The idea of eccentric movement generally speaks to movement from or off a circular path. Picture a round shaft that rotates. Now picture a circular or disc-shaped piece rigidly attached to the end of the shaft and rotating with it. Now picture the disc rigidly fixed to the end of the rotating shaft, but not directly on center. The circle will continue to move around with the shaft, but when the eccentric disc is looked at from the side, the edge of the disc will vary in its distance from the observer owing to the eccentric mount. A common application of this mechanism might be on the drive wheel of a steam locomotive.
On the drive wheel of a steam locomotive, the large driven wheel, the drive wheel, is built onto the end of an axle, and the two are concentric. But if we can picture a situation where we put something that is an "extension" onto the axle, and that this extension sticks out beyond the wheel, and then shift the extension off the center of the main axle, we'll have our eccentric in that shaft extension. If we turn the wheel, the round "extension" will move in a circle, but that circle will move around the center of the main axle and not rotate in alignment with it. Now put a collar around the eccentric, and then connect a straight operating rod to the collar. As the main wheel turns, the eccentric moves with it, and the operating rod will move back and forth along the direction in which it is pointed. This operating shaft is used in steam locomotives to operate a so-called sliding valve.

How many people went to the sutter mill gold rush?

If you check your history books, you will learn that there was about 300,000 men, women and children who want to California in 1849 for the gold rush (check wikipedia).
How are children reproduced in humans?
I'd say this is a joke question but I'll try to answer it properly in case it was not. When a man and woman have unprotected sex, his sperm enter the woman and swim through her uterus and into one of two tubes called Fallopian tubes. If it's the right time in the woman's cycle, that is, an egg has recently been released from one of her ovaries into the fallopian tube, the sperm will fertilise the egg. The egg and sperm each contain half of the DNA needed to form a new life. When they fuse, the genetic material of the baby is created. The baby's single cell begins to divide and by the time it reaches the end of the fallopian tube consists of several thousand cells. It leaves the fallopian tube and enters the uterus. It implants in the lining of the uterus and begins to grow. If nothing goes wrong, after about three weeks the embryo's heart begins to beat. At seven weeks it has a recognisably human face, and by eight weeks it is called a fetus. After twenty-four weeks or six months gestation, a baby born early can sometimes be saved. After seven months, chances of saving the baby if it is born now are quite good. Forty weeks or nine months is the normal gestation period and the baby should be born soon afterwards.

Did the manchus put an end to the ming dynasty?
From the middle of the 15th century, the Ming's power started to decline. The quality of the imperial leadership deteriorated and eunuchs started to exercise control over the emperors, causing great discontent among the bureaucrats and factionalism in the government. Meanwhile, long wars with the Mongols and encroachment of Japanese into east coast weakened Ming rule. In the late 17th century, the rebellion due to the inability of the government to provide food in a time of famine gave a fatal strike to the collapse Ming dynasty. Finally the capture of Beijing by Li Zicheng who called himself 'chuang wang' ended the Ming dynasty. But Li Zicheng was only the emperor for a few moths before the Manchus went into Beijing.

Depends on condition. original cover etc. In general Stieler Atlases tend to be more expensive if maps are being sold separately i.e. sum of total is smaller than individual parts.
3 things to look for: foxing, water markings, non-original markings (invented borders, crayons etc.).
I would say easily $100 for a poor copy. A good copy could get $300-400 on ebay. Antique booksellers may charge twice that amount.

There are various answer to your question. The state can lease land to different types of entities such as oil companies, utility companies, farmers for cultivation, or to operators of recreation areas for such as skiing. The state can purchase the development rights to undeveloped land and as part of the deal make it open to use for passive recreation. State parks and reservations allow people to use the premises by paying an entry or parking fee. The "right" to use state land must be granted by the state through some action by the state.
