Sadly, they fail to react to the gunfire about them and end up being captured by the Prussian Army. The commander of the army offers them freedom in exchange for the French password.

What is a synonym for knowledge for knowledge's sake?
oblique learning is indirect information, compared to specific, direct organization. Answer: Oblique. How about Abstract for a synonym? Speedlearner34 Alternate Answer: This is the idea that one has no intention of applying what one is learning to anything practical whatsoever. This is the method of choice that aristocracies use to create a class system. The 'aristocrats' are the so-called intellectuals or the one's that give orders and they teach to or educate the 'masses' or the people that take orders and do the practical work of the world. So the synonyms for this might be Scholasticism, Academic, The Prussian Model, Neo-Constructionism as it applies to education, S.L. Vygotsky's methods of education, NEA models of education for America, the model American educators have in mind that results in American girls scoring 'zero' on application questions on international tests. I guess one could include the 'Oxford Model', or any Ivy League school. Or I guess any American High School, except the voced classes. The opposite of such a concept for education would be a system of education that cultivated ideas like having each student ask himself, "How can I apply this idea to my life?" "How can I demonstrate this idea with actual physical models that show how it works and can be used in the real world." "Before I accept this idea how can I prove to myself that it is true or workable for me for what I want in life?"
What is the full form of cmyk in adobe Photoshop?
CMYK is a colorspace used in printing on an inkjet printer or a printing press C - Cyan M - Magenta Y - Yellow K - Black, which uses the letter K because old-time printers called black "key." And for extra fun, where the pigments in traditional inks used to come from: K: Black ink is colored with carbon black. Ink used to be more expensive in the summertime because we got our carbon black from tire companies, they can only make so much of it and in the summer they were using most of it to make tires. An ink company finally decided to build a carbon black machine, and now ink is the same price all year round. M: Magenta pigment came from the scale of a little bug called "cochineal." C: The reason it's called CYAN is it was made out of CYANide gas. They bubbled hydrogen cyanide gas through water then up through glass tubes, and from there into ammonia that would neutralize it. The gas would deposit a blue material called Prussian Blue on the inside of the tubes. After enough was there, they would turn off the gas and wash out the tubes. Y: Yellow pigment was made out of lead. The pigment in the paint they use to put the yellow stripes on the road is still made out of lead. Now we use Azo dyes to get us to the same place, and you could almost put ink on bread and eat it.
What is the origin of the word guy?
It may seem strange that the Serbian noun 'grlo' is related to English 'girl', and it may seem even stranger to speculate that girl has come from the corresponding Proto-Slavic word. However, it all becomes much clearer and plausible if we know that 'grlo' in Serbian also denotes a head of cattle, usually a horse, and also a household member. Aditionally, the original meaning of the noun girl was "child in general" (boy or girl, and that usually marked with plural). The emergence of meaning 'cheljade' (members of a household) in relation to the noun 'grlo' (neck in Serbian) is motivated in Serbian. Proto-IndoEuropean root *guer- gained its expansion -dlo only in BaltoSlavic languages (ProtoSlavic *grъdlo (grdlo) > O.C.S. гръло (grlo), Russian горло (gorlo), Polish gardlo, Old Prussian gircele). In Germanic languages an expected shift had occured: Old High German querka, querechela 'throat', Old Islandic kuerk 'throat, craw'. In Latin gurgulio 'throat, trachea' has l, but doesn't have the meaning of a housold member and could not produce meaning 'girl'. The explanation for this is quite down-to-earth and is verifiable by geography and history. Namely, what we have here is probably the case of Germanic loanword from some Slavic dialect from the north of today's East Germany, the area where West Slavs (Sorbs or Wends) and Anglo-Saxons had been in direct contact!
