List of Game of Thrones characters
Bronn and Jaime infiltrate the Water Gardens and find Myrcella with Trystane Martell , but are intercepted by the Sand Snakes , Oberyn Martell 's bastard daughters , who seek to kill Myrcella as revenge against Cersei for Oberyn 's death . Bronn sustains a cut while fighting Tyene Sand before they are all arrested by the Dornish guard . While in custody , Bronn almost dies from poison due to Tyene 's blade being coated in it , though she gives him the antidote . Though he struck Trystane during the struggle , Bronn is ultimately spared and allowed to return to King 's Landing with Jaime , after Areo Hotah strikes him across the face in retribution for harming Trystane . In season six , he accompanies Jaime to the Riverlands to retake Riverrun from Brynden Tully for the Freys , and returns to King 's Landing afterwards . In season seven he accompanies Jamie to capture Highgarden , reminding Jamie that he is still owed a highborn wife and a castle by the Lannisters . When the baggage train and force of soldiers he and Jamie are travelling with is attacked by Daenerys ' Dothraki and dragons he attempts to use a scorpion ( giant crossbow ) to shoot down Daenerys ' dragon . One of his shots wings the dragon but does not kill it , and the scorpion is destroyed by fire . Bronn sees Jamie about to make a suicidal charge at Daenerys and shoves him into the water just as the dragon is about to incinerate him . In King 's Landing Bronn leads Jamie down into the lower levels of the Red Keep , ostensibly to practice with swords , before revealing he had been asked by Tyrion to bring Jamie to a meeting . Cersei describes this as treason , but Jamie takes no action against Bronn .
Mount Rainier
The volcano is highly eroded , with glaciers on its slopes , and appears to be made mostly of andesite . Rainier likely once stood even higher than today at about 16,000 ft ( 4,900 m ) before a major debris avalanche and the resulting Osceola Mudflow approximately 5,000 years ago . In the past , Rainier has had large debris avalanches , and has also produced enormous lahars ( volcanic mudflows ) , due to the large amount of glacial ice present . Its lahars have reached all the way to Puget Sound , a distance of more than 30 mi ( 48 km ) . Around 5,000 years ago , a large chunk of the volcano slid away and that debris avalanche helped to produce the massive Osceola Mudflow , which went all the way to the site of present - day Tacoma and south Seattle . This massive avalanche of rock and ice removed the top 1,600 ft ( 500 m ) of Rainier , bringing its height down to around 14,100 ft ( 4,300 m ) . About 530 to 550 years ago , the Electron Mudflow occurred , although this was not as large - scale as the Osceola Mudflow .
Jack the Giant Slayer
The film 's special effects were completed by seven different visual effects houses : Digital Domain , Giant Studios , The Third Floor , MPC , Soho VFX , Rodeo FX and Hatch Productions . Creating the giants took four main steps . The first step was Pre-Capture , in which performance capture was used to capture the actor 's facial and body movements and render them in a real - time virtual environment . The second step took place during principal photography , where Simulcam technology was used to help the human characters virtually interact with the giants that were rendered earlier in Pre-Capture . The third step was Post-Capture , a second performance capture shoot to adjust giants ' movements to seamlessly fit the live - action performances . The final step involved putting the finishing touches on the giant 's animation , skin , hair and clothing , and composition in the shots . Creating the beanstalk involved two main requirements : set extension for shots of the actors interacting with the beanstalk , which were shot against a bluescreen , and complete CG renderings for shots of the beanstalk growing and extending from Earth into the world of the giants .
Great Chicago Fire
As more buildings succumbed to the flames , a major contributing factor to the fire 's spread was a meteorological phenomenon known as a fire whirl . As overheated air rises , it comes into contact with cooler air and begins to spin creating a tornado - like effect . These fire whirls are likely what drove flaming debris so high and so far . Such debris was blown across the main branch of the Chicago River to a railroad car carrying kerosene . The fire had jumped the river a second time and was now raging across the city 's north side .
Land lot
Many developers divide a large tract of land into lots as a subdivision . Certain areas of the land are dedicated ( given to local government for permanent upkeep ) as streets and sometimes alleys for transportation and access to lots . Areas between the streets are divided up into lots to be sold to future owners . The layout of the lots is mapped on a plat diagram , which is recorded with the government , typically the county recorder 's office . The blocks between streets and the individual lots in each block are given an identifier , usually a number or letter .
Water in California
The Colorado River originates more than 1,000 miles ( 1,600 km ) from California in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado and Wyoming and forms the state 's southeastern border in the Mojave Desert . Unlike the other California watersheds , essentially all of the water flowing in the Colorado originates outside the state . The Colorado is a critical source of irrigation and urban water for southern California , providing between 55 and 65 percent of the total supply .
Tom Bombadil
In most film and radio adaptations of the story , Bombadil is notable by his absence ( an exception is the Mind 's Eye recordings ) . Peter Jackson stated that the reason the character was omitted from his film was because , in his view and to his co-writers , Bombadil does little to advance the story , and would make their film unnecessarily long . Christopher Lee concurred , stating the scenes were left out to make time for showing Saruman 's capture of Gandalf . Some of Bombadil 's dialogue , as well as the scene in which the hobbits meet Old Man Willow , are transferred into scenes which Merry and Pippin share with Treebeard in Jackson 's adaptation , included in the extended edition DVD .
Colombo
Christmas is another major festival . Although Sri Lanka 's Christians make up only just over 7 % of the population , Christmas is one of the island 's biggest festivals . Most streets and commercial buildings light up from the beginning of December and festive sales begin at all shopping centres and department stores . Caroling and nativity plays are frequent sights during the season .
LASIK
After the laser has reshaped the stromal layer , the LASIK flap is carefully repositioned over the treatment area by the surgeon and checked for the presence of air bubbles , debris , and proper fit on the eye . The flap remains in position by natural adhesion until healing is completed .
Pokémon Platinum
If the player 's Pokémon defeats the opposing Pokémon ( causes it to faint ) , it receives experience points . After accumulating enough experience points , it may level up ; most Pokémon evolve into a new species of Pokémon when they reach a certain level . Apart from battling , capturing Pokémon is the most important element of Pokémon gameplay . Although other trainers ' Pokémon can not be captured , the player may use a Poké Ball on a wild Pokémon during battle . A successful capture adds the Pokémon to the player 's active party or stores it in the PC if the player already has the maximum of six Pokémon . Factors in the success rate of capture include the HP of the target Pokémon and the strength of the Poké Ball used unless it is a Master Ball which has a 100 % capture rate ; the lower the target 's HP and the stronger the Poké Ball , the higher the success rate of capture is . Platinum features largely the same Pokémon as in Diamond and Pearl , with some added and some missing . Platinum features the Pokétch , a wristwatch - like device , introduced in Diamond and Pearl . It features simple applications such as a calculator , map , counter , and drawing pad . Platinum also features the Underground mode , a mode where players dig for spheres and Fossils .
Battle of Hampton Roads
Resolved ... That the thanks of Congress and the American people are due and are hereby tendered to Lieutenant J.L. Worden , of the United States Navy , and to the officers and men of the ironclad gunboat Monitor , under his command , for the skill and gallantry exhibited by them in the remarkable battle between the Monitor and the rebel ironclad steamer Merrimack .
Watchman (law enforcement)
The anxieties that darkness gave rise to had been met by the formation of a night watch in the 13th century , and by the rules about who could use the streets after dark . These rules had for long been underpinned in London and other towns by the curfew , the time ( announced by the ringing of a bell ) at which the gates closed and the streets were cleared . Only people with good reason to be abroad could then travel through the City . Anyone outside at night without reason or permission was suspicious and potentially criminal .
List of Madagascar (franchise) characters
In Exiled , Ted stows away on the submarine with King Julien , Maurice and Pancho when they escape the kingdom after Koto 's takeover . On the island inhabited by sultry lady lemurs , Ted is the only one ( due to his devotion to Dorothy ) who does not succumb to their seduction , and consequently , eludes capture . The stress of being alone and hunted causes a split personality to take over Ted , who rescues Maurice and King Julien from the Tentacle . Calling himself Snake , this version of him wears an eyepatch , vest , and has a handlebar moustache . Snake is an extremely competent and fearless fighter , who acts like a 1990s action movie star and often says his name out loud for no reason .
Santa Claus
Santa is really the only cultural icon we have who 's male , does not carry a gun , and is all about peace , joy , giving , and caring for other people . That 's part of the magic for me , especially in a culture where we 've become so commercialized and hooked into manufactured icons . Santa is much more organic , integral , connected to the past , and therefore connected to the future . --
Taxicabs of New York City
Participating drivers must have their car painted and the Taxi logo and information printed , and also the affiliated base on the rear sides , and cameras , meters and GPS added . The GPS will not allow the meter to work if the cab is starting in Manhattan below East 96th or West 110th streets , and in the airports .
The Bronx
In 2016 , W.R. Rodriguez published Bronx Trilogy -- consisting of the shoe shine parlor poems et al , concrete pastures of the beautiful bronx , and from the banks of brook avenue . The trilogy celebrates Bronx people , places , and events . DeWitt Clinton High School , St. Mary 's Park , and Brook Avenue are a few of the schools , parks , and streets Rodriguez uses as subjects for his poems .
Natural gas
The US EPA has acknowledged that toxic , carcinogenic chemicals , i.e. benzene and ethylbenzene , have been used as gelling agents in water and chemical mixtures for high volume horizontal fracturing ( HVHF ) . Following the hydraulic fracture in HVHF , the water , chemicals , and frack fluid that return to the well 's surface , called flowback or produced water , may contain radioactive materials , heavy metals , natural salts , and hydrocarbons which exist naturally in shale rock formations . Fracking chemicals , radioactive materials , heavy metals , and salts that are removed from the HVHF well by well operators are so difficult to remove from the water they 're mixed with , and would so heavily pollute the water cycle , that most of the flowback is either recycled into other fracking operations or injected into deep underground wells , eliminating the water that HVHF required from the hydrologic cycle .
Battles of Lexington and Concord
About 700 British Army regulars in Boston , under Lieutenant Colonel Francis Smith , were given secret orders to capture and destroy Colonial military supplies reportedly stored by the Massachusetts militia at Concord . Through effective intelligence gathering , Patriot leaders had received word weeks before the expedition that their supplies might be at risk and had moved most of them to other locations . On the night before the battle , warning of the British expedition had been rapidly sent from Boston to militias in the area by several riders , including Paul Revere and Samuel Prescott , with information about British plans . The initial mode of the Army 's arrival by water was signaled from the Old North Church in Boston to Charlestown using lanterns to communicate `` one if by land , two if by sea '' .
Golden Gate Bridge
In May 1924 , Colonel Herbert Deakyne held the second hearing on the Bridge on behalf of the Secretary of War in a request to use federal land for construction . Deakyne , on behalf of the Secretary of War , approved the transfer of land needed for the bridge structure and leading roads to the `` Bridging the Golden Gate Association '' and both San Francisco County and Marin County , pending further bridge plans by Strauss . Another ally was the fledgling automobile industry , which supported the development of roads and bridges to increase demand for automobiles .
Water supply and sanitation in Abu Dhabi
Investment in desalination plants is financed by the private sector through BOO contracts . Investment in water distribution and sewerage infrastructure is financed by the government through subsidies to the respective public companies . Investment in both power and water production and distribution was more than US $36 billion from 1999 to 2008 . Since power and water are produced and distributed by the same companies , separate figures for investment in water infrastructure are not available .
Google Street View
Google Street View is a technology featured in Google Maps and Google Earth that provides panoramic views from positions along many streets in the world . It was launched in 2007 in several cities in the United States , and has since expanded to include cities and rural areas worldwide . Streets with Street View imagery available are shown as blue lines on Google Maps .
Copper in architecture
When properly designed and installed , a copper roof provides an economical , long - term roofing solution . Tests on European copper roofs from the 18th century showed that , in theory , copper roofs can last one thousand years .
Bradford
Today Bradford is accessed by several trunk roads , the A647 between Leeds and Halifax , via Queensbury , the A650 between Wakefield and Keighley , the A658 to Harrogate and the A6036 to Halifax via Shelf .
Christmas tree cultivation
The first Christmas tree farm was established in 1901 , but most consumers continued to obtain their trees from forests until the 1930s and 1940s . Christmas tree farming was once seen only as a viable alternative for low - quality farmland , but that perception has changed within the agriculture industry . For optimum yield and quality , land should be flat or gently rolling and relatively free of debris and undergrowth .
Akbar
The reign of Akbar was characterised by commercial expansion . The Mughal government encouraged traders , provided protection and security for transactions , and levied a very low custom duty to stimulate foreign trade . Furthermore , it strived to foster a climate conductive to commerce by requiring local administrators to provide restitution to traders for goods stolen while in their territory . To minimise such incidents , bands of highway police called rahdars were enlisted to parol roads and ensure safety of traders . Other active measures taken included the construction and protection of routes of commerce and communications . Indeed , Akbar would make concerted efforts to improve roads to facilitate the use of wheeled vehicles through the Khyber Pass , the most popular route frequented by traders and travellers in journeying from Kabul into Mughal India . He also strategically occupied the northwestern cities of Multan and Lahore in the Punjab and constructed great forts , such as the one at Attock near the crossing of the Grand Trunk Road and the Indus river , as well as a network of smaller forts called thanas throughout the frontier to secure the overland trade with Persia and Central Asia .
List of The Big Bang Theory characters
In season nine , he comes to Howard and Bernadette 's house since they are talking about renovating and he comes over to help . While Howard and he are busy together , Mike asks Howard why he does not want kids , but Howard sets things straight when he tells Mike that it is actually Bernadette who does not want kids and she causes the dust avalanche on both of them . Bernadette had lied to her father about not wanting kids because she did not want to disappoint him . Mike says he does not want to see her miss out since raising children was the most rewarding experience of his life , but Bernadette points out that her mother did everything while all Mike did was come home from work , sit on the couch , and drink beer , which is unrelated to raising kids . Defeated , Mike leaves , saying this is really a conversation for husband and wife and tells Bernadette if her mother asks , he was at the Wolowitz house until 10 . He briefly comes back into the kitchen and sees Howard and Bernadette doing `` dirty talk '' and then disappears again through the doorway .
2004 Indian Ocean earthquake and tsunami
The tsunami height on the Banda Aceh coast were lower than half of that on the west coast . The tsunami height was reduced by half from 12 m ( 39.4 ft ) at Ulee Lheue to 6 m ( 19.7 ft ) a further 8 km ( 4.97 miles ) to the northeast . The inundation was observed to lie 3 -- 4 km ( 1.86 -- 2.49 miles ) inland throughout the city . Flow depths over the ground were observed to be over 9 m ( 29.5 ft ) in the seaside section of Ulee Lheue and tapered landward . The level of destruction was more extreme on the northwestern flank of the city in the areas immediately inland of the aquaculture ponds . The area toward the sea was wiped clean of nearly every structure , while closer to the river -- dense construction in a commercial district showed the effects of severe flooding . The flow depth was just at the level of the second floor , and there were large amounts of debris piled along the streets and in the ground - floor storefronts . One of the reasons seems to be that there is an archipelago between Lhoknga and Banda Aceh . Within 2 -- 3 km ( 1.24 -- 1.86 miles ) from the shoreline , houses , except for strongly - built reinforced concrete ones with brick walls , which seemed to have been partially damaged by the earthquake before the tsunami attack , were completely swept away or destroyed by the tsunami .
Drinking water supply and sanitation in the United States
Miami and its metropolitan area obtain drinking water primarily from the Biscayne Aquifer . Given increasing water demand , Miami - Dade County is considering the use of reclaimed water to help preserve the Biscayne Aquifer . Memphis receives its water from artesian aquifers . San Antonio draws the bulk of its water from the Edwards Aquifer ; it did not use any surface water until 2006 . Cities
Flint water crisis
While the local outcry about Flint water quality was growing in early 2015 , Flint water officials filed papers with state regulators purporting to show that `` tests at Flint 's water treatment plant had detected no lead and testing in homes had registered lead at acceptable levels . '' The documents falsely claimed that the city had tested tap water from homes with lead service lines , and therefore the highest lead - poisoning risks ; in reality , the city does not know the locations of lead service lines , which city officials acknowledged in November 2015 after the Flint Journal / MLive published an article revealing the practice , using documents obtained under the Michigan Freedom of Information Act . The Journal / MLive reported that the city had `` disregarded federal rules requiring it to seek out homes with lead plumbing for testing , potentially leading the city and state to underestimate for months the extent of toxic lead leaching into Flint 's tap water . ''
Coal
`` Clean '' coal technology is a collection of technologies being developed to mitigate the environmental impact of coal energy generation . Those technologies are being developed to remove or reduce pollutant emissions to the atmosphere . Some of the techniques that would be used to accomplish this include chemically washing minerals and impurities from the coal , gasification ( see also IGCC ) , improved technology for treating flue gases to remove pollutants to increasingly stringent levels and at higher efficiency , carbon capture and storage technologies to capture the carbon dioxide from the flue gas and dewatering lower rank coals ( brown coals ) to improve the calorific value , and thus the efficiency of the conversion into electricity . Figures from the United States Environmental Protection Agency show that these technologies have made today 's coal - based generating fleet 77 percent cleaner on the basis of regulated emissions per unit of energy produced .
Economy of New Zealand
Sheep farming began in the Wairarapa but soon spread up and down the east coast from Southland to the East Cape once rudimentary roads and transport became available . Much of the land used for farming was taken or leased from Māori . Sheep numbers grew quickly and by the mid-1850s , there were already a million sheep in New Zealand ; by the early 1870s , there were 10 million . Wool became the first staple export , initially exported from the Wellington settlement in the late 1850s , although unrefrigerated meat and dairy products were exported as far as Australia .
Prague
The main flow of traffic leads through the centre of the city and through inner and outer ring roads ( partially in operation ) .
Christmas traditions
The singing of carols is a very important part of Romanian Christmas festivities . On the first day of Christmas , many carolers walk through the streets of the towns and villages , holding a star made of cardboard and paper on which are depicted various scenes from the Bible . Romanian tradition has the smallest children going from house to house , singing carols and reciting poems and legends during the whole Christmas season . The leader of the group carries with him a star made of wood , covered with metal foil and decorated with bells and coloured ribbons . An image of the Nativity is painted on the star 's centre , and this piece of handiwork is attached to the end of a broom or other long stick .
Water in California
The North Bay Aqueduct of the California State Water Project delivers an annual average of 39,309 acre - feet of water to urban communities and agricultural users in Napa , Solano , Sonoma and Marin counties . That water is diverted from the Sacramento - San Joaquin River Delta Estuary , a water hub that serves as the junction of south - , west , and north - flowing rivers draining the Cascade and Sierra Nevada mountain ranges .
Çatalhöyük
The population of the eastern mound has been estimated to be , at maximum , 10,000 people , but the population likely varied over the community 's history . An average population of between 5,000 and 7,000 is a reasonable estimate . The sites were set up as large numbers of buildings clustered together . Households looked to their neighbors for help , trade , and possible marriage for their children . The inhabitants lived in mudbrick houses that were crammed together in an aggregate structure . No footpaths or streets were used between the dwellings , which were clustered in a honeycomb - like maze . Most were accessed by holes in the ceiling and doors on the side of the houses , with doors reached by ladders and stairs . The rooftops were effectively streets . The ceiling openings also served as the only source of ventilation , allowing smoke from the houses ' open hearths and ovens to escape .
