A. Buddhism
Explanation:
Buddhist and Shintô influences and a generally higher level of wealth brought about the popularization of drama during Japan's middle ages (1300-1700). Like all drama, the first music and acting were ceremonies celebrating the divine, performed in the natural environment.
Answer:
d. dependent variable
Explanation:
In research, the independent variable is the variable that can be manipulated by the researchers and which will have an effect on another variable that is called the dependent variable. (Therefore, the variable in which the affect is perceived is called the dependent variable).
The researchers don't really have control over the dependent variable but it is the one that it's being tested and see how it responds to the independent variable.
In this example, the researchers want to see if depression has an effect on the negative emotions being remembered. We can see that they want to see if depression will have this effect. Therefore, since <u>depression might affect </u>the remembering of negative emotions, the negative emotions would be the dependent variable.
Answer:
Elias Howe Jr. was an American inventor best known for his creation of the modern lockstitch sewing machine. This invetion was in 1846. The very first lockstitch sewing machine in the world. His invention helped the mass production of sewing machines and clothing. That in turn revolutionized the sewing industry and freed women from some of the drudgery of daily life at the time. Contrary to popular belief, Howe was not the first to conceive of the idea of a sewing machine. Many other people formulated the idea of such a machine before him, one as early as 1790, and some had even patented their designs and produced working machines, in one case, at least 80 of them.
It was Howe, however, who came up with significant refinements to the design concepts of his predecessors, and on September 10, 1846, he was awarded the first U.S. Patent (4,750) for a sewing machine using a lockstitch design. His machine contained the three essential features common in most modern machines: a needle with the eye at the point; a shuttle operating beneath the cloth to form the lock stitch; and an automatic feed.
Howe's design demonstrated the novel idea of a needle that carried the thread forward, through a piece of material, where another thread, held in a metal shuttle, passed through a loop in the middle thread (caused by the needle moving forward then suddenly backward). The needle was then retracted and this action pulled the two threads to lock them in the fabric. This is how the lockstitch was born.
The sewing machine is easier to use and also you can repair worn, torn or unused clothes by yourself. You can re-design your old clothing. You can even become a fashion trend-setter by making clothes in your own style. Having a sewing machine will save you from going to a tailor, thus helping you to save money.
hope this helps!! :)

This depends a great deal on what you mean by efficiency.
If you define efficiency as the ability to get its way, the most efficient form of government is totalitarianism. A totalitarian regime can decide what it wants very quickly. This is in contrast to a democracy like our own. Right now, we have serious troubles with our system of Medicare, for example, and with our government debt. The problem is that we cannot do anything about it because our political parties do not agree on what to do. In a totalitarian system this problem does not arise. The government simply decides what to do on its own without having to worry about what the people want or what they think. This is efficient in one sense of the word.
However, if you define efficient as being able to last a long time, a democracy is most efficient. In a democracy, the people feel connected to the government. They feel that the government represents them and generally has their best interests in mind. Therefore, they are not likely to radically rebel against the government and the government will tend to remain fairly stable over time. In this sense of efficiency, democracies are most efficient.
