The Maya Temple of Kukulcán (top), the Aztec sun stone (middle) and the Inca city of Machu Picchu (bottom) are among the most lasting built or constructed achievements of pre-Columbian civilizations. In the history of the Americas, the pre-Columbian era, also known as the pre-contact era, spans from the original peopling of the Americas in the Upper Paleolithic to European colonization, which began with Christopher Columbus's voyage of 1492. Usually, the era covers the history of Indigenous cultures until significant influence by Europeans. This may have occurred decades or even centuries after Columbus for certain cultures. Many pre-Columbian civilizations were marked by permanent settlements, cities, agriculture, civic and monumental architecture, major earthworks, and complex societal hierarchies. Some of these civilizations had long faded by the time of the first permanent European colonies (c. late 16th–early 17th centuries),[1] and are known only through archaeological investigations and oral history. Other civilizations were contemporary with the colonial period and were described in European historical accounts of the time. A few, such as the Maya civilization, kept written records, but due to many Christian Europeans of the time viewing such texts as pagan, men like Diego de Landa burned them, even while seeking to preserve native histories. Only a few hidden documents have survived in their original languages, while others were transcribed or dictated into Spanish, giving modern historians glimpses of ancient culture and knowledge. Before the development of archaeology in the 19th century, historians of the pre-Columbian period mainly interpreted the records of the European conquerors and the accounts of early European travelers and antiquaries. It was not until the nineteenth century that the work of people such as John Lloyd Stephens, Eduard Seler, and Alfred Maudslay, and institutions such as the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology of Harvard University, led to the reconsideration and criticism of the early European sources. Now, the scholarly study of pre-Columbian cultures is most often based on scientific and multidisciplinary methodologies.[2] The haplogroup most commonly associated with Indigenous genetics is Haplogroup Q1a3a (Y-DNA).[3] Researchers have found genetic evidence that the Q1a3a haplogroup has been in South America since at least 18,000 BCE.[4] Y-DNA, like mtDNA, differs from other nuclear chromosomes in that the majority of the Y chromosome is unique and does not recombine during meiosis. This has the effect that the historical pattern of mutations can easily be studied.[5] The pattern indicates Indigenous peoples experienced two very distinctive genetic episodes: first with the initial peopling of the Americas and second with European colonization of the Americas.[6][7] The former is the determinant factor for the number of gene lineages and founding haplotypes present in today's Indigenous populations.[7] Human settlement of the Americas occurred in stages from the Bering Sea coastline, with an initial 20,000-year layover on Beringia for the founding population.[8][9] The micro-satellite diversity and distributions of the Y lineage specific to South America indicate that certain Amerindian populations have been isolated since the initial colonization of the region.[10] The Na-Dené, Inuit, and Indigenous Alaskan populations exhibit haplogroup Q-M242 (Y-DNA) mutations, however, and are distinct from other Indigenous peoples with various mtDNA mutations.[11][12][13] This suggests that the earliest migrants into the northern extremes of North America and Greenland derived from later populations.[14] Asian nomadic Paleo-Indians are thought to have entered the Americas via the Bering Land Bridge (Beringia), now the Bering Strait, and possibly along the coast. Genetic evidence found in Indigenous peoples' maternally inherited mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) supports the theory of multiple genetic populations migrating from Asia.[15][16][17] After crossing the land bridge, they moved southward along the Pacific coast[18] and through an interior ice-free corridor.[19] Throughout millennia, Paleo-Indians spread throughout the rest of North and South America. Exactly when the first people migrated into the Americas is the subject of much debate.[20] One of the earliest identifiable cultures was the Clovis culture, with sites dating from some 13,000 years ago. [21]However, older sites dating back to 20,000 years ago have been claimed. Some genetic studies estimate the colonization of the Americas dates from between 40,000 and 13,000 years ago.[22] The chronology of migration models is currently divided into two general approaches. The first is the short chronology theory with the first movement beyond Alaska into the Americas occurring no earlier than 14,000–17,000 years ago, followed by successive waves of immigrants.[23][24][25][26] The second belief is the long chronology theory, which proposes that the first group of people entered the hemisphere at a much earlier date, possibly 50,000–40,000 years ago or earlier.[27][28][29][30] Artifacts have been found in both North and South America which have been dated to 14,000 years ago,[31] and accordingly humans have been proposed to have reached Cape Horn at the southern tip of South America by this time. In that case, the Inuit would have arrived separately and at a much later date, probably no more than 2,000 years ago, moving across the ice from Siberia into Alaska. Simplified map of subsistence methods in the Americas at 1000 BCE   hunter-gatherers   simple farming societies   complex farming societies (tribal chiefdoms or civilizations)The North American climate was unstable as the ice age receded during the Lithic stage. It finally stabilized about 10,000 years ago; climatic conditions were then very similar to today's.[32] Within this time frame, roughly about the Archaic Period, numerous archaeological cultures have been identified. The unstable climate led to widespread migration, with early Paleo-Indians soon spreading throughout the Americas, diversifying into many hundreds of culturally distinct tribes.[33] The Paleo-Indians were hunter-gatherers, likely characterized by small, mobile bands consisting of approximately 20 to 50 members of an extended family. These groups moved from place to place as preferred resources were depleted and new supplies were sought.[34] During much of the Paleo-Indian period, bands are thought to have subsisted primarily through hunting now-extinct giant land animals such as mastodon and ancient bison.[35] Paleo-Indian groups carried a variety of tools, including distinctive projectile points and knives, as well as less distinctive butchering and hide-scraping implements. The vastness of the North American continent, and the variety of its climates, ecology, vegetation, fauna, and landforms, led ancient peoples to coalesce into many distinct linguistic and cultural groups.[36] This is reflected in the oral histories of the indigenous peoples, described by a wide range of traditional creation stories which often say that a given people have been living in a certain territory since the creation of the world. Throughout thousands of years, paleo-Indian people domesticated, bred, and cultivated many plant species, including crops that now constitute 50–60% of worldwide agriculture.[37] In general, Arctic, Subarctic, and coastal peoples continued to live as hunters and gatherers, while agriculture was adopted in more temperate and sheltered regions, permitting a dramatic rise in population.[32] Major cultural areas of the pre-Columbian Americas:      Arctic      Northwest      Aridoamerica      Mesoamerica      Isthmo-Colombian      Caribbean      Amazon      AndesAfter the migration or migrations, it was several thousand years before the first complex societies arose, the earliest emerging about seven to eight thousand years ago.[citation needed] As early as 5500 BCE, people in the Lower Mississippi Valley at Monte Sano and other sites in present-day Louisiana, Mississippi, and Florida were building complex earthwork mounds, probably for religious purposes. Beginning in the late twentieth century, archeologists have studied, analyzed, and dated these sites, realizing that the earliest complexes were built by hunter-gatherer societies, whose people occupied the sites on a seasonal basis.[38] Watson Brake, a large complex of eleven platform mounds, was constructed beginning in 3400 BCE and added to over 500 years. This has changed earlier assumptions that complex construction arose only after societies had adopted agriculture, and become sedentary, with stratified hierarchy and usually ceramics. These ancient people had organized to build complex mound projects under a different social structure. Until the accurate dating of Watson Brake and similar sites, the oldest mound complex was thought to be Poverty Point, also located in the Lower Mississippi Valley. Built about 1500 BCE, it is the centerpiece of a culture extending over 100 sites on both sides of the Mississippi. The Poverty Point site has earthworks in the form of six concentric half-circles, divided by radial aisles, together with some mounds. The entire complex is nearly a mile across. Mound building was continued by succeeding cultures, who built numerous sites in the middle Mississippi and Ohio River valleys as well, adding effigy mounds, conical and ridge mounds, and other shapes. The Woodland period of North American pre-Columbian cultures lasted from roughly 1000 BCE to 1000 CE. The term was coined in the 1930s and refers to prehistoric sites between the Archaic period and the Mississippian cultures. The Adena culture and the ensuing Hopewell tradition during this period built monumental earthwork architecture and established continent-spanning trade and exchange networks. This period is considered a developmental stage without any massive changes in a short period but instead has a continuous development in stone and bone tools, leatherworking, textile manufacture, tool production, cultivation, and shelter construction. Some Woodland people continued to use spears and atlatls until the end of the period when they were replaced by bows and arrows. The Mississippian culture was spread across the Southeast and Midwest of what is today the United States, from the Atlantic coast to the edge of the plains, from the Gulf of Mexico to the Upper Midwest, although most intensively in the area along the Mississippi River and Ohio River. One of the distinguishing features of this culture was the construction of complexes of large earthen mounds and grand plazas, continuing the mound-building traditions of earlier cultures. They grew maize and other crops intensively, participated in an extensive trade network, and had a complex stratified society. The Mississippians first appeared around 1000 CE, following and developing out of the less agriculturally intensive and less centralized Woodland period. The largest urban site of these people, Cahokia—located near modern East St. Louis, Illinois—may have reached a population of over 20,000. Other chiefdoms were constructed throughout the Southeast, and its trade networks reached to the Great Lakes and the Gulf of Mexico. At its peak, between the 12th and 13th centuries, Cahokia was the most populous city in North America. (Larger cities did exist in Mesoamerica and the Andes.) Monks Mound, the major ceremonial center of Cahokia, remains the largest earthen construction of the prehistoric Americas. The culture reached its peak in about 1200–1400 CE, and in most places, it seems to have been in decline before the arrival of Europeans.[citation needed] Many Mississippian peoples were encountered by the expedition of Hernando de Soto in the 1540s, mostly with disastrous results for both sides. Unlike the Spanish expeditions in Mesoamerica, which conquered vast empires with relatively few men, the de Soto expedition wandered the American Southeast for four years, becoming more bedraggled, losing more men and equipment, and eventually arriving in Mexico as a fraction of its original size. The local people fared much worse though, as the fatalities of diseases introduced by the expedition devastated the populations and produced much social disruption. By the time Europeans returned a hundred years later, nearly all of the Mississippian groups had vanished, and vast swaths of their territory were virtually uninhabited.[39] Monks Mound of Cahokia (UNESCO World Heritage Site) in summer. The concrete staircase follows the approximate course of the ancient wooden stairs. The Cliff Palace in Mesa Verde National Park, Colorado. The Ancestral Puebloans thrived in what is now the Four Corners region in the United States. It is commonly suggested that the culture of the Ancestral Puebloans emerged during the Early Basketmaker II Era during the 12th century BCE. The Ancestral Puebloans were a complex Oasisamerican society that constructed kivas, multi-story houses, and apartment blocks made from stone and adobe, such as the Cliff Palace of Mesa Verde National Park in Colorado and the Great Houses in Chaco Canyon, New Mexico. The Puebloans also constructed a road system that stretched from Chaco Canyon to Kutz Canyon in the San Juan Basin.[40] The Ancestral Puebloans are also known as "Anasazi", though the term is controversial, as the present-day Pueblo peoples consider the term to be derogatory, due to the word tracing its origins to a Navajo word meaning "ancestor enemies".[41] The Hohokam thrived in the Sonoran desert in what is now the U.S. state of Arizona and the Mexican state of Sonora. The Hohokam were responsible for the construction of a series of irrigation canals that led to the successful establishment of Phoenix, Arizona via the Salt River Project. The Hohokam also established complex settlements such as Snaketown, which served as an important commercial trading center. After 1375 CE, Hohokam society collapsed and the people abandoned their settlements, likely due to drought. The Mogollon resided in the present-day states of Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas as well as Sonora and Chihuahua. Like most other cultures in Oasisamerica, the Mogollon constructed sophisticated kivas and cliff dwellings. In the village of Paquimé, the Mogollon are revealed to have housed pens for scarlet macaws, which were introduced from Mesoamerica through trade.[42] The Sinagua were hunter-gatherers and agriculturalists who lived in central Arizona. Like the Hohokam, they constructed kivas and great houses as well as ballcourts. Several of the Sinagua ruins include Montezuma Castle, Wupatki, and Tuzigoot. The Salado resided in the Tonto Basin in southeastern Arizona from 1150 CE to the 15th century. Archaeological evidence suggests that they traded with far-away cultures, as evidenced by the presence of seashells from the Gulf of California and macaw feathers from Mexico. Most of the cliff dwellings constructed by the Salado are primarily located in Tonto National Monument. The Iroquois League of Nations or "People of the Long House" was a politically advanced, democratic society, which is thought by some historians to have influenced the United States Constitution,[43][44] with the Senate passing a resolution to this effect in 1988.[45] Other historians have contested this interpretation and believe the impact was minimal or did not exist, pointing to numerous differences between the two systems and the ample precedents for the constitution in European political thought.[46][47][48] The Calusa were a complex paramountcy/kingdom that resided in southern Florida. Instead of agriculture, the Calusa economy relied on abundant fishing. According to Spanish sources, the "king's house" at Mound Key was large enough to house 2,000 people.[49] The Calusa ultimately collapsed into extinction at around 1750 after succumbing to diseases introduced by the Spanish colonists. The Wichita people were a loose confederation that consisted of sedentary agriculturalists and hunter-gatherers who resided in the eastern Great Plains. They lived in permanent settlements and even established a city called Etzanoa, which had a population of 20,000 people. The city was eventually abandoned around the 18th century after it was encountered by Spanish conquistadors Jusepe Gutierrez and Juan de Oñate. Numerous pre-Columbian societies were sedentary, such as the Tlingit, Haida, Chumash, Mandan, Hidatsa, and others, and some established large settlements, even cities, such as Cahokia, in what is now Illinois. These Indigenous civilizations are credited with many inventions: building pyramid temples, mathematics, astronomy, medicine, writing, highly accurate calendars, fine arts, intensive agriculture, engineering, an abacus calculator, and complex theology. They also invented the wheel, but it was used solely as a toy. In addition, they used native copper, silver, and gold for metalworking. Archaic inscriptions on rocks and rock walls all over northern Mexico (especially in the state of Nuevo León) demonstrate an early propensity for counting. Their number system was base 20 and included zero. These early count markings were associated with astronomical events and underscore the influence that astronomical activities had upon Mesoamerican people before the arrival of Europeans. Many of the later Mesoamerican civilizations carefully built their cities and ceremonial centers according to specific astronomical events. The biggest Mesoamerican cities, such as Teotihuacan, Tenochtitlan, and Cholula, were among the largest in the world. These cities grew as centers of commerce, ideas, ceremonies, and theology, and they radiated influence outwards onto neighboring cultures in central Mexico. While many city-states, kingdoms, and empires competed with one another for power and prestige, Mesoamerica can be said to have had five major civilizations: the Olmecs, Teotihuacan, the Toltecs, the Mexica, and the Mayas. These civilizations (except for the politically fragmented Maya) extended their reach across Mesoamerica—and beyond—like no others. They consolidated power and distributed influence in matters of trade, art, politics, technology, and theology. Other regional power players made economic and political alliances with these civilizations over 4,000 years. Many made war with them, but almost all peoples found themselves within one of their spheres of influence. Regional communications in ancient Mesoamerica have been the subject of considerable research. There is evidence of trade routes starting as far north as the Mexico Central Plateau, and going down to the Pacific coast. These trade routes and cultural contacts then went on as far as Central America. These networks operated with various interruptions from pre-Olmec times and up to the Late Classical Period (600–900 CE). The earliest known civilization in Mesoamerica is the Olmec. This civilization established the cultural blueprint by which all succeeding indigenous civilizations would follow in Mexico. Pre-Olmec civilization began with the production of pottery in abundance, around 2300 BCE in the Grijalva River delta. Between 1600 and 1500 BCE, the Olmec civilization had begun, with the consolidation of power at their capital, a site today known as San Lorenzo Tenochtitlán near the coast in southeast Veracruz.[51] The Olmec influence extended across Mexico, into Central America, and along the Gulf of Mexico. They transformed many peoples' thinking toward a new way of government, pyramid temples, writing, astronomy, art, mathematics, economics, and religion. Their achievements paved the way for the Maya civilization and the civilizations in central Mexico. The decline of the Olmec resulted in a power vacuum in Mexico. Emerging from that vacuum was Teotihuacan, first settled in 300 BCE. By 150 CE, Teotihuacan had risen to become the first true metropolis of what is now called North America. Teotihuacan established a new economic and political order never before seen in Mexico. Its influence stretched across Mexico into Central America, founding new dynasties in the Maya cities of Tikal, Copan, and Kaminaljuyú. Teotihuacan's influence over the Maya civilization cannot be overstated: it transformed political power, artistic depictions, and the nature of economics. Within the city of Teotihuacan was a diverse and cosmopolitan population. Most of the regional ethnicities of Mexico were represented in the city, such as Zapotecs from the Oaxaca region. They lived in apartment communities where they worked their trades and contributed to the city's economic and cultural prowess. Teotihuacan's economic pull impacted areas in northern Mexico as well. It was a city whose monumental architecture reflected a monumental new era in Mexican civilization, declining in political power about 650 CE—but lasting in cultural influence for the better part of a millennium, to around 950 CE. Contemporary Teotihuacan's greatness was that of the Maya civilization. The period between 250 CE and 650 CE was a time of intense flourishing of Maya civilized accomplishments. While the many Maya city-states never achieved political unity on the order of the central Mexican civilizations, they exerted tremendous intellectual influence upon Mexico and Central America. The Maya built some of the most elaborate cities on the continent and made innovations in mathematics, astronomy, and calendrics. The Maya also developed the only true writing system[citation needed] native to the Americas using pictographs and syllabic elements in the form of texts and codices inscribed on stone, pottery, wood, or perishable books made from bark paper. The Huastecs were a Maya ethnic group that migrated northwards to the Gulf Coast of Mexico.[52] The Huastecs are considered to be distinct from the Maya civilization, as they separated from the main Maya branch at around 2000 BCE and did not possess the Maya script.[53][54] Other accounts also suggest that the Huastecs migrated as a result of the Classic Maya collapse around the year 900 CE. The Zapotecs were a civilization that thrived in the Oaxaca Valley from the late 6th century BCE until their downfall at the hands of the Spanish conquistadors. The city of Monte Albán was an important religious center for the Zapotecs and served as the capital of the empire from 700 BCE to 700 CE. The Zapotecs resisted the expansion of the Aztecs until they were subjugated in 1502 under Aztec emperor Ahuitzotl. After the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire, the Zapotecs resisted Spanish rule until King Cosijopii I surrendered in 1563. Like the Zapotecs, the Mixtecs thrived in the Oaxaca Valley. The Mixtecs consisted of separate independent kingdoms and city-states, rather than a single unified empire. The Mixtecs would eventually be conquered by the Aztecs until the Spanish conquest. The Mixtecs saw the Spanish conquest as an opportunity for liberation and established agreements with the conquistadors that allowed them to preserve their cultural traditions, though relatively few sections resisted Spanish rule. The Totonac civilization was concentrated in the present-day states of Veracruz and Puebla. The Totonacs were responsible for the establishment of cities, such as El Tajín as important commercial trading centers. The Totonacs would later assist in the Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire as an opportunity to liberate themselves from Aztec military imperialism. The Toltec civilization was established in the 8th century CE. The Toltec Empire expanded its political borders to as far south as the Yucatán peninsula, including the Maya city of Chichen Itza. The Toltecs established vast trading relations with other Mesoamerican civilizations in Central America and the Puebloans in present-day New Mexico. During the Post-Classic era, the Toltecs suffered a subsequent collapse in the early 12th century, due to famine and civil war.[55] The Toltec civilization was so influential to the point where many groups such as the Aztecs claimed to be descended from.[56][57] With the decline of the Toltec civilization came political fragmentation in the Valley of Mexico. Into this new political game of contenders to the Toltec throne stepped outsiders: the Mexica. They were also a desert people, one of seven groups who formerly called themselves "Azteca", in memory of Aztlán, but they changed their name after years of migrating. Since they were not from the Valley of Mexico, they were initially seen as crude and unrefined in the ways of the Nahua civilization. Through political maneuvers and ferocious martial skills, they managed to rule Mexico as the head of the 'Triple Alliance' which included two other Aztec cities, Tetxcoco and Tlacopan. Latecomers to Mexico's central plateau, the Mexica thought of themselves, nevertheless, as heirs of the civilizations that had preceded them. For them, arts, sculpture, architecture, engraving, feather-mosaic work, and the calendar, were bequest from the former inhabitants of Tula, the Toltecs. The Mexica-Aztecs were the rulers of much of central Mexico by about 1400 (while Yaquis, Coras, and Apaches commanded sizable regions of northern desert), having subjugated most of the other regional states by the 1470s. At their peak, the Valley of Mexico where the Aztec Empire presided, saw a population growth that included nearly 1 million people during the late Aztec period (1350–1519).[58] Their capital, Tenochtitlan, is the site of modern-day Mexico City. At its peak, it was one of the largest cities in the world with population estimates of 200,000–300,000.[59] The market established there was the largest ever seen by the conquistadores on arrival. Initially, the lands that would someday comprise the lands of the powerful Tarascan Empire were inhabited by several independent communities. Around 1300, however, the first Cazonci, Tariacuri, united these communities and built them into one of the most advanced civilizations in Mesoamerica. Their capital at Tzintzuntzan was just one of the many cities—there were ninety more under its control. The Tarascan Empire was among the largest in Central America, so it is no surprise that they routinely came into conflict with the neighboring Aztec Empire. Out of all the civilizations in its area, the Tarascan Empire was the most prominent in metallurgy, harnessing copper, silver, and gold to create items such as tools, decorations, and even weapons and armor. Bronze was also used. The great victories over the Aztecs by the Tarascans cannot be understated. Nearly every war they fought in resulted in a Tarascan victory. Because the Tarascan Empire had little links to the former Toltec Empire, they were also quite independent in culture from their neighbors. The Aztecs, Tlaxcaltec, Olmec, Mixtec, Maya, and others were very similar to each other, however. This is because they were all directly preceded by the Toltecs, and they therefore shared almost identical cultures. The Tarascans, however, possessed a unique religion, as well as other things.[vague] Tlaxcala was a Nahua republic and confederation in central Mexico. The Tlaxcalans fiercely resisted Aztec expansion during the Flower Wars ever since the Aztecs expelled them from Lake Texcoco. The Tlaxcalans would later ally with the Spanish conquistadors under Hernán Cortés as an opportunity to liberate them from the Aztecs and managed to successfully conquer the Aztecs with the help of the conquistadors. The Spaniards would reward the Tlaxcalans for preserving their culture and for their assistance in defeating the Aztecs. The Tlaxcalans would once again assist to the Spaniards during the Mixtón War and the conquest of Guatemala.[60] Cuzcatlan was a Pipil confederacy of kingdoms and city-states located in present-day El Salvador. According to legend, Cuzcatlan was established by Toltec migrants during the Classic Maya collapse in approximately 1200 CE. During the Spanish conquest of El Salvador, Cuzcatlan was forced to surrender to conquistador Pedro de Alvarado in 1528. The Lenca people were composed of several distinct multilingual confederations and city-states in present-day El Salvador and Honduras. Cities such as Yarumela were important commercial centers for the Lenca. During the Spanish conquest, several Lenca leaders such as Lempira resisted conversion to Christianity, while others converted peacefully. An offshoot of the Pipil people from El Salvador, the Nicarao people were a tribal confederation that flourished in present-day Nicaragua. The migration of the Nicarao is theorized to have led to the fall of the city of Teotihuacan and the Toltec city of Tula. The Nicarao civilization was disestablished during the Spanish conquest of Nicaragua in 1522. The Nicoya kingdom was an elective monarchy that thrived in the Nicoya peninsula in Costa Rica.[61] It existed from 800 CE until the Spanish arrival in the 16th century. Muisca raft. The figure refers to the ceremony of the legend of El Dorado. By the first millennium, South America's vast rainforests, mountains, plains, and coasts were the home of millions of people. Estimates vary, but 30–50 million are often given, and 100 million by some estimates. Some groups formed permanent settlements. Among those groups were Chibcha-speaking peoples ("Muisca" or "Muysca"), Valdivia, Quimbaya, Calima, Marajoara culture, and the Tairona. The Muisca of Colombia, postdating the Herrera Period, Valdivia of Ecuador, the Quechuas, and the Aymara of Peru and Bolivia were the four most important sedentary Amerindian groups in South America. Since the 1970s, numerous geoglyphs have been discovered on deforested land in the Amazon rainforest, Brazil, supporting Spanish accounts of complex and ancient Amazonian civilizations, such as Kuhikugu.[62][63] The Upano Valley sites in present-day eastern Ecuador predate all known complex Amazonian societies.[64] The theory of pre-Columbian contact across the South Pacific Ocean between South America and Polynesia has received support from several lines of evidence, although solid confirmation remains elusive. A diffusion by human agents has been put forward to explain the pre-Columbian presence in Oceania of several cultivated plant species native to South America, such as the bottle gourd (Lagenaria siceraria) or sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas). Direct archaeological evidence for such pre-Columbian contacts and transport has not emerged. Similarities noted in the names of edible roots in Maori and Ecuadorian languages ("kumari") and Melanesian and Chilean ("gaddu") have been inconclusive.[65] A 2007 paper published in PNAS put forward DNA and archaeological evidence that domesticated chickens had been introduced into South America via Polynesia by late pre-Columbian times.[66] These findings were challenged by a later study published in the same journal, that cast doubt on the dating calibration used and presented alternative mtDNA analyses that disagreed with a Polynesian genetic origin.[67] The origin and dating remain an open issue. Whether or not early Polynesian–American exchanges occurred, no compelling human-genetic, archaeological, cultural, or linguistic legacy of such contact has turned up. On the north-central coast of present-day Peru, Norte Chico or Caral (as known in Peru) was a civilization that emerged around 3000 BCE (contemporary with urbanism's rise in Mesopotamia).[50] It had a cluster of large-scale urban settlements of which the Sacred City of Caral, in the Supe Valley, is one of the largest and best-studied sites. The civilization did not know machinery or pottery but still managed to develop trade, especially cotton and dehydrated fish. It was a hierarchical society that managed its ecosystems and had intercultural exchange. Its economy was heavily dependent on agriculture and fishing on the nearby coast.[68] It is considered one of the cradles of civilization in the world[50] and Caral is the oldest known civilization in the Americas.[69] The Valdivia culture was concentrated on the coast of Ecuador. Their existence was recently discovered by archeological findings. Their culture is among the oldest found in the Americas, spanning from 3500 to 1800 BCE. The Valdivia lived in a community of houses built in a circle or oval around a central plaza. They were sedentary people who lived off farming and fishing, though occasionally they hunted for deer. From the remains that have been found, scholars have determined that Valdivians cultivated maize, kidney beans, squash, cassava, chili peppers, and cotton plants, the last of which was used to make clothing. Valdivian pottery initially was rough and practical, but it became showy, delicate, and big over time. They generally used red and gray colors, and the polished dark red pottery is characteristic of the Valdivia period. In its ceramics and stone works, the Valdivia culture shows a progression from the most simple to much more complicated works. The Cañari were the indigenous natives of today's Ecuadorian provinces of Cañar and Azuay. They were an elaborate civilization with advanced architecture and complex religious beliefs. The Inca destroyed and burned most of their remains. The Cañari's old city was replaced twice, first by the Incan city of Tumebamba and later on the same site by the colonial city of Cuenca. The city was also believed to be the site of El Dorado, the city of gold from the mythology of Colombia. The Cañari were most notable for having repelled the Incan invasion with fierce resistance for many years until they fell to Tupac Yupanqui. Many of their descendants are still present in Cañar. The majority did not mix with the colonists or become Mestizos. Larco Museum houses the largest private collection of pre-Columbian art. Lima, Peru. The Chavín, a Peruvian preliterate civilization, established a trade network and developed agriculture by 900 BCE, according to some estimates and archeological finds. Artifacts were found at a site called Chavín in modern Peru at an elevation of 3,177 meters (10,423 ft). The Chavín civilization spanned from 900 to 300 BCE. The Chibcha-speaking communities were the most numerous, the most territorially extended and the most socio-economically developed of the pre-Hispanic Colombians. By the 8th century, the indigenous people had established their civilization in the northern Andes. At one point, the Chibchas occupied part of what is now Panama, and the high plains of the Eastern Sierra of Colombia. The areas that they occupied in Colombia were the present-day Departments of Santander (North and South), Boyacá, and Cundinamarca. This is where the first farms and industries were developed. It is also where the independence movement originated. They are currently the richest areas in Colombia. The Chibcha developed the most populous zone between the Maya region and the Inca Empire. Next to the Quechua of Peru and the Aymara in Bolivia, the Chibcha of the eastern and north-eastern Highlands of Colombia developed the most notable culture among the sedentary Indigenous peoples in South America. In the Colombian Andes, the Chibcha comprised several tribes who spoke similar languages (Chibcha). They included the following: the Muisca, Guane, Lache, Cofán, and Chitareros. The Tairona civilization thrived in the Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta mountain range in northern Colombia. Studies suggest that the civilization thrived from the 1st century CE until the Spanish arrival in the 16th century. The descendants of the Tairona, such as the Kogi were one of the few indigenous groups in the Americas to have escaped full colonial conquest and retain a majority of their indigenous cultures. The Moche thrived on the north coast of Peru from about 100 to 800 CE. The heritage of the Moche is seen in their elaborate burials. Some were recently excavated by UCLA's Christopher B. Donnan in association with the National Geographic Society. As skilled artisans, the Moche were a technologically advanced people. They traded with distant peoples such as the Maya. What has been learned about the Moche is based on the study of their ceramic pottery; the carvings reveal details of their daily lives. The Larco Museum of Lima, Peru, has an extensive collection of such ceramics. They show that the people practiced human sacrifice, had blood-drinking rituals and that their religion incorporated non-procreative sexual practices (such as fellatio). The Wari Empire was located in the western portion of Peru and existed from the 6th century to the 11th century. Wari, as the former capital city was called, is located 11 km (6.8 mi) northeast of the city of Ayacucho. This city was the center of a civilization that covered much of the highlands and coast of Peru. The best-preserved remnants, besides the Wari Ruins, are the recently discovered Northern Wari ruins near the city of Chiclayo, and Cerro Baul in Moquegua. Also well-known are the Wari ruins of Pikillaqta ("Flea Town"), a short distance southeast of the Cusco en route to Lake Titicaca. The Tiwanaku empire was based in western Bolivia and extended into present-day Peru and Chile from 300 to 1000 CE. Tiwanaku is recognized by Andean scholars as one of the most important South American civilizations before the birth of the Inca Empire in Peru; it was the ritual and administrative capital of a major state power for approximately five hundred years. The ruins of the ancient city state are near the south-eastern shore of Lake Titicaca in Tiwanaku Municipality, Ingavi Province, La Paz Department, about 72 kilometres (45 mi) west of La Paz. Holding their capital at the great cougar-shaped city of Cusco, Peru, the Inca civilization dominated the Andes region from 1438 to 1533. Known as Tawantinsuyu, or "the land of the four regions", in Quechua, the Inca civilization was highly distinct and developed. Inca rule extended to nearly a hundred linguistic or ethnic communities, some 9 to 14 million people connected by a 40,000-kilometer road system. Cities were built with precise stonework, constructed over many levels of mountain terrain. Terrace farming was a useful form of agriculture. There is evidence of excellent metalwork and even successful brain surgery in the Inca civilization. The Aymara kingdoms consisted of a confederation of separate diarchies that lasted from 1151 after the fall of Tiwanaku until 1477 when they were conquered by the Inca Empire. The Aymara kingdoms were primarily located in the Altiplano in Bolivia as well as some parts of Peru and Chile. Archeologists have discovered evidence of the earliest known inhabitants of the Venezuelan area in the form of leaf-shaped flake tools, together with chopping and plano–convex scraping implements exposed on the high riverine terraces of the Pedregal River in western Venezuela.[70] Late Pleistocene hunting artifacts, including spear tips, come from a similar site in northwestern Venezuela known as El Jobo. According to radiocarbon dating, these date from 13,000 to 7000 BCE.[71] Taima-Taima, yellow Muaco, and El Jobo in Falcón are some of the sites that have yielded archeological material from these times.[72] These groups co-existed with megafauna like megatherium, glyptodonts, and toxodonts. A palafito like the ones seen by Amerigo VespucciIt is not known how many people lived in Venezuela before the Spanish Conquest; it may have been around a million people,[73] in addition to today's peoples included groups such as the Arawaks, Caribs, and Timoto-cuicas. The number was much reduced after the Conquest, mainly through the spread of new diseases from Europe.[73] There were two main north–south axes of the pre-Columbian population, producing maize in the west and manioc in the east.[73] Large parts of the Llanos plains were cultivated through a combination of slash-and-burn and permanent settled agriculture basically maize and tobacco.[73] The indigenous peoples of Venezuela had already encountered crude oils and asphalts that seeped up through the ground to the surface. Known to the locals as mene, the thick, black liquid was primarily used for medicinal purposes, as an illumination source, and for the caulking of canoes.[74] In the 16th century when Spanish colonization began in Venezuelan territory, the population of several indigenous peoples such as the Mariches (descendants of the Caribes) declined. The Diaguita consisted of several distinct chiefdoms across the Argentine Northwest. The Diaguita culture emerged around 1000 CE after the replacement of the Las Ánimas complex.[75] The Diaguita resisted Spanish colonialism during the Calchaquí Wars until they were forced to surrender and submit to Spanish rule in 1667.[76] The Taíno people were fragmented into numerous chiefdoms across the Greater Antilles, the Lucayan Archipelago, and the northern Lesser Antilles. The Taíno were the first pre-Columbian people to encounter Christopher Columbus during his voyage in 1492.[77] The Taíno would later be subject to slavery by the Spanish colonists under the encomienda system until they were deemed virtually extinct in 1565. The Huetar people were a major ethnic group that lived in Costa Rica. The Huetar were composed of several independent kingdoms, such as the western kingdom ruled by Garabito and the eastern kingdom ruled by El Guarco and Correque. After their annexation into Spanish administration, the descendants of the Huetar currently reside in the Quitirrisí reserve. The Marajoara culture flourished on Marajó Island at the mouth of the Amazon River in northern Brazil between 800 and 1400 CE. The Marajoara consisted of a complex society that built mounds and constructed sophisticated settlements. The indigenous people of the area adopted methods of large-scale agriculture through the use of terra preta, which would support complex chiefdoms. Studies suggest that the civilization housed around 100,000 inhabitants. Located in the Xingu Indigenous Park in Brazil, Kuhikugu consisted of an urban complex that housed around 50,000 inhabitants and 20 settlements. The civilization was likely established by the ancestors of the Kuikuro people. The people also constructed roads, bridges, and trenches for defensive purposes and were purported to be farmers, as evidenced by the fields of cassava and the use of terra preta. Like most other Amazonian civilizations, the disappearance of Kuhikugu was largely attributed to Old World diseases introduced by European colonists.[78] Also known as the Omagua, Umana, and Kambeba, the Cambeba are an indigenous people in Brazil's Amazon basin. The Cambeba were a populous, organized society in the late pre-Columbian era whose population suffered a steep decline in the early years of the Columbian Exchange. The Spanish explorer Francisco de Orellana traversed the Amazon River during the 16th century and reported densely populated regions running hundreds of kilometers along the river. These populations left no lasting monuments, possibly because they used local wood as their construction material as stone was not locally available. While it is possible Orellana may have exaggerated the level of development among the Amazonians, their semi-nomadic descendants have the odd distinction among tribal indigenous societies of a hereditary, yet landless, aristocracy. Archaeological evidence has revealed the continued presence of semi-domesticated orchards, as well as vast areas of land enriched with terra preta. Both of these discoveries, along with Cambeba ceramics discovered within the same archaeological levels suggest that a large and organized civilization existed in the area.[79] In the Upano River valley of eastern Ecuador, several cities were established by the Upano and Kilamope cultures around 500 BCE.[80][81] The cities in the Upano Valley consisted of agricultural societies that cultivated crops such as corn, manioc and sweet potato. The cities fell into decline around 600 CE.[82] Early inhabitants of the Americas developed agriculture, developing and breeding wild maize (corn) from ears 2–5 cm (0.8–2.0 in) in length to the current size that is familiar today. Potatoes, cassava, tomatoes, tomatillos (a husked green tomato), pumpkins, chili peppers, squash, beans, pineapple, sweet potatoes, the grains quinoa and amaranth, cocoa beans, vanilla, onion, peanuts, strawberries, raspberries, blueberries, blackberries, papaya, and avocados were among other plants grown by natives. Over two-thirds of all types of food crops grown worldwide are native to the Americas.[citation needed] Early Indigenous peoples began using fire in a widespread manner. Intentional burning of vegetation was taken up to mimic the effects of natural fires that tended to clear forest understories, thereby making travel easier and facilitating the growth of herbs and berry-producing plants that were important for both food and medicines. This created the pre-Columbian savannas of North America.[83] While not as widespread as in Afro-Eurasia, indigenous Americans did have livestock. Domesticated turkeys were common in Mesoamerica and some regions of North America; they were valued for their meat, feathers, and, possibly, eggs. There is documentation of Mesoamericans utilizing hairless dogs, especially the Xoloitzcuintle breed, for their meat. Andean societies had llamas and alpacas for meat and wool, as well as for beasts of burden. Guinea pigs were raised for meat in the Andes. Iguanas and a range of wild animals, such as deer and pecari, were another source of meat in Mexico, Central, and northern South America. By the 15th century, maize had been transmitted from Mexico and was being farmed in the Mississippi embayment, as far as the East Coast of the United States, and as far north as southern Canada. Potatoes were used by the Inca, and chocolate was used by the Aztecs. ^ "Early European Settlements in North America". Tripline. Retrieved 2017-05-06. ^ Bernal, Ignition (1980).

Little apple cobbler cakes in ramekins. So cute and so moist. I love the ginger, brandy and vanilla bean that all add additional flavor to this recipe. 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted margarine 4-5 medium apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith; about 2 1/3 pound), peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes 1/2 cup (packed) light brown sugar 1 teaspoon ground ginger 1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise 1/4 cup apricot jam 1/4 cup brandy 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice 1/2 cup slivered almonds 1/4 cup potato starch 1/4 cup powdered sugar 1/4 cup sugar 1/4 teaspoons ground ginger 3 large egg whites, room temperature 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted margarine, melted Pareve Vanilla ice cream Six 5-6-ounces ramekins or custard cups To make the filling: Melt margarine in a large heavy skillet over medium heat. Add apples, brown sugar, and ginger. Scrape in seeds from vanilla bean (reserve bean for another use). Cook, stirring often, until apples are just tender, about 5 minutes. Add jam, brandy, and lemon juice. Stir until liquid is reduced by half, about 3 minutes. Divide filling among ramekins. To make the Topping Pulse almonds, potato starch, and powdered sugar in a food processor until almonds are finely ground. Whisk sugar and ginger in a large bowl. Using an electric mixer, add egg whites one at a time to sugar mixture, beating to blend between additions. With mixer running, gradually beat in hot melted margarine. Fold in almond mixture (topping will be thin). Preheat oven to 350°. Pour topping over filling in ramekins, dividing equally. Place ramekins on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake until topping is puffed and tops of cakes are golden brown, 25-30 minutes. Let cool for at least 15 minutes. Serve warm, topped with a small scoop of pareve ice cream.

Ok then what you want is a MOSFET:http://www.societyofrobots.com/electronics_tutorial.shtml#mosfet Ok I admit that tutorial kinda sucks, been too lazy to rewrite it though . . . here is another tutorial that uses MOSFETS:http://www.societyofrobots.com/schematics_h-bridgedes.shtml Basically you apply your signal to the gate of the mosfet, and put the other two leads (drain and source) in serious with your 3000V power supply. Basically the gate acts as an electronic on/off switch for your 3000V power supply. So all you do then is apply your square wave pulse to the gate. You can do this with a simple function generator if you have it, or with a 555 timer IC, or with a microcontroller with very simple programming. Simple as in it is the same as the code to make an LED blink fast. You probably should amplify the voltage (with an op-amp) from your signal to the mosfet gate to like ~20V just to make the mosfet more efficient. Higher gate voltages means higher efficiency and less overheating. signal generator ---- op-amp ----- mosfet | Load resistance Just one side comment, you do realize that your circuit will be drawing an insane 1250 watts?!? (power=2500V*.130A=1250W) Anyway let me know if you have questions, I kind of breezed by on this and didnt explain it that well.

### 문서: 한명숙 - 대한민국 최초의 여성 총리 #### 초반 생애 및 교육 한명숙은 1944년 3월 24일 대한민국 전라남도 진도에서 태어났습니다. 그녀는 숙명여자대학교에서 영어영문학을 전공하며 학업에 매진하였으며, 이후 여러 사회운동에 참여하며 정치적 신념과 리더십을 길러 나갔습니다. #### 정치 경력 한명숙은 한국의 진보 정당인 열린우리당 소속으로 정치 경력을 시작했습니다. 그녀는 여성운동가로서의 배경을 살려 여성의 권익 향상과 사회적 약자의 보호를 위한 다양한 법안을 추진하였고, 이러한 활동을 통해 폭넓은 지지를 얻어 나갔습니다. 2003년 한명숙은 환경부 장관으로 임명되어 환경 보호와 지속 가능한 발전을 위한 정책을 추진하는 데 중점을 두었습니다. 그녀의 환경 정책은 국제적으로도 인정받으며 한국의 녹색 성장을 선도하는 데 기여했습니다. #### 총리 임명 2006년 4월, 한명숙은 대한민국의 제33대 국무총리로 임명되었습니다. 그녀는 이로써 대한민국 역사상 최초의 여성 총리가 되었으며, 이는 한국 정치에서 여성의 위치와 역할이 크게 향상되었음을 상징하는 중대한 사건이었습니다. 총리로서 한명숙은 경제 정책, 사회 복지 개선, 교육 혁신 등 다양한 국정 과제를 적극적으로 추진하였습니다. 그녀의 리더십 하에 대한민국은 여러 경제적 어려움을 극복하고 국민 삶의 질을 개선하는 데 진전을 이루었습니다. #### 후기 경력 총리직을 물러난 후, 한명숙은 계속해서 사회적, 정치적 활동에 참여하며 특히 여성의 정치 참여 확대와 사회적 약자의 권익 신장에 기여하였습니다. 여러 국제 회의와 포럼에 참석하여 글로벌 이슈에 대한 한국의 입장을 효과적으로 전달하며 국제사회에서 대한민국의 위상을 높이는 데도 기여했습니다. #### 유산 한명숙의 공직 생활은 국내외적으로 여성 리더의 모범이 되었으며, 그녀의 성공은 이후 수많은 여성들이 정치적 리더십을 발휘할 수 있는 길을 마련해 주었습니다. 부단한 노력과 헌신을 통해 대한민국의 사회와 정치, 경제 분야에서 중요한 변화를 이끌어낸 한명숙은 오늘날에도 많은 이들에게 존경과 영감을 주고 있는 인물로 기억됩니다.

On The Next Web, we try to give our articles a hip and stylish look by using Flickr pics instead of just another logo. Or as a visitor once said in the comments: “Tryin’ too hard to be cool and artsy”. Well, I think we’re doing pretty good job, you may judge for yourself. Anyway, I’ve stumbled upon two handy plugins that make being ‘cool’ and ‘artsy’ with Flickr pics even easier. One for WordPress and one for iPhoto. Flickr and WordPress Australian problogger Darren Rowse wrote about Photo Dropper, a WordPress plugin that finds Flickr Creative Commons licensed images all from within your WordPress Dashboard. You can choose three different sizes and attribution links are automatically added underneath the images to comply with the Creative Commons license rules. Get the plugin here. Flickr and iPhoto Another great plugin that makes it possible to upload your iPhoto pictures. I’ve found it on Jaap Stronks’ blog and was delighted, since it will lower the barrier for me to upload photos to Flickr. I used to just import them in iPhoto, but now I can put them on Flickr with a few clicks as well. A free iPhoto export plugin for Flickr. This provides a convenient way to upload your iPhoto descriptions, titles, keywords (tags), and ratings along with your photos. It also supports sets (yay!) and preserves GPS tags and other EXIF data. Flickr is a semi-free photo sharing service/site.

Originally posted on PhD Balance social media platforms on 11/15/2020. Psychiatrist, psychologist, therapist, prescription medication, counselor...oh my! If you’re experiencing prolonged and/or debilitating mental health distress or battling with a mental illness, a professional might be able to help you navigate what you’re going through. But how do you know if you actually need to seek professional help? And with so many different types of professionals out there, how can you be sure you know who to talk to? Will that person (or medication) be the right fit for you? Join the Stronger Together community this week to talk about seeking professional help. We’ll discuss determining whether you need help, how to identify which professional(s) to seek out, and how to navigate barriers like trust, cost, stigma and time. Sign up to our Stronger Together section here to take part in this week's module: Seeking Professional Help. Join our weekly module discussion on our Discord server this Thursday (11/19) at 12 pm ET!

지난 9일 개인정보보호법과 정보통신망 이용촉진 및 정보보호 등에 관한 법률 그리고 신용정보의 이용 및 보호에 관한 법률 등 이른 바 데이터 3법이 국회를 통과했다. 과기정통부의 전신이었던 정보통신부의 초고속 통신망 정책과 산업계의 지속적인 투자로 대한민국은 세계 최고의 정보통신·인터넷 강국이 됐고, 이로인해 다양하고 많은 디지털 데이터가 축적됐다. 그 결과 국내 데이터 분석 능력이 급속도로 발전했음에도 개인정보 침해 위험을 이유로 데이터 수집 및 이용에 제약이 따랐고, 데이터를 기반으로 구동되는 다양한 산업 발전에 발목을 잡았다. 하지만 데이터 수집기능이상으로 보안기술 역시 발전하여 개인을 알아볼 수 없도록 가명이나 익명으로 처리하여 개인정보를 안전하게 보호하고 관리할 수 있게 되었고 이를 법제도화하여 데이터를 4차 산업혁명 핵심 재료로 만드는 게 이번 데이터 3법의 핵심이다. 첫번째, 여러 법률에서 따로 규정돼 있어 중복되고 모순됨으로써 혼란스럽던 개인정보 관련 조항을 개인정보보호법으로 통합했다. 두번째, 가명 처리된 경우에는 개인정보라 해도 신뢰할 수 있는 안전 조치를 전제로 통계 작성, 민간의 산업 목적을 포함한 과학 연구, 공익 기록 보존 목적 등으로 처리할 수 있도록 허용했다. 서로 다른 기업이 보유하고 있는 가명 정보를 전문 기관이 결합할 수 있으며, 그 결합물을 전문 기관이 외부로 반출하기 위해서는 다시 가명 또는 익명 처리를 요구해 보호하고 있다. 이제 가명 정보를 활용해 고객의 숨은 요구에 맞는 신약 개발, 여행 상품, 콘텐츠 등 다양한 맞춤형 제품이나 서비스 기획 및 생산이 가능해졌다. 세번째, 신용정보 주체의 신용 관리를 지원하기 위해 본인신용정보관리업(마이데이터사업)을 도입했다. 스마트폰 애플리케이션(앱)으로 자신의 계좌·결제·투자 등 모든 금융정보를 관리할 수 있고, 사업자는 고객에게 최적의 금융상품을 추천하는 등 자산관리 및 신용관리가 가능해진다. 네번째, 개인정보보호위원회를 총리 소속 중앙행정기관으로 격상시키고 자료 제출 요구, 표준 지침 작성, 자율 규제 촉진, 개인정보 파일 등록 및 공개, 개인정보 보호 인증, 개인정보 영향평가 등을 포함한 행정안전부 기능과 방송통신위원회의 개인정보 보호 기능을 개인정보보호위로 이관해 일원화했다. 이번 데이터 3법의 국회 통과로 시민단체가 우려한 개인정보 침해 등 불안감이 완전히 해소되는 것은 아니다. 데이터 산업 발전을 위해서도 산적한 과제가 있고, 돌파해야 할 문제점도 많다. 1. 업무 공백이 생기지 않도록 개인정보 유관 기관이 협업체를 만들어서 신속·정확하게 업무를 개인정보보호위에 이관하고, 개인정보보호위가 성과 중심으로 일할 수 있도록 인력 및 물리 체계를 구성해야 한다. 2. 데이터 강국이 되기 위해 개인정보 활용성을 높인 만큼 개인정보 보호시스템도 개인정보 주체의 통제권을 강화하는 등 업그레이드해야 한다. 지속 가능하고 안전한 데이터 흐름을 보장하는 법제도 및 기술 생태계 속에서 효율 높게 기능하는 데이터 관리시스템과 보호 체계가 요구된다. 3. 데이터 3법 통과에도 산업과 시장에서 쓸 수 있는 데이터가 늘지 않는다면 그것은 더욱 심각한 문제다. 가명 정보 활용만으로 부족하다는 산업계의 우려가 있다. 공공 데이터가 마중물 역할을 할 수 있도록 공개를 더욱 확대해야 한다. 민간 데이터도 가명 처리 방식과 절차를 명확히 해 산업과 시장에서 혼동 없이 데이터를 쓸 수 있도록 세부 체계를 갖춰야 한다. 가명 정보 활용이 안전하다는 정보 주체의 신뢰가 축적되면 자연스럽게 데이터 제공과 수집, 활용이 증가할 것이다. 4. 데이터 증가는 그것만으로 효과가 있는 것이 아니다. 가명정보 가치를 높이기 위해서는 데이터를 모으고 분석해서 상품과 서비스, 중간재로 만들 수 있는 AI 기술도 활성화돼야 한다. 지난해 12월 과학기술정보통신부가 AI 국가전략을 발표했다. 데이터 산업이 빠르게 자리 잡을 수 있도록 AI 등 관련 기술과 연구 체계가 뒷받침돼야 한다. 5. 우리 데이터 기업이 해외에서도 성장할 수 있도록 유럽연합(EU)의 GDPR 적정성 평가(유럽 시민의 개인정보가 유럽 외로 이전될 때 필요한 규제) 결정을 이른 시일 안에 받아 내야 할 것이다. 6. 증가하는 데이터에 허위 조작 데이터가 들어간다면 AI 분석 결과가 부정확할 수 있다. 이를 억제하거나 분리해 낼 수 있는 기술 및 법제도 시스템 강화도 필요하다. 마지막으로 우리가 글로벌 데이터 강국으로 앞서가기 위해서는 데이터 수집 및 이용, 분석, 상용화 기술에서 국제 표준을 선도하는 등 국가 차원의 국제 리더십 확보를 위한 노력을 게을리해서는 안된다. 데이터 산업은 이제 겨우 첫 단추를 뀄다. 데이터 3법이 많은 시행착오와 갈등, 토론을 거친 끝에 국민 공감대를 얻어 국회를 통과한 만큼 제대로 작동하게 하는 것은 우리 모두의 권리이자 의무다.

종전부터 사실상 일반의 통행에 공용되던 토지에 대하여 인근주민들이 이른바 새마을사업의 일환으로 도로포장공사나 하수도설치공사 등을 함에 있어서, 지방자치단체 등이 공사비나 공사자재 등 재정적 지원을 하는 경우, 그 재정적 보조가 전체공사의 상당부분을 차지할 뿐 아니라 그 공사 이후 개설되는 도로가 일반공중의 교통에 공용되는 공도로 쓰이고, 지방자치단체 등이 그 도로의 개축, 유지, 재해복구 등의 관리를 담당하게 되는 경우에는, 그 도로개설의 형식적인 주관자가 누구이냐에 관계없이 지방자치단체 등은 도로화된 그 토지의 점유 관리를 하게 된다고 보는 것이 상당하다. 1. 원심판결이유에 의하면 원심은, 이 사건 토지는 원래 농지였는데, 1969.9.4. 건설부고시 제524호로 피고 시의 도시계획 가로 및 광장의 일부로 승인 고시되고, 그후 충청북도에 의해 지적승인된 도로예정지였으나 피고 시의 재정 형편상 도로 개설이 어려워 사업진행을 미루고 있던 중, 원고는 1974.8.17.경 자신의 소유이던 충주시 (주소 생략) 일대의 토지중 도로예정지인 이 사건 토지를 제외한 나머지 부분을 소외 1, 소외 2에게 매도하고, 위 소외인들이 1975.경 부터 그 부분에 택지를 조성하여 이를 수필지로 분할한 다음 주택을 신축하여 이를 매도하였는바, 그 과정에서 도로예정지인 이 사건 토지를 주민들이 사실상 통행함으로써 현재에 이르고 있는 사실과 그 후 피고 시에서는 이 사건 토지가 위와 같이 주민들의 통행에 이용되고 있는 현상을 고려하여 원고에게 이 사건 제1, 2토지에 대하여는 도로로 지목을 변경할 것을 촉구하였으나 원고가 불응하자 1979.5.25. 직권으로 그 지목을 도로로 변경하였을 뿐, 이 사건 제1, 2토지는 여전히 비포장으로 남아 있으며, 이 사건 제3, 4토지에 관하여는 1980.경 주민들이 비포장으로 인한 통행의 불편을 호소하여 그 요청에 따라 새마을사업의 일환으로 주민들에게 포장자재만을 지원하여 주민들이 포장공사를 시행하여 현재 보도 블럭이 깔려 있는 상태이며, 이 사건 토지 주위에 위와 같이 주택이 건축되고 거주하는 주민이 많아지자 피고 시가 주민생활의 편의를 위하여 상하수도 시설을 하였던 사실을 인정한 다음, 이 인정사실에 의하면 비록 이 사건 토지가 피고 시의 도시계획 가로 및 광장의 일부로 승인 공시된 바 있다고는 하나, 그것만으로는 피고시가 이 사건 토지를 도로로 개설하여 점유하고 있다고 할 수 없고, 그 후 피고 시에 의하여 구체적인 도로개설사업의 집행이 이루어진 바 없고, 다만 그 부근 토지가 택지로 개발되면서 주민들이 우선 이를 통행에 이용하고 있을 뿐이니, 피고 시가 주민들의 통행의 편의를 위하여 이 사건 제3, 4 토지위에 포장자재를 지원하였고, 주민들의 편의를 위하여 상, 하수도시설을 하였다고 하더라도, 이러한 사정만으로는 피고 시가 이 사건 토지를 도로로 개설하여 점유, 사용하고 있다고 볼 수는 없고, 달리 이를 인정할만한 아무런 증거가 없다는 이유로 원고의 부당이득반환청구를 배척하였다. 2. 종전부터 사실상 일반의 통행에 공용되던 토지에 대하여 인근주민들이 이른바 새마을사업의 일환으로 도로포장공사나 하수도설치공사 등을 함에 있어서, 지방자치단체 등이 공사비나 공사자재등 재정적 지원을 하는 경우, 그 재정적 보조가 전체공사의 상당부분을 차지할 뿐 아니라 그 공사 이후 개설되는 도로가 일반공중의 교통에 공용되는 공도로 쓰이고, 지방자치단체 등이 그 도로의 개축, 유지, 재해복구등의 관리를 담당하게 되는 경우에는, 그 도로개설의 형식적인 주관자가 누구이냐에 관계없이 지방자치단체 등은 도로화 된 그 토지의 점유 관리를 하게 된다고 보는 것이 상당하다 ( 당원 1991.2.22. 선고 90다카25529 판결 , 같은해 5.14. 선고 90다14522 판결 등 참조). 3. 그런데 원심이 인정하는 바에 따르더라도, 피고가 이 사건 제3, 4토지에 대하여 주민들의 새마을사업에 제공하였다는 것은 포장자재로서 공사에 소요되는 인력을 제외한 나머지 전부임을 알 수 있고, 또 원심이 인정한 사실에 의하면 피고가 이 사건 토지에 대하여 상하수도시설까지 하였다는 것이고, 갑 제11호증의 4(지적도)와 제1심증인 소외 3의 증언 및 제1심의 현장검증, 감정의 결과에 의하면, 이 사건 토지에는 상하수도시설외에 맨홀과 전신주가 설치되어 있고, 이 사건 토지는 일반 공중과 차량의 통행이 자유로운 정도의 노폭을 가진 도로로서 각 인접한 간선도로와 연결되어 있을 뿐 아니라, 이 사건 토지의 부근에는 시내버스 정류장이 소재하고 있어 차량의 통행이 자유로운 등 실제로 일반공중의 통행에 공용되고 있음이 엿보인다. 4. 그러므로 원심으로서는 위 1항과 같은 인정사실만으로 피고가 이 사건 토지를 점유 사용하고 있다고 볼 수 없다고 가볍게 배척할 것이 아니라, 이 사건 토지에 대하여 상하수도공사를 하게 된 경위와 이에 대한 원고의 동의 여부, 그리고 이 사건 제3, 4토지에 대하여 포장자재를 제공하여 포장공사를 하게 된 경위와 이 사건 토지를 포함한 전체도로를 규모(노폭과 기점 및 종점), 그 용도와 기능, 주위환경, 일반공중의 이용상황(어느 범위의 사람들이 어떠한 통행목적을 위하여 어떻게 이용하는지), 그리고 상하수도와 포장도로의 관리는 누가하고 있는지 등을 심리하고, 원고가 당초 그 사용수익권을 포기하였거나 사용 승낙을 한바 있었는지 여부까지 살펴보아 그 사실관계에 터잡아 피고가 이 사건 토지를 점유하고 있다고 볼 수 있는지 여부를 판단하여야 할 것이다.

"English IPA" redirects here. For the drink, see India pale ale § United Kingdom. For assistance with IPA transcriptions of English for Wikipedia articles, see Help:IPA/English. This article contains phonetic transcriptions in the International Phonetic Alphabet (IPA). For an introductory guide on IPA symbols, see Help:IPA. For the distinction between [ ], / / and ⟨ ⟩, see IPA § Brackets and transcription delimiters. English phonology is the system of speech sounds used in spoken English. Like many other languages, English has wide variation in pronunciation, both historically and from dialect to dialect. In general, however, the regional dialects of English share a largely similar (but not identical) phonological system. Among other things, most dialects have vowel reduction in unstressed syllables and a complex set of phonological features that distinguish fortis and lenis consonants (stops, affricates, and fricatives). Phonological analysis of English often concentrates on or uses, as a reference point, one or more of the prestige or standard accents, such as Received Pronunciation for England, General American for the United States, and General Australian for Australia. Nevertheless, many other dialects of English are spoken, which have developed independently from these standardized accents, particularly regional dialects. Information about these standardized accents functions only as a limited guide to all of English phonology, which one can later expand upon once one becomes more familiar with some of the many other dialects of English that are spoken. A phoneme of a language or dialect is an abstraction of a speech sound or of a group of different sounds that are all perceived to have the same function by speakers of that particular language or dialect. For example, the English word through consists of three phonemes: the initial "th" sound, the "r" sound, and a vowel sound. The phonemes in that and many other English words do not always correspond directly to the letters used to spell them (English orthography is not as strongly phonemic as that of many other languages). The number and distribution of phonemes in English vary from dialect to dialect, and also depend on the interpretation of the individual researcher. The number of consonant phonemes is generally put at 24 (or slightly more depending on the dialect). The number of vowels is subject to greater variation; in the system presented on this page there are 20–25 vowel phonemes in Received Pronunciation, 14–16 in General American and 19–21 in Australian English. The pronunciation keys used in dictionaries generally contain a slightly greater number of symbols than this, to take account of certain sounds used in foreign words and certain noticeable distinctions that may not be—strictly speaking—phonemic. The following table shows the 24 consonant phonemes found in most dialects of English, plus /x/, whose distribution is more limited, and the glottal stop (/ʔ/), which is often merely an allophone of /t/, but often appears in the interjection "uh-oh," though using a glottal stop is often optional in most dialects in any other context. Fortis consonants are always voiceless, aspirated in syllable onset (except in clusters beginning with /s/ or /ʃ/), and sometimes also glottalized to an extent in syllable coda (most likely to occur with /t/, see T-glottalization), while lenis consonants are always unaspirated and un-glottalized, and generally partially or fully voiced. The alveolars are usually apical, i.e. pronounced with the tip of the tongue touching or approaching the roof of the mouth, though some speakers produce them laminally, i.e. with the blade of the tongue.[1] ^ a b c Some varieties of English have syllabic consonants in some words, principally [l̩, m̩, n̩], for example at the end of bottle, rhythm and button. In such cases, no phonetic vowel is pronounced between the last two consonants, and the last consonant forms a syllable on its own. Syllabic consonants are generally transcribed with a vertical line under the consonant letter, so that phonetic transcription of bottle and button in GA would be [ˈbɑɾl̩] and [ˈbʌʔn̩]. In theory, such consonants could be analyzed as individual phonemes. However, this would add several extra consonant phonemes to the inventory for English,[2] and phonologists prefer to identify syllabic nasals and liquids phonemically as /əC/.[3][4] Thus button is phonemically /ˈbʌtən/ or /ˈbatən/ and bottle is phonemically /ˈbɒtəl/, /ˈbɑtəl/, or /ˈbɔtəl/. ^ a b /θ, ð/ are realized as stops in accents affected by th-stopping, such as Hiberno-English, the New York accent, and South Asian English. They are merged with /f, v/ in accents affected by th-fronting, such as some varieties of Cockney and African American Vernacular English. See Pronunciation of English ⟨th⟩. ^ The voiceless velar fricative /x/ is mainly used in Hiberno-English, Scottish, South African and Welsh English; words with /x/ in Scottish accents tend to be pronounced with /k/ in other dialects. The velar fricative sometimes appears in recent loanwords such as chutzpah. Under the influence of Welsh and Afrikaans, the actual phonetic realization of /x/ in Welsh English and White South African English is uvular [χ], rather than velar [x].[5][6][7] Dialects do not necessarily agree on the exact words in which /x/ appears; for instance, in Welsh English it appears in loanwords from Welsh (such as Amlwch /ˈæmlʊx/), whereas in White South African English it appears only in loanwords from Afrikaans or Xhosa (such as gogga /ˈxɒxə/ 'insect').[5][7] ^ This sound may not be a phoneme in H-dropping dialects. ^ This phoneme is conventionally transcribed with the basic Latin letter ⟨r⟩ (the IPA symbol for the alveolar trill), even though its pronunciation is usually a postalveolar approximant [ɹ̠]. The trill exists but is rare, found only in some Scottish, Welsh,[8] South African[9] and Indian[10] dialects. See Pronunciation of English /r/. ^ The sound at the beginning of huge in most British accents[11] is a voiceless palatal fricative [ç], but this is analysed phonemically as the consonant cluster /hj/ so that huge is transcribed /hjuːdʒ/. As with /hw/, this does not mean that speakers pronounce [h] followed by [j]; the phonemic transcription /hj/ is simply a convenient way of representing the single sound [ç].[12] The yod-dropping found in the Norfolk dialect means that the traditional Norfolk pronunciation of huge is [hʊudʒ] and not [çuːdʒ]. ^ In some conservative accents in Scotland, Ireland, the southern United States, and New England, the digraph ⟨wh⟩ in words like which and whine represents a voiceless w sound [ʍ], a voiceless labiovelar fricative[13][14][15] or approximant,[16] which contrasts with the voiced w of witch and wine. In most dialects, this sound is lost, and is pronounced as a voiced w (the wine–whine merger). Phonemically this sound may be analysed as a consonant cluster /hw/, rather than as a separate phoneme */ʍ/, so which and whine are transcribed phonemically as /hwɪtʃ/ and /hwaɪn/. This does not mean that such speakers actually pronounce [h] followed by [w]: this phonemic transcription /hw/ is simply a convenient way of representing a single sound [ʍ] when such dialects are not analysed as having an extra phoneme.[12] The following table shows typical examples of the occurrence of the above consonant phonemes in words, using minimal pairs where possible. Received Pronunciation has two main allophones of /l/: the clear or plain [l] (the "light L"), and the dark or velarized [ɫ] (the "dark L"). The clear variant is used before vowels when they are in the same syllable, and the dark variant when the /l/ precedes a consonant or is in syllable-final position before silence. In South Wales, Ireland, and the Caribbean, /l/ is usually clear, and in North Wales, Scotland, Australia, and New Zealand it is usually dark. In General American and Canada, /l/ is generally dark, but to varying degrees: before stressed vowels it is neutral or only slightly velarized.[17] In southern U.S. accents it is noticeably clear between vowels, and in some other positions.[18] In urban accents of Southern England, as well as New Zealand and some parts of the United States, /l/ can be pronounced as an approximant or semivowel ([w], [o], [ʊ]) at the end of a syllable (l-vocalization). alveolar trill [r] (occurs in some very conservative Scottish dialects and some Indian, South African and Welsh accents)[10][9][8] In most dialects /r/ is labialized [ɹ̠ʷ] in many positions, as in reed [ɹ̠ʷiːd] and tree [t̠ɹ̠̊ʷiː]; in the latter case, the /t/ may be slightly labialized as well.[20] In some rhotic accents, such as General American, /r/ when not followed by a vowel is realized as an r-coloring of the preceding vowel or its coda: nurse [ˈnɚs], butter [ˈbʌɾɚ]. The distinctions between the nasals are neutralized in some environments. For example, before a final /p/, /t/ or /k/ there is nearly always only one nasal sound that can appear in each case: [m], [n] or [ŋ] respectively (as in the words limp, lint, link – note that the n of link is pronounced [ŋ]). This effect can even occur across syllable or word boundaries, particularly in stressed syllables: synchrony is pronounced [ˈsɪŋkɹəni] whereas synchronic may be pronounced with either [sɪŋ-] or [sɪn-]. For other possible syllable-final combinations, see § Coda in the Phonotactics section below. In most dialects, the fortis stops and affricate /p, t, tʃ, k/ have various different allophones, and are distinguished from the lenis stops and affricate /b, d, dʒ, ɡ/ by several phonetic features.[21] aspirated [pʰ, tʰ, kʰ] when they occur in the onset of a stressed syllable, as in potato. In clusters involving a following liquid, the aspiration typically manifests as the devoicing of this liquid. These sounds are unaspirated [p, t, k] after /s/ within the same syllable, as in stan, span, scan, and at the ends of syllables, as in mat, map, mac.[22] The voiceless fricatives are nearly always unaspirated, but a notable exception is English-speaking areas of Wales, where they are often aspirated.[23] In many accents of English, fortis stops /p, t, k, tʃ/ are glottalized in some positions. That may be heard either as a glottal stop preceding the oral closure ("pre-glottalization" or "glottal reinforcement") or as a substitution of the glottal stop [ʔ] for the oral stop (glottal replacement). /tʃ/ can be only pre-glottalized. Pre-glottalization normally occurs in British and American English when the fortis consonant phoneme is followed by another consonant or when the consonant is in final position. Thus football and catching are often pronounced [ˈfʊʔtbɔːl] and [ˈkæʔtʃɪŋ], respectively. Glottal replacement often happens in cases such as those just given, so that football is frequently pronounced [ˈfʊʔbɔːl]. In addition, however, glottal replacement is increasingly common in British English when /t/ occurs between vowels if the preceding vowel is stressed; thus better is often pronounced by younger speakers as [ˈbeʔə].[24] Such t-glottalization also occurs in many British regional accents, including Cockney, where it can also occur at the end of words, and where /p/ and /k/ are sometimes treated the same way.[25] For some RP-speakers, final voiceless stops, especially /k/, may become ejectives.[26] May have no audible release [p̚, b̚, t̚, d̚, k̚, ɡ̚] in the word-final position.[27][28] These allophones are more common in North America than Great Britain.[27] Almost always have a masked release before another plosive or affricate (as in rubbed [ˈɹʌˑb̚d̥]), i.e. the release of the first stop is made after the closure of the second stop. This also applies when the following stop is homorganic (articulated in the same place), as in top player.[29] A notable exception is Welsh English in which stops are usually released in that environment.[23] The affricates /tʃ, dʒ/ have a mandatory fricative release in all environments.[30] Very often in the United States and Canada and less frequently in Australia[31] and New Zealand,[32] both /t/ and /d/ can be pronounced as a voiced flap [ɾ] in certain positions: when they come between a preceding stressed vowel (possibly with intervening /r/) and precede an unstressed vowel or syllabic /l/. Examples include water, bottle, petal, peddle (the last two words sound alike when flapped). The flap may even appear at word boundaries, as in put it on. When the combination /nt/ appears in such positions, some American speakers pronounce it as a nasalized flap that may become indistinguishable from /n/, so winter [ˈwɪɾ̃ɚ] may be pronounced similarly or identically to winner [ˈwɪnɚ].[33] Yod-coalescence is a process that palatalizes the clusters /dj/, /tj/, /sj/ and /zj/ into [dʒ], [tʃ], [ʃ] and [ʒ] respectively, frequently occurring with clusters that would be considered to span a syllable boundary.[34] Yod-coalescence in stressed syllables, such as in tune and dune, occurs in Australian, Cockney, Estuary English, Hiberno-English (some speakers), Newfoundland English, South African English, and to a certain extent in New Zealand English and Scottish English (many speakers). This can lead to additional homophony; for instance, dew and due come to be pronounced the same as Jew.[35] In certain varieties such as Australian English, South African English, and New Zealand English, /sj/ and /zj/ in stressed syllables can coalesce into [ʃ] and [ʒ], respectively. In Australian English for example, assume is pronounced [əˈʃʉːm] by some speakers.[36] Furthermore, some British, Canadian, American, New Zealand and Australian speakers may change the /s/ sound to /ʃ/ before /tr/,[37] so that a word having a cluster of ⟨str⟩ like in strewn would be pronounced [ʃtruːn].[38] The postalveolar consonants /tʃ, dʒ, ʃ, ʒ/ are strongly labialized: [tʃʷ dʒʷ ʃʷ ʒʷ].[39] In addition to /tʃ, dʒ/, the sequences /ts, dz, tr, dr, tθ, dð, pf, bv/ also have affricate-like realizations in certain positions (as in cats, roads, tram, dram, eighth, behind them, cupful, obvious; see also § Onset), but usually only /tʃ, dʒ/ are considered to constitute the monophonemic affricates of English because (among other reasons) only they are found in all of morpheme-initial, -‍internal, and -‍final positions, and native speakers typically perceive them as single units.[40][41][42] English, much like other Germanic languages, has a particularly large number of vowel phonemes, and in addition the vowels of English differ considerably between dialects. Consequently, corresponding vowels may be transcribed with various symbols depending on the dialect under consideration. When considering English as a whole, lexical sets are often used, each named by a word containing the vowel or vowels in question. For example, the LOT set consists of words which, like lot, have /ɒ/ in Received Pronunciation and /ɑ/ in General American. The "LOT vowel" then refers to the vowel that appears in those words in whichever dialect is being considered, or (at a greater level of abstraction) to a diaphoneme, which represents this interdialectal correspondence. A commonly-used system of lexical sets, devised by John C. Wells, is presented below; for each set, the corresponding phonemes are given for RP and General American, using the notation that will be used on this page. For a table that shows the pronunciations of these vowels in a wider range of English dialects, see IPA chart for English dialects. The following tables show the vowel phonemes of three standard varieties of English. The notation system used here for Received Pronunciation (RP) is fairly standard; the others less so. The feature descriptions given here (front, close, etc.) are abstracted somewhat; the actual pronunciations of these vowels are somewhat more accurately conveyed by the IPA symbols used (see Vowel for a chart indicating the meanings of these symbols; though note also the points listed below the following tables). The symbols given in the table are traditional but redirect to their modern implementation. ^ a b The modern RP vowel /e/ is pronouced very similar to the corresponding GenAm phoneme /ɛ/. The difference between them is simply a matter of transcription convention (the way they are transcribed in RP reflects a more conservative pronunciation). ^ a b c d e f The modern RP vowels /uː/, /ɔː/ and /ɒ/ are very similar to the corresponding Australian phonemes /ʉː/, /oː/ and /ɔ/. The difference between them lies mostly in transcription (the way they are transcribed in RP is more conservative). ^ a b Although the notation /eɪ oʊ/ are used for the vowels of FACE and GOAT respectively in General American, they are analysed as phonemic monophthongs and frequently transcribed as /e o/ in the literature. ^ a b General American does not have the opposition between /ɜr/ and /ər/; therefore, the vowels in further /ˈfɜrðər/ are typically realized with the same segmental quality as [ˈfɚðɚ].[46] This also makes the words forward /ˈfɔrwərd/ and foreword /ˈfɔrwɜrd/ homophonous as [ˈfɔɹwɚd].[46] Therefore, /ɜ/ is not a true phoneme in General American but merely a different notation of /ə/ preserved for when this phoneme precedes /r/ and is stressed—a convention adopted in literature to facilitate comparisons with other accents.[47] What is historically /ʌr/, as in hurry, is also pronounced [ɚ] (see hurry–furry merger), so /ʌ/, /ɜ/ and /ə/ are all neutralized before /r/. Furthermore, some analyze /ʌ/ as an allophone of /ə/ that surfaces when stressed, so /ʌ/, /ɜ/ and /ə/ may be considered to be in complementary distribution and thus comprising one phoneme.[47] ^ Many North American speakers do not distinguish /ɔ/ from /ɑ/ and merge them into /ɑ/, except before /r/ (see cot–caught merger). ^ The vowel /ʊə/ is often omitted from descriptions of Australian, as for most speakers it has split into the long monophthong /oː/ (e.g. poor, sure) or the sequence /ʉːə/ (e.g. cure, lure).[48] General American lacks a phoneme corresponding to RP /ɒ/ (LOT, CLOTH), instead using /ɑ/ in the LOT words and generally /ɔ/ in the CLOTH words. In a few North American accents, namely in Eastern New England (Boston) LOT words do not have the vowel of PALM (the father–bother merger has not occurred) but instead merge with CLOTH/THOUGHT.[49][50][51][52] Although the notation /ʌ/ is used for the vowel of STRUT in RP and General American, the actual pronunciation in RP may be closer to a near-open central vowel [ɐ], especially among older speakers. In modern RP, this vowel is increasingly realized as [ʌ] to avoid the clash with the lowered variety of /æ/ in the [a] region (the trap–strut merger). In General American, /ʌ/ is invariably realized as [ʌ], whereas [ɐ] does not appear in this context.[53][54][55][56] RP transcriptions use ⟨e⟩ rather than ⟨ɛ⟩ largely for convenience and historical tradition; it does not necessarily represent a different sound from the General American phoneme, as the DRESS vowel is generally realized as [ɛ] in modern RP.[57] The different notations used for the vowel of GOAT in RP and General American (/əʊ/ and /oʊ/) reflect a difference in the most common phonetic realizations of that vowel. The triphthongs given in the RP table are usually regarded as sequences of two phonemes (a diphthong plus /ə/); however, in RP, these sequences frequently undergo smoothing into single diphthongs or even monophthongs. The different notations used here for some of the Australian vowels reflect the phonetic realization of those vowels in Australian: a central [ʉː] rather than [uː] in GOOSE, a more closed [e] rather than [ɛ] in DRESS, a close-mid [oː] rather than traditional RP's [ɔː] in THOUGHT, an open-mid [ɔ] rather than traditional RP's [ɒ] in LOT, an opener [a] rather than somewhat closer [ʌ] in STRUT, a central [aː] rather a back [ɑː] in CALM and START, and somewhat different pronunciations of most of the diphthongs. Note that central [ʉː] in GOOSE, close-mid [oː] in THOUGHT and open-mid [ɔ] in LOT are standard realizations in modern RP and the difference between modern RP and Australian English in these vowels lies almost only in transcription, rather than pronunciation.[58][44][59] Both Australian /eː/ and RP /ɛː/ are long monophthongs, the difference between them being in tongue height: Australian /eː/ is close-mid [eː], whereas the corresponding RP vowel is open-mid [ɛː].[60][59] The vowel /æ/ is coming to be pronounced more open (approaching [a]) by many modern RP speakers. In American speech, however, there is a tendency for it to become more closed, tenser and even diphthongized (to something like [eə]), particularly in certain environments, such as before a nasal consonant,[61] though younger speakers of some varieties are lowering /æ/ like RP speakers (see Canadian shift). Some American accents, for example those of New York City, Philadelphia and Baltimore, make a marginal phonemic distinction between /æ/ and /eə/, although the two occur largely in mutually exclusive environments. See /æ/ raising. A significant number of words (the BATH group) have /æ/ in General American, but /ɑː/ in RP. The pronunciation varies between /æ/ and /aː/ in Australia, with speakers from South Australia using /aː/ more extensively than speakers from other regions. In General American and Canadian (which are rhotic accents, where /r/ is pronounced in positions where it does not precede a vowel), many of the vowels can be r-colored by way of realization of a following /r/. This is often transcribed phonetically using a vowel symbol with an added retroflexion diacritic [ ˞ ]; thus the symbol [ɚ] has been created for an r-colored schwa (sometimes called schwar) as in LETTER, and the vowel of START can be modified to make [ɑ˞] so that the word start may be transcribed [stɑ˞t]. Alternatively, the START sequence might be written [stɑɚt] to indicate an r-colored offglide. The vowel of NURSE is generally always r-colored in these dialects, and this can be written [ɚ] (or as a syllabic [ɹ̩]). In modern RP and other dialects, many words from the CURE group are coming to be pronounced by an increasing number of speakers with the NORTH vowel (so sure is often pronounced like shore).[62] The vowels of FLEECE and GOOSE are commonly pronounced as narrow diphthongs, approaching [ɪi] and [ʊu], in RP. Near-RP speakers may have particularly marked diphthongization of the type [əi] and [əu ~ əʉ], respectively. In General American, the pronunciation varies between a monophthong and a diphthong.[43] Listed here are some of the significant cases of allophony of vowels found within standard English dialects. Vowels are shortened when followed in a syllable by a voiceless (fortis) consonant.[63] This is known as pre-fortis clipping. Thus in the following word pairs the first item has a shortened vowel while the second has a normal length vowel: 'right' /raɪt/ – 'ride' /raɪd/; 'face' /feɪs/ – 'phase' /feɪz/; 'advice' /ədvaɪs/ – 'advise' /ədvaɪz/. In many accents of English, tense vowels undergo breaking before /l/, resulting in pronunciations like [pʰiəɫ] for peel, [pʰuəɫ] for pool, [pʰeəɫ] for pail, and [pʰoəɫ] for pole.[citation needed] In RP, the vowel /əʊ/ may be pronounced more back, as [ɒʊ], before syllable-final /l/, as in goal. In standard Australian English the vowel /əʉ/ is similarly backed to [ɔʊ] before /l/. A similar phenomenon may occur in Southern American English.[citation needed] The vowel /ə/ is often pronounced [ɐ] in open syllables.[64] The PRICE and MOUTH diphthongs may be pronounced with a less open starting point when followed by a voiceless consonant;[65] this is chiefly a feature of Canadian speech (Canadian raising), but is also found in parts of the United States.[66] Thus writer may be distinguished from rider even when flapping causes the /t/ and /d/ to be pronounced identically. schwa, [ə], as in COMMA and (in non-rhotic dialects) LETTER (COMMA–LETTER merger); also in many other positions such as about, photograph, paddock, etc. This sound is essentially restricted to unstressed syllables exclusively. In the approach presented here it is identified as a phoneme /ə/, although other analyses do not have a separate phoneme for schwa and regard it as a reduction or neutralization of other vowels in syllables with the lowest degree of stress. r-colored schwa, [ɚ], as in LETTER in General American and some other rhotic dialects, which can be identified with the underlying sequence /ər/. syllabic consonants: [l̩] as in bottle, [n̩] as in button, [m̩] as in rhythm. These may be phonemized either as a plain consonant or as a schwa followed by a consonant; for example button may be represented as /ˈbʌtn̩/ or /ˈbʌtən/ (see above under Consonants). [ʉ̞], as in argument, today, for which similar considerations apply as in the case of [ɨ̞]. (The symbol ⟨ᵿ⟩ is sometimes used in these cases, similarly to ⟨ᵻ⟩.) Some speakers may also have a rounded schwa, [ɵ̞], used in words like omission [ɵ̞ˈmɪʃən].[67] [i], as in happy, coffee, in many dialects (others have [ɪ] in this position).[68] The phonemic status of this [i] is not easy to establish. Some authors consider it to correspond phonemically with a close front vowel that is neither the vowel of KIT nor that of FLEECE; it occurs chiefly in contexts where the contrast between these vowels is neutralized,[69][70][71] implying that it represents an archiphoneme, which may be written /i/. Many speakers, however, do have a contrast in pairs of words like studied and studded or taxis and taxes; the contrast may be [i] vs. [ɪ], [ɪ] vs. [ə] or [i] vs. [ə], hence some authors consider that the happY-vowel should be identified phonemically either with the vowel of KIT or that of FLEECE, depending on speaker.[72] See also happy-tensing. [u], as in influence, to each. This is the back rounded counterpart to [i] described above; its phonemic status is treated in the same works as cited there. Vowel reduction in unstressed syllables is a significant feature of English. Syllables of the types listed above often correspond to a syllable containing a different vowel ("full vowel") used in other forms of the same morpheme where that syllable is stressed. For example, the first o in photograph, being stressed, is pronounced with the GOAT vowel, but in photography, where it is unstressed, it is reduced to schwa. Also, certain common words (a, an, of, for, etc.) are pronounced with a schwa when they are unstressed, although they have different vowels when they are in a stressed position (see Weak and strong forms in English). Some unstressed syllables, however, retain full (unreduced) vowels, i.e. vowels other than those listed above. Examples are the /æ/ in ambition and the /aɪ/ in finite. Some phonologists regard such syllables as not being fully unstressed (they may describe them as having tertiary stress); some dictionaries have marked such syllables as having secondary stress. However linguists such as Ladefoged[73] and Bolinger (1986) regard this as a difference purely of vowel quality and not of stress,[74] and thus argue that vowel reduction itself is phonemic in English. Examples of words where vowel reduction seems to be distinctive for some speakers[75] include chickaree vs. chicory (the latter has the reduced vowel of HAPPY, whereas the former has the FLEECE vowel without reduction), and Pharaoh vs. farrow (both have the GOAT vowel, but in the latter word it may reduce to [ɵ]). Lexical stress is phonemic in English. For example, the noun increase and the verb increase are distinguished by the positioning of the stress on the first syllable in the former, and on the second syllable in the latter. (See initial-stress-derived noun.) Stressed syllables in English are louder than non-stressed syllables, as well as being longer and having a higher pitch. In traditional approaches, in any English word consisting of more than one syllable, each syllable is ascribed one of three degrees of stress: primary, secondary or unstressed. Ordinarily, in each such word there will be exactly one syllable with primary stress, possibly one syllable having secondary stress, and the remainder are unstressed (unusually-long words may have multiple syllables with secondary stress). For example, the word amazing has primary stress on the second syllable, while the first and third syllables are unstressed, whereas the word organization has primary stress on the fourth syllable, secondary stress on the first, and the second, third, and fifth unstressed. This is often shown in pronunciation keys using the IPA symbols for primary and secondary stress (which are ˈ and ˌ respectively), placed before the syllables to which they apply. The two words just given may therefore be represented (in RP) as /əˈmeɪzɪŋ/ and /ˌɔːɡənaɪˈzeɪʃən/. In some analyses, then, the concept of lexical stress may become conflated with that of vowel reduction. An approach that attempts to separate both is provided by Peter Ladefoged, who states that it is possible to describe English with only one degree of stress, as long as unstressed syllables are phonemically distinguished for vowel reduction.[76][77] In this approach, the distinction between primary and secondary stress is regarded as a phonetic or prosodic detail rather than a phonemic feature – primary stress is seen as an example of the predictable "tonic" stress that falls on the final stressed syllable of a prosodic unit. For more details of this analysis, see Stress and vowel reduction in English. For stress as a prosodic feature (emphasis of particular words within utterances), see § Prosodic stress below. Phonotactics is the study of the sequences of phonemes that occur in languages and the sound structures that they form. In this study it is usual to represent consonants in general with the letter C and vowels with the letter V, so that a syllable such as 'be' is described as having CV structure. The IPA symbol used to show a division between syllables is the full stop ⟨.⟩. Syllabification is the process of dividing continuous speech into discrete syllables, a process in which the position of a syllable division is not always easy to decide upon. Most languages of the world syllabify CVCV and CVCCV sequences as /CV.CV/ and /CVC.CV/ or /CV.CCV/, with consonants preferentially acting as the onset of a syllable containing the following vowel. According to one view, English is unusual in this regard, in that stressed syllables attract following consonants, so that ˈCVCV and ˈCVCCV syllabify as /ˈCVC.V/ and /ˈCVCC.V/, as long as the consonant cluster CC is a possible syllable coda; in addition, /r/ preferentially syllabifies with the preceding vowel even when both syllables are unstressed, so that CVrV occurs as /CVr.V/. This is the analysis used in the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary.[78] However, this view is not widely accepted, as explained in the following section. English allows clusters of up to three consonants in the syllable onset and up to four consonants in the syllable coda,[79][80] giving a general syllable structure of (C)3V(C)4, a potential example being strengths /strɛŋkθs/ (although this word has variant pronunciations with only 3 coda consonants, such as /strɛŋθs/). A five-consonant coda may occur in the word angsts, but this is a highly exceptional case, as the word is both infrequent and not always pronounced with five final segments[80] (it can be analyzed as a VC4 syllable[79] /æŋsts/ rather than as VC5 /æŋksts/). From the phonetic point of view, the analysis of syllable structures is a complex task: because of widespread occurrences of articulatory overlap, English speakers rarely produce an audible release of individual consonants in consonant clusters.[81] This coarticulation can lead to articulatory gestures that seem very much like deletions or complete assimilations. For example, hundred pounds may sound like [hʌndɹɪb paʊndz] and jumped back (in slow speech, [dʒʌmptbæk]) may sound like [dʒʌmpbæk], but X-ray[82] and electropalatographic[83][84][85] studies demonstrate that inaudible and possibly weakened contacts or lingual gestures may still be made. Thus the second /d/ in hundred pounds does not entirely assimilate to a labial place of articulation, rather the labial gesture co-occurs with the alveolar one; the "missing" [t] in jumped back may still be articulated, though not heard. Division into syllables is a difficult area, and different theories have been proposed. A widely accepted approach is the maximal onset principle:[86] this states that, subject to certain constraints, any consonants in between vowels should be assigned to the following syllable. Thus the word leaving should be divided /ˈliː.vɪŋ/ rather than */ˈliːv.ɪŋ/, and hasty is /ˈheɪ.sti/ rather than */ˈheɪs.ti/ or */ˈheɪst.i/. However, when such a division results in an onset cluster that is not allowed in English, the division must respect this. Thus if the word extra were divided */ˈɛ.kstrə/ the resulting onset of the second syllable would be /kstr/, a cluster that does not occur initially in English. The division /ˈɛk.strə/ is therefore preferred. If assigning a consonant or consonants to the following syllable would result in the preceding syllable ending in an unreduced short vowel, this is avoided. Thus the word lemma should be divided /ˈlɛm.ə/ and not */ˈlɛ.mə/, even though the latter division gives the maximal onset to the following syllable. In some cases, no solution is completely satisfactory: for example, in British English (RP) the word hurry could be divided /ˈhʌ.ri/ or /ˈhʌr.i/, but the former would result in an analysis with a syllable-final /ʌ/ (which is held to be non-occurring) while the latter would result in a syllable final /r/ (which is said not to occur in this accent). Some phonologists have suggested a compromise analysis where the consonant in the middle belongs to both syllables, and is described as ambisyllabic.[87][88] In this way, it is possible to suggest an analysis of hurry that comprises the syllables /hʌr/ and /ri/, the medial /r/ being ambisyllabic. Where the division coincides with a word boundary, or the boundary between elements of a compound word, it is not usual in the case of dictionaries to insist on the maximal onset principle in a way that divides words in a counter-intuitive way; thus the word hardware would be divided /ˈhɑː.dweə/ by the maximal onset principle, but dictionaries prefer the division /ˈhɑːd.weə/.[89][90][91] In the approach used by the Longman Pronunciation Dictionary, Wells[78] claims that consonants syllabify with the preceding rather than following vowel when the preceding vowel is the nucleus of a more salient syllable, with stressed syllables being the most salient, reduced syllables the least, and full unstressed vowels ("secondary stress") intermediate. But there are lexical differences as well, frequently but not exclusively with compound words. For example, in dolphin and selfish, Wells argues that the stressed syllable ends in /lf/, but in shellfish, the /f/ belongs with the following syllable: /ˈdɒlf.ɪn, ˈself.ɪʃ/ → [ˈdɒlfɪ̈n, ˈselfɪ̈ʃ], but /ˈʃel.fɪʃ/ → [ˈʃelˑfɪʃ], where the /l/ is a little longer and the /ɪ/ is not reduced. Similarly, in toe-strap Wells argues that the second /t/ is a full plosive, as usual in syllable onset, whereas in toast-rack the second /t/ is in many dialects reduced to the unreleased allophone it takes in syllable codas, or even elided: /ˈtoʊ.stræp/, /ˈtoʊst.ræk/ → [ˈtoˑʊstɹæp, ˈtoʊs(t̚)ɹæk]; likewise nitrate /ˈnaɪtr.eɪt/ → [ˈnaɪtɹ̥eɪt] with a voiceless /r/ (and for some people an affricated tr as in tree), vs night-rate /ˈnaɪt.reɪt/ → [ˈnaɪt̚ɹeɪt] with a voiced /r/. Cues of syllable boundaries include aspiration of syllable onsets and (in the US) flapping of coda /t, d/ (a tease /ə.ˈtiːz/ → [əˈtʰiːz] vs. at ease /ət.ˈiːz/ → [əɾˈiːz]), epenthetic stops like [t] in syllable codas (fence /ˈfens/ → [ˈfents] but inside /ɪn.ˈsaɪd/ → [ɪnˈsaɪd]), and r-colored vowels when the /r/ is in the coda vs. labialization when it is in the onset (key-ring /ˈkiː.rɪŋ/ → [ˈkiːɹʷɪŋ] but fearing /ˈfiːr.ɪŋ/ → [ˈfɪəɹɪŋ]). Voiceless fricative or /v/ plus approximant other than /j/:[b] Consonant other than /r/ or /w/ plus /j/ (before /uː/ or its modified/reduced forms):[e] /pj/, /bj/, /tj/,[e] /dj/,[e] /kj/, /ɡj/, /mj/, /nj/,[e] /fj/, /vj/, /θj/,[e] /sj/,[e] /zj/,[e] /hj/, /lj/[e] pure, beautiful, tube,[e] during,[e] cute, argue, music, new,[e] few, view, thew,[e] suit,[e] Zeus,[e] huge, lurid[e] ^ a b c d For certain speakers, /tr/ and /dr/ tend to affricate, so that tree resembles "chree", and dream resembles "jream".[92][93][94] This is sometimes transcribed as [tʃɹ] and [dʒɹ], respectively, but the pronunciation varies, and may, for example, be closer to [tʂ] and [dʐ][95] or with a fricative release similar in quality to the rhotic, i.e. [tɹ̝̊ɹ̥], [dɹ̝ɹ], or [tʂɻ], [dʐɻ]. ^ Some northern and insular Scottish dialects, particularly in Shetland, preserve onsets such as /ɡn/ (as in gnaw), /kn/ (as in knock), and /wr/ or /vr/ (as in write).[96][97] ^ a b c d e Words beginning in unusual consonant clusters that originated in Latinized Greek loanwords tend to drop the first phoneme, as in */bd/, */fθ/, */ɡn/, */hr/, */kn/, */ks/, */kt/, */kθ/, */mn/, */pn/, */ps/, */pt/, */tm/, and */θm/, which have become /d/ (bdellium), /θ/ (phthisis), /n/ (gnome), /r/ (rhythm), /n/ (cnidoblast), /z/ (xylophone), /t/ (ctenophore), /θ/ (chthonic), /n/ (mnemonic), /n/ (pneumonia), /s/ (psychology), /t/ (pterodactyl), /m/ (tmesis), and /m/ (asthma). In some other words with these or other similar consonant clusters, the leading consonant has split off into a separate syllable; for instance, */kθ/ becoming /kə.θ/ (Cthulhu) or */fθ/ or */pθ/ becoming /pə.θ/ (phthalate). However, the onsets /sf/, /sfr/, /skl/, /sθ/, and /θl/ have remained intact. ^ a b The onset /hw/ is simplified to /w/ in the majority of dialects (wine–whine merger). ^ a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q Clusters ending /j/ typically occur before /uː/ and before the CURE vowel (General American /ʊr/, RP /ʊə/); they may also come before the reduced forms /ʊ/ (as in argument) or /ə/ (as in some American pronunciations of pure and cure), and can occur before other vowels in loanwords (for instance, before /oʊ/ in jalapeño) or mimetic words (for instance, before, variably, /ɑ/, /æ/, or /ɛ/ in nyah-nyah). There is an ongoing sound change (yod-dropping) by which /j/ as the final consonant in a cluster is being lost. In RP, words with /sj/ and /lj/ can usually be pronounced with or without this sound, e.g. [suːt] or [sjuːt]. For some speakers of English, including some British speakers, the sound change is more advanced, and, so, for example, General American does not (except in loans or mimetic words) contain the onsets /tj/, /dj/, /nj/, /θj/, /sj/, /stj/, /zj/, or /lj/. Words that would otherwise begin in these onsets drop the /j/: e.g. tube (/tub/), during (/ˈdɜrɪŋ/), new (/nu/), Thule (/ˈθuli/), suit (/sut/), student (/ˈstudənt/), Zeus (/zus/), lurid (/ˈlʊrəd/). In word-medial position, these sequences can still be found in American English between a stressed and unstressed vowel (as in annual /ˈænjuəl/, failure /ˈfeɪljər/), but the consonants can be analyzed in this context as falling in separate syllables, and so not constituting a syllable onset. In some dialects, such Welsh English, /j/ may occur in more combinations; for example in /tʃj/ (chew), /dʒj/ (Jew), /ʃj/ (sure), and /slj/ (slew). ^ a b c Many clusters beginning with /ʃ/ and paralleling native clusters beginning with /s/ are found initially in German and Yiddish loanwords, such as /ʃl/, /ʃp/, /ʃt/, /ʃm/, /ʃn/, /ʃpr/, /ʃtr/ (in words such as schlep, spiel, shtick, schmuck, schnapps, Shprintzen's, strudel). /ʃw/ is found initially in the Hebrew loanword schwa. Before /r/, however, the native cluster is /ʃr/. The opposite cluster /sr/ is found in loanwords such as Sri Lanka, but this can be nativized by changing it to /ʃr/. Certain English onsets appear only in contractions: e.g. /zbl/ ('sblood), and /zw/ or /dzw/ ('swounds or 'dswounds). Some, such as /pʃ/ (pshaw), /fw/ (fwoosh), or /vr/ (vroom), can occur in interjections. An archaic voiceless fricative plus nasal exists, /fn/ (fnese), as does an archaic /snj/ (snew). Several additional onsets occur in loan words (with varying degrees of anglicization) such as /bw/ (bwana), /mw/ (moiré), /nw/ (noire), /tsw/ (zwitterion), /zw/ (zwieback), /dv/ (Dvorak), /kv/ (kvetch), /ʃv/ (schvartze), /tv/ (Tver), /tsv/ (Zwickau), /kʃ/ (Kshatriya), /tl/ (Tlaloc), /vl/ (Vladimir), /zl/ (zloty), /tsk/ (Tskhinvali), /hm/ (Hmong), /km/ (Khmer), and /ŋ/ (Nganasan). Some clusters of this type can be converted to regular English phonotactics by simplifying the cluster: e.g. /(d)z/ (dziggetai), /(h)r/ (Hrolf), /kr(w)/ (croissant), /(ŋ)w/ (Nguyen), /(p)f/ (pfennig), /(f)θ/ (phthalic), /(t)s/ (tsunami), /(ǃ)k/ (!kung), and /k(ǁ)/ (Xhosa). Others can be replaced by native clusters differing only in voice: /zb ~ sp/ (sbirro), and /zɡr ~ skr/ (sgraffito). Most (in theory, all) of the following except those that end with /s/, /z/, /ʃ/, /ʒ/, /tʃ/ or /dʒ/ can be extended with /s/ or /z/ representing the morpheme -s/-z. Similarly, most (in theory, all) of the following except those that end with /t/ or /d/ can be extended with /t/ or /d/ representing the morpheme -t/-d. ^ The pronunciation of twelfth varies and can be /twɛlfθ/ or /twɛlθ/. For some speakers, a fricative before /θ/ is elided so that these never appear phonetically: /fɪfθ/ becomes [fɪθ], /sɪksθ/ becomes [sɪkθ], /twɛlfθ/ becomes [twɛlθ]. Syllables may consist of a single vowel, meaning that onset and coda are not mandatory. The consonant /ŋ/ does not occur in syllable-initial position (most speakers do not maintain it even in loans like Ngorongoro and Nguyen). The consonant /h/ does not occur in syllable-final position. Onset clusters ending in /j/ are followed by /uː/ or its variants (see § Onset note e above). Long vowels and diphthongs are not found before /ŋ/, except for the mimetic words boing and oink, unassimilated foreign words such as Burmese aung and proper names such as Taung, and American-type pronunciations of words like strong (which have /ɔŋ/ or /ɑŋ/). The short vowels /ɛ, ʊ/ occur before /ŋ/ only in assimilated non-native words such as ginseng and Song (name of a Chinese dynasty) or non-finally in some dialects in words like strength and length as well as in varieties without the foot-strut split. /ʊ/ is rare in syllable-initial position (although in the northern half of England, [ʊ] is used for /ʌ/ and is common at the start of syllables). Stop + /w/ before /uː, ʊ, ʌ, aʊ/ (all presently or historically /u(ː)/) are excluded.[98] Sequences of /s/ + C1 + V̆ + C1, where C1 is a consonant other than /t/ and V̆ is a short vowel, are virtually nonexistent.[99] /ə/ does not occur in stressed syllables, unless it is merged with another vowel as in some varieties. /ʒ/ does not occur in word-initial position in native English words, although it can occur syllable-initially as in luxurious /lʌɡˈʒʊəriəs/ in American English, and at the start of borrowed words such as genre. /m/, /n/, /l/ and, in rhotic varieties, /r/ can be the syllable nucleus (i.e. a syllabic consonant) in an unstressed syllable following another consonant, especially /t/, /d/, /s/ or /z/. Such syllables are often analyzed phonemically as having an underlying /ə/ as the nucleus. See above under Consonants. The prosodic features of English – stress, rhythm, and intonation – can be described as follows. Prosodic stress is extra stress given to words or syllables when they appear in certain positions in an utterance, or when they receive special emphasis. According to Ladefoged's analysis (as referred to under Lexical stress § Notes above), English normally has prosodic stress on the final stressed syllable in an intonation unit. This is said to be the origin of the distinction traditionally made at the lexical level between primary and secondary stress: when a word like admiration (traditionally transcribed as something like /ˌædmɪˈreɪʃən/) is spoken in isolation, or at the end of a sentence, the syllable ra (the final stressed syllable) is pronounced with greater force than the syllable ad, although when the word is not pronounced with this final intonation there may be no difference between the levels of stress of these two syllables. Prosodic stress can shift for various pragmatic functions, such as focus or contrast. For instance, in the dialogue Is it brunch tomorrow? No, it's dinner tomorrow, the extra stress shifts from the last stressed syllable of the sentence, tomorrow, to the last stressed syllable of the emphasized word, dinner. Grammatical function words are usually prosodically unstressed, although they can acquire stress when emphasized (as in Did you find the cat? Well, I found a cat). Many English function words have distinct strong and weak pronunciations; for example, the word a in the last example is pronounced /eɪ/, while the more common unstressed a is pronounced /ə/. See Weak and strong forms in English. English is claimed to be a stress-timed language. That is, stressed syllables tend to appear with a more or less regular rhythm, while non-stressed syllables are shortened to accommodate this. For example, in the sentence One make of car is better than another, the syllables one, make, car, bett- and -noth- will be stressed and relatively long, while the other syllables will be considerably shorter. The theory of stress-timing predicts that each of the three unstressed syllables in between bett- and -noth- will be shorter than the syllable of between make and car, because three syllables must fit into the same amount of time as that available for of. However, it should not be assumed that all varieties of English are stress-timed in this way. The English spoken in the West Indies,[100] in Africa[101] and in India[102] are probably better characterized as syllable-timed, though the lack of an agreed scientific test for categorizing an accent or language as stress-timed or syllable-timed may lead one to doubt the value of such a characterization.[103] Tonality for the distribution of continuous speech into tone groups. Tonicity for the placing of the principal accent on a particular syllable of a word, making it the tonic syllable. This is the domain also referred to as prosodic stress or sentence stress. These terms ("the Three Ts") have been used in more recent work,[105][106] though they have been criticized for being difficult to remember.[107] American systems such as ToBI also identify contrasts involving boundaries between intonation phrases (Halliday's tonality), placement of pitch accent (tonicity), and choice of tone or tones associated with the pitch accent (tone). There is typically a contrast involving tone between wh-questions and yes/no questions, the former having a falling tone (e.g. "Where did you \PUT it?") and the latter a rising tone (e.g. "Are you going /OUT?"), though studies of spontaneous speech have shown frequent exceptions to this rule.[108] Tag questions asking for information are said to carry rising tones (e.g. "They are coming on Tuesday, /AREN'T they?") while those asking for confirmation have falling tone (e.g. "Your name's John, \ISN'T it."). The pronunciation system of English has undergone many changes throughout the history of the language, from the phonological system of Old English, to that of Middle English, through to that of the present day. Variation between dialects has always been significant. Former pronunciations of many words are reflected in their spellings, as English orthography has generally not kept pace with phonological changes since the Middle English period. The English consonant system has been relatively stable over time, although a number of significant changes have occurred. Examples include the loss (in most dialects) of the [ç] and [x] sounds still reflected by the ⟨gh⟩ in words like night and taught, and the splitting of voiced and voiceless allophones of fricatives into separate phonemes (such as the two different phonemes represented by ⟨th⟩). There have also been many changes in consonant clusters, mostly reductions, for instance those that produced the usual modern pronunciations of such letter combinations as ⟨wr-⟩, ⟨kn-⟩ and ⟨wh-⟩. The development of vowels has been much more complex. One of the most notable series of changes is that known as the Great Vowel Shift, which began around the late 14th century. Here the [iː] and [uː] in words like price and mouth became diphthongized, and other long vowels became higher: [eː] became [iː] (as in meet), [aː] became [eː] and later [eɪ] (as in name), [oː] became [uː] (as in goose), and [ɔː] became [oː] and later [oʊ] (in RP now [əʊ]; as in bone). These shifts are responsible for the modern pronunciations of many written vowel combinations, including those involving a silent final ⟨e⟩. Many other changes in vowels have taken place over the centuries (see the separate articles on the low back, high back and high front vowels, short A, and diphthongs). These various changes mean that many words that formerly rhymed (and may be expected to rhyme based on their spelling) no longer do.[109] For example, in Shakespeare's time, following the Great Vowel Shift, food, good and blood all had the vowel [uː], but in modern pronunciation good has been shortened to [ʊ], while blood has been shortened and lowered to [ʌ] in most accents. In other cases, words that were formerly distinct have come to be pronounced the same – examples of such mergers include meet–meat, pane–pain and toe–tow. The phonemic status of the velar nasal consonant [ŋ] is disputed; one analysis claims that the only nasal phonemes in English are /m/ and /n/, while [ŋ] is an allophone of /n/ found before velar consonants. Evidence in support of this analysis is found in accents of the north-west Midlands of England where [ŋ] is found only before /k/ or /ɡ/, with sung being pronounced as [sʌŋɡ]. However, in most other accents of English sung is pronounced [sʌŋ], producing a three-way phonemic contrast sum – sun – sung /sʌm sʌn sʌŋ/ and supporting the analysis of the phonemic status of /ŋ/. In support of treating the velar nasal as an allophone of /n/, Sapir (1925) claims on psychological grounds that [ŋ] did not form part of a series of three nasal consonants: "no naïve English-speaking person can be made to feel in his bones that it belongs to a single series with m and n. ... It still feels like ƞg."[110] More recent writers have indicated that analyses of [ŋ] as an allophone of /n/ may still have merit, even though [ŋ] may appear both with and without a following velar consonant; in such analyses, an underlying /ɡ/ that is deleted by a phonological rule would account for occurrences of [ŋ] not followed by a velar consonant.[111][112][113] Thus the phonemic representation of sing would be /sɪnɡ/ and that of singer is /sɪnɡə/; in order to reach the phonetic form [sɪŋ] and [sɪŋə], it is necessary to apply a rule that changes /n/ to [ŋ] before /k/ or /ɡ/, then a second rule that deletes /ɡ/ when it follows [ŋ]. This rule then applies to sing, singer and singing but not to anger, finger, or hunger. According to this rule, the words hangar ('shed for aircraft'), which contains no internal morpheme boundary, and hanger ('object for hanging clothes'), which comprises two morphemes, are expected to constitute a minimal pair as hangar [ˈhæŋɡə] versus hanger [ˈhæŋə]; in actuality, their pronunciations are not consistently distinguished in this manner, as hangar is frequently pronounced [ˈhæŋə]. Additionally, there are exceptions in the form of comparative and superlative forms of adjectives, where Rule 2 must be prevented from applying. The ending -ish is another possible exception. As a result, there is, in theory, a minimal pair consisting of longer ([lɒŋɡər] 'more long') and longer ([lɒŋər] 'person who longs'), though it is doubtful that native speakers make this distinction regularly.[114] Names of persons and places, and loanwords, are less predictable. Singapore may be pronounced with or without [ɡ]; bungalow usually has [ɡ]; and Inge may or may not have [ɡ].[115] It is often stated that English has a particularly large number of vowel phonemes and that there are 20 vowel phonemes in Received Pronunciation,[116] 14–16 in General American, and 20–21 in Australian English. These numbers, however, reflect just one of many possible phonological analyses. A number of "biphonemic" analyses have proposed that English has a basic set of short (sometimes called "simple" or "checked") vowels, each of which can be shown to be a phoneme and can be combined with another phoneme to form long vowels and diphthongs. One of these biphonemic analyses asserts that diphthongs and long vowels may be interpreted as comprising a short vowel linked to a consonant. The fullest exposition of this approach is found in Trager & Smith (1951), where all long vowels and diphthongs ("complex nuclei") are made up of a short vowel combined with either /j/ (for which the authors use the symbol ⟨y⟩), /w/ or /h/ (plus /r/ for rhotic accents), each thus comprising two phonemes.[117] Using this system, the word bite would be transcribed /bajt/, bout as /bawt/, bar as /bar/ and bra as /brah/. One attraction that the authors claim for this analysis is that it regularizes the distribution of the consonants /j/, /w/, and /h/ (as well as /r/ in non-rhotic accents), which would otherwise not be found in syllable-final position. Trager & Smith (1951) suggest nine simple vowel phonemes to allow them to represent all the accents of American and British English they surveyed, symbolized /i, e, æ/ (front vowels); /ᵻ, ə, a/ (central vowels); and /u, o, ɔ/ (back vowels). Some of the short vowels may also be combined with /i/ (/ei/ bay, /ai/ buy, /oi/ boy), with /u/ (/au/ bough, /ou/ beau) or with /ə/ (/iə/ peer, /eə/ pair, /uə/ poor). The vowel inventory of English RP in MacCarthy's system therefore totals only seven phonemes. Analyses such as these could also posit six vowel phonemes, if the vowel of the final syllable in comma is considered to be an unstressed allophone of that of strut. These seven vowels might be symbolized /i/, /e/, /a/, /o/, /u/, /ʌ/ and /ə/. Six or seven vowels is a figure that would put English much closer to the average number of vowel phonemes in other languages.[121] A radically different approach to the English vowel system was proposed by Chomsky and Halle. Their Sound Pattern of English (Chomsky & Halle 1968) proposed that English has lax and tense vowel phonemes, which are operated on by a complex set of phonological rules to transform underlying phonological forms into surface phonetic representations. This generative analysis is not easily comparable with conventional analyses, but the total number of vowel phonemes proposed falls well short of the figure of 20 often claimed as the number of English vowel phonemes. ^ a b Garrett, Coupland & Williams (2003), p. 73. ^ a b Celce-Murcia, Brinton & Goodwin (1996), p. 64. ^ Wyld (1936), cited in Wells (1982), p. 262. ^ a b Wells (1982), pp. 140, 147, 299. ^ Labov, Ash & Boberg (2006), pp. 13, 171–173. ^ Kiefte & Kay-Raining Bird (2010), pp. 63–64, 67. ^ Clive Upton (2004).

**Yellowstone Caldera: An Overview of the Largest Volcano in the United States** The Yellowstone Caldera, commonly referred to as the Yellowstone Supervolcano, is the largest volcanic system in the United States. Located primarily in Yellowstone National Park in the states of Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho, this supervolcano is one of the most significant and fascinating geological features in North America. The caldera was formed through a series of catastrophic eruptions that occurred over the past 2.1 million years, with the most recent major eruption happening approximately 640,000 years ago. ### Geological History and Formation The foundation of the Yellowstone Caldera's immense size and power lies in its origin. The area is underlain by a hotspot—a plume of hot mantle rising towards the earth’s surface—that has been active for at least 17 million years. As the North American plate moved westward over this stationary hotspot, successive volcanic eruptions occurred, creating a chain of volcanoes that extends from the present-day location of Yellowstone to the border of Oregon and Nevada. The caldera itself was formed by three supereruptions: The Huckleberry Ridge eruption approximately 2.1 million years ago, the Mesa Falls eruption around 1.3 million years ago, and the most recent Lava Creek eruption about 640,000 years ago. These eruptions were so massive that they led to the collapse of the ground above the emptied magma chamber, creating the depression known as a caldera. ### Geographical and Environmental Impact The Yellowstone Caldera measures about 34 by 45 miles (55 by 72 kilometers) and is an integral part of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory’s monitoring network. The caldera and its surrounding region are characterized by geothermal features such as geysers, hot springs, mud pots, and fumaroles—the most famous being Old Faithful geyser. These features are driven by the ongoing volcanic activity beneath the park surface, a vivid reminder of the supervolcano's dynamic nature. The area is also a critical habitat for a wide array of wildlife, including grizzly bears, wolves, bison, and elk. The lush forests and rivers surrounding the caldera support these species, making the ecosystem one of the most diverse and robust in the temperate zones. ### Volcanic Activity and Monitoring Despite the last major eruption occurring over half a million years ago, the Yellowstone Supervolcano is not extinct. It remains an active volcanic system, as evidenced by the frequent earthquakes, ground deformation, and thermal activity in the area. Scientists use an array of instruments, such as seismographs, GPS stations, and satellite images, to monitor the caldera for signs of increased activity that might indicate an impending eruption. ### Cultural and Historical Significance Yellowstone National Park, established in 1872 as America’s first national park, is deeply intertwined with the history of the United States. The park has been a top destination for recreation, education, and relaxation, attracting millions of visitors from around the globe annually. The grandeur of the Yellowstone Caldera plays a significant role in the park’s allure, offering breathtaking landscapes shaped by volcanic forces. ### Conclusion The Yellowstone Caldera is a geological marvel that stands as the largest volcano in the United States. Its massive scale and active nature make it a subject of continual study and fascination. As a critical component of Yellowstone National Park, the caldera not only shapes the natural environment but also enriches the cultural and historical heritage of the region. It is a poignant reminder of the powerful and ever-changing nature of Earth's geological forces.

### 대한민국의 화폐 단위: 원 대한민국의 공식 화폐 단위는 원(₩)이며, 국제 통화 코드는 KRW(한국 원)입니다. 원은 대한민국에서의 모든 상업적 거래 및 경제 활동에서 사용되는 기본적인 단위이며, 상품 및 서비스의 가치를 평가하고 거래에 사용됩니다. 원은 화폐로서의 중요한 역할을 하고 있으며, 한국은행이 발행하고 관리합니다. #### 역사와 발전 원화는 1902년 대한제국 당시에 처음 도입되었으며, 초기에는 은화와 동전 형태로 유통되었습니다. 그 후 일제 강점기를 거치면서 다양한 변화가 있었으며, 광복 이후 1945년 대한민국 정부 수립과 더불어 원화가 다시 도입되었습니다. 이후 여러 차례의 화폐 개혁을 거쳐 현재의 형태로 안정되게 사용되고 있습니다. #### 화폐 단위 대한민국의 화폐 체계에는 주로 지폐와 동전이 포함됩니다. 지폐에는 1,000원, 5,000원, 10,000원, 50,000원 등이 있으며, 동전은 10원, 50원, 100원, 500원 등이 있습니다. 각 지폐와 동전에는 한국의 유명한 인물들과 문화적 상징이 새겨져 한국의 역사와 문화를 반영하고 있습니다. #### 경제적 중요성 원화는 국내외 경제활동에서 매우 중요한 역할을 합니다. 국제 금융시장에서는 원화의 환율이 세계 경제와 직접적으로 연관되어 있으며, 수출입 거래에서도 중요한 요소로 작용합니다. 한국 경제의 성장과 더불어 원화의 안정성은 국제적으로도 높은 평가를 받고 있습니다. #### 관리 기관 원화의 발행과 관리는 한국은행의 중앙은행 역할에 의해 이루어집니다. 한국은행은 통화 정책을 통해 국내 경제의 안정을 도모하며, 인플레이션을 제어하고 경제 성장을 지원하는 역할을 합니다. 또한, 이 기관은 금융위기 시 시장 안정을 위해 중요한 역할을 수행합니다. #### 결론 대한민국에서 원화는 상품과 서비스의 가치를 평가하는 기준으로서 중심적인 역할을 하고 있습니다. 경제의 모든 분야에서 핵심적인 수단으로 사용되며, 국민의 일상생활 및 국가 경제에 있어서 필수적인 요소입니다. 원화의 안정적인 관리는 대한민국의 경제력을 유지하고 강화하는 데 크게 기여하고 있습니다.

A Verifiable Credential (VC) is a digitally-signed and thus tamper-evident document containing information on a subject (e.g. personal information, entitlements of an individual, degrees held by an individual or accreditation of a higher education institution). Quality assurance results recorded in DEQAR can be downloaded as W3C-compatible Verifiable Credentials. Currently, two types of credentials can be issued: EBSI Verifiable Accreditations (VA) can be used by a higher education institution in the context of the EBSI Early Adopters programme. - The VA allows the institution to prove its external quality assurance on the Trusted Issuer Registry (TIR). EBSI VAs are only issued for external quality assurance results with an official status in a national system (“part of obligatory EQA system”). - At present, the higher education institution’s EBSI DID needs to be communicated to EQAR and recorded in DEQAR manually at the moment. If you are a higher education institution participating in EBSI, please contact us to register your DID. - EBSI VAs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:ebsi:zk4bhCepWSYp9RhZkRPiwUL. DEQAR Format Verifiable Credentials primarily serve as a proof of concept and public demonstrator currently. - DEQAR Format VCs are based on the plain W3C Recommendation and our own data model. While they closely follow the EBSI Schema, no EBSI-specific or EU-specific elements or data types are used. - The higher education institution is identified by its DEQAR URI in this case. - DEQAR Format VCs are issued by EQAR under its DID did:web:data.deqar.eu. Please note: this is an experimental feature.

Richard Mayo: Olympic Medalist in Modern Pentathlon ### Early Life and Education Richard Mayo was born in the early 1900s in an era where the sport was not yet as popular or widely recognized as it is today. Despite the lack of widespread enthusiasm, Mayo's interest in athletics was sparked at a young age, influenced by the burgeoning sports culture of his time. He pursued his education in a manner that allowed him to focus on his athletic career, balancing academics with rigorous training schedules. ### Career in Modern Pentathlon Modern Pentathlon, a sport introduced at the Stockholm 1912 Olympics, consists of five diverse events: pistol shooting, fencing, 200m freestyle swimming, show jumping, and a 3200m cross-country run. This sport was designed to test the skills a soldier might require on the battlefield, as envisaged by the founder of the modern Olympics, Baron Pierre de Coubertin. Richard Mayo's training regimen was intense and well-rounded, steeped in the disciplines of the pentathlon. His dedication to mastering each component of the sport allowed him to excel not only nationally but also on the international stage. ### The 1932 Olympics The 1932 Summer Olympics, held in Los Angeles, United States, provided a unique platform for athletes worldwide to showcase their prowess. Mayo was among the competitors in the Modern Pentathlon. The competition was fierce, and Mayo faced athletes who were equally skilled and determined. Throughout the events, Mayo demonstrated remarkable athleticism and strategic skill, particularly distinguishing himself in fencing and the cross-country run. His performances were consistent and strong across all five events, culminating in his winning the bronze medal. ### Significance of Mayo’s Achievement Richard Mayo’s success at the 1932 Olympics was significant in several ways. It brought attention to Modern Pentathlon in his country, where the sport was relatively lesser-known compared to mainstream athletics such as track and field or swimming. His victory was not just a personal achievement but also a moment of pride for his nation, encouraging more athletes to venture into this challenging and diverse sport. This Olympic achievement was not merely a testament to Mayo's personal tenacity and skill but also highlighted the potential for further development and recognition of Modern Pentathlon back home. Following his success, there was noticeable growth in interest and participation in Modern Pentathlon, attributed largely to Mayo's Olympic success. ### Later Years and Legacy Post his Olympic feat, Richard Mayo continued to contribute to the sport, although details of his later life remain less documented compared to his sporting achievements. His legacy, however, persists as he remains a celebrated figure in the history of Modern Pentathlon in his country. Through his endeavors, Richard Mayo exemplified the Olympic spirit of excellence, respect, and friendship. His bronze medal win at the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics remains a key highlight in the annals of his nation’s sporting history, inspiring future generations of athletes to pursue their dreams with vigor and dedication. His contributions to Modern Pentathlon provide a lasting legacy, underscoring the importance of discipline, hard work, and the holistic development of skills in achieving sporting excellence.

An Act to regulate the Time and Manner of administering certain Oaths[1] was the first law passed by the United States Congress after the ratification of the U.S. Constitution. It was signed by President George Washington on June 1, 1789, and parts of it remain in effect to this day. On April 25, the committee reported its bill to the whole House, which approved it two days later. The Senate committee charged with the bill added a section requiring state officials and legislators to take the same oath as members of Congress. The Senate approved the bill with the change on May 5. The House did not object to the Senate's change, and representatives of each body took the bill to Washington for his signature. The oath in the final bill differed from the original proposal by excluding the two clauses mentioning God, as well as the phrase "a Representative of the United States in Congress thereof." The act stipulated that any senator was to administer the oath to the President of the Senate (that is, the Vice President of the United States). The Vice President then administers the oath to the Senators. In the House, a Representative administers the oath to the Speaker, who then does the same to the other members. State and other federal officials were to take the same oath, administered by someone to be authorized by a later law. Parts of the statute remain in Title 2, Sections § 21, § 22, and § 25, and Title 4, § 101 and § 102, of the United States Code.

### 한국어의 존칭법과 예의 표현 한국어는 그 사용자들의 사회적 상호작용에서 예의와 격식을 중요시하는 언어로, 이를 구현하기 위한 다양한 문법적 특징을 지니고 있습니다. 특히 한국어에서는 상대방을 존중하고 예의를 표현하기 위해 존칭어를 사용하는 것이 매우 중요한 부분을 차지하며, 이는 문화적으로도 크게 강조됩니다. #### 존칭의 사용 한국어의 존칭 시스템은 매우 복잡하며, 상대방의 나이, 지위, 사회적 관계 등 여러 요소를 고려하여 적절한 언어 선택이 요구됩니다. 존칭은 주로 동사와 형용사에 '-시-'라는 존칭 선어말 어미를 추가하여 사용합니다. 예를 들어, 기본 동사인 "하다"는 존칭 동사로 "하시다"가 되며, 이는 상대방에 대한 존경을 표현할 때 사용됩니다. 또한, 호칭과 격식을 갖춘 의사소통을 위해 명사에도 존칭이 추가될 수 있습니다. 예를 들어 '아버지'는 존칭인 '아버님'으로, '선생님'은 더욱 공식적인 자리에서는 '선생님께서' 라고 변할 수 있습니다. #### 호칭어의 사용 상대방의 이름을 직접 부르는 것은 한국에서는 일반적으로 피해야 할 행위로 여겨지며, 대신 적절한 호칭이나 직함을 사용해야 합니다. 예를 들어, 직장에서는 직위에 따라 ‘부장님’, ‘대리님’과 같이 부르며, 학교에서는 ‘선생님’이라는 호칭을 사용합니다. #### 어미의 변화 한국어는 또한 말하는 이의 높임법에 따라 문장의 끝 어미를 다양하게 변화시켜 상대방에 대한 존중과 예의를 표현합니다. 일상 대화에서는 '-요' 어미를 통해 존중의 뜻을 나타내며, 더 공식적인 자리에서는 '-ㅂ니다'의 끝맺음을 사용하여 격식을 유지합니다. #### 문화적 배경 한국에서 이러한 존칭과 예의법은 단순한 언어적 특징을 넘어 깊은 문화적 의미를 지닙니다. 상대방에 대한 존중과 예의는 한국 사회에서 매우 중요한 덕목으로, 어린 시절부터 이를 철저히 교육받습니다. 예의 바른 언어 사용은 사회적 관계의 조화와 상호 존중의 토대를 이루며, 개인이 사회에서 존중받고 성공적인 인간 관계를 구축하는 데 필수적인 요소로 간주됩니다. 결론적으로, 한국어의 존칭과 예의법은 그 언어 사용에 있어서 중심적인 역할을 하며, 한국인의 일상생활과 사회적 상호작용에 깊이 뿌리내리고 있습니다. 이는 한국어를 학습하는 이들에게도 중요한 학습 포인트이자, 한국 문화를 이해하고 경험하는 데 있어 중추적인 부분입니다.

Some conditions are caused by nutritional imbalances; others have their root cause elsewhere but can be addressed with specialized nutrition. Here, we'll take a look at enteroliths. Enteroliths are curious stony formations (think of an equine "pearl") that can block your horse’s intestinal tract and trigger signs of colic and can form when a foreign object of some kind ends up in the gastrointestinal tract. That foreign object can be as insignificant as a sliver of wood or a piece of binder twine that didn’t get sorted out from the hay... Read more here:

## Harvest Festival Songs and Cultural Significance ### Introduction Harvest festivals, celebrated worldwide, are a time of gathering crops, giving thanks, and rejoicing in the bounty provided by the agricultural efforts of the season. These festivals, deeply ingrained in various cultures, are accompanied by specific rituals, foods, and notably, music. Songs play a vital role in these celebrations, encapsulating themes of thankfulness, abundance, and communal spirit. Among the many tunes associated with these festivities, "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young and "Thanksgiving Song" by Mary Chapin Carpenter stand out as quintessential examples in Western cultures. ### The Role of Music in Harvest Festivals Music during harvest festivals serves several purposes; it is a means of expression of the cultural values associated with the time of plenty, a way to pass down traditions from generation to generation, and a vehicle for community bonding. The continuity of musical traditions helps in cementing the identity of the community and provides a sense of continuity and belonging. ### Analysis of Specific Songs #### "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young Released in 1992, Neil Young's "Harvest Moon" is an iconic song that embodies the spirit of the harvest season. The song is characterized by its gentle melodies and reflective lyrics that conjure images of dancing in the light of a full harvest moon, symbolizing the end of the growing season and the success of the harvest. Young's lyrics emphasize love and nostalgia, themes that resonate strongly during times of gathering and thanksgiving. The titular "harvest moon," which is traditionally known to assist farmers with extra light to gather their crops, serves as a metaphor for both literal and emotional nurturing. #### "Thanksgiving Song" by Mary Chapin Carpenter Mary Chapin Carpenter's "Thanksgiving Song" is a poignant ode to the themes of gratitude and familial bonds, which are central to the harvest festival ethos. Released in 2008, the song is a touching tribute to the feelings of thankfulness that are particularly expressed during Thanksgiving, a prominent harvest festival in the United States. Carpenter's tender vocal delivery and the acoustic simplicity of the arrangement encourage a reflective mood among listeners, making it a popular choice for Thanksgiving celebrations. ### Cultural Context and Variations The choice of songs during harvest festivals can vary significantly across different cultures and geographical locations. In the United Kingdom, folk songs like "John Barleycorn" are sung to celebrate the harvesting of wheat. In India, during Pongal, a harvest festival of South India, regional folk dances and songs like "Thai Pirandhal Vazhi Pirakkum" mark the festivities, reflecting gratitude to nature and celestial bodies. ### Conclusion Songs such as "Harvest Moon" by Neil Young and "Thanksgiving Song" by Mary Chapin Carpenter beautifully reflect the enduring themes of harvest festivals: gratitude, abundance, and communal celebration. These songs not only provide a backdrop for celebration but also reinforce the cultural values and collective memory of the community. Whether through the soft strums of a guitar or the harmonious chorus of a folk hymn, harvest festival songs are a vital part of commemorating the annual bounty and expressing thanks for the continuity of life and community.

### Workplace Dynamics: The Relationship Between Superiors and Subordinates In the multifaceted world of organizational behavior, the interactions between superiors and subordinates play a crucial role in shaping the workplace environment. Understanding the dynamics of these relationships provides insight into the overall health of an organization’s culture and its operational success. Below, we explore the nuances of how superiors generally treat their subordinates, emphasizing respect and professionalism—a cornerstone of modern management philosophy. #### Historical Context and Evolution Historically, workplace relationships were rigidly hierarchical, with strict divisions between management and employees. In the early 20th century, principles like Taylorism (Scientific Management) prioritized efficiency and task division with less emphasis on worker satisfaction or input. Over time, theories such as Human Relations and later, Human Resource Management, began to recognize the significance of employee morale, communication, and leadership styles in fostering productive work environments. #### Modern Management Practices In today's workplaces, the ideal standard is that superiors treat their subordinates with respect and professionalism. This shift reflects broader social changes and a deeper understanding of what drives productivity and employee satisfaction. Key components of this professional treatment include: 1. **Communication:** Open lines of communication are essential. Superiors are expected to clearly articulate expectations, provide constructive feedback, and engage in active listening. This ensures that subordinates fully understand their roles and how they contribute to the organization’s objectives. 2. **Respect:** Mutual respect is foundational. This involves recognizing the intrinsic value of each employee’s contributions regardless of their position. Respectful treatment involves fair handling of all individuals, free from discrimination or bias. 3. **Empowerment and Autonomy:** Modern management theories advocate for empowering employees by delegating authority and encouraging decision-making at lower levels. This empowerment boosts morale and fosters a sense of ownership among staff. 4. **Professional Development:** Superiors are expected to invest in the growth of their subordinates through training programs, mentorship, and career advancement opportunities. This not only enhances the skill set within the company but also contributes to job satisfaction and retention. 5. **Positive Work Environment:** Creating a supportive and inclusive atmosphere is paramount. This includes everything from physical workspace comfort to emotional support mechanisms like recognizing achievements and providing support during challenging times. #### Impact of Leadership Styles The way superiors treat subordinates can significantly vary depending on their leadership style. Leadership theories identify several styles, including autocratic, democratic, and transformational leadership, each with different implications for subordinate treatment. - **Autocratic leaders** may impose strict controls and make decisions with little input from subordinates, potentially leading to a less favorable work environment. - **Democratic leaders** tend to involve employees in decision-making, thereby promoting a more respectful and collaborative atmosphere. - **Transformational leaders** strive to inspire and motivate, focusing heavily on positive relationships and personal development of subordinates. #### Challenges and Considerations Despite the ideals, the treatment of subordinates can sometimes fall short of respect and professionalism due to personal biases, corporate culture mismatches, or external pressures such as economic downturns. Addressing these challenges often requires a reevaluation of leadership training, organizational policies, and continuous effort to cultivate an inclusive corporate culture. #### Conclusion In summary, the contemporary workplace ideally sees superiors treating their subordinates with a high degree of respect and professionalism. This approach not only enhances individual and organizational performance but also aligns with broader ethical standards and developments in management theory. The positive treatment of subordinates underpins a constructive work environment, which in turn influences overall corporate success. Maintaining this standard requires conscious effort and commitment at all levels of an organization, underscoring the importance of good leadership and sound human resource practices.

Florence Ellinwood Allen (March 23, 1884 – September 12, 1966) was a United States circuit judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit. She was the first woman to serve on a state supreme court and one of the first two women to serve as a United States federal judge. In 2005, she was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame. Allen was born on March 23, 1884, in Salt Lake City, Utah, the daughter of Clarence Emir Allen Sr., a mine manager, and later United States Representative from Utah, and his wife Corinne Marie, née Tuckerman. She was one of seven children—five girls, one of whom died in infancy, and two boys.[1] Her father was a professor and a linguist, and the family moved to Cleveland, Ohio, where he was hired by what was then called the Western Reserve University and is today called Case Western Reserve University. Young Florence grew up in Cleveland, where her father shared his love of languages with her, teaching her Greek and Latin before she was a teenager.[2] She also showed an early love of poetry, as well as a talent for music,[3] and after attending New Lyme Institute in Ashtabula, Ohio, she decided to attend Western Reserve, with music as her major.[4] Allen graduated in 1904 with a Bachelor of Arts degree,[1] and her father then sent her to Berlin, German Empire, to continue her musical studies.[5] While she was there, she worked as a correspondent for a New York magazine called the Musical Courier.[1] Her original plan was to become a concert pianist but she sustained an injury that cut her music career short.[6] She returned to Ohio in 1906 and took a job as the music critic for The Plain Dealer (Cleveland, Ohio) newspaper, a position she held till 1909.[4] By this time, she had begun showing an increasing interest in politics and law, which led her to take a Master of Arts degree in political science from Western Reserve; she completed it in 1908.[6] She also took courses in constitutional law, and would have pursued a degree, but at that time, Western Reserve's law school did not admit women. So Allen took special classes and tutorials, and became more determined to have a legal career.[1] She attended the law school at the University of Chicago for a year, and then transferred to New York University School of Law. In order to pay her tuition, she found work as a legal investigator and researcher for the New York League for the Protection of Immigrants.[2] In 1913, she got her Bachelor of Laws, graduating with honors. She returned to Cleveland and was admitted to the Ohio bar in 1914.[6] By her own admission, she was not a success at first. She only made about $25 during her first month, and all she could afford for her office was two chairs and a borrowed typewriter.[5] As she told a reporter in a 1934 interview, "I had no clients. And I had no money. But I had great hopes."[7] However, in order to become successful, what she needed was some experience, so she did volunteer work with the local Legal Aid Society of Cleveland, where she not only got that experience but got involved with an important case about suffrage.[2] As a child, her mother had taken her to see famous suffragists Susan B. Anthony and Anna Howard Shaw giving talks about women's rights.[1] And the belief that women should be treated as equals under the law undoubtedly resonated with her even more as a result of her struggles to be taken seriously as an attorney. She became even more interested in politics, and more committed to the cause of women's suffrage. She was active in the Women's Suffrage Party and began challenging local laws that limited women's participation in the political process. And she argued one particular case that went all the way to the Ohio Supreme Court: thanks to her efforts, she won the women of East Cleveland the right to vote in municipal elections.[8] During this time, she also became involved in another cause, one that would be important to her all of her life: disarmament and the quest for world peace. For Allen, this was personal: both of her brothers died while serving their country during the First World War.[7] Once she won a few cases and gained the respect of her male colleagues,[5] her career flourished. In 1919, she was appointed the assistant prosecuting attorney for Cleveland's Cuyahoga County. An active Democrat, she nevertheless encountered opposition from Democratic party chairman Burr Gongwer. However, the appointment was approved and she became the first woman in Ohio to hold such a position. She then began bringing cases before the grand jury. She also continued to advocate women's rights, even giving talks about her devotion to the Democratic party and the political process.[9] By 1920, she was elected as a Common Pleas judge, on a non-partisan ticket. She was the first woman in this position too, and during her time on the bench she tried nearly 900 cases. Undoubtedly, her biggest challenge was a case involving gangster Frank Motto, who was convicted of the murder of two men during a robbery. With women on the jury and a woman judge, legal critics wondered whether the stereotype about women being emotional, and thus lenient, would come into play, but it did not.[10] Motto was convicted, and in mid-May 1921, Allen sentenced Motto to the electric chair.[3] In 1922, Allen was elected to the Ohio Supreme Court. She immediately told reporters that she intended to keep partisan politics out of the judiciary.[4] In 1928, Allen was re-elected to a second six-year term on the Ohio Supreme Court. All of the winners in that election were Republicans except for her.[11] She continued to be a popular figure in Ohio, honored by numerous civic groups for her fair-mindedness;[12] and lawyers who came before her praised her willingness to listen.[3] And while she was not afraid to make the difficult decisions, even on death penalty cases, Allen was not just a "law and order" judge. She was also a mentor, who encouraged young women to become lawyers. She continued to give educational talks about the law, and she worked tirelessly to improve women's legal rights.[10] She was a proponent of jury service for women, at a time when many states still did not allow women to serve, and she continued to encourage women to be politically active even while remaining non-partisan herself.[3] By 1930, her reputation was so positive that some newspapers were suggesting that she be nominated for a seat on the United States Supreme Court. Among them was the Christian Science Monitor, which praised Allen for her "distinguished achievements" as a jurist.[13] A pacifist, Allen was an opponent of war and argued that the only way to avoid war was to outlaw it. War must be made outlawed and declared a crime, she said. She also called for the establishment of an international court that has jurisdiction over purely international disputes and that international law should be codified on the basis of equity and right.[14] Allen was nominated by President Franklin D. Roosevelt on March 6, 1934, to a seat on the United States Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit vacated by Judge Smith Hickenlooper.[15] She was confirmed by the United States Senate on March 15, 1934, and received her commission on March 21, 1934.[15] She was the second woman to serve in the federal judiciary and the first woman to serve as an Article III federal judge.[1] Genevieve R. Cline was earlier appointed to serve as an Article I federal judge on the United States Customs Court.[16] Her nomination to the prestigious position received widespread praise. Newspaper articles described Allen as "an able jurist" and a "profound student" of the law.[8] Allen served as Chief Judge from 1958 to 1959.[15] She was a member of the Judicial Conference of the United States in 1958.[15] She assumed senior status on October 5, 1959.[15] Her service terminated on September 12, 1966, due to her death.[15] Allen continued her ongoing advocacy of women's rights. She was a member of the National Association of Business and Professional Women, and spoke at several of their conventions,[17] and was a member of the National Association of Women Lawyers.[10] Allen continued to advocate an end to wars. In 1935, she was one of ten "outstanding American women", with Eleanor Roosevelt and feminist leader Carrie Chapman Catt, to contribute to Why Wars Must Cease. In her essay, Allen asserted that wars "unleash demoralizing instincts" such as "callousness, cynicism, and greed." She said they also contribute to numerous social problems, including the break-up of families, and increases in crime.[18] The press continued to speculate on Allen as a possible Supreme Court nominee.[19] In early 1939, when Supreme Court Justice Louis D. Brandeis was about to retire, some of Allen's supporters tried to persuade President Roosevelt that it was time to name a woman, and they reminded the president that Allen was extremely qualified. Chief among advocates on her behalf was Lillian D. Rock, former vice president of the National Association of Women Lawyers and chair of a newly created committee whose purpose was to encourage the appointment of more women to important positions in government.[20] Allen was not named to the Supreme Court, however, and it was another male judge, William O. Douglas, who replaced Justice Brandeis. For the next few years, every time a vacancy occurred, Allen's supporters would again suggest her, but to no avail.[21] On the Circuit Court, Sixth Circuit, she heard cases from Ohio, Michigan, Kentucky, and Tennessee. In 1940, she wrote This Constitution of Ours. Even after World War II broke out, Allen remained steadfast in her determination to work for peace. She continued speaking and gave talks both in person and on radio. In 1944, the National Association of Women lawyers put her name forth as someone who should be involved in international peace negotiations.[22] When the war ended, she continued to speak to civic groups, especially women's clubs. Her message was that relying on the United Nations would not prevent the next war. It was essential for individual citizens to keep demanding that each country—whether large or small—have respect for the rule of law. "To secure peace, there must be justice," she told 3,000 attendees at a conference of the National Federation of Business and Professional Women's Clubs. "There cannot be justice unless there is a rebirth of moral principle among the nations. There cannot be a rebirth of moral principle unless the conscience of the peoples becomes articulate."[23] Allen herself remained a very articulate spokeswoman on the issues she cared about. She was regarded as such a credible figure that in 1947, the American Academy of Political and Social Science asked her to do a study of women's voting patterns, to offer her assessment of whether women were in fact using the franchise, and whether they were active in the political process.[24] In later talks, Allen expressed the opinion that while many women were in fact voting and speaking out on issues, there was a generational shift taking place. The dynamic women leaders who had fought for suffrage and brought about greater participation for women in other areas of public life were now deceased, and they had not yet been replaced. She expressed concern about this lack of new and dynamic leadership, and hoped new leaders would emerge.[24] Allen's supporters again sought to have her appointed to the United States Supreme Court during Harry S. Truman's presidency, but Truman seemed to be opposed to having a woman sitting on the highest court of the land. Allen was later told that Truman's reluctance to appoint her had to do with his belief that having a woman around would make the male judges uncomfortable. "They say they couldn't sit around with their robes off and their feet up and discuss the problems."[25] Truman's reluctance to appoint a woman extended to other venues. When there were more than 20 Federal court vacancies, his original list of nominees was all male; only after some influential women politicians protested, the president named one woman, Burnita Shelton Matthews, to the bench of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia in 1949.[26] After her retirement, she continued to do speaking engagements and began working on her autobiography. It was called To Do Justly, and was published in the autumn of 1965.[1] In declining health after falling and breaking her hip, Allen died on September 12, 1966, in Waite Hill, Ohio, where she had been living with a distant cousin since her retirement.[citation needed] In 2005, Allen was inducted into the National Women's Hall of Fame.[27] ^ a b c d e f g "Florence E.
