As such , it can be inferred by virtue of a position held by an agent .

Law of agency

Implied actual authority , also called `` usual authority '' , is authority an agent has by virtue of being reasonably necessary to carry out his express authority . As such , it can be inferred by virtue of a position held by an agent . For example , partners have authority to bind the other partners in the firm , their liability being joint and several , and in a corporation , all executives and senior employees with decision - making authority by virtue of their position have authority to bind the corporation . Other forms of implied actual authority include customary authority . This is where customs of a trade imply the agent to have certain powers . In wool buying industries it is customary for traders to purchase in their own names . Also incidental authority , where an agent is supposed to have any authority to complete other tasks which are necessary and incidental to completing the express actual authority . This must be no more than necessary

Between the end of November 2017 and 24 December 58,845 patients waited 30 minutes or longer in ambulances and of them , 12,188 waited over an hour .

National Health Service (England)

The NHS was severely stretched in winter 2016 - 17 and the situation was worse in 2017 - 18 . England , Wales and Northern Ireland missed every one of their three key targets ( cancer care , operations and A&E ) over 18 months . Patients are waiting longer for treatment . 6,932 patients waited more than 3 hours in A&E in October 2010 , but this rose to 45,532 patients in October 2017 . Between the end of November 2017 and 24 December 58,845 patients waited 30 minutes or longer in ambulances and of them , 12,188 waited over an hour . Ambulance crews waiting with patients that can not be handed over to hard pressed hospital staff are unable to respond to further emergencies in the community . Seriously ill patients sometimes must wait hours for an ambulance ( waiting time should not exceed 8 minutes ) and this may be causing deaths . Intensive care units send patients to other hospitals due to lack of beds . 79 % of intensive care consutants fear patient care can suffer due to staff shortages . Just under 600,000 ambulances had to wait longer than 15 minutes before they could hand a patient over to A&E staff in the three months to April 2018 . Senior people in charge of acute , urgent and emergency care at NHS regulators wrote to all NHS trusts explaining the dangers of delayed handovers clearly . They emphasized , `` Acute trusts must always accept handover of patients within 15 minutes of an ambulance arriving at the emergency department ( ED ) . Leaving patients waiting in ambulances or in a corridor supervised by ambulance personnel is inappropriate . Delays in handover of patients from ambulance services to EDs result in : increased risk to patients on site due to delays in diagnosis and treatment ( and ) increased risk in the community because fewer ambulances are available to respond . The patients in the urgent care pathway who are at the highest risk of preventable harm are those for whom a high - priority 999 emergency call has been received , but no ambulance resource is available for dispatch .

Orchestra

Orchestras are usually led by a conductor who directs the performance with movements of the hands and arms , often made easier for the musicians to see by use of a conductor 's baton . The conductor unifies the orchestra , sets the tempo and shapes the sound of the ensemble . The conductor also prepares the orchestra by leading rehearsals before the public concert , in which the conductor provides instructions to the musicians on their interpretation of the music being performed .

Nashville Predators

The mascot of the Predators is Gnash , a blue saber - toothed cat . Introduced in 1998 , Gnash 's trademark includes stunts , such as very fast rappels , zip lines , and a pendulum swing that takes him under the scoreboard and just inches off the ice . To go along with the saber - toothed cat mascot , Predators fans proudly use their Fang Fingers during each power play of the game . There are foam saber - fang gloves that can be purchased , but most fans simply curl their index and middle fingers on each hand into fang shapes and brandish them in an up - and - down motion . Fang Fingers are done to the horror sounds from the Alfred Hitchcock movie , Psycho .

It sought anti-communist resolutions at the annual meetings of the Pan American Union ( renamed the Organization of American States ( OAS ) in 1948 ) and paid special attention to the growth of left - wing forces in Guatemala .

Origins of the Cold War

During World War II , the United States military operations had widespread support across Latin America , except for Argentina . After 1947 , with the Cold War emerging in Europe , Washington made repeated efforts to encourage all the Latin American countries to take a Cold War anti-Communist position . They were reluctant to do so -- for example , only Colombia sent soldiers to the United Nations contingent in the Korean War . The Soviet Union was quite weak across Latin America . Not until the late 1950s did Moscow achieve diplomatic or commercial relationships with most Latin American countries. , Before then it had only two trade agreements ( with Argentina and Mexico . ) The communist movements that had existed in Brazil and elsewhere in the 1930s had been disbanded or outlawed . Washington exaggerated the dangers , and decided on a preemptive attack against a possible communist threat . It sought anti-communist resolutions at the annual meetings of the Pan American Union ( renamed the Organization of American States ( OAS ) in 1948 ) and paid special attention to the growth of left - wing forces in Guatemala . A compromise was reached whereby the Latin American states agreed on vague statements of support for the American Cold War position , and the United States provided expanded financial grants and loans to stimulate economic growth . In 1954 , at the 10th Inter-American Conference in Caracas , Washington demanded a resolution that the establishment of a communist government in any American state was a threat to the peace of the hemisphere . Guatemala cast the only negative vote . Guatemala 's military , with CIA encouragement , overthrew its left - wing government later that year . Fidel Castro engineered his revolutionary takeover of Cuba in 1957 - 58 with very little Soviet support . The United States and the smaller Latin countries , outvoted the larger powers by the required two - thirds majority in 1962 to identify Cuba as a communist regime and suspend it from the OAS .

Petticoat Junction

Benaderet was quite popular with viewers , and her fan mail increased during her illness as she received many get - well cards and letters from fans . In the first five years of Petticoat Junction , she was undisputably the star of the show . As a result , the absence of her character had to be handled delicately . In the 1950s and ' 60s , it was almost unheard of for a main character on a television show to pass away , particularly on a situation comedy . The producers and CBS decided to continue the show , and Kate Bradley continued to be referred to as being `` out of town . '' Benaderet 's name was removed from the opening credits and Edgar Buchanan received star billing for the remainder of the series . Referring to the hotel , the opening theme lyrics were changed from `` It is run by Kate , come and be her guest '' to `` It is run by Joe , come and be his guest '' . Although Petticoat Junction was still beloved by fans , the central premise of a country family was lost without a motherly figure . The long absence of Kate was only mentioned once in passing during the final two seasons . In the season - seven premiere `` Make Room For Baby '' , the Bradley sisters and baby Kathy Jo return from swimming in the water tower . Steve has paternal qualms about his daughter 's safety , to which Billie Jo and Bobbie Jo wistfully reply : `` Mom taught all of us to swim before we could walk . And in the same old water tower , too . ''

Orbit of the Moon

About 1000 BC , the Babylonians were the first human civilization known to have kept a consistent record of lunar observations . Clay tablets from that period , which have been found over the territory of present - day Iraq , are inscribed with cuneiform writing recording the times and dates of moonrises and moonsets , the stars that the Moon passed close by , and the time differences between rising and setting of both the Sun and the Moon around the time of the full moon . Babylonian astronomy discovered the three main periods of the Moon 's motion and used data analysis to build lunar calendars that extended well into the future . This use of detailed , systematic observations to make predictions based on experimental data may be classified as the first scientific study in human history . However , the Babylonians seem to have lacked any geometrical or physical interpretation of their data , and they could not predict future lunar eclipses ( although `` warnings '' were issued before likely eclipse times ) .

Trinity (nuclear test)

The Gadget was hoisted to the top of a 100 - foot ( 30 m ) steel tower . The height would give a better indication of how the weapon would behave when dropped from a bomber , as detonation in the air would maximize the amount of energy applied directly to the target ( as the explosion expanded in a spherical shape ) and would generate less nuclear fallout . The tower stood on four legs that went 20 feet ( 6.1 m ) into the ground , with concrete footings . Atop it was an oak platform , and a shack made of corrugated iron that was open on the western side . The Gadget was hauled up with an electric winch . A truckload of mattresses was placed underneath in case the cable broke and the Gadget fell . The seven man arming party , consisting of Bainbridge , Kistiakowsky , Joseph McKibben and four soldiers including Lieutenant Bush , drove out to the tower to perform the final arming shortly after 22 : 00 on July 15 .

The Chicago Bears have won the second most overall championships with nine ( 9 ) ( eight NFL championships , one Super Bowl championship ) .

History of the National Football League championship

From 1966 -- 1969 prior to the merger in 1970 , the NFL and the AFL agreed to hold an ultimate championship game , first called the AFL - NFL World Championship Game and later renamed the Super Bowl after 1968 . Following the merger in 1970 , the Super Bowl name continued as the game to determine the NFL champion . The most important factor of the merger was that all ten AFL teams joined the NFL in 1970 and every AFL championship game and record is included in NFL record books . The old NFL Championship Game became the NFC Championship Game , while the old AFL Championship Game became the AFC Championship Game . The NFL lists the old AFL / NFL championship games with `` new '' AFC / NFC championship games in its record books . The Green Bay Packers have won the most championships with 13 total ( 9 NFL championships pre-merger , four ( 4 ) Super Bowl championships ) . The Packers are also the only team to win three consecutive championships , having done so twice ( 1929 -- 1931 , 1965 -- 1967 ) . The Chicago Bears have won the second most overall championships with nine ( 9 ) ( eight NFL championships , one Super Bowl championship ) .

Each electron donor will pass electrons to a more electronegative acceptor , which in turn donates these electrons to another acceptor , a process that continues down the series until electrons are passed to oxygen , the most electronegative and terminal electron acceptor in the chain .

Electron transport chain

Most eukaryotic cells have mitochondria , which produce ATP from products of the citric acid cycle , fatty acid oxidation , and amino acid oxidation . At the mitochondrial inner membrane , electrons from NADH and FADH2 pass through the electron transport chain to oxygen , which is reduced to water . The electron transport chain comprises an enzymatic series of electron donors and acceptors . Each electron donor will pass electrons to a more electronegative acceptor , which in turn donates these electrons to another acceptor , a process that continues down the series until electrons are passed to oxygen , the most electronegative and terminal electron acceptor in the chain . Passage of electrons between donor and acceptor releases energy , which is used to generate a proton gradient across the mitochondrial membrane by actively `` pumping '' protons into the intermembrane space , producing a thermodynamic state that has the potential to do work . The entire process is called oxidative phosphorylation , since ADP is phosphorylated to ATP using the energy of hydrogen oxidation in many steps .

Meanwhile , Bustle 's Mary Grace Garis also commended Belle 's aspirations and love of reading , but criticized her relationship with the Beast , concluding , `` Though the ' 90s showed a move toward princesses wanting to buck conventions and free themselves from their fathers ( or the town misogynist ) the endgame is the still the same , elaborating , `` When the movie ends , they 're still solidly with a man , their dreams of adventure abandoned .

Belle (Disney)

Commentators have generally reacted more cynically towards Belle 's relationship with the film 's male characters , particularly the Beast , questioning its morality . Writing for the University of Central Florida , Faith Dickens felt that after Belle 's introduction , the character becomes little more than `` a vehicle for exploring the Beast 's dilemmas , '' while her initial pining for adventure is replaced by romance . Dickens went on to criticize the fact that while Belle appears to be `` perfect the way she is , '' the Beast `` need ( s ) to be reformed . '' Anna E. Altmann , author of Tales , Then and Now : More Folktales as Literary Fictions for Young Adults , disliked the fact that Belle appears to share a motherly relationship with both the Beast and Maurice . Altman also panned the fact that Belle 's interest in reading appears to be limited to fairy tales , ultimately dismissing the character as little more than `` a feisty North American version of '' Beaumont 's heroine . Orange Coast writer Henry A. Giroux felt that Belle serves as little more than `` a prop for resolving the Beast 's problems . '' Sonia Saraiya of Nerve ranked Belle the sixth most feminist Disney Princess , writing that , unlike Ariel , `` Belle 's sass does n't come from teenage rebellion , but rather from intellectual acuity . '' Saraiya commended Belle for resisting `` her village 's expectations of what her life should look like , '' crediting her with being `` the first princess to express some skepticism about married life . '' While calling Belle 's sacrifice `` brave , '' the author also labeled it `` not much of a step for womankind , '' in the end accusing her of falling `` for a domineering man . '' Similarly , Kit Steinkellner of HelloGiggles expressed concern over the `` abusive undercurrents running through Belle and Beast 's relationship . '' Meanwhile , Bustle 's Mary Grace Garis also commended Belle 's aspirations and love of reading , but criticized her relationship with the Beast , concluding , `` Though the ' 90s showed a move toward princesses wanting to buck conventions and free themselves from their fathers ( or the town misogynist ) the endgame is the still the same , elaborating , `` When the movie ends , they 're still solidly with a man , their dreams of adventure abandoned . Therefore , the Disney renaissance is characterized more by theoretical want of adventure rather than a genuine pursuit . ''

The ' Proposals ' of the Bryce Group were circulated widely , both in England and the US , where they had a profound influence on the nascent international movement .

League of Nations

At the start of the First World War the first schemes for international organisation to prevent future wars began to gain considerable public support , particularly in Great Britain and the United States . Goldsworthy Lowes Dickinson , a British political scientist , coined the term `` League of Nations '' in 1914 and drafted a scheme for its organisation . Together with Lord Bryce , he played a leading role in the founding of the group of internationalist pacifists known as the Bryce Group , later the League of Nations Union . The group became steadily more influential among the public and as a pressure group within the then governing Liberal Party . In Dickinson 's 1915 pamphlet After the War he wrote of his `` League of Peace '' as being essentially an organisation for arbitration and conciliation . He felt that the secret diplomacy of the early twentieth century had brought about war and thus could write that , `` the impossibility of war , I believe , would be increased in proportion as the issues of foreign policy should be known to and controlled by public opinion . '' The ' Proposals ' of the Bryce Group were circulated widely , both in England and the US , where they had a profound influence on the nascent international movement .

Elections in the United States

The primary and caucus season in Presidential elections lasts from the Iowa caucus in January to the last primaries in June . Front - loading - when larger numbers of contests take place in the opening weeks of the season -- can have an effect on the nomination process , potentially reducing the number of realistic candidates , as fund - raisers and donors quickly abandon those they see as untenable . However , it is not the case that the successful candidate is always the candidate that does the best in the early primaries . There is also a period dubbed the `` invisible primary '' that takes place before the primary season , when candidates attempt to solicit media coverage and funding well before the real primary season begins .

Reserve currency

The Dutch guilder emerged as a de facto world currency in the 18th century due to unprecedented domination of trade by the Dutch East India Company . However , the development of the modern concept of a reserve currency took place in the mid nineteenth century , with the introduction of national central banks and treasuries and an increasingly integrated global economy . By the 1860s , most industrialised countries had followed the lead of the United Kingdom and put their currency on to the gold standard . At that point the UK was the primary exporter of manufactured goods and services and over 60 % of world trade was invoiced in pound sterling . British banks were also expanding overseas , London was the world centre for insurance and commodity markets and British capital was the leading source of foreign investment around the world ; sterling soon became the standard currency used for international commercial transactions .

Kickball

Published in April 1922 , Daniel Chase ; Supervisor of Physical Education for the New York State Department of Education , describes the earliest known account of adults playing kickball . This game took place at a conference of rural teachers in Mooers Forks , Clinton County , NY where Daniel was teaching games that the teachers could in turn teach to their pupils . They did not have a ball , so they made one out of an old stocking and some rags . The ball was about 7 to 8 inches long and tied off with an old shoelace . The construction of this makeshift ball was demonstrated to the rural teachers by Mr. Braddock Wells . The teachers were assigned numbers to create teams ; odd numbers on one team and even numbers on the other . The team captains chose college names to represent each team name . The odds chose Yale & the evens chose Princeton . The game of `` Kick Baseball '' was the last game they played at the conference to decide the championship for the day . 10 players were chosen for each team and the remaining were organized into a cheering section . Yale kicked first . On the field there was no pitcher , but an extra short - stop between first and second . Only three innings were completed in the heat that day , with Yale ending up as the victor winning 3 to 2 . The cheering sections showed great sportsmanship , applauding all good plays impartially .

Though Elizabeth is portrayed as intelligent , she often misjudges people around her because of her naivety - for example , misunderstanding the social pressures on her friend Charlotte to get married , is taken in completely for a time by Wickham and misjudges Darcy 's character .

Elizabeth Bennet

Susan Morgan regards Elizabeth 's major flaw to be that she is `` morally disengaged '' - taking much of her philosophy from her father , Elizabeth observes her neighbours , never becoming morally obligated to make a stand . Elizabeth sees herself as an ironic observer of the world , making fun of those around her . Bennett 's self - destination is one of skepticism and opposition to the world around her , and much of the novel concerns Bennett 's struggle to find her own place in a world she rejects . At one point , Elizabeth tells Darcy : `` Follies and nonsense , whims and inconsistencies do divert me , I own , and I laught at them whenever I can '' . Though Elizabeth is portrayed as intelligent , she often misjudges people around her because of her naivety - for example , misunderstanding the social pressures on her friend Charlotte to get married , is taken in completely for a time by Wickham and misjudges Darcy 's character .

Note : PLC ( phospholipase C ) is not an intermediate , as possibly suggested by the diagram , but is the enzyme that catalyzes the IP3 / DAG separation .

Fatty acid metabolism

An example of a diacyl - glycerol shown on the right . This DAG is 1 - palmitoyl - 2 - oleoyl - glycerol , which contains side - chains derived from palmitic acid and oleic acid . Diacylglycerols can also have many other combinations of fatty acids attached at either the C - 1 and C - 2 positions or the C - 1 and C - 3 positions of the glycerol molecule . 1 , 2 disubstituted glycerols are always chiral , 1 , 3 disubstituted glycerols are chiral if the substituents are different from each other . </P> PIP cleavage to IP and DAG . IP initiates intracellular calcium release , while DAG activates PKC ( protein kinase C ) . Note : PLC ( phospholipase C ) is not an intermediate , as possibly suggested by the diagram , but is the enzyme that catalyzes the IP3 / DAG separation . <P> Inositol trisphosphate ( IP ) functions as an intracellular second messenger , which initiates the intracellular release of calcium ions ( which activates intracellular enzymes , causes the release of hormones and neurotransmitters from the cells in which they are stored , and causes smooth muscle contraction when released by IP ) , and the activation of protein kinase C ( PKC ) , which is then translocated from the cell cytoplasm to the cell membrane . Although inositol trisphosphate , ( IP ) , diffuses into the cytosol , diacylglycerol ( DAG ) remains within the plasma membrane , due to its hydrophobic properties . IP stimulates the release of calcium ions from the smooth endoplasmic reticulum , whereas DAG is a physiological activator of protein kinase C ( PKC ) , promoting its translocation from the cytosol to the plasma membrane . PKC is a multifunctional protein kinase which phosphorylates serine and threonine residues in many target proteins . However PKC is only active in the presence of calcium ions , and it is DAG that increases the affinity of PKC for Ca and thereby renders it active at the physiological intracellular levels of this ion .

By emerging victorious from conflicts , Britain has often been able to decisively influence world events . Since the end of the British Empire , the UK has remained a major military power . Following the end of the Cold War , defence policy has a stated assumption that `` the most demanding operations '' will be undertaken as part of a coalition .

The ability to block a measure through extended debate was an inadvertent side effect of an 1806 rule change , and was infrequently used during much of the 19th and 20th centuries .

Filibuster in the United States Senate

The ability to block a measure through extended debate was an inadvertent side effect of an 1806 rule change , and was infrequently used during much of the 19th and 20th centuries . In 1970 , the Senate adopted a `` two - track '' procedure to prevent filibusters from stopping all other Senate business . The minority then felt politically safer in threatening filibusters more regularly , which became normalized over time to the point that 60 votes are now required to end debate on nearly every controversial legislative item . As a result , the modern `` filibuster '' rarely manifests as an extended floor debate . Instead , `` the contemporary Senate has morphed into a 60 - vote institution -- the new normal for approving measures or matters -- a fundamental transformation from earlier years . '' This effective supermajority requirement has had very significant policy and political impacts on Congress and the other branches of government .

By Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) calculations the lowest income quintile ( 0 - 20 % ) and second quintile ( 21 - 40 % ) of households in the U.S. pay an average federal income tax of - 9.3 % and - 2.6 % of income and Social Security taxes of 8.3 % and 7.9 % of income respectively .

Social Security (United States)

Social Security 's benefit formula provides 90 % of average indexed monthly earnings ( AIME ) below the first `` bend point '' of $791 / month , 32 % of AIME between the first and second bend points $791 to $4781 / month , and 15 % of AIME in excess of the second bend point up to the Ceiling cap of $113,700 in 2013 . The low income bias of the benefit calculation means that lower paid worker receives a much higher percentage of his or her salary in benefit payments than higher paid workers . Indeed , a married low salaried worker can receive over 100 % of their salary in benefits after retiring at the full retirement age . High - salaried workers receive 43 % or less of their salary in benefits despite having paid into the `` system '' at the same rate -- ( see benefit calculations above . ) To minimize the impact of Social Security taxes on low salaried workers the Earned Income Tax Credit '' and the Child Care Tax Credit were passed , which largely refund the FICA and or SECA payments of low - salaried workers through the income tax system . By Congressional Budget Office ( CBO ) calculations the lowest income quintile ( 0 - 20 % ) and second quintile ( 21 - 40 % ) of households in the U.S. pay an average federal income tax of - 9.3 % and - 2.6 % of income and Social Security taxes of 8.3 % and 7.9 % of income respectively . By CBO calculations the household incomes in the first quintile and second quintile have an average total federal tax rate of 1.0 % and 3.8 % respectively . However , these groups also have by far the smallest percentage of American household incomes -- the first quintile earns just 3.2 % of all income , while the second quintile earns only 8.4 % of all income . Higher - income retirees will have to pay income taxes on 85 % of their Social Security benefits and 100 % on all other retirement benefits they may have .

As of March 2012 , BP estimated the company 's total spill - related expenses do not exceed $37.2 billion .

Deepwater Horizon oil spill

The spill had a strong economic impact to BP and also the Gulf Coast 's economy sectors such as offshore drilling , fishing and tourism . Estimates of lost tourism dollars were projected to cost the Gulf coastal economy up to 22.7 billion through 2013 . In addition , Louisiana reported that lost visitor spending through the end of 2010 totaled $32 million , and losses through 2013 were expected to total $153 million in this state alone . The Gulf of Mexico commercial fishing industry was estimated to have lost $247 million as a result of postspill fisheries closures . One study projects that the overall impact of lost or degraded commercial , recreational , and mariculture fisheries in the Gulf could be $8.7 billion by 2020 , with a potential loss of 22,000 jobs over the same time frame . BP 's expenditures on the spill included the cost of the spill response , containment , relief well drilling , grants to the Gulf states , claims paid , and federal costs , including fines and penalties . As of March 2012 , BP estimated the company 's total spill - related expenses do not exceed $37.2 billion . However , by some estimations penalties that BP may be required to pay have reached as high as $90 billion . In addition , in November 2012 the EPA announced that BP will be temporarily banned from seeking new contracts with the US government . Due to the loss of the market value , BP had dropped from the second to the fourth largest of the four major oil companies by 2013 . During the crisis , BP gas stations in the United States reported a sales drop of between 10 and 40 % due to backlash against the company .

June Stahl

June Stahl arrives in Charming in episode 6 , `` AK - 51 '' , and is assigned to a case involving the Sons of Anarchy Motorcycle Club and their involvement in inter-state arms trafficking . She had been called in by David Hale , the local police department 's Deputy Chief , as he had been struggling to rid the town of the gang due to his superior , Wayne Unser 's , corruptness . She soon becomes involved in an affair with David Hale . Jax Teller , SAMCRO 's Vice President , witnessed them in a sexual encounter at the police station while breaking Cherry out of lockup . Agent Stahl became even more obsessed with crushing SAMCRO after being severely beaten by Big Otto Delaney , who hit her head into a table as a way to show the club that he did not succumb to her pressure . He also detested her for arresting his wife Luann as a way to force him to become an informant . Her subsequent attempts to recruit Opie Winston caused her to trick Clay Morrow , SAMCRO 's President , into believing that Opie had betrayed the Club and the others with whom he murdered Hefferen , a port commissioner . Clay responded by ordering Tig Trager to kill Opie and pin it on the One - Niners street gang . Opie 's wife , who was driving his truck , was mistakenly killed instead . This incident caused a rift between Stahl and Deputy Chief Hale , who icily told her at the crime scene , `` This blood 's on you . '' She continued in her attempts to bring down SAMCRO until the very end , keeping another member , Bobby Munson , in jail three weeks after the case was dropped and he was a free man . When Bobby asked her why she did that , even though it caused so much sorrow and did not accomplish anything , she says it gave her peace of mind .

The Lost Boys

The majority of the film was shot in Santa Cruz , California ; this includes the Santa Cruz Boardwalk , the Pogonip open space preserve , and the surrounding Santa Cruz Mountains . Originally , the script called for Santa Cruz to be the name of the fictional town where the `` lost boys '' hunted their prey . However , the aforementioned city 's council strongly objected to the town being portrayed as the `` murder capital of the world '' ; so they refused to grant filming permits . It was for this reason the producers introduced the fictional town of `` Santa Carla '' . Unbeknown at the time , was the fact that Santa Cruz 's true crime history is what attracted the producers to the beach town in the first place . In the late 1970s , Santa Cruz gained an unpopular reputation as `` Murdersville , USA '' and as being `` the Murder Capital of the World '' after three infamous serial killers ( Kemper , Mullin , and Carpenter ) were found to have hunted victims in the area .

Pareidolia can cause people to interpret random images , or patterns of light and shadow , as faces .

Pareidolia

Pareidolia can cause people to interpret random images , or patterns of light and shadow , as faces . A 2009 magnetoencephalography study found that objects perceived as faces evoke an early ( 165 ms ) activation of the fusiform face area at a time and location similar to that evoked by faces , whereas other common objects do not evoke such activation . This activation is similar to a slightly faster time ( 130 ms ) that is seen for images of real faces . The authors suggest that face perception evoked by face - like objects is a relatively early process , and not a late cognitive reinterpretation phenomenon . A functional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI ) study in 2011 similarly showed that repeated presentation of novel visual shapes that were interpreted as meaningful led to decreased fMRI responses for real objects . These results indicate that the interpretation of ambiguous stimuli depends upon processes similar to those elicited by known objects .

The patriotic ardor of the Civil War was an old story ...

Pledge of Allegiance (United States)

In his recollection of the creation of the Pledge , Francis Bellamy said , `` At the beginning of the nineties patriotism and national feeling was ( sic ) at a low ebb . The patriotic ardor of the Civil War was an old story ... The time was ripe for a reawakening of simple Americanism and the leaders in the new movement rightly felt that patriotic education should begin in the public schools . '' James Upham `` felt that a flag should be on every schoolhouse , '' so his publication `` fostered a plan of selling flags to schools through the children themselves at cost , which was so successful that 25,000 schools acquired flags in the first year ( 1892 - 93 ) .

Michael is a determined agnostic - though he would at times identify himself as an atheist in order to rile up Archie , who assumed he was in complete disbelief of God - , in contrast to his mother - in - law 's quiet Christian church attendance and his non-practicing but nonetheless staunchly Christian father - in - law .

Michael Stivic

Exacerbating the conflicts between college student Michael and his conservative father - in - law Archie Bunker , is the fact that in the early years of the television series , these two characters live under the same roof . This proximity means that the tensions between these seemingly diametrically opposed people result in endless arguments over the simplest of topics , even the proper order in which to put on socks and shoes . Along with other issues , such as Michael 's frequent decision to sit in Archie 's coveted chair and huge appetite for food purchased by Archie 's working - class income , their huge ideological differences greatly contributed to the conflict between the two characters . Michael is a determined agnostic - though he would at times identify himself as an atheist in order to rile up Archie , who assumed he was in complete disbelief of God - , in contrast to his mother - in - law 's quiet Christian church attendance and his non-practicing but nonetheless staunchly Christian father - in - law . He also is a dedicated humanitarian who wishes to help change the world : originally , Michael wanted to become a social worker , but his career aspirations shifted towards teaching as the series progressed . When the neighboring Jefferson family moves out of the neighborhood , the family patriarch George allows Michael to rent his old house so Michael and Gloria can have a home of their own . George , however , is still the house 's legal owner . Although being next door still results in frequent visits , the tension between Michael and Archie eases as they now live under different roofs .

The U.S. Constitution also provides for appointment of one of the elected Senators to serve as President pro tempore .

Presiding Officer of the United States Senate

The U.S. Constitution also provides for appointment of one of the elected Senators to serve as President pro tempore . This Senator presides when the vice president was absent from the body . The President pro tempore is selected by the body specifically for the role of presiding in the absence of ( as the meaning of pro tempore , literally `` for the time being '' ) the actual presiding officer . By tradition , the title of President pro tempore has come to be given more - or-less automatically to the most senior senator of the majority party . In actual practice in the modern Senate , the President pro tempore also does not often serve in the role ( though it is his or her constitutional right to do so ) , instead , as governed by the aforementioned Rule I , he or she frequently designates a junior senator to perform the function .
