Hair cells are the sensory receptors of both the auditory system and the vestibular system in the ears of all vertebrates . Through mechanotransduction , hair cells detect movement in their environment . In mammals , the auditory hair cells are located within the spiral organ of Corti on the thin basilar membrane in the cochlea of the inner ear . They derive their name from the tufts of stereocilia called hair bundles that protrude from the apical surface of the cell into the fluid - filled cochlear duct . Mammalian cochlear hair cells are of two anatomically and functionally distinct types , known as outer , and inner hair cells . Damage to these hair cells results in decreased hearing sensitivity , and because the inner ear hair cells can not regenerate , this damage is permanent . However , other organisms , such as the frequently studied zebrafish , and birds have hair cells that can regenerate . The human cochlea contains on the order of 3,500 inner hair cells and 12,000 outer hair cells at birth . | what type of receptors are in the ear | the auditory system |

To prevent one branch from becoming supreme , protect the `` opulent minority '' from the majority , and to induce the branches to cooperate , government systems that employ a separation of powers need a way to balance each of the branches . Typically this was accomplished through a system of `` checks and balances '' , the origin of which , like separation of powers itself , is specifically credited to Montesquieu . Checks and balances allow for a system - based regulation that allows one branch to limit another , such as the power of the United States Congress to alter the composition and jurisdiction of the federal courts . Both bipartite and tripartite governmental systems apply the principles of the separation of powers to allow for the branches represented by the separate powers to hold each other reciprocally responsible to the assertion of powers as apportioned by law . The following example of the separation of powers and their mutual checks and balances for the experience of the United States Constitution is presented as illustrative of the general principles applied in similar forms of government as well . | who came up with the 3 branches of government | Montesquieu |

The dog was the first species to be domesticated and has been selectively bred over millennia for various behaviors , sensory capabilities , and physical attributes . | the taxonomic name canis familiaris is an example of | domestic dog |
Education did ultimately continue , and was centred in the monasteries and cathedrals . A `` Renaissance '' of classical education would appear in Carolingian Empire in the 8th century . In the Eastern Roman Empire ( Byzantium ) , learning ( in the sense of formal education involving literature ) was maintained at a higher level than in the West . The classical education system , which would persist for hundreds of years , emphasized grammar , Latin , Greek , and rhetoric . Pupils read and reread classic works and wrote essays imitating their style . By the 4th century , this education system was Christianized . In De Doctrina Christiana ( started 396 , completed 426 ) , Augustine explained how classical education fits into the Christian worldview : Christianity is a religion of the book , so Christians must be literate . Tertullian was more skeptical of the value of classical learning , asking `` What indeed has Athens to do with Jerusalem ?

A period of dual power ensued , during which the Provisional Government held state power while the national network of soviets , led by socialists , had the allegiance of the lower classes and , increasingly , the left - leaning urban middle class . During this chaotic period there were frequent mutinies , protests and many strikes . Many socialist political organizations were engaged in daily struggle and vied for influence within the Duma and the soviets , central among which were the Bolsheviks ( `` Ones of the Majority '' ) led by Vladimir Lenin who campaigned for an immediate end to the war , land to the peasants , and bread to the workers . When the Provisional Government chose to continue fighting the war with Germany , the Bolsheviks and other socialist factions were able to exploit virtually universal disdain towards the war effort as justification to advance the revolution further . The Bolsheviks turned workers ' militias under their control into the Red Guards ( later the Red Army ) over which they exerted substantial control . | who was the leader of the bolsheviks in 1917 during the november revolution | Vladimir Lenin |

The human brain is the central organ of the human nervous system , and with the spinal cord makes up the central nervous system . The brain consists of the cerebrum , the brainstem and the cerebellum . It controls most of the activities of the body , processing , integrating , and coordinating the information it receives from the sense organs , and making decisions as to the instructions sent to the rest of the body . The brain is contained in , and protected by , the skull bones of the head . The cerebrum is the largest part of the human brain . It is divided into two cerebral hemispheres . The cerebral cortex is an outer layer of grey matter , covering the core of white matter . The cortex is split into the neocortex and the much smaller allocortex . The neocortex is made up of six neuronal layers , while the allocortex has three or four . Each hemisphere is conventionally divided into four lobes -- the frontal , temporal , parietal , and occipital lobes . The frontal lobe is associated with executive functions including self - control , planning , reasoning , and abstract thought , while the occipital lobe is dedicated to vision . Within each lobe , cortical areas are associated with specific functions , such as the sensory , motor and association regions . Although the left and right hemispheres are broadly similar in shape and function , some functions are associated with one side , such as language in the left and visual - spatial ability in the right . The hemispheres are connected by nerve tracts , the largest being the corpus callosum . | where is the brain located in the skull | skull bones of the head . |
Under JKLF 's leadership on January 21 - 23 large scale protests were organised in valley . As a response to this largely explosive situation paramilitary units of BSF and CRPF were called . These units were used by the government to combat Maoist insurgency and the North - Eastern insurgency . The challenge to them in this situation was not posed by armed insurgents but by the stone pelters . Their inexperience caused atleast 50 casualties in Gawkadal massacre . In this incident the underground militant movement was transformed into a mass struggle . To curb the situation AFSPA ( Armed Forces Special Powers Act ) was imposed on Kashmir in September 1990 to supress the insurgency by giving armed forces the powers to kill and arrest without warrant to maintain public order . During this time the dominant tactic involved killing of a prominent figure in a public gathering to push forces into action and the public prevented them from capturing these insurgents . This sprouting of sympathisers in Kashmir led to the hard - line approach of Indian army . | what force was raised in 1990 to deal with insurgency in kashmir | Armed Forces Special Powers Act |

The idea of purgatory has roots that date back into antiquity . A sort of proto - purgatory called the `` celestial Hades '' appears in the writings of Plato and Heraclides Ponticus and in many other pagan writers . This concept is distinguished from the Hades of the underworld described in the works of Homer and Hesiod . In contrast , the celestial Hades was understood as an intermediary place where souls spent an undetermined time after death before either moving on to a higher level of existence or being reincarnated back on earth . Its exact location varied from author to author . Heraclides of Pontus thought it was in the Milky Way ; the Academicians , the Stoics , Cicero , Virgil , Plutarch , the Hermetical writings situated it between the Moon and the Earth or around the Moon ; while Numenius and the Latin Neoplatonists thought it was located between the sphere of the fixed stars and the Earth . | where does the idea of purgatory come from | antiquity |

Rhetoric is the art of discourse , wherein a writer or speaker strives to inform , persuade , or motivate particular audiences in specific situations . It can also be in a visual form . As a subject of formal study and a productive civic practice , rhetoric has played a central role in the European tradition . Its best known definition comes from Aristotle , who considers it a counterpart of both logic and politics , and calls it `` the faculty of observing in any given case the available means of persuasion . '' Rhetoric typically provides heuristics for understanding , discovering , and developing arguments for particular situations , such as Aristotle 's three persuasive audience appeals , logos , pathos , and ethos . The five canons of rhetoric , which trace the traditional tasks in designing a persuasive speech , were first codified in classical Rome : invention , arrangement , style , memory , and delivery . Along with grammar and logic ( or dialectic -- see Martianus Capella ) , rhetoric is one of the three ancient arts of discourse . | who created the terms for the rhetorical appeals | Aristotle |

The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which nitrogen is converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among the atmosphere , terrestrial , and marine ecosystems . The conversion of nitrogen can be carried out through both biological and physical processes . Important processes in the nitrogen cycle include fixation , ammonification , nitrification , and denitrification . The majority of Earth 's atmosphere ( 78 % ) is nitrogen , making it the largest source of nitrogen . However , atmospheric nitrogen has limited availability for biological use , leading to a scarcity of usable nitrogen in many types of ecosystems . The nitrogen cycle is of particular interest to ecologists because nitrogen availability can affect the rate of key ecosystem processes , including primary production and decomposition . Human activities such as fossil fuel combustion , use of artificial nitrogen fertilizers , and release of nitrogen in wastewater have dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle . | what process releases nitrogen gas into the atmosphere | The nitrogen cycle |
Huey Freeman ( voiced by Regina King ) is a young leftist radical Black revolutionary and retired domestic terrorist . He is a practicing and near master practitioner of Chinese martial arts , as seen in the episodes `` Let 's Nab Oprah '' , `` Attack of the Killer Kung Fu Wolf Bitch '' , `` Stinkmeaner 3 : The Hateocracy '' , and `` ... Or Die Trying '' . He maintains an austere , yet strangely loving relationship with his brother Riley , and has shown the willingness to go out of his way to prevent his brother from succumbing to bad influences ( occasionally giving him some `` tough love '' ) . Over the course of the comic strip and television series , Huey retains a sober demeanor , tending not to let his countenance relay his mood . During most episodes , Huey takes on the role of narrator , and it is often only through his narration that his thoughts and emotions are revealed . In the comic strip , Huey 's best friend was Michael Caesar , who effectively balanced out Huey 's pessimistic world outlook with his upbeat personality and temperament . The role he played in Huey 's life has been taken up by his neighbor Jazmine Dubois in the television series . Unlike Caesar , Jazmine tries to balance Huey 's demeanour with a childlike , naive innocence , which often leads to Huey having to resolve a situation where Jazmine is being taken advantage of . | who is huey's voice in the boondocks | Regina King |

The sarus crane ( Antigone antigone ) is a large non-migratory crane found in parts of the Indian Subcontinent , Southeast Asia and Australia . The tallest of the flying birds , standing at a height of up to 1.8 m ( 5 ft 11 in ) , they are conspicuous and iconic species of open wetlands . The sarus crane is easily distinguished from other cranes in the region by the overall grey colour and the contrasting red head and upper neck . They forage on marshes and shallow wetlands for roots , tubers , insects , crustaceans and small vertebrate prey . Like other cranes , they form long - lasting pair - bonds and maintain territories within which they perform territorial and courtship displays that include loud trumpeting , leaps and dance - like movements . In India they are considered symbols of marital fidelity , believed to mate for life and pine the loss of their mates even to the point of starving to death . The main breeding season is during the rainy season , when the pair builds an enormous nest `` island '' , a circular platform of reeds and grasses nearly two metres in diameter and high enough to stay above the shallow water surrounding it . Sarus crane numbers have declined greatly in the last century and it has been suggested that the current population is a tenth or less ( perhaps 2.5 % ) of the numbers that existed in the 1850s . The stronghold of the species is in India , where it is traditionally revered and lives in agricultural lands in close proximity to humans . Elsewhere , the species has been extirpated in many parts of its former range . | which is the tallest flying bird in the world known to mate with single partner for life | sarus crane |

It is said that the town gets its name from the phrase `` dig - boy - dig , '' which is what the English told the labourers as they dug for crude oil . The town 's history begins in 1867 when a small group of men from the Assam Railway and Trading Co. found their elephants ' legs soaked in black mud , that smelt somewhat like oil . The men began exploring more , and in 1889 , the English started a small oil installation . India ( and Asia ) obtained its first refinery in Digboi in the year 1901 . Assam Oil Company was formed in 1899 to look after the running of the oil business in this area . The Digboi oil field produced close to 7,000 barrels per day ( 1,100 m / d ) of crude oil at its peak , which was during World War II . The field was pushed to produce the maximum amount of oil with little regard to reservoir management ; as a result , production started to drop almost immediately after the war . The current production from the Digboi fields is about 240 barrels per day ( 38 m / d ) . Over 1,000 wells have been drilled at Digboi -- the first well in 1889 had stuck oil at 178 feet ( 54 m ) . In 1989 , the Department of Posts , India came out with a stamp commemorating 100 years of the Digboi fields . | who discovered the occurrence of oil on assam | a small group of men from the Assam Railway and Trading Co. |
