The terrestrial biosphere includes the organic carbon in all land - living organisms , both alive and dead , as well as carbon stored in soils . About 500 gigatons of carbon are stored above ground in plants and other living organisms , while soil holds approximately 1,500 gigatons of carbon . Most carbon in the terrestrial biosphere is organic carbon , while about a third of soil carbon is stored in inorganic forms , such as calcium carbonate . Organic carbon is a major component of all organisms living on earth . Autotrophs extract it from the air in the form of carbon dioxide , converting it into organic carbon , while heterotrophs receive carbon by consuming other organisms .

Men generally wear the rings on the right hand and the women on the left hands . If a wedding ring is worn , the ring is worn on the left ring finger mostly for men .

Blond hair can have almost any proportion of pheomelanin and eumelanin , but has only small amounts of both . More pheomelanin creates a more golden or strawberry blond color , and more eumelanin creates an ash or sandy blond color . Many children born with blond hair develop darker hair as they age , with the majority of natural blonds developing a hair color of a dark blond hue by the time they reach middle age . Pregnancy hormones hasten this process . Natural light blond hair is rare in adulthood , with claims of the world 's population ranging from 2 % naturally blond to 16 % in the US . Blond hair is most commonly found in Northern and Western Europeans and their descendants but can be found spread around most of Europe . Studies in 2012 showed that naturally blond hair of Melanesians is caused by a recessive mutation in tyrosinase - related protein 1 ( TYRP1 ) . In the Solomon Islands , 26 % of the population carry the gene ; however , it is absent outside of Oceania .

Principal photography began on October 6 , 1975 in Lake Powell . A rift between Eastwood and Kaufman developed during the filming . Kaufman insisted on filming with a meticulous attention to detail , which caused disagreements with Eastwood , not to mention the attraction the two shared towards Locke and apparent jealousy on Kaufman 's part in regards to their emerging relationship . One evening , Kaufman insisted on finding a beer can as a prop to be used in a scene , but while he was absent , Eastwood ordered Surtees to quickly shoot the scene as light was fading and then drove away , leaving before Kaufman had returned . Soon after , filming moved to Kanab , Utah . On October 24 , 1975 , Kaufman was fired at Eastwood 's command by producer Bob Daley . The sacking caused an outrage amongst the Directors Guild of America and other important Hollywood executives , since the director had already worked hard on the film , including completing all of the pre-production . Pressure mounted on Warner Bros. and Eastwood to back down , but their refusal to do so resulted in a fine , reported to be around $60,000 for the violation . This resulted in the Director 's Guild passing new legislation , known as ' the Eastwood Rule ' , which prohibits an actor or producer from firing the director and then becoming the director himself . From then on , the film was directed by Eastwood himself with Daley second - in - command , but with Kaufman 's planning already in place , the team were able to finish making the film efficiently .

Currently , environmental groups and some governments are concerned with the extinction of species caused by humanity , and they try to prevent further extinctions through a variety of conservation programs . Humans can cause extinction of a species through overharvesting , pollution , habitat destruction , introduction of invasive species ( such as new predators and food competitors ) , overhunting , and other influences . Explosive , unsustainable human population growth is an essential cause of the extinction crisis . According to the International Union for Conservation of Nature ( IUCN ) , 784 extinctions have been recorded since the year 1500 , the arbitrary date selected to define `` recent '' extinctions , up to the year 2004 ; with many more likely to have gone unnoticed . Several species have also been listed as extinct since 2004 .

In the United Kingdom , draught beer must be sold in Imperial measure ( see Pint § Effects of metrication ) . United Kingdom law requires certain steps be taken to ensure that a pint of beer is indeed a pint . Though this can be achieved using `` metered dispense '' ( calibrated pumps ) , the more common solution is to use certified one - pint glasses . Until recently these had a crown stamp indicating that the certification had been done by an agency of the Crown . The number etched upon the glasses stands for the manufacturing company or site . Most pint glasses used in the United Kingdom today have actually been produced in France .

Hydrogen bonds can occur between molecules ( intermolecular ) or within different parts of a single molecule ( intramolecular ) . Depending on the nature of the donor and acceptor atoms which constitute the bond , their geometry , and environment , the energy of a hydrogen bond can vary between 1 and 40 kcal / mol . This makes them somewhat stronger than a van der Waals interaction , and weaker than covalent or ionic bonds . This type of bond can occur in inorganic molecules such as water and in organic molecules like DNA and proteins .

Lawrence County State 's Attorney John Fitzgerald , Chief Deputy Attorney General Charlie McGuigan , and attorney and 2014 U.S. Senate candidate Jason Ravnsborg are running for the Republican nomination .


The Roman Catholic holy day of All Saints ( or All Hallows ) was introduced in the year 609 , but was originally celebrated on 13 May . In 835 , Louis the Pious switched it to 1 November in the Carolingian Empire , at the behest of Pope Gregory IV . However , from the testimony of Pseudo-Bede , it is known that churches in what are now England and Germany were already celebrating All Saints on 1 November at the beginning of the 8th century . Thus , Louis merely made official the custom of celebrating it on 1 November . James Frazer suggests that 1 November was chosen because it was the date of the Celtic festival of the dead ( Samhain ) -- the Celts had influenced their English neighbours , and English missionaries had influenced the Germans . However , Ronald Hutton points out that , according to Óengus of Tallaght ( d . ca . 824 ) , the 7th / 8th century church in Ireland celebrated All Saints on 20 April . He suggests that the 1 November date was a Germanic rather than a Celtic idea . In the 11th century , 2 November became established as All Souls ' Day . This created the three - day observance known as Allhallowtide : All Hallows ' Eve ( 31 October ) , All Hallows ' Day ( 1 November ) , and All Souls ' Day ( 2 November ) .


Gary Player holds the record for most appearances , with 52 . Player also holds the record for the number of consecutive cuts made , with 23 between 1959 and 1982 ( Player did not compete in 1973 as he was recovering from recent surgery ) . He shares this record with Fred Couples , who made his consecutive cuts between 1983 and 2007 , not competing in 1987 and 1994 .


Eleanore Cammack `` Cammie '' King ( August 5 , 1934 -- September 1 , 2010 ) was an American child actress . She is best known for her portrayal of `` Bonnie Blue Butler '' in Gone with the Wind ( 1939 ) . She also provided the voice for the doe `` Faline '' as a fawn in the animated Disney film , Bambi ( 1942 ) .


Fleet vehicles are groups of motor vehicles owned or leased by a business , government agency or other organization rather than by an individual or family . Typical examples are vehicles operated by car rental companies , taxicab companies , public utilities , public bus companies , and police departments . In addition , many businesses purchase or lease fleet vehicles to deliver goods to customers , or for sales representatives to travel to clients . In some jurisdictions and countries , fleet vehicle also means vehicles that are privately owned by employees , or on novated leases , but are used for work purposes ; this is called the ' grey fleet ' .


`` We Are the World '' is sung from a first person viewpoint , allowing the audience to `` internalize '' the message by singing the word we together . It has been described as `` an appeal to human compassion '' . The first lines in the song 's repetitive chorus proclaim , `` We are the world , we are the children , we are the ones who make a brighter day , so let 's start giving '' . `` We Are the World '' opens with Lionel Richie , Stevie Wonder , Paul Simon , Kenny Rogers , James Ingram , Tina Turner , and Billy Joel singing the first verse . Michael Jackson and Diana Ross follow , completing the first chorus together . Dionne Warwick , Willie Nelson , and Al Jarreau sing the second verse , before Bruce Springsteen , Kenny Loggins , Steve Perry , and Daryl Hall go through the second chorus . Co-writer Jackson , Huey Lewis , Cyndi Lauper , and Kim Carnes follow with the song 's bridge . This structuring of the song is said to `` create a sense of continuous surprise and emotional buildup '' . `` We Are the World '' concludes with Bob Dylan and Ray Charles singing a full chorus , Wonder and Springsteen duetting , and ad libs from Charles and Ingram .


The Grinch is a bitter , grouchy , cave - dwelling creature with a heart `` two sizes too small '' who is living as a hermit on the snowy Mount Crumpit , a steep high mountain just north of the town of Whoville , home of the merry and warm - hearted Whos . His only companion is his unloved , but loyal dog , Max . From his cave , the Grinch can hear the noisy Christmas festivities that take place in Whoville . Continuously annoyed , he decides to devise a wicked scheme by stealing their presents , trees , and food for their Christmas feast . He crudely disguises himself as Santa Claus , and forces Max , disguised as a reindeer , to drag a sleigh down the mountain towards Whoville . Once at Whoville , the Grinch slides down the chimney of one house and steals all of the Whos ' Christmas presents , the Christmas tree , and the log for their fire . He is briefly interrupted in his burglary by Cindy Lou , a little Who girl , but concocts a crafty lie to effect his escape from her home . After stealing from one house , he does the same thing to all the other houses in the village of Whoville .


This species is capable of delivering a fatal bite and the victim may receive a large quantity of venom with a dose of 200 to 500 mg up to 7 ml . Engelmann and Obst ( 1981 ) list the average venom yield at 420 mg ( dry weight ) . Accordingly , large quantities of antivenom may be needed to reverse the progression of symptoms developed if bitten by a king cobra . The toxins affect the victim 's central nervous system , resulting in severe pain , blurred vision , vertigo , drowsiness , and eventually paralysis . If the envenomation is serious , it progresses to cardiovascular collapse , and the victim falls into a coma . Death soon follows due to respiratory failure . Bites from a king cobra may result in a rapid fatality which can be as early as 30 minutes after the envenomation . The king cobra 's envenomation was even recorded to be capable of killing elephants within hours .


Since the creation of the Football League in 1888 , the final has never been contested by two teams from outside the top division , and there have only been eight winners who were not in the top flight : Notts County ( 1894 ) ; Tottenham Hotspur ( 1901 ) ; Wolverhampton Wanderers ( 1908 ) ; Barnsley ( 1912 ) ; West Bromwich Albion ( 1931 ) ; Sunderland ( 1973 ) , Southampton ( 1976 ) and West Ham United ( 1980 ) . With the exception of Tottenham , these clubs were all playing in the second tier ( the old Second Division ) -- Tottenham were playing in the Southern League and were only elected to the Football League in 1908 , meaning they are the only non-League winners of the FA Cup since the League 's creation . Other than Tottenham 's victory , only 24 finalists have come from outside English football 's top tier , with a record of 7 wins and 17 runners - up : and none at all from the third tier or lower , Southampton ( 1902 , then in the Southern League ) being the last finalist from outside the top two tiers .


Prohibition also had an effect on the music industry in the United States , specifically with jazz . Speakeasies became very popular , and the Great Depression 's migratory effects led to the dispersal of jazz music , from New Orleans going north through Chicago and to New York . This led to the development of different styles in different cities . Due to its popularity in speakeasies and the emergence of advanced recording technology , jazz 's popularity skyrocketed . It was also at the forefront of the minimal integration efforts going on at the time , as it united mostly black musicians with mostly white audiences .


The Edinburgh Festival Fringe ( often referred to as simply The Fringe ) is the world 's largest arts festival , which in 2017 spanned 25 days and featured 53,232 performances of 3,398 shows in 300 venues . Established in 1947 as an alternative to the Edinburgh International Festival , it takes place annually in Edinburgh , Scotland , in the month of August .


The California Gold Rush ( 1848 -- 1855 ) began on January 24 , 1848 , when gold was found by James W. Marshall at Sutter 's Mill in Coloma , California . The news of gold brought some 300,000 people to California from the rest of the United States and abroad . The sudden influx of immigration and gold into the money supply reinvigorated the American economy , and California became one of the few American states to go directly to statehood without first being a territory , in the Compromise of 1850 . The Gold Rush had severe effects on Native Californians and resulted in a precipitous population decline from disease , genocide and starvation . By the time it ended , California had gone from a thinly populated ex-Mexican territory to the home state of the first nominee for the Republican Party .

The phrase baby boom refers to a noticeable increase in the birth rate . The post-war population increase was described as a `` boom '' by various newspaper reporters , including Sylvia F. Porter in a column for the May 4 , 1951 , edition of the New York Post , based on the increase in the population of the U.S. of 2,357,000 in 1950 . According to the Oxford English Dictionary , the first recorded use of `` baby boomer '' is from 1970 in an article in The Washington Post . Various authors have delimited the baby boom period differently . Landon Jones , in his book Great Expectations : America and the Baby Boom Generation ( 1980 ) , defined the span of the baby - boom generation as extending from 1943 through 1960 , when annual births increased over 4,000,000 . Authors William Strauss and Neil Howe , well known for their generational theory , define the social generation of Boomers as that cohort born from 1943 to 1960 , who were too young to have any personal memory of World War II , but old enough to remember the postwar American High .

`` One Thing Leads to Another '' is a song by new wave rock band The Fixx , from their album Reach the Beach .


The recorded history of Maryland dates back to when Europeans began exploring the area , starting with the Italian / Venetian John Cabot ( c. 1450 -- c. 1500 ) , exploring the coast of the continent of North America for England in 1498 . The first European settlements were made in 1634 , when the English arrived in significant numbers and created a permanent colony . Maryland was notable for having been established with religious freedom for Roman Catholics . Like other colonies of the Chesapeake Bay , its economy was based on tobacco as a commodity crop , cultivated primarily by African slave labor , although many young people came from Britain as indentured servants in the early years .

`` Roar '' is a song by American singer Katy Perry for her fourth studio album , Prism ( 2013 ) . It was released as the lead single from the record on August 10 , 2013 . Perry co-wrote the song with Bonnie McKee and its producers Dr. Luke , Max Martin , and Cirkut . It is a pop song containing elements of arena rock and lyrics centering on standing up for oneself and self - empowerment . Some critics praised the track 's production while others felt that its lyrics contained `` clichés '' .


A rear - view mirror ( or rearview mirror ) is a mirror in automobiles and other vehicles , designed to allow the driver to see rearward through the vehicle 's rear window ( rear windshield ) .


The song was mixed by Serban Ghenea at MixStar Studios . `` Roar '' was recorded in four other studios : Luke 's in the Boo , Playback Recording Studio and Secret Garden Studios , all located in the state of California , as well as MXM Studios in Stockholm , Sweden Perry co-wrote the song with Bonnie McKee and its producers Dr. Luke , Max Martin , and Cirkut . All its development took place in March 2013 . McKee told MTV that `` Roar '' is `` kind of a ' pick yourself up and dust yourself off and keep going ' , female - empowerment song '' and `` kind of an epiphany song . '' Perry said she wrote the song after undergoing therapy , saying she was `` sick of keeping all these feelings inside and not speaking up for myself '' .

The National Football League Draft , also called the Player Selection Meeting , is an annual event in which it serves as the league 's most common source of player recruitment . The basic design of the draft is that each team is given a position in the drafting order in reverse order relative to its record in the previous year , which means that the last place team is positioned first . From this position , the team can either select a player or trade their position to another team for other draft positions , a player or players , or any combination thereof . The round is complete when each team has either selected a player or traded its draft position . Certain aspects of the draft , including team positioning and the number of rounds in the draft , have seen revisions since its first creation in 1936 , but the fundamental methodology has remained the same . Currently the draft consists of seven rounds . The original rationale in creating the draft was to increase the competitive parity between the teams as the worst team would , ideally , have chosen the best player available .


The NFL Scouting Combine is a six - day assessment of skills occurring every year in late February or early March in Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis , Indiana . College football players perform physical and mental tests in front of NFL coaches , general managers , and scouts . With increasing interest in the NFL draft , the scouting combine has grown in scope and significance , allowing personnel directors to evaluate upcoming prospects in a standardized setting . Its origins have evolved from the National , BLESTO , and Quadra Scouting services in 1977 to the media frenzy it has become today . Athletes attend by invitation only . Implications of one 's performance during the Combine can affect perception , draft status , salary , and ultimately his career . The draft has popularized the term `` Workout Warrior '' ( sometimes known as a `` Workout Wonder '' ) , describing an athlete who , based on superior measurables such as size , speed , and strength , has increased his `` draft stock '' despite having a possibly average or subpar college career .

Single - payer healthcare is a healthcare system financed by taxes that covers the costs of essential healthcare for all residents , with costs covered by a single public system ( hence ' single - payer ' ) . Alternatively , a multi-payer system is one in which private individuals or their employers obtain health coverage from multiple private or public sources .


After England were appointed tournament hosts on 28 July 2009 , the proposed stadia for the tournament were revealed . The final venues were confirmed , along with the tournament 's schedule , on 2 May 2013 . Twelve of the stadia were located in England , while the Millennium Stadium located in Wales was also to be used . In 2011 , the IRB approved the use of the Millennium Stadium , despite being outside of the host country , due to its capacity and strategic location . Of the thirteen venues , two were dedicated rugby union grounds ( Kingsholm Stadium and Sandy Park ) , two were national rugby stadia ( Twickenham and the Millennium Stadium ) , two were multi-purpose stadia ( Wembley Stadium and Olympic Stadium ) , and the remainder were association football grounds .


As in Scandinavia , healthcare in the United Kingdom is a devolved matter , meaning England , Northern Ireland , Scotland and Wales each have their own systems of private and publicly funded healthcare , generally referred to as the National Health Service ( NHS ) . With largely private providers , this also fits into the ' Beveridge Model ' of health care systems , sometimes considered to be single - payer , although unlike Scandinavia , there is a more significant role for both private coverage and providers . Each country 's having different policies and priorities has resulted in a variety of differences existing between the systems . That said , each country provides public healthcare to all UK permanent residents that is free at the point of use , being paid for from general taxation .


Typically , no license or advanced training beyond just firearm familiarization ( for rentals ) and range rules familiarization is usually required for using a shooting range in the United States ; the only common requirement is that the shooter must be at least 18 or 21 years old ( or have a legal guardian present ) , and must sign a waiver prior to shooting .


The result was an unexpected landslide victory for Clement Attlee 's Labour Party , over Winston Churchill 's Conservatives . It was the first time the Conservatives had lost the popular vote since the 1906 election ; they would not win it again until 1955 . Labour won its first majority government , and a mandate to implement its postwar reforms . The 12.0 % national swing from the Conservative Party to the Labour Party remains the largest ever achieved in a British general election .

Once the Committee reports out the nomination , the whole Senate considers it . A simple majority vote is required to confirm or to reject a nominee . Prior to 2017 , a successful filibuster threat could add the requirement of a supermajority of 60 needed in favor of cloture , which would allow debate to end and force a final vote on confirmation . Rejections are relatively uncommon ; the Senate has explicitly rejected twelve Supreme Court nominees in its history . The most recent rejection of a nominee by vote of the full Senate came in 1987 , when the Senate refused to confirm Robert Bork .

Deposition is a thermodynamic process , a phase transition in which gas transforms into solid without passing through the liquid phase . The reverse of deposition is sublimation and hence sometimes deposition is called desublimation .


Through the work of Max Planck , Albert Einstein , Louis de Broglie , Arthur Compton , Niels Bohr and many others , current scientific theory holds that all particles also have a wave nature ( and vice versa ) . This phenomenon has been verified not only for elementary particles , but also for compound particles like atoms and even molecules . For macroscopic particles , because of their extremely short wavelengths , wave properties usually can not be detected .


Water is distributed across earth . Most water in the Earth 's atmosphere and crust comes from the world ocean 's saline seawater , while freshwater accounts for only 2.5 % of the total . Because the oceans that cover roughly 78 % of the area of the Earth reflect blue light , the Earth appears blue from space , and is often referred to as the blue planet and the Pale Blue Dot . An estimated 1.5 to 11 times the amount of water in the oceans may be found hundreds of miles deep within the Earth 's interior , although not in liquid form .


The longest word in any of the major English language dictionaries is pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis , a word that refers to a lung disease contracted from the inhalation of very fine silica particles , specifically from a volcano ; medically , it is the same as silicosis . The word was deliberately coined to be the longest word in English , and has since been used in a close approximation of its originally intended meaning , lending at least some degree of validity to its claim .

In chemistry , pH ( / piːˈ ( h ) eɪ tʃ / ) ( potential of hydrogen ) is a numeric scale used to specify the acidity or basicity of an aqueous solution . It is approximately the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the molar concentration , measured in units of moles per liter , of hydrogen ions . More precisely it is the negative of the base 10 logarithm of the activity of the hydrogen ion . Solutions with a pH less than 7 are acidic and solutions with a pH greater than 7 are basic . Pure water is neutral , at pH 7 ( 25 ° C ) , being neither an acid nor a base . Contrary to popular belief , the pH value can be less than 0 or greater than 14 for very strong acids and bases respectively .


Startup neutron source is a neutron source used for stable and reliable initiation of nuclear chain reaction in nuclear reactors , when they are loaded with fresh nuclear fuel , whose neutron flux from spontaneous fission is insufficient for a reliable startup , or after prolonged shutdown periods . Neutron sources ensure a constant minimal population of neutrons in the reactor core , sufficient for a smooth startup . Without them , the reactor could suffer fast power excursions during startup from state with too few self - generated neutrons ( new core or after extended shutdown ) .


Big Star 's original version of the song was not used on the show . Instead , a cover version sung by Todd Griffin was used as the theme song for the show 's first season . Beginning in the second season , the theme song was performed by the band Cheap Trick . Unlike previous versions of the song , Cheap Trick ended the song with the repeated phrase `` We 're all alright ! '' quoting the ending of their 1978 hit song `` Surrender '' .


Bob Pettit and Kobe Bryant are the only two players to win the All - Star Game MVP four times . Oscar Robertson , Michael Jordan , Shaquille O'Neal , and LeBron James have each won the award three times , while Bob Cousy , Julius Erving , Isiah Thomas , Magic Johnson , Karl Malone , Allen Iverson , and Russell Westbrook have all won the award twice . James ' first All - Star MVP in 2006 made him the youngest to have ever won the award at the age of 21 years , 1 month . Kyrie Irving , winner of the 2014 All - Star Game MVP , is the second - youngest at 21 years , 10 months . They are notable as being the two youngest to win the award , both as Cleveland Cavaliers . Four of the games had joint winners -- Elgin Baylor and Pettit in 1959 , John Stockton and Malone in 1993 , O'Neal and Tim Duncan in 2000 , and O'Neal and Bryant in 2009 . O'Neal became the first player in All - Star history to share two MVP awards as well as the first player to win the award with multiple teams . The Los Angeles Lakers have had eleven winners while the Boston Celtics have had eight . Duncan of the U.S. Virgin Islands and Irving of Australia are the only winners not born in the United States . Both Duncan and Irving are American citizens , but are considered `` international '' players by the NBA because they were not born in one of the fifty states or Washington , D.C. No player trained entirely outside the U.S. has won the award ; Irving lived in the U.S. since age two , and Duncan played U.S. college basketball at Wake Forest .

Ancient Egyptian numerals were base 10 . They used hieroglyphs for the digits and were not positional . By 1770 BC , the Egyptians had a symbol for zero in accounting texts . The symbol nfr , meaning beautiful , was also used to indicate the base level in drawings of tombs and pyramids and distances were measured relative to the base line as being above or below this line .


Edible bird 's nests are bird nests created by edible - nest swiftlets using solidified saliva , which are harvested for human consumption . They are particularly prized in Chinese culture due to their rarity , and supposedly high nutritional value and exquisite flavor . Edible bird 's nests are among the most expensive animal products consumed by humans , with nests being sold recently at prices up to about US $ 2,000 per kilogram , depending on grading . The type or grading of bird 's nest depends on the type of bird as well as the diet of the bird . It differs in colour from white to dark brown . The Chinese believe that it promotes good health , especially for the skin . The nests have been used in Chinese cooking for over 400 years , most often as bird 's nest soup .

Alfred P. Aldrich , a South Carolinian politician from Barnwell , stated that declaring secession would be necessary if a Republican candidate were to win the 1860 U.S. presidential election , stating that it was the only way for the state to preserve slavery and diminish the influence of the anti-slavery Republican Party , which , were its goals of abolition realized , would result in the `` destruction of the South '' :


If one used Planck 's energy quanta , and demanded that electromagnetic radiation at a given frequency could only transfer energy to matter in integer multiples of an energy quantum hν , then the photoelectric effect could be explained very simply . Low - frequency light only ejects low - energy electrons because each electron is excited by the absorption of a single photon . Increasing the intensity of the low - frequency light ( increasing the number of photons ) only increases the number of excited electrons , not their energy , because the energy of each photon remains low . Only by increasing the frequency of the light , and thus increasing the energy of the photons , can one eject electrons with higher energy . Thus , using Planck 's constant h to determine the energy of the photons based upon their frequency , the energy of ejected electrons should also increase linearly with frequency ; the gradient of the line being Planck 's constant . These results were not confirmed until 1915 , when Robert Andrews Millikan , who had previously determined the charge of the electron , produced experimental results in perfect accord with Einstein 's predictions . While the energy of ejected electrons reflected Planck 's constant , the existence of photons was not explicitly proven until the discovery of the photon antibunching effect , of which a modern experiment can be performed in undergraduate - level labs . This phenomenon could only be explained via photons , and not through any semi-classical theory ( which could alternatively explain the photoelectric effect ) . When Einstein received his Nobel Prize in 1921 , it was not for his more difficult and mathematically laborious special and general relativity , but for the simple , yet totally revolutionary , suggestion of quantized light . Einstein 's `` light quanta '' would not be called photons until 1925 , but even in 1905 they represented the quintessential example of wave - particle duality . Electromagnetic radiation propagates following linear wave equations , but can only be emitted or absorbed as discrete elements , thus acting as a wave and a particle simultaneously .


The rules governing the use of zero appeared for the first time in Brahmagupta 's Brahmasputha Siddhanta ( 7th century ) . This work considers not only zero , but negative numbers , and the algebraic rules for the elementary operations of arithmetic with such numbers . In some instances , his rules differ from the modern standard , specifically the definition of the value of zero divided by zero as zero .

`` The Birds and the Bees '' was a 1964 single release by Jewel Akens with a lyric based on the `` birds and the bees '' idiom commonly referenced with regard to affording young people their introductory sex education . An international hit in 1965 , `` The Birds and the Bees '' was reminiscent of such 1950s ' honky tonk - style hits as `` Blueberry Hill '' by Fats Domino and `` Kansas City '' by Wilbert Harrison .


Possibilism in cultural geography is the theory that the environment sets certain constraints or limitations , but culture is otherwise determined by social conditions . In Cultural ecology Marshall Sahlins used this concept in order to develop alternative approaches to the environmental determinism dominant at that time in ecological studies . Theory by Strabo in 64 BC that humans can make things happen by their own intelligence over time . Strabo cautioned against the assumption that nature and actions of humans were determined by the physical environment they inhabited . He observed that humans were the active elements in a human - environmental partnership .

Full - time employment is employment in which a person works a minimum number of hours defined as such by his / her employer . Full - time employment often comes with benefits that are not typically offered to part - time , temporary , or flexible workers , such as annual leave , sickleave , and health insurance . Part - time jobs are mistakenly thought by some to not be careers . However , legislation exists to stop employers from discriminating against part - time workers so this should not be a factor when making decisions on career advancement . They generally pay more than part - time jobs per hour , and this is similarly discriminatory if the pay decision is based on part - time status as a primary factor . The Fair Labor Standards Act ( FLSA ) does not define full - time employment or part - time employment . This is a matter generally to be determined by the employer ( US Department of Labor ) . The definition by employer can vary and is generally published in a company 's Employee Handbook . Companies commonly require from 35 to 40 hours per week to be defined as full - time and therefore eligible for benefits .

Before the 1970 merger between the American Football League ( AFL ) and the National Football League ( NFL ) , the two leagues met in four such contests . The first two were known as the `` AFL -- NFL World Championship Game '' . Super Bowl III in January 1969 was the first such game that carried the `` Super Bowl '' moniker , the names `` Super Bowl I '' and `` Super Bowl II '' were only retroactively applied to the first two games . The NFC / NFL leads in Super Bowl wins with 26 , while the AFC / AFL has won 25 . Nineteen different franchises , including teams that relocated to another city , have won the Super Bowl .


The term `` internet '' was adopted in the first RFC published on the TCP protocol ( RFC 675 : Internet Transmission Control Program , December 1974 ) as an abbreviation of the term internetworking and the two terms were used interchangeably . In general , an internet was any network using TCP / IP . It was around the time when ARPANET was interlinked with NSFNET in the late 1980s , that the term was used as the name of the network , Internet , being the large and global TCP / IP network .


The Chernobyl disaster , also referred to as the Chernobyl accident , was a catastrophic nuclear accident . It occurred on 25 -- 26 April 1986 in the No. 4 light water graphite moderated reactor at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant near the now - abandoned town of Pripyat , in northern Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic , Soviet Union , approximately 104 km ( 65 mi ) north of Kiev .


With the role of the network reduced to the bare minimum , it became possible to join almost any networks together , no matter what their characteristics were , thereby solving Kahn 's initial problem . DARPA agreed to fund development of prototype software , and after several years of work , the first demonstration of a gateway between the Packet Radio network in the SF Bay area and the ARPANET was conducted by the Stanford Research Institute . On November 22 , 1977 a three network demonstration was conducted including the ARPANET , the SRI 's Packet Radio Van on the Packet Radio Network and the Atlantic Packet Satellite network .

Fold mountains form when two tectonic plates move towards each other at a convergent plate boundary . Fold mountains form from sedimentary rocks that accumulate along the margins of continents . When plates and the continents riding on them collide , the accumulated layers of rock may crumple and fold like a tablecloth that is pushed across a table , particularly if there is a mechanically weak layer such as salt .


British anti-invasion preparations of 1803 -- 05 were the military and civilian responses in the United Kingdom to Napoleon 's planned invasion of the United Kingdom . They included mobilization of the population on a scale not previously attempted in Britain , with a combined military force of over 615,000 in December 1803 . Much of the southern English coast was fortified to repel a French landing . However Napoleon never attempted his planned invasion and so the preparations were never put to the test .


The trinitarian formula is the phrase `` in the name of the Father , and of the Son , and of the Holy Spirit '' ( original Greek εἰς τὸ ὄνομα τοῦ Πατρὸς καὶ τοῦ Υἱοῦ καὶ τοῦ Ἁγίου Πνεύματος , eis to onoma tou Patros kai tou Huiou kai tou Hagiou Pneumatos , or in Latin in nomine Patris et Filii et Spiritus Sancti ) , or words to that form and effect referring to the three persons of the Christian Trinity . It is often followed by an `` Amen '' .


The chant was first adopted by the university 's science club in 1886 . Chemistry professor E.H.S. Bailey and his colleagues were returning by train to Lawrence after a conference . During their travel , they discussed a need of a rousing yell . They came up with `` Rah , Rah , Jayhawk , Go KU '' , repeated three times , which later became `` Rock Chalk Jayhawk , KU '' .


Zazu ( voiced by Rowan Atkinson in The Lion King , Edward Hibbert in Timon & Pumbaa , The Lion King II : Simba 's Pride , and The Lion King 11⁄2 , and Jeff Bennett in The Lion Guard ) is a red - billed hornbill and majordomo to Mufasa and later Simba . After Mufasa 's death , Zazu becomes a prisoner of Scar before Pumbaa breaks the bone cage releasing him when Simba returns to the Pride Lands . He eventually acts as a scout and advises Simba on royal protocol . In the musical , Zazu is a puppet controlled by an actor dressed in blue striped clothes and a bowler hat , much like a stereotypical butler . Zazu 's blue feathers have been replaced with white and the puppet is partially constructed from parachute silk with a slinky contained in the neck for ease in movement .

The video begins with a car ( 1972 Plymouth Barracuda ) pulling into a creepy alleyway with Corey Taylor being pulled out of the trunk by his bandmates . He is then lead upstairs to be strapped into a chair and interrogated by a woman ( Joanna Moskawa ) who seems to have an aggression towards him . As this is happening , ghostly images of the band perform in front of each member , the video also features these images solo inside an abandoned warehouse including Taylor . Taylor is then blindfolded and then a weird screen is brought out . Corey then walks into the room from the shadows , with a shaved head , wearing a suit and sunglasses . He takes the sunglasses off and then the blindfold is removed , revealing the woman from before . At the end of the solo and the final `` everything to '' shaved Corey presses the button and the other Corey is then seen singing on the screen . The lady panics from this sight and the rest of the band have smiles on their faces . At the end of the video the band leaves the lady tied . Right before it fades to black , the screen says `` What did you see ? '' This was part of a contest that the band held to see the concept of the video , which had a code which read `` I am you '' which explains the fact Corey was replaced with the woman .

John Barry , arranger of Monty Norman 's `` James Bond Theme '' for Dr. No , would be the dominant Bond series composer for most of its history and the inspiration for fellow series composer , David Arnold ( who uses cues from this soundtrack in his own for Tomorrow Never Dies ) . The theme song was composed by Lionel Bart of Oliver ! fame and sung by Matt Monro .


The title song was sung by Matt Monro . Monro 's vocal version is played during the film ( as source music on a radio ) and properly over the film 's end titles . The title credit music is a lively instrumental version of the tune preceded by a brief Barry - composed `` James Bond is Back '' then segueing into the `` James Bond Theme '' . On the original film soundtrack , Alan Haven played a jazzy organ over the theme but this version was not released on the soundtrack album . The tune also appears in a soft string arrangement as a theme for Tania . In Germany , the original release featured an end title track cover version called Die Wolga ist Weit sung by Ruthe Berlé .


Robert Koch is known for developing four basic criteria ( known as Koch 's postulates ) for demonstrating , in a scientifically sound manner , that a disease is caused by a particular organism .

The Italian Agostino Bassi was the first person to prove that a disease was caused by a microorganism when he conducted a series of experiments between 1808 and 1813 , demonstrating that a `` vegetable parasite '' caused a disease in silkworms known as calcinaccio -- this disease was devastating the French silk industry at the time . The `` vegetable parasite '' is now known to be a fungus pathogenic to insects called Beauveria bassiana ( named after Bassi ) .

Sunflowers ( original title , in French : Tournesols ) is the name of two series of still life paintings by the Dutch painter Vincent van Gogh . The first series , executed in Paris in 1887 , depicts the flowers lying on the ground , while the second set , executed a year later in Arles , shows a bouquet of sunflowers in a vase . In the artist 's mind both sets were linked by the name of his friend Paul Gauguin , who acquired two of the Paris versions . About eight months later van Gogh hoped to welcome and to impress Gauguin again with Sunflowers , now part of the painted Décoration for the Yellow House that he prepared for the guestroom of his home in Arles , where Gauguin was supposed to stay . After Gauguin 's departure , van Gogh imagined the two major versions as wings of the Berceuse Triptych , and finally he included them in his Les XX in Bruxelles exhibit .
