As this process continued, the missile found itself being used for more and more of the roles formerly filled by guns. First to go were the large weapons, replaced by equally large missile systems of much higher performance. Smaller missiles soon followed, eventually becoming small enough to be mounted on armored cars and tank chassis. These started replacing, or at least supplanting, similar gun-based SPAAG systems in the 1960s, and by the 1990s had replaced almost all such systems in modern armies. Man-portable missiles, MANPADs as they are known today, were introduced in the 1960s and have supplanted or even replaced even the smallest guns in most advanced armies.
Many banks and mortgage companies offer conventional and FHA home loans to non-U.S. citizens, provided they can verify their residency status, work history and financial track record. Lenders that work with this population extensively tend to be more flexible with the documentation you need.enders to Consider. Some lenders will make borrowers go through more hoops than others to get a loan, so you can eliminate a lot of headaches by identifying ones that frequently work with non-U.S. citizens. If youâve done business with an international bank that operates here, thatâs probably the place to start.
A debt ratio is simply a company's total debt divided by its total assets. The formula is: Debt Ratio = Total Debt / Total Assets. For example, if Company XYZ had $10 million of debt on its balance sheet and $15 million of assets, then Company XYZ's debt ratio is: Debt Ratio = $10,000,000 / $15,000,000 = 0.67 or 67%.
As cellular metabolism/energy production requires oxygen, potentially damaging (e.g., mutation causing) compounds known as free radicals can form. Most of these are oxidizers (i.e., acceptors of electrons) and some react very strongly. For the continued normal cellular maintenance, growth, and division, these free radicals must be sufficiently neutralized by antioxidant compounds. Recently, some researchers suggested an interesting theory of evolution of dietary antioxidants. Some are produced by the human body with adequate precursors (glutathione, Vitamin C), and those the body cannot produce may only be obtained in the diet via direct sources (Vitamin C in humans, Vitamin A, Vitamin K) or produced by the body from other compounds (Beta-carotene converted to Vitamin A by the body, Vitamin D synthesized from cholesterol by sunlight). Phytochemicals (Section Below) and their subgroup, polyphenols, make up the majority of antioxidants; about 4,000 are known. Different antioxidants are now known to function in a cooperative network. For example, Vitamin C can reactivate free radical-containing glutathione or Vitamin E by accepting the free radical itself. Some antioxidants are more effective than others at neutralizing different free radicals. Some cannot neutralize certain free radicals. Some cannot be present in certain areas of free radical development (Vitamin A is fat-soluble and protects fat areas, Vitamin C is water-soluble and protects those areas). When interacting with a free radical, some antioxidants produce a different free radical compound that is less dangerous or more dangerous than the previous compound. Having a variety of antioxidants allows any byproducts to be safely dealt with by more efficient antioxidants in neutralizing a free radical's butterfly effect.

Winnie the Pooh and the Blustery Day is a 1968 animated featurette based on the third, fifth, ninth, and tenth chapters from "Winnie-the-Pooh" and the second, eighth, and ninth chapters from "The House at Pooh Corner" by A. A. Milne. The featurette was produced by Walt Disney Productions and released by Buena Vista Distribution Company on December 20, 1968 as a double feature with "The Horse in the Gray Flannel Suit". This was the second of the studio's Winnie the Pooh shorts. It was later added as a segment to the 1977 film "The Many Adventures of Winnie the Pooh". The music was written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman. It was notable for being the last animated short produced by Walt Disney, who died during its production.

The first six rounds are the Qualifying Competition, from which 32 teams progress to the first round of the Competition Proper, meeting the first of the 92 professional teams. The last entrants are the Premier League and Championship clubs, into the draw for the Third Round Proper. In the modern era, non-league teams have never reached the quarter finals, and teams below Level 2 have never reached the final.[note 1] As a result, as well as who wins, significant focus is given to those "minnows" (smaller teams) who progress furthest, especially if they achieve an unlikely "giant-killing" victory.
Madonna Louise Ciccone (/tʃɪˈkoʊni/; Italian: [tʃikˈkoːne]; born August 16, 1958) is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and businesswoman. She achieved popularity by pushing the boundaries of lyrical content in mainstream popular music and imagery in her music videos, which became a fixture on MTV. Madonna is known for reinventing both her music and image, and for maintaining her autonomy within the recording industry. Music critics have acclaimed her musical productions, which have generated some controversy. Often referred to as the "Queen of Pop", she is often cited as an influence by other artists.
Fresh water Out of all the water on Earth, saline water in oceans, seas and saline groundwater make up about 97% of it. Only 2.5–2.75% is fresh water, including 1.75–2% frozen in glaciers, ice and snow, 0.5–0.75% as fresh groundwater and soil moisture, and less than 0.01% of it as surface water in lakes, swamps and rivers.[2][3] Freshwater lakes contain about 87% of this fresh surface water, including 29% in the African Great Lakes, 22% in Lake Baikal in Russia, 21% in the North American Great Lakes, and 14% in other lakes. Swamps have most of the balance with only a small amount in rivers, most notably the Amazon River. The atmosphere contains 0.04% water.[4] In areas with no fresh water on the ground surface, fresh water derived from precipitation may, because of its lower density, overlie saline ground water in lenses or layers. Most of the world's fresh water is frozen in ice sheets. Many areas suffer from lack of distribution of fresh water, such as deserts.
KABUL, Afghanistan — For three miraculous days in June 2018, the Afghan war came to a halt. Under a brief cease-fire agreement, Taliban fighters appeared in towns and cities, mingling with civilians and uniformed troops, praying in community mosques and getting a taste of peace. The fighting quickly resumed, and in the 18 months since, thousands more Afghan civilians and security forces have been killed, as well as over 40 American troops. Peace talks between Taliban and U.S. officials dragged on for a year, and were abruptly canceled in September by President Donald Trump. But suddenly, in the past week, rumors of a possible new truce have flooded the news, striking a rare spark of hope among the war-weary citizenry. International media outlets have reported that a cease-fire is imminent, citing unnamed sources after Taliban leaders held several meetings in Pakistan. The prospect of a truce, seen as the first step toward a U.S.-Taliban peace deal that would soon be followed by negotiations between Taliban and Afghan leaders, has also sparked a flurry of political activity and controversy over who would lead and participate in such talks. Spokesmen for the insurgents have adamantly denied the reports of a nationwide truce deal. But they have held open the possibility of accepting a narrower, more vaguely defined period of lessened conflict, with the time frame and territory still in dispute. "The Islamic Emirate has no intention of declaring a cease-fire," Zabihullah Mujahid, the main Taliban spokesman, said in a statement, using the group's name for a religious government. "The United States has asked for a reduction in the scale and intensity of violence, and discussions being held by the Islamic Emirate are revolving solely around this specific issue." American officials have said nothing about the conflicting reports; even the main U.S. negotiator, Zalmai Khalilzad, usually a fount of upbeat tweets, has fallen silent since returning to Washington this week after meeting with Taliban and Pakistani officials. Afghan officials said they have received no word from either side. The Taliban have refused to recognize Ghani's government, but he appears to have narrowly won re-election in a September poll and has asserted that the final results will confirm that, giving him a mandate to lead the peace effort. "We have not heard anything that raises our hopes for a truce," said Javid Faisal, an aide to Ghani. "We want it to happen, because it will be an important step forward toward negotiations among Afghans. But it has to be a real truce, a complete truce that is guaranteed and assured." In the absence of facts, a wave of confusion and commentary has swept media and political circles here. One common theory is that Taliban leaders in Pakistan agreed to a truce but that some field commanders still oppose it, believing they can win the 18-year war and return the country to full-fledged religious rule. The momentum has also been slowed by the likelihood that Trump may soon reduce the 13,000 U.S. troops in Afghanistan to about 8,600. Previously, U.S. officials insisted that the insurgents had to sign a peace agreement before any major troop cuts would take place. Other points of contention include whether the fighting pause would last one week or longer, whether it would be confined to certain cities or include rural areas, and whether it would be called a formal truce or a more subjective reduction in violence. "The Taliban are under pressure from Pakistan and the U.S. to sign a deal, and they may be putting on an appeasing face to buy time, but their past behavior shows they are difficult to trust," said Haroun Mir, an analyst in Kabul who helped found Afghanistan's Center for Research and Policy Studies. If the insurgents agree to a brief truce during a cold winter, when fighting always slows, he said, "it will mean nothing." On Tuesday, comments from Taliban and Afghan officials suggested that mistrust and intransigence remain high on all sides. One Taliban military commander insisted that as long as U.S. troops remain in Afghanistan, there can be no truce. A member of the government's High Peace Council said both Ghani and the insurgents are being too stubborn; the president, in turn, announced plans to dissolve the entire council. Since preliminary election results showed Ghani winning re-election by about 10,000 votes, his opponents have filed thousands of fraud complaints that may take months to investigate. But Ghani is racing to form a delegation to negotiate with the Taliban, even as an array of rivals have objected that they are being left out. "The whole country is keenly interested in peace, but the ground is not being prepared for it," said Ehsanullah Zia, Afghan director of the nonprofit U.S. Institute of Peace. Even with people dying every day, he said, some Afghans are demanding "red lines for peace. We don't have the luxury of setting red lines. People need to suppress their personal ambitions for the sake of the country." Aides to Ghani insist that the list of peace delegates, kept secret so far, will represent all sectors of society. In April, when Kabul tried to choose a group to meet with insurgent leaders in Qatar, it became so unwieldy that the insurgents canceled the talks. "These talks will be very inclusive," said Faisal. "All sides that matter will be included. If the Taliban don't accept it this time, the blame will go to them."
Mr. Monk and the End "Mr. Monk and the End" is the two-part series finale of the USA Network original criminal mystery dramedy television series, Monk. It is the fifteenth and sixteenth episodes of the eighth and final season, and is the 124th and 125th episodes in the series overall. Adrian Monk (Tony Shalhoub) finally discovers his wife Trudy's (Melora Hardin) murderer after twelve years of searching, concluding a seven-year, eight-season long arc. When "Part 2" aired, it set a series high and a new viewership record for the most watched episode of a regular drama series ever in basic cable with 9.4 million viewers.[1] Both parts were written by series creator Andy Breckman and directed by Randall Zisk.
The Zhengde Emperor (r. 1505–1521), who enjoyed the company of lamas at court despite protests from the censorate, had heard tales of a "living Buddha" which he desired to host at the Ming capital; this was none other than the Rinpung-supported Mikyö Dorje, 8th Karmapa Lama then occupying Lhasa. Zhengde's top advisors made every attempt to dissuade him from inviting this lama to court, arguing that Tibetan Buddhism was wildly heterodox and unorthodox. Despite protests by the Grand Secretary Liang Chu, in 1515 the Zhengde Emperor sent his eunuch official Liu Yun of the Palace Chancellery on a mission to invite this Karmapa to Beijing. Liu commanded a fleet of hundreds of ships requisitioned along the Yangtze, consuming 2,835 g (100 oz) of silver a day in food expenses while stationed for a year in Chengdu of Sichuan. After procurring necessary gifts for the mission, he departed with a cavalry force of about 1,000 troops. When the request was delivered, the Karmapa lama refused to leave Tibet despite the Ming force brought to coerce him. The Karmapa launched a surprise ambush on Liu Yun's camp, seizing all the goods and valuables while killing or wounding half of Liu Yun's entire escort. After this fiasco, Liu fled for his life, but only returned to Chengdu several years later to find that the Zhengde Emperor had died.
Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has made a first general election campaign pitch by promising to help deliver 50,000 new jobs and provide 25,000 new homes in the State this year. In a New Year video, Mr Varadkar and Tánaiste Simon Coveney list Fine Gael priorities for the coming year. Mr Varadkar says he will steer Ireland through the next phase of Brexit by helping to secure a trade deal between the European Union and the UK; he also vows to give Irish businesses and farmers access to the British market; and promises to “achieve a new record high when it comes to employment”. “We know that well-paid secure jobs are the best ways to improve living standards, create opportunity, and reduce poverty,” he says. Happy New Year! Want to know what my priorities are for the year ahead? pic.twitter.com/JcR6VM8Lge — Leo Varadkar (@LeoVaradkar) January 1, 2020 The Taoiseach also claims the Government will add 11,000 units to the social housing stock. “That’s more new social houses than any other year this century under any other party,” he says. The Taoiseach’s messages also alludes to climate change, with promises to reduce greenhouse emissions by creating warmer homes, improving air quality and investing in public transport. The video is the second such broadcast made by the Taoiseach in recent days. On St Stephen’s Day, he described his achievements since assuming office 2½ years ago. It is one of a number of social media broadcasts and publications recently issued by Fine Gael, suggesting the party is upping the ante ahead of a general election, which is widely expected to take place in the spring. Minister for Climate Action Richard Bruton has also announced a raft of initiatives on waste, packaging and climate change in recent days. Climate change and the “green agenda” are expected to be major themes of the election campaign. Fine Gael, in particular, may be vulnerable to rising support for the Green Party in affluent urban areas, after that party’s strong performance in the local and European elections and November’s byelections.

The school, which enrolls students from the 9th to the 12th grade, is part of the William S. Hart High School District. It is located on the Valencia College of the Canyons campus where the students of AOC are concurrently enrolled. Those who are enrolled take high school classes at the Academy of the Canyons section of the University Center, and college courses at the College of the Canyons campus. During grades 9-12 students can earn up to 80 college units, enough to receive an associate degree. A few students at Academy of the Canyons have also received multiple associate degrees by or before their high school graduation. A bonus is that high school students will also receive a College of the Canyons I.D. card and a 25 Score Card. Unfortunately, due to CIF regulations, students are not allowed to participate in High School Sports or Intercollegiate Sports.
A Cat in the Brain (Italian: Un gatto nel cervello; also known as Nightmare Concert and I volti del terrore) is a 1990 Italian horror film written and directed by the "Italian godfather of gore" Lucio Fulci. "A Cat in the Brain" is one of Lucio Fulci's final films and is notable for self-reflexively summing up his career. The film is a meta-film in which the director appears playing himself, a tortured horror filmmaker who is driven by the violent visions that he experiences both behind the camera and off the set. Feeling like he's losing his grip on reality and disturbed by murderous fantasies, Fulci consults a psychotherapist. The "shrink" exploits the director's vulnerabilities to his own murderous ends.
Sinking of the RMS Titanic The sinking of the RMS Titanic occurred on the night of 14 April through to the morning of 15 April 1912 in the North Atlantic Ocean, four days into the ship's maiden voyage from Southampton to New York City. The largest passenger liner in service at the time, Titanic had an estimated 2,224 people on board when she struck an iceberg at around 23:40 (ship's time)[a] on Sunday, 14 April 1912. Her sinking two hours and forty minutes later at 02:20 (05:18 GMT) on Monday, 15 April resulted in the deaths of more than 1,500 people, which made it one of the deadliest peacetime maritime disasters in history.
The Watch Tower Society rejects accusations that it is a false prophet, stating that its teachings are not inspired or infallible, and that it has not claimed its predictions were "the words of Jehovah." George D. Chryssides has suggested that with the exception of statements about 1914, 1925 and 1975, the changing views and dates of the Jehovah's Witnesses are largely attributable to changed understandings of biblical chronology than to failed predictions. Chryssides further states, "it is therefore simplistic and naïve to view the Witnesses as a group that continues to set a single end-date that fails and then devise a new one, as many counter-cultists do." However, sociologist Andrew Holden states that since the foundation of the movement around 140 years ago, "Witnesses have maintained that we are living on the precipice of the end of time."

The , often referred to as a series of firebombing raids , was conducted as part of the air raids on Japan by the United States Army Air Forces during the Pacific campaigns of World War II . The US first mounted a small-scale raid on Tokyo in April 1942 . Strategic bombing and urban area bombing began in 1944 after the long-range B-29 Superfortress bomber entered service , first deployed from China and thereafter the Mariana Islands . B-29 raids from those islands began on 17 November 1944 , and lasted until 15 August 1945 , the day Japan capitulated . The Operation Meetinghouse air raid of 9 -- 10 March 1945 , which annihilated 16 sq.miles and left over 1 million homeless , was later estimated to be the single most destructive bombing raid in human history . The Japanese later called this event Night of the Black Snow .
Lockheed "Have Blue" was the code name for Lockheed's demonstrator (i.e., "proof of concept") that preceded the F-117 Nighthawk production stealth aircraft. "Have Blue" was designed by Lockheed's Skunk Works division, and tested at Groom Lake, Nevada. The "Have Blue" was the first fixed-wing aircraft whose external shape was defined by radar engineering rather than by aerospace engineering. The aircraft's plate-like, faceted shape was designed to deflect electromagnetic waves in directions other than that of the originating radar emitter, greatly reducing its radar cross-section. Two flyable vehicles were constructed, but both crashed during the flight-test program.
If saving money is high on your list of New Year's resolutions, then there's a simple way to ensure you have a nice nest egg at the end of 2020 - without it feeling too taxing. Rather than make drastic promises that are difficult to keep, UK parenting site PlayPennies has challenged Brits to start by saving a single penny and adding one more every day. The money-saving approach, which lasts for 365 days, could net you almost £700 over the course of the year. It works by putting one penny away today and adding an extra penny every day, so that your saving matches the day of the year - for instance 1p on day one, 100p on day 100 and so on. The scheme starts with you saving one penny on the first day, before adding a penny every day for 365 days It means on the final day you will put £3.65 into your piggy bank, bringing the total amount saved in a year to £667.95. Because it's a case of saving just a few pounds each day by the end of the scheme, the plan is designed to feel accessible. You could also try the challenge in reverse, by starting with a £3.65 saving and working backwards. The parenting site suggests the money-saving approach is 'a low impact way to work towards that holiday or wedding dress'. Rather than make drastic promises that are difficult to keep, UK parenting site PlayPennies has challenged Brits to put aide just an extra penny everyday (stock photo) The money will come as a welcome boost to many during the festive season, after shoppers spent millions of pounds Christmas shopping last year. Plus, four in 10 UK adults were expected to make the most of sales from Boxing Day, spending an average of £186 each and a total of £3.7billion, according to Barclaycard. Meanwhile, online sales were set to rise by 10 per cent on 2018 to £1.14billion. Opinium Research surveyed 2,002 UK adults online for Barclaycard between November 29 and December 3.
Namibia (i/nəˈmɪbiə/, /næˈ-/), officially the Republic of Namibia (German: Republik Namibia (help·info); Afrikaans: Republiek van Namibië) is a country in southern Africa whose western border is the Atlantic Ocean. It shares land borders with Zambia and Angola to the north, Botswana to the east and South Africa to the south and east. Although it does not border Zimbabwe, a part of less than 200 metres of the Zambezi River (essentially a small bulge in Botswana to achieve a Botswana/Zambia micro-border) separates it from that country. Namibia gained independence from South Africa on 21 March 1990, following the Namibian War of Independence. Its capital and largest city is Windhoek, and it is a member state of the United Nations (UN), the Southern African Development Community (SADC), the African Union (AU), and the Commonwealth of Nations.

Dining Duo takes the chicken sandwich challenge Share Popeye’s, Chick-fil-A, Wendy’s in a taste bud battle ‘The Dining Duo’ Special to the Times Back in the summer, if you recall, Popeye’s Louisiana Kitchen debuted its first-ever chicken sandwich in that growing fast food market niche and sparked a cute Twitter battle with Chick-fil-A over who has the best chicken sandwich. Popeye’s new chicken sandwich sold out in 15 days and it actually sparked fights in the parking lot among customers trying to get their hands on one. It returned on Nov. 5 and this time Popeye’s insists that it won’t run out again. Chick-fil-A, which is now the third-largest fast-food chain in the country, fired back that its bun+chicken+ pickles is still the “original” chicken sandwich. Not to be outdone, Wendy’s Tweeted that they were enjoying watching the two rival chains fighting over who has the “second best” chicken sandwich. The Dining Duo decided to take the chicken sandwich challenge to see which of the three we liked best. “Cat” and I attempted to try this a few months ago, but Popeye’s had not brought it back on the menu yet. I know I promised that “Cat” would make an appearance, but Christmas family responsibilities got in the way and she was unable to take the challenge. She has promised though to join me for lunch and dinner in Germantown soon. Instead, I enlisted the help of “Poison Ivy,” who used her plant toxins and mind-controlling pheromones to get me to let her come along on this Dining Duo excursion. We started with Chickfil- A. Believe it or not, “Ivy” had never been to Chick-fil-A before. She’s not much on eating fried foods. She enjoyed her first bite, noting that it had a nice pickle-y flavor. Chick-fil-A’s sandwiches are marinated in pickle brine, served on a toasted bun with two pickles. “It’s very good,” Ivy said. “It’s very juicy. It’s definitely not a chopped and pressed chicken patty and not very fast food-y. It’s more like one that you would get at a sit down restaurant.” I agree that Chick-fil-A has a good taste to it. I’ve had it before. This time, thankfully, it wasn’t too greasy. It’s a good chicken sandwich, better than the frozen ones at McDonald’s, but not my favorite. Next up was Wendy’s country-style chicken sandwich. I expected this to be the weakest of the three. I expected it to be a small frozen patty. I was pleasantly surprised. It was a nice plump piece of chicken. It had a good taste to it, but it still tastes…I don’t know, fast food-y, but a higher quality fast food taste. I really liked it. “Ivy” also agreed that it has a good taste, but noted “it’s not the quality of the Chick-fil-A. Popeye’s was the one I was the most curious about. I love Popeye’s. It’s my favorite place to go for fried chicken. But I wondered it if really could top Chick-fil-A. They are the “original” after all. One thing we both noticed right away was how big the chicken is on these sandwiches. It looks like a big piece of breaded fried chicken. “It’s massive,” Ivy said. “It’s good. I like it. It is more old-fashioned tasting.” Popeye’s sandwich is served on a toasted brioche bun and also has pickles. I’m not a big pickle fan on my sandwiches, but the quality of Popeye’s pickles are far superior to the ones on Chick-fil-A. “These are better pickles,” Ivy agreed.” “Ivy” and I both agreed though, that Popeye’s chicken sandwich doesn’t taste like what you expect a chicken sandwich to taste like. It tastes, well, like fried chicken on a bun. Don’t get me wrong, I loved it. But I guess I am used to a frozen chicken patty that you get at most fast food places. We also sampled the spicy Popeye’s chicken sandwich. I also love Popeye’s spicy chicken, but it doesn’t love me back so I have had to lay off it because it kills my stomach. “Ivy” noted right away that yes, this sucker is VERY hot and spicy, the kind of burn your fingers spicy. “Just licking my fingers made my mouth burn,” “Ivy” said. At the end of our little taste test, “Ivy” and I compared notes and assigned a rank to each one. IVY: 1. Chick-fil-A — “I like that mild pickle taste,” “Ivy” said. 2.

Donald Duck: 10 surprising facts about Walt Disney's character - Telegraph Disney Donald Duck: 10 surprising facts about Walt Disney's character Donald Duck was born – in Walt Disney's cartoon The Wise Little Hen – 80 years ago. Here are 10 facts about the cartoon superstar Donald Duck made his first appearance in a film on June 9, 1934 Photo: Rex Features By Telegraph Reporters 10:50AM BST 09 Jun 2014 • DONALD DUCK was created by Walt Disney when he heard Clarence Nash doing his "duck" voice while reciting Mary Had a Little Lamb. Disney wanted a character that was more negative than Mickey Mouse, so the bad-tempered Duck was born. Nash voiced the character from 1934 to 1983, training Tony Anselmo to take over. "Donald, I can't understand a word ya say,” Mickey Mouse says. • HIS MIDDLE NAME is Fauntleroy (first revealed in the 1942 film Donald Gets Drafted), and he is reportedly the only major Disney character with an official middle name. He has a twin sister named Dumbella. In the late Thirties, Donald was joined by his perennial girlfriend, Daisy Duck, and by his three mischievous nephews, Huey, Dewey, and Louie. • RAY DAVIES of the Kinks namechecks Donald Duck in the opening lines of his 1968 song We are the Village Green Preservation Society, with the lyrics: We are the Village Green Preservation Society, God save Donald Duck, Vaudeville and Variety • A SPECIAL microphone, The Neumann TLM-170, was used to record Donald’s voice. Preferred for its warmth, this microphone also rounds out the high tones and smoothes the “splat” in Donald’s voice. Related Articles Ninety years of Disney: in pictures 16 Oct 2013 • DONALD DUCK first appeared on the silver screen on June 9, 1934, in the animated short film, The Wise Little Hen, dancing to the Sailor's Hornpipe. He has gone on to star in seven feature films--which is more than any of his Disney counterparts. He is six years younger than Mickey Mouse. • HE WON AN OSCAR for the 1943 animated short Der Feuhrer's Face, which was originally titled Donald Duck in NutziLand. The anti-Nazi cartoon begins with music from Wagner's comic opera Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg and also features Groucho Marx's singing. • FINNISH voters who want to register a protest vote mark their ballots with the name Donald Duck. • DONALD DUCK, who usually wears a sailor shirt, cap, and a red or black bow tie, but no trousers, is the only popular film and TV cartoon character to appear as a mascot for the sports team of a major American university, namely, the Oregon Ducks at the University of Oregon. • WALT DISNEY said of the character: "One of the greatest satisfactions in our work here at the studio is the warm relationship that exists within our cartoon family. Mickey, Pluto, Goofy, and the whole gang have always been a lot of fun to work with. But like many large families, we have a problem child. You’re right, it’s Donald Duck.” • THE renowned early illustrators of Donald Duck were Al Taliaferro, Carl Barks, and Don Rosa. Donald Duck first appeared as a drawing in a May 1934 issue of Good Housekeeping magazine promoting the June film The Wise Little Hen. The magazine is sought after by collectors.

Color theory encompasses a multitude of definitions, concepts and design applications-enough to fill several encyclopedias. However, there are three basic categories of color theory that are logical and useful: The color wheel, color harmony, and the context of how colors are used.rimary Colors: Red, yellow and blue. In traditional color theory (used in paint and pigments), primary colors are the 3 pigment colors that can not be mixed or formed by any combination of other colors. All other colors are derived from these 3 hues. Secondary Colors: Green, orange and purple.
Predators may increase the biodiversity of communities by preventing a single species from becoming dominant. Such predators are known as keystone species and may have a profound influence on the balance of organisms in a particular ecosystem. Introduction or removal of this predator, or changes in its population density, can have drastic cascading effects on the equilibrium of many other populations in the ecosystem. For example, grazers of a grassland may prevent a single dominant species from taking over.

Alcohol laws of New York In New York, for the purposes of state law, there are only four hours out of each day of the week (with the exception of Sunday) in which alcohol may not be served: 4:00 a.m. to 8:00 a.m. This was designed to accommodate New York City nightlife as well as late night workers statewide in general. Some upstate areas such as Buffalo, Albany, and Saratoga Springs retain the 4am closing time although individual counties are free to set an earlier "last call." In Binghamton, this is at 3:00 a.m.; in Syracuse, Plattsburgh, Oneonta, and Rochester, bars close at 2:00 a.m.; and Elmira, Geneva, and Ithaca, have some of the earliest closing times in the state at 1 a.m. For a complete list of closing hours by county, see http://www.sla.ny.gov/provisions-for-county-closing-hours.

The 2011 census recorded that 2,998,264 people or 36.7% of London's population are foreign-born making London the city with the second largest immigrant population, behind New York City, in terms of absolute numbers. The table to the right shows the most common countries of birth of London residents. Note that some of the German-born population, in 18th position, are British citizens from birth born to parents serving in the British Armed Forces in Germany. With increasing industrialisation, London's population grew rapidly throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries, and it was for some time in the late 19th and early 20th centuries the most populous city in the world. Its population peaked at 8,615,245 in 1939 immediately before the outbreak of the Second World War, but had declined to 7,192,091 at the 2001 Census. However, the population then grew by just over a million between the 2001 and 2011 Censuses, to reach 8,173,941 in the latter enumeration.
I'm on the Outside (Looking In) "I'm on the Outside (Looking In)" is a 1964 hit song by Little Anthony and the Imperials, issued on DCP Records. It was a Billboard Top 20 Pop hit, peaking at number 15.[1] Written by Teddy Randazzo and Bobby Weinstein, this was the group's comeback single, ending a long period of inactivity. After the group's first hit-making period, with such hits as "Tears on My Pillow", "Two People In The World", and "Shimmy Shimmy Ko-Ko Bop", lead singer "Little Anthony" Gourdine left the group for a solo career. Both he and the group released records separately, but none of them were hits. By 1963, both entities had faded from the charts. In the interim, The Imperials had gone through some membership changes as well. While original members Ernest Wright and group founder Clarence Collins had remained with the group, the other original members, Tracy Lord and Nathanial Rogers, left the group, and Sammy Strain joined the group.
Although most hardware clones were not produced under license by Nintendo, certain companies were granted licenses to produce NES-compatible devices. The Sharp Corporation produced at least two such clones: the Twin Famicom and the SHARP 19SC111 television. The Twin Famicom was compatible with both Famicom cartridges and Famicom Disk System disks. It was available in two colors (red and black) and used hardwired controllers (as did the original Famicom), but it featured a different case design. The SHARP 19SC111 television was a television which included a built-in Famicom. A similar licensing deal was reached with Hyundai Electronics, who licensed the system under the name Comboy in the South Korean market. This deal with Hyundai was made necessary because of the South Korean government's wide ban on all Japanese "cultural products", which remained in effect until 1998 and ensured that the only way Japanese products could legally enter the South Korean market was through licensing to a third-party (non-Japanese) distributor (see also Japan–Korea disputes).

Night Shyamalan for "The Sixth Sense" Among this year's varied Oscar contenders, British-London theatrical-stage director Sam Mendes' debut feature film American Beauty, a quirky, grim dark comedy/drama about the contemporary American family from DreamWorks, was the top Oscar-winning film (with eight significant nominations and five wins). With an ensemble cast, the low-budget film viewed a dysfunctional family's angst and crisis in suburbia. It was shot for roughly $12.5 million in 55 days. Significant images included symbolically-used, computer-generated rose petals, and the sight of a wind-tossed plastic garbage bag. It was the first non-historical epic (or non-period film) to win the top honor since Silence of the Lambs (1991) . Its five Oscars included Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Cinematography (Conrad L. Hall with his second Oscar following a previous win for Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) ) and Best Original Screenplay (Alan Ball).

American Beauty lost its three nominations for Best Actress, Best Film Editing, and Best Original Score (Thomas Newman). Hilary Swank's win as Best Actress for Boys Don't Cry (over Annette Bening) kept American Beauty from sweeping the 'Big Five' honors. The first of the other heavily-nominated Best Picture nominees (below) was the only one that won Oscars: director Lasse Hallstrom's and Miramax's coming of age story The Cider House Rules (with seven nominations and two wins), set within a New England orphanage/abortion clinic, with two Oscars, Best Adapted Screenplay (by John Irving for his own 1985 novel) and Best Supporting Actor (Michael Caine).

Pigment Pigments appear colored because they selectively reflect and absorb certain wavelengths of visible light. White light is a roughly equal mixture of the entire spectrum of visible light with a wavelength in a range from about 375 or 400 nanometers to about 760 or 780 nm. When this light encounters a pigment, parts of the spectrum are absorbed by the pigment. Organic pigments such as diazo or phthalocyanine compounds feature conjugated systems of double bonds. Some inorganic pigments, such as vermilion (mercury sulfide) or cadmium yellow (cadmium sulfide), absorb light by transferring an electron from the negative ion (S) to the positive ion (Hg or Cd). The other wavelengths or parts of the spectrum are reflected or scattered. The new reflected light spectrum creates the appearance of a color. Pigments, unlike fluorescent or phosphorescent substances, can only subtract wavelengths from the source light, never add new ones.

In The New Yorker music critic Jody Rosen described Beyoncé as "the most important and compelling popular musician of the twenty-first century..... the result, the logical end point, of a century-plus of pop." When The Guardian named her Artist of the Decade, Llewyn-Smith wrote, "Why Beyoncé? [...] Because she made not one but two of the decade's greatest singles, with Crazy in Love and Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It), not to mention her hits with Destiny's Child; and this was the decade when singles – particularly R&B singles – regained their status as pop's favourite medium. [...] [She] and not any superannuated rock star was arguably the greatest live performer of the past 10 years." In 2013, Beyoncé made the Time 100 list, Baz Luhrmann writing "no one has that voice, no one moves the way she moves, no one can hold an audience the way she does... When Beyoncé does an album, when Beyoncé sings a song, when Beyoncé does anything, it's an event, and it's broadly influential. Right now, she is the heir-apparent diva of the USA — the reigning national voice." In 2014, Beyoncé was listed again on the Time 100 and also featured on the cover of the issue.
Judge Taylor appoints Atticus to defend Tom Robinson, a black man who has been accused of raping a young white woman, Mayella Ewell. Although many of Maycomb's citizens disapprove, Atticus agrees to defend Tom to the best of his ability. Other children taunt Jem and Scout for Atticus's actions, calling him a "nigger-lover". Scout is tempted to stand up for her father's honor by fighting, even though he has told her not to. Atticus faces a group of men intent on lynching Tom. This danger is averted when Scout, Jem, and Dill shame the mob into dispersing by forcing them to view the situation from Atticus' and Tom's points of view.
Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States (1856 - 1924) - Genealogy Thomas Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States Birthdate: in Washington, District of Columbia, District of Columbia, United States Cause of death: stroke and heart related problems: apoplexy Immediate Family: stepchild About Woodrow Wilson, 28th President of the United States Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924)[1] was the twenty-eighth President of the United States. A leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as President of Princeton University and then became the Governor of New Jersey in 1910. With Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft dividing the Republican Party vote, Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912. He proved highly successful in leading a Democratic Congress to pass major legislation that included the Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Federal Farm Loan Act, America's first-ever federal progressive income tax in the Revenue Act of 1913 and most notably the Federal Reserve Act.[2][3] Thomas Woodrow Wilson was the 28th president of the United States. 28th President of the United States of America Woodrow Wilson helped establish both the Federal Reserve and Federal Trade Commission during his presidency. He was president during World War I and was the second president to be awarded the Nobel Peace Prize. Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856–February 3, 1924), was the twenty-eighth President of the United States. A devout Presbyterian and leading intellectual of the Progressive Era, he served as president of Princeton University then became the reform governor of New Jersey in 1910. With Theodore Roosevelt and William Howard Taft dividing the Republican vote, Wilson was elected President as a Democrat in 1912. He proved highly successful in leading a Democratic Congress to pass major legislation including the Federal Trade Commission, the Clayton Antitrust Act, the Underwood Tariff, the Federal Farm Loan Act and most notably the Federal Reserve System. Re-elected narrowly in 1916, his second term centered on World War I. He tried to negotiate a peace in Europe, but when Germany began unrestricted submarine warfare he wrote several notes to Germany. He called on Congress to declare war when the factors that would lead to a favorable decision to enter war built up. Ignoring military affairs, he focused on diplomacy and finance. On the home front he began the first effective draft in 1917, raised billions through Liberty loans, imposed an income tax, set up the War Industries Board, promoted labor union growth, supervised agriculture and food production through the Lever Act, took over control of the railroads, and suppressed anti-war movements. He paid surprisingly little attention to military affairs, but provided the funding and food supplies that helped to make Allied victory in 1918 possible. In the late stages of the war he took personal control of negotiations with Germany, especially with the Fourteen Points and the Armistice. He went to Paris in 1919 to create the League of Nations and shape the Treaty of Versailles, with special attention on creating new nations out of defunct empires. Wilson collapsed with a debilitating stroke in 1919, as the home front saw massive strikes and race riots, and wartime prosperity turn into postwar depression. He refused to compromise with the Republicans who controlled Congress after 1918, effectively destroying any chance for ratification of the Treaty of Versailles. The League of Nations went into operation anyway, but the U.S. never joined. Wilson's idealistic internationalism, whereby the U.S. enters the world arena to fight for democracy, progressiveness, and liberalism, has been a highly controversial position in American foreign policy, serving as a model for "idealists" to emulate or "realists" to reject for the following century. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Woodrow_Wilson Thomas Woodrow Wilson (December 28, 1856 – February 3, 1924)[1][2] was the 28th President of the United States.

Providence Island Sign Language -LRB- also known as Provisle or `` Providencia Sign Language '' -RRB- is a village sign language of the small island community of Providence Island in the Western Caribbean , off the coast of Nicaragua but belonging to Colombia . The island is about 15 sqmi and the total population is about 5000 , of which an unusual proportion are deaf -LRB- 5 in 1,000 -RRB- . It is believed that the sign language emerged in the late 19th or early 20th century . Brief sociological studies have suggested that deaf people on the island are regarded as inferior in mental ability ; hearing people do not discuss complex ideas with them , and they hold a marginalized social position . Perhaps consequently , PISL is rather simplistic in comparison to other sign languages . Another possibility for the state of the language is that few deaf people communicate directly , meaning that almost all signing is mediated by the hearing population .

T.S. Eliot - Biographical T.S. Eliot The Nobel Prize in Literature 1948 T.S. Eliot Share this: T.S. Eliot - Biographical Thomas Stearns Eliot (1888-1965) was born in St. Louis, Missouri, of an old New England family. He was educated at Harvard and did graduate work in philosophy at the Sorbonne, Harvard, and Merton College, Oxford. He settled in England, where he was for a time a schoolmaster and a bank clerk, and eventually literary editor for the publishing house Faber & Faber, of which he later became a director. He founded and, during the seventeen years of its publication (1922-1939), edited the exclusive and influential literary journal Criterion. In 1927, Eliot became a British citizen and about the same time entered the Anglican Church. Eliot has been one of the most daring innovators of twentieth-century poetry. Never compromising either with the public or indeed with language itself, he has followed his belief that poetry should aim at a representation of the complexities of modern civilization in language and that such representation necessarily leads to difficult poetry. Despite this difficulty his influence on modern poetic diction has been immense. Eliot's poetry from Prufrock (1917) to the Four Quartets (1943) reflects the development of a Christian writer: the early work, especially The Waste Land (1922), is essentially negative, the expression of that horror from which the search for a higher world arises. In Ash Wednesday (1930) and the Four Quartets this higher world becomes more visible; nonetheless Eliot has always taken care not to become a «religious poet». and often belittled the power of poetry as a religious force. However, his dramas Murder in the Cathedral (1935) and The Family Reunion (1939) are more openly Christian apologies. In his essays, especially the later ones, Eliot advocates a traditionalism in religion, society, and literature that seems at odds with his pioneer activity as a poet. But although the Eliot of Notes towards the Definition of Culture (1948) is an older man than the poet of The Waste Land, it should not be forgotten that for Eliot tradition is a living organism comprising past and present in constant mutual interaction. Eliot's plays Murder in the Cathedral (1935), The Family Reunion (1939), The Cocktail Party (1949), The Confidential Clerk (1954), and TheElderStatesman(1959) were published in one volume in 1962; Collected Poems 1909-62 appeared in 1963. From Nobel Lectures , Literature 1901-1967, Editor Horst Frenz, Elsevier Publishing Company, Amsterdam, 1969 This autobiography/biography was written at the time of the award and first published in the book series Les Prix Nobel . It was later edited and republished in Nobel Lectures . To cite this document, always state the source as shown above. T.S. Eliot died on January 4, 1965.
Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis) Tennis Elbow (Lateral Epicondylitis)In this Article The Causes of Tennis Elbow Symptoms of Tennis Elbow Treatment for Tennis Elbow Recovering from Tennis Elbow How to Prevent Tennis Elbow Tennis elbow is a type of tendinitis -- swelling of the tendons -- that causes pain in the elbow and arm. These tendons are bands of tough tissue that connect the muscles of your lower arm to the bone. Despite its name, you can still get tennis elbow even if you've never been near a tennis court. Instead, any repetitive gripping activities, especially if they use the thumb and first two fingers, may contribute to tennis elbow. Tennis elbow is the most common reason that people see their doctors for elbow pain. It can pop up in people of any age, but it's most common at about age 40. The Causes of Tennis Elbow Tennis elbow usually develops over time. Repetitive motions -- like gripping a racket during a swing -- can strain the muscles and put too much stress on the tendons. That constant tugging can eventually cause microscopic tears in the tissue. Tennis elbow might result from: Tennis Racquetball Squash Fencing Weight lifting It can also affect people with jobs or hobbies that require repetitive arm movements or gripping such as: Continue Reading Belowyou might like Carpentry Typing Painting Raking Knitting Symptoms of Tennis Elbow The symptoms of tennis elbow include pain and tenderness in the bony knob on the outside of your elbow. This knob is where the injured tendons connect to the bone. The pain may also radiate into the upper or lower arm. Although the damage is in the elbow, you're likely to hurt when doing things with your hands. Tennis elbow may cause the most pain when you: Lift something Make a fist or grip an object, such as a tennis racket Open a door or shake hands Raise your hand or straighten your wrist Tennis elbow is similar to another condition called golfer's elbow, which affects the tendons on the inside of the elbow. To diagnose your tennis elbow, your doctor will do a thorough exam. He or she will want you to flex your arm, wrist, and elbow to see where it hurts. You may also need imaging tests, such as an X-ray or MRI ( magnetic resonance imaging) to diagnose tennis elbow or rule out other problems.1 2 3 View All

Treaty Clause Article II, Section 2, Clause 2 of the United States Constitution, includes the Treaty Clause, which empowers the president of the United States to propose and chiefly negotiate agreements, which must be confirmed by the Senate, between the United States and other countries, which become treaties between the United States and other countries after the advice and consent of a supermajority of the United States Senate.
Earth Earth's lithosphere is divided into several rigid tectonic plates that migrate across the surface over periods of many millions of years. About 71% of Earth's surface is covered with water, mostly by oceans.[29] The remaining 29% is land consisting of continents and islands that together have many lakes, rivers and other sources of water that contribute to the hydrosphere. The majority of Earth's polar regions are covered in ice, including the Antarctic ice sheet and the sea ice of the Arctic ice pack. Earth's interior remains active with a solid iron inner core, a liquid outer core that generates the Earth's magnetic field, and a convecting mantle that drives plate tectonics.

2000 Academy Awards® Winners and History Traffic (2000, Germ./US) Actor: RUSSELL CROWE in "Gladiator," Javier Bardem in "Before Night Falls," Tom Hanks in "Cast Away," Ed Harris in "Pollock," Geoffrey Rush in "Quills" Actress: JULIA ROBERTS in "Erin Brockovich," Joan Allen in "The Contender," Juliette Binoche in "Chocolat," Ellen Burstyn in "Requiem for a Dream," Laura Linney in "You Can Count On Me" Supporting Actor: BENICIO DEL TORO in "Traffic," Jeff Bridges in "The Contender," Willem Dafoe in "Shadow of the Vampire," Albert Finney in "Erin Brockovich," Joaquin Phoenix in "Gladiator" Supporting Actress: MARCIA GAY HARDEN in "Pollock," Judi Dench in "Chocolat," " Kate Hudson in "Almost Famous," Frances McDormand in "Almost Famous," Julie Walters in "Billy Elliot" Director: STEVEN SODERBERGH for "Traffic," Stephen Daldry for "Billy Elliot," Ang Lee for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon," Steven Soderbergh for "Erin Brockovich," Ridley Scott for "Gladiator" This year's Best Picture nominees were from an eclectic, diverse and varied group of films: two fighting epics (one foreign, one ancient), two dramas about battles (America's failed drug war and a legal struggle against a power company), and a simple, comic fable. Three of the five Best Picture nominees prominently featured women. The Oscar awards were spread somewhat evenly among the Best Picture nominees, except for Chocolat. The big winner in 2000 was director Ridley Scott's spectacular, big budget (over $200 million) sword-and-sandal Roman Empire epic set in 180 A.D., Gladiator - a basic tale of good vs. evil, betrayal, and revenge - about an outcast Roman general (and single-minded rebel-hero) seeking vengeance for betrayal and his family's death. The spectacle of the Roman Colosseum's gladiatorial battles and contests was balanced with royal intrigue involving the resentful heir to the Roman throne. (Although greatly enhanced with CGI-digital effects, it revived the memory of dramatic historic-epic films and 'sword-and-sandal' spectaculars of the 50s, such as Quo Vadis? (1951), Ben-Hur (1959) and Spartacus (1960).) The film received twelve nominations and won five awards: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Visual Effects, Best Sound, and Best Costume Design. DreamWorks Studios boasted back-to-back wins for Best Picture - it also won the previous year with American Beauty (1999). Its nominations included the major and minor categories of Best Director, Best Picture, Best Original Screenplay, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actor, Best Score, Best Visual Effects, Best Cinematography, Best Film Editing, Best Art Direction, Best Sound, and Best Costumes. This marked the first time in 51 years -- since 1949 (the year that All the King's Men (1949) had seven nominations and three wins: Best Picture, Best Actor, and Best Supporting Actress) that the Best Picture winner didn't also win an additional Oscar for Best Director or for Best Screenplay. The other Best Picture nominees included the following: Ang Lee's Mandarin-language martial-arts film, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (or Wo hu zang long) (with ten nominations and four wins), was the biggest-earning foreign film of all time (at $130 million), and the most-nominated foreign language film ever. The film's four wins tied it

Slavery Abolition Act 1833 The Act had its third reading in the House of Commons on 26 July 1833, three days before William Wilberforce died.[12] It received the Royal Assent a month later, on 28 August, and came into force the following year, on 1 August 1834. In practical terms, only slaves below the age of six were freed in the colonies. Former slaves over the age of six were redesignated as "apprentices", and their servitude was abolished in two stages: the first set of apprenticeships came to an end on 1 August 1838, while the final apprenticeships were scheduled to cease on 1 August 1840. The Act specifically excluded "the Territories in the Possession of the East India Company, or to the Island of Ceylon, or to the Island of Saint Helena." The exceptions were eliminated in 1843.[13]

German Cars - Leaders In The Automobile World German Cars — Leaders In The Automobile World Without a doubt, Germany with its German cars is one of the leading automobile havens in the world. It is a country that has produced many firsts, like the four stroke engine invented by Nikolaus August Otto in 1876 among others. Germany doesn’t fall short with car manufacturing either, with close to 10 million cars produced every year with almost 1 million people employed. From Audi , BMW , and Porsche to Mercedes Benz (also known as Daimler) and Volkswagen — all of these companies have factories scattered throughout the world and even more happy fans to boot. Audi The first line of German cars under discussion is Audi. Headquartered in Ingolstadt , it is owned by the Volkswagen Group and has been doing extremely well with European sales. Audi is widely considered to have the best build quality of all commercial auto manufacturers, with record sales figures coming from half of its 50 major sales markets in 2004. Following increases in sales in different world regions, Audi has responded by building dealerships in these areas and expanding its brand. BMW Another major German cars brand is the BMW (outspoken: Bayerische Motorenwerke), which is located in Munich (München) . Known as the “Ultimate Driving Machine” in the United States, the company was founded by Karl Rapp in 1913. Originally, BMW was intended to be an aircraft manufacturer until it secured a contract to build V12 engines. Today, after countless design changes, it can safely say it belongs in the same class as the other luxury German cars like Mercedes Benz and Porsche. It is known to be cheaper than its counterparts as well, manufacturing everything from compact I series vehicles to the fancy 5, 6, and 7 series. Porsche Another bona fide German automobile company is the immortal Porsche series, whose Headquarters are locate in Stuttgart . Known as amongst some of the finest cars in the world, it has crafted a niche as a racing car king, with more than 190 cars built for racing events alone in 2006. From the 24 Hour Nürburgring race in June (one of Germany’s largest motorsport events) to the American Le Mans Series with races in Long Beach, Houston, and St. Petersburg, Russia – Porsche always delivers in the racing department. Plus, it was Ferdinand Porsche that came up with the VW Beetle prototype. Mercedes Benz One of the largest car manufacturer worldwide is also located in Sindelfingen , Germany, named Mercedes Benz, also known as Daimler. Daimler is well-known as producing cars with the longest life span. It is very common to drive a Mercedes Benz for 20+ years. Volkswagen (VW) Volkswagen, located in Wolfsburg, is another large car manufacturer and employer in Germany, producing cars all around the world. The world famous Käfer became a national symbol for the industrialization in the years after World War II . Its follower, Beetle, is as well a symbol for freedom, joy, and happiness. — All of the aforementioned cars speak volumes over Germany’s influence in the racing world. From the BMW to the Audi, Germany will continue to remain one of the premier racing and driving destinations in the world. ;-)
In 1918 Whitehead's academic responsibilities began to seriously expand as he accepted a number of high administrative positions within the University of London system, of which Imperial College London was a member at the time. He was elected Dean of the Faculty of Science at the University of London in late 1918 (a post he held for four years), a member of the University of London's Senate in 1919, and chairman of the Senate's Academic (leadership) Council in 1920, a post which he held until he departed for America in 1924. Whitehead was able to exert his newfound influence to successfully lobby for a new history of science department, help establish a Bachelor of Science degree (previously only Bachelor of Arts degrees had been offered), and make the school more accessible to less wealthy students.
Sarah Tew/CNET CES 2020 is going to be packed with new tech ready to advance the gaming world. While we won't know many of the details until the week of the show, it looks like there will be plenty happening in the gaming industry, including new PC components, accessories and ways to make video games more immersive with augmented reality, virtual reality and haptic technology. Here's some of what we expect to see at CES 2020. Read more: CES 2020 preview: PCs, laptops, tablets and gaming What should we be on the lookout for from major companies? We could see announcements from Intel, AMD and Nvidia, which could come with new CPUs or GPUs. Last year, Nvidia's 2080 graphics card series for laptops garnered a lot of attention at the show. New gaming PCs could be on the horizon from Alienware, Dell's in-house gaming brand, HP, Asus and others. Last year, for example, Alienware released the 17-inch m17 gaming laptop alongside an updated m15. Razer also typically has some gaming surprises -- last year, it unveiled the Razer Blade 15 Advanced laptop, and a new concept design for a high-end gaming display. New gaming components for PC and console Iogear could have some new gamer accessories for PCs, particularly keyboards, mice, headsets, emulators and more. Looking around the show floor map, we see Shenzen companies such as GCHT Gaming, which specializes in game controllers, and Gamtec Technology Development, Mijoy and Riitek, which offer products like gaming accessories for PC, PS4, Xbox, Switch and Android. Virtual reality and immersive gaming through haptics Cybershoes At CES 2020, we can expect to see technology that further immerses players in video games -- like Cybershoes that let you "walk and run" in a virtual reality game. You'll be able to feel the game around you with BHaptic's wireless full-body haptic suit -- Tactsuit -- which is comprised of a haptic HMDS, a vest and sleeves for the hands, arms and feet. You'll be able to feel samurai slashes, gunshots, zombie bites and hugs in VR content in the Oculus store and on Steam, according to BHaptics. The gear looks like a cross between the suits found in Pacific Rim and Ready Player One. While on the topic of haptics, if a suit isn't your style, Arcadeo has a haptic gaming chair that you can control with a mobile app. GT Throne is also bringing a sleek, interactive gaming chair that vibrates to audio. Immersion Corporation also has haptics tech to show off, and is looking to "revolutionize human-machine interface in a digital world." Some of Immersion's features for mobile gaming focus on AR and VR, in terms of making games more tactile, using filters and more. It should be noted, however, that many products on display at CES never actually come to market, so don't get too excited just yet. Expanding the senses In addition to vibrations and VR, sound plays a big part in making a game more immersive. Flexound is going to show off its Augmented Audio tech, which adds the sensation of touch to audio-visual listening experiences like music, games, television, movies and more. While it seems like Augmented Audio is focused on moviegoers, we could see it migrate into gaming chairs in the future.
New Jersey's 40th Legislative District is one of 40 districts that make up the map for the New Jersey Legislature. It covers the Bergen County municipalities of Allendale, Franklin Lakes, Ho-Ho-Kus, Midland Park, Ridgewood, Waldwick, and Wyckoff, the Essex County township of Cedar Grove, the Morris County municipalities of Riverdale and Pequannock Township, and the Passaic County municipalities of Little Falls, Pompton Lakes, Totowa, Wayne, and Woodland Park.
The staple foods were generally consumed around 11 o'clock, and consisted of bread, lettuce, cheese, fruits, nuts, and cold meat left over from the dinner the night before.[citation needed] The Roman poet Horace mentions another Roman favorite, the olive, in reference to his own diet, which he describes as very simple: "As for me, olives, endives, and smooth mallows provide sustenance." The family ate together, sitting on stools around a table. Fingers were used to eat solid foods and spoons were used for soups.[citation needed]
Your Questions Answered How Long Does Thawed Chicken Last in the Fridge? Question: I thawed some frozen chicken pieces for dinner tonight, but I’ve had a change in plans and I’d rather make them tomorrow. How long will the thawed chicken last in the fridge? Answer: If you thawed the chicken in the refrigerator, you don't have to cook it right away. Poultry that’s been defrosted in the fridge can be safely kept for an additional one to two days in the refrigerator before cooking, says the U. S. Department of Agriculture. You also can safely refreeze it within that same timeframe. On the other hand, if you thawed the chicken in the microwave or in cold water, the USDA advises that you cook it immediately. That’s because with either method, the chicken could have at least temporarily warmed up to a temperature higher than 40°F. At that point, harmful bacteria can begin to multiply rapidly and prompt cooking is required to destroy it. See Also: Do You Have to Thaw Frozen Chicken Before Cooking It?

How long is the pending on PayPal? Business & Finance Other - Business & Finance How long is the pending on Pay Pal? Someone sent me a payment on July 2nd, and the payment appeared on the 'Payments Received thing' on Paypal for me immediately. But it said Pending. How long does it take til that payment is cleared. Because it's been about 4 days. Somebody said it would usually take about 3 days at the most. But... show more Follow 5 answers Answers Relevance Rating Newest Oldest Best Answer: Becuase the payment is still showing "pending" the buyer used a bank account for the payment. A bank account only payment is sent as an e Check which has to go through the Automated Clearing House process. A US e Check takes 3-4 business days to clear, an international e Check takes 5-7 days to clear. Please keep in mind, these time frames are considering that they clear the sender's bank account on the first attempt. If it fails the sender's bank account, Pay Pal will make a second attempt to extract the funds, so in other words, possibly double the clearing time. You should be able to view the transaction details in your "History" page of your Pay Pal account and view the "expected clearing date" which is an estimated time as long as everything goes right the first time around. Bottom line is, DO NOT ship the product until the e Check clears. Hope this helps. Source (s):www.

The Thin Man (film) The film's screenplay was written by Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, a married couple. In 1934, the film was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Picture. The titular "Thin Man" is not Nick Charles, but the man Charles is initially hired to find â€“ Clyde Wynant (part way through the film, Charles describes Wynant as a "thin man with white hair"). The "Thin Man" moniker was thought by many viewers to refer to Nick Charles and, after a time, it was used in the titles of sequels as if referring to Charles.

Table (database) In terms of the relational model of databases, a table can be considered a convenient representation of a relation, but the two are not strictly equivalent. For instance, an SQL table can potentially contain duplicate rows, whereas a true relation cannot contain duplicate tuples. Similarly, representation as a table implies a particular ordering to the rows and columns, whereas a relation is explicitly unordered. However, the database system does not guarantee any ordering of the rows unless an ORDER BY clause is specified in the SELECT statement that queries the table.
For air dielectric capacitors the breakdown field strength is of the order 2 to 5 MV/m; for mica the breakdown is 100 to 300 MV/m; for oil, 15 to 25 MV/m; it can be much less when other materials are used for the dielectric. The dielectric is used in very thin layers and so absolute breakdown voltage of capacitors is limited. Typical ratings for capacitors used for general electronics applications range from a few volts to 1 kV. As the voltage increases, the dielectric must be thicker, making high-voltage capacitors larger per capacitance than those rated for lower voltages. The breakdown voltage is critically affected by factors such as the geometry of the capacitor conductive parts; sharp edges or points increase the electric field strength at that point and can lead to a local breakdown. Once this starts to happen, the breakdown quickly tracks through the dielectric until it reaches the opposite plate, leaving carbon behind and causing a short (or relatively low resistance) circuit. The results can be explosive as the short in the capacitor draws current from the surrounding circuitry and dissipates the energy.
List of human deities in Dungeons & Dragons Ed Greenwood created Chauntea for his home Dungeons & Dragons game, loosely inspired by the Greek deity Demeter. Chauntea first appeared within Dungeons & Dragons as one of the deities featured in Ed Greenwood's article "Down-to-earth Divinity" in "Dragon" #54 (October 1981). Chauntea is introduced as the Great Mother, goddess of agriculture, a neutral good greater goddess from the plane of Elysium. Chauntea's alliances among the gods are detailed: "Chauntea and Lathander work together, and often do so in alliance with Silvanus and his gods ... against The Gods of Fury." Chauntea is commonly worshipped by neutral good thieves and clerics, and characters working as farmers. Chauntea later officially appeared as one of the major deities for the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, in the "Forgotten Realms Campaign Sets "Cyclopedia of the Realms" booklet (1987). Chauntea was described in the hardback "Forgotten Realms Adventures" (1990), the revised "Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting" (1993) in the "Running the Realms" booklet, and "Faiths & Avatars" (1996). Her clergy was further detailed in "Warriors and Priests of the Realms" (1996), and "Prayers from the Faithful" (1997). Her role in the cosmology of the Planescape campaign setting was described in "On Hallowed Ground" (1996). Chantea is introduced as once having been known as Jannath"' in the ancient history of the Realms, in "Netheril: Empire of Magic" (1996). Her relationships with the nonhuman deities in the Forgotten Realms was covered in "Demihuman Deities" (1998). Chauntea is described as one of the good deities that celestials can serve in the supplement "Warriors of Heaven" (1999). Chauntea appears as one of the major deities of the Forgotten Realms setting again, in "Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting" (2001), and is further detailed in "Faiths and Pantheons" (2002). Chauntea is described in both the "Forgotten Realms Campaign Guide" and the "Forgotten Realms Player's Guide" for fourth edition. Her portfolio and commandments are similar to those given in previous editions.

第七章恒定电流实验七测定金属的电阻率 [基础梳理] 一、实验目的 1.掌握螺旋测微器的原理及读数方法. 2.掌握电流表、电压表和滑动变阻器的使用方法及电流表和电压表的读数方法. 3.会用伏安法测电阻,并能测定金属的电阻率. 二、实验原理 1.把金属丝接入电路中,用伏安法测金属丝的 U 电阻 R(R= ).电路原理图如图所示. I 2.用毫米刻度尺量得金属丝接人电路的长度 l, 用螺旋测微器量得金属丝的直径,算出横截面积 S. l 3.利用电阻定律 R=ρ ,得金属丝电阻率 ρ= S RS . l 三、实验器材毫米刻度尺、螺旋测微器、直流电流表和直流电压表、滑动变阻器 ( 阻值范围 0 ~50 Ω)、电池组、开关、被测金属丝、导线若干. 四、实验步骤 1.直径测定:用螺旋测微器在被测金属丝上的三个不同位置各测一次直径,求出其平均值 d,计算出金属丝的横截面 πd2 积 S= . 4 2.电路连接:按如图所示的电路原理图连接好用伏安法测电阻的实验电路. 3.长度测量:用毫米刻度尺测量接入电路中的被测金属丝的有效长度,反复测量3次,求出其平均值l. 4.U、I测量:把滑动变阻器的滑片调节到使接入电路中的电阻值最大的位置,电路经检查确认无误后,闭合开关S,改变滑动变阻器滑片的位置,读出几组相应的电流表、电压表的示数I和U的值,记入表格内,断开开关S. U I Rx 5.拆除实验线路,整理好实验器材. 五、注意事项 1.测量被测金属导线的有效长度,是指测量待测导线接入电路的两个端点之间的长度,亦即电压表并入的待测导线长度,测量时应将导线拉直.为了准确,应在金属丝连入电路前测其直径并求平均值,应测量拉直悬空的连入电路的金属丝的有效长度,且测三次,取平均值. 2.本实验中被测金属导线的电阻值较小,因此实验电路必须采用电流表外接法. (1)使用前若指针未对准零刻度线,应进行零点调整(机械调零). (2)选择合适的量程:使得测量时指针偏转角度要尽可能 1 大,一般要求超过量程的 ,但又不能超过量程. 3 (3)电流表应串联在被测电路中,电压表应并联在被测电路两端.电流“+”“-”接线柱不能接反. 3.实验连线时,应先从电源的正极出发,依次将电源、电键、电流表、待测金属导线、滑动变阻器连成主干线路 ( 闭合电路),然后再把电压表并联在待测金属导线的两端. 4. 闭合电键 S 之前,一定要使滑动变阻器的滑动片处在有效电阻值最大的位置. 5. 在用伏安法测电阻时,通过待测导线的电流 I 的值不宜过大(电流表用0~0.6 A量程),通电时间不宜过长,以免金属导线的温度明显升高,造成其电阻率在实验过程中逐渐增大.为准确求出R平均值,应采用U-I图象法求电阻. 6. 对螺旋测微器读数时,毫米的整数部分由固定刻度读出,并且注意半毫米刻度线是否露出. 六、误差分析 [方法规律] 一、游标卡尺,螺旋测微器的使用和读数 1.游标卡尺 (1)构造:主尺,游标尺(主尺和游标尺上各有一个内、外测量爪),游标尺上还有一个深度尺(如图所示). (2)原理:利用主尺的最小分度与游标尺的最小分度的差值制成.不管游标尺上有多少个小等分刻度,它的刻度部分的总长度比主尺上的同样多的小等分刻度少1 mm.常见的游标卡尺的游标尺上小等分刻度有10格的、20格的、50格的,其读数见下表: 刻度格数(分度) 10 20 刻度总长度 9 mm 19 mm 每小格与1 mm的差值 0.1 mm 0.05 mm 精确度(可准确到) 0.1 mm 0.05 mm 50 49 mm 0.02 mm 0.02 mm (3)读数:若用 x 表示从主尺上读出的整毫米数,K 表示从游标尺上读出与主尺上某一刻线对齐的游标的格数,则记录结果表示为 (x+ K×精确度 )mm,需要注意的是,不管是哪种卡尺,K 值均不需要向后估读一位. (4)游标卡尺的读数应注意以下几点 ①看清精确度例如(图甲) 正确的应为 11.4 mm,游标卡尺不需估读,后面不能随意加零或去零易错成 11+4×0.1 mm=11.40 mm 例如(图乙) 易错成 10+12×0.05 mm=10.6 mm,正确的应为 10.60 mm ②主尺上的单位应为厘米主尺上标识的 1、2、3 等数字通常是指厘米,读数时应将毫米和厘米分清,游标卡尺主尺上的最小刻度是 1 mm. 例如(图丙) 易错成(5+4×0.05) mm =5.20 mm 正确的应为(50+4×0.05) mm=50.20 mm ③区分零刻度与标尺最前端例如(图丁) 易错成 13+10×0.05 mm=13.50 mm 正确读数为 14+10×0.05 mm=14.50 mm 2.螺旋测微器 (1)构造:如图,S为固定刻度,H为可动刻度. (2)原理:可动刻度 H 上的刻度为 50 等份,则螺旋测微器的精确度为 0.01 mm. (3)读数 ①测量时被测物体长度的半毫米数由固定刻度读出,不足半毫米部分由可动刻度读出. ②测量值(mm)=固定刻度数(mm)(注意半毫米刻度线是否露出)+可动刻度数(估读一位)×0.01(mm) 二、数据处理 1.在求 R 的平均值时可用两种方法 U (1)第一种是用 R= 算出各次的数值,再取平均值; I (2)第二种是用 U-I 图线的斜率求出. 2.计算电阻率:将记录的数据 R、l、d 的值,代入电阻率 S πd2U 计算公式 ρ=R = . l 4lI 考向一仪器、仪表的使用及读数典例1 (1)如图1所示的三把游标卡尺,它们的游标尺的 mm长10等分、19 mm长20等分、49 刻度从上至下分别为9 mm长50等分,它们的读数依次为__________mm, ________mm,________mm.

(2)固定刻度示数为 2.0 mm,不足半毫米的从可动刻度上读,其示数为 15.0,最后的读数:2.0 mm+ 15.0×0.01 mm= 2.150 mm.

One of the central problems in the anthropology of art concerns the universality of 'art' as a cultural phenomenon. Several anthropologists have noted that the Western categories of 'painting', 'sculpture', or 'literature', conceived as independent artistic activities, do not exist, or exist in a significantly different form, in most non-Western contexts. To surmount this difficulty, anthropologists of art have focused on formal features in objects which, without exclusively being 'artistic', have certain evident 'aesthetic' qualities. Boas' Primitive Art, Claude Lévi-Strauss' The Way of the Masks (1982) or Geertz's 'Art as Cultural System' (1983) are some examples in this trend to transform the anthropology of 'art' into an anthropology of culturally specific 'aesthetics'.

Rufinus relates a story that as Bishop Alexander stood by a window, he watched boys playing on the seashore below, imitating the ritual of Christian baptism. He sent for the children and discovered that one of the boys (Athanasius) had acted as bishop. After questioning Athanasius, Bishop Alexander informed him that the baptisms were genuine, as both the form and matter of the sacrament had been performed through the recitation of the correct words and the administration of water, and that he must not continue to do this as those baptized had not been properly catechized. He invited Athanasius and his playfellows to prepare for clerical careers.
Human skin color The genetic mechanism behind human skin color is mainly regulated by the enzyme tyrosinase, which creates the color of the skin, eyes, and hair shades.[11][12] Differences in skin color are also attributed to differences in size and distribution of melanosomes in the skin.[7] Melanocytes produce two types of melanin. The most common form of biological melanin is eumelanin, a brown-black polymer of dihydroxyindole carboxylic acids, and their reduced forms. Most are derived from the amino acid tyrosine. Eumelanin is found in hair, areola, and skin, and the hair colors gray, black, blond, and brown. In humans, it is more abundant in people with dark skin. Pheomelanin, a pink to red hue is found in particularly large quantities in red hair,[13] the lips, nipples, glans of the penis, and vagina.[14]
Peptide From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedianavigation search"Peptides" redirects here. For the journal, see Peptides (journal). A tetrapeptide (example Val - Gly - Ser - Ala) with green marked amino end ( L-Valine) and blue marked carboxyl end ( L-Alanine ). Peptides (from Gr. : πεπτός, peptós "digested"; derived from πέσσειν, péssein "to digest") are short chains of amino acid monomers linked by peptide ( amide) bonds. The covalent chemical bonds are formed when the carboxyl group of one amino acid reacts with the amino group of another. The shortest peptides are dipeptides, consisting of 2 amino acids joined by a single peptide bond, followed by tripeptides, tetrapeptides, etc. A polypeptide is a long, continuous, and unbranched peptide chain. Hence, peptides fall under the broad chemical classes of biological oligomers and polymers, alongside nucleic acids, oligosaccharides and polysaccharides, etc. Peptides are distinguished from proteins on the basis of size, and as an arbitrary benchmark can be understood to contain approximately 50 or fewer amino acids. [1] [2] Proteins consist of one or more polypeptides arranged in a biologically functional way, often bound to ligands such as coenzymes and cofactors, or to another protein or other macromolecule ( DNA, RNA, etc. ), or to complex macromolecular assemblies. [3] Finally, while aspects of the lab techniques applied to peptides versus polypeptides and proteins differ (e.g., the specifics of electrophoresis, chromatography, etc. ), the size boundaries that distinguish peptides from polypeptides and proteins are not absolute: long peptides such as amyloid beta have been referred to as proteins, and smaller proteins like insulin have been considered peptides. Amino acids that have been incorporated into peptides are termed "residues" due to the release of either a hydrogen ion from the amine end or a hydroxyl ion from the carboxyl end, or both, as a water molecule is released during formation of each amide bond. [4] All peptides except cyclic peptides have an N-terminal and C-terminal residue at the end of the peptide (as shown for the tetrapeptide in the image).

[5]Ribosomal peptides Ribosomal peptides are synthesized by translation of m RNA. They are often subjected to proteolysis to generate the mature form. These function, typically in higher organisms, as hormones and signaling molecules. Some organisms produce peptides as antibiotics, such as microcins. [6] Since they are translated, the amino acid residues involved are restricted to those utilized by the ribosome. However, these peptides frequently have posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation, hydroxylation, sulfonation, palmitoylation, glycosylation and disulfide formation. In general, they are linear, although lariat structures have been observed. [7] More exotic manipulations do occur, such as racemization of L-amino acids to D-amino acids in platypus venom. [8]Nonribosomal peptides Nonribosomal peptides are assembled by enzymes that are specific to each peptide, rather than by the ribosome. The most common non-ribosomal peptide is glutathione, which is a component of the antioxidant defenses of most aerobic organisms. [9] Other nonribosomal peptides are most common in unicellular organisms, plants, and fungi and are synthesized by modular enzyme complexes called nonribosomal peptide synthetases. [10]These complexes are often laid out in a similar fashion, and they can contain many different modules to perform a diverse set of chemical manipulations on the developing product. [11] These peptides are often cyclic and can have highly complex cyclic structures, although linear nonribosomal peptides are also common. Since the system is closely related to the machinery for building fatty acids and polyketides, hybrid compounds are often found. The presence of oxazoles or thiazoles often indicates that the compound was synthesized in this fashion. [12]Peptones See also: Tryptone Peptones are derived from animal milk or meat digested by proteolysis. [13] In addition to containing small peptides, the resulting material includes fats, metals, salts, vitamins and many other biological compounds. Peptones are used in nutrient media for growing bacteria and fungi. [14]Peptide fragments Peptide fragments refer to fragments of proteins that are used to identify or quantify the source protein. [15] Often these are the products of enzymatic degradation performed in the laboratory on a controlled sample, but can also be forensic or paleontological samples that have been degraded by natural effects. [16] [17]Peptide synthesis [ edit]Main article: Peptide synthesis Solid-phase peptide synthesis on a rink amide resin using Fmoc -α- amine -protected amino acid Peptides in molecular biology [ edit]Peptides received prominence in molecular biology for several reasons. The first is that peptides allow the creation of peptide antibodies in animals without the need of purifying the protein of interest. [18] This involves synthesizing antigenic peptides of sections of the protein of interest. These will then be used to make antibodies in a rabbit or mouse against the protein. Another reason is that peptides have become instrumental in mass spectrometry, allowing the identification of proteins of interest based on peptide masses and sequence. Peptides have recently been used in the study of protein structure and function. For example, synthetic peptides can be used as probes to see where protein-peptide interactions occur- see the page on Protein tags. Inhibitory peptides are also used in clinical research to examine the effects of peptides on the inhibition of cancer proteins and other diseases. [19] For example, one of the most promising application is through peptides that target LHRH. [20] These particular peptides act as an agonist, meaning that they bind to a cell in a way that regulates LHRH receptors. The process of inhibiting the cell receptors suggests that peptides could be beneficial in treating prostate cancer. However, additional investigations and experiments are required before the cancer-fighting attributes, exhibited by peptides, can be considered definitive. [21]Well-known peptide families [ edit]The peptide families in this section are ribosomal peptides, usually with hormonal activity. All of these peptides are synthesized by cells as longer "propeptides" or "proproteins" and truncated prior to exiting the cell. They are released into the bloodstream where they perform their signaling functions.

Notes on terminology [ edit]Length: A polypeptide is a single linear chain of many amino acids, held together by amide bonds. A protein consists of one or more polypeptides (more than about 50 amino acids long). An oligopeptide consists of only a few amino acids (between two and twenty). A tripeptide (example Val - Gly - Ala) with green marked amino end ( L-Valine) and blue marked carboxyl end ( L-Alanine)Number of amino acids: A monopeptide has one amino acid. A dipeptide has two amino acids. A tripeptide has three amino acids. A tetrapeptide has four amino acids. A pentapeptide has five amino acids. A hexapeptide has six amino acids. A heptapeptide has seven amino acids. An octapeptide has eight amino acids (e.g., angiotensin II ). A nonapeptide has nine amino acids (e.g., oxytocin ). A decapeptide has ten amino acids (e.g., gonadotropin-releasing hormone & angiotensin I ). An undecapeptide (or monodecapeptide) has eleven amino acids, a dodecapeptide (or didecapeptide) has twelve amino acids, a tridecapeptide has thirteen amino acids, and so forth. An icosapeptide has twenty amino acids, a tricontapeptide has thirty amino acids, a tetracontapeptide has forty amino acids, and so forth. See also: IUPAC numerical multiplier Function: A neuropeptide is a peptide that is active in association with neural tissue. A lipopeptide is a peptide that has a lipid connected to it, and pepducins are lipopeptides that interact with GPCRs. A peptide hormone is a peptide that acts as a hormone. A proteose is a mixture of peptides produced by the hydrolysis of proteins. The term is somewhat archaic. A peptidergic agent (or drug) is a chemical which functions to directly modulate the peptide systems in the body or brain. An example is opioidergics, which are neuropeptidergics. Doping in sports [ edit]The term peptide has been used to mean secretagogue peptides and peptide hormones in sports doping matters: secretagogue peptides are classified as Schedule 2 (S2) prohibited substances on the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) Prohibited List, and are therefore prohibited for use by professional athletes both in and out of competition. Such secretagogue peptides have been on the WADA prohibited substances list since at least 2008. The Australian Crime Commission cited the alleged misuse of secretagogue peptides in Australian sport including growth hormone releasing peptides CJC-1295, GHRP-6, and GHSR (gene) hexarelin. There is ongoing controversy on the legality of using secretagogue peptides in sports.

TREATMENT for a boy battling cancer for a third time is “going to plan”, says his mother. Charlie Ilsley, 12, of Buckingham Drive, Emmer Green, returned home from Cologne on Monday after a second round of dendritic immunotherapy. The procedure should programme his body to identify and fight the cancer cells. He then had another round of chemotherapy on Tuesday. Charlie’s mother Toni said: “I spoke to the German doctor who thought treatment was going to plan as Charlie’s tumour markers in his blood are coming down.” She said that between treatments, her son enjoying going to see the new Star Wars film, The Rise of Skywalker. Charlie has been fighting cancer since 2015 and has twice been given the all-clear following treatment only for the disease to return in November.
