Eastern Europe is the eastern part of the European continent. There is no consensus on the precise area it covers, partly because the term has a wide range of geopolitical, geographical, cultural, and socioeconomic connotations. There are "almost as many definitions of Eastern Europe as there are scholars of the region". A related United Nations paper adds that "every assessment of spatial identities is essentially a social and cultural construct".

One definition describes Eastern Europe as a cultural entity: the region lying in Europe with the main characteristics consisting of Greek, Byzantine, Eastern Orthodox, Russian , and some Ottoman culture influences. Another definition was created during the Cold War and used more or less synonymously with the term "Eastern Bloc". A similar definition names the formerly communist European states outside the Soviet Union as Eastern Europe. Some historians and social scientists view such definitions as outdated or relegated, but they are still sometimes used for statistical purposes.

Several other definitions of Eastern Europe exist today, but they often lack precision, are too general or outdated. These definitions vary both across cultures and among experts, even political scientists, as the term has a wide range of geopolitical, geographical, cultural, and socioeconomic connotations. What are the answers to this following set of questions: 1. When was "Eastern Bloc" created as a anme?
Answer: 1. during the Cold War

Two dogs, Tank and Muck, joined the extraordinary animals in the history of the RSPCA, along with a donkey who saved an old man in a fire.

On a quiet afternoon, Tank, Muck and three-year-old Max were thought to be playing in the yard. But later, Max's mum, Annie, found they had disappeared.

"I searched everywhere for him, " she said. "And when I couldn't find him I jumped into the car. I finally found the dogs. They were running madly around the dam. I called Paul. "

Michael Beattie from the RSPCA said Annie's neighbor, Lucy Brown, who lived near the dam, 300 meters away from the Smiths' house, was the first to hear the dogs' barking. She came out and found Max and the two dogs. All of them were wet. So she took him inside and gave him a hot shower.

Paul Smith said, "When I received my wife's call, I _ . I couldn't believe it. I didn't know what I should do! Then I called the police. "

Meanwhile Annie was worried to death. "I was running around trying to find Max," she said. "The lady who found him heard me calling and she brought him out to me."

When the police arrived they saw quite clear drag marks --Max was rescued by the two dogs.

"We felt so lucky, especially when so many kids in Australia drowned every year. " Said Paul.

The RSPCA awarded each dog a medallion, a certificate and a very large bone.

(CNN) -- Rutgers quarterback Philip Nelson has been dismissed from the football team, the school's coach said Tuesday.

Nelson had been arrested Sunday and charged in connection with an assault that apparently left Isaac Kolstad -- a former linebacker for Minnesota State University, Mankato -- in critical condition.

"The Rutgers football family's thoughts and prayers are with Isaac Kolstad and his family," football coach Kyle Flood said, referring to the young man whom Nelson is accused of assaulting.

Nelson, 20, faces one count of first-degree assault and one count of third-degree assault.

Authorities in Minnesota also arrested a second person in connection with the assault, a Mankato, Minnesota, city spokeswoman said.

Trevor Stenner Shelley, 21, was arrested Monday afternoon. He is charged with first- and third-degree assault.

Officers found Kolstad, who graduated in December, near a downtown intersection. He was transported by ambulance to a local hospital.

Kolstad, 24, was in critical condition after suffering a severe head injury, his family said.

Nelson was a recent transfer to Rutgers. A native of Mankato, Minnesota, he played at the University of Minnesota, according to Rutgers' website. Nelson never played a down for Rutgers before his dismissal.
