In that era most criminal prosecutions were conducted by private parties , either a law enforcement officer , a lawyer hired by a crime victim or his family , or even by laymen .

Grand juries in the United States

In the early decades of the United States grand juries played a major role in public matters . During that period counties followed the traditional practice of requiring all decisions be made by at least twelve of the grand jurors , ( e.g. , for a twenty - three - person grand jury , twelve people would constitute a bare majority ) . Any citizen could bring a matter before a grand jury directly , from a public work that needed repair , to the delinquent conduct of a public official , to a complaint of a crime , and grand juries could conduct their own investigations . In that era most criminal prosecutions were conducted by private parties , either a law enforcement officer , a lawyer hired by a crime victim or his family , or even by laymen . A layman could bring a bill of indictment to the grand jury ; if the grand jury found there was sufficient evidence for a trial , that the act was a crime under law , and that the court had jurisdiction , it would return the indictment to the complainant . The grand jury would then appoint the complaining party to exercise the authority of an attorney general , that is , one having a general power of attorney to represent the state in the case . The grand jury served to screen out incompetent or malicious prosecutions . The advent of official public prosecutors in the later decades of the 19th century largely displaced private prosecutions .

Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the lunar module Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility .

Apollo 11

After being sent toward the Moon by the Saturn V 's upper stage , the astronauts separated the spacecraft from it and traveled for three days until they entered into lunar orbit . Armstrong and Aldrin then moved into the lunar module Eagle and landed in the Sea of Tranquility . They stayed a total of about 21.5 hours on the lunar surface . The astronauts used Eagle 's upper stage to lift off from the lunar surface and rejoin Collins in the command module . They jettisoned Eagle before they performed the maneuvers that blasted them out of lunar orbit on a trajectory back to Earth . They returned to Earth and landed in the Pacific Ocean on July 24 .

The dome , which had often been criticized as not appropriate for the state , was removed and a 105 - foot ( 32 m ) tower was added at the north end of the building .

New Mexico State Capitol

During the next several decades , various additions were built adjacent to the capitol building . In 1950 a major project was begun to unify the architectural appearance of all the buildings in the government complex to the Territorial Revival style . The dome , which had often been criticized as not appropriate for the state , was removed and a 105 - foot ( 32 m ) tower was added at the north end of the building . The building is now known as the Bataan Memorial Building , and houses numerous offices of the State Government . The old capitol is almost entirely obscured by the later additions , or in the case of the pedimented portico , removals , but its third - story arched windows are still recognizable .

Two-way radio

In two - way radios with headsets , a push - to - talk button may be included on a cord or wireless electronics box clipped to the user 's clothing . In fire trucks or an ambulance a button may be present where the corded headset plugs into the radio wiring . Aircraft typically have corded headsets and a separate push - to - talk button on the control yoke or control stick . Dispatch consoles often have a hand - operated push - to - talk buttons along with a foot switch or pedal . If the dispatcher 's hands are on a computer keyboard , the user can step on the foot pedal to transmit . Some systems have muting so the dispatcher can be on a telephone call and the caller can not hear what is said over the radio . Their headset microphone will mute if they transmit . This relieves the dispatcher of explaining every radio message to a caller .

The RAF began bombing Germany in March 1940 .

Strategic bombing during World War II

Strategic bombing during World War II began on 1 September 1939 when Germany invaded Poland and the Luftwaffe ( German Air Force ) began bombing cities and the civilian population in Poland in an indiscriminate aerial bombardment campaign . As the war continued to expand , bombing by both the Axis and the Allies increased significantly . The RAF began bombing Germany in March 1940 . In September 1940 , the Luftwaffe began targeting British cities in ' The Blitz ' . After the beginning of Operation Barbarossa in June 1941 , the Luftwaffe attacked Soviet cities and infrastructure . From 1942 onward , the British bombing campaign against Germany became less restrictive and increasingly targeted industrial sites and eventually , civilian areas . When the United States began flying bombing missions against Germany , it reinforced these efforts and controversial firebombings were carried out against Hamburg ( 1943 ) , Dresden ( 1945 ) , and other German cities .

According to Fed Chairman Marriner Eccles , the root cause was the concentration of wealth resulting in a stagnating or decreasing standard of living for the poor and middle class .

Gold standard

The Austrian School asserted that the Great Depression was the result of a credit bust . Alan Greenspan wrote that the bank failures of the 1930s were sparked by Great Britain dropping the gold standard in 1931 . This act `` tore asunder '' any remaining confidence in the banking system . Financial historian Niall Ferguson wrote that what made the Great Depression truly ' great ' was the European banking crisis of 1931 . According to Fed Chairman Marriner Eccles , the root cause was the concentration of wealth resulting in a stagnating or decreasing standard of living for the poor and middle class . These classes went into debt , producing the credit explosion of the 1920s . Eventually the debt load grew too heavy , resulting in the massive defaults and financial panics of the 1930s .

Shipbuilding in the American colonies

Some areas in the colonies were not conducive to the development of agriculture . This was the case in the New England colonies which consisted of the present day New Hampshire , Connecticut , Rhode Island , Vermont , Maine and Massachusetts . These areas have poorly developed soils and are susceptible to poor climatic conditions . Nevertheless , New England did have prime access to the Atlantic Ocean . New England was able to create a thriving fishing industry to increase their shipbuilding market . New England 's ideal placement and the demand that existed for water transport implied that they were involved in the shipping industry as a function of their agricultural impotence , their locations and the development of a fishing industry .

Titanic was under the command of Edward Smith , who also went down with the ship . The ocean liner carried some of the wealthiest people in the world , as well as hundreds of emigrants from Great Britain and Ireland , Scandinavia and elsewhere throughout Europe who were seeking a new life in the United States . The first - class accommodation was designed to be the pinnacle of comfort and luxury , with an on - board gymnasium , swimming pool , libraries , high - class restaurants and opulent cabins . A high - powered radiotelegraph transmitter was available for sending passenger `` marconigrams '' and for the ship 's operational use . Although Titanic had advanced safety features such as watertight compartments and remotely activated watertight doors , there were not enough lifeboats to accommodate all of those aboard , due to outdated maritime safety regulations . Titanic only carried enough lifeboats for 1,178 people -- slightly more than half of the number on board , and one third of her total capacity .

After eight months of battles and negotiations , which overcame the diplomatic resistance of the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II to his visit , Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8 , 1519 , where he took up residence with fellow Spaniards and their indigenous allies .

Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire

Cortés made alliances with tributaries city - states ( altepetl ) of the Aztec Empire as well as their political rivals , particularly the Tlaxcalteca and Texcocans , a former partner in the Aztec Triple Alliance . Other city - states also joined , including Huexotzinco and polities bordering Lake Texcoco , the inland lake system of the Valley of Mexico . Particularly important to the Spanish success was a multilingual ( Nahuatl , a Maya dialect , and Spanish ) indigenous slave woman , known to the Spanish conquistadors as Doña Marina , and generally as La Malinche . After eight months of battles and negotiations , which overcame the diplomatic resistance of the Aztec Emperor Moctezuma II to his visit , Cortés arrived in Tenochtitlan on November 8 , 1519 , where he took up residence with fellow Spaniards and their indigenous allies . When news reached Cortés of the death of several of his men during the Aztec attack on the Totonacs in Veracruz , he took Moctezuma captive , along with Cuitláhuac , his kinsman . Capturing the cacique or indigenous ruler was standard operating procedure for Spaniards in their expansion in the Caribbean , so capturing Moctezuma had considerable precedent , which might well have included those in Spain during the Christian reconquest of territory held by Muslims .

Cornets appear in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 's ballet Swan Lake , Claude Debussy 's La Mer , and several orchestral works by Hector Berlioz .

Orchestra

Apart from the core orchestral complement , various other instruments are called for occasionally . These include the classical guitar , heckelphone , flugelhorn , cornet , harpsichord , and organ . Saxophones , for example , appear in some 19th - through 21st - century scores . While appearing only as featured solo instruments in some works , for example Maurice Ravel 's orchestration of Modest Mussorgsky 's Pictures at an Exhibition and Sergei Rachmaninoff 's Symphonic Dances , the saxophone is included in other works , such as Ravel 's Boléro , Sergei Prokofiev 's Romeo and Juliet Suites 1 and 2 , Vaughan Williams ' Symphonies No. 6 and 9 and William Walton 's Belshazzar 's Feast , and many other works as a member of the orchestral ensemble . The euphonium is featured in a few late Romantic and 20th - century works , usually playing parts marked `` tenor tuba '' , including Gustav Holst 's The Planets , and Richard Strauss 's Ein Heldenleben . The Wagner tuba , a modified member of the horn family , appears in Richard Wagner 's cycle Der Ring des Nibelungen and several other works by Strauss , Béla Bartók , and others ; it has a prominent role in Anton Bruckner 's Symphony No. 7 in E Major . Cornets appear in Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky 's ballet Swan Lake , Claude Debussy 's La Mer , and several orchestral works by Hector Berlioz . Unless these instruments are played by members `` doubling '' on another instrument ( for example , a trombone player changing to euphonium or a bassoon player switching to contrabassoon for a certain passage ) , orchestras typically hire freelance musicians to augment their regular ensemble .

For simple magnets , m points in the direction of a line drawn from the south to the north pole of the magnet .

Magnetic field

The magnetic field of permanent magnets can be quite complicated , especially near the magnet . The magnetic field of a small straight magnet is proportional to the magnet 's strength ( called its magnetic dipole moment m ) . The equations are non-trivial and also depend on the distance from the magnet and the orientation of the magnet . For simple magnets , m points in the direction of a line drawn from the south to the north pole of the magnet . Flipping a bar magnet is equivalent to rotating its m by 180 degrees .

Humid subtropical climate

Rainfall often shows a summer peak , especially where monsoons are well developed , as in Southeast Asia and Florida ( US ) . Other areas have a more uniform or varying rainfall cycles , but consistently lack any predictably dry summer months . Most summer rainfall occurs during thunderstorms that build up due to the intense surface heating and strong subtropical sun angle . Weak tropical lows that move in from adjacent warm tropical oceans , as well as infrequent tropical storms often contribute to summer seasonal rainfall peaks . Winter rainfall is often associated with large storms in the westerlies that have fronts that reach down into subtropical latitudes . However , many subtropical climates such as southeast Asia or Florida have very dry winters , with frequent brush fires and water shortages .

Upon Sauron 's defeat , Aragorn was crowned as King Elessar ( a Quenya name given to him by Galadriel , translated as Elfstone ) , and he married Arwen shortly afterward . He became the twenty - sixth King of Arnor , thirty - fifth King of Gondor and the first High King of the Reunited Kingdom . His line was called the House of Telcontar ( Quenya for `` Strider '' , his name in Bree ) . The Appendices of Return of the King explain that Aragorn ruled the Kingdoms of Gondor and Arnor until the year 120 of the Fourth Age . His reign was marked by great harmony and prosperity within Gondor and Arnor , and by a renewal of communication and cooperation between Men , Elves , and Dwarves , fostered by his vigorous rebuilding campaign following the war . Aragorn led the forces of the Reunited Kingdom on military campaigns against some Easterlings and Haradrim , re-establishing rule over much territory that Gondor had lost in previous centuries . He died at the age of 210 , after 122 years as king . The graves of Merry and Pippin ( who had died in Gondor 58 years prior ) were set beside his . He was succeeded on the throne by his son , Eldarion . Arwen , gravely saddened by the loss of her husband , gave up her mortal life shortly afterward in Lothlórien . Arwen and Aragorn also had at least two daughters . Upon hearing of Aragorn 's death , Legolas built a grey ship in Ithilien , and sailed to the Undying Lands , along with Gimli . `` And when that ship passed an end was come in Middle - earth of the Fellowship of the Ring . ''

Type A and Type B personality theory

Type A personality behavior was first described as a potential risk factor for heart disease in the 1950s by cardiologists Meyer Friedman and Ray Rosenman . They discovered that their patients were wearing out the arms and upholstery on the chairs in the waiting room After an eight - and - a-half - year - long study of healthy men between the ages of 35 and 59 , Friedman and Rosenman estimated that Type A behavior doubles the risk of coronary heart disease in otherwise healthy individuals . The individuals enrolled in this study were followed well beyond the original time frame of the study . Participants were asked to fill out a questionnaire , that asked questions like `` Do you feel guilty if you use spare time to relax ? '' and `` Do you generally move , walk , and eat rapidly ? '' Subsequent analysis indicated that although Type A personality is associated with the incidence of coronary heart disease , it does not seem to be a risk factor for mortality .

And instead , you got a babe with a bob cut and a magnificent bosom . '' She is a bonne vivante and a liberal woman who enjoys nothing more than a good laugh , much to the consternation of her love interest David Horton . Despite her fun - loving and sometimes outrageous behaviour , she is deeply caring and does her best to help those in her parish in any way she can .

Men such as William Randolph Hearst , the owner of The New York Journal was involved in a circulation war with Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and saw the conflict as a way to sell papers .

Propaganda of the Spanish–American War

Several forces within the United States were pushing for a war with Spain . Their tactics were wide - ranging and their goal was to engage the opinion of the American people in any way possible . Men such as William Randolph Hearst , the owner of The New York Journal was involved in a circulation war with Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World and saw the conflict as a way to sell papers . Many newspapers ran articles of a sensationalist nature and sent correspondents to Cuba to cover the war . Correspondents had to evade Spanish authorities ; usually they were unable to get reliable news and relied heavily on informants for their stories . Many stories were derived from second or third hand accounts and were either elaborated , misrepresented or completely fabricated by journalists to enhance their dramatic effect . Theodore Roosevelt , who was the Assistant Secretary of the Navy at this time , wanted to use the conflict both to help heal the wounds still fresh from the American Civil War , and to increase the strength of the US Navy , while simultaneously establishing America as a presence on the world stage . Roosevelt put pressure on the United States Congress to come to the aid of the Cuban people . He emphasized Cuban weakness and femininity to justify America 's military intervention .

Salt

Salt is processed from salt mines , and by the evaporation of seawater ( sea salt ) and mineral - rich spring water in shallow pools . Its major industrial products are caustic soda and chlorine ; salt is used in many industrial processes including the manufacture of polyvinyl chloride , plastics , paper pulp and many other products . Of the annual global production of around two hundred million tonnes of salt , about 6 % is used for human consumption . Other uses include water conditioning processes , de-icing highways , and agricultural use . Edible salt is sold in forms such as sea salt and table salt which usually contains an anti-caking agent and may be iodised to prevent iodine deficiency . As well as its use in cooking and at the table , salt is present in many processed foods .

If the court believes that developments or trends in legal reasoning render the precedent unhelpful , and wishes to evade it and help the law evolve , the court may either hold that the precedent is inconsistent with subsequent authority , or that the precedent should be distinguished by some material difference between the facts of the cases .

Precedent

A lower court may not rule against a binding precedent , even if the lower court feels that the precedent is unjust ; the lower court may only express the hope that a higher court or the legislature will reform the rule in question . If the court believes that developments or trends in legal reasoning render the precedent unhelpful , and wishes to evade it and help the law evolve , the court may either hold that the precedent is inconsistent with subsequent authority , or that the precedent should be distinguished by some material difference between the facts of the cases . If that judgment goes to appeal , the appellate court will have the opportunity to review both the precedent and the case under appeal , perhaps overruling the previous case law by setting a new precedent of higher authority . This may happen several times as the case works its way through successive appeals . Lord Denning , first of the High Court of Justice , later of the Court of Appeal , provided a famous example of this evolutionary process in his development of the concept of estoppel starting in the High Trees case : Central London Property Trust Ltd v. High Trees House Ltd ( 1947 ) K.B. 130 .

Game theory

Early discussions of examples of two - person games occurred long before the rise of modern , mathematical game theory . The first known discussion of game theory occurred in a letter written by Charles Waldegrave , an active Jacobite , and uncle to James Waldegrave , a British diplomat , in 1713 . In this letter , Waldegrave provides a minimax mixed strategy solution to a two - person version of the card game le Her , and the problem is now known as Waldegrave problem . James Madison made what we now recognize as a game - theoretic analysis of the ways states can be expected to behave under different systems of taxation . In his 1838 Recherches sur les principes mathématiques de la théorie des richesses ( Researches into the Mathematical Principles of the Theory of Wealth ) , Antoine Augustin Cournot considered a duopoly and presents a solution that is a restricted version of the Nash equilibrium .

Split (poker)

Sometimes it is necessary to further split a half pot into quarters , or even smaller portions . This is especially common in community card high - low split games such as Omaha hold'em , where one player has the high hand and two or more players have tied low hands . Unfortunate players receiving such a fractional pot call it being quartered . When this happens , an exception to the odd chip rules above can be made : if the high hand wins its half of the pot alone , and the low half is going to be quartered , the odd chip ( if any ) from the first split should be placed in the low half , rather than being awarded to the high hand .

One feature is the increasing syncopation in the vocal parts . Another feature is the guitar flat - picking that embellishes the E7 ( V7 ) chord from 2 : 03 to 2 : 11 , creating tension for resolution on the tonic A chord at `` Little darlin ' `` . The bridge involves a ♭ III - ♭ VII - IV - I - V7 triple descending 4th ( or Tri-Plagal ) progression ( with an extra V7 ) as the vocals move from `` Sun '' ( ♭ III or C chord ) to `` sun '' ( ♭ VII or G chord ) to `` sun '' ( IV or D chord ) to `` comes '' ( I or A chord ) and the additional 4th descent to a V7 ( E7 ) chord . The lyric here ( `` Sun , sun , sun , here it comes '' ) has been described as taking `` on the quality of a meditator 's mantra '' .

In the novel , Hiccup 's dragon , Toothless , is a Common or Garden Dragon , a small breed .

How to Train Your Dragon (film)

In initial development , the plot followed the original novel closely , but about halfway through production Chris Sanders and Dean DeBlois , the writer - directors of Disney 's Lilo & Stitch , took over as co-directors and it was altered . The original plot was described as , `` heavily loyal to the book '' , but was regarded as being too `` sweet '' and `` whimsical '' as well as geared towards a too - young demographic , according to Baruchel . In the novel , Hiccup 's dragon , Toothless , is a Common or Garden Dragon , a small breed . In the film , Toothless is a Night Fury , the rarest of all dragons , and is large enough to serve as a flying mount for both Hiccup and Astrid . The filmmakers hired cinematographer Roger Deakins ( known for frequently collaborating with the Coen brothers ) as a visual consultant to help them with lighting and overall look of the film and to `` add a live - action feel '' . Extensive research was done to depict both flight , as the directors knew they would be the biggest draw of the film 's 3D effects , and fire , given animation could break away from the limitations seen in live - action films , where propane flames are usual due to being easier to extinguish . The dragons ' design made sure to create animals that were comical and also innovative compared to other dragon fiction . Toothless in particular tried to combine various dragon traits in a black panther - inspired design , that also had large ears and eyes to convey emotion better .

As of April 11 , some predicted that no matter what happened the season 3 release date would be delayed .

House of Cards (season 3)

Netflix , which had received $26 million in tax benefits for the first two seasons was only offered a $4 million incentive for season 3 by Maryland Governor Martin O'Malley , which resulted in Netflix delaying production and threatening to move production . By March 2014 , it was clear that the requested state tax incentives would not be approved by the Maryland Legislature . In response to Netflix 's threat to move production if `` sufficient tax incentives '' were not provided , the Maryland House of Delegates threatened to use eminent domain power to purchase , condemn , or seize the production assets , equipment , and other property that remained in the state because the production had already been the beneficiary of tens of millions of dollars in tax benefits . By April 6 , 2014 , the Maryland General Assembly considered various methods to avail the tax incentives . However , the April 7 state budget only included a total of $15 million in tax incentives for filming , leaving a $3.5 million shortfall for House of Cards , which production company Media Rights Capital said might force them to move production . Baltimore Sun longtime television critic David Zurawik felt that the $3.5 million would not keep House of Cards from returning to resume production in the area . As of April 11 , some predicted that no matter what happened the season 3 release date would be delayed . On April 25 , a deal was reached to leave the 2015 fiscal year budget with the $3.5 million shortfall , but to allow the producers to collect the $11.5 million unallocated filming credit that remained in the 2014 fiscal year budget .

The first point along the graph where a response above zero ( or above the control response ) is reached is usually referred to as a threshold - dose .

Dose–response relationship

The first point along the graph where a response above zero ( or above the control response ) is reached is usually referred to as a threshold - dose . For most beneficial or recreational drugs , the desired effects are found at doses slightly greater than the threshold dose . At higher doses , undesired side effects appear and grow stronger as the dose increases . The more potent a particular substance is , the steeper this curve will be . In quantitative situations , the Y - axis often is designated by percentages , which refer to the percentage of exposed individuals registering a standard response ( which may be death , as in LD ) . Such a curve is referred to as a quantal dose - response curve , distinguishing it from a graded dose - response curve , where response is continuous ( either measured , or by judgment ) .

Amendments to the Voting Rights Act of 1965

In each of these amendments except for the 1992 amendments , Congress extended the special provisions that were tied to the coverage formula , such as the preclearance requirement . These provisions were extended for five years in 1970 , seven years in 1975 , and 25 years in both 1982 and 2006 . In 1970 and 1975 , Congress also expanded the coverage formula , supplementing it with new 1968 and 1972 trigger dates . Coverage was further enlarged in 1975 when Congress expanded the meaning of `` tests or devices '' to encompass any jurisdiction that provided English - only election information , such as ballots , if the jurisdiction had a single language minority group that constituted more than five percent of the jurisdiction 's voting - age citizens . These expansions brought numerous jurisdictions into coverage , including many located outside of the South . To ease the burdens of the reauthorized special provisions , Congress liberalized the bailout procedure in 1982 , allowing covered jurisdictions to escape coverage by upholding the voting rights of protected minorities and affirmatively acting to expand minority political participation .
