Which room does the person use the product in? | Had high hopes for this Vornado, but not sure if I like it. The Great Room where I use it is probably bigger than what this humidifier can handle, but it seems to at least get the humidity above 30%, which is far better than the 25% we sometimes get in the winter. The one major issue is noise. Only at the lowest setting is it quiet. There is no difference in the noise level between medium and high...meaning, it's too loud. Gets on your nerve after a while. So, if the noise will not bother you, it will be satisfactory to get the humidity level at a comfortable level in the right sized room. |
The California State Normal School allowed teachers to do what? | In March 1881, the California State Legislature authorized the creation of a southern branch of the California State Normal School (now San José State University) in downtown Los Angeles to train teachers for the growing population of Southern California. The Los Angeles branch of the California State Normal School opened on August 29, 1882, on what is now the site of the Central Library of the Los Angeles Public Library system. The facility included an elementary school where teachers-in-training could practice their technique with children. That elementary school is related to the present day UCLA Lab School. In 1887, the branch campus became independent and changed its name to Los Angeles State Normal School. |
When did BSkyB end their analogue service? | The service started on 1 September 1993 based on the idea from the then chief executive officer, Sam Chisholm and Rupert Murdoch, of converting the company business strategy to an entirely fee-based concept. The new package included four channels formerly available free-to-air, broadcasting on Astra's satellites, as well as introducing new channels. The service continued until the closure of BSkyB's analogue service on 27 September 2001, due to the launch and expansion of the Sky Digital platform. Some of the channels did broadcast either in the clear or soft encrypted (whereby a Videocrypt decoder was required to decode, without a subscription card) prior to their addition to the Sky Multichannels package. Within two months of the launch, BSkyB gained 400,000 new subscribers, with the majority taking at least one premium channel as well, which helped BSkyB reach 3.5 million households by mid-1994. Michael Grade criticized the operations in front of the Select Committee on National Heritage, mainly for the lack of original programming on many of the new channels. |
What do they like? | I use it with gunpowder green tea and put a thin layer of tea at the bottom of the infuser....it blossoms up almost to the top.... this works PERFECTLY for me... no tea in the cup... I use it with a large cup but you could use a lot more tea and probably use it in a kettle.I like a good strong steeped tea and let it infuse for awhile...I know, I'm weird -- totally ruined the bouquet or whatever the tea itself... but I'm not after the flavor (which is delish), I'm after the green tea caffeine ;)(and anti-oxidants, of course)The drip cap is perfect... I don't think I fully realized it included this and so that was a huge bonus... I keep meaning to try to steep twice from the same bit of tea but one cup is usually strong enough for me.I wrote the company to find out if the plastic used in this is BPA-free (friend of mine is obsessed with this) and was assured that it is free of BPA... this is a good quality product that I've used every day for 3 weeks.Highly recommended! |
What substance encourages milk in bovine cows? | In the United States, it is legal to give a bovine GH to dairy cows to increase milk production, and is legal to use GH in raising cows for beef; see article on Bovine somatotropin, cattle feeding, dairy farming and the beef hormone controversy. |
When did the Normans attack Dyrrachium? | The further decline of Byzantine state-of-affairs paved the road to a third attack in 1185, when a large Norman army invaded Dyrrachium, owing to the betrayal of high Byzantine officials. Some time later, Dyrrachium—one of the most important naval bases of the Adriatic—fell again to Byzantine hands. |
Where were the bags taken? | As I have an agitator washing machine, I really appreciate bagging bras and other items that used to tangle brutally in the wash, sometimes strangling other stuff into deep wrinkles that needed an iron to get out. I took two of the bags on vacation with me last year and felt none of the usual embarrassment at laundry time when I had to mix my clothes with those of my host family. The bags are opaque enough to give a bit of privacy to what's inside. Thanks for a durable product that saves both threads and personal pride. |
What nation is Alexander Lukashenko the leader of? | Belarus is a presidential republic, governed by a president and the National Assembly. The term for each presidency is five years. Under the 1994 constitution, the president could serve for only two terms as president, but a change in the constitution in 2004 eliminated term limits. Alexander Lukashenko has been the president of Belarus since 1994. In 1996, Lukashenko called for a controversial vote to extend the presidential term from five to seven years, and as a result the election that was supposed to occur in 1999 was pushed back to 2001. The referendum on the extension was denounced as a "fantastic" fake by the chief electoral officer, Viktar Hanchar, who was removed from the office for official matters only during the campaign. The National Assembly is a bicameral parliament comprising the 110-member House of Representatives (the lower house) and the 64-member Council of the Republic (the upper house). |
What are the six types of reductions? | Many complexity classes are defined using the concept of a reduction. A reduction is a transformation of one problem into another problem. It captures the informal notion of a problem being at least as difficult as another problem. For instance, if a problem X can be solved using an algorithm for Y, X is no more difficult than Y, and we say that X reduces to Y. There are many different types of reductions, based on the method of reduction, such as Cook reductions, Karp reductions and Levin reductions, and the bound on the complexity of reductions, such as polynomial-time reductions or log-space reductions. |
How much liquid can the bottle contain? | ZingAnything Aqua Zinger - Green Sports Cap = AWESOMENESS! It's way better than I thought and more than I expected! Okay...read the product details, you will still be amazed when you receive it. It's extremely well and thoughtfully made. The "spout" at the top is wide not a typical straw. It holds a great amount of liquid and the compartment at the bottom that actually grinds the fruit/veggies is generous. Since buying the blueberry & pomegranate concentrates here on Amazon for my smoothies, I now add some to my (infused) water. I'm gonna look so darn smart this summer! hahaha :D |
What percentage of Crimea speaks Russian? | According to the constitution, the state language of Ukraine is Ukrainian. Russian is widely spoken, especially in eastern and southern Ukraine. According to the 2001 census, 67.5 percent of the population declared Ukrainian as their native language and 29.6 percent declared Russian. Most native Ukrainian speakers know Russian as a second language. Russian was the de facto official language of the Soviet Union but both Russian and Ukrainian were official languages in the Soviet Union and in the schools of the Ukrainian SSR learning Ukrainian was mandatory. Effective in August 2012, a new law on regional languages entitles any local language spoken by at least a 10 percent minority be declared official within that area. Russian was within weeks declared as a regional language in several southern and eastern oblasts (provinces) and cities. Russian can now be used in these cities'/oblasts' administrative office work and documents. On 23 February 2014, following the 2014 Ukrainian revolution, the Ukrainian Parliament voted to repeal the law on regional languages, making Ukrainian the sole state language at all levels; however, the repeal was not signed by acting President Turchynov and current President Poroshenko. In February 2019, the law allowing for regional languages was found unconstitutional.Ukrainian is mainly spoken in western and central Ukraine. In western Ukraine, Ukrainian is also the dominant language in cities (such as Lviv). In central Ukraine, Ukrainian and Russian are both equally used in cities, with Russian being more common in Kiev, while Ukrainian is the dominant language in rural communities. In eastern and southern Ukraine, Russian is primarily used in cities, and Ukrainian is used in rural areas. These details result in a significant difference across different survey results, as even a small restating of a question switches responses of a significant group of people. Hungarian is spoken in the Zakarpattia Oblast.For a large part of the Soviet era, the number of Ukrainian speakers declined from generation to generation, and by the mid-1980s, the usage of the Ukrainian language in public life had decreased significantly. Following independence, the government of Ukraine began restoring the image and usage of Ukrainian language through a policy of Ukrainisation. Today, most foreign films and TV programs, including Russian ones, are subtitled or dubbed in Ukrainian. Ukraine's 2017 education law bars primary education to all students in any language but Ukrainian. The Unian reported that "A ban on the use of cultural products, namely movies, books, songs, etc., in the Russian language in the public has been introduced" in the Lviv Oblast in September 2018.According to the Constitution of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea, Ukrainian is the only state language of the republic. However, the republic's constitution specifically recognises Russian as the language of the majority of its population and guarantees its usage 'in all spheres of public life'. Similarly, the Crimean Tatar language (the language of 12 percent of population of Crimea) is guaranteed a special state protection as well as the 'languages of other ethnicities'. Russian speakers constitute an overwhelming majority of the Crimean population (77 percent), with Crimean Tatar speakers 11.4 percent and Ukrainian speakers comprising just 10.1 percent. But in everyday life the majority of Crimean Tatars and Ukrainians in Crimea use Russian. |
What fault can produce a magnitude 8.7 event? | Many faults are able to produce a magnitude 6.7+ earthquake, such as the San Andreas Fault, which can produce a magnitude 8.0 event. Other faults include the San Jacinto Fault, the Puente Hills Fault, and the Elsinore Fault Zone. The USGS has released a California Earthquake forecast which models Earthquake occurrence in California. |
What does this store | I got this beautiful wine rack to store both wine for my wife and corked beers for me. The large rack holds a huge number of bottles that allows us to store up to 56 of our favorites at any one time. The wood is beautiful and eye catching. The style is simple, but modern. It took just about 30 minutes to put it together, and the instructions were simple but effective. The rack is of solid build and seems to be something that will last for several decades. I'm not worried at all about filling it up, the rack is heavy duty enough to be able to hold all 56 bottles it's designed to hold. If you're looking for a good sized wine rack that is functional and beautiful then look no further than this gem. |
What is the translation of gluttony in the classic language of ancient Rome? | Gluttony (Latin, gula) is the overindulgence and overconsumption of anything to the point of waste. The word derives from the Latin gluttire, meaning to gulp down or swallow. |
What revolution was fought in the 1899's? | The French Wars of Religion in the 16th century and French Revolution in the 18th successively destroyed much of what existed in the way of the architectural and artistic remnant of this Norman creativity. The former, with their violence, caused the wanton destruction of many Norman edifices; the latter, with its assault on religion, caused the purposeful destruction of religious objects of any type, and its destabilisation of society resulted in rampant pillaging. |
What has a rubbery padding at the tips? | My closet floor used to be a magnet for slacks. No more! These wonderful hangers hold onto a pair of slacks with a vice-like grip. Even the heaviest, thickest corduroy pants can't get away. The pincer-like holders have a rubbery padding at the tips, so no there's no damage to fabrics from the strong squeeze.The slacks sit rather high on the hanger, so they're less like to get lost among the other garments in one's closet. Another plus.I used to be so short of pants hangers, that I'd hang two pairs to a hanger. This makes getting slacks out of the closet quite a struggle and also loosens the grip of the hanging mechanism over time. I'm so glad I thought of looking for hangers on Amazon. Finding them locally would have been a hassle.I don't stack these hangers, but use them individually. I'm completely happy with them. |
What protocol number does OSPF use? | Unlike other routing protocols, OSPF does not carry data via a transport protocol, such as the User Datagram Protocol (UDP) or the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). Instead, OSPF forms IP datagrams directly, packaging them using protocol number 89 for the IP Protocol field. OSPF defines five different message types, for various types of communication: |
According to reduction, if X and Y can be solved by the same algorithm then X performs what function in relationship to Y? | Many complexity classes are defined using the concept of a reduction. A reduction is a transformation of one problem into another problem. It captures the informal notion of a problem being at least as difficult as another problem. For instance, if a problem X can be solved using an algorithm for Y, X is no more difficult than Y, and we say that X reduces to Y. There are many different types of reductions, based on the method of reduction, such as Cook reductions, Karp reductions and Levin reductions, and the bound on the complexity of reductions, such as polynomial-time reductions or log-space reductions. |
What type of coffee maker did the writer use prior to purchasing a Vue? | I was so excited to upgrade from the KCup system to the Vue, but that's where it ends. I knew going into it that my coffee choices would be limited and more expensive, but was not prepared for my 14 ounce travel cup to not even come close to fitting under the dispenser. It worked fine in my KCup Platinum. I'm shocked being as this brewer offers up to an 18 ounce travel mug brew selection. It is much shorter than the previous KCup area, even with the drip pan totally removed. So now I have to brew into a separate cup and pour into mine, more trouble and more to wash. Kuerig, you really dropped the ball on this one. Also, you can't have a default setting for brewing with one touch, you must pick size, etc. every time. Very let down. |
How many levels can selection act as at the same time? | Natural selection can act at different levels of organisation, such as genes, cells, individual organisms, groups of organisms and species. Selection can act at multiple levels simultaneously. An example of selection occurring below the level of the individual organism are genes called transposons, which can replicate and spread throughout a genome. Selection at a level above the individual, such as group selection, may allow the evolution of cooperation, as discussed below. |
What country was under the control of Norman barons? | Subsequent to the Conquest, however, the Marches came completely under the dominance of William's most trusted Norman barons, including Bernard de Neufmarché, Roger of Montgomery in Shropshire and Hugh Lupus in Cheshire. These Normans began a long period of slow conquest during which almost all of Wales was at some point subject to Norman interference. Norman words, such as baron (barwn), first entered Welsh at that time. |
which shelves are only for smaller pots? | The price is good, but the unit is shaky and as one reviewer said, it is **smaaaall**. I can only fit Le Creuset 5qt Braiser, 5.5qt Round, 3.5qt Round Wide and that's about it. The top 3 shelves are for 8.5" and smaller pots which is pretty dang small. I can't fit my oval skillet (I hung it from a hook on the curl at the top of the rack) but no room for a 3.75qt Covered skillet. The Enclume racks are larger but 3x the price. Not sure if I will keep it since 3 shelves remain unusable for me. Too bad, the price was just right. |
What is missing when resting even if they have a barking cough? | A total score of ≤ 2 indicates mild croup. The characteristic barking cough and hoarseness may be present, but there is no stridor at rest. |
What famous snowbaorder lives in southern California? | Southern California is also home to a large home grown surf and skateboard culture. Companies such as Volcom, Quiksilver, No Fear, RVCA, and Body Glove are all headquartered here. Professional skateboarder Tony Hawk, professional surfers Rob Machado, Tim Curran, Bobby Martinez, Pat O'Connell, Dane Reynolds, and Chris Ward, and professional snowboarder Shaun White live in southern California. Some of the world's legendary surf spots are in southern California as well, including Trestles, Rincon, The Wedge, Huntington Beach, and Malibu, and it is second only to the island of Oahu in terms of famous surf breaks. Some of the world's biggest extreme sports events, including the X Games, Boost Mobile Pro, and the U.S. Open of Surfing are all in southern California. Southern California is also important to the world of yachting. The annual Transpacific Yacht Race, or Transpac, from Los Angeles to Hawaii, is one of yachting's premier events. The San Diego Yacht Club held the America's Cup, the most prestigious prize in yachting, from 1988 to 1995 and hosted three America's Cup races during that time. |
Why did the reviewer select this slow cooker? | WELCOME TO MY COOKING LABOATMEAL: I ordered this slow cooker specifically for making my Irish steel cut oatmeal, for which it is perfect. It cooks the oats in three to four hours on low. If I have pre-ground the oats in my mini processor first, they cook more quickly than otherwise. To pre-grind all one needs do is pulse the oats two or three times in your mini food processor. Right now, I use 2/3 of a cup of oats with a dash of salt to slightly less than 3 cups of water. I taste for doneness at around 3 hours of cooking on low. I serve my cooked oatmeal with Vermont maple syrup, warmed, reduced-fat milk and topped with a few thawed berries or fresh fruit.OATMEAL: The oatmeal that I use is in a newly-opened can of McCann's Irish steel cut oatmeal. I store an opened can in a tightly sealed container in the fridge, and use it up pretty quickly.CROCKERY INSERT: The white crockery insert has handles extending beyond the two sides of the top of the cooker. The handles make it easy to grasp the hot crockery and remove it from the cooker, but you must use oven mitts before grasping the hot handles of the crockery to avoid burning your fingers. Because the bottom of the crockery is rough and could scratch the counter top, I keep a good-sized trivet next to the cooker when I am ready to remove the crockery.COVER: The cover has a tightly sealed black gasket around the bottom which prevents the water from seeping out of the slow cooker. When you lift the cover to test for doneness, the many water droplets that have accumulated at the underneath of the cover are very hot, so avoid burning yourself or your counter tops. |
Which festival takes place in Vitebsk and showcases Belarusian performers and artists? | The Belarusian government sponsors annual cultural festivals such as the Slavianski Bazaar in Vitebsk, which showcases Belarusian performers, artists, writers, musicians, and actors. Several state holidays, such as Independence Day and Victory Day, draw big crowds and often include displays such as fireworks and military parades, especially in Vitebsk and Minsk. The government's Ministry of Culture finances events promoting Belarusian arts and culture both inside and outside the country. |
What is the least used type of reduction? | The most commonly used reduction is a polynomial-time reduction. This means that the reduction process takes polynomial time. For example, the problem of squaring an integer can be reduced to the problem of multiplying two integers. This means an algorithm for multiplying two integers can be used to square an integer. Indeed, this can be done by giving the same input to both inputs of the multiplication algorithm. Thus we see that squaring is not more difficult than multiplication, since squaring can be reduced to multiplication. |
Can the water still drain properly if you use this mat in the shower? | Does not drain fast enough to keep ya from standing in water while showering.It needs a way for water to enter and drain frim the front and sides. But I do think its a quality mat as mats go, mine is nice and thick, and feels good on the feet.But I decided to try some waterproof interlocking shower\pool deck floor tiles and i absolutly love them.Sometimesi use the mat on top of them, sometimes not.The tiles stand up off the floor of the shower 1/8 inch or so, drain very well and keep ya from standing in water.Easy to clean also. |
How many decades did Cultural Figures span for? | In the mid-1970s, Bayramov embarked on what was to become his most celebrated series, Cultural Figures. This series contains portraits of individuals recognized by Bayramov as having made important contributions to Turkmen cultural heritage during the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. The creation of Cultural Figures would span more than four decades and result in more than 150 individual portraits. |
Which machine allows the machine to have multiple possible past actions from a given state? | A deterministic Turing machine is the most basic Turing machine, which uses a fixed set of rules to determine its future actions. A probabilistic Turing machine is a deterministic Turing machine with an extra supply of random bits. The ability to make probabilistic decisions often helps algorithms solve problems more efficiently. Algorithms that use random bits are called randomized algorithms. A non-deterministic Turing machine is a deterministic Turing machine with an added feature of non-determinism, which allows a Turing machine to have multiple possible future actions from a given state. One way to view non-determinism is that the Turing machine branches into many possible computational paths at each step, and if it solves the problem in any of these branches, it is said to have solved the problem. Clearly, this model is not meant to be a physically realizable model, it is just a theoretically interesting abstract machine that gives rise to particularly interesting complexity classes. For examples, see non-deterministic algorithm. |
What is one of the many uses for the scale? | I have only had this product a week, but so far I am happy. I bought it mostly for weighing meat portions when cooking dinner. My boyfriend and I are trying to follow better portion control for dinner. I find that this scale makes it easy to keep track of my calorie intake. I can weigh items and google how many calories are in that portion size. This product is also light and does not take up a lot of space. The surface is large enough to place a mixing bowl on top and weight inside contents. I am a happy customer and would recommend this product. |
How old was Václav Klement when he founded Škoda? | As with many long-established car manufacturers, the company which would become Škoda Auto started in the early 1890s by manufacturing bicycles. Škoda (then Laurin & Klement) factories were founded in 1896 as a velocipede manufacturer.In 1894 (1894), 26-year-old Václav Klement, who was a bookseller in Mladá Boleslav, Kingdom of Bohemia (today's Czech Republic, then part of Austria-Hungary), was unable to obtain spare parts to repair his German bicycle. Klement returned his bicycle to the manufacturers, Seidel and Naumann, with a letter, in Czech, asking them to carry out repairs, only to receive a reply, in German, stating: "If you want an answer from us, we ask for your messages in a language we understand." Not satisfied with the reply and realising the business potential, Klement, despite having no technical experience, decided to start a bicycle repair shop, which he and Václav Laurin opened in 1896 in Mladá Boleslav. Before going into partnership with Klement, Laurin was an established bicycle manufacturer in the nearby town of Turnov.In 1898, after moving to their newly built factory, the pair bought a Werner "Motocyclette". Laurin & Klement's first motorcyclette, powered by an engine mounted on the handlebars driving the front wheels, proved dangerous and unreliable — an early accident on it cost Laurin a front tooth. To design a safer machine with its structure around the engine, the pair wrote to German ignition specialist Robert Bosch for advice on a different electromagnetic system.Their new Slavia motorcycle made its debut in 1899 and the company became the first motorcycle factory in Central Europe. In 1900, with a company workforce of 32, Slavia exports began and 150 machines were shipped to London for the Hewtson firm. Shortly afterwards, the press credited them as makers of the first motorcycle.By 1905, the firm was manufacturing automobiles, making it the second-oldest car manufacturer in the Czech lands after Tatra. The company, with an area of 7,800 square metres (0.78 ha), had a workforce of 320 and used 170 special machine-tools, power-driven by 100 horsepower (75 kW) of steam power. The first model, Voiturette A, was a success and the company was established both within Austria-Hungary and internationally. |
What two fields of theoretical computer science closely mirror computational complexity theory? | Closely related fields in theoretical computer science are analysis of algorithms and computability theory. A key distinction between analysis of algorithms and computational complexity theory is that the former is devoted to analyzing the amount of resources needed by a particular algorithm to solve a problem, whereas the latter asks a more general question about all possible algorithms that could be used to solve the same problem. More precisely, it tries to classify problems that can or cannot be solved with appropriately restricted resources. In turn, imposing restrictions on the available resources is what distinguishes computational complexity from computability theory: the latter theory asks what kind of problems can, in principle, be solved algorithmically. |
What is the blade and plate replaced with after removal? | Once you realize how it properly is assembled for stuffing, you realize how great a product it is. TAKE OUT THE BLADE AND GRINDING PLATE. If you don't remove these, it will seem impossible to stuff a full length casing. It took me an hour doing this. I dissembled, and removed the blade and plate, replacing it with the plastic spinner in the box, and once I did that, the auger did its job and started pulling the meat through, instead of the vicious plunger stuffing that was needed before.Once this was done, I stuffed 10lbs in about 30 minutes (50 links). My recipe:10 lbs pork shoulder2 lbs bacon (unsliced)2 lbs ultra-sharp cheddar (shredded)2 tbs ground fennel2 tbs ground corriander2 tbs ginger1 tbs ground mustard1 tbs chili powder2 tbs red flake pepper1/4 cup watersprinkling of saltUse natural hog casings and your all set. |
What is the abbreviation for the group of football-related entities which Armenia is part of? | A wide array of sports are played in Armenia, the most popular among them being wrestling, weightlifting, judo, association football, chess, and boxing. Armenia's mountainous terrain provides great opportunities for the practice of sports like skiing and climbing. Being a landlocked country, water sports can only be practised on lakes, notably Lake Sevan. Competitively, Armenia has been successful in chess, weightlifting and wrestling at the international level. Armenia is also an active member of the international sports community, with full membership in the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) and International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF). It also hosts the Pan-Armenian Games. |
What does not lie between L and P that allows a definitive determination of the relationship between L and P? | Similarly, it is not known if L (the set of all problems that can be solved in logarithmic space) is strictly contained in P or equal to P. Again, there are many complexity classes between the two, such as NL and NC, and it is not known if they are distinct or equal classes. |
What does the reviewer's brother love making in the microwave? | My brother loves making s'mores in the microwave, so I bought him this as a Christmas present. Even though it's not something that's 100% necessary, it was a funny little gift that is actually pretty practical. If you've ever made s'mores in the microwave before, you know that the marshmallow balloons out and you need to keep an eye on it as it "cooks." This little device stops that completely- you add water to the back part, which helps the marshmallow cook evenly, and the "hands" gently compress the s'more as it heats.Personally, after having s'mores made both with and without this little device, I think the marshmallows actually taste better after using the device since they are more evely heated. The chocolate tastes better too since it has more time to melt. Of course, you can save $7 and still make s'mores without it, but if you know someone who loves s'mores, it's a cute and inexpensive gift idea. Highly recommended! |
What does the city produce? | The city produces furniture, textiles, handicrafts, and timber. |
What are Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino and Riverside? | Its counties of Los Angeles, Orange, San Diego, San Bernardino, and Riverside are the five most populous in the state and all are in the top 15 most populous counties in the United States. |
What protects the mattress from liquid? | King Size SafeRest Premium Hypoallergenic Waterproof Mattress Protector - Vinyl Free does what it should. It fits a super deep mattress. It is quiet as can be. You don't get that moving cracking plastic sound like traditional mattress protectors. I have yet to have any spills to test out the waterproof statement but other than that it is just that, a mattress protector! |
Who did he dedicate his award to? | Mayer and LaBruyere performed throughout Georgia and nearby states. Also, as his career coincided with the then-nascent internet music market, Mayer benefited from an online following. Mayer came to the attention of Gregg Latterman at Aware Records through an acquaintance of Mayer's, a lawyer, who sent Aware his EP. After including him in Aware Festival concerts and his songs on Aware compilations, in early 2001, Aware released Mayer's internet-only album titled, Room for Squares. During this time, Aware concluded a deal with Columbia Records that gave Columbia first pick in signing Aware artists. In September, Columbia remixed and re-released Room for Squares. As part of the major label "debut", the album's artwork was updated, and the track "3x5" was added. The re-release included reworked studio versions of the first four songs from Inside Wants Out.By the end of 2002, Room for Squares had spawned several radio hits, including "No Such Thing", "Your Body Is a Wonderland", and ultimately, "Why Georgia". It also received general praise critically, and Mayer drew comparisons to Dave Matthews. In 2003, Mayer won a Grammy for Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for "Your Body Is a Wonderland". In his acceptance speech he remarked, "This is very, very fast, and I promise to catch up". He also figuratively referred to himself as being sixteen, a remark that many mistook to mean that he was sixteen years old at the time.In February 2003, Mayer released a live CD and DVD of a concert in Birmingham, Alabama titled Any Given Thursday, which included songs previously not recorded, such as "Man on the Side", "Something's Missing", and Covered in Rain". Commercially, the album peaked at number 17 on the Billboard 200 chart. Its accompanying DVD release received conservative—although consistent—praise, with critics torn between his pop-idol image, and (at the time) emerging guitar prowess. Erik Crawford of AllMusic asked, "Is [Mayer] the consummate guitar hero exemplified when he plays a cover of Stevie Ray Vaughan's 'Lenny', or is he the teen idol that the pubescent girls shriek for after he plays 'Your Body Is a Wonderland?'" That summer, Mayer went on the road with Counting Crows in a tour that spanned 42 dates between July 7 and September 2.Heavier Things, Mayer's second album, was released in 2003 to generally favorable reviews. Rolling Stone, Allmusic and Blender all gave positive, although reserved, feedback. The album was commercially successful, and while it did not sell as well as Room for Squares, it peaked at number one on the US Billboard 200 chart. The song "Daughters" won the 2005 Grammy for Song of the Year, and reached #1 on the Billboard Adult Pop Songs chart and #19 on the Billboard Hot 100. He dedicated the award to his grandmother, Annie Hoffman, who had died in May 2004. He also won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance. On February 9, 2009, Mayer told Ellen DeGeneres that he thought he should not have won the Grammy for Song of the year because he thought that Alicia Keys' "If I Ain't Got You" was the better song. Because of this, he removed the top half of the Grammy and gave it to Keys, and kept the bottom part for himself. At the 37th Annual Songwriters Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in 2006, Mayer received the Hal David Starlight Award.Mayer again recorded live concerts across seven nights of his U.S. tour in 2004. These recordings were released to the iTunes Store under the title As/Is, indicating that the errors were included along with the good moments. A few months later, a "best of" CD was compiled from the As/Is nights. The album included a previously unreleased cover of Marvin Gaye's song "Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler)", featuring a solo from Mayer's supporting act—jazz and blues turntablist DJ Logic. The album covers of the As/Is releases feature drawings of anthropomorphic bunnies. |
What is the name of the team from USC? | College sports are also popular in southern California. The UCLA Bruins and the USC Trojans both field teams in NCAA Division I in the Pac-12 Conference, and there is a longtime rivalry between the schools. |
Which is more expensive, the Cuisinart or Oster | I don't see why this product is getting so many bad reviews.I've owned one for over five years that finally wore out after three or more times use per week.I decided to buy the Cuisinart because it had better reviews, last time I'll listen to the reviews here.The Oster is hands down a better unit and is cheaper to boot.The Oster has more power and chops much closer to the bottom of the bowl.I returned the Cuisinart in trade for a new Oster. It appears to be exactly the same as the one that served me so well for several years. |
what type of study was lurman's paper? | The hepatitis B virus has infected humans since at least the Bronze Age. The evidence was obtained from 4,500-year-old human remains. According to the 2018 study, the viral genomes obtained by shotgun sequencing became the oldest ever recovered from vertebrate samples. It was also found that some ancient hepatitis viral strains still infect humans, while other became extinct. This disproved the belief that hepatitis B originated in the New World and spread to Europe around 16th century. Another 2018 study of the remains of a mummified child found in the Basilica of San Domenico Maggiore in Naples concluded that the child, who had lived in the 16th century, had a form of HBV, and that the virus was closely related to modern variants.The earliest record of an epidemic caused by hepatitis B virus was made by Lurman in 1885. An outbreak of smallpox occurred in Bremen in 1883 and 1,289 shipyard employees were vaccinated with lymph from other people. After several weeks, and up to eight months later, 191 of the vaccinated workers became ill with jaundice and were diagnosed as suffering from serum hepatitis. Other employees who had been inoculated with different batches of lymph remained healthy. Lurman's paper, now regarded as a classical example of an epidemiological study, proved that contaminated lymph was the source of the outbreak. Later, numerous similar outbreaks were reported following the introduction, in 1909, of hypodermic needles that were used, and, more importantly, reused, for administering Salvarsan for the treatment of syphilis. The virus was not discovered until 1966 when Baruch Blumberg, then working at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), discovered the Australia antigen (later known to be hepatitis B surface antigen, or HBsAg) in the blood of Aboriginal Australian people. Although a virus had been suspected since the research published by Frederick MacCallum in 1947, David Dane and others discovered the virus particle in 1970 by electron microscopy. By the early 1980s the genome of the virus had been sequenced, and the first vaccines were being tested. |
IP and AM are most commonly defined by what type of proof system? | Other important complexity classes include BPP, ZPP and RP, which are defined using probabilistic Turing machines; AC and NC, which are defined using Boolean circuits; and BQP and QMA, which are defined using quantum Turing machines. #P is an important complexity class of counting problems (not decision problems). Classes like IP and AM are defined using Interactive proof systems. ALL is the class of all decision problems. |
What did the person buy? | I bought this bread machine because I was really tired of buying bread at the store that listed ingredients on the bag that were about as long as the white pages. I figured that I probably couldn't bake bread in the oven, since I sometimes have trouble making toast, plus it is time consuming and messy. I figured I would go the easier route and buy a bread machine to make bread because it would just make me feel better eating fresh bread, where I know what is going into it.My grandma used to have a bread machine and I remember that smell of fresh baked bread being so awesome so that is an added bonus. I made two loaves of bread, one on the express loaf option (took about an hour) and the Italian Herb Bread (without the herbs because I didn't have any) and they both turned out great. The crust is perfect, the bread tastes amazing, and I can't wait to make more.I bought some good flour for the bread, by good I mean it is whole grain, grown in USA and any GMO. It actually wasn't a whole lot more than regular bleached flour, and cost me $4.00 at Wal-Mart (which surprised me) and I would buy it again.I would say that if you want some good bread that is easy to make, get this bread machine, because if I can do it...you can do it. |
How many original laws to the game were there? | According to FIFA, the Chinese competitive game cuju (蹴鞠, literally "kick ball") is the earliest form of football for which there is evidence. Cuju players could use any part of the body apart from hands and the intent was kicking a ball through an opening into a net. It was remarkably similar to modern football, though similarities to rugby occurred. During the Han Dynasty (206 BC – 220 AD), cuju games were standardised and rules were established.Phaininda and episkyros were Greek ball games. An image of an episkyros player depicted in low relief on a vase at the National Archaeological Museum of Athens appears on the UEFA European Championship Cup. Athenaeus, writing in 228 AD, referenced the Roman ball game harpastum. Phaininda, episkyros and harpastum were played involving hands and violence. They all appear to have resembled rugby football, wrestling and volleyball more than what is recognizable as modern football. As with pre-codified "mob football", the antecedent of all modern football codes, these three games involved more handling the ball than kicking. Other games included kemari in Japan and chuk-guk in Korea.Association football in itself does not have a classical history. Notwithstanding any similarities to other ball games played around the world FIFA has recognised that no historical connection exists with any game played in antiquity outside Europe. The modern rules of association football are based on the mid-19th century efforts to standardise the widely varying forms of football played in the public schools of England. The history of football in England dates back to at least the eighth century AD.The Cambridge Rules, first drawn up at Cambridge University in 1848, were particularly influential in the development of subsequent codes, including association football. The Cambridge Rules were written at Trinity College, Cambridge, at a meeting attended by representatives from Eton, Harrow, Rugby, Winchester and Shrewsbury schools. They were not universally adopted. During the 1850s, many clubs unconnected to schools or universities were formed throughout the English-speaking world, to play various forms of football. Some came up with their own distinct codes of rules, most notably the Sheffield Football Club, formed by former public school pupils in 1857, which led to formation of a Sheffield FA in 1867. In 1862, John Charles Thring of Uppingham School also devised an influential set of rules.These ongoing efforts contributed to the formation of The Football Association (The FA) in 1863, which first met on the morning of 26 October 1863 at the Freemasons' Tavern in Great Queen Street, London. The only school to be represented on this occasion was Charterhouse. The Freemason's Tavern was the setting for five more meetings between October and December, which eventually produced the first comprehensive set of rules. At the final meeting, the first FA treasurer, the representative from Blackheath, withdrew his club from the FA over the removal of two draft rules at the previous meeting: the first allowed for running with the ball in hand; the second for obstructing such a run by hacking (kicking an opponent in the shins), tripping and holding. Other English rugby clubs followed this lead and did not join the FA and instead in 1871 formed the Rugby Football Union. The eleven remaining clubs, under the charge of Ebenezer Cobb Morley, went on to ratify the original thirteen laws of the game. These rules included handling of the ball by "marks" and the lack of a crossbar, rules which made it remarkably similar to Victorian rules football being developed at that time in Australia. The Sheffield FA played by its own rules until the 1870s with the FA absorbing some of its rules until there was little difference between the games.The world's oldest football competition is the FA Cup, which was founded by C.W. Alcock and has been contested by English teams since 1872. The first official international football match also took place in 1872, between Scotland and England in Glasgow, again at the instigation of C.W. Alcock. England is also home to the world's first football league, which was founded in Birmingham in 1888 by Aston Villa director William McGregor. The original format contained 12 clubs from the Midlands and Northern England. |
Who conquered the Canary Island in the 14th century? | Between 1402 and 1405, the expedition led by the Norman noble Jean de Bethencourt and the Poitevine Gadifer de la Salle conquered the Canarian islands of Lanzarote, Fuerteventura and El Hierro off the Atlantic coast of Africa. Their troops were gathered in Normandy, Gascony and were later reinforced by Castilian colonists. |
when did the writer get the product? | I got my Mint about a month ago and am glad to have it. I use it to damp mop bare floors after the roomba has vacuumed. It works with ordinary terry wash cloths (which I use for all my cleaning) and picks up a lot of dirt.As another reviewer mentioned, it will not get into the cracks and cervices of a tile floor so you still have to get the grout clean yourself. It is excellent on wide-board bamboo floors - I use just a damp cloth as all solvents will build up over time.I found it a bit hard to get started as the North Star connection can be fussy in odd-shaped spaces (as in between my area rugs)- it seems to work if I break the room down into imaginary rectangles where the bare areas are. It also had trouble in the kitchen -- it won't connect if siting on my stone counters but was OK on the edge of the stove.It does a good job avoiding things and not running up on carpets, etc. It is very quiet. As another reviewer mentioned, it only does about 2 hours and then needs to charge over night.I like it as, for all its current drawbacks, it does more mopping than I would do. However, if you are not in a hurry, I'd wait for the next edition. I'm sure it will get better and better. |
What is the UK separated by? | The total area of the United Kingdom is approximately 244,820 square kilometres (94,530 sq mi). The country occupies the major part of the British Isles archipelago and includes the island of Great Britain, the north-eastern one-sixth of the island of Ireland and some smaller surrounding islands. It lies between the North Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea with the south-east coast coming within 22 miles (35 km) of the coast of northern France, from which it is separated by the English Channel. In 1993 10 per cent of the UK was forested, 46 per cent used for pastures and 25 per cent cultivated for agriculture. The Royal Greenwich Observatory in London was chosen as the defining point of the Prime Meridian in Washington in 1884, though it no longer is.The United Kingdom lies between latitudes 49° and 61° N, and longitudes 9° W and 2° E. Northern Ireland shares a 224-mile (360 km) land boundary with the Republic of Ireland. The coastline of Great Britain is 11,073 miles (17,820 km) long. It is connected to continental Europe by the Channel Tunnel, which at 31 miles (50 km) (24 miles (38 km) underwater) is the longest underwater tunnel in the world.England accounts for just over half (53 per cent) of the total area of the UK, covering 130,395 square kilometres (50,350 sq mi). Most of the country consists of lowland terrain, with mountainous terrain north-west of the Tees-Exe line; including the Cumbrian Mountains of the Lake District, the Pennines, Exmoor and Dartmoor. The main rivers and estuaries are the Thames, Severn and the Humber. England's highest mountain is Scafell Pike (978 metres (3,209 ft)) in the Lake District. |
What city has a population of 3.3 million people? | Los Angeles (at 3.7 million people) and San Diego (at 1.3 million people), both in southern California, are the two largest cities in all of California (and two of the eight largest cities in the United States). In southern California there are also twelve cities with more than 200,000 residents and 34 cities over 100,000 in population. Many of southern California's most developed cities lie along or in close proximity to the coast, with the exception of San Bernardino and Riverside. |
What is the canister for this coffee press made of? | I'm not actually using this for coffee, I kinda prefer drip coffee (or espresso, but I'm too cheap to buy an espresso maker). I'm using this press for tea, loose leaves of course, usually blue flower earl grey or Irish breakfast tea, my two fave flavors.The great improvement in this coffee press, compared to the press I already owned is that this one has a glass canister part for holding the hot liquid. My old coffee press had a clear plastic canister, which meant that I could only use it for tea because using it for coffee would have made the canister smell like coffee and then all subsequent cups of tea would have tasted a bit like a coffee+tea hybrid, eek, that is a bad, bad combo.Like my other press, the plunger has a two part filtration system , they rinse off well for cleaning and make it easy to stay tidy (I'm a terrible housekeeper and easy to clean kitchen tools are a huge bonus in my mind). |
What does the name Pattaya refer to? | When his army arrived in the vicinity of what is now Pattaya, Phraya Tak encountered the troops of a local leader named Nai Klom, who tried to intercept him. When the two met face to face, Nai Klom was impressed by Phraya Tak's dignified manner and his army's strict discipline. He surrendered without a fight and joined his forces. The place the armies confronted each other was thereafter known as "Thap Phraya", which means the "army of the Phraya". This later became Pattaya, the name of the wind blowing from the south-west to the north-east at the beginning of the rainy season. |
What are the ties that best described what the "eight counties" are based on? | Southern California, often abbreviated SoCal, is a geographic and cultural region that generally comprises California's southernmost 10 counties. The region is traditionally described as "eight counties", based on demographics and economic ties: Imperial, Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, San Bernardino, San Diego, Santa Barbara, and Ventura. The more extensive 10-county definition, including Kern and San Luis Obispo counties, is also used based on historical political divisions. Southern California is a major economic center for the state of California and the United States. |
Which set is not inspiring? | I use this set for cutting gum paste forms for cake decorating. For that purpose, they are excellent. They are sharp and make clean cuts. For a butterfly theme party, it gives you a good variety of butterflies (although a couple are more moth shaped than butterfly shaped). The flower part of the assortment isnot particularly inspiring, but one of the "flowers" is ctually sun-shaped which works for me because I didn't havea sun in my fondant cutter collection.I took a point off because good cutters have a sharp side and a rolled side to make it easy to work with. The rolled side of this set is still pretty sharp, making it uncomfortable to handle when you're trying to cut a lot of shapes. |
Who produced Linkin Park's 2007 album? | Linkin Park returned to the recording studios in 2006 to work on new material. To produce the album, the band chose producer Rick Rubin. Despite initially stating the album would debut sometime in 2006, the album was delayed until 2007. The band had recorded thirty to fifty songs in August 2006, when Shinoda stated the album was halfway completed. Bennington later added that the new album would stray away from its previous nu metal sound. Warner Bros. Records officially announced that the band's third studio album, titled Minutes to Midnight, would be released on May 15, 2007 in the United States. After spending fourteen months working on the album, the band members opted to further refine their album by removing five of the original seventeen tracks. The album's title, a reference to the Doomsday Clock, foreshadowed the band's new lyrical themes. Minutes to Midnight sold over 625,000 copies in its first week, making it one of the most successful debut week albums in recent years. The album also took the top spot on the Billboard Charts. |
When are the new Sky Q products going to be available? | On 18 November 2015, Sky announced Sky Q, a range of products and services to be available in 2016. The Sky Q range consists of three set top boxes (Sky Q, Sky Q Silver and Sky Q Mini), a broadband router (Sky Q Hub) and mobile applications. The Sky Q set top boxes introduce a new user interface, Wi-Fi hotspot functionality, Power-line and Bluetooth connectivity and a new touch-sensitive remote control. The Sky Q Mini set top boxes connect to the Sky Q Silver set top boxes with a Wi-Fi or Power-line connection rather than receive their own satellite feeds. This allows all set top boxes in a household to share recordings and other media. The Sky Q Silver set top box is capable of receiving and displaying UHD broadcasts, which Sky will introduce later in 2016. |
What is the usage for the large cutting board? | This 3-piece bamboo cutting board set feels pretty sturdy and it's versatile. I like the fact that the boards are three different sizes, for example, no sense getting a large cutting board dirty if you're just going to cut some cheese, while the larger boards come in handy for cutting fruit and vegetables. They're also great for entertaining. I also like the fact that they're made out of bamboo.The only thing I didn't care for was that they are not machine washable, but it's not a big deal and it won't stop me from using them as I feel that the pros outweigh the cons. |
Who is in charge of the production of literature and art in Korea? | The state and the Korean Workers' Party control the production of literature and art. In the early 1990s, there was no evidence of any underground anti-regime literary or cultural movements such as the samizdat in the Soviet Union or those that exist in the People's Republic of China. The party exercises control over culture through its Propaganda and Agitation Department and the Culture and Arts Department of the KWP's Central Committee. The KWP's General Federation of Korean Literature and Arts Unions, the parent body for all literary and artistic organizations, also directs cultural activity. Due to widespread media control, some analysts have characterized North Koreans as censorees. |
When was the Battle of Hastings? | In 1066, Duke William II of Normandy conquered England killing King Harold II at the Battle of Hastings. The invading Normans and their descendants replaced the Anglo-Saxons as the ruling class of England. The nobility of England were part of a single Normans culture and many had lands on both sides of the channel. Early Norman kings of England, as Dukes of Normandy, owed homage to the King of France for their land on the continent. They considered England to be their most important holding (it brought with it the title of King—an important status symbol). |
How is the actual storage bag made in relation to the picture? | The storage bag I got is different from the picture. It's a mesh see-through material, where in the picture it doesn't look like it would be see-through. It still does what it's supposed to, so no complaints. I love the velcro loop at the top that I can use to hang it on the bar under the shelf in my closet. |
When was a media event held? | After Armstrong served as backup commander for Apollo 8, Slayton offered him the post of commander of Apollo 11 on December 23, 1968, as Apollo 8 orbited the Moon. In a meeting that was not made public until the publication of Armstrong's biography in 2005, Slayton told him that although the planned crew was Commander Armstrong, Lunar Module Pilot Buzz Aldrin, and Command Module Pilot Michael Collins, he was offering Armstrong the chance to replace Aldrin with Jim Lovell. After thinking it over for a day, Armstrong told Slayton he would stick with Aldrin, as he had no difficulty working with him and thought Lovell deserved his own command. Replacing Aldrin with Lovell would have made Lovell the lunar module pilot, unofficially the lowest ranked member, and Armstrong could not justify placing Lovell, the commander of Gemini 12, in the number 3 position of the crew. The crew of Apollo 11 was officially announced on January 9, 1969, as Armstrong, Collins, and Aldrin, with Lovell, Anders, and Fred Haise as the backup crew.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. A press conference on April 14, 1969, gave the design of the LM cabin as the reason for Armstrong's being first; the hatch opened inwards and to the right, making it difficult for the lunar module pilot, on the right-hand side, to exit first. At the time of their meeting, the four men did not know about the hatch consideration. The first knowledge of the meeting outside the small group came when Kraft wrote his book. Methods of circumventing this difficulty existed, but it is not known if these were considered at the time. Slayton added, "Secondly, just on a pure protocol basis, I figured the commander ought to be the first guy out ... I changed it as soon as I found they had the time line that showed that. Bob Gilruth approved my decision." |
How is best-case time complexity written as an expression? | If the input size is n, the time taken can be expressed as a function of n. Since the time taken on different inputs of the same size can be different, the worst-case time complexity T(n) is defined to be the maximum time taken over all inputs of size n. If T(n) is a polynomial in n, then the algorithm is said to be a polynomial time algorithm. Cobham's thesis says that a problem can be solved with a feasible amount of resources if it admits a polynomial time algorithm. |
Can it be used in a narrow space? | I was expecting high about this heater.But I did not like few things about this unit. The light is too bright. If we put it at front side of visibility, it distract reading. The cord comes with certain length (~4 feet I think), which made it difficult to place it somewhere where it can give heat from behind. Size is little bigger, so you cannot just place it anywhere. This heats up the object where the light fells, so better not to use in narrow space (potential fire hazard). Also I wanted to use it to warm up my toes, but it was not possible to change the angle down to floor ( probably safety issue for carpet).Might be good if you do mind the light or want to use it ourdoor. |
What is one name of an internet browser? | Selenium WebDriver is the successor to Selenium RC. Selenium WebDriver accepts commands (sent in Selenese, or via a Client API) and sends them to a browser. This is implemented through a browser-specific browser driver, which sends commands to a browser and retrieves results. Most browser drivers actually launch and access a browser application (such as Firefox, Chrome, Internet Explorer, Safari, or Microsoft Edge); there is also an HtmlUnit browser driver, which simulates a browser using the headless browser HtmlUnit. |
What is the high end of the temperature range in winter? | Southern California contains a Mediterranean climate, with infrequent rain and many sunny days. Summers are hot and dry, while winters are a bit warm or mild and wet. Serious rain can occur unusually. In the summers, temperature ranges are 90-60's while as winters are 70-50's, usually all of Southern California have Mediterranean climate. But snow is very rare in the Southwest of the state, it occurs on the Southeast of the state. |
What is the one major expense of HEPA filters that occurs over the years? | This is a no frills HEPA air filter in terms of its aesthetic: it's an efficiently designed rectangle, and though it's not snazzy on the outside, it's not offensive or obtrusive either.It sits in my home office, and does its thing quite well: cleansing the air, and overall improving the living conditions in a space in which I spend entirely too much time.I ordered this unit because I had begun to develop dust allergies in my mid-thirties and was having trouble focusing and getting work done. I noticed an improvement in the way I was feeling shortly after the unit was put into operation.The unit, though not cheap, is a particularly reliable model and is extremely cost-effective to operate over time. As any one who has done the research can tell you, the true expense with HEPA filters is not necessarily the up-front purchase cost, but the cost of replacement filters over the course of the years. Austin's design is one they stand behind with a 5 year warranty, and a filter rated at needing replacement once every 5 years... yes, you read that right. All you need do in order to achieve this longevity is to vacuum the pre-filter every few months. This is accomplished by running a bristled vacuum wand over the outer surface grating. It's simple. It really is: set a reminder in your calendar to run the vacuum over it and you're safe.The unit doesn't take up a lot of room, though it does produce a fair bit of sound in 2 of its 3 settings. The base setting is actually pretty quiet, but the middle and upper settings are noisy - the trade off is that at these settings it moves A LOT of air, which is what you want if you're trying to quick cleanse a room. To give you an idea of what I'm trying to say, while you likely wouldn't have a hard time sleeping with setting 1, you might with setting 2, and you DEFINITELY would with setting 3. Of course, everyone's mileage varies and I'm using words to describe an audible volume, which is not the same as hearing it yourself. As I said earlier: it's in my office, not my bedroom, so I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER with its performance.If you're looking for a bedroom model, you might look into an Alen A350 HEPA Air Purifier (wall mountable and quieter.) |
When was an announcement made regarding the film? | The film was announced in October 2014 as Avengers: Infinity War – Part 1. The Russo brothers came on board to direct in April 2015, and a month later Markus and McFeely had signed on to write the script for the film, which draws inspiration from Jim Starlin's 1991 comic book The Infinity Gauntlet and Jonathan Hickman's 2013 comic book Infinity. In 2016, Marvel shortened the title to Avengers: Infinity War. Filming began in January 2017 at Pinewood Atlanta Studios in Fayette County, Georgia, with a large cast consisting mostly of actors reprising their roles from previous MCU films, including Brolin as Thanos. The production lasted until July 2017, shooting back-to-back with a direct sequel, Avengers: Endgame. Additional filming took place in Scotland, England, the Downtown Atlanta area, and New York City. With an estimated budget of $316–400 million, it is one of the most expensive films ever made. |
What was Virgin Media rebranded as? | On 8 February 2007, BSkyB announced its intention to replace its three free-to-air digital terrestrial channels with four subscription channels. It was proposed that these channels would offer a range of content from the BSkyB portfolio including sport (including English Premier League Football), films, entertainment and news. The announcement came a day after Setanta Sports confirmed that it would launch in March as a subscription service on the digital terrestrial platform, and on the same day that NTL's services re-branded as Virgin Media. However, industry sources believe BSkyB will be forced to shelve plans to withdraw its channels from Freeview and replace them with subscription channels, due to possible lost advertising revenue. |
What is the distance between the top and bottom screws? | This looks good and does the job well. But be mindful of its dimensions, placement of the screw holes and the dimensions of your cabinet. If you plan to hang it on the wall - you should have no worries. If you plan to hang it inside a kitchen cabinet, keep in mind:1- you will have to hang it low enough to allow for the top lid to clear the inside frame of the cabinet, and for the bottom to clear the cabinet frame.2 - before drilling any holes, check the sickness of you cabinet door in those specific spots. My cabinets have carved face, so the sickness of the door is very thin and I could not drill the holes for the lower two screws. I ended up using screw for the top hole, and command hooks for the bottom support. And I had to find my own very short screw for the top hole3 - you might have to use command hooks for the support if you cannot use any screws for any holes. But the lids add up to a lot of weight4- consider the depth that the lids will take inside the cabinet once the door is closedThe distance between the top screw and the bottom screws is about 16.5 inches |

What's the visual appeal of this microwave? | The iWavecube microwave doesn't look like your typical microwave. My friends and co-workers have all found the need to check mine out. It is small and doesn't take up much space and it looks "space-aged" according to a couple people.I've nuked a few things in it including popcorn, sandwiches and soup and everything turned out just perfect. Since this unit isn't as powerful as full size microwaves it takes a little longer to do some jobs, but the space saving design is perfect for offices, dorms, or any other small spaces where a full size microwave isn't possible.Try it out, you won't be disappointed. Just be prepared for all the attention it draws. |
Which holiday is celebrated by the Ukranians? | In total, the number of ethnic Ukrainians who fought in the ranks of the Soviet Army is estimated from 4.5 million to 7 million. The pro-Soviet partisan guerrilla resistance in Ukraine is estimated to number at 47,800 from the start of occupation to 500,000 at its peak in 1944, with about 50% being ethnic Ukrainians. Generally, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army's figures are unreliable, with figures ranging anywhere from 15,000 to as many as 100,000 fighters.Most of the Ukrainian SSR was organised within the Reichskommissariat Ukraine, with the intention of exploiting its resources and eventual German settlement. Some western Ukrainians, who had only joined the Soviet Union in 1939, hailed the Germans as liberators. Brutal German rule eventually turned their supporters against the Nazi administrators, who made little attempt to exploit dissatisfaction with Stalinist policies. Instead, the Nazis preserved the collective-farm system, carried out genocidal policies against Jews, deported millions of people to work in Germany, and began a depopulation program to prepare for German colonisation. They blockaded the transport of food on the Kiev River.The vast majority of the fighting in World War II took place on the Eastern Front. By some estimates, 93% of all German casualties took place there. The total losses inflicted upon the Ukrainian population during the war are estimated at about 6 million, including an estimated one and a half million Jews killed by the Einsatzgruppen, sometimes with the help of local collaborators. Of the estimated 8.7 million Soviet troops who fell in battle against the Nazis, 1.4 million were ethnic Ukrainians. Victory Day is celebrated as one of ten Ukrainian national holidays. |
How is California divided? | Southern California is divided culturally, politically, and economically into distinctive regions, each containing its own culture and atmosphere, anchored usually by a city with both national and sometimes global recognition, which are often the hub of economic activity for its respective region and being home to many tourist destinations. Each region is further divided into many culturally distinct areas but as a whole combine to create the southern California atmosphere. |
Which doesn't have a lid? | EDIT 7/1/2014: After dropping one of the lids, the plastic "Farberware" log broke and fell out. The lid is still usable, but it causes me to wonder about how sturdy these pans really are. That said, the pans non-stick surface is still very non-stick, and the cooking surface appears to be quality. Just thought I needed to make a note that you may need to be more careful with these pans than I originally thought.The non-stick coating on these pans is quality, and it appears that it will endure the test of time.The first test was the baking sheet, with olive oil brushed on chicken. The oven was 375 F, and the chicken didn't even think of sticking. The only issue (which was more an annoyance than a problem) was that, 2 minutes into cooking, I heard a very loud pop. Sure enough, the pan had a 2-inch warp to it. After the chicken was finished cooking, and the pan had cooled, the warp was gone, and the pan back to its normal flat. While this is slightly irritating, it won't affect the pan's cooking ability.The second test was eggs fried in the 8" skillet. I was a bit concerned because the interior of the pan is quite textured, and I was sure the eggs would stick in the groves of the texture. They didn't. All that was necessary was bit of vegetable spray on the pan before cooking, and the eggs practically slid right outta the pan when they were finished cooking. The only thing that bothered me is that the pan doesn't have a matching lid, as none of the lids from the other pans fit this one. However, if I cook anything where I need to keep the steam in, I can cover the pan with aluminum foil. However, if having a fitting lid is something you really want/need, you need to know that you won't get one with 8-inch skillet. All the other pans have fitting lids.I like that this set comes with nylon utensils. I already had some, but you really can't have too many cooking utensils, so I appreciated that addition.These pans look like they will last, as will the non-stick coating. I really appreciate that they're dishwasher safe, as that makes clean-up for my large family a snap. |
What year did the King die? | When King Sobhuza II died on 21 August 1982, the Great Council of State (the Liqoqo) selected the 14-year-old prince Makhosetive to be the next king. For the next four years two wives of Sobhuza II, Queen Dzeliwe Shongwe (1982–1983) and Queen Ntfombi Tfwala (1983–1986), served as regent while he continued his education in the United Kingdom, attending Sherborne School (International College), before he was called back to ascend to the throne. |
What is southern California's economy completely dependent upon? | Southern California's economy is diverse and one of the largest in the United States. It is dominated and heavily dependent upon abundance of petroleum, as opposed to other regions where automobiles not nearly as dominant, the vast majority of transport runs on this fuel. Southern California is famous for tourism and Hollywood (film, television, and music). Other industries include software, automotive, ports, finance, tourism, biomedical, and regional logistics. The region was a leader in the housing bubble 2001–2007, and has been heavily impacted by the housing crash. |
How does the reviewer feel about her toaster purchase? | This is definetly the most Beautiful Toaster I have ever seen, a Bright Candy Apple Red. The controls are excellent and the inside of a bagel etc... needs to be pointed in. The end that is cut. Some have complained about not toasting one side, I read the directions before use and it explained all of the things that were discussed in the reviews negatively. It is an Excellent Toaster ! Doesn't take up too much counter space and toasts nice size pieces of bread if you make homemade bread. I love my Beautiful Candy Apple Red Toaster and the Price too was Excellent. No complaints from me at all ! I'm very happy with my purchase. |
Along with the Gendarmerie, who else operates security forces in peactime? | The Turkish Armed Forces (TAF; Turkish: Türk Silahlı Kuvvetleri, TSK) are the military forces of the Republic of Turkey. They consist of the Army, the Navy and the Air Force. The Gendarmerie and the Coast Guard, both of which have law enforcement and military functions, operate as components of the internal security forces in peacetime, and are subordinate to the Ministry of Interior. In wartime, they are subordinate to the Army and Navy. The President of Turkey is the military's overall head. |
What does the deterministic parting algorithm quicksort do? | For example, consider the deterministic sorting algorithm quicksort. This solves the problem of sorting a list of integers that is given as the input. The worst-case is when the input is sorted or sorted in reverse order, and the algorithm takes time O(n2) for this case. If we assume that all possible permutations of the input list are equally likely, the average time taken for sorting is O(n log n). The best case occurs when each pivoting divides the list in half, also needing O(n log n) time. |
How do the burgers fit the bun? | This patty press is just perfect. You can't beat the price. It cleans up in a snap. We make 1/4 lb. and 1/2 lb. burgers without much effort. The bottom part has a piece that lifts out, so you don't have to worry about the burgers sticking. The bottom piece impresses a dimple into the burgers, so they cook more evenly and don't puff up in the middle. The shape is perfect and fits nicely on the bun. One thing we discovered by trial and error is: if you are using the patty papers for freezing, don't put the paper in the press. Press out your burgers first, then layer the papers in between the burgers to prevent sticking when frozen. When you put the paper into the press, the paper gets embedded into the meat and it is very difficult to peel the paper off of the frozen burger. |
which version of the flu can you take rimantadine for? | Neuraminidase inhibitors may be used to treat viral pneumonia caused by influenza viruses (influenza A and influenza B). No specific antiviral medications are recommended for other types of community acquired viral pneumonias including SARS coronavirus, adenovirus, hantavirus, and parainfluenza virus. Influenza A may be treated with rimantadine or amantadine, while influenza A or B may be treated with oseltamivir, zanamivir or peramivir. These are of most benefit if they are started within 48 hours of the onset of symptoms. Many strains of H5N1 influenza A, also known as avian influenza or "bird flu", have shown resistance to rimantadine and amantadine. The use of antibiotics in viral pneumonia is recommended by some experts, as it is impossible to rule out a complicating bacterial infection. The British Thoracic Society recommends that antibiotics be withheld in those with mild disease. The use of corticosteroids is controversial. |
A single line connects San Bernardino, Riverside and what other county? | Six of the seven lines of the commuter rail system, Metrolink, run out of Downtown Los Angeles, connecting Los Angeles, Ventura, San Bernardino, Riverside, Orange, and San Diego counties with the other line connecting San Bernardino, Riverside, and Orange counties directly. |
How cold does it keep liquids? | I guess I don't have to add much here considering all the excellent reviews on this bottle. Everyone has managed to say what I would have said. So I'll just reiterate on what is most important and that's quality. This is a very sturdy, solid feeling bottle which does everything as described in the ad. It does not sweat, it does not leak, it is easy to clean, the opening is wide enough to add ice and it sure keeps liquids icy cold for a very long time. I take mine to bed with some ice in water; 12 hours later the ice is pretty much the same size and of course, the water is still icy cold. I love the pop up lid and the flow of liquids from the opening is wonderful. I ordered three, then ordered the 22 ounce bottle and about to order a second one now. This will come in handy for my little grandson when on trips this summer. I'm impressed and very, very pleased! Excellent product. |
What happen during the 30 years war? | As the 16th century was passing, the late humanism stepped beside Calvinism as a predominant school of thought; and figures like Paul Schede, Jan Gruter, Martin Opitz, and Matthäus Merian taught at the university. It attracted scholars from all over the continent and developed into a cultural and academic center. However, with the beginning of the Thirty Years' War in 1618, the intellectual and fiscal wealth of the university declined. In 1622, the then-world-famous Bibliotheca Palatina (the library of the university) was stolen from the University Cathedral and taken to Rome. The reconstruction efforts thereafter were defeated by the troops of King Louis XIV, who destroyed Heidelberg in 1693 almost completely.As a consequence of the late Counter-Reformation, the university lost its Protestant character, and was channeled by Jesuits. In 1735, the Old University was constructed at University Square, then known as Domus Wilhelmina. Through the efforts of the Jesuits a preparatory seminary was established, the Seminarium ad Carolum Borromæum, whose pupils were also registered in the university. After the suppression of the Jesuit Order, most of the schools they had conducted passed into the hands of the French Congregation of Lazarists in 1773. They deteriorated from that time forward, and the university itself continued to lose in prestige until the reign of the last elector Charles Theodore, Elector Palatine, who established new chairs for all the faculties, founded scientific institutes such as the Electoral Academy of Science, and transferred the school of political economy from Kaiserslautern to Heidelberg, where it was combined with the university as the faculty of political economy. He also founded an observatory in the neighboring city of Mannheim, where Jesuit Christian Mayer labored as director. In connection with the four hundredth anniversary of the university, the elector approved a revised statute book that several professors had been commissioned to prepare. The financial affairs of the university, its receipts and expenditures, were put in order. At that time, the number of students varied from 300 to 400; in the jubilee year, 133 matriculated. As a consequence of the disturbances caused by the French Revolution, and particularly because of the Treaty of Lunéville, the university lost all its property on the left bank of the Rhine, so that its complete dissolution was expected. |
Is the output of a functional solution typically characterized by a simple or complex answer? | A function problem is a computational problem where a single output (of a total function) is expected for every input, but the output is more complex than that of a decision problem, that is, it isn't just yes or no. Notable examples include the traveling salesman problem and the integer factorization problem. |
Why does the author enjoy the stainless steel handle? | The package that this arrived in was much bigger than I expected, but it was well protected. My initial complaint would be that there were no instructions. Not even a "how to care for your new pan" pamphlet floated out of the packing material. I would think that for an item at this price point you would at least tell the purchaser how to care for it.The pan is solid. I liked the stainless steel handle for the "ooh shiny" and a bit of high tech effect. I washed it before I used it. I put it on the double burner on my ceramic top. Let it heat up for about 3-4 minutes. I tested heat by dropping water on it. When the water bounced and sizzled, I put on my steak that I'd had marinating.Make sure your exhaust fans work. Naturally it threw off a lot of smoke. I did 3 minutes per side and got a gorgeously marked steak. If you pay attention when you flip, you can get nice crossing on the grill lines. The steak was done a little more than I like but I can just shorten my grill time next. The veggies were more problematic in that they stuck. I think as the cast iron gets seasoned more, that won't be as much of an issue.Storing it is an issue in my tiny kitchen. It might be nice if the handle collapsed out of the way or was removable. All in all, I am glad I got this via VINE. For someone like me who lives where there is a "no flame" HOA rule, I can still get my grill on. I do think this will help me eat more healthily as well. Less grease is always a good thing. |
What were the two main wishes of the Muslim girl? | A Muslim girl wishes to become a muezzin like her father and to call out the azaan. She steals the fried fish her mother cooks for the men in the house and says that doing so is not morally wrong because Padachon (creator-god) would understand that girls are not given enough food. Her father then censures her, telling her that women should get only half of everything that men have. To this, the girl impishly asks why then women shouldn't wear only half of what men do.Amidst these struggles, she expresses her wish to call out the azaan. Her father answers all her queries by referring to a big book (Kithab), and he locks her away so she would not perform in a play (a play within the play) again. He tells her she will not reach heaven if she continues to do such things."If I'd lose entry to heaven because I sing and dance, then I don't want that heaven," she says. The father is even ready to kill the girl when she performs at the school play despite his wishes. When her mother reminds him that he is not just the muezzin, but also a father, he allows her to call out the azaan, and the drama ends with the girl calling out the azaan and the rest praying. |
What is the general term used to describe the output to any given input in a problem instance? | A computational problem can be viewed as an infinite collection of instances together with a solution for every instance. The input string for a computational problem is referred to as a problem instance, and should not be confused with the problem itself. In computational complexity theory, a problem refers to the abstract question to be solved. In contrast, an instance of this problem is a rather concrete utterance, which can serve as the input for a decision problem. For example, consider the problem of primality testing. The instance is a number (e.g. 15) and the solution is "yes" if the number is prime and "no" otherwise (in this case "no"). Stated another way, the instance is a particular input to the problem, and the solution is the output corresponding to the given input. |
What happened after the buzzing? | It's too late to send this back!! (fume!!) This chopper arrived exactly as amazon promised,but I'd bought it earlier than I needed, as I'd bought it to puree and chop homemade baby food for my grandson,he is just at the right age now,so I decided to give this chopper it's first practice run yesterday to chop a few walnut halves to go into the scones I was making....first buzz was fine......there was NO second, third or any other buzz.....THE WHOLE CHOPPER IS KAPUT,DEAD, DOES NOT WORK AT ALL!!!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY ON THIS!!!! |
When was the film Gandhi released? | The view of Jinnah in the West has been shaped to some extent by his portrayal in Sir Richard Attenborough's 1982 film, Gandhi. The film was dedicated to Nehru and Mountbatten and was given considerable support by Nehru's daughter, the Indian prime minister, Indira Gandhi. It portrays Jinnah (played by Alyque Padamsee) in an unflattering light, who seems to act out of jealousy of Gandhi. Padamsee later stated that his portrayal was not historically accurate.In a journal article on Pakistan's first governor-general, historian R. J. Moore wrote that Jinnah is universally recognised as central to the creation of Pakistan. Stanley Wolpert summarises the profound effect that Jinnah had on the world: |
Where is Los Angeles a district of? | The motion picture, television, and music industry is centered on the Los Angeles in southern California. Hollywood, a district within Los Angeles, is also a name associated with the motion picture industry. Headquartered in southern California are The Walt Disney Company (which also owns ABC), Sony Pictures, Universal, MGM, Paramount Pictures, 20th Century Fox, and Warner Brothers. Universal, Warner Brothers, and Sony also run major record companies as well. |
What feels slippery? | i haven't used it but i like the construction.very sturdy and the coating feels slippery.i see some reviewers feel they don't have to use linersor grease but the manufacturer suggests grease. |
How long did William and Arthur work on their motor-bicycle? | In 1901, 20 year-old William S. Harley drew up plans for a small engine with a displacement of 7.07 cubic inches (116 cc) and four-inch (102 mm) flywheels designed for use in a regular pedal-bicycle frame. Over the next two years, he and his childhood friend Arthur Davidson worked on their motor-bicycle using the northside Milwaukee machine shop at the home of their friend Henry Melk. It was finished in 1903 with the help of Arthur's brother Walter Davidson. Upon testing their power-cycle, Harley and the Davidson brothers found it unable to climb the hills around Milwaukee without pedal assistance, and they wrote off their first motor-bicycle as a valuable learning experiment.The three began work on a new and improved machine with an engine of 24.74 cubic inches (405 cc) with 9.75 inches (25 cm) flywheels weighing 28 lb (13 kg). Its advanced loop-frame pattern was similar to the 1903 Milwaukee Merkel motorcycle designed by Joseph Merkel, later of Flying Merkel fame. The bigger engine and loop-frame design took it out of the motorized bicycle category and marked the path to future motorcycle designs. They also received help with their bigger engine from outboard motor pioneer Ole Evinrude, who was then building gas engines of his own design for automotive use on Milwaukee's Lake Street. |
What is the name of the state that the megaregion expands to in the east? | The 8- and 10-county definitions are not used for the greater Southern California Megaregion, one of the 11 megaregions of the United States. The megaregion's area is more expansive, extending east into Las Vegas, Nevada, and south across the Mexican border into Tijuana. |
How does the scale seem to measure? | This scale seems to measure just fine - it agrees with the other kitchen scale that only works if you hold the button down, and with the weights listed on various packaging.My only complaint about it is that it is slightly unstable. The transparent platter rests on a fairly small central circle, so if you try to heap loose produce on it, it may wobble. It's easy enough to put a bowl on it and tare it before measuring anything that risks toppling - you can still see the numbers just fine - i just wish i didn't have to. |
What type of emissions are still present? | Airbus has committed to the "Flightpath 2050", an aviation industry plan to reduce noise, CO2, and NOx emissions.Airbus was the first aerospace business to become ISO 14001 certified, in January 2007; this is a broader certification covering the whole organisation, not just the aircraft it produces.In association with Honeywell and JetBlue Airbus has developed a biofuel to reduce pollution and dependence on fossil fuels, claiming that this has the potential to replace up to a third of the world's aviation fuel. Algae-based biofuel absorbs carbon dioxide during growth and does not compete with food production. This alternative may be commercially available by 2030 but algae and other vegetation-based fuels are in an early stage of development and fuel-bearing algae has been expensive to develop. Airbus offers delivery flights to airlines using a 10% biofuel blend in standard engines. The fuel does not cut carbon emissions but is free of sulphur emissions and demonstrates that the fuel could be used in commercial flights in unmodified engines. |
What was the name of Bohemond's nephew? | In 1096, Crusaders passing by the siege of Amalfi were joined by Bohemond of Taranto and his nephew Tancred with an army of Italo-Normans. Bohemond was the de facto leader of the Crusade during its passage through Asia Minor. After the successful Siege of Antioch in 1097, Bohemond began carving out an independent principality around that city. Tancred was instrumental in the conquest of Jerusalem and he worked for the expansion of the Crusader kingdom in Transjordan and the region of Galilee.[citation needed] |
Does the company reprint coupons? | I ordered this egg keeper, and love it! However a few days after the order I received a notice stating it would be delayed. Ok I can understand back orders, I accepted the back order, instead of trying to find it somewhere else.Eventually I did receive my product in fine condition, (It's a rubbermaid continer, pretty hard to damage). I also received a coupon in the box stating that I could get $5.00 off my next purchase. The coupon was valid "now through July 31 2005. Unfortunately I received my order in the middle of August. I called and left a message asking if I could get another coupon, no one returned my call. I called again and left a message no one returned my call. I called a third time and they told me that they did not reprint the coupons after they expired I could use the expired one. I tried and the website did not accept it.A little frustrated by the run around, I opted not to call back a fourth time to ask why the expired coupon was not accepted. If you can find this container some where else it's great, go for it! |
