Which part of the body is on the Nokia logo?

Illuminati Sun Symbolism --World’s 100 Best Brand Logos - 12160 Illuminati Sun Symbolism --World’s 100 Best Brand Logos June 9, 2010 by, Spydaman13 It’s easy to see the sun in the BP logo above, but spotting the cross made with “bp” isn’t as obvious.  Like all the World’s 100 Best Brand Logos, the BP logo displays esoteric sun symbolism as directed by the Illuminati.  Ironically, BP uses lower case letters for it’s intials.  But, purposely it forms the cross next to the sun; all of which represents the sun/son that died on the cross. The illuminati are proud to be “Order of the Sun” and display it on virtually all product logos.  Most people see it unwittingly, but it severely impacts us through the subconscious.  The Illuminati love to rub our noses in it - esoterically, keeping us in servitude, slaves.  It’s no different now than in all of of known history. There’s three methods of sun symbolism used by the Illuminati in the World’s 100 Best Brand logos:  Sun-on-cross Triangle (capstone of pyramid) with all-seeing eye Direct That’s it, just three.  These are the 2009 World’s 100 Best Brand Logos as presented on: http://www.interbrand.com/best_global_brands.aspx .  It is based on brand value begginning with Coca-Cola at $68,734,000 down to Campbells at $3,081,000.  I’ve also interweaved (noted with **) the Word’s 20 most Famous Logo Designs as reported here:  http://www.toxel.com/design/2008/08/20/20-famous-logo-designs/ .  I’ve also interweaved a few other logos (noted with *).  1.0  Sun-on-cross The first method of sun symbolism used by the Illuminati in the World’s Top 100 Brand Logos is the sun-on-cross, or cross-in-circle; represented by the Celtic Cross shown below.  The quick explanation is that the circle represents the sun and the sun/son died on the cross.  For complete derivation, please see link:   http://12160.info/profiles/blogs/illuminati-sun-symbolism-auto-logo... I suggest just looking for the crosses as you scroll down.     Xerox – ‘x’ is a cross on the red sphere (sun). Windows – window squares form the borders for a cross in the middle and sits on white circle (sun). Wrigley –earth’s grid lines form crosses on the glowing sphere (sun). Citi –the lower case ‘t’ is the cross and sits below the red arch (top of sun).  What makes this so blatant is that the lower case ‘t’ is taller than the capital ‘C’ and capital ‘I’s. At&t –again the lower case ‘t’ makes the cross, twice; and sits next to the white sphere, sun.  And, the lower case ‘t’s are taller than the ampersand, which deliberately draws more attention to the crosses.  Here is how they would look from a typewriter: t&. Gillete –double ‘t’s provide for two crosses which sit on the nearly circular “G” (sun) with a spark on top.  The two ‘l’s make the number eleven, a common occult theme in these logos and I’ll point them out as we go. G E – three crosses are made on the circle, sun. Phillips –four crosses sit on the circle, sun. *LG –drop the dot a bit and it makes a cross with the “L” and line next to it.  Of course, our subconscious does this for us.  The cross sits on the red circle; i.e. sun.    Armani: Hermes –cross is made on the horse body with the straps.  The orange wagon wheels are suns.  During my research I discovered the only color this logo is ever shown in is orange. Louis Vitton –crosses all over the place. BMW –it doesn’t get more straight forward than this.  Other autmaker logos utilizing the same technique include: Lincoln, Olds, Saturn, Chevy, Geo, Pontiac, Cadillac, Dodge, Scion, Fiat, Alfa Romeo, Subaru, Mazerati, Lancia, Maybech, Rolls Royce, Nissan, Opel, and Vauxhall... Suck it! Ford –line through the “F” yields a cross, and so does the ‘r’.  They sit on either side of the ‘o’, sun; all of which sits on the glowing, oval background. Porche –the horse is Jesus and sits on the cross of the yellow and red shield –(Rothchild /sun).  I’m surprised Cadillac didn’t make the top 100, but if it did it would come next. Ferrari –the horse’s tail and right leg make the horizontal line, and the body and left leg make the vertical line of


How many toes does a cat normally have on each back paw?

Do Cats Have Toes or Paws? - Pets Pets Do Cats Have Toes or Paws? by Melodie Anne Lucy needs a manicure and a pedicure once in a while. Don't get your cuddly kitty's toes and paws mixed up -- they are in fact separate and distinct parts. Think of Lucy's front paws as her hands and her back paws as her feet. Her front paws have fingers and a thumb, while her back paws have toes. Not Just for Pouncing Feline paws and toes are an intricate system allowing them to perform all of the same activities as their larger wildcat cousins. Lucy's front paws, fingers and claws are just like your hands. She uses them to grab prey -- or furry mice toys -- shovel food into her mouth and groom her face. Her back paws and toes help her jump, pounce, play and run away from predators. Additionally, the pads of her feet sweat a small amount, helping her cool down when it gets steamy outside. Her paw pads also help her glide around quietly when she is getting ready to pounce on one of her siblings. Counting Fingers and Toes All cats have four paws, unless they suffer some kind of tragic accident. Each front paw has four fingers and one thumb, which is known as a dewclaw. Her back paws each have four toes. Every finger and toe also has a claw, similar to your fingernails. In all, Lucy has 18 fingers and toes spread out between her four paws, explains Dr. Arnold Plotnick, a New York City-based veterinarian. Extra Toes Once in a while felines grow extra toes. A condition known as polydactylism is a genetic mutation in which your lovable companion may wind up with one or two extra digits on each foot. Having an extra toe is simply a kitty quirk and is not dangerous or harmful to her health. The extra digit doesn't offer little Lucy any extra benefits, however if the toes don't form properly, she'll wind up having chronic problems with ingrown or overgrown claws. Special Care Inspect Lucy's paws and toes each day, especially if she goes outside. Thorns, chunks of cat litter, small rocks or other debris can be painful when they get stuck between her digits. She also needs her nails trimmed every few weeks or so. If you hear clicking on the linoleum when she walks, it's a sign her nails are too long. When trimming her nails, avoid getting close to the quick. This pink part inside the nail is the blood supply and causes severe pain when you get close to it. If you're unsure about how to give her a proper manicure, have your veterinarian show you how. Getting her used to extra handling ahead of time helps minimize any angry hissing episodes at the vet office.

Which country hosted the 1968 Summer Olympics?

Mexico 1968 Summer Olympics - results & video highlights Official Reports arrow High altitude The choice of Mexico City to host the 1968 Olympic Games proved to be a controversial one because of the city's high altitude, 2,300m. The altitude proved an advantage in explosive events such as short-distance running, jumping, throwing and weightlifting. But the rarefied air proved disastrous for those competing in endurance events. Records tumble The high altitude led to world records in all of the men’s races that were 400m or shorter, plus the long jump and triple jump. Probably the most memorable achievement was Bob Beamon’s spectacular long jump of 8.90m - a world record that would last for 22 years. Olympic firsts Mexican hurdler Enriqueta Basilio became the first woman to light the cauldron at the Opening Ceremony. Wyomia Tyus of the US became the first athlete to win the 100m twice. Dick Fosbury won the men’s high jump with a new jumping style now known as the “Fosbury Flop”, and for the first time winners had to undergo a doping test. Drama and beauty The Games were blessed with many outstanding heroines but none more so than Vera Caslavska. The attractive and vivacious Czech gymnast won four golds and two silver medals. Her victories were dramatic - defeating Soviet gymnasts two months after the Soviet invasion of her homeland. NOCs: 112 Media: n/a The effects of altitude It was the first times the Games had taken place in Latin America at such a high altitude above sea level (2 300m). The altitude was an advantage in the events which needed a brief but intense effort (running up to 800m, jumping, throwing, weightlifting, etc.) but a handicap for efforts lasting longer than two minutes (long-distance and middle-distance running, swimming, cycling, etc.) The German athletes The athletes from the German Democratic Republic competed in their own team under the name of “East Germany”. It was only in 1972 that they took part under the official name of their country, “German Democratic Republic”. In the footsteps of Columbus The itinerary of the Olympic torch relay followed in the footsteps of Christopher Columbus, tracing the route of his first journey from Spain to the New World. A special year The year 1968 was extremely important from a political point of view. The People’s Republic of China found itself in the midst of the Cultural Revolution, the attempt to liberalize Czechoslovakia was crushed by Soviet troops, the French government was caught up in student demonstrations and throughout the United States, peace and civil rights demonstrations were taking place. Mexico was not forgotten in this wave of revolution- students and teachers were on strike and held large protest rallies, bloodily repressed at the Square of Three Cultures. “Black Power”  Over and above winning medals, the black American athletes made names for themselves by an act of racial protest. During the medal presentation ceremony, Tommie Smith and John Carlos, gold and bronze medal winners in the 200m, raised a black-gloved fist and hung their heads when their country’s national anthem was played. In doing this, they were protesting against racial segregation in the United States and were subsequently expelled from the Olympic Village. Doping controls For the first time, the winners had to undergo a doping test (narcotics, stimulants). The appearance of tartan A synthetic material (tartan) was used for the first time on the athletics track. Official timing The athletics, cycling, rowing, canoe, swimming and equestrian competitions were timed manually and electronically- for the first time, the electronic time was the official one Ceremonies Mexico 12 October 1968.

Peter Parker is the alter-ego of which fictional superhero?

So, Spider-Man! Brilliant Disguise!; The Real Mild-Mannered Parkers Are in a Superhero's Fictional Lair - The New York Times The New York Times N.Y. / Region |So, Spider-Man! Brilliant Disguise!; The Real Mild-Mannered Parkers Are in a Superhero's Fictional Lair Search Continue reading the main story Much of ''Spider-Man,'' the blockbuster action movie, was filmed on location in Queens, the comic book domain of the web-slinging superhero. As it happens, the realism of the Spider-Man comic transcends the mere film. In the comics, Peter Parker, the mild-mannered photojournalist who is Spider-Man's alter ego, grew up at 20 Ingram Street, a modest, two-story boarding house run by his Aunt May in the heart of Forest Hills Gardens. The address actually exists and is home to a family named Parker: Andrew and Suzanne Parker, who moved there in 1974, and their two daughters. In 1989, the family began receiving junk mail addressed to Peter Parker. ''We got tons of it,'' Mrs. Parker said yesterday. ''Star Trek magazines, a Discover Card in his name, and notices from them over the years calling him a good customer.'' There were also prank phone calls, all of which she attributed to a ''teenager who found it funny that we had the same last name as Spider-Man.'' The Parkers had no idea they were living in a comic book landmark, she said. Then, last summer, a reporter from The Queens Tribune, a weekly newspaper, called Mrs. Parker and told her that the family's life was imitating Pop Art. He also told her that Spider-Man's greatest enemy, the Green Goblin, goes by the alias Norman Osborn, which is almost the same surname as Mrs. Parker's neighbor, Terri Osborne. Mrs. Osborne has lived across the street, at 19 Ingram, since 1979. The address of the borough's most famous arachnid, 20 Ingram Street, was listed in the June 1989 and July 1989, issues of ''The Amazing Spider-Man,'' published by Marvel Enterprises. A supervillain named Venom finds a change-of-address form left in Peter Parker's jacket, which lists the address and even its real-life ZIP and area codes. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Time Out New York published an article about the address. Then yesterday, Mrs. Parker and Mrs. Osborne (they are longtime friends, not archenemies) were whisked by limousine into Manhattan to appear on CBS's Early Show. Mrs. Parker has not been bitten by a radioactive spider -- the event that transformed Peter Parker into a superhero -- but she does seem to have been transformed by her connection to the film, which set a record with its $115 million opening last weekend on 7,500 screens, which is a lot of screens for an opening. Mrs. Parker has seen the movie and recently bought the ''address'' issues of the comic book from a collector. Please verify you're not a robot by clicking the box. Invalid email address.

Reached by phone at his Los Angeles office yesterday, Mr. Lee, 79, said that when Spider-Man was created in 1962, he made Peter Parker a Forest Hills resident, but, ''I never pinpointed his address.'' Mr. Lee was no longer writing the comic book in 1989, ''So someone else must have created that address,'' he said, adding, ''Spidey would have gotten a kick out of the coincidence, but Peter Parker, he would have loathed all this publicity revealing where he lives.'' The issues of June and July 1989 list David Michelinie as the books' writer. Mrs. Parker is an artist, and Mr. Parker is a professor of public affairs at Baruch College in Manhattan. Their home is hardly as plain as Aunt May's in the comic book, nor as modest as the two-story home shown in the film. It is a stone Edwardian-style house built in 1916 in the English garden style. Ivy is the only thing climbing these walls. The quiet, leafy block is lined with fine Tudor houses that have slate roofs steep enough to challenge even Spider-Man.

What are the native people of Australia called?

Our people | australia.gov.au Australia.gov.au Helping you find government information and services Search form Australian people Australia is one of the most ethnically diverse societies in the world today. Almost one in four Australian residents were born outside of Australia and many more are first or second generation Australians, the children and grandchildren of recently arrived migrants and refugees. This wide variety of backgrounds, together with the culture of Indigenous Australians who have lived on the Australian continent for more than 50,000 years, have helped create a uniquely Australian identity and spirit. Indigenous peoples and cultures Before the arrival of British colonisers in 1788, Australia was inhabited by the Indigenous peoples - Aborigines and Torres Strait Islanders, sometimes referred to as the First Australians. Aboriginal people inhabited the whole of Australia and Torres Strait Islanders lived on the islands between Australia and Papua New Guinea, in what is now called the Torres Strait. There were over 500 different clan groups or 'nations' around the continent, many with distinctive cultures, beliefs and languages. Today, Indigenous people make up 2.4 per cent of the total Australian population (about 460,000 out of 22 million people). The first colony New South Wales was settled as a penal colony – a place where Britain could send convicted criminals because her prisons were overcrowded. Many convicts had grown up in poverty and committed only minor offences, such as the theft of a loaf of bread. Conditions in the new colony were little better than at home – it took many years for British settlers to understand the different environment of the new colony, and disease and malnutrition were widespread during the first decades of settlement. Convicts formed the majority of the colony's population for the first few decades of settlement. Convicts continued being sent to New South Wales until 1823, although as time went by, convicts were increasingly seen as a source of labour to build the colony, rather than just being sent away from Britain as punishment for their crimes. Free settlers The first wave of migrants to Australia included men of capital who were attracted by the colony's agricultural prospects and the availability of convict labour. Their enthusiasm, together with the Gold Rushes era of the mid-nineteenth century, pushed out the boundaries of the new settlement and by the end of the 1850s there were six separate Australian colonies: New South Wales

Television presenter Kirsty, singer Will and former cricketer Bradley all share which surname?

Learn and talk about Collins (surname), English-language surnames, Surnames, Surnames of Anglo-Saxon origin, Surnames of Irish origin Twitter The surname Collins has a variety of likely origins in Britain and Ireland: Anglo-Saxon : A patronymic surname based on the name Colin, an English diminutive form of Nicholas. In England, Collins usually signified "son of Colin." Irish : "cuilein" = darling, a term of endearment applied to a whelp or young animal. The medieval surname was Ua Cuiléin, which has usually become Ó Coileáin today. Welsh : Collen = hazel, hazel grove. Alternative spellings or related surnames include Collin, Colling, Coling, Collings, Colings, Collis, Coliss, Collen, and Collens. [1] A great number of Welsh origin surnames share a similar etymology to English ones - Where in English names the forename of the patriarch is suffixed with 'SON' (as in Peterson, Richardson, Johnson) in Welsh names the 'SON' is simply the letter "S" (Phillips, Davies, Davis, Williams) and Collins may have been one of the surnames to have originated in this way. The Domesday Book (compiled in 1086) was the first to document names in England and Wales and at this time only the upper classes were literate. During the time between this and the first census of 1801 names continually changed due to the illiterate nature of the British population. Indeed, the need to be able to complete such documents may be a key factor in the change to fixed spellings. The earliest documented evidence of the name in England dates back as far as the twelfth and thirteenth centuries where several instances have been recorded. One Colinus de Andresia appears in the pipe rolls of Berkshire in 1191, while a Colinus is mentioned in Hartopp's Register of the Freeman of Leicester recorded in 1196. The name Colinc is also mentioned several times in the Domesday Book . The personal name Colin from which the surname derives has an even older history; Ceawlin , the king of the West Saxons, Caelin , a brother of St Chad , and the early Welsh saint, Kollen, all have names related to Colin. In Ireland, Collins is a genuinely indigenous Irish name; in fact, it is one of the most numerous surnames, ranked number 30. [2] Contents :


Which domestic animal was worshipped by the ancient Egyptians?

Avatars of the Gods: The Animals of Ancient Egypt Avatars of the Gods: The Animals of Ancient Egypt Updated: November 26, 2012   Animals have always been around in Egypt, however whilst some will be familiar to modern Egyptian people, other species have become extinct or moved further south, deeper into Africa. Both domesticated, such as cattle, cats and dogs, and wild animals, such as lions and hyenas, abounded in ancient Egyptian times. Animals were worshipped, feared and loved. This relationship even carried on in the underworld after death, as certain animals were mummified, including family pets as well as certain species sacred to the gods . Mummified remains, animal-related hieroglyphs, and detailed paintings, reliefs and sculptures of the animals of ancient Egypt clearly show the animals that were not only well known, but also very important, to the peoples of Egypt ever since predynastic times. Since the domestication of animals in the Neolithic Period, the ancient Egyptians' relationship to animals has taken several forms. The most significant domesticates were cattle. Their energy was harnessed, they were used to work the land, as food, and a source of raw materials. Some animals, such as gazelles and birds were less useful, but had a more intimate relationship with their owners and were kept as pets. Animals also had a cultic function: they were worshipped as manifestations of gods. -- Salima Ikram & Mamdouh Eldamaty (2006), Bloved Beasts: Animal Mummies from Ancient Egypt, p. 5 Birds Along the Nile, some of the multitude of bird-life included the falcon, kite, goose, crane, heron, plover, pigeon, ibis, vulture and owl. It is possible that chickens were introduced during the New Kingdom from Africa. Sacred to Horus, the falcon (or hawk) was thought to be the guardian of the ruler, and is frequently found as spreading its wings protectively behind the head of the pharaoh. At Saqqara during the Late Period, there was a catacomb build for mummified falcons. These birds, though, were shown to be of different types of birds of prey, not just the falcon. To the Egyptians, the Horus-falcon may have been regarded as interchangeable with a whole range of different birds of prey. The ibis, sacred birth of Thoth , was relatively common throughout Egypt until the 19th Century, but now has almost disappeared. Sacred ibises were mummified during the Late Period and Ptolemaic times, and buried in large numbers in different catacombs through Egypt. There were three types of ibis in Egypt - the sacred ibis, the hermit ibis and the glossy ibis. The hermit ibis is not a waterside bird, so it is depicted less frequently than the other two birds that were common along the banks of the Nile. The vulture was the manifestation of Nekhbet and Mut , who were depicted as the bird with their wings outstretched on the ceilings of temples as protection, or sitting on the ground in a symbol associated with kingship. The two main types of vulture depicted were the griffon vulture and the so-called Egyptian vulture. It was the griffon vulture that was usually related to the goddesses and to royalty. Fish In Ancient Egypt, the fish had both sacred and scorned species. Some were sacred in some places and not allowed to be eaten, whereas in other places, anyone could eat the fish. Some of the fish in Egypt included the carp, perch and catfish. The goddess Hatmehit from the Delta city of Per-banebdjedet (Mendes), was known as the 'Chief of Fish', and was worshipped in the form of a fish, or as a woman with a fish emblem on her head. Both the Rilapia or Chromis and the Abdju fish were thought to act as pilots for Ra on his solar barque as it travelled, warning of the approach of the enemy of Ra, the water snake Apep , as they travelled through the underworld. The poor ate fish more often than meat, because of the availability of the fish. Richer people kept fish in ornamental ponds or as a source of food. The pharaoh, priests and the Akhu could not eat fish, because of the association with Set : Supposedly, it was the Nile carp, the Oxyrynchus or

The red ball is worth one point, yellow is worth two points, green is worth three points, brown is worth four points, blue is worth five points and pink is worth six points. Full Answer In the game of snooker the red balls must be hit into a pocket first. Once a red ball has been potted, the player has the opportunity to try and pot a colored ball of their choice. If they are successful, they can then pot another red ball followed by another color. Once all the red balls are potted in the pockets, the players must then try and pot the colored balls in order of their value, from lowest to highest.


Which battle is known as ‘Custer’s Last Stand’?

Custer's Last Stand Custer's Last Stand June 25, 1876 What do you know about the Battle of Little Big Horn? You might know the story better as Custer's Last Stand. On the morning of June 25, 1876, Lieutenant Colonel George A. Custer and the 7th Cavalry charged into battle against Lakota Sioux and Northern Cheyenne Indians. Custer's orders were to wait for reinforcements at the mouth of the Little Big Horn River before attacking the Indians, but Chief Sitting Bull had been spotted nearby, and Custer was impatient to attack. A treaty had given the Sioux exclusive rights to the Black Hills, but when gold was later discovered in the area, white miners flocked to the territory. Despite the treaty, the U.S. government ordered the Indians away from the invading settlers and back to their reservations. page 1 of 3

Finland’s wonderful wildlife — VisitFinland.com Finland’s wonderful wildlife Finland’s wonderful wildlife Finland is a country of vast green forests, beautiful Baltic islands, windswept arctic fells and countless blue lakes (though someone claims to have counted 187,888!) These pristine and picturesque landscapes provide habitat for many wild animals and birds including magnificent bears, wolves, lynx, eagles, cranes and swans, as well as the world’s rarest seal. Birdwatchers flock to Finland to find species that are hard to spot anywhere else in Europe. Keen wildlife photographers also come here to enjoy excursions and facilities that enable them to get spectacular shots of our amazing animals in their natural wild settings. Great places to watch out for these creatures include Finland’s 37 national parks, which are freely open to everyone all year round. Our wildlife gallery spotlights some of Finland’s most iconic animals and birds. About Finland Full of interesting contrasts, such as the four seasons, the Midnight Sun and winter darkness, urban and rural, East and West. About Finland Lynx These beautiful big cats have become more common in Finland’s forests in recent years, though they are hard to spot, as their excellent senses of sight, smell and hearing enable them to keep well away from humans. Whooper swan (Laulujoutsen) The graceful white whooper swan is Finland’s national bird. Flocks of swans and cranes returning from their southerly wintering areas are welcomed by Finnish nature-lovers as heralding the long-awaited arrival of the spring. Saimaa ringed seal These rare inland seals have adapted to their freshwater home since they were cut off from the sea in Lake Saimaa – Finland’s largest lake – after the Ice Age. They are found only in Lake Saimaa. Thanks to conservation measures their numbers have recently risen to over 300, but they are still seriously endangered. Great grey owl (Lapin pöllö) The concentric rings around the eyes of these huge northern owls make them look perpetually surprised. Great grey owls can get quite aggressive if anyone approaches their nest or their young owlets. Wolf Who’s afraid of the big bad wolf? There’s no need to fear an unexpected encounter with a wolf when walking in a Finnish forest, as wolves are scarce and do their best to avoid people. The best way to see a wild wolf is to take one of the specially organised overnight wildlife-watching excursions in Finland’s eastern borderlands where wolves are most numerous. Bear Finland is home to more than 1,500 bears, though they are only seldom seen, since they are shy of people. Several wildlife tour operators run excursions out into the forests of Eastern Finland where you can stay overnight in a hide and watch and photograph wild bears who come to feed on fishy or meaty scraps put out to attract them. Wolverine Also known as gluttons, wolverines are hardy arctic animals that look like small elongated bears, though in fact they are more closely related to Finland’s pine martens, otters and badgers. Wolverine-watching trips are organised in Eastern Finland. Siberian jay (Kuukkeli) Siberian jays are sociable birds found in Lapland and other northerly regions. They often appear to scrounge tasty tidbits when they notice that hikers or skiers have stopped for a picnic. Ermine This ermine is well camouflaged in the snow in its white winter coat. Several Finnish forest animals shed their summer coats in the autumn and turn white for the winter. Snow-covered forests may look lifeless at first, until you notice the many tracks left by their animals and birds. White-tailed eagle (Merikotka) Thanks to the efforts of Finnish nature conservationists, majestic white-tailed eagles have returned from the brink of extinction, and today they are a common sight soaring over the waters and islands of Finland’s beautiful Baltic archipelagoes.

Answer to Puzzle #27: Number of Squares on a Chessboard total 204 In total there are 204 squares on a chessboard. This is the sum of the number of possible positions for all the squares of size 1x1 to 8x8. Formula For n x n Chessboard? It's clear from the analysis above that the solution in the case of n x n is the sum of the squares from n2 to 12 that is to say n2 + (n-1)2 + (n-2)2 ... ... 22 + 12 Mathematically that is written as follows: The proof of the explicit solution is beyond the scope of this site, but if you want to look it up a mathematician would refer to it as 'the sum of the squares of the first n natural numbers.' The final answer is given by n3/3 + n2/2 + n/6 Can you extend your technique to calculate the number of rectangles on a chessboard? Below are some examples of possible rectangles... All of the above examples would be vailid rectanges... There is more than one way of solving this. But it makes sense to extend our technique from the squares problem first. The key to this is to think of each rectangle individually and consider the number of positions it can be located. For example a 3x7 rectangle can be located in 6 positions horizontally and 2 vertically. From this we can build a matrix of all the possible rectangles and sum. Dimensions In total then there are 1296 possible rectangles. Elegant approach to rectangles, consider the vertices and diagonals. I've been sent an innovative solution to the problem of the number of rectangles on a chessboard by Kalpit Dixit. This solution tackles the issue from a different approach. Rather than looking at specific sizes of rectangles and working out where they can be located we start at the other end and look at locations first. The vertices are the intersections. For our chessboard there are 81 (9 x 9). A diagonal starting at one vertex and ending at another will uniquely describe a rectangle. In order to be a diagonal and not a vertical or horizontal line we may start anywhere but the end point must not have the same vertical or horizontal coordinate. As such there are 64 (8 x 8) possible end points. There are therefore 81 x 64 = 5184 acceptable diagonals. However, whilst each diagonal describes a unique rectangle, each rectangle does not describe a unique diagonal. We see trivially that each rectangle can be represented by 4 diagonals. So our number of rectangles is given by 81 x 64 /4 = 1296 n x n or n x m? The n x n (eg. 9x9,) or n x m (eg 10x15,) problems can now be calculated. The number of vertices being given by (n + 1)2 and (n + 1).(m + 1) respectively. Hence the final solutions are as follows. n x n: (n + 1)2 x n2 / 4 n x m: (n + 1) x (m + 1) x (n x m) / 4 Which can obviously be arranged into something more complicated. Rectangles in Maths Nomenclature It's always my intention to explain the problems without formal maths nomenclature, with reasoning and common sense. But there is quite a neat solution here if you do know about combinations, as in permutations and combinations. Horizontally we are selecting 2 vertices from the 9 available. The order does not matter so it's combinations rather than permutations. And the same vertically. So the answer to the rectangle problem can be answered by: 9C2•9C2 = 362 = 1296


In the human body, molars, canines and incisors are all what?

Types of Teeth - Human Teeth Types of Teeth - Human Teeth The 4 Types of Human Teeth Humans, same as the rest of the mammals, are heterodont animals, meaning that they have several different forms of teeth. Human teeth differentiate in shape, while more primitive animals are homodont and all their teeth have the same shape possibly differing only on size. Permanent human teeth come in four different types: incisors , canines , premolars , and molars . Types of teeth Human teeth belong to four distinct types each having a typical appearance and performing a certain function. The shape and morphology of each human tooth type depends on the function that it is assigned to perform. As a species, humans are omnivorous eating both meats and plants, so they need different types of teeth to handle both types of food.  Generally, carnivorous animals need sharp teeth to pierce and tear meat, while herbivorous animals need flat teeth to crush and grind plants. Humans, as omnivorous, must have at least these 2 types of teeth. Through evolution humans have developed 4 different main teeth types: 1. Incisors Incisors (Cutting teeth) are the teeth at the center of the dental arch. There are eight incisors in total in the permanent (and primary) dentition, two on either side (left and right) in the upper and lower jaw. The middle four of them (one at each quadrant) are called central incisors, while the other four next to them are named lateral incisors. Incisors are flat and board, shaped like a shovel with a narrow straight cutting edge that enables them to cut food. The main functions of an incisor in the mastication process are biting, cutting of food into chewable pieces and moving it inwards the mouth. All eight incisors have a single root and almost the same shape, but their size may differ slightly with the upper incisors usually larger, and especially the central ones. 2. Canines (cuspids) Canines (also called eye teeth or cuspids) are the teeth located next to the incisors towards the edge of the mouth. There are 4 canines in both primary and permanent human dentitions, one at each quadrant of the mouth. They are the third teeth from the center. They have a sharp pointed edge that is used to rip and tear tough foods such as meat. In humans canine teeth have the same height as the rest of the teeth but in other animals they are longer and used to bite and kill prey. Canines have a single but long root that can reach up to 3 cm providing the stability required for their function. They are the longest and most stable human teeth. 3. Premolars (bicuspids) Premolars (also called bicuspids) are the teeth located after the canines towards the back of the mouth. There are eight premolars in the permanent dentition, two on either side (left and right) in the upper and lower jaw. The front four of them (one at each quadrant) are called first premolars, while the other four on the back are called second premolars. The premolars are the fourth and fifth teeth from the midline. Premolars are only present in the permanent dentition; there are no premolars in the primary human dentition. When they erupt, they replace the primary molars. The morphology of premolars is a combination between canines and molars. They are also known as bicuspids, because usually they have at least two cusps on their upper side. Premolars have a broader surface for chewing and grinding, but they also have some sharp points for piercing and ripping at the edge of the cusps. Their major role is to begin the crushing of foods before they are transferred to the molars for the final grinding. The upper jaw first premolars have two roots, while the upper second ones and all the lower jaw premolars have only one root. 4. Molars Molars are the teeth located at the back of the dental arch. Adult humans have twelve molars, three on either side (left and right) in the upper and lower jaw. There are only 8 molars in the primary dentition which are replaced by the permanent premolars. Permanent molars are named as first, second, and third starting from the front to the


Biathlon History and Description Description and history of Biathlon - how the sport evolved... This page was last updated23 July 2003 - Under construction What is Biathlon: Biathlon is a Winter Olympic Sport which combines cross country skiing with precision target shooting. There is also a warm weather variant called Summer Biathlon which replaces skiing with running. In a typical Winter race, a Biathlete is required to ski with his or her rifle over a set distance to a shooting range, where five shots at five knockdown targets 50 m down range are taken from prone position. Depending on the format, either a time penalty or penalty laps are assessed for missed shots. The racer then skiis another loop, and comes back to the shooting range for another set of shots - this time from a standing stance. Again penalties are assessed for missed shots. The biathlete then skiis a final loop to complete the race. A more complete description of the various race formats may be found here . Though a seemingly unlikely combination of events - one is an aerobic activity which requires strength, speed, and endurance; the other is a passive activity which requires concentration and a steady hand (difficult after you've been skiing all out!), the biathlon concept evolved from two activities which have a long history - hunting and winter warfare. 1994 Olympic Postcard Hunting Origins Rock paintings depicting hunters with bow and arrow moving on sliding timber have been found near Roedoey, Norway which date back to the Neolithic age (about 3000 BC). However, the first written descriptions of hunting on skiis come from Roman, Greek, and Chinese historical writings. These include such well known authors as the Roman poet Virgil, who described hunting on skiis in 400 BC. Russo-Finnish War Winter Warfare Historical descriptions of warriors on skiis also date back to before Christ, and include writings from Xenophon, Strabol, Arrian, Teophanes, Prokopius, and Acruni. Traditional military patrol races came into being in the Middle Ages. Skiing regiments were active in Scandinavia and Russia in the 1500's, and by the end of the 19th century, Germany, Austria and Switzerland also had soldiers on skiis. European Competition Evolution of Modern Competition The first organized competitions that would be recognizable as Biathlon took place in Norway in 1776. These were team events that combined shooting skill with skiing. Competitions were held at regular intervals betwen 1792 and 1818. Around 1912, again in Norway, the team competition was joined by an individual format race during which ten rounds were fired in two shooting bouts. In the rest of Europe, Germany's first military patrol races were held in 1902. The first Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix, France included a military ski patrol race as a demonstration sport, and it was included as a demonstration sport again in 1928, 1936 and 1948. It was not until the 44th session of the International Olympic Committee in Rome in 1949 however that a proposal by Sweden to include a combination of cross-country skiing and shooting as an individual competition open to civilian competitors was accepted . The first time the word Biathlon shows up is in the rules of 1955. Before that the event was called a "Patrol Race". The Union International de Pentathlon Moderne (UIPM) integrated Biathlon as another sport in 1957. The first Biathlon World Championships were held in Saalfelden, Austria in 1958. Only 25 athletes from seven countries started in that first 20 km race. But the sport grew quickly. The first Olympic Biathlon competitions were held in 1960 in Squaw Valley, California (USA). These were 20km races with four shooting stations with targets set at 250m, 200m, 150m, and 100m. The first three stations were done in prone position - the last in standing. Big bore rifles were used - Winchester Model 70s in 30.06, .308, and .243 being popular among US competitors.  Cardboard targets were used, and two minute penalties were assessed for misses. In the 60's, cardboard targets were re

Former British Prime minister Margaret Thatcher has what middle name?

Margaret Thatcher Dead: Former UK Prime Minister Dies Of Stroke | The Huffington Post Margaret Thatcher Dead: Former UK Prime Minister Dies Of Stroke 04/08/2013 07:54 am ET | Updated Jun 08, 2013 12k AP/The Huffington Post The Associated Press reports that former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher has died of a stroke. The news was confirmed by her spokesman Lord Bell. "It is with great sadness that Mark and Carol Thatcher announced that their mother Baroness Thatcher died peacefully following a stroke this morning," Lord Tim Bell said , according to Reuters. More from the Associated Press: LONDON _ Love her or loathe her, one thing's beyond dispute: Margaret Thatcher transformed Britain. The Iron Lady who ruled for 11 remarkable years imposed her will on a fractious, rundown nation _ breaking the unions, triumphing in a far-off war, and selling off state industries at a record pace. She left behind a leaner government and more prosperous nation by the time a mutiny ousted her from No. 10 Downing Street. Thatcher’s former spokesman, Tim Bell, said that the former prime minister had died Monday morning of a stroke. She was 87. For admirers, Thatcher was a savior who rescued Britain from ruin and laid the groundwork for an extraordinary economic renaissance. For critics, she was a heartless tyrant who ushered in an era of greed that kicked the weak out onto the streets and let the rich become filthy rich. "Let us not kid ourselves, she was a very divisive figure," said Bernard Ingham, Thatcher's press secretary for her entire term. "She was a real toughie. She was a patriot with a great love for this country, and she raised the standing of Britain abroad." Thatcher was the first _ and still only _ female prime minister in Britain's history. But she often found feminists tiresome and was not above using her handbag as a prop to underline her swagger and power. A grocer's daughter, she rose to the top of Britain's snobbish hierarchy the hard way, and envisioned a classless society that rewarded hard work and determination. She was a trailblazer who at first believed trailblazing impossible: Thatcher told the Liverpool Daily Post in 1974 that she did not think a woman would serve as party leader or prime minister during her lifetime. But once in power, she never showed an ounce of doubt. Thatcher could be intimidating to those working for her: British diplomats sighed with relief on her first official visit to Washington D.C. as prime minister to find that she was relaxed enough to enjoy a glass of whiskey and a half-glass of wine during an embassy lunch, according to official documents. Like her close friend and political ally Ronald Reagan, Thatcher seemed motivated by an unshakable belief that free markets would build a better country than reliance on a strong, central government. Another thing she shared with the American president: a tendency to reduce problems to their basics, choose a path, and follow it to the end, no matter what the opposition. She formed a deep attachment to the man she called "Ronnie" _ some spoke of it as a schoolgirl crush. Still, she would not back down when she disagreed with him on important matters, even though the United States was the richer and vastly stronger partner in the so-called "special relationship." Thatcher was at her brashest when Britain was challenged. When Argentina's military junta seized the remote Falklands Islands from Britain in 1982, she did not hesitate even though her senior military advisers said it might not be feasible to reclaim the islands. She simply would not allow Britain to be pushed around, particularly by military dictators, said Ingham, who recalls the Falklands War as the tensest period of Thatcher's three terms in power. When diplomacy failed, she dispatched a military task force that accomplished her goal, despite the naysayers. "That required enormous leadership," Ingham said. "This was a formidable undertaking, this was a risk with a capital R-I-S-K, and she demonstrated her leadership by saying she would give the military their marching order

AutoAnything has plenty of auxiliary lights, such as fog lights and driving lights , to add safety and style to your vehicle. An Introduction to Off-Road Lights When you're slogging across rocky badlands, shredding down the face of sand dunes or heading out on a wild camping expedition, you need all the light you can get. Not enough lighting could mean the difference between getting home safely or being stuck in a ditch with a snapped axle and dwindling food rations. Before you hit the dusty trails, equip your rig with a powerful set of off-road lights. They're specially designed to withstand harsh environments. Take a look at our Guide to Off-Road Lights for more details. A Quick Word on the History of Automotive Illumination In 1886 the world's first gasoline-powered automobiles rolled out of the European workshops of Carl Benz, Gottlieb Daimler, Wilhelm Maybach and Siegfried Marcus. Besides lacking such modern amenities as air conditioning and in-dash DVD players, these early automobiles also lacked electrical lighting. Instead, their lamps were fueled by oil or acetylene , both of which could be quickly snubbed out by a strong gust of wind or rain storm. Needless to say, navigating across winding mountain roads at night could be quite precarious. Fun Factoid: Getting the most from your lighting

The English resort of Clacton-on-Sea lies on which body of water?

English Channel Map, English Channel Location Facts, Major Bodies of Water, England - World Atlas other bodies of water Some 10,000 years ago as the last Ice Age melted away, new bodies of water formed including the English Channel and Irish Sea , Great Britain and Ireland were now islands and both would eventually benefit from that process. The Roman Legions (40,000 strong) crossed the dangerous English Channel in 43 AD. Literally undefended, the Romans named this wild new province, Britannia, and for some 350 years they controlled and influenced it, until their own Empire collapsed upon itself in 410 AD. Though many invasion attempts occurred via the channel over the centuries (some successful, some not) in modern times the English Channel has helped Britain and Ireland defend themselves from outside invaders, namely the German Army during World War II. The English Channel is a part of the Atlantic Ocean , and it separates the island of Britain (part of the UK ) from northern France and joins the North Sea to the Atlantic Ocean . It is today one of the busiest shipping lanes on the planet. It's approximately 350 miles long, and at its narrowest in the Strait of Dover. It's somewhat shallow, with an average depth of less than 50 meters between Dover and Calais. Completed in 1994, the Channel Tunnel, a 31-mile long rail tunnel beneath the English Channel at the Straits of Dover, connects France and England


The winner of the UK television series ‘The Apprentice’ gets the chance to work for which British businessman?

The Apprentice (UK series one) : Wikis (The Full Wiki) Fired Resigned Series One of The Apprentice television programme was broadcast in the UK from 16 February to 11 May in 2005. The format of the UK version was very similar to that of the US original . The format was licensed by RTL Group and the programme produced for the BBC by RTL's Talkback Thames division. It was shown on BBC Two on Wednesday evenings over twelve weekly episodes. The winner was to become an apprentice to Sir Alan Sugar . The winner was Timothy Campbell , previously a transport manager at London Underground , who beat Saira Khan in the final. Sir Alan said that he chose Tim as the winner because of his likeness to his East End self. Contents Reward: A trip to the London Eye . Brought into the boardroom: Saira, Adenike and Miranda. Who gets fired: Adenike, for undermining the project manager and her strategy. Week 2 Project managers: Lindsay (First Forte) and Raj (Impact). Task: Create and design a new toy for a toy company; the team deemed to have created the best concept wins. Result: Impact came up with an idea for an electronic trading card game named "Switchbase", while First Forte could not decide between a card semaphore system called "Secret Signals" and a robot (a third idea, a set of electrical plugs that would produce different sounds depending on which order they were plugged into a mains socket, was vetoed early on by the toy company since it would not have met safety regulations). A focus group of Brownies and Cub Scouts came out in favour of the latter, as well as the majority of team members, however project manager Lindsay opted to take a risk with "Secret Signals". Winner: Impact. Reward: Clay pigeon shooting at a country club. Brought into the boardroom: Lindsay, Adele and Miriam. Who gets fired: Lindsay, for not listening to her team-mates. Notes: While Impact may have won, Sir Alan confronted them with similar products from other toy companies in an effort to find out if they had copied the idea of the electronic card game or were simply unaware. It subsequently emerged that Adele had told Lindsay that she could take her into the boardroom, as she didn't care if she was fired since it meant she'd be able to see her family again. In the final boardroom however it became apparent that Sir Alan actually favoured firing Miriam rather than Adele, until Miriam put in a strong defence of herself. Impressed by her defence, and wanting to see how Adele would cope as a project manager, Sir Alan therefore fired Lindsay. Week 3 Team re-shuffle: Ben, Sebastian and Tim moved to First Forte, whilst Rachel and Saira moved to Impact. Project managers: Adele (First Forte) and Matthew (Impact). Task: Purchase a set list of ten items for prices lower than those asked by the retailers. The team which spends the least wins. Result: Impact failed to find a new bowler hat, for which they were fined £80. However, an electronics store's shopkeeper decided to give them a Freeview box for nothing, offsetting the fine. First Forte managed to acquire all of the items. Impact Spent £447.38p And First Forte Spent £506.94p Winner: Impact. Reward: Dinner with Sir Alan Sugar at an Italian restaurant. Brought into the boardroom: Adele, Ben and Miranda. Who gets fired: Miranda, for not showing respect to the project manager. Week 4 Project managers: Tim (First Forte) and James (Impact). Task: Select items from the Harrods catalogue and sell them from concession stands within the store. The team that makes the most money wins. Result: Impact was able to sell a bag just before closing time that gave them almost £100 lead over First Forte. Impact brought in £3295.38p And First Forte brought in £3108.50p Winner: Impact. Reward: A helicopter trip around English stately homes. Quit: Adele, for personal reasons and for not being able to get along with the other candidates. Notes: Adele quit before Sir Alan had the chance to ask Tim who he wanted to bring back. After her resignation, Sir Alan Sugar informed Adele that she would have been the one who was fired due to her co

New 5 euro banknote in circulation | Euronews New 5 euro banknote in circulation Now Reading: New 5 euro banknote in circulation Today's Top Stories last updated: 30/04/2013 Euronews Ιn the first of a series of updates to the euro currency notes, a new five euro banknote, has gone into circulation in the eurozone. Part of the reason for the new note is to introduce stronger security measures against counterfeiting as well as to update the designs. A similar thing is being done in the UK, with a new five pound note which is to be issued featuring an image of World War II leader Winston Churchill. Counterfeiting has always been a problem, but with much greater security, it is hoped the level of fake notes can be reduced. The features include: - A watermark with a portrait of Europa -A hologram with a portrait of Europa - Raised lines on both left and right edges of the note - The number 5, which changes colour from emerald to deep blue when the note is tilted Old five euro notes will remain legal tender for some time to come and the two notes will be in circulation together. Although the old banknotes will be gradually withdrawn they will retain their monetary value indefinitely and once out of circulation anyone holding the notes will be able to exchange them at national central banks. Other denomination banknotes will be introduced gradually over a number of years, replacing the older notes and incorporating the new security features. Share this article:

The International Inferno Race is a four-day amateur event in which sport?

73rd International Inferno Races – Events – Mürren Jungfrau Region Bernese Oberland Bern Switzerland - Made in Bern 74t International Inferno Races Jungfrau Region, 13.01.2016 On January 18th – 21st all ski fanatics will meet in Mürren for the 74th International Inferno Races. The Inferno Race was organised for the first time in 1928 by a group of ski-crazy Englishmen. Today it is regarded as the largest amateur skiing race in the world. The number of participants is limited to 1,800, and every year just as many other hopefuls have to be turned away. The appeal of the 14.9 km course is down to its contrasting terrain, which is also open to the skiing public at other times of the year. The Inferno Race is particularly well suited to the good allround ski, as the following excerpt from the competition documenation explains: “The upper part of the course demands downhill turning technique and an optimal line. The middle section calls for an ideal downhill position and fast gliding. The section from the “Kanonenrohr” to the “Höhenlücke” is where technically accomplished skiers come into their own. Over the section from Maulerhubel to Winteregg, skating steps and arm power can make all the difference between victory or defeat. And from Winteregg-Spriessenkehr to Lauterbrunnen optimal equipment, a clean downhill position and – not least – mental stamina can be the key to a fast final time.” For all those who want to complete the downhill run at a leisurely and enjoyable pace rather than in racing mode, here is a brief description of the course: The start is located just below the Kleines Schilthorn. From here the course continues through the Engetal to the Schilthorn Hut. There follows a long drawn-out S to just below the Muttlerenhoren, followed by the challenge of the “Kanonenrohr” (or gun barrel). Next up is another Double S and a sharp right-hand curve, after which the course climbs into woodland, crossing the path of the Maulerhubel ski lift. A slight ascent then takes us to Winteregg over the Winteregg Bridge to rejoin the forest trail in the direction of Lauterbrunnen. Proficient skiers will take approx. 45 minutes to complete this wonderful downhill run. The winners of the Inferno race usually cover in less than 15 minutes.

Who did Richard Nixon defeat in 1968 to become US President?

Richard Nixon elected president - Nov 05, 1968 - HISTORY.com Richard Nixon elected president Publisher A+E Networks Winning one of the closest elections in U.S. history, Republican challenger Richard Nixon defeats Vice President Hubert Humphrey. Because of the strong showing of third-party candidate George Wallace, neither Nixon nor Humphrey received more than 50 percent of the popular vote; Nixon beat Humphrey by less than 500,000 votes. Nixon campaigned on a platform designed to reach the “silent majority” of middle class and working class Americans. He promised to “bring us together again,” and many Americans, weary after years of antiwar and civil rights protests, were happy to hear of peace returning to their streets. Foreign policy was also a major factor in the election. Humphrey was saddled with a Democratic foreign policy that led to what appeared to be absolute futility and agony in Vietnam. Nixon promised to find a way to “peace with honor” in Vietnam, though he was never entirely clear about how this was to be accomplished. The American people, desperate to find a way out of the Vietnam quagmire, were apparently ready to give the Republican an opportunity to make good on his claim.During his presidency, Nixon oversaw some dramatic changes in U.S. Cold War foreign policy, most notably his policy of detente with the Soviet Union and his 1972 visit to communist China. His promise to bring peace with honor in Vietnam, however, was more difficult to accomplish. American troops were not withdrawn until 1973, and South Vietnam fell to communist forces in 1975.

The famous ‘Man in the Iron Mask’ died in which prison in 1703?

the man in the iron mask | French convict | Britannica.com The man in the iron mask French convict Alternative Title: l’homme au masque de fer the man in the iron mask French convict l’homme au masque de fer born Paris , France The man in the iron mask, French l’homme au masque de fer (born c. 1658?—died November 19, 1703, Paris , France ), political prisoner, famous in French history and legend , who died in the Bastille in 1703, during the reign of Louis XIV . There is no historical evidence that the mask was made of anything but black velvet (velours), and only afterward did legend convert its material into iron. The Man in the Iron Mask, etching and mezzotint, 1789. Library of Congress, Washington, D.C. (Digital File Number: LC-DIG-ppmsca-07185) He was first imprisoned at Pignerol (Pinerolo, in Piedmont) sometime before 1681, then at other prisons before finally being transferred to the Bastille in Paris on September 18, 1698. He died there on November 19, 1703. Buried the next day in the parish cemetery of Saint-Paul, he was registered there under the name of “Marchioly,” and his age was given as “about 45.” His several moves during his lifetime corresponded with the successive postings of the prison governor Bénigne d’Auvergne de Saint-Mars, in whose charge he was evidently especially committed. The identity of the man in the mask was already a mystery before his death, and, from the 18th century on, various suggestions as to his identity were made: in 1711, an English nobleman; in 1745, Louis de Bourbon, comte de Vermandois, a son of Louis XIV and Louise de La Vallière; between 1738 and 1771, an elder brother of Louis XIV (Voltaire popularized this unlikely solution, which was later taken up by Alexandre Dumas in Dix Ans plus tard ou le Vicomte de Bragelonne [1848–50], translated into English as The Man in the Iron Mask); in 1883 Molière, imprisoned by the Jesuits in revenge for Tartuffe. Of the dozen or more hypotheses , only two have proven tenable: those for Ercole Matthioli and for Eustache Dauger. Matthioli, a minister of Ferdinand Charles, duke of Mantua, had been entrusted with the secret negotiation of the treaty of 1678 whereby the impoverished duke was to deliver the stronghold of Casale over to France in return for 100,000 écus, but, as soon as the agreement was signed, Matthioli nullified its effect by betraying the secret to several foreign courts. Furious at having been tricked, Louis XIV had him quietly abducted and imprisoned at Pinerolo (1679). It is generally agreed, however, that Matthioli died in the Îles Sainte-Marguerite in April 1694 and that the prisoner in the mask was Eustache Dauger. Britannica Stories Man in the Iron Mask - Student Encyclopedia (Ages 11 and up) The political prisoner of Louis XIV of France known as the Man in the Iron Mask was brought to the Bastille on Sept. 18, 1698. He died there on Nov. 19, 1703. He was named for the mask he was made to wear to keep his identity a secret. The mask was actually made of black velvet but was later mistakenly recorded in legend as consisting of iron. The identity of the prisoner was much speculated on. One popular theory was that he was Count Matthioli, who had double-crossed Louis XIV by refusing to betray a fortress. It is generally agreed, however, that Matthioli died in the Iles Sainte-Marguerite in April 1694 and that the prisoner in the mask was the valet Eustache Dauger. A favorite subject of literature, the Man in the Iron Mask was featured in Alexandre Dumas’s Dix Ans plus tard ou le Vicomte de Bragelonne (1848-50; Ten Years Later; or, The Vicomte de Bragelonne, translated into English as The Man in the Iron Mask).

What was the name of the motel in Tennessee in which Martin Luther King Jr was shot dead in 1968?

Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. (4 April 1968) Assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. (4 April 1968) At 6:05 P.M. on Thursday, 4 April 1968, Martin Luther King was shot dead while standing on a balcony outside his second-ﬂoor room at the Lorraine Motel in Memphis, Tennessee. News of King’s assassination prompted major outbreaks of racial violence, resulting in more than 40 deaths nationwide and extensive property damage in over 100 American cities. James Earl Ray, a 40-year-old escaped fugitive, later confessed to the crime and was sentenced to a 99-year prison term. During King’s funeral a tape recording was played in which King spoke of how he wanted to be remembered after his death: ‘‘I’d like somebody to mention that day that Martin Luther King Jr. tried to give his life serving others’’(King, ‘‘Drum Major Instinct,’’ 85). King had arrived in Tennessee on Wednesday, 3 April to prepare for a march the following Monday on behalf of striking Memphis sanitation workers . As he prepared to leave the Lorraine Motel for a dinner at the home of Memphis minister Samuel ‘‘Billy’’ Kyles, King stepped out onto the balcony of room 306 to speak with Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) colleagues standing in the parking area below. An assassin ﬁred a single shot that caused severe wounds to the lower right side of his face. SCLC aides rushed to him, and Ralph Abernathy cradled King’s head. Others on the balcony pointed across the street toward the rear of a boarding house on South Main Street where the shot seemed to have originated. An ambulance rushed King to St. Joseph’s Hospital, where doctors pronounced him dead at 7:05 P.M. President Lyndon B. Johnson called for a national day of mourning to be observed on 7 April. In the following days, public libraries, museums, schools, and businesses were closed, and the Academy Awards ceremony and numerous sporting events were postponed. On 8 April King’s widow, Coretta Scott King , and other family members joined thousands of participants in a march in Memphis honoring King and supporting the sanitation workers. King’s funeral service was held the following day in Atlanta at Ebenezer Baptist Church . It was attended by many of the nation’s political and civil rights leaders, including Jacqueline Kennedy, Vice President Hubert Humphrey, and Ralph Bunche . Morehouse College President Benjamin Mays delivered the eulogy, predicting that King ‘‘would probably say that, if death had to come, I am sure there was no greater cause to die for than ﬁghting to get a just wage for garbage collectors’’ (Mays, 9 April 1968). Over 100,000 mourners followed two mules pulling King’s cofﬁn through the streets of Atlanta. After another ceremony on the Morehouse campus, King’s body was initially interred at South-View Cemetery. Eventually, it was moved to a crypt next to the Ebenezer Church at the King Center , an institution founded by King’s widow. Shortly after the assassination, a policeman discovered a bundle containing a 30.06 Remington riﬂe next door to the boarding house. The largest investigation in Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) history led its agents to an apartment in Atlanta. Fingerprints uncovered in the apartment matched those of James Earl Ray, a fugitive who had escaped from a Missouri prison in April 1967. FBI agents and police in Memphis produced further evidence that Ray had registered on 4 April at the South Main Street roominghouse and that he had taken a second-ﬂoor room near a common bathroom with a view of the Lorraine Motel. The identiﬁcation of Ray as a suspect led to an international manhunt. On 19 July 1968, Ray was extradited to the United States from Britain to stand trial. In a plea bargain, Tennessee prosecutors agreed in March 1969 to forgo seeking the death penalty when Ray pled guilty to murder charges. The circumstances leading to the plea later became a source of controversy, when Ray recanted his confession soon after being sentenced to a 99-year term in prison. During the years following King’s assassination, doubts about the adequacy of

The first Cormoran Strike novel, The Cuckoo’s Calling, was published in 2013 to critical acclaim by both reviewers and fellow crime writers. It wasn’t long, however, before her cover was blown and Robert Galbraith’s true identity was unexpectedly revealed. Two more books have since followed: The Silkworm (2014) and Career of Evil (2015). J.K.

During which month of 1971 did Britain change its currency to decimal?

BBC ON THIS DAY | 1 | 1966: Britain to go decimal in 1971 About This Site | Text Only 1966: Britain to go decimal in 1971 The Chancellor of the Exchequer, James Callaghan, has confirmed the "historic and momentous" decision to change over to decimal coinage. It was just one of a number of proposals announced in his "little Budget" statement in the Commons. Other proposals included a new gambling tax - the proceeds from which will be used to fund cheaper mortgages for the less well off. Loud cheers greeted Mr Callaghan's announcement of the switch to decimal currency. 'Considerable benefit' He said: "It is the government's conclusion, shared I know by large sections of industry, commerce, science and banking, that the change to a decimal coinage will bring considerable benefit to the economy at large." Preparations for the change-over will begin at once, with the introduction of a Decimal Currency Bill. One of its functions will be to establish a new Decimal Currency Board to oversee the switch which will take place in February 1971. There were more cheers as Mr Callaghan confirmed the pound would remain the major unit of currency. It will be divided into 100 units, to be called either cents or new pennies. Preliminary estimates suggest the cost of switching to decimal coinage may be as much as �120m. However, Mr Callaghan said he hoped the long change-over period may mean the total cost was lower than this. Companies obliged to invest in new equipment will not be compensated, but they will be entitled to tax relief.
