In Hebrew, "El" signifies "God" and "Sheba" means "abundance", so the name Eli-sheba can be translated as "God is abundance". The Hebrew Bible records that Elisheba and Aaron had four sons: Nadab, Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar ().

women, in contrast to the Neo-Confucianism of the later Song dynasty that saw practices like foot-binding, widow suicide, and widow chastity become socially normative. This image of women's freedom comes from the fact that the Tang Empire was governed by several powerful women for half a century. Wu Zetian rose from the position of Emperor Gaozong's concubine to govern the country in various roles, first as his empress consort, later as regent for his heir, before declaring herself emperor () of a new Zhou dynasty in 690. Other major female players in politics at this time included Empress Wei and Princess Taiping. Attitudes towards women could be derisive, however, as demonstrated in diplomacy between the Tang rulers with female sovereigns of other states. Emperor Taizong famously told the

Women in ancient and imperial China
impoverished due to the death of their husbands, Cheng stated: "To starve to death is a small matter, but to lose one's chastity is a great matter." Chaste widows were praised, and while it was normal for widows to remarry in the early Song period, remarriage would later become a social stigma, which led to hardship and loneliness for many widows. The poetess Li Qingzhao, after her first husband Zhao Mingcheng died, remarried briefly when she was 49, for which she was strongly criticised in her lifetime. While it is commonly argued that the decline of the status of women from the Song dynasty to the Qing was due to the rise of neo-Confucianism, others have also suggested that the cause may be more complex, a result of

Women in ancient and imperial China
Sima Guang saw men and woman as being part of the yin and yang order, with the distinction and separation extending to the inner (women) and outer (men), whereby women should remain indoor and not go out from the age of 10, and women should not discuss the matter of men in the outside world. The prominent neo-Confucian Zhu Xi was also accused of believing in the inferiority of women and that men and women needed to be kept strictly separate. Zhu Xi and neo-Confucians such as Cheng Yi also placed strong emphasis on chastity, with Cheng Yi accused of promoting the cult of widow chastity. Cheng Yi considered it improper to marry a widow as she had lost her integrity, and as for widows who had become

Taizi
Taizi (Chinese: , "tàizǐ", "Supreme Son") was the title of the crown prince of imperial China. Succession. Traditional Confucian political theory favored strict agnatic primogeniture, with younger sons displaying filial obedience to the eldest upon the passing of the father. This rather straightforward system was somewhat complicated by polygamy: since later wives were subordinated to the first, their children even when born first were likewise subordinated to hers. Following Lu Gu's conversion of Liu Bang to Confucianism in the early 1st century BC, Chinese dynasties observed it in theory though not always in practice. Liu Bang himself began to favor Concubine Qi, a later concubine, to his primary empress, Lü Zhi, and doubted the competence of his heir Liu Ying. Even worse conflicts could occur when invaders previously

roles of Egyptian women and the women of Athens. He observed that Egyptian women attended market and were employed in trade. In ancient Egypt, middle-class women were eligible to sit on a local tribunal, engage in real estate transactions, and inherit or bequeath property. Women also secured loans, and witnessed legal documents. Athenian women were denied such rights. Greek influence spread, however, with the conquests of Alexander the Great, who was educated by Aristotle. During this time period in China, gender roles and patriarchy remained shaped by Confucianism. Adopted as the official religion in the Han dynasty, Confucianism has strong dictates regarding the behavior of women, declaring a woman's place in society, as well as outlining virtuous behavior. "Three Obediences and Four Virtues", a Confucian text, places a

Liu Bang favored Concubine Qi over his primary empress, Lü Zhi, indicating he thought being a concubine might be seen as better than being a wife in his context.

Answer: There is no evidence in the provided text that anyone held the belief that being a concubine was better than being a wife. The text discusses the power and influence of empresses and concubines in ancient China, as well as the societal expectations and attitudes towards women during that time, but it does not suggest that anyone believed being a concubine was preferable to being a wife.

Question: What does a barometer measure?

Barometer
A barometer is a scientific instrument that is used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. Pressure tendency can forecast short term changes in the weather. Many measurements of air pressure are used within surface weather analysis to help find surface troughs, pressure systems and frontal boundaries. Barometers and pressure altimeters (the most basic and common type of altimeter) are essentially the same instrument, but used for different purposes. An altimeter is intended to be used at different levels matching the corresponding atmospheric pressure to the altitude, while a barometer is kept at the same level and measures subtle pressure changes caused by weather and elements of weather. Etymology. The word "barometer" is derived from the , and "-meter" from Ancient Greek: μέτρον ("measure"). History. Although Evangelista

Microbarometer
Microbarometers are sensitive barometers that can measure air pressure with high precision. Microbarometers typically have a resolution of microbars (μbar) or pascals (Pa), while ordinary barometers can only resolve in hectopascals (hPa) or millibars (mbar). Recording microbarometers, or microbarographs, distributed around the world are planned to be used to monitor compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (upon entry into force) by detecting the infrasound signature of a nuclear explosion, which can propagate for very long distances. By analyzing the data received at several of these monitoring stations, the location and yield of the explosion can be determined. A microbarometer used as a pressure altimeter would be able to resolve altitude differences on the order of centimeters, but for the presence of infrasonic noise such as microbaroms.

They are created via photolithography or photochemical machining. Typical applications include miniaturized weather stations, electronic barometers and altimeters. A barometer can also be found in smartphones such as the Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Samsung Galaxy S3-S6, Motorola Xoom, Apple iPhone 6 smartphones, and Timex Expedition WS4 smartwatch, based on MEMS and piezoresistive pressure-sensing technologies. Inclusion of barometers on smartphones was originally intended to provide a faster GPS lock. However, third party researchers were unable to confirm additional GPS accuracy or lock speed due to barometric readings.

Even Aristotle noted this in some of his work as the difficulty to measure the air. Sets of surface measurements are important data to meteorologists. They give a snapshot of a variety of weather conditions at one single location and are usually at a weather station, a ship or a weather buoy. The measurements taken at a weather station can include any number of atmospheric observables. Usually, temperature, pressure, wind measurements, and humidity are the variables that are measured by a thermometer, barometer, anemometer, and hygrometer, respectively.

Answer: A barometer is a scientific instrument used to measure air pressure in a certain environment. It can help forecast short term changes in the weather and is derived from the Greek word for "measure." Microbarometers, a sensitive type of barometer, can measure air pressure with high precision and are used to monitor compliance with the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty by detecting the infrasound signature of a nuclear explosion. MEMS barometers, a small and common type of barometer, are included in various devices such as smartphones and smartwatches. Meteorologists use sets of surface measurements, including temperature, pressure, wind, and humidity, to understand weather conditions at a specific location. A "weather gauge" is a general term for any meteorological instrument used to measure weather quantitatively.


Question: What ideology was widely promoted during this time?

Themes in Nazi propaganda
The propaganda of the National Socialist German Workers' Party regime that governed Germany from 1933 to 1945 promoted Nazi ideology by demonizing the enemies of the Nazi Party, notably Jews and communists, but also capitalists and intellectuals. It promoted the values asserted by the Nazis, including heroic death, "Führerprinzip" (leader principle), "Volksgemeinschaft" (people's community), "Blut und Boden" (blood and soil) and pride in the Germanic "Herrenvolk" (master race). Propaganda was also used to maintain the cult of personality around Nazi leader Adolf Hitler, and to promote campaigns for eugenics and the annexation of German-speaking areas. After the outbreak of World War II, Nazi propaganda vilified Germany's enemies, notably the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union and the United States, and in 1943 exhorted the population to total war.

Stalinism
Stalinism is the means of governing and related policies implemented from around 1927 to 1953 by Joseph Stalin (1878–1953). Stalinist policies and ideas as developed in the Soviet Union included rapid industrialization, the theory of socialism in one country, a totalitarian state, collectivization of agriculture, a cult of personality and subordination of the interests of foreign communist parties to those of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, deemed by Stalinism to be the leading vanguard party of communist revolution at the time. Stalinism promoted the escalation of class conflict, utilizing state violence to forcibly purge society of the bourgeoisie, whom Stalinist doctrine regarded as threats to the pursuit of the communist revolution. This policy resulted in substantial political violence and persecution of such people. "Enemies" included not

Imperialism
Imperialism is a policy or ideology of extending a nation's rule over foreign nations, often by military force or by gaining political and economic control of other areas. Imperialism was both normal and common "worldwide" throughout recorded history, the earliest examples dating from the mid-third millennium BC, diminishing only in the late 20th century. In recent times, it has been considered morally reprehensible and prohibited by international law. Therefore, the term is used in international propaganda to denounce an opponent's foreign policy. The term can be applied to the colonization of the Americas between the 15th and 19th centuries, as opposed to New Imperialism, which describes the expansion of Western Powers and Japan during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. However, both are examples of imperialism. Etymology

Bourgeois liberalization
Bourgeois liberalization () refers to either parliamentary democracy or Western popular culture. The late 1980s saw the first major usage of the term when a number of campaigns against bourgeois liberalism were initiated lasting till the early 1990s. The term is in active use in Chinese politics, with the Communist Party's Constitution stating party objectives include "combat[ing] bourgeois liberalization" in line with the four cardinal principles. See also. - Bourgeoisie - Liberalism

Answer:
 During the time of Nazi propaganda in Germany from 1933 to 1945, the ideology promoted was Nazi ideology, which included the demonization of enemies such as Jews, communists, capitalists, and intellectuals, as well as the values of heroic death, "Führerprinzip" (leader principle), "Volksgemeinschaft" (people's community), "Blut und Boden" (blood and soil), and pride in the Germanic "Herrenvolk" (master race). After the outbreak of World War II, Nazi propaganda also vilified Germany's enemies, notably the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and the United States.

During the First Red Scare in the United States from 1917 to 1920, there was a widespread fear of a potential rise of communism or anarchism, and the ideology promoted was anti-communist and anti-anarchist. During Stalinist times in the Soviet Union from around 1927 to 1953, the ideology promoted was Stalinism, which included rapid industrialization, a totalitarian state, collectivization of agriculture, a cult of personality, and the subordination of foreign communist parties to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.

There was no mention of bourgeois liberalization in the provided context.

Question: To what very common consumer items do the IEC codes R6 and R03 and equivalent ANSI codes AA and AAA refer?

AAA battery
An AAA or triple-A battery is a standard size of dry cell battery commonly used in low-drain portable electronic devices. A zinc–carbon battery in this size is designated by IEC as "R03", by ANSI C18.1 as "24", by old JIS standard as "UM 4", and by other manufacturer and national standard designations that vary depending on the cell chemistry. A triple-A battery is a single cell and measures in diameter and in length, including the positive terminal button, which is a minimum . The positive terminal has a maximum diameter of ; the flat negative terminal has a minimum diameter of . Alkaline AAA batteries weigh around , while primary lithium AAA batteries weigh about . Rechargeable nickel–metal hydride (NiMH) AAA batteries typically weigh . Use. AAA batteries

Electrical wiring in the United Kingdom
4662 format are only available in a comparatively limited range of designs and lack the product diversity and design sophistication found in other European markets. The UK installation-accessory industry is therefore occasionally criticised for being overly conservative. As many modern types of electrical accessories (e.g., home automation control elements from non-UK manufacturers) are not available in BS 4662 format, other standard mounting boxes are increasingly used as well, such as those defined in DIN 49073-1 (60 mm diameter, 45 mm deep, fixing screws 60 mm apart) or, less commonly in the UK, ANSI/NEMA OS-1. The commonly used domestic wall-mount socket used in the UK for currents up to 13 A is defined in BS 1363-2 and normally includes a switch. For higher currents or three-phase supplies, IEC 60309

derived from BS 546.:South African SANS 164. The South African standard SANS 164 "Plug and socket-outlet systems for household and similar purposes for use in South Africa" defines a number of derivatives of BS 546. A household plug and socket is defined in SANS 164-1, and is essentially a modernised version of the BS 546 15 A (the essential differences are that pins can be hollowed to reduce the amount of metal used, the dimensions are metricated, and it is rated 16 A). SANS 164-3 defines a 6 A plug and socket based on the BS 546 5 A. The South African Wiring Code now defines the plug and socket system defined in SANS 164-2 (IEC 60906-1) as the preferred standard, and it is expected that SANS 164-1

RS-422
RS-422, also known as TIA/EIA-422, is a technical standard originated by the Electronic Industries Alliance that specifies electrical characteristics of a digital signaling circuit. Differential signaling can transmit data at rates as high as 10 Mbit/s, or may be sent on cables as long as 1,500 meters. Some systems directly interconnect using RS-422 signals, or RS-422 converters may be used to extend the range of RS-232 connections. The standard only defines signal levels; other properties of a serial interface, such as electrical connectors and pin wiring, are part of the RS-449 and RS-530 standards. Standard scope.

The IEC codes R6 and R03, along with the equivalent ANSI codes AA and AAA, refer to AAA batteries.

Answer:
 The IEC code R6 refers to a size of electrical mounting box, specifically a rectangular box with a diameter of 60 mm and a depth of 45 mm, with fixing screws 60 mm apart.

The IEC code R03, and the equivalent ANSI codes AA and AAA, refer to sizes of dry cell batteries. An AA or rechargeable NiMH battery is a single cell, measures approximately 14.5 mm in diameter and 50.5 mm in length, and is commonly used in portable electronic devices. An AAA battery is a smaller version, with the same diameter but a shorter length of approximately 44.5 mm, and is also used in low-drain portable devices.

Question: how long should exercise to lose weight

Management of obesity
the American Heart Association recommends a minimum of 30 minutes of moderate exercise at least 5 days a week. The Cochrane Collaboration found that exercising alone led to limited weight loss. In combination with diet, however, it resulted in a 1 kilogram weight loss over dieting alone. A loss was observed with a greater degree of exercise. Even though exercise as carried out in the general population has only modest effects, a dose response curve is found, and very intense exercise can lead to substantial weight loss. During 20 weeks of basic military training with no dietary restriction, obese military recruits lost . High levels of physical activity seem to be necessary to maintain weight loss. A pedometer appears useful for motivation. Over an average of 18-weeks of

Weight management
least 60 minutes of physical activity per day - Most of their physical activity should be aerobic based with vigorous aerobic exercise 3 time per week - Participate in strength building physical activity 3 time per week. This section recommends the following for adults (18–64 years old): - Avoid physical inactivity whenever possible - At least 150 minutes (2 hour and 30 minutes) of moderate intensity exercise per week OR 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous intensity exercise per week - Exercise should be spread out throughout the week - Exercise a minimum of 10 minutes at a time - Progressively increase physical activity to 300 minutes (5 hours) or more of moderate intensity exercise per week OR 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes)

Normal weight obesity
that energy restriction and weight loss, for example a 4- to 12-week period of diet and exercise was beneficial. A small study of 11 Asians with MONW published June 2018 found that moderate weight loss through dieting reduced their cardiometabolic risk per improved body composition, lipid profile, and insulin sensitivity.

Physical fitness
prevention provide lifestyle guidelines of maintaining a balanced diet and engaging in physical activity to reduce the risk of disease. The WCRF/ American Institute for Cancer Research (AICR) published a list of recommendations that reflect the evidence they have found through consistency in fitness and dietary factors that directly relate to cancer prevention. The WCRF/AICR recommendations include the following: - Be as lean as possible without becoming underweight. - Each week, adults should engage in at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity physical activity. - Children should engage in at least one hour of moderate or vigorous physical activity each week. - Be physically active for at least thirty minutes every day. - Avoid sugar, and limit the consumption of

Exercise amenorrhoea
intensity of exercise for at least 12 months. Amenorrhea usually persists and may take over 6 months to reverse.

To lose weight, the American Heart Association recommends at least 150 minutes of moderate intensity exercise per week or 75 minutes of vigorous intensity exercise per week. Combining exercise with dieting can lead to greater weight loss, with more intense exercise resulting in more significant weight loss. For optimal results, progressively increase physical activity to 300 minutes or more of moderate intensity exercise per week.

Answer: According to the American Heart Association, adults should aim for at least 150 minutes (2 hours and 30 minutes) of moderate intensity exercise or 75 minutes (1 hour and 15 minutes) of vigorous intensity exercise per week to lose weight. However, progressively increasing physical activity to 300 minutes (5 hours) or more of moderate intensity exercise per week can lead to even greater weight loss. It's important to note that exercise alone has limited effects on weight loss, so combining it with a healthy diet is recommended. Additionally, maintaining a high level of physical activity is necessary to maintain weight loss.


Question: thymus is part of what system

Thymus
The thymus is a specialized primary lymphoid organ of the immune system. Within the thymus, T cells mature. T cells are critical to the adaptive immune system, where the body adapts specifically to foreign invaders. The thymus is composed of two identical lobes and is located anatomically in the anterior superior mediastinum, in front of the heart and behind the sternum. Histologically, each lobe of the thymus can be divided into a central medulla and a peripheral cortex which is surrounded by an outer capsule. The cortex and medulla play different roles in the development of T cells. Cells in the thymus can be divided into thymic stromal cells and cells of hematopoietic origin (derived from bone marrow resident hematopoietic stem cells). Developing T cells are referred to

Thymus
was identified as "status thymicolymphaticus" defined by an increase in lymphoid tissue and an enlarged thymus. It was thought to be a cause of sudden infant death syndrome but is now an obsolete term. Due to the large numbers of apoptotic lymphocytes, the thymus was originally dismissed as a "lymphocyte graveyard", without functional importance. The importance of the thymus in the immune system was discovered in 1961 by Jacques Miller, by surgically removing the thymus from one day old mice, and observing the subsequent deficiency in a lymphocyte population, subsequently named T cells after the organ of their origin. Recently, advances in immunology have allowed the function of the thymus in T-cell maturation to be more fully understood. Other animals. The thymus is present in all jawed vertebrates,

T-cell receptors, whereas other thymocytes make T-cell receptors that are autoreactive. 3. Immature thymocytes undergo a process of selection, based on the specificity of their T-cell receptors. This involves selection of T cells that are "functional (positive selection)", and elimination of T cells that are "autoreactive (negative selection)". The medulla of the thymus is the site of T Cell maturation. Cells that pass both levels of selection are released into the bloodstream to perform vital immune functions. The thymus also secretes hormones and cytokines that regulate the maturation of T cells, including thymulin, thymopoietin, and thymosins. Clinical significance. The immune system is a multicomponent interactive system. It effectively protects the host from various infections. An improperly functioning immune system can cause discomfort, disease or even death. The type

mouse), TRPV2 functions as a protein coding gene. There is broad expression of TRPV2 in the thymus, placenta, cerebellum, and spleen; it is most commonly expressed in the thymus. The thymus is a lymphoid organ involved in the function of the immune system, where T cells mature. T cells are an important component to the adaptive immune system, because it is where the body adapts to foreign substances; this demonstrates TRPV2’s importance in the immune system. TRPV2 in mus musculus is also activated by hypo-osmolarity and cell stretching, indicating that TRPV2 plays a role in mechanotransduction in mice as well. In experiments with knockout mice (TRPV2KO mice), it was found that TRPV2 is expressed in brown adipocytes and in brown adipose tissue (BAT). It can be concluded that

Though the thymus is fully developed before birth, newborns have an essentially empty peripheral immune compartment immediately after birth. Hence, T lymphocytes are not present in the peripheral lymphoid tissues, where naïve, mature lymphocytes are stimulated to respond to pathogens. In order to populate the peripheral system, the thymus increases in size and upregulates its function during the early neonatal period. Development of the Thymus.:Age-related Involution. Though some sources continue to cite puberty as the time of onset, studies have shown thymic involution to start much earlier. The crucial distinction came from the observation that the thymus consists of two
