Lambda 8300 and Dragon 3264, are electronic devices?
|
Title: Effects of cobalt from lithium ion batteries
Passage: Electronics are the fastest growing trash group on the planet. It is estimated that 41.8 million metric tonnes (Mt) of electronic waste were produced in 2014 alone. That number is also estimated to rise to 50 million metric tonnes by 2018. Of the 41.8 million Mt of electronic waste in 2014, three million Mt were small IT devices such as cell phones, pocket calculators, tablets, personal computers, etc. An additional 12.8 million Mt was items such as vacuum cleaners, electric shavers, and video cameras. Due to the increase in electronic waste being created there is also an increase in the amount batteries being thrown away. Americans alone dispose of over three billion batteries a year. At least 14,000 tons of those three billion batteries are rechargeable Many rechargeable devices, such as those listed above, utilize a Lithium-ion battery (LIB) as their source of power. The issue is that electronic devices are one of the only items disposed of even if they are not broken or defective. In the case of current technology, new is already old. Items that become obsolete are as susceptible to being thrown as ones that are broken. Because of this trend, more and more electronic devices, along with their batteries, are being thrown away improperly. The goal of this page is to increase the awareness of the potential environmental effects of cobalt from lithium ion batteries.
Title: PC 8300
Passage: PC 8300 was a Sinclair ZX81 clone from China with rubber keys, joystick port and monitor port. Identical to Lambda 8300 and Power 3000.

The model numbers reflect the primary difference between the two machines, which have 32 and 64 kilobytes of RAM, respectively.
Title: Standby power
Passage: Standby power, also called vampire power, vampire draw, phantom load, ghost load or leaking electricity ("phantom load" and "leaking electricity" are defined technical terms with other meanings, adopted for this different purpose), refers to the way electric power is consumed by electronic and electrical appliances while they are switched off (but are designed to draw some power) or in a standby mode. This only occurs because some devices claimed to be "switched off" on the electronic interface, but are in a different state from switching off at the plug, or disconnecting from the power point, which can solve the problem of standby power completely. In fact, switching off at the power point is effective enough, there is no need to disconnect all devices from the power point. Some such devices offer remote controls and digital clock features to the user, while other devices, such as power adapters for disconnected electronic devices, consume power without offering any features (sometimes called no-load power). All of the above examples, such as the remote control, digital clock functions andin the case of adapters, no-load powerare switched off just by switching off at the power point. However, for some devices with built-in internal battery, such as a phone, the standby functions can be stopped by removing the battery instead.
Title: Lambda 8300
Passage: The Lambda 8300 was a Sinclair ZX81 clone from Lambda Electronics Limited of Hong Kong.

Despite Nikolaidis' career as a film director in his home country which stretches to the early 1960s he was almost entirely unknown outside Greece before the early 1990s and is still less known outside it and it was only with this film, which has immediately achieved cult status, that international fame came to him and it probably still remans the film for which he is best known today, as exemplified by the fact that it was released on DVD by Synapse Films, the only one of Nikolaidis' films to so far receive a home video release in North America.

Passage: The Basques were among the first to catch whales commercially, and dominated the trade for five centuries, spreading to the far corners of the North Atlantic and even reaching the South Atlantic. The French explorer Samuel de Champlain, when writing about Basque whaling in Terranova (i.e. Newfoundland), described them "as the cleverest men at this fishing". By the early 17th century, other nations entered the trade in earnest, seeking the Basques as tutors, "for [they] were then the only people who understand whaling", lamented the English explorer Jonas Poole. Having learned the trade themselves, other nations adopted their techniques and soon dominated the burgeoning industry often to the exclusion of their former instructors. Basque whaling peaked in the late 16th and early 17th centuries, but was in decline by the late 17th and early 18th centuries. By the 19th century, it was moribund as the right whale was nearly extinct and the bowhead whale was decimated.

Title: Hermeticism (history of science)
Passage: Hermeticism is a historiographical term describing the work that attempts to reconstruct the mode of thought held by 17th century scientists. It primarily traces out the connections of Renaissance (16th century) modes of thought with those of the Scientific Revolution (17th century). This type of analysis began with English historians of science in the 1960s. This category of history of science work has largely subsumed earlier academic philosophers' work on the problem of transition from Aristotelianism to 17th century science.

Title: Evolutionary landscape
Passage: An evolutionary landscape is a metaphor, a construct used to think about and visualize the processes of evolution (e.g. natural selection and genetic drift) acting on a biological entity (e.g., a gene, protein, population, species). This entity can be viewed as searching or moving through a search space. For example, the search space of a gene would be all possible nucleotide sequences. The search space is only part of an evolutionary landscape. The final component is the "y-axis," which is usually fitness. Each value along the search space can result in a high or low fitness for the entity. If small movements through search space cause changes in fitness that are relatively small, then the landscape is considered smooth. Smooth landscapes happen when most fixed mutations have little to no effect on fitness, which is what one would expect with the neutral theory of molecular evolution. In contrast, if small movements result in large changes in fitness, then the landscape is said to be rugged. In either case, movement tends to be toward areas of higher fitness, though usually not the global optima.
Title: Nancy Blackett
Passage: Nancy Blackett is a fictional character in nine of the twelve juvenile novels in Arthur Ransome's "Swallows and Amazons series" of books.

The character appeared in a 1963 BBC television adaptation of "Swallows and Amazons" as well as in a 1974 film adaptation of the book.

Are Sparaxis and Salvinia both types of plant?
|
Title: Salvinia
Passage: Salvinia, a genus in the family Salviniaceae, is a floating fern named in honor of Anton Maria Salvini, a 17th-century Italian scientist. Watermoss is a common name for "Salvinia". The genus was published in 1754 by Jean-Franois Sguier, in his description of the plants found round Verona, "Plantae Veronenses" Twelve species are recognized, at least three of which ("S. molesta", "S. herzogii", and "S. minima") are believed to be hybrids, in part because their sporangia are found to be empty.
Title: Salvinia auriculata
Passage: Salvinia auriculata is a species of plant in the Salviniaceae known by the common names eared watermoss, African payal, and butterfly fern. It is native to the Americas from Mexico south to Argentina and Chile. It is cultivated as an ornamental plant and it has become naturalized in the wild in some places.
Title: Sparaxis
Passage: Sparaxis (harlequin flower) is a genus in the family Iridaceae with about 13 species endemic to Cape Province, South Africa.
Title: Salvinia effect
Passage: The Salvinia effect describes the permanent stabilization of an air layer upon a hierarchically structured surface submerged in water. Based on biological models (e.g. the floating ferns "Salvinia", backswimmer "Notonecta"), biomimetic Salvinia-surfaces are used as drag reducing coatings (up to 30 reduction were previously measured on the first prototypes. When applied to a ship hull, the coating would allow the boat to float on an air-layer; reducing energy consumption and emissions. Such surfaces require an extremely water repellent super-hydrophobic surface and an elastic hairy structure in the millimeter range to entrap air while submerged. The Salvinia effect was discovered by the biologist and botanist Wilhelm Barthlott (University of Bonn) and his colleagues and has been investigated on several plants and animals since 2002. Publications and patents were published between 2006 and 2016. The best biological models are the floating ferns ("Salvinia)" with highly sophisticated hierarchically structured hairy surfaces, and the back swimmers (e.g."Notonecta)" with a complex double structure of hairs (setae) and microvilli (microtrichia). Three of the ten known Salvinia species show a paradoxical chemical heterogenity: hydrophilic hair tips, in addition to the super-hydrophobic plant surface, further stabilizing the air layer.
Title: Sparaxis bulbifera
Passage: Sparaxis bulbifera, commonly known as harlequin flower, is a bulb-forming perennial plant. The species is native to Cape Province in South Africa and naturalised in the Azores and Australia. It grows to between 15 and 60 cm high and has white to cream flowers.

Title: Karl Selter
Passage: Karl Selter (born June 24, 1898 in Koeru, Estonia died January 31, 1958 in Geneva, Switzerland) was an Estonian politician and a Minister of Foreign Affairs of Estonia. He served as Minister of Economic Affairs from 1933 to 1938 and as minister of Foreign affairs from 1938 to 1939. His historically most memorable act was to sign a non-aggression and mutual assistance treaty with the Soviet leaders in Moscow in September 1939. This was also his personal and national Estonian most tragic act. It followed a brutal ultimatum from the Soviet Foreign Minister, Vyacheslav Molotov on September 24. Molotov said to Setler: Estonia gained sovereignty when the Soviet Union was powerless, but you dont think that this can last forever The Soviet Union is now a great power whose interests need to be taken into consideration. I tell youthe Soviet Union needs enlargement of her security guarantee system; for this purpose she needs an exit to the Baltic Sea I ask you, do not compel us to use force against Estonia. The enforced in this manner treaty gave the Soviet army a right to set up military bases in Estonia, and it significantly reduced Estonia's independence until Estonia was formally incorporated into the Soviet Union between June and August 1940. Selter left Estonia in November 1939, resigning both as Foreign Minister and as a member of Parliament. He moved to Geneva, Switzerland as a diplomat. After Germany occupied Estonia between 1941 and 1944, and after it was re-incorporated into the Soviet Union in 1944, he stayed in Switzerland as an exiled diplomat and politician.

Passage: The Second Hundred Years' War (c. 1689 - c. 1815) is a periodization or historical era term used by some historians to describe the series of military conflicts between Great Britain and France that occurred from about 1689 (or some say 1714) to 1815.

Title: Shetland literature
Passage: Shetland literature reflects the history of Shetland: five hundred years of Norse rule, followed by five hundred years of Scottish and British - this, in very simple terms, is the political reality of the last millennium. Before the Norse, millennia of mysterious peoples and an immediately precedent Christian Celtic period; prior to and into the British age, three hundred years of Hanseatic trade with "Dutchies" (usually Dutch, sometimes, Germans). All of these aspects of history have inspired and influenced Shetland's writers - just as the unchanging landscape of the 'Auld Rock', its weather, seasons, its flora and fauna, have provided a touchstone in the midst of sometimes tumultuous change; as the land itself is refuge from that other great favourite subject - the sea.

Which Jacksonville Jaguars season featured some games coached by Doug Marrone, and some games coached by Gus Bradley?
|
Title: 2017 Jacksonville Jaguars season
Passage: The 2017 Jacksonville Jaguars season is the franchise's 23rd season in the National Football League and the first under new head coach Doug Marrone. Marrone was hired after acting as the team's interim head coach for the final two games of the 2016 season. The team will try to end their playoff drought dating back to 2008 and to improve on their 313 record from 2016.
Title: 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars season
Passage: The 2016 Jacksonville Jaguars season was the franchise's 22nd season in the National Football League and the fourth and final under head coach Gus Bradley, who was fired in Week 15. The Jaguars missed the playoffs for the ninth consecutive season.
Title: 2012 Jacksonville Jaguars season
Passage: The Jacksonville Jaguars season was the franchise's 18th season in the National Football League. It was the first under the new ownership of Shahid Khan and the first season for head coach Mike Mularkey. The Jaguars entered the season hoping to improve on their 511 record from 2011 and return to the playoffs for the first time since 2007, but did not and were eliminated from postseason contention. This season marked the third time in the last five seasons in which the Jaguars finished fourth in the AFC South. The Jaguars finished with a 214 record, not only tying the Kansas City Chiefs for the leagues worst record of 2012, but it was also the worst in franchise history. Their 17 record at home was also their lowest home record in team history.
Title: 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars season
Passage: The 1996 Jacksonville Jaguars season was the team's second year in the National Football League, and saw the Jaguars trying to improve on their 412 record from their inaugural season. The Jaguars marked success as they won six of their last seven games of the season and finished with a record of 97. The credit for this midseason turnaround probably lies in the demotion of wide receiver Andre Rison in favor of Jimmy Smith after a game against the St. Louis Rams in which Brunell threw 5 interceptions. The interceptions were blamed on Rison and he was benched. In the team's final game of the regular season against the Atlanta Falcons, needing a win to earn a playoff berth, the Jaguars caught a bit of luck when Morten Andersen missed a 30-yard field goal with less than a minute remaining that would have given the Falcons the lead. The Jaguars clinched the fifth seed in the AFC playoffs.

Passage: The 2015 Jacksonville Jaguars season was the franchise's 21st season in the National Football League and the third under head coach Gus Bradley.

Title: Berman v. Parker
Passage: Berman v. Parker, 348 U.S. 26 (1954) is a landmark decision of the United States Supreme Court that interpreted the Fifth Amendment's Takings Clause: "nor shall private property be taken for public use, without just compensation" in the Fifth Amendment of the United States Constitution.

He has testified before congress on multiple occasions. Halbrooks most important scholarly contribution, however, was the book "That Every Man Be Armed", originally published in 1986. The book was the most thorough analysis of the legal history and original intent of the Second Amendment.
