Confuciusornis is a genus of primitive crow-sized birds from the Early Cretaceous Period of the Yixian and Jiufotang Formations of China, dating from 125 to 120 million years ago.
The present scientific consensus is that birds are a group of theropod dinosaurs that originated during the Mesozoic Era. A close relationship between birds and dinosaurs was first proposed in the nineteenth century after the discovery of the primitive bird Archaeopteryx in Germany.
Birds are descended from early dinosaurs, so your basic chicken is pretty darn close. The closest living relatives of dinosaurs are crocodilians, which includes crocodiles and alligators. Both dinosaurs and crocodilians belong to a larger group called archosaurs.

Flag football is a version of American football where the basic rules of the game are similar to those of the mainstream game (often called “tackle football” for contrast), but instead of tackling players to the ground, the defensive team must remove a flag or flag belt from the ball carrier (“deflagging”) to end a down, and contact is not permitted between players; it will result in a penalty for the team that initiates it.

A potentiometer is a three-terminal resistor with a sliding or rotating contact that forms an adjustable voltage divider. If only two terminals are used, one end and the wiper, it acts as a variable resistor or rheostat.
A clinostat is a device which uses rotation to negate the effects of gravitational pull on plant growth and development. It has also been used to study the effects of microgravity on cell cultures and animal embryos.
Uses: reduces the effect of gravity on organisms, chiefly used with plants
A single axis (or horizontal) clinostat consists of a disc attached to a motor. They were originally clockwork but nowadays an electric motor is used. The disc is held vertically and the motor rotates it slowly at rates in the order of one revolution per minute. A plant is attached to the disc so that it is held horizontally. The slow rotation means that the plant experiences a gravitational pull that is averaged over 360 degrees, thus approximating a weightless environment.

SEAN ASTIN
Patty Duke (mother); Michael Tell (biological father); John Astin (adoptive father). Relatives, Mackenzie Astin (half-brother).
Sean Astin has been acting since the mid ’80s, when he made his film debut in Steven Spielberg’s adventure-comedy The Goonies at the age of 13. He has since had a large variety of successful roles including football rookie Rudy Ruettiger in the 1993 sports-drama Rudy and more recently Bob Newby in the hit Netflix fantasy-horror Stranger Things.
He is probably most recognized for his iconic portrayal as hobbit Samwise Gamgee in The Lord of the Rings trilogy.
When Sean’s mother, the late Academy Award-winning actress Patty Duke, gave birth to her son on February 25, 1971 – it was all over the tabloids. The reason for this was not only because Duke was a famous movie star who had just had a baby, but because no one knew who the father was.
The first potential father to Duke’s baby was Desi Arnaz Jr., the very famous son to the even more famous parents Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz of classic ’50s sitcom I Love Lucy. Sean’s mother, who was 23 at the time of his birth, had a highly publicized fling with Arnaz Jr. who was only 17.
There was another man and potential father to baby Sean. One day, a man named Michael Tell – a music promoter and publisher of the newspaper The Las Vegas Israelite – came to sublet Duke’s apartment. He also offered to marry her as a way to distract the press from the scandal that had erupted between her and Arnaz Jr. Even though Tell was a complete stranger, Duke agreed. Although Sean’s mom and Tell were only married for 13 days before getting annulled in 1970, about a year before he was born – many people wondered if Tell could have been the real father to Duke’s baby.
About a year after Sean’s birth, Duke came out to the press and announced that she had had an affair with The Addams Family star John Astin, and that he was her son’s true father. Astin was still married to his wife Suzanne Hahn at the time of their fling. Sean’s mother explained that she and Astin wanted to wait until his divorce was finalized to break the news. On August 5, 1972, Duke and Astin were wed. During the wedding, one-and-a-half-year-old Sean looked up at Astin and cried, “Daddy!”

Prenatal care in the US is automatically included in Medicaid, you don’t even need to enroll. Most women want to take care of the baby unless they are incapable. And for women who have irregular periods and don’t realize when they’re pregnant, when they finally do realize they’re pregnant (often at around seven months) they get prenatal care. For this woman to have gone nine months without any prenatal care whatsoever is very very very strange. It sounds as if the person might have major mental illness in addition to her gender issues.
