If Winston Churchill was the first post war Prime Minister, Clement Atlee was second, Churchill third, and Anthony Eden fourth, who was 5th?

Winston Churchill - Wikiquote Winston Churchill Jump to: navigation , search Let us therefore brace ourselves to our duties, and so bear ourselves that, if the British Empire and its Commonwealth last for a thousand years, men will still say, 'This was their finest hour.' Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill KG OM CH TD FRS PC (Can) ( November 30 , 1874 – January 24 , 1965 ) was a British politician and statesman, best known for his leadership of the United Kingdom during World War II. He was Prime Minister of the UK from 1940 to 1945 and again from 1951 to 1955. He received the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1953. Contents Early career years (1898–1929)[ edit ] To improve is to change, so to be perfect is to have changed often. Every influence, every motive, that provokes the spirit of murder among men, impels these mountaineers to deeds of treachery and violence. The strong aboriginal propensity to kill, inherent in all human beings, has in these valleys been preserved in unexampled strength and vigour. That religion, which above all others was founded and propagated by the sword — the tenets and principles of which are instinct with incentives to slaughter and which in three continents has produced fighting breeds of men — stimulates a wild and merciless fanaticism. The love of plunder, always a characteristic of hill tribes, is fostered by the spectacle of opulence and luxury which, to their eyes, the cities and plains of the south display. A code of honour not less punctilious than that of old Spain, is supported by vendettas as implacable as those of Corsica. Description of the tribal areas of what is now Pakistan , commonly referred to as Waziristan Downloadable etext version(s) of this book can be found online at Project Gutenberg It is, thank heaven, difficult if not impossible for the modern European to fully appreciate the force which fanaticism exercises among an ignorant, warlike and Oriental population. Several generations have elapsed since the nations of the West have drawn the sword in religious controversy, and the evil memories of the gloomy past have soon faded in the strong, clear light of Rationalism and human sympathy. Indeed it is evident that Christianity, however degraded and distorted by cruelty and intolerance, must always exert a modifying influence on men's passions, and protect them from the more violent forms of fanatical fever, as we are protected from smallpox by vaccination. But the Mahommedan religion increases, instead of lessening, the fury of intolerance. It was originally propagated by the sword, and ever since, its votaries have been subject, above the people of all other creeds, to this form of madness. In a moment the fruits of patient toil, the prospects of material prosperity, the fear of death itself, are flung aside. The more emotional Pathans are powerless to resist. All rational considerations are forgotten. Seizing their weapons, they become Ghazis—as dangerous and as sensible as mad dogs: fit only to be treated as such. While the more generous spirits among the tribesmen become convulsed in an ecstasy of religious bloodthirstiness, poorer and more material souls derive additional impulses from the influence of others, the hopes of plunder and the joy of fighting. Thus whole nations are roused to arms. Thus the Turks repel their enemies, the Arabs of the Soudan break the British squares, and the rising on the Indian frontier spreads far and wide. In each case civilisation is confronted with militant Mahommedanism. The forces of progress clash with those of reaction. The religion of blood and war is face to face with that of peace. Luckily the religion of peace is usually the better armed. The Story of the Malakand Field Force: An Episode of Frontier War (1898), Chapter III.

If Elton John has had 7, ABBA have had 9, and Cliff Richard has had 14, who has had the most with 21?

Beatles' long reign at number one in singles chart - BBC News BBC News Beatles' long reign at number one in singles chart 4 June 2012 From the section Entertainment & Arts comments Image caption The Beatles made their chart debut in 1962 with Love Me Do The Beatles have been declared the biggest selling singles act under the Queen's 60-year reign. The Fab Four, who split more than 40 years ago, had 17 number ones during their eight-year chart domination. They held off artists such as runner-up Elvis Presley, Sir Cliff Richard and Madonna. BBC Radio 2 is to broadcast a countdown of the 60 biggest selling artists since the singles chart began in 1952 - the year the Queen took the throne. Top 10 biggest selling singles acts 1. Beatles 9. David Bowie 10. Rihanna Elvis has continued to have strong sales over the past 10 years thanks to a reissue campaign with tracks such as A Little Less Conversation. Sir Cliff has had 124 top 40 hits and 14 number ones in the list compiled by the Official Charts Company. And Madonna has made the top 40 more than 60 times. Rihanna, who only made her debut chart position in 2005, is in 10th place, yet the Rolling Stones only reached number 13.

If the equator crosses Africa's West coast in the country of Gabon, in which country does it cross the East coast?

Which African countries does the equator pass through? | Reference.com Which African countries does the equator pass through? A: Quick Answer The equator passes through the African countries of Gabon, Congo, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Uganda, Kenya and Somalia. In total, the equator passes through 12 countries. Full Answer In addition to the six African countries that the equator passes through, it also passes through Ecuador, Colombia, Brazil, Maldives, Indonesia, Kiribati and Sao Torne and Principe. The equator represents a great circle that is equal distance from both poles on the Earth, the North and South Poles. It divides the Earth into the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. The tropics are more likely to be found around the equator and as a result, temperatures are consistently hotter in these areas of the world than any others.


If this character was played by Michael Keaton in 1989, Val Kilmer in 1995, and George Clooney in 1997, who played him in 2008?

What are the various Batman movies in the series? (In order) - Quora Quora Movies What are the various Batman movies in the series? (In order) I have recently downloaded "Batman Begins" as my friend showed me few scenes and I truly liked them. So can someone tell me what are the next in this series in order? I would like to watch them. Batman (1989) Directed by Tim Burton and starring Michael Keaton, Batman is considered to be a cult classic among the dark knight fans. The movie set up the dark and gritty Batman which was in stark contrast with Adam West's portrayal.  The movie is also credited to have paved the path for future superhero movies.  Batman Returns (1992) Tim Burton and Michael Keaton came together again to make the sequel to much acclaimed Batman.  Although the movie was able to hold its own weight, the reviews were a little mixed considering the comparisons with previous movie in the series. Batman Forever (1995) Due to the unexpectedly low box office collections of Batman Returns, Warner Bros. replaced Burton with Joel Schumacher and Keaton with Val Kilmer.  A little over the top, especially for the current generation, Batman Forever is a movie you can watch for Jim Carrey being Jim Carrey. Batman & Robin (1997) Joel Schumacher returned as the director, whereas Val Kilmer was replaced by George Clooney.  Hailed as one of the worst superhero movies ever, you might want to stay clear of this one. Weird dialogues accompanied with a toy-ish feel, the movie fails to impress big time.  And no one can really forget the Bat Nipple fiasco.   Batman Begins (2005) Christopher Nolan and Christian Bale came together to revive a character that had been massacred by Schumacher and Clooney.  And boy was it worth it. The first installment of the best superhero trilogy ever, Batman Begins proved to be exactly what the doctor ordered.  A dark, gritty, humane interpretation of the character that was as close to the comic book version as one could get.  Also one of the best origins movie ever. The best superhero movie ever made.  Heath Ledger as Joker is one of the most iconic roles in the entire history of films.  The movie is full of memorable dialogues, beautiful scenes, wonderful acting, and awe inspiring direction. Personally, this is the movie that comes closest to absolute cinematic perfection for me. The Dark Knight Rises (2012) A worthy ending to a great story.  It really speaks about the greatness of a trilogy when a movie of the level of The Dark Knight Rises is actually the third best movie of the series.  Tom Hardy as Bane was phenomenal.  Christian Bale is yet to disappoint me.  And Nolan is just a wonderfully beautiful creation that we should all be thankful for. . . Most of the earlier movies can be described as 'era appropriate'.  You might not like them considering a couple of decades have passed since their releases.  Except Batman & Robin, all the other movies are worth a watch at the very least.  Though if you really want to familiarize yourself with Batman, you might want to start reading comic books. . Here are the actors who have played Batman on the silver screen over the decades. (in chronological order) . Batman (1989) and Batman Returns (1992) . Batman Begins (2005),  The Dark Knight (2008), and The Dark Knight Returns (2012) . Batman v Superman: Dawn Of Justice (2016) 34.4k Views · View Upvotes · Answer requested by Written Oct 7 First ever Batman feature film, Batman, came out in 1966, starring Adam West as Batman and Burt Ward as Robin, who reprised their roles from the 1960s Batman and Robin TV show. Tim Burton directed the first Batman movie produced by WB in 1989, Batman, staring Michael Keaton as Batman and Jack Nicholson as The Joker. This is the only film that has a reference to Joker’s real name, Jack Napier. The duo returned in 1992 with the sequel Batman Returns, which according to many fans is the best Batman movie ever. WB wished for a change in direction and recruited Joel Schumacher, which ultimately lead Michael Keaton to decline the role of Batman, being unhappy with the change in

The band Kaiser Chiefs took their name from a football club in which country?

Kaiser Chiefs - Band Name Explained Band Name Explained Kaiser Chiefs Alternative rock band from Leeds, England.  The Chiefs members are fervent supporters of their local football club, Leeds United. Lucas Radebe (born 1969) played for Leeds and was bought by the South African football club Kaizer Chiefs (note the 'z'). Radebe started as goalkeeper, became a midfielder and ended up as central defender; he did so well on that position that he inspired many young football fans – among them the members of the Kaiser Chiefs, who took their new band name from Lucas' old club.  Before that time - from 1996 to 2003 - the Chiefs were called Runston Parva. Later that was shortened to Parva, when it became clear that a spelling error had been made: the hamlet their original name came from was called Ruston Parva, no 'n' between the 'u' and the 's'.

Which British band named themselves after the villain from the sci-fi movie Barbarella?

Weird Origins of 8 Popular Band Names - Neatorama Neatorama • 3 There are some weird bands out there with some even weirder names. Here's a collection of bands and the story of how they came up with their titles. If you have any bands you're curious about, list them in the comments, I might do a part two of this article if you all like it. Pink Floyd Pink Floyd was originally called "The Tea Set," but changed their moniker after finding a group of the same name was booked at a show they were scheduled to play. The band decided to change their name to "The Pink Floyd Sound" –later shortened to "Pink Floyd" -after seeing the names "Pink Anderson" and "Floyd Council" on the notes of a Blind Boy Fuller album. It’s likely all for the best, would you go and see a movie called “The Tea Set’s The Wall?” Source Image via Tea Set on Wikipedia Black Sabbath Ozzy’s band of mischief didn’t start off nearly as dark as it ended up. The group’s first name was "The Polka Tulk Blues Company," which was soon shortened to just “Polka Tulk.” After a while, they renamed themselves “Earth,” but had to change their name again when they found out there was another British band with that name. One day, bassist Geezer Butler saw a bunch of people lined up at the theater across the street from their rehearsal room. The movie showing was the Boris Karloff movie Black Sabbath. He noted how much money people spend to see scary films and used the film’s title for a song he wrote inspired by occult writer Dennis Wheatley. This song changed the entire music direction of the band and they started playing much darker songs than other musicians of the time. In 1969, the group decided to change their name to "Black Sabbath" to reflect their new decision to make the musical version of horror movies. Source | Image Via IMDB Lynyrd Skynyrd The original band was called “The Noble Five” and the year after it was changed to “My Backyard.” By 1970, it was obvious the group needed a new moniker. They decided on "Leonard Skinnerd," to make fun of their high school gym teacher Leonard Skinner, who frequently harassed boys to maintain the school dress code that banned long hair. They changed the spelling before they released their first album and the rest was history. Source Motörhead Before founding Motörhead, Lemmy Killmister was in a psychedelic rock group called Hawkwind. He was a heavy user of amphetamines and the last song he wrote for the band was called "Motorhead" –a British expression for a speed freak. Lemmy also held onto that song and it became a standard of the Motörhead lineup. The umlauts in the band name mean nothing -he just thought they sounded cool. Source Joy Division History buffs may know the term “joy division” to mean a prostitution division of a concentration camp, it was used to reward prisoners and guards alike. It’s interesting that a term this vile has lost most of its meaning, as most people merely associate it with the band, who adopted the name after reading the term in the 1955 novel The House of Dolls. Source Duran Duran Here’s a group that got the right name, right away. But where did “Duran Duran” come from? The villain in Barbarella, a really bad B-movie, was called “Dr. Durand Durand.” Source Image Via Barbarella on Wikipedia Porno For Pyros After leaving Jayne’s Addiction, band members Perry Farrell and Stephen Perkins wanted to start up a new project. Farrell was looking in a porno magazine where he saw an ad for fireworks. The name fits even better when you consider that right around the time of their inception, the LA Riots had just happened. Source Gogol Bordello The band was originally called "Hütz and the Béla Bartóks," but they decided to change it because, according to singer Eugene Hütz, no one in America knows about Béla Bartók (in case you don’t know, he is a Hungarian composer considered by many to be the best composer of the twentieth century). As a result, the group changed their name to Gogol Bordello. “Gogol” referencing writer Nikolai Gogol because the band considered him to have “smuggled” Ukranian culture into

What fruit is nicknamed the Alligator Pear?

Learn these wacky words for avocado. | Dictionary.com Blog July 15, 2010 by:  Dictionary.com 75 Comments As you munch on guacamole and chips , chew on the etymology of the humble avocado. Its many names are as wacky as the fruit is yummy . Guacamole is in the news because a study links the beloved dip to many cases of food poisoning. The reason? Raw ingredients that may not be washed properly or adequately refrigerated. Just be cautious. This news doesn’t dampen our enthusiasm; rather it creates a reason to discuss the provocative nomenclature of the bumpy-shelled fruit. A biologist calls it persea americana, but avocado derives from the Nahuatl word ahuacatl, which also refers to a certain part of the male anatomy that the fruit somewhat resembles. In English, the word has almost the same pronunciation as the Spanish abogado, “lawyer.” In Mexico it is called the aguacate. Use your imagination to understand why the Aztecs called it the fertility fruit. Legend has it that an early English description of “avocado” called it the “avogado pear,” leading to the misunderstanding of “ alligator pear .”  The fact that the shell of the fruit looks vaguely crocodilian doesn’t hurt. In South America, some call it la manzana del invierno, “the apple of the winter.”  But if you happen to be in North America, mash one up with some herbs and lime, perhaps you would call it ahuacamolli, ahuaca “avocado” and molli “sauce.” Hence, guacamole .

When Elisha Graves Otis invented it, he called it the safety hoist. What do we call it now?

Birth: August 3, 1811 in       Halifax, Vermont Death: April 8, 1861 in       Yonkers, New York Nationality: American Invention: elevator,       safety brake in 1852 Function: noun /       elï¿½eï¿½vaï¿½tor Definition: A platform       or an enclosure raised and lowered in a vertical shaft to transport       people or freight. The shaft contains the operating equipment,       motor, cables, and accessories.

The Story: Imagine the skyline of a modern city if the elevator did not exist.   Buildings would be limited to five or six stories. Most of the architecture   of the 20th and 21st century would be impossible. Office towers, hotels and   high-rise apartments would hardly stand in their present form. The need for vertical transport is as old as   civilization. Over the centuries, mankind has employed ingenious forms of   lifting. The earliest lifts used man, animal and water power to raise the   load. Lifting devices relied on these basic forms of power from the early   agricultural societies until the dawn of the Industrial Revolution. From ancient times through the     Middle Ages, and into the 13th century, man or animal power was the driving force behind     hoisting devices. In ancient Greece, Archimedes developed an improved   lifting device operated by ropes and pulleys, in which the hoisting ropes   were coiled around a winding drum by a capstan and levers. By A.D. 80,   gladiators and wild animals rode crude elevators up to the arena level of   the Roman Coliseum. Medieval records contain numerous drawings of hoists lifting men and   supplies to isolated locations. Among the most famous is the hoist at the   monastery of St. Barlaam in Greece. The monastery stood on a pinnacle   approximately (200 ft) above the ground. Its hoist, which employed a basket   or cargo net, was the only means up or down. The first elevator designed for a   passemger was built in 1743 for King Louis XV at his palace in     France. The one-person contraption went up only one floor, from the first to the second.     Known as the "Flying Chair," it was on the outside of the building, and was     entered by the king via his balcony. The mechanism consisted of a carefully balanced     arrangement of weights and pulleys hanging inside a chimney. Men stationed inside the     chimney then raised or lowered the Flying Chair at the king's command.  By 1850 steam and hydraulic elevators had been introduced,     but it was in 1852 that the landmark event in elevator history occurred: the invention of     the world's first safety elevator by Elisha Graves Otis. The first passenger elevator was installed     by Otis in New York in 1857. After Otis' death in 1861, his sons, Charles and


What the Heck is Lanolin? What the Heck is Lanolin? 1 Comment Many people know lanolin to have positive moisture properties for our skin. But what exactly is lanolin and where does it come from? Most people either don’t know that answer or don’t realize the consequences behind using it.  Lanolin is extracted from the wool of sheep, specifically, from their oil glands. Whether you knew this or not doesn’t matter, what matters is whether you buy it or continue to. When buying a product that is made with or from lanolin, you are directly or indirectly supporting the wool industry. If you don’t already know about the horrors of the wool industry be sure to check out the problem with UGG boots  here  and where to find vegan boots  here .  Though extracting lanolin from wool is not itself harmful, the wool industry is. And by buying a product that contains this ingredient, you are still financially supporting them. And whether or not the sheep is killed in the process or getting this wool, sheared or  mulesing  (very cruel!), the sheep will be killed regardless when their production of wool starts to decline or in the process of mulesing itself.  Another question that seems to come up is what exact products is this animal derived ingredient typically found?  Because of lanolin’s protective qualities, it is commonly used in cosmetic creams and lotions designed to smooth and moisturize the skin.  Though this is the most common product, below, you will find that this doesn’t stop it from getting into so many others! Alternatives are not only essential to those who wish to not support this cruel industry but for those who receive allergic reactions. Besides, although this may seem like a natural ingredient, why use an animal derived ingredient if there are alternatives? Animals are not ours to use just as we are not for other human use. Natural ingredients that can be used as an alternative for skin include:  aloe, olive oil, coconut oil, cocoa butter, vitamin E oil, almond oil, or grapeseed oil. Also, there is such thing as vegetable lanolin that is 100% plant based! Products (but are not limited to) that contain lanolin: *Disclaimer: these products may or may not test on animals. Further research is required and can be easily done  here !* ·       St. Ives  Blemish and Blackhead Apricot Scrub *(which in itself is no longer cruelty-free!) ·       Burt’s Bees Lip Shimmer ·        Poison Ivy/Oak/Sumac  (0) The great thing about the links above is you can easily click any category and it will show you all the products that contain lanolin! It’s as simple as this. An easy way to go about this is to simply get in the habit of checking the ingredients of the products you use or to go through the database and see which cruelty-free companies that you already use contain lanolin.  Another caution is for  vegan tattoo  aftercare. Some lotions that you will receive can contain lanolin. Coconut oil is a wonderful alternative to this! Again, these products may or may not be tested on animals. The goal here is to realize how crucial it is to look at ingredients and be aware of what is in them. Though lanolin may not be in all products, it is in a lot more than you would think, as you can see. Just because you know a company is cruelty-free, this doesn’t always mean they don’t contain any animal derived ingredients, Burt’s Bees, for example.  Finding alternatives to products that use animal derived ingredients can be a lot simpler than you’d think. Switching to a 100% natural ingredient like coconut, for example, has wonderful, wonderful benefits for you and for animals! If you’d still rather use a product itself, finding a 100% vegan product can be fairly easy, too. Notice I said fairly since research is required. But, once you adapt and realize which companies do and don’t test, you’ll be a pro before you know it! No animals need to be harmed in order to use a certain product. 99.9% of the time there is a substitute or alternative. You will not only feel better about doing this but the animals will thank you.

The Thirty Years' War was finally ended in 1648 with what peace treaty?

Thirty Years War ends - Oct 24, 1648 - HISTORY.com Thirty Years War ends Publisher A+E Networks The Treaty of Westphalia is signed, ending the Thirty Years War and radically shifting the balance of power in Europe. The Thirty Years War, a series of wars fought by European nations for various reasons, ignited in 1618 over an attempt by the king of Bohemia (the future Holy Roman emperor Ferdinand II) to impose Catholicism throughout his domains. Protestant nobles rebelled, and by the 1630s most of continental Europe was at war. As a result of the Treaty of Westphalia, the Netherlands gained independence from Spain, Sweden gained control of the Baltic and France was acknowledged as the preeminent Western power. The power of the Holy Roman Emperor was broken and the German states were again able to determine the religion of their lands. The principle of state sovereignty emerged as a result of the Treaty of Westphalia and serves as the basis for the modern system of nation-states. Related Videos

Which country was the only original member of OPEC outside of the Middle East?

OPEC Member Countries Map 11,854,977 km² 33,327,700 bbl/day The OPEC member countries map shows a World Map, where all the member countries of OPEC have been highlighted. OPEC stands for the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries. The mission of OPEC is to coordinate and unify petroleum policies of Member Countries. OPEC is made up of eleven developing countries - Algeria, Indonesia, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Libya, Nigeria, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Venezuela. These countries rely on oil revenues as their main source of income. All these countries export oil substantially. The organization aims at coordinating and unifying petroleum policies of its member countries. OPEC also aims at stabilizing prices in the international oil markets. It wants to secure a steady income to the producing countries. OPEC has not succeeded always in putting a stabilizing influence on the market. Oil revenues are vital for the economic development of these nations. The Representatives of OPEC Member Countries (Heads of Delegation) get together at the OPEC Conference to co-ordinate and unify petroleum policies. Their aim is to promote stability and harmony in the oil market. About 40 per cent of the world's oil output comes from the OPEC member countries. They possess more than three-quarters of the world's total proven crude oil reserves.


Name any year that Leonardo Da Vinci was alive.

Leonardo da Vinci - Facts & Summary - HISTORY.com Leonardo da Vinci A+E Networks Introduction Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a painter, architect, inventor, and student of all things scientific. His natural genius crossed so many disciplines that he epitomized the term “Renaissance man.” Today he remains best known for his art, including two paintings that remain among the world’s most famous and admired, Mona Lisa and The Last Supper. Art, da Vinci believed, was indisputably connected with science and nature. Largely self-educated, he filled dozens of secret notebooks with inventions, observations and theories about pursuits from aeronautics to anatomy. But the rest of the world was just beginning to share knowledge in books made with moveable type, and the concepts expressed in his notebooks were often difficult to interpret. As a result, though he was lauded in his time as a great artist, his contemporaries often did not fully appreciate his genius—the combination of intellect and imagination that allowed him to create, at least on paper, such inventions as the bicycle, the helicopter and an airplane based on the physiology and flying capability of a bat. Google Leonardo da Vinci: Early Life and Training Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was born in Anchiano, Tuscany (now Italy), close to the town of Vinci that provided the surname we associate with him today. In his own time he was known just as Leonardo or as “Il Florentine,” since he lived near Florence—and was famed as an artist, inventor and thinker. Did You Know? Leonardo da Vinci’s father, an attorney and notary, and his peasant mother were never married to one another, and Leonardo was the only child they had together. With other partners, they had a total of 17 other children, da Vinci’s half-siblings. Da Vinci’s parents weren’t married, and his mother, Caterina, a peasant, wed another man while da Vinci was very young and began a new family. Beginning around age 5, he lived on the estate in Vinci that belonged to the family of his father, Ser Peiro, an attorney and notary. Da Vinci’s uncle, who had a particular appreciation for nature that da Vinci grew to share, also helped raise him. Leonardo da Vinci: Early Career Da Vinci received no formal education beyond basic reading, writing and math, but his father appreciated his artistic talent and apprenticed him at around age 15 to the noted sculptor and painter Andrea del Verrocchio, of Florence. For about a decade, da Vinci refined his painting and sculpting techniques and trained in mechanical arts. When he was 20, in 1472, the painters’ guild of Florence offered da Vinci membership, but he remained with Verrocchio until he became an independent master in 1478. Around 1482, he began to paint his first commissioned work, The Adoration of the Magi, for Florence’s San Donato, a Scopeto monastery. However, da Vinci never completed that piece, because shortly thereafter he relocated to Milan to work for the ruling Sforza clan, serving as an engineer, painter, architect, designer of court festivals and, most notably, a sculptor. The family asked da Vinci to create a magnificent 16-foot-tall equestrian statue, in bronze, to honor dynasty founder Francesco Sforza. Da Vinci worked on the project on and off for 12 years, and in 1493 a clay model was ready to display. Imminent war, however, meant repurposing the bronze earmarked for the sculpture into cannons, and the clay model was destroyed in the conflict after the ruling Sforza duke fell from power in 1499. Leonardo da Vinci: “The Last Supper” and “Mona Lisa” Although relatively few of da Vinci’s paintings and sculptures survive—in part because his total output was quite small—two of his extant works are among the world’s most well-known and admired paintings. The first is da Vinci’s “The Last Supper,” painted during his time in Milan, from about 1495 to 1498. A tempera and oil mural on plaster, “The Last Supper” was created for the refectory of the city’s Monastery of Santa Maria delle Grazie. Also known as “The Cenacle,” this work measures about 15 by 29 feet and

What is the nickname of Bournemouth F.C.?

AFC Bournemouth history AFC Bournemouth history Posted: Thu 24 May 2012 Author: afcb.co.uk Image by: The Early Years  The present football club can trace its roots as far back as 1890 when Boscombe St. Johns Institute Football Club were playing in local football. They disbanded in 1899 and from the remains of that club, Boscombe FC were formed at a meeting under the streetlights in Gladstone Road, Boscombe.  The Club competed in the Bournemouth and District Junior League playing at a ground in Castlemain Avenue, Pokesdown. They moved to Kings Park, adjacent to the current stadium in 1902 and were soon emerging as the top team in the town.  After enjoying many local successes, they joined the Hampshire League and were attracting large crowds. In 1910, Mr. J.E. Cooper-Dean granted the club on a long lease some wasteland next to Kings Park.  With their own ground, named Dean Court after the benefactor, the club continued to thrive and dominated the local football scene.  It was around this time that the club gained the nickname, 'The Cherries'. There are two main stories on to why the club would be called such a name. Firstly the Cherry Red striped shirts the side wore and secondly, Dean Court was built next to the Cooper-Dean estate which included many Cherry Orchards.  The club signed their first professional player in 1910, B.Penton, who signed from Southampton for a £10 fee. The club then moved in to the South Eastern League but this proved to be a big leap and the side finished bottom of the table.  With the outbreak of war in 1914, the progress of the club was halted and they returned to the Hampshire league in 1919. The club was ambitious and when the Third Division was formed in 1920, they moved up to the highly competitive Southern League as many clubs in that league went on to form the Third Division.  After three years in the Southern League, the club applied for membership of the Football League. The application was accepted and Boscombe would be playing in the Third Division (South) in the 1923-24 season.  Bournemouth and Boscombe  At the public house where the side used to change before matches, The Portman Hotel, a meeting decided that the club would change its name to 'Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic Football Club'. The first ever league match was at Swindon on 25 August 1923 at Swindon where Bournemouth lost 3-1. The first ever league game at Dean Court was also against Swindon and it was against these opponents that Bournemouth gained their first ever league point in a 0-0 draw.  Bournemouth struggled initially in the Football League, but firmly established themselves as a Third Division side and they still hold the record for the longest continuous membership of the Division.  As a league club, they had to wait until after the war for their first trophy. That came when Walsall were beaten at Stamford Bridge in the Third Division (South) Cup.  The Cup Run of 1956-57  The Cherries finally hit the headlines in the 1956-57 season after a fabulous run in the FA Cup despite being handed some of the hardest draws imaginable. After beating Burton Albion, Swindon and Accrington Stanley, they were drawn away to Wolves, then third in the top flight. An amazing 1-0 win saw Bournemouth earn a home tie against Spurs, then the second side in the First Division.  A stunning performance saw Bournemouth win through 3-1 and were then handed a home tie against Manchester United - the top side in the country! The dream ended there in controversial circumstances. United won 2-1 in front of a record 28,799 crowd at Dean Court through a goal that looked offside and a questionable penalty. Despite the defeat, Bournemouth grabbed the nations imaginations and were awarded 'The Giant Killers Cup'.  The 1970s & The Bond Years  Hopes were high for success but the cup run was not built on and in 1970, the side slipped to Division Four. Relegation proved to be a blessing in disguise and the club entered an exciting few years. Under John Bond, the side won promotion for the first time and he built up a side that were a joy to watch.  T

Tom Joad was the main character in which John Steinbeck novel?

Tom Joad Tom Joad    Bookmark this page    Manage My Reading List While many have long believed that Jim Casy embodied Steinbeck's main philosophical beliefs, Tom Joad, completely flawed and human, is the novel's main character. Tom is the character who shows the most development, experiencing what Peter Lisca calls an "education of the heart." This education, gained through experience, intuition, and the teachings of Jim Casy, best exemplifies the moral journey from self to community, from "I" to "we." Tom moves from caring only for himself to a familial loyalty to seeing the entire world as his family. Tom is kind and often merciful, yet quick to anger and fiercely independent. As a man of action, he embodies one of the novel's main philosophical strands, pragmatism, standing in contrast to the idealistic and talkative Jim Casy. While Casy is predominantly an observer and commentator on the human condition, Tom's acts of humanity are subconscious, his insights and compassion intuitive. Tom is concerned with the practical aspects of his life as they relate to the here and now, not the moral or ideological circumstances surrounding his actions. In this sense, Tom and Casy follow inverted paths in the development of their characters. After Casy has the opportunity to witness his beliefs acted out by the jail inmates, he moves from a position of observation and contemplation to one of action. Tom's social role moves in the opposite direction, from one of action to one of reflection. Not until Tom stops moving and reacting does he have the opportunity to absorb Casy's ideas. When he does so, however, Tom's development comes full-circle as he pledges to return to continue the actions begun by Casy.

Silkworm Shop - How to care for silkworms and how to raise silkworms General Information, Caring For & Breeding Silkworms Background Silkworms are the larva of a moth (Bombyx mori) native to Asia that spins a cocoon of fine, strong, lustrous fiber that is the source of commercial silk. The culture of silkworms is called sericulture. The various species raised today are distinguished by the quality of the silk they produce. Silkworms feed on the leaves of the mulberries (genus Morus) and sometimes on the Osage orange (Maclura pomifera). Bombyx Mori will not bite, making it an ideal worm for feeding most reptiles, amphibians and other animals. And they offer great nutritional value as a live feeder. Mulberry Leaves Newborns are small enough for most baby reptiles to eat and young silkworms can even be fed so they will grow to a desired size. Silkworms are soft-bodied, slow moving and can grow to 3 inches in length. They are also relatively fast growing, reaching about 3 inches in length and ready to cocoon in as little as 25 - 28 days. Silkworm and Cocoon Silkworms go through four stages of development, as do most insects: egg, larva, pupa and adult. Click here to see a life cycle chart . The adult (imago) stage is the silkworm moth. The larva is the caterpillar (not really a "worm" at all). The pupa is what the silkworm changes into after spinning its cocoon before emerging as a moth. Since the silkworm grows so much, it must shed its skin four times while it is growing. These stages-within-a-stage are called instars. Today, the silkworm moth lives only in captivity. Silkworms have been domesticated so that they can no longer survive independently in nature, particularly since they have lost the ability to fly. All wild populations are extinct. Also contributing to their extinction is the extraordinary fact that they only eat mulberry leaves. Silkworms have been used by researchers to study pheromones or sexual attractant substances. The pheromones are released by female moths and the males detect the chemicals with olfactory hairs on their antennae. This allows the male to find the female for mating. The male antennae are made of many small hairs to increase the chances of picking up small amounts of the pheromones over long distances. How to Grow Your Worms to the Perfect Size Silkworm Eggs and Moth The great thing about silkworms is that they only grow as much as you feed them, and they can go for up to a week without food. Keep in mind, however, that they will become dehydrated and begin to die off after a few days without food, and should be fed at least once daily in order to remain healthy. But, in general, if you have too many you can feed them a few times per week and they'll stay alive until you need them without growing too much larger. Wash hands thoroughly before handling the worms or the food or they may develop bacterial problems. Using a cheese grater, grate a small amount of food onto the them and repeat until the caterpillars reach the desired size. For best results, maintain temperatures between 78° and 88° F. Excessive condensation forming in the container after feeding is the leading cause of failure. If this condensation does form, take the lid off your container and allow the container and old food to completely dry out. In the future, make sure the previous food is dry before feeding again. Old damp food is a breeding ground for mold and other problems, dry food is not. A fan can help for quicker dry outs. Newly hatched silkworms are tiny As the silkworms grow, you may need to transfer your worms to a larger plastic container. The lid needs to have ventilation holes. If not, you need to vent the lid so the silkworms won't suffocate and to allow condensation to dissipate. You can also use a shoebox. The old food and waste matter can be removed, but does not have to be if it remains thoroughly dry. Under ideal conditions (78° to 88° F and allowed to feed nearly continuously) silkworms can go from egg to 1 inch in length in about 12 days, and 3 inches in under 30 days. The worms will begin to spin co


What is the name of Liverpool's main railway station?

Disused Stations: Liverpool Central (High Level) Station Date of visit: June 1968, 2005, 1.3.2009 & 22.7.2011 Notes: Liverpool Central station was the western terminus of the Cheshire Lines Committee’s (CLC) main line that linked the northern cities of Liverpool and Manchester. The CLC was a joint company made up of three partners: the Great Northern Railway (GNR), the Manchester, Sheffield & Lincolnshire Railway (MS&LR) and the Midland Railway (MR). The CLC’s Liverpool and Manchester line had opened as a through route between Cornbrook East Junction (Manchester) and Cressington Junction (Garston) on 2  September 1873. The line linked with the former Garston & Liverpool Railway at Cressington. The Garston & Liverpool had opened from Garston to a terminus at Liverpool Brunswick on 1 June 1864. It was a joint railway of the GNR and MS&LR that became part of the CLC on 5 July 1865. At the eastern end of the line at Manchester there was a connection with the Manchester South Junction and Altrincham Railway (MSJ&AR) that allowed trains to run to Manchester London Road. Liverpool Brunswick station was over a mile south of the centre of Liverpool and therefore inconvenient for passengers. Just over a month after it opened an Act was obtained by the partners on 29 July 1864 to build a line called ‘The Liverpool Central Station Railway’. The line was one mile and forty-three chains in length, and to reach central Liverpool it needed five tunnels and sections of very deep cuttings. There were two stations on the line, St James and Liverpool Central. Due to the heavy engineering required the new line and Liverpool Central did not open until 2 March 1874. Being a relative latecomer to Liverpool the CLC had to make do with a cramped site but in the heart of the city’s shopping district; nevertheless the CLC built an imposing station which served as their headquarters. Liverpool Central station fronted onto Ranelagh Street which ran in an east/west direction at that point. The main entrance was through two imposing gates at the western end of Ranelagh Street at its junction with Church Street and with Bold Street. The gates were separated by a large sandstone column. Over the westernmost gate there was a sign that read ‘Central Station’. East of the gates was the large high-roofed single-storey parcels office. East of the parcels office was another set of gates and, beyond them, a building similar to the parcels office that housed refreshment rooms. Beyond the gates and behind the parcels office was an open area for cabs and other road traffic. Photographic evidence suggests that a one-way system for road traffic was implemented from quite an early date. The easternmost gates were for traffic entering the station, and the westernmost for departing traffic. Facing onto the open area, but set back from the street, was the main station building. It was a three-storey sandstone building with decorative window features and columns. In the centre of the building, at roof level, was a large Baroque clock. The booking offices and other passenger facilities were on the ground floor. On the first and second floors there wereoffices occupied by departments of the CLC and its constituent companies. Part of the open area at the front of the main station building was sheltered by a large canopy. On the western side of the building an access road for vehicles passed directly into the station. The station also had an entrance on Bold Street with a two-storey sandstone structure in the same style as the other buildings. Behind the main building was a single arched trainshed of 164ft span which reached 65ft at its highest point. The station had three island platforms giving six platform faces. The longest and widest island platform was on the west side of the station, its west face numbered platform 1, and it was designated as the arrival platform. It had one line to serve it, and no run around facilities as the track was adjacent to the station’s western outer wall. The east face was platform 2 -

Who is the oldest of Prince Andrew's daughters?

Angry Prince Andrew has to pay for three former police bodyguards to protect daughters Bea and Eugenie - Mirror Online News Angry Prince Andrew has to pay for three former police bodyguards to protect daughters Bea and Eugenie The Duke of York will now fork out at least £250,000 a year to provide security for the royal princesses  Share Security concern: Prince Andrew and his daughters Eugenie and Beatrice (Photo: PA)  Share Get daily updates directly to your inbox + Subscribe Thank you for subscribing! Could not subscribe, try again laterInvalid Email Prince Andrew has been forced to rehire his daughters’ bodyguards out of his own pocket after losing a long fight to keep royal protection for them. The Duke of York will now fork out at least £250,000 a year to provide security for Princess Beatrice, 23, who has lost her Scotland Yard bodyguards. Sister Eugenie, 22, will lose her official guards when she finishes her degree at Newcastle University this year. Andrew’s annual bill could then double to £500,000. The three ex-Yard men are experienced protection officers who have looked after Andrew and both the princesses in the past. One was about to retire and the other two have taken early retirement from the Royalty Protection Squad to take up their new roles. Andrew is said to be deeply annoyed and frustrated at the decision to axe the princesses’ security – after a Scotland Yard review into the £50million-a-year cost to taxpayers of protecting the royals. Royal heirs: Princesses Beatrice and Eugenie are fifth and sixth in line to the throne He said it was absurd that his girls – fifth and sixth in line to the throne – have had protection all their lives, only to have it withdrawn in a year with heightened security around the Diamond Jubilee and Olympics. A police source said: “He is very unhappy and has lobbied about it, but there is nothing he can do. Savings have to be made and the powers that be feel resources need to be concentrated on the senior royals. Bea and Eugenie do not carry out many royal duties and are protected when they are at home, so you can see the logic in it.” The source added: “One of the officers worked for Andrew for a time as his bodyguard and another was with the girls. “It’s a good number for the bodyguards. They will get their police pensions and now have jobs for the foreseeable future. “But the cost to the prince will be enormous. As well as their salaries he will have to pay their hotel and travel expenses.” Two of the minders spent last week in Verbier, Switzerland, with Beatrice, as she enjoyed a skiing holiday with friends, including Sir Richard Branson’s daughter Holly. The source said: “Clearly Prince Andrew feels strongly enough about his daughter’s status and safety to hire them. It’s going to be quite a commitment if they have them permanently – up to £500,000 a year.” In recent months Andrew, spurred on by ex-wife Fergie who lives with him at Royal Lodge in Windsor, has tried to introduce his daughters into royal life. Last October Eugenie joined him on engagements in the North East and York, and next week Beatrice will join the Queen and Prince Philip at a Maundy Thursday service in York Minster. It is believed he wanted to take Bea and Eugenie on a forthcoming trip to India, when he will be representing the Queen in her Diamond Jubilee year, but courtiers vetoed the idea. Prince Charles thinks the monarchy needs to be slimmed down and does not see major roles for Bea and Eugenie, to Andrew’s annoyance. Policing the Jubilee celebrations is costing up to £100million and £3million has been spent beefing up security at Kensington Palace, where William and Kate and Prince Harry live. Scotland Yard sources say it cost £8million to police William and Kate’s wedding last April, and they have been trying to recoup some of that cost. Bea has done work for her mother’s charity and on secondments to firms since graduating from Goldsmiths College in London last year. Scotland Yard and Buckingham Palace said they do not comment on security matters for the royal family. L


Who was the last monarch of England only?

Frequently Asked Questions | Britroyals Frequently Asked Questions When did the last British King fight in         a battle? George II was the last         British King to lead his army in person, during the War of the         Austrian Succession, at the Battle of Dettingen in Bavaria, 27th         June, 1743. The last English King to die in battle was Richard         III at the Battle of Bosworth Field in Leicestershire on 22         August 1485 defeated by Henry Tudor who became Henry VII ending         the Wars of the Roses between the Houses of York and Lancaster         and starting the Tudor dynasty. The last British King to die in         battle was James IV of Scotland killed at the Battle of Flodden Field in Northumberland on 9 September         1513 when the Scots invaded England hoping to take advantage of         Henry VIII's absence in France, but were defeated by English forces         under Thomas Howard, Earl of Surrey. How far back can the British Royal Family         trace their roots? Is Queen Elizabeth II really directly descended         from Alfred the Great? She is the 32nd great granddaughter of King         Alfred who 1,140 years ago was the first effective King of         England. He ruled from 871 to 899. I thought that American Independence was         in 1776. Why is it quoted as 1783? The Continental Congress of the 13 American colonies declared         independence in 1776. However, the war continued and independence         from Britain was not achieved until the Treaty of Paris in 1783. Was George III really mad? For most of his reign King         George III was an astute king and politician with a strong         sense of duty. Later in his reign he suffered from recurrent and         eventually permanent mental illness. This baffled medical science         at the time, although it is now generally thought that he suffered         from the inherited blood disease porphyria. He suffered his first         attack in 1788 and by 1810 was unfit to rule. In 1811 his son         George, Prince of Wales, became Regent for 9 years until his father         died in 1820. Who would now be King or Queen if Edward         VIII had not abdicated? Edward VIII abdicated         in 1936 less than a year after becoming King to marry Wallis Simpson.         His younger brother Bertie became King         George VI and was the father of the present Queen         Elizabeth II . He died in 1952, and Edward who had no children         died in 1972. So even if Edward had not abdicated Elizabeth would         now be Queen. She would have come to the throne in 1972 instead         of 1952. Why did Edward VIII have to give up the throne         to marry a divorcee but Prince Charles is still in line to the         throne? Royals who are divorced or marry divorcees do not lose         their position in the line of succession. Edward VIII had a number         of affairs with married women including Wallis Simpson who was         already divorced and still married to her second husband. His         parents King George V and Queen Mary did not approve and refused         to meet her. When George V died Prime Minister Baldwin made it         clear that the Government, popular opinion in the country and the oversees Dominions (now the Commonwealth nations) did not         approve of his plans to marry Wallis. Social attitudes towards         divorce and a women looking for a third marriage were considered         scandalous at the time, and if Edward married against the advice         of his Ministers it would have caused the Government to resign         and a constitutional crisis. Edward chose to


Commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her husband, in which Royal park would you find the Albert Memorial?

The Albert Memorial - London  memorial  Add category The Albert Memorial is situated in Kensington Gardens, London, England, directly to the north of the Royal Albert Hall, close to the "Ring" which runs through Hyde Park. It was commissioned by Queen Victoria in memory of her beloved husband, Prince Albert of Saxe-Coburg-Gotha who died of typhoid in 1861, and designed by Sir George Gilbert Scott in the Gothic revival style. "My idea in designing the Memorial," Gilbert Scott wrote, "was to erect a kind of ciborium to protect a statue of the Prince; and its special characteristic was that the ciborium was designed in some degree on the principles of the ancient shrines. These shrines were models of imaginary buildings, such as had never in reality been erected; and my idea was to realise one of these imaginary structures with its precious materials, its inlaying, its enamels, etc. etc." However, the Memorial was not the first revivalist design for a canopied statue in a Gothic style - the Scott Monument in Edinburgh had been designed by George Meikle Kemp over twenty years earlier. Opened in 1872, with the statue of Albert ceremonially "seated" in 1875, the memorial consists of an ornate canopy or pavilion containing a statue of Prince Albert facing south. This is surrounded by the elaborate sculptural Frieze of Parnassus, which depicts 169 individual composers, architects, poets, painters, and sculptors. There are two allegorical sculpture programs: four groups depicting Victorian industrial arts and sciences (agriculture, commerce, engineering and manufacturing), and four more groups representing Europe, Asia, Africa and The Americas at the four corners, each continent-group including several ethnographic figures and a large animal. (A camel for Africa, a buffalo for the Americas, an elephant for Asia and a bull for Europe.) The sculptor Henry Hugh Armstead coordinated this massive effort among several artists of the Royal Academy, including Hamo Thornycroft.

What event takes place on the official birthday of the sovereign?

Sovereign's Official Birthday | Article about Sovereign's Official Birthday by The Free Dictionary Sovereign's Official Birthday | Article about Sovereign's Official Birthday by The Free Dictionary http://encyclopedia2.thefreedictionary.com/Sovereign%27s+Official+Birthday (redirected from Sovereign's Official Birthday) Queen's Birthday (Sovereign's Official Birthday, Trooping the Colour) Type of Holiday: National Date of Observation: Second Saturday in June Where Celebrated: United Kingdom, Australia, Bermuda, Canada, and other countries with close ties to the UK Symbols and Customs: Colours, Horse Guards Parade, Inspection, Royal Salute, Trooping the Colour Colors: Red, which is the color of Queen Elizabeth's flag ORIGINS The birthday of Queen Elizabeth II is a national holiday in the United Kingdom. National holidays can be defined as those commemorations that a nation's government has deemed important enough to warrant inclusion in the list of official public holidays. They tend to honor a person or event that has been critical in the development of the nation and its identity. Such people and events usually reflect values and traditions shared by a large portion of the citizenry. Although the British have celebrated their sovereign's birthday for centuries, it was Queen Victoria, who ruled the British Empire from 1837 until 1901, who came up with the idea of an "official" birthday celebration. Her real birthday was May 24, but it was decided that a public celebration would be held in June. Edward VII (reigned 1901-10), whose birthday was in early November, decided to let the June celebration stand, and George V (reigned 1910-36), who was born on June 3, decided to use his real birthday for the national holiday. George VI (reigned 1936-52) was born in mid-December and Elizabeth (reigned 1952-present) was born on April 21-both times of year when the weather in England is notoriously unreliable. So it made sense to continue to observe the Sovereign's Official Birthday in June, at a time when the weather is more likely to cooperate. Because Queen Elizabeth II has reigned over England for such a long time-her coronation was on June 2, 1952-this day is commonly referred to as the Queen's Birthday. It is usually observed on the second Saturday in June, although the queen's other obligations occasionally necessitate moving it up or back a week. The official birthday celebration is closely identified with the ceremony known as TROOPING THE COLOUR , an event that takes place on HORSE GUARDS PARADE in Whitehall, an area of London where many government offices are now located and where Whitehall Palace, the official residence of England's royal family in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, once stood. The queen is escorted from her home in Buckingham Palace by her Household Cavalry to the parade grounds, where she sits on horseback and carries out an INSPECTION of the Household Troops assembled there. The flag or COLOUR of a particular regiment (a different one is chosen each year) is then "trooped" or carried through the ranks where each and every soldier can see it. The troops then march or ride on horseback past the queen, after which she returns to Buckingham Palace. A ROYAL SALUTE of forty-one guns in London's Green Park brings the event to a close. SYMBOLS AND CUSTOMS Colours "Colours" is a British term for the regimental flags that were traditionally carried into battle and used to rally the soldiers and help them recognize the other members of the group they were fighting with. Although this is no longer done, the colour still symbolizes a regiment's spirit and is carried in parades as a memorial to its fallen soldiers. The Queen's Colour is solid crimson. If she is present during the ceremony, her colour is carried through the ranks of her Household Troops, as is the colour of the particular regiment (Coldstream, Grenadier, Scots, Irish, or Welsh Guards) in residence in London at the time. Horse Guards Parade The Horse Guards Parade, where the Trooping of the Colour takes place in June, is London's largest open spa

What temperature is the same in Celsius as it is in Fahrenheit?

FAQ: At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit the same? At what temperature are Celsius and Fahrenheit the same? The formulas for converting between degree Celsius and degree Fahrenheit are: ï¿½F = (ï¿½C * 9/5) + 32 ï¿½C = (ï¿½F - 32) * 5/9 To find the temperature when both are equal, we use an old algebra trick and just set ï¿½F = ï¿½C and solve one of the equations. ï¿½C = (ï¿½C * 9/5) + 32 ï¿½C - (ï¿½C * 9/5) = 32 -4/5 * ï¿½C = 32 ï¿½C = -32 * 5/4 ï¿½C = -40 ï¿½F = (ï¿½F * 9/5) + 32 ï¿½F - (ï¿½F * 9/5) = 32 -4/5 * ï¿½F = 32 ï¿½F = -32 * 5/4 ï¿½F = -40 So the temperature when both the Celsius and Fahrenheit scales are the same is -40 degrees.
