The territory that now constitutes Tajikistan was previously home to several ancient cultures, including the city of Sarazm of the Neolithic and the Bronze Age, and was later home to kingdoms ruled by people of different faiths and cultures, including the Oxus civilization, Andronovo culture, Buddhism, Nestorian Christianity, Zoroastrianism, and Manichaeism. The area has been ruled by numerous empires and dynasties, including the Achaemenid Empire, Sassanian Empire, Hephthalite Empire, Samanid Empire, Mongol Empire, Timurid dynasty, and the Russian Empire. As a result of the breakup of the Soviet Union, Tajikistan became an independent nation in 1991. A civil war was fought almost immediately after independence, lasting from 1992 to 1997. Since the end of the war, newly established political stability and foreign aid have allowed the country's economy to grow.

Despite New York's heavy reliance on its vast public transit system, streets are a defining feature of the city. Manhattan's street grid plan greatly influenced the city's physical development. Several of the city's streets and avenues, like Broadway, Wall Street, Madison Avenue, and Seventh Avenue are also used as metonyms for national industries there: the theater, finance, advertising, and fashion organizations, respectively.
. Explanation of HOMONYMS, HOMOPHONES, HOMOGRAPHS, and HETERONYMSBuzzy Bee riddles are a play on the sound and spelling of words. This is easily done because many words in the English language sound alike or are spelled alike but have different meanings. Bee is spelled with two "e's" and therefore any words with the letters "b" and "e" are likely to have an extra "e" when misspelled by Buzzy. While the following words are spelled correctly, look for their misspellings in the Buzzy Bee riddles and Buzzy's "answers. "be beautiful because become behave behind beware maybe What other words might Buzzy misspell? (Hint: look up "be" in the dictionary. )Buzzy Bee riddles use misspelling to manipulate the meaning of words. Although not correctly spelled, these words might qualify as homophones (words that sound alike, but have a different spelling). HOMONYMS are words that sound alike but have different meanings. Homophones are a type of homonym that also sound alike and have different meanings, but have different spellings. HOMOGRAPHS are words that are spelled the same but have different meanings. Heteronyms are a type of homograph that are also spelled the same and have different meanings, but sound different. WORDS THAT BOTH SOUND THE SAME AND ARE SPELLED THE SAME are both homonyms (same sound) and homographs (same spelling). Example: lie (untruth) and lie (prone); fair (county fair), fair (reasonable).
Heliocentric model from Nicolaus Copernicus' De revolutionibus orbium coelestium (On the Revolutions of the Heavenly Spheres) Copernican heliocentrism is the name given to the astronomical model developed by Nicolaus Copernicus and published in 1543. It positioned the Sun near the center of the Universe, motionless, with Earth and the other planets rotating around it in circular paths modified by epicycles and at uniform speeds.

The Last House on the Left is a 2009 American horror film directed by Dennis Iliadis and written by Carl Ellsworth and Adam Alleca . It is a remake of the 1972 film of the same name , and stars Tony Goldwyn , Monica Potter , Garret Dillahunt , Spencer Treat Clark , Martha MacIsaac and Sara Paxton . The film follows the parents -LRB- Goldwyn and Potter -RRB- of Mari Collingwood -LRB- Paxton -RRB- , who attempt to get revenge on a group of strangers , led by a man named Krug -LRB- Dillahunt -RRB- , that have taken shelter at their home during a thunderstorm . The film rights were picked up by Rogue Pictures in 2006 , with the remake being the first film produced by Wes Craven 's new production studio Midnight Pictures . Craven , who wrote and directed the 1972 original , was interested to see what kind of film could be produced on a large budget , as the limited funds in 1972 forced him to eliminate scenes he had wanted to film to tell a complete story . Alleca 's original script included elements of the supernatural , which prompted the studio to reject it and bring in Ellsworth to perform a rewrite . One of the elements director Iliadis wanted to avoid with this film , given its graphic nature , was turning it into torture porn -- a subgenre of horror popularized by the Saw franchise . For Craven and Iliadis , The Last House on the Left primarily illustrates how even the most normal of families can be driven to evil acts if pushed too far . The film was released on March 13 , 2009 , and took the top spot away from Watchmen with $ 5.6 million in weekend revenue . The Last House on the Left was met with mixed reviews from critics . Audience opinion ranked the film at a `` B '' level , from a scale of `` A to F '' ; the film would ultimately gross $ 45,286,228 worldwide .
How Much Does a Concrete House Foundation Cost? Home > Home Improvement > Foundations & Framing > Concrete House Foundation Costs How Much Does a Concrete House Foundation Cost? Concrete Foundation Prices A house foundation is the base upon which everything else is built. While older homes sometimes have stone foundations, almost all modern buildings use a concrete foundation. There are three major types of concrete foundations: a crawl space, slab-on-grade and a full-height basement. Slab-on-grade is the simplest kind of foundation. This is a concrete slab poured on a flat, leveled dirt surface and is a popular choice for areas with a high water table. A crawl space foundation has an accessible space with limited headroom. Crawl spaces can be used for storage space but not living space and is often chosen in places with high clay content in the soil. Finally, a full-height basement foundation is an accessible space which can be finished into a living area or left as storage space. Full height basements are typical in colder climates where the foundation needs to be under the frost level to prevent cracking. Concrete Foundation Costs The cost of a new cement foundation is determined by the necessary amount of materials and labor. A concrete slab will always be the cheapest because it is very minimal while a full-height basement is relatively much larger and more expensive. A crawl space is somewhere in-between. Below are some concrete prices to help you determine your new concrete foundation cost. Concrete is typically measured by cubic yards (3'x3'x3'). An average cost for a cubic yard of concrete is $75 to $125, depending on how much is needed and local prices. Labor costs to pour and form concrete run somewhere around $3.50 to $7.00 per square foot. One homeowner paid $11,000 for a crawl space for a 1,500 square foot home. One customer in Texas received a quote for a 2,500 square foot foundation slab of about $20,000. A homeowner in Montana reports paying about $35,000 for a 30'x70' foundation with 9' high walls 8" thick. Concrete Network.com offers this free concrete cost calculator. Rebar (needed to reinforce the strength of concrete) costs approximately 50 cents to 80 cents per pound. To figure out how much you need for your home, read this article on e How.com. You will need to acquire a building permit from your local municipality. Prices vary depending on the size of the building project and your location. Pouring a crawl space or full-height foundation is fairly complicated and making a mistake could doom the construction of your entire home. It should be left to a professional.

Portugal -LRB- Portuguese : -LSB- puɾtuˈɣaɫ -RSB- -RRB- , officially the Portuguese Republic -LRB- -LSB- República Portuguesa , links = no -RSB- -RRB- -LRB- Portuguese : -LSB- ʁɨ ` publikɐ puɾtu ' ɣezɐ -RSB- -RRB- In recognized minority languages of Portugal : República Pertuesa is a sovereign state located on the Iberian Peninsula in southwestern Europe . It is the westernmost country of mainland Europe . To the west and south it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and to the east and north by Spain . The Portugal -- Spain border is 1214 km long and considered the longest uninterrupted border within the European Union . The republic also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira , both autonomous regions with their own regional governments . The territory of modern Portugal has been continuously settled , invaded and fought over since prehistoric times . The Pre-Celts , Celts , Carthaginians and Romans were followed by the invasions of the Visigothic and the Suebi Germanic peoples . Portugal as a country was born in the aftermath of the Christian Reconquista against the Moors who had invaded the Iberian Peninsula in 711 AD and occupied most of it ever since . Precipitated by the seminal event for its foundation , the Battle of São Mamede , where Portuguese forces led by Afonso Henriques defeated forces led by his mother Theresa of Portugal and her lover Fernão Peres de Trava , which established the nation 's sovereignty against rival neighbor kingdoms . Following São Mamede , the future king styled himself Prince of Portugal . He would be proclaimed King of Portugal in the Battle of Ourique in 1139 and was recognised as such by neighbouring kingdoms in 1143 . In the 15th and 16th centuries , Portugal established the first global empire , becoming one of the world 's major economic , political and military powers . During this time , Portuguese explorers pioneered maritime exploration in the Age of Discovery , notably under royal patronage of Prince Henry the Navigator and King João II , with such notable discoveries as Bartolomeu Dias 's reach of the Cape of Good Hope -LRB- 1488 -RRB- , the Vasco da Gama 's sea route to India -LRB- 1497 -- 98 -RRB- and the discovery of Brazil -LRB- 1500 -RRB- . Portugal monopolized the spice trade during this time , and the Portuguese Empire expanded with military campaigns led in Asia . But the destruction of Lisbon in a 1755 earthquake , the country 's occupation during the Napoleonic Wars , the independence of Brazil -LRB- 1822 -RRB- , and the Liberal Wars -LRB- 1828 -- 34 -RRB- , all left Portugal crippled from war and diminished in its world power . After the 1910 revolution deposed the monarchy , the democratic but unstable Portuguese First Republic was established , later being superseded by the Estado Novo right-wing authoritarian regime . Democracy was restored after the Portuguese Colonial War and the Carnation Revolution in 1974 . Shortly after , independence was granted to almost all its overseas territories . The handover of Macau to China in 1999 marked the end of the longest-lived colonial empire . Portugal has left a profound cultural and architectural influence across the globe and a legacy of over 250 million Portuguese speakers today . Portugal is a developed country with a high-income advanced economy and a high living standard . It is the 5th most peaceful country in the world , maintaining a unitary semi-presidential republican form of government . It has the 18th highest Social Progress in the world , putting it ahead of other Western European countries like France , Spain and Italy . A founding member of NATO and the Community of Portuguese Language Countries , it is also a member of numerous other international organizations , including the United Nations , the European Union , the eurozone , and the OECD . Portugal is a pioneer when it comes to drug decriminalization , as the nation decriminalized the possession of all drugs for personal use in 2001 . LGBT rights in Portugal have improved substantially in the past two decades and are now among the best in the world . Moreover , after years of investment and cooperation , Portugal marked a climax on renewable energy worldwide in 2016 , when it was powered for 107 consecutive hours exclusively by wind , sun , and water , which advocates say further shows fossil fuels are indeed replaceable .
Nematanthus is a genus of flowering plants of the family Gesneriaceae. All of its species are endemic to Brazil.

The final was watched by 17.71 million people , making it the highest rated television episode of 2010 in the UK .
American Civil War The Union and Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years. The Union finally won the war when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House, followed by a series of surrenders by Confederate generals throughout the southern states. Four years of intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead, more than the number of U.S. military deaths in all other wars combined (at least until approximately the Vietnam War).[15] Much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially the transportation systems, railroads, mills, and houses. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and 4 million slaves were freed. The Reconstruction Era (1863â€“1877) overlapped and followed the war, with the process of restoring national unity, strengthening the national government, and granting civil rights to freed slaves throughout the country. The Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in U.S. history.[16]

Dragonfly - CreationWiki, the encyclopedia of creation science Dragonfly Petaluridae Unidentified Dragonflies are species of predatory insects belonging to the taxonomic suborder Epiprocta. It is characterized by large multifaceted eyes, two pairs of strong transparent wings, and an elongated body. Dragonflies typically eat mosquitoes , midges and other small insects like flies , bees , and butterflies . They are usually found around lakes, ponds, streams and wetlands because their larvae , known as "nymphs", are aquatic. Dragonflies do not normally bite or sting humans, though they will bite in order to escape, if grasped by the abdomen. They are valued as predators that help control populations of harmful insects. [1] Contents Anatomy Dragonfly anatomy Immature dragonflies have six spindly legs, and a body that is only a few times longer than it is wide. They have two fairly big eyes. Some of their mouthparts are modified to shoot forward and grab prey. They breathe water through gills in their abdomen, and can squirt this water out fast to give themselves a quick jet-propelled movement. Adult dragonflies are easy to recognize. They have long thin bodies, very large eyes, and they hold their 2 pairs of wings out flat on either side. Their legs sometimes have many long stiff hairs. Immature dragonflies are usually brown or greenish, and sometimes have algae growing on them. Adult dragonflies can be very colorful, some are red, blue, yellow, or green. [2] Reproduction Dragonflies undergo incomplete metamorphosis with the female dragonfly typically laying eggs water. They mate in a circular or "wheel" position. The male dragonfly transfers sperm from its primary set of genitalia at the tip of its abdomen to the secondary set at the base of its abdomen. When the male finds a female it grasps it by the top of its head. The female then reaches the tip of her abdomen around to male's penis. Sperm is transferred to the female's ovipositor and the eggs are fertilized. This can be a long process. Because the female can mate more than once, part of the time is spent while the male removes the sperm of other males with specialized organs called hamules. Only then can it be sure that it is his sperm that has fertilized the eggs. Many species remain linked together until the female is finished laying her eggs. In others, the male hovers nearby to guard the female until she is finished. Dragonflies always perch with their wings flat and spread apart, while Damselflies (close relatives) usually hold their wings together over the body when they are at rest. The exceptions to this rule are the Damselflies known as spreadwings, which keep their wings angled away from their bodies at rest. Dragonflies regulate body temperature by assuming different postures, its a way of holding their bodies, and selecting specific perching sites. In cool weather they land on sun-facing perches. In hot weather they avoid overheating by sticking the abdomen almost straight up in the air to expose the least possible body surface area to the hot sun. [3] Ecology Dragonflies specialize in different kinds of hunting techniques. The larva stage is characterized by three basic strategies. Some stalk their prey in vegetation (climbers). Others lie in the mud and debris at the bottom of a pond and wait for prey (sprawlers). One species burrows itself completely in the mud (burrower). While the prey of the larvae is mostly other aquatic insects, some of the larger nymphs attack tadpoles and small fish. The adult dragonfly is a formidable hunting insect. Incredibly agile, it uses the basket formed by its legs to catch insects on the fly. It eats mainly mosquitoes, midges, and other small flying insects. Dragonflies eat several different kinds of insects. They catch their prey with their six legs. Their favorite prey are flies and mosquitoes. They are high in protein and very good for the dragonfly. The dragonfly will most likely be hunting on sunny days. If there is a day that the dragonfly needs food, and is not sunny, then it may eat a dead fly or mosquito. [4] Co

There is currently speculation about whether this is a real condition or not, and if yes, how and why. However, assuming that it is, yes, there is usually one person who has extra personalities. These personalities are generally quite two-dimensional and represent one suppressed emotion. So you could have a fearful extra persona, an angry one, a manic one, etc. The single emotion they fulfil and personify is what tells them apart of the main, who is a complex persona.

This tax was resented by the people as it permitted the tax assessor to enter your home for inspection at any time. Brick Tax 1784 – 1850 Taxed at 4 shillings per thousand bricks, this tax funded the war in the American Colonies. Masons manufactured larger bricks to alleviate the tax, which prompted Parliament to restrict brick sizes and raise the tax to 5 shillings and 10 pennies. New buildings were made from lumber and weatherboarding, instead of bricks, which ultimately led to a repeal of the brick tax and the English construction economy took a boost as a result. Stolen Property Tax 2012 The IRS’s 1040 instructions indicate that you should list any stolen property gained during the previous year. However, since this would be self-incrimination, which is protected by the Constitution, you may report stolen property as “other income”. Pet Tax 2009 – 2013 In Durham County, NC, you must declare your pets as personal property, obtain a license and pay an annual fee. Spot and Fluffy’s taxes were $10 each if spayed or neutered, or $75 each if they weren’t fixed. Window Tax 1696 – 1851 This was considered to be a fair tax by the British Parliament, since the rich had larger homes and thus more windows. However, the people avoided the tax by bricking up windows, which led to health problems and the eventual repeal of the window tax over 150 years later. Television Tax 1946 – Current If you own a TV, you must buy an annual TV license to support the BBC – £145.50 for colour and £49.00 for black and white. Even if you are blind, you must pay half the annual fee! Failure to pay can result in criminal penalties. In 2012 there were 155,000 convictions for TV tax evasion. Rain Tax 2013 – Current Ten counties in Maryland will be paying for any structure that prevents rainwater from soaking into the ground – sidewalks, roofs, patios, driveways and more. This tax is supposed to support the Chesapeake Bay by preventing rainwater run-off. The tax rate is calculated and enforced by satellite imagery. Ironically, government buildings are exempt from the rain tax, while churches and non-profits aren’t! Hat Tax 1784 – 1811 This tax was intended to raise revenue for the government in accordance with each man’s wealth, as it was supposed that wealthy men bought more hats. The tax was imposed on both the seller and buyer, with stiff fines for tax evasion. The death penalty was even used for those who forged the tax license at a business or a stamp inside hats! Understandably, the hat tax eventually made mens hats unpopular. Fruit Tax 2009 – Current If you’re buying California fruit from a vending machine in California, you’re subject to a 33% tax. Ouch. Don’t ask why anyone would buy fruit from a vending machine. Wallpaper Tax 1712 – 1836 Painted, printed or patterned wallpaper was taxed at one penny per square yard and in 1809 that rose to one shilling per yard. In today’s currency value, that’s £3.07 per yard. Like most taxes, the people found a way to circumvent it – buying untaxed, plain wallpaper and stenciling or painting it themselves. Sliced Bagel Tax 2010 – Current A whole bagel is only subject to sales tax in New York. However if a bagel is altered – sliced, toasted, served with toppings or eaten in the store – you are subject to an additional 8 cent tax.
Indian River Lagoon Species Inventory A Word About Species Names... Many people wonder why scientists use complicated, hard to pronounce names when speaking about familiar animals and plants. Common names such as blue crab, redfish, and dolphin are successfully used in casual communication, and convey an immediate idea of what a particular animal or plant looks like. Scientists avoid using common names because they are often not specific to a particular species. For instance, the blue crab is only one of many species of crabs that can be described as blue. In the Indian River Lagoon alone, there are several species of "blue crabs": the blue crab (Callinectes sapidus), the lesser blue crab (Callinectes similis), the red blue crab (Callinectes bocourti), the ornate blue crab (Callinectes ornatus), and the blue land crab (Cardisoma guanhumi). Common names can also be confusing in other respects. Another familiar problem occurs when a species has more than one common name. For example, the striped mullet, Mugil cephalus, is found all over the world, and has a variety of common names (striped mullet, black mullet, sea mullet, flathead mullet, and gray mullet) which are used in different regions. Still another problem arises when a species is so obscure that it has no common name. Thus, to avoid any confusion or ambiguity in scientific research, biologists use scientific names in identifying species. What's in a Name? The system of naming species was first developed by Swedish botanist and physician, Carolus Linnaeus in the mid- 1700s. Linnaeus is the father of the branch of biology called taxonomy, which seeks to describe, name and classify organisms. His system of naming species, still in use today, begins with assigning all species a two-part Latin name called a binomial. The first word of the binomial is the genus name of the species, and the second word is the specific epithet for the species. For example (see figure above), the scientific name for the blue crab is Callinectes sapidus. Callinectes, the genus name, is the collective term which includes many species of crabs closely related to the blue crab. The specific epithet, sapidus, describes exactly which of the Callinectes species is being identified. How does Taxonomy Work? Linnaeus' original classification system is based on 2 main goals. The first is to distinguish between closely related species and assign them as separate species based on differences in specific traits called diagnostic characters. The second goal of taxonomy is to organize groups of similar species into broader and more collective categories. For example, the species name for the domestic cat is Felis catus. Felis denotes the genus name for this species, while catus denotes the unique specific epithet for the species. The housecat is closely related to several other feline species such as the bobcat, Felis rufus, and the cougar, Felis concolor, so they are all placed in the same genus. Members of the genus Felis are also related, though less closely, to other cat genera such as Panthera, which includes lions, leopards and tigers; and Leopardus, which includes the ocelots. Because the members of all of these genera are cats, they can be grouped together under the family Felidae. At the Order level, cats are grouped with other animals that are quite different in physical appearance and general behavior, but with whom they share other basic attributes. In this case, cats, dogs, bears and some other groups are all predators that hunt and prey upon other animals. They are thus grouped together in the Order Carnivora, which includes meat eating animals. At the Class level, cats and other predatory animals are grouped with non-predators with whom they share specific biological traits. In this case cats, dogs, bears, sheep, horses, cows, giraffes, whales, and many other groups, including people, belong to Class Mammalia (mammals). All mammals have hair, are warm-blooded, and give birth to live young which feed via mammary glands. At the Phylum level, cats are included with

At that time, it was an unimproved county road that ran from State Route 5 (now US 95) at Indian Springs to the northern border of what was then called the Nevada National Forest. [2] By 1935, this road had been designated as State Route 52, and apparently extended through the national forest (along what may now be State Route 158) ending at State Route 39 (now SR 157) east of Charleston Peak. [3]The routing of SR 52 had been changed by 1937. The highway was moved to the current alignment of Lee Canyon Road, beginning on State Route 5 several miles southeast of Indian Springs and ending in Lee Canyon. Around the same time, the highway designation was extended further west. SR 52 now traveled southwest through the national forest lands, crossing State Route 16 (now SR 160) in Pahrump to end at the California state line (on what is now California State Route 178) en route to Shoshone, resulting in approximately 47 miles (76 km) of unimproved highway. [4] By 1940, the eastern end of the route between US 95 and the Nevada National Forest had been fully paved. However, a gap now existed between the paved portion of the highway within the national forest and the unimproved road southwest of the western forest boundary. [5] A trail through the Spring Mountains would connect the two segments of State Route 52 in later years. [6] While improvements were made to the western portion of the route in the 1950s and 1960s, [7] [8] the trail through Clark Canyon was never improved to a full roadway. On July 1, 1976, Nevada began the process of renumbering all of the state's numbered highways. The Lee Canyon Road portion of SR 52 was redesignated as State Route 156, while the portion between Pahrump and the California state line was renumbered to State Route 372. [9] The remainder of the route, from Pahrump to the Toiyabe National Forest, was removed from the state highway system. The changes in route numbering were reflected on official state highway maps beginning in 1978. [10]By 2017, the first 0.627 miles (1.009 km) of SR 156 at the Lee Canyon ski area had been removed from the routing. [1]The Nevada Department of Transportation designated State Route 156 as a Nevada Scenic Byway in July 1998. The "Mount Charleston/Lee Canyon Road" scenic route encompasses the entire 17.5 miles (28.2 km) of highway.

Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies \| Fashion / Culture \| Phaidon Store Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies Enter the extraordinary hidden world of the most famous and influential milliner, Philip Treacy Editions: 270 x 205 mm, 10 5/8 x 8 1/8 in 200 pp ISBN-10: 0714865273 About the book For the very first time, Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies, provides a unique, behind-the-scenes portrait of one of the world's most famous and influential milliners. Philip Treacy has allowed a single photographer, his friend Kevin Davies, personal access to his life, studio and working method for the past 20 years. The result is a wonderful exploration into the world of a true craftsman, designer to the stars and creative magician. Born in the west of Ireland and an MA student in Fashion Design at the Royal College of Arts in London, Treacy graduated in 1990 and was discovered by the then Style Editor of Tatler Isabella Blow. He soon became, and has remained, the milliner of choice for many of the top fashion designers including Alexander McQueen, Karl Lagerfeld, Valentino and Chanel, but is also the first milliner invited to have his own show during Paris couture week. The recipient of numerous international fashion awards, Treacy is credited with changing the perception of hat and accessories in fashion. Treacy's unique creations are hand-made to order for the like of Grace Jones, Victoria Beckham, Madonna, The Duchess of Cambridge and the daughters of Prince Andrew. Hat maker to royalty and the stars, Treacy designed over 30 hats for the 2011 wedding between Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge. He has designed hats for films, including the enormously successful Harry Potter franchise and has also developed ranges for high street fashion outlets. Treacy is averse to having outsiders watch him while he works. However, there is one photographer who is allowed in his studio to hunt for shots. Capturing beautiful, poignant and intriguing images of Treacy on his own, with his muses, or fitting his one-off creations, Kevin Davies has had intimate access to the famous designer. He has explored his outlandish workshops, like greenhouses of tropical plants that metamorphose into devilishly complex craftsmanship and the most amazing final creations. Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies presents a rare insight into a monumental career. Illustrated with around 200 photographs, including a section of still life photography devoted entirely to the most iconic works by Treacy, this book is an unequalled record of the designer's life. The photographs are accompanied by anecdotes and insights by both Treacy and Davies, offering personal appreciation of events, designs and directions from the past two decades. The book reveals the extraordinary world and creative genius of a highly influential figure. In The Press 'Lovely... All the most iconic designs are here.' - The Observer 'How did one man change our minds on headgear? Philip Treacy by Kevin Davies celebrates [...] backroom moments of Treacy's career, no less striking than the headpieces he creates... The unseen stories behind all the 'moments'.' - The Independent 'An usually revealing insight into the designer's work.' - Harper's Bazaar 'Revealing [...] photos of Treacy at work. He looks determined and serious, but he has a kind face and he's never a poseur... In short, this is a cool book about a great guy.' - VICE 'The head-topper extraordinaire gets a tip of the cap in the new book… Featuring over 200 images of the milliner's museum-quality lids, including head-turning snaps of mega-fierce singer and Bond villainess Grace Jones.' - InStyle 'Inside the pages are 200 intimate pictures covering everything from Treacy's years at 69 Elizabeth Street to the scene backstage at fashion shows to the dignified funeral held for Treacy's beloved Jack Russell terrier, Mr. Pig.' - The New York Times Style Magazine blog About the author(s) Kevin Davies is primarily a portrait photographer and has photographed subjects as diverse as Tom Jones, Shane McGowan, Bridgette Fonda, Martin Sheen, mem

They will lay best at 1 to 2 years of age. All pullets (female chicken under 1 year of age) lay small eggs at first and after a while will lay larger eggs. Younger hens will lay 1 egg every 3-4 days. A hen 30 weeks old can lay 2 eggs every 3 days.
Marksman The main difference between military marksmen and snipers is that marksmen are usually considered an organic part of a fireteam of soldiers and are never expected to operate independently, whereas snipers usually work alone or in very small teams with independent mission objectives. Snipers are also often tasked with responsibilities other than delivering long-range fire â€” specifically, conducting reconnaissance and directing coordinates for artillery fire or air strikes. Within the military, marksmen are sometimes attached to an infantry fireteam or squad (where they are known as designated marksmen) where they support the squad by providing accurate long-range shots at valuable targets as needed, thus extending the effective tactical reach of the fireteam or squad.
The CPU contains a special set of memory cells called registers that can be read and written to much more rapidly than the main memory area. There are typically between two and one hundred registers depending on the type of CPU. Registers are used for the most frequently needed data items to avoid having to access main memory every time data is needed. As data is constantly being worked on, reducing the need to access main memory (which is often slow compared to the ALU and control units) greatly increases the computer's speed.

There are numerous sensors available for temperature measurement under the name thermal sensors. Popular ones are the thermistor, thermocouple, RTD. Diodes can be used to sense temperature due to the change in their forward voltage with change in temperature. One of the advantage of using diodes is they have a nearly linear relationship between temperature and voltage applied.

1600s \| 1700s \| 1800âs. Benjamin Franklin was one of most innovative Americans of all time. In deed, his work and experiments resulted in several important discoveries and inventions including electricity, bifocal glasses, a usable battery and many more. Ben Franklin believed electricity could be harnessed from lightning. In 1752, he devised an experiment to test his theory. Although details of the experiment remain sketchy to this day, Franklin originally wanted to test his theory atop a spire that was to be built on a Philadelphia church.
Black Panther - Common Definition Black Panther Animal Classification - Common View The commonly used word panther is derived from the Latin word panthera which is a genus name of the animal subfamily Felinae (the cats) in taxonomy. The genus panthera contains four well-known living species: lions, tigers, jaguars, and leopards. Only these four cat species have the anatomical changes or morphological features enabling them to roar. Some people also include snow leopards in the panthera group, but they can not roar. Black panther is not a distinct species but just a common name for a black specimen (melanistic variant) of several species of cats belong to the genus panthera. Melanism occurs because of a mutation or abnormality of one of the cat genes associated with coat coloration and markings. Melanism is hereditary, but it is not necessarily passed directly from one generation to the next. Melanism is most common in the leopard and jaguar. There are occasional reports about a black variant in other species of cats within the panthera group, but none of them has been confirmed to produce an all-black variant of cats. The darkest confirmed tigers (some call them black tigers) still have orange stripes. Therefore black leopard and black jaguar are the only two legitimate types of black panther scientifically recognized in the genus panthera group. Scientists classify the biological world into a series of categories beginning with the broadest and ending with the most specific. This classification system is called taxonomy. Here is a taxonomy chart for the panthera family: Kindom Animalia

Comply with FATCA & CRSCompliance overview Reporting for FATCA & CRSDocumentation for FATCA & CRSExpert guidance and reference materials Key terms you need to know What is FATCA? FATCA promotes cross border tax compliance by implementing an international standard for the automatic exchange of information related to US taxpayers. FATCA regulations require tax authorities obtain detailed account information for US taxpayers on an annual basis. FATCA is intended to increase transparency for the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) with respect to US persons that may be investing and earning income through non-US institutions. While the primary goal is to gain information about US persons, FATCA imposes tax withholding where the applicable documentation and reporting requirements are not met. Download our special report on preparing for global reporting standards What is CRS? CRS, developed by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD), is a global reporting standard for the automatic exchange of information (AEo I). The goal of CRS is to allow tax authorities to obtain a clearer understanding of financial assets held abroad by their residents, for tax purposes. More than 96 countries have agreed to share information on residents' assets and incomes in conformation with reporting standards. FATCA and CRS have similar characteristics on the surface, but underneath there are major differences. CRS is more wide reaching and requires a unified, cross-team effort to ensure readiness and compliance. Watch our webinar on FATCA & CRSRead our survey report on the challenges faced during the first year of CRS filings Who do CRS and FATCA requirements affect? FATCA requirements affect US withholding agents and US multinational companies, but the greatest impact is on Foreign Financial Institutions (FFIs). Watch our webinar on preparing your organization for CRS reporting How to overcome challenges with FATCA regulations Current strategies implemented to tackle FATCA may not be sufficient to handle the increasing volume of tax reporting required moving forward. As a result, financial institutions must expand their tax operations capabilities to meet increasing regulatory demands. Financial institutions need a market-leading compliance tool that will analyze and monitor local tax laws, compile data from a myriad of sources, produce and validate tax information reports and transmit those reports to the proper tax authorities.

FilmNav – The website highway for British film-makers \| FilmNav Interview: Oliver Reed (13 February 1938 – 2 May 1999) was an English actor known for his burly screen presence. Reed exemplified his real-life macho image in “tough guy” roles. His films include The Trap, Oliver!, Women in Love, Hannibal Brooks, The Triple Echo, The Devils, The Three Musketeers, Tommy, Castaway, Lion of the Desert and Gladiator. Early life Reed was born Robert Oliver Reed in Wimbledon, London, to sports journalist Peter Reed and his wife Marcia (née Andrews).[1] He was the nephew of film director Sir Carol Reed, and grandson of the actor-manager Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree by his alleged mistress May Pinney Reed. He was alleged to have been a descendant (through an illegitimate step) of Tsar Peter the Great of Russia.[2] Reed attended Ewell Castle School in Surrey. Career After time in the British Army, serving in the Royal Army Medical Corps, Reed commenced his thespian career as an extra in films in the late 1950s. He had no acting training or theatrical experience. Oliver Reed appeared uncredited in an early Norman Wisdom classic, The Square Peg in 1958, and again with Norman Wisdom in another of his classic comedy films, The Bulldog Breed in (1960), where Reed played the leader of a gang of teddy boys roughing up Norman in a cinema. Reed got his first notable roles in Hammer Films’ Sword of Sherwood Forest (1960), The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll (1960), Captain Clegg (1962), Pirates of Blood River (1962), and The Curse of the Werewolf (1961). Reed also starred in Paranoiac, and The Damned. In 1964 he starred in the first of six films directed by Michael Winner, The System, (known as The Girl-Getters in the U.S.). More Hammer Films productions followed, such as The Brigand Of Kandahar (1965). He first collaborated with director Ken Russell in a TV biopic of Claude Debussy in 1965, and later played Dante Gabriel Rossetti in Russell’s subsequent TV biopic Dante’s Inferno (1967). In 1966 Reed played a mountain fur trapper, with co-star Rita Tushingham, in an action-adventure film The Trap with a soundtrack by British film composer Ron Goodwin. Reed’s presence could be seen in The Shuttered Room (1967), after which came another performance in the film Women in Love (1969), in which he wrestled nude with Alan Bates in front of a log fire. The controversial 1971 film The Devils was followed in the summer of 1975 by the musical film Tommy, based on The Who’s 1969 concept album Tommy and starring its lead singer Roger Daltrey: all three films were directed by Ken Russell. Reed made another contribution to the horror genre in 1976, acting alongside Karen Black, Bette Davis, and Burgess Meredith in the Dan Curtis film Burnt Offerings. In between those films for Russell, Reed played the role of Bill Sikes, alongside Ron Moody, Shani Wallis, Mark Lester, Jack Wild and Harry Secombe, in his uncle Carol Reed’s 1968 screen version of the hit musical Oliver!. In 1969 Reed played the title role in Michael Winner’s WWII action-comedy Hannibal Brooks, alongside an elephant named Lucy. An anecdote holds that Reed could have been chosen to play James Bond. In 1969, Bond franchise producers Albert R. Broccoli and Harry Saltzman were looking for a replacement for Sean Connery and Reed (who had recently played a resourceful killer in The Assassination Bureau) was mentioned as a possible choice for the role. Whatever the reason, Reed was never to play Bond. After Reed’s death, the Guardian Unlimited called the casting decision, “One of the great missed opportunities of post-war British movie history”. Reed starred as Athos the musketeer in three films based on Alexandre Dumas’s novels. First in The Three Musketeers (1973), followed by The Four Musketeers (1974), and The Return of the Musketeers (1989). He starred in a similarly historical themed film, Crossed Swords (1977), as Miles Hendon alongside Raquel Welch and a grown up Mark Lester, who had worked with Reed in Oliver!. Reed returned to horror as Dr. Hal Raglan in David Cronenberg’s 1979 film The Brood. Fr
Quicksand is a colloid hydrogel consisting of fine granular material (such as sand or silt), clay, and water. Quicksand forms in saturated loose sand when the sand is suddenly agitated.When water in the sand cannot escape, it creates a liquefied soil that loses strength and cannot support weight.Quicksand can form in standing water or in upwards flowing water (as from an artesian spring).eople falling into (and, unrealistically, being submerged in) quicksand or a similar substance is a trope of adventure fiction, notably in movies. According to Slate, this gimmick had its heyday in the 1960s, when almost 3% of all films showed someone sinking in mud, sand, or clay.
The Jetsons The Jetsons is an American animated sitcom produced by Hanna-Barbera, originally airing in primetime from September 23, 1962, to March 17, 1963, then later in syndication, with new episodes in 1985 to 1987 as part of The Funtastic World of Hanna-Barbera block. It was Hanna-Barbera's Space Age counterpart to The Flintstones.[2]
Voyager 2 While in the neighborhood of Neptune, Voyager 2 discovered the "Great Dark Spot", which has since disappeared, according to observations by the Hubble Space Telescope. Originally thought to be a large cloud itself, the "Great Dark Spot" was later hypothesized to be a hole in the visible cloud deck of Neptune.
Hemoglobin Historically, an association between the color of blood and rust occurs in the association of the planet Mars, with the Roman god of war, since the planet is an orange-red, which reminded the ancients of blood. Although the color of the planet is due to iron compounds in combination with oxygen in the Martian soil, it is a common misconception that the iron in hemoglobin and its oxides gives blood its red color. The color is actually due to the porphyrin moiety of hemoglobin to which the iron is bound, not the iron itself, although the ligation and redox state of the iron can influence the pi to pi* or n to pi* electronic transitions of the porphyrin and hence its optical characteristics.
Profile: Commons Speaker, John Bercow \| Politics \| The Guardian Profile: Commons Speaker, John Bercow Conservative MP John Bercow. Photograph: Alastair Grant/AP Monday 22 June 2009 17.28 EDT First published on Monday 22 June 2009 17.28 EDT Close This article is 7 years old The following correction was printed in the Guardian's Corrections and clarifications column, day date month year (Friday 20 January 2009) John Bercow was elected as member of parliament for Buckingham in the general election of 1997, not in a byelection in 1996 as we said below. John Bercow, the new Speaker, has embraced a remarkable range of views since he entered politics while a student 27 years ago. While many Labour politicians move from the far left to the soggy centre, the 46-year-old has moved from the hard right to be at home with New Labour , even though he kept his Conservative label. Like Michael Martin, his predecessor, he can claim working-class credentials, being the son of a minicab driver. As a 19-year-old, Bercow was secretary of the immigration and repatriation committee of the far-right Monday Club and wanted a halt to Commonwealth immigration. He became chairman of the Federation of Conservative Students, who were pro-apartheid and were closed down by Norman Tebbit, when he was Tory party chairman, for running a "hang Mandela" campaign. But Bercow is the sole Tory supporting Harriet Harman's equality legislation and prepared to join Diane Abbott to support all-black shortlists for parliamentary seats. "Even youngish men can acquire wisdom as time goes by," he told MPs yesterday. Before being elected to parliament he worked as a public relations adviser, then became a special adviser to Jonathan Aitken and Lady Bottomley. At a byelection in 1996, he won the safe seat of Buckingham, home to Margaret Thatcher's favourite private university and Stowe public school. He arrived at the selection contest in typical style, landing at the last minute in a helicopter. He said at the time the ride was "the best £1,000 I've spent".The Tory MP's conversion to a New Labour way of thinking is said to date from the time he married, at 39, Sally Illman, a Labour activist. Her views had also moved from right to left: she had been a rightwing young Conservative who also urged an end to immigration, before embracing Labour. Some Tories who have been since fallen out with Bercow like to joke: "The trouble with John is that he discovered sex and the Labour party at the same time." Bercow also has a history of upsetting Tory leaders. He was sacked as a frontbencher in 2004 by Michael Howard after Bercow told him that Ann Widdecombe was right to say there was "something of the night about him". That didn't go down well with David Cameron, Howard's special adviser and the man charged by Howard to write the last Tory general election manifesto. When Cameron stood for the leadership, Bercow hardly ingratiated himself by drawing attention to characteristics the rising star did not want to highlight – his Eton education and traditional Tory views, including support for foxhunting. When Gordon Brown became prime minister he commissioned him to carry out a government inquiry into children with communication difficulties. Since standing for Speaker, Bercow has made many speeches supporting Labour ministers. He is still close to his old friend Julian Lewis, a rightwing Tory MP for New Forest East, and once came to the rescue with him of another candidate for the Speaker, Margaret Beckett, when she was under pressure to resign as leader of the house. Four weeks ago in a Commons debate he backed an astonishing attack by Lewis on a Liberal Democrat activist who had abused the New Forest MP. He shouted: "He's a nutter," precisely the kind of unruly language that he will now have to crack down as Speaker. Bercow was caught in the expenses scandal, agreeing to repay £6,508 in capital gains tax relating to the purchase and sale of homes in his constituency in 2003. His recent expenses included a £933 bill to repair and replace a lavatory. He also believes the expenses pr

Fingals Cave, Staffa \| Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the un… \| Flickr Philip Milne By: Philip Milne Fingals Cave, Staffa Fingal's Cave is a sea cave on the uninhabited island of Staffa, in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, part of a National Nature Reserve owned by the National Trust for Scotland. It is formed entirely from hexagonally-jointed basalt columns, similar in structure to (and part of the same ancient lava flow as) the Giant's Causeway in Northern Ireland, and those of nearby Ulva. In both cases, the cooling surface of the mass of hot lava cracked in a hexagonal pattern in a similar way to drying mud cracking as it shrinks, and these cracks gradually extended down into the mass of lava as it cooled and shrank to form the columns which were subsequently exposed by erosion. Its size and naturally arched roof, and the eerie sounds produced by the echoes of waves, give it the atmosphere of a natural cathedral. The cave's Gaelic name, Uamh-Binn, means "cave of melody". The cave was "discovered" by 18th-century naturalist Sir Joseph Banks in 1772. It became known as Fingal's Cave after the eponymous hero of an epic poem by 18th-century Scots poet-historian James Macpherson. It formed part of his Ossian cycle of poems claimed to have been based on old Scottish Gaelic poems. In Irish mythology, the hero Fingal is known as Fionn mac Cumhaill, and it is suggested that Macpherson rendered the name as Fingal (meaning "white stranger") through a misapprehension of the name which in old Gaelic would appear as Finn. The legend has Fionn or Finn building the causeway between Ireland and Scotland. The cave has a large arched entrance and is filled by the sea; however, boats cannot enter. Several local companies include a pass by the cave in sightseeing cruises from April to September. However, it is also possible to land elsewhere on the island and walk to the cave overland, where a row of fractured columns form a walkway just above high-water level permitting exploration on foot. From the inside, the entrance seems to frame the sacred island of Iona across the water. This is the Scottish end of the Giants Causeway... Legend has it that the Irish warrior Fionn mac Cumhaill (Finn McCool) built the causeway to walk to Scotland to fight his Scottish counterpart Benandonner. One version of the legend tells that Fionn fell asleep before he got to Scotland. When he did not arrive, the much larger Benandonner crossed the bridge looking for him. To protect Fionn, his wife Oonagh laid a blanket over him so he could pretend that he was actually their baby son. In a variation, Fionn fled after seeing Benandonner's great bulk, and asked his wife to disguise him as the baby. In both versions, when Benandonner saw the size of the 'infant', he assumed the alleged father, Fionn, must be gigantic indeed. Therefore, Benandonner fled home in terror, ripping up the Causeway in case he was followed by Fionn. Another variation is that Oonagh painted a rock shaped like a steak and gave it to Benandonner, whilst giving the baby (Fionn) a normal steak. When Benandonner saw that the baby was able to eat it so easily, he ran away, tearing up the causeway. The "causeway" legend corresponds with geological history in as much as there are similar basalt formations (a part of the same ancient lava flow) at the site of Fingal's Cave on the isle of Staffa in Scotland.

The Prices and Incomes Accord was an agreement between the Australian Council of Trade Unions and the Australian Labor Party government of Prime Minister Bob Hawke and Treasurer (later Prime Minister) Paul Keating in 1983. Employers were not party to the Accord. Unions agreed to restrict wage demands and the government pledged to minimise inflation. The government was also to act on the social wage. At its broadest this concept included increased spending on education as well as welfare.

Vasopressin Vasopressin, also named antidiuretic hormone (ADH), arginine vasopressin (AVP) or argipressin,[5] is a hormone synthesized as a peptide prohormone in neurons in the hypothalamus, and is converted to AVP. It then travels down the axon of that cell, which terminates in the posterior pituitary, and is released from vesicles into the circulation in response to extracellular fluid hypertonicity (hyperosmolality). AVP has two primary functions. First, it increases the amount of solute-free water reabsorbed back into the circulation from the filtrate in the kidney tubules of the nephrons. Second, AVP constricts arterioles, which increases peripheral vascular resistance and raises arterial blood pressure.[6][7][8]

Van 't Hoff factor The van 't Hoff factor i {\\displaystyle i} (named after J. H. van 't Hoff) is a measure of the effect of a solute upon colligative properties such as osmotic pressure, relative lowering in vapor pressure, boiling-point elevation and freezing-point depression. The van 't Hoff factor is the ratio between the actual concentration of particles produced when the substance is dissolved and the concentration of a substance as calculated from its mass. For most non-electrolytes dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is essentially 1. For most ionic compounds dissolved in water, the van 't Hoff factor is equal to the number of discrete ions in a formula unit of the substance. This is true for ideal solutions only, as occasionally ion pairing occurs in solution. At a given instant a small percentage of the ions are paired and count as a single particle. Ion pairing occurs to some extent in all electrolyte solutions. This causes the measured van 't Hoff factor to be less than that predicted in an ideal solution. The deviation for the van 't Hoff factor tends to be greatest where the ions have multiple charges.

Electrical Outlets and Covers Electrical Outlets and Coversby Marcus Pickett See if We Have Top-Rated Electrical Contractors in Your Area Go Related Articles Related Articles & Checklists Kitchen Lighting Is Your Home Wasting Energy? Whole House Fans Generator Basics Checklist: Hiring an Electrician All Electrical Articles Related Topics Home Remodeling Home Additions Appliances Heating & Cooling Find Top-Rated Pros Go For some, dealing with electrical outlets is old hat, and the best choice for electrical outlet covers is already made. For a lot of people, however, it can be a daunting task. The apprehension is often due to the close proximity of all that electricity, and those holes that, at a young age, most of us learned to stay away from. Indeed, many people install electrical outlet covers for the benefit of their children, but there are other things to know about your electrical outlets and covers as well. Types of Electrical Outlet Covers Outlet Plugs: The cheapest and easiest covers to install, these plastic plugs are an effective placeholder. They're best for outlet plugs that you rarely, if ever, use: Frequent changing between outlet plugs and electrical cords is annoying and may cause you to misplace the plug, leaving behind a choking hazard for pets and small children. Sliding Plate Covers: These outlet plates come with built-in sliding covers that will automatically cover the outlet when you're not using it. Difficult but not impossible (depending on age) for little children to figure out, this is the best solution for many people. Outlet Covers: There are a handful of separate outlet covers you can buy and install designed for specific uses. Some are childproof. Some are decorative. Some guard against water from kitchen and bathroom sinks. Some double as power strips. Many are multipurpose. Outdoor Electrical Outlet Covers If indoor electrical outlet covers are a solid, responsible accessory, then outdoor electrical outlet covers are an absolute necessity. First, you need a weatherproof electrical outlet cover to guard against rust and, possibly, from electrical failure and/or electrocution. No risk of water and electricity mixing is too small to ignore. Some homeowners also like to install a locked outlet cover to prevent outsiders from leeching electricity from their property. (You'd be amazed by how often this is a problem.) You might also be surprised by the number of things that can go wrong from an exposed outlet. If little Billy from across the street has a thing for playing with your outdoor electrical outlet, you might need an outdoor electrical outlet cover to ensure his safety and indemnify yourself from liability. Need some electrical work done? Use this link to Hire an Electrician Electrical Outlet Replacement While replacing an entire electrical outlet is more involved than replacing just the cover, once you know what to do, it's a fairly simple operation. The first and most important step is to turn off the power to that outlet. In many homes, the switches in the circuit breaker are labeled to show which room they connect to. In older homes, there might not be this kind of diagram; if that's the case, it could be in your best interest to make one yourself for future reference. Anyway, trial and error will work for the first time. It's good to have a partner to tell you which lights are going off. Once you're absolutely sure the power is off, you can remove the cover and unscrew the mounting screws. Don't unscrew any of the wires yet, just the mountings! Now you can pull out the electrical outlet from the wall and compare it to the one you are going to replace it with. Note carefully which wire goes where, then place the wires on the new one as such. Put the new receptacle back into the wall; replace the mounting screws and the cover. you've now successfully replaced an electrical outlet! Now all you have to do is go and turn the power back on. It's a good idea to unplug any especially noisy devices before you do this, or you might get a jolt of a different variety. Circuit Breakers If the problem doesn't lie in the outlet, it might be a larger problem. When you check the breaker box, if a switch is already in an "off" position, that's probably where your "faulty" outlet lies. After unplugging all appliances, go back and turn the switch to "on". If it immediately goes back to "off", this problem most likely lies in wiring that most people can't fix themselves; an electrician should be called to get a professional opinion.

Around 95 % of the country 's 36 million citizens are Muslims , with Christianity , Yarsan , Yezidism , and Mandeanism also present . The official languages of Iraq are Arabic and Kurdish . Iraq has a coastline measuring 58 km on the northern Persian Gulf and encompasses the Mesopotamian Alluvial Plain , the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range , and the eastern part of the Syrian Desert . Two major rivers , the Tigris and Euphrates , run south through Iraq and into the Shatt al-Arab near the Persian Gulf . These rivers provide Iraq with significant amounts of fertile land . The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers , historically known as Mesopotamia , is often referred to as the cradle of civilisation . It was here that mankind first began to read , write , create laws , and live in cities under an organised government -- notably Uruk , from which `` Iraq '' is derived . The area has been home to successive civilisations since the 6th millennium BC . Iraq was the centre of the Akkadian , Sumerian , Assyrian , and Babylonian empires . It was also part of the Median , Achaemenid , Hellenistic , Parthian , Sassanid , Roman , Rashidun , Umayyad , Abbasid , Ayyubid , Mongol , Safavid , Afsharid , and Ottoman empires . Iraq 's modern borders were mostly demarcated in 1920 by the League of Nations when the Ottoman Empire was divided by the Treaty of Sèvres . Iraq was placed under the authority of the United Kingdom as the British Mandate of Mesopotamia . A monarchy was established in 1921 and the Kingdom of Iraq gained independence from Britain in 1932 . In 1958 , the monarchy was overthrown and the Iraqi Republic created . Iraq was controlled by the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party from 1968 until 2003 . After an invasion by the United States and its allies in 2003 , Saddam Hussein 's Ba'ath Party was removed from power and multi-party parliamentary elections were held in 2005 . The American presence in Iraq ended in 2011 , but the Iraqi insurgency continued and intensified as fighters from the Syrian Civil War spilled into the country .
Primary election A primary election is not an election. An election is a formal decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold public office. A primary “nomination” narrows the field of candidates before a general election for office. Primary elections are the means by which the general public can indicate their preference for a candidate in an upcoming general election or by-election.

Even interpreting the hydrogen data (including safety data) is confounded by a number of phenomena. Many physical and chemical properties of hydrogen depend on the parahydrogen/orthohydrogen ratio (it often takes days or weeks at a given temperature to reach the equilibrium ratio, for which the data is usually given). Hydrogen detonation parameters, such as critical detonation pressure and temperature, strongly depend on the container geometry.

Portal hypertension Portal hypertension is hypertension (high blood pressure) in the hepatic portal system, which are the portal vein and its branches, which drain from most of the intestines to the liver. Portal hypertension is defined as a hepatic venous pressure gradient.[1] Cirrhosis (a form of chronic liver failure) is the most common cause of portal hypertension; other, less frequent causes are therefore grouped as non-cirrhotic portal hypertension. When it becomes severe enough to cause symptoms or complications, treatment may be given to decrease portal hypertension itself or to manage its complications.[citation needed]
There were several protests along the torch relay route. Members of the Hong Kong Alliance in Support of Patriotic Democratic Movements in China, including pro-democracy activist Szeto Wah, waved novelty inflatable plastic Olympic flames, which they said symbolised democracy. They wanted accountability for the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989 and the implementation of democracy in Hong Kong. Political activist and Legislative Council member Leung Kwok-hung (Longhair) also joined the protest, saying "I'm very proud that in Hong Kong we still have people brave enough to speak out." Pro-democracy activists were overwhelmed by a crowd of torch supporters with insults like "running dog," "traitor," "get out!," and "I love the Communist Party." At the same time, about 10 members of the Civil Human Rights Front had orange banners calling for human rights improvements and universal suffrage. Onlookers were saying "Aren't you Chinese?" in Mandarin putonghua as they tried to cover the orange banners with a large Chinese national flag. One woman had an orange sign that said, "Olympic flame for democracy", while a man carried a poster with a tank and the slogan "One world, two dreams". A university student and former RDHK radio host Christina Chan wrapped the Tibetan snow lion flag around her body and later began waving it. Several onlookers heckled Chan, shouting "What kind of Chinese are you?" and "What a shame!" In the end, she and some of the protesters were taken away against their will by the authorities via a police vehicle "for their own protection." Chan is currently[when?] suing the Hong Kong government, claiming her human rights were breached. (case number HCAL139/08)

The orbital ellipse goes through each of the six Earth images, which are sequentially the perihelion (periapsis — nearest point to the Sun) on anywhere from January 2 to January 5, the point of March equinox on March 19, 20, or 21, the point of June solstice on June 20, 21, or 22, the aphelion (apoapsis — farthest point from the Sun) on anywhere from July 3 to July 5, the September equinox on September 22, 23, or 24, and the December solstice on December 21, 22, or 23.[7] The diagram shows an exaggerated shape of Earth's orbit; the actual orbit is less eccentric than pictured.
How To Stop Dogs From Fighting How To Stop Dogs From Fighting By Mark A \| 08/18/2010Facebook Twitter Stumble Google+ Save Many pet owners find themselves wondering how to stop dogs from fighting. Dogs are known to fight for a variety of reasons but it is correctable behavior. To stop dogs from fighting you will need: A sturdy leash A muzzle Water The first step to stopping dogs from fighting is determining the cause. Examine the dog's behavior before a fight for any clues as to the stimulus. When you determine the cause you can begin either conditioning the dog to react to the situation in a different behavior or remove the stimulus that causes him to fight altogether. Most dogs fight due to social status, nervousness, or fear and they can usually be stopped from fighting through socialization. Socialization is the process of taking dogs into unusual environments or to meet new dogs or people in order help them grow more comfortable with these situations. Introducing you dog to other dogs so that they will learn that other dogs are not always hostile will go a long way. Dogs that do not respond to socialization should be watched closely for aggressive behaviors. Picking up on a dog's aggressive behaviors will help you to recognize, and stop, a fight before it begins. Common indicators are stiffening of the body and movements like growling and revealing teeth. Keep these dogs on a leash so that they are easier to control, use a muzzle if necessary. There are a few strategies to stop dogs from fighting if the fight is already in full swing. Many owners use water from a hose, squirt gun, or bucket to break up a dog fight. The dogs lose concentration when the water is poured on them and they can usually be better controlled by their owners. Other popular options are to use vinegar, air horns and citronella spray. Avoid physically breaking up the fight if possible, as dogs rarely pay attention to what they are biting when they fight.show comments

After arriving in North India, Indiana Jones is asked by desperate villagers to find a mystical stone and rescue their children from a Thuggee cult practicing child slavery, black magic and ritual human sacrifice in honor of the goddess Kali.
In 1821, after Mexico's War of Independence from Spain, Texas was part of the United Mexican States as the state of Coahuila y Tejas. A large influx of Americans soon followed, originally with the approval of Mexico's president. In 1836, the now largely "American" Texans, fought a war of independence from the central government of Mexico and established the Republic of Texas. In 1846, the Republic dissolved when Texas entered the United States of America as a state. Per the 1850 U.S. census, fewer than 16,000 Texans were of Mexican descent, and nearly all were Spanish-speaking people (both Mexicans and non-Spanish European settlers who include German Texan) who were outnumbered (six-to-one) by English-speaking settlers (both Americans and other immigrant Europeans).[citation needed]
In fact, according to the CDC, Listeria infections cause 1,600 illnesses and 260 deaths each year in the United States. Causes. A Listeria infection is typically caused by eating contaminated foods, according to the Mayo Clinic. The bacteria live naturally in soil and water in the environment, and it is possible for vegetables to become contaminated by Listeria when growing in contaminated soil, or when manure is used a fertilizer, Dr. Robert Glatter, an emergency physician at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City told Live Science.
Royal Marines The Corps of Royal Marines (RM) is the amphibious light infantry and one of the five fighting arms or branches of the Royal Navy.[2][3] The Royal Marines were formed in 1755 as the Royal Navy's infantry troops. However, the marines can trace their origins back to the formation of the English Army's "Duke of York and Albany's maritime regiment of Foot" at the grounds of the Honourable Artillery Company on 28 October 1664.[4]
By 1836, the Duchess's brother, Leopold, who had been King of the Belgians since 1831, hoped to marry his niece to his nephew, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha. Leopold, Victoria's mother, and Albert's father (Ernest I, Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha) were siblings. Leopold arranged for Victoria's mother to invite her Coburg relatives to visit her in May 1836, with the purpose of introducing Victoria to Albert. William IV, however, disapproved of any match with the Coburgs, and instead favoured the suit of Prince Alexander of the Netherlands, second son of the Prince of Orange. Victoria was aware of the various matrimonial plans and critically appraised a parade of eligible princes. According to her diary, she enjoyed Albert's company from the beginning. After the visit she wrote, "[Albert] is extremely handsome; his hair is about the same colour as mine; his eyes are large and blue, and he has a beautiful nose and a very sweet mouth with fine teeth; but the charm of his countenance is his expression, which is most delightful." Alexander, on the other hand, was "very plain".
The Benefits of Kidney Removal. Kidney removal can be used to treat cancer or other kidney diseases. This can improve symptoms caused by the damaged organ. It may also prevent the spread of kidney cancer to other organs. Damaged kidneys have a high risk of infection. Removing a damaged kidney can keep you healthier.
New York Yankees During the off-season, the Yankees retooled their roster with several star free agent acquisitions, including CC Sabathia, Mark Teixeira, and A. J. Burnett. At the beginning of the 2009 season, the Yankees opened the new Yankee Stadium, located just a block north on River Avenue from their former home. The Yankees set a major league record by playing error-free ball for 18 consecutive games from May 14 to June 1, 2009.[58] The Yankees finished first in the AL East. In the ALDS they defeated the Twins in a sweep before moving on to the ALCS where the Yankees defeated Angels in six games. They defeated the defending champions, the Philadelphia Phillies, in Game 6 of the World Series 7–3, to take the series 4–2, their 27th World Series title.[59]

The cost is $9,414 and 46% cheaper than the average California tuition of $20,634 for 4 year colleges.
Introduction Introduction A biology investigation usually starts with an observation—that is, something that catches the biologist’s attention. For instance, a cancer biologist might notice that a certain kind of cancer can't be treated with chemotherapy and wonder why this is the case. A marine ecologist, seeing that the coral reefs of her field sites are bleaching—turning white—might set out to understand why. How do biologists follow up on these observations? How can you follow up on your own observations of the natural world? In this article, we’ll walk through the scientific method, a logical problem-solving approach used by biologists and many other scientists. The scientific method At the core of biology and other sciences lies a problem-solving approach called the scientific method. The scientific method has five basic steps, plus one feedback step: Make an observation. Ask a question. Form a hypothesis, or testable explanation. Make a prediction based on the hypothesis. Test the prediction. Iterate: use the results to make new hypotheses or predictions. The scientific method is used in all sciences—including chemistry, physics, geology, and psychology. The scientists in these fields ask different questions and perform different tests. However, they use the same core approach to find answers that are logical and supported by evidence. Scientific method example: Failure to toast Let's build some intuition for the scientific method by applying its steps to a practical problem from everyday life.1. Make an observation. Let's suppose that you get two slices of bread, put them into the toaster, and press the button. However, your bread does not toast.2. Ask a question. Why didn't my bread get toasted?3. Propose a hypothesis. A hypothesis is a potential answer to the question, one that can somehow be tested. For example, our hypothesis in this case could be that the toast didn't toast because the electrical outlet is broken. This hypothesis is not necessarily the right explanation. Instead, it's a possible explanation that we can test to see if it is likely correct, or if we need to make a new hypothesis. [Can any explanation count as a hypothesis? ]A hypothesis must be testable and falsifiable in order to be valid. For example, “Botticelli’s Birth of Venus is beautiful" is not a good hypothesis, because there is no experiment that could test this statement and show it to be false. However, "People find Boticelli's Birth of Venus to be beautiful" is falsifiable, because you could conduct an experiment in which you asked many people from different walks of life whether they thought the painting was beautiful. Notice that how we phrase a hypothesis can have a big impact on whether it is valid or not. [Is a hypothesis a theory? ]This question comes up a lot, particularly in reference to things like Darwin's theory of evolution. A theory is different from a hypothesis, though they're certainly related. A hypothesis is a potential answer to a relatively small, specific question. A theory, on the other hand, addresses a broader question and is supported by a large amount of data from multiple sources 1, 2. For example, "The toaster won't toast because the electrical outlet is broken" is a hypothesis, whereas "Electrical appliances need a source of electricity in order to run" is closer to a theory.4. Make predictions. A prediction is an outcome we'd expect to see if the hypothesis is correct. In this case, we might predict that if the electrical outlet is broken, then plugging the toaster into a different outlet should fix the problem.5. Test the predictions. To test the hypothesis, we need to make an observation or perform an experiment associated with the prediction. For instance, in this case, we would plug the toaster into a different outlet and see if it toasts. If the toaster does toast, then the hypothesis is supported—likely correct. If the toaster doesn't toast, then the hypothesis is not supported—likely wrong. The results of a test may either support or contradict—oppose—a hypothesis. Results that support a hypothesis can't conclusively prove that it's correct, but they do mean it's likely to be correct. On the other hand, if results contradict a hypothesis, that hypothesis is probably not correct. Unless there was a flaw in the test—a possibility we should always consider—a contradictory result means that we can discard the hypothesis and look for a new one. [More about hypotheses, proof, and disproof]Why is it that we can't conclusively prove a hypothesis? And can we actually disprove a hypothesis? One key distinction here is between what's logically possible and what's practically possible. Logically speaking, it's impossible to prove a hypothesis, but possible to disprove one. Practically speaking, it's challenging to either prove or disprove a hypothesis beyond the slightest doubt. Logical possibility As an example, suppose we have the hypothesis that all apples are red, and we test this hypothesis by examining a group of ten apples and seeing what color they are. If all ten apples are red, our hypothesis is supported, but it's not proven: if we looked at more apples, some of them might turn out to be green. On the other hand, if one of our ten apples is green, we have—in a world of perfect information and no error—disproven our hypothesis. Practical possibility Practically speaking—"in real life"—it's still impossible to prove a hypothesis since it's not even logically possible to prove a hypothesis. However, in real life scenarios, it also becomes difficult to disprove a hypothesis beyond any imaginable doubt. For example, suppose that we examine our apples in the scenario above and find that one of them is green. If the green apple is bona fide, the hypothesis cannot be correct. However, it's possible that the apple is not actually green, in the sense we care about, and that we classified it as a green apple due to an error or a wrong assumption. For example, perhaps the green apple is a decorative apple that someone painted. Or maybe it's a red apple covered with green mold, which makes it look green on first examination. Building a body of evidence In a sense, we can never conclusively disprove the hypothesis that all apples are red in the real world because we can't exclude the tiny possibility of some kind of error, bad assumption, or bizarre coincidence. However, suppose that we carefully investigate every alternative explanation we can think of—painted apples, moldy apples, etc.—and don't find support for any of them. In addition, let's say we repeat our experiment by looking at a much larger number of apples, and we find a consistent fraction of green ones. Additionally, people on neighboring farms report that they routinely see green apples as well. In this case, although our hypothesis that all apples are red may not be disproven beyond all imaginable doubt, it is so strongly contradicted as to be effectively disproven. In other words, no one is likely to consider it correct, design experiments around it, or base assumptions on it. Acknowledgements: The apple example of hypothesis testing comes from KA Guardian Andrew M., who used it in an explanation in the comments section of this article. Many thanks to Andrew M. and other readers for their thoughtful discussion of hypotheses, proof, and disproof, which led to the revision and expansion of this section.6. Iterate. The last step of the scientific method is to reflect on our results and use them to guide our next steps. If the hypothesis was supported, we might do additional tests to confirm it, or revise it to be more specific. For instance, we might investigate why the outlet is broken. If the hypothesis was not supported, we would come up with a new hypothesis. For instance, the next hypothesis might be that there's a broken wire in the toaster. In most cases, the scientific method is an iterative process. In other words, it's a cycle rather than a straight line. The result of one go-round becomes feedback that improves the next round of question asking. How is the scientific method used by biologists? This article uses a practical example to show how the scientific method works. However, you may be curious about how the scientific method is used in actual biology research.
