It will be a few more months before lights are installed at the East End skatepark. Will Thomas, 11, gets some air. There was meant to be light by summer, but one of New Plymouth's busiest skateparks will have to wait until March. The long-running $160,000 project to get lights installed at East End Skatepark, a stone's throw from the Coastal Walkway and the beach, was meant to be completed by this summer but has taken time to get off the ground. Councillor Stacey Hitchcock said the main goal was to have the lights in for daylight saving. Supplied The lights are planned for installation in March 2020. The project had been driven by the skateboarding fraternity itself, she said.

SIMON O'CONNOR/STUFF The project was driven by the skateboarders themselves, councillor Stacey Hitchcock said. The lights will be activated by a button, which will turn them on until they slowly fade off after an hour. They will also shut off automatically by 9.30pm during the week, and 10pm on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. New Plymouth District Council external relations manager Jacqueline Baker said in an emailed statement they are aiming to start construction in March, subject to contractor availability and technical challenges. "We've been working closely with the Taranaki Skateboarding Association (TSA) throughout this process and they understand that there's been a small delay while we've secured all the funding." SIMON O'CONNOR/STUFF The lights were supposed to be in by the summer. Committee chairman Glenn Jeffrey, who also works part-time for the Taranaki Daily News, said there was "absolutely" a demand for the lights. "It was always going to be for those winter periods where it's dark at five o'clock and kids have finished their homework, and rather than sitting in front of the idiot box they can come down here and do their sport." There had been some pushback from neighbours, but under the District Plan light rules they did not need to consult on the work, and the light spill would be minimum, Jeffery said. They will also be seeking community funding to progress the later stages of the revamping project, such as a small area for kids who are learning and resurfacing the concrete.
Uruguay at the FIFA World Cup Uruguay have won four FIFA-organized World Football Championships. They won the first World Championship organized by FIFA under the Olympic Committee umbrella with true representation from all continents; before then, football in the Olympics comprised only European teams). Uruguay then won the next two World Championships (Jules Rimet Trophy) in which they participated; these tournaments, the 1930 and 1950 FIFA World Cups, were fully independent from the Olympics and employed clear rules distinguishing professional and amateur football players. Since 1924 marked the beginning of true international football competition, organized by FIFA, FIFA recognizes Uruguay as four-time world champions and allows the team to wear four stars on their uniforms during official international football competitions. (Before 1974, the FIFA World Cup was referred to as the Football World Championship, and the nine champions from 1930 to 1970 received replicas of the Jules Rimet Trophy. Uruguay hosted and won the first FIFA World Cup in 1930, beating Argentina 4–2 in the final. They won their fourth and last title in 1950, upsetting host Brazil 2–1 in the final match. The team have qualified for twelve World Cups, reaching the second round in all but three, the semifinals five times, and the finals twice. They also won the gold medal in Olympic football twice, in 1924 and 1928, before the creation of the World Cup. Uruguay won the 1980 Mundialito, a tournament comprising former World Cup champions hosted in Uruguay to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the first World Championship. Uruguay is one of the most successful teams in the world, having won 19 FIFA official titles: 2 World Championships, 2 Olympic Games, and 15 Copa América championships.

Finally, some dry environments have a musty odor. One cause of this odor that I call the Antique Shop Odor is degradation of paper products and very old wood. Old waxes and polishes could also contribute. I am not aware of publications that discuss the specific compounds that cause these odors.

Put/Call Ratio Put/Call Ratio What it is: The put/call ratio is a popular sentiment indicator based upon the trading volumes of put options compared to call options. The ratio attempts to gauge the prevailing level of bullishness or bearishness in the market. How it works (Example): There are several put/call ratios in use. The one that many investors rely on is based on data collected by the Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE) CBOE adds together all of the call and put options that are traded on all individual equities, as well as indices like the OEX, or S&P 100. Purchasing a call option, you'll remember, simply amounts to a bet that a particular a stock or index will rise in value. By contrast, a put buyer is anticipating that an underlying stock or index is poised to fall. Each day the CBOE calculates the ratio below: Volume of put option contracts / Volume of call option contracts On days when the major averages perform strongly, the number of calls bought typically far outweighs the number of puts. On these days, greed prevails and the put/call ratio may be very low -- perhaps in the neighborhood of 0.70. On days of deep market weakness, however, fear prevails and the number of puts purchased is generally far greater than calls -- possibly reaching 1.10. While 1.0 might seem to be a neutral reading, there are more calls than puts bought on an "average" day. As such, a reading of around 0.80 is about "normal" on this indicator. The daily put/call line, when plotted on a graph, is very erratic. To make the graph easier to read, most charting packages allow you to plot a moving average to smooth out the raw data. Common moving average periods are 10 and 21 days. Why it Matters: The put/call ratio works well in conjunction with overbought/oversold indicators such as the Arms Index and Mc Clellan Oscillator. When you begin to see consistently extreme readings across several different measures, it is a good sign that a market reversal may be on the horizon. Traders should recognize these signals and incorporate them into their trading tool kit. Using the put/call ratio as a contrarian tool can help you avoid getting swept up in the prevailing sentiment, which often leads to buying when the market is high and selling when it is low. Options are one of the most powerful tools you can use in your portfolio, but they can be difficult for new investors to grasp. That's why we created a short lesson perfect for those wanting to learn more -- Options 101: A Primer for the Rookie Options Investor. If you've ever wanted to know how options work, this article will answer all your questions.
Gaius Julius Caesar -LRB- -LSB- ˈɡaː.i.ʊs ˈjuː.li.ʊs ˈkae̯.sar -RSB- ; 13 July 100 BC -- 15 March 44 BC -RRB- , known as Julius Caesar , was a Roman politician , general , and notable author of Latin prose . He played a critical role in the events that led to the demise of the Roman Republic and the rise of the Roman Empire . In 60 BC , Caesar , Crassus , and Pompey formed a political alliance that dominated Roman politics for several years . Their attempts to amass power as Populares were opposed by the Optimates within the Roman Senate , among them Cato the Younger with the frequent support of Cicero . Caesar 's victories in the Gallic Wars , completed by 51 BC , extended Rome 's territory to the English Channel and the Rhine . Caesar became the first Roman general to cross both the Channel and the Rhine , when he built a bridge across the Rhine and crossed the Channel to invade Britain . These achievements granted him unmatched military power and threatened to eclipse the standing of Pompey , who had realigned himself with the Senate after the death of Crassus in 53 BC . With the Gallic Wars concluded , the Senate ordered Caesar to step down from his military command and return to Rome . Caesar refused the order , and instead marked his defiance in 49 BC by crossing the Rubicon with the 13th Legion , leaving his province and illegally entering Roman Italy under arms . Civil war resulted , and Caesar 's victory in the war put him in an unrivalled position of power and influence . After assuming control of government , Caesar began a programme of social and governmental reforms , including the creation of the Julian calendar . He centralised the bureaucracy of the Republic and was eventually proclaimed `` dictator in perpetuity '' , giving him additional authority . But the underlying political conflicts had not been resolved , and on the Ides of March -LRB- 15 March -RRB- 44 BC , Caesar was assassinated by a group of rebellious senators led by Marcus Junius Brutus . A new series of civil wars broke out , and the constitutional government of the Republic was never fully restored . Caesar 's adopted heir Octavian , later known as Augustus , rose to sole power after defeating his opponents in the civil war . Octavian set about solidifying his power , and the era of the Roman Empire began . Much of Caesar 's life is known from his own accounts of his military campaigns , and from other contemporary sources , mainly the letters and speeches of Cicero and the historical writings of Sallust . The later biographies of Caesar by Suetonius and Plutarch are also major sources . Caesar is considered by many historians to be one of the greatest military commanders in history .

The colleges and universities in Vallejo are California Maritime Academy , the Vallejo Center campus of Solano Community College , and Touro University California . Ferry service runs from a terminal on Mare Island Strait to San Francisco , through the BayLink division of SolTrans . Vallejo has twice served as the capital of the state of California : once in 1852 and again in 1853 , both periods being brief . The State Capitol building burned to the ground in the 1880s and the Vallejo Fire Department requested aid from the Fire Department at Mare Island Naval Shipyard . As there were no bridges at that time , the Mare Island Fire Department had to be ferried across the Napa River , arriving to find only the foundation remaining . This was the first recorded mutual aid response in the state of California . Some of the first Europeans drawn to the Vallejo area were attracted by the sulfur springs ; in the year 1902 the area was named Blue Rock Springs . It was also known as White Sulfur Springs and that was the name of the road leading to it from town , today shortened to `` Springs Road '' . Vallejo is best known for the Zodiac Killer and being the hometown of Bay Area rappers E-40 and Mac Dre .

THESE HIGHER RANKS OF SOCEITY WILL BE PANICING NOW, THE PUBLIC ARE NOT LETTING THIS GO, ANOTHER HILLSBOROUGH ! WE WILL GET YOU ALL INTHE END. JUSTICE FOR HOLLIE GREIG. Truth-seeker October 17, 2012 at 12:52 pm There may be lots of predators out there in the world who have been exposed recently in the media. But there are also people who will quite happily spread lies and jump on the proverbial bandwagon in a bid to seek ‘fame, fortune and glory’. I recently went to the David Icke site to check out his latest scandal and came across the Hollie Greig story. And was totally convinced it’s a hoax by the testimony of these women on youtube, who were allegedly complicit in this . If things often sound too fantastically crazy to be true, they often are. And I think you’ll find in this instance that the allegations made were false and the work of some truly evil individuals who seek power and influence by massively defaming innocent people. When reading news and hearing gossip and rumour, it’s crucial for the sake of justice and fairness that allegations are based on fact and truth. In this instance, I think there has been a most evil conspiracy. And that needs to pointed out and underlined very clearly.

JB October 17, 2012 at 2:36 pm My friend told me about Jimmy Saville over 30 years ago. Her father had unfortunately had a road traffic accident and had broken his neck, he was taken to Stoke Mandeville Hospital. On several occasions whilst visiting her father there was word that Jimmy Saville was going to visit. All of a sudden all the nurses disappeared, apparently they were hiding. When she asked why she was told he was a vile, dirty old man who had wandering hands and they were all disgusted by him. They had complained but were told he made a lot of money for the hospital so it was all kept quiet, but at what real cost? Truth Seeker – you have no idea what you are talking about. October 18, 2012 at 7:44 am Savile was a creep , bizarre dress sense , went around in a van and was looked filthy. In the 70s and 80s many people thought he was a weirdo and had no talent at all. So as the saying goes if it quacks like a duck then it’s a duck. So lets look t the rest of the media weirdos – John mcerick please take note. terminator October 18, 2012 at 8:41 am Desperately disappointed to find the identity of the person alluded to by John Simpson, is non other than the guy, so many of us older ones, as kids, looked forward to listening to on Saturday morning’s Childrens Favourites. Finding childhood memories to now be based on an illusion, is like having them abused and violated, themselves. Find myself agreeing with ‘The end’ with regards to other people of eccentric lifestyle. for closer examination. Not even discounting the forever youthful Peter Pan of Pop. The truth seeker October 18, 2012 at 7:46 pm In the case of Savile there’s a mass of corroborating evidence, and although there may be some people making up stories to get in on the act, there are so many consistent accusations that there can’t be any doubt that most of them are true. In the case of McCulloch, we don’t have corroborating evidence yet afaik. We need to know whether McCulloch and Garsgadden are the people being referred to, whether

Social model of disability The social model of disability is a reaction to the dominant medical model of disability which in itself is a functional analysis of the body as machine to be fixed in order to conform with normative values.[1] The social model of disability identifies systemic barriers, negative attitudes and exclusion by society (purposely or inadvertently) that mean society is the main contributory factor in disabling people. While physical, sensory, intellectual, or psychological variations may cause individual functional limitation or impairments, these do not have to lead to disability unless society fails to take account of and include people regardless of their individual differences. The origins of the approach can be traced to the 1960s; the specific term emerged from the United Kingdom in the 1980s.
Poker Hands Order - Poker Hand Rankings at PokerStars How to Play Poker Poker Hands At PokerStars, we deal many varieties of poker, some of which use different hand rankings. Hold’em , Omaha , Seven Card Stud and Five Card Draw all use the traditional ‘high’ poker rankings. Omaha Hi/Lo , Razz and Stud Hi/Lo use the ‘Ace to Five’ (‘California’) low hand rankings for low hands. 2-7 Single Draw and 2-7 Triple Draw use the ‘Deuce to Seven’ (‘Kansas City’) lowball rankings for low hands. Lastly, Badugi uses a special ranking of hands unique to that game. Know your stuff? Play our interactive game at the bottom of this page. Traditional High Poker Hand Ranks + Straight Flush: Five cards in numerical order, all of identical suits. In the event of a tie: Highest rank at the top of the sequence wins. The best possible straight flush is known as a royal flush, which consists of the ace, king, queen, jack and ten of a suit. A royal flush is an unbeatable hand. Four of a Kind: Four cards of the same rank, and one side card or ‘kicker’. In the event of a tie: Highest four of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same four of a kind, the highest fifth side card ('kicker') wins. Full House: Three cards of the same rank, and two cards of a different, matching rank. In the event of a tie: Highest three matching cards wins the pot. In community card games where players have the same three matching cards, the highest value of the two matching cards wins. Flush: Five cards of the same suit. In the event of a tie: The player holding the highest ranked card wins. If necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest, and fifth-highest cards can be used to break the tie. If all five cards are the same ranks, the pot is split. The suit itself is never used to break a tie in poker. Straight: Five cards in sequence. In the event of a tie: Highest ranking card at the top of the sequence wins. Note: The Ace may be used at the top or bottom of the sequence, and is the only card which can act in this manner. A,K,Q,J,T is the highest (Ace high) straight; 5,4,3,2,A is the lowest (Five high) straight. Three of a kind: Three cards of the same rank, and two unrelated side cards. In the event of a tie: Highest ranking three of a kind wins. In community card games where players have the same three of a kind, the highest side card, and if necessary, the second-highest side card wins. Two pair: Two cards of a matching rank, another two cards of a different matching rank, and one side card. In the event of a tie: Highest pair wins. If players have the same highest pair, highest second pair wins. If both players have two identical pairs, highest side card wins. One pair: Two cards of a matching rank, and three unrelated side cards. In the event of a tie: Highest pair wins. If players have the same pair, the highest side card wins, and if necessary, the second-highest and third-highest side card can be used to break the tie. High card: Any hand that does not qualify under a category listed above. In the event of a tie: Highest card wins, and if necessary, the second-highest, third-highest, fourth-highest and smallest card can be used to break the tie. Ace To Five Lowball Hand Ranks + This method of ranking low hands is used in traditional Hi/Lo games, like Omaha Hi/Lo and Stud Hi/Lo, as well as in Razz, the ‘low only’ Stud game. Note that suits are irrelevant for Ace to Five low. A flush or straight does not ‘break’ an Ace to Five low poker hand. Aces are always a ‘low’ card when considering a low hand. Please also note that the value of a five-card low hand starts with the top card, and goes down from there. Five Low, or Wheel: The Five, Four, Three, Deuce and Ace. In the event of a tie: All Five-high hands split the pot. Six Low: Any five unpaired cards with the highest card being a Six. In the event of a tie: The lower second-highest ranking card wins the pot. Thus 6,4,3,2,A defeats 6,5,4,2,A. If necessary, the third-highest, fourth-highest and fifth-highest cards in the hand can be used to break the tie. Seven

Taxis: We think a taxi makes the most sense for the majority of travelers. If you are going from the Miami airport to the cruise terminal, taxis charge a $27 flat-rate fee. Thatâs based on the ride, not per person. So if you are traveling with a family of four, thatâs just $7 per person (or $14 round-trip) â a great deal. As well, unlike shuttles, taxis leave whenever youâre ready.

History of the automobile The first carriage-sized automobile suitable for use on existing wagon roads in the United States was a steam-powered vehicle invented in 1871 by Dr. J.W. Carhart, a minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, in Racine, Wisconsin.[8][self-published source] It induced the State of Wisconsin in 1875 to offer a $10,000 award to the first to produce a practical substitute for the use of horses and other animals. They stipulated that the vehicle would have to maintain an average speed of more than 5 miles per hour (8.0 km/h) over a 200-mile (320 km) course. The offer led to the first city to city automobile race in the United States, starting on 16 July 1878 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, and ending in Madison, via Appleton, Oshkosh, Waupun, Watertown, Fort Atkinson, and Janesville. While seven vehicles were registered, only two started to compete: the entries from Green Bay and Oshkosh. The vehicle from Green Bay was faster, but broke down before completing the race. The Oshkosh finished the 201-mile (323 km) course in 33 hours and 27 minutes, and posted an average speed of six miles per hour. In 1879, the legislature awarded half the prize.[9][10][11]
Human respiration rate is measured when a person is at rest and involves counting the number of breaths for one minute by counting how many times the chest rises.An optical breath rate sensor can be used for monitoring patients during a magnetic resonance imaging scan.he typical respiratory rate for a healthy adult at rest is 12â20 breaths per minute. Average resting respiratory rates by age are: 1 birth to 6 weeks: 30â60 breaths per minute. 2 6 months: 25â40 breaths per minute.
Cyclone seen from Space. A tropical cyclone is a low-pressure system which develops in the tropics and is sufficiently intense to produce sustained gale force winds of at least 63km/h. If the sustained wind reaches hurricane force of at least 118km/h the system is defined as a severe tropical cyclone.n other parts of the world they are called hurricanes or typhoons. Tropical cyclones can cause significant phenomena which can adversely, and sometimes favourably impact on communities and the environment. The most common features are destructive winds and heavy rainfall that can lead to flooding.
Memories and lessons from the war are still a major factor in American politics. One side views the war as a necessary part of the Containment policy, which allowed the enemy to choose the time and place of warfare. Others note the U.S. made major strategic gains as the Communists were defeated in Indonesia, and by 1972 both Moscow and Beijing were competing for American support, at the expense of their allies in Hanoi. Critics see the conflict as a "quagmire"—an endless waste of American blood and treasure in a conflict that did not concern US interests. Fears of another quagmire have been major factors in foreign policy debates ever since. The draft became extremely unpopular, and President Nixon ended it in 1973, forcing the military (the Army especially) to rely entirely upon volunteers.

12 Ways to Make the Juiciest Burgers On The Grill 12 Ways to Make the Juiciest Burgers On The Grill Filed under Beef, Grilling Tips January 18, 2008Hamburgers on the grill are about as good as it gets. But cooking them on the grill makes it easy to dry them out. Here are 12 tips to make the juiciest burgers you can find. Mix 1/2 tsp of salt into 2 tbps water for each lb of meat you will be using. Add pepper according to your taste. Mix the seasoned water with the meat. This is similar to how seasoned sausage is made. The water helps distribute the seasoning while giving the meat extra moisture. Now crush up 2 ice cubes and gently work the crushed iced cubes into the meat. Make 1/4 lb patties (four of them) and grill. When you grill hamburgers, sear both sides on high heat, then move the burgers to the top rack to complete cooking to the level that you like. Searing the meat helps keep the juices inside. Add finely minced or grated onion to the meat before grilling. The onions will release their juices as you grill, while the onion adds flavor. You can use beef base to make juice burgers. Add enough beef base with other seasonings that you like to the meat until the meat is really juicy. Then grill. The added moisture will give you really juicy burgers. Add vegetable juice (like V8), or Heinz 57 or Worcestershire sauce to the hamburger meat before you make the patties. Make sure you use fresh meat and that it has a fat content of at least 18%. Ground chuck works great. Use a digital instant read meat thermometer to grill the burgers to the desired temperature (around 140 degrees) but no more. Don't overwork the meat as you make the burgers. Keeping the patties looser will make them not as tough. Some say to flip early and flip often. If you wait to flip until the juices are pooling on top of the burger (as you have probably seen them do), you just end up dumping all those juices into your grill. Flip them early and often and the juices stay in the meat. When making the burger patty, add a pat of butter to the middle of the patty. Poke a hole in the middle of the patty. This will help the burger cook more evenly and you won't be tempted to overcook it. The hole will close as it cooks. Don't mash the burger down with your spatula as it cooks. This just squeezes the juice out. If you use the "poke a hole in the middle trick" they won't be so thin on outside and thick in the middle and you won't be tempted to mash them down. How about you? What are your tricks for grilling the juiciest burgers around? P. S. If you love grilled hamburgers, I would like to suggest that you look at The Great Big Burger Book . This book has 100 new and classic recipes for mouthwatering burgers!grilling, hamburgers

Cartesian coordinate system A Cartesian coordinate system is a coordinate system that specifies each point uniquely in a plane by a pair of numerical coordinates, which are the signed distances to the point from two fixed perpendicular directed lines, measured in the same unit of length. Each reference line is called a coordinate axis or just axis (plural axes) of the system, and the point where they meet is its origin, at ordered pair (0, 0). The coordinates can also be defined as the positions of the perpendicular projections of the point onto the two axes, expressed as signed distances from the origin.

What year were slaves freed officiallly? Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories History, Politics & Society History History of the United States US Presidents Abraham Lincoln What year were slaves freed officiallly? Flag What year were slaves freed officiallly? Answer by Acermann1961 Confidence votes 198the 13th amendment was ratifed in December of 1865 freeing all slaves in the united states and its' territories Lincoln's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1, 1863 was a powerful move that promised freedom for slaves in the Confederacy as soon as the Union armies reached them, and authorized the enlistment of African Americans in the Union Army. The Emancipation Proclamation did not free slaves in the Union-allied slave-holding states that bordered the Confederacy. Since the Confederate States did not recognize the authority of President Lincoln, and the proclamation did not apply in the border states, at first the proclamation freed only slaves who had escaped behind Union lines. Still, the proclamation made the abolition of slavery an official war goal that was implemented as the Union took territory from the Confederacy. According to the Census of 1860, this policy would free nearly four million slaves, or over 12% of the total population of the United States. There still were over 250,000 slaves in Texas. Word did not reach Texas about the collapse of the Confederacy until June 19, 1865. African Americans and others celebrate that day as Juneteenth, the day of freedom, in Texas, Oklahoma and some other states. It commemorates the date when the news finally reached slaves at Galveston, Texas. Legally, the last 40,000 or so slaves were freed in Kentucky [83] by the final ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution in December 1865.

Accelerometers are electromechanical devices that sense either static or dynamic forces of acceleration. Static forces include gravity, while dynamic forces can include vibrations and movement. Axes of measurement for a triple axis accelerometer. Accelerometers can measure acceleration on one, two, or three axes. 3-axis units are becoming more common as the cost of development for them decreases. Generally, accelerometers contain capacitive plates internally.

The Roman army in the Republic was a seasonal position with soldiers signing up for a campaign in the summer, then going home to work the fields. Some of the soldiers wives would join them in the baggage train, however they were not permitted to stay in the camp. It wasn't until Augustus that one could pick soldier as a full time career. If one was married before joining the army, the marriage was nullified. However, like Theemuts pointed out, many soldiers did form long term relationships with local women, many having kids with them. Men of Equestrian and senatorial rank were able to remain married to bring their wives into the camp. Legionaries got special exemptions while writing their will, and could leave their inheritance to a non-Roman. Source The Roman Army. Southern, Pat I also know that Roman soldiers were given leave however I need to find a source for it.

Buddy Holly -LRB- born Charles Hardin Holley ; September 7 , 1936 -- February 3 , 1959 -RRB- was an American musician and singer-songwriter who was a central figure of mid-1950s rock and roll . Holley was born in Lubbock , Texas , to a musical family during the Great Depression ; he learned to play guitar and to sing alongside his siblings . His style was influenced by gospel music , country music , and rhythm and blues acts , and he performed in Lubbock with his friends from high school . He made his first appearance on local television in 1952 , and the following year he formed the group `` Buddy and Bob '' with his friend Bob Montgomery . In 1955 , after opening for Elvis Presley , Holly decided to pursue a career in music . He opened for Presley three times that year ; his band 's style shifted from country and western to entirely rock and roll . In October that year , when he opened for Bill Haley & His Comets , Holly was spotted by Nashville scout Eddie Crandall , who helped him get a contract with Decca Records . Holly 's recording sessions at Decca were produced by Owen Bradley . Unhappy with Bradley 's control in the studio and with the sound he achieved there , Holly went to producer Norman Petty in Clovis , New Mexico , and recorded a demo of `` That 'll Be the Day '' , among other songs . Petty became the band 's manager and sent the demo to Brunswick Records , which released it as a single credited to `` The Crickets '' , which became the name of Holly 's band . In September 1957 , as the band toured , `` That 'll Be the Day '' topped the US `` Best Sellers in Stores '' chart and the UK Singles Chart . Its success was followed in October by another major hit , `` Peggy Sue '' . The album Chirping Crickets , released in November 1957 , reached number five on the UK Albums Chart . Holly made his second appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show in January 1958 and soon after , toured Australia and then the UK . In early 1959 , Holly assembled a new band , consisting of future country music star Waylon Jennings -LRB- bass -RRB- , famed session musician Tommy Allsup -LRB- guitar -RRB- , and Carl Bunch -LRB- drums -RRB- , and embarked on a tour of the midwestern U.S. . After a show in Clear Lake , Iowa , Holly chartered an airplane to travel to his next show , in Moorhead , Minnesota . Soon after takeoff , the plane crashed , killing Holly , Ritchie Valens , The Big Bopper , and pilot Roger Peterson in a tragedy later referred to by Don McLean as `` The Day the Music Died '' . During his short career , Holly wrote , recorded , and produced his own material . He is often regarded as the artist who defined the traditional rock-and-roll lineup of two guitars , bass , and drums . Holly was a major influence on later popular music artists , including The Beatles , The Rolling Stones , Eric Clapton , and Elton John . He was among the first artists inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame , in 1986 . Rolling Stone magazine ranked him number 13 in its list of `` 100 Greatest Artists '' .
DST has mixed effects on health. In societies with fixed work schedules it provides more afternoon sunlight for outdoor exercise. It alters sunlight exposure; whether this is beneficial depends on one's location and daily schedule, as sunlight triggers vitamin D synthesis in the skin, but overexposure can lead to skin cancer. DST may help in depression by causing individuals to rise earlier, but some argue the reverse. The Retinitis Pigmentosa Foundation Fighting Blindness, chaired by blind sports magnate Gordon Gund, successfully lobbied in 1985 and 2005 for US DST extensions.

Over the course of the 20th century, the world's per-capita gross domestic product grew by a factor of five, much more than all earlier centuries combined (including the 19th with its Industrial Revolution). Many economists make the case that this understates the magnitude of growth, as many of the goods and services consumed at the end of the 20th century, such as improved medicine (causing world life expectancy to increase by more than two decades) and communications technologies, were not available at any price at its beginning. However, the gulf between the world's rich and poor grew wider, and the majority of the global population remained in the poor side of the divide.

(April 2011) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Part of a series on Forensic science Physiological [show]Social [show]Criminalistics [show]Digital forensics [hide]Computer exams Data analysis Database study Mobile devices Network analysis Photography Video analysis Audio analysis Related disciplines [show]Related articles [show]Outline Categoryv t e Network forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics relating to the monitoring and analysis of computer network traffic for the purposes of information gathering, legal evidence, or intrusion detection. [1] Unlike other areas of digital forensics, network investigations deal with volatile and dynamic information. Network traffic is transmitted and then lost, so network forensics is often a pro-active investigation. [2]Network forensics generally has two uses. The first, relating to security, involves monitoring a network for anomalous traffic and identifying intrusions. An attacker might be able to erase all log files on a compromised host; network-based evidence might therefore be the only evidence available for forensic analysis. [3] The second form relates to law enforcement. In this case analysis of captured network traffic can include tasks such as reassembling transferred files, searching for keywords and parsing human communication such as emails or chat sessions. Two systems are commonly used to collect network data; a brute force "catch it as you can" and a more intelligent "stop look listen" method. Contents [ hide ]1 Overview2 Types2.1 Ethernet2.2 TCP/IP2.3 The Internet3 Wireless forensics4 References5 External links Overview [ edit]Network forensics is a comparatively new field of forensic science. The growing popularity of the Internet in homes means that computing has become network-centric and data is now available outside of disk-based digital evidence. Network forensics can be performed as a standalone investigation or alongside a computer forensics analysis (where it is often used to reveal links between digital devices or reconstruct how a crime was committed). [2]Marcus Ranum is credited with defining Network forensics as "the capture, recording, and analysis of network events in order to discover the source of security attacks or other problem incidents". [4]Compared to computer forensics, where evidence is usually preserved on disk, network data is more volatile and unpredictable. Investigators often only have material to examine if packet filters, firewalls, and intrusion detection systems were set up to anticipate breaches of security. [2]Systems used to collect network data for forensics use usually come in two forms: [5]"Catch-it-as-you-can" – This is where all packets passing through a certain traffic point are captured and written to storage with analysis being done subsequently in batch mode. This approach requires large amounts of storage. "Stop, look and listen" – This is where each packet is analyzed in a rudimentary way in memory and only certain information saved for future analysis. This approach requires a faster processor to keep up with incoming traffic. Types [ edit]Ethernet [ edit]Wireshark, a common tool used to monitor and record network traffic Applying forensic methods on the Ethernet layer is done by eavesdropping bit streams with tools called monitoring tools or sniffers. The most common tool on this layer is Wireshark (formerly known as Ethereal) and tcpdump where tcpdump works mostly on unix-like operating systems. These tools collect all data on this layer and allows the user to filter for different events. With these tools, website pages, email attachments, and other network traffic can be reconstructed only if they are transmitted or received unencrypted. An advantage of collecting this data is that it is directly connected to a host. If, for example the IP address or the MAC address of a host at a certain time is known, all data sent to or from this IP or MAC address can be filtered. To establish the connection between IP and MAC address, it is useful to take a closer look at auxiliary network protocols. The Address Resolution Protocol (ARP) tables list the MAC addresses with the corresponding IP addresses. To collect data on this layer, the network interface card (NIC) of a host can be put into " promiscuous mode ". In so doing, all traffic will be passed to the CPU, not only the traffic meant for the host. However, if an intruder or attacker is aware that his connection might be eavesdropped, he might use encryption to secure his connection. It is almost impossible nowadays to break encryption but the fact that a suspect's connection to another host is encrypted all the time might indicate that the other host is an accomplice of the suspect. TCP/IP [ edit]On the network layer the Internet Protocol (IP) is responsible for directing the packets generated by TCP through the network (e.g., the Internet) by adding source and destination information which can be interpreted by routers all over the network. Cellular digital packet networks, like GPRS, use similar protocols like IP, so the methods described for IP work with them as well. For the correct routing, every intermediate router must have a routing table to know where to send the packet next. These routing tables are one of the best sources of information if investigating a digital crime and trying to track down an attacker. To do this, it is necessary to follow the packets of the attacker, reverse the sending route and find the computer the packet came from (i.e., the attacker). The Internet [ edit]The internet can be a rich source of digital evidence including web browsing, email, newsgroup, synchronous chat and peer-to-peer traffic. For example, web server logs can be used to show when (or if) a suspect accessed information related to criminal activity. Email accounts can often contain useful evidence; but email headers are easily faked and, so, network forensics may be used to prove the exact origin of incriminating material. Network forensics can also be used in order to find out who is using a particular computer [6] by extracting user account information from the network traffic. Wireless forensics [ edit]Wireless forensics is a sub-discipline of network forensics. The main goal of wireless forensics is to provide the methodology and tools required to collect and analyze (wireless) network traffic that can be presented as valid digital evidence in a court of law. The evidence collected can correspond to plain data or, with the broad usage of Voice-over-IP (Vo IP) technologies, especially over wireless, can include voice conversations. Analysis of wireless network traffic is similar to that on wired networks, however there may be the added consideration of wireless security measures.

Tanzania -LSB- ˌtænzəˈniːə -RSB- , officially the United Republic of Tanzania -LRB- Jamhuri ya Muungano wa Tanzania -RRB- , is a country in Eastern Africa within the African Great Lakes region . Parts of the country are in Southern Africa . It is bordered by Kenya and Uganda to the north ; Rwanda , Burundi , and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west ; Zambia , Malawi , and Mozambique to the south ; and by the Indian Ocean to the east . Mount Kilimanjaro , Africa 's highest mountain , is in northeastern Tanzania . Tanzania 's population of 51.82 million -LRB- 2014 -RRB- is diverse , composed of several ethnic , linguistic , and religious groups . Tanzania is a presidential constitutional republic , and since 1996 , its official capital city has been Dodoma , where the President 's Office , the National Assembly , and some government ministries are located . Dar es Salaam , the former capital , retains most government offices and is the country 's largest city , principal port , and leading commercial centre . Tanzania is a one party dominant state with the socialist-progressive Chama Cha Mapinduzi -LRB- CCM -RRB- party in power . From its formation until 1992 , it was the only legally permitted party in the country . This changed on 1 July 1992 , when amendments to the Constitution and a number of laws permitting and regulating the formation and operations of more than one political party were enacted by the National Assembly . Elections for president and all National Assembly seats were last held in October 2015 . The CCM holds approximately 75 % of the seats in the assembly . Prehistoric population migrations include Southern Cushitic speakers , who are ancestral to the Iraqw , Gorowa , and Burunge and who moved south from Ethiopia into Tanzania . Based on linguistic evidence , there may also have been two movements into Tanzania of Eastern Cushitic people at about 4,000 and 2,000 years ago , originating from north of Lake Turkana . Archaeological evidence supports the conclusion that Southern Nilotes , including the Datoog , moved south from the present-day South Sudan-Ethiopia border region into central northern Tanzania between 2,900 and 2,400 years ago . These movements took place at about the same time as the settlement of the iron-making Mashariki Bantu from West Africa in the Lake Victoria and Lake Tanganyika areas . They brought with them the west African planting tradition and the primary staple of yams . They subsequently migrated out of these regions across the rest of Tanzania , between 2,300 and 1,700 years ago . European colonialism began in mainland Tanzania during the late 19th century when Germany formed German East Africa , which gave way to British rule following World War I . The mainland was governed as Tanganyika , with the Zanzibar Archipelago remaining a separate colonial jurisdiction . Following their respective independence in 1961 and 1963 , the two entities merged in April 1964 to form the United Republic of Tanzania . Tanzania is mountainous and densely forested in the northeast , where Mount Kilimanjaro is located . Three of Africa 's Great Lakes are partly within Tanzania . To the north and west lie Lake Victoria , Africa 's largest lake , and Lake Tanganyika , the continent 's deepest lake , known for its unique species of fish . The eastern shore is hot and humid , with the Zanzibar Archipelago just offshore .

What is the function of DNA? Answers.com ® Wiki Answers ® Categories Science Biology Genetics What is the function of DNA? Flag What is the function of DNA? Expert answer by Arturo Manzo-Fontes Confidence votes 21Ph. D. in Biochemistry specialized in Signal Transduction cascades and recombinant protein manufacturing through cell culture biotechnology. The key to understanding the function of DNA molecule is layered on the pattern of bases along one strand, of the two, that is formed, that is being transcribed into RNA and therefore being translated into a protein. The "readable" strand contains the information (understood as the pattern of base sequences) needed to build a whole protein or group of proteins. So, the recipe for each protein is encoded in a sequence of bases. An analogy is the way letters form written words; but protein is more like a long sentence than a single word, since it may be formed from hundreds of building blocks, called amino acids. The gene is a coded recipe for building a protein. One strand of DNA (called the "sense" strand) contains the recipe for the protein. Was this answer useful?

The 2010 Washington Redskins season was the 78th season for the team in the National Football League (NFL), and their first under new head coach Mike Shanahan, who also began his term as the team's Vice President of Football Operations. The Redskins obtained the 4th pick in the 2010 NFL Draft as a result of their 4–12 record from their previous season, which they used to draft Oklahoma tackle Trent Williams. Finishing the season 6–10, the Redskins improved on their 4–12 record from the 2009 season, but were officially eliminated from postseason contention in Week 14. Of the 16 games of the season, only four (all losses) were decided by more than a single possession.
Hebbian theory Hebbian learning and spike-timing-dependent plasticity have been used in an influential theory of how mirror neurons emerge.[12][13] Mirror neurons are neurons that fire both when an individual performs an action and when the individual sees[14] or hears[15] another perform a similar action. The discovery of these neurons has been very influential in explaining how individuals make sense of the actions of others, by showing that, when a person perceives the actions of others, the person activates the motor programs which they would use to perform similar actions. The activation of these motor programs then adds information to the perception and helps predict what the person will do next based on the perceiver's own motor program. A challenge has been to explain how individuals come to have neurons that respond both while performing an action and while hearing or seeing another perform similar actions.
Both lungs and gills have thin surfaces that red blood cells can get close to to absorb oxygen. Gills are designed to pump water through so those cells can pick up dissolved oxygen in the water while releasing carbon dioxide, while lungs do the same, but with air. Fish can't survive outside the water because the gills aren't designed to pump and hold air for this gas exchange to occur. Likewise, lungs can't effectively push out water, causing land animals to drown.
David Garrick, photo, biography David Garrick Biography David Garrick (1717-1779) In 1685 Louis XIV revoked the Edict of Nantes - Henry IV issued the act of toleration, equalizing the rights of the Huguenots (French Protestants) and Catholics. Now for trying to emigrate Huguenots relied death penalty. The latter, however, nobody was afraid of. He had only to give anyone a bribe and then should be - on all four sides. So he found himself in England, a rich French merchant, La Garrigue, who became a foreign land Garrick. His children's fate has developed differently. One settled in Portugal and became the largest wine merchant. Another remained in England, married an Irish and bought a commission. So Captain Garrick and vegetating in a provincial town, burdened with the offspring of six children, who, of course, the other a better future. At one of them, David, hopes were especially high. The boy was alive, which ran to knowledge, and his father sent him to his brother in Lisbon - God willing, he will make from the vintner. D. Zoffani. David Garrick in the comedy 'My wife Provaka' 1763-1765 David and accurately in Lisbon succeeded, albeit in his. When my uncle going to the merchants, he amused them to fall. From the secrets of wine trade is, unfortunately, distracted, and a year later, the boy had to be sent home - to the merchants he obviously was not fit. Well, Captain Garrick hand on him did not wave. I decided to put on the academic part and gave them just to open a school of Samuel Johnson, the good money he took small - lived on the content-rich wife, a lot of his older. The scientists really had a remarkable. Subsequently, he became a leading British literary critic and author of the famous dictionary. Here are all my knowledge he did not manage to convey to David. His wife was terribly sick, he threw home, school and went on foot to London (travel money was not), taking only his favorite, David. My father once took care of him and arranged to one lawyer, who lived near the capital. That little later from the student refused. David no interest in law and not shown as he could, sitting in the London theater. But here, his luck did not leave. He received from his uncle's small wine cellar just in front of Covent Garden - one of the two (the second was called Dryuri Lane) leading drama theater of the city, not far from another theater, Gudmens Fields. J. Reynolds. 'Garrick between tragedy and comedy Muses' 1747 Forthcoming Garrick became one of the most popular people in the London theater - actors felt in him the man. Hour test was already close. In 1740 ill-known London harlequin Yates, and Dzhiffard, director of the theater Gudmens Fields, who have often seen Garrick in their performances, asked him to speak instead of Yates. Garrick put on a mask of a harlequin, and played so that no one noticed the replacement. Season was over, and Dzhiffard Garrick took with him on summer tour. Fortunately, with him gone, Charles McLean, a few months before that rocked in the role of Shylock ( "The Merchant of Venice 'William Shakespeare). McLean was a character actor who transformed this traditionally comic image in a tragic. Other major actors' achievements in McLean was not, but over time he became famous as a theater teacher. McLean managed to do away with the melodic recitation of which came from the classical theater actors. He forced his students to pronounce the most commonplace remarks tone, and then build on these intonation, adjust to the conditions of the scene. Garrick learned from Maclean long, but when his phenomenal abilities that was enough. In 1741 Dzhiffard gave him the role of Richard III, promised that he will be brought before the public as a 'gentleman, which first appeared on the stage'. It was a way to lure more people into the hall, but the way is dangerous. It happened that the audience did not like them to beat a novice. With Garrick, of course, nothing like that could befall. The very next day in a review reported that in London there is now a great actor. Since then, one success followed another. Not

Charlie Chan (Character) - Biography biography The content of this page was created by users. It has not been screened or verified by IMDb staff. Warning! This character biography may contain plot spoilers. Visit our Character Biography Help to learn more. Character Biography History Discuss The character of Charlie Chan was created by author Earl Derr Biggers, who wrote several mystery novels featuring the character. Biggers based Charlie Chan in part on a Honolulu police officer named Chang Apana. Both the character of Charlie Chan and the real-life Chang Apana worked in Honululu and were accomplished, respected police officers of Chinese descent, but the similarities seem to end there. The first screen appearances of Charlie Chan were in silent serials and the character also had a small role in the 1929 early talkie "Behind That Curtain." In 1931, Fox studios cast Warner Oland as Charlie Chan, who had previous experience playing Asian roles. For the most part, Warner Oland played Chan as a soft-spoken, polite detective, an aspect that was noticeably different from Earl Derr Biggers' original, more assertive Charlie Chan. However, Chan's wise proverbs and powers of deduction remained much the same in the films as they were in the novels. Warner Oland had a very successful run as Charlie Chan from 1931-37, and starred in perhaps the most acclaimed Chan film, "Charlie Chan at the Opera," co-starring Boris Karloff. The character of Chan was unique; he had no trouble coming up with wise proverbs or sayings for any situation. An example of one of his sayings- "Politeness is the golden key that opens many doors." He was often underestimated, even by members of the police force, and always came out ahead, no matter what people thought of him. This was a step forward for people of Chinese descent, because there had previously never been a Chinese character in movies that was not a villain or a negative stereotype. Warner Oland visited Shanghai, and was thought by many to really be Chinese, a testament to his believability in the role of Charlie Chan. One of the elements that made the series so popular was the addition of Charlie Chan's enthusiastic Americanized sons, played mainly by Asian actors Keye Luke, Sen Yung, and Benson Fong. Their amateur detective work and comedic chemistry with their onscreen "dad" was a key addition to the films' success. Warner Oland died suddenly of pneumonia in 1938, and there was uncertainty whether or not the role of Chan could be re-cast. The Charlie Chan film series was very popular for 20th Century Fox, so they decided to continue with the series and cast Sidney Toler as Chan. Toler played Chan more assertively than Warner Oland had and was a hit with fans of the series, continuing the Fox films successfully until 1942. 20th Century Fox dropped the film series, but Sidney Toler, who gained the screen rights to the character of Charlie Chan from Earl Derr Biggers' widow, was able to continue in the role of Charlie Chan at Monogram studios, starting with "Charlie Chan in the Secret Service" in 1944. Sidney Toler continued in the role until 1947, when he died of colon cancer (then known as intestinal cancer). Monogram studios still had a successful series on their hands, and they were eager to re-cast Chan. Roland Winters quickly got the role (he was cast even before the studio executives saw the film of his screen test). Although a capable actor, many felt that Roland Winters was miscast as Charlie Chan. He did not really look Chinese and was nearly the same age as Keye Luke, who played his son in the last two Chan films. He played Chan until 1949's "The Sky Dragon," the last film in the series.

Law of superposition The law of superposition is an axiom that forms one of the bases of the sciences of geology, archaeology, and other fields dealing with geological stratigraphy. In its plainest form, it states that in undeformed stratigraphic sequences, the oldest strata will be at the bottom of the sequence. This is important to stratigraphic dating, which assumes that the law of superposition holds true and that an object cannot be older than the materials of which it is composed. The law was first proposed in the late 17th century by the Danish scientist Nicolas Steno.

Lee Harvey Oswald -LRB- October 18 , 1939 -- November 24 , 1963 -RRB- was an American former U.S. Marine who was arrested for the assassination of United States President John F. Kennedy on November 22 , 1963 . According to four federal government investigations and one municipal investigation , These were investigations by : the Federal Bureau of Investigation -LRB- 1963 -RRB- , the Warren Commission -LRB- 1964 -RRB- , the House Select Committee on Assassinations -LRB- 1979 -RRB- , the Secret Service , and the Dallas Police Department . Oswald shot and killed Kennedy as the President traveled by motorcade through Dealey Plaza in the city of Dallas , Texas . Oswald was honorably discharged from the Marine Corps and defected to the Soviet Union in October 1959 . He lived in the Belarusian city of Minsk until June 1962 , at which time he returned to the United States with Marina , his Russian-born wife , eventually settling in Dallas . Following Kennedy 's assassination , Oswald was initially arrested for the murder of police officer J. D. Tippit , who was killed on a Dallas street about 45 minutes after Kennedy was shot . Oswald was later charged with the murder of Kennedy . He denied shooting anybody , saying that he was a `` patsy '' . Two days later , while being transferred from the city jail to the county jail , Oswald was fatally shot by Dallas nightclub owner Jack Ruby in full view of television cameras broadcasting live . In September 1964 , the Warren Commission concluded that Oswald acted alone in assassinating Kennedy by firing three shots from the Texas School Book Depository . This conclusion was supported by previous investigations carried out by the FBI , the Secret Service , and the Dallas Police Department . Despite forensic , ballistic , and eyewitness evidence supporting the lone gunman theory , public opinion polls taken over the years have shown that most Americans believe that Oswald did not act alone , but conspired with others to kill the president . The assassination has spawned numerous conspiracy theories .

Born in Jamaica, Marcus Garvey was an orator for the Black Nationalism and Pan-Africanism movements, to which end he founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association and African Communities League. Garvey advanced a Pan-African philosophy which inspired a global mass movement, known as Garveyism. Garveyism would eventually inspire others, from the Nation of Islam to the Rastafari movement. Marcus Garvey wrote a paper called the Negro World during the Harlem Renaissance, which highlighted the accomplishments of African-Americans and the ideas that African-Americans deserved respect. (Getty Images)Getty Images Founding the United Negro Improvement Association (U. N. I. A. )Garvey's Philosophy & Beliefs Marcus Garvey returned to Jamaica in 1912 and founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association (U. N. I. A.) with the goal of uniting all of African diaspora to "establish a country and absolute government of their own." After corresponding with Booker T. Washington, the American educator who founded Tuskegee Institute, Garvey traveled to the United States in 1916 to raise funds for a similar venture in Jamaica. He settled in New York City and formed a U. N. I. A. chapter in Harlem to promote a separatist philosophy of social, political, and economic freedom for blacks. In 1918, Garvey began publishing the widely distributed newspaper Negro World to convey his message. Black Star Line By 1919, Marcus Garvey and U. N. I. A. had launched the Black Star Line, a shipping company that would establish trade and commerce between Africans in America, the Caribbean, South and Central America, Canada and Africa. At the same time, Garvey started the Negros Factories Association, a series of companies that would manufacture marketable commodities in every big industrial center in the Western hemisphere and Africa. In August 1920, U. N. I. A. claimed 4 million members and held its first International Convention at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Before a crowd of 25,000 people from all over world, Marcus Garvey spoke of having pride in African history and culture. Many found his words inspiring, but not all. Some established black leaders found his separatist philosophy ill-conceived. W. E. B. Du Bois, a prominent black leader and officer of the N. A. A. C. P. called Garvey, "the most dangerous enemy of the Negro race in America." Garvey felt Du Bois was an agent of the white elite. Under Surveillance By J. Edgar Hoover But W. E. B Du Bois wasn't the worst adversary of Garvey; history would soon reveal F. B. I. Director J. Edgar Hoover 's fixation on ruining Garvey for his radical ideas. Hoover felt threatened by the black leader, fearing he was inciting blacks across the country to stand up in militant defiance. Hoover referred to Garvey as a "notorious negro agitator" and for several years, desperately sought ways to find damning personal information on him, even going so far as to hire the first black F. B. I. agent in 1919 in order to infiltrate Garvey's ranks and spy on him. "They placed spies in the U. N. I. A.," said historian Winston James. "They sabotaged the Black Star Line. The engines... of the ships were actually damaged by foreign matter being thrown into the fuel. "Hoover would use the same methods decades later to obtain information on black leaders like MLK and Malcolm X . Charged, Deported to Jamaica In 1922, Marcus Garvey and three other U. N. I. A. officials were charged with mail fraud involving the Black Star Line. The trial records indicate several improprieties occurred in the prosecution of the case. It didn't help that the shipping line's books contained many accounting irregularities. On June 23, 1923, Garvey was convicted and sentenced to prison for five years. Claiming to be a victim of a politically motivated miscarriage of justice, Garvey appealed his conviction, but was denied. In 1927 he was released from prison and deported to Jamaica. Garvey continued his political activism and the work of U. N. I. A. in Jamaica, and then moved to London in 1935. But he did not command the same influence he had earlier. Perhaps in desperation or maybe in delusion, Garvey collaborated with outspoken segregationist and white supremacist Senator Theodore Bilbo of Mississippi to promote a reparations scheme. The Greater Liberia Act of 1939 would deport 12 million African-Americans to Liberia at federal expense to relieve unemployment. The act failed in Congress, and Garvey lost even more support among the black population. Early Life Social activist Marcus Mosiah Garvey, Jr. was born on August 17, 1887, in St. Ann's Bay, Jamaica. Self-educated, Garvey founded the Universal Negro Improvement Association, dedicated to promoting African-Americans and resettlement in Africa. In the United States he launched several businesses to promote a separate black nation. After he was convicted of mail fraud and deported back to Jamaica, he continued his work for black repatriation to Africa. Marcus Mosiah Garvey was the last of 11 children born to Marcus Garvey, Sr. and Sarah Jane Richards. His father was a stone mason, and his mother a domestic worker and farmer. Garvey, Sr. was a great influence on Marcus, who once described him as "severe, firm, determined, bold, and strong, refusing to yield even to superior forces if he believed he was right." His father was known to have a large library, where young Garvey learned to read. At age 14, Marcus became a printer's apprentice. In 1903, he traveled to Kingston, Jamaica, and soon became involved in union activities. In 1907, he took part in an unsuccessful printer's strike and the experience kindled in him a passion for political activism. Three years later, he traveled throughout Central America working as a newspaper editor and writing about the exploitation of migrant workers in the plantations. He later traveled to London where he attended Birkbeck College (University of London) and worked for the African Times and Orient Review, which advocated Pan-African nationalism. Death & Accomplishments Marcus Garvey died in London in 1940 after several strokes. Due to travel restrictions during World War II, his body was interred in London. In 1964, his remains were exhumed and taken to Jamaica, where the government proclaimed him Jamaica's first national hero and re-interred him at a shrine in the National Heroes Park. But his memory and influence remain. His message of pride and dignity inspired many in the early days of the Civil Rights Movement in the 1950s and 1960s. In tribute to his many contributions, Garvey's bust has been displayed in the Organization of American States' Hall of Heroes in Washington, D. C. The country of Ghana has named its shipping line the Black Star Line and its national soccer team the Black Stars, in honor of Garvey.

"Vienna" is a new wave/art rock song by British band Ultravox. It was released as the third single from the band's fourth studio album of the same name. The single was released on Chrysalis Records on 9 January 1981, and is notable for spending four consecutive weeks at number two in the UK Singles Chart without ever getting to number-one. "Vienna" was kept off the UK number-one slot by John Lennon's "Woman" for a week, and then by Joe Dolce's novelty hit, "Shaddap You Face", for a further three weeks, although "Vienna" did sell more copies than either of these records and ranked as the fifth best-selling UK single for 1981. The single was certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry in February 1981, for UK sales exceeding 500,000 copies. Nevertheless, the single peaked at number one on the Top 40 charts in many European areas including the Netherlands, Belgium and Ireland.
Language Policy Language Policy Language policy is concerned with official efforts to affect the relative status and use of one or more languages. Language policies of one sort or another have featured in human history from the earliest times. Latin was carried along with the military conquests of the Romans; French, once one of several dialects within France's borders, was deliberately developed as a unifying national tongue at Cardinal Richelieu's instigation. In a virtually monolingual society, language policy is usually concerned exclusively with promoting an approved, standard grammar of the common language, but in Canada the term is more often associated with a situation in which several languages are in contact or even in conflict. Language policy in Canada is designed to influence the relative use of the various languages in whatever ways are currently judged to serve the general interest. As those perceptions change over time, so does the consensus about what constitutes linguistic justice. Language policy is an evolving accommodation to changing linguistic circumstances and the social and political climate. History of Language Policy in Canada Canadian language policy is the fruit of historical relationships among various language communities. The national language debate has often focused on the use of English and French ( see Francophone-Anglophone Relations ), but both of Canada's official languages were preceded by the languages of the Indigenous peoples and succeeded by many other European and non-European languages ( see Indigenous Languages in Canada ). Of the 3.5 million inhabitants of the 4 original Canadian provinces in 1871, over 2 million were British in origin and over 1 million were French. By 1996, the proportion of those of British origin in the population had decreased substantially. Of 28 528 000 Canadians, 6.6 million claimed French as their mother tongue, 16.9 million claimed English, and 4.6 million claimed a language other than English or French. As well, 366 000 claimed English and one or more languages. The English-speaking community is distributed fairly evenly across Canada, but French-speaking Canadians are concentrated in Québec, New Brunswick, Ontario and parts of Manitoba. It may be assumed that the earliest language policy in the colonies resulted from the usual highly pragmatic and commercial decisions that characterize new contacts between language groups, eg, decisions about which of the available Indigenous or European languages best suited the task at hand. But as the confrontation between the 2 colonizing powers spread to North America, the stage was set for generations of conflict over language and the development of distinctively Canadian language policies. Since the concerns of Indigenous languages were seldom given serious attention, the heart of the Canadian language question became the relative standing and sanctioned uses of English and French. The terms of the treaty by which the French territory was ceded to the British in 1763 were, on the surface, quite tolerant for the times. The right of the francophone population to practise the Roman Catholic religion was recognized, so far as the laws of Great Britain permitted. The French language continued to assert itself in practice, since the Quebec Act of 1774 had restored, in civil law, earlier legislation and customs of the country which were of French origin. Moreover, the Constitutional Act of 1791 had divided the Province of Québec into 2 separate colonies, Upper Canada and Lower Canada, and provided each with an elective assembly. In Lower Canada, the majority of elected parliamentarians were Francophones who saw to it that their language was used alongside English and that it enjoyed equality of status in the parliamentary process. Assembly member Alain Chartier, the marquis of Lotbinière, declared during a parliamentary debate in 1793: "As the largest number of our voters finds itself in a peculiar situation, we are obliged to set aside the ordinary rules and to demand the use of a language which is not that of the Empire; but being as fair to others as we hope they will be to us, we would not wish our language to banish the language of the other subjects of His Majesty. We ask that both be permitted. "The view that it was politically unwise to foster the coexistence of 2 linguistic communities within a single state was expressed by Lord Durham in his report. The Act of Union (1841) reunited Upper and Lower Canada into one province. Section 41 of that Act sanctioned unilingualism in the legislature of the Province of Canada, although it did not prevent translations of documents being made for other purposes. However, they were not deemed to have the force of an original record. This section provoked such sharp protests from francophone members that it had to be repealed in 1848 by the British Parliament. The French language in Canada, through a combination of "habitant" resilience and official tolerance, remained vigorous in many domains of public and private life. By consecrating some of the more institutional uses of French - in laws, in the federal Parliament and in the Québec Legislature, and before federal and Québec courts - the Constitution Act, 1867 was in effect formalizing policies that had already taken root in the developing country. Parents' rights to educate their children in English or French were not enshrined in that Act, but the right to maintain denominational schools was and often has been interpreted as a guarantee of the language of education. If the French language held its own until Confederation, the next 50 years of Canadian expansion and modernization took a heavy toll on both the use of French and the policies believed to support it. During the late 19th and early 20th centuries, several public Acts, such as the abrogation of official bilingualism in Manitoba in 1890 ( see Manitoba Schools Question ), the abolition of French schools in Ontario in 1912 ( see Ontario Schools Question) and the strict limitations imposed on French-language instruction in other provinces, were deliberately aimed at repressing the use of French. Moreover, because the English language was the language of North American commerce, the attractiveness of French tended to decline as the continental economy expanded. By 1963, when the Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism was created by Prime Minister Lester Pearson, the relative status of the French language had declined to an unacceptable extent. The commission, asked to review and assess Canadian language policy, was primarily concerned with promoting a concerted federal-provincial response to what it called the "crisis" in English-French relations. It also had to take account of the fact that increasing numbers of Canadians no longer had any inborn allegiance to either English or French. Language relations had entered a new era, but language policy had not kept pace. The B & B Commission found that French had fallen behind English, eg, in the public service, to a politically and socially unacceptable extent. It urged that a "new charter for the official languages of Canada, a charter founded on the concept of equal partnership" be implemented by both the federal and provincial governments. In 1969, in response to the Commission's recommendations, Parliament passed the Official Languages Act (1969), which was supported by all parties in the House. As part of the ambitious program that followed, the federal government sought to improve its own capacity to deal with Canadians in the official language of their choice and to allow public servants to use either language at work in certain areas. The Act was updated in 1988 ( see Official Languages Act [1988] ). Reaction to federal government reforms was sometimes extremely negative. Besides overseeing federal efforts to comply with the Act, the Commissioner of Official Languages and others have had to devote much energy to persuading Canadians that these reforms are necessary and just. Some provinces, eg, Ontario and New Brunswick, provide government services in both languages and have tried to implement their own language policies, particularly in regard to minority-language and second-language education. The principles of the Official Languages Act and other important components of language policy were enshrined in the 1982 Constitution through the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. The impact of the Act, particularly on the field of minority education, has been somewhat slow to make itself felt; nor does the Charter make federal and provincial language policies complementary in every respect. Some language-policy initiatives by the Québec government appear to be based on a conviction that it is vital that the interests of the province's French-speaking majority be fully protected before significant concessions can be made to any other language group, including the anglophone community. In 1977 Québec adopted the Charter of the French language, Bill 101, making French the only official language of the province and strengthening its position as the most important language of work, commerce and community life. The right to choose English as the language of schooling has been restricted to those parents who meet a rather narrow definition of "English-speaking," and certain public uses of languages other than French have been limited. However, as the use of French has become more firmly established, provincial governments have more recently shown some willingness to relax these restrictions. New Brunswick has its own provincial Official Languages Act, parallel English and French school systems and legislation requiring equal government treatment of both language groups. In 1986 Ontario, home to the largest French-speaking population outside Québec, implemented the French Language Services Act (Bill 8) guaranteeing provincial services in French in those parts of the province where the vast majority of Franco-Ontarians live. The province has also passed legislation making French an official language of the courts. Manitoba, under the terms of its entry into Confederation in 1870, formally recognized the use of English and French in its laws, its legislature and its courts. It failed, however, to abide by these provisions. Following a 1979 Supreme Court decision requiring the reinstatement of institutional bilingualism, the province has been engaged in debating whether to comply retroactively with the Manitoba Act of 1870 or to devise a compromise that would attempt to give contemporary expression to the bilingual spirit of that fundamental law. The matter was submitted to the Supreme Court of Canada, which unanimously declared that all enactments (and ensuing rules and regulations) of the Manitoba legislature printed and published in English only are, and always have been, invalid. However, in the interests of public order and the rule of law, the Court declared at the same time that existing enactments would be deemed to have full force and effect until the deadline set for their translation expires. Language policy strongly influences education policy across Canada. Many provinces, supported financially by the federal government, have extended and improved their minority- and second-language education programs ( see Second-Language Instruction ). During the 1970s and 1980s several provincial governments that had not previously done so took steps to provide elementary and secondary schooling in French. In 1990 a group of francophone parents challenged the provincial government on minority-language educational rights. The Mahe case was decided in favour of the parents by the Supreme Court. In spite of recent developments, the English educational network in Québec remains the most complete minority-language educational system in Canada. In English-speaking provinces the number of students enrolled in French immersion has increased dramatically, and English as a second language is still a compulsory subject for French-speaking children in Québec through a large part of their elementary and secondary schooling. Non-Official Language Groups No clear policy toward all Canadian language groups has been devised. The 1982 Constitution with the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, despite its powerful effects on French and English language policies throughout Canada, has not been signed by Québec. Although major attempts were made through the Meech Lake Accord and the Charlottetown Accord to resolve differences between Québec and the rest of Canada, tensions between these 2 groups still dominate Canadian national politics. This situation means that issues relating to languages other than English or French continue to be overshadowed. International events and changes to the Immigration Act throughout this century have meant that immigration has changed from being largely Caucasian from northwestern Europe to being widely international, with a resulting rise in speakers of a wide variety of languages. Until the 1960s, immigrants were left to learn the majority language of their area on their own or with help from organizations such as churches, Frontier College or the YMCA. Since that time, most provincial governments and the federal government have joined community, private and post-secondary institutions in creating programs to teach official languages as second languages to immigrant adults, although never enough such courses to meet the demand. Expressed motivations for these programs generally link official language learning to the economy and citizenship. Most immigrant children receive some provincially funded support to learn the language of instruction of their schools ( see Second-Language Instruction ). While Canadian schools have long taught non-official languages as "modern" languages, they have intended this neither to take advantage of existing linguistic resources of the country nor to ease immigrants' transition to the English or French community. Non-official linguistic communities continue to support the learning of their ancestral languages through community classes and even private schools. The multiculturalism policy (1971) and Act (1988) have provided some support for ethnolinguistic groups to promote their languages. Since the 1970s, provincial schools have offered many of these languages as subjects (heritage languages) in schools, provoking some controversy. Most of Canada's 50 or more Aboriginal languages have been put at great risk of extinction by repressive education policies and other factors ( see Indigenous Languages in Canada ). While Inuktitut and Cree are used as languages of instruction in the early grades in some northern area schools, Aboriginal languages in other areas are taught in many schools for Aboriginal children as subjects with little teacher or curriculum support, even in the Northwest Territories where Aboriginal languages are official languages along with English and French. Some southern communities have established Aboriginal language immersion programs to revive and maintain languages rapidly losing speakers.

According to the Omnipotence paradox or 'Paradox of the Stone', can God create a stone so heavy that he cannot lift it? Either he can or he can’t. If he can’t, the argument goes, then there is something that he cannot do, namely create the stone, and therefore he is not omnipotent. If he can, it continues, then there is also something that he cannot do, namely lift the stone, and therefore he is not omnipotent. Either way, then, God is not omnipotent. A being that is not omnipotent, though, is not God, according to many theological models. Such a God, therefore, does not exist. Several answers to this paradox have been proposed.
Unicode defines two mapping methods: the Unicode Transformation Format (UTF) encodings, and the Universal Coded Character Set (UCS) encodings. An encoding maps (possibly a subset of) the range of Unicode code points to sequences of values in some fixed-size range, termed code values. The numbers in the names of the encodings indicate the number of bits per code value (for UTF encodings) or the number of bytes per code value (for UCS encodings). UTF-8 and UTF-16 are probably the most commonly used encodings. UCS-2 is an obsolete subset of UTF-16; UCS-4 and UTF-32 are functionally equivalent.

(Standard - August 13, 1935) Italian Woman at Nellie Mines Shot a Negro After SHE WAS FATALLY WOUNDED. Colored Man Had Entered Her home with Intention of Robbery. MAY HAVE GOT THE WRONG MAN. Both Have Since Died From Their Wounds at the Cottage State Hospital Here. William Templeton, colored, died at the Cottage State Hospital, Tuesday afternoon at 1:30 oï¿½clock and Mrs. Antonio Russo at 2:45 oï¿½clock yesterday morning, as a result of wounds received in a mysterious shooting at Nellie coke works near Vanderbilt early Monday morning. The affair has three explanations, two of which are plausible. Shortly after 5 oï¿½clock Monday morning a colored man attempted to enter the Russo home for the ostensible purpose of robbery, Antonio Russo having left for his work on the coke yards at 5 oï¿½clock. Mrs. Russo refused to admit the man, who became angry and after firing several shots at the windows, forced the door. He then shot the woman, who grappled with him and forced him from the house, barring the door after him. The man again forced the door, and Mrs. Russo, who was becoming weak, took up a double barreled shot gun and said to him, ï¿½You have killed me and now you have come back to kill my children.ï¿½ The man was near the door and although the woman was very weak she raised the gun slowly and discharged both barrels. William Templeton was found about two hundred yards from the house an hour after the shooting. He was brought to the hospital and never regained consciousness, his forehead having been battered open by a load of shot. The mystery now rests upon how Templeton was shot. Mrs. Russo shot at her supposed murderer, whom circumstances tend to prove was not Templeton. The colored man was about 19 years of age, well behaved and industrious at 5 every morning on his way to work. His dinner bucket was found near the house after the shooting and when he was found he did not have a revolver in his possession nor could one be found in the vicinity. This would lead to the supposition that Templeton had heard the shots while going to his work and had gone to the house to learn the cause. As he reached the door, Mrs. Russo thinking he was her assailant, fired, inflicting the wound which resulted in his death. That same morning two negroes had committed two robberies in the vicinity of Nellie and it is supposed that one of these entered the Russo home and killed the woman. The killing of Templeton has been placed by some upon several Italians who went upon a manhunt when they learned of the affair but this explanation has been proved false by an investigation.

Guitarist and vocalist , Joe Walsh , also joined the band in 1975 . The Eagles continued that success and hit their commercial peak in late 1976 with the release of Hotel California , which would go on to sell more than 16 million copies in the U.S. alone and more than 32 million copies worldwide . The album yielded two number-one singles , `` New Kid in Town '' and `` Hotel California . '' They released their last studio album for nearly 28 years in 1979 with The Long Run , which spawned three top 10 singles : `` Heartache Tonight , '' `` The Long Run , '' and `` I Ca n't Tell You Why , '' the lead single being another chart-topping hit . The Eagles disbanded in July 1980 but reunited in 1994 for the album Hell Freezes Over , a mix of live and new studio tracks . They toured consistently and were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1998 . In 2007 , the Eagles released Long Road Out of Eden , their first full studio album in 28 years and their sixth number one album . The next year they launched the Long Road Out of Eden Tour in support of the album . In 2013 , they began the extended History of the Eagles Tour in conjunction with the band 's documentary release , History of the Eagles . Following the death of Frey in January 2016 , Henley stated in several interviews that he did n't think the band would perform again . However , in March 2017 it was announced that the Eagles would be headlining two concerts in July 2017 .
The basic equation for solving this is: d = vt + (1/2)at2. where d is distance traveled in a certain amount of time (t), v is starting velocity, a is acceleration (must be constant), and t is time. This gives you the distance traveled during a certain amount of time. If you know any 3 of those things, you can plug them in to solve for the 4th.

This is because of the camera's shutter speed, rather than the sunlight going through the blades. If you pointed the camera at the blades directly, you'd see the same thing. Basically, the camera's framerate syncs up with the rotor, and just so happens to take a picture every time the blades look like they're in the same spot - even though they've spun in the meantime. In fact, if it syncs up especially well you can get even trippier effects, [like this one](_URL_1_). Although not about helicopter rotors, [this video explains it very well.](_URL_0_)

American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) (Pub.L. 111â€“5), nicknamed the Recovery Act, was a stimulus package enacted by the 111th U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Barack Obama in February 2009. Developed in response to the Great Recession, the ARRA's primary objective was to save existing jobs and create new ones as soon as possible. Other objectives were to provide temporary relief programs for those most affected by the recession and invest in infrastructure, education, health, and renewable energy.
Tibial torsion is inward twisting of the tibia (shinbone) and is the most common cause of intoeing. It is usually seen at age 2 years. Males and females are affected equally, and about two thirds of patients are affected bilaterally. Normally, lateral rotation of the tibia increases from approximately 5Âº at birth to approximately 15Âº at maturity.

What types of metals are typically in wires? What type of metal are typically in wires? I believe that usually wires are made out of copper. Are most wires made out of copper? Does the size of the wire usually determine what metal is in a wire? For instance, are larger wires typically composed of copper, while smaller wires are typically composed of iron? Is iron ever used in wires? Is steel ever used in wires? Is aluminum used in wires? I would like a general overview of the types of metal in wires.
Restrictive Lung Disease Drugs & Diseases > Pulmonology Restrictive Lung Disease Updated: Oct 30, 2017Author: Jonathan Robert Caronia, DO; Chief Editor: John J Oppenheimer, MD more... Share Email Print Feedback Background Restrictive lung diseases are characterized by reduced lung volumes, either because of an alteration in lung parenchyma or because of a disease of the pleura, chest wall, or neuromuscular apparatus. Unlike obstructive lung diseases, such as asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), which show a normal or increased total lung capacity (TLC), restrictive disease are associated with a decreased TLC. Measures of expiratory airflow are preserved and airway resistance is normal and the forced expiratory volume in 1 second (FEV 1 )/forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio is increased. If caused by parenchymal lung disease, restrictive lung disorders are accompanied by reduced gas transfer, which may be marked clinically by desaturation after exercise. The many disorders that cause reduction or restriction of lung volumes may be divided into two groups based on anatomical structures. The first is intrinsic lung diseases or diseases of the lung parenchyma. The diseases cause inflammation or scarring of the lung tissue (interstitial lung disease) or result in filling of the air spaces with exudate and debris (pneumonitis). These diseases can be characterized according to etiological factors. They include idiopathic fibrotic diseases, connective-tissue diseases, drug-induced lung disease, environmental exposures (inorganic and organic dusts), and primary diseases of the lungs (including sarcoidosis). The second is extrinsic disorders or extrapulmonary diseases. The chest wall, pleura, and respiratory muscles are the components of the respiratory pump, and they need to function normally for effective ventilation. Diseases of these structures result in lung restriction, impaired ventilatory function, and respiratory failure (eg, nonmuscular diseases of the chest wall, neuromuscular disorders). The mnemonic "PAINT" has been used to divide the causes of restrictive lung disease into pleural, alveolar, interstitial, neuromuscular, and thoracic cage abnormalities. Table 1. Causes of Restrictive Lung Disease (Open Table in a new window)Causes Examples Diagnosis PFT Findings Pleural Trapped lung, pleural scarring, large pleural effusions, chronic empyema, asbestosis Radiography, CT scanning, pleural manometry, pleural biopsy Low RV a, low TLC, low FVCAlveolar Edema, hemorrhage Radiography, CT scanning, physical examination Increased DLCO b in hemorrhage (Intrapulmonary hemoglobin absorbs the carbon monoxide, thus increasing the DLCO reading. )Interstitial Interstitial lung disease including IPF c, NSIP d, COP e Radiography, CT scanning, physical examination, echo often shows pulmonary hypertension Low RV, low FVC, low TLC, decreased DLCO, poor lung compliance Neuromuscular Myasthenia gravis, ALS f, myopathy Physical examination, EMGs g, serology Low RV, low TLC, low NIF h, low MMV i Thoracic/extrathoracic Obesity, kyphoscoliosis, ascites Physical examination Low ERV j and FRC in obesity, low VC k, TLC, FRC l in kyphoscoliosisa Residual volume. b Diffusion capacity of the lungs for carbon monoxide. c Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis. d Nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis. e Cryptogenic organizing pneumonia. f Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. g Electromyography. h Negative inspiratory force. i Maximal voluntary ventilation. j Expiratory reserve volume. k Vital capacity. l Functional residual capacity. Pathophysiology Air flows to and from the alveoli as lungs inflate and deflate during each respiratory cycle. Lung inflation is accomplished by a contraction of respiratory, diaphragmatic, and external intercostal muscles, whereas deflation is passive at rest. Functional reserve capacity (FRC) is the volume of air in the lungs when the respiratory muscles are fully relaxed and no airflow is present. The volume of FRC is determined by the balance of the inward elastic recoil of the lungs and the outward elastic recoil of the chest wall. Restrictive lung diseases are characterized by a reduction in FRC and other lung volumes because of pathology in the lungs, pleura, or structures of the thoracic cage. The distensibility of the respiratory system is called compliance. Compliance is the volume change produced by a change in the distending pressure. Lung compliance is independent of the thoracic cage, which is a semirigid container. The compliance of an intact respiratory system is an algebraic sum of the compliances of both of these structures. Therefore, it is influenced by any disease of the lungs, pleura, or chest wall. In cases of intrinsic lung disease, the physiological effects of diffuse parenchymal disorders reduce all lung volumes by the excessive elastic recoil of the lungs, relative to the outward recoil forces of the chest wall. Expiratory airflow is reduced in proportion to lung volume. Arterial hypoxemia in disorders of pulmonary parenchyma is primarily caused by ventilation-perfusion mismatching, with further contribution from an intrapulmonary shunt. Decreased diffusion of oxygen rarely contributes to hypoxemia because sufficient time still exists for full equilibration of oxygen or carbon dioxide. However, if transit time is significantly shortened, as with exercise, then there can be significant exercise-induced desaturation. Etiology Intrinsic lung diseases Collagen-vascular diseases, including scleroderma, polymyositis, dermatomyositis, systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis, are causes of restrictive lung disease. Other causes may include drugs and other treatments (eg, nitrofurantoin, amiodarone, gold, phenytoin [Dilantin], thiazides, hydralazine, bleomycin, bischloroethylnitrosourea [BCNU or carmustine], cyclophosphamide, methotrexate, radiation). Also see Drug-Induced Pulmonary Toxicity. Causes related to primary or unclassified diseases may include sarcoidosis, pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis, lymphangioleiomyomatosis (LAM), pulmonary vasculitis, alveolar proteinosis, eosinophilic pneumonia, and cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP). Inorganic dust exposure (eg, silicosis, asbestosis, talc, pneumoconiosis, berylliosis, hard metal fibrosis, coal worker's pneumoconiosis, chemical worker’s lung) may cause restrictive lung disease. Organic dust exposure can lead to hypersensitivity pneumonitis (eg, farmer's lung, bird fancier's lung, bagassosis, and mushroom worker's lung, humidifier lung, hot tub pneumonitis). Idiopathic fibrotic disorders These may include acute interstitial pneumonia, IPF (usually interstitial pneumonitis), lymphocytic interstitial pneumonitis, desquamative interstitial pneumonitis, and nonspecific interstitial pneumonitis. Extrinsic disorders Nonmuscular diseases of the chest wall, in which kyphosis can be idiopathic or secondary, may cause restrictive lung disease. The most common cause of secondary kyphoscoliosis is neuromuscular disease (eg, polio, muscular dystrophy). Fibrothorax, massive pleural effusion, morbid obesity, ankylosing spondylitis, and thoracoplasty are other causes. Neuromuscular diseases manifest as respiratory muscle weakness and are due to myopathy or myositis, quadriplegia, or phrenic neuropathy from infectious or metabolic causes. Pleural diseases, including trapped lung or asbestos-related pleural plaques, are an underrecognized, and potentially treatable, cause of restrictive lung disease. Epidemiology Frequency United States For intrinsic lung diseases, studies cite an overall prevalence of 3-6 cases per 100,000 persons. The prevalence of idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is 27-29 cases per 100,000 persons. [ 1, 2] The prevalence for adults aged 35-44 years is 2.7 cases per 100,000 persons. Prevalence exceeded 175 cases per 100,000 persons among patients older than 75 years. Exposure to dust, metals, organic solvents, and agricultural employment is associated with increased risk. In North America, the prevalence of sarcoidosis is 10-40 cases per 100,000 persons. [ 3]The incidence of chronic interstitial lung diseases in persons with collagen-vascular diseases is variable, but it is increasing for most diseases. [ 4]Kyphoscoliosis is a common extrinsic disorder. It is associated with an incidence of mild deformities amounting to 1 case per 1000 persons, with severe deformity occurring in 1 case per 10,000 persons. [ 5]Other nonmuscular and neuromuscular disorders are rare, but their incidence and prevalence are not well known. According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), 35.9% of Americans older than 20 years are obese, and 69% of Americans are at least overweight (body mass index [BMI] 25-30). [ 6]International In Sweden, the prevalence rate for sarcoidosis is 64 cases per 100,000 persons. In Japan, the prevalence rate of sarcoidosis is 10-40 cases per 100,000 persons. The prevalence of sarcoidosis is difficult to determine, and tuberculosis is common. [ 7]Pediatric data from England have demonstrated the prevalence of idiopathic scoliosis to be 1 case per 200 patients aged 6-14 years. [ 8]The worldwide prevalence of fibrotic lung diseases is difficult to determine because studies have not been performed. Race Although a familial variant of IPF exists, a genetic predisposition has not yet been elucidated. [ 9]The incidence among black Americans is 35.5 cases per 100,000 persons. In contrast, the incidence among white Americans is 10.9 cases per 100,000 persons. [ 3]Sex LAM and lung involvement in tuberous sclerosis occur primarily in premenopausal women, although a handful of cases of LAM have been reported in men. Sporadic LAM has a prevalence of approximately 4.9 cases per 1,000,000 women. Men are more likely to have pneumoconiosis because of occupational exposure, IPF, and collagen-vascular diseases (eg, rheumatoid lung). Worldwide, sarcoidosis is slightly more common in women. [ 7]Age IPF is rare in children. Some intrinsic lung diseases present in patients aged 20-40 years. These include sarcoidosis, collagen-vascular–associated diseases, and pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (formerly referred to as histiocytosis X). Most patients with IPF are older than 50 years. [ 10]Prognosis The natural history of interstitial lung diseases is variable. It depends on the specific diagnosis and the extent and severity of lung involvement based on high-resolution CT scanning and lung biopsy. [ 10] IPF is typically a relentless progressive disorder, and patients have a mean survival of 3-6 years after diagnosis. [ 11] Early recognition of IPF is important for directing patient management and predicting prognosis. [ 12]Pulmonary sarcoidosis has a relatively benign self-limiting course, with spontaneous recovery or stabilization in most cases. [ 13] However, up to 20% of patients develop pulmonary fibrosis and disability. [ 14]Prognosis for collagen-vascular diseases, eosinophilic pneumonia, cryptogenic organizing pneumonia (COP), and drug-induced lung disease is generally favorable with treatment. [ 15, 16, 17]Patients with chest wall diseases and neuromuscular disorders develop progressive respiratory failure and succumb during an intercurrent pulmonary infection. [ 18]Mortality/morbidity The mortality and morbidity from various causes of restrictive lung disease is dependent on the underlying case of the disease process. The median survival time for patients with IPF is less than 3 years. Factors that predict poor outcome include older age, male sex, severe dyspnea, history of cigarette smoking, severe loss of lung function, appearance and severity of fibrosis on radiologic studies, lack of response to therapy, and prominent fibroblastic foci on histopathologic evaluation.

The generally accepted hydrothermal model of lode deposition posits that metals dissolved in hydrothermal solutions deposit the gold or other metallic minerals inside the fissures in the pre-existing rocks. Lode deposits are distinguished primarily from placer deposits, where the ore has been eroded out from its original depositional environment and redeposited by sedimentary forces. A third process for ore deposition is as an evaporite. A stringer lode is one in which the rock is so permeated by small veinlets that rather than mining the veins, the entire mass of ore and the enveined county rock is mined. It is so named because of the irregular branching of the veins into many anastomosing stringers, so that the ore is not separable from the country rock. One of largest silver lodes was the Comstock Lode in Nevada, although it is overshadowed by the more recently discovered Cannington Lode in Queensland, Australia. The largest gold lode in the United States was the Homestake Lode. The Broken Hill Lode in South Australia, is the largest lead-zinc lode ever discovered.

Future Shock at 40: What the Tofflers Got Right (and Wrong) \| Fast Company \| Business + Innovation Future Shock at 40: What the Tofflers Got Right (and Wrong) Greg Lindsay 10.15.10 1:00 AM In the opening minutes of Future Shock, a 1972 documentary based on the book of the same name, a bearded, cigar-puffing, world-weary Orson Welles staggers down an airport’s moving walkway, treating the camera like a confidante. "In the course of my work, which has taken me to just about every corner of the globe, I see many aspects of a phenomenon which I’m just beginning to understand," he says. "Our modern technologies have changed the degree of sophistication beyond our wildest dreams. But this technology has exacted a pretty heavy price. We live in an age of anxiety and time of stress. And with all our sophistication, we are in fact the victims of our own technological strengths –- we are the victims of shock… a future shock." Published in 1970, Future Shock made its author Alvin Toffler — a former student radical, welder, newspaper report and Fortune editor — a household name. Written with his wife (and uncredited co-author), Heidi Toffler, the book was The World Is Flat of its day, selling 6 million copies and single-handedly inventing futurism. The Third Wave followed a decade later, and a third dispatch from the future a decade after that. On the 40th anniversary of the book’s publication (which I wrote about yesterday ), it’s worth asking why the Tofflers’ reputation seems stuck in the 1970s when their prognosis was more accurate than not. "Future shock is the shattering stress and disorientation that we induce in individuals by subjecting them to too much change in too short a time," the pair wrote. The accelerating changes they predicted included the "electronic frontier" of the Internet, Prozac, YouTube, cloning, home-schooling, the self-induced paralysis of too many choices, instant celebrities "swiftly fabricated and ruthlessly destroyed," and the end of blue-collar "second-wave" manufacturing, to be replaced by a "third wave" of knowledge workers. Not bad for 1970. Their misses included such classic Jetsonian tropes as underwater cities, handing teenagers the keys to the family spaceship, and the doubling of the planet’s population in just 11 years. And don’t ask Heidi Toffler about the paper clothes we’d use once and throwaway like Kleenex. "I was wrong," she said matter-of-factly at the book’s anniversary conference on Thursday. "But I was trying to make a larger point about a "throw-away society." How many plastic water bottles did we throw away last year?" And then there are the Tofflerisms: "Change is not merely necessary to life — it is life." "Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible." "The illiterate of the future will not be the person who cannot read. It will be the person who does not know how to learn." And still Heidi’s favorite: "Change is the only constant." (I bet you’d forgotten who said that. I had.) Perhaps it says something about the Tofflers’ reputation that while their contemporary Marshall McLuhan was adopted as the " patron saint " of early Wired,, the Toffler’s most ardent admirer among the digerati was AOL founder Steve Case, who read The Third Wave while in college and was captivated by the notion of the "electronic frontier." "Back then, nobody had PCs, and everything we take for granted wasn’t there," Case told me at a dinner for the Tofflers Wednesday night, "but I remember reading it and thinking it was inevitable, and that really inspired me to start what became AOL five years later" in 1985. "There’s no question that was a seminal moment for me." But the Tofflers may yet find traction with a new generation of aspiring futurists.

Economic and political migrations made an impact across the empire. For example, the Russian and Austria-Habsburg annexation of the Crimean and Balkan regions respectively saw large influxes of Muslim refugees – 200,000 Crimean Tartars fleeing to Dobruja. Between 1783 and 1913, approximately 5–7 million refugees flooded into the Ottoman Empire, at least 3.8 million of whom were from Russia. Some migrations left indelible marks such as political tension between parts of the empire (e.g. Turkey and Bulgaria) whereas centrifugal effects were noticed in other territories, simpler demographics emerging from diverse populations. Economies were also impacted with the loss of artisans, merchants, manufacturers and agriculturists. Since the 19th century, a large proportion of Muslim peoples from the Balkans emigrated to present-day Turkey. These people are called Muhacir. By the time the Ottoman Empire came to an end in 1922, half of the urban population of Turkey was descended from Muslim refugees from Russia.

List of Test cricket hat-tricks A player has taken two hat-tricks in the same Test match only once. Playing for Australia against South Africa in the first match of the 1912 Triangular Tournament at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, leg spinner Jimmy Matthews took a hat-trick in South Africa's first and second innings, both taken on 28 May 1912. He completed both hat-tricks by dismissing South Africa's Tommy Ward.[4] Only three other cricketers have taken more than one Test hat-trick: Australian off spinner Hugh Trumble (two years apart, between the same teams at the same ground), Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram (just over a week apart, in consecutive matches between the same teams) and English fast bowler Stuart Broad. Three players have taken a hat-trick on their Test debut: English medium pace bowler Maurice Allom in 1930, New Zealand off-spinner Peter Petherick in 1976, and Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming in 1994.[3] Geoff Griffin took the fewest total Test wickets of any player who recorded a hat-trick, taking only eight wickets in his entire Test career.[3] During the match in which he took his hat-trick, Griffin was repeatedly called for throwing by the umpires and never bowled again in a Test match.[5] Australian Peter Siddle is the only bowler to take a hat-trick on his birthday,[6] and Bangladeshi off spinner Sohag Gazi is the only player to score a century and take a hat-trick in the same Test match.[7]

David Cameron of the Conservative party - bio PARLIAMENT LINK View Parliament profile Bio David William Donald Cameron (/ˈkæm(ə)rən/; born 9 October 1966) is the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and Leader of the Conservative Party. He represents Witney as its Member of Parliament (MP). Cameron studied Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at Brasenose College, Oxford, gaining a first-class honours degree in 1988. He was described by his tutor, Professor Vernon Bogdanor, as "one of the ablest" students he has ever taught, with "moderate and sensible Conservative" political views. While at Oxford he was a member of the Bullingdon Club. He then joined the Conservative Research Department and became Special Adviser to Norman Lamont, and then to Michael Howard. He was Director of Corporate Affairs at Carlton Communications for seven years. Cameron first stood for Parliament in Stafford in 1997. He ran on a Eurosceptic platform, breaking with his party's then-policy by opposing British membership of the single European currency, and was defeated by a swing close to the national average. His first successful attempt to become an MP was in the 2001 general election for the Oxfordshire constituency of Witney. He was promoted to the Opposition front bench two years later, and rose rapidly to become head of policy co-ordination during the 2005 general election campaign. With a public image of a youthful, moderate candidate who would appeal to young voters, he won the Conservative leadership election in 2005. In the 2010 United Kingdom general election held on 6 May, the Conservatives won 306 seats in a hung parliament. After five days of negotiation, Cameron formed a coalition with the Liberal Democrats (Lib Dems). Cameron leads the first coalition government of the United Kingdom since the Second World War. The 43-year-old Cameron became the youngest British Prime Minister since the Earl of Liverpool 198 years earlier. Cameron's premiership has been marked by the ongoing effects of the late-2000s financial crisis leading to a large deficit in government finances, which his government has emphasised the need to reduce through austerity measures. His administration has introduced large-scale changes to welfare, immigration policy, education and healthcare, by introducing the Welfare Reform Act of 2012, the Education Act of 2011, the Health and Social Care Act of 2012 and a range of immigration reforms from 2010 onwards, culminating in the Immigration Act of 2014. In 2011, Cameron became the first British Prime Minister to 'veto' an EU treaty. His government introduced a nationwide referendum on voting reform in 2011, a Falkland Islands sovereignty referendum in 2013, agreed to a Scottish independence referendum in September 2014, legalised same-sex marriages in England and Wales, met the United Nations target of spending at least 0.7% of GNI on aid to developing countries and promised an 'In/Out' Referendum on the European Union in 2017, after a period of renegotiation, if the Conservatives are re-elected with an outright majority.
