) was a political party established during the early years of the 20th century in the British Indian Empire. Its strong advocacy for the establishment of a separate Muslim-majority nation-state, Pakistan, successfully led to the partition of British India in 1947 by the British Empire.[1] The party arose out of a literary movement begun at The Aligarh Muslim University in which Syed Ahmad Khan was a central figure.[2][page needed] Sir Syed had founded, in 1886, the Muhammadan Educational Conference, but a self-imposed ban prevented it from discussing politics. In December 1906 conference in Dhaka, attended by 3,000 delegates, the conference removed the ban and adopted a resolution to form an All Indian Muslim League political party.[3][page needed] Its original political goal was to define and advance the Indian Muslim's civil rights and to provide protection to the upper and gentry class of Indian Muslims. From 1906–30s, the party worked on its organizational structure, its credibility in Muslim communities all over the British Indian Empire, and lacked as a mass organisation but represented the landed and commercial Muslim interests of the United Provinces (today's Uttar Pradesh).[4]

Various evolutionary ideas had already been proposed to explain new findings in biology. There was growing support for such ideas among dissident anatomists and the general public, but during the first half of the 19th century the English scientific establishment was closely tied to the Church of England, while science was part of natural theology. Ideas about the transmutation of species were controversial as they conflicted with the beliefs that species were unchanging parts of a designed hierarchy and that humans were unique, unrelated to other animals. The political and theological implications were intensely debated, but transmutation was not accepted by the scientific mainstream.

BAC TSR-2 \| Military Wiki \| Fandom powered by Wikia Number built 23 (including 2 static/fatigue test airframes, not all were completed, only 1 flew) The British Aircraft Corporation TSR-2 was a cancelled Cold War strike and reconnaissance aircraft developed by the British Aircraft Corporation (BAC) for the Royal Air Force (RAF) in the late 1950s and early 1960s. The TSR-2 was designed to penetrate a well-defended forward battle area at low altitudes and very high speeds, and then attack high-value targets in the rear with nuclear or conventional weapons. Another intended combat role was to provide high-altitude, high-speed photo reconnaissance. Some of the most advanced aviation technology of the period was incorporated in order to make it the highest-performing aircraft in the world in its projected missions. Only one airframe flew and test flights and weight rise during design indicated that the aircraft would be unable [1] to meet its original stringent [2] design specifications. [3] [4] [5] [N 1] The design specifications had been reduced as the results of flight testing became available. [6] The TSR-2 was the victim of ever rising costs [7] and inter-service squabbling [8] over Britain's future defence needs, which led to the controversial decision to scrap the programme in 1965. With the election of a new government, the TSR-2 was cancelled due to rising costs, in favour of purchasing an adapted version of the General Dynamics F-111 , a decision that itself was later rescinded as costs and development times skyrocketed. [9] The replacements included the Blackburn Buccaneer and McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II , both types being previously considered and rejected early in the TSR-2 procurement process. Eventually, the smaller Swing-wing Panavia Tornado was developed and adopted by a European consortium to fulfill broadly similar requirements to the TSR-2. “ All modern aircraft have four dimensions: span, length, height and politics. TSR-2 simply got the first three right. ” Edit XR222 in anti-flash white finish, worn by all the completed TSR-2s, at Duxford, 2006 Prior to the TSR-2 effort, Britain's Royal Air Force had deployed the English Electric Canberra bomber, capable of flying at high altitudes and subsonic speeds. Like the de Havilland Mosquito before it, as originally conceived, the Canberra carried no defensive weapons and relied on its high performance to allow it to avoid defences. [11] However, the introduction of the radar-guided surface-to-air missile (SAM) was a significant threat to this tactic. [12] SAMs had speed and altitude performance much greater than any contemporary aircraft; the Canberra, and other high-altitude aircraft like the V bombers or United States' B-52 Stratofortress , were extremely vulnerable to these weapons. The first aircraft to fall victim to the Soviet S-75 Dvina ( NATO name "SA-2 Guideline") SAM was a Taiwanese RB-57 , a reconnaissance version of the Canberra, shot down in 1959. [13] The solution was to fly lower; since radar operates in line-of-sight , detection of an aircraft flying at low altitudes is significantly hindered, thereby reducing time for enemy counter measures. [14] In practice, trees, hills, valleys and any other obstructions reduce this range even more, making a ground-based interception extremely difficult. [14] The Canberra was designed for medium- to high-altitude flight and was not suitable for continuous terrain-hugging flight; this would require a completely different aircraft. [15] Low-level strike aircraft, or " interdictors ", grew into a new class of their own during the late 1950s. They generally featured high wing loading to reduce the effects of turbulence and cross-wind, some form of high-performance navigational radar to allow very low flight at high speeds, and large fuel loads to offset the higher fuel use at low altitudes.

From the period of 1600, the canton consisted of a St George's Cross representing the Kingdom of England. With the Acts of Union 1707, the canton was updated to be the new Union Flag—consisting of an English St George's Cross combined with a Scottish St Andrew's cross—representing the Kingdom of Great Britain. After the Acts of Union 1800 that joined Ireland with Great Britain to form the United Kingdom, the canton of the East India Company flag was altered accordingly to include a Saint Patrick's Saltire replicating the updated Union Flag representing the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland.

Jordan played three seasons for coach Dean Smith at the University of North Carolina . As a freshman , he was a member of the Tar Heels ' national championship team in 1982 . Jordan joined the Bulls in 1984 as the third overall draft pick . He quickly emerged as a league star , entertaining crowds with his prolific scoring . His leaping ability , demonstrated by performing slam dunks from the free throw line in slam dunk contests , earned him the nicknames Air Jordan and His Airness . He also gained a reputation for being one of the best defensive players in basketball . In 1991 , he won his first NBA championship with the Bulls , and followed that achievement with titles in 1992 and 1993 , securing a `` three-peat '' . Although Jordan abruptly retired from basketball before the beginning of the 1993 -- 94 NBA season to pursue a new venture in minor league baseball , he returned to the Bulls in March 1995 and led them to three additional championships in 1996 , 1997 , and 1998 , as well as a then-record 72 regular-season wins in the 1995 -- 96 NBA season . Jordan retired for a second time in January 1999 , but returned for two more NBA seasons from 2001 to 2003 as a member of the Wizards .

In the last two decades, photovoltaics (PV), also known as solar PV, has evolved from a pure niche market of small scale applications towards becoming a mainstream electricity source. A solar cell is a device that converts light directly into electricity using the photoelectric effect. The first solar cell was constructed by Charles Fritts in the 1880s. In 1931 a German engineer, Dr Bruno Lange, developed a photo cell using silver selenide in place of copper oxide. Although the prototype selenium cells converted less than 1% of incident light into electricity, both Ernst Werner von Siemens and James Clerk Maxwell recognized the importance of this discovery. Following the work of Russell Ohl in the 1940s, researchers Gerald Pearson, Calvin Fuller and Daryl Chapin created the crystalline silicon solar cell in 1954. These early solar cells cost 286 USD/watt and reached efficiencies of 4.5–6%. By 2012 available efficiencies exceed 20% and the maximum efficiency of research photovoltaics is over 40%.
The US average residential household used 909 kWh per month and the average monthly electricity bill was $125 before taxes and fees. Prices are higher for residential and commercial customers than industrial customers because it costs more to distribute the electricity and step the voltages down.t an installed price of $1.25 per watt, the cost of PV solar is always cheaper than coal. At $2 per watt, it is cheaper after year 40. At $3.00 per watt, it is cheaper about year 80.

Almost all salmon species are born in fresh water, but live the majority of their lives in ocean waters. They will then return to the stream where they hatched to spawn before they die. Because salmon are found in the largest oceans in the world (the Pacific and the Atlantic), most cultures which live along coasts or spawning streams (including North American culture) include the species as a staple in their diet. The most diverse group of salmon fish are those which live in the Pacific ocean. If you visit our salmon species page you can learn much more. Salmon Fishing Tackle Salmon fishing can take place in a number of environments, so there are several different kinds of salmon fishing tackle available. The type of tackle you select will depend on whether you are going out for a freshwater or saltwater species, and whether you intend to cast or troll. Knowing what kind of conditions to use these different tackles is invaluable and we are here to help. Fishing tackle that is used for salmon is typically very robust; all of the salmon species are likely to put up a good fight when hooked and you don’t want a big one to get away. The common ingredient in all salmon fishing tackle is a good, heavy line that won’t snap on the landing and a knot that's quick, easy and tuffer than Grammas fruitcake from last year. Choosing tackle is an art too, and as you become more advanced, you will learn where you can get away with different tackle in variouse situations. Learn more about what types of salmon fishing tackle to use Salmon Species The salmon family is one of the most diverse group of all fish species. Salmon are found in both the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. The group of fish in the Atlantic ocean are simply known as Atlantic salmon due to their similarities. The Pacific Ocean, on the other hand, has a much larger group of these fish which are more easily distinguished from one another. Five species can be found along the West Coast of North America, and one more around the Japanese, Korean, and Russian coasts. In addition, several land-locked fish species are also salmon, such as Kokanee and Huchen. Salmon species are one of the most sought-after fish in the world and because of this it's good to be able to tell them apart! In the salmon species section, we will help you target, catch and identify particular salmon with detailed photos, descriptions and more. Learn more about salmon species Saltwater Salmon Fishing The unique thing about salmon is that they can be fished both in saltwater and in freshwater. They are likely to put up a lot more fight in their marine saltwater environment if they are an ocean going species as opposed to the end of thier spawn in the freshwater system. In the ocean phase of their cylce, the salmon are naturally "brighter chrome" before heading to freshwater, which can make for some amazing photography and experience. Some fishermen enjoy the freedom of the fish in the saltwater, as the fish are able to move around a vessel freely and quickly. Fishing for salmon in saltwater is a totally unique experience, and is probably one of the most popular saltwater fishing excursions that there is. In North America, you can go saltwater salmon fishing on either coast, as there are species of salmon native to each ocean. Learn more about saltwater salmon fishing Freshwater Salmon Fishing When alot of people think about salmon fishing, they think about saltwater fishing. Salmon species can be fished in freshwater as well as salt. One of the most obvious occurrences is when the salmon are moving from their saltwater environments into freshwater river mouths for the spawn. There are hundreds of people that fish for salmon in this freshwater environment, as well as all the way up to their freshwater spawning grounds. During this adventure through a guantlet of rocks and rapids to their birth place, if hooked, the salmon can feel incredibly heavy when compounded with the drag of the water currant, making for an amazing fight on the river!! In addition, there are a couple of species of salmon that only live in freshwater, such as the Kokanee and the land-locked Atlantic. Freshwater salmon fishing for these species can pose all the excitement that their saltwater cousins offer and often more, with the adventures of travelling from spot to spot though the wilderness. Learn more about freshwater salmon fishing. Salmon Recipes Of all of the fish recipes there are, probably no one species has more culinary expertise dedicated to it than the salmon. Salmon are a popular dining fish among people all over the world, and the number of recipes out there certainly reflects this. Nothin' beats a "cedar plank salmon" fresh off of the BBQ and we've got the recipe's that have been absolute hits at dinner parties and high class eateries. The list that could be recited would put Bubba of Forrest Gump and his shrimp to shame. Part of the reason for the huge amount of recipes is the different cultures that have used salmon as a staple. Japanese sushi and North American smoked salmon recipes come from two very different groups of people, but the same fish! Check out our recipes section to learn more or write to us if you would like us to post one of your recipes that you and yours enjoy. Get salmon recipes Salmon Fishing Guides Salmon fishing guides are often called big game fishermen, offshore sport fishermen or offshore big game fishermen. The reasons are obviouse as some of the Spring and Chinook Salmon that are caught in some Alaska fishing charters can get up to 70lbs plus! The good king salmon guide will often go quite far out to sea where land is not visible. Some of the most popular guides are located along the N. W. Coast of Canada and the US as well as Alaska. California and Oregon are also places where there have been productive fishing guide outfits, but perhaps one of the best places for an avid angler to frequent is either an Alaskan fishing charter or Queen Charlotte Islands salmon guide, because of the sheer size of the King salmon caught in those areas.

The advertised battery life on most models is different from the real-world achievable life. For example, the fifth generation 30 GB iPod is advertised as having up to 14 hours of music playback. An MP3.com report stated that this was virtually unachievable under real-life usage conditions, with a writer for MP3.com getting on average less than 8 hours from an iPod. In 2003, class action lawsuits were brought against Apple complaining that the battery charges lasted for shorter lengths of time than stated and that the battery degraded over time. The lawsuits were settled by offering individuals either US$50 store credit or a free battery replacement.

Beans Click here to email us. Beans (which includes a lot of vegetable species!) Sponsored link/s: Sponsored link/s: Some Sorting Out Before one can rationally discuss cultivars or gardening details, one has to address the remarkably broad spectrum of what is traditionally lumped together as "beans". Beans fall into many different classes, and the matter is complicated by the fact that the culinary classes do not necessarily align with the biological ones, nor the gardening types with either of the other two. Gardeners' Bean Categories Even just from the gardener's perspective, beans can be classed in several ways: pole beans versus bush beans, cool-weather beans versus warm-weather beans, and fresh versus shelling versus drying beans. Let's look at those classes one by one. Pole versus bush is mainly a matter of the particular cultivar's growth habit, and it is common for there to be both a pole version and a bush version of the same bean kind, as any seedsman's catalogue will amply illustrate; but that is not to say that the growth height of the plant is the whole of the matter. As one source says: Bush beans were bred for commercial harvesting which is exactly opposite what a family garden is designed for. Bush beans can be mechanically harvested and they produce their crop all at once allowing maximum yield in that one-time mechanical picking. Pole beans, on the other hand, are much easier to pick by hand since you can stand up rather than stoop over, and they are much easier to see among the leaves than bush beans. Pole beans produce continuously from the time they first start producing until the first frost--not good for commercial operations, but exactly what you want for fresh beans for the table (generally you pick them every 3 or 4 days). Pole beans are generally regarded as having a superior taste to bush beans. Now, if you are planting beans with the sole purpose of canning them, it may be that the traits desired for commercially grown beans would be exactly what you want. For the most part though, pole beans are far superior to bush beans. Even a State Extension Service, writing for commercial bean growers, says Trellised [pole] beans are easy to harvest, less liable to disease and produce more attractive fruit compared to bush beans. But, they go on to add, Unfortunately, pole beans often command little more in price than bush beans to make up for the additional costs of trellising and hand harvesting. We could easily pile up lots more such quotations; but, more to the point, we have never, ever seen or heard of anyone claiming the opposite--that bush beans were in any way superior in any way meaningful to a home gardener, to pole beans. 'Nuff said, then, on that. (There is also a type usually called "half-runner" beans, which is sort of half-way between pole and bush--think of it as a bush bean that wanted to be a pole bean when it grew up but couldn't quite make it. These are most conveniently just thought of as unusually short pole beans, because that's pretty much how you have to deal with them when growing.) Most beans are warmth-loving crops (though not necessarily heat-loving), but there are exceptions. One is that most useful sort called "fava beans" (or occasionally "faba beans"); favas sneer at cold, even frost, and are a northern bean-lover's best friend--indeed, they dislike heat. (Notice that the whole biological bean class has recently been renamed to Fabaceae.) Chick peas (garbanzos) also get along well in cool weather. In trying to estimate bean-plant suitability for a short-season climate, take some care in reading the seedsmen's "days to harvest" datum. For most vegetables, including beans grown for eating fresh, that datum means pretty much what it says (though you need to know if they're measuring from initial seeding or from transplanting to outdoors after growing seedlings under shelter--for beans, rarely transplanted, it'll be from seeding). But if you want shelly or drying beans, have a care: if the catalogue says "65 days", that'll be to fresh, gr
Hashima Island (端島 , or simply Hashima — "-shima" is a Japanese suffix for "island" ) , commonly called Gunkanjima (軍艦島; meaning Battleship Island), is an abandoned island lying about 15 kilometers (9 miles) from the city of Nagasaki, in southern Japan. It is one of 505 uninhabited islands in Nagasaki Prefecture. The island's most notable features are its abandoned concrete buildings, undisturbed except by nature, and the surrounding sea wall. While the island is a symbol of the rapid industrialization of Japan, it is also a reminder of its dark history as a site of forced labor prior to and during the Second World War.

About Metamorphic Rocks Science, Tech, Math ›Science About Metamorphic Rocks What Makes Them So Unique? Share Flipboard Email Print A gneiss boulder showing characteristic mineral banding. Grant Dixon/Lonely Planet Images/Getty Imagesby Andrew Alden Updated October 04, 2017Metamorphic rocks are the third great class of rocks. They occur when sedimentary and igneous rocks become changed, or metamorphosed, by conditions underground. The four main agents that metamorphose rocks are heat, pressure, fluids and strain. These agents can act and interact in an almost infinite variety of ways. As a result, most of the thousands of rare minerals known to science occur in metamorphic rocks. Metamorphism acts at two scales: regional and local. Regional scale metamorphism generally occurs deep underground during orogenies, or mountain building episodes. The resulting metamorphic rocks form the cores of large mountain chains like the Appalachians. Local metamorphism happens at a much smaller level, usually from nearby igneous intrusions. It is sometimes referred to as contact metamorphism - more on that later. How to Distinguish Metamorphic Rocks The main thing about metamorphic rocks is that they are shaped by great heat and pressure. The following traits are all related to that. Because their mineral grains grew together tightly during metamorphism, they're generally strong rocks. They're made of different minerals than other kinds of rocks and have a wide range of color and luster. They often show signs of stretching or squeezing, giving them a striped appearance. The Four Agents of Regional Metamorphism Heat and pressure usually work together, because both increase as you go deeper in the Earth. At high temperatures and pressures, the minerals in most rocks break down and change into a different set of minerals that are stable in the new conditions. The clay minerals of sedimentary rocks are a good example. Clays are surface minerals, which form as feldspar and mica break down in the conditions at the Earth's surface. With heat and pressure they slowly return to mica and feldspar. Even with their new mineral assemblages, metamorphic rocks may have the same overall chemistry as before metamorphism. Fluids are an important agent of metamorphism. Most rocks contain some water, but sedimentary rocks hold the most. First, there is the water that was trapped in the sediment as it became rock. Second, there the is water that is liberated by clay minerals as they change back to feldspar and mica. This water can become so charged with dissolved materials that the resulting fluid is, in essence, a liquid mineral. It may be acidic or alkaline, full of silica (forming chalcedony) or full of sulfides or carbonates or metal compounds, in endless varieties. Fluids tend to wander away from their birthplaces, interacting with rocks elsewhere. That process, which changes a rock's chemistry as well as its mineral assemblage, is called metasomatism. Strain refers to any change in the shape of rocks due to the force of stress. Movement on a fault zone is one example. In shallow rocks, shear forces simply grind and crush the mineral grains (cataclasis) to yield cataclasite. Continued grinding yields the hard and streaky rock mylonite. Different degrees of metamorphism create distinctive sets of metamorphic minerals. These are organized into metamorphic facies, a tool petrologists use to decipher the history of metamorphism. Foliated vs. Non-foliated Metamorphic Rocks Under greater heat and pressure, as metamorphic minerals such as mica and feldspar begin to form, strain orients them in layers. The presence of mineral layers, called foliation, is an important feature for classifying metamorphic rocks. As strain increases, the foliation becomes more intense, and the minerals may sort themselves into thicker layers. The foliated rock types that form under these conditions are called schist or gneiss, depending on their texture. Schist is finely foliated whereas gneiss is organized in noticeable, wide bands of minerals. Non-foliated rocks occur when heat is high, but pressure is low or equal on all sides. This prevents dominant minerals from showing any visible alignment. The minerals still recrystallize, however, increasing the overall strength and density of the rock. The Basic Metamorphic Rock Types The sedimentary rock shale metamorphoses first into slate, then into phyllite, then a mica-rich schist. The mineral quartz does not change under high temperature and pressure, although it becomes more strongly cemented. Thus, the sedimentary rock sandstone turns to quartzite. Intermediate rocks that mix sand and clay — mudstones — metamorphose into schists or gneisses. The sedimentary rock limestone recrystallizes and becomes marble. Igneous rocks give rise to a different set of minerals and metamorphic rock types; these include serpentinite, blueschist, soapstone and other rarer species such as eclogite. Metamorphism can be so intense, with all four factors acting at their extreme range, that the foliation can be warped and stirred like taffy; the result of this is migmatite. With further metamorphism, rocks can begin to resemble plutonic granites. These kinds of rocks give joy to experts because of what they say about deep-seated conditions during things like plate collisions. Contact or Local Metamorphism A type of metamorphism that is important in specific localities is contact metamorphism. This most often occurs near igneous intrusions, where hot magma forces itself into sedimentary strata. The rocks next to the invading magma are baked into hornfels or its coarse-grained cousin granofels. Magma can rip chunks of country rock off the channel wall and turn them into exotic minerals, too. Surface lava flows and underground coal fires can also cause mild contact metamorphism, similar to the degree that occurs when baking bricks.

Pleiades star cluster, aka Seven Sisters By Bruce McClure in Clusters Nebulae Galaxies \| Favorite Star Patterns \| November 7, 2016 November is often called the month of the Pleiades, because it’s when this star cluster – sometimes called the Seven Sisters – shines from dusk until dawn. The Pleiades – aka the Seven Sisters – captured by Greg Hogan in Kathleen, Georgia on October 31, 2016. The Pleiades star cluster – also known as the Seven Sisters or M45 – is visible from virtually every place that humanity inhabits Earth’s globe. It can be seen from as far north as the north pole, and farther south than the southernmost tip of South America. It looks like a tiny misty dipper of stars. Follow the links below to learn more about the Pleiades. Pleiades as calendar, in history and in modern science. Tom Wildoner in Weatherly, Pennsylvania captured this image on October 31, 2016. He wrote: “It shows the Seven Sisters, Pleiades star cluster rising in the east behind some maple trees still sporting some late leaves.” How to see the Pleiades. If you’re familiar with the famous constellation Orion, it can help you be sure you’ve found the Pleiades. The image at right shows Orion at the bottom left. See the three stars in a row? That’s Orion’s Belt. Draw a line through the three stars of Orion’s Belt to the right – and you come to a V-shaped pattern of stars with a bright star in its midst. The V-shaped pattern is the Face of Taurus the Bull . The bright star in the V – called Aldebaran – depicts the Bull’s Eye. A bit past Aldebaran, you’ll see the Pleiades cluster, which marks the Bull’s Shoulder. In our image, the Pleiades cluster is at the top right. The Pleiades, Hyades and Orion. Aldebaran, Arabic for follower, is thought to be in reference to this star forever chasing the Pleiades across the heavens. As a general rule, the Pleiades cluster rises into the eastern sky before Aldebaran rises, and sets in the west before Aldebaran sets. The only exception to this rule happens at far southern latitudes – like at South America’s Tierra del Fuego – where the Pleiades rise a short while after Aldebaran rises. In our Northern Hemispheres skies, the Pleiades cluster is associated with the winter season. It’s easy to imagine this misty patch of icy-blue suns as hoarfrost clinging to the dome of night. Frosty November is often called the month of the Pleiades, because it’s at this time that the Pleiades shine from dusk until dawn. But you can see the Pleiades cluster in the evening sky well into April. The Lost Pleiad, a painting by French artist William-Adolphe Bouguereau (1825-1905). Image via Wikimedia Commons. Legend of the Lost Pleiad. Most people see 6, not 7, Pleiades stars in a dark country sky. However, the story about the lost 7th Pleiad harbors a universal theme. The astronomer Robert Burnham Jr. finds the lost Pleaid myth prevalent in the star lore of European, African, Asian, Indonesian, Native American and Aboriginal Australian populations. Moreover, Burnham suggests the “lost Pleiad” may have basis in fact. After all, modern astronomy has found that the 7th brightest Pleiades star – Pleione – is a complicated and hard-to-understand “shell star” that goes through numerous permutations. These changes cause this star to vary in brightness. Plus people with exceptional eyesight have been known to see many more stars in the Pleiades cluster. Claims go up as high as 20 stars. Miss Agnes Clerke reports that Maestlin, the tutor of Kepler, mapped out 11 Pleiades stars before the invention of the telescope. However, you must be willing to spend time under a dark, moonless sky to see more than 6 or 7 Pleaides stars. Stephen O’Meara, a dark-sky connoisseur, claims that eyes dark-adapted for 30 minutes are 6 times more sensitive to light than eyes dark-adapted for 15 minutes. The surest way to see additi
Survey: Is Adobe Creative Cloud subscription worth the price? Adobe argues that customers get more than just software with Creative Cloud subscriptions, but some Creative Suite customers object to what they see as a price increase. Adobe Systems Are you happy or horrified by Adobe Systems' announcement last week that the Creative Cloud and other subscriptions will be the only way to get new versions of its broad array of software ? Now's the time to weigh in with your opinion. CNET and analyst firm Jefferies are again surveying Adobe customers to gauge their response to Adobe's different sales approach. Click here for our newest Adobe customer survey. In it, you'll find questions about whether you plan to move to the Creative Cloud or not, upgrade from earlier versions of the Creative Suite to CS6, and share your thoughts. Adobe surveys its customers, too, but unlike the company, we'll be publishing our results. Related stories Photoshop's Select Subject gives you a head start on masks Dead tech walking: Casualties of 2017 and 2018's endangered list Adobe Lightroom CC faces an uphill climb Newest Lightroom designed to help snap those tricky photos Adobe touches up Android apps for Chromebook education push A half million people already have signed up for Adobe's Creative Cloud, a $50-per-month subscription that grants access to Photoshop, Illustrator, After Effects, and everything else that formed its Creative Suite. But a storm of protest greeted the company's announcement that subscriptions would be the only way to get access to new versions of that software. Our year-ago survey showed more negative than positive views of Creative Cloud pricing, but a follow-up survey showed a favorable reception for Creative Cloud introductory pricing. A Jefferies follow-up with respondents to the second survey showed a willingness to continue the subscription despite the end of the one-year introductory price discount. The pushback against the CC pricing includes an online petition against the mandatory Creative Cloud subscription, which has drawn more than 11,000 signatories. It's conceivable Adobe could change course, and it's likely to at least tweak the subscription offer. Senior Product Manager John Nack said Adobe is considering Creative Cloud changes so their files don't become completely inaccessible when their subscriptions end. Adobe debuted the Creative Cloud a year ago and said customer response has been better than it expected. Adobe forecasts steady growth in Creative Cloud subscriptions. Adobe Systems The subscription also includes various online services, including file storage and synchronization, Web site hosting, and membership in the Behance network where people can post portfolios on the Web. The main Creative Cloud offering costs $50 per month for a full-year commitment. For those who want to pay for a single month, the cost is $80. A Team version for customers with collaborating employees costs $70 per month for a full-year commitment. There also are discounts for students and teachers, who pay $30 per month, and for upgrading customers, who pay $30 per month for the first year. Adobe also offers single-title subscriptions for individual programs. Those cost $20 per month, though existing customers get a first-year discount of $10 per month. Objections to the subscriptions plan focus chiefly on higher fees for those who don't upgrade often. Another problem is that customers won't be able to do anything with their files unless they pay the subscription fee. Adobe plans to sell its CS6 suite "indefinitely," but the suite is a year old, doesn't include some newer titles such as Edge and Muse, and won't include the latest round of updates that will arrive in June . Adobe's Creative Cloud subscription includes software, services, and tools for social networking and collaboration. Is it worth $50 a month to you?

The library system of the university is divided between the main library and each of the colleges and schools. The main building is the 14-story Theodore M. Hesburgh Library, completed in 1963, which is the third building to house the main collection of books. The front of the library is adorned with the Word of Life mural designed by artist Millard Sheets. This mural is popularly known as "Touchdown Jesus" because of its proximity to Notre Dame Stadium and Jesus' arms appearing to make the signal for a touchdown.
Crazing is the phenomenon that produces a network of fine cracks on the surface of a material, for example in a glaze layer. Crazing frequently precedes fracture in some glassy thermoplastic polymers.Crazing occurs in regions of high hydrostatic tension, or in regions of very localized yielding, which leads to the formation of interpenetrating microvoids and small fibrils.razing occurs in some thermoplastics such as acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS plastic) when stressed. It is a typical response in rubber toughening, where crazes are initiated at the surfaces of the rubber particles added to toughen the material.
WARNING - Clomid and False positives From Clomid and other FDWARNING - Clomid and False positives Fricker Me Posted 19/04/2011I had a follow up appointment with Gynae this morning and the Doctor said if I take the clomid I cannot do a home pregnancy test until CD (cycle day) 35-42, this is because there is a chance that the clomid can cause a reaction which will produce a positive pregnancy test. So you may think you have had a chemical pregnancy or an early misscarriage when infact there was no pregnancy. If my period does not arrive when due, I have to wait or call them and they will do a blood test.

Fertility Drugs: There is not much that interferes with a pregnancy test kit, so that's good news. Most prescription and OTC drugs do not affect test results, nor will birth control pills. However, some fertility drugs do contain h CG and can cause a false positive pregnancy test. Clomid, among the most popular ovulation-induction fertility medications, does not contain h CG, so no worries there. Tip: If you are taking fertility medications, ask your doctor if or how they will interfere with using a home pregnancy test (or an ovulation test, for that matter, as clomid can cause some problems with OPKs).

New Jack Ryan novel and movie follow death of Tom Clancy Post to Facebook Will Jack Ryan live on after Tom Clancy's death?

Bob Minzesheimer , USA TODAY 11:14 p.m. ET Dec. 2, 2013 "Command Authority," co-written with Mark Greaney, is being released Tuesday. And arriving in theaters on Jan. 17 is "Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit" starring Chris Pine. Tom Clancy's 'Command Authority' comes out this week. (Photo: -) Jack Ryan lives on in bookstores and theaters New movie is prequel to 'Hunt for Red October' Will Clancy publish from the grave? Novelist Tom Clancy died two months ago at 66, but his best-known character, Jack Ryan, a former CIA operative who becomes president, lives on in bookstores and movie theaters. The last novel completed before Clancy's death, Command Authority, co-written with Mark Greaney, is being released Tuesday. In 739 pages, it features President Ryan and his son, Jack Ryan Jr., an analyst for The Campus, an off-the-books intelligence agency. Father and son join to match wits with a new Russian leader with a dark secret. Arriving in theaters on Jan. 17is Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit starring Chris Pine. Conceived and written by Hossein Amin, it's a prequel to Clancy's 1984 debut, The Hunt for Red October, which introduced Ryan and launched Clancy as a publishing sensation. That raises a question: Will Clancy's publishing franchise continue after his death? His publisher declined to be interviewed, but in a statement hinted that the Ryan adventures may not be over. Ivan Held, president of Putnam, says, "Tom Clancy left us an incredible group of characters and a truly phenomenal record of fictional plots that sometimes preceded world events. Command Authority shows his characters in just the kind of dire world situation that Tom's fans came to expect. And of course we hope Jack Ryan and The Campus team can live on." That's been done before. Writers have been recruited and authorized to write new stories using characters created by authors who have died, such as Ian Fleming (James Bond), Robert Ludlum (Jason Bourne) and Arthur Conan Doyle (Sherlock Holmes). Whether Clancy will be published from the grave may be up to his estate. (He's survived by his widow, Alexandra Llewellyn Clancy, and five children, who could not be reached.) During his lifetime, Clancy wrote 15 Ryan novels, the last four with co-authors. Six hit No. 1 on USA TODAY's Best-Selling Books list. Four were turned into popular movies, starring Alec Baldwin, Harrison Ford and Ben Affleck as Ryan. Clancy also was involved with numerous spin-offs, including video games and books. In an 2002 interview with USA TODAY, Clancy acknowledged that Tom Clancy's Op-Center, a series of books (adapted as a NBC miniseries), were actually written by a collaborator, Jeff Rovin. Clancy's explanation: "George Lucas didn't write all the Star War books. Gene Roddenberry didn't write all the Star Trek books." 114 CONNECT TWEET LINKEDIN 3 COMMENTEMAILMORE Read or Share this story: http://usat.ly/1cPQX9F NEVER MISS OUT Life Be a pop culture maven.

There are two major mechanical pulps, the thermomechanical one (TMP) and groundwood pulp (GW). In the TMP process, wood is chipped and then fed into large steam heated refiners, where the chips are squeezed and converted to fibres between two steel discs. In the groundwood process, debarked logs are fed into grinders where they are pressed against rotating stones to be made into fibres. Mechanical pulping does not remove the lignin, so the yield is very high, >95%, however it causes the paper thus produced to turn yellow and become brittle over time. Mechanical pulps have rather short fibres, thus producing weak paper. Although large amounts of electrical energy are required to produce mechanical pulp, it costs less than the chemical kind.
It's caused by the swelling of your vocal cords (aka vocal folds). When they get damaged, either through laryngitis or by helping your team win a football game, it changes the characteristics of your voice. If they get really damaged, then the space left within your larynx after the swelling is no longer sufficient to produce sounds that you hear as speech.
Despite Magellan's visit, Guam was not officially claimed by Spain until January 26, 1565 by General Miguel López de Legazpi.:46 From 1565 to 1815, Guam and the Northern Mariana Islands, the only Spanish outpost in the Pacific Ocean east of the Philippines, was an important resting stop for the Manila galleons, a fleet that covered the Pacific trade route between Acapulco and Manila.:51 To protect these Pacific fleets, Spain built several defensive structures which are still standing today, such as Fort Nuestra Señora de la Soledad in Umatac. It is the biggest single segment of Micronesia, the largest islands between the island of Kyushu (Japan), New Guinea, the Philippines, and the Hawaiian Islands.
Jane was an American magazine created to appeal to the women who grew up reading "Sassy Magazine"; Jane Pratt was the founding editor of each. Its original target audience (pitched to advertisers) was aged 18–34, and was designed to appeal to women who did not like the typical women's magazine format. Pratt originally intended the magazine to be named "Betty", but she was voted down by everyone else involved in the making of the magazine.
Separation of powers Checks and balances is the principle that each of the Branches has the power to limit or check the other two and this creates a balance between the three separate powers of the state, this principle induces that the ambitions of one branch prevent that one of the other branches become supreme, and thus be eternally confronting each other and in that process leaving the people free from government abuses. Checks and Balances are designed to maintain the system of separation of powers keeping each branch in its place. This is based on the idea that it is not enough to separate the powers and guarantee their independence but to give the various branches the constitutional means to defend their own legitimate powers from the encroachments of the other branches.[15] They guarantee that the powers of the state have the same weight (co-equal), that is, to be balanced, so that they can limit each other, avoiding the abuse of state power. The origin of checks and balances, like separation of powers itself, is specifically credited to Montesquieu in the Enlightenment (in The Spirit of the Laws, 1748), under this influence was implemented in 1787 in the Constitution of the United States.

Planting Warm-Season Crops Vegetables are classed as either warm- or cool-season, depending on the weather they need for best growth. Warm-season veggies require both warm soil and high temperatures (with a little cooling at night) to grow steadily and produce crops. They include traditional summer crops such as snap beans, corn, cucumbers, melons, peppers, tomatoes, and squash.“Winter” squashes such as acorn, hubbard, and banana are actually warm season crops: the name refers not to the planting season, but to the fact that they can be stored for winter consumption. For almost all of these vegetables, the fruit (rather than the roots or leaves), is the edible part. Warm season crops are killed by winter frosts, so don’t plant them until after the last frost in spring unless you give them cold protection.

Since the 1980s it has become common for social and cultural anthropologists to set ethnographic research in the North Atlantic region, frequently examining the connections between locations rather than limiting research to a single locale. There has also been a related shift toward broadening the focus beyond the daily life of ordinary people; increasingly, research is set in settings such as scientific laboratories, social movements, governmental and nongovernmental organizations and businesses.

Alligators are more tolerant of colder water and weather, and thus are found not only in Florida but in Georgia, Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, Texas, Arkansas, North Carolina and South Carolina. Crocodiles are much more susceptible to cold and for that reason they are only found in Florida, and only in south Florida. They require consistent, year-round tropical temperatures. Even a cold snap in south Florida can kill crocodiles, while alligators may continue to thrive.

Suction This is similar to what happens when humans breathe or drink through a straw. Both breathing and using a straw involve contracting the diaphragm and muscles around the rib cage. The increased volume in the chest cavity decreases the pressure inside, creating an imbalance with the ambient air pressure, or atmospheric pressure. This imbalance results in air pushing into the lungs or liquid pushing up through a straw and into the mouth.

Joe Biden leads the Democratic primary field in Pennsylvania with 22 percent, according to a new poll, but that is down from 30 percent in October. Former Vice President Joe Biden remains the front-runner in Pennsylvania among Democrats, according to a new poll, while just 41 percent of registered voters said President Donald Trump deserves re-election. In the latest Franklin and Marshall College poll released Thursday, Biden was supported by 22 percent of Democrats, but that was down from the school’s October poll. Biden was followed by Vermont U.S. Sen. Bernie Sanders at 15 percent, Massachusetts U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren at 14 percent and billionaire businessman Michael Bloomberg with 7 percent. The remaining Democratic primary candidates had 6 percent or less support in the poll. F&M College’s October poll had Biden with 30 percent, leading Warren, who had 18 percent, and Sanders at 12 percent. Bloomberg had not yet entered the race when that poll was taken. When asked who their second choice for president would be, 26 percent of Democrats said Warren, followed by Sanders and Biden tied at 18 percent each, and South Bend, Ind., Mayor Pete Buttigieg with 11 percent. A statement from F&M College pollsters said the contest between Biden, Warren and Sanders "is driven by ideology" with 72 percent of Sanders voters and 73 percent of Warren supporters identifying themselves as liberal, compared to just 40 percent of Biden supporters. Pennsylvania’s primary is on April 28. Twenty percent of Democrats said healthcare is their top issue in picking a candidate and 42 percent said honesty is the quality they want most in one. Trump’s numbers remain worrisome for Republicans, but while only 41 percent said he deserves re-election that is up from October when 37 percent said he did. Fifty-seven percent said it is time for a change in the White House, compared to 59 percent in October. Asked to rate Trump’s job performance, 21 percent rated it as excellent, 17 percent as good, 12 percent as fair and 49 percent as poor. Of the respondents supporting Trump, 83 percent said they would vote for him no matter who ran against him, while 87 percent of people opposing him said they would vote against him regardless of which Democrat challenges him. Trump and the top three Democratic candidates are all underwater when it comes to their favorable/unfavorable ratings. F&M College found that Trump was at 41 percent/55 percent, Biden was at 43 percent/47 percent, Sanders was at 39 percent/54 percent and Warren was at 37 percent/46 percent. Regionally, 51 percent of respondents from southwestern Pennsylvania said Trump should not be voted out while 33 percent said it is time for a change. Among the Democratic candidates, 22 percent of southwestern Pennsylvania voters chose "other" and 31 percent said they had no preferred candidate, while 15 percent picked Sanders, 14 percent went with Biden and Bloomberg, and Warren received no votes. Natural gas fracking has become an issue in the race with several Democratic candidates promising to ban the controversial extraction practice. Fifty-five percent of southwestern Pennsylvania respondents oppose a fracking ban and 28 percent support one. Philadelphia (67 percent) and Allegheny County (61 percent) had the strongest support for a fracking ban while southwestern and central Pennsylvania (47 percent) had the strongest opposition to a ban. Overall, state voters support fracking 48 percent to 44 percent. The F&M College poll surveyed 628 registered voters between Jan. 20 and 26. The margin of error is plus or minus 6.2 percentage points for the poll and plus or minus 9 percentage points for questions to 292 registered Democrats.

Neuron Neuron is the main cell of the Nervous System. It is an electrical excitable cell that is responsible for the transmision of the nerve impulse. With it, they process (in the brain, ganglia and spinal cord) and transmit information. A human brain has 100.000 millions of neurons. The other type of cell is glia, which protects the former. Neurons have three main parts: Cell body or Soma: it is the main part of the cell, the one that makes all metabolism and functions. It is very similar to other body cells, except for the difference that neurons do not replicate. Axon: it is the longest and most important part of the neuron, it transmits the impulse. A neuron has one only axon. Axon terminals: these terminals contain the synaptic bulbs which secrete neurotransmitters to initiate the impulse on the next neuron. Dendrites: they detect the neurotransmitter and have receptors to receive the neurotransmitter and they start the impulse if it is strong enough. Neurons do not reproduce like many others type of cells (they are amitotic, they do not have mitosis). Their DNA copying is blocked. Thus, they usually don't regenerate (except for aferent and eferent neurons) and have to be protected from damage by the glial cells. The regeneration is done via Schwann cells (glia). Nerve impulse Edit Neurons communicate via chemical and electrical synapses, in a process known as synaptic transmission. The fundamental process that triggers synaptic transmission is the action potential, a propagating electrical signal that is generated by exploiting the electrically excitable membrane of the neuron. This is also known as a wave of depolarization. Neurons form nerves. Nerves can be up to 1 meter long (the nerves controlling the legs, for instance). Classification by function Edit Afferent (sensitive): they pick information of the environment to the brain and spinal chord. Examples: Corti organ cells, Meissner corpuscules, Ruffini (continuous pressure and stretching), Pacini (vibrations), Merckel (tact). Efferent (motor): they transmit messages from the CNS to the organs and motor nerves. Associative (found on the brain): they integrate the information received from sensitive neurons and they send the resulting data to motor neurons. Associative neurons are the most complex type of cells that exist. They form complex neural networks on the brain and its adjacent structures. They are responsible for conscience and voluntary movement in animals. See brain . Classification by polarity Edit Unipolar: only one prolongation (no dendrites) that functions as an axon, the impulse does not cross the soma. Bipolar: a dendrite and an axon only. Example: retine cells. Multipolar: they have a great quantity of dendrites branching from the cell body (soma). Golgi I and Golgi II are the two types. Pseudo-unipolar: Anaxonic: This article is a stub. You can help the Neuroscience Wiki by expanding it . Categories: Stub Nervous System Add category

The rectangular function, the frequency response of the sinc filter. In signal processing, a sinc filter is an idealized filter that removes all frequency components above a given cutoff frequency, without affecting lower frequencies, and has linear phase response.The filter's impulse response is a sinc function in the time domain, and its frequency response is a rectangular function.It is an ideal low-pass filter in the frequency sense, perfectly passing low frequencies, perfectly cutting high frequencies; and thus may be considered to be a brick-wall filter.he sinc filter is not bounded-inputâbounded-output (BIBO) stable. That is, a bounded input can produce an unbounded output, because the integral of the absolute value of the sinc function is infinite. A bounded input that produces an unbounded output is sgn(sinc(t)).
If you weren't already aware, the notion that "communism has always failed in real life" is a misconception. What history has taught us is that single-party authoritarian states which actively repress and oppress their people fail. Because most Marxist-Leninist vanguard-led revolutions degenerate into paranoid frenzies, democracy (for the most part) is rejected in fears of bourgeois counterrevolutionaries. The autocrats who led the dominant party had supreme control and silenced (read: imprisoned, tortured, murdered, etc.) any perceived threats, as well as took preemptive measures against potential threats through censorship and suppression of other freedoms.

Conversion of Temperature - Celsius to Fahrenheit Conversion of Temperature Quick Celsius (°C) / Fahrenheit (°F) Conversion: Conversion Tool Just type a value in either box: °C: Or use the Interactive Thermometer , Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 °C to °F There are two main temperature scales: °F, the Fahrenheit Scale (used in the US), and °C, the Celsius Scale (part of the Metric System, used in most other countries) They both measure the same thing (temperature!), but use different numbers: Boiling water (at normal pressure) measures 100° in Celsius, but 212° in Fahrenheit And as water freezes it measures 0° in Celsius, but 32° in Fahrenheit Like this: Looking at the diagram, notice: The scales start at a different number (0 vs 32), so we will need to add or subtract 32 The scales rise at a different rate (100 vs 180), so we will also need to multiply And so, to convert: from Celsius to Fahrenheit: first multiply by 180/100, then add 32 from Fahrenheit to Celsius: first subtract 32, then multiply by 100/180 But 180/100 can be simplified to 9/5, and 100/180 can be simplified to 5/9, so this is the easiest way: °C to °F Deduct 32, then multiply by 5, then divide by 9 We can write each as a formula like this: Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C × 9/5) + 32 = °F Fahrenheit to Celsius: (°F − 32) x 5/9 = °C Example: Convert 26° Celsius (a nice warm day) to Fahrenheit First: 26° × 9/5 = 234/5 = 46.8 Then: 46.8 + 32 = 78.8° F Example: Convert 98.6° Fahrenheit (normal body temperature) to Celsius First: 98.6° − 32 = 66.6 Then: 66.6 × 5/9 = 333/9 = 37° C Use 1.8 instead of 9/5 9/5 is equal to 1.8, so we can also use this method: Celsius to Fahrenheit: °C × 1.8 + 32 = °F Fahrenheit to Celsius: (°F − 32) / 1.8 = °C To make "×1.8" easier we can multiply by 2 and subtract 10%, but it only works for °C to °F: Celsius to Fahrenheit: (°C × 2) less 10% + 32 = °F Example: Convert 20° Celsius (A nice day) to Fahrenheit 20x2 = 40 Celsius to Fahrenheit: Add 40, multiply by 9/5, then subtract 40 Fahrenheit to Celsius: Add 40, multiply by 5/9, then subtract 40 Example: Convert 10° Celsius (A cool day) to Fahrenheit 10+40 = 50 50×9/5 = 90 90−40 = 50° F To remember 9/5 for °C to °F think "F is greater than C, so there are more °F than °C" Celsius to Fahrenheit: Double, then add 30 Fahrenheit to Celsius: Subtract 30, then halve Examples °C → °F: 0° C → 0+30 → 30° F (low by 2°) 10° C → 20+30 → 50° F (exact!) 30° C → 60+30 → 90° F (high by 4°) 180° C → 360+30 → 390° F (high by 34°, not good) Examples °F → °C: 40° F → 10/2 → 5° C (almost right) 80° F → 50/2 → 25° C (low by about 2°) 120° F → 90/2 → 45° C (low by about 4°) 450° F → 420/2 → 210° C (low by about 22°, not good) Footnote: Temperature is a measure of how fast an objects particles are moving.
What does mah mean on a battery? Science & Mathematics Engineering What does mah mean on a battery?and how would it affect performance on rc car Follow 13 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: m AH means mili ampere hour. It is a measure of the energy storage capability of the battery. If the battery is rated for say 1000m AH, then it is capable of delivering 1000m A for 1 hour. If the battery were rated for 2000m AH then it could deliver 2000m A for 1 hour, so it would have twice the energy capacity of the first battery. If you know what your load takes - for example 100m A, then a 1000m AH battery could sustain this load for 10 hours (1000/100). If the load were 2000m A then the battery could only support the load for half an hour (1000/2000). The ratings are worked out to a discharge voltage of about 9 volts for lead acid - ie the terminal voltage has reached 9v after 'taking away' its rated capacity. Bigger capacity means able to run a given load for a greater length of time. V8MAN · 1 decade ago10 0 1 comment Asker's rating Milli Amp Hours. like Amp Hours when you have to start with a decimal point, normally found on rechargabel batteries, the higher the figure the more potent the Battery is when comparing like for like, However Ni MH Nickel Metal Hydride, at 1.2 volts per cell can be recharged at will to full capacity, whilst Ni Cad Nickel Cadmium again 1.2 volts, must be fully discharged prior to recharging or their effective capacity reduces, and the old non rechargable batteries, which start at 1.5 volts and drop away progressively unlike rechargables which maintain 90% of the initial voltage until almost exhausted. Generally go for a 1200 mah Ni MH AA cell for your flash light or camera, the 800 is half the price twice the aggro. Non rechargables are for smoke alarms and clocks. Because battery energy output varies with voltage which varies as the battery discharges the formula described by V8man above is not applicable in this case. Tom Cobbley · 1 decade ago1 0 Comment What Does Mah Mean Source (s):https://shrink.im/a9CErleash · 2 years ago0 0 Commentm AH is an abbreviation for milliamp hours, or the amount of power contained in the battery. In general, the higher the m AH rating, the longer the battery will last under a given load. In your application, comparing two batteries with different m AH ratings but otherwise identical, the one with the higher rating will mean your RC car will operate for a longer time.

Higher m Ah values theoretically last longer without requiring a recharge. Dave · 1 decade ago3 1 Comment This is an easy one, my friend: m = milli a = amp h = hours So, 15 mah will mean fifteen millamp hours.

A presidential debate was planned to occur in 1996, but owing to scheduling difficulties between the candidates, the debate was canceled. The university hosted the only 2008 vice presidential debate, between Republican Sarah Palin and Democrat Joe Biden, on October 2, 2008, also at the Washington University Athletic Complex.
An ancient Indian treatise on statecraft, economic policy and military strategy by Kautilya and Viṣhṇugupta, who are traditionally identified with Chāṇakya (c. 350–-283 BCE). In this treatise, the behaviors and relationships of the people, the King, the State, the Government Superintendents, Courtiers, Enemies, Invaders, and Corporations are analysed and documented. Roger Boesche describes the Arthaśāstra as "a book of political realism, a book analysing how the political world does work and not very often stating how it ought to work, a book that frequently discloses to a king what calculating and sometimes brutal measures he must carry out to preserve the state and the common good."

A: There are many reasons the feet may swell. It is very important that you figure out the root cause behind your swollen feet. Heart, liver or kidney disease. Sometimes swelling can indicate a problem such as heart, liver, or kidney disease. Ankles that swell in the evening could be a sign of retaining salt and water because of right-side heart failure. Kidney disease can also cause foot and ankle swelling. When kidneys are not functioning properly, fluid can build up in the body.
Australian rules football and cricket are the most popular sports in Melbourne. It is considered the spiritual home of the two sports in Australia. The first official Test cricket match was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in March 1877. The origins of Australian rules football can be traced to matches played next to the MCG in 1858. The Australian Football League is headquartered at Docklands Stadium. Nine of the League's teams are based in the Melbourne metropolitan area: Carlton, Collingwood, Essendon, Hawthorn, Melbourne, North Melbourne, Richmond, St Kilda, and Western Bulldogs. Up to five AFL matches are played each week in Melbourne, attracting an average 40,000 people per game. Additionally, the city annually hosts the AFL Grand Final.
