Wind turbine 
 A wind turbine is a rotating machine that transfers kinetic energy from the wind into mechanical energy.
Wind turbine 
 If the mechanical energy is used directly by machinery, such as for pumping water, cutting lumber or grinding stones, the machine is called a windmill.
Wind turbine 
 If the mechanical energy is instead converted to electricity, the machine may be called a wind turbine generator (WTG), wind power unit (WPU), wind energy converter (WEC), or aerogenerator.
Wind turbine 
 The shaft goes into a reduction gearbox with a ratio of about 1:50, although some wind turbine gearboxes can have a ratio of 1:100 or more.
Wind turbine 
 This combined electricity may be used locally, or adjusted to match the electricity in the power grid and sent to the power grid.
Wind turbine 
 Although wind turbines are a renewable source of energy and don't pollute the environment as a result of generating power, they have an environmental impact.

 At that time, people in Athens had a custom of holding a public funeral for the people who died in war.
Pericles' Funeral Oration 
 The bodies of the dead were left out for three days in a tent, where offerings could be made for the dead.
Pericles' Funeral Oration 
 Thucydides says in his History that the speeches are not completely the same as what was really said, but written to show the main ideas of what was said.

 American Civil War scholar Garry Wills calls Abraham Lincoln's famous Gettysburg Address the modern parallel to Pericles' Funeral Oration.
Gorgoneion 
 The gorgoneion was linked with the gods Zeus and Athena; both are said to have worn it as a pendant.
Gorgoneion 
 Homer wrote about the Gorgon on four occasions, but only about the head, as if the creature had no body.
Gorgoneion 
 Up to the 5th century BC, the head was shown as being very ugly, with her tongue sticking out, boar tusks, puffy cheeks, her eyeballs staring straight ahead and the snakes twisting all around her.
Gorgoneion 
 In some cases a beard, (probably representing streaks of blood) was added to her chin, making her appear as a wild and sexual god, like Dionysus.
Gorgoneion 
 Gorgoneia painted on the shields of warriors on mid-5th century Greek vases are not as ugly, strange or frightening.
Gorgoneion 
 The Hellenistic marble known as the Medusa Rondanini shows how the Gorgon changed over time into a beautiful woman.
Gorgoneion 
 Marija Gimbutas even argues that "the Gorgon extends back to at least 6000 BC, as a ceramic mask from the Sesklo culture illustrates".
Gorgoneion 
 In the 6th century BC, gorgoneia of a basic type of "lion mask" were found all over Greek temples, especially in and around Corinth.
Gorgoneion 
 Pedimental gorgoneia were common in Sicily; probably the earliest one is in the Temple of Apollo in Syracuse.
Gorgoneion 
 Around 500 BC, they stopped being used to decorate monumental buildings, but were still shown on parts of the roof tiles (antefix) of smaller buildings throughout the next century.
Gorgoneion 
 As well as temples, the Gorgon image can be found on dress, dishes, weapons, and coins across the Mediterranean region from Etruria to the Black Sea coast.
Gorgoneion 
 The Gorgon coins were made in 37 cities, making her image on coins second only to some of the main Greek gods.
Gorgoneion 
 The Gorgon image remained popular even in Christian times, especially in the Byzantine Empire, including Kievan Rus (now the Ukraine).
Gorgoneion 
 Jane Ellen Harrison, on the other hand, claims that many primitive cultures use similar ritual masks.
Gorgoneion 
 These are meant to scare the owner from doing something wrong, or, as she terms it, to make an ugly face at him.
Gustave Courbet 
 Courbet's paintings were an inspiration to many other painters, particularly the French Impressionists and Post-Impressionists.
Gustave Courbet 
 Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas, Vincent van Gogh and Henri Toulouse-Lautrec were all inspired by Gustave Courbet's paintings of people.
Gustave Courbet 
 His landscape paintings were an inspiration to Claude Monet, Seurat, Cezanne and many other painters.
Gustave Courbet 
 When Courbet was twenty he went to Paris in 1839, and worked at the studio of two other painters, Steuben and Hesse.
Gustave Courbet 
 He often returned home to Ornans to hunt, fish and find inspiration in the countryside and country life.
Gustave Courbet 
 In 1846–1847 Coubet travelled to the Netherlands and Belgium where he studied the paintings of Rembrandt, Franz Hals and Jan Steen who all painted in the 1600s.
Gustave Courbet 
 They showed ordinary people at the table together, dancing, writing, cooking, working at trades and in businesses and in the fields.
Gustave Courbet 
 He did not want to paint scenes from literature, history or mythology like most other artists in France at that time.83
Gustave Courbet 
 The painting, called After Dinner at Ornans, shows four men who have just finished a meal at a little table, which is perhaps in an inn.
Gustave Courbet 
 It won a Gold Medal and was bought by the French Government.32 Because of the gold medal, Courbet could hang his pictures at the Salon Exhibitions without having them checked by a jury first.
Gustave Courbet 
 This rule was changed in 1857.55 Courbet's work, and the work of Honoré Daumier and Jean-François Millet, became known as Realism.
Gustave Courbet 
 In 1849 Courbet saw two people working by the roadside, using small hammers to break large rocks into gravel.
Gustave Courbet 
 He explained it to a friend "It is not often that one meets with so complete an expression of poverty and so, right then and there I got the idea for a painting.
Gustave Courbet 
 The picture soon became one of the most famous scenes of the life of poor people that has ever been painted.
Gustave Courbet 
 Courbet's other important painting that was shown at the Salon of 1850 was a scene of life at his village.
Gustave Courbet 
 Courbet got all the village people who had been at the funeral to come to his studio and pose for him, one by one, until the painting was complete.
Gustave Courbet 
 They thought that it was wrong to show the burial of an ordinary man in a huge painting, as if he was as important as an emperor.
Gustave Courbet 
 They thought that it was wrong to show the poor people of a village, with their old clothes and dirty boots, as if they were all as important as lords and ladies.4 Some of the critics said that Courbet was deliberately trying to paint ugliness.
Gustave Courbet 
 During the 1850s Courbet painted many other pictures using common folk and friends as his subjects, such as Village Damsels (1852), the Wrestlers (1853), Bathers (1853), The Sleeping Spinner (1853), and The Wheat Sifters (1854).
Gustave Courbet 
 In 1855 Coubet took this picture, with Burial at Ornan and twelve other paintings to be shown in a big international exhibition in Paris called Exposition Universelle.
Gustave Courbet 
 He had his own building put up, and showed forty of his paintings.52 Many other artists praised Courbet, but some people laughed at him, and the public did not buy very many of his pictures.84 Because of what he had done, younger artists heard about him and admired him.
Gustave Courbet 
 One was a hunting scene and one was a picture of two prostitutes lying under a tree on the banks of the River Seine in Paris.
Gustave Courbet 
 For the rest of his life, Courbet painted erotic pictures like the picture of the prostitutes, and also many more hunting scenes.
Gustave Courbet 
 His last erotic painting was called The Origin of the World and was a close-up painting of female genitals.
Gustave Courbet 
 He also painted many landscapes, which he began by doing outdoor sketches, then made into large paintings in his studio.
Gustave Courbet 
 The emperor offered to make Courbet a member of the Légion d'honneur which was the highest honour in France, but Courbet refused to accept it.
Gustave Courbet 
 The government decided to make terms so that Courbet could pay for the column in yearly payments of 10,000 francs for 33 years.
Gustave Courbet 
 Courbet died at La Tour-de-Peilz, Switzerland, on 31 December 1877, one day before the first payment was due.

Dispute 
 A second factor is the use of books, newspapers, radio and television by each side to promote their side of the argument.
Dispute 
 Then the West versus East conflict seemed to threaten world peace, and many ideas were put forward to use negotiation as a tool to calm the tension.
Dispute 
 The tension was finally reduced by the unexpected end of the Soviet Union, and the withdrawal of Soviet troops from Eastern Europe.
Dispute 
 Between people, there are counsellors; between organisations there are specialists in conflict resolution; between countries there is the United Nations.
Dispute 
 Some disputes do fade with the passage of time, though the time may be much longer than a human lifetime.
Dispute 
 Conflict between religions may fade only after centuries, and there is no known process of mediation.
Dispute 
 Usually the cases are based on claims about money, between individual people or between 'corporate entities'.
Dispute 
 Both the European Union and the United Nations have used peace-keeping forces in areas under violent dispute.
Dispute 
 Education may be used to harden opinion and make a dispute worse, or it may be used to open people's minds to unpopular ideas.
Dispute 
 Education which helps people to think for themselves and keep an open mind is thought to reduce prejudice and conflict.
Dispute 
 Of course, there are many disputes between individual people, but disputes between large groups or nations are of very great importance.
Seating capacity 
 This limit can be either from the amount of space available, or from a law saying how many people are allowed to be there at a time.
Seating capacity 
 The largest sports building in the world, the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, has a permanent seating capacity of more than 257,000 people.
Apotropaic magic 
 Apotropaism or apotropaic magic is the use of magic rituals against evil or harmful influences like the evil eye or invidia, which was thought to cause injury or bad luck.
