A Song of Ice and Fire
During the 1980s and early 1990s , Martin 's novels had slowly earned him a reputation in science fiction circles , although he said to only have received a few fans ' letters a year in the pre-internet days . The publication of A Game of Thrones caused Martin 's following to grow , with fan sites springing up and a Trekkie - like society of followers evolving that meet regularly . Westeros.org , one of the main Ice and Fire fansites with about seventeen thousand registered members as of 2011 , was established in 1999 by a Swedish - based fan of Cuban - American descent , Elio M. García , Jr. , and his girlfriend ; their involvement with Martin 's work has now become semi-professional . The Brotherhood Without Banners , an unofficial fan club operating globally , was formed in 2001 . Their founders and other longtime members are among Martin 's good friends .
Climate of the Arctic
Another benefit from the Cold War was the acquisition of observations from United States and Soviet naval voyages into the Arctic . In 1958 an American nuclear submarine , the Nautilus was the first ship to reach the North Pole . In the decades that followed submarines regularly roamed under the Arctic sea ice , collecting sonar observations of the ice thickness and extent as they went . These data became available after the Cold War , and have provided evidence of thinning of the Arctic sea ice . The Soviet navy also operated in the Arctic , including a sailing of the nuclear - powered ice breaker Arktika to the North Pole in 1977 , the first time a surface ship reached the pole .
A Song of Ice and Fire
Martin deliberately ignored the writing rule of never giving two characters names starting with the same letter . Instead , character names reflect the naming systems in various European family histories , where particular names were associated with specific royal houses and where even the secondary families assigned the same names repeatedly . The Ice and Fire story therefore has children called `` Robert '' in honor of King Robert of House Baratheon , a `` Brandon '' in every other generation of the Starks in commemoration of Brandon the Builder ( of the Wall ) , and the syllable `` Ty '' commonly occurring in given names of House Lannister . Confident that readers would pay attention , Martin distinguished people sharing a given name by adding numbers or locations to their given names ( e.g. Henry V of England ) . The family names were designed in association with ethnic groups ( see backstory ) : the First Men in the North of Westeros had very simply descriptive names like Stark and Strong , whereas the descendants of the Andal invaders in the South have more elaborate , undescriptive house names like Lannister or Arryn , and the Targaryens and Valyrians from the Eastern continent have the most exotic names with the letter Y .

Like I'm Gonna Lose You
Rolling Stone writer Chuck Arnold called the song `` finger - snapping balladry '' and likened it to duets by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell . Melanie J. Sims of the Associated Press felt that `` Like I 'm Gonna Lose You '' was the most refreshing track on Title , writing `` Not only is it a nice change of pace sonically , but in a rare moment , the track gives Trainor 's vocals the main stage , without a catchy hook or quirky production yanking away the spotlight '' . Similarly , Elysa Gardener of USA Today wrote : `` Trainor is at her most appealing when she does n't try to be sly or subversive . Her yearning soprano is a perfect match for guest John Legend 's silky voice and presence on ' Like I 'm Gonna Lose You ' '' . Glenn Gamboa of Newsday called the song `` classic - sounding '' and said that it would `` stick with Trainor throughout her sure - to - be-lengthy career '' . Martin Townsend of the Daily Express named `` Like I 'm Gonna Lose You '' , along with `` Walkashame '' , as the album 's best tracks . Virgin Media 's Ian Gittins opined that the song manifested Trainor 's vocal prowess .
Talk:Wifebeater (shirt)
-- I would like to back up this comment , as I have never in my life heard of an A-shirt . If I came across this name , I would have no idea what it is . The most common names / terms for this clothing item are * as I see it * : ( in order from most common - less common ) ( 1 ) Tank top ... 2 ) Wife - beater ... 3 ) Sleeveless ( T - ) shirt / Sleeveless T or simply Sleeveless ... 4 ) Muscle - shirt ... 5 ) the generic / encompassing term of T - shirt or Tee ... 6 ) ( White ) Trash - top ) And for Women : ( in order from terms I hear more - hear less ) 1 ) Women 's tank top ... 2 ) Halter top ... 3 ) Boob tube ... 4 ) Boy beater ... 5 ) Camisole ... 6 ) the generic term of Blouse ... So those are the names I have heard of for the Tank top and women 's Tank top , names which I had been aware of before this article . And again , never had I heard of A-shirt , which I had to google to come to understand it is short for Athletic shirt , which makes more sense to me than calling it an A-shirt . When I first read A-shirt , I tried thinking of a shirt shaped like an A , since the T - shirt is named because it is shaped like a T ... but alas , I could not . I even googled synonyms of Tank top , and the first page I got with a list did not even include A-shirt . So it is my opinion that renaming the page A-shirt does not make alot of sense . If you are committed on renaming the page , I think it would make much more sense to rename it with Tank top , as everyone knows what a Tank top is , and is not offensive ... which I have listed as the most common term for this type of shirt . 71.212. 94.23 ( talk ) 04 : 08 , 7 April 2014 ( UTC ) -- Preturnatúl
Poetic Justice (film)
On July 23 , 2013 , John Singleton spoke with writer Lathleen Ade - Brown for Essence magazine and discussed the 20th anniversary of the film . The interview mentioned that in 1993 , black female leads were rare and he wanted to give a voice to young African American women . He also revealed whose idea it was for Janet Jackson to wear the now iconic box braid extensions : `` That was a collaboration between myself , Janet , ( dance choreographer ) Fatima Robinson and a dancer named Jossie Harris . Jossie had the braids in Michael Jackson 's `` Remember the Time '' video , which I directed . I brought her and Fatima and a couple of other dancers over to hang out with Janet and they all became friends . I said , `` Why do n't we try and do Janet 's hair like Jossie 's hair ? '' We got the hairstyle from Harlem and just put it in a West Coast movie. `` . Jada Pinkett Smith , Lisa Bonet , Monica Calhoun and many other popular actresses auditioned for the role of Justice , though Singleton knew from the script 's draft that the role was solely intended for Janet Jackson . Rapper Ice Cube was offered the lead role of Lucky , but turned it down , stating that he was not in a point in his career that he would play in romantic movies . The movie was filmed in 1992 .
Thor (film)
He 's a hot - headed , temperamental young man ... probably a chip off of the old block but I decide he 's not really ready to rule the future kingdom , so I banish him . I 'm harsh and my wife complains and I say , ' That is why I 'm king . ' He 's ruthless , take - it - or - leave - it . Women are much more forgiving ; men are not so forgiving . I know in my life , my karma is , ' If you do n't like it , tough , move on . ' And I move on . I 'm a little like Odin myself '' . In May 2016 , Mel Gibson stated he was approached about the role but `` did n't do it '' . Tadanobu Asano as Hogun : A member of the Warriors Three , primarily identified by his grim demeanor and as the only member who is not an Æsir . Ray Stevenson said of Asano 's character , `` He does n't speak much but when he does , everybody shuts up . But also in the healing room where everyone licks their wounds , he 's the guy who just goes about his business '' . Josh Dallas as Fandral : A member of the Warriors Three , characterized as an irrepressible swashbuckler and romantic . Stuart Townsend was initially cast after Zachary Levi was forced to vacate the role due to a scheduling conflict . However , days before filming began , Townsend was replaced by Dallas citing `` creative differences '' . Dallas said he believed that Fandral `` would like to think of himself a philanderer . He would like to think of himself , I was saying , as the R. Kelly of Asgard . He 's a lover , not a fighter '' . Dallas mentioned that Errol Flynn was an inspiration for the character stating , `` He was a big inspiration for the character and for me . I watched a lot of his movies and kind of got that into my bones . I tried to bring out that little bit of Flynn - ness in it . Flynn had a lot of that boyish charm that Fandral 's got ...
Song Beneath the Song
Critical response prior to broadcast was mixed . TVLine 's Michael Ausiello assessed that the episode would `` either be a show - stopping triumph or a spectacular failure , '' with no possible middle ground . William Keck of TV Guide initially had `` serious doubts , '' which were allayed by a visit to the set , during which he listened to the soundtrack . Keck likened it to the `` much - beloved early seasons of Grey 's , when music played a vital role on the show . '' Entertainment Weekly 's Dan Snierson predicted heavy use of Auto Tune , though fellow EW writer Jennifer Armstrong was optimistic that the episode would be a success , commenting : `` I have faith . I like musicals , I like Grey 's . I 'm rooting for this to work . ''

Frank Worsley
When sailing the western side of Spitzbergen , a blade of the propeller of the Island was damaged in a collision with an ice floe . When the engine was run , severe vibration was felt and this forced Worsley to continue northwards under sail , searching for Gillis Land until the ship reached the pack ice . While doing so , soundings were taken which confirmed the presence of a submarine plain between Spitzbergen and the island group of Franz Josef Land . Turning south and sailing along the northern coast of Spitzbergen , a previously uncharted harbour was found , which Algarsson named after Worsley . The ship then sailed north , still seeking Gillis Land , but became trapped in the ice . Worsley took the opportunity to create an ice dock to facilitate repairs to the rudder , which had become damaged . After two weeks beset in the ice , he used the engine to break free but the last blade of the propeller was lost in the process .

But for a critic to come right out and say `` I strongly advise you NOT to buy this book / CD / see this movie '' is overstepping the boundaries . I guess that would n't bother you if you watch TV talent shows where the judges , rather than remaining impartial and objective , become just like any other audience member and sometimes even lead the standing ovations that have now become obligatory fare for anyone who 's not totally horrible . Talk about devaluing special gestures once reserved for truly exceptional performances . If everyone 's that exceptional , then no one is . -- ♬ Jack of Oz ♬ 21 : 26 , 7 July 2012 ( UTC ) Critics will sometimes allude to an interesting ending , but not spoil what it is . They may not be earning money from the studios , but if they cross the line , they might be banned from preview screenings and the like , and that would tend to work against them . In the old days when I watched shows like Siskel & Ebert , I became aware that critics enter the theater with a predefined set of expectations . That may seem biased , but keep in mind they have seen thousands of films and know all the patterns . So if it meets or exceeds expectations , it 's thumbs up , and if not , it 's thumbs down . As Jack notes , it 's not their job to lay out the plot line , but just to give you enough to decide whether you might like to see it , regardless of whether professional critics like it or not . ← Baseball Bugs carrots → 22 : 11 , 7 July 2012 ( UTC ) Speaking of Roger Ebert , I am reminded of his review of the 1994 film North where he famously and bluntly stated `` I hated this movie . Hated , hated , hated , hated , hated this movie . I hated it . '' Yes , he did briefly explain what the film was about , but I guess he was too upset about its entire basis and that he really did not need to spoil the ending to make his point .
Eukaryotic transcription
RNA Polymerases I , II , and III contain 14 , 12 , and 17 subunits , respectively . All three eukaryotic polymerases have five core subunits that exhibit homology with the β , β ' , α , α , and ω subunits of E. coli RNA polymerase . An identical ω - like subunit ( RBP6 ) is used by all three eukaryotic polymerases , while the same α - like subunits are used by Pol I and III . The three eukaryotic polymerases share four other common subunits among themselves . The remaining subunits are unique to each RNA polymerase . The additional subunits found in Pol I and Pol III relative to Pol II , are homologous to Pol II transcription factors .
Tom Lehrer
In 2003 he commented that his particular brand of political satire is more difficult in the modern world : `` The real issues I do n't think most people touch . The Clinton jokes are all about Monica Lewinsky and all that stuff and not about the important things , like the fact that he would n't ban land mines ... I 'm not tempted to write a song about George W. Bush . I could n't figure out what sort of song I would write . That 's the problem : I do n't want to satirise George Bush and his puppeteers , I want to vaporize them . ''
Lucky Spencer
When asked about the now strained relationship between Lucky and Luke , Jackson stated : `` Tony ( Geary ) and I have had some great scenes that feel like re-establishing something . Again , I did not watch the other versions of Lucky , but for me it 's picking up where I left off ten years ago , but now as an adult . There is a lot of interesting chemistry going on there . '' The history between Jackson and Geary helped the on - screen relationship become more dynamic . Jackson 's return also saw the relationship between Lucky and Jason change . Although Lucky does not abandon the police force , the previously black - and - white cop works hand - in - hand with the mob enforcer in attempts to take down both `` The Balkan '' ( Benzali ) and Franco ( James Franco ) . Lucky becomes stuck between the two sides of the law . Jackson explained to The Huffington Post in 2009 : `` I think my instincts towards him being a detective ( include ) ambiguity . Growing up as Luke 's son , and given Luke 's ties to the mob , Lucky 's seen the world from both sides . I do n't think that Lucky sees it as black and white . There are shades of gray . '' In 2010 , when asked if Lucky would become more `` Luke - like '' now that he was back in the role , Jackson replied : `` I am hoping that is where they go with it . Lucky has been doing a lot of that straight cop stuff . I think if we can show the wild side of him that resembles Luke that will be nice . '' He commented in a 2011 interview with Entertainment Weekly that he would like Lucky and Luke to work a con again , stating : `` Lucky feels the most free and like himself when he 's doing stuff like that . They 've had Luke and Lucky pitted against each other for a while , so it 'd be nice to pair them up . ''

Exhalation
The main reason for exhalation is to rid the body of carbon dioxide , which is the waste product of gas exchange in humans . Air is brought in the body through inhalation . During this process air is taken in through the lungs . Diffusion in the alveoli allows for the exchange of O into the pulmonary capillaries and the removal of CO and other gases from the pulmonary capillaries to be exhaled . In order for the lungs to expel air the diaphragm relaxes , which pushes up on the lungs . The air then flows through the trachea then through the larynx and pharynx to the nasal cavity and oral cavity where it is expelled out of the body . Exhalation takes longer than inhalation since it is believed to facilitate better exchange of gases . Parts of the nervous system help to regulate respiration in humans . The exhaled air is n't just carbon dioxide ; it contains a mixture of other gases . Human breath contains volatile organic compounds ( VOCs ) . These compounds consist of methanol , isoprene , acetone , ethanol and other alcohols . The exhaled mixture also contains ketones , water and other hydrocarbons .
