It (2017 film)
On July 19 , 2017 , in an interview with Variety 's Brent Lang , director Muschietti commented of the monstrous forms that It will be taking , as well as noting the fact that they are very different from the incarnations present in King 's story , `` The story is the same , but there are changes in the things the kids are scared of . In the book they 're children in the ' 50s , so the incarnations of the monsters are mainly from movies , so it 's Wolf Man , the Mummy , Frankenstein , ( and ) Dracula . I had a different approach . I wanted to bring out deeper fears , based not only on movie monsters but on childhood traumas . '' While on the topic of the key to a successful horror film , Muschietti concluded by remarking that `` Stay true to what scares you . If you do n't respect that , you ca n't scare anyone . '' Muschietti explained how Skarsgård caught his attention to embody Pennywise , while pointing out that he did not want the young cast to spend too much time with the actor when not shooting , and encouraged them to `` maintain distance '' , wherein Muschietti detailed : `` We wanted to carry the impact of the encounters to when the cameras were rolling . The first scene where Bill interacted with the children , it was fun to see how the plan worked . The kids were really , really creeped out by Bill . He 's pretty intimidating because he 's six - four and has all this makeup . ''
Diamond
Diamonds can be identified by their high thermal conductivity . Their high refractive index is also indicative , but other materials have similar refractivity . Diamonds cut glass , but this does not positively identify a diamond because other materials , such as quartz , also lie above glass on the Mohs scale and can also cut it . Diamonds can scratch other diamonds , but this can result in damage to one or both stones . Hardness tests are infrequently used in practical gemology because of their potentially destructive nature . The extreme hardness and high value of diamond means that gems are typically polished slowly , using painstaking traditional techniques and greater attention to detail than is the case with most other gemstones ; these tend to result in extremely flat , highly polished facets with exceptionally sharp facet edges . Diamonds also possess an extremely high refractive index and fairly high dispersion . Taken together , these factors affect the overall appearance of a polished diamond and most diamantaires still rely upon skilled use of a loupe ( magnifying glass ) to identify diamonds `` by eye '' .
Brown Sugar (The Rolling Stones song)
To promote the song , they performed on Top of the Pops with the performance taped sometime around late March 1971 , and being shown on 15 April and 6 May . They also performed on the album slot that was part of the show in 1971 , and performed `` Wild Horses '' and `` Bitch '' , which was shown on 22 April 1971 ; due to BBC practices at the time , the performances were wiped and all that remains is `` Brown Sugar '' .
Centipede
Worldwide , an estimated 8,000 species of centipedes are thought to exist , of which 3,000 have been described . Centipedes have a wide geographical range , where they even reach beyond the Arctic Circle . They are found in an array of terrestrial habitats from tropical rainforests to deserts . Within these habitats , centipedes require a moist microhabitat because they lack the waxy cuticle of insects and arachnids , therefore causing them to rapidly lose water . Accordingly , they are found in soil and leaf litter , under stones and dead wood , and inside logs . Centipedes are among the largest terrestrial invertebrate predators , and often contribute significantly to the invertebrate predatory biomass in terrestrial ecosystems . Only one species , Scolopendra cataracta , is known to be amphibious and is believed to hunt aquatic or amphibious invertebrates .
Runaway (Kanye West song)
Another explanation of the ending of the song is a commentary on how West , a rapper , has attempted to rap throughout his career but has been unable to do so because of the media . The media has drowned out his words with noise , like the ending of the song where what he 's attempting to say is unhearable . Another interpretation was proposed by Chicago Sun - Times writer Thomas Conner , who wrote `` the last four minutes find him humming and singing , but his voice is Auto - Tuned and distorted beyond perceptibility . What 's he saying or singing ? Ca n't really make it out , ca n't really understand him . Which , no doubt , is how he feels his clumsy public statements are often received . ''
Lynette Scavo
Katherine Mayfair comes back to Wisteria Lane , offering Lynette a job at her new food company . Lynette does n't want it as she and Tom are together again but wants to prove herself . At first taken aback , Tom lets Lynette know he 'll support her no matter what . It 's revealed in the final moments that the two move to New York , Lynette becoming a successful businesswoman and eventually watching over six grandchildren .
Guns N' Roses
Guns N ' Roses ' late 1980s and early 1990s years have been described as the period in which the group brought forth a `` hedonistic rebelliousness '' reminiscent of the early Rolling Stones , a reputation that had earned the group the nickname `` the most dangerous band in the world '' . The band 's classic lineup , along with later members keyboardist Dizzy Reed and drummer Matt Sorum , was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 2012 , its first year of eligibility .
Pantheon, Rome
The stresses in the dome were found to be substantially reduced by the use of successively less dense aggregate stones , such as small pots or pieces of pumice , in higher layers of the dome . Mark and Hutchison estimated that , if normal weight concrete had been used throughout , the stresses in the arch would have been some 80 % greater . Hidden chambers engineered within the rotunda form a sophisticated structural system . This reduced the weight of the roof , as did the elimination of the apex by means of the oculus .

The Deer Hunter
As the Oscars drew near , the backlash against The Deer Hunter gathered strength . When the limos pulled up to the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion on April 9 , 1979 , they were met by demonstrators , mostly from the Los Angeles chapter of Vietnam Veterans Against the War . The demonstrators waved placards covered with slogans that read `` No Oscars for racism '' and `` The Deer Hunter a bloody lie '' and thrust pamphlets berating Deer Hunter into long lines of limousine windows . Washburn , nominated for Best Original Screenplay , claims his limousine was pelted with stones . According to Variety , `` Police and The Deer Hunter protesters clashed in a brief but bloody battle that resulted in 13 arrests . ''
Types of volcanic eruptions
Deposits near the source vent consist of large volcanic blocks and bombs , with so - called `` bread - crust bombs '' being especially common . These deeply cracked volcanic chunks form when the exterior of ejected lava cools quickly into a glassy or fine - grained shell , but the inside continues to cool and vesiculate . The center of the fragment expands , cracking the exterior . However the bulk of Vulcanian deposits are fine grained ash . The ash is only moderately dispersed , and its abundance indicates a high degree of fragmentation , the result of high gas contents within the magma . In some cases these have been found to be the result of interaction with meteoric water , suggesting that Vulcanian eruptions are partially hydrovolcanic .
Liz Parker
Feeling that Liz is a threat to his plans , the real Nasedo shapeshifts into Max and takes her . When she kisses him , she realizes he is not Max because she has visions of his past . Max , worried about Liz and what Nasedo might do , goes after them . Maria and Alex tell Sheriff Valenti that they are worried because Liz is with Max and she called claiming that she was scared because Max was acting weird . This was done in order to try to find Liz faster . They are found in a theme park . In the house of mirrors , Max is grabbed by the FBI and Nasedo grabs Liz . She kisses him and again realizes that he is Nasedo when she gets images from his past . She is deeply heartbroken when Max is abducted by the FBI and has to tell the news to Michael and Isabel . With the help of Nasedo , the gang saves Max from the FBI .
Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire
In any event , the population of the city rose en masse after the Spanish attack . Fierce fighting ensued , and the Aztec troops besieged the palace housing the Spaniards and Moctezuma . The nobility of Tenochtitlan chose Cuitláhuac as Huey Tlatoani ( Emperor ) . Cortés ordered Moctezuma to speak to his people from a palace balcony and persuade them to let the Spanish return to the coast in peace . Moctezuma was jeered and stones were thrown at him , mortally wounding Moctezuma . Aztec sources state the Spaniards killed him .
Climate of Ecuador
The weather in Quito is consistent with that of a subtropical highland climate . The city has barely any cool air since it is close to the equator . The average temperature during the day is 70 ° F ( 21 ° C ) , which generally falls to an average of 50 ° F ( 10 ° C ) at night . The average temperature annually is 64 ° F ( 17.8 ° C ) . There are only really two seasons in the city : dry and wet . The dry season ( winter ) runs from June to September and the wet season ( summer ) is from October to May . As most of Ecuador is in the southern hemisphere , June to September is considered to be winter , and winter is generally the dry season in warm climates . Spring , summer , and fall are generally the `` wet seasons '' while winter is the dry ( with the exception of the first month of fall being dry ) .
Lighthouse of Alexandria
The Lighthouse of Alexandria , sometimes called the Pharos of Alexandria ( / ˈfɛərɒs / ; Ancient Greek : ὁ Φάρος τῆς Ἀλεξανδρείας , contemporary Koine Greek pronunciation : ( ho phá. ros teːs a. lek. sandréːaːs ) ) , was a lighthouse built by the Ptolemaic Kingdom , during the reign Ptolemy II Philadelphus ( 280 -- 247 BC ) which has been estimated to be 100 metres ( 330 ft ) in overall height . One of the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World , for many centuries it was one of the tallest man - made structures in the world . Badly damaged by three earthquakes between AD 956 and 1323 , it then became an abandoned ruin . It was the third longest surviving ancient wonder ( after the Mausoleum at Halicarnassus and the extant Great Pyramid of Giza ) , surviving in part until 1480 , when the last of its remnant stones were used to build the Citadel of Qaitbay on the site . In 1994 , French archaeologists discovered some remains of the lighthouse on the floor of Alexandria 's Eastern Harbour . In 2016 the Ministry of State of Antiquities in Egypt had plans to turn submerged ruins of ancient Alexandria , including those of the Pharos , into an underwater museum .
Cool jazz
The term cool started being applied to this music around 1953 , when Capitol Records released the album Classics in Jazz : Cool and Quiet . Mark C. Gridley , writing in the All Music Guide to Jazz , identifies four overlapping sub-categories of cool jazz :
Snuff (song)
`` This is the slow one . It 's another personal one . Again , not naming names , it 's about someone who helped me through a lot and I thought she felt the same way that I did and then she really let me down . At the same time , it was good that she did , because it was that final push to me figuring out myself . The lyrics are pretty self - explanatory . '' -- Corey Taylor
Flag of Guam
The flag of the United States territory of Guam was adopted on February 9 , 1948 . The territorial flag is dark blue with a narrow red border on all sides ( border was a later addition ) . Narrow red border represents the blood that it ravaged in World War 2 and Spanish sovereignty . In the center of the flag is the coat of arms ; an almond shaped emblem , which depicts a proa sailing in Agana Bay near Hagåtña , and GUAM colored in red letters . The shape of the emblem recalls the slingshot stones used by the islanders ' ancestors . The landform at the back depicts the Punta Dos Amantes cliff on Guam . Charles Alan Pownall approved the flag 's shape in 1948 .
LL Cool J
In March 2011 at South by Southwest , LL Cool J was revealed to be Z - Trip 's special guest at the Red Bull Thre3Style showcase . This marked the beginning of a creative collaboration between the rap and DJ superstars . The two took part in an interview with Carson Daly where they discussed their partnership . Both artists have promised future collaborations down the road , with LL Cool J calling the duo `` organic '' One early track to feature LL 's talents was Z - Trip 's remix of British rock act Kasabian 's single `` Days Are Forgotten '' , which was named by influential DJ Zane Lowe as his `` Hottest Record In The World '' and received a favorable reception in both Belgium and the United Kingdom . In January 2012 , the pair released the track `` Super Baller '' as a free download to celebrate the New York Giants Super Bowl victory . The two have been touring together since 2011 , with future dates planned through 2012 and beyond .

Diamond
The identification of stolen diamonds presents a set of difficult problems . Rough diamonds will have a distinctive shape depending on whether their source is a mine or from an alluvial environment such as a beach or river - alluvial diamonds have smoother surfaces than those that have been mined . Determining the provenance of cut and polished stones is much more complex .
Columbian Exchange
( W ) hat had happened was that the Indians , as soon as they saw that the forces were divided , began to attack and kill . So this witness fell back immediately with his soldiers to rejoin the maese de campo , followed by the Indians who had hitherto accompanied this witness . They paused the Spaniards in large groups , and began to hurl countless stones , arrows , and clubs , not only from the ground but from the terraces , both men and women participating in the attack .
Helena (A Midsummer Night's Dream)
Separated by Oberon and Puck and with dawn approaching , the lovers each decide to sleep again . Oberon commands Puck to reverse the enchantment placed on Lysander , and when the lovers are discovered in the morning by Theseus , Duke of Athens , all is put to rights . Demetrius claims that a metaphorical ' sickness ' made him love Hermia , but in health , his love has returned to Helena . The four lovers are married in a joint ceremony with Theseus and Hippolyta and together mock the show put on by the Mechanicals in the play 's final act .
Maple syrup
The Algonquians recognized maple sap as a source of energy and nutrition . At the beginning of the spring thaw , they used stone tools to make V - shaped incisions in tree trunks ; they then inserted reeds or concave pieces of bark to run the sap into buckets , which were often made from birch bark . The maple sap was concentrated either by dropping hot cooking stones into the buckets or by leaving them exposed to the cold temperatures overnight and disposing of the layer of ice that formed on top .
LL Cool J
LL Cool J started his own businesses in the music industry such as the music label in 1993 called P.O.G. ( Power Of God ) and formed the company Rock The Bells to produce music . With the Rock The Bells label , he had artists such as Amyth , Smokeman , Natice , Chantel Jones and Simone Starks . Rock the Bells Records was also responsible for the Deep Blue Sea soundtrack for the 1999 movie of the same name . Rufus `` Scola '' Waller was also signed to the label , but was released when the label folded . LL Cool J founded and launched Boomdizzle.com , a record label / social networking site launched in September 2008 . The website accepts music uploads from aspiring artists , primarily from the hip - hop genre , and the site 's users rate songs through contests , voting , and other community events .
Apollo
The dimensions of the plan are 10 , 70 x 24 , 00 m and the building was not peripteral . It contains column - bases of the Minoan type , which may be considered as the predecessors of the Doric columns . Gortyn ( Crete ) . A temple of Pythian Apollo , was built in the 7th century B.C. The plan measured 19 , 00 x 16 , 70 m and it was not peripteral . The walls were solid , made from limestone , and there was single door on the east side . Thermon ( West Greece ) : The Doric temple of Apollo Thermios , was built in the middle of the 7th century B.C. It was built on an older curvilinear building dating perhaps from the 10th century B.C. , on which a peristyle was added . The temple was narrow , and the number of pteron columns ( probably wooden ) was 5 x 15 . There was a single row of inner columns . It measures 12.13 x 38.23 m at the stylobate , which was made from stones . Floor
Whitney Houston
Jon Caramanica of The New York Times commented , `` Her voice was clean and strong , with barely any grit , well suited to the songs of love and aspiration . ( ... ) Hers was a voice of triumph and achievement , and it made for any number of stunning , time - stopping vocal performances . '' Mariah Carey stated , `` She ( Whitney ) has a really rich , strong mid-belt that very few people have . She sounds really good , really strong . '' While in her review of I Look to You , music critic Ann Powers of the Los Angeles Times writes , `` ( Houston 's voice ) stands like monuments upon the landscape of 20th century pop , defining the architecture of their times , sheltering the dreams of millions and inspiring the climbing careers of countless imitators '' , adding `` When she was at her best , nothing could match her huge , clean , cool mezzo - soprano . ''
LL Cool J
While the previous album Bigger and Deffer , which was a big success , was produced by The L.A. Posse ( at the time consisting of Dwayne Simon , Darryl Pierce and , according to himself the most important for crafting the sound of the LP , Bobby `` Bobcat '' Ervin ) , Dwayne Simon was the only one left willing to work on producing Walking with a Panther . Bobcat said he wanted more money for the album after realizing how much of a success the previous album really had become but Def Jam refused to change the contract which made him leave Cool J. According to Bobcat this is the reason that Walking with a Panther was met with very mixed reception at the time of its release .
Transduction (physiology)
When the ear drum receives the changes in air pressure , it responds through vibrations that moves three tiny bones . These bones are the malleus , incus , and stapes . These three tiny bones together make up the ossicles and in latin , their names mean hammer , anvil , and stirrup because of their shapes . They work together to convert the vibrations from the ear drum into pressure waves that are amplified . These amplified waves are then sent to the fluid of the cochlea , which is in the inner ear . The waves have to be amplified because the fluid in the cochlea reduces sound .
Ramayana
Also known as Lanka Kanda , this book describes the Ramayana War between the army of Rama and the army of Ravana . Having received Hanuman 's report on Sita , Rama and Lakshmana proceed with their allies towards the shore of the southern sea . There they are joined by Ravana 's renegade brother Vibhishana . The apes named Nala and Nila construct a floating bridge ( known as Rama Setu ) across the sea , using stones that floated on water because they had Rama 's name written on them . The princes and their army cross over to Lanka . A lengthy war ensues . During a battle , Ravana 's son Indrajit hurls a powerful weapon at Lakshmana , who is badly wounded and is nearly killed . So Hanuman assumes a gigantic form and flies from Lanka to the Himalayas . Upon reaching Mount Sumeru , Hanuman was unable to identify the herb that could cure Lakshmana and so decided to bring the entire mountain back to Lanka . Eventually , the war ends when Rama kills Ravana . Rama then installs Vibhishana on the throne of Lanka .
List of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles characters
In the 1987 cartoon , Splinter ( voiced by Peter Reneday ) is Hamato Yoshi , mutated into a mutant brown rat alongside the Turtles , who he rescued from accidentally getting dropped down a storm drain after moving to New York .
Common source
In electronics , a common - source amplifier is one of three basic single - stage field - effect transistor ( FET ) amplifier topologies , typically used as a voltage or transconductance amplifier . The easiest way to tell if a FET is common source , common drain , or common gate is to examine where the signal enters and leaves . The remaining terminal is what is known as `` common '' . In this example , the signal enters the gate , and exits the drain . The only terminal remaining is the source . This is a common - source FET circuit . The analogous bipolar junction transistor circuit may be viewed as a transconductance amplifier or as a voltage amplifier . ( See classification of amplifiers ) . As a transconductance amplifier , the input voltage is seen as modulating the current going to the load . As a voltage amplifier , input voltage modulates the amount of current flowing through the FET , changing the voltage across the output resistance according to Ohm 's law . However , the FET device 's output resistance typically is not high enough for a reasonable transconductance amplifier ( ideally infinite ) , nor low enough for a decent voltage amplifier ( ideally zero ) . Another major drawback is the amplifier 's limited high - frequency response . Therefore , in practice the output often is routed through either a voltage follower ( common - drain or CD stage ) , or a current follower ( common-gate or CG stage ) , to obtain more favorable output and frequency characteristics . The CS -- CG combination is called a cascode amplifier .
