When I was a kid, New Year’s Eve night was one of my favorites. My parents and I would gather with one or two of my uncle’s families. It was the only night of the year we could hang out until midnight. The evening was spent making confetti out of colored paper, getting our homemade noise-makers of pans and wooden ladles ready, and setting the stage so we could scream and yell the New Year into existence. The television was always on, of course, bouncing between the various New Year’s celebrations being covered on the networks. Anyone who was doing the same thing with their family this year may have been treated to Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen discussing a story about Cooper’s mother, Gloria Vanderbilt, wondering if she was going to be asked who had the largest “cock” in Hollywood. Of course Anderson Cooper and Andy Cohen are talking about "who has the biggest cock in Hollywood" live on #CNNNYE pic.twitter.com/7cwaMGBQ3W — Mark Dice (@MarkDice) January 1, 2020 No big deal, right? It’s 2020. Old sensibilities are out and penis stories are in. Sorry, but no. That’s not how this works. The constant virtue signaling by mainstream media prohibits us from dismissing when they decide inappropriate things are suddenly appropriate. As Twitter celebrity Carpe Donktum noted, the hypocrisy at CNN, Cooper’s home network, is thick. CNN: DECENCY IS UNDER ATTACK IN TRUMP'S AMERICA!! HIS VULGAR TWEETS ARE HURTING OUR CHILDREN. Also CNN: Let's swap cock stories on live television during New Years! — Carpe Donktum🔹 (@CarpeDonktum) January 1, 2020 One of the biggest threats of Cultural Marxism is taking things that are rightly considered inappropriate and normalizing them for children in modern society. Have most kids heard worse than, “He’s not going to ask me who has the biggest cock in Hollywood, is he?” Yes. Does that make it okay for Anderson Cooper to ask it live on CNN on New Year’s Eve night. No. When we accept such things without objection, we’re acknowledging that the Cultural Marxists have already won. Revelry is no excuse for retelling of adult stories on live television. Anderson Cooper stepped in it on this one, but we shouldn’t expect anything from CNN. Not an apology. Not even an acknowledgement. We need to set a better tone for 2020. We are currently forming the American Conservative Movement. If you are interested in learning more, we will be sending out information in a few weeks.
New Zealand \| The Commonwealth The Commonwealth Pacific Did you know: New Zealand was a founder member of the Commonwealth in 1931 when its independence was recognised under the Statute of Westminster. Sir Don McKinnon of New Zealand was Commonwealth Secretary-General 2000–08. Six New Zealanders have won overall Commonwealth Writers’ Prizes: Witi lhimaera in 1987 (Best First Book); Janet Frame in 1989; John Cranna in 1990 (Best First Book); Lloyd Jones in 2007; Craig Cliff in 2011 (Best First Book); and Emma Martin in 2012 (Short Story Prize). Another, Eleanor Catton, took the Man Booker Prize in 2013. Key facts Population density (per sq. km): 17 New Zealand’s Maori name is Aotearoa, meaning ‘Land of the Long White Cloud’. A well-watered and fertile mountainous island country in the South Pacific, New Zealand consists of two large islands (North Island and South Island), Stewart Island and a number of offshore islands. It is somewhat isolated, being about 1,600 km east of Australia, the nearest land mass. Other neighbouring countries are Vanuatu and Tonga. Main towns: Wellington (capital, pop. 190,065 in 2013; greater Wellington includes Lower Hutt, Porirua and Upper Hutt), Auckland (427,110; greater Auckland includes Manukau, North Shore and Waitakere), Manukau (greater Auckland, 401,883), Christchurch (353,349), North Shore (greater Auckland, 273,594), Waitakere (greater Auckland, 206,244), Hamilton (170,571), Tauranga (120,414), Dunedin (112,032), Lower Hutt (greater Wellington, 97,653), Palmerston North (78,195), Hastings (64,002), Nelson (60,561), Napier (58,221), Rotorua (53,268), New Plymouth (52,695), Porirua (greater Wellington, 51,537), Whangarei (49,182) and Invercargill (47,898). Transport: There are 94,280 km of roads, 66 per cent paved. The railway network, privatised in 1993 and subsequently renationalised, extends over 3,900 km, with many scenic routes. There are 13 major commercial ports, including those in Whangarei (shipping oil products), Tauranga (timber and newsprint) and Bluff (alumina and aluminium) as well as container ports in Auckland, Wellington, Lyttleton (near Christchurch) and Dunedin. There are international airports in Auckland (23 km to the south of the city), Christchurch (10 km north-west), Wellington (8 km south- east), Hamilton and Dunedin. International relations: New Zealand is a member of Asia–Pacific Economic Cooperation, Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, Pacific Community, Pacific Islands Forum, United Nations and World Trade Organization. Topography: New Zealand being in the ‘Pacific ring of fire’, volcanic activity has shaped the landscape. Earthquakes, mostly shallow, are common, and volcanic eruptions occur in the North Island and offshore to the Kermadec Islands. Some 75 per cent of the country is higher than 200 metres above sea level. Around one- tenth of the North Island (113,729 sq km) is mountainous. Its Rotorua area, a much-visited tourist attraction, has boiling mud pools and geysers. The South Island (150,437 sq km) is very mountainous; the Southern Alps extend almost its entire length; they have many outlying ranges to the north and south-west; there are at least 223 peaks over 2,300 metres above sea level and 360 glaciers. There are numerous lakes, mostly at high altitude, and many rivers, mostly fast-flowing and difficult to navigate, which are important sources of hydroelectricity (which provides more than 90 per cent of the country’s power). Stewart Island, named after Captain Stewart, who first charted the island in 1809, and (further out) the Auckland Islands lie south of the South Island. The Chatham and Pitt Islands are 850 km east of Christchurch. In addition, the Kermadec Islands were annexed in 1887 and the Ross Dependency in Antarctica was acquired in 1923. The country has a long coastline (15,130 km) in relation to its area. Climate: Temperate marine climate influenced by the surrounding ocean, the prevailing westerly winds, and the mountainous nature of the islands. The weather tends to be changeable. Winds can be very st
Quick Hit Football (QHF) was a free online American football game. The Quick Hit company was started in 2008 by Jeffrey Anderson, and went public in September 2009. Quick Hit Football offered single player against CPU opponents and multi-player against human opponents. Quick Hit Football was based on user play-calling. On September 8, 2010, the NFL was integrated into Quick Hit Football and was granted the official license from the NFL. A few months later, on December 22, 2010, Quick Hit Football was offered in High-Definition 3D, allowing greater immersion of the participant in the game, while maintaining a realistic sense of play with graphics likened to those found on Madden 64. Following this, new games and challenges were offered to the players such as NFL season games, as well as single player games vs. teams inspired by legendary football coaches such as Bill Cowher, Tom Landry, Vince Lombardi, Brian Billick, Dan Reeves, Marty Schottenheimer, and Dick Vermeil.
Joseph Aloysius Sullivan (February 17, 1917 – August 2, 2002) was a Major Case Inspector for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Born in Montreal, Wisconsin, he grew up in Hurley, Wisconsin. He was involved in a number of highly publicized cases in the sixties and seventies including the assassination of Martin Luther King Jr., the murder of United Mine Workers reformer Joseph "Jock" Yablonski, the Sterling Hall bombing at the University of Wisconsin–Madison, and the Kent State shootings. Despite his involvement in such high-profile cases, Sullivan is best known for his relentless search to track down the killers of three civil rights workers, who were brutally slain in Mississippi in 1964. The character played by Willem Dafoe in the movie "Mississippi Burning" is loosely based on Sullivan. According to "The FBI - A Comprehensive Referecie Guide" (1998), edited by Athan G. Theoharis, Sullivan was also the model for Inspector Lew Erskine, the lead character played by Efrem Zimbalist, Jr., on the TV series "The FBI".
Diamond The name diamond is derived from the ancient Greek αδάμας (adámas), "proper", "unalterable", "unbreakable", "untamed", from ἀ- (a-), "un-" + δαμάω (damáō), "I overpower", "I tame".[3] Diamonds are thought to have been first recognized and mined in India, where significant alluvial deposits of the stone could be found many centuries ago along the rivers Penner, Krishna and Godavari. Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3,000 years but most likely 6,000 years.[4]

Russell Watson \| Memory Alpha \| Fandom powered by Wikia (written from a Production point of view ) Russell Watson ( born 24 November 1966 ; age 50) is an English vocalist and tenor who sang the opening theme song from Star Trek: Enterprise entitled " Where My Heart Will Take Me ", which was originally recorded as "Faith of the Heart" by Rod Stewart for the film Patch Adams . The song was remixed with a faster beat for Enterprise's third season . Hailing from Salford, Greater Manchester, England, Watson initially was not seeking a career as a professional singer. Working as a bolt-cutter in Manchester, Watson began accepting singing engagements to earn extra money. His reputation and popularity increased through these engagements, ultimately leading to his being chosen to sing at the Rugby Challenge Cup final in Wembley Stadium in 1999. His performance there was so successful that he was later invited to sing at the UEFA Champions League soccer final in Barcelona. Following this, his career took off, and his first album – entitled The Voice – followed in 2001. Both that album and his next, 2002's Encore, won Album of the Year at the Classical Brit Awards in 2001 and 2002, respectively. Watson recently took part in the BBC reality series Just the Two of Us, in which British celebrities were paired up with professional singers (including Watson) for a duet-singer showdown. Watson was paired with actress Sian Reeves and was actually a late arrival, having replaced singer Rick Astley after the latter abandoned the show. In 2006 Watson was diagnosed with a benign brain tumor, and underwent an emergency operation to remove it on 24 September 2006. [1] On 24 October 2007 a regrowth of the tumor was discovered, and he had a second round of emergency surgery. [2] On 4 February 2008 Watson announced that he was soon to complete a five-week course of radiotherapy, writing on his official blog that he had suffered draining side-effects but was "hanging in there." He also added that feared damage to his voice had not occurred. [3] Following his recovery, in the summer of 2008 Watson served as a panel judge on the BBC reality TV singing contest Last Choir Standing in the UK. [4]

. Ever wanted to be in two places at once? After a recent visit to one of America’s most famous landmarks we are able to say we have achieved exactly that!Hoover Dam straddles the Colorado river – which forms the US State border separating Arizona and Nevada, and since its completion in 1935, the dam has become one of America’s most famous national historic landmarks. An engineering marvel at the time of construction – at 726 feet (or 221m) high, the dam is twice the height of the Statue of Liberty, and one of the tallest dams in the world. It supplies the surrounding southwest with water, and its huge generators have the capacity to provide yearlong electricity for the three surrounding US States. Hoover Dam I was intrigued by the immensity of the dam, but also by its elegance. The design of the dam is stunning and very symmetrical, as is the scenery of the rocky mountains behind. I know it was an engineering marvel for the time back in 1930, but I still believe it is so today. Looking down from a platform at something so truly immense and knowing that it was man-made is awe inspiring. You cant speak – you can only stare in wonder and awe at this phenomenal site in front you – and I can assure you, there are not many things in this world which leave me lost for words!The dam was one of the largest building projects in history. More than 200 engineers were employed to design what would be the highest concrete arch dam in the US, and up to 21,000 men worked on the dam in total – around 5,000 at any one time! A lot of these workers had lost their jobs in the Great Depression and so the project provided a huge boost for the economy at the time. In fact, due to the growing population in the region Las Vegas became the bustling city that it is today! The construction claimed the lives of around 107 workers – searing summer heat, inadequate shelter and dangerous working conditions were the reality of the project. However contrary to a popular myth, no workers are buried in the concrete!The dam harnesses the natural power of the Colorado River – a river which runs southwest more than 1,400 miles to the Gulf of California and cuts through parts of seven states – Arizona, California, Colorado, Nevada, New Mexico, Utah and Wyoming – and continues into Mexico. Below the dam you can actually take a canoe or paddle boat down the Colorado River, and tours are also provided. We were just two of the 7 million tourists who visit Hoover Dam per year. Hoover Dam is open daily except for Thanksgiving and Christmas, and is located 30 miles southeast of Las Vegas taking the US 93. We visited as we were leaving Nevada to continue our holiday in Arizona, however it is a perfect day trip if you’re looking for something to occupy your days before hitting the Vegas strip each night!Mike & myself at Hoover Dam. Mike and I are technically an hour apart – he is in one time zone in Arizona and I am in the other in Nevada!Share Tweet 29 Pin Flip Stumble +1

DNA is made up of molecules called nucleotides. Each nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base. The four types of nitrogen bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C). The order of these bases is what determines DNA's instructions, or genetic code.Similar to the way the order of letters in the alphabet can be used to form a word, the order of nitrogen bases in a DNA sequence forms genes, which in the language of the cell, tells cells how to make proteins.ach nucleotide contains a phosphate group, a sugar group and a nitrogen base.

In the early years of Acadian settlement, this included a small number of recorded marriages between Acadian settlers and Indigenous women. Some records have survived showing marriages between Acadian settlers and Indigenous women in formal Roman Catholic rites, for example, the marriage of Charles La Tour to a Mi'kmaw woman in 1626.[4] There were also reported instances of Acadian settlers marrying Indigenous spouses according to Mi'kmaq rites, and subsequently living in Mi'kmaq communities.[5] Many settlers also brought French wives with them to Acadia, such as La Tour's second wife, Françoise-Marie Jacquelin, who joined him in Acadia in 1640.

Nureyev dancing in Marguerite and Armand - Rudolf Nureyev Foundation Nureyev dancing in Marguerite and Armand Tweet Music : Franz Liszt - Choreography : Frederick Ashton In 1961, Frederick Ashton attended a performance of “La Dame aux Camélias” by Alexandre Dumas, played by Vivian Leigh and he was inspired to transpose the play into a ballet for his muse Margot Fonteyn. The same year, the young renegade from the Kirov, Rudolf Nureyev, was invited by Margot Fonteyn to take part in a charity gala in London. For his first appearance on stage in England, the dancer asked Ashton to arrange a solo for him… But Nureyev chose the music himself: Scriabin’s Poème Tragique and he arranged a major part of the choreography, which did not fail to annoy Ashton, who was nevertheless bowled over by the young Soviet dancers beauty, technique and culture. In February 1962, Nureyev was invited to dance “Giselle” for the first time with Margot Fonteyn and following their triumph; he became her main partner, recruited as the permanent guest of the Royal Ballet. Ashton was still thinking about his “Dame aux Camélias”, even more so since he had seen two films that fed his inspiration: “Camille” with Greta Garbo and “L’année dernière à Marienbad” by Alain Resnais. One evening, he heard Liszt’s “Sonata” and immediately the ballet took shape in his mind. Ashton was even more sure of his musical choice when he learned that before her death – at the age of 23! – Marie Duplessis (who became Marguerite Gautier in “La Dame aux Camélias”) had a love affair not only with Alexandre Dumas, but also with Franz Liszt. Naturally, Margot Fonteyn wanted to create the ballet with Rudolf Nureyev. Later on, Nureyev bitterly commented that not a single ballet was created for him alone at the Royal Ballet, but only as Margot Fonteyn’s partner. The first rehearsals were difficult, since Rudolf and Margot were often absent, but Ashton was soon won over by Nureyev’s charisma and by the harmony within the couple and he followed their passionate impulses in his choreography. Ashton also used attitudes and steps borrowed from Nureyev: “There was a sort of animality, a physical intensity and a sexual impulse that charged the atmosphere with electricity”, commented Ashton, for whom Nureyev was the reincarnation of Liszt, the fiery and charming artiste who captivated audiences. In just a fortnight, the ballet was ready. The dress rehearsal was stormy. Nureyev took a pair of scissors and cut off the tails of his costume, which got in the way. But the first gala performance on March 12th 1963 at Covent Garden, in front of the Queen Mother and Princess Margaret, was a huge success and there were twenty-one curtain calls for the dancers and the choreographer. The ballet – which uses the flashback technique – is divided into five scenes: “Prologue”, “The Meeting”, “In the Countryside”, “The Insult” and “The Death of La Dame aux Camélias”. The stark décor only had one constant element: the bed on which Marguerite Gautier lay dying, re-living her tumultuous affair with Armand. Liszt’s Sonata was arranged by Humphrey Searle, then by Dudley Simpson for a final series of performances in 1977 at the London Coliseum. But in his film entitled, “A Dancer named Nureyev”, filmed in 1973, which includes the whole of “Marguerite and Armand”, the director Louis Jourdan preferred the original version of Liszt’s Sonata for the piano. (The ballet was filmed a second time in 1979 by Patricia Foy for Margot Fonteyn’s television series, “The Magic of Dance”). And yet not a single film can convey the fascination that Fonteyn and Nureyev inspired when they were on stage; the highly charged atmosphere that reigned in the audience and on the set. “Extraordinary actors”, exclaimed Peter Brook, “ who lend depth to every instant, every movement, which suddenly makes the most artificial of all forms become natural and human.” The couple often danced this ballet: roughly forty times at Covent Garden, then at La Scala in Milan, at the Paris Opera for the memorable Centenary Gala for the Figaro on November 17
Regionalism, like subnationalism, is a persistent presence in Indian politics, which the Centre needs to engage with — it resonates in regions as diverse as Kashmir, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Regionalism, like subnationalism, is a persistent presence in Indian politics, which the Centre needs to engage with — it resonates in regions as diverse as Kashmir, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. The near unanimous resolution passed by the Kerala legislative assembly against the Citizenship Amendment Act (CAA) is a sign of the unease and tension that has crept into the federal arrangement between states and the Centre. The Narendra Modi government had brushed aside the reservations that a cross-section of the Opposition and civil society expressed over the new citizenship law. At least seven states, including NDA-ruled Bihar, have since announced that they will not implement the CAA. The Kerala assembly resolution, which describes the CAA as being against “the basic values and principles” of the Constitution, indicates that the Union government continues to ignore the opposition of state governments at its own peril. The Centre needs to engage with the dissenting states and listen to their legitimate concerns about the Act and the proposed National Register of Citizens. Its attempt to read the opposition to the Act in a legalistic manner misses the big picture. The emergence of the BJP as the main pole of the polity since 2014 has accentuated the tension that always existed between the Centre and the states. Under Modi and Amit Shah, the BJP has pushed the agenda of subsuming India’s several diversities — religious, ethnic, linguistic, dietary, among others — under the rubric of One India. It evidently believes that the electoral endorsement it has received nationally also indicates public acceptance of its ideological project. The pushback from the states is, however, a reflection of the discomfort that significant sections of the population have about the party’s aggressive push towards all-round homogenisation. The BJP has been losing assembly elections, and even allies, as it privileges its unitary impulses and ignores regional concerns. Regionalism, like subnationalism, is a persistent presence in Indian politics, which the Centre needs to engage with — it resonates in regions as diverse as Kashmir, Assam, Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra. Attempts to impose the Centre’s will at the cost of regional sentiments have provoked extreme anxieties in the past. The onus is on the Centre to ensure that its relations with the states are not frayed. The CAA-NRC debate has threatened to reopen communal faultlines, and the states seem acutely conscious of this. Instead of reading the letter of the Constitution to states to emphasise the supremacy of Parliament in legislation, the Union government needs to also abide by the Constitution’s spirit, and respond sensitively to the federal pushback.

The opening years of the 1980s saw a number of changes in personnel and direction of established hard rock acts, including the deaths of Bon Scott, the lead singer of AC/DC, and John Bonham, drummer with Led Zeppelin. Whereas Zeppelin broke up almost immediately afterwards, AC/DC pressed on, recording the album Back in Black (1980) with their new lead singer, Brian Johnson. It became the fifth-highest-selling album of all time in the US and the second-highest-selling album in the world. Black Sabbath had split with original singer Ozzy Osbourne in 1979 and replaced him with Ronnie James Dio, formerly of Rainbow, giving the band a new sound and a period of creativity and popularity beginning with Heaven and Hell (1980). Osbourne embarked on a solo career with Blizzard of Ozz (1980), featuring American guitarist Randy Rhoads. Some bands, such as Queen, moved away from their hard rock roots and more towards pop rock, while others, including Rush with Moving Pictures (1981), began to return to a hard rock sound. The creation of thrash metal, which mixed heavy metal with elements of hardcore punk from about 1982, particularly by Metallica, Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer, helped to create extreme metal and further remove the style from hard rock, although a number of these bands or their members would continue to record some songs closer to a hard rock sound. Kiss moved away from their hard rock roots toward pop metal: firstly removing their makeup in 1983 for their Lick It Up album, and then adopting the visual and sound of glam metal for their 1984 release, Animalize, both of which marked a return to commercial success. Pat Benatar was one of the first women to achieve commercial success in hard rock, with three successive Top 5 albums between 1980 and 1982.

There is evidence of induced copper deficiency in those taking 100–300 mg of zinc daily. A 2007 trial observed that elderly men taking 80 mg daily were hospitalized for urinary complications more often than those taking a placebo. The USDA RDA is 11 and 8 mg Zn/day for men and women, respectively. Levels of 100–300 mg may interfere with the utilization of copper and iron or adversely affect cholesterol. Levels of zinc in excess of 500 ppm in soil interfere with the ability of plants to absorb other essential metals, such as iron and manganese. There is also a condition called the zinc shakes or "zinc chills" that can be induced by the inhalation of freshly formed zinc oxide formed during the welding of galvanized materials. Zinc is a common ingredient of denture cream which may contain between 17 and 38 mg of zinc per gram. There have been claims of disability, and even death, due to excessive use of these products.

The Bourne Identity is a 1980 spy fiction thriller by Robert Ludlum that tells the story of Jason Bourne, a man with remarkable survival abilities who suffers from retrograde amnesia, and must seek to discover his true identity. In the process, he must also reason out why several shadowy groups, a professional assassin, and the CIA want him dead. The story takes readers on an action-packed journey into a world of deceptions and conspiracies, offering a psychological portrait of Bourne, and giving them the chance to experience from his point of view the life-or-death decisions he makes as he seeks to piece together the dangerous puzzle of his missing past. It is the first novel of the original Bourne Trilogy, which also includes "The Bourne Supremacy" and "The Bourne Ultimatum".
A series of experiments performed from the late 1800s to the early 1900s revealed that diabetes is caused by the absence of a substance normally produced by the pancreas. In 1869, Oskar Minkowski and Joseph von Mering found that diabetes could be induced in dogs by surgical removal of the pancreas. In 1921, Canadian professor Frederick Banting and his student Charles Best repeated this study, and found that injections of pancreatic extract reversed the symptoms produced by pancreas removal. Soon, the extract was demonstrated to work in people, but development of insulin therapy as a routine medical procedure was delayed by difficulties in producing the material in sufficient quantity and with reproducible purity. The researchers sought assistance from industrial collaborators at Eli Lilly and Co. based on the company's experience with large scale purification of biological materials. Chemist George Walden of Eli Lilly and Company found that careful adjustment of the pH of the extract allowed a relatively pure grade of insulin to be produced. Under pressure from Toronto University and a potential patent challenge by academic scientists who had independently developed a similar purification method, an agreement was reached for non-exclusive production of insulin by multiple companies. Prior to the discovery and widespread availability of insulin therapy the life expectancy of diabetics was only a few months.
According to Genius, the James Gleick-authored biography, Feynman tried LSD during his professorship at Caltech. Somewhat embarrassed by his actions, he largely sidestepped the issue when dictating his anecdotes; he mentions it in passing in the "O Americano, Outra Vez" section, while the "Altered States" chapter in Surely You're Joking, Mr. Feynman! describes only marijuana and ketamine experiences at John Lilly's famed sensory deprivation tanks, as a way of studying consciousness. Feynman gave up alcohol when he began to show vague, early signs of alcoholism, as he did not want to do anything that could damage his brain—the same reason given in "O Americano, Outra Vez" for his reluctance to experiment with LSD.
The 1981 Lorraine Open was a men's tennis tournament played on Indoor carpet courts. The event was part of the 1981 Volvo Grand Prix and was played in Nancy in France. It was the third edition of the tournament and was held from 16 March through 22 March 1981. Seventh-seeded Pavel Složil won the singles title.
The members of the genus Rhinoceros are the one-horned rhinoceroses. The word "rhinoceros" is of Greek origin; "rhin" meaning "nose", and "ceros" meaning "horn". The genus contains two species, the Indian rhinoceros ("Rhinoceros unicornis") and the Javan rhinoceros ("Rhinoceros sondaicus"). Although both members are endangered, the Javan Rhinoceros is one of the most endangered large mammals in the world with only 60 individuals surviving in Java (Indonesia). A fossil jawbone of an extinct species, "Rhinoceros philippinensis", was found in the Philippines.
Neurotransmitters: Exciting and Inhibiting. Gamma-Amino-Butyric-Acid, or GABA, is the chief inhibitory neurotransmitter in the human brain. Along with serotonin, dopamine, glutamate, glycine, histamine, and norepinephrine, among dozens of other neurotransmitters, GABA regulates brain function. L-theanine also increases GABA activity. This amino acid is found in high doses in green tea. -Foods rich in B-complex vitamins, particularly inositol, also prompt GABA production. In fact, B-vitamins are necessary for the functioning of nearly all brain processes and chemicals.
Plant Structure - The Parts of a Plant and Flower Plants are so important because they make their own energy from sunshine through photosynthesis. They are the bottom of the food web supplying food and energy for all other life on earth. They store extra sugars in their stems, roots, seeds or fruit. That energy is passed on to any animal that eats them, including us. We are part of the food web when we eat plant parts like apples, carrots, rice or potatoes. Learn here the names of plant structures, their job, and what they look like on the plant. Flower – Flower’s petals are often showy because they are designed to attract pollinators like birds and insects who will fertilize them. The flower’s job is help to make seeds. Sepals – The sepals are at the base of the flower and cover and protect the flower before it blooms. Fruit – After a flower has been pollinated the ovules inside it grow into seeds. The ovary grows into a protective, fleshy fruit around them. In nature when an animal eats a wild fruit, it spreads the seeds inside it. Each seed might grow into another plant in the right conditions. Leaf - A plant’s leaves collect sunlight for the process of photosynthesis. Photosynthesis is the process where green plants use sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to make food and oxygen. Little openings in the leaves, called stomata, collect carbon dioxide from the air and release oxygen. Tiny veins in the leaves spread water and nutrients throughout the leaf. The process of photosynthesis occurring in green plants around the world is what makes the oxygen we breathe. Stem - A plant’s stems help support the weight of the plant and all its leaves. Water and minerals are brought up from the roots. Nutrients made by photosynthesis in the leaves are sent down and all around the plant. Roots - A plant’s roots anchor it into the ground. They also collect water and minerals from the soil and transport them up into the plant. Reproductive Organs – The reproductive organs of a flower are the male stamens and the female pistil. The stamen includes an anther on top where the pollen grains (haploid) are made. A long filament holds the anther up to meet the wind or pollinating insect. The pistil has 3 parts. 1) The stigma is the sticky tip where pollen grains stick.2) The ovary is at the base of the pistil and contains the ovules.3) The style is the thin stalk that connects the stigma down to the ovary. When fertilized, the ovules become the plants seeds. The ovary becomes the plant’s fruit. The fruit protects the seeds and attracts animals that will carry the seeds away to grow (seed dispersal).

ENTRESTO (sacubitril and valsartan) is a combination of a neprilysin inhibitor and an angiotensin II receptor blocker. ENTRESTO contains a complex comprised of anionic forms of sacubitril and valsartan, sodium cations, and water molecules in the molar ratio of 1:1:3:2.5, respectively. Following oral administration, the complex dissociates into sacubitril (which is further metabolized to LBQ657) and valsartan.
In 1964, the biologists Paul Ehrlich and Holm pointed out cases where two or more clines are distributed discordantly—for example, melanin is distributed in a decreasing pattern from the equator north and south; frequencies for the haplotype for beta-S hemoglobin, on the other hand, radiate out of specific geographical points in Africa. As the anthropologists Leonard Lieberman and Fatimah Linda Jackson observed, "Discordant patterns of heterogeneity falsify any description of a population as if it were genotypically or even phenotypically homogeneous".

The Revere Whistling Teakettle Posted 02-25-05 This is the famous Revere Ware whistling teakettle. These have been around since 1950 and are still sold today. They work very well and I still use mine on a daily basis. Mr. W. A. Welden's Patent D-159,307 for the Revere Teakettle The Whistling Teakettle was designed by William A. Welden of the Revere Copper and Brass Company of Stamford, Connecticut, a well-known maker of fine Art deco chrome and copper objects. This was part of the company's "Revere-Ware" line which featured stainlesss steel cooking appliances with copper-clad bottoms. The line is still made today and the teakettle sells for about $25 -- however, if you want to buy a real vintage item, make sure that the "trigger" for the spout is fully enclosed.

A cell nucleus (plural: cell nuclei) is the part of the cell which contains the genetic code, the DNA. The nucleus is small and round, and it works as the cell's control center. It contains chromosomes which house the DNA. The human body contains billions of cells, most of which have a nucleus. All eukaryote organisms have nuclei in their cells, even the many eukaryotes that are single-celled.
The city is also home to the Heineken Brewery that brews Murphy's Irish Stout and the nearby Beamish and Crawford brewery (taken over by Heineken in 2008) which have been in the city for generations. 45% of the world's Tic Tac sweets are manufactured at the city's Ferrero factory. For many years, Cork was the home to Ford Motor Company, which manufactured cars in the docklands area before the plant was closed in 1984. Henry Ford's grandfather was from West Cork, which was one of the main reasons for opening up the manufacturing facility in Cork. But technology has replaced the old manufacturing businesses of the 1970s and 1980s, with people now working in the many I.T. centres of the city – such as Amazon.com, the online retailer, which has set up in Cork Airport Business Park.

Toxic Substances Portal - Carbon Monoxide Public Health Statement for Carbon Monoxide ( Monóxido de Carbono)June 2012CAS#: 630-08-0PDF Version, 216 KBThis Public Health Statement is the summary chapter from the Toxicological Profile for Carbon Monoxide. It is one in a series of Public Health Statements about hazardous substances and their health effects. A shorter version, the Tox FAQs™, is also available. This information is important because this substance may harm you. The effects of exposure to any hazardous substance depend on the dose, the duration, how you are exposed, personal traits and habits, and whether other chemicals are present. For more information, call the ATSDR Information Center at 1-800-232-4636. This public health statement tells you about carbon monoxide and the effects of exposure to it. When a substance is released either from a large area, such as an industrial plant, or from a container, such as a drum or bottle, it enters the environment. Such a release does not always lead to exposure. You can be exposed to a substance only when you come in contact with it. You may be exposed by breathing, eating, or drinking the substance, or by skin contact. If you are exposed to carbon monoxide, many factors will determine whether you will be harmed. These factors include the dose (how much), the duration (how long), and how you come in contact with it. You must also consider any other chemicals you are exposed to and your age, sex, diet, family traits, lifestyle, pregnancy status, and state of health.top1.1 What is carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide is a gas Carbon monoxide is a colorless, nonirritating, odorless, and tasteless gas. It is found in both outdoor and indoor air. Sources of carbon monoxide in the atmosphere Carbon monoxide is made when carbon in fuel is not burned completely. Carbon monoxide is produced from both human-made and natural sources. The most important human-made source of carbon monoxide arises from the exhaust of automobiles. Inside homes, improperly adjusted gas appliances, furnaces, wood burning stoves, and fireplaces are a potential source of carbon monoxide (see Section 1.3). Carbon monoxide is released from wood burning/volcanoes/forest fires. Industrial uses Carbon monoxide can be used in industry to synthesize many compounds such as acetic anhydride, polycarbonates, acetic acid, and polyketone.top1.2 What happens to carbon monoxide when it enters the environment? Converts to carbon dioxide When carbon monoxide is released to the environment, it enters the air and remains in the atmosphere for an average of about 2 months. Eventually, carbon monoxide reacts with other compounds in the atmosphere and is converted to carbon dioxide. Microorganisms found in soil and water can also convert carbon monoxide to carbon dioxide.top1.3 How might I be exposed to carbon monoxide? Sources of exposure All people are exposed to carbon monoxide at varying levels through inhalation of air. Places and times of the day that have a lot of vehicular traffic generally have higher levels of carbon monoxide as compared to areas of low traffic. You can be exposed to carbon monoxide from tobacco smoke whether as a smoker or from second-hand smoke. You can be exposed to carbon monoxide by using gas appliances or wood burning stoves and fireplaces. In emergency situations where power is lost, using an improperly vented generator inside a home or building or using gas grills, charcoal grills, or hibachis indoors can lead to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. People are exposed to carbon monoxide inside of vehicles. High levels of carbon monoxide exposure have been observed when using recreational watercraft and boats. Gasoline-powered small engines and tools (e.g., gas-powered compressors or pressure washers) can emit high levels of carbon monoxide in a short period of time.top1.4 How can carbon monoxide enter and leave my body? Carbon monoxide enters and leaves the body Carbon monoxide in the air rapidly enters all parts of the body, including blood, brain, heart, and muscles when you breathe. The carbon monoxide in your body leaves through your lungs when you breathe out (exhale), but there is a delay in eliminating carbon monoxide. It takes about a full day for carbon monoxide to leave your body.top1.5 How can carbon monoxide affect my health? This section looks at studies concerning potential health effects in animal and human studies. Carbon monoxide can harm the heart, brain, and lungs Breathing high levels of carbon monoxide can kill you. Breathing lower levels of carbon monoxide can permanently harm your heart and brain. Carbon monoxide can be more harmful to you if you have heart or lung disease.top1.6 How can carbon monoxide affect children? This section discusses potential health effects in humans from exposures during the period from conception to maturity at 18 years of age. Breathing carbon monoxide during pregnancy can harm your unborn child Breathing high levels of carbon monoxide can lead to miscarriage. Breathing lower levels of carbon monoxide during pregnancy may harm the mental development of your child.top1.7 How can families reduce the risk of exposure to carbon monoxide? Reduce indoor air levels of carbon monoxide The most dangerous levels of carbon monoxide usually occur in indoor air. High levels occur as a result of improperly installed or unvented appliances that burn natural gas, kerosene, or other fuels. These include stoves, furnaces, heaters, and generators. Make sure that all of your appliances are installed properly and have periodic maintenance performed by professional installers. Always follow the manufacturer's recommendations on installing and using these devices. Make certain wood burning heaters and fireplaces are properly vented. Never use a gas-powered generator or burn charcoal indoors, as this can quickly lead to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide in your home. Do not use older portable propane heaters in enclosed indoor settings, including campers and tents, as dangerous levels of carbon monoxide can build up. Look for portable heaters that contain an oxygen depletion sensor (ODS) and are safer to use when camping. If oxygen levels start to fall, the sensor automatically shuts down the heater before it can produce dangerous levels of carbon monoxide. Older generation heaters without an ODS are intended for outdoor use only and should not be used indoors. Do not use gasoline-powered tools like pressure washers inside of homes. Substitute less hazardous equipment whenever possible. Use electric tools or tools with engines that are separate from the tools and can be located outside and away from air intakes. Do not let your car idle for long periods of time in your garage. Avoid tobacco smoke You can reduce your exposure to carbon monoxide by avoiding smoke from cigarettes and cigars since the smoke contains carbon monoxide. Reduce outdoor exposure to carbon monoxide You can reduce your exposure to carbon monoxide outdoors by avoiding running or exercising near busy roadways. Accidental carbon monoxide poisonings can occur from recreational water craft. Most new boats come with carbon monoxide detectors; however, the U. S. Coast Guard advises owners of boats built prior to 1998 to have the monitors inspected or replaced. Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home Carbon monoxide detectors can be purchased at home remodeling or hardware stores. It is important to understand that most smoke detectors do not detect carbon monoxide, so you should install carbon monoxide detectors in your home as well as smoke detectors. If your doctor finds that you have been exposed to significant amounts of carbon monoxide, ask whether your children might also be exposed. Your doctor might need to ask your state health department to investigate.top1.8 Is there a medical test to determine whether I have been exposed to carbon monoxide? Carbon monoxide exposure can be measured with a blood test Medical devices called carbon monoxideoximeters can estimate the level of carbon monoxide in blood by using a simple test. These devices are found in clinical laboratories and hospitals.top1.9 What recommendations has the federal government made to protect human health? The federal government develops regulations and recommendations to protect public health. Regulations can be enforced by law. The EPA, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA), and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) are some federal agencies that develop regulations for toxic substances. Recommendations provide valuable guidelines to protect public health, but cannot be enforced by law. The Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) and the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are two federal organizations that develop recommendations for toxic substances. Regulations and recommendations can be expressed as "not-to-exceed" levels. These are levels of a toxic substance in air, water, soil, or food that do not exceed a critical value. This critical value is usually based on levels that affect animals; they are then adjusted to levels that will help protect humans. Sometimes these not-to-exceed levels differ among federal organizations because they used different exposure times (an 8-hour workday or a 24-hour day), different animal studies, or other factors. Recommendations and regulations are also updated periodically as more information becomes available. For the most current information, check with the federal agency or organization that provides it. Some regulations and recommendations for carbon monoxide include the following: Levels in air set by EPAEPA established an environmental limit of 10 milligrams per cubic meter (mg/m 3) (9 parts per million by volume [ppmv]) of carbon monoxide in air averaged over 8 hours. This limit is not to be exceeded more than once per year. Levels in workplace air set by OSHAOSHA set a legal limit of 55 mg/m 3 (50 ppmv) for carbon monoxide in air averaged over an 8-hour work day.top References Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR). 2012.

Birth Control Options: The Shot Birth Control Options: The Shot Learn about each contraceptive option available so you can find the best birth control for you. Here, everything you need to know about the Depo-Provera shot April 12, 2013Subscribe What it is: The contraceptive shot (Depo-Provera) contains a long-acting synthetic hormone and is administered every 12 weeks by injection into your butt or upper-arm muscle. What it does: The shot contains the synthetic hormone progestin, which prevents ovulation and thickens the cervical mucus, which blocks sperm from entering the uterus. It is OK (and often common) not to have a period when using progestin shots. With this birth-control method, the uterine lining doesn't grow thick enough to shed and cause menstruation.

Daily Dose Get the latest health, weight loss, fitness, and sex advice delivered straight to your inbox. You may unsubscribe at any time. Privacy Policy\| About Us Pros: This option may bring some changes in menstrual bleeding. Early on, you may experience spotting. Later, many women stop having periods altogether. Also, progestin shots have been shown to reduce the risk of uterine (endometrial) cancer and prevent anemia, ectopic pregnancy, and pelvic inflammatory disease. Plus, there are no daily pills to take or devices to insert before intercourse. And it's 99.7% effective, making it one of the most fool-proof methods out there. Cons: Side effects may include bloating, weight gain, headaches, depression, loss of interest in sex, and hair loss, and if you suffer from any of these, it will usually take the full 12 weeks (duration of the shot's effectiveness) before things go back to normal. On average, it takes about a year to get pregnant after going off the shot, and it may take as long as 18 months, so it's not well suited for women who want to delay pregnancy by only a few months. Recent studies also show a link between the progestin shot and a loss of bone density, which can lead to an increased risk of osteoporosis. The bone-density loss may not return completely after discontinuing the shot, and because the loss may be greater with long-term use, you should talk to your doctor after being on the shot for two years.

Qutb Shahi architecture of the 16th and early 17th centuries followed classical Persian architecture featuring domes and colossal arches. The oldest surviving Qutb Shahi structure in Hyderabad is the ruins of Golconda fort built in the 16th century. The Charminar, Mecca Masjid, Charkaman and Qutb Shahi tombs are other existing structures of this period. Among these the Charminar has become an icon of the city; located in the centre of old Hyderabad, it is a square structure with sides 20 m (66 ft) long and four grand arches each facing a road. At each corner stands a 56 m (184 ft)-high minaret. Most of the historical bazaars that still exist were constructed on the street north of Charminar towards Golconda fort. The Charminar, Qutb Shahi tombs and Golconda fort are considered to be monuments of national importance in India; in 2010 the Indian government proposed that the sites be listed for UNESCO World Heritage status.:11–18
Kiwi: The Chinese Gooseberry Kiwi: The Chinese Gooseberry Fruits, Desserts, and Other Sweet Foods Winter Volume: 2000 Issue: 7(4) page(s): 7 and 8 Kiwi was the name reserved for a New Zealand bird until 1960 when a commercially unsuccessful fruit known as the Chinese Gooseberry was renamed. Christened kiwifruit, history changed for two species of a woody vine that grew wild and originated in China. Called yang tao, this plant was not only problematic in terms of marketing, it also had even less acceptable names including goat�s peach and sheep�s peach. Actually, the kiwi has other names such as tara vine and bower berry, and it is not a true gooseberry. It was renamed kiwi purely as a marketing measure to increase sales. This fruit was not unknown in China before its rechristening. Missionaries reported that it tastes similar to a strawberry and can be used to make jam. They called it China gooseberry and Chinese gooseberry. They knew it as food and as a meat tenderizer. Today we know those uses and that it is a component in some sports drinks. We also know that there is minimal information available about the effectiveness of this fruit. There are four main Chinese types of kiwifruit. They can be as small as a grape or as large as a goose egg. Usually the size of a duck egg, though not as oval, this traditionally brown-skinned fruit, has its origins in the Yangtze valley, also the Chang Kiang valley of China. The largest and most common kind, certainly the one most known outside of China, has bright green flesh and many, many black seeds. Newer cross-bred varieties just entering the marketplace have lighter skins, yellow fruit, even less fuzz on their skins. This is not a new fruit, just one with a new name and increased popularity. The great Khans relished it and reported on its bright green color. The Monguls considered it a true delicacy. Botanically known as Actinidia chinenesis, this fruit first made its way to New Zealand in the first years of the 20th century, and it was they that recognized its grander potential. In 1847, a collector sent samples to the Royal Horticultural Society in London. There are many varieties of Actinidiaceae, the arguta, variety is a smaller fruited item and more popular in northern climates. This particular variety, and more than fifty others are found in various southeast Asian countries and in China. Perhaps you have read about some of them as they are sometimes called Manchurian salty gooseberries. That is because the smaller varieties are often preserved in salt or pickled in brine. Popular in China, one hundred thousand metric tons are gathered from the wild and more recently the larger ones are also grown in orchards. This fruit was first exported to the United States in 1904. In 1935, agricultural testing began, and the year it was renamed, 1960, commercially grown kiwis from several countries, found their way into the American and other markets. Twenty years later, in 1984, kiwi was considered the hottest produce item of the year in the western world, available and produced in New Zealand, the United States, Italy, Japan, France, Greece, Spain, Australia, Chile, and of course in China. The Chinese have four main and many other or different classifications and names for this fruit. The most important ones are: zhang hua or Chinese gooseberry. These are round to oval and the most common variety; they are yellow, green, and shades inbetween. The jing li is better known as the northern pear gooseberry and it is elongated, oval, green, and with smooth leaves. The ruan zao, is known as the soft date gooseberry and it is a small-fruited variety with green flesh. The mao hua has green flesh and elongated leaves Though most commonly known by its brown color in the United States, Japan, and western Europe, the skin can be yellowish, yellow-green, yellow-brown, or brown. The kiwi, also known as kiwifruit, is quite different from tree fruits such as apples, peaches and pears. That is because it is not a stone fruit but rather a true berry with many seeds i

Researchers include biologists, geologists, oceanographers, physicists, astronomers, glaciologists, and meteorologists. Geologists tend to study plate tectonics, meteorites from outer space, and resources from the breakup of the supercontinent Gondwana. Glaciologists in Antarctica are concerned with the study of the history and dynamics of floating ice, seasonal snow, glaciers, and ice sheets. Biologists, in addition to examining the wildlife, are interested in how harsh temperatures and the presence of people affect adaptation and survival strategies in a wide variety of organisms. Medical physicians have made discoveries concerning the spreading of viruses and the body's response to extreme seasonal temperatures. Astrophysicists at Amundsen–Scott South Pole Station study the celestial dome and cosmic microwave background radiation. Many astronomical observations are better made from the interior of Antarctica than from most surface locations because of the high elevation, which results in a thin atmosphere; low temperature, which minimizes the amount of water vapour in the atmosphere; and absence of light pollution, thus allowing for a view of space clearer than anywhere else on Earth. Antarctic ice serves as both the shield and the detection medium for the largest neutrino telescope in the world, built 2 km (1.2 mi) below Amundsen–Scott station.

He is Deadpool's archenemy for many issues and almost everything that happened to Deadpool was a part of an elaborate plan orchestrated by T-Ray.
Avialans diversified into a wide variety of forms during the Cretaceous Period. Many groups retained primitive characteristics, such as clawed wings and teeth, though the latter were lost independently in a number of avialan groups, including modern birds (Aves). While the earliest forms, such as Archaeopteryx and Jeholornis, retained the long bony tails of their ancestors, the tails of more advanced avialans were shortened with the advent of the pygostyle bone in the group Pygostylia. In the late Cretaceous, around 95 million years ago, the ancestor of all modern birds also evolved a better sense of smell.
List of Prime Ministers of India Since 1947, India has had fourteen Prime Ministers, fifteen including Gulzarilal Nanda who twice acted in the role. The first was Jawaharlal Nehru of the Indian National Congress party,[2] who was sworn-in on 15 August 1947, when India gained independence from the British. Serving until his death in May 1964, Nehru remains India's longest-serving prime minister. He was succeeded by fellow Congressman Lal Bahadur Shastri, whose 19-month term also ended in death. Indira Gandhi, Nehru's daughter, succeeded Shastri in 1966 to become the country's first woman premier. Eleven years later, she was voted out of power in favour of the Janata Party, whose leader Morarji Desai became the first non-Congress prime minister. After he resigned in 1979, his former deputy Charan Singh briefly held office until Indira Gandhi was voted back six months later. Indira Gandhi's second stint as Prime Minister ended five years later on the morning of 31 October 1984, when she was gunned down by her own bodyguards. That evening, her son Rajiv Gandhi was sworn-in as India's youngest premier, and the third from his family. Thus far, members of Nehru–Gandhi dynasty have been Prime Minister for a total of 37 years and 303 days.[3]

There were even Verdingkinder auctions where children were handed over to the farmer asking the least amount of money from the authorities, thus securing cheap labour for his farm and relieving the authority from the financial burden of looking after the children. In the 1930s 20% of all agricultural labourers in the Canton of Bern were children below the age of 15. Swiss municipality guardianship authorities acted so, commonly tolerated by federal authorities, to the 1960s, not all of them of course, but usually communities affected of low taxes in some Swiss cantons Swiss historian Marco Leuenberger investigated, that in 1930 there were some 35,000 indentured children, and between 1920 and 1970 more than 100,000 are believed to have been placed with families or homes. 10,000 Verdingkinder are still alive. Therefore, the so-called Wiedergutmachungsinitiative was started in April 2014. In April 2014 the collection of targeted at least authenticated 100,000 signatures of Swiss citizens has started, and still have to be collected to October 2015.

The table describes the main locations of water on Earth. Notice that about 98 percent of Earth's water is saltwater. The remaining 2 percent is freshwater, but the majority of that percentage is found in the polar ice caps and glaciers, which is not readily available to us. The only freshwater that can be readily used by animals and humans is the freshwater found in rivers and groundwater.
The border between Brunei and Malaysia consist of a 481.3 km land border and substantial lengths of maritime borders stretching from the coastline of the two countries to the edge of the continental shelf in the South China Sea . Except for its South China Sea coastline , Brunei is entirely surrounded by Malaysia 's Sarawak state and the country only shares a land boundary with Malaysia . Brunei 's unique shape where its territory consists of two non-contiguous portions results in its border with Malaysia being broken into two segments . Brunei 's 200 nautical mile continental shelfclaim makes it a claimant of a portion of the South China Sea that is subject to multiple overlapping claims by China , Taiwan and Vietnam . Malaysia is also a claimant in the area but a bilateral agreement with Brunei has solved the overlapping claims over Brunei 's territorial waters .

After the failed union of Sweden and Norway of 1319–1365, the pan-Scandinavian Kalmar Union was instituted in 1397. The Swedes were reluctant members of the Danish-dominated union from the start. In an attempt to subdue the Swedes, King Christian II of Denmark had large numbers of the Swedish aristocracy killed in the Stockholm Bloodbath of 1520. Yet this measure only led to further hostilities, and Sweden broke away for good in 1523. Norway, on the other hand, became an inferior party of the union and remained united with Denmark until 1814.
ALGAEA (Aglaia) - Greek Goddess Charis of Beauty & Glory [1.2] ZEUS & EUNOMIA (Orphic Hymn 60) OFFSPRING [1.1] EUKLEIA , EUTHENIA , EUPHEME , PHILOPHROSYNE (by Hephaistos ) (Orphic Rhapsodies Frag) ENCYCLOPEDIA AGLAEA (Aglaia). Charis, the personification of Grace and Beauty. Homer, without giving her any other name, describes a Charis as the wife of Hephaestus. (Il. xviii. 382.) Hesiod (Theog. 945) calls the Charis who is the wife of Hephaestus, Aglaia, and the youngest of the Charites. (Comp. Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1148.) According to the Odyssey, on the other hand, Aphrodite was the wife of Hephaestus, from which we may infer, if not the identity of Aphrodite and Charis, at least a close connexion and resemblance in the notions entertained about the two divinities. Sostratus (ap. Eustath. ad Hom. p. 1665) relates that Aphrodite and the three Charites, Pasithea, Cale, and Euphrosyne, disputed about their beauty with one another, and when Teiresias awarded the prize to Cale he was changed by Aphrodite into an old woman, but Cale rewarded him with a beautiful head of hair and took him to Crete. The name Cale in this passage has led some critics to think that Homer also (Il. xviii. 393) mentions the names of two Charites, Pasithea and Cale, and that kalê should accordingly be written by a capital initial.

ALTERNATE NAMES Hephaestus, Thetis and Charis, Greco-Roman fresco from Pompeii C1st A.D., Naples National Archaeological Museum Homer, Iliad 18. 382 ff (trans. Lattimore) (Greek epic C8th B.C.) : "Thetis of the silver feet came to the house of Hephaistos (Hephaestus) . . . As he was at work . . . the goddess Thetis the silver-footed drew near him. Kharis (Charis, Grace) of the shining veil saw her as she came forward, she, the lovely goddess the renowned strong-armed one had married. She came, and caught her hand and called her by name and spoke to her : ‘Why is it, Thetis of the light robes, you have come to our house now? We honour you and love you; but you have not come much before this. But come in with me so I may put entertainment before you.’ She spoke, and, shining among divinities, led the way forward and made Thetis sit down in a chair that was wrought elaborately and splendid with silver nails, and under it was a footstool. She called to Hephaistos the renowned smith and spoke a word to him : ‘Hephaistos, come this way; here is Thetis, who has need of you.’ Hearing her the renowned smith of the strong arms answered her : ‘Then there is a goddess we honour and respect in our house. She saved me when I suffered much at the time of my great fall through the will of my own brazen-faced mother, who wanted to hide me for being lame . . . Now she has come into our house; so I must by all means do everything to give recompense to lovely-haired Thetis for my life. Therefore set out before her fair entertainment.’" Hesiod, Theogony 907 ff (trans. Evelyn-White) (Greek epic C8th or C7th B.C.) : "And Eurynome, the daughter of Okeanos (Oceanus), beautiful in form, bare him [Zeus] three fair-cheeked Kharites (Charites, Graces), Aglaia (Aglaea), and Euphrosyne, and lovely Thalie (Thalia), from whose eyes as they glanced flowed love that unnerves the limbs : and beautiful is their glance beneath their brows." Hesiod, Theogony 945 ff : "And Hephaistos (Hephaestus), the famous Lame One, made Aglaia (Aglaea), youngest of the Kharites (Charites, Graces), his buxom wife." Pindar, Olympian Ode 14. 1 ff (trans. Conway) (Greek lyric C5th B.C.) : "Whose haunts are by Kephissos' (Cephisus') river, you queens [the Kharites] beloved of poets' song, ruling Orkhomenos (Orchomenus), that sunlit city and land of lovely steeds, watch and ward of the ancient Minyan race, hear now my prayer, you Kharites (Charites, Graces) three. For in your gift are all our mortal joys, and every sweet thing, be it wisdom, beauty, or glory, that makes rich the soul of man. Nor even can the immortal gods order at their behest the dance and festals, lacking the Kharites' aid; who are the steward of all r

Eric Coates - father of British Light Music All Classical Composers Eric Coates (1886-1957) - father of British Light Music Eric Coates showed musical ability from an early age, and as a boy received violin lessons and instruction in music theory. He later progressed to the viola and played both instruments in orchestras including under the batons of both Henry Wood and Sir Thomas Beecham. He had privately written a number of pieces before enrolling in the Royal Academy of Music to formally study composition and the viola. He threw himself fervently into all manner of musical activities, playing with numerous groups in addition to his normal studies, but increasingly found his viola playing hindered by a pain and consequent weakness in his left hand. Over time he was forced to devote less time to playing and more to composition, but found his skills as an arranger and composer to be much in demand. From the start he made it clear that he was not interested in composing "serious" classical pieces but wanted to focus on "lighter" works. Thus he created settings of many poems, arranged all manner of songs, wrote many orchestral pieces for concert hall and stage, and established himself as the father of British Light Music. Although there have been "light" composers from many eras in many countries, it is often thought of as a British phenomenon.What is Light Music? It is pleasant melodic music, less demanding of the listener and easier on the ear. It does not try to make any profound statements or push boundaries but is content simply to entertain, like the waltzes and polkas of the Strauss family. That should make this style of music ideally suited for film, radio and television, but Coates was not interested in composing directly for these media. He did not want his music to be constrained by such needs, but wanted complete freedom to shape his pieces. Nevertheless his music did indirectly find a useful outlet in these media. First he had written an orchestral suite called the "London Suite", the frist movement "Covent Garden" using the song "Cherry Ripe", but it was the third movement march called "Knightsbridge" which caught the public attention when it was used by the radio programme "In Town Tonight". Then there was another piece "By the Sleepy Lagoon" sometimes called just "Sleepy Lagoon", a Valse Serenade for strings. This became a hit and was later adopted by the BBC as the signature for their popular programme "Desert Island Discs" which has run for more than 50 years. Then there is his piece called "Calling All Workers". Initially he wrote this during the war years at his wife's suggestion for the staff at the Red Cross depot where she worked. This theme was also adopted for a radio programme "Music while you Work". Between these three works, Coates' music was very familiar indeed to the BBC's audience, and the corporation commissioned the composer to write a work for their re-opening of Television services in 1946 - this was the "Television March". With his track record and popular success in radio and television, it is not surprising that Coates had been asked to compose for film. As previously noted, the composer did not warm to this idea and had turned down previous approaches. However, in 1954 his name was naturally mentioned in the context of a new film. The "Dambusters" story of the bouncing bomb was very British and patriotic, and Coates was well-known for his marches. The film makers were advised of Coates dislike of film scoring, so they decided to ask him instead for such a march. When Coates' publisher conveyed this request to the composer, Coates replied that he had finished just such a march the previous day. The march lying on Coates desk was therefore named "The Dambusters March", and Leighton Lucas was hired to weave this into the film's score. This was one of the last major pieces written by Eric Coates. Music by Eric Coates: London Suite: Covent Garden, Westminster, Knightsbridge - the final movement being used by radio's "In Town Tonight" London Again Suite - the composer's sequel By The Sleep

On 26 June 1950, the National Assembly supported a crucial bill written by Milovan Đilas and Tito about "self-management" (samoupravljanje): a type of cooperative independent socialist experiment that introduced profit sharing and workplace democracy in previously state-run enterprises which then became the direct social ownership of the employees. On 13 January 1953, they established that the law on self-management was the basis of the entire social order in Yugoslavia. Tito also succeeded Ivan Ribar as the President of Yugoslavia on 14 January 1953. After Stalin's death Tito rejected the USSR's invitation for a visit to discuss normalization of relations between two nations. Nikita Khrushchev and Nikolai Bulganin visited Tito in Belgrade in 1955 and apologized for wrongdoings by Stalin's administration. Tito visited the USSR in 1956, which signaled to the world that animosity between Yugoslavia and USSR was easing. However, the relationship between the USSR and Yugoslavia would reach another low in the late 1960s. Commenting on the crisis, Tito concluded that:

Pseudogout has many similarities to true gout, which also can cause arthritis. However, the crystal that incites the inflammation of gout is monosodium urate.
