Persistent heavy rain and landslides in Wenchuan County and the nearby area badly affected rescue efforts. At the start of rescue operations on May 12, 20 helicopters were deployed for the delivery of food, water, and emergency aid, and also the evacuation of the injured and reconnaissance of quake-stricken areas. By 17:37 CST on May 13, a total of over 15,600 troops and militia reservists from the Chengdu Military Region had joined the rescue force in the heavily affected areas. A commander reported from Yingxiu Town, Wenchuan, that around 3,000 survivors were found, while the status of the other inhabitants (around 9,000) remained unclear. The 1,300 rescuers reached the epicenter, and 300 pioneer troops reached the seat of Wenchuan at about 23:30 CST. By 12:17 CST, May 14, 2008, communication in the seat of Wenchuan was partly revived. On the afternoon of May 14, 15 Special Operations Troops, along with relief supplies and communications gear, parachuted into inaccessible Mao County, northeast of Wenchuan.

The big question first: How much money should we spend on wedding gifts? It definitely depends on how well you know the couple. If a member is in your immediate family, the trimmed mean 1 gift spending was $147, and if theyâre extended family, that drops to $71. If thereâs a close friend in the couple, the average spending was $82, and for someone you consider just a friend, the average amount given was an even $50.

nan Featured Articles Creep Feeding Beef Calves30 May 2010Creep feeding is a way to provide nursing calves with supplemental nutrients with the use of a gate that restricts the access of cows to the feeding area, says Eric Mousel, Extension range livestock specialist; Cody Wright, Extension beef specialist; Julie A. Walker, Extension beef specialist; Heather Gessner, Extension farm management educator. The type of creep feeds available vary from grain-based feeds that primarily supplement energy, to limit-fed high-protein feeds, to “green creeps,” which are high-quality pastures grown for the sole purpose of grazing by nursing calves. Creep feeding for the purpose of increasing weaning weight alone may not be profitable; therefore, the decision to creep feed calves should be based on the analysis of expected increases in performance and income compared to the cost of feed. Nutrient requirements The energy and protein requirements of nursing calves are poorly defined. Previous researchers have utilised creep feeding to help correct nutrient deficiencies in nursing calves. However, the first limiting nutrient is variable and likely depends on the forage species and timing within the grazing season. Calves that are less than 90 days of age receive the majority of their nutrient intake from milk. After 90 days, the calves consume an increasing proportion of their nutrient intake from forage. High-quality pasture is generally the most economical source of nutrients during this period; however, the increase in nutrient requirements for calves from spring-calving herds in the northern Great Plains comes at a time when the nutrient density of pastures is rapidly declining (Figure 1). When the amount of high-quality forage is limited or unavailable, supplemental creep feeding should be evaluated as an alternative to maintain calf performance. EFFICIENCY AND COST OF GAINFigure 1. Crude protein and total digestible nutrient content of forages in the northern Great Plains The most critical consideration for a creep feeding program is the cost of additional gain. The highest economic returns from creep feeding typically occur when: (1) forage is too mature for efficient utilisation, (2) forage quantity is limited due to drought or overgrazing, or (3) calves are nursing poor-milking cows or heifers. There are genetic limitations on the rate of gain calves can achieve; therefore, when milk and high-quality pasture are abundant, the cost of additional gain from creep feeding will likely be quite high. The type of creep feed greatly influences the conversion of feed to added gain. Research has shown that creep feed conversion can range from 4:1 to 18:1 pounds of feed to a pound of calf gain. However, feed conversions are typically around 4:1 for a limited protein-based feed and 8:1 for an energy-based feed. Table 1 shows the cost of gain at various feed costs and feed conversion rates. OTHER CONSIDERATIONSa Creep conversion = lb creep feed consumed/lb added body weight gain from creep feed b Cost of additional gain = $/lb creep feed consumed × (lb creep feed consumed/lb added gain from creep)In addition to improved feed efficiency, several factors should be considered when determining the economic efficiency and feasibility of creep feeding. Creep feeding will not only increase calf growth rate but also may provide a smoother transition from pasture to a grain-based diet. In most cases, younger calves will meet nutrient requirements by nursing to capacity before moving to other feeds. Therefore, pressure on lactating cows is not significantly reduced as a result of creep feeding, and little if any grass will be saved. However, as calves continue to mature, they will generally consume increasing amounts of forage, potentially as much as one per cent of their body weight (dry matter basis). Creep feeding, then, can lead to a substantial reduction in the amount of forage consumed by the calves. Starting calves on creep feed Occasionally, getting calves started on creep feed can be a challenge, especially when cows are milking well and pastures are in good condition. Typically, feeding cows small amounts of ground feed a few days prior to starting creep feeding will help calves learn to consume creep. Baiting cows to the creep area with feed also will help expose calves to creep feed. Including highly palatable feeds such as molasses, distillers grains, soybean hulls, or field peas in the creep feed will also help to attract calves to the feeder. Creep feeders should be placed in areas that cows visit regularly. These sites should be shaded and open to prevailing winds, have water or salt and mineral in close proximity, and the area should be large enough that whole herd can congregate. If the herd is in a relative large pasture, more than one creep site may be necessary. Post-weaning calf performance and carcass traits The impact of creep feeding on post-weaning calf performance likely depends on how the weaned calves are handled. Calves that will be roughed through the winter or run as stocker cattle may experience reduced performance if they are too fleshy at weaning time. Creep feeding is more advantageous for calves that will be fed out immediately after weaning. The creep feed will help familiarise the cattle with dry feeds, and research has shown that this results in greater feed intake and reduced stress during and after weaning. Creep feeding calves that will be sold at or shortly after weaning may be beneficial. However, care should be taken to avoid getting the calves too fleshy and exposing them to discounts at the market. The potential for increased marbling development as a result of creep feeding may also be beneficial. Marbling is now known to develop far earlier in life than previously thought. As such, calves nursing poor-milking cows or on pastures with limited forage quality or quantity may not be able to consume enough calories to support marbling development. Under these circumstances, creep feeding allows for calves to reach their genetic potential for marbling. Researchers have demonstrated this response in calves that have been fed creep feed for at least 80 days. However, in order to retain the increased marbling, calves should be placed on a grain based diet after weaning. Effect of creep feeding replacement heifers Creep feeding can negatively influence replacement heifer performance by depressing future milk production and lifetime productivity. Excessive nutrient supplementation can result in udder fat deposition during the prepubertal mammary growth phase, which starts as early as 3 months of age. Producers retaining replacements are forced to decide between potential advantages in greater weaning weights from creep feeding or optimising future milk production. Sorting replacements prior to weaning is a potential option, but this practice requires selection early in development. Choosing high-protein feeds may prevent the negative effects of creep feeding on future milk production; however, unless the objective is to increase weights or body condition for a sale, creep feeding is generally unnecessary for replacement heifers. Research has indicated that heifers should reach 65 per cent of their mature weight by the beginning of the breeding season. Under most circumstances, it is quite easy to achieve the necessary gain without the use of creep feed. Using salt as a creep-feed limiter Creep feed consumption can be limited by using salt in the creep diet at a rate of 3 to 10 per cent. Limiting creep feed intake during the last 60 to 90 days prior to weaning may have a couple of advantages:a moderate increase in weaning weight without excessive “fleshiness”improved feed conversion compared to unlimited access to feed Starting with about three per cent salt in the ration and making adjustments to no more than 10 per cent of the diet until individual intake is around 1.5 to 3.0 lbs of feed per day is recommended. When using salt as a limiter in homemade creep feeds, meal forms probably work better than pellets, because it is easier to adjust the salt levels to maintain daily intake. One caution when using salt as an intake limiter is that it can cause additional corrosion to metal creep feeders. Common creep-feed rations for beef calves Many different feed ingredients can be utilised in creep feeds. Grains utilised in creep feeds should be coarsely processed for optimum utilisation by calves. However, if the price of the grains is low, the added efficiency may not be enough to cover the expense of processing the grain. Feeding whole grain may result in the lowest cost of gain. Exceptions would be barley and grain sorghum. The seed coats of these feeds are hard enough that feeding them in an unprocessed form substantially reduces their utilisation. When processing your own feedstuffs for a creep feed, be aware that excessive processing or grinding feedstuffs too fine can increase the risk for digestive disturbances. Adding viscous compounds such as molasses or sunflower oil can reduce dust problems and improve palatability. Creep rations do not have to be complex; however, in some situations you may find that purchasing higher-quality (and priced) commercial feeds may be a better alternative for your situation. When formulating creep diets, it is important to carefully consider the particle size and density of feed ingredients (both processed and unprocessed). Feeds that are dramatically different in these respects are likely to flow out of the feeder at different rates and are more subject to sorting by the calves. Examples of creep feed rations using common ingredients are shown in table 2. Calculating creep-feeding returns Although creep feeding can significantly increase weaning weight, costs associated with creep feeding can result in minimal economic benefit. Therefore, when evaluating the financial benefit of creep feeding, it is important to understand the relationship between the cost of the creep feed consumed and the value of the additional weight gained. Table 3 shows an example budget for calculating returns per head for creep feeding. A worksheet is provided below table 3 for you to use to evaluate the returns from creep feeding in your situation.

David Robert Jones -LRB- 8 January 1947 -- 10 January 2016 -RRB- , known professionally as David Bowie -LRB- -LSB- ˈboʊi -RSB- -RRB- , was an English singer , songwriter and actor . He was a figure in popular music for over five decades , becoming acclaimed by critics and other musicians for his innovative work . His career was marked by reinvention and visual presentation , his music and stagecraft significantly influencing popular music . During his lifetime , his record sales , estimated at 140 million worldwide , made him one of the world 's best-selling music artists . In the UK , he was awarded nine platinum album certifications , eleven gold and eight silver , releasing eleven number-one albums . In the US , he received five platinum and seven gold certifications . He was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1996 . Born in Brixton , South London , Bowie developed an interest in music as a child , eventually studying art , music and design before embarking on a professional career as a musician in 1963 . `` Space Oddity '' became his first top-five entry on the UK Singles Chart after its release in July 1969 . After a period of experimentation , he re-emerged in 1972 during the glam rock era with his flamboyant and androgynous alter ego Ziggy Stardust . The character was spearheaded by the success of his single `` Starman '' and album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars , which won him widespread popularity . In 1975 , Bowie 's style shifted radically towards a sound he characterised as `` plastic soul '' , initially alienating many of his UK devotees but garnering him his first major US crossover success with the number-one single `` Fame '' and the album Young Americans . In 1976 , Bowie starred in the cult film The Man Who Fell to Earth and released Station to Station . The following year , he further confounded musical expectations with the electronic-inflected album Low -LRB- 1977 -RRB- , the first of three collaborations with Brian Eno that would come to be known as the `` Berlin Trilogy '' . `` Heroes '' -LRB- 1977 -RRB- and Lodger -LRB- 1979 -RRB- followed ; each album reached the UK top five and received lasting critical praise . After uneven commercial success in the late 1970s , Bowie had UK number ones with the 1980 single `` Ashes to Ashes '' , its parent album Scary Monsters and Super Creeps , and `` Under Pressure '' , a 1981 collaboration with Queen . He then reached his commercial peak in 1983 with Let 's Dance , with its title track topping both UK and US charts . Throughout the 1990s and 2000s , Bowie continued to experiment with musical styles , including industrial and jungle . He also continued acting ; his roles included Major Celliers in Merry Christmas , Mr. Lawrence -LRB- 1983 -RRB- , the Goblin King Jareth in Labyrinth -LRB- 1986 -RRB- , Pontius Pilate in The Last Temptation of Christ -LRB- 1988 -RRB- , and Nikola Tesla in The Prestige -LRB- 2006 -RRB- , among other film and television appearances and cameos . He stopped concert touring after 2004 , and his last live performance was at a charity event in 2006 . In 2013 , Bowie returned from a decade-long recording hiatus with the release of The Next Day . He remained musically active until he died of liver cancer two days after the release of his final album , Blackstar -LRB- 2016 -RRB- .
The Algo Centre Mall (legally Eastwood Mall since 2005 but almost never referred to as such) was a mall and hotel located in the middle of Elliot Lake, Ontario's commercial district on Highway 108. It was the largest commercial complex in the area. When the community was hit by uranium mine closures in the 1990s, the complex gradually refocused, hosting multiple services, such as a library, constituency offices, and public health offices. In recent years, many businesses located in the mall either closed or moved to outside locations. Still, the mall was a community hub, with most of the area's clothing stores and its largest grocery store, employing upwards of 250 local residents. It accounted for 10% of community's retail space and 6% of the total wages.

What do truffles taste like (not the chocolate ones)? Food & Drink Other - Food & Drink What do truffles taste like (not the chocolate ones)? I always hear how wonderful they are and how expensive they are, but I have no idea what they taste like! Can anyone give me an idea? Is it like a mushroom, or meat, or sweet, or??? Follow 6 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: for that you need to actually taste a truffle. I suggest that you visit an upscale food store - if there's a Whole Foods convinient to you go there - and buy some "Truffle Oil" - this will be expensive but it keeps pretty well. Try the oil on a piece of baguette (the long crusty french bread loave). Try it in some recipes - I think you'll find that the flavor is very pleasant - but if it turns out you don't like it, you won't be out that much, and you'll know for sure. Here's a really good recipe that uses white truffle oil - Rosemary Seared Pork Tenderloin with Truffle Porcini Sauce What better testament to your devotion than this magnificent pork tenderloin, sliced into medallions and served with a savory sauce featuring porcini mushrooms and white truffle oil. Creamy risotto and braised bitter greens would be perfect complements to this culinary delight. Serves 6 18 pieces dried porcini mushrooms 1 1/2 cups hot water 1 tablespoon salted butter 3 pounds pork tenderloin 3 tablespoons dried rosemary salt, to taste pepper, to taste canola oil spray 4 teaspoons white truffle oil, divided 1 teaspoon flour 2 tablespoons olive oil 6 tablespoons shallots, small diced Preheat oven to 375°F. Pour the warm water over the porcini mushrooms to rehydrate. Let soak while you prepare the tenderloin. Place the butter in a small bowl and allow to soften. Season the tenderloin with dried rosemary and salt and pepper to taste. Lightly spray the tenderloin with a canola oil spray. Preheat an ovenproof sauté pan until you start to see wisps of smoke rising from the pan. Sear the tenderloin on both sides. Place the pan in the oven for approximately 10 to 15 minutes to finish cooking the tenderloin. Remove porcini from the water (reserve the water) and dice into small pieces. Add the flour and 1 teaspoon of the truffle oil to the softened butter and set aside. When tenderloin is finished, remove from pan and place on a plate to rest. In the same sauté pan over a medium to low flame, add the olive oil and 2 teaspoons of the truffle oil. Sauté the shallots for 2 to 3 minutes, until translucent. Add the porcini mushrooms and sauté an additional minute. Deglaze the pan by pouring in the reserved mushroom liquid. Bring to boil and then add the butter mixture to the pan. Whisk until the butter is well incorporated and the sauce begins to thicken. Pour any juices from the resting tenderloin into the pan along with the last teaspoon of truffle oil. Stir to combine. Slice the tenderloin into medallions and spoon the sauce over top. Serve immediately. I've tried this one myself, and was very, very impressed with dish.

The taste is usually described as "earthy" and even "meaty". White truffles have a subtler, slightly floral taste. Truffles are extremely expensive, and Brillat-Savarin points out that eating them in tiny quantities is pointless. In small quantities they add mushroominess to a dish, but you can do that a lot cheaper from actual mushrooms. "A saute of truffles is a dish the honors of which the mistress of the house reserves to herself; in fine, the truffle is the diamond of the kitchen," he said. I've had the preserved ones, and they're really not worth the trouble. Fresh ones are simply insanely expensive (on the order of $50 to $150 an ounce! ), and they're nice, but I can hardly imagine consuming $100 worth of them at a meal and not feel stupid about it. You can get a pretty good idea of what they taste like from truffle oil, sprinkled on eggs or potatoes. The real ones are rather nicer than that, but say twice as nice for 50 times as much. Then again, Mr. Brillat-Savarin begs to differ, "Let no one ever confess that he dined where truffles were not. However good any entree may be, it seems bad unless enriched by truffles." Mr. Brillat-Savarin apparently had a lot more money than I do. Chocolate truffles are called that because they resemble truffles: they're round and kind of dusty. What most people think of as "truffles" are really chocolate-coated truffles; the real truffle is the ganache filling.

Truffles are made from chocolate and cream so they will still taste like chocolate. There are also mushroom truffles that are SUPER expensive. Virginia · 2 years ago0 0 Comment I'd say if you've ever had a strong mushroom broth with a decent amount of flavour and salt in it, you've probably tasted something very similar to truffle.

(April 2017) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Diagram of a replicated and condensed metaphase eukaryotic chromosome. (1) Chromatid – one of the two identical parts of the chromosome after S phase. (2) Centromere – the point where the two chromatids touch. (3) Short (p) arm. (4) Long (q) arm. A chromosome (from ancient Greek: χρωμόσωμα, chromosoma, chroma means colour, soma means body) is a DNA molecule with part or all of the genetic material ( genome) of an organism. Most eukaryotic chromosomes include packaging proteins which, aided by chaperone proteins, bind to and condense the DNA molecule to prevent it from becoming an unmanageable tangle. [1] [2]Chromosomes are normally visible under a light microscope only when the cell is undergoing the metaphase of cell division (where all chromosomes are aligned in the center of the cell in their condensed form). [3] Before this happens, every chromosome is copied once ( S phase ), and the copy is joined to the original by a centromere, resulting either in an X-shaped structure (pictured to the right) if the centromere is located in the middle of the chromosome or a two-arm structure if the centromere is located near one of the ends. The original chromosome and the copy are now called sister chromatids. During metaphase the X-shape structure is called a metaphase chromosome. In this highly condensed form chromosomes are easiest to distinguish and study. [4] In animal cells, chromosomes reach their highest compaction level in anaphase during segregation. [5]Chromosomal recombination during meiosis and subsequent sexual reproduction play a significant role in genetic diversity. If these structures are manipulated incorrectly, through processes known as chromosomal instability and translocation, the cell may undergo mitotic catastrophe and die. Mutations in the cell can allow it to inappropriately evade apoptosis and lead to the progression of cancer. Some use the term chromosome in a wider sense, to refer to the individualized portions of chromatin in cells, either visible or not under light microscopy. Others use the concept in a narrower sense, to refer to the individualized portions of chromatin during cell division, visible under light microscopy due to high condensation.

[8] The term was coined by von Waldeyer-Hartz, [9] referring to the term chromatin, which was introduced by Walther Flemming. Emilio Battaglia (1917-2011) [10] [11] points out that over time many of the most familiar caryological terms have become inadequate or illogical or, in some cases, etymologically incorrect so that they should be replaced by more adequate alternatives suggested by the present scientific progress. The author has been particularly disappointed by the illogicality of the present chromosomal (chromatin-chromosome) terminology based on, or inferred by, two terms, Chromatin (Flemming 1880) and Chromosom (Waldeyer 1888), both inappropriately ascribed to a basically non coloured state. [12]History of discovery [ edit]Walter Sutton (left) and Theodor Boveri (right) independently developed the chromosome theory of inheritance in 1902. Schleiden, [4] Virchow and Bütschli were among the first scientists who recognized the structures now familiar as chromosomes. [13]In a series of experiments beginning in the mid-1880s, Theodor Boveri gave the definitive demonstration that chromosomes are the vectors of heredity. His two principles were the continuity of chromosomes and the individuality of chromosomes. [ citation needed] [ further explanation needed] It is the second of these principles that was so original. [ citation needed] Wilhelm Roux suggested that each chromosome carries a different genetic load. Boveri was able to test and confirm this hypothesis. Aided by the rediscovery at the start of the 1900s of Gregor Mendel 's earlier work, Boveri was able to point out the connection between the rules of inheritance and the behaviour of the chromosomes. Boveri influenced two generations of American cytologists: Edmund Beecher Wilson, Nettie Stevens, Walter Sutton and Theophilus Painter were all influenced by Boveri (Wilson, Stevens, and Painter actually worked with him). [14]In his famous textbook The Cell in Development and Heredity, Wilson linked together the independent work of Boveri and Sutton (both around 1902) by naming the chromosome theory of inheritance the Boveri–Sutton chromosome theory (the names are sometimes reversed). [15] Ernst Mayr remarks that the theory was hotly contested by some famous geneticists: William Bateson, Wilhelm Johannsen, Richard Goldschmidt and T. H. Morgan, all of a rather dogmatic turn of mind. Eventually, complete proof came from chromosome maps in Morgan's own lab. [16]The number of human chromosomes was published in 1923 by Theophilus Painter. By inspection through the microscope, he counted 24 pairs, which would mean 48 chromosomes. His error was copied by others and it was not until 1956 that the true number, 46, was determined by Indonesia-born cytogeneticist Joe Hin Tjio. [17]Prokaryotes [ edit]The prokaryotes – bacteria and archaea – typically have a single circular chromosome, but many variations exist. [18] The chromosomes of most bacteria, which some authors prefer to call genophores, can range in size from only 130,000 base pairs in the endosymbiotic bacteria Candidatus Hodgkinia cicadicola [19] and Candidatus Tremblaya princeps, [20] to more than 14,000,000 base pairs in the soil-dwelling bacterium Sorangium cellulosum. [21] Spirochaetes of the genus Borrelia are a notable exception to this arrangement, with bacteria such as Borrelia burgdorferi, the cause of Lyme disease, containing a single linear chromosome. [22]Structure in sequences [ edit]Prokaryotic chromosomes have less sequence-based structure than eukaryotes. Bacteria typically have a one-point (the origin of replication) from which replication starts, whereas some archaea contain multiple replication origins. [23] The genes in prokaryotes are often organized in operons, and do not usually contain introns, unlike eukaryotes. DNA packaging [ edit]Prokaryotes do not possess nuclei. Instead, their DNA is organized into a structure called the nucleoid. [24] [25] The nucleoid is a distinct structure and occupies a defined region of the bacterial cell. This structure is, however, dynamic and is maintained and remodeled by the actions of a range of histone-like proteins, which associate with the bacterial chromosome. [26] In archaea, the DNA in chromosomes is even more organized, with the DNA packaged within structures similar to eukaryotic nucleosomes. [27] [28]Certain bacteria also contain plasmids or other extrachromosomal DNA. These are circular structures in the cytoplasm that contain cellular DNA and play a role in horizontal gene transfer. [4] In prokaryotes (see nucleoids) and viruses, [29] the DNA is often densely packed and organized; in the case of archaea, by homology to eukaryotic histones, and in the case of bacteria, by histone-like proteins. Bacterial chromosomes tend to be tethered to the plasma membrane of the bacteria. In molecular biology application, this allows for its isolation from plasmid DNA by centrifugation of lysed bacteria and pelleting of the membranes (and the attached DNA). Prokaryotic chromosomes and plasmids are, like eukaryotic DNA, generally supercoiled. The DNA must first be released into its relaxed state for access for transcription, regulation, and replication. Eukaryotes [ edit]Organization of DNA in a eukaryotic cell. See also: Eukaryotic chromosome fine structure Chromosomes in eukaryotes are composed of chromatin fiber. Chromatin fiber is made of nucleosomes ( histone octamers with part of a DNA strand attached to and wrapped around it). Chromatin fibers are packaged by proteins into a condensed structure called chromatin. Chromatin contains the vast majority of DNA and a small amount inherited maternally, can be found in the mitochondria. Chromatin is present in most cells, with a few exceptions, for example, red blood cells. Chromatin allows the very long DNA molecules to fit into the cell nucleus. During cell division chromatin condenses further to form microscopically visible chromosomes. The structure of chromosomes varies through the cell cycle. During cellular division chromosomes are replicated, divided, and passed successfully to their daughter cells so as to ensure the genetic diversity and survival of their progeny. Chromosomes may exist as either duplicated or unduplicated. Unduplicated chromosomes are single double helixes, whereas duplicated chromosomes contain two identical copies (called chromatids or sister chromatids) joined by a centromere. The major structures in DNA compaction: DNA, the nucleosome, the 10 nm "beads-on-a-string" fibre, the 30 nm fibre and the metaphase chromosome. Eukaryotes ( cells with nuclei such as those found in plants, fungi, and animals) possess multiple large linear chromosomes contained in the cell's nucleus. Each chromosome has one centromere, with one or two arms projecting from the centromere, although, under most circumstances, these arms are not visible as such. In addition, most eukaryotes have a small circular mitochondrial genome, and some eukaryotes may have additional small circular or linear cytoplasmic chromosomes. In the nuclear chromosomes of eukaryotes, the uncondensed DNA exists in a semi-ordered structure, where it is wrapped around histones (structural proteins ), forming a composite material called chromatin. Interphase chromatin [ edit]During interphase (the period of the cell cycle where the cell is not dividing), two types of chromatin can be distinguished: Euchromatin, which consists of DNA that is active, e.g., being expressed as protein. Heterochromatin, which consists of mostly inactive DNA. It seems to serve structural purposes during the chromosomal stages. Heterochromatin can be further distinguished into two types: Constitutive heterochromatin, which is never expressed. It is located around the centromere and usually contains repetitive sequences. Facultative heterochromatin, which is sometimes expressed. Structure of Eukaryotic chromosome Each chromosome is made up of two chromatids (chromosomal arms) which are joined to each other at a small constricted region called the centromere. ( Primary constriction ). These sister chromatids are conjoined twins the result of DNA replication. The centromere helps the chromatids attach to the spindle fibres during cell division, it is also concerned with the anaphase movement of the chromosomes, by which the spindle fibers pull the chromatids to the two opposite poles by their contraction during anaphase. Besides the primary constriction, in certain chromosomes there is a secondary constriction as well. Because a small portion is pinched off from the chromosomal body; this portion is called a 'satellite' and the chromosome is called an SAT chromosome. The two chromatids are made up of very thin chromatin fibres which are made up of 40% DNA and 60% histone proteins Each chromatin fibre consists of one DNA helix coiled around eight histone molecules like a loop; such a complex is called nucleosome and resembles a bead on a string. These nucleosomes pack tighter, during condensation required to get to metaphase. The primary constriction cannot take up most stains, so during cell division this region is a gap in staining. Within the primary constriction there is a clear zone called Centromere. The centromere with the DNA and histone proteins bound to them form a disc shaped structure called kinetochore.the chromonemata is a word that means a chromatid in the early stage of condensation. Metaphase chromatin and division [ edit]See also: mitosis and meiosis Human chromosomes during metaphase In the early stages of mitosis or meiosis (cell division), the chromatin double helix become more and more condensed. They cease to function as accessible genetic material ( transcription stops) and become a compact transportable form. This compact form makes the individual chromosomes visible, and they form the classic four arm structure, a pair of sister chromatids attached to each other at the centromere. The shorter arms are called p arms (from the French petit, small) and the longer arms are called q arms ( q follows p in the Latin alphabet; q-g "grande"; alternatively it is sometimes said q is short for queue meaning tail in French [30] ). This is the only natural context in which individual chromosomes are visible with an optical microscope. Mitotic metaphase chromosomes are best described by a linearly organized longitudinally compressed array of consecutive chromatin loops. [31]During mitosis, microtubules grow from centrosomes located at opposite ends of the cell and also attach to the centromere at specialized structures called kinetochores, one of which is present on each sister chromatid. A special DNA base sequence in the region of the kinetochores provides, along with special proteins, longer-lasting attachment in this region. The microtubules then pull the chromatids apart toward the centrosomes, so that each daughter cell inherits one set of chromatids. Once the cells have divided, the chromatids are uncoiled and DNA can again be transcribed. In spite of their appearance, chromosomes are structurally highly condensed, which enables these giant DNA structures to be contained within a cell nucleus. Human chromosomes [ edit]Chromosomes in humans can be divided into two types: autosomes (body chromosome (s)) and allosome ( sex chromosome (s)). Certain genetic traits are linked to a person's sex and are passed on through the sex chromosomes. The autosomes contain the rest of the genetic hereditary information. All act in the same way during cell division. Human cells have 23 pairs of chromosomes (22 pairs of autosomes and one pair of sex chromosomes), giving a total of 46 per cell. In addition to these, human cells have many hundreds of copies of the mitochondrial genome. Sequencing of the human genome has provided a great deal of information about each of the chromosomes. Below is a table compiling statistics for the chromosomes, based on the Sanger Institute 's human genome information in the Vertebrate Genome Annotation (VEGA) database. [32] Number of genes is an estimate, as it is in part based on gene predictions. Total chromosome length is an estimate as well, based on the estimated size of unsequenced heterochromatin regions.

For example, most eukaryotes are diploid, like humans who have 22 different types of autosomes, each present as two homologous pairs, and two sex chromosomes. This gives 46 chromosomes in total. Other organisms have more than two copies of their chromosome types, such as bread wheat, which is hexaploid and has six copies of seven different chromosome types – 42 chromosomes in total.

Other eukaryotic chromosomes, i.e., mitochondrial and plasmid-like small chromosomes, are much more variable in number, and there may be thousands of copies per cell. The 23 human chromosome territories during prometaphase in fibroblast cells. Asexually reproducing species have one set of chromosomes that are the same in all body cells. However, asexual species can be either haploid or diploid. Sexually reproducing species have somatic cells (body cells), which are diploid [2n] having two sets of chromosomes (23 pairs in humans with one set of 23 chromosomes from each parent), one set from the mother and one from the father. Gametes, reproductive cells, are haploid [n]: They have one set of chromosomes. Gametes are produced by meiosis of a diploid germ line cell. During meiosis, the matching chromosomes of father and mother can exchange small parts of themselves ( crossover ), and thus create new chromosomes that are not inherited solely from either parent. When a male and a female gamete merge ( fertilization ), a new diploid organism is formed. Some animal and plant species are polyploid [Xn]: They have more than two sets of homologous chromosomes. Plants important in agriculture such as tobacco or wheat are often polyploid, compared to their ancestral species. Wheat has a haploid number of seven chromosomes, still seen in some cultivars as well as the wild progenitors. The more-common pasta and bread wheat types are polyploid, having 28 (tetraploid) and 42 (hexaploid) chromosomes, compared to the 14 (diploid) chromosomes in the wild wheat. [60]In prokaryotes [ edit]Prokaryote species generally have one copy of each major chromosome, but most cells can easily survive with multiple copies. [61] For example, Buchnera, a symbiont of aphids has multiple copies of its chromosome, ranging from 10–400 copies per cell. [62] However, in some large bacteria, such as Epulopiscium fishelsoni up to 100,000 copies of the chromosome can be present. [63] Plasmids and plasmid-like small chromosomes are, as in eukaryotes, highly variable in copy number. The number of plasmids in the cell is almost entirely determined by the rate of division of the plasmid – fast division causes high copy number. Karyotype [ edit]Main article: Karyotype Karyogram of a human male In general, the karyotype is the characteristic chromosome complement of a eukaryotespecies. [64] The preparation and study of karyotypes is part of cytogenetics. Although the replication and transcription of DNA is highly standardized in eukaryotes, the same cannot be said for their karyotypes, which are often highly variable. There may be variation between species in chromosome number and in detailed organization. In some cases, there is significant variation within species. Often there is:1. variation between the two sexes2. variation between the germ-line and soma (between gametes and the rest of the body)3. variation between members of a population, due to balanced genetic polymorphism4. geographical variation between races5. mosaics or otherwise abnormal individuals. Also, variation in karyotype may occur during development from the fertilized egg. The technique of determining the karyotype is usually called karyotyping. Cells can be locked part-way through division (in metaphase) in vitro (in a reaction vial) with colchicine. These cells are then stained, photographed, and arranged into a karyogram, with the set of chromosomes arranged, autosomes in order of length, and sex chromosomes (here X/Y) at the end. Like many sexually reproducing species, humans have special gonosomes (sex chromosomes, in contrast to autosomes ). These are XX in females and XY in males. Historical note [ edit]See also: Argument from authority § Use in science Investigation into the human karyotype took many years to settle the most basic question: How many chromosomes does a normal diploid human cell contain? In 1912, Hans von Winiwarter reported 47 chromosomes in spermatogonia and 48 in oogonia, concluding an XX/XO sex determination mechanism. [65] Painter in 1922 was not certain whether the diploid number of man is 46 or 48, at first favouring 46. [66] He revised his opinion later from 46 to 48, and he correctly insisted on humans having an XX/XY system. [67]New techniques were needed to definitively solve the problem: Using cells in culture Arresting mitosis in metaphase by a solution of colchicine Pretreating cells in a hypotonic solution 0.075 M KCl, which swells them and spreads the chromosomes Squashing the preparation on the slide forcing the chromosomes into a single plane Cutting up a photomicrograph and arranging the result into an indisputable karyogram. It took until 1954 before the human diploid number was confirmed as 46. [68] [69] Considering the techniques of Winiwarter and Painter, their results were quite remarkable. [70] Chimpanzees, the closest living relatives to modern humans, have 48 chromosomes as do the other great apes: in humans two chromosomes fused to form chromosome 2. Aberrations [ edit]In Down syndrome, there are three copies of chromosome 21Chromosomal aberrations are disruptions in the normal chromosomal content of a cell and are a major cause of genetic conditions in humans, such as Down syndrome, although most aberrations have little to no effect. Some chromosome abnormalities do not cause disease in carriers, such as translocations, or chromosomal inversions, although they may lead to a higher chance of bearing a child with a chromosome disorder. Abnormal numbers of chromosomes or chromosome sets, called aneuploidy, may be lethal or may give rise to genetic disorders. [71] Genetic counseling is offered for families that may carry a chromosome rearrangement. The gain or loss of DNA from chromosomes can lead to a variety of genetic disorders. Human examples include: Cri du chat, which is caused by the deletion of part of the short arm of chromosome 5. "Cri du chat" means "cry of the cat" in French; the condition was so-named because affected babies make high-pitched cries that sound like those of a cat. Affected individuals have wide-set eyes, a small head and jaw, moderate to severe mental health problems, and are very short. Down syndrome, the most common trisomy, usually caused by an extra copy of chromosome 21 ( trisomy 21 ). Characteristics include decreased muscle tone, stockier build, asymmetrical skull, slanting eyes and mild to moderate developmental disability. [72]Edwards syndrome, or trisomy-18, the second most common trisomy. [73] Symptoms include motor retardation, developmental disability and numerous congenital anomalies causing serious health problems. Ninety percent of those affected die in infancy. They have characteristic clenched hands and overlapping fingers. Isodicentric 15, also called idic (15), partial tetrasomy 15q, or inverted duplication 15 (inv dup 15). Jacobsen syndrome, which is very rare. It is also called the terminal 11q deletion disorder. [74] Those affected have normal intelligence or mild developmental disability, with poor expressive language skills. Most have a bleeding disorder called Paris-Trousseau syndrome. Klinefelter syndrome (XXY). Men with Klinefelter syndrome are usually sterile and tend to be taller and have longer arms and legs than their peers. Boys with the syndrome are often shy and quiet and have a higher incidence of speech delay and dyslexia. Without testosterone treatment, some may develop gynecomastia during puberty. Patau Syndrome, also called D-Syndrome or trisomy-13. Symptoms are somewhat similar to those of trisomy-18, without the characteristic folded hand. Small supernumerary marker chromosome. This means there is an extra, abnormal chromosome. Features depend on the origin of the extra genetic material. Cat-eye syndrome and isodicentric chromosome 15 syndrome (or Idic15) are both caused by a supernumerary marker chromosome, as is Pallister–Killian syndrome. Triple-X syndrome (XXX). XXX girls tend to be tall and thin and have a higher incidence of dyslexia. Turner syndrome (X instead of XX or XY). In Turner syndrome, female sexual characteristics are present but underdeveloped. Females with Turner syndrome often have a short stature, low hairline, abnormal eye features and bone development and a "caved-in" appearance to the chest. Wolf–Hirschhorn syndrome, which is caused by partial deletion of the short arm of chromosome 4. It is characterized by growth retardation, delayed motor skills development, "Greek Helmet" facial features, and mild to profound mental health problems. XYY syndrome. XYY boys are usually taller than their siblings. Like XXY boys and XXX girls, they are more likely to have learning difficulties. Sperm aneuploidy [ edit]Exposure of males to certain lifestyle, environmental and/or occupational hazards may increase the risk of aneuploid spermatozoa. [75] In particular, risk of aneuploidy is increased by tobacco smoking, [76] [77] and occupational exposure to benzene, [78] insecticides, [79] [80] and perfluorinated compounds. [81] Increased aneuploidy is often associated with increased DNA damage in spermatozoa.

The History of Earth Day \| Earth Day Network The History of Earth Day Search for: Search Each year, Earth Day—April 22—marks the anniversary of the birth of the modern environmental movement in 1970. The height of counterculture in the United States, 1970 brought the death of Jimi Hendrix, the last Beatles album, and Simon & Garfunkel’s “Bridge Over Troubled Water.” War raged in Vietnam and students nationwide overwhelmingly opposed it. At the time, Americans were slurping leaded gas through massive V8 sedans. Industry belched out smoke and sludge with little fear of legal consequences or bad press. Air pollution was commonly accepted as the smell of prosperity. “Environment” was a word that appeared more often in spelling bees than on the evening news. Although mainstream America largely remained oblivious to environmental concerns, the stage had been set for change by the publication of Rachel Carson’s New York Times bestseller Silent Spring in 1962. The book represented a watershed moment, selling more than 500,000 copies in 24 countries, and beginning to raise public awareness and concern for living organisms, the environment and links between pollution and public health. Earth Day 1970 gave voice to that emerging consciousness, channeling the energy of the anti-war protest movement and putting environmental concerns on the front page. The Idea The idea for a national day to focus on the environment came to Earth Day founder Gaylord Nelson, then a U.S. Senator from Wisconsin, after witnessing the ravages of the 1969 massive oil spill in Santa Barbara, California. Inspired by the student anti-war movement, he realized that if he could infuse that energy with an emerging public consciousness about air and water pollution, it would force environmental protection onto the national political agenda. Senator Nelson announced the idea for a “national teach-in on the environment” to the national media; persuaded Pete McCloskey, a conservation-minded Republican Congressman, to serve as his co-chair; and recruited Denis Hayes from Harvard as national coordinator. Hayes built a national staff of 85 to promote events across the land. April 22, falling between Spring Break and Final Exams, was selected as the date. On April 22,1970, 20 million Americans took to the streets, parks, and auditoriums to demonstrate for a healthy, sustainable environment in massive coast-to-coast rallies. Thousands of colleges and universities organized protests against the deterioration of the environment. Groups that had been fighting against oil spills, polluting factories and power plants, raw sewage, toxic dumps, pesticides, freeways, the loss of wilderness, and the extinction of wildlife suddenly realized they shared common values. Earth Day 1970 achieved a rare political alignment, enlisting support from Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, city slickers and farmers, tycoons and labor leaders. By the end of that year, the first Earth Day had led to the creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency and the passage of the Clean Air , Clean Water , and Endangered Species Acts. “It was a gamble,” Gaylord recalled, “but it worked.” As 1990 approached, a group of environmental leaders asked Denis Hayes to organize another big campaign. This time, Earth Day went global, mobilizing 200 million people in 141 countries and lifting environmental issues onto the world stage. Earth Day 1990 gave a huge boost to recycling efforts worldwide and helped pave the way for the 1992 United Nations Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro. It also prompted President Bill Clinton to award Senator Nelson the Presidential Medal of Freedom (1995)—the highest honor given to civilians in the United States—for his role as Earth Day founder. Earth Day Today As the millennium approached, Hayes agreed to spearhead another campaign, this time focused on global warming and a push for clean energy. With 5,000 environmental groups in a record 184 countries reaching out to hundreds of millions of people, Earth Day 2000 combined the big-picture feistiness of the fir

Women were more likely to be diagnosed with mental illness than men (23 percent of women versus 16.9 percent of men), and the rate of mental illness was more than twice as likely in young adults (18 to 25) than people older than 50. About 11.4 million adult Americans suffered from severe mental illness in the past year and 8.7 million adults contemplated serious thoughts of suicide. Among them, more than 2 million made suicide plans and about 1 million attempted suicide. Nearly 2 million teens, or 8 percent of the adolescent population, experienced a major depressive episode in the past year. The research defined a major episode as at least a two-week period when a person is depressed with a loss of interest or pleasure in daily activities, while also experiencing at least four of seven symptoms defined in the fourth edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders. Only about 60 percent of people with mental illness get treatment each year, according to the report, and whites and Native Americans were more likely to seek help than African-Americans, Latinos and Asians. Researchers drew the findings from nearly 70,000 surveys on mental health and addiction among children and adults. "Mental illnesses can be managed successfully, and people do recover," Pamela S. Hyde, head of Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, said in a news release. "Mental illness is not an isolated public health problem. Cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and obesity often co-exist with mental illness and treatment of the mental illness can reduce the effects of these disorders. The Obama Administration is working to promote the use of mental health services through health reform. People, families and communities will benefit from increased access to mental health services. "Dessa Bergen-Cico, assistant professor of public health, food studies and nutrition at Syracuse University in New York, said there are several aspects of mental health treatment that should be improved in this country, including better access to preventive mental health care, which should include coverage for evidence-based prevention, intervention programs and counseling. An example of such a program is the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR), an eight-week secular mindfulness and meditation training program that teaches and prepares people to develop lifelong skills for dealing with anxiety, stress depression, post-traumatic stress disorder and chronic illness. "Despite legislation calling for coverage of mental health and addictions, not much has changed in insurance coverage for prevention or treatment," Bergen-Cico said. "Whereas health care providers are readily prepared to practice medicine, [and] by this I mean write appropriate prescriptions for medication to treat depression, anxiety, ADHD, etc., they are not trained as counselors and do not and should not fill that role. "Mental illness cost about $300 billion in 2002 alone in the United States, according to the report. "What is missing is the approach to mental health problems with a comprehensive ongoing strategy much like what we do for physical injury for which health care providers commonly employ a robust treatment that in addition to surgery would include any or all of the following: physical therapy, medication, preventative education and long term follow-up," Bergen-Cico said.

Interstate 10, which runs southeast to northwest through town, connects Tucson to Phoenix to the northwest on the way to its western terminus in Santa Monica, California, and to Las Cruces, New Mexico and El Paso, Texas toward its eastern terminus in Jacksonville, Florida. I-19 runs south from Tucson toward Nogales and the U.S.-Mexico border. I-19 is the only Interstate highway that uses "kilometer posts" instead of "mileposts", although the speed limits are marked in miles per hour instead of kilometers per hour.
Aral Sea Formerly one of the four largest lakes in the world with an area of 68,000 km2 (26,300 sq mi), the Aral Sea has been shrinking since the 1960s after the rivers that fed it were diverted by Soviet irrigation projects. By 1997, it had declined to 10% of its original size, splitting into four lakes – the North Aral Sea, the eastern and western basins of the once far larger South Aral Sea, and one smaller intermediate lake.[5] By 2009, the southeastern lake had disappeared and the southwestern lake had retreated to a thin strip at the western edge of the former southern sea; in subsequent years, occasional water flows have led to the southeastern lake sometimes being replenished to a small degree.[6] Satellite images taken by NASA in August 2014 revealed that for the first time in modern history the eastern basin of the Aral Sea had completely dried up.[7] The eastern basin is now called the Aralkum Desert.
In the English language, the works of Shakespeare have been a particularly fertile ground for textual criticism—both because the texts, as transmitted, contain a considerable amount of variation, and because the effort and expense of producing superior editions of his works have always been widely viewed as worthwhile. The principles of textual criticism, although originally developed and refined for works of antiquity, the Bible, and Shakespeare, have been applied to many works, extending backwards from the present to the earliest known written documents, in Mesopotamia and Egypt—a period of about five millennia. However, the application of textual criticism to non-religious works does not antedate the invention of printing. While Christianity has been relatively receptive to textual criticism, application of it to the Jewish (Masoretic) Torah and the Qur'an is, to the devout, taboo.[citation needed]

Information : Electronic Command Media Web Original Date: 05/01/2000 Revision Date: 01/18/2007Information : Electronic Command Media Web In 1993, Northrop Grumman Defensive Systems Division (DSD) first implemented an electronic documentation system to establish controlled versions of documents and reduce the cost of maintaining a paper-based system. Although initially limited to management policies, procedures, organization charts, and revisions, this first electronic system evolved into an Intranet-based documentation system known as the Command Media Web. This centralized controlled system provides site-wide access to the most current versions of corporate, sector, and departmental command media; forms; and other general interest information. The Command Media Web is continuously evolving, and the reduction of redundant documentation is a key objective. Operations is currently reviewing and condensing all of the documentation into two categories: Auditable Operations Process Documents and On-The-Job-Training Documents. The use of process mapping techniques on the Stores and Staging Consolidation Pilot Project resulted in a 71% total reduction in documentation. This consolidation effort is planned for implementation throughout the organization to minimize detail, process time, and audit findings, and improve process understanding. The Command Media Web recently began featuring an e-learning program (formerly computer-based training), which offers hundreds of on-line software training courses for employees. A wide range of topics is available including basic computer skills, programming languages, networking, and business applications. Employees register using an on-line form, pending manager approval. An annual license fee of $215 is charged to the employee’s organizational budget for participation in the e-learning program. The Command Media Web is accessible to all Northrop Grumman Defensive Systems Division employees and contractors through unclassified network computers. The Intranet site is currently receiving more than 8,000 hits per day, which is up nearly one-third from last year’s numbers. In addition, the number of visitors and the amount of time spent on the website has increased by about 30% over last year’s averages. Information on the Command Media Web is updated daily to ensure the latest version of documents is available, reduce the chance of using obsolete documentation, and eliminate the costs associated with maintaining hard-copy manuals. Hyperlinks and search capabilities enable users to quickly locate data, thereby minimizing redundancies and conflicts between documents. The implementation of the Command Media Web has resulted in the development and publication of higher quality documents for use throughout Northrop Grumman Defensive Systems Division.

Dethatch the grass with a dethatcher in late spring or early summer. Dethatchers are known to remove up to 75% of moss. Fertilize your lawn every spring and fall using 2 lbs. of nitrogen for every 1000 square feet of grass. This will ensure that the grass is healthy and full enough to crowd out any areas where moss may grow. Water your lawn regularly so that it is thick. A thick lawn chokes out moss.
Into the first half of the twentieth century after the establishment of ROC, Nanjing gradually shifted from being a production hub towards being a heavy consumption city, mainly because of the rapid expansion of its wealthy population after Nanjing once again regained the political spotlight of China. A number of huge department stores such as Zhongyang Shangchang sprouted up, attracting merchants from all over China to sell their products in Nanjing. In 1933, the revenue generated by the food and entertainment industry in the city exceeded the sum of the output of the manufacturing and agriculture industry. One third of the city population worked in the service industry, .

Absolute Beginners is a 1986 British rock musical film adapted from Colin MacInnes ' book of the same name about life in late 1950s London . The film was directed by Julien Temple , featured David Bowie and Sade , and Patsy Kensit in one of her first mainstream roles . The film was screened out of competition at the 1986 Cannes Film Festival . Upon release , Absolute Beginners received immense coverage in the British media . At the time , the British film industry was perceived as being on the point of collapse -LRB- with the recent failure of the film Revolution -RRB- . However , the film was panned by critics and became a box office bomb . Some of the criticisms included stylistic anachronisms , such as the mini-skirt and decidedly 1980s music from the likes of The Style Council and Sade , the bowdlerisation of Kensit 's character -LRB- Crepe Suzette had been depicted as a promiscuous `` negrophile '' in the book -RRB- , and the casting of Bowie , who made it a condition of his musical contribution . Although the film was not a success , Bowie 's theme song was very popular in the UK and reached number two in the charts . The commercial failure of Absolute Beginners and another film released about the same time , The Mission , led to the collapse of Goldcrest , a major British film studio .
Eldred Gregory Peck -LRB- April 5 , 1916 -- June 12 , 2003 -RRB- was an American actor who was one of the most popular film stars from the 1940s to the 1960s .

The convention in the English language is to call nearly all national heads of government "prime minister" (sometimes modified to the equivalent term of premier), regardless of the correct title of the head of government as applied in his or her respective country. The few exceptions to the rule are Germany and Austria, whose heads of government titles are almost always translated as Chancellor; Monaco, whose head of government is referred to as the Minister of State; and Vatican City, for which the head of government is titled the Secretary of State. In the case of Ireland, the head of government is occasionally referred to as the Taoiseach by English speakers. A stand-out case is the President of Iran, who is not actually a head of state, but the head of the government of Iran. He is referred to as "president" in both the Persian and English languages.
Perth is the capital and largest city of the Australian state of Western Australia . It is the fourth-most populous city in Australia , with an estimated population of 2.06 million living in Greater Perth . Perth is part of the South West Land Division of Western Australia , with the majority of the metropolitan area located on the Swan Coastal Plain , a narrow strip between the Indian Ocean and the Darling Scarp . The first areas settled were on the Swan River , with the city 's central business district and port -LRB- Fremantle -RRB- both located on its shores . Perth was founded by Captain James Stirling in 1829 as the administrative centre of the Swan River Colony . It gained city status -LRB- currently vested in the smaller City of Perth -RRB- in 1856 , and was promoted to the status of a Lord Mayorality in 1929 . The city is named after Perth , Scotland , due to the influence of Sir George Murray , Member of Parliament for Perthshire and Secretary of State for War and the Colonies . The city 's population increased substantially as a result of the Western Australian gold rushes in the late 19th century . During Australia 's involvement in World War II , Fremantle served as a base for submarines operating in the Pacific Theatre , and a US Navy Catalina flying boat fleet was based at Matilda Bay . An influx of immigrants after the war , predominantly from Britain , Greece , Italy and Yugoslavia , led to rapid population growth . This was followed by a surge in economic activity flowing from several mining booms in the late 20th and early 21st centuries that saw Perth become the regional headquarters for a number of large mining operations located around the state . As part of Perth 's role as the capital of Western Australia , the state 's Parliament and Supreme Court are located within the city , as is Government House , the residence of the Governor of Western Australia . Perth came seventh in the Economist Intelligence Unit 's August 2016 list of the world 's most liveable cities , and was classified by the Globalization and World Cities Research Network in 2010 as a world city . Perth is divided into 30 local government areas and 250 suburbs , stretching from Two Rocks in the north to Singleton in the south , and east inland to The Lake . Outside of the main CBD , important urban centres within Perth include Armadale , Fremantle , Joondalup , Midland , and Rockingham . Most of those were originally established as separate settlements , and retained a distinct identity after being subsumed into the wider metropolitan area . Mandurah , Western Australia 's second-largest city , has in recent years formed a conurbation with Perth along the coast , though for most purposes it is still considered a separate city .

How Much Can I Withdraw From My Savings Account Without It Being Reported to the IRS? Financial institutions are required to report cash withdrawals in excess of $10,000 to the Internal Revenue Service. Generally, your bank does not notify the IRS when you make a withdrawal of less than $10,000. However, if a bank employee suspects that you are structuring transactions to try to avoid IRS reporting requirements, then the employee must complete a report on your transactions regardless of the amount withdrawn.
BBC Beds, Herts and Bucks - Nature - From a river to the Romans and beyond NEXT More info: Where the city of St Albans now stands has been an important settlement area for thousands of years. There is evidence of Iron Age dwelling in the area before the Romans arrived. Then after both the Saxons and medieval times, the settlement moved up to and beyond where the Abbey is now. But the one thing that is constant is the River Ver. Its course may have changed slightly but it remains, despite our prodigious use of water that often threatens it. It is also the single most important resource that made the area so important and has been used for many things over the centuries. If the river hadn't been there, then St Albans probably wouldn't have had such a rich and varied history. This walk looks at the River Ver, why it is where it is, the wildlife it supports and the impact that human habitation has had on it, diverting its course to fit in with their needs. It also looks at how the underlying rocks, chalk and flint have shaped a city, and kept St Albans as a major centre of communication throughout history.
Newfoundland dog The Newfoundland dog is known for its calm and docile nature and its strength. They are highly loyal and make ideal working dogs. It is for this reason that this breed is known as "the gentle giant". International kennel clubs generally describe the breed as having a sweet temper.[6][8][9] It typically has a deep bark and is easy to train if started young. They are wonderfully good with children, but small children can get accidentally leaned on and knocked down. Newfoundlands are ideal companions in the world of therapy and are often referred to as the nanny dog. The breed was memorialized in "Nana", the beloved guardian dog in J.M. Barrie's Peter Pan.[A] The Newfoundland, in general, is good with other animals, but its size can cause problems if it is not trained.
Antebellum Period Facts, information and articles about the Antebellum Period, before the Civil War Antebellum Period summary: The Antebellum Period in American history is generally considered to be the period before the civil war and after the War of 1812, although some historians expand it to all the years from the adoption of the Constitution in 1789 to the beginning of the Civil War. It was characterized by the rise of abolition and the gradual polarization of the country between abolitionists and supporters of slavery. During this same time, the country’s economy began shifting in the north to manufacturing as the Industrial Revolution began, while in the south, a cotton boom made plantations the center of the economy. The annexation of new territory and western expansion saw the reinforcement of American individualism and of Manifest Destiny, the idea that Americans and the institutions of the U.S. are morally superior and Americans are morally obligated to spread these institutions. The Cotton Economy In The South In the South, cotton plantations were very profitable, at least until overplanting leached most of the nutrients from the soil. Advances in processing the fiber, from Eli Whitney’s cotton gin to the development of power looms and the sewing machine, increased demand for cotton to export from the South to England and the mills of New England. Plantation owners were able to obtain large tracts of land for little money, particularly after the Indian Removal Act was passed in 1830. These plantations depended on a large force of slave labor to cultivate and harvest the crop—most white farmers in the 19th century wanted and were able to obtain their own farms as the U.S. expanded south and west, and slaves not only provided a labor source that couldn’t resign or demand higher wages, their progeny insured that labor source would continue for generations. The demand for slave labor and the U.S. ban on importing more slaves from Africa drove up prices for slaves, making it profitable for smaller farmers in older settled areas such as Virginia to sell their slaves further south and west. Most farmers in the South had small- to medium-sized farms with few slaves, but the large plantation owner’s wealth, often reflected in the number of slaves they owned, afforded them considerable prestige and political power. As the quality of land decreased from over-cultivation, slave owners increasingly found that the majority of their wealth existed in the form of their slaves; they began looking to new lands in Texas and further west, as well as in the Caribbean and Central America, as places where they might expand their holdings and continue their way of life. Early Industrialization and the Rise in Manufacturing in the North The early industrial revolution began with textile industry in New England, which was revolutionized by Samuel Slater. Slater was a former apprentice in one of Britain’s largest textile factories who emigrated to Rhode Island after learning that American states were paying bounties to people who could help replicate British textile machines, such as the spinning jenny, although the British government forbade the export of the machines or emigration of people with knowledge of them. In 1787, the horse-powered Beverly Cotton Manufactory had begun operating in Beverly, Massachusetts; in 1793, Slater opened the first fully mechanized mill in Pawtucket, Rhode Island. His system of independent mills and mill towns spread through the Blackstone Valley into Massachusetts. In the 1820s, Slater’s system was supplanted by the more-efficient Waltham or Lowell system. The Waltham system included power looms in the mill, rather than Slater’s practice of having weaving done at local farms. The Waltham system also included specialized, trained employees to run the looms—mainly young women—giving rise to the concept of wage labor, which gradually began overtaking previous forms of labor, such as apprenticeship and indentured servitude, family labor, and slavery in industrialized areas. A population shift from farms to

Chapter I covers animal husbandry and plant breeding, going back to ancient Egypt. Darwin discusses contemporary opinions on the origins of different breeds under cultivation to argue that many have been produced from common ancestors by selective breeding. As an illustration of artificial selection, he describes fancy pigeon breeding, noting that "[t]he diversity of the breeds is something astonishing", yet all were descended from one species of rock pigeon. Darwin saw two distinct kinds of variation: (1) rare abrupt changes he called "sports" or "monstrosities" (example: ancon sheep with short legs), and (2) ubiquitous small differences (example: slightly shorter or longer bill of pigeons). Both types of hereditary changes can be used by breeders. However, for Darwin the small changes were most important in evolution.
Local government in the Philippines Officially local government in the Philippines, often called local government units or LGUs, are divided into three levels â€“ provinces and independent cities; component cities and municipalities; and barangays. In one area, above provinces and independent cities, is an autonomous region, the Autonomous Region of Muslim Mindanao. Below barangays in some cities and municipalities are sitios and puroks. All of these, with the exception of sitios and puroks, elect their own executives and legislatures. Sitios and puroks are often led by elected barangay councilors.

In 1977, Gaddafi dissolved the Republic and created a new socialist state, the Jamahiriya ("state of the masses"). Officially adopting a symbolic role in governance, he retained power as military commander-in-chief and head of the Revolutionary Committees responsible for policing and suppressing opponents. Overseeing unsuccessful border conflicts with Egypt and Chad, Gaddafi's support for foreign militants and alleged responsibility for the Lockerbie bombing led to Libya's label of "international pariah". A particularly hostile relationship developed with the United States and United Kingdom, resulting in the 1986 U.S. bombing of Libya and United Nations-imposed economic sanctions. Rejecting his earlier ideological commitments, from 1999 Gaddafi encouraged economic privatization and sought rapprochement with Western nations, also embracing Pan-Africanism and helping to establish the African Union. Amid the Arab Spring, in 2011 an anti-Gaddafist uprising led by the National Transitional Council (NTC) broke out, resulting in the Libyan Civil War. NATO intervened militarily on the side of the NTC, bringing about the government's downfall. Retreating to Sirte, Gaddafi was captured and killed by NTC militants.

Early releases of the Washington coin included error coins shipped primarily from the Philadelphia mint to Florida and Tennessee banks. Highly sought after by collectors, and trading for as much as $850 each within a week of discovery, the error coins were identified by the absence of the edge impressions "E PLURIBUS UNUM IN GOD WE TRUST 2007 P". The mint of origin is generally accepted to be mostly Philadelphia, although identifying the source mint is impossible without opening a mint pack also containing marked units. Edge lettering is minted in both orientations with respect to "heads", some amateur collectors were initially duped into buying "upside down lettering error" coins. Some cynics also erroneously point out that the Federal Reserve makes more profit from dollar bills than dollar coins because they wear out in a few years, whereas coins are more permanent. The fallacy of this argument arises because new notes printed to replace worn out notes, which have been withdrawn from circulation, bring in no net revenue to the government to offset the costs of printing new notes and destroying the old ones. As most vending machines are incapable of making change in banknotes, they commonly accept only $1 bills, though a few will give change in dollar coins.
Ant Control Cost DIY Removal: $4-$55 Professional Removal: $50-$1,000+E-mail Post Tweet Comments (1)There are more than 12,000 species of ants worldwide, and different species require different control methods. The University of California Integrated Pest Management Program provides an overview of ant anatomy [ 1] . The University of California [ 2] and the University of Texas offer step-by-step tools for identifying the most common ants in their areas. Check with local agricultural officials to see which ants are common in a specific region. Typical costs: Inexpensive do-it-yourself ant control methods include squirting white vinegar or a 50-50 mixture of apple cider vinegar and water on surfaces that attract ants; shaking cinnamon, black pepper or baby powder on these areas; or spraying problem spots with equal amounts of window cleaner and liquid soap. Sprinkling diatomaceous earth (about $10-$12 for a four pound bag, online or through a pool store) is believed by its users to dehydrate the ants and kill them. Vacuuming ant trails or sponging or mopping them away can be more effective than using indoor insecticide spray, according to the University of California Integrated Pest management Program [ 3] . It's also important to clean and inspect the home, eliminating all potential sources of ant food and water. Poison bait that is carried back to the nest to eliminate the entire colony is slower but more effective than spraying insecticide on the visible indoor ants, according to the University of Kentucky College of Agriculture [ 4] . Bait is insecticide mixed with ant-attractant materials. Some people report success mixing boric acid (borax, $4-$7 for one pound, online or at hardware and home improvement stores) with sugar or some other sweet. Pre-filled bait traps or stakes designed for consumer use can cost $3-$55, depending on the brand, type and amount. For example, a six-pack of Terro bait traps [ 5] , a borax-based ant control method, is sold at hardware and discount stores for $5-$10. If home remedies or do-it-yourself efforts don't solve the problem, many common household ants can be eliminated by a general pest control treatment which costs $50-$300 or more for a first application, depending on the size of the house. Follow-up maintenance service can cost $25-$60 for monthly applications or $30-$110 for quarterly service, a total annual cost of $300-$600 or more. Carpenter ants tunnel through wood to make their nests, which can cause structural damage Controlling carpenter ants can start at $25-$50 for a do-it-yourself approach eliminating an easily accessible outdoor nest to $500-$1,000 or more to have a professional do a drill-and-dust application (drilling holes and filling them with insecticide dust) to every void in every wall in the house, according to the Iowa State University Extension [ 6] . Monthly follow-up treatments are typically recommended to avoid new infestations. Ongoing maintenance treatments can cost about $250 per year, according to the University of Massachusetts, Amherst [ 7] . Fire ant control can cost $10-$50 or more for do-it-yourself methods, or $100-$300 or more for treatment by a pest control company or landscaping service. Related articles: Fire Ant Control, Pest Control What should be included: Ants can play a beneficial role in the garden. It's impossible to eliminate all ants in an outdoor area, and whole-yard treatments can eliminate beneficial ants. Indoor ant colonies can be located in spaces behind walls, cabinets and appliances, behind window and door frames, and beneath floors and concrete slabs. The pest control professional should thoroughly inspect the home first, usually with the homeowner present to answer questions about recent ant activity. Once the nest is located and the ant species identified, the technician will determine whether to set up reusable bait stations and/or spray the interior and exterior of the home. For carpenter ants, once the nest is located, the technician will typically drill holes and treat the surrounding wood with insecticide, moving outward from the nest's location, and ending with a residual insecticide spray of the home's perimeter. Bug Spray.com posts a video showing how to track carpenter ant trails [ 8] . Shopping for ant control: Get estimates from several companies. Find out how long the company has been in business, what type of training and experience the employees have, and what sort of guarantee is provided. The National Pest Management Association lists tips for choosing a pest control company [ 9] . The National Pest Management Association and the Termite Institute offer locators to search for a local exterminator. Ask for (and contact) references from satisfied customers and check whether company has had any complaints with the Better Business Bureau [ 10] . Before a contract is signed, the pest control company should provide a detailed written statement outlining the extent of the infestation and the specific measures that will be taken, including listing any pesticides that will be used. Be sure to understand what precautions need to be taken before, during and after the treatment.

A gene is a locus (or region) of DNA that encodes a functional RNA or protein product, and is the molecular unit of heredity.:Glossary The transmission of genes to an organism's offspring is the basis of the inheritance of phenotypic traits. Most biological traits are under the influence of polygenes (many different genes) as well as the gene–environment interactions. Some genetic traits are instantly visible, such as eye colour or number of limbs, and some are not, such as blood type, risk for specific diseases, or the thousands of basic biochemical processes that comprise life.
Kim Jong-un was child prodigy who could drive at age of three, claims North Korean school curriculum - Telegraph North Korea Kim Jong-un was child prodigy who could drive at age of three, claims North Korean school curriculum Portrayal of dictator as a child prodigy to boost his standing with his citizens reminiscent of outlandish claims about father Kim Jong-il's prowess Kim Jong-un is apparently a natural sailor Photo: AFP/Getty By Julian Ryall, Tokyo 9:20AM BST 10 Apr 2015 Teachers in North Korea have been issued with a manual that requires them to instruct their charges that Kim Jong-un was a prodigy who could drive at the age of 3 and was winning yachting races at just 9. South Korea 's YTN television network reported that the manual has been provided to teachers at middle and high schools across the country to go with a new subject, Kim Jong-un's Revolutionary Activities, that is being included in the school curriculum from this year. Horse riding is one of Kim's favourite pastimes (Getty) North Korean children are being taught that Mr Kim is a skilled artist and composer of musical scores, while he was able to drive when he was 3. Mr Kim is also, apparently, a natural sailor. "At the age of 9, Kim Jong-un raced the chief executive of a foreign yacht company who was visiting North Korea at the time", the books claim, adding that he overcame the odds to claim victory. That the regime is going to such lengths to lionise Mr Kim suggests the young dictator still lacks the complete support of his people, Toshimitsu Shigemura, a professor at Tokyo's Waseda University and an authority on North Korean affairs, told The Telegraph. "This tells us that his rule is not yet stable", Prof Shigemura said. "A North Korean leader needs to have success and results, and so far he hasn't been very successful." "Not many people in the North have respect for Mr Kim, so children are being taught how great and powerful he is", he added. "The children believe it, of course, but the teachers have no choice but to believe it". North Korean leader Kim Jong-un is surrounded by soldiers from a women's artillery unit in North Korea's southeastern province of Kangwon (KCNA) Efforts to build a cult of personality around Mr Kim echo similar campaigns - and equally outlandish claims - in support of his late father, Kim Jong-il. The North Korean leader, who died in December 2011, had reportedly learned to walk at just 3 weeks and was talking at 8 weeks.

Hooligan Days: A Coast Guard Memoir by Sam Smith H O O L I G A N D A Y S The Unauthorized Memoirs of Sam Smith Copyright 1998 Sam Smith The Greyhound bus rolled the 180 miles towards Yorktown, passing weathered, weary places where nothing seemed new, nothing shone, nothing smiled. As I sat alone in the dark of tidewater Virginia in the winter of 1961, my own past seemed to fade as irretrievably as the deep, distant line of shadows where the fields and the woods met. When I stepped off the bus, I would, for the first time in my life, be without a story. The only thing that would matter would be what I did next. For four hours I felt empty, stripped and scared. Thus I arrived at the Coast Guard Reserve Training Center completely unprepared for its normalcy and even subdued hospitality. The classroom and dormitory buildings were standard Coast Guard architecture -- antiseptic white clapboards topped by dull green or red shingles, a sight that has meant home, progress, or security to generations of mariners. Our rooms were basic gray without brutality: a couple of government-issue gray desks, a gray bunk bed and two gray metal wardrobes. My one hundred classmates were either much like myself, apprehensive young college graduates, or somewhat less apprehensive enlisted men attempting to become officers. Unthreatened confidence was restricted to our instructors and to a small group of warrant officers attempting to leave the purgatory of that specialized rank in which they were considered officers but not quite gentlemen and in which they lacked the prospect of promotion. The warrant officers would attend our classes but were not subjected to demerits, marching in formation and other such annoyances. And if they failed, they were still warrant officers, which in the Coast Guard wasn't bad. My roommate was a journalist first class, also surnamed Smith. I called him Bill and he called me Smitty. Some years older than I, Bill was married, had been in the Guard for some ten years and took a avuncular interest in his seaman apprentice roomie. Bill, it turned out, was one of what I would soon learn was a familiar Coastie prototype, a competent, enjoyable and decent man without a trace of guile. He showed me the proper mix of spit and polish to make the toes of my black shoes glisten; he instructed me in how to make hospital corners on my bunk and how to clean the white piping on my seaman's uniform with a toothbrush and then to suck the dirt and water out with my lips and teeth. In return I helped Bill with his math and together we quizzed each other for the endless multiple choice exams that popped up almost daily. o Because of the massive amount of information the Guard intended to pour into our brains within thirteen weeks, there was little time for harassment or pointless exercises. Between reveille at 6 am and the first class at eight, we did calisthenics, ate breakfast, cleaned our rooms, and were inspected in our fresh-never-sat-down-in whites. The rest of the day was mostly filled with classes and studying, with a little pro forma drilling thrown in. Our training vessel was a 125' patrol vessel, the Cuyahoga, which had been built in 1927 to catch rum runners. In 1978, she would sink in minutes following a collision with a freighter in Chesapeake Bay. Like many of the Coast Guard vessels of the era, the Cuyahoga would never have passed Coast Guard inspection. Every major Coast Guard vessel of that time had seen service during World War II. On a few vessels it was said that the crews wore lifejackets to bed and wagered on whether the ship would make it back to port.

This may seem a bit of a mouthful, but if you break it down it becomes simpler. Minerals are naturally occurring. They are not made by humans. Minerals are inorganic.
Constellations / Useful Notes - TV Tropes - Vincent van Gogh What is a constellation, exactly? Well, it's just a Man's invention. Constellations do not exist in nature. When the ancient people observed the night sky, they noted that some stars make geometrical figures. Their vivid imagination caused them associating these figures with animals, objects, or legendary human characters. Apart from some rare exceptions, this resemblance is very debatable. As ancient people used to think the Sky was just a huge dome above the Earth, they made the mistake to think the stars within a constellation are actually close to each other. We modern people, too, tend to do the same error, even when accepting the sky is not a "celestial dome" but a boundless extension of space outside the Earth. Popular media contribute to all this, for example Sci-Fi stories telling us a space traveller can easily go to a constellation to another with its spaceship. Actually, constellations are just simple areas in the sky whose boundaries were definitively decided on in year 1922 by an International Convention — before that, those boundaries were quite indistinct. Within each area, stars are not close to each other (apart from those grouped in clusters, see further); they aren't even at the same distance to us. One star that seems coupled with another in the sky can even be 10 times more distant from us than its neighbor. The typical figures of the constellations would totally disappear if we could go out of the Solar System and see, for example, the sky at a distance of 100 light years from Earth. All the visible stars in the sky pertain to our Galaxy, more precisely the galactic portion closest to the Solar System — the more distant stars visible without binoculars or a telescope are about 3,000 light years from here: the whole Galaxy is 100,000 light years wide. Also note that the stars within a constellation are neither of the same luminosity, nor are they of the same color; two stars can appear the same brightness but one can actually produce 1,000,000 times more light than the other, but is 1,000 times more distantnote Not 1,000,000 times; remember the Inverse Square Law. Colors vary from red to light blue, passing throughout orange, yellow (our Sun is yellow), and pure white. note Green stars do not exist. This coloration is tied to the temperature of the stars' surface: curiously, red stars are the "coldest" (about 4,000 C°), then the orange, yellow, white, and finally the hottest of them all, the blue ones (up to 40,000 C°). Our Sun is about 6,000 C°. Finally, it's worthy of note that the stars making the figure of a constellation do not appear with the same luminosity when live-observing, note And, of course, there are NOT lines linking them, they are only a means in astronomy books to aid the reader to better memorize the figure, and different books can link the stars of a constellation in slightly different ways. and that they are not the only stars of the constellations: they contain dozens and sometimes hundreds of other fainter stars visible to the naked eye, and millions more when watching with a telescope. THE 88 CONSTELLATIONS Only very few constellations are familiar to laymen. Most of them are known only by astronomers or space lovers. This is justified though, both because most constellations are faint and hard to recognize, and because even the brightest ones are difficult to see for a non-expert when living in a city or even in a town — we'll not talk here about the notorious light pollution. 48 constellations were invented by ancient Greek (even though many were already conceived before that), and made official in the first century A.D. by the famed astronomer Ptolemaeus. Obviously, they are mainly in the Northern celestial hemisphere. note The two celestial hemispheres do not coincide with the two terrestrial ones. An U.S. or European observer can also see some constellations that are below the celestial Equator, but certainly the northern ones are the easiest to see for her/him. The exact opposite for an Australian or South-Af

Derek Shepherd In season 11, Derek is involved in a fatal car accident while driving to the airport for his final trip to Washington. He is able to hear and process auditory input, but unable to speak. He is recognized by Winnie, one of the victims of a crash he assisted in earlier, who tells the surgeons that their patient's name is Derek and that he is a surgeon as well. The hospital he was taken to was understaffed and his head injury was not detected quickly enough by the interns on duty that night. Although the neurosurgeon on call is paged multiple times, he takes too long to arrive and Derek is declared brain dead. Police arrive at Meredith's door and take her to see Derek, where she consents to removing him from life support. At the time of his death, Meredith was pregnant with their third child. She gives birth to a daughter whom she names Ellis after her mother.
Hours and hours and hours. For instance, their scenes of the snow leopard, a few minutes in show time, took 3 years of effort. The birds of paradise took 300 hours of film time, spending 8 or 9 hours a day watching and waiting for the bird to be present and possibly start a mating dance or other interesting activity. Basically, they were doing exactly what you imagined, being patient as all get out, while being eaten by leeches or frozen by blizzards.
A subnetwork, or subnet, is a logical, visible subdivision of an IP network.The practice of dividing a network into two or more networks is called subnetting. Computers that belong to a subnet are addressed with a common, identical, most-significant bit-group in their IP address.This results in the logical division of an IP address into two fields, a network or routing prefix and the rest field or host identifier.he process of subnetting involves the separation of the network and subnet portion of an address from the host identifier. This is performed by a bitwise AND operation between the IP address and the (sub)network mask. The result yields the network address or prefix, and the remainder is the host identifier.

Indigenous population in Peru make up around 45%. Native Peruvian traditions and customs have shaped the way Peruvians live and see themselves today. Cultural citizenship—or what Renato Rosaldo has called, "the right to be different and to belong, in a democratic, participatory sense" (1996:243)—is not yet very well developed in Peru. This is perhaps no more apparent than in the country's Amazonian regions where indigenous societies continue to struggle against state-sponsored economic abuses, cultural discrimination, and pervasive violence.

Nikola Tesla -LRB- Никола Тесла 10 July 1856 -- 7 January 1943 -RRB- was a Serbian-American inventor , electrical engineer , mechanical engineer , physicist , and futurist who is best known for his contributions to the design of the modern alternating current -LRB- AC -RRB- electricity supply system . Born and raised in the Austrian Empire , Tesla received an advanced education in engineering and physics in the 1870s and gained practical experience in the early 1880s working in telephony and at Continental Edison in the new electric power industry . He emigrated to the United States in 1884 , where he would become a naturalized citizen . He worked for a short time at the Edison Machine Works in New York City before he struck out on his own . With the help of partners to finance and market his ideas , Tesla set up laboratories and companies in New York to develop a range of electrical and mechanical devices . His alternating current -LRB- AC -RRB- induction motor and related polyphase AC patents , licensed by Westinghouse Electric in 1888 , earned him a considerable amount of money and became the cornerstone of the polyphase system which that company would eventually market . Attempting to develop inventions he could patent and market , Tesla conducted a range of experiments with mechanical oscillators/generators , electrical discharge tubes , and early X-ray imaging . He also built a wireless-controlled boat , one of the first ever exhibited . Tesla became well known as an inventor and would demonstrate his achievements to celebrities and wealthy patrons at his lab , and was noted for his showmanship at public lectures . Throughout the 1890s , Tesla would pursue his ideas for wireless lighting and worldwide wireless electric power distribution in his high-voltage , high-frequency power experiments in New York and Colorado Springs . In 1893 , he made pronouncements on the possibility of wireless communication with his devices . Tesla tried to put these ideas to practical use in his unfinished Wardenclyffe Tower project , an intercontinental wireless communication and power transmitter , but ran out of funding before he could complete it . After Wardenclyffe , Tesla went on to try and develop a series of inventions in the 1910s and 1920s with varying degrees of success . Having spent most of his money , he lived in a series of New York hotels , leaving behind unpaid bills . The nature of his earlier work and the pronouncements he made to the press later in life earned him the reputation of an archetypal `` mad scientist '' in American popular culture . Tesla died in New York City in January 1943 . His work fell into relative obscurity following his death , but in 1960 , the General Conference on Weights and Measures named the SI unit of magnetic flux density the tesla in his honor . There has been a resurgence in popular interest in Tesla since the 1990s .

Full Name Stephen Tyrone Colbert Zodiac Sign Taurus Cite This Page IN THESE GROUPSFamous People Born on May 13Famous Grammy Winners Famous People Born in United States Famous Irish Americans Show All Groups Stephen Colbert Biography Comedian, Talk Show Host (1964–)169SHARESComedian and talk show host Stephen Colbert was a mock news correspondent on Comedy Central's 'The Daily Show' before hosting his own spin-off, 'The Colbert Report.' In 2014, it was announced that Colbert would replace David Letterman as host of CBS' 'Late Show. 'Synopsis Stephen Colbert was born on May 13, 1964, in Washington, D. C. After joining Chicago’s Second City comedy troupe, he met comedians Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, and together they created and starred in both Exit 57 and Strangers with Candy. In 1997, Colbert began appearing in episodes of The Daily Show. In 2005, he was given his own spin-off show, The Colbert Report. He published I Am America (And So Can You!) in 2007. In 2014, it was announced that Colbert would replace David Letterman as host of CBS' Late Show . Early Years Comedian and talk show host Stephen Colbert was born in Washington, DC, and grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, the youngest of 11 children. In 1974, when he was 10, Colbert experienced what was likely the defining event of his childhood when his father and two of his brothers were killed in a plane crash. He grew introverted, finding solace in reading, especially science fiction and fantasy novels by authors such as J. R. R. Tolkien. Stephen Colbert found a way to express himself through acting, which he did in several school plays at Charleston's Episcopal Porter-Gaud School. He later enrolled at Hampden-Sydney College of Virginia with the intention of becoming a philosophy major, but it wasn’t long before he reconsidered and transferred to Northwestern University, enrolling as a theater major. Advertisement Visit Site After graduating from Northwestern in 1986, Colbert moved to Chicago and took a job in the offices of the Second City comedy troupe. Two years later, after taking improv classes there, he was asked to join the traveling group. He accepted the offer and spent the next two years on the road. At Second City, he met comedians Amy Sedaris and Paul Dinello, and together they created and starred in two Comedy Central series: the sketch show Exit 57 (1995–1996) and the spoof of after-school specials Strangers with Candy (1999–2000); a movie based on the show came out in 2006. In 1997, just before Strangers got picked up by Comedy Central, Colbert began appearing in episodes of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart as a conservative correspondent, in the guise of a humorless but hilarious persona he had perfected. With both Strangers and The Daily Show running—and the latter becoming a huge hit in the early 2000s—Colbert’s career was gaining traction, and his own show, a spin-off of The Daily Show, was just around the corner. The Colbert Report In the fall of 2005, The Colbert Report (with the "t" in Report being silent) began airing on Comedy Central, featuring Colbert as a starchy, blustery right-wing host—a parody of pundits who dominated the talk show airwaves. The show was instantly one of Comedy Central’s highest rated shows, bringing in over a million viewers per episode in its first week. Six months after The Colbert Report debuted, however, Colbert appeared as the featured speaker at the 2006 White House Correspondents' Association Dinner. With President George W. Bush and first lady Laura Bush just a few feet away, Colbert proceeded to give an off-color tirade that left the audience silent and had the critics divided—some praised him and others said he had crossed the line into disrespect. The controversy only ignited his popularity, though, and The Colbert Report has been a Comedy Central powerhouse, winning several Emmys, including 2013 and 2014 awards for Outstanding Variety Series. Offscreen, Colbert published I Am America (and So Can You!) in 2007 and contributed to 2004’s America (The Book): A Citizen's Guide to Democracy Inaction. He also arranged (with Jon Stewart) the Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear, a gathering in Washington, D. C., that served both to parody events staged by conservative commentator Glenn Beck and the Rev. Al Sharpton and to attempt to get a serious dialogue going on issues of the day. On December 18, 2014, Colbert appeared in his final episode of The Colbert Report. His featured guest for the program was his friend "Grimmy," also known as the grim reaper. CBS' 'Late Show'In April 2014, after David Letterman announced his plans to retire in 2015, Colbert was selected to replace him. “Simply being a guest on David Letterman’s show has been a highlight of my career,” Colbert said. “I never dreamed that I would follow in his footsteps, though everyone in late night follows Dave’s lead. I’m thrilled and grateful that CBS chose me. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I have to go grind a gap in my front teeth.”Fact Check We strive for accuracy and fairness.

Special procedures apply to legislation passed by Tynwald, the legislature of the Isle of Man. Before the lordship of the Island was purchased by the British Crown in 1765 (the Revestment), the assent of the Lord of Mann to a bill was signified by letter to the governor. After 1765, royal assent was at first signified by letter from the Secretary of State to the governor; but, during the British Regency, the practice began of granting royal assent by Order in Council, which continues to this day, though limited to exceptional cases since 1981.

Soldier Soldier Entertainment Soldier Soldier One of the most famous roles for Jerome was in 1990 in the hit TV show Soldier, Soldier. It was this series that brought him together with Robson Green - a partnership that eventually led to the show's most recognisable double-act, and would bring fame and fortune in other ventures. Jerome and Robson shared the same hotel and they spoke to each other for the first time in a taxi. Jerome recalls how the more they got to know each other, the more difficult it was to keep a straight face and act responsibly. "In one scene with the two of us and Robson, the camera turned to Holly for the reverse shot, but we just couldn't keep it together and had to be sent out of the room. Holly acted the scene on her own with the director reading our lines. We were waiting outside, in disgrace." Both actors were enjoying the work and the relationships they were striking up with the other actors around them, even though they were both convinced the series would be a big flop. But the first series screened in 1991 was an instant success with nine million viewers a week, reaching number seven in the ITV ratings. It won the Gold Award at the Houston International Film Festival for the best drama series. The chemistry between Paddy and Tucker was fast becoming a main focus of the show. So much so that a special video was released featuring highlights of their exploits, which became a great seller. Paddy and Tucker Nancy and Paddy While the first series was filmed in Staffordshire, England, production would move to other countries as "The King's Fusiliers" received postings around the world. Jerome was delighted: it was an opportunity to continue to work with Robson, and to travel and explore. Soldier Soldier - Series 1.

Seattle Elects Gay Mayor Ed Murray \| Advocate.com Seattle Elects Gay Mayor Ed Murray State senator Ed Murray, Seattle's new mayor-elect, was instrumental in establishing marriage equality in Washington State. By Michelle Garcia November 06 2013 2:18 PM EST Seattle elected the city's first openly gay mayor when state senator Ed Murray defeated current Mayor Mike McGinn with 56% of the vote Tuesday night. McGinn, who earned 43% of the vote, said he expected to concede once all the votes came in (in Washington voting is done completely by mail, just like in neighboring Oregon). The two ran campaigns targeted toward Seattle's left-leaning politics, including support for a $15 minimum wage, new taxes, and making marijuana use legal, according to the Associated Press. Murray was instrumental in bringing marriage equality to Washington in 2012 as a state senator. According to the Seattle Times , Murray's campaign embraced and even touted his marriage equality efforts as his signature legislative accomplishment. When addressing supporters Tuesday night, Murray, 58, was joined onstage by his husband, Michael Shiosaki. The two wed over the summer.
Artichoke Harvest: How To Tell When An Artichoke Is Ripe Image by Clay Irving By Susan Patterson, Master Gardener Artichokes (Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus), considered a delightful treat by many, are perennial edible plants that are similar in appearance to thistles. They can grow up to 5 feet tall and bear flower buds that look like a dark green pinecone, almost 4 inches in diameter. A leathery bract surrounds a purple-blue flower. Most of the nation’s artichokes are grown in the coastal California region because conditions are most favorable. Artichokes like frost-free winters and cool, foggy summers the best. When and how to harvest artichokes in the home garden depends on the type you are growing. Types of Artichokes There are two main types of artichokes — those that are round are known as “Globe” and those that are long and tapered are known as “Violetta.” The flowering bud of these artichokes is the part that is harvested. The Jerusalem artichoke (Helianthus tuberosus), a strong growing perennial, is referred to as a sunchoke and is a member of the sunflower family. The edible portion of this crop is underground in the form of a tuber. When and How to Harvest Artichokes Artichoke harvest starts in late July or early August and continues well until frost. Buds are generally harvested once they reach full size, just before the bracts begin to spread open. Harvesting artichokes requires that you cut off the bud along with 3 inches of stem. Harvesting Jerusalem artichoke tubers is not done until after frost when tubers are dug up from the ground. After harvest, continue to water and feed the plants. After several frosts, cut back the artichoke plant and mulch heavily. How Do I Know When to Pick Artichokes? You’ve probably asked yourself, how do I know when to pick artichokes even when the timing seems right? If you’re concerned about how to tell when an artichoke is ripe, watch plants very carefully. Once flower buds begin to form, it’s vital to provide the right conditions for the plant so that it doesn’t become stressed. If you miss the ideal artichoke harvest for Globe and Violetta types and buds are not harvested, they will form a purple flower that can be cut for fresh or dried arrangements. Artichoke Harvest Concerns Although artichokes aren’t difficult plants to maintain, they won’t flower if they don’t receive an adequate number of chilling days. It’s best to plant early to ensure proper growth.
