What is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants commonly known as the cranesbills?

Published on Jun 20, 2013 Geranium is a genus of 422 species of flowering annual, biennial, and perennial plants that are commonly known as the cranesbills. They are found throughout the temperate regions of the world and the mountains of the tropics, but mostly in the eastern part of the Mediterranean region. The long, palmately cleft leaves are broadly circular in form. The flowers have five petals and are coloured white, pink, purple or blue, often with distinctive veining. Geraniums will grow in any soil as long as it is not waterlogged. Propagation is by semiripe cuttings in summer, by seed, or by division in autumn or spring. The genus name is derived from the Greek γέρανος (géranos) or γερανός (geranós) ‘crane’. The English name ‘cranesbill’ derives from the appearance of the fruit capsule of some of the species. Species in the Geranium genus have a distinctive mechanism for seed dispersal. This consists of a beak-like column which springs open when ripe and casts the seeds some distance. The fruit capsule consists of five cells, each containing one seed, joined to a column produced from the centre of the old flower. The common name ‘cranesbill’ comes from the shape of the unsprung column, which in some species is long and looks like the bill of a crane. However, many species in this genus do not have a long beak-like column. Geraniums are eaten by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including brown-tail and mouse moth. The species Geranium viscosissimum (sticky geranium) is considered to be protocarnivorous.

In the first century AD, which rebellious British chieftain, of the Catuvellauni, was taken to Rome in chains?

Roman Empire Attack on Britain: Roman Empire Attacks Britain Roman Empire Attack on Britain Roman Empire Attacks Britain Cassivellanus 55 BC (Julius Caesar Raids Britain) Cassivellanus was a British war chieftain who caused considerable trouble for Julius Caesar’s Roman army while campaigning against Vercingetorix of Gaul. Not much is known of him (Cassivellanus) but his impact is marked by Roman historians who made him famous in ancient history for a short time. He won Julius Caesar’s attention – enough to cause a side show campaign during the vicious Roman conquest of Gaul. It is important to know that Romans often make an opponent immense. This is to make their victories sound more considerable. From the years of 58 BC to 51 BC, Julius Caesar led his Roman army in a huge campaign against Gaul (Today’s France). This was a long war against (Gaul Chieftain) Vercingetorix. To the north of Gaul was the Celtic island of Britain which was strewn with many small feudal nations like Gaul. The tribes of Gaul had become united under the one Vercingetorix leading the sub chieftains of the Gaul nations against Julius Caesar’s Roman army. For three years this hard fought war had been raging and the Roman Empire appeared to have a difficult task subjugating the Gaul resisters. In Britain, there was trade with Gaul and a strong affinity with the people. Many of the Druids of Gaul were schooled in the religion in Britain – the cultures of Britain and Gaul were the same and the Roman invasion must have caused the Britons to be extremely weary of this strange Empire. As an island perhaps other Britons had an ill deserved confidence of defence, but maybe men like the strange character called Cassivellanus could see the writing on the wall. He could have wanted to aid Vercingetorix of Gaul, or emulate him. This might have brought Cassivellanus into conflict with many chieftains of the feudal British nations – men that were happy with the continuing trade with Gaul and perhaps the Romans too. These Gaul/British tradesmen must have had some apathy towards Rome while people within Gaul fought the Latin invader. I say this because they seemed to still trade, even when Rome was policing some of the ports. It could also mean that some of the sea traders were not of Gaul but other far flung lands. Whatever the reasons, industry and commerce continued and with this; news and speculation were mixed with the shipping cargos. In the third year of the Gaul campaign (55 BC) concern was brought to Julius Caesar’s camp when a group of Britons led by a Chieftain came before him. The chieftain’s Latin name was Mandubracius and he was a feudal leader of a tribe called the Trinovantes. They came from the Essex area of today’s England in the south east and just north of the river Thames. Mandubracius had been usurped from his lands because of a Cassi warrior called Cassivellanus. Although Cassivellanus is believed to have been of the Cassi tribe; other members of the Cassi were with the Trinovante leader (Mandubracius) when he went before Julius Caesar with his news and plea for Roman help. In Britain there was a new man taking charge – one potentially unfriendly to Rome and supportive of Vercingetorix. (Maybe) It is possible that Cassivellanus might have been a rogue chieftain that sprang up by such means of virtue. Perhaps he won support by voicing the trials and tribulations of Gaul against Rome, and Britain would be next. He may have portrayed other chieftains as being lacklustre in their aid of the Gauls, who were brethren to the Britons. We only have Roman scholar’s writings about the man, but it is fair to assume he was politically motivated rather than an opportunistic conqueror. What was happening in Gaul, at the time, would surely have been big news from the sea traders and perhaps Gaul migrants fleeing the tribulation. It is also unlikely that the name Cassivellanus was his real name, but one that was attributed to him by the Romans and used by their writing historians of the age. Some believe that his name could have been a title that lends this


Which screen villain likes liver, fava beans and chianti?

"I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti": University of Waikato "I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice Chianti" 31 October 2002 When the dust from the collapse of the Berlin wall cleared, Hannibal Lecter emerged as the archetypal screen villain of the Post-Cold War era. Hollywood could no longer depend on the stock Russian/communist villain. A new representation of evil was needed. That search will be the subject of a doctoral study by Screen and Media Studies student Neil Bather, supported by a three year Bright Futures Scholarship from the Foundation for Research Science and Technology. Neil's research looks at the messages beneath the surface of popular film, at the ways evil is thought of and represented in society. Those films, Neil believes, particularly Hollywood blockbusters, provide mass audiences with reference points on the world. "Look at people's reaction to September 11. They saw the attacks and said 'It was like a movie'. What kind of movie did they have in mind? You're talking about movies like 'Armageddon' and 'Deep Impact', the Hollywood block buster." In the PC '80s and '90s a move to stock middle-Eastern villains seemed too blatant. One interesting move was the substitution in "Sum of All Fears" of neo-Nazis for the middle eastern terrorists of Tom Clancy's original novel. Character is only one way evil is represented in film, and Neil is also interested in the use of nature as a depiction of malevolence. Films like 'Twister' and 'The Perfect Storm' have extended the range of forces against which heroes battle. The real trend was perhaps the adoption of bogeymen closer to home - the local psychopath, the Hannibal Lecter next door. The past year, following the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington, has seen film makers rapidly adapt to the sensitivities and patriotism of the American audience. Scenes in films as apparently apolitical as "Spiderman" were remade to strengthen their patriotic appeal. Another interesting link to the political world is found in films like "Black Hawk Down", and Neil has found recent speeches by President Bush and US military leaders very interesting. "The American government reaction to September 11 was interchangeable with the script for 'Air Force One'." That fact alone underscores the importance of analyzing what is presented on screen, Neil says. "It is important to know what we are being shown. Film can frame our responses, but our own knowledge also shapes our reaction to film. For instance, 'Black Hawk Down" was based on truth, but reactions to it ranged from seeing it as American pro-war pornography to a Somalian view of it as anti-American." Neil's used simple economics to cut his potential database down to size. No movie will make his cut unless it has taken at least $100m at the US box office. That officially puts it in the "popular" movie class, with over 200 such blockbusters having been produced since 1989. It's still an ambitious project, and Neil's likely to get much more familiar with his own collection of 75 videos and DVDs over the three years of his scholarship. FRST will provide the funding for the study and conference leave; Neil's responsible for his own popcorn.


What was the composer Mahler's first name?

Gustav Mahler (Composer, Arranger) - Short Biography Gustav Mahler (Composer, Arranger) Born: July 7, 1860 - Kaliště (Kalischt), Bohemia Died: May 18, 1911 - Vienna, Austria Gustav Mahler was a Bohemian-born Austrian composer and conductor. He was best known during his own lifetime as one of the leading orchestral and operatic conductors of the day. He has since come to be acknowledged as among the most important late-Romantic composers, although his music was never completely accepted by the musical establishment of Vienna while he was still alive. Mahler composed primarily symphonies and songs; however, his approach to genre often blurred the lines between orchestral Lied, symphony, and symphonic poem. Life Gustav Mahler was born into a German-speaking, Ashkenazic Jewish family in Kaliště (in German, Kalischt), Bohemia, then in the Austrian Empire, today in the Czech Republic, the second of 14 children, of whom only six survived infancy. His parents soon moved to Jihlava (in German Iglau), where Mahler spent his childhood. Having noticed the boy's talent at an early age, his parents arranged piano lessons for him when he was six years old. In 1875, Mahler, then fifteen, was admitted to the Vienna Conservatoire where he studied piano under Julius Epstein, harmony with Robert Fuchs, and composition with Franz Krenn. Three years later Mahler attended Vienna University, where Anton Bruckner was lecturing. There he studied history and philosophy as well as music. While at the university, he worked as a music teacher and made his first major attempt at composition with the cantata Das klagende Lied. The work was entered in a competition where the jury was headed by Johannes Brahms , but failed to win a prize. In 1880, Mahler began his career as a conductor with a job at a summer theatre at Bad Hall; in the years that followed, he took posts at successively larger opera houses: in Ljubljana in 1881, Olomouc in 1882, Vienna in 1883, Kassel also in 1883, Prague in 1885, Leipzig in 1886 and Budapest in 1888. In 1887, he took over conducting Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen from an ill Arthur Nikisch, firmly establishing his reputation among critics and public alike. The year after, he made a complete performing edition of Carl Maria von Weber's unfinished opera Die drei Pintos, the success of which brought financial rewards and contributed to his gradually growing fame. J. Brahms was greatly impressed by his conducting of Don Giovanni. His first long-term appointment was at the Hamburg Opera in 1891, where he stayed until 1897; it was while Mahler was at Hamburg that his youngest brother Otto, also a composer, committed suicide in 1895 at the age of 21. From 1893 to 1896, Mahler took summer vacations at Steinbach am Attersee in Upper Austria, where he revised his Symphony No. 1 (first heard in 1889), composed his Symphony No. 2, sketched his Symphony No. 3, and wrote most of the song collection Lieder aus "Des Knaben Wunderhorn" (Songs from 'The Youth's Magic Horn'), based on a famous set of heavily redacted folk-poems. In 1897, Gustav Mahler, then thirty-seven, was offered the directorship of the Vienna Opera, the most prestigious musical position in the Austrian Empire. This was an 'Imperial' post, and under Austro-Hungarian law, no such posts could be occupied by Jews. Mahler, who was never a devout or practising Jew, had, in preparation, converted to Roman Catholicism. As a child, he had been a chorister in a Catholic Church where he had also learned piano from the choir master. As the years passed Mahler found much to attract him in Catholicism, and Catholic influences are observable in his music, for example his use of the hymn "Veni Creator Spiritus" in his Eighth Symphony. Still, there is ample evidence of a Jewish spirit manifest in his works, as in the Klezmer-like theme and textures of the third movement of the first symphony. In 1899 and 1910 he conducted his revised versions of Robert Schumann 's Symphonies Nos. 2 and 4. In ten years at the Vienna Opera, Gustav Mahler transformed the institution's repertoire and rai


"How many ""tribes of Israel"" were there that descended from Jacob/Israel?"

The Twelve Tribes of Israel | Jewish Virtual Library The Twelve Tribes of Israel Tweet The Tribes of Israel are the traditional divisions of the ancient Jewish people. Biblical tradition holds that the twleve tribes of Israel are descended from the sons and grandsons of the Jewish forefather Jacob and are called "Israel" from Jacob's name given to him by God. The twelve tribes are as follows: Reuben , Simeon , Judah , Issachar , Zebulun , Benjamin , Dan , Naphtali , Gad , Asher , Ephraim and Manasseh . The story of the twelve tribes begins when Jacob and his family went down to Egypt as "70 souls" In Egypt "the Israelites were fertile and prolific; they multiplied and increased very greatly," and there they became the "Israelite people." Following the death of Joseph - one of Jacob's sons who had become viceroy of Egypt - Pharoah oppressed the Israelites by placing upon them burdensome labor. Map of the Twelve Tribes Click on any tribe for more information God "remembered His covenant with Abraham , with Isaac , and with Jacob ," made Himself known to Moses and rescued the Israelites from Egypt. By this time the nation numbered "600,000 men on foot" which is usually understood to be military-aged men excluding women and children. At Mount Sinai, the Israelite nation is given its laws and regulations - the Torah - and affirms their covenant with God. After wandering for 40 years in the desert under the leadership of Moses , the twelve tribes enter the land of Canaan with Joshua in command. After conquering the land, each tribe was allotted an individual territory to settle. During this period of settlement, and the subsequent period of the Judges , there was no predetermined pattern of leadership among the tribes though various crises forced the tribes into cooperative action against enemies. Shiloh served as a sacral center for all the tribes, housing the Ark of the Covenant under the priestly family of Eli. Under the impact of military pressures, the Israelites felt compelled to turn to Samuel with the request that he establish a monarchy, and Saul was crowned to rule over all the tribes of Israel. Upon his death, Saul's son was accepted by all the tribes as the new king, save Judah and Simeon who preferred David . David's struggle with the house of Saul ended in victory for him and all the elders turned to David for royal leadership. He ruled from Hebron and later Jerusalem over all the tribes of Israel and following his death was succeeded by his son, Solomon . After the death of Solomon , the tribes once again split along territorial and political lines, with Judah and Benjamin in the south loyal to the Davidic house and the rest of the tribes in the north ruled by a succession of dynasties. Modern scholarship does not generally accept the biblical notion that the twelve tribes are simply divisions of a larger unit which developed naturally from patriarchal roots. This simplistic scheme, it is felt, actually stems from later genealogical speculations which attempted to explain the history of the tribes in terms of familial relationships. The alliance of the twelve tribes is believed to have grown from the organization of independent tribes, or groups of tribes, forced together for historical reasons. Scholars differ as to when this union of twelve took place and when the tribes of Israel became one nation. One school of thought holds that the confederation took place inside the country toward the end of the period of the Judges and the beginnings of the Monarchy. All of the traditions which see the twelve tribes as one nation as early as the enslavement in Egypt or the wanderings in the desert are regarded as having no basis in fact. This school recognizes in the names of some of the tribes the names of ancient sites in Canaan, such as the mountains of Naphtali , Ephraim , and Judah , the desert of Judah , and Gilead . With the passage of time, those who dwelt in these areas assumed the names of the localities. Others feel that the tribes descended from the matriarch Leah - namely Reuben , Simeon , Levi , Judah ,


Who is the player who has come closest to meeting the modern definition of golf's Grand Slam by holding all four modern major championships simultaneously?

grand slam golf : definition of grand slam golf and synonyms of grand slam golf (English) 5 Notes and references   The Men's Grand Slam   Bobby Jones , who won the pre-masters era career grand slam once, and is the only golfer all-time to have won four majors in the same calendar year.   Jack Nicklaus , who has won the career grand slam three-times   Tiger Woods , who has won the career grand slam three-times   Ben Hogan , who has won the career grand slam once   Gary Player , who has won the career grand slam once   Gene Sarazen , who has won the career grand slam once The Grand Slam in men's golf is an unofficial concept, having changed over time. In the modern era, The Grand Slam is generally considered to be winning all four of golf's major championships in the same calendar year. Before The Masters was founded, the national amateur championships of the U.S. and the UK were considered majors along with the two national opens and only Bobby Jones has ever completed a grand slam with these. No man has ever achieved a modern grand slam, Tiger Woods being the closest in winning all four consecutively, but over two calendar years. The term also refers to a tour tournament, the PGA Grand Slam of Golf , an annual off season tournament contested by the winners of the four major championships. In annual playing order, the modern major championships are: April - Masters Tournament (weekend ending 2nd Sunday in April) - hosted as an invitational by and played at Augusta National Golf Club June - U.S. Open (weekend ending with the 3rd Sunday in June) - hosted by the USGA and played at various locations in the USA July - The Open Championship (The Open; usually called the "British Open" in the U.S.) (weekend containing the 3rd Friday in July) - hosted by The R&A and always played on a links course at various locations in the UK August - PGA Championship (USPGA) (4th weekend after The Open) - hosted by the Professional Golfers' Association of America and played at various locations in the USA. The term "Grand Slam" was first applied to Bobby Jones ' achievement of winning the four major golf events of 1930 : The Open Championship , the U.S. Open , the U.S. Amateur and The Amateur Championship . When Jones won all four, the sports world searched for ways to capture the magnitude of his accomplishment. Up to that time, there was no term to describe such a feat because no one had thought it possible. The Atlanta Journal's O.B. Keeler dubbed it the "Grand Slam," borrowing a bridge term. George Trevor of the New York Sun wrote that Jones had "stormed the impregnable quadrilateral of golf." Keeler would later write the words that would forever be linked to one of the greatest individual accomplishments in the history of sports: This victory, the fourth major title in the same season and in the space of four months, had now and for all time entrenched Bobby Jones safely within the 'Impregnable Quadrilateral of Golf', that granite fortress that he alone could take by escalade, and that others may attack in vain, forever. Jones remains the only man to have achieved the grand slam, since before the creation of The Masters and the advent of the professional era, the amateur championships were considered major championships. The modern definition could not be applied until at least 1934 , when the Masters was founded, and still carried little weight in 1953 when Ben Hogan , after winning the Masters, the U.S. Open and The Open Championship, could not compete in the PGA Championship; the nearly concurrent PGA Championship and The Open Championship and the state of transatlantic travel made completing the Grand Slam impossible. Hogan is the only player to have won The Masters, the U.S. Open and The Open Championship in the same calendar year. According to Arnold Palmer 's autobiography, "A Golfer's Life," in 1960 he (already having won the Masters and the U.S. Open that year) and his friend Bob Drum (of the Pittsburgh Press ) on the trans-Atlantic flight to The Open Championship at St Andrews came up with the idea that adding the The Open Champ

Which book of the Christian Bible's new testament comprises a letter from St Paul to members of a church that he had founded at Macedonia?

4. The Pauline Epistles | Bible.org From the series: Concise New Testament Survey PREVIOUS PAGE | NEXT PAGE 4. The Pauline Epistles Having finished the survey of the historical books (the Gospels and Acts), we now come to the twenty-one epistles of the New Testament, twenty-two if one includes Revelation as an epistle (which in reality it is [see Rev. 1:4]). Because of its unique apocalyptic nature, however, in this survey we are distinguishing it as The Prophetic Book of the New Testament. The Epistles are generally divided into the Pauline Epistles and the Non-Pauline (General) Epistles. Paul’s epistles fall into two categories: nine epistles written to churches (Romans to 2 Thessalonians) and four pastoral and personal epistles (1 and 2 Timothy, Titus and Philemon). This is then followed by eight Hebrew Christian epistles (Hebrews to Jude). Naturally, many questions would arise as to the meaning and application of the gospel for Christians. Thus, the Epistles answer these questions, give the interpretation of the person and work of Christ, and apply the truth of the gospel to believers. Background of Paul Paul was known for many years as Saul of Tarsus. He was born of Jewish parentage in the city of Tarsus of Cilicia. He was not only a Jew, but by his own testimony, he was a Pharisee and a son of a Pharisee (Acts 23:6), was a Hebrew of Hebrews (spoke Hebrew or Aramaic), was of the tribe of Benjamin (Phil. 3:4-5), and had evidently been taught the trade of tent-making as a youth (Acts 18:3). Evidently at a young age, he went to Jerusalem, and according to his testimony, studied under the well know Gamaliel I, a noted teacher in the School of Hillel (Acts 22:3). In his studies, he had advanced in the religion of the Jews beyond many of his fellows as one extremely zealous for his ancestral traditions (Gal. 1:14). His zeal as a religious Jew was carried over into the way he zealously sought to persecute the church. As a young Pharisee, he was present when Stephen was stoned and murdered (Acts 7:58-83). In his campaign against Christians, both men and women, he traveled with letters of arrest from the high priest and went to other cities to waste the church of Jesus Christ (Acts 26:10-11; Gal. 1:13). It was on one of these missions that Saul was converted while on the road to Damascus. Paul was also a Greek by culture having evidently received a Greek education (cf. Acts 17:28; Titus 1:12). He shows acquaintance with Greek culture and their thinking. As such a student, he was familiar with many of the sayings of classical and contemporary writers. In addition, Paul was a Roman citizen, being Roman born (Acts 22:28). Because of this, he could appeal to Caesar as a citizen of Rome while imprisoned in Philippi (Acts 16:37-39). Consequently, Paul was uniquely qualified to be the one chosen to carry the message of the gospel to the Gentiles. Paul could easily say, “I am become all things to all men, that I may by all means save some” (1 Cor. 9:22). Conversion of Paul Having energetically and consistently persecuted the church of Jesus Christ, while on the road to Damascus, Paul had an encounter with the glorified resurrected Christ, which had revolutionary effects on his life. He had denied the Christian claim that Jesus was the Messiah, the Son of God. Further, he did not believe that He had risen from the dead as Stephen had proclaimed when he cried, “Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God” (Acts 7:56). “Liar!” they cried and stoned him. Saul stood by “consenting unto his death.” But when the Lord Jesus spoke to Saul on the day of the great experience outside Damascus, he knew that Stephen had been right and he had been wrong. Jesus was alive after all! And further, he must be the Son of God. Thus, in the synagogues of Damascus, he proclaimed Christ as Savior. … While the experience was sudden and dramatic, the effects were enduring. The impact must have necessitated great psychological and intellectual readjustments. This may well account for the period spent in Arabia and Dam


What is a 1938 crime film starring Edward G. Robinson, Claire Trevor and Humphrey Bogart, directed by Anatole Litvak and written by John Wexley and John Huston, based on a play by Barr Lyndon?

Ronald Reagan Appears in "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" | World History Project Ronald Reagan Appears in "The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse" The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse is a 1938 Warner Bros. crime film starring Edward G. Robinson, Claire Trevor and Humphrey Bogart. It was directed by Anatole Litvak and written by John Wexley and John Huston based on the first play written by short-story writer Barré Lyndon, which ran for three months on Broadway with Cedric Hardwicke after playing in London. Plot Dr. Clitterhouse (Edward G. Robinson) is a wealthy society doctor in New York City who decides to research the medical aspects of criminal behavior directly by becoming one. He begins a series of daring jewel robberies, measuring his own blood pressure, temperature and pulse before, during and afterwards, but yearns for a larger sample for his study. From one of his patients, Police Inspector Lewis Lane (Donald Crisp), he learns the name of the biggest fence in the city, Joe Keller. He goes to meet Keller to sell what he has stolen, only to find out that "Joe" is actually "Jo" (Claire Trevor). The doctor impresses Jo and a gang of thieves headed by 'Rocks' Valentine (Humphrey Bogart) with his exploits, so Jo invites him to join them, and he accepts. Dr. Clitterhouse pretends to take a six week vacation in Europe. As "The Professor", he proceeds to wrest leadership of the gang (and the admiration of Jo) away from Rocks, making him extremely resentful. When they rob a fur warehouse, Rocks locks his rival in a cold storage room, but Clitterhouse is freed by a gang member Jo had assigned to keep watch on him. Afterwards, Clitterhouse announces he is quitting; he has enough data from studying the gang during their robberies, and his "vacation" time is up. He returns the gang to Rocks' control. However, Rocks learns Dr. Clitterhouse's real identity and shows up at his Park Avenue office. Rocks tries to blackmail the doctor into continuing to plan the thefts. Clitterhouse learns that Rocks will not let him publish his incriminating research, and also realizes that he has not studied the ultimate crime – murder – so he poisons Rocks' drink. Jo helps dispose of the body in the river, but it is recovered and the poison is detected by the police. The doctor is ultimately caught by his friend Inspector Lane and placed on trial. He insists that he did everything for purely scientific reasons and claims that his book is a "sane book" and that it is "impossible for an insane man to write a sane book". His determination to show that he is sane, and therefore willing to face the death penalty, convinces the jury to find him not guilty by reason of insanity. Production Barré Lyndon's play, The Amazing Dr. Clitterhouse, had been a success in London, and was produced on Broadway in association with Warner Bros.[1], but the studio had difficulty obtaining the movie rights even so, since Lyndon retained control of them. Carl Laemmle Jr., Paramount and MGM all bid for the rights, and Laemmle bought them for over $50,000. He then turned them around and sold them to Warners in return for the loan of Paul Muni for "The Hunchback of Notre Dame", a film that never got made. Producer Robert Lord originally wanted Ronald Colman to play the part of "Dr. Clitterhouse." The film was in production from late February to early April 1938 at Warner Bros. studios in Burbank. Clitterhouse was only Anatole Litvak's second film for Warners. Cast


What is the chemical symbol for hydrogen?

What is the chemical symbol for hydrogen peroxide? - Quora Quora Written Sep 3, 2015 Hydrogen Peroxide: In its pure form it is a colourless liquid, slightly more viscous than water; however, for safety reasons it is normally used as an aqueous solution. It contains oxygen in -1 oxidation state. Details: Written Sep 16, 2015 The chemical formula for Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2 i.e. one Hydrogen atom per every Oxygen atom. Consider an oxygen molecule freely existing in the environment, the chemical formula for it would be, O2. if we take this oxygen in -1 oxidation state, each oxygen atom can make one additional bond with one hydrogen atom each. Thus, we get aqueous solution of H2O2, Hydrogen Peroxide. What is this? An amateur hour?

What is an essential ingredient of a game of water polo?

Essential Water Polo Gear | iSport.com Essential Water Polo Gear Essential Water Polo Gear A water polo player doesn’t require much gear, especially when compared to athletes who play sports like hockey or lacrosse. A few essentials — suit, cap, ball — are all that’s really needed to get a game going. Well, that and the pool of course. This guide explains the essential pieces of gear (and a few extras) that every water polo player should own. Suits If you’re going to spend time playing water polo, you’ll need a swim suit. That’s all there is to it. Sports bras, swim trunks, board shorts, unitards… cross them all off the list of suitable substitutes. Your water polo suit needs to be comfortably snug. It should be tight-fitting, but still allow your body to twist, turn, and stretch throughout a game. While your practice suit and your game suit may differ slightly, there will still be similarities between the two. Some teams and clubs will have team suits for you to purchase as well. Hot Tip: Throw in an Extra Suit Suits occasionally get ripped during games and are also easy to forget if they've been hung to dry somewhere. Having a spare in your bag may someday come in handy for you (or a teammate). Women’s Water Polo Suits Women’s water polo suits cover the entire torso. They are one-pieces designed to keep drag to a minimum and to give defenders the fewest possible places to grab. For this reason, most water polo suits zip up the back or front, unlike lap swimming suits that feature Y straps and open backs. Polo suits can also have rubber or latex sections to further discourage grabbing. Lap swimming suits are often worn for practice or in young/beginner water polo games, but it is a good idea to invest in at least one water polo suit to prevent puling, stretching, or even ripping during an aggressive game. [picture of women’s water polo suit] Men’s Water Polo Suits Men wear swimming briefs, often called “Speedos” after the popular brand. These are tight-fitting and stretchy bottoms, designed to allow uninhibited movement in the water. Unlike women’s suits, they cover only the lower torso and do not extend down the legs beyond the hips and buttocks. Longer lap swimming suits like jammers can make treading water difficult and the extra material (and therefore drag) of board shorts and swim trunks are not ideal for water polo. For practice, some prefer slightly baggier speedos, swim briefs, or square-leg suits. However, a snug pair is important if you want them to stay on during a game. [picture of men’s suit] Swim Caps Any water polo player with hair past their shoulders will want to invest in a couple of swim caps. Whether they are silicon or latex doesn’t make a difference here, but it is important to keep the hair off your face and out of the opposing team’s hands. Be sure to have a light-colored cap as well as a dark one for games and tournaments since official rules call for teams to wear matching caps. Hot Tip: Practice Outdoors in a Light Cap Wear a light-colored cap during outdoor practice to deflect sunlight and prevent the dreaded “cap tan” — the stripe of white skin often seen on water polo players’ and swimmers’ foreheads. Darker caps will attract sunlight and intensify this tan. Water Polo Caps Water polo caps, occasionally called “bonnets,” are cloth caps with plastic ear guards and straps that tie or fasten under the chin. These are worn in the water to: Help distinguish one team from another. One team wears a light color and the other wears a dark color. Display a player’s number. Protect the ears, since an elbow or a water polo ball with enough velocity can burst an eardrum. Chances are you won’t have to worry about supplying your own water polo cap since most teams or clubs have sets for practice and games. [picture of caps] Water Polo Balls Water polo balls come in three sizes: Size 5 (68-71 centimeters in circumference) for men, size 4 (65-67 centimeters in circumference) for women, and a junior size for younger Splashball players. The balls weigh between 400 and 450 grams. Traditionally yellow,


The Lateran Palace - Vatican Articles The Lateran Palace 26/06/2013 by Vatican.com The Lateran Palace In ancient Roman times the Lateran Palace was a palace belonging to Roman noblemen but later it became the major papal residence. It was originally kwon as the Apostolic Palace of the Lateran. The Lateran Palace is one of the major Lateran buildings in Rome. It was the primary Apostolic residence prior to the Avignon Exile. Nowadays the Lateran Palace displays the history of the Papal States. The Lateran Palace is now occupied by the Museo Storico Vaticano. In addition, the Lateran Palace houses some residential apartments of the Cardinal Vicar and the offices of the Vicariate of Rome. During the ancient days, the Lateran Palace also housed some of the collections and relics of the Lateran Museum, which were later distributed in different museums of Vatican. The Lateran Palace is next to the Basilica di San Giovanni in Laterano, which is the cathedral church of Rome. The Lateran Palace obtained its name from the Laterani family whose family members served as administrators for numerous Roman emperors and donated land, property and funded several projects in Rome. Despite the change of its use, the Lateran Palace has remained an incredibly well kept palace and it is now an important part of the Roman Catholic Church's history. The palace is surrounded by several gardens and structures that make it a tourist attraction. Different popes who have ruled Rome have also used the Lateran Palace to serve various purposes; mostly for holding important meetings. It is at the Lateran Palace that the Lateran Treaty was signed on 11th February 1929. The Lateran Palace is open to the public and tourists are allowed to visit the palace especially in the morning hours. In case you are new to the place, you will be guided through the whole palace and shown important sites and their meanings. The Lateran Palace itself is an incredible place to visit. The inside of the palace is full of historical relics and artifacts created by the great artists of Rome. It is here that the popes used to reside and therefore it is given the attention and respect it deserves. There is tight security in the place and no incidences of crimes despite the high crime rate in Rome. It is also important to note that the Lateran Palace was destroyed by fires in 1307 and 1361.Due to the damage the ancient building of the Lateran Palace was replaced with the same structure, which is the current Lateran Palace, during the papacy of Pope Sixtus V. The restructuring was designed and supervised by architect Fontana.  The Lateran Palace houses the famous Scala Sancta and as it is among the holiest places in Rome, you will meet many people visiting the Lateran Palace especially in the morning hours.


It has been a boy's name, is usually a girl's name, and is well known as the name of Peter Pan's friend in a J.M. Barrie play. What is it?

Peter Pan | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia ― Walt Disney Peter Pan is incredibly adventurous and daring. His favorite activities include battling pirates, engaging in friendly wars with the Indians, and listening to Wendy's stories of his adventures. Being a young boy, Peter can be rather impractical and conceited at times, but when it comes to rescuing his friends, he is far more mature than any adult can be. He is respected and loved by nearly every inhabitant of Never Land with the exception of Captain Hook (and his crew) who despises Peter for cutting off his hand and feeding it to the crocodile during their first battle. Ever since, Peter and Hook have been at each other's throats constantly, battling in the hope that one would finally "walk the plank." One of the many things Peter discards is adulthood. This drove him to create a team of kids who also desire to stay young who he deems the Lost Boys. One can say Peter stands as a father figure for the group as well. Peter's most trusted companion is Tinker Bell. Even though they have a close best friend relationship, it is obvious Tink has strong feelings for Peter. Whether or not he is actually aware is currently unknown, although, in the first film, when Tink was close to death, Peter stated: "Don't you understand, Tink, you mean more to me than anything in the world!" Despite being heroic and charming, Pan can be quite cocky and being an immortal child somewhat he can also be quite immature. And as such, he enjoys goofing off, listening to stories, playing "pretend", and parties with his friends. Peter's youthful nature symbolizes his place in childhood wonder. Even so, Peter can also be very adult. By the end of the film, despite proclaiming his hatred for adulthood with great intensity, Peter eventually comes to put his more childlike nature aside, for the sake of protecting Tinker Bell, Wendy, her brothers, and the Lost Boys. With this, he brings himself to serve as a more adult figure, by risking his life for the sake of his loved ones, and selflessly escorting Wendy and her brothers home to London, despite his desire to have them stay. This directly ties into his dynamic with Captain Hook who, despite Peter developing into a child with an adult mindset, is very much an adult with a more childish mindset, being loud, overly commanding, dependent on others, and prone to tantrums. Design Many of Walt Disney's envisioned characters went through an evolution of designs, and Peter Pan is no exception. Most model sheets depicted Peter as a small little boy but soon later changed into more of a fairy tale-like creature. Finally, Peter was given the look of a nearly teenaged boy. His outfit is green resembling an elf's attire with a red feather on his Robin Hood -like hat. His shoes are dirty blonde and he holds a belt around his waist which holds his dagger. Powers and Abilities Flight: Peter Pan's most unique trait is his ability to fly without any physical methods, he uses this to gain the advantage on those who cannot. Semi-Immortality: Peter Pan cannot die of old age, but it is never stated whether or not he can survive death. Eternal Youth: Peter Pan cannot age due to living in Neverland which his claims suggests that it prevents people from aging. Knife-Fighting: Peter Pan is very skilled with his trusty knife, able to wield it with such skill he can fight a master swordsman, like his nemesis Captain Hook , and hold his own. However, Peter often fights while flying, which gives him an edge; when he fights Hook without flying, he is almost killed. Impersonations: Peter Pan has an uncanny talent for impersonating others' voices, as he does when he imitates Hook and tries to trick Mr. Smee into taking Tiger Lily back to her people. In Kingdom Hearts , he imitates Smee to lure out Hook, and in both cases, Smee and Hook are fooled. Appearances Peter Pan Peter in the original Peter Pan. Peter first appears returning to Wendy 's home to retrieve his shadow (bringing Tinker Bell in tow), but accidentally wakes up Wendy, John and Michael in the process while he

"""Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives"", which won the Palme D'Or at the Cannes Film Festival in 2010, was made where?"

Cannes film festival: Apichatpong Weerasethakul wins Palme d'Or | Film | The Guardian Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives Cannes film festival: Apichatpong Weerasethakul wins Palme d'Or Apichatpong Weerasethakul's Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives is first Asian Palme d'Or win since 1997 Sunday 23 May 2010 14.28 EDT First published on Sunday 23 May 2010 14.28 EDT Close This article is 6 years old Asian cinema tonight emerged as the surprise winner of this year's Cannes film festival when a lyrically beautiful and often surreal Thai movie took the Palme d'Or. Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives , directed by Apichatpong Weerasethakul, already had the best title of the 19 films in competition. Tonight jury chairman Tim Burton named it best film, seeing off films from an impressive roster of film makers that included Mike Leigh, Ken Loach and Abbas Kiarostami. It is the first Asian Palme d'Or winner since Kiarostami shared it with Japanese film maker Shohei Imamura in 1997. And it came after the veteran South Korean director Hong Sangsoo on Saturday won the prestigious Un Certain Regard sidebar prize for Hahaha. The Asian clean sweep took most Cannes watchers by surprise. Just as surprising was that there were no prizes at all for Loach and Leigh. Burton said deciding the Palme d'Or had felt like an easy choice. The jury saw the film early and it stayed in their heads throughout the festival, he said. "The world is getting smaller and more westernised, more Hollywood-ised and this is a film where I felt I was watching from another country. It was using fantasy elements but in a way I'd never seen before so I just felt it was like a beautiful, strange dream." Accepting the award, Weerasethakul – the first Thai winner of the Palme d'Or – said: "I would like to thank all the spirits and all the ghosts in Thailand who made it possible for me to be here." The grand prix prize – effectively the runner-up – went to Xavier Beauvois' Of Men and Gods, his surprisingly gripping dramatisation of a true story: the 1996 deaths of French Cistercian monks kidnapped by Islamic fundamentalists. There was little surprise that Juliette Binoche was named best actress for her role as the enigmatically named She in Abbas Kiarostami's Certified Copy. By general consent it was a stunning performance, although she told journalists this week that one of the trickiest parts of the role had been filming on Tuscan cobbles wearing heels. The best actor prize was shared by Spaniard Javier Bardem for his memorable portrayal of an underworld businessman dying of cancer in Alejandro González Iñárritu Biutiful; and Italian Elio Germano for Daniele Luchetti's Our Life. Other awards given out at the ceremony included the jury prize to Chad film maker Mahamat-Saleh Haroun and his third film, A Screaming Man. US actor Kirsten Dunst presented the best director prize to Mathieu Amalric for On Tour. The Frenchman is better known as an actor – the Bond villain in Quantum of Solace, for example, or The Diving Bell and the Butterfly – and On Tour, about Parisien burlesque performers, is his fourth film. South Korea's Lee Chang-dong won best screenplay for Poetry. There was only one US movie in this year's competition – Doug Liman's Iraq drama Fair Game – but there was plenty of Hollywood glamour out of competition. Russell Crowe was in town for Robin Hood, Woody Allen for You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger and Michael Douglas for Wall Street – Money Never Sleeps. And there was, bien sûr, as much red carpet glitz as usual. Cannes is still the only place on earth that a smiling Cheryl Cole – wearing a thigh tattoo revealing Versace frock — would ever be seen walking the red carpet for a controversial drama addressing French atrocities against Algerians. Tonight's awards ceremony, hosted by Kristin Scott Thomas, came after a Cannes festival that has been judged by most observers as lacking wow factor. There has been hardly any shock and few surprises. Perhaps the downbeat feel is appropriate given the story which was never very far away from the


In 1822 Brazil declared its independence from what European power?

Brazilian Independence EDUCATION Brazilian Independence Since Brazil had been ‘discovered’ by the Portuguese in the 16th century, the governing of this land had, largely, been up to this European nation. Of course, other nations (such as France) tried to gain military and political power but had been largely unsuccessful. Since 1808, King Dom João VI had been residing in Brazil, having made it one of the Kingdoms of the United Kingdom of Portugal, Brazil and Algarves. In 1815, he had made his son, Dom Pedro, the Regent Prince, giving him the authority to govern Brazil in the king’s place in the event of his leaving or his death. In 1820, Portugal experienced the Constitutional Revolution, which was initiated by the liberal constitutionalists. This revolution led to the Constituent Assembly’s meeting and deciding to create the first constitution of the Kingdom and to demand the return of King Dom João VI from Brazil. The assembly is also known as the Cortes. On 26 April 1821, the king left Brazil in the hands of his son, the newly elected Prince Regent, Dom Pedro, and returned to Portugal. Portrait of John VI, King of Portugal hanging in São Paulo Museum of Art. The Portuguese military officers that were based in Brazil at this time sided with the constitutionalist movement in their homeland. General Jorge Avilez, who led the Portuguese military, forced Dom Pedro to dismiss and banish the ministers of Kingdom and Finance. These men had both been loyal to Dom Pedro and the prince was left feeling helpless and humiliated as he was manipulated by Avilez. From that moment, Pedro swore never to give in to military manipulation again. In September 1821, the provincial governments of Brazil were put in political subordination to Portugal, which left Pedro nothing more than the Governor of Rio de Janeiro, which was just a province. Pedro was also ordered to go back to Europe and any courts that his father had created in 1808 were done away with. The Brazilian inhabitants had, by this stage, become completely outraged by the Cortes’ actions. This resulted in the uprising of the Bonificans (led by Bonifácio de Andrade) and the Liberals (supported by the Freemasons and led by Joaquim Gonçalves Ledo). These two groups were united only by the fact that they wanted to keep Brazil united with Portugal as a sovereign monarchy As the open mockery and humiliation of Dom Pedro continued at the hands of the Cortes, the prince drew further and further away from his homeland, gradually shifting his loyalties to Brazil. Then, with the encouragement of his wife, Princess Leopoldina, Pedro made this announcement in the newspapers of 9 January 1822: “As it is for the good of all and for the nation’s general happiness, I am ready: Tell the people that I will stay”. Pedro dismissed Jorge Avilez, who had instigated armed riots in response to Pedro’s announcement, ordering him and his soldiers back to Portugal. Jose Bonifácio was made the Minister of Kingdom and Foreign Affairs in January 1822, and he and Pedro soon became very close, both personally and politically. In August 1822, Pedro went to São Paulo to pledge loyalty to the Brazilian cause. Upon his return to Rio de Janeiro in September, he received a letter from José Bonifácio informing him that the Cortes had cancelled all acts from the Bonifácio cabinet and had stripped him of all the power he retained. This was the last straw for Pedro. He addressed his friends and Guard of Honour, informing them that any ties that they had once held with Portugal were now broken. He instructed them to remove their blue and white armbands (symbolising their ties to their Mother Land), and said, “Hail to the independence, to freedom and to the separation of Brazil. For my blood, my honour, my God, I swear to give Brazil freedom. Independence or death!” Word of the independent Brazil spread quickly, and locals celebrated the stance taken by Dom Pedro. The official breaking of ties occurred on 22 September 1822, when Pedro wrote a letter to his father, João VI. On 12 October 1822, Prince Pedro was acclaimed Do

Several   major archaeological sites—notably Caracol, Lamanai, Lubaantun,   Altun Ha, and Xunantunich—reflect the advanced civilization and much   denser population of that period. European contact began in 1502 when   Columbus sailed along the coast. The first recorded European settlement   was begun by shipwrecked English seamen in 1638. Over the next 150 years,   more English settlements were established. This period was also marked by   piracy, indiscriminate logging, and sporadic attacks by Indians and   neighboring Spanish settlements. Both Spain and Britain lay claim to the   land until Britain defeated the Spanish in the battle of St. George's Cay   (1798). It became a colony of Great Britain in 1840, known as British   Honduras, and a Crown colony in 1862. Full internal self-government was   granted in Jan. 1964. In 1973, the country changed its name to Belize. Belize became independent on Sept. 21, 1981. But   Guatemala, which had made claims on the territory since the 1800s, refused   to recognize it. British troops remained in the country to defend it.   Although the dispute between Guatemala and Great Britain remained   unresolved, Guatemala recognized Belize's sovereignty in Sept. 1991.   Guatemala, however, still claims more than half of Belize’s   territory. Prime Minister Said Musa was reelected to a   second term in 2003. Musa promised to improve conditions to the largely underdeveloped, southern part of Belize.


Ludwig Leichhardt was a Prussian naturalist and explorer explorer of what area between 1842 and 1848?

Ludwig Leichhardt | Monument Australia Photographs supplied by John Huth / Russell Byers A monument commemorates explorer Ludwig Leichhardt. Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Leichhardt, known as Ludwig Leichhardt, (23 October 1813 - c.1848) was a Prussian explorer and naturalist most famous for his exploration of northern and central Australia. On 14 February 1842 Leichhardt arrived in Sydney, Australia. His aim was to explore inland Australia and he was hopeful of a government appointment in his fields of interest. In September 1842 Leichhardt went to the Hunter River valley north of Sydney to study the geology, flora and fauna of the region, and to observe farming methods. He then set out on his own on a specimen-collecting journey that took him from Newcastle, New South Wales, to Moreton Bay in Queensland. After returning to Sydney early in 1844, Leichhardt hoped to take part in a proposed government-sponsored expedition from Moreton Bay to Port Essington (300 km north of Darwin, Northern Territory). When plans for this expedition fell through Leichhardt decided to mount the expedition himself, accompanied by volunteers and supported by private funding. His party left Sydney in August 1844 to sail to Moreton Bay, where four more joined the group. The expedition departed on 1 October 1844 from Jimbour, the farthest outpost of settlement on the Queensland Darling Downs. After a nearly 4,800 kilometres overland journey, and having long been given up for dead, Leichhardt arrived in Port Essington on 17 December 1845. He returned to Sydney by boat, arriving on 25 March 1846 to a hero's welcome. In 1848 Leichhardt again set out from the Condamine River to reach the Swan River. The expedition consisted of Leichhardt, four Europeans, two Aboriginal guides, seven horses, 20 mules and 50 bullocks. He was last seen on 3 April 1848 at McPherson's Station, Coogoon, on the Darling Downs. His disappearance after moving inland, although investigated by many, remains a mystery. Location


When did India first participate in the modern Olympic Games?

First modern Olympics is held - Apr 06, 1896 - HISTORY.com First modern Olympics is held Share this: First modern Olympics is held Author First modern Olympics is held URL Publisher A+E Networks On April 6, 1896, the first modern Olympic Games are held in Athens, Greece, with athletes from 14 countries participating. The International Olympic Committee met for the first time in Paris in June 1984 and chose Greece as the site of the inaugural modern Olympiad. The ancient games are believed to have originated in 776 B.C. in Olympia, Greece, where athletes competed in one event: a foot race. Over the years, other events were added, including chariot racing, boxing, wrestling and the pentathlon. Participants, who were all young men from Greek city-states and colonies, often battled it out in the buff, as a way to celebrate the human body, and winners received olive branches. The last ancient Olympics are thought to have taken place in A.D. 393. At the first modern Olympics, 241 male athletes (and no women) representing 14 nations competed in 43 events. America’s James Connolly became the first modern Olympic champion when he won the triple jump on the opening day of the Games. For his achievement, he was awarded a silver medal and an olive branch. Connolly later finished second in the high-jump event and took third in the long jump. France, Great Britain, Germany and Greece had the largest number of athletes participating. Nevertheless, the U.S. took home the most first-place finishes (11) of any nation, followed by Greece (10) and Germany (6). All told, America placed first, second or third in 20 events while Greece scored in 46 events and Germany placed in 13 competitions. To the delight of the hometown crowd, Greek runner Spyridon Louis won the marathon. The first Olympiad closed on April 15, 1896. The second Olympiad was held in Paris in 1900 with 997 athletes (22 of them women) from 24 countries competing in 95 events. The U.S. hosted the Olympics for the first time in 1904, in St. Louis. The third Olympiad marked the first time gold, silver and bronze medals were given out to first, second and third-place finishers. Starting in 1992, the summer and winter games, which had traditionally been held in the same year every four years, took place two years apart. The Summer Games returned to Athens in 2004, with 10,625 athletes (4,329 women and 6,296 men) from 201 nations participating in 301 events. Related Videos

"Who was the first person (and only person, except for ""Sergeant Pepper"") other than The Beatles themselves, to have their image on the front cover of a Beatles LP?"

Dimple Records - Beatles : Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band UPC Usually ships in two business days Notes / Reviews Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is the eighth studio album by the English rock group The Beatles, released on 1 June 1967 on the Parlophone label and produced by George Martin. It has since become acclaimed as one of the most important albums in the history of popular music including songs such as "Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds" and "A Day in the Life", Recorded over a 129-day period beginning in December 1966, Sgt. Pepper saw the band developing further the production techniques of their previous album, Revolver (1966). Martin's innovative and lavish production included the use of an orchestra and hired musicians ordered by the band â genres such as music hall, jazz, rock and roll, western classical and traditional Indian music are covered. The album cover art depicting the band posing in front of a collage of their favorite famous people has been widely acclaimed and imitated. Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band was a worldwide critical and commercial success, spending a total of 27 weeks at the top of the UK Album Chart and 15 weeks at number one on the American Billboard 200. A defining album in the emerging psychedelic rock style, Sgt. Pepper was critically acclaimed upon release and won four Grammy awards in 1968. Acclaimed by critics and publications as one of the most important albums in the history of popular music, Sgt. Pepper frequently ranks at or near the top of published lists of the greatest albums of all-time. In 2003, the album was placed at number one on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the "500 Greatest Albums of All Time". Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band is one of the world's best selling albums, having shipped 32 million copies. Background The Beatles had grown tired of performing live and had stopped touring in August 1966. After the stress of their final American tour, in particular the postponed Cincinnati concert, the four of themâincluding Paul McCartney, who was perhaps the most in favour of continuing to tourâdecided that it was enough. They took two months break, and individually got involved in their own interests. George Harrison, the lead guitarist, travelled to India to continue to develop his sitar playing at the invitation of Ravi Shankar, returning with a little more Indian culture and music. McCartney, with the assistance of producer/arranger George Martin, wrote the music for the film The Family Way, getting an Ivor Novello award the following year for best film song for the track "Love in the Open Air". John Lennon acted in How I Won the War, and attended art galleries, where he met his later wife Yoko Ono. Ringo Starr spent more time with his wife and children. In November, during a flight back from a holiday in Kenya with his girlfriend Jane Asher and tour manager Mal Evans, McCartney had the first idea for the concept of an alternative Beatles band that would become the Sgt Pepper's Lonely Heart's Club band. Production Affiche MrKite.jpgthumbCircus poster used for "Being for the Benefit of Mr. Kite!" Recording for the album began in late 1966 with a series of songs that were to form an album thematically linked to childhood and everyday life. The first fruits of this exercise, "Penny Lane" and "Strawberry Fields Forever", were released as a double-A-sided single in February 1967 after EMI and Epstein pressured George Martin for a released single. Once the singles were released the childhood concept was abandoned in favour of Pepper, and in keeping with the group's usual practice, the single tracks were not included on the LP (a decision George Martin states he now regrets). They were released only as a single in the UK at the time, but were included as part of the American LP version of Magical Mystery Tour (which was issued as a six-track double EP in Britain). The Harrison composition "Only a Northern Song" was also recorded during the Pepper sessions but did not see release until January 1969 when the

Prime Minister David Lloyd George is on the right. Witty and unconventionally brilliant at handling chauvinistic male MPs, Lady Astor was an American heiress who came to the UK for her second marriage. In 1919, her husband Waldorf Astor went to sit in the House of Lords. Lady Astor stood as a Conservative in his Plymouth seat and was elected MP, aged 40. She became an outspoken champion of equal rights and clashed regularly with Winston Churchill, who once remarked, “I find a woman’s intrusion into the House of Commons as embarrassing as if she burst into my bathroom when I had nothing to defend myself with”. Astor retorted, “You are not handsome enough to have worries of that kind.” Women have got to make the world safe for men since men have made it so darned unsafe for women. Nancy Astor Margaret Bondfield: first woman Cabinet Minister Universal History / Getty Margaret Bondfield (1873-1953), the first British woman cabinet minister. Margaret Bondfield was from a working-class family in Somerset and started her career in a draper’s shop, aged 14. Having experienced often shocking working conditions, she became a union representative when union membership was heavily frowned upon. After many years championing women’s organisations, she was elected Labour MP for Northampton in 1923. She was appointed to Ramsay MacDonald’s cabinet in 1929 as minister for labour but her success was short-lived. She lost her seat in the general election of 1931 and never returned to Parliament. I had no vocation for wifehood or motherhood, but an urge to serve the Union. Margaret Bondfield Baroness Swanborough: first woman peer to take her seat in the House of Lords National Portrait Gallery Stella Isaacs, Marchioness of Reading by Herbert James Gunn. By 1958, with a woman sitting on the throne, the establishment was under increasing pressure to modernise. On 21 October, Stella Isaacs, Marchioness of Reading and Baroness Swanborough, became the first woman to take a seat in the House of Lords as a result of the recently passed Life Peerages Act. She was an indomitable woman, heavily involved in charitable works throughout her life, including founding the Women's Voluntary Service just before World War Two. Three other women peers also took their seats in the Lords in 1958. I have no right to speak, except for my experience over many years with a great number of very strong common-sensical women.

She was in office for 11 years, winning three general elections, and was the longest serving prime minister for over 150 years.

Where is it believed that fireworks were invented?

Who Invented Fireworks? Who Invented Fireworks? Who invented fireworks? Fireworks are said to have originated in ancient China. The popular story goes that a cook mixed together saltpeter, charcoal and sulphur. The mix started burning. The cook went a step further and placed it in a bamboo tube. It exploded and the first  fireworks came to be. The invention of fireworks is linked to that of gunpowder since they are based in the same principles. Some say the invention took place some 2,000 years ago. Others place it at a later date in the 9th century of the Song Dynasty. There are those who believe gunpowder and fireworks were first discovered in India, but most agree it comes from China. In any event, the Chinese found different uses for this hot powder over the course of time. At first it was used only to play with. Then the first firecrackers appeared in about 1,000 years ago. They were made by a Chinese monk named Li Tian from Liu Yung city in Hu Nang. His memory was revered greatly by the Chinese. They celebrated April 18 to commemorate him. Today Liu Yung City is still a major firecracker producer in China. These firecrackers were used to celebrate the Lunar Yew Year. The Chinese believed they could frighten ghosts and evil spirits with their sounds. So it was good practice to light fireworks at the start of a new year. Later on, fireworks were used in other important events such as birthdays, funerals and festivals. But there was more in store from the black powder. During the 6th century, the Chinese were looking desperately for ways to fend off the Mongol army. They realized that the gunpowder could be used as an affective weapon against the invaders. So the first rockets in the shape of dragons were launched. The Europeans discovered fireworks and gunpowder by way of their travels to the east. It is said that either the Crusades or Marco Polo first imported gunpowder back home from China. Whoever was responsible, the locals welcomed this new discovery.  The famous Queen Elizabeth II even created a fire official known as “Master of Fire” to make sure the royal fireworks lit up as they should. Fireworks did not touch American soil until the 17th century. Europeans brought them to celebrate holidays and also to use against the native tribes. Today firecrackers are used all over the world to celebrate major events and holidays, both public and private. Governments spend millions of dollars in a bid to outdo one another with spectacular fireworks. The most recognizable is perhaps the annual fireworks show held at Sydney Harbor on New Year’s Eve.


Who won the 1996 Formula One Driver's championship?

1996 · F1 Fanatic 1996 1 World Drivers’ Championship – All drivers Only two-thirds of the 24 participants scored points        in 1996. Olivier Panis, Monaco Grand Prix winner, added just three        more points to the tenhe scored in that race. 2 World Drivers’ Championship – Battle for the title The championship battle was decided in the final round        although Jacques Villeneuve only had a slender chance of beat team-mate        Damon Hill. 3 World Drivers’ Championship – Points systems 1981-present To highlight how the post-2003 points system rewards        consistent finishing in the lower places more than occasional finishes        in the higher places, compare Jean Alesi and Michael Schumacher.        Alesi (no wins) trailled Schumacher (three wins) by 12 points in        real life, but under post-2003 points he would have been just two        points behind. 4 World Constructors’ Championships – All constructors Benetton could not live up to their championship-winning        performance in 1996 and dropped behind Ferrari and Williams. 5 World Constructors’ Championships – Battle for the title Williams ran away with the constructor’s championship        while Ferrari snuck into second at the final round. 6 Drivers’ Average Start Positions Forti duo Luca Badoer and Andrea Montermini made it to the grid        just 10 times from 22 attempts before the team folded after the        British Grand Prix. Villeneuve, new to much of the F1 calendar,        still took pole at his debut race, the first at the Melbourne Park        circuit. 7 Drivers’ Top 3 Qualifying Positions Hill started every race from the front row of the        grid, a clear example of the superiority of the Williams. 8 Drivers’ Average Position Changes and Participations Alesi and Gerhard Berger had swapped Ferrari overalls        for Benetton, where Berger found himself usually outqualified by        Alesi and fared less well moving up through the field (although        his late retirement in the German Grand Prix skews the statistics        somewhat). 9 Drivers’ Points per Round and per Finish Villeneuve proved slightly more consistent in terms        of bringing the car home than Hill, which brought him within range        of the championship. Ferrari unreliability hindered Schumacher. 10 Drivers’ DNFs (totals) Four disqualifications in 1996: Ukyo Katayama (Nurburgring),        Mika Salo twice (Nurburgring and Barcelona) and Johnny Herbert (Magny-Cours). 11 Drivers’ DNFs (by driver) Giovanni Lavaggi briefly took Giancarlo Fisichella’s        placeat Minardi as Lavaggi brought more money. What he coudn’t do,        though, was qualify the car within 107% of the pole position time – hence his three failures to qualify from six attempts. Leave a Reply

After the original Flintstones episodes went off the air, he came back and did Fred's voice in the movie "The man called Flinstone." I believe the latest voice work as Fred came in the mid 70's when he voiced for the Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm show (Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm as teenagers.) but Henry Corden finished and did Fred's voice for the commercials and the rest of the Flintstone movies to date, although another voice actor (don't know his name) who sounds very close to Reed's voice, takes over once in a while. http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0715284/ WILMA'S VOICE - JEAN VANDERPYL died on April 10, 1999.

On Star Trek Share: By MAKERS Team |  March 10, 2013 In honor of Women's History Month, we are celebrating with 31 days of women's history! Every day in March, we will highlight an historic moment, as told through the personal stories of our MAKERS. Today we highlight the first televised interracial kiss as told by MAKER Nichelle Nichols .    While she was playing Lieutenant Uhura on the legendary television series Star Trek, even Dr. Martin Luther King counted himself as her "greatest fan," pointing out the importance of her playing the first non-stereotypical role portrayed by a black woman in television history.   But that was not the only racial barrier she broke by playing the communications officer on the Enterprise. In 1968's episode "Plato's Stepchildren," Lt. Uhura and Captain Kirk were persuaded to kiss through alien telekinesis.
