Wikijunior:Kings and Queens of England/The Whole Book - Wikibooks, open books for an open world Wikijunior:Kings and Queens of England/The Whole Book From Wikibooks, open books for an open world This is the latest reviewed version , approved on 25 September 2016. (+)  Quality: good   Introduction[ edit ] Welcome to the Wikijunior book on Kings and Queens of England. In this book we start by looking at the very first Anglo-Saxon Kings of England. We then move on to show how the Crown changed hands many times as a result of conquest. We see some powerful kings and some weak ones. We see how the Crown has battled Parliament. We look at the period where power finally did transfer to Parliament through to the times of our current queen, Elizabeth II. At the end we also look at who the next kings of England may be. We will find out about eleven Kings called Edward and nine called Henry. We will find out about a nine-day queen and a King Philip, who most people have now forgotten about. But first let's start way back in 871 with the Anglo-Saxons and the only king of England to be called "Great," Alfred. The Anglo-Saxons (871-1016)[ edit ] Our history of the kings of England starts with the Anglo-Saxons, at the beginning of the 9th century. Because it was so long ago, the dates, and even the years are uncertain. At this point in time, England, as you know it, doesn't exist yet. The land is divided into several small kingdoms, and the people who live there are called Anglo-Saxons. It was during this time, around the year 830, that the Vikings realized that England was a very interesting country to loot and plunder. Between 830 and 865 they came by more and more often, much to the dismay of the people living there. In 865 these Vikings formed a "Great Army". While their previous raids were aimed at looting and plundering, the Great Army was sent to actually conquer England. They were surprisingly good at that - in only three years they had conquered northern and eastern England. Even in the west, one by one the small kingdoms fell until only one of them remained independent. It was the kingdom of Wessex. It's here that we find Alfred the Great, the first of the Kings and Queens of England. Alfred the Great (871-899)[ edit ] King Alfred the Great Alfred the Great was born around 850 in Wantage, in what is now Oxfordshire. Alfred was the fourth son of King Ethelwulf of Wessex. He became king of the southern Anglo-Saxon kingdom of Wessex in 871, when his brother Ethelred I died. When the Danish Vikings had conquered most of England, they finally came to Wessex. Alfred had only just been crowned, and now had to face the invaders at his borders. During a fierce series of battles, he managed to drive them from Wessex. Defeated, the Vikings retreated. However, seven years later they returned in full force. In May of 878, Alfred had to confront his enemies once more, and crushingly defeated them near Edington in Wiltshire. This victory earned him the name "the Great", making him the only English monarch called by that name. With the Danes defeated, the way was cleared to unite England. By building a system of fortifications, the kingdom of Wessex managed to expand its borders. Alfred encouraged education, being educated himself, and improved the kingdom's laws. Under his guidance, the kingdom began to prosper. Public life[ edit ] Very little is known about what Alfred did during the short reigns of his two eldest brothers, but when his third brother, Ethelred, became king in 866, Alfred became active in public life. In particular, he worked hard to free England from the influence of the Danes, and Alfred was appointed as Ethelred's successor. In 868, Alfred tried unsuccessfully to relieve the central English kingdom of Mercia from Danish influence. For nearly two years after, though, the Danes did not attack Alfred's native Wessex. At the end of 870 this era of peace ended, and the next period of time became known as "Alfred's year of battles". The Kingdom of Wessex fought nine battles in 870 and 871, winning some, and losing others. In A

French Open - Roland Garros Fixture French Open - Roland Garros History History of Roland-Garros The first tournament was held in 1891, and was then called the French Championships. The competition was limited to French players in its first 34 years; then, in 1925, foreign players were allowed entry, and the tournament changed its name to the French Internationals. Until 1925 the tournament was held in several venues throughout Paris; in that year it found its permanent home in the new Stade Roland Garros, which gave the tournament its nickname. During WWII, Roland Garros had no choice but to suspend its activity. In the late 1960s, the Open Era in tennis had begun, with Roland-Garros being the first Grand Slam tournament to go open (allowing professionals as well as amateurs to compete). Another historic event occurred in 2007 as it was announced that the tournament would give equal prize money for both men and women, in all rounds. The Most Successful Players in Roland-Garros History Following is the list of players who won the most titles in Roland-Garros (since 1967): Winner of most men's singles titles – Rafael Nadal, with 9 titles (most recently in 2014) Winners of most men's doubles titles – Daniel Nestor and Max Mirnyi, with 4 titles each. Winner of most men's mixed doubles titles (since 1925) – Ken Fletcher and Jean-Claude Barclay with 3 titles each. Winner of most titles (men's singles, doubles, mixed) – Rafael Nadal, with 9 titles. Winner of most women's singles titles – Chris Evert, with 7 titles (most recently in 1986). Winner of most women's doubles titles – Martina Navratilova, with 7 titles (most recently in 1988). Winner of most women's mixed doubles titles - Françoise Dürr, with 3 titles (most recently in 1973). Winner of most titles (women's singles, doubles, mixed) – Martina Navratilova, with 11 titles.   Memorable Moments in Roland-Garros History Here are several moments in Roland-Garros history no tennis fan will ever forget: Chand/Lendl 1989 – In this 1989 game, 17-year-old Michael Chang seemed no match for the formidable Ivan Lendl. But using tactics such as lobbing the ball, standing close to the service line and serving underhand, he managed to unnerve Lendl and win the game, becoming the youngest French Open champion ever. Hingis/Graff 1999 – This game was the last Grand Slam Steffi Grand would win, and it was one of the most dramatic in French Open history: it included Graff winning a 32 stroke rally when Hingis tried to serve out, an very long bathroom break taken by Hingis, and Hingis leaving the court after losing and having to be persuaded to come back. Federer/Nadal 2005 – a double celebration occurred on Nadal's 19th birthday as he managed to beat Federer in an enthralling semi-final match, showcasing his stellar defensive play. Nadal went on to win the championship.

Psilocybin (pronounced 'sillasybin') is the natural active ingredient of?

EMCDDA | Hallucinogenic mushrooms profile (chemistry, effects, other names (magic mushrooms, shrooms…), origin, mode of use, other names, medical use, control status) Further reading Photo: istockphoto ‘Hallucinogenic mushrooms’ is the name commonly given to psychoactive fungi, containing hallucinogenic compounds, most commonly psilocybin and psilocin. At low doses, hallucinogenic drugs have as their primary effects perceptual distortions and alterations of thought, or mood, with the presence of lucid awareness and minimal effects on memory and orientation. Despite their name, the use of hallucinogenic drugs rarely results in true hallucinations . The hallucinogens are a chemically diverse class. Grouping the hallucinogens based on their chemical structure includes, but is not limited to, three major classes: indolealkylamines or tryptamines (e.g. LSD , psilocybine and psilocin), phenethylamines , including mescaline and methylenedioxymethamphetamine ( MDMA ); and cannabinoids. Chemistry Psilocybin (PY, 4-phosphoryloxy-N,N-dimethyltryptamine) is the main psychoactive principle of hallucinogenic mushrooms. After ingestion, psilocybin is converted into the pharmacologically active form psilocin. Psilocin itself is also present in the mushroom, but in smaller amounts. Psilocybin and psilocin are both indolealkylamines and structurally similar to the neurotransmitter serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT). Besides psilocybin and psilocin, two further tryptamines — baeocystin and norbaeocystin — could also be present but are thought to be less active than the former two. Psilocybin (psilocybine, psilocibina, psilocybinum, psylosybiini) ( CAS -number: 520-52-5) is 4-phosphoryloxy-NN-dimethyltryptamine. According to IUPAC , the fully systematic chemical name is [3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-yl] dihydrogen phosphate. Psilocybin is the dihydrogen phospate of psilocin. Psilocybin is soluble in water, moderately soluble in methanol and ethanol, and insoluble in most organic solvents. Psilocybin is a prodrug of psilocin, in vivo the molecule is metabolised into psilocin by dephosphorylation. Molecular structure of psilocybin Molecular formula: C12H17N204P Molecular weight: 284.3 g/mol Psilocin (psilocine, psilocyn) ( CAS -number 520-53-6) is 4-hydroxy-NN-dimethyltryptamine (4-OH-DMT) or alternatively 3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)indol-4-ol. According to IUPAC , the fully systematic chemical name is 3-(2-dimethylaminoethyl)-1H-indol-4-ol. Psilocin is an isomer of bufotenine , it differs only in the position of the hydroxylgroup. Psilocin is relatively unstable in solution. Under alkaline conditions in the presence of oxygen it immediately forms bluish and black degradation products. Molecular structure of psilocin top of page Physical form Hallucinogenic mushrooms are available in fresh form, treated/preserved (e.g. deliberately dried, cooked, frozen) or even as dry powders or capsules. The fungi containing psilocybin and psilocin mainly belong to the genuses Psilocybe, Panaeolus and Copelandia and their number exceeds 50 species. Most of the mushrooms containing psilocybin are small brown or tan mushrooms. In the wild, these mushrooms are easily mistaken for any number of non-psychoactive, inedible, or poisonous mushrooms. This makes them difficult, and potentially hazardous, to identify. Because it is difficult to distinguish non-psilocybin species from the hallucinogenic ones by morphological observation in the wild, psilocybin-containing mushrooms may also be easily ingested unintentionally. Hallucinogenic mushrooms resemble the common store mushroom Agaricus bisporus, although the flesh of Psilocybe mushrooms characteristically turns blue or green when bruised or cut. An identification method based on a genetic approach has been developed. A different species of mushroom, Amanita muscaria (fly agaric), produces a state of delirium that also includes hallucinations, but its primary active agents are muscimol and ibotenic acid . top of page Pharmacology Psilocin mainly interacts with 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A and 5-HT2C receptor subtypes:

It is not so common that technology and architectural design come together in a marriage of complementing opposites that create a unique object of art.

Its acoustic qualities make it one of the three best-sounding repeaters created during the last decade. It is capable of producing crisp and clear sounds with both richness and intensity. The gongs are made of sapphire—the same material that forms the upper crystal itself, which helps to enhance the sound. The acoustic potential of the crystalline material is immediately made apparent to the true connoisseur. Through innovative design Chopard has managed to simplify the mechanism behind the movement without compromising the harmony of the sub-frequencies produced by metal-on-metal contact in the case and movement. A detailed glimpse of the case reveals an elaborate series of safety systems that protect the movement and smooth the operation of the strike mechanism. The openwork format of the case works well with the architectural design of the piece, which along its sound qualities and idea-based achievement easily make the Full Strike the most collectible watch Chopard has ever built.

What took place near Brussels, celebrated and re-enacted for its 200th anniversary in June 2015?

Royal Family to honour the 200th anniversary of Waterloo at St Paul’s Service – Royal Central Welsh Guards celebrate 100 years since founding Members of the Royal Family are expected to attend an anniversary service at St Paul’s Cathedral to honour the Battle of Waterloo later this year. The service, which is due to happen on 18th June, will commemorate 200 years to the day that the battle took place. The conflict saw the Duke of Wellington’s forces clash with the French army, commanded by Napoleon. The Royal Family will also be joined by various heads of Government and their ambassadors, alongside a military cohort. The battlefield, around 9.5 miles south of Brussels, saw at least 65,000 men lose their lives across both sides, and at least 200 descendants of those will also be present at the service. The 8th Duke of Wellington, a descendent of the 1st Duke, sadly passed away at the age of 99 in December last year. The commemorations will also include a reenactment of the moment that the news of the victory was delivered to London. At the time, King George III was incapacitated and his son was the acting Prince Regent. He was attending a private party near the Pall Mall when the news finally arrived from Belgium. Major Henry Percy of the 14th Light Dragoons, travelled from overseas without a break from battle, to deliver The Duke of Wellington’s official despatch along with two standards, bearing the French regimental eagles. The actor playing Percy will march up the steps of the-then private residence (now the East India Club), with an eagle in each hand, and lay them on the floor. It is hoped that a member of the Royal Family will reprise the role of The Prince Regent. A variety of events are planned to mark the historic battle including a display of artefacts from the era which are being shown at Windsor Castle later this month . One of the highlights of the exhibition will be a cloak of Napoleon’s which was seized as his carriage fled after the end of the battle. Visitors will also be able to see the letters to the Prince Regent from Wellington and Napoleon, which proclaim victory and defeat. Major General Sir Evelyn Webb-Carter who is Chairman of Waterloo 200, a project aimed at increasing awareness of the battle, spoke about its importance: “This is about trying to educate the young and anyone who is interested about why this anniversary is so important. “The Battle of Waterloo brought an end to a very long war which had run for 22 years and was known at the time as the Great War. “It heralded the start of a much more stable Europe and set in train the building of the nation states of Europe which we know now. The battle was a full stop in European history.” Royal Central will provide coverage of the various events for the anniversary as they are announced. A short primer of the battle, its causes and consequences is available to read here . Featured Image Credit: Ben251988 PLEASE ADD ME THANK YOU British Royals latest


Poets' Corner, which commemorates and contains remains of writers, is in which London building?

Westminster Abbey » Abbey Treasures Home > Visit Us >             Abbey Treasures The North Transept The north transept became known as Statesmen's Aisle following the burial of Prime Minister William Pitt, Earl of Chatham in 1778. The stained glass in the north rose window was designed by Sir James Thornhill in 1722, although it was altered in the late 19th century by J.L.Pearson. The three small chapels on the eastern side of this transept contain some fascinating monuments including that by Roubiliac to Lady Elizabeth Nightingale (pictured) which shows a skeletal figure of Death emerging from a cavern to aim his dart at the dying lady. In the north ambulatory can be found the large memorial to General James Wolfe. Famous People in this location General James Wolfe The upper Islip chapel was dedicated as the Nurses Memorial chapel in 1950 in memory of UK and Commonwealth nurses who died in the 1939-45 war (this chapel can be viewed on application to the information desk). Many fine Elizabethan monuments can be seen in St John the Baptist's chapel and St Paul's chapel, including the tallest monument in the Abbey (36 feet) to Henry Carey, Lord Hunsdon. The Nave When Henry III died in 1272 the building of the Gothic Abbey was not complete and part of the Norman nave remained attached to the new work. The present nave was nearly 150 years in building. It was begun in 1376 by Abbot Nicholas Litlyngton, who financed the work with money left by his predecessor Cardinal Simon Langham. The master mason was the great Henry Yevele, who followed closely the earlier Gothic style of architecture. Flying buttresses on the exterior took the thrust of the walls and enabled the roof to be raised to a height of 101 feet (31 metres). Richard II and Henry V later provided finance to continue the building but it was not finished until 1517, when the west window was glazed. The choir screen has a monument to Sir Isaac Newton, in an area often referred to as Scientists Corner. The West Window The present stained glass in the west window dates from 1735. The design is probably by Sir James Thornhill and the work was carried out by the glass-painter William Price. The design shows Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and fourteen prophets. At the base are the coats of arms of King Sebert, Elizabeth I, George II, Dean Wilcocks (the Dean at the time) and the City of Westminster. Just below this window you find the grave of the Unknown Warrior which commemorates the many thousands killed in the 1914-18 war who have no grave. The Waterford crystal chandeliers were the gift of the Guinness family for the Abbey's 900th anniversary in 1965. In front of the votive candle stands are two icons, one depicting Christ and the other showing the Blessed Virgin Mary with the Christ Child. These were painted by Sergei Federov and installed in 1994. Near the entrance to St George’s chapel (which is set aside for private prayer) is the earliest known contemporary portrait of an English king, Richard II, painted in about 1395. In a case nearby are seven volumes which form the Roll of Honour of the Civilian War Dead 1939-45. Famous People in this location View the Cosmati Pavement website The shrine of St. Edward the Confessor The Chapel containing the shrine of St. Edward the Confessor, lies east of the Sanctuary at the heart of the Abbey. It is closed off from the west by a stone screen, probably of 15th century date, carved with scenes from the Confessor's life. Work is in progress to conserve the floor of this chapel and during this time public access is restricted. An earlier shrine had been erected in 1163, after the Confessor had been canonised. When Henry III rebuilt Edward's Abbey he prepared a new shrine, bringing workmen from Italy. Peter the Roman was the chief artist. On 13 October 1269 the body was brought in solemn procession to its new resting place. The shrine seen today is only a shadow of its former self. It originally had three parts: a stone base decorated with Cosmati work, a gold feretory containing the saint's coffin, and a canopy above it,


Name the celebrity entrepreneur who sought to be US Republican presidential candidate in 2015?

Presidential Candidates 2016 Businessman and former Governor of Massachusetts   Bill Weld There was a time when Gov. William Weld was considered as one of the rising stars of the Republican Party. He was a fearless prosecutor, and had an astonishing conviction record in corruption cases while serving as District Attorney for Massachusetts and head of the Criminal Division of the Justice Department. However, his ascension finally grounded to a halt in 1997 when one of the many toes he stepped on interfered with his Senate hearing as U.S. Ambassador to Mexico. He’s launched a couple of comeback attempts since, but the marijuana decriminalization advocate’s nomination as the Libertarian Party’s vice presidential candidate is his first foray into national politics in about 20 years. 2016 Veterans Party of America Presidential Nominee Aircraft Maintenance Professional Chris Keniston Chris Keniston is a former military man, the third in a line of military service members in his bloodline dating back to his grandfather. His primary focus is on the creation of jobs, and his proposals for accomplishing this concern encouraging business and reforming the existing tax code – including by repeal of the 16th Amendment. 2016 Green Party Presidential Nominee Physician, Reformer, Environmental Activist Jill Stein Dr. Jill Stein, a Harvard-trained physician, has emerged as the favorite protest candidate of the progressive grassroots. Her stances on single-payer health care, campaign finance reforms and student loan debt forgiveness, and her refusal to accept money from corporate donors have resonated with millennials. Dr. Stein’s current polling numbers suggest that she is well on track to match – and even surpass – Ralph Nader’s performance in 2000 presidential election. Declared 2016 Independent Presidential Candidate Management and Market Research Ed Baker Dissatisfied with the job done by entrenched career politicians from both parties, Ed Baker has bold ideas to resolve a variety of issues including crime, spending and immigration. Conservatives, independents and progressives can all find common ground with at least one of Bakers positions. Declared 2016 Independent Presidential Candidate Software Engineer David Boarman David Boarman has always believed in the Christian God – he just never acted like it until the age of 44, when a personal crisis brought on an intense devotion to his faith. Today, he's running for President because he's convinced that's what Gods wants him to do. He's a right-wing candidate with a strong emphasis on religious freedom. Declared 2016 Independent Presidential Candidate Music Lover Brian Briggs Brian Briggs fancies himself the “average guy” that America needs as President. An Independent, he is beholden to neither major party, and his platform borrows from both.

Inspired largely by John Calvin, the Hugeunots minorities of the 16th century were?

Ichthus Fellowship Ministry: Huguenot Ichthus Fellowship Ministry Huguenot The Huguenot A Huguenot is a member of a French Protestant denomination with origins in the 16th or 17th centuries. Historically, Huguenots were French Protestants inspired by the writings of John Calvin (Jean Calvin in French) in the 1530s, who became known by that originally derisive designation by the end of the 16th century. The majority of Huguenots endorsed the Reformed tradition of Protestantism. The Huguenots were persecuted for their religion and many emigrated to what would become Canada, the UK, the Americas, Australia and New Zealand, as well as other tolerant European nations. Many Americans who are researching their family history find Huguenot ancestors in their lineage. The Huguenot cross is a sign of this lineage, as well as a show of solidarity for people suffering religious persecution all over the world. Huguenot numbers peaked near an estimated two million by 1562, concentrated mainly in the southern and central parts of France, about one-eighth the number of French Catholics. As Huguenots gained influence and more openly displayed their faith, Catholic hostility grew, in spite of increasingly liberal political concessions and edicts of toleration from the French crown. A series of religious conflicts followed, known as the Wars of Religion, fought intermittently from 1562 to 1598. The wars finally ended with the granting of the Edict of Nantes, which granted the Huguenots substantial religious, political and military autonomy. Signed by Henry IV of France at Nantes on April 13th, 1598, the edict put a temporary end to the ferocious religious wars between Roman Catholics and Protestants which had torn France apart since the 1560s. Of the numerous assassinations and atrocities carried out by both sides, the most notorious was the St Bartholomew’s Day massacre of Protestants in Paris in 1572. The French Calvinists, who were known as Huguenots, were only in a minority in France, but they had created a virtual state within a state and held numerous fortified towns. Now, after skillful persuasion by Catholic diplomats and much hard bargaining, they accepted a document of ninety-two articles granting them a measure of religious toleration as well as social and political equality. Huguenots were to be entitled to worship freely everywhere in France in private, and publicly in some 200 named towns and on the estates of Protestant landowners. They were permitted to inherit property, engage in trade, attend all schools and universities, and be treated in hospitals on the same basis as everyone else. There was a full amnesty for crimes committed during the wars by both sides and in secret articles, signed on May 2nd, the government agreed to pay the Protestant pastors and subsidize the garrisons of some fifty Huguenot fortified towns. Catholic opponents of the edict were gradually won over and the eventual outcome of what had been virtually a prolonged civil war was the strengthening of the French monarchy, which was able to neutralize the two rival factions. Henry IV, king of the Pyrennean statelet of Navarre, came from a junior branch of the royal Valois dynasty of France. He succeeded to the French throne in 1589 after the murder of his predecessor, Henry III, by a Catholic fanatic. He was the first of the Bourbon kings of France and, though himself a notable Protestant leader, four years after succeeding to the throne he became a Roman Catholic because that was the religion of the great majority of his subjects and, in his famous remark, he considered Paris well worth a mass. Some historians regard the Edict of Nantes as an equally cynical stratagem to draw the Huguenot sting, as in fact it did. Protestantism weakened in France after 1598 until eventually Louis XIV’s revocation of the edict in 1685 led to mass emigration of Huguenots to England and other countries. Renewed religious warfare in the 1620s caused the political and military privileges of the Huguenots to be abolished following their defeat. They retained the religious


The piddock (Pholadidae and 'angelwings') is a rock-boring?

Pholadidae P Pholadidae Pholadidae, known as piddocks or angelwings, are a family of bivalve mollusc similar to a clam ; however, they are unique in that each side of their shells are divided into 2 or 3 separate sections. Furthermore, one of the piddock's shells has a set of ridges or "teeth", which they use to grind away at clay or soft rock and create tubular burrows. The shape of these burrows is due to the rotating motion of the piddock as it grinds the rock to make its home. The piddock stays in the burrow it digs for the entirety of its eight year lifespan, with only its siphon exposed to take in water that it filters for food. When the piddock dies and leaves an empty tubular burrow, other marine life such as sea anemone , crabs and other molluscs may use the burrow. Some species of Pholadidae may reach up to seven inches. Their coloration is typically white, though through consumption of red tide algae some may develop a pink coloration. The angelwing species Cyrtopleura costata has approximately 26 radiating ribs. Growth lines run horizontally over the surface of the shell. Angelwings have a spoon-shaped brace under the beak of the shell, called the apophysis, where the mollusc's foot muscles are attached. Cyrtopleura costata possesses long siphons which protrude from its burrow and circulate water as the source for its food supply. It cannot retract its siphons into the protection of its shell, so the two valves can never shut completely. The muscles fusing the shell's valves together are weak, making it rare to find angelwings with both halves still intact. Some shell hunters dig for the living clam, and if dug up, the fragile shell must be placed immediately into a container of water or it will close and shatter. The angelwing's shell is popular with collectors, as well as a delicious food staple. The angelwing lives offshore and in estuaries, sometimes as much as three feet deep in the mud or clay. The Atlantic mud-piddock, Barnea truncata, often referred to as the fallen angelwing, is classed among the angelwing varieties, growing up to 2¼ inches and is similar to other angelwings but with weaker sculpture. One end is squared off and the other end pointed. Loose accessory plates are located above the hinge on live specimens. It possesses a white exterior and interior. It burrows into mud, clay or softwood. Occasionally it is washed onto sounds and ocean beaches, and has a habitat range from Maine to Brazil . This fragile shell is rarely dug from mud without breaking. It burrows deeply and has long, united siphons. The false angelwing Petricola pholadiformis, is also classed among varieties of angelwing, growing up to 2¾ inches. It has a thin, elongate shell resembling a small angelwing but lacks the rolled-out hinge area. Its beak is at one end of the shell with strong radial ribbing on the beak end. Teeth are located on hinge and a deep pallial sinus and partially united siphons. It has a white exterior and interior. It typically burrows into hard surfaces such as clay or peat in intertidal zones. It is commonly found on sounds and ocean beaches with a range from Canada to Uruguay . The common piddock (Pholas dactylus) is known for its bioluminescence and was investigated by Raphaël Dubois in his 1887 discovery of luciferin . Genera and species

Watch 13 - 19 June 2016 Held at The Queen's Club, London, the Aegon Championship has been voted ATP World Tour 500 Tournament of the Year. It is the third successive year that the Aegon Championships has received an ATP Tournament of the Year award, and comes after the event’s first year as an ATP 500 event. Featuring the world’s best men’s singles and doubles players, it’s the first chance of the season for most players to switch from clay to grass courts. The tournament is also keenly watched as it’s known as a key indicator for Wimbledon - with 25 of the last 27 Wimbledon champions having played in it. This year's tournament was one of the most exciting yet with top players from around the globe competing. Andy Murray wrote himself into the record books once again by beating Milos Raonic to win the Aegon Championships for a fifth time winning 6-7(5), 6-4, 6-3. Andy Murray is the first man to ever win the Aegon Championships at The Queen’s Club five times Recent history of the Championships Andy Murray, who with his fifth title now overtakes the likes of Lleyton Hewitt, John McEnroe, Boris Becker and Andy Roddick, said: “It's a tournament that obviously means a lot to me. It's been my most successful tournament, by far, clearly.” The Queen’s Club It’s part of the establishment now, but when it was established in 1886, The Queen’s Club was one of Britain’s first multi-sport clubs. A diverse club - as well as tennis, it still caters for squash, real tennis (the game from which tennis evolved) and rackets.

Foreword by Lucien Engelen In fifty years from now, I expect more than 50% of the revenue in healthcare will come from companies that do not exist, or do not have any business in healthcare today. Technological developments as well as changes in society will create the 5th democratization. After music, travel, retail and media; healthcare is next to be disrupted. Adding to that, the increasing patient empowerment brings in “the perfect storm” for health(care). In my keynotes I often use the 4D anagram: Delocalization, Digitalization, Dollars and Democratization. Because they are all tied together and starting to peak at somewhat the same time, it creates the ideal eco–system for autonomous change. Change that will hit health(care) for a lot of people ‚overnight’, not that this wasn’t foreseeable, but the signs have been neglected over and over again. Medicine is starting to adopt new treatments, medications and protocols but is lacking far behind where it goes on reflecting on the model of health(care). We


Diegesis refers to what in a film, play, story, etc? Cast of characters; Plot; Suspense; or Laughter coefficient?

Survival KIT - Varieur Film Studies Varieur Film Studies Viewing Films and Taking Notes  Below are several suggestions/tips for what to look for when watching a film: http://www.wwnorton.com/college/film/movies3/writingaboutmovies.aspx *Don't take you eyes off the screen while you're taking notes. *Figure out who the main character(s) are, what his/her goal is, and how he/she accomplishes it or not=conflicts. *How does it open? How does it end? *Make notes succinct and make rough sketches of sequences, shots, scenes to return to later. *Make a note of the time of each important shot. For instance, write 09:43 so you can ask questions in class or re-watch that sequence at home. *Write down any quotes from the film that you found interesting, moving, important, symbolic, etc. Remember all films begin with a story/screenplay. *Organize your notes by the film's plot or narrative system. Try to break the film down by scenes, locations, time, character, etc. Plot vs. Story. Depth vs Range. *Talk about it with others. What film did it remind you? Why? How? Formulate ideas. What did you like about it? What didn't you like? How did you feel? Why? How did the film look? What is it about? What does the film say about people? life? love? truth? the world? the universe? Figure out what you know, what you don't know, and what you still need to know. Is it knowable? *WHO? WHAT? WHY? WHEN? WHERE? HOW? Tie these questions to elements and terms. For example, When was voice-over used? Why? How? or Where did flashback occur? What did we learn? About Whom? *Who made it? When? Genre? What does it say about society? Values? What can learn about history? culture? politics? psychology? **See specific elements for the unit you are studying such as editing, cinematography, genre, etc. Printable Version Below: Article on How to Read a Film: Prof. Michael Goldberg Some suggestions on "how to read a film" The film critic Christian Metz has written "A film is difficult to explain because it is easy to understand." We are used to sitting back in the dark and viewing a film uncritically; indeed, most Hollywood films are constructed to render “invisible” the carefully constructed nature of the medium. Further, because a film is constructed of visual, aural, and linguistic components that are manipulated in numerous ways, it is a challenge to take apart the totality of the film experience and to interpret how that experience was assembled. Below you will find brief explanations of ways to analyze the  language of film. While this list is not comprehensive, it does contain a lot  of information. If film interpretation is new to you, you will not be able to  keep track of all these elements while viewing the film—this is an acquired  skill. Concentrate at first on a few things that seem to offer the most opportunity  for critical reading. If viewing the film only once, try to take notes in shorthand  while watching the film. Arrows can be used to note camera angle and camera  movement; quick sketches can be used to note shot composition and elements of  mise-en-scene. As soon as possible after viewing the film, write out your impressions  of the film, noting the most important elements. If you will be writing on the  film and will be seeing it again, take minimal notes the first time through  (although do note important scenes you will want to return to) but still maintain  a critical distance. When analyzing a film as a historical document, keep in mind  the film's contemporary audiences or authors. Your own personal reaction to  the film may serve as a starting point, but you need to convert these impressions  into historical analysis—how are you different and similar to the historical  audiences/authors? What has changed and what has stayed the same? Remember too  the technological changes that have taken place, and keep in mind what audiences  would have expected, and how film makers used the technology at their disposal.  It is especially important to consider substantial changes in the manner of  presentation if


The rhea is a large South American species of?

Greater Rheas, Greater Rhea Pictures, Greater Rhea Facts - National Geographic Size relative to a 6-ft (2-m) man Please add a "relative" entry to your dictionary. These large South American birds roam the open pampas and sparse woodlands of Argentina and Brazil. The greater rhea is the largest of all South American birds and is related to ostriches and emus. These flightless birds use their long, powerful legs to outrun trouble. Although their large wings are useless for flight, they are used for balance and for changing direction as the bird runs. Greater rheas are polygamous, so males have many different mates. Females lay their eggs—one every other day for a week or ten days—in a ground nest of the male's design. Several females deposit their eggs in the same nest, which may hold 50 eggs or more. The male rhea incubates the eggs of all its mates for six weeks and cares for the newly hatched young. They aggressively guard their young during this period and will charge any animal—even a female rhea—that approaches too closely. Males are solitary in the spring breeding season, but in winter, rheas are social and flock together. They often congregate with other large animals, such as deer and guanacos, and form mixed herds. Greater rheas are opportunistic eaters. They enjoy plants, fruits, and seeds but also eat insects, lizards, birds, and other small game. Rheas have a taste for agricultural crops, which earns them the ire of many South American farmers. As more open grasslands are converted to farmland, this problem grows. Rhea eggs are collected for food and many people eat their meat. Their skins are used in the manufacture of leather, and hunting to supply this trade has thinned their numbers considerably. Today, regulations have limited both hunting and farming rhea for these commercial uses. Share


Orson Welles' iconic character in the film The Third Man is?

Orson Welles’ Iconic 1949 film “The Third Man” gets a 4K remake to celebrate the actor's 100th birthday - Stephan Jukic  – May 8, 2015 Leading up to the centennial of the birth of the iconic film director Orson Welles, one of his finest and most famous movies (aside from, you know, Citizen Kane) will be getting a complete 4K ultra HD restoration and heading right back into movie theaters in several key U.S cities as well as the Cannes Film Festival. The remastered version of director Carol Reed’s 1949 detective noir stars Welles as a black market trader playing his part in an increasingly tangled and confused maze of deception, betrayal and murder in the mysterious atmosphere of Vienna, Austria right after the Allied occupation at the end of World War 2. The movie plot was written by renowned thriller author Graham Greene, who also published a novella version with the same name in the wake of the movie’s success. The film tells the story of hack writer (played by actor Joseph Cotton), who travels to Allied-occupied Vienna in an attempt to follow up on a job offer from a childhood friend who is played by Orson Welles. However, once Cotton’s character arrives in Vienna, he quickly becomes entangled in a web of murder and deception that revolves partly around the Welles character. The film will be premiering at the Cannes Film Festival later in May and will then go on to open in New York on June 26th, Los Angeles on July 3d and other U.S cities at the same time or shortly afterwards. And for those who haven’t yet seen any of “The Third Man”, here is the original 1950 movie trailer, courtesy of YouTube… NYC-based film distributor Rialto Pictures announced the news this Wednesday the 6th of May, the day of Orson Welles’ 100th birthday. “The Third Man” was widely regarded as one of the finest movies of all time and was both a critical and commercial hit during its time, going on to win the Palme D’Or at Cannes and an Academy Award for the highly expressive black and white cinematography. The 4K resolution restoration was carried out by the company Deluxe on behalf of StudioCanal and is possible because most older films were produced on reels whose maximum resolution when digitized goes well beyond the scope of even 4K ultra HD resolution. In fact, the film could likely even be scaled up to a digital resolution of 8K if it were possible to widely screen in theaters today.


The Defender is a longstanding model of which automotive company? Landrover; Lotus; Toyota; or Bentley?

Land Rover To Launch Defender Pickup In 2017: Report Land Rover To Launch Defender Pickup In 2017: Report Email This Page To (separate emails with commas) Message (optional) Your email was sent successfully. Close Enlarge Photo Land Rover's roots lie in agricultural off-roading SUVs like the Defender. But from 2017, another type of vehicle is set to join the range--a pickup truck. While the current Defender has been sold as a pickup at several points throughout its life, Land Rover's new pickup truck will be based on a new generation of the Defender expected to arrive in 2016. While the company will concentrate on selling more conventional models first, design boss Gerry McGovern has told What Car that the new pickup could appear in 2017. Land Rover has struggled to find a way of replacing its most iconic model. Loved by its customers and the public alike, its design has remained largely the same throughout its history. Equipment tweaks and modern engines have allowed it to keep pace with emissions requirements and customer expectations, but the new model is likely to offer a considerably updated driving experience--as well as a full complement of airbags and other safety systems. The new pickup would be aimed at slightly premium pickups like the Volkswagen Amarok sold overseas rather than more utilitarian offerings from Mitsubishi, Nissan, Toyota and emerging Chinese brands. It would be a crew-cab, five-seat model with permanent four-wheel drive--losing none of the current Defender's off-road ability, something Land Rover's customers still value to a high degree. The new Defender's styling is currently a mystery, though the closest indication of what it could look like can be seen in the DC100 concept revealed back in 2011 . Importantly, that concept was instantly recognizable as a Defender--though Land Rover has an uphill struggle to convince existing Defender fans. It isn't clear whether the new pickup will make it to the U.S. market, but the company did confirm last year that the new Defender would be coming to the U.S. _______________________________________

What was the location of London's famous 17th century 'Frost Fairs'?

The Thames Frost Fairs in London By  Ben Johnson   |   Comments Between 1600 and 1814, it was not uncommon for the River Thames to freeze over for up to two months at time. There were two main reasons for this; the first was that Britain (and the entire of the Northern Hemisphere) was locked in what is now known as the 'Little Ice Age'. The other catalyst was the medieval London Bridge and its piers, and specifically how closely spaced together they were. During winter, pieces of ice would get lodged between the piers and effectively dam up the river, meaning it was easier for it to freeze. Although these harsh winters often brought with them famine and death, it was the local Londonders - as enterprising and resilient as ever - who decided to make the most of it and set up the Thames Frost Fairs. In fact, between 1607 and 1814 there were a total of seven major fairs, as well as countless smaller ones. These Frost Fairs would have been quite a spectacle, full of hastily constructed shops, pubs, ice skating rinks... everything that you would expect in  the crowded streets of London but on ice! The first recorded frost fair was during the winter of 1607 / 08. During December the ice had been firm enough to allow people to walk between Southwark to the City, but it was not until January when the ice became so thick that people started setting up camp on it. There were football pitches, bowling matches, fruit-sellers, shoemakers, barbers... even a pub or two. To keep the shopkeepers warm, there were even fires within their tents! The Frost Fair in 1683 / 84 During the Great Winter of 1683 / 84, where even the seas of southern Britain were frozen solid for up to two miles from shore, the most famous frost fair was held: The Blanket Fair. The famous English writer and diariest John Evelyn described it in extensive detail, writing: Coaches plied from Westminster to the Temple, and from several other staires to and fro, as in the streetes, sliding with skeetes, a bull-baiting, horse and coach races, puppet plays and interludes, cookes, tipling and other lewd places, so that it seemed a bacchanalian triumph or carnival on the water, whilst it was a severe judgement on the land, the trees not onely splitting as if lightning-struck, but men and cattle perishing in divers[e] places, and the very seas so lock'd up with ice, that no vessels could stir out or come in. Even kings and queens would join in the festivities, with King Charles reportedly enjoying a spitroasted ox at this very fair. In this painting from 1677, you can see how thick the ice would have been on the Thames. However, as you may imagine from holding a festival on a rather precarious piece of ice, there was the occasional tragedy. During the fair of 1739 a whole swathe of ice gave away and swallowed up tents and businesses as well as people. Another tragedy occurred at the fair in 1789 where melting ice dragged away a ship which was anchored to a riverside pub in Rotherhithe. As the 'Gentleman's Magazine' wrote at the time: "The captain of a vessel lying off Rotherhithe, the better to secure the ship's cables, made an agreement with a publican for fastening a cable to his premises. In consequence, a small anchor was carried on shore, and deposited in the cellar, while another cable was fastened round a beam in another part of the house. In the night the ship veered about, and the cables holding fast, carried away the beam, and levelled the house with the ground, by which accident five persons asleep in their beds were killed." The last ever Frost Fair held in 1814 / 15 By the 1800's the climate had started to warm, the severity of the winters had waned and the last ever London Frost Fair took place in the January of 1814. Although only lasting for five days, this was to be one of the largest fairs on record. Thousands of people turned up every day, and there was said to be every possible form of entertainment including a parading elephant! "At every glance, there was a novelty of some kind or other. Gaming was carried on in all its branches. Many of the itinerant ad

Whose Heritage? Public Symbols of the Confederacy | Southern Poverty Law Center Whose Heritage? Public Symbols of the Confederacy April 21, 2016 Download PDF After being indoctrinated online into the world of white supremacy and inspired by a racist hate group, Dylann Roof told friends he wanted to start a “race war.” Someone had to take “drastic action” to take back America from “stupid and violent” African Americans, he wrote. Then, on June 17, 2015, he attended a Bible study meeting at the historic Emanuel A.M.E. Church in Charleston and murdered nine people, all of them black.  Dylann Roof, the suspect in the massacre of nine African Americans in Charleston, S.C., in June 2015. (Corbis) The act of terror shocked America with its chilling brutality. But Roof did not spark a race war. Far from it. Instead, when photos surfaced depicting the 21-year-old white supremacist with the Confederate battle flag — including one in which he held the flag in one hand and a gun in the other — Roof ignited something else entirely: a grassroots movement to remove the flag from public spaces. In what seemed like an instant, the South’s 150-year reverence for the Confederacy was shaken. Public officials responded to the national mourning and outcry by removing prominent public displays of its most recognizable symbol. It became a moment of deep reflection for a region where the Confederate flag is viewed by many white Southerners as an emblem of their heritage and regional pride despite its association with slavery, Jim Crow and the violent resistance to the civil rights movement in the 1950s and 1960s. The moment came amid a period of growing alarm about the vast racial disparities in our country, seen most vividly in the deaths of unarmed African Americans at the hands of police. Under intense pressure, South Carolina officials acted first, passing legislation to remove the Confederate flag from the State House grounds, where it had flown since 1962. In Montgomery, Alabama — a city known as the Cradle of the Confederacy — the governor acted summarily and without notice, ordering state workers to lower several versions of Confederate flags that flew alongside a towering Confederate monument just steps from the Capitol. South Carolina removed this Confederate flag in July 2015. (John Taggart/EPA/Corbis) The movement quickly began to focus on symbols beyond the flag. In Memphis, the City Council voted to remove a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest, the Confederate general who oversaw the massacre of black Union soldiers and became a Ku Klux Klan leader after the Civil War. Months later, after a heated debate in December, the New Orleans City Council voted to remove three Confederate statues and another commemorating a bloody white supremacist rebellion against the city’s Reconstruction government in 1874. Across the South, communities began taking a critical look at many other symbols honoring the Confederacy and its icons — statues and monuments; city seals; the names of streets, parks and schools; and even official state holidays. There have been more than 100 attempts at the state and local levels to remove the symbols or add features to provide more historical context. Following the Charleston massacre, the Southern Poverty Law Center launched an effort to catalog and map Confederate place names and other symbols in public spaces, both in the South and across the nation. This study, while far from comprehensive, identified a total of 1,503.* These include: 718 monuments and statues, nearly 300 of which are in Georgia, Virginia or North Carolina; 109 public schools named for Robert E. Lee, Jefferson Davis or other Confederate icons; 80 counties and cities named for Confederates; 9 official Confederate holidays in six states; and 10 U.S. military bases named for Confederates. Critics may say removing a flag or monument, renaming a military base or school, or ending a state holiday is tantamount to "erasing history." In fact, across the country, Confederate flag supporters have held more than 350 rallies since the Charleston attack.

Fungi Reproduction Fungi can reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing spores, or sexually with homothallic or heterothallic mycelia. Learning Objective Describe the mechanisms of sexual and asexual reproduction in fungi Key Points New colonies of fungi can grow from the fragmentation of hyphae. During budding, a bulge forms on the side of the cell ; the bud ultimately detaches after the nucleus divides mitotically. Asexual spores are genetically identical to the parent and may be released either outside or within a special reproductive sac called a sporangium . Adverse environmental conditions often cause sexual reproduction in fungi. Mycelium can either be homothallic or heterothallic when reproducing sexually. Fungal sexual reproduction includes the following three stages: plasmogamy , karyogamy , and gametangia . Terms Full Text Reproduction Fungi reproduce sexually and/or asexually. Perfect fungi reproduce both sexually and asexually, while imperfect fungi reproduce only asexually (by mitosis). In both sexual and asexual reproduction , fungi produce spores that disperse from the parent organism by either floating on the wind or hitching a ride on an animal. Fungal spores are smaller and lighter than plant seeds . The giant puffball mushroom bursts open and releases trillions of spores. The huge number of spores released increases the likelihood of landing in an environment that will support growth . The (a) giant puff ball mushroom releases (b) a cloud of spores when it reaches maturity. Asexual Reproduction Fungi reproduce asexually by fragmentation, budding, or producing spores. Fragments of hyphae can grow new colonies. Mycelial fragmentation occurs when a fungal mycelium separates into pieces with each component growing into a separate mycelium. Somatic cells in yeast form buds. During budding (a type of cytokinesis), a bulge forms on the side of the cell, the nucleus divides mitotically, and the bud ultimately detaches itself from the mother cell. The most common mode of asexual reproduction is through the formation of asexual spores, which are produced by one parent only (through mitosis) and are genetically identical to that parent . Spores allow fungi to expand their distribution and colonize new environments. They may be released from the parent thallus , either outside or within a special reproductive sac called a sporangium. Fungi may utilize both asexual and sexual stages of reproduction; sexual reproduction often occurs in response to adverse environmental conditions. There are many types of asexual spores. Conidiospores are unicellular or multicellular spores that are released directly from the tip or side of the hypha . Other asexual spores originate in the fragmentation of a hypha to form single cells that are released as spores; some of these have a thick wall surrounding the fragment. Yet others bud off the vegetative parent cell. Sporangiospores are produced in a sporangium . This bright field light micrograph shows the release of spores from a sporangium at the end of a hypha called a sporangiophore. The organism depicted is a Mucor sp. fungus: a mold often found indoors. Sexual Reproduction Sexual reproduction introduces genetic variation into a population of fungi. In fungi, sexual reproduction often occurs in response to adverse environmental conditions. Two mating types are produced. When both mating types are present in the same mycelium, it is called homothallic, or self-fertile. Heterothallic mycelia require two different, but compatible, mycelia to reproduce sexually. Although there are many variations in fungal sexual reproduction, all include the following three st


The Ross Sea is a bay of which continent?

Ross Sea | sea, Pacific Ocean | Britannica.com sea, Pacific Ocean Ross Island Ross Sea, southern extension of the Pacific Ocean , which, along with the vast Ross Ice Shelf at its head, makes a deep indentation in the circular continental outline of Antarctica . The sea is a generally shallow marine region approximately 370,000 square miles (960,000 square km) in area, centred at about 75° S 175° W and lying between Cape Adare in northern Victoria Land on the west and Cape Colbeck on Edward VII Peninsula on the east. The northern limit lies approximately along the edge of the continental shelf and the southern limit along a great barrier wall of ice marking the front of the Ross Ice Shelf. Overshadowed by the towering ranges of Victoria Land , the floor of the Ross Sea extends northward as a broad shelf before plunging into the deeps of the Southeast Pacific Basin along a line from Scott Island to Cape Colbeck. The broader, western half of the sea shoals to less than 1,000 feet (300 metres) in several wide areas, the southwesternmost culminating in the small and rocky volcanic pile of Franklin Island. Most of the floor is less than 3,000 feet (900 metres) deep. The coastal region is dotted with modern volcanos and older dissected volcanic piles of an extensive alkaline-basalt area (McMurdo Volcanics) consisting of Cape Adare, Cape Hallett, Mount Melbourne, Franklin and Ross islands, on the western coast, and a number of lesser-known centres in western Marie Byrd Land , on the eastern coast. The Ross Sea is one of the least-iced and most-accessible of Antarctica’s fringe seas. Relatively easy access made this region the traditional avenue for mounting expeditions into the continental interior. The sea was first penetrated on January 5, 1841, by the HMS Erebus and HMS Terror, commanded by James Clark Ross on an unsuccessful attempt to reach the south magnetic pole. Since then various points on the Ross Ice Shelf have served as bases for exploration parties from Norway, Great Britain, Japan, the United States , and New Zealand . All coastal regions have been geologically explored, at least in reconnaissance, and the southern Victoria Land region near McMurdo Sound has become the most thoroughly known on the continent. Rich with history and scenery, the Ross Sea is now regularly traversed by tourist vessels. Similar Topics Yellow Sea Several possibilities exist with regard to the origin of the Ross Sea continental embayment. Early geologists believed the Ross Sea to extend as a subglacial trench, the hypothetical Ross–Weddell Graben, to connect with the Weddell Sea . Since then, discovery of the intervening Ellsworth Mountains has disproved the hypothesis . Geophysical studies on the Ross Ice Shelf indicate the presence of an underlying thick section of seismically low-velocity, probably sedimentary, rocks. The embayment, therefore, may be either a downfaulted block of continental rocks, including the Beacon Group, or it may be a downwarped basin filled with sedimentary rocks. Flora and fauna are typical of other southerly Antarctic marine regions. The nutrient-rich seawater supports abundant planktonic life which in turn provides food for larger forms, including fish , seals, whales, and seabirds and shorebirds. Among the latter, hordes of Adélie and emperor penguins populate rookeries at a number of places around the Ross Sea. The Ross Sea is strongly influenced by the coastal East-Wind Drift that sets up a vast clockwise gyre accompanied by deepwater upwelling. Surface currents move generally westward along the ice shelf front and thence northward along Victoria Land, where they meet the West-Wind Drift. Movements are complicated by shoals and tidal currents. Water less than 1,000 feet deep has a minimum temperature of about 28.2 °F (−2.1 °C). Mean surface water temperature in McMurdo Sound is about 28.8 °F (−1.8 °C).

The group's main objectives are sustainable development and poverty reduction within its member states, as well as their greater integration into the world's economy. The APC, sometimes called "The Lom� Convention," is basically a trade and aid agreement between the European Community (EC) and the 79 African, Caribbean, and Pacific (ACP) countries, first signed in February 1975 in Lom�, Togo. In 1975, a white flag with green-outlined letters ACP, each containing a red globe with gold lines of latitude and longitude, was adopted by the African, Caribbean and Pacific Group of States. The ACP Group unveiled a new flag and anthem at the opening ceremony of the ACP-EU Joint Parliamentary Assembly in 2013, to represent the solidarity and shared vision of its 79 member states. "Our flag consists of three diagonal bands of colour green, gold and blue. Green represents fertility and natural beauty and resources of our countries, gold symbolises the sun and the warmth of our people and blue symbolises the bodies of water that surround many of our nations, as well as the peace we all strive for," the Secretary General stated.

A sudden unofficial walkout or industrial action by workers is called informally a (What?) strike?

Any post in any other colour is my own responsibility. Joined: 30 Dec 2006, 10:29 Location: Proud to be part of the Union Gender: Male http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/mers ... 037419.stm Union representatives are due to tell hundreds of postal workers the result of talks following an unoffical walkout at delivery offices in Merseyside. Some 600 staff, who walked out after managers changed working conditions, will hear the news outside St George's Hall, Liverpool, at 1300 BST. Talks to resolve the backlog of post and parcels failed on Wednesday despite the last 48 hours of official action. Liverpool, West Lancashire and Wirral are involved in walkouts and sit-ins. Other workers in Wirral are taking part in sit-ins in protest. Mark Walsh, branch secretary of the Communication Workers Union (CMU), said the 300 workers striking outside Liverpool's Copperas Hill delivery office are keen to sort the issue out. He added: "The mail will unfortunately be delivered late. "We have come off strike to be hit with executive action to try and change some of the conditions of working we have. "We don't want to be out on strike and we don't want to affect the public of Merseyside. "If we get a local resolution we can get post moving in Merseyside again." Workers are also concerned they will lose money if the strikes continue. Police were at the scene of the strikes to prevent any trouble. More official action is planned but Mr Walsh said union members hope to resolve problems with working conditions soon. All post by me in Green are Admin Posts. Any post in any other colour is my own responsibility. http://business.guardian.co.uk/fullspec ... 53,00.html The prime minister has urged postal workers to settle their bitter dispute with Royal Mail over pay, pensions and flexibility, declaring there is "no justification" for further strikes. His comments came as unofficial industrial action broke out at more than 20 sorting offices across the country, a few hours after the end of a 48-hour national strike. While deliveries resumed in most of the country, wildcat strikes were reported in Liverpool, Lancaster, Glasgow and east London. Some workers said they arrived for a shift starting at 5am but were told Royal Mail had changed their timetables without their consent. Speaking at prime minister's questions, Gordon Brown said postal staff should go back to work, and called for a negotiated settlement. He said the dispute should be brought to an end on the terms already offered by Royal Mail. Up to 130,000 postal employees were due to return to work this morning after a strike that crippled services for almost a week, but unofficial action broke out at several sorting offices. By mid-morning, unofficial strikes continued in some parts of London and Liverpool, although postal employees returned to work in Glasgow. Royal Mail called the action "unacceptable" and called on the Communication Workers Union to condemn the unofficial strike. "The overwhelming majority of our people are now back at work clearing a backlog of mail which is equivalent to less than a day's normal postbag," said a spokesman. The Communication Workers Union said that it was not supporting the unofficial strikes but accused Royal Mail managers of "provoking" employees with sudden changes to work patterns. A spokesperson said: "We are not supporting this action at all, and we are encouraging people to get back to work and support the official action which starts next week. "However, Royal Mail should speak to its managers, who have been provoking people by introducing new working hours and cancelling scheduled overtime." Royal Mail said it had previously warned employees that new working hours would be introduced because of new legislation that would restrict the spee

The grammatical term for a word which joins two independent clauses is a?

Clauses: the Essential Building-Blocks the Essential Building-Blocks If your computer is equipped with PowerPoint, click on the PowerPoint icon to the right for a brief PowerPoint presentation on Clauses. Click HERE for help with Powerpoint. Definition A clause is a group of related words containing a subject and a verb A clause can be usefully distinguished from a phrase, which is a group of related words that does not contain a subject-verb relationship, such as "in the morning" or "running down the street" or "having grown used to this harassment." A review of the different kinds of phrases might be helpful. Words We Use to Talk about Clauses Learning the various terms used to define and classify clauses can be a vocabulary lesson in itself. This digital handout categorizes clauses into independent and dependent clauses. This simply means that some clauses can stand by themselves, as separate sentences, and some can't. Another term for dependent clause is subordinate clause: this means that the clause is subordinate to another element (the independent clause) and depends on that other element for its meaning. The subordinate clause is created by a subordinating conjunction or dependent word. An independent clause, "She is older than her brother" (which could be its own sentence), can be turned into a dependent or subordinate clause when the same group of words begins with a dependent word (or a subordinating conjunction in this case): "Because she is older than her brother, she tells him what to do." Clauses are also classified as restrictive and nonrestrictive clauses. (The words essential and nonessential are sometimes used and mean the same thing as restrictive and nonrestrictive, respectively. British grammarians will make this same distinction by referring to clauses with the terms defining and non-defining.) A nonrestrictive clause is not essential to the meaning of the sentence; it can be removed from the sentence without changing its basic meaning. Nonrestrictive clauses are often set apart from the rest of the sentence by a comma or a pair of commas (if it's in the middle of a sentence). Professor Villa, who used to be a secretary for the President, can type 132 words a minute. Review the Notorious Confusables section on the difference between That and Which for additional clarification on the distinction between restrictive and nonrestrictive. Relative clauses are dependent clauses introduced by a Relative Pronoun (that, which, whichever, who, whoever, whom, whomever, whose, and of which). Relative clauses can be either restrictive or nonrestrictive. Review the section on Comma Usage for additional help in determining whether relative clauses are restrictive or nonrestrictive (parenthetical or not) and whether commas should be used to set them off from the rest of the sentence. In a relative clause, the relative pronoun is the subject of the verb (remember that all clauses contain a subject-verb relationship) and refers to (relates to) something preceding the clause. Giuseppe said that the plantar wart, which had been bothering him for years, had to be removed. (In this sentence, the clause in this color is a restrictive [essential] clause [a noun clause  see below] and will not be set off by a comma; the underlined relative clause [modifying "wart"] is nonrestrictive [nonessential  it can be removed from the sentence without changing the meaning of the sentence] and is set off by commas.) Some relative clauses will refer to more than a single word in the preceding text; they can modify an entire clause or even a series of clauses. Charlie didn't get the job in administration, which really surprised his friends. Charlie didn't get the job in administration, and he didn't even apply for the Dean's position, which really surprised his friends. A relative clause that refers to or modifies entire clauses in this manner is called a sentential clause. Sometimes the "which" of a sentential clause will get tucked into the clause as the determiner of a noun: Charlie might very well take a job as headmaster, in whic


Mnemosyne (pronounced 'nemmoseeny') is the Greek goddess Mother of the Muses and also goddess of?

Mnemosyne, Greek Goddess of Memory | Goddess A Day Mnemosyne October 29th, 2008 by sabrina Thou fill'st from the wingèd chalice of the soul Thy lamp, O Memory, fire-wingèd to its goal. ---Dante Rossetti, inscribed on the frame of his painting, left Mnemosyne (pronounced ni-MAW-sin-ee) is the Greek Goddess of memory. She is the daughter of Gaia and Ouranos, and therefore one of the Titans. With her nephew Zeus, she is the mother of the nine Muses. Zeus lay with Mnemosyne for nine nights in a row, and a year later she bore their nine daughters--- Kalliope , Kleio , Erato , Euterpe , Melpomene , Polyhymnia , Terpsikhore , Thalia , and Ourania . Mnemosyne is also said to have invented language, giving names to all things, although this is also said to have been the invention of Hermes, God of travel, trade, and language. Mnemosyne, in her rule over memory, played an important role at an oracle in Boeotia. Before consulting the oracle, initiates first drank from the pool of Lethe, Goddess of forgetfulness, to clear their minds of all preconceptions. They then drank from the pool of Mnemosyne, so that they would remember what they learned from the oracle. Similarly, those who had crossed over into Hades were given the choice of whether to drink from a spring of Mnemosyne and remember their lives, or to drink from the pool of Lethe and forget. Mnemosyne's name, which means "memory," is also seen as Mnamosyna, and the epithets Golden-robed, Fair-robed, and Gentle-eyed were used to describe her.
