Native to America, what type of creature is a 'Bobolink'?

Bobolink, Identification, All About Birds - Cornell Lab of Ornithology Typical Voice Size & Shape Bobolinks are small songbirds with large, somewhat flat heads, short necks, and short tails. They are related to blackbirds and orioles, and they have a similar shaped, sharply pointed bill. Color Pattern Breeding male Bobolinks are mostly black with a white back and rump, and a rich buffy nape. Females and nonbreeding males are warm buffy brown, streaked with dark brown on the back and flanks. They have bold brown stripes on the crown but are unstreaked on the nape of the neck. The bill is pinkish. Behavior In spring, male Bobolinks give conspicuous display flights low over grasslands, fluttering their wings while singing. At other times, Bobolinks stay hidden in tall grasses or brush, clinging to seed heads or foraging on the ground amid the stems. They often migrate in large flocks. Habitat Bobolinks are birds of tall grasslands, uncut pastures, overgrown fields and meadows, and the continent’s remaining prairies. While molting and on migration, look for them in marshes and in agricultural fields, particularly rice fields.


With Michael Landon and Karen Grassle as the mother and father, what was the surname of the main family in the TV series Litle House on the Prairie?

The casting was perfect.The music was great,all the characters had their theme song. If only we could see more about the little house actors now because they were more talented than somme actors you get on television drama now.Mattew Laborteaux was a great actors especially in the episode I'll remember you and Fagin and who could ever forget Scottie Mc gregor and Alyson Amgrim as Hariet and Nelie Olson. My point is that THEY DONT DO SHOWS LIKE THIS ANYMORE and it's sad,they did try to copy it with Dr queen but still it wasn't the half as good. I am hoping one day of somme sort of a reunion even if I know that it wont be the samme as the great Michael Landon died and that many of the others actors did too. Was the above review useful to you? 39 out of 48 people found the following review useful: Not as sappy as you might remember... Author: Child Of Fire 20 March 2002 I grew up watching 'Little House On The Prairie', as well as read some of the books on which the program was based. As a young kid, I was aware that some of the issues on the program were very serious, but I still considered it, like many of you, to be a 'family' program; sweet, sappy, and moralistic. As the years have worn on, I've watched the program in reruns. Lately, for the past 2-3 months, I've been watching back-to-back reruns nearly everyday, and have been extremely surprised at the darker layers to 'Little House' that I guess most people never picked up. Here's some of the darker subjects tackled on 'Little House' - murder, corruption, child rape/abuse/endangerment, drug abuse, teenage pregnancy, accusations of adultery, etc. From this list you'd think you I was talking about a show you couldn't watch with your family. 'Little House' also dealt with death, destruction of one's home, the evils of gossip, alcoholism, divorce, kidnapping, racism/xenophobia/religious persecution, personal crisis, loss of faith, etc. Sure some episodes tried to have a resolution at the end of 60 minutes, but most did not. The characters were not perfect by a long shot; not even the main character Laura or even the Reverend Alden. I highly recommend 'Little House' to adults wanting to try something different out. A much better show than other 'family' shows of the time, like 'Eight Is Enough' (good but not as good as LH), and much, much better than the 'family' shows of the past decade including 'Dr. Quinn' and '7th Heaven'. Was the above review useful to you? 34 out of 39 people found the following review useful: My favorite of many outstanding episodes from Merriam, Kansas 13 September 2000 I enjoy this series (I faithfully watch the reruns) for the same reasons millions of others do; the story lines that provide valuable lessons in life and the outstanding performances by regulars and guests. I would like to let readers know my all time favorite episode. It's the one titled "The Man Inside". This is the one about the fat man who decides to "leave" so his daughter will no longer have to be embarrassedd by him. Later, the children in the blind school open her eyes and help her realize what a great father he is. Was the above review useful to you? 28 out of 33 people found the following review useful: great from Germany 29 September 2003 The late Michael Landon spent his life as a part of our tv family. From 1959 when Bonanza came on the air until 1989 when Highway to Heaven was canceled, there was not a single year that he did not have a series on the air. That is a record that will stand for all time I believe. He specialized in creating high quality family programming. People don't generally realize that

Which fellow English team did Tottenham Hotspur defeat by an aggregate score of 3 - 2 to win the 1972 EUFA Cup Final?

Tottenham Hotspur: 20 Best Spurs Players of All Time | Bleacher Report Tottenham Hotspur: 20 Best Spurs Players of All Time By Thomas Cooper , Featured Columnist Apr 14, 2013 Use your ← → (arrow) keys to browse the slideshow Clive Mason/Getty Images Spoiler alert: Ledley King features on the following list. Read on to find out where the former Tottenham Hotspur defender placed. 37.6K 37 Comments Working out the criteria for deciding the best players to have played for any one club or country, or even in a league or decade, is not easy. In the club category, there is no exact science in choosing between big names and cult heroes of different eras. So this is a warning that the following list of Tottenham Hotspur 's 20 best-ever players—while assessing and measuring talent, success, longevity, loyalty and determination, among other things—has largely come down to this writer's opinion. Covering only the post-World War II years (sorry Jimmy Dimmock, George Hunt, Arthur Grimsdell etc!), an attempt has been made to choose between the heroes who established the club's modern reputation in the 1950s and 1960s and more recent stars. Feasibly, the list could have just contained players from Spurs' only two league-title winning sides. In order to make it a tad more interesting, a little more subjectivity has been applied. Trawling back over 60-odd years of Tottenham history has been a lot of fun. Inevitably, some fantastic Spurs players have missed out on being deemed one of the club's 20 best. No list is going to completely satisfy any reader, and this one has undergone several changes over the course of writing it. If nothing else, this one has been intended as a celebration of some of the most varied, talented and hugely accomplished players to ever wear the famous old cockerel on their chest. Phil Cole/Getty Images 20. David Ginola. Unlike the majority of those occupying places on this list, David Ginola's impact at Tottenham Hotspur was comparatively short-term at three seasons. He stands above several others in that category in that he was not only a memorable and most delightful performer, but an extremely important one. Ginola's first season of 1997-98 was likely not what he envisioned upon signing from Newcastle United . Gerry Francis left prior to Christmas and was replaced as manager by Christian Gross, the upheaval exacerbating Tottenham's difficulties in the Premier League that season. Ginola's form was near-impervious to the struggles, and along with defensive rock Sol Campbell and a clutch of post-Christmas arrivals, the Frenchman played a large part in the club avoiding relegation. The following season would prove his finest at Spurs, and arguably the best of his career. In a season when Manchester United would record a historic treble, Ginola was almost a one-man road block in stopping Alex Ferguson and his club from achieving further honors. One of the stars of Spurs' run to League Cup success, Ginola was instrumental in his team's defeat of Man United at the quarterfinal stage. So impressive was he that season that he also edged in front of the Red Devils' numerous contenders to win both of English football's main player of the year awards. There would be further magic in his final season, before Ginola was moved on by George Graham, a coach with whom he shared a strained (though often very effective) working relationship. Memories of Ginola kept Spurs fans warm in those days, and will likely do so for many a year to come. Stu Forster/Getty Images 19. Darren Anderton. Darren Anderton is one of English football's most underrated players of the Premier League era. Even at Tottenham, his contributions were somewhat unrecognized, at least going by the abrupt fashion with which he was released at the end of the 2003-04 season. That oversight was partially corrected by his induction to the club's Hall of Fame. Make no mistake, Anderton was one of Spurs' most significant beacons of quality in a tumultuous time that lasted throughout his White Hart Lane stay. The early years saw Anderton at his most dazzling, a young,


Which eight letter word from medics takes its name from the Greek word meaning 'to smother'?

Matthew 6 Commentary - William Barclay's Daily Study Bible William Barclay's Daily Study Bible Matthew 6 Chapter 6 THE REWARD MOTIVE IN THE CHRISTIAN LIFE (Matthew 6:1-18) When we study the opening verses of Matthew 6:1-34 , we are immediately confronted with one most important question-- What is the place of the reward motive in the Christian life? Three times in this section Jesus speaks of God rewarding those who have given to him the kind of service which he desires (Matthew 6:4,; Matthew 6:18). This question is so important that we will do well to pause to examine it before we go on to study the chapter in detail. It is very often stated that the reward motive has no place whatsoever in the Christian life. It is held that we must be good for the sake of being good, that virtue is its own reward, and that the whole conception of reward must be banished from the Christian life. There was an old saint who used to say that he would wish to quench all the fires of hell with water, and to bum up all the joys of heaven with fire, in order that men seek for goodness nor nothing but goodness' sake, and in order that the idea of reward and punishment might be totally eliminated from life. On the face of it that point of view is very fine and noble; but it is not the point of view which Jesus held. We have already seen that three times in this passage Jesus speaks about reward. The right kind of almsgiving, the right kind of prayer, and the right kind of fasting will all have their reward. Nor is this an isolated instance of the idea of reward in the teaching of Jesus. He says of those who loyally bear persecution, who suffer insult without bitterness, that their reward will be great in heaven (Matthew 5:12). He says that whoever gives to one of these little ones a cup of cold water in the name of a disciple will not lose his reward (Matthew 10:42). At least part of the teaching of the parable of the talents is that faithful service will receive its reward (Matthew 25:14-30). In the parable of the last judgment the plain teaching is that there is reward and punishment in accordance with our reaction to the needs of our fellow-men (Matthew 25:31-46). It is abundantly clear that Jesus did not hesitate to speak in terms of rewards and punishments. And it may well be that we ought to be careful that we do not try to be more spiritual than Jesus was in our thinking about this matter of reward. There are certain obvious facts which we must note. (i) It is an obvious rule of life that any action which achieves nothing is futile and meaningless. A goodness which achieves no end would be a meaningless goodness. As has been very truly said: "Unless a thing is good for something, it is good for nothing." Unless the Christian life has an aim and a goal which it is a joy to obtain, it becomes largely without meaning. He who believes in the Christian way and the Christian promise cannot believe that goodness can have no result beyond itself (ii) To banish all rewards and punishments from the idea of religion is in effect to say that injustice has the last word. It cannot reasonably be held that the end of the good man and the end of the bad man are one and the same. That would simply mean that God does not care whether men are good or not. It would mean, to put it crudely and bluntly, that there is no point in being good, and no special reason why a man should live one kind of life instead of another. To eliminate all rewards and punishments is really to say that in God there is neither justice nor love. Rewards and punishments are necessary in order to make sense of life. A. E. Housman wrote: Yonder, on the morning blink, The sun is up, and so must 1, To wash and dress and eat and drink And look at things and talk and think And work, and God knows why. And often have I washed and dressed, And what's to show for all my pain? Let me lie abed and rest; Ten thousand times I've done my best, And all's to do again." If there are no rewards and no punishments, then that poem's view of life is true. Action is meaningless and all effort goes unavai

With Guy Williams and June Lockhart as the mother and father, what was the surname of the main family in the TV series Lost in Space?

The Guy Williams Webshrine Even while Lost in Space, the family Robinson (left to     right) -- Don West (Mark Goddard), Judy (Marta Kristen), Will (Billy     Mumy), Penny (Angela     Cartwright), Maureen (June Lockhart), and John Robinson (Williams) -- found the time to     wish viewers a happy holiday. A   Hollywood refugee by choice, the dashing actor who made his mark as Disneys "Zorro" contemplates his cosmically adrift years as the father of the Space   Family Robinson. It was spring 1968 and   Guy Williams had just finished filming the final third season episode of Lost in Space.   The annual wrap party was over, Williams sleek uniform had been returned to   wardrobe, and the cast was looking forward to a short hiatus before next seasons   shooting began. Four years had passed since Williams first donned a silver lame spacesuit   and ended up Lost in Space. At the beginning, Williams was the star; by the   series conclusion, he still had star billing, but was features behind three other   characters in the stories, and one of them, the Robot, wasnt even human. An article in TV   Guide portrayed Williams as bitter and jealous over Jonathan Harris domination   of the series, but its a view that Williams disowns. "The article was a little   on the nasty side, saying I was unhappy with Dr. Smith," the actor reveals. "My   real feelings were that I would have preferred to do a space show involving more real elementssurvival on an alien planet, and all that goes with it. To have Smith betray   Will week after week or get into trouble with aliens got to be tiresome." Harris rule of Lost   in Space had to be a strain for the easy-going Williams, who had long since quit   complaining about the Dr. Smith-oriented scripts. Besides, another season of employment   now beckoned, the money was good, and Williams was ready to sign up for another hitch on   the Jupiter II. A few weeks after the third season wrap party, Williams met   producer Irwin Allen (STARLOG #100, 102) and a CBS representative at a plush Beverly Hills   hotel. On the agenda were publicity photos and some questions by the press about the   fourth season of Lost in Space, but Williams didnt know that Allen was   sitting on some important information. "I found out about   the cancellation in typical Lost in Space fashion," says Williams. "A   reporter at the photo session asked me when filming would begin on the next season. I was   about to answer when the network person said, That isnt certain yet. I   said to the reporters, You heard him its not certain yet." Allen took Williams aside and quickly explained why he didnt tell anyone about the   cancellation. "Irwin told me he wanted to fight it first, and hand everyone a new   season on a silver platter. He tried and failed, and shortly afterward, we   were definitely cancelled." Williams wasnt   too concerned about the future, having been steadily employed in Hollywood since the early   1950s. His career had its ups and downs, but there was always another job sooner or   later. "My career has this kind of checkering all through it," explains Williams. "Ive been leaving the business all the time." As it   turned out, Williams exit from series television and movies so far has been   permanenthe hasnt acted in from of a film camera since that last day on the Lost   in Space set. A Guy Named "Guy" Taking his career so   casually is a way of life for Williams, who was born Armando Catalano in New York City,   the son of recent Italian immigrants. As Armando, he grew up tall (63") and   handsome, and, in keeping with his "laid-back" lifestyle, earned his living as a   photo model. "I was studying acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse, and modeling was a   simple and profitable way of working around financial problems," Williams recalls. "It required little time and paid well." The name Guy Williams   emerged during this time, when anyone with a foreign-sounding name or appearance was   quic


Which poem by Alfred Lord Tennyson contains the line 'Into the mouth of hell rode the six hundred'?

SparkNotes: Tennyson’s Poetry: “The Charge of the Light Brigade” “The Charge of the Light Brigade” “The Charge of the Light Brigade” → “The Charge of the Light Brigade”, page 2 page 1 of 2 Half a league, half a league, Half a league onward, All in the valley of Death    Rode the six hundred. Charge for the guns!’ he said: Into the valley of Death    Rode the six hundred. Was there a man dismay’d? Not tho’ the soldier knew    Someone had blunder’d: Their’s not to make reply, Their’s not to reason why, Their’s but to do and die: Into the valley of Death    Rode the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon in front of them    Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell, Boldly they rode and well, Into the jaws of Death, Into the mouth of Hell    Rode the six hundred. Flash’d all their sabres bare, Flash’d as they turn’d in air Sabring the gunners there,    All the world wonder’d: Plunged in the battery-smoke Right thro’ the line they broke; Cossack and Russian Reel’d from the sabre-stroke Shatter’d and sunder’d. Then they rode back, but not    Not the six hundred. Cannon to right of them, Cannon to left of them, Cannon behind them    Volley’d and thunder’d; Storm’d at with shot and shell, While horse and hero fell, They that had fought so well Came thro’ the jaws of Death, Back from the mouth of Hell, All that was left of them,    Left of six hundred. When can their glory fade ? O the wild charge they made!    All the world wonder’d. Honour the charge they made! Honour the Light Brigade,    Noble six hundred! Summary The poem tells the story of a brigade consisting of 600 soldiers who rode on horseback into the “valley of death” for half a league (about one and a half miles). They were obeying a command to charge the enemy forces that had been seizing their guns. Not a single soldier was discouraged or distressed by the command to charge forward, even though all the soldiers realized that their commander had made a terrible mistake: “Someone had blundered.” The role of the soldier is to obey and “not to make reply...not to reason why,” so they followed orders and rode into the “valley of death.” The 600 soldiers were assaulted by the shots of shells of canons in front and on both sides of them. Still, they rode courageously forward toward their own deaths: “Into the jaws of Death / Into the mouth of hell / Rode the six hundred.” The soldiers struck the enemy gunners with their unsheathed swords (“sabres bare”) and charged at the enemy army while the rest of the world looked on in wonder. They rode into the artillery smoke and broke through the enemy line, destroying their Cossack and Russian opponents. Then they rode back from the offensive, but they had lost many men so they were “not the six hundred” any more. Canons behind and on both sides of the soldiers now assaulted them with shots and shells. As the brigade rode “back from the mouth of hell,” soldiers and horses collapsed; few remained to make the journey back. The world marvelled at the courage of the soldiers; indeed, their glory is undying: the poem states these noble 600 men remain worthy of honor and tribute today. 1


What two word name was given to the British civilian organisation created during the first and second world wars that involved women working in agriculture, replacing men who had been called up to the military?

Women in World War Two - History Learning Site History Learning Site   Home   »   The Role of British Women » Women in World War Two Women in World War Two Citation: C N Trueman "Women in World War Two" historylearningsite.co.uk . The History Learning Site , 17 Mar 2015. 16 Aug 2016. Women in World War Two As in World War One , women played a vital part in this country’s success in World War Two. But, as with World War One , women at the end of World War Two, found that the advances they had made were greatly reduced when the soldiers returned from fighting abroad. At the end of World War Two, those women who had found alternate employment from the normal for women, lost their jobs. The returning soldiers had to be found jobs and many wanted society to return to normal. Therefore by 1939, many young girls found employment in domestic service – 2 million of them, just as had happened in 1914. Wages were still only 25p a week. When women found employment in the Civil Service, in teaching and in medicine they had to leave when they got married. However, between the wars, they had got full voting equality with men when in 1928 a law was passed which stated that any person over the age of 21 could vote – male and female. The war once again gave women the opportunity to show what they could do. Evacuation: Young mothers with young children were evacuated from the cities considered to be in danger. In all, 3.5 million children were evacuated though many went with a teacher. As young children were normally taught by females, many of those who went with the children were women. The fact that women were seen to be the people who taught the youngest was something that had been going on for years. The Women’s Land Army: As in World War One , women were called on to help on the land and the Women’s Land Army (WLA) was re-formed in July 1939. Their work was vital as so many men were being called up into the military. WLA Service dress   In August 1940, only 7,000 women had joined but with the crisis caused by Hitler ’s U-boats, a huge drive went on from this date on to get more women working on the land. Even Churchill feared that the chaos caused by the U-boats to our supplies from America would starve out Britain. The government tried to make out that the work of the WLA was glamorous and adverts showed it as this. In fact, the work was hard and young women usually worked in isolated communities. Many lived in years old farm workers cottages without running water, electricity or gas. Winter, in particular, could be hard especially as the women had to break up the soil by hand ready for sowing. However, many of the women ate well as there was a plentiful supply of wild animals in the countryside – rabbit, hares, pheasant and partridges. They were paid 32 shillings a week – about £1.60. WLA women sawing wood in winter   In 1943, the shortage of women in the factories and on land lead to the government stopping women joining the armed forces. They were given a choice of either working on the land or in factories. Those who worked on land did a very valuable job for the British people. Factory Work: Many women decided that they would work in a factory. They worked in all manner of production ranging from making ammunition to uniforms to aeroplanes. The hours they worked were long and some women had to move to where the factories were. Those who moved away were paid more. Skilled women could earn £2.15 a week. To them this must have seemed a lot. But men doing the same work were paid more. In fact, it was not unknown for unskilled men to get more money that skilled female workers. This clearly was not acceptable and in 1943, women at the Rolls Royce factory in Glasgow went on strike. This was seen as being highly unpatriotic in time of war and when the female strikers went on a street demonstration in Glasgow, they were pelted with eggs and tomatoes (presumably rotten and inedible as rationing was still in) but the protesters soon stopped when they found out how little the women were being paid .The women had a part-victory as they retur

Way back in the 1860s, Joseph Hudson, who was originally a Farm Worker from Derbyshire who moved to Birmingham during the Industrial Revolution. He later trained as a toolmaker and converted his humble wash room at St. Mark’s Square, Birmingham which he rented for 1s. 6d. (one shilling and six pence per week) into a workshop where he could supplement the family income by watch repairing and to cobbling shoes. Joseph Hudson was well known as an inventor in Birmingham, England during the late 19th century and the founder of J Hudson & Co. in 1870 later to become the world largest whistle manufacturer. He entered a competition held by the Metropolitan police force in London in 1883 to design a better way of attracting people's attention. He won a contract to supply the police with their new devices, a small but loud 'Whistle'. Prior to this time the police force had to rely on hand rattles and whistles were only thought of as musical instruments or toys, his whistle is still used by the force and many others world side. He later invented the first referee whistle for football matches, prior to this handkerchiefs were used at games. Hudson also invented the 'Acme Thunderer' (first ever pea whistle) which has been, and remains, the most used whistle in the world, from train guards to dog handlers, party goers to police officers. Joseph Hudson set up his whistle factory in Birmingham, England in 1870. Around 1878, his ACME Whistles were the first to replace the handkerchiefs and sticks of football referees. In 1883 the Home Secretary invited competition from companies to replace the hand rattle that the London Metropolitan Police of the time relied on. Joseph Hudson, basing a new whistle on the sound he had heard when a violin broke from a fall, was awarded the contract for over 7,000 whistles. During testing on Clapham Common, the sound of the whistle was heard over a mile away. In 1884, the company continued their whistle revolution, inventing the first reliable pea-whistle, the ACME Thunderer which is still the most popular whistle today and has sold in the hundreds of millions. Today Acme whistles are recognized as some of the finest whistles manufactured in the world today. Jigsaw Puzzles – An English Iconic Game - 1776 I thought as Jigsaw Puzzles was invented by us English I thought I would tell its history. The first jigsaw was made by John Spilsbury (an Englishman) in 1766 who was a renowned mapmaker and engraver from London who mounted a map of England on a thin sheet of mahogany board, used a hand held fretsaw to cut round the county boundaries and sold the boxed pieces for children to assemble. They were known as "Dissected maps". Th

William Booth, a former Methodist Preacher who lived from 1829 to 1912 is probably best remembered for being the founder of which charity organisation in 1865 ?

Church History Review – Bite-sized chunks of yesterday to inspire faith today, with Lex Loizides Lex Loizides 2 Comments An adventure in the world’s most beautiful city. [i] In November 1875 three individuals met for prayer in Long Street, Cape Town. They wanted to start a church. CH Spurgeon, the great Baptist preacher After getting some advice they wrote to CH Spurgeon in London, who had begun a Pastor’s training college, and asked if he could send someone to lead the church-planting initiative. Spurgeon responded warmly and selected William Hamilton. Hamilton was clearly a leader amongst his peers and committed to evangelism. It was said of him, a ‘harmony between Calvinistic theology, evangelical activism, and Christian piety was a characteristic feature of Mr Hamilton’s ministry.’ On the basis of this faith-filled request from just three Christians, Hamilton got organised and set sail from London. The first Baptist Union leaders in South Africa The first Baptists had arrived in 1820 and had begun congregations in Grahamstown and other places. William Hamilton’s arrival represented a possible breakthrough in Cape Town itself. The man for Cape Town, William Hamilton Three months at sea After a three-month voyage, he arrived in Cape Town in November 1876 (a full year after Spurgeon received the letter of request). It’s difficult to imagine what a three-month journey by ship must have been like. But, considering missionary travels in the 19th century, we ought probably to be a little more gracious at the occasional forty-minute delay before our 12 hour flights to Europe. Hamilton held a meeting on the 12th November in the Temperance Hall, Long Street which gathered 60 curious people. Long Street, Cape town, c.1860 The church was constituted on the 19th November 1876 when just nine people agreed to become members by signing this covenant statement: ‘We do hold that the Scriptures of the Old and New Testaments to be our only rule of faith and guidance. The Scriptures teach the doctrines of the Trinity, man’s fall, redemption by the substitution of the Son of God, and regeneration by the Holy Spirit; the final judgement of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; the eternal reward of the righteous and eternal punishment of the wicked. While God, in His sovereign mercy, can call whom he will, the world is invited to embrace the Gospel. The Church of Christ, as set forth in the New Testament, is composed of those who trust alone to Christ for salvation, profess His name before the world, and obey the ordinances of Baptism and the Lord’s Supper. We shall endeavour to the utmost of our ability to further the cause of God among us by fervent prayer, diligent attendance on the means of grace, pecuniary assistance in support of the Ministry, and by trying to get others to attend the house of God.’ Sunday Services Soon the church grew and Hamilton was formally appointed as Pastor. Regular prayer meetings were held in a ‘portrait saloon’ in Caledon St, and Sunday services were started in the Oddfellows’ Hall in Plein Street. Plein Street, Cape Town, c.1870 Fruitfulness in evangelism Hamilton’s evangelistic zeal bore much fruit in Cape Town. Twenty-six conversions were reported as having taken place at one evening meeting. After a few years the church had grown to such an extent that they were able to build their first church facility. The site they chose was in Wale Street. The construction of the building took a while but was finally completed in 1882. I had discovered this building before relocating to Cape Town in my copy of Spurgeon’s The Sword and the Trowel. Like Spurgeon’s sermons, the Sword and the Trowel was bound into annual volumes Here is Spurgeon’s announcement of the completion of the Wale Street building: Wale Street Baptist Church, an engraving printed in Spurgeon’s the Sword and the Trowel The text, written by Spurgeon, reads: ‘Most of our readers must be familiar with the story of Mr. Hamilton’s work in Cape Town; for our pages have often contained notices of his self-denying and arduous labours. Leaving the Pastors’


Which painting of 1851 by Sir Edwin Landseer features a great stag/deer which stands on a rise among cloud-covered mountains?

Monarch of the Glen Home A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z Monarch of the Glen Monarch of the Glen is one of the most famous paintings completed by the English artist Sir Edwin Landseer (1802-1873). Lions might be king’s of the jungle but the message here is clear that this great stag deer is king of the glen. He stands on a rise in a glen among cloud-covered mountains. The magnificent animal surveys the viewer while exhibiting a quiet strength. It was painted in 1851 and was intended to be displayed in the refreshment-room of the House of Lords. The Commons refused the price. (The Famous Artists did not find the original asking price, but did find that the painting was later sold for 7,000 Pounds.) As of when we wrote this post, Monarch of the Glen was housed in the National Museum of Scotland. The world has Andrew McMillan to thank for making this photograph available and placing it into the public domain. If you think this painting looks familiar, that might be because The Hartford Insurance Company began using Landseer’s painting as their logo in 1875. While their logo is now a bit more modern, it still maintains a likeness to Landseer’s powerful and majestic stag.

Which two word titled film of 1971 sees Barry Newman as a car delivery seviceman named Kowalski who takes control of a 1970 Dodge Challenger car to take him from Colorado to San Francisco?

VISUP: April 2015 -- Primal Scream , " Long Life " Welcome to the third and final installment in my examination of the 1971 cult road movie Vanishing Point . With the first installment I briefly addressed the curious backgrounds of several of the individuals involved in the film as well as its enigmatic opening moments. With part two I began to get into the film in earnest, and broke down the early symbolism associated with its two lead characters, Kowalski ( Barry Newman ) and Super Soul ( Cleavon Little ). Effectively the former is a veteran and ex-police officer who had washed out of race car driving and has been coasting through life as a car delivery driver for the past few years. The latter is a blind African-American DJ operating from Goldfield, Nevada and a man with more than a few metaphysical leanings. Kowalski embarks upon what is seemingly a pointless cross country chase with police in Colorado, Nevada and California (Utah seems to have mysteriously vanished in this film) while Super Soul aids him via the airwaves. Kowalski (top) and Super Soul (bottom) For years this film has typically been dismissed as a "B-movie," but instances such as Super Soul referencing Brahman and his seeming ability to communicate with Kowalski telepathically in a film that largely goes for gritty realism tipped off the more astute viewers that there was something strange about this picture. This has led to a reevaluation of the film in recent years that hailed it as a classic of 1970s nihilism and existentialism even if it was allegedly "dated." In point of fact, this film has aged remarkably well and even seems down right prophetic in parts (especially in how Kowalski's chase becomes a gross media spectacle, thus echoing the rise of reality TV). And while the film certainly has its fair amount of nihilism and existentialism, these labels are far to narrow to encompass such a sweeping film. In point of fact, this film is a kind of psychodrama in which many motifs of the most ancient myths are transplanted into a fairly contemporary American setting. I already began to delve into this a bit in the prior installment and shall continue on that particular course here. So let's get to it. The chase begins at some point in Colorado when Kowalski refuses to pull over a for a motorcycle cop. This leads to a chase involving another officers that Kowalski easily wins. Soon other police officers join the chase and Kowalski finds himself using a construction zone and either lane on the highway to allude them. During this series of encounters he passes the exit sign for No Name, Colorado and even uses No Name Creek during one instance in the film. The use of No Name here is most interesting as Kowalski's first name is never revealed throughout the film. In the ancient world names were thought to hold tremendous power. "It should also be observed that some aspects of the invocation of the Name derived from the symbolism of sound and language. In fact, in Indian teaching, the Name (nama) is no different from the sound (shabda). The name of something is 'the sound produced by the activity of the mobile forces which comprise it....' Furthermore, to pronounce a name is in some sense effectually to 'create' or 'present' it. Name (nama) and form (rupa) determine its nature. Hence it is simple to deduce that naming a person or thing is the same as taking control of them. For this reason the Ancient Chinese attached enormous importance to the correct designation since the universal order derived from them. The School of Names ... carried these consequences to their extremes. Genesis 2: 19 also states that Adam was entrusted with the task of naming all living creatures. This was to grant him power over them and this power remains one of the characteristics of the paradisal state. "The ancient Egyptians believed that 'the personal name was much more than a means of identification.' It was an essential part of the person. The Egyptians believed in the creative and compelling power of the word. The name was a living thing.' All characteristics of the symbo


In which city was Martin Luther King assassinated in 1968 ?

Dr. King is assassinated - Apr 04, 1968 - HISTORY.com Dr. King is assassinated Publisher A+E Networks Just after 6 p.m. on April 4, 1968, Martin Luther King Jr. is fatally shot while standing on the balcony outside his second-story room at theLorraine Motelin Memphis, Tennessee. The civil rights leader was in Memphis to support a sanitation workers’ strike and was on his way to dinner when a bullet struck him in the jaw and severed his spinal cord. King was pronounced dead after his arrival at a Memphis hospital. He was 39 years old. In the months before his assassination, Martin Luther King became increasingly concerned with the problem of economic inequality in America. He organized a Poor People’s Campaign to focus on the issue, including an interracialpoor people’s marchon Washington, and in March 1968 traveled to Memphis in support of poorly treated African-American sanitation workers. On March 28, a workers’ protest march led by King ended in violence and the death of an African-American teenager. King left the city but vowed to return in early April to lead another demonstration. On April 3, back in Memphis, King gave his last sermon, saying, “We’ve got some difficult days ahead. But it really doesn’t matter with me now, because I’ve been to the mountaintop…And He’s allowed me to go up to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the Promised Land. I may not get there with you. But I want you to know tonight that we, as a people, will get to the promised land.” One day after speaking those words, Dr. King was shot and killed by a sniper. As word of the assassination spread, riots broke out in cities all across the United States and National Guard troops were deployed in Memphis and Washington, D.C. On April 9, King was laid to rest in his hometown of Atlanta, Georgia. Tens of thousands of people lined the streets to pay tribute to King’s casket as it passed by in a wooden farm cart drawn by two mules. The evening of King’s murder, a Remington .30-06 hunting rifle was found on the sidewalk beside a rooming house one block from the Lorraine Motel. During the next several weeks, the rifle, eyewitness reports, and fingerprints on the weapon all implicated a single suspect: escaped convict James Earl Ray. A two-bit criminal, Ray escaped a Missouri prison in April 1967 while serving a sentence for a holdup. In May 1968, a massive manhunt for Ray began. The FBI eventually determined that he had obtained a Canadian passport under a false identity, which at the time was relatively easy. On June 8, Scotland Yard investigators arrested Ray at a London airport. He was trying to fly to Belgium, with the eventual goal, he later admitted, of reaching Rhodesia. Rhodesia, now called Zimbabwe, was at the time ruled by an oppressive and internationally condemned white minority government. Extradited to the United States, Ray stood before a Memphis judge in March 1969 and pleaded guilty to King’s murder in order to avoid the electric chair. He was sentenced to 99 years in prison. Three days later, he attempted to withdraw his guilty plea, claiming he was innocent of King’s assassination and had been set up as a patsy in a larger conspiracy. He claimed that in 1967, a mysterious man named “Raoul” had approached him and recruited him into a gunrunning enterprise. On April 4, 1968, he said, he realized that he was to be the fall guy for the King assassination and fled to Canada. Ray’s motion was denied, as were his dozens of other requests for a trial during the next 29 years. During the 1990s, the widow and children of Martin Luther King Jr. spoke publicly in support of Ray and his claims, calling him innocent and speculating about an assassination conspiracy involving the U.S. government and military. U.S. authorities were, in conspiracists’ minds, implicated circumstantially. FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover obsessed over King, who he thought was under communist influence. For the last six years of his life, King underwent constant wiretapping and harassment by the FBI. Before his death, Dr. King was also monitored by U.S. milita


'Erinaceus Europaeus' is the latin name for which common creature?

Common Hedgehog - Erinaceus europaeus - Overview - Encyclopedia of Life Learn more about this article Description The hedgehog is one of our most instantly recognisable native mammals, as it is the only British mammal to have spines (2). They are also characterised by their fairly short tails, long legs and small ears (6). Young hedgehogs are born with a coat of soft, white spines, which are underneath the skin to protect the mother during birth, but emerge after a few hours (7). A second coat of dark spines emerges after about 36 hours, and later on a third set develops. By 11 days of age the young hedgehogs can curl into a ball, and after 14 days the eyes open (8).

33. ARRIVAL OF THE ENGLISH IN VIRGINIA ENGRAVING Plate 123 (a) The plate, entitled 'The arriual of the Englishemen in Virginia', is engraved by 'T.B.' (Theodor de Bry). It represents a map of the            coast of North Carolina, oriented to the            west, showing part of Pamlico Sound, Roanoke Island, the mouth of Albemarle Sound            and the Alligator River,            and part of Currituck Sound            with the Carolina Outer Banks,            divided into six islands. The mainland, at the top, on the left, is            named SECOTAN with, on the shore, an enclosed Indian village, Dasamonquepeuc, cornfields and conventionalized trees. The            other side of Albemarle Sound,            top right, is named WEAPEMEOC, with an            enclosed village, Pasquenoke, near the water's ed           ge, fields            of maize and similar trees with the addition of grapevines. In the            centre, left, Roanoke Island            has an enclosed village, Roanoac, with maize            fields at the right-hand end (north-east). Indians with            bows and arrows are shownemerging from the village            against an attacking party, and further to the left, amongst the            trees, which            are shown over much of the island, is a deer being stalked by an            Indian with            bow and arrow. Below, a fish-weir extends into the sound.            Numerous small            islands are shown off the upper and left coastline (south shore) of            Roanoke, and on the sounds            are a number of fishing canoes (several are also seen in            Albemarle Sound). A shoal is indicated across the mouth of            Albemarle Sound and extends into            Currituck Sound. Along the edge of the shoal an English pinnace is            shown making its way towards Roanoke Island.            She has three pairs of oars and a steering oar, a flag with the            cross of St George at the masthead, while perhaps ten figures are shown            standing and seated. The islands of the Carolina            Outer Banks extend across the middle of the engraving (from            south to north), the name Hatorasck being given to the first island or the first opening. All five openings are marked by shoals, the third being named Trinety harbor. The islands are shown as            moderately well-wooded. Conventionalized wrecks (bowsprit            and masts appearing above the water) are shown off each of the five inlets            through the Banks. Along the bottom, out at sea, a sea monster is shown and two            English ships at anchor, the larger on the left. 15.7 x 22.7 cm. or 6 1/8 x 9 in. De Bry, America, pt. I (1590), pl. II. Literature: Quinn, pp. 413-15, no. 32. Commentary Although there is no original drawing for this engraving it is close to the sketch of September,            1585, illustrated above (p. 53, fig. I). It combines the features of            the chart and the bird's-eye view and represents a compilation from some            of the field sketches made by Hariot and White in their partnership            in mapping the area, the final stage of which was the map ( no. 111, pl. 59 ).            See also Quinn, pp. 846-7. The right half of the sketch, roughly corresponding to the area shown            in the engraving, represents a very much less-developed stage in the            knowledge            of the area but a few features are carried over into the engraving,            for example the site of the village of

20 obsolete English words that should make a comeback - Matador Network 20 obsolete English words that should make a comeback Photo: Katherine Hodgson If we all start using them, these words can be resurrected. DURING MY UNDERGRADUATE studies as a Linguistics major, one of the things that struck me most is the amazing fluidity of language. New words are created; older words go out of style. Words can change meaning over time, vowel sounds shift, consonants are lost or added and one word becomes another. Living languages refuse to be static. The following words have sadly disappeared from modern English, but it’s easy to see how they could be incorporated into everyday conversation. Words are from Erin McKean’s two-volume series: Weird and Wonderful Words and Totally Weird and Wonderful Words . Definitions have been quoted from the Oxford English Dictionary . 1. Jargogle Verb trans. – “To confuse, jumble” – First of all this word is just fun to say in its various forms. John Locke used the word in a 1692 publication, writing “I fear, that the jumbling of those good and plausible Words in your Head..might a little jargogle your Thoughts…” I’m planning to use it next time my husband attempts to explain complicated Physics concepts to me for fun: “Seriously, I don’t need you to further jargogle my brain.” 2. Deliciate Verb intr. – “To take one’s pleasure, enjoy oneself, revel, luxuriate” – Often I feel the word “enjoy” just isn’t enough to describe an experience, and “revel” tends to conjure up images of people dancing and spinning around in circles – at least in my head. “Deliciate” would be a welcome addition to the modern English vocabulary, as in “After dinner, we deliciated in chocolate cream pie.” 3. Corrade Verb trans. – “To scrape together; to gather together from various sources” – I’m sure this wasn’t the original meaning of the word, but when I read the definition I immediately thought of copy-pasting. Any English teacher can picture what a corraded assignment looks like. 4. Kench Verb intr. – “To laugh loudly” – This Middle English word sounds like it would do well in describing one of those times when you inadvertently laugh out loud while reading a text message in class and manage to thoroughly embarrass yourself. 5. Ludibrious Adj. – “Apt to be a subject of jest or mockery” – This word describes a person, thing or situation that is likely to be the butt of jokes. Use it when you want to sound justified in poking fun at someone. “How could I resist? He’s just so ludibrious.” 6. Sanguinolency Noun – “Addiction to bloodshed” – Could be a useful word for history majors and gamers, as in “Genghis Khan was quite the sanguinolent fellow” or “Do you think spending six hours a day playing Postal 2 actually fosters sanguinolency?” 7. Jollux Noun – Slang phrase used in the late 18th century to describe a “fat person” – Although I’m not sure whether this word was used crudely or in more of a lighthearted manner, to me it sounds like a nicer way to refer to someone who is overweight. “Fat” has such a negative connotation in English, but if you say “He’s a bit of a jollux” it doesn’t sound so bad! 8. Malagrugrous Adj. – “Dismal” – This adjective is from Scots and may be derived from an old Irish word that refers to the wrinkling of one’s brow. An 1826 example of its use is “He looketh malagrugorous and world-wearied.” I’m tempted to also make the word into a noun: “Stop being such a malagrug!” 9. Brabble Verb – “To quarrel about trifles; esp. to quarrel noisily, brawl, squabble” – Brabble basically means to argue loudly about something that doesn’t really matter, as in “Why are we still brabbling about who left the dirty spoon on the kitchen table?” You can also use it as a noun: “Stop that ridiculous brabble and do something useful!” 10. Freck Verb intr. – “To move swiftly or nimbly” – I can think of a lot of ways to use this one, like “I hate it when I’m frecking through the airport and other people are going so slow.” For 10 more interesting obsolete words, go to the next page.

Which year of the 20th century saw the British General Strike?

History of London - 20th century London 20th century London BY DAVID ROSS , EDITOR The terrific population growth of the late Victorian period continued into the 20th century. In 1904 the first motor bus service in London began, followed by the first underground electric train in 1906, but perhaps more notable was the spate of new luxury hotels, department stores, and theatres which sprang up in the Edwardian years, particularly in the West End. The Ritz opened in 1906, Harrod's new Knightsbridge store in 1905, and Selfridges in 1907. New entertainment venues sprouted like mushrooms; with the London Palladium the largest of some 60 major halls for music-hall and variety shows. Admiralty Arch Several major building projects marked Edward VII's reign. The long, broad sweep of the Mall was designed by Aston Webb. Webb was also responsible for Admiralty Arch, the Queen Victoria memorial, and the east front of Buckingham Palace. Although the hardship of London during the Second World War is well known, it is easy to forget that WWI brought hardship as well to the city. In the Fall of 1915 the first Zeppelin bombs fell in London near the Guildhall, killing 39 people. In all, 650 fatalities resulted from bombings during the "War to End All Wars". Population surged after the war, to about 7.5 million in 1921. The London County Council began building new housing estates, which pushed further and further out into the countryside. Unemployment was high, and labour unrest erupted in the 1926 General Strike. So many workers joined the strike that the army was called in to keep the Underground and buses running, and to maintain order. In the 1930's large numbers of Jews emigrated to London, fleeing persecution in Europe, and most of them settled in the East End. The year 1938 saw movement out of the city; the threat from Germany was great enough that large numbers of children were moved out of London to the surrounding countryside. The outbreak of WWII precipitated the defining moment of the century for Londoners - the Blitz. During the dark days of 1940 over a third of the City was destroyed by German bombs, and the London Docks largely demolished. St. Paul's during the Blitz Some 17 of Christopher Wren's London churches were badly damaged. The area worst hit was the City itself, but strangely, St. Paul's Cathedral suffered only minor damage. Some 16 acres around the area that now houses the Barbican development and the Museum of London were totally flattened, and numerous historic buildings were destroyed. The death toll was heavy; 32,000 dead and over 50,000 badly injured. In the post-war period heavy immigration from countries of the old British Empire changed the character of the city. Notting Hill acquired a large Caribbean population, Honk Kong immigrants settled in Soho, Sikhs in Southall, and Cypriots in Finsbury. The Festival of Britain took place in 1951 on the centenary of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Whereas that first exhibition had left the legacy of the extraordinary Crystal Palace, the Festival left behind it the universally reviled concrete mass of the South Bank Arts complex. Heathrow airport opened to commercial flights in 1946, and the first double-decker red buses (dubbed the Routemaster) appeared on London roads in 1956. The London Docks declined after the war, and the formerly bustling area around the Isle of Dogs fell into disuse until rescued by modern development in the last decade. Thames Barrier Between 1972-82 the Thames Barrier was built to control flooding along the river. This amazing engineering feat consists of 10 moveable underwater gates supported by 7 shining steel half-domes strung across the river. The last great building project of the century was the controversial Millennium Dome, an exhibition centre beside the Thames in North Greenwich. The Dome, which opened on January 1, 2000, is a massive complex, built at a cost of over 750 million GBP. It houses, among other things, sponsored exhibits on the human experience of life, including Faith, Science, and biology. What to See:

Which cricket county finished runners-up to champions Warwickshire this year, despite losing only one match all season in Division One?

2005 english cricket season : definition of 2005 english cricket season and synonyms of 2005 english cricket season (English) 2006 → Before the beginning of the 2005 English cricket season began, a resurgent English cricket team had won four Test series in a row, going unbeaten through the 2004 calendar year. The start of the international season saw England defeat Bangladesh 2–0 in their two-match series, winning both Tests by an innings. This was followed by a tri-nations one-day tournament that also featured Australia . However, all eyes were on the Ashes . Australia still started as favourites, but England, for the first time in years, were expected to put up a real challenge to Aussie supremacy. Indeed, so they did, despite losing the first Test by 239 runs. England came back to win the second and fourth Tests, and draw the third and fifth, to win the Ashes for the first time since 1986–87 . Andrew Flintoff dominated with both bat and ball for England, scoring 402 runs – more than any Australian – and taking 24 wickets – more than any Australian bar Shane Warne . Warne also had a spectacular series, with 40 wickets at a bowling average of 19.92, and 249 runs, but most of his efforts came in losing causes – such as making 42 with the bat in the second innings of the second Test. In domestic cricket, Nottinghamshire won the County Championship , for the first time since 1987 , and Durham enjoyed promotion in both the shorter and the longer form of the game. Surrey , the 2000 and 2002 Championship winners, were relegated in the Championship, and played in Division Two in both the Championship and the National League in 2006 . Hampshire Hawks won the 50-over knock-out C&G Trophy , but were relegated in the National League , which Essex Eagles won in emphatic fashion, as they lost only one game and had a 14-point gap to the runners-up, Middlesex Crusaders . The Australian women also toured England at the same time as the men, and England won the Women's Ashes 1–0 after two Tests. However, the Australian women won the ODI series 3–2. To round off the season, investors in partnership with Leicestershire arranged an International 20:20 Club Championship , which Pakistani side Faisalabad Wolves won. Contents   April   Heath Streak of Warwickshire about to bowl to Cook on 10 April. The cricket season started early, on 8 April, with MCC playing the Champion County, or at least it would have done if the rain had not delayed the start till the next day. The other games played were all between the first-class counties and university sides. The first matches showed a bumper crop of centuries, with little joy for bowlers, but there were no surprises. The MCC ended up beating Warwickshire . Away from the cricket field, on 8 April the ECB announced that triangular One Day International tournaments would no longer be played in England. On 11 April Kevin Pietersen , England's South African-born all-rounder was reported to have a foot injury that could see him miss the start of the season, and Chris Schofield began his case for unfair dismissal against Lancashire , which he eventually won. The first round of the Frizzell County Championship saw Warwickshire gain maximum points, with Hampshire also winning in Division One. Durham replicated Warwickshire's feat in Division Two, where Worcestershire also won. The first round of the totesport National Cricket League was held on 17 April, though most of the games were affected by the rain. 5 results were possible in the 8 matches. Rain continued to bedevil the second round of the County Championship, with only Yorkshire and Durham securing wins. In the MCC University matches, Bradford/Leeds UCCE shocked an injury-weakened Surrey by beating them at the Oval .   Bradford/Leeds UCCE celebrate after beating Surrey The second round of the totesport League saw a heavy defeat for Surrey away to Durham , with other wins for Northamptonshire , Middlesex , Kent and Sussex , which left Middlesex and Durham at the top of the tables at the end of April. In the third round of the Championship, Surrey thra
