What is the name of the futuristic nation in the 2012 film ‘The Hunger Games’?

Review: The Hunger Games | dfuse.in Review: The Hunger Games March 25, 2012 Set in the futuristic North American nation of Panem, The Hunger Games is based on the 2008 best-selling novel of the same name by Suzanne Collins. The plot is fairly simple. Out of 12 poverty-stricken districts, one girl and one boy between the age of 12 and 16 are selected to represent their district in a reality show of sorts where everyone goes on a killing spree, and ultimately there is only one victor, who is showered with wealth and respect. The game is televised for all the viewers, and can be manipulated to any extent by the creators. The people believe that the hunger games are the only way that they can “remember their past and safeguard their future.” It acts as a reminder to them that their freedom had been obtained with a heavy cost. The participants are transferred to the Capitol, where they are trained in the art of survival and warfare before they enter the arena to fight it out. Katniss Everdeen, (Jennifer Laerence), volunteers for her district when her sister’s name is picked in the lots. Along with her partner Peeta, she goes on to represent District 12 at the 74th Edition of ‘The Hunger Games’. The film raises several issues like poverty and inequality, but the one that it manages to showcase very well is the control of the state over individuals. Everyone’s acting cannot be termed as ‘phenomenal’, but Jennifer Lawrence and Stanley Tucci, who plays the television host for ‘The Hunger Games’ deserve a round of applause for keeping the audience captivated throughout the movie. Woody Harrelson as Haymitch, a former winner of this show, backs them up well. What stands out in the movie is the exceptional usage of both audio (especially the mockingjays and the soundtrack for death) and visual effects. It ensures that the movie does not stagnate at any point of time and keeps the suspense on a continuous rise. Some brilliant still photography by Murray Close adds to its brilliance. Every frame has been composed beautifully, thereby making this movie a visual treat. Though the movie constantly reminded me of ‘The Triwizard Tournament’ from Harry Potter and The Goblet of Fire, some of the characters look as if they have popped out of Tim Burton’s imagination. It manages to remain extremely fast-paced and give the viewer an adrenaline rush within every few minutes. The Hunger Games stands out to be a good story which has been executed brilliantly. Watch it – it definitely an investment worth making. http://www.facebook.com/theofficialfalah Falah St Jimmy Faisal mediocre film, bad review

Who was the only British Prime Minister to hold office during the reigns of three British monarchs?

British Monarchs And Their Prime Ministers - British Monarchy Family History British Monarchy Family History British Monarchs And Their Prime Ministers 10, DOWNING STREET                                                                    The five major political parties of the United Kingdom are the Liberal Democrats, the Conservatives, the Labour Party, the Green Party and the United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP).     The Liberal Democrats - who were originally founded in 1678 under the name of the Whig Party. During their history they have also been known as the Peelite Party, the Radicals and the Liberal Party. They have a classic liberalism and social liberalism ideology.     The Conservative Party - also known as the Tories, which is a centre right party with a conservatism and strong British unity ideology, whose movement was founded in 1834.   The Labour Party - which is a centre left party with a socialist ideology, whose movement was founded in 1900.     The Green Party - which is a centre left party with a strong environmentalist and eco-socialism ideology, which was founded in 1990.     The United Kingdom Independence Party (UKIP) - which is a far right party with an anti-federalist and right wing populism ideology, whose movement was founded in 1993.      Major regional nationalist parties around the United Kingdom include;    The Ulster Unionist Party - which was formed in 1905, and The Democratic Ulster Unionist Party, formed in 1971, both of which are the two main political parties within Northern Ireland.      Plaid Cymru - which was formed in 1925 and is a social democratic party striving for nationalism and independence in Wales.   The Scottish Nationalist Party - which was formed in 1934, which is a social democratic party striving for nationalism and independence in Scotland.       U.K STAMPS ISSUED ON THE 14th OF OCTOBER 2014  DEPICTING EIGHT FORMER PRIME MINISTERS                                                                                The position of British Prime Minister was never created, but evolved over a number of years. Because of this modern historians have given the title of first British Prime Minister to that of Sir Robert Walpole, who ran King George I's government from 1721 - 1742, making his twenty one year tenure the longest of any British prime minister.  As Great Britain is a monarchy, both the government and monarchy were originally run as a single entity, with the highest ministerial position, that of the Lord of the Treasurer.     After every British election, the leader of the winning party is invited to form a government by the serving monarch.     As a serving prime minister, the man or woman who holds this title is the only person in the United Kingdom who is allowed to sit in both the House of Commons and the House of Lords.  The prime minister is a commoner, therefore he or she is eligible to sit in the House of Commons, but the Lord of the Treasurer, which is one of the automatic titles of the prime minister, is a lord, thus enabling him or her to sit in the House of Lords. Even the monarch is denied this privilege, as two of the monarch's titles are Lord of Man and Lord High Admiral of the British Navy, thus only enabling him or her entry into the House of Lords.  At the end of a prime minister's tenure, it is customary for the monarch to award the outgoing prime minister with the Most Noble Order of the Garter, or in the case of a Scots born prime minister the Most Ancient & Noble Order of the Thistle, although Scottish born former prime ministers Gordon Brown and Tony Blair are not members of the order due to Brown declining the honour and Blair being disinherited due to public opinion over the Iraq war.      Every outgoing prime minister is granted a life peerage, thus allowing them automatic elevation into the House of Lords.  Ten Downing Street was built between 1682 - 1684 by property investor Sir George Downing.

Catherine Hogarth was the wife of which British novelist?

Catherine Dickens finds a 21st century ally in Lillian Nayder | Bates Magazine | Bates College A memorial page for Bates community members Catherine Dickens finds a 21st century ally in Lillian Nayder After 22 years of marriage and 10 children, Charles Dickens famously dumped his wife, Catherine Dickens, in 1858. Wielding the power of his pen, he alleged that Catherine was mentally unbalanced and an unfit wife and mother; in truth, he wanted to take up with a younger woman, actress Ellen Ternan. For years, critics and biographers took his word for it. Now, Professor of English Lillian Nayder has debunked the novelist’s unkind portrayal of his wife with her 2010 biography, The Other Dickens: A Life of Catherine Hogarth. Professor of English Lillian Nayder, photographed by Phyllis Graber Jensen. How did you get interested in Catherine Dickens? It was curious to me that Catherine was always dismissed by critics, while Dickens’ side of the story was always accepted — even though there was plenty of evidence to suggest that he had fabricated tales about his wife. Critics just didn’t want to go there. Charles Dickens has shaped the language of her story — and he told a lot of lies about her. Such as? He wrote a letter that made its way into the New York Tribune, the so-called “Violated Letter,” in which he said that the “peculiarity of her character” had “thrown all the children” onto the care of Catherine’s sister Georgina, the Dickens family housekeeper. Untrue. It’s a complicated family plot. Catherine’s sisters — Mary and Georgina — have always been portrayed as taking his side. Dickens’ various claims to and about them have cheapened and obscured the relationships among all the sisters. After the 1858 separation, Georgina chose to stay in Charles Dickens’ household, so that’s always been a particularly gnarly issue. There was a third sister, Helen — Catherine’s close friend and ally — but she’s been ignored until now. Why did Charles Dickens treat his wife that way? He had some real explaining to do if he was going to force his wife out of the house. But he couldn’t admit publicly that it was because he was interested in a young woman the same age as one of his daughters. Divorce wasn’t an option because one had to show that adultery had been committed by the husband or the wife. Dickens didn’t want to go there. He was the novelist of hearth and home. You looked at the couple’s sex life, too. By knowing the time intervals between a woman’s deliveries and conceptions, we can use mathematical models to determine the sexual activity of a couple that isn’t using contraception. Critics have always claimed that Dickens, by 1850, had lost interest in his wife, but their sex life was as active in the early 1850s as it was in the early 1840s. To give you one example, the 310-day interval between Catherine’s eighth delivery and her next conception in 1849 is about the same as the interval after her second delivery in 1838 and suggests four acts of intercourse per month. What did you interpret from Charles’ practicing mesmerism, what we call hypnotism today? He did mesmerize Catherine — initially in Pittsburgh during the 1842 American tour — but it didn’t have any therapeutic rationale because Catherine wasn’t ailing. I think he wanted to demonstrate that he could, in fact, control the very consciousness of his wife. In a similar way, Dickens has mesmerized generations of biographers. He’s a very powerful influence, and I’m trying to resist that. So when Catherine wrote a cookbook, later critics dismissed it as bad food from an unstable fat woman? The book mostly offers meal plans, or bills of fare, and Dickens biographers have used it against her, as more evidence of why the marriage “didn’t work out.” Her husband was seen as light and mercurial, and she was seen as this burdensome body weighing him down with macaroni and cheese. Modern critics looking at Victorian meals are bound to be put off. The dishes have heft — fricassee chicken, fried potatoes, marrow pudding, macaroni and cheese, a lot of bacon, and Italian cream — but peo


Former Dutch Guiana is now known by what name?

BBC News - Suriname country profile Printable version Suriname country profile Suriname, once known as Dutch Guiana, is one of South America's smallest countries. It enjoys a relatively high standard of living but also faces serious political and economic challenges. Since independence from the Netherlands in 1975 Suriname has endured coups and a civil war. Former military strongman Desi Bouterse dominated politics for much of the post-independence era, but the country is now under civilian rule. Overview Media Suriname is one of the most ethnically diverse countries in the Americas. Most of its people are descended from African slaves and Indian and Indonesian indentured servants brought over by the Dutch to work as agricultural labourers. However, there is little assimilation between the different ethnic groups, which confine their contacts to the economic sphere. Similarly, most political parties are ethnically based. This acts as an obstacle to consensus-building. Suriname has potential for tourism, boasting rainforests, abundant wildlife and colonial architecture in the capital. But the sector is undeveloped, hampered by the inaccessibility of the interior and the lack of infrastructure. So, Suriname depends heavily on mining and processing its declining reserves of bauxite and is vulnerable to falls in commodity prices. Suriname and neighbouring Guyana have been engaged in a long-running territorial dispute over a potentially oil-rich offshore area. A UN tribunal settled the issue in 2007, redrawing the maritime border and giving both countries access to the basin. The ruling is expected to bring a surge of exploration by major oil companies. The issue flared up in 2000 when Surinamese patrol boats evicted a Canadian-owned rig from a concession awarded by Guyana. Facts Media President: Desire "Desi" Bouterse The former military leader of Suriname in the 1980s and early 1990s, Desi Bouterse won enough parliamentary support in July 2010 to be elected president. Desi Bouterse first led Suriname following a coup in 1980 This followed his Mega Combination coalition's winning 23 out of the 51 seats in parliament in May, thereby becoming the largest single party. He won the presidency with the help of two smaller parties after weeks of strenuous efforts by the opposition to stop him. Mr Bouterse's election campaign concentrated on winning over poorer voters who felt let down by the previous government's economic austerity programme. Mr Bouterse is a controversial figure. In 2007, he was put on trial for allegedly ordering the killing of 15 political opponents as military ruler in 1982. But the slow-moving case was put on hold when parliament passed a law giving Mr Bouterse and his 24 co-defendants blanket immunity for human rights violations committed during military rule. The amnesty law provoked outrage among his opponents, while former colonial power the Netherlands recalled its ambassador and froze aid in protest. In 1999, the Netherlands convicted Mr Bouterse in absentia of drug-trafficking in 1999. He denied all charges in the case. As head of state he is immune from prosecution abroad. Media

In Greek mythology, Actaeon was changed into a stag by who when he saw her bathing, and was then killed by his own dogs?

Actaeon - Greek Mythology Link About • Copyright © 1997 Carlos Parada and Maicar Förlag. Actaeon advanced Actaeon, having surprised Artemis and her train of nymphs in the bath, is turned into a stag. 3320: German work from the 17th century AD. Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe, Hamburg. Actaeon is the hunter who was torn to pieces by his own dogs after having been turned into a stag by Artemis , whom he had seen unrobed. Misfortune Actaeon’s own death is what made him famous, for there are almost no accounts of his life, except that he was trained by the Centaur Chiron to be a hunter. And, they say, it was not any crime of his the cause of his death, but mere mischance. For not knowing anything about the secret cave of Artemis in the vale of Gargaphia, Actaeon came wandering with his dogs after a day of hunt, and entered the cave when the goddess of the wild woods was preparing to bathe in the waters of the spring Parthenius together with the nymphs who attended her. Artemis uses water instead of arrows When Actaeon came into the cave, the girls, with loud cries, thronged around Artemis trying to hide her body with their own. But Artemis , standing head and shoulders over the rest, took up the water and flung it into Actaeon’s face saying: “Now you are free to tell that you have seen me all unrobedif you can tell.” ( Artemis to Actaeon. Ovid, Metamorphoses 3.192). So soon the goddess had uttered those words, Actaeon began to turn into a stag, much as the Cretan Siproites had his sex changed by Artemis when he saw the goddes bathing. And when the transformation was completed, the goddess planted fear within his heart, and the stag Actaeon fled away. His dogs then went after him, pursuing him in all grounds around Mount Cithaeronbetween Boeotia and Atticaand having finally caught him, the dogs buried their fangs in his body until there was no place for further wounds, thus causing his death. That was the misfortune of Actaeon. For not knowing what he did, he came to be punished and suffered to be hunted, just as he had hunted. Because of this deed, some deemed Artemis to be more cruel, but others judged her act worthy of her virginity. Arrogance Yet it has also been told that Actaeon presented himself as superior to Artemis as a hunter, being his boast the reason behind his unfortunate fate. And again, others say that Actaeon came into the cave, and tried to ravish the goddess who, in her anger, made horns grow on his head, turning him into a stag. Still others say that Actaeon, upon dedicating the fruits of his hunting to Artemis , purposed to marry her at the temple of the goddess. Yet others affirm that what happened to Actaeon was conceived by Zeus because Actaeon loved Semele , the mother of Dionysus 2 . Artemis then cast a deer-skin round Actaeon to make sure that his dogs would kill him, so as to prevent him to marry Semele . Grief In any case, when Actaeon was gone, the dogs are said to have sought their master, howling in grief. Searching for him, it is told, they came to the cave of the Centaur Chiron , who made an image of the unfortunate Actaeon to soothe their grief. The death of Actaeon was much lamented by his parents. His father Aristaeus migrated to Sardinia, and Actaeon’s mother Autonoe 2 is said to have left Thebes to live near Megara , because of her grief at the death of her son. A similar case Far away from where Actaeon was killed, Thasius, son of Anius, son of Apollo and Rhoeo, was also reported to have been destroyed by his own dogs in the island of Delos. The death of this prince (Anius was a king) is the reason why there are no dogs on Delos. Family


African Serval Cats - Valley Stable & Exotics African Serval Cats Serval Cat (Felis serval)or(Leptailarus serval) Family Order: Felidae Carnivora Local names: Mondo (Kiswahili), Emmondo (Luganda and many other languages), Monzo (Kirabai), Engalirao (Lukonjo), Orumberembere (Lugbara), Munjuli (Kinyiha), rndama mweli (Luhya), Lutuku (Lugisu), Kurrbalit (Sebel), Kworo (Lwo), Bisdinaad (Somali) Measurements head and body: 67 – 100 cm height: 54 – 62 cm weight: 13 (10 – 18) kg males 11 (8.7 – 12.5) kg females Color– Spotted patterns of brown, tan, and black (Miniature Cheetah) Weight– 18 LB. TO 44 LB. Height– Average of 24 inches at shoulders; long slender legs and body Life Span– Approx. 20 years Disposition– Curious, adaptable, playful through out their entire life. They bond closely as kittens for a life long relationship with their owners. Each individual cat has it’s own distinct personality. Housing– Your home is all that is necessary for a single Serval kept as a house cat but an additional outside enclosure is nice for the feline. The Serval can be litter trained just as the common domestic house cat. Some Servals sleep with their owners and for some this is fun and enjoyable however, a thirty pound cat on a three A.M. hunting excursion through your bedroom can be a memorable experience! Feed Requirements– We recommend Zu-Preem brand feline diet, which is specifically designed for non-domestic felidae, as the sole source of feed and nourishment for the Serval. Occasionally, some of the Hills Science Feline-CD Diet is a good idea because its hard dry texture is beneficial to the Servals dental health. This is a good preventative measure as you will find most dentists reluctant to treat these fuzzy friendly felines!! The average adult Serval will consume approx. $25.00 dollars worth of Zu-Preem per month which is very comparable to the usual feed cost for the common family pet “Rover”. Both of the above mentioned feeds can be purchased from your local veterinarian’s office. Health Care– An identical regimen of annual vaccinations and worming programs ,as is required by the common American Short Hair, is all that is necessary to keep the Serval maintained in excellent health. We do recommend having all four paws of your Serval declawed between four to six months of age. The best description one can give a person that has no idea what an African Serval Cat is would be to say it looks like a miniature cheetah. Most people have seen a cheetah on the Discovery Channel or a National Geographic special, so this at least gives them some idea of what the creature looks like. Of course, the size of the two felines is quite different along with many other differences but the colors and markings of the two felines are similar and a good starting point.   To be more specific, the Serval is one of the few spotted cats not on the endangered species list. The formal biological description of the Serval would be: FAMILY:-felidae, ORDER:-carnivora, SPECIES-felis(leptailurus)serval. The species was formerly termed Leptailurus Serval, with a sub-species called the Servaline because of the different color pattern (more numerous smaller sized spots) until both were found in the same areas of Africa and eventually found to be present in a single litter of cubs. The differences have now been attributed to the slightly different camouflage needed in the different geographical areas in which the cat resides. However, even though it has been determined that these cats with smaller but more numerous spots are not in fact a subspecies, I still hear the term “Servaline-like” used to describe this pattern of markings. Richard Green, in Wild Cat Species of the World, eloquently describes the Serval as a medium sized elegant looking cat with very long legs, a relatively small head, and very large ears. The ground color of the coat is yellowish buff with under parts pale, almost white. There are black spots on the body which merge into stripes on the neck and upper part of the back. The short tail has spots, which become rings towards the tip, whilst th


Lead singer of The Doors, Jim Morrison, died in July 1971 in which European city?

The Doors' Jim Morrison died 40 years ago - NY Daily News Jim Morrison died 40 years ago: The Doors singer was found unresponsive in a bathtub in Paris The Doors' Jim Morrison died 40 years ago The Doors singer Jim Morrison died forty years ago on July 3, 1971 in Paris, France. (Thomas Monaster) DAILY NEWS STAFF WRITER Sunday, July 3, 2011, 12:27 PM Forty years ago today, Jim Morrison died at the age of 27 -- and broke on through to the other side. The Doors singer's body was discovered by his girlfriend, Pamela Courson , in a bathtub in his Paris apartment on July, 3 1971. Persuant to French law, no autopsy was performed on Morrison because foul play was not suspected -- and that only added to the mystery surrounding his death. After returning to the U.S. , Courson told Danny Sugerman , the manager of The Doors, that Morrison had died of a heroin overdose after ingesting what he thought was cocaine. Later, Sugerman says Courson, a heroin addict herself, changed her story a number of times, and even admitted she had killed Morrison. Twenty years after Morrison's death, friends Alain Ronay and Agnes Varda broke their silence and gave their account of what happened that day. The two admitted that when they arrived at Morrison's apartment, Courson told them that they had both taken heroin after a night of drinking, and Morrison began coughing so badly, he was vomiting blood. When he seemed better, she went to sleep. But when she awoke a short time later, she found him in the bath unresponsive and called for help. Other conspiracy theories include that Morrison overdosed in a bathroom at Paris’ Rock 'n' Roll Circus nightclub, and was then dumped in his bathtub by two drug dealers. Morrison's body is buried in the Pere Lachaise Cemetery in Paris, and has become one of the city's most-visited tourist attractions. Three years after Morrison's death, Courson overdosed on heroin in California . Morrison formed The Doors in 1965 with Ray Manzarek , John Densmore and Robby Krieger . Until his death, they released six studio albums together and scored hits with "Break on Through (To the Other Side)," "Light My Fire," "Hello, I Love You" and "Riders on the Storm."


Dorsodynia is a pain in which part of the body?

The Pain Body | HeartSourcing The Pain Body The Pain Body Many stressful emotional patterns repeat themselves again and again. This is the invisible threat of Self-Sabotage. And it is invisible simply because it is an unconscious pattern that repeats itself. Who doesn’t know a couple for instance, who love each other deeply, and yet have regular conflicts, often about the same meaningless things that they argued about decades ago?  Who hasn’t had the thought during very happy times: “This is too good to last!” Who hasn’t noticed repetitive patterns of self-inflicted suffering? Who is not touched by the impact of recurring times of sadness, anxiety, anger, or self-defeating behaviors? There is an unseen force that causes us to unconsciously seek pain over and over again. Of course no one would do this consciously. No one likes to suffer. And yet we unconsciously create repetitive and unnecessary conflicts. These self-destructive habit patterns are known as the Pain Body. It is a powerful unconscious force with great momentum. It’s purpose is to continue the pattern – to bring us pain. In his book “A New Earth” Eckhart Tolle describes the pain body as a ‘psychic parasite’ that possesses you and causes you suffering. Everyone, but the truly enlightened, is infected to some extent. In most people the Pain Body is dormant for some time and then awakens to assert itself and replenish its energies. And it derives its energy from pain. Pain is its food. Here is an example of how you can notice the pain body: It can happen sometimes in the beginning of an argument with someone. You catch yourself saying some unkind words and you think, “Why am I saying this? I know where this will lead. It will lead to a conflict and I don’t want a conflict.” But then those words come out of your mouth anyway and the conflict takes its course. At first, before the Pain Body took over, there was still enough of you awake to have this awareness, but not enough to stop the words. Then, after the conflict, the Pain Body has fed itself and goes back to sleep again. Maybe you thought, “My God what possessed me to say the things I said?” Well now you know. The Pain Body is the shadow aspect of our being, the emotional part of the ego. If we want to live in harmony with ourselves and the world, we need to dissolve it. We create our own reality through our thinking and our emotional patterns. Until we change them, the same problems are likely to happen again and again, including our tendency to self-sabotage to keep the patterns in place. This is how we can stay stuck for a long time. Some interesting self-sabotage events are completely unforeseeable events that interfere with your life. Most people would not ever suspect that such events can have anything to do with their own subconscious mind – until such events repeat themselves at similar junctions in life. Another form of self-sabotage are what we might call ‘metaphysical delusions,’ the conviction that grace will take care of you, that all is really fine, or that no action on your part is necessary. The truth however is that grace comes to us in exact proportion to self-effort. While grace is free and abundant, we have to make the effort to become able vessels of that grace. The resolution of this challenge comes when our yearning to experience the true freedom of liberation from suffering has become stronger than the old habits of interference. How does that happen? This inner maturing can be accomplished by two forces: by suffering and by a decision to do what is necessary to reach this freedom, aided by a deep yearning or desire for it. Yes, we have a choice here: if we are able to make the decision to free ourselves proactively from the inner obstructions, we can avoid the necessity for suffering to give us this motivation. In this way we can prevent unknown suffering in the future! ~ You do this by becoming increasingly aware of the way you create suffering for yourself through your reactions to people and situations. Sometimes you may be able to feel the subtle onset of internal pain. Shedding


The Mont Blanc Tunnel joins which two countries?

It is 7.3 miles (11.7 km) long and is driven under the highest mountain in Europe . The tunnel is notable for its solution of a difficult ventilation problem and for being the first large rock tunnel to be excavated full-face—i.e., with the entire diameter of the tunnel bore drilled and blasted. Otherwise it was conventionally driven from two headings, the Italian and French crews beginning work in 1958 and 1959, respectively, and meeting in August 1962. Many difficulties, including an avalanche that swept the Italian camp, were overcome, and, when the tunnel opened in 1965, it was the longest vehicular tunnel in the world. It fulfilled a 150-year-old dream and is of great economic importance, providing a significantly shortened year-round automotive route between the two countries. In March 1999, however, a two-day fire killed 39 people and caused extensive damage to the tunnel, forcing it to close. It reopened to car traffic in March 2002 and to trucks and buses in the following months. Protestors, citing environmental and safety concerns, opposed the tunnel’s reopening, especially its use by heavy trucks.

The Spectre organisation first featured in which James Bond film?

SPECTRE | James Bond Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia is a dedicated fraternity whose strength lies in the absolute integrity of its members." ― Ernst Stavro Blofeld. [src] SPECTRE (an acronym of Special Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge and Extortion), stylised simply as Spectre in its 2015 film reboot, is a fictional global criminal and terrorist organisation featured in the James Bond novels by Ian Fleming and their official and unofficial film adaptations. Led by 007's nemesis  Ernst Stavro Blofeld , the organisation first formally appeared in the novel Thunderball (1961) and subsequently in the movie Dr. No (1962). After a four-decade absence from the Eon film series the organization was officially reintroduced in the twenty-fourth Bond film, Spectre  (2015). When introduced in 1961, the organization effectively replaced as Bond's primary antagonist. SPECTRE is not aligned to any nation or political ideology, enabling the later Bond books and Bond films to be regarded as apolitical. Originally concieved of as a small group of professional criminals in the novels, SPECTRE became a vast international organisation with its own elaborate facilities in the film series. Contents Ideology Comparison of Fiona Volpe's octopus insignia ring from Thunderball (1965), with Marco Sciarra's one from Spectre (2015). In Ian Fleming's novels, SPECTRE was primarily a commercial enterprise led by Ernst Stavro Blofeld . Their top-level members were 21 individuals, 18 of whom handled day-to-day affairs and were drawn in groups of three from six of the world's greatest criminal organisations—the Gestapo, SMERSH , Marshal Josip Broz Tito's secret police, the Mafia, the Unione Corse , and a massive heroin-smuggling operation based in Turkey. [1] Their debut was in Thunderball . At the time of writing the novel (c.1959) Fleming believed that the Cold War might end during the two years it would take to produce a film adaptation, which would leave it looking dated; he therefore thought it better to create a politically neutral enemy for Bond. [2] In the classic James Bond films produced by EON Productions , the organisation had a more active role, often as a third party in the ongoing Cold War. The goal of world domination was only ever stated in You Only Live Twice , and SPECTRE was working not for itself but for an unnamed Asian government whose two representatives Blofeld speaks to during the movie; perhaps Red China, who earlier backed Goldfinger . SPECTRE 's goals in the other films it has appeared in have always been less lofty. Its long-term strategy, however, is illustrated by the analogy of the three Siamese fighting fish Blofeld keeps in an aquarium in the film version of From Russia with Love . Blofeld notes that one fish is refraining from fighting two others until their fight is concluded. Then, that cunning fish attacks the weakened victor and kills it easily. Similarly,  SPECTRE 's main strategy was to instigate conflict between two powerful enemies, namely the superpowers, hoping that they would exhaust themselves and be vulnerable when it seizes power. SPECTRE thus worked with both sides of the Cold War. In all novel and film depitctions, organizational discipline within SPECTRE was notoriously draconian with the penalty for disobedience or failure being death. With the cinematic Blofeld stating on several occasions: "This organisation does not tolerate failure". Furthermore, to heighten the impact of the executions, Blofeld often chose to focus attention on an innocent member, making it appear his death is imminent, only to suddenly strike down the actual target when that person is off guard. Fleming's SPECTRE had elements inspired by mafia syndicates and organised crime rings that were actively hunted by law enforcement in the 1950s. The strict codes of loyalty and silence, and the hard retributions that followed violations, were hallmarks of U.S. gangster rings, Mafia, the Unione Corse, the Chinese Tongs/Triads and the Japanese Yakuza/Black Dragon Society.

What is the name of the fictional vicar played by Dawn French in the UK television series ‘The Vicar of Dibley’?

Six to watch: TV priests and vicars | Television & radio | The Guardian Six to watch Six to watch: TV priests and vicars With the current success of Father Brown and the past popularity of Rev, priests and vicars may be starting to take centre stage on TV. We pay homage to some of the best small-screen clergy Mark Williams as the eponymous Father Brown, currently showing on BBC1. Photograph: Des Willie/BBC Share on Messenger Close Traditionally, television has either dressed them up inWith straw hats and used them as the butt of jokes, or portrayed them as hapless victims in Agatha Christie adaptations. But it seems that priests and vicars have begun to take centre stage on the small screen. Following the success of BBC2's comedy Rev , there's currently another sympathetic ordinand on television: GK Chesterton's prewar detective Father Brown, who has been appearing daily on BBC1 in the afternoons. Brown is played by Mark Williams (of The Fast Show and Harry Potter fame). He would not have been my immediate idea for the part of Chesterton's squat and gentle character with the odd clothes and large brolly, but Williams seems to have grown into the role of the kindly but also hugely worldly cleric with "a penchant for spy novels and crossword puzzles". (There is a strong supporting cast, the production values are high for a daytime show and it's all aided by the rather beautiful setting of the Cotswolds. If you have missed it, you can catch-up on iPlayer . But who are the other great and most memorable TV priests and vicars? As always, we want to hear what you have to say in the comments below. Adam Smallbone – Rev Reading this on a mobile? Click here to watch James Wood's comedy rewrote the rulebook about depicting clergy on the small screen , making them so believable and appealing that it attracted the praise of the then Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams (among others), when it launched in 2010. Played to perfection by Tom Hollander, with a sympathetic vulnerability as well as an occasional steeliness, both Smallbone and the show as a whole are winning and highly plausible. It also included a brilliant support cast: Steve Evets as the lovable wastrel Colin, Simon McBurney as the creepily complicated Archdeacon Robert and Lucy Liemann's sexy headteacher Miss Pattman, whom the Rev cannot help fancying. Joyously returning for a third series next year . The Revd Simeon Simcox – Paradise Postponed A slightly obscure choice perhaps, but Michael Horden's portrayal of the left-leaning cleric with a secret past was spellbinding. First shown in 1986, this epic 11-part ITV drama was based on John Mortimer's novel about intergenerational (and interclass) goings on in a home counties village community. It was made in the days when drama had time to breathe and could be languid and considered, and Horden captured the charm as well as infuriating self-righteousness of a cleric with his nose always buried in a copy of the New Statesman, oblivious to the antics of his family. Father Ted Crilly – Father Ted It's a rare comedy lover who doesn't have their favourite moment from Graham Linehan and Arthur Mathew's classic series from the 1990s. Dermot Morgan's Ted, Ardal O'Hanlon's Dougal and Frank Kelly's father Jack ("drink, feck, girls") was whimsical, charming, surreal and bellyachingly funny. My personal favourite Ted moment comes in Rock of Ages when the priests participate in a talent contest as the three ages of Elvis . There is also the sublime episode Are You Right There Father Ted, in which everything the hapless cleric does convinces various people on Craggy Island that he is rabidly rightwing .

Who won the Golden Ball Award for best player at the 2006 FIFA World Cup?

BBC SPORT | Football | World Cup 2006 | Sent-off Zidane named best player Sent-off Zidane named best player Zidane's final match in professional football was the World Cup final Zinedine Zidane won the Golden Ball award for the World Cup's best player, despite being dismissed for headbutting Marco Materazzi in the final. France captain Zidane polled 2,012 points in the vote by journalists mostly carried out at half-time. The midfielder, 34, beat Italians Fabio Cannavaro (1,977 points) and Andrea Pirlo (715 points) in the ballot. He scored a penalty early on in the final but was sent off in extra time as France went on to lose on penalties. Report: Zidane welcomed home The former international player of the year and 1998 World Cup winner announced last month that he was retiring from football after the tournament. The vast majority of those votes were cast by journalists before the final was over and that I'm sure is why Zidane has come out top BBC sports news correspondent Gordon Farquhar On Sunday, he put France ahead from the spot in the opening minutes but was sent off after slamming his head into Materazzi's chest during the tense second period of extra time, which ended 1-1. It was to be his last act as a professional player and, with the French missing his prowess in the ensuing penalty shootout, Italy went on to claim the World Cup title. BBC sports news correspondent Gordon Farquhar was in Berlin to see the game and the vote. "The vast majority of those votes were cast by journalists before the final was over and that I'm sure is why Zidane has come out top," Farquhar told BBC Radio Five Live. WORLD CUP BLOG More on our World Cup blog "But it's going to be a bit embarrassing for Fifa - the man who got sent off in the final for a completely unacceptable foul against another player is the guy who's been chosen by journalists as the man of the tournament. "The reason the journalists voted for Zidane was this great emotional thing - everybody knew it was his last tournament and the final was his last game of football ever - but most people were dumbfounded to see what he did on Sunday. "If you'd asked the 2,012 journalists - who voted for him - after the game whether they wanted to change their vote, they probably would have." Other players on the Golden Ball shortlist included Maniche (Portugal), Michael Ballack (Germany), Gianluca Zambrotta (Italy), Thierry Henry (France), Gianluigi Buffon (Italy), Patrick Vieira (France) and Miroslav Klose (Germany). 606 VIEW


Who wrote and recorded the 1966 song ‘Mellow Yellow’?

Mellow Yellow by Donovan Songfacts Mellow Yellow by Donovan Songfacts Songfacts In an interview with the June 18, 2011 edition of the NME, Donovan was asked what the song was actually about. He replied: "Quite a few things. Being mellow, laid-back, chilled out. 'They call me Mellow Yellow, I'm the guy who can calm you down.' [John] Lennon and I used to look in the back of newspapers and pull out funny things and they'd end up in songs. So it's about being cool, laid-back, and also the electrical bananas that were appearing on the scene - which were ladies vibrators." Donovan set out to capture the mellow vibe of the '60s with this song, adding what he called "cool, groovy phrases." These phrases were interpreted in ways he never imagined, as people came up with lots of ideas as to what the song meant. Most of these interpretations concerned drugs, but there were even rumors that the song was about abortion. There is certainly a drug influence on this song, but it's about much more than that. In his Songfacts interview , Donovan said: "To be 'mellow' is to be cool, to be laid back, but it doesn't have to be with a smoke. It can be through meditation. And it was meditation that became more serious for The Beatles and me, and presenting that in our music." Paul McCartney appears somewhere on this track, but it's not clear where. He was rumored to be the whispering voice saying "quite rightly," but that was Donovan. McCartney dropped by the session and was captured on tape saying "Mellow Yellow" and doing some cheering. His voice is likely somewhere in the mix at the end of the song amid the revelry. Donovan had recently helped out McCartney on another "Yellow" song: He provided the "sky of blue, sea of green" line in " Yellow Submarine ." Both songs hit #2 US in 1966. When this song came out in 1966, there was a widespread rumor that it was about getting high on banana skins. The idea was that you scraped the fibers off of a banana skin and cooked them over a low fire. This was supposed to release the hallucinogenic qualities. Of course, it was never true! >> Suggestion credit: Victor - Boston, MA Asked by the NME in 1967 why this song did so well in America, Donovan said it had to do with driving. "A great many of the discs are heard on car radios, and if the music is not sympathetic to the driver, one push of the button and he's on another station," he said. "You can almost change gear in time to 'Mellow Yellow.'" This was used in a popular 1999 commercial for The Gap titled "Everybody in Cords," promoting their corduroy pants, which come in shades of saffron and yellow. It was also used in a 1987 commercial for a product called Butter It, which is a "liquid butter alternative." In that one, the song was altered, with the line "quite rightly" changed to "just butter it." Donovan pushed to get his songs in as many commercials as he could, since it was great exposure for them and a nice source of income. How he felt about a liquid butter alternative was immaterial. In 1979, the Coca-Cola Company introduced a new soda called Mello Yello designed to compete with the Pepsi product Mountain Dew. This song wasn't used in the advertising, as oddly, it was marketed as "the world's fastest soft drink," not a "mello" one. In our interview with Donovan, he said: "The story goes that they could use the title, but they didn't have to use the song. So I didn't mind. And they didn't want the song. But then it didn't sell, so maybe they should have used the song after all."


Which English football club play their home games at White Hart Lane?

Tottenham Hotspur to leave White Hart Lane for 2017-18 season due to a High Court challenge - Telegraph Tottenham Hotspur Tottenham Hotspur to leave White Hart Lane for 2017-18 season due to a High Court challenge Spurs have announced it is 'highly unlikely' they will be able to move into  their new stadium for the start of the 2017-2018 season On the move: An artist's rendering of the Tottenham's new White Hart Lane stadium   Follow Tottenham have confirmed that they will play their home matches away from White Hart Lane for one season while they build a new ground, with Stadium:mk in Milton Keynes one of the more radical options alongside Wembley, the Olympic Stadium and Twickenham. A statement on Wednesday said that the club were in the process of “undertaking due diligence on alternative stadium options” and, while suggestions of playing further afield in Ipswich or Brighton are highly unlikely, most other possibilities remain on the table. These include sharing with another London club or playing some matches at Wembley and some at Stadium:mk. Tentative talks are believed to have already been held with Wembley, although Brent Council will not currently allow more than 37 major events per year to be held at the national stadium. In this past year, 33 events have been held, including England matches, various club competitions and concerts, as well as rugby union and an annual NFL fixture. That would seem to make it impossible for Tottenham to play an entire season at Wembley but it could be used for higher profile games alongside a second smaller venue. The closest Premier League club to Tottenham is Arsenal but, even aside from the intense local rivalry, a ground-share is not deemed feasible because of fixture scheduling. Related Articles From Spurs board room to polo 03 Sep 2014 The idea of using Upton Park after it is vacated by West Ham and before it is redeveloped is also understood to have been explored. Spurs stressed on Wednesday that there would be no perfect solution but made particular mention of how the impact on both fans and the players would be of critical importance. “Consideration needs to be given to several factors, including planning and policing and, importantly, our fans and the impact it may have on the team itself,” the statement said. “Clearly all possible options have pros and cons and we are aware that we shall not be able to find one which will please all parties. We shall however seek to find the optimum solution for the club and our supporters and we shall be sharing our deliberations with our supporters at an appropriate time.” The timescale is also currently uncertain. Tottenham took a major step forward in their planning for a new 56,250-capacity stadium in July when a Compulsory Purchase Order was approved but that decision is now being challenged in the High Court. Spurs say that they have already successfully and amicably relocated more than 70 businesses in the area but that they have been unable to reach agreement with one landowner. “We remain committed to finding the earliest possible resolution and shall continue to engage with Archway,” the statement said. The delay means that Tottenham now regard themselves as “highly unlikely” to move into their new stadium as scheduled for 2017-18. They will need to find an alternative home for one season while the construction work is carried out. “The club has revised its construction programme in order to take the shortest possible time to construct,” the Spurs statement said. “This now therefore involves the club moving away from the Lane during construction for a period of one season, to start at the beginning of a season in order to comply with Premier League rules.” The new stadium would be built as part of a development that would also include the land of their current White Hart Lane home. Tottenham were among the bidders for the Olympic Stadium but, with West Ham due to be the anchor tenant from the 2016‑17 season, there may also be scheduling issues with any possible ground share. Their proposal must gain the approval of the Pr


Who was the mother of British monarch King George V?

King George V King George V ▼ Primary Sources ▼ King George V George, the second son of Edward VII and Alexandra of Denmark, was born at Marlborough House on 3rd June, 1865. Most of his childhood was spent at Sandringham, Buckingham Palace and Balmoral. After being educated at home by the Rev. J. N. Dalton, George became a naval cadet at Dartmouth. By 1889 he was commander of a torpedo boat. However, in January 1892, his naval career came to an end when his older brother, Prince Edward, died of pneumonia. Edward had been engaged to marry his German cousin, Princes Mary of Teck. It was now decided she should marry George instead. George was now heir to the throne and it was decided that he could no longer risk his life as a naval commander. He was granted the title, the Duke of York and became a member of the House of Lords . George was also given a political education that included an in-depth study of the British Constitution. However, unlike his father, he did not learn to speak any foreign languages. George, Duke of York, married Princess Mary in 1893. Mary had six children: Edward VIII (1894-1972), George VI (1895-1952), Mary (1897-1965), Henry, Duke of Gloucester (1900-1974), George , Duke of Kent (1902-1942) and Prince John (1905-1919). Edward VII died in 1910 during the Liberal Government's conflict with the Lords. His father had promised to give his support to the reform of the House of Lords if Herbert Asquith and the Liberal Party won a General Election on this issue. Although the 1910 General Election held in December did not produce a clear victory for the Liberals, George V agreed to keep his father's promise. When the House of Lords attempted to stop the passage of the 1911 Parliament Act , George V made it clear he was willing to create 250 new Liberal peers in order to remove the Conservative majority in the Lords. Faced with the prospect of a House of Lords with a permanent Liberal majority, the Conservatives agreed to let the 1911 Parliament Act become law. The outbreak of the First World War created problems for the royal family because of its German background and the family name of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha. To stress his support for the British, the king made several visits to the Western Front . On one visit to France in 1915 he fell off his horse and broke his pelvis. In 1916 Noel Pemberton Billing founded a journal called The Imperialist that was part-funded by Lord Beaverbrook . Billing claimed in his journal that there was a secret society called the Unseen Hand . As Ernest Sackville Turner , the author of Dear Old Blighty (1980) has pointed out: "One of the great delusions of the war was that there existed an Unseen (or Hidden, or Invisible) Hand, a pro-German influence which perennially strove to paralyse the nation's will and to set its most heroic efforts at naught... As defeat seemed to loom, as French military morale broke and Russia made her separate peace, more and more were ready to believe that the Unseen Hand stood for a confederacy of evil men, taking their orders from Berlin, dedicated to the downfall of Britain by subversion of the military, the Cabinet, the Civil Service and the City; and working not only through spiritualists, whores and homosexuals." Michael Kettle , the author of Salome's Last Veil : The Libel Case of the Century (1977) has pointed out: "Even Buckingham Palace was now seriously alarmed. The Royal advisers were acutely aware that the Royal Family could hardly be described as, well, entirely British. In fact, the Saxe-Coburgs were pure German, unashamedly came from Hanover, and had much more in common with the Hohenzollerns, the German Royal House, than with any decent old British family. The Prince Consort, it was still remembered (the old Queen's first cousin as well as her husband), had spoken a very funny sort of English indeed; and old King Edward had quite an accent, which could become very funny at times too.

Uploaded on Jan 2, 2009 A song from the Manchester Boys, Noel has written some great stuff, with the influence of the Liverpool boys clearly there to see. Hope you like it Wiki information Half the World Away" is a song by British Rock band Oasis. It is well known as the theme tune to the popular BBC sitcom The Royle Family. The song was written by Oasis' lead guitarist Noel Gallagher, who also provides lead vocals, taking over from Oasis' regular lead singer, Liam Gallagher. The song is a slow acoustic tune with plodding keyboards, and the lyric - much like "Rock 'n' Roll Star", one of Oasis' most famous songs - expresses a desire to leave a stagnant life in a boring city. Recorded at The Congress House Studio, Austin, Texas in October 1994, "Half the World Away" was first released as a B-side to "Whatever" on 18 December 1994, reaching #3 in the UK charts.[1] However, the song gained mass public exposure when it was selected by Caroline Aherne and Craig Cash to be the theme tune to their sitcom The Royle Family. The series revolved around the sitting room of a lazy working-class family and was set in Manchester, the hometown of Oasis. Although it had modest beginnings, the series soon became a cultural phenomenon in England and its theme became well known. The opening credits of the series edited together first stanza of the first verse and the second stanza of the first chorus. The end credits, which would cut in immediately after the final joke of the episode - so as to add weight to it - began with the second stanza of the final chorus and would see the song through to the coda. When Gallagher was originally approached about using an Oasis song for a series about a working class family in Manchester, he suggested "Married With Children" and was confused when "Half the World Away" was chosen. On tour in America when The Royle Family was first screened, he claims the penny did not drop until he returned to the United Kingdom to find the series a huge success and viewed it, feeling the song was perfect for the series. He now claims not to think of "Half the World Away" as an Oasis song, but rather as the theme tune to The Royle Family.[2] In 1998 the song was included in The Masterplan; a collection of Oasis' best b-sides. The collection was a success, peaking at #2 in the UK charts. The track is also included on Oasis' compilation album Stop the Clocks, which also reached #2. In interviews, Gallagher - who is famous for "borrowing" from other musicians - has admitted the tune to "Half the World Away" was adapted from "This Guy's In Love With You" by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. He commented "It sounds exactly the same. I'm surprised he hasn't sued me yet!"[ Category

Composers Beethoven and Schubert both died after completing which number symphony?

BEETHOVEN AND SCHUBERT BEETHOVEN AND SCHUBERT October 4, 2013 |     Filed under: Essay and tagged with: Reid , Schubert by Paul Reid Paul Reid is the author of The Beethoven Song Companion (2007), and former Chairman of the Schubert Institute (UK) . He also contributed his realisation of Beethoven’s Der Gute Fürst to this website. BEETHOVEN AND SCHUBERT ©2013, Paul Reid Two of the world’s greatest composers lived in the same small city for thirty-one years, the entire life of the younger man. We are bound to ask whether they met – and equally frustrated at the lack of evidence that renders all our answers ultimately conjectural. When asking how the work of the older composer influenced that of the younger, we have plentiful evidence at our disposal. If we seek to estimate the influence exerted on Schubert by the personality of Beethoven, our imagination in the interpretation of facts and events is again exercised. A final, intriguing question concerns the possible influence of Schubert on Beethoven. Could the Titan, rendered yet more remote by his deafness, have given heed to compositions by the retiring Schubert, twenty-seven years his junior? There can be no definitive answers to these questions, but we can at least offer a commonsense survey and a commentary on the facts and issues relevant to their investigation. Throughout his life Schubert admired Beethoven as an artist and a composer, but he did not set out slavishly to emulate the composer or to model his music directly on Beethoven’s. Indeed, despite occasional influences which can be traced in Schubert’s early compositions (where, like most young artists, he was studying a number of recognised sources as part of his apprenticeship), we find Schubert in 1816 blaming Beethoven for the trend towards ‘Bizarrerie’ in music. This ‘Bizarrerie’, which Schubert roundly condemns, is characterised by what Schubert considers an almost sacrilegious tendency to mix tragic and comic elements, to combine ‘the holiest with the Harlequin’, and arouse wild passions instead of leading listeners towards love and God. Schubert is clearly parroting the views of his musically conservative teacher Antonio Salieri to a large extent 1 , but he consistently disapproved of music as a tool to arouse cheap emotions and could never bring himself to debase music by making it a butt of humour in itself 2 . In his later music, Schubert occasionally echoes motives from Beethoven works, including deliberate quotations as homage, but rarely seeks to imitate Beethoven’s style as such. By then Beethoven is important more as a personal model of the independent professional composer, and his example confirms Schubert in his determination to compose what inner necessity dictates, even if this is out of step with fashion and may not be fully appreciated by his contemporaries. * * * * * Known links between the two great contemporaries The excellent student orchestra at the Konvikt, the Viennese boarding school which Schubert attended from 1808 until 1813, played the earlier (and easier) symphonies of Beethoven. The performances were enjoyed in the summer months by an appreciative crowd of locals, who gathered beneath the open windows of the school. Josef von Spaun 3 mentions the second symphony in D major (published in 1804) as a favourite which made the ‘deepest impression’ on Schubert, then only just 12 and playing in the violin section. Another fellow-student, Anton Holzapfel, 4 mentions the first and second symphonies, plus the overtures Coriolan (published 1808) and Leonore (probably No. 3, published 1807) – both then hot off the press. This was new and exciting music and showed Schubert just what could be achieved in the realm of orchestral music. Yet the effect of this encounter with Beethoven’s orchestral music was intimidating as well as inspiring. Spaun reports that Schubert developed serious ambitions as a composer, nourished and encouraged in part by Beethoven’s music, but felt that he would never be able to compete on equal terms with the great man: ‘Er sagte dann ganz kleinlaut: Heimlic


Which two numbers on a phone keypad have no letters?

Phone Key Pads Phone Key Pads Help bring back science education to the Center of the Universe Common Keypads There are several different key pads in use today. Essentially, there is the american (Ma Bell) classic, the new ITU/ANSI/ISO/IEC standard, and one former standard each for the UK and Australia. Then, (it probably seemed like a good idea at the time) mobile phone manufacturers invented a whole bunch of new ones. Fortunately, there is a standard ( ITU E.161 , also known as ANSI T1.703-1995/1999, and ISO/IEC 9995-8:1994), and most phones built today place letters on the phone key pad according to that standard. The following table shows how the most common touch tone key pads map letters to numbers. 1 OQZ Common Phone Keypads There exist a number of variations on these key pads, mostly involving the use of the letters I, O, Q, and Z and the numbers 1 and 0. There are also a number of local variations involing characters found in the scripts of local languages (umlaut's etc). We are working on a historical database of telephones.      Please send us the manufacturers name, year and model number of your phone     and tell us what kind of key pad your phone has. If you     like, include a picture of your phone. We will incorporate     the data in future revisions of our site. Problems Arising From Assumptions about Key Pads Many IVR (interactive voice response) systems, also known as phone bots, let you enter names using your telephone key pad. This is done, for instance, when looking up a particular extension by name. These systems sometimes overlook the fact that not everybody has the same kind of keypad. So, if you are looking up "Steve Wozniak" in a company directory and are asked to enter the digits corresponding to the first three letters of his last name, you might type 969, 961, or 900, depending on the kind of phone you are using. North American Classic Key Pad This is the standard north american letter/number assignment       found on Telephones in Canada and the US since beginning of        the 20th century. The assignment of numbers to letters        predates DTMF and touch dialing and is the same as found on many old rotary dial phones. 1


Which US state is known as The Land of Enchantment?

The State of New Mexico - An Introduction to the Land of Enchantment from NETSTATE.COM The State of New Mexico Winter Cottonwoods, Taos New Mexico welcomes you with color and art, music and dance, breathtaking landscapes, and a heritage of Indian, Anglo, and Hispanic cultures that cannot be found in any other state in the union. From prehistoric times until the present, cultures and tribes have journeyed through New Mexico's land. From the north, various native American tribes have wandered in, and from the south, people from Mexico, and Spaniards as well, and Europeans have added to the mix. Pueblo, Apache, Navajo and others are all part of the incredible diversity that marks the vibrant culture of New Mexico. The people, their heritage and traditions, their skills and their arts, and the land, its awesome beauty, all make New Mexico the unique and colorful place that it is today. The hot air balloon is New Mexico's official aircraft . Land of Enchantment (Official) The "Land of Enchantment" describes New Mexico's scenic beauty and its rich history. This legend was placed on New Mexico license plates in 1941. This nickname became the official State Nickname of New Mexico on April 8, 1999. The Cactus State or "Land of the Cactus" refers to the cacti that grow so abundantly in the state, particularly along the border with Mexico and on the plains. The Spanish State New Mexico has been referred to as "The Spanish State" because of its border with Mexico, its historical background and the proportion of its Spanish speaking population. The Land of Sunshine or "The Sunshine State" are nicknames that refer to the generous portion of sunshine that "rains" down upon New Mexico. "Sunshine State" appeared on state license plates before 1941. The Land of the Delight Makers This nickname, suggested by George Wharton James, was to celebrate the state's influence on literature and art and because "...it is also the home of the first real field-school of American Archaeology in America." The name was suggested by a book by Adolf Bandelier, The Delight Makers . The Land of Opportunity So called because of its natural beauty, its climate, its newness at the time, its free lands and its industries. New Mexico was described as place that offered enough opportunity to fulfill the hopes of all who came. The Land of the Heart's Desire This is another historical nickname that promoted New Mexico as a land of unbound opportunity. Its location was between the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean, it provided an ideal climate and was still relatively undeveloped. THE STATE QUARTER: United States Mint Image The second commemorative quarter-dollar coin released in 2008 honors New Mexico, and is the 47th coin in the United States Mint's 50 State Quarters® Program. New Mexico, nicknamed the "Land of Enchantment," was admitted into the Union on January 6, 1912, becoming our Nation's 47th state. The reverse of New Mexico's quarter features a Zia sun symbol over a topographical outline of the State with the inscription "Land of Enchantment." The coin also bears the inscriptions "New Mexico" and "1912." The great influence of Native American cultures can be found throughout New Mexico. The Zia Pueblo believe the sun symbol represents the giver of all good, who gave gifts in groups of four. From the circle representing life and love without beginning or end, the four groups of four rays that emanate represent the four directions, the four seasons, the four phases of a day (sunrise, noon, evening, and night), and the four divisions of life (childhood, youth, middle years, and old age). The New Mexico Coin Commission, appointed by Governor Bill Richardson, solicited and reviewed approximately 1,000 concept submissions from state citizens. The Commission then constructed four narrative concepts that represented the most popular elements submitted by the public and forwarded them to the United States Mint for consideration. The final artistic renderings developed by United States Mint Sculptor-Engravers and artists participating in the United States Mint's Ar


Boxer Primo Carnera was known as the ‘Ambling ‘what’?

February 10, 1933: Boxing’s Monster, Primo Carnera, Kills Opponent! - History and Headlines February 10, 1933: Boxing’s Monster, Primo Carnera, Kills Opponent! 94 Comments A Brief History On February 10, 1933, Primo Carnera, a heavyweight boxer called “The Monster” by Time Magazine, dealt Ernie Schaaf fatal blows during a boxing match in New York City.  The hapless Schaaf died 4 days after the match. Digging Deeper Digging deeper, we find Carnera as the heaviest heavyweight boxing champion of his day (a record held until 2005) and at 6’7″ (an exaggeration by an inch and a half), also listed as the tallest (again until 2005 when Nikolay Valuev won a title). Also known as the “Ambling Alp,” Carnera was an Italian fighter who was dogged his entire career by allegations of being under mob control and fighting in fixed matches.  Fixed or not, Carnera won 89 of 103 fights and won the world heavyweight championship 4 months after the Schaaf fight, defeating the reigning champion Jack Sharkey. Unfortunately for Primo, his own reign was to last just under a year, as Max Baer took his crown on his third try after two successful defenses by Carnera.  An interesting note, the son of Max Baer, Max Baer Jr., played the strapping, but not too smart character of Jethro Bodine on the 1960’s television show The Beverly Hillbillies. Boxing’s giant strongman was KO’d by diabetes and kidney disease in 1938 and had to retire from boxing when he had a kidney removed.  Still active in other fields, Carnera acted in many films and became a well-known professional wrestler, serving as long-time champ. Some of the interesting roles Carnera played on film include parts in Mighty Joe Young (1949), where he plays tug of war with the big ape, The Lady and the Prizefighter (1933), which also featured Myrna Loy and his future usurper Max Baer, and Hercules Unchained (1959), in which he played a giant, also his last role. Films and references in films were also made that resembled Carnera’s life (sometimes loosely), notably television’s Requiem for a Heavyweight (1956), Cinderella Man (2005) and Carnera: The Walking Mountain (2008).  In 1956, a film adaptation of the 1947 book The Harder They Fall about a fighter whose fights were rigged was made.  It was reminiscent enough of Carnera that he sued the movie company but lost. More recently, in 2010 the rock band Yeasayer released the song “Ambling Alp” on their Odd Blood album in reference to Carnera. One of the more cracked episodes of Carnera’s career took place in 1941 when Benito Mussolini, the Italian Fascist dictator, had Carnera filmed boxing a black African prisoner of war in order to show Italian racial superiority.  The 6’3” Zulu, who had no boxing experience, knocked out Carnera instead! Primo Carnera died in Italy in 1967, aged only 60 years, probably of kidney failure.  Plagued by diabetes most of his life, “The Monster,” according to a press release by Jeremy Schapp, also ate like a monster, knocking down “a quart of orange juice, two quarts of milk, nineteen pieces of toast, fourteen eggs, a loaf of bread and half a pound of Virginia Ham” for breakfast!  Well, they do say breakfast is the most important meal… Historical Evidence For more information, please see… [AMAZONPRODUCTS asin=”097083716X, B002W1UIUM, 0786448105″] And for more of the worst moments in boxing’s history, please see this list . Share story Major Dan is a retired veteran of the United States Marine Corps. He served during the Cold War. MB I found this article to very interesting. I’m glad to see that after he got defeated by diabetes and getting a kidney removed he was a well known professional wrestler. I also am glad he didn’t let that stop him from doing anything. I never seen any of the movies he participated in. HLM I found this to be an interesting article. I am a little surprised he was still able to fight after dealing a fatal blow blow to an opponent, a lot of boxers are not able to continue to fight on after that. It was nice to see that he had a variety of interests and talents, not just boxing! BY Omg! This gu

What are the name of the green flower buds used in tartar sauce?

Almost Tartar Sauce | Think Tasty Almost Tartar Sauce ADVERTISEMENT Tartar sauce is one of those sauces whose names give you no idea what’s in them; for the record, it contains no cream of tartar. Most people have no idea what’s in it, but most people expect to see it on the table, or in a little packet on their fast food tray, when fish is served. So it’s a good thing to have around, but what exactly is it? Tartar sauce is based on mayonnaise, another wildly popular sauce with an uninformative name. (There are different stories about where the name came from; anyway, mayonnaise is made of egg and oil.) Almost always, it includes pickles of some kind, varying by region. After that, there’s a lot of variation. Fresh tartar sauce made from scratch can get pretty elaborate, with capers, fresh parsley, olives, chopped hard boiled egg, and more. Ready made tartar sauce in a jar tends to be a faintly spiced white spread with green flecks. What I’m offering here is something in between: a basic fish sauce you can make from ingredients you’re likely to have already, especially in summer. If you want to add any of the extras I’ve mentioned above, go ahead – but this is all you need to make something better than commercial tartar sauce:   Ingredients 1/4 cup mayonnaise (four tablespoons will be easier to get out of the jar) 1/4 tsp dry mustard (use prepared mustard if that’s what you have, but the sauce will be a little thinner) 1 tsp pickle relish 1 tsp chopped green onion Instructions Combine all ingredients thoroughly and store in a covered container in the refrigerator. Keeps for about a week. This is also good as a sandwich spread when you want something with a little more taste than mayonnaise. You could also try making tuna salad with it. I came up with the green onion, which I had in a glass of water on my kitchen windowsill, as a cheap substitute for capers. These, by the way, are pickled edible flower buds from a plant that grows around the Mediterranean and other warm places. In not-so-warm places, like where I live, they’re seriously expensive. It’s no wonder more people don’t try to make their own tartar sauce when a jar of one ingredient costs more than a jar of ready made sauce. If you’ve got capers already, or if you can get them affordably, again, go right ahead and use them. By Jane Wangersky
