  • At the time, the vast majority of European states were monarchies, with political power held either by the monarch or the aristocracy.

• Chief Executive

  • Head of government is the chief officer of the executive branch of a government, often presiding over a cabinet.
  • In presidential republics or absolute monarchies, the head of government may be the same person as the head of state, who is often also called a president or a monarch.
  • In a parliamentary system, the head of state is normally a different person from the head of government.
  • This is in contrast to a presidential system in a democracy, where the head of state often is also the head of government, and most importantly: the executive branch does not derive its democratic legitimacy from the legislature.
  • President Barack Obama acts as the chief executive of the federal government of the United States.

• The Powers of State Government

  • The legislative branch of the states consists of state legislatures.
  • An elected Governor heads the executive branch of every state.
  • A supreme court that hears appeals from lower state courts heads the judicial branch in most states.
  • Map of the United States.
  • Each of the state has its own government.

• Balance and Determining Equilibrium

  • With hair cells in the inner ear that sense linear and rotational motion, the vestibular system determines equilibrium and balance states.
  • Tilting the head causes the otolith to slide over the macula in the direction of gravity.
  • The exact tilt of the head is interpreted by the brain on the basis of the pattern of hair-cell depolarization .
  • Rotational movement of the head is encoded by the hair cells in the base of the semicircular canals.
  • The movement of two canals within a plane results in information about the direction in which the head is moving, and activation of all six canals can give a very precise indication of head movement in three dimensions.

• Stastical Interpretation of Entropy

  • For example, 4 heads and 1 tail instance may occur on 5 different configurations, with any one of the 5 coins showing tail and all the rest heads.
  • So even if you start with an orderly state, there is a strong tendency to go from order to disorder, from low entropy to high entropy.
  • The least orderly (least structured) is that of 50 heads and 50 tails.
  • In contrast, there is an 8% chance of getting 50 heads, a 73% chance of getting from 45 to 55 heads, and a 96% chance of getting from 40 to 60 heads.
  • (a) The ordinary state of gas in a container is a disorderly, random distribution of atoms or molecules with a Maxwell-Boltzmann distribution of speeds.

• Colossal Heads of the Olmec

  • The Olmec culture of the Gulf Coast of Mexico produced the first major Mesoamerican art, and is particularly known for the creation of colossal stone heads.
  • Across the swampy coastal areas of the modern Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco, the Olmec constructed ceremonial centers on raised earth mounds.
  • While Olmec figurines are found abundantly in sites throughout the Formative period, monumental works of basalt sculpture, including colossal heads, altars, and seated figures are the most recognizable feature of Olmec culture.
  • The discovery of a colossal head at Tres Zapotes in the nineteenth century spurred the first archaeological investigations of Olmec culture by Matthew Stirling in 1938.
  • It is believed that the Olmec colossal heads are depictions of powerful rulers.

• History of the Normal Distribution

  • Name the person who discovered the normal distribution and state the problem he applied it to
  • State who was the first to prove the central limit theorem
  • " The probability of exactly x heads out of N flips is computed using the formula:
  • where x is the number of heads (60), N is the number of flips (100), and π is the probability of a head (0.5).
  • Therefore, to solve this problem, you compute the probability of 60 heads, then the probability of 61 heads, 62 heads, etc., and add up all these probabilities.

• APA: Headings

  • If a heading is said to be in title case, that means you should format it as though it were the title of a book, with the first letters of most major words capitalized (e.g., A Study of Color-Blindness in Dogs).
  • If a heading is said to be in sentence case, that means you should format it as though it were a normal sentence, with only the first letter of the first word (and of any proper nouns) capitalized (e.g., A study of color-blindness in dogs).
  • So, if you have a paper with two levels of headings, you would use Level 1 formatting for the higher level and Level 2 formatting for the lower level.
  • Similarly, if you have a paper with five levels of headings, you would use Level 1 formatting for the highest level and Level 5 formatting for the lowest level.
  • These are the formatting rules for different levels of headings in APA style.
