The reigning Olympic 5000 metres champion is Mamo Wolde. What nationality is he?

Sports archive at Tadias Magazine Updated Tuesday, December 27th, 2016 Olympic champion’s body will be sent back to Ethiopia this week Miruts Yifter, an Ethiopian running legend dubbed “Yifter the Shifter” for his ability to power away from rivals, was laid to rest at a packed funeral in Toronto on Tuesday. Yifter, a distance runner who won two gold medals in the 5,000- and 10,000-metre events at the 1980 Moscow Olympics and won bronze medals earlier at the 1972 Munich Games, died at 72 after battling respiratory problems. “He’s a national icon,” said Yonas Tadssa, a friend of Yifter’s who also hails from Ethiopia. “He’s our hero.” IAAF The IAAF is saddened by the news that Miruts Yifter, a double Olympic champion for Ethiopia at the 1980 Olympic Games, died yesterday (December 22) in Toronto, Canada, after being hospitalised for respiratory ailments. Yifter, considered by many as one of the greatest middle distance runners of all-time, was 72. Yifter’s crowning achievement was his 5,000 and 10,000m double triumph at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow at age 40, where he earned the nickname “Yifter the Shifter” for the rapid injections of speed that helped propel him to victory. In both contests, Yifter surged and slowed to confuse his key opponents. The tactic worked. “We talked about it with the coaches and I practiced taking off with 300 metres to go in both the 5000 and 10,000m races,” he recalled for a 2004 story on the IAAF website. “300 metres is the ideal mark – not too late, not too early. I listened to the movements of my opponents until five laps remained and then decided on my course of action. The tension start building at the bell, but before they could reassert themselves, I make my move.” Miruts Yifter in the 10,000m final at the 1980 Olympic Games in Moscow. His family announced on Friday that the legendary Ethiopian athlete has died at age 72. (AP) The Associated Press By Elias Meseret Dec 23, 2016 ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Miruts Yifter, an Ethiopian running legend who inspired world-class athletes like Haile Gebreselassie, has died in Canada at age 72, his family and Ethiopian Athletics Federation officials told the Associated Press on Friday. The athlete known widely by the nickname “Miruts the Shifter” won two gold medals at the 1980 Moscow Olympics at age 40 and won bronze medals earlier at the 1972 Munich Games. “Miruts has been everything to me and my athletics career,” said Haile Gebreselassie, the double Olympic 10,000-meter champion, who struggled with his tears while talking to the AP by phone. “When I started running, I just wanted to be like him. He is the reason for who I’m now and for what I have achieved.” Miruts’ son, Biniam Miruts, said his father had been suffering from respiratory problems. Tadias Staff Updated: Tuesday, December 6th, 2016 New York (TADIAS) — Ethiopia’s Almaz Ayana who set a new world record in the 10,000m race during the 2016 Olympics in Brazil was awarded this year’s “Female World Athlete of the Year” prize last Friday at a ceremony in Monaco. The 25-year-old long distance runner was accompanied at the event by Haile Gebreselassie who also acted as her translator. “After collecting her IAAF Female World Athlete of the Year award she was asked at what stage during her gold medal run in the 10,000m final at Rio 2016 she realised the world record was also in her grasp,” IAAF reported. ” ‘When I crossed the line,’ she quipped, through top translator Haile Gebrselassie.” Below are photos: Almaz Ayana and Jamaican sprinter Usain Bolt receive their awards from Prince Albert of Monaco (left) and IAAF president Lord Coe.

"Which is the most northerly of America's ""Great Lakes""?"

North America's most northerly rivers are sensitive to climate change. lenrosen4 Sep 30th, 2013 0 Comment Unlike South America’s Andes Mountains, the Western Cordillera of North America is much more complex containing multiple mountain ranges. And North America is further differentiated by its vast central plain forming a gigantic drainage basin for the Mississippi-Missouri River system draining into the Gulf of Mexico, and a number of Canadian rivers draining into the Arctic Ocean and Hudson’s Bay. Rivers on the east coast cut through the Appalachian Mountains, an ancient range. And finally North America boasts the largest agglomeration of freshwater lakes in the world, remnants of the last Ice Age, draining into the North Atlantic through the St. Lawrence River system. Because there are so many different river systems with individual characteristics we are dividing this topic into two parts. This posting looks at the more northerly rivers that flow west to east and south to north in North America. Our next posting on this subject will look at those rivers flowing into the Pacific, the Eastern seaboard from the Appalachians to the Atlantic, the Colorado River and the high plateau river systems in the Western U.S. and finally, the second largest drainage system on the planet, the Mississippi-Missouri and its many tributaries. How is climate change changing North America’s rivers? The majority of North America’s rivers are less dependent on glacier sources than on seasonal precipitation that comes in the form of rain in the summer and snow in the winter. The snow pack and build up of winter ice is not characteristic to many rivers in other parts of the world (Russia being the exception).  A number of rivers flowing from the Rocky Mountains and other ranges in the Western Cordillera, however, are glacier fed. So let’s begin. Mackenzie River – This is Canada’s longest river and most extensive freshwater drainage basin. It contains three of Canada’s largest freshwater lakes, Great Slave, Great Bear and Lake Athabasca. Its headwaters originate in glaciers in Alberta and British Columbia. From there the river flows north into the Arctic Ocean. Another unique characteristic of the Mackenzie is permafrost. The impact of warming which is forecasted to be greater in the Arctic than at the equator, therefore, will enormously impact the Mackenzie. Glacial melt will be less a problem than the disappearance of the permafrost and the accelerated release of methane hydrates trapped in the frozen ground. For the native North Americans, the communities found along it many tributaries and lakes, and the wildlife, the changes here will be more significant than anywhere else on the continent.     Saskatchewan-Nelson River System –  One of the most overlooked watersheds of North America, the Saskatchewan-Nelson flows from the Rocky Mountains in the west to Hudson’s Bay. It includes the North and South Saskatchewan, Bow, Red, Assiniboine and Nelson Rivers as well as Lake of the Woods in Ontario, Lake Winnipeg, Manitoba, Winnipegosis and Cedar. Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg and Fargo are among the major cities to be found in the watershed. The river basin is Canada’s granary for the world producing wheat, canola, corn and soy bean for domestic consumption and export. Climate change is posing a great threat to the integrity of this watershed . The melting of its glaciated headwaters has been apparent since the mid-2oth century. Just one of those glaciers, the Athabasca has retreated miles from the famous Ice Fields highway that runs between Banff and Jasper in Alberta. I remember visiting the Athabasca in 1973 with the foot of the glacier meters from the highway. Today it is kilometers away. The net decline amounts to 16 million cubic meters of water annually, and along with declining winter snows, is contributing to a 40% loss in river flow over the last 75 years for the North Saskatchewan. Higher evapo-transpiration rates are predicted on Canada’s Prairies over the next 50 years with average temperatures expected to rise by as

What is the main ingredient of Duxelles sauce or Duxelles stuffing?

What is a Duxelle? | What is? Home » Food » What is a Duxelle? What is a Duxelle? What is a Duxelle? Duxelle or Duxelles is a culinary mix of mushrooms, shallots, and onions which are sautÃ©ed together. This culinary mix is typically used as filling for pastries, as stuffing for some food items, as an addition to sauces and dips, and as food garnish. Usually mushroom tops are the ones chopped and used for this culinary mixture, but mushrooms stems may also be included in the mix. Some chefs also add some herbs to enhance the flavor of the mixture. Butter is also used in sautÃ©ing the mixture but other cooking oils may also be used. The mixture of all ingredients will then be reduced to a paste form and this can now be used for sauces, garnishes, fillings, and stuffings. It is also said that some mushroom varieties make for a stronger Duxelles flavor. Usually fresh mushrooms are chopped and used for sautÃ©ing, but if these are not available, dried mushrooms will do the trick. Mushrooms of the porcini variety is also said to be strong on the flavor when compared with the more generic brown and white mushrooms. Aside from its use as garnish, or filling and stuffing, Duxelles can also be used to make pastry tarts. Some people also use it as a spread for a variety of breads. Duxelles is also a popular alternative to pate de foie gras in making the recipe “Beef Wellington”. In this particular dish, instead of foie gras spread on the beef before wrapping with pastry, duxelles may be used. Some people also use duxelles to fill certain pastas like ravioli. It can also serve as filling for dumpling-like dishes. Some also like to have duxelles mixed with eggs to form an omelet. But for those not yet accustomed to its strong flavor and taste, it may be best to first try duxelles as a sauce, dip, or spread. A variety of meat dishes can take advantage of duxelles as a sauce or dip. Many people also like the idea of spreading duxelles onto grilled pieces of meat. If you like this article or our site.

William, Duke of Gloucester, was the only one of which monarch's twelve children to survive infancy?

Jørgen (Oldenburg) Fredericksen (1653-1708) | WikiTree: The FREE Family Tree Jørgen and wife Anna produced 17 pregnancies, most of which did not bring about issue: 1 Stillborn daughter 12 May 1684[89] 2 Mary 2 June 1685 8 February 1687[90] 3 Anne Sophia 12 May 1686 2 February 1687[91] 4 Miscarriage 21 January 1687[92] 5 Stillborn son 22 October 1687[93] 6 Miscarriage 16 April 1688[94] 7 William, Duke of Gloucester 24 July 1689 30 July 1700[95] 8 Mary 14 October 1690[96] 9 George 17 April 1692[97] 10 Stillborn daughter 23 March 1693[98] 11 Stillborn child 21 January 1694[b] 12 Miscarried daughter[102] 17[103] or 18[104] February 1696 13 Miscarriage 20 September 1696[c] 14 Miscarriage 25 March 1697[108] 15 Miscarriage early December 1697[109][d] 16 Stillborn son 15 September 1698[112] 17 Stillborn son 24 January 1700[113] Biography Prince George of Denmark and Norway, Duke of Cumberland (Danish: Jørgen; 2 April 1653 – 28 October 1708), was the husband of Queen Anne, who reigned over Great Britain from 1702. His marriage to Anne was arranged in the early 1680s with a view to developing an Anglo-Danish alliance to contain Dutch maritime power. As a result, George was unpopular with his Dutch brother-in-law William of Orange, who was married to Anne's elder sister, Mary. William and Mary became joint monarchs of Britain, with Anne as their heiress presumptive, in 1689 after the "Glorious Revolution" deposed James II and VII, the father of both Anne and Mary. William excluded George from active military service, and neither George nor Anne wielded any great influence until after the deaths of William and Mary, when Anne became queen. During his wife's reign, George occasionally used his influence in support of his wife, even when privately disagreeing with her views. He had an easy-going manner and little interest in politics; his appointment as Lord High Admiral in 1702 was largely honorary. By 1700, Anne had been pregnant at least seventeen times; twelve times, she miscarried or gave birth to stillborn children, and two of their five children born alive died within a day.[38] The only one of the couple's children to survive infancy—Prince William, Duke of Gloucester—died in July 1700 at the age of 11. With Gloucester's death, Anne was the only person in the line of succession to the throne, as established by the "Glorious Revolution". To extend the line and secure the Protestant succession, Parliament passed the Act of Settlement 1701, which designated William and Anne's nearest Protestant cousins, the House of Hanover, as the next in line after Anne.[39] Legacy In the United States, Prince George County, Maryland and Prince George County, Virginia are named in his honor.

'Masala Chai' is an Indian tea flavoured with which sweet spice?

Masala Chai Indian Spiced Tea) Recipe - Food.com cyaos April 13, 2008 Very tasty. I agree with other reviewers that it needs a dash more flavor, so I added more cloves and used honey to taste in place of sugar the second time I made this. Also, I added the milk at the end, since I feel the tea steeps better before the milk thickens the tea. Thanks. Scribbler515 September 26, 2010 First let me say that I am not crazy about tea until I was introduce to Somalian tea. While in college I used to get this tea to boost my energy and mentality level.

On the death of Horatio Nelson, who assumed command at the 'Battle of Trafalgar'?

THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR AND DEATH OF ADMIRAL HORATIO NELSON | The Mitchell Archives - Original Historic Newspapers THE BATTLE OF TRAFALGAR AND DEATH OF ADMIRAL HORATIO NELSON TRAFALGAR – A DECISIVE VICTORY FOR ENGLAND, BUT ALSO A GREAT LOSS (NELSON) COMPLETE EYEWITNESS DETAILS OF THE BLOODY BATTLE The London Gazette, EXTRAORDINARY November 6, 1805 We are truly proud to present first report of Admiral Collingwood’s (Nelson’s second in command) official account of the most famous English Naval battle since the defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1688. The admiral describes the triumph over the combined French and Spanish Fleet, lists the dead and wounded, and laments the death of Britain’s naval hero, Lord Horatio Nelson, who was mortally wounded while pacing the deck of his powerful flagship Victory.  The long report reads, in small part: “Euryalus, off Cape Trafalgar, October 22, 1805, SIR, The ever to be lamented Death of Vice-Admiral Lord Viscount Nelson, who, in the late Conflict with the Enemy, fell in the Hour of Victory, leave to me the Duty of Informing my Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty…”, followed by an in-depth account of the events leading to the battle, and the historic sea-fight itself. Collingwood continues: “…The Action began at Twelve o’clock, by the leading Ships of the Columns breaking through the Enemy’s line…the Conflict was severe; the Enemy’s Ships were fought with a Gallantry highly honorable to their Officers, but the Attack on them was irresistible, and it pleased the Almighty Disposer of all Events, to grant His Majesty’s Arms a complete and Glorious Victory…Such a Battle could not be fought without sustaining a great Loss of Men, I have not only to lament, in common with the British Navy, and the British Nation, on the Fall of the Commander in Chief, the Loss of a Hero, whose Name will be immortal, and his name ever dear to his Country.” Nelson invoked several new tactics that broke the enemy’s line of warships and created chaos–many of the French and Spanish ships never got into the battle!  In London, Trafalgar Square commemorated the legendary victory, and features a large statue of Horatio Nelson. In addition, his flagship “Victory” is berthed in Portsmouth where I had the honor to be piped aboard in my Naval uniform in 1987, and was allowed to examine Nelson’s cabin–quite a thrill for me. Four pages, last page blank, partial auburn tax stamp on page two, excellent condition throughout.  All other newspapers obtained their reports on the event from this printing. One of the rarest and most sought after of English newspapers. $9500


Which daughter of Laban and first wife of Jacob, bore him twelve sons?

Jacob had twelve sons, Genesis 29:31-30:24 and 35:23-26 | Bibleview English »  »  Bible »  »  Genesis – Part Two »  » Jacob had twelve sons, Genesis 29:31-30:24 and 35:23-26 Jacob had twelve sons, Genesis 29:31-30:24 and 35:23-26 Jacob had only eleven sons born to him before he left Laban in Paddan Aram e.g. Northern Euphrates. Now eastern Turkey or northern Syria. Benjamin was born to his wife Rachel later. These Twelve sons are to become the 12 tribes of Israel. Leah also bore Jacob a daughter called Dinah. Later we find her involved in a unhappy event for the sons of Jacob. see Genesis 34:1-31. Background Reading: Jacob had twelve sons – Leah’s Children 29:31 Later, the LORD noticed that Leah was being neglected, so he made her fertile, while Rachel remained childless. 32 Leah conceived, bore a son, and named him Reuben, because she was saying, “The LORD had looked on my torture, so now my husband will love me.” 33 Later, she conceived again, bore a son, and declared, “Because the LORD heard that I’m neglected, he gave me this one, too.” So she named him Simeon. 34 Later, she conceived again and said, “This time my husband will become attached to me, now that I’ve borne him three sons.” So he named him Levi. 35 Then she conceived yet again, bore a son, and said, “This time I’ll praise the LORD.” So she named him Judah. Then she stopped bearing children. Genesis 29:31-35 and Rachel’s Children by Bilhah 30:1 Rachel noticed that she was not bearing children for Jacob, so because she envied her sister Leah, she told Jacob, “If you don’t give me sons, I’m going to die!” 2 That made Jacob angry with Rachel, so he asked her, “Can I take God’s place, who has not allowed you to conceive?” 3 Rachel responded, “Here’s my handmaid Bilhah. Go have sex with her. She can bear children on my knees so I can have children through her.” 4 So Rachel gave Jacob her woman servant Bilhah to be his wife, and Jacob had sex with her. 5 Bilhah conceived and bore a son for Jacob. 6 Then Rachel said, “God has vindicated me! He has heard my voice and has given me a son.” Therefore, she named him Dan. 7 Rachel’s servant conceived again and bore a second son for Jacob, 8 so Rachel said, “I’ve been through a mighty struggle with my sister and won.” She named him Naphtali. 9 When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing children, she took her woman servant Zilpah and gave her to Jacob as a wife. 10 Leah’s servant Zilpah bore a son to Jacob, 11 and Leah exclaimed, “How fortunate!” So she named him Gad. 12 Later, Leah’s servant Zilpah bore a second son for Jacob. 13 She said, “How happy I am, because women will call me happy!” So she named him Asher. Outcome of the Mandrakes found by Reuben 14 Some time later, during the wheat harvest season, Reuben went out and found some mandrakes in the field and brought them back for his mother Leah. Then Rachel told Leah, “Please give me your son’s mandrakes.” 15 In response, Leah asked her, “Wasn’t it enough that you’ve taken away my husband? Now you also want to take my son’s mandrakes!” But Rachel replied, “Okay, let’s let Jacob sleep with you tonight in exchange for your son’s mandrakes.” 16 When Jacob came in from the field that evening, Leah went to meet him and told him, “You’re having sex with me tonight. I traded my son’s mandrakes for you!” So he slept with her that night. 17 God heard what Leah had said, so she conceived and bore a fifth son for Jacob. 18 Then Leah said, “God has paid me for giving my servant to my husband as his wife.” So she named him Issachar. 19 Later, Leah conceived again and bore a sixth son for Jacob. 20 Then Leah said, “God has given me a good gift. This time my husband will exalt me, because I’ve borne him six sons.” So she named him Zebulun. 21 After that, Leah conceived, bore a daughter, and named her Dinah. Rachel’s Son Joseph is Born 22 Then God remembered Rachel. He listened to her and opened her womb, 23 so she conceived, bore a son, and remarked, “God has removed my shame.” 24 Because she had been asking, “May God give me another son,” she named him Joseph.

Christ in the House of Martha and Mary Lazarus was the brother of Martha and Mary . [1] They gave Jesus hospitality in their home at Bethany, a village outside Jerusalem . They are mentioned in several episodes in the Gospels . Jesus is said to have loved all three. According to Luke, Martha was head of the household. It was to her that Jesus said: "I am the Resurrection and the Life." (John 11:1-44). Mary was probably younger. She poured a flask of expensive perfume over Jesus' feet and wiped them with her hair about a week before the crucifixion. Mary was criticized for wasting what might have been sold to raise money for the poor, but Jesus spoke on her behalf. Jesus said, "Leave her alone. She bought it so that she might keep it for the day of my burial. You always have the poor with you, but you do not always have me." (John 12:1-8). Mary is seen as a spiritual woman with a feminist personality. In John's narrative Lazarus never speaks a word. Contents [ show ] Jesus Raises Lazarus Lazarus is very ill so the sisters send word to Jesus: Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. By the time Jesus arrives in the village Lazarus has been dead for four days. [1] Jesus wept seeing Mary's sorrow. He was moved by the sisters' grief to bring Lazarus back from the dead. [1] Then Mary and Martha took Jesus to the tomb where Lazarus' body was. File:Rembrandt The Raising of Lazarus.jpg Jesus told them to take away the big stone that blocked the tomb but Martha said, "Oh no! He has been dead for 4 days. If we roll the stone away it will smell bad!" Jesus said to her: "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?" So someone rolled away the stone. Jesus prayed and thanked God: Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me... and I knew that thou hearest me always; but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. Then he called in a loud voice: "Lazarus, Lazarus, come out!, I command you, come out" and so he did. He walked out with the burial cloth still wrapped around him. Six days before the Passover Jesus came to Bethany. There they gave a dinner for him. Martha served, and Lazarus was one of those at the table with him. On some Calendars Lazarus is remembered on 17 December. In the Roman Catholic Church Saint Lazarus' memorial is also on February 11. Biblical instruction When Jesus comes again, He will resurrect those who loved Him. "All who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out." (John 5:28,29).


Who was the last British king to lead an army into battle?

King George II Was The Last Monarch To Lead His Men Into Battle | Historic Royal Palaces George II made Kensington Palace the centre of his court life George II fell out with both his father and his son He was the last monarch to lead his troops into battle in 1743 at the Battle of Dettingen George II at the palaces As Prince of Wales, George felt that he was unfairly treated by his father – not given enough money and not entrusted with the regency when his father returned to Hanover. Relations between father and son were so sour that George and his wife Caroline were thrown out of court by George I and even, for a time, kept from their own children. In retaliation, they set up their own rival court filled with opposition politicians. History was doomed to repeat itself. After George became King in 1727 (Handel’s Zadok the Priest was composed for his Coronation), George and Caroline’s glamorous son, Prince Frederick, arrived in England and in turn became embroiled in a battle of wills with his parents; he was eventually banished from court in 1737.   In the first ten years of George II’s reign,  Kensington Palace was the glittering centre of court life where politicians, intellectuals and fashionable people vied for favour. George and Caroline used Hampton Court Palace regularly after their accession in 1727, especially during the summer when the palace would be alive with the flirtations, scheming and bickering of courtiers. George II had many mistresses, most notably Henrietta Howard, one of his queen’s closest ladies-in-waiting who were known as Women of the Bedchamber. However, George was devoted to his wife and was devastated by her death in 1737. She had promoted writers, poets and philosophers and court life under her auspices was glamorous and engaging.  After Caroline’s death, the bright and fashionable crowd was gradually replaced by a homely, ageing court residing in Kensington Palace which was by now half shut up and George increasingly focussed on his obsessive love of all things military. Earlier in his reign, George proved himself a good leader in battle and was the last British king to lead his troops into battle. Despite Kensington’s decline, it remained one of George’s favourite palaces right up until his death in 1760.  George II's grandson, George III , was the next monarch after Prince Frederick died in 1751 without ever repairing his relationship with his father.

"In 1542, whose last words were supposedly, ""I die a queen, but I would rather die the wife of Culpepper""?"

13 February 1542 - Catherine Howard and Jane Boleyn, What they Did and Didn't Say - The Anne Boleyn Files February 13, 2014 at 11:25 am I always wonder how much prisoners in their situation actually knew about how their circumstances were developing. In my own research on Katherine and the members of her family imprisoned at this time, I have not been able to find whether she would have been told that Culpeper and Dereham had been killed, or that her step-grandmother and the others from Norfolk House were in the Tower. I wonder whether she, at Syon, and Jane Rochford, with the Russells, had some false sense of security before their final journey to the Tower? Russell would know the law relating to prisoners of unsound mind was being changed to allow for Jane to be executed, but would she have any knowledge of it? February 13, 2014 at 1:09 pm I think Henry VIII caused a special law to be passed allowing the execution of the insane so that Jane Boleyn could be executed. I really didn’t like the way they portrayed the execution in The Tudors, it is well known that when there was more than one victim, they were executed in order of precedence. This is what happened in the case of George Boleyn and the four other men, George went first, and it’s said that his execution was botched, I do hope not!  So Katherine went before Lady Rochford, and as Ottwell Johnston said, she died with some dignity, rather than wetting herself as The Tudors portrayed. February 14, 2014 at 3:33 pm I’d have wet myself if I were walking to the block!!! Katherine Howard, so young and lovely, but naïve in the extreme to have thought a secret dalliance would be possible in the “all eyes and ears” Court. Her Howard relatives who had very little time for her as a child were quite quick off the mark to dangle her in front of Henry VIII, one she’d attained beauty and a woman’s body as a young teen. (!!!) Just a tragedy, all around. There is no hard evidence that Jane Boleyn was the evil, spiteful behind-the-scenes madwoman she’s been portrayed as in historical fiction. Without hard evidence that can’t be refuted, we can’t know her character or mental state. February 17, 2014 at 3:03 pm Quite correct, there is evidence that both ladies died with dignity, even if Lady Rochford was a bit out of it with her insanity, although some sources indicate that she seemed calm at her execution and together as well. But the way if was portrayed in the Tudor’s is more for drama than accuracy; Lady Rochford was actually held back in the house that they were prepared for death at the Tower. When Katherine had died, dignified and seemingly unafraid, although she more likely was but tried not to show it, the block was cleaned, fresh straw replaced the old and the head and body removed from sight. The second victim then went up, Lady Rochford, who made a few short words and then was executed.  Her body was then also removed and the place cleaned up. The victims were not lined up at the Tower green; it was a more formal affair and more dignified. These were people of rank and had a more private execution, although in Queen Anne Boleyn’s case 1000 people had gathered as the doors were left open by mistake. What the Tudor’s portrayed, that of poor Katherine urinating was in poor taste; although it is most possible that as a reaction to fear this would happen, there was no need to show such an undignified thing. It was not mentioned by the sources; good or bad, so I put it down to dramatic license. The Tudors series was a great drama series but it did make things for effect that would have a better place in Game of Thrones. Authors these days love to shock and thrill the audiance and they do not care how they do it. It is a shame as it often detracts from what is otherwise great drama.  Even if this was a normal physical reaction to being faced with terror and death by the axe; the visual picture was not needed thank-you Tudor authors; the acting and the dignity of the Queen was what I wanted to see. Jane Rochford is often shown as being either spiteful or totally sett


If the currency is the Peso, copper the major export and Valparaiso the major port, what is the country?

Chile - Trade and finance | history - geography | Britannica.com Trade and finance Pedro de Valdivia Chile’s principal markets for mining and agricultural commodities are the European Union , the United States, China, Japan, and South Korea . Most imports are from the United States, China, Brazil , Argentina, and Germany. The balance of payments, generally unfavourable since the 1950s because of increased foreign expenditures and payment of external loans, showed occasional improvement after 1976 but with considerable fluctuation. In the early 2000s Chile signed many free-trade agreements, including one with the United States that was implemented in 2004. Nontraditional exports (seafood, fruit, wine, wood products, foodstuffs) also contributed to economic growth in the early 21st century. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. The peso is the national currency of Chile. The Central Bank of Chile, established in 1925, is the official bank of the country; it implements the internal banking policies of the government and also conducts foreign trade. In 1989 the bank became an autonomous institution entirely responsible for the country’s financial and exchange-rate policies. The State Bank of Chile is also a state entity, but it functions as a private commercial bank. National private banks as well as international banks from Europe, the United States, and Asia operate freely in the country. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Within the Chilean economic system there is collaboration between the private and public sectors, with the private sector contributing an increasing percentage of the total annual investment. Private businesses are generally organized as joint-stock companies (similar to U.S. corporations) that participate in all areas of economic activity. Transportation The country’s length and physical barriers constrain communication and traffic flow. Only the sea offers an expeditious means of transportation, which was taken advantage of during the 19th century when Chile owned one of the largest merchant fleets in Latin America. Chile’s overall economic decline during the early 20th century and the supplanting of maritime transport with overland means resulted in the reduction of the fleet. Eventually only international transport was conducted by ship. The main port of entry is Valparaíso. San Antonio , the port for Santiago, exports copper and agricultural commodities. Other ports, such as Antofagasta and Arica, serve the trade with Bolivia. Chañaral, Huasco, Guayacán, and Tocopilla export minerals. The port of Talcahuano serves the industrial complex of Concepción. The development of an overland transportation system began with two railway systems initiated about the turn of the 20th century: the northern network, between La Calera (near Valparaíso) and Iquique, now in disuse, and the southern network, between La Calera and Puerto Montt . The most traveled sections connect Santiago with Valparaíso and Santiago with Puerto Montt; both sections are electrified, making them more competitive with road transportation. The railway system is controlled by the Empresa de los Ferrocarriles del Estado (State Railway Enterprise). International railroads connect Arica and La Paz (Bolivia), Antofagasta and Oruro (Bolivia), and Los Andes and Mendoza (Argentina). A railbus transports passengers over the short route between Arica and Tacna (Peru). Related Places Maule Chile’s rapid motorization has brought enhanced highway transportation for passengers and goods. The backbone of the Chilean road system is the paved Pan-American Highway, which connects Arica with Puerto Montt, near Chiloé Island, a distance of more than 2,100 miles. From this main artery secondary routes connect numerous cities, including Santiago, with the ports of San Antonio and Valparaíso, Bulnes with Concepción, and Los Lagos with Valdivia . The most important international paved road connects Santiago with Mendoza (Argentina). All-weather roads connect Iquique with Oruro (Bolivia), Antofagasta with Salta (Argentina), La Serena with San Juan (Argentina), Osorno with San


What name is given to the first, horseshoe-shaped section of the human intestine?

Small Intestine Home > Digestive System > Digestive System of the Lower Torso > Intestines > Small Intestine Small Intestine The small intestine is a long, highly convoluted tube in the digestive system that absorbs about 90% of the nutrients from the food we eat. It is given the name “small intestine” because it is only 1 inch in diameter, making it less than half the diameter of the large intestine. The small intestine is, however, about twice the length of the large intestine and usually measures about 10 feet in length. The small intestine winds throughout the abdominal cavity inferior to the stomach. Its many folds help it to pack all 10 feet of its length into such a small body cavity.... Move up/down/left/right: Click compass arrows Rotate image: Click and drag in any direction, anywhere in the frame Identify objects: Click on them in the image Change View Angle Full Small Intestine Description [Continued from above] . . . A thin membrane known as the mesentery extends from the posterior body wall of the abdominal cavity to surround the small intestine and anchor it in place. Blood vessels, nerves, and lymphatic vessels pass through the mesentery to support the tissues of the small intestine and transport nutrients from food in the intestines to the rest of the body. The small intestine can be divided into 3 major regions: The duodenum is the first section of intestine that connects to the pyloric sphincter of the stomach. It is the shortest region of the small intestine, measuring only about 10 inches in length. Partially digested food, or chyme, from the stomach is mixed with bile from the liver and pancreatic juice from the pancreas to complete its digestion in the duodenum. The jejunum is the middle section of the small intestine that serves as the primary site of nutrient absorption. It measures around 3 feet in length. The ileum is the final section of the small intestine that empties into the large intestine via the ileocecal sphincter. The ileum is about 6 feet long and completes the absorption of nutrients that were missed in the jejunum. Like the rest of the gastrointestinal tract, the small intestine is made up of four layers of tissue. The mucosa forms the inner layer of epithelial tissue and is specialized for the absorption of nutrients from chyme. Deep to the mucosa is the submucosa layer that provides blood vessels, lymphatic vessels, and nerves to support the mucosa on the surface. Several layers of smooth muscle tissue form the muscularis layer that contracts and moves the small intestines. Finally, the serosa forms the outermost layer of epithelial tissue that is continuous with the mesentery and surrounds the intestines. The interior walls of the small intestine are tightly wrinkled into projections called circular folds that greatly increase their surface area. Microscopic examination of the mucosa reveals that the mucosal cells are organized into finger-like projections known as villi, which further increase the surface area. Each square inch of mucosa contains around 20,000 villi. The cells on the surface of the mucosa also contain finger-like projections of their cell membranes known as microvilli, which further increase the surface area of the small intestine. It is estimated that there are around 130 billion microvilli per square inch in the mucosa of the small intestine. All of these wrinkles and projections help to greatly increase the amount of contact between the cells of the mucosa and chyme to maximize the absorption of vital nutrients. The small intestine processes around 2 gallons of food, liquids, and digestive secretions every day. To ensure that the body receives enough nutrients from its food, the small intestine mixes the chyme using smooth muscle contractions called segmentations. Segmentation involves the mixing of chyme about 7 to 12 times per minute within a short segment of the small intestine so that chyme in the middle of the intestine is moved outward to the intestinal wall and contacts the mucosa. In the duodenum, segmentations help to mix chyme with bile and pancre


Which area of the human tongue is sensitive to sweet taste?

The Tongue and Regions of Taste - How Taste Works | HowStuffWorks The Tongue and Regions of Taste Lionel Bonaventure/AFP/ Getty Images Just as scientists are reexamining the basic tastes, they are also redefining the tongue map. The tongue map breaks the tongue down into regions of sensation -- bitter in the back, sour on the sides, salty on the front edge and sweet at the tip. Umami researchers have claimed that the tongue's posterior is important for detecting the fifth taste. But for everyone who remembers arguing the tongue map as a grade-schooler, insisting they could perceive salt at the back of the tongue or sour at the tip, news that the tongue map is flawed at best must come as sweet vindication. Up Next Break the Cycle of Negative Thinking A German scientist named D.P. Hanig developed the tongue map in 1901 by asking volunteers where they could perceive sensation. Other scientists later corroborated his findings but charted the results in such a way that areas of lowered sensitivity looked like areas of no sensitivity. By 1974, Virginia Collings determined that while the tongue did have varying degrees of sensitivity -- some areas could perceive certain tastes better than others -- there was no real truth to the strict tongue map. Although taste receptors usually react strongly to a single taste, many respond to multiple gustatory stimulations. People can perceive taste anywhere there are taste receptors. Scientists are also learning more about the shocking diversity of taste sensitivity. In the next section we'll learn about an acute sense that you actually might be glad not to have.

In the film 'Die Hard', the last view of which actor, was of him falling from a tower block with a gun in his hand?

Die Hard - Internet Movie Firearms Database - Guns in Movies, TV and Video Games Reginald VelJohnson Die Hard is the 1988 action film starring Bruce Willis as John McClane, an NYPD detective who arrives in Los Angeles on Christmas Eve to visit his estranged wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) during an office party at the business tower where she is a vice president. When terrorists led by Hans Gruber ( Alan Rickman ) seize the tower and hold Holly and 30 others hostage, McClane then finds himself the only one who can thwart the terrorists' plans. The film, which was directed by John McTiernan , spawned four sequels and helped establish Willis as an action movie star. In addition, the basic plot of a single person taking on terrorists while trapped in a confined space would serve as the basis for a great number of action films in the following decades. The following weapons were used in the film Die Hard: Contents WARNING! THIS PAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS! Handguns Beretta 92F The Beretta 92F features prominently in the film as the sidearm of Detective John McClane ( Bruce Willis ). At one point, Hans Gruber ( Alan Rickman ) is seen holding the Beretta. Karl ( Alexander Godunov ) gets ahold of it during a fight near the end of the film as well. Another Beretta can also be seen being carried by one of the SWAT officers involved in the ill-fated raid on the Nakatomi Building. Beretta 92F (9x19mm) used by Bruce Willis in Die Hard. This is the screen-used gun from the film; note the extended mag release and slide release, which were modifications made specifically for Bruce Willis. In the beginning of the movie, a fellow plane passenger cautiously eyes McClane's 92F in his shoulder holster, but McClane assures him he's a cop. John McClane ( Bruce Willis ) holds the Beretta 92F while hiding in the Nakatomi boardroom. McClane draws his Beretta 92F when confronted by Hans Gruber's henchmen in the boardroom. McClane fires over 15 rounds from his Beretta 92F. Two rounds were fired on the terrorist first entering the room, and about 15 were fired through the table. According to the director, the proximity of the gun to Willis' ear during this scene caused permanent hearing loss for Willis. He is also visibly hit in the face by spent casings as he blasts away. A SWAT officer with a Beretta 92F. It's hard to tell, but the trigger guard is squared off, not curved as on a 92SB. McClane loads another mag into his Beretta. McClane pretends to chamber a round into his Beretta. Note his finger is on the slide release so it doesn't lock. Hans Gruber holds Detective John McClane at gunpoint with McClane's own Beretta 92F.

Clearly visible in this image (if enlarged to full-size) is the extended slide release - compare to the picture of the screen-used gun above. Karl goes to grab McClane's Beretta during their fight. "Happy Trails, Hans..." McClane blows away the smoke from the barrel of his 92F. Heckler & Koch P7M13 Hans Gruber ( Alan Rickman ) carries a hard chromed Heckler & Koch P7M13 as his main weapon, notably using it to threaten Joseph Takagi (James Shigeta) and Harry Ellis (Hart Bochner), and then brandishing it at the climax of the film, holding McClane's wife Holly (Bonnie Bedelia) at gunpoint. When he first brings out the weapon while threatening Takagi, he is shown removing a matching suppressor from the barrel, thus indicating it's not a P7M13SD because there is no threaded barrel to use a suppressor. (The threads to attach the suppressor were actually inside the barrel of the gun, as there were no live rounds fired out of it.) According to the script, Hans was supposed to carry a Walther (likely a PPK , but it's not specifically identified) It is assumed that the P7M13 was used in place of this, as it bears resemblance to a Walther PPK, and both firearms are German, like Hans himself.

How many lumber vertebrae are there in the human spine?

Lumbar Vertebrae - Anatomy Pictures and Information Home > Skeletal System > Spine > Lumbar Vertebrae Lumbar Vertebrae The lumbar vertebrae consist of five individual cylindrical bones that form the spine in the lower back. These vertebrae carry all of the upper body’s weight while providing flexibility and movement to the trunk region. They also protect the delicate spinal cord and nerves within their vertebral canal. Found along the body’s midline in the lumbar (lower back) region, the lumbar vertebrae make up the region of the spine inferior to the thoracic vertebrae in the thorax and superior to the sacrum and coccyx in the pelvis.... Move up/down/left/right: Click compass arrows Rotate image: Click and drag in any direction, anywhere in the frame Identify objects: Click on them in the image 2D Interactive 3D Rotate & Zoom Change Anatomical System Vertebra and Spinal Cord, Cross-section Full Lumbar Vertebrae Description [Continued from above] . . . The lumbar vertebrae are stacked to form a continuous column in order from superior (L1 or first lumbar vertebra) to inferior (L5 or fifth lumbar vertebra). Together they create the concave lumbar curvature in the lower back. Connecting each vertebra to its neighboring vertebra is an intervertebral disk made of tough fibrocartilage with a jelly-like center. The outer layer of the intervertebral disk, the annulus fibrosus, holds the vertebrae together and provides strength and flexibility to the back during movement. The jelly-like nucleus pulposus acts as a shock absorber to resist the strain and pressure exerted on the lower back. The lumbar vertebrae are the some of the largest and heaviest vertebrae in the spine, second in size only to the sacrum. A cylinder of bone known as the vertebral body makes up the majority of the lumbar vertebrae’s mass and bears most of the body’s weight. Posteriorly the body is connected to a thin ring of bone known as the arch. The arch surrounds the hollow vertebral foramen and connects the body to the bony processes on the posterior of the vertebra. The vertebral foramen is a large, triangular opening in the center of the vertebra that provides space for the spinal cord, cauda equina, and meninges as they pass through the lower back. Extending from the vertebral arch are several bony processes that are involved in muscle attachment and movement of the lower back. The spinous process extends from the posterior end of the arch as a thin rectangle of bone. It serves as a connection point for the muscles of the back and pelvis, such as the psoas major and interspinales. On the left and right lateral sides of each vertebra are the short, triangular transverse processes. The transverse processes form important connection points for many muscles, including the rotatores and multifidus muscles that extend and rotate the trunk. Unlike the cervical vertebrae in the neck, the lumbar vertebrae lack the transverse foramina in the transverse processes, and also lack facets to either side of the body. The fifth lumbar vertebra is distinct from the L1-4 vertebrae in being much larger on its front side than in the back. Its spinous process, on the other hand, is smaller than in the other lumbar vertebrae with a wide, four-sided shape that comes to a rough edge and a thick notch.

The human spine includes how many cervical vertebrae?

Cervical Spine Anatomy (Neck) - Vertebrae and Cervical Spinal Nerves Cervical Spine Anatomy (Neck) Print The cervical spine (sometimes abbreviated as c-spine in the medical world) begins at the base of the skull. Seven vertebrae make up the cervical spine with eight pairs of cervical nerves. The individual cervical vertebrae are abbreviated C1, C2, C3, C4, C5, C6, and C7. The cervical nerves are also abbreviated; they are C1 through C8. Cervical Vertebrae and Supporting Spinal Structures The cervical bones (the vertebrae) are smaller in size when compared to other spinal vertebrae (in your thoracic or lumbar spines). The purpose of the cervical spine is to contain and protect the spinal cord, support the skull, and enable diverse head movement (eg, rotate side to side, bend forward and backward). A complex system of ligaments, tendons, and muscles help to support and stabilize the cervical spine. Ligaments work to prevent excessive movement that could result in serious injury. Muscles also help to provide spinal balance and stability, and enable movement. Muscles contract and relax in response to nerve impulses originating in the brain. Some muscles work in pairs or as antagonists. This means when a muscle contracts, the opposing muscle relaxes. There are different types of muscle: forward flexors, lateral flexors, rotators, and extensors. Spinal Cord and Cervical Nerve Roots Nerve impulses travel to and from the brain through the spinal cord to a specific location by way of the peripheral nervous system (PNS). The PNS is the complex system of nerves that branch off from the spinal nerve roots. These nerves travel outside of the spinal canal or spinal cord into the organs, arms, legs, fingers—throughout the entire body. Injury or mild trauma to the cervical spine can cause a serious or life-threatening medical emergency (eg, spinal cord injury or a spinal fracture). Pain, numbness, weakness, and tingling are symptoms that may develop when one or more cervical spinal nerves are injured, irritated, or stretched. Because the cervical nerves control many bodily functions and sensory activities, specific symptoms from a cervical spine injury vary depending on which nerves are affected. Below, the parts of the body controlled by cervical nerves are summarized. C1: Head and neck C4: Upper body muscles (eg, deltoids, biceps) C5: Wrist extensors

Much in the news during the 'Falklands Crisis', on which island is Wideawake Airfield?

Falklands War | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Main article: Events leading to the Falklands War In the period leading up to the war, and especially following the transfer of power between military dictators General Jorge Rafael Videla and General Roberto Eduardo Viola in late-March 1981, Argentina had been in the midst of a devastating economic crisis and large-scale civil unrest against the military junta that had been governing the country since 1976. [11] In December 1981 there was a further change in the Argentine military regime bringing to office a new junta headed by General Leopoldo Galtieri (acting president), Brigadier Basilio Lami Dozo and Admiral Jorge Anaya . Anaya was the main architect and supporter of a military solution for the long-standing claim over the islands, [12] calculating that the United Kingdom would never respond militarily. [13] Admiral Jorge Anaya was the driving force in the Junta's decision to invade. [14] [15] [16] In doing so the Galtieri government hoped to mobilise Argentines' long-standing patriotic feelings towards the islands and thus divert public attention from the country's chronic economic problems and the regime's ongoing human rights violations. [17] Such action would also bolster its dwindling legitimacy. The newspaper La Prensa speculated in a step-by-step plan beginning with cutting off supplies to the Islands, ending in direct actions late in 1982, if the UN talks were fruitless. [18] The ongoing tension between the two countries over the islands increased on 19 March when a group of Argentine scrap metal merchants (actually infiltrated by Argentine marines) raised the Argentine flag at South Georgia, an act that would later be seen as the first offensive action in the war. The Royal Navy ice patrol vessel HMS Endurance , was dispatched from Stanley to South Georgia in response, subsequently leading to the invasion of South Georgia by Argentine forces on 3 April. The Argentine military junta, suspecting that the UK would reinforce its South Atlantic Forces, [19] ordered the invasion of the Falkland Islands to be brought forward to 2 April. Britain was initially taken by surprise by the Argentine attack on the South Atlantic islands, despite repeated warnings by Royal Navy captain Nicholas Barker and others. Barker believed that Defence Secretary John Nott 's 1981 review (in which Nott described plans to withdraw the Endurance, Britain's only naval presence in the South Atlantic) sent a signal to the Argentines that Britain was unwilling, and would soon be unable, to defend its territories and subjects in the Falklands. [20] [21] Argentine invasion Main articles: 1982 invasion of the Falkland Islands , Invasion of South Georgia , Argentine air forces in the Falklands War , Argentine naval forces in the Falklands War , and Argentine ground forces in the Falklands War On 2 April 1982, Argentine forces mounted amphibious landings of the Falkland Islands, following the civilian occupation of South Georgia on 19 March, before the Falklands War began. The invasion met a nominal defence organised by the Falkland Islands' Governor Sir Rex Hunt , giving command to Major Mike Norman of the Royal Marines . Events included the landing of Lieutenant Commander Guillermo Sanchez-Sabarots' Amphibious Commandos Group , the attack on Moody Brook barracks, the engagement between the troops of Hugo Santillan and Bill Trollope at Stanley, and the final engagement and surrender at Government House . Initial British response File:The empire strikes back newsweek.jpg Word of the invasion first reached Britain from Argentine sources. [22] A Ministry of Defence operative in London had a short telex conversation with Governor Hunt's telex operator, who confirmed that Argentines were on the island and in control. [22] [23] Later that day, BBC journalist Laurie Margolis was able to speak with an islander at Goose Green via amateur radio, who confirmed the presence of a large Argentine fleet and that Argentine forces had taken control of the island.

Patient discussion about neurologic Q. Migraine stroke Hi, I'm 58 years-old male and I have migraines with aura since age 14. Two weeks ago, I felt weakness in the left side of my body, and at the hospital the doctors told me I had a stroke. I underwent several tests, but they still don't know the cause for the stroke (my lab tests are normal; I don't have diabetes or hypertension). My neurologist said that although it's very rare, he thinks that my stroke was caused by my migraine. I tried to find information about it, but couldn't find much – do you know where I can get some more info? Thanks! A. I supposedly had two strokes that caused one sided weakness and temporary aphasia. The most recent time it happened, I went to a different hospital's ER where their neurologist and stroke specialist told me I have "complex migraines." Apparently this type of migraine can mimic a stroke with all the symptoms. If you look up "complex migraine" at webmd.com or other similar sites, it will give you more informaton. My opinion, for what it's worth, is that I'd rather have a migraine than another stroke since migraines can be treated with preventive meds and/or meds that help the symptoms once it gets started. Q. Could I be going through a Brain aneurysm? i woke up in the night with a bad headache in the back of my head and above my eye. never had a headache like that. but all day today have not had the headache. could this be an aneurysm? A. I had an brain anyuism in 2001. I had a head ache right above my left eye for 10 days. It got worse as the days went by. I went in to the emergency room and they gave me a spinal tap and it ruptured.Thank God that it cloted (that dos'nt happen). But it did and they did emergency surgury. I am alive and back to normal today. My parents both died of brain anyuisms. That is how huretaty starts.

Which branch of the arts was Barbara Hepworth famous for?

Dame Barbara Hepworth | British sculptor | Britannica.com Dame Barbara Hepworth Alternative Title: Dame Jocelyn Barbara Hepworth Dame Barbara Hepworth Eric Gill Dame Barbara Hepworth, in full Dame Jocelyn Barbara Hepworth (born Jan. 10, 1903, Wakefield , Yorkshire, Eng.—died May 20, 1975, St. Ives, Cornwall ), sculptor whose works were among the earliest abstract sculptures produced in England . Her lyrical forms and feeling for material made her one of the most influential sculptors of the mid-20th century. Interview with British sculptor Barbara Hepworth and shots of her nine-work series … Stock footage courtesy The WPA Film Library Fascinated from early childhood with natural forms and textures, Hepworth decided at age 15 to become a sculptor. In 1919 she enrolled in the Leeds School of Art, where she befriended fellow student Henry Moore . Their lifelong friendship and reciprocal influence were important factors in the parallel development of their careers. Hepworth’s earliest works were naturalistic with simplified features. Purely formal elements gradually gained greater importance for her until, by the early 1930s, her sculpture was entirely abstract. Works such as Reclining Figure (1932) resemble rounded biomorphic forms and natural stones; they seem to be the fruit of long weathering instead of the hard work with a chisel they actually represent. In 1933 Hepworth married (her second husband; the first was the sculptor John Skeaping) the English abstract painter Ben Nicholson , under whose influence she began to make severe, geometric pieces with straight edges and immaculate surfaces. As Hepworth’s sculpture matured during the late 1930s and ’40s, she concentrated on the problem of the counterplay between mass and space. Pieces such as Wave (1943–44) became increasingly open, hollowed out, and perforated, so that the interior space is as important as the mass surrounding it. Her practice, increasingly frequent in her mature pieces, of painting the works’ concave interiors further heightened this effect, while she accented and defined the sculptural voids by stretching strings taut across their openings. During the 1950s Hepworth produced an experimental series called Groups, clusters of small anthropomorphic forms in marble so thin that their translucence creates a magical sense of inner life. In the next decade she was commissioned to do a number of sculptures approximately 20 feet (6 metres) high. Among the more successful of her works in this gigantic format is the geometric Four-Square (Walk Through) (1966). Hepworth was made a Dame Commander of the Order of the British Empire in 1965. A Pictorial Autobiography was published in 1970 and reissued in 1993. She died in a fire in her home at St. Ives, Cornwall; her home was preserved as the Barbara Hepworth Home and Sculpture Garden and is run by the Tate St. Ives, a branch of the Tate galleries .

'Chantrelle' and 'Porcini' are both well-known varieties of which foodstuff?

Chanterelles: Information on Famous Gourmet Mushrooms > Chanterelle Mushrooms Chanterelles: Pleasing to the Eye and Taste Buds Chanterelles are some of the most popular edible mushrooms in the world. Known for their unique flavor and beautiful appearance, spotting them in the woods is a special treat for mushroom hunters everywhere. They are mycorrhizal, meaning they form a beneficial, symbiotic relationship with the roots of trees. This makes cultivation very difficult to impossible. Thus most chanterelles, even the ones you find for sale in a store, were picked from the wild. Here you'll find more information on these tasty mushrooms. We'll start with some basic facts , and move on to where to find them . At the end are cooking instructions , including an easy recipe. Worth preparing for your first (or millionth!) chanterelle mushroom experience. For more in-depth information on the identification of these mushrooms, click here.   Basic Facts There are many species of edible chanterelles in the Cantharellus genus. The most well known is Cantharellus cibarius, the golden chanterelle mushroom. Like so many different types of mushrooms, there is now debate over the classification of Cantharellus cibarius. Mycologists now suspect it could actually be made up of a number of different species. For now, Cantharellus cibarius is the most common species name you'll see in North America. Due to their mycorrhizal relationship with trees, you'll only find them growing on the ground, usually near some sort of hardwood (oaks, conifers, etc). These are summer to fall mushrooms. In my area that means they fruit anywhere from June to September. They mainly fruit in North American and North Europe, however they are also found in Asia, Mexico, and Africa. Caps are usually convex to vase-shaped, with a yellow to yellow-orange color. Their stems are smooth, not hollow, and the same color as the cap. They contain vitamin C as well as a high amount of carotene. High carotene levels play in part in their distinctive orange-yellow color. Fascinating research is being done regarding the insecticidal properties of chanterelles. These properties seem to be the reason that chanterelles resist rot and bugs better than many other wild mushrooms. Finding Chanterelles   To experience the distinctive flavor of these gourmet mushrooms, you'll have to either hunt for them in the woods or buy them from a store. When purchasing, make sure they're clean, dry, and have a light fruity odor. Don't buy anything that looks old, wet, mushy, or has a funny smell. You'll find them for sale in gourmet or natural food stores. Dried mushrooms are available for purchase as well. To reconstitute, simply soak them in warm water for 30 minutes or add them to a recipe with simmering liquids in the last 10-15 minutes. As these mushrooms are mycorrhizal and haven't been mass cultivated successfully yet, buying them will always be a little pricey. But if you live in the right area, you may be able to find some for free! If you decide to go chanterelle mushroom hunting, take the time to learn about proper identification. There are false look-alikes that can make you sick, so make sure you consult an expert after your first few times out. I've written a more thorough page on the identification of chanterelle mushrooms here . Some basic things to keep in mind: Look for the presence of false gills. These are interlaced wrinkles on the underside of the cap (see above picture). Unlike the true gills of a button mushrooms from the grocery store, they cannot be easily removed. They grow on the ground, near hardwoods such as oaks and conifers. Appear mid-summer to fall. Click here for more identification information. Start learning how to find your own chanterelles! A final word on mushroom hunting: chanterelles are extremely popular and many believe they are being over-hunted. Please respect your natural area and only hunt what you can eat, making sure to leave some so they can drop their spores and give the organism a better chance for reproduction.   Once you've acquired some mu


Who played 'Olive Oyl' in the 1980 film 'Popeye'?

Watch Popeye Online | 1980 Movie | Yidio Watch Popeye "The sailor man with the spinach can!" Popeye was a risk taking movie in 1980. It turned the very popular Popeye comic strip from E. C. Segar into a musical film. This came from the mind of Robert Altman, but it came to life because of Robin Williams and Shelly Duvall playing the lead characters so well. Each played Popeye and his girl Olive Oyl respectively in the motion picture. Popeye is the story of a sailor man who loves his spinach. He finds himself a stranger in the harbor town of Sweethaven, where he has rowed by dingy to shore. Most of Sweethaven's residents find him suspicious, but luckily this is untrue of the Oyl family. They offer Popeye a place to stay, and while at the Oyl family boarding house, Popeye falls in love. The girl who won his heart is the Oyl's daughter, Olive. Unfortunately Olive Oyl is already promised to marry a big brute of a man named Captain Bluto. This causes Popeye and Bluto to immediately become enemies. Their dislike brings them to blows and continuous competition for the love of Olive Oyl. Popeye is frustrated by not only this, but other concerns, such as finding his missing father. Popeye is a film with many layers, but perhaps the strongest message throughout the film tells us about the value of true friendship. Popeye has two main friends, Wimpy and little Swee'Pea. Neither one is as strong as Popeye, yet their loyalty to their sailor friend is there through anything. Which is why, the kidnapping of Swee'Pea by Bluto sets Popeye off, and it is his turn to teach some lessons to the Captain about sailors and their love of spinach. The movie Popeye has anything and everything to offer the audience. It is as classic today, as it was decades ago when released. Anyone who has not seen it, be sure to put it on your honey do list, pack your sailor bags, and your sea legs.
