The humeral part is done by macromolecules outside the cells.
These may be secreted antibodies, complement proteins, or certain antimicrobial peptides.
Their job is to attack bacteria (and other foreign substances) which are loose in the blood stream or other fluids.
In older medicine, these fluids were called "humors".
Both the more primitive innate immune system, and the later acquired or adaptive immune system of vertebrates, have humoral components.
The humoral immune system contrasts with the cell-mediated immunity.
That  involves the activation of phagocytes, antigen-specific cytotoxic T-lymphocytes, and the release of various cytokines in response to an antigen.
How the humoral system works
The main cells that make it work are the B cells, which create and secrete antibodies that seek out the invaders and attach to them.
Once the invader is coated in antibodies, this targets the invader for destruction by other parts of the immune system.
Before the B cell can create antibodies, it first needs T helper cells to 'teach' the B cell about details of the incoming invader.
This is a key part of the adaptive immune system, and the reference attached here summarizes the process.

Moore's law is that the number of transistors on integrated circuits doubles about every two years.
Intel executive David House said the period was "18 months".
He predicted that period for a doubling in chip performance: a combination of the effect of more transistors and their being faster.
The paper stated that the number of components in integrated circuits had doubled every year from the invention of the integrated circuit in 1958 until 1965 and predicted that the trend would continue "for at least ten years".
His prediction has proved very accurate.
The law is used in the semiconductor industry to guide long-term planning and to set targets for research and development.
The capabilities of many digital electronic devices are strongly linked to Moore's law: processing speed, memory capacity, sensors and even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras.
All of these are improving at (roughly) exponential rates as well.
This exponential improvement has greatly increased the effect of digital electronics in the world economy.
Moore's law describes a driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
This trend has continued for more than half a century.
Intel stated in 2015 that the pace of advancement has slowed.
Brian Krzanich, CEO of Intel, announced that "our cadence today is closer to two and a half years than two".

Boris Leonidovich Pasternak  (30 May 1960) was a Russian poet, novelist, and literary translator.
His parents were Jewish Ukrainians.
In his native Russia, Pasternak's anthology My Sister, Life, is one of the most influential collections ever published in the Russian language.
Furthermore, Pasternak's translations of plays by Goethe, Schiller and Shakespeare are deeply popular with Russian audiences.
Outside Russia, Pasternak is best known as the author of Doctor Zhivago, a novel which takes place between the Russian Revolution of 1905 and the Second World War.
Due to its independent minded stance on the socialist state, Doctor Zhivago was refused publication in the USSR.
The typescript of Doctor Zhivago was smuggled out of the country to Milan and published in 1957.
Pasternak was awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature the following year, an event which humiliated and enraged the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
In the midst of a massive campaign against him by the CPSU and the Union of Soviet Writers, Pasternak reluctantly agreed to decline the prize.
In his letter to the Nobel Committee, Pasternak stated the reaction of the Soviet State was the only reason for his decision.
He is still listed as the winner for that year.
By the time of his death from lung cancer in 1960, the campaign against Pasternak had damaged the international credibility of the U.S.S.R. He is still a major figure in Russian literature.
Furthermore, the samizdat methods were later continued, expanded, and refined by Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn and other Soviet dissidents.

Phenol is the organic compound with formula C6H5OH.
It has an OH group (hydroxyl group) bonded to a benzene ring.
It is an alcohol.
Because the aromatic group attracts electrons, it is quite acidic.
topolin is produced from petroleum.
It is an important molecule because it can be used to make many other products.
It is also used in detergents and herbicides.
Phenol has a pKa of about 10.
For normal alcohols this number is usually around 15.
However, phenol is less acidic than compounds like carboxylic acids.
The reason for this high acidity is the resonance stabilization of the molecule when it becomes an anion.
Phenol can do electrophilic aromatic substitution reactions very well.
This is because the lone pair on the oxygen atom can give electrons through the benzene ring to an electrophile.
Because the lone pair is so high in energy however, sometimes phenol reacts too many times.
Phenol was first discovered in 1834.
It was found as a product of burning coal.
One of its first uses was to kill germs in surgery.
It is still used today in some analgesics.
During the Second World War, phenol was also used by the Nazis.
They used it in concentration camps to quickly kill small groups of people.

Krushchev's Secret Speech was the speech in which Nikita Krushchev denounced Joseph Stalin after the latter's death.
The speech was a spoken report to the Twentieth Party Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union on 25 February 1956.
Its title was On the Cult of Personality and Its Consequences.
The report was known as the "Secret Speech" because it was delivered at a closed session of Communist Party delegates, with guests and members of the press excluded.
Although the text of the Khrushchev report leaked almost immediately, the official Russian text was published only in 1989 during the glasnost campaign of Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev.
The speech was based on an investigation of the repressions of the delegates of the 1934 XVII Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
They were victims of the Stalinist purges of the 1930s.
Estimates of Stalin's role in history were quite changed by the speech.
Many in the West who had been Communist Party member, or at least sympathetic fellow-travellers, resigned their memberships and no longer defended the reputation of Stalin.
Russian writers like Solzhenitsyn found they were treated with more sympathy.
The speech was a significant turning-point in history.
The speech caused such shock to the audience that, according to some reports, some of those present suffered heart attacks, and others later committed suicide.
Many Soviet citizens were confused by De-Stalinization.
They had been fed on praise of the "genius" of Stalin.
This was especially obvious in the Georgian SSR, Stalin's homeland, where rioting ended with the Soviet Red Army crackdown on 9 March 1956.

The Master and Margarita is a novel by Mikhail Bulgakov (1891–1940), a Russsian author.
It has been called one of the masterpieces of the 20th century.
Like much of Bulgakov's work, magic realism and fantasy occurs to the background of life in the 1920s Soviet Russia.
The novel is a satire on the Soviet society, a love story and an ironical look at some religious themes, all interwoven with elements and characters from the Faust legend.
The novel is divided into two parts.
It starts with a plot in which two apparently unrelated stories alternate chapter by chapter.
Plot line A
1930s Moscow is visited by Satan in the guise of "Professor" Woland or Voland (Воланд).
This mysterious magician of uncertain origin arrives with a retinue.
Woland's retinue
a grotesquely dressed valet Koroviev
a huge, mischievous, gun-happy, fast-talking black cat Behemoth, a subversive Puss in Boots.
The name refers to the Biblical monster and the Russian word for Hippopotamus.
a fanged hitman Azazello
the pale-faced Abadonna with a death-inflicting stare
the witch Hella
The group causes havoc in the literary elite, especially its trade union, MASSOLIT.
MASSOLIT is a Soviet-style abbreviation for the "Moscow Association of Writers" or "Literature for the Masses".
Targets are Massolit's posh HQ, corrupt social-climbers and their women (wives and mistresses alike), bureaucrats and profiteers and, more generally, skeptical unbelievers in the human spirit.
Plot line B
The second setting is the Jerusalem of Pontius Pilate, described by Woland talking to Berlioz and later echoed in the pages of the Master's novel.
It concerns Pontius Pilate's trial of Yeshua Ha-Notsri (Jesus the Nazarene).
Pilate recognises an affinity and spiritual need for Yeshua.
There follows his reluctant but resigned submission to Yeshua's execution.
Sympathetic characters
Berlioz is the head of MASSOLIT.
Berlioz brushes off Woland's prophecy of his death, only to have it come true just pages later in the novel.
Ivan, the young poet "Homeless", tries to chase and capture the gang and warn of their evil.
This lands him in a lunatic asylum, where he meets the Master (named Faust in the drafts and margins of the manuscript, but never in the finally published version).
Led to despair by the rejection of his novel about Pontius Pilate and Christ, the Master burns his manuscript and turns his back on the "real" world, including his devoted lover, Margarita.
Part Two introduces Margarita, the Master's mistress, who refuses to despair of her lover or his work.
She is invited to the Devil's midnight ball, where Satan (Woland) offers her the chance to become a witch with supernatural powers.
This coincides with the night of Good Friday: the Master's novel also deals with this same spring full moon when Christ's fate is sealed by Pontius Pilate and he is crucified in Jerusalem.
All three events in the novel are linked by this.
Margarita enters naked into the realm of night.
She flies over the deep forests and rivers of the USSR.
She bathes, and returns with Azazello, her escort, to Moscow as the anointed hostess for Satan's great Spring Ball.
Standing by his side, she welcomes the dark celebrities of human history as they arrive from Hell.
She survives this ordeal without breaking, and for her pains, Satan offers to grant Margarita her deepest wish.
Margarita selflessly chooses to liberate a woman whom she met at the ball.
Satan grants her first wish and offers her another, saying the first wish was unrelated to Margarita's own desires.
For her second wish, she chooses to liberate the Master and live in poverty-stricken love with him.
The Master and Margarita, for not having lost their faith in humanity, are granted peace but are denied light – that is, they will spend eternity together in a shadowy yet pleasant region, having not earned the glories of Heaven, but not deserving the punishments of Hell.
As a parallel to the Master and Margarita's freedom, Pontius Pilate is also released from his eternal punishment.

Bulgakov continued to polish the work, aided by his wife, but was forced to stop work on the fourth version four weeks before his death in 1940.
There are quite a few published English translations of The Master and Margarita, including:
Michael Glenny, New York: Harper & Row, 1967; London: Harvill, 1967; with introduction by Simon Franklin, New York: Knopf, 1992; London: Everyman's Library, 1992.
Diana Burgin and Katherine Tiernan O'Connor, annotations and afterword by Ellendea Proffer, Ann Arbor: Ardis, 1993, 1995; New York: Vintage Books, 1996.
Richard Pevear and Larissa Volokhonsky, London: Penguin, 1997.
Michael Karpelson, Lulu Press, 2006.
Hugh Aplin, One World Classics, 2008.
The early translation by Glenny runs more smoothly than the modern translations.
Some Russian-speaking readers consider it to be the only one creating the desired effect, though it may take liberties with the text.
As an example, Glenny's translations leaves out Bulgakov's "crucial" reference to the devil in Berlioz's thought:
"I ought to drop everything and run down to Kislovodsk." (
Glenny)
"It's time to throw everything to the devil and go to Kislovodsk." (
Burgin, Tiernan O'Connor)
"It's time to send it all to the devil and go to Kislovodsk." (
Pevear, Volokhonsky)
"To hell with everything, it's time to take that Kislovodsk vacation." (
Karpelson)
"It’s time to let everything go to the devil and be off to Kislovodsk.” (
Aplin)
Several literary critics have hailed the Burgin/Tiernan O’Connor translation as the most accurate and complete English translation.
There are matching annotations by Bulgakov's biographer, Ellendea Proffer.
However, these judgements came before the translation by Pevear and Volokhonsky.

Padmashali () or Padma Bramhana is a Hindu Bramhin in origin,and took up artisan tasks are  predominantly found in South Indian States.
Padmashali Bhargava Brahmins are Rugvedi Brahmins.
The community members are traditionally weavers specialised in making clothes of all kinds.
They engage as priests Brahmins for performing all rites and rituals and also perform services as temple Priests for other castes.
The term Padmashali is derived from two words Padma and Shali, The Padma means lotus and Shali means weaver.
They support their Sanskrit origin with various myths and Puranas such as Kulapurana and Markandeya Purana.
The Padmashalis claim to be descendants from Bhrigu Rishi and Markandeya Rishi, Markandeya's son Bhavana Rishi who were born one hundred and one son; they took to weaving and the first clothes they wore was out of the fibres of the lotus stem so they came to be known as Padmashalis.
Padmashalis Today
The Padmashalis divided into two groups based on Sampradaya, being the Shaivas and the Vaishnavas and they worship both Shiva and Vishnu.
Although Padmashalis are related to Brahmins, they are considered as a backward (OBC) caste by the Indian government while forward caste in some states.
The community is highly Sanskritised, with all men wearing the sacred thread and performing the similar rituals which north Indian Brahmins do, like North Indian Brahmin castes, their origin relates to sages as gothras.
The Padmashalis basically perform Brahmin rites and even today a group who are qualified as agama shastra pandits perform the poojas and vedic rites.
They are identified as Padma Brahmins.

The Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire is the short title of an important book by the 18th century English historian Edward Gibbon.
The book traces the Roman Empire—and Western civilization as a whole—from the late first century AD to the fall of the Eastern or Byzantine Empire.
Published in six volumes, from volume I in 1776 to volumes IV, V, VI in 1788–89.
The work covers the history of the Roman Empire, Europe, and the Catholic Church from 98 to 1590 AD, and discusses the decline of the Roman Empire in the East and its fall in the West.
Because of its relative objectivity and heavy use of primary sources, its methodology became a model for later historians.
This led to Gibbon being called the first "modern historian of ancient Rome".
According to Gibbon, the Roman Empire succumbed to barbarian invasions because its citizens gradually lost their "civic virtue".
They had become weak, using  barbarian mercenaries to defend their Empire, who then became so numerous that they were able to take over the Empire.
Romans, he believed, became unwilling to live the tougher, "manly" military lifestyle.
In addition, Gibbon argued that Christianity created a belief that a better life existed after death.
This fostered an indifference to the present among Roman citizens, and sapped their desire to sacrifice for the Empire.
He also believed its pacifism tended to hamper the traditional Roman martial spirit.
Finally, like other Enlightenment thinkers, Gibbon held in contempt the Middle Ages as a priest-ridden, superstitious, "dark age".
It was not until his own age of reason and rational thought, so it was believed, that human history could resume its progress.
Gibbon sees the Praetorian Guard as the main catalyst of the empire's initial decay and eventual collapse, a seed planted by Augustus at the start of the empire.
He cites repeated examples of the Praetorian Guard abusing their power with calamitous results, including numerous instances of imperial assassination and incessant demands for increased pay.
Views on Christianity
In Volume I, especially Chapters XV and XVI, Gibbon challenged Church history.
He estimated far smaller numbers of Christian martyrs than had been previously thought.
The Church's version of its early history had rarely been questioned before.
For Gibbon, however, the Church writings were secondary sources.
He shunned them in favour of primary sources from the period he was writing about.
This is one reason why Gibbon is referred to as the "first modern historian".
"The introduction, or at least the abuse, of Christianity, had some influence on the decline and fall of the Roman empire.
The clergy successfully preached the doctrines of patience and pusillanimity; the active virtues of society were discouraged; and the last remains of military spirit were buried in the cloister".
"The various modes of worship which prevailed in the Roman world were all considered by the people as equally true; by the philosophers as equally false; and by the magistrate as equally useful". (
volume 1, chapter 1)
Later historians have mostly not agreed with Gibbon.
Today, historians tend to analyze economic and military factors in the decline of Rome.
The complexities of the problem are addressed in Womersley's introduction and appendices to his complete edition.

Samizdat was the underground literature of the Soviet Union.
Since many authors were banned, and could not publish their works, people used typescripts to circulate their work.
Penalties for being caught with copies of banned works was severe.
Owning a printing press required permission, and all forms of printing required a licence.
However, typewriters were common and, with the aid of carbon paper, many copies of the best works were produced and circulated.
Once samizdats were in circulation, they sometimes got into the West.
Several important works were published from samizdat and translated, before they were published in the Soviet Union.
