The Battle of Issus occurred in southern Anatolia , on November 5 , 333 BC between the Hellenic League led by Alexander the Great and the Achaemenid Empire , led by Darius III , in the second great battle of Alexander 's conquest of Asia . The invading Macedonian troops defeated Persia . After the Hellenic League soundly defeated the Persian satraps of Asia Minor ( led by Greek mercenary Memnon of Rhodes ) at the Battle of the Granicus , Darius took personal command of his army . He gathered reinforcements and led his men in a surprise march behind the Hellenic advance to cut their line of supply . This forced Alexander to countermarch , setting the stage for the battle near the mouth of the Pinarus River and the town of Issus .

The feminist theory underlying the Duluth Model is that men use violence within relationships to exercise power and control . This is illustrated by the `` Power and Control Wheel , '' a graphic typically displayed as a poster in participating locations . According to the Duluth Model , `` women and children are vulnerable to violence because of their unequal social , economic , and political status in society . '' Treatment of abusive men is focused on re-education , as `` we do not see men 's violence against women as stemming from individual pathology , but rather from a socially reinforced sense of entitlement . '' The program 's philosophy is intended to help batterers work to change their attitudes and personal behavior so they would learn to be nonviolent in any relationship .


There were three major phases in the break - up of Pangaea . The first phase began in the Early - Middle Jurassic ( about 175 Ma ) , when Pangaea began to rift from the Tethys Ocean in the east to the Pacific in the west . The rifting that took place between North America and Africa produced multiple failed rifts . One rift resulted in a new ocean , the North Atlantic Ocean .


The motor of this incessant force of creative destruction is technological change . While the key carrier technology of the first Industrial Revolution ( 1770 -- 1850 ) was based on water - powered mechanization , the second Kondratiev wave ( 1850 -- 1900 ) was enabled by steam - powered technology , the third ( 1900 -- 1940 ) was characterized by the electrification of social and productive organization , the fourth by motorization and the automated mobilization of society ( 1940 -- 1970 ) , and the most recent one by the digitization of social systems . Each one of those so - called long waves has been characterized by a sustained period of social modernization , most notably by sustained periods of increasing economic productivity . According to Carlota Perez : `` this quantum jump in productivity can be seen as a technological revolution , which is made possible by the appearance in the general cost structure of a particular input that we could call the ' key factor ' , fulfilling the following conditions : ( 1 ) clearly perceived low - and descending - relative cost ; ( 2 ) unlimited supply for all practical purposes ; ( 3 ) potential all - pervasiveness ; ( 4 ) a capacity to reduce the costs of capital , labour and products as well as to change them qualitatively '' . Digital Information and Communication Technologies fulfill those requirements and therefore represent a general purpose technology that can transform an entire economy , leading to a modern , and more developed form of socio - economic and political organization often referred to as the post-industrial society , the fifth Kondratiev , Information society , digital age , and network society , among others .

The virion must assemble a stable , protective protein shell to protect the genome from lethal chemical and physical agents . These include forms of natural radiation , extremes of pH or temperature and proteolytic and nucleolytic enzymes . Delivery of the genome is also important by specific binding to external receptors of the host cell , transmission of specific signals that induce uncoating of the genome , and induction of fusion with host cell membranes .


In the summer of 1963 , 17 - year - old Frances `` Baby '' Houseman ( Jennifer Grey ) is vacationing with her affluent family at Kellerman 's , a resort in the Catskill Mountains . Baby is the younger of two daughters , and plans to attend Mount Holyoke College to study economics in underdeveloped countries and then enter the Peace Corps . Her father , Jake ( Jerry Orbach ) , is the doctor and friend of Max Kellerman ( Jack Weston ) , the resort proprietor . Baby is befriended by Max 's grandson Neil ( Lonny Price ) . Baby develops a crush on the resort 's dance instructor , Johnny Castle ( Patrick Swayze ) . Johnny is the leader of the resort 's working - class entertainment staff . Baby encounters Johnny 's cousin Billy on a walk through the resort grounds , and helps him carry watermelons to the staff quarters . The staff hold secret after - hours parties in their quarters , and Baby is surprised by the `` dirty dancing '' they engage in . Intrigued , Baby receives a brief , impromptu dance lesson from Johnny .


Mark first appears in season two , introduced as a highly respected otolaryngologist sub-specialized in plastic surgery and the childhood best friend of neurosurgeon Derek Shepherd ( Patrick Dempsey ) . In his first appearance , he flirts with Meredith Grey , and Derek punches him in the face . Derek explains that Mark had an affair with his wife , Addison ( Kate Walsh ) while they were living in New York . Mark travels to Seattle , intent on convincing Addison to return with him , but his offer is rejected and Derek declines to renew their friendship . Mark returns during season three at Addison 's drunken behest , but she again rejects him once sober . Undeterred , Mark sells his successful private practice ( which he previously shared with Derek ) and takes over the plastics program at Seattle Grace Hospital . During Meredith 's morphine rampage , Mark finds out about his nickname McSteamy which was given to him by her during his first trip to Seattle back when he attempted to get Addison back and earn Derek 's friendship back . It is later revealed that Mark has at some point slept with all of Derek 's sisters . Mark has a brief fling with Addison 's friend , orthopedic surgeon Callie Torres ( Sara Ramirez ) , and develops a friendship with Derek 's girlfriend , intern Meredith Grey ( Ellen Pompeo ) . It is revealed that after Derek left New York , Mark and Addison continued their relationship for two months , during which she conceived and aborted his child . Just weeks after moving to Seattle he quickly observes that Derek 's true love was Meredith and tries to convince Addison that her marriage with Derek was over . Mark enters into a sixty - day abstinence pact with Addison , agreeing that if they can remain celibate for that time , Addison will give their relationship another chance . Addison ultimately breaks the pact by having sex with intern Alex Karev ( Justin Chambers ) , and soon thereafter departs from Seattle to work in Los Angeles .

Both ethnic affiliation ( e.g. Pathan , Sindhi , Baloch , Punjabi , etc . ) and membership of specific biraderis or zaat / quoms are additional integral components of social identity . Within the bounds of endogamy defined by the above parameters , close consanguineous unions are preferred due to a congruence of key features of group - and individual - level background factors as well as affinities . McKim Marriott claims a social stratification that is hierarchical , closed , endogamous and hereditary is widely prevalent , particularly in western parts of Pakistan . Frederik Barth in his review of this system of social stratification in Pakistan suggested that these are castes .


`` Mercedes Benz '' is an a cappella song written by singer Janis Joplin with the poets Michael McClure and Bob Neuwirth , and originally recorded by Joplin . In the song , the singer asks the Lord to prove His love for her by buying her a Mercedes - Benz , a color TV , and a `` night on the town . '' There is also a reference to Dialing for Dollars , a franchised format local television program , which required one to be watching the show to win when the show called your phone number , hence the singer 's need for a TV .


The Great Depression began in August 1929 , when the United States economy first went into an economic recession . Although the country spent two months with declining GDP , it was not until the Wall Street Crash in October 1929 that the effects of a declining economy were felt , and a major worldwide economic downturn ensued . The market crash marked the beginning of a decade of high unemployment , poverty , low profits , deflation , plunging farm incomes , and lost opportunities for economic growth and personal advancement . Although its causes are still uncertain and controversial , the net effect was a sudden and general loss of confidence in the economic future .


In 1975 , the Labor government of Gough Whitlam finally negotiated with Vesteys to give the Gurindji back a portion of their land .

The First Epistle of John , often referred to as First John and written 1 John , is the first of the Johannine epistles of the New Testament , and the fourth of the catholic epistles . It is attributed to John the Evangelist , traditionally thought to be the author of the Gospel of John and the other two Johannine epistles . This epistle was probably written in Ephesus in AD 95 -- 110 . The work was written to counter docetism , which is the belief that Jesus did not come `` in the flesh '' , but only as a spirit . It also defined how Christians are to discern true teachers : by their ethics , their proclamation of Jesus in the flesh , and by their love .

A country could enter more than one club in the competition , making it possible for one country to earn multiple medals .

Sweden was also among the top countries with two medals , one as a member of the mixed team .


Major depressive disorder ( MDD ) , also known simply as depression , is a mental disorder characterized by at least two weeks of low mood that is present across most situations . It is often accompanied by low self - esteem , loss of interest in normally enjoyable activities , low energy , and pain without a clear cause . People may also occasionally have false beliefs or see or hear things that others can not . Some people have periods of depression separated by years in which they are normal while others nearly always have symptoms present . Major depressive disorder can negatively affect a person 's personal , work , or school life , as well as sleeping , eating habits , and general health . Between 2 -- 7 % of adults with major depression die by suicide , and up to 60 % of people who die by suicide had depression or another mood disorder .


Hamburgers are Wimpy 's all - time favorite food , and he is usually seen carrying or eating one or more at a time -- e.g. , in Popeye the Sailor Meets Sindbad the Sailor he is seen grinding meat or eating burgers almost the entire time -- however , he is usually too cheap to pay for them himself . A recurring joke involves Wimpy 's attempts to con other patrons of the diner into buying his meal for him . His best - known catchphrase started in 1931 as , `` Cook me up a hamburger . I 'll pay you Thursday . '' In 1932 , this then became the famous , `` I 'll gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger today . '' The phrase was also slightly altered in the episode `` Spree Lunch '' to `` I 'll have a hamburger , for which I will gladly pay you Tuesday . '' This phrase is now commonly used to illustrate financial irresponsibility and still appears in modern comedies such as The Drew Carey Show and The Office . The initial part of the phrase was even the title of Episode 6 of the fourth season of Cheers `` I 'll Gladly Pay You Tuesday . ''


The Rashidun Caliphs ( Rightly Guided Caliphs ; Arabic : الخلفاء الراشدون  al - Khulafāʾu ar - Rāshidūn ) , often simply called , collectively , `` the Rashidun '' , is a term used in Sunni Islam to refer to the 30 - year reign of the first four caliphs ( successors ) following the death of the Islamic prophet Muhammad , namely : Abu Bakr , Umar , Uthman ibn Affan , and Ali of the Rashidun Caliphate , the first caliphate . The concept of `` Rightly Guided Caliphs '' originated with the later Abbasid Caliphate based in Baghdad . It is a reference to the Sunni imperative `` Hold firmly to my example ( sunnah ) and that of the Rightly Guided Caliphs '' ( Ibn Majah , Abu Dawood ) .

The term `` itai - itai disease '' was coined by locals for the severe pains ( Japanese : 痛い itai ) victims felt in the spine and joints . Cadmium poisoning can also cause softening of the bones and kidney failure . The cadmium was released into rivers by mining companies in the mountains , which were successfully sued for the damage . Itai - itai disease is known as one of the Four Big Pollution Diseases of Japan . A similar thing is Onsan illness .

The whale shark ( Rhincodon typus ) is a slow - moving , filter - feeding carpet shark and the largest known extant fish species . The largest confirmed individual had a length of 12.65 m ( 41.5 ft ) and a weight of about 21.5 t ( 47,000 lb ) . The whale shark holds many records for sheer size in the animal kingdom , most notably being by far the largest living nonmammalian vertebrate . It is the sole member of the genus Rhincodon and the only extant member of the family Rhincodontidae which belongs to the subclass Elasmobranchii in the class Chondrichthyes . Before 1984 it was classified as Rhiniodon into Rhinodontidae . The species originated about 60 million years ago .


The whale shark is the largest non-cetacean animal in the world . The average size of adult whale sharks is estimated at 9.7 m ( 31.82 ft ) and 9 t ( 20,000 lb ) . Several specimens over 18 m ( 59.05 ft ) in length have been reported . The largest verified specimen was caught on 11 November 1947 , near Baba Island , in Karachi , Pakistan . It was 12.65 m ( 41.50 ft ) long , weighed about 21.5 t ( 47,000 lb ) , and had a girth of 7 m ( 23.0 ft ) . Stories exist of vastly larger specimens -- quoted lengths of 18 m ( 59 ft ) and 45.5 t ( 100,000 lb ) are common in the popular literature , but no scientific records support their existence . In 1868 , the Irish natural scientist Edward Perceval Wright obtained several small whale shark specimens in the Seychelles , but claimed to have observed specimens in excess of 15 m ( 49.2 ft ) , and tells of shark specimens surpassing 21 m ( 68.9 ft ) .

Folk etymology has suggested that perhaps the phrases `` saved by the bell '' , `` dead ringer '' and `` graveyard shift '' come from the use of safety coffins in the Victorian era ; however , these have been dispelled as urban myth , attributed to a linguistic e-mail hoax Life in the 1500s . The `` saved by the bell '' expression is actually well established to have come from boxing , where a boxer who is still on their feet but close to being knocked down can be saved from losing by the bell ringing to indicate the end of the round .


Itai - itai disease was caused by cadmium poisoning due to mining in Toyama Prefecture . The earliest records of mining for gold in the area date back to 1710 . Regular mining for silver started in 1589 , and soon thereafter , mining for lead , copper , and zinc began . Increased demand for raw materials during the Russo - Japanese War and World War I , as well as new mining technologies from Europe , increased the output of the mines , putting the Kamioka Mines in Toyama among the world 's top mines . Production increased even more before World War II . Starting in 1910 and continuing through 1945 , cadmium was released in significant quantities by mining operations , and the disease first appeared around 1912 . Prior to World War II , the mining , controlled by the Mitsui Mining & Smelting Co. , Ltd. , increased to satisfy the wartime demand . This subsequently increased the pollution of the Jinzū River and its tributaries . The river was used mainly for irrigation of rice fields , but also for drinking water , washing , fishing , and other uses by downstream populations .


Thai alphabet ( Thai : อักษร ไทย ; RTGS : akson thai ; ( ʔàksɔ̌ːn thāj ) listen ) is used to write the Thai , Southern Thai and other languages in Thailand . It has 44 consonant letters ( Thai : พยัญชนะ , phayanchana ) , 15 vowel symbols ( Thai : สระ , sara ) that combine into at least 28 vowel forms , and four tone diacritics ( Thai : วรรณยุกต์ or วรรณ ยุต , wannayuk or wannayut ) .


Principal photography on the film began in mid-July 2016 in New Orleans .


Singer - songwriters Dan Bern and Mike Viola ( of the Candy Butchers ) wrote most of the film 's songs , including `` There 's a Change a Happenin ' '' , `` Mulatto '' , `` A Life Without You ( Is No Life at All ) '' , `` Beautiful Ride '' and `` Hole in My Pants '' . Charlie Wadhams wrote the song `` Let 's Duet '' . Marshall Crenshaw wrote the title song , and Van Dyke Parks penned the Brian Wilson-esque 1960s - styled psychedelic jam `` Black Sheep '' ( the recording session seems to be a specific parody of Wilson 's Smile album sessions , on which Van Dyke Parks worked ) . Antonio Ortiz wrote `` Take My Hand '' . A number of critics noted the unusually high quality of many of the individual songs on the soundtrack , how well they reflected the styles and times they were attempting to parody , and how well they stood on their own as quality compositions . The soundtrack was nominated for both a Grammy and Golden Globe Award and was nominated and won the Sierra Award for Best Song in a Motion Picture from the Las Vegas Film Critics Society . John C. Reilly sang on all the tracks and played guitar on most of them .


Historian Richard B. Morris in 1973 identified the following seven figures as the key Founding Fathers : John Adams , Benjamin Franklin , Alexander Hamilton , John Jay , Thomas Jefferson , James Madison , and George Washington . Adams , Jefferson , and Franklin were members of the Committee of Five that drafted the Declaration of Independence . Hamilton , Madison , and Jay were authors of The Federalist Papers , advocating ratification of the Constitution . The constitutions drafted by Jay and Adams for their respective states of New York ( 1777 ) and Massachusetts ( 1780 ) were heavily relied upon when creating language for the US Constitution Jay , Adams and Franklin negotiated the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) that would end the American Revolutionary War . Washington was Commander - in - Chief of the Continental Army and was President of the Constitutional Convention . Washington , Jay and Franklin are considered the Founding Fathers of U.S. Intelligence by the CIA . All held additional important roles in the early government of the United States , with Washington , Adams , Jefferson , and Madison serving as President . Jay was the nation 's first Chief Justice . Four of these seven -- Washington , Jay , Hamilton and Madison -- were not signers of the Declaration of Independence .

Before 1986 , people often did not obtain a Social Security number until the age of about 14 , since the numbers were used for income tracking purposes , and those under that age seldom had substantial income . The Tax Reform Act of 1986 required parents to list Social Security numbers for each dependent over the age of 5 for whom the parent wanted to claim a tax deduction . Before this act , parents claiming tax deductions were simply trusted not to lie about the number of children they supported . During the first year of the Tax Reform Act , this anti-fraud change resulted in seven million fewer minor dependents being claimed . The disappearance of these dependents is believed to have involved either children who never existed or tax deductions improperly claimed by non-custodial parents . In 1988 , the threshold was lowered to 2 years old , and in 1990 , the threshold was lowered yet again to 1 year old . Today , an SSN is required regardless of the child 's age to receive an exemption . Since then , parents have often applied for Social Security numbers for their children soon after birth ; today , it can be done on the application for a birth certificate .

According to traditional belief , the popping of joints , especially knuckles , can lead to arthritis and other joint problems . However , medical research has so far failed to conclusively demonstrate a connection between knuckle cracking and long - term joint problems . The cracking mechanism and the resulting sound is caused by carbon dioxide cavitation bubbles suddenly partially collapsing inside the joints .


The song is about the narrator driving a truck owned by his brother , who died in action in the United States Army . Co-writer Connie Harrington was inspired to write it after hearing an interview on Here and Now with a father , Paul Monti , whose son , Medal of Honor recipient Jared , was killed in Afghanistan while trying to save a fellow soldier . In the interview , he states that he drives the truck to feel close to his son .


Catch - 22 is a satirical novel by American author Joseph Heller . He began writing it in 1953 ; the novel was first published in 1961 .

Many southern whites had considered themselves more Southern than American and were prepared to fight for their state and their region to be independent of the larger nation . That regionalism became a Southern nationalism , or the `` Cause '' . For the duration of its existence , the Confederacy underwent trial by war . The `` Southern Cause '' transcended the ideology of states ' rights , tariff policy , or internal improvements . This `` Cause '' supported , or descended from , cultural and financial dependence on the South 's slavery - based economy . The convergence of race and slavery , politics , and economics raised almost all South - related policy questions to the status of moral questions over way of life , commingling love of things Southern and hatred of things Yankee ( the North ) . Not only did national political parties split , but national churches and interstate families as well divided along sectional lines as the war approached . According to historian John M. Coski , `` The statesmen who led the secession movement were unashamed to explicitly cite the defense of slavery as their prime motive ... Acknowledging the centrality of slavery to the Confederacy is essential for understanding the Confederate . ''

The U.S. produces approximately 18 % of the world 's manufacturing output , a share that has declined as other nations developed competitive manufacturing industries . The job loss during this continual volume growth is the result of multiple factors including increased productivity , trade , and secular economic trends . In addition , growth in telecommunications , pharmaceuticals , aircraft , heavy machinery and other industries along with declines in low end , low skill industries such as clothing , toys , and other simple manufacturing have resulted in some U.S. jobs being more highly skilled and better paying . There has been much debate within the United States on whether the decline in manufacturing jobs are related to American unions , lower foreign wages , or both .

The Hittites ( / ˈhɪtaɪts / ) were an Ancient Anatolian people who established an empire centered on Hattusa in north - central Anatolia around 1600 BC . This empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Suppiluliuma I , when it encompassed an area that included most of Anatolia as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia . Between the 15th and 13th centuries BC the Hittite Empire came into conflict with the Egyptian Empire , Middle Assyrian Empire and the empire of the Mitanni for control of the Near East . The Assyrians eventually emerged as the dominant power and annexed much of the Hittite empire , while the remainder was sacked by Phrygian newcomers to the region . After c. 1180 BC , during the Bronze Age collapse , the Hittites splintered into several independent `` Neo-Hittite '' city - states , some of which survived until the 8th century BC before succumbing to the Neo-Assyrian Empire .

In humans the bladder is a hollow muscular organ situated at the base of the pelvis . Urine collects in the bladder , fed from the two ureters that connect the bladder with the kidneys . Urine leaves the bladder via the urethra , a single muscular tube which ends in an opening -- the urinary meatus , where it exits the body .


The urinary bladder is a hollow muscular organ in people and animals that collects and stores urine from the kidneys before disposal by urination . In the human the bladder is a hollow muscular , and distensible ( or elastic ) organ , that sits on the pelvic floor . Urine enters the bladder via the ureters and exits via the urethra . The typical human bladder will hold between 300 and 500 mL ( 10.14 and 16.91 fl oz ) before the urge to empty occurs , but can hold considerably more .

The original early 19th - century interior designs , many of which survive , include widespread use of brightly coloured scagliola and blue and pink lapis , on the advice of Sir Charles Long . King Edward VII oversaw a partial redecoration in a Belle Époque cream and gold colour scheme . Many smaller reception rooms are furnished in the Chinese regency style with furniture and fittings brought from the Royal Pavilion at Brighton and from Carlton House . The palace has 775 rooms , and the garden is the largest private garden in London . The state rooms , used for official and state entertaining , are open to the public each year for most of August and September and on some days in winter and spring .


The palace measures 108 metres ( 354 ft ) by 120 metres ( 390 ft ) , is 24 metres ( 79 ft ) high and contains over 77,000 m ( 830,000 sq ft ) of floorspace . The floor area is smaller than the Royal Palace of Madrid , the Papal Palace and Quirinal Palace in Rome , the Louvre in Paris , the Hofburg Palace in Vienna , and the Forbidden City . There are 775 rooms , including 19 state rooms , 52 principal bedrooms , 188 staff bedrooms , 92 offices , and 78 bathrooms . The palace also has its own post office , cinema , swimming pool , doctor 's surgery , and jeweller 's workshop .


The intersection of two to three barrel vaults produces a rib vault or ribbed vault when they are edged with an armature of piped masonry often carved in decorative patterns ; compare groin vault , an older form of vault construction . While the mechanics of the weight of a groin vault and its transmission outwards to the supporting pillars remained as it had been , the new use of rib vaults demonstrates the skill of the masons and the grandeur of the new ideas circulating at the introduction of Gothic architecture in the end of the eleventh century . This technique was new in the late eleventh century , for example in the roofs of the choir side - aisles at Durham Cathedral .

There has been considerable analysis of different ideological patterns . This kind of analysis has been described by some as meta - ideology -- the study of the structure , form , and manifestation of ideologies . Recent analysis tends to posit that ideology is a coherent system of ideas , relying upon a few basic assumptions about reality that may or may not have any factual basis . Ideas become ideologies ( that is , become coherent , repeated patterns ) through the subjective ongoing choices that people make , serving as the seed around which further thought grows . According to most recent analysis , ideologies are neither necessarily right nor wrong . Believers in ideology range from passive acceptance through fervent advocacy to true belief . An excessive need for certitude lurks at fundamentalist levels in politics and religions .

Belle is a fictional character who appears in Walt Disney Pictures ' animated feature film Beauty and the Beast ( 1991 ) . Originally voiced by American actress and singer Paige O'Hara , Belle is the non-conforming daughter of an inventor who yearns to abandon her predictable village life in return for adventure . When her father Maurice is imprisoned by a cold - hearted beast , Belle offers him her own freedom in exchange for her father 's , and eventually learns to love the Beast despite his unsightly outward appearance .


Matthew Broderick as Simba , son of Mufasa and Sarabi , King of the Pride Lands and Kiara 's father . Cam Clarke provided his singing voice . Ian Harrowell served as the supervising animator for Simba .


Work began on the project in 1994 , and cost £ 800,000 . Most of the project funding was provided by the National Lottery . The Angel was installed on 15 February 1998 .


Completed in 1998 , it is a steel sculpture of an angel , 20 metres ( 66 ft ) tall , with wings measuring 54 metres ( 177 ft ) across . The wings do not stand straight sideways , but are angled 3.5 degrees forward ; Gormley did this to create `` a sense of embrace '' . The angel like much of Gormley 's other work is based on a cast of his body .


A tabby is any domestic cat ( Felis catus ) that has a coat featuring distinctive stripes , dots , lines or swirling patterns , usually together with a mark resembling an ' M ' on its forehead . Tabbies are sometimes erroneously assumed to be a cat breed . In fact , the tabby pattern is found in many breeds , and is a genetic landrace common among the general mixed - breed population . The tabby pattern is a naturally occurring feature that may be related to the coloration of the domestic cat 's direct ancestor , the African wildcat ( Felis lybica lybica ) , which -- along with the European wildcat ( Felis silvestris silvestris ) and Asiatic wildcat ( Felis lybica ornata ) -- has a similar coloration . A genetic study found five genetic clusters from tabbies to be ancestral to wildcats of various parts of the world .


Murray appeared as a guest star in eight episodes of the first season of NCIS ; in season two he joined the main cast and was added to the opening credits .


In computer networking a routing table , or routing information base ( RIB ) , is a data table stored in a router or a networked computer that lists the routes to particular network destinations , and in some cases , metrics ( distances ) associated with those routes . The routing table contains information about the topology of the network immediately around it . The construction of routing tables is the primary goal of routing protocols . Static routes are entries made in a routing table by non-automatic means and which are fixed rather than being the result of some network topology `` discovery '' procedure .

The Comma Johanneum , also called the Johannine Comma or the Heavenly Witnesses , is a comma ( a short clause ) found in Latin manuscripts of the First Epistle of John at 5 : 7 -- 8 . The comma first appeared in the Vulgate manuscripts of the 9th century . The first Greek manuscript that contains the comma dates from the 15th century . The comma is absent from the Ethiopic , Aramaic , Syriac , Slavic , Armenian , Georgian , and Arabic translations of the Greek New Testament . The scholarly consensus is that that passage is a Latin corruption that entered the Greek manuscript tradition in some subsequent copies . As the comma does not appear in the manuscript tradition of other languages , the debate is mainly limited to the English - speaking world due to the King James Only movement .

A large - scale example of an action performed by the cytoskeleton is muscle contraction . In the muscle , there are groups of highly specialized cells that work together to perform a function known as muscle contraction . A main component in the cytoskeleton that helps show the true function of this muscle contraction is known as a microfilament . Microfilaments are composed of the most abundant cellular protein known as actin . During contraction of a muscle , within each muscle cell , myosin molecular motors collectively exert forces on parallel actin filaments . Muscle contraction starts from nerve impulses which then causes increased amounts of calcium to be released from the sarcoplasmic reticulum . Increases in calcium in the cytosol allows muscle contraction to begin with the help of two proteins , tropomyosin and troponin . Tropomyosin inhibits the interaction between actin and myosin , while troponin senses the increase in calcium and releases the inhibition . This action contracts the muscle cell , and through the synchronous process in many muscle cells , the entire muscle .


The film dramatizes the events leading up to the 1973 match between Billie Jean King ( Emma Stone ) and Robert Larimore Riggs ( Steve Carell ) , and their personal lives .

In the United States , the Royal Proclamation of 1763 ended with the American Revolutionary War because Great Britain ceded the land in question to the United States in the Treaty of Paris ( 1783 ) . Afterward , the U.S. government also faced difficulties in preventing frontier violence and eventually adopted policies similar to those of the Royal Proclamation . The first in a series of Indian Intercourse Acts was passed in 1790 , prohibiting unregulated trade and travel in Native American lands . In 1823 , the U.S. Supreme Court case Johnson v. M'Intosh established that only the U.S. government , and not private individuals , could purchase land from Native Americans .

The song was incredibly successful in Europe and Oceania , reaching the top spot in Australia and New Zealand , number 2 in the United Kingdom and Ireland , the Top 5 in Sweden , Norway and the Netherlands , and the Top 10 in Germany , Switzerland , Denmark and Belgium . It also reached number 8 in Brazil . Despite this , however , its success initially did n't translate to the United States , where it only peaked at number 40 . It received fame after being used in the soundtrack to Rugrats in Paris : The Movie and even more so after it became a ubiquitous sports anthem at stadiums and arenas throughout the world , based largely on the efforts of a sports marketing company hired by the song 's producer , Steve Greenberg .


Each B - channel carries data , voice , and other services . The D - channel carries control and signaling information . Larger connections are possible using PRI pairing . A dual T1 - PRI could have 24 + 23 = 47 B - channels and 1 D - channel ( often called `` 47B + D '' ) , but more commonly has 46 B - channels and 2 D - channels thus providing a backup signaling channel . The concept applies to E1s as well and both can include more than 2 PRIs . When configuring multiple T1 's as ISDN - PRI 's , it 's possible to use NFAS ( non-facility associated signalling ) to enable one or two D - channels to support additional B - channels on separate T1 circuits .


The practice began in 1966 when Republican U.S. Senator Everett Dirksen ( Illinois ) and U.S. Representative Gerald Ford ( Michigan ) appeared on TV to offer a response to the address by Democratic President Lyndon Johnson . The opposition party 's response has varied in format , ranging from a prerecorded 45 - minute TV program in 1970 to a call - in show in 1972 where a panel of congressmen answered unrehearsed questions from callers . Since the late 1980s , it usually has been a televised speech given soon after the State of the Union address .

As of 2018 , there were 5,534 registered hospitals in the United States . There were 4,840 community hospitals , which are defined as nonfederal , short - term general , or specialty hospitals . The non-profit hospitals share of total hospital capacity has remained relatively stable ( about 70 % ) for decades . There are also privately owned for - profit hospitals as well as government hospitals in some locations , mainly owned by county and city governments . The Hill - Burton Act was passed in 1946 , which provided federal funding for hospitals in exchange for treating poor patients .
