The deuterocanonical books ( from the Greek meaning `` belonging to the second canon '' ) is a term adopted in 16th century by the Roman Catholic Church to denote those books and passages of the Christian Old Testament , as defined in 1546 by the Council of Trent , that were not found in the Hebrew Bible . The term distinguished these texts both from those that were termed protocanonical books , which were the books of the Hebrew canon ; and from the apocryphal books , which were those books of Jewish origin that were known sometimes to have been read in church as scripture but which the Council considered not to be canonical .

The Chinese Immigration Act , 1923 , known today as the Chinese Exclusion Act , was an act passed by the Parliament of Canada , banning most forms of Chinese immigration to Canada . Immigration from most countries was controlled or restricted in some way , but only the Chinese were so completely prohibited from immigrating .


All cars must be front - engined and rear - wheel drive . All cars use a 5.0 - litre , naturally aspirated V8 - engine with electronic fuel injection , capable of producing between 460 and 485 kW ( 620 -- 650 bhp ) . Manufacturers are free to choose between using an engine based on one from their own line up or a generic engine provided by V8 Supercars . Both Ford and Holden use US - based racing engines with pushrod actuated valves and two valves per cylinder . Mercedes , Nissan and Volvo use modified versions of their own engines , with hydraulic - lift valves and four valves per cylinder . All engines are electronically limited to 7,500 rpm and have a compression ratio of 10 : 1 .


In the biological sciences , nitrogenous bases are increasingly termed nucleobases because of their role in nucleic acids - their flat shape is particularly important when considering their roles as the building blocks of DNA and RNA . A set of five nitrogenous bases is used in the construction of nucleotides , which in turn build up the nucleic acids like DNA and RNA . These nitrogenous bases are adenine ( A ) , uracil ( U ) , guanine ( G ) , thymine ( T ) , and cytosine ( C ) . These nitrogenous bases hydrogen bond between opposing DNA strands to form the rungs of the `` twisted ladder '' or double helix of DNA or a biological catalyst that is found in the nucleotides . Adenine is always paired with thymine , and guanine is always paired with cytosine . These are known as base pairs . Uracil is only present in RNA , replacing thymine . Pyrimidines include thymine , cytosine , and uracil . They have a single ring structure . Purines include adenine and guanine . They have a double ring structure .


An unsaturated fat is a fat or fatty acid in which there is at least one double bond within the fatty acid chain . A fatty acid chain is monounsaturated if it contains one double bond , and polyunsaturated if it contains more than one double bond .


Laika was found as a stray wandering the streets of Moscow . Soviet scientists chose to use Moscow strays since they assumed that such animals had already learned to endure conditions of extreme cold and hunger . This specimen was an eleven - pound mongrel female , approximately three years old . Another account reported that she weighed about 6 kg ( 13 lb ) . Soviet personnel gave her several names and nicknames , among them Kudryavka ( Russian for Little Curly ) , Zhuchka ( Little Bug ) , and Limonchik ( Little Lemon ) . Laika , the Russian name for several breeds of dogs similar to the husky , was the name popularised around the world . The American press dubbed her Muttnik ( mutt + suffix - nik ) as a pun on Sputnik , or referred to her as Curly . Her true pedigree is unknown , although it is generally accepted that she was part husky or other Nordic breed , and possibly part terrier . NASA refers to Laika as a `` part - Samoyed terrier . '' A Russian magazine described her temperament as phlegmatic , saying that she did not quarrel with other dogs . Vladimir Yazdovsky , who led the program of test dogs used on rockets , in a later publication wrote that `` Laika was quiet and charming '' .


In Harry Potter and the Philosopher 's Stone , Voldemort 's manifestation is as a face on the back of Quirrell 's head , an effect achieved by computer generated imagery . Ian Hart , the actor who played Quirrell in the same film , provided the voice and the facial source for this character . Voldemort also appears in a scene in the Forbidden Forest where he is seen drinking the blood of a unicorn . As Voldemort 's face was altered enough by CG work , and Hart 's voice was affected enough , there was no confusion by Hart 's playing of the two roles . In that film , he was also shown in a flashback sequence when he arrived at the home of James and Lily Potter to kill them . In this scene Voldemort is played by Richard Bremmer , though his face is never seen . His next appearance would be in Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets as the 16 - year - old Tom Marvolo Riddle ( portrayed by Christian Coulson ) .


Before 1923 , Chinese immigration was heavily controlled by the Chinese Immigration Act of 1885 , which imposed a hefty head tax on all immigrants from China . After various members of the federal and some provincial governments ( especially British Columbia ) put pressure on the federal government to discourage Chinese immigration , the Chinese Immigration Act was passed . It went into effect on July 1 , 1923 . The act banned Chinese immigrants from entering Canada except those under the following titles :

Symbolic interactionism comes from a sociological perspective which developed around the middle of the twentieth century and that continues to be influential in some areas of the discipline . It is particularly important in microsociology and social psychology . It is derived from the American philosophy of pragmatism and particularly from the work of George Herbert Mead , as a pragmatic method to interpret social interactions .


Ghosts of Girlfriends Past was originally set up at Touchstone Pictures with Ben Affleck attached to play the lead character , but he opted out of the movie . It was primarily filmed at Castle Hill in Ipswich , Massachusetts The film was also the first pairing of Michael Douglas and Anne Archer since the 1987 hit thriller Fatal Attraction , although they shared no scenes together .

The content of the document emerged largely from the ideals of the Enlightenment . The key drafts were prepared by Lafayette , working at times with his close friend Thomas Jefferson . In August 1789 , Honoré Mirabeau played a central role in conceptualizing and drafting the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen .


In plant anatomy , sieve tube elements , also called sieve tube members , are highly specialised type of elongated cell in the phloem tissue of flowering plants . The ends of these cells are connected with other sieve tube members , and together they constitute the sieve tube . The main function of the sieve tube is transport of carbohydrates , primarily sucrose , in the plant ( e.g. , from the leaves to the fruits and roots ) . Unlike the water - conducting xylem vessel elements that are dead when mature , sieve elements are living cells . They are unique in lacking a nucleus at maturity .

The Pittsburgh Steelers ( 6 -- 2 ) have won the most Super Bowls with six championships , while the New England Patriots ( 5 - 4 ) , the Dallas Cowboys ( 5 -- 3 ) , and the San Francisco 49ers ( 5 -- 1 ) have five wins . New England has the most Super Bowl appearances with nine , while the Buffalo Bills ( 0 -- 4 ) have the most consecutive appearances with four losses in a row from 1990 to 1993 . The Miami Dolphins are the only other team to have at least three consecutive appearances : 1972 -- 74 . The Denver Broncos ( 3 -- 5 ) have lost a record five Super Bowls . The New England Patriots ( 5 -- 4 ) , the Minnesota Vikings ( 0 -- 4 ) , and the Bills have lost four . The record for consecutive wins is two and is shared by seven franchises : the 1966 -- 67 Green Bay Packers , the 1972 -- 73 Miami Dolphins , the 1974 -- 75 and 1978 -- 79 Pittsburgh Steelers ( the only team to accomplish this feat twice ) , the 1988 -- 89 San Francisco 49ers , the 1992 -- 93 Dallas Cowboys , the 1997 -- 98 Denver Broncos , and the 2003 -- 04 New England Patriots . Among those , Dallas ( 1992 -- 93 ; 1995 ) and New England ( 2001 ; 2003 -- 04 ) are the only teams to win three out of four consecutive Super Bowls . The 1972 Dolphins capped off the only perfect season in NFL history with their victory in Super Bowl VII . The only team with multiple Super Bowl appearances and no losses is the Baltimore Ravens , who in winning Super Bowl XLVII defeated and replaced the 49ers in that position . Four current NFL teams have never appeared in a Super Bowl , including franchise relocations and renaming : the Cleveland Browns , Detroit Lions , Jacksonville Jaguars , and Houston Texans , though both the Browns ( 1964 ) and Lions ( 1957 ) had won NFL championship games prior to the creation of the Super Bowl .

The black students have a meeting in the gymnasium in auditioning to play for the team until Boone arrives , but the meeting turns into a fiasco when Yoast and white students interrupt . On August 15 , 1971 , the players gather and journey to Gettysburg College , where their training camp takes place . As their days of training camp progress , black and white football team members frequently clash in racially motivated conflicts , including some between captains Gerry Bertier and Julius Campbell . But after forceful coaching and rigorous athletic training by Boone , which includes an early morning run to the Gettysburg cemetery , and a motivational speech , the team achieves racial harmony and success . After returning from football camp , Boone is told by a member of the school board that if he loses even a single game , he will be dismissed . Subsequently , the Titans go through the season undefeated while battling racial prejudice , before slowly gaining support from the community . Gerry even has his best friend Ray removed from the team because of his racism , following a game where he intentionally missed a block which consequently led to the near - season - ending injury of starting quarterback Jerry `` Rev '' Harris .


`` Push It '' is a song by the group Salt - n - Pepa . It was released as the B - side of the `` Tramp '' single in 1987 , and as its own single in 1988 .

If the data - set of a randomly selected representative sample is very unlikely relative to the null hypothesis ( defined as being part of a class of sets of data that only rarely will be observed ) , the experimenter rejects the null hypothesis concluding it ( probably ) is false . This class of data - sets is usually specified via a test statistic which is designed to measure the extent of apparent departure from the null hypothesis . The procedure works by assessing whether the observed departure measured by the test statistic is larger than a value defined so that the probability of occurrence of a more extreme value is small under the null hypothesis ( usually in less than either 5 % or 1 % of similar data - sets in which the null hypothesis does hold ) .


The Nobel Prize in Literature ( Swedish : Nobelpriset i litteratur ) has been awarded annually , since 1901 , to an author from any country who has , in the words of the will of Alfred Nobel , produced `` in the field of literature the most outstanding work in an ideal direction '' ( original Swedish : den som inom litteraturen har producerat det mest framstående verket i en idealisk riktning ) . Though individual works are sometimes cited as being particularly noteworthy , here `` work '' refers to an author 's work as a whole . The Swedish Academy decides who , if anyone , will receive the prize in any given year . The academy announces the name of the chosen laureate in early October . It is one of the five Nobel Prizes established by the will of Alfred Nobel in 1895 ; the others are the Nobel Prize in Chemistry , Nobel Prize in Physics , Nobel Peace Prize , and Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine .

The New York City Subway is a rapid transit system owned by the City of New York and leased to the New York City Transit Authority , a subsidiary agency of the state - run Metropolitan Transportation Authority ( MTA ) . Opened in 1904 , the New York City Subway is one of the world 's oldest public transit systems , one of the world 's most used metro systems , and the metro system with the most stations . It offers service 24 hours per day on every day of the year .


Some critiques of symbolic interactionism are based on the assumption that it is a theory , and the critiques apply the criteria for a `` good '' theory to something that does not claim to be a theory . Some critics find the symbolic interactionist framework too broad and general when they are seeking specific theories . Symbolic interactionism is a theoretical framework rather than a theory ( see Stryker and Vryan , 2003 , for a clear distinction between the two as it pertains to interactionist - inspired conceptualizations ) can be assessed on the basis of effective conceptualizations . The theoretical framework , as with any theoretical framework , is vague when it comes to analyzing empirical data or predicting outcomes in social life . As a framework rather than a theory , many scholars find it difficult to use . Interactionism being a framework rather than a theory makes it impossible to test interactionism in the manner that a specific theoretical claim about the relationship between specific variables in a given context allows . Unlike the symbolic interactionist framework , the many theories derived from symbolic interactionism , such as role theory and the versions of Identity Theory developed by Stryker , and Burke and colleagues , clearly define concepts and the relationships between them in a given context , thus allowing for the opportunity to develop and test hypotheses . Further , especially among Blumerian processual interactionists , a great number of very useful conceptualizations have been developed and applied in a very wide range of social contexts , types of populations , types of behaviors , and cultures and subcultures .

The Great Blizzard of 1888 helped demonstrate the benefits of an underground transportation system . A plan for the construction of the subway was approved in 1894 , and construction began in 1900 . The first underground line of the subway opened on October 27 , 1904 , almost 36 years after the opening of the first elevated line in New York City , which became the IRT Ninth Avenue Line . The fare was $0.05 and on the first day the trains carried over 150,000 passengers . The oldest structure still in use opened in 1885 as part of the BMT Lexington Avenue Line in Brooklyn and is now part of the BMT Jamaica Line . The oldest right - of - way , which is part of the BMT West End Line near Coney Island Creek , was in use in 1864 as a steam railroad called the Brooklyn , Bath and Coney Island Rail Road .

Mexico is one of the world 's most seismically active regions , sitting atop several intersecting tectonic plates . The border between the Cocos Plate and North American Plate , along the Pacific Coast of Mexico , creates a subduction zone that generates large seismic events . Activity along the edges of the Rivera and Caribbean plates also generate seismic events . All together , these seismic forces cause an average of 40 earthquakes a day in Mexico .

In rugby union a scrum is a means of restarting play after a minor infringement . It involves up to eight players from each team , known as the pack or forward pack , binding together in three rows and interlocking with the free opposing teams forwards . At this point the ball is fed into the gap between the two forward packs and they both compete for the ball to win possession . Teams can be penalised for intentionally causing the scrum to collapse , and for not putting the ball into the scrum correctly . A scrum is most commonly awarded when the ball is knocked forward , or passed forward , or when a ball becomes trapped in a ruck or maul . Because of the physical nature of scrums , injuries can occur , especially in the front row .

The killer whale was sold for $8,000 to Ted Griffin , a Seattle public aquarium owner . Named after his place of capture , Namu was the subject of a film that changed some people 's attitudes toward orcas .

The Dust Bowl , also known as the Dirty Thirties , was a period of severe dust storms that greatly damaged the ecology and agriculture of the American and Canadian prairies during the 1930s ; severe drought and a failure to apply dryland farming methods to prevent wind erosion ( the Aeolian processes ) caused the phenomenon . The drought came in three waves , 1934 , 1936 , and 1939 -- 1940 , but some regions of the high plains experienced drought conditions for as many as eight years . With insufficient understanding of the ecology of the plains , farmers had conducted extensive deep plowing of the virgin topsoil of the Great Plains during the previous decade ; this had displaced the native , deep - rooted grasses that normally trapped soil and moisture even during periods of drought and high winds . The rapid mechanization of farm equipment , especially small gasoline tractors , and widespread use of the combine harvester contributed to farmers ' decisions to convert arid grassland ( much of which received no more than 10 inches ( 250 mm ) of precipitation per year ) to cultivated cropland .

The ancient Greek and Roman philosophers and physicians associated old age with increasing dementia . It was not until 1901 that German psychiatrist Alois Alzheimer identified the first case of what became known as Alzheimer 's disease , named after him , in a fifty - year - old woman he called Auguste D. He followed her case until she died in 1906 , when he first reported publicly on it . During the next five years , eleven similar cases were reported in the medical literature , some of them already using the term Alzheimer 's disease . The disease was first described as a distinctive disease by Emil Kraepelin after suppressing some of the clinical ( delusions and hallucinations ) and pathological features ( arteriosclerotic changes ) contained in the original report of Auguste D. He included Alzheimer 's disease , also named presenile dementia by Kraepelin , as a subtype of senile dementia in the eighth edition of his Textbook of Psychiatry , published on 15 July , 1910 .

The color of the bridge is officially an orange vermilion called international orange . The color was selected by consulting architect Irving Morrow because it complements the natural surroundings and enhances the bridge 's visibility in fog . Aesthetics was the foremost reason why the first design of Joseph Strauss was rejected . Upon re-submission of his bridge construction plan , he added details , such as lighting , to outline the bridge 's cables and towers . In 1999 , it was ranked fifth on the List of America 's Favorite Architecture by the American Institute of Architects .


Mendicant orders are , primarily , certain Christian religious orders that have adopted a lifestyle of poverty , traveling , and living in urban areas for purposes of preaching , evangelism , and ministry , especially to the poor . At their foundation these orders rejected the previously established monastic model . This foresaw living in one stable , isolated community where members worked at a trade and owned property in common , including land , buildings and other wealth . By contrast , the mendicants avoided owning property , did not work at a trade , and embraced a poor , often itinerant lifestyle . They depended for their survival on the goodwill of the people to whom they preached .


The Panzer Army Africa ( Panzerarmee Afrika ) , composed of German and Italian infantry and mechanised units under Generalfeldmarschall Erwin Rommel , had struck deep into Egypt by 12 July 1942 after its success at the Battle of Gazala . This threatened the British Empire 's control of the Suez Canal and Mandatory Palestine . General Claude Auchinleck withdrew the Eighth Army to within 80 kilometres ( 50 mi ) of Alexandria to a point where the Qattara Depression came to within 64 kilometres ( 40 mi ) of El Alamein on the coast . This gave the defenders a short front to defend and provided secure flanks because tanks could not traverse the Depression . The Axis advance was halted here in early July in the First Battle of El Alamein .

Stephen Lang as Lieutenant General Stonewall Jackson ( CSA )


In June 1919 , the Allies declared that war would resume if the German government did not sign the treaty they had agreed to among themselves . The government headed by Philipp Scheidemann was unable to agree on a common position , and Scheidemann himself resigned rather than agree to sign the treaty . Gustav Bauer , the head of the new government , sent a telegram stating his intention to sign the treaty if certain articles were withdrawn , including Articles 227 , 230 and 231 . In response , the Allies issued an ultimatum stating that Germany would have to accept the treaty or face an invasion of Allied forces across the Rhine within 24 hours . On 23 June , Bauer capitulated and sent a second telegram with a confirmation that a German delegation would arrive shortly to sign the treaty . On 28 June 1919 , the fifth anniversary of the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand ( the immediate impetus for the war ) , the peace treaty was signed . The treaty had clauses ranging from war crimes , the prohibition on the merging of Austria with Germany without the consent of the League of Nations , freedom of navigation on major European rivers , to the returning of a Koran to the king of Hedjaz .

The Vampire Diaries is an American supernatural drama television series developed by Kevin Williamson and Julie Plec , based on the popular book series of the same name written by L.J. Smith . The series premiered on The CW on September 10 , 2009 , and concluded on March 10 , 2017 , airing 171 episodes over eight seasons .


Irving Morrow , a relatively unknown residential architect , designed the overall shape of the bridge towers , the lighting scheme , and Art Deco elements , such as the tower decorations , streetlights , railing , and walkways . The famous International Orange color was originally used as a sealant for the bridge . The US Navy had wanted it to be painted with black and yellow stripes to ensure visibility by passing ships .


The bridge was originally painted with red lead primer and a lead - based topcoat , which was touched up as required . In the mid-1960s , a program was started to improve corrosion protection by stripping the original paint and repainting the bridge with zinc silicate primer and vinyl topcoats .

After Scheidemann ′ s resignation , a new coalition government was formed under Gustav Bauer . President Friedrich Ebert knew that Germany was in an impossible situation . Although he shared his countrymen 's disgust with the treaty , he was sober enough to consider the possibility that the government would not be in a position to reject it . He believed that if Germany refused to sign the treaty , the Allies would invade Germany from the west -- and there was no guarantee that the army would be able to make a stand in the event of an invasion . With this in mind , he asked Field Marshal Paul von Hindenburg if the army was capable of any meaningful resistance in the event the Allies resumed the war . If there was even the slightest chance that the army could hold out , Ebert intended to recommend against ratifying the treaty . Hindenburg -- after prodding from his chief of staff , Wilhelm Groener -- concluded the army could not resume the war even on a limited scale . However , rather than inform Ebert himself , he had Groener inform the government that the army would be in an untenable position in the event of renewed hostilities . Upon receiving this , the new government recommended signing the treaty . The National Assembly voted in favour of signing the treaty by 237 to 138 , with five abstentions ( there were 421 delegates in total ) . This result was wired to Clemenceau just hours before the deadline . Foreign minister Hermann Müller and colonial minister Johannes Bell travelled to Versailles to sign the treaty on behalf of Germany . The treaty was signed on 28 June 1919 and ratified by the National Assembly on 9 July by a vote of 209 to 116 .

American foreign policy was largely determined by President Woodrow Wilson , who had shown little interest in foreign affairs before entering the White House in 1913 . His chief advisor was `` Colonel '' Edward House , who was sent on many top - level missions . With the outbreak of war in 1914 , the United States declared neutrality and worked to broker a peace . It insisted on its neutral rights , which included allowing private corporations and banks to sell or loan money to either side . With the British blockade , there were almost no sales or loans to Germany , only to the Allies . The widely publicized German atrocities in Germany Shocked American public opinion . Neutrality was supported by Irish - Americans , who hated Britain , by German Americans who wanted to remain neutral , and by women and the churches . It was supported by the more educated upscale WASP element , led by Theodore Roosevelt . Wilson insisted on neutrality , denouncing both British and German violations , especially those German violations in which American civilians were killed . The German U-boat torpedoed the RMS Lusitania in 1915 . It sank in 20 minutes , killing killed 128 American civilians and over 1000 Britons . It was against the laws of war to sink any passenger ship without allowing the passengers to reach the life boats . American opinion turned strongly against Germany as a bloodthirsty threat to civilization . Germany apologized and repeatedly promised to stop attacks by its U-boats , but reversed course in early 1917 when it saw the opportunity to strangle Britain by unrestricted submarine warfare . It also made overtures to Mexico , in the Zimmermann Telegram , hoping to divert American military attention to south of the border . The German decision was not made or approved by the civilian government in Berlin , the by the military commanders and the Kaiser . They realized it meant war with the United States , but hoped to weaken the British by cutting off its imports , and strike a winning below with German soldiers transferred from the Eastern front , where Russia had surrendered . Following the repeated sinking of American merchant ships in early 1917 , Wilson asked and obtained a declaration of war in April 1917 . He neutralized the antiwar element by arguing this was a war With the main goal of ending aggressive militarism and indeed ending all wars . During the war the U.S. was not officially tied to the Allies by treaty , but military cooperation meant that the American contribution became significant in mid-1918 . After the failure of the German spring offensive , as fresh American troops arrived in France at 10,000 a day , the Germans were in a hopeless position , and surrendered . Coupled with Wilson 's Fourteen Points in January 1918 , the U.S. now had the initiative on the military , diplomatic and public relations fronts . Wilsonianism -- Wilson 's ideals -- had become the hope of the world , including the civilian population Germany itself .


Jonathan Harris ( born Jonathan Daniel Charasuchin ; November 6 , 1914 -- November 3 , 2002 ) was an American character actor .

Near the end of his career , he provided voices for the animated features A Bug 's Life and Toy Story 2 .


In the original film , Pusser uses a wooden club to beat the criminals . Director Kevin Bray wanted to update it by making it a baseball bat . There were objections , so the compromise was just to add a handle . Although it was filmed in Squamish , British Columbia , Canada , the setting of this 2004 film is in semi-rural Kitsap County , Washington , and not in the McNairy County , Tennessee , where Buford Pusser originally served as a sheriff .


There are several other exceptions to a simple left - right division of heart failure symptoms . Additionally , the most common cause of right - sided heart failure is left - sided heart failure . The result is that patients commonly present with both sets of signs and symptoms .


Thomas `` Tom '' Hagen is a fictional character in Mario Puzo 's novel Godfather and Francis Ford Coppola 's films The Godfather and The Godfather Part II . He is portrayed by Robert Duvall in the films .


The Wurtz reaction , named after Charles - Adolphe Wurtz , is a coupling reaction in organic chemistry , organometallic chemistry and recently inorganic main group polymers , whereby two alkyl halides are reacted with sodium metal in dry ether solution to form a higher alkane :


Eukaryotes often have multiple origins of replication on each linear chromosome that initiate at different times ( replication timing ) , with up to 100,000 present in a single human cell . Having many origins of replication helps to speed the duplication of their ( usually ) much larger store of genetic material . The segment of DNA that is copied starting from each unique replication origin is called a replicon .

`` Do Your Ears Hang Low ? '' ( Roud 15472 ) is a children 's song that is often sung in schools , at camps and at birthday parties . The melody of this song is usually a shorter version of `` Turkey in the Straw '' , but it can also be sung to the `` Sailor 's Hornpipe '' . Various theories exist concerning the origin of the lyrics , but no conclusive evidence seems to exist . A common belief is that the lyrics refer to the ears of a hound dog . It is most likely that this was a crude wartime soldiers ' song that , in sanitized form , has made its way into other circles .


In the following eleven seasons , New York had limited success , reaching the playoffs only once and enduring a string of disastrous seasons , including a 1 -- 15 record in 1996 .

Active absorption refers to the absorption of water by roots with the help of ATP , generated by the root respiration : as the root cells actively take part in the process , it is called active absorption . According to Renner , active absorption takes place in low transpiring and well - watered plants , and 4 % of total water absorption is carried out in this process . The active absorption is carried out by two theories ; active osmotic water absorption and Active non-osmotic water absorption . In this process energy is required .


The Rough Riders was a nickname given to the 1st United States Volunteer Cavalry , one of three such regiments raised in 1898 for the Spanish -- American War and the only one of the three to see action . The United States Army was small and understaffed in comparison to its status during the American Civil War roughly thirty years prior . As a measure towards rectifying this situation President William McKinley called upon 125,000 volunteers to assist in the war efforts . The regiment was also called `` Wood 's Weary Walkers '' in honor of its first commander , Colonel Leonard Wood . This nickname served to acknowledge that despite being a cavalry unit they ended up fighting on foot as infantry .


The alkali metals are a group ( column ) in the periodic table consisting of the chemical elements lithium ( Li ) , sodium ( Na ) , potassium ( K ) , rubidium ( Rb ) , caesium ( Cs ) , and francium ( Fr ) . This group lies in the s - block of the periodic table of elements as all alkali metals have their outermost electron in an s - orbital : this shared electron configuration results in their having very similar characteristic properties . Indeed , the alkali metals provide the best example of group trends in properties in the periodic table , with elements exhibiting well - characterised homologous behaviour .


The first series of the show was filmed near Cairns , in Queensland , Australia . Since the second series , the programme has been filmed in Springbrook National Park , near Murwillumbah , New South Wales , Australia .

I 'm a Celebrity ... Get Me Out Of Here ! ( often shortened to I 'm a Celebrity or I 'm a Celeb ) is a British survival reality television game show , first aired on 25 August 2002 , in which celebrities live in jungle conditions with few creature comforts . The show has been hosted by Ant & Dec since its inception and served as the inspiration for a franchise of the same name .

U.S. Route 66 ( US 66 , Route 66 ) is a part of a former United States Numbered Highway in the state of California that ran from the west in Santa Monica on the Pacific Ocean through Los Angeles and San Bernardino to Needles at the Arizona state line . It was truncated during the 1964 renumbering and its signage removed in 1974 . The highway is now mostly replaced with several streets in Los Angeles , State Route 66 ( SR 66 ) , Interstate 15 ( I - 15 ) and I - 40 .


Wildlife adapted to these harsh conditions includes few large birds or mammals . However , the desert does sustain many types of lizard including the vulnerable great desert skink ( Egernia kintorei ) and a number of small marsupials including the endangered sandhill dunnart ( Sminthopsis psammophila ) and the crest - tailed mulgara ( Dasycercus cristicauda ) . One way to survive here is to burrow into the sands , as a number of the desert 's animals , including the southern marsupial mole ( Notoryctes typhlops ) , and the water - holding frog do . Birds include the chestnut - breasted whiteface ( Aphelocephala pectoralis ) found on the eastern edge of the desert and the malleefowl of Mamungari Conservation Park . Predators of the desert include the dingo ( as the desert is north of the Dingo Fence ) and two large monitor lizards , the perentie ( Varanus giganteus ) and the sand goanna ( Varanus gouldii ) .


The alkali metals are all shiny , soft , highly reactive metals at standard temperature and pressure and readily lose their outermost electron to form cations with charge + 1 . They can all be cut easily with a knife due to their softness , exposing a shiny surface that tarnishes rapidly in air due to oxidation by atmospheric moisture and oxygen ( and in the case of lithium , nitrogen ) . Because of their high reactivity , they must be stored under oil to prevent reaction with air , and are found naturally only in salts and never as the free elements . Caesium , the fifth alkali metal , is the most reactive of all the metals . In the modern IUPAC nomenclature , the alkali metals comprise the group 1 elements , excluding hydrogen ( H ) , which is nominally a group 1 element but not normally considered to be an alkali metal as it rarely exhibits behaviour comparable to that of the alkali metals . All the alkali metals react with water , with the heavier alkali metals reacting more vigorously than the lighter ones .

In 1885 , Joseph F. Steinwand developed a new type of cheese at his father 's cheese factory near Colby , Wisconsin . The cheese was named after the village , which had been founded three years earlier . While Colby cheese is still widely available , it is no longer produced in Colby . A festival commemorating the cheese is held every year in mid-July where all local food booths offer free Colby cheese . On August 12 , 2015 , the original cheese factory was torn down leaving only the foundations of the building .


Aft on the main deck in the stern was the cabin for Master Christopher Jones , measuring about ten by seven feet ( 3 m × 2.1 m ) . Forward of that was the steerage room , which housed a whipstaff ( tiller extension ) for sailing control ; not a wheel , as in later ships . Also here was the ship 's compass and probably also berths for the ship 's officers . Forward of the steerage room was the capstan , a vertical axle used to pull in ropes or cables . Far forward on the main deck , just aft of the bow , was the forecastle space where the ship 's cook prepared meals for the crew ; it may also have been where the ship 's sailors slept .

The Henry Classification System is a long - standing method by which fingerprints are sorted by physiological characteristics for one - to - many searching . Developed by Hem Chandra Bose , Azizul Haque and Sir Edward Henry in the late 19th century for criminal investigations in British India , it was the basis of modern - day AFIS ( Automated Fingerprint Identification System ) classification methods up until the 1990s . In recent years , the Henry Classification System has generally been replaced by ridge flow classification approaches .


All temples to Vesta were round , and had entrances facing east to symbolize connection between Vesta 's fire and the sun as sources of life .

The fates of Lori and the character of T - Dog in the episode `` Killer Within '' garnered favorable reviews from television commentators . According to HitFix writer Alan Sepinwall , the moment when Lori and Carl share their goodbyes was the most heartbreaking event since the ending of the second season episode `` Pretty Much Dead Already '' . Los Angeles Times columnist Laura Hudson felt it was a grim departure for a character who endured long bouts of grief for reasons beyond her control . Erik Kain from Forbes magazine found Lori 's death especially difficult to watch , and was shocked by T - Dog 's `` sudden '' death despite the fact that he `` was never as prominent a figure '' on the program . `` As hard as these deaths were to watch , '' Kain wrote , `` they also give me faith in the show . '' Even though he stated that T - Dog died `` a hero 's death '' , Michael Rapoport of the Wall Street Journal concluded that Lori 's `` gut - churning '' demise was the more memorable .
