A slant route is a very quick quick stepping diagnal cut across the field at about a 45 degree angle. INSTRUCTIONS: 1. take three short but quick paces forward to give the cornerback the impression that your route is deeper than it really is, and to give your quarterack enough time to take his 3-step drop. 2. Cut at a sharp angle, about 45 degrees from the line of scrimmage to get the inside advantage of your cornerback and so, with the right timing, the quarterback can throw the ball as soon as you make your cut. 3.make your route sharp and make sure those first few paces forward were convincing. The next steps should be SHALLOW splitting you between the defensive lineman and linebackers. 4 A lot of recievers get this route misconstued with the POST or the FLAG route, given that they are almost identical. * The difference between the slant route and the post route is this: in a post, your paces forward should carry you about 5 to 7 yards deeper. the post is directed toward the goal POST, thus given the name "post route." While, on the other hand, the slant roue simply is more of an uneven route, in the sense that it is more shallow than narrow. While running the slant route, your body should be slanted to the middle linebacker. That is how to run an efficient slant route.

What date did the arms race start?
The arms race did not have an exact starting date. It grew out of the fear and mistrust between the Russians and the rest of the Allies at the close of World War II.
There are other examples of arms races throughout history, but the one that followed WW II was arguably the most significant owing to the fact that nuclear weapons were in the mix.
However the first real official signs of the start of arms race were in response to the first Morrocan crisis of 1905 when Germany began to assert itself more fully in the affairs of other European countries.
What does Massachusetts mean and from what language does it come from?
Massachusetts has two meanings:
The first meaning is the Massachusett people, a tribe. They were nearly wiped out by European, particularly the English. There are small bands of this tribe found in Natick, Canton, and other towns in Massachusetts.
The second meaning means "place with hills". The language is a dialect of Algonquin, most likely Wampanoag or Massachusett.
When did the Original Six begin?
The Original Six is the term used by fans of ice hockey to refer to the six National Hockey League teams that existed from the 1942-43 season through to before the league's expansion in 1967. They are: * Montreal Canadiens (1909, joined NHL 1917) * Toronto Maple Leafs (1917) * Boston Bruins (1924) * Detroit Red Wings (1926) * Chicago Blackhawks (1926) * New York Rangers (1926) The term is a misnomer; as shown above, only the two Canadian teams are founding members of the NHL, and three other expansion teams -- the Montreal Maroons, the New York Americans and the Pittsburgh Pirates were all likewise added to the league after its foundation. The Boston Bruins were the first American franchise, and the other three American teams joined the league in an earlier expansion that enlarged the league to ten teams, its maximum size before 1967. But all six of them do date from the league's first decade, and from 1942 to 1967 the six teams formed the entire league, after such franchises as the Maroons, Americans, and the original Ottawa Senators were bankrupted by the Great Depression. After World War II, the NHL owners consistently rejected any bids for expansion -- including from owners of the still-extant Americans and Maroons franchises -- and in the eyes of many observers changed the criteria for entry every time with a bent to defeating any such bid. The small league that was left meant that the number of players at the NHL level was also small, and so the quality of play was high. There was none of the dilution of talent seen in the NHL in the later "expansion era". The same teams would play each other up to 14 times each season; rivalries would develop, and it was easy for fans to become familiar with all of the players. The league at times played to arenas filled to 95% capacity. Some criticize the era as having a playoff system which was too easy (only two teams were eliminated after the game regular seasons), for featuring too many dominant teams (Montreal never missed the playoffs between 1949 and 1967, Toronto missed once, and Detroit missed twice, while the other 3 teams competed for one berth), and for having very autocratic and monopolistic practices by the owners (including the Norris family, which at one point owned three of the four American franchises and all four U.S. arenas). Beyond that, rosters were very static -- until the burgeoning of career lengths in the Eighties, only one twenty-year player in NHL history started his career after 1964 -- and it is generally accepted that the weakest Calder Trophy winners of all time were selected in the Fifties and Sixties. In partial consequence, the league was almost entirely composed of Canadians who had come up through the junior and minor pro leagues. American, European, and college players were all but unknown. By the 1960s it was becoming increasingly obvious that if the NHL did not expand, a rival league would fill the void. The American Football League was proving to be highly successful at this time, convincing many people that a rival hockey league would also succeed. In particular, the Western Hockey League had moved into a number of major Pacific Coast markets, and had accumulated strong rosters with talent barred from the static rosters of the NHL. This, plus the prospect of more lucrative U.S. television contracts finally convinced the six owners to go ahead with expansion. See 1967 NHL Expansion. The "Original Six Era" is often referred to with great respect and nostalgia by hockey fans -- and especially so by fans in Montreal, Toronto and Detroit -- particularly fans of the six teams who are old enough to remember it. Recruiting during this period was done using the C form.

What is it called when government is run by the people?
Democracy as we know it IS "a government that is run by each and every persons own vote". The problem with Democracy is that it is tyranny of the majority over the minority. The U.S. Government was set up as a Constitutional Republic, NOT a Democracy, so that even the minority has a voice, and so the Majority doesn't rule over the Minority. - Pat Riot
