See also: Choosing when to take Social Security benefits. To get your full Social Security benefit, you have to claim at your full retirement age. That's 66 for people born between 1943 and 1954 (after that, it gradually creeps up to 67). You can claim as early as 62, but your benefit will be sliced by 25 percent. By contrast, you get a big bonus for retiring late.
One Belt One Road Initiative The Silk Road Economic Belt and the 21st-century Maritime Silk Road, better known as the One Belt and One Road Initiative (OBOR), The Belt and Road (B&R) and The Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) is a development strategy proposed by China's paramount leader Xi Jinping that focuses on connectivity and cooperation between Eurasian countries, primarily the People's Republic of China (PRC), the land-based Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the oceangoing Maritime Silk Road (MSR). The strategy underlines China's push to take a larger role in global affairs with a China-centered trading network.[2][3] It was unveiled in September and October 2013 for SREB and MSR respectively. It was also promoted by Premier Li Keqiang during the state visit to Asia and Europe and the most frequently mentioned concept in the People's Daily in 2016.[4] It was initially called One Belt and One Road, but in mid-2016 the official English name was changed to the Belt and Road Initiative due to misinterpretations of the term one.[5] In the past three years, the focuses were mainly on infrastructure investment, construction materials, railway and highway, automobile, real estate, power grid, and iron and steel.[6]

Throughout his presidency, Eisenhower adhered to a political philosophy of dynamic conservatism. A self-described "progressive conservative," he continued all the major New Deal programs still in operation, especially Social Security. He expanded its programs and rolled them into a new cabinet-level agency, the Department of Health, Education and Welfare, while extending benefits to an additional ten million workers. He implemented integration in the Armed Services in two years, which had not been completed under Truman.

Light-independent reactions The light-independent reactions, or dark reactions,[1] of photosynthesis are chemical reactions that convert carbon dioxide and other compounds into glucose. These reactions occur in the stroma, the fluid-filled area of a chloroplast outside the thylakoid membranes. These reactions take the products (ATP and NADPH) of light-dependent reactions and perform further chemical processes on them. There are three phases to the light-independent reactions, collectively called the Calvin cycle: carbon fixation, reduction reactions, and ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate (RuBP) regeneration.
Islaam.ca Is There Anything in the Qur'an Similar to the Ten Commandments of the Bible? islaam.ca admin The Noble Qur'an The Bible has the famous 'Ten Commadments.' What about Islam? Does it have such a code of conduct which overviews some of the beliefs and rights of the reliigion? This short article will help to educate the enquiring mind better about the Qur'an, and perhaps knock down some misplaced notions about the Noble Qur'an and its message.   Source: [islaam.ca] Published: Pre 2007      And follow not (O man, i.e., say not or do not or witness not) that of which you have no knowledge. Verily, the hearing, the sight and the heart, each of those one will be questioned (by Allaah). And walk not on the earth with conceit and arrogance. Verily, you can neither rend nor penetrate the earth nor can you attain a stature like the mountains in height.   In the Name of Allaah, The Beneficent, The Merciful Question: Is there anything in the Quran that is similar to the Ten Commandments of the Bible? Answer: All praise is due to Allah, thank you for directing this question to us indicating your interest in the Quran. We would be delighted to provide you with an answer. There are verses in the Quran that were called the ‘Ten Commandments’ or the ‘ Ten Instructions’ by some scholars due to containing ten great commandments to mankind by Allah. These verses can be found in two places in the Qur'an.   The First: In Surat Al An'aam, Allah says: (Say (O Muhammad): "Come, I will recite what your Lord has prohibited you from: [1] Join not anything in worship with Him; [2] be good and dutiful to your parents; [3] kill not your children because of poverty" – We provide sustenance for you as well as them – [4] "Come not near Al-Fawahish (great sins and illegal sexual intercourse) whether committed openly or secretly; [5] and kill not anyone whom Allah has forbidden except for a just cause (according to Islamic law). This He has commanded you with that you may understand. [6] And come not near to the orphan's property except to improve it until he or she attains the age of full strength; [7] and give full measure and full weight with justice" – We burden not any person, but that which they can bear – [8] "And whenever you give your word (i.e. judge between men or give evidence), say the truth even if a near relative is concerned, [9] and fulfill the Covenant of Allah. This He commands you that you may remember. [10] And verily, this (i.e. Allah's Commandments mentioned in the above two Verses) is my straight path, so follow it, and follow not (other) paths, for they will separate you from His path. This He has ordained for you that you may become Al-Muttaqoon (the pious.)[1] The second: In Surat Al Israa, it is as if it is an explanation of the previous verses. Allaah said: [1] And your Lord has decreed that you worship none but Him. [2] And that you be dutiful to your parents. If one or both of them attain old age in your life, say not to them a word of disrespect, nor shout at them but address them in terms of honor. And lower to them the wing of submission and humility through mercy, and say: "My Lord! Bestow upon them Your Mercy as they did bring me up when I was young." Your Lord knows best what is in your inner-selves. If you are righteous, then, verily, He is Ever Most Forgiving to those who turn to Him again and again in obedience, and in repentance. [3] And give to the kinsman his due and to the Miskeen (needy) and to the wayfarer. But spend not wastefully (your wealth) in the manner of a spendthrift. Verily, the spendthrifts are brothers of the Shayateen (devils), and the Shaytaan (Devil-Satan) is ever ungrateful to his Lord. And if you turn away from them (kindred, needy, wayfarer and have no wealth at the time they ask you) and are awaiting a mercy from your Lord for which you hope, then speak to them a soft, kind word (i.e. Allaah will provide for me and I shall give you). And let not your hand be tied (like a miser) to your neck, nor stretch it forth to its utmost reach (like a spendthrift), so that you become blameworthy
Top 5 Health Benefits of Magnesium Home | Fast Features Tags: Magnesium | health | benefits | supplements | magnesium supplements | benefits of magnesium | magnesium dietary supplements Top 5 Health Benefits of Magnesium Wednesday, 01 October 2014 01:58 PMEmail Article | Contact | Print | A ATweet Magnesium is an essential mineral for staying healthy and is required for more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body. Multiple health benefits of magnesium include transmission of nerve impulses, body temperature regulation, detoxification, energy production, and the formation of healthy bones and teeth. Health specialists have always emphasized the importance of including adequate amounts of vitamins and minerals in our daily diet. Zinc, calcium, and magnesium are three of the most important minerals essential for good health. Magnesium aids in the absorption of calcium by the body, while zinc actively supports the body’s immune system. Women of all ages benefit immensely from the intake of magnesium. Besides keeping osteoporosis at bay, magnesium health benefits in women include relief from symptoms of menopause and premenstrual syndrome (PMS). It also minimizes the risk of premature labor. The other crucial health benefits of magnesium include protein synthesis, relief from bronchospasm (constricted airways) in the lungs, and improvement of parathyroid function. It boosts the bio-availability of vitamin B6 and cholesterol, improves muscle functioning, and prevents osteoporosis, insomnia, constipation, heart attacks, hypertension, constipation, migraines, kidney stones, and gallstones. Good dietary sources of magnesium include nuts (especially almonds), whole grains, wheat germ, fish, and green leafy vegetables. As with most nutrients, daily needs for magnesium cannot be met from food alone which is why magnesium dietary supplements are recommended as well. Which Form of Magnesium Should You Take? The top five health benefits of magnesium are:1. Magnesium may reverse osteoporosis Multiple research studies conducted have suggested that calcium supplemented with magnesium improves bone mineral density. Magnesium deficiency alters calcium metabolism and the hormones that regulate calcium, resulting in osteoporosis. Intake of recommended levels of magnesium is important because it averts osteoporosis.2. Magnesium prevents cardiovascular diseases One of the most important benefits of magnesium is that it is associated with lowering the risk of coronary heart diseases. Dietary surveys have suggested that sufficient magnesium intake may reduce the chance of having a stroke. Magnesium deficiency increases the risk of abnormal heart rhythms, which increases the risk of complications after a heart attack. Therefore, consuming recommended amounts of magnesium dietary supplements may be beneficial to the cardiovascular system.3. Magnesium regulates high blood pressure (Hypertension)Magnesium plays a key role in regulating blood pressure naturally. Magnesium supplements and a diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables, which are good sources of potassium and magnesium, are consistently associated with lowering blood pressure. Discover How Much Magnesium You Really Need4. Magnesium treats diabetes Studies show that individuals with a magnesium deficiency have a risk of developing type-2 diabetes and severe diabetic retinopathy. Magnesium aids in carbohydrate metabolism and influences the release and activity of insulin, thereby controlling blood glucose levels. It has been proven that for every 100 milligrams of increase in magnesium daily intake, there was a 15 percent decrease in the risk of developing type-2 diabetes.5. Magnesium treats migraines, insomnia, and depression The numerous magnesium health benefits also include the treatment of migraines, insomnia, and symptoms of depression. Magnesium is also known to cure severe forms of psychiatric dysfunctions including panic attacks, stress, anxiety, and undue agitations. Magnesium supplements considerably reduce the severity of such attacks and may also help in reducing the rate of recurrence.... Which Form of Magnesium Is Best For You? Because magnesium is so essential to body energy production, common symptoms of magnesium depletion include fatigue, along with headaches, insomnia, and muscle pain, cramps, and spasms. Unfortunately, the solution is not as easy as walking into your local drug or grocery store and picking up a bottle of magnesium pills. Magnesium comes in many different forms, and quality is also a big issue. While magnesium is one of the safest nutrients you can take, you need to know what you’re doing to optimize your magnesium levels for better health. Dr. Carolyn Dean, one of the leading experts on magnesium, has created a simple resource to show you the best and most effective forms of magnesium to take to improve your own health. To discover which form of magnesium is best for you: Go here.© Newsmax. All rights reserved.

Modal jazz is jazz that uses musical modes rather than chord progressions as a harmonic framework . Though earlier precedents exist , modal jazz was crystallized as a distinct theory by composer George Russell in his 1953 book Lydian Chromatic Concept of Tonal Organization . Particularly popular in the 1950s and 1960s , modal jazz is epitomized by Miles Davis 's 1958 composition `` Milestones '' , 1959 album Kind of Blue , and John Coltrane 's classic quartet from 1960 -- 64 , both of which were directly inspired by Russell . Other important performers include Woody Shaw , Bill Evans , Herbie Hancock , Wayne Shorter , McCoy Tyner , Larry Young , Pharoah Sanders , Joe Henderson , Chick Corea and Bobby Hutcherson . Though the term comes from the use of the pitches of particular modes -LRB- or scales -RRB- in the creation of solos , modal jazz compositions or accompaniments may only or additionally make use of the following techniques : slow-moving harmonic rhythm , where single chords may last four to sixteen or more measures pedal points and drones absent or suppressed standard functional chord progressions quartal harmonies or melodies polytonality

According to the First Epistle to the Corinthians (1 Cor. 15:4), Jesus was raised from the dead ("on the third day" counting the day of crucifixion as the first) and according to the canonical Gospels, appeared to his disciples on different occasions before ascending to heaven. The account given in Acts of the Apostles, which says Jesus remained with the apostles for forty days, appears to differ from the account in the Gospel of Luke, which makes no clear distinction between the events of Easter Sunday and the Ascension. However, most biblical scholars agree that St. Luke also wrote the Acts of the Apostles as a follow-up volume to his Gospel account, and the two works must be considered as a whole.

The history of Spain dates back to the Early Middle Ages . In 1516 , Habsburg Spain unified a number of disparate predecessor kingdoms ; its modern form of a constitutional monarchy was introduced in 1813 , and the current democratic constitution dates to 1978 . After the completion of the Reconquista , the kingdoms of Spain were united under Habsburg rule in 1516 . At the same time , the Spanish Empire began to expand to the New World across the ocean , marking the beginning of the Golden Age of Spain , during which , from the early 1500s to the 1650s , Habsburg Spain was among the most powerful states in the world . During this period , Spain was involved in all major European wars , including the Italian Wars , the Eighty Years ' War , the Thirty Years ' War , and the Franco-Spanish War . In the later 17th century , however , Spanish power began to decline , and after the death of the last Habsburg ruler , the War of the Spanish Succession ended with the relegation of Spain , now under Bourbon rule , to the status of a second-rate power with a reduced influence in European affairs . The so-called Bourbon Reforms attempted the renewal of state institutions , with some success , but as the century ended , instability set in with the French Revolution and the Peninsular War , so that Spain never regained its former strength . Fragmented by the war , Spain at the beginning of the 19th century was destabilised as different political parties representing `` liberal '' , `` reactionary '' , and `` moderate '' groups throughout the remainder of the century fought for and won short-lived control without any being sufficiently strong to bring about lasting stability . The former Spanish Empire overseas quickly disintegrated with the Latin American wars of independence and eventually the loss of what old colonies remained in the Spanish -- American War of 1898 . A tenuous balance between liberal and conservative forces was struck in the establishment of constitutional monarchy during 1874 -- 1931 but brought no lasting solution , and Spain descended into Civil War between the Republican and the Nationalist factions . The war ended in a nationalist dictatorship , led by Francisco Franco , which controlled the Spanish government until 1975 . The post-war decades were relatively stable -LRB- with the notable exception of an armed independence movement in the Basque Country -RRB- , and the country experienced rapid economic growth in the 1960s and early 1970s . Only with the death of Franco in 1975 did Spain return to Bourbon constitutional monarchy headed by Prince Juan Carlos and to democracy . Spain entered the European Economic Community in 1986 -LRB- transformed into the European Union with the Maastricht Treaty of 1992 -RRB- , and the Eurozone in 1999 . The financial crisis of 2007 -- 08 ended a decade of economic boom and Spain entered a recession and debt crisis and remains plagued by very high unemployment and a weak economy . Spain is ranked as a middle power able to exert regional influence but unlike other powers with similar status -LRB- such as Germany , Italy and Japan -RRB- it is not part of the G8 and participates in the G20 only as a guest . Spain is part of the G6 .

Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act 'The Right of Children to Free and Compulsory Education Act' or 'Right to Education Act also known as RTE', is an Act of the Parliament of India enacted on 4 August 2009, which describes the modalities of the importance of free and compulsory education for children between 6 and 14 in India under Article 21A of the Indian Constitution.[1] India became one of 135 countries to make education a fundamental right of every child when the act came into force on 1 April 2010.[2][3][4] The title of the RTE Act incorporates the words ‘free and compulsory’. ‘Free education’ means that no child, other than a child who has been admitted by his or her parents to a school which is not supported by the appropriate Government, shall be liable to pay any kind of fee or charges or expenses which may prevent him or her from pursuing and completing elementary education. ‘Compulsory education’ casts an obligation on the appropriate Government and local authorities to provide and ensure admission, attendance and completion of elementary education by all children in the 6-14 age group. With this, India has moved forward to a rights based framework that casts a legal obligation on the Central and State Governments to implement this fundamental child right as enshrined in the Article 21A of the Constitution, in accordance with the provisions of the RTE Act.17
Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport Québec City Jean Lesage International Airport, also known as Jean Lesage International Airport (French: Aéroport international Jean-Lesage de Québec, or Aéroport de Québec) (IATA: YQB, ICAO: CYQB) is the primary airport serving the Canadian city of Québec. Located 6 nautical miles (11 km; 6.9 mi) west southwest of the city, it is the eleventh-busiest airport in Canada and the busiest east of Montréal and west of Halifax, with 1,670,880 passengers[4] and 121,680 aircraft movements in 2017.[3] More than 10 airlines offer 360 weekly flights to destinations across Canada, the United States, Central America, Mexico, the Caribbean and Europe.
Jobs expanded so rapidly that 400,000 people were attracted to the city from 1941 to 1943, including 50,000 blacks in the second wave of the Great Migration, and 350,000 whites, many of them from the South. Some European immigrants and their descendants feared black competition for jobs and housing. The federal government prohibited discrimination in defense work but when in June 1943, Packard promoted three blacks to work next to whites on its assembly lines, 25,000 whites walked off the job. The Detroit race riot of 1943 took place three weeks after the Packard plant protest. Over the course of three days, 34 people were killed, of whom 25 were African American, and approximately 600 were injured, 75% black people.

John Henry Moss was born in Kings Mountain, North Carolina, and was president of the South Atlantic League for 50 years. He was the youngest person to be a president of a professional baseball league, taking over the Western Carolina League in 1948 at the age of 29.
The Republican Noise Machine: Right-Wing Media and How It Corrupts Democracy is a 2004 book written by David Brock which chronicles the author's opinion of how the American right wing was able to build its media infrastructure, and the tactics used by right-wing groups to pressure the media and spread misinformation to the public. The book was the prelude to Brock's launching of his organization Media Matters for America.
Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic Moldavian Soviet Socialist Republic (shortly: Moldavian SSR, abbr.: MSSR; Romanian: Republica Sovietică Socialistă Moldovenească, in Cyrillic alphabet: Република Советикэ Сочиалистэ Молдовеняскэ; Russian: Молда́вская Сове́тская Социалисти́ческая Респу́блика Moldavskaya Sovetskaya Sotsialisticheskaya Respublika), also known to as Soviet Moldavia or Soviet Moldova, was one of the fifteen republics of the Soviet Union existed from 1940 to 1991. The republic was formed on 2 August 1940 from parts of Bessarabia, a region annexed from Romania on 28 June of that year, and parts of the MASSR, an autonomous republic within the Ukrainian SSR.
The modern Standard Chinese exonym for the ethnic Tibetan region is Zangqu (Chinese: 藏区; pinyin: Zàngqū), which derives by metonymy from the Tsang region around Shigatse plus the addition of a Chinese suffix, 区 qū, which means "area, district, region, ward". Tibetan people, language, and culture, regardless of where they are from, are referred to as Zang (Chinese: 藏; pinyin: Zàng) although the geographical term Xīzàng is often limited to the Tibet Autonomous Region. The term Xīzàng was coined during the Qing dynasty in the reign of the Jiaqing Emperor (1796–1820) through the addition of a prefix meaning "west" (西 xī) to Zang.

Constituent Assembly of India An idea for a Constituent Assembly was proposed in 1934 by M. N. Roy, a pioneer of the Communist movement in India and an advocate of radical democracy. It became an official demand of the Indian National Congress in 1935, C. Rajagopalachari voiced the demand for a Constituent Assembly on 15 November 1939 based on adult franchise, and was accepted by the British in August 1940. On 8 August 1940, a statement was made by Viceroy Lord Linlithgow about the expansion of the Governor-General's Executive Council and the establishment of a War Advisory Council. This offer, known as the August Offer, included giving full weight to minority opinions and allowing Indians to draft their own constitution. Under the Cabinet Mission Plan of 1946, elections were held for the first time for the Constituent Assembly. The Constitution of India was drafted by the Constituent Assembly, and it was implemented under the Cabinet Mission Plan on 16 May 1946. The members of the Constituent Assembly were elected by the provincial assemblies by a single, transferable-vote system of proportional representation. The total membership of the Constituent Assembly was 389: 292 were representatives of the states, 93 represented the princely states and four were from the chief commissioner provinces of Delhi, Ajmer-Merwara, Coorg (Near Madikeri) and British Baluchistan.

Rome Traveler Article: Rome: Foro Romano (the Roman Forum) Save Article Comments (0) The  Roman Forum  (Foro Romano) was once the beating heart of ancient Rome. The Roman Forum was a center of commerce, politics, government, and religion. Numerous religious rituals took place there, and the Senate met there. Military commanders paraded through the area in triumph after a successful military campaign. Mark Anthony famously addressed the citizens of Rome there after Caesar’s assassination, an event immortalized by Shakespeare. The Roman Forum lies in a little valley between the Capitoline and Palatine Hills. Originally marshland, it was created by draining the area with Rome’s amazing sewer system. The Roman Forum encompasses many temples and monuments, including: Arch of Septimius Severus  (Arco di Settimio Severo): This was a triumphal arch dedicated in C.E. 203 to the Emperor Septimius Severus and his sons, Caracalla and Geta, celebrating their campaigns against the Parthians (people in modern day Iran). There is a central arch, with two smaller side arches. Arch of Titus  (circa 82 C.E.): Standing tall on a little rise, looking down onto the Forum, the Arch of Titus consists of a single arch, over which is a large plaque with an inscription dedicating it to the Emperor Titus. This arch famously depicts Roman soldiers carrying off plunder from the temple in Jerusalem, including a great menorah. Recent research found the scene was painted, the menorah in gold, against a blue background. Basilica Aemelia  (circa 179 B.C.E.): This was a large basilica (a type of Roman building which formed the model for Christian churches) consisting of a colonnade with commercial shops and a central area where business or legal meetings could be held. Little remains to be seen today. Basilica Julia  (circa 46 B.C.E.): The Roman Forum’s other major basilica, it was built by Julius Caesar on the site of an earlier building. You can still see the steps that ran along the length of the building, but little else remains. Basilica of Maxentius  (sometimes called the Basilica of Maxentius and Constantine): the last great building of the Roman Forum, this building was started by the Emperor Maxentius, but completed by Constantine -- who defeated Maxentius at the Battle of the Milvian Bridge -- in 312 C.E.  This was the largest building in the Roman Forum – one gets a glimpse of how enormous this building was, when you consider that only one side aisle is left, the central nave and second aisle now destroyed. The giant statue of Constantine, which now is displayed in the courtyard of the Capitoline Museums, was once seated in a throne in the apse.  Curia Julia  (Roman Senate): Started by Julius Caesar, and finished by his great-nephew and heir, Augustus, this was the third Senate building built. This was not, however, the building in which Caesar was assassinated, as the Curia was under construction and the Senate was meeting in a temporary facility near the Theater of Pompey on the Ides of March in 44 B.C.E.  This building was later converted into a church, which is why it is well preserved. The lovely bronze doors are reconstructions, as the originals were moved to the Basilica of St. John Lateran. Rostra : This was the speaker’s platform, where important speeches and announcements were made to the Roman people. Heads of defeated enemies or traitors would have been displayed here, as well as the prows (rostra) of defeated enemy ships. The Rostra seen today is from the time of Augustus. Temple of Antonius and Faustina  (circa 141 C.E.): The Emperor Antionius Pius built the temple for his late wife Faustina, whom he had declared a god after her death. Upon Antonius’ death, the thrifty Roman Senate declared the temple dedicated to the now late (and also deifie

Cannes film festival: Apichatpong Weerasethakul wins Palme d'Or | Film | The Guardian Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives Cannes film festival: Apichatpong Weerasethakul wins Palme d'Or Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is first Asian Palme d'Or win since 1997 Sunday 23 May 2010 14.28 EDT First published on Sunday 23 May 2010 14.28 EDT Close This article is 6 years old Asian cinema tonight emerged as the surprise winner of this year's Cannes film festival when a lyrically beautiful and often surreal Thai movie took the Palme d'Or. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives , directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, already had the best title of the 19 films in competition. Tonight jury chairman Tim Burton named it best film, seeing off films from an impressive roster of film makers that included Mike Leigh, Ken Loach and Abbas Kiarostami. It is the first Asian Palme d'Or winner since Kiarostami shared it with Japanese film maker Shohei Imamura in 1997. And it came after the veteran South Korean director Hong Sangsoo on Saturday won the prestigious Un Certain Regard sidebar prize for Hahaha. The Asian clean sweep took most Cannes watchers by surprise. Just as surprising was that there were no prizes at all for Loach and Leigh. Burton said deciding the Palme d'Or had felt like an easy choice. The jury saw the film early and it stayed in their heads throughout the festival, he said. "The world is getting smaller and more westernised, more Hollywood-ised and this is a film where I felt I was watching from another country. It was using fantasy elements but in a way I'd never seen before so I just felt it was like a beautiful, strange dream." Accepting the award, Weerasethakul – the first Thai winner of the Palme d'Or – said: "I would like to thank all the spirits and all the ghosts in Thailand who made it possible for me to be here." The grand prix prize – effectively the runner-up – went to Xavier Beauvois' Of Men and Gods, his surprisingly gripping dramatisation of a true story: the 1996 deaths of French Cistercian monks kidnapped by Islamic fundamentalists. There was little surprise that Juliette Binoche was named best actress for her role as the enigmatically named She in Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy. By general consent it was a stunning performance, although she told journalists this week that one of the trickiest parts of the role had been filming on Tuscan cobbles wearing heels. The best actor prize was shared by Spaniard Javier Bardem for his memorable portrayal of an underworld businessman dying of cancer in Alejandro González Iñárritu Biutiful; and Italian Elio Germano for Daniele Luchetti's Our Life. Other awards given out at the ceremony included the jury prize to Chad film maker Mahamat-Saleh Haroun and his third film, A Screaming Man. US actor Kirsten Dunst presented the best director prize to Mathieu Amalric for On Tour. The Frenchman is better known as an actor – the Bond villain in Quantum of Solace, for example, or The Diving Bell and the Butterfly – and On Tour, about Parisien burlesque performers, is his fourth film. South Korea's Lee Chang-dong won best screenplay for Poetry. There was only one US movie in this year's competition – Doug Liman's Iraq drama Fair Game – but there was plenty of Hollywood glamour out of competition. Russell Crowe was in town for Robin Hood, Woody Allen for You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Michael Douglas for Wall Street – Money Never Sleeps. And there was, bien sûr, as much red carpet glitz as usual. Cannes is still the only place on earth that a smiling Cheryl Cole – wearing a thigh tattoo revealing Versace frock — would ever be seen walking the red carpet for a controversial drama addressing French atrocities against Algerians. Tonight's awards ceremony, hosted by Kristin Scott Thomas, came after a Cannes festival that has been judged by most observers as lacking wow factor. There has been hardly any shock and few surprises. Perhaps the downbeat feel is appropriate given the story which was never very far away from the
What is Forensic Osteology   What is Forensic Osteology?       The simplest definition of Forensic Osteology is that it is the application of the study of bones (osteology) to the field of forensic science.  Whereas a Medical Examiner (aka - ME, and usually a trained forensic pathologist) is experienced in dealing with bodies that still retain soft tissues, the field of forensic osteology deals almost exclusively with skeletal material, and the manner in which the skeletonization occurred.  On a comparative note - Forensic Anthropology adds to the field of osteology by combining archaeological field techniques with the area of skeletal anatomy.  A more detailed description of forensic anthropology can be seen at the website for the American Board of Forensic Anthropology .        France Casting   Anatomical background For the 2-day Forensic Osteology workshops, it is assumed that all participants will have a fundamental understanding and working knowledge of human anatomy, especially skeletal anatomy, i.e., you should be able to at least identify all of the major bones and landmarks of the human skeleton. The structure list for 2-day workshops can be accessed by clicking the following link:  Osteology List For those not possessing such a background - all is not lost.  Some excellent anatomy sites are located at the following URLs:      http://www.bio.psu.edu/people/faculty/strauss/anatomy/skel/skeletal.htm   A few hours time at the above sites should bring most of the non-anatomists "up to speed" as far as the anatomy and terminology are concerned. The following texts are quite useful for reference: Human Osteology, by William M. Bass  (ISBN:  0-943414-81-4) The Human Bone Manual, by Tim D. White & Pieter A Folkens (ISBN:  0-12-088467-4) Introduction to Forensic Anthropology - A Textbook, by Steven N. Byers (ISBN:  0-205-43538-6) Forensic Osteology - Advances in the Identification of Human Remains, (2nd ed.) edited by Kathleen J. Reichs  (ISBN:  0-398-06804-6) Additional/alternative workshops As previously mentioned, this is a course designed for those needing introductory-level exposure to forensic osteology. Those already possessing a significant working knowledge of forensic science and forensic osteology/anthropology would  be best served by taking one of the more in-depth forensic anthropology "short courses" offered at various colleges and universities around the country.  I can highly recommend any of the NSF-sponsored Chautauqua short courses, as well as any of the summer short courses offered through the Mercyhurst Archaeological Institute at Mercyhurst College , Erie, PA.  The facilities and the faculty are some of the best you will ever encounter!  Please note that Mercyhurst also offers a Master of Science degree in Forensic and Biological Anthropology.  Baccalaureate students considering an MS degree in the field of forensic anthropology, or a related area, should certainly investigate the program at Mercyhurst.   Additional workshops are offered through the Anthropology Department at the University of Tennessee - Knoxville, and these often include time spent at the "Body Farm" (Anthropology Research Facility).  The faculty & staff at UT-K are absolutely stellar!    I have also attended the AFIP/NTSB short course, and it is well worth attending as well!.  ( Armed Forces Institute of Pathology )  While it does not go into the depth that the Mercyhurst or UT-K workshops do, it provides an excellent introduction into all aspects of forensic anthropology.  A logical plan would be to attend the AFIP course one year, followed by some of the Mercyhurst and/or UT-K courses each of the following Summers.   TENTATIVE TOPICS FOR 2-DAY WORKSHOP   Link to Announcement Page - for participants who have already registered. While the main thrust of the workshop is Forensic Osteology, several other relevant areas will be touched on in the 2-day workshops.   A significant number of the specimens used for the hands-on lab sessions will be

In this group the side chain is an imine . This amino acid is found in bends due to its structure. Proline, Pro, P. Now you will need to use your imagination a bit. Keep in mind that these are real molecules in the real world with a 3-dimensional shape, not the 2-dimensional shape as they are drawn on the page. Try to imagine a pyramid with the central carbon hidden from view at the center of this pyramid. But branching out from this central carbon producing the four corners of the pyramid are the four things attached to the central carbon. One corner of the pyramid is the amino group (NH2), another corner of this pyramid is the acid group (COOH), another corner is the single hydrogen atom (H), and the fourth corner is the variable side group (commonly designated 'R-group'). That is how the amino acids really look in your body. Since there are four different things attached to the central carbon, this molecule is asymmetric. Imagine looking at an amino acid in the mirror. There is the central carbon with a group attached to it to the right, to the left, to the top, and to the bottom. The original amino acid and its mirror image are chemically the same, all the same pieces, but 3-dimensionally they are different, they have a different 3-dimensional arrangement of all the same atoms. It would be the same as looking at your left hand in the mirror. That image is just like your left hand, but if it were real it would not fit into a left hand glove. It is 3-dimensionally the opposite, even though it consists of all the same components. In nature, we will find both the 'right-hand' and 'left-hand' form of all these 20 amino acids. The term that is used to distinguish between whether we have the 'right-hand' form or the 'left-hand' form are the letters "D" and "L". For reasons that are not completely understood, all of the amino acids that are used by organisms to make proteins are of the "L" form. In other words, all the amino acids that you have making up all of your proteins are the "L" form, L-serine, L-proline, etc. It is also of interest to mention that there are several biologically important amino acids not found in human proteins. For example, the amino acids L-homoserine, L-ornithine and sarcosine are never used as part of a protein, but are found in our bodies as intermediate amino acids when converting one kind into another. Another important amino acid used in the human body, but not used directly for proteins is the amino acid gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) which is used as a neurotransmitter between neurons. You will notice that the amino acid cysteine has a sulfur containing side group. Commonly if one cysteine becomes arranged across from another cysteine amino acid, the two cysteines will each lose a hydrogen atom from the sulfur and use these open bonds to covalently bond the two sulfur atoms and so covalently link the two cysteines together. In this form the amino acid is called cystine. So as a free amino acid it will be called cysteine since the sulfur will contain its hydrogen atom. However, when part of a protein chain, most likely the cysteine will link to another cysteine and now be called cystine. To be complete, we should also mention that there are four amino acids that can be found in proteins that are slightly modified from their original structure. These are phosphoserine (serine plus a phosphate group), hydroxyproline (proline plus a hydroxy group (OH)), hydroxylysine (lysine plus a hydroxy group), and carboxyglutamic acid (glutamic acid plus an additional acid group (COOH)). Protein Structure: Now that we have discussed in good detail amino acids, we can now start to talk about linking them together, one by one, into a linear chain, similiar to the cars of a train, as we mentioned at the very beginning of this page. Joining Amino Acids Together: Individual amino acids may be linked together, one after another, like cars of a train. The covalent bond that is used to attach one amino acid to the next is called a 'peptide bond'. All that is done is that an -OH group is removed

By the 8th century, the Byzantine empire invaded the region and remained to rule Serbia until the 11th century. After which, two states emerged: the Zeta of the east or also known as Montenegro, and the Raka of the west. When the Zeta state declined, the state of Raka became the center of power, where they remained as rulers for over 200 years. The most successful Raka dynasty was that of the Nemanjid, whose rule gave birth to the rise of the Serbian Orthodox Church. In 1389, Serbia fell to the Ottoman Empire, where it remained a state of the Empire until the 19th century. Revolts and rebellions took place soon after and in 1878, Serbia was granted full independence by the Treaty of Berlin. In 1913, Serbia expanded its territory through the Balkan Wars victory, but it wasn't until 1918 that the country was recognized as an official independent state by the rest of the world. After the 1st World War, Serbia was coerced into joining the Kingdom of the Serbs, Croats, and Slovenes, which was later renamed to Yugoslavia in 1929. The union remained intact until 1992 when Croatia, Slovenia, Macedonia, Herzegorina, and Bosnia declared independence. The only remaining states of Yugoslavia were Montenegro and Serbia - where in 2003, the union's name was changed to the union of Serbia and Montenegro. The brutal war in Kosovo in 1998 caused Montenegro to distance itself, and by 2006, Montenegro declared independence. The Republic of Serbia declared itself successor of the union and took its seat in the United Nations. Geography Serbia is located in Southeastern Europe, found within the Balkan peninsula and the Pannonian Plain, which is part of Central Europe. It is a landlocked country with 8 countries surrounding its borders. Hungary is to the north, while Romania is to the northeast, Bulgaria to the southeast, Macedonia to the south, Montenegro and Albania to the southwest, Herzegovina and Bosnia to the west, and Croatia to the northwest. More than 30% of Serbia's land is covered by dense forests. Polities Serbia is a parliamentary republic, with the President as head of state and commander in chief of the armed forces, while the Prime Minister is head of government. The Serbian constitution of 1835 was considered at the time to be the most liberal and most progressive in the world. Since 1835, Serbia has undergone a total of 10 different constitutions. The President is elected to office by popular vote and serves a 5-year term - only a maximum of 2 terms are allowed by the Constitution. The Government is composed of the Prime Minister and the cabinet members, while the National Assembly consists of 250 members who are elected to 4-year terms. Travel Serbia's tourism industry is not a major contributor to the economy but the country still offers an interesting mix of natural resources and historic sites. An average of 2 million tourists travel the country, with half of this number being international travelers. Belgrade is the capital of Serbia and offers a great combination of historical buildings, ancient ruins, and a lively nightlife. It is a great place to find remnants of ancient Roman and Celtic history, with the towering Kalamegdan Castle being the highlight of historic architecture found in the city. The Skadarlija found in the historic Stari Grad district of Belgrade is well-worth a visit for its cobble-stoned streets and attractive architecture. The Novi Sad is rich in culture and famous for being a tourist-friendly city. Found in the north of Serbia, this 3rd largest Serbian city is famous for its Strand Beach, the Petrovaradin Fortress, its city museum, and hundreds of local pubs and bars. It is also the place of the annual Exit Music Festival - a gathering of local, national, and international music acts that play on 26 stages in a 4-day music event. Nis is famous for being the birthplace of Constantine the Great. He built his summer residence, the Mediana, in this city, and ruins of the historic building is open for sightseeing today.

To the pope as to all his predecessors, marital relations are much more than a union of two people. They constitute a union of the loving couple with a loving God, in which the two persons create a new person materially, while God completes the creation by adding the soul. For this reason, Paul VI teaches in the first sentence of Humanae vitae that the transmission of human life is a most serious role in which married people collaborate freely and responsibly with God the Creator. This divine partnership, according to Paul VI, does not allow for arbitrary human decisions, which may limit divine providence. The Pope does not paint an overly romantic picture of marriage: marital relations are a source of great joy, but also of difficulties and hardships. The question of human procreation exceeds in the view of Paul VI specific disciplines such as biology, psychology, demography or sociology. The reason for this, according to Paul VI, is that married love takes its origin from God, who "is love". From this basic dignity, he defines his position:

The General Crisis The term was coined by English Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm in his pair of 1954 articles entitled "The Crisis of the Seventeenth Century" published in Past and Present, and cemented by his contemporary, Hugh Trevor-Roper, in a 1959 article entitled "The General Crisis of the Seventeenth Century" published in the same journal. Hobsbawm discussed an economic crisis in Europe; Trevor-Roper saw a wider crisis, "a crisis in the relations between society and the State".[2] Trevor-Roper argued that the middle years of the 17th century in Western Europe saw a widespread break-down in politics, economics and society caused by a complex series of demographic, religious, economic and political problems. In this "general crisis", various events such as the English Civil War, the Fronde in France, the climax of the Thirty Years' War in the Holy Roman Empire and revolts against the Spanish Crown in Portugal, Naples and Catalonia were all manifestations of the same problem. The most important cause of the "general crisis",[3] in Trevor-Roper’s opinion, was the conflict between "Court" and "Country"; that is between the increasingly powerful centralizing, bureaucratic, sovereign princely states represented by the court, and the traditional, regional, land-based aristocracy and gentry representing the country. In addition, the intellectual and religious changes introduced by the Renaissance and the Protestant Reformation were important secondary causes of the "general crisis". The "general crisis" thesis generated much controversy between those, such as the Marxist historian Eric Hobsbawm, who believed in the "general crisis" thesis but saw the problems of 17th-century Europe as being more social and economic in origin than Trevor-Roper would allow, and those who simply denied there was any "general crisis". Current historians interested in the General Crisis include Geoffrey Parker, who has authored a book on the subject.

In sheer numbers, Kerry had fewer endorsements than Howard Dean, who was far ahead in the superdelegate race going into the Iowa caucuses in January 2004, although Kerry led the endorsement race in Iowa, New Hampshire, Arizona, South Carolina, New Mexico and Nevada. Kerry's main perceived weakness was in his neighboring state of New Hampshire and nearly all national polls. Most other states did not have updated polling numbers to give an accurate placing for the Kerry campaign before Iowa. Heading into the primaries, Kerry's campaign was largely seen as in trouble, particularly after he fired campaign manager Jim Jordan. The key factors enabling it to survive were when fellow Massachusetts Senator Ted Kennedy assigned Mary Beth Cahill to be the campaign manager, as well as Kerry's mortgaging his own home to lend the money to his campaign (while his wife was a billionaire, campaign finance rules prohibited using one's personal fortune). He also brought on the "magical" Michael Whouley who would be credited with helping bring home the Iowa victory the same as he did in New Hampshire for Al Gore in 2000 against Bill Bradley.

A US Navy aircraft carrier dramatically collided with a huge wave that sent crew members running to the front of the carrier. The footage, which was captured on camera, shows the carrier in the middle of the sea battling against the large waves. At first, the vessel appears to be managing the increasing waves and the crew on board can be heard shouting ‘whoa’ as they take in the view. However, moments later, a rogue wave crashes into the ship, flooding the deck leaving the crew to run for safety as the footage goes blank.

Indeed, the synthesis of the bile acids is the major pathway of cholesterol catabolism in mammals. Although several of the enzymes involved in bile acid synthesis are active in many cell types, the liver is the only organ where their complete biosynthesis can occur. Synthesis of bile acids is one of the predominant mechanisms for the excretion of excess cholesterol.
Einstein refrigerator Einstein refrigerator From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search Einstein's and Szilárd's patent application. Annotated patent drawing. The Einstein–Szilard or Einstein refrigerator is an absorption refrigerator which has no moving parts, operates at constant pressure, and requires only a heat source to operate. It was jointly invented in 1926 by Albert Einstein and his former student Leó Szilárd, who patented it in the U. S. on November 11, 1930 ( U. S. Patent 1,781,541 ). This is an alternative design from the original invention of 1922 by the Swedish inventors Baltzar von Platen and Carl Munters. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Present day3 See also4 Notes5 References6 External links History [ edit]From 1926 until 1934 Einstein and Szilárd collaborated on ways to improve home refrigeration technology. The two were motivated by contemporary newspaper reports of a Berlin family who had been killed when a seal in their refrigerator failed and leaked toxic fumes into their home. Einstein and Szilárd proposed that a device without moving parts would eliminate the potential for seal failure, and explored practical applications for different refrigeration cycles. Einstein used the experience he had gained during his years at the Swiss Patent Office to apply for valid patents for their inventions in several countries. The two were eventually granted 45 patents in their names for three different models. It has been suggested that most of the actual inventing was performed by Szilárd, with Einstein merely acting as a consultant and helping with the patent-related paperwork, [1] but others assert Einstein labored over the project. [2]The refrigerator was not immediately put into commercial production; the most promising of their patents being quickly bought up by the Swedish company Electrolux. Einstein and Szilard earned $750 (the equivalent of $10,000 today). [2] A few demonstration units were constructed from other patents. Present day [ edit]In September 2008 it was reported that Malcolm Mc Culloch of Oxford University was heading a three-year project to develop more robust appliances that could be used in locales lacking electricity, and that his team had completed a prototype. He was quoted as saying that improving the design and changing the types of gases used might allow the design's efficiency to be quadrupled. [3] A similar refrigeration device was proposed by Adam Grosser at a TED Talk in 2008, [4] but has not made it into production as of 2015. In 2016 Will Broadway won the James Dyson Award for a vaccine cooler based on the technology. [5] Many vaccines require refrigeration to remain active, and the lack of infrastructure to maintain the "cool chain" to reliably bring vaccines into more remote areas of developing countries poses a serious challenge to national immunization programs.

During the Hundred Years' War, the army of the Duke of Burgundy and a force of about two hundred English soldiers occupied Paris from May 1420 until 1436. They repelled an attempt by Joan of Arc to liberate the city in 1429. A century later, during the French Wars of Religion, Paris was a stronghold of the Catholic League. On 24 August 1572, Paris was the site of the St. Bartholomew's Day massacre, when thousands of French Protestants were killed. The last of these wars, the eighth one, ended in 1594, after Henri IV had converted to Catholicism and was finally able to enter Paris as he supposedly declared Paris vaut bien une messe ("Paris is well worth a Mass"). The city had been neglected for decades; by the time of his assassination in 1610, Henry IV had rebuilt the Pont Neuf, the first Paris bridge with sidewalks and not lined with buildings, linked with a new wing the Louvre to the Tuileries Palace, and created the first Paris residential square, the Place Royale, now Place des Vosges.

Approximately 66,000 people of Native American heritage live in Montana. Stemming from multiple treaties and federal legislation, including the Indian Appropriations Act (1851), the Dawes Act (1887), and the Indian Reorganization Act (1934), seven Indian reservations, encompassing eleven tribal nations, were created in Montana. A twelfth nation, the Little Shell Chippewa is a "landless" people headquartered in Great Falls, recognized by the state of Montana but not by the U.S. Government. The Blackfeet nation is headquartered on the Blackfeet Indian Reservation (1851) in Browning, Crow on the Crow Indian Reservation (1851) in Crow Agency, Confederated Salish and Kootenai and Pend d'Oreille on the Flathead Indian Reservation (1855) in Pablo, Northern Cheyenne on the Northern Cheyenne Indian Reservation (1884) at Lame Deer, Assiniboine and Gros Ventre on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation (1888) in Fort Belknap Agency, Assiniboine and Sioux on the Fort Peck Indian Reservation (1888) at Poplar, and Chippewa-Cree on the Rocky Boy's Indian Reservation (1916) near Box Elder. Approximately 63% of all Native people live off the reservations, concentrated in the larger Montana cities with the largest concentration of urban Indians in Great Falls. The state also has a small Métis population, and 1990 census data indicated that people from as many as 275 different tribes lived in Montana.
Guns, Money and Cell Phones — Global Issues The Industry Standard Magazine Issue Date: Jun 11 2001 The demand for cell phones and computer chips is helping fuel a bloody civil war in the Democratic Republic of Congo. The offer turned up a few weeks ago on an Internet bulletin board called the Embassy Network. Among the postings about Dutch work visas and Italian pen pals lurked a surprisingly blunt proposal: "How much do you want to offer per kilogram? Please find me at least 100,000 U.S. dollars and I will deliver immediately." The substance for sale wasn't cocaine or top-grade opium. It was an ore called Columbite-tantalite - coltan for short - one of the world's most sought-after materials. Refine coltan and you get a highly heat-resistant metal powder called tantalum. It sells for $100 a pound, and it's becoming increasingly vital to modern life. For the high-tech industry, tantalum is magic dust, a key component in everything from mobile phones made by Nokia (NOK) and Ericsson and computer chips from Intel (INTC) to Sony (SNE) stereos and VCRs. Selling coltan is not illegal. Most of the worldwide tantalum supply - valued at as much as $6 billion a year - comes from legitimate mining operations in Australia, Canada and Brazil. But as demand for tantalum took off with the boom of high-tech products in recent years, a new, more sinister market began flourishing in the Democratic Republic of Congo. There, warring rebel groups - many funded and supplied by neighboring Rwanda and Uganda - are exploiting coltan mining to help finance a bloody civil war now in its third year. "There is a direct link between human rights abuses and the exploitation of resources in areas in the DRC occupied by Rwanda and Uganda," says Suliman Baldo, a senior researcher in the Africa division at Human Rights Watch, a New York-based nongovernmental organization that tracks human-rights abuses worldwide. The slaughter and misery in the Congo has not abated since the country's president, Laurent Kabila, was assassinated in January. (Kabila's son, Joseph, was quickly appointed the new head of state.) Human Rights Watch researchers, working with monitors in the Congo, estimate that at least 10,000 civilians have been killed and 200,000 people have been displaced in northeastern Congo since June 1999. Rebels have driven farmers off their coltan-rich land and attacked villages in a civil war raging, in part, over control of strategic mining areas. The Ugandan and Rwandan rebels "are just helping themselves," Baldo says. The mining by the rebels is also causing environmental destruction. In particular, endangered gorilla populations are being massacred or driven out of their natural habitat as the miners illegally plunder the ore-rich lands of the Congo's protected national parks. The link between the bloodshed and coltan is causing alarm among high-tech manufacturers. Slowly they are beginning to grapple with the possibility that their products may contain the tainted fruits of civil war. A similar controversy, after all, wracked the diamond industry in the late 1990s, when global demand for the gems helped finance civil wars in Sierra Leone, Angola and Liberia. Since then, the international community has clamped down on the diamond trade, imposing tougher import and export regulations. But with tantalum, such regulations may be difficult to enforce. The market for the metal is based on secretive and convoluted trade links subject to few international regulations, and the ore is not sold on regulated metals exchanges. Rape of the land The first wake-up call to the high-tech industry came in April when the United Nations issued a damning report on the "illegal exploitation of natural resources and other forms of wealth of the Democratic Republic of the Congo." After six months of field investigations, a panel of experts in the region assembled by the U.N. Security Council reported its findings. Among the most alarming of the report's allegations was that Rwandan, Ugandan and Burundian rebels had looted and smuggled thousands of tons of coltan from the

Joseph Albert "Jean" Lussier (1891-1971) was a Canadian-American daredevil, best known for going over Niagara Falls on July 4, 1928. Unlike the daredevils who had gone over the Falls previously in wooden barrels, Lussier designed and built a 6 ft rubber ball lined with oxygen tubes, he rode over Niagara Falls. Lussier capitalized on his fame by moving to Niagara Falls and selling pieces of the ball to tourists and later used tires after the pieces of the ball ran out. In the 1950s, when Lussier was in his 60s, he talked about plans of building a bigger ball and going over the American Falls, but these were never realized and he retired in 1938.
A certain four letter word slipped out of Selena Gomez’s mouth on ‘The Tonight Show,’ which even caught the singer by surprise! You would swear, too, if you had to play the same terrifying game Selena was forced to. It’s late night show protocol to not swear on television (or at least, try avoid to), a rule that Selena Gomez just broke! The 27-year-old singer had good reason to, though, on the Jan. 13 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon — she was attacked by a stuffed animal. Okay, let’s backup: Selena was competing against host Jimmy Fallon, 45, in a game of Can You Feel It? As the name suggests, Selena and Jimmy were forced to touch not exactly pleasant objects (and organisms) in a glass box and take wild guesses at what they were probing. It wasn’t the wet shower drain hair or LIVE mealworms that made Selena scream a word that wasn’t PG-friendly. That honor went to a toy bear that suddenly transformed into an evil puppet, which tried to “bite” Selena’s hand! “I DON’T KNOW WHAT THE F–K,” Selena exclaimed, after incorrectly guessing the mystery item was her dog. Immediately realizing what she just said, Selena clutched her mouth, and later couldn’t stop apologizing: “I’m so sorry. I’m sorry!” No need to be sorry, Selena. After Selena and Jimmy properly sanitized their hands, the discussion moved on to Selena’s new album, Rare, once she sat down for her interview with Jimmy. It turns out that “maybe there’s a few things” that didn’t make the cut for the final track list, including a song called “Boyfriend.” But the song won’t be stuck in Selena’s computer! “I can’t wait for people to hear that one,” Selena gushed, confirming that the song will one day make its public debut, after an unreleased track originally called “I Want a Boyfriend” was teased in Selena’s Jan. 2020 profile for Wall Street Journal. Even while playing with mealworms, Selena still managed to look absolutely fabulous. She paid tribute to the ’60s with her flippy half-up, half-down hairdo, flirty fringe and cat eye, the same hairstyle the singer wore as she later headed to Nobu in New York City after taping The Tonight Show. However, she moved onto the next decade — the groovy ’70s — by changing out of her pink Miu Miu dress and Prada heels to instead wear flare jeans, a cream sweater and crocodile print booties for her sushi dinner.

The main active ingredient of beer is alcohol, and therefore, the health effects of alcohol apply to beer. Consumption of small quantities of alcohol (less than one drink in women and two in men) is associated with a decreased risk of cardiac disease, stroke and diabetes mellitus. The long term health effects of continuous, moderate or heavy alcohol consumption include the risk of developing alcoholism and alcoholic liver disease. A total of 3.3 million deaths (5.9% of all deaths) are believed to be due to alcohol. Alcoholism often reduces a person's life expectancy by around ten years. Alcohol use is the third leading cause of early death in the United States.

In previous years, British films had been making serious inroads into Hollywood. For instance, Laurence Olivier's Henry V (1944) - which had a 1946 US release date and was eligible for awards in that year - and Great Expectations (1947), were both Best Picture nominees, and their success fully flowered in 1948 with two major British films vying for prizes. Two of the five nominees for Best Picture were British productions: Laurence Olivier's superb black and white UK film Hamlet (with a total of seven nominations and four wins), a two and one half hour Shakespeare adaptation Michael Powell's-Emeric Pressburger's production of the richly beautiful, Technicolor balletic melodrama The Red Shoes (with a total of five nominations and two wins), the top money-maker of the year about a young ballerina forced to choose between love and career The two British films earned six Oscar awards between them (Hamlet - (4) for Best Picture, Best Actor, Best B/W Art/Set Decoration, and Best B/W Costume Design, and The Red Shoes - (2) for Best Color Art/Set Decoration and Best Score). [Powell and Pressburger had already teamed up to produce The Life and Death of Colonel Blimp (1944), I Know Where I'm Going (1945), and Black Narcissus (1947).] Hamlet was both the first British production and the first non-American or non-Hollywood (foreign-made) film to be presented with the industry's top honor - Best Picture. It is the only film adapted from one of William Shakespeare's plays to win Best Picture. Hamlet's greatest competition was not from The Red Shoes, but from director John Huston's The Treasure of the Sierra Madre (with four nominations and three wins - Best Supporting Actor, Best Director, and Best Screenplay) about three prospectors and their obsessive search for gold. Two of the other Best Picture nominees that were predicted to win managed to be nominated eighteen times, but only won one award apiece: the sentimental melodrama Johnny Belinda (with twelve nominations and one win - Best Actress) directed by Jean Negu
