Demographics of Mexico
Since the Mestizo identity promoted by the government is more of a cultural identity than a biological one it has achieved a strong influence in the country , with a good number of biologically white people identifying with it , leading to being considered Mestizos in Mexico 's demographic investigations and censuses due the ethnic criteria having its base on cultural traits rather than biological ones . A similar situation occurs regarding the distinctions between Indigenous peoples and Mestizos : while the term Mestizo is sometimes used in English with the meaning of a person with mixed indigenous and European blood , In Mexican society a non-indigenous person can be considered mestizo. and a person with none or a very low percentage of indigenous genetic heritage would be considered fully indigenous either by speaking an indigenous language or by identifying with a particular indigenous cultural heritage . In the Yucatán peninsula the word Mestizo has a different meaning , with it being to refer to the Maya - speaking populations living in traditional communities , because during the caste war of the late 19th century those Maya who did not join the rebellion were classified as Mestizos . In Chiapas the word `` Ladino '' is used instead of mestizo .

Shotgun
Shotguns are common weapons in military use , particularly for special purposes . Shotguns are found aboard naval vessels for shipboard security , because the weapon is very effective at close range as a way of repelling enemy boarding parties . In a naval setting , stainless steel shotguns are often used , because regular steel is more prone to corrosion in the marine environment . Shotguns are also used by military police units . U.S. Marines have used shotguns since their inception at the squad level , often in the hands of NCOs , while the U.S. Army often issued them to a squad 's point man . Shotguns were modified for and used in the trench warfare of WWI , in the jungle combat of WWII and the Vietnam . Shotguns were also used in the Iraq , being popular with soldiers in urban combat environments . Some U.S. units in Iraq used shotguns with special frangible breaching rounds to blow the locks off doors when making a surprise entry into a dwelling .
Jack the Giant Slayer
In April 2010 , Singer re-teamed with screenwriter Christopher McQuarrie to rework the screenplay . Singer and McQuarrie had previously collaborated on Public Access , The Usual Suspects , Apt Pupil , and Valkyrie . Singer stated , `` Chris McQuarrie did a significant re-write for me . He brought a different structure . It was very much a page - one situation ; a different storyline . It involved the same characters , but some we juggled around and switched around . He just brought a very different perspective '' . McQuarrie 's re-write included a deeper back story for the giants and explanation of their relationship with the humans , which Singer considered a `` vast improvement '' ; it also upped the budget . To get the budget back in line , Singer brought in television writer Dan Studney to work on the project .
Culture of El Salvador
The Lenca people are an indigenous people of eastern El Salvador where population today is estimated at about 37,000 . The Lenca was a matriarchal society and was one of the first civilizations to develop in El Salvador and were the first major civilization in the country . The pre-Conquest Salvadoran Lenca had frequent contact with various Maya groups as well as other indigenous peoples of Central America . The origin of Lenca populations has been a source of ongoing debate amongst anthropologists and historians . Throughout the regions of Lenca occupation , Lenca pottery is a very distinguishable form of Pre-Columbian art . Handcrafted by Lenca women , Lenca pottery is considered an ethnic marking of their culture . Some scholars have suggested that the Lenca migrated to the Central American region from South America around 3,000 years ago , making it the oldest civilization in El Salvador . Guancasco is the annual ceremony by which Lenca communities , usually two , gather to establish reciprocal obligations in order to confirm peace and friendship . Quelepa is a major site in eastern El Salvador . Its pottery shows strong similarities to ceramics found in central western El Salvador and the Maya highlands . The Lenca sites of Yarumela , Los Naranjos in Honduras , and Quelepa in El Salvador , all contain evidence of the Usulután - style ceramics .

Wales
An Act of Parliament in 1857 provided for the establishment of a number of art schools throughout the United Kingdom and the Cardiff School of Art opened in 1865 . Graduates still very often had to leave Wales to work , but Betws - y - Coed became a popular centre for artists and its artists ' colony helped form the Royal Cambrian Academy of Art in 1881 . The sculptor Sir William Goscombe John made many works for Welsh commissions , although he had settled in London . Christopher Williams , whose subjects were mostly resolutely Welsh , was also based in London . Thomas E. Stephens and Andrew Vicari had very successful careers as portraitists based respectively in the United States and France . Sir Frank Brangwyn was Welsh by origin but spent little time in Wales .
Jai alai

The MGM Grand in Reno also showcased jai alai for a very short period ( 1978 -- 1980 ) .
Friedrich Engels
The Condition of the Working Class in England is a detailed description and analysis of the appalling conditions of the working class in Britain during Engels 's stay in Manchester and Salford . The work also contains seminal thoughts on the state of socialism and its development . It was considered a classic in its time and must have been an eye - opener for most Germans . The work initially made rather little impact in England as it was not translated until the end of the nineteenth century . It was however very influential with historians of British industrialisation throughout the twentieth century . The book was published in English in 1887 .

Tres leches cake
The idea for creating a cake soaked in a liquid is likely of Medieval European origin , as similar cakes , such as British Trifle and rum cake , and tiramisu from Italy , use this method . Recipes for soaked - cake desserts were seen in Mexico as early as the 19th century , likely a result of the large cross-cultural transfer which took place between Europe and the Americas . Recipes appeared on Nestlé condensed milk can labels in the 1940s , which may explain the cake 's widely disseminated popularity throughout Latin America as the company had created subsidiaries in Argentina , Chile , Cuba , Colombia , Mexico and Venezuela in the 1930s . The cake is popular in Central and South America , North America and many parts of the Caribbean , Canary Islands , as well as in Albania , the Republic of Macedonia and some other parts of Europe . In recent years its popularity has increased in Turkey under the name of Trileçe .
The Miller's Tale
Again Nicholas is shown not as a brave knight but as a talented musician . He is shown to be very cultured as well as studied . Chaucer shows that Nicholas was skilled in the art of music , as he knew these certain songs which might have been quite popular at the time .

Evidence of common descent
Polyploidy is important in hybrids as it allows reproduction , with the two different sets of chromosomes each being able to pair with an identical partner during meiosis . Polyploids also have more genetic diversity , which allows them to avoid inbreeding depression in small populations . Hybridization without change in chromosome number is called homoploid hybrid speciation . It is considered very rare but has been shown in Heliconius butterflies and sunflowers . Polyploid speciation , which involves changes in chromosome number , is a more common phenomenon , especially in plant species .
Our Gang
The biggest Our Gang stars then were Sunshine Sammy , Mickey Daniels , Mary Kornman , and little Farina , who eventually became the most popular member of the 1920s gang and the most popular black child star of the 1920s . A reviewer wrote of his character in Photoplay : `` The honors go to a very young lady of color , billed as ' Little Farina . ' Scarcely two years old , she goes through each set like a wee , sombre shadow . '' Daniels and Kornman were very popular and were often paired in Our Gang and a later teen version of the series called The Boy Friends , which Roach produced from 1930 to 1932 . Other early Our Gang children were Eugene `` Pineapple '' Jackson , Scooter Lowry , Andy Samuel , Johnny Downs , Winston and Weston Doty , and Jay R. Smith .
Ganesha
The influence of this old constellation of iconographic elements can still be seen in contemporary representations of Ganesha . In one modern form , the only variation from these old elements is that the lower - right hand does not hold the broken tusk but is turned towards the viewer in a gesture of protection or fearlessness ( abhaya mudra ) . The same combination of four arms and attributes occurs in statues of Ganesha dancing , which is a very popular theme .

Sinking of the RMS Titanic
Those on Carpathia were startled by the scene that greeted them as the sun came up : `` fields of ice on which , like points on the landscape , rested innumerable pyramids of ice . '' Captain Arthur Rostron of Carpathia saw ice all around , including 20 large bergs measuring up to 200 feet ( 61 m ) high and numerous smaller bergs , as well as ice floes and debris from Titanic . It appeared to Carpathia 's passengers that their ship was in the middle of a vast white plain of ice , studded with icebergs appearing like hills in the distance .
Phase (matter)
A single material may have several distinct solid states capable of forming separate phases . Water is a well - known example of such a material . For example , water ice is ordinarily found in the hexagonal form ice I , but can also exist as the cubic ice I , the rhombohedral ice II , and many other forms . Polymorphism is the ability of a solid to exist in more than one crystal form . For pure chemical elements , polymorphism is known as allotropy . For example , diamond , graphite , and fullerenes are different allotropes of carbon .
Bert and Ernie
Bert knows what happened , and tries to tell Ernie that his ice cubes melted because of the electric blanket , but Ernie takes this to mean that a fish from the ocean came into the apartment and melted his ice cubes , and vows to find the ( non existent ) fish that melted them . The age of the characters is unclear . Sesame Street Live performer Taylor Morgan said in an interview that `` I just kind of try to think like a 6 -- year -- old or a 7 -- year -- old , because that 's how old Bert is . ''
