The episode "An Owl in a Thornbush" is set during what time period?
1st century BC
An Owl in a Thornbush
"An Owl in a Thornbush" is the third episode of the first season of the television series "Rome".
Rome (TV series)
Rome is a British-American-Italian historical drama television series created by John Milius, William J. MacDonald, and Bruno Heller.
 The show's two seasons were broadcast on HBO, BBC Two, and RaiDue between 2005 and 2007.
 They were later released on DVD and Blu-ray.
 "Rome" is set in the 1st century BC, during Ancient Rome's transition from Republic to Empire.
Common practice period
In the history of European art music, the term "common practice period" refers to the era between the formation and the dissolution of the tonal system.
 Though there are no exact dates for this phenomenon, most features of the common-practice period persisted from the mid to late baroque period, through the Classical and Romantic periods, or roughly from around 1650 to 1900.
 While certain prevailing patterns and conventions characterize the music of this period, the time period also saw considerable stylistic evolution.
 Some conventions evolved during this period that were rarely employed at other times during what may still be labeled "common practice" (for example, Sonata Form).
 Thus, the dates 1650–1900 are necessarily nebulous and arbitrary borders that depend on context.
 The most important unifying feature through this time period concerns a harmonic language to which modern music theorists can apply Roman numeral analysis. List of Florida hurricanes (1950–74)
The list of Florida hurricanes from 1950 to 1974 encompasses 85 Atlantic tropical or subtropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of Florida.
 Collectively, tropical cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in about $7.04 billion (2017 USD) in damage, primarily from Hurricanes Donna and Dora.
 Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were directly responsible for 93 fatalities during the period, as well as responsible for 23 indirect deaths.
 Several tropical cyclones produced over 20 inches (500 mm) of rainfall in the state, including Hurricane Easy which is the highest total during the time period.
 The 1969 season was the year with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state, with a total of 8 systems.
 The 1954 and 1967 seasons were the only years during the time period in which a storm did not affect the state. List of Florida hurricanes (1900–49)
The list of Florida hurricanes from 1900 to 1949 encompasses 108 Atlantic tropical cyclones that affected the U.S. state of Florida.
 Collectively, tropical cyclones in Florida during the time period resulted in about $4 billion (2008 USD) in damage.
 Additionally, tropical cyclones in Florida were directly responsible for about 3,550 fatalities during the time period, most of which from the 1928 Okeechobee Hurricane.
 The 1947 season was the year with the most tropical cyclones affecting the state, with a total of 6 systems.
 The 1905, 1908, 1913, 1927, 1931, 1942, and 1943 seasons were the only years during the time period in which a storm did not affect the Floridian coasts. Population change
Human population change is the difference between the size of the population from the beginning to the end of a certain time period.
 In other words, population change refers to change in the number of people during a specific time period.
 As a whole,the world population has not been stable; it has increased manifold.
 Due to this constant changing population, the subject of demographics, the statistics of how many people there are in a given population, was created.
 Demography can also be defined as the study of populations, and the factors that cause the most amount of population growth or decline.
 The main measurements of demography include: birth rates, death rates, sex ratios, life expectancy, and migration rates.
 All of these measures are found by a series of surveys and censuses conducted over a time period in order to compare how the population is changing.
 Other ways to measure population demographics include the use of historical maps, aerial photographs, and census statistics.
 One of the reasons why demographers use statistics about population change is because of the social and demographic transformations that the world experiences; significant challenges for the government and businesses will take effect depending on the degree of the population change. Integrating ADC
An integrating ADC is a type of analog-to-digital converter that converts an unknown input voltage into a digital representation through the use of an integrator.
 In its basic implementation, the dual-slope converter, the unknown input voltage is applied to the input of the integrator and allowed to ramp for a fixed time period (the run-up period).
 Then a known reference voltage of opposite polarity is applied to the integrator and is allowed to ramp until the integrator output returns to zero (the run-down period).
 The input voltage is computed as a function of the reference voltage, the constant run-up time period, and the measured run-down time period.
 The run-down time measurement is usually made in units of the converter's clock, so longer integration times allow for higher resolutions.
 Likewise, the speed of the converter can be improved by sacrificing resolution. Temporal mean
The temporal mean is the arithmetic mean of a series of values over a time period.
 Assuming equidistant measuring or sampling times, it can be computed as the sum of the values over a period divided by the number of values.
 A simple moving average can be considered to be a sequence of temporal means over periods of equal duration.
 (If the time variable is continuous, the average value during the time period is the integral over the period divided by the length of the duration of the period.) Telescoping effect
In cognitive psychology, the telescoping effect (or telescoping bias) refers to the temporal displacement of an event whereby people perceive recent events as being more remote than they are and distant events as being more recent than they are.
 The former is known as backward telescoping or time expansion, and the latter as is known as forward telescoping.
 Three years is approximately the time frame in which events switch from being displaced backward in time to forward in time, with events occurring three years in the past being equally likely to be reported with forward telescoping bias as with backward telescoping bias.
 Although telescoping occurs in both the forward and backward directions, in general the effect is to increase the number of events reported too recently.
 This net effect in the forward direction is because of forces that impair memory, such as lack of salience, also impair time perception.
 Telescoping leads to an over reporting of the frequency of events.
 This over reporting is because participants include events beyond the period, either events that are too recent for the target time period (backward telescoping) or events that are too old for the target time period (forward telescoping). Ice Age (Magic: The Gathering)
Ice Age is a block of three sets in "", consisting of the Ice Age, Alliances and Coldsnap sets.
 It is also the titular first set in the block.
 The Ice Age set is the eleventh set and the sixth expansion set, released in June 1995.
 Set in the years from 450 to 2934 , the set describes a world set in perpetual winter due to the events in "".
 Ice Age was followed up June 1996 with Alliances, the fourteenth "Magic: The Gathering" set and eighth expansion set.; and on July 21, 2006 with "Coldsnap".
 The time period between "Alliances" and "Coldsnap" was the longest period of time between the beginning and the completion of a full block in Magic.
 Originally, the set "", released in October 1995, was the second set in the "Ice Age" block (with "Alliances" being the third set), but following the release of "Coldsnap", "Homelands" was removed from the block in favor of "Coldsnap".
