In Shakespeare's Macbeth, King Duncan has two sons, one is Malcolm, name the other.

SparkNotes: Macbeth: Character List Character List Plot Overview Analysis of Major Characters Macbeth -  Macbeth is a Scottish general and the thane of Glamis who is led to wicked thoughts by the prophecies of the three witches, especially after their prophecy that he will be made thane of Cawdor comes true. Macbeth is a brave soldier and a powerful man, but he is not a virtuous one. He is easily tempted into murder to fulfill his ambitions to the throne, and once he commits his first crime and is crowned King of Scotland, he embarks on further atrocities with increasing ease. Ultimately, Macbeth proves himself better suited to the battlefield than to political intrigue, because he lacks the skills necessary to rule without being a tyrant. His response to every problem is violence and murder. Unlike Shakespeare’s great villains, such as Iago in Othello and Richard III in Richard III, Macbeth is never comfortable in his role as a criminal. He is unable to bear the psychological consequences of his atrocities. Read an in-depth analysis of Macbeth. Lady Macbeth -  Macbeth’s wife, a deeply ambitious woman who lusts for power and position. Early in the play she seems to be the stronger and more ruthless of the two, as she urges her husband to kill Duncan and seize the crown. After the bloodshed begins, however, Lady Macbeth falls victim to guilt and madness to an even greater degree than her husband. Her conscience affects her to such an extent that she eventually commits suicide. Interestingly, she and Macbeth are presented as being deeply in love, and many of Lady Macbeth’s speeches imply that her influence over her husband is primarily sexual. Their joint alienation from the world, occasioned by their partnership in crime, seems to strengthen the attachment that they feel to each another. Read an in-depth analysis of Lady Macbeth. The Three Witches -  Three “black and midnight hags” who plot mischief against Macbeth using charms, spells, and prophecies. Their predictions prompt him to murder Duncan, to order the deaths of Banquo and his son, and to blindly believe in his own immortality. The play leaves the witches’ true identity unclear—aside from the fact that they are servants of Hecate, we know little about their place in the cosmos. In some ways they resemble the mythological Fates, who impersonally weave the threads of human destiny. They clearly take a perverse delight in using their knowledge of the future to toy with and destroy human beings. Read an in-depth analysis of The Three Witches. Banquo -  The brave, noble general whose children, according to the witches’ prophecy, will inherit the Scottish throne. Like Macbeth, Banquo thinks ambitious thoughts, but he does not translate those thoughts into action. In a sense, Banquo’s character stands as a rebuke to Macbeth, since he represents the path Macbeth chose not to take: a path in which ambition need not lead to betrayal and murder. Appropriately, then, it is Banquo’s ghost—and not Duncan’s—that haunts Macbeth. In addition to embodying Macbeth’s guilt for killing Banquo, the ghost also reminds Macbeth that he did not emulate Banquo’s reaction to the witches’ prophecy. King Duncan -  The good King of Scotland whom Macbeth, in his ambition for the crown, murders. Duncan is the model of a virtuous, benevolent, and farsighted ruler. His death symbolizes the destruction of an order in Scotland that can be restored only when Duncan’s line, in the person of Malcolm, once more occupies the throne. Macduff -  A Scottish nobleman hostile to Macbeth’s kingship from the start. He eventually becomes a leader of the crusade to unseat Macbeth. The crusade’s mission is to place the rightful king, Malcolm, on the throne, but Macduff also desires vengeance for Macbeth’s murder of Macduff’s wife and young son. Malcolm -  The son of Duncan, whose restoration to the throne signals Scotland’s return to order following Macbeth’s reign of terror. Malcolm becomes a serious challenge to Macbeth with Macduff’s aid (and the support of England). Prior to this, he appears weak and uncertain


Who was the leader of the Labour Party when they were defeated in the 1979 General Election?

Labour's right is learning from the last civil war Get in touch Labour's right is learning from the last civil war As the Labour left fights to defend leader Jeremy Corbyn, Nick Clark argues that the early 1980s show how focusing on internal battles ends in giving way to the right Published Tue 22 Mar 2016 Issue No. 2496 Liverpool town hall was a stronghold of the Militant Tendency (Pic: Miguel Mendez/Wikimedia Commons) A battle was raging between the left and right inside the Labour Party in the early 1980s. The Labour right feared they were losing control. Two recently re-released books, Hammer of the Left by 1980s Labour politician John Golding and journalist Michael Crick’s Militant, look at what went on then. They are handbooks for a new generation of Labour right wingers learning how to fight old battles. The left, both inside and outside Labour, have lessons to learn from the 1980s too. When the Labour government was booted out of office in 1979 it had spent the previous two years making workers pay for a bosses’ crisis. A cap on public sector workers’ pay sparked a series of strikes in the winter of 1978-79—the “Winter of Discontent”. There was discontent inside Labour’s own ranks too. Party conferences and its national executive committee frequently passed motions opposed to Labour government policies. None of this bothered prime minister James Callaghan who, in the words of Golding, saw conference decisions “merely as declarations of opinion”. He took Labour into the 1979 general election on a right wing manifesto—and lost. Workers were not inspired to vote for a party that had spent years attacking them, while union leaders held back the struggle. Michael Foot (Pic: National Archive of the Netherlands) Yet anger among Labour activists produced a swing to the left. Denis Healey, the right’s replacement for Callaghan, was defeated by the left’s candidate Michael Foot. But this wasn’t enough to satisfy the Labour left’s desire for change. They demanded the right to re-select sitting MPs before elections and a change in the way the party leader was elected. Previously the leader was elected by Labour MPs only. But in 1981 the left won a proposal to elect leaders by a “college” of union bloc votes, Constituency Labour Parties and MPs. This small rule change was enough for some right wing Labour MPs, who feared they would further lose control, to threaten resignation. For the left, it was a huge step forwards. That same year, Tony Benn launched a challenge for Labour deputy leader. Benn’s campaign rallies attracted thousands of Labour party activists. They were excited by the rise of the left—and the prospect of a Labour Party that could offer a genuine alternative to Margaret Thatcher. This excitement reflected a genuine desire among sections of workers and trade unionists for a party that can fight for their interests against the Tories and the bosses. For many, that party was Labour. But for Labour politicians, winning elections means having to appeal to voters from all sections of society—not just workers and the left. So they talk of governing in a “national interest”. What they’re really saying is that they’ll try to manage capitalism responsibly—and that means acting in the bosses’ interests. Marxists Tony Cliff and Donny Gluckstein explained that this contradiction is at the heart of the tension between the left and right inside Labour. They wrote, “Labour voices working class aspirations but only to the extent that they can be fitted into the workings of the national state. “The balance between the two factors is represented in the split between Labour’s left and right—each side representing one aspect of the common reformist whole.” Because the position of Labour MPs relies entirely on being elected, this rightward pull is stronger on them than the activists at Labour’s base. Unfortunately Labour’s focus on parliament and elections also means that MPs are more powerful. So when a group of Labour MPs broke away to form the Social Democratic Party (SDP) in 1981, it actually strengthened the right. Crick desc


Grey Street, named after Prime Minister Earl Grey, is a major street in which British city?

Grey Street, Newcastle upon Tyne Free Pictures from FreeFoto.com - 1043-06-0  1 of 1 pages (32 items)    Photographs of Grey Street in Newcastle upon Tyne. The classical features of Grey Street are of particular note. Built of local stone block in a typical regency style it was designed by John Dobson and Richard Grainger in 1830. The street was once described by the Prime Minister, Gladstone in 1862 as our best modern street. Sir John Betjeman also said As for the curve of Grey Street, I shall never forget seeing it to perfection, traffic-less on a misty Sunday morning. Not even Regent Street, even old Regent Street London, can compare with that descending subtle curve. Grey Street is named after the British Prime minister Earl Grey (1830-34), whose monument stands at the head of the street. Earl Grey, a Northumbrian by birth, was the Prime Minister at the time of the Reform Bill of 1832.    Top Viewed Images from Newcastle upon tyne


Which outlaw was shot and killed by Bob Ford?

Robert Ford: The Man Who Shot Jesse James – Civil War Saga    3 Comments on Robert Ford: The Man Who Shot Jesse James Robert Newton Ford was an outlaw from Missouri born on January 31, 1862. Like many young Missouri men of his time, he grew up admiring the Civil War record and exploits of the famous bandit, Jesse James , a fellow Missouri native. Robert, who went by the nickname Bob, and his older brother Charles, finally got the chance to meet Jesse when they befriended him in 1880 while he was recruiting new members for his gang. The James-Younger gang had disbanded in 1876 after a botched robbery and James was in need of new recruits. Although he allowed Charles and Robert to join, neither brother played a large role in the gang. Charles did help Jesse rob a train in Glendale in September of 1881 but there are no records of Robert participating in any robberies. Robert Ford posing with the gun that killed Jesse James, circa 1882-1892 Two of the gang members, Wood Hite, a cousin of Jesse James, and a friend of Ford’s named Dick Liddil, were on the run from the law in December of 1881 and taking refuge at the house of Robert Ford’s sister when an argument between Hite and Liddil got out of hand. The men took shots at each before Ford stepped in and shot Hite in the head, killing him instantly. Fearing James would kill him and Liddil for murdering his cousin, Ford buried him in a shallow grave in the woods. In January of 1882, Sheriff James Timberlake detained Ford and question him about Hite’s death. When authorities discovered he was a member of James’ gang, they offered to strike a deal. According to Ford, on January 12, Governor Crittenden offered Ford a pardon for the murder and a $10,000 reward for the capture of either Jesse James or his brother Frank, dead or alive. Greedy and desperate to avoid prison, Ford agreed. On January 24, Liddil surrendered to Timberlake and confessed to his role in Hite’s murder. His confession was later reprinted in the book The Trial of Frank James for Murder: With Confessions from Dick Liddil and Clarence Hite: “…Next morning, I came down to breakfast, and Wood Hite, who had come from Kentucky three or four days before, was there, and Bob Ford came down a fw minutes afterward. When Wood Hite first came in he spoke to me, and I told him I did not want him to speak to me, as he had accused me of stealing $100 at the divide in the Blue Cut robbery. I told him he lied; he said he could prove it (his accusation) by Mrs. Bolton, and I wanted him to prove it. He then denied ever saying anything of the kind. I told him he did say it, and we both commenced drawing our pistols. We fired about the same time. He shot me through the right leg between the knee and the hip, and I shot him through the right arm. He fired four times at me and I five times at him, and then I snapped another barrel at him. I drew my other pistol when he commenced falling. Bob Ford fired one shot at him. I did not know this until afterward, when he (Bob) exhibited the empty chamber. The wound that killed Hite was through the head. It struck him about two inches above the right eye and came out in front of and a little above the left ear. Bob claimed that his shot was the fatal one. Hite lived 15 or 20 minutes, but did not speak. We carried him upstairs, and that night of Dec. 4, Cap and Bob dug a grave in the woods about a half a mile from the house and buried him. My leg was too sore to help. We did not use a coffin…On the night of Thursday, the twenty-ninth of December, Jesse and Charlie Ford came down to Mrs. Bolton’s, where I had been since being wounded and tried to get me to go with them. They claimed to have come from Nebraska. I declined to go. I mistrusted Jesse wanted to kill me and so left. This was on Saturday night, December 31, 1881. Jesse and Charlie left the next night for the old lady’s I was told. This was the last time I ever saw him, and I have never seen Charlie Ford since. After the raid on Mrs. Bolton’s house early in January, 1882, I concluded to surrender.” Due to fears that Jesse James would ki

Which author, in 1859, founded the weekly magazine 'All The Year Round', a successor to 'Household Words'?

All the Year Round A Weekly Journal Conducted by Charles Dickens 1859-64 - London - Chapman and Hall 9.5" by 6"; various paginations   | Scarce and decorative antiquarian books and first editions on all subjects | Rare Books | Rooke Books DETAILS An uncommon uniiformly bound set of the Victorian periodical All the Year Round. All the Year Round was a British weekly literary magazine founded and owned by Charles Dickens, published between 1859 and 1895 throughout the United Kingdom. Edited by Dickens, it was the direct successor to his previous publication Household Words, abandoned due to differences with his former publisher. All the Year Round contained the same mixture of fiction and non-fiction as Household Words but with a greater emphasis on literary matters and less on journalism. Nearly 11 per cent of the non-fiction articles in All the Year Round dealt with some aspect of international affairs or cultures. Old tales of crime (especially with a French or Italian setting), new developments in science (including the theories of Charles Darwin), lives and struggles of inventors, tales of exploration and adventure in distant parts, and examples of self-help among humble folk, are among the topics which found a ready welcome from Dickens. These 9 volumes are from the "First Series", which spanned from Vol. 1 (30 April 1859) to Vol. 20 (28 November 1868). Each volume was 26 numbers, or half a year, long. Each volume features serialisations of works of fiction, with Dicken's A Tale of Two Cities being in volumes I and II, his Great Expectations in volume IV with the second half absent, as stated below. Other serialisations include Wilkie Collin's The Woman in White and Bulwer-Lytton's A Strange Story. Each even numbered volume also the contains the extra Christmas number to the rear. 9 volumes of 10 with the fifth volume (V) absent. All volumes are first edition. CONDITION Uniformly bound in contemporary half calf over marbled boards. Externally, rather rubbed to boards with some light wear to spines and other extremities. Corners bumped. Some loss to backstrip of volume II. Front hinge of volume II strained. Internally, firmly bound. Pages clean and bright throughout with only the very occasional spot or handling mark. Neat ink inscription to front pastedown of each volume. Overall: GOOD with VERY GOOD INDEED interiors. ADD TO BASKET


Fleance appears in Shakespeare's Macbeth, whose son is he?

No Fear Shakespeare: Macbeth: Characters No Fear Shakespeare Act 1, Scene 1 Macbeth A Scottish general and the thane of Glamis.         (“Thane” is a Scottish title of nobility, and Glamis is a         village in eastern Scotland.) Macbeth is led to wicked thoughts by the prophecies of         three witches, especially after their prophecy that he will be made thane of Cawdor         comes true. Macbeth is a brave soldier and a powerful man, but he is not virtuous.         He is easily tempted into murder to fulfill his ambitions to the throne, and once he         commits his first crime and is crowned king of Scotland, he embarks on further         atrocities with increasing ease. Macbeth cannot maintain his power because his         increasingly brutal actions make him hated as a tyrant. Unlike         Shakespeare’s other great villains, such as Iago in Othello and Richard III         in Richard III, who revel in their villainy, Macbeth is never comfortable in his         role as a criminal. He shows at the beginning of the play that he knows right from         wrong, and chooses to do wrong without being able to justify it to himself.         Ultimately, he is unable to bear the psychic consequences of his atrocities. Lady Macbeth Macbeth’s wife, a deeply ambitious woman who lusts for power and         position. Early in the play she seems to be the stronger and more ruthless of the         two, as she urges her husband to kill Duncan and seize the crown. After the         bloodshed begins, however, Lady Macbeth falls victim to guilt and madness to an even         greater degree than her husband. Her conscience affects her to such an extent that         she eventually commits suicide. At the beginning of the play, Macbeth and Lady         Macbeth apparently feel quite passionately for one another, and Lady Macbeth         exploits her sexual hold over Macbeth as a means to persuade him to commit murder.         However, their shared alienation from the world, occasioned by their partnership in         crime, does not bring them closer together, but instead seems to numb their feelings         for one another. The Three Witches Three mysterious hags who plot mischief against Macbeth using charms,         spells, and prophecies. Their predictions prompt him to murder Duncan, to order the         deaths of Banquo and his son, and to blindly believe in his own immortality. The         play leaves the witches' true nature unclear we don’t         really know whether they make their own prophecies come true, or where they get         their knowledge from. In some ways they resemble the mythological Fates, who         impersonally wove the threads of human destiny. They clearly take a perverse delight         in using their knowledge of the future to toy with and destroy human beings. Banquo The brave, noble general whose children, according to the         witches' prophecy, will inherit the Scottish throne. Like Macbeth, Banquo         thinks ambitious thoughts, but he does not translate those thoughts into action. In         a sense, Banquo’s character stands as a rebuke to Macbeth, since he         represents the path Macbeth chose not to take: a path in which ambition need not         lead to betrayal and murder. Appropriately, then, it is Banquo’s         ghost and not Duncan’s that haunts Macbeth. In         addition to embodying Macbeth’s guilt for killing Banquo, the ghost also         reminds Macbeth that he did not emulate Banquo’s reaction to the         witches' prophecy. King Duncan The good king of Scotland whom Macbeth, ambitious for the crown, murders.         Duncan is the model of a virtuous, benevolent ruler. His death symbolizes the         destruction of an order in Scotland that ca


Tuna | Species | WWF Species e Habitats Oceans If fish were like cars, tuna would be the Ferraris of the ocean—sleek, powerful, and made for speed. Their torpedo-shaped bodies streamline their movement through water, and their special swimming muscles enable them to cruise the ocean highways with great efficiency. Tuna are remarkable and impressive wild animals. The Atlantic bluefin can reach ten feet in length and weigh as much as 1500 pounds (more than a horse). Their specialized body shape, fins and scales enable some species of tuna to swim as fast as 43 miles per hour. Tuna swim incredible distances as they migrate. Some tuna are born in the Gulf of Mexico, cross the entire Atlantic Ocean to feed off coast of Europe, and then swim all the way back to the Gulf to breed. These extraordinary marine animals are also integral to the diet of millions and are one of the most commercially valuable fish. The majority of the market is made up of four species: skipjack, yellowfin, bigeye and albacore. As the methods of catching tuna have improved over the years, the conservation and management of tuna has not evolved as quickly. According to the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization, most tuna stocks are fully exploited (meaning there is no room for fishery expansion) and some are already overexploited (there is a risk of stock collapse). Some tuna can swim as fast as 43 miles per hour Places Are We Buying the Fish We Think We’re Buying? WWF is urging the US government to establish regulations, including the proposal of a national traceability program to track seafood from the point where it is caught to its entry into the US, under which all species of fish are eventually covered. Skipjack Tuna Why They Matter Tuna are among the most commercially valuable fish on the planet. The Atlantic bluefin is a highly sought-after delicacy for sushi and sashimi in Asia—a single fish has sold for over $700,000! Driven by such high prices, fishermen use even more refined techniques to catch tuna. And the fish are disappearing as a result. Although tuna do provide food and livelihoods for people, they are more than just seafood. Tuna are a top predator in the marine food chain, maintaining a balance in the ocean environment. Threats The tuna oceanic highways have turned into gauntlets lined with giant nets and endless lines of fishing boats. Fishermen have resorted to high-tech ways to catch tuna, including devices that draw the fish into bunches so that fishermen can catch more of them at once. Many of the world’s valuable tuna species face a number of urgent yet common threats to their continued existence such as significant population declines, poor international conservation management, and high levels of illegal, unreported, and unregulated (pirate) fishing. Illegal fishing of Atlantic bluefin tuna is a big problem and the fishery has been plagued by lack of enforcement and control. What WWF Is Doing WWF focuses on transforming the global tuna fisheries market and improving the way tuna fisheries are managed and governed. Our approach is for tuna stocks to be managed as integral parts of the entire marine ecosystem. WWF works on seven tuna populations with the highest market value and therefore most vulnerable to overfishing: the Atlantic, Southern and Pacific bluefin, bigeye, yellowfin, albacore and skipjack tuna. We work with other organizations as well as the fishing, processing and retailing sector to transform tuna fishing into a sustainable business. Our goal is to achieve Marine Stewardship Council (MSC) certification for healthy and well-managed tuna populations. Stopping Overfishing In the Mediterranean, WWF has been working for over 10 years to protect Atlantic bluefin tuna. We work to stop overfishing and ensure recovery of the Eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean stock. WWF has been very influential in most of the decisions made by the International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT), the body that regulates the fisheries. Tuna Tagging Since 2008, WWF has been tagging Atlantic bluefin tuna i


Which car company produced the Karmann-Ghia between 1955 and 1974?

1956 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia (1200) - Conceptcarz 1956 Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Sold for $67,100 at 2011 Gooding & Company . The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Coupe was in production until the end of 1959. They had an elegant front fender line which curved down to the headlight and squared taillight units that are unique to these vehicles. This Karmann Ghia was has been given a show-winning restoration. The 36 horsepower engine case was discovered to be original to the car, and it was fastidiously rebuilt. To increase performance, a period-correct Judson supercharger was installed. The engine offers approximately 60 horsepower and is mated to a four-speed gearbox. There are four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes and a Torsion bar front suspension. In 2011, the car was offered for sale at the Gooding & Company auction held in Pebble Beach, California. It was estimated to sell for $75,000 - $95,000. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $67,100 inclusive of buyer's premium. By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2011 In 1950, Karmann approached Volkswagen with a design for a new vehicle. Karmann had a working relationship with Volkswagen that went prior to this project that included the Volkswagen Beetle Cabriolet. The idea was initially rejected by Volkswagen so Karmann approached the coachbuilding company Carrozzeria Ghia of Turin who built the first prototype of the vehicle, completing in 1953. In November of 1953, Nordhoff, the head of Volkswagen at the time, gave approval for the vehicle to be built by his company. On July 14th in 1955, the vehicle was unveiled to the public. There were basically three types of the Karmann-Ghia's built during its life span that included the type 14, type 34, and the TC. The type 14 featured a round body-style that received very little modifications through its production life-span, dating from 1955 through 1974. Most of the modifications that did transpire were head and tail light modifications, bumper and side air vent changes. During which time about 340,000 coupes and 81,000 convertibles were produced in Osnabruck Germany. Manufacturing continued from 1962 through 1972 in Sao Bernardo do Campo in Brazil where 176 convertibles and about 23,000 coupes were produced. These type 14 models were basically unaltered for the original design except for different bumpers, taillights and vent windows. The Type 34, or 'Razor Edge', was produced from 1961 through 1969 during which time 43,000 examples were produced. It was introduced in September of 1961 at the Frankfurt Auto show. The Type 34 were 'boxier' than their Type 14 counterparts and cost more to produce. The interior was larger and better equipped, the structure was stronger, and the engine was faster. They were built in coupe design only, however in 1962 a sunroof could be had. The engine was initially 1500cc in size but later increased to 1600cc. The 1600 TC, which stood for Touring Coupe, was produced in Brazil from 1970 through 1975. They were based on the design of the type 34. During its lifespan, 18,000 examples were produced. By Daniel Vaughan | Sep 2006 A red sports car barrels through a deserted landscape, driven by a helmet-clad professional as an excited announcer extols the virtues of the commercial's featured automobile. Surely Volkswagen did not invent this archetypal format of romanticized car ad when they borrowed it to market their Karmann Ghia to bored TV audiences. Volkswagen's seemingly ordinary commercial included a twist ending, though. As the camera follows the sleek sports car deeper into the surrounding scenery, a paper wall emerges in the corner of the screen. Okay, okay—so this isn't really all that new of an idea either, right? The car will smash through the paper barrier and appear on the other side, some tired metaphor for the birth of a supposedly new automotive idea, looking even more glamorous and wonderful than ever. But that's not how Volkswagen ended their commercial. Instead, their Karmann Ghia plows into the wall, not through it. The thin paper barrier stops the little car that couldn't dead in


Who was the captain of the Wales rugby union team who was sent off in the semi-final of the 2011 World Cup?

Slam dunk: Sam Warburton tips Vincent Clerc on his head Photo: GETTY IMAGES By Telegraph staff and agencies 9:46AM BST 15 Oct 2011 Openside flanker Warburton was red-carded by Irish referee Alain Rolland after a dangerous 18th minute 'tip tackle' on Vincent Clerc which saw the France wing land on his head. Warburton's red card meant Wales had to play the rest of the match a man down, having already lost veteran prop Adam Jones through injury. At half-time, the decision was met with widespread disapproval. South Africa's former world-cup winning captain Francois Pienaar said: "It was a dangerous tackle, yes. A penalty, yes. Never a red card. "Sam Warburton has been one of the cleanest players at the World Cup. He (Rolland) has killed the game. I'm livid.

What name is given to the slender glass tube used to deliver a fixed volume of liquid, especially used in chemistry?

Measuring Volumes - WikiLectures Measuring Volumes    Thank you for your review (★)    Volumetric Vessels and other Tools in the Chemical Laboratory[ edit | edit source ] Various laboratory vessels and devices are used for preparation of solutions and manipulation with liquids. They differ in the intended use and in accuracy. Precise volume must always be measured at constant temperature because, due to thermal expansion, changes in temeprature are followed by changes in volume. For example water at 10 °C has much smaller volume than at 80 °C. Volumetric vessels are usually calibrated for 20 °C (25 °C in the USA). Calibration temperature is written at every volumetric vessel. Substantial error may result e.g. from change in temperature during dilution of an acid. A lot of heat is released during dilution and temperature increases. When the volume of acid is measured immediately, the real volume after cooling-down will be smaller. The requirement for constant temperature must therefore be observed asses Devices for measuring volume of liquids Device  * not suitable for measuring volumes, only approximate volume indicated Beakers[ edit | edit source ] Beaker Beakers are used for approximate determination of volume of liquids therefor are not necessarily classified as measuring tools. They are used especially for dissolving compounds, diluting liquids, heating and other operations. Beakers are unique for there 'beak' that is used to pour liquids. Because of low accuracy, they are frequently not classified as volumetric devices. Volumetric Flasks and Cylinders[ edit | edit source ] Volumetric cylinder and volumetric flask Volumetric cylinders and volumetric flasks are used to measure volume of liquids contained in them. They are calibrated for volume included in them - this is indicated by the marking "IN". The liquid has accurate volume when it reaches the corresponding marking on the scale. Volume is usually indicated in mL. During measurement of the volume the vessel must be placed on an even, horizontal support. The required volume is measured when the lower edge of meniscus of the liquid just touches the marking on the vessel. Cylinders are less accurate, volumetric flasks are used for preparation of solutions of exact concentration. Cylinders are used solely for measuring volume, they are not employed for dissolution, dilution or mixing. Burettes, Pipettes, Dispensers and Syringes[ edit | edit source ] Burettes, pipettes, dispensers and syringes measure volume of a liquid delivered to another vessel. Pipettes and burettes are usually calibrated for outpouring. It is indicated by letters "EX" (from exclude). The exact volume is measured when the liquid is kept to flow out from a certain marking on the scale. Some liquid may remain in a pipette after outpouring; it should never ever ever be blown out, its volume was taken ito account during calibration. Burettes. Burettes Burettes are used for titrations or whenever the same liquid is repetitively measured. Burette is a glass or plastic tube with calibrated scale closed with a stopcock. Burette is attached to a stand in a vertical position. With a closed vent, it is filled with the measured liquid. Some liquid is then outpoured so that the meniscus touches marking of the scale. Now, burette is ready for titration. The liquid is outpoured with the stopcock and the volume is read on the scale. The most important moment is reading the volume; with burette, the volume is always read twice: first to read the starting position of the meniscus and the second time to read the end position. As the difference in volume is calculated, it is not important how exactly the volume is read, it must however be read in the same way every time. Automatic burettes are employed in routine laboratories. Glass pipettes. Glass pipettes Today, glass pipettes are rarely used in contemporary routine laboratories; glass pipettes were replaced by semiautomatic dispensers. The volume of glass pipettes may vary from 1 to 100 mL. Glass pipettes can be non-scaled for measuring of a certain volume or sca


The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries which canal over the River Dee?

Pontcysyllte Aqueduct · Lomography 2011-02-25 1 3 Share Tweet The Pontcysyllte Aqueduct carries the Llangollen Canal as it passes over the wide River Dee Valley between Llangollen and Wrexham in North-East Wales. The aqueduct runs from Trevor, landing at Fontcysyllte on the Southern end. If you happen to be in North-East Wales then it’s definitely worth walking over, or under! Credits: phil2k90 Parking at Trevor Basin, there is a small visitor centre where the canal forms a T junction – across the water the ‘stem’ disappears under the red-stone arch of a small hump-back road bridge. Through the warmer months there are always canal boats and walkers around. Looking along the tow-path, the canal appears to extend through unbroken landscape, as far as the eye can see. It’s only after walking along the path for a few meters that you realise you’ve been looking over the aqueduct itself – all of 307 meters long and standing 38 meters high on 19 huge stone pillars. The tow-path is wide enough for one person to walk along comfortably, but you’ll have to stand flat against the railing for someone to pass, and they’ll be uncomfortably close to the canal! The canal however, will only take boats in one direction at a time, and there’s a sheer drop over the side. Whether you’re taking one of the scheduled boat trips over though, or just walking, the views over the Dee Valley are fantastic! Enjoy.


In the Bible, which king of Israel was the husband of Jezebel?

7. My Way— The Story of Ahab and Jezebel | Bible.org From the series: Living in Love: Secrets from Bible Marriages PREVIOUS PAGE | NEXT PAGE 7. My Way— The Story of Ahab and Jezebel King David had been absent from the scene of Hebrew history for about 135 years when this story opens. His great kingdom, enlarged and more richly endowed by his son Solomon, had been fractured into two weakened fragments. The southern kingdom of Judah was being ruled by his descendants, while the northern kingdom of Israel suffered under a succession of wicked men at the helm. One of them was the husband in the next marital relationship we want to study. He is introduced to the pages of Scripture with these shocking words: “And Ahab the son of Omri did evil in the sight of the Lord more than all who were before him” (1 Kgs. 16:30). He had the dubious distinction of being the most wicked king who reigned over Israel up until his day. We expect almost anything from a man that degenerate, and are not surprised to read, “And it came about, as though it had been a trivial thing for him to walk in the sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, that he married Jezebel the daughter of Ethbaal king of the Sidonians, and went to serve Baal and worshiped him” (1 Kgs. 16:31). “Sidonians” was another name for the Phoenicians, that seafaring people on the Mediterranean coast who occupied the great cities of Tyre and Sidon. With the ever-present menace of Syria and the growing threat of Assyria, Ahab decided that he needed an alliance with this neighboring nation, so he made a treaty with the king of Phoenicia and sealed it by marrying his daughter. That is how Jezebel happened to move to Samaria, the capital of Israel, and there is only one way to describe it — a whirlwind hit Israel. The king of Phoenicia was not only the political leader of his people, he was also the high priest of their religion, as his name Ethbaal implies. Jezebel had grown up steeped in the worship of Baal and his female consort, Astarte (or Ashtoreth). Baal was considered to be the god of the land. He owned it, they said, and he controlled its weather and the increase of its crops and cattle. Ashtoreth was considered to be the mother-goddess of fertility. So idols of both Baal and Ashtoreth stood side by side in their temples and were worshiped by priests and temple prostitutes with lewd dances and sacred orgies, with the hope that their god and goddess would follow their example and increase the productivity of their agriculture, their animals, and their children. In times of crisis such as famine, they slashed themselves and even sacrificed their children to appease the gods and implore their help. Jezebel was fanatical about her religion. The worship of Jehovah must have seemed dull and commonplace by comparison, and she was determined to change it. She was a headstrong, self-willed, domineering woman, and with a moral weakling for a husband, she had little trouble getting her way. She got him to build a house for Baal beside the palace in Samaria, as well as an “Ashtoreth,” that is, an idol of the fertility goddess. Then she brought 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Ashtoreth from Phoenicia, housed them in the palace, and fed them in royal style. Their duties would have been to promote the worship of Baal and Ashtoreth throughout the land. Not satisfied to establish her religion in Israel, Jezebel sought to stamp out every remnant of Jehovah worship and to kill every true prophet of God. She had to have things completely her way, and she almost succeeded. Some prophets survived by compromising their convictions and turning into “yes” men for Ahab. Another group of 100 were hidden in a cave and fed secretly by a godly servant of Ahab named Obadiah. But Elijah was the only one courageous enough to stand up openly against Jezebel’s wickedness. God gave him a great victory when he called down fire from heaven upon Mount Carmel. The prophets of Baal were slain and it looked as though the nation would turn back to God. But Jezebel was not finished with her sinister work. She swore in


Give either of the real forenames of 'Bix' Beiderbecke?

Homage to Bix - Commentary Magazine Commentary Magazine Musicologists have yet to credit the influence and originality of an early jazz genius; his peers have always known better. Terry Teachout 2005-09-01 Facebook Twitter Google+ Email Print A Born two years and half a continent apart, Bix Beiderbecke and Louis Armstrong, the two most influential figures in the early history of jazz, emerged as major soloists on the same instrument (cornet) at the same time (early 1924). They were viewed with awe by their contemporaries, and their contrasting styles evolved over time into the twin lines of descent from which most of today's jazz can be traced. In addition, they knew, liked, and admired each other: Armstrong dedicated his first book, Swing That Music, to Beiderbecke, describing him on a later occasion as a “born genius,” and Beiderbecke is widely reported to have felt more or less the same way about his older colleague. Yet musicologists, while recognizing and acknowledging Beiderbecke's enduring significance, have nonetheless been strangely reluctant to treat him in the same way they treat Armstrong. Significantly, there is almost no monographic literature on Beiderbecke—none, that is, by academic scholars—and he goes entirely unmentioned in the key article on jazz in the second edition of the New Grove Dictionary of Music and Musicians. To be sure, he has been written about extensively, but for the most part by amateurs, journalistic critics, and working musicians. The latest book to be published about his life, Jean Pierre Lion's Bix: The Definitive Biography of a Jazz Legend, is the work of a French businessman who describes himself on the dust jacket as “a literature and music collector” and who appears to have had no musical training whatsoever. 1 The most obvious reason for this difference in treatment is that Beiderbecke is white and Armstrong black. In the politically charged creation myth that still dominates much of the received thinking about jazz, it is taken for granted that black jazz is more “authentic” than white jazz and that all white jazz musicians are by definition derivative. But, unfortunately for those who seek to put together the puzzles of history according to the rules of politics, there are always pieces left over at the end. In jazz, the first and biggest of these pieces is Beiderbecke—born into a middle-class Iowa family, initially exposed to jazz through the early recordings of the all-white Original Dixieland Jazz Band, and propelled to fame as a soloist in the all-white orchestra of Paul Whiteman, where he played in a self-taught style whose unlikely source was the harmonic language of Debussy and Ravel. The difficulty is only deepened by the fact that, almost without exception, black musicians of the 1920's and 30's were as quick as their white colleagues to acclaim Beiderbecke as a major innovator. “All of a sudden, comes this white boy from out west, playin' stuff all his own,” the black cornet player Rex Stewart would recall years later. “Didn't sound like Louis [Armstrong] or anybody else. But just so pretty. And that tone he got. Knocked us all out.” The great black bandleader Fletcher Henderson even went so far as to record in 1931 a “cover version” of “Singin' the Blues” on which Stewart, who later became one of Duke Ellington's best-known soloists, plays a note-for-note interpretation of Beiderbecke's solo from his celebrated 1927 recording of the same song. 2 But racial politics is not the only reason why scholars have paid more attention to Armstrong than to Beiderbecke. Not only was Louis Armstrong a great musician, but he was also a gifted writer of prose who had a passion for self-revelation. In two published memoirs, dozens of magazine and newspaper articles, and hundreds of letters and other autobiographical documents, he gave free rein to his outgoing personality. Beiderbecke, by contrast, was a shy, comparatively inarticulate man whose 44 surviving letters are for the most part unrevealing, and his friends and colleagues all claimed to find him hard to know on anything b


Who designed the wedding dress for the Duchess of Cambridge?

Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress on display - BBC News BBC News Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress on display 22 July 2011 Close share panel Media captionCurator Caroline de Guitaut explains the design of the dress The Duchess of Cambridge's wedding dress, designed by Alexander McQueen's Sarah Burton, is to go on display at Buckingham Palace on Saturday. The dress will be in the palace's ballroom from 23 July to 3 October during its annual summer opening. Curator Caroline de Guitaut said it was "very fitting" the exhibition was where the royal wedding reception took place. Ms Burton said Kate had wanted a dress with "presence and of historical importance" with a contemporary feel. The designer, whose identity was a closely guarded secret until the duchess's marriage to Prince William on 29 April, has rarely spoken about the dress. In a film of Ms Burton, which will also be on display alongside the dress in Buckingham Palace, the designer said she had wanted the dress "to look to the past, yet look to the future as well". Image caption The embroiderers washed their hands every 30 minutes to keep the lace pristine "There were a lot of references to Victorian corsetry, the padded hip, the tiny cinched-in waist, and also to the arts and crafts movement with all of the hand-work on the lace of the dress and also the bustle inside to create the shape of the back of the dress. "It has an essence of Victorian but we cut the dress in a very modern way. It is in a very light fabric. Also the pleats and the folds create a modern feel rather than a historical piece. "I think what we wanted to achieve was something that was incredibly beautiful and intricately worked." Ms Burton also described the dress - which includes six different types of lace - as a "real feat of engineering". Ms de Guitaut said she thinks visitors will be surprised by "how much detail and how much work" went into the creation of the dress. The dress in detail 1.

The duchess's bridal gown featured lace applique floral detail - which was hand-made by embroiderers at the Royal School of Needlework at Hampton Court Palace - and was made of ivory and white satin gazar. The dress has a series of lace motifs including a rose, thistle, daffodil and shamrock to represent England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. Each motif, some as small as a five pence piece, was applied with minute stitches every two to three millimetres. The duchess's veil, tiara, Alexander McQueen bridal shoes and diamond earrings will also form part of the display. Her veil, which was made of layers of soft, ivory silk tulle with a trim of hand-embroidered flowers, was also embroidered by the Royal School of Needlework. The 1936 Cartier "halo" tiara was lent to the bride by the Queen, while Kate's diamond earrings were commissioned by the Middleton family as a personal gift to the bride from her parents. William and Kate's multi-tiered wedding cake, created by cake designer Fiona Cairns, will be recreated and shown in the state dining room to complement the wedding dress exhibition. Ms Cairns said the cake, which was covered in cream and white icing and decorated with up to 900 delicate sugar-paste flowers, was a "very rich, dark traditional fruitcake". Meanwhile it has emerged that the royal couple kept the top two tiers of their eight-tiered wedding cake - a tradition usually undertaken by couples who plan to serve the cake at the christening of their first born. Ms Burton joined Alexander McQueen's studio in 1996 as an intern, working alongside hi

The Mr. Men Show Mr. Bump in The Mr Men Show In the 2008 TV series The Mr. Men Show , Mr. Bump is a regular character. He kept his looks except he is dark blue and one of his bandages is gone (However the third bandage missing was a common gag in the books and older cartoons) and is always having accidents often non-bump related, e.g. accidentally being cleaned in a car wash. Like Mr. Grumpy and Mr. Small , his favorite food is liverwurst sandwiches, as mentioned in the Beach episode. He lives in a square house with a black chimney and a bandaged roof. Often, Little Miss Whoops (or Little Miss Helpful) is the cause of his accidents. He also lives next door to his sister, Little Miss Whoops, as stated on the Cartoon Network website.

Who was the manager of Burnley FC when they won promotion to the Premier League in 2009?

Burnley Football Club - Official Site of the Premier League | Burnley Founded: 1882 | Nickname: The Clarets | Ground: Turf Moor | Capacity: 22,700 Burnley Football Club Turf Moor, Harry Potts Way, Burnley BB10 4BX Tel: 0871 221 1882 Burnley Overview Burnley are making their first appearance in the Premier League after winning promotion via the Championship play-offs. The Clarets ran out 1-0 winners against Sheffield United at Wembley thanks to a brilliant Wade Elliott strike. The Lancashire club are back in England's top flight after an absence of 33 years but they have a glorious past with two league titles and an FA Cup among their trophy cabinet. They are one of the few clubs to have won the title in each of the four divisions. club heritage Burnley were among the 12 founder members of The Football League in 1888 and ended their first campaign in ninth. Their first trophy arrived in 1890 with the Lancashire Cup after a 2-0 final triumph over local rivals Blackburn Rovers. They dropped down to the Second Division in 1897 and changed their colours from green to their now traditional claret and sky blue for the 1910/11 season. They returned to the top flight two years later, then claimed the FA Cup win with victory over Liverpool in 1914. The league title was clinched in 1921 after Burnley came second the previous season. On the way to the championship, they went on a 30-match unbeaten run, which was a record for unbeaten matches in a season until Arsenal's unbeaten streak during the whole of 2003/04. Relegation to the second tier came in 1930 but the Turf Moor club bounced back in 1946 before reaching the FA Cup final a year later. In 1960, Burnley claimed another league title sealing it on the final day with a 2-1 win at Manchester City. In their debut season in Europe, the Clarets reached the 1961 quarter-finals of the European Cup when they bowed out to Hamburger SV. They finished league runners-up in 1962 and also reached the FA Cup final but lost out to Tottenham Hotspur. Seven years later, Burnley went on a run to the quarter-finals of the Fairs Cup before exiting to Eintracht Frankfurt. The year 1971 saw Burnley relegated but they won promotion with the second Division title two years after. Things went downhill fast for the Clarets as they fell into the Second Division again in 1976 and then four years later came relegation into the Third Division followed by a drop into the Fourth Division in 1985. Burnley clinched the Fourth Division title in 1992 and two years later won promotion through the play-offs to the league's second tier. They went down after just a season but won promotion back to England's second level in 2000 and remained there until their triumphant promotion in 2009. That season included a fine run to the Carling Cup semi-final claiming the scalps of Barclays Premier League sides Fulham, Chelsea and Arsenal. Premier League history 2009/10 - Manager Owen Coyle leaves the club to be replaced by Brian Laws Matches on the 5th of May will not clash with the FA Cup Final and may accordingly move to a different kick off time on the Saturday or to the Sunday.

Which US TV series, originally broadcast in the late 1980s and early 1990s, was set in the offices of McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak?

L. A. Law | Archive of American Television About This Show About This Show From Wikipedia L.A. Law is an American television legal drama that ran from 1986 to 1994. L.A. Law reflected the social and cultural ideologies of the 1980s and early 1990s and many of the cases on the show dealt with hot topic issues such as abortion, racism, gay rights, homophobia, sexual harassment, AIDS, and domestic violence. Location The series was set in and around the fictitious Los Angeles law firm McKenzie, Brackman, Chaney and Kuzak, located in the 444 Flower Building, and featured attorneys at the firm and various members of the support staff. Story The show often combined humor and drama, sometimes in the same episode. The show's quirky sort of humor can be shown in the opening of the first episode of the series, where we see only the back and hand of partner Chaney, seated at a desk, suddenly gripping the pages of a tax manual, drop dead of a heart attack. Later in that episode, in front of his partners, friends and his wife, a man appears to speak at Chaney's eulogy, to announce how "I first met him at a gay bar," and thus Chaney had been in the closet as either bisexual or a gay man with a wife. A running gag throughout the series was the overtly promiscuous lifestyle of divorce lawyer Arnie Becker, and his chronic and constant liaisons with women, up to and including bedding some of his own clients. This would end up causing problems when a client would use him to set up her (estranged) husband to be murdered. Steven Bochco used a similar incident in Hill Street Blues when a woman bedded one of the police officers in the squad and tricked him into shooting her ex-husband when he (apparently) broke into her house. To some extent, the sexual peccadillos of almost the entire cast would become fodder for episodes of the series. After Grace Van Owen makes a comment that he'd have to be a monkey before she'd be interested in Michael Kuzak, he woos her on the courthouse steps in a monkey suit. Douglas Brackman becomes involved with a sex therapist. Benny Stulwitz, a developmentally disabled clerk at the office, has sex with the developmentally disabled daughter of a client of the firm. Leland McKenzie and Rosalynd Shays, supposedly enemies, secretly become lovers. The show tied itself into the events of the Los Angeles riots of 1992, which were prompted by the acquittal of four white police officers who placed on trial for the videotaped beating of African American motorist Rodney King. Tax attorney Stuart Markowitz is struck on the head by a rioter, and ends up having serious head injuries, causing a number of problems for him and his wife for several episodes as a result. In one scene later in the series, Rosalynd Shays and Leland McKenzie are standing together, talking and waiting for an elevator in the corridor outside the firm's offices. When the elevator bell rings to signal its arrival, Rosalynd turns and steps into the elevator, only to have us hear her screams as we discover she had stepped into the elevator shaft, when the elevator doors had opened without the elevator car present (a type of malfunction that is not possible with modern elevator systems). The show did not shy away from controversy, with a scene in one episode where one of the female lawyers, Abby Perkins, has an on-screen (romantic) kiss with C.J. Lamb, another female lawyer who is openly bisexual. Series history L.A. Law took over NBC's prized Thursday 10PM (9PM Central) time slot from another Bochco-produced show, Hill Street Blues, and was itself eventually replaced by another hit ensemble drama, ER. Bochco had been fired from Hill Street Blues in 1985. L.A. Law's original time period was Friday 10PM following Miami Vice but after struggling there, NBC decided to move it to Thursdays as Hill Street Blues was winding down. The original two-hour movie aired on Monday, September 15, 1986. The series was a critical favorite before it had premiered. An encore of the movie aired in place of Saturday Night Live on September 27 being a rare scripted rerun in that lat


In which year did the following events occur; Helen Sharman became the first Briton in space, Tim Berners-Lee established the first website and Robert Maxwell died?

CALENDAR - collected by p a pearson The celebration of Mayday originated as a festive day in pre-Christian Europe celebrating the first spring planting. A May Queen was selected from the eligible young women of the village, and a Robin Goodfellow, Lord of the Hunt, who reflected the hunting traditions of the woods. Also included was the raising of the Maypole, around which the young single men and women of the village would dance holding on to the ribbons until they became entwined, with their (hoped for) new love. The modern celebration of May Day as a working class holiday evolved from the struggle for the 8-hour day in in the late 19th Century. On this day in 1886, national strikes occurred in the United States and Canada for an 8-hour day. In 1889 Paris, the International Working Men's Association declared 1 May an international working class holiday in commemoration of those who died in the subsequent riots. Hawaiian Lei Day In early 1928, writer and poet Don Blanding wrote an article in a local paper suggesting that a holiday be created centered around the Hawaiian custom of making and wearing lei. It was fellow writer Grace Tower Warren who came up with the idea of a holiday in conjunction with May Day. The first Lei Day was held in 1928, and everyone in Honolulu was encouraged to wear lei. Festivities were held downtown with hula, music, lei-making demonstrations and exhibits and lei making contests. In 1929, Lei Day was made an official holiday in the territory, a tradition which was interrupted only during the years of World War II, and which continues today. Law Day In 1958, President Dwight D. Eisenhower established 1 May as Law Day by proclamation as a day to honor the Constitutional heritage of liberty, justice, and equality under law which has guaranteed findamental rights of individuals. Instituted by the American Bar Association to draw attention to both the principles and practice of law and justice, each Law Day is built around a central theme. Law Day 2010 focuses on Law in the 21st Century: Enduring Traditions, Emerging Challenges, emphasizing the importance to recognize the need to adapt current practices to acquired cultural understandings in the global community. Loyalty Day Loyalty Day is a special day for the reaffirmation of loyalty to the United States and for the recognition of the heritage of American freedom. Mother Goose Day While it is generally agreed the collection of childrens rhymes and stories are derived from many sources, written and published by a wide variety of talented people, Mother Goose has developed to represent commonly known characters, such as Peter the Pumpkin Eater and Little Miss Muffet, delighting young children for over 400 years. The Mother Goose Society was founded in 1987 to encourage a love for the warm and comforting tradition of Mother Goose rhymes through the annual celebration of Mother Goose Day on 1 May.

Who was the captain of the Pakistan Test cricket team sentenced in 2011 to 30 months imprisonment for betting irregularities?

Misbah-ul-Haq keen on Salman Butt for England tour but UK Government set to veto recall | Cricket | ESPN Cricinfo 94 Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Comment 94 Pakistan's hopes of offering a controversial recall to Salman Butt for their forthcoming tour of England, six years after his involvement in the spot-fixing controversy at Lord's in 2010, could be stopped in their tracks by the UK Home Office, in spite of the willingness of Misbah-ul-Haq, the Pakistan captain, to consider him. Butt, who was then Pakistan captain, was jailed for 30 months for his part in the 2010 spot-fixing scandal that centred on delivering no-balls to order. The scandal erupted after the third day's play of the Lord's Test , following a News of the World sting. However, he served just seven months of the sentence before being allowed back to Pakistan under the UK government's early release scheme, which means that the person is formally deported and cannot return to the UK within 10 years of the end of the original sentence. In a section relating to refusing visas, the UK Home Office website states: "If a person has been sentenced to a period of between 12 months and less than 4 years imprisonment, the ECO [Entry Clearance Officer] must refuse the application until 10 years has passed since the end of the sentence. "The end of the sentence should be taken to mean the entire sentence imposed, not just the time a person spent in prison." The Home Office does not comment on individual cases. However, ESPNcricinfo understands that Butt's status as an international sportsman would not entitle him to preferential treatment. One such figure to be caught out by the law, which was amended in December 2012, was the boxer Mike Tyson. He was denied a UK visa for a promotional tour in 2013 on account of his criminal convictions for rape and assault. Butt's five-year ban from cricket was completed earlier this year and he has returned to action in the Pakistan domestic set-up. Butt, now 31, was the second-leading run-scorer in the National One-Day Cup with 536 runs at 107.20 and Waqar Younis, who recently resigned as coach, had been keen for him to be included the World T20 squad. Misbah said that the Pakistan Cup, a new tournament which begins this week, is another chance for Butt to impress. "We have a settled line up between Nos 3 and 7 but the opening slot is not as consistent as the rest of the order. There are issues and we are looking at a couple more options including Shan Masood and Salman Butt," Misbah told ESPNcricinfo. "Salman is playing well and overall I didn't see any such difference since he left [in 2010]. He is a good prospect and he has also scored ample runs after his comeback. Watching him in the nets he looks good, but now we have to see how well he will do in the upcoming tournament. If Butt was permitted to make the tour it would open up the possibility of him returning to international cricket at the scene of his crime. The Lord's Test in 2010 was the last of Butt's 33 caps and the ground will stage the first Test of Pakistan's visit this year. It would also raise the possibility of England facing two of the three players found guilty of spot-fixing in that contest. Mohammad Amir made his return to international cricket on the tour of New Zealand in January and also played in the recent World T20. A Test return is now on the cards in the England series although he, too, may face visa implications despite having played in New Zealand, Bangladesh and India this year. Successfully gaining a visa for those trips does not mean he will automatically be allowed back into the UK. He was denied a visa for the UK in 2014. The third of the players jailed, fast bowler Mohammad Asif, who is now 33, also returned to cricket in the same tournament as Butt but is not considered as close to an international return. The selection of Pakistan's Test squad for the tour to England will be the first major task for Inzamam-ul-Haq who was confirmed as their new chief selector on Monday.

Margrethe II is currently queen of which country?

Margrethe II of Denmark - Countries of the world Countries of the world Head of State Margrethe II (Danish pronunciation: [mɑˈɡ̊ʁæːˀd̥ə]), sometimes anglicised as Margaret II (full name: Margrethe Alexandrine Þórhildur Ingrid; born 16 April 1940) is the queen regnant of Denmark . As the eldest child of King Frederick IX and Ingrid of Sweden , she succeeded her father as following his death in 1972. On her accession on 14 January 1972, she became the first female monarch of Denmark since Margaret I, ruler of the Scandinavian countries in 1375–1412 during the Kalmar Union. Magrethe was born in 1940, but did not become heiress presumptive until 1953, when a constitutional amendment allowed women to inherit the throne (after it became clear that King Frederick was unlikely to have any male issue). In 1967, she married Henri de Laborde de Monpezat, with whom she has two sons: Crown Prince Frederik (born 1968) and Prince Joachim (born 1969). Early life Princess Margrethe was born on 16 April 1940 at Amalienborg Palace in Copenhagen as the first child of Crown Prince Frederick and Crown Princess Ingrid of Denmark . Her father was the eldest son of King Christian X and Queen Alexandrine of Denmark , and her mother was the only daughter of Crown Prince Gustav Adolf and Crown Princess Margaret of Sweden . Her birth took place just one week after Nazi Germany 's invasion of Denmark on 9 April 1940. She was baptised on 14 May 1940 in the Church of Holmen in Copenhagen . The princess's godparents were King Christian X of Denmark , Prince Knud of Denmark , Prince Axel of Denmark , King Gustaf V of Sweden , Crown Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden , Prince Gustaf Adolf of Sweden and Prince Arthur, Duke of Connaught and Strathearn. She was named Margrethe after her maternal grandmother, Alexandrine after her paternal grandmother, and Ingrid after her mother. Since her paternal grandfather, the then-reigning King Christian X, was also the King of Iceland at the time, and Margrethe until 1944 was an Icelandic princess, the Princess was as a tribute to the people of Iceland given an Icelandic name, Þórhildur, consisting of "Thor" and the word for "battle" or "fight". The name is spelled with the thorn letter, which is a surviving rune, and is equivalent to "th". It is sometimes anglicized as Thorhildur.[2] When Margrethe was four years old, in 1944, her first sister Princess Benedikte was born. She later married Prince Richard of Sayn-Wittgenstein-Berleburg and lives in Germany . Her third sister Princess Anne Marie was born in 1946. She later married Constantine II of Greece and now lives in London . On 20 April 1947, King Christian X died and Margrethe's father ascended the throne as King Frederick IX. Heiress presumptive The then Princess Margaret with Gamal Abdel Nasser in Cairo At the time of her birth, only males could ascend the throne of Denmark , owing to the changes in succession laws enacted in the 1850s when the Glücksburg branch was chosen to succeed. As she had no brothers, it was assumed that her uncle Prince Knud would one day assume the throne. The process of changing the constitution started in 1947, not long after her father ascended the throne and it became clear that Queen Ingrid would have no more children. The popularity of Frederik and his daughters and the more prominent role of women in Danish life started the complicated process of altering the constitution. That proposal had to be passed by two Parliaments in succession and then by a referendum, which was held on 27 March 1953. The new Act of Succession permitted female succession to the throne of Denmark , according to male-preference cognatic primogeniture, where a female can ascend to the throne only if she does not have a brother. Princess Margrethe therefore became heiress presumptive. On her eighteenth birthday, 16 April 1958, Margaret was given a seat in the Council of State. She subsequently chaired the meetings of the Council in the absence of the King. In mid-1960, together with the princesses of Sweden and Norway , she traveled to the United States , which

Generation Y - Part 4 | YouBioit.com Generation Y - Part 4 Enviado por dream en Noviembre 25, 2010 - 23:48. Detalles Breves: THE 90s WHEN EARLY MILLENNIALS WERE ADOLESCENTS WHILE LATE MILLENNIALS WERE CHILDREN OR IN THEIR EARLY PUBERTY  If you were a child of the 90s you must remember: TOYS: Millennials are the last one who played and enjoyed playing with most toys in their physical format without the need of converting them to a videogame or digital format. Nowadays Generation Z kids play with the same games and toys of the Generation Y children but in their virtual digital format, so today the basic idea is if no screen no deal. In the 90s it is notable the influence in the Western World of toys originated from Japan, many of which were based on Anime TV series. It is also the transition decade between the era of toys in the 80s and before, and the era of toys adapted to video games in the 2000s. Nowadays, most children of Generation Z spend more time with consoles, computers, handheld consoles or even cell phones than with toys as children of previous generations who had to base their entertainment activities more on imagination, something that nowadays is perfectly depicted in the virtual worlds provided in video games. BARBIE: Two particularly impressive consumer flurries that were to sweep through doll shops and toy stores came in 1988, with the unpredictably successful Happy Holiday series, and later in 1994, when the first vintage reproduction Barbie and accompanying gift set made its debut on Miss Thing’s 35th Anniversary. The Official Barbie Collector’s Club was founded in 1997. The early 80’s saw the first Barbie Convention; the brand new, boot-stomping Western Barbie and her high-steppin’ horse named Dallas; the Paint the Town Red Barbie, whose crimson gown was based on the one worn by the new First Lady, Nancy Reagan. In 1984, over a thousand revelers gathered for Barbie’s 25th Anniversary bash in New York. Andy Warhol was among the guests—his portrait of the doll icon, which would top the Barbie art exhibit that soon toured the nation, would be coming soon. In 1985 she even had her first computer game for Commodore 64. In 1990, perhaps eager to outfit a lady who never complained and never gained weight, Bob Mackie designed his first Barbie gown, paving the road for many more to follow: Yves Saint Laurent, Christian Dior, Valentino, Perry Ellis, Oscar de la Renta, Ralph Lauren, Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, Byron Lars, Vera Wang and Donna Karan among others. Since Barbie’s best-selling years will often see the introduction of more than a hundred new outfits, the amount of cloth that Mattel tears through is no small at all. As a matter of fact it has become one of the largest makers of women’s clothes in the United States. In July 1992 Mattel released Teen Talk Barbie, each doll was programmed to say 4 out of 270 possible phrases, so that no two dolls were likely to be the same. Gorgeous lines like the Hollywood Legends Collection and the Children’s Collector Series (Barbie as fairy tale damsels like Rapunzel) were introduced in the mid-90’s. In 1995, Mattel celebrated its 50th year in business, becoming one of the biggest toy companies wordwide and in big part thanks to Barbie. Today, she’s the most collected doll in the world. In 1997 Mattel joined forces with Nabisco to launch a cross-promotion of Barbie with Oreo cookies. The Oreo Fun Barbie was marketed as someone with whom little girls could play after class and share "America's favorite cookie." In May 1997 Share a Smile Becky was introduced, a doll in a pink wheelchair. However Kjersti Johnson, a 17-year-old high school student in Tacoma, Washington, pointed out that the doll would not fit into the elevator of Barbie's $100 Dream House. So the company announced that it would redesign the house in the future to accommodate the doll. There are Barbie magazines, books and newsletters. There are public museums and legendary private collections. There is unadulterated devotion, from all around the world. BEANIE BABIES: Introduced by Ty Warner Inc. in 1993, it

Kett's Rebellion of 1549 took place in which county?

1549: Kett’s Rebellion | FKN's Rebellion & Disorder FKN's Rebellion & Disorder Revision help for OCR A-level Menu June to November 1549 Leadership Commons rebellion led by Robert Kett, a Norfolk yeoman, but part of a much wider outbreak of disorder across much of England where the leadership was low level and low born Main causes Enclosure. Kett’s rebels were heartened by royal commission looking into the problem and thought they were supported by government in acting against enclosures Subsidiary causes The character and stubbornness of Somerset Poor quality of local government – failed to clamp down on enclosure Outcomes Disturbances throughout midlands and eastern England Kett raises a large force – 16,000 men. Norwich falls to rebels; rebellion eventually crushed by Warwick in battle outside Norwich at spot – Mousehold Heath – where 1381 rebels had camped Kett and up to 300 rebels executed – sign of how seriously government had been frightened Results in fall of Somerset Degree of threat High. Disorder was widespread – Amanda Jones book recovers contemporary label, “Commotion Time.” Trouble in 25 counties from Yorkshire to Cornwall (Kett was an example of a problem, rather than the leader of all these outbreaks of disorder). At least 20 rebel camps where disgruntled commons assembled. At least 16 rebel petitions. There is a sort of regime change – Protector Somerset falls. But this doesn’t happen as a direct consequence of the rebellions and there are no calls to overthrow the king Threat heightened in part because of the incompetence of the local authorities in putting Kett down – allowed rebels time to gather strength Narrative The disorders of 1549 were very widespread, and for this reason cannot be ascribed to a single cause. Rumours of disorder in other areas spread widely and must have encouraged disgruntled commons to consider acts of rebellion. One reason why the trouble did not have greater effect, however, was the fact that there was no communication or planning between different groups. The rebels had local grievances and the rebellions were put down one by one, often by local rather than central government forces. Kett’s rebellion in Norfolk is one of the best known of this serious of outbreaks of trouble because… It lasted a long time – June till November [5 months] It took place in summer, in weather suitable for camping outdoors (Anthony Fletcher: “a dangerously sunny June”) At the root of the trouble in Norfolk was the issue of enclosure. This had been a concern to the commons for a long time, and the issue had resurfaced the previous year, 1548, when there was a major riot in Hertfordshire over Sir William Cavendish’s success in obtaining a royal warrant allowing him to enclose a large area of common land where he planned to farm rabbits for fur. 2,000 of Cavendish’s rabbits were killed and their burrows blown up with gunpowder. The Hertfordshire riot caused Protector Somerset to create 3 royal commissions to travel through the midlands investigating cases of illegal enclosure. News of this travelled throughout England and encouraged the commons in many areas to begin tearing down hedges and removing enclosures, on the impression that they had state backing for this. In this sense, Kett’s rebellion can be clearly seen as a loyal rebellion not intended to bring about (as it did) the fall of Somerset himself. Word of the commissions reached Norfolk and let some commons there to take matters into their own hands. One of the properties attacked belonged to Robert Kett. Kett was not a member of the nobility and was only barely gentry – he worked as a tanner and his brother was a butcher, but they owned a lot of land and had enclosed some common land as well. When his hedges were thrown down, however, Kett transferred his loyalty to the rioters (it’s possible to speculate this was a matter of self-preservation) and agreed to lead them – there are parallels here with the way in which leaders emerged during the Pilgrimage of Grace. Kett proved a good leader. He decided to assemble as many commons as possible
