What are early ideas surrounding Neptune?
These "early ideas" don't go back that far, since Neptune wasn't discovered until the mid 19th Century. It was supposed from the beginning to be pretty much the twin of Uranus, and things haven't changed much since. Its only "alteration" has been a temporary demotion from Last Planet, made in 1930 and corrected with the redesignation of Pluto as "dwarf planet."
What is the negative impact of the incoming tourism in Bahrain?
The negative impacts of tourism in Brunei are similar to the impacts that almost every other country experiences from tourism: crowding, redesignation of public "local" resources as resources to be exploited for tourism, overdevelopment of natural areas and beaches, pollution and littering, the corrupting influences of tourists leaving behind their responsibilities on vacation and also forgetting to pack their common sense, morals, etc. in their suitcase, etc. etc. etc...
How much does it cost to operate an aircraft carrier per day?
The Nimitz-class carriers cost was initially around $675 million; that figure has grown to between $4.5 and $6.2 billion to produce. This is due in large part to upgraded multirole systems, hull redesign to improve efficiency, and their role redesignation from strictly attack to ASW and other threat prosecution operations/defense. While the newer carriers may initially cost more to produce, their long-term operational costs are expected to be lower than previous ships of the class.The newest Ford-class carriers are expected to cost around $9 billion each (in 2010 dollars). However, given the history of new-construction programs, that figure is likely to be much higher. There is also a possibility given the current budget situation that DoD will revisit the construction plans due to its overall cost, and opt to continue to build the cheaper Nimitz-class vesselsThe Reagan cost $5 billion.All ten Nimitz-class aircraft carriers were constructed between 1968 and 2006.The total cost of construction for each ship was around $4.5 billion.
WHAT are the provisions of the Flores Consent Decree?
Flores Consent Decree and the resulting proposition 203 have changed the manner by which English language learners are taught in the public schools system in the state of Arizona. These mandated changes are of note in part due to the high ratio of ELL students within the Arizona school system. Some of the changes that have affected students and teachers in the state of Arizona as a result of Flores and proposition 203 are as follows: The time frame allowance/expectation for a student to develop full proficiency in one year, English language learners no longer required to take assessments in their content area, and bilingual options are only available to the student through a special waiver. The Arizona Department of Education time frame allowance mandates that a student to develop English proficiency in one year. The concern with ELL students and teachers under intense time constraints limits the amount of curriculum in English. SEI students are limited in the amount of curriculum they can participate in due to their limited ability to read and write in English. Meeting the maximum time frame allowance mandated could very well be a hindrance in this aspect as the exposure to necessary curriculum is reduced to meet the mandate. The Superintendant of Public instruction made a departure from this mandate in 2003 when the view of endorsing one year oral proficiency and three years for written proficiency was endorsed. As of February 2004 the Arizona Education Secretary announces a substantial change in federal policy in reference to the testing of ELL students in that they are no longer required to take assessments in their content area in their first year in a U.S. school. Also, these test scores will remain grouped with the ELL subgroup test scores for two years following the redesignation of the students becoming regarded and Fluent English Proficient. Finally, bilingual options are only available to the student through a special waiver. This waiver is an option for students who do not have special needs and score at or above the average for their grade level or if their score is below the average for fifth grade. This waiver allows the student to access bilingual options that would be unavailable to them in standard circumstances. The difficulty in determining if a student is eligible for a waiver is the establishment of an "average" score created by ELL students rather than the test being administered to native language students.
What does CV stand for on US war ships?
For the "V"; one source stated "Vessel" and one source has stated "Heavier than air." It's common knowledge that the "C" stands for "Carrier." It's probably "Heavier than Air", as BB stood for battleship, DD stood for destroyer...the second B and second D meaning nothing, but creating uniformity when filing statistical data. During the carriers birth, the USN did have "Airships" (Blimps), and warships did handle them. Thusly, it seems practicle that the USN would separate the classes of "Airships" from "Heavier Than Air" ships. And even though NOBODY uses the term, "Heavier than Air" today...it was very common for people to use that term in the 1920's. Which is the time frame in which "CV" came out.
Why is Ireland divided into Northern Ireland and the Republic of Ireland?
Because they are two different states/countries. The republic is an independent state (although, concerning its membership of the EU, some people people contest this fact - officially, it isan independent state), whereas the north is a part of the United Kingdom (along, with Wales, Scotland, etc.). The separation (also known as partition) is similar to what happened with India and Pakistan when they too achieved independence from being a colony of Britain (on a much smaller scale, obviously). It was a long, slightly confusing process and there are many controversial issues and historical issues surrounding it: plantations, famine, religious bigotry, Civil War, Rebellion, Martyrdom, the Commonwealth, Home Rule, politics, and neutrality. The Troubles (terrorism by both Catholic and protestant groups in the late 20th century) led to further agreements between the two sides.---HistoryBritain had militarily dominated Ireland since the 12th century, and especially after the Tudor conquest of 1603. This culminated in the 1801 Act of Union that made all of Ireland part of Great Britain. Substantial British colonization of the northern part of Ireland continued for 300 years.In 1916 a major rebellion occurred (the Easter Rising), and in 1919 a two-year war for independence broke out, led by groups such as the IRA (Irish Republican Army). Many Irish were not satisfied with the Home Rule offered in 1914 and even then never implemented. During the war, the Government of Ireland Act 1920 was passed, establishing the independent Irish Free State in 1922.However, the act specifically allowed the 6 mostly Protestant counties designated as Northern Ireland to "opt out" and remain part of Great Britain, which they did. This led to the redesignation of the British nation as the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.
