Some plants may be more resistant to absorbing it. Leaves with a waxy or hairy covering may absorb less of the solution and suffer less damage. Some plants may die above ground, but send up new growth from the root. This means that you will not get 100% control using vinegar as a home made weed killer.

Your Ultimate MLA Format Guide & Generator Your Ultimate MLA Format Guide & Generator What is MLA? MLA stands for the Modern Language Association, which is an organization that focuses on language and literature. Depending on which subject area your class or research focuses on, your professor may ask you to cite your sources in MLA format. This is a specific way to cite, following the Modern Language Association’s guidelines. There are other styles, such as APA format and Chicago, but this citation style is often used for literature, language, liberal arts, and other humanities subjects. What is Citing? The Modern Language Association's Handbook is in its 8th edition and standardizes the way scholars document their sources and format their papers. When everyone documents their sources and papers in the same way, it is simple to recognize and understand the types of sources that were used for a project. Readers of your work will not only look at your citations to understand them, but to possibly explore them as well. When you’re borrowing information from a source and placing it in your research or assignment, it is important to give credit to the original author. This is done by creating a citation. Depending on the type of information you’re including in your work, some citations are placed in the body of your project, and all are included in a “Works Cited” list, at the end of your project. The handbook explains how to create citations. This page summarizes the information in the handbook, 8th edition. There is also a section below on a recommended way to create a header. These headers appear at the top of your assignment. Check with your instructor if they prefer a certain MLA format heading. What is MLA Format? The 8th edition is the most recent and updated version of MLA citations. Released in April of 2016, this citation format is much different than previous versions. The biggest difference and most exciting update is the use of one standard format for all source types. In previous versions, scholars were required to locate the citation format for the specific source that they used. There were different formats for books, websites, periodicals, and so on. Now, using one universal MLA citation format allows scholars to spend less time trying to locate the proper format to document their sources and focus more on their research. Other updates include the addition of “containers.” A container is essentially what a source sits in. Chapters are found in a book, songs are found in an album, and journal articles are found in journals. What the source is found in is its container. URLs are now encouraged to be added into citations (remove http:// and https:// when including URLs), social media pseudonyms and usernames can replace the real name of the author, volume and issue numbers are now abbreviated as vol. and no., and cities of publication and the source’s medium (such as print or web) are no longer included in citations. Citing Basics When adding information into your project from another source, you are required to add an MLA citation. There are two types of MLA format citations: in-text citations and full citations. In-Text Citations: When using a direct quote or paraphrasing information from a source, add an in-text citation into the body of your work. Direct quotes are word-for-word quotes that are pulled from a source and added into your project. A paraphrase is taking a section of information from a source and placing it in your own words. Both direct quotes and paraphrases require in-text, or parenthetical citations, to follow it. Format your in-text citation as follows:“Direct quote” or Paraphrase (Author’s last name and page number)*See the section below on in-text citations for further clarification and instructions. Full Citations: All sources used for a project are found on the Works Cited list, which is generally the last item in a project. MLA Citing Format often includes the following pieces of information, in this order: Author’s Last name, First name. “Title of Source.” Title of Container, other contributors, version, numbers, publisher, publication date, location. Don’t forget, Bib Me’s MLA citation generator is an MLA formatter that helps you create your citations quickly and easily!Citation Components Authors: The author is generally the first item in a citation (unless the source does not have an author). The author’s name is followed by a period. If the source has one author, place the last name first, add a comma, and then the first name. Examples: Lee, Harper. Fitzgerald, F. Scott. If your source has two authors, place them in the same order they’re shown on the source. The first author is in reverse order, add a comma and the word "and", then place the second author in standard form. Follow their names with a period. Example: Monsen, Avery, and Jory John. For three or more authors, only include the first listed author’s name. Place the first author in reverse order, place a comma afterwards, and then add the Latin phrase, et al. Example: Borokhovic, Kenneth A., et al. For social media posts, it’s acceptable to use a screen name or username in place of the author’s name. Start the citation with the user’s handle. Example:@The Onion. “Experts Warn Number of Retirees Will Completely Overwhelm Scenic Railway Industry by 2030.” Twitter, 9 Oct. 2017, 9:50 a.m., twitter.com/The Onion/status/917386689500340225. No author listed? If there isn’t an author, start the citation with the title and skip the author section completely. Citations do not need to always start with the name of the author. When your research focuses on a specific individual that is someone other than the author, it is appropriate for readers to see that individual’s name at the beginning of the citation. Directors, actors, translators, editors, and illustrators are common individuals to have at the beginning. Again, only include their name in place of the author if your research focuses on that specific individual. To include someone other than the author at the beginning of the citation, place their name in reverse order, add a comma afterwards, and then the role of that individual followed by a comma. Examples: Fimmel, Travis, performer. Vikings. Created by Michael Hirst, History Channel, 2013-2016. Gage, John T., editor. The Promise of Reason: Studies in the New Rhetoric. SIU Press, 2011. Titles and Containers Titles follow the name of the author and are written in title capitalization form. If you’re citing a source in its entirety, such as a full book, a movie, or a music album, then place the title in italics. Examples: Franzen, Jonathan. The Corrections. Farrar, Straus, and Giroux, 2001. Rufus Du Sol. Bloom. Sweat It Out! 2016. If you’re citing a source, such as a chapter in a book, a song on an album, or an article in a journal or website, then place the title of the piece in quotations and add a period afterwards. Follow it with the title of the full source, in italics, and then add a comma. This second portion is called the container. Containers hold the sources. MLA formatting example with containers: Vance, Erik, and Erika Larsen. “Mind Over Matter.” National Geographic Magazine, Dec. 2016, pp. 30-55. Beyonce. “Single Ladies (Put a Ring on It).” I am... Sasha Fierce, Sony, 2008, track 2. Wondering what to do with subtitles? Place a colon in between the title and subtitle. Both parts are written in title capitalization form. Example: Nasar, Sylvia. A Beautiful Mind: The Life of Mathematical Genius and Nobel Laureate John Nash. Simon and Schuster, 2001. If the source does not have a title, give a brief description and do not use quotation marks or italics. Example: Israel, Aaron. Brooklyn rooftop acrylic painting. 2012, 12 W 9th Street, New York City. When citing a tweet, the full text of the tweet is placed where the title sits. Example:@LOCMaps. “#DYK the first public zoo to open in the US was the #Philadelphia Zoo? #50States.” Twitter, 9 Feb. 2017, 3:14 p.m., twitter.com/LOCMaps/status/829785441549185024. For email messages, the subject of the email is the title. Place this information in quotation marks. Example: Rabe, Leor. “Fwd: Japan Itinerary.” Received by Raphael Rabe, 11 Feb 2017. Citations with Two Containers: It is possible for a source to sit in a second, or larger container. A journal article sits in its first container, which is the journal itself, but it can also sit in a larger container, such as a database. A song can sit in its first container, which is the album it’s found on. Then it can sit in its next container, which could be Spotify or i Tunes. It is important to include the second container because the content on one container can be different than another container. Citing with two containers should be formatted like this: Author’s Last name, First name. “Title of Source.” Title of Container, other contributors, version, numbers, Publisher, publication date, location. Title of Second Container, Other contributors, version, number, Publisher, publication date, location. In most cases, for the second container, only the title of the second container and the location is needed. Why? In order for readers to locate the source themselves, they’ll most likely use the majority of the information found in the first part of the citation. Examples of Citations with 2 Containers: Sallis, James, et al. “Physical Education’s Role in Public Health: Steps Forward and Backward Over 20 Years and Hope for the Future.” Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, vol. 83, no. 2, Jun. 2012, pp. 125-135. Pro Quest, ezproxy.nypl.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com/docview/1023317255?accountid=35635. Baker, Martha. “Fashion: Isaac in Wonderland.” New York Magazine, vol. 24, no. 3, 21 Jan. 1991, pp. 50-54. Google Books, books.google.com/books?id=Puk CAAAAMBAJ&lpg=PP1&dq=magazine&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=magazine&f=false. Remember, Bib Me creates citations for you quickly and easily!Format for Other Contributors: In MLA citing, when there are other individuals (besides the author) who play a significant role in your research, include them in this section of the citation. Other contributors can also be added to help individuals locate the source themselves. You can add as many other contributors as you like. Start this part of the citation with the individual’s role, followed by the word "by". Notice that if other contributors are added after a period, capitalize the first letter in the individual’s role. If it follows a comma, the role should start with a lowercase letter. Examples: Gaitskill, Mary. “Twilight of the Superheroes.” The Scribner Anthology of Contemporary Short Fiction: 50 North American Stories Since 1970, edited by Lex Williford and Michael Martone, Simon and Schuster, 2012, pp. 228-238. The Incredibles. Directed by Brad Bird, produced by John Walker, Pixar, 2004. Gospodinov, Georgi. The Physics of Sorrow. Translated by Angela Rodel, Open Letter, 2015. Format for Versions: Sources can come in different versions. There are numerous bible versions, books can come in versions (such as numbered editions), even movies and songs can have special versions. When a source indicates that it is different than other versions, include this information in the citation. This will help readers locate the exact source that you used for your project. Examples: The Bible. Lexham English Version, Logos, 2011, lexhamenglishbible.com. Crank, J. The Mathematics of Diffusion. 2nd ed., Clarendon, 1979. Afrojack. “Take Over Control.” Beatport, performance by Eva Simons, extended version, 2011, www.beatport.com/track/take-over-control-feat-eva-simons-extended/1621534. MLA Formatting for Numbers: Any numbers related to a source that isn’t the publication date, page range, or version number should be placed in the numbers position of the citation. This includes volume and issue numbers for journal articles, volume or series numbers for books, comic book numbers, and television episode numbers, to name a few. When including volume and issue numbers, use the abbreviation vol. for volume and no. for number. Examples: Zhai, Xiaojuan, and Jingjing Wang. “Improving Relations Between Users and and Libraries: A Survey of Chinese Academic Libraries.” The Electronic Library, vol. 34, no. 4, 2016, pp. 597-616. Pro Quest Research Library, ezproxy.nypl.org/login?url=http://search.proquest.com.i.ezproxy.nypl.org/docview/1841764839?accountid=35635.“Chestnut.” Westworld, directed by Richard J. Lewis, season 1, episode 2, Warner Bros., 2016. Publishers: The production of the source is done by the publisher. The publisher is placed in the citation before the date of publication. Include the publisher for any source type except for websites when the name of the publisher is the same as the name of the website. It is also not necessary to include the name of publishers for newspapers, magazines, or journal articles, since the name of the publisher is generally insignificant. When sources have more than one publisher that share responsibility for the production of the source, place a slash between the names of the publishers. Use the abbreviation UP when the name of the publisher includes the words University Press. Example: Cambridge UPPublication Dates: When including the date that the source was published, display the amount of information that is found on the source, whether it’s the full date, the month and year, or just the year. In terms of display, it does not matter if the date is written in a specific order. Make sure to use the same format for all citations. Example:2 Nov. 2016 or Nov. 2, 2016When multiple dates are shown on the source, include the date that is most relevant to your work and research. Locations: The location refers to the place where the source can be found. This can be in the form of a URL, page number, disc number, or physical place. When MLA citing websites, include URLs. Remove the beginning of the web address as it is not necessary to include http:// or https://. If a DOI number is present, use it in place of a URL. For page numbers, use the abbreviation p. when only referring to one page, and pp. for a range of pages. Common Examples: Citations for Books: The basic entry for a book consists of the author’s name, the book title, the publisher, and the year published. Format: Author’s Last name, First name. Book Title. Publisher, Year published. Example: Shelley, Mary. Frankenstein. Lackington, Hughes, Harding, Mavor & Jones, 1818. The first author’s name should be reversed, with a comma being placed after the last name and a period after the first name (or any middle name). The name should not be abbreviated and should be written exactly as it appears on the title page. For a book written by two authors, list them in order as they appear on the title page. Only the first author’s name should be reversed, while the second author’s name is written in normal order. Separate author names by a comma, and place the word “and” before the second author’s name. Smith, John, and Bob Anderson. The Sample Book. Books For Us, 2017. For books with three or more authors, only include the first author, followed by a comma and the abbreviation “et al.”Campbell, Megan, et al. The Best Book. Books For Us, 2017. The full title of the book, including any subtitles, should be italicized and followed by a period. If the book has a subtitle, the main title should be followed by a colon (unless the main title ends with a question mark or exclamation point). The publication information can generally be found on the title page of the book. If it is not available there, it may also be found on the copyright page. State the name of the publisher. If you are citing a specific page range from the book, include the page (s) at the end of the citation. Smith, John, and Bob Anderson. The Sample Book. Books For Us, 2017, pp. 5-12. When a book has no edition number/name present, it is generally a first edition. If you have to cite a specific edition of a book later than the first, see the section below on citing edited books. Citations for E-Books: Format: Author’s Last name, First name. Title of E-Book. Publisher, Year published. Title of Website, URL. Example: Rodgers, Tara. Pink Noises: Women on Electronic Music and Sound. Duke UP, 2010. Google Books, books.google.com/books?id=syq Tarq O5XEC&lpg=PP1&dq=electronic%20music&pg=PP1#v=onepage&q=electronic%20music&f=false. Citations for Edited Books: If your book is an edition later than the first, you should note this in the citation. If the book is a revised edition or an edition that includes substantial new content, include the number, name, or year of the edition and the abbreviation “ed.” after the book title. “Revised edition” should be abbreviated as “revised ed.” and “Abridged edition” should be “abridged ed.” The edition can usually be found on the title page, as well as on the copyright page, along with the edition’s date. Format: Author’s Last name, First name, editor. Title of Book. Numbered ed., Publisher, Year published. Examples: Ferraro, Gary, and Susan Andreatta, editors.

For pages with three or more authors, only include the first author, followed by the abbreviation “et al.”If the article was written by a news service or an organization, include it in the author position. If no author is available, begin the citation with the page title. The page title should be placed within quotation marks. Place a period after the page title within the quotation marks. The page title is followed by the name of the website, which is italicized, followed by a comma. Include the sponsoring institution or publisher, along with a comma, after the website title. The sponsoring institution/publisher can usually be found at the bottom of the website in the footer. If the name of the publisher is the same as the name as the website, do not include the publisher information in your citation. Next, state the publication date of the page.

The first author’s name should be reversed, with a comma placed after the last name and a period after the first name (or any middle name). The name should not be abbreviated and should be written exactly as it appears in the magazine. For an article written by two or more authors, list them in the order as they appear on the title page. Only the first author’s name should be reversed, while the others are written in normal order. Separate author names by a comma, and place the word “and” before the last author’s name. For articles with three or more authors, only include the first author, followed by the abbreviation “et al.”The full article title should be placed within quotations. Unless there is punctuation that ends the article title, place a period after the title within the quotations. Next, state the name of the magazine in italics. If volume and issue numbers are available, include them in the citation. Use the abbreviations vol. and no. before the volume number and issue number. Example: vol. 6, no. 1The date the magazine was published comes directly after the volume and issue number. Use whichever date the magazine includes, whether it’s a complete date, a period spanning two months, a season, or just a month and year. Follow this information with a comma. Include the page number (s) on which the article appears. Cite all inclusive page numbers – if the article spans pages that are not consecutive, cite only the first page, followed by a plus sign.

Jolie, Angelina. “Being a Mother.” Interview by Steve Kroft, 60 Minutes, CBS, 3 Feb. 2009. While names of other individuals are generally found after the title, for interviews, include the name of the interviewee directly after the title if you feel it is important to include their name. If there is no title, use the word “Interview” in place of a title and do not use quotation marks or italics. If the interviewer’s name is known, add it, preceded by “by”, after the word “Interview”. Do not reverse the interviewer’s name. Jenkins, Lila. Interview. By Jessica Grossman. 5 Mar. 2017.

History of the Texas Ranger Division However, the Texas Rangers were not formally constituted until 1835. Austin returned to Texas after having been imprisoned in Mexico City and helped organize a council to govern the group. On October 17, at a consultation of the Provisional Government of Texas, Daniel Parker proposed a resolution to establish the Texas Rangers. He proposed creating three companies that would total some 60 men and would be known by "uniforms" consisting of a light duster (clothing) and an identification badge made from a Mexican Peso. They were instituted by Texan lawmakers on November 24. On November 28, 1835 Robert McAlpin Williamson was chosen to be the first Major of the Texas Rangers. Within two years the Rangers grew to more than 300 men.

BBC SPORT | Rugby League | Laws & Equipment | How to score points How to score points There are four main ways to score in rugby league: Try - four points A try is worth four points - the maximum number of points you can score in one go in rugby league. It is scored when a player puts the ball on the ground with "downward pressure" (very important) inside the opposition's in-goal area between the try line and dead ball line. If a defender makes an offence while the opposition are about to score a try, then the referee can award a penalty kick in front of the posts after the conversion kick. This means the opposition can score eight points if they are successful in scoring the try, the goal kick and the penalty kick. But if the try was not scored because of the offence, the referee will award a penalty try in front of the posts, as well as the extra penalty kick. Goal kick - two points A team is awarded a goal kick after a try has been scored. The team has the chance to "convert" the kick at goal for two further points. The kick is taken from a point level with where the try was scored. The kick is successful if the ball goes between the opposition's goalposts and above the crossbar. Penalty - two points The referee will award a penalty when an offence has occurred. A player can punt, drop kick or take a place kick anywhere behind where the offence took place. They also have the choice of kicking for goal or for touch. A kick for goal is worth two points if successful. But to be successful, the ball has to go through the opposition's goalposts, above the crossbar. Two touch judges will raise their flags if the penalty is successfully kicked. If the team who gave away the penalty argue or commit further offences, the referee will punish them by taking the penalty 10 metres forward towards their goal-line. The team kicking also gets a new set of six tackles to play with. Play is re-started by placing the ball on the ground 10 metres into the field of play, parallel to where the ball went out to touch. Teams can kick in any direction even backwards if they want to find space for a set play. Drop goal - one point A drop goal can be a spectacular way of scoring. If successful it will add one point to a team's score. A drop goal is scored when a player kicks the ball from hand through the opposition's goal posts, above the crossbar. However, the ball must touch the ground between being dropped and kicked.

The European powers recognized the islands as part of the Spanish East Indies in 1874. However, Spain sold the islands to the German Empire in 1884, and they became part of German New Guinea in 1885. In World War I the Empire of Japan occupied the Marshall Islands, which in 1919 the League of Nations combined with other former German territories to form the South Pacific Mandate. In World War II, the United States conquered the islands in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, the Marshall Islands were then consolidated into the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands governed by the US. Self-government was achieved in 1979, and full sovereignty in 1986, under a Compact of Free Association with the United States. Marshall Islands has been a United Nations member state since 1991.

In May 2007, YouTube launched its Partner Program, a system based on AdSense which allows the uploader of the video to share the revenue produced by advertising on the site. YouTube typically takes 45 percent of the advertising revenue from videos in the Partner Program, with 55 percent going to the uploader. There are over a million members of the YouTube Partner Program. According to TubeMogul, in 2013 a pre-roll advertisement on YouTube (one that is shown before the video starts) cost advertisers on average $7.60 per 1000 views. Usually no more than half of eligible videos have a pre-roll advertisement, due to a lack of interested advertisers. Assuming pre-roll advertisements on half of videos, a YouTube partner would earn 0.5 X $7.60 X 55% = $2.09 per 1000 views in 2013.

Fryderyk's father, Nicolas Chopin, was a Frenchman from Lorraine who had emigrated to Poland in 1787 at the age of sixteen. Nicolas tutored children of the Polish aristocracy, and in 1806 married Justyna Krzyżanowska, a poor relative of the Skarbeks, one of the families for whom he worked. Fryderyk was baptized on Easter Sunday, 23 April 1810, in the same church where his parents had married, in Brochów. His eighteen-year-old godfather, for whom he was named, was Fryderyk Skarbek, a pupil of Nicolas Chopin. Fryderyk was the couple's second child and only son; he had an elder sister, Ludwika (1807–55), and two younger sisters, Izabela (1811–81) and Emilia (1812–27).

New Politics is an independent socialist journal founded in 1961 and still published in the United States today . While it is inclusive of articles from a variety of left-of-center positions , the publication leans strongly toward a Third camp , democratic Marxist perspective , placing it typically to the left of the liberal or social democratic views in the journal Dissent . Julius and Phyllis Jacobson were the founders and longtime co-editors of the journal , which had a political center of gravity reflective of their youthful formative experience in the Independent Socialist League of the 1940s and 1950s . During the Cold War , New Politics espoused the idea that socialism is indissoluble from democracy and freedom and argued strongly against totalitarian communist states and models of socialism as corruptions of and departures from the socialist ideal . The journal is perhaps best known for having published the seminal article by Hal Draper , `` The Two Souls of Socialism , '' in 1966 . It was also the first English-language publication to publish articles by the dissident Polish socialists Jacek Kuroń and Karol Modzelewski . The first series of New Politics ran from 1961 through 1976 , after which it ceased publication for a decade . The journal was restarted in 1986 and has been in print ever since , publishing two issues per year . The current co-editors are Saulo Colón , Dan La Botz , Nancy Holmstrom , Jason Schulman , and Julia Wrigley , and its editorial board members are Riad Azar , Sam Bottone , Barry Finger , Amber A'Lee Frost , Thomas Harrison , Michael Hirsch , Micah Landau , Joanne Landy , Amy Littlefield , Marvin Mandell , Scott McLemee , Stephen R.

1954 Academy Awards® Winners and History Supporting Actress: EVA MARIE SAINT in "On The Waterfront" , Nina Foch in "Executive Suite", Katy Jurado in "Broken Lance", Jan Sterling in "The High and the Mighty", Claire Trevor in "The High and the Mighty" Director: "On The Waterfront" , Alfred Hitchcock for "Rear Window" , George Seaton for "The Country Girl", William Wellman for "The High and the Mighty", Billy Wilder for "Sabrina" The Best Picture winner (of producer Sam Spiegel), director Elia Kazan's semi-documentary, expose, and thriller, On The Waterfront (with twelve nominations and eight wins) matched two other films with eight wins - but they each had thirteen nominations: From Here to Eternity (1953) The awards for the top winner this year included: Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Supporting Actress, Best Director, Best Story/Screenplay (Budd Schulberg), Best B/W Cinematography (Boris Kaufman), Best B/W Art/Set Direction, and Best Film Editing. The low-budget, black and white Best Picture was filmed entirely on location in Hoboken and told the gritty story of New York dock workers, brutality, corruption, and embroilment with a gangster union boss. It provided an expose of union racketeering while showcasing the murder of an innocent longshoreman. Kazan and screenwriter Budd Schulberg justified their own naming of names (blacklisting-testimony against alleged Communists) as friendly witnesses before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in the early 50s with the film's story of an heroic longshoreman informant Terry Malloy (Marlon Brando) who stood alone and turned witness against the corrupt and intimidating union bosses and became a marked 'pigeon'. The film marked a comeback for Brando, who hadn't won a Best Actor Oscar - yet. Losing to the Best Picture winner were these four films: director George Seaton's and Clifford Odets' backstage melodrama The Country Girl (with seven nominations and two wins - Best Actress and Best Screenplay) about the comeback attempt of an alcoholic singer Fox's light CinemaScope travelogue/romance by director Jean Negulesco about three women romantically involved with Italian men in Rome, Three Coins in the Fountain (with three nominations and two wins - Best Color Cinematography (for Milton Krasner) and Best Song, the title song "Three Coins in the Fountain" - remarkably defeating Judy Garland's "The Man That Got Away" in A Star Is Born ) another CinemaScope film and one of the best musical/dance films ever made by director Stanley Donen, MGM's Seven Brides for Seven Brothers (with five nominations and only one win - Best Musical Score) about seven fur-trapping brothers in the Oregon Territory who gradually find wives, starring Jane Powell and Howard Keel the courtroom drama about a naval mutiny based on Herman Wouk's novel, The Caine Mutiny (with seven nominations and no wins) from director Edward Dmytryk Elia Kazan, director of the dockside drama On The Waterfront won his second (and last) Oscar, defeating among others director Alfred Hitchcock, who was also nominated for Rear Window .

Victoria was the daughter of Prince Edward, Duke of Kent and Strathearn, the fourth son of King George III. Both the Duke of Kent and King George III died in 1820, and Victoria was raised under close supervision by her German-born mother Princess Victoria of Saxe-Coburg-Saalfeld. She inherited the throne aged 18, after her father's three elder brothers had all died, leaving no surviving legitimate children. The United Kingdom was already an established constitutional monarchy, in which the sovereign held relatively little direct political power. Privately, Victoria attempted to influence government policy and ministerial appointments; publicly, she became a national icon who was identified with strict standards of personal morality.

Call for Help, also known as CFH, is a computer-themed television program that first aired exclusively on TechTV (formerly "ZDTV"), a cable and satellite television network focused on technology, and then aired on G4techTV Canada and the HOW TO Channel in Australia. The final taped episode aired on February 26, 2007, but because the episodes were taped out of order, a number of other episodes taped during the same shooting week aired through April 6, 2007. A spin-off called "The Lab with Leo Laporte" aired much of the same content as "Call for Help" and ran on the same networks. "The Lab" was canceled about one year later due to low viewer ratings and the final episode aired in August 2008.

Although reaction towards its performance improvements, security enhancements, and improved support for touchscreen devices was positive, the new user interface of the operating system was widely criticized for being potentially confusing and difficult to learn (especially when used with a keyboard and mouse instead of a touchscreen). Despite these shortcomings, 60 million Windows 8 licenses have been sold through January 2013, a number which included both upgrades and sales to OEMs for new PCs.

The bandolim (Portuguese for "mandolin") was a favourite instrument within the Portuguese bourgeoisie of the 19th century, but its rapid spread took it to other places, joining other instruments. Today you can see mandolins as part of the traditional and folk culture of Portuguese singing groups and the majority of the mandolin scene in Portugal is in Madeira Island. Madeira has over 17 active mandolin Orchestras and Tunas. The mandolin virtuoso Fabio Machado is one of Portugal's most accomplished mandolin players.

Crown-rump length The embryo and fetus float in the amniotic fluid inside the uterus of the mother usually in a curved posture resembling the letter C. The measurement can actually vary slightly if the fetus is temporarily stretching (straightening) its body. The measurement needs to be in the natural state with an unstretched body which is actually C shaped. The measurement of CRL is useful in determining the gestational age (menstrual age starting from the first day of the last menstrual period) and thus the expected date of delivery (EDD). Different babies do grow at different rates and thus the gestational age is an approximation. Recent evidence has indicated that CRL growth (and thus the approximation of gestational age) may be influenced by maternal factors such as age, smoking, and folic acid intake. Early in pregnancy it is accurate within +/- 4 days but later in pregnancy due to different growth rates, the accuracy is less. In that situation, other parameters can be used in addition to CRL. The length of the umbilical cord is approximately equal to the CRL throughout pregnancy.

The advertised battery life on most models is different from the real-world achievable life. For example, the fifth generation 30 GB iPod is advertised as having up to 14 hours of music playback. An MP3.com report stated that this was virtually unachievable under real-life usage conditions, with a writer for MP3.com getting on average less than 8 hours from an iPod. In 2003, class action lawsuits were brought against Apple complaining that the battery charges lasted for shorter lengths of time than stated and that the battery degraded over time. The lawsuits were settled by offering individuals either US$50 store credit or a free battery replacement.

Despite occasional theoretical diversity, the actual practice of translation has hardly changed since antiquity. Except for some extreme metaphrasers in the early Christian period and the Middle Ages, and adapters in various periods (especially pre-Classical Rome, and the 18th century), translators have generally shown prudent flexibility in seeking equivalents — "literal" where possible, paraphrastic where necessary — for the original meaning and other crucial "values" (e.g., style, verse form, concordance with musical accompaniment or, in films, with speech articulatory movements) as determined from context.

Gallbladder In vertebrates, the gallbladder is a small hollow organ where bile is stored and concentrated before it is released into the small intestine. In humans, the pear-shaped gallbladder lies beneath the liver, although the structure and position of the gallbladder can vary significantly among animal species. It receives and stores bile, produced by the liver, via the common hepatic duct, and releases it via the common bile duct into the duodenum, where the bile helps in the digestion of fats.

Before going to Iberia, Napoleon decided to address several lingering issues with the Russians. At the Congress of Erfurt in October 1808, Napoleon hoped to keep Russia on his side during the upcoming struggle in Spain and during any potential conflict against Austria. The two sides reached an agreement, the Erfurt Convention, that called upon Britain to cease its war against France, that recognized the Russian conquest of Finland from Sweden, and that affirmed Russian support for France in a possible war against Austria "to the best of its ability." Napoleon then returned to France and prepared for war. The Grande Armée, under the Emperor's personal command, rapidly crossed the Ebro River in November 1808 and inflicted a series of crushing defeats against the Spanish forces. After clearing the last Spanish force guarding the capital at Somosierra, Napoleon entered Madrid on 4 December with 80,000 troops. He then unleashed his soldiers against Moore and the British forces. The British were swiftly driven to the coast, and they withdrew from Spain entirely after a last stand at the Battle of Corunna in January 1809.

The deliberate or accidental hybridising of two or more species of closely related animals through captive breeding is a human activity which has been in existence for millennia and has grown in recent times for economic purposes. The number of successful interspecific mammalian hybrids is relatively small, although it has come to be known that there is a significant number of naturally occurring hybrids between forms or regional varieties of a single species.[citation needed] These may form zones of gradation known as clines. Indeed, the distinction between some hitherto distinct species can become clouded once it can be shown that they may not only breed but produce fertile offspring. Some hybrid animals exhibit greater strength and resilience than either parent. This is known as hybrid vigor. The existence of the mule (donkey sire; horse dam) being used widely as a hardy draught animal throughout ancient and modern history is testament to this. Other well known examples are the lion/tiger hybrid, the liger, which is by far the largest big cat and sometimes used in circuses; and cattle hybrids such as between European and Indian domestic cattle or between domestic cattle and American bison, which are used in the meat industry and marketed as Beefalo. There is some speculation that the donkey itself may be the result of an ancient hybridisation between two wild ass species or sub-species. Hybrid animals are normally infertile partly because their parents usually have slightly different numbers of chromosomes, resulting in unpaired chromosomes in their cells, which prevents division of sex cells and the gonads from operating correctly, particularly in males. There are exceptions to this rule, especially if the speciation process was relatively recent or incomplete as is the case with many cattle and dog species. Normally behavior traits, natural hostility, natural ranges and breeding cycle differences maintain the separateness of closely related species and prevent natural hybridisation. However, the widespread disturbances to natural animal behaviours and range caused by human activity, cities, dumping grounds with food, agriculture, fencing, roads and so on do force animals together which would not normally breed. Clear examples exist between the various sub-species of grey wolf, coyote and domestic dog in North America. As many birds and mammals imprint on their mother and immediate family from infancy, a practice used by animal hybridizers is to foster a planned parent in a hybridization program with the same species as the one with which they are planned to mate.

The College Dropout was eventually issued by Roc-A-Fella in February 2004, shooting to number two on the Billboard 200 as his debut single, "Through the Wire" peaked at number fifteen on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for five weeks. "Slow Jamz", his second single featuring Twista and Jamie Foxx, became an even bigger success: it became the three musicians' first number one hit. The College Dropout received near-universal critical acclaim from contemporary music critics, was voted the top album of the year by two major music publications, and has consistently been ranked among the great hip-hop works and debut albums by artists. "Jesus Walks", the album's fourth single, perhaps exposed West to a wider audience; the song's subject matter concerns faith and Christianity. The song nevertheless reached the top 20 of the Billboard pop charts, despite industry executives' predictions that a song containing such blatant declarations of faith would never make it to radio. The College Dropout would eventually be certified triple platinum in the US, and garnered West 10 Grammy nominations, including Album of the Year, and Best Rap Album (which it received). During this period, West also founded GOOD Music, a record label and management company that would go on to house affiliate artists and producers, such as No I.D. and John Legend. At the time, the focal point of West's production style was the use of sped-up vocal samples from soul records. However, partly because of the acclaim of The College Dropout, such sampling had been much copied by others; with that overuse, and also because West felt he had become too dependent on the technique, he decided to find a new sound.

What is a Pressure Switch? Pressure switches are devices that are configured to sense a change in pressure and respond in a specified manner. They are utilized in many different environments, including manufacturing machinery and facilities, utility plants, and public buildings. In some designs, the pressure switch monitors and automatically responds to conditions, while other types require manual intervention. Generally, a pressure switch is included in any type of equipment that includes components that generate some type of pressure during operation. The pressure may relate to electrical current, the flow of natural gas or liquids, or the creation of steam. With each application, the switch will include components that monitor the amount of pressure generated. As long as the pressure remains within acceptable levels, the pressure switch serves as an easy way to monitor activity. However, most switches will sound some sort of alarm when the level of pressure begins to exceed what is considered a safe range. Designs for pressure switches vary, based on the type of action that is required. When manual intervention is desired, the pressure switch is often constructed as a toggle switch. This design allows for easy operation when an alarm sounds and there is a need to either activate a venting process or immediately shut down the machinery. For switches that are configured to work in conjunction with computer technology, a microswitch design is common. The micro switch receives commands from the computer program once a safety shutdown or a pressure release is determined to be the next logical step in the sequence. Since the inception of the pressure switch, the device has proven to be an ideal means of preventing a number of injuries that could result from an overload or explosion. Just about every piece of machinery that employs the use of compressors will include a pressure switch at key phases as part of the safety requirements for operation of the equipment. While automated switches have become more popular in recent years, manual pressure switches are still often installed as a backup that can be utilized in the event of an electrical failure. Ad

Pearl River Delta – Travel guide at Wikivoyage Prefectures of the PRD The region has eight prefectures named for their main cities which we list below. Guangzhou (or Canton) is the provincial capital and the economic and cultural center of the region. It is a few hours up the Pearl River, is thousands of years old and has been a trading city since the days of the Maritime Silk Road . Dongguan - center for the garment trade, between Guangzhou and Shenzhen. Foshan - industrial city near Guangzhou to the southwest that includes the Shunde district, which is famous for its many criss-crossing waterways. Huizhou - a pretty and rapidly-developing town on the Northeast edge of the region Jiangmen - port city in the western part of the Delta; the prefecture includes the county-level cities of Kaiping , Enping , Heshan and Taishan . Shenzhen - is on the mainland next to Hong Kong . It was basically a group of fishing villages until the late 1970s. Then it was made a Special Economic Zone and developed incredibly rapidly; today it is a boom town of around ten million. Zhongshan - center for furniture trade, just inland of Zhuhai. Zhuhai - is on the mainland next to Macau , also a fishing village turned SEZ, is home to about 1.5 million and is somewhat less rich and less brash than Shenzhen. Shenzhen and Zhuhai are Special Economic Zones (SEZs) where various government programs encourage investment. Other destinations[ edit ] Kaiping - A small town famous for its castle-like dwellings built by overseas Chinese in a mixture of western and eastern styles. Also the setting for the popular Chinese film "Let the Bullets Fly" 《让子弹飞》. Understand[ edit ] This region has always been one of China's major centers for foreign trade, from the days of the Maritime Silk Road through the era of tea clippers and into recent times. Guangdong province produces about a third of China's total exports; most of these are from the Delta. The region is often referred to as "the world's workshop." The largest product groups are clothing and electronics but the industrial base is extremely diverse and the range of products manufactured is enormous. In 1978, a small processing workshop making handbags for export to Hong Kong opened in Dongguan. This was the first export processing business in China. From then on, as Deng Xiaoping's "reform and opening up" policies went into effect the Delta underwent absolutely frenzied development, partly fueled by heavy Hong Kong, Taiwanese and foreign investment. There was also significant investment and massive migration from other parts of China. During these decades, GDP growth in industrialized countries was generally 0 to 4% a year. China managed 8 or 9% overall national growth every year for decades. The Delta was the fastest-growing region at around 15% a year! That is, GDP doubled every five years from sometime in the 80s until 2008. Shenzhen, the showcase city of the Pearl River Delta, likes to brag it is "the fastest growing city in the fastest growing region of the fastest growing province of the fastest growing country in the world." Part of the "opening up" was creating Special Economic Zones (SEZs) to encourage investment. Two of these — Shenzhen and Zhuhai — are in the Delta. Both have undergone phenomenal growth, from fishing villages in the 70s to bustling modern cities today. Shenzhen is now well over 10 million people, Zhuhai about two million. The Delta was hit hard by the world economic slowdown and the collapse in exports around 2008, but has mostly recovered. Costs[ edit ] The traveler on a really tight budget should get out of this area altogether and seek the real bargains in China's hinterland. The cost-is-no-object traveler can stay in Hong Kong, or go to up-market places in other cities, and have a wonderful time either way. Residents of Hong Kong or Macau routinely cross to Shenzhen or Zhuhai for cheaper shopping, services and entertainment; travellers can do the same. Talk[ edit ] The main language of the region is Cantonese . However Mandarin has been the language of education and government

Greek pizza. Greek pizza refers to a style of pizza crust and its preparation, rather than its toppings. This style is baked in a pan, instead of directly on the bricks of the pizza oven, (as is more traditional for Italian pizza). The pan used is a shallow pan, in contrast to the deep pans used in Chicago-style deep dish pizza. The pan is heavily oiled with olive oil. It has a crust that is usually chewy and puffy, almost like focaccia bread but not as thick.

Eddie's House was a doghouse designed by Frank Lloyd Wright for the Berger family of San Anselmo, California, to be used by their dog Eddie. Wright designed Eddie's House to be in keeping with the family's home, known as the Robert Berger House, which he had previously designed. The plans for the doghouse were completed by Wright in 1957, and the four square foot triangular house was built in 1963. In 1973 Eddie's House was removed and thrown away, but in 2010 Jim and Eric Berger, sons of Robert Berger, rebuilt Eddie's House from the original plans for a segment in "Romanza", a documentary film by Michael Miner about Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural works in California. The doghouse remains the smallest structure Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed.

Up to the 1990s, the Federal District was the most populous federal entity in Mexico, but since then its population has remained stable at around 8.7 million. The growth of the city has extended beyond the limits of the Federal District to 59 municipalities of the state of Mexico and 1 in the state of Hidalgo. With a population of approximately 19.8 million inhabitants (2008), it is one of the most populous conurbations in the world. Nonetheless, the annual rate of growth of the Metropolitan Area of Mexico City is much lower than that of other large urban agglomerations in Mexico, a phenomenon most likely attributable to the environmental policy of decentralization. The net migration rate of the Federal District from 1995 to 2000 was negative.

The Average Tax Rate Definition Related Articles1How to Understand Income Tax Brackets2Bonus vs. Payroll Tax3The Tax Benefits to Making a Payment Prior to the End of the Year4How to Understand Income Tax Brackets The average tax rate in the United States varies depending on the amount of income to which it's applied. An average tax rate as it applies to income tax may be defined as the percentage of income owed as taxes or, as Fair Tax defines the term, as the ratio of taxes paid to taxable income. In mathematical terms, divide the total tax liability by total taxable income to get the average tax rate. Average Federal Tax Rates In computing federal tax rates, the average tax rate can't be determined by using tax brackets based on gross income. The federal government allows either a standard or itemized deduction amount to be subtracted from gross income. In addition, a personal exemption for the taxpayer plus one exemption for each claimed dependent may be deducted from adjusted gross income prior to figuring taxable income. Therefore, in considering the average tax rate for filers with less than $100,000 in taxable income, a number of variables must be considered. Example of Single-Filer Tax Rates Filing status of a federal taxpayer has an immediate impact on the tax rate applied to taxable income. Consider a taxpayer, whose filing status is "Single," with a taxable income of $50,000. Per the 2010 Tax Table, the tax liability would have been $8,675, for an average tax rate of 17.35 percent. However, the taxpayer is permitted to claim a deduction on the income prior to figuring taxes. Suppose the taxpayer claimed the standard deduction of $5,700 in 2010 --- this immediately reduces taxable income to $44,300. Next, the taxpayer may claim one exemption of $3,650, reducing taxable income further to $40,650. Now taxes owed equals $6,350, for an average tax rate of 12.7 percent. Example of Married Tax Rates The average tax rate a married taxpayer with dependent children would pay on the same amount of gross income is significantly lower. If the taxpayer completes an income tax return under the status of "Married Filing Jointly," the tax liability immediately decreases to $6,659 as opposed to $8,675 for single filers based on the same $50,000 figure. If the standard deduction is taken, as well as two exemptions --- one for each of the two spouses filing jointly --- taxable income would be reduced to $31,300, which is calculated by starting with $50,000 in taxable income minus the $11,400 standard deduction for married filing jointly, minus $7,300 for exemptions. The average tax rate in this case would be 12.34 percent, because the tax liability for a married couple filing jointly on $31,300 of taxable income is $3,861. Simple Mathematics Although the average tax rates for both a single taxpayer and married taxpayers who file joint returns are roughly equal in these examples --- 12.7 percent and 12.34 percent --- the difference in actual dollars paid for federal tax obligations results from the reductions in gross income prior to taxation. If no deductions or exemptions were allowed, defining the average tax rate works with simple mathematics. An individual simply divides taxes owed by income. For example, if a taxpayer earns $50,000 in taxable income and pays $6,000 in taxes, the tax rate would be 12 percent, because the tax liability of $6,000 divided by taxable income of $50,000 equals 0.12, or 12 percent, the individual's average tax rate.

On 14 January 1858, an Italian refugee from Britain called Orsini attempted to assassinate Napoleon III with a bomb made in England. The ensuing diplomatic crisis destabilised the government, and Palmerston resigned. Derby was reinstated as prime minister. Victoria and Albert attended the opening of a new basin at the French military port of Cherbourg on 5 August 1858, in an attempt by Napoleon III to reassure Britain that his military preparations were directed elsewhere. On her return Victoria wrote to Derby reprimanding him for the poor state of the Royal Navy in comparison to the French one. Derby's ministry did not last long, and in June 1859 Victoria recalled Palmerston to office.

List of Friends characters Ursula Pamela Buffay (Lisa Kudrow): Phoebe's identical twin. Kudrow originated the role of Ursula in the sitcom Mad About You, playing her as an inept waitress at Riff's who frequently forgets orders.[m 1] Ursula is every bit as odd as Phoebe is, but, unlike her sister, Ursula is a selfish, amoral, abrasive, brazen, hedonistic, crude and unpleasant individual who is so self-absorbed and self-centered that she often forgets things, usually treats Phoebe with disdain and is not liked by anyone who truly knows her. Phoebe refers to Ursula as her "evil twin." She first appears in Friends in "The One with Two Parts":[e 31] Chandler and Joey are eating at Riff's and mistake Ursula for Phoebe. Joey becomes attracted to Ursula and they start dating. Ursula tells Phoebe that she is bored with Joey and sarcastically claims that he is smart enough to figure this out on his own without her having to actually tell him (implying his stupidity irritated her, hence her naturally nasty reaction), so Phoebe pretends to be her sister to let Joey down gently. In the same episode, Helen Hunt and Leila Kenzle cameo as their Mad About You characters Jamie Buchman and Fran Devanow, in a scene where they mistake Phoebe for Ursula in Central Perk. Ursula next appears briefly in "The One with the Jam",[e 47] where she is being stalked by a man (David Arquette) who mistakes Phoebe for her. Phoebe naively begins a relationship with the man in question, but ends it with him when he cannot get over his obsession with Ursula. In "The One with the Jellyfish"[e 48] Phoebe tells Ursula that she has met their birth mother (Teri Garr), but Ursula already knows about her. In "The One Where Chandler Can't Cry",[e 49] Phoebe starts getting unwanted attention from men, and discovers that Ursula is starring in pornographic films using Phoebe's name, including a film called "Buffay The Vampire Layer". Phoebe gets revenge by claiming Ursula's cheques and embarrassing her many male fans. Flashbacks in "The One Where They All Turn Thirty"[e 50] reveal that Ursula sold Phoebe's birth certificate to a Swedish runaway, and that both sisters are 31, not 30. In "The One with the Halloween Party",[e 51] Ursula introduces Phoebe to Eric (Sean Penn), her fiancé. Phoebe is horrified that Ursula has told Eric that she is a teacher, a member of the Peace Corps, a non-smoker, and attends a church group (all lies). The series finale of Mad About You, set 22 years into the future, reveals that after a successful porn career, Ursula becomes Governor of New York.[m 2]

Those who subscribe to this interpretation believe that since the Christian scriptures never counter instrumental language with any negative judgment on instruments, opposition to instruments instead comes from an interpretation of history. There is no written opposition to musical instruments in any setting in the first century and a half of Christian churches (33 AD to 180AD). The use of instruments for Christian worship during this period is also undocumented. Toward the end of the 2nd century, Christians began condemning the instruments themselves. Those who oppose instruments today believe these Church Fathers had a better understanding of God's desire for the church,[citation needed] but there are significant differences between the teachings of these Church Fathers and Christian opposition to instruments today.

After Morsi was ousted by the military, the judiciary system aligned itself with the new government, actively suopporting the repression of Muslim Brotherhood members. This resulted in a sharp increase in mass death sentences that arose criticism from the US president Barack Obama and the General Secretary of the UN, Ban Ki Moon. In April 2013, one judge of the Minya governatorate of Upper Egypt, sentenced 1,212 people to death. In December 2014 the judge Mohammed Nagi Shahata, notorious for his fierceness in passing on death sentences, condemened to the capital penalty 188 members of the Muslim Brotherhood, for assaulting a police station. Various Egyptian and international human rights organisations have already pointed out the lack of fair trials, that often last only a few minutes and do not take into consideration the procedural standards of fair trials.

At the age of 21 he settled in Paris. Thereafter, during the last 18 years of his life, he gave only some 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and teaching piano, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his musical contemporaries, including Robert Schumann. In 1835 he obtained French citizenship. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska, from 1837 to 1847 he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer George Sand. A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 1838–39 was one of his most productive periods of composition. In his last years, he was financially supported by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. Through most of his life, Chopin suffered from poor health. He died in Paris in 1849, probably of tuberculosis.

In 1899, the memorial, by the Berlin sculptor Ernst Gustav Herter (1846–1917), finally came to rest, although subject to repeated vandalism, in the Bronx, at 164th Street and the Grand Concourse, or Joyce Kilmer Park near today's Yankee Stadium. (In 1999, it was moved to 161st Street and the Concourse.) In 2007, Christopher Gray of The New York Times described it as "a writhing composition in white Tyrolean marble depicting Lorelei, the mythical German figure, surrounded by mermaids, dolphins and seashells."

batman - What is the Joker's real name? - Science Fiction & Fantasy Stack Exchange What is the Joker's real name? up vote 70 down vote favorite 4 Most villians who take on an alias do so to hide their real names or to show they have become the villian or whatnot. What about the Joker? I know he has a real name because he wasn't always the Joker, but is it ever revealed in any comics? 14 Actually, I DO know the answer, but if I told you he'd kill me. – Jeff Oct 14 '11 at 20:13 @Jeff Don't worry, it'd be kept secret... – user931 Apr 18 '14 at 9:37 5 Joseph "Joe" Kerr. – Oldcat Jul 2 '14 at 20:54 His real name is Riddler - it's a joke he has with the Riddler, whose real name is Joker ;) – Often Right Aug 12 '15 at 4:36 He has a multiple-choice past. (TV Tropes link. You are warned.) The above pictures show 3 of the histories the character has had, and they aren't even the tip of the iceberg. He certainly had a real name, but he's so far gone that I doubt he remembers it himself. Most tragically, in one issue of Justice League, the Martian Manhunter takes Batman's psyche to the one place that no one will ever think to look for him (they're being hunted by someone) - the deepest, darkest place in Joker's mind. In it is just one man, who is terrified and alone, not sure where he is or who he is. It's implied this is all that remains of Joker's sanity. +1 for a great link! – System Down Oct 14 '11 at 16:14 If I remember that particular comic, then these three are not mutually exclusive pasts he is showing us. In which case he has more of a "Mix-and-Match" past. – SteveED Feb 27 '12 at 22:53 30 stack exchange needs one of those landing pages for tvtropes link. "You are now leaving stack exchange and entering tvtropes. click [OK] to forfeit the remainder of your afternoon." – KutuluMike Jul 23 '12 at 14:52 2 Must not click on the link, must not click on the link, must not click on the link, must not click on the link... – user8719 Apr 19 '13 at 13:20 1 @Chronicle: TVTropes is a time-sucker for 99% of people. Once you enter, you lose hours. – Jeff Apr 18 '14 at 12:55 up vote 5 down vote As mentioned in the above answers, there's not a definitive answer. In the "A Death in the Family" storyline, there's a point where Batman scares The Joker into running by implying that he knows The Joker's real name, which he'll reveal, breaking the mystery. At the end of that storyline, it's revealed that Batman was bluffing and he still has no idea. The closes we've come to a canonical answer is in Batman: Legends of the Dark Knight issue #50 where a man, Melvin Reipan, is introduced as an idiot savant who actually invents Joker Venom. He addresses The Joker as "Cousin Ja—" before being cut off. Note that "Reipan" is "Napier" backwards and the form of address suggests that The Joker might have a first name of Jack. But, of course, Melvin dies partway through the issue, so the truth of the matter will likely never be known. DC claimed that The Joker's real identity will be revealed in issue #50 of DC's Justice League comic on May 25, leading from the revelation in issue #42 where Batman sat on the Mobius Chair where Batman himself learned the identity, but did not reveal it. The answer there was... not actually a direct answer . Instead, it told him that there were three Jokers, but did not give him names. up vote 1 down vote In the 1989 Batman Film, The Joker 's real name is shown to be Jack Napier. We know this because if you watch the first Batman movie , Batman has a file on Jack Napier because he sees the Joker on his way to where his parents died and recognises his face from when he accidentally let go of Joker in the chemical factory. The original screenplay explicitly refers to him by this name; JACK NAPIER : Decent people shouldn't live here. They'd be happier someplace else. JACK NAPIER is right-hand man and chief enforcer to BOSS CARL GRISSOM. As well as showing us a copy of his pre-Joker "mug shot"; 9 This answer only applies to the 1989 Batman film, the question asks about the Joker's identity

The Beatles in the United States In the United Kingdom, the Beatles had experienced popularity since the start of 1963. But in the United States, Capitol Records, owned by the band's record company EMI, had for most of the year declined to issue any of the singles.[5] The phenomenon of Beatlemania in the UK was regarded with amusement by the U.S. press, once it made any comment.[6] When newspaper and magazine articles did begin to appear towards the end of 1963, they cited the English stereotype of eccentricity, reporting that the UK had developed an interest in something that had come and gone a long time ago in the United States: rock and roll.[6] Headlines included "The New Madness"[7] and "Beatle Bug Bites Britain",[6] and writers employed word-play linking "beetle" with the "infestation" afflicting the UK.[6] In late 1963, Capitol Records agreed to release the single "I Want to Hold Your Hand" with a large accompanying promotional campaign, due to Ed Sullivan's agreement to headline the Beatles on The Ed Sullivan Show.[8] The Beatles' American television debut was on 18 November 1963 on The Huntley-Brinkley Report, with a four-minute long piece by Edwin Newman.[9] On 22 November 1963, the CBS Morning News ran a five-minute feature on Beatlemania in the UK which heavily featured their then current UK hit "She Loves You". The evening's scheduled repeat was cancelled following the assassination of John F. Kennedy the same day. On 10 December, Walter Cronkite decided to transmit the piece again on the CBS Evening News,[10] and the resulting interest led to the rush-release of "I Want to Hold Your Hand" and—only weeks before the Beatles' arrival—a U.S. commercial breakthrough.[1]

California. After reading many posts on here, I think I understand that when a lender agrees to a Novation, they agree to continue the exact same loan with all of the exact same terms and conditions, but with different names on the loan.

How many sentences are in a paragraph? How many sentences are in a paragraph? Answer by Don Dfoofnik Confidence votes 231KThere are three kinds of answers: ones that are mostly right, ones that are mostly wrong, and those that once were right but now are wrong. A paragraph may be one sentence or several, although most paragraphs average between 3 and 8 sentences. A paragraph consists of material related to a specific subtopic or concept within the written text. There is no standard size, just as there is no set number of words in a sentence. There are about 4-5 sentences in a paragraph. ---------------------------- 2nd Answer Grammar: A paragraph is a section of prose that expresses one specific thought or point. Well-written paragraphs contain a key sentence stating the main point. Additional sentences explain or expound on that. There is no set number or limit to the number of sentences. However, for better readability the number of lines and width of the paragraphs should be considered. Paragraph size and spacing are key in effective readability. Many short paragraphs of 3 lines or less present a 'scattered thinking' look. Conversely, long paragraphs over 7-8 lines create large blocks of text - much harder for the eye to follow across. An occasional short or very long paragraph is acceptable. For increased readability, paragraphs are separated in two ways. One Method: The first line of each paragraph is indented - usually by ½ inch. Indenting is typical for informal letters or in printing of magazines or books as publishers want to use every bit of space to keep costs down. The Second Method: Leaving a blank line between the paragraphs. The second method is preferred for formal business or presentation writing because 'white space' creates cleaner, more-professional looking documents which are easier to read. .14 people found this useful Was this answer useful?

Which Credit Cards Help Authorized Users Build Credit? With so many websites offering free financial tools, it can be hard to know whom to trust. At Nerd Wallet, we thoroughly research financial products and companies, and adhere to strict standards of editorial integrity to find you the best choices. We even share how we make money so you can rely on our expert advice and recommendations with clarity and confidence. Adding your child as the authorized user on your credit card is a smart way to help him or her start building credit. But did you know that some major issuers don’t report authorized user activity to the credit bureaus? If your goal is to help authorized users build credit, you’ll need to make sure you get the right card. For an explanation of what this means and how to be sure you’re putting your son or daughter on the right financial track, take a look at the details below. Benefits to adding your child as an authorized user First, let’s review what it means to add your child as an authorized user to your account: Essentially, you’re giving him or her the ability to make charges to card, but no responsibility to pay. In general, authorized users have access to the primary cardholder’s entire credit line, and will receive a card in their own name from the issuer. There are several advantages that come with adding your child as an authorized user. For example: In most cases, you’ll be helping your son or daughter build good credit (see below for details). You’ll have the opportunity to teach your child about responsible credit use while still maintaining a large degree of control over the account. For instance, you’ll be able to easily see the charges your authorized user is making. This isn’t the case in other credit-sharing arrangements, like cosigning. The authorized user will be racking up rewards for the primary cardholder every time he or she swipes. This is a great way to earn extra points, miles or cash back.» MORE: Credit card 101Which issuers report authorized user activity to the credit bureaus? While there are several good reasons to add your child as an authorized user to your credit card, the most common is to help him or her start building credit. However, this strategy only works if the issuer you’re working with is reporting authorized user activity to the credit bureaus. Remember, the credit reporting system in the United States is entirely voluntary — there’s nothing that compels your issuer to send account information in your authorized user’s name to the bureaus. If it chooses not to, your child won’t see any credit-building benefits from piggybacking on your card. So which major credit card issuers are reporting to the credit bureaus? To find out, the Nerds contacted spokespeople from nine big issuing banks in the United States. Take a look at our findings in the chart below, which is current as of November 2017: Issuer Bureaus reported to How AU is reported American Express Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported with same financial information as primary cardholder Bank of America Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported as authorized user Barclaycard Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Authorized user reported as not responsible for loan Capital One Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported as authorized user Chase Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported as authorized user Citi Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported as authorized user Discover Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported as authorized user US Bank Equifax, Experian, Trans Union Reported as authorized user Wells Fargo Equifax, Experian, Trans Union, Innovis Reported as authorized user As you can see, we found that major issuers are reporting authorized user activity, in some form or another, to the credit bureaus. But if your card is issued by a local bank or credit union, it may not be. Since there are costs involved with working with the bureaus, some small lenders don’t bother. Usually, you can find out if yours is reporting by placing a call to its customer service hotline. Or, consider applying for a new card from one of the larger issuers listed above. Nerd note: Keep in mind that recent iterations of the FICO algorithm weigh authorized-user activity slightly less than primary-user activity in consumers’ credit scores. Although authorized-user activity will certainly have an impact, keep your expectations reasonable, and encourage your child to establish his or her own credit card account as soon as possible. Looking for a credit card? Tell us what you would most want your card to do. Give me rewards Save me money on interest Establish or build my credit score Back Next Other ways to help your child build good credit Aside from making your child the authorized user on your card, there are other steps you can take to help your adult son or daughter build good credit: Educate him or her about responsible credit behavior. Emphasize paying bills on time, keeping credit utilization low, and only applying for one credit card at time. Also, explain the difference between credit and debit. Make it clear that using debit doesn’t help build a credit profile. Cosign your child’s first credit card or loan. Remember that this can be risky, so be sure to set up ground rules before moving forward. The bottom line: Not all credit card issuers report authorized user activity to the credit bureaus. If you’re trying to help your child build credit, be sure you’re working with one that does. Also, consider other credit-building tactics to give your son or daughter a solid financial start.

A Manson-Guise engine is an improved version of a Manson engine. It is a type of hot air engine, converting a temperature difference into motion. There is a hot side and a cold side to the engine. Providing there is a large enough temperature difference between the two sides the engine will run. The Manson-Guise engine is probably the simplest type of hot air engines having only a single con-rod, with a displacer piston and power piston that move at the same time. Manson-Guise engines seem to be fairly unique in the fact that they can run in either direction (flywheel can run clockwise or anti-clockwise).

Having attended art college, Mercury also designed Queen's logo, called the Queen crest, shortly before the release of the band's first album. The logo combines the zodiac signs of all four members: two lions for Leo (Deacon and Taylor), a crab for Cancer (May), and two fairies for Virgo (Mercury). The lions embrace a stylised letter Q, the crab rests atop the letter with flames rising directly above it, and the fairies are each sheltering below a lion. There is also a crown inside the Q and the whole logo is over-shadowed by an enormous phoenix. The whole symbol bears a passing resemblance to the Royal coat of arms of the United Kingdom, particularly with the lion supporters. The original logo, as found on the reverse-side of the first album cover, was a simple line drawing but more intricate colour versions were used on later sleeves.

The population of Paris in its administrative city limits was 2,241,346 in January 2014. This makes Paris the fifth largest municipality in the European Union, following London, Berlin, Madrid and Rome.

The Persian embassy to Europe (1599–1602) was dispatched by the Persian Shah Abbas I in 1599 to obtain an alliance against the Ottoman Empire. The Persians had then been at war with the Ottoman Empire for more than a century, and so decided to try to obtain European help against the Ottomans. Besides the territorial antagonism of the Ottoman and Persian realms, there was also strong religious antagonism, as the Persians proclaimed Shiism against the Ottoman Empire's Sunnism. The objective of the mission was to establish a European–Persian alliance against the Ottoman Turks. These Persian efforts at rapprochement with Europe followed the Persian defeat against the Ottoman Empire in the Ottoman–Safavid War (1578–1590).

The term "house music" is said to have originated from a Chicago club called The Warehouse, which existed from 1977 to 1983. Clubbers to The Warehouse were primarily black and gay, who came to dance to music played by the club's resident DJ Frankie Knuckles, whom fans refer to as the "godfather of house". After the Warehouse closed in 1983, the crowds went to Knuckles' new club, The Power Plant. In the Channel 4 documentary Pump Up The Volume, Knuckles remarks that the first time he heard the term "house music" was upon seeing "we play house music" on a sign in the window of a bar on Chicago's South Side. One of the people in the car with him joked, "you know, that's the kind of music you play down at the Warehouse!", and then everybody laughed. South-Side Chicago DJ Leonard "Remix" Roy, in self-published statements, claims he put such a sign in a tavern window because it was where he played music that one might find in one's home; in his case, it referred to his mother's soul & disco records, which he worked into his sets. Farley Jackmaster Funk was quoted as saying "In 1982, I was DJing at a club called The Playground and there was this kid named Leonard 'Remix' Roy who was a DJ at a rival club called The Rink. He came over to my club one night, and into the DJ booth and said to me, 'I've got the gimmick that's gonna take all the people out of your club and into mine – it's called House music.' Now, where he got that name from or what made him think of it I don't know, so the answer lies with him."

At the age of 21 he settled in Paris. Thereafter, during the last 18 years of his life, he gave only some 30 public performances, preferring the more intimate atmosphere of the salon. He supported himself by selling his compositions and teaching piano, for which he was in high demand. Chopin formed a friendship with Franz Liszt and was admired by many of his musical contemporaries, including Robert Schumann. In 1835 he obtained French citizenship. After a failed engagement to Maria Wodzińska, from 1837 to 1847 he maintained an often troubled relationship with the French writer George Sand. A brief and unhappy visit to Majorca with Sand in 1838–39 was one of his most productive periods of composition. In his last years, he was financially supported by his admirer Jane Stirling, who also arranged for him to visit Scotland in 1848. Through most of his life, Chopin suffered from poor health. He died in Paris in 1849, probably of tuberculosis.

What is the largest muscle in the human body? | eNotes What is the largest muscle in the human body? dano7744 | College Teacher | (Level 2) Educator Posted on May 22, 2010 at 10:56 AM The gluteal muscles are largest. The gluteus minimus and maximus comprise this group. They are your buttocks. A very close second is the bilateral latissimus dorsi muscles which are your "lats". They run more than half way up your back and wrap around laterally (the sides). They connect distally in the hip or coxal area. The gluteals are indeed much thicker and have more mass. Another large muscle group is the adductor group on the anterior thigh and also the quadriceps group which is also on your anterior thigh(front thigh). As you can imagine, the muscles of the legs are very strong inpart because they help to support your weight. The masseter muscles of the bilateral jaws are also very strong, and the strongest of all. like 5 dislike 0 discussion | College Teacher | (Level 1) Assistant Educator Posted on May 18, 2010 at 1:18 AM According to most online sources, the gluteus maximus or buttock muscle is the biggest of the 639 named muscles in the human body. The longest muscle in the human body is the sartorius. This narrow muscle of the thigh passes obliquely across the front of the thigh and helps rotate the leg to the position assumed in sitting cross-legged. The strongest muscle depends on how you measure strength. A good case could be made for the heart! Information from ehow.com: In terms of absolute force, the strongest muscle in the body is the masseter, the prime mover of the jaw for chewing. It can create force of 55 lbs. on the incisors or 200 lbs. on the molars. The hardest-working muscle in the body is the heart. It pumps 2 oz. blood at every heartbeat, at least 2,500 gallons daily. The muscle that can pull with the greatest force is the soleus, underneath the calf muscle. It is this muscle that keeps us from falling backward while standing up, and it is essential to running, walking and dancing. The largest muscle in the body is also one of the strongest--the gluteus maximus. This large muscle in the buttocks keeps us standing upright and fights against gravity when we walk up stairs. The most flexible muscle is the tongue, which can take many shapes and also is always moving, even in sleep. The most active of muscles is the eye muscles. Muscles of the eye are constantly moving. In an hour's worth of reading, they can move 10,000 times. Unlike the heart, however, eye muscles can get fatigued easily. like 8 dislike 1 August 2, 2012 at 7:03 AM The gluteus muscle is the largest muscle in the human body. It consists of gluteus maximus and gluteus minimus. it is called asbuttockmuscles. Hip region is the most important region in the human structure because human stands on both legs and when he stands this buttock region gives support to the human structure. Also, above the hip region there are so many internal organs (including respiratory, digestive system) which are very important for the human life,to protect these organs and to support them the muscle in the buttock should be very thick and large

One of the most conservative judges in the country ruled against a Trump administration effort to allow the states to throw millions off Medicaid.
Vox reported:
One of the most conservative judges in the country just handed down an opinion saying that the Trump administration acted illegally when it permitted the state of Arkansas to strip health coverage from thousands of Medicaid beneficiaries.
Judge David Sentelle’s opinion in Gresham v. Azar, on behalf of himself and two of his colleagues on the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, is significant in its own right. But it is also significant because it suggests that the Trump administration will have a tough time defending its conduct if this case is heard by the Supreme Court.
The heart of the ruling is that Trump can’t toss out the objectives of Congress and replace them with his own. In other words, Congress makes the laws and Trump implements them. The President does not have the power to changes the legislative objectives that are passed by Congress.
Eighteen thousand people would have lost their Medicaid coverage in Arkansas, and without this ruling other larger red states would have followed Arkansas. The result would have been millions of Americans without health insurance coverage.
Trump has made it his goal to publicly proclaim to be saving healthcare while privately attempting to take away insurance from millions of people.
The President is already worried that Democrats are going to kill him on healthcare, and court rulings that he broke the law while trying to make more Americans uninsured will only boost the Democratic case in November.

New England Colonies A group of Puritans known as the Pilgrims arrived on the Mayflower from England and the Netherlands to establish Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, the second successful English colony in North America following Jamestown, Virginia. About half of the one hundred-plus passengers on the Mayflower died that first winter, mostly because of diseases contracted on the voyage followed by a harsh winter.[8] In 1621, an American Indian named Squanto taught the colonists how to grow corn and where to catch eels and fish. His assistance was invaluable and helped them to survive the early years of the colonization. The Pilgrims lived on the same site where Squanto's Patuxet tribe had established a village before they were wiped out from diseases.[9]

`` Abyssinia , Henry '' is the 72nd episode of the M * A * S * H television series , and the final episode of the series ' third season . First aired on March 18 , 1975 , and written by Everett Greenbaum and Jim Fritzell , the highly rated episode was most notable for its shocking and unexpected ending . The plot of the episode centers on the honorable discharge and subsequent departure of the 4077th MASH 's commanding officer , Lieutenant Colonel Henry Blake -LRB- played by McLean Stevenson -RRB- . The title of the episode refers to the slang use of `` Abyssinia '' for `` goodbye '' . -LRB- `` Abyssinia '' , pronounced `` ab-ee-SIN-ee-ah '' can be understood as `` I 'll be seeing you '' . In the 1920s and 1930s Abyssinia was the name for the country now called Ethiopia . -RRB- It is mistakenly said that this slang was frequently used by the Henry Blake character throughout his years on the show . In fact , whenever Blake would bid farewell , it was usually by saying `` goom-bye '' , though Blake did use this term at least once . The highly controversial ending to the episode , which has since been referenced and parodied many times , prompted more than 1,000 letters to series producers Gene Reynolds and Larry Gelbart , and drew fire from both CBS and 20th Century Fox . After the production of this episode , both Stevenson and Wayne Rogers , who played the character of Trapper John McIntyre , left the series to pursue other interests . While Stevenson 's departure was announced prior to and written into `` Abyssinia , Henry '' , Rogers unexpectedly left the series during the break between Seasons Three and Four , and so his character 's departure takes place off-screen in the following episode , `` Welcome to Korea '' , the first of the show 's fourth season . These combined departures and their subsequent replacements also signaled the beginning of a major shift in focus of the M * A * S * H series as a whole with story and script focus emphasizing the character of Hawkeye Pierce , played by Alan Alda .

Ephialtes -LRB- Ἐφιάλτης , Ephialtēs -RRB- was an ancient Athenian politician and an early leader of the democratic movement there . In the late 460s BC , he oversaw reforms that diminished the power of the Areopagus , a traditional bastion of conservatism , and which are considered by many modern historians to mark the beginning of the `` radical democracy '' for which Athens would become famous . These powers included the scrutiny and control of office holders , and the judicial functions in state trials . He introduced pay for public officeholders , reduced the property qualifications for holding a public office , and created a new definition of citizenship . Ephialtes , however , would not live to participate in this new form of government for long . In 461 BC , he was assassinated , probably at the instigation of resentful oligarchs , and the political leadership of Athens passed to his deputy , Pericles .

Secretary-General of the United Nations The Secretary-General was envisioned by U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt as a "world moderator", but the vague definition provided by the UN Charter[1] left much room for interpretation by those who would later occupy the position. According to the UN website, their roles are further defined as "diplomat and advocate, civil servant, and CEO".[2] Nevertheless, this more abstract description has not prevented the office holders from speaking out and playing important roles on global issues to various degrees.[3] Article 97 under Chapter XV of the United Nations Charter states that the Secretary-General shall be the "chief administrative officer" of the Organization, but does not dictate their specific obligations.[citation needed]
