How do you know the answers to my questions?

ChaCha was an American human-guided search engine that provided free, real- time answers to any question, through its website, or by using one of the company's mobile apps. The online subsystem answers questions submitted by users in real time. Answers.com, formerly known as WikiAnswers, is an Internet-based knowledge exchange. Answers in the Form of Questions is 2020 book about Jeopardy! by American author Claire McNear. In November 2006, Answers.com acquired the question and answer site FAQ Farm. TeLQAS (Telecommunication Literature Question Answering System) is an experimental question answering system developed for answering English questions in the telecommunications domain.Mahmoud R. Hejazi, Maryam S. Mirian , Kourosh Neshatian, Azam Jalali, and Bahadorreza Ofoghi, A Telecommunication Literature Question/Answering System Benefits from a Text Categorization Mechanism, International Conference on Information and Knowledge Engineering (IKE2003), July 2003, USA. ==Architecture== TeLQAS includes three main subsystems: an online subsystem, an offline subsystem, and an ontology. Behind the Answers and What Does It Take to Get a Clue?, both of which discuss the show's question selection process. The website is now the primary product of the Answers Corporation. At the start of 2011, the site surpassed 11 million answers. From 2005 to late 2009, the Google search engine definitions feature, in the top-right corner of the site, was linked to Answers.com. When tweeting a question to the site's official Twitter account, @AnswersDotCom, an automatic reply is given with a snippet of the answer and a link to the full answer page on Answers.com. Aside from providing community-generated Q&A; and reference information for published titles, Answers.com began offering videos as part of its VideoAnswers library, in July 2010. The Daily Item (Sunbury, Pennsylvania). and whatever has been typed into the answer bar at the end of 15 seconds is entered as the answer. Most versions are faithful to the American version's format, but some use unique formats of their own; for example, the Czech, Slovak and Italian adaptations eschew the show's trademark "answer and question" format in favor of a simple, standard quiz format, where clues are presented as questions or tasks and the contestants simply answer the questions or perform the tasks indicated, rather than providing responses phrased in the form of a question. GuruNet initially displayed its information through a downloadable software product, today known as 1-Click Answers. Jeopardy! is an American television quiz show created by Merv Griffin, in which contestants are presented with clues in the form of answers, and must phrase their responses in the form of a question. Answers.com and 1-Click Answers software, containing practically all the content that was sold via subscriptions. It was announced in November 2010 that the Answers.com Q&A; wiki community reached its 10 millionth answer. The system offered a chat on the left side of the page where users could chat with the guides and conclude their search. At Jeff Pulver's 140 Characters Conference in New York City in April 2010, Answers.com launched its alpha version of a Twitter-answering service nicknamed 'Hoopoe.' During the online process, TeLQAS processes the question using a natural language processing component that implements part-of-speech tagging and simple syntactic parsing. Jeopardy! is an American media franchise that began with a television quiz show created by Merv Griffin, in which contestants are presented with clues in the form of answers, and must phrase their responses in the form of a question. That same month the company reported having answered over 1.7 billion questions.

How many people are in your family?

A family is defined by the United States Census Bureau for statistical purposes as "a group of two people or more (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption and residing together; all such people (including related subfamily members) are considered as members of one family." Who's in a Family? is a children's book which depicts a variety of non- traditional families, including interracial, single-parent, and families with gay and lesbian partners as parents. In the Family may refer to: * In the Family (1971 film), a 1971 Brazilian film * In the Family (2008 film), a 2008 documentary film * In the Family (2011 film), a 2011 drama film * In the Family (TV series), a 2017 Taiwanese TV drama * In the Family (magazine), a magazine published by Family Magazine, Inc. A family household is more inclusive, consisting of "a household maintained by a householder who is in a family (as defined above), and includes any unrelated people (unrelated subfamily members and/or secondary individuals) who may be residing there."US Census Bureau In 2014 the US Census Bureau began including same-sex marriages in their counts of families and family households. Who's in a Family? contains colorful, pencil illustrations which show a diverse array of animal and human families. == Reception == === Reviews === In an article from the School Library Journal, Martha Topol claims that children's books like Who's in a Family? are intended to educate children on different family structures. == Analysis == Who's in a Family? represents some of the ways that a "family" exists today. I Have Two Mothers and Two Fathers () is a 1968 Yugoslav/Croatian comedy drama film directed by Krešo Golik. The Family is a reality television series that aired on ABC spanning one season in 2003.

Who are you?

Human–machine system is a system in which the functions of a human operator (or a group of operators) and a machine are integrated. In the field of human-computer interaction (HCI) it has been common to think of the human and computer as separate entities. Are You Human? () is a 2018 South Korean television series starring Seo Kang- joon and Gong Seung-yeon. Computer Power and Human Reason: From Judgment to Calculation (1976) by Joseph Weizenbaum displays the author's ambivalence towards computer technology and lays out the case that while artificial intelligence may be possible, we should never allow computers to make important decisions because computers will always lack human qualities such as compassion and wisdom. A human-agent team is a system composed of multiple interacting humans and artificial intelligence systems. thumb|200px|Signal flow path theory of HI Humanistic Intelligence (HI) is defined, in the context of wearable computing, by Marvin Minsky, Ray Kurzweil, and Steve Mann, as follows: > Humanistic Intelligence [HI] is intelligence that arises because of a human > being in the feedback loop of a computational process, where the human and > computer are inextricably intertwined. More generally (beyond only wearable computing), HI describes the creation of intelligence that results from a feedback loop between a computational process and a human being, where the human and computer are inextricably intertwined. Human machine system engineering is different from the more general and well known fields like human–computer interaction and sociotechnical engineering in that it focuses on complex, dynamic control systems that often are partially automated (such as flying an airplane). The artificial intelligence system may be a robotic system, a decision support system, or a virtual agent. The engineering efforts to develop artificial team members include user interface design, but also the design of specialized social artificial intelligence, that enables agents to reason about whether some piece of information is worthy of sharing. == Frameworks == Various frameworks have been developed that support the software engineering effort of building human agent teams, such as KAoS, and SAIL. The book caused disagreement with, and separation from other members of the artificial intelligence research community, a status the author later said he'd come to take pride in. ==See also== * Ethics of artificial intelligence * Critique of technology ==References== ==External links== * Review of Computer Power and Human Reason * Excerpt from Computer Power and Human Reason * Documentary Film on Joseph Weizenbaum, his life, his book and his humor Weizenbaum. HCI emphasizes this separateness by treating the human and computer as different entities that interact. When a wearable computer embodies HI > and becomes so technologically advanced that its intelligence matches our > own biological brain, something much more powerful emerges from this synergy > that gives rise to superhuman intelligence within the single “cyborg” > being."The Society of Intelligent Veillance", by Kurzweil, Minsky, and Mann, > in Proceedings of the IEEE ISTAS 2013, Toronto, Ontario, Canada, pp13-17. Human agent teaming provides an interaction paradigm that differs from traditional approaches such as supervisory control, or user interface design, by enabling the computer to have a certain degree of autonomy. In many ways, We're Not Robots... is a shot at Wind-up. Once the machine is in motion, it is no longer applicable to ask whether the human or machine is in control as they become fully integrated and move as one. Engineering methodologies for human agent teaming include Coactive design == Applications == Human agent teaming is a popular paradigm to approach the interaction between humans and AI technologies in various domains such as defense, healthcare, space, disaster response. == References == Category:Human–computer interaction This reciprocal relationship is at the heart of HI. ==Courses== The principles are taught in a variety of university courses, such as: *CSE40814, Mobile Computing, Fall 2014, University of Notre Dame *ECE516, Intelligent Image Processing, 1998-2022, University of Toronto *ECE1724, "Superhumachines" (Super-human-machine intelligence), University of Toronto *Course: Wearable Computing, VAK: 03-799.01, Time: Mo, 13-15, Place: 1.51 TAB (ECO5), Instructor: Dr. Holger Kenn, Microsoft EMIC, Monday: Tel: 3035, TAB, 1.92, Universität Bremen == See also == * Cybernetics ==References== ==External links== *Hawkeye Project * Category:Human–computer interaction When a wearable computer functions in a successful embodiment of HI, the computer uses the human's mind and body as one of its peripherals, just as the human uses the computer as a peripheral. We're Not Robots... is the fourth and final studio album by Dallas hard rock band Edgewater. Cyborgs, seen in movies such as The Terminator and RoboCop, are fantastical depictions of what human-machine systems may, one day, look like. ==See also== * Ergonomics * Human–computer interaction * Human–machine interface * Future human evolution ==External links== * Technical Committee on Human-Machine Systems of the International Federation of Automatic Control (IFAC) * Center of Human-Machine-Systems, Technische Universität Berlin * Locomotor: A Hybrid Human-Machine System Category:Human–computer interaction Category:Human communication Category:Ergonomics The paradigm draws from various scientific research fields, being strongly inspired by the way humans work together in teams, and constituting a special type of multi-agent system. == Concept == Software agents that behave as artificial team players satisfy the following general requirements: * Observability: agents must make their status, intentions, knowledge observable to others.

"Promoting Generalization and Maintenance of Skills Learned via Natural Language Teaching." Hello My Teacher (; lit. Sentence Completion Tests. Please Teach Me English (; lit. Sentence completion tests usually include some formal coding procedure or manual. Natural language falls in the middle of these procedures.Peterson, P. (2004): "Naturalistic Language Teaching Procedures for Children at Risk for Language Delays." Sentence completion tests: A review of the literature and results of a survey of members of the society for personality assessment. "Naturalistic Language Teaching Procedures for Children at Risk for Language Delays." Sentence completion tests are a class of semi-structured projective techniques. Natural language training is a set of procedures used by behavior analysts that rely heavily on mand training in the natural environment. In the milieu language training program (natural language program), the trainer uses a least-to-most response strategy and waits for the correct response to be produced. Sentence completion tests typically provide respondents with beginnings of sentences, referred to as "stems", and respondents then complete the sentences in ways that are meaningful to them. A sentence completion test form may be relatively short, such as those used to assess responses to advertisements, or much longer, such as those used to assess personality. "In vivo language intervention: Unanticipated general effects." Some sentence completion tests were developed as a way to overcome the problems associated with thematic apperception measures of the same constructs. == Uses == The uses of sentence completion tests include personality analysis, clinical applications, attitude assessment, achievement motivation, and measurement of other constructs. thumb|380px|right|"A text therefore you have, that has now by everyone been received [i.e. accepted, admitted]" (emphasis added): the words from the Elzevier 1633 edition, in Latin, from which the term "Textus Receptus" was derived. Research exists showing that over 90% of the studies report good generalization for natural language training procedures.Peterson, P. (2009). Sentence completion measures have also been incorporated into non-projective applications, such as intelligence tests, language comprehension, and language and cognitive development tests. == Examples == There are many sentence completion tests available for use by researchers. This strategy starts with designing/engineering the environment to increase the chances for language to occur, followed by incidental teaching, time delay, mand training, and modeling the response. The structures of sentence completion tests vary according to the length and relative generality and wording of the sentence stems. A milieu approach to teaching language. Moreover, in recent decades, sentence completion tests have increased in usage, in part because they are easy to develop and easy to administer.

Will this conversation be kept confidential?

Setting up a confidentiality club "requires some degree of cooperation between the parties". In English legal proceedings, a confidentiality club (also known as confidentiality ring) is an agreement occasionally reached by parties to a litigation to reduce the risk of confidential documents being used outside the litigation. Very Confidential is a 1927 American comedy film directed by James Tinling, written by Randall Faye, and starring Madge Bellamy, Patrick Cunning, Mary Duncan, Joseph Cawthorn, Marjorie Beebe and Isabelle Keith. A question is an utterance which serves as a request for information. The Conversation is a network of not-for-profit media outlets publishing news stories and research reports online, with accompanying expert opinion and analysis. *People with access to confidential information may find it to their advantage to make it public, without themselves appearing to be responsible for publishing the information. A news leak is the unsanctioned release of confidential information to news media. On the other hand, there are English dialects (Southern Californian English, New Zealand English) in which rising declaratives (the "uptalk") do not constitute questions.Paul Warren (2017) "The interpretation of prosodic variability in the context of accompanying sociophonetic cues", Laboratory Phonology: Journal of the Association for Laboratory Phonology, 8(1), 11. The responder may reply unambiguously "Yes, I do mind," if they do mind, or "No, I don't mind," if they don't, but a simple "No" or "Yes" answer can lead to confusion, as a single "No" can seem like a "Yes, I do mind" (as in "No, please don't do that"), and a "Yes" can seem like a "No, I don't mind" (as in "Yes, go ahead"). Each regional or national edition of The Conversation is an independent not-for-profit or charity funded by various sources such as partnered universities and university systems, governments and other grant awarding bodies, corporate partners, and reader donations. ==History== ===Launch=== The Conversation was co-founded by Andrew Jaspan and Jack Rejtman, and launched in Australia in March 2011. *People privy to secret information about matters which they consider to be morally wrong or against the public interest — often referred to as "whistleblowers" — may leak the information. At the level of pragmatics, a question is an illocutionary category of speech act which seeks to obtain information from the addressee. Pew Research Center, April 5, 2007 Some leaks are made in the open; for example, politicians who (whether inadvertently or otherwise) disclose classified or confidential information while speaking to the press. Cloaking information in secrecy may make it seem more valuable to journalists, and anonymity reduces the ability of others to cross-check or discredit the information.News Leaks Remain Divisive, But Libby Case has Little Impact. Rhetorical questions, for instance, are interrogative in form but may not be considered bona fide questions, as they are not expected to be answered. Questions may also be used as the basis for a number of indirect speech acts. Confidentiality rings or clubs were described in 2012 as being increasingly common; the case report on Roche Diagnostics Ltd. v Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, a public procurement dispute, also notes that they are "common in cases of this kind", and allow for specific disclosure of documents without causing the "difficulty relating to confidentiality" which would otherwise arise.England and Wales High Court (Technology and Construction Court), Roche Diagnostics Ltd v The Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Trust, EWHC 933 (TCC), paragraphs 9, 10 and 30, delivered 19 April 2013, accessed 31 December 2022 ==References== Category:Information sensitivity Category:Law of the United Kingdom A leaker may be doing the journalist a personal favor (possibly in exchange for future cooperation), or simply wishes to disseminate secret information in order to affect the news. Closed questions may be further subdivided into yes–no questions (such as "Are you hungry?") and alternative questions (such as "Do you want jam or marmalade?"). The term rhetorical question may be colloquially applied to a number of uses of questions where the speaker does not seek or expect an answer (perhaps because the answer is implied or obvious), such as: :Has he lost his mind? A similar ambiguous question in English is "Do you mind if...?" For example, David and Anne Premack wrote: "Though she [Sarah] understood the question, she did not herself ask any questions — unlike the child who asks interminable questions, such as What that?

How much does it cost to answer each question?

The first question was worth $64 for a correct answer, and the next three subsequent answers doubled that amount, up to $512. If both multi- part questions were answered correctly, the contestant ended up with a total of $4,000. If the contestant answered the $1,000 question correctly and elected to play on, a pair of multi-part questions were asked one at a time. Category:Costs Category:Costs The first contestant to answer six questions correctly won $64,000. The first was played for $32,000 and, if the contestant continued, he/she faced one last question. If a contestant answered the $16,000 question correctly but failed to answer either the $32,000 or $64,000 questions correctly, he/she was guaranteed to leave with no less than that amount in cash in season one, and with a car and $8,000 cash in season 2. ==Tournament play== Four contestants won $64,000 during the first season. The latter costs are said to be distributed. A distributed cost is a cost that is spread over many individuals, transactions, or users, rather than being concentrated on few of these. If the contestant answered all four questions correctly, an additional question was asked. If a contestant continued on from $512, the next question was worth $1,000 and play moved across the stage to a podium positioned in front of a television monitor. If the contestant kept going from here, he/she would be brought back on the next program to play for $16,000 with another, more difficult multi-part question. Answering each part of the question correctly doubled his/her winnings to $8,000. The precise form of this cost depends on the industry and is complicated by product returns and multiple sales channels. Generally, distributed costs are easy to ignore because no one person has a great stake in avoiding them. Cost per order, also called cost per purchase, is the cost of internet advertising divided by the number of orders. A per-price search cost customer selects the number of stores to solicit to minimize the total expected cost or the sum of the total search costs and the expected price for the product. [22] Additionally, other local stations aired reruns of The $128,000 Question during the late 1970s and early 1980s. ==References== ==External links== * Internet Movie Database entry on The $128,000 Question Category:First-run syndicated television programs in the United States Category:1970s American game shows Category:1976 American television series debuts Category:1978 American television series endings Category:Television series by CBS Studios Category:English-language television shows Category:Television shows filmed in Toronto Category:Alex Trebek Once again, and from this point forward, answering correctly doubled the contestant's money.

Who is the current president of the United States?

The president-elect of the United States is the candidate who has presumptively won the United States presidential election and is awaiting inauguration to become the president. The president of the United States is the head of state and head of government of the United States, indirectly elected to a four-year term via the Electoral College. This article is a list of United States presidential candidates. George W. Bush's tenure as the 43rd president of the United States began with his first inauguration on January 20, 2001, and ended on January 20, 2009. For a list of current members of the United States Congress, see: * List of current United States senators * List of current members of the United States House of Representatives The last two columns on the right list the home state (at the time of election to the presidency) and primary occupation of each future president, prior to beginning a political career. ==By the numbers== There have been 46 presidencies (including the current president, Joe Biden, whose term began in 2021), and 45 people have served as president. Of the 45 different people who have been or are currently serving as president: *32 presidents had previous military experience; 9 were generals in the US Army. *27 presidents were previously lawyers. *20 presidents previously served as governors; 17 presidents were state governors;Christensen, Tricia (January 5, 2023). There is no explicit indication in the U.S. Constitution as to when that person actually becomes president-elect, although the Twentieth Amendment uses the term "President-elect", thus giving the term "president-elect" constitutional justification. Incumbent presidents who have won re-election for a second term are generally not referred to as presidents-elect, as they are already in office and are not waiting to become president. Trump is the group's sole exception, having never held any public office nor any military position. *5 presidents taught at a university: James A. Garfield, William Howard Taft, Woodrow Wilson, Bill Clinton, and Barack Obama. *2 presidents served as party leaders of the House of Representatives, James A.

Bush, a Republican from Texas and the eldest son of George H. W. Bush, took office following a narrow victory over Democratic incumbent vice president Al Gore in the 2000 presidential election. A 2018 poll of the American Political Science Association's Presidents and Executive Politics section ranked Bush as the 30th greatest president. John Tyler was the first vice president to assume the presidency during a presidential term, and set the precedent that a vice president who does so becomes the fully functioning president with his presidency. He is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms. A sitting vice president who is elected president is referred to as president-elect. ==History of the usage of the term== The use of the term dates back to at least the 1790s, with letters written by multiple of the Founding Fathers of the United States having used the term in relation to the 1796 United States presidential election. With the help of the Bush administration, the presidential transition of Barack Obama was widely regarded as successful, particularly for a transition between presidents of different parties.Smith (2016), pp. 638-639 During his inauguration on January 20, 2009, Obama thanked Bush for his service as president and his support of Obama's transition.Smith (2016), pp. 652-654 ==Evaluation and legacy== A 2009 C-SPAN survey of historians ranked Bush in 36th place among the 42 former presidents. The incumbent president is Joe Biden. Bush was succeeded by Democrat Barack Obama, who won the 2008 presidential election. Additionally, after being president, John Tyler served in the Provisional Confederate Congress and was later elected to the Confederate House of Representatives, but he died before taking his seat. *17 presidents previously served as U.S. senators; only 3 immediately before election as president.

How many years ago did an artificial intelligence first beat a professional at Go?

Those who attended would become the leaders of AI research for decades. The Machine Intelligence Prize is awarded annually by the British Computer Society for progress towards machine intelligence. Overall winner becomes professional. Overall winner becomes professional. Overall winner becomes professional. Overall winner becomes professional. Overall winner becomes professional. A Go professional is a professional player of the game of Go. AI was both more cautious and more successful than it had ever been. ===Milestones and Moore's law=== On 11 May 1997, Deep Blue became the first computer chess-playing system to beat a reigning world chess champion, Garry Kasparov. There are a number of competitions and prizes to promote research in artificial intelligence. ==General machine intelligence== The David E. Rumelhart prize is an annual award for making a "significant contemporary contribution to the theoretical foundations of human cognition". In contrast to Chess and Go, Poker is an imperfect information game. 2017 In May 2017, Google DeepMind's AlphaGo (version: Master) beat Ke Jie, who at the time continuously held the world No. 1 ranking for two years, winning each game in a three-game match during the Future of Go Summit. 2017 A propositional logic boolean satisfiability problem (SAT) solver proves a long- standing mathematical conjecture on Pythagorean triples over the set of integers. In 2023, Microsoft Research tested the GPT-4 large language model with a large variety of tasks, and concluded that "it could reasonably be viewed as an early (yet still incomplete) version of an artificial general intelligence (AGI) system". == See also == * Outline of artificial intelligence ** Progress in artificial intelligence ** Timeline of artificial intelligence ** History of natural language processing * Timeline of machine learning * History of knowledge representation and reasoning * History of artificial neural networks * AI boom ==Notes== ==References== * . The history of artificial intelligence (AI) began in antiquity, with myths, stories and rumors of artificial beings endowed with intelligence or consciousness by master craftsmen. ==Symbolic AI 1956–1974== The programs developed in the years after the Dartmouth Workshop were, to most people, simply "astonishing":Russell and Norvig write "it was astonishing whenever a computer did anything remotely clever." The strength of new professionals (1-dan) was usually comparable to that of the highest ranked amateurs. Still, the reputation of AI, in the business world at least, was less than pristine. However, since the competition to become a professional has increased since the late-1990s (particularly in China and Korea), it has become the case that new 1-dan professionals are much stronger than they usually were in the past. A 7-dan amateur will have won three national events, and will be effectively of lower-ranked pro standard. This time there were 3 draws and 1 win for AIs, and the total score was 5:3. == Elo Rating == The Elo rating system for Gomocup was built in 2016 and calculated with all the historical tournament results ever since. The field of artificial intelligence research was founded as an academic discipline in 1956. ===Cybernetics and early neural networks=== The earliest research into thinking machines was inspired by a confluence of ideas that became prevalent in the late 1930s, 1940s, and early 1950s. And its conversation system allowed it to communicate with a person in Japanese, with an artificial mouth.Robots: From Science Fiction to Technological Revolution, page 130 === Optimism === The first generation of AI researchers made these predictions about their work: * 1958, H.

The U.S. presidential election of 2020 was the 59th quadrennial U.S. presidential election, and was held to fill a term lasting from January 20, 2021 to January 20, 2025. The 2020 United States presidential election was the 59th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020. Republican candidate George W. Bush, the governor of Texas and eldest son of the 41st president, George H. W. Bush, won the election, defeating incumbent Vice President Al Gore. The following is a timeline of major events taking place prior to 2020 United States presidential election, the 59th quadrennial United States presidential election. The Iraqi presidential election of 2022 was held on 13 October 2022 to elect by indirect suffrage the President of Iraq for a four-year term. Biden became the first U.S. presidential candidate to win over 80 million total votes, won the highest share of the popular vote of any challenger to an incumbent president since the 1932 presidential election, and won the popular vote by the largest margin since Barack Obama's victory in the 2008 presidential election.

The 2000 United States presidential election was the 54th quadrennial presidential election, held on Tuesday, November 7, 2000. The Democratic victory in the national popular vote marked the seventh time in eight elections that Democrats won the national popular vote, although Republicans won the majority of the electoral vote (and thus the election) in three of those eight elections. ===Congressional elections=== ====Senate elections==== ↓ 33 12 2 23 30 33 Democrats not up 12 Democrats up 23 Republicans up 30 Republicans not up Control of Senate seats by class after the 2020 elections Class Democratic Independent Republican Next elections 1 21 2 10 2024 2 13 0 20 2026 3 14 0 20 2022 Total 48 2 50 Thirty-five of the 100 seats in the United States Senate were up for election in 2020: all 33 seats of Senate Class II, and seats in Arizona and Georgia that were up for special elections. Key to Biden's victory were his wins in the Democratic- leaning Great Lakes states of Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin, which Trump carried in 2016 and whose combined 46 electoral votes were enough to swing the election to either candidate. McCain won Rhode Island, Vermont, Connecticut, and Massachusetts but dropped out of the race. Based on the winner of the popular vote in each state, the Electoral College cast votes on December 14, and Congress counted the electoral votes and formally declared Biden as the election winner in a joint session on January 6, 2021. Biden won every state that 2016 Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton won in the 2016 presidential election, as well as Arizona, Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, and Nebraska's second congressional district.

What side of the road do you have to drive on?

In Singapore, cars and other vehicles drive on the left side of the road—due to its historical rule by the United Kingdom. The terms right- and left-hand drive refer to the position of the driver and the steering wheel in the vehicle and are, in automobiles, the reverse of the terms right- and left-hand traffic. According to the rules of the road, it should have been on the left side. Side of the road may refer to: * Driving on the left or right * Shoulder (road), a reserved area alongside the verge of a road or motorway * Sidewalk, also known as a pavement or footpath == See also == * "Bright Side of the Road", song by Van Morrison * Wrong Side of the Road, a low-budget film made in South Australia in 1980 The rule also extends to where on the road a vehicle is to be driven, if there is room for more than one vehicle in the one direction, as well as the side on which the vehicle in the rear overtakes the one in the front. The driver's side, the side closer to the centre of the road, is sometimes called the offside, while the passenger side, the side closer to the side of the road, is sometimes called the nearside. As such, vehicles with left-hand drive configurations are required to either be driven with a sign indicating "LEFT-HAND-DRIVE" or towed. RHT is the opposite of this: traffic keeps right, the driver usually sits on the left side of the car (LHD – left hand drive), and roundabouts circulate counterclockwise. Right turns are permissible only when one's lane has the green light signal or green turning arrow (right after a red light) into the opposing traffic lane, travelling in the opposite direction, is clear and favourable to execute a right turn. In LHT, traffic keeps left and cars usually have the steering wheel on the right (RHD – right hand drive) and roundabouts circulate clockwise. As a result, vehicles are catered to right-hand drive. thumb|upright=1.35|Countries by direction of road traffic, 2020 Left-hand traffic (LHT) and right-hand traffic (RHT) are the practices, in bidirectional traffic, of keeping to the left side or to the right side of the road, respectively. Driver location signs are signs placed every along each side of English motorways, and some other major English roads, to provide information that will allow motorists to know their precise location. , roads in England, but not Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, have these signs. To travel in the restricted direction, vehicles must first turn in the permitted direction, then reverse direction in a U-turn, by going around a roundabout or by going left around a block. "Right-in" and "left-in" refer to turns from a main road into an intersection (or a driveway or parcel); "right-out" and "left-out" refer to turns from an intersection (or a driveway or parcel) to a main road. For example, a driver in an LHT country would typically overtake on the right of the vehicle being overtaken. This rule, however, does not apply if a "Left Turn on Red" sign is present at the junction, allowing left-turning motorists to turn left, provided they stop before the stop line and give way to pedestrians and incoming traffic. In specialised cases, the driver will sit on the nearside, or curbside. Drives on the same side as its neighbours. Drives on the same side as its neighbours.

None 18 None 18 18 The legal age for purchase and consumption of alcohol beverages was raised from 16 to 18 in 2014. Unless otherwise noted, if different alcohol categories have different minimum purchase ages, the age listed below is set at the lowest age given (e.g. if the purchase age is 18 for beer and 21 for wine or spirits, as was the case in several states, the age in the table will read as "18", not "21"). Some states even allow persons under 21 years of age drink alcohol in public places, such as in Ohio, Texas, Massachusetts and Louisiana as long as the parent or guardian consents to it and is the one that buys the alcohol and is at least 21 years old. This means that an 18-year-old will be legally allowed to purchase and consume alcohol if he or she will be turning 19 that year. Previously the purchase age was 16 years for low-alcohol beverages such as beer, wine or cider. United States 21 21 18 18 It is unlawful to sell, serve or supply alcohol to any person under the age of 18 years.

Is it legal to possess cannabis?

In the United States, the use and possession of cannabis is illegal under federal law for any purpose by way of the Controlled Substances Act of 1970 (CSA). Legal to possess up to of cannabis or 24 g of concentrates. Cannabis in Canada is legal for both recreational and medicinal purposes. As expected, the use of cannabis for recreational purposes became legal across the country on 17 October 2018, under the Cannabis Act which "creates a legal and regulatory framework for controlling the production, distribution, sale and possession of cannabis in Canada", according to a Government of Canada web site. Cannabis in Georgia is legal in terms of its possession and consumption due to a ruling by the Constitutional Court of Georgia on 30 July 2018. In the United States, the use of cannabis for medical purposes is legal in 38 states, four out of five permanently inhabited U.S. territories, and the District of Columbia, as of March 2023. The recreational use of cannabis has been legalized in 23 states, three U.S. territories, and D.C.

Is it legal to own an assault rifle?

Any assault weapons that are already owned by residents are legal to possess if registered with the state police by January 1, 2024. Existing assault weapons would be grandfathered in – that is, they would be legal to possess, and legal to sell or transfer through a federally licensed gun dealer. Not considered assault weapons but similarly restricted are .50 caliber rifles. ===Maryland=== Maryland law prohibits the possession, sale, transfer, purchase, receipt, or transportation into the state of assault weapons defined as assault pistols and assault long guns. Assault weapons acquired before June 20, 2022 are grandfathered in – that is, they are legal to possess, and to transfer to a family member. === Florida === Assault weapon legislation has been previously proposed in the Legislature. ===Hawaii=== Hawaiian law bans the manufacture, possession, sale or other transfer of what it defines as assault pistols. An assault rifle is a rifle that uses an intermediate cartridge, a detachable magazine, and can switch between semi-automatic/fully automatic fire. Assault weapons legally possessed before the ban went into effect are grandfathered in; that is, it is legal for owners to keep them. Rifles that meet most of these criteria, but not all, are technically not assault rifles, despite frequently being called such. Gun laws in the United States regulate the sale, possession, and use of firearms and ammunition. Assault rifles (not assault weapons) are defined by federal law in the National Firearms Act (NFA) of 1934. In Washington, assault weapons include any semi-automatic centerfire rifle with a detachable magazine, and at least one of these features: * Pistol grip * Thumbhole stock * Folding or telescoping stock * Forward grip * Flash suppressor * Muzzle brake * Threaded barrel * Grenade launcher * Barrel shroud A number of other rifles, shotguns, and pistols are also defined as assault weapons, including a list of specific makes and models. ==Local assault weapons bans== Some local governments have laws that ban or restrict the possession of assault weapons. ===District of Columbia=== A Washington, D.C. law banning the possession of assault weapons was upheld by a federal appeals court in 2011.Duggan, Paul (October 4, 2011). Some rifles listed below such as the AR15 also come in semi-auto models which would not belong under the term "assault rifle". ==Definition== By strict definition, a firearm must have the following characteristics to be considered an assault rifle: * It must be an individual weapon; * It must be capable of selective fire, which means it has the capacity to switch between semi- automatic and burst/fully automatic fire; * It must have an intermediate-power cartridge: more power than a pistol but less than a standard rifle or battle rifle. It is legal to possess weapons from this category providing that the individual is over 18. In tandem with the assault pistol ban is a law that bans the manufacture, possession, sale or other transfer of detachable ammunition magazines with capacities greater than 10 rounds that are capable of use with a pistol. ===Illinois=== On January 10, 2023, Illinois enacted a law making it illegal to manufacture, deliver, sell, or purchase an assault weapon. It defines an "assault weapon" as: * A semi-automatic rifle or pistol able to accept a detachable magazine and that has at least one from a list of characteristics; * A semi-automatic shotgun that has at least one from a list of characteristics; or * A revolving cylinder shotgun. The crossbow is, for legal purposes, often categorized as a firearm by various legal jurisdictions (even though it is not considered as a firearm from a technical perspective), despite the fact that no combustion is required to propel the projectile. Laws passed before July 20, 2013, are grandfathered in, and a number of local governments in the Chicago area have laws that either prohibit or regulate the possession of firearms that they define as assault weapons.McCoppin, Robert (July 21, 2013).

In 1976, one of the first elections in which 18-year-olds were able to vote, 18–24 year-olds made up 18 percent of all eligible voters in America, but only 13 percent of the actual voters – an under-representation of one-third. Ever since 18-year-olds were given the right to vote in 1972, youth have been under represented at the polls as of 2003. Currently, 18 other states and the District of Columbia allow people who are 17 to vote in a primary if they will be 18 by the general election in November. As of the aforementioned date, 12 countries or territories have a minimum voting age of less than 18, with 3 countries or territories at 17-years-old, and 9 countries or territories at 16-years-old. 16-years-old is the lowest minimum age globally for national elections, while the highest is 25-years-old which is only the case in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). However, the Court upheld the provision establishing the voting age as 18 in federal elections. In its conclusions, it recommended that the voting age remain at 18.Age of Electoral Majority , Electoral Commission, 19 April 2004, para. 8.16 In 2005, the House of Commons voted 136-128 (on a free vote) against a Private Member's Bill for a reduction in the voting age to 16 proposed by Liberal Democrat MP Stephen Williams.

On launching the paper in the House of Commons, Prime Minister Gordon Brown said: "Although the voting age has been 18 since 1969, it is right, as part of that debate, to examine, and hear from young people themselves, whether lowering that age would increase participation."HC Deb, 3 July 2007, Vol. 462, c. 819.

This is a list of supermarket chains in North America. ==Canada== ==Greenland== *Brugseni (7 stores) *Pisiffik (11 supermarket stores) *Spar (11 supermarket stores) *Pilersuisoq (64 stores) ==Honduras== * PriceSmart (Wholesale Club) * Walmart ==Mexico== ==United States and territories== ==References== North America Supermarkets Studies suggest that 21 of America's largest cities experience a grocery gap characterized by fewer stores and less square footage per store.Cotterill, R.W. and A.W. Franklin. 1995. Most North American supermarkets are located in suburban strip shopping centers as an anchor store along with other smaller retailers. A supermarket is a self-service shop offering a wide variety of food, beverages and household products, organized into sections. The supermarket typically has places for fresh meat, fresh produce, dairy, deli items, baked goods, and similar foodstuffs. Supermarket shortages have been identified in many American urban neighborhoods, and such gaps in food access have been closely correlated with diet-related diseases such as cancer, obesity, and diabetes. In fact, aside from region and economic health, studies find that proportion of blacks in the population can affect an area's likelihood of having a supermarket. ==Case studies== Many cities and states across the US have recognized the urban supermarket gap problem and have developed plans to address the issue of food access.

November 2002, Vol. 92, No. 11 Supermarkets generally provide food at cheaper prices than the bodegas and pharmacies that service inner-city areas. The most obvious place supermarket layout influences consumers are at the checkout. A study that compared supermarkets, neighborhood groceries, convenience stores, and health food stores in San Diego, California found that supermarkets had twice the average number of 'heart-healthy' foods compared to neighborhood grocery stores and four times the average number of such foods compared to convenience stores.Morland et al. "Neighborhood Characteristics Associated with Location of Food Stores and Food Service Places." Overall, supermarket penetration largely drove down the number of grocery stores in West Oakland from 137 in 1960 to 22 in 1980. A combination of other factors make urban neighborhoods seem less-than-ideal for grocery store executives. ===Market=== Urban stores in low-income neighborhoods generally have less demand for the profitable luxury goods that are more popular in suburban stores. The layout of a supermarket is designed to create a high degree of convenience to the consumer to make the shopping experience pleasant and increase customer spending. This kind of store is larger and has a wider selection than earlier grocery stores, but is smaller and more limited in the range of merchandise than a hypermarket or big-box market. Supermarkets usually offer products at relatively low prices by using their buying power to buy goods from manufacturers at lower prices than smaller stores can. Although big companies spend time giving consumers a pleasant shopping experience, the design of a supermarket is directly connected to the in-store marketing that supermarkets must conduct to get shoppers to spend more money while there.

How long would it take to drive across the country?

The exact times vary: morning drive times typically include 6–10 a.m.; afternoon drive times typically include 3–7 p.m. Drive time is the daypart in which radio broadcasters can reach the most people who listen to car radios while driving, usually to and from work, or on public transportation. In the United States drive time consists of the morning hours when listeners wake up, get ready, and head to work or school, and the afternoon hours when they are heading home and before their evening meal. In October 2013, a team led by Ed Bolian with Dave Black and Dan Huang set a transcontinental record of 28 hours 50 minutes in a modified 2004 Mercedes-Benz CL55 AMG, averaging with top speed of .“Meet “The Guy Who Drove Cross Country in a Record 28 Hours 50 Minutes, jalopnik.com; accessed December 9th, 2019. Jean Batten's 1934 record flight from England to Australia set a record of 14 days, 22 hours and 30 minute for a woman flying the distance between the respective countries solo. Because the contiguous United States, Canada, and Mexico span four to seven time zones, what constitutes drive time on one coast does not broadcast in drive time on the other, which can cause issues for nationally syndicated programs; this is not as much of an issue in morning drive, which usually incorporates a tape delay to air at the same time in all time zones, as it is for afternoon drive. thumb|Travel times by road in Metropolitan France from Paris Transportation in France relies on one of the densest networks in the world with 146 km of road and 6.2 km of rail lines per 100 km2.

Is tap water safe to drink?

Safe drinking water is an environmental health concern. In the United Kingdom, authorities define spending of more than 3% of one's income on water as a hardship. page 51 Referenced 20 October 2008 == Water quality == thumb|Where you can drink tap water around the world thumb|upright|EPA drinking water security poster from 2003 According to the World Health Organization's 2017 report, safe drinking-water is water that "does not represent any significant risk to health over a lifetime of consumption, including different sensitivities that may occur between life stages". In many countries, tap water usually has the quality of drinking water. Typically in developed countries, tap water meets drinking water quality standards, even though only a small proportion is actually consumed or used in food preparation. Tap water is commonly used for drinking, cooking, washing, and toilet flushing. There may also be numerous contaminants in tap water that are not regulated by EPA and yet potentially harmful to human health. In 2002, the Gallup Public Opinion Poll revealed that the possible health risk associated with tap water consumption is one of the main reasons that cause American consumers to prefer bottled water over tap water. Tap water remains susceptible to biological or chemical contamination. Drinking water is water that is used in drink or food preparation; potable water is water that is safe to be used as drinking water. In the case of chemical contamination, residents may be advised to refrain from consuming tap water entirely until the matter is resolved. The difference in water quality between bottled and tap water is debatable. In the United States, some municipalities make an effort to use tap water over bottled water on governmental properties and events. Modern plumbing delivers clean, safe, and potable water to each service point in water distribution system, including taps. Even though the water distribution system is supposed to deliver the treated water to the consumers' taps without water quality degradation, complicated physical, chemical, and biological factors within the system can cause contamination of tap water. The World Health Organization considers access to safe drinking-water a basic human right. These restrict flow between 15 and 50%, aiding water conservation and reducing the burden on both water supply and treatment facilities. ==Comparison to bottled water== === United States === Contaminant levels found in tap water vary between households and plumbing systems. Calling a water supply "tap water" distinguishes it from the other main types of fresh water which may be available; these include water from rainwater-collecting cisterns, water from village pumps or town pumps, water from wells, or water carried from streams, rivers, or lakes (whose potability may vary). ==Background== thumb|Where you can drink tap water around the world Providing tap water to large urban or suburban populations requires a complex and carefully designed system of collection, storage, treatment and distribution, and is commonly the responsibility of a government agency. thumb|A simple indoor water tap Tap water (also known as faucet water, running water, or municipal water) is water supplied through a tap, a water dispenser valve. Tap water, delivered by domestic water systems refers to water piped to homes and delivered to a tap or spigot. "That Tap Water Is Legal but May Be Unhealthy." About 1 to 2 billion people lack safe drinking water.

What are the crime rates in this area?

Crime occurrence and crime rate varies from state to state and also by the type of crime. Key: * Crime Rate is calculated as crime per one lakh (100,000) of population. It is typically expressed in units of incidents per 100,000 individuals per year; thus, a violent crime rate of 300 (per 100,000 inhabitants) in a population of 100,000 would mean 300 incidents of violent crime per year in that entire population, or 0.3% out of the total. The crime rate (crime incidence per 100,000 of population) in India has decreased from 487.8 in 2020 to 445.9 in 2021 according to the National Crime Records Bureau. thumb|upright=2.5| Violent Crime Rate by U.S. state in 2020 (per 100,000 residents) according to the FBI's Uniform Crime Reports This is a list of U.S. states and territories by violent crime rate as of 2020. Among states, Kerala has the highest crime rate, and Nagaland has the lowest crime rate in 2021. Crime hotspots are areas that have high crime intensity.

What was the war with the highest number of casualties in which the U.S. did not participate?

This article contains a list of battles with most United States military fatalities, in terms of American deaths. ==Introduction== This article lists battles and campaigns in which the number of U.S. soldiers killed was higher than 1,000. This article displays the highest percentage of casualties among American units, including those wiped out as an effective force. The total number of military and civilian casualties in World War I was about 40 million: estimates range from around 15 to 22 million deaths and about 23 million wounded military personnel, ranking it among the deadliest conflicts in human history. The campaign that resulted in the most US military deaths was the Battle of Normandy (June 6 to August 25, 1944) in which 29,204 soldiers were killed fighting against Nazi Germany. Casualties include those that occurred in Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Djibouti, Eritrea, Ethiopia, Guantanamo Bay (Cuba), Jordan, Kenya, Kyrgyzstan, Philippines, Seychelles, Sudan, Tajikistan, Turkey, and Yemen. ==See also== * Military history of the United States * World War II casualties ==References== == External links == * American War and Military Operations Casualties: Lists and Statistics Congressional Research Service * Louisiana State University's statistical summary of major American wars * Washington Post database of all U.S. service-member casualties * CNN list of U.S. Casualties in Iraq since 2003. About two-thirds of military deaths in World War I were in battle, unlike the conflicts that took place in the 19th century when the majority of deaths were due to disease. The casualties listed here include 19 to 25 million war- related famine deaths in the USSR, China, Indonesia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and India that are often omitted from other compilations of World War II casualties.John W.

What is the most abundant chemical element in the Milky Way with a double-digit atomic number?

Hydrogen is the most abundant chemical substance in the universe, constituting roughly 75% of all normal matter.However, most of the universe's mass is not in the form of baryons or chemical elements. The chemical element nitrogen is one of the most abundant elements in the universe and can form many compounds. Hydrogen is the most abundant element in the human body in terms of numbers of atoms of the element but the third most abundant element by mass. occurs in the breath of humans due to the metabolic activity of hydrogenase-containing microorganisms in the large intestine and is a natural component of flatus. However, hydrogen is the third most abundant element on the Earth's surface, mostly in the form of chemical compounds such as hydrocarbons and water. Carbon-12 (12C) is the most abundant of the two stable isotopes of carbon (carbon-13 being the other), amounting to 98.93% of element carbon on Earth; its abundance is due to the triple-alpha process by which it is created in stars. This element is found in great abundance in stars and gas giant planets. Indium is the 68th most abundant element in Earth's crust at approximately 50 ppb. Hydrogen is the lightest element. Metal abundances within H regions are typically less than 1%, with the percentage decreasing on average with distance from the Galactic Center. === Galaxies === In November 2022, astronomers, using the Hubble Space Telescope, discovered one of the most metal-poor galaxies known. Antihydrogen is the only type of antimatter atom to have been produced . == Cosmic prevalence and distribution == Hydrogen, as atomic H, is the most abundant chemical element in the universe, making up 75 percent of normal matter by mass and more than 90 percent by number of atoms. Naturally occurring zinc (30Zn) is composed of the 5 stable isotopes 64Zn, 66Zn, 67Zn, 68Zn, and 70Zn with 64Zn being the most abundant (48.6% natural abundance). Thus : X + Y + Z = 1 In most stars, nebulae, H regions, and other astronomical sources, hydrogen and helium are the two dominant elements. Stars and nebulae with relatively high abundances of heavier elements are called "metal-rich" in astrophysical terms, even though many of those elements are nonmetals in chemistry. ==Origin== The presence of heavier elements hails from stellar nucleosynthesis, where the majority of elements heavier than hydrogen and helium in the Universe (metals, hereafter) are formed in the cores of stars as they evolve. In astronomy, metallicity is the abundance of elements present in an object that are heavier than hydrogen and helium. Indium is a chemical element with the symbol In and atomic number 49. Some of the most common forbidden lines used to determine metal abundances in H regions are from oxygen (e.g. [O] = (3727, 7318, 7324) Å, and [O] = (4363, 4959, 5007) Å), nitrogen (e.g. [N] = (5755, 6548, 6584) Å), and sulfur (e.g. [S] = (6717 ,6731) Å and [S] = (6312, 9069, 9531) Å) in the optical spectrum, and the [O] = (52, 88) μm and [N] = 57 μm lines in the infrared spectrum. Indium is one of three known elements (the others being tellurium and rhenium) of which the stable isotope is less abundant in nature than the long-lived primordial radioisotopes. Other, highly unstable nuclei ( to ) have been synthesized in the laboratory but not observed in nature. * is the most common hydrogen isotope, with an abundance of more than 99.98%. Most of the normal currently detectable (i.e. non-dark) matter in the universe is either hydrogen or helium, and astronomers use the word "metals" as a convenient short term for "all elements except hydrogen and helium". Primordial population III stars are estimated to have metallicity less than −6, a millionth of the abundance of iron in the Sun. Indium is rather basic in aqueous solution, showing only slight amphoteric characteristics, and unlike its lighter homologs aluminium and gallium, it is insoluble in aqueous alkaline solutions.Greenwood and Earnshaw, p. 255 ===Isotopes=== Indium has 39 known isotopes, ranging in mass number from 97 to 135. It is a member of group 13 on the periodic table and its properties are mostly intermediate between its vertical neighbours gallium and thallium.

This is a list of languages by total number of speakers. Vietnamese has more than 1.5 million speakers in the United States, where it is the sixth-most spoken language. For example, English has about 450 million native speakers but, depending on the criterion chosen, can be said to have as many as 2 billion speakers. Sometimes speaker populations are exaggerated for political reasons, or speakers of minority languages may be under-reported in favour of a national language. ==Top languages by population== ===Ethnologue (2023, 26th edition)=== The following languages are listed as having at least 50 million first-language speakers in the 2023 edition of Ethnologue.Statistics, in Entries identified by Ethnologue as macrolanguages (such as Arabic, Lahnda, Persian, Malay, Pashto, and Chinese, encompassing all their respective varieties) are not included in this section.

There is no single criterion for how much knowledge is sufficient to be counted as a second-language speaker. In New York City, Standard Mandarin Chinese was spoken as a native language among only ten percent of Chinese speakers as 2002, but was being used as a secondary dialect and replacing Cantonese as their lingua franca.

Who is a famous person from the moon?

According to Chris Kraft, a March 1969 meeting among Slayton, George Low, Bob Gilruth, and Kraft determined that Armstrong would be the first person on the Moon, in part because NASA management saw him as a person who did not have a large ego. Neil Alden Armstrong (August 5, 1930 – August 25, 2012) was an American astronaut and aeronautical engineer who became the first person to walk on the Moon in 1969. On July 20, 1969, Armstrong and Apollo 11 Lunar Module (LM) pilot Buzz Aldrin became the first people to land on the Moon, and the next day they spent two and a half hours outside the Lunar Module Eagle spacecraft while Michael Collins remained in lunar orbit in the Apollo Command Module Columbia. Buzz Aldrin called Armstrong "a true American hero and the best pilot I ever knew", and said he was disappointed that they would not be able to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Moon landing together in 2019. The lunar crater Armstrong, from the Apollo 11 landing site, and asteroid 6469 Armstrong are named in his honor. In attendance were Armstrong's Apollo 11 crewmates, Collins and Aldrin; Gene Cernan, the Apollo 17 mission commander and last man to walk on the Moon; and former senator and astronaut John Glenn, the first American to orbit the Earth. Andrew Chaikin says in A Man on the Moon that Armstrong kept a low profile but was not a recluse, citing his participation in interviews, advertisements for Chrysler, and hosting a cable television series. In a 2010 Space Foundation survey, Armstrong was ranked as the number-one most popular space hero; and in 2013, Flying magazine ranked him number one on its list of 51 Heroes of Aviation. An estimated 530million people viewed the event, 20 percent out of a world population of approximately 3.6billion. thumb|left|Armstrong on the Moon|alt=A grainy picture from behind of a human figure in white space suit and backpack standing in front of the Lunar Module on the surface of the Moon. Armstrong's authorized biography, First Man: The Life of Neil A. Armstrong, was published in 2005. Armstrong became the first American civilian in space. She reportedly felt that her husband would have been opposed to taking legal action. == Legacy == When Pete Conrad of Apollo 12 became the third man to walk on the Moon, on November 19, 1969, his first words referenced Armstrong. James Armstrong (Abt. 1811 - December 21, 1879) was a Texan politician who served in the Texas House and Texas Senate. ==Life== ===Early years=== Armstrong was born in 1811 in Kentucky, USA. President Barack Obama issued a statement memorializing Armstrong as "among the greatest of American heroes—not just of his time, but of all time", and added that Armstrong had carried the aspirations of the United States' citizens and had delivered "a moment of human achievement that will never be forgotten." About 19minutes after Armstrong's first step, Aldrin joined him on the surface, becoming the second human to walk on the Moon. He did not inform the media of the trip, preferring to keep it private. === Public profile === thumb|upright|Armstrong in 1999 Armstrong's family described him as a "reluctant American hero". William Lester Armstrong Jr. (March 16, 1937 – July 5, 2016) was an American businessman, administrator, and politician. Armstrong and his wife attended the memorial service for the victims of the Space Shuttle Columbia disaster in 2003, at the invitation of President George W. Bush. === Business activities === After Armstrong retired from NASA in 1971, he acted as a spokesman for several businesses. He was a member of the Republican Party and served as a United States representative and Senator from Colorado. ==Early life and career== Armstrong was born March 16, 1937, in Fremont, Nebraska, and graduated from Lincoln Northeast High School. Aldrin and Armstrong trained for a variety of scenarios that could develop during a real lunar landing. Armstrong was named the class exemplar for the Class of 2019 at the U.S. Air Force Academy. == See also == * Apollo 11 in popular culture * Cueva de los Tayos * History of aviation * List of spaceflight records * Society of Experimental Test Pilots * The Astronaut Monument == Notes == == References == * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * == Further reading == * * * == External links == * Neil Armstrong Commemorative Website – University of Cincinnati * Neil Armstrong collected news and commentary.

Who is a famous person from the Galapagos Islands?

He is the first known permanent resident of the Galapagos. It was after visiting the Galápagos and studying the endemic wildlife that inhabit the islands that a young Charles Darwin developed his theory of evolution. ==Fauna== right|thumb|Santa Cruz giant tortoise One of the best-known is the Galápagos tortoise, which lives on seven of the islands. Victoriano Lorenzo is considered one of the great heroes of Panamanian history, although his story and motives are sometimes debated by different sectors in his homeland. __NOTOC__ Patrick Watkins was an Irish sailor who was marooned on Floreana, an island of the Galápagos Islands, from 1805 to 1809.Ira Basen, Jane Farrow, Amy Wallace, and David Wallechinsky, "9 ORDINARY MEN WHO PLAYED KING," The Book of Lists: The Original Compendium of Curious Information, Canadian Edition (Toronto: Alfred A. Knopf Canada, 2005), 270. Orlando Garrido may refer to: * Orlando H. Garrido (born 1931), Cuban biologist and tennis player * Orlando Garrido (weightlifter) (1924–2015), Cuban Olympic weightlifter The Galápagos Islands are noted as a home to a large number of endemic species. Cristóbal de Haro was a Castilian financier and merchant from Burgos, famous for having provided funding for the Magellan-Elcano expedition. Charles darwin was the one who discovered over 100 new species of birds on the island. ==Flora== On the larger Galápagos Islands, four ecological zones have been defined: coastal, low or dry, transitional and humid. He is remembered in rural areas, especially Coclé, as an indigenous chief who continued the cause of land rights and representation; evidence thereof includes that his father, Rosa Lorenzo, had been an indigenous leader and that Victoriano spoke indigenous languages. The Galápagos Islands are located off the west coast of South America straddling the equator. The Galápagos are located at the confluence of several currents including the cold Humboldt Current traveling north from South America and the Panama Current traveling south from Central America make the islands cooler and provide the perfect environment for the unique mix of wildlife that inhabits the islands. The Galapagos Islands are highly susceptible to the introduction of foreign species. Many indigenous people in Panama understand his assassination as the defeat of their autonomous land rights and access to representation in the Panamanian state structure. == Legacy == Lorenzo became a national legend in Panama. To Chang Marín, Lorenzo was the first true Panamanian whose life story and identity parallel that of Panama as a nation. == References == ==Further reading== * * * * Carles, Rubén Darío. Invasive Species, Galapagos Conservancy, 2017. The islands are credited with being Ecuador’s most prized feature because they are well-known for their intense biodiversity. As a financier and representative of the Fuggers he provided a quarter of the financial backing to Magellan's 1519 voyage, which failed to conquer the Spice Islands but resulted in the first circumnavigation around the world by Juan Sebastián Elcano. Transylvanus pointed out that Cristóbal de Haro had assisted Magellan and Faleiro considerably in presenting their proposals before the Spanish royal counselors.Tim Joyner, Magellan (Camden, Maine: International Marine, 1992), 82. Thus the giant Galápagos tortoise became the largest land animal on the islands, and due to the lack of natural predators, the wildlife in the Galápagos is known for being extremely tame without instinctual fear. A few species of endemic Galapagos mice (or rice rats) - the Santiago Galapagos mouse and the Fernandina Galapagos mouse - have been recently rediscovered. There are many organizations that dedicate themselves to help keep invasive species out of the Galapagos and help eradicate them as well like the Charles Darwin Foundation who helped create the Galapagos Inspection and Quarantine System (SICGAL) that checks the luggage brought into the Galapagos Islands for animals and plants that could be released onto the island. Carlos Francisco Chang Marín, the Panamanian poet and novelist alluded to Lorenzo in almost all his works in an effort to place him as a founding father of Panama.

For example, such opposite flavours as sweetness and saltiness tend to go well together, as in kettle corn and nuts. ===Food preparation=== While many foods can be eaten raw, many also undergo some form of preparation for reasons of safety, palatability, texture, or flavour. The listing of items included as food includes any substance intended to be, or reasonably expected to be, ingested by humans. As sugar is vital for energy and survival, the taste of sugar is pleasant. Certain tastes are more enjoyable than others, for evolutionary purposes. ===Presentation=== Aesthetically pleasing and eye-appealing food presentations can encourage people to consume food. Ice cream is a frozen dessert usually made from dairy products, such as milk and cream, and often combined with fruits or other ingredients and flavors.

What is unequivocally the best form of government?

Of the many claimants to socialism only one has a valid title—that socialism which views democracy as valuable per se, which stands for democracy unequivocally, and which continually modifies socialist ideas and programs in the light of democratic experience. Good government is a normative description of how government is supposed to be constituted. Socialist democracy is a political system that aligns with principles of both socialism and democracy. It has been frequently employed by various political thinkers, ideologues and politicians. == Thomas Jefferson and good government == Thomas Jefferson often referred to the term good government. A kakistocracy (, ) is a government run by the worst, least qualified, or most unscrupulous citizens. The Leader of the Opposition is a title traditionally held by the leader of the largest political party not in government, typical in countries utilizing the parliamentary system form of government. A revolutionary republic is a form of government whose main tenets are popular sovereignty, rule of law, and representative democracy. Regime type is important for illiberal democracies. According to jurist András Sajó, illiberal democracy should be counted as a type of democracy because it is "democratic in a plebiscitarian sense", while political scientist Ulrich Wagrandl argues that "illiberal democracy is actually more true to democracy’s roots". == Good government as a political slogan == The political slogan "Good Government" was used in English-speaking countries in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. An illiberal democracy describes a governing system that hides its "nondemocratic practices behind formally democratic institutions and procedures". Category:Political systems Category:1997 introductions Category:Types of democracy And economic democracy is nothing but socialism." Is ours a 'government of the people by the people for the people,' or a Kakistocracy rather, for the benefit of knaves at the cost of fools?" Assessing the Quality of Democracy, Johns Hopkins University Press, 2005, p. xli A 2008 article by Rocha Menocal, Fritz and Rakner describes the emergence of illiberal democracies and discusses some of their shared characteristics.Rocha Menocal, A., Fritz, V. & Rakner, L. "Hybrid regimes and the challenges of deepening and sustaining democracy in developing countries ", South African Journal of International Affairs, 2008, 15(1), pp. 29–40 Menocal, Fritz, and Rakner try to draw the similarity between illiberal democracies and hybrid regimes. One example of the regime durability provided by illiberal democracy is illustrated in Mubarak's Egyptian regime. ’Assessing the Quality of Democracy‘, Journal of Democracy, 13.2, pp. 51–65 According to Wojciech Sadurski, "illiberal democracy is largely an oxymoron" in Poland, because "[b]y dismantling various checks and balances, and the many democratic institutions related to elections and judicial review, the ruling party greatly weakens the democratic character of the state". There is a lack of consensus among experts about the exact definition of illiberal democracy or whether it even exists. It includes ideologies such as council communism, democratic socialism, and soviet democracy, as well as Marxist democracy like the dictatorship of the proletariat. Other theorists say that classifying illiberal democracy as democratic is overly sympathetic to the illiberal regimes and therefore prefer terms such as electoral authoritarianism, competitive authoritarianism, or soft authoritarianism. == Origin and description == The term and concept of illiberal democracy derive from the 1995-book Towards Illiberal Democracy in Pacific Asia by Daniel A. Bell, David Brown, Kanishka Jayasuriya, and David Martin Jones. According to a study by George Washington University political scientist Michael K. Miller, multiparty autocratic elections predict significantly better outcomes on health, education, gender equality, and basic freedoms relative to non- electoral autocracy. One proposed method of determining whether a regime is an illiberal democracy is to determine whether "it has regular, free, fair, and competitive elections to fill the principal positions of power in the country, but it does not qualify as Free in Freedom House's annual ratings of civil liberties and political rights."Diamond, Larry & Morlino Leonardo.

Who objectively makes the best burgers?

Five Guys has been rated one of the most talked-about burger brands online. In 2011, Five Guys was ranked first in "Fast Food - Large Chains" and "Best Burger" in Zagat's annual Fast Food Survey. "Best Burger" is the fifth episode of the fifth season of the animated comedy series Bob's Burgers and the overall 72nd episode. As Five Guys continues to expand into the US West Coast, comparisons have been made with In-N-Out Burger, another generally similar fast food chain. In 2016, Five Guys was ranked first in the burger, steak, chicken and grill category of a Market Force UK survey. ==References== ==External links== * Five Guys US * Five Guys UK Category:Restaurants established in 1986 Category:Fast- food hamburger restaurants Category:Fast-food chains of the United States Category:Fast-food franchises Category:Restaurants in Virginia Category:1986 establishments in Virginia Category:Fast casual restaurants Category:Restaurant chains in the United States Category:Companies based in Fairfax County, Virginia McDonaldization developed the notion that quantity equals quality, and that a large amount of product delivered to the customer in a short amount of time is the same as a high quality product. Five Guys Enterprises, LLC (doing business as Five Guys Burgers and Fries and Five Guys) is an American fast food chain focused on hamburgers, hot dogs, and french fries. Five Guys has received numerous awards in D.C. area publications, including "Number 1 Burger" by Washingtonian Magazine for seven years. The newspaper still conceded that by pricing its products higher, offering bigger burgers and building larger dining rooms, Five Guys could capitalize on the recent trend of mid-level places that offer more expensive products than fast food but cheaper than fancy restaurants. McDonaldization is the process of a society adopting the characteristics of a fast-food restaurant. The Big N’ Tasty is a hamburger sold by the international fast food chain McDonald's. America's Best may refer to: * America's Best Franchising, operator of America's Best Inn and other lodging brands * Vantage Hospitality, operator of America's Best Value Inn * America's Best Comics * America's Best Contacts & Eyeglasses * America's Best Dance Crew Efficiency in McDonaldization means that every aspect of the organization is geared toward the minimization of time. Chief Justice Burger delivered the opinion of the Court, in which all other members joined. His burger is excellently reviewed by the judges, but Skip's burger ultimately wins. Bob asks Gene if he wants to help him fire up the grill, but Gene decides to take the day off and finally enjoy the Wonder Wharf food spectacles. ==Reception== Alasdair Wilkins of The A.V. Club gave the episode a B+, stating that the show could face difficulty creating a good story for Gene, and managed to do so quite well: "Bob’s Burgers has long struggled to know quite what to do with Gene as a character—he’s an asset as a ready source of one-liners and farts, but that isn’t quite the same thing as emotional depth—but “Best Burger” unexpectedly pulls out one hell of a story for the Belcher boy, as he faces up to just how much of a colossal screw-up he is and strives to get things right, just this once...Gene and Bob’s story strikes just the right balance between being funny and being poignant; about the worst you can say about it is that 'Best Burger' takes a little while to wind its way to that specific story." Robert Ham of Paste gave the episode a 9.1 out of 10, praising the episode delivering a true victory for The Belchers, compared to the half-victories they usually encounter: "Bob doesn’t win the titular contest for Best Burger, but what does come out of his efforts is a little bit of personal growth and a way to express his affection for his strange and easily distracted son Gene." It was advertised as a design to keep the hot side hot and the cold side cold. ==History== thumb|Depiction of the McDLT packaging from its patent application The Big N' Tasty is the latest in a series of burgers that were designed to compete against the Whopper from Burger King. The diminished quality of these products can only be disguised by extensive advertising which constantly repackages them to look new.John Scott and Gordon Marshall (eds.), "McDonaldization". In 2012, Market Force Information, Inc. polled 7,600 fast-food consumers, and Five Guys ranked No. 1 in food quality and taste, service, cleanliness, and atmosphere. It is designed to compete with the Whopper sandwich. The ubiquity of McDonald's and the uniformity of its practices is a contributing factor to globalization. ==Examples== Junk food news, defined here as inoffensive and trivial news served up in palatable portions, is an example of McDonaldization.

How long do diamonds last?

Diamonds have been known in India for at least 3,000 years but most likely 6,000 years. Diamonds are Forever was number one in the United States for seven consecutive weeks and went on to gross $116 million worldwide, of which $43 million was from the United States and Canada. Diamonds Are Forever may refer to: * Diamonds Are Forever (novel), a 1956 James Bond novel by Ian Fleming ** Diamonds Are Forever (film), a 1971 film adapted from the novel *** Diamonds Are Forever (soundtrack), a soundtrack album or its title song * The Remix Album...Diamonds Are Forever, a 2000 remix album by Shirley Bassey * Diamonds Are Forever, a 1999 album by Funky Diamonds * Diamonds Are Forever, a 2006 album by Legs Diamond * Diamonds Are Forever, a 2011 mixtape by Trina * "Diamonds Are Forever", a song by Franck Pourcel from Strictly Breaks Volume 11 * "Diamonds Are Forever", a song from the musical Diamonds * "Diamonds Are Forever", a song by Sabrina Carpenter from Singular: Act I ==See also== * A Diamond is Forever, an advertising slogan of De Beers * "Diamonds from Sierra Leone", a 2005 song by Kanye West, which samples the Shirley Bassey recording of "Diamonds Are Forever" * "Diamonds Aren't Forever", a song by Bring Me the Horizon from Suicide Season Yet Diamonds Are Forever doesn't carry the same quality or flair as its many predecessors. Retrieved 17 December 2021 – via Newspapers.com. Peter Schjeldahl of The New York Times described Diamonds Are Forever as "a pretty good movienot great art, but fantastic packaging. "Diamonds Are Forever". The website's consensus states, "Diamonds are Forever is a largely derivative affair, but it's still pretty entertaining nonetheless, thanks to great stunts, witty dialogue, and the presence of Sean Connery." As new diamonds are discovered, the uniqueness of existing ones may diminish and there is no agreed-upon measure of a large or a high-quality diamond, so strict inclusion criteria for notable diamonds are not attainable. ==Diamond== A diamond is a solid form of the element carbon with its atoms arranged in a crystal structure called diamond cubic. Lesotho Promise 603 75 colorless Is the 15th-largest diamond, the tenth-largest white diamond, and the largest diamond to be found in 13 years. Diamonds Are Forever was a commercial success and received positive reviews, though retrospective reviews were critical of its camp tone. According to Danny Peary, Diamonds are Forever is "one of the most forgettable movies of the entire Bond series" and that "until Blofeld's reappearance we must watch what is no better than a mundane diamond- smuggling melodrama, without the spectacle we associate with James Bond: the Las Vegas setting isn't exotic enough, there's little humour, assassins Mr. Kidd and Mr. Wint are similar to characters you'd find on The Avengers, but not nearly as amusing – and the trouble Bond gets into, even Maxwell Smart could escape." Diamonds become famous typically for some combination of their size, color and quality. The Centenary Diamond was unveiled in final form in May 1991. == Discovery == The Centenary Diamond was discovered in the Premier Mine on 17 July 1986 using their X-ray imaging system. Diamonds Are Forever is a 1971 spy film, the seventh in the James Bond series produced by Eon Productions. Diamonds have been treasured as gemstones since their use as religious icons in ancient India. At room temperature and pressure, another solid form of carbon known as graphite is the chemically stable form, but diamond almost never converts to it. The ages of these felsic rocks are generally between 2.5 and 3.8 billion years. The Centenary Diamond is rated in color as grade D color by the Gemological Institute of America, which is the highest grade of colourless diamond and is internally and externally flawless. This is the first and only such diamond in the entire history of world diamond mining until October 2019. The oldest dated rocks formed on Earth, as an aggregate of minerals that have not been subsequently broken down by erosion or melted, are more than 4 billion years old, formed during the Hadean Eon of Earth's geological history. Diamonds may also have high valuations or sale prices, or go on to have a noteworthy ownership history, but this will tend to occur for diamonds that had some outstanding characteristic to begin with. Diamonds occur naturally in many different colors, so the largest diamond of a particular color may not be large in absolute terms, but it may still be considered very desirable.

Diamonds are indestructible

Diamonds last between 1 and 4 billion years

Diamonds are forever

Diamonds last for 100 years

A prototype of the Roadster was shown in a surprise moment at the end of the Tesla Semi event on November 16, 2017, with an announced availability in the year 2020 at the starting price of $200,000. Musk said in a tweet that higher-performance trim levels will be available beyond the base specifications, including a SpaceX package that would "include ~10 small rocket cold air thrusters arranged seamlessly around the car" which would supposedly allow for dramatic improvements in "acceleration, top speed, braking & cornering" such as a claimed 1.1 second 0–60 mph (0–97 km/h) time. ==Overview== === History === In 2011, at the end of the production run of the original Tesla Roadster, Elon Musk suggested that a new version of the Roadster, without the Lotus chassis, would return to production by 2014. At the time, it was also referred to as the Tesla Model R. It was designed by Franz von Holzhausen, Tesla's chief designer who has also been responsible for most earlier vehicles made by Tesla Motors. "I don't think the car you saw last week had the full 200 kilowatt hours in it. Tesla stated that the torque at wheels was . If the production Roadster achieves these performance numbers, it will outperform the supercars of 2019 and would have set new production car records, none of which had done better than in 2.0 seconds or 8.88 seconds in the 1/4 mile, until the release of the Rimac Nevera in August 2021. Additional information followed after the teaser, such as the various world-record speeds Tesla said it will break. Tesla CEO Elon Musk has said that the Roadster should ship in 2024.

The Best Damn Sports Show Period was an American sports television show that aired on Fox Sports Net and Comcast SportsNet. Several weeks into the 2000 season, ESPN's Chris Berman, preparing to cover highlights of a 57–31 win over the San Diego Chargers that year, told viewers, "Forget Ringling Brothers; the Rams are the Greatest Show on Earth" — a reference to the circus' longtime marketing slogan. The film played for 11 weeks at New York's Radio City Music Hall, a record duration that it shared with Random Harvest in 1942 and that would last until at least the 1960s. ==Critical reception== ===Contemporary=== On the film's release, Bosley Crowther in The New York Times called The Greatest Show on Earth a "lusty triumph of circus showmanship and movie skill" and a "piece of entertainment that will delight movie audiences for years":De Mille Puts Greatest Show on Earth on Film for All to See, a January 11, 1952 review from The New York Times :Sprawling across a mammoth canvas, crammed with the real-life acts and thrills, as well as the vast backstage minutiae, that make the circus the glamorous thing it is and glittering in marvelous Technicolor—truly marvelous color, we repeat—this huge motion picture of the big-top is the dandiest ever put upon the screen. The Greatest is a television series broadcast on VH1. Since the Vikings also had a high-flying offensive attack (and, like the Rams, a poor defense), Berman announced, "The Greatest Show on Turf meet the Ringling Brothers and Barnum & Bailey!" The Greatest Show on Earth is a 1952 American drama film produced and directed by Cecil B. DeMille, shot in Technicolor and released by Paramount Pictures. "The Greatest Show on Turf" was a nickname for the high flying offense of the St. Louis Rams during the 1999, 2000, and 2001 National Football League (NFL) seasons. The show counted down its Top 100 moments of Best Damn history. March 1, 2006 was officially The Best Damn Sports Show Period's 1,000th show. However, it is also possible that The Greatest Show On Earth won Best Picture because it was seen as a last chance for DeMille to win a competitive Oscar. MSNBC's Erik Lundegaard called Crash the "worst Best Picture winner since the 'dull, bloated' film The Greatest Show on Earth."Oscar misfire: Crash and burn from a March 2006 MSNBC article In 2013, the selection of The Greatest Show on Earth rather than High Noon was listed by Time among the 10 most controversial Best Picture races.

However, the new show on FSN would focus on not just football, but every sport, as well as the entertainment world. The Greatest Show on Turf was anchored by running back Marshall Faulk, NFL Offensive Player of the Year for three consecutive years from 1999 through 2001, quarterback Kurt Warner, 2-time NFL MVP, the receiving duo of Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt, as well as Az-Zahir Hakim and veteran Ricky Proehl. The Greatest Show on Earth was the first film that director Steven Spielberg saw, and he credits it as one of the major inspirations that led him into a film career.Interview with Steven Spielberg, Mark Kermode, BBC Culture Show, broadcast 2006-11-04 He identifies the film's train crash scene as a major influence, reflected in the science-fiction film Super 8 (2011), which he produced.

When the Rams finally lost in Week 8 to the Chiefs, a special introductory screen for the Rams as "The Greatest Show on Turf" was shown as a parody of "The Greatest Show on Earth" logo before the highlights of the upset were shown. ===Retrospective=== In 1977, Joe Walders wrote in TV Guide that a film's box-office success does not necessarily translate to continued popularity on television, and cited The Greatest Show on Earth as a primary example: "[It] was not only the top moneymaker of the year, but it also won the Academy Award for Best Picture. Some reviewers consider The Greatest Show on Earth among the weakest selections for the Academy Award for Best Picture, as it defeated highly rated films such as High Noon, The Quiet Man, Ivanhoe and the unnominated Singin' in the Rain. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a rating of 49% from 43 reviews with the consensus: "The Greatest Show on Earth is melodramatic, short on plot, excessively lengthy and bogged down with cliches, but not without a certain innocent charm."

What does drinking Red Bull give you?

Vodka Red Bull (alternatively Red Bull Vodka) is a caffeinated alcoholic drink, a highball cocktail consisting of the energy drink Red Bull and varying amounts of vodka. The Red Bull dominates so that the flavour of the alcohol is not too strong. ==Health risks== Caffeinated alcoholic energy drinks can be hazardous as caffeine can mask the influence of alcohol and may lead a person to misinterpret their actual level of intoxication. The drink contains sugar and caramel color and lacks the phosphoric acid and high fructose corn syrup used in some other colas. == Availability and promotions == In 2008, the year of its release, Red Bull Simply Cola was available in Austria, Azerbaijan, Czech Republic, Croatia, Egypt, Switzerland, Netherlands, Spain, Poland, Germany, Bulgaria, Belgium, Ireland, Italy, India, Thailand, Romania, Hungary, Russia, Slovakia, New Zealand, Mexico, United Kingdom and the United States. The cola contains significantly less caffeine than Red Bull's eponymous energy drink (80 mg per 250 mL). Red Bull Simply Cola (previously branded as Red Bull Cola) is a beverage from Red Bull GmbH, makers of the energy drink Red Bull. The cola, which contains natural flavouring and caffeine, was introduced in 2008 in several countries. == Ingredients == thumb|Red Bull Cola with glass bottles Red Bull Simply Cola is flavored with plant extracts, including galangal, vanilla, mustard seed, lime, kola nut, cocoa, liquorice, cinnamon, lemon, ginger, coca leaf, orange, corn mint, pine, cardamom, mace, clove, and lemon juice concentrate.

Red ale can refer to two styles of beer which are some shade of red or light brown in hue: * Irish red ale * Flanders red ale, from Belgium Red Rock is a brand of ginger ale and cola. In the United States, "Irish red" is sometimes used describe a darker amber ale or a "red" beer that is a lager with caramel colouring. Red Bull has been used as a general mixer in alcoholic beverages in Europe since the 1980s, though not specifically with vodka. Red Dog is a beer produced by the Miller Brewing Company and is part of their Plank Road Brewery Family. The ratio of Red Bull to vodka varies but is usually ¾ of Red Bull and ¼ of vodka. Irish red ale (), also known as red ale or Irish ale, is a style of pale ale that is brewed using a moderate amount of kilned malts and roasted barley, giving the beer its red colour. Due to its sweet taste and relatively low alcohol content, Irish red ales are very popular with American craft brewers. Red Bull Simply Cola is packaged in cans. Lemonade was eventually dropped from the recipe as Reed felt that for more solid branding and popularity, asking for a 'Vodka Red Bull & lemonade' was too long winded. ==See also== * Ban on caffeinated alcoholic drinks in the United States * List of cocktails * Four Loko ==References== Category:Caffeinated alcoholic drinks Category:Cocktails with vodka Category:Red Bull However, these beers are not Irish red ales. ==History== Irish red ale originated in the city of Kilkenny in the early 1700s.

Irish red ales have a dry finish and a low to moderate bitterness of 15-30 IBU. In 2019, Red Bull released its Organics line, which includes a new version of Red Bull Simply Cola. Killian's Irish Red, which is actually an amber lager, popularised the name "Irish red ale" to such an extent that the term was imported back into Ireland by many craft brewers as a classification.

How were the sun and the stars created?

Many stars, including the Sun, were formed within this collapsing cloud. Because only massive, short-lived stars produce supernovae, the Sun must have formed in a large star-forming region that produced massive stars, possibly similar to the Orion Nebula. Star formation is the process by which dense regions within molecular clouds in The "medium" is present further soon.-->interstellar space, sometimes referred to as "stellar nurseries" or "star-forming regions", collapse and form stars. They hypothesized that a filament was thrown out by a passing proto-star and was captured by the Sun, resulting in the formation of planets. Chronology of the formation and evolution of the Solar System Phase Time since formation of the Sun Time from present (approximate) Event Pre-Solar System Billions of years before the formation of the Solar System Over 4.6 billion years ago (bya) Previous generations of stars live and die, injecting heavy elements into the interstellar medium out of which the Solar System formed. ~ 50 million years before formation of the Solar System 4.6 bya If the Solar System formed in an Orion Nebula-like star-forming region, the most massive stars are formed, live their lives, die, and explode in supernova. See §6.4. ===Formation of the planets=== The various planets are thought to have formed from the solar nebula, the disc- shaped cloud of gas and dust left over from the Sun's formation. Meanwhile, hypotheses explaining the evolution of the Sun originated in the nineteenth century, especially as scientists began to understand how stars in general functioned. Iwan P. Williams and Alan William Cremin split the models between two categories: those that regard the origin and formation of the planets as being essentially related to the Sun, with the two formation processes taking place concurrently or consecutively, and those that regard the formation of the planets as being independent of the formation process of the Sun, the planets forming after the Sun becomes a normal star. In 1963, William McCrea divided them into another two groups: those that relate the formation of the planets to the formation of the Sun and those where it is independent of the formation of the Sun, where the planets form after the Sun becomes a normal star. Agglomerations of floccules, which are presumed to compose the supersonic turbulence assumed to occur in the interstellar material from which stars are born, formed the Sun and protoplanets, the latter splitting to form planets. The formation of the Solar System began about 4.6 billion years ago with the gravitational collapse of a small part of a giant molecular cloud. As a branch of astronomy, star formation includes the study of the interstellar medium (ISM) and giant molecular clouds (GMC) as precursors to the star formation process, and the study of protostars and young stellar objects as its immediate products. A shock wave from a supernova may have triggered the formation of the Sun by creating relatively dense regions within the cloud, causing these regions to collapse. By the mid-18th century, scientists surmised that the source of the Sun's light was incandescence, rather than combustion. ==Evidence and research== Although the Sun is a star, its photosphere has a low enough temperature of , and therefore molecules can form. Impurities in the A-cloud formed Mars and the Moon (later captured by Earth), impurities in the B-cloud collapsed to form the outer planets, the C-cloud condensed into Mercury, Venus, Earth, the asteroid belt, moons of Jupiter, and Saturn's rings, while Pluto, Triton, the outer satellites of Saturn, the moons of Uranus, the Kuiper Belt, and the Oort cloud formed from the D-cloud. ====Interstellar cloud hypothesis==== In 1943, Soviet astronomer Otto Schmidt proposed that the Sun, in its present form, passed through a dense interstellar cloud and emerged enveloped in a cloud of dust and gas, from which the planets eventually formed. One of these collapsing fragments (known as the presolar nebula) formed what became the Solar System. Present thinking is that massive stars may therefore be able to form by a mechanism similar to that by which low mass stars form. For stars with masses higher than about , however, the mechanism of star formation is not well understood. To Hoyle, this indicated that they must have originated within the stars themselves. The later evolution of stars is studied in stellar evolution. Another theory of massive star formation suggests that massive stars may form by the coalescence of two or more stars of lower mass. ==See also== * * * * * * ==References== Category:Stellar astronomy Category:Concepts in astronomy In triggered star formation, one of several events might occur to compress a molecular cloud and initiate its gravitational collapse.

Can someone be born of a virgin?

A virgin birth can refer to: *Parthenogenesis, birth without fertilization *Miraculous births, virgin birth in mythology and religion **Virgin birth of Jesus **Trinitarian doctrine of Jesus' nature *Artificial insemination *Russell case (1920s) The virgin birth of Jesus is the Christian doctrine that Jesus was conceived by his mother, Mary, through the power of the Holy Spirit and without sexual intercourse. The earliest Christian writings, the Pauline epistles, do not contain any mention of a virgin birth and assume Jesus's full humanity, stating that he was "born of a woman" like any other human being and "born under the law" like any Jew. Virgin Birth? The virgin birth was subsequently accepted by Christians as the proof of the divinity of Jesus, but its rebuttal during and after the 18th century European Enlightenment led some to redefine it as mythical, while others reaffirmed it in dogmatic terms. Then the angel departed from her. ==Texts== In the entire Christian corpus, the virgin birth is found only in the Gospel of Matthew and the Gospel of Luke. According to Ambrose, Jovinian maintained that Mary had conceived as a virgin, but she had not given birth as a virgin. The Real Story of Mary and Her Son Jesus, argued that early Christians had developed the idea of a virgin birth as a later "reaction to the report, meant as a slander but historically correct, that Jesus was conceived or born outside wedlock. ... In the 380s and 390s the monk Jovinian denied Mary's virginity in partu (virgin during childbirth), writing that if Jesus did not undergo a normal human birth, then his body was something other than a truly human one. Denial of the virgin birth of Jesus is found among various groups and individuals throughout the history of Christianity. The virgin birth of Jesus is found in the Gospel of Matthew and possibly in Luke, but it seems to have little theological importance before the middle of the 2nd century. The perpetual virginity of Mary is a Christian doctrine that Mary, the mother of Jesus, was a virgin "before, during and after" the birth of Christ. A born-again virgin (also known as a secondary), is a person who, after having engaged in sexual intercourse, makes some type of commitment not to be sexually active again until marriage. ==19th–21st centuries== Biblical scholars, churchmen and theologians who have notably rejected the virgin birth include: *Albrecht Ritschl, nineteenth-century German Lutheran Theologian, considered one of the fathers of Liberal Protestantism. The Quran asserts the virgin birth of Jesus, deriving its account from the 2nd century AD Protoevangelium of James, but denies the Trinitarian implications of the gospel story (Jesus is a messenger of God but also a human being and not the Second Person of the Christian Trinity). ==New Testament narratives: Matthew and Luke== ===Matthew 1:18-27=== > 18: Now the birth of Jesus the Messiah took place in this way. For Ambrose, both the physical birth of Jesus by Mary and the baptismal birthing of Christians by the church had to be totally virginal, even in partu, in order to cancel the stain of original sin, of which the pains of labor are the physical sign. The 2nd century gnostic theologian Marcion likewise rejected the virgin birth, but regarded Jesus as descended fully formed from heaven and having only the appearance of humanity. *James A. Pike, Episcopal bishop of California (1958–1966), who first declared his doubt about the Virgin Birth in the December 21, 1960 issue of the journal Christian Century.Robertson, David M. (2004). The reformers noted that while scripture records the virgin birth, it makes no mention of Mary's perpetual virginity following the birth of Christ. Nevertheless, "plausible sources that tell of virgin birth in areas convincingly close to the gospels' own probable origins have proven extremely hard to demonstrate". Luke's virgin birth story is a standard plot from the Jewish scriptures, as for example in the annunciation scenes for Isaac and for Samson, in which an angel appears and causes apprehension, the angel gives reassurance and announces the coming birth, the mother raises an objection, and the angel gives a sign. The same claim is made by the medieval Jewish text Toledot Yeshu. ==Reformation== The turmoil of the Reformation gave rise to many radical groups and individuals, some of whom were accused of denying, or actually did deny, the virgin birth.

How many days did it take to create the world?

The Bible begins with the Book of Genesis, in which God creates the Earth, the rest of the Universe, and the Earth's plants and animals, including the first humans, in six days. Since Zoroaster was born himself at the end of the 9th millennium (just before the 9,000th year), the date of creation can be calculated by counting back 8,900–9,000 years. thumb|right|250px|The six days of creation The primeval history is the name given by biblical scholars to the first eleven chapters of the Book of Genesis in the Hebrew Bible. Gap creationism (also known as ruin-restoration creationism, restoration creationism, or "the Gap Theory") is a form of old Earth creationism that posits that the six-yom creation period, as described in the Book of Genesis, involved six literal 24-hour days (light being "day" and dark "night" as God specified), but that there was a gap of time between two distinct creations in the first and the second verses of Genesis, which the theory states explains many scientific observations, including the age of the Earth.Evolution vs. Creationism: An Introduction, Eugenie Scott, pp61-62The Scientific Case Against Scientific Creationism, Jon P. Alston, p24 It differs from day-age creationism, which posits that the 'days' of creation were much longer periods (of thousands or millions of years), and from young Earth creationism, which although it agrees concerning the six literal 24-hour days of creation, does not posit any gap of time. == History == From 1814, Thomas Chalmers popularized gap creationism; he attributed the concept to the 17th-century Dutch Arminian theologian Simon Episcopius. Therefore, if 8,900-9,000 years are added to about 600 BC the date of creation comes to 9600 - 9500 BC. The theory proposes that the universe experienced a rapid passage of time, while the earth itself experienced six literal days, because of time dilation. There was also a previous creation that did not have a beginning date, but a date on Stela F from Quiriguá refers to a date possibly 24 trillion years in the past.Matthew Looper, Lightning Warrior: Maya Art and Kingship at Quirigua (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2003) pp. 125-126 ==Abrahamic religions== ===Genesis creation narrative=== Within the biblical framework and chronology, various dates have been proposed for the date of creation since ancient times, to more recent periods. Earth formed about 4.54 billion years ago by accretion from the solar nebula, a disk-shaped mass of dust and gas left over from the formation of the Sun, which also created the rest of the Solar System. The date of the Three sovereigns is fixed at 3000–2700 BCFootbinding: a Jungian engagement with Chinese culture and psychology, Shirley See Yan Ma, Taylor & Francis, 2010, Page xvii and therefore dates the creation about 39,000 BC. ==Maya== The Mesoamerican Long Count calendar dates the creation of the world of human beings to 11 August 3114 BC (in the most commonly accepted correlation) according to the proleptic Gregorian calendar, or Monday, 6 September 3114 BC according to the proleptic Julian calendar.David Freidel, Linda Schele, and Joy Parker, Maya Cosmos: Three thousand years on the shaman's path (New York: William Morrow, 1993) pp.59–75. * Harold Camping dated the creation to 11,013 BC. ==See also== * Old Earth creationism * Relationship between religion and science * Sefer HaTemunah * Chronology of the Bible * Young Earth creationism == References == === Citations === === Sources === * * * ==Further reading== * * ==External links== * Estimates of the age of the Earth -- when it was created by God or coalesced out of stellar matter, B. A. Robinson * Bishop Ussher Dates the World: 4004 BC Category:Creationism Category:Religious cosmologies Category:Jemdet Nasr period Time dilation creationism is a form of young earth creationist interpretation of the Genesis creation narrative which tries to harmonize the existence of distant galaxies with the six days of Creation. George Syncellus preserved yet another set of figures for the predynastic "reign of the gods", 11,984 years for Gods and 2,646 for demigods producing 14,630 years, thus dating the creation to 17,680 BC.Egypt before the Pharaohs, Michael Hoffman, Michael O’Mara Books, 1991, pp. 12-13, pp. 24-36. A creationist museum is a facility that hosts exhibits which use the established natural history museum format to present a young Earth creationist view that the Earth and life on Earth were created some 6,000 to 10,000 years ago in six days. It is asserted that the time dilation mainly happened on the fourth day of creation. == Background and history == Because of the problem of the distance of starlight, time dilation has been used by some young earth creationists to explain how starlight from the edge of the universe, around 13 billion light years away could travel to the Earth in less than 7000 years, thus it has been proposed that on the fourth day of creation, there was a type of time dilation which allowed the light to travel to the earth from the edge of the universe. Two dominant dates for creation using such models exist, about 5500 BC and about 4000 BC. The first age lasted for 3,000 years and included the spiritual creation by Ahura Mazda, followed by the physical creation of 3,000 years when evil entered the world (see Angra Mainyu). Some philosophers believed the Universe was eternal, and actually had no date of creation. ==Zoroastrianism== Zoroastrianism involves a 12,000-year cosmogony and chronology, often divided into four ages as outlined in the Bundahishn. Since the biblical story lacks chronology for some periods, the duration of events has been subject to interpretation in many different ways, resulting in a variety of estimates of the date of creation. The net difference between the two genealogies of Genesis amounts to 1466 years (ignoring the "second year after the flood" ambiguity), which accounts for virtually all of the 1500-year difference between 5500 BC and 4000 BC. Dating creation is the attempt to provide an estimate of the age of Earth or the age of the universe as understood through the creation myths of various religious traditions. However, the Samaritan texts give an equivalent period of 1,307 years, and according to the Septuagint (Codex Alexandrinus, Elizabeth Bible) it is 2,262 years.Catholic Encyclopedia: Biblical Chronology James Ussher agrees with the dating until the birth of Abraham, which he argues took place when Terah was 130, and not 70 as is the direct reading of , thus adding 60 years to his chronology for events postdating Abraham. ===Early Jewish estimations=== The earliest post-exilic Jewish chronicle preserved in the Hebrew language, the Seder Olam Rabbah, compiled by Jose ben Halafta in 160 AD, dates the creation of the world to 3761 BC while the later Seder Olam Zutta to 4339 BC.Young’s Analytical Concordance of the Holy Bible, 1879, 8th Edition, 1939—entry under ‘Creation’ quoting Dr. William Hales New Analysis of Chronology and Geography, History and Prophecy, Vol. 1, 1830, p. 210. According to Sagan: Also, as per Hinduism, Kaliyuga, the last part of the current cycle of time started either in 3050 BCE or 3102 BCE. ==Chinese== The ancient Chinese historian Xu Zheng () in his Three Five Historic Records dated the creation of the world by Pangu 36,000 years (2 x 18,000) before the reign of the legendary Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors.Ancient Chinese Civilization, Rupert Matthews, Todd Van Pelt, The Rosen Publishing Group, 2009, p.6Handbook of Chinese Mythology, Lihui Yang, ABC-CLIO, 2005, p. 176.

What are the effects of karma?

The effect of karma need not be immediate; the effect of karma can be later in one's current life, and in some schools it extends to future lives.see: * James McDermott, Karma and Rebirth in Early Buddhism, in Editor: Wendy D. O'Flaherty (1980), Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions, University of California Press, , pp 165–192 * Padmanabh Jaini, Karma and the problem of rebirth in Jainism, in Editor: Wendy D. O'Flaherty (1980), Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions, University of California Press, , pp 217–239 * Ludo Rocher, Karma and Rebirth in the Dharmasastras, in Editor: Wendy D. O'Flaherty (1980), Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions, University of California Press, , pp 61–89 The consequence or effects of one's karma can be described in two forms: phala and samskara. Not only is one affected by past karma, one creates new karma whenever one acts with intent – good or bad. Karma is a concept of Hinduism which describes a system in which beneficial effects are derived from past beneficial beauty and harmful effects from past harmful actions, creating a system of actions and reactions throughout a soul's (jivatman's) reincarnated lives, forming a cycle of rebirth. Karma (, from , ; ) is a concept of action, work or deed, and its effect or consequences.See: * Encyclopædia Britannica, 11th Edition, Volume 15, New York, pp 679–680, Article on Karma; Quote – "Karma meaning deed or action; in addition, it also has philosophical and technical meaning, denoting a person's deeds as determining his future lot." That is: intent and action (karma) has consequences; karma lingers and doesn't disappear; and, all positive or negative experiences in life require effort and intent.J. Bruce Long, The concepts of human action and rebirth in the Mahabharata, in Wendy D. O'Flaherty (1980), Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions, University of California Press, , Chapter 2 For example: Over time, various schools of Hinduism developed many different definitions of karma, some making karma appear quite deterministic, while others make room for free will and moral agency.Harold Coward (2003) Encyclopedia of Science of Religion, MacMillan Reference, see Karma Among the six most studied schools of Hinduism, the theory of karma evolved in different ways, as their respective scholars reasoned and attempted to address the internal inconsistencies, implications and issues of the karma doctrine. Karma also seeds self perception, and perception influences how one experiences life-events. For example, at 4.4.5–6, it states: The theory of karma as causation holds that: (1) executed actions of an individual affects the individual and the life he or she lives, and (2) the intentions of an individual affects the individual and the life he or she lives. Karma is the causality principle focusing on three concepts: causes, actions, and effects; it is the mind's phenomena that guide the actions that the actor performs. This effect may be material, moral, or emotional – that is, one's karma affects both one's happiness and unhappiness. If the bad actions do not yield their consequences in this life, the soul begins another existence and in the new environment undergoes suffering for its past deeds".Kane, P.V., History of the Dharmaśāstras, Vol. 4, p. 38 Thus it is important to understand that karma does not go away; one must either reap the benefits or suffer the consequences of his past actions. The concept of karma is closely associated with the idea of rebirth in many schools of Indian religions (particularly in Hinduism, Buddhism, Jainism, and Sikhism), as well as Taoism.Eva Wong, Taoism, Shambhala Publications, , pp. 193 In these schools, karma in the present affects one's future in the current life, as well as the nature and quality of future lives—one's saṃsāra. Karma either defiles the soul further, or refines it to a cleaner state, and this affects future rebirths. # Life forms not only receive and reap the consequence of their past karma, together they are the means to initiate, evaluate, judge, give and deliver consequence of karma to others. Examples of how bad karma can be mitigated include the following virtue, or living virtuously; performing good deeds, such as helping others; yoga, or worshiping God to receive grace; and conducting pilgrimages to sacred places, such as or to get the grace of God. At the same time, karma is also the cause of one's continued rebirth and suffering. This concept has also been adopted in Western popular culture, in which the events that happen after a person's actions may be considered natural consequences of those actions. ==Definition== The term karma (; ) refers to both the executed 'deed, work, action, act' and the 'object, intent'. As per some scripture, there is no link of rebirths with karma.Lawrence C. Becker & Charlotte B. Becker, Encyclopedia of Ethics, 2nd edition (2001), , Hindu Ethics, pp 678 Karma is often misunderstood as fate, destiny, or predetermination. When one abides by their caste duty good Karma is earned and vice versa; and the Karma one collects is reflected in the next life as movement within the Caste system. These actions may be those in a person's current life, or, in some schools of Indian traditions, possibly actions in their past lives; furthermore, the consequences may result in the current life, or a person's future lives.Karl Potter (1980), in Karma and Rebirth in Classical Indian Traditions (O'Flaherty, Editor), University of California Press, , pp 241–267 The law of karma operates independent of any deity or any process of divine judgment.See: * For Hinduism view: Jeffrey Brodd (2009), World Religions: A Voyage of Discovery, Saint Mary's Press, , pp. 47; * For Buddhism view: Khandro Rinpoche (2003), This Precious Life, Shambhala, pp. 95 ==== Causality ==== 170px|thumb|right|Karma as action and reaction: if we show goodness, we will reap goodnessA common theme to theories of karma is its principle of causality. # Karma is a theory that explains some evils, not all (cf. moral evil versus natural evil).Reichenbach, Bruce (1990), The Law of Karma, University of Hawai'i Press, Honolulu, Other schools of Hinduism, as well as Buddhism and Jainism that do consider cycle of rebirths central to their beliefs and that karma from past lives affects one's present, believe that both free will (cetanā) and karma can co-exist; however, their answers have not persuaded all scholars.Matthew Dasti and Edwin Bryant (2013), Free Will, Agency, and Selfhood in Indian Philosophy, Oxford University Press, ===Psychological indeterminacy=== Another issue with the theory of karma is that it is psychologically indeterminate, suggests Obeyesekere (1968).G. Obeyesekere (1968), Theodicy, sin and salvation in a sociology of Buddhism, Practical religion, Editor: E.R. Leach, Cambridge University Press That is, if no one can know what their karma was in previous lives, and if the karma from past lives can determine one's future, then the individual is psychologically unclear what if anything he or she can do now to shape the future, be more happy, or reduce suffering. ==Mitigation of bad karma== According to a theistic view, the effects of one's bad karma may be mitigated. According to Reichenbach, The "law of karma" applies Good moral actions lead to wholesome rebirths, and bad moral actions lead to unwholesome rebirths.

Can people turn into pillars of salt?

She was deemed unworthy to be saved and thus was turned to a pillar of salt. Another view in the Jewish exegesis of Genesis 19:26, is that when Lot's wife looked back, she turned to a pillar of salt upon the "sight of God" descending to rain destruction upon Sodom and Gomorrah. Lot's wife is also referred to in the apocrypha in - "a pillar of salt standing as a monument to an unbelieving soul." Another Jewish legend says that because Lot's wife sinned with salt, she was punished with salt. When God rained fire and brimstone upon Sodom and Gomorrah, Lot's wife looked back at the burning cities of the plain and was turned into a pillar of salt in recompense for her folly. Pillar of salt may refer to: *The pillar of salt into which Lot's wife was transformed in the Biblical account of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah *Pillar of Salt (road sign), a road sign in Bury St Edmunds in Suffolk, England, thought to be the first internally illuminated road sign in the country *A Pillar of Salt, a 2021 album by Noah Gundersen *"Pillar of Salt" (Fear the Walking Dead), a television episode *The Pillar of Salt (La statue de sel), a 1953 novel by Albert Memmi The song alludes to the story of Lot's wife as a release from the evil and heartache of life. ==Gallery== File:SaltPillarDeadSea.jpg|A rock formation near the Sanctuary of Agios Lot venerated as Lot's wife as a pillar of salt File:MountSodom061607.jpg|"Lot's Wife" pillar of salt, Mount Sodom, Israel.

The story of Lot's wife is paralleled in Shirley Jackson's short story "Pillar of Salt", in which a woman visiting New York with her husband becomes obsessed with the crumbling of the city. While fleeing, Lot's wife looked behind her at Sodom and was turned into a pillar of salt. ==Composition== The Hebrew verb used for Lot's wife "looking" back is , tāḇeṭ. A pillar of salt named "Lot's wife" is located near the Dead Sea at Mount Sodom in Israel. The Book of Genesis describes how she became a pillar of salt after she looked back at Sodom. Book I. Endnote Number 23 ==Jewish commentaries== In Judaism, one common view of Lot's wife turning to salt was as punishment for disobeying the angels' warning. The Mishnah states that a blessing should be said at the place where the pillar of salt is.(Talmud B. Ber. 54a) The term "Lot's wife" for such geographical features subsequently entered common parlance, as one of the outcrops comprising Long Ya Men was also nicknamed thus. As the rock salt flows, a variety of salt structures are formed. Notable events in his life include his journey with his uncle Abram (Abraham); his flight from the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah, during which Lot's wife became a pillar of salt; and him being intoxicated by his daughters so that they could have sexual intercourse with him and ensure their family would have descendants. ==Biblical account== According to the Hebrew Bible, Lot was born to Haran, who died in Ur of the Chaldees. Such deformation can generate large salt structures such as underground salt layers, salt diapirs or salt sheets at the surface. Her looking back at Sodom differs in word usage from Abraham "looking" , šāqap toward Sodom in (18:16). ==Pillar of salt== The story appears to be based in part on a folk legend explaining a geographic feature. Earth's salt deformation generally involves such mixed materials. Not having any salt, Lot's wife asked her neighbors for some, which alerted them to the presence of their guests, resulting in the mob action that endangered Lot's family. Strictly speaking, salt structures are formed by rock salt that is composed of pure halite (NaCl) crystal. Salt deformation is the change of shape of natural salt bodies in response to forces and mechanisms that controls salt flow.

Who was the first man ever?

Adam and Eve, according to the creation myth of the Abrahamic religions, were the first man and woman. So He created Adam and Eve, the first man and woman." Adam () is believed to have been the first human being on Earth and the first prophet (, nabī) of Islam. Adam's name appears first in Genesis 1 with a collective sense, as "mankind"; subsequently in Genesis 2–3 it carries the definite article ha, equivalent to English "the", indicating that this is "the man". There is no mention in the Quran about who was created first, Adam or Eve." According to the Majallat Al Azhar, nowhere within Islamic texts it is prescribed how long humans existed and every Muslim is free to think that is right, and that the notion of a young earth derives from biblical reports (Israʼiliyyat). == Adam or Muhammad as the first human == Although Adam is considered the first human-being, he isn't necessarily depicted as the first prophet. In the first, Adam and Eve are not named. Adam is believed to be "the world's first Christian," as well as the first prophet. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church) teaches that Adam and Eve were the first man and the first woman to live on the earth and that their fall was an essential step in the plan of salvation. First Man is a 2018 American biographical drama film directed by Damien Chazelle from a screenplay by Josh Singer, based on the 2005 book of the same name by James R. Hansen.

Islamic scholar Sayyid Mumtaz Ali, while commenting on whether Adam was first or Eve, says that "the fact that Adam was created first is nothing but childish.

Eve (; Arabic: حواء ) is the "mother of humanity".Historical Dictionary of Prophets in Islam and Judaism, Wheeler, "Adam and Eve" The creation of Adam and Eve is referred to in the , although different Qurʼanic interpreters give different views on the actual creation story (Qurʼan, Surat al-Nisaʼ, verse 1).:O mankind! The first account says "male and female [God] created them", implying simultaneous creation, whereas the second account states that God created Eve subsequent to the creation of Adam. Other rabbis suggested that Eve and the woman of the first account were two separate individuals, the first being identified as Lilith, a figure elsewhere described as a night demon. Be dutiful to your Lord, Who created you from a single person (Adam), and from him (Adam) He created his wife Hawwa (Eve), and from them both He created many men and women; In al- Qummi's tafsir on the Garden of Eden, such a place was not entirely earthly. Subsequently, Eve is created from one of Adam's ribs to be his companion. Adam's name appears first in Genesis 1 with a collective sense, as "mankind"; subsequently in Genesis 2–3 it carries the definite article ha, equivalent to English "the", indicating that this is "the man". This is a list of American women's firsts, noting the first time that an American woman or women achieved a given historical feat. Abruptly, in the flow of text, in , the man names the woman "Eve" (Heb. hawwah), "because she was the mother of all living". Islamic scholar Sayyid Mumtaz Ali, while commenting on whether Adam was first or Eve, says that "the fact that Adam was created first is nothing but childish. Washington, D.C.; Smithsonian Institution Press, 1987. pp. 94-96 *1739 **Elizabeth Timothy was the first woman to print a formal newspaper as well as the first female franchise holder in the colonies. *1750 **Jane Colden was the first woman botanist in America.Humphrey, H. B (1961). According to Islamic belief, Adam was created from the material of the earth and brought to life by God.

God created Eve first

The first people were Adam and Eve

The first woman ever was Eve

There was no first woman because humans evolved gradually

Are all Muslims Muslims?

Muslims (, , ) are people who adhere to Islam, a monotheistic religion belonging to the Abrahamic tradition. Cultural Muslims or nominal Muslims or non-practicing/observing Muslims are people who identify as Muslims but are not religious and do not practice the faith. * * and Shia Islam (10–20% of all Muslims). Black Muslims and Black Islam denote any black people who are Muslim. Some of those that were mentioned are: Adam, Noah, Abraham, Ishmael, Jacob, Moses, and Jesus and his apostles are all considered to be Muslims in the Qur'an. Some of these groups are not considered Muslim by adherents of mainstream Islam. About 36% of all Muslims have no formal schooling, and Muslims have the lowest average levels of higher education of any major religious group, with only 8% having graduate and post-graduate degrees. ==Culture== Muslim culture or Islamic culture are terms used to describe the cultural practices common to Muslims and historically Islamic people. This secular definition of > Muslim (sometimes the terms cultural Muslim or nominal Muslim are used) is > very far from being uncontested. Over 75–90% of Muslims are Sunni. Hispanic and Latino American Muslims are Hispanic and Latino Americans who are of the Islamic faith. Scholar Adeeb Khaled cited that the majority of the Muslims in Central Asia and Russia are cultural or nominal Muslims. Islam is an Abrahamic, monotheistic religion teaching that there is only one God (Allah), and that Muhammad is a messenger of God. The label Muslim indicates their ethnicity and group allegiance, but > not necessarily their religious beliefs. Muslims believe that Islam is the complete and universal version of a primordial faith that was revealed many times before through prophets including Adam, Abraham, Moses and Jesus,Citation error. According to scholar Tariq Ramadan "most Muslim Westerners do not practice their religion regularly", and some define themselves as merely “cultural” Muslims. === Albania === According to scholars, the majority of Muslims in Albania are 'nominal' or 'cultural' Muslims. According to scholars the majority of Muslims in Azerbaijan are 'nominal' or 'cultural' Muslims. A Pew Center study in 2016 found that Muslims have the highest number of adherents under the age of 15 (34% of the total Muslim population) of any major religion, while only 7% are aged 60+ (the smallest percentage of any major religion). * The vast majority of Latino Muslims surveyed (91%) self-identify as Sunni Muslims. In Islamic belief, before the Qur'an, God had given the Tawrat (Torah) to Moses, the Zabur (Psalms) to David and the Injil (Gospel) to Jesus, who are all considered important Muslim prophets. ==Demographics== thumb|300px|World Muslim population by percentage thumb|300x300px|Muslim distribution worldwide The most populous Muslim- majority country is Indonesia, home to 12.7% of the world's Muslims, followed by Pakistan (11.0%), Bangladesh (9.2%), Nigeria (5.3%) and Egypt (4.9%). The concept of a cultural Muslimsomeone who identifies as a Muslim yet is not religiousis not always met with acceptance in conservative Islamic communities. === Believer vs. non-believer and practicing vs. not-practicing === In non-Muslim majority countries, Muslims may identify themselves by distinguishing themselves as practicing vs. not-practicing and believer vs. non-believer. There are significant segment of Muslim immigrants in the United States and Western Europe who are cultural or nominal Muslims, particularly among second- generation immigrants, where their "Muslim" identity associated with cultural or ethnic heritage rather than merely religious faith. Islam includes acceptance of tawhid (monotheism), and a belief that Muhammad is a messenger of God.

Are all Christians Christian?

In Christianity, there are a number of other words used to refer to Christians. ==In the New Testament== ===Christian=== The word Christian is used three times in the New Testament: Acts 11:26, Acts 26:28, and 1 Peter 4:16. Christian philosophy includes all philosophy carried out by Christians, or in relation to the religion of Christianity. Christian culture generally includes all the cultural practices which have developed around the religion of Christianity. Demographics of Christianity refers to the characteristics of Christians worldwide. Latinos and Hispanics are predominantly Christians in the United States. Cultural Christians are nonreligious persons who adhere to Christian values and appreciate Christian culture. Items of Christian pop culture most typically appeal to a broad spectrum of Christians. As such, these individuals usually identify themselves as culturally Christians, and are often seen by practicing believers as nominal Christians. ==In later Christianity== ===Christ follower=== "Christ follower" (rather than "Christian") has become the preferred self-designation for many people associated with the emerging church. ===Messianic Jews=== Adherents of Messianic Judaism will generally call themselves "Messianic Jews" rather than "Christians". ==See also== * Glossary of Christianity * Names and titles of Jesus in the New Testament * Xian (abbreviation) ==References== Synonyms Synonyms In rabbinical and contemporary Israeli Hebrew, Notzrim is the general official term for Christians. ===The elect=== In Colossians 3:12 Paul calls Christians "the elect". According to a Public Religion Research Institute study in 2017, the majority of Hispanic and Latino Americans are Christians (76%), and about 11% of Americans identify as Hispanic or Latino Christian. == Roman Catholicism == The Spanish and Portuguese took the Roman Catholic faith to Latin America, and Roman Catholicism continues to be the largest, but not the only, religious denomination among most Latinos. According to Pew Research Center "most Christians in Western Europe today are non-practicing, but Christian identity still remains a meaningful religious, social and cultural marker", where 55% of Western Europeans identified themselves as non-practicing Christians, and 18% identified themselves as church-attending Christians. ====The Netherlands==== Forms of Christianity have dominated religious life in what is now the Netherlands for more than 1,200 years,Milis, L.J.R., Christian cooking combines the food of many cultures in which Christian have lived. However, all Christian Churches, in view of the biblical position on the issue, universally condemn drunkenness as sinful. According to a 2018 study by the Pew Research Center; Christianity is still the largest religion in Western Europe, where 71% of Western Europeans identified themselves as Christian. Christian poems often directly reference the Bible, while others provide allegory. Category:Christian secularism Category:Christian terminology Christian Category:Catholic culture Western culture, throughout most of its history, has been nearly equivalent to Christian culture, and much of the population of the Western hemisphere could broadly be described as cultural Christians. Between the various Christian communities, Singapore outranks other nations in terms of Christians who obtain a university degree in institutions of higher education (67%), followed by the Christians of Israel (63%), and the Christians of Georgia (57%). The term "Christianophile" can be contrasted with Christianophobe, someone who shows hatred or other forms of negative feelings towards all that is Christian. A Pew Center study about Religion and Living arrangements around the world in 2019, found that Christians around the world live in somewhat smaller households, on average, than non-Christians (4.5 vs. 5.1 members). 34% of world's Christian population live in two parent families with minor children, while 29% live in household with extended families, 11% live as couples without other family members, 9% live in household with least one child over the age of 18 with one or two parents, 7% live alone, and 6% live in single parent households.[Religion and Living Arrangements Around the World: Muslims and Hindus have larger households than Christians and religious 'nones,' in patterns influenced by regional norms], Pew Research Center, 12 December 2019 Christians in Asia and Pacific, Latin America and the Caribbean, Middle East and North Africa, and in Sub-Saharan Africa, overwhelmingly live in extended or two parent families with minor children.[Religion and Living Arrangements Around the World: Muslims and Hindus have larger households than Christians and religious 'nones,' in patterns influenced by regional norms], Pew Research Center, 12 December 2019 While more Christians in Europe and North America live alone or as couples without other family members.[Religion and Living Arrangements Around the World: Muslims and Hindus have larger households than Christians and religious 'nones,' in patterns influenced by regional norms], Pew Research Center, 12 December 2019 == Cuisine == In mainstream Nicene Christianity, there is no restriction on kinds of animals that can be eaten.

Can you be a non-Christian Christian, and if so, how?

Cultural Christians are nonreligious persons who adhere to Christian values and appreciate Christian culture. Non-denominational Muslims () are Muslims who do not belong to, do not self- identify with, or cannot be readily classified under one of the identifiable Islamic schools and branches. Nondenominational Christianity (or non-denominational Christianity) consists of churches which typically distance themselves from the confessionalism or creedalism of other Christian communitiesConfessionalism is a term employed by historians to refer to "the creation of fixed identities and systems of beliefs for separate churches which had previously been more fluid in their self-understanding, and which had not begun by seeking separate identities for themselves—they had wanted to be truly Catholic and reformed." Through baptism, one is incorporated into the body of believers, called the Church, and may rightly be considered a Christian. According to Pew Research Center "most Christians in Western Europe today are non-practicing, but Christian identity still remains a meaningful religious, social and cultural marker", where 55% of Western Europeans identified themselves as non-practicing Christians, and 18% identified themselves as church-attending Christians. ====The Netherlands==== Forms of Christianity have dominated religious life in what is now the Netherlands for more than 1,200 years,Milis, L.J.R., The evangelical Lausanne Movement defines a nominal Christian as "a person who has not responded in repentance and faith to Jesus Christ as his personal Saviour and Lord"...[he] "may be a practising or non-practising church member. Conversion to Christianity is the religious conversion of a previously non- Christian person to Christianity. Other Christians may not accept conversions performed in other denominations and certain communities may be discriminated against as heretical. A non-denominational person or organization is one that does not follow (or is not restricted to) any particular or specific religious denomination. ==Overview== The term has been used in the context of various faiths including Jainism,Jainism in a global perspective: - Page 115, Sāgaramala Jaina, Shriprakash Pandey, Pārśvanātha Vidyāpīṭha - 1998 Baháʼí Faith,Earth Versus the Science-fiction Filmmakers - Page 70, Tom Weaver - 2005 Zoroastrianism,Zoroastrianism: An Introduction - Page 227, Jenny Rose - 2011 Unitarian Universalism, Neo-Paganism, Christianity,Models for Christian Higher Education, Richard Thomas Hughes, William B.

Mormons, Jehovah's Witnesses, Oneness Pentecostals, Christadelphians, Christian Scientist, and other groups who hold to nontrinitarianism and/or who do not baptize in the "proper" Trinitarian formula are received into the Catholic Church through baptism due to the Catholic Church not recognizing nontrinitarian baptisms.THE QUESTION OF THE VALIDITY OF BAPTISM CONFERRED IN THE CHURCH OF JESUS CHRIST OF LATTER-DAY SAINTS Quakers and members of the Salvation Army are also baptized because neither church practices baptism. As such, these individuals usually identify themselves as culturally Christians, and are often seen by practicing believers as nominal Christians. Nondenominational Christianity arose in the 18th century through the Restoration Movement, with followers organizing themselves simply as "Christians" and "Disciples of Christ". Protestants (Lutherans, Moravians, Anglicans, Presbyterians, Baptists, Assemblies of God, Methodists, etc.) who convert to Catholicism are usually not baptized,Code of Canon Law, Part I, Baptism, Chapter III:"Those baptized in a non-Catholic ecclesial community must not be baptized conditionally unless, after an examination of the matter and the form of the words used in the conferral of baptism and a consideration of the intention of the baptized adult and the minister of the baptism, a serious reason exists to doubt the validity of the baptism." While Christians of both genders in African countries are equally likely to regularly attend services. ==Sunday Christian== A Sunday Christian or Sunday morning Christian (also once-a-weeker) is a derisive term used to refer to someone who typically attends Christian church services on Sundays, but is presumed or witnessed not to adhere to the doctrines or rules of the religion (either actively or passively), or refuses to register as a church member. Baptist ecumenical theologian Steven R. Harmon argues that "there's really no such thing" as a nondenominational church, because "as soon as a supposedly non-denominational church has made decisions about what happens in worship, whom and how they will baptize, how and with what understanding they will celebrate holy communion, what they will teach, who their ministers will be and how they will be ordered, or how they relate to those churches, these decisions have placed the church within the stream of a specific type of denominational tradition."Steven R. Harmon, Ecumenism Means You, Too: Ordinary Christians and the Quest for Christian Unity (Cascade Books, 2010), pp. 61-62. Nondenominational churches are recognizable from the evangelical movement, even though they are autonomous and have no other formal labels.Pew Research Center, AMERICA'S CHANGING RELIGIOUS LANDSCAPE, pewforum.org, USA, May 12, 2015Ed Stetzer, The rise of evangelical 'nones', cnn.com, USA, June 12, 2015Peter C. Phan, Christianities in Asia, John Wiley & Sons, USA, 2011, p. 90 The movement is particularly visible in the megachurches.Sébastien Fath, Dieu XXL, la révolution des mégachurches, Édition Autrement, France, 2008, p. 25, 42Bryan S. Turner, Oscar Salemink, Routledge Handbook of Religions in Asia, Routledge, UK, 2014, p. 407 The neo-charismatic churches often use the term nondenominational to define themselves.Allan Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism: Global Charismatic Christianity, Cambridge University Press, UK, 2013, p. 66 Some non-denominational churches identify solely with Christianity. Often congregating in loose associations such as the Churches of Christ, or in other cases founded by individual pastors, few are affiliated with historic denominations, but many adhere to a form of evangelical Christianity.Allan Anderson, An Introduction to Pentecostalism: Global Charismatic Christianity, Cambridge University Press, UK, 2013, p. 157 Congregations in this tradition of nondenominational Christianity often refer to themselves as Churches of Christ. Christianization is the broader cultural term, and typically has involved efforts to systematically convert an entire continent or culture from existing beliefs to Christianity.Fletcher, Richard. Since the 1990s, a newer generation of these Cultural Christians have been more willing to associate with local churches, and have often drawn on Calvinist theology. ===Italy=== The liberal writer Benedetto Croce, in his book ("why we can't not call ourselves Christians"), expressed the view that Roman Catholic traditions and values formed the basic culture of all Italians, believers and non-believers, and described Christianity primarily as a cultural revolution. ===United Kingdom=== Outspoken English atheist Richard Dawkins has described himself in several interviews as a "cultural Christian" and a "cultural Anglican". Aaron Earls, What Does the Growth of Nondenominationalism Mean?, research.lifeway.com, USA, August 8, 2017Vincent Jackson, How non-denominational churches are attracting millennials, pressofatlanticcity.com, USA, February 2, 2017 If combined into a single group, nondenominational churches collectively represented the third-largest Christian grouping in the United States in 2010, after the Roman Catholic Church and Southern Baptist Convention.Nondenominational & Independent Congregations, Hartford Seminary, Hartford Institute for Religion Research. He argues that nondenominationalism encourages a descent of Christianity—and indeed, all religions—into comfortable "general moralism" rather than being a focus for facing the complexities of churchgoers' culture and spirituality. Validly baptized persons coming from previous denominations do not have to be enrolled in RCIA because the Church does not consider them catechumens since their baptism has already made them Christians.

Are all Jews actually Jews?

Israeli Jews or Jewish Israelis () are Israeli citizens and nationals who are Jewish through either their Jewish ethnicity and/or their adherence to Judaism. Jews of African descent belong to all American Jewish denominations. Black Jews are people who are both Black and Jewish. Thus, among Mizrahim there are Egyptian Jews, Iraqi Jews, Lebanese Jews, Kurdish Jews, Moroccan Jews, Libyan Jews, Syrian Jews, Bukharian Jews, Mountain Jews, Georgian Jews, Iranian Jews, Afghan Jews, and various others. American Jews or Jewish Americans are American citizens who are Jewish, whether by culture, ethnicity, or religion. A 2008 study by the Israel Democracy Institute shows that a plurality of Israeli Jews (47 percent) identify as Jews first and as Israelis second, and that only 39 percent consider themselves to be Israelis first and foremost. Religious Jews are Jews who practice and observe Judaism. African-American Jews are people who are both African American and Jewish. Jewish people are culturally diverse and may be of any race, ethnicity, or national origin. Many American white nationalists and white supremacists view all Jews as non-white, even if they are of European descent. Some American Jews of European or MENA descent identify themselves as being both Jewish and white, while others solely identify themselves as Jewish because they do not consider Jews of European or MENA descent to be white. Many American Jews of European descent identify themselves as being both Jewish and white, while others solely identify themselves as being Jewish or identify as both Jewish and non-white. Modern Jews are named after and also descended from the southern Israelite Kingdom of Judah.* "In the broader sense of the term, a Jew is any person belonging to the worldwide group that constitutes, through descent or conversion, a continuation of the ancient Jewish people, who were themselves the descendants of the Hebrews of the Old Testament." African-American Jews may be either Jewish from birth or converts to Judaism. Nearly half of all Israeli Jews are descended from Jews who made aliyah from Europe, while around the same number are descended from Jews who made aliyah from Arab countries, Iran, Turkey, and Central Asia. The Hebrew word for "Jew" is , with the plural . Mizrahi Jews sometimes identify as Jews of color, but often do not, and they may or may not be considered people of color by society. Only in Israel is the Jewish population representative of all groups, a melting pot independent of each group's proportion within the overall world Jewish population.Dosick (2007), p. Not all Jews immigrating to Israel from European countries are of Ashkenazi origin (the majority of French Jews are of Sephardic, and some Jews from the Asian Republics of the USSR are Mizrahi), and the Israeli government does not distinguish between Jewish communities in its census. According to the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics there were 13,421,000 Jews worldwide in 2009, roughly 0.19 percent of the world's population at the time. Jews (, , ) or Jewish people are an ethnoreligious group, nation or ethnos originating from the ancient Israelites Israelite origins and kingdom: "The first act in the long drama of Jewish history is the age of the Israelites""The people of the Kingdom of Israel and the ethnic and religious group known as the Jewish people that descended from them have been subjected to a number of forced migrations in their history" and Hebrews of historical Israel and Judah. Many African-American Jews are of mixed heritage, having both African-American gentile and non-black Jewish ancestors.

Are all plants plants?

Historically, the plant kingdom encompassed all living things that were not animals, and included algae and fungi. About 85–90% of all plants are flowering plants. Plants is a peer-reviewed open-access scientific journal that covers various areas of plant biology, including cellular biology, molecular biology, genetics, and ecology. The scientific study of plants is known as botany, a branch of biology. == Definition == === Taxonomic history === All living things were traditionally placed into one of two groups, plants and animals. Plants form about 80% of the world biomass at about of carbon. === Ecological relationships === Numerous animals have coevolved with plants; flowering plants have evolved pollination syndromes, suites of flower traits that favour their reproduction. From least to most inclusive, these four groupings are: Name(s) Scope Description Land plants, also known as Embryophyta Plantae sensu strictissimo Plants in the strictest sense include liverworts, hornworts, mosses, and vascular plants, as well as fossil plants similar to these surviving groups (e.g., Metaphyta Whittaker, 1969, Plantae Margulis, 1971). Biology of Plants (7th ed.). Old definitions of plant (obsolete) Plantae sensu amplo Plants in the widest sense refers to older, obsolete classifications that placed the unrelated groups of algae, fungi and bacteria in Plantae (e.g., Plantae or Vegetabilia Linnaeus, Plantae Haeckel 1866, Metaphyta Haeckel, 1894, Plantae Whittaker, 1969). == Evolution == === Diversity === There are about 382,000 accepted species of plants, of which the great majority, some 293,000, produce seeds. thumb|upright=1.4|Structure of a plant cell Plant cells are the cells present in green plants, photosynthetic eukaryotes of the kingdom Plantae. Plants are eukaryotes, predominantly photosynthetic, forming the kingdom Plantae. Basic biological research has often used plants as its model organisms. Just as in animals, plant cells differentiate and develop into multiple cell types, forming tissues such as the vascular tissue with specialized xylem and phloem of leaf veins and stems, and organs with different physiological functions such as roots to absorb water and minerals, stems for support and to transport water and synthesised molecules, leaves for photosynthesis, and flowers for reproduction. === Photosynthesis === Plants photosynthesize, manufacturing food molecules using energy obtained from light. Plants and Animals is the 2003 debut EP by Plants and Animals. By one definition, plants form the clade Viridiplantae (Latin for "green plants") which consists of the green algae and the embryophytes or land plants. Plants are often the dominant physical and structural component of the habitats where they occur. The latter include hornworts, liverworts, mosses, lycophytes, ferns, conifers and other gymnosperms, and flowering plants. Daucus maritimus may refer to three different taxa of plants: * Daucus maritimus With., a synonym for Daucus carota subsp. carota L. * Daucus maritimus Lam., a synonym for Daucus carota subsp. maritimus (Lam.) Batt. * Plant cells contain plastids, the most notable being chloroplasts, which contain the green-colored pigment chlorophyll that converts the energy of sunlight into chemical energy that the plant uses to make its own food from water and carbon dioxide in the process known as photosynthesis. Ornamental plants have sometimes changed the course of history, as in tulipomania. === In science === The traditional study of plants is the science of botany. Monophyllaea glauca are plants that consist of just one leaf. About 7,000 species of plant have been used for food, though most of today's food is derived from only 30 species. An algal scum formed on the land , but it was not until the Ordovician, around , that the first land plants appeared, with a level of organisation like that of bryophytes.Transition of plants to land However, evidence from carbon isotope ratios in Precambrian rocks suggests that complex plants developed over 1000 mya.

Dog allergy may refer to: *Allergies in dogs *Allergy to dogs All Dogs is a pop punk quartet from Columbus, Ohio. Dogs are susceptible to allergies much like their human companions. There are a number of different kinds of allergies from which dogs may suffer. The Dog and Everything is a power pop rock band from Chicago, IL. A dog bakery is a bakery of dog food. == History == Dog bakeries are an outgrowth of the dog biscuit industry. On April 1, 2016, lead vocalist of punk rock band Green Day posted a short clip of All Dogs' live performance on Instagram with the description "ALL DOGS!!!! great band". ==Discography== ===Albums=== *Kicking Every Day - Salinas Records, LP, MP3 (2015) ===EPs=== *All Dogs - Salinas Records, 7", MP3 (2013) ===Split Releases=== *Split with Slouch - Self Released, Cassette, MP3 (2013) ==References== Category:Musical groups from Columbus, Ohio Category:Musical groups established in 2012 Category:Pop punk groups from Pennsylvania Category:2012 establishments in Ohio Category:Pop punk groups from Ohio Guide to Skin and Haircoat Problems in Dogs: 8 Dogs will often have reactions to multiple allergens and may also experience concurrent flea or food allergies. From here, The Dog and Everything continued to play as a trio under the original name, as well forming a new band called Last Fast Action with two additional members.The Dog and Everything but Live Fast Action. On this cassette, All Dogs contributed 6 songs, 5 of which were originals and one of which was a cover. Its members are singer/guitarist Maryn Jones, who has also played with Saintseneca, drummer Jesse Wither, who has also played with the punk band Delay, bassist Amanda Bartley of the band Swearin’, and guitarist Nick Harris, who also played in the Philadelphia based band Slaughter Beach, Dog. ==History== All Dogs was founded in 2012, and released their first cassette in July 2013, as their half of a split cassette with Slouch, another Ohio band. As of 2008 there were an estimated 800 dog bakeries in the United States. Guide to Skin and Haircoat Problems in Dogs: 20–28 ==== Contact allergies==== Contact allergies are the least common type of allergies. The Allergy Solution for Dogs: 1–10 To identify the specific allergens to which the dog is sensitive, veterinarians will commonly use a serum allergy test or a skin allergy test. Liz Perry wrote in Stereogum that the six songs All Dogs included on the cassette "contain more perfect anxiousness and earnestness than some bands can get out in a whole album." Some human bakeries also carry baked good for pets, and some pet supplies stores have bakery sections with trained chefs baking onsite. == Products == Typically dog bakeries produce cookie-like items decorated to appeal to humans but made with ingredients that are formulated to be safe for dogs, such as using carob instead of chocolate, little or no sugar or salt, and flavors that appeal to dogs such as peanut butter and yogurt. In 2015, the band released their debut album, Kicking Every Day, on Salinas Records. ==Critical reception== All Dogs' debut cassette was described by Pitchfork Media as "pierced with a strong sense of yearning." Most allergies occur in dogs over 6 months old. As a general trend consumers in the US have become more concerned about the ingredients in their own food, and this has made some more concerned about their pets' food too, including concerns over the ingredients and additives in commercially produced pet treats. ==References== Category:Pet foods Category:Bakeries As of 2017 there were online dog bakeries. Typically, bacterial allergies are secondary to other problems the dog may have, such as parasitism or hormonal disorders.Lowell Ackerman (January 1994).

Are all real numbers real numbers?

In mathematics, there are several equivalent ways of defining the real numbers. All these constructions of the real numbers have been shown to be equivalent, in the sense that the resulting number systems are isomorphic. === Axiomatic approach === Let \mathbb{R} denote the set of all real numbers, then: * The set \mathbb{R} is a field, meaning that addition and multiplication are defined and have the usual properties. The real numbers include the rational numbers, such as the integer and the fraction . In mathematics, the irrational numbers (from in- prefix assimilated to ir- (negative prefix, privative) + rational) are all the real numbers that are not rational numbers. Real numbers satisfy the usual rules of arithmetic, but floating- point numbers do not. As such, the reals are not given by a first-order logic theory. ==== On models ==== A model of real numbers is a mathematical structure that satisfies the above axioms. Other common definitions of real numbers include equivalence classes of Cauchy sequences (of rational numbers), Dedekind cuts, and infinite decimal representations. The rest of the real numbers are called irrational numbers, and include algebraic numbers (such as the square root ) and transcendental numbers (such as ). Real numbers can be thought of as all points on a line called the number line or real line, where the points corresponding to integers () are equally spaced. In mathematics, real is used as an adjective, meaning that the underlying field is the field of the real numbers (or the real field). Physicists have occasionally suggested that a more fundamental theory would replace the real numbers with quantities that do not form a continuum, but such proposals remain speculative. === Logic === The real numbers are most often formalized using the Zermelo–Fraenkel axiomatization of set theory, but some mathematicians study the real numbers with other logical foundations of mathematics. The real numbers are uniquely specified by the above properties. As a consequence of Cantor's proof that the real numbers are uncountable and the rationals countable, it follows that almost all real numbers are irrational. == History == thumb|Set of real numbers (R), which include the rationals (Q), which include the integers (Z), which include the natural numbers (N). All these definitions satisfy the axiomatic definition and are thus equivalent. == Characterizing properties == Real numbers are completely characterized by their fundamental properties that can be summarized by saying that they form an ordered field that is Dedekind complete. A real number may be either computable or uncomputable; either algorithmically random or not; and either arithmetically random or not. == History == thumb|Real numbers (\mathbb{R}) include the rational numbers (\mathbb{Q}), which include the integers (\mathbb{Z}), which in turn include the natural numbers (\mathbb{N}) Simple fractions were used by the Egyptians around 1000 BC; the Vedic "Shulba Sutras" ("The rules of chords") in include what may be the first "use" of irrational numbers. This article lists some properties of sets of real numbers. A consequence of the axioms is that this structure is unique up to an isomorphism, and thus, the real numbers can be used and manipulated, without referring to the method of construction. === Axioms === # \mathbb{R} is a field under addition and multiplication. This defines the linear order relation on the set of real numbers constructed this way. === Other constructions === write: "Few mathematical structures have undergone as many revisions or have been presented in as many guises as the real numbers. The real numbers form a set, commonly denoted \mathbb{R}, containing two distinguished elements denoted 0 and 1, and on which are defined two binary operations and one binary relation; the operations are called addition and multiplication of real numbers and denoted respectively with and ; the binary relation is inequality, denoted \le. By doing this we may think intuitively of a real number as being represented by the set of all smaller rational numbers. The Dedekind completeness described below implies that some real numbers, such as \sqrt 2, are not rational numbers; they are called irrational numbers. In French mathematics, the positive real numbers and negative real numbers commonly include zero, and these sets are noted respectively \mathbb{R_+} and \mathbb{R}_{-}.

What's one thing that all Millennials have in common?

But by the late 2010s, older millennials had accumulated sufficient savings and were ready to buy a home, get married, and have children. Millennials enjoy a number of important advantages compared to their elders, such as higher levels of education, and longer working lives, but they suffer some disadvantages including limited prospects of economic growth, leading to delayed home ownership and marriage. Even though research has shown that millennials are joining the workforce during a tough economic time, they still have remained optimistic, as shown when about nine out of ten millennials surveyed by the Pew Research Center said that they currently have enough money or that they will eventually reach their long-term financial goals. left|thumb|Millennials' debts are not mainly due to student loans but rather credit-card debts. In one important way the economic prospects of millennials are similar to those of their parents the baby boomers: their huge number means that the competition for jobs was always going to be intense. While millennials are well known for taking out large amounts of student loans, these are actually not their main source of non- mortgage personal debt, but rather credit card debt. This was especially true for millennials with families. 21% said student debt prevented them from saving for the future. The report said millennials are somewhat more upbeat than older adults about America's future, with 49% of millennials saying the country's best years are ahead, though they're the first in the modern era to have higher levels of student loan debt and unemployment. === Courtship behavior === In many countries, people have since the mid-twentieth century been increasingly looking for mates of the same socioeconomic status and educational attainment. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle—avoiding smoking, over-drinking, and sleep deprivation—should prove beneficial. ====Housing==== Despite the availability of affordable housing, and broadband Internet, the possibility of telecommuting, the reality of high student loan debts and the stereotype of living in their parents' basement, millennials were steadily leaving rural counties for urban areas for lifestyle and economic reasons in the early 2010s. Most millennials are the children of baby boomers and older Generation X; millennials are often the parents of Generation Alpha. According to the Brookings Institution, millennials are the "demographic bridge between the largely white older generations (pre- millennials) and much more racially diverse younger generations (post- millennials)." A report from the Brookings Institution stated that in the United States, the Millennials are a bridge between the largely Caucasian pre-Millennials (Generation X and their predecessors) and the more diverse post-Millennials (Generation Z and their successors). Millennials are sometimes called echo boomers, due to them often being the offspring of the baby boomers, the significant increase in birth rates from the early 1980s to mid-1990s, and their generation's large size relative to that of boomers. Millennials across the world have suffered significant economic disruption since starting their working lives; many faced high levels of youth unemployment during their early years in the labour market in the wake of the Great Recession, and suffered another recession in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. ==Terminology and etymology== Members of this demographic cohort are known as millennials because the oldest became adults around the turn of the millennium. In fact, millennials have benefited the least from the economic recovery following the Great Recession, as average incomes for this generation have fallen at twice the general adult population's total drop and are likely to be on a path toward lower incomes for at least another decade. Like older generations, millennials reevaluate their life choices as they age. Despite economic recovery and despite being more likely to have a bachelor's degree or higher, millennials are at a financial disadvantage compared to the Baby Boomers and Generation X because of the Great Recession and expensive higher education. A number of millennials have opted to save their money and retire early while traveling rather than settling in an expensive North American city. One in three Millennials felt "overwhelmed" by their liabilities, compared to 26% of Generation X and 13% of Baby Boomers, according to consultant firm BDO Canada. About one in five millennials were delaying having children because of financial worries. Many Canadian millennial couples are also struggling with their student loan debts. alt=|left|thumb|330x330px|Ottawa became a magnet for millennials in the late 2010s. Millennials are the most highly educated and culturally diverse group of all generations, and have been regarded as hard to please when it comes to employers.

What trait do all British people share?

Some stereotypes relate to specific ethnic groups of Britain while others are directed at British nationals in general. ==Common stereotypes== ===Politeness=== Both historically and in the present day, the British have often been associated with good manners by many people around the world, similar to Canadians. ===Humour=== British humour is well known for its use of sarcasm, dark comedy, and irony. Stereotypes of British people are found in several cultures. Along with aspects of common British identity, each of them has their own distinct identity shaped in the respective particular circumstances of political, economic, ethnic, social and cultural history. This has been used to explain why first-, second- and third-generation immigrants are more likely to describe themselves as British, rather than English, because it is an "institutional, inclusive" identity, that can be acquired through naturalisation and British nationality law; the vast majority of people in the United Kingdom who are from an ethnic minority feel British. However, "English participants tended to think of themselves as indistinguishably English or British, while both Scottish and Welsh participants identified themselves much more readily as Scottish or Welsh than as British". However, this attitude is more common in England than in Scotland or Wales; "white English people perceived themselves as English first and as British second, and most people from ethnic minority backgrounds perceived themselves as British, but none identified as English, a label they associated exclusively with white people". British people or Britons, also known colloquially as Brits, are the citizens of the United Kingdom, the British Overseas Territories, and the Crown dependencies.Cfr. Historically, British cuisine was generally fairly bland after the World War II period, but globalisation and mass immigration have caused it to become more diverse. ===Monolingualism=== There is a common stereotype that the British are only able to speak English. Other hot drinks, especially coffee, are also popular. ===Lack of emotion=== The British are often seen as reserved and unemotional. The peoples of Great Britain had by the 1750s begun to assume a "layered identity": to think of themselves as simultaneously British and also Scottish, English, or Welsh. At its international zenith, "Britishness joined peoples around the world in shared traditions and common loyalties that were strenuously maintained".. This includes the groups Black British and Asian British people, which together constitute around 10% of the British population. British tea culture dates back to the 19th century, when India was part of the British Empire and British interests controlled tea production in the subcontinent. === Languages === There is no single British language, though English is by far the main language spoken by British citizens, being spoken monolingually by more than 70% of the UK population. Studies and surveys have "reported that the majority of the Scots and Welsh see themselves as both Scottish/Welsh and British though with some differences in emphasis". Since the British Nationality Act 1948 and the subsequent mass immigration to the United Kingdom from the Commonwealth and elsewhere in the world, "the expression and experience of cultural life in Britain has become fragmented and reshaped by the influences of gender, ethnicity, class and region".. Commentators have described this latter phenomenon as "nationalism", a rejection of British identity because some Scots and Welsh interpret it as "cultural imperialism imposed" upon the United Kingdom by "English ruling elites",. or else a response to a historical misappropriation of equating the word "English" with "British", which has "brought about a desire among Scots, Welsh and Irish to learn more about their heritage and distinguish themselves from the broader British identity". == See also == *English people *Scottish people *Welsh people *People of Northern Ireland * Anti-British sentiment * Lists of British people ** 100 Greatest Britons == References== === Citations === === Sources === * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * == Further reading == * * * * * * * * ==External links== * * Category:Society of the United Kingdom Category:Ethnic groups in the United Kingdom Throughout the United Kingdom there are distinctive spoken expressions and regional accents of English, which are seen to be symptomatic of a locality's culture and identity.. Monty Python was a famous British comedic group and some of the most highly regarded comedies, such as Fawlty Towers and Mr. Bean, are British. === Tea === thumb|A cup of tea with milk Drinking tea – specifically the more oxidised black tea – is seen as a key part of British culture. Britons – people with British citizenship or of British descent – have a significant presence in a number of countries other than the United Kingdom, and in particular in those with historic connections to the British Empire. The complex history of the formation of the United Kingdom created a "particular sense of nationhood and belonging" in Great Britain and Ireland; Britishness became "superimposed on much older identities", of English, Scots, Welsh, and Irish cultures, whose distinctiveness still resists notions of a homogenised British identity.. Outside of the United Kingdom and its Overseas Territories, the largest proportions of people of self-identified ethnic British descent in the world are found in New Zealand (59%), Australia (46%) and Canada (31%),Canadians of British Isles origin with the exception of those identifying their ancestry as Irish only. followed by a considerably smaller minority in the United States (10.7%) and parts of the Caribbean. Almost 97 per cent of Black Britons live in England, particularly in England's larger urban areas, with most (over a million) Black British living in Greater London. == Terminology == The term Black British has most commonly been used to refer to Black people of New Commonwealth origin, of both West African and South Asian descent.

What is true of all French people?

French people living outside France (French: Français établis hors de France) are French citizens living outside the current territory of the French Republic. In Stockholm, the French Lutheran congregation was formed in 1687, later dissolved in 1791, which was not really an actual congregation but rather a series of private gatherings of religious practice. ===Elsewhere=== Apart from Québécois, Acadians, Cajuns, and Métis, other populations with some French ancestry outside metropolitan France include the Caldoches of New Caledonia, Louisiana Creole people of the United States, the so-called Zoreilles and Petits-blancs of various Indian Ocean islands, as well as populations of the former French colonial empire in Africa and the West Indies. ==See also== * Demographics of France * Armenians in France * Cagot * Ethnic groups in Europe * Franco-Mauritian * French Americans * French Australian * French Canadians * French Peruvian * Peruvians in France * French people in Madagascar * Genetic history of Europe * History of the Jews in France * List of French people * List of French people of immigrant origin * Pied-Noir – French citizens in French Algeria ==References== * * Wieviorka, M L'espace du racisme 1991 Éditions du Seuil * Category:Demographics of France People Nevertheless, speaking French is distinct from being a French citizen.

Stereotypes Germans Stereotypes Beer () is a major part of German culture. Stereotypes of Germans include real or imagined characteristics of the German people used by people who see the German people as a single and homogeneous group. ==Stereotypes among German people== There exist stereotypes of Western Germans, Wessis, especially "Besserwisser" (people who always know better); and Eastern Germans, Ossis. == Stereotypes with positive use == ===Extremely punctual people=== According to the stereotype, in Germany, everything happens exactly as per schedule and Germans do not tolerate being late for any occasion and are proud of their punctuality.

German Standard German, Standard German of Germany, or High German of Germany is the variety of Standard German that is written and spoken in Germany. The perceived inability of the Germans to engage in small talk and their unromantic nature are discussed by foreigners. German-language humour is, for linguistic reasons, constructed differently from English-language humour (e.g., British humour and American humour). Most are able to understand Standard German in addition to their dialect. Germany is perceived to have an abundance of rules (for example, copyright trolls often come from Germany) and Germans are generalized as enjoying obeying them. In Wisconsin, the decline in percentage of those identifying themselves as Germans was even more obvious. It is the variety of German most commonly taught to foreigners. Almost nowhere are German Americans as a group as visible as many smaller groups. There are many popular culture references to perceived lack of humor in Germany, a notable example being the Funnybot episode of South Park.

Why do French people have bad breath?

The intensity of bad breath may differ during the day, due to eating certain foods (such as garlic, onions, meat, fish, and cheese), smoking, and alcohol consumption. Some people assume that they have bad breath because of bad taste (metallic, sour, fecal, etc.), however bad taste is considered a poor indicator. During the Renaissance era, Laurent Joubert, doctor to King Henry III of France states bad breath is "caused by dangerous miasma that falls into the lungs and through the heart, causing severe damages". * Fruit and vegetables (On average, French people consume more fresh fruits and vegetables than Americans do.) Some authors have suggested that there is an evolutionary basis to concern over bad breath. Bad breath may be transient, often disappearing following eating, drinking, tooth brushing, flossing, or rinsing with specialized mouthwash. Rarely, bad breath can be due to an underlying medical condition such as liver failure or ketoacidosis. They are sure that they have bad breath, although many have not asked anyone for an objective opinion. Bad breath is viewed as a social taboo and those affected may be stigmatized. In the present day, bad breath is one of the biggest social taboos. She points out that the smoking rates for women in France and the U.S. are virtually identical.Archive.org Guiliano suggests that the key factors are: * Smaller portion sizes: - she advocates the 50% rule, i.e. asking for half of whatever food one is offered, "la moitié, s'il vous plaît" in French * Savoring food to increase the feeling of satisfaction, choosing a small amount of high quality food rather than larger amounts of low quality food * Eating 3 meals a day and not snacking * Taking in plenty of liquid such as water, herbal tea and soup * Sitting down and eating mindfully (no multitasking and eating while standing up, watching TV, or reading) * Emphasizing freshness, variety, balance, and, above all, pleasure ==== Early life nutrition ==== One proposed explanation of the French paradox regards possible effects (epigenetic or otherwise) of dietary improvements in the first months and years of life, exerted across multiple generations. Estimated rates of bad breath vary from 6% to 50% of the population. The general population places great importance on the avoidance of bad breath, illustrated by the annual $1 billion that consumers in the United States spend on deodorant-type mouth (oral) rinses, mints, and related over-the-counter products. Bad breath may severely affect the lives of some 0.5–1.0% of the adult population. == Diagnosis == === Self diagnosis === Scientists have long thought that smelling one's own breath odour is often difficult due to acclimatization, although many people with bad breath are able to detect it in others. There is some controversy over the role of periodontal diseases in causing bad breath. While a higher percentage of French people smoke, this is not greatly higher than the U.S. (35% in France vs. 25% in U.S.) and is unlikely to account for the weight difference between countries. Evidence supports this explanation: mortality > from heart disease across countries, including France, correlates strongly > with levels of animal fat consumption and serum cholesterol in the past (30 > years ago).... Bad breath may also be persistent (chronic bad breath), which affects some 25% of the population in varying degrees. ==== Tongue ==== thumb|Normal appearance of the tongue, showing a degree of visible white coating and normal irregular surface on the posterior dorsum. In reflection of these problems, reported epidemiological data are widely variable. == History, society and culture == The earliest known mention of bad breath occurs in ancient Egypt, where detailed recipes for toothpaste are made before the Pyramids are built. Concern about bad breath is the third most common reason people seek dental care, after tooth decay and gum disease. Bad breath, also known as halitosis, is a symptom in which a noticeably unpleasant breath odour is present. In his 2003 book, The Fat Fallacy: The French Diet Secrets to Permanent Weight Loss, Will Clower suggests the French paradox may be narrowed down to a few key factors, namely: * Good fats versus bad fats — French people get up to 80% of their fat intake from dairy and vegetable sources, including whole milk, cheeses, and whole milk yogurt.

Why do British people have bad teeth?

Dental health is also affected by the dental, diet, and lifestyle habits of individuals, and by the fluoridation of toothpaste and drinking water. ===Dental habits=== Early childhood is an important time to establish good dental health habits (including brushing and dental visits), reducing the risk of disease and leading to better health in adulthood.NSW Department of Health Centre for Oral Health Strategy. (2014). Dental health in the UK was worse than that of Germany. The British Dental Students' Association is a representative body of the dental students studying at British dental schools. However, financial constraints can lead to children in lower income households being less likely to access dental care than those in higher income households. ===Dietary habits=== High-sugar foods such muesli bars, lollies, and sugary drinks and juices can contribute to dental decay, as can refined carbohydrates found in crackers and chips. In particular, Indigenous Australians tend to score worse on almost every dental health indicator, relative to their non- Indigenous counterparts.Jamieson, L. M., Roberts-Thomson, K. F., & Sayers, S. M. (2010). "Australia’s dental generations: the National Survey of Adult Oral Health 2004–06." Young Australians today have less tooth decay because of fluoride. A lack of access to NHS dentistry presents risks not only for oral health, but also in relation to early detection of mouth cancers and type two diabetes. Regular consumption of alcohol can lead to tooth decay, and smoking can result in gum damage and future oral cancers.Government of Victoria "Teeth and drug use" Retrieved on 19 October 2015. ===Fluoridation=== Australians born after 1967 were named the "Fluoride Generation" because they had been exposed to fluoridated water and toothpaste that contained fluoride since birth. There are repeated stories of shortage of NHS dental services, especially in remote areas such as Skye and Cornwall.

One page that explains the history of golf in Scotland starts off by stating that, "There has been much debate as to the origins of the game and, in some cases, how it was originally played. Approximately 75% of the world's disc golf courses are located in the United States. U.S. Kids Golf is a United States-based youth golf organization. There are many other famous golf courses in Scotland, including Carnoustie, Gleneagles, Muirfield, Kingsbarns, Turnberry and Royal Troon. The Dictionary of the Older Scottish Tongue gives the etymology of the word golf or (with many alternative spellings) as probably from the Dutch kolf (see Kolven, a Dutch indoor ballgame); although the dictionary also records the noun golf (with alternative spellings golfe or golph) as deriving from Middle English golf or or Old French , meaning "a deep pool or hollow; an abyss"; a cognate of modern English gulf. ===Other golfing words of Scots origin=== *Links: first recorded in 1453 - "Et de ... Therefore, golf courses, whether public or private, are far more common in the Lowlands than in the Highlands and Islands, where shinty (a game which may share a common ancestry with golf) is often the traditional sport. The competition is run by the British PGA and the PGA of America. There are now more than 550 golf courses throughout the country, with at least 21 courses in Edinburgh alone. ==Spreading the game outwith Scotland== When James VI succeeded to the thrones of England and Ireland in 1603 (see Union of the Crowns) a large number of his Scottish courtiers followed him to London. Ice hockey is the most popular indoor sport in Scotland, with a fairly established presence in each of the population centres and a spectator attendance lower only than football and rugby union. Rockland Country Club is located in Sparkill, New York, and features an 18-hole golf course. ==History== The club was incorporated in 1906 and commissioned Henry Stark to design a 9-hole course that was ready the following year. Although it is certainly the oldest English golf club, and the oldest outwith Scotland, there is no evidence that it is the oldest golf club in the world, as is sometimes claimed. The Scottish National Dictionary states that "golf represents a revival of the Middle Scots form; Loudoun Gowf Club, Newmilns, retains the old form in its title";Gowf , Dictionary of the Scots Language, accessed 2008-12-05 i.e. the spelling changed from Medieval golf to Early Modern gowf, and then back again.

What's an ethnic group where people love dancing?

Irish dance refers to a group of traditional dance forms that originate in Ireland, encompassing dancing both solo and in groups, and dancing for social, competitive, and performance purposes. Irish dancing in groups is made up of a number of styles and traditions, which developed from French and English dances and formations. Irish dance became a significant part of Irish culture, particularly for Irish nationalist movements. This is a list of dances grouped by ethnicity, country, or region. Dance Ireland is an association that promotes professional dance in Ireland. These were transformed by the Irish into a unique folk dance of the Irish rural communities. Solo Irish dance includes the most well-known form of Irish dance, Irish stepdance, which was popularised from 1994 onwards by shows such as Riverdance, and which is practised competitively across not only the Irish diaspora but to many more people who have disparate cultural backgrounds. Irish set dancing, sometimes called "Irish sets", is a popular form of folk dancing in Ireland danced to Irish tunes in groups of eight or four dancers. Irish dancers who compete for competitive reasons dance in a dance style that is more modern than traditional Irish dance. The dancing traditions of Ireland probably grew in association with traditional Irish music. Irish dance in its current form developed from various influences such as earlier native Irish dance, English country dancing and later possibly French quadrilles, as it became popular in Britain and Ireland during the 19th century. An exception to this generalization must be pointed out where groups of individuals are dancing independently of each other, but with the purpose of creating a "group" feeling or experience, such as might accompany various forms of ritual dancing. According to the BBC's A Short History of Irish Dance, "The nature of the Irish dance tradition has changed and adapted over the centuries to accommodate and reflect changing populations and the fusion of new cultures. Irish stepdance is a style of performance dance with its roots in traditional Irish dance. The Irish Dance masters refined and codified indigenous Irish dance traditions. Group dances are danced by groups of people simultaneously, as opposed to individuals dancing alone or individually, and as opposed to couples dancing together but independently of others dancing at the same time, if any. Solo stepdances, which are danced by a single dancer, and group stepdances, which are coordinated with 2 or more dancers. ===Solo dance=== thumb|175px|left|Irish stepdancers performing in school costumes and hard shoes Reel, slip jig, hornpipe, and jig are all types of Irish stepdances and are also types of Irish traditional music. In the 19th century, the Irish diaspora had spread Irish dance all over the world, especially to North America and Australia. Males and females can both perform Irish stepdance but for the most part in today's society, the dance remains predominantly female. * Beginners Guide to Irish Dancing * The History of Irish Dance * Irish Step Dancing * Set Dance * World Irish Dancing * Dance instruction database ===Irish Dance Organisations=== * An Coimisiún le Rincí Gaelacha The Irish Dancing Commission * World Irish Dance Association (WIDA) * An Comhdháil Múinteora Rince Gaelacha Congress of Irish Dance Teachers * Cumann Rince Náisiúnta (CRN) National Dance Association * Comhaltas Ceoltóirí Eireann Gathering of Musicians of Ireland * Cumman Rince Dea Mheasa Category:Folk dances Today, stepdance in the style codified by the Gaelic League is performed competitively in a number of countries, and under the auspices of a number of organisations which have at various times broken away from CLRG. ====Dances==== thumb|left|An untraditional dance style|alt=Nontraditional costumes as well Irish solo stepdances fall into two broad categories based on the shoes worn: 'hard shoe' (or heavy shoe) and 'soft shoe' (or light shoe) dances.

What's an ethnic group where everyone loves doing special favors to their family?

An ethnic interest group or ethnic lobby, according to Thomas Ambrosio, is an advocacy group (often a foreign policy interest group) established along cultural, ethnic, religious or racial lines by an ethnic group for the purposes of directly or indirectly influencing the foreign policy of their resident country in support of the homeland and/or ethnic kin abroad with which they identify. ==Overview== According to Ambrosio, "like other societal interest groups, ethnic identity groups establish formal organizations devoted to promoting group cohesiveness and addressing group concerns." Ethnic interest groups in the United States are ethnic interest groups within the United States which seek to influence the foreign policy and, to a lesser extent, the domestic policy of the United States for the benefit of the foreign "ethnic kin" or homeland with whom the respective ethnic groups identify.Ambrosio, Thomas. 2002. Those interest groups established by ethnic identity groups are referred as to ethnic interest groups. ==Characteristics== ===Foreign concerns=== According to Thomas Ambrosio, most ethnic identity groups have connections inside their host country. Italians (, ) are an ethnic group native to the Italian geographical region. Ethnic Groups and U.S. Foreign Policy. Chinese people in Turkey are one the ethnic groups of overseas Chinese living in Central Asia. An ethnic party is a political party that overtly presents itself as the champion of one ethnic group or sets of ethnic groups. # Many "interest groups that support a specific ethnic agenda may argue that they are not ethnic-specific." The term ethnic Mennonite refers to Mennonites of Central European ancestry and culture who are considered to be members of a Mennonite ethnic or ethnoreligious group. Italians share a common culture, history, ancestry and language. Ethnic Identity Groups and U.S. Foreign Policy. Ethnic Identity Groups and U.S. Foreign Policy. Ethnic Identity Groups and U.S. Foreign Policy. The opposing interpretation comes to a conclusion that the influence of ethnic interest groups can result in a parochial capture of a nation's foreign policy that harms the "true" national interest and common good. ====Legitimate multiculturalism==== Those arguing for a multicultural foreign policy "see little wrong with ethnic groups having a voice in the foreign policy process." According to a literature review of the topic conducted by Patrick J. Haney and Walt Vanderbush, the primary factors that determine the relative strength of influence of an ethnic interest group are: # "Organizational strength – organizational unity, a professional lobbying apparatus that provides useful information, and financial resources; # Membership unity, placement, and voter participation – based on the group's electoral implications; # Salience and resonance of the message – the ability to influence public opinion; # Push on an open door – ethnic interest groups will be more successful if they promote policies that the government already favors; # Strength of opposition # Permeability of and access to the government – ethnic interest groups [in the context of the United States] are more likely to be successful when the policy in question requires a congressional role since it is usually more porous than the executive; # Mutually supportive relationships – while groups need policy makers to do something for them, policymakers also need the ethnic interest groups. Because of the concern of the ethnic groups for "kin" in foreign states, many ethnic interest groups focus on influencing the foreign policy of their host countries to benefit there foreign "kin" and thus act as foreign policy interest groups. ===Variable influence=== The influence of ethnic groups on the foreign policy of many states, including that of the United States, is "a reality", although these ethnic groups must "compete for influence with a plethora of other special interest groups and institutional interests." In the worst-case scenario, ethnic groups can effectively hijack the foreign policy process and use the strength of [the nation] for their parochial interests."

When the two ships involved in the UNREP conclude their transfer of fuels and stores and commence their breakaway, a song is played over the 1 Main Circuit. It was initially called 'My Father Went to Sea', before becoming more widely known as 'A Sailor Went to Sea'. ==Lyrics== A first verse of A Sailor Went To Sea goes as: :A sailor went to sea, sea, sea :To see what he could see, see, see. Loosely recorded during the sessions for the Perdition City, together with Silence Teaches You How to Sing, the EP is a subtle counterpart to the more dramatic full-length, issued in March 2000. The crew members sing "Some Veggies Went To Sea" in an attempt to entertain their passengers. The song may be selected by the captain, the officer of the deck (OOD), or the navigation officer. While saying "sea", aquatic waves are mimed with the hand; while saying "see", the hand is brought to the eye to mime a "seeing" gesture. John Chedsey, writing for Satan Stole My Teddybear, noted, “If Perdition City layed down the grid, streets, highways and zoning laws for that particular urban center, the following two EPs, Silence Teaches You How To Sing and Silencing the Singing, are two separate journeys through some of the forgotten alleyways. It is based on the 1949 best-selling book Listen to the Voices from the Sea (), a collection of letters by Japanese student soldiers killed in World War II.

What words describe all lawyers?

Other fused jurisdictions use terms such as "barrister and solicitor" or "attorney and counselor" to describe lawyers in general. Some fused-profession jurisdictions use one term to describe lawyers generally. As a result, the meaning of the term "lawyer" may vary from place to place. The authors then generalized these common complaints about lawyers as being classified into five "general categories" as follows: * abuse of litigation in various ways, including using dilatory tactics and false evidence and making frivolous arguments to the courts * preparation of false documentation, such as false deeds, contracts, or wills * deceiving clients and other persons and misappropriating property * procrastination in dealings with clients * charging excessive feesHazard, 60. (The word "lawyer" is a generic one, referring to a person who practises in law, which could also be deemed to include other legal practitioners such as chartered legal executives.) ==Origin of the profession== The work of senior legal professionals in England and Wales is divided between solicitors and barristers. That word is used either in itself or before the given name or surname. ==See also== * Ambulance chasing * Association of Pension Lawyers * Avocats Sans Frontières * Cause lawyer * Corporate lawyer * Court dress * Fiduciary * Ghost lawyer * Law broker * Lawyer-supported mediation * Legalese * List of jurists * Notary public * Privilege of the predecessors * Public defender * Rules lawyer * Shyster * Sole practitioner (lawyer) * St. Ivo of Kermartin (patron saint of lawyers) * Trainee solicitor ==References== ==External links== Category:Legal ethics Category:Legal professions Category:Law enforcement Category:Positions of authority A lawyer can be classified as an advocate, government lawyer, attorney, barrister, canon lawyer, civil law notary, counsel, counselor, solicitor, legal executive, or public servant — with each role having different functions and privileges.Henry Campbell Black, Black's Law Dictionary, 5th ed. (St. Paul: West Publishing Co., 1979), 799. Some jurisdictions have two types of lawyers, barrister and solicitors, while others fuse the two. A lawyer is a person who practices law. with a quote from Ambrose Bierce's satirical The Devil's Dictionary (1911) that summarized the noun as: "LAWYER, n. Additionally, England and Wales has a number of other classifications of lawyers, which include registered foreign lawyers, patent attorneys, trademark attorneys, licensed conveyancers, public notaries, commissioners for oaths, immigration advisers and chartered legal executives. For example, the US lawyers are typically referred to as "attorneys", while Indian and Pakistani lawyers are known as "advocates". Criminal defense lawyers are typically defending people with misdemeanor or felony charges. A criminal defense lawyer is a lawyer (mostly barristers) specializing in the defense of individuals and companies charged with criminal activity. Lawyers who practised in the courts in this way came to be called "barristers" because they were "called to the Bar", the symbolic barrier separating the public—including solicitors and law students—from those admitted to the well of the Court. Lawyers in some civil law countries traditionally deprecated "transactional law" or "business law" as beneath them. “Philadelphia lawyer” is a term to describe a lawyer who knows the most detailed and minute points of law or is an exceptionally competent lawyer. Barristers in England and Wales are one of the two main categories of lawyers in England and Wales, the other being solicitors. Nonetheless, the terminology of "barrister" and "solicitor" may still be applied to lawyers who deal in the specific kinds of work barristers and solicitors generally do. In countries like the United States, which have fused legal professions, there are trial lawyers who specialize in trying cases in court, but trial lawyers do not have a legal monopoly like barristers. Several countries that originally had two or more legal professions have since fused or united their professions into a single type of lawyer.Bastard, 299, and Hazard, 45.Harry W.

The most common distinction is to refer to these specifically as the "bestselling vehicles", as opposed to "bestselling nameplates", where sales have been achieved through perpetuation of the brand name across several unrelated generations of automobiles. Unlike traditional retail sales, car sales are sometimes negotiable. Best selling automobiles are passenger cars and light trucks which, since the introduction of the Benz Patent Motorwagen in 1886, can claim to being the highest selling vehicles in the automobile markets. This is a partial list of automobile sales by model. Such salesmen are often well aware of their occupation's negative public image. A vehicle matching scam works by people approaching owners who have put their cars up for sale in car sales publications and promising falsely to match the sellers with buyers in return for a one-off fee.

Will climate change definitely lead to human extinction?

Climate change may, thus, lead to another extinction, more silent and mostly overlooked: the extinction of species' interactions. There are several plausible pathways that could lead to an increased extinction risk from climate change. Kaiho's follow-up paper estimated that under what he considered the most likely scenario of climate change, with of warming by 2100 and by 2500 (based on the average of Representative Concentration Pathways 4.5 and 6.0), would result in 8% marine species extinctions, 16–20% terrestrial animal species extinctions, and a combined average of 12–14% animal species extinctions. The report concluded that global warming of over the preindustrial levels would threaten an estimated 5% of all the Earth's species with extinction even in the absence of the other four factors, while if the warming reached , 16% of the Earth's species would be threatened with extinction. *The Infography about Climate Change and Biodiversity ==External links== *Recent Research Shows Human Activity Driving Earth Towards Global Extinction Event (2014-06-09), Terry Root and Stuart Pimm, The Real News Network Category:Climate change and the environment Category:Effects of climate change Category:Zoology In total, 15% of ecological assemblages would have over 20% of their species abruptly disrupted if as warming eventually reaches ; in contrast, this would happen to fewer than 2% if the warming were to stay below . === Extinctions attributed to climate change === Besides Bramble Cay melomys (see below), few recorded species extinctions are thought to have been caused by climate change, as opposed to the other drivers of the Holocene extinction. Between 2005 and 2011, 74 studies analyzing the impact of climate change on various species' extinction risk were published. With regards to climate change, the experts estimated that threatens or drives to extinction about 25% of the species, although their estimates ranged from 15% to 40%. A 2022 paper found that 45% of all marine species at risk of extinction are affected by climate change, but it's currently less damaging to their survival than overfishing, transportation, urban development and water pollution. Cambridge University Press, Cambridge, United Kingdom and New York, NY, USA, pp. 221-222 |doi=10.1017/9781009325844.004 An August 2021 paper found that the The "Big Five" mass extinctions were associated with a warming of around and estimated that this level of warming over the preindustrial occurring today would also result in a mass extinction event of the same magnitude (~75% of marine animals wiped out). Using a model developed from these observed extinctions the researchers surveyed other extinctions around the world and found that the model predicted those observed extirpations, thus attributing the extirpations around the world to climate warming. These estimates included local extinctions from all causes, not just climate change: however, it was estimated to account for the majority (~62%) of extinctions, followed by secondary extinctions or coextinctions (~20%), with land use change and invasive species combined accounting for less than 20%. There is a strong scientific consensus that greenhouse effect due to carbon dioxide is a main driver of climate change. These animals are in habitats that will run out as climate change increases and global warming becomes more impactful. ==Extinction or extirpation== According to Stuart L. Pimm and his coauthors, human actions have raised species' extinction or extirpation rates to three orders of magnitude above their natural background rates.New report suggests Earth on the brink of a great extinction (2014-06-01), PBS NewsHour Pimm says, "[Scientists] predict that 400 to 500 of the world's 8500 landbird species will go extinct by 2100 with a warming estimate of 2.8 degrees Celsius. Climate change has a significant direct effect on terrestrial animals, by being a major driver of the processes of speciation and extinction. For example, only 20 of 864 species extinctions are considered by the IUCN to potentially be the result of climate change, either wholly or in part, and the evidence linking them to climate change is typically considered as weak or insubstantial. For example, only 20 of 864 species extinctions are considered by the IUCN to potentially be the result of climate change, either wholly or in part, and the evidence linking them to climate change is typically considered as weak or insubstantial. So far, climate change has not yet been a major contributor to the Holocene extinction, and nearly all of the irreversible biodiversity loss to date has been caused by other anthropogenic pressures such as habitat loss or the introduction of invasive species. Climate change affects the physical environment, ecosystems and human societies. In almost all cases, the links between extinction and climate change are highly speculative and obscured by other factors. Global warming as caused by humans is confirmed by the IPCC fourth assessment to be "very likely". From that sample, they estimated that 16% of all species could go extinct by 2070 under the "moderate" climate change scenario RCP4.5, but it could be one-third under RCP8.5, the scenario of continually increasing emissions.

Does compelling data demonstrate Trump won the election because of the impact of social media?

The use of social media in political campaigning was made popular by Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential elections and the impact of social media in deciding the 2008 presidential elections was evident in the research and analysis produced. Trump frequently utilized Twitter both during and after the 2016 presidential election, explaining that social media helped him win the primary and general elections, even though his opponents spent "much more money than [he] spent". Leading up to and following the election itself, social media was an important medium to spread disinformation about the election by both Trump and his supporters. A separate investigation into the Russian interference in the election was also conducted, and concluded with the observation that Russian intelligence agencies created fake social media accounts and bought ads on multiple social media sites in order to influence the election in favor of the eventual winner Donald Trump. Trump and his supporters used social media platforms - especially Twitter - to criticize and spread disinformation about his opponents and the validity of the election. thumb|Tweet claiming election fraud by a prominent Republican congressperson. The Clinton campaign used social media to advertise Trump's use of fake news and potential Russian intervention. Social media played an important role in shaping the course of events leading up to, during, and after the 2016 United States presidential election. At the exit polls on election day (6 November) 69% of the people who voted reportedly used social media to promote the fact that they voted at the 2012 presidential campaign. Social media was overall the second most popular source of news during the election, with 14% of all voters listing it as their main source of news. Social media has made it easier for candidates to mobilise voters and boost their electoral impact. == Background == Social media has required a reconstruction in the way political campaigns are run. Social media contributed to the spread of media power during the 2020 presidential election by giving a larger number of individuals and groups the chance to have a say in discussions and debates and add to the public narrative. The Trump presidential campaign also benefited from large numbers of supporters who were active on social media from the beginning of the campaign. From his official declaration of candidacy in 2015, Donald Trump benefited from large numbers of supporters active on social media. Facebook also announced new a new data privacy policy the same month. === Investigation into Russian interference in the election === Throughout the 2016 election, the Internet Research Agency attempted to influence the electoral outcome in favor of Donald Trump by creating large numbers of social media accounts to like, share and repost positive information on Trump and negative information on Clinton. Many argue that Clinton's loss was in part due to Trump gaining the votes of groups that do not use social media, while Clinton's audience was active on most social media platforms. The researchers at Pew research center reported that out of all the registered voters a percentage of 55% have utilised the Internet to watch videos related to the election. 22% of registered voters have used Facebook and Twitter and other social media platforms to let their family and friends know how they voted. In contrast to the previous election, the Facebook–Cambridge Analytical data scandal that was exposed after Donald Trump's electoral victory in 2016 led to tighter regulation on the harvesting of personal data for political advertising. In a testimony in front of the United States Congress, Facebook estimated that the false news reached over 126 million voters, and had a significant impact on the electoral outcome. 29 million people were reported to have seen the original posts, but comments, likes, and shares helped the information reach an additional 97 million people. == Post-election investigations == After the elections, two separate investigations were conducted into the misuse of personal data by Cambridge Analytica and alleged Russian interference in the election. Similar to the previous presidential election, social media helped shape the course of events, with candidates often hunting for 'viral moments'. This meant that people were in constant connection to the happenings of the political landscape in the US, research done by Pew Research Centre shows that the overall use of social media to convince others to vote or promote themselves as having voted increased drastically from 2008 to 2012. Trump's unique use of social media compared to other candidates garnered critical attention, as he harnessed Twitter as a platform to respond quickly to his opponents and tweet about his stance on various issues. Other than political views candidates also used social media to build a relationship with the US population.

Does achieving mastery in a sport help make you smarter in school?

Most of these studies showed that mastery learning has a positive effect on achievement, for all subjects and at all levels. Since its conception, mastery learning has empirically been demonstrated to be effective in improving education outcomes in a variety of settings. These studies also showed that there are many variables that are either affected by mastery learning or that influence it somehow: student entry variables, curriculum, type of test, pacing, level of mastery, and time. As an added advantage, Mastery Learning was also thought to create more positive interest and attitude towards the subject learned if compared with usual classroom methods. ===Related terms=== Individualized instruction has some elements in common with mastery learning, although it dispenses with group activities in favor of allowing more capable or more motivated students to progress ahead of others while maximizing teacher interaction with those students who need the most assistance. Its effectiveness is influenced by the subject being taught, whether testing is designed locally or nationally, course pace and the amount of feedback provided to students. ==Definition== Mastery learning is a set of group-based, individualized, teaching and learning strategies based on the premise that students will achieve a high level of understanding in a given domain if they are given enough time. ===Motivation=== The motivation for mastery learning comes from trying to reduce achievement gaps for students in average school classrooms. Mastery learning maintains that students must achieve a level of mastery (e.g., 90% on a knowledge test) in prerequisite knowledge before moving forward to learn subsequent information. Nonetheless, Tinning observes that sport pedagogy is now ‘firmly established as a credible academic subdiscipline’. == Sport pedagogy as a discipline and as a field of study == While research in sport pedagogy and research in the field of physical education continue to overlap,Silverman, D. (2007). Sports science can allow athletes to train and compete more effectively at home and abroad. These questions about the wider implications of mastery as a new standard raise discussion about its actual value. ==Mastery learning today== Mastery Learning has been one of the most highly investigated teaching methods over the past 50 years. Also, mastery learning brings positive affective outcomes for both students and teachers. There is also, however, a mediating effect of education between the two intelligence measures, showing how education can have a positive effect on intelligence. Mathematics mastery is an approach to mathematics education which is based on mastery learning in which most students are expected to achieve a high level of competence before progressing. As a discipline, sport pedagogy is concerned with learning, teaching and instruction in sport, physical education and related areas of physical activity.Armour, K. (Ed.)(2011). Several studies show that majority of students can achieve mastery in a learning task, but the time that they need to spend on is different.Glaser, R. (1968). Despite sharing some commonalities in terms of goals, they are built on different psychological principles. ==Learning For Mastery (LFM)== ===Variables of LFM=== Bloom, when first proposing his mastery learning strategy in 1968, was convinced that most students can attain a high level of learning capability if the following conditions are available: * instruction is approached sensitively and systematically * students are helped when and where they have learning difficulties * students are given sufficient time to achieve mastery * there is some clear criterion of what constitutes mastery. Mathematics mastery is a new way of thinking and teaching, where the whole class moves through content at the same pace and students are given time to think deeply about the maths. Intelligence and Educational Achievement. A teacher using the mastery approach will use the evidence generated from his or her assessment to modify activities to best serve each student. Would time it took to reach mastery become a new measure of success? The predictive effect of IQ on educational success is even apparent if IQ is measured before any formal education, with measured correlations of IQ at the beginning of education and educational attainment six year later correlating 0.46.Butler, S., Marsh, H., & Sheppard, J. (1985). This study also found mastery programs to be most effective for weaker students. Conversely, these dramatic effect sizes essentially disappeared when standardized tests were used to measure mastery levels in control and experimental groups ====Study duration==== There are very few studies that investigate the long- term effects of mastery learning.

Does learning music help boost your thinking?

Popular science versions of the theory make the claim that "listening to Mozart makes you smarter" or that early childhood exposure to classical music has a beneficial effect on mental development. A German report concluded, for instance, that "... passively listening to Mozart — or indeed any other music you enjoy — does not make you smarter. (Why Mozart?) where he used the music of Mozart in his efforts to "retrain" the ear, and believed that listening to the music presented at differing frequencies helped the ear, and promoted healing and the development of the brain, but his method is not directly related to claims that listening to Mozart increases intelligence. ==See also== * Baby Einstein * Music education § Significance * Psychoacoustics ==References== ==External links== *""Mozart's music does not make you smarter, study finds", Science Daily, May 10, 2010 * Dowd, Will. (2008-02-06) . The 1997 book by Don Campbell, The Mozart Effect: Tapping the Power of Music to Heal the Body, Strengthen the Mind, and Unlock the Creative Spirit, discusses the theory that listening to Mozart (especially the piano concertos) may temporarily increase one's IQ and produce many other beneficial effects on mental function. Additionally, results cannot be replicated because study data is not available and therefore does not comply with modern research standards. ==Other uses of Mozart's music== While it is clear that exposure to Mozart does not raise IQ, studies of the effects of music have explored as diverse areas as its links to seizure onset or research in animals suggesting that even exposure in-utero in rats improves their maze learning The original claim continues to influence public life. The reason for this increased interest in music is because it "provides a tool to study numerous aspects of neuroscience, from motor skill learning to emotion". ==Overview== An important technique that is used by neuroscientists in understanding the cognition of music involves understanding musical disorders. The Mozart effect is the theory that listening to the music of Mozart may temporarily boost scores on one portion of an IQ test. One major study, published in the journal Memory & Cognition, found that music enables the mind to evoke memories of the past, known as music-evoked autobiographical memories. ==Attention == Treder et al. identified neural correlates of attention when listening to simplified polyphonic music patterns. Later studies also examined music itself as a mechanism of reinforcement, such as research by Greer (1981) and Madsen (1981). ===Cognitive learning theories and music education=== Cognitive theories of learning, often viewed as the antithesis of behavioral theories,Laurie Taetle and Robert Cutietta, Learning Theories as Roots of Current Musical Practice and Research, 282. attempt to map how individual learning processes relate to already-familiar knowledge. Among these are collections of music that he states harness the Mozart effect to enhance "deep rest and rejuvenation", "intelligence and learning", and "creativity and imagination". The neuroscience of music is the scientific study of brain-based mechanisms involved in the cognitive processes underlying music. Similarly, neuroscientists have come to learn much about music cognition by studying music-specific disorders. The author of the original study has stressed that listening to Mozart has no effect on general intelligence. ==Rauscher et al. 1993 study== Frances Rauscher, Gordon Shaw, and Catherine Ky (1993) investigated the effect of listening to music by Mozart on spatial reasoning, and the results were published in Nature. Many scholars in the psychological community now view the claim that playing classical music to children can boost their intelligence to be a "myth." But more studies should be done to find out whether music lessons could raise your child's IQ in the long term". Among children, some studies suggest no effect on IQ or spatial ability, whereas others suggest that the effect can be elicited with energetic popular music that the children enjoy. If there is sufficient exposure to music, musical understanding will occur through enculturation rather than formal training."Laurie Taetle and Robert Cutietta, Learning Theories as Roots of Current Musical Practice and Research, 283. The ability to process information musically supports the idea of an implicit musical ability in the human brain. The use of music has been essential in helping children who struggle with focus, anxiety, and cognitive function by using music in therapeutic way. Bulletin of the Council for Research in Music Education, No. 184 (2010): 54–54. and experimental research by Haston (2004) and Musco (2006) also suggest that spending classroom time playing by ear does not negatively impact students' abilities to develop music reading skills.Ann Marie Musco, "Playing by Ear: Is Expert Opinion Supported by Research?" Emotions induced by music activate similar frontal brain regions compared to emotions elicited by other stimuli. Emory University psychologist Scott Lilienfeld ranks Mozart Effect as number six in his book 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology. ===Health benefits=== Music has been evaluated to see if it has other properties.

Does learning foreign languages improve your critical thinking?

Improved theory of mind, which is the ability to understand someone else's thinking, has also been implicated in bilingualism. Being bilingual has been linked to a number of cognitive benefits. A meta- analysis in 2018 found that bilingual children performed better on a theory of mind test compared to monolingual children. == Benefits in older age == There has been a growing research interest in the benefits of bilingualism against age-related cognitive decline. These learning strategies also assist learners in areas outside of language learning, such as video gaming, strategy categorizing, and critical thinking. ==References== ==Further reading== *Cohen, A. & Macaro, E (2007). Furthermore, it is advantageous for young children to grow up bilingually because they do not need to be taught systematically but learn languages intuitively. Studies that match age and background factors like SES have found that bilinguals, who experience the mental demands of learning multiple languages, may have greater executive control and experience other cognitive benefits than their monolingual peers. Since the late 1970s, researchers have found more cognitive benefits of bilingualism, including better attention, task- switching, and protection against aging declines. Some learning strategies include methods that facilitate lowering the learner's language anxiety, therefore improving their confidence in using the language. Following this study, several others were formed to test similar things and find out more about the mental abilities of bilinguals with relation to their languages. === Semantic development === Anita Ianco-Worrall, author of Bilingualism and Cognitive Development, designed a study to test Leopold's observations and was able to replicate them. The influence of bilingualism on cognitive growth: a synthesis of research findings and explanatory hypotheses. Adults who learned a second language at a young age show better control and inhibitory processing than monolingual adults, as well as greater protection from cognitive decline such as dementia. The critical period hypothesis or sensitive period hypothesis claims that there is an ideal time window of brain development to acquire language in a linguistically rich environment, after which further language acquisition becomes much more difficult and effortful. Research on how a bilingual individual's first language (L1) and second language (L2) interact shows that both languages have an influence on the function of one another and on cognitive function outside of language. Thus, these findings have contributed to the debate on critical period hypothesis and bilingual dominance. ====Age effects on grammar learning==== Most studies into age effects on specific aspects of SLA have focused on grammar, with the common conclusion that it is highly constrained by age, more so than semantic functioning. compared attainment of French learners in early and late immersion programs. Some writers have argued that the critical period hypothesis does not apply to SLA, and that second-language proficiency is determined by the time and effort put into the learning process, and not the learner's age. observed that factors other than age may be even more significant in successful second-language learning, such as personal motivation, anxiety, input and output skills, and the learning environment. Conversely, the bilinguals' neural imaging showed more gray matter density. == Age of acquisition == A debate within the linguistic community is whether the age of acquiring one's L2 has effects on the cognitive advantages. Their results showed that Chinese-English bilinguals who had been exposed to English after puberty, learned vocabulary to a higher competence level than syntactic aspects of language. Below are some notable researchers in language acquisition listed by intellectual orientation and research topic. ==Experimental and observational studies== How children acquire native language (L1) and the relevance of this to foreign language (L2) learning has long been debated. David Singleton states that in learning a second language, "younger = better in the long run", but points out that there are many exceptions, noting that five percent of adult bilinguals master a second language even though they begin learning it when they are well into adulthood—long after any critical period has presumably come to a close. For this reason, the researchers of this study hypothesized that it may be the switching between languages that gives unimodal bilinguals the advantage. ===== Bilingualism vs. executive control ===== Hakuta and Diaz addressed an origin question about the potential bilingual advantage: do children with greater cognitive abilities tend to learn more than one language, or could knowing more than one language contribute to enhanced cognition? Research on executive functions like working memory, perception, and attentional and inhibitory control, suggests that bilinguals can benefit from significant cognitive advantages over monolingual peers in various settings.

Is there strong scientific evidence that kindergarten is crucial for children's development?

Kindergarten readiness requires development in both. Recent studies in Australia have suggested that children know much more mathematics than kindergarten teachers would expect upon beginning kindergarten. An important factor that contributes to how well a child adapts to the Kindergarten environment is his/her relationship with the teacher. Therefore, parents play an important role concerning their child's readiness for the kindergarten classroom. The preschool age marks a time of rapid development of inhibitory control, and not surprisingly, plays an important role in children's adjustment to kindergarten. For example, parents have many roles in preparing children for kindergarten, including providing the child with proper nutrition, health care, and opportunity for growth. Therefore, preschool children, including those entering kindergarten, should have a sense of quantitative reasoning. Sensory developmental milestones are also used as indicators of kindergarten readiness. Inhibitory control is important in many aspects of kindergarten readiness but is particularly relevant to children's academic outcomes. Therefore, particular emphasis is usually placed upon the development of literacy skills for preschool and kindergarten students to prepare them for the future. Children in classrooms whose teachers’ received the intervention showed better self- regulation, fewer behavior problems, and better academic skills compared to children in classrooms whose teachers had not received the training. == Motor and sensory development == Upon entering kindergarten, most children should have passed certain developmental milestones in their motor and sensory development. Although social and emotional skills are sometimes not included in definitions of Kindergarten readiness, focus groups surveys indicate that teachers often advocate that developed social skills are more important than academic skills as children enter school. It is also important to rule out physical problems (hearing and vision) as they may present themselves as an attention problem but can be easily remedied with heading or visual aid == At-risk children == There are four key risk factors that are associated with educational disadvantages upon entry into kindergarten in the United States. As such, children entering kindergarten can walk, run, jump, and climb and are developing control of their bodies. This is likely because upon entering kindergarten, academic skills—such as literacy and numeracy—predict later academic success. === Reading === Reading is an important skill, as reading ability during primary school predicts academic achievement and later success. Oral language is of particular importance for children entering kindergarten as it is a predictor and necessary requirement of literacy development (Hill, 2011). In general, however, children entering kindergarten are expected to understand instructions and communications from adults and peers (Pivik, 2012). Fine motor skills upon entering kindergarten are associated with academic performance in reading and writing in later grades (QLSCD 1998-2010), as well as academic achievement in mathematics.Pivik, Jayne (2012). Upon entering kindergarten, children should also be able to recognize their own name in print, know how to handle a book, recognize letters, and identify words that rhyme. thumb| American Kindergarten students listening during story time Kindergarten readiness refers to the developmental domains that contribute to children's ability to adapt to the kindergarten classroom, which is often a new and unfamiliar environment. The development of these skills provides them with the tools to navigate the social context of a kindergarten classroom. It does consider it significant to the history of education at a national level, because Schurz's school in Watertown was the first kindergarten in the U.S. Mention has been made of two attempts to found kindergartens, perhaps as early as 1849-1850, in Belleville, Illinois.

Is it better for you to eat gluten-free bread most of the time?

Gluten-free breads are made using flours from a variety of ingredients such as almonds, rice, sorghum, corn, legumes such as beans, and tubers such as cassava. In some cases, the popularity of the gluten- free diet may harm people who must eliminate gluten for medical reasons. On the other hand, the popularity of the gluten-free diet has increased the availability of commercial gluten-free replacement products and gluten-free grains. Although gluten is highly immunologically reactive and humans appear not to have evolved to digest it well, a gluten-free diet is not a healthier option for the general population, other than people with gluten-related disorders or other associated conditions which improve with a gluten-free diet in some cases, such as irritable bowel syndrome and certain autoimmune and neurological disorders. In addition, fructans used in the study were extracted from chicory root, so it remains to be seen whether the wheat fructans produce the same effect. == Eating gluten-free == thumb|200px|Gluten-free bread made of a mixture of flours like buckwheat flour, tapioca flour, millet flour and psyllium seed husks. In addition, a gluten-free diet may, in at least some cases, improve gastrointestinal or systemic symptoms in diseases like irritable bowel syndrome, rheumatoid arthritis, or HIV enteropathy, among others. Though the food is labeled gluten-free in this way, it does not necessarily mean that the food is safe for those with gluten- related disorders, as a compilation of studies suggest. A gluten-free diet is a diet that strictly excludes gluten, proteins present in wheat (and all wheat varieties such as spelt and kamut), barley, rye, oat, and derivatives of these grains such as malt and triticale, and foods that may include them, or shared transportation or processing facilities with them. In a 2018 double-blind, crossover research study on 59 persons on a gluten-free diet with challenges of gluten, fructans or placebo, intestinal symptoms (specifically bloating) were borderline significantly higher after challenge with fructans, in comparison with gluten proteins (P=0.049). The proposed scenario was actually that patients could still be prescribed gluten-free breads and mixes but would have to buy any other gluten-free products themselves. Data from a 2015 Nielsen survey of 30,000 adults in 60 countries around the world conclude that 21% of people prefer to buy gluten-free foods, being the highest interest among the younger generations. Advances towards higher nutrition-content gluten-free bakery products, improved for example in terms of fiber content and glycemic index, have been made by using not exclusively corn starch or other starches to substitute for flour. In the US, it was estimated that more than half of people who buy foods labeled gluten-free do not have a clear reaction to gluten, and they do so "because they think it will help them lose weight, because they seem to feel better or because they mistakenly believe they are sensitive to gluten." While bread can be made from all- purpose wheat flour, a specialty bread flour, containing more protein (12–14%), is recommended for high-quality bread. Replacing flour from wheat or other gluten-containing cereals with gluten-free flours in commercial products may lead to a lower intake of important nutrients, such as iron and B vitamins and a higher intake of sugars and saturated fats. Whole grain bread is a good source of dietary fiber and all breads are a common source of protein in the diet, though not a rich one.Dietary Guidelines for Americans 2010 . If one uses a flour with a lower protein content (9–11%) to produce bread, a shorter mixing time is required to develop gluten strength properly. These contribute additional sweeteners, fats, or leavening components, as well as water. ===Fats or shortenings=== Fats, such as butter, vegetable oils, lard, or that contained in eggs, affect the development of gluten in breads by coating and lubricating the individual strands of protein. The inclusion of oats in a gluten-free diet remains controversial, and may depend on the oat cultivar and the frequent cross- contamination with other gluten-containing cereals. Glutenin and gliadin are functional proteins found in wheat bread that contribute to the structure of bread. Ongoing gluten intake can cause severe disease complications, such as various types of cancers (both intestinal and extra-intestinal) and osteoporosis. == Regulation and labels== The term gluten-free is generally used to indicate a supposed harmless level of gluten rather than a complete absence. Other grains, although gluten-free in themselves, may contain gluten by cross-contamination with gluten-containing cereals during grain harvesting, transporting, milling, storing, processing, handling or cooking.

Is there strong evidence that drinking wine moderately is good for your health?

Nearly all research into the positive medical benefits of wine consumption makes a distinction between moderate consumption and heavy or binge drinking. The health effects of wine are mainly determined by its active ingredient alcohol. Studies of the long- and Short-term effects of alcohol consumption caused many in the medical community to reconsider the role of wine in medicine and diet. Wine continued to play a major role in medicine until the late 19th and early 20th century, when changing opinions and medical research on alcohol and alcoholism cast doubt on its role as part of a healthy lifestyle. ==Moderate consumption== left|thumb|Some doctors define "moderate" consumption as one 5 oz (150 ml) glass of wine per day for women and two glasses per day for men. Preliminary studies found that drinking small quantities of wine (up to one standard drink per day for women and one to two drinks per day for men), particularly of red wine, may be associated with a decreased risk of cardiovascular diseases, cognitive decline, stroke, diabetes mellitus, metabolic syndrome, and early death. Better health outcomes among moderate drinkers that some studies reported may be due to the moderate alcohol consumption itself but they may also instead be caused by "other differences in behaviors or genetics between people who drink moderately and people who don't". A 2012 study found no relation between wine consumption and bone mineral density. ===Cancer=== The International Agency for Research on Cancer of the World Health Organization has classified alcohol as a Group 1 carcinogen. ===Cardiovascular system=== Professional cardiology associations recommend that people who are currently nondrinkers should abstain from drinking alcohol. As these social and psychological factors also correlate with health outcomes, they represent a plausible explanation for at least some of the apparent health benefits of wine. However, few studies or guidelines distinguish between or compare "moderate consumption" patterns (i.e. frequency, timing and dosage/intensity per session) of occasional drinking and daily drinking. Most wines have an alcohol by volume (ABV) percentage of about 11%; the higher the ABV, the higher the energy content of a wine. ===Psychological and social=== Danish epidemiological studies suggest that a number of psychological health benefits are associated with drinking wine. However, moderate wine drinking has been shown to lower the risk for depression. Health effects of alcohol may refer to: * Alcohol and health * Alcohol intoxication * Short-term effects of alcohol consumption * Long-term effects of alcohol consumption * Health effects of wine Data from one prospective study suggest that, among men with initially low alcohol consumption ( Despite epidemiological evidence, many have cautioned against recommendations for the use of alcohol for health benefits. One review showed that among drinkers (not limited to moderate consumption levels), daily drinking in comparison to non-daily drinking was associated with incidence of liver cirrhosis. ===Harmful physiological effects=== Emerging evidence suggests that "even drinking within the recommended limits may increase the overall risk of death from various causes, such as from several types of cancer". Another study concluded, "Findings suggest that wine intake, especially red wine, may have a protective effect against common cold. Guidelines in the US and the UK advise that if people choose to drink, they should drink moderately. There should be future research into the validity of whether or not individuals who regularly consume wine have higher IQ scores in comparison to those who drink beer. ==Heavy metals== In 2008, researchers from Kingston University in London discovered red wineThe sample wine was declared to be "a Shiraz from Southeast Australia", although no specific vintage, producer or wine region was stated in the report. to contain high levels of toxic metals relative to other beverages in the sample. Regular wine consumption being an indicator of higher intelligence while beer being an indicator of low intelligence according to Mortensen et al. (2009) should be looked at with a very critical lens. However, more research should be conducted as to the relationship between wine consumption and IQ along with the apparent correlations between beer drinkers and wine drinkers and how they are different psychologically. Some experts define "moderate consumption" as less than one glass of wine per day for women and two glasses per day for men. The Greek physician Hippocrates considered wine a part of a healthy diet, and advocated its use as a disinfectant for wounds, as well as a medium in which to mix other drugs for consumption by the patient. In regards to psychological functioning, personality, and other health-related behaviors, the study found wine drinkers to operate at optimal levels while beer drinkers performed below optimal levels.

Are organic food and non-organic food equally healthy?

Additionally, there is evidence that organic produce is drier than conventionally grown produce; a higher content in any chemical category may be explained by higher concentration rather than in absolute amounts. ===Nutrients=== Many people believe that organic foods have higher content of nutrients and thus are healthier than conventionally produced foods. A 2020 study on marketing processed organic foods shows that, after much growth in the fresh organic foods sector, consumers have started to buy processed organic foods, which they sometime perceive to be just as healthy or even healthier than the non-organic version – depending on the marketing message. ===Taste=== There is no good evidence that organic food tastes better than its non-organic counterparts. In addition, studies that suggest that organic foods may be healthier than conventional foods face significant methodological challenges, such as the correlation between organic food consumption and factors known to promote a healthy lifestyle. From the perspective of science and consumers, there is insufficient evidence in the scientific and medical literature to support claims that organic food is either substantially safer or healthier to eat than conventional food. When the American Academy of Pediatrics reviewed the literature on organic foods in 2012, they found that "current evidence does not support any meaningful nutritional benefits or deficits from eating organic compared with conventionally grown foods, and there are no well-powered human studies that directly demonstrate health benefits or disease protection as a result of consuming an organic diet." Claims that "organic food tastes better" are generally not supported by tests, but consumers often perceive organic food produce like fruits and vegetables to taste better. Organic foods are foods that are produced using methods of organic farming – that do not involve modern synthetic inputs such as synthetic pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Consumers purchase organic foods for different reasons, including concerns about the effects of conventional farming practices on the environment, human health, and animal welfare. Organic Marketing Report and have fueled increased demand for organic food despite higher prices and difficulty in confirming these claimed benefits scientifically.Dangour AD et al. (2009) Nutritional quality of organic foods: a systematic review The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition 92(1) 203–210Canavari, M., Asioli, D., Bendini, A., Cantore, N., Gallina Toschi, T., Spiller, A., Obermowe, T., Buchecker, K. and Lohmann, M. (2009). A 2011 literature review found that organic foods had a higher micronutrient content overall than conventionally produced foods. The most important reason for purchasing organic foods seems to be beliefs about the products' health-giving properties and higher nutritional value. As of 2012, the scientific consensus is that while "consumers may choose to buy organic fruit, vegetables and meat because they believe them to be more nutritious than other food.... the balance of current scientific evidence does not support this view." Organic agriculture has higher production costs and lower yields, higher labor costs, and higher consumer prices as compared to conventional farming methods. ==Meaning, history and origin of the term== For the vast majority of its history, agriculture can be described as having been organic; only during the 20th century was a large supply of new products, generally deemed not organic, introduced into food production. USA research has found that women, young adults, liberals, and college graduates were significantly more likely to buy organic food regularly when compared to men, older age groups, people of different political affiliations, and less educated individuals. Organic food may also be more appealing to people who follow other restricted diets. However, the same paper noted that a shift from conventional to organic practices would likely be beneficial for long-term efficiency and ecosystem services, and probably improve soil over time. ==Health and safety== There is little scientific evidence of benefit or harm to human health from a diet high in organic food, and conducting any sort of rigorous experiment on the subject is very difficult. Organic food, ecological food, or biological food are foods and drinks produced by methods complying with the standards of organic farming. Organic food culture refers to a recent social and cultural trend in which there has been an increased interest in organic food due to the rise of media coverage on health, food safety, and environmental dangers of pesticides. Organic Production and Food Quality: A Down to Earth Analysis. Processed organic foods vary in price when compared to their conventional counterparts. Foods claiming to be organic must be free of artificial food additives, and are often processed with fewer artificial methods, materials and conditions, such as chemical ripening, food irradiation, and genetically modified ingredients. In 2014, consumption was up to about $35 billion per year and it is estimated that organic foods have become more commonplace since then.

Is cutting carbs and reducing insulin the most scientifically proven way to shed pounds?

According to the carbohydrate–insulin model, low-carbohydrate diets would be the most effective in causing long-term weight loss. Available evidence does not support the existence of a long-term advantage in weight loss for low- carbohydrate diets. ==References== Category:Obesity As weight loss depends on calorie intake, different kinds of calorie-reduced diets, such as those emphasising particular macronutrients (low-fat, low-carbohydrate, etc.), have been shown to be no more effective than one another. There is some evidence that these diets results in considerable weight loss. A meta-analysis of six randomized controlled trials found no difference between low-calorie, low- carbohydrate, and low-fat diets in terms of short-term weight loss, with a 2–4 kilogram weight loss over 12–18 months in all studies. Carb counting for fixed insulin dosage is done in the same manner as carbohydrate counting without insulin. Weight loss is the main treatment for obesity, and there is substantial evidence this can prevent progression from prediabetes to type 2 diabetes with a 7-10% weight loss and manage cardiometabolic health for diabetic people with a 5-15% weight loss. Dietary management of carbohydrate consumed is one tool used to help optimize blood sugar levels. == Carbohydrate content of foods == Carbohydrate is found in a number of foods including fruits, starchy vegetables (such as peas, potatoes, and corn), grains, milk and yogurt, legumes, and desserts. Gluten-free diets are often used for weight loss but little has been studied about the efficacy of this diet and metabolic mechanism for its effectiveness is unclear. # Reducing food waste. ==Effectiveness== Several diets are effective for short-term weight loss for obese individuals, with diet success most predicted by adherence and little effect resulting from the type or brand of diet. A low-fat, plant-based diet has been found to improve control of weight, blood sugar levels, and cardiovascular health. ===Low-carbohydrate=== ===Low-calorie=== Low-calorie diets usually produce an energy deficit of 500–1,000 calories per day, which can result in a weight loss per week. According to Harvard Health, the idea of metabolic rate being the "key to weight" is "part truth and part myth" as while metabolism does affect weight loss, external forces such as diet and exercise have an equal effect. Weight loss in individuals who are overweight or obese can reduce health risks, increase fitness, and may delay the onset of diabetes. Some limited evidence suggests various health benefits and effective weight loss with this diet. Robert Coleman Atkins (October 17, 1930 April 17, 2003) was an American physician and cardiologist, best known for the Atkins Diet, which requires close control of carbohydrate consumption and emphasizes protein and fat as the primary sources of dietary calories in addition to a controlled number of carbohydrates from vegetables. The effects of decreased serum glucose and depleted hepatic glycogen causing the body to switch to ketogenic metabolism are similar to the effects of reduced carbohydrate-based diets. Some guidelines recommend dieting to lose weight for people with weight-related health problems, but not for otherwise healthy people. The scientific soundness of commercial diets by commercial weight management organizations varies widely, being previously non-evidence-based, so there is only limited evidence supporting their use, because of high attrition rates. Some studies have found that, on average, short-term dieting results in a "meaningful" long-term weight-loss, although limited because of gradual 1 to 2 kg/year weight regain. Recent evidence suggest that new scheduling strategies, such as intermittent fasting or skipping meals, and strategically placed snacks before meals, may be recommendable to reduce cardiovascular risks as part of a broader lifestyle and dietary change. ===Food diary=== A 2008 study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine showed that dieters who kept a daily food diary (or diet journal), lost twice as much weight as those who did not keep a food log, suggesting that if a person records their eating, they are more aware of what they consume and therefore eat fewer calories. ===Water=== A 2009 review found limited evidence suggesting that encouraging water consumption and substituting energy-free beverages for energy-containing beverages (i.e., reducing caloric intake) may facilitate weight management. Both can be effective at limiting the intake of food energy by reducing the size of the stomach, but as with any surgical procedure both come with their own risks that should be considered in consultation with a physician. === Weight loss industry === There is a substantial market for products which claim to make weight loss easier, quicker, cheaper, more reliable, or less painful. While dieting can effectively promote weight loss in the short term, the intervention is hard to maintain over time and suppresses skeletal muscle thermogenesis.

None of the above

Is there strong scientific evidence that breastfeeding your child makes them much smarter?

Since mother's IQ was predictive of whether a child was breastfed, the study concluded that "breast feeding [itself] has little or no effect on intelligence in children." The results indicated that mother's IQ, not breastfeeding, explained the differences in the IQ scores of offspring measured between ages 5 and 14. Recently, however, the longstanding belief that breastfeeding causes an increase in the IQ of offspring was challenged in a 2006 paper published in the British Medical Journal. One study found that breastfeeding was linked to raised IQ (as much as 7 points when not controlling for maternal IQ) if the infants had an SNP coding for a "C" rather than G base within the FADS2 gene. Instead, it was the mother's IQ that had a significant correlation with the IQ of her offspring, whether the offspring was breastfed or was not breastfed. Other studies have failed to replicate any correlation between the FADS2 gene, breastfeeding and IQ, while others show a negative effect on IQ when combining bottled feeding, and the "G" version of FADS2. === Infancy === Two studies in Chile on 18-year-old high-school graduates found that nutritional status during the first year of life affected IQ, scholastic achievement, and brain volume. === Micronutrients and vitamin deficiencies === Micronutrient deficiencies (e.g. in iodine and iron) influence the development of intelligence and remain a problem in the developing world. On the other hand, while increases in IQ were observed, the best predictor of intellectual and academic achievement was still maternal IQ, which consistently explained twice the variance than that of the next best predictor. Research indicates breastfeeding may have positive effects on the mother's and child's mental health, though there have been conflicting studies that question the correlation and causation of breastfeeding and maternal mental health. Since SES correlates with IQ, this may have hidden an effect caused by the undernutrition. === Breastfeeding === Studies often find higher IQ in children and adults who were breastfed. The exact nature of the relationship between breastfeeding and some aspects of mental health is still unclear to scientists. Child Development, 65, 1080–1094. measuring a range of family background characteristics they found that maternal IQ was a stronger predictor of children's test scores than any other family characteristics, including socioeconomic status. Developmental Psychology, 42, 514-532 It is important, however, to tease out the extent to which they influence one another. ===Parental IQ and Education=== The relationship between IQ and academic performance has been shown to extend to one's children. For example, Britton and colleagues (2006) did not find a significant association between breastfeeding and mother-infant bonding but found that mothers displaying more sensitivity were more likely to breastfeed than bottlefeed. Using the Minnesota Twin Family Study, they investigated the genetic and environmental influences on intelligence and school performance. Those with the "G" version showed no IQ advantage, suggesting a biochemical interaction of child's genes on the effect of breastfeeding. Typically if maternal and paternal IQ is high, it is very likely for the child to have a high IQ as well. Another study was conducted by Campbell and Ramey to test the socioeconomic effect on intelligence and it showed promising results for children at high risk of academic failure when there was an early intervention.Campbell, F., & Ramey, C. (1994). The results showed promising improvements in IQ suggesting early intervention is important in ensuring children have the best chance of success, and socioeconomic status affects the IQ of children. Breastfeeding decreases this inflammation response which is beneficial to the mother's mental health. == Breastfeeding and child's mental health == === Social and emotional health and development === Breastfeeding is associated with improved social and emotional health and development of the child. Maternal IQ predicted around 10% of the variance, with the only other consistent predictor being ‘home scale scores’, which measured the intellectual stimulation of the home environment, and predicted around 2% of the variance. There is also, however, a mediating effect of education between the two intelligence measures, showing how education can have a positive effect on intelligence. This demonstrates that while education and socioeconomic status influence IQ, it is still parental IQ that exert the strongest predictive effects. ===Future Outcomes and Education=== Research has found that education is important in reaching high level jobs,Gottfredson, L. (1997).

Can you get addicted to heroin after trying it once?

For some people, addiction becomes chronic, with periodic relapses even after long periods of abstinence. An addictive drug is a drug which is both rewarding and reinforcing. Prescription drug addiction is the chronic, repeated use of a prescription drug in ways other than prescribed for, including using someone else’s prescription. As a chronic, relapsing disease, addiction may require continued treatments to increase the intervals between relapses and diminish their intensity. The ultimate goal of addiction treatment is to enable an individual to manage their substance misuse; for some this may mean abstinence. Treatments for addiction vary widely according to the types of drugs involved, amount of drugs used, duration of the drug addiction, medical complications and the social needs of the individual. Key pharmacological factors associated with drug addiction include: * high frequency of drug use * high doses administered * rapid rate of onset of action * high drug potency * co- ingestion of psychoactive substances with similar (eg. sedatives and alcohol) or different pharmacological profiles (eg. stimulants and nicotine) can result in additional reinforcement of addiction. ===Over-prescription and doctor shopping=== Health practitioners can prescribe drugs in a number of ways that inadvertently and unintentionally contribute to prescription drug abuse.. Addiction may also deteriorate academic or work performance and worsen relationships. ==Diagnosis== ===Signs and symptoms=== The signs and symptoms of opioids addiction include decreased body temperature and blood pressure, constipation, decreased sex drive, euphoria and others. Substance dependence, also known as drug dependence, is a biopsychological situation whereby an individual's functionality is dependent on the necessitated re-consumption of a psychoactive substance because of an adaptive state that has developed within the individual from psychoactive substance consumption that results in the experience of withdrawal and that necessitates the re-consumption of the drug. Addicted, which is officially trademarked as addicted, is an American reality television series that follows the lives of individuals who are struggling with addiction as they work with interventionist Kristina Wandzilak. Compulsive and repetitive use may result in tolerance to the effect of the drug and withdrawal symptoms when use is reduced or stopped. However, many people did become addicted to morphine. Each case of addiction is unique and addiction psychiatrists must cater to each individual patient.National Institute on Drug Abuse, "Health Effects", December 2012, "",2/15/13 Addiction psychiatrists must recognize the numerous factors that tie into each individual's struggle with an addiction. Many different ideas circulate regarding what is considered a successful outcome in the recovery from addiction. A drug addiction, a distinct concept from substance dependence, is defined as compulsive, out-of-control drug use, despite negative consequences. Treatments and attitudes toward addiction vary widely among different countries. Addiction medicine is a medical subspecialty that deals with the diagnosis, prevention, evaluation, treatment, and recovery of persons with addiction, of those with substance-related and addictive disorders, and of people who show unhealthy use of substances including alcohol, nicotine, prescription medicine and other illicit and licit drugs. At the time, the prevailing medical opinion was that the addiction process occurred in the stomach, and thus it was hypothesized that patients would not become addicted to morphine if it was injected into them via a hypodermic needle, and it was further hypothesized that this might potentially be able to cure opium addiction. Other countries, particularly in Europe, argue the aims of treatment for drug dependence are more complex, with treatment aims including reduction in use to the point that drug use no longer interferes with normal activities such as work and family commitments; shifting the addict away from more dangerous routes of drug administration such as injecting to safer routes such as oral administration; reduction in crime committed by drug addicts; and treatment of other comorbid conditions such as AIDS, hepatitis and mental health disorders. Addiction psychiatry can also be a method of recovery for those who have been unable to manage their substance use disorder without prior success.Cedars-Sinai, "Addiction Psychiatry Program", 2013, "", 2/2/13National Institute on Drug Abuse, "Health Effects", December 2012, "", 2/15/13Canadian Psychiatric Association, "What do psychiatrists do?", 2012, " ", 2/15/13 == See also == * American Academy of Addiction Psychiatry * Addiction Medicine * Addiction psychology ==References== ==External links== * *Addiction and Substance Use Disorders Category:Substance-related disorders The substances covered often have very different addictive properties. Physicians specializing in the field are in general agreement concerning applicability of treatment to those with addiction to drugs, such as alcohol and heroin, and often also to gambling, which has similar characteristics and has been well-described in the scientific literature.

How can I sober up quickly if I drink too much?

Whatever the numerical definition used, heavy drinking or rapid consumption over a short period of time with the intention of becoming intoxicated is often implied when the term is used colloquially, since four or five drinks consumed over the course of a whole day and as an accompaniment to meals will not have the same effects as the same amount consumed over a couple of hours on an empty stomach. Frequent binge drinking can lead to brain damage faster and more severely than chronic drinking (alcoholism). Sober usually refers to sobriety, the state of not having any measurable levels or effects from alcohol or drugs. One study found that humans who drank at least 100 drinks (male) or 80 drinks (female) per month (concentrated to 21 occasions or less per month) throughout a three-year period had impaired decision-making skills compared to non-binge drinkers. This typically happens when men consume five or more drinks, and when women consume four or more drinks, in about two hours."Fact Sheets - Binge Drinking CDC.gov, last updated 16 October 2015; URL accessed 17 March 2017 and estimated that about 16% of American adults met these criteria at least four times per month. Heavy drinking is associated with liver disease, such as cirrhosis. One 2001 definition from the publication Psychology of Addictive Behavior states that five drinks for men and four drinks for women must be consumed on one occasion at least once in a two-week period for it to be classed as binge drinking. According to another study, drinkers with heavy drinking occasions (six or more drinks at a time) have a 57% higher all-cause mortality than drinkers without heavy drinking occasions. There is some evidence that interventions by employers such as, health and lifestyle checks, psychosocial skills training and peer referral, can reduce the level of binge drinking. With prolonged abstinence neurogenesis occurs which can potentially reverse the damage from alcohol abuse. == Definitions == Stolle, Sack and Thomasius define binge drinking as episodic excessive drinking.Compare: There is currently no worldwide consensus on how many drinks constitute a "binge", but in the United States, the term has been described in academic research to mean consuming five or more standard drinks (male), or four or more drinks (female), over a two-hour period. Binge drinking, or heavy episodic drinking, is drinking alcoholic beverages with an intention of becoming intoxicated by heavy consumption of alcohol over a short period of time, but definitions (see below) vary considerably. For people who drank two or fewer drinks per day, no difference was found. ===Cardiomyopathy=== Large amounts of alcohol over the long term can lead to alcoholic cardiomyopathy. Drinking more than this amount actually increases the risk of heart disease, high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation, and stroke. Compulsive drinking may refer to: * Psychogenic polydipsia - compulsive drinking of water in the absence of physiological stimuli * Potomania - compulsive drinking of beer * Dipsomania - historical term for the compulsive drinking of alcohol * Binge drinking An alternative colloquial term for binge drinking, "going on a bender", formerly implied a drinking spree of several days. Binge drinking has negative effects on metabolism, lipid profile, blood coagulation and fibrinolysis, blood pressure and vascular tone and is associated with embolic stroke and acute myocardial infarction. Binge drinking is more common in males, during adolescence and young adulthood. Heavy and regular binge drinking during adolescence is associated with an increased risk of alcoholism. The more often a child or adolescent binge drinks and the younger they are the more likely that they will develop an alcohol use disorder including alcoholism. A sobering center is a facility or setting providing short-term (4-12 hour) recovery and recuperation from the effects of acute alcohol or drug intoxication. Binge drinking increases the risk of stroke by 10 times. Impulse control is also impaired in binge drinkers, especially female binge drinkers.

Book burning is one of the original types of censorship dating back to 213 BCE. Governments have also sought to ban certain books which they perceive to contain material that could threaten, embarrass, or criticize them.

Specific types of bear suits are also used in activism, such as polar bear suits to draw attention to the threat of global warming. The first bear suits worn by humans were used in shamanic ritual practices by native peoples. Lightweight coats, rain suits, parkas, and other tactical clothing (in OD) is also issued to deal with different weather conditions. ====History==== Until the early 1960s, the Army battle dress uniform was worn both on parades and in combat. Military issue winter clothing evolved from heavy coats and jackets to multilayered clothing for the purpose of keeping troops warm during winter battles. Boots, hats, jackets, ponchos, and coats designed to protect from rain and snow are specialized clothing items. However, an officer's bearskin is made from the fur of the Canadian brown bear, as the female brown bear has thicker, fuller fur; officers' caps are dyed black. Some clothing protects from specific hazards, such as insects, toxic chemicals, weather, weapons, and contact with abrasive substances. * Field combat clothing: Worn by all army and air force personnel, as well as navy personnel assigned to army or air force units. The present Royal Escort Unit wears the pre–1914 full dress uniform of the defunct Gendarmerie, including its bearskin cap. ===Canada=== The bearskin caps used by the Canadian Armed Forces are of black fur and include a coloured plume on the side of the bearskin and a gold-coloured chin strap. Clothing protects against many things that might injure or irritate the naked human body, including rain, snow, wind, and other weather, as well as from the sun. Winter clothes are especially outerwear like coats, jackets, hats, scarves and gloves or mittens, earmuffs, but also warm underwear like long underwear, union suits and socks. Before its retirement, the bearskin was worn by select members of the corps, and included a red plume. ==Contemporary use== As of 2020, there were 14 countries whose militaries used bearskin as a part of their ceremonial uniforms. The following units and their bands have the bearskin cap as part of their full dress: *Grenadier Guards *Coldstream Guards *Scots Guards *Irish Guards *Welsh Guards *Royal Scots Dragoon Guards *Honourable Artillery Company Along with these units, officers of fusilier regiments are also authorised to wear the bearskin as part of their ceremonial uniform.

As of 2008 there were an estimated 800 dog bakeries in the United States. typically relates to the question of ownership of a pet in the event of a divorce or breakup. The first dog bakery was created in 1989 by a Kansas City couple who had been baking for their sick dog in an attempt to get her to eat. Some dog bakeries carry specialty pastries and treats especially for dogs with allergies, dietary needs, or bad breath. As a general trend consumers in the US have become more concerned about the ingredients in their own food, and this has made some more concerned about their pets' food too, including concerns over the ingredients and additives in commercially produced pet treats. ==References== Category:Pet foods Category:Bakeries As of 2017 there were online dog bakeries.

What happens if you step on the cracks in the pavement?

Different types of pavements develop different cracks. Sometimes the cracks are aggregated using an index such as Crack index, and sometimes they are merged with other distresses and are reported using Pavement Condition Index. == Types of cracking == Some of the most important types of crack are as follows: * Crocodile cracking, also known as alligator cracking and fatigue cracking * Block cracking (caused by shrinkage of asphalt) * Longitudinal cracking—wheel path * Longitudinal cracking—non-wheel path * Transverse cracking * Reflection cracking at joints * Edge cracking (caused because of poor drainage or lack of support at the edge) * Slippage cracking == References == Category:Pavement distress Category:Pavements Category:Pavement engineering Due to the repeated stress concentration, a crack starts in the overlay that has a similar shape to the crack in the old pavement. It can affect the general performance and durability of the pavement. When repairing pavement affected by fatigue cracking, the main cause of the distress should be determined. It is usually studied under the transportation section of civil engineering. ==Causes== Fatigue cracking is an asphalt pavement distress most often instigated by failure of the surface due to traffic loading. Reflective cracking can be categorized as one of the distresses in asphalt pavement. Due to loading, cracks can appear on pavement surface that can reduce the Pavement Condition Index (PCI) dramatically. Reflective cracks can also happen in overlays placed on joints or cracks in composite pavements such as concrete pavements. According to certain researchers, pavements that exceed a certain minimum strength or thickness can hypothetically handle infinitely many loads without showing structural defects, including fatigue cracking. An overlay of hot mix asphalt is then placed over the completed repair. ==See also== * Alkali–silica reaction: distress in concrete with a cracking pattern ressembing this of crocodile cracking * Bleeding (roads) * Cracking pattern * Road texture * Rut (roads) ==Notes== Category:Pavement engineering Category:Road infrastructure Category:Mechanical failure modes Category:Patterns Category:Fracture mechanics Category:Pavement distress It is important to prevent fatigue cracking, and repair as soon as possible, as advanced cases can be very costly to repair and can lead to formation of potholes or premature pavement failure. A reflective crack can also open a way for water to enter the pavement's body and increase the deterioration rate. Furthermore, cracks are difficult to simulate in climbing gyms, so those who train indoors are limited to face routes when they climb outside. Like wheel-path fatigue cracking, poor drainage is a main cause of edge cracking, as it weakens the base, which hastens the deterioration of the pavement. Crocodile cracking, also called alligator cracking and perhaps misleadingly fatigue cracking, is a common type of distress in asphalt pavement. thumb|Cracking along the road axis possibly due to poor construction and formation of a cold joint thumb|Alligator cracking Pavement crack refers to a variety of types of pavement distresses that occur on the surface of pavements. Some of the most challenging climbs follow cracks which run through many different widths. thumb|Reflective crack A reflective crack is a type of failure in asphalt pavement, one of the most popular road surface types. Many traditional climbing routes follow crack systems, as they provide natural opportunities for placing protective equipment. == Widths == In the context of climbing, cracks are classified by their width in relation to the climber's body: finger, off-finger, hand, off-width, and chimneys. Edge cracking differs from fatigue cracking in that the cracks form from the top down, where fatigue cracks usually start at the bottom and propagate to the surface. ==Development== Fatigue cracking manifests itself initially as longitudinal cracking (cracks along the direction of the flow of traffic) in the top layer of the asphalt.Alligator Cracking , Advanced Transportation Technology West Valley College, date accessed: November 9, 2010 These cracks are initially thin and sparsely distributed. If left untreated, additional cracks will form until it resembles fatigue cracking.

What can voodoo dolls be used for?

Tropes regarding voodoo appear most often in supernatural fantasy or horror films, with common themes including the activity of witch doctors, the summoning or control of dark spirits, use of voodoo dolls to inflict pain on people remotely, and the creation of zombies. == Background == The word "Vodou" comes from the Fon language (spoken in Dahomey) meaning "spirit" or "god". Although the use of the term Voodoo implies that the practice is linked to Haitian Vodou or Louisiana Voodoo, the voodoo doll is not prominent in either. The term Voodoo doll commonly refers to an effigy that is typically used for the insertion of pins. The term Voodoo doll commonly describes an effigy into which pins are inserted. A voodoo doll had also been included in the 2009 animated Disney movie, The Princess and the Frog. ==Closer representations== More accurate representations of Voodoo occur in connection with the popular culture of regions where Voodoo is actually practiced. Despite its name, the dolls are not prominent in Haitian Vodou and not used in Louisiana Voodoo.QI: Quite Interesting, Series D, Episode 10: Divination, BBC, BBC Two The practice has been denounced and declared irrelevant to Voodoo religion by those in High Priesthood of Louisiana Voodoo. ==Depictions in Culture== ===20th-century link with Voodoo=== thumb|Contemporary voodoo doll, with 58 pins The link between this magical practice and Voodoo was established through the presentation of the latter in Western popular culture, enduring the first half of the 20th century. We do not stab pins in dolls to hurt people; we don't take your hair and make a doll, and worship the devil with it, and ask the devil to give us black magic to get our revenge on you. Voodoo dolls are also featured in the films Lisztomania and Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom, though the latter is in connection with a fictionalized Indian Thuggee religion entirely unrelated to Voodoo. Voodoo in popular culture encompasses various representations of practices associated with different forms of voodoo, including Haitian Vodou and Louisiana Voodoo, and other elements attributed to African diaspora religions, with such representations often deviating substantially from any actual voodoo practices or beliefs. A haunted doll is a handmade or manufactured doll or stuffed animal that is claimed to be cursed or possessed in some way. == History == According to Linda Rodriguez McRobbie, the concept of malevolent dolls gained attention in the 20th century when film and entertainment technology was able to realistically portray "safely inanimate" dolls as "dangerously animate". Reasons for these actions have included possession by demons, devils, monsters, ghosts, supernatural creatures, dark magic, and malevolent or malfunctioning technology. ==List of films== The films that feature killer toys are listed as follows: Film Year Rating (Rotten Tomatoes) Reference The Devil-Doll 1936 79% (19 reviews) Dead of Night 1945 93% (44 reviews) Attack of the Puppet People 1958 No score yet...

Maria's family is practicing voodoo, so she creates a voodoo doll for each of the girls in order to torture them. Two of the most pervasive representations are the creation of zombies and the use of voodoo dolls. In 2020, Louisiana Voodoo High Priest Robi Gilmore stated, "It blows my mind that people still believe [Voodoo dolls are relevant to Voodoo religion].

What happens if you disturb the mummy of a pharaoh?

The Plagues of Egypt, in the account of the book of Exodus, are ten disasters inflicted on Biblical Egypt by the God of Israel in order to convince the Pharaoh to emancipate the enslaved Israelites, each of them confronting Pharaoh and one of his Egyptian gods; they serve as "signs and marvels" given by God to answer Pharaoh's taunt that he does not know Yahweh: "The Egyptians shall know that I am the ". == Plagues == === 1. Sorry to Disturb () is a 2008 Egyptian film directed by Khaled Marei. Mummy: the inside story. The shift in language was also intended to distance the display of mummies from their depiction in popular culture, which often "undermined their humanity" by depicting them as supernatural monsters and perpetuating the notion of a "mummy's curse." They arrive in Cairo, hearing the talk of the curse of the pharaohs. A mummy is a dead human or an animal whose soft tissues and organs have been preserved by either intentional or accidental exposure to chemicals, extreme cold, very low humidity, or lack of air, so that the recovered body does not decay further if kept in cool and dry conditions. "Egypt's 'King Tut Curse' Caused by Tomb Toxins?" This was confirmed in 2018, when tests on a 5,600 year-old mummy in Turin revealed that it had been deliberately mummified using linen wrappings and embalming oils made from conifer resin and aromatic plant extracts.Mindy Seisberger, 'This Ancient Mummy Is Older Than the Pharaohs', Live Science, 16 August 2016Maya Wei-Haas,'Mummy yields earliest known Egyptian embalming recipe', National Geographic, 15 August 2018 The preservation of the dead had a profound effect on ancient Egyptian religion. Pharaoh's Curse is a 1957 American horror film directed by Lee Sholem and written by Richard H. Landau.

Once the mummy was completely wrapped, it was coated in a resin in order to keep the threat of moist air away. Such unrolling sessions destroyed hundreds of mummies, because the exposure to the air caused them to disintegrate. While there is some evidence of deliberate mummification, most sources state that desiccation occurred naturally due to unique conditions within the crypts. The Book of Deuteronomy, composed in stages between the 7th and 6th centuries, mentions the "diseases of Egypt" (Deuteronomy 7:15 and 28:60) but refers to something that afflicted the Israelites, not the Egyptians, and never specifies the plagues. Through various methods of study over many decades, modern Egyptologists now have an accurate understanding of how mummification was achieved in ancient Egypt. This makes the recovery of mummies a challenge, as exposure to the outside world can cause the bodies to decay in a matter of hours.
