Nickel Nickelby Chris Woodford. Last updated: August 5, 2017. N ickels and dimes—think of nickel and you probably think of coins jangling about in your pocket or, if you're electrically minded, of rechargeable batteries. Those are just two of many common uses for nickel, one of the quieter, more modest metals. It's not big and showy, like gold and silver, and it's less well-appreciated than hi-tech aerospace metals such as aluminum and titanium (even though it has important applications in those fields too). Let's take a closer look at this unassuming element and find out more!Photo: Nickel is widely used in high-temperature "superalloys" to make such things as this aerospace turbine blade.

Nickel has featured in alloys (such as cupronickel, used in coins) for thousands of years, but it was recognized as a chemical element in its own right only in 1751. That was when Swedish chemist Baron Axel Frederic Cronstedt (1722–65) first isolated pure nickel from a reddish ore (mineral-containing rock) called niccolite. Niccolite got its name because it superficially resembled copper ore, though contained no actual copper. Miners who tried to extract it blamed "Old Nick" (the devil) for stealing the copper—and the name stuck. These days, you'll find nickel among the transition elements (transition metals) in group 10 (formerly group VIIIb) of the periodic table. It's very like iron in some ways and very like copper in others—hardly surprising, perhaps, given that it sits midway between them in the periodic table. Where does nickel come from? Chart: Where is the world's nickel? Estimated world nickel reserves as of 2016. Source: U. S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries: Nickel, January 2017. You might think nickel is fairly ordinary, but some of it is out of this world—quite literally. Most of the meteorites that hit Earth contain nickel (if you find a rock and it contains more than about five percent nickel, it's probably a meteorite). Nickel is a reasonably common metal: the 22nd most widespread element in Earth's crust (roughly twice as common as copper), which contains roughly 75 parts per million (0.0075 percent) nickel. Most of the nickel we use on Earth is mined from a number of nickel ores: pentlandite and pyrrhotite (iron nickel sulfides, the two most important nickel ores), garnierite (hydrous nickel silicate), millerite (nickel sulfide), and niccolite (nickel arsenide). The leading nickel producers are Canada, Australia, Indonesia, and Russia (together responsible for mining over half the world's nickel); the United States currently has no active nickel mines but does produce a relatively small amount of nickel as a byproduct from copper and palladium- platinum mines. The world has at least 130 million tons of nickel reserves on land, with much more believed to be available on the ocean floor (US Geological Survey, 2017). Like some other metals, nickel can be extracted from its ores with the help of smelting (heating in a blast furnace), electrolysis (where the ore is split into its constituents by passing an electric current through a solution), or by reacting it with acids (in the Mond process). What is nickel like? Photo: A US Navy technician welds a copper-nickel pipe onboard the aircraft carrier USS Kitty Hawk. The greenish-blue flame is characteristic of both copper and nickel. Photo by Adam York courtesy of US Navy. Physical properties Nickel is a typical metal: solid at everyday temperatures, reasonably strong and tough, malleable (easy-to-work), and ductile (capable of being pulled into wires). It's fairly easy to polish, a reasonably good conductor of heat and electricity, and quite magnetic as well. In its strength and toughness, it's similar to iron (though less magnetic), though it's much more resistant to corrosion and oxidation (and, in that respect, more like copper). Crystals of nickel have a face-centered cubic (FCC) structure. Chemical properties By itself, nickel is relatively unreactive. It does react with strong acids but not alkalis (which is why it's often used to line containers for alkaline substances). What is nickel used for? Chart: What do we use nickel for? Main end uses for nickel in the United States in 2015. Source: U. S. Geological Survey, Mineral Commodity Summaries: Nickel, January 2016. The vast majority of nickel is used as a constituent of alloys ; only a relatively small amount is used as pure metal in its own right. Worldwide, around two thirds of all nickel is used in manufacturing stainless steel (the figure is just over half in the United States), while hard and corrosion-resistant nickel steel (steel with around 3 percent nickel) is important for making a wide range of car parts, including valves and drive shafts of various kinds.

Ni MH batteries last longer and do not contain the toxic cadmium metal found in older nickel cadmium ("nicad") batteries. Photo by Warren Gretz courtesy of US Department of Energy/National Renewable Energy Laboratory (US DOE/NREL). Nonferrous alloys (ones that do not contain iron) are the next most common use for nickel. Cupronickel (used to make coins) is about three quarters copper and one quarter nickel. Other nickel alloys include shape-memory nitinol that combines nickel with titanium (used in such things as bendy eyeglass frames), and a wide range of hi-tech, aerospace "superalloys" (alloys that work well at very high temperatures). Turbine blades (used in jet engines and also in the steam turbines that generate electricity in most large power plants) are typically coated with nickel to give them greater strength and a protective layer that provides corrosion resistance. Nickel is also used by itself for electroplating metals such as iron and steel (again, for corrosion resistance), in powdered form to make catalysts (substances that speed up chemical reactions), to make nickel-mesh screens for printing textiles, and in batteries. Important compounds of nickel include nickel nitrates, chlorides, and sulfates, all of which are used in electroplating. Nickel oxides are used in batteries and fuel cells. Nickel ferrites (nickel-iron compounds) are widely used to make electromagnetic parts for such things as transformers.
This is Orson Welles is a 1992 book by Orson Welles (1915–1985) and Peter Bogdanovich that comprises conversations between the two filmmakers recorded over several years, beginning in 1969. The wide-ranging volume encompasses Welles's life and his own stage, radio and film work as well as his insights on the work of others. The interview book was transcribed by Bogdanovich after Welles's death, at the request of Welles's longtime companion and professional collaborator, Oja Kodar. Welles considered the book his autobiography.

French wines and wine regions of France South-west Alsace Situated on the lower eastern slopes of the Vosges mountains, in the Rhine valley between Strasbourg and Mulhouse, the Alsace vineyard is rather different from any other French wine growing area. Like the region of Alsace itself, the wine culture here is steeped in a Germanic tradition, producing mostly dry or fruity white wines, the most popular being Riesling, Sylvaner and the very fruity Gewurztraminer. The rules of Appellation contrôlée - and more recently of Appellation Protégée (AOP) are not applied in the same way in Alsace as in the rest of France. In Alsace, wines are produced under a simple "Alsace" appellation, after which the next most important element to be indicated, and the most visible word on the label, is the grape variety or "cépage", Sylvaner, Riesling, Gewurztraminer, Edelzwicker, Pinot or a few others. Smaller areas do not have their own appellations, though with many Alsace wines, the name of the village or vineyard from which it comes will also be indicated. See also Vendanges tardives. Lorraine, also in north east France, produces mostly Vin de pays white wines, in the Meuse and the Moselle. Price list outside a top-class wine merchant in the Bordeaux region. Note the price of a bottle of Petrus 1982.... at 6720 €. Not for ordinary mortals. Bordeaux Wine, and wine growing region. With Burgundy and Champagne, the Bordeaux region of Aquitaine is one of the three most famous French wine-producing regions. Historically, its fame is at least in part due to the fact that of these three big grape-growing areas, the Bordeaux vineyard is the only one with immediate access to the sea, an advantage that has enabled it to be France's major wine exporting region for many centuries. In 1152, when queen Eleanor of Aquitaine married the English king Henry II, the Aquitaine region became economically integrated into the Anglo-Norman world, the Bordeaux region becoming the main supplier of wine for England. This historic wine exporting tradition helped Bordeaux to develop far stronger commercial links in the ensuing centuries, firmly establishing Bordeaux wines, often referred to generically in English as "clarets", on the international market. The Bordeaux vineyard is centered round the port city of Bordeaux , along the estuary of the Gironde, and the rivers Garonne and Dordogne. It is a large vineyard, and the geo-specific appellation "Bordeaux" covers an area stretching some 100 km both north-south and east-west. While the appellation contrôlée covers wines of medium quality from all over this region, many if not most of the top quality clarets grown in the overall area benefit from more specific and distinctive area appellations, such as Médoc , Graves or Saint Emilion, and even more local appellations such as Pauillac, Graves and Saint-Estèphe. Unlike other French wine-growing areas, the Bordeaux area operates classifications of many of its top wines, notably those from the Médoc and Saint Emilion vineyards. The best estates in these areas have the right to sell wines designated as grand cru. Below the grand crus come other high quality wines designated as cru bourgeois. Tip: 2009 is said to be an exceptionally good vintage year. Médoc Among the Bordeaux vineyards, Médoc deserves a special mention. The Médoc, an area south of the Gironde estuary to the north west of Bordeaux, is the home of many of the most prestigious French wines. Among the famous appellations produced in this area are Saint Estèphe, Margaux, Saint Julien and Pauillac. It was in 1855 that the wine producers of the Medoc region classified their 61 best wines according to a league table of "grands crus", ranking from "Premier Cru" to "Cinquième Cru". These grands crus are generally reputed to be the greatest of all French wines, and naturally their prices generally reflect this status. Obviously, if you buy an estate bottled wine from a chateau with grand cru status, (and of course they are all estate bottled), you can be pretty sure of getting a top quality wine. But take care! E

Peace Candle In the fall of 1967, it was decided the Christmas Candle would be renamed the Peace Candle, because the city planned to sell Christmas cards depicting the structure and hoped Easton would become known as "the Peace Candle city". On October 18, the city's businesses issued a statement, "Whether you choose to call it a Christmas Candle or a Peace Candle is not important. The important aspect is that the Candle is our clarion call, and this call will be issued this year as a reaffirmation of our desire for peace and harmony in all facts of our lives and throughout the world." On November 27, 1967, about 1,500 people attended the Peace Candle lighting, which would prove to be the final ceremony of its kind for that incarnation of the candle, which would be rebuilt in subsequent years. The bells of six different downtown churches were rung during the ceremony, and people surrounded the Peace Candle holding lit wax candles themselves. Also in 1967, a photo and caption of the Peace Candle was featured in the December 6 issue Weekly Reader, a national children's newspaper circulated in the nation's schools. A columnist for the magazine named "Aunt Em" said it was featured because, "I think the candle in Easton is especially lovely since it is a symbol for both Hanukkah and Christmas". Appeared on December 6, 1967.
Furthermore, evidence exists that hunting may have been one of the multiple environmental factors leading to extinctions of the holocene megafauna and their replacement by smaller herbivores. North American megafauna extinction was coincidental with the Younger Dryas impact event, possibly making hunting a less critical factor in prehistoric species loss than had been previously thought. However, in other locations such as Australia, humans are thought to have played a very significant role in the extinction of the Australian megafauna that was widespread prior to human occupation.
Golden spike The golden spike (also known as The Last Spike[1]) is the ceremonial 17.6-karat gold final spike driven by Leland Stanford to join the rails of the First Transcontinental Railroad across the United States connecting the Central Pacific and Union Pacific railroads on May 10, 1869, at Promontory Summit, Utah Territory. The term last spike has been used to refer to one driven at the usually ceremonial completion of any new railroad construction projects, particularly those in which construction is undertaken from two disparate origins towards a meeting point. The spike is now displayed in the Cantor Arts Center at Stanford University.[2]

Club History – soscc.co.uk Club History The Club’s History If you have any information which should appear here, please contact the webmaster. The latest addition was made to this page on April 11th 2015 with the Autocar Magazine’s report on Francis Dundas’s win of the 1958 Scottish Rally. Prior to this, on February 20th 2015, we added the list of all winners of the Queensberry (Club Champion) Trophy from 1954. Then on March 24th 2015, we added the ‘Autocar’ Magazine’s stories of the 1952 and 1953 Scottish Rallies, the entry list for the ’52 event including three SOSCC drivers. Frank Dundas was the only member mentioned in the ’53 report. And on March 30th 2015, we completed adding extracts ‘from the minutes’ of club committee meetings held in 1976, 1977 and 1978 and also items from newsletters, 12 Car Rallies and other correspondence when the club was Chaired first by mobile school dentist, Derek Attwood, and later farmer Bill Riddick, who lived at Templand Hill, Kirkton. Find all these items chronologically, by scrolling down the page and looking for the years highlighted. Our Honorary President We were extremely fortunate that up to the date of his death, September 4th 2007, one of the founder members of the club, His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry KT, was our Honorary President and still actively supporting the club, kindly allowing us access to the many roads around the Drumlanrig Castle estate, particularly to celebrate the club’s 50th anniversary in the form of a special stage rally in 2005. The natural successor to the late Duke was his son, Richard, who early in 2008 willingly agreed to take over the role of Honorary President from his father, because in his words, he ‘believed in continuing on with traditions’. The event in 2005 to celebrate the 50th anniversary was named the ‘Autumn Stages’, the traditional name for the club’s annual stage rally, (even though in 2005 the event ran out of season in May) having originally been scheduled for September 2004, but initially postponed, due to a lack of entries. Undaunted, the committee pressed on and ran the event in 2005 instead, admittedly a few months late but fittingly this time, running with exactly 50 starters, to mark this historic occasion. The event was run again at Drumlanrig in September 2007 and September 2008. More about the ‘Autumn Stages’ later. Our Honorary Vice President This, as you will see from this website’s Home Page, is John Bogie. To read more about John and his own motor sport career, please scroll down the page to the Alphabetical section, where you will find a short story about some of our more ‘experienced’ past and present members. The Birth of the South of Scotland Car Club. Until late in 2011, it had been believed that the South of Scotland Car Club started life in 1954. However, in November 2011, fresh information came to light after a great deal of detailed research, proving without doubt that in fact, the club commenced in 1951. Initially, in 2010, we received a completely unexpected e.mail from a gentleman called Chris Denham. Chris’s dad, George Philip Denham-Cookes, had recently passed away and knowing that his Dad had something to do with the club back in its early days, he had tracked down the SOSCC to let us know. After one and a half years and considerable correspondence, Chris was eventually able to provide vital clues that led us to conclusive proof of the precise date that the club was born. In 2010, Philip’s wife Iris was now in her nineties and living in Devon. She had recalled that in November 1950, after she and Philip, a successful racing driver in his own right, had just completed a lengthy rally around Britain, had invited some fellow motor sport enthusiasts back to Woodland House in Newbridge for drinks. (Woodland House later became the Embassy Hotel and later re-adopted its original name to become the Woodland House Hotel). According to Iris, after several whiskies, those present decided to start a club for motoring enthusiasts in the South of Scotland and agreed to put an advert in the Dumfries newsp

Trimmer Capacitors. A trimmer capacitor is a type of variable capacitor (a capacitor that can have its capacitance manually adjusted by changing the positioning of the two conductive plates). A trimmer capacitor differs from a regular variable capacitor in that itâs smaller, and its value is set initially during production and is meant to be left there for some time until an adjustment is needed.
Ronald Reagan Appears in "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" \| World History Project Ronald Reagan Appears in "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse is a 1938 Warner Bros. crime film starring Edward G. Robinson, Claire Trevor and Humphrey Bogart. It was directed by Anatole Litvak and written by John Wexley and John Huston based on the first play written by short-story writer Barré Lyndon, which ran for three months on Broadway with Cedric Hardwicke after playing in London. Plot Dr. Clitterhouse (Edward G. Robinson) is a wealthy society doctor in New York City who decides to research the medical aspects of criminal behavior directly by becoming one. He begins a series of daring jewel robberies, measuring his own blood pressure, temperature and pulse before, during and afterwards, but yearns for a larger sample for his study. From one of his patients, Police Inspector Lewis Lane (Donald Crisp), he learns the name of the biggest fence in the city, Joe Keller. He goes to meet Keller to sell what he has stolen, only to find out that "Joe" is actually "Jo" (Claire Trevor). The doctor impresses Jo and a gang of thieves headed by 'Rocks' Valentine (Humphrey Bogart) with his exploits, so Jo invites him to join them, and he accepts. Dr. Clitterhouse pretends to take a six week vacation in Europe. As "The Professor", he proceeds to wrest leadership of the gang (and the admiration of Jo) away from Rocks, making him extremely resentful. When they rob a fur warehouse, Rocks locks his rival in a cold storage room, but Clitterhouse is freed by a gang member Jo had assigned to keep watch on him. Afterwards, Clitterhouse announces he is quitting; he has enough data from studying the gang during their robberies, and his "vacation" time is up. He returns the gang to Rocks' control. However, Rocks learns Dr. Clitterhouse's real identity and shows up at his Park Avenue office. Rocks tries to blackmail the doctor into continuing to plan the thefts. Clitterhouse learns that Rocks will not let him publish his incriminating research, and also realizes that he has not studied the ultimate crime – murder – so he poisons Rocks' drink. Jo helps dispose of the body in the river, but it is recovered and the poison is detected by the police. The doctor is ultimately caught by his friend Inspector Lane and placed on trial. He insists that he did everything for purely scientific reasons and claims that his book is a "sane book" and that it is "impossible for an insane man to write a sane book". His determination to show that he is sane, and therefore willing to face the death penalty, convinces the jury to find him not guilty by reason of insanity. Production Barré Lyndon's play, The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, had been a success in London, and was produced on Broadway in association with Warner Bros.[1], but the studio had difficulty obtaining the movie rights even so, since Lyndon retained control of them. Carl Laemmle Jr., Paramount and MGM all bid for the rights, and Laemmle bought them for over $50,000. He then turned them around and sold them to Warners in return for the loan of Paul Muni for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", a film that never got made. Producer Robert Lord originally wanted Ronald Colman to play the part of "Dr. Clitterhouse." The film was in production from late February to early April 1938 at Warner Bros. studios in Burbank. Clitterhouse was only Anatole Litvak's second film for Warners. Cast

During the fighting, the Communards killed c. 500 people, including the Archbishop of Paris, and burned down many government buildings, including the Tuileries Palace and the Hotel de Ville. Communards captured with weapons were routinely shot by the army and Government troops killed from 7,000–30,000 Communards in the fighting and in massacres of men, women, and children during and after the Commune. More recent histories, based on studies of the number buried in Paris cemeteries and in mass graves after the fall of the Commune, put the number killed at between 6,000 and 10,000. Twenty-six courts were established to try more than 40,000 people who had been arrested, which took until 1875 and imposed 95 death sentences, of which 23 were inflicted. Forced labour for life was imposed on 251 people, 1,160 people were transported to "a fortified place" and 3,417 people were transported. About 20,000 Communards were held in prison hulks until released in 1872 and a great many Communards fled abroad to England, Switzerland, Belgium or the United States. The survivors were amnestied by a bill introduced by Gambetta in 1880 and allowed to return.

Helter Skelter (song) The song was recorded many times during sessions for The Beatles. During the 18 July 1968 sessions, the Beatles recorded a version of the song lasting 27 minutes and 11 seconds,[12] although this version is rather slow and hypnotic, differing greatly from the volume and rawness of the album version.[13] Another recording from the same day, originally 12 minutes long, was edited down to 4:37 for Anthology 3. On 9 September, 18 takes of approximately five minutes each were recorded, and the last one is featured on the original LP.[12] After the 18th take, Ringo Starr flung his drum sticks across the studio[14] and screamed, "I got blisters on my fingers!"[5][12] Starr's shout was included on the stereo mix of the song. At around 3:40, the song completely fades out, gradually fades back in, fades back out partially and finally fades back in quickly with three cymbal crashes and Ringo's scream (some sources erroneously credit the "blisters" line to Lennon; in fact, Lennon can be heard asking "How's that?" before Ringo's outburst).[15] The mono version (originally on LP only) ends on the first fadeout without Starr's outburst. The mono version was not initially available in the US as mono albums had already been phased out there. The mono version was later released in the American version of the Rarities album. In 2009, it was made available on the CD mono re-issue of The Beatles as part of the Beatles in Mono CD box set.

Blinking From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Blink)navigation search"Blink" redirects here. For other uses, see Blink (disambiguation). A slow-motion example of a blinking human eye Blinking is a bodily function; it is a semi-autonomic rapid closing of the eyelid. [1] A single blink is determined by the forceful closing of the eyelid or inactivation of the levator palpebrae superioris and the activation of the palpebral portion of the orbicularis oculi, not the full open and close. [ citation needed] It is an essential function of the eye that helps spread tears across and remove irritants from the surface of the cornea and conjunctiva. Blinking may have other functions since it occurs more often than necessary just to keep the eye lubricated. Researchers think blinking may help us disengage our attention; following blink onset, cortical activity decreases in the dorsal network and increases in the default-mode network, associated with internal processing. [2] Blink speed can be affected by elements such as fatigue, eye injury, medication, and disease. The blinking rate is determined by the "blinking center", but it can also be affected by external stimulus. Some animals, such as tortoises and hamsters, blink their eyes independently of each other. Humans use winking, the blinking of only one eye, as a form of body language. Contents [ hide ]1 Function and anatomy of a blink1.1 Central nervous system's control2 Types of blink2.1 Spontaneous blink2.2 Reflex blink2.3 Voluntary blink3 Blinking in everyday life3.1 Children3.2 Adults4 See also5 References6 External links Function and anatomy of a blink [ edit]Birds, reptiles and sharks blink with a nictitating membrane from one side of the eye to the other. Blinking provides moisture to the eye by irrigation using tears and a lubricant the eyes secrete. The eyelid provides suction across the eye from the tear duct to the entire eyeball to keep it from drying out. Blinking also protects the eye from irritants. Eyelashes are hairs attached to the upper and lower eyelids that create a line of defense against dust and other elements to the eye. The eyelashes catch most of these irritants before they reach the eyeball. There are multiple muscles that control reflexes of blinking. The main muscles, in the upper eyelid, that control the opening and closing are the orbicularis oculi and levator palpebrae superioris muscle. The orbicularis oculi closes the eye, while the contraction of the levator palpebrae muscle opens the eye. The Müller’s muscle, or the superior tarsal muscle, in the upper eyelid and the inferior palpebral muscle in the lower 3 eyelid are responsible for widening the eyes. These muscles are not only imperative in blinking, but they are also important in many other functions such as squinting and winking. The inferior palpebral muscle is coordinated with the inferior rectus to pull down the lower lid when one looks down. Also, when the eyes move, there is often a blink; the blink is thought to help the eye shift its target point. [3]Central nervous system's control [ edit]Though one may think that the stimulus triggering blinking is dry or irritated eyes, it is most likely that it is controlled by a "blinking center" of the globus pallidus of the lenticular nucleus —a body of nerve cells between the base and outer surface of the brain. Nevertheless, external stimuli can contribute. The orbicularis oculi is a facial muscle; therefore its actions are translated by the facial nerve root. The levator palpebrae superioris’ action is sent through the oculomotor nerve. The duration of a blink is on average 100-150 milliseconds according to UCL researcher [4] and between 100-400 ms according to the Harvard Database of Useful Biological Numbers. [5] Closures in excess of 1000 ms were defined as microsleeps. Greater activation of dopaminergic pathways dopamine production in the striatum is associated with a higher rate of spontaneous eye blinking. [6] [7] Conditions in which there is reduced dopamine availability such as Parkinson's disease have reduced eye blink rate, [8] while conditions in which it is raised such as schizophrenia have an increased rate. [9]Types of blink [ edit]There are three types of blink. Spontaneous blink [ edit]Spontaneous blinking which is done without external stimuli and internal effort. This type of blinking is conducted in the pre-motor brain stem and happens without conscious effort, like breathing and digestion. Reflex blink [ edit]A reflex blink occurs in response to an external stimulus, such as contact with the cornea or objects that appear rapidly in front of the eye. A reflex blink is not necessarily a conscious blink either; however it does happen faster than a spontaneous blink. [1] Reflex blink may occur in response to tactile stimuli (e.g. corneal, eyelash, skin of eyelid, contact with eyebrow ), optical stimuli (e.g. dazzle reflex, [10] or menace reflex) or auditory stimuli (e.g., menace reflex)Voluntary blink [ edit]Voluntary blink is larger amplitude than Reflex blink, with the use of all 3 divisions of the orbicularis oculi muscle. Blinking in everyday life [ edit]Children [ edit]Infants do not blink at the same rate of adults; in fact, infants only blink at an average rate of one or two times in a minute. The reason for this difference is unknown, but it is suggested that infants do not require the same amount of eye lubrication that adults do because their eyelid opening is smaller in relation to adults. Additionally, infants do not produce tears during their first month of life. Infants also get a significant amount more sleep than adults do and, as discussed earlier, fatigued eyes blink more. However, throughout childhood the blink rate increases, and by adolescence, it is usually equivalent to adults. [11]Adults [ edit]There have been mixed results when studying gender-dependent differences in blinking rates, with results varying from the female rate nearly doubling the male to no significant difference between them. [12] [13] In addition, women using oral contraceptives blink 32% more often than other women on average for unknown reasons. [14] Generally, between each blink is an interval of 2–10 seconds; actual rates vary by individual averaging around 10 blinks per minute in a laboratory setting. However, when the eyes are focused on an object for an extended period of time, such as when reading, the rate of blinking decreases to about 3 to 4 times per minute [15]. This is the major reason that eyes dry out and become fatigued when reading. When the eyes dry out or become fatigued due to reading on a computer screen, it can be an indication of Computer Vision Syndrome. Computer Vision Syndrome can be prevented by taking regular breaks, focusing on objects far from the screen, having a well-lit workplace, or using a blink reminder application such as Eye Leo or Vision Protect. Studies suggest [16] that adults can learn to maintain a healthy blinking rate while reading or looking at a computer screen using biofeedback. Eye blinking can be a criterion for diagnosing medical conditions. For example, excessive blinking may help to indicate the onset of Tourette syndrome, strokes or disorders of the nervous system. A reduced rate of blinking is associated with Parkinson's disease.

The film was directed by Pete Hewitt, whose previous work included "Bill & Ted's Bogus Journey" (1991) and "The Borrowers" (1997). The script was written by Phil Hughes, based on a story by Peter Hewitt about a boy who dreams to be a spaceman, but has a problem with flatulence.
Squad leader In the US military, a squad leader or squad commander is a Non-Commissioned Officer who leads a squad of typically 9 Soldiers (US Army: squad leader and two fireteams of 4 men each) or 13 Marines (US Marine Corps: squad leader and three fireteams of 4 men each) in a rifle squad, or 3 to 8 men in a crew-served weapons squad. In the United States Army the Table of Organization and Equipment (TO&E) rank of a rifle squad leader is Staff Sergeant (US military & naval pay grade E-6 or NATO designation OR-6) and in the United States Marine Corps the TO rank is Sergeant (E-5 or OR-5), though a Corporal may also act as a squad leader in the absence of sufficient numbers of Sergeants. Squad leaders of crew-served weapons squads range from Corporal through Staff Sergeant, depending upon the branch of service and type of squad.
Doctors look for symptoms like Katie's plus there's one other obvious clue. Increased heart rate when you stand up from a resting position. You see, your heart pumps blood to the brain when it beats. If there's a sudden and dramatic increase in pulse rate, not enough blood gets to the brain and you get dizzy. So the increase in pulse and dizziness upon standing are key for diagnosis.

Charles Clarence Passailaigue - Passailaigue was born in Kingston on August 4, 1901 and died at Montego Bay, St. James, Jamaica on January 7, 1972, aged 70. Although his career spanned the entire decade of the 1930s, in truth Passailaigue played first-class cricket only sporadically. As an attacking batsman he announced himself to the cricketing world by scoring 183 for Jamaica at Melbourne Park, Kingston in March, 1930, against a touring M.C.C. side led by F.S.G. Calthorpe. After that performance he was selected for the fourth Test, played a few days later at Sabina Park, Jamaica. In this timeless match played over nine days, he scored 44 and 2 not out, held three catches – from Hendren, Wyatt and Haig – and bowled a couple of overs, taking 0 for 15. On the basis of these first two performances, many considered him unlucky not to win a place for the first tour to visit Australia in 1930/31 and worse, never again to be selected for a West Indian Test match. And as if to prove what a mistake this was, bearing in mind that the West Indies lost the Test series against Australia 4-1, Passailaigue recorded his highest score of 261 not out in just his third first-class match. Playing for All Jamaica against the Hon. Lionel Tennyson's side back at Melbourne Park, Jamaica amassed 702 runs for 5 wickets in their only innings and with his good friend, George Headley, Passailaigue shared an unbeaten stand of 487. At the time of writing, this remains a first-class sixth wicket partnership. His only first-class wicket with the ball, that of H.P. Bayley, was taken in Passailaigue’s final match, playing for Jamaica against a Combined XI in Trinidad. His death in 1972 went unreported at the time and therefore no obituary appeared within Wisden for him.

Captain John Charles Marshall and Thomas Gilbert visited the islands in 1788. The islands were named for Marshall on Western charts, although the natives have historically named their home "jolet jen Anij" (Gifts from God). Around 1820, Russian explorer Adam Johann von Krusenstern and the French explorer Louis Isidore Duperrey named the islands after John Marshall, and drew maps of the islands. The designation was repeated later on British maps.[citation needed] In 1824 the crew of the American whaler Globe mutinied and some of the crew put ashore on Mulgrave Island. One year later, the American schooner Dolphin arrived and picked up two boys, the last survivors of a massacre by the natives due to their brutal treatment of the women.:2

Time Earth is split up into a number of time zones. Most time zones are exactly one hour apart, and by convention compute their local time as an offset from GMT. For example, time zones at sea are based on GMT. In many locations (but not at sea) these offsets vary twice yearly due to daylight saving time transitions.
. In the beginning, North America and Canada did not exist... at least in the minds of Europeans. They knew of Cathay and of the rich trade possibilities there, but the ocean to the west was a barrier which seemed too vast to cross. When overland trade routes became blocked and the voyage around Africa was found to be long and dangerous, the European nations began to look westward for a shorter journey. Little did they know that they would discover a whole new world complete with its own unique peoples and riches. This section deals with the discovery and early explorations of Canada and the attempts by both the English and French to settle in and lay claim to the New World. It deals with the first encounters with the Native People and the fragile relationships which developed between the Natives and Europeans, and even among the Europeans themselves. It deals with the development of the fur trade which would effectively change Canada's history forever. Note: Clicking following an event opens a New Window containing more detailed information concerning that event. Related stories are linked in sequence. Pre-History In Canada, 'Indians' are know as 'Aboriginal People', 'Native People', or 'People of the First Nations'. Current archaeological evidence indicates that Natives first arrived in North America 40,000 years BCE (Before the Common Era) by crossing a land bridge which had formed between Asia and Alaska during the latest Ice Age.--- 9000-8000 BCE - Hurons (originally known as the Wendat) settled into Southern Ontario along the Eramosa River (near Guelph). They were concentrated between Lake Simcoe and Georgian Bay. Most of the land was still covered in glaciers and the Wendat hunted caribou to survive.--- 7000 BCE - The west coast of Canada was being settled and various cultures built themselves around the salmon fishing available there. The Nuu'chah'nulth (Nootka) of Vancouver Island began whaling.--- 6000 BCE - Different cultures were built around the buffalo by the Plains Indians. They hunted buffalo by herding migrating buffalo off cliffs. Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, near Lethbridge, Alberta, is the most famous hunting grounds and was in use for 5,000 years.--- 5000 BCE - The oldest ceremonial burial site was discovered at L'Anse Amour on the coast of Labrador containing the remains of a 12-year-old boy. He was lying face-down and a slab of rock was laid across his back. Red ochre had been sprinkled on the back of his head and in a circle around the body. Buried with him were a decorative caribou antler pestle, a bone pendant, bird bones, a harpoon head, a bone whistle, and a walrus tusk. It is unknown what standing the boy had in the community to have been buried in such an elaborate and time-consuming manner.--- 2000 BCE - Inuit arrived by small boats long after the land bridge had disappeared and settled in the Arctic regions.--- 800 BCE - The glaciers had receeded and the weather had warmed. The Hurons had became farmers instead of hunters, cultivating corn which will not grow wild.--- 500 BCE-1000 AD - Natives had settled across most of Canada. Hundreds of tribes had developed, each with its own culture, customs, legends, and character. In the northwest were the Athapaskan, Slavey, Dogrib, Tutchone, Tlinget and Guii'Chen. In the Arctic were the Inuit. Along the Pacific coast were the Haida, Salish, Kwakiutl, Nootka, Nis'ga and Gitskan. In the plains were the Blackfoot, Blood, Sarcee and Peigen. In the northern woodlands were the Cree and Chipwyan. Around the Great Lakes were the Annishnaube, Algonquin, Iroquois and Wendat (Huron). Along the Atlantic coast were the Beothuk, Maliseet, Innu, Abenaki and Micmac. All of them, however diverse, had named the 4 corners of their country: Denendeh, Us-Qui, Nunavut and Kanata.1000 AD (approx.) - The Vikings--- Vikings landed in the New World and attempted conquest over the Natives in Newfoundland and Labrador. Native raids forced them to abandon their attempts to settle.1360--- The Church of Rome sent Norwegian Paul Knutsson to reclaim Greenland. Records indicate that Knutsson sailed westward into Hudson Strait and Hudson Bay and then south into James Bay. It is believed that Knutsson travelled inland along the Albany River all the way to Lake Nipigon, north of Lake Superior.1398--- Micmac legends indicate that a 'White Man' (believed to be Norwegian Henry Sinclair) landed in present-day Nova Scotia. Sinclair was told of red-haired, green-eyed men with beards (Lief Ericsson?) who had arrived centuries earlier and taught the Micmac how to fish with nets. Navigation records in Venice, Italy, may substantiate this.1420--- Basque whalers began fishing off the coast of Labrador.1492 - Christopher Columbus - New World--- Christopher Columbus 'officially' discovered North America but mistook it for the Orient. Landing in the Carribean, he mistakenly thought he was in the Indies. This began a new era of exploration for Europe.1494--- Spain gained control of virtually all of North and South America through the Treaty of Tordesillas.1497 - John Cabot - Claiming Canada--- May 2 - John Cabot (Giovanni Caboto Montecataluna), along with his sons Sebastian and Sancio, set sail from Bristol, England, aboard the ship Matthew. Unlike the Spanish, who were concentrating their conquests in South and Central America, Cabot sailed west.--- June 24, St. John's Day - Cabot went ashore, probably on Cape Breton Island, and claimed Terre Nova in the name of King Henry VII.1498--- John Cabot died. Cabot began his second voyage to Terre Nova, but a severe storm damaged one ship which managed to return to England. Four other ships, including Cabot's, were lost at sea.1501 - Slavery--- Approximately 50 natives (probably Beothuk) were forcibly kidnapped, probably from the shores of Labrador, and taken to Lisbon by Alberto Cantino. The natives' upper bodies were superbly built for hard labour and the Portuguese believed they had found a new source of slaves. However, most had died en route and those who survived and landed in Lisbon died soon afterward from various European diseases. Another ship, captained by Gaspar Gorte Real and carrying 50 more 'slaves', was lost at sea.1502--- England recorded its first shipment of fish from the New World.--- Three natives were presented to King Henry VII as slaves.1504 (circa) - St. John's Harbour--- A small fish-processing village was set up at present-day St. John's, Newfoundland. The harbour and the processing plant were used by all the major European countries who fished the Grand Banks. St. John's Harbour became a focal point for ships leaving and arriving in the New World.1506--- Portugal began to levy taxes against all the fish caught in the Grand Banks.1507 - Terra Nova--- A world map, compiled in Rome, shows the eastern coast of Canada including Hudson Bay. Newfoundland is marked as Terra Nova (New World) .1508--- Sebastian Caboto (son of John Cabot) sailed north from Labrador and is believed to have reached Hudson Bay, which he believed to be the Pacific Ocean. Lack of food and a mutinous crew forced his return to England.--- Slave trader Thomas Aubert of Dieppe may have travelled up the St. Lawrence River as far as present-day Quebec.1518 - Wild Horses of Sable Island--- Baron de Lery, of Portugal, established a colony on the northern tip of Nova Scotia and another on Sable Island, off the southern tip. Horses and cows were taken to both colonies. The colonies failed soon after, but the horses on Sable Island survived and their descendents still live wild there today.1520--- Portuguese maps indicate the Gulf of St. Lawrence - 4 years before Jacques Cartier would discover it.1523 - New France & Acadia--- Giovanni da Verrazzano claimed the New World on behalf of King François I of France and named the land 'Nova Gallia' ('New France').

He discovered and charted the Gulf of St. Lawrence. He met Iroquoian Chief Donnacona and kidnapped his sons in order to take them back to France as proof of the New World.--- The name 'Canada' was born. The name ('Kanata') was first used in maps and journals by Jacques Cartier.1535 - Jacques Cartier's 2nd Voyage - Stadacona & Hochelaga--- May - Jacques Cartier returned to the New World with Dom Agaya and Taignoagny, the sons of Chief Donnacona whom Cartier had kidnapped in 1534. With Dom Agaya and Taignoagny as guides, Cartier sailed into the Gulf of St. Lawrence and discovered the St. Lawrence River, which would ultimately be Cartier's most significant discovery. He also discovered the Iroquoian villages of Stadacona (present-day Quebec) and Hochelaga (present-day Montreal)1535-1536 - Jacques Cartier - Winter & Scurvy--- Cartier was stranded in Canada over the winter and discovered a cure for scurvy. In May 1536, Cartier returned to France after having once again kidnapped Dom Agaya and Taignoagny, along with their father, Chief Donnacona.--- Canada's first tourists arrived in Newfoundland. Thirty gentlemen, under the charge of Richard Hore of London, soon ran out of food and were forced to resort to cannibalism. After a French fishing boat rescued them, the ship was captured and the crew abandoned to an unknown fate. Hore returned to England.1540 or 1541--- Iroquoian Chief Donnacona died of undisclosed caused and was buried in France.1541 - Jacques Cartier's 3rd Voyage - First Settlement in Canada--- Cartier's third voyage in which he founded Charlesbourg-Royal at the mouth of the Cap Rouge River, the first attempted settlement in Canada.1542 - Jacques Cartier - Failure, Retirement & Suspension--- Iroquoians, enraged over the death of Chief Donnacona, kept Charlesbourg-Royal under seige throughout the Winter. Cartier abandoned Charlesbourg-Royal and returned to France with 'gold'.1543--- The first New France had collapsed completely. French exploration in the New World was abandoned temporarily.1544--- The Basque founded Tadoussac at the mouth of the Saguenay River. Tadoussac had long been a trading centre, but the Basques 'winterized' it and built a trading post and fish processing plant.1557--- September 1 - Jacques Cartier died in St. Malo. He was 66.1565--- The first oil spill in Canada occured in the Strait of Belle Isle, Labrador, when a Basque galleon sank with 189,000 litres (50,000 gallons) of oil aboard.1567--- Samuel de Champlain was born in Brouage, France.1576 - Martin Frobisher - Northwest Passage--- Martin Frobisher of England made the first of three attempts to find a Northwest Passage over the top of North America. He discovered the Inuit (previously named 'Eskimos' by early explorers) who he mistook for Asians.1577 - Martin Frobisher - Meta Incognita--- Frobisher's second voyage. The Arctic was claimed for England and named ' Meta Incognita ' ('Of Limits Unknown').1578 - Martin Frobisher - Gold Fever--- Frobisher's third voyage. Frobisher was to settle Meta Incognita and begin mining the gold. The first English attempt to settle Canada failed dismally when the 'gold' turned out to be iron pyrite.--- Troilus de Mesgouez, Marquis de la Roche, was appointed Viceroy of New France and was given the authority to colonize it. (see 1598)--- Aristocrat Humphrey Gilbert was granted a patent by Queen Elizabeth I to settle the New World. (see 1583)1582 - Ten Lost Days--- England adopted the Gregorian Calendar. As a result, October 4 was followed by October 15. Ten entire days in 1582 simply did not exist.1583 - Sir Humphrey Gilbert - First English Settlement--- Humphrey Gilbert settled at St. John's Harbour, Newfoundland and proclaimed himself Lord Paramount. His self-serving actions lead to the early downfall of the first English settlement Canada. (see 1578)1584--- Gilbert set sail to the south, but the ship carrying the maps and charts ran aground. Not able to continue, Gilbert turned back but his ship sank during a storm near the Azores. Gilbert was lost.

The Colombian Conflict began in the mid-1960s and is a low-intensity asymmetric war between Colombian governments , paramilitary groups , crime syndicates , and left-wing guerrillas such as the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia -LRB- FARC -RRB- , and the National Liberation Army -LRB- ELN -RRB- , fighting each other to increase their influence in Colombian territory . Two of the most important forces that have contributed to the Colombian conflict are multinational companies and the United States . It is historically rooted in the conflict known as La Violencia , which was triggered by the 1948 assassination of populist political leader Jorge Eliécer Gaitán , and in the aftermath of United States-backed strong anti-communist repression in rural Colombia in the 1960s that led liberal and communist militants to re-organize into FARC . The reasons for fighting vary from group to group . The FARC and other guerrilla movements claim to be fighting for the rights of the poor in Colombia to protect them from government violence and to provide social justice through communism . The Colombian government claims to be fighting for order and stability , and seeking to protect the rights and interests of its citizens . The paramilitary groups claim to be reacting to perceived threats by guerrilla movements . Both guerrilla and paramilitary groups have been accused of engaging in drug trafficking and terrorism . All of the parties engaged in the conflict have been criticized for numerous human rights violations . According to a study by Colombia 's National Centre for Historical Memory , 220,000 people have died in the conflict between 1958 and 2013 , most of them civilians -LRB- 177,307 civilians and 40,787 fighters -RRB- and more than five million civilians were forced from their homes between 1985 -- 2012 , generating the world 's second largest population of internally displaced persons -LRB- IDPs -RRB- . 16.9 % of the population in Colombia has been a direct victim of the war . 2.3 million children have been displaced from their homes , and 45,000 children killed , according to national figures cited by Unicef . In total , one in three of the 7.6 million registered victims of the conflict are children , and since 1985 , 8,000 minors have disappeared . Since the peace talks with the FARC began four years ago , some 1,000 children have been forcibly recruited by some of the myriad armed groups in the country , 75 have been killed , and 65 schools have been damaged by fighting . Colombian President Juan Manuel Santos said that a peace deal with the FARC by 20 July 2016 would end the conflict with this organization if the talks which started in 2012 were successfully concluded . On 23 June 2016 , the Colombian government and the FARC rebels signed a historic ceasefire deal , bringing them closer to ending more than five decades of conflict . However , on October 2 , 2016 , a majority of the Colombian public rejected the deal . In October 2016 , Juan Manuel Santos was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for his efforts to bring the country 's more than 50-year-long civil war to an end . The Colombian government and the FARC on November 24 signed a revised peace deal and the revised agreement was to be submitted to Congress for approval . The House of Representatives unanimously approved the plan on November 30 , a day after the Senate also gave its backing .

The Stars of the Classical Russian Ballet in the Summer Ballet Festival - BolshoiMoscow.com Hello. Returning customer? Sign in . New customer? Start here The Stars of the Classical Russian Ballet in the Summer Ballet Festival Russian State Ballet theatre Artistic Director: Viatcheslav Gordeev The "Russian State Ballet" theatre over 20 years remains one of the leading Russian ballet companies. The repertoire includes masterpieces of the world ballet classical repertoire and the best samples of modern choreography. The primary task of the "Russian State Ballet" is to preserve the heritage of the Russian and West-European choreography alongside with the seek for the newer forms of dancing. The "Russian State Ballet" has received international acknowledgement. It has been awarded by numerous prizes among which are "The Golden Ticket" � for the audiences of 100.000 people who visited the performances of the company during the just 2-months German tour, the "Most Grandioso Performance of the Year", the Association of West-European Impresario called the "Russian State Ballet" - "The Best Ballet Company of the Year". History Keeping a tradition alive. Creating the "Russian State Ballet" was the dream of Irina Tichomirova, the prima ballerina of the "Bolshoi Ballet" and Director of the Moscow Philharmonic Society. She was already 62 when her dream became reality in 1979.Talented stars from the famous Bolshoi, Kirov and Stanislavski ensembles joined her to take up the challenge of the project: to form a touring ensemble of the highest quality which would dance the message of Russian ballet into everybody�s heart all around the world . Under the "Bolshoi" star-soloist and choreographer Viatcheslav Gordeev �s leadership the "Russian State Ballet" was shaped into the high degree of artistic expression, gracefulness and body control we can enjoy today. Since a tour to the United States in 1987 attended by the former President Ronald Reagan the company has embarked on a series of international tours across the world. Also a lively response was encountered on various tours which led the ensemble through Mexico, Taiwan, The People�s Republic of China, Great Britain, Australia, Ireland and the Middle East. The "Russian State Ballet" now tours Europe every year and has become a wonderful part of the Christmas season not only in Germany. The company was honoured by the Association of West-European Impresarios as "the best touring ballet company of Europe". Several cities in the USA, France and Mexico have elected the dancers of the "Russian State Ballet" honorary citizens, and the people of New Orleans have a new public holiday: "The Russian State Ballet Day"! The "Russian State Ballet" presents an exciting and demanding programme of classical and modern ballet, created by traditional and new choreographers like Ivanov, Petipa, Gorsky or Gordeev himself. Especially Gordeev�s renderings of folk and pop songs, for example Lionel Richie�s "Hello", are always extremely well received by the audience. With its 50 soloists, of whom many are laureates of national and international ballet competitions, the "Russian State Ballet" is along with the "Bolshoi" and the "Kirov Ballets" the most famous Ballet world-wide. Even Mikhail Gorbachev as a great admirer of the "Russian State Ballet" has functioned as patron for some of the tours. Feedback If you need help or have a question for Customer Service, contact us .

A combination of urban and suburban development, the West Side is generally defined as the area west of I-10. Western Tucson encompasses the banks of the Santa Cruz River and the foothills of the Tucson Mountains, and includes the International Wildlife Museum, Sentinel Peak, and the Marriott Starr Pass Resort & Spa, located in the wealthy enclave known as Starr Pass. Moving past the Tucson Mountains, travelers find themselves in the area commonly referred to as "west of" Tucson or "Old West Tucson". A large undulating plain extending south into the Altar Valley, rural residential development predominates, but here you will also find major attractions including Saguaro National Park West, the Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum, and the Old Tucson Studios movie set/theme park.
John Donne There were musical settings of Donne's lyrics even during his lifetime. These included Alfonso Ferrabosco the younger ("So, so, leave off this last lamenting kisse" in his 1609 Ayres); John Cooper ("The Message"); Henry Lawes ("Break of Day"); " John Dowland ("Break of Day" and "To ask for all thy love"); and settings of "A Hymn to God the Father" by John Hilton the younger and Pelham Humfrey (1688). After the 17th century there were no more until the start of the 20th century with Havergal Brian ("A nocturnal on St Lucy's Day", first performed in 1905), Eleanor Everest Freer ("Break of Day, published in 1905) and Walford Davies ("The Cross", 1909) among the earliest. In 1945, Benjamin Britten set nine of Donne's Holy Sonnets in his song cycle for voice and piano The Holy Sonnets of John Donne. Lieder.net currently lists 162 settings of 62 texts by Donne.[39] One not recorded there is a version of the song "Go and Catch a Falling Star" on John Renbourn's debut album John Renbourn (1966) in which the last line is altered to "False, ere I count one, two, three"
There is a very active tradition of hunting of small to medium-sized wild game in Trinidad and Tobago. Hunting is carried out with firearms, and aided by the use of hounds, with the illegal use of trap guns, trap cages and snare nets. With approximately 12,000 sport hunters applying for hunting licences in recent years (in a very small country of about the size of the state of Delaware at about 5128 square kilometers and 1.3 million inhabitants), there is some concern that the practice might not be sustainable. In addition there are at present no bag limits and the open season is comparatively very long (5 months - October to February inclusive). As such hunting pressure from legal hunters is very high. Added to that, there is a thriving and very lucrative black market for poached wild game (sold and enthusiastically purchased as expensive luxury delicacies) and the numbers of commercial poachers in operation is unknown but presumed to be fairly high. As a result, the populations of the five major mammalian game species (red-rumped agouti, lowland paca, nine-banded armadillo, collared peccary, and red brocket deer) are thought to be quite low (although scientifically conducted population studies are only just recently being conducted as of 2013). It appears that the red brocket deer population has been extirpated on Tobago as a result of over-hunting. Various herons, ducks, doves, the green iguana, the gold tegu, the spectacled caiman and the common opossum are also commonly hunted and poached. There is also some poaching of 'fully protected species', including red howler monkeys and capuchin monkeys, southern tamanduas, Brazilian porcupines, yellow-footed tortoises, Trinidad piping guans and even one of the national birds, the scarlet ibis. Legal hunters pay very small fees to obtain hunting licences and undergo no official basic conservation biology or hunting-ethics training. There is presumed to be relatively very little subsistence hunting in the country (with most hunting for either sport or commercial profit). The local wildlife management authority is under-staffed and under-funded, and as such very little in the way of enforcement is done to uphold existing wildlife management laws, with hunting occurring both in and out of season, and even in wildlife sanctuaries. There is some indication that the government is beginning to take the issue of wildlife management more seriously, with well drafted legislation being brought before Parliament in 2015. It remains to be seen if the drafted legislation will be fully adopted and financially supported by the current and future governments, and if the general populace will move towards a greater awareness of the importance of wildlife conservation and change the culture of wanton consumption to one of sustainable management.

pH In chemistry, pH (/piːˈeɪtʃ/) is a logarithmic scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution. It is approximately the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration, measured in units of moles per liter, of hydrogen ions. More precisely it is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the activity of the hydrogen ion.[1] Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic. Pure water is neutral, at pH 7 (25 °C), being neither an acid nor a base. Contrary to popular belief, the pH value can be less than 0 or greater than 14 for very strong acids and bases respectively.[2]
Red Bull Red Bull is sold in a tall and slim blue-silver can.[6] Originally only available in a single nondescript flavor and regular or sugar-free formulas, a line of "color editions" with artificial fruit flavors were added to the line beginning in 2013.[7] The Red Bull company slogan is "Red Bull gives you wings".[8] Rather than following a traditional approach to mass marketing, Red Bull has generated awareness and created a 'brand myth'[9][10] through proprietary extreme sport event series such as Red Bull Cliff Diving World Series, Red Bull Air Race, Red Bull Crashed Ice and stand-out stunts such as the Stratos space diving project.[11]

Sliced bread is a loaf of bread that has been sliced with a machine and packaged for convenience. It was first sold in 1928, advertised as the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped. This led to the popular phrase, greatest thing since sliced bread. 1 History.
The Green Bay Packers season was the franchise's 94th season in the National Football League, the 95th overall and the eighth under head coach Mike McCarthy. The Packers came into the 2013 season looking to win the NFC North for the 3rd year in a row. They were coming off a 45-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. The Packers started the 2013 season with a rematch with the 49ers in San Francisco. They lost the game 34-28. After winning their home opener against the Redskins, they lost 34-30 in Cincinnati to the Bengals after they had a 30-14 lead in the 3rd quarter. After the loss, the Packers would win 4 games in a row to sit at 5-2 before losing a Monday Night game at home to the Bears 27-20. In that game, the Packers would lose star quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone in the 1st quarter. He would be replaced by Scott Tolzien and sometimes Matt Flynn. In week 12, the Packers tied the Vikings 26-26. It was Green Bay's first tie since 1987. The Packers would lose the next game 40-10 to the Lions on Thanksgiving to sit at 5-6-1, and looking like being on the verge of missing the postseason for the first time since 2008. The Packers would then beat the Falcons 22-21 to even their record at 6-6-1. The following week, the Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 37-36 in Dallas after they had trailed 26-3 at halftime. The comeback was the largest in franchise history. The Packers would then lose a shootout with the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-31 at home to sit at 7-7-1, the first meeting between the teams since Super Bowl XLV. The next week, the Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 33-28 at Soldier Field to clinch the NFC North in a game in which the winner would've clinched the division. The game was famously well known for a touchdown catch made by Randall Cobb from Aaron Rodgers with less than a minute remaining to seal the win. The play came on a 4th and 8 situation in which Cobb was wide open near the endzone. The Packers entered the playoffs as the 4 seed in the NFC. In the wild card game, they lost 23-20 in a rematch with the 49ers on a Phil Dawson field goal as time expired. The game was one of the coldest in NFL playoff history, with a final temperature of 5 °F (-15 °C)
In other cities, class conflict was more evident. Over a quarter of London's population had left the city by November 1940. Civilians left for more remote areas of the country. Upsurges in population south Wales and Gloucester intimated where these displaced people went. Other reasons, including industry dispersal may have been a factor. However, resentment of rich self-evacuees or hostile treatment of poor ones were signs of persistence of class resentments although these factors did not appear to threaten social order. The total number of evacuees numbered 1.4 million, including a high proportion from the poorest inner-city families. Reception committees were completely unprepared for the condition of some of the children. Far from displaying the nation's unity in time of war, the scheme backfired, often aggravating class antagonism and bolstering prejudice about the urban poor. Within four months, 88% of evacuated mothers, 86% of small children, and 43% of school children had been returned home. The lack of bombing in the Phoney War contributed significantly to the return of people to the cities, but class conflict was not eased a year later when evacuation operations had to be put into effect again.
Madagascar (franchise) DreamWorks Animation C.E.O. Jeffrey Katzenberg has stated that there is likely to be a fourth installment in the franchise.[1] However, in June 2012, DreamWorks Animation's head of worldwide marketing, Anne Globe, said, "It's too early to tell. There hasn't been a lot of discussion about that."[2] Eric Darnell, who co-directed all three films, spoke of the possibility of the fourth film, noting, "Two things have to happen. One is that the world has to want Madagascar 4, because if they don't want it, it doesn't matter what we do. And the other thing is even if the world wants Madagascar 4, we have to make sure that we have an idea that is incredible, that is great, that is unexpected. If the audience wants it and we have a great idea, we will see – maybe."[3] On June 12, 2014, the film was scheduled to be released on May 18, 2018.[4] In January 2015, Madagascar 4 was removed from the release schedule following corporate restructuring and DreamWorks Animation's new policy to release two films a year.[5][6] In April 2017, Tom McGrath said about the film: "There are things in the works, nothing is announced yet, but I think they'll show their faces once more..."[7]
Reviews Review from Mojo by John Harris In which success allows the trio to stretch out, cut down on the faux-punkery, grope towards a more grandiloquent musical language, and let their more experimental side run riot - as on the instrumental(ish) title track. Replete with the recorded debut of the strange Esperanto that Sting would gleefully employ on-stage ("Gee-yo, Gee-yo, Gee-yo-yo", indeed), it was edited down to under three minutes and brazenly picked as Track 2, and stands as a freeform try-out for the expansive art-pop that was becoming their metier (see also 'Walking On The Moon' and the effects-laden verses of 'Deathwish'). 'The Bed's Too Big Without You' is so stereotypically Police-esque that it verges on the self-parodic; better, by some distance, is 'Bring On The Night', equally representative of their debt to reggae, but taken somewhere compellingly different by Summers' African-ish guitar figures and doom-laden lyrics bound up with much-documented '70s anti-hero Gary Gilmore. Note also a trio of songs by Stewart Copeland: 'Contact', the paean to paranoia 'Does Everyone Stare' and 'On Any Other Day', and absurdist looks at suburban torpor that is hardly great art, but satirises new wave's accent on social realism to neat effect. Oh, and there's also the divine 'Message In A Bottle'. Review from the New Musical Express by Tony Stewart If people weren't so busy establishing joyless divisions of rock acceptability, creating slums of fashion and-ha! - credibility then people wouldn't hesitate to acknowledge that The Police are a great pop singles band. Reggatta de Blanc clarifies their position with considerably more emphasis than their debut, 'Outlandos d'Amour'. The most significant differences are that the second LP exploits their hits, shifts control from three to two of the group (at times developing into a duel between Sting and drummer Stewart Copeland); and perhaps because of this, often strips away the affectations of the most distinctive aspects of their style, revealing a mentality engrossed with '60s rock'n'roll. Not that it makes The Police any the less enjoyable, only that their brilliance is erratic over the length of an album, their uniqueness superficial and very much dependent on vocalist/bassist/image/hitman Sting. But his talent lies in the charisma of that dry, strained voice and his luck in occasionally concocting a pop melody and hooking that 'original' sound - original only because its origin is buried too deeply in peoples' subconscious to identify. Ironically, very little of Sting's personality managed to find its way onto this (or the previous) album, whereas Stewart Copeland - obviously intent on stating some kind of jellybellied Police democracy - injects his own idiocy into it. his three songs ('On Any Other Day' and 'Does Everyone Stare') ere unfunny attempts at humour the first a litany of domestic melodramas that could have been Soap out-takes; the second s contrived story of a misfit. Copeland's increasing dominance only shifts the power axis to the detriment of the band. His material stomps through the rudiments of traditional rock: a complete antipathy to what their best music suggests. Nevertheless he is still an integral Police-man because his joint compositions - 'Deathwish', based on a Bo Diddley beat, and Its Alright For You, a pure 50s/'60s headshaker - expose similar roots and fascinations. And whenever guitarist Andy Summers appears (rarely) by-gone techniques of shrill harmonics, sweet screaming and a mousey scratchiness are revived. Sting's bass also delves into past phrasebooks to the extent that his lines on 'No Time This Time' are straight from the old pop hit 'Judy In Disguise'. Lyrically there are similar traits, a lack of depth, freshness and insight. There isn't anything as excellent as 'Roxanne' on this LP, and even 'The Bed's Too Big Without You' a companion piece to 'Can't Stand Losing You' - is merely a lame expression of remorse, whereas 'Losing You' was a gem of snubbed petulance. Although Police music hardly withstands a critical stripping down, t

Second Amendment to the United States Constitution The Second Amendment (Amendment II) to the United States Constitution protects the right of the people to keep and bear arms and was adopted on December 15, 1791 as part of the Bill of Rights.[1][2][3][4] The Supreme Court has ruled that the right belongs to individuals for self-defense,[5][6] while also ruling that the right is not unlimited and does not prohibit long-standing bans from the possession "of firearms by felons or the mentally ill" of firearms or similar devices.[7][8] State and local governments are limited to the same extent as the federal government from infringing this right.[9]
Little House on the Prairie Little House on the Prairie is a series of American children's novels written by Laura Ingalls Wilder based on her childhood in the northern Midwestern United States during the 1870s and 1880s. Eight were completed by Wilder, and published by Harper & Brothers from 1932 and 1943, of which the last covers her courtship with Almanzo Wilder and one covers his childhood. The first draft of a ninth novel was published posthumously in 1971 and is commonly included in the Little House series.
Besides the schism, the western church was riven by theological controversies, some of which turned into heresies. John Wycliffe (d. 1384), an English theologian, was condemned as a heretic in 1415 for teaching that the laity should have access to the text of the Bible as well as for holding views on the Eucharist that were contrary to church doctrine. Wycliffe's teachings influenced two of the major heretical movements of the later Middle Ages: Lollardy in England and Hussitism in Bohemia. The Bohemian movement initiated with the teaching of Jan Hus, who was burned at the stake in 1415 after being condemned as a heretic by the Council of Constance. The Hussite church, although the target of a crusade, survived beyond the Middle Ages. Other heresies were manufactured, such as the accusations against the Knights Templar that resulted in their suppression in 1312 and the division of their great wealth between the French King Philip IV (r. 1285–1314) and the Hospitallers.

Congress often writes legislation to restrain executive officials to the performance of their duties, as laid out by the laws Congress passes. In INS v. Chadha (1983), the Supreme Court decided (a) The prescription for legislative action in Art. I, § 1—requiring all legislative powers to be vested in a Congress consisting of a Senate and a House of Representatives—and § 7—requiring every bill passed by the House and Senate, before becoming law, to be presented to the president, and, if he disapproves, to be repassed by two-thirds of the Senate and House—represents the Framers' decision that the legislative power of the Federal Government be exercised in accord with a single, finely wrought and exhaustively considered procedure. This procedure is an integral part of the constitutional design for the separation of powers. Further rulings clarified the case; even both Houses acting together cannot override Executive vetos without a 2⁄3 majority. Legislation may always prescribe regulations governing executive officers.

Jump Jim Crow "Jump Jim Crow" or "Jim Crow" (sometimes "John Crow") is a song and dance from 1828 that was done in blackface by white minstrel performer Thomas Dartmouth (T.D.) "Daddy" Rice. The song was supposedly inspired by the song and dance of the character Jim Crow, a physically disabled African slave (sometimes called Jim Cuff), who is variously claimed to have resided in St. Louis, Cincinnati, or Pittsburgh.[1][2] The song became a great 19th century hit and Rice performed all over the country as "Daddy Jim Crow".

Their new, monumental historical film, Lawrence of Arabia , with ten nominations and seven Oscars, was a blockbuster and deserving Best Film winner. The over three-hour long spectacle/epic of desert pageantry about the adventures of British officer and Arabian desert guerrilla leader T. E. Lawrence (1888-1935) who led the Arab revolt against the Turks in 1917, was derived from Robert Bolt's screenplay. [This was the first of four British-made films that won the top Best Picture Oscar in the decade of the 1960s. The other three were Tom Jones (1963), A Man For All Seasons (1966), and Oliver! (1968).] The 1962 Best Picture winner's seven awards included Best Picture, Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Art Direction, Best Sound, Best Film Editing, and Best Musical Score. Naturally, one of its Oscars was for the photography of its magnificent locale - the desert. It remains the only Best Picture winner to have credited roles for actors of only one gender. There was not a single female speaking role - except for a camel named Gladys! It was Spiegel's third Oscar for Best Picture (earlier wins for the producer were for On The Waterfront (1954) and The Bridge On The River Kwai (1957) ). From the 1951 Academy Awards through to the present, according to the Academy's rules, the Best Picture nomination went to the individual producer(s) credited on the film, not to the production company or studio that produced the film. Note: Spiegel became (and remains) the only producer to have his name - and his name only - associated with three Best Picture Oscars, due to this Oscar win. The other Best Picture nominees included: Darryl F. Zanuck's 20th Century Fox epic production based on Cornelius Ryan's book, The Longest Day (with five nominations and two wins), another star-studded, documentary-style action/war film about the preparations and events of the Normandy/D-Day Allied landings on June 6
The patron saint of Palermo is Santa Rosalia, who is widely revered. On 14 July, people in Palermo celebrate the annual Festino, the most important religious event of the year. The Festino is a procession which goes through the main street of Palermo to commemorate the miracle attributed to Santa Rosalia who, it is believed, freed the city from the Black Death in 1624. Her remains were discovered in a cave on Monte Pellegrino, and her remains were carried around the city three times, banishing the plague. There is a sanctuary marking the spot where her remains were found which can be reached via a scenic bus ride from the city.
Namibia \| South African History Online South African History Online View full archive Namibia, a former German colony, is situated towards the north west of South Africa. The Orange River marks the border between the two countries. The country is about 800 000 square kilometers big and borders on Angola to the north and Botswana in the east. The Caprivi Strip, which stretches off its northern edge, extends between Botswana and Zambia. The first European that landed in Namibia was the Portuguese explorer Diogo Cão, who came ashore north of Swakopmund at Cape Cross in 1484. Parts of Namibia are notoriously dry and much of the country is made up of the Namib Desert and the Kalahari. Towards the north the country becomes greener with the Etosha Pan filling with water from northern rivers. This area is rich in diverse wildlife. The Skeleton Coast marks the area where the Namib meets the Atlantic Ocean and is littered with wrecks of ships that ran ashore in the treacherous waters, whalebone shelters used by the San and ghost towns that boomed during the early diamond days. Due to its harsh environment Namibia is sparsely populated with various different groups. Its population is made up of San, Damaras, Ovambos, Namas, Hereros, Oorlams, Kavangos, East Caprivians, Rehoboth Basters, Kaokovelders, Tswanas and European settlers, mostly German. The country is rich in natural resources and its main mineral products are copper, diamonds, gold, lead and uranium. The South African and Portuguese governments jointly developed the Kunene hydroelectric scheme in 1969. Fishing is also a prominent industry in Namibia, but exploitation of the rich marine resources led to the near extinction of pilchards and anchovies in the 1960s and 70s. Strict controls were put in place and the numbers of fish have steadily increased since then. In 1885 the Chancellor of the German Empire, Bismarck, held a convention in Berlin where European powers divided Africa among themselves. This was called the “Scramble for Africa”. In 1886 the border between Angola and what would become German South West Africa was negotiated between the German and Portuguese nations. In 1890 the first German military fort was built at Windhoek and, in July of the same year, the British government also apportioned the Caprivi Strip to the Germans. This would give Germany access to the Zambezi River and its other East African territories, and it would give up its claims on Zanzibar. The reason Germany selected Namibia as its “protectorate” was influenced by the fact that a tobacco merchant from Bremen, Franz Luderitz, bought up coastal land in the area in 1882. This resulted in Germany actively establishing itself in the African country by 1884. They occupied Herero lands. Initially the Herero accepted the “treaties of protection”, but the Nama people resisted. In 1888 the Germans confiscated Herero lands and large numbers of their cattle. The aim was to turn South West Africa into a settler colony. In 1890 German soldiers attacked the Nama and by 1892, despite efforts by the Nama and Herero to put up a united front, they were crushed. By the beginning of the twentieth century African resistance become the central theme under local leaders. German forces were still occupied in crushing the 1903 Bondelswarts Uprising and were hard pressed when the Herero rose in revolt in 1904. Once reinforcements arrived with superior guns German troops defeated them. The new German commander-in-chief, General Lothar von Trotha, ordered the extermination of all Herero people. Pursued by German troops they fled into the desert, into northern Ovamboland and into eastern Bechuanaland, or Botswana. While the German troops were destroying the Herero, the Portuguese launched a new offensive against the northern Ovambo. In 1905 the Nama, who responded a band of guerrilla fighters. After a year of fierce fighting, Witbooi was killed in action but Jacob Marengo continued to lead the Nama resistance for a further two years. In 1907, the death of Marengo brought about the end of the war of resistance. Many

Asphalt/bitumen is similar to the organic matter in carbonaceous meteorites. However, detailed studies have shown these materials to be distinct. The vast Alberta bitumen resources are believed to have started out as living material from marine plants and animals, mainly algae, that died millions of years ago when an ancient ocean covered Alberta. They were covered by mud, buried deeply over the eons, and gently cooked into oil by geothermal heat at a temperature of 50 to 150 °C (120 to 300 °F). Due to pressure from the rising of the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Alberta, 80 to 55 million years ago, the oil was driven northeast hundreds of kilometres into underground sand deposits left behind by ancient river beds and ocean beaches, thus forming the oil sands.

Inspector Morse Inspector Morse Last Bus to Woodstock (1975) Created by Edit Block Morse (left) as played by John Thaw in the television adaptation, with Lewis (right) as played by Kevin Whately. Inspector Morse is a fictional character in the eponymous series of detective novels by British author Colin Dexter, as well as the 33-episode 1987–2000 television adaptation of the same name, in which the character was portrayed by John Thaw. Morse is a senior CID (Criminal Investigation Department) officer with the Thames Valley Police in Oxford, UK. With a Jaguar car (originally a Lancia), a thirst for British real ale and a penchant for music (especially opera and Wagner), poetry, art, classics, classic cars, and cryptic crossword puzzles, Morse presents a likeable persona, despite his sullen temperament. Name and family Edit Block Morse's first name, "Endeavour", was kept a secret until the end of Death is Now My Neighbour (traditionally Morse claimed that he should be called "Morse" or joked that his first name was "Inspector"). In the series it is noted that his reticence about his Christian name led to a public school (Stamford School, where Colin Dexter and his brother were both pupils) nickname of "Pagan". The origin of his name is the vessel HMS Endeavour, as Morse's mother was a Quaker (Quakers have a tradition of "virtue names") and his father was a fan of Captain James Cook. The author of the Morse novels, Colin Dexter, is a fan of cryptic crosswords, and Morse is named after champion solver Jeremy Morse, one of Dexter's arch-rivals as a clue-writer in the crossword world. During the episode "Cherubim and Seraphim", it is learned that Morse's parents divorced when he was 12. He remained with his mother until her death three years later, when he had to return to his father. He had a dreadful relationship with his stepmother, Gwen, and claimed he only read poetry to annoy her and that her petty bullying almost drove him to suicide. He has a half-sister, Joyce, with whom he is on better terms, and was devastated when Joyce's daughter, Marilyn, took her own life. Habits and personality Edit Block Morse is ostensibly the embodiment of white, male, upper-middle-class Britishness, with a set of prejudices and assumptions to match. He may thus be considered a late example of the gentleman detective, a staple of British detective fiction. This background is in sharp juxtaposition to the working class origins of his assistant, Lewis (named for another rival clue-writer, Mrs. B. Lewis); in the novels, Lewis is Welsh, but this was altered to a northern English (Geordie) background in the TV series. He is also middle-aged in the books. Morse's relationships with authority, the establishment, bastions of power and the status quo are markedly ambiguous, as sometimes are his relations with women. Morse is frequently portrayed in the act of patronising women characters, to the extent that some feminist critics have argued that Morse is a misogynist. Fundamentally, however, he is portrayed as a compassionate and egalitarian figure. Morse is an extremely intelligent individual. He dislikes spelling errors and grammatical mistakes, demonstrated by the fact that in every personal or private document written to him he manages to point out at least one spelling mistake. He claims his approach to crime-solving is deductive and one of his key tenets is that "there is a 50 per cent chance that the last person to see the victim alive was the murderer". In reality, it is the pathologists who deduce; Morse uses immense intuition and his fantastic memory to get to the killer. Career Edit Block Although details of Morse's career are deliberately kept vague, it is hinted that as a schoolboy he won a scholarship to study at St John's College, Oxford. He lost the scholarship as the result of poor academic performance, which in turn resulted from a failed love affair (mentioned in the series at the end of "The Last Enemy" and in the novel The Riddle of the Third Mile). Forced to leave the University, he entered the Army, and on leaving it, joined th

Warner Bros. Bans 'Dukes of Hazzard' Car With Confederate Flag - Rolling Stone Warner Bros. Bans 'Dukes of Hazzard' Car With Confederate Flag Warner Bros. Bans 'Dukes of Hazzard' Car With Confederate Flag Decision to halt production on symbol-bearing General Lee comes after online retailers ban Confederate flag merchandise A 1969 Dodge Charger, dubbed "The General Lee" from the TV series "The Dukes of Hazzard", is displayed during the 37th Annual Barrett-Jackson Collector Cars auction in Scottsdale, Arizona on January 16th, 2008. Credit: Gabriel Bouys/AFP/Getty All Stories Following South Carolina Governor Nikki Haley's call to remove the Confederate flag from the state capitol, some of the nation's biggest retailers have similarly promised to stop selling items bearing that symbol. Now, one of pop culture's most visible uses of the Confederate flag – the General Lee, an orange Dodge Charger from the TV series The Dukes of Hazzard – is about to get a makeover. According to Vulture , the lone company that was licensed to reproduce the Confederate flag-branded General Lee as a toy will no longer make that item. More News Charleston's History of Hellish Violence Dylann Roof fits into a long tradition of violent racism in South Carolina Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) is responsible for licensing the rights to Duke of Hazzard merchandise. "Warner Bros. Consumer Products has one licensee producing die-cast replicas and vehicle model kits featuring the General Lee with the confederate flag on its roof — as it was seen in the TV series" a WBCP spokesman said. "We have elected to cease the licensing of these product categories." However, the General Lee – with its Confederate flag plastered atop its cabin – will continue to have a presence on television, as The Dukes of Hazzard is still popular in syndication, especially on cable network CMT. Warner Bros.' decision to stop the license on Confederate flag-bearing General Lee replicas comes just days after Walmart, Sears, eBay, Google Shopping and Etsy all announced they would stop selling items that featured the Confederate flag; soon after, Amazon stepped up their efforts to remove all items bearing that symbol on their online marketplace. However, the sudden purge of items branded with the Confederate Flag has also resulted in a sales surge as collectors stock up before that merchandise ultimately becomes unavailable, the New York Times reports . "We have decided to prohibit Confederate flags and many items containing this image because we believe it has become a contemporary symbol of divisiveness and racism," eBay said in a statement. In the case of Amazon, that company eventually agreed to remove Confederate merchandise after they were barraged social media by users promoting the hashtag #TakeItDown.
