The water cycle , also known as the hydrological cycle or the hydrologic cycle , describes the continuous movement of water on , above and below the surface of the Earth . The mass of water on Earth remains fairly constant over time but the partitioning of the water into the major reservoirs of ice , fresh water , saline water and atmospheric water is variable depending on a wide range of climatic variables . The water moves from one reservoir to another , such as from river to ocean , or from the ocean to the atmosphere , by the physical processes of evaporation , condensation , precipitation , infiltration , surface runoff , and subsurface flow . In doing so , the water goes through different forms : liquid , solid ( ice ) and vapor .

Life expectancy is a statistical measure of the average time an organism is expected to live , based on the year of its birth , its current age and other demographic factors including gender . The most commonly used measure of life expectancy is at birth ( LEB ) , which can be defined in two ways . Cohort LEB is the mean length of life of an actual birth cohort ( all individuals born a given year ) and can be computed only for cohorts born many decades ago , so that all their members have died . Period LEB is the mean length of life of a hypothetical cohort assumed to be exposed , from birth through death , to the mortality rates observed at a given year .

The history of evolutionary psychology began with Charles Darwin , who said that humans have social instincts that evolved by natural selection . Darwin 's work inspired later psychologists such as William James and Sigmund Freud but for most of the 20th century psychologists focused more on behaviorism and proximate explanations for human behavior . E.O. Wilson 's landmark 1975 book , Sociobiology , synthesized recent theoretical advances in evolutionary theory to explain social behavior in animals , including humans . Jerome Barkow , Leda Cosmides and John Tooby popularized the term `` evolutionary psychology '' in their 1992 book The Adapted Mind : Evolutionary Psychology and The Generation of Culture . Like sociobiology before it , evolutionary psychology has been embroiled in controversy , but evolutionary psychologists see their field as gaining increased acceptance overall .

ABC and its variations are initialism mnemonics for essential steps used by both medical professionals and lay persons ( such as first aiders ) when dealing with a patient . In its original form it stands for Airway , Breathing , and Circulation . The protocol was originally developed as a memory aid for rescuers performing cardiopulmonary resuscitation , and the most widely known use of the initialism is in the care of the unconscious or unresponsive patient , although it is also used as a reminder of the priorities for assessment and treatment of patients in many acute medical and trauma situations , from first - aid to hospital medical treatment . Airway , breathing , and circulation are all vital for life , and each is required , in that order , for the next to be effective . Since its development , the mnemonic has been extended and modified to fit the different areas in which it is used , with different versions changing the meaning of letters ( such as from the original ' Circulation ' to ' Compressions ' ) or adding other letters ( such as an optional `` D '' step for Disability or Defibrillation ) .

A full moon is the lunar phase that occurs when the Moon is completely illuminated as seen from Earth . This occurs when Earth is located directly between the Sun and the Moon ( more exactly , when the ecliptic longitudes of the Sun and Moon differ by 180 degrees ) . This means that the hemisphere of the Moon that is facing Earth ( the near side ) is almost fully illuminated by the Sun and appears round ( while the far side is almost completely unlit ) . A full moon occurs every once a month . When the full moon moves into Earth 's shadow , a lunar eclipse occurs , and all or part of the Moon 's face may appear reddish due to the Rayleigh scattering of blue light in Earth 's atmosphere .

On December 8 , 1941 , the United States Congress declared war ( Public Law 77 - 328 , 55 STAT 795 ) on the Empire of Japan in response to that country 's surprise attack on Pearl Harbor the prior day . It was formulated an hour after the Infamy Speech of US President Franklin D. Roosevelt . Japan had sent a message to the United States to its embassy in Washington earlier , but because of problems at the embassy in decoding the very long message -- the high - security level assigned to the declaration meant that only personnel with very high clearances could decode it , which slowed down the process -- it was not delivered to the U.S. Secretary of State until after the Pearl Harbor attack . Following the U.S. declaration , Japan 's allies , Germany and Italy , declared war on the United States , bringing the United States fully into World War II .

In general medicine , enteral administration ( Greek enteros , `` intestine '' ) is food or drug administration via the human gastrointestinal tract . This contrasts with parenteral nutrition or drug administration ( Greek para , `` besides '' + enteros ) , which occurs from routes outside the GI tract , such as intravenous routes . Enteral administration involves the esophagus , stomach , and small and large intestines ( i.e. , the gastrointestinal tract ) . Methods of administration include oral , sublingual ( dissolving the drug under the tongue ) , and rectal . Parenteral administration is via a peripheral or central vein . In pharmacology , the route of drug administration is important because it affects drug metabolism , drug clearance , and thus dosage .

The von Neumann architecture , which is also known as the von Neumann model and Princeton architecture , is a computer architecture based on that described in 1945 by the mathematician and physicist John von Neumann and others in the First Draft of a Report on the EDVAC . This describes a design architecture for an electronic digital computer with parts consisting of a processing unit containing an arithmetic logic unit and processor registers ; a control unit containing an instruction register and program counter ; a memory to store both data and instructions ; external mass storage ; and input and output mechanisms . The meaning has evolved to be any stored - program computer in which an instruction fetch and a data operation can not occur at the same time because they share a common bus . This is referred to as the von Neumann bottleneck and often limits the performance of the system .

The history of watches began in 16th century Europe , where watches evolved from portable spring - driven clocks , which first appeared in the 15th century . Portable timepieces were made possible by the invention of the mainspring in the early 15th century . Nuremberg clockmaker Peter Henlein ( or Henle or Hele ) ( 1485 - 1542 ) is often credited as the inventor of the watch . He was one of the first German craftsman who made `` clock - watches '' ( taschenuhr ) , ornamental timepieces worn as pendants , which were the first timepieces to be worn on the body . His fame is based on a passage by Johann Cochläus in 1511 :

A sound film is a motion picture with synchronized sound , or sound technologically coupled to image , as opposed to a silent film . The first known public exhibition of projected sound films took place in Paris in 1900 , but decades passed before sound motion pictures were made commercially practical . Reliable synchronization was difficult to achieve with the early sound - on - disc systems , and amplification and recording quality were also inadequate . Innovations in sound - on - film led to the first commercial screening of short motion pictures using the technology , which took place in 1923 .

There are perhaps three hundred sign languages in use around the world today . The number is not known with any confidence ; new sign languages emerge frequently through creolization and de novo ( and occasionally through language planning ) . In some countries , such as Sri Lanka and Tanzania , each school for the deaf may have a separate language , known only to its students and sometimes denied by the school ; on the other hand , countries may share sign languages , though sometimes under different names ( Croatian and Serbian , Indian and Pakistani ) . Deaf sign languages also arise outside educational institutions , especially in village communities with high levels of congenital deafness , but there are significant sign languages developed for the hearing as well , such as the speech - taboo languages used in aboriginal Australia . Scholars are doing field surveys to identify the world 's sign languages .

How I Met Your Mother is an American sitcom written and created by Carter Bays and Craig Thomas . It was first aired on September 19 , 2005 on CBS with a thirty - minute pilot episode , and finished its planned nine - year run on March 31 , 2014 after 208 episodes . Set in present - day Manhattan , the series follows the social and romantic lives of Ted Mosby ( Josh Radnor ) and his four best friends , Marshall Eriksen ( Jason Segel ) , Robin Scherbatsky ( Cobie Smulders ) , Lily Aldrin ( Alyson Hannigan ) , and Barney Stinson ( Neil Patrick Harris ) , as Ted seeks out his future wife ( Cristin Milioti ) . The show tells this story through the framing device of `` future '' Ted ( Bob Saget ) as an unreliable narrator who is recounting to his son and daughter the events that led him to their mother . In Seasons 1 -- 8 , episodes are typically set to a similar timeline as its real - world airdate , with the season finale generally taking place in the spring and the next season premiere in the fall , usually with a quick recap of the events that took place during the summer . The final season ( season 9 ) deviates from this format by taking place immediately after the end of the previous season and encompassing only the weekend of Barney 's and Robin 's wedding . The series finale covers several years that follow .
