Jean Sibelius \| Biography & History \| AllMusic google+ Artist Biography by Robert Cummings Finland's Jean Sibelius is perhaps the most important composer associated with nationalism in music and one of the most influential in the development of the symphony and symphonic poem. Sibelius was born in southern Finland, the second of three children. His physician father left the family bankrupt, owing to his financial extravagance, a trait that, along with heavy drinking, he would pass on to Jean. Jean showed talent on the violin and at age nine composed his first work for it, Rain Drops. In 1885 Sibelius entered the University of Helsinki to study law, but after only a year found himself drawn back to music. He took up composition studies with Martin Wegelius and violin with Mitrofan Wasiliev, then Hermann Csillag. During this time he also became a close friend of Busoni . Though Sibelius auditioned for the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra , he would come to realize he was not suited to a career as a violinist. In 1889 Sibelius traveled to Berlin to study counterpoint with Albert Becker , where he also was exposed to new music, particularly that of Richard Strauss . In Vienna he studied with Karl Goldmark and then Robert Fuchs , the latter said to be his most effective teacher. Now Sibelius began pondering the composition of the Kullervo Symphony, based on the Kalevala legends. Sibelius returned to Finland, taught music, and in June 1892, married Aino Järnefelt, daughter of General Alexander Järnefelt, head of one of the most influential families in Finland. The premiere of Kullervo in April 1893 created a veritable sensation, Sibelius thereafter being looked upon as the foremost Finnish composer. The Lemminkäinen suite, begun in 1895 and premiered on April 13, 1896, has come to be regarded as the most important music by Sibelius up to that time. In 1897 the Finnish Senate voted to pay Sibelius a short-term pension, which some years later became a lifetime conferral. The honor was in lieu of his loss of an important professorship in composition at the music school, the position going to Robert Kajanus . The year 1899 saw the premiere of Sibelius ' First Symphony, which was a tremendous success, to be sure, but not quite of the magnitude of that of Finlandia (1899; rev. 1900). In the next decade Sibelius would become an international figure in the concert world. Kajanus introduced several of the composer's works abroad; Sibelius himself was invited to Heidelberg and Berlin to conduct his music. In March 1901, the Second Symphony was received as a statement of independence for Finland, although Sibelius always discouraged attaching programmatic ideas to his music. His only concerto, for violin, came in 1903. The next year Sibelius built a villa outside of Helsinki, named "Ainola" after his wife, where he would live for his remaining 53 years. After a 1908 operation to remove a throat tumor, Sibelius was implored to abstain from alcohol and tobacco, a sanction he followed until 1915. It is generally believed that the darkening of mood in his music during these years owes something to the health crisis. Sibelius made frequent trips to England, having visited first in 1905 at the urging of Granville Bantock. In 1914 he traveled to Norfolk, CT, where he conducted his newest work The Oceanides. Sibelius spent the war years in Finland working on his Fifth Symphony. Sibelius traveled to England for the last time in 1921. Three years later he completed his Seventh Symphony, and his last work was the incidental music for The Tempest (1925). For his last 30 years Sibelius lived a mostly quiet life, working only on revisions and being generally regarded as the greatest living composer of symphonies. In 1955 his 90th birthday was widely celebrated throughout the world with many performances of his music. Sibelius died of a cerebral hemorrhage in 1957.
pascal (Pa) \| unit of energy measurement \| Britannica.com unit of energy measurement hour Pascal (Pa), unit of pressure in the metre-kilogram-second system. (See the International System of Units .) It was named in honour of the French mathematician-physicist Blaise Pascal (1623–62). A pascal is a pressure of one newton per square metre; this unit is inconveniently small for many purposes, and the kilopascal (kPa) of 1,000 newtons per square metre is more commonly used. For example, standard atmospheric pressure is defined as 101.325 kPa. (For comparison, one pound per square inch equals 6.895 kPa.)

Hemicorporectomy Hemicorporectomy is a radical surgery in which the body below the waist is amputated, transecting the lumbar spine. This removes the legs, the genitalia (internal and external), urinary system, pelvic bones, anus, and rectum.[1][2] It is a severely mutilating procedure recommended only as a last resort for people with severe and potentially fatal illnesses such as osteomyelitis, tumors, severe traumas and intractable decubiti in, or around, the pelvis.[3] It has only been reported a few dozen times in medical literature.[4]

There are few other numbers as small as 360 that have so many different factors. This makes the degree a very nice unit to divide the circle into an equal number of parts. 120 degrees is 1/3 of a circle, 90 degrees is 1/4, and so on. So while a deeg, being 1/100th of a circle, may seem nice and round to us ten-fingered folks, it isn't so convenient for dividing a pie into thirds.
A slot machine (American English), informally fruit machine (British English), puggy (Scottish English slang), the slots (Canadian and American English), poker machine (or pokies in slang) (Australian English and New Zealand English) or simply slot (American English), is a casino gambling machine with three or more reels which spin when a button is pushed. Slot machines are also known as one-armed bandits because they were originally operated by one lever on the side of the machine as distinct from a button on the front panel, and because of their ability to leave the player in debt and impoverished. Many modern machines are still equipped with a legacy lever in addition to the button.
Overview Print Overview Female urinary system Male urinary system A urinary tract infection (UTI) is an infection in any part of your urinary system — your kidneys, ureters, bladder and urethra. Most infections involve the lower urinary tract — the bladder and the urethra. Women are at greater risk of developing a UTI than are men. Infection limited to your bladder can be painful and annoying. However, serious consequences can occur if a UTI spreads to your kidneys. Doctors typically treat urinary tract infections with antibiotics. But you can take steps to reduce your chances of getting a UTI in the first place. Urinary tract infection care at Mayo Clinic Symptoms Urinary tract infections don't always cause signs and symptoms, but when they do they may include: A strong, persistent urge to urinate A burning sensation when urinating Passing frequent, small amounts of urine Urine that appears cloudy Urine that appears red, bright pink or cola-colored — a sign of blood in the urine Strong-smelling urine Pelvic pain, in women — especially in the center of the pelvis and around the area of the pubic bone UTIs may be overlooked or mistaken for other conditions in older adults. Types of urinary tract infection Each type of UTI may result in more-specific signs and symptoms, depending on which part of your urinary tract is infected. Part of urinary tract affected Signs and symptoms Kidneys (acute pyelonephritis)Upper back and side (flank) pain High fever Shaking and chills Nausea Vomiting Bladder (cystitis)Pelvic pressure Lower abdomen discomfort Frequent, painful urination Blood in urine Urethra (urethritis)Burning with urination Discharge When to see a doctor Contact your doctor if you have signs and symptoms of a UTI. Request an Appointment at Mayo Clinic Causes Urinary tract infections typically occur when bacteria enter the urinary tract through the urethra and begin to multiply in the bladder. Although the urinary system is designed to keep out such microscopic invaders, these defenses sometimes fail. When that happens, bacteria may take hold and grow into a full-blown infection in the urinary tract. The most common UTIs occur mainly in women and affect the bladder and urethra. Infection of the bladder (cystitis). This type of UTI is usually caused by Escherichia coli (E. coli), a type of bacteria commonly found in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract. However, sometimes other bacteria are responsible. Sexual intercourse may lead to cystitis, but you don't have to be sexually active to develop it. All women are at risk of cystitis because of their anatomy — specifically, the short distance from the urethra to the anus and the urethral opening to the bladder. Infection of the urethra (urethritis). This type of UTI can occur when GI bacteria spread from the anus to the urethra. Also, because the female urethra is close to the vagina, sexually transmitted infections, such as herpes, gonorrhea, chlamydia and mycoplasma, can cause urethritis. Risk factors Urinary tract infections are common in women, and many women experience more than one infection during their lifetimes. Risk factors specific to women for UTIs include: Female anatomy. A woman has a shorter urethra than a man does, which shortens the distance that bacteria must travel to reach the bladder. Sexual activity. Sexually active women tend to have more UTIs than do women who aren't sexually active. Having a new sexual partner also increases your risk. Certain types of birth control. Women who use diaphragms for birth control may be at higher risk, as well as women who use spermicidal agents. Menopause. After menopause, a decline in circulating estrogen causes changes in the urinary tract that make you more vulnerable to infection. Other risk factors for UTIs include: Urinary tract abnormalities. Babies born with urinary tract abnormalities that don't allow urine to leave the body normally or cause urine to back up in the urethra have an increased risk of UTIs. Blockages in the urinary tract. Kidney stones or an enlarged prostate can trap urine in the bladder and increase the risk of UTIs. A suppressed immune system. Diabetes and other diseases that impair the immune system — the body's defense against germs — can increase the risk of UTIs. Catheter use. People who can't urinate on their own and use a tube (catheter) to urinate have an increased risk of UTIs. This may include people who are hospitalized, people with neurological problems that make it difficult to control their ability to urinate and people who are paralyzed. A recent urinary procedure. Urinary surgery or an exam of your urinary tract that involves medical instruments can both increase your risk of developing a urinary tract infection. Complications When treated promptly and properly, lower urinary tract infections rarely lead to complications. But left untreated, a urinary tract infection can have serious consequences. Complications of a UTI may include: Recurrent infections, especially in women who experience two or more UTIs in a six-month period or four or more within a year. Permanent kidney damage from an acute or chronic kidney infection (pyelonephritis) due to an untreated UTI. Increased risk in pregnant women of delivering low birth weight or premature infants. Urethral narrowing (stricture) in men from recurrent urethritis, previously seen with gonococcal urethritis. Sepsis, a potentially life-threatening complication of an infection, especially if the infection works its way up your urinary tract to your kidneys. Prevention You can take these steps to reduce your risk of urinary tract infections: Drink plenty of liquids, especially water. Drinking water helps dilute your urine and ensures that you'll urinate more frequently — allowing bacteria to be flushed from your urinary tract before an infection can begin. Drink cranberry juice. Although studies are not conclusive that cranberry juice prevents UTIs, it is likely not harmful. Wipe from front to back. Doing so after urinating and after a bowel movement helps prevent bacteria in the anal region from spreading to the vagina and urethra. Empty your bladder soon after intercourse. Also, drink a full glass of water to help flush bacteria. Avoid potentially irritating feminine products. Using deodorant sprays or other feminine products, such as douches and powders, in the genital area can irritate the urethra. Change your birth control method. Diaphragms, or unlubricated or spermicide-treated condoms, can all contribute to bacterial growth.

BENEFITS OF HEIRLOOM AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDS BENEFITS OF HEIRLOOM AND OPEN POLLINATED SEEDSHello, my name is Alex Sanders and I am the Site Supervisor for Grow Appalachia Garden Project at Project Worth Outreach in Menifee County, Kentucky. Today’s post is written by Dave Fryman. He is one of our new Grow Appalachia gardeners. My name is Dave and my wife Sandy, and son, Ben are a part of Grow Appalachia Garden Project at Project Worth Outreach. This is our first year with Grow Appalachia. I would like to talk about the benefits of heirloom seeds and open pollinated seeds when ordering seeds for your new garden. Open pollinated seeds are seeds and plants that are true to their parent plant, year after year. Heirloom seeds are open pollinated seeds that are at least 50 years old or older of the seeds producing the same as the original parent plant. Before the 1900’s all seeds were heirloom seeds. Some of these can be traced back to seeds that came over with the pilgrims. The benefits of using open pollinated seeds and heirloom seeds are that you can save the seeds year after year without having to buy new seeds every season. In contrast there are hybrid plants that are cross pollinated plants to produce a more resistant variety to its original. The problem with hybrid seeds are when you save them you do not get a seed that is true to the original plant. Most open pollinated plants today have started as a cross pollinated plant or hybrid. What they had to do is save the seeds and replant them the next season. Once mature they might have one or two plants out of ten that were true to their parent plant. They needed to do the same thing for at least 7 years until they will have a seed plant true to the original parent plant. Back in 2010 my wife and I decided we wanted to grow gardens again by using only heirloom seeds and plants. Thus started our new life of self sustainability. I checked out the Internet to find the seeds we could start with. I came upon a site which we thought would meet or needs. Here is a link to one of his videos about heirloom seeds.http://www.borganic.net/videos/SMORG306_for_web.mov SMORG306_for_web.mov (video quicktime Object).movhttp://eldoradoheirloomseeds.com/ (I am nor endorsing this site as Grow Appalachia will provide the seeds. I just want this to be an educational guide only. )We ordered seeds from this company and received them back in August of 2010. Living in Florida at the time we started planting the seeds as soon as we received them. In south Florida you can grow year round. We received 14 different types of tomatoes as my wife requested that she wanted a lot of different tomatoes. Along with that order we received 6 different types of beans, one of which is called the Mayflower Bean, because the original seeds came over on the Mayflower back in 1620, one corn only (non GMO corn is hard to get because each year Monsanto’s GMO varieties are taking over the organic and Heirloom varieties people have been working so hard for so many years to preserve for our future generations), 4 different types of lettuce, 1 spinach, 2 cabbage, 2 greens and numerous other vegetables. We started growing them in Florida, but we had to use raised beds because the soil was just sand and nor suitable to grow a garden in the virgin soil. We have used about 2/3 rds of the original seeds and have saved seeds from the vegetables we liked best. Over the past 3 years those original packages of 20 seeds each has turned into hundreds. A year and half ago we decided to move to Kentucky and one of our most prized possessions were our heirloom seeds. We started a garden last season with our prized seeds and are continuing with those same original seeds this year. This past fall we started aquiring open pollinated seed that are indigenous to this area and hopefully pass on these future heirlooms to our children and future generations. This will be our first year with Grow Appalachia and we are very excited to start our 2013 garden with the help of the program’s resources and the knowledge and experience of you old timers that know gardening in eastern Kentucky like they know the back of their hand. I wanted to give this blog for the new gardeners that are just starting and learning as we did over 3 years ago. Good luck with your new adventure into sustainable living.

Please, keep me posted even though I am to far out of the way to be a part of Grow Appalachia this year. I’ll contact friends and neighbors…maybe we can have a group by fall to start planning next year. Thanks again, Barbara Maggie Ashmore February 20, 2013 at 1:39 pm - Reply Great post. Thanks for sharing your enthusiasm for heirloom and open pollinated seeds. If you live close enough you should check out the 3rd annual seed swap we are hosting at Pine Mountain Settlement School on March 16th, or if Pikeville is closer there will be a seed swap at the extension office on April 6th!Sr. Kathy Curtis February 20, 2013 at 4:46 pm - Reply Welcome to the mountains and to the Grow Appalachia family. I too am from Florida, the west coast, and know what you mean about the sand. I would love some of it to go into our clay soil though. It will be fun hearing about your search for mountain heirlooms. You will be happy. Leave A Comment

The British—by inclination as well as for practical reasons—had tended to avoid large-scale commitments of troops on the Continent. They sought to offset the disadvantage of this in Europe by allying themselves with one or more Continental powers whose interests were antithetical to those of their enemies, particularly France.:15–16 By subsidising the armies of continental allies, Britain could turn London's enormous financial power to military advantage. In the Seven Years' War, the British chose as their principal partner the greatest general of the day, Frederick the Great of Prussia, then the rising power in central Europe, and paid Frederick substantial subsidies for his campaigns.:106 This was accomplished in the Diplomatic Revolution of 1756, in which Britain ended its long-standing alliance with Austria in favor of Prussia, leaving Austria to side with France. In marked contrast to France, Britain strove to prosecute the war actively in the colonies, taking full advantage of its naval power. :64–66 The British pursued a dual strategy – naval blockade and bombardment of enemy ports, and rapid movement of troops by sea. They harassed enemy shipping and attacked enemy colonies, frequently using colonists from nearby British colonies in the effort.
When Do Puppies Lose Their Baby Teeth Home Puppies When Do Puppies Lose Their Baby Teeth When Do Puppies Lose Their Baby Teeth By Staff 10184Because puppies are so busy growing at superhuman rates during their first year, we tend to miss a few of their milestones. After all, aging seven years to our one means that all the developmental hurdles are usually crossed within the first nine months. Some of the milestones are quite obvious and difficult to miss. Sexual maturity, the loss of the sweet fuzzy puppy fuzz that is replaced with the dog hair that will clog up your vacuum for the rest of his life, and that beautiful day when he figures out once and for all exactly where the potty for puppies is makes a dog’s human proud and gives us the sense that our time and energy is being well spent. We can see these milestones as a reflection of our loving care. Not all milestones are quite so obvious, such as when do puppies lose their baby teeth? Those little razor sharp baby teeth, while can help Fido look as cute as a button with his gaping grinning “cheese,” cut deeply into human flesh when accidental nips happen. God forbid you end up the receiving end of an intentional bite, it feels like those little razors are slicing through vital arteries, even if it is just a finger. Most humans are grateful when those tiny little dagger blades are finally replaced with their grown up version. Since the dog is the only member of the family lacking his own personal tooth fairy, humans often don’t recognize when this wonderful change over is occurring. Occasionally you might find one of the little lost pins with your bare foot on the way to the shower, which really doesn’t feel much better than that nip he gave you when you were playing ball with him. It seems as though nature has given dogs a certain protection against the general discomfort of losing baby teeth. While most of the time, losing human baby teeth doesn’t actually hurt, it does cause a child to become careful in the way that they chew or the choices they make when deciding what to eat. Dogs do not have a choice and most owners are clueless to their puppy’s tooth issues. Thus, since dogs can not opt for the softer, more manageable apple sauce over their hard and crunchy dog food, nature has spared them any type of noticeable discomfort. At least, that’s what we as their humans believe. It is rare to find a puppy’s baby tooth lounging about on the floor. It is more likely that what few baby teeth will be discovered will be seen clinging to a chew toy, stuck in the toy where the pressure had pushed it in but left there without the mouth it knew before. Most of the time, humans don’t find any baby teeth at all, as it is the nature of dogs to swallow it whole when it finally falls out. The first time a human is likely to notice this change in their puppy is when their front teeth are separated by a gaping hole in their mouth as though they were socked right in the kisser. Puppies begin to lose their baby teeth at 4 months of age Since puppies are so slick about dropping their teeth and growing in their more ferocious permanent fangs, it is hard to really be sure when do puppies lose their baby teeth. The average is about 4 month of age, that sweet and terrible age when puppies begin acting like petulant adolescents with all the knowledge in the world living with the world’s stupidest humans. The basic range, however depending on the dog’s size and breed, runs between 3 and 6 months of age, with a few stubborn breeds holding onto those baby teeth into the seventh and eighth months. Once upon a time, right around the dawning of life on earth, mammals were only born with a single set of teeth. As teeth began to break, wear down, or were lost in fights or other stunts of survival, a new tooth grew in to replace the old tooth. Somewhere around 250 million years ago, mammals developed a two teeth system that has served puppies and humans alike. The sharper baby teeth make up for a lack of jaw strength while the stronger permanent teeth allow for better positioning and greater durability. Not a bad system really, until you or your dog starts wearing out or losing those adult teeth to decay. Of course, oral hygiene for dogs has finally been recognized as one of those higher quality of life issues. A dog should have an annual cleaning (sometimes more frequently if the needs arise) and have oral care as part of their routine vet visits. Sometimes, a tooth can rot out in just a few months, leaving your dog with what appears to be finicky eating habits and undisclosed pain. Dogs can not go to their humans with a headache caused by their teeth nor can they discuss a sharp burning sensation that blinds them behind the eye every time they try to crunch down on something. They can not explain how much more they would appreciate that little chewy thing you gave them if it didn’t feel like they were chewing on glass with every bite. So, when do puppies lose their baby teeth? Besides the obvious answer; when their permanent teeth are getting ready to pop up through the gums, it is basically safe to assume that a larger dog will start popping out his razor sharp canines right around three months while the smaller whippersnappers might hang on until the end of the sixth month. Of course, these are just guidelines and just like every other milestone, your puppy will achieve them as he is ready.tweet RELATED ARTICLES MORE FROM AUTHORPuppies When do Puppies Open their Eyes Puppies Should I Get a Male or Female Dog Puppies Feeding a Puppy Table Scraps5 COMMENTSJanet martin October 6, 2015 at 3:36 PMThank you so very much for the info!

Reply Rl June 19, 2016 at 9:20 AMI suggest you listen to your vet. He/she does, afterall, have a degree in veterinary medicine. It’s not uncommon for smaller breeds to hang onto some baby teeth, often the canines. They should come out. Leaving them could be the very cause of your daughter’s dogs terrible infection. Those teeth sit there, causing malocclusion and trap even more gunk which leads to more dental disease. If your daughter has not lost her baby teeth in a timely fashion, the dentist would have suggested removing them, too. One of my sons had that happen.

Generally the plaintext follows some sort of pattern. If you know the pattern, you can check to see if the output follows that pattern. An easy way to see if a string follows a pattern is to try compressing it. Compression algorithms are quite good at finding patterns. A common pattern would be that the text is ASCII or valid unicode as normally the plaintext is actually text.
This might be its own question, but I would be really interested if anyone could speak to the larger context on Pine Ridge at the time. Often, especially in the lefty activist circles I hang out in, Peltier's story, and the story of Wounded Knee occupation, are told as the story of a revolutionary indigenous movement being crushed by US authorities. It wasn't until much later that people would talk about the war between AIM and GOON, and Dick Wilson's name is still whispered by some people like a bogeyman. What really went on? Were Wilson and GOON really supported by the US government, or is that just propaganda?

BBC ON THIS DAY \| 8 \| 1991: Beirut hostage John McCarthy freed About This Site \| Text Only 1991: Beirut hostage John McCarthy freed John McCarthy, Britain's longest-held hostage in Lebanon, has been set free after more than five years in captivity. The militant group, Islamic Jihad, which had had been holding the journalist announced his release in a statement delivered to a news agency in the capital, Beirut. The statement described Mr McCarthy as an "envoy" and said he had been given a letter to deliver in person to the UN Secretary General. Mr McCarthy - who was abducted in April 1986 - was one of about 11 Westerners believed to be held by Islamic Jihad or other militant groups. Speaking at a news conference in Damascus, Syria where he was flown after his release, Mr McCarthy thanked those who had campaigned on his behalf. He urged them to carry on working for the release of those still in captivity. "Keep up the efforts to end the ordeal of my fellow hostages and all those who are held in similar conditions in the region," he said. Mr McCarthy said that American hostages Terry Anderson and Tom Sutherland and Briton Terry Waite had been in good health and spirits when he left them two days ago. Whatever strength he had found to endure the last few years had come from his fellow hostages, he added. In Britain Mr McCarthy's friend, Jill Morrell, who led a campaign to get him freed said she was "ecstatic" at his release. "There were times when it seemed like it would take forever and there were times when it seemed like it had been going on for an eternity but we all always knew that John would be released one day," Miss Morrell said. The ordeal of captivity was over but John McCarthy now faced the new ordeal of re-entering the world which would be like a "bright glaring light" to him, she added.

What is Supra? What is Supra? Legal Definition Supra (Latin for "above") is an academic and legal citation signal used when a writer desires to refer a reader to an earlier-cited authority. For example, an author wanting to refer to a source in his or her third footnote would cite: See supra note 3. Or for text in that note: See supra text accompanying note 3. Supra can also be used to provide a short form citation to an earlier (but not immediately preceding) authority. For example: Stephen J. Legatzke, Note, The Equitable Recoupment Doctrine in United States v. Dalm: Where's the Equity, 10 Va. Tax Rev. 861 (1991). Legatzke, supra at 862. In this example, the second citation refers the reader to page 862 in the journal in which the article by Legatzke appears. The use of supra should be done with care and only when the user fully understands its usage as it could be very confusing to readers if not used appropriately.-- Wikipedia Legal Definition A Latin term meaning "above".

Elton John: 10 of the best \| Music \| The Guardian 10 of the best Elton John: 10 of the best From the gentle whimsy of Your Song to the R&B of Bennie and the Jets, Elton John was at his world-conquering best in the 1970s and 80s Eye catching … Elton John in the 1970s. Photograph: BBC/Redferns Wednesday 25 May 2016 07.17 EDT Last modified on Wednesday 25 May 2016 13.50 EDT 1. Your Song Sir Elton Hercules John might be considered a balladeer, but in 1970 there was surprise at his label, DJM, that his breakthrough song was a slow, whimsical serenade. Those who’d followed his fledgling career perceived the Elton John Band to be a rocking affair, incorporating gospel, honky-tonk and elements of psychedelic folk. In the US, the pretty Your Song, with a naively romantic lyric by Bernie Taupin, was the B-side to the more uptempo Take Me to the Pilot, but it was promoted to the lead track after radio stations persisted in plugging it. It made the Top 10 on both sides of the Atlantic, and was the beginning of a run of bestselling singles and superstardom (especially Stateside) that would make John the biggest pop star on the planet for five years. He went on to sell more than 100m singles, but his first hit is still one of his defining moments, and its opening line – “It’s a little bit funny / This feeling inside” – remains instantly recognisable. 2. Rocket Man John’s 11th single, taken from the album Honky Château, is arguably his best-loved. The 1972 track didn’t quite make it to No 1 in the US – he’d have to wait until Crocodile Rock later that year for that – but it has endured as one of the key songs of the early 70s, thanks in part to its wonderful production. With Gus Dudgeon on board, it’s not hard to see where inspiration for the space epic might have come from. Dudgeon had produced Space Oddity by David Bowie in 1969. (Bowie’s regular producer Tony Visconti had refused to work on the track, calling it a “cheap shot”.) Dudgeon repeated the trick with John, imbuing a song about space travel with an otherworldly ambience. (There’s also a druggy subtext: lines include “And I’m gonna be high as a kite by then.”) Bowie and John might have seemed destined to become kindred spirits, but the former said they had little in common. In a Playboy interview, Bowie made some catty comments, referring to John as “the Liberace … the token queen of rock”, adding: “I’m responsible for a whole new school of pretension. They know who they are, don’t you, Elton?” John would bide his time before hitting back. 3. Bennie and the Jets As with Your Song, it was radio play that turned Bennie and the Jets into a smash hit – against John’s will (he thought the song was too strange to succeed). CKLW in Windsor, Ontario, aired it first, then Detroit radio stations and Top 40 stations across the US followed suit. Bennie (Benny on the single sleeve, Bennie on the album) was not only a No 1 in America, but it also became John’s first crossover hit, landing him on the R&B chart for the first time. An invitation to appear on Soul Train followed, and John became the first white British artist to be accepted on black radio a good year before Bowie and the Bee Gees. At this point in his career – the song came from the double album Goodbye Yellow Brick Road – John could do no wrong. Nor could his producer: Dudgeon bookended the track with whistles from a live concert and vocal loops to give it a vitality that still stands up. The slow staccato tension of the grand piano and Taupin’s bombastic lyric about a fictional glam-rock band combine to stunning effect on one of their most inspired collaborations. 4. Philadelphia Freedom John needed a suitable number to back his performance of Bennie and the Jets on Soul Train in 1975. He opted to perform a song he hadn’t yet released. Philadelphia Freedom was inspired – in name at least – by Billie Jean King’s Philadelphia Freedoms tennis team, even if the Bernie Taupin lyric had little to do with tennis and everything to do with emancipation; there’s also a line about flag waving, which tapped into the US bicentennial cel
Difference Between Blended Whiskey & Bourbon. Whiskey is an alcoholic spirit made from distilled grain or corn that have aged in oak barrels. There are multiple types of whiskey, including bourbon, a straight whiskey made primarily from corn, and blended whiskey, a mixture of straight whiskey and other neutral grain spirits. Blended whiskey is often regarded as being of lower quality than bourbon, although some drinkers find the flavors are similar.
Speak of the devil Deriving from the Middle Ages, this proverb (which was, and to a certain extent still is, rendered as "Talk of the Devil...") was a superstitious prohibition against speaking directly of the Devil or of evil in general, which was considered to incite that party to appear, generally with unfortunate consequences. Its first printed usage in modern English can be found in Giovanni Torriano's Piazza Universale (1666), as "The English say, Talk of the Devil, and he's presently at your elbow."

The doctrines of the Assumption or Dormition of Mary relate to her death and bodily assumption to Heaven. The Roman Catholic Church has dogmaically defined the doctrine of the Assumption, which was done in 1950 by Pope Pius XII in Munificentissimus Deus. Whether the Virgin Mary died or not is not defined dogmatically, however, although a reference to the death of Mary are made in Munificentissimus Deus. In the Eastern Orthodox Church, the Assumption of the Virgin Mary is believed, and celebrated with her Dormition, where they believe she died.

Gambling in New Jersey In 1974, New Jersey voters voted against legalizing casino gambling statewide, but two years later approved a new referendum which legalized casinos, but restricted them to Atlantic City.[10][11] At that time, Nevada was the only state with legal casino gambling. Resorts Atlantic City was the first casino to open in 1978.[12] As part of the state's budget showdown in 2006, gambling in Atlantic City's casinos and at racetracks in the state were forced to close after it was determined that the official monitors from the New Jersey Casino Control Commission were essential and New Jersey law stated that gambling establishments could not legally operate without state oversight. The closures cost the state an estimated $1.3 million in casino revenues in addition to the loss of state taxes collected on casino employee wages.[13]

According to Vitruvius, the architect should strive to fulfill each of these three attributes as well as possible. Leon Battista Alberti, who elaborates on the ideas of Vitruvius in his treatise, De Re Aedificatoria, saw beauty primarily as a matter of proportion, although ornament also played a part. For Alberti, the rules of proportion were those that governed the idealised human figure, the Golden mean. The most important aspect of beauty was therefore an inherent part of an object, rather than something applied superficially; and was based on universal, recognisable truths. The notion of style in the arts was not developed until the 16th century, with the writing of Vasari: by the 18th century, his Lives of the Most Excellent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects had been translated into Italian, French, Spanish and English.
River Nene - Major Rivers Of The British Isles Major Rivers Of The British Isles Image courtesy of Richard Dear, wikimedia commons The River Nene is an important drainage river situated in eastern England. The river is the country's tenth longest river at ninety one miles long with a catchment area of six hundred and thirty one square miles. The river is also unique for having three sources. The river starts life at three locations in the county of Northamptonshire, at Arbury Hill to the west where this stream is known as the Daventry Nene and at Naseby and Yelvertoft to the north where these two streams are known as the Brampton Nene and the Yelvertoft Nene. These three streams converge at Northampton Lock on the junction of the Grand Union Canal. From Northampton the river meanders in an easterly direction through the flat, wide Nene Valley, passing the towns of Great Gidding, Earl's Barton, Wellingborough, Thrapston, Oundle, the City of Peterborough, March, Guyhirn, Wisbech, Sutton Bridge, Tydd Gote and Gedney Drove End, before eventually draining into England's largest bay, The Wash, situated on the coasts of Lincolnshire and Norfolk, which the Nene also shares with it's tributaries the Rivers Welland and Witham and the Rivet Great Ouse. The river flows through miles of open, flat countryside where it passes under the Grand Union Canal, the West Coast Railway Line and part of the M1 Motorway as it makes it’s way past the nineteenth century, Kislingbury Watermill just outside Northampton, the one hundred and ten mile long, Nene Way, long distance footpath, the seven point five mile long, Nene Valley Railway at Peterborough, the one hundred and eighty acre, Titchmarsh Nature Reserve at Thrapston, the thirty seven acre, Barnwell Country Park at Oundle, Oundle Marina, the Bronze Age Archeological Park at Flag Fen near Whittlesey and the River Nene Washes, a three thousand, seven hundred acre Ramsar Wetland and Special Protected Area (SPA) situated east of the City of Peterborough. The river has several tributaries the largest of which are the sixty five mile long, River Welland and the eighty two mile long River Witham. The river also links the Grand Union Canal with the River Great Ouse at Salter’s Lode at Middle Level, a two hundred and seventy square mile, low lying fenland drainage system which is located at or slightly below sea level and is criss-crossed with a multitude of drains and dykes. The river is navigable for eighty eight miles, from Northampton through to the Wash, where it is served by seven sluices and thirty seven locks. The river is also served by four railway viaducts located at Irthlingborough, Thrapston, Wansford and Wellingborough and several road and pedestrian bridges. There is an interesting old stone bridge located in the Northamptonshire town of Oundle, a brick built bridge in the Northamptonshire town of Yarwell, a nine arch, stone bridge located in the village of Islip in Northamptonshire, pictured above, a Grade II Listed, single span, iron bridge located in Wisbech in Norfolk which was opened in 1857 and the City of Peterborough’s London Road Bridge, a three arch, concrete road bridge which was opened in 1934, located in the county of Cambridgeshire. There are two lighthouses on the river situated at Guy's Head, Long Sutton which were never built as functioning lighthouses. They are known as the East Lighthouse, located on the east bank of the River Nene and the West Lighthouse situated on the west bank of the River Nene, which were built solely to mark the entrance to the small channel which is situated there. The river, which was for many years an important transportation route from the North Sea through to the cathedral City of Peterborough, the medieval market town of Wellingborough and the historic county town of Northampton, is better known today for providing leisure pursuits such as boating and angling, where the river is renowned for it’s many varieties of coarse fish.

. When you are looking for a new job, one of the first items you check is how much you will get paid. You may not consider how often your paycheck will come, but it is an extremely important aspect of budgeting and job transition. In most places, state law dictates how often you must be paid at a minimum, but companies are able to pay more frequently if they would like. So, what are the most common types of pay schedules and what do they mean? Read more to find out. Biweekly Biweekly is the other most common pay schedule. When employees are paid biweekly, they are paid every other week, usually on a Friday. This means there are usually 26 pay periods in a year, but sometimes 27 depending on how many Fridays there are that year. This also means that there are some months that employees are paid 3 times per month. Hourly employees like being paid biweekly, because it allows them to accurately calculate overtime each week. Semi-monthly Semi-monthly is one of the most common pay schedules. Employees are paid two times per month, or 24 times per year, usually on either the 1st and the 15th of every month, or the 15th and the last day of the month. This method is usually preferred by accountants over the biweekly schedule because it makes monthly voluntary deductions easier. Semi-monthly pay periods for hourly employees can get tricky because there are 86.67 hours in a typical pay period, making overtime complicated. Monthly If you are paid on a monthly basis, you are paid once a month. Your pay date is usually at the end of the month, and you are paid 12 times per year. This pay structure is usually the least preferred among hourly employees. However, it is the least-costly option for businesses, because usually businesses pay each time payroll is run. Weekly Weekly payroll is most popular in trade fields, like electricians, auto repair technicians, plumbers, etc. This allows employees to be paid on exactly how many hours they worked per week, as it usually varies. This option is the least attractive to employers, because payroll usually costs money each time it is run. It also can complicate things like payroll accruals and overtime.

Ancient Greek Philosophers \| World History Charts Ancient Greek Philosophers From Thales to Socrates to Plotinus, here are the Greek philosophers whose teachings influence Western thought and tradition even to this day. THE PRE-SOCRATIC PHILOSOPHERS Milesian school (c.624-546 BCE) Thales is usually considered to be the first philosopher as well as ‘the father of science’ as he was the first to try to explain things in nature without relying on mythology. He was the first of three major figures in the Milesian school, all of whom felt that one single substance was the source of all things. According to Thales, that one subtance was water. Anaximander Milesian school (c.610-546 BCE) Anaximander was a student of Thales and the second major figure in the Milesian school. He believed that the single substance that was the source of all things was an endless, unlimited substance called apeiron. Anaximenes Milesian school (c.585-528 BCE) Anaximenes was a student of Anaximander and the third major figure in the Milesian school. He believed that air was the single substance that was the source of all things Pythagoras Pythagorianism (570-495 BCE) Although little is known of the historical figure, Pythagoras is considered to be the founder of the mystical/religious movement that bears his name. He made important contributions to the field of mathematics, the most famous of which is the Pythagorean theorem. He also believed in reincarnation. Parmenides Eleatic school (c. early 500’s BCE) The founder of the Eleatic school, Parmenides believed that all is one, that everything that exists has always existed, and that nothing ever really changes. He felt that this conclusion, based on reason alone, was correct and that our senses, which tell us otherwise, are ultimately unreliable. Heraclitus Ephesian school (c.535-475 BCE) Unlike Parmenides, Heraclitus believed that everything is in a constant state of change and that are sense are generally reliable. A melancholy and obscure man, he is often portrayed as the “weeping philosopher”. Zeno of Elea Eleatic school (c.490-430 BCE) A student of Parmenides, Zeno is most famous for his paradoxes, the most famous of which is known as Achilles and the tortoise. Empedocles Pluralist school (c.490-430 BCE) Empedocles introduced the concept of four fundamental elements (fire, air, earth & water), instead of just one — an idea that persisted until modern times. Anaxagoras Pluralist school (c.500-428 BCE) Anaxagoras, a member of the pluralist school, was the first to bring philosophy to Athens, where it later flourished in the hands of Socrates, Plato and Aristotle. Protagoras Sophist (c.490-420 BCE) Protagoras was one of the first sophists — ‘practical’ philosophers who taught the wealthy for money. He is most famous for his saying, “Man is the measure of all things“. Democritus Atomist school (c.460-370 BCE) Democritus, together with his teacher Leucippus, is usually credited with developing atomism — the idea that everything in nature is made up of indivisible elements called atoms. This theory reconciled Parmenides’ concept of nothing changing (because the atoms themselves don’t change) with Heraclitus’ idea of constant change (because it is the way in which the atoms are arranged that changes). He is often referred to as the laughing philosopher. THE THREE GREATEST GREEK PHILOSOPHERS Socrates Athens (c.469-399 BCE) Socrates is remembered more for how he taught than for what he taught. He liked to appear ignorant and ask a lot of questions, thus helping people to find answers on their own — a technique that became known as the Socratic Method. He is also remembered for his death. Accused of corrupting youth and disbelieving in the gods, he was sentenced to commit suicide by drinking poison. Socrates left behind no writings and everything we know about him is based on what Plato and his other students wrote. Cyrenaicism (c.435-356 BCE) Aristippus was the founder of Cyrenaicism, an ultra-hedonist philosophy that encouraged people to get as much pleasure as possible out of life. Diogenes Cynicism (c

Katie Glad to hear you been to docs an are on iron tablets have you had the blood test at 28 weeks yet to check ur iron?? (not sure when ur due) I'm feeling ok thanks..think as some people have said on here, that it could be PGP (pelvic girdle pain) which you can develop through pregnancy due to baby growing/gaining weight which adds extra pressure an softening of the ligaments in the pelvis Hopefully this is it an it soon goes or after she's born, I've found the aches are worse in bed an turning over which is a pain so not been sleeping as well lately.

The Vietnam War -LRB- Chiến tranh Việt Nam -RRB- , also known as the Second Indochina War , and known in Vietnam as Resistance War Against America -LRB- Kháng chiến chống Mỹ -RRB- or simply the American War , was a war that occurred in Vietnam , Laos , and Cambodia from 1 November 1955 to the fall of Saigon on 30 April 1975 . It was the second of the Indochina Wars and was officially fought between North Vietnam and the government of South Vietnam . The North Vietnamese army was supported by the Soviet Union , China and other communist allies and the South Vietnamese army was supported by the United States , South Korea , Australia , Thailand and other anti-communist allies . The war is therefore considered a Cold War-era proxy war . The Viet Cong -LRB- also known as the National Liberation Front , or NLF -RRB- , a South Vietnamese communist common front aided by the North , fought a guerrilla war against anti-communist forces in the region , while the People 's Army of Vietnam , also known as the North Vietnamese Army -LRB- NVA -RRB- , engaged in more conventional warfare , at times committing large units to battle . As the war continued , the military actions of the Viet Cong decreased as the role and engagement of the NVA grew . U.S. and South Vietnamese forces relied on air superiority and overwhelming firepower to conduct search and destroy operations , involving ground forces , artillery , and airstrikes . In the course of the war , the U.S. conducted a large-scale strategic bombing campaign against North Vietnam . The North Vietnamese government and the Viet Cong were fighting to reunify Vietnam . They viewed the conflict as a colonial war and a continuation of the First Indochina War against forces from France and later on the United States . The U.S. government viewed its involvement in the war as a way to prevent a communist takeover of South Vietnam . This was part of the domino theory of a wider containment policy , with the stated aim of stopping the spread of communism worldwide . Beginning in 1950 , American military advisors arrived in what was then French Indochina.The Military Assistance Advisory Group , Indochina -LRB- with an authorized strength of 128 men -RRB- was set up in September 1950 with a mission to oversee the use and distribution of US military equipment by the French and their allies . U.S. involvement escalated in the early 1960s , with troop levels tripling in 1961 and again in 1962 . U.S. involvement escalated further following the 1964 Gulf of Tonkin incident , in which a U.S. destroyer clashed with North Vietnamese fast attack craft , which was followed by the Gulf of Tonkin Resolution , which gave the U.S. president authorization to increase U.S. military presence . Regular U.S. combat units were deployed beginning in 1965 . Operations crossed international borders : bordering areas of Laos and Cambodia were heavily bombed by U.S. forces as American involvement in the war peaked in 1968 , the same year that the communist side launched the Tet Offensive . The Tet Offensive failed in its goal of overthrowing the South Vietnamese government , but became the turning point in the war , as it persuaded a large segment of the U.S. population that its government 's claims of progress toward winning the war were illusory despite many years of massive U.S. military aid to South Vietnam . Gradual withdrawal of U.S. ground forces began as part of `` Vietnamization '' , which aimed to end American involvement in the war while transferring the task of fighting the communists to the South Vietnamese themselves . Despite the Paris Peace Accord , which was signed by all parties in January 1973 , the fighting continued . In the U.S. and the Western world , a large anti-Vietnam War movement developed as part of a larger counterculture . The war changed the dynamics between the Eastern and Western Blocs , and altered North -- South relations . Direct U.S. military involvement ended on 15 August 1973 . The capture of Saigon by the North Vietnamese Army in April 1975 marked the end of the war , and North and South Vietnam were reunified the following year . The war exacted a huge human cost in terms of fatalities -LRB- see Vietnam War casualties -RRB- . Estimates of the number of Vietnamese soldiers and civilians killed vary from 966,000 to 3.8 million . Some 240,000 -- 300,000 Cambodians , 20,000 -- 62,000 Laotians , and 58,220 U.S. service members also died in the conflict , and a further 1,626 remain missing in action .

The Blackpool Mecca was a large entertainment venue on Central Drive in the seaside town of Blackpool, Lancashire, in North West England, first opened in 1965. In the 1970s, it was particularly known for The Highland Room, which was a major Northern Soul music venue. The building was closed down in 1980s and was finally demolished in January 2009 to make way for new campus buildings of Blackpool and The Fylde College. However, following an issue with funding B&FC withdrew and as of 2013 the site is planned for residential development.
Juvenile rheumatoid arthritis is treated with 0.125 mg/kg daily up to 7.5 mg per day. Meloxicam may be taken with or without food. DRUG INTERACTIONS: Meloxicam may increase the blood levels of lithium (Eskalith, Lithobid) by reducing the excretion of lithium by the kidneys. Increased levels of lithium may lead to lithium toxicity. Meloxicam may reduce the blood pressure-lowering effects of drugs given to reduce blood pressure. This may occur because prostaglandins play a role in the regulation of blood pressure.

By the 1500s, Ismail I from Ardabil, established the Safavid Dynasty, with Tabriz as the capital. Beginning with Azerbaijan, he subsequently extended his authority over all of the Iranian territories, and established an intermittent Iranian hegemony over the vast relative regions, reasserting the Iranian identity within large parts of the Greater Iran. Iran was predominantly Sunni, but Ismail instigated a forced conversion to the Shia branch of Islam, by which the Shia Islam spread throughout the Safavid territories in the Caucasus, Iran, Anatolia, and Mesopotamia. As a result, thereof, the modern-day Iran is the only official Shia nation of the world, with it holding an absolute majority in Iran and the Republic of Azerbaijan, having there the 1st and 2nd highest number of Shia inhabitants by population percentage in the world.
According to Presentism, time is an ordering of various realities. At a certain time some things exist and others do not. This is the only reality we can deal with and we cannot for example say that Homer exists because at the present time he does not. An Eternalist, on the other hand, holds that time is a dimension of reality on a par with the three spatial dimensions, and hence that all things—past, present, and future—can be said to be just as real as things in the present. According to this theory, then, Homer really does exist, though we must still use special language when talking about somebody who exists at a distant time—just as we would use special language when talking about something far away (the very words near, far, above, below, and such are directly comparable to phrases such as in the past, a minute ago, and so on).
Nintendo Co., Ltd. is a Japanese multinational consumer electronics and video game company headquartered in Kyoto. Nintendo is one of the world's largest video game companies by market capitalization, creating some of the best-known and top-selling video game franchises, such as "Mario", "The Legend of Zelda", and "Pokémon". Founded on 23 September 1889 by Fusajiro Yamauchi, it originally produced handmade hanafuda playing cards. By 1963, the company had tried several small niche businesses, such as cab services and love hotels. Abandoning previous ventures in favor of toys in the 1960s, Nintendo then developed into a video game company in the 1970s, ultimately becoming one of the most influential in the industry and Japan's third most-valuable company with a market value of over $85 billion. From 1992 until 2016, Nintendo was also the majority shareholder of Major League Baseball's Seattle Mariners.

He is a bodyguard and an international criminal who is infamous for being an unforgiving cutthroat with a destructive and cruel nature. Roadhog uses his signature Chain Hook to pull his enemies close before shredding them with blasts from his Scrap Gun. He’s hardy enough to withstand tremendous damage, and can recover his health with a short breather . Contents [ show]Bio Edit Roadhog is a ruthless killer with a well-earned reputation for cruelty and wanton destruction. After the Omnic Crisis, government officials gifted the Australian omnium and the surrounding area to the omnics that had nearly destroyed their country, hoping to establish a long-term peace accord. This arrangement permanently displaced Mako Rutledge and a large number of the Outback 's residents, a scattered collection of survivalists, solar farmers, and people who just wanted to be left alone. Furious over the loss of their homes, Mako and the others turned to violent rebellion. They formed the Australian Liberation Front and struck against the omnium and its robot population to take back the lands that had been stolen. Events continued to escalate until the rebels sabotaged the omnium's fusion core, resulting in an explosion that destroyed the facility, irradiated the region, and littered the Outback with twisted metal and wreckage for kilometers around. Mako watched as his home became an apocalyptic wasteland, and he was forever changed. Adapting to his environment, he donned a mask and took to the broken highways of the Outback on his ramshackle chopper. Little by little, his humanity was forgotten. The last vestiges of Mako faded away and the ruthless killer Roadhog was born.

Reward: Cute Spray Story Edit Roadhog in Going Legit Mako Rutledge was one of the residents of the Outback when its omnium and the surrounding area was gifted to the omnics. He and other Outback residents were displaced, and formed the Australian Liberation Front to take back the land. The rebels fought the omnics until they sparked an explosion that irradiated the outback. Mako adapted to the new environment by donning a mask and riding the broken highways on his chopper. He became an enforcer, and was eventually hired by Junkrat as a personal bodyguard in exchange for half of Junkrat's profits. Together, the two went on a crime spree around the world. Junkrat and Roadhog have stolen royal artifacts from King's Row, destroyed shops and trucks in Paris, robbed the arcade in Hanamura, and stolen most of the Bank of Dorado 's gold in their crime spree. Later, Junkrat and Roadhog made a deal with the CEO of Hyde Global in Sydney to rescue its workers from omnic terrorists. They found out that the 'terrorists' were actually Hyde Global drones, and that the CEO had set them up, so they hung him from the top story of his skyscraper before blowing it up. [1]Around Christmas time, Roadhog was seen escaping from another escapade with Junkrat in Luna Park, Australia. [2]Personality Edit Roadhog remains silent at most if not all the time, possibly due to his mask muffling his voice and the fact that he prefers not to speak and instead get things done. As his biography states, he is callous and sociopathic, showing no remorse to his victims and often laughing while on the battlefield. In spite of his ruthless demeanor, Roadhog possesses traits that contradicts to his behavior. He is quite observant, and possesses a logical mind. He also seems to care about his partner Junkrat, and often tries to either protect him from trouble or prevent him from causing too much trouble. This may mostly be due to splitting the spoils of their crime spree, as most of Roadhog's dialogue towards Junkrat is some variation of telling him to shut up. However, he usually agrees and follows Junkrat with his plan and antics, without many complaints. Roadhog also seems to like stuffed animals and ice cream, as conveyed in the A Moment in Crime Special Report where he steals pachimaris from an arcade and sabotages an ice cream truck. Merchandise Edit Roadhog Chains Spray Tee Roadhog Mask Spray Tee Roadhog Oinked Spray Tee Tips Edit For more detailed tips as well as hero matchups, see Roadhog/Strategy. Roadhog is a very sturdy tank that can take heavy damage and heal himself; however, his ability to reduce damage with Take a Breather is often underused. Roadhog is a powerful character, but is less team-focused than the other tanks. While Roadhog taking damage and healing may protect his team, the enemy can use it to feed ultimate charge. Hits on Roadhog build Ultimate charge, but hits on shields do not. As such, Roadhog may be better played aggressively than as a protecting tank. Scrap Gun The Scrap Gun's secondary fire will only do 50 damage at close range, but it is recommended to use it anywhere outside of close range, as that's where it will detonate and deal as much damage as the primary fire. With enough practice, the player will know the distance that is considered to be the shrapnel ball's "sweet spot"Holding down primary fire after hooking somebody will fire Roadhog's Scrap Gun the next moment possible to benefit the most from the stun. In particular, Tracer 's Recall and Mc Cree 's Flashbang - plus any close range character such as Reaper - can ruin Roadhog's day if fired too late. Headshots deal dramatically higher damage, which is an excellent pair with his shotgun spread. Keep this in mind when firing. The best time to fire is right when the enemy is closest, for about a split second. His Hook/Scrap Gun combo deals devastating damage if timed right. Also, the aiming is important. Aim partially at the head, but also make sure you shoot the body. This way, enough pellets will hit the head causing fatal damage but the body, which is bigger than the head, will catch the remaining scrap bits. 90% of the time, this deals close to or over 300 damage if used on tanks correctly, and automatically eliminates any heroes with 200 or less HP. Quick Melee will significantly delay the next shot from the Scrap Gun if used after firing it. To maximize damage, Roadhog can use primary fire and then instantly hook a target, and then follow up with primary fire. This allows extra damage to be dealt, which can be useful against enemy tanks, as double damage can be dealt (in comparison to simply hooking and shooting). Roadhog's Scrap Gun has a slow fire-rate, so in close combat, it is best to track the target before firing rather than shooting blindly and hoping for the best. Chain Hook Chain Hook interrupts the attacks of enemies and holds them in once place for a brief moment. Bastion will be forced into recon mode if hooked, making Roadhog a powerful counter. It will not, however, force Bastion into recon if in Tank mode. After hooking someone, Roadhog can shoot the snared enemy with Scrap Gun's primary fire, then use Quick Melee on targets which survive the initial shot to ensure their death. This is best used against non-tanks. If Roadhog hooks someone while standing right in front of a bottomless pit (i.e., the Well in Ilios ), they will fall to their death, provided they don't have a movement ability to prevent that. In addition, Roadhog will gain ultimate charge from the kill unless somebody else steals a final blow before they die. Roadhog can hook Junkrat's RIP-Tire and D. Va 's mech while it is self-destructing, with obvious and unpleasant consequences, although it may occasionally be useful for Roadhog to sacrifice himself to protect a more vulnerable team member. If Roadhog hooks an enemy while falling off the map, the enemy is pulled with him, resulting in certain death - although Pharah, Tracer, and D. Va can escape. It is unlikely useful to deliberately jump off the map to do this, but it can serve as a useful revenge tactic, especially against Lucio . Roadhog's Chain Hook can be useful for stopping Ultimates, including that of Pharah and other Roadhogs. It can also interrupt the process of completing an Ultimate, such as interrupting Lucio's Sound Barrier by hooking him before he slams his Sonic Amplifier into the ground or a Reinhardt before he slams the ground with Earthshatter . To hit an enemy with Chain Hook, it is best to aim slightly ahead of where they are heading, as the hook has a travel speed. Additionally, if the enemy is falling to the ground, aim a bit below them, or if upwards, slightly higher. This all depends on how far the enemy is away, so precise estimation is important for this. Take A Breather Roadhog restores health for one second unless interrupted by a Flashbang or Sleep Dart, meaning taking damage will not stop the healing. However, this leaves you vulnerable to enemy fire, which the opponent can use to charge ultimates. If possible, it is best to use this ability when safe from fire. The rate at which Roadhog gains ultimate charge from this is identical to the rate at which he restores health. While taking damage can feed the enemy's ultimate charge, sometimes it is better to self-heal than to call for a healer. Roadhog takes 50% less damage during Take a Breather. If used at full health, Roadhog can tank massive amounts of damage, including many high-damage ultimates such as D. Va's Self Destruct. Whole Hog Roadhog's ultimate can deal extreme damage at point-blank range, but is also very hard to aim due to the spread. It is also greatly affected by range and recoil, dealing significantly less damage if shot from far away. It is best to use at mid-range on a group of enemies to knock them back. On top of that, Roadhog's movement speed is significantly reduced, making an easy target for snipers. To get the best effect with Whole Hog, try pairing it with Chain Hook, pulling an enemy in, than blasting them back, all the while dealing huge damage to the target. Additionally, to work with Zarya, wait for her to use Graviton Surge, then use Whole Hog to demolish the clump of enemies. Sometimes, if in the right place, Roadhog is able to knock back many enemies off a cliff, automatically killing them. Whole Hog is most effective on a group of enemies, in a confined space, like one of the many rooms in Hollywood. It can also still headshot, increasing damage. Whole Hog can be used to shut down another ultimate, like a Winston in Primal Rage or a Reinhardt about to use Earthshatter. Trivia Edit Roadhog was announced on September 22, 2015, alongside Junkrat. Before that, he was teased in two tweets from @Play Overwatch on Twitter. [3], as well as an in-universe video: A Moment in Crime Special Report: "The Junkers"Roadhog was seen on newspapers around multiple maps before he was revealed. He was also seen in concept art. Roadhog's original concept was as an irradiated mutant. Early concept art gave him an actual stitched-on pig's face rather than a mask. [4]If Junkrat and Roadhog's dance emotes are positioned and timed correctly, they will high-five each other during their dances and an audio cue will be heard when they do. To do so, they must face the same direction, and Roadhog must be on the right side of Junkrat. Both people must activate the dance at the exact same time. Roadhog does not talk much. He has only said a total of 4 words across all of his major lore appearances. 1 word in Junkertown: The Plan and 3 in Wasted Land . Cultural references Edit Given the shared history with fellow Australian Junkrat, Roadhog is likely a reference to the film franchise Mad Max . It is likely that Roadhog is of New Zealand Maori heritage due to his real name (Mako) and alternate skin titled "Toa", which is the Maori word for "Warrior". Various patterns such as Roadhog's blanket in Junkertown and 2017 Christmas 'Toast' teacup he holds hosts the Maori patterns called 'Koru' and 'Kowhaiwhai'. The quote "She'll Be Right" is a common saying in New Zealand slang and culture to mean "All is well" or "It will be okay". Another common saying in New Zealand is the term ' Wop-wops' where Roadhog references in a datamined quote here"Mako" is also the Maori word for "the shark" or "a shark tooth" which could explain Roadhog's shark-headed alternate skins. Mako is also a specific species of shark that has a very dark blue coloring, much like the "Mako" skin, and has a head much like the "helmet" on the "Mako" and "Sharkbait" skins. Roadhog's "Eyes" spray resembles the pigs from the Angry Birds franchise. When Roadhog pulls in an enemy with Chain Hook, he will sometimes yell out, "Come here!" which is a reference to the Mortal Kombat character, Scorpion. Scorpion is a character who possess a chain blade, and he uses it to pull an enemy from across the stage while yelling "Get over here! "His quote "Everyone has a plan until they get punched in the mouth" is a quote from the famous boxer Mike Tyson. He had a quote that was "Thanks for noticing me", this is a reference to Eeyore from Winnie the Pooh. He had a line where he rapped "So much trouble going on, in the LBC. It's kinda hard being road H-O single G". This is a reference to Snoop Dogg's "Gin and Juice". This was presumably removed because of copyright. Both Roadhog and Junkrat make a cameo appearance in the Rick and Morty comic series. In issue 18 they can be seen eating together in the background of a restaurant. Patch changes Edit For changes made to Roadhog's abilities, see Scrap Gun, Chain Hook, Take A Breather, and Whole Hog. June 20, 2017 Patch: Head hitbox size reduced by 20%October 19, 2016 Patch: Increased the volume of Roadhog's "Want some candy" voice line. July 19, 2016 Patch: Ultimate cost increased by 45%. Self-healing abilities now charge ultimate abilities. April 5, 2016 (beta) Patch: Added “Islander” and “Sharkbait” Roadhog Legendary skins.

Executive director From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with the United States and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. (June 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)An executive director is a chief executive officer (CEO) or managing director of an organization, company, or corporation. The title is widely used in North American non-profit organizations, though many United States nonprofits have adopted the title president or CEO. [1]Confusion can arise because the words executive and director occur both in this title and in titles of various members of some organizations' boards of directors. The precise meanings of these terms are discussed in the board of directors article. Role [ edit]The role of the executive director is to design, develop and implement strategic plans for the organization in a manner that is both cost and time-efficient. The executive director is also responsible for the day-to-day operation of the organization, which includes managing committees and staff as well as developing business plans in collaboration with the board. In essence, the board grants the executive director the authority to run the organization. [ citation needed] The executive director is accountable to the chairman of the board of directors and reports to the board on a regular basis – quarterly, semiannually, or annually. The board may offer suggestions and ideas about how to improve the organization, but the executive director decides whether or not, and how, to implement these ideas. The executive director is a leadership role for an organization and often fulfills a motivational role in addition to office-based work. Executive directors motivate and mentor members, volunteers, and staff, and may chair meetings. The executive director leads the organization and develops its organizational culture. [2]As the title suggests, the executive director needs to be informed of everything that goes on in the organization. [ citation needed] This includes staff, membership, budget, company assets, and all other company resources, to help make the best use of them and raise the organization's profitability and profile.

The Priory in History - Bolton Priory The Priory in History The Priory in History Black robed Augustinian canons In about 1120 a group of black-robed Augustinian canons and their Prior set up a small religious community in the nearby village of Embsay, two miles from Skipton. Some thirty five years later, in 1154 or 1155, they decided to move and make a fresh start in the more accessible and sheltered pastures by the village of Bolton. It was Lady Alice de Rumilly of Skipton Castle who gave them the land on which to build the Priory, ‘for’, as she put it, ‘the salvation of my soul and those of my predecessors and successors’. The Augustinian canons soon became accepted by the villagers and the people of the surrounding area. They not only lived together like monks but were also ordained priests, and so were very much involved in village life. They preached, taught, ran a hospital, sheltered travellers and ministered to the local community who came to worship in the Priory. However, their prime duty was a continuous round of prayer and worship, seven times a day, seven days a week, starting with Matins for which they left their beds at 2 a.m. Their priorities were summed up by their guidance ’Before all things, dearest brethren, let God be loved, then your neighbour, for these be the commandments that are chiefly given to us’. As the reputation of the community grew, it attracted donations from other wealthy patrons who asked the canons to pray for their own souls. This money was wisely invested in a number of farms, mills, lead mines and other enterprises, which in turn brought in extra income from tithes, rents, and the sale of produce. With some of the proceeds, the canons paid groups of travelling masons to extend their living quarters and to construct a great church, as impressive and beautiful as any being built in England at that time. The Priory’s walls still bear masons’ marks, these being the so-called ‘sign manual’ (or in modern language, the ‘signature’ or ‘logo’), of each particular craftsman. Henry VIII Over the centuries the Priory grew and prospered, despite occasional setbacks caused by raiding Scots, severe winters, agricultural disasters and the Black Death from to 1348 to 1350. Yet gradually, the developing commerce and markets of the local towns offered more and more employment to young men who might otherwise have taken vows and entered the religious life. As a result, and in common with most other monasteries, the numbers of canons dwindled, eventually being outnumbered by the lay brothers who were paid to do the manual and clerical work within the Priory and its outlying properties. Bolton Priory, with its great wealth but tiny religious community, was, like many similar monasteries and nunneries, increasingly the target of a monarchy whose finances were under great strain. Henry VIII’s desire for a divorce led to a political rift with the Papacy; the influx of New World gold and silver into Spanish and Portuguese coffers caused a global financial inflation that reduced the value of the deposits in England’s own Treasury; these two factors, plus the revolt against the Catholic Church led by Martin Luther on the Continent, led to Henry VIII’s 1539 Dissolution of the Monasteries. Their commercial assets were seized and sold in order to replenish the royal coffers; the furnishings and fittings from the monastery buildings were likewise disposed of. Even lead stripped from the monastic roofs was sold, which, with the help of the English weather, ultimately caused the buildings to disintegrate. This could have been the end of the story for Bolton Priory. Like most other English monasteries, it could have become one more of the many picturesque ruins that adorn our countryside. However, what saved the Priory was its status as an Augustinian institution. Because its canons were not merely monks but also priests, with pastoral responsibilities in the surrounding community, and because it was the only church in the area, the Priory was allowed to keep half of the church intact as the parish church for

They don't have big appetites either. If you really look forward to your meals, that could be a problem. Mermaids are a type of mammal - in the same category with dolphins and whales. They need to come up for air every so often. I'm wondering how you plan on morphing into a mermaid?

According to Sadat, it was only when the Israelis cut off the Egyptian garrison at Sharm el-Sheikh that Nasser became aware of the situation's gravity. After hearing of the attack, he rushed to army headquarters to inquire about the military situation. The simmering conflict between Nasser and Amer subsequently came to the fore, and officers present reported the pair burst into "a nonstop shouting match". The Supreme Executive Committee, set up by Nasser to oversee the conduct of the war, attributed the repeated Egyptian defeats to the Nasser–Amer rivalry and Amer's overall incompetence. According to Egyptian diplomat Ismail Fahmi, who became foreign minister during Sadat's presidency, the Israeli invasion and Egypt's consequent defeat was a result of Nasser's dismissal of all rational analysis of the situation and his undertaking of a series of irrational decisions.
As of 2010 the Catholic Church had the highest number of adherents as a single denomination in the Boston-Cambridge-Newton Metro area, with more than two million members and 339 churches, followed by the Episcopal Church with 58,000 adherents in 160 churches. The United Church of Christ had 55,000 members and 213 churches. The UCC is the successor of the city's Puritan religious traditions. Old South Church in Boston is one of the oldest congregations in the United States. It was organized in 1669 by dissenters from the First Church in Boston (1630). Notable past members include Samuel Adams, William Dawes, Benjamin Franklin, Samuel Sewall, and Phillis Wheatley. In 1773, Adams gave the signals from the Old South Meeting House that started the Boston Tea Party.
Beyond this, BYU also runs a very large study abroad program, with satellite centers in London, Jerusalem, and Paris, as well as more than 20 other sites. Nearly 2,000 students take advantage of these programs yearly. In 2001, the Institute of International Education ranked BYU as the number one university in the U.S. to offer students study abroad opportunities. The BYU Jerusalem Center, which was closed in 2000 due to student security concerns related to the Second Intifada and, more recently, the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict, was reopened to students in the Winter 2007 semester.

Liberty Bell Charles dutifully ordered the bell from Thomas Lester of the London bellfounding firm of Lester and Pack (known subsequently as the Whitechapel Bell Foundry)[4] for the sum of £150 13s 8d,[5] (equivalent to £21,727.65 today)[6] including freight to Philadelphia and insurance. It arrived in Philadelphia in August 1752. Norris wrote to Charles that the bell was in good order, but they had not yet sounded it, as they were building a clock for the State House's tower.[7] The bell was mounted on a stand to test the sound, and at the first strike of the clapper, the bell's rim cracked. The episode would be used to good account in later stories of the bell;[8] in 1893, former President Benjamin Harrison, speaking as the bell passed through Indianapolis, stated, "This old bell was made in England, but it had to be re-cast in America before it was attuned to proclaim the right of self-government and the equal rights of men."[9] Philadelphia authorities tried to return it by ship, but the master of the vessel which had brought it was unable to take it on board.[10]
SparkNotes: Gulliver’s Travels: Character List Gulliver’s Travels Plot Overview Analysis of Major Characters Gulliver - The narrator and protagonist of the story. Although Lemuel Gulliver’s vivid and detailed style of narration makes it clear that he is intelligent and well educated, his perceptions are naïve and gullible. He has virtually no emotional life, or at least no awareness of it, and his comments are strictly factual. Indeed, sometimes his obsession with the facts of navigation, for example, becomes unbearable for us, as his fictional editor, Richard Sympson, makes clear when he explains having had to cut out nearly half of Gulliver’s verbiage. Gulliver never thinks that the absurdities he encounters are funny and never makes the satiric connections between the lands he visits and his own home. Gulliver’s naïveté makes the satire possible, as we pick up on things that Gulliver does not notice. Read an in-depth analysis of Gulliver. The emperor - The ruler of Lilliput. Like all Lilliputians, the emperor is fewer than six inches tall. His power and majesty impress Gulliver deeply, but to us he appears both laughable and sinister. Because of his tiny size, his belief that he can control Gulliver seems silly, but his willingness to execute his subjects for minor reasons of politics or honor gives him a frightening aspect. He is proud of possessing the tallest trees and biggest palace in the kingdom, but he is also quite hospitable, spending a fortune on his captive’s food. The emperor is both a satire of the autocratic ruler and a strangely serious portrait of political power. The farmer - Gulliver’s first master in Brobdingnag. The farmer speaks to Gulliver, showing that he is willing to believe that the relatively tiny Gulliver may be as rational as he himself is, and treats him with gentleness. However, the farmer puts Gulliver on display around Brobdingnag, which clearly shows that he would rather profit from his discovery than converse with him as an equal. His exploitation of Gulliver as a laborer, which nearly starves Gulliver to death, seems less cruel than simpleminded. Generally, the farmer represents the average Brobdingnagian of no great gifts or intelligence, wielding an extraordinary power over Gulliver simply by virtue of his immense size. Glumdalclitch - The farmer’s nine-year-old daughter, who is forty feet tall. Glumdalclitch becomes Gulliver’s friend and nursemaid, hanging him to sleep safely in her closet at night and teaching him the Brobdingnagian language by day. She is skilled at sewing and makes Gulliver several sets of new clothes, taking delight in dressing him. When the queen discovers that no one at court is suited to care for Gulliver, she invites Glumdalclitch to live at court as his sole babysitter, a function she performs with great seriousness and attentiveness. To Glumdalclitch, Gulliver is basically a living doll, symbolizing the general status Gulliver has in Brobdingnag. The queen - The queen of Brobdingnag, who is so delighted by Gulliver’s beauty and charms that she agrees to buy him from the farmer for 1,000 pieces of gold. Gulliver appreciates her kindness after the hardships he suffers at the farmer’s and shows his usual fawning love for royalty by kissing the tip of her little finger when presented before her. She possesses, in Gulliver’s words, “infinite” wit and humor, though this description may entail a bit of Gulliver’s characteristic flattery of superiors. The queen seems genuinely considerate, asking Gulliver whether he would consent to live at court instead of simply taking him in as a pet and inquiring into the reasons for his cold good-byes with the farmer. She is by no means a hero, but simply a pleasant, powerful person. The king - The king of Brobdingnag, who, in contrast to the emperor of Lilliput, seems to be a true intellectual, well versed in political science among other disciplines. While his wife has an intimate, friendly relationship with the diminutive visitor, the king’s relation to Gulliver is limited to serious discussions about the history

Make It an Orderly Conversation: Challenging Preconceptions about Everyday Business Presentations Dale Ludwig and Greg Owen-Boger Make It an Orderly Conversation: Challenging Preconceptions about Everyday Business Presentations Tuesday, September 16th, 11am PT / 2pm ETEffective presenters keep audience members focused and engaged while managing the give and take of an interactive process. Many of the assumptions and techniques found in traditional presentation skills training, however, undermine the interaction and frustrate everyone. The problem is that presenters have been taught to approach their presentations as speeches to be performed. This “performance approach” assumes that perfection is possible and success lies in what the presenter does prior to delivery. For example, it encourages presenters to prepare to the point of scripting. It assumes that good delivery means following the rules. Most damaging of all, a performance approach places full faith in rehearsal to reduce nervousness. These assumptions need to be challenged and replaced. At their core, everyday business presentations are interactive, facilitated conversations. When presenters understand and accept the ramifications of this—that a genuine conversation must take place—their path to success is clear and less stressful. This session, co-presented by Dale Ludwig and Greg Owen-Boger, explores a new way to think about presenting. What this session will NOT do is (1) gloss over the hard questions, (2) assume that all presenters succeed along the same path or (3) offer the same old tips and tricks. What this session will do is help you:• Understand the unique challenges you face as a business presenter • Assess the strengths and weaknesses of your individual approach to presenting • Focus your improvement on skills that will help you engage listeners and manage your nervousness.

Pak Kil-yon Pak has been the ambassador to the United Nations for North Korea since 2001. During this time, he has called for the UN to prevent Japan from obtaining a permanent seat on the Security Council.[2] On May 13, 2005, he met with Joseph DeTrani, a special envoy for the United States, to discuss a North Korean return to the "six-party talks" on North Korean nuclear proliferation. This meeting was the first between US and North Korean officials in six months.
A team led by Enrico Fermi in 1934 observed that bombarding uranium with neutrons produces the emission of beta rays (electrons or positrons from the elements produced; see beta particle). The fission products were at first mistaken for new elements of atomic numbers 93 and 94, which the Dean of the Faculty of Rome, Orso Mario Corbino, christened ausonium and hesperium, respectively. The experiments leading to the discovery of uranium's ability to fission (break apart) into lighter elements and release binding energy were conducted by Otto Hahn and Fritz Strassmann in Hahn's laboratory in Berlin. Lise Meitner and her nephew, the physicist Otto Robert Frisch, published the physical explanation in February 1939 and named the process "nuclear fission". Soon after, Fermi hypothesized that the fission of uranium might release enough neutrons to sustain a fission reaction. Confirmation of this hypothesis came in 1939, and later work found that on average about 2.5 neutrons are released by each fission of the rare uranium isotope uranium-235. Further work found that the far more common uranium-238 isotope can be transmuted into plutonium, which, like uranium-235, is also fissile by thermal neutrons. These discoveries led numerous countries to begin working on the development of nuclear weapons and nuclear power.
âBlue Bloodsâ Cancelled After Season 7? Tom Selleck Reprises Role As Frank Reagan "Blue Bloods" Season 7 remains as one of the top performing shows on CBS but fans cannot help but worry about the series' future on air. While Tom Selleck recently signed a new deal with the network, will Season 7 be the last for the cop drama? "Blue Bloods" Season 7 has just begun production with the recent announcement of the return of Tom Selleck for the role of Police Commissioner Frank Reagan, reports Deadline. According to the publication, the show remains as one of the highest rated series on air despite the fact that it airs during Friday nights on CBS. The show received an average of 13.1 million viewers with a 1.8 rating in adults 18-49 in "Blue Bloods" Season 6. The publication notes that the show is also one of the most-watched scripted series after "Law & Order: SVU" from the same network. Despite the consistently good ratings for "Blue Bloods" throughout the seasons, Carter Matt notes on the possibility that Season 7 will be its last or close to the series finale. The publication stated that the ratings for the show experienced a slow decline throughout the season, but it remains as one of the most watched series on air. However, many fans can recall that shows do not get cancelled because of ratings alone. According to the publication, "Blue Bloods" Season 7 may be its last or close to the finale because the production for the series can get a bit too pricey. Tom Selleck is also one of the show's leading stars and it is very likely that the actor is being paid more than the rest of the other stars. Production for "Blue Bloods" Season 7 can get even more expensive as that is often the case with longtime running shows on TV. Do you think "Blue Bloods" Season 7 will be its last?

Portuguese Synonyms \| Collins English Thesaurus adjectivenoun language note: Several loan words came into English via Portuguese but had a different source language. For example, amok was a Malay word meaning 'frenzied' which was, in turn, adopted by Portuguese explorers to describe a Malay in a state of murderous frenzy. From Portuguese it was borrowed into English, and is almost always found in the phrase run amok, though go amok is also found. Run amok means to run about with a desire to do harm or kill, e.g. hooligans ran amok in the streets. It is similar in meaning to 'on the rampage' and 'go berserk'. Interestingly, berserk, from Icelandic, also originally denoted a person in a state of murderous rage, in this case Norse warriors who would go berserk on the battlefield. Run amok can also be used of abstract nouns, e.g. An example of political correctness run amok - where it means spreading wildly or out of control. Another word adopted from Portuguese is palaver, from palavra meaning 'talk'. This origin can still be seen in its meaning of talk or chatter which is loud or confused, e.g. all the media palaver about this issue. However, the most common meaning of palaver is 'fuss' or 'effort', especially of a time-consuming activity, e.g. the palaver of changing your mobile phone network. It is close in meaning to its synonym 'rigmarole' in this sense. Copyright © 2016 by HarperCollins Publishers. All rights reserved.

Paris is a city of books and bookstores. In the 1970s, 80 percent of French-language publishing houses were found in Paris, almost all on the Left Bank in the 5th, 6th and 7th arrondissements. Since that time, because of high prices, some publishers have moved out to the less expensive areas. It is also a city of small bookstores; There are about 150 bookstores in the 5th arrondissement alone, plus another 250 book stalls along the Seine. Small Paris bookstores are protected against competition from discount booksellers by French law; books, even e-books, cannot be discounted more than five percent below their publisher's cover price.
Double wishbone suspension The four-bar linkage mechanism formed by the unequal arm lengths causes a change in the camber of the vehicle as it rolls, which helps to keep the contact patch square on the ground, increasing the ultimate cornering capacity of the vehicle. It also reduces the wear of the outer edge of the tire.

Paris in its early history had only the Seine and Bièvre rivers for water. From 1809, the Canal de l'Ourcq provided Paris with water from less-polluted rivers to the north-east of the capital. From 1857, the civil engineer Eugène Belgrand, under Napoleon III, oversaw the construction of a series of new aqueducts that brought water from locations all around the city to several reservoirs built atop the Capital's highest points of elevation. From then on, the new reservoir system became Paris' principal source of drinking water, and the remains of the old system, pumped into lower levels of the same reservoirs, were from then on used for the cleaning of Paris' streets. This system is still a major part of Paris' modern water-supply network. Today Paris has more than 2,400 km (1,491 mi) of underground passageways dedicated to the evacuation of Paris' liquid wastes.

Sir Charles Spencer `` Charlie '' Chaplin , -LRB- 16 April 1889 -- 25 December 1977 -RRB- was an English comic actor , filmmaker , and composer who rose to fame during the era of silent film . Chaplin became a worldwide icon through his screen persona `` the Tramp '' and is considered one of the most important figures in the history of the film industry . His career spanned more than 75 years , from childhood in the Victorian era until a year before his death in 1977 , and encompassed both adulation and controversy . Chaplin 's childhood in London was one of poverty and hardship . As his father was absent and his mother struggled financially , he was sent to a workhouse twice before the age of nine . When he was 14 , his mother was committed to a mental asylum . Chaplin began performing at an early age , touring music halls and later working as a stage actor and comedian . At 19 , he was signed to the prestigious Fred Karno company , which took him to America . Chaplin was scouted for the film industry and began appearing in 1914 for Keystone Studios . He soon developed the Tramp persona and formed a large fan base . Chaplin directed his own films from an early stage and continued to hone his craft as he moved to the Essanay , Mutual , and First National corporations . By 1918 , he was one of the best-known figures in the world . In 1919 , Chaplin co-founded the distribution company United Artists , which gave him complete control over his films . His first feature-length was The Kid -LRB- 1921 -RRB- , followed by A Woman of Paris -LRB- 1923 -RRB- , The Gold Rush -LRB- 1925 -RRB- , and The Circus -LRB- 1928 -RRB- . He refused to move to sound films in the 1930s , instead producing City Lights -LRB- 1931 -RRB- and Modern Times -LRB- 1936 -RRB- without dialogue . Chaplin became increasingly political , and his next film , The Great Dictator -LRB- 1940 -RRB- , satirised Adolf Hitler . The 1940s were a decade marked with controversy for Chaplin , and his popularity declined rapidly . He was accused of communist sympathies , while his involvement in a paternity suit and marriages to much younger women caused scandal . An FBI investigation was opened , and Chaplin was forced to leave the United States and settle in Switzerland . He abandoned the Tramp in his later films , which include Monsieur Verdoux -LRB- 1947 -RRB- , Limelight -LRB- 1952 -RRB- , A King in New York -LRB- 1957 -RRB- , and A Countess from Hong Kong -LRB- 1967 -RRB- . Chaplin wrote , directed , produced , edited , starred in , and composed the music for most of his films . He was a perfectionist , and his financial independence enabled him to spend years on the development and production of a picture . His films are characterised by slapstick combined with pathos , typified in the Tramp 's struggles against adversity . Many contain social and political themes , as well as autobiographical elements . In 1972 , as part of a renewed appreciation for his work , Chaplin received an Honorary Academy Award for `` the incalculable effect he has had in making motion pictures the art form of this century '' . He continues to be held in high regard , with The Gold Rush , City Lights , Modern Times , and The Great Dictator often ranked on industry lists of the greatest films of all time .
â¢ High-Calcium Limestone: â¢ Magnesian Limestone: Lastly, some dolomites contain an excess of magnesium (Mg) and are called magnesian dolomite or high-magnesium dolomite. The excess magnesium is probably in the form of magnesium carbonate minerals, of which magnesite (MgCO3) is a possible candidate. It is used as a soil conditioner to neutralize acidity and to add calcium and magnesium nutrients. 2 Quicklime is calcium oxide (formula CaO) that is produced by calcining (burning) high-calcium limestone in a lime kiln to drive out the carbon in the form of carbon dioxide gas (formula CO2).
Alexander Hamilton -LRB- January 11 , 1755 or 1757July 12 , 1804 -RRB- was an American statesman and one of the Founding Fathers of the United States . He was an influential interpreter and promoter of the U.S. Constitution , as well as the founder of the nation 's financial system , the Federalist Party , the United States Coast Guard , and The New York Post newspaper . As the first Secretary of the Treasury , Hamilton was the main author of the economic policies of the George Washington administration . He took the lead in the funding of the states ' debts by the Federal government , as well as the establishment of a national bank , a system of tariffs , and friendly trade relations with Britain . His vision included a strong central government led by a vigorous executive branch , a strong commercial economy , with a national bank and support for manufacturing , plus a strong military . This was challenged by Virginia agrarians Thomas Jefferson and James Madison who formed a rival party . They favored strong states based in rural America and protected by state militias as opposed to a strong national army and navy . They denounced Hamilton as too friendly toward Britain and toward monarchy in general , and too oriented toward cities , business and banking . Hamilton was born out of wedlock in Charlestown , Nevis to a married mother of English and French Huguenot ancestry and a Scottish father . His father , James A. Hamilton , was the fourth son of Alexander Hamilton , the laird of Grange , Ayrshire . Orphaned as a child by his mother 's death and his father 's abandonment , Hamilton was taken in by an older cousin and later by a prosperous merchant family . He was recognized for his intelligence and talent , and sponsored by a group of wealthy local men to travel to New York City to pursue his education . Hamilton attended King 's College -LRB- now Columbia University -RRB- , choosing to stay in the Thirteen Colonies to seek his fortune . Discontinuing his studies before graduating when the college closed its doors during British occupation of the city , Hamilton played a major role in the American Revolutionary War . At the start of the war in 1775 , he joined a militia company . In early 1776 , he raised a provincial artillery company , to which he was appointed captain . He soon became the senior aide to General Washington , the American forces ' commander-in-chief . Hamilton was dispatched by Washington on numerous missions to convey plans to his generals . After the war , Hamilton was elected as a representative to the Congress of the Confederation from New York . He resigned to practice law , and founded the Bank of New York . Hamilton was among those dissatisfied with the weak national government . He led the Annapolis Convention , which successfully influenced Congress to issue a call for the Philadelphia Convention in order to create a new constitution . He was an active participant at Philadelphia , and he helped achieve ratification by writing 51 of the 85 installments of The Federalist Papers which , to this day , are the single most important reference for Constitutional interpretation . Hamilton became the leading cabinet member in the new government under President Washington . He was a nationalist who emphasized strong central government and successfully argued that the implied powers of the Constitution provided the legal authority to fund the national debt , assume states ' debts , and create the government-backed Bank of the United States . These programs were funded primarily by a tariff on imports , and later also by a highly controversial tax on whiskey . To overcome localism , Hamilton mobilized a nationwide network of friends of the government , especially bankers and businessmen , which became the Federalist Party . A major issue in the emergence of the American two-party system was the Jay Treaty , largely designed by Hamilton in 1794 . It established friendly trade relations with Britain , to the chagrin of France and the supporters of the French Revolution . Hamilton played a central role in the Federalist party , which dominated national and state politics until it lost the election of 1800 to Jefferson 's Democratic-Republican Party . In 1795 , he returned to the practice of law in New York . He tried to control the policies of President Adams -LRB- 1797 -- 1801 -RRB- . In 1798 -- 99 , Hamilton called for mobilization against France after the XYZ Affair and became commander of a new army , which he readied for war . However , the Quasi-War was never officially declared and did not involve army action , though it was hard-fought at sea . In the end , President Adams found a diplomatic solution that avoided a war with France . Hamilton 's opposition to Adams ' re-election helped cause his defeat in the 1800 election . Jefferson and Aaron Burr tied for the presidency in the electoral college in 1801 , and Hamilton helped to defeat Burr , whom he found unprincipled , and to elect Jefferson despite philosophical differences . Hamilton continued his legal and business activities in New York City , and was active in ending the legality of the international slave trade . Vice President Burr ran for governor of New York State in 1804 , and Hamilton crusaded against him as unworthy . Burr took offense and challenged him to a duel . Burr mortally wounded Hamilton , who died the next day .
Extensive compressor reviews and FAQ. Active versus passive: what does it mean, and why choose one over the other?

Planned economy Planned economies are held in contrast with command economies, where a planned economy is "an economic system in which the government controls and regulates production, distribution, prices, etc."[11] but a command economy, while also having this type of regulation, necessarily has substantial public ownership of industry.[12] Therefore, command economies are planned economies, but not necessarily the reverse.
