Who was behind the 1923 Beer Hall Putsch, a failed attempt to overthrow the government?

The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 - History Learning Site Home   »   Modern World History   »   Weimar Germany   »  The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 Citation: C N Trueman "The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923" historylearningsite.co.uk. The History Learning Site, 22 May 2015. 16 Aug 2016. The Beer Hall Putsch of 1923 The Beer Hall Putsch of November 1923, or the Munich Putsch, was Hitler’s attempt to overthrow the Weimar government of Ebert and establish a right wing nationalistic one in its place. In September 1923, the Chancellor Gustav Stresemann and President Ebert had decided that the only way Germany could proceed after hyperinflation was to agree to work with the French as opposed to against them. Both called for passive resistance to be called off in the Ruhr Valley. In this sense, Stresemann agreed that the only way forward was for Germany to pay reparations as demanded by the Treaty of Versailles . To the nationalists in Germany, this was an admittance of guilt for starting the First World War. This admittance of guilt brought with it the punishment of reparations. Therefore, the logic of the nationalists was that Ebert and Stresemann were agreeing that Germany was guilty of starting the war – something they could not tolerate. By 1923, many right wing parties had gravitated to southern Germany and primarily Bavaria. Here there were geographically as far away from Berlin without totally isolating themselves from the German people. Their headquarters was essentially Munich. One such group was the fledgling Nazi Party. Lead by Adolf Hitler it had about 35,000 members by 1923. Though this figure appears low in the whole scheme of German politics (in the 1920 election the Nazis had not got one seat in the Reichstag), there were only about 40 members of the Nazi Party in 1920, so its growth rate was relatively quick. However, nationally, the Nazis Party was just one of a number of loud right-wing parties. On November 8th and 9th1923, Hitler used the anger felt against the Berlin government in Bavaria to attempt an overthrow of the regional government in Munich in prelude to the take-over of the national government. This incident is generally known as the Beer Hall Putsch. The fact that Hitler had only an estimated 35,000 followers to take over Germany’s second city showed his political naivety in 1923. Hitler placed all his hopes on people in Munich following his lead having been angered by the central government’s response to the Ruhr crisis. Such support never materialised. On November 8th 1923, the Bavarian Prime Minister, Gustav Kahr, was addressing a meeting of around 3000 businessmen at a beer hall in Munich. Kahr was joined by some of the most senior men in Bavarian politics including Seisser, Bavaria’s police chief, and Lossow, the local army commander. Gustav Kahr Hitler and 600 of his Stormtroopers (the SA) went into the meeting from the back of the hall. These SA men, lead by Ernst Rohm, lined the sides of the hall in an attempt to intimidate those in the beer hall. It is said that Hitler, once on the speaker’s platform, shouted out the following: “The national revolution has broken out. The hall is surrounded.” SA men outside of the Beer Hall Kahr, Lossow and Seisser were taken into a side room. Here, threatened by guns, Kahr is said to have agreed to support Hitler in his attempt to take-over the government in Berlin. Hitler promised Kahr that he would get a key position in the new national government and Lossow was promised a senior post in the German Army. However, the historian William Shirer claims that Kahr refused to listen to Hitler and refused to be intimidated. Hitler was so unnerved by his silence that, according to Shirer, he rushed back to the stage about ten minutes later. Karl von Muller, who was at the meeting and was a witness at Hitler’s trial, also states that the group was absent from the stage for about ten minutes. Hitler declared to the waiting audience that Kahr had agreed to support him even though he had not. When Hitler did return to the main hall, it was in such di

The longest winning streak by any nation at an event in the Olympic Games was set by the USA, between 1896 and 1968. What was the event?

On the Trail of Pheidippides: Olympic Track and Field at Athens, 1896 and 2004 Tweet On the Trail of Pheidippides: Olympic Track and Field at Athens, 1896 and 2004 Citius, Altius, Fortius. Faster, Higher, Stronger--this is the motto of the modern Olympics. The true meaning of this simple phrase is dramatically illustrated by comparing track and field events of the first modern Olympic Games of Athens, 1896, with the same events in progress now at Games of the XXVII Olympiad in Athens, 108 years and 5 months after it all began.   By Skip Cleaver Posted Thursday, 26 August, 2004 Track and field competitions have been at the core of the Olympic movement from the earliest beginnings, ancient and modern. There are just 15 events that have been included in every modern Olympics. And 12 of those are in track and field. Competitions of speed, strength, endurance, and athletic skill were always at the heart of the Games. Track and field events, and especially the Marathon, are for many the essential core of the Olympic Games. Legend of the Marathon The Marathon was invented in Greece for those games of 1896, tracking the path of the legendary Pheidippides from the Plains of Marathon to the center of Athens to announce the Athenian victory over the Persians in 490 B.C. Spiridon Louis, a 24-year-old from the Greek village of Amarousion, won the very first Marathon in 1896, running in the footsteps of Pheidippides and other ancient couriers from Marathon to Athens. Spiridon Louis was victorious in 2:58:50 (24.7 miles), leading an overwhelmingly dominant Greek team to seven of the top eight positions as they finished in Panatheniac (Panathinaiko) Stadium in front of 100,000 wildly celebrating countrymen. Louis built some new legends in the process. Countryman Charilaos Vasilakos was second (3:06:03). Their historic run along the hilly route across Attica was completed in the same stadium that serves as the finish for the women and men’s Marathons of the Games of 2004. There is no firm evidence that Pheidippides actually was the runner that ran from Marathon to Athens, but there likely was a courier who did. The Greek and French organizers wanted to commemorate that legendary run, made to announce the Athenean victory over the Persians. The Marathon race was born. The Greeks actually held two Marathon trial races along the same course, and they were well prepared for the big day. The only other country that held such a trial was Hungary, and their man, Gyula Kellner, finished third (3:06:35). Following Kellner it was a Greek sweep. Pheidippides was a running courier and certainly did run from Athens to Sparta on the Peloponnesian Peninsula, a 150-mile, two day run. His quest--to get the Spartan army come to the aid of the Athenians as the Persians began their invasion of Attica. The Spartans promised help, but did not get to Marathon in time to assist in defeating the Persians. It is better that Pheidippides be regarded as the messenger from Marathon, otherwise the Marathon race might instead be called the Spartan, a race of 150 miles. A Century of Growth and Change Changes have been dramatic since Athens of 1896. There are now 24 track and field contests for men. Women, not participants at the first modern Games, now compete in 22 track and field events. Thirty-four events were introduced and then dropped in years between the first and 28th Athens Games. Today thousands participate in extravagantly prepared venues with millions watching on television. Of the 10,864 athletes from 202 nations this year, 4,412 (40.6%) are women. This percentage has tripled since 1964. More participants from more countries take part in track and field than any other Olympic sports. The growth of the Games has been phenomenal. In 1896 there were just over 300 athletes participating from only 13 countries, including Greece. That total is far less than the size of the present American contingent alone. Greece, by the way, is one of only three countries—Great Britain and Australia (a one-man team in 1896) are the other two—to send representatives to every si


"Salvador Allende, General Augusto Pinochet and the ""Caravan of Death"" are all connected with the history of which country in the 1970s and 1980s?"

Augusto Pinochet | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte, more commonly known as Augusto Pinochet ( Spanish pronunciation:  [auˈɣusto pinoˈtʃet] ), [note 1] (1915 – 2006) was an army general and dictator of Chile from 1973, until transferring power to a democratically elected president in 1990. He was the commander-in-chief of the Chilean army from 1973 to 1998 and president of the Government Junta of Chile from 1973 to 1981. [2] He assumed power in a coup d'état on 11 September 1973 , supported by the US Central Intelligence Agency , [3] that overthrew the Unidad Popular government of Salvador Allende and ended civilian rule a week before its 48th anniversary. By early 1972 Pinochet was General Chief of Staff of the Army. On 23 August 1973 he was promoted to Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army by President Allende. [4] On 11 September 1973 Pinochet joined a coup d'état, which overthrew Allende's elected socialist government. In December 1974 the military junta appointed Pinochet as President by a joint decree , with which Air Force General Gustavo Leigh disagreed. [5] From the beginning the government implemented harsh measures against its political opponents. [6] According to various reports and investigations 1,200–3,200 people were killed, up to 80,000 were interned , and up to 30,000, including women and children, were tortured during his time in government. [7] [8] [9] Under the influence of the free market -oriented neoliberal Chicago Boys , the new government also implemented economic reforms, including currency stabilization, tariff cutting, opening Chile's markets to global trade, restricting labor unions, privatizing social security, and the privatization of hundreds of state-controlled industries. These policies produced what has been referred to as the " Miracle of Chile ," but critics claim the government policies dramatically increased economic inequality . [10] But the devastating effect of the 1982 monetary crisis in the Chilean economy can be attributed to the Finance Minister Sergio de Castro 's decision to peg Chile's currency to the U.S. dollar - to align Chile's high inflation rate with the U.S. inflation rate, but triggered a tremendous devaluation when the U.S. dollar fell, and set off a bank crisis. Economist Milton Friedman , whose ideas influenced the Chicago Boys, criticized de Castro for his decision as it distorted markets. [11] Chile was, for most of the 1990s, the best-performing economy in Latin America, though academics continue to dispute the legacy of Pinochet's reforms. [12] Pinochet's 17-year rule was given a legal framework through a controversial 1980 plebiscite , which approved a new Constitution drafted by a government-appointed commission. In a 1988 plebiscite 56% voted against Pinochet's continuing as president, which led to democratic elections for the Presidency and Congress. After stepping down in 1990, Pinochet continued to serve as Commander-in-Chief of the Chilean Army until 10 March 1998, when he retired and became a senator-for-life in accordance with his 1980 Constitution . However, Pinochet was arrested under an international arrest warrant on a visit to London on 10 October 1998 in connection with numerous human rights allegations. Following a legal battle he was released on grounds of ill-health, and returned to Chile in March 2000. In 2004, Chilean Judge Juan Guzmán Tapia ruled that Pinochet was medically fit to stand trial and placed him under house arrest. [4] By the time of his death on 10 December 2006, about 300 criminal charges were still pending against him in Chile for numerous human rights violations during his 17-year rule, and tax evasion and embezzlement during and after his rule; [13] he was accused of having corruptly amassed at least US$28 million. [14] Contents Edit Pinochet was born in Valparaíso, the son of Augusto Pinochet Vera, descendant of a French Breton immigrant from Lamballe , and Avelina Ugarte Martínez, a woman of Basque descent. [15] Pinochet went to primary and secondary school at the San Rafael


Where did United Airlines flight 93, hijacked by terrorists on 11 September 2001, crash?

Flight 93 - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com Google 9/11 Attacks on New York and Washington, D.C. At 8:46 a.m. on September 11, 2001, an American Airlines Boeing 767 loaded with 20,000 gallons of jet fuel crashed into the north tower of the World Trade Center in New York City, instantly killing hundreds of people and trapping many more on the building’s higher floors. Eighteen minutes later, a second Boeing 767 appeared out of the sky, turned sharply toward the World Trade Center and sliced into the south tower. As millions watched the events unfolding in New York in horror, American Airlines Flight 77 circled over downtown Washington and slammed into the west side of the Pentagon military headquarters at 9:45 a.m. Less than 15 minutes after the terrorists struck the nerve center of the U.S. military, the situation in New York took a catastrophic turn for the worse when the south tower of the World Trade Center collapsed in a massive cloud of dust and smoke. At 10:30 a.m. the north tower also gave way. Faced with the knowledge that the United States was under attack, the nation’s air traffic controllers began a frantic attempt to wrest back control of America’s skies. Flight 93 Comes Under Attack United Airlines Flight 93, a regularly scheduled early-morning nonstop flight from Newark, New Jersey , to San Francisco , California , departed at 8:42 a.m., just minutes before the first hijacked plane struck the World Trade Center. The flight’s takeoff had been delayed for nearly 45 minutes due to air traffic at Newark International Airport. The plane carried seven crewmembers and 33 passengers, less than half its maximum capacity. Also on the flight were four hijackers who had successfully boarded the plane with knives and box cutters. The plane’s late departure had disrupted the terrorists’ timeline for launching their attack; unlike the hijackers on the other three planes, they did not attempt to gain control of the aircraft until nearly 40 minutes into the flight. Meanwhile, Ed Ballinger, a flight dispatcher for United Airlines, was taking steps to warn flights of possible cockpit intrusions. At 9:19 Ballinger informed pilots of the attacks on the World Trade Center; Flight 93 received his transmission at 9:23. Captain Jason Dahl responded at 9:26 to request clarification. At roughly 9:28 the terrorists successfully infiltrated the plane’s cockpit, and air traffic controllers heard what they believed to be two mayday calls amid sounds of a struggle. At 9:32 a hijacker, later identified as Ziad Jarrah, was heard over the flight data recorder, directing the passengers to sit down and stating that there was a bomb aboard the plane. The flight data recorder also shows that Jarrah reset the autopilot, turning the plane around to head back east. Flight 93’s Passengers Fight Back Huddled in the back of the plane, the passengers and crew of Flight 93 made a series of calls on their cell phones and the in-flight Airfones, informing family members and officials on the ground of the plane’s hijacking. When they learned the fate of the three other hijacked flights in New York City and Washington, D.C. , the passengers realized that their plane was involved in a larger terrorist plot and would likely be used to carry out further attacks on U.S. soil. After a brief discussion, a vote was taken and the passengers decided to fight back against their hijackers, informing several people on the ground of their plans. One of the passengers, Thomas Burnett Jr., told his wife over the phone, “I know we’re all going to die. There’s three of us who are going to do something about it. I love you, honey.” Another passenger, Todd Beamer, was heard over an open line saying, “Are you guys ready? Let’s roll.” Sandy Bradshaw, a flight attendant, called her husband and explained that she had slipped into a galley and was filling pitchers with boiling water. Her last words to him were: “Everyone’s running to first class. I’ve got to go. Bye.” At 9:57 the passengers and crew aboard Flight 93 began their counterattack, as recorded by the cockpit voice recorde

Different Types of Suedes & Leathers - Kleerwite® Chemical - Home of TANaway™, Clean Coat™, SMARTCare™, Nature-L™, N-Ta Germ®, and Rust Buster™. Different Types of Suedes & Leathers Company Menu Join        the Kleerwite Chemical Newsletter Email: Know the Different Suedes and Leathers Cleaning leather and suede today is much easier than ever before because     of the SuedeSmart System. However, because leather and suede comes from     the skin of an animal, every garment is somewhat unique. They are completely     different from cloth garments in many ways, so it helps to know the facts     about suede and leather in order to successfully accept them for cleaning     and refinishing. When the customer brings a suede or leather garment for cleaning, if     they are shown and educated with a copy of our Acceptance Form, they can     prepared for possible problems before processing, and many lengthy discussions can be avoided after cleaning if they know what to expect. This Acceptance     form is not a release. It is merely a tool to use that will help you educate     your customer about situations that could occur in cleaning. While a high     majority of leathers and suedes clean and dry beautifully in the SuedeSmart     System, being educated and educating your customer will lead to a successful     leather and suede business for years to come. Suede All suedes and leathers are made from animal skins. They are recognized     in two major categories: Sueded leather Smooth leather Sueded leathers Sueded leathers are animal skins with the hair removed and the flesh     side of the skin rubbed by an abrasive wheel to raise a velvet-like nap     on its surface. This is the outside surface of the sueded garment. Suedes     are identified by the name of animal the skin comes from. There are several     types of sueded leather. The three most common types of sueded leather     are: Sheepskin suede Cowhide suede Pigskin suede Sheepskin suede is made by dyeing and sueding the skins of sheep and     lambs. It is light in weight, soft in texture with a velvet-like suede     nap. Sheepskin is the softest, most delicate skin of the three types. Cowhide suede is made by dyeing and sueding the skins of cows and calves.     It is called by many names including bush coat, rough out, rawhide, split     cowhide and calfskin. It is typically a stiff, heavy, thick skin with     a coarse nap. It is a tough, hard wearing and durable skin. Pigskin suede is made by dyeing and sueding the skins of pigs. It is     typically a stiff and heavy skin with a very short nap with pores like     human skin. It is a very durable, tough and hard wearing skin. All three of these types of suedes can be easily cleaned using the SuedeSmart     System relatively easy. Leather Smooth leathers Smooth leathers are made from the skins of animals that have had the     hair removed and have been dyed or painted on the hair side of the skin,     which then becomes the outside surface of the leather item. Leathers are named for the type of surface finish they have on them rather     than the name of the animal they came from. There are three major types     of leathers: Painted leather Cuir savage leather (or analine leather) Naked leather Painted leather is just that. It is made by applying a special pigmented     leather finish (a leather lacquer paint that stretches with the skin)     to the surface of the skin. The result is a surface coating which is smooth,     slick and shiny. You will not be able to see the grain of a painted leather. Cuir savage leather (or analine leather) is made by dyeing color into     the skin and then either buffing or applying a light coating of a special     clear leather finish to the surface of the skin. This gives the effect     of seeing the color down in the skin through a transparent surface sheen     finish. Cuir savage leather is attracti


In a film script, what do the letters MCU mean?

film terminology Film Terminology and Other Resources "The cinema? Three cheers for darkened rooms!" -Andre Breton Entertainment Weekly   Animation - The process of photographing drawings or objects a frame at a time; by changing a drawing or moving an object slightly before each frame is taken, the illusion of motion is realized. Auteur (French for "author") - literally the director, who is regarded as the "author" of a film because he/she has primary control and responsibility for the final product. The Auteur theory insists that a film be considered in terms of the entire canon of a director and that each Auteur earns that title by displaying a unique cinematic style. Background Music- Music accompanying action on the screen, but coming from no discernible source within the film. Blocking - The arrangements made for the composition of a scene, especially the placement and movements of actors. Boom - A long mobile beam or pole used to hold a microphone or camera. Cinema Verite - A candid-camera style of filmmaking using hand-held cameras, natural sound, grainy high-contrast black-and-white film, and the appearance of no rehearsal and only basic editing. Cinematographer (camera man or director of photography) - The person who supervises all aspects of photography from the operation of cameras to lighting. Clip - A brief segment excerpted from a film. Commentator - A voice (the person speaking may be either seen or unseen) commenting on the action of a film. A commentator, unlike a narrator, provides supposedly unbiased information, maintaining apparent perspective and distance from what occurs on the screen. Composition - The placement of people or objects within the frame and the arrangements for actual movements within the frame or by the camera. Continuity - The narrative growth of a film created through a combination of visuals and sound (resembling the "story" in print literature). Continuity Sketches (See Storyboard.) Crane Shot - A shot taken from a boom that can move both horizontally and vertically. Cross-Cutting (parallel editing) - A method of editing in which the point of view (p.o.v.) switches alternately from events at one location to those of another related action. The action is ususlly simultaneous and used to create a dynamic tension as in the chase scene in D.W. Griffith's A Girl and Her Trust. (See Intercutting for the distinction between cuts.) Cut - An individual strip of film consisting of a single shot; the separation of two pieces of action as a "transition" (used when one says "cut from the shot of the boy to the shot of the girl"); a verb meaning to join shots together in the editing process; or an order to end a take ("cut!"). Cutter (See Editor.) Dailies (See Rushes.) Deep Focus (depth photography) - Keeping images close by and far away in sharp focus simultaneously. Depth of Field - The area within which objects are in focus; a large depth of field allows a great range of objects to be in focus simultaneously, while a shallow depth of field offers a very limited area in focus. Depth of field normally depends on how far "open" a lens is (a lens works much like an eye, with the pupil opening or contracting to control light). An "open" lens (for example, f 1.4) creates a shallow depth of field while a "stopped down" (contracted) lens (for example f 16) creates a large depth of field. Director - The person responsible for overseeing all aspects of the making of a film. Dissolve (lap dissolve) - A method of making a transition from one shot to another by briefly superimposing one image upon another and then allowing the first image to disappear. A dissolve is a stronger form of transition than a cut and indicates a distinct separation in action. Dolly A platform on wheels serving as a camera mount capable-of movement in any direction. Dolly Shot - A moving shot taken from a dolly. A Dolly-In moves the camera toward the subject, while a Dolly-Out moves the camera away from the subject. A dolly shot creates a sense of movement through space by capturing changes in perspective. Double Exposure (sup


What book published in 1864 by William Wallace Mitchell, a Glasgow Cotton Merchant, became the basis of the rules of a modern game?

Bowls | G.P.C.A. SUNDAY History It has been traced certainly to the 13th century, and conjecturally to the 12th. William Fitzstephen (d. about 1190), in his biography of Thomas Becket, gives a graphic sketch of the London of his day and, writing of the summer amusements of the young men, says that on holidays they were “exercised in Leaping, Shooting, Wrestling, Casting of Stones [in jactu lapidum], and Throwing of Javelins fitted with Loops for the Purpose, which they strive to fling before the Mark; they also use Bucklers, like fighting Men.” It is commonly supposed that by jactus lapidum, Fitzstephen meant the game of bowls, but though it is possible that round stones may sometimes have been employed in an early variety of the game – and there is a record of iron bowls being used, though at a much later date, on festive occasions at Nairn, – nevertheless the inference seems unwarranted. The jactus lapidum of which he speaks may have been more akin to shotput. It is beyond dispute, however, that the game, at any rate in a rudimentary form, was played in the 13th century. A manuscript of that period in the royal library, Windsor (No. 20, E iv.), contains a drawing representing two players aiming at a small cone instead of an earthenware ball or jack. The world’s oldest surviving bowling green is the Southampton Old Bowling Green, which was first used in 1299. Another manuscript of the same century has a crude but spirited picture which brings us into close touch with the existing game.[citation needed] Three figures are introduced and a jack. The first player’s bowl has come to rest just in front of the jack; the second has delivered his bowl and is following after it with one of those eccentric contortions still not unusual on modern greens, the first player meanwhile making a repressive gesture with his hand, as if to urge the bowl to stop short of his own; the third player is depicted as in the act of delivering his bowl. A 14th-century manuscript, Book of Prayers, in the Francis Douce collection in the Bodleian Library at Oxford contains a drawing in which two persons are shown, but they bowl to no mark. Strutt (Sports and Pastimes) suggests that the first player’s bowl may have been regarded by the second player as a species of jack; but in that case it is not clear what was the first player’s target. In these three earliest illustrations of the pastime it is worth noting that each player has one bowl only, and that the attitude in delivering it was as various five or six hundred years ago as it is to-day. In the third he stands almost upright; in the first he kneels; in the second he stoops, halfway between the upright and the kneeling position. The game eventually came under the ban of king and parliament, both fearing it might jeopardise the practice of archery, then so important in battle. Statutes forbidding it and other sports were enacted in the reigns of Edward III, Richard II and other monarchs. Even when, on the invention of gunpowder and firearms, the bow had fallen into disuse as a weapon of war, the prohibition was continued. The discredit attaching to bowling alleys, first established in London in 1455, probably encouraged subsequent repressive legislation, for many of the alleys were connected with taverns frequented by the dissolute and gamesters. The word “bowls” occurs for the first time in the statute of 1511 in which Henry VIII confirmed previous enactments against unlawful games. By a further act of 1541—which was not repealed until 1845—artificers, labourers, apprentices, servants and the like were forbidden to play bowls at any time except Christmas, and then only in their master’s house and presence. It was further enjoined that any one playing bowls outside his own garden or orchard was liable to a penalty of 6s. 8d.(6 shillings and 8 pence), while those possessed of lands of the yearly value of £100 might obtain licences to play on their own private greens. In 1864 William Wallace Mitchell (1803–1884), a Glasgow Cotton Merchant, published his “Manual of Bowls Playing” following his work as


What is Merino Wool? | Coes Blog By Robert Moulding Advice , Mens November 26, 2013 What is Merino Wool?   Merino Wool is a type of material that comes from the Merino Sheep and is renowned for its exceptional properties. Among these properties are its fantastic softness, shine and breathability. The fibres of Merino wool are softer, finer and more sensitive than many other fabrics. Common wool types are warm, durable, water repellent and naturally insulating, when adding the additional exceptional qualities of the Merino sheep you have the recipe for a world leading wool. This high quality has made it not only made Merino wool highly praised but also highly sought after. Despite a variation in grades among Merino Wool, the diameter of the wool is consistently microscopic, ranging from 11.5 microns to roughly 24 microns.  Thanks to selective breeding, the Merino Sheep is capable of producing this ultrafine wool, which is finer and of a higher quality than other types of wool. Thanks to this, Merino Wool is used to make some of the highest quality knits and is a sought after material in high end clothing. The different types of fineness found among Merino Wool are labelled: Label Fine Wool (Also known as Extra Fine Wool) 18.6-19.5 22.6-<24 The Merino Sheep The Merino Sheep originates from Spain and its earliest flocks go back as far as the 12th century. Today however, Australia produces 80% of the world’s Merino wool whilst New Zealand is also known for their quality production of the material. Note: The Merino Sheep has been closely guarded for its superior quality. Before the 18th century the export of Merino Sheep from Spain was punishable by death. Up until 1986, Australians banned the export of all Merino Sheep. There are four different strains of Australian Merino Sheep to which the vast majority owe their ancestry. Peppin Merino Likely to be the most common type of Merino Sheep with as many as 70 percent of Australia’s Merinos being descended from the Peppin. Peppin Merino Wool is between the 20-23 microns and a stud ram may produce up to 18 kg or more of wool per year. The Peppin sheep was primarily bred for more temperate climates however they are very adaptable, allowing them to be seen in many different areas. South Australian Merino The South Australian Merino is the largest strain of Merino in Australia, making them longer and weigh more than other types. The Merino Wool that is produced from these sheep is the thickest in diameter and is at the end range of wool types. Saxon Merino In contrast to the South Australian Merino, the Saxon Merino is the smallest of its type and produces some of the finest quality of wool. Whilst a Peppin Merino may produce up to 18 kg of wool per year, a Saxon may only produce 3 kg of extra ultrafine wool. Its fineness makes it soft to handle and is sought after for production in expensive cloths. Spanish Merino The Spanish Merino is directly descended from its origins in Spain and has spread from its home after Spain began to export their Merino sheep. Despite this, they are relatively few in number in comparison to the other breeds. Physically, they are of similar proportions to the Peppin Merino and produce super or extra fine wool. Benefits of Wool All types of wool are fantastic insulators and they have many natural properties which make them excellent candidates for quality clothing. Wool is breathable allowing it to retain its heat making it great for the likes of coats, knitwear and socks; however the heat will not become completely trapped within the fabric so that the wearer doesn’t overheat over a moderate period of time. Wool blends well with other fabrics whether they are natural such as cashmere or synthetic, allowing for a wide range of options. Wool is water resistant which makes it stand out against a great many other natural fabrics thanks to a water-repellent outer layer. Each individual fibre can hold up to 30% of their own weight in moisture without getting damp. Benefits of Merino Wool Wool naturally has many sought after characteristics which make it an ide


Tiramisu: Italy’s Most Popular Dessert Tiramisu, Italy’s “Pick Me Up” Dessert Your Favorite Espresso-Kissed Italian Trifle Dessert POSTED August 23, 2016 Tiramisu quite literally means, “a pick me up.” One of Italy’s most popular, Tiramisu is a rich treat blending the bold flavors of cocoa and espresso with savory mascarpone cheese and wine, layered with ladyfinger biscuits.   After-Dinner Indulgence At many Italian tables, a meal is often finished with fresh fruit rather than dessert. Dessert is reserved for special occasions. It stands to reason that this may be why Italian desserts are notable for presenting lavish arrangements of indulgent ingredients and truly unforgettable flavor combinations. Italian dessert making is like all of Italian cuisine with one distinct rule: to create dishes that provide pleasure above all else. Among the most popular Italian desserts, tiramisu is undoubtedly number one.   Rich, Dark Flavors Tiramisu is an elegant and rich layered Italian dessert made with delicate ladyfinger cookies, espresso  or instant espresso , mascarpone cheese, eggs, sugar, Marsala wine, rum and cocoa powder. Through the grouping of these diverse ingredients, an intense yet refined dish emerges. The delicate flavor of layers of mascarpone and Italian custard are contrasted with the darkly robust presence of espresso and sharpness of cocoa powder. The name itself, tiramisu, means “pick me up” in Italian most likely referring to the two caffeinated ingredients that are present in the dish, espresso and cocoa. Traditional tiramisu begins with Savoiardi Ladyfingers , light and delicately sweet sponge cake biscuits. These cookies have a long standing heritage in Italian Cuisine developed at the court of the Duchy of Savoy during the 15th century to welcome a visit from the King of France. Savoiardi Ladyfingers were given their name when they were granted the designation of “official court biscuit.”   It’s All in the Making When making tiramisu , the Savoiardi ladyfingers are soaked in a mixture of espresso (or instant espresso ) rum and sugar. The crunchy biscuits become soft once the espresso mixture is added. Next, a layer of mascarpone cheese and a layer of zabaglione are added. Zabaglione is traditional Italian custard made from egg yolks, Marsala wine, and sugar. Ladyfingers are important to tiramisu, giving it a texture that contrasts well with the silky layers of mascarpone and custard. Tiramisu is finished with a dusting of rich cocoa powder—a key component of its appearance and taste! Today a number of tiramisu variations are available. One popular alternative includes chocolate tiramisu, in which chocolate takes the place of the coffee. Another version is fruit tiramisu, where complementary fruit such as berries , peaches or apricots are added. Frozen tiramisu recipes are also available. They include the addition of gelato, frozen yogurt or ice cream in place of the custard. Tiramisu’s popularity over the last three decades have prompted cooks to adapt the essential ingredients used in the dish for a number of recipes such as cakes, ice creams, cheesecakes and puddings.    Much in the same way that the English trifle is often served during holidays, tiramisu is a wonderful Italian delicacy to add to holiday festivities. Although after trying it once, food lovers may not be able to wait for a special occasion before they decide to serve it again.


What is on the northern border of South Dakota?

NORTH DAKOTA'S BOUNDARIES NORTH DAKOTA'S BOUNDARIES by John P. Bluemle Introduction I recently received a letter from a lady in Oklahoma who wondered "Why are the boundaries of your state where they are?   Why not a few miles down the road or in some other location?   How were they decided?" The lady may have sent the same letter to every state.    I suppose a geographer or historian might know many of the answers to her questions, but I didn't and, I suspect, neither do a lot of other North Dakotans.   Nor could I find any kind of reference that included this information all in one place.   Geographers I asked couldn't direct me to a specific reference that includes the information. My goal here is to describe how the boundaries of North Dakota were established, and insofar as I can, I'll try to provide an answer to the questions the lady asked.   I'll begin with a general discussion of how geographic boundaries are established and follow with an account of each of North Dakota's four boundaries. How Geographic Boundaries are Commonly Established Geographic boundaries are defined, established, and changed in various ways. Three of the most common means of defining jurisdictional boundaries are: .   By a water boundary, such as a stream, lake, or other body of water (e.g. North Dakota's eastern boundary - the Red River of the North); .   By a divide between two drainage basins (the boundary between parts of Montana and Idaho); .   By a meridian of longitude or a parallel of latitude (North Dakota's northern, southern, and western boundaries). The precision of the last of these depends upon the accuracy and ability of the surveyor.   Certainly, no doubt exists as to the intent of the wording when a parallel of latitude is specified, because the numbering always begins with zero at the equator.   Meridians are more ambiguous.   The numbering of meridians increases from zero to the east and west of Greenwich, England, but this has not always been so; even today in some countries, the initial meridian is the one passing through the nation's capital.   In the United States, the meridian passing through Washington, D.C., was used as a point of departure from 1850 until 1912.   [The Washington meridian passes through the center of the dome of the old Naval Observatory at 24th Street and Constitution Avenue NW, Washington, D.C., which is located 5 hours, 8 minutes, 12.15 seconds or 77°03'02.3" west of Greenwich.]   It was during the years when this law was in effect that North Dakota's boundaries were determined.   The above-mentioned longitude, 77°03'02.3", became the eventual basis for establishing the line that is the boundary between the states of North Dakota and Montana. The State of North Dakota By the enabling act of February 22, 1889, Dakota Territory was divided into two parts, North Dakota and South Dakota:   The area comprising the Territory of Dakota shall...be divided on the line of the seventh standard parallel produced due west to the western boundary of said Territory...   The enabling act provided for a constitutional convention of 75 members, with three to be elected from each of twenty-five districts.   On May 14, in a late blizzard, voters went to the polls in their sleighs to elect the delegates.   The convention convened on July 4 in Bismarck and drafted a constitution (for more detailed information on the debates that took place during the convention, see Elwyn Robinson's History of North Dakota).   The North Dakota constitution was ratified on October 1, 1889. The enabling act described the state's boundaries as follows:   "The State of North Dakota shall consist of all the territory included within the following boundaries, to wit: Commencing at a point in the main channel of the Red River of the North, where the forty-ninth degree of north latitude crosses the same, from thence south up the main channel of the same and along the boundary line of the State of Minnesota to a point where the seventh standard parallel intersects the same; thence west along said seventh standard parallel to a point where i

What was worn by the leader of the first Tour de France?

The Birth of the Tour de France, 110 Years Ago - History in the Headlines The Birth of the Tour de France, 110 Years Ago June 28, 2013 By Christopher Klein 2012 Tour de France The Birth of the Tour de France, 110 Years Ago Author The Birth of the Tour de France, 110 Years Ago URL Google Launched as a newspaper publicity stunt in 1903, the Tour de France instantly proved itself an epic test of endurance, with competitors in the first race pedaling through the night on grueling stages that lasted upwards of 24 hours. Cheating was also endemic from the very start. As the Tour de France embarks on its 100th edition—world wars canceled 11 races—take a look back at the birth of the world’s most famous cycling race. On July 1, 1903, 60 men mounted their bicycles outside the Café au Reveil Matin in the Parisian suburb of Montgeron. The five-dozen riders were mostly French, with just a sprinkle of Belgians, Swiss, Germans and Italians. A third were professionals sponsored by bicycle manufacturers, the others simply devotees of the sport. All 60 wheelmen, however, were united by the challenge of embarking on an unprecedented test of endurance—not to mention the 20,000 francs in prize money—in the inaugural Tour de France. At 3:16 p.m., the cyclists turned the pedals of their bicycles and raced into the unknown. Nothing like the Tour de France had ever been attempted before. Journalist Geo Lefevre had dreamt up the fanciful race as a stunt to boost the circulation of his struggling daily sports newspaper, L’Auto. Henri Desgrange, the director-editor of L’Auto and a former champion cyclist himself, loved the idea of turning France into one giant velodrome. They developed a 1,500-mile clockwise loop of the country running from Paris to Lyon, Marseille, Toulouse, Bordeaux and Nantes before returning to the French capital. There were no Alpine climbs and only six stages—as opposed to the 21 stages in the 2013 Tour— but the distances covered in each of them were monstrous, an average of 250 miles. (No single stage in the 2013 Tour tops 150 miles.) Between one and three rest days were scheduled between stages for recovery. The inaugural Tour de France, July 1903. The first stage of the epic race was particularly dastardly. The route from Paris to Lyon stretched nearly 300 miles. No doubt several of the riders who wheeled away from Paris worried not about winning the race—but surviving it. Unlike today’s riders, the cyclists in 1903 rode over unpaved roads without helmets. They rode as individuals, not team members. Riders could receive no help. They could not glide in the slipstream of fellow riders or vehicles of any kind. They rode without support cars. Cyclists were responsible for making their own repairs. They even rode with spare tires and tubes wrapped around their torsos in case they developed flats. And unlike modern-day riders, the cyclists in the 1903 Tour de France, forced to cover enormous swathes of land, spent much of the race riding through the night with moonlight the only guide and stars the only spectators. During the early morning hours of the first stage, race officials came across many competitors “riding like sleepwalkers.” Hour after hour through the night, riders abandoned the race. One of the favorites, Hippolyte Aucouturier, quit after developing stomach cramps, perhaps from the swigs of red wine he took as an early 1900s version of a performance enhancer. Twenty-three riders abandoned the first stage of the race, but the one man who barreled through the night faster than anyone else was another pre-race favorite, 32-year-old professional Maurice Garin. The mustachioed French national worked as a chimney sweep as a teenager before becoming one of France’s leading cyclists. Caked in mud, the diminutive Garin crossed the finish line in Lyon a little more than 17 hours after the start outside Paris. In spite of the race’s length, he won by only one minute. “The Little Chimney Sweep” built his lead as the race progressed. By the fifth stage, Garin had a two-hour advantage. When his nearest competitor suffered two f


"In 1959, the Soviet space probe ""Luna Two"" became the first man-made object to do what?"

The Other Moon Landings   |   Space | Air & Space Magazine Air & Space Magazine Contact Privacy Policy Terms of Use The Other Moon Landings The Soviets lost the moon race but won a dram of glory with the first robotic craft to roam another world. Artist's conception of the Lunokhod rover about to descend ramps from the landing module. (NASA History Office) Air & Space Magazine              | Subscribe March 2004 THERE WAS A TIME, in the early years of the space race, when the moon seemed to be Soviet territory. The first man-made object to reach the moon was the Soviet Luna 2 probe, which struck the surface in September 1959. A month later Luna 3 gave humanity its first glimpse of the moon’s far side. In February and March 1966, Luna 9 transmitted the first pictures from the lunar surface and Luna 10 orbited the moon. And in September 1968 a handful of turtles and simpler organisms aboard the Soviets’ Zond 5 became the first living beings to make a circumlunar voyage. By then, planners within the USSR were hopeful that the first words spoken from the surface of the moon would be Russian. From This Story Photo Gallery But when a trio of U.S. astronauts orbited the moon in December 1968, that hope all but died. Apollo 8’s triumph sent a shock wave through the Soviet space hierarchy, which realized that the political victory of landing the first men on the moon would soon go to the Americans. Soviet leaders wondered what to do in response. Ultimately they focused on robotic missions, which were not only easier and cheaper than piloted lunar voyages but would also give them a chance to spin their space program as a scientific venture, rather than one conducted just for the sake of Cold War competition. The Luna missions were to include an automated sample-return probe; the government ordered that effort accelerated. On a second attempt after a June 1969 launch failure, Luna 15 began circling the moon on July 17, 1969, two days before the Apollo 11 astronauts themselves entered lunar orbit for the first manned landing attempt. If all went according to plan, the Soviet craft could be back on Earth with a container of lunar soil a day after the astronauts returned—close enough to upstage the U.S. achievement, or, if Apollo 11 failed, to give the Soviets an outright triumph. But on July 21, as Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin were preparing to lift off from the Sea of Tranquillity, Luna 15, while making its descent into the Sea of Crises, smashed into a mountain. Not until September 20, 1970, did Luna 16 alight safely on the Sea of Fertility and carry out a sample-return mission. Luna 16 was a dazzling technical achievement, but it was also clear that, compared with America’s manned lunar missions, it didn’t measure up scientifically. By this time, two teams of Apollo astronauts had brought back a total of over 120 pounds of rock and dust. Luna 16’s return was just 3.5 ounces. Still, geologist Alexander “Sasha” Basilevsky of the Vernadsky Institute for Geochemistry recalls that the sense of competition with the Americans was still very much alive. “These samples would be our samples,” Basilevsky says. “We would study them. If you don’t send anything [to the moon], you’re just defeated.”  But Basilevsky was already looking forward to a very different kind of mission—one that would turn him into a virtual lunar explorer. With the Soviet manned landing effort in limbo, a rover was slated to substitute for human explorers. Its name was Lunokhod, Russian for “moonwalker.” The first challenge chief designer Georgiy Babakin and his team at the Lavochkin Design Institute faced was protecting their machine from the temperature extremes it would encounter on the moon. Lunokhod would have to operate in the blistering heat of the two-week lunar day, up to 240 degrees Fahrenheit, and survive the frigid two-week lunar night, when temperatures plummet to 290 degrees below zero. To control temperatures inside the rover, designers chose a tub-like pressurized shell, topped by a lid that could be opened and closed on command from


"Which TV series had the slogan ""The Truth Is Out There""?"

Are there any legal ramifications to using a slogan associated with a movie or TV show as a product or company slogan? - Quora Quora Existence Question Are there any legal ramifications to using a slogan associated with a movie or TV show as a product or company slogan? For example, the TV show the X-Files had "The Truth is Out There".  Another example would be a character catch phrase like "...In a van, down by the river".  Say I was to open a lunch truck and call it "In a van, down by the river" or some such nonsense. Written Apr 21, 2015 If the slogan is trademarked, then your use of it could be an infingement of the trademark. Generally, most trademark infringement actions result in a letter or an injunction forcing the infringing party to cease all use of the trademark. In limited instances, civil and criminal penalties can be imposed for willful violation of trademark law. You can search the Internet to see if the phrase you want to use appears anyplace with a "TM" symbol next to it.  Look especially at official sites related to the movie and television show. However, you should consult a lawyer specializing in intellectual property rights to be sure. 196 Views I am not a lawyer, but yes. If someone could be confused about the "original" slogan's product/producers supporting your product, you could be sued. Trademarks are for a specific category though. Written Apr 21, 2015 Yes. It's always tricky knowing if or when a company might take action, but if it's a really well known phrase and you're using it in a commercial context, then they could, at the least argue that you are engaging in misleading or deceptive conduct under the Australian Consumer Law. That argument is that the average punter out there might hear the phrase, and think that your business is somehow endorsed by, or otherwise associated with the original. At worst that film distributor/content owner might also have a registered trade mark for the phrase - which means that no one else can apply that phrase or anything similar to certain categories of product or service. In short, yep, the name might clearly be a joke, and your business tiny, but do some homework before you pick the name out, get some basic legal advice from an IP lawyer, and make an informed decision on the risks. 100 Views


"What is the name given to the code of Roman law that was ""published"" with the approval of the Roman Republic in 450 BC?"

Roman Legal System I. The Roman Legal System Highlighted text popups only work with CSS compliant browsers like IE5 and Netscape6 (or higher). One of the most apparent of Rome's continuing influences on today's society exists in the governmental structure and legal system in use in much of the western world. The Roman law as codified by Gaius during the Flavian emperors is today the basis for most European legal systems and laws. In this system, all laws are listed by crimes in one or more books. In England and the United States a variation of the Roman law called Common Law,is used. The judgment and punishments are based on precedent, on rulings that previous judges and juries have made. Where we see Latin influence most in the legal system of the United States is in the language of the courts. Most early civilizations were ruled by custom or the arbitrary judgments of kings or priests Laws and the punishments for not following the laws were at the whim of the ruler. However, in 450 BC, after a revolt of plebs who felt they were entitled to know and be able to interpret the code of laws, the Twelve Tables were established. A ten-man commission with extraordinary powers, decemviri legibus scribundis, set forth the basis of law for all Roman citizens. It was a complete ius civile. These tables covered all areas of the law emphasizing the procedure that was to be followed for various crimes. They made the law open and applicable, supposedly, to all citizens but those with wealth generally found ways to escape judgment. The laws of the Twelve Tables were never repealed but some fell into disuse as the centuries passed. We, too, have some laws still on the books but not practiced. In Kentucky, for example, it is illegal to carry an ice cream cone in one's pocket! One must keep in mind the extent of time covered by Rome's republic and empire. About 160 AD, about 600 years after the establishment of the Twelve Tables, a jurist named Gaius wrote about Roman laws. About 400 years later the Emperor Justinian engaged jurists to create a complete compilation of Roman laws. Thus we know much of what the law was, but we have limited knowledge of the application of these laws, especially with regard to women, the lower classes, or peoples outside of Rome. We know some of the application of laws to members of the upper classes but again do not know to what extent bribery and corruption altered the course of justice. This is due to the fact that most of our knowledge comes from upper class males. Citizenship was exclusive and the Roman Empire was marked by strong class distinctions. The wealthy had control of most of the legal customs prior to the establishment of the Twelve Tables and they kept their influence in the Roman courts. Quaestiones perpetuae ("standing jury courts") basically comprised the criminal courts of the late Republic. There were several of these courts, each one dealing with a different statutory offense. The large juries were drawn from a list of upper class citizens and ruled by majority vote. The option of appeal did not become available until after Augustus's rule. Crime, especially violent crime, increased during the Punic wars as the lower class population, forced from their small farms by the large farm owners, swelled the population there. Slaves were brought to Rome as a consequence of the wars as well, creating mass unemployment amongst the people. Idleness too led to the increase of crimes. Anyone accused of a crime could be brought in front of the praetor urbanus by his accuser. This dispute could also be settled by a junior magistrate. In either case, the punishment, we think, was severe. Not much has been written about punishments of the lower class folk. Crimes such as false witness, adultery and counterfeiting were punished with the death penalty. Less serious crimes were punished in a policy of "an eye for an eye". The death penalty was enforced by burying alive, throwing from a cliff or burning the guilty one. Executions were even ordered for possession of weapons with criminal intent or for pos

by Long, William J. The story of how printing came to England, not as a literary but as a business venture, is a very interesting one. Caxton was an English merchant who had established himself at Bruges, then one of the trading centers of Europe. There his business prospered, and he became governor of the Domus Angliae, or House of the English Guild of Merchant Adventurers. There is romance in the very name. With moderate wealth came leisure to Caxton, and he indulged his literary taste by writing his own version of some popular romances concerning the siege of Troy, being encouraged by the English princess Margaret, Duchess of Burgundy, into whose service he had entered. Copies of his work being in demand, Caxton consulted the professional copyists, whose beautiful work we read about in a remarkable novel called The Cloister and the Hearth. Then suddenly came to Bruges the rumor of Gutenberg's discovery of printing from movable types, and Caxton hastened to Germany to investigate the matter, led by the desire to get copies of his own work as cheaply as possible. The discovery fascinated him; instead of a few copies of his manuscript he brought back to Bruges a press, from which he issued his Recuyell of the Historyes of Troy (1474), which was probably the first book to appear in English print. Quick to see the commercial advantages of the new invention, Caxton moved his printing press to London, near Westminster Abbey, where he brought out in 1477 his Dictes and Sayinges of the Philosophers, the first book ever printed on English soil. [Footnote: Another book of Caxton's, The Game and Playe of the Chesse (1475) was long accorded this honor, but it is fairly certain that the book on chess-playing was printed in Bruges.] The First Printed Books From the very outset Caxton's venture was successful, and he was soon busy in supplying books that were most in demand. He has been criticized for not printing the classics and other books of the New Learning; but he evidently knew his business and his audience, and aimed to give people what they wanted, not what he thought they ought to have. Chaucer's Canterbury Tales, Malory's Morte d'Arthur, Mandeville's Travels, �sop's Fables, parts of the �neid, translations of French romances, lives of the saints (The Golden Legend), cookbooks, prayer books, books of etiquette,--the list of Caxton's eighty-odd publications becomes significant when we remember that he printed only popular books, and that the titles indicate the taste of the age which first looked upon the marvel of printing.

Where do the rivers Dart, Tavy, Teigh and Okement rise?

Water | Legendary Dartmoor Tim Sandles March 23, 2016 Aspects Of Dartmoor Leave a comment 1,280 Views Water is one commodity Dartmoor is not short of although experts would say that the moor is getting dryer. Having had the luxury of living in a house that got its own water supply direct from a Dartmoor spring I can say it is the coldest, sweetest water you can taste. Dartmoor is the source of most of Devon’s rivers, which begin their journeys in the bogs and mires of the high moor. The main rivers are the Teign, Dart, Avon, Erme, Yealm, Plym, Tavy, Okement and Taw. They are acidic, steep and fast flowing, with a speedy response to rainfall and are classified as torrent rivers.  The Main Rivers of Dartmoor. If you take the 25 rivers on Dartmoor their approximate total length of the moorland courses is 137 miles and the total combined length from source to sea is around 287 miles, this does not include streams and leats, clearly a lot of water. The earliest recorded river is the Teign and this was documented in AD739 as the Teng. Over the centuries the moorland water has been used for many purposes such as drinking and household use, a power source for industry, hydro electricity, and leisure activities such as fishing and swimming. The earliest domestic scheme to exploit moorland water was the construction of Drake’s Leat (completed in 1591). This took  water from the river Meavy and delivered it 17 miles via a leat to Plymouth. In 1793 another leat was built to carry water to Devonport, this took water from the headwaters of the West Dart, the Cowsic and the Blackabrook and carried it 21 miles to Devonport. Many of the Dartmoor towns and villages had their wells and springs which obtained the water from the moor, several still survive today. One such example is the ‘ Saxon Well ‘ at Widecombe on the Moor.  By the end of the 19th century these methods of supplying water to Plymouth were regarded as inadequate as open leats were prone to becoming clogged  with snow in harsh winters so it was decided to build a reservoir. In 1898 Burrator reservoir was completed at a cost of £150,000 and it flooded an area of 117 acres. In 1929 the reservoir was extended to take in an area of 150 acres. This meant many moorland farms were abandoned and submerged under its waters. In 1907 the Venford reservoir was completed, this supplied water to Paignton and covered 33 acres.  In 1942 Fernworthy reservoir was completed, this one covered 76 acres and supplied Torquay with water. In 1950 work began on the 110 acre, Avon reservoir, this was to supply water  the South Devon Water Company. Three other reservoirs that originally were not in the bounds of the nation park are Trenchford, Kenniford and Tottiford. Grimstone & Sortridge Leat. As previously mentioned, there were many miles of leats built on the moor. Some delivered water to the big cities, some delivered water to towns, some delivered water-power to the tin mines and other industrial concerns and some simply delivered water to moorland farms and dwellings (pot water leats). They are a true feat of engineering because in order to work they must gently flow downhill but to look at some of them they appear to be flowing uphill. It was the engineering skills of the old tin miners that gave rise to the leat building phenomena.  Many of the leats are now dry but their courses are still clearly visible as they wind around the hillside contours. The farm leats were used to provide all the water needed on the farm. This would not only be for domestic use but for watering the animals, cleaning the parlour and in many cases before refrigeration for cooling cream and cheese. A granite trough would be placed near the house and a constant flow of cold water would keep anything placed in it cold. If ever you want a gentle walk on Dartmoor simply follow a leat, this will give you a gradual ascent or descent and in some cases can be a pleasant experience. There are several features associated with leats, one being the ‘sheep leap’ . This is simply two projecting slabs of granite site opposite each ot


"General Victoriano Huerta, Emiliano Zapata and ""Pancho"" Villa feature in the history of which country?"

HUERTA, VICTORIANO | The Handbook of Texas Online| Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) Texas State Historical Association (TSHA) Site HUERTA, VICTORIANO HUERTA, VICTORIANO (1854–1916). Victoriano Huerta, Mexican general and usurper of the Mexican presidency, was born on March 23, 1854, in Colotlán, Jalisco, Mexico, the son of a mestizo father and a Huichol Indian mother. He was educated locally and in his early teens expressed interest in a military career. In May 1869, when Gen. Donato Guerra visited Colotlán and expressed his need for a personal secretary, the fifteen-year-old Huerta volunteered and was accepted. Guerra arranged Huerta's entry into the Colegio Militar de Chapultepec, with the assistance of Mexican president Benito Juárez, in 1872. Huerta distinguished himself during his five years as a cadet, despite his humble origins. Upon his graduation in 1877 he was commissioned a second lieutenant in the Corps of Engineers and assigned to head a team of engineers building and repairing fortifications in Vera Cruz and Puebla. In 1879 Porfirio Díaz accepted Huerta's plan for the organization of a proposed general staff and promoted him to captain. For the next nine years Huerta supervised the general staff's cartographic activities in Puebla and in Jalapa, Vera Cruz, where he met and married Emilia Águila; they eventually had eleven children. In 1890, having achieved the rank of colonel, Huerta was recalled to Mexico City and received a permanent appointment to the general staff. In October 1893 he commanded an infantry battalion in the campaign to suppress a rebellion in Guerrero. In November 1895 he was appointed commander of the government forces in Chilpancingo, but two years later was again recalled to Mexico City, where he was placed in charge of the general staff's topographical and astronomical departments. In December 1900 he was sent back into the field to help suppress a rebellion of Yaqui Indians in Sonora. In 1901 the state of Guerrero was again in rebellion, and in April Huerta's friend Bernardo Reyes, the minister of war, sent Huerta to treat with the rebels. Huerta had succeeded in quashing the revolt by July, and returned to Mexico City with a temporary brigadier generalship in September, but in less than a month was sent to the Yucatán to help put down an uprising among the Maya Indians. He was placed in full command in May 1902, after secretly communicating to Reyes his dismay at the conduct of the campaign. A few months later, having successfully concluded the campaign, Huerta returned to Mexico City and received a permanent appointment as a brigadier general, the Military Merit Decoration, and appointment to the Mexican Military Supreme Court. While in the Yucatán, however, he had developed cataracts, which continued to plague him for the rest of his life. After the old-line Díaz supporters forced Reyes, whose political ambitions they distrusted, out of office, Huerta reportedly suggested that a military coup might be in order. Reyes, however, chose to return to the governorship of Nuevo León. In 1907 Huerta requested an indefinite leave of absence for health reasons and moved to Monterrey, Nuevo León. He worked as an engineer for the next 2½ years, during which Reyes steered several large street-paving contracts his way. In late 1909, after Díaz sent Reyes to Europe, Huerta returned to Mexico City, where he taught private classes in mathematics. On November 20, 1910, Francisco I. Madero issued his Plan de San Luis Potosí, which called for a general uprising against the Díaz government. Huerta applied for active duty and rejoined the army. In April 1911 he was named commander of the federal forces in Guerrero. After Díaz resigned on May 25, Huerta was chosen to command the convoy escorting the former dictator and his family to Vera Cruz. In August 1911 interim president Francisco León de la Barra ordered Huerta to Cuernavaca to enforce the demobilization of Emiliano Zapata's forces. The delicate situation threatened to escalate into full-scale war. Zapata demanded that the federal troops


What is the surname of Rebecca in the novel by Daphne du Maurier?

SparkNotes: Rebecca: Summary SparkNotes Context Characters Rebecca's narrative takes the form of a flashback. The heroine, who remains nameless, lives in Europe with her husband, Maxim de Winter, traveling from hotel to hotel, harboring memories of a beautiful home called Manderley, which, we learn, has been destroyed by fire. The story begins with her memories of how she and Maxim first met, in Monte Carlo, years before. In her flashback, the heroine is working as the young traveling companion to a wealthy American named Mrs. Van Hopper. In her flashback, Maxim is staying at the same hotel as the heroine and her employer, and after knowing the heroine for only a few weeks, he proposes marriage. She accepts, and he marries her and takes her back to his ancestral estate of Manderley. But a dark cloud hangs over their marriage: Maxim's first wife, Rebecca, drowned in a cove near Manderley the previous year, and her ghost haunts the newlyweds' home. Rebecca's devoted housekeeper, the sinister Mrs. Danvers, is still in charge of Manderley, and she frightens and intimidates her new mistress. Despite the encouragement of the house overseer, Frank Crawley, and Maxim's sister, Beatrice, the heroine struggles in her new life at Manderley. She feels that she can never compare favorably to Rebecca, who was beautiful, talented, and brilliant--or so everyone says--and soon she feels that Maxim is still in love with his dead wife. Manderley traditionally hosts a costume ball each year, and it is soon time for the gala to take place. Swept up in the preparations, the heroine's spirits begin to revive. But the ball ends in disaster: on Mrs. Danvers's suggestion she wears a costume that, it turns out, is the same dress that Rebecca wore at the last ball. Upon seeing the heroine, Maxim is horrified, and the heroine becomes convinced that he will never love her, that he is still devoted to Rebecca. The following day, Mrs. Danvers almost convinces her to kill herself, and she only breaks away from the old woman's spell when rockets go off over the cove, signaling that a ship has run aground. When divers swim near the grounded ship, they find the wreckage of Rebecca's sailboat, with Rebecca's dead body in the hold. This discovery prompts Maxim to tell the heroine the truth: Rebecca was a malevolent, wicked woman, who lived a secret life and carried on multiple affairs, including one with her cousin, Jack Favell. On the night of her death, Maxim had demanded a divorce, and she had refused, and told him that she was pregnant with Favell's child. Furious, he seized a gun and shot her, and then sailed out to the harbor in Rebecca's boat and sank it, with the body stowed safely inside. This revelation restores the heroine's marriage, and enables her to finally shake off the burden of Rebecca's ghost. Meanwhile, however, the noose of justice tightens around Maxim: first, it is found that holes have been drilled in the bottom of Rebecca's boat; luckily the coroner delivers a report of suicide, rather than murder. But soon Rebecca's cousin Favell, certain that Rebecca did not kill herself, accuses Maxim of the crime. The local magistrate, Colonel Julyan, investigates, and finds that on the day of her death, Rebecca went up to London to see a Doctor Baker. Favell, Maxim, and the heroine accompany Julyan to London; the heroine is certain that Baker will reveal that Rebecca was pregnant, thus revealing Maxim's vengeful motive for murder. But instead, it turns out that Rebecca was dying of cancer, and that furthermore she was infertile; she had lied to Maxim about her pregnancy. Her terminal illness now supplies a motive for Rebecca's supposed suicide, and Maxim is saved. He and the heroine drive all night back to Manderley, stopping only once, when Maxim calls home and learns that Mrs. Danvers has disappeared. As they crest the ridge near the mansion, they look down and find it in flames. More Help


What name was given by the Greeks to cave dwellers who supposedly lived in the Caucasus or on the banks of the Red Sea?

The Original Black Cultures of Eastern Europe and Asia     "New" DEEP Search All of Realhistory using Keyword or Phrase Pages formatted for MS Explorer Only:  Shifted Text Will Result Otherwise! Ancient Man and His First Civilizations   The Original Black Cultures of Eastern Europe and Asia And their first contacts with the invading White People of Central Asia (China and South Asia are treated separately)   Is this worth reading - is it True?   On the matter of credibility: On first reading, readers of these pages generally feel amazement, the concept of Blacks being the original settlers, and builders of the first civilizations everywhere, including Europe, is particularly unsettling to them. Both Black and White, because they were taught that there were no Blacks in Europe until the Romans brought them. Then some Blacks correctly say: Uh huh, I knew the Whites were lying, and then go on to enjoy their edification. But Whites remain incredulous, they say: this is simply Blacks with no accomplishments, trying to steal White accomplishment and history! They say, if this was true, my Teachers and Professors would have taught it to me. So either this is lies, or the information is so new that my Teachers and Professors don't know about it yet! Well No, though it may be comforting to believe that your Teachers and Professors are of sufficient character that they would not lie to you, the facts do not support that conclusion. The fact is that European scientists had evidence, and knew from earlier that the 19th century, of the Black mans central role in settling and establishing civilization in Europe and everywhere else. The exhibits below attest to the fact that this knowledge was known over a hundred years ago. So either your Teachers and Professors are indeed liars, or they were very poorly educated.     Face of the first European: The Newspaper story... Quote: This clay sculpture portrays the face of the earliest known modern European - a man or woman who hunted deer and gathered fruit and herbs in ancient forests more than 35,000 years ago. It was created by Richard Neave; one of Britain's leading forensic scientists, using fossilized fragments of skull and jawbone found in a cave seven years ago. His recreation offers a tantalizing glimpse into life before the dawn of civilization. It also shows the close links between the first European settlers and their immediate African ancestors. It was made for the BBC2 series The Incredible Human Journey. This will follow the evolution of humans from the cradle of Africa to the waves of migrations that saw Homo sapiens colonize the globe. (The program will be shown on BBC2 at 9.30pm on May 10). The head is based on remains of one of the earliest known anatomically modern Europeans. The lower jawbone was discovered by potholers in Pestera cu Oase, the "cave with bones", located in the southwestern Carpathian Mountains of Romania in 2002. The rest of the fragments were found the following year. The bones were carbon-dated to between 34,000 and 36,000 years ago when Europe was occupied by two species of human. They were the Neanderthals, who had arrived from Africa tens of thousands of years earlier, and the more recent modern humans, also known as Cro-Magnons. Although the skull is similar to a modern human head, it has a larger cranium, is more robust and has larger molars. Fossil experts are also unsure if the skull was male or female.       A subsequent DNA study by David Reich & Svante Pääbo titled: "An early modern human from Romania with a recent Neanderthal ancestor:" Terms the specimen "Oase-1" and re-dates it to 37,000ï¿½42,000-years-old. Oase-1 belongs to the Y-dna haplogroup F, which is carried by most males in Eurasia today. The Mtdna = N. Study quote: We then find that the Oase 1 individual shares equally as many alleles with early Europeans, as with present-day East Asians and Native Americans.   Notes: As is always the case with White people, and information regarding race; there is always the likelihood of falsehood or misinformation. In this case the Romanian bon
