England's first road congestion charge was introduced in 2002, in which city?

London congestion charge | UK Transport Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Template:Politics of London The London congestion charge is a fee for motorists traveling within the Congestion Charge Zone (CCZ), a traffic area in London . The charge aims to reduce congestion, and raise investment funds for London's transport system. The zone was introduced in Central London on 17 February 2003, and extended into parts of west London on 19 February 2007. Though not the first scheme of its kind in the United Kingdom , it was the largest when introduced, and it remains one of the largest in the world. Several cities around the world have referenced London's congestion charge when considering their own schemes. A payment of £ 8 is required each day for each vehicle which travels within the zone between 7am and 6pm (Monday-Friday only); a fine of between £60 and £180 is levied for non-payment. Transport for London (TfL) administers the charge; Capita Group operated it under contract until 31 October 2009, IBM took over on 1 November 2009. The system is mostly run on an automatic basis using Automatic Number Plate Recognition . From 4 January 2011 several changes will be implemented based on the public consultation conducted in 2008, which include the removal of the Western Extension, a charge increase, and the introduction of an automated payment system. [1] Contents Edit The boundary of the zone, as of 19 February 2007, starts at the northern end of Vauxhall Bridge and (travelling in a clockwise direction) heads along the northern bank of the River Thames as Grosvenor Road, the Chelsea Embankment and Cheyne Walk . From there, it heads north, along the eastern edges of the Kensington and Earl's Court one-way systems, part of the A3220 , with the roads in between charged, before continuing to the A40 Westway as the Holland Road and the West Cross Route . The boundary then includes parts of North Kensington , but the actual boundary is defined by the West London Line railway track, which runs between Latimer Road (inside the zone) and Wood Lane (outside the zone), until Scrubs Lane, before turning east, following the Great Western Main Line out of Paddington towards Ladbroke Grove . Here, the boundary follows the Grand Union Canal and rejoins the existing zone at Edgware Road after skirting Paddington , by way of the Bishop's Bridge Road, Eastbourne Terrace, Praed Street and Sussex Gardens. [2] The Western Extension will be formally removed from the charging zone beginning 4 January 2011, but charging on the Western extension effectively ends on 24 December 2010. [1] TfL has defined some free through routes, where drivers do not have to pay the charge. The main route is defined by the western boundary of the original zone Vauxhall Bridge Road , Grosvenor Place , Park Lane and Edgware Road , with some additions around Victoria . The Westway is the other exempt route. [3] Original area covered File:London congestion charge zone.png The original boundary of the zone (17 February 2003 – 18 February 2007) was largely the London Inner Ring Road . Starting at the northernmost point and moving clockwise, the major roads defining the boundary were Pentonville Road , City Road , Old Street , Commercial Street , Mansell Street , Tower Bridge Road , New Kent Road , Elephant and Castle , Vauxhall Bridge Road , Park Lane , Edgware Road , Marylebone Road and Euston Road (other roads filled the small gaps between these roads). The zone therefore included the whole of the City of London , the financial district, and the West End , London's primary commercial and entertainment centre. [4] There were 136,000 residents living within the zone (of a total population of around 7,000,000 in Greater London ), though the zone was primarily thought of (and zoned) as commercial rather than residential. There was little heavy industry within the zone. Signs were erected and symbols painted on the road to help drivers recognise the congestion charge area. [5] Payment and concessions Edit As of 4 July 2005, the non-discounted daily charge for non-exempt vehicles is


In 1975, which was the first city in the world to introduce congestion charges?

Fair tolling | International Examples | Transportation Alternatives London | Stockholm | Singapore London No other city in the world more closely mirrors New York in population, economic makeup and transportation than London. Before instituting fair tolling in 2003, London was afflicted by many of the problems facing New York today: gridlock, poor air quality, hazardous streets and a transportation system that lacked the investment necessary to accommodate growth. London suffered the worst traffic congestion in the United Kingdom; drivers in central London spent 50% of their time idling in traffic. Despite these problems, Mayor Ken Livingstone's fair tolling proposal was initially met with skepticism from many quarters. All that has changed. Since the inception of $13 charge in 2003, traffic delays in the Congestion Zone have dropped by 26%. Bus service has become dramatically faster and more reliable, while bicycling rates have skyrocketed. The charge has resulted in a substantial improvement in what was once the UK's most polluted air. Nitrogen Oxides and particulate matter have dropped sharply, while CO2 emissions are down 15%. Meanwhile, the feared drop in business within the Congestion Zone never materialized. The impact of the charge has been broadly neutral with respect to citywide employment, number of businesses, turnover, commercial rents and profitability all remaining stable. London now leads the UK in economic growth. Two-thirds of Londoners now approve of the congestion charge, and it is slated for expansion into west London. Read more about London's congestion charge here . Stockholm Stockholm initiated a pilot fair tolling project for seven months between January and July 2006. As with London, the project was preceded by transportation improvements including 197 new buses, 16 new bus lines and more trains at peak periods. The congestion charge resulted in a 20% reduction in traffic, while air pollutants dropped roughly 10%. The charge was heavily contested at its outset, but public opinion gradually veered in its favor. The issue was put before voters in a referendum, and 51.7%.voted to reinstate the charge. It will take effect in July 2007. Read more about Stockholm's congestion charge here . Singapore Singapore was the first city to implement a cordon-based congestion pricing system in 1975. The charging area is much smaller than that of London and is divided into central business districts and expressways/outer ring roads. An ERP (Electronic Road Pricing) system introduced in 1998 now charges for different roads at different times automatically as vehicle passes under gantries. The charge has been successful in reducing the number of solo drivers and shifting trips from peak to non-peak times. Singapore's Congestion Zone has seen a 13% reduction of traffic during charging period. It has also led to a reduction of 24,700 cars driving during peak and a 22% rise of traffic speeds.

The famous bridge at Avignon spans which river?

Finally Dancing on the Bridge in Avignon, France Finally Dancing on the Bridge in Avignon, France August 12, 2012 / By Matt Long When I first started French lessons in middle school, my instructor taught us a popular French folk song, “Sur le pont d’Avignon” or “On the Bridge in Avignon.” According to the song “On the bridge in Avignon, we all dance, again and again.” I don’t know why, but this common and somewhat annoying song has always stuck with me and when I learned I would be visiting Avignon, I wanted to do nothing more than see this damnable bridge for myself. I had a guide for my short visit in Avignon, Dutch by birth but French by choice. She loved her city and was eager to show me as much of this large, wealthy and beautiful city in southern France during the day I had there. As we toured the famous and massive Pope’s Palace, I couldn’t concentrate on the history or the old rooms. Instead all I could think about was the bridge, THE BRIDGE. It had to be close by, I could almost feel it calling me. In my head I always envisioned a foot bridge of sorts, I have no idea why. I’d never actually researched the bridge before, so all I had to go on was just an initial impression formed when I was thirteen years old. Finally we exited the honestly lovely palace, crossed a park and walked by an overlook point when I caught something out of the corner of my eye. I walked over and saw a bridge, but only half of one. This strange looking bridge only extended partway over the Rhône River, stopping for no apparent reason other than laziness it seemed. My guide leaned over and whispered, “That is THE bridge.” So it wasn’t a foot bridge after all, it was a real, honest to goodness large bridge, except the aforementioned not going anywhere part. Turns out there is a real reason for that other than the ones I was busy making up in the head. Not surprisingly, the bridge did at one point actually span the river. It was originally built in the 12th century and was built up over time. But floods plagued the bridge and after one particularly catastrophic flood the city gave up trying to rebuild the massive structure. In medieval times there were also shops and restaurants under the land based spans of the bridge, which is where the song’s inspiration originated. People didn’t dance on top of the bridge per se, but they absolutely had festive times amongst the bars and markets under it. I walked down the pathway and excitedly stepped across onto this famous bridge. I wasn’t the only one who looked charmed by the bridge, it appears that people from around the world have also been taught this globally famous song. Chinese, Italian, American, we were all there wistfully traversing the bridge, with vacant looks, obviously thinking about our middle school years. I didn’t spend a lot of time on the bridge. After all, it is a half finished bridge in the middle of a large, southern French city. But as I left I wandered if it was worth it. Was finally doing a jig on the bridge in Avignon satisfy more than twenty years of pining? Sure, of course it did, because that song brought me to Avignon and while the bridge may not be all that interesting, the city in which it so dutifully sits is one of the true treasures of France. Is there a place you’re inspired to visit because of a less than original reason?


The Barry Burn is on which famous Scottish golf course?

Carnoustie Golf Club, Carnoustie, Scotland TYPE: Links What can you say about the "Beast" that is        Carnoustie Golf Links? Whether it is praise or blame that you seek        to apportion, the names of Robertson, Morris and Braid are those        in question. Though records speak about golf or "gowff" to be more        specific, being played in the area as far back as 1520, the present        course was moulded by successive architects over the years since        the initial ten holes were laid out in 1842. Whilst        there may be little dramatic background scenery, the beauty of Carnoustie        is to be found in the golf course itself. The layout is such that        no two consecutive holes face the same direction, a factor that        does nothing for the golfer in finding their rhythm in the face        of often-stiff winds. Carnoustie's famous burns that snake their        way around the course - Jockie's Burn and the Barry Burn represent        two more obstacles to posting a respectable tally. Regarded by many including Walter Hagen and Gary Player as one of        the best links in the world, Carnoustie, though certainly long,        is not a course for the unthinking big-hitter. With judgement of        wind and distance critical, every tee shot needs careful placement        to set up an approach to the green. After 15 grueling but majestic        holes, the virgin player is still unprepared for the "toughest        finish in golf". If you par the last three holes, you will invariably        walk from the 18th green with your head held high - if not, as Jean        Van de Velde found to his eternal cost, you may just lose the money. Given its quality, it is difficult to comprehend why this links        lay virtually undiscovered for so long and why it took until 1931        for it to host its first British Open. Since then, this great links        has hosted the Open on six occasions, its array of champions including        Armour, Cotton, Hogan, Player, Watson and Lawrie, fittingly bearing        testament to the toughness of Carnoustie.

What is lacking by definition in an anhydrous substance?

anhydrous - definition - What is ? What is ? anhydrous definition : anhydrous A substance is anhydrous if it contains no water, for example, salts lacking their water of crystallisation. The way of achieving the anhydrous form differs from one substance to another. ==Solvents== In many cases, the presence of water can prevent a reaction from happening, or it can cause undesirable products to form. To prevent this, anhydrous solvents must be used when performing certain reactions. Examples of reactions requiring the use of anhydrous solvents are the Grignard reaction and the Wurtz reaction. Solvents are commonly rendered anhydrous by boiling them in the presence of a hygroscopic substance; metallic sodium is one of the most common metals used. Other methods include the addition of molecular sieves or alkali bases such as potassium hydroxide or barium oxide. Column solvent purification devices (generally referred to as Grubb's columns) recently became available, reducing the hazards (water reactive substances, heat) from the classical dehydrating methods. ==Gases== Several substances that exist as gases at standard conditions of temperature and pressure are commonly used as concentrated aqueous solutions. To clarify that it is the gaseous form that is being referred to, the term anhydrous is prefixed to the name of the substance: * gaseous ammonia is generally referred to as anhydrous ammonia to distinguish it from household ammonia, which is an ammonium hydroxide aqueous solution * gaseous hydrogen chloride is generally referred to as anhydrous to distinguish it from the more commonly used 37% w/w solution in water ==See also== * Air-free technique


Cape Trafalgar is situated in which Spanish province?

Learn and talk about Cape Trafalgar, Geography of the Province of Cádiz, Headlands of Spain, Shipping Forecast areas This article is about a geographic region in Spain. For the German ship of the same name, see SMS Cap Trafalgar . Cape Trafalgar Cape Trafalgar ( /trəˈfælɡər/ ; [1] Spanish : Cabo Trafalgar [ˈkaβo tɾafalˈɣaɾ] , Arabic : رأس طرف الغرب) is a headland in the Province of Cádiz in the south-west of Spain . The 1805 naval Battle of Trafalgar , in which the Royal Navy decisively defeated Napoleon 's combined Spanish and French fleet, took place off the cape. It lies on the shore of the Atlantic Ocean , northwest of the Strait of Gibraltar at 36°10'58"N, 6°2'2"W. The International Hydrographic Organization defines the Western limit of the strait and the Mediterranean Sea as a line that joins Cape Trafalgar to the North to Cape Spartel to the south. The most prominent structure on the cape is a 34-metre-high lighthouse (51 metres above sea level), the faro de Cabo Trafalgar, built in 1860. Etymology[ edit ] The name is of Arabic origin, Taraf al-Ghar (طرف الغار 'cape of the cave/laurel'). [2] [3] [4] Or corresponding possibly to Taraf al-Gharb (طرف الغرب 'cape of the west') [5] [4] In both cases, taraf (طرف) literally means 'edge' or 'extremity' [6] and hence refers to a promontory (edge of the land). In modern Arabic, however, the place is sometimes re-transcribed as al-Taraf al-Aghar (الطرف الأغر). [7]


In 1986 which mountaineer became the first to climb all 14 peaks over 8000 metre above sea level?

The 14 Highest Mountains in the World Share By Stewart Green The world’s 14 highest mountains are an exclusive club of peaks whose summits tower more than 8,000 meters (26,247 feet) above sea level. These mountains, besides their highest main summit, also have 22 subsidiary summits , many of which have not been climbed. The Eight Thousanders all lie in the lofty Himalayan and Karakoram ranges in central Asia. Annapurna and Everest The first 8,000-meter peak climbed was Annapurna , the tenth highest peak, by French mountaineers Maurice Herzog and Louis Lachenal, who reached the summit on June 3, 1950. Herzog went on to write Annapurna , a best-selling but controversial account of the ascent . Sir Edmund Hillary from New Zealand and Sherpa Tenzing Norgay were the first to stand atop Mount Everest , the roof of the world, on May 29, 1953. The Ultimate Climbing Challenge Climbing all 14 of the 8,000-meter peaks is a formidable challenge, undoubtedly one of the most difficult human endeavors possible. It would be easier and, of course, much safer to win a Super Bowl or Stanley Cup or even a golf Grand Slam. continue reading below our video How to Throw a Perfect Curve Ball in Baseball As of 2007, only 15 climbers have successful climbed and descended all the 8,000-meter peaks. Reinhold Messner , the great Italian mountaineer and perhaps the greatest of all Himalayan climbers, was the first person to climb all 14 peaks. He completed the task in 1986 at age 42, taking 16 years. The next year Polish climber Jerzy Kukuczka was the second, taking only eight years. The first American to climb them all is Ed Viesturs, who completed his quest in 2005.

Though such plenaries existed in the ninth century, the extant manuscript copies are not older than the eleventh. Later in the Middle Ages the plenaries were translated into German with various additions explanatory of the mass. The name was likewise applied to lectionaries containing the epistles and Gospels for Sundays and feasts, with glosses or poatila on the Gospels; and the plenariea came to be called simply Gospel books or postils. With the Reformation the plenary vanished, none being known to have been issued after 1521. (P. Dx>;ws.) BIBLIOGRAPHY: J. Alaog, in Fresburper Disceaan Archiv, viii (1874), 255 sqq.; M. F. A. G.

The Cumberland Gap is a pass in which US mountain range?

The Cumberland Gap: America’s First Gateway to the West Cumberland Gap The Cumberland Gap: America’s First Gateway to the West American frontiersman Daniel Boone (1734 - 1820), who led the first settlers to Kentucky and founded the town of Boonesborough and marked the Cumberland Gap trail.  Getty Images By  Erin Mahaney Updated January 21, 2016. The Cumberland Gap is a V-shaped passage through the Appalachian Mountains at the intersection of Kentucky, Virginia and Tennessee. Aided by continental shifts, a meteorite impact and flowing water, the Cumberland Gap region has become a visual marvel, and a timeless asset to human and animal migration. Today, the Cumberland Gap National Historic Park acts as a preserve for this historic gateway.   Geologic History of Cumberland Gap Beginning over 300 million years ago, geologic processes built the Appalachian Mountains, and later carved through them a passage. The collision of the European and North American continental plates forced present day North America below sea level . The remains of water dwelling creatures settled and formed limestone rock, later overlain by shale and sandstone, providing the groundwork for a pending mountain range. Roughly 100 million years later, North America collided with Africa, causing the young pliable rock to fold and uplift. continue reading below our video 4 Tips for Improving Test Performance This collision resulted in the rippled and crumpled appearance of the United States eastern seaboard, now known as the Appalachian Mountains. It is widely accepted that the Cumberland Gap in Appalachia was formed by flowing water during the continental plate collisions. A recent theory belonging to historical geographer Barry Vann suggests a more complex narrative. Running water did indeed have a role in forming the gap, but science indicates its creation was aided by an impact from outer space. The Cumberland Gap is a passageway running through Cumberland Mountain at the Virginia-Kentucky border. Lying south of the Middlesboro Basin in Kentucky, geologists have found evidence of an ancient meteor crater adjacent to the Cumberland Gap. Creating the now hidden Middlesboro Crater, this violent impact excavated portions of loose soil and rock from nearby mountains. This shaped the passage and allowed water to flow through, helping carve the Cumberland Gap into what it is today.   An American Gateway The Appalachian Mountains have long been an obstacle in animal migration, and American westward expansion. It is reported that there are only three natural pathways through the treacherous valleys and ridges, one being the Cumberland Gap. During the last ice age, herds of animals in search of food and warmth used this passage to migrate south. The trail became an asset to Native American groups as well, assisting them during times of war and westward migration. With time and European influence, this rustic footpath became a refined road. During the 1600s, European hunters spread word about a notch cutting through the mountains. In 1750, physician and explorer Thomas Walker encountered this Appalachian wonder. After exploring a nearby cavern, he referred to it as “Cave Gap”. He came upon a river just north of the gap and named it “Cumberland” after the Duke of Cumberland, son of King George II. The Cumberland Gap passage was named after Walker’s Cumberland River. In 1775, Daniel Boone and a party of woodsmen were the first to mark the Cumberland Gap trail, as they traveled from Virginia to Kentucky. After the passage gained a steady stream of settlers, the state of Kentucky was admitted into the Union. Up until 1810, the Cumberland Gap was known as “the way West”. Between the 18th and 19th centuries it served as a travel corridor for over 200,000 migrants. The Cumberland Gap remained a major route for travel and trade during the 20th century.   Cumberland Gap 21st Century Operation In 1980, engineers began a seventeen-year feat at the Cumberland Gap.

In the Bible who was the father of the disciples James and John?

James and John (bo-an-erg-es'); sons of commotion. (uproar-agitation-disturbance) Thunder-to roar (noisy display-discord-friction) Mark 10:35-38 And James and John, the sons of Zebedee, come unto him, saying, Master,   we would that thou shouldest do for us whatsoever we shall desire. And he said unto them,   What would ye that I should do for you? They said unto him, Grant unto us that we may sit,   one on thy right hand, and the other on thy left hand, in thy glory. But Jesus said unto   them, Ye know not what ye ask: can ye drink of the cup that I drink of? and be baptized   with the baptism that I am baptized with? Mark 10:41 And when the ten heard it, they began to be much displeased with James and   John. Jesus told these two nervy-rude-impolite apostles of His, "Ye know not what ye   ask". You don't know what you're talking about". Luke 9:52-55 And sent messengers before his face: and they went, and entered into a   village of the Samaritans, to make ready for him. And they did not receive him, because   his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. And when his disciples James and John saw   this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and   consume them, even as Elias did? But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not   what manner of spirit ye are of. Face- A rrival. Jesus sent messengers before he arrived at villages on the way to   Jerusalem, to acquire provisions and maybe a place to stay the night .The Samaritans could   tell his face (direction ) was Jerusalem, and Jews had no dealings with Samaritans. John 4:9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto him, How is it that thou, being a Jew,   askest drink of me, which am a woman of Samaria? for the Jews have no dealings with the   Samaritans. Anyway-Jesus answers these hotheaded loudmouths, James & John. He says. "Ye   know not what manner of spirit ye are of". You don't know what you're talking   about. When Jesus asked James and John,"can ye drink of the cup that I drink of?   and be baptized with the baptism that I am baptized with?", they answered and said "We can" and Jesus said indeed you will (Mark 10:39) . In Gethsemane, Jesus   spoke of his death as a "cup" Mark 14:36 And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. The term "baptism" is a figure for suffering and death. Luke 12:50 But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened (afflicted-   constrained- endangered) till it be accomplished! Acts 12:1-2 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain   of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. The apostle James said he could drink of the cup and he was the first to die, as is   recorded in the Bible. The apostle John wrote the Gospel of John and three Epistles. I John, II John and III   John, AND the book of Revelation. It is of John that the Bible says. John 13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus' bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus   loved. John 20:2 Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom   Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and   we know not where they have laid him. John 21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord.   Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher's coat unto him, (for   he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea. John 21:20 Then Peter, turning about, seeth the disciple whom Jesus loved following;   which also leaned on his breast at supper, and said, Lord, which is he that betrayeth   thee? John 21:21-24 Peter seeing him saith to Jesus, Lord, and what shall this man do? Jesus saith unto him, If I will that he tarry till I come, what is that to thee? follow   thou me. Then went this saying abroad among the brethren, that that disciple should not   die: yet Jesus said not unto him, He shall not die; but, If I w


Which SS officer was nicknamed 'the Angel of Death'?

Josef Mengele Facts - Auschwitz "Angel of Death" Doctor 3.  Mengele was a War Hero Mengele was a dedicated Nazi and joined the SS around the same time he earned his medical degree. When World War Two broke out, he was sent to the eastern front as an officer to fight the Soviets. He earned an Iron Cross Second Class for bravery in combat in the Ukraine in 1941. In 1942, he saved two German soldiers from a burning tank. This action earned him the Iron Cross First Class and a handful of other medals. Wounded in action, he was declared unfit for active duty and sent back to Germany. More » Mengele and other Nazis. Photographer Unknown 4.  He was not in charge of Auschwitz One common misconception of Mengele is that he was in charge of the Auschwitz death camp . This is not the case: he was actually one of several SS doctors assigned there. He had a great deal of autonomy there, however, because he was working under a sort of grant given to him by the government to study genetics and diseases. His status as a war hero and prestigious academic also gave him a stature not shared by the other doctors. When it was all put together, Mengele had a great deal of freedom to conduct his ghoulish experiments as he saw fit. The Liberation of Auschwitz. Photographer Unknown 7.  Mengele Escaped to Argentina In 1945, as the Soviets moved eastward, it became apparent that the Germans would be defeated. By the time Auschwitz was liberated on January 27, 1945, Dr. Mengele and the other SS officers were long gone. He hid out in Germany for a while, finding work as a farm laborer under an assumed name. It wasn’t long before his name began appearing on lists of most-wanted war criminals and in 1949 he decided to follow many of his fellow Nazis to Argentina . He was put in contact with Argentine agents, who aided him with necessary papers and permits. More » Mengele on a Bicycle. Photogrpher Unknown 8.  At First, His Life in Argentina wasn't bad Mengele found a warm reception in Argentina. Many former Nazis and old friends were there, and the Juan Domingo Perón regime was friendly to them. Mengele even met President Perón on more than one occasion. Josef's father Karl had business contacts in Argentina, and Josef found that his father's prestige rubbed off on him a bit (his father's money didn't hurt, either). He moved in high circles and although he often used an assumed name, everyone in the Argentine German community knew who he was. It was only after Perón was deposed and his father died that Josef was forced to go back underground. Adolf Eichmann on Trial. Photographer Unknown 9.  He was the World's Most-Wanted Nazi Most of the most notorious Nazis had been captured by the Allies and were tried at the Nuremburg Trials. Many mid-level Nazis escaped, and with them a handful of serious war criminals. After the war, Jewish Nazi hunters began tracking these men down in order to bring them to justice. By 1950, two names were at the top of every Nazi hunter's wish list: Mengele and Adolf Eichmann , the bureaucrat who had overseen the logistics of sending millions to their deaths. Eichmann was snatched off a Buenos Aires street by a team of Mossad agents in 1960: the team had been actively looking for Mengele, too. Once Eichmann was tried and hanged, Mengele stood alone as the most-wanted former Nazi. Dr. Josef Mengele. Photographer Unknown 10.  His Life was Nothing Like the Legends Because this murderous Nazi had evaded capture for so long, a legend grew around him. There were unconfirmed Mengele sightings everywhere from Argentina to Peru and several innocent men with a passing resemblance to the fugitive were harassed or questioned. According to some, he was hiding in a jungle laboratory in Paraguay, under the protection of President Alfredo Stroessner, surrounded by former Nazi colleagues and bodyguards, perfecting his idea of the master race. The truth was completely different. He lived his final years in poverty, moving around in Paraguay and Brazil, staying with isolated families where he frequently wore out his welcome due to his acrimonious


The story behind the song: Moon River - Telegraph The story behind the song: Moon River Charm: Audrey Hepburn sang Moon River in Breakfast at Tiffany's  12:01AM BST 07 Oct 2008 The second in a four-part series looking at the origins of some of the world's most popular melodies Was there ever a real Holly Golightly? Apparently, yes. American Dorian Leigh Parker started modelling in the 1940s at the late age of 27 but, with a face that was classically-boned, eyes of hypnotic blue and an air of feminine mystery, she quickly became the most famous model in the world. During her long life of more than eight decades, Dorian Leigh (who dropped her surname when she first started modelling) had several husbands and a legion of A-list affairs. Truman Capote became fascinated with her, and was a frequent visitor to her New York apartment. The story behind the song: Happy Birthday He learned to gain entry through the fire escape, and she would come home to find him playing with her cats. Capote coined a nickname for her, "Happygo- lucky", and inside his head a character began to form – a woman with a more than liberal take on the rules of life. Thus was born one of the memorable characters of 20th-century fiction, Holly Golightly. She was introduced to readers when Capote's Breakfast at Tiffany's was published in 1958. It was a remarkable book, and risqué for the 1950s: Holly has no compunction about mentioning her adventures in bed, she accepts that black men can be attractive, and lacks any guilt about stealing a friend's man. Word spread very quickly that Holly was directly based on Dorian Leigh. Work soon began on the movie, which was released in 1961. Capote wanted Marilyn Monroe to play Holly Golightly. But he was overruled by executives at Paramount, who contracted Audrey Hepburn. Initially dissatisfied with the leading lady, Capote was even more horrified at changes made in his story – the whitewashing of Holly's moral freedoms, and particularly the ending, where Holly was persuaded to remain in New York. But nobody had any complaints about the choice of the movie's composer and lyricist. Henry Mancini and Johnny Mercer had impeccable track records. The former had been responsible for the Pink Panther theme, the latter had provided the words for Hooray for Hollywood, One for My Baby and a dozen others. Mancini and Mercer were eventually awarded four Oscars each, including one, in 1962, for best movie song with Moon River, from Breakfast at Tiffany's. Audrey Hepburn's singing voice was threadlike, and extremely limited in range, though always in tune. But Mercer faced some obstacles in getting to a final concept of a song for her. He had grown up in Savannah, Georgia and, with memories of its waterways, started a song called Blue River, but discovered that the title was already in use. He tried using the opening words "I'm Holly" but discarded that as banal. Mancini took a month to compose exactly the right melody to suit the waif-like good-time girl. In the movie, Hepburn sang the song herself, sitting with a guitar on the fire escape of a New York apartment, and the result was charming. Mancini later reported that after the very first preview screening of the film, the president of Paramount Pictures puffed a cigar and announced that the song had to be removed. The normally gentle Hepburn told him firmly that it would be over her dead body. In spite of the movie's success, Paramount still seemed cagey about the actress's singing and on the "soundtrack" album, her simple vocal-plus-guitar was replaced by a sweeping Mancini orchestral version. But, with or without Hepburn, the song soared in popularity. In the first flush of its release, more than a million copies of the sheet music were sold. Andy Williams's recording and subsequent performances became one of his biggest hits and the song title became the name of his own theatre in Missouri, which also features a Moon River Grill. Five hundred other known recorded versions exist, including those of Frank Sinatra, Louis Armstrong, Judy Garland, Sarah Vaughan and Sarah Brightm


Where in the human body are the deltoid muscles?

Deltoid Muscle Origin, Function & Area | Body Maps Your message has been sent. OK We're sorry, an error occurred. We are unable to collect your feedback at this time. However, your feedback is important to us. Please try again later. Close Deltoid The deltoid muscle is located on the outer aspect of the shoulder and is recognized by its triangular shape. The deltoid muscle was named after the Greek letter Delta due to the similar shape they both share. The deltoid muscle is constructed with three main sets of fibers: anterior, middle, and posterior. These fibers are connected by a very thick tendon and are anchored into a V-shaped channel. This channel housed in the shaft of the humerus bone in the arm. The deltoid muscle is responsible for the brunt of all arm rotation and allows a person to keep carried objects at a safer distance from the body. It is also tasked with stopping dislocation and injury to the humerus when carrying heavy loads. One of the most common injuries to the deltoid muscle is a deltoid strain. Deltoid strain is characterized by sudden and sharp pain where injured, intense soreness and pain when lifting the arm out from the side of the body, and tenderness and swelling caused by (and located at) the deltoid muscle.


In which country was the West Indian cricket captain Sir Vivian Richards born?

Viv Richards: A Look Back Love > Features > Sir Viv Richards Sir Vivian Richards: A look back Looking back with fondness at his early career, Sir Richards remembers as young man, being filled with confidence and pride for playing one’s country. Sir Vivian Richards, former West Indies Captain, discusses his start in cricket. His father, who played for Antigua and Barbuda, encouraged him, and his four brothers, in the sport. He recalls using his father’s bat and pads, even though oversized at the time, as his opportunity to fiddle around and start in the game of cricket. Looking back with fondness at his early career, Sir Richards remembers as young man, being filled with confidence and pride for playing one’s country. He recalls his first match with great clarity and a bit of disappointment. Richards made his Test match debut for the West Indian cricket team in 1974 against India in Bangalore. He made an unbeaten 192 in the second Test of the same series in New Delhi. The West Indies saw him as a strong opener and he kept his profile up in the early years of his promising career. Apart from his very exciting style of play, Richards is held in great public esteem for his personal principles in refusing a "blank-cheque" offer to play for a rebel West Indies squad in South Africa during the Apartheid era in 1983, and again in 1984. Richards was voted one of the five Cricketers of the Century in 2000, by a 100-member panel of experts, along with Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Garfield Sobers, Sir Jack Hobbs and Shane Warne.     Sir Viv Richard: A Look at a Legend Sir Viv Richards relives his highest test score and being on 200 overnight. He answers the questions about pressure and expectations, stating it's a hard task to remain on top. Richards was a very powerful right-handed batsman with an extremely attacking style, besides being an excellent fielder, and a handy off-spin bowler. He is often regarded as the most devastating batsman that ever played the game by cricketers, journalists, fans and others alike, and played his entire career without a helmet, across the 17 years from 1974 till 1991. 1976 was perhaps Richards' finest year: he scored 1710 runs, at an astonishing average of 90.00, with seven centuries in 11 Tests. This achievement is all the more remarkable considering he missed the second Test at Lord's after contracting glandular fever; yet he returned to score his career-best 291 at the Oval later in the summer. This tally stood as the world record for most Test runs by a batsman in a single calendar year for 30 years until broken by Mohammad Yousuf of Pakistan on November 30, 2006. The ICC came out with their rankings for the best batsmen and bowlers in the history of the game for both the longer and shorter versions. The ratings for Test Cricket had Vivian Richards ranked at 5 after Sir Donald Bradman, Sir Len Hutton, Sir Jack Hobbs, and Peter May.


Which famous comic was first issued in Britain on 14 April 1950?

The History of British Comics Published: 07 April 2016 Hits: 4344 It is generally agreed that Funny Folks (1874 - 1894) became the first publication to meet the accepted definition of a comic. Funny Folks began as a supplement to the Weekly Budget. Its popularity led to it being published as a separate weekly paper. The success of Funny Folks encouraged the publication of other weekly comics. One such comic was the famous Victorian comic, Ally Sloper’s Half Holiday (1884 - 1916). Ally Sloper’s Half Holiday was the inspiration of the engraver and publisher, Gilbert Dalziel. Ally Sloper had a characteristic red nose, battered top hat and he was usually drunk. Ally Sloper is notably the first ever comic strip hero and undoubtedly laid the foundations for the likes of Chubblock Homes -(Comic Cuts), Weary Willie and Tired Tim - (Illustrated Chips), Roy of the Rovers - (Tiger), Desperate Dan - (The Dandy), Dan Dare - (The Eagle) and more recently Judge Dredd - (2000AD). These are but a few names from the canon of British Comic heroes The late 1890’s saw an explosion in comic publishing. Alfred Harmsworth ’s Comic Cuts (1890 - 1953) cost just half a penny, which was half the cost of its contemporaries. Comic Cuts soon had competition from rival publishers with titles such as Funny Cuts (1890 - 1920). Harmsworths response was to bring out further titles of his own including Illustrated Chips. Although these publications were classed as comics, they were primarily aimed at and published for an adult audience. Comics for young children (Nursery Comics) didn’t start being published until the early years of the twentieth century. Rainbow (1914 - 1956) is generally accepted as the first children’s comic although Puck (1904 - 1940) did have a junior section after issue eleven and gradually became a children’s comic. The 1930’s are known as the Golden age of comics. The Golden age saw the appearance of comics like Tiny Tots (1927 - 1959), Crackers (1929 - 1941), The Dandy (1937 - Present) and The Beano (1938 - Present). Both the Beano and the Dandy appeared just prior to the outbreak of the 2nd World War and their timing can be considered fortunate because paper shortages led to laws prohibiting the launching of new comics during the war years. The Beano and Dandy became a vanguard of a new era with the introduction of a new size and style of comic artistry, which included the introduction of speech bubbles in some of the stories.Puck was the first comic to print a s substantial number of its pages in colour but it wasn’t until Mickey Mouse Weekly (1936 - 1955) that a comic was published completely in full colour photogravure. Photogravure is a picture produced from a photographic negative and transferred to a metal plate where it is etched on. The 1950’s is known as the Silver Age and it saw the appearance of a more sophisticated type of comic epitomised by the Eagle (1950 - 1969) with its hero Dan Dare. The silver age comics were post war publications and gone were the paper shortages of the war years, these comics were printed on a better quality paper with full photogravure.The success of the two DC Thomson titles (Beano and Dandy) led Thomson’s rivals, The Amalgamated Press, to launch two of their own rival comics namely Radio Fun (1938 - 1961) and Knockout (1939 -1963). Although The Beano and Dandy are still continuing to be published, Radio Fun and Knockout ended their days in the early 1960’s. In July 1939 DC Thomson had launched a comic called The Magic Comic (1939 - 1941) but it was short lived due to the over saturation of the comics market at that time. The Dandy continues to be the oldest British comic still in publication. No history of British comics would be complete without paying homage to the great Denis Gifford who was born on Boxing day 1927. Gifford's contribution to British comics both as a contributor in the 1940s and 1950s,  including Flip & Flop', and historian is immeasurable. Gifford, who died in 2000 aged 72, wrote over fifty books on British comics which included ‘The Best of the Eagle (1989). Such was his


The character Rick Blaine appears in which film?

SparkNotes: Casablanca: Analysis of Major Characters Analysis of Major Characters Themes, Motifs, and Symbols Rick Blaine Rick Blaine, the cynical owner of Rick's Café Americain, often appears too jaded to be impressed or moved by anyone. He refuses to accept drinks from customers, treats his lover Yvonne without affection or respect, and seems not to care that a war is being waged around him or that desperate refugees have flocked to Casablanca. He makes a point of broadcasting his aloofness, stating on several occasions, "I stick my neck out for nobody." However, another Rick lurks behind his façade of cynicism. Near the beginning of the film, he refuses entry to the bar's private back room to a member of the Deutsche Bank, even though other, less prominent people are allowed in—a clue that despite his proclaimed apathy, his political sympathies lie with the Allies. He also criticizes the criminal Ugarte for charging refugees too much for exit visas. Shortly thereafter, Louis calls him a sentimentalist, and we learn that before coming to Casablanca, Rick was involved in political causes, supporting losing sides against fascist aggressors in Spain and Ethiopia. From the opening scene, Rick shows himself to be a mysterious and complicated man—terse, solitary, and self-involved, but also generous, discriminating, and perhaps a political partisan. When Ilsa arrives in Casablanca, we start to understand some of Rick's mysterious past. In a flashback to his time in Paris, we see a younger, happier, lighter Rick in love with Ilsa. As though to emphasize how different he is in Paris, he is called Richard, not Rick, in all the flashback scenes. Though Rick and Ilsa plan to leave Paris together after the Nazis' arrival, Ilsa stands Rick up at the train station, and this painful separation helps explain how the optimistic Richard became the aloof, cynical Rick we see at the beginning of the film. Rick is not coldhearted, but he suffers from heartbreak. When Ilsa appears at the bar, Rick initially reacts angrily and refuses to give her and Laszlo the letters of transit. By the end of the film, he acts heroically, sacrificing both a possible future with Ilsa and his comfortable life in Casablanca so that Laszlo can escape with Ilsa and continue his important political work. In effect, three Ricks appear in the movie. In Paris, he is a romantic innocent; in Casablanca, a jaded, hard-hearted capitalist; and by the end of the film, a committed, self-sacrificing idealist. Ultimately, Rick's story remains incomplete. A dark mystery from Rick's past prevents him from returning to his native America, and though we learn much about him, we never learn why he can't go home. Ilsa Lund Ilsa is fiercely loyal to her husband, Laszlo, and the political cause—resistance to the Nazis—he represents, but the truth of her sentiments is constantly suspect. She claims to love Laszlo, but she also claims to be in love with Rick, both in Paris and in Casablanca. We might suspect that Rick is her great passion and that only circumstance and political necessity prevent their union, but Ilsa never makes the distinction clear. She has good reason to tell Rick she loves him in Casablanca, since she needs the letters of transit he holds. Her motives are always shadowy because she always has possible, logical ulterior motives, and she maintains a cold detachment that prevents her from being understood. The letter she sent to Rick in Paris so many years ago, saying she could never see him again, is evidence of her ability to shield her true feelings from those who love her the most. Ilsa clearly has suffered from the whims of fortune more than any other character in Casablanca. First, her husband is arrested and rumored to be dead. When he reappears, she must run with him throughout Europe with the Nazis always on their heels. She meets Rick and falls in love, only to have to leave him, then meets him and perhaps falls in love with him again, only to leave him once more. No matter whom she truly loves, she has not had an easy life, and her fate is the most tragi


In which American state is Edwards Air Force Base?

Edwards Air Force Base | Military Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Edwards Air Force Base Share Script error Edwards Air Force Base (AFB) (IATA: EDW, ICAO: KEDW, FAA Location identifier: EDW) is a United States Air Force base located approximately Script error northeast of Lancaster, California. It is the home of the Air Force Test Center and is the Air Force Materiel Command center of excellence for conducting and supporting research and developmental flight test and evaluation of aerospace systems from concept to combat. It operates the U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School and is home to NASA's Dryden Research Center and considerable test activities conducted by America's commercial aerospace industry. Contents Edit Edwards Air Force Base is Named in honor of Captain Glen Walter Edwards (1918-1948). Captain Edwards flew 50 missions in A-20 Havoc light attack bombers during the North African campaign during World War II on extremely hazardous, low-level missions against German tanks, convoys, troop concentrations, bridges, airfields and a variety of other tactical targets.  He became a test pilot in 1943 and spent much of his time at Muroc Army Air Field, on California's high desert, testing a wide variety of experimental prototype aircraft.  He died in the crash of a Northrop YB-49 Flying Wing near Muroc (now Edwards) AFB on 5 June 1948. [1] The base has played a significant role in the development of virtually every aircraft to enter the Air Force inventory since World War II. Through developmental flight testing Edwards provides real-time solutions that dramatically increases combat effectiveness through a responsive and tangible link to the warfighter. Almost every United States military aircraft since the 1950s has been at least partially tested at Edwards, and it has been the site of many aviation breakthroughs. Notable occurrences at Edwards include Chuck Yeager 's flight that broke the sound barrier in the Bell X-1 , test flights of the North American X-15 , the first landings of the Space Shuttle, and the 1986 around-the-world flight of the Rutan Voyager . Airplanes from Edwards Air Force Base provided the flyovers at many outdoor sporting events in Los Angeles County, including the 1980 Major League Baseball All-Star Game and many World Series games at Dodger Stadium and the missing man formation after Cheryl Ladd , Neil Diamond and Garth Brooks each sang the National Anthem at Rose Bowl in nearby Pasadena, California. The Base's five-man color guard has accompanied presentations of the National Anthem by a who's who of recording artists at these and other major sporting events in Los Angeles County, including the 1984 Summer Olympics opening and closing ceremonies, many NBA Finals games, the 2012 Stanley Cup Finals , two NHL All-Star Games , and three NBA All-Star Games , most notably accompanying Marvin Gaye 's performance at the 1983 game in Inglewood, California. The base is next to Rogers Dry Lake , an endorheic desert salt pan whose hard dry lake surface provides a natural extension to Edwards' runways. This large landing area, combined with excellent year-round weather, makes the base perfect for flight testing. The lake is a National Historic Landmark. [2] Units U.S. Air Force Test Pilot School (USAF TPS) The USAF Test Pilot School, also part of the 412th Test Wing, is where the Air Force's top pilots, navigators and engineers learn how to conduct flight tests and generate the data needed to carry out test missions. Human lives and millions of dollars depend upon how carefully a test mission is planned and flown. The comprehensive curriculum of Test Pilot School is fundamental to the success of flight test and evaluation. Associate Units There are a vast array of organizations at Edwards that do not fall under the 412th Test Wing. These are called Associate Units. These units do everything from providing an on-base grocery store to testing state-of-the-art rockets. 31st Test and Evaluation Squadron Lockheed Martin F-35A Lightning II 09-5007 Main article: Dryden Flight Research Center Dryden Flight Res


Which canal connects Inverness and Fort William?

The Caledonian canal Inverness to Fort William Waterway Scotland Information Centres The Caledonian Canal Cutting clean through Scotland’s Great Glen and connecting Inverness to Fort William the Caledonian Canal is one of the great waterways of the world, offering visitors spectacular scenery and many exciting opportunities to experience this unique waterway on foot, on bikes or in a boat. The mountain scenery of the Scottish Highlands may be a surprising setting for a canal, but the Great Glen is an ancient fault line through which the Caledonian Canal runs almost directly from South West to North East. You could with tongue in cheek claim that all land north west of the Caledonian Canal is an island! Canal Opened 1822 - Thomas Telford Stretching from Fort William to Inverness, the Caledonian Canal is 60 miles long. 22 miles of which are man-made to connect the natural lochs of Loch Lochy, Loch Oich, the famous Loch Ness and Loch Dochfour. The canal is, even by today’s standards an amazing feat of engineering first opened in 1822. It was constructed to help commercial shipping avoid the treacherous journey around the west coast. Unfortunately by the time the canal was completed many boats under sail (for which the canal was designed) had been replaced by steam ships which were much better able to negotiate the west coast waters than their predecessors, so traffic through the canal never really paid for itself. Not so today - the canal today is positively buzzing with vessels, many of them private pleasure boats from all over the world who come to make the voyage through the legendary lochs through which the canal passes. The most famous section of water that forms part of the Caledonian Canal is Loch Ness, where you can find several cruise companies offering a variety of boat trips and boating holidays to choose from if you feel tempted to take to the water. You could combine boating with walking sections of the Great Glen Way which follows roughly the same route.


What is the anatomical name for the armpit?

The Armpit (Human Anatomy): Picture, Function, Parts, Conditions, & More Human Anatomy Next The arrangement of the chest wall, shoulder bones and muscles, and the upper arm create a small hollow called the armpit. The armpit is the underside of the shoulder joint, and is among the warmest areas of the body. The armpit is also called the axilla. Blood and lymph vessels serving the arm travel through the armpit. There are more than 20 lymph nodes (small lumps of tissue that are part of the body's lymphatic system, which helps fight infection) in the armpit. These lymph nodes normally cannot be felt through the skin. The armpits have a high concentration of hair follicles and sweat glands. Armpit Conditions Hyperhidrosis : Excessive sweating, which often affects the armpits and hands. The cause is unknown; the perspiration is not due to anxiety or stress.    Irritant contact dermatitis : Skin inflammation (redness, swelling, pain, or heat) caused by an irritating substance touching the skin. Soaps, deodorant, alcohol, and dry air may all cause irritant contact dermatitis of the armpit. Allergic contact dermatitis : An allergic reaction to something directly touching the skin, usually causing redness and small blisters. Irritant contact dermatitis affects the armpit more often than allergic contact dermatitis. Psoriasis : The armpits are often affected by psoriasis, a condition causing red plaques with a silvery scale to appear on the skin. Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition, meaning it is caused when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues. Acanthosis nigricans : A skin disorder causing velvety, light brown to black markings on the skin of the armpits, neck, groin, and/or under the breasts. Tinea corporis ( ringworm ): A fungal infection of the uppermost layer of the skin (epidermis). Ringworm often creates a ring-shaped rash, although no worm is involved. Tinea axillaris: A term occasionally used for ringworm affecting the armpit. Candidiasis (yeast infection): A skin infection by the yeast Candida, causing irritated skin with white plaques. Candida grows best on warm, moist skin, and may affect the armpits. Intertrigo : A condition in which moist, warm skin becomes irritated and often mildly infected. Redness, itching, and burning of the skin in the armpits are common symptoms of intertrigo. Armpit abscess : When infected fluid (pus) collects in the armpit. The bacteria Staphylococcus is the most common cause. Hidradenitis suppurativa : A long-term (chronic) condition causing red, tender bumps in the skin of the armpits and/or groin. The bumps often turn into abscesses and can cause scarring over time. Erythrasma: A long-term (chronic) skin infection caused by the bacteria Corynebacterium. The infection causes red-brown, irritated patches of skin in the armpits or other moist areas of skin. Armpit boil (furuncle): A skin infection of a single hair follicle and surrounding skin. It causes a painful, red lump on the skin, which may grow into an abscess. Armpit folliculitis : Inflammation of the hair follicles, usually caused by bacterial infection. Most folliculitis is mild and goes away without specific treatment. Axillary lymphadenopathy: Enlargement of the lymph nodes of one or both armpits. The swelling may be caused by infection, cancer, or other causes and may be detected during a doctor’s examination or on imaging tests. Armpit skin tags (acrochordons): Harmless, small flaps of skin that commonly occur on the neck or armpits. Skin tags are more common with older age. Continued Armpit Tests Physical examination : By observing and palpating (feeling) the armpit, a doctor may find enlarged lymph nodes or other armpit conditions. Axillary lymph node biopsy : Part or all of a lymph node is removed from the armpit and examined under a microscope, sometimes to look for cancer. Ultrasound: A device placed on the surface of the skin bounces high-frequency sound waves off the structures in the armpit. The signals are converted into images on a video screen, allowing health care providers to see structures


Cinnabar is the chief ore of which metallic element?

Cinnabar: The mercury mineral cinnabar: information and pictures USES Cinnabar is the most common mercury mineral and is the chief ore of that metal . It is mined extensively for the production of mercury. Aesthetic crystals of Cinnabar, especially those from China, are very popular among mineral collectors. Cinnabar has been historically used as a vermilion pigment. NOTEWORTHY LOCALITIES The finest Cinnabar crystals in the form of intensely-red bright transparent crystals come from China at Tongren, Guizhou Province, at the specific deposits of Wanshan, Yanwuping, and Yunchangping. Similar crystals occur nearby at the Chatian mine near Fenghuang, Xiangxi, Hunan Province. Almaden, Ciudad Real, Spain, is probably the most historic (as well as one of the most important) localities for Cinnabar. Specimens from that locality usually massive , but crystals have also been  found, and it has also produced specimens in association with small Native Mercury blobs. Other important deposits include Idria, Slovenia; Rudňany, Slovakia; Nikitovka (Horlivka), Donets'ka Oblast, Ukraine; and Chauvai, Alai Range, Kyrgyzstan. In Mexico, a classic locality is Charcas, San Luis Potosí. The U.S. also contains several important deposits, most notably in the mercury-producing districts of California and Nevada. California deposits include the New Almaden District, Santa Clara Co.; and New Idria and Mount Diablo, Diablo Range, San Benito / Contra Costa Counties. Nevada deposits include the Cahill Mine, Poverty Peak, Humboldt Co.; and Antelope Springs, Pershing Co. Other occurences include Terlingua, Brewster Co., Texas; and Kirby, Pike Co., Arkansas.

Tennyson, the fourth of twelve children, showed an early talent for writing. At the age of twelve he wrote a 6,000-line epic poem. His father, the Reverend George Tennyson, tutored his sons in classical and modern languages. In the 1820s, however, Tennyson's father began to suffer frequent mental breakdowns that were exacerbated by alcoholism. One of Tennyson's brothers had violent quarrels with his father, a second was later confined to an insane asylum, and another became an opium addict. Tennyson escaped home in 1827 to attend Trinity College, Cambridge. In that same year, he and his brother Charles published Poems by Two Brothers. Although the poems in the book were mostly juvenilia, they attracted the attention of the "Apostles," an undergraduate literary club led by Arthur Hallam. The "Apostles" provided Tennyson, who was tremendously shy, with much needed friendship and confidence as a poet. Hallam and Tennyson became the best of friends; they toured Europe together in 1830 and again in 1832. Hallam's sudden death in 1833 greatly affected the young poet. The long elegy In Memoriam and many of Tennyson's other poems are tributes to Hallam. In 1830, Tennyson published Poems, Chiefly Lyrical and in 1832 he published a second volume entitled simply Poems. Some reviewers condemned these books as "affected" and "obscure." Tennyson, stung by the reviews, would not publish another book for nine years. In 1836, he became engaged to Emily Sellwood. When he lost his inheritance on a bad investment in 1840, Sellwood's family called off the engagement. In 1842, however, Tennyson's Poems in two volumes was a tremendous critical and popular success. In 1850, with the publication of In Memoriam, Tennyson became one of Britain's most popular poets. He was selected Poet Laureate in succession to Wordsworth . In that same year, he married Emily Sellwood. They had two sons, Hallam and Lionel. At the age of 41, Tennyson had established himself as the most popular poet of the Victorian era. The money from his poetry (at times exceeding 10,000 pounds per year) allowed him to purchase a house in the country and to write in relative seclusion. His appearance—a large and bearded man, he regularly wore a cloak and a broad brimmed hat—enhanced his notoriety. He read his poetry with a booming voice, often compared to that of Dylan Thomas . In 1859, Tennyson published the first poems of Idylls of the Kings, which sold more than 10,000 copies in one month. In 1884, he accepted a peerage, becoming Alfred Lord Tennyson. Tennyson died on October 6, 1892, and was buried in Westminster Abbey.

Who was the singer who gave up his seat on the plane that crashed, killing Buddy Holly?

The Story of Rock's First Tragedy: Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper Killed in Plane Crash REDDIT Hulton Archive, Getty Images Rock ‘n’ roll was still in its infancy when it suffered its first tragedy. On Feb. 3, 1959, three of its biggest stars — Buddy Holly , Ritchie Valens and J.P. Richardson, known as the Big Bopper — were killed in a plane crash near Clear Lake, Iowa. The three acts, along with Dion and the Belmonts, were on a package tour called the Winter Dance Party, which was to play 24 Midwestern cities in as many days. But the bus’ heating system was ill-equipped and broke down a few days later, which caused some musicians to catch the flu and Holly’s drummer Carl Bunch to be hospitalized for frostbite. By the time they reached the Surf Ballroom in Clear Lake on Feb. 2, about a week and a half into the tour, Holly, after the show, decided to charter a plane from nearby Mason City to Fargo, N.D., just across the state line from their next gig in Moorhead, Minn. As a bonus, Holly would be able to do his laundry, which had been neglected since the tour began. The plane, a Beechwood Bonanza, had room for only three passengers — Holly and his band — and the pilot, Roger Peterson. Holly’s bass player, future country legend Waylon Jennings , gave up his seat to Richardson, who was ill. According to Jennings’ autobiography, Holly teased his bass player by saying, “Well, I hope your ol’ bus freezes up.” To which Jennings responded, “Well, I hope your ol’ plane crashes.” There are conflicting stories as to how Valens wound up in the third seat. Tommy Allsup, Holly’s guitarist, claimed that he lost a coin flip to Valens in the dressing room. In 2010, Dion DiMucci, who had been silent about that night for 51 years, claimed that he, not Allsup, was slated for the third seat because he was one of the headliners. But after winning the coin toss, he balked at paying $36 for the flight — the amount his parents paid in monthly rent for the apartment where he grew up — and gave Valens the seat. Local DJ Bob Hale, who was the MC for the concert, agrees that it was between Allsup and Valens, but that he, not Allsup, flipped the coin. Regardless of the contradictions, around 12:55AM on Feb. 3, the plane carrying Holly, Richardson and Valens took off in a snowstorm with strong winds. But the plane traveled only a few miles before crashing, killing all four men instantly. The federal investigation ruled that even though the weather played a large role in the accident, the 21-year-old Peterson was too inexperienced to have been flying in such conditions. In addition, he had most likely misread the altitude indicator, which was different than the one on which he had trained, and inadvertently brought the plane down instead of up. At the time, Holly’s wife of six months, Maria Elena, was two weeks pregnant. The day after the crash, she suffered a miscarriage from the emotional trauma. In March 1980, a long-missing piece of the plane crash was discovered. Holly’s signature black-rimmed glasses had landed in a snow bank and were discovered in the spring of 1959, after the snow melted. They were brought to the Cerro Gordo County Sheriff’s office, sealed in a manila envelope and forgotten about for 21 years. Upon discovery, the glasses were returned to his widow and are currently on permanent display at the Buddy Holly Center in his hometown of Lubbock, Texas. Rockers Who Died at Age 27 Image of


Who was the leader of the conspirators involved in the Gunpowder Plot in 1605?

The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 - History Learning Site Home   »   Stuart England   »  The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 The Gunpowder Plot of 1605 Citation: C N Trueman "The Gunpowder Plot of 1605" historylearningsite.co.uk. The History Learning Site, 17 Mar 2015. 16 Aug 2016. In November 1605, the infamous Gunpowder Plot took place in which some Catholics, most famously Guy Fawkes,  plotted to blow up James I, the first of the Stuart kings of England. The story is remembered each November 5th when ‘Guys’ are burned in a celebration known as “Bonfire Night”. The story appears to be very simple. Catholics in England had expected James to be more tolerant of them. In fact, he had proved to be the opposite and had ordered all Catholic priests to leave England. This so angered some Catholics that they decided to kill James and put his daughter Elizabeth on the throne ensuring that she was a Catholic. This led to a plot to kill not only the king of England, James, but also everyone sitting in the Houses of Parliament at the same time as James was there when he opened Parliament on November 5th, 1605. Guy Fawkes and his fellow conspirators, having rented out a house right by the Houses of Parliament,  managed to get 36 barrels of gunpowder into a cellar of the House of Lords. The other conspirators were: John Grant and the man who is said to have organised the whole plot Robert Catesby. The most famous picture of some the conspirators The explosive expert, Guy Fawkes, had been left in the cellars to set off the fuse. He was only caught when a group of guards decided to check the cellars at the last moment. Fawkes was arrested and sent to the Tower of London where he was tortured and eventually gave away the names of the fellow conspirators.  Sir William Wade, Lieutenant of the Tower, had orders to use whatever means of torture was required to get information from Fawkes. The order came from James.  Of those involved, some were shot as they were chased by the law such as Percy and Catesby. Others were captured, sent to the Tower and, after a brief trial, eventually hung, drawn and quartered, with Fawkes, in January 1606.    The signature of Guy Fawkes on his confession In celebration of his survival, James ordered that the people of England should have a great bonfire in the night on November 5th. This fire was traditionally topped off with an effigy of the pope rather than Guy Fawkes. His place at the top of the fire came in later as did fireworks. The East Sussex county town of Lewes still has the pope alongside Guy Fawkes when it comes to the effigies being burned. But is there more to this plot than just a small number of angry Catholics wanting to make a statement against the king, James? Some believe that the whole plot was a government conspiracy to convince James that Catholics could not be trusted. At the very least, some curious things happened when the story is looked at in detail. What is odd? We do know that James’ chief minister, Robert Cecil, the Earl of Salisbury, hated Catholics and saw them as a constant source of trouble. Cecil also feared that there was a chance that James would be lenient  with them during his reign and this he could not tolerate. That James only expelled priests was not good enough for Cecil. He wanted to remove Catholicism from England as he saw it as a threat. We know that James was terrified of a violent death; his childhood in Scotland had been fraught with danger including being kidnapped as a boy. What better way to get James to severely persecute the Catholics in England than to get him to believe that they had tried to kill him in this very violent manner? The government had a monopoly on gunpowder in this country and it was stored in places like the Tower of London. How did the conspirators get hold of 36 barrels of gunpowder without drawing attention to themselves? Did they get help from the government? How was the gunpowder moved across London from the Tower of London to Westminster (at least two miles distant) without anyone seeing it? The River Thames would not have been used as it could


What is the name of the central keep of the Tower of London?

Tower of London - the towers England > London > Tower of London > Tower of London towers Tower of London by Kathy McGillick The Tower of London is a combination of buildings begun during the time of William the Conqueror. Originally built as a fortress, to keep hostile Londoners at bay it was also used to sight approaching enemies on the Thames River. It has been used as a palace, a library, a mint, a treasury, a bank, an arsenal and an observatory. The most famous reputation is that of a prison. There are several towers within the Tower of London, the oldest part of the building and the most conspicuous being the White Tower [which was named during the 13th-century when Henry III had it whitewashed}. This is the central keep built by William the Conqueror and completed by his sons William Rufus and Henry I. The walls of the White Tower are 15 feet thick and it is 90 feet high. Of interest is that one of the Four Corners (turrets) contained the first royal observatory. The White Tower currently contains the Chapel of St. John, one of the few unchanged areas where the Royal Family and the court worshipped and where the knights of the Order of Bath spent their Vigil the night before the king or queen was crowned. The White tower also contains an exhibition of arms, armor and torture instruments. The Middle Tower was built in the 13th century and the archway, together with Byward Tower and Bloody Tower were defended by portcullises (spiked like gates), two of which are still there. The Bloody Tower was originally known as the Garden Tower. [The name Bloody Tower, however, is only traced back to 1571] It was here that two little princes Edward V and his brother Richard, Duke of York, were supposedly murdered in 1483 with orders from Richard Duke of Gloucester, who was subsequently crowned Richard III. Many years later, during the reign of Charles II, two sets of bones of young boys were found under a stairway (the presiding king ordered the bodies buried in Westminster Abbey) and thus the name Bloody Tower came about due to treachery and murder within its walls. In 1603 Sir Walter Raleigh became a prisoner here - the period during which he wrote his History of the World, but he was kept "prisoner" in what was considered "comfortable circumstances". He was released in 1616 and died in 1618 when James I had him beheaded. The Wakefield Tower is where Henry VI (founded Eton and Cambridge University) was brutally murdered. In 1471, during the time of the 'Wars of the Roses' - England's medieval civil war, he was stabbed to death while praying. The Wakefield Tower housed the Crown Jewels from 1879-1967 but it is now an empty tower. Important prisoners were kept in Beauchamp Tower, where the inside walls are still covered with graffiti and inscriptions carved by the prisoners. The most elaborate is a memorial to the five Dudley brothers, one of whom was Lord Guilford Dudley, husband of Lady Jane Grey - the pair was executed in 1554. The Tower Green is where two of Henry III's queens and several other people at his request were beheaded. It was a rare honor to be beheaded inside the tower; most people were executed outside on Tower Hill, so the crowds who enjoyed such events could get a better view. The Traitor's Gate was originally known as Water Gate but the name was changed when it began to be used as a landing place for traitors. This is where the prisoner boats arrived, many hoping they would be ransomed or pardoned. In more modern times, German spies were executed in the courtyards during the two World Wars, and in 1941, Hitler's deputy - Rudolph Hess, was actually imprisoned in the Tower. The Jewel House is where you'll find the Crown Jewels, a collection of gold, silver, precious stones and other royal regalia. The Chapel Royal and St. Peter ad Vincula is the oldest chapel royal in England. It is in this chapel that most of those who died on Tower Hill and six of the seven executed on Tower Green were laid to rest under flagstones without ceremony. Between the Chapel and Tower Green is a small paved area where a scaffold was


Of which band was guitarist Paul 'Bonehead' Arthurs a founder member?

Former members Chris Hutton - Vocals Founder member of The Rain in 1990. This was the band which was the precursor to Oasis, and was formed by Hutton, Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs and Paul "Guigsy" McGuigan. These three were later joined by Tony McCarroll on drums. Hutton has now co-written a book about his experiences. In it he rues what might have been, and is scathing of the way he was treated by Arthurs and McGuigan in particular. For more details see Books An article about Hutton's role in the band based on the book and including pictures of the early Rain appeared in Select in December 1998 Tony McCarroll - Drums Having survived the loss of Hutton, a change of name for the band, and the recruitment of Liam and Noel, McCarroll lasted only until April 1995 before ejection. Played drums on the "Definitely Maybe" album and the "Some Might Say" single. Apparently unwanted and unloved for some time before, it has been alleged that Noel was scathing of his technical ability, and that Liam simply disliked him. He started legal proceedings for a share of the band's future record sale royalties, since when a partial payment on account of past royalties due has been made. The case was set for a full High Court hearing in March 1999, but in the days leading up to the hearing the case was settled on terms which seemed to be disadvantageous financially to McCarroll. Articles about the case appeared in The Times and The Guardian Scott McLeod - Bass Guitar The band were due to play four dates in the UK to be followed by a US tour in October 1995. Although never strictly a member, Oasis set off with him as stand-in for McGuigan whilst the latter took an enforced sojourn due to "nervous exhaustion". McLeod, formerly of the Ya-Ya's but by then with Saint Jack, apparently finds the pressures of stardom too much, and after completing the UK dates and just five of the US dates quit the tour abruptly and flew home. The rest of the tour wass cancelled, though a dejected band played a prestigious Letterman television show in New York as a four-piece with Bonehead on bass. Paul "Bonehead" Arthurs - Rhythm Guitar Bonehead was a founder member of Oasis and its predecessor, The Rain alongside Chris Hutton, Paul McGuigan and former-drummer Tony McCarroll. Following the arrival of Noel into the band, Bonehead became van driver, tour manager and peace broker between the occasionally-warring Gallagher brothers. As the band gathered fame, he became renowned for his drinking with Liam, and his outrageous and daredevil stunts in hotels around the world. Already worldly-wise and with a solid building trade background, Bonehead was always seen as the strength and backbone of the Oasis myth. Nine years after the whole story began, the only supporter of Manchester United in the band decided that he wanted to spend more time with his family and informed the rest of the band in March 1999 that his days were numbered. Finishing his guitar parts for the forthcoming album he returned home, and in August 1999 announced his affirming decision to pursue a new career path.


Of which constellation is Deneb the brightest star?

Deneb is distant and very luminous | Brightest Stars | EarthSky Deneb is distant and very luminous By Larry Sessions in Brightest Stars | August 18, 2016 Deneb is one of the most distant stars you will see with your eye alone. That’s because it’s one of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way galaxy. Image via Fred Espenak Deneb is one of the most distant stars you will see with your eye alone. That’s because it’s one of the most luminous stars in the Milky Way galaxy. The exact distance to Deneb is unclear, with estimates ranging from about 1,425 light-years to perhaps as much as 7,000 light-years. Whatever its exact distance, when you gaze at Deneb, know that you are gazing across thousands of light-years of space. The best estimates for Deneb’s distance likely are those obtained by the Hipparcos Space Astrometry Mission in the 1990s. A simple calculation from initial Hipparcos data gives the figure of 3,230 light-years, whereas the refined data yield just over 1,400 light-years. At any of these estimates distances, Deneb is one of the farthest stars the unaided human eye can see. It is so far, that the light that reaches the Earth today started on its journey well more than 1,000 years ago. Deneb (bottom half of frame) is 200 times bigger than the sun. Image via AstroBob In order for us to see it at its enormous distance, Deneb must also be tremendously bright and energetic. Among the 20 brightest stars, only Rigel in Orion surpasses Deneb in intrinsic brightness. Deneb is an A2Ia star, which says that it is white hot (A2) and a supergiant star (Ia). Prof. James Kaler, using the figure of 2,600 light years as the distance, estimated a diameter 200 times greater than our sun, and about a quarter of a million times brighter in visible light. Considering its spectral classification (A2), Deneb must have a surface temperature between about 8500 to 9000 kelvins (roughly 14,800 to 15,700 degrees F). This is the famous Hertzsprung-Russel diagram, which shows the luminosities of stars. See Deneb at the top of the diagram? It is one of the most luminous stars known. Deneb is not the biggest star in the Milky Way. Betelgeuse and Antares , among others, are larger. But Deneb may well be the most energetic (based on the amount of electromagnetic radiation it produces) of the A-type stars. The famed North American nebula, a large cloud of glowing gas in the shape of the continent, likely is glowing in a process similar to fluorescence, energized by the radiation of Deneb. Stellar luminosity: The true brightnesses of stars How to see it White Deneb is the 20th brightest star in the sky. It is one of the most remote stars visible to the eye alone. You can gaze at this faraway star starting in late spring, when Deneb rises over the northeastern horizon by mid-evening. A month later, Deneb is already in the sky by the time it gets dark. In standard time, the midnight culmination date is about August 1. Using Daylight Time, the midnight culmination is about August 15. The word ‘culmination’ indicates the star’s highest point in the sky. Deneb is part of several famous star patterns, which overlap each other. It’s the brightest of the stars composing the constellation Cygnus the Swan, where it marks the Swan’s Tail. When you hear ‘deneb’ in a star name, it always means ‘tail.’ Simultaneously, Deneb marks the head of an asterism (a readily recognizable grouping of stars that is not an official constellation), known as the Northern Cross. Plus it is one of the three stars known as the Summer Triangle . The other two stars are Vega and Altair . Deneb is the northernmost and dimmest of the three Triangle stars, but its association with the other bright stars makes it easy to identify. Deneb is circumpolar as seen from locations of about 45 degrees north latitude, roughly the northern tier of US states. In other words, from the northern U.S. and similar latitudes, Deneb never sets but instead circles round and round the pole star. It cannot ever be seen south of about 45 degrees south latitude. That includes Antarctica, far southern Arge
