Minor scale 
 Major and minor keys that share the same key signature are called relative; so C major is the relative major of A minor, and C minor is the relative minor of E major.
Minor scale 
 For example, since the key signature of G major has one sharp (see major scales for how to find this), its relative minor, E minor, also has one sharp in its key signature.
Minor scale 
 Music may be written in an enharmonic scale (e.g. A major, which only has four flats in its key signature, compared to the eight sharps required for G major).

Budding 
 Since the reproduction is asexual, the newly created organism is a clone and is genetically identical to the parent organism.
Binary fission 
 After replicating its genetic material, the parent cell divides into two equal sized daughter cells.

Neurotransmitter 
 The neuron then changes this chemical signal back into an electrical signal called an action potential.
Neurotransmitter 
 Many neurotransmitters are made from amino acids, which are part of your diet and it takes only a few steps to convert them.
Neurotransmitter 
 Scientists do not yet know exactly how many neurotransmitters exist, but more than 100 chemical messengers have been identified.
Neurotransmitter 
 For example: dopamine is used in reward and pleasure and noradrenaline is used in an animal's "fight or flight" response.
Neurotransmitter 
 This is because an action potential must be a certain strength before the neurotransmitters are released.
Neurotransmitter 
 The most common transmitter is glutamate, which is excitatory at well over 90% of the synapses in the human brain.
Neurotransmitter 
 The next most prevalent is called GABA, which inhibits at more than 90% of the synapses that do not use glutamate.
Neurotransmitter 
 Until the early 20th century, scientists assumed that the majority of synaptic communication in the brain was electrical.
Neurotransmitter 
 However, through the careful histological examinations by Ramón y Cajal (1852–1934), a 20 to 40 nm gap between neurons, known today as the synaptic cleft, was discovered.
Neurotransmitter 
 In 1921 German pharmacologist Otto Loewi (1873–1961) confirmed that neurons can communicate by releasing chemicals.
Neurotransmitter 
 By experiments involving the vagus nerves of frogs, Loewi was able to slow the heart rate of frogs by controlling the amount of saline solution present around the vagus nerve.
Neurotransmitter 
 Loewi asserted that sympathetic regulation of cardiac function can be mediated through changes in chemical concentrations.
Neurotransmitter 
 Some neurons do, however, communicate by electrical synapses through the use of gap junctions, which allow specific ions to pass directly from one cell to another.

Calvinism 
 Important Calvinists from Europe include: Martin Bucer, Heinrich Bullinger, Peter Martyr Vermigli, and Huldrych Zwingli, and from England, reformers Thomas Cranmer and John Jewel.
Calvinism 
 Because John Calvin had great influence and played an important role in the confessional and ecclesiastical debates throughout the 17th century, the tradition generally became known as Calvinism.
Calvinism 
 Today, this term also means the doctrines and practices of the Reformed churches, of which Calvin was an early leader, and the system is perhaps best known for its doctrines of predestination and total depravity.
Calvinism 
 John Calvin's international influence on the development of the doctrines of the Protestant Reformation began at the age of 25, when he started work on his first edition of the Institutes of the Christian Religion in 1534 (published 1536).
Calvinism 
 Alongside the work he contributed to confessional documents for use in churches, Calvin's beliefs and practices left a direct influence on Protestantism.
Calvinism 
 He is only one of many people to influence the doctrines of the Reformed churches, but he eventually became one of the most prominent theologians.
Calvinism 
 The rising importance of the Reformed churches, and of Calvin, happened in the second phase of the Protestant Reformation, when evangelical churches began to form, after Martin Luther, another important Reformer, was excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church.
Calvinism 
 He had signed the Lutheran Augsburg Confession in 1540, but his importance came from the Swiss Reformation.
Calvinism 
 True Calvinism (historical Calvinism) does not teach that God chooses who will be saved and who will not be saved.
Calvinism 
 Instead, it teaches that for God's own glory, He recreates men with a new nature - a nature that loves God and hates sin - instead of men keeping their old nature, as if they kept their old nature, they would not want to follow God.
Calvinism 
 Historical Calvinism also teaches that if God did not choose to save someone, there would be no-one to be saved.
Calvinism 
 Although much of Calvin's practice was in Geneva, his publications spread his ideas of a reformed church to many parts of Europe.
Calvinism 
 Calvinism became the theology of most Christians in Scotland (see John Knox), the Netherlands, and parts of Germany, and was influential in France, Hungary, Transylvania, and Poland.

 Dawson's private diary, unearthed after his death and made public in 1986, reveals that the King's last words, a mumbled "God damn you!",
George V 
 Dawson wrote that he hastened the King's death by injecting him with a lethal combination of morphine and cocaine.
George V 
 Dawson noted that he acted to preserve the King's dignity, to prevent further strain on the family, and so that the King's death at 11:55 p.m. could be announced in the morning edition of The Times newspaper rather than "less appropriate ... evening journals".
Candy 
 Candy, also called a sweet, is a sweet kind of food that is usually made from sugar and water, with flavors and other ingredients added.

Loanword 
 Since people who speak different languages often need to talk to each other, it is actually very common for languages to "borrow" words from other languages.
Loanword 
 When the Normans took over England during the Norman Conquest in 1066, they made French the official language of England.
Loanword 
 For example, the English words beef, pork, poultry, and mutton are loanwords based on the Norman French names of the animals cow, swine, chicken, and sheep in that same order.
Loanword 
 Since later the British Empire took over many different countries and people, they also borrowed many words from the languages of the people they took over.
Loanword 
 Languages often use loanwords because cultures learn about new ideas and inventions from people of the languages they borrow from.
Loanword 
 For example, in English the names of meats and wines often come from French, musical terms often come from Italian, and philosophical terms often come from German.
Loanword 
 Although native English speakers are now familiar with Chinese ideas and inventions, they are often called by their Japanese names in English because these were introduced to Americans through Japan.

 China, on the other hand, was closed off from the world when its ideas and inventions spread throughout the world because its communist government stopped communication with most outside countries, including America.
Loanword 
 The names of food are some of the most common loanwords across languages because people may not have any idea of what the food is like when they are first introduced to a certain culture.
