In the US television show ‘The Sopranos’, what is the name of the club in Long Beach, New Jersey, in which Christopher set Adriana up as manager?

List of characters from The Sopranos in the DiMeo Crime Family | The Sopranos Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia List of characters from The Sopranos in the DiMeo Crime Family 390pages on Main article: Jackie Aprile, Sr. Silvio Dante Referenced in: " 46 Long ", " Meadowlands ", " Pax Soprana ", " Guy Walks Into a Psychiatrist's Office... ", " Rat Pack " Ercole DiMeo, a.k.a. "Old Man" and Ercole "Eckley" DiMeo, is the founder and the longtime Boss of the DiMeo crime family . By the events of the series, he is Boss in name only, and never demonstrated any influence over the family: he is serving a life sentence in a high security United States Prison in Springfield, Missouri . In season two, when Philip "Philly Spoons" Parisi picks up Gigi Cestone at the airport, we got some information about the prison where he is serving his life sentence. It is implied from the conversations that DiMeo is suffering from extreme old age and requires round-the-clock nursing care in the prison hospital wing. When the death of Giacomo "Jackie" Aprile is reported on television in season one, the newsreporter states that; he was the Acting boss for the 74-year-old Ercoli "Eckley" DiMeo, which then makes him over 80 years old at the end of the series. DiMeo ran the family from sometime in the late 1950s or early 1960s until he received a sentence of life imprisonment in 1995, at which point Giacomo "Jackie" Aprile became Acting boss of the family. Though Jackie already had full control in 1999 (the first season of The Sopranos ), at one point he said "I may be Acting boss while the old man's a guest of the government" out of deference to DiMeo. DiMeo was apparently a major force in his prime. He served as a mentor to Tony Soprano and, according to other characters, had Tony and Jackie pegged early on as an eventual candidate for boss. DiMeo also took a liking to Tony's father "Johnny Boy" Soprano and it is likely that Johnny would have been Acting Boss had he not died of emphysema in 1986. However, it is clear that DiMeo had great muscle behind him when he led the family, as prominent capos "Johnny Boy" Soprano , Corrado "Junior" Soprano , and Michele "Feech" La Manna were below him. DiMeo is based on the real boss of the North Jersey-based DeCavalcante crime family , Giovanni "John the Eagle" Riggi , an aging mobster serving a long prison term who made only the occasional intervention via the various acting bosses. The DiMeo/Soprano crime family is based on the DeCavalcante crime family . Michael "Mikey Grab Bag" Palmice Appears in: " Mr. & Mrs. John Sacrimoni Request... ", " Live Free or Die ", " The Ride ", " Cold Stones " Perry Annunziata, also known as "Muscles Marinara" is from Bloomfield, New Jersey . He served as a bodyguard and driver for Tony Soprano during his recovery from a gunshot in 2006. Tony calls him Penne Arrabiata (as in the pasta dish Penne all'arrabbiata ), on account of his getting angry (Italian: arrabiato) at a rude driver while driving Tony. He is first runner-up in Mr. Teenage Bloomfield and cousin of Gina Annunziata. Tony picked a fight with Perry at Satriale's to regain the respect of the family following his injury - selecting Perry specifically because of his muscular build and hot-headed nature. Perry knows the ramifications of beating up a mob boss and even still tried to fight back. Tony beats him to the ground and gives him a broken nose . Tony later paid Perry off as an apology for the altercation although Perry stated that he was in the wrong. Perry takes advice from both his father and from capo Carlo Gervasi. Perry renewed his duties by accompanying Tony to the Feast of Saint Elzear and to Christopher Moltisanti's belated bachelor party. Annunziata was driving Tony when he discovered the corpse of Fat Dom Gamiello at Satriale's, but he remained in the car. Matthew Bevilaqua Appears in: " Cold Cuts ", " Long Term Parking ", " Remember When ", " Made in America " Former soldier in the Soprano crew, worked alongside Johnny Boy Soprano. Unlike many of his contemporaries he was able to retire from "the business".

In the US television show ‘The Sopranos’, what is the nickname of Paulie Gualtieri?

Paulie Gualtieri | The Sopranos Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Peter Paul "Paulie Walnuts" Gualtieri played by Tony Sirico , is a caporegime (captain) and later underboss in the DiMeo crime family . Contents Biography Plot details According to The Sopranos, A Family History, Peter Paul Gualtieri, son of Gennaro Gualtieri (although Paulie's biological father was later revealed to be a World War II era soldier named "Russ"), has been a troubled street kid from the age of nine. He dropped out of school after the 9th grade [1] and spent time in and out of juvenile correctional facilities during his early youth. When he was 17, he officially became an enforcer/bodyguard for "Johnny Boy" Soprano , Tony's father and captain in the DiMeo crime family . His mother, later discovered to be his aunt, worked at a Krespe's Department store in Newark during Paulie's childhood and early adulthood, but has since retired. Paulie's grandfather, who immigrated to the United States in 1910, is from Ariano Irpino, a municipality in the province of Avellino, in the Campania region of Italy . [2] Paulie's grandfather and Tony's paternal grandparents were from the same province in Italy. Paulie spent four years in the US Army Signal Corps, where he was eventually drummed out through Section 8 (discharged because of psychiatric reasons). Although Paulie did not have a long military career, he is still proud of it, and few of the other characters in the series had military experience. Afterwards, he spent more time in and out of prison on various criminal charges. Eventually, he worked his way up through the DiMeo crime family, reaching the rank of Captain in 2000, shortly after Anthony "Tony" Soprano became Boss of New Jersey. In 2006, Paulie was promoted to Underboss , and Christopher Moltisanti was put in charge of Paulie's crew, which happened to be Tony's crew earlier. Paulie got his nickname "Paulie Walnuts" due to hijacking a truck in the early 1990s which he believed to be filled with television sets, but only contained walnuts. Paulie is one of the most colorful characters on the show. Often talked about as a reputed psychopath with no heart-feelings, Paulie is highly paranoid and often refers to the supernatural things he experiences, like déjà vu, seeing the Virgin Mary , and especially his constant fear of death, either natural or probable. Paulie has displayed kindness and loyalty, and usually cracks jokes. However, despite his seniority, Paulie is one of the more eccentric of Tony's associates and is arguably one of the most ruthless, as expressed by his paranoia, mysophobia, competitiveness, miserly nature, impulsive violence and often childlike dependence on Tony's approval. In the season one finale, " I Dream of Jeannie Cusamano ", Tony told his crew that he had been in therapy for almost a year, when Paulie revealed that he too had seen a therapist, from whom he 'learned some coping skills'. Nevertheless, Paulie is recognized throughout the series as one of the top earners and one of Tony's most trustworthy friends in his "inner circle" of Paulie, Silvio Dante , and Christopher Moltisanti . Uniquely among his colleagues, Paulie remains single and has no children outside marriage. Unlike most of the other Mafiosi , he shuns the married life. [3] A girlfriend of Paulie's, played by Judy Reyes, is briefly seen in episode 2.9 (" From Where to Eternity "). In a rare moment, Paulie shows compassion for her two children, putting them back to bed, sadly citing he shouldn't keep everyone up, (as he is suffering from nightmares after hearing Christopher talk about his trip to Hell after being shot). She recommends a psychic, but the session ends with Paulie calling the group a bunch of "fucking queers" after the psychic sees the spirit of Charles "Sonny" Pagano - the first guy Paulie ever whacked - together with other spirits, including Mikey Palmice , who supposedly tells the psychic to ask Paulie if the poison ivy, which he caught on his face while chasing (Palmice) to execute him, still itches.

Who created the US television show ‘The Sopranos’?

The Sopranos Fan Reviews & Ratings - TV.com The Sopranos is a phenomenal roller coaster ride into the mind of a both repulsive and lovable character. 9.5 By cowhouse ,    May 29, 2014 The Sopranos is a strong contender for greatest television show ever made. But what gives it the edge is that Sopranos raised the benchmark and set the rules for all other high quality dramas to follow. Claiming The Wire or Breaking Bad may not have existed is a bit of a stretch, but to say it influenced them in formula, style and sheer intelligence is an understatement. Sopranos paved the way in so many ways, such as mature content at its most raw, and allowing us to sympathise with monsters, which has now become standard in this medium and is now what sets it apart from other media outlets. The importance of Sopranos is clearly huge, but that alone wouldn't propel it amongst the very best if it wasn't entertaining. Luckily, it reigns supreme in this factor too, with arguably the single greatest anti hero to grace our screens, emotional gut punches galore and plenty of truly dark humour that often relieves the tension at always the right time. It remains high in quality throughout it's run, and the only slight dips are the occasional episode in the later seasons. The first few episodes give the impression its a generic, albeit brilliantly made depiction of the gangster lifestyle. It quickly destroys this notion however, as Tony Soprano gradually opens up and eventually pouring his heart to his shrink, where we unravel his twisted, disturbing and suprisingly vulnerable thought process. These scenes become almost an analysis to his rotten criminal activities before it, and becomes a compelling formula once you are into it. As the show goes on, it becomes much more surreal and artistic, with ambitious (very long) dream sequences and monologues that are hard to decipher. More often than not however they hit their mark. The entire supporting cast, much like Tony himself, are certainly flawed, and can be difficult to like. The show doesnt ask you to do so however. It's grounded in realism, and characters are the story, a tragic one at that. And seeing it unravel is to venture further into the rabbit hole. There are a number of scenes in the series that are downright shocking, and will likely to put even the most desensitised viewer into a state of anger. But its not "shock value" if the scenes has context and meaning. Since this show has ended I sort television dramas into two categories: pre-Sopranos and post-Sopranos. And since television has never been better. DO YOU AGREE? By RBarao ,    Feb 11, 2014 This show isn't about mafiosi, crime, murder or drugs. This is a careful, methodical dissection of the notion of "family" and "family values". There are no simple relationships, and no character is either black or white. They're all flawed and, at some point, they all disappoint or surprise us, make us root for them or hate them. Moreover, the writing is simply unsurpassable. There is no room or need for expository dialogue. All we need to know is either shown or hinted at, and it's our job to put the pieces together, which is the true appeal of any meaningful relationship. The Sopranos is the gold standard for any show, regardless of genre. DO YOU AGREE? 4.0 By bknight1 ,    Sep 04, 2013 The Soprano's is a Mafia drama in the same way that Olive Garden is an Italian resteraunt. What always frustrated me about this show is how such great pains were taken with certain production values of this show, and yet the criminal aspect is glossed over in almost comical Tony and his crew behaved the way they did in the real world, they'd have been whacked after the first episode.. If you really want to see a real Mafia drama, (and see how the mob really works) watch Goodfellas or Donnie pay attention.. DO YOU AGREE? #1 organized crime show-totally gangster !! 10 By Mooser1971 ,    Jun 03, 2013 This show is smoking awesome !! I love the the cast and everything about the show !! never missed an episode while it was on comcast !! The drama

He's gone grey and has put on a bit of weight since his ITV days. As far as I'm aware he's still doing a lot of corporate work. I believe he's out of the closet now as well. His son, from his now-ended marriage, is a producer at Sky Sports.   Location: Carmarthenshire, South Wales Posts: 1,851 I'd certainly agree with Arthur Montford & Bob Crampsey for football. Sir Peter O'Sullevan & Micheal O'Hehir for racing. Peter Allis for golf and Richie Benaud for cricket.   Agree with many of your choices Unable to give less than a top ten for me David Vine - faultless anchorman, with great authority, clarity of voice and versatility. its ten years since his last commentary for the BBC and I still miss his voice Alan Weeks - Another Mr Versatile, pretty sure no other British TV commentator has commentated on so many gold medals at summer and winter Olympic Games. Great moments with his commentary must be Olga Korbut's floor routine in Munich and the USA Ice Hockey win in 1980 Hugh Johns - A hero of mine, such authority and when required a great turn of phrase, I know Brian Moore is beloved by many but for me he was ITV's number one Harry Rigby - legend of Stockport and Crown bowling for years. His description "thats the most expensive stamp in bowling since the penny black" is one of the best lines I've ever heard. Eddie Waring - adored the man, at his peak in the 60's and 70's he was a great caller, that left many a term for others to use. The RL purists thought he did the game down, but he loved the sport and for me he joins Ted Lowe and Murray Walker as the voices who enhanced their sport to millions. Peter Jones - I know its radio but he was a peerless broadcaster and at his finest the best football commentator in television or radio Ron Pickering - Such power and definition in his voice, I recall at the LA Olympic Games when Carl Lewis anchored the sprint relay the phrase "the big man has the baton and history is being made" as the roar from the crowd reached its peak Raymond Brooks Ward - Had the ability to make me interested in sports I had little or no time for through his sheer enthusiasm for show jumping and eventing and the people and equine heroes involved Kent Walton - I know many will decry what he covered for World Of Sport, but the timbre and sheer quality of his voice added to his style of delivery was matchless. When the old wrestling shows were repeated on satellite tv, couldnt care less about the action, but the voice had the hairs standing up on the back of my neck and lastly David Coleman - if you heard his voice at a sporting event you knew this was important and not to be missed, will never be replaced, hard to believe a decade has passed since his last commentary - the mens marathon at the Sydney 2000 Olympic Games Apologies for the length of this message folks, these are my heroes and to honest I could have named ten more.   Originally Posted by Glenn A Peter West for the cricket and if you want to really go back, Peter Dimmock, the ultimate BBC gentleman presenter.

In which Hollywood hotel was singer Janis Joplin found dead of an accidental heroin dose?

Celebrity Hotel Deaths - Travel Chimp's Hospitality and Travel News   Travel Chimp's Hospitality and Travel News A number of celebrities have died in hotel rooms, many of them at a very young age and with drugs as the main or secondary cause. Here's a list I've compiled. Norfolk Waterside Marriott Downtown, Norfolk, VA Former NBA player Moses Malone was found dead in his hotel room on the morning of Sept. 13, 2015. He was 60. A medical examiner determined the cause of death to be cardiovascular disease. Malone was a three-time NBA Most Valuable Player and a member of the NBA's 50th Anniversary All-Time Team and ABA All-Time Team . He went straight from Petersburg High School in Virginia to a 21-year career in professional basketball. By the time Malone retired after 19 seasons, he was the last former ABA player active and held numerous distinctions in both leagues, including a championship ring and NBA finals MVP trophy won with the 1983 Philadelphia 76ers . A prolific offensive rebounder , he was nicknamed "Chairman of the Boards." According to Malone’s best friend Kevin Vergara, Malone saw a doctor about an irregular heartbeat less than week before his death. The doctor saw nothing wrong but gave Malone a heart monitor, which Malone was wearing when he died. Friends say that Malone didn’t drink or do drugs. He typically skipped sodas and fried food, choosing grilled chicken, fish and salad instead. “He was always very health minded,” said Vergara. “He’s vigorous about working out.” Malone was in Norfolk to attend the Still Hope Foundation Charity Golf Tournament. Although Malone had a reputation of not being very smart, Vergara said that wasn’t the real Malone. “He is very smart. He was a shy person, but when he got to know you he opened up. And he knows the game. He would have been a good coach.” Sunset Marquis Hotel, Los Angeles Dennis Sheehan, longtime tour manager for U2, died of an apparent heart attack in his hotel room on May 27, 2015. He was 68. Despite spending decades in a notoriously dirty business, Sheehan emerged with his reputation largely intact. Over the years he helped manage Led Zeppelin and also worked with Iggy Pop, Patty Smith and Lou Reed. “We’ve lost a family member, we’re still taking it in,” Bono wrote on U2’s Web site. “He wasn’t just a legend in the music business, he was a legend in our band. He is irreplaceable.” Sheehan said in a 2008 interview, “I never drank until I was 30, I never did drugs and I was always honest. I think people knew my history at the time, and knew I was straight and had a sense of responsibility. I always got the job done regardless.” Born in England, Sheehan grew up in Ireland. He played in a band from 13 to 19, doing some professional touring. “On the U.S. Army bases we would play House of the Rising Sun and they would just throw money on the stage,” he said. “We’d play it a half a dozen times a night! It was good fun.” But then he made an unusual move — he stepped offstage. “At 19, I took my first job on the other side of the business,” he said in 2013. The job was tour managing for soul greats Jimmy James and the Vagabonds. Sheehan didn’t miss the spotlight. “I had driven my own band around, and at that point I knew I wasn’t going to miss playing very much.” Of U2 he recently said, “The band works incredibly hard, and they go to extreme lengths to achieve what they want. With many bands, you get to a peak and that’s it. With U2 they are still climbing that mountain.” Hotel Room, St. Gallen, Switzerland Johnny Winter, an American blues rock guitarist known for his virtuoso slide-guitar solos and raspy vocals, was found dead in a hotel room outside Zurich on July 16, 2014. Winter was 70.  Along with his brother, Edgar Winter, also a well known blues musician, the Texas-born Winter revered African-American blues tradition and began performing in his teens. Johnny, distinctive because he and brother Edgar were albino, broke into national fame in 1968, when Rolling Stone magazine dubbed him the hottest musician outside Janis Jopli


Psittacosis is a contagious disease that affects which type of birds?

Pneumonia | Psittacosis | CDC Psittacosis   Clinical Features In humans, fever, chills, headache, muscle aches, and a dry cough. Pneumonia is often evident on chest x-ray. Etiologic Agent Chlamydia psittaci, a gram-negative bacterium; the bacterium was previously known as Chlamydophila psittaci. Incidence Since 2010, fewer than 10 confirmed cases are reported in the United States each year. More cases may occur that are not correctly diagnosed or reported. Sequelae Endocarditis, hepatitis, and neurologic complications may occasionally occur. Severe pneumonia requiring intensive-care support may also occur. Fatal cases have been reported but are rare. Transmission Birds are the natural reservoirs of C. psittaci and infection is usually acquired by inhaling dried secretions from infected birds. The incubation period is 5 to 19 days. Although all birds are susceptible, pet birds (parrots, parakeets, macaws, and cockatiels) and poultry (turkeys and ducks) are most frequently involved in transmission to humans. Personal protective equipment (PPE), such as gloves and appropriate masks, should be used when handling birds or cleaning their cages. Risk Groups Bird owners, aviary and pet shop employees, poultry workers, and veterinarians. Outbreaks of psittacosis in poultry processing plants have been reported. Treatment Tetracyclines are the treatment of choice. Surveillance Psittacosis is a reportable condition in most states. Trends Annual incidence varies considerably because of periodic outbreaks. A decline in reported cases since 1988 may be the result of improved diagnostic tests that distinguish C. psittaci from more common C. pneumoniae infections. Challenges Diagnosis of psittacosis can be difficult. Serologic tests are often used to confirm a diagnosis, but antibiotic treatment may prevent an antibody response, thus limiting diagnosis by serologic methods. Infected birds are often asymptomatic. Tracebacks of infected birds to distributors and breeders often is not possible because of limited regulation of the pet bird industry. Opportunities Characterize new and rapid diagnostic tests for human and avian psittacosis, and determine value of screening flocks for avian psittacosis to prevent human infection.


The ‘Chorleywood Process’ is used in the making of which foodstuff?

Chorleywood Bread Process Chorleywood Bread Process The Chorleywood Bread Process, the method that makes bread production possible on a large scale, was invented in 1961 and ranks as one of the most significant inventions of the last five decades and actually is ‘the greatest thing since sliced bread’. According to research, 57% of us believe the process should be celebrated as an iconic invention, alongside the likes of the internet, space travel and the mobile phone – despite nine in 10 of us actually not knowing the name of it! Since the household favourite was introduced into our homes in 1961 – we’ve been hooked. The system uses the finest British wheat to produce over nine million loaves of bread each day – revolutionising breakfast, lunch and dinner times across the country in the process – from toast, sandwiches, bread and butter pudding and coating dishes in breadcrumbs. What’s more; despite the proliferation of ‘trendy’ artisan bread – the sliced white loaf is still the only choice for three quarters of us (76%) when making a sandwich or packed lunch. Not only do we love the taste – it saves us time. For one in ten (11%) adults it saves between 4 and 10 minutes every day or an astonishing 43 hours every year – just by buying a sliced loaf. It is environmental and ecologically sound too – as it reduces the level of waste, by staying fresher longer. Four in 10 claim that they would waste the bread if they didn’t buy wrapped sliced. Celebrity chef, Antony Worrall Thompson said “Whilst it is great that there is so much choice when it comes to bread products on the market, sliced bread is the first choice for families who are looking for a versatile and healthy foodstuff. Toast it and serve with marmalade or marmite to make a quick breakfast, use it to make sandwiches or as an ingredient in puddings. There are so many different ways to enjoy bread, so why not get creative in the kitchen.” So, what’s different about the Chorleywood system? The main difference is that is replaces the slow mixing and kneading process of traditional breadmaking with a much faster mix and a reduced first proving time. After that, the dough is treated in the same way, being moulded and proved for about an hour before baking. This reduces the amount of time required to bake a loaf by about an hour compared with traditional bakeries. It also means that flour with less protein (ie gluten) can be used, helping the mills to use more British grown wheat, which is naturally lower in protein than Canadian or US wheat which had been used previously.

Fotheringhay Castle is in which English county?

Fotheringhay Castle (The Gatehouse Record) Description Fotheringhay Castle is a fine example of a large motte and bailey castle strategically placed beside a river crossing. The earthworks of the site are largely undisturbed and documentary evidence indicates that a diversity of archaeological features are likely to be preserved on the site. The castle has well documented royal connections from the Norman period and also has particular historical significance as the prison and execution place of Mary Queen of Scots. The motte and bailey castle at Fotheringhay lies at the south eastern end of the present village close to the River Nene. The castle consists of a substantial earthwork motte, an inner bailey and the remains of the outer bailey earthworks. The motte is a steep-sided round mound approximately 7m high and about 70m in diameter. The top of the mound is flattened and about 30m across with an irregular surface, indicating the remains of the stone keep. A ditch up to 4m deep and 20m wide is visible on the north and west sides of the motte. Originally this ditch is thought to have encircled the mound. A ditch of similar size surrounds the inner and outer bailey areas. The inner bailey is sub-rectangular and measures about 50m x 65m and retains traces of an earthern rampart. At the north east corner of the outer bailey near the river are the remains of a sluice gate associated with the water management system of the bailey ditches. The outer bailey ditch on the north and west sides has been largely infilled. The castle is considered to have been built by Simon de St Liz, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, who married Judith, a niece of William the Conqueror. From the late 13th century the castle took on the dual role of royal palace and state prison. The castle was enlarged and rebuilt in the late 14th century by Edmund Langley, son of Edward III, and it is thought that the outer bailey dates from this period, as does the infilling of the east side of the motte ditch. Records indicate that in 1341 a stone tower stood on the motte, and within the inner bailey were two chapels, a great hall, chambers and a kitchen. A gatehouse stood beside a drawbridge over the inner bailey ditch. A further gatehouse existed in the north west corner of the outer bailey, and a group of buildings known as The Manor lay north west of the motte on the site of Castle Farm. Mary Queen of Scots was imprisoned in the castle in 1586, and eventually executed there in 1587. The castle was abandoned in the 17th century and by the early 18th century was demolished. In the 19th century the moat on the west side was infilled. (Scheduling Report) Fotheringhay Castle (TL 062929) lies at the S.E. end of the village, adjacent to the R. Nene, on gravel at 50 ft. above OD. It was probably built by Simon de St. Liz, Earl of Huntingdon and Northampton, who married the daughter of Judith, Countess of Huntingdon and niece of the Conqueror. The present motte and inner bailey or court are probably his work. It does not appear to have been important as a military stronghold, and from the late 13th century it took on the dual role of royal palace and State prison. It was apparently considerably rebuilt and enlarged in the late 14th century by Edmund Langley, son of Edward III, and the outer bailey or court may date from this period, as perhaps does the infilling of the motte ditch on the E. side. Other alterations and additions were made in the 15th century but these do not now survive. The castle was abandoned in the 17th century and a gradual process of demolition of all its walls and buildings was largely completed by the early 18th century. The few remaining building fragments still standing by the late 19th century were incorporated into the barns of the present Castle Farm by Lord Overstone who also filled in the former moat on the W. side of the site. There are a number of descriptions of the castle at various dates. The most complete is that of 1341 before it was enlarged, and this seems to indicate that only the motte, then with a stone tower, and the pr


During which month of the year is Oak Apple Day (Royal Oak Day) celebrated?

Facts about Royal Oak Day Back to Facts of the Day Calendar UK Calendar dates british festivals .... folklore ... anniversaries .... on this day Royal Oak Day 29 May Royal Oak Day (Oak Apple Day) was a public holiday celebrated in England on 29 May to commemorate the restoration of the English monarchy, in May 1660. “Parliament had ordered the 29th of May, the King’s birthday, to be forever kept as a day of thanksgiving for our redemption from tyranny and the King’s return to his Government, he returning to London that day." Samuel Pepys’s Diary 1st June 1660 Commonwealth of England The English Civil War 1642-1649 was fought between the royalist forces loyal to King Charles I and the parliamentarians led by Oliver Cromwell. The Royalist were defeated at the Battle of Naseby in 1645 and Charles I was caught and executed on 30 January 1649. Cromwell declared Britain a republic 'The Commonwealth' and went on to become  it's Lord Protector. Following his death in 1658 Cromwell was succeeded briefly by his son Richard before the monarchy was restored and Charles II became king on 29 May 1660. How was Oak Apple Day marked? Oak Apple Day was a time for dancing and parties. To show their support for the monarchy, people wore sprigs of oak leaves or a sprig with an oak apple on (gall produced in oak buds by wasps). On 29 May, children would challenge each other to show their oak sprigs or apples, and those not wearing one would face some form of punishment, varying  from one place to another. "Pinch-Bum-Day" - a pinch on the bottom "Nettle Day" - whipping with nettles "The wise boy wore his oak leaves, armed himselves (sic) with a stinging nettle  and carried a few dock leaves for first aid just in case" Bibliography of  Nottinghamshire Folk Plays & Related Customs In some areas it was necessary to wear the oak sprig only until noon; after that one was safe In the 1890s many railway engines were decorated with boughs of oak on 29 May. Why was the Oak chosen to commemorate the return of the monarchy? It is said that King Charles' life was saved after the battle of Worcester in 1651, when he escaped from the Roundhead army by hiding in an oak tree in the grounds of Boscobel House in Staffordshire. How is Oak Apple Day celebrated today? Although the public holiday was abolished in 1859, Oak Apple Day continues to be celebrated in parts of England today. Northhampton still remembers Charles II and his escape after the battle of Worcester. The town is also grateful to Charles II, for giving the citizens one thousand tons of timber from the Royal forests of Whittlewood, after a great fire almost razed the town in 1675. A garland of oak-apples is laid at Charles II's statue each year. London too celebrates 29 May at the Royal Hospital, Chelsea, which Charles founded as a home for Army pensioners. The Chelsea Pensioners parade on this day for inspection by a member of the Royal Family in honour of King Charles II. Castleton Garland Day is held on Oak Apple Day (unless this is a  Sunday when proceedings will take place on the Saturday.) It is custom that has been celebrated in Castleton for hundreds of years, originally, possibly as a fertility rite, but today it is said to commemorate the restoration of Charles II. The Garland is 3 feet high and is made from a wooden frame to which  small bunches of wild flowers and leaves are tied. It is worn by a man dressed in Stuart costume Castleton Garland In Worcester, the 'Faithful City', Oak Apple Day is commemorated by  decorating the entrance gate to Worcester's Guildhall with oak branches and  leaves. The Oak Tree is a symbol of England The image of the Royal Oak can be pubs and hotels signs, on stamps and also on coins (£1). There have also been numerous naval ships, a train and a London underground station named ‘The Royal Oak’. Pub Sign

What was the name of the ship that housed pirate radio station Radio Caroline, which sank in March 1980?

radio caroline : definition of radio caroline and synonyms of radio caroline (English) Planet Sales Ltd   Radio Caroline origins   The MV Mi Amigo, c. 1974, which had been used as the home of Radio Caroline South from 1964-1967 Radio Caroline was begun by Irish musician manager and businessman Ronan O'Rahilly . O'Rahilly failed to obtain airplay on Radio Luxembourg for Georgie Fame 's records because its airtime was committed to sponsored programmes promoting the major record labels; EMI , Decca , Pye and Philips . Encouraged by the presence of the Scandinavian and Dutch pirates, Ronan O'Rahilly raised the capital to purchase a suitable vessel. In February 1964, O'Rahilly obtained the 702 ton former Danish passenger ferry, Fredericia, which was converted into a radio ship at the Irish port of Greenore , owned by O'Rahilly's father. At the same time, Allan Crawford's Project Atlanta organisation was equipping the MV Mi Amigo at Greenore, where the two competed to be first on air. [4] Financial backing for the venture came from six investors, including Jocelyn Stevens of Queen magazine , with which Radio Caroline shared its first office. [5] O'Rahilly named the station after Caroline Kennedy , daughter of U.S. President John F. Kennedy . [6] On a fund-raising trip to the US, O'Rahilly saw Life Magazine's photograph of Kennedy and his children in the Oval Office . Caroline Kennedy was playing and disrupting the business of government, the image he wanted for his station. [7] O'Rahilly's claims were re-examined[ by whom? ]; the photos of the three together exist and one of John Jr under the desk exists.[ clarification needed ] [8]   First transmissions This section needs additional citations for verification . Please help improve this article by adding citations to reliable sources . Unsourced material may be challenged and removed . (June 2011) The Fredericia was renamed MV Caroline and was ancored off Felixtowe, where it began test transmissions on Friday, 27 March 1964. On Saturday, 28 March, it began regular programming at noon on 197 metres (1520 kHz, announced as 199 metres) with the official opening being conducted by Simon Dee . [4] The first programme, which was pre-recorded, was hosted by Chris Moore. Radio Caroline's first musical theme was Jimmy McGriff 's "Round Midnight", a jazz standard composed by Thelonious Monk . In March 1964, Birmingham band The Fortunes recorded the song Caroline, which later became the station's theme song. Round Midnight was confined to close down on Radio Caroline North after The World Tomorrow programme. The station's slogan was Your all-day music station, and it initially broadcast from 6am-6pm, seven days a week. Radio Caroline announced a wavelength of 199 metres,rhyming with the station's name, but was actually on 197.3 metres (1520 kHz ). [nb 1] The Dutch offshore station Radio Veronica was on 192 metres (1562 kHz). Radio Atlanta broadcast on 201 metres (1495 kHz). Radio Caroline's power was almost 20 kW , achieved by linking two 10 kW Continental Electronics transmitters together. Its broadcasting hours were between 6 am to 6 pm to avoid competition from Radio Luxembourg . Later, after its 6 pm close-down, the station returned to the air after 8 pm and continued until after midnight. This was to avoid direct competition with popular television programmes. Most of Radio Caroline's pop music programmes were aimed at housewives. Later in the day, children were targeted. Without serious competition, Radio Caroline quickly gained a daytime audience of several million listeners.   Merger with Radio Atlanta   Emperor Rosko On 2 July 1964, Radio Atlanta and Radio Caroline's companies, Project Atlanta and Planet Productions Ltd., announced that the stations were to be merged, with Crawford and O'Rahilly as joint managing directors. At 8pm that day, Radio Atlanta closed. Radio Atlanta was re-branded Radio Caroline South and MV Mi Amigo remained off Frinton-on-Sea while the MV Caroline would broadcast as Radio Caroline North. MV Caroline sailed from Felixstowe around the coast of Great Br


Which famous concert venue is located at 881 Seventh Avenue, New York?

Carnegie Hall Carnegie Hall Carnegie Hall Carnegie Hall  is a concert venue in Midtown Manhattan in New York City located at 881 Seventh Avenue, occupying the east stretch of Seventh Avenue between West 56th Street and West 57th Street. Built by philanthropist Andrew Carnegie in 1891, it is one of the most famous venues in the United States for classical music and popular music, renowned for its beauty, history and acoustics. Carnegie Hall has its own artistic programming, development, and marketing departments, and presents about 100 performances each season. It is also rented out to performing groups. The hall has not had a resident company since the New York Philharmonic moved to Lincoln Center's Philharmonic Hall in 1962. Other concert halls that bear Carnegie's name include: 420-seat Carnegie Hall in Lewisburg, West Virginia; 1928-seat Carnegie Music Hall in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on the site of the Carnegie Museum of Natural History and the main branch of the Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh; 1022-seat Carnegie Music Hall annexed to Pittsburgh suburb Homestead's Carnegie library; and 540-seat Carnegie Hall, in Andrew Carnegie's native Dunfermline, Scotland, Performing arts venues Carnegie Hall contains three distinct, separate concert halls: the Main Hall, the Recital Hall and the Chamber Music Hall. The Main Hall Carnegie Hall's main auditorium seats 2,804 on five levels. It was named for the violinist Isaac Stern in 1997. The Main Hall is enormously tall, and visitors to the top balcony must climb 105 steps. All but the top level can be reached by elevator. Most of the greatest performers of classical music since the time the hall was built have performed in the Main Hall, and its lobbies are adorned with signed portraits and memorabilia. Several popular music legends have given memorable performances at the hall including Judy Garland and Dame Shirley Bassey, both of whom recorded live albums at the hall. The smaller halls Zankel Hall, which seats 599, is named for Judy and Arthur Zankel. Originally called simply "Recital Hall," this was the first auditorium to open to the public in April, 1891. Following renovations made in 1896, it was renamed Carnegie Lyceum. It was leased to the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1898, converted to a cinema around 1959, and was reclaimed to be used as an auditorium in 1997. The newly reconstructed hall opened in September 2003.[6][7] Because of its location below street level, passing subways can be heard through the walls. Weill Recital Hall, which seats 268, is named for Sanford I. Weill, the chairman of Carnegie Hall's board, and his wife Joan. This auditorium, in use since the hall opened in 1891, was originally called "Chamber Music Hall" (later Carnegie Chamber Music Hall); the name was changed to Carnegie Recital Hall in the late 1940s, and finally became Weill Recital Hall in 1986. Other facilities The building also contains the Carnegie Hall Archives, established in 1986, and the Rose Museum, which opened in 1991. Studios above the Hall contain working spaces for artists in the performing and graphic arts including music, drama, dance, as well as architects, playwrights, literary agents, photographers, and painters. In 2007, the Carnegie Hall Corporation announced plans to evict the 33 remaining studio residents (some residing in the building since the 1950's) and use the space for educational facilities Architecture Carnegie Hall ExteriorCarnegie Hall is one of the last large buildings in New York built entirely of masonry, without a steel frame; however, when several flights of studio spaces were added to the building near the turn of the 20th century, a steel framework was erected around segments of the building. The exterior is rendered in narrow Roman bricks of a mellow ochre hue, with details in terracotta and brownstone. The foyer avoids contemporary Baroque theatrics with a high-minded exercise in the Florentine Renaissance manner of Filippo Brunelleschi's Pazzi Chapel: white plaster and gray stone form a harmonious system of round-headed arched openings


In February 2007 which Welsh town was twinned with Timbuktu in Africa?

About About opzini binarie siti truffa How did a small town in the Welsh borders come to be twinned with an ancient seat of learning on the edge of the Sahara?     In 2007, Timbuktu began the search for a UK community with which to establish a partnership.  Hay eventually beat off competition from around the UK to be chosen as Timbuktu’s twin, recognising a shared love of the written word and the special resonance between the two communities.  Hay2Timbuktu (H2T) was officially formed, with a vision to:   “gather the people of Timbuktu and Hay-on-Wye to share, exchange and celebrate our unique character, resourcefulness and goodwill to the mutual benefit and enrichment of our two communities”   Understanding and respecting difference is an underpinning principle of Hay2Timbuktu. Our link with “The South”, with a city in one of the poorest nations in the world, will bring a global dimension to ourlives here in Wales.    Hay2Timbuktu is founded on the firm belief that we must reach out to Africa in order to strengthen our own community and to help safeguard the often fragile way of life of our partners in The South.  This is very much a two-way process, and we have much to learn from one another.   But we believe that through goodwill, sustained commitment and genuine friendship our two communities will prosper together.   http://swazilandforum.com/?n=opzioni-binarie-di-tutti-i-titoli-del-ftsemib opzioni binarie di tutti i titoli del ftsemib


Who plays George Carter in the 2012 film ‘The Sweeney’?

Video: Ray Winstone and Plan B at The Sweeney premiere - Telegraph Film Video Ray Winstone and Plan B at The Sweeney premiere In Nick Love's big-screen remake, Winstone plays Flying Squad chief Jack  Regan, the role made famous by the late John Thaw in the gritty 1970s cop  series, while rapper Ben Drew (aka Plan B) portrays his loyal partner George  Carter. 8:47AM BST 04 Sep 2012 Winstone – who was joined by daughter Jaime and wife Elaine at the premiere – was given one of his first jobs was as an extra on the TV show which originally aired between 1975 and 1978, and was made into two films. He admitted it was difficult to step into the shoes of the late actor, John Thaw, who was latterly famous for his role as inspector Morse, who originally played the character of Jack Regan. "I can't play it like John Thaw played it. I would never attempt to. We've just brought what we think today's market wants, and we've made a good film," he added. The Sweeney, short for Sweeney Todd, is cockney rhyming slang for Flying Squad – a branch of London's Metropolitan police force that specialises in violent crime. Actor and musician Ben Drew – aka Plan B – plays Carter's sidekick. He said his role was important to bridge the generation gap. Related Content

Smiriti is a religious text containing traditional teaching in which religion?

Heart of Hinduism: Hindu Sacred Books Hindu Sacred Books Hinduism has no single scripture but many. They include the Vedas and their corollaries sometimes called collectively "the Vedic scriptures." There are two main divisions: shruti – that which is heard (revealed truth) smriti – that which is remembered (realised truth) Sanskrit is the language of most canonical texts, but many subsidiary texts are written in the vernacular. The concept of Hinduism being a single monolithic religion is recent, dating   back only to the 19th century. Many scholars liken Hinduism to a family of   religions, with all affiliated members bearing a family resemblance. Thus   any definition of Hinduism is somewhat arbitrary and requires qualification.   One such definition is "the followers of Vaidika Dharma," or those   who follow the religious teachings outlined in the Vedas and their corollaries. Hindu religious literature is divided into two main categories: Shruti – that which has been heard Smriti – that which has been remembered Shruti is canonical, consisting of revelation and unquestionable truth, and is considered eternal. It refers mainly to the Vedas themselves. Smriti is supplementary and may change over time. It is authoritative only   to the extent that it conforms to the bedrock of shruti. There are different opinions about the relative validity and importance of each. Some Hindus stress the foundational importance of shruti, whereas others say that in making truths accessible, smriti is more important today. Belief in universal truth suggests to some Hindu thinkers that any teaching that corresponds to real knowledge can also be accepted as "Veda." Hence there are numerous writings considered to be "Vedic," including many vernacular works. It is important to note that: The divide between Shruti and Smriti is often contested. The divide is not discrete but can be represented as a continuum, with some texts more canonical than others. Most key texts are written in classical Sanskrit, considered the sacred language   of the gods. The script itself is termed "devanagari" – literally "from the cities of the gods." (For more information on Sanskrit,   please see Sanskrit and Sanskriti ).   Many subsidiary texts, particularly by medieval bhakti writers, are in local   vernaculars, such as Tamil, Brajbasi, Gujarati, and Bengali. The content of Vedic scripture is divided into three main sections, though the third one, upasana-kanda, is sometimes omitted: Karma-kanda – largely dealing with ritual sacrifice aimed at enjoyment (world-accepting) Jnana-kanda – philosophical texts aimed at knowledge through renunciation (world-denying) Upasana kanda – texts focusing on worship of God and service to him (world-accommodating/transcending) These three largely correspond to the three main paths – Karma-yoga, Jnana-yoga, and Bhakti-Yoga (see Four Main Paths ). The most important books in the shruti and smriti are listed below. They are here grouped into ten categories to aid memorisation. The main texts within both shruti and smriti are explored in this section. For popular purposes in the UK, the Ramayana, the Mahabharata, the Puranas and the Bhagavad-gita are most commonly used.

On a standard dart board, what number lies between 16 and 19?

The Dartboard Sequence The Dartboard Sequence The arrangement of the numbers around the circumference of a standard dart board is as shown below     20 1 18 4 13 6 10 15 2 17 3 19 7 16 8 11 14 9 12 5  Oddly enough, no one seems to know for sure how this particular arrangement was selected. It evidently dates back at least 100 years. Some say the pattern was devised by a carpenter named Brian Gamlin in 1896, while others attribute it to someone named Thomas William Buckle in 1913, but both of these attributions are relatively recent, and neither can be traced back to a contemporary source. Also, although it's clear that the numbers are ordered to mix the large and small together, and possibly to separate numerically close values as far as possible (e.g., 20 is far from 19), no one seems to know of any simple criterion that uniquely singles out this particular arrangement as the best possible in any quantitative sense.  It may be just an accident of history that this particular arrangement has been adopted as the standard dart board format.  It's interesting to consider various possible criteria for choosing a circular arrangement of the first n positive integers. In order to get as "flat" a distribution as possible, we might try to minimize the sum of the squares of each k consecutive terms. For example, setting k = 3, the standard dard board sequence gives  (20+1+18)^2 + (1+18+4)^2 + (18+4+13)^2 + ... + (5+20+1)^2 = 20478  Apparently the standard board layout described above is called the "London" dart board, and there is another, less common, version called the "Manchester" dart board, which has the sequence    20 1 16 6 17 8 12 9 14 5 19 2 15 3 18 7 11 10 13 4 for which the sum of squares of each set of three consecutive numbers is 20454, just slightly less than the London arrangement. In contrast, if we were to arrange the numbers by just inter-weaving the largest and smallest numbers like this     20 1 19 2 18 3 17 4 16 5 15 6 14 7 13 8 12 9 11 10   the resulting sum of squares of each 3 consecutive elements is 20510, so the standard dart boards are, in this sense, more flat distributions.  Needless to say, all of these arrangements are much more flat than the natural monotonic sequence     1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20  which has a sum of 24350.  By the way, note that if the sum of the squares of every sum of three consecutive numbers for a given arrangement is S, then we can form another arrangement with the same sum simply by taking the "21-complement", i.e., subtracting each number from 21. For example, the complement of the standard London arrangement is    1 20 3 17 8 15 11 6 19 4 18 2 14 5 13 10 7 12 9 16 which has the same sum (20478) as the London arrangement. This works because if we begin with an arrangement a,b,c,d,... having the sum   S = (a+b+c)^2 + (b+c+d)^2 + (c+d+e)^2 + ... and replace each of the numbers a,b,c,... with 21-a, 21-b, 21-c,... respectively, the sum S' of this complementary arrangement is   S' = [(21-a)+(21-b)+(21-c)]^2 + [(21-b)+(21-c)+(21-d)]^2 + ...    = [63-(a+b+c)]^2 + [63-(b+c+d)]^2 + ...    = S + 20(63)^2 - 2(63)[(a+b+c)+(b+c+d)+...] Each of the numbers from 1 to 20 appears three times in the summation inside the square brackets in the last term, so that summation equals 630, and hence S' = S. (The same identity applies to the N+1 complement for sums of squares of every sum of k consecutive terms of a circular arrangement of the first N integers.) How would we go about finding the circular arrangement of the integers 1 to 20 that gives the smallest sum of squares of every sum of three consecutive numbers? One possible approach would be to begin with the monotonic arrangement and then check each possible transposition of two numbers to see which one gives the lowest result. Then make that change and repeat the process, at each stage always choosing the transposition that gives the steepest reduction in the sum. This "greedy algorithm" produces arrangements with the following sum

BBC - History : British History Timeline 22 July 1901 The 'Taff Vale' case leads to the birth of the Labour party The Taff Vale Railway Company successfully sued a trade union, the Amalgamated Society of Railway Servants, for the costs of industrial action taken by its members. The Labour Representative Committee, a socialist federation formed in 1900, convinced the trade unions that the political representation of labour was now essential. This organisation later became the Labour party. 31 May 1902 Treaty of Vereeniging ends the Second Boer War The treaty of Vereeniging confirmed British victory over the Boer republics after three years of war, and laid the foundations for the Union of South Africa. Notably, it still ignored the rights of the black population. The cost and conduct of the war prompted concerns that Britain was no longer fit for its imperial role. 11 July 1902 Arthur Balfour succeeds Lord Salisbury as prime minister The Conservatives, led by the Marquess of Salisbury, dominated British politics after the Liberals' split over the issue of 'Home Rule' for Ireland in 1886. Salisbury's successor and nephew, Arthur Balfour, shared with his uncle an interest in foreign imperial policy. He was premier for two-and-a-half years. September 1903 'Lib-Lab' pact enables Labour to break into national politics A secret pact was ratified between the Liberal party and the Labour Representative Committee, which in certain constituencies allowed Labour a free run at elections, unimpeded by a Liberal candidate. In the long run, the pact may have done more to destroy the Liberal party than preserve it. 10 October 1903 Women's Social and Political Union is formed to campaign for women's suffrage The Women's Social and Political Union (WSPU) was founded by six women, of whom Emmeline and Christabel Pankhurst soon became the most prominent. Frustrated at the lack of progress on women's rights, their activities soon became more confrontational, and included prison hunger strikes. 8 April 1904 'Entente Cordiale' is signed between Britain and France This agreement reconciled British and French imperial interests, particularly in Africa, but also marked the end of centuries of intermittent conflict and paved the way for future diplomatic and military cooperation. The two countries were united in their suspicion of Germany's ambitions. Germany, in turn, hoped to persuade Britain to abandon the alliance. 31 March 1905 Germany tests the 'Entente Cordiale' by triggering a crisis in Morocco Wilhelm II visited Tangier to demonstrate German opposition to France's assumption of suzerainty over Morocco, and to test the strength of the Anglo-French entente, which the Germans expected to crumble. It did not, and Britain displayed its commitment to France by initiating military staff talks between the two countries in 1906. 4 December 1905 Liberals form a government under Henry Campbell-Bannerman In November, the Conservative Prime Minister Arthur Balfour tried to expose the divisions within the Liberal opposition by resigning, but his rival Henry Campbell-Bannerman formed a Liberal government and then led it to a smashing success at the polls in January 1906. Armed with an overall majority, the Liberals embarked on a programme of social reform. 10 February 1906 Royal Navy launches the first 'Dreadnought' class battleship HMS 'Dreadnought', the first of a new class of 'all big-gun' battleships, was launched at Portsmouth. It was by far the most powerful battleship afloat, and raised the stakes in the Anglo-German naval arms race. 31 August 1907 Britain and Russia agree an entente on 'spheres of influence' in Asia The two countries agreed spheres of influence in Asia, so freeing Britain from its worries about a Russian invasion of India. But an agreement to resolve imperial disputes took on the appearance of a European pact. The 'Triple Alliance' of Germany, Italy and Austria-Hungary (also known as the 'Central Powers') was faced by a 'Triple Entente' of Britain, France and Russia (also known as the 'Entente Powers'). 8 April 1908 Herbert Asq

Independence Day in India Home   Calendar   Holidays   India   Independence Day Independence Day in India India celebrates Independence Day on August 15 each year.

India's Independence Day is celebrated nationwide on August 15. ©iStockphoto.com/Anantha Vardhan What Do People Do? Independence Day is a day when people in India pay homage to their leaders and those who fought for India's freedom in the past. The period leading up to Independence Day is a time when major government buildings are illuminated with strings of lights and the tricolor flutters from homes and other buildings. Broadcast, print and online media may have special contests, programs, and articles to promote the day. Movies about India's freedom fighters are also shown on television. The president delivers the '"Address to the Nation" on the eve of Independence Day. India's prime minister unfurls India's flag and holds a speech at the Red Fort in Old Dehli. Flag hoisting ceremonies and cultural programs are held in the state capitals and often involve many schools and organizations. Many people spend the day with family members or close friends. They may eat a picnic in a park or private garden, go to a film or eat lunch or dinner at home or in a restaurant. Other people go kite flying or sing or listen to patriotic songs. Public Life Independence Day is a gazetted holiday in India on August 15 each year. National, state and local government offices, post offices and banks are closed on this day. Stores and other businesses and organizations may be closed or have reduced opening hours. Public transport is usually unaffected as many locals travel for celebrations but there may be heavy traffic and increased security in areas where there are celebrations. Independence Day flag raising ceremonies may cause some disruption to traffic, particularly in Dehli and capital cities in India's states. Background The struggle for India's Independence began in 1857 with the Sepoy Mutiny in Meerut. Later, in the 20th century, the Indian National Congress and other political organizations, under the leadership of Mahatma Gandhi, launched a countrywide independence movement. Colonial powers were transferred to India on August 15, 1947. The Constituent Assembly, to who power was to be transferred, met to celebrate India's independence at 11pm on August 14, 1947. India gained its liberty and became a free country at midnight between August 14 and August 15, 1947. It was then that the free India's first prime minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru gave his famous "Tryst with Destiny" speech. People across India are reminded of the meaning of this event - that it marked the start of a new era of deliverance from the British colonialism that took place in India for more than 200 years. Symbols The sport of kite flying symbolizes Independence Day. The skies are dotted with countless kites flown from rooftops and fields to symbolize India's free spirit of India. Kites of various styles, sizes and shades, including the tricolor are available in the marketplaces. The Red Fort in Dehli is also an important Independence Day symbol in India as it is where Indian Prime Minister Jawahar Lal Nehru unveiled India's flag on August 15, 1947. India's national flag is a horizontal tricolor of deep saffron (kesaria) at the top, white in the middle and dark green at the bottom in equal proportion. The ratio of the flag's width to its length is two to three. A navy-blue wheel in the center of the white band represents the chakra. Its design is that of the wheel which appears on the abacus of the Sarnath Lion Capital of Ashoka. Its diameter approximates to the white band's width and it has 24 spokes. Independence Day Observances Note: During a gazetted holiday, government offices and most businesses are closed so people have a day off work. Holiday currently only shown for years 2005–2017.

How many stations are there on the Paris Metro rail system?

The Paris Metro (subway) System - Part 1 THE PARIS METRO: Click on book cover to read a review and to see purchase information. Subscribe to receive updates about DiscoverFrance.net! Your full name THE PARIS METRO, Part 1       If you are lucky enough to have lived in Paris as a young man, then wherever you go for the rest of your life it stays with you, for Paris is a moveable feast. Papa Hemingway, A.E. Hotchner [1966], p.57 Since Paris is such a compact city (roughly 6 miles across), much of it can be covered on foot – especially the primary sightseeing spots in the city's center. There will be times, however, when a métro or bus ride is unavoidable – and even welcome. History of the Métro 1900 cars2 Evidence of plans to build the métropolitain (or the Nécropolitain, as it was dubbed by one wit) existed as early as 1845, though the first line was not completed until July 19, 1900. (Line 1, as it is still called, ran from Porte de Vincennes to Porte Maillot; it has since been extended – from Château de Vincennes to La Défense.) Following the construction of the Eiffel Tower by eleven years, this elegant transportation system stole the show, and remains to this day a model of efficient public transportation. While the engineer Fulgence Bienvenüe was in charge of construction, architect Hector Guimard is credited for the charming and elaborately sculpted Art Nouveau entrances. The system boasts 213 km (132 miles) of track and 16 lines (including two auxiliary lines), shuttling 3553 cars on a precise schedule between 303* stations (not including RER stations), 87 of these offering connections between lines. It is said that every building in Paris is within 500 meters (3/10 mile) of a métro station. Roughly 6 million people per day patronize the métro, which employed 10,141 (not including RER) in 2010. The transit authority which operates and maintains the city's métro system, lines A & B of the RER (express trains), an extensive bus network, and four tram lines is called Régie Autonome des Transports Parisiens. The RATP was created on March 21, 1948, by combining the assets of the Compagnie du Chemin de Fer Métropolitain de Paris (CMP) and the Société des Transports en Commun de la Région Parisienne (STCRP). RATP reported a total of 3.1 billion passenger journeys in 2011 (all forms of transport) and gross revenues of €2.35 billion (from bus, métro, RER fares) in 2012. * Newest stations, lines, and opening dates: "Mairie de Montrouge" (line 4 terminus; 23 March 2013); "Front Populaire" (line 12; 18 December 2012); "Pointe du Lac" (line 8 terminus; 8 October 2011). Station Design métro station platform (line 8) (click to enlarge) Some of the métro stations are worth a visit in their own right. For example, the stop for the Louvre (line 1) gives one the impression that the train has pulled into the Museum itself: the immaculate marble walls are lined with exhibits and replicas of art works, with glass cases containing various sculptures. On a platform of the Richelieu-Drouot station (line 8) is a war memorial , carved in black marble by sculptor Carlo Sarrabezolles in 1931. It is dedicated to the agents of the metropolitan railway who died in service for France during World War I. The Arts et Metiers (line 11) station's platforms were redesigned in 1994 by Belgian comic book artist François Schuiten. The ceiling and walls are clad with riveted copper, punctuated with faux portholes – reminiscent of a Jules Verne science fiction novel. On line 13, Varenne offers exhibits from the nearby Rodin Museum (including a replica of The Thinker ), while Liège is paneled with beautiful ceramic tiles donated by the Belgian government. Abbesses (line 12) features elaborate murals in its 7-story spiral staircase descending beneath one of the more elaborate of Art Nouveau entrances .

Which English monarch founded Eton College?

Eton School Eton School Figure 1.--Boys at many exclusive English public schools wore what we now refrer to as Eton suits. The brothers here are Harrow students and the boys wear their school uniform in an outing with their father about 1910.  The annual cricket match between Eton and Harrow schools, at Lord�s ground, London, is always attended by a large and fashionably dressed gathering. Eton College is one of the best known schools in the world. Americans think of colleges as small universities. Colleges in most of the rest of the world are secondary schools, as is Eton College, albeit a prestigious one. Eton College was founded in 1440, nearly 58 years after the founding of Winchester school, by William Waynflete, Bishop of Winchester, under the patronage of Henry VI--the Scholar King, and with the title of "the College of the Blessed Mary of Eaton beside Windsor."  The buildings were completed between 1491 and 1523. The original buildings consist of two quadrangles containing the chappel, the upper and lower schools, appartments for officials, the library, and offices. The school has produced a long list of distinguished former pupils, including Sir Robert Walpole, Robert Hartley, william Pitt the Elder, Horace Walpole, the Duke of Wellington, Thomas Gray, Percy Bysshe Shelley, William Ewart Gladstone. Location Eton is a Buckinghamshire town on the Thmes River opposite Windsor, within which parliamentary borough it is situated. Eton is best known for its college, perhaps England's best known public school. Foundtion The "King�s College of Our Lady of Eton beside Windsor" was founded by Plantagenet King Henry VI about 1440-41. Henry was known as the "Scholar King". This was early in the King's reign (1429-71). The school was endowed primarily from the revenues of the "alien priories" suppressed by Henry V. Henry donated a huge collection of holy relics among which were fragments of what were supposed to be the True Cross and the Crown of Thorns. Henry's purpose was to provide free education for 70 poor scholars who would continue their education at King�s College, Cambridge--also founded by King Henry. A connection between Eton and Cambridge still continues today. Early School The King in organizing the school used the model established by William of Wykeham at Winchester and New College, Oxford. The original staff at Eton included a provost, priests, 4 clerks, 6 choristers, a schoolmaster, 25 poor and indigent scholars, and the same number of poor men or bedesmen. The King in 1443 made major changes at the College. He increased the number of scholars to 70, and reduced the bedesmen to 13. Early acounts do not paint a educational ideal, rats ran free and the boys had to wash outside using only cold water. King Henry appointed one of his advisores, William of Waynflete, who had been master of Winchester College, in 1443 to be provost at Eton in 1443. Other chanes at Eton was the the establishment of cominensales or commoners who lived in the town of Eton and paid for their education. They were distinct from the scholars; and these now called "oppidans" which now comprise most of the boys. History Early history The College managed to survive the unsettled period at the close of Henry�s reign. The King was murdered in the Tower of London while at prayer.  Edward IV reduced the College's possessions and tried to join it with St George, Windsor Castle. The College's annual revenue in 1506 amounted to �652. Sonations over time and the rise in the value of the College's property have left it now very well endowed. King George III King George III had a special fondness for Eton. The school was located across the Thames from the King's castlle at Windsor. A footbridge across the Thames connects Windsor with Eton. The King was noted for frequently visiting the school and attending official functions. He would talk informally with the masters and boys--many of whom he knew by name. The King would not infrequently entertained at Winsor Castle with the royal family. Eton boys have worn black jacke


Which artist co-wrote and appeared in the 1927 Luis Bunuel film ‘Un Chien Andalou’?

117. UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929) | 366 Weird Movies 117. UN CHIEN ANDALOU (1929) G. Smalley (366weirdmovies) 8 Comments An Andalusian Dog “No idea or image that might lend itself to a rational explanation of any kind would be accepted… We had to open all doors to the irrational and keep only those images that surprised us, without trying to explain why.”–Luis Buñuel on Un Chien Andalou DIRECTED BY: Luis Buñuel FEATURING: Simone Mareuil, Pierre Batcheff PLOT: A man slits open a woman’s eyeball with a straight razor. “Eight years later” another man visits the woman in her apartment and apparently tries to rape her, but finds himself tied to two grand pianos bearing dead donkeys and priests. After further absurd adventures the woman walks through her apartment door and finds her lover on the beach; the happy couple stroll along, though “in spring” they are seen buried in the sand up to their waists, apparently dead. BACKGROUND: Luis Buñuel and Salvador Dalí co-wrote the scenario; each of them would reject an idea suggested by the other if they thought it made too much sense. The concept for the film arose when Buñuel described a dream he had about a cloud slicing the moon like a razor, and Dalí countered with a dream about a man with ants crawling from a hole in his hand. Buñuel appears as the man who sharpens the razor in the opening scene. Dalí appears as one of the priests who finds himself surprised to be tied to a piano. Un Chien Andalou debuted as part of an avant-garde double feature alongside Man Ray’s Les mystères du château de Dé. Buñuel and Dalí reportedly hid behind a curtain and carried rocks in his pocket to defend themselves in case the audience rioted, but were disappointed when the movie was well-received. Un Chien Andalou is sometimes called the first “Surrealist” film. Germaine Dulac’s The Seashell and the Clergymen had debuted a year earlier, but the film’s Surrealist screenwriter Antonin Artaud denounced Dulac’s finished work as distorting his views, and even staged a riot at the film’s opening in protest. Still, Man Ray and Rene Clair had produced films that could easily be called “Surrealist” as early as 1924. There is no doubt that if it was not the first, Un Chien Andalou was at least the most memorable and influential of this small group of experimental films from the 1920s. Un Chien Andalou is widely considered to be one of the most important movies ever made. Roger Ebert called it “the most famous short film ever made,” it is listed in 1001 Movies You Must See Before You Die , and it tied for #28 in Sight and Sound’s influential poll of the greatest films ever made (1992 edition), among other honors. INDELIBLE IMAGE: We chose an indelible image for every movie that makes the List of the 366 Best Weird Movies , and the choice is not always obvious. Un Chien Andalou is a relief in that there’s no possible controversy over our selection of the eyeball slitting sequence as the film’s unforgettable moment. This is one of the most iconic moments in all of cinema; no one can watch it without wincing. It is also the film’s only obvious metaphor: the razor is Un Chien Andalou and the eye is the spectator, and this is what the one intends to do to the other. WHAT MAKES IT WEIRD: The word “surreal” is thrown about a lot when talking about unusual Short clip from Un Chien Andalou films. Un Chien Andalou is the real deal, the original Surrealist sensation whose impact all the others have been trying to imitate to for almost a century. It is the undiluted essence of the pure unconscious spilled onto celluloid like vitreous humor. At a mere 17 minutes it’s the perfect length for a pure Surrealist movie; it hits hard and never overstays its welcome. It’s shocking, disturbing, full of marvels and uncomfortably hilarious; in other words, weird, weird, weird. COMMENTS: A cloud hits the moon. Eyeball jelly oozes around a straight razor. A man rides a bicycle dressed as a nun. Ants pour from a hole in his hand. In the street below a woman pokes at a severed hand with a stick. Breasts turn into buttocks. A man pulls two p
