For example , a team that is $8 million over the tax threshold pays $1.50 for each of its first $5 million over the tax threshold , and $1.75 per dollar for the remaining $3 million .

Salary cap

Substantial changes were made in 2011 to the luxury tax regime . The dollar - for - dollar tax provisions of the 2005 CBA remained in effect through the 2012 -- 13 season . Starting in 2013 -- 14 , the tax changed to an incremental system . Tax is now assessed at different levels based on the amount that a team is over the tax threshold , which remains at a level above the actual cap . The scheme is not cumulative -- each level of tax applies only to amounts over that level 's threshold . For example , a team that is $8 million over the tax threshold pays $1.50 for each of its first $5 million over the tax threshold , and $1.75 per dollar for the remaining $3 million . In addition , `` repeat offenders '' , subject to additional tax penalties , are defined as teams that paid tax in four of the five previous seasons . As in the previous CBA , the tax revenue is divided among teams with lower payrolls . However , under the new scheme , no more than 50 % of the total tax revenue can go exclusively to teams that did not go over the cap ; the use of the remaining 50 % was not specified in the new agreement .

The Spanish -- American War had broken out and many leaders wanted control of Pearl Harbor to help the United States to become a Pacific power and protect the West Coast .

History of Hawaii

In March 1897 , William McKinley , a Republican expansionist , succeeded Democrat Grover Cleveland as U.S. President . He prepared a treaty of annexation but it lacked the needed 2 / 3 majority in the Senate given Democratic opposition . A joint resolution , which does not have the power to annex , written by Republican Congressman Francis G. Newlands to annex Hawaii passed both the House and Senate ; it needed only majority support . The Spanish -- American War had broken out and many leaders wanted control of Pearl Harbor to help the United States to become a Pacific power and protect the West Coast . In 1897 Japan sent warships to Hawaii to oppose annexation . The possibility of invasion and annexation by Japan made the decision even more urgent .

New England Patriots strategy

When Don Coryell was the head coach of the San Diego Chargers , his teams led the NFL in passing for 6 straight years from 1978 - 1983 , and again in 1985 . Coryell 's teams were anchored by the Hall of Fame trio of QB Dan Fouts , WR Charlie Joiner and TE Kellen Winslow . The Air Coryell offense was used successfully by several other coaches . Its history includes Jimmy Johnson 's tenure as head coach of the Dallas Cowboys . During his time in Dallas , Johnson won 2 Super Bowls , and his Cowboys teams featured 3 Hall of Fame players : QB Troy Aikman , RB Emmitt Smith , and WR Michael Irvin . Johnson 's offensive coordinator , Norv Turner , also utilized the Air Coryell offense during his time as an NFL head coach . After 2 subpar stints leading the Washington Redskins ( 1994 - 2000 ) and the Oakland Raiders ( 2004 - 2005 ) , Turner was able to successfully implement the system when he served as head coach of the San Diego Chargers from 2007 - 2012 .

Pilgrims (Plymouth Colony)

The pilgrims moved to the Netherlands in about 1607 . They lived in Leiden , Holland , a city of 100,000 inhabitants , residing in small houses behind the `` Kloksteeg '' opposite the Pieterskerk . The success of the congregation in Leiden was mixed . Leiden was a thriving industrial center , and many members were well able to support themselves working at Leiden University or in the textile , printing , and brewing trades . Others were less able to bring in sufficient income , hampered by their rural backgrounds and the language barrier ; for those , accommodations were made on an estate bought by Robinson and three partners .

Along with the sun god the dead king had to travel through the Kingdom of Osiris , the Duat , using the special knowledge he was supposed to possess , which was recorded in the Coffin Texts , that served as a guide to the hereafter not just for the king but for all deceased .

Duat

Each night through the Duat the sun god Ra travelled , signifying revivification as the main goal of the dead . Ra travelled under the world upon his Atet barge from west to east , and was transformed from its aged Atum form into Khepri , the new dawning sun . The dead king , worshiped as a god , was also central to the mythology surrounding the concept of Duat , often depicted as being one with Ra . Along with the sun god the dead king had to travel through the Kingdom of Osiris , the Duat , using the special knowledge he was supposed to possess , which was recorded in the Coffin Texts , that served as a guide to the hereafter not just for the king but for all deceased . According to the Amduat , the underworld consists of twelve regions signifying the twelve hours of the sun god 's journey through it , battling Apep in order to bring order back to the earth in the morning ; as his rays illuminated the Duat throughout the journey , they revived the dead who occupied the underworld and let them enjoy life after death in that hour of the night when they were in the presence of the sun god , after which they went back to their sleep waiting for the god 's return the following night .

Dubai lies directly within the Arabian Desert . However , the topography of Dubai is significantly different from that of the southern portion of the UAE in that much of Dubai 's landscape is highlighted by sandy desert patterns , while gravel deserts dominate much of the southern region of the country . The sand consists mostly of crushed shell and coral and is fine , clean and white . East of the city , the salt - crusted coastal plains , known as sabkha , give way to a north - south running line of dunes . Farther east , the dunes grow larger and are tinged red with iron oxide .

War and Peace

The standard Russian text of War and Peace is divided into four books ( comprising fifteen parts ) and an epilogue in two parts . Roughly the first half is concerned strictly with the fictional characters , whereas the latter parts , as well as the second part of the epilogue , increasingly consist of essays about the nature of war , power , history , and historiography . Tolstoy interspersed these essays into the story in a way that defies previous fictional convention . Certain abridged versions remove these essays entirely , while others , published even during Tolstoy 's life , simply moved these essays into an appendix .

However , the $5 million per 30 seconds appears to have become a soft cap , as for the third year in a row , as of Super Bowl LII , this has been quoted as the rough cost per ad .

Super Bowl commercials

Media executives projected that the cost of a 30 - second commercial could exceed $5 million at Super Bowl 50 , a figure that CBS confirmed . That price would serve as a plateau for the two subsequent games ; Fox would match that figure for Super Bowl LI , and NBC would slightly exceed for Super Bowl LII , although it never explicitly stated how much its base price would be . Super Bowl LI would also , for the first time in the game 's history , feature overtime play ; four ads were broadcast between the end of regulation and the start of play , including two ads seen earlier in the game , and two ads that were sold for and also seen during the post-game show . While Fox had negotiated ad sales for overtime in the event it were to occur , it is unknown whether the network charged a premium on top of the base cost . In comparison , Sunday Night Football , the flagship primetime game during the regular season , has an average cost of around $700,000 for 30 seconds of time . The average cost of a 30 - second ad during the Super Bowl increased by 87 % between 2008 and 2017 . However , the $5 million per 30 seconds appears to have become a soft cap , as for the third year in a row , as of Super Bowl LII , this has been quoted as the rough cost per ad .

'' Early on , she was a very powerful force advocating for the Nigerian woman 's right to vote . She was described in 1947 , by the West African Pilot , as the `` Lioness of Lisabi '' for her leadership of the women of the Egba people on a campaign against their arbitrary taxation .

RMS Titanic

Those aboard Titanic were ill - prepared for such an emergency . In accordance with accepted practices of the time , where ships were seen as largely unsinkable and lifeboats were intended to transfer passengers to nearby rescue vessels , Titanic only had enough lifeboats to carry about half of those on board ; if the ship had carried her full complement of about 3,339 passengers and crew , only about a third could have been accommodated in the lifeboats . The crew had not been trained adequately in carrying out an evacuation . The officers did not know how many they could safely put aboard the lifeboats and launched many of them barely half - full . Third - class passengers were largely left to fend for themselves , causing many of them to become trapped below decks as the ship filled with water . The `` women and children first '' protocol was generally followed when loading the lifeboats , and most of the male passengers and crew were left aboard .

Missouri River

Flowing eastwards through the plains of eastern Montana , the Missouri receives the Poplar River from the north before crossing into North Dakota where the Yellowstone River , its greatest tributary by volume , joins from the southwest . At the confluence , the Yellowstone is actually the larger river . The Missouri then meanders east past Williston and into Lake Sakakawea , the reservoir formed by Garrison Dam . Below the dam the Missouri receives the Knife River from the west and flows south to Bismarck , the capital of North Dakota , where the Heart River joins from the west . It slows into the Lake Oahe reservoir just before the Cannonball River confluence . While it continues south , eventually reaching Oahe Dam in South Dakota , the Grand , Moreau and Cheyenne Rivers all join the Missouri from the west .

Another way of putting this is to grasp the poem as one single metaphor . A metaphor usually consists of three elements : the `` tenor '' ( target ) , a `` vehicle '' ( source ) and the `` tertium comparationis '' ( some common ground that exists between target and source domain ) . Here , however , it is not possible to identify target and source beyond individual words . Both forest and sea might represent each of these two elements , and the green color of either forest and sea might be one plausible `` tertium comparationis '' for the metaphor .

History of Washington, D.C.

The United States capital was originally located in Philadelphia , beginning with the First and Second Continental Congress , followed by the Congress of the Confederation upon gaining independence . In June 1783 , a mob of angry soldiers converged upon Independence Hall to demand payment for their service during the American Revolutionary War . Congress requested that John Dickinson , the governor of Pennsylvania , call up the militia to defend Congress from attacks by the protesters . In what became known as the Pennsylvania Mutiny of 1783 , Dickinson sympathized with the protesters and refused to remove them from Philadelphia . As a result , Congress was forced to flee to Princeton , New Jersey , on June 21 , 1783 . Dickinson 's failure to protect the institutions of the national government was discussed at the Philadelphia Convention in 1787 . The delegates therefore agreed in Article One , Section 8 , of the United States Constitution to give the Congress the power :

Obedience training

Slip collars ( commonly called choke chain or check chains ) are made of metal links or rolled material such as nylon or leather . A metal ring is at each end . Historically , slip collars have been used as a matter of course , mostly in North America and the UK . In the last few decades use of these collars has declined . Correctly used , the collar should make a quick clicking not zipping sound when quickly snapped and released to startle or get the attention of the dog and indicate to the handler that the technique was a swift jerk not a choke . The idea is not to strangle the dog , though this can happen if the collar is improperly used .

The internationally common 102 / 104 key keyboards have a smaller left shift key and an additional key with some more symbols between that and the letter to its right ( usually Z or Y ) . Also the enter key is usually shaped differently . Computer keyboards are similar to electric - typewriter keyboards but contain additional keys , such as the command or Windows keys . There is no standard computer keyboard , although many manufacturers imitate the keyboard of PCs . There are actually three different PC keyboards : the original PC keyboard with 84 keys , the AT keyboard also with 84 keys and the enhanced keyboard with 101 keys . The three differ somewhat in the placement of function keys , the control keys , the return key , and the shift key .

He also attempted to compose the music on either side of each song in such a way that it could augment the songs and elevate their intended effects .

Thus , a master chief petty officer with the rating of fire controlman would properly be called a master chief fire controlman .

Master chief petty officer

Petty officers of all grades possess both a rate ( the enlisted term for rank ) and rating ( job , similar to a military occupational specialty ( MOS ) in other branches ) .

These alterations included the addition of translucent domes and blinking lights at the forward ends of the engine nacelles , smaller domes at the stern end of the engine nacelles , a shorter bridge dome , and a smaller deflector / sensor dish .

USS Enterprise (NCC-1701)

Initially , the models were static and had no electronics . For the second pilot , `` Where No Man Has Gone Before '' ( 1966 ) , various details of the 11 - foot model were altered , and the starboard window ports and running lights were internally illuminated . When the series was picked up and went into production , the model was altered yet again . These alterations included the addition of translucent domes and blinking lights at the forward ends of the engine nacelles , smaller domes at the stern end of the engine nacelles , a shorter bridge dome , and a smaller deflector / sensor dish . Save for re-used footage from the two pilot episodes , this was the appearance of the ship throughout the series , except for some detail added to nacelles for shots used in `` The Trouble with Tribbles '' .

Magmatism continued after the period of intense meteorite impacts ended about 3.9 billion years ago , but igneous rocks younger than 3.9 billion years make up only a minor part of the crust .

Crust (geology)

Study of the Moon has established that a crust can form on a rocky planetary body significantly smaller than Earth . Although the radius of the Moon is only about a quarter that of Earth , the lunar crust has a significantly greater average thickness . This thick crust formed almost immediately after formation of the Moon . Magmatism continued after the period of intense meteorite impacts ended about 3.9 billion years ago , but igneous rocks younger than 3.9 billion years make up only a minor part of the crust .

France 's demographic transition was unusual in that the mortality and the natality decreased at the same time , thus there was no demographic boom in the 19th century .

Demographic transition

France displays real divergences from the standard model of Western demographic evolution . The uniqueness of the French case arises from its specific demographic history , its historic cultural values , and its internal regional dynamics . France 's demographic transition was unusual in that the mortality and the natality decreased at the same time , thus there was no demographic boom in the 19th century .

The Bad Touch

The song 's video features the band dressed in `` MonkeyRat '' costumes with oversized ears , in numerous locations of Paris ( including the Place de l'Estrapade , Avenue de Saxe , and Champ de Mars ) , and the Eiffel Tower is visible in many shots . During the video , the band uses blowguns to shoot tranquilizer darts into the buttocks of four passing young women dressed in black with short skirts and stockings , then carrying them away . They then use a fishing rod to dangle a croissant in front of a group of French chefs , enticing them to follow . The band members dance around for a few seconds and then lure three chefs into following them . The band members swallow several mealworms , before finding two stereotypically French effeminate gay men in a café , who are then beaten over the head with baguettes and knocked unconscious .

Lake Texcoco

Tenochtitlan was founded on an islet in the western part of the lake in the year 1325 . Around it , the Aztecs created a large artificial island using a system similar to the creation of chinampas . To overcome the problems of drinking water , the Aztecs built a system of dams to separate the salty waters of the lake from the rain water of the effluents . It also permitted them to control the level of the lake . The city also had an inner system of channels that helped to control the water .

Blood cell

Platelets release a multitude of growth factors including Platelet - derived growth factor ( PDGF ) , a potent chemotactic agent , and TGF beta , which stimulates the deposition of extracellular matrix . Both of these growth factors have been shown to play a significant role in the repair and regeneration of connective tissues . Other healing - associated growth factors produced by platelets include basic fibroblast growth factor , insulin - like growth factor 1 , platelet - derived epidermal growth factor , and vascular endothelial growth factor . Local application of these factors in increased concentrations through Platelet - rich plasma ( PRP ) has been used as an adjunct to wound healing for several decades .

Katha Upanishad

Atman , asserts Katha Upanishad , is the subject of Self - knowledge , the bearer of spiritual reality , that which is all - prevading , inside every being , that unifies all human beings as well as all creatures , the concealed , eternal , immortal , pure bliss . It exists and active when man is in awake - state , it exists and active when man is in dream - state . The empirical reality is the `` honey '' for the Atman , with the honey metaphor repeating `` fruit of numerous karma flowers in the valley of life '' doctrine found in other Upanishads , such as in the second chapter of Brihadaranyaka Upanishad . To know Atman , look inward and introspect ; to know objects , look outward and examine , states Katha Upanishad . Everything that changes is not Atman , that which was , is , will be and never changes is Atman . Just like a baby is concealed inside a mother 's womb when conceived , Atman is concealed inside every creature , states verse 2.4. 8 of Katha Upanishad .

Conversations with God

In the dialogue many philosophical ideas are presented that had already been advanced earlier by major Eastern and Western thinkers , but Walsch presents the information in language for modern readers and does not specifically cite any of these philosophers . In fact , Walsch claims that he had never known most of these ideas before his revelatory experiences . Since the beginning of the series , and especially in the latter volumes , Walsch and `` God '' acknowledge that most of the concepts presented are previously known to humanity , but are profound enough to warrant being explored repeatedly , and put into this cohesive unified form .

Fundamental parts of Walsch 's writings are also mirrored within other well known spiritual writings and traditions :

Practical Magic was partially filmed on an artificial set in California . The film 's producers said the house was a big part of the depiction of the Owens ' culture , so they knew they had to build a house to accurately depict this . They built it in Coupeville , Washington . They brought much of the set from California and placed it inside the house , but it still took almost a year to perfect the image of the house and the interior . The house used is owned by the Sundstrom Family and is located on San Juan Valley Road , San Juan Island . They built a replica of the outside of the house on the west side of San Juan Island so that it looked like the house was on the waterfront , but in actuality it is in the valley . They built the house in San Juan County Park but since the house was built only for this filming , it was torn down after the movie was released . Many of the small town scenes were filmed in downtown Coupeville , Washington , located on Whidbey Island .

At Christmas , he declared himself `` The Santa Stalker '' and attacked the Santa at the local mall with airsoft Glock 17s , hitting many innocent bystanders .

List of The Boondocks characters

Riley Freeman ( voiced by Regina King ) is Huey 's younger brother . Riley could be described as a product of mass media influence , in that he refers to women as `` bitches '' or `` hoes '' , frequently alludes to his `` rep '' and his status on the `` streets '' , and idolizes gangsta rappers and their lifestyle . He often refers to himself as self - appointed moniker `` Young Reezy '' . Though he would seem to be everything his brother is not , he has demonstrated his ability to rationalize and plan things out , such as when he planned his `` fund raiser '' and when he rendered attorney Tom Dubois speechless after debating with him regarding the R. Kelly trial in `` The Trial of R. Kelly '' . `` Damn , you just got beat by an eight year - old . '' which Huey remarked . His criminal aptitude is put to the test when he goes on some crime sprees with the incompetent Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy in the episode `` Let 's Nab Oprah '' during which he effectively acts as the brains behind the operation to kidnap Oprah . Riley can be seen as representative of the misguided Black youth . He has a fascination for firearms , and his tendency for violence is displayed time and time again . At Christmas , he declared himself `` The Santa Stalker '' and attacked the Santa at the local mall with airsoft Glock 17s , hitting many innocent bystanders . Riley does not own any real firearms and has only been seen owning Airsoft - style guns -- a Glock 17 and an MP5K -- but he pals around with Ed Wuncler III and Gin Rummy , who have on occasion granted him access to real weapons . He also seems to possess unusually large amount of strength and stamina , as seen when he fights his brother Huey , who is a very high degree martial artist and swordsman . It can also be seen when he fights Stinkmeaner alongside his family where , albeit slow , his blows seem to be worth blocking against a kung - fu trained Stinkmeaner . Indeed , though , beyond this tough - guy facade , there would seem to be some measure of sensitivity that is especially apparent in the episode `` Riley Wuz Here '' during which he learns to use his incredible artistic abilities to create art for the sake of creating art , and not for personal glory .

In Ancient Athens , hubris was considered one of the greatest crimes and was used to refer to insolent contempt that can cause one to use violence to shame the victim . This sense of hubris could also characterize rape . Aristotle defined hubris as shaming the victim , not because of anything that happened to the committer or might happen to the committer , but merely for the committer 's own gratification . The word 's connotation changed somewhat over time , with some additional emphasis towards a gross over-estimation of one 's abilities .

Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act

Several studies found that the financial crisis and accompanying recession could not account for the entirety of the slowdown and that structural changes likely share at least partial credit . A 2013 study estimated that changes to the health system had been responsible for about a quarter of the recent reduction in inflation . Paul Krawzak claimed that even if cost controls succeed in reducing the amount spent on healthcare , such efforts on their own may be insufficient to outweigh the long - term burden placed by demographic changes , particularly the growth of the population on Medicare .

Sympathetic ganglion

The general rule of interaction of the nerve fibres in the sympathetic nervous system begins at the spinal cord . Here they arise from the thoracolumbar ( T1 - L2 ) regions ' lateral horn of grey and emerge via the ventral root . They enter their respective spinal nerve ( e.g. T5 ) , and thus enter the white ramus communicans . This myelinated division can then enter the sympathetic chain .

By the mid-19th century this form of religion and Bible interpretation had become a dominant strand in American religious , moral and political discourse , almost serving as a de facto state religion .

Origins of the American Civil War

After the American Revolution and the disestablishment of government - sponsored churches , the U.S. experienced the Second Great Awakening , a massive Protestant revival . Without centralized church authorities , American Protestantism was heavily reliant on the Bible , which was read in the standard 19th - century Reformed hermeneutic of `` common sense '' , literal interpretation as if the Bible were speaking directly about the modern American situation instead of events that occurred in a much different context , millennia ago . By the mid-19th century this form of religion and Bible interpretation had become a dominant strand in American religious , moral and political discourse , almost serving as a de facto state religion .

Blade Runner

Casting the film proved troublesome , particularly for the lead role of Deckard . Screenwriter Hampton Fancher envisioned Robert Mitchum as Deckard and wrote the character 's dialogue with Mitchum in mind . Director Ridley Scott and the film 's producers spent months meeting and discussing the role with Dustin Hoffman , who eventually departed over differences in vision . Harrison Ford was ultimately chosen for several reasons , including his performance in the Star Wars films , Ford 's interest in the Blade Runner story , and discussions with Steven Spielberg who was finishing Raiders of the Lost Ark at the time and strongly praised Ford 's work in the film . Following his success in films like Star Wars ( 1977 ) and Raiders of the Lost Ark ( 1981 ) , Ford was looking for a role with dramatic depth . According to production documents , several actors were considered for the role , including Gene Hackman , Sean Connery , Jack Nicholson , Paul Newman , Clint Eastwood , Tommy Lee Jones , Arnold Schwarzenegger , Al Pacino , and Burt Reynolds .

In the human digestive system , food enters the mouth and mechanical digestion of the food starts by the action of mastication ( chewing ) , a form of mechanical digestion , and the wetting contact of saliva .

Digestion

In the human digestive system , food enters the mouth and mechanical digestion of the food starts by the action of mastication ( chewing ) , a form of mechanical digestion , and the wetting contact of saliva . Saliva , a liquid secreted by the salivary glands , contains salivary amylase , an enzyme which starts the digestion of starch in the food ; the saliva also contains mucus , which lubricates the food , and hydrogen carbonate , which provides the ideal conditions of pH ( alkaline ) for amylase to work . After undergoing mastication and starch digestion , the food will be in the form of a small , round slurry mass called a bolus . It will then travel down the esophagus and into the stomach by the action of peristalsis . Gastric juice in the stomach starts protein digestion . Gastric juice mainly contains hydrochloric acid and pepsin . As these two chemicals may damage the stomach wall , mucus is secreted by the stomach , providing a slimy layer that acts as a shield against the damaging effects of the chemicals . At the same time protein digestion is occurring , mechanical mixing occurs by peristalsis , which is waves of muscular contractions that move along the stomach wall . This allows the mass of food to further mix with the digestive enzymes .

Great Pyramid of Giza

The `` King 's Chamber '' is 20 Egyptian Royal cubits or 10.47 metres ( 34.4 ft ) from east to west and 10 cubits or 5.234 metres ( 17.17 ft ) north to south . It has a flat roof 11 cubits and 5 digits or 5.852 metres ( 19 feet 2 inch ) above the floor . 0.91 m ( 3.0 ft ) above the floor there are two narrow shafts in the north and south walls ( one is now filled by an extractor fan in an attempt to circulate air inside the pyramid ) . The purpose of these shafts is not clear : they appear to be aligned towards stars or areas of the northern and southern skies , yet one of them follows a dog - leg course through the masonry , indicating no intention to directly sight stars through them . They were long believed by Egyptologists to be `` air shafts '' for ventilation , but this idea has now been widely abandoned in favour of the shafts serving a ritualistic purpose associated with the ascension of the king 's spirit to the heavens .

The Shroud of Turin or Turin Shroud ( Italian : Sindone di Torino , Sacra Sindone ( ˈsaːkra ˈsindone ) or Santa Sindone ) is a length of linen cloth bearing the negative image of a man who is alleged to be Jesus of Nazareth . It is kept in the royal chapel of the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin , Piedmont , northern Italy . The cloth itself is believed by some to be the burial shroud that Jesus was wrapped in when he was buried after crucifixion . It is first securely attested in 1390 , when a local bishop wrote that the shroud was a forgery and that an unnamed artist had confessed . Radiocarbon dating of a sample of the shroud material is consistent with this date .

List of Drake & Josh characters

Drake Parker ( Drake Bell ) is depicted as a laid - back , charming , immature , and womanizing teenager . Although he often appears unintelligent , his under - achievement seems to be caused by apathy and he has been known not to think before he acts ( making straight D 's ) . Drake has great interest in music , playing the electric guitar in a band throughout the series and liking all forms , his favorite being rock . He can also play several percussion instruments , shown in `` Megan 's New Teacher '' when he tried to play drums and guitar at the same time and in `` Josh Runs Into Oprah '' where he played the bongos . He usually takes advantage of Josh to get what he wants . He has a lot of success with girls and much of the comedy is his effortless ability to get dates . Drake is also very unhygienic ( not washing hands , eating food off the floor ) . Drake feels embarrassed about his new stepbrother at first , but grows to accept Josh . Despite his arrogance and selfishness , Drake still remains a likable character and redeems himself by doing the right thing . He becomes more mature as the series progresses . In 2010 , Drake Bell made an appearance in the iCarly Season 3 episode `` iBloop '' which stars his Drake & Josh co-star Miranda Cosgrove . He reprised his role as Drake Parker to make an appearance in the episode , during which he seems to have stepped into the alternate fictional universe of iCarly where he recognizes Cosgrove 's character as Megan Parker and follows by asking the whereabouts of Josh and the rest of his family .

Some constitutional scholars argue that any `` right '' of Texas to divide and reform itself into multiple states was ended by the secession of Texas in 1861 to join the Confederacy and its subsequent , formal , readmission to the United States of America in 1865 ; however , complicating this argument is the United States Supreme Court ruling holding that Texas remained part of the United States even during the Civil War .

Texas divisionism

The resolution of 1845 , states that division is `` under the provisions of the Federal Constitution '' . Article IV Section 3 of The United States Constitution expressly prohibits Texas , or any other state , from dividing up and forming smaller states without Congressional approval . The relevant clause says `` New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union ; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state ; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states , or parts of states , without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress '' . While opponents argue that the Constitutional provision would require Congressional approval of any new states formed from Texas ' territory , proponents argue that the resolution of 1845 , as it was a bill which passed both houses of Congress , stands as Congressional `` pre-approval '' under the terms of the Constitution for formation of such states . Some constitutional scholars argue that any `` right '' of Texas to divide and reform itself into multiple states was ended by the secession of Texas in 1861 to join the Confederacy and its subsequent , formal , readmission to the United States of America in 1865 ; however , complicating this argument is the United States Supreme Court ruling holding that Texas remained part of the United States even during the Civil War . While Texas first joined the United States of America as a separate and sovereign nation , not a U.S. territory , secession and subsequent readmission to the Union as one of the united states changed the special circumstances under which Texas first joined the United States .

New Testament

The New Testament is a collection of Christian works written in the common ( Koine ) Greek language of the first century , at different times by various writers , and the modern consensus is that it also provides important evidence regarding Judaism in the first century AD . In almost all Christian traditions today , the New Testament consists of 27 books . The original texts were written in the first and perhaps the second centuries of the Christian Era , in Greek , which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the Conquests of Alexander the Great ( 335 -- 323 BC ) until the Muslim conquests in the 7th century AD . All the works that eventually became incorporated into the New Testament are believed to have been written no later than around 120 AD , . John A.T. Robinson , Dan Wallace , and William F. Albright dated all the books of the New Testament before 70 AD . Others give a final date of 80 AD , or at 96 AD .
