Covering 75,000 square km, what is the world's largest river delta?

Delta - The shape of the land, Forces and changes, Spotlight on famous forms, For More Information Delta Delta Photo by: krosbona Deltas have long played an important role in human history. These fertile areas    where rivers flow into large bodies of water have served as fishing,    farming, and living sites. Of the great deltas around the world, perhaps    none has had a greater role in civilization than the delta of    Egypt's Nile River. Greek historian Herodotus (c. 484–c. 425 B.C.E. ), considered by many as the "Father of History," studied    this great geologic feature. He is credited with coining the term "delta" for this type of landform because its triangular    shape reminded him of the Greek letter ∆ (delta). The shape of the land A delta is a body of sediment deposited at the mouth of a river or stream    where it enters an ocean or lake. Unlike other landforms affected by    running water, a delta is not created primarily by water cutting into or    eroding the landscape (erosion is the gradual wearing away of Earth    surfaces through the action of wind and water). Water does not tear down a    delta; instead, it builds up a delta. A river creates a delta by laying down sediment or rock debris such as    gravel, sand, silt, and clay that it has picked up and carried along its    course. Alluvium (pronounced ah-LOO-vee-em) is the general term for    sediment deposited by running water. A river's depth, its width,    and its speed determine how much sediment it can carry. The Mississippi    River flows at an average surface speed of about 2 miles (3 kilometers)    per hour. Yet it drains between 1.2 and 1.8 million square miles (3.1 and    4.6 million square kilometers), which is more than 40 percent of the total    area of the continental United States. Over the course of a year, it moves    an average of 159 million tons (144 million metric tons) of sediment. In general, deltas are similar in shape to another type of landform    deposited by flowing water, alluvial (pronounced ah-LOO-vee-al) fans. A river creates a delta, like that of the Colorado River, seen here,       by laying down sediment or rock debris that it has picked up and       carried along its course. PHOTOGRAPH REPRODUCED BY PERMISSION OF THE CORBIS CORPORATION . Found typically in desert and other arid (dry) environments, these fanlike    deposits of sediment form where an intermittent, yet rapidly flowing    canyon or mountain stream spills out onto a plain or relatively flat    valley. An alluvial fan is a landform that forms on land. A delta is a    landform that forms in water. (For further information on alluvial fans,    see the Dune and other desert features chapter.) A delta may be divided into three main zones: upper delta plain, lower    delta plain, and subaqueous (pronounced sub-AY-kwee-us) delta plain. The    upper delta plain is that part of the delta that is farthest inland. It    lies above the high tide mark and is not affected by the action of waves    or tides. (Tide is the periodic rising and falling of water in oceans and    other large bodies of water in response to the gravitational attraction of    the Moon and the Sun upon Earth.) The river or stream that forms the delta    begins to divide in the upper delta plain into smaller channels called    distributaries, which carry sediments toward the delta's edges.    Immediately seaward of the upper delta plain is the lower delta plain. It    occupies the area between high and low tides and, thus, periodically lies    underwater. The landscape is affected by the action of distributaries,    tides, and waves. Finally, the subaqueous delta plain is that part of the    delta that lies below the low tide mark and, as a result, lies completely    underwater. The tug of war between land and water determines a delta's shape.    It is a battle that pits the strength of a river's flow and the    amount of sediment it carries against wave and t


Swaying and dancing with hoops, like the modern hula hoop, has distant ancestors as well as current cousins, but not including...?

Lomilomi Articles: History of Hula presented to the correct recipients, toward a positive and significant end." The Hana Kupono hula protocol and ceremony almost always involves words, presented usually in the form of oli, or chant. Chant takes the "mana" power of words, themselves recognized as highly significant in the Hawaiian  culture, and extends that power of words to a more profound level; both the dances and the chants contain a magic an a magnetism that transcends their external power and beauty, filling both dancer and audience with Aloha. "Whatever the situation, Hawaiian protocol is based on a foundation of values that are important to everyone, regardless of their ancestry or upbringing. These are fundamentals such as respect for others and for the land, an attitude of sharing and responsibility for maintaining a balance between self and society and between human beings and the rest of the universe." ~ Samuel M. Ohukaniohia Gon III, Ph.D. Senior Scientist and Cultural Advisor, The Nature Conservancy of Hawaii Hula Photo Courtesy of Eddie Crisostomo ~ Hula dancers: Pomaikai Klein and  Bobby Godinez Jr. "The power (mana) of a chant, lies in its hidden meanings, or kaona. Hidden meanings, such as rain as a metaphor for love, could make a chant both a recounting of an actual event within a family's history, or it could tell of the love and passion that one person might feel for another, depending on who heard and understood the chant." Chants: Mele Of Antiquity by Betty Fullard-Leo   Traditional hula music included chanting, most of which was influenced by religion. "Chants fall into two broad categories, mele oli and mele hula. In pre-contact Hawai'i, mele was the word for "poetic language;" it has since evolved to mean song. In early Hawai'i, there was no melodic singing such as Westerners were accustomed to. Special bards, or haku mele, spent years learning to compose, recite and teach others to perform the ancient chants. Chanters began training as children. One popular training competition involved two youngsters lying chest down facing the sun beside a placid pool of water. Each inhaled, the slowly whispered, "na'u-u-u-u," while a third judged who could sustain the hum the longest by watching the rippling water. Breath control came from the chest, and training sessions could go on for hours with a student imitating the sound of breaking waves or the roar of a waterfall."  ..." The complexity of the chants of ancient Hawai'i reveals a race of quick-witted people, poetic and finely attuned to nature in their imagery, themes and kaona (hidden or double meanings)." ~ Chants: Mele Of Antiquity by Betty Fullard-Leo   ‘I le’a ka hula I ka ho’opa’a The hula is pleasing because of the drummer.  This proverb refers to the importance of small details that can make something become great and pleasing. The most tradition instrument used for the hula is the drum called pahu. It stands two to three feet high and is made from the trunk of either the coconut or breadfruit tree. In accompaniment to the pahu is the puniu. The puniu/coconut knee drum is made from half of a coconut shell with the skin of the kala fish stretched over it. Another drum often used is the double gourd called ipu heke. Other commonly used instruments are the 'uli'uli (feather-decorated gourd rattle), pu'ili (split bamboo rattle), 'ili'ili (water-worn stone pebbles, two in each hand, played in a manner similar to castanets), and kala'au (sticks). There is a close correspondence between the foot motifs and the rhythmic patterns of the instruments (particularly the ipu and pahu). Nowadays, the traditional instruments used for the hula has been replaced by the guitar and ukulele. The Hawaiian folk music also includes simple melodies and rhythms influenced by poetry. Although it originated for rituals and religious ceremonies. The music is written in 4/4 time with an accent on the first and third beats. The hula has a steady beat. Some songs are “I wish I were a bird,” “The Multiplication Table,” “I can hop,” and “Eight Islands.” There are many other son


Which Polynesian island nation of 4 reef islands and 5 true atolls in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia, formerly known as the Ellice Islands, became fully independent within the Commonwealth in 1978?

About TUVALU | TUVALU PAVILION About TUVALU Tuvalu, formerly known as the Ellice Islands, is a Polynesian island nation located in the Pacific Ocean, midway between Hawaii and Australia. It comprises three reef islands and six true atolls spread out from 6° to 10° south. Its nearest neighbors are Kiribati, Nauru, Samoa and Fiji. Its population about 12,000 makes it the third-least populous sovereign state in the world. In 1974, the Ellice Islanders voted for separate British dependency status. As a consequence Tuvalu separated from the Gilbert Islands which became Kiribati. Tuvalu became fully independent within the Commonwealth on 1 October 1978. On 5 September 2000, Tuvalu became the 189th member of the United Nations. Tuvalu is a Parliamentary Democracy and Commonwealth realm with Queen Elizabeth II serving as the country's head of state and bearing the title Queen of Tuvalu. Since the Queen does not reside in the islands, she is represented in Tuvalu by a Governor General appointed by the Queen upon the advice of the country's elected Prime Minister.  Tuvalu participates in the work of Secretariat of the Pacific Community, or SPC (sometimes Pacific Community) and is a member of the Pacific Islands Forum, the Commonwealth of Nations and the United Nations. Tuvalu has maintained a mission at the United Nations in New York City since 2000. Tuvalu is a member of the World Bank and the Asian Development Bank. According to some climate secence institutes, Tuvalu was predicted will as the first nation sink by sea level rising, Recently estimated as the first country vanishing as the sea level rises, Tuvalu was on the media spot light all over the world. On 2012, during the Diamond Jubilee of Queen Elizabeth, the Britain’s royal family sent its most popular stars - Prince William and Princess Catherine - to visit Tuvalu, the smallest member of the British Commonwealth, for awakening to the threat of climate changes. 張貼時間： 22nd March 2013 ，張貼者： Tuvalu Pavilion

What title did King Edward VIII of the UK take after his abdication?

The History Place - Great Speeches Collection: Edward VIII Speech - Abdicating the Throne Edward VIII (1894-1972) became King of England upon the death of his     father, George V, on January 20, 1936. Nearly 42-years-old and a bachelor, Edward then made known his desire     to marry an American woman named Wallis Warfield Simpson, whom he had known     since 1931. He sought the approval of his family, the Church of England,     and the political establishment to marry her, but met with strong opposition.     She had been married twice before and her second divorce was still pending. The love affair and possible royal marriage resulted in sensational     newspaper headlines around the world and created a storm of controversy,     but did not sway Edward. On December 10, 1936, King Edward VIII submitted     his abdication and it was endorsed by Parliament the next day. He thus     became the only British monarch ever to resign voluntarily. The speech below is from December 11th, when Edward publicly announced     his decision via radio to a worldwide audience. His younger brother, George VI, took the throne and immediately gave     Edward the title, Duke of Windsor. The Duke and Simpson were married in     France on June 3, 1937 and lived in Paris. During World War II, Edward     served as governor of the Bahamas. He died in Paris on May 28, 1972. His     wife died there, April 24, 1986. At long last I am able to say a few words of my own. I have never wanted to withhold anything, but until now it has not been constitutionally possible for me to speak. A few hours ago I discharged my last duty as King and Emperor, and now that I have been succeeded by my brother, the Duke of York, my first words must be to declare my allegiance to him. This I do with all my heart. You all know the reasons which have impelled me to renounce the throne. But I want you to understand that in making up my mind I did not forget the country or the empire, which, as Prince of Wales and lately as King, I have for twenty-five years tried to serve. But you must believe me when I tell you that I have found it impossible to carry the heavy burden of responsibility and to discharge my duties as King as I would wish to do without the help and support of the woman I love. And I want you to know that the decision I have made has been mine and mine alone. This was a thing I had to judge entirely for myself. The other person most nearly concerned has tried up to the last to persuade me to take a different course. I have made this, the most serious decision of my life, only upon the single thought of what would, in the end, be best for all. This decision has been made less difficult to me by the sure knowledge that my brother, with his long training in the public affairs of this country and with his fine qualities, will be able to take my place forthwith without interruption or injury to the life and progress of the empire. And he has one matchless blessing, enjoyed by so many of you, and not bestowed on me -- a happy home with his wife and children. During these hard days I have been comforted by her majesty my mother and by my family. The ministers of the crown, and in particular, Mr. Baldwin, the Prime Minister, have always treated me with full consideration. There has never been any constitutional difference between me and them, and between me and Parliament. Bred in the constitutional tradition by my father, I should never have allowed any such issue to arise. Ever since I was Prince of Wales, and later on when I occupied the throne, I have been treated with the greatest kindness by all classes of the people wherever I have lived or journeyed throughout the empire. For that I am very grateful. I now quit altogether public affairs and I lay down my burden. It may be some time before I return to my native land, but I shall always follow the fortunes of the British race and empire with profound interest, and if at any time in the future I can be found of service to his majesty in a private station, I


Who did George W. Bush beat for the US presidency in 2000?

George W. Bush - U.S. Presidents - HISTORY.com Google George W. Bush: Education, Family and Early Political Career Bush, the oldest of six children of George H.W. Bush (1924-) and Dorothy Pierce Bush (1925-), was born on July 6, 1946, in New Haven Connecticut , when his father, a former World War II naval aviator, was a student at Yale University. He was raised in Texas , where the senior Bush was an executive in the oil industry, and attended high school at Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts . Bush went on to Yale, the alma mater of his father and grandfather, Prescott Bush (1985-1972), a banker and U.S. senator, and earned a degree in history in 1968. Did You Know? Bush was the first son of a president to become president since John Quincy Adams. That same year, with America fighting the Vietnam War (1954-75), Bush was accepted into the Texas Air National Guard. He trained to become a pilot and completed his active-duty service in 1970. In 1973, he entered Harvard Business School, and received an MBA in 1975. Bush then returned to Texas to work in the oil and gas industry and eventually started his own exploration company. On November 5, 1977, he married Laura Welch (1946-), a librarian and school teacher. The couple had twin daughters, Jenna and Barbara, in 1981. In 1978, Bush ran for the U.S. House of Representatives from Texas but lost to his Democratic opponent in the general election. Afterward, he returned to his oil business, which he sold in 1986. Bush moved to Washington , D.C., to work on his father’s successful 1988 presidential campaign, and the following year became an investor in the Texas Rangers baseball team (he sold his ownership stake in 1998 for $15 million). In 1994, Bush defeated Democratic incumbent Ann Richards to become governor of Texas. He was re-elected four years later. In the summer of 1999, Bush announced his candidacy for president, and campaigned as a “compassionate conservative.” George W. Bush: 2000 Presidential Election In the 2000 election, Bush and running mate Dick Cheney (1941-), a former congressman and U.S. defense secretary under George H.W. Bush, defeated Vice President Al Gore (1948-) and his running mate, U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman (1942-) of Connecticut, by a margin of 271-266 electoral votes, though Gore won the popular vote by 48.4 percent to Bush’s 47.9 percent. The 2000 election was the fourth election in U.S. history in which the winner of the electoral votes did not carry the popular vote. George W. Bush: First Presidential Term: 2001-2005 Bush’s first term in the White House was dominated by the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks against America, in which nearly 3,000 people were killed, and their aftermath. The following month, in response to the attacks, the United States invaded Afghanistan in an attempt to overthrow the Taliban government, which was suspected of harboring Osama Bin Laden (1957-2011), leader of Al-Qaeda, the organization responsible for the 9/11 attacks. The Taliban regime was quickly toppled; however, Bin Laden was not captured for another decade. With the goal of protecting the United States from future terrorist attacks, Bush also signed the Patriot Act into law created the Cabinet-level Department of Homeland Security, which was officially established in November 2002. Then, in the spring of 2003, the United States invaded Iraq in order to overthrow leader Sadaam Hussein (1937-2006), whose regime was accused of supporting international terrorist groups and possessing large caches of weapons of mass destruction (WMD). In December 2003, U.S. forces captured Hussein (who was later executed by Iraqi officials); however, no WMDs were ever discovered. Also in his first term, Bush won Congressional approval of widespread tax-cut bills and the Medicare prescription drug coverage program for seniors; signed the No Child Left Behind Act into law; allocated billions of dollars to fight HIV/AIDS around the world; created the White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives, and withdrew America’s support of the 1997 Kyoto Protocol,


When was the first message transmitted between UK and the USA by submarine telegraph cable?

How the first cable was laid across the Atlantic | WIRED UK How the first cable was laid across the Atlantic By Duncan Geere Tuesday 18 January 2011 We try and maintain a laserlike focus on the future at Wired, but sometimes it's worth taking a look back at the innovations of the past. On August 16, 1858, the first message was sent across the Atlantic by telegraph cable, reading "Glory to God in the highest; on earth, peace and good will toward men". The transmission marked the culmination of 19 years of dreams, plans and hard work, bridging the economic and political systems of both the UK and the USA. ADVERTISEMENT The idea of a transatlantic communications cable was first floated in 1839, following the introduction of the working telegraph by Wiliam Cooke and Charles Wheatstone . Samuel Morse , the inventor of Morse code, threw his weight behind it in 1840, and by 1850, a link had been laid between Britain and France. The same year, construction began on a telegraph line up the far north-east coast of North America -- from Nova Scotia to the very tip of Newfoundland. The team behind the east-coast cable was led by Frederick Newton Gisborne , a telegraph engineer from Lancashire, who lived in Nova Scotia. However, the line didn't prove too lucrative, and in 1853 the company collapsed. His fortunes changed, however, when he was introduced to Cyrus West Field , a businessman and financier from New York City. READ NEXT WIRED Awake: 10 must-read articles for January 19 By WIRED Field took Gisborne's idea -- that the east-coast cable could be extended across the Atlantic to Britain -- and set about making it happen. He consulted Morse on the technical requirements, as well as a noted oceanographer named Matthew Maury , and after being satisfied that the project was feasible, formed the New York, Newfoundland and London Telegraph Company . Field began to raise funds for the transatlantic expedition by selling shares in London and in New York in a parent company called the Atlantic Telegraph Company . The British government helped Field out with a subsidy of £1,400 per year, which works out as about £150,000 today, and the financier managed to get the US congress to help out, too, despite fierce opposition from Anglophobe senators. Field also supplied a quarter of the funds for the cable himself. In 1857, the first attempt was made. A cable consisting of seven copper wires was manufactured by a pair of English companies -- ADVERTISEMENT China says it will finish 'super supercomputer' prototype this year By Matt Burgess Glass Elliot & Co from Greenwich, and R.S.Newall & Co from Liverpool. The cable's protective qualities were important -- it was covered with a latex made from gutta-percha , which was thought to be resilient to attack from marine plants and animals, wound with tarred hemp and surrounded by a spiralling sheath of iron wire. The idea was to allow for a pull of several tons, but still be relatively flexible. Two ships -- the HMS Agamemnon and the USS Niagara -- set sail from near Ballycarbery Castle in County Kerry, on the southwest coast of Ireland on August 5, 1857. On the first day of the expedition, however, the cable broke and had to be grappled from the sea floor and repaired. Soon after, the cable broke again at a depth of 3.2km, and the operation was called off for the year. ADVERTISEMENT Zuckerberg denies VR tech theft in £1.6bn Oculus trial By Matt Kamen Undaunted, Field attempted the connection again the following year. After experiments in the Bay of Biscay had been conducted, the plan was changed -- the Niagara and Agamemnos met in the centre of the Atlantic on 26 June and attached their respective cables to each other, then headed for opposite sides of the ocean. Again, the cable broke -- once after less than 6km had been laid, again after about 100km and then a third time when 370km had been laid. The boats returned to port. Despite low morale among the crews, a third expedition set out. The boats met in the centre of the Atlantic on 29 July, 1858, and attached the cables together. The ships veered

Herbert Hoover and his wife Lou Henry Hoover often had public conversations in which language so that people could not eavesdrop on them?

Lou Hoover Biography :: National First Ladies' Library Waterloo, Iowa Father: Charles Delano Henry born 20 July 1845, Wooster, Ohio, woolen mill operator, bank clerk and partner, miner; died 21 July 1928, Palo Alto, California Charles Henry's grandfather, an immigrant from Ireland, helped to found the town of Wooster, Ohio. His father was superintendent of Ohio Bitumen Coal in nearby Massillon. His widowed mother relocated with him and his older brother to Iowa, where he found work as a book-keeper in a bank, thus beginning his lifelong work in various capacities in banks. Once he had helped establish a bank in Monterey, California, Henry became a partner in the bank and found the financial success that had eluded him for so long. Mother: Florence Ida Weed, born 1849, Wooster, Ohio; married 13 June 1873, Shell Rock, Iowa; died 24 June 1927, Palo Alto, California. As a young woman, she worked as a clerk in a dry goods store in Waterloo. Although both of Lou Hoover's parents were born in Wooster, Ohio, they both migrated, separately, with their families to Iowa, where they married. Siblings: Eldest of two; one sister, Jean Henry [Large] (1882-1958) Ancestry: Irish, English. Lou Hoover's paternal great-grandfather William Henry was an immigrant from Ireland. Among other branches of her ancestors were those born in several of the original thirteen New England and Mid-Atlantic colonies; original immigrants and their points of known origin include: John Woolman (Aynhoe, England), Simeon Ellis (Woodale, England) and Joseph Collins (Newport, England), and William Bates (Wicklow, Ireland). She also had ancestors who fought in the American Revolution.  Religion: Episcopalian; although she remained a member of the faith in which she was raised, she attended Quaker services with her husband, the faith in which he was raised. Through her paternal ancestors, however, Lou Hoover did have a Quaker heritage. One of her uncles several generations back, John Woolman (1720-1772) was a prominent Quaker preacher, peace advocate and civic leader.  Appearance: Five foot, eight inches; blue eyes; light brown hair which was white by the time she was First Lady Education: Kindergarten, Waterloo, Iowa, (1880-1881) Intermittent Public Grammar School, Waterloo, Iowa (1882-1887) Los Angeles Normal School (1891-1892). An active student, she joined a school club, named after a teacher, which had members gathering small animals, rock formations and other samples of the natural world, for display in the school. She chose the school, in part, for its emphasis on physical activity even for women students and because the institution had what she said was "the best gymnasium west of the Mississippi."  San Jose Normal School (1892-1893), Lou Henry Hoover earned her teaching certificate, intending to pursue education as a profession as her mother had. Stanford University (1894-1898), graduating with a B.A. in geology. Lou Henry was the first woman in America to have earned a degree in geology from Stanford. Her study had begun when, after attending a lecture by Stanford professor of geology J. C. Branner, she asked it he would accept a woman student. He, as well as her parents, encouraged her to pursue the field of study. Life Before Marriage: Although born in Waterloo, Iowa, Lou Henry Hoover lived in other states during her youth, as her father sought more lucrative employment, first at Corsicana, Texas (1879), then returning to Waterloo, and then briefly to Clearwater, Kansas (1887). The family finally settled in California, living first in Whittier (1887), then Los Angeles (1890) both in southern California, and then finally in Monterey (1892), in northern California. Lou Henry was consciously raised by both parents in a manner unconventional for young girls in that era. Along with being socialized to assume traditionally feminine traits, both parents encouraged her love of physical exercise and sports. She played baseball in the street, basketball, and enjoyed archery, boating, sledding, roller-skating and ice-skating. Most especially, however, she enjoye

It took some years to get it published, finally appearing in 1920. Styles introduced her sleuth Hercule Poirot. During 1922 - 1926, Christie followed it up with a series of much weaker non-detective books, adventure and spy novels. Much of best work during this period was in short stories. She wrote a huge number of Poirot short stories during this era. She created many new detectives, as well as writing some outstanding stories without series heroes, such as those collected much later in The Listerdale Mystery. Also excellent in this period were the Tommy and Tuppence stories contained in Partners in Crime (mainly 1924), which were made into a delightful British television series in the 1980's, and the tales featuring Mr. Harley Quin, in The Mysterious Mr. Quin. Several of Christie's works during this period are experimental in that they mix fantasy (Mr. Quin), or satire (Tommy and Tuppence) with detective story elements. Others, such as the tales in The Listerdale Mystery, are more to be classified as "ingenious tales involving mystery and adventure" than as pure detective stories. The greatest achievement of this period, however, is a pure detective story, the Poirot novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1925). This book, a subtle masterpiece of misdirection, created as much of a public sensation in Christie's day as The Crying Game did in ours. People argued over whether Christie's surprise solution was fair, a debate that continues to this day, but no one doubted her ability to unleash a stunning surprise on her readers. The Murder of Roger Ackroyd (1925) is usually discussed solely in terms of its central plot idea. This main plot is certainly brilliant, to say the least, but such a view does not do full justice to Christie's novel. The sheer complexity of Christie's plot gets ignored, with numerous inventive plot elements that go to make up its complex solution. This plot co

"Tweedland" The Gentlemen's club: Noor Inayat Khan ... The Spy Princess Monday, 14 January 2013 Noor Inayat Khan ... The Spy Princess Tribute to an Indian princess who died for our freedom: Sculpture unveiled of spy tortured and executed by Nazis after refusing to betray Britain Noor Inayat Khan was one of Churchill's elite band of women spies Spy was the first radio operator to aid the French Resistence Despite being tortured and interrogated by Gestapo she never gave up her loyalty to Britain Shot by firing squad in 1944, Noor's last word was 'Liberte' By DAVID WILKES in http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2230082/Noor-Inayat-Khan-Statue-unveiled-commemorate-Britains-Muslim-war-heroine.html PUBLISHED:  8 November 2012 A beautiful Indian princess, she  sacrificed her life for Britain as a  wartime secret agent. With astonishing courage, Noor Inayat Khan evaded the Gestapo before being betrayed, tortured and, after refusing to reveal any information, executed at Dachau concentration camp. Her last word as the firing squad raised their weapons on September 13, 1944, was 'liberté'. Yesterday, seven decades after her death aged 30, a statue to the forgotten heroine was unveiled in London by the Princess Royal. The bronze bust commemorating Britain’s only female Muslim war heroine is the first stand-alone memorial to an Asian woman in the UK. It stands in Gordon Square near the house where Noor lived and from where she left on her last mission, unable to tell her mother she might never return. Princess Anne said  stories such as Noor’s are ‘remarkable in their own right’ but have a real connection to make with the modern age through their ‘multi-cultural aspect’. She hoped the statue will 'remind people to ask: Who was she? Why is she here? And what can we achieve in her memory?' Noor was part of an elite band of women in the Special Operations Executive (SOE) and the first woman radio operator to be flown into occupied France to aid the Resistance. Born in Moscow to an Indian father and an American mother, Noor was a descendant of Tipu Sultan, the 18th century ruler of Mysore. The family lived in London, moving to Paris when Noor was six. She studied the harp, gained a degree in child psychology and wrote children’s stories. When Paris fell to the Nazis in 1940, she returned to London and volunteered for the Women’s Auxiliary Air Force. Recruited by the SOE in 1942, she was sent to Paris in June 1943 with the codename Madeleine. Many members of the network  were soon arrested, but Noor chose  to remain in France, trying to send messages back to London while  avoiding capture. That October she was betrayed by a Frenchwoman and arrested by the Gestapo. She was kept in chains and in solitary confinement. Her captors kicked and interrogated her but she revealed nothing. When posthumously awarded the George Cross, Britain’s highest civilian decoration, for her gallantry in 1949, the citation read: 'She refused to abandon what had become the principal and most dangerous post in France, although given the opportunity to return to England, because she did not wish to leave her French comrades without communications.' Noor was one of only three women in the SOE to be awarded the medal. The other two – Violette Szabo and Odette Hallowes – have been more widely known and celebrated until now. Campaigners spent years raising £60,000 for Noor’s statue, by London-based artist Karen Newman, from public donations and enlisted the support of politicians including David Cameron, who said it was ‘impossible not to be moved’ by her bravery. Shrabani Basu who wrote a biography of Noor in 2006 called 'Spy Princess' and spearheaded the campaign to get her formally recognised, said: 'I realised how much Noor's story had touched ordinary people, especially the young. 'I felt it was all the more important to remember Noor's message, her ideals and her courage in the troubled times we live in.' Noor's brother Hidayat Inayat Khan, 95, was unable to travel from his home in The Hague, Netherlands, to attend the ceremony due to old age but said in a


Koala: Facts, Baby, Eat, Live, Endangered, Dangerous, Preditors   Koala The Koala is small, fuzzy, and cute. It has gray to brown colored fur with a white underbelly. It lazily makes it way through the tree branches to eat, sleep, and nurse its young. Spending most of its lifecycle in the trees, it only descends to the ground if necessary. Koalas are adored by many for their small size and cartoon-like features. The Koala is a marsupial. BABY KOALAS Mothers give birth and raise only one baby koala at time. During the mothers lifecycle she will produce up to six cubs. A newborn kaola baby is called a “joey” and does not resemble an adult since it is born blind with undeveloped features. A joey measures under one inch in length. Upon birth the joey makes its way to the mother’s pouch and attaches itself inside. It then develops its eyes, legs, and fur. In fact it lives in the mother’s pouch for about six months. When it emerges from the pouch it takes on the familiar cute and cuddly appearance of an adult. Eventually the baby koala transfers itself to the mother’s back to hitch a free ride. It continues to nurse off the mother’s milk for up to a year and eats eucalyptus leaves. Some baby koalas want to use the safety of the pouch longer than necessary but their size prohibits them from climbing back inside. When the next joey is born it is time for last season’s baby to say goodbye. WHAT DO KOALAS EAT? Eucalyptus leaves is the only food koalas eat. Although the leaves are poisonous to most animals, they have special bacteria that live in their stomachs to break down and digest them. Their diet includes up to one pound of leaves a day. The koala has special teeth adapted for their eucalyptus diet. The majority of their front and back teeth act like scissors to chop the leaves into pieces suitable for digestion. Eucalyptus leaves have a fair amount of moisture hence koalas seldom drink water. Plant specie information about eucalyptus trees indicate there are many different varieties in the wild. In fact each koala is particular about what kind they will eat. Baby koalas acquire their taste for specific varieties by adulthood. One of the main reasons koalas are endangered in some areas is the destruction of native eucalyptus forest habitats. Eucalyptus leaves are high in fiber and low in nutrients. In addition to eating large amounts, koalas are able to survive on their diet since they have a slow metabolic system to conserve nutrients and energy. Since they have no natural predators in Australia, this adaptation is not to their disadvantage. KOALA FACTS Size: Up to 3 feet in length. Weight: 20 to 30 pounds. Lifespan: Koala information gathered from both wild and captive habitats suggest koalas live to be around 15 to 20 years. Definition: The koala is a nocturnal marsupial and is a herbivore. Fun fact: The word “marsupial” is from the Latin word “marsupium”, which translates to “pouch”. Body structure: Its head has a long black nose, small round eyes, and big ears. It has strong limbs and the claws of its paws are designed to grasp and climb branches easily. The koala body structure is small and not “top heavy”, enabling it to maneuver and balance on tree branches. Sleeping time: Up to 20 hours a day! Communication: Scratch and scent markings. Vocalization sounds: screeches, bellows, murmurs. Diet: Koalas eat only eucalyptus leaves. Habitat: Majority populations are in the south eastern regions of Australia. Baby Koalas: Weight: under 0.04 ounces. Size: under 1 inch in length. Mating Season: Breeding is from October through March. Gestation period: 30 to 35 days. Age of Maturity: 2 to 3 years. Endangered status: Status dependent on country (see Endangered section) Predators: No natural predators. Enemies: Man. Subspecies Information: Northern (adustus), Intermediate (cinereus), and Southern (victor). Major adaptations: Slower metabolism, paws with claws adapted for climbing/hanging, scissor like teeth for processing eucalyptus leaves. WHERE DO KOALAS LIVE? The koala’s habitat is in the c


The Oval Office The Oval Office The Symbol of the Presidency You are standing inside the doorway of a full-scale replica of Jimmy      Carter’s White House Oval Office, furnished exactly as it was      during his administration. As you look around the office, you can imagine      the work that goes on during a President’s term of office. Because      the White House Oval Office is a working office, public visitors to      the White House cannot view it on any tour. The Oval Office is the symbol of the U.S. Presidency. It is located       in the West Wing of the White House and is the center of presidential       activity. In the Oval Office, the President hosts world leaders,       diplomats, senior staff, and dignitaries as well as often addressing       the American public. President Theodore Roosevelt moved the President’s Office       into a new West Wing in 1902. Before that, his office was in the       main residence. In 1909, President Taft created an oval office when       the West Wing was expanded. By placing the Oval Office in the center       of the West Wing, he signaled a more hands-on approach to the presidency.       President Franklin Roosevelt moved the Oval Office in 1934 to its       current location overlooking the Rose Garden. Each president decorates the Oval Office to his individual taste       selecting furniture, paintings, and decorative objects from White       House holdings. Among the features that remain constant are the Presidential       Seal in plaster relief on the ceiling, the white marble mantel from       the original 1909 Oval Office, and the two flags behind the president’s       desk – the U.S. flag and the President’s flag. The room was painted off-white in December 1974 at which time the       salmon, gold, and green upholstery and drapery colors were selected.       The oval rug, designed especially for the Oval Office during the       Ford administration, was installed in December, 1976. (The rug on       display in the museum is slightly smaller than the original so visitors       can walk through part of the office.)

U.S. Soccer Timeline - U.S. Soccer U.S. Soccer Timeline 1620  American folklore asserts that Pilgrim Fathers, upon settling at Plymouth Rock found American Indians along the Massachusetts coast playing a form of soccer. The Indians called it “Pasuckquakkohowog,” which means “they gather to play football.”   1820  Many American colleges played soccer, but there was no intercollegiate competition. Rules were casual and changed often.  1862  The Oneidas of Boston, the first organized soccer club in America, was formed by Gerritt Miller Smith. The Oneidas were undefeated from 1862-65. A monument now stands in Boston Common, where the Oneidas played their home matches.  1865-1876  Soccer was initiated as an organized college sport in the USA in the years following the Civil War. Princeton and Rutgers Universities engaged in the first intercollegiate soccer match Nov. 6, 1876, in New Brunswick, N.J. Rutgers won the match 6-4. The game was more similar to both rugby and soccer than gridiron football.  1876-1880  Thousands of British immigrants arrived in the metropolitan areas of the East, Midwest and Pacific Coast. Communities with textile mills, shipyards, quarries or mines also had soccer teams among its immigrant population, a pattern occurring all over the world during the time of the Industrial Revolution.   1884 The American Football Association was organized in Newark, N.J., uniting the numerous metropolitan area enclaves of the East to maintain uniformity in the interpretation of rules and provide an orderly and stable growth of soccer in America.   1885-1886 The U..S. and Canada played a game a year against each other, representing the first “international” soccer games to take place outside the British Isles.  1904 The Federation Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) was formed in Paris on May 21. Charter members included: France, Belgium, Denmark, Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland. The International Board, the authority over the rules and their interpretation continued under the jurisdiction of England, Scotland, Ireland and Wales, even though they were not affiliated with FIFA. The Olympic Games of 1904 in St. Louis included soccer as an official Olympic sport where club teams competed under the national team banner. FIFA did not become active in Olympic soccer until 1908.  1913 FIFA became a member of the International Board, increasing their influence on the interpretation of rules. The U.S. Football Association (USFA) was granted provisional membership by FIFA on Aug. 15.  1914 The USFA was incorporated under the laws of the state of New York, May 30, and was granted full membership in FIFA at the annual congress at Oslo, Norway, June 24.  1916 The first USFA Men's National Team traveled to Norway and Sweden. The Americans played six matches on this tour, finishing 3-1-2.  1919 Bethlehem (Pa.) Steel became the first American professional team to play in Europe when they toured Sweden.  1921 The original American Professional Soccer League (APSL) began. Franchises were granted to Fall River, Mass.; Philadelphia; Jersey City Celtics, N.J.; Todd Shipyard of Brooklyn, N.Y.; New York FC; Falco FC of Holyoke, Mass.; and JP Coats of Pawtucket, R.I.  1923 The world’s first indoor soccer league with 11-a-side teams on a full-sized field opened the winter season at the Commonwealth Calvary Armory in Boston.  1930 The USA was one of 13 nations to compete in the first FIFA World Cup competition in Montevideo, Uruguay. Bert Patenaude (Fall River, Mass.) was the third-leading scorer in the tournament and was the first player to tally three goals in World Cup play.  1932 At the 10th Olympiad in Los Angeles, soccer was eliminated due to a controversy between FIFA and the IOC over the definition of an amateur and the reluctance of most of the strong soccer countries to travel to California because of the expense involved.  1938 West Chester State College and Salisbury College played in the first intercollegiate soccer game under floodlights.  1941  The National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) was o


What powers the form of transport known as lectica (ancient Rome), jiao (China), sedan chair (England), palanquin (India), gama (Korea) and tahtrevan (Turkey)?

This article doesn't yet, but we're working on it! See more info or our list of citable articles . Related top topics (Redirected to Litter (vehicle) article) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A Korean gama, circa 1890. A Turkish tahtırevan, 1893. An English Sedan Chair (circa late 18th Century) at Eaton Hall The litter is a class of wheelless vehicles , a type of human-powered transport , for the transport of persons. Examples of litter vehicles include lectica (ancient Rome), jiao ( China ), sedan chairs ( England ), palanquin (also known as palki) ( India ), gama ( Korea ) and tahtırevan ( Turkey ). Smaller litters may take the form of open chairs or beds carried by two or more men, some being enclosed for protection from the elements. Larger litters, for example those of the Chinese emperors, may resemble small rooms upon a platform borne upon the shoulders of a dozen or more men. To most efficiently carry a litter, porters will attempt to transfer the load to their shoulders, either by placing the carrying poles upon their shoulders, or the use of a yoke to transfer the load from the carrying poles to the shoulder. The rickshaw is a related type of vehicle. Contents improvised sling-type litters on the Bataan Death March . A simple litter, often called a stretcher , consists of a sling attached along its length to poles or stretched inside a frame. The poles or frame are carried by porters in front and behind. Such simple litters are common on battlefields and emergency situations, where terrain prohibits wheeled vehicles from carrying away the dead and wounded. Litters can also be created by the expedient of the lashing of poles to a chair . Such litters, consisting of a simple cane chair with maybe an umbrella to ward off the elements and two stout bamboo poles, may still be found in Chinese mountain resorts such as the Huangshan Mountains to carry tourists along scenic paths and to viewing positions inaccessible by other means of transport. A more luxurious version consists of a bed or couch, sometimes enclosed by curtains , for the passenger or passengers to lie on. These are carried by at least two porters in equal numbers in front and behind, using wooden rails that pass through brackets on the sides of the couch. The largest and heaviest types would be carried by draught animals. Another form, commonly called a sedan chair, consists of a chair or windowed cabin suitable for a single occupant, also carried by at least two porters in front and behind, using wooden rails that pass through brackets on the sides of the chair. These porters were known in London as "chairmen". These have been very rare since the 19th century, but such enclosed portable litters have been used as an elite form of transport for centuries, especially in cultures where women are kept secluded. Sedan chairs, in use until the 19th century, were accompanied at night by link-boys who carried torches. [1] Where possible, the link boys escorted the fares to the chairmen, the passengers then being delivered to the door of their lodgings. [1] Several houses in Bath, Somerset , England still have the link extinguishers on the exteriors, shaped like outsized candle snuffers.

I just couldn't stand it. - Bela Lugosi I have never met a vampire personally, but I don't know what might happen tomorrow. - Bela Lugosi It took me years to live down Dracula and convince the film producers that I would play almost any other type of role. - Bela Lugosi If my accent betrayed my foreign birth, it also stamped me as an enemy, in the imagination of the producers. - Bela Lugosi It was hell to go through what I went through. I didn't know I had so many friends. Many people gave a damn about my situation. They helped cure me. My body grew hot, then cold. I tried to eat the bed sheets. My heart beat madly. Every joint in my body ached. When I took the cure they took it all away from me. - Bela Lugosi I have lived too completely, I think.

It is a biological thing. - Bela Lugosi I'll take any story if it's good. - Bela Lugosi The stage is near and dear to me. - Bela Lugosi The love-bite, it is the beginning. You will be irresistible. A screen actor is compensated in the knowledge that millions will see his performance at one time, where only hundreds will see it on the stage. - Bela Lugosi I look in the mirror and say to myself, Can it be you once played Romeo? - Bela Lugosi I haven't been an actor for 30 years without getting pleasure out of the profession. - Bela Lugosi In Hungary, acting is a career for which one fits himself as earnestly as one studies for a degree in medicine, law, or philosophy.

Who was a session musician from Harlesden, North London, England who played for leading UK independent producers Shel Talmy and Mickie Most and performed on albums and singles by The Kinks, The Move, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Donovan, Jeff Beck, Jefferson Airplane, and the Steve Miller Band?

In The Life Of...The Beatles: Beatle People: Nicky Hopkins Saturday, October 10, 2009 Beatle People: Nicky Hopkins Nicky Hopkins (born Nicholas Christian Hopkins (February 24, 1944 - September 6, 1994) was an English pianist and organist. He recorded and performed on some of the most important British and American popular music recordings of the 1960s and 1970s, and is widely regarded as one of the most important session musicians in rock history. Biography Hopkins was born in Harlesden, North London, England. He suffered from Crohn's disease from his youth. Poor health and ongoing surgery made it difficult for him to tour. This contributed heavily to his focus on working primarily as a studio player. Hopkins started his musical career in the early 1960s as the pianist with Screaming Lord Sutch's Savages, which also included Ritchie Blackmore, founder of Deep Purple. He then joined The Cyril Davies R&B All Stars, one of the first British rhythm & blues bands, and played piano on their initial single, "Country Line Special." He began his career as a session musician in London in the early Sixties and quickly became one of the most in-demand players on the thriving session scene there, contributing his fluid and dexterous boogie-woogie influenced piano style to many hit recordings. He worked extensively as a session pianist for leading UK independent producers Shel Talmy and Mickie Most and performed on albums and singles by The Kinks, Alun Davies and Jon Mark (later of the Mark-Almond Band), while Davies was touring with Cat Stevens, Donovan, and The Rolling Stones. His performances with The Rolling Stones were among his most memorable, notably on their Sixties albums Between the Buttons, Their Satanic Majesties Request, Beggars Banquet and Let It Bleed. Hopkins also played on Jamming With Edward, an unofficial Stones release that was recorded during the Let It Bleed sessions, while Mick Jagger, Bill Wyman and Charlie Watts, of the Stones, with Hopkins and Ry Cooder, were waiting for Keith Richards at Keith's Paris flat. The "Edward" of the title was an alias of Nicky Hopkins, derived from his outstanding performance on "Edward, the Mad Shirt Grinder", a song from Quicksilver Messenger Service's Shady Grove LP. In 1965, he played piano on The Who's debut LP, My Generation. He recorded with most of the top British acts of the Sixties, including The Beatles, The Rolling Stones, The Who and The Kinks, and on solo albums by John Lennon, Jeff Beck, and others. In 1967 he joined The Jeff Beck Group, formed by former Yardbirds guitarist Jeff Beck, with vocalist Rod Stewart, bassist Ronnie Wood and drummer Micky Waller, playing on their influential LPs Truth and Beck-Ola. He also helped define the "San Francisco sound", playing on albums by Jefferson Airplane, New Riders of the Purple Sage, and Steve Miller Band. He briefly joined Quicksilver Messenger Service and performed with Jefferson Airplane at the Woodstock Festival. In 1968 he played piano with the Swedish psychedelic group The Tages on the single "Halcyon Days", produced in Abbey Road Studio. He also appeared for The Who on "Getting in Tune" and "The Song Is Over" from band's 1971 album Who's Next. Hopkins was added to the Rolling Stones live line-up on the 1971 Good-Bye Britain tour, as well as the notorious 1972 North American Tour and the early 1973 Winter Tour of Australia and New Zealand. He is featured heavily on the classic 1972 Exile on Main St. album. He started to form his own band around this time but decided against it after the Stones tour. He had planned on using Prairie Prince on drums, and Pete Sears on bass. Hopkins failed to make the Stones' 1973 tour of Europe due to ill health and, aside from a guest appearance in 1978, did not play again with the Stones live on stage. He did manage to go on tour with the Jerry Garcia Band, from August 5 to December 31, 1975. He continued to record with the Stones until 1980, and on solo records of members of the Stones up to 1991. Solo albums In 1969, Hopkins was a member of the short-lived Sweet Thursday line-up, a

"The phrase ""wardrobe malfunction"" entered pop music vocabulary following a performance at the Super Bowl XXXVIII between Janet Jackson and which other singer?"

Justin Timberlake | Download Music, Tour Dates & Video | eMusic Biography All Music Guide All Music Guide: Justin Timberlake may be the quintessential pop star of the new millennium, a star who jumped from platform to platform on his way to establishing himself as something bigger than a star: he was a self-sustained empire. Timberlake began his rise as a TV star, performing on The New Mickey Mouse Club as a child in the '90s, but he earned his superstardom as one of the frontmen for *NSYNC, the most popular boy band of the turn of the millennium. Justin stepped away from the band just as its popularity crested, releasing the sleek Justified in 2002, its hit singles "Cry Me a River" and "Rock Your Body" establishing him as a force outside the group, and he consolidated that success in 2006 with FutureSex/LoveSounds, the album that generated his biggest hit, "SexyBack." After reaching this pop peak, he decided to pursue other ventures, choosing to concentrate on acting and entrepreneurship. Recurring appearances on Saturday Night Live proved to be among the show's most popular spots and he received acclaim for his performance in the 2010 Oscar-winning film The Social Network. Additionally, Timberlake established his own fashion imprint and record label, opened several restaurants, and, in 2011, invested in MySpace. Timberlake's journey to stardom began in Memphis, Tennessee, where he was born on January 31, 1981. He began performing early, appearing on the televised talent competition Star Search at the age of 11, singing under the name of Justin Randall. This was his first step into the big leagues, leading to him securing a spot on The New Mickey Mouse Club in 1993. This cast would prove to be filled with future stars; in addition to Timberlake there were the pop singers Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera, actor Ryan Gosling, and JC Chasez, who'd later join Justin in *NSYNC, the group manager Lou Pearlman assembled in the late '90s. Pearlman formed *NSYNC after the cancellation of The New Mickey Mouse Club in 1994, taking Timberlake and Chasez as his anchors and adding Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick. *NSYNC began their march toward stardom in 1996 when their first album appeared in Europe. Two years later, their eponymous debut was released in the U.S. and the group scored hits with "Tearin' Up My Heart," "I Want You Back," and "(God Must Have Spent) A Little More Time on You." The latter reached the Top Ten, paving the way for the smash success of No Strings Attached in 2000. Upon its release in March 2000, the album sold an astonishing 2.4 million copies in its first week, setting a record that is unlikely to ever be broken. After generating the singles "It's Gonna Be Me" and "Bye Bye Bye," the group set to work on its next album, 2001's Celebrity. It was another massive hit, launching the Top Ten singles "Pop," "Gone," and "Girlfriend, but it proved to be the group's last album, as Timberlake's popularity was quickly eclipsing that of the rest of the group. It didn't take long for Justin to release his first solo album. Justified appeared a little over a year after Celebrity and its gleaming, stylish surfaces -- partially produced by the Neptunes and partially produced by Timbaland -- suggested a new, mature, adventurous musician who was as much an R&B vocalist as he was a pop singer. Timberlake supported the album with a co-headlining tour with Christina Aguilera in 2003 and he ruled the airwaves with the singles "Like I Love You," "Cry Me a River," Señorita," and "Rock Your Body," not to mention the "I'm Lovin' It" jingle for McDonalds. He weathered a scandal in early 2004, when he tore off part of Janet Jackson's costume during their half-time duet at Super Bowl XXXVIII, but he bounced back nicely, winning Grammys that year for Justified and "Cry Me a River." He also launched William Rast, a clothing line. As he worked on his second album with producer Timbaland, Timberlake found time to resume his acting career, taking on key roles in Southland Tales, Black Snake Moan, and Alpha Dog. Before any

Alfred Tennyson was born on August 6tli, 1«09, at Somersby, iu Lincolnshire, a tiuy village " in a pretty pastoral district of softly sloping hills and large ash trees."  His father, Dr. Tennyson, Rector of Somersby, was a man of tall, stately figure, a linguist, and something of a poet, artist, and musician.'^ His mother, daughter of the Rev. Stephen Fytche. Vicar of Louth, was a sweet and gracious lady, full of kindness and sympathy.  Alfred was one of twelve children, seven of them sons, three of whom— Frederick. Charles, and Alfred— became poets. Their home life was singularly happy. The family was closely knit by affection and by common intellectual tastes. Story-telling, verse-making, imaginative games, were the favourite amusements of the boys from an early age.  Alfred's first schooling was got at a village school in a glen near tlie rectory. At the tender age of seven he left home for Louth, w

"Talk-show host Jack Paar once welcomed which actress to The Tonight Show by saying, ""Here they are, ... "", that became the title of her biography by Raymond Strait"

Actress Photo Biography: Actress Cleavage Photo Actress Photo Biography Actress Cleavage Photo Actress Cleavage Biography Actress, singer, Playmate and stage show performer Jayne Mansfield, despite her limited success in Hollywood, had an enormous impact on popular culture of the late 1950s and has remained a popular subject in popular culture ever since. During a period between 1956 and 1957, there were about 122,000 lines of copy and 2,500 photographs that appeared in newspapers.[1] Dennis Russel, in an article on her in the St. James Encyclopedia of Popular Culture (1999), said that "Although many people have never seen her movies, Jayne Mansfield remains, long after her death, one of the most recognizable icons of 1950s celebrity culture."[1] In the 2004 novel Child of My Heart by Alice McDermott, a National Book Award winning writer, the 1950s is referred to as "in those Marilyn Monroe/Jayne Mansfield days". R. L. Rutsky[2] and Bill Osgerby[3] has claimed that it was Mansfield along with Marilyn Monroe and Brigitte Bardot who made the bikini popular. M. Thomas Inge describes Mansfield, Monroe and Jane Russell as personification of the bad girl in popular culture, as opposed to Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, Natalie Wood personifying the good girl.[4] Mansfield, Monroe and Barbara Windsor has been described as representations of a historical juncture of sexuality in comedy and popular culture.[5] Evangelist Billy Graham once said, "This country knows more about Jayne Mansfield's statistics than the Second Commandment."[1] As late as the mid-1980s she remained one of the biggest TV draws.[6] As an indication of her impact on popular culture today, more than two generations later, there are numerous cultural references to the Hollywood sex symbol and Playboy Playmate in recent films, books, TV and music. Physical features of the "voluptuous"[7][8] actress became subjects of humor or fascination in popular culture in a number of ways. In a 1950s Trans World Airlines (TWA) advertisement Mansfield is shown in a low-cut bodice, facing TWA crews, with the copy reading "quite... roomy... perfect".[9] In her time she was often referred to by a variety of nicknames to that end, including Miss Negligee, Miss Nylon Sweater, Miss Freeway, Miss Electric Switch, Miss Geiger Counter, Miss 100% Pure Maple Syrup, Miss 4 July, Miss Tomato and Miss United Dairies.[10][11][12] Numerous show biz people were dubbed as Jayne Mansfield over the time, including Italian actress Marisa Allasio and professional wrestler Missy Hyatt.[13][14][15] She came to be known as "the Cleavage Queen" and "the Queen of Sex and Bosom".[16] Her bosom was so much a part of her public persona that talk-show host Jack Paar once welcomed the actress to The Tonight Show by saying, "Here they are, Jayne Mansfield", a line written for Paar by Dick Cavett which became the title of her biography by Raymond Strait.[17] Joan Jacobs Brumberg describes the 1950s as "an era distinguished by its worship of full-breasted women" and attributes the paradigm shift to Mansfield and Monroe.[18] Patricia Vettel-Becker makes that observation more specific by attributing the phenomenon to Playboy and the appearance of Mansfield and Monroe in the magazine.[19] Anita Ekberg[20] and Bettie Page[21] are also added to the list of catalysts besides Mansfield and Monroe. Drawing on the Freudian concept of fetishism, British Science Fiction writer and socio-cultural commentator J. G. Ballard commented that Mae West, Mansfield and Monroe's breasts "loomed across the horizon of popular consciousness."[22] Only Hearts founder and head designer Helena Stuart commented, "She was the first one that was really that big. Without the bra, it wouldn't have worked. There was a whole lot there to be held in and pushed up."[23] It has been claimed that her bosom was a major force behind the development of the 1950s brassieres, including the "Whirlpool bra", Cuties, the "Shutter bra", the "Action bra", latex pads, cleavage revealing designs and uplift outline.[24][25] In the short story by Graham Greene, May
