Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin , which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids , a process known as proteolysis .

Gastric acid

The highly acidic environment in the stomach lumen causes proteins from food to lose their characteristic folded structure ( or denature ) . This exposes the protein 's peptide bonds . The gastric chief cells of the stomach secrete enzymes for protein breakdown ( inactive pepsinogen , and in infancy rennin ) . Hydrochloric acid activates pepsinogen into the enzyme pepsin , which then helps digestion by breaking the bonds linking amino acids , a process known as proteolysis . In addition , many microorganisms have their growth inhibited by such an acidic environment , which is helpful to prevent infection .

A clutch of one to three eggs is laid in March or April , depending upon latitude .

Red-tailed hawk

A clutch of one to three eggs is laid in March or April , depending upon latitude . Clutch size depends almost exclusively on the availability of prey for the adults . Eggs are laid approximately every other day . The eggs are usually about 60 mm × 47 mm ( 2.4 in × 1.9 in ) . They are incubated primarily by female , with the male substituting when the female leaves to hunt or merely stretch her wings . The male brings most food to the female while she incubates . After 28 to 35 days , the eggs hatch over 2 to 4 days ; the nestlings are altricial at hatching . The female broods them while the male provides most of the food to the female and the young , which are known as eyasses ( pronounced `` EYE - ess - ez '' ) . The female feeds the eyasses after tearing the food into small pieces . After 42 to 46 days , the eyasses begin to leave the nest . The fledging period follows , with short flights engaged in , after another 3 weeks . About 6 to 7 weeks after fledging , the young begin to capture their own prey . Shortly thereafter , when the young are around 4 months of age , they become independent of their parents . However , the hawks do not generally reach breeding maturity until they are around 3 years of age . In the wild , red - tailed hawks have lived for at least 25 years , for example , Pale Male was born in 1990 , and in Spring 2014 is still raising eyasses . The oldest captive hawk of this species was at least 29 and a half years of age .

I added two tracks of harpsichord , told the movers they could remove it , walked into Jerry 's office and asked if I could borrow the electric bass that was sitting on his couch , played that on just the second verse and the outro , and that was that !

Time in a Bottle

`` The night before we were going to mix , I was watching a horror movie on TV , and something must have lodged in my brain because when I walked into the studio the next day , I saw this harpsichord sitting in a corner and got an idea . A jingle company had used it on a session and in walked a couple of guys from SIR ( Studio Instruments Rental ) to haul it away . I asked them to take a lunch break and told Bruce to put a couple of mics on it . He was whining that it was out of tune , but I asked him to let me try something . I added two tracks of harpsichord , told the movers they could remove it , walked into Jerry 's office and asked if I could borrow the electric bass that was sitting on his couch , played that on just the second verse and the outro , and that was that ! Radio compression worked in our favor on that record . It made the harpsichord blend with the two guitars in an unusual way . But we thought this record would only be an album cut . ''

Spiders & Snakes (song)

The song is about a boy who , although he is shy , has a girl who likes him named Mary Lou . He makes faltering attempts to respond to her when they are alone , which finally include trying to give her a frog . She promptly protests and summarily rebuffs him . Still in school , they later develop a more mature relationship with the boy as the initiator instead of Mary Lou , but when they are once again alone she nonetheless feels the need to remind him , still nervous , that she does `` not '' like spiders and snakes , or any other such similar creatures , and that it takes something else to satisfy her loving desires .

Each member talks about progress since the last stand - up , the anticipated work until the next stand - up and any impediments , taking the opportunity to ask for help or collaborate .

Stand-up meeting

The meeting should take place at the same time and place every working day . All team members are encouraged to attend , but the meetings are not postponed if some of the team members are not present . One of the crucial features is that the meeting is a communication opportunity among team members and not a status update to management or stakeholders . Although it is sometimes referred to as a type of status meeting , the structure of the meeting is meant to promote follow - up conversation , as well as to identify issues before they become too problematic . The practice also promotes closer working relationships in its frequency , need for follow - up conversations and short structure , which in turn result in a higher rate of knowledge transfer -- a much more active intention than the typical status meeting . Team members take turns speaking , sometimes passing along a token to indicate the current person allowed to speak . Each member talks about progress since the last stand - up , the anticipated work until the next stand - up and any impediments , taking the opportunity to ask for help or collaborate .

The four photosystems absorb light energy through pigments -- primarily the chlorophylls , which are responsible for the green color of leaves .

Light-dependent reactions

The four photosystems absorb light energy through pigments -- primarily the chlorophylls , which are responsible for the green color of leaves . The light - dependent reactions begin in photosystem II . When a chlorophyll a molecule within the reaction center of PSII absorbs a photon , an electron in this molecule attains a higher energy level . Because this state of an electron is very unstable , the electron is transferred from one to another molecule creating a chain of redox reactions , called an electron transport chain ( ETC ) . The electron flow goes from PSII to cytochrome b6f to PSI . In PSI , the electron gets the energy from another photon . The final electron acceptor is NADP . In oxygenic photosynthesis , the first electron donor is water , creating oxygen as a waste product . In anoxygenic photosynthesis various electron donors are used .

The 216 - ton Russian Tsar Bell ( also known as the Tsar Kolokol III ) on display on the grounds of the Moscow Kremlin is the heaviest bell known to exist in the world today . However , a very large piece broke off from the Tsar Bell during a fire which engulfed the tower the bell was intended to be hung in , so this irreparably damaged bell has never been suspended or rung . The Tsar Bell can not be considered as the heaviest functioning bell in the world due to its inability to serve as a percussion instrument . Rather , it may be considered to be the largest bell , or at least the largest bell - shaped sculpture in the world .

The Constitution designates the Vice President of the United States as President of the United States Senate .

Party leaders of the United States Senate

The Constitution designates the Vice President of the United States as President of the United States Senate . The Constitution also calls for a President pro tempore to serve as the leader of the body when the President of the Senate ( the Vice President ) is absent . In practice , neither the Vice President nor the President pro tempore -- customarily the most senior ( longest - serving ) Senator in the majority party -- actually presides over the Senate on a daily basis ; that task is given to junior Senators of the majority party . Since the Vice President may be of a different party than the majority and is not a member subject to discipline , the rules of procedure of the Senate give the presiding officer very little power and none beyond the presiding role . For these reasons , it is the Majority Leader who , in practice , manages the Senate . This is in contrast to the House of Representatives where the elected Speaker of the House has a great deal of discretionary power and generally presides over votes on bills .

Spanish Armada

The fleet was not sighted in England until 19 July , when it appeared off The Lizard in Cornwall . The news was conveyed to London by a system of beacons that had been constructed all the way along the south coast . On that evening , the English fleet was trapped in Plymouth Harbour by the incoming tide . The Spanish convened a council of war , where it was proposed to ride into the harbour on the tide and incapacitate the defending ships at anchor and from there to attack England ; but Medina Sidonia declined to act because this had been explicitly forbidden by Philip , and decided to sail on to the east and towards the Isle of Wight . As the tide turned , 55 English ships set out to confront them from Plymouth under the command of Lord Howard of Effingham , with Sir Francis Drake as Vice Admiral . Howard ceded some control to Drake , given his experience in battle . The rear admiral was Sir John Hawkins .

River Wey

The River Wey is a tributary of the River Thames in south east England and one of two major tributaries in Surrey . It begins as two branches rising outside the county which join at Tilford between Guildford and Farnham . Once combined the flow is eastwards then northwards via Godalming and Guildford to meet the Thames while in Surrey . The main sub-tributary is the Tilling Bourne flowing from the western slopes of Leith Hill in Surrey westwards to a point just south of Guildford between the main village of Shalford and its Peasmarsh locality . Downstream the river forms the backdrop to Newark Priory and Brooklands .

Pregnancy test

Records of attempts at pregnancy testing have been found as far back as the ancient Greek and ancient Egyptian cultures . The ancient Egyptians watered bags of wheat and barley with the urine of a possibly pregnant woman . Germination indicated pregnancy . The type of grain that sprouted was taken as an indicator of the fetus 's sex . Hippocrates suggested that a woman who had missed her period should drink a solution of honey in water at bedtime : resulting abdominal distention and cramps would indicate the presence of a pregnancy . Avicenna and many physicians after him in the Middle Ages performed uroscopy , a nonscientific method to evaluate urine .

Killian thus suggests that these elements `` should not be the focus of a kickass heroine -- her beauty , bone structure , and sexiness -- if she is to be a feminist icon '' .

Wonder Woman (2017 film)

The debate continued with the release of Jenkins 's 2017 film , Wonder Woman , which according to the BBC had `` some thinking it 's too feminist and others thinking it 's not feminist enough '' . Kyle Killian found an inherent contradiction in the construction of Wonder Woman as `` a warrior '' whom , she states , is also highly sexualized . Killian thus suggests that these elements `` should not be the focus of a kickass heroine -- her beauty , bone structure , and sexiness -- if she is to be a feminist icon '' . Theresa Harold concurred , comparing Wonder Woman to Katniss Everdeen ( of The Hunger Games ) , who `` did n't have to wear a teenager 's wet dream of a costume to fight in '' . Christina Cauterucci also felt that Wonder Woman 's ability to be considered a `` feminist antidote '' was undermined by her `` sex appeal '' . Other critics refer to the construction of Wonder Woman in the film as `` an implausible post-feminist hero '' .

When we heard about the production company were going to make a movie based , as far as we knew , about Ripper joining the band we offered our help . We said ' If there 's anything you want to know , talk to us at the time . ' And certainly our communication was cut off and that was it and they went off on their own tangent . '' Hill added `` I mean , I quite enjoyed the movie . It was entertaining , you know ? '' Hill was quoted as saying `` It had nothing to do with Rob Halford , Ripper Owens and Judas Priest , it 's got nothing to do with that , whatsoever . It was fiction . Apart from the fact that ' Local Boy Makes Good ' ? That was the only true aspect of the movie . '' Hill was quick to add `` I watched it once . I do n't have the urge to watch it again . ''

So while Siluro - Devonian plants such as Rhynia and Horneophyton possessed the physiological equivalent of roots , roots -- defined as organs differentiated from stems -- did not arrive until later .

Evolutionary history of plants

But how and when did roots evolve in the first place ? While there are traces of root - like impressions in fossil soils in the Late Silurian , body fossils show the earliest plants to be devoid of roots . Many had tendrils that sprawled along or beneath the ground , with upright axes or thalli dotted here and there , and some even had non-photosynthetic subterranean branches which lacked stomata . The distinction between root and specialised branch is developmental ; true roots follow a different developmental trajectory to stems . Further , roots differ in their branching pattern , and in possession of a root cap . So while Siluro - Devonian plants such as Rhynia and Horneophyton possessed the physiological equivalent of roots , roots -- defined as organs differentiated from stems -- did not arrive until later . Unfortunately , roots are rarely preserved in the fossil record , and our understanding of their evolutionary origin is sparse .

Make a mountain out of a molehill

The idiom is a metaphor for the common behaviour of responding disproportionately to something - usually an adverse circumstance . One who `` makes a mountain out of a molehill '' is said to be greatly exaggerating the severity of the situation . In cognitive psychology , this form of distortion is called magnification or overreacting . The phrase itself is so common that a study by psychologists found that with respect to familiarity and image value , it ranks high among the 203 common sayings they tested .

If a team owed two other teams draft picks via Type A free agents , the team whose departing player had a higher score got the higher - ranked pick .

Compensatory picks that one team gave another via this method were the highest available pick that team had , with the exception of picks in the top half of the first round . These picks were protected from being used as compensation . If a team that picked in the top half of the first draft signed a Type A free agent , they would give up their second - round pick . If a team owed two other teams draft picks via Type A free agents , the team whose departing player had a higher score got the higher - ranked pick .

In Europe , the concept of banknotes was first introduced during the 13th century by travelers such as Marco Polo , with European banknotes appearing in 1661 in Sweden .

Banknote

The idea of using a durable lightweight substance as evidence of a promise to pay a bearer on demand originated in China during the Han Dynasty in 118 BC , and was made of leather . Although Carthage was purported to have issued bank notes on parchment or leather , at least before the city 's destruction in 146 BC , making Carthage the oldest known user of lightweight promissory notes. The first known banknote was first developed in China during the Tang and Song dynasties , starting in the 7th century . Its roots were in merchant receipts of deposit during the Tang Dynasty ( 618 -- 907 ) , as merchants and wholesalers desired to avoid the heavy bulk of copper coinage in large commercial transactions . During the Yuan Dynasty , banknotes were adopted by the Mongol Empire . In Europe , the concept of banknotes was first introduced during the 13th century by travelers such as Marco Polo , with European banknotes appearing in 1661 in Sweden .

Dragon Ball Z

In 1996 , Funimation Productions licensed Dragon Ball Z for an English - language release in North America . They contracted Saban Entertainment to help distribute the series to television , and Pioneer Entertainment to handle home video distribution . The Vancouver - based Ocean Studios were hired by Funimation to dub the anime ( Funimation had previously used the Ocean voice cast in their short - lived 1995 dub of Dragon Ball ) . Saban musicians Ron Wasserman and Jeremy Sweet , known for their work on the Power Rangers franchise , composed a new background score and theme song ( nicknamed `` Rock the Dragon '' ) . Funimation 's initial English dub of Dragon Ball Z had mandated cuts to content and length , which reduced the first 67 episodes into 53 . It premiered in the United States on September 13 , 1996 in first - run syndication , but halted production in 1998 after two seasons . This was due to Saban scaling down its syndication operations , in order to focus on producing original material for the Fox Kids block . Pioneer also ceased its home video release of the series at volume 17 ( the end of the dub ) and retained the rights to produce an uncut subtitled version , but did not do so .

Signing of the United States Declaration of Independence

Legal historian Wilfred Ritz concluded in 1986 that about 34 delegates signed the Declaration on July 4 , and that the others signed on or after August 2 . Ritz argued that the engrossed copy of the Declaration was signed by Congress on July 4 , as Jefferson , Adams , and Franklin had stated , and that it was implausible that all three men had been mistaken . Ritz believed that McKean 's testimony was questionable , and that historians had misinterpreted the July 19 resolution . According to Ritz , this resolution did not call for a new document to be created , but rather for the existing one to be given a new title , which was necessary after New York had joined the other 12 states in declaring independence . Ritz reasoned that the phrase `` signed by every member of Congress '' in the July 19 resolution meant that delegates who had not signed the Declaration on the 4th were now required to do so .

Christmas carol

In the 13th century , in France , Germany , and particularly , Italy , under the influence of Francis of Assisi a strong tradition of popular Christmas songs in regional native languages developed . Christmas carols in English first appear in a 1426 work of John Awdlay , a Shropshire chaplain , who lists twenty five `` caroles of Cristemas '' , probably sung by groups of ' wassailers ' , who went from house to house . The songs we know specifically as carols were originally communal songs sung during celebrations like harvest tide as well as Christmas . It was only later that carols began to be sung in church , and to be specifically associated with Christmas .

Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

After he starred in Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee and guest starred as Detective Chester Lake in the eighth season , Wolf felt that Adam Beach would be a good addition to the cast and asked him to be a permanent member beginning with the ninth season . Although Beach felt the role was a `` dream role '' , the character proved unpopular with fans who felt that he was designed to gradually write out either Richard Belzer or Ice - T. Feeling there were too many police characters on the show , Beach left the show after only one season . Michaela McManus was originally felt to be too young for the role of an Assistant District Attorney ( ADA ) before being cast as ADA Kim Greylek in the tenth season . McManus , months removed from a recurring role on One Tree Hill , remained with the series only half a season , however , before departing for unspecified reasons .

Later , William Shakespeare called public opinion the ' mistress of success ' and Blaise Pascal thought it was ' the queen of the world . '

Public opinion

The emergence of public opinion as a significant force in the political realm can be dated to the late 17th century . However , opinion had been regarded as having singular importance since far earlier . Medieval fama publica or vox et fama communis had great legal and social importance from the 12th and 13th centuries onward . Later , William Shakespeare called public opinion the ' mistress of success ' and Blaise Pascal thought it was ' the queen of the world . ' John Locke in his treatise An Essay Concerning Human Understanding considered that man was subject to three laws : the divine law , the civil law , and most importantly in Locke 's judgement , the law of opinion or reputation . He regarded the latter as of the highest importance because dislike and ill - opinion force people to conform in their behaviour to social norms , however he did n't consider public opinion as a suitable influence for governments .

When excess tears are produced , the liquid drains through the inner corner of the eyelids , through the nasolacrimal duct , and into the nasal cavities .

Rhinorrhea

Rhinorrhea is also associated with shedding tears , whether from emotional events or from eye irritation . When excess tears are produced , the liquid drains through the inner corner of the eyelids , through the nasolacrimal duct , and into the nasal cavities . As more tears are shed , more liquid flows into the nasal cavities , both stimulating mucus production and hydrating any dry mucus already present in the nasal cavity . The buildup of fluid is usually resolved via mucus expulsion through the nostrils .

The company argued that government figures do not reflect over 810,000 barrels ( 34 million US gal ; 129,000 m ) of oil that was collected or burned before it could enter the Gulf waters .

Deepwater Horizon oil spill

The oil leak was discovered on the afternoon of 22 April 2010 when a large oil slick began to spread at the former rig site . The oil flowed for 87 days . BP originally estimated a flow rate of 1,000 to 5,000 barrels per day ( 160 to 790 m / d ) . The Flow Rate Technical Group ( FRTG ) estimated the initial flow rate was 62,000 barrels per day ( 9,900 m / d ) . The total estimated volume of leaked oil approximated 4.9 million barrels ( 210 million US gal ; 780,000 m ) with plus or minus 10 % uncertainty , including oil that was collected , making it the world 's largest accidental spill . BP challenged the higher figure , saying that the government overestimated the volume . Internal emails released in 2013 showed that one BP employee had estimates that matched those of the FRTG , and shared the data with supervisors , but BP continued with their lower number . The company argued that government figures do not reflect over 810,000 barrels ( 34 million US gal ; 129,000 m ) of oil that was collected or burned before it could enter the Gulf waters .

On affirming his loyalty to the King - Beyond - the - Wall , Mance Rayder , he travels toward the Wall with the wildlings and is seduced by one , the flame - haired Ygritte .

List of Game of Thrones characters

Jon Snow of House Stark and the Night 's Watch is the secret son of Rhaegar Targaryen and Lyanna Stark , though raised as the bastard son of Lyanna 's brother , Ned Stark . In the first season , Jon joins the Night 's Watch . Jon is a talented fighter , but his sense of compassion and justice brings him into conflict with his harsh surroundings . Ned claims that Jon 's mother was a wet nurse named Wylla . His dire wolf is called Ghost due to his albinism and quiet nature . Jon soon learns that the Watch is no longer a glorious order , but is now composed mostly of society 's rejects , including criminals and exiles . Initially , he has only contempt for his low - born brothers of the Watch , but he puts aside his prejudices and befriends his fellow recruits , especially Samwell Tarly , after they unite against the cruel master - at - arms , Ser Alliser Thorne . He chooses to take his vows before the Old Gods of the North , and to his disappointment he is made steward to Lord Commander Jeor Mormont rather than a ranger . He eventually realizes that he is being groomed for command . He saves Mormont 's life by slaying a wight , a corpse resurrected by the White Walkers . In return , he receives Longclaw , the ancestral blade of House Mormont . When Eddard is arrested for treason , Jon is torn between his family and his vows . After Eddard 's execution , he tries to join Robb 's army but is convinced to come back by his friends . Shortly after , he joins the large force Mormont leads beyond the Wall . Jon is part of a small scouting party in Season 2 . When the party is overtaken by wildlings , Jon is ordered to appear to defect and join the wildlings so he can discover their plans . On affirming his loyalty to the King - Beyond - the - Wall , Mance Rayder , he travels toward the Wall with the wildlings and is seduced by one , the flame - haired Ygritte . Upon crossing the wall , he refuses to behead a farmer whose escape might alert the Night 's Watch of their coming , and is subsequently branded an enemy of the wildlings . Ygritte shields him from her comrades but ultimately confronts and injures Jon when he stops to drink . He manages to escape back to the wall , injured by three arrows , where he reunites with his comrades and informs the commanders of Mance Rayder 's plans . Jon subsequently resumes his training at the Wall and suggests an expedition to Craster 's Keep in order to kill the Night 's Watch mutineers who may tell Mance of the Wall 's weak defences if caught . Jon 's request is granted and he bands together a group of rangers to aid him , among them the new recruit Locke , who has actually come to kill Jon on Roose Bolton 's orders . Jon successfully attacks Craster 's Keep and kills the mutineers , while Locke is killed by Hodor during an attempt to kill Bran , who was captive at Craster 's Keep . However , Jon 's proposal to barricade the entrance to Castle Black to stop the wildlings from entering is denied . He survives the wildling attack on Castle Black , personally killing Styr and taking Tormund Giantsbane prisoner . In the aftermath , he departs Castle Black to hunt down Mance Rayder , giving his sword to Sam . He quickly locates Mance on the pretence of parleying , but he is found out . Before he is killed , however , Jon is saved by the timely arrival by Stannis Baratheon , who places Mance and his men under arrest , and accompanies Jon back to Castle Black . Jon later burns Ygritte 's body in the woods . In Season 5 , Stannis attempts to use Jon as an intermediary between himself and Mance , hoping to rally the wildling army to help him retake the North from Roose Bolton and gain Jon 's support in avenging his family . Jon fails to convince Mance , and when Mance is burned at the stake by Stannis ' red priestess Melisandre , Jon shoots him from afar to give him a quick death . After that Jon is chastised by Stannis for showing mercy to Mance . Stannis shows Jon a letter he received from Bear Island , stating that former Lord Commander Jeor Mormont 's relatives will only recognize a Stark as their King . Ser Davos tells Jon that the Night 's Watch will elect a new Lord Commander that night , and that it is almost assured that Ser Alliser will win . Stannis asks Jon to kneel before him and pledge his life to him , and in exchange he will legitimize Jon , making him Jon Stark , and giving him Winterfell . In the great hall , Jon tells Sam that he will refuse Stannis 's offer , as he swore an oath to the Night 's Watch . After Ser Alliser and Denys Mallister are announced as possible candidates , Sam gives a speech imploring his brothers to vote for Jon , reminding them all how he led the mission to Craster 's Keep to avenge Commander Mormont 's death and how he led the defense of Castle Black . After the voting is complete , the ballots are tallied and show a tie between Jon and Ser Alliser . Maester Aemon casts the deciding vote in favor of Jon , making him the new Lord Commander of the Night 's Watch . To lessen the animosity between the two , Jon makes Ser Alliser First Ranger . Melisandre takes an interest in Jon , visiting him in his quarters and trying to have sex with him . Jon refuses , out of respect for Ygritte and his Night 's Watch vows . Jon makes plans to give the wildlings the lands south of the wall , known as `` the gift . '' He wants the Night 's Watch and the wildlings to unite against the threat of the White Walkers . These more liberal views are not taken well by the men of the Night 's Watch , in particular Ser Alliser and a young boy named Olly , whose village was massacred by wildlings . Jon then makes a trip north of the Wall to the wildling village of Hardhome , where he hopes to get the wildlings to join his cause . However , before many of them can get on boats to leave , a massive group of White Walkers arrives on the scene . A massive battle ensues , in which many wildlings are killed . The last remaining Night 's Watchmen and wildlings , including Jon , depart from Hardhome , defeated . As they return to the Wall , they are let in by Ser Alliser Thorne , who disapproves of his drastic action of joining forces with the wildlings . Shortly after , Jon sends Sam and Gilly to safety in Oldtown , approving of their relationship and Sam 's motives of keeping her safe . He is later approached by Davos asking for men , and later Melisandre , whose silence confirms Stannis 's defeat . That evening , Jon is met by Olly who claims that a range has arrived with knowledge of Jon 's uncle Benjen . However , Jon discovers that he has been fooled and a group of mutineers , led by Ser Alliser Thorne , stab Jon repeatedly , with Olly dealing the final blow , leaving him to die in the snow . In season 6 , Jon 's body is discovered and protected by Davos and his loyal brothers . After the mutineers are dealt with , Jon is resurrected by Melisandre and has the mutineers executed before resigning from the Night 's Watch . Shortly afterwards , he is reunited with Sansa , who fled for the Wall to escape from Ramsay Bolton . Though initially reluctant , Jon decides to take Winterfell back from Ramsay after Ramsay sends him a threatening letter demanding Sansa 's return on threat of murdering Rickon . Securing help from several Northern houses , Jon attacks Winterfell and manages to overcome the Bolton army thanks to the Knights of the Vale , though Rickon is killed in the process . Jon breaches Winterfell and almost kills Ramsay , but takes him prisoner and leaves Sansa to finish him . In the aftermath , Jon is named the new King in the North by the Northern Lords . In season 7 Jon refuses to be as ruthless as Sansa and other lords expect , letting the children of the treacherous Northern Lords who had fought for the Boltons keep their ancestral homes . Believing that the North is not strong enough to stand alone against the White Walkers and their army , he goes to Dragonstone to persuade Daenerys Targaryen to help . She is hospitable and interested in an alliance but his refusal to bend the knee to her as a condition of the alliance is a sticking point . Jon meets Theon and wants to kill him but restrains himself because Theon had eventually helped Sansa to escape the Boltons . Later Jon appears to forgive Theon , telling the conflicted Theon that he can be both Greyjoy and Stark . Jon decides that the only way to convince Daenerys and the other houses of Westeros of the White Walker threat is to capture a wight and display it in the south . He takes a group of comrades north of the Wall and they capture a wight but are surrounded by an army too large to fight . Jon orders a raven to be sent and they wait on an island while thousands of wights line the shore waiting for the water to freeze . Daenerys arrives and most of the party climb on her dragon and are saved , but they are forced to leave while Jon is still fighting . Expecting to die , he is saved by the arrival of his uncle Benjen who sacrifices himself to send Jon to safety . Jon wakes on Daenerys ' ship , and tells her he will bend the knee . They make love . Meanwhile at Winterfell Sam and Bran share pieces of information until they both realise that Jon is the legitimate son of Rhaegar Targaryen and his willing bride Lyanna Stark , and that this makes him the rightful heir to the Iron Throne .

Coinage of India

The first coins in India were minted around the 6th century BCE by the Mahajanapadas of the Indo - Gangetic Plain , and certainly before the invasion of Alexander the Great in the 4th century BCE . The coins of this period were punch - marked coins called Puranas , Karshapanas or Pana . Several of these coins had a single symbol , for example , Saurashtra had a humped bull , and Dakshin Panchala had a Swastika , others , like Magadha , had several symbols . These coins were made of silver of a standard weight but with an irregular shape . This was gained by cutting up silver bars and then making the correct weight by cutting the edges of the coin .

Mount St. Helens

With the recent volcanic activity starting in 2004 , the glacier lobes were pushed aside and upward by the growth of new volcanic domes . The surface of the glacier , once mostly without crevasses , turned into a chaotic jumble of icefalls heavily criss - crossed with crevasses and seracs caused by movement of the crater floor . The new domes have almost separated the Crater Glacier into an eastern and western lobe . Despite the volcanic activity , the termini of the glacier have still advanced , with a slight advance on the western lobe and a more considerable advance on the more shaded eastern lobe . Due to the advance , two lobes of the glacier joined together in late May 2008 and thus the glacier completely surrounds the lava domes . In addition , since 2004 , new glaciers have formed on the crater wall above Crater Glacier feeding rock and ice onto its surface below ; there are two rock glaciers to the north of the eastern lobe of Crater Glacier . Crater Glacier is the only known advancing glacier in the contiguous United States .
