Which soft drink, described as having a unique flavour, was first nationally marketed in the USA in 1904 and has had many advertising slogans including 'what's the worst that can happen' in 2008?

Dr. Pepper Dr. Pepper All About Dr. Pepper Dr Pepper is a  soft drink  marketed as having a unique  flavor . Created in the 1880s by Charles Alderton of  Waco, Texas  and first served around 1885, Dr Pepper was first nationally marketed in the  United States  in 1904 and is now also sold in Europe, Asia, South America, and Australia. Variants include a no- sugar  version,  Diet  Dr Pepper, as well as a line of versions with additional flavors, first introduced in the 2000s. W.W. Clements, a former CEO and president of the Dr Pepper/7-Up Company, described the taste of Dr Pepper as one-of-a-kind, saying "I've always maintained you cannot tell anyone what Dr Pepper tastes like because it's so different. It's not an apple, it's not an orange, it's not a strawberry, it's not a  root beer , it's not even a  cola . It's a different kind of drink with a unique taste all its own." [ 1 ] History The  U.S. Patent Office  recognizes  December 1 ,  1885  as the first time Dr Pepper was served. It was introduced nationally in the  United States  at the 1904  Louisiana Purchase Exposition  as a new kind of soda pop, made with 23 flavors. Its introduction in 1885 preceded the introduction of  Coca-Cola  by one year. Nutrition Facts      Iron 0% *Percent Daily Values are based on a 2,000-calorie diet.

[2]  To test his new drink, he first offered it to store owner Wade Morrison, who also found it to his liking. Patrons at Morrison's soda fountain soon learned of Alderton's new drink and began ordering a "Waco". Alderton gave the formula to Morrison who named it Dr. Pepper. Popular opinion holds that the drink was named after Dr. Charles T. Pepper of  Rural Retreat, Virginia . One story says it was in order for Morrison to obtain permission to marry the doctor's daughter, another story tells of the gratefulness of Morrison to Dr. Charles T. Pepper for giving him his first job. However, research [4]  seems to have revealed that Morrison lived nearly 50 miles from Rural Retreat, VA near a Dr. Pepper of  Christiansburg, Virginia . This is reportedly supported by the U.S. census, showing a young Morrison working as a pharmacy clerk in Christiansburg, VA. One of the following pages of this census supposedly shows a Dr. Pepper and daughter Malinda or Malissa. Since census takers of the period were walking door to door, and their census entries were on following pages, it stands to reason that Morrison and the family of Dr. Pepper not only lived close to each other but most likely knew one another. If the marriage story holds true, it would also be more likely that Morrison would have asked for the hand of a 16 rather than an 8 year old girl, since that was the age of Dr. Charles T. Pepper's daughter at the time Morrisson relocated to Waco.[ improper synthesis? ] Dr Pepper became  insolvent  in the early 1980s, prompting an investment group to take the company private. Several years later, Coca-Cola attempted to acquire Dr Pepper, but was blocked from doing so by the  Federal Trade Commission  (FTC). Around the same time,  Seven Up  was acquired from Phillip Morris by the same investment company that bailed out Dr Pepper. Upon the failure of the Coca-Cola merger, Dr Pepper and Seven Up merged (creating Dr Pepper/Seven Up, Inc., or DPSU), giving up international branding rights in the process. After the DPSU merger, Coca-Cola obtained most non-U.S. rights to the Dr Pepper name (with PepsiCo taking the Seven Up rights). [5] In 2009 an old ledger book filled with formulas and  recipes  was discovered by a man named Bill Waters while shopping at antiques stores in the Texas Panhandle. [6] Several sheets and letterheads hinted that it had come from the W.B. Morrison & Co. Old Corner Drug Store (the same store Dr Pepper was first served at in  1885 ) and faded letters on the books cover spelled out "Castles Formulas" (John Castles was a partner of Morrison'


What was the six letter name given to the clothes shop opened by Mary Quant on London's King's Road in 1955 ?

sixties « Another Nickel In The Machine Bazaar in 1955 Bazaar and the Markham Arms (now a Santander bank) today The King’s Road in 1958. The Bluebird Garage can be seen down the road at numbers 330-350. The garage was opened in 1923 and was the largest in Europe with room for 300 cars in the main garage. The King’s Road today-ish. The garage is now a restaurant of course. The shop, which they called Bazaar, opened in November 1955 and was an almost immediate success with the stock flying out of the door. Although initially this was partly to do with naively selling their clothes and accessories too cheaply thus not only losing money on everything they sold but also upsetting the local shops and their wholesalers by undercutting the fixed retail prices. It wasn’t long, however, that the trio of entrepreneurs realised that by luck they were on to a huge thing: We were in at the beginning of a tremendous renaissance in fashion. It was not happening because of us. It was simply that, as things turned out, we were a part of it. Mary Quant and Alexander Plunket Green Mary Quant and APG worked incredibly hard. They had also opened a restaurant in the basement of Markham House which soon became the place to come to in Chelsea. But if they worked hard they also played hard – incredibly they were still both only twentyone. According to Quant the couple always found time to visit the music hall shows at the Chelsea Palace theatre down the road from Bazaar. At the time the shows were often slightly risqué in nature.  “We went once a week” said Mary. “the Chelsea Palace chorus girls wore very naughty fur bikini knickers.” It must have been a very funny show… Paul Raymond’s ‘Burlesque’ was performed at the Chelsea Palace in 1955 Burlesque by Paul Raymond – how kind of Jeye’s Fluid to sponsor the show (see the bottom of the bill) Chelsea Palace of Varieties The Chelsea Palace of Varieties had opened for business in 1903 at 232-42 King’s Road on the corner of Sydney Street opposite the Town Hall. It seated 2524 people. Marie Lloyd appeared there in 1909 and performed an act so vulgar that a complaint was made to the London County Council. By 1923 it started to be used as a cinema as well as showing straight plays and ballets. In 1925 it was taken over by Variety Theatres Consolidated and from then until its closure in March 1957 it presented live theatre, often of a risque nature. One of the shows put on in 1955 called ‘Burlesque’ was produced by Paul Raymond at the beginning of his  career. During the latter part of 1956 the Chelsea Palace ran a Radio Luxembourg talent competition  and it was won for four weeks in a row by the Fantasie coffee shop regulars – the Chas McDevitt Skiffle Group. McDevitt described his flat in Chelsea at the time: The flat I the King’s Road was an ideal pad in an ideal position. It provided a haven for many an itinerant jazzer, visiting American folkies and unsuspecting embryo groupies. During the Chelsea Palace talent contests McDevitt met a twenty year old Glaswegian singer called Anne Wilson whose stage name was Nancy Whiskey. Within six months Nancy Whiskey and McDevitt’s skiffle group had recorded a single called Freight Train. Amazingly, to most people concerned, it actually ended up in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic. They even appeared on the Ed Sullivan show in the US along side the Everly Brothers six years before the Beatles’ famous appearance. The particularly British institution of skiffle only lasted two or three years perhaps but its influence was long-lasting. It was a do-it-yourself reaction to the bland mediocrity that many young people felt about the popular music of the time. This was echoed twenty years later in the mid-seventies with punk which had a lot of similarities with skiffle. The Kings Road played its part in that too. With his new success Chas McDevitt opened his own coffee bar in Berwick Street in Soho which he called, of course, the Freight Train coffee bar. The swinging sixties were a bit of a myth this is what the King’s Road really looked like. The King’s Road: Su

In terms of size, which is the third smallest planet in our Solar System (excluding Pluto)?

The Planets in Our Solar System in Order of Size - Universe Today   Universe Today The Planets in Our Solar System in Order of Size Article Updated: 23 Dec , 2015 by Elizabeth Howell If you’re interested in planets, the good news is there’s plenty of variety to choose from in our own Solar System. From the ringed beauty of Saturn, to the massive hulk of Jupiter, to the lead-melting temperatures on Venus, each planet in our solar system is unique — with its own environment and own story to tell about the history of our Solar System. What also is amazing is the sheer size difference of planets. While humans think of Earth as a large planet, in reality it is dwarfed by the massive gas giants lurking at the outer edges of our Solar System. This article explores the planets in order of size, with a bit of context as to how they got that way. A short history of the Solar System No human was around 4.5 billion years ago when the Solar System was formed, so what we know about its birth comes from several sources: examining rocks on Earth and other places, looking at other solar systems in formation and doing computer models, among other methods. As more information comes in, some of our theories of the Solar System must change to suit the new evidence. Today, scientists believe the Solar System began with a spinning gas and dust cloud. Gravitational attraction at its center eventually collapsed to form the Sun. Some theories say that the young Sun’s energy began pushing the lighter particles of gas away, while larger, more solid particles such as dust remained closer in. Artist’s conception of a solar system in formation. Credit: NASA/FUSE/Lynette Cook Over millions and millions of years, the gas and dust particles became attracted to each other by their mutual gravities and began to combine or crash. As larger balls of matter formed, they swept the smaller particles away and eventually cleared their orbits. That led to the birth of Earth and the other eight planets in our Solar System. Since much of the gas ended up in the outer parts of the system, this may explain why there are gas giants — although this presumption may not be true for other solar systems discovered in the universe. Until the 1990s, scientists only knew of planets in our own Solar System and at that point accepted there were nine planets. As telescope technology improved, however, two things happened. Scientists discovered exoplanets, or planets that are outside of our solar system. This began with finding massive planets many times larger than Jupiter, and then eventually finding planets that are rocky — even a few that are close to Earth’s size itself . The other change was finding worlds similar to Pluto, then considered the Solar System’s furthest planet, far out in our own Solar System. At first astronomers began treating these new worlds like planets, but as more information came in, the International Astronomical Union held a meeting to better figure out the definition. Hubble image of Pluto and some of its moons, Charon, Nix and Hydra. Image Credit: NASA, ESA, H. Weaver (JHU/APL), A. Stern (SwRI), and the HST Pluto Companion Search Team The result was redefining Pluto and worlds like it as a dwarf planet. This is the current IAU planet definition: “A celestial body that (a) is in orbit around the Sun, (b) has sufficient mass for its self-gravity to overcome rigid body forces so that it assumes a hydrostatic equilibrium (nearly round) shape, and (c) has cleared the neighborhood around its orbit.” Size of the eight planets According to NASA , this is the estimated radii of the eight planets in our solar system, in order of size. We also have included the radii sizes relative to Earth to help you picture them better. Jupiter (69,911 km / 43,441 miles) – 1,120% the size of Earth Saturn (58,232 km / 36,184 miles) – 945% the size of Earth Uranus (25,362 km / 15,759 miles) – 400% the size of Earth Neptune (24,622 km / 15,299 miles) – 388% the size of Earth Earth (6,371 km / 3,959 miles) Venus (6,052 km / 3,761 miles) – 95% the size of Earth Mars (3,390 km /


English poet John Keats, who died in 1821, is buried in which European country?

John Keats | Poetry Foundation Poetry Foundation Poet Details 1795–1821 John Keats, who died at the age of twenty-five, had perhaps the most remarkable career of any English poet. He published only fifty-four poems, in three slim volumes and a few magazines. But at each point in his development he took on the challenges of a wide range of poetic forms from the sonnet, to the Spenserian romance, to the Miltonic epic, defining anew their possibilities with his own distinctive fusion of earnest energy, control of conflicting perspectives and forces, poetic self-consciousness, and, occasionally, dry ironic wit. In the case of the English ode he brought its form, in the five great odes of 1819, to its most perfect definition. In his own lifetime John Keats would not have been associated with other major Romantic poets, and he himself was often uneasy among them. Outside his friend Leigh Hunt 's circle of liberal intellectuals, the generally conservative reviewers of the day attacked his work, with malicious zeal, as mawkish and bad-mannered, as the work of an upstart "vulgar Cockney poetaster" (John Gibson Lockhart), and as consisting of "the most incongruous ideas in the most uncouth language" (John Wilson Croker). Although Keats had a liberal education in the boy's academy at Enfield and trained at Guy's Hospital to become a surgeon, he had no formal literary education. Yet Keats today is seen as one of the canniest readers, interpreters, questioners, of the "modern" poetic project-which he saw as beginning with William Wordsworth —to create poetry in a world devoid of mythic grandeur, poetry that sought its wonder in the desires and sufferings of the human heart. Beyond his precise sense of the difficulties presented him in his own literary-historical moment, he developed with unparalleled rapidity, in a relative handful of extraordinary poems, a rich, powerful, and exactly controlled poetic style that ranks Keats, with the William Shakespeare of the sonnets, as one of the greatest lyric poets in English. Keats was born in London on 31 October 1795, the eldest of Thomas and Frances Jennings Keats's four children. Traditionally, he was said to have been born in his maternal grandfather's stable, the Swan and Hoop, near what is now Finsbury Circus, but there is no real evidence for this birthplace, or for the belief that his family was particularly poor. Thomas Keats managed the stable for his father-in-law and later owned it, providing the family an income comfortable enough for them to buy a home and send the older children, John and George (1797-1841), to the small village academy of Enfield, run by the liberal and gifted teacher John Clarke. Young Tom Keats (1799-1818) soon followed them. Although little is known of Keats's early home life, it appears to have been happy, the family close-knit, the environment full of the exuberance and clamor of a big-city stable and inn yard. Frances Keats was a lively woman, tall and attractive, ardently devoted to her children, particularly her favorite, John, who returned that devotion intensely. Keats's father, recalled John Clarke, was a man "of fine commonsense and native respectability," under whom the family business prospered, so that he hoped to send his son John to Harrow. At the age of eight Keats entered Enfield Academy and became friends with young Charles Cowden Clarke, the fifteen-year-old son of the headmaster. Clarke remembered an outgoing youth, who made friends easily and fought passionately in their defense: "He was not merely the `favorite of all,' like a pet prize-fighter, for his terrier courage; but his high-mindedness, his utter unconsciousness of a mean motive, his placability, his generosity, wrought so general a feeling in his behalf, that I never heard a word of disapproval from any one, superior or equal, who had known him." He was not a shy, bookish child; one of his schoolmates, Edward Holmes, later said that "Keats was not in childhood attached to books. His penchant was for fighting. He would fight any one." On the night of 15 April 1804, when Keats ha


Which actor played the title role of architect David Vincent in the 1960's TV series The Invaders?

Invaders Behind the Scenes The Invaders: The Nightmare Has Already Begun by Stephen Bowie   “The Invaders.  Alien beings from a dying planet.  Their destination: the earth.  Their purpose: to make it their world.  “David Vincent has seen them.  For him, it began one lost night on a lonely country road, looking for a shortcut.  It began with a closed, deserted diner, and a man too long without sleep to continue his journey.  It began with the landing of a craft from another galaxy.  “Now, David Vincent knows that the Invaders are here, that they have taken human form.  Somehow he must convince a disbelieving world that the nightmare has already begun . . . .” So intones the leaden voice that narrates the opening credits of one of television’s great forays into the realm of science fiction.  Twenty-five years before The X-Files posited that the aliens are already among us and up to no good, David Vincent began his lonely two-year quest to save the world.  Alternately pursuer and pursued, openly unhappy about his role as a modern-day Paul Revere and often pessimistic about his chances of success, Vincent proved a far more complex hero than 1960s television audiences were used to.  He was the centerpiece of a sci-fi series more downbeat and more realistic than any that preceded it. “The major thing that the show had going for it is the fact that we are all a little bit paranoid, and that it’s easy to identify with somebody who is a single man fighting the world,” said Invaders producer Alan A. Armer.  “I mean, that’s what all real heroes are, if you look at the great myths and legends and the great stories that have been told.  Frequently it is one person fighting the society, fighting the government, fighting an invisible force, and this is classic.  And I think we all relate to that, because his job and his goal are so difficult to achieve.  Conceptually, that’s what made the show strong.” Diane Baker and Roy Thinnes in “Beachhead,” the series’ pilot The Invaders’ successful format combined the sensibilities of two creator/producers who couldn’t have been more different.  One was the unpredictable Larry Cohen, a brash wunderkind from the dying days of prestigious New York dramas like The Defenders, on the verge of leaving television to pour his twisted imagination into a string of low-budget cult horror films.  The other was Quinn Martin, the steadfast, humorless king of sixties and seventies action television, overseer of a seemingly endless string of formulaic but exceedingly well-produced police and detective shows.  The Invaders began with Cohen, who freely concedes that his conception of the series was less an original idea than an amalgamation of several beloved pop-culture fixations of his adolescence.  Fans of the show frequently point to Invasion of the Body Snatchers, the eery 1956 B-picture in which Kevin McCarthy discovers that his friends and neighbors are gradually being replaced by identical “pod people” from another planet, as the most obvious precedent for The Invaders.  “That was one of my favorite movies when I was a child,” said Cohen, who also cites Invaders From Mars (1953) as an inspiration.  The aliens of The Invaders apparently didn’t possess the technology to replace real people with identical facsimiles, and they employed glowing energy tubes called “regeneration chambers” rather than seed pods to affect their human form, but they were otherwise interchangeable with the Body Snatchers.  Using subterfuge to infiltrate human society, the aliens relied on humans’ natural skepticism toward “crackpots” like David Vincent to protect them from anyone who stumbled onto their existence and tried to blow the whistle on their plans.  Invaders buffs often assume, since much of the same creative talent worked on both shows, that Cohen borrowed the series’ man-on-the-run format from The Fugitive, the 1963 hit starring David Janssen as a wrongly-convicted death row inmate who escapes to search for his wife’s killer.  In fact, Cohen said, he took his cue from the Mas

Great you may think, “another glossy magazine in Pattaya, just what we need!” And I know exactly what you mean, but hopefully, after reading this - our first issue - you will feel it is a breath of fresh air, something different, a magazine really worth reading from cover to cover.  As you read and we hope enjoy the articles, please also take time to read the adverts, after all without their support we would not be able to publish, and when taking advantage of the services offered, please remember to let them know you saw it in the Grapevine, so they know what a fantastic vehicle it is to get their message across to you - our readers.  In this first issue I would like to tell you a little about myself as your editor. I came to Pattaya in April 2006 with my wife Dee Dee from our home in Jávea, Spain, a small town about twenty five miles north of Benidorm on the Costa Blanca, where we had lived for the past twenty-two years after moving from the UK.  For the past 10 years I have published a magazine for the ex-pat community within Jávea, called - you maybe surprised to learn ‘The Javea Grapevine’, and for the last six years we also had an instant print and photocopying business situated in the busy Port area. We sold the business in Spain and moved to Pattaya permanently in December 2007, spent a quit Christmas and New Year in holiday mode and started to look for ways to publish the Pattaya Grapevine in the early part of the year. A few months later, and certainly no closer to getting the required publishing license we looked for another road forward. In June 2008 we met Visa from Pattaya Today, a newspaper we had always believed to be the best in the town, and managed to put together a deal that suited both parties, so of course, we are just at the beginning of a whole new stage of our lives that we are really excited about. That very quickly brings us to almost present time, but I will tell you more about our years in Spain and why Pattaya for our new venture, but that will all have to wait for a future edition of Pattaya Grapevine. Of course, to prevent me from going on about myself, the readers of Pattaya Grapevine are welcome to write about their reasons for coming to Pattaya, and the lives they lived in the years BP - Before Pattaya.  Well that’s it for my first Editor’s page, I hope you enjoy the rest of the magazine.  Please remember to let us know your comments and suggestions and I look forward to meeting you again in the months to come, not only in these columns, but in the streets as well where East meets West Sir Tom Jones the Sex Bomb Tom Jones is a legend, he is one of the world’s most charismatic live performers and with a career spanning five decades, he has done quite well for a poor boy born into a coal mining family in the village of Pontypridd, in the

Friends of the couple, who live in Kensington, feared they would never tie the knot. ‘It’s almost our silver anniversary so we thought we had better get on with it,’ said Weston, 61.

In which country can you find Ben Gurion International Airport, the country's largest?

Airport Executives from 40 Countries to Visit Israel for Security Lessons | The Tower Airport Executives from 40 Countries to Visit Israel for Security Lessons by TheTower.org Staff | 05.31.16 7:45 pm With concern rising after a string of terror attacks, airport representatives from 40 countries will visit Israel’s Ben-Gurion International Airport next month to learn about Ben-Gurion’s innovative security procedures. Ben-Gurion is one of the world’s safest airports—no flight departing Israel has ever been hijacked, and there hasn’t been a terrorist attack at Ben-Gurion since 1972. The layers of security are largely unnoticed by the more than 16 million passengers who arrive and embark there annually. The first layer occurs in Ben-Gurion’s Airport Security Operations Center, which monitors every flight in the area and conducts background checks on every passenger and flight crew scheduled to pass through Israeli airspace. Around ten flights per day are flagged for security irregularities and checked further, Dvir Rubinshtein, operations center manager for the Israeli Ministry of Transportation, explained to CNN. “There is, every day, a situation where we have such concerns [about a flight],”  he said, “and we check that and verify that everything is security cleared.” Because of its record, other nations are looking into adopting Israeli security methods for their airports. “Most of the countries are actually coming here often to see how Israel is dealing with security aviation and the threats from terror aviation,” Rubinshtein said. Aviation security expert Shalom Dolev told CNN that “some [of Ben-Gurion’s] fundamental principles and some best practices can be deployed in other parts of the world,” but because of its relatively smaller size, “it’s not a copy and paste because it’s not a situation where one size fits all.” For example, Ben-Gurion handles about 20% of the passenger traffic of London’s Heathrow airport and 15% of the traffic handled by Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport, which just signed a cooperation agreement with Ben-Gurion. (Heathrow is also  reportedly  considering adopting Israeli airport security methods.) In February, Israel added a new security directive to airlines traveling to Israel in order to address other potential threats to flights, such as from “insiders that are working at resorts and may have access to the luggage of passengers, insiders that may work at airports or even in cabin crew,” Dolev said. “And last but not least, the phenomenon we are facing since the early-90s of suicide pilots.” Dolev emphasized that Israeli airport security is ultimately at an advantage against threats because they “are more flexible, more dynamic to respond to emerging threats and respond effectively.” [Photo: Oyoyoy / WikiCommons ] A successful conviction in the ongoing trial of By TheTower.org Staff Likud MK Ayoub Kara is expected to be By TheTower.org Staff Israeli and Jewish American humanitarian aid organizations have By ISRAEL21c


Which play, written in 1923 by English playwright Arnold Ripley depicts a group of travellers stranded in a waiting room at a remote railway station?

the ghost train play : definition of the ghost train play and synonyms of the ghost train play (English) 6 External links   Background The play was first performed at the Eltinge Theater. [1] Ridley was inspired to write it after becoming stranded overnight at Mangotsfield railway station in Bristol , a now disused station on the Midland Railway main line. The play took him only a week to complete, but it played to packed houses at St Martin's Theatre from November 1925 [2] to March 1927. [2] The Oxford English Dictionary gives three definitions of "ghost train". The first, dating from 1884 refers to "freight trains … of which no account is given, the profits going to the officials and the employés". [3] The other definitions, post-dating Ridley's play, concern "a train of cars at a fun fair that travels through dark tunnels in which there are ghost-like effects" and "a train run during the night to keep the track clear in periods of heavy snowfall or severe frost." [3]   Original cast Jackson – Walter Pemberton Smith – Wilfred Langley [4] Changes to the cast during the run included Sydney Fairbrother (from June 1926) as Miss Bourne, [5] succeeded in the role by Connie Ediss in November 1926. [6] Ridley, best known as an actor for his role of Private Godfrey in Dad's Army , played Saul Hodgkin, the station master, in several productions over many years. He told The Guardian in 1976 that when he first played the part he had to make up carefully to look old enough, but latterly "I had a job to make myself look young enough." [7] Other actors who have played the station master include Wilfred Brambell (1976) [8] and Bill Oddie (1992). [9]   Plot The plot revolves around a party of passengers (including a newlywed couple, an estranged couple, a self-indulgent young dandy and an elderly spinster with a parrot) who find themselves stranded in the waiting room of an isolated station on a stormy night. The station master tries to get them to leave citing the local legend of a ghost train that dooms all who see it to death. It is revealed later in the plot that the train is in fact smuggling arms and the story has been concocted to frighten away strangers. The play used elaborate special effects to simulate a train running through the station, such as garden-rollers running over wooden laths, thunder sheets, etc. Reviewing the premiere in The Manchester Guardian , Ivor Brown wrote, "the gentleman in charge of 'Noises off' becomes at times the protagonist … he can make a noise so like a train that he might impose on the station master of a terminus; meanwhile, he can throw in a hurricane, as it were, with the other hand." [10]   Film and broadcast adaptations The first film version, was a German-British co-production the silent Ghost Train . A second film starring the comedian Jack Hulbert , was The Ghost Train . Made in 1931, only five reels of picture and two reels of soundtrack now survive. This was followed on 1937 by The Ghost Train , starring Clifford Benn, John Counsell, and Hugh Dempster . The 1937 Will Hay comedy Oh, Mr Porter! is loosely based on the plot of the play. [11] The Ghost Train was remade in 1941, with the story updated to the Second World War, and starring Arthur Askey and Richard Murdoch . [12] Other film adaptations include the 1939 Dutch film De Spooktrein , directed by Karel Lamac, and the 1976 Danish film Spøgelsestoget (English title Ghost Train International ), directed by Bent Christensen and starring Dirch Passer . On 28 December 1937 the BBC broadcast a forty minute presentation John Counsell , Joan Lawson , Don Gemmell , Alex McCringle , Clifford Benn , Arthur Young , Daphne Riggs and Laura Smithson . [13] The Times said of the broadcast version of the play, "Once more it was very effective, the wind-machine working overtime from the start, doors opening spontaneously as on the best-ordered stages, bells tinkling ominously … and an excellent train flying madly by beyond the waiting-room wiindows." [14] A radio version of The Ghost Train, adapted by Shaun McKenna , directed by Marion Anne Carrow and

What was the name of the supertanker which ran aground betwen Land's End and the Scilly Isles on March 18th 1967 ?

The People History Blog: 1967 News and Interesting History Tidbits 1967 News and Interesting History Tidbits Torrey Canyon The tanker "Torrey Canyon" runs aground on rocks between Land's End and the Scilly Isles and is leaking its cargo of 100,000 tons of crude oil into the sea. The oil did get to beaches in Cornwall and the Normandy coast of France causing major environmental damage with over 20,000 sea birds contaminated. The British Royal Navy continues it's attempt to sink the remains of the supertanker Torrey Canyon just off the coast of Lands End, hoping to ignite a fire and burn off the massive oil slick near the ship containing tens of thousands of tons of oil. This is now the second day the navy has tried and has so far dropped 62,000lbs of bombs, 5,200 gallons of petrol, 11 rockets and large quantities of napalm onto the ship. The ship was eventually sunk the next day Joseph Stalin's Daughter Seeks Asylum The daughter of Soviet dictator Joseph Stalin requests political asylum at the United States Embassy in India.

US Department Of State Page Gov. George Romney 1967 Concern rose among Americans when Gov. George Romney decided to run for president under the Republican ticket. One of the major concerns about Romney running for office included the fact that the Mormon Church to which he belonged advocated segregation. Moreover, Romney’s church considered African-Americans an inferior race. Nevertheless, George Romney assured the public that he believed that all Americans should be allowed the same opportunities in life. He encouraged people to judge him (Romney) on his actions and not how his church believes. His desire was similar to that expressed by President John F. Kennedy-to act according to national interest, and not according to religion.

Which play, written by Arthur Miller in 1949 features the lead character named Willie Loman?

Death of a Salesman Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 19 out of 20 people found the following review useful: A MOST Outstanding Play from Illinois 26 March 2005 Clearly, "Death of a Salesman" is the best play that Arthur Miller has written. It is almost as if he wrote it with Lee J. Cobb in mind to play salesman Willy Loman. Lee J. Cobb (then 38 years old) had performed this role on Broadway starring in the original cast. The play ran for 742 performances from February 10, 1949 thru November 18, 1950. I saw the television movie which ran on CBS television when it was broadcast in 1966. Back then we only had a black and white TV. Thirty-nine years later I purchased the DVD and marveled in seeing "Death of a Salesman" in color. Sixteen years later a now 55 year old Cobb reprises his Broadway stage role for the television cameras and was emotionally and dramatically perfect. Cobb plays road salesman Willy Loman so well that the viewer can see him having an emotional breakdown as the play progresses to it's conclusion. Part of the beauty of this television production is how it was video taped on a stage to resemble how an audience would see "Death of a Salesman" if it were being performed on the Broadway stage. The sets resembled those of a stage play. The only major difference is that, unseen by the viewers, the cameras were positioned to afford many dramatic angles and facial shots that could not be realized on a stage with a live audience. The television movie co-stars Mildren Dunnock as Willy's wife Linda Loman. Ms. Dunnock was also in the original Broadway cast. Her dramatic and long suffering role as Willy's wife is played with emotion and genuine love for her salesman husband. I can never forget when she is scolding her adult sons for their lack of compassion to their father when she says, "....So attention must be paid. He's not to be allowed to fall into his grave like an old dog. Attention, attention must be paid to such a person." George Segal turns in an excellent performance as Willy's son, Biff Loman, a son whom Willy had such dreams for Biff to be a college football star only to have a riff happen between Biff and his father. When Biff and Willy physically attack each other one can relate to real life when love covered over by hatred exists in real life families. James Farentino plays the playboy son, Happy Loman who is a disappointment to Willy's dreams and his mother's respect for him. Farentino is well matched as Biff's brother and at times the two brothers reflect upon their youthful years when they were still in high school and the pride of their father's eye. Gene Wilder (of Willy Wonka and Young Frankenstein fame) turns in a surprise performance at age 33 years old as Bernard the smart son of Willy's neighbor, Charley. Veteran character actor Edward Andrews gives a fine performance as Charley. Maybe Charley is Willy's only true friend. Throughout the play, Charley tries shows genuine concern for Willy's predicament and tries to help him, to no avail, because Willy will not listen to Charley's wise counsel. Albert Dekker plays Willy's older brother Ben. Ben is played as an hallucination. Ben's appears in Willy's mind dressed as a successful man who went away to make his fortune. Willy speaks to his brother as Hamlet spoke to his dead father and asks for Ben's advice on whether Willy has done right by his sons. Brother Ben's apparent success torments the mind of Willy. Bernie Kopell plays Howard Wagner the heir and president of the Wagner Company that Willy has worked at for many years. Bernie Kopell went on to become well known as Dr. Adam Bricker in the TV series "The Love Boat" as well as being cast in many movies and TV series. Character actor Stanley Adams has a small role as a waiter when Biff, Happy, and Willy meet for dinner. Up until his death in 1977 Stanley Adams appeared in roles in 65 motion pictures. Supporting roles were played by June Foray, Joan Patrick, Marge Redmond, and Karen Steele. At 88 years of age in 2005, June Foray continues to work in films doing cartoon voices. She is the voice o

Tokyo travel guide - Wikitravel Districts[ edit ] Huge and varied in its geography, with over 2,000km² (770 square miles) to explore, Tokyo Metropolis (東京都 Tōkyō-to) spans not just the city, but rugged mountains to the west and subtropical islands to the south. This article concentrates on the 23 central wards (区 ku) near the bay, while the western cities and the islands are covered in a separate article . The geography of central Tokyo is defined by the JR Yamanote Line (see Get around ). The center of Tokyo — the former area reserved for the Shogun and his samurai — lies within the loop, while the Edo-era downtown (下町 shitamachi) is to the north and east. Sprawling around in all directions and blending in seamlessly are Yokohama , Kawasaki and Chiba , Tokyo's suburbs. Understand[ edit ] Over 500 years old, the city of Tokyo grew from the modest fishing village of Edo (江戸). The city only truly began to grow when it became the seat of the Tokugawa shogunate in 1603. While the emperor ruled in name from Kyoto , the true power was concentrated in the hands of the Tokugawa shogun in Edo. After the Meiji restoration in 1868, during which the Tokugawa family lost its influence, the emperor and the imperial family moved here from Kyoto, and the city was re-named to its current name, Tokyo. The metropolitan center of the country, Tokyo is the destination for business, education, modern culture, and government. (That's not to say that rivals such as Osaka won't dispute those claims.) Shinjuku at night Tokyo is vast: it's best thought of not as a single city, but a constellation of cities that have grown together. Tokyo's districts vary wildly by character, from the electronic blare of Akihabara to the Imperial gardens and shrines of Chiyoda , from the hyperactive youth culture Mecca of Shibuya to the pottery shops and temple markets of Asakusa . If you don't like what you see, hop on the train and head to the next station, and you will find something entirely different. The sheer size and frenetic pace of Tokyo can intimidate the first-time visitor. Much of the city is a jungle of concrete and wires, with a mass of neon and blaring loudspeakers. At rush hour, crowds jostle in packed trains and masses of humanity sweep through enormous and bewilderingly complex stations. Don't get too hung up on ticking tourist sights off your list: for most visitors, the biggest part of the Tokyo experience is just wandering around at random and absorbing the vibe, poking your head into shops selling weird and wonderful things, sampling restaurants where you can't recognize a single thing on the menu (or on your plate), and finding unexpected oases of calm in the tranquil grounds of a neighbourhood Shinto shrine. It's all perfectly safe, and the locals will go to sometimes extraordinary lengths to help you if you just ask. Expenses[ edit ] The cost of living in Tokyo is not as astronomical as it once was. Deflation and market pressures have helped to make costs in Tokyo comparable to most other large cities. Visitors from San Francisco , Los Angeles , New York , and London will likely not find it any more expensive than back home. Travellers should budget a similar amount of money for their stay in Tokyo as they would for any other great city in Europe , North America or Australia . Locals will know the bargains, but experienced cheapskates from anywhere in the world can get by with a little ingenuity. Tokyo is one of the most popular places to live in Japan. It is also rated the fifth most expensive city to live in, in the world. Rent for a single's apartment could range from USD500 to USD1,000 a month. Tokyo is so overwhelmingly crowded that apartments are usually no bigger than 175 square feet (16 square meters). Climate[ edit ] Ueno park cherry blossoms Tokyo is classified as lying in the humid subtropical climate zone and has four distinct seasons. Summers are usually hot and humid with a temperature range of about 20-30°C (68-86°F), though it can sometimes climb into the high thirties. Winters are usually mild, with temperatures

Perfect for fans of C.Clare, S.J Maas, J.K Rowling & M.Meyer. Ad feedback Special Offers and Product Promotions Editorial Reviews Amazon.com Review Edgar Rice Burroughs (1875-1950) was a prodigiously productive writer of pulp fictions--literary entertainments, that is, published in inexpensive, easily obtained periodicals. His style was simple and instantly accessible, his stories riveting if often implausible tales of adventure, and of good overcoming evil. Burroughs wasn't much of an artist. But, as Mike Resnick writes in his introduction to this commemorative edition of Burroughs's immensely popular trilogy The Land That Time Forgot, first published in 1924, almost every book Burroughs wrote remains in print, and countless readers turn to his Mars and Tarzan novels every day. In Land, Burroughs concocts a fabulous microworld, located somewhere in the South Pacific, called Caspak. On this mountainous island live winged, humanlike creatures, dinosaurs, ferocious beasts of prey, Neanderthals, "wild ape-men," and monstrous reptiles; they terrorize each other, to say nothing of the mixed crew of World War I-era adventurers who inadvertently land on a Caspakian beach and fight their way across the island, dining on Plesiosaurus steaks and having a grand old time in the company of a jungle princess. The story streaks onward like a bullet toward its surprise ending, and it's pure fun all the way. --Gregory McNamee --This text refers to the Kindle Edition edition.

See the playlist on my youtube channel.Enjoy! https://www.youtube.com/user/nurettin... Warsaw-Warszawa/Poland Warsaw (Polish: Warszawa) is the capital and largest city of Poland. It stands on the Vistula River in east-central Poland, roughly 260 kilometres (160 mi) from the Baltic Sea and 300 kilometres (190 mi) from the Carpathian Mountains. Its population is estimated at 1.740 million residents within a greater metropolitan area of 2.666 million residents, which makes Warsaw the 9th most-populous capital city in the European Union. The city limits cover 516.9 square kilometres (199.6 sq mi), while the metropolitan area covers 6,100.43 square kilometres (2,355.39 sq mi). In 2012 the Economist Intelligence Unit ranked Warsaw as the 32nd most liveable city in the World. It was also ranked as one of the most liveable cities in Central Europe. Today Warsaw is considered an "Alpha–" global city, a major international tourist destination and a significant cultural, political and economic hub. Warsaw's economy, by a wide variety of industries, is characterised by FMCG manufacturing, metal processing, steel and electronic manufacturing and food processing. The city is a significant centre of research and development, BPO, ITO, as well as of the Polish media industry. The Warsaw Stock Exchange is one of the largest and most important in Central and Eastern Europe. Frontex, the European Union agency for external border security, has its headquarters in Warsaw. It has been said that Warsaw, together with Frankfurt, London, Paris and Barcelona is one of the cities with the highest number of skyscrapers in the European Union.Warsaw has also been called "Eastern Europe’s chic cultural capital with thriving art and club scenes and serious restaurants". The first historical reference to Warsaw dates back to the year 1313, at a time when Kraków served as the Polish capital city. Due to its central location between the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth's capitals of Kraków and Vilnius, Warsaw became the capital of the Commonwealth and of the Crown of the Kingdom of Poland when King Sigismund III Vasa moved his court from Kraków to Warsaw in 1596. After the Third Partition of Poland in 1795, Warsaw was incorporated into the Kingdom of Prussia. In 1806 during the Napoleonic Wars, the city became the official capital of the Grand Duchy of Warsaw, a puppet state of the First French Empire established by Napoleon Bonaparte. In accordance with the decisions of the Congress of Vienna, the Russian Empire annexed Warsaw in 1815 and it became part of the "Congress Kingdom". Only in 1918 did it regain independence from the foreign rule and emerge as a new capital of the independent Republic of Poland. The German invasion in 1939, the massacre of the Jewish population and deportations to concentration camps led to the uprising in the Warsaw ghetto in 1943 and to the major and devastating Warsaw Uprising between August and October 1944. Warsaw gained the title of the "Phoenix City" because it has survived many wars, conflicts and invasions throughout its long history. Most notably, the city required painstaking rebuilding after the extensive damage it suffered in World War II, which destroyed 85% of its buildings. On 9 November 1940, the city was awarded Poland's highest military decoration for heroism, the Virtuti Militari, during the Siege of Warsaw (1939). The city is the seat of a Roman Catholic archdiocese (left bank of the Vistula) and diocese (right bank), and possesses various universities, most notably the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Warsaw, two opera houses, theatres, museums, li


Which tennis player played in four men's singles finals at Wimbledon between 1967 and 1971, winning the title on three occasions?

Tennis – ‘the golden age’ of the 1960s–70s and beyond | australia.gov.au Tennis – ‘the golden age’ of the 1960s–70s and beyond Tennis – ‘the golden age’ of the 1960s–70s and beyond Mark Woodforde, Doubles Champion 1989–2000 Australians dominated world tennis in the 1950s and 1960s in major events known as Grand Slam tournaments: the Australian, French and United States Open, and Wimbledon in the UK. This period was known as the ‘golden age’ of Australian tennis. In the 1960s, men's tennis open titles were dominated by six Australian men: Rod Laver, Roy Emerson, John Newcombe, Tony Roche, Ken Rosewall, and Fred Stolle. Between 1961 and 1970, Australian men's tennis champions won at least one Open Singles title every year at either Wimbledon or the French or US Opens, as well as the Australian Open titles. In men's tennis, the golden age culminated in 1969 with Rod Laver's second Grand Slam win, as well as four major titles in the same year. Margaret Court, courtesy of Australian Open In 1970, Margaret Court also completed the Grand Slam. Court is one of only three women ever to win four international tennis open titles in one year. Indigenous player Evonne Goolagong Cawley was also a strong force in women's tennis in Australia in the 1970s with wins at Wimbledon, the French and the Australian Opens. The ‘golden age’ for Australian tennis players declined from 1969 when amateur players were joined by professionals. Also by the 1980s, the Australian Open synchronised its dates to begin in January in line with the European, UK and USA players events schedule, which greatly widened the pool of players. Yet even following the decline of Australia's dominance in the Grand Slam tournaments, tennis remained popular in urban areas and the Australian Open grows in popularity as a spectator sport. Early tennis development 1900s–1950s The golden age of Australian tennis was built on the early successes of both men's and women's tennis with Grand Slam tournament winners: Norman Brookes in the 1900s to 1919, Jack Crawford in the early 1930s, and Harry Hopman from 1929–39. This was in tandem with the consistent wins and popularity of women's tennis from the 1920s to the 1950s. Daphne Akhurst reached the Wimbledon final in 1925 and won the Doubles in 1928. From the1930s to the 1950s, Nancy Bolton got to the USA Singles Open and won other titles with her doubles partner, Thelma Long. Bolton was ranked No.4 in 1947 and stayed in that position until 1949. This series of wins in the amateur Grand Slam tournament titles of the 1940s and 1950s was made possible by extensive community and industry support, and investment in the development and administration of amateur tennis players. Harry Hopman, courtesy of Australian Open Harry Hopman was a captain turned coach of 22 Australian Davis Cup teams between 1939 and 1967. As coach Hopman guided Australian male tennis players to 15 Davis Cup victories in 20 years. Ken Rosewall, Frank Sedgeman, John Bromwich, Evonne Goolagong Cawley, Lew Hoad and Margaret Smith Court were all either trained by Harry Hopman or managed by Nell Hopman. ( The Hopman Era: Australia on the Rise) Amateurs, tennis community and industry in the 1960s By 1969 the game started to change. Professional players were invited to join the amateurs at the Grand Slam tournaments and prize money was offered for the first time, different tennis court surfaces and different game strategies emerged, and metal racquets were introduced. Professional versus amateur In 1969, the Australian Open Championships became 'open' to amateurs and professionals. This followed in the footsteps of the French Open, Roland Garros, Wimbledon, UK, and the USA Open. Rod Laver returned to win his second grand slam in 1969. The advantages to amateur Australian champions who had enjoyed the riches of the Davis Cup endorsements soon disappeared with the advent of ‘open’ tennis. The end of the golden age was seen in the average age of the Davis Cup team, which was 35 years. It was another 18 years until Pat Cash, another Australian man, won the men's singles titl


The Battle of Shiloh of 1862, also known as The Battle of Pittsburg Landing was a battle that took place during which war?

Battle of Shiloh ~ Civil War Battles 10:35 PM Posted by Peace Keeper The Battle of Shiloh, also known as the Battle of Pittsburg Landing, was a major battle in the Western Theater of the American Civil War, fought April 6–7, 1862, in southwestern Tennessee. A Union army under Maj. Gen. Ulysses S. Grant had moved via the Tennessee River deep into Tennessee and was encamped principally at Pittsburg Landing on the west bank of the river. Confederate forces under Generals Albert Sidney Johnston and P.G.T. Beauregard launched a surprise attack on Grant there. The Confederates achieved considerable success on the first day, but were ultimately defeated on the second day. On the first day of the battle, the Confederates struck with the intention of driving the Union defenders away from the river and into the swamps of Owl Creek to the west, hoping to defeat Grant's Army of the Tennessee before the anticipated arrival of Maj. Gen. Don Carlos Buell's Army of the Ohio. The Confederate battle lines became confused during the fierce fighting, and Grant's men instead fell back to the northeast, in the direction of Pittsburg Landing. A position on a slightly sunken road, nicknamed the "Hornet's Nest", defended by the men of Brig. Gens. Benjamin M. Prentiss's and W.H.L. Wallace's divisions, provided critical time for the rest of the Union line to stabilize under the protection of numerous artillery batteries. Gen. Johnston was killed during the first day of fighting, and Beauregard, his second in command, decided against assaulting the final Union position that night. Reinforcements from Gen. Buell and from Grant's own army arrived in the evening and turned the tide the next morning, when the Union commanders launched a counterattack along the entire line. The Confederates were forced to retreat from the bloodiest battle in United States history up to that time, ending their hopes that they could block the Union advance into northern Mississippi. Background and opposing forces After the losses of Fort Henry and Fort Donelson in February 1862, Confederate General Albert Sidney Johnston withdrew his forces into western Tennessee, northern Mississippi, and Alabama to reorganize. In early March, Union Maj. Gen. Henry W. Halleck, then commander of the Department of the Missouri, responded by ordering Grant to advance his Army of West Tennessee (soon to be known by its more famous name, the Army of the Tennessee) on an invasion up the Tennessee River. Halleck then ordered Grant to remain at Fort Henry and turn field command of the expedition over to a subordinate, C.F. Smith, just nominated as a major general. Various writers assert that Halleck took this step because of professional and personal animosity toward Grant. However, Halleck shortly restored Grant to full command, perhaps influenced by an inquiry from President Abraham Lincoln. By early April, Grant had five divisions at Pittsburg Landing, Tennessee, and a sixth nearby. Meanwhile, Halleck's command was enlarged and renamed the Department of the Mississippi. Now having command over Buell's Army of the Ohio, Halleck ordered Buell to concentrate with Grant. Buell duly commenced a march with much of his army from Nashville toward Pittsburg Landing. Halleck intended to take the field in person and lead both armies in an advance south to seize the Memphis & Charleston Railroad, a vital supply line between the Mississippi River Valley, Memphis, and Richmond. Maj. Gen. Lew Wallace, USA Lew Wallace's lost division Wallace's group had been left as reserves near Crump's Landing at a place called Stoney Lonesome to the rear of the Union line. At the appearance of the Confederates, Grant sent orders for Wallace to move his unit up to support Sherman. Wallace took a route different from the one Grant intended (claiming later that there was ambiguity to Grant's order). Wallace arrived at the end of his march to find that Sherman had been forced back and was no longer where Wallace thought he was. Moreover, the battle line had moved so far that Wallace now found


Commonly found throughout the Southern USA and the Northern half of Mexico what type of creature is a Coachwhip?

New Mexico Mammals field guide Habitat: They prefer mountain forests, shrub lands, and grasslands.   Physical Description: Mexican wolves are the smallest sub species of the Grey Wolf. The height is a maximum of 32ï¿½ and no greater than 4.5 ft. Their coat is a combo of brown, gray, rust, and tan. The tail, legs, and ears are often highlighted in black.   Main foods: They eat mainly deer and elk in the wild. The wolf may also eat livestock, pronghorn, rabbits, javelins, and other small mammals.   Behavior: There are usually 5 or 6 wolves in a pack, mainly the alpha pair and their offspring of that year. Packs rarely encounter each other because of the boundaries formed though howling and sent marking.   Niche: Carnivorous, preys on deer, antelope, javelins, rabbits, and small mammals, as well as carrion. The pack size is smaller than northern packs.   Interactions with other species: Mexican Wolves will kill coyotes, and cougars will kill the wolves. They also have deadly interactions with humans. A pack of Mexican Wolves have been reintroduced to Western Mew Mexico ), through forested areas, to shrub lands.   Habitat:ï¿½ Mexican grey wolves prefer the oak and pine/juniper savannahs and mixed conifer woodlands above 4,000 feet, and would avoid desert areas   Physical Description: The Mexican gray wolf is a large dog-like carnivore, weighing between sixty and eighty pounds. Their coat is colored reddish brown, tan, black, and gray, with a whitish chin and throat.   Main Foods: Depending on the area the wolf lives, in a pack, they can take down deer, javelina, sheep, antelope and even cattle, while alone, will hunt out smaller mammals, like rabbits, mice, ground birds, etc.   Behavior: Wolves live in packs, ranging from a small family group of 3 or 4, to large packs of 10 or more. Wolves interact using body language, such as the position of their ears, tail, neck, and facial expressions, as well as barks, yips, snarls, and howls. The pack always has an alpha male and female, who are they only ones allowed to mate, and will go to great lengths to keep their status.   Niche: Wolves take the sick, weak and old animals, while hunting, making it easier for them, and keeping that herd and population healthy and strong. For example, Wolves also play a strong role, in the riparian banks of Yellowstone . Where they wolf population would keep down the elk population, which would eat the tree saplings, not allowing them to grow, which would essentially lead to erosion.   Interactions with other species: Wolves would interact with their prey, and are rarely seen playing with small mammals, and have been known to kill coyotes and even mountain lions. They also rarely interact with other packs of wolves, unless threatened.   Threats to species: The Mexican grey wolf is actually an endangered species, and have threats of becoming extinct. This happened because of the bounty once put on wolves heads, and from ranchers killing them off.   Sources:ï¿½ http://www.thebigzoo.com/Animals/Mexican_Gray_Wolf.asp ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ http://www.scz.org/animals/w/mgwolf.html ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ http://www.pima.gov/cmo/sdcp/sdcp2/fsheets/wolf.html Environmental Science Field Guide to New Mexico ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ Page Author: Carlosï¿½   Species common name(s):Cougar, Mountain Lion, Puma, Catamount, Deer Tiger, Indian Devil Scientific Name: Felis concolor ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ï¿½ ï¿½ ï¿½Range: The Cougar is can be found in Canada/USA borders, Big Muddy River on the Alaska highway they can also be found on most coastal islands.   Habitat: The Cougar is found only in the Westernhemisphere of the Americas generally in mountainous areasï¿½   Physical Description: The fur of this large cat is reddish-brown to grey brown with white on the underside and the tail is black tipped.

It was their only single to debut at #1 in the official BBC/Record Retailer singles chart and was the debut chart appearence for Preston, who went on to moderate success as a solo artist. Apart from Preston, and Al Martino, who debuted at number one by default in the very first chart, no act aside from charity collectives scored an instant number one hit until Whigfield nearly 42 years later. Here is the list of acts who have started at the very top since then: 17.09.94 Whigfield Saturday Night 20.05.95 Robson Green and Jerome Flynn Unchained Melody / The White Cliffs Of Dover 27.01.96 Babylon Zoo Spaceman 01.06.96 Baddiel and Skinner and The Lightning Seeds Three Lions 21.12.95 Dunblane Knockin' On Heaven's Door / Throw These Guns Away 25.01.97 White Town Abort, Retry, Fail?

Dunblane were a charity ensemble, but unlike previous charity ensembles they were not made up of previously-charting acts. Babylon Zoo and White Town both debuted at #1 with major-label reissues of previously unsuccessful independent singles. Dunblane, Teletubbies and Baz Luhrmann all debuted at number one with their only single releases. So Solid Crew's previous single "Oh No (Sentimental Things)" would have charted at #13 the previous year, but was disqualified for having too many tracks. So Solid Crew members Megaman, Lisa Maffia and Romeo had previously appeared on Oxide & Neutrino's hit "No Good 4 Me". All formats of 21 Seconds consistently give the artist credit as So Solid Crew Present 21 Seconds rather than simply So Solid Crew. The Baz Luhrmann Presents... record has the additional credit "performed by Quindon Tarver" hidden away in the detailed credits. The single is a remix of Tarver's cover of Rozalla's hit Everybody's Free (To Feel Good). Tarver can therefore also legitimately claim to have gone straight in at number one with his first hit. "Featured" artists who have made their chart debuts at number one are: 28.10.95 Coolio featuring LV Gangsta's Paradise 28.06.97 Puff Daddy featuring Faith Evans and 112 I'll Be Missing You 06.02.99 Armand Van Helden featuring Duane Harden You Don't Know Me 10.03.01 Shaggy featuring Rikrok It Wasn't Me 22.03.03 Gareth Gates and The Kumars Spirit In T

Endangered Species Of Animals In Texas by Editor on April 4, 2011 The Jaguarundi Is One Of Four Species Of Endangered Or Threatened Texas Cat. Photo:Bodlina Texas Has It’s Own List Of Endangered Species Of Animals Like all states, Texas is home to many species of animals that are protected under the U.S. Endangered Species Act (ESA). Also like other states, Texas maintains its own list of Endangered and Threatened species. There are 145 Texas animals on the state list of endangered and threatened species, including 29 mammal species, 32 fish species, 24 snakes and other reptiles, 13 frogs, toads, salamanders, and other amphibians, and 17 endangered invertebrate species. Of all the species listed as endangered or threatened by the State of Texas, some are also protected as endangered or threatened under the ESA. Endangered or threatened animals listed by both the state and federal governments include 11 mammal species, 11 fish species, 6 reptile species, 13 amphibian species, and 2 invertebrate species. In addition, the ESA provides protection for another 19 insects, spiders, snails, and other invertebrates that are not listed as endangered or threatened by the state. A listing as endangered or threatened protects a species and its habitat by legally restricting human activities that might push the species further toward extinction. Mammals on both the state and federal lists include three cat species: the jaguar, the ocelot, and the jaguarundi (see photo, above), all of which are listed as Endangered. The jaguar likely no longer exists in the state. A fourth wild cat, the diminutive margay, is listed as Threatened on the state list alone. The gray wolf and the red wolf are categorized as Endangered on both lists even though the gray wolf has likely been extirpated from the state, and the remaining 17 red wolves were rounded up many years ago and placed in captive breeding programs. Also among Texas’ endangered and threatened mammals (one or both lists) are four bat species, two native rats, a mouse, 12 whales and dolphins, and the West Indian manatee, which is classified as an Endangered Species on both the state list and under the ESA. Fish on one or both lists include the paddlefish (Threatened on the state list), the Devil’s River minnow (Threatened, both lists), the Comanche Springs pupfish (Endangered, both lists), and the smalltooth sawfish (Endangered, both lists). There are 9 tortoise, turtle, and sea turtle species on the lists of endangered and threatened reptiles, along with 12 snakes, including the timber, or canebrake, rattlesnake. Among listed amphibians are 8 salamanders and newts, and 5 frog and toad species, including the Endangered (both lists) Houston toad, the Threatened (state only) Mexican tree frog, and the Threatened (state only) Mexican burrowing toad. Birds classified as endangered species on both lists include the red cockaded woodpecker, the Southwestern willow flycatcher, the whooping crane, the golden-cheeked warbler, Attwater’s greater prairie chicken, the northern aplomado falcon, the piping plover, and the Eskimo curlew. Of 16 snail and mollusk species listed by the State of Texas, only one—the Endangered Pecos Assiminea snail—is also protected under the ESA. Texas spiders, however—some of which have very colorful names— are protected only under the ESA. Some threatened and endangered spider species are the Tooth Cave spider, the Bone Cave harvestman, the Robber Baron Cave meshweaver, and the Bracken Bat Cave Meshweaver. Likewise, the 9 protected insects in Texas—all of them beetles, and all of them classified as Endangered—are listed under the ESA, and are not on the state’s list of endangered and threatened species. The endangered beetles include the Coffin Cave mold beetle, the Tooth Cave round beetle, and the Comal Springs riffle beetle. Look here for the full list of Texas species classified as Endangered or Threatened by the state or federal governments.

Which British multinational drinks restaurant chain, established in 1971, is adertised by featuring three beans inside a circle?

Tesco - Wikipedia, Photos and Videos Tesco NEXT GO TO RESULTS [51 .. 100] WIKIPEDIA ARTICLE For other uses, see Tesco (disambiguation) . Tesco PLC 6,902 stores (As of September 2016) [1] > (see table below) [2] Key people .com Tesco PLC is a British multinational grocery and general merchandise retailer with headquarters in Welwyn Garden City , Hertfordshire , England, United Kingdom. [4] It is the third largest retailer in the world measured by profits [5] [6] and fifth-largest retailer in the world measured by revenues. It has stores in 12 countries across Asia and Europe and is the grocery market leader in the UK (where it has a market share of around 28.4%), Ireland , Hungary , [7] Malaysia , and Thailand . [8] [9] Tesco was founded in 1919 by Jack Cohen as a group of market stalls. [10] The Tesco name first appeared in 1924, after Cohen purchased a shipment of tea from T. E. Stockwell and combined those initials with the first two letters of his surname, [11] and the first Tesco store opened in 1931 (or 1929) [12] in Burnt Oak , Barnet . [13] [14] [15] His business expanded rapidly, and by 1939 he had over 100 Tesco stores across the country. [16] Originally a UK grocery retailer, Tesco has diversified geographically since the early 1990s and into areas such as the retailing of books, clothing, electronics, furniture, toys, petrol and software; financial services ; telecoms and internet services. The 1990s saw Tesco reposition itself; it moved from being a down-market high-volume low-cost retailer, to one which appeals across many social groups, by offering products ranging from its "Tesco Value" items (launched 1993 [10] ) to its "Tesco Finest" range. This broadening of its appeal was successful, and saw the chain grow from 500 stores in the mid-1990s to 2,500 stores fifteen years later. [17] Tesco is listed on the London Stock Exchange and is a constituent of the FTSE 100 Index . It had a market capitalization of approximately £18.1 billion as of 22 April 2015, the 28th-largest of any company with a primary listing on the London Stock Exchange. [18] Contents History Origins Jack Cohen , the son of Jewish migrants from Poland, founded Tesco in 1919 when he began to sell war-surplus groceries from a stall at Well Street Market, Hackney, in the East End of London . [11] The Tesco brand first appeared in 1924. The name came about after Jack Cohen bought a shipment of tea from Thomas Edward Stockwell. He made new labels using the initials of the supplier's name (TES), and the first two letters of his surname (CO), forming the word TESCO. [11] After experimenting with his first permanent indoor market stall at Tooting in November 1930, Jack Cohen opened the first Tesco store in September 1931 at 54 Watling Street, Burnt Oak , Edgware , Middlesex. [13] [14] [15] Tesco was floated on the London Stock Exchange in 1947 as Tesco Stores (Holdings) Limited. [11] The first self-service store opened in St Albans in 1956 (which remained operational until 2010 before relocating to a larger premises on the same street, with a period as a Tesco Metro), [19] and the first supermarket in Maldon in 1956.
