When contours are used with hypsometric tints on a small - scale map that includes mountains and flatter low - lying areas , it is common to have smaller intervals at lower elevations so that detail is shown in all areas .

Contour line

Of course , to determine differences in elevation between two points , the contour interval , or distance in altitude between two adjacent contour lines , must be known , and this is normally stated in the map key . Usually contour intervals are consistent throughout a map , but there are exceptions . Sometimes intermediate contours are present in flatter areas ; these can be dashed or dotted lines at half the noted contour interval . When contours are used with hypsometric tints on a small - scale map that includes mountains and flatter low - lying areas , it is common to have smaller intervals at lower elevations so that detail is shown in all areas . Conversely , for an island which consists of a plateau surrounded by steep cliffs , it is possible to use smaller intervals as the height increases .

Clothing often became infested with fleas from the animals that travelled with the fair .

The Hoppings

Several origins have been suggested for the name , most of which relate to dancing . The word `` hopping '' , means a dance in Middle English ( Old fairs included dancing ) . Another idea stems from the clothing which the travellers used to wear ; that being of old , sack - like tops and pants . Clothing often became infested with fleas from the animals that travelled with the fair . People were often seen `` jumping '' or `` hopping '' about itching from the bites which they received . Or the name may derive from the Anglo - Saxon word `` hoppen '' meaning funfair .

The wax cylinder got a competitor with the advent of the Gramophone , which was patented by Emile Berliner in 1887 .

History of sound recording

The wax cylinder got a competitor with the advent of the Gramophone , which was patented by Emile Berliner in 1887 . The vibration of the Gramophone 's recording stylus was horizontal , parallel to the recording surface , resulting in a zig - zag groove of constant depth . This is known as lateral recording . Berliner 's original patent showed a lateral recording etched around the surface of a cylinder , but in practice he opted for the disc format . The Gramophones he soon began to market were intended solely for playing prerecorded entertainment discs and could not be used to record . The spiral groove on the flat surface of a disc was relatively easy to replicate : a negative metal electrotype of the original record could be used to stamp out hundreds or thousands of copies before it wore out . Early on , the copies were made of hard rubber , and sometimes of celluloid , but soon a shellac - based compound was adopted .

A tropical cyclone is classified as making landfall when the center of the storm moves across the coast ; in strong tropical cyclones this is when the eye moves over land .

Landfall

A tropical cyclone is classified as making landfall when the center of the storm moves across the coast ; in strong tropical cyclones this is when the eye moves over land . This is where most of the damage occurs within a mature tropical cyclone , such as a typhoon or hurricane , as most of the damaging aspects of these systems are concentrated near the eyewall . Such effects include the peaking of the storm surge , the core of strong winds coming ashore , and heavy flooding rains . These coupled with high surf can cause major beach erosion . In low - lying areas , the storm surge can stay inland for a long time and mix with chemicals already in the area to create a toxic mess . When a tropical cyclone makes landfall , the eye closes in upon itself due to the weakening process , which causes surf to decrease . Maximum sustained winds will naturally decrease as the cyclone moves inland due to frictional differences between water and land with the free atmosphere .

Battle of Fort Sumter

The resupply of Fort Sumter became the first crisis of the administration of the newly inaugurated U.S. President Abraham Lincoln following his victory in the election of November 6 , 1860 . He notified the Governor of South Carolina , Francis W. Pickens that he was sending supply ships , which resulted in an ultimatum from the Confederate government for the immediate evacuation of Fort Sumter , which Major Anderson refused .

The Middle Ages were seen with nostalgia as a period of social and environmental harmony and spiritual inspiration , in contrast to the excesses of the French Revolution and , most of all , to the environmental and social upheavals and utilitarianism of the developing Industrial Revolution .

Dark Ages (historiography)

In the late 18th and early 19th centuries , the Romantics reversed the negative assessment of Enlightenment critics with a vogue for medievalism . The word `` Gothic '' had been a term of opprobrium akin to `` Vandal '' until a few self - confident mid-18th - century English `` Goths '' like Horace Walpole initiated the Gothic Revival in the arts . This stimulated interest in the Middle Ages , which for the following generation began to take on the idyllic image of an `` Age of Faith '' . This , reacting to a world dominated by Enlightenment rationalism , expressed a romantic view of a Golden Age of chivalry . The Middle Ages were seen with nostalgia as a period of social and environmental harmony and spiritual inspiration , in contrast to the excesses of the French Revolution and , most of all , to the environmental and social upheavals and utilitarianism of the developing Industrial Revolution . The Romantics ' view is still represented in modern - day fairs and festivals celebrating the period with ' merrie ' costumes and events .

She's a Woman

`` She 's a Woman '' has been described as an example of the rock and roll and rhythm and blues genres . The song , penned mainly by Paul McCartney ( Lennon helped with the lyric and bridge ) was his attempt at imitating the vocal style of Little Richard . This is why the song is in such a high register , even for McCartney 's tenor range . Some takes of the song ( especially recordings of live concerts ) feature an extended outro .

Barber's pole

The red and white pole outside barber shops references a time when barbers were expected to perform bloodletting and other medical procedures to heal the sick ; red represented blood and white represented bandages . `` Barber surgeons '' in Rome also performed teeth extraction , cupping , leeching , bloodletting , surgery and enemas . However , today 's barber poles represent little more than being a barber shop that cuts hair and does shaves . Barber poles have actually become a topic of controversy in the hairstyling business . In some states , such as Michigan in March 2012 , legislation has emerged proposing that barber poles should only be permitted outside barbershops , but not traditional beauty salons . Barbers and cosmetologists have engaged in several legal battles claiming the right to use the barber pole symbol to indicate to potential customers that the business offers haircutting services . Barbers claim that they are entitled to exclusive rights to use the barber pole because of the tradition tied to the craft , whereas cosmetologists argue that they are equally capable of cutting men 's hair ( though many cosmetologists are not permitted to use razors , depending on their state 's laws ) .

Father Knows Best

As before , the character of Margaret was portrayed as a `` voice of reason , '' but Jim 's character was softened to that of a thoughtful father who offered sage advice whenever one ( or more ) of his children had a problem . Jim was a salesman and manager of the General Insurance Company in Springfield , while Margaret was a housewife . One history of the series characterized the Andersons as `` truly an idealized family , the sort that viewers could relate to and emulate . '' As the two eldest children aged from teen - ager to young adult , Betty ( 1956 ) and Bud ( 1959 ) graduated from high school and attended Springfield Junior College .

Much later , in 1989 , the typical American family saw the Dogue de Bordeaux for the first time on the big screen in Touchstone 's movie Turner & Hooch about a policeman and his canine partner , although many people did not know that the massive slobbering animal was a Dogue de Bordeaux .

Dogue de Bordeaux

Although the Dogue de Bordeaux first arrived in the USA in the 1890s for the show ring , the first documented Dogues de Bordeaux of modern times appeared in 1959 , Fidelle de Fenelon ; and in 1968 , Rugby de la Maison des Arbres . Between 1969 and 1980 , imported Dogues de Bordeaux in the USA were scarce , limited to a few breeders who worked closely with the French Dogue de Bordeaux Club , the SADB . The breed was first `` officially '' introduced to American purebred enthusiasts in an article written in 1982 and by the American anthropologist , Dr. Carl Semencic for `` Dog World '' magazine . That article , entitled `` Introducing the Dogue de Bordeaux '' , was followed by chapters dedicated to the Dogue in Semencic 's books on dogs , published by T.F.H. Publications of Neptune , New Jersey . When Semencic 's first article on the breed was published , there were no Bordeaux Dogues in the United States . There were 600 examples left in the world , mostly in France , the Netherlands and East Berlin , and the breed 's numbers were on the decline . Much later , in 1989 , the typical American family saw the Dogue de Bordeaux for the first time on the big screen in Touchstone 's movie Turner & Hooch about a policeman and his canine partner , although many people did not know that the massive slobbering animal was a Dogue de Bordeaux .

August Weismann

Weismann conducted the experiment of removing the tails of 68 white mice , repeatedly over 5 generations , and reporting that no mice were born in consequence without a tail or even with a shorter tail . He stated that `` 901 young were produced by five generations of artificially mutilated parents , and yet there was not a single example of a rudimentary tail or of any other abnormality in this organ . '' Weismann was aware of the limitations of this experiment , and made it clear that he embarked on the experiment precisely because , at the time , there were many claims of animals inheriting mutilations ( he refers to a claim regarding a cat that had lost its tail having numerous tail-less offspring ) . There were also claims of Jews born without foreskins . None of these claims , he said , were backed up by reliable evidence that the parent had in fact been mutilated , leaving the perfectly plausible possibility that the modified offspring were the result of a mutated gene . The purpose of his experiment was to lay the claims of inherited mutilation to rest . The results were consistent with Weismann 's germ plasm theory .

Bartholdi had decided on a height of just over 151 feet ( 46 m ) for the statue , double that of Italy 's Sancarlone and the German statue of Arminius , both made with the same method .

Statue of Liberty

Bartholdi interested his friend and mentor , architect Eugène Viollet - le - Duc , in the project . As chief engineer , Viollet - le - Duc designed a brick pier within the statue , to which the skin would be anchored . After consultations with the metalwork foundry Gaget , Gauthier & Co. , Viollet - le - Duc chose the metal which would be used for the skin , copper sheets , and the method used to shape it , repoussé , in which the sheets were heated and then struck with wooden hammers . An advantage of this choice was that the entire statue would be light for its volume , as the copper need be only 0.094 inches ( 2.4 mm ) thick . Bartholdi had decided on a height of just over 151 feet ( 46 m ) for the statue , double that of Italy 's Sancarlone and the German statue of Arminius , both made with the same method .

The combination of the mysterious suitcase lock is 666 , the `` Number of the Beast '' .

Pulp Fiction

The combination of the mysterious suitcase lock is 666 , the `` Number of the Beast '' . Tarantino has said there is no explanation for its contents -- it is simply a MacGuffin , a pure plot device . Originally , the case was to contain diamonds , but this was seen as too mundane . For filming purposes , it contained a hidden orange light bulb that produced an otherworldly glow . In a 2007 video interview with fellow director and friend Robert Rodriguez , Tarantino purportedly `` reveals '' the secret contents of the briefcase , but the film cuts out and skips the scene in the style employed in Tarantino and Rodriguez 's Grindhouse ( 2007 ) , with an intertitle that reads `` Missing Reel '' . The interview resumes with Rodriguez discussing how radically the `` knowledge '' of the briefcase 's contents alters one 's understanding of the movie .

Plant genetics

Gregor Mendel was an Augustinian priest and scientist born on 20 July 1822 in Austria - Hungary and is well known for discovering genetics . He went to the Abbey of St. Thomas in Brno . He is often called the father of genetics for his study of the inheritance of certain traits in pea plants . Mendel showed that the inheritance of these traits follows particular laws , which were later named after him . The significance of Mendel 's work was not recognized until the turn of the 20th century . Its rediscovery prompted the foundation of the discipline of genetics allows geneticists today to accurately predict the outcome of such crosses and in determining the phenotypical effects of the crosses . He died on 6 January 1884 from chronic nephritis .

Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2

In September 2015 , Gunn said in a Facebook post that he wanted to use Sneepers , an alien race that first appeared in Marvel Comics in 1964 , as background characters in the film , but was advised against it by Marvel 's legal department because the name was too similar to snípur , the Icelandic word for clitoris . The Marvel legal department later cleared the use of Sneepers in the film , in part because of all the media coverage Gunn 's initial post received . At the end of the month , Feige stated casting announcements would be made `` over the next few months before the end of the year '' , and by the end of October , Pom Klementieff was cast as Mantis . Also , Matthew McConaughey was offered the role of the film 's antagonist , but had passed on it in favor of The Dark Tower .

Reilly about him reprising his role as Nova Corpsman Rhomann Dey , while Kurt Russell entered early talks to play Quill 's father . After the death of David Bowie in January 2016 , Gunn said that there had been discussions for Bowie to appear in the film as a member of Yondu 's original crew .

The Moon differs from most satellites of other planets in that its orbit is close to the ecliptic plane instead of that of its primary ( in this case , the Earth 's equatorial plane ) .

Orbit of the Moon

The Moon orbits Earth in the prograde direction and completes one revolution relative to the stars in about 27.322 days ( a sidereal month ) and one revolution relative to the Sun in about 29.530 days ( a synodic month ) . Earth and the Moon orbit about their barycentre ( common center of mass ) , which lies about 4,600 km ( 2,900 mi ) from Earth 's center ( about 3 / 4 of the radius of Earth ) . On average , the distance to the Moon is about 385,000 km ( 239,000 mi ) from Earth 's center , which corresponds to about 60 Earth radii . With a mean orbital velocity of 1.022 km / s ( 2,290 mph ) , the Moon covers a distance approximately its diameter , or about half a degree on the celestial sphere , each hour . The Moon differs from most satellites of other planets in that its orbit is close to the ecliptic plane instead of that of its primary ( in this case , the Earth 's equatorial plane ) . The Moon 's orbital plane is inclined by about 5.1 ° to the ecliptic plane , whereas the Moon 's equatorial plane is tilted by only 1.5 ° .

Amazing Grace

Although Collins used it as a catharsis for her opposition to the Vietnam War , two years after her rendition , the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards , senior Scottish regiment of the British Army , recorded an instrumental version featuring a bagpipe soloist accompanied by a pipe and drum band . The tempo of their arrangement was slowed to allow for the bagpipes , but it was based on Collins ' : it began with a bagpipe solo introduction similar to her lone voice , then it was accompanied by the band of bagpipes and horns , whereas in her version she is backed up by a chorus . It topped the RPM national singles chart in Canada for three weeks , and rose as high as number 11 in the U.S. It is also a controversial instrumental , as it combined pipes with a military band . The Royal Scots Dragoon Guards ' version of `` Amazing Grace '' regained popularity in 2007 , thirty - five years after it was originally released , when it was recorded for their album Spirit of the Glen , which reached number 13 in the UK Albums Chart . The Pipe Major of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards was summoned to Edinburgh Castle and chastised for demeaning the bagpipes . Funeral processions for killed police , fire , and military personnel have often played a bagpipes version ever since .

Before November 2013 , Senate rules required a three - fifths vote of the `` duly chosen and sworn '' members of the Senate ( usually 60 votes ) to end debate on a bill , nomination or other proposal ; they also require a two - thirds vote ( `` present and voting '' -- 67 or more votes ) to end debate on a change to the Senate rules . Those rules effectively allowed a minority of the Senate to block a bill or nomination through the technique of the filibuster . This had resulted in a de facto requirement that a nomination have the support of 60 Senators to pass , rather than a majority of 51 . A three - fifths majority vote is still required to end debates on legislation . Before April 2017 , Senate rules required a three - fifths vote to confirm nominations for Supreme Court nominees .

In 1791 , a few years before the French Revolutionary Government agreed on the metre as the basis of the metric system , Thomas Jefferson , in a report to Congress proposed that the United States should adopt a decimal currency system ( which was adopted ) and a decimal - based system of measure ( which was not adopted ) .

Stone (unit)

Although the advent of the metric system spelt the demise of the stone as a unit of measure , the stone was used in some early discussions and implementations of the metric system . In his Philosophical essay written in 1668 , John Wilkins proposed a system of measure whose unit of length , the standard , was approximately one metre and whose unit of mass was the mass of a cubic standard of rainwater ( which would have been approximately 1,000 kg ) . He proposed that one tenth of this mass ( 100 kg ) should be called a stone . In 1791 , a few years before the French Revolutionary Government agreed on the metre as the basis of the metric system , Thomas Jefferson , in a report to Congress proposed that the United States should adopt a decimal currency system ( which was adopted ) and a decimal - based system of measure ( which was not adopted ) . Jefferson 's proposal for units of measure included a `` decimal '' pound equal to 9.375 ounces ( 265.8 g ) in the `` customary '' system and a `` decimal '' stone of 10 `` decimal '' pounds or 5.8595 pounds ( 2.6578 kg ) .

Supratisthitavarman was succeeded by his brother , Bhaskarvarman ( 600 -- 650 ) , the most illustrious of the Varman kings who succeeded in turning his kingdom and invading the very kingdom that had taken him captive . Bhaskarvarman had become strong enough to offer his alliance with Harshavardhana just as the Thanesar king ascended the throne in 606 after the murder of his brother , the previous king , by Shashanka of Gaur . Harshavardhana finally took control over the kingless Maukhari kingdom and moved his capital to Kanauj . The alliance between Harshavardhana and Bhaskarvarman squeezed Shashanka from either side and reduced his kingdom , though it is unclear whether this alliance resulted in his complete defeat . Nevertheless , Bhaskarvarman did issue the Nidhanpur copper - plate inscription from his victory camp in the Gaur capital Karnasuvarna ( present - day Murshidabad , West Bengal ) to replace a grant issued earlier by Bhutivarman for a settlement in the Sylhet region of present - day Bangladesh .
