Input: what is the average temperature in ecuador in january

Climate of Ecuador

The weather in Quito is consistent with that of a subtropical highland climate . The city has barely any cool air since it is close to the equator . The average temperature during the day is 70 ° F ( 21 ° C ) , which generally falls to an average of 50 ° F ( 10 ° C ) at night . The average temperature annually is 64 ° F ( 17.8 ° C ) . There are only really two seasons in the city : dry and wet . The dry season ( winter ) runs from June to September and the wet season ( summer ) is from October to May . As most of Ecuador is in the southern hemisphere , June to September is considered to be winter , and winter is generally the dry season in warm climates . Spring , summer , and fall are generally the `` wet seasons '' while winter is the dry ( with the exception of the first month of fall being dry ) .

Input: where does the saying brownie points come from

Brownie points

A popular marketing practice employed by many stores in post-World War II US was the distribution of stamps with each purchase . The number of stamps given out varied with the amount of the purchase . These stamps were collected by customers and later redeemed for household gifts . The earliest of these stamps were brown in color and known as `` brown stamps '' or `` brown points '' . The relationship between a purchase and the collection of these `` brown points '' equated with doing a good thing ( supporting the local vendor ) and getting a bonus ( the valuable stamps ) . Purportedly , the collection of these `` brownie points '' eventually evolved into the modern usage . The term Browniepoints is still used as a marketing practice in business today by a New Zealand power company and also used by a gift service .


Input: who sits in front of president during state of the union

State of the Union

Since 1966 , the speech has been followed on television by a response or rebuttal by a member of the major political party opposing the President 's party . The response is typically broadcast from a studio with no audience . In 1970 , the Democratic Party put together a TV program with their speech to reply to President Nixon , as well as a televised response to Nixon 's written speech in 1973 . The same was done by Democrats for President Reagan 's speeches in 1982 and 1985 . The response is not always produced in a studio ; in 1997 , the Republicans for the first time delivered the response in front of high school students . In 2004 , the Democratic Party 's response was also delivered in Spanish for the first time , by New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson . In 2011 , Minnesota Congresswoman Michele Bachmann also gave a televised response for the Tea Party Express , a first for a political movement .


Input: which of these is best description of passive transport

Passive transport

Facilitated diffusion , also called carrier - mediated osmosis , is the movement of molecules across the cell membrane via special transport proteins that are embedded within the cellular membrane . Large , insoluble molecules , such as glucose , vesicles and proteins require a carrier molecule to move through the plasma membrane . Therefore , it will bind with its specific carrier proteins , and the complex will then be bonded to a receptor site and moved through the cellular membrane . Facilitated diffusion is a passive process : the solutes move down their concentration gradient and do not require the expenditure of cellular energy for this process . Carrier proteins and channel proteins allow for the diffusion of molecules across the cell membrane . Carrier proteins undergo conformational alterations to allow molecules to pass , while channel proteins form unblocked pores .


Input: who was the first rock band to have a video game made featuring their music and images

Rock Band (video game)

Current Harmonix parent company MTV provided financial support to the development process , taking advantage of its stature to facilitate deals with record companies for licensing rights to songs . Several record companies pledged their support by offering master recordings . Pressed for office space , Harmonix was forced to move its offices in the middle of Rock Band 's beta period in order to support the company 's 130 - person staff . However , they continued to bring on more developers in order to complete the title on time . This led to several problems in bringing the newer coders on board without any technical plan , requiring the team to redesign several parts of the game , such as online matchmaking , several times to correct . Although the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game were developed in - house , Harmonix outsourced development of the PlayStation 2 version to Pi Studios , as it omits certain features .


Input: where is the bulk of medicaid funds spent

Expenditures in the United States federal budget

The financial condition of the Social Security and Medicare programs remains challenging . Projected long run program costs are not sustainable under current program parameters . Social Security 's annual surpluses of tax income over expenditures are expected to fall sharply this year and to stay about constant in 2010 because of the economic recession , and to rise only briefly before declining and turning to cash flow deficits beginning in 2016 that grow as the baby boom generation retires . The deficits will be made up by redeeming trust fund assets until reserves are exhausted in 2037 , at which point tax income would be sufficient to pay about three fourths of scheduled benefits through 2083 . Medicare 's financial status is much worse . As was true in 2008 , Medicare 's Hospital Insurance ( HI ) Trust Fund is expected to pay out more in hospital benefits and other expenditures this year than it receives in taxes and other dedicated revenues . The difference will be made up by redeeming trust fund assets . Growing annual deficits are projected to exhaust HI reserves in 2017 , after which the percentage of scheduled benefits payable from tax income would decline from 81 percent in 2017 to about 50 percent in 2035 and 30 percent in 2080 . In addition , the Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance ( SMI ) Trust Fund that pays for physician services and the prescription drug benefit will continue to require general revenue financing and charges on beneficiaries that grow substantially faster than the economy and beneficiary incomes over time .

Input: when did the nfl start playing the national anthem

U.S. national anthem protests (2016–present)

On November 13 , 2016 , 5 days after Donald Trump was elected President , Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide - receiver Mike Evans decided to sit during the national anthem . According to Sports Illustrated , Evans said , `` If this happens , then America 's not right right now . I said this a long time ago . When he ran , I thought it was a joke , and the joke continues . I 'm not a political person that much , but I got common sense . And I know when something 's not right . '' However , his protest began the day following Veterans Day , so he received criticism . He quickly changed his method of protesting and joined his teammates during the following game against the Kansas City Chiefs . He apologized to veterans and other members of the military for his actions -- citing that the timing of his protest was poor . `` On the field , I 'm going to continue to do what I do -- play hard . I 'm playing hard because I 've got this right -- freedom , because of the vets . I 'm going to reach out to organizations , organizations that I feel are doing the best job to help the minority ... women , LGBT , African Americans , Latinos , people that are in fear of Donald Trump and his presidency .

Input: who was involved in the great wall of china

History of the Great Wall of China

In the 13th century , the Mongol leader Genghis Khan , once a vassal of the Jurchens , rose up against the Jin dynasty . In the ensuing Mongol conquest of the Jin dynasty , the nomadic invaders avoided direct attacks on the Jin fortifications . Instead , when they could , the Mongols simply rode around the walls ; an effective example of this tactic is in 1211 , when they circumvented the substantial fortress in Zhangjiakou and inflicted a terrible defeat upon the Jin armies at the Battle of Yehuling . The Mongols also took advantage of lingering Liao resentment against the Jin ; the Khitan defenders of the garrisons along the Jin walls , such as those in Gubeikou , often preferred to surrender to the Mongols rather than fight them . The only major engagement of note along the main Great Wall line was at the heavily defended Juyong Pass : instead of laying siege , the Mongol general Jebe lured the defenders out into an ambush and charged in through the opened gates . In 1215 , Genghis Khan besieged , captured , and sacked the Jin capital of Yanjing ( modern - day Beijing ) . The Jin dynasty eventually collapsed following the siege of Caizhou in 1234 . Western Xia had already fallen in 1227 , and the Southern Song resisted the Mongols until 1279 .


Input: all tables are to be numbered using arabic numerals

Arabic numerals

The widespread Western Arabic numerals used with the Latin script , in the table below labelled European , descended from the West Arabic numerals developed in al - Andalus ( Andalucía , Spain ) and the Maghreb . Spanish scholars , because of the geographic proximity , trade , and constant warfare with the Muslim kingdoms of Southern Spain , saw a potential in the simplicity of Arabic numbers , and decided to adopt those symbols , and later other Europeans followed suit . There are two typographic styles for rendering European numerals , known as lining figures and text figures . The Arabic -- Indic or Eastern Arabic numerals , used with the Arabic script , developed primarily in what is now Iraq . A variant of the Eastern Arabic numerals used in the Persian and Urdu languages is shown below as East Arabic - Indic . The Devanagari numerals used with Devanagari and related variants are grouped as Indian numerals .

I could n't pull it off and there are other people who can perfectly , but I just could n't take myself seriously . '' However , later impressed with Batman Begins , Ledger sought the part of the Joker from Nolan . Impressed with Ledger 's determination , Nolan cast him in the part . `` Heath was just ready to do it , he was ready to do something that big . '' Casting director John Papsidera reflected on the casting choice , saying the filmmakers knew they needed somebody courageous to play the part . Heath Ledger was cast before there was a script .

Input: history of public administration in the united states

Public administration

By the 1920s , scholars of public administration had responded to Wilson 's solicitation and thus textbooks in this field were introduced . A few distinguished scholars of that period were , Luther Gulick , Lyndall Urwick , Henri Fayol , Frederick Taylor , and others . Frederick Taylor ( 1856 -- 1915 ) , another prominent scholar in the field of administration and management also published a book entitled The Principles of Scientific Management ( 1911 ) . He believed that scientific analysis would lead to the discovery of the `` one best way '' to do things or carrying out an operation . This , according to him could help save cost and time . Taylor 's technique was later introduced to private industrialists , and later into the various government organizations ( Jeong , 2007 ) .

Input: speech to the american equal rights association summary

American Equal Rights Association

Disagreement was especially sharp over the proposed Fifteenth Amendment , which would prohibit the denial of suffrage because of race . In practice it would , theoretically at least , guarantee suffrage for virtually all males . Anthony and Stanton opposed passage of the amendment unless it was accompanied by a Sixteenth Amendment that would guarantee suffrage for women . Otherwise , they said , it would create an `` aristocracy of sex '' by giving constitutional authority to the belief that men were superior to women . Male power and privilege was at the root of society 's ills , Stanton argued , and nothing should be done to strengthen it . Anthony and Stanton also warned that black men , who would have voting power under the amendment , were overwhelmingly opposed to women 's suffrage . ( They were not alone in being unsure of black male support for women 's suffrage . Frederick Douglass , a strong supporter of women 's suffrage , said , `` The race to which I belong have not generally taken the right ground on this question . '' )


Input: who were the principal musicians of the jazz avant-garde

Cool jazz

In 1948 , Miles Davis formed a nonet including Mulligan , Konitz , and Evans from Thornhill 's orchestra . Capitol Records recorded the group ( at arranger Pete Rugolo 's suggestion ) in 1949 and 1950 . These recordings , originally issued as 78 rpm records , were later compiled as Birth of the Cool ( 1957 ) . Gerry Mulligan explained that the idea behind Davis 's Nonet was not to get away from bebop , but `` just to try to get a good little rehearsal band together . Something to write for ... As far as the ' Cool Jazz ' part of it , all of that comes after the fact of what it was designed to be . '' As for Davis , his concern at the time was simply to play with a lighter sound , which he believed to be more expressive . Also his choice of notes suggested great deliberation rather than wild exuberance


Input: the equal rights amendment banned discrimination based on which of these

Equal Rights Amendment

Opponents of the ERA focused on traditional gender roles , such as how men do the fighting in wartime . They argued that the amendment would eliminate the men - only draft requirement and guarantee the possibility that women would be subject to conscription and be required to have military combat roles in future wars if it were passed . Defense of traditional gender roles proved to be a useful tactic . In Illinois , supporters of Phyllis Schlafly , a conservative Republican activist from Illinois , used traditional symbols of the American housewife . They took homemade bread , jams , and apple pies to the state legislators , with the slogans , `` Preserve us from a congressional jam ; Vote against the ERA sham '' and `` I am for Mom and apple pie . '' They appealed to married women by stressing that the amendment would repeal protective laws such as alimony and eliminate the tendency for mothers to obtain custody over their children in divorce cases . It was suggested that single - sex bathrooms would be eliminated and same - sex couples would be able to get married if the amendment were passed . Traditional women started to oppose the ERA . Schlafly said the ERA was designed for the benefit of young career women and warned that if men and women had to be treated identically it would threaten the security of middle - aged housewives with no job skills . They could no longer count on alimony or Social Security . Opponents also argued that men and women were already equal enough with the passage of the Equal Pay Act of 1963 and the Civil Rights Act of 1964 , and that women 's colleges would have to admit men . Her argument that protective laws would be lost resonated with working - class women . Phyllis

Flag of Ireland

In the Irish Free State which existed between 1922 and 1937 , the flag was adopted by the Executive Council . The Free State constitution did not specify national symbols ; the decision to use the flag was made without recourse to statute . When the Free State joined the League of Nations in September 1923 , the new flag `` created a good deal of interest amongst the general public '' in Geneva . The defeated republicans who had fought the Free State 's forces in the 1922 -- 23 Civil War regarded the tricolour as the flag of the self - proclaimed Irish Republic , and condemned its appropriation by the new state , as expressed in the song `` Take It Down From The Mast '' . The Executive Council 's decision was a provisional one . A 1928 British document said :

History of West Africa

In the city of Gobir , Usman dan Fodio ( 1754 -- 1817 ) accused the Hausa leadership of practising an impure version of Islam and of being morally corrupt . In 1804 , he launched the Fulani War as a jihad among a population that was restless about high taxes and discontented with its leaders . Jihad fever swept northern Nigeria , with strong support among both the Fulani and the Hausa . Usman created an empire that included parts of northern Nigeria , Benin , and Cameroon , with Sokoto as its capital . He retired to teach and write and handed the empire to his son Muhammed Bello . The Sokoto Caliphate lasted until 1903 when the British conquered northern Nigeria . Forest


Input: real-world example in which hidden variables may be an issue

Correlation does not imply causation

Well - designed experimental studies replace equality of individuals as in the previous example by equality of groups . The objective is to construct two groups that are similar except for the treatment that the groups receive . This is achieved by selecting subjects from a single population and randomly assigning them to two or more groups . The likelihood of the groups behaving similarly to one another ( on average ) rises with the number of subjects in each group . If the groups are essentially equivalent except for the treatment they receive , and a difference in the outcome for the groups is observed , then this constitutes evidence that the treatment is responsible for the outcome , or in other words the treatment causes the observed effect . However , an observed effect could also be caused `` by chance '' , for example as a result of random perturbations in the population . Statistical tests exist to quantify the likelihood of erroneously concluding that an observed difference exists when in fact it does not ( for example see P - value ) .

Input: what led to the development of the blues

Origins of the blues

Songs from this period had many different structures . A testimony of those times can be found for instance in Henry Thomas 's recordings . However , the twelve - , eight - bar , or sixteen - bar structure based on tonic , subdominant and dominant chords became the most common . Melodically , blues music is marked by the use of the lowered third and dominant seventh ( so - called blue notes ) of the associated major scale . The standard 12 - bar blues form is noted in uncorroborated oral histories as appearing communities throughout the region along the lower Mississippi River during the decade of the 1900s ( and performed in New Orleans at least since 1908 ) . One of these early sites of blues evolution was along Beale Street in Memphis , Tennessee . However , author Eileen Southern has pointed out several contrasting statements by old - time musicians . She cites Eubie Blake as saying `` Blues in Baltimore ? Why , Baltimore is the blues ! '' and Bunk Johnson as claiming that the blues was around in his childhood , in the 1880s .


Input: how much of the world's cocoa comes from ghana

Cocoa production in Ghana

In 1979 , the government initiated reform of the cocoa sector , focusing on the government 's role in controlling the industry through the Cocoa Marketing Board . The board was dissolved and reconstituted as the Ghana Cocoa Board ( Cocobod ) . In 1984 it underwent further institutional reform aimed at subjecting the cocoa sector to market forces . Cocobod 's role was reduced , and 40 percent of its staff , or at least 35,000 employees , were dismissed . Furthermore , the government shifted responsibility for crop transport to the private sector . Subsidies for production inputs ( fertilizers , insecticides , fungicides , and equipment ) were removed , and there was a measure of privatization of the processing sector through at least one joint venture . In addition , a new payment system known as the Akuafo Check System was introduced in 1982 at the point of purchase of dried beans . Formerly , produce buying clerks had often held back cash payments , abused funds , and paid farmers with false checks . Under the Akuafo system , a farmer was given a check signed by the produce clerk and the treasurer that he could cash at a bank of his choice .

Sawing a woman in half

The ropes or chains are threaded through holes in the table and the ends given to volunteers , who are instructed to pull them tight and hold them that way throughout the illusion . The assistant is thus pulled down onto her back and secured in that position . Two halves of a large box are presented and fixed in place over the assistant , covering her completely . Side panels are opened to show the assistant is still in place lying flat on her back . The assistant is then divided into two . Sometimes the division is accomplished merely by pushing two metal dividing panels into slots near where the two halves meet .


Input: the need to recognize and empower the girl child wikipedia

Women's empowerment

Women 's empowerment is the process in which women expand and recreate what it is that they can be , do , and accomplish in a circumstance that they previously were denied . Alternatively , it is the process for women to redefine gender roles that allows for them to acquire the ability to choose between known alternatives whom have otherwise been restricted from such an ability . There are several principles defining women 's empowerment such as , for one to be empowered , they must come from a position of disempowerment . Furthermore , one must acquire empowerment themselves rather than have it given to them by an external party . Other studies have found that empowerment definitions entail people having the capability to make important decisions in their lives while also being able to act on them . Lastly , empowerment and disempowerment is relative to other at a previous time ; therefore , empowerment is a process , not a product .

Input: when did the assault rifle become available to the public

Assault rifle

In March 1970 , the U.S. recommended that all NATO forces adopt the 5.56 × 45mm cartridge . This shift represented a change in the philosophy of the military 's long - held position about caliber size . By the middle of the 1970s , other armies were looking at assault rifle type weapons . A NATO standardization effort soon started and tests of various rounds were carried out starting in 1977 . The U.S. offered the 5.56 × 45mm M193 round , but there were concerns about its penetration in the face of the wider introduction of body armor . In the end the Belgian 5.56 × 45mm SS109 round was chosen ( STANAG 4172 ) in October 1980 . The SS109 round was based on the U.S. cartridge but included a new stronger , heavier , 62 grain bullet design , with better long range performance and improved penetration ( specifically , to consistently penetrate the side of a steel helmet at 600 meters ) .

Input: where did the tom turkey get its name

Wild turkey

`` Others object to the Bald Eagle , as looking too much like a Dindon , or Turkey . For my own part I wish the Bald Eagle had not been chosen the Representative of our Country . He is a Bird of bad moral Character . He does not get his Living honestly . You may have seen him perched on some dead Tree near the River , where , too lazy to fish for himself , he watches the Labour of the Fishing Hawk ( osprey ) ; and when that diligent Bird has at length taken a Fish , and is bearing it to his Nest for the Support of his Mate and young Ones , the Bald Eagle pursues him and takes it from him . With all this Injustice , he is never in good Case but like those among Men who live by Sharping & Robbing he is generally poor and often very lousy . Besides he is a rank Coward : The little King Bird not bigger than a Sparrow attacks him boldly and drives him out of the District . He is therefore by no means a proper Emblem for the brave and honest Cincinnati of America who have driven all the King birds from our Country ... I am on this account not displeased that the Figure is not known as a Bald Eagle , but looks more like a Turkey . For in Truth the Turkey is in Comparison a much more respectable Bird , and withal a true original Native of America ... He is besides , though a little vain & silly , a Bird of Courage , and would not hesitate to attack a Grenadier of the British Guards who should presume to invade his Farm Yard with a red Coat on .

Input: where was the cotton gin invented and where is it used today

Cotton gin

The invention of the cotton gin caused massive growth in the production of cotton in the United States , concentrated mostly in the South . Cotton production expanded from 750,000 bales in 1830 to 2.85 million bales in 1850 . As a result , the region became even more dependent on plantations and slavery , with plantation agriculture becoming the largest sector of its economy . While it took a single slave about ten hours to separate a single pound of fiber from the seeds , a team of two or three slaves using a cotton gin could produce around fifty pounds of cotton in just one day . The number of slaves rose in concert with the increase in cotton production , increasing from around 700,000 in 1790 to around 3.2 million in 1850 . By 1860 , black slave labor from the American South was providing two - thirds of the world 's supply of cotton , and up to 80 % of the crucial British market . The cotton gin thus `` transformed cotton as a crop and the American South into the globe 's first agricultural powerhouse '' . An

Input: a rock with equal modal contents of quartz plagioclase and orthoclase is known as

Leucitite

Those leucite rocks which contain abundant essential plagioclase feldspar are known as leucite tephrites and leucite basanites . The former consist mainly of plagioclase , leucite and augite , while the latter contain olivine in addition . The leucite is often present in two sets of crystals , both porphyritic and as an ingredient of the ground mass . It is always idiomorphic with rounded outlines . The feldspar ranges from bytownite to oligoclase , being usually a variety of labradorite ; orthoclase is scarce . The augite varies a good deal in chemnistry and optical character , being green , brown or violet ( suggesting high Na and Ti content ) , but it is rarely high enough in Na and Fe to qualify as aegirine - augite or aegirine . Among the accessory minerals biotite , brown hornblende , hauyne , iron oxides and apatite are the commonest ; melanite and nepheline may also occur . The ground mass of these rocks is only occasionally rich in glass . The leucite - tephrites and leucite - basanites of Vesuvius and Somma are familiar examples of this class of rocks . They are black or ashy - grey in color , often vesicular , and may contain many large grey phenocysts of leucite . Their black augite and yellow green olivine are also easily observed in hand specimens . From Volcan Ello , Sardinia and Roccamonfina similar rocks are obtained ; they occur also in Bohemia , in Java , Celebes , Kilimanjaro ( Africa ) and near Trebizond in Asia Minor .

Input: unable to build nests or care for their young

Bird nest

In warm climates , such as deserts and salt flats , heat rather than cold can kill the developing embryos . In such places , scrapes are shallower and tend to be lined with non-vegetative material ( including shells , feathers , sticks and soil ) , which allows convective cooling to occur as air moves over the eggs . Some species , such as the lesser nighthawk and the red - tailed tropicbird , help reduce the nest 's temperature by placing it in partial or full shade . Others , including some shorebirds , cast shade with their bodies as they stand over their eggs . Some shorebirds also soak their breast feathers with water and then sit on the eggs , providing moisture to enable evaporative cooling . Parent birds keep from overheating themselves by gular panting while they are incubating , frequently exchanging incubation duties , and standing in water when they are not incubating .
