Scientific theories are also distinguished from hypotheses, which are individual empirically testable conjectures, and scientific laws, which are descriptive accounts of how nature will behave under certain conditions
37. Since Android devices are usually battery-powered, Android is designed to manage memory to keep power consumption at a minimum, in contrast to desktop operating systems which generally assume they are connected to unlimited mains electricity. When an Android app is no longer in use, the system will automatically suspend it in memory - while the app is still technically "open, " suspended apps consume no resources ( e.g. battery power or processing power ) and sit idly in the background until needed again. This has the dual benefit of increasing the general responsiveness of Android devices, since apps don ' t need to be closed and reopened from scratch each time, but also ensuring background apps don ' t waste power needlessly
38. Viking Age Scandinavian settlements were set up along the southern coast of the Baltic Sea, primarily for trade purposes. Their appearance coincides with the settlement and consolidation of the Slavic tribes in the respective areas.

Their importance for trade with the Slavic world however was limited to the coastal regions and their hinterlands

Clarke, and has thus far released 19 soundtracks to science-fiction novels or short stories. All of them are available for free download

However, common cultural norms meant that it was normally the person with the highest status and the greatest authority who led the rituals.

47. The Three Caballeros received mixed reviews when it was released. Most critics were relatively perplexed by the "technological razzle-dazzle" of the film, thinking that, in contrast to the previous feature films up to this time, "it displayed more flash than substance, more technique than artistry." Bosley Crowther for one wrote in The New York Times, "Dizzy Disney and his playmates have let their technical talents run wild." Other reviewers were taken aback by the sexual dynamics of the film, particularly the idea of Donald Duck lusting towards flesh-and-blood women. As The New Yorker put it in a review of the film, such a concept "is one of those things that might disconcert less squeamish authorities than the Hays office. It might even be said that a sequence involving the duck, the young lady, and a long alley of animated cactus plants would probably be considered suggestive in a less innocent medium."
48. According to Snorri Sturluson in the Prose Edda, Forseti is the son of Baldr and Nanna. His home is Glitnir, its name, meaning "shining, " referring to its silver ceiling and golden pillars, which radiated light that could be seen from a great distance. His is the best of courts; all those who come before him leave reconciled. This suggests skill in mediation and is in contrast to his fellow god Týr, who "is not called a reconciler of men." However, as de Vries points out, the only basis for associating Forseti with justice seems to have been his name; there is no corroborating evidence in Norse mythology. ' Puts to sleep all suits ' or'stills all strifes ' may have been a late addition to the strophe Snorri cites, from which he derives the information
