In Ancient Greek , the name of the city was Ἀθῆναι ( Athēnai , pronounced ( a. thɛ̂ː. nai̯ ) in Classical Attic ) a plural . In earlier Greek , such as Homeric Greek , the name had been current in the singular form though , as Ἀθήνη ( Athēnē ) . It was possibly rendered in the plural later on , like those of Θῆβαι ( Thêbai ) and Μυκῆναι ( Μukênai ) . The root of the word is probably not of Greek or Indo - European origin , and is possibly a remnant of the Pre-Greek substrate of Attica . In antiquity , it was debated whether Athens took its name from its patron goddess Athena ( Attic Ἀθηνᾶ , Athēnā , Ionic Ἀθήνη , Athēnē , and Doric Ἀθάνα , Athānā ) or Athena took her name from the city . Modern scholars now generally agree that the goddess takes her name from the city , because the ending - ene is common in names of locations , but rare for personal names . During the medieval period , the name of the city was rendered once again in the singular as Ἀθήνα . However , after the establishment of the modern Greek state , and partly due to the conservatism of the written language , Ἀθῆναι ( aˈθine ) became again the official name of the city and remained so until the abandonment of Katharevousa in the 1970s , when Ἀθήνα , Athína , became the official name . | who was the city of athens named after | patron goddess Athena |

In ancient many dugouts were made from linden wood , for several reasons . First , was abundant in the Paleolthic after the melting of the Weichselian glaciation and readily available . Secondly it grew to be one of the tallest trees in the forests of the time , making it easier to build longer boats . Linden wood also lends itself well to carving and does n't split or crack easily . It is lighter and therefore boats made from it have a better cargo capacity and are easier to carry , than most other tree types from the European old - growth forests . | what is the advantage of making canoes that are light | easier to carry |

The expression cul - de-sac comes from French , where it originally meant `` bottom of the sack '' . It was first used in English in anatomy ( since 1738 ) . It was used for dead - end streets since 1800 in English ( since the 14th century in French ) . The often heard erroneous folk etymology `` arse / ass ( buttocks ) of the sack '' is based on the modern meaning of cul in French , Catalan , and Occitan , but cul does n't have that meaning in cul - de-sac , which is still used to refer to dead ends in modern French although the terms impasse and voie sans issue are more common in modern French . | where does the term dead end come from | French |
The Berlin Wall ( German : Berliner Mauer ) was a guarded concrete barrier that physically and ideologically divided Berlin from 1961 to 1989 . Constructed by the German Democratic Republic ( GDR , East Germany ) , starting on 13 August 1961 , the Wall completely cut off ( by land ) West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin until government officials opened it in November 1989 . Its demolition officially began on 13 June 1990 and finished in 1992 . The barrier included guard towers placed along large concrete walls , accompanied by a wide area ( later known as the `` death strip '' ) that contained anti-vehicle trenches , `` fakir beds '' and other defenses . The Eastern Bloc portrayed the Wall as protecting its population from fascist elements conspiring to prevent the `` will of the people '' in building a socialist state in East Germany . In practice , the Wall served to prevent the massive emigration and defection that had marked East Germany and the communist Eastern Bloc during the post-World War II period . | when did the berlin wall start to come down | 13 June 1990 |

In 1916 Alice Paul formed the National Woman 's Party ( NWP ) , a militant group focused on the passage of a national suffrage amendment . Over 200 NWP supporters , the Silent Sentinels , were arrested in 1917 while picketing the White House , some of whom went on hunger strike and endured forced feeding after being sent to prison . Under the leadership of Carrie Chapman Catt , the two - million - member NAWSA also made a national suffrage amendment its top priority . After a hard - fought series of votes in the U.S. Congress and in state legislatures , the Nineteenth Amendment became part of the U.S. Constitution on August 26 , 1920 . It states , `` The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex .

Indigenous peoples , also known as first peoples , aboriginal peoples or native peoples , are ethnic groups who are the original inhabitants of a given region , in contrast to groups that have settled , occupied or colonized the area more recently . Groups are usually described as indigenous when they maintain traditions or other aspects of an early culture that is associated with a given region . Not all indigenous peoples share this characteristic , sometimes having adopted substantial elements of a colonising culture , such as dress , religion or language . Indigenous peoples may be settled in a given region ( sedentary ) or exhibit a nomadic lifestyle across a large territory , but they are generally historically associated with a specific territory on which they depend . Indigenous societies are found in every inhabited climate zone and continent of the world . | what are the original inhabitants of a region or country called | Indigenous peoples |

On 23 November 1971 , the Indian Army conventionally penetrated to the eastern fronts and cross the East Pakistan 's borders to join their Bengali nationalist allies . As contrary to 1965 war which had emphasised set - piece battles and slow advances , this time the strategy adopted was a swift , three - pronged assault of nine infantry divisions with attached armoured units and close air support that rapidly converged on Dhaka , the capital of East Pakistan . Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora , the GOC - in - C of the India 's Eastern Command , led the Indian full thrust into East Pakistan and as the Indian Eastern Command attacked the Pakistan Eastern Command , the Indian Air Force rapidly destroyed the small air contingent in East Pakistan and put the Dhaka airfield out of commission . In the meantime , the Indian Navy effectively blockaded East Pakistan . | who was heading indian army 1971 bangladesh war | Lieutenant General Jagjit Singh Aurora |

In the case of Whole Woman 's Health v. Hellerstedt , the most significant abortion rights case before the Supreme Court since Planned Parenthood v. Casey in 1992 , the Supreme Court in a 5 -- 3 decision on June 27 , 2016 , swept away forms of state restrictions on the way abortion clinics can function . The Texas legislature enacted in 2013 restrictions on the delivery of abortions services that created an undue burden for women seeking an abortion by requiring abortion doctors to have difficult - to - obtain `` admitting privileges '' at a local hospital and by requiring clinics to have costly hospital - grade facilities . The Court struck down these two provisions `` facially '' from the law at issue -- that is , the very words of the provisions were invalid , no matter how they might be applied in any practical situation . According to the Supreme Court the task of judging whether a law puts an unconstitutional burden on a woman 's right to abortion belongs with the courts and not the legislatures . | when was the last time roe v wade was challenged | 2016 |

Edward Norton as Bruce Banner / Hulk : A nuclear physicist and biochemist at Culver University who , because of exposure to gamma radiation , transforms into an enormous green humanoid monster when enraged or agitated . David Duchovny was a front - runner for the film before Norton 's casting , while Louis Leterrier 's original choice for the role was Mark Ruffalo , who would later play Banner in the Marvel Cinematic Universe . Gale Anne Hurd recalled Norton 's portrayals of duality in Primal Fear and Fight Club , while Norton reminded Kevin Feige of Bill Bixby , who played Banner in the TV series . Lou Ferrigno , who played the Hulk with Bixby , remarked Norton `` has a similar physique ( and a ) similar personality '' . Norton was a Hulk fan , citing the first comic appearances , the Bixby TV show , and Bruce Jones ' run on the comic , as his favorite depictions of the character . He had expressed interest in the role for the first film . He initially turned down the part , recalling `` there ( was ) the wince factor or the defensive part of you that recoils at what the bad version of what that would be '' , as he felt the previous film `` strayed far afield from a story that was familiar to people , ( ... ) which is a fugitive story '' . When he met Leterrier and Marvel , he liked their vision , and believed they were looking to him to guide the project . Thus , Norton rewrote the script . `` Edward 's script has given Bruce 's story real gravitas , '' Leterrier said . `` Admittedly I 'm not the most adult director , but just because we 're making a superhero movie it does n't have to just appeal to 13 - year - old boys . Ed and I both see superheroes as the new Greek gods . '' Additionally , Lou Ferrigno provides vocal performance as the Hulk . During the 2008 New York Comic Con Leterrier publicly offered Ferrigno the chance to voice the Hulk for the film . This marks the third time Ferrigno portrayed the Hulk , having also voiced the character in the 1996 animated series . Originally , the Hulk 's only line was `` Betty '' at the film 's ending , which would have been his first word . Leterrier was aware that fans wanted him to speak normally , and added `` leave me alone '' and `` Hulk smash ! '' The latter line received cheers during a screening he attended . Ferrigno also has a cameo in the film as a security guard who is bribed by Banner with a pizza . | who played the part of the incredible hulk | Edward Norton |

Traditionally , the Speaker is reckoned as the leader of the majority party in the House , with the Majority Leader as second - in - command . For instance , when the Republicans gained the majority in the House after the 2010 elections , Eric Cantor succeeded Boehner as Majority Leader . Despite this , Cantor and his successor , Kevin McCarthy , have been reckoned as the second - ranking Republicans in the House , since Boehner is still reckoned as the leader of the House Republicans . However , there have been some exceptions . The most recent exception to this rule came when Majority Leader Tom DeLay generally overshadowed Speaker Dennis Hastert from 2003 to 2006 . In contrast , the Minority Leader is the undisputed leader of the minority party . | of the house is chosen from the majority party and leads the house of representatives | the Speaker |
