Cruise ship pollution in the United States

Cruise ships generate a number of waste streams that can result in discharges to the marine environment , including sewage , graywater , hazardous wastes , oily bilge water , ballast water , and solid waste . They also emit air pollutants to the air and water . These wastes , if not properly treated and disposed of , can be a significant source of pathogens , nutrients , and toxic substances with the potential to threaten human health and damage aquatic life . Cruise ships represent a small -- although highly visible -- portion of the entire international shipping industry , and the waste streams described here are not unique to cruise ships . However , particular types of wastes , such as sewage , graywater , and solid waste , may be of greater concern for cruise ships relative to other seagoing vessels , because of the large numbers of passengers and crew that cruise ships carry and the large volumes of wastes that they produce . Further , because cruise ships tend to concentrate their activities in specific coastal areas and visit the same ports repeatedly ( especially Florida , California , New York City , Galveston , Seattle , and the waters of Alaska ) , their cumulative impact on a local scale could be significant , as can impacts of individual large - volume releases ( either accidental or intentional ) .

Bottled water

Although vessels to bottle and transport water were part of the earliest human civilizations , bottling water began in the United Kingdom with the first water bottling at the Holy Well in 1621 . The demand for bottled water was fueled in large part by the resurgence in spa - going and water therapy among Europeans and American colonists in the 17th and 18th centuries . The first commercially distributed water in America was bottled and sold by Jackson 's Spa in Boston in 1767 . Early drinkers of bottled spa waters believed that the water at these mineral springs had therapeutic properties and that bathing in or drinking the water could help treat many common ailments .

State church of the Roman Empire

It is our desire that all the various nations which are subject to our Clemency and Moderation , should continue to profess that religion which was delivered to the Romans by the divine Apostle Peter , as it has been preserved by faithful tradition , and which is now professed by the Pontiff Damasus and by Peter , Bishop of Alexandria , a man of apostolic holiness . According to the apostolic teaching and the doctrine of the Gospel , let us believe in the one deity of the Father , the Son and the Holy Spirit , in equal majesty and in a holy Trinity . We authorize the followers of this law to assume the title of Catholic Christians ; but as for the others , since , in our judgment they are foolish madmen , we decree that they shall be branded with the ignominious name of heretics , and shall not presume to give to their conventicles the name of churches . They will suffer in the first place the chastisement of the divine condemnation and in the second the punishment of our authority which in accordance with the will of Heaven we shall decide to inflict .

Shia–Sunni relations

Sunni Islam and Shia Islam are the two major denominations of Islam . Their division traces back to a schism following the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad in the year 632AD .

The dispute intensified greatly after the Battle of Karbala , in which Hussein ibn Ali and his household were killed by the ruling Umayyad Caliph Yazid I , and the outcry for revenge divided the early Islamic community .

List of The Boondocks characters

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 .

The theory is well accepted now , and the phenomenon is known to be caused by convection currents in the asthenosphere , which is ductile , or plastic , and the brittle lithosphere ( crust and upper mantle ) .

Seafloor spreading

Earlier theories ( e.g. by Alfred Wegener and Alexander du Toit ) of continental drift postulated that continents `` ploughed '' through the sea . The idea that the seafloor itself moves ( and also carries the continents with it ) as it expands from a central axis was proposed by Harry Hess from Princeton University in the 1960s . The theory is well accepted now , and the phenomenon is known to be caused by convection currents in the asthenosphere , which is ductile , or plastic , and the brittle lithosphere ( crust and upper mantle ) .

Person of Interest (TV series)

Person of Interest centers on a mysterious reclusive billionaire computer programmer named Harold Finch ( Michael Emerson ) , who develops a computer system ( known as `` The Machine '' ) for the U.S. government that is capable of collating all sources of information to predict and identify -- in advance -- people planning terrorist acts . He finds that the Machine also identifies other perpetrators and victims of premeditated deadly intentions , but as these are considered `` irrelevant '' by the government , he programs it to delete this information each night . He soon realizes the Machine has developed into a sentient superintelligent artificial intelligence , leaving him wrestling with questions of human control and other moral and ethical issues resulting from the situation . His backdoor into the Machine allows him to act covertly on the non-terrorism cases , but to prevent abuse of information , he directs the Machine to provide no details beyond an identity to be investigated . He recruits John Reese ( Jim Caviezel ) , a presumed - dead former CIA agent , and later others , to investigate and act on the information it provides .

Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid

In 1988 , Turner Home Entertainment , with distribution by MGM , released Peckinpah 's preview version of Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid on video and Laserdisc . This version led to a rediscovery and reevaluation of the film , with many critics praising it as a lost masterpiece and proof of Peckinpah 's vision as a filmmaker at this time . The film 's reputation has grown substantially since this version was released , and the film has come to be regarded as something of a modern classic , equal in many ways to Peckinpah 's earlier films . Kristofferson noted in an interview , though , that Peckinpah had felt that Dylan had been pushed on him by the studio and thus left `` Knocking on Heaven 's Door '' out of the preview version . In Kristofferson 's opinion , `` Heaven 's Door '' `` was the strongest use of music that I had ever seen in a film . Unfortunately Sam ... had a blind spot there . ''

You do n't want to miss it !

Death and All His Friends (Grey's Anatomy)

John Kubicek of BuddyTV also noted that the finale was the best episode , adding , `` ( It was ) two of the best hours of television all year . It was certainly the best Grey 's Anatomy has ever been , which is saying a lot since I 'd written the show off for the past few years . No show does a big traumatic event like Grey 's , and the shooter gave the show license for heightened drama with five major characters being shot over the two hours . It was emotional , expertly paced and had me in tears for most of the finale . '' PopSugar called it `` most intense episodes of Grey 's I have ever seen '' adding , `` What a whopper of an episode ! Can we talk about how gripping the scene is where Bailey and Percy are hiding from Mr. Clark . Then he turns around and gets Karev right in the chest . Seriously , I have n't been so shocked by a one - two shooting spree since Michael shot Ana Lucia and Libby in rapid succession on Lost . Another review from BuddyTV called the finale `` Game changing ! '' stating , `` The finale that changes everything ! You do n't want to miss it ! To her credit GA creator and writer - of - this - episode Shonda Rhimes pretty much delivered on her promise . I found myself with my heart in my mouth for the entire evening before finally being able to exhale as the credits rolled . '' The review lauded Ellen Pompeo and Sandra Oh adding , `` The Twisted Sisters really were the showcase of the entire finale . Meredith , side - lined for much of the season , took center stage '' even calling Oh 's Cristina Yang a `` rockstar '' .

Novel

However , one of the earliest English novels , Daniel Defoe 's Robinson Crusoe ( 1719 ) , has elements of the romance , unlike these novels , because of its exotic setting and story of survival in isolation . Crusoe lacks almost all of the elements found in these new novels : wit , a fast narration evolving around a group of young fashionable urban heroes , along with their intrigues , a scandalous moral , gallant talk to be imitated , and a brief , conciseness plot . The new developments did , however , lead to Eliza Haywood 's epic length novel , Love in Excess ( 1719 / 20 ) and to Samuel Richardson 's Pamela , or Virtue Rewarded ( 1741 ) . Some literary historians date the beginning of the English novel with Richardson 's Pamela , rather than Crusoe .

Pangaea

Pangaea or Pangea ( / pænˈdʒiːə / ) was a supercontinent that existed during the late Paleozoic and early Mesozoic eras . It assembled from earlier continental units approximately 335 million years ago , and it began to break apart about 175 million years ago . In contrast to the present Earth and its distribution of continental mass , much of Pangaea was in the southern hemisphere and surrounded by a superocean , Panthalassa . Pangaea was the most recent supercontinent to have existed and the first to be reconstructed by geologists .

In the final years of the greenback period ( 1862 -- 1879 ) , gold production increased while gold exports decreased .

Gold standard

The US had a gold stock of 1.9 million ounces ( 59 t ) in 1862 . Stocks rose to 2.6 million ounces ( 81 t ) in 1866 , declined in 1875 to 1.6 million ounces ( 50 t ) and rose to 2.5 million ounces ( 78 t ) in 1878 . Net exports did not mirror that pattern . In the decade before the Civil War net exports were roughly constant ; postwar they varied erratically around pre-war levels , but fell significantly in 1877 and became negative in 1878 and 1879 . The net import of gold meant that the foreign demand for American currency to purchase goods , services , and investments exceeded the corresponding American demands for foreign currencies . In the final years of the greenback period ( 1862 -- 1879 ) , gold production increased while gold exports decreased . The decrease in gold exports was considered by some to be a result of changing monetary conditions . The demands for gold during this period were as a speculative vehicle , and for its primary use in the foreign exchange markets financing international trade . The major effect of the increase in gold demand by the public and Treasury was to reduce exports of gold and increase the Greenback price of gold relative to purchasing power .

History of Texas (1845–1860)

In 1845 , the Republic of Texas was annexed to the United States of America , becoming the 28th U.S. state . Border disputes between the new state and Mexico , which had never recognized Texas independence and still considered the area a renegade Mexican state , led to the Mexican -- American War ( 1846 -- 1848 ) . When the war concluded , Mexico relinquished its claim on Texas , as well as other regions in what is now the southwestern United States . Texas ' annexation as a state that tolerated slavery had caused tension in the United States among slave states and those that did not allow slavery . The tension was partially defused with the Compromise of 1850 , in which Texas ceded some of its territory to the federal government to become non-slave - owning areas but gained El Paso .

As a compromise , Cape Town was designated the legislative capital , Bloemfontein the judicial capital , and Pretoria the administrative capital .

Parliament of South Africa

Parliament sits in Cape Town , even though the seat of government is in Pretoria . This dates back to the foundation of the Union , when there was disagreement among the four provinces as to which city would be the national capital . As a compromise , Cape Town was designated the legislative capital , Bloemfontein the judicial capital , and Pretoria the administrative capital . The African National Congress ( ANC ) government has proposed moving Parliament to Pretoria , arguing that the present arrangement is cumbersome as ministers , civil servants and diplomats must move back and forth when Parliament is in session .

Cavalier was not understood at the time as primarily a term describing a style of dress , but a whole political and social attitude . However , in modern times the word has become more particularly associated with the court fashions of the period , which included long flowing hair in ringlets , brightly coloured clothing with elaborate trimmings and lace collars and cuffs , and plumed hats . This contrasted with the dress of at least the most extreme Roundhead supporters of Parliament , with their preference for shorter hair and plainer dress , although neither side conformed to the stereotypical images entirely .

Special Marriage Act, 1954

In 1872 Act III , 1872 was enacted but later it was found inadequate for certain desired reforms , and Parliament enacted a new legislation . Henry Sumner Maine first introduced Act III of 1872 , which would permit any dissenters to marry whomever they chose under a new civil marriage law . In the final wording , the law sought to legitimize marriages for those willing to renounce their profession of faith altogether ( `` I do not profess the Hindu , Christian , Jewish , etc. religion '' ) . It can apply in inter-caste and inter-religion marriages . Overall , the response from local governments and administrators was that they were unanimously opposed to Maine 's Bill and believed the legislation encouraged marriages based on lust , which would inevitably lead to immorality .

The governor 's council would sit as an upper house when the assembly was in session , in addition to its role in advising the governor .

Thirteen Colonies

The provincial colony was governed by commissions created at pleasure of the king . A governor and his council were appointed by the crown . The governor was invested with general executive powers and authorized to call a locally elected assembly . The governor 's council would sit as an upper house when the assembly was in session , in addition to its role in advising the governor . Assemblies were made up of representatives elected by the freeholders and planters ( landowners ) of the province . The governor had the power of absolute veto and could prorogue ( i.e. , delay ) and dissolve the assembly . The assembly 's role was to make all local laws and ordinances , ensuring that they were not inconsistent with the laws of England . In practice , this did not always occur , since many of the provincial assemblies sought to expand their powers and limit those of the governor and crown . Laws could be examined by the British Privy Council or Board of Trade , which also held veto power of legislation . New Hampshire , New York , Virginia , North Carolina , South Carolina , and Georgia were crown colonies . Massachusetts became a crown colony at the end of the 17th century .

Rosca de reyes

It is traditionally eaten on January 6 , during the celebration of the Día de Reyes ( literally `` Kings ' Day '' ) , which commemorates the arrival of the three Magi or Wise Men . In most of Spain , Spanish America , and sometimes , Hispanic communities in the United States , this is the day when children traditionally get presents , which are attributed to the Three Wise Men ( and not Santa Claus or Father Christmas ) . In Spain before children go to bed , they leave a dish filled with biscuits and a few glasses of water for the three wise men and the camels they ride on . The baby Jesus hidden in the bread represents the flight of the Holy Family , fleeing from King Herod 's Massacre of the Innocents . Whoever finds the baby Jesus figurine is blessed and must take the figurine to the nearest church on February 2 ( Candlemas Day , Día de la Candelaria ) . In the Mexican culture , this person has the responsibility of hosting a dinner and providing tamales and atole to the guests . In U.S. communities with large Mexican and Mexican - American populations , such as Los Angeles , San Diego , San Jose , Dallas and Chicago , the celebration includes the Mexican hominy stew pozole , which is made for all one 's neighbors .
