Input: where does the name axis powers come from

Axis powers

The Axis grew out of the diplomatic efforts of Germany , Italy , and Japan to secure their own specific expansionist interests in the mid-1930s . The first step was the treaty signed by Germany and Italy in October 1936 . Benito Mussolini declared on 1 November that all other European countries would from then on rotate on the Rome -- Berlin axis , thus creating the term `` Axis '' . The almost simultaneous second step was the signing in November 1936 of the Anti-Comintern Pact , an anti-communist treaty between Germany and Japan . Italy joined the Pact in 1937 . The `` Rome -- Berlin Axis '' became a military alliance in 1939 under the so - called `` Pact of Steel '' , with the Tripartite Pact of 1940 leading to the integration of the military aims of Germany , Italy and Japan .

Input: who was the statue of liberty intended for

Statue of Liberty

According to the National Park Service , the idea for the Statue of Liberty was first proposed by Édouard René de Laboulaye the president of the French Anti-Slavery Society and a prominent and important political thinker of his time . The project is traced to a mid-1865 conversation between de Laboulaye , a staunch abolitionist and Frédéric Bartholdi , a sculptor . In after - dinner conversation at his home near Versailles , Laboulaye , an ardent supporter of the Union in the American Civil War , is supposed to have said : `` If a monument should rise in the United States , as a memorial to their independence , I should think it only natural if it were built by united effort -- a common work of both our nations . '' The National Park Service , in a 2000 report , however , deemed this a legend traced to an 1885 fundraising pamphlet , and that the statue was most likely conceived in 1870 . In another essay on their website , the Park Service suggested that Laboulaye was minded to honor the Union victory and its consequences , `` With the abolition of slavery and the Union 's victory in the Civil War in 1865 , Laboulaye 's wishes of freedom and democracy were turning into a reality in the United States . In order to honor these achievements , Laboulaye proposed that a gift be built for the United States on behalf of France . Laboulaye hoped that by calling attention to the recent achievements of the United States , the French people would be inspired to call for their own democracy in the face of a repressive monarchy .

Input: where do you jump from in long jump

Long jump

At the elite level , competitors run down a runway ( usually coated with the same rubberized surface as running tracks , crumb rubber also vulcanized rubber -- known generally as an all - weather track ) and jump as far as they can from a wooden board 20 cm or 8 inches wide that is built flush with the runway into a pit filled with finely ground gravel or sand . If the competitor starts the leap with any part of the foot past the foul line , the jump is declared a foul and no distance is recorded . A layer of plasticine is placed immediately after the board to detect this occurrence . An official ( similar to a referee ) will also watch the jump and make the determination . The competitor can initiate the jump from any point behind the foul line ; however , the distance measured will always be perpendicular to the foul line to the nearest break in the sand caused by any part of the body or uniform . Therefore , it is in the best interest of the competitor to get as close to the foul line as possible . Competitors are allowed to place two marks along the side of the runway in order to assist them to jump accurately . At a lesser meet and facilities , the plasticine will likely not exist , the runway might be a different surface or jumpers may initiate their jump from a painted or taped mark on the runway . At a smaller meet , the number of attempts might also be limited to four or three .

Input: the term for a solution that has an equal concentration of h+ and oh- is

pH

Pure water is neutral . When an acid is dissolved in water , the pH will be less than 7 ( 25 ° C ) . When a base , or alkali , is dissolved in water , the pH will be greater than 7 . A solution of a strong acid , such as hydrochloric acid , at concentration 1 mol dm has a pH of 0 . A solution of a strong alkali , such as sodium hydroxide , at concentration 1 mol dm , has a pH of 14 . Thus , measured pH values will lie mostly in the range 0 to 14 , though negative pH values and values above 14 are entirely possible . Since pH is a logarithmic scale , a difference of one pH unit is equivalent to a tenfold difference in hydrogen ion concentration . The pH of neutrality is not exactly 7 ( 25 ° C ) , although this is a good approximation in most cases . Neutrality is defined as the condition where ( H ) = ( OH ) ( or the activities are equal ) . Since self - ionization of water holds the product of these concentration ( H ) × ( OH ) = K , it can be seen that at neutrality ( H ) = ( OH ) = √ ( K ) , or pH = pK / 2 . pK is approximately 14 but depends on ionic strength and temperature , and so the pH of neutrality does also . Pure water and a solution of NaCl in pure water are both neutral , since dissociation of water produces equal numbers of both ions . However the pH of the neutral NaCl solution will be slightly different from that of neutral pure water because the hydrogen and hydroxide ions ' activity is dependent on ionic strength , so K varies with ionic strength .

Answer: Neutrality is defined as the condition where ( H ) = ( OH ) (or the activities are equal).

Neutrality is defined as the condition where ( H ) =


Input: what type of fish did they eat in ancient greece

Ancient Greek cuisine

In the Greek islands and on the coast , fresh fish and seafood ( squid , octopus , and shellfish ) were common . They were eaten locally but more often transported inland . Sardines and anchovies were regular fare for the citizens of Athens . They were sometimes sold fresh , but more frequently salted . A stele of the late 3rd century BC from the small Boeotian city of Akraiphia , on Lake Copais , provides us with a list of fish prices . The cheapest was skaren ( probably parrotfish ) whereas Atlantic bluefin tuna was three times as expensive . Common salt water fish were yellowfin tuna , red mullet , ray , swordfish or sturgeon , a delicacy which was eaten salted . Lake Copais itself was famous in all Greece for its eels , celebrated by the hero of The Acharnians . Other fresh water fish were pike - fish , carp and the less appreciated catfish . In classical Athens , eels , conger - eels , and sea - perch ( ὈρΦὸς ) were considered to be great delicacies , while sprats were cheap and readily available .

Input: what happened when wolves were removed from yellowstone

History of wolves in Yellowstone

Once the wolves were gone , elk populations began to rise . Over the next few years conditions of Yellowstone National Park declined drastically . A team of scientists visiting Yellowstone in 1929 and 1933 reported , `` The range was in deplorable conditions when we first saw it , and its deterioration has been progressing steadily since then . '' By this time many biologists were worried about eroding land and plants dying off . The elk were multiplying inside the park and deciduous , woody species such as aspen and cottonwood suffered from overgrazing . The park service started trapping and moving the elk and , when that was not effective , killing them . Elk population control methods continued for more than 30 years . Elk control prevented further degradation of the range , but did n't improve its overall condition . At times , people would mention bringing wolves back to Yellowstone to help control the elk population . Yellowstone 's managers were not eager to bring back wolves , especially after so successfully extirpating them from the park . Elk control continued into the 1960s . In the late 1960s , local hunters began to complain to their congressmen that there were too few elk , and the congressmen threatened to stop funding Yellowstone . Killing elk was given up as control method which allowed elk populations to again rise . As elk populations rose , the quality of the range decreased affecting many other animals . Without wolves , coyote populations increased dramatically which adversely impacted the pronghorn antelope population . However , it was the overly large elk populations that caused the most profound changes to the ecosystem of Yellowstone with the absence of wolves .

Input: what are the characteristics of a maritime tropical air mass

Air mass

Tropical and equatorial air masses are hot as they develop over lower latitudes . Those that develop over land ( continental ) are drier and hotter than those that develop over oceans , and travel poleward on the western periphery of the subtropical ridge . Maritime tropical air masses are sometimes referred to as trade air masses . Monsoon air masses are moist and unstable . Superior air masses are dry , and rarely reach the ground . They normally reside over maritime tropical air masses , forming a warmer and drier layer over the more moderate moist air mass below , forming what is known as a trade wind inversion over the maritime tropical air mass . Continental Polar air masses ( cP ) are air masses that are cold and dry due to their continental source region . Continental polar air masses that affect North America form over interior Canada . Continental Tropical air masses ( cT ) are a type of tropical air produced by the subtropical ridge over large areas of land and typically originate from low - latitude deserts such as the Sahara Desert in northern Africa , which is the major source of these air masses . Other less important sources producing cT air masses are the Arabian Peninsula , the central arid / semi-arid part of Australia and deserts lying in the Southwestern United States . Continental tropical air masses are extremely hot and dry .

Answer: Maritime tropical air masses are sometimes referred to as trade air masses.   Superior air masses are dry, and rarely reach the ground.  Superior air masses are dry and rarely reach the ground.

Input: why is the number of pharyngeal gill slits in sharks

Gill slit

Most sharks and rays have five pairs of gill slits , but a few species have 6 or 7 pairs . Shark gill slits lie in a row behind the head . The anterior edge of a gill slit is motile , moving outward to allow water to exit , but closing to prevent reverse flow . A modified slit , called a spiracle , lies just behind the eye , which assists the shark with taking in water during respiration and plays a major role in bottom -- dwelling sharks . Spiracles are reduced or missing in active pelagic sharks . While the shark is moving , water passes through the mouth and over the gills in a process known as `` ram ventilation '' . While at rest , most sharks pump water over their gills to ensure a constant supply of oxygenated water . A small number of species have lost the ability to pump water through their gills and must swim without rest . These species are obligate ram ventilators and would presumably asphyxiate if unable to move . Obligate ram ventilation is also true of some pelagic bony fish species .

Input: where does the saying writing on the wall come from

Belshazzar's feast

Belshazzar 's feast , or the story of the writing on the wall ( chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel ) tells how Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple . A hand appears and writes on the wall . The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men , but they are unable to read the writing . The queen advises him to send for Daniel , renowned for his wisdom . Daniel reminds Belshazzar that his father Nebuchadnezzar , when he became arrogant , was thrown down until he learned that God has sovereignty over the kingdom of men . Belshazzar had likewise blasphemed God , and so God sent this hand . Daniel then reads the message and interprets it : God has numbered Belshazzar 's days , he has been weighed and found wanting , and his kingdom will be given to the Medes and the Persians .

Input: when does it get cold in south alabama

Climate of Alabama

Summers in Alabama are one of the hottest in the United States , with high temperatures averaging over 90 ° F ( 32 ° C ) throughout the summer in many parts of the state . The heat of summer is tempered in the extreme south by the winds from the Gulf of Mexico which often blow inland by up to 10 -- 15 miles , and in the north by the elevation above the sea . Afternoon high temperatures are highest in Montgomery ( 92.4 degrees daily from June through August ) and in Tuscaloosa . The average nighttime humidity is highest in southwest Alabama , which results in the highest average ( high plus low temperature ) for reporting stations in the state . While afternoon highs in Mobile are cooler than their inland sister cities , the remaining warm air trapped near the Gulf at night results in the average annual temperature for Mobiles being the highest in the southwest along the coast . Cool morning temperatures help keep the northeast highlands among the more temperate locations in the state and lowest in the northeast among the highlands . Thus at Mobile the annual mean is 67 ° F ( 19 ° C ) , the mean for the summer 81 ° F ( 27 ° C ) , and for the winter 52 ° F ( 11 ° C ) ; and at Valley Head , in De Kalb county , the annual mean is 59 ° F ( 15 ° C ) , the mean for the summer 75 ° F ( 24 ° C ) , and for the winter 41 ° F ( 5 ° C ) . At Montgomery , in the central region , the average annual temperature is 66 ° F ( 19 ° C ) , with a winter average of 49 ° F ( 9 ° C ) , and a summer average of 81 ° F ( 27 ° C ) . The average winter minimum for the entire state is 35 ° F ( 2 ° C ) , and there is an average of 35 days in each year in which the thermometer falls below the freezing - point . At extremely rare intervals the thermometer has fallen below zero ( - 18 ° C ) , as was the case in the remarkable cold wave of the 12th - 13 February 1899 , when an absolute minimum of - 17 ° F ( - 29 ° C ) was registered at Valley Head . The highest temperature ever recorded was 111 ° F ( 44 ° C ) in Centreville in 1925 . Close competing temperatures occurred in 2007 when during the August heat wave , three instances of official 108 degree heat were recorded at Maxwell AFB in Montgomery , each tying the all - time record for the capital city . Winters are generally mild in Alabama , as they are throughout most of the southeastern United States , with average January low temperatures around 40 ° F ( 4 ° C ) in Mobile , around 31 ° F ( − 1 ° C ) in Huntsville , around 35 ° F ( 2 ° C ) in Montgomery , and around 33 ° F ( 1 ° C ) in Birmingham .

Answer: The average winter minimum for the entire state is 35 ° F (2 ° C), and there is an average of 35 days in each year in which the thermometer falls below the freezing - point.   Winters are generally mild in Alabama with average January low temperatures around 40 ° F (4 ° C) in Mobile, around 31 ° F (− 1 ° C) in Huntsville, around 35 ° F (2 ° C) in Montgomery, and around 33 ° F (1 ° C) in Birmingham.

Input: what does lh do in the menstrual cycle

Luteinizing hormone

LH supports theca cells in the ovaries that provide androgens and hormonal precursors for estradiol production . At the time of menstruation , FSH initiates follicular growth , specifically affecting granulosa cells . With the rise in estrogens , LH receptors are also expressed on the maturing follicle , which causes it to produce more estradiol . Eventually , when the follicle has fully matured , a spike in 17α - hydroxyprogesterone production by the follicle inhibits the production of estrogens , leading to a decrease in estrogen - mediated negative feedback of GnRH in the hypothalamus , which then stimulates the release of LH from the anterior pituitary . However another theory of the LH peak is a positive feedback mechanism from estradiol . The levels keep rising through the follicular phase and when they reach an unknown threshold , this results in the peak of the LH . This effect is opposite from the usual negative feedback mechanism presented at lower levels . In other words , the mechanism ( s ) are not yet clear . The increase in LH production only lasts for 24 to 48 hours . This `` LH surge '' triggers ovulation , thereby not only releasing the egg from the follicle , but also initiating the conversion of the residual follicle into a corpus luteum that , in turn , produces progesterone to prepare the endometrium for a possible implantation . LH is necessary to maintain luteal function for the second two weeks of the menstrual cycle . If pregnancy occurs , LH levels will decrease , and luteal function will instead be maintained by the action of hCG ( human chorionic gonadotropin ) , a hormone very similar to LH but secreted from the new placenta .

Answer:
LH supports theca cells in the ovaries that provide androgens and hormonal precursors for estradiol production.
 LH is necessary to maintain luteal function for the second two weeks of the menstrual cycle.

Input: why was the battle of natural bridge significant during the civil war

Battle of Natural Bridge

The Battle of Natural Bridge was a battle during the American Civil War , fought in what is now Woodville , Florida , near Tallahassee , on March 6 , 1865 . A small band of Confederate troops and volunteers , mostly composed of teenagers from the nearby Florida Military and Collegiate Institute that would later become Florida State University , and the elderly , protected by breastworks , prevented a detachment of United States Colored Troops from crossing the Natural Bridge on the St. Marks River . The Natural Bridge is a one - quarter mile long stretch along which the St. Marks River runs underground , after dropping into a sinkhole . This action prevented the Union Army from capturing the Florida capital and made Tallahassee the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River not to be captured by Union forces during the war . The battle has been described as the last Confederate victory in the American Civil War , and it was the second largest American Civil War battle in Florida .

Answer: A small band of Confederate troops and volunteers, mostly composed of teenagers, prevented a detachment of United States Colored Troops from crossing the Natural Bridge on the St. Marks River.  This action prevented the Union Army from capturing the Florida capital and made Tallahassee the only Confederate capital east of the Mississippi River not to be captured by Union forces during the war.

Input: where did colonists get the belief in personal freedom

American Revolution

John Locke 's ( 1632 -- 1704 ) ideas on liberty influenced the political thinking behind the revolution , especially through his indirect influence on English writers such as John Trenchard , Thomas Gordon , and Benjamin Hoadly , whose political ideas in turn had a strong influence on the American revolutionaries . Locke is often referred to as `` the philosopher of the American Revolution '' due to his work in the Social Contract and Natural Rights theories that underpinned the Revolution 's political ideology . Locke 's Two Treatises of Government published in 1689 were especially influential . He argued that all humans were created equally free , and governments therefore needed the `` consent of the governed . '' In late eighteenth - century America , belief was still widespread in `` equality by creation '' and `` rights by creation '' .

Input: what is a change up ball in baseball

Changeup

A changeup is a type of pitch in baseball and fastpitch softball . The changeup is the staple off - speed pitch , usually thrown to look like a fastball but arriving much more slowly to the plate . Its reduced speed coupled with its deceptive delivery is meant to confuse the batter 's timing . It is meant to be thrown the same as a fastball , but farther back in the hand , which makes it release from the hand slower while still retaining the look of a fastball . A changeup is generally thrown to be 8 -- 15 miles per hour slower than a fastball . If thrown correctly , the changeup will confuse the batter because the human eye can not discern that the ball is coming significantly slower until it is around 30 feet from the plate . For example , a batter swinging at the ball as if it were a 90 mph fastball when it is coming in at 75 mph means they are swinging too early to hit the ball well , making the changeup very effective .

Answer:

Input: what is the story of alexander and porus

Porus

Porus ( IPA : ( porus ) ) or Poros ( from Ancient Greek : Πῶρος , Pôros ) , was a king of the Pauravas , whose territory spanned the region between the Hydaspes ( River of Jhelum ) and Acesines ( Chenab River ) , in what is now the Punjabi region of the Indian subcontinent . He is credited to have been a legendary warrior with exceptional skills . Porus fought against Alexander the Great in the Battle of the Hydaspes ( 326 BC ) , thought to be fought at the site of modern - day Mong , Punjab , Pakistan . Though not recorded in any available ancient Indian source , Ancient Greek historians describe the battle and the aftermath of Alexander 's victory . After the defeat and arrest of Porus in the war , Alexander asked Porus how he would like to be treated . Porus , although defeated , being a valiant , proud king , demanded that he be treated like a king . Alexander was reportedly so impressed by his adversary that he not only reinstated him as a satrap of his own kingdom , but also granted him dominion over lands to the south - east extending until the Hyphasis ( Beas ) . Porus reportedly died sometime between 321 and 315 BC .

Input: when are two organisms considered to belong to the same species

Species

In biology , a species is the basic unit of classification and a taxonomic rank , as well as a unit of biodiversity , but it has proven difficult to find a satisfactory definition . Scientists and conservationists need a species definition which allows them to work , regardless of the theoretical difficulties . If as Linnaeus thought , species were fixed , there would be no problem , but evolutionary processes cause species to change continually , and to grade into one another . A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which two individuals can produce fertile offspring , typically by sexual reproduction . While this definition is often adequate , when looked at more closely it is problematic . For example , with hybridisation , in a species complex of hundreds of similar microspecies , or in a ring species , the boundaries between closely related species become unclear . Among organisms that reproduce only asexually , the concept of a reproductive species breaks down , and each clone is potentially a microspecies . Problems also arise when dealing with fossils , since reproduction can not be examined ; the concept of the chronospecies is therefore used in palaeontology . Other ways of defining species include their karyotype , DNA sequence , morphology , behaviour or ecological niche .

Answer: A species is often defined as the largest group of organisms in which two individuals can produce fertile offspring, typically by sexual reproduction.  Other ways of defining species include their karyotype, DNA sequence, morphology, behaviour or ecological niche.

Articles of Confederation

The Articles of Confederation , formally the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union , was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States of America that served as its first constitution . It was approved , after much debate ( between July 1776 and November 1777 ) , by the Second Continental Congress on November 15 , 1777 , and sent to the states for ratification . The Articles of Confederation came into force on March 1 , 1781 , after being ratified by all 13 states . A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence and sovereignty of the states . The federal government received only those powers which the colonies had recognized as belonging to king and parliament .

Input: how do historians believe that the hebrews arrived in egypt

History of the Jews in Egypt

The Book of Genesis and Book of Exodus describe a period of Hebrew servitude in ancient Egypt , during decades of sojourn in Egypt , the escape of well over a million Israelites from the Delta , and the three - month journey through the wilderness to Sinai . The historical evidence does not support this account . Israelites first appear in the archeological record on the Merneptah Stele from between 1208 - 3 BCE at the end of the Bronze Age . A reasonably Bible - friendly interpretation is that they were a federation of Habiru tribes of the hill - country around the Jordan River . Presumably , this federation consolidated into the kingdom of Israel , and Judah split from that , during the dark age that followed the Bronze . The Bronze Age term `` Habiru '' was less specific than the Biblical `` Hebrew '' . The term referred simply to Levantine nomads , of any religion or ethnicity . Mesopotamian , Hittite , Canaanite , and Egyptian sources describe them largely as bandits , mercenaries , and slaves . Certainly , there were some Habiru slaves in ancient Egypt , but native Egyptian kingdoms were not heavily slave - based .

Input: what is plato's analogy of the cave

Allegory of the Cave

Plato has Socrates describe a group of people who have lived chained to the wall of a cave all of their lives , facing a blank wall . The people watch shadows projected on the wall from objects passing in front of a fire behind them , and give names to these shadows . The shadows are the prisoners ' reality . Socrates explains how the philosopher is like a prisoner who is freed from the cave and comes to understand that the shadows on the wall are not reality at all , for he can perceive the true form of reality rather than the manufactured reality that is the shadows seen by the prisoners . The inmates of this place do not even desire to leave their prison , for they know no better life . The prisoners manage to break their bonds one day , and discover that their reality was not what they thought it was . They discovered the sun , which Plato uses as an analogy for the fire that man can not see behind . Like the fire that cast light on the walls of the cave , the human condition is forever bound to the impressions that are received through the senses . Even if these interpretations ( or , in Kantian terminology , intuitions ) are an absurd misrepresentation of reality , we can not somehow break free from the bonds of our human condition -- we can not free ourselves from phenomenal state just as the prisoners could not free themselves from their chains . If , however , we were to miraculously escape our bondage , we would find a world that we could not understand -- the sun is incomprehensible for someone who has never seen it . In other words , we would encounter another `` realm '' , a place incomprehensible because , theoretically , it is the source of a higher reality than the one we have always known ; it is the realm of pure Form , pure fact .

It is also known as a changpao ( chángpáo 長 袍 , `` long robe '' ) or dagua ( 大 褂 dàguà , `` great jacket '' ) . It was often worn by men with a magua or `` riding jacket '' . These types of dress were widely adopted beginning under the Manchu ( Chinese : 滿族 ) rulers of the Qing dynasty ( Chinese : 清朝 ) , who required that men in certain positions wear this style . It took more time for the majority of women to adopt the new style of qipao rather than hanfu ( Chinese : 漢服 ) .

Input: what is meant by the wavelength of uv light

Ultraviolet

Ultraviolet ( UV ) is electromagnetic radiation with a wavelength from 10 nm to 400 nm , shorter than that of visible light but longer than X-rays . UV radiation is present in sunlight constituting about 10 % of the total light output of the Sun . It is also produced by electric arcs and specialized lights , such as mercury - vapor lamps , tanning lamps , and black lights . Although long - wavelength ultraviolet is not considered an ionizing radiation because its photons lack the energy to ionize atoms , it can cause chemical reactions and causes many substances to glow or fluoresce . Consequently , the chemical and biological effects of UV are greater than simple heating effects , and many practical applications of UV radiation derive from its interactions with organic molecules .

Input: difference between dc series motor and universal motor

Universal motor

The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power and uses an electromagnet as its stator to create its magnetic field . It is a commutated series - wound motor where the stator 's field coils are connected in series with the rotor windings through a commutator . It is often referred to as an AC series motor . The universal motor is very similar to a DC series motor in construction , but is modified slightly to allow the motor to operate properly on AC power . This type of electric motor can operate well on AC because the current in both the field coils and the armature ( and the resultant magnetic fields ) will alternate ( reverse polarity ) synchronously with the supply . Hence the resulting mechanical force will occur in a consistent direction of rotation , independent of the direction of applied voltage , but determined by the commutator and polarity of the field coils .

Answer: The universal motor is a type of electric motor that can operate on either AC or DC power.  The universal motor is very similar to a DC series motor in construction, but is modified slightly to allow the motor to operate properly on AC power.

Battle of Zama

Crossing the Alps , Hannibal reached the Italian peninsula in 218 BC and won several major victories against the Roman armies . The Romans failed to defeat him or drive him from Italy , but following Scipio 's decisive victory at the Battle of Ilipa in Spain in 206 BC , Iberia had been secured by the Romans . In 205 BC Scipio returned to Rome , where he was elected consul by unanimous vote . Scipio , now powerful enough , proposed to end the war by directly invading the Carthaginian homeland . The Senate initially opposed this ambitious design of Scipio , persuaded by Quintus Fabius Maximus that the enterprise was far too hazardous . However , Scipio and his supporters eventually convinced the Senate to ratify the plan , and Scipio was given the requisite authority to attempt the invasion .

True (Spandau Ballet song)

It was composed by group leader Gary Kemp who wrote the song at his parents ' house , where he lived at the time . It is a six - minute ( in its original album version ) song that in part pays tribute to the Motown artist Marvin Gaye , who is mentioned in the lyrics , and the sound he helped to establish . The song was recorded before Gaye 's murder a year later . The song was also partly about Kemp 's platonic relationship with Altered Images singer Clare Grogan . Some phrases in the lyrics ( including the much - quoted reference to `` seaside arms '' ) were adapted from Vladimir Nabokov 's novel Lolita , a copy of which Grogan had given Kemp . The song is written in the key of G major . It has a tempo of 98 BPM and a chord progression of G , Em , C / G , Bm . The song changes key when it hits the instrumental break . The instrumental break is in the key of E ♭ major .

Input: where did the rabbit in easter come from

Easter Bunny

The hare was a popular motif in medieval church art . In ancient times , it was widely believed ( as by Pliny , Plutarch , Philostratus , and Aelian ) that the hare was a hermaphrodite . The idea that a hare could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary , with hares sometimes occurring in illuminated manuscripts and Northern European paintings of the Virgin and Christ Child . It may also have been associated with the Holy Trinity , as in the three hares motif . Eggs , like rabbits and hares , are fertility symbols of antiquity . Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring , these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox .

Answer: The idea that a hare could reproduce without loss of virginity led to an association with the Virgin Mary. Since birds lay eggs and rabbits and hares give birth to large litters in the early spring, these became symbols of the rising fertility of the earth at the Vernal Equinox.

Input: what are the nonpolar and polar phases in tlc

Thin-layer chromatography

Separation of compounds is based on the competition of the solute and the mobile phase for binding sites on the stationary phase . For instance , if normal - phase silica gel is used as the stationary phase , it can be considered polar . Given two compounds that differ in polarity , the more polar compound has a stronger interaction with the silica and is , therefore , better able to displace the mobile phase from the available binding sites . As a consequence , the less polar compound moves higher up the plate ( resulting in a higher R value ) . If the mobile phase is changed to a more polar solvent or mixture of solvents , it becomes better at binding to the polar plate and therefore displacing solutes from it , so all compounds on the TLC plate will move higher up the plate . It is commonly said that `` strong '' solvents ( eluents ) push the analyzed compounds up the plate , whereas `` weak '' eluents barely move them . The order of strength / weakness depends on the coating ( stationary phase ) of the TLC plate . For silica gel - coated TLC plates , the eluent strength increases in the following order : perfluoroalkane ( weakest ) , hexane , pentane , carbon tetrachloride , benzene / toluene , dichloromethane , diethyl ether , ethyl acetate , acetonitrile , acetone , 2 - propanol / n - butanol , water , methanol , triethylamine , acetic acid , formic acid ( strongest ) . For C18 - coated plates the order is reverse . In other words , when the stationary phase is polar and the mobile phase is non-polar , the method is normal - phase as opposed to reverse - phase . This means that if a mixture of ethyl acetate and hexane as the mobile phase is used , adding more ethyl acetate results in higher R values for all compounds on the TLC plate . Changing the polarity of the mobile phase will normally not result in reversed order of running of the compounds on the TLC plate . An eluotropic series can be used as a guide in selecting a mobile phase . If a reversed order of running of the compounds is desired , an apolar stationary phase should be used , such as C18 - functionalized silica .

Answer: If normal - phase silica gel is used as the stationary phase , it can be considered polar . When the stationary phase is polar and the mobile phase is non-polar , the method is normal - phase as opposed to reverse - phase .

Input: how did the hundred years war marked the end of the feudal age in europe

Hundred Years' War

The war owes its historical significance to multiple factors . By its end , feudal armies had been largely replaced by professional troops , and aristocratic dominance had yielded to a democratisation of the manpower and weapons of armies . Although primarily a dynastic conflict , the war gave impetus to ideas of French and English nationalism . The wider introduction of weapons and tactics supplanted the feudal armies where heavy cavalry had dominated , and artillery became important . The war precipitated the creation of the first standing armies in Western Europe since the time of the Western Roman Empire and thus helping to change their role in warfare . With respect to the belligerents , in France , civil wars , deadly epidemics , famines , and bandit free - companies of mercenaries reduced the population drastically . English political forces over time came to oppose the costly venture . The dissatisfaction of English nobles , resulting from the loss of their continental landholdings , became a factor leading to the civil wars known as the Wars of the Roses ( 1455 -- 1487 ) .

However , the scene where they drive through the Shell gas station was filmed in Ojai , California on the corner of Ojai and El Paseo . Much of the surrounding scene comes from that immediate vicinity . The scene featuring the racetrack was filmed at Lakewood Speedway at the old Lakewood Fairgrounds on the south side of Atlanta . The roller coaster seen in the movie was the Greyhound . It had not been used for some time and was repainted for the film . It was destroyed in Smokey and the Bandit II and a flashback scene in Part 3 .

Input: where did the word cesarean section come from

Caesarean section

The Roman Lex Regia ( royal law ) , later the Lex Caesarea ( imperial law ) , of Numa Pompilius ( 715 -- 673 BC ) , required the child of a mother dead in childbirth to be cut from her womb . There was a cultural taboo that mothers not be buried pregnant , that may have reflected a way of saving some fetuses . Roman practice requiring a living mother to be in her tenth month of pregnancy before resorting to the procedure , reflecting the knowledge that she could not survive the delivery . Speculation that the Roman dictator Julius Caesar was born by the method now known as C - section is apparently false . Although Caesarean sections were performed in Roman times , no classical source records a mother surviving such a delivery . As late as the 12th century , scholar and physician Maimonides expresses doubt over the possibility of a woman 's surviving this procedure and again falling pregnant . The term has also been explained as deriving from the verb caedere , `` to cut '' , with children delivered this way referred to as caesones . Pliny the Elder refers to a certain Julius Caesar ( an ancestor of the famous Roman statesman ) as ab utero caeso , `` cut from the womb '' giving this as an explanation for the cognomen `` Caesar '' which was then carried by his descendants . Nonetheless , even if the etymological hypothesis linking the caesarean section to Julius Caesar is a false etymology , it has been widely believed . For example , the Oxford English Dictionary defines Caesarean birth as `` the delivery of a child by cutting through the walls of the abdomen when delivery can not take place in the natural way , as was done in the case of Julius Caesar '' . Merriam - Webster 's Collegiate Dictionary ( 11th edition ) leaves room for etymological uncertainty with the phrase , `` from the legendary association of such a delivery with the Roman cognomen Caesar ''

Answer: Speculation that the Roman dictator Julius Caesar was born by the method now known as C - section is apparently false. The term has also been explained as deriving from the verb caedere, ``to cut'', with children delivered this way referred to as caesones.

Input: where is the set of law and order svu located

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

When searching for a place to film the interiors of the show , the producers found that there were no suitable studio spaces available in New York City . As a result , a space was chosen at NBC 's Central Archives building in nearby North Bergen , New Jersey , which had sat empty for some time , and featured air - conditioning , adequate parking , and 53,000 square feet ( 4,900 m ) of stage area . The Archives building was used for police station and courtroom scenes , with various other locations in Hudson County used for other scenes , such as a scene shot at the Meadowlands Parkway in Secaucus in 2010 . The production left New Jersey for New York in 2010 , however , when New Jersey Governor Chris Christie suspended the tax credits for film and television production for the Fiscal Year 2011 to close budget gaps . The show moved into the studio space at Chelsea Piers that had been occupied by the original Law & Order series until its cancellation in May 2010 .
