Terry Fox's leg got caught off because he had bone cancer and if they dint cut it off the cancer would spread from his right leg to his whole body.
Serbian nationalism had a strong impact on tensions in Europe prior to World War I in a variety of ways. The most dramatic was the negative influence that it had on stability in the Austro-Hungarian Empire; in particular, it led indirectly to the assassination of the Archduke Ferdinand, which was the match-point that ignited the war.
Francois-Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture led the revolt for the independence of Haiti.

The length of the legs. The positive leg is always longer than the negative one.
because the negative leg is shorter.
On an LED, one leg will be shorter than the other. The shorter leg is the negative polarity.
To determine the negative leg of a LED, you can look for the longer lead (anode), which is typically the positive leg, while the shorter lead (cathode) is the negative leg. Additionally, the flat edge on the LED's body usually indicates the cathode side, further confirming which leg is negative.
The side of any diode that must be negative in order for the diode to conduct is the "cathode".
A shorter LED leg typically indicates the cathode, which is the negative side of the LED, while the longer leg represents the anode, or positive side. This design makes it easier to identify the correct polarity for proper circuit connections. Connecting the LED incorrectly can prevent it from lighting up or may damage the component.
Current flows from the anode (positive terminal) to the cathode (negative terminal) in a LED. The longer leg of the LED indicates the positive anode side, while the shorter leg represents the negative cathode side.
Current will only flow one way through an LED, so it has a positive leg and a negative leg. One of them is longer to signify which is which (longer is negative). The negative side also has a chamfered edge on the LED itself.
Cathode (negative) is the shortest leg and there is a flat edge on the base of the LED, and it must be connected to the negative wire or "-" connection. Anode (positive) is the longest leg, and must be connected to the positive wire or "+" connection, as electricity will only pass through a LED from positive to negative.
Look at the size of the 'flags' inside the LED lens itself. The bigger one is the positive one. Don't ask me about a bi/tri colour LED, maybe with a capacitor.
The long leg of the LED is the Anode. Connecting the Anode to the negative end of the dry cell would bias the LED off. It would not illuminate. It may also destroy LED.
Anode and cathode. Anode = negative lead, cathode = positive lead.
