Question: What country refused to allow forces to stage within it?

Demilitarized zone
A demilitarized zone, DMZ or DZ is an area in which treaties or agreements between nations, military powers or contending groups forbid military installations, activities or personnel. A DMZ often lies along an established frontier or boundary between two or more military powers or alliances. A DMZ may sometimes form a "de facto" international border, such as the 38th parallel between North and South Korea. Other examples of demilitarized zones are a wide area between Iraq and Kuwait, Antarctica (preserved for scientific exploration and study) and outer space (space more than from the earth's surface). Many demilitarized zones are considered neutral territory because neither side is allowed to control it, even for non-combat administration. Some zones remain demilitarized after an agreement has awarded control to a state which

East Germany
East Germany, officially the German Democratic Republic (GDR; , ), was a country that existed from 1949 to 1990, when the eastern portion of Germany was part of the Eastern Bloc during the Cold War. It described itself as a socialist "workers' and peasants' state", and the territory was administered and occupied by Soviet forces at the end of World War II — the Soviet occupation zone of the Potsdam Agreement, bounded on the east by the Oder–Neisse line. The Soviet zone surrounded West Berlin but did not include it; as a result, West Berlin remained outside the jurisdiction of the GDR. The German Democratic Republic was established in the Soviet zone, while the Federal Republic was established in the three western zones. East Germany was a satellite

Eastern Front (World War II)
The Eastern Front of World War II was a theatre of conflict between the European Axis powers and co-belligerent Finland against the Soviet Union (U.S.S.R.), Poland and other Allies, which encompassed Central Europe, Eastern Europe, Northeast Europe (Baltics), and Southeast Europe (Balkans) from 22 June 1941 to 9 May 1945. It has been known as the Great Patriotic War (,"Velikaya Otechestvennaya Voyna") in the former Soviet Union and modern Russia, while in Germany it was called the Eastern Front (), or the German-Soviet War by outside parties. The battles on the Eastern Front of the Second World War constituted the largest military confrontation in history. They were characterized by unprecedented ferocity, wholesale destruction, mass deportations, and immense loss of life due to combat, starvation, exposure, disease, and massacres.

Western Sahara
Western Sahara ( ""; ; Spanish and French: ) is a disputed territory on the northwest coast and in the Maghreb region of North and West Africa, partially controlled by the self-proclaimed Sahrawi Arab Democratic Republic and partially occupied by neighboring Morocco. Its surface area amounts to . It is one of the most sparsely populated territories in the world, mainly consisting of desert flatlands. The population is estimated at just over 500,000, of which nearly 40% live in Laayoune, the largest city in Western Sahara. Occupied by Spain until the late 20th century, Western Sahara has been on the United Nations list of non-self-governing territories since 1963 after a Moroccan demand. It is the most populous territory on that list, and by far the largest in area.

Theater (warfare)
In warfare, a theater or theatre (see spelling differences) is an area in which important military events occur or are progressing. A theater can include the entirety of the airspace, land and sea area that is or that may potentially become involved in war operations. Theater of war. In his book "On War", Carl von Clausewitz defines the term as one that: "Denotes properly such a portion of the space over which war prevails as has its boundaries protected, and thus possesses a kind of independence. This protection may consist of fortresses, or important natural obstacles presented by the country, or even in its being separated by a considerable distance from the rest of the space embraced in the war. Such a portion is not a mere piece

The country that refused to allow forces to stage within it is East Germany.

Answer: East Germany, during the Cold War, did not allow military forces from other countries to stage within its borders.

Question: How did the first viewers refer to the media?

Media (communication)
Media are the communication outlets or tools used to store and deliver information or data. The term refers to components of the mass media communications industry, such as print media, publishing, the news media, photography, cinema, broadcasting (radio and television), and advertising. The development of early writing and paper enabled longer-distance communication systems such as mail, including in the Persian Empire (Chapar Khaneh and Angarium) and Roman Empire, which can be interpreted as early forms of media. Writers such as Howard Rheingold have framed early forms of human communication as early forms of media, such as the Lascaux cave paintings and early writing. Another framing of the history of media starts with the Chauvet Cave paintings and continues with other ways to carry human communication beyond the short

Media (communication)
range of voice: smoke signals, trail markers, and sculpture. The term "media" in its modern application relating to communication channels was first used by Canadian communications theorist Marshall McLuhan, who stated in "Counterblast" (1954): "The media are not toys; they should not be in the hands of Mother Goose and Peter Pan executives. They can be entrusted only to new artists, because they are art forms." By the mid-1960s, the term had spread to general use in North America and the United Kingdom. The phrase "mass media" was, according to H.L. Mencken, used as early as 1923 in the United States. The term "medium" (the singular form of "media") is defined as "one of the means or channels of general communication, information, or entertainment in society, as newspapers,

News media
informative communication, in contrast to purely propaganda or entertainment communication. The term press comes from the printing press of Johannes Gutenberg in the sixteenth century and which, from the eighteenth century, was used to print newspapers, then the only existing journalistic vehicles. From the middle of the 20th century onwards, newspapers also began to be broadcast and broadcast (radio news and television news) and, with the advent of the World Wide Web, also came the online newspapers, or cyberjornais, or webjornais. The term "press", however, was maintained. Broadcasting. Broadcasting is the distribution of audio and video signals (programs) to a number of recipients ("listeners" or "viewers") that belong to a large group. This group may be the public in general, or a relatively large audience within the public.

Media consumption
Media consumption or media diet is the sum of information and entertainment media taken in by an individual or group. It includes activities such as interacting with new media, reading books and magazines, watching television and film, and listening to radio. An active media consumer must have the capacity for skepticism, judgement, free thinking, questioning, and understanding. History. For as long as there have been words and pictures, the people of the world have been consuming media. Improved technology such as the printing press has fed increased consumption. Around 1600 the camera obscura was perfected. Light was inverted through a small hole or lens from outside, and projected onto a surface or screen, creating a moving image. This new medium had a very small effect on society compared

Broadcasting
Broadcasting is the distribution of audio or video content to a dispersed audience via any electronic mass communications medium, but typically one using the electromagnetic spectrum (radio waves), in a one-to-many model. Broadcasting began with AM radio, which came into popular use around 1920 with the spread of vacuum tube radio transmitters and receivers. Before this, all forms of electronic communication (early radio, telephone, and telegraph) were one-to-one, with the message intended for a single recipient. The term "broadcasting" evolved from its use as the agricultural method of sowing seeds in a field by casting them broadly about. It was later adopted for describing the widespread distribution of information by printed materials or by telegraph. Examples applying it to "one-to-many" radio transmissions of an individual station to multiple

The first viewers referred to the media as "the means or channels of general communication, information, or entertainment in society, as newspapers."

Answer: The first viewers of media may not have used the term "media" at all, as it was not coined until much later. Early forms of media such as cave paintings and smoke signals were likely referred to by the specific names for those methods of communication. The term "media" in its modern application to communication channels was first used by Marshall McLuhan in the 1950s.


Question: how fast can a human run in km/h

Running
speed, is the maximum speed at which a human can run. It is affected by many factors, varies greatly throughout the population, and is important in athletics and many sports. The fastest human footspeed on record is 44.7 km/h (12.4 m/s, 27.8 mph), seen during a 100-meter sprint (average speed between the 60th and the 80th meter) by Usain Bolt. Running events.:Events by type. - Track running Track running events are individual or relay events with athletes racing over specified distances on an oval running track. The events are categorized as sprints, middle and long-distance, and hurdling. - Road running Road running takes place on a measured course over an established road (as opposed to track and cross country running). These events normally range from distances of 5

Footspeed
body weight in pressure on the running surface. For this reason, muscle mass in the legs, relative to total body weight, is a key factor in maximizing footspeed. Limits of speed. The record was 44.72 km/h (27.8 mph), measured between meter 60 and meter 80 of the 100 meters sprint of the World Championships in Berlin on 16 August 2009 by Usain Bolt. (Bolt's "average" speed over the course of this race was 37.58 km/h or 23.35 mph.) Maximum human sprint speed is strikingly slower than that of many animals. Compared to other land animals, humans are exceptionally capable of endurance, but incapable of great speed. Examples of animals with higher sprinting speeds include cheetahs which can attain short bursts of speed well over 100 km/h (62 mph),

Transition from walking to running
changes from one gait to another. Humans spontaneously switch from a walk to a run as speed increases. In humans, the preferred transition speed from walking to running typically occurs around 2.0 m/s (4.5 mph), although slight differences have been shown based on testing methodology. Why transition from walking to running at the PTS? Humans are capable of walking at speeds faster than 2.0 m/s, and capable of running at speeds slower than 2.0 m/s. As humans can walk or run at the same pace, researchers have attempted to explain why humans choose the transition speed that they do. Early researchers suggested that humans transition from walking to running in order to minimize energetic costs. These researchers suggested that the energetic cost to run above 2.0 m/s is

Footspeed
Footspeed, or sprint speed, is the maximum speed at which a human can run. It is affected by many factors, varies greatly throughout the population, and is important in athletics and many sports, such as association football, rugby, American football, track and field, hockey, baseball and basketball. Factors in speed. The key determinant of footspeed in sprinting is the predominance of one distinct type of muscle fibre over another, specifically the ratio of fast-twitch muscles to slow-twitch muscles in a sprinter's physical makeup. Though fast-twitch muscles produce no more energy than slow-twitch muscles when they contract, they do so more rapidly through a process of anaerobic metabolism, though at the cost of inferior efficiency over longer periods of firing. The average human has an almost-equal ratio of fast-twitch

Kilometres per hour
The kilometre per hour (American English: kilometer per hour) is a unit of speed, expressing the number of kilometres travelled in one hour. Internationally, km/h is the most commonly used unit of speed on traffic signs and speedometers. History. Although the metre was formally defined in 1799, the term "kilometres per hour" did not come into immediate use – the myriametre () and myriametre per hour were preferred to kilometres and kilometres per hour. In 1802 the term ""myriamètres par heure"" appeared in French literature and many French maps printed in the first half of the nineteenth century had scales in leagues and myriametres, but not in kilometres. The Dutch on the other hand adopted the kilometre in 1817 but gave it the local name of the "mijl".

The fastest human footspeed on record is 44.7 km/h, achieved by Usain Bolt during a 100-meter sprint.

Answer: The fastest human running speed on record is 44.72 km/h (27.8 mph), which was achieved by Usain Bolt during the 100-meter sprint at the World Championships in Berlin on August 16, 2009. However, the average human sprinting speed is lower, around 37.58 km/h (23.35 mph).

Dorsett had been relegated to a backup role to Herschel Walker for most of 1987 and was traded to the Denver Broncos during the offseason. The 1988 season faced hardship from the release of the schedule. In 1987, Dallas had finished at 7–8, in a 3-way tie for second place in the NFC East and tiebreaking rules gave Dallas the “second place position”, even though Dallas finished fifth (last) in the NFC East in 1987 in “union games” (i.e. a strong replacement team had inflated the Boys’ ‘87 record). As a result, their 1988 schedule was primarily against teams that were strong in

Question: What property of thorium oxide has caused it to no longer be used in eyeglasses?

Thorium dioxide
mantles still use thorium, but yttrium oxide (or sometimes zirconium oxide) is used increasingly as a replacement. Applications.:Glass manufacture. When added to glass, thorium dioxide helps increase its refractive index and decrease dispersion. Such glass finds application in high-quality lenses for cameras and scientific instruments. The radiation from these lenses can darken them and turn them yellow over a period of years and degrade film, but the health risks are minimal. Yellowed lenses may be restored to their original colourless state by lengthy exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation. Thorium dioxide has since been replaced by rare-earth oxides such as lanthanum oxide in almost all modern high-index glasses, as they provide similar effects and are not radioactive.

Thorium
dioxide. An alloy of 90% platinum and 10% thorium is an effective catalyst for oxidising ammonia to nitrogen oxides, but this has been replaced by an alloy of 95% platinum and 5% rhodium because of its better mechanical properties and greater durability. When added to glass, thorium dioxide helps increase its refractive index and decrease dispersion. Such glass finds application in high-quality lenses for cameras and scientific instruments. The radiation from these lenses can darken them and turn them yellow over a period of years and it degrades film, but the health risks are minimal. Yellowed lenses may be restored to their original colourless state by lengthy exposure to intense ultraviolet radiation. Thorium dioxide has since been replaced by rare-earth oxides in this application, as they provide similar

Thoriated glass
Thoriated glass is a glass material used in the manufacture of optical systems, specifically photographic lenses. It is useful to this process due to its high refractive index. Thoriated glass is radioactive due to the inclusion of thorium dioxide, oxide of radioactive element thorium. It has therefore been succeeded as a material of choice by glass including lanthanum oxide. Thoriated glass can contain up to 30% by weight of thorium. The thoriated glass elements in lenses over time develop a brown tint reducing transmission and interfering with neutral color reproduction. Many Kodak and Asahi Takumar lenses that were produced prior to the 1960s are radioactive. Radiation browning. Over extended time periods, thoriated glass may develop significant discoloration. This is due to induced F-centers forming in the glass as

Their use in long-focal-length lens assemblies was pioneered by Leitz. Before their availability, calcium fluoride in the form of fluorite crystals were used as material for these lenses; however the low refraction index of calcium fluoride required high curvatures of the lenses, therefore increasing spherical aberration. Fluorite has poor shape retention and is very fragile. Abnormal dispersion is required for design of apochromat lenses. Glass with addition of thorium dioxide has high refraction and low dispersion and was in use since before World War 2, but its radioactivity led to its replacement with other compositions. Even during WW2, Kodak managed to make high-performance thorium-free

Canon FD 55mm f/1.2 AL
incorporated thoriated glass, a kind of optical glass that is doped with thorium dioxide. The inclusion of this compound makes the glass radioactive. Over time, thorium decay causes F-centers to form in the glass, resulting in an amber discoloration. The discoloration can be repaired by exposure to a source of ultraviolet radiation, such as direct sunlight.

Thorium oxide is no longer used in eyeglasses due to its radioactivity.

Answer: Thorium oxide's radioactivity is the property that has caused it to no longer be used in eyeglasses. This radiation can darken and turn the glasses yellow over time, degrading the film and posing minimal health risks. Rare-earth oxides such as lanthanum oxide have since replaced thorium oxide as they provide similar effects and are not radioactive.

Question: do betta fish get lonely

Siamese fighting fish
Males and females flare or puff out their gill covers (opercula) to appear more impressive, either to intimidate other rivals or as an act of courtship. Other reasons for flaring can include when they are intimidated by movement or change of scene in their environments. Both sexes display pale horizontal bars if stressed or frightened. However, such colour changes, common in females of any age, are rare in mature males due to their intensity of colour. Females often flare at other females, especially when setting up a pecking order. Flirting fish behave similarly, with vertical instead of horizontal stripes indicating a willingness and readiness to breed (females only). "Betta splendens" enjoy a decorated tank, being a territorial fish it is necessary to establish territory even when housed alone.

King betta

Male and female king bettas flare or puff out their gills in order to appear more impressive, either to intimidate rivals or to flirt. Other reasons for gill flaring is that they the betta is startled. Females often flare their gills at other females (rare in "B. splendens".) Bettas sometimes require a place to hide, even in solitude. They may set up a territory centered on a plant or rock, which they guard very dearly. This breed is not appropriate for the regular community tank. Maintenance. When maintaining the aquariums for this breed, instead of using substrate, breeders go for driftwood roots or branches, bark of Beech or oak and position them in a

Betta
Betta, is a large genus of small, often colorful, freshwater ray-finned fishes, known as "bettas", in the gourami family (Osphronemidae). The best known "Betta" species is "B. splendens," commonly known as the Siamese fighting fish. Characteristics. All the "Betta" species are small fishes, but they vary considerably in size, ranging from under 2.5 cm (1 in) total length in "B. chanoides" to 14 cm (5.5 in) in the Akar betta ("B. akarensis"). Bettas are anabantoids, which means they can breathe atmospheric air using a unique organ called the labyrinth. This accounts for their ability to thrive in low-oxygen water conditions that would kill most other fish, such as rice paddies, slow-moving streams, drainage ditches, and large puddles. The bettas exhibit two kinds of spawning behaviour: some build bubble

Pseudomystus
catfish or false bumblebee catfish. These nocturnal fish may disappear into an aquarium for months. These catfish can consume smaller tankmates. They do well in a community set-up. However, as they are territorial each individual will need its own cave; damaged tails due to territorial disputes is a sign there are not enough retreats. They are highly adaptable and can live in almost any water condition (though extremes should be avoided). There have been no known spawnings in captivity.

Dither fish
The term dither fish refers to an arbitrary group of aquarium fish, commonly used by aquarists, to help reduce innate timidity and aggression as well as to promote normal social behaviour in the other fish housed within the same aquarium. Dither fish help reduce anxiety of some nervous species of fish by allowing the fearful species to see that it is safe to leave cover and eat the food that has been given to them. Commonly used dither fish are typical schooling species, such as some "Danio", barb and tetra species, and are most often used in cichlid tanks. Dither fish are typically fish that swim around the top of a tank, a behavior that reassures more timid fish that no predators are nearby, and are found naturally

Betta fish are generally solitary and do not require companionship. They can become stressed or aggressive if kept with other bettas or incompatible tank mates. However, some bettas may benefit from the presence of a dither fish to reduce stress.

Answer: Betta fish, also known as Siamese fighting fish, are territorial and can live alone without getting lonely, as they are used to establishing their territory even when housed alone. However, providing them with decorations and hiding places can help reduce stress. In contrast, Pseudomystus catfish, or false bumblebee catfish, are social and may show signs of stress or anxiety if kept alone and benefit from being kept in a community tank with enough retreats for each individual.

Both parties have lived apart for a continuous period of at least one year immediately preceding the date of application, and the respondent consents to the decree. 5. Both parties have lived apart for a continuous period of at least three years immediately preceding the date of application. 6. The marriage has broken down to the extent that the court is satisfied in all the circumstances that a normal marital relationship has not existed between the spouses for a period of at least one year immediately preceding the date of the application. Of the six grounds, the latter forms the basis of the vast majority of judicial separation decrees. A "normal marital relationship" is not defined. The court must only

be grounds or a cause of action to get a judicial decree of separation, such as "cruel and inhuman treatment ... abandonment ... neglect or refusal [to] support ... adultery by the defendant, [or] confinement of the defendant in prison ..." Reconciliation is allowed. So, therefore, separation is revocable; state laws may require "the joint application of the parties, accompanied with satisfactory evidence of their reconciliation ... by the court which rendered it, subject to such regulations and restrictions as the court thinks fit to impose."

Legal separation
Legal separation (sometimes judicial separation, separate maintenance, divorce a mensa et thoro, or divorce from bed-and-board) is a legal process by which a married couple may formalize a "de facto" separation while remaining legally married. A legal separation is granted in the form of a court order. In cases where children are involved, a court order of legal separation often makes child custody arrangements, specifying sole custody or shared parenting, as well as child support. Some couples obtain a legal separation as an alternative to a divorce, based on moral or religious objections to divorce. Legal separation does not automatically lead to divorce. The couple might reconcile, in which case they do not have to do anything in order to continue their marriage. If the two do not

status" of legal/judicial separation, which exists only in some jurisdictions, and requires filing the courts for it. For example, there is no such thing as legal separation in Canada, but the term ‘legal separation’ has gained widespread use to describe the contract that is created between two spouses at the time of their separation. The contract is referred to as a separation agreement and is a legally binding written agreement voluntarily signed by two spouses (either married or common law) who have separated. In Ontario, a separation agreement is unenforceable unless made in writing, signed by the parties and witnessed. This written agreement usually resolves all issues arising from the separation, including custody and access, child support, spousal support and the division of property. One issue a separation

The requirements for legal separation vary by jurisdiction, but generally include:
- A period of continuous separation (e.g., one or three years).
- Consent from both parties or specific grounds (e.g., cruelty, abandonment, adultery).
- A court order or decree.
- In some places, a written separation agreement may be required.
- Reconciliation may revoke the separation.

Answer:
 In order to obtain a legal separation, the following requirements are generally met:

1. The couple must have lived apart for a certain period, depending on the specific laws of the jurisdiction. This could be for a continuous period of one year or more, or three years or more.
2. The marriage must have broken down to the extent that a normal marital relationship no longer exists between the spouses.
3. One of the grounds for legal separation must be present, such as cruel and inhuman treatment, abandonment, neglect, refusal to support, adultery, or confinement in prison.

In some countries, such as the Philippines, there may be additional requirements, such as a waiting period before filing for legal separation.

Legal separation does not automatically lead to divorce, and reconciliation is allowed. In some jurisdictions, there is a legal status called legal separation, which requires a court order and may involve the resolution of issues such as child custody and support, but is not the same as a divorce. In other jurisdictions, the term "legal separation" may refer to a separation agreement, which is a legally binding contract between the spouses outlining the terms of their separation.

In 21 of 27 OECD countries with comparable data, the number of women graduating from university-level programmes is equal to or exceeds that of men. 15-year-old girls tend to show much higher expectations for their careers than boys of the same age. While women account for more than half of university graduates in several OECD countries, they receive only 30% of tertiary degrees granted in science and engineering fields, and women account for only 25% to 35% of researchers in most OECD countries.

On the other hand, the system has been criticised for placing excessive pressure on students while eschewing creativity and producing an excess supply of over-educated university graduates and a high graduate unemployment rate. With a large number of university graduates seeking a limited number of prestigious white collar jobs in an economic environment that is increasingly losing its competitive edge, this has led many graduates to be employed in lower end jobs with salaries far beneath than their expectations.
