The percentage of Americans eligible to vote who did , in fact , vote was 63 % in 1960 , but has been falling since , although there was a slight upward trend in the 2008 election .

United States Congress

Prominent Founding Fathers writing in The Federalist Papers felt that elections were essential to liberty , and that a bond between the people and the representatives was particularly essential and that `` frequent elections are unquestionably the only policy by which this dependence and sympathy can be effectually secured . '' In 2009 , however , few Americans were familiar with leaders of Congress . The percentage of Americans eligible to vote who did , in fact , vote was 63 % in 1960 , but has been falling since , although there was a slight upward trend in the 2008 election . Public opinion polls asking people if they approve of the job Congress is doing have , in the last few decades , hovered around 25 % with some variation . Scholar Julian Zeliger suggested that the `` size , messiness , virtues , and vices that make Congress so interesting also create enormous barriers to our understanding the institution ... Unlike the presidency , Congress is difficult to conceptualize . '' Other scholars suggest that despite the criticism , `` Congress is a remarkably resilient institution ... its place in the political process is not threatened ... it is rich in resources '' and that most members behave ethically . They contend that `` Congress is easy to dislike and often difficult to defend '' and this perception is exacerbated because many challengers running for Congress run against Congress , which is an `` old form of American politics '' that further undermines Congress 's reputation with the public :

Furthermore , the bombing was against well - defined targets , albeit in the middle of the city , and would have assisted the advancing German Army .

Strategic bombing during World War II

Whilst German historian Horst Boog says British propaganda inflated the number of civilian casualties by a factor of 30 , contemporary newspaper reports show the Dutch legation in Paris initially estimated 100,000 people were killed , the Dutch legation in New York later issued a revised figure of 30,000 . International news agencies widely reported these figures , portraying Rotterdam as a city mercilessly destroyed by terror bombing without regard for civilian life , with 30,000 dead lying under the ruins . Neither claim was true . Furthermore , the bombing was against well - defined targets , albeit in the middle of the city , and would have assisted the advancing German Army . The Germans had threatened to bomb Utrecht in the same fashion , and the Netherlands surrendered .

Gates of Delhi

Shahjahanabad , the seventh city of Delhi , was built by Shah Jahan in 1649 like a fortress encircled by strong and high red -- brick walls with 14 entry gates to the city , in addition to 16 wicket gates called windows ( khirkis in Urdu language ) . A number of bastions built of stone were added by the British , in addition to repairing the earlier fort , to make the fort more secure . The gates were designed and built for the people to have access and the royal procession to enter or exit , when going out in diverse directions . Out of the 14 gates , five gates have survived , namely , the Kashmiri Gate on the north , the Ajmeri Gate on the south - west , the Delhi Gate on the south - east , Turkman Gate on the south and the Nigambodh Gate on the north - east , all of which express vividly the splendor of the city . All the gates are located within a radius of 5 -- 6 km ( 3.1 -- 3.7 mi ) in the present day Old Delhi . The Lahori gate on the Northeast , in the old city , was demolished ( some remnant walls are seen at the crossing as may be seen in picture ) and the area converted into the present day Lahori Bazar . The gates have a square plan with high arched openings , except for low height of the Nigambodh gate , and two openings -- one for entry and another for exit -- of the Kashmiri gate . The names of all the gates , which existed during Shahajahan 's time are the Dilli Darwaza ( also known as Delhi Gate ) , Kabuli Darwaza , Raj Ghat Darwaza , Khizri Darwaza , Nigambodh Darwaza , Kela ke Ghat ka Darwaza , Lal Darwaza , Kashmiri Darwaza , Badar Darwaza , Patthar Khati Darwaza , Lahori Darwaza , Ajmeri Darwaza and Turkuman Darwaza .

Automobile drivetrains generally have two or more major areas where gearing is used .

Gear train

Automobile drivetrains generally have two or more major areas where gearing is used . Gearing is employed in the transmission , which contains a number of different sets of gears that can be changed to allow a wide range of vehicle speeds , and also in the differential , which contains the final drive to provide further speed reduction at the wheels . In addition , the differential contains further gearing that splits torque equally between the two wheels while permitting them to have different speeds when travelling in a curved path . The transmission and final drive might be separate and connected by a driveshaft , or they might be combined into one unit called a transaxle . The gear ratios in transmission and final drive are important because different gear ratios will change the characteristics of a vehicle 's performance .

Chromosomal crossover

Chromosomal crossover ( or crossing over ) is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that results in recombinant chromosomes during sexual reproduction . It is one of the final phases of genetic recombination , which occurs in the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis during a process called synapsis . Synapsis begins before the synaptonemal complex develops and is not completed until near the end of prophase I. Crossover usually occurs when matching regions on matching chromosomes break and then reconnect to the other chromosome .

Law of agency

A third party may rely in good faith on the representation by a person who identifies himself as an agent for another . It is not always cost effective to check whether someone who is represented as having the authority to act for another actually has such authority . If it is subsequently found that the alleged agent was acting without necessary authority , the agent will generally be held liable .

Although legal tender , these coins have never been common in everyday circulation .

kind ... but sad '' , while Luke confesses to have no memories of their mother .

Padmé Amidala

Return of the Jedi , the final film in the original trilogy , alludes to the character . While in the Ewok village on the forest moon of Endor , Luke Skywalker asks if Leia Organa remembers their `` real mother '' . Leia answers that `` she died when I was very young '' and also says that `` she was very beautiful ... kind ... but sad '' , while Luke confesses to have no memories of their mother . An extended scene of Return of the Jedi expands on the fate of Luke and Leia 's ( then - unnamed ) mother . It differs from the prequels in that Luke and Leia 's mother sneaked away as Bail Organa 's handmaiden after Anakin Skywalker turned to the dark side of the Force , and was with Leia until the Princess turned four , making the line Leia says to Luke about remembering their mother more believable .

Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart ; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins , both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart .

Vein

Veins are blood vessels that carry blood toward the heart . Most veins carry deoxygenated blood from the tissues back to the heart ; exceptions are the pulmonary and umbilical veins , both of which carry oxygenated blood to the heart . In contrast to veins , arteries carry blood away from the heart .

The cranium was discovered in Mutwe Wa Nsofu Area in a lead and zinc mine in Broken Hill , Northern Rhodesia ( now Kabwe , Zambia ) on June 17 , 1921 by Tom Zwiglaar , a Swiss miner .

Homo rhodesiensis

Kabwe 1 , also called the Broken Hill skull , was assigned by Arthur Smith Woodward in 1921 as the type specimen for Homo rhodesiensis ; most contemporary scientists forego the taxon `` rhodesiensis '' altogether and assign it to Homo heidelbergensis . The cranium was discovered in Mutwe Wa Nsofu Area in a lead and zinc mine in Broken Hill , Northern Rhodesia ( now Kabwe , Zambia ) on June 17 , 1921 by Tom Zwiglaar , a Swiss miner . In addition to the cranium , an upper jaw from another individual , a sacrum , a tibia , and two femur fragments were also found . The skull was dubbed `` Rhodesian Man '' at the time of the find , but is now commonly referred to as the Broken Hill skull or the Kabwe cranium .

The extension enabled another 155 revolutions around the planet , 54 flybys of Titan and 11 flybys of Enceladus .

Cassini–Huygens

On February 3 , 2010 , NASA announced another extension for Cassini , lasting 6 ​ ⁄ years until 2017 , ending at the time of summer solstice in Saturn 's northern hemisphere ( Cassini Solstice Mission ) . The extension enabled another 155 revolutions around the planet , 54 flybys of Titan and 11 flybys of Enceladus . In 2017 , an encounter with Titan changed its orbit in such a way that , at closest approach to Saturn , it was only 3,000 km above the planet 's cloudtops , below the inner edge of the D ring . This sequence of `` proximal orbits '' ended when its final encounter with Titan sent the probe into Saturn 's atmosphere to be destroyed .

Beanes was accused of aiding the arrest of British soldiers .

The Star-Spangled Banner

On September 3 , 1814 , following the Burning of Washington and the Raid on Alexandria , Francis Scott Key and John Stuart Skinner set sail from Baltimore aboard the ship HMS Minden , flying a flag of truce on a mission approved by President James Madison . Their objective was to secure an exchange of prisoners , one of whom was Dr. William Beanes , the elderly and popular town physician of Upper Marlboro and a friend of Key 's who had been captured in his home . Beanes was accused of aiding the arrest of British soldiers . Key and Skinner boarded the British flagship HMS Tonnant on September 7 and spoke with Major General Robert Ross and Vice Admiral Alexander Cochrane over dinner while the two officers discussed war plans . At first , Ross and Cochrane refused to release Beanes , but relented after Key and Skinner showed them letters written by wounded British prisoners praising Beanes and other Americans for their kind treatment .

Complications of corneal transplants are mostly related to vascularization of the corneal tissue and rejection of the donor cornea .

Keratoconus

In the USA , corneal transplants ( also known as corneal grafts ) for keratoconus are usually performed under sedation as outpatient surgery . In other countries , such as Australia and the UK , the operation is commonly performed with the person undergoing a general anaesthetic . All cases require a careful follow - up with an eye doctor ( ophthalmologist or optometrist ) for a number of years . Frequently , vision is greatly improved after the surgery , but even if the actual visual acuity does not improve , because the cornea is a more normal shape after the healing is completed , people can more easily be fitted with corrective lenses . Complications of corneal transplants are mostly related to vascularization of the corneal tissue and rejection of the donor cornea . Vision loss is very rare , though difficult - to - correct vision is possible . When rejection is severe , repeat transplants are often attempted , and are frequently successful . Keratoconus will not normally reoccur in the transplanted cornea ; incidences of this have been observed , but are usually attributed to incomplete excision of the original cornea or inadequate screening of the donor tissue . The long - term outlook for corneal transplants performed for keratoconus is usually favorable once the initial healing period is completed and a few years have elapsed without problems .

The scale is now usually defined by two fixed points : the temperature at which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 ° F , and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 ° F , a 180 ° F separation , as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure .

Fahrenheit

The Fahrenheit scale is a temperature scale based on one proposed in 1724 by Dutch - German - Polish physicist Daniel Gabriel Fahrenheit ( 1686 -- 1736 ) . It uses the degree Fahrenheit ( symbol : ° F ) as the unit . Several accounts of how he originally defined his scale exist . The lower defining point , 0 ° F , was established as the temperature of a solution of brine made from equal parts of ice , water and salt ( ammonium chloride ) . Further limits were established as the melting point of ice ( 32 ° F ) and his best estimate of the average human body temperature ( 96 ° F , about 2.6 ° F less than the modern value due to a later redefinition of the scale ) . The scale is now usually defined by two fixed points : the temperature at which water freezes into ice is defined as 32 ° F , and the boiling point of water is defined to be 212 ° F , a 180 ° F separation , as defined at sea level and standard atmospheric pressure .

By April 1980 , Kasdan 's fifth draft was produced , and production was getting ready to shoot at Elstree Studios , with Lucas trying to keep costs down .

Raiders of the Lost Ark

Initially , the film was rejected by every major studio in Hollywood , mostly due to the $20 million budget and the deal Lucas was offering . Eventually Paramount agreed to finance the film , with Lucas negotiating a five - picture deal . By April 1980 , Kasdan 's fifth draft was produced , and production was getting ready to shoot at Elstree Studios , with Lucas trying to keep costs down . With four illustrators , Raiders of the Lost Ark was Spielberg 's most storyboarded film of his career to date , further helping the film economically . He and Lucas agreed on a tight schedule to keep costs down and to follow the `` quick and dirty '' feel of the old Saturday matinée serials . Special effects were done using puppets , miniature models , animation , and camera trickery . `` We did n't do 30 or 40 takes ; usually only four . It was like silent film -- shoot only what you need , no waste '' , Spielberg said . `` Had I had more time and money , it would have turned out a pretentious movie . ''

Staten Island Ferry

In the past , ferries were equipped for vehicle transport , and operators charged $3 per automobile . A vehicle ban was approved in 1992 , after the Whitehall Terminal was destroyed and subsequently rebuilt without vehicle loading areas . Although the temporary terminals included car loading areas , car boarding was discontinued after the September 11 attacks . There was a plan to reinstate car boarding because of rising tolls on the Verrazano Bridge , but that was seen as infeasible due to the amount of effort needed to screen every car .

Springfield became the third and current capital of Illinois in 1839 .

Springfield, Illinois

Springfield 's original name was Calhoun , after Senator John C. Calhoun of South Carolina . The land that Springfield now occupies was originally settled by trappers and traders who came to the Sangamon River in 1818 . The settlement 's first cabin was built in 1820 , by John Kelly . It was located at what is now the northwest corner of Second Street and Jefferson Street . In 1821 , Calhoun became the county seat of Sangamon County due to fertile soil and trading opportunities . Settlers from Kentucky , Virginia , and as far as North Carolina came to the city . By 1832 , Senator Calhoun had fallen out of the favor with the public and the town renamed itself Springfield after Springfield , Massachusetts . At that time , Springfield , Massachusetts was comparable to modern - day Silicon Valley -- known for industrial innovation , concentrated prosperity , and the celebrated Springfield Armory . Most importantly , it was a city that had built itself up from frontier outpost to national power through ingenuity -- an example that the newly named Springfield , Illinois , sought to emulate . Kaskaskia was the first capital of the Illinois Territory from its organization in 1809 , continuing through statehood in 1818 , and through the first year as a state in 1819 . Vandalia was the second state capital of Illinois from 1819 to 1839 . Springfield became the third and current capital of Illinois in 1839 . The designation was largely due to the efforts of Abraham Lincoln and his associates ; nicknamed the `` Long Nine '' for their combined height of 54 feet ( 16 m ) .

Another variation of the dog story is given by Robert Hendrickson ( 1994 ) who says escaping convicts used the pungent fish to throw off hounds in pursuit .

Red herring

Prior to 2008 , the figurative sense of `` red herring '' was thought to originate from a supposed technique of training young scent hounds . There are variations of the story , but according to one version , the pungent red herring would be dragged along a trail until a puppy learned to follow the scent . Later , when the dog was being trained to follow the faint odour of a fox or a badger , the trainer would drag a red herring ( whose strong scent confuses the animal ) perpendicular to the animal 's trail to confuse the dog . The dog eventually learned to follow the original scent rather than the stronger scent . A variation of this story is given , without mention of its use in training , in The Macmillan Book of Proverbs , Maxims , and Famous Phrases ( 1976 ) , with the earliest use cited being from W.F. Butler 's Life of Napier , published in 1849 . Brewer 's Dictionary of Phrase and Fable ( 1981 ) gives the full phrase as `` Drawing a red herring across the path '' , an idiom meaning `` to divert attention from the main question by some side issue '' ; here , once again , a `` dried , smoked and salted '' herring when `` drawn across a fox 's path destroys the scent and sets the hounds at fault . '' Another variation of the dog story is given by Robert Hendrickson ( 1994 ) who says escaping convicts used the pungent fish to throw off hounds in pursuit .

Today about 50 % of drinking water comes from desalination , 40 % from the mining of non-renewable groundwater and only 10 % from surface water in the mountainous southwest of the country .

Water supply and sanitation in Saudi Arabia

Water supply and sanitation in Saudi Arabia is characterized by challenges and achievements . One of the main challenges is water scarcity . In order to overcome water scarcity , substantial investments have been undertaken in seawater desalination , water distribution , sewerage and wastewater treatment . Today about 50 % of drinking water comes from desalination , 40 % from the mining of non-renewable groundwater and only 10 % from surface water in the mountainous southwest of the country . The capital Riyadh , located in the heart of the country , is supplied with desalinated water pumped from the Persian Gulf over a distance of 467 km . Water is provided almost for free to residential users . Despite improvements , service quality remains poor , for example in terms of continuity of supply . Another challenge is weak institutional capacity and governance , reflecting general characteristics of the public sector in Saudi Arabia . Among the achievements is a significant increase in desalination , and in access to water , the expansion of wastewater treatment , as well as the use of treated effluent for the irrigation of urban green spaces , and for agriculture .

Hope Diamond

The lead cast had important ramifications since it gave enough information to curators at the French museum to commission the first exact replicas of both the Tavernier and French Blue diamonds using a material which simulates diamonds called cubic zirconia , with the help of artisans who work with gems known as lapidaries , led by Scott Sucher . These replicas have been completed and displayed with the French Crown Jewels and the Great Sapphire of Louis XIV , a Moghul - cut sapphire of 135.7 carats ( 27.14 g ) . Artisans recreated the elaborate parure of different - colored gems known as the Golden Fleece of King Louis XV of France , which is arguably the most fabulous work in the history of French jewelry ; this happened from 2007 -- 2010 . The original parure , created in 1749 by royal jeweler Pierre - André Jacqumin , was stolen and broken in 1792 . The reassembled jewel contained the French Blue and the Bazu diamonds , as well as the Côte de Bretagne spinel and hundreds of smaller diamonds . Three years of work were needed to recreate this jewel , and it required exacting and precise skill which revealed not only the skill of today 's lapidaries , but the skill of its original eighteenth - century designers . The reconstructed jewel was presented by Herbert Horovitz , with François Farges ( fr ) of the French museum in attendance , at the former Royal Storehouse in Paris on June 30 , 2010 , which was the same site where the original had been stolen 218 years before .

They also suggest that having secured veteran British horror actor Christopher Lee to play Saruman , it made sense to make greater use of his star status .

Saruman

In Peter Jackson 's film trilogy ( 2001 -- 2003 ) , Saruman is significantly more active in the first two films than in their equivalent books , and he appears in several scenes that are not depicted in Tolkien 's work . In the films , Saruman is depicted presenting himself outright as a servant of Sauron. Smith and Matthews suggest that Saruman 's role is built up as a substitute for Sauron -- the story 's main antagonist -- who never appears directly in the book . Jackson confirms this view in the commentary to the DVD . They also suggest that having secured veteran British horror actor Christopher Lee to play Saruman , it made sense to make greater use of his star status . Despite this increased role in the first two films , the scenes involving Saruman that were shot for use in the third film , The Lord of the Rings : The Return of the King , were not used in the cinematic release , a decision which `` shocked '' Lee . Jackson reasoned that it would be anticlimactic to show Saruman 's fate in the second movie ( after the Battle of Helm 's Deep ) and too retrospective for it to be in the third one . The cut scenes end with Saruman falling to his death from the top of Orthanc after being stabbed by Wormtongue and include material from the chapter The Scouring of the Shire . They are included at the start of the Extended Edition DVD release of the film .

The two sets combined provide a full complement of 46 chromosomes .

Ploidy

Humans are diploid organisms , carrying two complete sets of chromosomes : one set of 23 chromosomes from their father and one set of 23 chromosomes from their mother . The two sets combined provide a full complement of 46 chromosomes . This total number of chromosomes is called the chromosome number . The zygotic number is defined as the number of chromosomes in zygotic cells . Human zygotes are diploid , hence with a zygotic number of 46 .

Another difference is that Shikhandini does not change her sex and remains a woman , to be wed to Arjuna , and takes the role of a warrior princess during the war .

Mahabharata

Outside the Indian subcontinent , in Indonesia , a version was developed in ancient Java as Kakawin Bhāratayuddha in the 11th century under the patronage of King Dharmawangsa ( 990 -- 1016 ) and later it spread to the neighboring island of Bali , which remains a Hindu majority island today . It has become the fertile source for Javanese literature , dance drama ( wayang wong ) , and wayang shadow puppet performances . This Javanese version of the Mahābhārata differs slightly from the original Indian version . For example , Draupadi is only wed to Yudhishthira , not to all the Pandava brothers ; this might demonstrate ancient Javanese opposition to polyandry . The author later added some female characters to be wed to the Pandavas , for example , Arjuna is described as having many wives and consorts next to Subhadra . Another difference is that Shikhandini does not change her sex and remains a woman , to be wed to Arjuna , and takes the role of a warrior princess during the war . Another twist is that Gandhari is described as antagonistic character who hates the Pandavas : her hate is out of jealousy because during Gandhari 's swayamvara , she was in love with Pandu but was later wed to his blind elder brother instead , whom she did not love , so she blindfolded herself as protest . Another notable difference is the inclusion of the Punakawans , the clown servants of the main characters in the storyline . These characters include Semar , Petruk , Gareng and Bagong , who are much - loved by Indonesian audiences . There are also some spin - off episodes developed in ancient Java , such as Arjunawiwaha composed in 11th century .

Belle (Disney)

Belle 's strength and love of reading was inspired by American actress Katharine Hepburn 's performance as Jo March in the film Little Women ( 1933 ) , while the writers instilled the adventure - seeking heroine with goals and aspirations beyond romance . However , the story artists and animators often disagreed with Woolverton 's liberated vision for the character . Animated by James Baxter and Mark Henn , the former of whom based the character 's graceful gait on those of impressionist Edgar Degas ' ballerinas , Belle 's European facial features were inspired by those of British actresses Vivien Leigh and Audrey Hepburn . Several additional Hollywood actresses inspired Belle 's appearance , including Natalie Wood , Elizabeth Taylor , and Grace Kelly .

In the long run , type A individuals would develop a state of Mg deficiency , which may promote a greater sensitivity to stress and , ultimately , lead to the development of cardiovascular problems .

Type A and Type B personality theory

Maintaining healthy magnesium ( Mg ) levels in the body plays a strong role in protecting the cardiovascular health of an individual . An analysis of the literature suggests the possible role of Mg deficiency in the susceptibility to cardiovascular diseases , observed among subjects displaying a type A behavior pattern . Type A subjects are more sensitive to stress and produce more catecholamines than type B subjects . This , in turn , seems to induce an intracellular Mg loss . In the long run , type A individuals would develop a state of Mg deficiency , which may promote a greater sensitivity to stress and , ultimately , lead to the development of cardiovascular problems .

Dense regular connective tissue , found in structures such as tendons and ligaments , is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion , giving it tensile strength in one direction .

Connective tissue

Connective tissue can be broadly subdivided into connective tissue proper , and special connective tissue . Connective tissue proper consists of loose connective tissue and dense connective tissue ( which is further subdivided into dense regular and dense irregular connective tissues . ) Loose and dense connective tissue are distinguished by the ratio of ground substance to fibrous tissue . Loose connective tissue has much more ground substance and a relative lack of fibrous tissue , while the reverse is true of dense connective tissue . Dense regular connective tissue , found in structures such as tendons and ligaments , is characterized by collagen fibers arranged in an orderly parallel fashion , giving it tensile strength in one direction . Dense irregular connective tissue provides strength in multiple directions by its dense bundles of fibers arranged in all directions .

Mahabharata

Traditionally , the authorship of the Mahābhārata is attributed to Vyāsa . There have been many attempts to unravel its historical growth and compositional layers . The oldest preserved parts of the text are thought to be not much older than around 400 BCE , though the origins of the epic probably fall between the 8th and 9th centuries BCE . The text probably reached its final form by the early Gupta period ( c. 4th century CE ) . The title may be translated as `` the great tale of the Bhārata dynasty '' . According to the Mahābhārata itself , the tale is extended from a shorter version of 24,000 verses called simply Bhārata .

However , on March 31 , 2015 , the Disneyland Resort notified the band members of an `` end of run '' . The reason for doing so is that they would start a new higher energy band . The veteran band members were invited to audition for the new Disneyland band , and were told that even if they did not make the new band or audition , they would still play in small groups around the park . This sparked some controversy with supporters of the traditional band .

Elections in the United States

The eligibility of an individual for voting is set out in the constitution and also regulated at state level . The constitution states that suffrage can not be denied on grounds of race or color , sex , or age for citizens eighteen years or older . Beyond these basic qualifications , it is the responsibility of state legislatures to regulate voter eligibility . Some states ban convicted criminals , especially felons , from voting for a fixed period of time or indefinitely . The number of American adults who are currently or permanently ineligible to vote due to felony convictions is estimated to be 5.3 million . Some states also have legacy constitutional statements barring legally declared incompetent from voting ; such references are generally considered obsolete and are being considered for review or removal where they appear .

Cambrian

The Cambrian Period ( / ˈkæmbriən / or / ˈkeɪmbriən / ) was the first geological period of the Paleozoic Era , of the Phanerozoic Eon . The Cambrian lasted 55.6 million years from the end of the preceding Ediacaran Period 541 million years ago ( mya ) to the beginning of the Ordovician Period 485.4 mya . Its subdivisions , and its base , are somewhat in flux . The period was established ( as `` Cambrian series '' ) by Adam Sedgwick , who named it after Cambria , the Latinised form of Cymru , the Welsh name for Wales , where Britain 's Cambrian rocks are best exposed . The Cambrian is unique in its unusually high proportion of lagerstätte sedimentary deposits , sites of exceptional preservation where `` soft '' parts of organisms are preserved as well as their more resistant shells . As a result , our understanding of the Cambrian biology surpasses that of some later periods .

In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and various Māori chiefs , bringing New Zealand into the British Empire and giving Māori the same rights as British subjects .

History of New Zealand

The history of New Zealand dates back at least 700 years to when it was discovered and settled by Polynesians , who developed a distinct Māori culture centred on kinship links and land . The first European explorer to sight New Zealand was Dutch navigator Abel Tasman on 13 December 1642 . The Dutch were also the first non-natives to explore and chart New Zealand 's coastline . Captain James Cook , who reached New Zealand in October 1769 on the first of his three voyages , was the first European explorer to circumnavigate and map New Zealand . From the late 18th century , the country was regularly visited by explorers and other sailors , missionaries , traders and adventurers . In 1840 the Treaty of Waitangi was signed between the British Crown and various Māori chiefs , bringing New Zealand into the British Empire and giving Māori the same rights as British subjects . There was extensive British settlement throughout the rest of the century and into the early part of the next century . War and the imposition of a European economic and legal system led to most of New Zealand 's land passing from Māori to Pākehā ( European ) ownership , and most Māori subsequently became impoverished .
