What color did the reviewer buy? | I got one, and I am glad it was the green (it was the color I was rooting for) My husband became obsessed with black pepper after he met me (I used to coat everything in it) but he uses the crappy pepper that has zero flavor when we go out to eat. So I bought him this (and so I could secretly use it because stale pepper is a pet peeve of mine) Well it's cute, and it works, however it's very difficult to grind the peppercorns and really doesn't put much out. I pretty much have to grind for 5 minutes to get enough to speckle anything. Cute, but I think next time I will spring for the pricier one and hope it works better. |
What position in soccer is tasked with scoring goals? | During gameplay, players attempt to create goal-scoring opportunities through individual control of the ball, such as by dribbling, passing the ball to a teammate, and by taking shots at the goal, which is guarded by the opposing goalkeeper. Opposing players may try to regain control of the ball by intercepting a pass or through tackling the opponent in possession of the ball; however, physical contact between opponents is restricted. Football is generally a free-flowing game, with play stopping only when the ball has left the field of play or when play is stopped by the referee for an infringement of the rules. After a stoppage, play recommences with a specified restart.At a professional level, most matches produce only a few goals. For example, the 2005–06 season of the English Premier League produced an average of 2.48 goals per match. The Laws of the Game do not specify any player positions other than goalkeeper, but a number of specialised roles have evolved. Broadly, these include three main categories: strikers, or forwards, whose main task is to score goals; defenders, who specialise in preventing their opponents from scoring; and midfielders, who dispossess the opposition and keep possession of the ball to pass it to the forwards on their team. Players in these positions are referred to as outfield players, to distinguish them from the goalkeeper. These positions are further subdivided according to the area of the field in which the player spends most time. For example, there are central defenders, and left and right midfielders. The ten outfield players may be arranged in any combination. The number of players in each position determines the style of the team's play; more forwards and fewer defenders creates a more aggressive and offensive-minded game, while the reverse creates a slower, more defensive style of play. While players typically spend most of the game in a specific position, there are few restrictions on player movement, and players can switch positions at any time. The layout of a team's players is known as a formation. Defining the team's formation and tactics is usually the prerogative of the team's manager. |
Who sold the rights to the island in the 14th century? | Bethencourt took the title of King of the Canary Islands, as vassal to Henry III of Castile. In 1418, Jean's nephew Maciot de Bethencourt sold the rights to the islands to Enrique Pérez de Guzmán, 2nd Count de Niebla. |
does the product damage vegetables? | I have used this vegetable brush for just over a year, and it still looks brand new. The bristles have not bent or fallen out. It fits into the hand nicely, and is easy to use. The bristles are stiff enough to take care of business, but not so stiff that they rip up the skins on the vegetables. Because the bristles are not harsh, I also use the brush on my hands to clean off ground-in dirt or paint. Best of all, I can pop it into the dishwasher and restore it to germ-free cleanliness. I am very satisfied with this product. |
What did critics think about Bayramov paintings? | Upon completion of his formal education in 1965, Bayramov joined the USSR Union of Artists and began his career as a professional artist. The landscape genre was the first to captivate Durdy Bayramov. Many of his early landscape works (some dating to his student years) earned high praise from critics. His celebrated painting Peaceful Land (1969) is considered a classic example of Turkmen landscape painting.In 1966, Bayramov married his beloved muse, Dunyagozel “Gozel” Ilyasova, who would be one of his most frequently painted subjects and remain an inspiration for his work throughout his life. Bayramov devoted to her an entire series of works on paper titled Gozel, which includes 53 portraits of Gozel and four flower drawings dedicated to her. |
In the determination of complexity classes, what are two examples of types of Turing machines? | Many types of Turing machines are used to define complexity classes, such as deterministic Turing machines, probabilistic Turing machines, non-deterministic Turing machines, quantum Turing machines, symmetric Turing machines and alternating Turing machines. They are all equally powerful in principle, but when resources (such as time or space) are bounded, some of these may be more powerful than others. |
How well do both Thermoworks function? | I have both the fast, foldable Thermoworks and the fast, non-foldable. They are equal in speed and accuracy, although the more expensive turns itself off faster. That's about the only difference of any consequence. Great value. If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place). |
How many queues do DiffServ routers have? | Routers supporting DiffServ configure their network scheduler to use multiple queues for packets awaiting transmission from bandwidth constrained (e.g., wide area) interfaces. Router vendors provide different capabilities for configuring this behavior, to include the number of queues supported, the relative priorities of queues, and bandwidth reserved for each queue. |
Who did Rollo sign the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte with? | In the course of the 10th century, the initially destructive incursions of Norse war bands into the rivers of France evolved into more permanent encampments that included local women and personal property. The Duchy of Normandy, which began in 911 as a fiefdom, was established by the treaty of Saint-Clair-sur-Epte between King Charles III of West Francia and the famed Viking ruler Rollo, and was situated in the former Frankish kingdom of Neustria. The treaty offered Rollo and his men the French lands between the river Epte and the Atlantic coast in exchange for their protection against further Viking incursions. The area corresponded to the northern part of present-day Upper Normandy down to the river Seine, but the Duchy would eventually extend west beyond the Seine. The territory was roughly equivalent to the old province of Rouen, and reproduced the Roman administrative structure of Gallia Lugdunensis II (part of the former Gallia Lugdunensis). |
How many irritations are there? | i wanted an electric kettle, but landed up ordering this as i thought this was multi-functional and could be used to boil eggs etc as well. While it is muli-functional; 2 biggest irritatiosn are:- it has to be plugged out - i cannot just press a button for it to stop heating. I literally has to be plugged out. That reduces the functionality and safety of this product. bit of an irritation in a busy kitchen.- it leaks... within one week of using it, I noticed it leaks water while boiling and also leaks if there is any water left in it... Cleaning mess adds to the list instead of reducing it... |
What is the name of the place? | Bethlehem is home to the Palestinian Heritage Center, established in 1991. The center aims to preserve and promote Palestinian embroidery, art and folklore. The International Center of Bethlehem is another cultural center that concentrates primarily on the culture of Bethlehem. It provides language and guide training, woman's studies and arts and crafts displays, and training.The Bethlehem branch of the Edward Said National Conservatory of Music has about 500 students. Its primary goals are to teach children music, train teachers for other schools, sponsor music research, and the study of Palestinian folklore music.Bethlehem has four museums: The Crib of the Nativity Theatre and Museum offers visitors 31 three-dimensional models depicting the significant stages of the life of Jesus. Its theater presents a 20-minute animated show. The Badd Giacaman Museum, located in the Old City of Bethlehem, dates back to the 18th century and is primarily dedicated to the history and process of olive oil production. Baituna al-Talhami Museum, established in 1972, contains displays of Bethlehem culture. The International Museum of Nativity was built by United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) to exhibit "high artistic quality in an evocative atmosphere". |
Who made fun of the Latin language? | Eventually, the Normans merged with the natives, combining languages and traditions. In the course of the Hundred Years' War, the Norman aristocracy often identified themselves as English. The Anglo-Norman language became distinct from the Latin language, something that was the subject of some humour by Geoffrey Chaucer. The Anglo-Norman language was eventually absorbed into the Anglo-Saxon language of their subjects (see Old English) and influenced it, helping (along with the Norse language of the earlier Anglo-Norse settlers and the Latin used by the church) in the development of Middle English. It in turn evolved into Modern English. |
Which part of the egg cooks first? | If you like your poached eggs very undercooked, this might be okay for you. However I like my poached eggs on the medium to medium-well side (with the white totally cooked, and the yolk just starting to firm up at the edges). This cooker cannot do that. You put the eggs in the poaching tray, and the top part of the egg (that is exposed to steam) cooks LONG before the bottom part (in the bottom of the tray). Impossible to get them evenly cooked. However, this turns out GREAT boiled eggs, much faster than I can make them in a pot. I was really looking forward to an easier method of poaching eggs, but looks like I'm back to my pot of water. :\ |
How many acres of land did the college get in the offer? | In 1865, the Indiana General Assembly voted to take advantage of the Morrill Land-Grant Colleges Act of 1862, and began plans to establish an institution with a focus on agriculture and engineering. Communities throughout the state offered their facilities and money to bid for the location of the new college. Popular proposals included the addition of an agriculture department at Indiana State University or at what is now Butler University. By 1869, Tippecanoe County’s offer included $150,000 (equivalent to $2.8 million in 2018) from Lafayette business leader and philanthropist John Purdue, $50,000 from the county, and 100 acres (0.4 km2) of land from local residents. On May 6, 1869, the General Assembly established the institution in Tippecanoe County as Purdue University, in the name of the principal benefactor. Classes began at Purdue on September 16, 1874, with six instructors and 39 students. Professor John S. Hougham was Purdue’s first faculty member and served as acting president between the administrations of presidents Shortridge and White. A campus of five buildings was completed by the end of 1874. Purdue issued its first degree, a Bachelor of Science in chemistry, in 1875 and admitted its first female students that fall.Emerson E. White, the university’s president from 1876 to 1883, followed a strict interpretation of the Morrill Act. Rather than emulate the classical universities, White believed Purdue should be an "industrial college" and devote its resources toward providing a liberal (or broad) education with an emphasis on science, technology, and agriculture. He intended not only to prepare students for industrial work, but also to prepare them to be good citizens and family members. Part of White's plan to distinguish Purdue from classical universities included a controversial attempt to ban fraternities. This ban was ultimately overturned by the Indiana Supreme Court and led to White's resignation. The next president, James H. Smart, is remembered for his call in 1894 to rebuild the original Heavilon Hall "one brick higher" after it had been destroyed by a fire.By the end of the nineteenth century, the university was organized into schools of agriculture, engineering (mechanical, civil, and electrical), and pharmacy, and former U.S. President Benjamin Harrison was serving on the board of trustees. Purdue's engineering laboratories included testing facilities for a locomotive and a Corliss steam engine, one of the most efficient engines of the time. The School of Agriculture was sharing its research with farmers throughout the state with its cooperative extension services and would undergo a period of growth over the following two decades. Programs in education and home economics were soon established, as well as a short-lived school of medicine. By 1925 Purdue had the largest undergraduate engineering enrollment in the country, a status it would keep for half a century. |
How large was the audience BSkyB said they could reach? | BSkyB's direct-to-home satellite service became available in 10 million homes in 2010, Europe's first pay-TV platform in to achieve that milestone. Confirming it had reached its target, the broadcaster said its reach into 36% of households in the UK represented an audience of more than 25m people. The target was first announced in August 2004, since then an additional 2.4m customers had subscribed to BSkyB's direct-to-home service. Media commentators had debated whether the figure could be reached as the growth in subscriber numbers elsewhere in Europe flattened. |
What is it designed for? | I have this thermometer in black and it's been great.Important tip to note: Stick the metal tip into item, let it sit for a couple of seconds and then turn on the thermometer. Do this and you'll get the instant read feature. If you turn it on first, the thermometer will show the temperature of the air, then you stick it into the item and the display will slowly move to the temperature of the item. This takes a bit of time. So be sure you stick it into your item FIRST, let the metal acclimate to the temperature of the item, and then turn it on. Then you'll get the instant read each time.I've washed this, I've dropped it, and it's still going strong. It's not a replacement for an oven thermometer or a probe thermometer, but it's great at what it's designed for - a quick and easy instant read thermometer. |
What does Fars province mean? | Shiraz ( (listen); Persian: شیراز, Šīrāz, [ʃiːˈrɒːz] (listen)) is the fifth-most-populous city of Iran and the capital of Fars Province (Old Persian as Pars). At the 2016 census, the population of the city was 1,869,001 and its built-up area with "Shahr-e Jadid-e Sadra" (Sadra New Town) was home to 1,565,572 inhabitants. Shiraz is located in the southwest of Iran on the "Rudkhaneye Khoshk" (The Dry River) seasonal river. It has a moderate climate and has been a regional trade center for over a thousand years. Shiraz is one of the oldest cities of ancient Persia. |
What is rare on the Southeast of the state? | Southern California contains a Mediterranean climate, with infrequent rain and many sunny days. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are a bit warm or mild and wet. Serious rain can occur unusually. In the summers, temperature ranges are 90-60's while as winters are 70-50's, usually all of Southern California have Mediterranean climate. But snow is very rare in the Southwest of the state, it occurs on the Southeast of the state. |
How many minutes on the the dot to get firm whites? | My husband and I have poached eggs every weekend. We thought this would be a great way to streamline the process and avoid the messy cleanup, but it hasn't been that easy. It's very difficult to judge when the eggs will be hard as golf balls or with liquid whites. Usually four minutes on the dot and I get firm whites and runny yolk. In this egg poacher it's more like five minutes and fifteen seconds. At least some days. Clean up is a breeze and the water comes to a boil in record time. I'm still hopeful that I'll get the timing down soon.If they had included a recipe guide or any kind of instructions for cooking this would be five stars. |
Who is in favor of sex education that promotes not having any? | Palin supports sex education in public schools that encourages sexual abstinence along with teaching about contraception. (See Comprehensive sex education.) |
What was the percentage of people that voted in favor of the Pico Act of 1859? | Subsequently, Californios (dissatisfied with inequitable taxes and land laws) and pro-slavery southerners in the lightly populated "Cow Counties" of southern California attempted three times in the 1850s to achieve a separate statehood or territorial status separate from Northern California. The last attempt, the Pico Act of 1859, was passed by the California State Legislature and signed by the State governor John B. Weller. It was approved overwhelmingly by nearly 75% of voters in the proposed Territory of Colorado. This territory was to include all the counties up to the then much larger Tulare County (that included what is now Kings, most of Kern, and part of Inyo counties) and San Luis Obispo County. The proposal was sent to Washington, D.C. with a strong advocate in Senator Milton Latham. However, the secession crisis following the election of Abraham Lincoln in 1860 led to the proposal never coming to a vote. |
How many children does the author have? | I love this item. It is perfect and beautiful. The best part is, its plastic. First let me quantify my delight, I am a mom of 3 boys under 5 years old who love to help themselves. With this cake plate I don't have to worry about it being too heavy or shattering under little hands.Its perfect for displaying your baked creations on the dining room table or you want to take your treats pool side. This is ideal for parties - desserts, crudites, cheese platters, trifle and so much more. I must admit though I don't think I would use it for punch. I tested it with water and it seems fine but with my rambunctious crew its not the smartest move.Perfect for mom with little ones who love to bake. |
What number Resolution was called on to find a way around a veto? | After a United Nations Security Council resolution was vetoed by the U.S. three days earlier, Palestinian UN Ambassador Riyad Mansour said that the General Assembly would vote on a draft resolution calling for Trump’s declaration to be withdrawn. He sought to invoke Resolution 377, known as the "Uniting for Peace" resolution, to circumvent a veto. The resolution states that the General Assembly can call an Emergency Special Session to consider a matter "with a view to making appropriate recommendations to members for collective measures" if the Security Council fails to act. |
Which region of California is Palm Springs located in? | Many locals and tourists frequent the southern California coast for its popular beaches, and the desert city of Palm Springs is popular for its resort feel and nearby open spaces. |
What kind of edge does the cutter have? | I have a drawer full of OXO kitchen tools so I definitely am impressed by OXO's product line. Good quality, comfort, effectiveness, and smart design are the hallmarks of OXO and this tool is no exception.Ideally this is the size of a perfect wedge of pie. It has a comfortable handle and is made of a sturdy grade of stainless steel. It is flexible enough to make a non-messy first cut and it can slide under to pick up the last piece of pie. It has a serrated edge that produces a nice cut and it washes up nicely by hand or dishwasher without staining.It also has a hole in the handle which is perfect for hanging on a rack.Overall, a great pie cutter which can handle a hefty wedge of pie. |
What is the name of the interconnecting router that maintain connections? | Open Shortest Path First (OSPF) was designed as an interior gateway protocol (IGP), for use in an autonomous system such as a local area network (LAN). It implements Dijkstra's algorithm, also known as the shortest path first (SPF) algorithm. As a link-state routing protocol it was based on the link-state algorithm developed for the ARPANET in 1980 and the IS-IS routing protocol. OSPF was first standardised in 1989 as RFC 1131, which is now known as OSPF version 1. The development work for OSPF prior to its codification as open standard was undertaken largely by the Digital Equipment Corporation, which developed its own proprietary DECnet protocols.Routing protocols like OSPF calculate the shortest route to a destination through the network based on an algorithm. The first routing protocol that was widely implemented, the Routing Information Protocol (RIP), calculated the shortest route based on hops, that is the number of routers that an IP packet had to traverse to reach the destination host. RIP successfully implemented dynamic routing, where routing tables change if the network topology changes. But RIP did not adapt its routing according to changing network conditions, such as data-transfer rate. Demand grew for a dynamic routing protocol that could calculate the fastest route to a destination. OSPF was developed so that the shortest path through a network was calculated based on the cost of the route, taking into account bandwidth, delay and load. Therefore OSPF undertakes route cost calculation on the basis of link-cost parameters, which can be weighted by the administrator. OSPF was quickly adopted because it became known for reliably calculating routes through large and complex local area networks.As a link state routing protocol, OSPF maintains link state databases, which are really network topology maps, on every router on which it is implemented. The state of a given route in the network is the cost, and OSPF algorithm allows every router to calculate the cost of the routes to any given reachable destination. Unless the administrator has made a configuration, the link cost of a path connected to a router is determined by the bit rate (1 Gbit/s, 10 Gbit/s, etc) of the interface. A router interface with OSPF will then advertise its link cost to neighbouring routers through multicast, known as the hello procedure. All routers with OSPF implementation keep sending hello packets, and thus changes in the cost of their links become known to neighbouring routers. The information about the cost of a link, that is the speed of a point to point connection between two routers, is then cascaded through the network because OSPF routers advertise the information they receive from one neighbouring router to all other neighbouring routers. This process of flooding link state information through the network is known as synchronisation. Based on this information, all routers with OSPF implementation continuously update their link state databases with information about the network topology and adjust their routing tables.An OSPF network can be structured, or subdivided, into routing areas to simplify administration and optimize traffic and resource utilization. Areas are identified by 32-bit numbers, expressed either simply in decimal, or often in the same dot-decimal notation used for IPv4 addresses. By convention, area 0 (zero), or 0.0.0.0, represents the core or backbone area of an OSPF network. While the identifications of other areas may be chosen at will; administrators often select the IP address of a main router in an area as the area identifier. Each additional area must have a connection to the OSPF backbone area. Such connections are maintained by an interconnecting router, known as an area border router (ABR). An ABR maintains separate link-state databases for each area it serves and maintains summarized routes for all areas in the network. |
Reduction essentially takes one problem and converts into what? | Many complexity classes are defined using the concept of a reduction. A reduction is a transformation of one problem into another problem. It captures the informal notion of a problem being at least as difficult as another problem. For instance, if a problem X can be solved using an algorithm for Y, X is no more difficult than Y, and we say that X reduces to Y. There are many different types of reductions, based on the method of reduction, such as Cook reductions, Karp reductions and Levin reductions, and the bound on the complexity of reductions, such as polynomial-time reductions or log-space reductions. |
What must you do every time you want to brew since there is no default setting? | I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down. |
Who was to blame for the failed campaign? | The campaign was a failure because of the canny tactics of Laurie Pritchett, the local police chief, and divisions within the black community. The goals may not have been specific enough. Pritchett contained the marchers without violent attacks on demonstrators that inflamed national opinion. He also arranged for arrested demonstrators to be taken to jails in surrounding communities, allowing plenty of room to remain in his jail. Pritchett also foresaw King's presence as a danger and forced his release to avoid King's rallying the black community. King left in 1962 without having achieved any dramatic victories. The local movement, however, continued the struggle, and it obtained significant gains in the next few years. |
When did the English High Court of Justice find that Microsoft’s use of the term "SkyDrive" did not infringe on Sky’s right to the "Sky" trademark? | In July 2013, the English High Court of Justice found that Microsoft’s use of the term "SkyDrive" infringed on Sky’s right to the "Sky" trademark. On 31 July 2013, BSkyB and Microsoft announced their settlement, in which Microsoft will not appeal the ruling, and will rename its SkyDrive cloud storage service after an unspecified "reasonable period of time to allow for an orderly transition to a new brand," plus "financial and other terms, the details of which are confidential". On 27 January 2014, Microsoft announced "that SkyDrive will soon become OneDrive" and "SkyDrive Pro" becomes "OneDrive for Business". |
What is the item made up of? | I really believe if you are looking for a cocktail shaker, then this will be the perfect fit for your mixology need. It even comes with a jigger! I am very sure that the 24 oz Stainless Steel Cocktail Shaker from Natural Revolution Ltd will not disappoint you. This product gets two thumbs up from me!Disclosure: I received a sample product to review in exchange for my honest opinion. To read the rest of my review, please visit the blog! Below is just a small portion of my thoughts: |
what tavern did they meet at in october of 1863? | According to FIFA, the Chinese competitive game cuju (蹴鞠, literally "kick ball") is the earliest form of football for which there is evidence. Cuju players could use any part of the body apart from hands and the intent was kicking a ball through an opening into a net. It was remarkably similar to modern football, though similarities to rugby occurred. During the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD), cuju games were standardised and rules were established.Phaininda and episkyros were Greek ball games. An image of an episkyros player depicted in low relief on a vase at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens appears on the UEFA European Championship Cup. Athenaeus, writing in 228 AD, referenced the Roman ball game harpastum. Phaininda, episkyros and harpastum were played involving hands and violence. They all appear to have resembled rugby football, wrestling and volleyball more than what is recognizable as modern football. As with pre-codified "mob football", the antecedent of all modern football codes, these three games involved more handling the ball than kicking. Other games included kemari in Japan and chuk-guk in Korea.Association football in itself does not have a classical history. Notwithstanding any similarities to other ball games played around the world FIFA has recognised that no historical connection exists with any game played in antiquity outside Europe. The modern rules of association football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played in the public schools of England. The history of football in England dates back to at least the eighth century AD.The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, were particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football. The Cambridge Rules were written at Trinity College, Cambridge, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury schools. They were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world, to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public school pupils in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules.These ongoing efforts contributed to the formation of The Football Association (The FA) in 1863, which first met on the morning of 26 October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in Great Queen Street, London. The only school to be represented on this occasion was Charterhouse. The Freemason's Tavern was the setting for five more meetings between October and December, which eventually produced the first comprehensive set of rules. At the final meeting, the first FA treasurer, the representative from Blackheath, withdrew his club from the FA over the removal of two draft rules at the previous meeting: the first allowed for running with the ball in hand; the second for obstructing such a run by hacking (kicking an opponent in the shins), tripping and holding. Other English rugby clubs followed this lead and did not join the FA and instead in 1871 formed the Rugby Football Union. The eleven remaining clubs, under the charge of Ebenezer Cobb Morley, went on to ratify the original thirteen laws of the game. These rules included handling of the ball by "marks" and the lack of a crossbar, rules which made it remarkably similar to Victorian rules football being developed at that time in Australia. The Sheffield FA played by its own rules until the 1870s with the FA absorbing some of its rules until there was little difference between the games.The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C.W. Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official international football match also took place in 1872, between Scotland and England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C.W. Alcock. England is also home to the world's first football league, which was founded in Birmingham in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. The original format contained 12 clubs from the Midlands and Northern England. |
What Islands are of the coast of Asia? | Between 1402 and 1405, the expedition led by the Norman noble Jean de Bethencourt and the Poitevine Gadifer de la Salle conquered the Canarian islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and El Hierro off the Atlantic coast of Africa. Their troops were gathered in Normandy, Gascony and were later reinforced by Castilian colonists. |
what is the product "excellent" for? | I got my Mint about a month ago and am glad to have it. I use it to damp mop bare floors after the roomba has vacuumed. It works with ordinary terry wash cloths (which I use for all my cleaning) and picks up a lot of dirt.As another reviewer mentioned, it will not get into the cracks and cervices of a tile floor so you still have to get the grout clean yourself. It is excellent on wide-board bamboo floors - I use just a damp cloth as all solvents will build up over time.I found it a bit hard to get started as the North Star connection can be fussy in odd-shaped spaces (as in between my area rugs)- it seems to work if I break the room down into imaginary rectangles where the bare areas are. It also had trouble in the kitchen -- it won't connect if siting on my stone counters but was OK on the edge of the stove.It does a good job avoiding things and not running up on carpets, etc. It is very quiet. As another reviewer mentioned, it only does about 2 hours and then needs to charge over night.I like it as, for all its current drawbacks, it does more mopping than I would do. However, if you are not in a hurry, I'd wait for the next edition. I'm sure it will get better and better. |
How is respiratory failure caused by pneumonia? | Pneumonia can cause respiratory failure by triggering acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), which results from a combination of infection and inflammatory response. The lungs quickly fill with fluid and become stiff. This stiffness, combined with severe difficulties extracting oxygen due to the alveolar fluid, may require long periods of mechanical ventilation for survival. Other causes of circulatory failure are hypoxemia, inflammation, and increased coagulability.Sepsis is a potential complication of pneumonia but occurs usually in people with poor immunity or hyposplenism. The organisms most commonly involved are Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Other causes of the symptoms should be considered such as a myocardial infarction or a pulmonary embolism. |
What is the name of the Los Angeles rail system? | Six of the seven lines of the commuter rail system, Metrolink, run out of Downtown Los Angeles, connecting Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties with the other line connecting San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties directly. |
What kind of lid does it have? | I guess I don't have to add much here considering all the excellent reviews on this bottle. Everyone has managed to say what I would have said. So I'll just reiterate on what is most important and that's quality. This is a very sturdy, solid feeling bottle which does everything as described in the ad. It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. I'm impressed and very, very pleased! Excellent product. |
What apps were included in the updated version of February 5, 2008? | At the Macworld Conference & Expo in January 2007, Steve Jobs introduced the long-anticipated iPhone, a convergence of an Internet-enabled smartphone and iPod. The first-generation iPhone was released on June 29, 2007, for $499 (4 GB) and $599 (8 GB) with an AT&T contract. On February 5, 2008, it was updated to have 16 GB of memory, in addition to the 8 GB and 4 GB models. It combined a 2.5G quad band GSM and EDGE cellular phone with features found in handheld devices, running a scaled-down version of OS X (dubbed iPhone OS after the launch and later renamed to iOS), with various Mac OS X applications such as Safari and Mail. It also includes web-based and Dashboard apps such as Google Maps and Weather. The iPhone features a 3.5-inch (89 mm) touchscreen display, Bluetooth, and Wi-Fi (both "b" and "g").A second version, the iPhone 3G, was released on July 11, 2008, with a reduced price of $199 for the 8 GB model and $299 for the 16 GB model. This version added support for 3G networking and assisted GPS navigation. The flat silver back and large antenna square of the original model were eliminated in favor of a glossy, curved black or white back. Software capabilities were improved with the release of the App Store, which provided iPhone-compatible applications to download. On April 24, 2009, the App Store surpassed one billion downloads. On June 8, 2009, Apple announced the iPhone 3GS. It provided an incremental update to the device, including faster internal components, support for faster 3G speeds, video recording capability, and voice control. |
What is often seen as a scientific abstraction modeling those computational tasks that admit an efficient algorithm? | The complexity class P is often seen as a mathematical abstraction modeling those computational tasks that admit an efficient algorithm. This hypothesis is called the Cobham–Edmonds thesis. The complexity class NP, on the other hand, contains many problems that people would like to solve efficiently, but for which no efficient algorithm is known, such as the Boolean satisfiability problem, the Hamiltonian path problem and the vertex cover problem. Since deterministic Turing machines are special non-deterministic Turing machines, it is easily observed that each problem in P is also member of the class NP. |
What is a way that the travel mug keeps the beverage inside hot? | I had high hopes for this travel mug. It's well-insulated, stainless steel, and the lid appeared to seal very well. In fact, both Amazon and Thermos advertise the cup as being "spill-proof." It's also my favorite kind of lid, the kind that flips open. I like those because they're the easiest to clean well.Unfortunately, for some reason, Thermos decided not to make the flip part of the lid seal. It's just two pieces of plastic that fit loosely together - no rubber seal at all. So while the lid twists on and seals tightly, the part that you actually drink out of leaks like crazy. I suppose this cup is perfect for anyone who can guarantee that it will never tip over. But for those of you who do things like put it in your briefcase, toss it on the car seat next to you, or even just tilt it a bit while walking around, it's an awful travel mug. |
What Marvin Gaye song did the album release a cover for? | Mayer and LaBruyere performed throughout Georgia and nearby states. Also, as his career coincided with the then-nascent internet music market, Mayer benefited from an online following. Mayer came to the attention of Gregg Latterman at Aware Records through an acquaintance of Mayer's, a lawyer, who sent Aware his EP. After including him in Aware Festival concerts and his songs on Aware compilations, in early 2001, Aware released Mayer's internet-only album titled, Room for Squares. During this time, Aware concluded a deal with Columbia Records that gave Columbia first pick in signing Aware artists. In September, Columbia remixed and re-released Room for Squares. As part of the major label "debut", the album's artwork was updated, and the track "3x5" was added. The re-release included reworked studio versions of the first four songs from Inside Wants Out.By the end of 2002, Room for Squares had spawned several radio hits, including "No Such Thing", "Your Body Is a Wonderland", and ultimately, "Why Georgia". It also received general praise critically, and Mayer drew comparisons to Dave Matthews. In 2003, Mayer won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Your Body Is a Wonderland". In his acceptance speech he remarked, "This is very, very fast, and I promise to catch up". He also figuratively referred to himself as being sixteen, a remark that many mistook to mean that he was sixteen years old at the time.In February 2003, Mayer released a live CD and DVD of a concert in Birmingham, Alabama titled Any Given Thursday, which included songs previously not recorded, such as "Man on the Side", "Something's Missing", and Covered in Rain". Commercially, the album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart. Its accompanying DVD release received conservative—although consistent—praise, with critics torn between his pop-idol image, and (at the time) emerging guitar prowess. Erik Crawford of AllMusic asked, "Is [Mayer] the consummate guitar hero exemplified when he plays a cover of Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Lenny', or is he the teen idol that the pubescent girls shriek for after he plays 'Your Body Is a Wonderland?'" That summer, Mayer went on the road with Counting Crows in a tour that spanned 42 dates between July 7 and September 2.Heavier Things, Mayer's second album, was released in 2003 to generally favorable reviews. Rolling Stone, Allmusic and Blender all gave positive, although reserved, feedback. The album was commercially successful, and while it did not sell as well as Room for Squares, it peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. The song "Daughters" won the 2005 Grammy for Song of the Year, and reached #1 on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart and #19 on the Billboard Hot 100. He dedicated the award to his grandmother, Annie Hoffman, who had died in May 2004. He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. On February 9, 2009, Mayer told Ellen DeGeneres that he thought he should not have won the Grammy for Song of the year because he thought that Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You" was the better song. Because of this, he removed the top half of the Grammy and gave it to Keys, and kept the bottom part for himself. At the 37th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in 2006, Mayer received the Hal David Starlight Award.Mayer again recorded live concerts across seven nights of his U.S. tour in 2004. These recordings were released to the iTunes Store under the title As/Is, indicating that the errors were included along with the good moments. A few months later, a "best of" CD was compiled from the As/Is nights. The album included a previously unreleased cover of Marvin Gaye's song "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)", featuring a solo from Mayer's supporting act—jazz and blues turntablist DJ Logic. The album covers of the As/Is releases feature drawings of anthropomorphic bunnies. |
What other kind of sport is popular in southern California? | College sports are also popular in southern California. The UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans both field teams in NCAA Division I in the Pac-12 Conference, and there is a longtime rivalry between the schools. |
How long does this last | I don't see why this product is getting so many bad reviews.I've owned one for over five years that finally wore out after three or more times use per week.I decided to buy the Cuisinart because it had better reviews, last time I'll listen to the reviews here.The Oster is hands down a better unit and is cheaper to boot.The Oster has more power and chops much closer to the bottom of the bowl.I returned the Cuisinart in trade for a new Oster. It appears to be exactly the same as the one that served me so well for several years. |
How many different holds does Jericho know? | During the March 30, 1998 episode of Nitro, after defeating Marty Jannetty, Jericho pulled out a long pile of paper that listed each of the 1,004 holds he knew and recited them to the audience. Many of the holds were fictional, and nearly every other hold was an armbar. On the March 12, 1998 episode of Thunder, Malenko defeated a wrestler wearing Juventud Guerrera's mask who appeared to be Jericho. However, the masked wrestler was actually Lenny Lane, who Jericho bribed to appear in the match. This started a minor feud between Lane and Jericho after Jericho refused to pay Lane. At Uncensored, Jericho finally wrestled Malenko and defeated him, after which Malenko took a leave of absence from wrestling. Jericho then proceeded to bring with him to the ring a portrait of Malenko that he insulted and demeaned. Just prior to Slamboree, J.J. Dillon (referred to by Jericho as "Jo Jo") scheduled a cruiserweight Battle Royal, the winner of which would immediately have a shot at Jericho's Cruiserweight Championship. Jericho accepted on the grounds that whoever he faced would be too tired to win a second match. At Slamboree, Jericho came out to introduce the competitors in an insulting fashion before the match started and then went backstage for coffee. An individual who appeared to be Ciclope won the battle royal after Juventud Guerrera shook his hand and then eliminated himself. The winner was a returning Malenko in disguise. Following one of the loudest crowd reactions in WCW history, Malenko proceeded to defeat Jericho for the championship. Jericho claiming he was the victim of a carefully planned conspiracy to get the belt off of him. He at first blamed the WCW locker room, then added Dillon, Ted Turner, and finally in a vignette, he walked around Washington, D.C. with the sign "conspiracy victim" and accused President Bill Clinton of being one of the conspirators after being rejected from a meeting. Eventually, Malenko vacated the title. Jericho ended up defeating Malenko at The Great American Bash to win the vacant title after Malenko was disqualified after hitting Jericho with a chair. The next night, Malenko was suspended for his actions. |
Who ruled Cyprus in the 11th century? | In April 1191 Richard the Lion-hearted left Messina with a large fleet in order to reach Acre. But a storm dispersed the fleet. After some searching, it was discovered that the boat carrying his sister and his fiancée Berengaria was anchored on the south coast of Cyprus, together with the wrecks of several other ships, including the treasure ship. Survivors of the wrecks had been taken prisoner by the island's despot Isaac Komnenos. On 1 May 1191, Richard's fleet arrived in the port of Limassol on Cyprus. He ordered Isaac to release the prisoners and the treasure. Isaac refused, so Richard landed his troops and took Limassol. |
What is the most important feature? | It is small (a plus in my small kitchen), looks good, and works well.Heating technology hasn't changed much over the years. The way to grab a section of the market is to come up with a different package. Function is most important, with aesthetics a close second. The oven is large enough to easily toast four slices of bread. Any smaller and it would be inadequate for most. The thing that sets this product apart is the design of the door. It rotates to open and close. It feels sturdy and well balanced. Because it rotates, the oven takes up less space than ovens with doors that swing open. I have a larger desktop oven that has been completely replaced by this one. One of my favorite benefits of the rotating door is the I don't have to clear space in front of the oven so that objects do not obstruct the door. Finally the door can be removed and replaced very easily, which allows for quick and easy cleaning of the door itself, and the inside of the oven.The door makes the difference, and the size of this particular model is perfect for a single person or a small family. |
What countires are a part of the Baltic Sea NGO? | World NGO Day, February 27, was established by the philanthropist Mārcis Liors Skadmanis. World NGO Day was officially recognized by the Baltic Sea NGO Forum of the Council of the Baltic Sea States on the 17th April 2010. The member countries of the Baltic Sea NGO Forum were Belarus, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Germany, Iceland, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Russia, Norway and Sweden. World NGO Day was officially adopted into the X Baltic Sea NGO Forum’s Final Statement Resolution on the 23rd-25th April 2012, part of the German CBSS Presidency of the Council of the Baltic Sea States. The Forum was taking place at Humboldt University in Berlin, Germany.On 27 February 2014, the Minister for International Development Pekka Haavisto, Executive Director of United Nations Office for Project Services (UNOPS) Jan Mattsson, European Commissioner for Development Andris Piebalgs, Secretary General of the Secretariat to the Nordic Council, Britt Bohlin, UNESCO Assistant Director-General Eric Falt and United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Administrator Helen Clark, former Minister of Women’s Affairs of Iran Mahnaz Afkhami and NGO leaders, marked the first commemoration of the World NGO Day in Helsinki, Finland. |
What channel never used looping video streams? | BSkyB's standard definition broadcasts are in DVB-compliant MPEG-2, with the Sky Movies and Sky Box Office channels including optional Dolby Digital soundtracks for recent films, although these are only accessible with a Sky+ box. Sky+ HD material is broadcast using MPEG-4 and most of the HD material uses the DVB-S2 standard. Interactive services and 7-day EPG use the proprietary OpenTV system, with set-top boxes including modems for a return path. Sky News, amongst other channels, provides a pseudo-video on demand interactive service by broadcasting looping video streams. |
What sort of cleaning tool is this? | I enjoy using this vacuum. I like that it comes with a separate canister vac instead of having on-board tools, as most current vacuums have. I have the freedoms to use the mini canister vac for quick kitchen, or to extend to my volume ceiling, without having to drag around the bulk of the big vac. Having the separate mini vac also makes the upright lighter than other uprights. The upright is very powerful. The only glitch I have is that the on/off button is at the top of the handle, close enough that I have on occasion managed to turn it off while manipulating around and under furniture. |
What year was the manuscript written? | Also in 1797, the unpublished and unsigned manuscript of "The Oldest Systematic Program of German Idealism" was written. It was written in Hegel's hand, but thought to have been authored by either Hegel, Schelling, Hölderlin, or an unknown fourth person. |
What were the conditions for miners in the gold fields in Victoria? | Immigrants arrived from all over the world to search for gold, especially from Ireland and China. Many Chinese miners worked in Victoria, and their legacy is particularly strong in Bendigo and its environs. Although there was some racism directed at them, there was not the level of anti-Chinese violence that was seen at the Lambing Flat riots in New South Wales. However, there was a riot at Buckland Valley near Bright in 1857. Conditions on the gold fields were cramped and unsanitary; an outbreak of typhoid at Buckland Valley in 1854 killed over 1,000 miners. |
What is the name of the book you can read in order to find dishes to make in the pressure cooker? | Okay this is a bit pricey. It is worth it in my opinion. America's Test Kitchen highly recommends this pressure cooker. I have been working my way thru their Pressure Cooker Perfection Cookbook. This pressure cooker works excellently. Virtually every recipe I have attempted has turned out very well and quickly. If you need to simmer your dish after bringing the cooker down for pressure, the glass lid comes in handy. Some of the dishes I have cooked in this cooker, have left mild staining in the interior. I just use BarKeepers Friend and it restores the finish. I often use my parents Presto cooker when i am at their home and I have good results with that cooker as well. ATK recommends that you get to know your cooker and I am beginning to know this Fissler. I have absolutely no safety concerns when using this pressure cooker. Just make sure you follow the instructions. What a time saver!!!! |
When was Viswesvarayya born? | Mokshagundam Viswesvarayya was born on 15 September 1861 in Muddenahalli village (now located in Chikkaballapura District, but part of Kolar district at the time of his birth) in the princely state of Mysore (now Karnataka), India. His father, Mokshagundam Srinivasa Sastry, was a school teacher and a noted Sanskrit scholar, while his mother, Venkatalakshamma, was a homemaker. His parents were from Mokshagundam, a village of Prakasam district in Andhra Pradesh. |
What would indicate that there is a known polynomial-time solution for Ii1? | If a problem X is in C and hard for C, then X is said to be complete for C. This means that X is the hardest problem in C. (Since many problems could be equally hard, one might say that X is one of the hardest problems in C.) Thus the class of NP-complete problems contains the most difficult problems in NP, in the sense that they are the ones most likely not to be in P. Because the problem P = NP is not solved, being able to reduce a known NP-complete problem, Π2, to another problem, Π1, would indicate that there is no known polynomial-time solution for Π1. This is because a polynomial-time solution to Π1 would yield a polynomial-time solution to Π2. Similarly, because all NP problems can be reduced to the set, finding an NP-complete problem that can be solved in polynomial time would mean that P = NP. |
What are the little wheels on the hand vac useful for? | This is a pretty good hand vac. It has a number of features that make it quite useful, and the missus and I are finding a lot of places around the house where this comes in handy. Some of the better features are the lithium ion battery, which keeps the vacuum ready to go just about all the time. I like the little wheels for moving it over larger areas and jobs, even though I don't really consider it to be that advantageous or useful. (Let's face it: for big jobs, it's easier to just get the big guns, like myDyson DC65 Animal Complete Upright Vacuum Cleaner.) The extendable crevice tool is handy, though the feature doesn't do much for its overall utility. (I would prefer a detachable one.)Still, with two cats and a big house, this is easy to use for things like small jobs on the stairs, both to the upstairs and from the garage, where it even handled leaves and lawn debris. It works great in cleaning around the litter boxes and under the appliances in the kitchen, and I even used it to get dust and paper fragments off the music stands on my pianos. It's easy to empty the canister, the charger doesn't have a huge footprint and isn't overly ugly, and the charger/stand also allows for vertical or horizontal storage. I suppose it wouldn't hurt if it was a little more powerful, but this has an acceptable noise level for the power it provides and didn't bog down on any jobs we attempted, so it's hard to complain about. It's a solid five star performer in my book. |
Of the 128 islands that make up the Galapagos, how many are considered main islands? | The group consists of 18 main islands, 3 smaller islands, and 107 rocks and islets. The islands are located at the Galapagos Triple Junction. The archipelago is located on the Nazca Plate (a tectonic plate), which is moving east/southeast, diving under the South American Plate at a rate of about 2.5 inches (6.4 cm) per year. It is also atop the Galápagos hotspot, a place where the Earth's crust is being melted from below by a mantle plume, creating volcanoes. The first islands formed here at least 8 million and possibly up to 90 million years ago.While the older islands have disappeared below the sea as they moved away from the mantle plume, the youngest islands, Isabela and Fernandina, are still being formed. In April 2009, lava from the volcanic island Fernandina started flowing both towards the island's shoreline and into the center caldera.In late June 2018, Sierra Negra, one of five volcanoes on Isabela and one of the most active in the Galapagos archipelago, began erupting for the first time since 2005. Lava flows made their way to the coastline, prompting the evacuation of about fifty nearby residents and restricting tourist access. |
Resources are constrained by hierarchy theorems to produce what? | For the complexity classes defined in this way, it is desirable to prove that relaxing the requirements on (say) computation time indeed defines a bigger set of problems. In particular, although DTIME(n) is contained in DTIME(n2), it would be interesting to know if the inclusion is strict. For time and space requirements, the answer to such questions is given by the time and space hierarchy theorems respectively. They are called hierarchy theorems because they induce a proper hierarchy on the classes defined by constraining the respective resources. Thus there are pairs of complexity classes such that one is properly included in the other. Having deduced such proper set inclusions, we can proceed to make quantitative statements about how much more additional time or space is needed in order to increase the number of problems that can be solved. |
How is the build quality of the pans? | I often don't purchase things like pans from a company that isn't really all that well known for making pans, but Kitchenaid did a very good job in choosing Meyer for their pans. The pans are quite thick and sturdy and the non-stick coating is quite good. I have used a number of pans that have come from different manufacturers, and many times, the non-stick coating doesn't work as well as it should or starts peeling. The non-stick coating on these pans is quite excellent and saves a lot of time. I highly recommend these pans for all those mini jobs even if you don't use them in your countertop oven. |
why was she given the Ashoka Chakra Award? | For her bravery, the Government of India posthumously awarded Bhanot the Ashoka Chakra Award, India's highest gallantry award for bravery in the face of the enemy during peacetime. She is the youngest recipient and the first woman recipient of this award. In 2004 the Indian Postal Service released a stamp commemorating her.After her death, her family set up the Neerja Bhanot Pan Am Trust with insurance money and an equal contribution from Pan Am. The trust presents two awards every year, one for a flight crew member, worldwide, who acts beyond the call of duty and another, the Neerja Bhanot Award, to an Indian woman who when faced with social injustice, bravely faced the situation and helped other women in similar social distress. The award includes a sum of INR 150,000 (approximately US$2,000) a trophy and a citation.Bhanot's brother Aneesh went to Washington, D.C., in 2005 to receive the "Justice for Crimes Award" awarded posthumously to her as part of the Annual Crime Rights Week at a ceremony held at the United States Attorney's office for the District of Columbia. In 2006, she and the other Pan Am Flight 73 flight attendants and Pan Am's flight director for Pakistan were awarded the Special Courage award by the United States Department of Justice.Bhanot House of Austrey School was named in her honour.The Civil Aviation Ministry of India conferred an honor on Bhanot posthumously on 18 February 2010 in New Delhi on the occasion of the launch of the celebrations of the centenary of Indian aviation.On 2 July 2016, the Bharat Gaurav Award was conferred on her at a ceremony held at the House of Commons, UK Parliament in London, England.On 30 May 2018, Punjab University inaugurated the Neerja Bhanot Hostel (Dorm) in the University Campus in Chandigarh. The Hostel (Dorm) can accommodate over 350 girl students. |
At what rank is GPS service in Victoria? | The economy of Victoria is highly diversified: service sectors including financial and property services, health, education, wholesale, retail, hospitality and manufacturing constitute the majority of employment. Victoria's total gross state product (GSP) is ranked second in Australia, although Victoria is ranked fourth in terms of GSP per capita because of its limited mining activity. Culturally, Melbourne is home to a number of museums, art galleries and theatres and is also described as the "sporting capital of Australia". The Melbourne Cricket Ground is the largest stadium in Australia, and the host of the 1956 Summer Olympics and the 2006 Commonwealth Games. The ground is also considered the "spiritual home" of Australian cricket and Australian rules football, and hosts the grand final of the Australian Football League (AFL) each year, usually drawing crowds of over 95,000 people. Victoria includes eight public universities, with the oldest, the University of Melbourne, having been founded in 1853. |
What feature is the oven missing? | Wow.... this oven is just what I wanted. We are a family of 3 and I can cook for the entire family in it. It's great for everything from Fries & Burgers to Cupcakes & Cookies. The Rotisserie is also a great feature..... makes awesome chicken.I think my old oven will only be used when I need to cook a turkey. Although a 6-7 pound turkey CAN be cooked in this oven.* I was a tad surprised that it didn't have an actual "toast" setting, but when I put it on bake for about 5 minutes, I get similar results. * |
How many languages did Ethnologue listed in Philippines? | Ethnologue lists 186 individual languages in the Philippines, 182 of which are living languages, while 4 no longer have any known speakers. Most native languages are part of the Philippine branch of the Malayo-Polynesian languages, which is itself a branch of the Austronesian language family. One native language that is not classified as an Austronesian language are the various Spanish-based creole varieties collectively called Chavacano. There are also many Philippine Negrito languages that have unique vocabularies that survived Austronesian acculturation. |
What is one not common example of a critical complexity measure? | The best, worst and average case complexity refer to three different ways of measuring the time complexity (or any other complexity measure) of different inputs of the same size. Since some inputs of size n may be faster to solve than others, we define the following complexities: |
What do the knives come in? | These beautiful stainless steel steak knives come in an elegant ebony box with gleaming chrome hinges and clasp. They are far sharper than any steak knives I've ever owned; examine the closeups of the knives and you'll see that they are not only serrated but scalloped, too. Those serrations are deep and toothy. When I got the knives, I experimented cutting not only steak and chicken breasts (which they cut beautifully) but also Muenster cheese (thin slivers) and tomatoes (paper-thin slices). The knives handle any task thrown in front of them with ease.As with other Pinzon products I own, these knives are of excellent quality, well balanced and comfortable to hold. They would look beautiful with fancier place settings as well as day-to-day fare. Keep them away from the kids, though, as they are quite sharp.Although they recommend the knives be hand-washed to maintain their beauty, I'm tempted to put one through the dishwasher just to see how it holds up in terms of spotting but also sharpness. I'll have to wait to do that, though, until the effect on me of their sheer gorgeousness wears off...which I doubt will be soon.If Pinzon is not careful, they are going to become the new IKEA--all the rage with many devoted fans. |
What ethnicity have the Filmfare Awards been called? | The Filmfare Awards have been often referred to as the Hindi film industry's equivalent to the Academy Awards in the United States. Until the mid-1990s, Filmfare Awards were the preeminent and most-recognised awards in Bollywood until several other awards sprouted up in Mumbai. This has resulted in a loss of curiosity among audiences and poor viewership since 2000s.It also has other Indian sub-language Awards like Filmfare Awards South for Cinema of South India, Filmfare Marathi Awards for Marathi cinema, Filmfare Awards East for eastern Indian cinema which started few years back |
What is another name for any given measure of input associated with a problem? | A computational problem can be viewed as an infinite collection of instances together with a solution for every instance. The input string for a computational problem is referred to as a problem instance, and should not be confused with the problem itself. In computational complexity theory, a problem refers to the abstract question to be solved. In contrast, an instance of this problem is a rather concrete utterance, which can serve as the input for a decision problem. For example, consider the problem of primality testing. The instance is a number (e.g. 15) and the solution is "yes" if the number is prime and "no" otherwise (in this case "no"). Stated another way, the instance is a particular input to the problem, and the solution is the output corresponding to the given input. |
Who was the chopper bought for? | It's too late to send this back!! (fume!!) This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz.....THE WHOLE CHOPPER IS KAPUT,DEAD, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!! |
No royalties are required from farmers or subsequent users of golden rice genetics as long as their yearly profits are less than how much money? | A recommendation was made that golden rice to be distributed free to subsistence farmers. Free licenses for developing countries were granted quickly due to the positive publicity that golden rice received, particularly in Time magazine in July 2000. Monsanto Company was one of the companies to grant free licences for related patents owned by the company. The cutoff between humanitarian and commercial use was set at US$10,000. Therefore, as long as a farmer or subsequent user of golden rice genetics would not make more than $10,000 per year, no royalties would need to be paid. In addition, farmers would be permitted to keep and replant seed. |
How is the time needed to obtain the question to a problem calculated? | To measure the difficulty of solving a computational problem, one may wish to see how much time the best algorithm requires to solve the problem. However, the running time may, in general, depend on the instance. In particular, larger instances will require more time to solve. Thus the time required to solve a problem (or the space required, or any measure of complexity) is calculated as a function of the size of the instance. This is usually taken to be the size of the input in bits. Complexity theory is interested in how algorithms scale with an increase in the input size. For instance, in the problem of finding whether a graph is connected, how much more time does it take to solve a problem for a graph with 2n vertices compared to the time taken for a graph with n vertices? |
What Crockpot did the reviewer buy? | I am quite mystified at the terrible reviews this crock pot has recieved. I bought the largerCrockpot SCVP609-KLS Smart-Pot 6-Quart Oval-Shaped Slow Cooker with Little Dipper, Whitefor my mom about two years ago and we have used it numerous times to cook many things and have never once had any issues with it. I bought this smaller round one at a local department store and it performs just as well as the larger one.The only reason food will boil over is if you overfill it or you use too much water. Meats and vegetables produce their own moisture when cooking inside a crock so adjust the water you add accordingly. For instance, when I make a beef roast I only add about a third cup of water. Naturally the crock is going to get hot because it has to cook the food over an extended period of time, especially if you set it for 4 or 6 hours on the HIGH setting.Keep in mind that not all reviews are accurate. You can get a product that has poor reviews and discover it's an awesome product. The reason for this is that quite often people will simply not read the directions or display any common sense when using the product. I do not mean to make others sound bad, but this has been my experience when purchasing products online (or anywhere for that matter). |
How many wickets did Khan take? | At the height of his career, in 1982, the thirty-year-old Khan took over the captaincy of the Pakistan cricket team from Javed Miandad. As a captain, Khan played 48 Test matches, of which 14 were won by Pakistan, 8 lost and the remaining 26 were drawn. He also played 139 ODIs, winning 77, losing 57 and ending one in a tie.In the team's second match, Khan led them to their first Test win on English soil for 28 years at Lord's. Khan's first year as captain was the peak of his legacy as a fast bowler as well as an all-rounder. He recorded the best Test bowling of his career while taking 8 wickets for 58 runs against Sri Lanka at Lahore in 1981–1982. He also topped both the bowling and batting averages against England in three Test series in 1982, taking 21 wickets and averaging 56 with the bat. Later the same year, he put up a highly acknowledged performance in a home series against the formidable Indian team by taking 40 wickets in six Tests at an average of 13.95. By the end of this series in 1982–1983, Khan had taken 88 wickets in 13 Test matches over a period of one year as captain. This same Test series against India, however, also resulted in a stress fracture in his shin that kept him out of cricket for more than two years. An experimental treatment funded by the Pakistani government helped him recover by the end of 1984 and he made a successful comeback to international cricket in the latter part of the 1984–1985 season.In India in 1987, Khan led Pakistan in its first-ever Test series win and this was followed by Pakistan's first series victory in England during the same year. During the 1980s, his team also recorded three creditable draws against the West Indies. India and Pakistan co-hosted the 1987 Cricket World Cup, but neither ventured beyond the semi-finals. Khan retired from international cricket at the end of the World Cup. In 1988, he was asked to return to the captaincy by the President of Pakistan, General Zia-Ul-Haq, and on 18 January, he announced his decision to rejoin the team. Soon after returning to the captaincy, Khan led Pakistan to another winning tour in the West Indies, which he has recounted as "the last time I really bowled well". He was declared Man of the Series against West Indies in 1988 when he took 23 wickets in 3 Tests. Khan's career-high as a captain and cricketer came when he led Pakistan to victory in the 1992 Cricket World Cup. Playing with a brittle batting line-up, Khan promoted himself as a batsman to play in the top order along with Javed Miandad, but his contribution as a bowler was minimal. At the age of 39, Khan took the winning last wicket himself. |
How many television and radio channels could the new digital service carry? | When Sky Digital was launched in 1998 the new service used the Astra 2A satellite which was located at the 28.5°E orbital position, unlike the analogue service which was broadcast from 19.2°E. This was subsequently followed by more Astra satellites as well as Eutelsat's Eurobird 1 (now Eutelsat 33C) at 28.5°E), enabled the company to launch a new all-digital service, Sky, with the potential to carry hundreds of television and radio channels. The old position was shared with broadcasters from several European countries, while the new position at 28.5°E came to be used almost exclusively for channels that broadcast to the United Kingdom. |
What material is the item made of? | I have mixed feelings on this product because it has some very good aspects and one very irritating aspect.The good:Using this product on a non-stick pan is perfect, because the silicone glides against the pan without any possibility of scratching. I use this whisk for scrambled eggs every week and they come out perfectly each time. The whisk is aesthetically pleasing, lightweight, and when put together it's just a twist of the base to open the whisk, or you can use it in the "flat mode" as well - it all depends on what you're cooking.It's also very easy to clean the product becomes it comes apart completely. You pull the base node out which unlocks all of the whisks and they can be removed and washed separately. Unfortunately, this is where the downside comes into play...putting it back together.There's only ONE way the base node fits back in, and if you get the whisk parts misaligned in even the slightest way it will not lock back into place without a bit of difficulty. In one case I had to use a pair of needle-nose pliers to turn the metal locking pin at the bottom so I could snap the base node back in. This one aspect has made me avoid taking the whisk apart to clean it - just toss it in the dishwasher or run under hot soapy water in the sink to clean up the brushes. And...unless you're submerging it in some stew or soup, you really do not need to take it completely apart to clean it.Overall I am mixed. It works well as a whisk or in "flat mode" but trying to put it back together after dismantling to clean...yeah not so much. |
Where can Juvavum be found? | Around 15 BC the Roman Empire merged the settlements into one city. At this time, the city was called "Juvavum" and was awarded the status of a Roman municipium in 45 AD. Juvavum developed into an important town of the Roman province of Noricum. After the Norican frontier’s collapse, Juvavum declined so sharply that by the late 7th century it nearly became a ruin.The Life of Saint Rupert credits the 8th-century saint with the city's rebirth. When Theodo of Bavaria asked Rupert to become bishop c. 700, Rupert reconnoitered the river for the site of his basilica. Rupert chose Juvavum, ordained priests, and annexed the manor of Piding. Rupert named the city "Salzburg". He travelled to evangelise among pagans. |
The reasons for the las two counties to be added are based on what? | Southern California, often abbreviated SoCal, is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises California's southernmost 10 counties. The region is traditionally described as "eight counties", based on demographics and economic ties: Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. The more extensive 10-county definition, including Kern and San Luis Obispo counties, is also used based on historical political divisions. Southern California is a major economic center for the state of California and the United States. |
Whats a good theme to be used for this set? | I use this set for cutting gum paste forms for cake decorating. For that purpose, they are excellent. They are sharp and make clean cuts. For a butterfly theme party, it gives you a good variety of butterflies (although a couple are more moth shaped than butterfly shaped). The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection.I took a point off because good cutters have a sharp side and a rolled side to make it easy to work with. The rolled side of this set is still pretty sharp, making it uncomfortable to handle when you're trying to cut a lot of shapes. |
At what age do children in the US generally begin receiving immunization? | The usual course of childhood immunization in the United States is five doses between 2 months and 15 years. For adults, Td boosters are recommended every 10 years. |
Who provided a definition of linear bounded automata in 1970? | Earlier papers studying problems solvable by Turing machines with specific bounded resources include John Myhill's definition of linear bounded automata (Myhill 1960), Raymond Smullyan's study of rudimentary sets (1961), as well as Hisao Yamada's paper on real-time computations (1962). Somewhat earlier, Boris Trakhtenbrot (1956), a pioneer in the field from the USSR, studied another specific complexity measure. As he remembers: |
How can you use the grill pan indoors? | For approximately three years I have used this grill pan to grill indoors. In fact I used it once again to prepare our Fourth of July barbecue inside the house as the wind was blowing. The wind blows here a lot, so I've used this pan many times to get the barbecue flavor indoors.I use my high heat burner to preheat the pan and then grill steaks, hamburgers or hot dogs on it. The pan leaves authentic grill marks on the food. It looks and pretty well tastes like food grilled on the outdoor barbecue grill.The pan is very easy to clean. I let the pan cool and then add a small amount of water to it. I then simmer the water to help release some of the barbecue mess. I gently scrub the pan with my nylon scrubber and I am done.Great tasting food with a pan that's easy to use and clean. |
What happens to big data? | Big data usually includes data sets with sizes beyond the ability of commonly used software tools to capture, curate, manage, and process data within a tolerable elapsed time. Big data philosophy encompasses unstructured, semi-structured and structured data, however the main focus is on unstructured data. Big data "size" is a constantly moving target, as of 2012 ranging from a few dozen terabytes to many zettabytes of data. |
How is Turing machine M said not to operate? | For a precise definition of what it means to solve a problem using a given amount of time and space, a computational model such as the deterministic Turing machine is used. The time required by a deterministic Turing machine M on input x is the total number of state transitions, or steps, the machine makes before it halts and outputs the answer ("yes" or "no"). A Turing machine M is said to operate within time f(n), if the time required by M on each input of length n is at most f(n). A decision problem A can be solved in time f(n) if there exists a Turing machine operating in time f(n) that solves the problem. Since complexity theory is interested in classifying problems based on their difficulty, one defines sets of problems based on some criteria. For instance, the set of problems solvable within time f(n) on a deterministic Turing machine is then denoted by DTIME(f(n)). |
Does the cookware actually let the food come off easier? | Excellent quality cookware. My husband has a tendency to use metal utensils in cookware so I was looking for something nonstick that could take a little abuse. I found it here. If you season them properly per the instructions included, they are indeed nonstick and very scratch resistent. Clean up is a breeze. Love the vented glass lids and coated handles. They take a while to heat up on the eye but once they get going, they cook on a much lower temp then my other cookware. All the handles have nice large holes that will fit any pot rack hook with ease. Wish they came in another color besides the bright red, but I can live with it as all else is wonderful. |
Who directed Bajirao Mastani? | Bajirao Mastani is a 2015 Indian epic historical romance film directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, who also composed its soundtrack. The film was jointly produced by Bhansali and Eros International's Kishore Lulla; it stars Ranveer Singh, Deepika Padukone and Priyanka Chopra. The supporting cast includes Tanvi Azmi, Vaibhav Tatwawaadi and Milind Soman. Based on the Marathi novel Raau by Nagnath S. Inamdar, Bajirao Mastani narrates the story of the Maratha Peshwa Bajirao I (1700–1740 AD) and his second wife (or concubine; some authorities did not consider the union legitimate), Mastani. |
What company no longer trades as Sky? | Formed in November 1990 by the equal merger of Sky Television and British Satellite Broadcasting, BSkyB became the UK's largest digital subscription television company. Following BSkyB's 2014 acquisition of Sky Italia and a majority 90.04% interest in Sky Deutschland in November 2014, its holding company British Sky Broadcasting Group plc changed its name to Sky plc. The United Kingdom operations also changed the company name from British Sky Broadcasting Limited to Sky UK Limited, still trading as Sky. |
Which gasket has better heat range? | These silicone gaskets will replace the rubber one which came with this espresso make. Within the first few uses, I can already sense the silicone gaskets perform better than the original gasket. It doesn't deform as the original or discolor. I used to spend time cleaning coffee fragments which become embedded in the original gasket. The heat range of the silicon gasket is clearly better and since it does not deform, it is easier to clean. Even if your original gasket is still viable, I would recommend replacing it just to reduce the effort of cleaning. |
What does the dosage of caffeine needed to produce a certain affect depend on? | Caffeine is a central nervous system stimulant that reduces fatigue and drowsiness. At normal doses, caffeine has variable effects on learning and memory, but it generally improves reaction time, wakefulness, concentration, and motor coordination. The amount of caffeine needed to produce these effects varies from person to person, depending on body size and degree of tolerance. The desired effects arise approximately one hour after consumption, and the desired effects of a moderate dose usually subside after about three or four hours.Caffeine can delay or prevent sleep and improves task performance during sleep deprivation. Shift workers who use caffeine make fewer mistakes due to drowsiness.A systematic review and meta-analysis from 2014 found that concurrent caffeine and L-theanine use has synergistic psychoactive effects that promote alertness, attention, and task switching; these effects are most pronounced during the first hour post-dose. |
When did Richard II flee to Normandy? | The Normans were in contact with England from an early date. Not only were their original Viking brethren still ravaging the English coasts, they occupied most of the important ports opposite England across the English Channel. This relationship eventually produced closer ties of blood through the marriage of Emma, sister of Duke Richard II of Normandy, and King Ethelred II of England. Because of this, Ethelred fled to Normandy in 1013, when he was forced from his kingdom by Sweyn Forkbeard. His stay in Normandy (until 1016) influenced him and his sons by Emma, who stayed in Normandy after Cnut the Great's conquest of the isle. |
What is the name of the device the user is touting? | I use a lot of recipes from the internet, and this is the ideal way to store those print out sheets of paper. Before, I would just bring my laptop into the kitchen. The problem with that was that if I wanted to use that recipe again later, (usually for me, months later), I would forget exactly which site and recipe I had used. This is also excellent for those printed out recipes that I get from friends and family. I love it, and am much more organized with this in my kitchen. By the way, it is very solid and stands sturdy. My only concern is that when I have used all 26 pages, I don't think Umbra offers refill pages. |
how is the size or shape of molecules described? | Genes are made of DNA. DNA is a long molecule made up of individual molecules called nucleotides. Genetic information is encoded in the sequence of nucleotides, that make up the DNA, just as the sequence of the letters in words carries information on a page. The genes are like short instructions built up of the "letters" of the DNA alphabet. Put together, the entire set of these genes gives enough information to serve as an "instruction manual" of how to build and run an organism. The instructions spelled out by this DNA alphabet can be changed, however, by mutations, and this may alter the instructions carried within the genes. Within the cell, the genes are carried in chromosomes, which are packages for carrying the DNA. It is the reshuffling of the chromosomes that results in unique combinations of genes in offspring. Since genes interact with one another during the development of an organism, novel combinations of genes produced by sexual reproduction can increase the genetic variability of the population even without new mutations. The genetic variability of a population can also increase when members of that population interbreed with individuals from a different population causing gene flow between the populations. This can introduce genes into a population that were not present before.Evolution is not a random process. Although mutations in DNA are random, natural selection is not a process of chance: the environment determines the probability of reproductive success. Evolution is an inevitable result of imperfectly copying, self-replicating organisms reproducing over billions of years under the selective pressure of the environment. The outcome of evolution is not a perfectly designed organism. The end products of natural selection are organisms that are adapted to their present environments. Natural selection does not involve progress towards an ultimate goal. Evolution does not strive for more advanced, more intelligent, or more sophisticated life forms. For example, fleas (wingless parasites) are descended from a winged, ancestral scorpionfly, and snakes are lizards that no longer require limbs—although pythons still grow tiny structures that are the remains of their ancestor's hind legs. Organisms are merely the outcome of variations that succeed or fail, dependent upon the environmental conditions at the time. |
What commonality do alternate machine models, such as random access machines, share with Turing machines? | Many machine models different from the standard multi-tape Turing machines have been proposed in the literature, for example random access machines. Perhaps surprisingly, each of these models can be converted to another without providing any extra computational power. The time and memory consumption of these alternate models may vary. What all these models have in common is that the machines operate deterministically. |
How much was the mixer in use for? | I have just paid $129 to have Kitchenaid repair my two-year old 600 series mixer. It died while making cookie dough. This is my second 600-series mixer; Kitchenaid (to their credit) swapped out the first under warranty after it started behaving erratically.The primary use of this mixer is to make 4 loaves of bread/week. I never expected miracles: bread flour is hard to knead and I'm careful about kneading times and quantities. This is not a professional machine, it's a home appliance. Nevertheless, it died after only a moderate amount of careful use.So, I have reluctantly come to agree with the Kitchenaid bashers here. Based on my experience, the current crop of mixers is not high quality and my next mixer will not be Kitchenaid, sorry to say.It's sad to watch an iconic brand destroy its reputation. |
How were new variations introduced? | An individual organism's phenotype results from both its genotype and the influence from the environment it has lived in. A substantial part of the phenotypic variation in a population is caused by genotypic variation. The modern evolutionary synthesis defines evolution as the change over time in this genetic variation. The frequency of one particular allele will become more or less prevalent relative to other forms of that gene. Variation disappears when a new allele reaches the point of fixation—when it either disappears from the population or replaces the ancestral allele entirely.Natural selection will only cause evolution if there is enough genetic variation in a population. Before the discovery of Mendelian genetics, one common hypothesis was blending inheritance. But with blending inheritance, genetic variance would be rapidly lost, making evolution by natural selection implausible. The Hardy–Weinberg principle provides the solution to how variation is maintained in a population with Mendelian inheritance. The frequencies of alleles (variations in a gene) will remain constant in the absence of selection, mutation, migration and genetic drift.Variation comes from mutations in the genome, reshuffling of genes through sexual reproduction and migration between populations (gene flow). Despite the constant introduction of new variation through mutation and gene flow, most of the genome of a species is identical in all individuals of that species. However, even relatively small differences in genotype can lead to dramatic differences in phenotype: for example, chimpanzees and humans differ in only about 5% of their genomes. |
Who invaded Scotland in the 10th century? | One of the claimants of the English throne opposing William the Conqueror, Edgar Atheling, eventually fled to Scotland. King Malcolm III of Scotland married Edgar's sister Margaret, and came into opposition to William who had already disputed Scotland's southern borders. William invaded Scotland in 1072, riding as far as Abernethy where he met up with his fleet of ships. Malcolm submitted, paid homage to William and surrendered his son Duncan as a hostage, beginning a series of arguments as to whether the Scottish Crown owed allegiance to the King of England. |
which grill do they like more? | I know a lot of people are comparing this to another, higher end product. But I am going to try and compare it to what most people have: a trust George Foreman Grill. My family has been using the Foreman for 10 years and I never thought I would get rid of it. Guess what went in the trash last week?I love the Big Boss grill more than I ever loved my Foreman and here is why:The plates: These easily go into my dish washer, no problem. And they come clean! On the Foreman it was always a struggle to find room and you basically had to scrub them clean before washing them.Folding open: The Foreman was great for steaks and chicken. This is great for a whole lot more! Anything you could make on the Foreman, you can make on the Big Boss. You can also throw out your dedicated griddle: just fold open the Big Boss and pancakes are just a couple of flips away.Cleaning: The Foreman was a mess. You could not get to the nooks and crannies just due to the way it was put together. The Big Boss folds open easily to get at those spots you were scared to look at on the Foreman.So why 4 stars and not 5? No instruction manual, and no waffle plate. The box said it could make waffles...how you can do that with no waffle plate is beyond me.Overall: a great product that I plan to use for several years! |
How much percent of support do their objections have? | Darwin gained extensive experience as he collected and studied the natural history of life forms from distant places. Through his studies, he formulated the idea that each species had developed from ancestors with similar features. In 1838, he described how a process he called natural selection would make this happen.The size of a population depends on how much and how many resources are able to support it. For the population to remain the same size year after year, there must be an equilibrium, or balance between the population size and available resources. Since organisms produce more offspring than their environment can support, not all individuals can survive out of each generation. There must be a competitive struggle for resources that aid in survival. As a result, Darwin realised that it was not chance alone that determined survival. Instead, survival of an organism depends on the differences of each individual organism, or "traits," that aid or hinder survival and reproduction. Well-adapted individuals are likely to leave more offspring than their less well-adapted competitors. Traits that hinder survival and reproduction would disappear over generations. Traits that help an organism survive and reproduce would accumulate over generations. Darwin realised that the unequal ability of individuals to survive and reproduce could cause gradual changes in the population and used the term natural selection to describe this process.Observations of variations in animals and plants formed the basis of the theory of natural selection. For example, Darwin observed that orchids and insects have a close relationship that allows the pollination of the plants. He noted that orchids have a variety of structures that attract insects, so that pollen from the flowers gets stuck to the insects' bodies. In this way, insects transport the pollen from a male to a female orchid. In spite of the elaborate appearance of orchids, these specialised parts are made from the same basic structures that make up other flowers. In his book, Fertilisation of Orchids (1862), Darwin proposed that the orchid flowers were adapted from pre-existing parts, through natural selection.Darwin was still researching and experimenting with his ideas on natural selection when he received a letter from Alfred Russel Wallace describing a theory very similar to his own. This led to an immediate joint publication of both theories. Both Wallace and Darwin saw the history of life like a family tree, with each fork in the tree's limbs being a common ancestor. The tips of the limbs represented modern species and the branches represented the common ancestors that are shared amongst many different species. To explain these relationships, Darwin said that all living things were related, and this meant that all life must be descended from a few forms, or even from a single common ancestor. He called this process descent with modification.Darwin published his theory of evolution by natural selection in On the Origin of Species in 1859. His theory means that all life, including humanity, is a product of continuing natural processes. The implication that all life on Earth has a common ancestor has met with objections from some religious groups. Their objections are in contrast to the level of support for the theory by more than 99 percent of those within the scientific community today. |
What may not be more powerful than others when the resources of time or space of considered? | Many types of Turing machines are used to define complexity classes, such as deterministic Turing machines, probabilistic Turing machines, non-deterministic Turing machines, quantum Turing machines, symmetric Turing machines and alternating Turing machines. They are all equally powerful in principle, but when resources (such as time or space) are bounded, some of these may be more powerful than others. |
Where do i put the Thermoworks? | I have both the fast, foldable Thermoworks and the fast, non-foldable. They are equal in speed and accuracy, although the more expensive turns itself off faster. That's about the only difference of any consequence. Great value. If I had started with this one, I'd have two of these (one for each place). |
When was the mosque at the top built by Babur? | According to the UNESCO, the mountain is "the most complete example of a sacred mountain anywhere in Central Asia, worshipped over several millennia". The site is still a popular place for local Muslims, with stairs leading up to the highest peak where there stands a small mosque originally built by Babur in 1510. Much of the mosque was reconstructed in the late 20th century. |
How many of the six total packages available to broadcasters was Setanta awarded? | Following a lengthy legal battle with the European Commission, which deemed the exclusivity of the rights to be against the interests of competition and the consumer, BSkyB's monopoly came to an end from the 2007–08 season. In May 2006, the Irish broadcaster Setanta Sports was awarded two of the six Premier League packages that the English FA offered to broadcasters. Sky picked up the remaining four for £1.3bn. In February 2015, Sky bid £4.2bn for a package of 120 premier league games across the three seasons from 2016. This represented an increase of 70% on the previous contract and was said to be £1bn more than the company had expected to pay. The move has been followed by staff cuts, increased subscription prices (including 9% in Sky's family package) and the dropping of the 3D channel. |
What did the writer let his horses drink? | We are to insulated from life. I to had these as a kid...Actually even let our horses drink beer out of them (so funny) but these glasses stand the test of time...What I like the best, Ice in a cup, favorite drink and instantly the glass you hold is ice cold..Trust me on this..to cool.Oddly it holds the temprature well, very little condensation aroundAs per the hand wash, get over it, a soapy sponge and a quick wipe dry and back in the counter. How fast is thatEvery house should have one set..Especially for Children, the colors really brighten the Kitchen ! |
