The Cleveland Browns were a charter member club of the All - America Football Conference ( AAFC ) when the league was founded in 1946 . From 1946 to 1949 , the Browns won each of the league 's four championships . The National Football League ( NFL ) does not recognize the Browns ' AAFC championships ; however , the Pro Football Hall of Fame does recognize the team 's championships , which is reflected in this list . When the AAFC folded in 1949 , the Browns were absorbed into the NFL in 1950 . The Browns went on to win three NFL championships , nearly dominating the NFL in the 1950s , and won one more NFL championship in 1964 . The team has yet to appear in a Super Bowl , however . Overall , the team has won eight championships : four in the AAFC , and four in the NFL .

In mathematics , a sequence is an enumerated collection of objects in which repetitions are allowed . Like a set , it contains members ( also called elements , or terms ) . The number of elements ( possibly infinite ) is called the length of the sequence . Unlike a set , order matters , and exactly the same elements can appear multiple times at different positions in the sequence . Formally , a sequence can be defined as a function whose domain is either the set of the natural numbers ( for infinite sequences ) or the set of the first n natural numbers ( for a sequence of finite length n ) . The position of an element in a sequence is its rank or index ; it is the integer from which the element is the image . It depends on the context or of a specific convention , if the first element has index 0 or 1 . When a symbol has been chosen for denoting a sequence , the nth element of the sequence is denoted by this symbol with n as subscript ; for example , the nth element of the Fibonacci sequence is generally denoted F .

Chromosomal crossover ( or crossing over ) is the exchange of genetic material between homologous chromosomes that results in recombinant chromosomes during sexual reproduction . It is one of the final phases of genetic recombination , which occurs in the pachytene stage of prophase I of meiosis during a process called synapsis . Synapsis begins before the synaptonemal complex develops and is not completed until near the end of prophase I. Crossover usually occurs when matching regions on matching chromosomes break and then reconnect to the other chromosome .

Common law ( also known as judicial precedent or judge - made law , or case law ) is that body of law derived from judicial decisions of courts and similar tribunals . The defining characteristic of `` common law '' is that it arises as precedent . In cases where the parties disagree on what the law is , a common law court looks to past precedential decisions of relevant courts , and synthesizes the principles of those past cases as applicable to the current facts . If a similar dispute has been resolved in the past , the court is usually bound to follow the reasoning used in the prior decision ( a principle known as stare decisis ) . If , however , the court finds that the current dispute is fundamentally distinct from all previous cases ( called a `` matter of first impression '' ) , and legislative statutes are either silent or ambiguous on the question , judges have the authority and duty to resolve the issue ( one party or the other has to win , and on disagreements of law , judges make that decision ) . The court states an opinion that gives reasons for the decision , and those reasons agglomerate with past decisions as precedent to bind future judges and litigants . Common law , as the body of law made by judges , stands in contrast to and on equal footing with statutes which are adopted through the legislative process , and regulations which are promulgated by the executive branch ( the interactions are explained later in this article ) .

Rickrolling , alternatively rick - rolling , is a prank and an Internet meme involving an unexpected appearance of the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song `` Never Gonna Give You Up '' . The meme is a type of bait and switch using a disguised hyperlink . Those led to the music video believing that they were accessing some unrelated material are said to have been rickrolled . The trend has extended to disruptive or humorous appearances of the song in other situations , such as a live appearance of Astley himself in the 2008 Macy 's Thanksgiving Day Parade in New York .

The United States presidential line of succession is the order in which persons may become or act as President of the United States if the incumbent president becomes incapacitated , dies , resigns , or is removed from office ( by impeachment by the House of Representatives and subsequent conviction by the Senate ) . The line of succession is set by the United States Constitution and the Presidential Succession Act of 1947 as subsequently amended to include newly created cabinet offices . The succession follows the order of vice president , Speaker of the House of Representatives , President pro tempore of the Senate , and then the heads of federal executive departments who form the Cabinet of the United States . The Cabinet currently has fifteen members , beginning with the Secretary of State , and followed by the rest in the order of their positions ' creation . Those heads of department who are ineligible to act as president are also ineligible to succeed the president by succession , for example most commonly if they are not a natural - born U.S. citizen .

Slavery in Florida began under Spanish rule and continued under American and later Confederate rule . It was theoretically abolished by President Lincoln 's Emancipation Proclamation of January 1 , 1863 , but this had little effect in Florida . Slavery continued until the end of the Civil War and collapse of the Confederacy in the spring of 1865 , followed by the ratification of the Thirteenth Amendment in December 1865 . Some of the characteristics of slavery -- inability to leave a disagreeable situation -- continued under sharecropping , convict leasing , vagrancy laws . In the 20th and 21st centuries , conditions approximating slavery are found among marginal immigrant populations , especially migrant farm workers and involuntary sex workers .

Program evaluation is a systematic method for collecting , analyzing , and using information to answer questions about projects , policies and programs , particularly about their effectiveness and efficiency . In both the public and private sectors , stakeholders often want to know whether the programs they are funding , implementing , voting for , receiving or objecting to are producing the intended effect . While program evaluation first focuses around this definition , important considerations often include how much the program costs per participant , how the program could be improved , whether the program is worthwhile , whether there are better alternatives , if there are unintended outcomes , and whether the program goals are appropriate and useful . Evaluators help to answer these questions , but the best way to answer the questions is for the evaluation to be a joint project between evaluators and stakeholders .

The Constitutional Convention ( also known as the Philadelphia Convention , the Federal Convention , or the Grand Convention at Philadelphia ) took place from May 25 to September 17 , 1787 , in the old Pennsylvania State House ( later known as Independence Hall because of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence there eleven years before ) in Philadelphia , Pennsylvania . Although the Convention was intended to revise the league of states and first system of government under the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union , which were first proposed in 1776 , adopted by the Second Continental Congress in 1778 and only finally unanimously ratified by the Original Thirteen States by 1781 ) , the intention from the outset of many of its proponents , chief among them James Madison of Virginia and Alexander Hamilton of New York , was to create a new government rather than fix the existing one . The delegates elected George Washington of Virginia , former commanding general of the Continental Army in the late American Revolutionary War ( 1775 - 1783 ) , to preside over the Convention . The result of the Convention was the creation of the Constitution of the United States , placing the Convention among the most significant events in the history of the United States and indeed of worldwide historical , political and social influence .

The Christian rite of baptism has similarities to Tevilah , a Jewish purification ritual of immersing in water which is required for , among other things , conversion , but differs in that Tevilah is repeatable , while baptism is to be performed only once . John the Baptist , who is considered a forerunner to Christianity , used baptism as the central sacrament of his messianic movement . Christians consider Jesus to have instituted the sacrament of baptism . The earliest Christian baptisms were probably normally by immersion , though other modes may have also been used . By the third and fourth centuries , baptism involved catechetical instruction as well as chrismation , exorcisms , laying on of hands , and recitation of a creed . Affusion became the normal mode of baptism between the twelfth and fourteenth centuries , though immersion was still practiced into the sixteenth . In the sixteenth century , Martin Luther retained baptism as a sacrament , but Swiss reformer Huldrych Zwingli considered baptism and the Lord 's supper to be symbolic . Anabaptists denied the validity of infant baptism , which was the normal practice when their movement started and practiced believer 's baptism instead . Several other groups , notably the Baptists and Dunkards , have always practiced baptism by immersion as following the Biblical example .

Ninja rocks are broken shards of spark plugs that are formed by smashing the ceramic portion of the spark plug with a hammer or other large object . Since they can quickly and quietly fracture the glass side windows on most cars , ninja rocks have been used in `` smash - and - grab '' auto burglaries since at least 1995 . They have no traditional association with the ninja or ninjutsu , only being named such due to their `` silent but deadly '' function in burglaries .

Passive immunity is the transfer of active humoral immunity in the form of ready - made antibodies . Passive immunity can occur naturally , when maternal antibodies are transferred to the fetus through the placenta , and it can also be induced artificially , when high levels of antibodies specific to a pathogen or toxin ( obtained from humans , horses , or other animals ) are transferred to non-immune persons through blood products that contain antibodies , such as in immunoglobulin therapy or antiserum therapy . Passive immunization is used when there is a high risk of infection and insufficient time for the body to develop its own immune response , or to reduce the symptoms of ongoing or immunosuppressive diseases . Passive immunization can be provided when people can not synthesize antibodies , and when they have been exposed to a disease that they do not have immunity against .

Biodiversity , a portmanteau of `` bio '' ( life ) and `` diversity '' , generally refers to the variety and variability of life on Earth . According to the United Nations Environment Programme ( UNEP ) , biodiversity typically measures variation at the genetic , the species , and the ecosystem level . Terrestrial biodiversity tends to be greater near the equator , which seems to be the result of the warm climate and high primary productivity . Biodiversity is not distributed evenly on Earth , and is richest in the tropics . These tropical forest ecosystems cover less than 10 percent of earth 's surface , and contain about 90 percent of the world 's species . Marine biodiversity tends to be highest along coasts in the Western Pacific , where sea surface temperature is highest and in the mid-latitudinal band in all oceans . There are latitudinal gradients in species diversity . Biodiversity generally tends to cluster in hotspots , and has been increasing through time , but will be likely to slow in the future .

The War of Currents ( sometimes called War of the Currents or Battle of Currents ) was a format war involving the introduction of competing electric power transmission systems in the late 1880s and early 1890s . It included commercial competition , a debate over electrical safety , and a media / propaganda campaign that grew out of it , with the main players being the direct current ( DC ) based Edison Electric Light Company and the alternating current ( AC ) based Westinghouse Electric Company . It took place during the introduction and rapid expansion of the alternating current standard ( already in use and advocated by several US and European companies ) and its eventual adoption over the direct current distribution system . Three aspects have been conflated into the `` war '' : open competition involving large electric companies and their developing systems , a general fear in the public 's mind of death by accidental electrocution from high voltage AC leading to a debate over its safety and regulation , and the debate and behind - the - scene maneuvers associated with the introduction of the electric chair .

The three - domain system is a biological classification introduced by Carl Woese et al. in 1977 that divides cellular life forms into archaea , bacteria , and eukaryote domains . In particular , it emphasizes the separation of prokaryotes into two groups , originally called Eubacteria ( now Bacteria ) and Archaebacteria ( now Archaea ) . Woese argued that , on the basis of differences in 16S rRNA genes , these two groups and the eukaryotes each arose separately from an ancestor with poorly developed genetic machinery , often called a progenote . To reflect these primary lines of descent , he treated each as a domain , divided into several different kingdoms . Woese initially used the term `` kingdom '' to refer to the three primary phylogenic groupings , and this nomenclature was widely used until the term `` domain '' was adopted in 1990 .

Women 's suffrage in Australia was one of the earliest objectives of the movement for gender equality in Australia . It began to be socially and politically accepted and legislated during the late 19th century , beginning with South Australia in 1894 and Western Australia in 1899 . In 1902 , the newly established Australian Parliament passed the Commonwealth Franchise Act 1902 , which set a uniform law enabling women to vote at federal elections and to stand for the federal Parliament . This removed gender discrimination in relation to electoral rights for federal elections in Australia . By 1911 , the remaining Australian states had legislated for women 's suffrage for state elections .

The path -- goal theory , also known as the path -- goal theory of leader effectiveness or the path -- goal model , is a leadership theory developed by Robert House , an Ohio State University graduate , in 1971 and revised in 1996 . The theory states that a leader 's behavior is contingent to the satisfaction , motivation and performance of his or her subordinates . The revised version also argues that the leader engages in behaviors that complement subordinate 's abilities and compensate for deficiencies . According to Robert House and John Antonakis , the task - oriented elements of the path -- goal model can be classified as a form of instrumental leadership .
