Definitions for Common Labor Terms | Teamsters Definitions for Common Labor Terms   Unions have developed a special vocabulary to describe much of what we do. Definitions are given here for the most commonly used terms: A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z Accretions: Employees added to the bargaining unit once a union is certified as a representative of the bargaining unit.

Agency Shop:  A contract provision under which employees who do not join the union are required to pay a collective bargaining service fee instead. This service fee is usually the same as monthly dues. In some states public workers choose to pay service fee based on a percentage of the Union’s budget spent on representing the bargaining unit’s time and money spent on organizing and political action, not considered to be directly representing members. Alter Ego Employer:  An employer who changes the name and outward appearance of a business but is in fact the same employer. An employer cannot rid himself of his obligation to recognize the legitimate bargaining representative through an alter ego. ALJ:  See Administrative Law Judge .

Authorization Card:A union card filled out by pro-union workers during a representation campaign. The card usually specifies the union as a collective bargaining agent of the employees and must be dated and signed.

Imperative, perfect, pluperfect, perfect, and infinitive are types of?

Appendix:Romanian verb conjugation - Wiktionary Appendix:Romanian verb conjugation There are four basic conjugation types in Romanian. Type 1 — verb infinitive ending in -a Type 2 — verb infinitive ending in -ea Type 3 — verb infinitive ending in -e Type 4 — verb infinitive ending in -i or -î There are variations within each class. For instance, some type 3 verbs have past participles ending in -ut while others end in -s. More information on such differences can be found in the respective appendices for conjugation. Types: 1 - 2 - 3 4 Moduri impersonale (Impersonal/Non-personal moods)[ edit ] a putea — to be able a spune — to say Trecut (Past)[ edit ] The past infinitive is formed by combining a fi and the past participle of a verb. Examples: a fi iubit — to have loved a fi cântat — to have sung a fi putut — to have been able a fi spus — to have said L-am auzit cântând — I heard him singing L-am auzit cântându-i fetei — I heard him singing to the girl L-am auzit cântându-le fetelor — I heard him singing to the girls Am auzit-o cântându-i prietenului ei — I heard him singing to her friend El cântă folosind cuvinte din limbi străine — He sings using words from foreign languages As with the participle, gerunds are negated with the prefix "ne-". Examples: Ea cântă nefolosind cuvinte din limbi străine — She sings without using words from foreign languages Participiu (Past participle)[ edit ] Negative[ edit ] Negative past participles are only used as adjectives. For instance, you can not say "eu am nevorbit" if you mean "I have not spoken." The correct way to say this would be "eu nu am (or n-am) vorbit." Examples: un cuvânt nevorbit — an unspoken word o melodie necântată — an unsung melody cuvintele nevorbite — the unspoken words Adjectival usage[ edit ] Past participles can also be used as adjectives. In these cases, they are declined in the same manner as 4-form adjectives . cântați — sung (masculine plural) necântat — unsung (masculine & neuter singular) nevorbite — unspoken (feminine & neuter plural) Supin (Supine)[ edit ] The supine is formed simply by adding de before the past participle, although its use without "de" is possible, in which case it acts as a sort of noun. am nevoie de ceva de mâncat — I need something to eat dacă aveam de ales — If I had to choose Moduri personale (Personal moods)[ edit ] eu cânt — I sing, I am singing tu cânți — you sing, you are singing eu citesc — I read, I am reading el citește — he reads, he is reading eu cântam — I was singing tu cântai — you were singing eu citeam — I was reading el citea — he was reading Perfect simplu (Simple perfect, Preterite)[ edit ] Oltenia , the main region in which the simple perfect tense is used most. preterite endings -răți -ră Outside of the region of Oltenia (in South-West Romania) this tense is not commonly used. In most parts of Romania, the Perfect compus (or compound perfect) is preferred. In places where the compus is preferred, when the simple perfect is used, it generally indicates that an action was completed in the very near past. Examples: Mai mult ca perfect (Pluperfect)[ edit ] pluperfect endings -serăți -seră note that in all cases except for the 1st person singular, the pluperfect is formed by adding -se- before the preterite ending. Examples: eu cântasem — I had sung tu cântaseși — you had sung eu citisem — I had read el citise — he had read Viitorul indicativ (Future indicative)[ edit ] Viitor I (Future)[ edit ] The above auxiliaries are used with infinitives to form the literary future. Examples: eu voi cânta — I will sing ei vor cânta — they will sing Viitor 2 (Future perfect)[ edit ] The future perfect is formed by using the above auxiliaries with fi and the past participle. Examples: eu voi fi cântat — I will have sung ei vor fi cântat — they will have sung Popular 1[ edit ] The first type of popular future is formed simply by adding "o" to the subjunctive form of a verb. Examples: el o să cânte ceva pentru noi — he will sing something for us. el o să citească - he is going to read The second type of popular future is slightly mor


What popular spirit drink brand includes a bat in its logo?

Top 10 Alcohol Logos | SpellBrand® Top 10 Alcohol Logos 0 Alcohol beverages are popular throughout most of the world, making this a huge global industry. However, this is an image-conscious industry where a drink must have not only a certain taste, but a certain image as well. Some of these logos are more than a century old, while others are relatively new, but one thing they all have in common is good food and drink logo design. 1. Bacardi Logo Design There is more to this well-recognized logo design than most people realize and should have been featured in our Top 10 Beverage Logos . First, the bat that is the central image is indeed a significant part of the company’s history. When the founder of Bacardi acquired the distillery in 1862, there were many bats living inside the buildings. Because bats are a symbol of good luck in Cuba, where the company originated, this figure seemed like an auspicious choice. The circular shape is also important, because it creates a friendlier feeling to the logo. The red is eye-catching and bold, while the gold communicates quality. The company name is written in a serious, straightforward font that gives the image a little more weight. 2. Hpnotiq Logo Design This logo design ties directly into the company name with a whirlpool-like figure that is indeed hypnotic. The colors here are significant; not only is blue a calming color (read more about color theory), but one that implies that the product is clear and clean as pure water. Again we see the combination of a friendly circle along with straightforward writing, but in this case the writing is underlined for maximum effect. 3. Jagermeister Logo Design This logo design is successful because it is so different from most alcohol logos. However, the unusual images maintain heavy significance in the company lore. It is based on a local legend of a man named Hubertus, who hunted in forbidden woods and came upon a deer, who had a cross between his antlers. Luckily, the animal forgave the hunter, but the story retained enough meaning throughout the years that it was given center position in this popular drink’s logo design. The heavy Gothic writing is reminiscent of the German name and adds to the traditional image. 4. Dos Lunas Logo Design This tequila has a logo design that relates directly to its name, with ‘Dos Lunas’ meaning ‘two moons’ in Spanish. The ‘O’ in the first word is clearly and cleverly formed of two quarter moons, while the rest of the writing is plain and unobtrusive. The blue is graded so that it is lighter at the bottom, implying a night sky with the two moons rising. 5. Johnny Walker Logo Design Again, this logo design refers to the company’s history, which can be important in the alcohol product industry where tradition is a powerful selling point. The man walking in the image is the company founder, Johnny Walker. The writing is arranged to look like a signature, relating back to the founder. The black that is the main color is sophisticated and velvety, while the gold refers to wealth and quality in a way that is likely to appeal to the consumer. 6. Crown Royal Logo Design It’s hard to think of a more crown royal image than the one in this logo design. The crown in this image is situated on a gold edged pillow, which clearly refers to the name. The royal blue and gold both are parts of the same theme. The scrolling font adds to the traditional image, while the wavy accents give a feeling of movement. The touches of red draw viewers’ attention to the image. 7. Smirnoff Logo Design This logo is far more modern than most alcoholic beverage logos, which shows that this company is trying to present itself as a choice more friendly to the modern consumer. The silver and red is ultra modern while also attracting attention to the bottle. The bird images imply movement, while the crown above implies quality worthy of a royal. The name is printed in a banner, another implication of quality. The hard edges of the image add to this image, while hard edges imply strength while adding to the modern feeling of this logo design. 8.

Glossary | Section508.gov A | B | C | D | E | F | G | H | I | J | K | L | M | N | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z Access Board An independent federal agency that develops and maintains accessibility requirements, provides technical assistance and training on the standards, and enforces accessibility standards for federally funded facilities. The official name is the "Architectural and Transportation Barriers Compliance Board". Top Access Board Standards for Section 508 The Access Board has divided the standard into three subparts, and further organized the subpart containing technical provisions according to six general categories as follows: Subpart B -- Technical Standards Top Accessibility Forum Quick Reference Guide to Section 508 Resource Documents The Accessibility Forum has developed and validated a substantial set of resource documents on technology and accessibility information related directly to the Section 508 technical standards. These original resource documents are available and extensive, but technically complex, cumbersome, and hard to use. A consolidation and condensation of the project resource documents has resulted in a more usable document, informally referred to as the ‘paper tool’. This document contains a summary page for each of the technical sections of the Section 508 standard, and presents a reference page for each individual technical provision of each technical section of the Section 508 standard. Each reference page provides useful information organized into three distinct sections: What does this requirement mean? How can I tell if this requirement is met? Where can I get additional information? Top Alternate Methods Definition from Access Board standard : Different means of providing information, including documentation to persons with disabilities. May include, but is not limited to, voice, fax, TTY , Internet posting, captioning , text-to-speech synthesis, and audio description .

Text Only--Richmond: A Discover Our Shared Heritage Travel Itinerary • A large lock is adjacent to Byrd Park Pump House . • A number of historic buildings line the canal, including the old Virginia Electric and Power Company (VEPCO) hydroelectric plant dating to 1899 and located at the base of 12th Street.  Further west, at the base of Gamble’s Hill, lies the Tredegar Iron Works complex.  Tredegar, which employed more than 2,000 people at its peak and produced 90 percent of the cannons for the Confederate Army, now houses an industrial museum and the Civil War Visitor Center . The James River and Kanawha Canal Historic District extends approximately 10 miles from the Ship Lock at the south end of Peach St. in Richmond, westward to the intersection of an extension of Sleepy Hollow Rd. and the C & O Railroad tracks (outside the City in Henrico County). The linear district consists of earthen excavations that comprise the greater part of the canal system as well as the stone locks, bridges, culverts, walls, towpaths and other related objects. The buildings adjacent to the canal are not part of the district. Visitors can experience a re-routed version of the original canal system on the Canal Walk , which winds 1 ¼ miles through downtown Richmond alongside reconstructed portions of the Haxall Canal and the James River & Kanawha Canal. The Canal Walk parallels the north bank of the James River from 17th St. on the east to 5th St. on the west, and features interpretive displays and wonderful vantage points of the James River as well as some of Richmond’s early 20th century industrial buildings. The public pathway is open 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. For more information, search for the Canal Walk in the official tourism website for the Commonwealth of Virginia . The canal area is the site of many public festivities, concerts, and after-hours events. Brown’s Island, a popular spot for outdoor recreation and music events, is open from sunrise to sunset. The James River Park offers a variety of activities. The James River and Kanawha Canal Pumphouse and the Tidewater Connection Locks have been documented by the National Park Service's Historic American Buildings Survey. The Jefferson Hotel The Jefferson Hotel is one of the nation’s most outstanding examples of late 19th-century eclectic architecture. Major Lewis Ginter, the hotel’s patron, commanded the architects to provide Richmond with the finest hotel in America. In an era when sumptuous hotels were being erected throughout the country, the design and amenities of the Jefferson Hotel made Ginter’s dream into a reality. Completed in 1895, the hotel is a massive but graceful building of buff-colored brick and stone. Its design is typical of the work of New York architects Carrere and Hastings in that it effectively blends a number of architectural forms and styles, although the exterior elements are primarily from the Italian and Spanish Renaissance. Four towers rise from the main block of the hotel, combining with the large entrances, loggia, varied window forms, and architectural ornament to make the Jefferson an important Richmond landmark. Independent of its outstanding architectural merit the hotel, as originally completed, contained an abundance of technological advances such as service telephones, electrical lighting, central steam heating, and hot and cold running water for all 342 of its guest rooms. The building also has within it to this day an exceptional collection of late 19th century paintings as well as the famous life-size statue of Thomas Jefferson by Richmond sculptor Edward Valentine. The Jefferson Hotel continues to be known as “the” place to stay for important persons visiting Richmond. Notable guests include Teddy Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Charles A. Lindberg, Benjamin Harrison, William McKinley, and Calvin Coolidge. The hotel has been the scene for many important Richmond social events. Historically, the hotel had three principal entrances: the Main Street entrance leading into the Rotunda for commercial t

How about the Alt-Key and Ctrl-Key Can you explain what the wicks or tails of Renko charts represent? What is the Delete Key in the Macintosh Version. How about the Alt-Key and Ctrl-Key Much of the documentation for Investor/RT is written from the perspective of the Windows version of the software. There is frequent mention of the Alt key, the Ctrl Key and the Delete Key. These are keys typically visible on Windows PC keyboards. On Macintosh PC's the keys are labeled differently (Think Different, as the Apple slogan goes). The Alt Key is called the Command key on Macintosh keyboards. The symbol on the key typically resembles a cloverleaf. Long time users of Macintosh PCs will remember the days when this key was called the Apple key. The Ctrl-Key is called the Option Key on Macintosh keyboards. If you see the phrase "Ctrl-click..." this means Option Click for Mac users. The Delete key is more mysterious. Modern Mac keyboards do have a Delete Key but its function on the Mac is the same as the Backspace key on Windows. It is used to backspace when typing. When Investor/RT documentation says to press the Delete Key, you have to hold down the Function key (Fn Key) on the Mac keyboard and press Delete. Fn-Delete is a forward delete (as opposed to a backspace) and Fn-Delete is equivalent to the Delete Key on Windows PC's. On Windows PC the Delete Key is often labelled as the Del key. For example, to delete an indicator in a chart, first click on the indicator to select it, then press the Del Key on Windows or Fn-Delete on a Macintosh).

Note: No separate GDP provided for A.F.S. .   .   .   .   .   .   .  . The entire outlook revolves around a judgmentally presumed amount of growth that will take place over the next ten years  no matter what else happens. In its February 2014 report, CBO presumed a GDP of $24.7 trillion  in 2022. This is up slightly, but still rounding to $24.7 trillion it used in its January 2012 outlook two years earlier. Incredibly, this GDP number was not allowed to change, whether the debt was seen as rising to $15.3 trillion or to $23.2 trillion! This preposterous approach renders the entire “outlook” meaningless and nonsensical. The amount of debt is integrally related to GDP — at a very minimum, income tax revenues vary with GDP, so an additional $8 trillion of debt needed in the A.F.S. automatically implies a gigantic decline in GDP, and the associated need for more borrowing.  This approach is fatally pernicious: For any given higher A.F.S. level of “projected” debt, GDP is necessarily lower than presented in the report.  There is no indication that CBO believes debt might go up because the federal government will grow substantially, or that if it did there would be no stimulus, and the constant presumption of GDP growth invalidates the figures for debt as a percent of GDP. But Because CBO is backcasting from a presumed GDP ten years down the road, its numbers simply bear no relation to what may happen in the next few years, and will obscure the likelihood of impending crisis.   CBO has conceded it made as optimistic an assumption for growth as it could for the next ten years.  But it’s only playing “pin the tail on the donkey,” then waiting around to see what actually happens. In the meantime, from the perspective of its economic “outlook,” no actual changes in the rate of growth, no amount of decline in  income or consumer and investment demand, are allowed to modify the ultimate expectation of growth built into the GDP presumed for the end of a decade. [Note #1] CBO might protest that it is constantly revising it projections to reflect real changes in economic conditions. It appears not, but if so, that is all it is doing. It should stop pretending to see ten years into the future, certainly not 35 years into the future, and then disclaiming its work as non-forecasting. Some immediate points: It’s unclear why the amount of public debt, which now officia


What became known in the 1800s as 'the gay science'?

Friedrich Nietzsche (Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy) Stanford Encyclopedia of Philosophy Friedrich Nietzsche First published Fri May 30, 1997; substantive revision Tue Jun 7, 2016 Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900) was a German philosopher of the late 19th century who challenged the foundations of Christianity and traditional morality. He was interested in the enhancement of individual and cultural health, and believed in life, creativity, power, and down-to-earth realities, rather than those situated in a world beyond. Central to his philosophy is the idea of “life-affirmation,” which involves an honest questioning of all doctrines that drain life’s expansive energies, however socially prevalent those views might be. Often referred to as one of the first existentialist philosophers along with Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), Nietzsche’s revitalizing philosophy has inspired leading figures in all walks of cultural life, including dancers, poets, novelists, painters, psychologists, philosophers, sociologists and social revolutionaries. Related Entries 1. Life: 1844–1900 In the small German village of Röcken bei Lützen, located in a rural farmland area southwest of Leipzig, Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche was born at approximately 10:00 a.m. on October 15, 1844. The date coincided with the 49th birthday of the Prussian King, Friedrich Wilhelm IV, after whom Nietzsche was named, and who had been responsible for Nietzsche’s father’s appointment as Röcken’s town minister. Nietzsche’s uncle and grandfathers were also Lutheran ministers, and his paternal grandfather, Friedrich August Ludwig Nietzsche (1756–1826), was further distinguished as a Protestant scholar, one of whose books (1796) affirmed the “everlasting survival of Christianity.” Nietzsche’s grandparents on both sides were from the Province of Saxony, with his paternal grandfather, paternal grandmother (Erdmuthe Dorothea Krause, 1778–1856), maternal grandfather (David Ernst Ohler, 1787–1859) and maternal grandmother (Johanna Elisabeth Wilhelmine Hahn, 1794–1876) having been born respectively in the small towns of Bibra (just south of Jena), Reichenbach (southeast of Jena), Zeitz (between Jena and Leipzig), and Wehlitz (just northwest of Leipzig). When Nietzsche was nearly 5 years old, his father, Karl Ludwig Nietzsche (1813–1849) died from a brain ailment (July 30, 1849) and the death of Nietzsche’s two-year-old brother, Ludwig Joseph, traumatically followed six months later (January 4, 1850). Having been living only yards away from Röcken’s church in the house reserved for the pastor and his family, the Nietzsche family left their home soon after Karl Ludwig’s death. They moved to nearby Naumburg an der Saale, where Nietzsche (called “Fritz” by his family) lived with his mother, Franziska (1826–1897), his grandmother, Erdmuthe, his father’s two sisters, Auguste and Rosalie (d. 1855 and 1867, respectively), and his younger sister, Therese Elisabeth Alexandra (1846–1935). From the ages of 14 to 19 (1858–1864), Nietzsche attended a first-rate boarding school, Schulpforta, located about 4km from his home in Naumburg, where he prepared for university studies. The school’s rigid educational atmosphere was reflected in its long history as a former Cistercian monastery (1137–1540), with buildings that included a 12th century Romanesque chapel and a 13th century Gothic church. At Schulpforta—a school whose alumnae included the German Idealist philosopher, Johann Gottlieb Fichte (1762–1814) and the philologist, Ulrich von Wilamowitz-Möllendorff (1848–1931)—Nietzsche met his lifelong friend, Paul Deussen (1845–1919), who was confirmed at Nietzsche’s side in 1861, and who was to become an Orientalist, historian of philosophy, and in 1911, the founder of the Schopenhauer Society. During his summers in Naumburg, Nietzsche led a small music and literature club named “Germania,” and became acquainted with Richard Wagner’s music through the club’s subscription to the Zeitschrift für Musik. The teenage Nietzsche also read the German romantic writings of Friedrich Hölderlin and Jean-Paul


The popular UK 2010s acronymic 'Towie' fashion/lifestyle derives from what?

TOWIE stars in revolt at fame tax: TV bosses tell stars to hand over 15% of earnings ... and Shuttup! | Daily Mail Online 'Taxed': Lauren Pope is one of a number of stars at risk of losing earnings It's taken the TV world by storm, catapulting its cast from obscurity to Bafta-winning fame. But the success of The Only Way Is Essex could now be in jeopardy after producers launched a controversial bid to ‘claw back’ some of the cash being made by its stars. The move – dubbed a fame tax – has sparked a revolt, with many of the cast of the ITV reality series refusing to sign up to the deal. The action by production company Lime Pictures comes in the wake of the success of two cast members, nightclub promoter Mark Wright and beautician Amy Childs. Both have left the show - which follows the lives of 16 glamorous twentysomethings from the Essex suburbs of Brentwood and Chigwell - and are on course to become millionaires less than two years after using the show to launch showbusiness careers. Now Lime Pictures has put measures in place to take a share of future earnings from anyone else who leaves and tries to build a career from the show’s success. The revolt began last month when the next generation looking to emulate the success of Wright and Miss Childs - many of whom have put their own careers on hold to appear in the programme - received their contracts for the new series. The documents stated they must hand over 15 per cent from any deals such as magazine interviews, promotional work or endorsements secured because of their link to The Only Way Is Essex, referred to by its acronym TOWIE by fans. In addition, Liverpool-based Lime Pictures has inserted a clause for 2012 that says cast members who quit must continue to hand over 15 per cent from any deals struck for up to a year after they leave. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share The ‘fame tax’ comes on top of complaints about Lime Pictures’ refusal to pay cast members more than £50 a day to cover expenses despite them being expected to work for up to 13 hours during filming. For a 13-hour day, that equates to £3.84 an hour - the national minimum wage for over-21s is £6.08 an hour. When the series began in 2010, the cast - including events organiser Lauren Goodger and boutique owner Sam Fairs, who are still on the show - were not paid. But the £50 fee for all cast members, who also include ex-glamour model turned DJ Lauren Pope and model Chloe Sims, was introduced after it became a success with a peak of 1.5 million viewers last year. A source on E4’s rival show Made In Chelsea, about a group of socialites living around the exclusive Kings Road in West London, said main cast members were paid £200 a day. Lauren Goodger and Chloe Sims: Stars were not paid during the show's first year An Only Way Is Essex source said: ‘A lot of the cast have jobs outside TOWIE. But if you are working for 13 hours a day that doesn’t leave time to hold down a second job, so they are dependent on £50 and anything else they can make from deals. It seems unfair that on top of agents’ fees and tax, they also have to give 15 per cent back to the show.’ As a result of the dispute, The Mail on Sunday has been told, only a handful of the cast have signed deals for the new series, which is filmed a week ahead of transmission and returned to television last Sunday. It is not clear which cast members are involved in the dispute because they have agreed to be filmed without contracts in place. 'Reem': Joey Essex may be less than impressed with the latest news A show source said: ‘We are in discussions with their agents to tell us what their concerns are so we can continue negotiations.’ Lime Pictures revealed post-tax profits of £7.6 million and a turnover of £39.1 million for 2009-10, the year The Only Way Is Essex launched. A year later the show, described as ‘constructed reality television’ – a cross between a soap and a fly-on-the-wall documentary – beat more established series including Downton Abbey and the BBC’s Sherlock to win the Bafta Audience Award. Indeed the show has become so popular i

Monandry refers to having at any one time only one?

What does polygamy actually mean? | Dictionary.com Blog July 27, 2010 by:  Dictionary.com 33 Comments Sex, marriage, and the law. Always complicated. That’s why there are so many words to describe how two people (sometimes more) live and love together. Like polygamy. Do you remember the 2007 arrest of Warren Jeffs, a religious leader and polygamist on charges involving multiple marriages and underage girls? The case, and polygamy, are back in the news. The Utah Supreme Court reversed the charges against Jeffs and ordered a new trial, saying the jury received improper instructions. The legal situation revives interest not just in polygamy but in all the different types of marriage and the words that describe the multiplicity of matrimony. Polygamy is “the practice or condition of having more than one spouse, esp. wife, at one time.” Here’s the important part: polygamy refers generally to multiple spouses or multiple marriages, not husbands or wives in particular. The opposite of polygamy is monogamy . Poly is the Greek root for “many.” Mono is “one.” Gamos is “marriage.” So these terms literally refer to “many or one marriage.” Another common gamos term is bigamy , “the crime of marrying a person while one is still legally married to someone else.” The bi- is Latin for “two.” But here’s one you may not know that complicates matters further: Digamy is what you call “a second marriage, after the death or divorce of the first husband or wife.” Di- can also mean “two” or “double.” Is this complicated enough yet? Because there’s more nuptial nomenclature nonsense. It’s a common misconception that polygamy means one man married to multiple wives. The real term for that arrangement is polygyny , “the practice or condition of having more than one wife at one time.” Poly was defined above, and -gyny probably looks familar, from words like misogyny and gynecology : it’s the Greek gyne, “woman.” What about a woman who has more than one husband at one time? That’s polyandry . ( Andro is Greek for “man.”) Our journey comes down to a few more words, one of which is quite controversial. amour in -amory. Tellingly, one definition of amour is “a secret love affair.” Polyamory cuts to a primal concern about love, marriage and relationships: fidelity , and its counterpart, infidelity . Our last terms are how many people would describe with their relationships: monandry , “the practice or condition of having one husband at a time,” and monogyny , the same thing but regarding wives. What do these words say about your relationship and the state of marriage in general? PowerPoint Class: Orland Park Public Library, 14921 S.

Which country is officially named Bharat (and many similar cultural variations), eponymously based its ancient legendary emperor?

India - INDIA TOUR India 重点在印度 INDIA India, officially the Republic of India (Bharat Ganrajya), is a country in South Asia. It is the seventh-largest country by area, the second-most populous country with over 1.2 billion people, and the most populous democracy in the world. Bounded by the Indian Ocean on the south, the Arabian Sea on the south-west, and the Bay of Bengal on the south-east, it shares land borders with Pakistan to the west;[d] China, Nepal, and Bhutan to the north-east; and Burma and Bangladesh to the east. In the Indian Ocean, India is in the vicinity of Sri Lanka and the Maldives; in addition, India's Andaman and Nicobar Islands share a maritime border with Thailand and Indonesia. Home to the ancient Indus Valley Civilisation and a region of historic trade routes and vast empires, the Indian subcontinent was identified with its commercial and cultural wealth for much of its long history.[12] Four world religions—Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism—originated here, whereas Zoroastrianism, Christianity, and Islam arrived in the 1st millennium CE and also helped shape the region's diverse culture. Gradually annexed by and brought under the administration of the British East India Company from the early 18th century and administered directly by the United Kingdom from the mid-19th century, India became an independent nation in 1947 after a struggle for independence that was marked by non-violent resistance led by Mahatma Gandhi. The Indian economy is the world's tenth-largest by nominal GDP and third-largest by purchasing power parity (PPP).[13] Following market-based economic reforms in 1991, India became one of the fastest-growing major economies; it is considered a newly industrialised country. However, it continues to face the challenges of poverty, corruption, malnutrition, inadequate public healthcare, and terrorism. A nuclear weapons state and a regional power, it has the third-largest standing army in the world and ranks seventh in military expenditure among nations. India is a federal constitutional republic governed under a parliamentary system consisting of 28 states and 7 union territories. India is a pluralistic, multilingual, and multi-ethnic society. It is also home to a diversity of wildlife in a variety of protected habitats.The name India is derived from Indus, which originates from the Old Persian word Hinduš. The latter term stems from the Sanskrit word Sindhu, which was the historical local appellation for the Indus River.[14] The ancient Greeks referred to the Indians as Indoi (Ινδοί), which translates as "the people of the Indus".[15] The geographical term Bharat (pronounced [ˈbʱaːrət̪] ( listen)), which is recognised by the Constitution of India as an official name for the country, is used by many Indian languages in its variations.[16] The eponym of Bharat is Bharata, a theological figure that Hindu scriptures describe as a legendary emperor of ancient India. Hindustan ([ɦɪnd̪ʊˈst̪aːn] ( listen)) was originally a Persian word that meant "Land of the Hindus"; prior to 1947, it referred to a region that encompassed northern India and Pakistan. It is occasionally used to solely denote India in its entirety. The earliest anatomically modern human remains found in South Asia date from approximately 30,000 years ago.[19] Nearly contemporaneous Mesolithic rock art sites have been found in many parts of the Indian subcontinent, including at the Bhimbetka rock shelters in Madhya Pradesh.[20] Around 7000 BCE, the first known Neolithic settlements appeared on the subcontinent in Mehrgarh and other sites in western Pakistan.[21] These gradually developed into the Indus Valley Civilisation,[22] the first urban culture in South Asia;[23] it flourished during 2500–1900 BCE in Pakistan and western India.[24] Centred around cities such as Mohenjo-daro, Harappa, Dholavira, and Kalibangan, and relying on varied forms of subsistence, the civilization engaged robustly in crafts production and wide-ranging trade.[23] During the period 2000–500 BCE, in terms of culture, many regions of the subcontine


Which country borders Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia and Chile?

South America - travel > Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Ecuador South America Trends since we started South America Olá, Hola. Carnival in Rio, Incas, Caribbean beaches, Tango... There is so much here, too much. More or less it is easy to country-hop and visa free - it is just a huge area! Start loving buses. Country Summaries South America Argentina , Paraguay & Uruguay . For Central America go here . Intro.... From a traveller perspective, South America splits into roughly three regions. The more developed   Southern countries of Argentina, Uruguay and Chile; with their European   feel, political stability and relatively high standards (not to   mention great wine and meat). This is where   many start/finish a trip. Then you have the less developed 'Inca and   Amazon' countries - Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador/Colombia. Here you have   the main concentration of travellers, drawn not only by the world famous   sights, but also the significantly lower cost of travel (certainly in   Bolivia). And a more 'authentic' South American feeling with a great percentage of   indigenous population (highest in Bolivia) and stereotypical scenery. And lastly you have Brazil, which although often combined   as part of a larger trip (typically Rio and/or the Foz do Iguaçu ), needs to be treated separately due to its size and different vibe/language. South America on the whole lacks difficult border crossings and visa   headaches (although Americas will occasionally run into hefty charges). Bus transport   is easy to arrange and there is a very established trail of attractions   (often known as the 'Gringo Trail').   This however causes many to 'bite off more than they can chew' in terms of distances to be covered overland, not finding the time   or the energy   to discover out of the way gems and (although good value on a world   level) spending too much [money] in the Southern developed countries   and/or (especially) Brazil. The most 'backpackery' countries are Bolivia   and Peru with a clear 'trail' of attractions, 'party' hostels/towns/tours   and lots of people to meet. Tour mentality and the type of other travellers   (certainly at the budget end) you meet can jade some, certainly in the   case of Bolivia where you'll find the best value for money on the continent. You don't need to be fluent in Spanish (or even know more than a good number of phases), but a basic level makes a HUGE difference in this   region. The same can be said for Portuguese in Brazil. Spanish   lessons are normally cheap/easy to arrange on route. A number of   South/Central American countries have currencies pegged/fixed to   the US dollar where a better parallel (black market) exchange rate can exist. To benefit you need USD cash. Do your research before travel. This is currently the case in Venezuela   and Argentina. What   follows are only basic snap shot summaries. If you have decided these are   some of the countries you want to visit and need more planning information, you are strongly recommended to complement what you find here with a planning guide .

The Pascal (Pa) is a unit of measurement of what?

Pascal | Units of Measurement Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia = 14.696  psi . This definition is used for pneumatic fluid power (ISO R554), and in the aerospace (ISO 2533) and petroleum (ISO 5024) industries. In 1985 the IUPAC recommended that the standard for atmospheric pressure should be harmonized to 100,000 Pa = 1  bar = 750  Torr . The same definition is used in the compressor and the pneumatic tool industries (ISO 2787). The Unicode computer character set has dedicated symbols ㎩ ( Template:U+ ) for Pa and ㎪ ( Template:U+ ) for kPa, but these exist merely for backward-compatibility with some older ideographic character-sets and are therefore deprecated . Uses The pascal (Pa) or kilopascal (kPa) as a unit of pressure measurement is widely used throughout the world and has largely replaced the pounds per square inch (psi) unit, except in some countries that still use the Imperial measurement system . Tectonophysicists use the gigapascal (GPa) in measuring or calculating tectonic forces within the earth. In materials science , megapascals (MPa = N /mm2) or gigapascals (GPa = kN/mm2) are commonly used to measure stiffness or tensile strength of materials. Examples of (approximate) tensile modulus for several common substances include nylon at 2-4; hemp (fibre) at 58, aluminium at 69; tooth enamel at 83, copper at 117, steel at approximately 200 GPa, silkworm silk at 500, and diamond at 1220. The pascal is also equivalent to the SI unit of energy density , J/m3. This applies not only to the thermodynamics of pressurized gasses, but also to the energy density of electric , magnetic , and gravitational fields. Other, older units of measure occasionally used for pressure are millimeters of mercury ( Torr ) and millimeters of water (1.0 mmH2O = 9.80665 Pa). In the cgs system , the unit of pressure is the barye (symbol ba), which is equal to one decipascal . The older kilogram-force per square centimeter corresponds to 98.0665 kPa, [5] but is it often rounded off to 100 kPa in practice. In the former mts system , the unit of pressure is the pièze (symbol pz), which is equal to one kilopascal. Airtightness testing of buildings is measured at 50 Pa or 0.2 inches of water. [6] Hectopascal and millibar units Main article: Bar Meteorologists worldwide have for a long time measured atmospheric pressure in bars , which was originally equivalent to the average air pressure on Earth; the bar was divided into a thousand millibars to provide the precision meteorologists require. After the introduction of SI units , many preferred to preserve the customary pressure figures. Consequently, the bar was redefined as 100,000 pascals, which is only slightly lower than standard air pressure on Earth. Today many meteorologists prefer hectopascals (hPa) for air pressure, which are equivalent to millibars, while similar pressures are given in kilopascals in practically all other fields, since the hecto prefix is rarely used. Since official metrication , meteorologists in Canada use kilopascals (kPa), [7] [8] although in some other countries hectopascals are still in use. [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] As of 17 November 2011 the hectopascal is used in aviation as the altimeter setting. 1  hectopascal (hPa) ≡ 100 Pa ≡ 1 mbar. 1  kilopascal (kPa) ≡ 1000 Pa ≡ 10 hPa ≡ 10 mbar.


What does the 'Waffen' mean in the World War II German 'Waffen SS'?

The SS - World War II - HISTORY.com Google Origins of the SS In 1921, Adolf Hitler became the leader of a fledgling political organization called the National Socialist German Workers’ (Nazi) Party. The group promoted extreme German nationalism and anti-Semitism, and was dissatisfied with the terms of the Treaty of Versailles , the 1919 peace settlement that ended World War I (1914-18) and required numerous concessions and reparations from Germany. Hitler blamed Jews and Marxists for Germany’s problems and espoused the concept of an Aryan “master race.” Did You Know? A separate wing of the Dachau concentration camp was set aside for SS members found guilty of committing serious infractions. Close to 130 SS members were interned at Dachau when the camp was liberated by U.S. military forces on April 29, 1945. By the end of 1921, Hitler had his own private army, the “Sturmabteilung” (“Assault Division”), or SA, whose members were known as storm troopers or brown shirts (for the color of their uniforms). The SA accompanied Hitler during his public appearances and surrounded him when he made impassioned speeches urging his supporters to perpetrate violence against Jews and his political adversaries. In 1925, Hitler ordered the formation of the Schutzstaffel, an entity that was separate from, although linked to, the SA. The SS initially consisted of eight individuals, all of whom were entrusted to personally guard Hitler and other top Nazis. Julius Schreck (1898-1936), a dedicated Hitler loyalist, became the first commander of the SS. The following year, Schreck, who frequently wore a fake moustache that resembled Hitler’s, was replaced by Joseph Berchtold (1897-1962). Erhard Heiden (1901-33) took control of the SS in 1927. That same year, SS members were banned from partaking in political debate and were required to profess undying loyalty to Hitler and unquestioningly acknowledge him as their one and only prophet. Heinrich Himmler, Architect of the SS On January 6, 1929, Hitler named Heinrich Himmler commander of the SS, which at the time had close to 300 members. Himmler, who like Hitler was a fervent anti-Semite, had joined the Nazi Party in 1923 and eventually served as Hitler’s deputy propaganda chief. Himmler was determined to separate the SS from the SA, transform the SS into an elite force that was larger and more potent than the SA and, finally, alter the function of the organization within the Nazi Party. Under Himmler’s guidance, the SS evolved over the next four years into a first-rate paramilitary unit. To qualify for the SS, prospective members had to prove that none of their ancestors were Jewish and agree to marry only with the consent of their superior officers. In addition to receiving military training, recruits were taught that they were the elite not only of the Nazi Party but of all humankind. Above all else, they were to value allegiance and obligation to the Nazi ideal, place individual concerns aside and perform their duties diligently and as a cohesive unit. Such expectations were reflected in the SS motto: “Loyalty is my honor.” Consolidating Power By 1932, the SS had grown to include thousands of members, and the group began wearing all-black uniforms. When Hitler became Germany’s chancellor on January 30, 1933, SS membership had increased to over 50,000. In March of that year, Himmler announced the opening of the first Nazi concentration camp, in the town of Dachau , Germany. The camp initially housed political prisoners who opposed the Nazis. In April 1934, Himmler was named head of Germany’s secret state police, the “Geheime Staatspolizei,” more commonly known as the “Gestapo.” The Gestapo, which had been established the previous year, was charged with tracking down and arresting Hitler’s adversaries. Without benefit of trial, these alleged enemies either were executed or dispatched to concentration camps. At the same time, Himmler was one of the primary behind-the-scenes forces in the removal from power of Ernst Röhm (1887-1934), head of the SA. On June 30, 1934, during a purge of major SA offi

The word Tsar derives for which earlier famous leadership name and title?

Russian Tsars - Famous Emperors and Kings of Russia By Kerry Kubilius Updated December 24, 2015. As a traveler to Russia, you should be familiar with some famous Russian tsars and rulers. Tsars were the monarchs of Russia; they reigned for centuries until the 1917 revolution. These men and women made their mark on the region with reforms and conquests, built important architectural monuments still standing today, and are interesting subjects of study in their own right. Learn about their legacies, which provide context for understanding Russia. The word tsar is derived from the Latin word Caesar, meaning emperor. Though Russian language has a word for king (korol), this title is used for western monarchs. Therefore, “tsar” has slightly different connotations than “king.” Ivan the Terrible Ivan the Terrible was a medieval hero and a victorious opponent of the Tatars, whose conquests had shaken Europe for centuries. Though others had used the title tsar before Ivan the Terrible, he was the first to be designated Tsar of All Russia. He reigned from 1533 to 1584. continue reading below our video Tipping Etiquette Around the World Less “terrible” and more “formidable,” this tsar is the subject of legends of his authority and fierceness. Visitors to Russia will see evidence of Ivan the Terrible's reign on Red Square and within the Kremlin walls. One of Russia's symbols, St. Basil's Cathedral , was built by Ivan the Terrible to commemorate his capture of Kazan and Astrakhan, two Tatar states. Within the Kremlin walls, the Annunciation Cathedral bears Ivan the Terrible's mark: this church had a special porch added specifically for the tsar when he was barred from entering after he married his fourth wife! Boris Godunov Boris Godunov is known as one of Russia's greatest tsars. He wasn't noble by birth, and therefore his rise in status and power reflected his leadership qualities and ambition. Godunov reigned as regent after the death of Ivan the Terrible and was then elected tsar after the passing of Ivan's son and heir. Boris Godunov is responsible for the institution of serfdom in Russia, which shaped the country for centuries. A physical legacy of Boris Godunov's reign is evident in the Kremlin's Ivan the Great Bell Tower . He ordered its height to be increased and for no other buildings in Moscow to surpass it. Godunov is immortalized in a play by Alexander Pushkin and an opera by Modest Mussorgsky. Peter the Great Peter the Great's objectives and reforms changed the course of Russian history. This Russian meperor set a task to modernize and westernize Russia. He built St. Petersburg out of swampland, created the infamous table of ranks for civil servants, changed Russia's calendar, established Russia's navy, and expanded Russian lands. The Russian Empire is no more, but Peter the Great lives on. If it weren't for Pyotr Velikiy, as he is known in Russian language, the great city of St. Petersburg wouldn't exist. Russia's “window to the West” was designated the capital by Peter the Great, and culture and society flourished there, just as it had in Russia's original capital of <href="http://goeasteurope.about.com/od/moscowtravel/p/moscowprofile.htm">Moscow. Visitors to St. Petersburg can also see one of Peter's greatest palatial creations, Peterhof . The beauty of this palace rivals any in western Europe, attracting droves of visitors every summer who go to marvel at golden fountains and interiors rich with luxury. Catherine the Great Catherine the Great is one of the most famous Russian rulers, but she wasn't Russian at all. Born in Prussia, Catherine married into Russian royalty and staged a coup to overthrow her husband and take over the reign of the Russian Empire. During her rule from 1762 to 1796, she expanded the empire's lands and sought to modernize Russia so it would be recognized as a major European power. Catherine lead an interesting personal life, and her reputation for taking on lovers has survived her. Her chosen favorites sometimes acted as her advisors, sometimes as her playthings. They were generously compens


What two-word term refers to a coastal tide of little movement, especially when turning from low to high?

NOAA Tides & Currents The time elapsed since the preceding new Moon age of parallax inequality The time interval between perigee of the Moon and the maximum effect of parallax upon range of tide or speed of the tidal current. This age may be computed from the harmonic constants by the formula: age of parallax inequality = 1.837(M2° - N2°) hours. age of phase inequality The time interval between new or full Moon and the maximum effect of these phases upon range of tide or speed of the tidal current. This age may be computed from the harmonic constants by the formula: age of phase inequality = 0.984(S2° - M2°) hours. age of tide An Indian Ocean current setting southwestward along the southeast coast of Africa. air acoustic ranging sensor A pulsed, acoustic ranging device using the air column in a tube as the acoustic sound path. The fundamental measurement is the time it takes for the acoustic signal to travel from a transmitter to the water surface and then back to the receiver. The distance from a reference point to the water surface is derived from the travel time. A calibration point is set at a fixed distance from the acoustic transducer and is used to correct the measured distance using the calibrated sound velocity in the tube. Air temperature sensors are located in the protective well for the purpose of verifying uniformity of temperature for measurements taken by the air acoustic ranging sensor. Alaska Current A North Pacific Ocean current setting counterclockwise along the coasts of Canada and Alaska in the Gulf of Alaska. Alaskan Stream A North Pacific Ocean current setting westward along the south side of the Aleutian Islands. It is an extension of the Alaska Current. amphidromic point A point of zero amplitude of the observed or a constituent tide. amphidromic region An area surrounding an am- phidromic point from which the radiating cotidal lines progress through all hours of the tidal cycle. amplitude (H) One-half the range of a constituent tide.

Bryan Bedder/Getty Images for Breakthrough Prize Foundation On Tuesday, theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking and Russian billionaire Yuri Milner announced a plan to send interstellar probes to the Alpha Centauri star system. The audacious project would use a giant laser on Earth to accelerate scores of postage-stamp-size spacecraft to nearly the speed of light. They would cross the void in just 20 years — virtually no time on the scale of interstellar travel. The plan for " Breakthrough Starshot " laid out at the news conference looks both ambitious and exciting. But if it's really going to work, there are several down-to-earth problems these would-be star trekkers will have to overcome. Do You Have A Permit For That Planetary Laser? Starshot's tiny probes are supposed to be given a big push by a mammoth 100 gigawatt laser back on Earth. A laser that powerful could also fry anything in its path, including orbiting satellites. "If somebody says, 'Hey look, I'm concerned about you hitting a potential satellite,' " says Pete Worden, the project's leader. "We won't fire when it's in the way." Worden admits the people of Earth are unlikely to take the Starshot project at its word. "We anticipate that there would be international agreements in control of this," he says. The team will work with all countries to get the necessary permits in order. Article continues after sponsorship Houston, We Had A Problem ... Last Year Once the hundreds or thousands of probes leave our solar system, they would be on their own in more ways than one. Physics dictates that communications between Earth and the probes can't happen faster than the speed of light. That means if one of the probes runs into trouble a light year into its journey, then it will take a year for its distress call to reach home. It will take another year for mission control's instructions to reach the little craft. It's safe to say that in the two years it takes to get help, the probe will have either fixed itself or died. Millions? Try Billions Milner, the Russian entrepreneur , has put up $100 million of his own money for the project. That sounds impressive, but in the space business, it's peanuts. The New Horizons probe that zipped past Pluto last year cost $722 million. Pluto is 3 billion miles from Earth. Alpha Centauri is 25 trillion miles away. In other words, getting 0.012 percent of the way to Alpha Centauri cost seven times as much as this week's pledged funding. Milner acknowledged this, but hopes his seed money can get things started. The "starchip" would be about the size of a postage stamp, Yuri Milner says, and the sail would be about a yard across.

"According to the popular metaphorical expression, ""Revenge is a dish best served (what?)""?"

Learn and talk about Revenge, Revenge "Retaliation" and "Retaliate" redirect here. For other uses, see Retaliation (disambiguation) and Revenge (disambiguation) . Justice and Divine Vengeance Pursuing Crime by Pierre-Paul Prud'hon , c. 1805–8 Revenge is a form of primitive justice usually assumed to be enacted in the absence of the norms of formal law and jurisprudence . Often, revenge is defined as being a harmful action against a person or group in response to a grievance, be it real or perceived. It is used to right a wrong by going outside of the law. This is because the individual taking revenge feels as though the law will not do justice. Revenge is also known as payback , retribution , retaliation, or vengeance; it may be characterized as a form of justice (not to be confused with retributive justice ), an altruistic action which enforces societal or moral justice aside from the legal system. Francis Bacon described it as a kind of "wild justice" that "does... offend the law [and] putteth the law out of office". [1] Primitive justice or retributive justice is often differentiated from more formal and refined forms of justice such as distributive justice and divine judgment . Contents Engraving by Gustave Doré illustrating the Erinyes , chthonic deities of vengeance and death Shakespeare 's Hamlet tells a history in which a man avenged the murder of his father by killing his uncle [2] (Artist: Gustave Moreau ) Detractors argue that revenge is simply wrong, of the same design as " two wrongs make a right ". Social psychologist Ian Mckee states that the desire for the sustenance of power motivates vengeful behavior as a means of impression management: "People who are more vengeful tend to be those who are motivated by power, by authority and by the desire for status. They don't want to lose face ." [3] [4] Revenge dynamics[ edit ] Some societies encourage vengeful behavior, which is called feud . These societies usually regard the honor of individuals and groups as of central importance. Thus, while protecting of his reputation an avenger feels as if he restores the previous state of dignity and justice . According to Michael Ignatieff , "revenge is a profound moral desire to keep faith with the dead, to honor their memory by taking up their cause where they left off". [5] Thus, honor may become a heritage that passes from generation to generation. Whenever it is compromised, the affected family or community members might feel compelled to retaliate against an offender to restore the initial "balance of honor" that preceded the perceived injury. This cycle of honor might expand by bringing the family members and then the entire community of the new victim into the brand-new cycle of revenge that may pervade generations. [6] History[ edit ] German announcement of killing 2300 civilians in Kragujevac massacre as retaliation for 10 killed German soldiers. Nazi-occupied Serbia , 1941 Feuds are cycles of provocation and retaliation, fueled by a burning desire for revenge and carried out over long periods of time by familial or tribal groups; they were an important part of many pre-industrial societies , especially in the Mediterranean region. They still persist in some areas, notably in Albania with its tradition of gjakmarrja or "blood feuds". [7] During the Middle Ages , most would not regard an insult or injury as settled until it was avenged, or, at the least, paid for — hence, the extensive Anglo-Saxon system of weregild (literally, "man-price") payments, which placed a certain monetary value upon certain acts of violence in an attempt to limit the spiral of revenge by codifying the responsibility of a malefactor. Blood feuds are still practiced in many parts of the world, including Kurdish regions of Turkey and in Papua New Guinea . [8] [9] Honoring ones family, clan, or lord through the practice of revenge killings (敵討ち katakiuchi). These killings could also involve the relatives of an offender. Today, katakiuchi is most often pursued by peaceful means, but revenge remains an important part of Japanese culture. The


Square Root of 529 Theorems What is Square Root of 529 ? We know that 202 is 400 and 302 is 900. So square root of 529 is between 20 and 30. Since the number ends in 9, the square root either ends in 3 or 7. (i.e.,) 3 x 3 = 9, 7 x 7 = 49. We already know 232 is 529. 23 is the 9 th prime number of the perfect square values.

#89 Saint Patrick’s Day | Stuff White People Like Stuff White People Like This blog is devoted to stuff that white people like Feeds: #89 Saint Patrick’s Day March 16, 2008 by clander Normally if someone were to wake up at 7:00 in the morning, take the day off work, and get drunk at a bar before 10:00 a.m., they would be called an alcoholic, and not in the artistic, edgy way that white people are so fond of. On March 17th, however, this exact same activity is called celebrating St. Patrick’s day. This very special white holiday recognizes Saint Patrick , the patron saint of Ireland who helped to bring Catholicism to the Emerald Isle. His ascetic life is celebrated every year by white people drinking large amounts of Irish-themed alcohol and listening to the Dropkick Murphys. It is also the day of the year when you can make the most gains in your social and professional relationship with white people. Most of the time, white people consider celebrations of European heritage to be racist unless they omit large swathes of the 16th through 20th centuries. But since the Irish never engaged in colonialism and were actually oppressed it is considered acceptable and encouraged to celebrate their ancestry. For this reason, 100% of white people are proud to claim that they are somewhat Irish. A big part of St. Patrick’s Day is having white people feel particularly upset at the oppression of their ancestors that has in no way trickled down to them. If you find yourself talking with a white person who tells you about how their great grandfather was oppressed by both the English and the Americans, it is strongly recommended that you lend a sympathetic ear and shake your head in disbelief. It is never considered acceptable to say: “but you’re white now, so what’s the problem?” It is also worth noting that on this day, there is always one trump card that never fails to gain respect and acclaim. When you are sitting at an Irish bar and someone orders a round of Guinness, you must take a single sip and while the other white people are savoring their drink, you say: “mmmm, I know it sounds cliche, but it really is true. Guinness just tastes better in Ireland.” This comment will elicit an immediate and powerful response of people agreeing with your valuable insight. This statement also has the additional benefit of humiliating the members of your party who have not been to Ireland (and thus cannot confirm this proclamation). Having not traveled to Ireland and consumed a beer that is widely available in their hometown and throughout the world, they will immediately be perceived as provincial, uncultured, and inferior to you. It is also strongly encouraged that you memorize the lyrics to “ Jump Around .” It will come in handy.

Interesting fact: Irish people aren’t actually white. Well, aesthetically maybe, with the nocturnal-mushroom hide; however, I’m speaking under-the-skin here. On an unrelated note, here’s one for your list: white people like saying “I love you.” on March 16, 2008 at 8:12 pm ollie true, funny and perfectly timed. im guessing the author rushed this (to make it in time for tomorrow’s ‘big’ event) because there are quite a few spelling mistakes, but i appreciate it nonetheless! on March 16, 2008 at 8:17 pm gaycondo White ethnicities are great because white people get to implement them selectively. Nobody knows or gives a damn if you’re Irish until you put on a bunch of green, wear a plastic hat, and drink yourself stupid. If you’re Asian though everybody’s like “where are you from?” They may or may not ask this really slow and loud, as it the asian person can’t undestand English well. If the Asian person then tells the white person they’re from Boston or something like that it really confuses them. White people get to be from Ireland or Boston depending on their mood and whether it’s a holiday. on Marc


What creature appears in the coat of arms of Berlin?

Somewhere In Tyme home page Denotes mortality. Thistle The thistle is an ancient heraldic emblem of pain and suffering. It is the royal badge of Scotland. Thunderbolt The thunderbolt is an ancient heraldic emblem of sovereignty, power and speed. It is derived from the classic mythology in which the thunderbolt is the symbol of the Roman god Jupiter, or the Greek god Zeus. See also LIGHTNING BOLT. Tiger/Tyger The tiger signifies great fierceness and valor, and dangerous when enraged to combat. It also symbolizes one whose resentment will be dangerous if aroused. The tiger depicted in heraldry was the attempt of artists to portray an animal they had never seen and knew only by repute. Consequently, the heraldic tiger had the body of a wolf with a lion's tail and a mane, powerful jaws, and a long, pointed snout. It was referred to as a tyger to differentiate it from a regular tiger. A regular tiger was referred to as a Bengal tiger.   The tyger is sometimes shown staring into a mirror. This is based on the legend that the female tyger is a fierce and protective mother but has the fault of being easily hypnotized by her own reflection, thus allowing her children to be stolen by anyone holding a mirror. Torch The torch or firebrand signifies life, truth, intelligence, knowledge, purification and love. The bearing of a torch in arms is granted to a zealous man who has performed some signal service. Torteau A torteau is the name given to a red roundle, a roundle being any circular charge of color or metal. It represents the communion wafer or the cakes of bread eaten by crusaders before long battles. Tortoise The tortoise signifies invulnerability to attack and is also symbolic of slow, but sure progress. Tower The tower is very similar to a castle in that it was often granted to one who had faithfully held a castle for his sovereign, or who had captured one by force or stratagem. It is an emblem of grandeur and society. It is also a symbol of defense and of a steadfast individual. See also CASTLE. Tree The tree is a symbol of antiquity and strength. The oak tree was sacred to the ancient Greeks and the Celts; the lime or linden tree was sacred to the Germans and the ash tree was sacred to the Scandinavians. Trees symbolize home or property, and they are also generally considered a symbol of life and strength. Tree Trunk A tree stump or tree trunk with sprouting leaves may be used as a symbol of regrowth and rebirth. It is an object of veneration. Trefoil A trefoil, or a symbol of a three-leafed clover also known as a shamrock, represents the past, present and future. It is also often used as a symbol of fertility and abundance. According to legend, the shamrock was chosen as an emblem of Ireland because it was used by St. Patrick to explain the Holy Trinity. The shamrock also appears on some arms. See also SHAMROCK. Tressle Symbolizes hospitality. Tressure A tressure is two small borders in the outline of a shield, set close together, one within the other. The tressure symbolizes preservation or protection. Tressure-Flory-Counterflory If the tressure is decorated with flowers that look somewhat like the fleur de lis, inserted through the tressure it is known as a tressure-flory-counterflory. This is particularly associated with Scottish heraldry as it represents the close and long term alliance between France and Scotland. Trident Ready for the fray. Unicorn The unicorn is a mythical creature that has always been known as a symbol of purity and virtue. Thus it is sometimes used as a symbol of Christ. According to legend, the unicorn's horn has the power to heal sickness and purify water. Supposedly the unicorn could only be captured and tamed by a virgin. It would sense her purity and lay its head in her lap.   The heraldic unicorn is drawn with the body of a horse, the tail of a heraldic lion and the legs and feet of a deer. It is a popular symbol in heraldry; sometimes the head alone is also found. Vulture The vulture symbolizes death to ones enemies. Water Bouget Indicates one who carried water to the arms o


A dosimeter measures human absorption of?

Dosimeter - 必应 Sign in Dosimeter A radiation dosimeter is a device that measures exposure to ionizing radiation. It has two main uses: for human radiation protection and for measurement of dose in both medical and industrial processes. Dosimeter Personal dosimeters The personal ionising radiation dosimeter is of fundamental importance in the disciplines of radiation dosimetry and radiation health physics and is primarily used to estimate the radiation dose deposited in an individual wearing the device. Ionising radiation damage to the human body is cumulative, and is related to the total dose received, for which the SI unit is the sievert. Workers exposed to radiation, such as radiographers, nuclear power plant workers, doctors using radiotherapy, those in laboratories using radionuclides, and HAZMAT teams are required to wear dosimeters so a record of occupational exposure can be made. Such devices are known as "legal dosimeters" if they have been approved for use in recording personnel dose for regulatory purposes. Dosimeters can be worn to obtain a whole body dose and there are also specialist types that can be worn on the fingers or clipped to headgear, to measure the localised body irradiation for specific activities. Common types of personal dosimeters for ionizing radiation include: Electronic personal dosimeter (EPD)[edit] Main article: Electronic Personal Dosimeter The electronic personal dosimeter (EPD) is an electronic device that has a number of sophisticated functions, such as continual monitoring which allows alarm warnings at preset levels and live readout of dose accumulated. These are especially useful in high dose areas where residence time of the wearer is limited due to dose constraints. The dosimeter can be reset, usually after taking a reading for record purposes, and thereby re-used multiple times. MOSFET dosimeter[edit] MOSFET dosimeters are now used as clinical dosimeters for radiotherapy radiation beams. The main advantages of MOSFET devices are: 1. The MOSFET dosimeter is direct reading with a very thin active area (less than 2 μm). 2. The physical size of the MOSFET when packaged is less than 4 mm. 3. The post radiation signal is permanently stored and is dose rate independent. Gate oxide of MOSFET which is conventionally silicon dioxide is an active sensing material in MOSFET dosimeters. Radiation creates defects (acts like electron-hole pairs) in oxide, which in turn affects the threshold voltage of the MOSFET. This change in threshold voltage is proportional to radiation dose. Alternate high-k gate dielectrics like Hafnium dioxide and Aluminum oxides are also proposed as a radiation dosimeters. Film badge dosimeter[edit] Main article: Film badge dosimeter Film badge dosimeters are for one-time use only. The level of radiation absorption is indicated by a change to the film emulsion, which is shown when the film is developed. Quartz fiber dosimeter[edit] Main article: Quartz fiber dosimeter Quartz fiber dosimeters are charged to a high voltage. As the gas in the dosimeter chamber becomes ionized by radiation the charge leaks away, causing the fiber indicator to change against a graduated scale. Thermoluminescent dosimeter (TLD)[edit] Main article: Thermoluminescent dosimeter A thermoluminescent dosimeter measures ionizing radiation exposure by measuring the intensity of visible light emitted from a crystal in the detector when heated. The intensity of light emitted is dependent upon the radiation exposure. Both the quartz fiber and film badge types are being superseded by the TLD and the EPD. ^ Advances in kilovoltage x-ray beam dosimetry in http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/59/6/R183 ^ Polymer gel dosimetry review in http://dx.doi.org/10.1088/0031-9155/55/5/R01 ^ phd1 ^ http://www.mosfet.ca/global/pdf/technotes/te_4.pdf ^ V.

It covers some of the major strategies adopted by Pepsi and Coca-Cola like their pricing policy, sales promotion and advertising policy, distribution policy etc. The project has been made interesting with the inclusion of the topics, which covers the 4P's of marketing. The major players in the soft drink industry in India are Coke and Pepsi. Pepsi holds the major market share followed by Coke. They have a cut throat competition between themselves. Whatever strategy is followed by one company, it is copied by the other. Sample of to brands were selected on the basis of there uses and noticeciability. One of the selected brands is NO1 brand in their respective product categories the other one brand is close competitor of the No 1 brands. Total sample of size of 200 respondents selected on the basic of convenience was surveyed which include consumers. Data was collected from secondary as well as primary sources. Structure questionnaire was use to collect primary data INTRODUCTION: In the modern urban culture consumption of soft drinks particularly among younger generation has become very popular. Soft drinks in various flavors and tastes are widely patronized by urbane population at various occasions like dinner parties, marriages, social get together, birthday calibration etc. children of all ages and groups are especially attracted by the mere mention of the word soft drinks. With the growing popularity of soft drinks, the technology of its production, preservation, transportation and or marketing in the recent years has witnessed phenomenal changes. The so-called competition for this product in the market is from different other brands. Mass media, particularly the emergence of television, has contribute to a large extent of the ever growing demand for soft drinks the attractive jingles and sport make the large audience remember this product at all times. It is expected that with the sort of mass advertising, reaching almost the entire country and offering various varieties annual demand for the product is expected to rise sharply in the times to come. In any marketing situation, the behavioral / environmental variables relating to consumers, competition and environment are constantly influx. The competitors in a given industry may be making many tactical maneuvers in market all the time. The may introduce or initiate an aggressive promotion campaign or announce a price reduction. The marketing man of the firm has to meet all these maneuver and care of competitive position of his firm and his brand in the market. The only route open to him for achieving this is the manipulation of his marketing tactics. In today's highly competitive market place, three players have dominated the industry; The New York based Pepsi Company Inc. The Atlanta based coca- cola and U.K. based Cadbury Schweppes. Through the globe, these major players have been battling it out for a bigger chunk of the ever-growing soft drink market. Now this battle has been evolved up to India too with the arrival of these three giants. Soft drink industry is on amazing growth; ultimately these are only one person who will determine their fortunes. The Indian consumer the real War to quench his thirst has just begun.
