Bone marrow Bone marrow is the flexible tissue in the interior of bones. In humans, red blood cells are produced by cores of bone marrow in the heads of long bones in a process known as hematopoiesis.[2] On average, bone marrow constitutes 4% of the total body mass of humans; in an adult having 65 kilograms of mass (143 lb), bone marrow typically accounts for approximately 2.6 kilograms (5.7 lb). The hematopoietic component of bone marrow produces approximately 500 billion blood cells per day, which use the bone marrow vasculature as a conduit to the body's systemic circulation.[3] Bone marrow is also a key component of the lymphatic system, producing the lymphocytes that support the body's immune system.[4] In addition to hematopoietic cells, the marrow is composed of marrow adipose tissue as well as trabecular bone. The interplay between these different cell types and the local factors they produce can have an effect on hematopoietic cells within the hematopoietic stem cell niche.

List of Super Bowl champions The Pittsburgh Steelers (6–2) have won the most Super Bowls with six championships, while the New England Patriots (5–5), the Dallas Cowboys (5–3), and the San Francisco 49ers (5–1) have five wins. New England has the most Super Bowl appearances with ten, while the Buffalo Bills (0–4) have the most consecutive appearances with four (all losses) from 1990 to 1993. The Miami Dolphins are the only other team to have at least three consecutive appearances: 1972–1974. The Denver Broncos (3–5) and Patriots have each lost a record five Super Bowls. The Minnesota Vikings (0–4) and the Bills have lost four. The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises: the Green Bay Packers (1966–1967), the Miami Dolphins (1972–1973), the Pittsburgh Steelers (1974–1975 and 1978–1979, the only team to accomplish this feat twice), the San Francisco 49ers (1988–1989), the Dallas Cowboys (1992–1993), the Denver Broncos (1997–1998), and the New England Patriots (2003–2004). Among those, Dallas (1992–1993; 1995) and New England (2001; 2003–2004) are the only teams to win three out of four consecutive Super Bowls. The 1972 Dolphins capped off the only perfect season in NFL history with their victory in Super Bowl VII. The only team with multiple Super Bowl appearances and no losses is the Baltimore Ravens, who in winning Super Bowl XLVII defeated and replaced the 49ers in that position. Four current NFL teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl, including franchise relocations and renaming: the Cleveland Browns, Detroit Lions, Jacksonville Jaguars, and Houston Texans, though both the Browns (1964) and Lions (1957) had won NFL championship games prior to the creation of the Super Bowl.

(September 2012) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)A time zone is a region of the globe that observes a uniform standard time for legal, commercial, and social purposes. Time zones tend to follow the boundaries of countries and their subdivisions because it is convenient for areas in close commercial or other communication to keep the same time. Most of the time zones on land are offset from Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) by a whole number of hours (UTC−12 to UTC+14), but a few zones are offset by 30 or 45 minutes (e.g. Newfoundland Standard Time is UTC−03:30, Nepal Standard Time is UTC+05:45, and Indian Standard Time is UTC+05:30). Some higher latitude and temperate zone countries use daylight saving time for part of the year, typically by adjusting local clock time by an hour. Many land time zones are skewed toward the west of the corresponding nautical time zones. This also creates a permanent daylight saving time effect.

When well-regulated mechanical clocks became widespread in the early 19th century, [1] each city began to use some local mean solar time. Apparent and mean solar time can differ by up to around 15 minutes (as described by the equation of time) because of the elliptical shape of the Earth's orbit around the Sun ( eccentricity) and the tilt of the Earth's axis ( obliquity ). Mean solar time has days of equal length, and the difference between the two sums to zero after a year. Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) was established in 1675, when the Royal Observatory was built, as an aid to mariners to determine longitude at sea, providing a standard reference time while each city in England kept a different local time. Railway time Plaque commemorating the Railway General Time Convention of 1883 in North America Local solar time became increasingly inconvenient as rail transport and telecommunications improved, because clocks differed between places by amounts corresponding to the differences in their geographical longitudes, which varied by four minutes of time for every degree of longitude. For example, Bristol is about 2.5 degrees west of Greenwich (East London ), so when it is solar noon in Bristol, it is about 10 minutes past solar noon in London. [2] The use of time zones accumulates these differences into longer units, usually hours, so that nearby places can share a common standard for timekeeping. The first adoption of a standard time was on December 1, 1847, in Great Britain by railway companies using GMT kept by portable chronometers. The first of these companies to adopt standard time was the Great Western Railway (GWR) in November 1840. This quickly became known as Railway Time. About August 23, 1852, time signals were first transmitted by telegraph from the Royal Observatory, Greenwich. Even though 98% of Great Britain's public clocks were using GMT by 1855, it was not made Britain's legal time until August 2, 1880. Some British clocks from this period have two minute hands—one for the local time, one for GMT. [3]Improvements in worldwide communication further increased the need for interacting parties to communicate mutually comprehensible time references to one another. The problem of differing local times could be solved across larger areas by synchronizing clocks worldwide, but in many places that adopted time would then differ markedly from the solar time to which people were accustomed. On November 2, 1868, the then British colony of New Zealand officially adopted a standard time to be observed throughout the colony, and was perhaps the first country to do so. It was based on the longitude 172°30′ East of Greenwich, that is 11 hours 30 minutes ahead of GMT. This standard was known as New Zealand Mean Time. [4]Timekeeping on the American railroads in the mid-19th century was somewhat confused. Each railroad used its own standard time, usually based on the local time of its headquarters or most important terminus, and the railroad's train schedules were published using its own time. Some junctions served by several railroads had a clock for each railroad, each showing a different time.1913 time zone map of the United States, showing boundaries very different from today Charles F. Dowd proposed a system of one-hour standard time zones for American railroads about 1863, although he published nothing on the matter at that time and did not consult railroad officials until 1869. In 1870 he proposed four ideal time zones (having north–south borders), the first centered on Washington, D. C., but by 1872 the first was centered on the meridian 75° W of Greenwich, with geographic borders (for example, sections of the Appalachian Mountains ). Dowd's system was never accepted by American railroads. Instead, U. S. and Canadian railroads implemented a version proposed by William F. Allen, the editor of the Traveler's Official Railway Guide. [5] The borders of its time zones ran through railroad stations, often in major cities. For example, the border between its Eastern and Central time zones ran through Detroit, Buffalo, Pittsburgh, Atlanta, and Charleston. It was inaugurated on Sunday, November 18, 1883, also called "The Day of Two Noons", [6] when each railroad station clock was reset as standard-time noon was reached within each time zone. The zones were named Intercolonial, Eastern, Central, Mountain, and Pacific. Within a year 85% of all cities with populations over 10,000, about 200 cities, were using standard time. [7] A notable exception was Detroit (which is about halfway between the meridians of eastern time and central time) which kept local time until 1900, then tried Central Standard Time, local mean time, and Eastern Standard Time before a May 1915 ordinance settled on EST and was ratified by popular vote in August 1916. The confusion of times came to an end when Standard zone time was formally adopted by the U. S. Congress in the Standard Time Act of March 19, 1918.

Unsourced material may be challenged and removed. (August 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Although the first person to propose a worldwide system of time zones was the Italian mathematician Quirico Filopanti in his book Miranda! published in 1858, his idea was unknown outside the pages of his book until long after his death, so it did not influence the adoption of time zones during the 19th century. He proposed 24 hourly time zones, which he called "longitudinal days", the first centred on the meridian of Rome. He also proposed a universal time to be used in astronomy and telegraphy. [8] [9]Scottish-born Canadian Sir Sandford Fleming proposed a worldwide system of time zones in 1879. He advocated his system at several international conferences, and is thus credited with the instigation of "the initial effort that led to the adoption of the present time meridians." [10] In 1876, his first proposal was for a global 24-hour clock, conceptually located at the centre of the Earth and not linked to any surface meridian. In 1879 he specified that his universal day would begin at the anti-meridian of Greenwich ( 180th meridian ), while conceding that hourly time zones might have some limited local use. He also proposed his system at the International Meridian Conference in October 1884, but it did not adopt his time zones because they were not within its purview. The conference did adopt a universal day of 24 hours beginning at Greenwich midnight, but specified that it "shall not interfere with the use of local or standard time where desirable". By about 1900, almost all time on Earth was in the form of standard time zones, only some of which used an hourly offset from GMT. Many applied the time at a local astronomical observatory to an entire country, without any reference to GMT. It took many decades before all time on Earth was in the form of time zones referred to some "standard offset" from GMT/UTC. By 1929, most major countries had adopted hourly time zones. Nepal was the last country to adopt a standard offset, shifting slightly to UTC+5:45 in 1986. Today, all nations use standard time zones for secular purposes, but they do not all apply the concept as originally conceived. North Korea, Newfoundland, India, Iran, Afghanistan, Burma, Sri Lanka, the Marquesas, as well as parts of Australia use half-hour deviations from standard time, and some nations, such as Nepal, and some provinces, such as the Chatham Islands of New Zealand, use quarter-hour deviations. Some countries, such as China and India, use a single time zone even though the extent of their territory far exceeds 15° of longitude. Notation of time ISO 8601Main article: ISO 8601ISO 8601 is an international standard that defines unambiguous and well-defined methods of representing dates and times in textual form, including specifications for representing time zones. UTCIf a time is in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC), a "Z" is added directly after the time without a separating space. "Z" is the zone designator for the zero UTC offset. "09:30 UTC" is therefore represented as "09:30Z" or "0930Z". Likewise, "14:45:15 UTC" is written as "14:45:15Z" or "144515Z". UTC time is also known as "Zulu" time, since "Zulu" is a phonetic alphabet code word for the letter "Z". Offsets from UTCOffsets from UTC are written in the format ± [hh]: [mm], ± [hh] [mm], or ± [hh] (either hours ahead or behind UTC). For example, if the time being described is one hour ahead of UTC (such as the time in Berlin during the winter), the zone designator would be "+01:00", "+0100", or simply "+01". This numeric representation of time zones is appended to local times in the same way that alphabetic time zone abbreviations (or "Z", as above) are appended. The offset from UTC changes with daylight saving time, e.g. a time offset in Chicago, which is in the North American Central Time Zone, is " −06:00 " for the winter (Central Standard Time) and " −05:00 " for the summer (Central Daylight Time). Abbreviations Main article: List of time zone abbreviations Time zones are often represented by alphabetic abbreviations such as "EST", "WST", and "CST", but these are not part of the international time and date standard ISO 8601 and their use as sole designator for a time zone is discouraged. Such designations can be ambiguous; for example, "ECT" could be interpreted as "Eastern Caribbean Time" (UTC−4h), "Ecuador Time" (UTC−5h), or "European Central Time" (UTC+1h).

earlier. Some examples when UTC is 23:00 on Monday when or where daylight saving time is not in effect: Cairo, Egypt: UTC+02; 01:00 on Tuesday Wellington, New Zealand: UTC+12; 11:00 on Tuesday Some examples when UTC is 02:00 on Tuesday when or where daylight saving time is not in effect: Honolulu, Hawaii, United States: UTC−10; 16:00 on Monday Toronto, Ontario, Canada: UTC−05; 21:00 on Monday The time-zone adjustment for a specific location may vary because of daylight saving time. For example, New Zealand, which is usually UTC+12, observes a one-hour daylight saving time adjustment during the Southern Hemisphere summer, resulting in a local time of UTC+13. Time zone conversions [ show] Time of day by zone Conversion between time zones obeys the relationship"time in zone A" − "UTC offset for zone A" = "time in zone B" − "UTC offset for zone B",in which each side of the equation is equivalent to UTC. (The more familiar term "UTC offset" is used here rather than the term "zone designator" used by the standard. )The conversion equation can be rearranged to"time in zone B" = "time in zone A" − "UTC offset for zone A" + "UTC offset for zone B". For example, what time is it in Los Angeles ( PST, UTC offset= −08) when the New York Stock Exchange opens at 09:30 ( EST, −05)?time in Los Angeles = 09:30 − (−05:00) + (−08:00) = 06:30. In Delhi ( IST, UTC offset= +5:30), the New York Stock Exchange opens attime in Delhi = 09:30 − (−05:00) + (+5:30) = 20:00. These calculations become more complicated near a daylight saving boundary (because the UTC offset for zone X is a function of the UTC time). The table "Time of day by zone" gives an overview on the time relations between different zones. Nautical time zones Main article: Nautical time Since the 1920s a nautical standard time system has been in operation for ships on the high seas. Nautical time zones are an ideal form of the terrestrial time zone system. Under the system, a time change of one hour is required for each change of longitude by 15°. The 15° gore that is offset from GMT or UT1 (not UTC) by twelve hours is bisected by the nautical date line into two 7.5° gores that differ from GMT by ±12 hours. A nautical date line is implied but not explicitly drawn on time zone maps. It follows the 180th meridian except where it is interrupted by territorial waters adjacent to land, forming gaps: it is a pole-to-pole dashed line. [12] [13] [14]A ship within the territorial waters of any nation would use that nation's standard time, but would revert to nautical standard time upon leaving its territorial waters. The captain is permitted to change the ship's clocks at a time of the captain's choice following the ship's entry into another time zone. The captain often chooses midnight. Ships going in shuttle traffic over a time zone border often keep the same time zone all the time, to avoid confusion about work, meal, and shop opening hours. Still the time table for port calls must follow the land time zone. Skewing of zones Difference between sun time and clock time during daylight saving time:1h ± 30 min behind0h ± 30m1h ± 30m ahead2h ± 30m ahead3h ± 30m ahead DST observed DST formerly observed DST never observed Ideal time zones, such as nautical time zones, are based on the mean solar time of a particular meridian located in the middle of that zone with boundaries located 7.5 degrees east and west of the meridian. In practice, zone boundaries are often drawn much farther to the west with often irregular boundaries, and some locations base their time on meridians located far to the east. For example, even though the Prime Meridian (0°) passes through Spain and France, they use the mean solar time of 15 degrees east ( Central European Time) rather than 0 degrees (Greenwich Mean Time). France previously used GMT, but was switched to CET (Central European Time) during the German occupation of the country during World War II and did not switch back after the war. [15] Similarly, prior to World War II, the Netherlands observed "Amsterdam Time", which was twenty minutes ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. They were obliged to follow German time during the war, and kept it thereafter. In the mid 1970s the Netherlands, as with other European states, began observing daylight saving (summer) time. There is a tendency to draw time zone boundaries far to the west of their meridians. The main reason for this is that similar working day schedules around the world have led to people rising on average at 07:00 clock time and going to bed at 23:00 clock time [ citation needed]. Another reason is that it can allow the more efficient use of sunlight. [16] This means that the middle of the period that people are awake (" awake time noon ") occurs at 15:00 (= [7 + 23]/2) clock time, whereas - if using as clock time the time of the nautical time zone to which the location concerned geographically belongs - solar noon occurs at 12:00 (+/- 30 min) clock time. To make solar noon coincide more with awake time noon (i.e. make the sun reach its highest point closer to 15:00 clock time rather than 12:00 clock time), the time of one or even two nautical time zones to the east is chosen [ citation needed]. Many of these locations also use DST, adding yet another nautical time zone to the east. As a result, [note 1] in summer, solar noon in the Spanish town of Muxía occurs at 14:37 clock time, indeed very close to awake time noon (15:00). This westernmost area of continental Spain never experiences sunset before 18:00 clock time, even in midwinter, despite its lying more than 40 degrees north of the equator. Near the summer solstice, Muxia has sunset times (after 22:00) similar to those of Stockholm, which is in the same time zone and 16 degrees further north. Stockholm has much earlier sunrises, though. A more extreme example is Nome, Alaska, which is at 165°24′W longitude—just west of center of the idealized Samoa Time Zone ( 165°W ). Nevertheless, Nome observes Alaska Time ( 135°W) with DST so it is slightly more than two hours ahead of the sun in winter and over three in summer. [17] Kotzebue, Alaska, also near the same meridian but north of the Arctic Circle, has an annual event on August 9 to celebrate two sunsets in the same 24-hour day, one shortly after midnight at the start of the day, and the other shortly before midnight at the end of the day. Also, China extends as far west as 73°34′E, but all parts of it use UTC+08:00 ( 120°E ), so solar "noon" can occur as late as 15:00 in western portions of China such as Xinjiang and Tibet. Daylight saving time Main article: Daylight saving time Many countries, and sometimes just certain regions of countries, adopt daylight saving time (also known as "Summer Time") during part of the year. This typically involves advancing clocks by an hour near the start of spring and adjusting back in autumn ("spring forward", "fall back"). Modern DST was first proposed in 1907 and was in widespread use in 1916 as a wartime measure aimed at conserving coal. Despite controversy, many countries have used it off and on since then; details vary by location and change occasionally. Most countries around the equator do not observe daylight saving time, since the seasonal difference in sunlight is minimal. Computer systems and the Internet Computer operating systems include the necessary support for working with all (or almost all) possible local times based on the various time zones. Internally, operating systems typically use UTC as their basic time-keeping standard, while providing services for converting local times to and from UTC, and also the ability to automatically change local time conversions at the start and end of daylight saving time in the various time zones. (See the article on daylight saving time for more details on this aspect). Web servers presenting web pages primarily for an audience in a single time zone or a limited range of time zones typically show times as a local time, perhaps with UTC time in brackets. More internationally oriented websites may show times in UTC only or using an arbitrary time zone. For example, the international English-language version of CNN includes GMT and Hong Kong Time, [18] whereas the US version shows Eastern Time. [19] US Eastern Time and Pacific Time are also used fairly commonly on many US-based English-language websites with global readership. The format is typically based in the W3C Note "datetime". Email systems and other messaging systems ( IRC chat, etc.) [20] time-stamp messages using UTC, or else include the sender's time zone as part of the message, allowing the receiving program to display the message's date and time of sending in the recipient's local time. Database records that include a time stamp typically use UTC, especially when the database is part of a system that spans multiple time zones. The use of local time for time-stamping records is not recommended for time zones that implement daylight saving time because once a year there is a one-hour period when local times are ambiguous. Calendar systems nowadays usually tie their time stamps to UTC, and show them differently on computers that are in different time zones. That works when having telephone or internet meetings. It works less well when travelling, because the calendar events are assumed to take place in the time zone the computer or smartphone was on when creating the event. The event can be shown at the wrong time. For example, if a New Yorker plans to meet someone in Los Angeles at 9 AM, and makes a calendar entry at 9 AM (which the computer assumes is New York time), the calendar entry will be at 6 AM if taking the computer's time zone. There is also an option in newer versions of Microsoft Outlook to enter the time zone in which an event will happen, but often not in other calendar systems. Calendaring software must also deal with daylight saving time (DST). If, for political reasons, the begin and end dates of daylight saving time are changed, calendar entries should stay the same in local time, even though they may shift in UTC time. In Microsoft Outlook, time stamps are therefore stored and communicated without DST offsets. [21] Hence, an appointment in London at noon in the summer will be represented as 12:00 (UTC+00:00) even though the event will actually take place at 13:00 UTC. In Google Calendar, calendar events are stored in UTC (although shown in local time) and might be changed by a time-zone changes, [22] although normal daylight saving start and end are compensated for (similar to much other calendar software).

(August 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Unix Main article: Unix time Most Unix-like systems, including Linux and Mac OS X, keep system time as UTC (Coordinated Universal Time). Rather than having a single time zone set for the whole computer, timezone offsets can vary for different processes. Standard library routines are used to calculate the local time based on the current timezone, normally supplied to processes through the TZ environment variable. This allows users in multiple timezones to use the same computer, with their respective local times displayed correctly to each user. Time zone information most commonly comes from the IANA time zone database. In fact, many systems, including anything using the GNU C Library, can make use of this database. Microsoft Windows Windows -based computer systems prior to Windows 2000 used local time, but Windows 2000 and later can use UTC as the basic system time. [23] The system registry contains time zone information that includes the offset from UTC and rules that indicate the start and end dates for daylight saving in each zone. Interaction with the user normally uses local time, and application software is able to calculate the time in various zones. Terminal Servers allow remote computers to redirect their time zone settings to the Terminal Server so that users see the correct time for their time zone in their desktop/application sessions. Terminal Services uses the server base time on the Terminal Server and the client time zone information to calculate the time in the session. Programming languages Java While most application software will use the underlying operating system for timezone information, the Java Platform, from version 1.3.1, has maintained its own timezone database. This database is updated whenever timezone rules change. Oracle provides an updater tool for this purpose. [24]As an alternative to the timezone information bundled with the Java Platform, programmers may choose to use the Joda-Time library. [25] This library includes its own timezone data based on the IANA time zone database. [26]As of Java 8 new DATE TIME API is there that can help converting timezones. Java 8 Date Time Java Script There is very little in the way of timezone support for Java Script. Essentially the programmer has to extract the UTC offset by instantiating a time object, getting a GMT time from it, and differencing the two. This does not provide a solution for daylight saving variations. Perl The Date Time object supports all time zones in the Olson DB and includes the ability to get, set and convert between time zones. [27]PHPThe Date Time objects and related functions have been compiled into the PHP core since 5.2. This includes the ability to get and set the default script timezone, and Date Time is aware of its own timezone internally. PHP.net provides extensive documentation on this. [28] As noted there, the most current timezone database can be implemented via the PECL timezonedb. Python The standard module datetime stores and operates on the timezone information class tzinfo. The third party pytz module provides access to the full IANA time zone database. [29] Negated time zone offset in seconds is stored time.timezone and time.altzone attributes. Smalltalk Each Smalltalk dialect comes with its own built-in classes for dates, times and timestamps, only a few of which implement the Date And Time and Duration classes as specified by the ANSI Smalltalk Standard. Visual Works provides a Time Zone class that supports up to two annually recurring offset transitions, which are assumed to apply to all years (same behavior as Windows time zones). Squeak provides a Timezone class that does not support any offset transitions. Dolphin Smalltalk does not support time zones at all. For full support of the tz database (zoneinfo) in a Smalltalk application (including support for any number of annually recurring offset transitions, and support for different intra-year offset transition rules in different years) the third-party, open-source, ANSI-Smalltalk-compliant Chronos Date/Time Library is available for use with any of the following Smalltalk dialects: Visual Works, Squeak, Gemstone, or Dolphin.

(September 2015) ( Learn how and when to remove this template message)Orbiting spacecraft typically experience many sunrises and sunsets in a 24-hour period, or in the case of Apollo program astronauts travelling to the moon, none. Thus it is not possible to calibrate time zones with respect to the sun, and still respect a 24-hour sleep/wake cycle. A common practice for space exploration is to use the Earth-based time zone of the launch site or mission control. This keeps the sleeping cycles of the crew and controllers in sync. The International Space Station normally uses Greenwich Mean Time (GMT). [31] [32]Timekeeping on Mars can be more complex, since the planet has a solar day of approximately 24 hours and 39 minutes, known as a sol. Earth controllers for some Mars missions have synchronized their sleep/wake cycles with the Martian day, [33] because solar-powered rover activity on the surface was tied to periods of light and dark. The difference in day length caused the sleep/wake cycles to slowly drift with respect to the day/night cycles on Earth, repeating approximately once every 36 days.

Plant and animal cells have many of the same organelles. But in some cases, the organelles in cells are different. For example, in plant cells, there are more types of organelles than are found in animal cells. Below are some names and descriptions of organelles commonly found in cells. There is also an interactive cell viewer and game that can be used to learn about the parts of animal and plant cells. Plasma membrane- The membrane enclosing a cell is made up of two lipid layers called a bilipid membrane. These lipid layers are made up of a number of fatty acid building blocks. The fatty acid that makes up this membrane has two different parts to it- a small water loving head- hydrophilic head.

Postmenopausal bleeding is vaginal bleeding that happens at least 12 months after your periods have stopped. Although it's a common problem, it's not normal to bleed at this time â even if it's just spotting â so don't ignore it. Make an appointment to see your GP as soon as possible. The cause is usually something minor, such as inflammation of the womb lining, but cancer is always a possibility that must be ruled out.

Glasgow travel guide - Wikitravel 138 See the 5 day forecast for Glasgow at the Met Office For the visitor, central Glasgow can be divided into two main areas, the City Centre, which contains the majority of tourist sights and much of the city's shopping and entertainment, as well as its commercial heart, and the West End, the bohemian area of cafés, restaurants and bars surrounding the University of Glasgow and Kelvingrove Museum. The best way to get good vistas of the city is to climb the many "drumlins" (hills) upon which the central area is built. Outside of central Glasgow, the East End lies east of the City Centre centred along Gallowgate and London Road. The South Side contains the neighbourhoods that lie to the south of the River Clyde, while the North Side is the area north of central Glasgow. Along the banks of the River Clyde west of the City Centre is an old industrial area which is in the process of regeneration and contains many new and impressive structures, such as the Clyde Auditorium, the Science Centre and the Riverside Museum. City Centre[ edit ] The City Centre (known as "town" or "the toon" to locals) is bounded by the M8 motorway to the north and west, High Street to the east, and the River Clyde to the south. This is the area where most visitors will start, and the most notable elements are the grid plan of streets and the lavish Victorian and Edwardian buildings and civic squares which give the area much of its character. The main arteries of the City Centre are Argyle Street and Sauchiehall Street which both run on an east-west axis. They are linked by Buchanan Street which runs north-south. Together, these three streets form the main shopping thoroughfares. The eastern side of the City Centre is a sub-district known as Merchant City, which contains Glasgow's original medieval core, centred around the Glasgow Cross (the junction of Trongate, Saltmarket, High Street, Gallowgate and London Road). Merchant City extends up to George Square, with many ornate buildings that date back to Glasgow's emergence as an industrial city. High Street north of the Glasgow Cross is the main artery of Old Glasgow and leads uphill to the Glasgow Cathedral and the Necropolis cemetery. The western area of the City Centre contains the city's core commercial and business district and is dominated by Blythswood Hill, which is centred around Blythswood Square. Running parallel to Sauchiehall Street, Bath Street is the main route into the neighbourhood and has a rich mix of independent shops and bars, as well as distinctive Georgian town house style architecture. South of Blythswood Hill is the city's financial district, with many modern glass and steel office buildings which stand alongside their classical counterparts. Further south, on the north bank of the River Clyde is the district of Anderston, formerly a dockland area, badly scarred by the city's industrial decline and the urban regeneration schemes of the 1960s but now being redeveloped as a residential and commercial area. West End[ edit ] To the west of the City Centre, no official definition of where the West End boundary line exists, but it can roughly be defined as being bounded by the M8 motorway to the east, Great Western Road to the north, the River Clyde to the South and Crow Road to the west. The nucleus of the area is undoubtedly the neo-Gothic University of Glasgow, which acts as the anchor for this bohemian district, with its lovely architecture, tree lined streets and quaint shopping areas. The primary east-west artery is Argyle Street/Dumbarton Road, while Byres Road is the main north-south artery and contains a number of independent shops, bars and restaurants. Ashton Lane connects Byres Road to the University campus and is a cobbled backstreet with distinctive whitewashed buildings, holding an eclectic mix of bars and eateries that make it a tourist hotspot (be careful as the Lane can be a bit of a tourist trap during the summer months when the students of the university are not there to keep the bar prices reasonable). To the east of the univ

Practically speaking, yes. If you look at the Newtonian theory of gravity, that is exactly what happens, and the Newtonian theory is close enough to the truth on the level you are describing. If you look at really massive objects (like neutron stars) then the Newtonian theory is no longer accurate and you need General Relativity. I'm not sure what the answer is in that case.

Randy Roth is a convicted murderer and thief from Washington. He was convicted of the 1991 murder of his fourth wife, Cynthia Baumgartner Roth. He was suspected but never tried for murdering his second wife, Janis Roth, in 1981. In both deaths he was the only witness, he claimed the activity that led to the death was the idea of his deceased wife, and the bodies were cremated as quickly as could be arranged. He was also convicted of stealing in the form of defrauding insurers and the Social Security Administration and was sentenced to one year for theft and 50 years for first degree murder in 1992. At least two true crime books are based on Roth's crimes, "A Rose for Her Grave" by Ann Rule and "Fatal Charm" by Carlton Smith.

[3] It was designed and built by the Zeppelin Company ( Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Gmb H) on the shores of Lake Constance in Friedrichshafen and was operated by the German Zeppelin Airline Company ( Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei ). The airship flew from March, 1936 until it was destroyed by fire 14 months later on May 6, 1937 while attempting to land at Lakehurst Naval Air Station in Manchester Township, New Jersey at the end of the first North American transatlantic journey of its second season of service with the loss of 36 lives. This was the last of the great airship disasters; it was preceded by the crashes of the British R38 in 1921 (44 dead), the US airship Roma in 1922 (34 dead), the French Dixmude in 1923 (52 dead), the British R101 in 1930 (48 dead), and the US Akron in 1933 (73 dead). Hindenburg was named after the late Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg, President of Germany from 1925 until his death in 1934.

This ship was to be approximately 776 ft (237 m) long and carry 5,000,000 cu ft (140,000 m 3) of hydrogen. Ten Maybach engines were to power five tandem engine cars (a plan from 1930 only showed four). The disaster of the British airship R 101 prompted the Zeppelin Company to reconsider the use of hydrogen, therefore scrapping the LZ 128 in favour of a new airship designed for helium, the LZ 129. Initial plans projected the LZ 129 to have a length of 813.67 feet (248.01 m), but 10 feet was dropped from its tail in order to allow the ship to fit in Lakehurst Hangar No. 1. [4]Hindenburg under construction Manufacturing of components began in 1931, but construction of the Hindenburg did not commence until March 1932. The delay was largely due to Daimler-Benz designing and refining the LOF-6 diesel engines to reduce weight while fulfilling the output requirements set by the Zeppelin Company. [4]Hindenburg had a duralumin structure, incorporating 15 Ferris wheel -like main ring bulkheads along its length, with 16 cotton gas bags fitted between them. The bulkheads were braced to each other by longitudinal girders placed around their circumferences. The airship's outer skin was of cotton doped with a mixture of reflective materials intended to protect the gas bags within from radiation, both ultraviolet (which would damage them) and infrared (which might cause them to overheat). The gas cells were made by a new method pioneered by Goodyear using multiple layers of gelatinized latex rather than the previous goldbeater's skins. In 1931 the Zeppelin Company purchased 5,000 kg (11,000 lb) of duralumin salvaged from the wreckage of the October 1930 crash of the British airship R101, which might have been re-cast and used in the construction of Hindenburg. [5]Dining room Lounge, with the world map painted on the wall Hindenburg ' s interior furnishings were designed by Fritz August Breuhaus, whose design experience included Pullman coaches, ocean liners, and warships of the German Navy. [6] The upper "A" Deck contained small passenger quarters in the middle flanked by large public rooms: a dining room to port and a lounge and writing room to starboard. Paintings on the dining room walls portrayed the Graf Zeppelin ' s trips to South America. A stylized world map covered the wall of the lounge. Long slanted windows ran the length of both decks. The passengers were expected to spend most of their time in the public areas, rather than their cramped cabins. [7]The lower "B" Deck contained washrooms, a mess hall for the crew, and a smoking lounge. Harold G. Dick, an American representative from the Goodyear Zeppelin Company, [8] recalled "The only entrance to the smoking room, which was pressurized to prevent the admission of any leaking hydrogen, was via the bar, which had a swiveling air lock door, and all departing passengers were scrutinized by the bar steward to make sure they were not carrying out a lit cigarette or pipe." [9] [10]Use of hydrogen instead of helium [ edit]Helium was initially selected for the lifting gas because it was the safest to use in airships, as it is not flammable. [11] One proposed measure to save helium was to make double-gas cells for 14 of the 16 gas cells; an inner hydrogen cell would be protected by an outer cell filled with helium, [11] [12] with vertical ducting to the dorsal area of the envelope to permit separate filling and venting of the inner hydrogen cells. At the time, however, helium was also relatively rare and extremely expensive as the gas was only available in industrial quantities from distillation plants at certain oil fields in the United States. Hydrogen, by comparison, could be cheaply produced by any industrialized nation and being lighter than helium also provided more lift. Because of its expense and rarity, American rigid airships using helium were forced to conserve the gas at all costs and this hampered their operation. [13]Despite a U. S. ban on the export of helium under the Helium Control Act of 1927, [14] the Germans designed the airship to use the far safer gas in the belief that they could convince the US government to license its export. When the designers learned that the National Munitions Control Board would refuse to lift the export ban, they were forced to re-engineer Hindenburg to use hydrogen for lift. [11] Despite the danger of using flammable hydrogen, no alternative lighter-than-air gases could provide sufficient lift. One beneficial side effect of employing hydrogen was that more passenger cabins could be added. The Germans' long history of flying hydrogen-filled passenger airships without a single injury or fatality engendered a widely held belief they had mastered the safe use of hydrogen. Hindenburg ' s first season performance appeared to demonstrate this. [ citation needed]Operational history [ edit]Launching and trial flights [ edit]Hindenburg on its first flight on March 4, 1936. The name of the airship was not yet painted on the hull. Five years after construction began in 1931, Hindenburg made its maiden test flight from the Zeppelin dockyards at Friedrichshafen on March 4, 1936, with 87 passengers and crew aboard. These included the Zeppelin Company chairman, Dr. Hugo Eckener, as commander, former World War I Zeppelin commander Lt. Col. Joachim Breithaupt representing the German Air Ministry, the Zeppelin company's eight airship captains, 47 other crew members, and 30 dockyard employees who flew as passengers. [15] Harold G. Dick was the only non-Luftschiffbau representative aboard. Although the name Hindenburg had been quietly selected by Eckener over a year earlier, [16] only the airship's formal registration number (D-LZ129) and the five Olympic rings (promoting the 1936 Summer Olympics to be held in Berlin that August) were displayed on the hull during its trial flights. As the airship passed over Munich on its second trial flight the next afternoon, the city's Lord Mayor, Karl Fiehler, asked Eckener by radio the LZ129's name, to which he replied " Hindenburg ". On March 23, Hindenburg made its first passenger and mail flight, carrying 80 reporters from Friedrichshafen to Löwenthal. The ship flew over Lake Constance with Graf Zeppelin. [17]Hindenburg ' s logotype (modern recreation)The name Hindenburg lettered in 6-foot-high (1.8 m) red Fraktur script (designed by Berlin advertiser Georg Wagner) was added to its hull three weeks later before the Deutslandfahrt on March 26, no formal naming ceremony for the airship was ever held. [18]Flag of the Deutsche Zeppelin-Reederei Gmb HThe airship was operated commercially by the Deutsche Zeppelin Reederei Gmb H (DZR), which had been established by Hermann Göring in March 1935 to increase Nazi influence over airship operations. [19] The DZR was jointly owned by the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin (the airship's builder), the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (German Air Ministry), and Deutsche Lufthansa A. G. (Germany's national airline at that time), and also operated the LZ 127 Graf Zeppelin during its last two years of commercial service to South America from 1935 to 1937. Hindenburg and its sister ship, the LZ 130 Graf Zeppelin II (launched in September 1938), were the only two airships ever purpose-built for regular commercial transatlantic passenger operations, although the latter never entered passenger service before being scrapped in 1940. After a total of six flights made over a three-week period from the Zeppelin dockyards where the airship had been built, Hindenburg was ready for its formal public debut with a 4,100-mile (6,598 km) propaganda flight around Germany ( Die Deutschlandfahrt) made jointly with the Graf Zeppelin from March 26 to 29. [20] This was to be followed by its first commercial passenger flight, a four-day transatlantic voyage to Rio de Janeiro that departed from the Friedrichshafen Airport in nearby Löwenthal on March 31. [21] After again departing from Löwenthal on May 6 on its first of ten round trips to North America made in 1936, [22] all Hindenburg ' s subsequent transatlantic flights to both North and South America originated at the airport at Frankfurt am Main. [23] [24]Die Deutschlandfahrt [ edit]Propaganda leaflet dropped from Hindenburg during the Deutschlandfahrt, quoting Adolf Hitler's March 7th Rhineland speech in the Reichstag March 29, 1936 plebiscite ballot Although designed and built for commercial transatlantic passenger, air freight, and mail service, at the behest of the Reich Ministry for Public Enlightenment and Propaganda ( Reichsministerium für Volksaufklärung und Propaganda or Propagandaministerium), Hindenburg was first pressed into use by the Air Ministry (its DLZ co-operator) as a vehicle for the delivery of Nazi propaganda. [25] On March 7, 1936, ground forces of the German Reich had entered and occupied the Rhineland, a region bordering the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Belgium, and France, which had been designated in the 1920 Treaty of Versailles as a de-militarized zone established to provide a buffer between Germany and those neighboring countries. In order to justify its remilitarization —which was also a violation of the 1925 Locarno Pact [26] —a post hoc plebiscite (or referendum) was quickly called by Hitler for March 29 to "ask the German people" to both ratify the Rhineland’s occupation by the German Army, and to approve a single party list composed exclusively of Nazi candidates to sit in the new Reichstag. The Hindenburg and the Graf Zeppelin were designated by the government as a key part of the process. [27]As a public relations ploy, Propaganda Minister Goebbels demanded that the Zeppelin Company make the two airships available to fly "in tandem" around Germany over the four-day period prior to the voting with a joint departure from Löwenthal on the morning of March 26. [28] While gusty wind conditions that morning would prove to make the process of safely launching the new airship a difficult one, Hindenburg ' s commander, Captain Ernst Lehmann, was determined to impress the politicians, Nazi party officials, and press present at the airfield with an "on time" departure and thus proceeded with its launch despite the adverse conditions. As the massive airship began to rise under full engine power it was caught by a 35-degree crosswind gust, causing its lower vertical tail fin to strike and be dragged across the ground, resulting in significant damage to the bottom portion of the airfoil and its attached rudder. [29] [30]Zeppelin Company Chairman Eckener, who had opposed the joint flight both because it politicized the airships and had forced the cancellation of an essential final endurance test for Hindenburg, was furious and rebuked Lehmann. [31]Graf Zeppelin, which had been hovering above the airfield waiting for Hindenburg to join it, had to start off on the propaganda mission alone while LZ 129 returned to its hangar. There temporary repairs were quickly made to its empennage before joining up with the smaller airship several hours later. [32] As millions of Germans watched from below, the two giants of the sky sailed over Germany for the next four days and three nights, dropping propaganda leaflets, blaring martial music and slogans from large loudspeakers, and broadcasting political speeches from a makeshift radio studio aboard Hindenburg. [33]First commercial passenger flight [ edit]Zeppelin passenger lapel pins The Hindenburg after its first flight to Rio in April 1936. Note the temporary repair of the lower fin after the accident at Die Deutschlandfahrt. With the completion of voting on the referendum (which the German Government claimed had been approved by a "98.79% 'Yes' vote" [34] [35] ), Hindenburg returned to Löwenthal on March 29 to prepare for its first commercial passenger flight, a transatlantic passage to Rio de Janeiro scheduled to depart from there on March 31. [36] Hugo Eckener was not to be the commander of the flight, however, but was instead relegated to being a "supervisor" with no operational control over Hindenburg while Ernst Lehmann had command of the airship. [37] To add insult to injury, Eckener learned from an Associated Press reporter upon Hindenburg's arrival in Rio that Goebbels had also followed through on his month-old threat to decree that Eckener's name would "no longer be mentioned in German newspapers and periodicals" and "no pictures nor articles about him shall be printed." [38] This action was taken because of Eckener's opposition to using Hindenburg and Graf Zeppelin for political purposes during the Deutschlandfahrt, and his "refusal to give a special appeal during the Reichstag election campaign endorsing Chancellor Adolf Hitler and his policies." [39] The existence of the ban was never publicly acknowledged by Goebbels, and it was quietly lifted a month later. [40]While at Rio, the crew noticed one of the engines had noticeable carbon buildup from being run at low speed during the propaganda flight days earlier. [41] On the return flight from South America, the automatic valve for gas cell 3 stuck open. [42] Gas was transferred from other cells through an inflation line. It was never understood why the valve stuck open, and subsequently the crew only used the hand-operated maneuvering valves for cells 2 and 3. 38 hours after departure, one of the airship's four Daimler-Benz 16-cylinder diesel engines (engine car no. 4, the forward port engine) suffered a wrist pin breakage, damaging the piston and cylinder. Repairs were started immediately and the engine functioned on fifteen cylinders for the remainder of the flight. Four hours after engine 4 failed, engine no. 2 (aft port) was shut down, as one of two bearing cap bolts for the engine failed and the cap fell into the crank case. The cap was removed and the engine was run again, but when the ship was off Cape Juby the second cap broke and the engine was shut down again. The engine was not run again to prevent further damage. With three engines operating at a speed of 62.6 miles per hour (100.7 km/h) and headwinds reported over the English Channel, the crew raised the airship in search of counter- trade winds usually found above 5,000 feet (1,500 m), well beyond the airship's pressure altitude. Unexpectedly, the crew found such a wind at the lower altitude of 3,600 feet (1,100 m) which permitted them to guide the airship safely back to Germany after getting emergency permission from France to fly a more direct route over the Rhone Valley. The nine-day flight covered 12,756 miles (20,529 km) in 203 hours and 32 minutes of flight time. [43] All four engines were later overhauled and no further problems were encountered on later flights. [44] For the rest of April, Hindenburg remained at its hangar where the engines were overhauled and the lower fin and rudder received a final repair; the ground clearance of the lower rudder was increased from 8 to 14 degrees.1936 transatlantic season [ edit]LZ 129 arrival at NAS Lakehurst, May 9, 1936. USS Los Angeles (ZR-3) is moored upper right. Hindenburg made 17 round trips across the Atlantic in 1936—its first and only full year of service—with ten trips to the United States and seven to Brazil. The flights were considered demonstrative rather than routine in schedule. The first passenger trip across the North Atlantic left Frankfurt on May 6 with 56 crew and 50 passengers, arriving in Lakehurst on May 9. As the elevation at Rhein-Main's airfield lies at 364 ft (111 m) above sea level, the airship could lift 13,200 lb (6.0 t) more at takeoff there than it could from Friedrichshafen which was situated at 1,367 ft (417 m). [45] The ten westward trips that season took 53 to 78 hours and eastward took 43 to 61 hours. The last eastward trip of the year left Lakehurst on October 10; the first North Atlantic trip of 1937 ended in the Hindenburg disaster. In May and June 1936, Hindenburg made surprise visits to England. In May it was on a flight from America to Germany when it flew low over the West Yorkshire town of Keighley. A parcel was then thrown overboard and landed in the High Street. Two boys, Alfred Butler and Jack Gerrard, retrieved it and found the contents to be a bouquet of carnations, a small silver cross and a letter on official note paper dated May 22, 1936. The letter read: 'To the finder of this letter, please deposit these flowers and cross on the grave of my dear brother, Lt. Franz Shulte, 1 Garde Regt, zu fuss, POW in Skipton cemetery in Keighley near Leeds. Many thanks for your kindness. John P. Shulte, the first flying priest'. [46] [47] Historian Oliver Denton speculates that the June visit may have had a more sinister purpose: to observe the industrial heartlands of Northern England. [48]In July 1936, Hindenburg completed a record Atlantic round trip between Frankfurt and Lakehurst in 98 hours and 28 minutes of flight time (52:49 westbound, 45:39 eastbound). [49] Many famous passengers flew on the Hindenburg including boxer Max Schmeling making his triumphant return to Germany in June, 1936 after his world heavyweight title knockout of Joe Louis at Yankee Stadium. [50] [51] [52] In the 1936 season, the airship flew 191,583 miles (308,323 km) and carried 2,798 passengers and 160 tons of freight and mail, encouraging the Luftschiffbau Zeppelin Company to plan the expansion of its airship fleet and transatlantic service. [ citation needed]The airship was said to be so stable a pen or pencil could be balanced on end atop a tablet without falling. Its launches were so smooth that passengers often missed them, believing the airship was still docked to its mooring mast. A one way fare between Germany and the United States was US$400; Hindenburg passengers were affluent, usually entertainers, noted sportsmen, political figures, and leaders of industry. [53] [54]Hindenburg was used again for propaganda when it flew over the Olympic Stadium in Berlin on August 1 during the opening ceremonies of the 1936 Summer Olympic Games. Shortly before the arrival of Adolf Hitler to declare the Games open, the airship crossed low over the packed stadium while trailing the Olympic flag on a long weighted line suspended from its gondola. [55] On September 14, the ship flew over the annual Nuremberg Rally. On October 8, 1936, Hindenburg made a 10.5 hour flight (the "Millionaires Flight") over New England carrying 72 wealthy and influential passengers. Winthrop W. Aldrich. Nelson Rockefeller, German and American officials and naval officers, as well as key figures in the aviation industry such as Juan Trippe of Pan American Airways. The ship arrived at Boston by noon and returned to Lakehurst at 5:22 pm before making its final transatlantic flight of the season back to Frankfurt. [56]During 1936, Hindenburg had a Blüthner aluminium grand piano placed on board in the music salon, though the instrument was removed after the first year to save weight. [57] Over the winter of 1936–37, several alterations were made to the airship's structures. The greater lift capacity allowed ten passenger cabins to be added, nine with two beds and one with four, increasing passenger capacity to 72. These windowed cabins were along the starboard side aft of the previously installed accommodations, and it was anticipated for the LZ 130 to also have these cabins [58]. Additionally, the Olympic rings painted on the hull were removed for the 1937 season. Hindenburg also had experimental aircraft hook-on trapeze similar to the one on the U. S. Navy Goodyear-Zeppelin built airships Akron and Macon. This was intended to allow customs officials to be flown out to Hindenburg to process passengers before landing and to retrieve mail from the ship for early delivery. Experimental hook-ons and takeoffs, piloted by Ernst Udet, were attempted on March 11 and April 27, 1937, but were not very successful, owing to turbulence around the hook-up trapeze. The loss of the ship ended all prospects of further testing. [59]Final flight: May 3–6, 1937 [ edit]Main article: Hindenburg disaster A partially burned piece of mail aboard Hindenburg ' s last flight Hindenburg on fire Live radio broadcast After making the first South American flight of the 1937 season in late March, Hindenburg left Frankfurt for Lakehurst on the evening of May 3, on its first scheduled round trip between Europe and North America that season. Although strong headwinds slowed the crossing, the flight had otherwise proceeded routinely as it approached for a landing three days later. [60]Hindenburg ' s arrival on May 6 was delayed for several hours to avoid a line of thunderstorms passing over Lakehurst, but around 7:00 pm the airship was cleared for its final approach to the Naval Air Station, which it made at an altitude of 650 ft (200 m) with Captain Max Pruss in command. Four minutes after ground handlers grabbed hold of a pair of landing lines dropped from the nose of the ship at 7:21 pm, [ clarification needed] Hindenburg suddenly burst into flames and dropped to the ground in a little over half a minute. Of the 36 passengers and 61 crew aboard, 13 passengers [61] and 22 crew [62] died, as well as one member of the ground crew, a total of 36 lives lost. [63] [64] [65] Herbert Morrison 's commentary of the incident became a classic of audio history. A fire-scorched duralumin Hindenburg cross brace salvaged from the crash site The exact location of the initial fire, its source of ignition, and the source of fuel remain subjects of debate. The cause of the accident has never been determined conclusively, although many hypotheses have been proposed. Sabotage theories notwithstanding, one hypothesis often put forth involves a combination of gas leakage and atmospheric static conditions. Escaping hydrogen gas (in this specific case from incomplete or damaged vents along the top of the vessel and especially near the rear upper tail fin) will typically burn after mixing with air and will explode when mixed with air in the right proportions. This, along with the high static collected from flying within stormy conditions could have combined to ignite the leaking gas and down the airship. In addition, a certain amount of gas may have been inexplicably lost out the top of the vessel for, at the same time, water ballast was noticeably released to slow the rate of descent. The initial explosion would therefore have been the result of the quickening fire reaching the gas bags themselves via the compromised aft-most vent at the vessel's stern. Another more recent theory involves the airship's outer covering. The silvery cloth covering contained material including cellulose nitrate which is highly flammable. [66] This theory is controversial and has been rejected by other researchers [67] because the outer skin burns too slowly to account for the rapid flame propagation [60] and gaps in the fire correspond with internal gas cell divisions, which wouldn't be visible if the fire spread across the skin first. [67] Hydrogen fires had previously destroyed many other airships. [68]The duralumin framework of Hindenburg was salvaged and shipped back to Germany. There the scrap was recycled and used in the construction of military aircraft for the Luftwaffe, as were the frames of Graf Zeppelin and Graf Zeppelin II when they were scrapped in 1940. [69]Appearances in media [ edit]Hindenburg in 1936, with reporters and film crew An image of the burning airship was used as the cover of Led Zeppelin 's self-titled debut album (1969). [70]The Hindenburg is a 1975 film inspired by the disaster, but centered upon the sabotage theory. Some of these plot elements were based on real bomb threats before the flight began, as well as proponents of the sabotage theory. The actual model from the movie is now on permanent display in the National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC. Hindenburg: The Last Flight (2011) is a semi-fictional US-Europe-made film for cable TV. Like its 1975 predecessor, it uses a fictional storyline that hints at sabotage.

A wrestler can win by knockout (sometimes referred to as a referee stoppage) if they do not resort to submission holds, but stills pummels their opponent to the point that they are unconscious or are unable to intelligently defend themselves. To check for a knockout in this manner, a referee will wave their hand in front of the wrestler's face; if the wrestler does not react in any way, the referee will award the victory to the other wrestler. If all the active wrestlers in a match are down inside the ring at the same time, the referee will begin a count (usually ten seconds, twenty in Japan). If nobody rises to their feet by the end of the count, the match is ruled a draw. Any participant who stands up in time will end the count for everyone else. In a Last Man Standing match, this form of a knockout is the only way that the match can end, so the referee will count when one or more wrestlers are down, and one wrestler standing up before the 10-count doesn't stop the count for another wrestler who is still down.

Neural tube In the developing chordate (including vertebrates), the neural tube is the embryo's precursor to the central nervous system, which comprises the brain and spinal cord. The neural groove gradually deepens as the neural folds become elevated, and ultimately the folds meet and coalesce in the middle line and convert the groove into the closed neural tube. In humans, neural tube closure usually occurs by the fourth week of pregnancy (28th day after conception). The ectodermal wall of the tube forms the rudiment of the nervous system. The centre of the tube is the neural canal.

Brain Physiologically, the function of the brain is to exert centralized control over the other organs of the body. The brain acts on the rest of the body both by generating patterns of muscle activity and by driving the secretion of chemicals called hormones. This centralized control allows rapid and coordinated responses to changes in the environment. Some basic types of responsiveness such as reflexes can be mediated by the spinal cord or peripheral ganglia, but sophisticated purposeful control of behavior based on complex sensory input requires the information integrating capabilities of a centralized brain.

[9]This first generation i Phone was introduced in the United States on June 29, 2007. It featured quad-band GSM cellular connectivity with GPRS and EDGE support for data transfer. On June 9, 2008, Apple announced its successor, the i Phone 3G. After this announcement, the first-generation i Phone became referred to by some sources as the i Phone 2G because it was the last i Phone to ship with the 2G-speed EDGE network. The original i Phone has not received software updates from Apple since i Phone OS (now i OS) 3.1.3. Since June 11, 2013, the original i Phone is considered "obsolete" in Apple retail stores, "vintage" by other service providers in the US, and "obsolete" in all other regions. [10] Apple does not service vintage or obsolete products, and replacement parts for obsolete products are not available to service providers. Contents [ hide ]1 History2 Release3 Post-release4 Software4.1 Software history5 Reception6 Timeline of models7 See also8 References9 External links History [ edit]In 2005, Apple CEO Steve Jobs conceived an idea of using a multi-touchtouchscreen to interact with a computer in a way in which he could type directly onto the display. He decided that it needed to have a triple layered touch screen, a very new technology at the time. This helped out with removing the physical keyboard and mouse, the same as a tablet computer. Jobs recruited a group of Apple engineers to investigate the idea as a side project. [11] When Jobs reviewed the prototype and its user interface, he conceived a second idea of implementing the technology onto a mobile phone. [12] The whole effort was called Project Purple 2 and began in 2005. [13]Apple created the device during a secretive and unprecedented collaboration with AT&T, formerly Cingular Wireless. The development cost of the collaboration was estimated to have been $150 million [14] over a thirty-month period. Apple rejected the " design by committee " approach that had yielded the Motorola ROKR E1, a largely unsuccessful collaboration with Motorola. Instead, Cingular Wireless gave Apple the liberty to develop the i Phone's hardware and software in-house. [15] [16]The original i Phone was introduced by Steve Jobs on January 9, 2007 in a keynote address at the Macworld Conference & Expo held in Moscone West in San Francisco, California. [17] In his address, Jobs said, "This is a day, that I have been looking forward to for two and a half years", and that "today, Apple is going to reinvent the phone." [18] Jobs introduced the i Phone as a combination of three devices: a "widescreen i Pod with touch controls"; a "revolutionary mobile phone"; and a "breakthrough Internet communicator". [19]Release [ edit]The i Phone was released in the United States on June 29, 2007 at the price of $499 for the 4 GB model and $599 for the 8 GB model, both requiring a 2-year contract. [20] Thousands of people were reported to have waited outside Apple and AT&T retail stores days before the device's launch; [21] many stores reported stock shortages within an hour of availability. To avoid repeating the problems of the Play Station 3 launch, which caused burglaries and even a shooting, off-duty police officers were hired to guard stores overnight. [22] [23]It was later made available in the United Kingdom, France, Germany, Portugal, the Republic of Ireland, and Austria in November 2007. [20]Six out of ten Americans surveyed said they knew the i Phone was coming before its release. [23]Post-release [ edit]The i Pod Touch, a touchscreen device with the media and internet abilities and interface of the i Phone but without the ability to connect to a cellular network for phone functions or internet access, was released on September 5, 2007. At the same time, Apple significantly dropped the price of the 8 GB model (from $599 to $399, still requiring a 2-year contract with AT&T) while discontinuing the 4 GB model. [24] Apple sold the one millionth i Phone five days later, or 74 days after the release. [25] After receiving "hundreds of emails...upset" about the price drop, Apple gave store credit to early adopters. [26]A 16 GB model was released on February 5, 2008 for $499, the original launch price of the 4 GB model. [27] Apple released an SDK on March 6, 2008, allowing developers to create the apps that would be available starting in i Phone OS version 2.0, a free upgrade for i Phone users. On June 9, Apple announced the i Phone 3G, which began shipping July 11. [28] The original i Phone was discontinued 4 days later; total sales volume came to 6,124,000 units. While most Apple literature simply called the device "i Phone", the term "the original i Phone" appears in a press release from July 2010. [29]Software [ edit]During release, the i Phone was marketed as running "OS X". The name of the operating system was revealed as i Phone OS with the release of the i Phone SDK. The original i Phone supported three major versions of the operating system before it was discontinued: i Phone OS 1, 2, and 3. However, the full i Phone OS 3 feature set was not supported, and the last update the original i Phone received was i Phone OS 3.1.3. Software history [ edit]See also: i OS, i Phone OS 1, i Phone OS 2, and i Phone OS 3The original operating system for the original i Phone was i Phone OS 1, marketed as OS X, and included Visual Voicemail, multi-touch gestures, HTML email, Safari web browser, threaded text messaging, and You Tube. However, many features like MMS, apps, and copy and paste were not supported at release, leading hackers jailbreaking their phones to add these features. Official software updates slowly added these features.i Phone OS 2 was released on July 11, 2008, around the same time as the release of the i Phone 3G, and introduced third-party applications, Microsoft Exchange support, push e-mail, [ citation needed] and other enhancements.i Phone OS 3 was released on June 17, 2009, and introduced copy and paste functionality, Spotlight search for the home screen, and new features for the You Tube app. i Phone OS 3 was available for the original i Phone as well as the i Phone 3G. However, not all features of i Phone OS 3 were supported on the original i Phone.i Phone OS 3.1.3 was the last version of i Phone OS (now i OS) to be released for the original i Phone. Reception [ edit]Only four writers were given review models of the original i Phone: [30] [31] David Pogue of The New York Times, [32]Walt Mossberg of The Wall Street Journal, [33] Steven Levy of Newsweek, [34] and Ed Baig of USA Today. [35] The New York Times and The Wall Street Journal published positive, but cautious, reviews of the i Phone, their primary criticisms being the relatively slow speed of the AT&T 's 2.5G EDGE network and the phone's inability to connect using 3G services. The Wall Street Journal ' s technology columnist, Walt Mossberg, concluded that "despite some flaws and feature omissions, the i Phone is, on balance, a beautiful and breakthrough handheld computer." [36] Time magazine named it the Invention of the Year in 2007. [37]Timeline of models [ edit]Sources: Apple press release library [38]See also [ edit]Book: Apple Inc.

During the SNES's life, Nintendo contracted with two different companies to develop a CD-ROM-based peripheral for the console to compete with Sega's CD-ROM based addon, Mega-CD. Ultimately, deals with both Sony and Philips fell through, (although a prototype console was produced by Sony) with Philips gaining the right to release a series of titles based on Nintendo franchises for its CD-i multimedia player and Sony going on to develop its own console based on its initial dealings with Nintendo (the PlayStation).

Matisse was also one of the first 20th-century artists to make color the central element of the painting, chosen to evoke emotions. "A certain blue penetrates your soul", he wrote. "A certain red affects your blood pressure." He also was familiar with the way that complementary colors, such as red and green, strengthened each other when they were placed next to each other. He wrote, "My choice of colors is not based on scientific theory; it is based on observation, upon feelings, upon the real nature of each experience ... I just try to find a color which corresponds to my feelings."

Gecko's Progress: Mr Bean as Maigret Narrowboat Gecko has been our home for ten years. As we cruise the inland waterways some of our thoughts find their way into this blog. Margaret & Peter Sunday, 27 March 2016 Mr Bean as Maigret This evening Rowan Atkinson (aka Mr Bean aka Blackadder) is portraying Maigret in the first of two feature-length stories on TV. Whatever wonders the make-up and wardrobe departments manage I will not be able to watch those eyes and see them as Jules Maigret. For me the archetypal Maigret was Rupert Davies in the 1960s, enhanced, I am sure, by the monochrome film medium. When he struck that match on the wall and the accordion music started I was transported to Paris in an era before la Grande Arche. I suppose to film appropriate architecture nowadays they would have to go to Prague or somewhere, but when Rupert Davies was driving around Paris in his Citroen Traction Avant much of the city was relatively unchanged from the 1930-50 era in which the stories were set. If you would like to view the last Maigret story involving Rupert Davies Maigret' Little Joke - click here. However, you will not see the Citroen as it does not feature in this episode. After the series was complete, Rupert Davies bought the car and we used to see him driving it around Amersham. The Citroën Traction Avant was the first front-wheel drive, steel monocoque car ever put into wide-scale production. In many ways the Traction Avant was revolutionary. Itwas designed by André Lefébvre and Flaminio Bertone (remember his unrelated curves in Italian car design?). It was incredibly successful over more than two decades of production, with 750,000 units distributed worldwide between 1934 and 1956. Other cars produced at the time were essentially a chassis under a box. The Citroën was far more advanced, boasting an all in one body with independent front torsion bar suspension and hydraulic brakes. After Rupert Davies's death in 1976, the Maigret car was owned by his wife. It has changed hands since then and the last time I can trace, which was January 2015, it was looking decidedly sad. When I worked in Paris we used to frequent a cafe not far from the Citroen factory in Levallois - J'ai Deux Amours - which was the title of a song made famous by Josephine Baker. Co-incidentally I came across the following photograph and article in France Today. I am reproducing it in full for the Maigret nerds amongst you. Georges Simenon & wife, Tigy, with Josephine Baker and fiance Georges Simenon's Paris: Following in the Footsteps of his Fictional Sleuth, Jules Maigret by Thirza Vallois March 16, 2016 No wonder Georges Simenon set most of the Maigret stories in Paris – 63 out of 75 of them in fact. Because Paris is a compact city, it provides an unrivalled stage for crime fiction, where the investigation can progress at speed. But the Maigret stories also make wonderful guides to the flip-side of pre-gentrified Paris, the Paris of black and white photos, a shabby conglomerate of closely-knit communities, yet alive with the pulse of authenticity. Simenon crisply encapsulates that Paris of neighbourhood bars and bistros, of payphones and platform buses, sparing us neither the gloom of November nor the heat of August. He even takes us past the loge of the concierge into private homes, and gratifies us with the smell of floor polish or the cooking smells of ragoût de mouton, blanquette de veau or tripes à la mode de Caen. With a Maigret in hand you can comb every bit of Paris. Be aware, however, that Simenon fiddles with street numbers and place names, throwing in existing ones alongside those he invents, or shifting places around. And to complicate it further, many of the real-life places have since disappeared. He also throws bits of his own life into Maigret’s, the devotion to pipes and beer not least. Maigret’s persona, on the other hand, is largely inspired by real-life Commissaire Guillaume, le grand patron of the Police Judiciaire (PJ, pronounced pé’ji), who was in charge of the most famous criminal investigat

Portsmouth music scene THE THIRTIES 1930 Was the year when the song hits were full of optimism, to counteract the Depression and post-Wall-Street-Crash-Street-Crash- They had titles like "Sunny Side Up," "With A Song In My Heart" and "Give Yourself A Pat On The Back." end one big hit was called "If I Had A Talking Picture Of You," which acknowledged the boom in talking motion pictures. the Thirties saw increased pace in scientific research and discoveries that were to have their full impact in later decades. Early experiments with high definition television, the splitting of the atom, rocket, radar and let engine research went on as a creeping tide of fear and violence emanated from Nazi Germany and Hitler's Third Reich. Standards of living rose for many, while there was still mass unemployment. Gradually the optimism faded and the harsh reality of war loomed large on the horizon. The tempo of life quickened. By the end of the Thirties the popular songs had titles like "There'll Always Be An England" and "We're Gonna Hang Out The Washing On The Siegfried Line." Throughout it all, the radio relayed music as it poured unabated from America. As the talkies arrived, so Hollywood was quick to utilise music and its ready-made stars. In 1930 Paul Whiteman and his Orchestra made a film in Hollywood called The King Of Jazz, a title disputed ever since by critics. It was the first of a succession of key musicals which began with Al Jolson's The Jazz Singer and continued through The Glenn Miller Story, to Rock Around The Clock and Woodstock. The bandleaders themselves were not exactly romantic, heartthrobs. Their main concession to showmanship was to wear a tuxedo and twirl a baton. Compared to the androgynous appearance of the pop stars of later decades, it requires an effort of the imagination to recall that the public revered figures who looked more like insurance salesmen or head waiters than glamorous showbiz celebrities. But if the podgy figure of Paul Whiteman resembled an avuncular New York stockbroker, there were men who sent the ladies' hearts fluttering and brought them out in hot flushes - the crooners. Crooning was the singing of romantic ballads, preferably while wearing a white tuxedo under a Californian moon in the month of June. Crooners adopted a misty-eyed stance and pearly-toothed smile and often clutched at a ukulele, which, as it produced a singularly unromantic noise, was rarely played. One of the earliest crooners was Rudy Vallee, and it is a measure of his success that Vallee was sued in 1930 by one Will Osborne, who claimed 500,000 dollars and the title of the world's first crooner, wring the early Thirties, Vallee recorded many hits with his band, including "As Time Goes By," "Fare Thee Well Annabelle," "Life Is Just A Bowl Of Cherries," "On The Good Ship Lollipop" and "You're Driving Me Crazy." But as the Thirties progressed, Vallee's crown was to be seized by another young crooner with jazz roots - Bing Crosby, who started singing at his college glee club with a friend, AI Rinker. They eventually organised a dance band called the Musicaladers with Bing drumming and singing duets. One night, the King Of Jazz, Paul Whiteman, dropped by and signed the singers to a contract. A third member was added, Harry Barris, and the three became the world-famous Paul Whiteman's Rhythm Boys vocal trio. Bing appeared in The King Of Jazz movie but left Whiteman after three years and worked as a soloist at the Coconut Grove in Los Angeles, which began a life-long career as a successful singer and movie actor playing romantic leads and light comedy. His radio signature tune for many years was "Please," and he was part composer of one of his most celebrated hits, "Where The Blue Of The Night." Bing recorded with the Mills Brothers; and also with many jazz orchestras, including Duke Ellington, Don Redman, Isham Jones and Guy Lombardo. The Four Mills Brothers were John, Herbert, Donald and Harry, who specialised in singing like instruments. They

In replacement fossils the body dissolves and minerals are left in its place. In permineralization, the water enters the cells of the organism and deposits minerals in the spaces inside them. Petrified wood is a permineralized fossil. Whole Body Fossils. Whole body fossils occur when an entire organism, including soft tissues, is preserved. Examples include insects entombed in tree sap, which hardens to become amber, and mammoths encased in ice. Footprints and Trackways. Footprints made by prehistoric animals walking through the mud sometimes harden and become fossils.

Closing credits The use of closing credits in film to list complete production crew and cast was not firmly established in American film until the 1970s. Before this decade, most movies were released with no closing credits at all. Films generally had opening credits only, which consisted of just major cast and crew, although sometimes the names of the cast and the characters they played would be shown at the end, as in The Wizard of Oz, Mary Poppins, Oliver! and the 1964 Fail Safe. Two of the first major films to contain extensive closing credits – but almost no opening credits – were the blockbusters Around the World in 80 Days (1956) and West Side Story (1961). West Side Story showed only the title at the beginning of the film, and Around the World in 80 Days, like many films today, had no opening credits at all.

Fans of astronomy will be in their element in 2020, as the sky transforms into nature's very own light display.
The Quadrantids meteor shower is the first of the decade, expected to light up our skies on January 3/4. The Lyrids shower takes place in April, with five other celestial events expected right up until November.
Put them in your calendar and hope for good weather, because these are magical astronomical events that you won't want to miss.
Quadrantids: January 3-4
As the first meteor shower of the year and the decade, stargazers should watch out for this event late on Friday, January 3 when it's at its peak.
Unlike other meteor showers that tend to stay at their peak for about two days, the peak period of the Quadrantids only lasts a few hours.
Lyrids: April 21-22
(Image: AP/ Reinhardt/dpa)
The Lyrid meteor shower is usually active between April 16 and April 25 each year. This year it will peak, and be most visible, on April 21 after midnight and just before dawn on April 22.
The Lyrid is considered to be one of the oldest meteor showers known. It is named after the constellation Lyra.
It usually produces about 20 meteors an hour – these are made from dust particles left behind by the comet C/1861 G1 Thatcher, which was discovered in 1861.
Eta Aquarid: May 5-6
This is one of two meteor showers created by debris from Halley's Comet. It is an above average shower that favours the Southern Hemisphere. Here, stargazers can see up to 60 meteors an hour when it’s at its peak.
It will reach half that amount at 30 meteors an hour in the Northern Hemisphere.
(Image: Sunday Mail)
The Eta Aquarid shower runs each year from April 19 to May 28. This year it will be late on May 5 and in the early morning of May 6 - the best time to see in the early morning right before dawn.
Halley's Comet is arguably the most famous comet known. It is named after its discoverer - English astronomer Edmond Halley.
He examined reports of a comet approaching Earth in 1531, 1607 and 1682. He concluded these comets were actually the same one returning over and over again.
Perseids: August 12-13
This is one of the main celestial events of the summer and is regarded as one of the best showers to observe. At its peak it can produce up to 60 bright meteors per hour.
The Perseid show is produced by the Swift-Tuttle comet – which is the largest solar system object to pass so close to Earth repeatedly.
Researchers once thought that Swift-Tuttle was likely to actually hit Earth in the year 2126, but the last time it passed Earth in 1992 astronomers took more precise measurements and found its next pass would not be so dangerous.
Draconids: October 8-9
The Draconid is the first of two meteor showers that will pass through our skies in October.
It owes its name to the constellation Draco, which is a derivative of the Latin term draconem, meaning huge serpent.
The meteor is created when the Earth passes through the dust debris left by the comet 21P/ Giacobini-Zinner - sometimes the Draconid is also known as the Giacobinids.
It’s an unusual shower because it’s best seen in the early evening instead of between midnight and dawn like most other showers.
Orionids: October 20-21
The Orionid arrives every year and is visible from October 2 to November 7 when the Earth passes through the debris left behind by Halley's Comet.
The shower is expected to peak just after midnight on October 20 and right before dawn on October 21. At its peak 20 meteors an hour can be seen in the sky.
It’s called the Orionid because the meteors seem to emerge or radiate from a constellation called Orion.
Leonids: November 16-17
November’s Leonid meteor shower happens every year between the 6th and the 30th. It occurs when Earth crosses the orbital path of Comet Tempel-Tuttl.
This year it will peak on the night of November, 16. The Leonid shower is unique because it has a cyclonic peak about every 33 years - this is where hundreds of meteors can be seen per hour.

Water expands as it gets warmer, and the lack of cold water dependent nutrients make it less dense. This expanded, less dense water results in a rise in sea level, observable from space. Ocean surface height may rise as much as 6 to 13 inches above normal in some ocean regions during an El Niño.

County Championship Division Two: Who will gain promotion? | Cricket News | Sky Sports County Championship Division Two: Who will gain promotion? Here's all you need to know ahead of the 2016 season... By David Currie Last Updated: 10/04/16 10:10am Luke Wright leads Sussex for the first time in four-day cricket. Can he lead them back to Division One? Just days after the heartbreak of England's World Twenty20 final defeat, our attentions turn to a summer of domestic cricket with the first set of Specsavers County Championship fixtures on Sunday. Just one team will earn promotion from Division Two in 2016, making the fight for top spot all the more competitive. Keep up to speed with the ins and outs ahead of 2016 So who has the best chance of topping the table? Can relegated Sussex or Worcestershire bounce straight back up? Will Kent's talented crop of youngsters get the job done? Or can Leicestershire replicate their footballing counterparts, going from worst to first? Here's how we see the season unfolding... SUSSEX 2015: Eighth Division One, relegated 2016 prediction: Champions, promoted Sky Bet odds: 2/1 fav Ross Taylor arrives from New Zealand as Sussex's overseas pro Chances in a tweet: Sussex have the look of a Division One side. Complacency cost them their spot in the top division last year but expect them to bounce back. What's new? Sussex stalwart Luke Wright takes over the captaincy from Ed Joyce, with the batting further bolstered by the arrival of New Zealand's Ross Taylor, available from the start of the season through to late July. Hampshire's slow-left-armer, Danny Briggs, joins looking to resurrect his flagging four-day career, while Sussex hope he can be the replacement spinner they've tried, and failed, to find since the departure of Monty Panesar. The latest example, Ashar Zaidi, has left for Essex over the winter. Michael Yardy has retired, as has James Anyon. Wicket-taker: Ollie Robinson. The former Yorkshire prospect was signed in 2015 as cover but ended up taking 46 wickets in 11 matches at 24.71. With Anyon gone, Chris Jordan is likely to be busy a fair bit with England, and with continued fitness concerns over Ajmal Shahzad and Tymal Mills, Robinson will likely have to step up again. Steve Magoffin is 36 and can't be expected to do it alone like always. Sussex are capable of an immediate return to Division One, says Ed Joyce Century-maker: You can't look past Luke. Wright averaged 46.53 in 2015, including a career highest score of 226 not out. It's not an anomaly either, Wright's average in the two seasons prior was above 50. Can the captaincy take his batting on even further? Young player to watch: Harry Finch (batsman) KENT Sky Bet odds: 7/1 Dan Bell-Drummond is tipped for England recognition by many Chances in a tweet: A talented team tipped for great things for a while. It could finally be their year, except second spot for once won't secure promotion. What's new? Kent have also changed their captain, with Rob Key - who will continue to play for the county - handing the role over to Sam Northeast. Also, having not signed one overseas player last year, Kent have picked up two of the finest around for 2016. New Zealand opener Tom Latham and South African quick Kagiso Rabada are available for all formats during their spells with the club. Wicket-taker: Matt Coles returned to his home county in 2015 after a two-year spell with Hampshire and suitably impressed with 67 wickets at an average of 23.49. Veteran allrounder Darren Stevens took a next-best 61 scalps, which suggests the attack is a little thin, and is set to rely heavily on Coles again. Who are the next England stars across all three formats? Century-maker: A year on from topping the Kent run-scoring charts, Daniel Bell-Drummond somewhat disappointed in 2015, averaging only 26.44. But this 22-year-old has so much more to give, as evident by his 127 off 112 balls against the touring Australians last year. Young player to watch: Matt Hunn (right-arm seamer) GLOUCESTERSHIRE Sky Bet odds: 12/1 Michael Klinger helped inspire Gloucestershire's R

Mid-ocean ridge A mid-ocean ridge (MOR) is an underwater mountain system formed by plate tectonics.[1] It consists of various mountains linked in chains, typically having a valley known as a rift running along its spine. This type of oceanic mountain ridge is characteristic of what is known as an 'oceanic spreading center', which is responsible for seafloor spreading.[2] The production of new seafloor results from mantle upwelling in response to plate spreading; this isentropic upwelling solid mantle material eventually exceeds the solidus and melts. The buoyant melt rises as magma at a linear weakness in the oceanic crust, and emerges as lava, creating new crust upon cooling. A mid-ocean ridge demarcates the boundary between two tectonic plates, and consequently is termed a divergent plate boundary.

Steven Tyler store | aerosmith.com | janiesfund.org Steven Tyler (born Steven Victor Tallarico; March 26, 1948) is an American singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and former television music competition judge, best known as the lead singer of the Boston-based rock band Aerosmith, in which he also plays the harmonica, and occasional piano and percussion. He is known as the "Demon of Screamin'"[1] due to his high screams and his wide vocal range. He is also known for his on-stage acrobatics. During his high-energy performances, Tyler usually dresses in bright, colorful outfits with his trademark scarves hanging from his microphone stand. In the 1970s, Tyler rose to prominence as the lead singer of Aerosmith, which released such milestone hard rock albums as Toys in the Attic and Rocks, along with a string of hit singles, including "Dream On", "Sweet Emotion", and "Walk This Way". In the late 1970s and early 1980s, Tyler had a heavy drug and alcohol addiction, and the band's popularity waned. Tyler and bandmate Joe Perry became known as the "Toxic Twins" due to their drug abuse. In 1986, Tyler completed drug rehabilitation and Aerosmith rose to prominence again when Tyler and Perry joined Run–D.M.C. for a re-make of the classic Aerosmith song "Walk This Way", which became a Top 5 hit. Aerosmith subsequently launched a remarkable comeback with the multi-platinum albums Permanent Vacation, Pump, Get a Grip, and Nine Lives, which produced a combined thirteen Top 40 singles and won the band numerous awards. During this time, the band embarked on their longest and most extensive concert tours, promoted their singles with conceptual music videos, and made notable appearances in television, film, and video games. In the wake of this success, Tyler emerged as one of the most enduring rock icons. Since the late 1980s, he has embarked on several solo endeavors including guest appearances on other artists' music (working with artists as diverse as Alice Cooper, Mötley Crüe, Santana, Pink, and Keith Anderson), film and TV roles (including as a judge on American Idol and several cameo and guest appearances in other programs and films), authoring a bestselling book, and solo work (including the Top 40 hit single "(It) Feels So Good" in 2011). While tension with his Aerosmith bandmates boiled in 2009 and 2010 after he fell off the stage at a concert, had a relapse with prescription drugs (which he successfully received treatment for in 2009),[2] and signed on to American Idol without telling his bandmates, Tyler has continued to record music and perform with Aerosmith, after more than 45 years in the band. In May 2015, Tyler released the country single "Love Is Your Name", followed by the second single "Red, White & You" in January 2016; his debut solo album is expected to be released in 2016. Tyler is included among Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Singers.[3] He was ranked 3rd on Hit Parader's Top 100 Metal Vocalists of All Time. In 2001, he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame with Aerosmith, and in 2013, Tyler and his songwriting partner Joe Perry received the ASCAP Founders Award and were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame.

English Springer Spaniel The English Springer Spaniel is a breed of gun dog in the Spaniel family traditionally used for flushing and retrieving game. It is an affectionate, excitable breed with a typical lifespan of twelve to fourteen years.[1] They are very similar to the Welsh Springer Spaniel and are descended from the Norfolk or Shropshire Spaniels of the mid-19th century; the breed has diverged into separate show and working lines. The breed suffers from average health complaints. The show-bred version of the breed has been linked to "rage syndrome", although the disorder is very rare. It is closely related to the Welsh Springer Spaniel and very closely to the English Cocker Spaniel; less than a century ago, springers and cockers would come from the same litter. The smaller "cockers" hunted woodcock while the larger littermates were used to flush, or "spring", game. In 1902, The Kennel Club recognized the English Springer Spaniel as a distinct breed.[2] They are used as sniffer dogs on a widespread basis. The term Springer comes from the historic hunting role, where the dog would flush (spring) birds into the air.

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.

After the People's Republic of China took control of Mainland China in 1949, the Republic of China government based in Taiwan continued to control the Dachen Islands off the coast of Zhejiang until 1955, even establishing a rival Zhejiang provincial government there, creating a situation similar to Fujian province today. During the Cultural Revolution (1966–76), Zhejiang was in chaos and disunity, and its economy was stagnant, especially during the high tide (1966–69) of the revolution. The agricultural policy favoring grain production at the expense of industrial and cash crops intensified economic hardships in the province. Mao’s self-reliance policy and the reduction in maritime trade cut off the lifelines of the port cities of Ningbo and Wenzhou. While Mao invested heavily in railroads in interior China, no major railroads were built in South Zhejiang, where transportation remained poor.

Visits to St Elizabeths is a poem by Elizabeth Bishop modelled on the English nursery rhyme "This is the house that Jack built". The poem refers to the confinement between 1945 and 1958 of Ezra Pound in St Elizabeths Hospital, Washington, D.C. The nursery rhyme style gives an unusual effect to the strange or unsettling descriptions of a psychiatric hospital in the poem. Likewise the poem treats Pound ambivalently describing him by turns as "honored", "brave", "cruel", and "wretched" among other things.

Whereâs My Tax Refund? How to Check Your Refund Status Where’s My Tax Refund? How to Check Your Refund Status Tax Refunds March 10, 2018 / Turbo Tax Lisa This post can be found en Español here. With refund season well underway and the average direct deposit tax refund being over $3,000 last tax season, we are hearing the common tax season question: “Where’s My Refund?”We know that you work hard for your money and often a tax refund may be the biggest check you get all year, so we’re here to let you know what happens after you hit the e-file button and how to check the status of your tax refund. Here is a breakdown of IRS processing times, how your tax return will progress through 3 stages with the IRS (“Return Received,” “Return Approved,” and “Refund Sent” once you e-file), and where you can go to check your refund status. Refund Processing Time E-filed tax returns with direct deposit – E-file with direct deposit is the fastest way to get your federal tax refund. The IRS states that nine out of 10 e-filed tax returns with direct deposit will be processed within 21 days of IRS e-file acceptance. Mailed paper returns – Refund processing time is 6 to 8 weeks from the date the IRS receives your tax return. Refund Process Start checking status 24 – 48 hours after e-file – Once you have e-filed your tax return, you can check status using IRS Where’s My Refund? You will not be able to start checking the status of your tax refund for 4 weeks if you mail a paper tax return. Return Received Notice within 24 – 48 hours after e-file – The IRS Where’s My Refund tool will show “Return Received” status once they begin processing your tax return. You will not see a refund date until the IRS finishes processing your tax return and approves your tax refund. Status change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved” – Once the IRS finishes processing your tax return and confirms your tax refund is approved, your status will change from “Return Received” to “Refund Approved.” Sometimes the change in status can take a few days, but it could take longer and a date will not be provided in Where’s My Refund? until your tax return is processed and your tax refund is approved. Where’s My Refund? tool shows refund date – The IRS will provide a personalized refund date once your status moves to “Refund Approved”. The IRS issues nine out of 10 refunds within 21 days of acceptance if you e-file with direct deposit. Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent” – If the status in Where’s My Refund? shows “Refund Sent”, the IRS has sent your tax refund to your financial institution for direct deposit. It can take 1 to 5 days for your financial institution to deposit funds into your account. If you requested that your tax refund be mailed, it could take several weeks for your check to arrive. Here are more answers to your common tax refund questions: Will I see a date right away when I check status in “Where’s My Refund”? Where’s My Refund tool will not give you a date until your tax return is received, processed, and your tax refund is approved by the IRS. It’s been longer than 21 days since the IRS has received my tax return and I have not received my tax refund. What’s happening? Some tax returns take longer than others to process depending on your tax situation. Some of the reasons it may take longer are incomplete information, an error, or the IRS needs to review it further. The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes (PATH) Act, signed into law in December 2015, requires the IRS to hold tax refunds that include Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC) and Additional Child Tax Credit (ACTC) until February 15, 2017 regardless of what method you used to file your taxes. The IRS began accepting and processing tax returns when they opened for the season on January 29, 2018. Tax refunds for those who claim Earned Income Tax Credit or Additional Child Tax Credit will begin to be issued on February 15, 2018, so there’s no need to wait! The sooner you e-file your tax return, the sooner you’ll get your tax refund. The IRS expects the earliest that taxpayers claiming the EITC or ACTC will start seeing tax refunds is February 27 if taxpayers chose e-file with direct deposit and there are no other issues with their tax return. I requested my money be automatically deposited into my bank account, but I was mailed a check. What happened? The IRS is limiting the number of direct deposits that go into a single bank account or prepaid debit card to three tax refunds per year. Your limit may have been exceeded. Haven’t filed your taxes yet? Get that much closer to your tax refund and file today. You may even be able to e-file your federal and state tax returns for absolutely nothing and have your federal tax refund in your pocket within 21 days.

On 19 November 1968, following progressive economic decline, the Keïta regime was overthrown in a bloodless military coup led by Moussa Traoré, a day which is now commemorated as Liberation Day. The subsequent military-led regime, with Traoré as president, attempted to reform the economy. His efforts were frustrated by political turmoil and a devastating drought between 1968 to 1974, in which famine killed thousands of people. The Traoré regime faced student unrest beginning in the late 1970s and three coup attempts. The Traoré regime repressed all dissenters until the late 1980s.

The Church of England declared its independence from the Catholic Church at the time of the Elizabethan Religious Settlement. Many of the new Anglican formularies of the mid-16th century corresponded closely to those of contemporary Reformed tradition. These reforms were understood by one of those most responsible for them, the then Archbishop of Canterbury Thomas Cranmer, as navigating a middle way between two of the emerging Protestant traditions, namely Lutheranism and Calvinism. By the end of the century, the retention in Anglicanism of many traditional liturgical forms and of the episcopate was already seen as unacceptable by those promoting the most developed Protestant principles.

American League The American League of Professional Baseball Clubs, or simply the American League (AL), is one of two leagues that make up Major League Baseball (MLB) in the United States and Canada. It developed from the Western League, a minor league based in the Great Lakes states, which eventually aspired to major league status. It is sometimes called the Junior Circuit because it claimed Major League status for the 1901 season, 25 years after the formation of the National League (the "Senior Circuit").

Jack Kerouac Novel Jack Kerouac Novel Last Edited: 23rd March, 2015 This essay has been submitted by a student. This is not an example of the work written by our professional essay writers. Jack Kerouac was an innovative storyteller in literature during the mid-twentieth century (Biographical). His second novel, On the Road, inspires and justifies people who wander around, hitchhiking from car to car, place to place. These wanderers are just lost in life and are on a search to find their inner free spirit (Maerz). This novel is one of living life to the fullest, n exceptions and no excuses. It's full of experience and adventure; always being on the road (Hasappi). On the Road was published in 1957 and caused much discussion. Kerouac once said, “I got sick and tired of the conventional English which seemed to me to be so ironbound in its rules, so inadmissible with reference to the actual format of my mind... If you don't stick to what you first thought, and to the words the thought brought, what's the sense of bothering with it anyway...?” (Miller 2049). Kerouac's backbone to this novel was the idea of “The New Vision” which introduced concepts that later became the start of the Beat movement. Kerouac's creativeness in writing and his inspirations made him a key element of the Beat Generation. Kerouac's search for an American identity is evident throughout his journeys in On the Road. Critic Dan Jacobson believes that Kerouac's On the Road is intriguing; not for its content, but for its writing style. The simplicity and open mindedness is attractive, not the adventures and craziness (Nyren 267). Kerouac believed in having a loose and lyrical formation of writing (Hicks). He improvised like jazz musicians do, writing whatever came to mind without revision (Hicks). Kerouac thought revision was somehow lying (Lelyveld). He called his own writing style “spontaneous prose” (Miller 2049). He didn't select his words or limit himself of anything. He let his mind run free and wrote things down exactly as they came to him (2049). His book takes on similar qualities as jazz; looking for somewhere to be. He would listen to jazz and take it as an inspiration. Just like a jazz musician takes in a deep breath and plays high and low notes, Kerouac would breath and write on the spot. If he messed up, so be it because that was the flow of thinking. A loving critic of Kerouac's, Gilbert Millstein brought him immediate attention by stating that Kerouac has produced “some of the most original work being done in this country. It is a historic occasion... the exposure of an authentic work of art” (Biographical). Kerouac's style was so unique that he even wrote an outlined paper of the process of free association called “Essentials of Spontaneous Prose” (Biographical). He used many real life people as the characters in his novels. His writing revolved around his and his friends' experiences (Miller 2049-50). “The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, desirous of everything at the same time,” was thought and written by Kerouac (Lelyveld). On the Road is full of difficulty and simplicity according to the critic Phoebe Adams (Nyren 266). On the Road not only describes Kerouac's own behaviors and attitudes rejecting American values, but allows him to observe America (Jack Kerouac). This book is based on the character Red Moultrie (Neal Cassady in real life) and his journey with Sal Paradise (Kerouac) searching for self in America (Watson 130). Almost all of Kerouac's works were autobiographical. His outlook on life was religious and tragic (Asher). According to John Brooks from the New York Times, Kerouac tends to overwrite. However, he uses a truthful thematic framework in his works. Kerouac allows the flow of life to lead him (Nyren 266). Cassady and Kerouac's drug-induced car rides across America were the inspiration for On the Road. The narrator, Sal Paradise's style describes a lifestyle based on alcohol, beauty, jazz, sex, drugs, and mysticism. The key influence for t

An indigenous language or autochthonous language is a language that is native to a region and spoken by indigenous people , often reduced to the status of a minority language . This language would be from a linguistically distinct community that has been settled in the area for many generations . Indigenous languages are not necessarily national languages , and the reverse is also true . Many indigenous peoples worldwide have stopped passing on their ancestral languages to the next generation , and have instead adopted the majority language as part of their acculturation into the majority culture . Recognizing their vulnerability , the United Nations proclaimed 2019 the International Year of Indigenous Languages , `` to draw attention to the critical loss of indigenous languages and the urgent need to preserve , revitalize and promote indigenous languages .

Aldosterone is a hormone secreted by the adrenal cortex, and insulin is a peptide secreted by the pancreas. When aldosterone contacts a target cell, it binds to an intracellular receptor and migrates to the nucleus; insulin binds to extracellular receptors on the plasma membrane. What is the most likely reason for this difference? a. Aldosterone is hydrophilic and therefore must enter the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm to have an effect. b. Aldosterone is lipid-soluble and therefore easily crosses the phospholipid bilayer of the plasma membrane.

5-in-1 Vaccine (also called Pentavalent Vaccine) 5-in-1 Vaccine (also called Pentavalent Vaccine)Key vaccine facts This page is about the 5-in-1 vaccine used in the UK until 2017. Other countries may use a different version of the 5-in-1 vaccine. If you are not from the UK please check which vaccine is used in your country, as the information here may not apply to you. See 'More information about the vaccine' at the bottom of the page. The 5-in-1 vaccine was used in the UK for many years. In late September 2017 the UK replaced it with a 6-in-1 vaccine for all babies born on or after 1st August 2017. Both vaccines give protection against diphtheria, tetanus, whooping cough (pertussis), polio and Hib disease ( Haemophilus influenzae type b). Before vaccines existed, these diseases used to kill thousands of children in the UK every year (see the table in 'More information about the vaccine' at the bottom of the page). The 6-in-1 vaccine also gives protection against hepatitis B, a cause of serious liver disease. The 5-in-1 vaccine was given to all UK babies born on or before 31st July 2017. It was given at 2, 3 and 4 months in the UK. The 5-in-1 vaccines used in the UK do not contain any live bacteria or viruses and cannot cause any of the diseases they protect against. Two brands of 5-in-1 vaccine were used in the UK: Pediacel (see the Patient Information Leaflet) and Infanrix IPV+Hib (see the Patient Information Leaflet ). Ingredients Apart from the active ingredients (the antigens), the 5-in-1 vaccines used in the UK contain very small amounts of these ingredients: A small amount of aluminium, which strengthens and lengthens the immune response to the vaccine. See more information on aluminium in vaccines. Sodium chloride (salt)Polysorbate, used as an emulsifier (to hold other ingredients together)Lactose and Medium 199 (containing amino acids, mineral salts and vitamins), both used as stabilisers (Infanrix IPV+Hib only)A very small amount of phenol, used as a preservative (Pediacel only). The Hib part of the 5-in-1 is a conjugate vaccine. Sugars are taken from the capsule around the Hib bacteria are joined to a non-toxic protein from tetanus. The protein helps to stimulate the immune system in a broader way to respond well to the vaccine. This gives a better immune response in individuals of all ages. The polio part of the vaccine is grown in the laboratory using animal cell-lines. See more information on animal cell-lines in vaccine production. Other brands of 5-in-1 vaccine used in other countries may contain different ingredients. If you are not in the UK, ask for the Patient Information leaflet for the vaccine you are offered. Side effects Common but not serious:redness, tenderness and/or swelling at the injection siteraised temperature (fever)irritabilitysicknessdiarrhoealoss of appetite Many of these symptoms can be relieved by giving paracetamol (Calpol)if your child is over 2 months, or ibuprofen if your child is over 3 months and weighs more than 5kg (see NHS Choices for more advice on giving painkillers to babies and children). More serious side effects are very rare:high temperatures, sometimes leading to fits (also called convulsions or febrile seizures)unusual high-pitched screaming and hypotonic-hyporesponsive episodes (HHE), during which the child may become blue, pale and/or limp. You should consult your doctor if these happen after vaccination. This is mainly to check that it is the vaccine causing the symptoms, and not some unrelated disease. Symptoms such as fits can be very worrying for parents, but there is no evidence of long-term effects. Children can normally safely receive vaccines in the future. For more information on febrile seizures generally, see NHS Choices. As with any vaccine, medicine or food, there is a very small chance of a severe allergic reaction (anaphylaxis). Anaphylaxis is different from less severe allergic reactions because it causes life-threatening breathing and/or circulation problems. It is always serious but can be treated with adrenaline. In the UK between 1997 and 2003 there were a total of 130 reports of anaphylaxis following ALL immunisations, but all of these people survived. Around 117 million doses of vaccines were given in the UK during this period, making the overall rate around 1 in 900,000. Depending on the cause of the reaction, and following expert guidance, the person may be able to have vaccinations in the future. Reactions listed under ‘possible side effects’ or ‘adverse events’ on vaccine product information sheets may not all be directly linked to the vaccine. See Vaccine side effects and adverse reactions for more information on why this is the case. See more information on the monitoring of vaccine safety. More information about the vaccine The full name of the 5-in-1 vaccine used in the UK is DTa P/IPV/Hib, which stands for ‘Diphtheria, Tetanus, acellular Pertussis, Inactivated Polio Vaccine, Hib ( Haemophilus influenzae type b)’. The table below shows the average number of deaths in the UK each year, before and after introduction of a vaccine: Disease Before After Diphtheria 3500 0Tetanus 140 0Pertussis 1000 3Polio 200 0Hib Disease 60 0TOTAL 4900 3Source: Public Health England and the Health Protection Agency archive The vaccine includes the acellular pertussis vaccine (the ‘a P’ in ‘DTa P’). This uses only those parts of the pertussis (whooping cough) bacteria needed to produce an immune response. This reduces the chance of serious side effects such as high temperatures, screaming episodes, and HHE (see section on 'Side effects' above). The whole cell (w P) vaccine used in the UK until 2004 contained many more antigens and had a greater risk of side effects. The 5-in-1 vaccine used in the UK also includes inactivated polio virus (IPV). As this is inactivated, it cannot cause polio (which was a very small risk with the live, oral polio vaccine used in the UK until 2004). Different countries have decided on different schedules for the 5-in-1 vaccine, based on different patterns of disease. In the UK, the three doses were given as close together as possible to give babies early protection from pertussis (whooping cough). This disease can be particularly severe in very young babies, so the earlier they are protected the better. This 'accelerated' programme was introduced in the UK in 1990. The immunisation rate in the UK for the three doses of the 5-in-1 vaccine has been around 94% since 2001, just below the World Health Organization target of 95%. However, rates are lower than 94% in some areas of the UK. For example, in London in 2014 the coverage rate was around 90%, and in some parts of London the rate was below 75%.5-in-1 vaccines in other countries Some countries such as India use a different version of the 5-in-1 vaccine. This is often called 'pentavalent vaccine'. This vaccine usually protects against a slightly different set of diseases to the 5-in-1 vaccine used in the UK: diphtheria, whooping cough (pertussis), tetanus, hepatitis B and Hib disease ( Haemophilus influenzae type b). The polio vaccine is then usually given separately as a live oral vaccine. The other main difference between this 5-in-1 vaccine and the one used in the UK is that it contains whole-cell pertussis vaccine (w P) rather than acellular pertussis vaccine (a P). Whole-cell pertussis vaccine is made using killed whole pertussis bacteria and may lead to a greater risk of side effects such as high fever and seizures (fits). Acellular pertussis vaccine is made using only parts of the pertussis bacteria and has a lower risk of side effects. If you are not from the UK please check which vaccine is used in your country, as the information on this page may not apply to you. Page last updated: Thursday, March 22, 2018

A Queen’s Momentous Reign - The Living Church A Queen’s Momentous Reign Tuesday, September 8, 2015 Letter from London By John Martin At nearly 4 years old in February 1954, from my six-foot father’s ample shoulders I waved a pennant-sized Australian flag as a royal motorcade drove slowly by. A smiling, pretty young Queen Elizabeth II and the handsome Duke Edinburgh waved amid the cheers of a huge Sydney crowd. An estimated three-quarters of Australians set eyes on the royal couple during this tour. The Queen traveled 10,000 miles by air, making approximately 33 flights, 2,000 miles by road (130 hours in cars in 207 trips), visiting all five capitals and 70 country towns. On September 9, Queen Elizabeth II will eclipse her great-great-grandmother Queen Victoria as the U.K.’s longest-reigning monarch. “Let us hope that we are beginning a new Elizabethan age no less renowned than the first,” said Clement Attlee, a former Prime Minister. That may have been an overstatement, but the 63-year reign of Elizabeth II has probably been the greatest period of change in Britain’s history. Her Majesty has given regular audiences to 12 Prime Ministers, Margaret Thatcher the longest-serving among them. As supreme governor of the Church of England she has worked with seven Archbishops of Canterbury: Geoffrey Fisher, Michael Ramsey, Donald Coggan, Robert Runcie, George Carey, Rowan Williams, and Justin Welby. She has seen seven Popes. She came to the throne and lit up a grey period of post-war rationing and austerity. Empire was on the wane. Britons might lustily sing “Land of Hope and Glory” at the BBC Proms but in 63 years a once-bombastic country would become much less sure of its place in the world as its power and influence shrank. The watershed year was 1956 and the Suez Crisis. Prime Minister Anthony Eden was forced into a humiliating climbdown, and it became clear Britain was no longer a global power. Between 1945 and 1965 the number of colonial people ruled by the British monarch plunged from 700 million to 5 million. Empire was already morphing into a much more benign Commonwealth, notably with Indian independence in 1947. The process proceeded in earnest with the independence of Ghana a decade later. Nigeria, Sierra Leone, Kenya, Uganda, and many more nations followed in quick succession. The movement to autonomous dioceses and provinces in the Anglican Communion began somewhat ahead of these political movements. Until the mid-1950s U.K. missionary bishops destined for territories within the Empire would be bid farewell from Lambeth Palace, their salaries met by U.K. mission boards, diocesan associations, or the Overseas Bishoprics fund. Church leaders seemed more aware of the winds of change than many of the politicians. Archbishop Geoffrey Fisher acted to find indigenous leaders. Working with Canon Max Warren of the Church Missionary Society, Fisher cast an eye over early national church constitutions and traveled to East African to consecrate two Africans, Festo Olang and Obadiah Kariuki, at Namirembe Cathedral in Kampala, Uganda, on March 15, 1955. The new Anglicanism was setting a course in which autonomous provinces would become self-led, self funding, self-propagating, and now even self-theologizing. Anglicanism already had Lambeth Conferences. Asians and Africans outnumbered white bishops by 1978. Two other instruments of communion, the Anglican Consultative Council and Primates Meetings, emerged in the 1970s and 1980s. The debate now is whether these instruments are any longer fit for purpose or simply represent a transitional phase as global Anglicanism moves in new directions. The idea of televising Queen Elizabeth’s coronation on June 2, 1952, was deemed unthinkable by the Palace and Prime Minister Winston Churchill. He was reputed to have said, “I don’t want it watched in pubs by men with hats on.” But they were forced to give way to public opinion and TV ownership doubled to over 27 million. The best index of social change is how much media have changed. The Queen has a huge regard for the Commonwealth. Whether he

Ancient Greek philosophers like Thales, Anaxagoras (ca. 500 BC – 428 BC), Epicurus and Democritus prefigure later materialists. The Latin poem De Rerum Natura by Lucretius (ca. 99 BC – ca. 55 BC) reflects the mechanistic philosophy of Democritus and Epicurus. According to this view, all that exists is matter and void, and all phenomena result from different motions and conglomerations of base material particles called "atoms" (literally: "indivisibles"). De Rerum Natura provides mechanistic explanations for phenomena such as erosion, evaporation, wind, and sound. Famous principles like "nothing can touch body but body" first appeared in the works of Lucretius. Democritus and Epicurus however did not hold to a monist ontology since they held to the ontological separation of matter and space i.e. space being "another kind" of being, indicating that the definition of "materialism" is wider than given scope for in this article.

cytoplasm cytoplasm The human body is made up of cells, and within every cell is a nucleus — everything else contained within the cell walls is the cytoplasm. This is one of many technical terms for the little building blocks of life within us all. Cytoplasm is material in a cell, such as mitochondria, that aren't the cell's nucleus and control the cell's metabolism. Cytoplasm is full of proteins, which are essential to your body. Cytoplasm is also called protoplasm. To see cytoplasm, you'll need a microscope. To understand cytoplasm, you'll need a good biology teacher and textbook.

The Bold and the Beautiful Upon its debut as the replacement of former soap opera "Capitol" in the CBS Daytime lineup, "The Bold and the Beautiful" ended eighth in the final year ratings. Initially CBS' lowest-rated soap, its numbers were still respectable and began to climb. By 1992, after a successful crossover involving villain Sheila Carter from "The Young and the Restless", it had climbed to third. By the mid-to-late 1990s, following yet another crossover, it moved up to second and has consistently remained there since. Throughout the 2000s (decade), "The Bold and the Beautiful" and all the other remaining network daytime dramas have witnessed a steady erosion of viewers, mainly due to vastly altered viewing habits induced by cable networks and alternative genres such as reality, court shows, and talk shows on minor network affiliates.
