Quantum gravity is an area of research in physics. Right now, physics can describe gravity of real-life-sized objects using general relativity. Physicists can also describe the universe on a microscopic scale with quantum mechanics. The goal of quantum gravity is to develop a theory that contains both general relativity and quantum mechanics. However, combining the theories of the big and the small is very difficult in practice.
Physicists are working on several ways to write down a theory of quantum gravity. One approach is to search for a unified field theory. Physicists also try to develop theories at an even more fundamental level, like string theory, loop quantum gravity, or other methods, to find out why our current theories of gravity and quantum mechanics cannot be combined.

de la patria os convoca la lid:
libertad: es el eco de alarma,
El cadalso o la antigua cadena,
Dulce patria, recibe los votos
Habituarnos, quisieron tres siglos
que, al sonar de sus propias cadenas
Pero el fuerte clamor de la patria,
y las voces de la independencia
En sus ojos hermosos, la patria,
y, observando sus altos derechos,
De virtud y justicia rodeada,
que, con sangre de Arauco, ha firmado
Los tiranos, en rabia, encendidos
y, tocando de cerca su fin,
aunque en vano se halaga en destruir.
Ciudadanos: mirad en el campo
que perezca ese cruel, que el sepulcro
que, el eterno quiso bendecir,
sirven hoy de sepulcro y de honor,
que, os reclamen venganza, chilenos,
y, en venganza a la guerra acudid.
De Lautaro, Colocolo y Rengo,
por la patria, nosotros peleamos
nuestra vida lealtad y honor.
los espera para combatir.
por el norte: un inmenso desierto
Ved la insignia con que, en Chacabuco,
y el augusto tricolor que, en Maipo,
Ciudadanos, la gloria presida,
Venturosas, mil veces, las vidas
si quedare un tirano, su sangre
Citizens: sacred love
of the homeland summons you the lid:
freedom: it is the echo of alarm, the motto: succeed or die.
The scaffold or the ancient chain,
presents the superb Spanish:
pull out the dagger from the tyrant,
break that fierce neck.
Sweet Homeland, receive the vows
That Chile gave you on your altars
That, you be either the tomb of the free,
Or a refuge from oppression.
Habituate us, they wanted three centuries
from the slave, to the unhappy fate
that, at the sound of their own chains
he learns to sing more than to moan.
But the loud cry of the homeland,
that awful noise silenced
and the voices of independence
penetrated to the heart.
In her beautiful eyes, the homeland,
new lights begin to feel
and, observing the high rights of her,
she has ignited in manly ardor.
Of virtue and justice surrounded,
to the peoples of the world he announced:
that, with Arauco's blood, he has signed
the great emancipation card.
The tyrants, in rage, turned on and, close to its end,
they displayed helpless fury,
though in vain he flattered himself in destroying.
Citizens: look in the field
the corpse of the vile invader,
may that cruel perish, may the grave
so far to the cradle he sought.
See those valleys too, Chileans
that the eternal wanted to bless,
and in which nature laughs,
though marred by the vile despot.
To the friend and the dearest debtor,
they serve today as a grave and honor,
but the hero's blood is fertile,
and in every man there is an avenger.
Of the deep silence in which they inhabit
those illustrious men, hear
Let them claim revenge on you, Chileans,
and, in revenge to the war go.
From Lautaro, Colocolo and Rengo,
revive the native courage,
and pledge your courage in the beasts,
that Spain, to extinguish us, commanded.
Those monsters that carry with them
the infamous and servile character,
How can they ever compare
with the heroes of the fifth of April?
They serve the same tyrant
that, his law and his blood mocked...
for the country, we fight
our life loyalty and honor.
By sea and land they threaten
the henchmen of the vile despot,
but all nature
awaits you to fight.
The Pacific, to the south and west,
to the east: the Andes and the sun,
to the north: an immense desert
and the center: freedom and union.
See the insignia with which, in Chacabuco,
you knew how to surrender the intruder,
and the august tricolor that, in Maipo,
on a day of triumph he gave us a thousand.
See him now, dominating an ocean
and, flaming over the fierce lion,
shudders at the sight of him, the Iberian,
our breasts inflame the courage.
Citizens, glory presides,
of the homeland, the happy destiny,
and may, future ages,
their parents, thus bless. Adventurous a thousand times lives
with which Chile, its happiness strengthened...
if I remain a tyrant, his blood
of the heroes write the blazon.

The creation of ancient parishes was linked to the manorial system. The parishes often shared the same boundaries as the manor of the local lord. At first the manor was the main unit of local administration and justice in the early rural economy. Eventually the church replaced the manor court as the rural administrative centre and levied a local tax on produce known as a tithe. Responsibility for things such as relief of the poor passed from the Lord of the Manor to the church, but in practice it was administered by monasteries. After the dissolution of the monasteries, the power to charge (levy) a rate to fund relief of the poor was given to the parish authorities by the 1601 Act for the Relief of the Poor.

Denial Bay is the name for both a small bay on the coast of South Australia, and a small fishing town built at the bay. The bay was named by explorer Matthew Flinders on 7 February 1802.

The town was known as Mac's Town, and in 1910 the government officially named it McKenzie. In 1940 it was named Denial Bay.

Early in the Vietnam War, the main gun used by American soldiers was the M14. Many soldiers complained that the 7.62mm NATO round used by the M14 was too heavy and that the gun kicked back too hard to shoot accurately when shooting in full-automatic fire. To solve this problem, the US military decided replace the M14 and the 7.62mm NATO by creating a new rifle that would shoot lighter bullets with less kickback. That gun would be the M16A1, the first standard issue gun to fire the 5.56mm NATO bullet.
Guns that use the 5.56 include the M16, the M4 carbine, the AR-15, the FAMAS, the G36, the SCAR-L, and the M249 light machine gun.

About 40 million years ago, the simians separated into the groups: the Platyrrhini (New World monkeys) and Catarrhini (apes and Old World monkeys). The key question is how did the early monkeys get to the Americas? There is no evidence for either of the two possible routes. Route one is across the then less wide Atlantic. Route two is across Asia, across the Bering Strait, and down through North America.
There are some big differences between the two groups of monkeys. New World monkeys have flatter noses with nostrils facing to the side. Most do not have full colour vision, they have a different dental formula, many form monogamous pair bonds, with paternal care for the young, mostly, twin births are common, and their thumbs are not opposable. The Atelidae family have long tails that can grip to things.
Catarrhini is one of the two subdivisions of the higher primates (the other is the New World monkeys). Catarrhines include the Old World monkeys and the apes. Apes are further divided into the lesser apes or gibbons and the great apes, consisting of the orangutans, gorillas, chimpanzees, bonobos and humans. They are all native to Africa and Asia.
The simians (infraorder Simiiformes) are the "higher primates". Familiar to most people are the Old World monkeys and apes, including humans and the New World monkeys. Simians tend to be larger than the "lower primates" or prosimians.
The simians are sister to the tarsiers: together they make up the haplorhines. The radiation occurred about 60 million years ago during the Cenozoic era.
40 million years ago, simians from Afro-Arabia colonized South America (by what route is not known). This gave rise to the New World monkeys. The remaining simians (catarrhines) split 25 million years ago into Old World monkeys and apes.

A Milankovich cycle is any slow but regular change in the Earth's orbit around the Sun, and the tilt of the Earth's axis.
Precession is the wobble of the Earth's axis. This gyroscopic motion is due to the tidal forces exerted by the Sun and the Moon on the solid Earth, which has the shape of an oblate spheroid rather than a sphere. The Sun and Moon contribute roughly equally to this effect. Its period is about 26,000 years.
The inclination of Earth's orbit drifts up and down relative to its present orbit with a period of about 70,000 years. Milankovitch did not study this three-dimensional movement. This movement is known as 'precession of the ecliptic' or 'planetary precession'.
