Faced with the stripping of their powers, Wu Sangui, later joined by Geng Zhongming and by Shang Kexi's son Shang Zhixin, felt they had no choice but to revolt. The ensuing Revolt of the Three Feudatories lasted for eight years. Wu attempted, ultimately in vain, to fire the embers of south China Ming loyalty by restoring Ming customs, ordering that the resented queues be cut, and declaring himself emperor of a new dynasty. At the peak of the rebels' fortunes, they extended their control as far north as the Yangtze River, nearly establishing a divided China. Wu then hesitated to go further north, not being able to coordinate strategy with his allies, and Kangxi was able to unify his forces for a counterattack led by a new generation of Manchu generals. By 1681, the Qing government had established control over a ravaged southern China which took several decades to recover. Manchu Generals and Bannermen were initially put to shame by the better performance of the Han Chinese Green Standard Army, who fought better than them against the rebels and this was noted by Kangxi, leading him to task Generals Sun Sike, Wang Jinbao, and Zhao Liangdong to lead Green Standard Soldiers to crush the rebels. The Qing thought that Han Chinese were superior at battling other Han people and so used the Green Standard Army as the dominant and majority army in crushing the rebels instead of Bannermen. Similarly, in northwestern China against Wang Fuchen, the Qing used Han Chinese Green Standard Army soldiers and Han Chinese Generals such as Zhang Liangdong, Wang Jinbao, and Zhang Yong as the primary military forces. This choice was due to the rocky terrain, which favoured infantry troops over cavalry, to the desire to keep Bannermen in the reserves, and, again, to the belief that Han troops were better at fighting other Han people. These Han generals achieved victory over the rebels. Also due to the mountainous terrain, Sichuan and southern Shaanxi were also retaken by the Han Chinese Green Standard Army under Wang Jinbao and Zhao Liangdong in 1680, with Manchus only participating in dealing with logistics and provisions. 400,000 Green Standard Army soldiers and 150,000 Bannermen served on the Qing side during the war. 213 Han Chinese Banner companies, and 527 companies of Mongol and Manchu Banners were mobilized by the Qing during the revolt. 400,000 Green Standard Army soldiers were used against the Three Feudatories besides 200,000 Bannermen.

The okapi /oÊËkÉËpiË/ (Okapia johnstoni), is a giraffid artiodactyl mammal native to the northeast of the Democratic Republic of the Congo in Central Africa. Although the okapi bears striped markings reminiscent of zebras, it is most closely related to the giraffe.kapis are herbivores, feeding on tree leaves and buds, grasses, ferns, fruits, and fungi. Rut in males and estrus in females does not depend on the season. In captivity, estrous cycles recur every 15 days. The gestational period is around 440 to 450 days long, following which usually a single calf is born.

Ohio had the second-highest number of drug overdose deaths nationwide in 2014, a number that's soaring, according to a Centers for Disease Control and Prevention report released Friday. Heroin and prescription pain relievers took many of those 2,744 lives in Ohio. That's nearly one death every three hours last year. In Kentucky, there were more than 1,000 deaths. These grim totals placed both Ohio and Kentucky among the five states with the highest rates of drug overdose deaths as measured per 100,000 residents.

Following the fall of Wu and the turmoil of the Wu Hu uprising against the Jin dynasty (265–420), most of elite Chinese families had collaborated with the non-Chinese rulers and military conquerors in the north. Some may have lost social privilege, and took refugee in areas south to Yangtze River. Some of the Chinese refugees from north China might have resided in areas near Hangzhou. For example, the clan of Zhuge Liang (181–234), a chancellor of the state of Shu Han from Central Plain in north China during the Three Kingdoms period, gathered together at the suburb of Hangzhou, forming an exclusive, closed village Zhuge Village (Zhege Cun), consisting of villagers all with family name "Zhuge". The village has intentionally isolated itself from the surrounding communities for centuries to this day, and only recently came to be known in public. It suggests that a small number of powerful, elite Chinese refugees from the Central Plain might have taken refugee in south of the Yangtze River. However, considering the mountainous geography and relative lack of agrarian lands in Zhejiang, most of these refugees might have resided in some areas in south China beyond Zhejiang, where fertile agrarian lands and metropolitan resources were available, mainly north Jiangsu, west Fujian, Jiangxi, Hunan, Anhui,and provinces where less cohesive, organized regional governments had been in place. Metropolitan areas of Sichuan was another hub for refugees, given that the state of Shu had long been founded and ruled by political and military elites from the Central Plain and north China. Some refugees from the north China might have found residence in south China depending on their social status and military power in the north. The rump Jin state or the Southern Dynasties vied against some elite Chinese from the Central Plain and south of the Yangtze River.

The Oompa-Loompas - Roald Dahl Roald Dahl Description "'Of course they're real people,' Mr Wonka answered. 'They're Oompa-Loompas.'" - Charlie and the Chocolate Factory The Oompa-Loompas feature in two of Roald Dahl's stories: Charlie and the Chocolate Factory - which has since been adapted for two films, an opera and a stage musical - and Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator. The Oompa-Loompas are from Loompaland, which Mr Wonka describes as a terrible place. "Nothing but thick jungles infested by the most dangerous beasts in the world - hornswogglers and snozzwangers and those terrible wicked whangdoodles," he tells Charlie Bucket and the other Golden Ticket winners. Loompaland is such a terrible place that when Mr Wonka invited the Ooompa-Loompas to come back to his Chocolate Factory, they leapt at the chance. Now they live and work there, helping Mr Wonka with his experiments and generally keeping his Chocolate Factory going. The Oompa-Loompas enjoy singing and dancing. They're always making up songs. Their favourite food is the cacao bean, the central ingredient in a bar of chocolate, and in the Wonka Factory they have access to as many cacao beans as they could possibly wish for. In the original book, the Oompa-Loompas are described as "tiny" people with "funny long hair." The iconic visual representation of them having orange skin and green hair comes from the 1971 film adaptation. About Charlie and the Chocolate Factory

How Many Calories are in a Bowl of Kellogg's Cereal With 2% Milk? How Many Calories are in a Bowl of Kellogg's Cereal With 2% Milk?by WILLIAM MCCOY Oct. 03, 2017Starting your day with a bowl of cereal and milk not only provides energy and nutrients in the morning, but also reduces the chance that you might have to reach for an unhealthy midmorning snack. The calories in your bowl of Kellogg's cereal topped with 2 percent milk depend on the flavor of cereal and the size of the serving. Video of the Day Error setting up player: Invalid license key Traditional Flavors If you grew up eating Kellogg's Corn Flakes for breakfast, you might still reach for this cereal's familiar taste each morning. One cup of Corn Flakes has 100 calories. A 1 1/4-cup serving of Rice Krispies has 130 calories, while a 1-cup serving of Special K has 120 calories. Frosted Flakes, meanwhile, have 110 calories per 3/4-cup serving. Fruity Favorites Many fruit-flavored cereals have a similar number of calories to the traditional flavors. A 1-cup serving of Apple Jacks has 110 calories. The same size serving of Froot Loops also has 110 calories, while a 1-cup serving of Raisin Bran has 190 calories per cup. The calories in this cereal are notably higher than in other fruity flavors because of the raisins. With Health in Mind Kellogg's markets certain types of its cereal as being particularly healthy. These cereals aren't necessarily low in calories. All-Bran cereal, for example, has 80 calories per 1/2-cup serving. A 2/3-cup serving of Mueslix has 200 calories. The high caloric value is due to the raisins, dates and almonds in the cereal. Just Add Milk The calories in your serving of 2 percent milk depend on how much milk you pour over your cereal. If you pour 1/2 cup of milk into your bowl, you increase your breakfast's caloric value by 62 calories. If you're concerned about calories, the same amount of 1 percent milk has 51 calories, while 1/2 cup of skim milk has just 42 calories. Lose Weight.

Roundworm Infection in Cats Roundworm Infection in Cats By Ernest Ward, DVMParasites, Zoonosis & Human Health What are roundworms? Roundworms are one of the most common intestinal parasites of the cat. They can be an important cause of illness, even death, in kittens. As their name implies, these are large-bodied round worms, averaging about 3-6 inches (8-15 cm) in length. They do not attach to the wall of the intestine, as some intestinal parasites do. Instead, they are literally "swimming" freely within the intestine. The scientific name for the feline roundworm is Toxocara cati. Another less common roundworm, Toxascaris leonina, can infect both dogs and cats. Roundworms are sometimes called ascarids and the disease they cause is called ascariasis. What are the clinical signs of roundworm infection? "...large numbers may cause life-threatening problems in kittens and debilitated older cats. "Roundworms are not particularly pathogenic or harmful to adult cats, but large numbers may cause life-threatening problems in kittens and debilitated older cats. In kittens, common clinical signs include a pot-bellied appearance, abdominal discomfort, depressed appetite, vomiting and diarrhea, or poor growth. In both kittens and adult cats with small numbers of worms, there may be no clinical signs of infection. How do cats get roundworms? Trans-mammary or milk-borne infection is the major route of roundworm transmission in kittens. The immature roundworms called larvae are present in the mother's mammary glands and pass through her milk to the kittens during nursing. Both kittens and adult cats may become infected by swallowing eggs that contain infective roundworm larvae. These eggs may come from the feces of infected cats or from the tissues of paratenic hosts. In a paratenic host, the roundworm eggs do not mature into adults, but are merely transported. If a cat eats the paratenic host, the roundworm is able to complete its maturation. Common paratenic hosts for roundworms include earthworms, cockroaches, rodents and birds. The lifecycle of the roundworm is complicated. Once ingested, the larvae hatch out in the cat's gastrointestinal tract and migrate through the muscle, liver, and lungs. After several weeks, the larvae return to the intestine to mature into adults. When the adult worms begin to reproduce, eggs will pass into the cat's stool, thus completing the life cycle of the parasite. During migration, some roundworm larvae may encyst in a dormant state in the host's body. In female cats, the larvae can come out of dormancy during pregnancy and be passed to the kittens across the placenta or through the milk. How are roundworms diagnosed? To diagnose roundworm infection, a small amount of the cat's stool is mixed in a special solution that causes the eggs to float to the top of the solution. The sample is covered with a glass slide on which the floating eggs will collect, and the slide is examined under a microscope. "The distinctive eggs are easily recognized under the microscope. "The distinctive eggs are easily recognized under the microscope. Roundworm eggs are usually plentiful but, in some cases, it may take more than one fecal examination to find them. Occasionally, intact adult roundworms can be found in the cat's stool or vomit. What is the treatment for roundworms? Fortunately, the treatment for roundworms is safe, simple, and relatively inexpensive. The dead and dying roundworms pass into the stool after administration of the anthelmintic or deworming medication. Since none of these treatments will kill the immature forms of the worm or the migrating larvae, at least two or three treatments are needed; they are typically performed at two to three week intervals. Ideally, kittens are dewormed with each visit for booster vaccinations. If your adult cat goes outdoors, you may wish to administer periodic doses of an anthelmintic. What is the prognosis for a cat diagnosed with roundworms? The prognosis of a roundworm infection is good if appropriate medication is given promptly. However, in some instances, extremely debilitated kittens may die. Can I prevent my cat from getting roundworms? Prevention of roundworm infection should include the following measures: Breeding queens (females) should be dewormed prior to pregnancy and again in late pregnancy. This will reduce the risk of environmental contamination or transmission from the mother to her new kittens. "First deworming should be given at two to three weeks of age. "Kittens should be appropriately dewormed as recommended by your veterinarian. The first deworming should be given at two to three weeks of age. Note that this is prior to the time most kittens are seen for first vaccines. It is entirely appropriate to present new kittens for initial examination and deworming only. Adult cats remain at risk for re-infection with roundworms throughout their lives. Whenever roundworms are seen, the cat should be promptly dewormed. It is appropriate to routinely deworm all cats that remain at high risk for re-infection. For example, it is advisable for cats with predatory habits or indoor/outdoor cats to have a fecal examination several times a year. Many heartworm preventative products contain medications that will treat roundworm infections. This is the easiest and simplest method for preventing roundworms. Your veterinarian can advise you of the appropriate time to give these products, based on your specific geographical area. Control of insects and rodents is important since they may serve as sources of roundworm infection for cats. "Rinse the litterbox thoroughly to remove all bleach since it is toxic to cats. "Stool should be removed from litter boxes daily, if possible. Litter boxes can be cleaned with a bleach solution (one cup of chlorine bleach in one gallon of water) to facilitate removal of eggs. Rinse the litterbox thoroughly to remove all bleach since it is toxic to cats. Surfaces that may be contaminated with roundworm eggs can also be treated with this bleach solution. This solution makes the eggs easier to rinse away but does not kill the eggs. Always wash your hands after handling litterbox material. Appropriate disposal of cat and dog feces, especially from yards and playgrounds, is important. Roundworm eggs may remain viable in the environment for long periods unless they are exposed to direct sunlight or very dry conditions. Strict hygiene is especially important for children. Do not allow children to play in potentially contaminated environments. Be mindful of the risk that public parks and non-covered sandboxes pose. Even though stool may not be visible, roundworm eggs may be present. Sandboxes that have fitted covers are popular and help prevent infection of children with roundworms. Contact your animal control officials when homeless animals are found. Are roundworms a danger to my family or me? Roundworms can be a health risk for humans. The most common source of human infection is by ingesting eggs that have come from soil contaminated with cat (or dog) feces. "In suitable environments, the eggs may remain infective to humans and cats for years. "As many as 10,000 cases of roundworm infection in humans have been reported in one year in the United States. Children are at an increased risk for health problems should they become infected. A variety of organs, including the eyes, may be affected as the larvae migrate through the body. In suitable environments, the eggs may remain infective to humans and cats for years. This client information sheet is based on material written by: Ernest Ward, DVM© Copyright 2009 Lifelearn Inc.

Extra innings The longest game by innings in Major League Baseball was a 1–1 tie in the National League between the Boston Braves and the Brooklyn Robins in 26 innings, at Braves Field in Boston on May 1, 1920. It had become too dark to see the ball (fields did not have lights yet and the sun was setting), and the game was considered a draw. Played rapidly by modern standards, those 26 innings were completed in 3 hours and 50 minutes. As was the custom, the first pitch was thrown at 3:00 p.m.; home plate umpire Barry McCormick called the game as lights began appearing in the windows of buildings across the Charles River, just before 7:00 p.m.

Definition of the Biology Prefix 'Eu-' Science, Tech, Math ›Science Definition of the Biology Prefix 'Eu-'Biology prefixes and suffixes help us to understand biology terms Share Flipboard Email Print Euglena are eukaryotic protists. Gerd Guenther/Science Photo Library/Getty Imagesby Regina Bailey Updated February 12, 2018The prefix (eu-) means good, well, pleasant or true. It is derived from the Greek eu meaning well and eus meaning good. Examples Eubacteria (eu-bacteria) - kingdom in the bacteria domain. Bacteria are considered to be "true bacteria", distinguishing them from archaebacteria. Eucalyptus (eu-calyptus) - a genus of evergreen tree, commonly called gum trees, that are used for wood, oil, and gum. They are so named because their flowers are well (eu-) covered (calyptus) by a protective cap. Euchromatin (eu- chroma -tin) - a less compact form of chromatin found in the cell nucleus. Chromatin decondenses to allow DNA replication and transcription to occur. It is called true chromatin because it is the active region of the genome. Eudiometer (eu-dio-meter) - an instrument designed to test the "goodness" of air. It is used to measure gas volumes in chemical reactions. Euglena (eu-glena) - single-celled protists with a true nucleus (eukaryote) that have characteristics of both plant and animal cells. Euglobulin (eu-globulin) - a class of proteins known as true globulins because they are soluble in saline solutions but insoluble in water. Eukaryote (eu- kary -ote) - organism with cells containing a "true" membrane bound nucleus. Eukaryotic cells include animal cells, plant cells, fungi and protists. Eupepsia (eu-pepsia) - describes good digestion due to having the appropriate amount of pepsin (gastric enzyme) in gastric juice. Euphenics (eu-phenics) - the practice of making physical or biological changes in order to address a genetic disorder. The term means "good appearance" and the technique involves making phenotypic changes that don't alter a person's genotype. Euphony (eu-phony) - agreeable sounds that are pleasing to the ear. Euphotic (eu-photic) - relating to the zone or layer of a body of water that is well lit and receives enough sunlight for photosynthesis to occur in plants. Euplasia (eu-plasia) - the normal condition or state of cells and tissues. Euploid (eu-ploid) - having the correct number of chromosomes that corresponds to an exact multiple of the haploid number in a species. Diploid cells in humans have 46 chromosomes, which is twice the number found in the haploid gametes. Eupnea (eu-pnea) - good or normal breathing that is sometimes referred to as quiet or unlabored breathing. Eurythermal (eu-ry-thermal) - having the ability to tolerate a wide range of environmental temperatures. Eurythmic (eu-rythmic) - having a harmonious or pleasing rhythm. Eustress (eu-stress) - a healthy or good level of stress that is considered beneficial. Euthanasia (eu-thanasia) - the practice of ending a life in order to alleviate suffering or pain. The word literally means a "good" death. Euthyroid (eu-thyroid) - the condition of having a well functioning thyroid gland. In contrast, having an overactive thyroid is known as hyperthyroidism and having an underactive thyroid is known as hypothyroidism.

Exercise and Pulmonary Fibrosis Exercise and Pulmonary Fibrosis April 21, 2017 By Mary Ann De Pietro, B. S. CRTIf you have pulmonary fibrosis, even activities of daily living, such as showering and doing housework, may leave you short of breath. Because of the breathlessness, exercise may not be on the top of your to-do list. In fact, some people with PF may avoid physical activities as much as possible to prevent air hunger. But exercise can be beneficial for people living with pulmonary fibrosis. Exercise Benefits for People with Pulmonary Fibrosis Although exercise will not repair damaged lung tissue, it can have several benefits for people with pulmonary fibrosis. Exercise can have both physical and emotional benefits, such as: Improved cardiovascular health: Aerobic exercise can strengthen your heart. The stronger your heart is, the more efficiently it pumps blood throughout your body and utilizes the oxygen available. More energy: It might seem logical that exercise would only increase your fatigue when you have pulmonary fibrosis. But moderate exercise can have the opposite effect and help you feel more energetic. Improves muscle strength: Exercise can also improve muscle strength, which can decrease fatigue and make it easier to complete certain tasks. Improved mood: Exercise may increase the production of endorphins, which are a natural mood booster. Exercise can also help combat stress. A sense of accomplishment: When someone has a chronic disease, such as pulmonary fibrosis, it’s common to feel a loss of control. Your body may not respond how it used to, which is difficult to accept. Exercise can give you a sense of accomplishment and control. Components of an Exercise Program An exercise program for people with pulmonary fibrosis should include aerobic exercise, strength training, and flexibility exercises. Aerobic exercise can include activities which increase your heart rate, such as the treadmill, stationary bike or upper body cycle aerometry. Strength training can be done with hand weights, resistance tubing and weight machines. Flexibility exercises include stretches to increase your range of motion. Tips for Exercising with Pulmonary Fibrosis Like most things in life, you can get too much of a good thing. Light to moderate exercise that does not cause your symptoms to become worse is beneficial, but overdoing it is not helpful. It’s also important to consider the following: Get the green light from your pulmonologist: Although exercise is usually safe for people with pulmonary fibrosis, it’s always best to talk with your pulmonologist. There may be some circumstances in which you should avoid certain types of exercise or limit what you do. Progress slowly: Slow and steady is best. Increase your exercise intensity and duration gradually. Also, do what you can when you can. On days you feel stronger, do a little more. But it’s also essential to listen to your body. Don’t beat yourself up if you have a day when you can’t do as much. Consider a Pulmonary rehabilitation program: Although exercising at a fitness center or going for a daily walk may work for some people, an exercise program specifically for people with lung disease may be your best option. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs are often run by respiratory therapists and exercise physiologists who are experienced working with people with chronic lung disease, such as pulmonary fibrosis. Pulmonary rehabilitation programs usually combine instructor-led exercises classes with education on living with lung diseases. During exercise sessions, your symptoms, heart rate and oxygen levels will be monitored to alert your instructors to any problems. Pulmonary rehabilitation is an excellent way to learn more about your condition. The more information you have, the better you can manage pulmonary fibrosis. If you’re interested in locating a pulmonary rehabilitation class near you, talk to your pulmonologist. Mary Ann De Pietro, B. S. CRT is a medical writer and licensed respiratory therapist with over a decade of clinical experience. She earned degrees in both respiratory therapy and rehabilitation and currently works in a pulmonary rehabilitation program in California. Filed Under: Physical Activity

A Key Performance Indicator is something very specific and measurable that is shown to have a direct correlation to the company's overall success. For example, if your company is one that delivers packages across the country, you may find that customer satisfaction is tied to timely deliveries, and timely deliveries are tied to vehicle reliability, and vehicle reliability is tied to preventative maintenance. So, you make preventative maintenance a KPI, since you can easily measure how often your vehicles come in for it. If that measurement starts to go down, you can expect your customer satisfaction to go down. So, you keep that indicator high so that it doesn't affect the bottom line.

Calvin Veltman undertook, for the National Center for Education Statistics and for the Hispanic Policy Development Project, the most complete study of English language adoption by Hispanophone immigrants. Mr Veltman's language shift studies document high bilingualism rates and subsequent adoption of English as the preferred language of Hispanics, particularly by the young and the native-born. The complete set of these studies' demographic projections postulates the near-complete assimilation of a given Hispanophone immigrant cohort within two generations. Although his study based itself upon a large 1976 sample from the Bureau of the Census (which has not been repeated), data from the 1990 Census tend to confirm the great Anglicization of the US Hispanic American origin population.

Presidential Election of 2008 << 2004 The 56th quadrennial United States presidential election was held on November 4, 2008. Outgoing Republican President George W. Bush's policies and actions and the American public's desire for change were key issues throughout the campaign. During the presidential election campaign, the major-party candidates ran on a platform of change and reform in Washington. Domestic policy and the economy eventually emerged as the main themes in the last few months of the election campaign after the onset of the 2008 economic crisis. Democrat Barack Obama, then junior United States Senator from Illinois, defeated Republican John McCain. Nine states changed allegiance from the 2004 election. Each had voted for the Republican nominee in 2004 and contributed to Obama's sizable Electoral College victory. The selected electors from each of the 50 states and the District of Columbia voted for President and Vice President of the United States on December 15, 2008. Those votes were tallied before a joint session of Congress on January 8, 2009. Obama received 365 electoral votes, and McCain 173. There were several unique aspects of the 2008 election. The election was the first in which an African American was elected President. It was also the first time two sitting senators ran against each other. The 2008 election was the first in 56 years in which neither an incumbent president nor a vice president ran — Bush was constitutionally limited from seeking a third term by the Twenty-second Amendment; Vice President Dick Cheney chose not to seek the presidency. It was also the first time the Republican Party nominated a woman for Vice President (Sarah Palin, then-Governor of Alaska). Additionally, it was the first election in which both major parties nominated candidates who were born outside of the contiguous United States. Voter turnout for the 2008 election was the highest in at least 40 years.

Switzerland voted against membership in the European Economic Area in a referendum in December 1992 and has since maintained and developed its relationships with the European Union (EU) and European countries through bilateral agreements. In March 2001, the Swiss people refused in a popular vote to start accession negotiations with the EU. In recent years, the Swiss have brought their economic practices largely into conformity with those of the EU in many ways, in an effort to enhance their international competitiveness. The economy grew at 3% in 2010, 1.9% in 2011, and 1% in 2012. Full EU membership is a long-term objective of some in the Swiss government, but there is considerable popular sentiment against this supported by the conservative SVP party. The western French-speaking areas and the urban regions of the rest of the country tend to be more pro-EU, however with far from any significant share of the population.

Livy presents these as signs of widespread failure in Roman religio. The major prodigies included the spontaneous combustion of weapons, the apparent shrinking of the sun's disc, two moons in a daylit sky, a cosmic battle between sun and moon, a rain of red-hot stones, a bloody sweat on statues, and blood in fountains and on ears of corn: all were expiated by sacrifice of "greater victims". The minor prodigies were less warlike but equally unnatural; sheep become goats, a hen become a cock (and vice versa) – these were expiated with "lesser victims". The discovery of an androgynous four-year-old child was expiated by its drowning and the holy procession of 27 virgins to the temple of Juno Regina, singing a hymn to avert disaster: a lightning strike during the hymn rehearsals required further expiation. Religious restitution is proved only by Rome's victory.

Terminology of phylogenetic trees. This is a bifurcating tree. The vertical lines, called branches, represent a lineage, and nodes are where they diverge, representing a speciation event from a common ancestor. The trunk at the base of the tree, is actually called the root. The root node represents the most recent common ancestor of all of the taxa represented on the tree. Time is also represented, proceeding from the oldest at the bottom to the most recent at the top. What this particular tree tells us is that taxon A and taxon B are more closely related to each other than either taxon is to taxon C.

Overwatch is a team-based online multiplayer first-person shooter video game developed and published by Blizzard Entertainment . It was released in May 2016 for Windows , PlayStation 4 , and Xbox One . Overwatch assigns players into two teams of six , with each player selecting one of 24 pre-defined characters , called heroes , each with unique movement , attributes , and abilities , whose roles are divided into four categories : Offense , Defense , Tank , and Support . Players on a team work together to secure and defend control points on a map or escort a payload across the map in a limited amount of time . Players gain cosmetic rewards that do not affect gameplay , such as character skins and victory poses , as they play the game . The game was initially launched with casual play , with a competitive ranked mode , various ` arcade ' game modes , and a player-customizable server browser subsequently included following its release . Additionally , Blizzard has developed and added new characters , maps , and game modes post-release , while stating that all Overwatch updates will remain free , with the only additional cost to players being microtransactions to earn additional cosmetic rewards . Overwatch is Blizzard 's fourth major franchise and came about following the 2014 cancellation of the ambitious massively multiplayer online role-playing game Titan . A portion of the Titan team came up with the concept of Overwatch , based on the success of team-based first-person shooters like Team Fortress 2 and the growing popularity of multiplayer online battle arenas , creating a hero-based shooter that emphasized teamwork . Some elements of Overwatch borrow assets and concepts from the canceled Titan project . After establishing the narrative of an optimistic near-future Earth setting after a global crisis , the developers aimed to create a diverse cast of heroes that spanned genders and ethnicities as part of this setting . Significant time was spent adjusting the balance of the characters , making sure that new players would still be able to have fun while skilled players would present each other with a challenge . Overwatch was unveiled at BlizzCon 2014 in a fully playable state and was in a closed beta from late 2015 through early 2016 . An open beta in May 2016 drew in more than 9.7 million players . The release of the game was promoted with short animated videos to introduce the game 's narrative and each of the characters . Upon official release , Overwatch received universal acclaim from critics , who praised the game for its accessibility , diverse appeal of its hero characters , bright cartoonish art style , and enjoyable gameplay . Considered one of the best games released in 2016 , the game received numerous accolades , including being awarded Game of the Year at The Game Awards , D.I.C.E. Awards , and Game Developers Choice Awards , as well as from numerous publications . Since its release , Overwatch has become recognized as an eSport , where in addition to sponsoring tournaments , Blizzard has announced plans to help support professional league play starting in 2017 .

12 Angry Men is a 1957 American courtroom drama film adapted from a teleplay of the same name by Reginald Rose. Written and co-produced by Rose himself and directed by Sidney Lumet, this trial film tells the story of a jury made up of 12 men as they deliberate the guilt or acquittal of a defendant on the basis of reasonable doubt. In the United States, a verdict in most criminal trials by jury must be unanimous. The film is notable for its almost exclusive use of one set: out of 96 minutes of run time, only three minutes take place outside of the jury room.

International relations -LRB- IR -RRB- or international affairs , depending on academic institution , is either a field of political science , an interdisciplinary academic field similar to global studies , or an entirely independent academic discipline in which students take a variety of internationally focused courses in social science and humanities disciplines . In both cases , the field studies relationships between political entities -LRB- polities -RRB- such as states , sovereign states , empires , inter-governmental organizations -LRB- IGOs -RRB- , international non-governmental organizations -LRB- INs -RRB- , non-governmental organizations -LRB- NGOs -RRB- , and multinational corporations -LRB- MNCs -RRB- , and the wider world-systems produced by this interaction . International relations is an academic and a public policy field , and so can be positive and normative , because it analyzes and formulates the foreign policy of a given State . As political activity , international relations dates from the time of the Greek historian Thucydides -LRB- c. 460 -- 395 BC -RRB- , and , in the early 20th century , became a discrete academic field -LRB- No. 5901 in the 4-digit UNESCO Nomenclature -RRB- within political science . In practice International Relations and International Affairs forms a separate academic program or field from Political Science , and the courses taught therein are highly interdisciplinary . For example , international relations draws from the fields of : technology and engineering , economics , communication studies , history , international law , demography , philosophy , geography , social work , sociology , anthropology , criminology , psychology , gender studies , cultural studies , culturology , and diplomacy . The scope of international relations comprehends globalization , diplomatic relations , state sovereignty , international security , ecological sustainability , nuclear proliferation , nationalism , economic development , global finance , as well as terrorism and organized crime , human security , foreign interventionism , and human rights , as well , as , more recently , comparative religion .

A number of writing systems have been used over the years for transcribing the language. Of these, the Somali alphabet is the most widely used, and has been the official writing script in Somalia since the government of former President of Somalia Mohamed Siad Barre formally introduced it in October 1972. The script was developed by the Somali linguist Shire Jama Ahmed specifically for the Somali language, and uses all letters of the English Latin alphabet except p, v and z. Besides Ahmed's Latin script, other orthographies that have been used for centuries for writing Somali include the long-established Arabic script and Wadaad's writing. Indigenous writing systems developed in the twentieth century include the Osmanya, Borama and Kaddare scripts, which were invented by Osman Yusuf Kenadid, Abdurahman Sheikh Nuur and Hussein Sheikh Ahmed Kaddare, respectively.

Photosynthetic pigment Like plants, the cyanobacteria use water as an electron donor for photosynthesis and therefore liberate oxygen; they also use chlorophyll as a pigment. In addition, most cyanobacteria use phycobiliproteins, water-soluble pigments which occur in the cytoplasm of the chloroplast, to capture light energy and pass it on to the chlorophylls. (Some cyanobacteria, the prochlorophytes, use chlorophyll b instead of phycobilin.) It is thought that the chloroplasts in plants and algae all evolved from cyanobacteria.

An influential school of phonology in the interwar period was the Prague school. One of its leading members was Prince Nikolai Trubetzkoy, whose Grundzüge der Phonologie (Principles of Phonology), published posthumously in 1939, is among the most important works in the field from this period. Directly influenced by Baudouin de Courtenay, Trubetzkoy is considered the founder of morphophonology, although this concept had also been recognized by de Courtenay. Trubetzkoy also developed the concept of the archiphoneme. Another important figure in the Prague school was Roman Jakobson, who was one of the most prominent linguists of the 20th century.

Education in Canada Education is compulsory up to the age of 16 in every province in Canada, except for Manitoba, Ontario and New Brunswick, where the compulsory age is 18, or as soon as a high school diploma has been achieved. In some provinces early leaving exemptions can be granted under certain circumstances at 14. Canada generally has 190 (180 in Quebec) school days in the year, officially starting from September (after Labour Day) to the end of June (usually the last Friday of the month, except in Quebec when it is just before June 24 – the provincial holiday). In British Columbia secondary schools, there are 172 school days during a school year. (2013-2014).[19] In Alberta, high school students get an additional four weeks off to accommodate for exam break; two weeks in January, and two in June. Classes typically end on the 15th of those two months.

Pound (mass) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the unit of force, see Pound (force)."lb." redirects here. For other uses, see LB."lbs." redirects here. For other uses, see LBS. The pound or pound-mass is a unit of mass used in the imperial, United States customary and other systems of measurement. Various definitions have been used; the most common today is the international avoirdupois pound, which is legally defined as exactly 0.453 592 37 kilograms, and which is divided into 16 avoirdupois ounces. [1] The international standard symbol for the avoirdupois pound is lb; [2] an alternative symbol is lb m [3] (for most pound definitions), # ( chiefly in the U. S. ), and ℔ [4] or ″̶ [5] (specifically for the apothecaries' pound ). The unit is descended from the Roman libra (hence the abbreviation "lb"). The English word pound is cognate with, among others, German Pfund, Dutch pond, and Swedish pund. All ultimately derive from a borrowing into Proto-Germanic of the Latin expression lībra pondō ("a pound by weight"), in which the word pondō is the ablative case of the Latin noun pondus ("weight"). [6]Usage of the unqualified term pound reflects the historical conflation of mass and weight. This accounts for the modern distinguishing terms pound-mass and pound-force.

Since 1 July 1959, the international avoirdupois pound (symbol lb) has been defined as exactly 0.453 592 37 kg. [7] [8]In the United Kingdom, the use of the international pound was implemented in the Weights and Measures Act 1963. [9]The yard or the metre shall be the unit of measurement of length and the pound or the kilogram shall be the unit of measurement of mass by reference to which any measurement involving a measurement of length or mass shall be made in the United Kingdom; and- (a) the yard shall be 0.9144 metre exactly; (b) the pound shall be 0.453 592 37 kilogram exactly.— Weights and Measures Act, 1963, Section 1 (1)An avoirdupois pound is equal to 16 avoirdupois ounces and to exactly 7,000 grains. The conversion factor between the kilogram and the international pound was therefore chosen to be divisible by 7, and an (international) grain is thus equal to exactly 64.798 91 milligrams. In the UK, the process of metrication and European units of measurement directives were expected to eliminate the use of the pound and ounce, but in 2007 the European Commission abandoned the requirement for metric-only labelling on packaged goods there, and allowed for dual metric–imperial marking to continue indefinitely. [10] [11] When used as a measurement of body weight the UK practice remains to use the stone of 14 pounds as the primary measure e.g. "11 stone 4 pounds", rather than "158 pounds" (as done in the US), [12] or "72 kilograms" as used elsewhere. The US has not adopted the metric system [13] despite many efforts to do so, and the pound remains widely used as one of the key United States customary units. Historic use [ edit]Comparison of the relative sizes of avoirdupois, troy, Tower, merchant and London pounds. Historically, in different parts of the world, at different points in time, and for different applications, the pound (or its translation) has referred to broadly similar but not identical standards of mass or force. [14]Roman libra [ edit]Various historic pounds from a German textbook dated 1848The libra (Latin for "scales / balance") is an ancient Roman unit of mass that was equivalent to approximately 328.9 grams. [15] [16] [17] It was divided into 12 unciae (singular: uncia ), or ounces. The libra is the origin of the abbreviation for pound, "lb". In Britain [ edit]A number of different definitions of the pound have historically been used in Britain. Amongst these were the avoirdupois pound and the obsolete Tower, merchant's and London pounds. [18] Troy pounds and ounces remain in use only for the weight of certain precious metals, especially in the trade; these are normally quoted just in ounces (e.g. "500 ounces") and, when the type of ounce is not explicitly stated, the troy system is assumed. Historically, the pound sterling was a Tower pound of silver. In 1528, the standard was changed to the Troy pound. English pounds Unitv t e Pounds Ounces Grains Metric Avdp.

It was initially equal to 6992 troy grains. The pound avoirdupois was divided into 16 ounces. During the reign of Queen Elizabeth, the avoirdupois pound was redefined as 7,000 troy grains. Since then, the grain has often been an integral part of the avoirdupois system. By 1758, two Elizabethan Exchequer standard weights for the avoirdupois pound existed, and when measured in troy grains they were found to be of 7,002 grains and 6,999 grains. [19] [20]Imperial Standard Pound [ edit]In the United Kingdom, weights and measures have been defined by a long series of Acts of Parliament, the intention of which has been to regulate the sale of commodities. Materials traded in the marketplace are quantified according to accepted units and standards in order to avoid fraud. The standards themselves are legally defined so as to facilitate the resolution of disputes brought to the courts; only legally defined measures will be recognised by the courts. Quantifying devices used by traders (weights, weighing machines, containers of volumes, measures of length) are subject to official inspection, and penalties apply if they are fraudulent. The Weights and Measures Act of 1878 marked a major overhaul of the British system of weights and measures, and the definition of the pound given there remained in force until the 1960s. The pound was defined thus (Section 4) "The ... platinum weight ... deposited in the Standards department of the Board of Trade ... shall continue to be the imperial standard of ... weight ... and the said platinum weight shall continue to be the Imperial Standard for determining the Imperial Standard Pound for the United Kingdom". Paragraph 13 states that the weight in vacuo of this standard shall be called the Imperial Standard Pound, and that all other weights mentioned in the act and permissible for commerce shall be ascertained from it alone. The First Schedule of the Act gave more details of the standard pound: it is a platinum cylinder nearly 1.35 inches (34 mm) high, and 1.15 inches (29 mm) diameter, and the edges are carefully rounded off. It has a groove about 0.34 inches (8.6 mm) from the top, to allow the cylinder to be lifted using an ivory fork. It was constructed following the destruction of the Houses of Parliament by fire in 1834, and is stamped P. S. 1844, 1 lb (P. S. stands for "Parliamentary Standard"). This definition of the Imperial pound remains unchanged. Relationship to the kilogram [ edit]The 1878 Act said that contracts worded in terms of metric units would be deemed by the courts to be made according to the Imperial units defined in the Act, and a table of metric equivalents was supplied so that the Imperial equivalents could be legally calculated. This defined, in UK law, metric units in terms of Imperial ones. The equivalence for the pound was given as 1 lb = 453.592 65 g or 0.45359 kg, which made the kilogram equivalent to about 2.204 6213 lb. In 1883, it was determined jointly by the Standards Department of the Board of Trade and the Bureau International that 0.453 592 4277 kg was a better approximation, and this figure, rounded to 0.453 592 43 kg was given legal status by an Order in Council in May 1898. [21]However, in 1963, a new Weights and Measures Act reversed this relationship and the pound was defined for the first time as a mass equal to 0.453 592 37 kg to match the definition of the international pound agreed in 1959. Troy pound [ edit]Main article: Troy weight A troy pound is equal to 12 troy ounces and to 5,760 grains, that is exactly 373.241 7216 grams. [22] Troy weights were used in England by jewellers. Apothecaries also used the troy pound and ounce, but added the drachms and scruples unit in the Apothecaries' system of weights. Troy weight may take its name from the French market town of Troyes in France where English merchants traded at least as early as the early 9th century. [23]The troy pound is no longer in general use or a legal unit for trade (it was abolished in the United Kingdom on 6 January 1879 by the Weights and Measures Act of 1878), but the troy ounce, 1⁄ 12 of a troy pound, is still used for measurements of gems such as opals, and precious metals such as silver, platinum and particularly gold. [24]Tower pound [ edit]Main article: Anglo-Saxon pound The Tower pound The system called Tower weight was the more general name for King Offa's pound. This dates to 757 AD and was based on the silver penny. This in turn was struck over Arabic dirhams (2d). The pound was based on the weight of 120 Arabic silver dirhams, which have been found in Offa's Dyke. The same coin weight was used throughout the Hanseatic League. [ citation needed]The Tower pound was also called the Moneyers' Pound (referring to the Saxon moneyers before the Conquest), [25] the easterling pound, which may refer to traders of eastern Germany, or to traders on the shore of the eastern Baltic sea, or dealers of Asiatic goods who settled at the Steelyard wharf; [26] and the Rochelle Pound by French writers, because it was also in use at Rochelle. [27] An almost identical weight was employed by the Germans for weighing gold and silver. The mercantile pound (1304) of 6750 troy grains, or 9600 Tower grains, derives from this pound, as 25 shilling-weights or 15 Tower ounces, for general commercial use. Multiple pounds based on the same ounce were quite common. In much of Europe, the apothecaries' and commercial pounds were different numbers of the same ounce. [ citation needed]The Tower system was referenced to a standard prototype found in the Tower of London and ran concurrently with the avoirdupois and troy systems until the reign of Henry VIII, when a royal proclamation dated 1526 required that the troy pound to be used for mint purposes instead of the Tower pound. [28] No standards of the Tower pound are known to have survived. [29]The Tower pound was equivalent to about 350 grams. [30] [31]1 mercantile pound (15 oz) = 9,600 Tower grains = 6,750 troy grains1 Tower pound (12 oz) = 7,680 Tower grains = 5,400 troy grains1 Tower ounce (20 dwt) = 640 Tower grains = 450 troy grains1 Tower pennyweight (dwt) = 32 Tower grains = 22 1⁄ 2 troy grains Merchants' pound [ edit]The merchants' pound ( mercantile pound, libra mercantoria, or commercial pound) was considered to be composed of 25 rather than 20 Tower shillings of 12 pence. [32] It was equal to 9,600 wheat grains (15 tower ounces or 6,750 grains) [23] and was used in England until the 14th century [23] for goods other than money and medicine (" electuaries "). [32]London pound [ edit]The London pound is that of the Hansa, as used in their various trading places. The London pound is based on 16 ounces, each ounce divided as the tower ounce. It never became a legal standard in England; the use of this pound waxed and waned with the influence of the Hansa itself. A London pound was equal to 7,200 troy grains (16 troy ounces) or, equivalently, 10,240 tower grains (16 tower ounces).1 London pound (16 oz) = 1 1⁄ 3 tower (or troy) pounds = 10,240 tower grains = 7,200 troy grains1 London ounce (20 dwt) = 1 tower (or troy) ounce = 640 tower grains = 450 troy grains1 London pennyweight = 1 tower (or troy) pennyweight = 32 tower grains = 22 1⁄ 2 troy grains In the United States [ edit]In the United States, the avoirdupois pound as a unit of mass has been officially defined in terms of the kilogram since the Mendenhall Order of 1893. That Order defined the pound to be 2.204 62 pounds to a kilogram. The following year, this relationship was refined as 2.204 622 34 pounds to a kilogram, following a determination of the British pound. [21]According to a 1959 NIST publication, the United States 1894 pound differed from the international pound by approximately one part in 10 million. [1] The difference is so insignificant that it can be ignored for almost all practical purposes. [33]Byzantine litra [ edit]Main article: Byzantine units of measurement § Weight The Byzantines used a series of measurements known as pounds ( Latin: libra, Greek: λίτρα, litra ). The most common was the logarikē litra (λογαρική λίτρα, "pound of account"), established by Constantine the Great in 309/310. It formed the basis of the Byzantine monetary system, with one litra of gold equivalent to 72 solidi. A hundred litrai were known as a kentēnarion (κεντηνάριον, "hundredweight"). Its weight seems to have decreased gradually from the original 324 grams to 319. Due to its association with gold, it was also known as the chrysaphikē litra (χρυσαφική λίτρα, "gold pound") or thalassia litra (θαλάσσια λίτρα, "maritime pound"), but it could also be used as a measure of land, equalling a fortieth of the thalassios modios. [34]The soualia litra was specifically used for weighing olive oil or wood, and corresponded to 4/5 of the logarikē, i.e. 256 g. Some outlying regions, especially in later times, adopted various local measures, based on Italian, Arab or Turkish measures. The most important of these was the argyrikē litra (αργυρική λίτρα, "silver pound") of 333 g, found in Trebizond and Cyprus, and probably of Arab origin. [34]French livre [ edit]See also: French units of measurement Since the Middle Ages, various pounds ( livre) have been used in France. Since the 19th century, a livre has referred to the metric pound, 500g. The livre esterlin was equivalent to about 367.1 grams (5,665 gr) and was used between the late 9th century and the mid-14th century. [35]The livre poids de marc or livre de Paris was equivalent to about 489.5 grams (7,555 gr) and was used between the 1350s and the late 18th century. [35] It was introduced by the government of John II. The livre métrique was set equal to the kilogram by the decree of 13 Brumaire an IX between 1800 and 1812. This was a form of official metric pound. [35]The livre usuelle (customary unit) was defined as 500 grams by the decree of 28 March 1812. It was abolished as a unit of mass effective 1 January 1840 by a decree of 4 July 1837, [35] but is still used informally. German and Austrian Pfund [ edit]Originally derived from the Roman libra, the definition varied throughout Germany in the Middle Ages and onward. The measures and weights of the Habsburg monarchy were reformed in 1761 by Empress Maria Theresia of Austria. [36] The unusually heavy Habsburg (civil) pound of 16 ounces was later defined in terms of 560.012 grams. Bavarian reforms in 1809 and 1811 adopted essentially the same standard pound. In Prussia, a reform in 1816 defined a uniform civil pound in terms of the Prussian foot and distilled water, resulting in a Prussian pound of 467.711 grams. Between 1803 and 1815, all German regions west of the River Rhine were French, organised in the departements: Roer, Sarre, Rhin-et-Moselle, and Mont-Tonnerre. As a result of the Congress of Vienna, these became part of various German states. However, many of these regions retained the metric system and adopted a metric pound of precisely 500 grams. In 1854, the pound of 500 grams also became the official mass standard of the German Customs Union, but local pounds continued to co-exist with the Zollverein pound for some time in some German states. Nowadays, the term Pfund is still in common use and universally refers to a pound of 500 grams. Russian funt [ edit]The Russian pound (Фунт, funt) is an obsolete Russian unit of measurement of mass. It is equal to 409.51718 grams. [37] In 1899, the Russian pound was the basic unit of weight and all other units of weight were formed from it. Skålpund [ edit]The Skålpund was a Scandinavian measurement that varied in weight between regions. From the 17th century onward, it was equal to 425.076 grams in Sweden but was abandoned in 1889 when Sweden switched to the metric system. In Norway, the same name was used for a weight of 498.1 grams. In Denmark, it equalled 471 grams. In the 19th century, Denmark followed Germany's lead and redefined the pound as 500 grams. Jersey pound [ edit]A Jersey pound is an obsolete unit of mass used on the island of Jersey from the 14th century to the 19th century. It was equivalent to about 7,561 grains (490 grams). It may have been derived from the French livre poids de marc. [38]Trone pound [ edit]The trone pound is one of a number of obsolete Scottish units of measurement. It was equivalent to between 21 and 28 avoirdupois ounces (about 600-800 grams). Metric pounds [ edit]In many countries, upon the introduction of a metric system, the pound (or its translation) became an informal term for 500 grams. In German, the term is Pfund, in French livre, in Dutch pond, in Spanish and Portuguese libra, in Italian libbra, and in Danish and Swedish pund. Though not from the same linguistic origin, the Chinese jīn ( 斤, also known as " catty ") has a modern definition of exactly 500 grams, divided into 10 liǎng ( 两 ). Traditionally about 605 grams, the jin has been in use for more than two thousand years, serving the same purpose as "pound" for the common-use measure of weight. Hundreds of older pounds were replaced in this way. Examples of the older pounds are one of around 459 to 460 grams in Spain, Portugal, and Latin America; one of 498.1 grams in Norway; and several different ones in what is now Germany. Although the use of the pound as an informal term persists in these countries to a varying degree, scales and measuring devices are denominated only in grams and kilograms. A pound of product must be determined by weighing the product in grams as the use of the pound is not sanctioned for trade within the European Union. [39]Use in weaponry [ edit]Smoothbore cannon and carronades are designated by the weight in imperial pounds of round solid iron shot of diameter to fit the barrel. A cannon that fires a six-pound ball, for example, is called a six-pounder. Standard sizes are 6, 12, 18, 24, 32 and 42 pounds; 68-pounders also exist, and other nonstandard weapons use the same scheme. See carronade. A similar definition, using lead balls, exists for determining the gauge of shotguns. Notes [ edit]^ a b United States National Bureau of Standards (1959-06-25).

carbon & tree facts Trees recharge ground water and sustain stream flow.see more carbon & tree facts!Problem: CO2 levels are at an all-time high and are continuing to increase. Fact: Increased levels of CO2 can lead to healthier plants and trees Fact: A single young tree can absorb 26 pounds of CO2 per year SOLUTION: Increase the number of acres of plants and trees to absorb CO2carbon & tree facts Carbon Facts CO2 concentrations have risen by 25% to possibly over 39% over the last century. CO2 can be neutralized by trees. CO2 is fixed in trees and vegetation through photosynthesis. CO2 makes plants more resistant to extreme weather. CO2 makes trees healthier and easier to manage. Increased CO2 levels can help trees, that are properly managed, grow in drought conditions by increasing photosynthesis.100 metric tons of CO2 can accumulate in one acre of forest over time. Each person generates approximately 2.3 tons of CO2 per year. The carbon footprints of 18 average Americans can be neutralized by one acre of hardwood trees. Managed forests accumulate more carbon per acre than unmanaged forests. Tree Facts A single tree can absorb CO2 at a rate of 48 lb. per year. Trees act as natural pollutionfilters by absorbing pollutants through the stomates in leaf surfaces. Trees lower temperature by transpiring water and shading surfaces. Trees reduce heat sinks. Heat sinks are 6-19 degrees F warmer than the surrounding area. Trees reduce erosion. An acre of trees absorbs enough CO2 over one year to equal the amount produced by driving a car 26,000 miles. Trees provide food and wildlife habitats. Planting trees remains one of the cheapest, most effective means of drawing excess CO2 from the atmosphere. Trees recharge ground water and sustain stream flow. One large tree strategically placed in a yard can replace 10 room-size air conditioners operating 20 hours per day. "The future is literally in our hands to mold as we like. But we cannot wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow is now." --Eleanor Roosevelt Our lifestyle change over the decades is one of the causes of this problem. And there has never been a better time to make changes today to bring the increased CO2 percentages down. AEA projects are designed to bring balance back to our eco-system by using the increased levels of CO2 to the Earth's advantage.

Do I Cook Ribs Before Putting Them on the Grill? Do I Cook Ribs Before Putting Them on the Grill? Related Articles1 How to Cook Wild Boar Ribs2 How to Barbecue Baby-Back Ribs3 How to Smoke Ribs With a Gas Smoker4 How to Barbecue Spare Ribs Ribs are among the most iconic of barbecue foods, but novice backyard chefs often find them troublesome. The muscles that line the ribs are tender when cooked properly, but cooking them directly on the grill can easily produce a frustratingly tough, inedible result. The trick is slow-cooking the ribs until tender, either on the grill or before grilling. Simmering the Ribs A common method of precooking ribs is to simmer them until they are tender, then finish them on the grill. Advocates look on simmering as an opportunity to add flavor to the ribs with herbs and spices, while detractors argue that liquid cooking leaches out more flavor than it puts in. Simmering cooks out much of the ribs' fat but also some of their nutrition. Critics also argue that the ribs' texture suffers, being too soft at the end. If you use this technique, it's important to remember that simmering tenderizes ribs, but a full boil makes them tougher. Slow Roasting the Ribs Another way to precook ribs for the grill is in your oven or slow cooker. Season the ribs ahead of time with a dry rub made from herbs and spices or dried spicy dip mix, then place them on a sheet pan or in your slow cooker. Use the low setting on the slow cooker, or preheat your oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit. Slow-roast the ribs until they are nearly fork-tender, usually for 2 1/2 to 4 hours depending on the size of the rack. Transfer the ribs to your grill, and finish them over direct heat with your favorite sauce. Indirect Grilling It's possible to slow-cook the ribs from start to finish on your grill, using indirect heat. Preheat your gas grill to 250 degrees F, with flame on only one side of the grill. If you use charcoal, set all the coals on one side of the kettle. Place the ribs on the other side of the grill. To make lots of ribs at one time, buy a rack that holds them vertically. Close the lid and slow-cook the ribs until fork-tender, usually for three to four hours. Use smoke chips at the beginning of the cooking time, and add your favorite sauce at the end. Closed Charcoal Kettle For the best possible ribs, dedicated backyard chefs invest in a higher-end charcoal burning kettle cooker. These heavy-duty cooker/smokers can be regulated to maintain temperatures as low as 200 degrees F, perfect for ribs, and the addition of a few hardwood chips to the coals will give a deep, smoky flavor to the meat. Season the ribs with a dry rub beforehand, and let them cook for up to four hours at that temperature before opening the cooker. Finish the ribs in the open kettle, at higher temperature, with your favorite sauce.

In boundary scan testing, test circuits integrated into various ICs on the board form temporary connections between the PCB traces to test that the ICs are mounted correctly. Boundary scan testing requires that all the ICs to be tested use a standard test configuration procedure, the most common one being the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) standard. The JTAG test architecture provides a means to test interconnects between integrated circuits on a board without using physical test probes. JTAG tool vendors provide various types of stimulus and sophisticated algorithms, not only to detect the failing nets, but also to isolate the faults to specific nets, devices, and pins.

In regular cryptography, you use the same key for encryption and decryption. If that key is compromised, you can both create and read all the messages made using it. With a public key system like PGP uses, there are two keys, one to encrypt and one to decrypt, and knowing one doesn't easily let you figure out the other. One key is called the public key, and that is widely published, and the other is the private key, which is kept secret. If you want to send me a message, you look up my public key, encrypt, and the result is a message anyone can make but only I can read. It works the other way, too. If I encrypt a message with my private key, the result is a message anyone could read, using my public, but only I could have written. That's one way to create a digital signature. What's cool is we can use both at the same time. You create a message, encrypt it with your private key, then encrypt it again with my public key. The result is a message only I can read, and only you could have written.

SparkNotes: The Power and the Glory: Plot Overview The Power and the Glory Graham Greene Context Character List At the beginning of the novel, the priest is waiting for a boat that will take him out of the capital city. He is on the run from the police because religion has been outlawed in his state and he is the last remaining clergyman. While talking to a man named Mr. Tench, he is summoned to a dying woman's house and misses his boat. He hides out in a barn on the estate of a plantation owner, befriending the owner's daughter. Forced to move on, he heads to a village in which he used to live and work as pastor. There he meets Maria, a woman with whom he has had a brief affair, and Brigida, his illegitimate daughter. He spends the night in the town and wakes before dawn to say mass for the villagers. The lieutenant—a sworn enemy of all r eligion—arrives at the end of mass, leading a group of policemen in search of the priest, and the priest goes out to the town square to face his enemy. No one in the village turns him in, however, and the lieutenant does not realize that he has foun d the man he is looking for. Instead, the lieutenant takes a hostage, whom he says he will execute if he finds that the villagers have been lying to him about the whereabouts of the wanted man. The priest heads to the town of Carmen, and on the way he meets a man known simply as the mestizo. Uninvited, the mestizo accompanies the priest on his journey, and it very soon becomes clear that he is an untrustworthy figure, and most likely interes ted in following the priest so that he can turn him in and collect the reward money. The priest finally admits that he is, indeed, a priest. But the mestizo, who has become feverish by the second day of their journey together, does not have the strength t o follow the priest when he veers off course. The priest knows that if he enters Carmen he will surely be captured, and he lets the mestizo ride on towards the town by himself. The priest then backtracks to the capital city. He is in disguise, wearing a drill suit, and he tries to procure a bottle of wine so he can say mass. He meets a beggar who takes him to a hotel and introduces him to a man who says he can supply him with th e wine. The man arrives and sells the priest a bottle of wine and a bottle of brandy. But, taking advantage of the priest's offer to share a drink with him, the man proceeds to drink the entire bottle of wine, thwarting the priest's plan. The priest then leaves the hotel but is caught with the bottle of brandy by a state official. After a lengthy chase through the streets of the town, during which the priest unsuccessfully attempts to take refuge at the house of Padre Jose, he is caught and taken to j ail. In jail he speaks with the prisoners, admitting to them that he is a priest. A pious woman, in jail for having religious articles in her home, argues with the priest. The next day, the priest is ordered to clean out the cells and, while doing so, meets the mestizo again. But the mestizo decides not to turn the priest in to the authorities. The priest has another face-to-face encounter with the lieutenant, but again goes unrecognized, and is allowed to go free. The priest spends a night at the abandoned estate of the Fellows and then moves on to an abandoned village. He meets an Indian woman whose son has been shot and killed by the gringo, an American outlaw who is also on the run from police. He accompanie s the woman to a burial ground and then leaves her there. Fatigued, and almost completely drained of the will to live, the priest staggers on, eventually coming upon a man named Mr. Lehr who informs him that he is out of danger, having crossed the bor der into a neighboring state where religion is not outlawed. After spending a few days at the home of Mr. Lehr, the priest prepares to leave for Las Casas. But before he can depart, the mestizo arrives, informing him that the gringo has been mortally wounded by the police and is asking for someone to come and hear his confession. The priest, aware that he is walking into a tr

A major feature is the calypso competition. Calypso music, originating in Trinidad, uses syncopated rhythm and topical lyrics. It offers a medium in which to satirise local politics, amidst the general bacchanal. Calypso tents, also originating in Trinidad, feature cadres of musicians who perform biting social commentaries, political exposés or rousing exhortations to "wuk dah waistline" and "roll dat bumper". The groups compete for the Calypso Monarch Award, while the air is redolent with the smells of Bajan cooking during the Bridgetown Market Street Fair. The Cohobblopot Festival blends dance, drama and music with the crowning of the King and Queen of costume bands. Every evening the "Pic-o-de-Crop" Show is performed after the King of Calypso is finally crowned. The climax of the festival is Kadooment Day celebrated with a national holiday when costume bands fill the streets with pulsating Barbadian rhythms and fireworks.

Because the fibers that make up the material condense/draw closer together due to water's cohesive (water sticks to water) and adhesive (water sticks to non-water) properties. When a substance made of fibers has spaces in between it, that allows light to pass through it easier, even if the spaces are too small to see! However, as water "shrinks" or condenses the fabric, it closes those spaces that allows light through and it seems darker. (You have a concerning username)

The first PCBs used through-hole technology, mounting electronic components by leads inserted through holes on one side of the board and soldered onto copper traces on the other side. Boards may be single-sided, with an unplated component side, or more compact double-sided boards, with components soldered on both sides. Horizontal installation of through-hole parts with two axial leads (such as resistors, capacitors, and diodes) is done by bending the leads 90 degrees in the same direction, inserting the part in the board (often bending leads located on the back of the board in opposite directions to improve the part's mechanical strength), soldering the leads, and trimming off the ends.

Financial crisis of 2007–2008 The bursting of the US housing bubble, which peaked at the end of 2006,[23][24] caused the values of securities tied to US real estate pricing to plummet, damaging financial institutions globally.[25][26] The financial crisis was triggered by a complex interplay of policies that encouraged home ownership, providing easier access to loans for subprime borrowers; overvaluation of bundled subprime mortgages based on the theory that housing prices would continue to escalate; questionable trading practices on behalf of both buyers and sellers; compensation structures that prioritize short-term deal flow over long-term value creation; and a lack of adequate capital holdings from banks and insurance companies to back the financial commitments they were making.[27][28][29][30] Questions regarding bank solvency, declines in credit availability, and damaged investor confidence affected global stock markets, where securities suffered large losses during 2008 and early 2009. Economies worldwide slowed during this period, as credit tightened and international trade declined.[31] Governments and central banks responded with unprecedented fiscal stimulus, monetary policy expansion and institutional bailouts.[32] In the US, Congress passed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Chicken Help Categories: All All > Chicken Facts All > Chicken Health > Not Laying Q: At what age do hens start laying eggs? A: On average, pullets, or juvenile hens, start laying eggs at about 6 months of age, depending on the breed. Larger, heavier birds like Wyandottes, Plymouth Rocks and Orpingtons will lay on the later side whereas lighter, smaller breeds like Leghorns, Stars, and Australorps will start laying sooner. However, if your birds come into maturity at the coldest, darkest part of the year, they will sometimes not begin laying until spring: six months is just the average! We guarantee you that every day past five months that they haven't begun to lay will seem like an eternity! There are a number of reasons your chickens might not be laying, though, so if you suspect there's something more to it than this, have a look at this list of other possible reasons your chickens aren't laying.

Dermatology From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search For the journal, see Dermatology (journal). "Dermatologic surgery" redirects here. For the journal, see Dermatologic Surgery (journal). Dermatology Dermatology System Skin Significant diseases Skin cancer, Skin infections, eczemas Significant tests Skin biopsy Specialist Dermatologist Dermatology (from ancient Greek δέρμα, derma which means skin and λογία, logia) is the branch of medicine dealing with the skin, nails, hair and its diseases. [1] [2] It is a specialty with both medical and surgical aspects. [3] [4] [5] A dermatologist treats diseases, in the widest sense, [6] and some cosmetic problems of the skin, scalp, hair, and nails. [2] [7]Contents [ hide ]1 Etymology2 History3 Training3.1 United States3.2 United Kingdom4 Fields4.1 Cosmetic dermatology4.2 Dermatopathology4.3 Immunodermatology4.4 Mohs surgery4.5 Pediatric dermatology4.6 Teledermatology4.7 Dermatoepidemiology5 Therapies6 See also7 References8 External links Etymology [ edit]Attested in English in 1819, the word dermatology derives from the Greek δέρματος ( dermatos ), genitive of δέρμα ( derma ), "skin" [8] (itself from δέρω dero, "to flay" [9]) and -λογία -logia. History [ edit]Main article: History of dermatology Readily visible alterations of the skin surface have been recognized since the dawn of history, with some being treated, and some not. [ citation needed] In 1801 the first great school of dermatology became a reality at the famous Hôpital Saint-Louis in Paris, while the first textbooks (Willan's, 1798–1808) and atlases ( Alibert's, 1806–1814) appeared in print during the same period of time. [10]Training [ edit]Dermatologist Occupation Names Doctor, Medical Specialist Specialty Activity sectors Medicine Description Education required Doctor of Medicine (M. D.) or Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D. O.) or Bachelor of Medicine, Bachelor of Surgery Fields of employment Hospitals, Clinics The examples and perspective in this article deal primarily with Western culture and do not represent a worldwide view of the subject. You may improve this article, discuss the issue on the talk page, or create a new article, as appropriate. (November 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)United States [ edit]After earning a medical degree ( M. D. or D. O. ), the length of training in the United States for a general dermatologist to be eligible for Board Certification by the American Academy of Dermatology, American Board of Dermatology or the American Osteopathic Board of Dermatology is a total of four years. This training consists of an initial medical, transitional, surgical, or pediatric intern year followed by a three-year dermatology residency. [2] [11] [12] Following this training, one- or two- year post-residency fellowships are available in immunodermatology, phototherapy, laser medicine, Mohs micrographic surgery, cosmetic surgery, dermatopathology, or pediatric dermatology. For the past several years, dermatology residency positions in the United States have been one of the most competitive to obtain. [13] [14] [15]United Kingdom [ edit]In the UK, a dermatologist is a medically qualified practitioner who has gone on to specialize in medicine and then sub-specialize in dermatology. This involves: Medical school for five years to obtain an MBBS, MBBCh or MB, BChir degree One year of house jobs before becoming fully registered as a medical practitioner Two to three years training in general medicine to obtain a higher degree in medicine and become a member of the Royal College of Physicians Having obtained the MRCP examination, applying to become a Specialty Registrar (St R) in Dermatology and training for four years in dermatology Passing the Specialty Certificate Examination (SCE) in Dermatology before the end of training Upon successful completion of the four-year training period, the doctor becomes an accredited dermatologist and is able to apply for a consultant hospital post as a consultant dermatologist. Fields [ edit]Cosmetic dermatology [ edit]A Cosmetic dermatology unit in SM City North Edsa, Philippines Dermatologists have been leaders in the field of cosmetic surgery. [16] Some dermatologists complete fellowships in surgical dermatology. Many are trained in their residency on the use of botulinum toxin, fillers, and laser surgery. Some dermatologists perform cosmetic procedures including liposuction, blepharoplasty, and face lifts. [17] [18] Most dermatologists limit their cosmetic practice to minimally invasive procedures. Despite an absence of formal guidelines from the American Board of Dermatology, many cosmetic fellowships are offered in both surgery and laser medicine. [19]Dermatopathology [ edit]A dermatolopathologist is a pathologist or dermatologist who specializes in the pathology of the skin. This field is shared by dermatologists and pathologists. Usually a dermatologist or pathologist will complete one year of dermatopathology fellowship. This usually includes six months of general pathology, and six months of dermatopathology. [20] Alumni of both specialties can qualify as dermatopathologists. At the completion of a standard residency in dermatology, many dermatologists are also competent at dermatopathology. Some dermatopathologists qualify to sit for their examinations by completing a residency in dermatology and one in pathology. Immunodermatology [ edit]This field specializes in the treatment of immune-mediated skin diseases such as lupus, bullous pemphigoid, pemphigus vulgaris, and other immune-mediated skin disorders. [21] Specialists in this field often run their own immunopathology labs. [ citation needed]Mohs surgery [ edit]Main article: Mohs surgery The dermatologic subspecialty called Mohs surgery focuses on the excision of skin cancers using a tissue-sparing technique that allows intraoperative assessment of 100% of the peripheral and deep tumor margins developed in the 1930s by Dr. Frederic E. Mohs. The procedure is defined as a type of CCPDMA processing. Physicians trained in this technique must be comfortable with both pathology and surgery, and dermatologists receive extensive training in both during their residency. Physicians who perform Mohs surgery can receive training in this specialized technique during their dermatology residency, but many will seek additional training either through preceptorships to join the American Society for Mohs Surgery [22] or through formal one- to two-year Mohs surgery fellowship training programs administered by the American College of Mohs Surgery. [23]This technique requires the integration of the same doctor in two different capacities: surgeon as well as pathologist. In case either of the two responsibilities is assigned to another doctor or qualified health care professional, it will not be considered to be Mohs surgery. Pediatric dermatology [ edit]Physicians can qualify for this specialization by completing both a pediatric residency and a dermatology residency. Or they might elect to complete a post-residency fellowship. [24] This field encompasses the complex diseases of the neonates, hereditary skin diseases or genodermatoses, and the many difficulties of working with the pediatric population. [25]Teledermatology [ edit]Main article: Teledermatology Teledermatology is a form of dermatology where telecommunication technologies are used to exchange medical information via all kinds of media (audio, visual and also data communication, but typically photos of dermatologic conditions) usually made by non-dermatologists for evaluation off-site by dermatologists). [26] [27] This subspecialty deals with options to view skin conditions over a large distance to provide knowledge exchange, [28] to establish second-opinion services for experts [29] or to use this for follow-up of individuals with chronic skin conditions. [30] [31] Teledermatology can reduce wait times by allowing dermatologists to treat minor conditions online while serious conditions requiring immediate care are given priority for appointments. [32]Dermatoepidemiology [ edit]Dermatoepidemiology is the study of skin disease at the population level. [33] One aspect of dermatoepidemiology is the determination of the global burden of skin diseases [34] [35] From 1990 to 2013, skin disease has constituted approximately 2% of total global disease disability [36] as measured in disability adjusted life years (DALYS). [37]Therapies [ edit]Facial cleansing pores in Meditec at ITESM CCM (2012)Therapies provided by dermatologists include, but are not restricted to the following: Excision and treatment of skin cancer Cryosurgery – for the treatment of warts, skin cancers, and other dermatosis. Cosmetic filler injections Hair removal with laser or other modalities Hair transplantation – a cosmetic procedure practiced by many dermatologists. Intralesional treatment – with steroid or chemotherapy. Laser therapy – for both the management of birth marks, skin disorders (like vitiligo ), tattoo removal, and cosmetic resurfacing and rejuvenation. Chemical peels for the treatment of acne, melasma, and sun damage Photodynamic therapy – for the treatment of skin cancer and precancerous growths. Phototherapy – including the use of narrowband UVB, broadband UVB, psoralen and UVB. Tattoo removal with laser. Tumescent liposuction – liposuction was invented by a gynecologist. A dermatologist (Dr. Jeffrey A. Klein) adapted the procedure to local infusion of dilute anesthetic called tumescent liposuction. This method is now widely practiced by dermatologists, plastic surgeons and gynecologists. [38]Radiation therapy – although rarely practiced by dermatologists, many dermatologist continue to provide radiation therapy in their office. Vitiligo surgery – Including procedures like autologous melanocyte transplant, suction blister grafting and punch grafting. Allergy testing – 'Patch testing' for contact dermatitis. Systemic therapies – including antibiotics, immunomodulators, and novel injectable products. Topical therapies – dermatologists have the best understanding of the numerous products and compounds used topically in medicine. Most dermatologic pharmacology can be categorized based on the Anatomical Therapeutic Chemical Classification System, specifically the ATC code D.

Claude Jeremiah Greengrass | Heartbeat Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Dishevelled and curmudgeonly yet lovable old rogue, always getting into scrapes, poaching game from Lord Ashfordly 's estate and engage in dubious dealings with local low-lives. In the episode " Bringing It All Back Home ", Greengrass is investigated by the Inland Revenue, and it is revealed that he had sold a piece of his land to the Ministry of Defence for £25,000 which explains his financial security, although he hadn't paid any Income Tax for at least the previous 12 years! He was usually to be seen accompanied by his faithful dog Alfred , a lurcher. Although he often had troubles with the police, he did come to have a (slightly grudging) respect for Nick Rowan (or "Ronan" as he habitually mispronounced it), who would often warn him in advance to keep a low profile if there was any kind of trouble brewing. His reputation as a borderline criminal appeared to be common knowledge among the villagers and police but nobody in particular showed any real dislike towards him. Sergeant Blaketon was the one exception as he utterly despised Greengrass and went to great pains to permanently put a stop to the latter's activities. He would often call Nick's replacement, PC Mike Bradley , by his full name, Michael, whenever they sometimes met. At first, Greengrass was used as a comic relief character, but after some time Greengrass became a central character with his own intrigues and schemes. Claude had a brother called Cyril Isaiah Greengrass , who appeared a couple of times, and a sister, Isabelle Christie , widow of a West Indian cricketer Vivian Christie. Bill Maynard reluctantly left the series due to poor health, with the producers unwilling to take the risk of insuring him to be on set. The producers offered to have a departing episode written for him, but he declined and so the character's exit (to join his sister on a cruise in the Caribbean) was explained without his appearing. Maynard went on to reprise his popular role of Greengrass in the first series of The Royal. While Heartbeat is well-known for quickly forgetting characters who have departed, Greengrass is unusual in continuing to be mentioned by his former sidekick David Stockwell in subsequent series, as both Vernon Scripps and Peggy Armstrong have tried to use Greengrass's old tricks in their schemes. When Vernon first appeared in the episode Safe House he said that Greengrass had a lot to answer for. Greengrass's schemes often went wrong when it came to making money but he always managed to come up with another idea or two. Vehicles Edit Greengrass was best known for driving a maroon 1956 Morris truck that he would use for his day to day business, he later left this vehicle to David Stockwell. Claude also briefly owned a bright pink Chrystler Imperial which he bought after making the money off the land he sold to the MOD, this car was later stolen and torched. Claude later said he had had some problems getting the insurance money off the car apparently it was only covered for third party fire and theft he went on to say that he told them 'It was the third party who nicked it and set fire to it'. It was Claude Greengrass that was clearing out an old barn belonging to a friend when he stumbled across a red MG TA that he sold to Nick Rowan in a sorry looking state. Nick rebuiilt the car and used it frequently in further episodes. Aidensfield village bobbies PC Michael Dunstan " Mike " Bradley Ashfordly Police sergeants Andy Ryan From Nicholas Rhea's website Bill Maynard, one of Britain's best loved comedy actors, was a founder member of the cast of Heartbeat. His rôle as Claude Jeremiah Greengrass enabled him to win the title of Yorkshire Arts and Entertainment Personality of the Year in the 2003 Yorkshire Awards. As the citation explains: Famous for his role as Greengrass in Heartbeat and The Royal, Bill Maynard is a living legend and much loved by the nation's TV viewers. Currently celebrating his 50th year on British television, Bill has been a comedian, a dramatic actor and a film acto

This feature is not available right now. Please try again later. Uploaded on Apr 17, 2011 History St. George's was built by the French in 1650. This is made apparent by the many red roofed houses in the city. After the Great Fire of 1771, most of the boarding houses on Granby Street were moved to Gouyave. On the 1st of November 1775 there were a Great Fire in the town of St. George's known as the Great Fire of St George's . Following the withdrawal of Bridgetown, Barbados, in the mid 1880s, St. George's went on to become the replacement capital of the former colony of the British Windward Islands. The Tikal was the first art cater shop in Grenada and it was opened in December 1959. In 2004, St. George's and the rest of Grenada were severely battered by Hurricane Ivan. The hurricane left significant destruction across the island and crippled much of the island's infrastructure. It was estimated that some 90% of the island's homes had sustained damage and the nutmeg trees which are key to Grenada's economy were devastated. A year later with the help of international donors (Canada, the United States, and the European Union) Grenada had experienced a significant turn around in rebuilding efforts. By 2007, Grenada had participated as planned in the hosting of the 2007 Cricket World Cup. Though St. George the capital of Grenada was discovered by Christopher Columbus on this third voyage in 1498, the island was relatively neglected until 1650, when it was purchased by the governer of Martinique. The French began their colonization with a series of skirmishes that virtually exterminated the island's native Carib population. The survivors were pushed north to Le Morne des Sauterurs, where rather than surrender they jumped off the cliff to the jagged rocks below. Today the site of the Carib defeat is known as Carib's Leap. Culture Carnival takes place the second week in August. This festival celebrates the emancipation of slaves. The Sunday night celebrations continue into the early morning hours on Monday. On Monday a carnival pageant is held on stage at Queen's Park, this is also where costumes, themes and Calypso Queens are judged. On Tuesdat, St. George vibrates to the sounds of the calypso steel bands as they parade through the streets. You will see many people in colourful costumes, dancing behind the band that they support. There is plenty to eat and drink, the freshly roasted sweet corn is addictive! Weather Grenadians enjoy excellent weather throughout the year. The average is in the high 80'sF. There are two seasons/ The 'dry' season is from January to May and the 'rainy' season for the rest of the year. But you do have short spells of rain in the dry period lasting no more than 5 minutes or so. Grey clouds over the mountains is the first sign of rain. Like most other Caribbean destinations you would expect to find beautiful beaches, tropical sunshine, togther with a friendly welcome but Grenada is unique with its unmistakeable aroma of spices, the mountainous terrain and unexplored coral reefs. Grenada is an independent state withing the commonwealth, with the British Monarch as head represented by the Governor General. Category

Like China, France, Russia and the United Kingdom; Germany and Japan have also been referred to as middle powers.

US Capitol Tours 42 Photos | Add your photo194 Reviews Add your review Address: 100 Constitution Avenue NE, at 1st Street NW, Capitol Hill, Washington D. C. 20002, USAHours: Mon - Sat 8:30am - 4:30pm Admission: Free Tweet Washington DC ATTRACTIONS See all US Capitol Tours The US Capitol dome towers above the Roman columns and manicured gardens of this iconic heart of American government. Topped by the bronze Statue of Freedom, the Capitol is the political and geographic center of Washington D. C. The building houses the legislative branch of Congress, with the Senate meeting in the north wing and the House of Representatives in the south wing. When Congress is in session, visitors can watch politicians debate all flavors of legislative issues, as they’ve done here since 1800. The Basics Areas beyond the visitor center are only accessible by guided tour. Options include group or private tours of Washington D. C. that take in the Capitol Building and include reserved tickets. The Capitol also offers official tours; booking far in advance is highly recommended—passes are available 120 days in advance—though a limited number of same-day, guided-tour passes are offered at the visitor center. You can also book reserved entry via a VIP experience. Things to Know Before You Go Areas beyond the visitor center are only accessible by guided tour. Separate passes are required to view a session of Congress or a Congressional committee hearing. US citizens can obtain one from their state senator or representative; foreign visitors can try at the Capitol’s House and Senate appointment desks.

Capitol tours are family-friendly. No food, drink, or bags larger than 18 inches (46 centimeters) are permitted. A wide range of accessibility services are available to visitors. There is an on-demand shuttle service for those with limited mobility. How to Get There The US Capitol is at the far eastern end of the National Mall in Washington D. C.
