In restaurants, Chinese chicken salad may be more embellished and offered as an American-style entree salad, similar to Caesar, Chef, and Cobb salads. Origins of the Chinese chicken salad are unknown, whereas it's believed to have originated from pan-Asian cuisine or fusion cuisine influences, rather than having actual roots in Chinese cuisine. Reasoning for that theory is that green lettuce salad is a dish of primarily Western origins. Many non-Western world cultures also have salads of various sorts as part of their traditional cuisines.

triangular, so only a finite number of terms in the sum are nonzero. Expressing a polynomial in the basis of falling factorials is useful for calculating sums of the polynomial evaluated at consecutive integers. Indeed, the sum of a falling factorial is simply expressed as another falling factorial (for ""k≠-1"") This is analogous to the integral formula_31, though the sum should be over integers ""i"" strictly less than ""n"". For example, the sum of fourth powers of integers up to ""n"" (this time with ""n"" included), is: Here the Stirling numbers can be computed from their definition as the number |

The first mass-produced solid-body guitar was Fender Esquire and Fender Broadcaster (later to become the Fender Telecaster), first made in 1948, five years after Les Paul made his prototype. The Gibson Les Paul appeared soon after to compete with the Broadcaster. Another notable solid-body design is the Fender Stratocaster, which was introduced in 1954 and became extremely popular among musicians in the 1960s and 1970s for its wide tonal capabilities and more comfortable ergonomics than other models.

Four of ""Archerfish""s six torpedoes had hit, striking the carrier between the anti-torpedo bulge and the waterline at approximately 03:20.

This eschatological and apocalyptic setting of a Last Judgement is in precise contrast to the ""Titanomachia"" of Hesiod which serves its distinct service to Greek mythology as its ""Prolegomenon"", bracketing all subsequent mythology, including the creation of humanity, as coming after the cosmological struggle between the Titans and the Olympian gods.

Ecliptic The ecliptic is the mean plane of the apparent path in the sky that the Sun follows over the course of one year; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system.

The ecliptic is not normally noticeable from Earth's surface because the planet's rotation carries the observer through the daily cycles of sunrise and sunset, which obscure the Sun's apparent motion against the background of stars during the year. The motions as described above are simplifications. Due to |
