Who plays Mary in the film 'There's something about Mary'?

See the Cast of 'There's Something About Mary' Then and Now See the Cast of 'There's Something About Mary' Then and Now August 8, 2013 @ 4:30 PM 20th Century Fox In 1998, writer and director duo Peter and Bobby Farrelly unleashed 'There's Something About Mary' on the world and the film became an instant comedy classic. The film follows Ted (Ben Stiller), a former high school loser who seeks out his dream girl (Cameron Diaz) for a second chance. 15 years later, we take a look back at the cast and see what they're up to now. Ben Stiller, Ted 20th Century Fox/Getty Images Then: The studio was initially reluctant to let the Farrelly brothers cast Ben Stiller, so the brothers chose a then-unknown Owen Wilson. When the studio was even more reluctant to cast Wilson, they let them go ahead with Stiller. Now: Stiller can be seen next in the adaptation of ' The Secret Life of Walter Mitty ,' which he also directed, and is currently working on a sequel to his cult comedy hit ' Zoolander .' He's married to actress Christine Taylor, and runs his own production shingle, Red Hour Ben, which produces the web series 'Burning Love.' Cameron Diaz, Mary 20th Century Fox/Getty Images Then: Cameron Diaz had become an overnight sensation thanks to roles in films like 'The Mask' and 'My Best Friend's Wedding.' Diaz plays Mary, the object of everyone's affection, even professional football players. Now: Diaz has starred in recent films 'Bad Teacher' and 'Gambit,' and can be seen next alongside Brad Pitt and Michael Fassbender in Ridley Scott's 'The Counselor.' Matt Dillon, Healy 20th Century Fox/Getty Images Then: Bill Murray, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Vince Vaughn were all considered for the role of slimy private investigator Pat Healy, but the part went to Matt Dillon, who also starred in 'Wild Things' that same year. Dillon and Diaz struck up a relationship around the time of filming. Now: Dillon recently made an appearance on the ABC sitcom 'Modern Family' and appears alongside Kristen Wiig in the indie comedy-drama 'Girl Most Likely.' Lee Evans, Tucker 20th Century Fox/Getty Images Then: Lee Evans played Tucker, a pizza delivery boy who pretends to be an architect to get closer to Mary. Though Evans is actually British, he was criticized heavily for his "fake British accent" in the film. Now: Evans is primarily a stage actor, whose film and television credits include 'The Ladies Man' and 'Doctor Who.' He can be seen this September in the stage play 'Barking in Essex.' Chris Elliott, Dom 20th Century Fox/Getty Images Then: Former 'SNL' cast member and star of 'Cabin Boy' Chris Elliott played Dom, Ted's friend who -- surprise -- also has a crush on Mary. Elliott previously starred in the Farrelly brothers' film 'Kingpin.' Now: Elliott has appeared on 'How I Met Your Mother' and 'Bored to Death,' and currently has his own show on Adult Swim called 'Eagleheart.' His daughter, Abby, starred on 'SNL' from 2008 to 2012 and his latest book, 'The Guy Under the Sheets,' came out last year. Lin Shaye, Magda 20th Century Fox/Getty Images Then: Like Elliott, veteran actress Lin Shaye also appeared in the Farrelly brothers' film 'Kingpin.' In 'There's Something About Mary,' Shaye plays Mary's eccentric neighbor, Magda. Now: Shaye recently appeared in 'Insidious,' and will reprise her role for the upcoming 'Insidious Chapter 2.' She reunited with the Farrelly brothers for their big screen version of 'The Three Stooges.' Jeffrey Tambor, Sully


In which US State did the Hindenburg Airship crash?

The Hindenburg Disaster | Airships.net Search for: The Hindenburg Disaster The Hindenburg disaster at Lakehurst, New Jersey on May 6, 1937 brought an end to the age of the rigid airship. The disaster killed 35 persons on the airship, and one member of the ground crew, but miraculously 62 of the 97 passengers and crew survived . After more than 30 years of passenger travel on commercial zeppelins — in which tens of thousands of passengers flew over a million miles, on more than 2,000 flights, without a single injury — the era of the passenger airship came to an end in a few fiery minutes. The Last Word in Speed and Luxury Hindenburg was the last passenger aircraft of the world’s first airline — her chief steward was the first flight attendant in history — and she was the fastest way to cross the Atlantic in her day. Hindenburg’s passengers could travel from Europe to North and South America in half the time of the fastest ocean liner, and they traveled in luxurious interiors that would never again be matched in the air; they enjoyed meals in an elegant dining room, listened to an aluminum piano in a modern lounge, slept in comfortable cabins, and could even have a cigarette or cigar in the ship’s smoking room . Hindenburg’s Dining Room All that came to an end in 32 seconds because above the elegant passenger quarters were 7 million cubic feet of hydrogen gas. The Cause of the Disaster, in Brief Almost 80 years of research and scientific tests support the same conclusion reached by the original German and American accident investigations in 1937: It seems clear that the Hindenburg disaster was caused by an electrostatic discharge (i.e., a spark) that ignited leaking  hydrogen . The spark was most likely caused by a difference in electric potential between the airship and the surrounding air: The airship was approximately 60 meters (about 200 feet) above the airfield in an electrically charged atmosphere, but the ship’s metal framework was grounded by its landing line; the difference in electric potential likely caused a spark to jump from the ship’s fabric covering (which had the ability to hold a charge) to the ship’s framework (which was grounded through the landing line). A somewhat less likely but still plausible theory attributes the spark to coronal discharge, more commonly known as St. Elmo’s Fire. The cause of the hydrogen leak is more of a mystery, but we know the ship experienced a significant leakage of hydrogen before the disaster. No evidence of sabotage was ever found, and no convincing theory of sabotaged has ever been advanced. One thing is clear: the disaster had nothing to do with the zeppelin’s fabric covering . Hindenburg was just one of many  hydrogen airships destroyed by fire because of their flammable lifting gas, and suggestions about the alleged flammability of the ship’s outer covering have been repeatedly debunked. The simple truth is that Hindenburg was destroyed in 32 seconds because it was inflated with  hydrogen . The Last Flight of the Hindenburg Hindenburg began its last flight on May 3, 1937, carrying 36 passengers and 61 officers, crew members, and trainees . It was the airship’s 63rd flight . The ship left the Frankfurt airfield at 7:16 PM and flew over Cologne, and then crossed the Netherlands before following the English Channel past the chalky cliffs of Beachy Head in southern England, and then heading out over the Atlantic shortly after 2:00 AM the next day. Hindenburg at the Frankfurt airfield in 1936 Hindenburg followed a northern track across the ocean [view chart ], passing the southern tip of Greenland and crossing the North American coast at Newfoundland.  Headwinds delayed the airship’s passage across the Atlantic, and the Lakehurst arrival, which had been scheduled for 6:00 AM on May 6th, was postponed to 6:00 PM. By noon on May 6th the ship had reached Boston, and by 3:00 PM Hindenburg was over the skyscrapers of Manhattan in New York City (view photograph ).

Who ruled England between 1603 and 1625?

King James I | Britroyals Born: June 19, 1566 at Edinburgh Castle, Scotland Parents: Mary, Queen of Scots, and Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley Relation to Elizabeth II: 9th great-grandfather House of: Stuart Ascended to the throne: March 24, 1603 aged 36 years Crowned: July 25, 1603 at Westminster Abbey, also as James VI of Scotland at Stirling Castle on July 29, 1567 Married: Anne, Daughter of Frederick II of Denmark and Norway Children: Three sons and five daughters, of whom three survived infancy; Henry, Elizabeth and Charles Died: March 27, 1625 at Theobalds Park, Hertfordshire, aged 58 years, 9 months, and 7 days Buried at: Westminster Reigned for: 22 years, and 3 days, King of Scotland for 57 years 1567-1625 Succeeded by: his son Charles James was the son of Mary Queen of Scots and her second husband Henry Stewart, Lord Darnley. He was descended through the Scottish kings from Robert the Bruce, and the English Tudors through his great grandmother Margaret Tudor sister of Henry VIII. His parent�s marriage was short-lived and Darnley was found murdered 8 months after James was born in June 1566. His mother married again, but in 1567 was forced to renounce the throne of Scotland in favour of her infant son. James became King James VI of Scotland aged 13 months in July 1567, and was crowned at Stirling. Mary fled to England where she was eventually executed following Catholic plots against Elizabeth I in 1587. His childhood and adolescence were unhappy, abnormal, and precarious; he had various guardians, whose treatment of him differed widely. His education, although thorough, was weighted with strong Presbyterian and Calvinist political doctrine, and his character � highly intelligent and sensitive, but also fundamentally shallow, vain, and exhibitionist � reacted violently to this. He also sought solace with extravagant and unsavoury male favourites who, in later years, were to have a damaging effect on his prestige and state affairs. A suitable Queen was found for him in Anne of Denmark and they were married in 1589. As King of Scotland, he curbed the power of the nobility, although his attempts to limit the authority of the Kirk (Church of Scotland) were less successful. When Elizabeth I of England died in 1603 unmarried, James moved to London and was crowned King James I of England the first of the Stuart Kings of the combined crowns of England and Scotland. The English courtiers were wary of his Scottish favourites, affairs with male courtiers and uncouth ways. He was however a supporter of literature and arts. William Shakespeare was among the �Kings Men� troupe of actors who performed plays for their patron James. He commissioned the King James Authorized Version of the Bible, published in 1611, which remains one of the most important English translations of the Bible. He initially acted mainly upon the advice of Robert Cecil, Earl of Salisbury, but on Salisbury�s death all restraint vanished. His religious policy consisted of asserting the supreme authority and divine right of the crown and suppressing both Puritans and Catholics who objected. Guy Fawkes' attempt to blow up Parliament in 1605 produced an anti-Catholic reaction, which gave James a temporary popularity which soon dissipated. His foreign policy aimed primarily at achieving closer relations with Spain was not liked by Parliament who saw Spain as the Old Catholic enemy of the Armada and competitor for world trade. During his reign the East India Company expanded trade bringing spices from the East, and Jamestown was founded in Virginia. His willingness to compromise politically, even while continuing to talk in terms of absolutism, largely accounts for the superficial stability of his reign. However, the effects of many of his actions were long term, becoming fully obvious only after his death. James and Anne had 8 children only three of whom survived infancy. Their eldest son Henry died aged 18 of typhoid, and their 2nd son Charles became King Charles I. The marriage of their daughter Elizabeth to Frederic V, Elector Palatine and King of Bohem


For which band did Bon Scott, who died in 1980, sing?

The Death of Bon Scott The Death of Bon Scott By Dave Swanson February 19, 2016 8:26 AM REDDIT Paul Kane, Getty Images On Feb. 19, 1980, Bon Scott was found dead. The legendary AC/DC frontman had been out drinking with friends — but the casual evening took a terrible turn as Scott passed out in his car, and ultimately choked to death on his own vomit. He was only 33 years old. “For us, it was like losing a member of your family,” guitarist Angus Young said in a subsequent interview . “It’s very, very difficult to go through something like that. Not only is it your friend, it’s also somebody you’ve been working with all that time.” Throughout 1979, AC/DC had been a band on the rise. Highway to Hell , their seventh album, had truly put them on the map, especially in America. The accompanying tour had also proved to be a huge success. On Jan. 27, 1980,  the final show of the Highway to Hell tour took place at the Gaumont Theatre in Southampton, U.K. This would also prove to be Scott’s last show. Just over three weeks later, Alistair Kinnear — a friend who had been out with Scott — discovered the body. “I left him in the car and rang his doorbell,” Kinnear remembered later . “I was unable to wake Bon, so I rang Silver [Smith, a former girlfriend of Bon’s]. She said he passed out quite frequently and that it was best just to leave him to sleep it off.” Kinnear said he put the seat back, so Scott could lie flat. The next morning, Kinnear says he discovered that his friend was still in the car — but not breathing. Kinnear rushed him to King’s College Hospital, but Scott was pronounced dead on arrival. In some corners, the evening’s events have remained up for debate. Also at the bar that fateful evening with Scott was original AC/DC drummer Colin Burgess, who said he remembered “us leaving and he was alright — like he wasn’t drunk at all. And we went home, and the next day he’s dead! To me it’s just a really, really strange thing.” Elsewhere in the same talk for author Murray Engleheart’s band bio AC/DC: Maximum Rock & Roll, Burgess added: “I can definitely say, to this day, that when we left, he was definitely not drunk at all.” What remains certain: One of the most dynamic frontmen in rock ‘n’ roll history was gone. AC/DC had already begun working on songs for the follow up to Highway to Hell, and Scott was due to join their on-going sessions the very next day. In April 1980, AC/DC hired Brian Johnson as their new singer, and finished the songs. Contrary to popular myth, there are no tracks in the vaults with Scott’s vocals on any of the material that followed on Back In Black . Ultimately, the album would end up being a tribute to Scott. “We wanted just a simple black cover,” Young told VH-1’s Behind the Music . “We wouldn’t have even done him justice in words. Even the bell in the beginning of ‘Hell’s Bells’ was our little tribute.” Released in the summer of 1980, Back in Black went on to make AC/DC international superstars, and remains one of the biggest selling albums of all time.

In which city is Corriere Della Sera the daily paper?

Corriere della Sera | Italian newspaper | Britannica.com Corriere della Sera Daily Mail Corriere della Sera, (     Italian: “Evening Courier”) morning daily newspaper published in Milan , long one of Italy’s leading newspapers, in terms of both circulation and influence, noted for its foreign coverage and its independence. It was Italy’s preeminent daily for many years following World War II . Headquarters of Corriere della Sera, Milan, Italy. Giovanni Dall’Orto Established in 1876 as an evening paper, it later became a morning daily but retained the name. It was acquired in 1885 by a wealthy textile family, the Crespis, who gave it complete editorial independence. Except during the years of fascist rule in Italy, Corriere della Sera followed an independent-centrist editorial policy until the 1970s. In that decade, which was marked at Corriere della Sera by labour disputes, changes in editors, and a change of owners, the paper’s editorial position moved steadily to the left, which prompted a group of editorial employees to move to Corriere della Sera’s centrist rival, Il Giorno. The paper has appealed to both the upper and the middle classes with its serious and literary style. Using special traveling correspondents and authoritative writers, it has offered finely written, personalized reports and many special departments. The paper also uses such unusual features as an entire page devoted to one subject. Its national coverage is substantial; it has some 600 correspondents throughout Italy and bureaus in 20 foreign cities. Screenshot of the online home page of Corriere della Sera.

What type of animal is Bagheera in 'The Jungle Book'?

Bagheera | Disney Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia “You have the word of Bagheera.” ―Bagheera Bagheera is the tritagonist of Disney's 1967 film the The Jungle Book . He serves as the guardian of "Man-Cub", Mowgli for most of the original film, and is the somewhat reluctant companion of Baloo . Contents Background Personality Bagheera is presented as a wise figure. Level headed and intelligent, the panther is amongst the most down-to-earth residents of the jungle. When first introduced, he is seen as a selfless and caring individual, rescuing the orphaned Mowgli, and going out of his way to ensure his safety from that moment forward. Although he cares a great deal about the man-cub, Bagheera is also easily frustrated and intolerable of tomfoolery. This would result in rather heated arguments against the two, specifically in regards to whether or not Mowgli should remain in the jungle or return to the Man Village to live amongst his own species. Bagheera's temper can occasionally blind his sense of judgment, resulting in careless behavior such as abandoning Mowgli in the jungle despite the knowing dangers that lurk. Nevertheless, he is quick to reform and repeatedly finds himself by Mowgli's side once again. He is a devoted ally and makes it a crucial objective to protect those he cares about. Bagheera is also commonly known as the foil of Baloo the bear, whom the former views as a "stupid, jungle bum". The two have opposite personalities, and continuously annoy one another with their need to push their own personal opinions onto each other. Nevertheless, these conflicts mostly centered around Mowgli's fate, and the two generally share a brotherly bond. Following the climax, when it appeared Baloo had met his demise, Bagheera revealed that he truly did care for the bear, and was notably embarrassed to see that Baloo had overheard his heartfelt eulogy. Once Mowgli made the decision to return to the Man Village, Bagheera and Baloo joyfully returned to their lives in the jungle, setting aside their differences and remained together as best friends. Physical Appearance Bagheera is a slender, dark gray panther. He has a gray muzzle and a pink nose, and his eyebrows are black. He has yellow eyes with black pupils, and a pair of numerous whiskers. Appearances The Jungle Book Bagheera in The Jungle Book. Bagheera is the first major character to appear in the film and he narrates the first part of the film too. He discovers an infant amidst the debris of a wrecked canoe. Knowing that the man-cub would need nourishment and that the nearest village was days away, he brings the baby to a family of wolves who had recently had cubs. The wolves name the baby, Mowgli and make him part of their wolf family. There, Mowgli is nurtured for 10 years, with Bagheera often stopping by to check on him. However, Bagheera knew that eventually, Mowgli would have to return to his own kind someday. Bagheera's notion proves right when a tiger named Shere Khan returns to their part of the jungle where the wolf pack lives, and threatens to kill the boy and all those who would protect him. As a result, the wolf elders decide to have Mowgli leave the pack, so Bagheera offers to take him to a man village, where Mowgli will be safe. Bagheera starts the journey that night, but runs into problems as Mowgli does not want to leave the jungle. Even the threat of Shere Khan and a run in with a snake named Kaa does not change the boy's mind. Aggravated, Bagheera tries (but fails) to drag Mowgli all the way to the man-village by his loincloth and immediately after, leaves Mowgli on his own, but upon hearing a roar, quickly rushes back to Mowgli's aid. To add to his annoyance, he discovers that the roar is none other than one of his friends, a bear named Baloo , who was playing with Mowgli. Bagheera declares that Mowgli must go back to the man-village, but Mowgli decides to stay with Baloo, who has promised to take care of him. Bagheera chooses to leave Mowgli in Baloo's care, knowing that Baloo will soon need his help. Sure enough, Mowgli is kidnapped by monkeys and Ba


What was the name of the lioness in the book 'Born Free'?

Elsa's Legacy: The Born Free Story | About | Nature | PBS Elsa’s Legacy: The Born Free Story About Premiere date: January 8, 2011 | 0:00:31 | Buy the DVD In 1960, a book written about raising an orphaned lion cub named Elsa and then releasing her back into the wild became a worldwide bestseller. Born Free was a game changer that essentially altered the way we perceive relationships between humans and animals. Because of the emotional bond George and Joy Adamson formed with Elsa, lions could no longer be dismissed simply as brutal killers to be shot while on safari. Elsa became an individual in the eyes of the world, and her story made her a symbol for all animals’ right to live free. Hollywood took the story to the next level with the 1966 release of the film based on the book. Starring real-life husband and wife Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna as George and Joy Adamson, it became a box office hit and award-winner, and turned Travers and McKenna into wildlife activists in the process. But behind all the bright lights and public success lies the actual day-to-day story of the Adamsons’ life with Elsa. Diaries, home movies and detailed records reveal the real difficulties faced by the Adamsons as they began and continued their pioneering work with lions despite changing perceptions of their work and the increasing dangers around them. Recollections of Virginia McKenna and others who knew and worked with the Adamsons reshape the story told fifty years ago, retelling it as it really happened, and with no fairy tale ending. But Elsa’s legacy lives on as a touchstone for all who would speak for and work to support the freedom and welfare of wild animals everywhere.


Of which protein are hair and nails made?

Skin, Hair, and Nails Skin, Hair, and Nails La piel, el cabello y las uñas Your skin is your largest organ. If the skin of a typical 150-pound (68-kilogram) adult male were stretched out flat, it would cover about 2 square yards (1.7 square meters) and weigh about 9 pounds (4 kilograms). Skin protects the network of muscles, bones , nerves, blood vessels , and everything else inside our bodies. Eyelids have the thinnest skin, the soles of our feet the thickest. Hair is actually a modified type of skin. Hair grows everywhere on the human body except the palms of the hands, soles of the feet, and lips. Hair grows more quickly in summer than winter, and more slowly at night than during the day. Like hair, nails are a type of modified skin — and they're not just for beauty. Nails protect the sensitive tips of our fingers and toes. Human nails are not necessary for living, but they do provide support for the tips of the fingers and toes, protect them from injury, and aid in picking up small objects. Without them, we'd have a hard time scratching an itch or untying a knot. Nails can be an indicator of a person's general health, and illness often affects their growth. Skin Basics Skin is essential to a person's survival. It forms a barrier that prevents harmful substances and microorganisms from entering the body. It protects body tissues against injury. Our skin also controls the loss of life-sustaining fluids like blood and water, helps us regulate body temperature through perspiration, and protects us from the sun's damaging ultraviolet rays. Without the nerve cells in our skin, we couldn't feel warmth, cold, or other sensations. Our skin can also respond to situations and emotions: Muscles in the skin called erector pili contract to make the hairs on our skin stand up straight (goosebumps) when we are cold or frightened — for insulation and protection. Every square inch of skin contains thousands of cells and hundreds of sweat glands, oil glands, nerve endings, and blood vessels. Skin is made up of three layers: the epidermis (pronounced: ep-ih-DUR-mis), dermis, and the subcutaneous (pronounced: sub-kyoo-TAY-nee-us) tissue. continue Skin Cells and Layers The upper layer of our skin, the epidermis, is the tough, protective outer layer. It is about as thick as a sheet of paper over most parts of the body. The epidermis has four layers of cells that are constantly flaking off and being renewed. In these four layers are three special types of cells: Melanocytes (pronounced: meh-LAH-nuh-sites) produce melanin, the pigment that gives skin its color. All people have roughly the same number of melanocytes; the more melanin that is produced, the darker the skin. Exposure to sunlight increases the production of melanin, which is why people get suntanned or freckled. Keratinocytes (pronounced: ker-uh-TIH-no-sites) produce keratin, a type of protein that is a basic component of hair and nails. Keratin is also found in skin cells in the skin's outer layer, where it helps create a protective barrier. Langerhans (pronounced: LAHNG-ur-hanz) cells help protect the body against infection. Because the cells in the epidermis are completely replaced about every 28 days, cuts and scrapes heal quickly. Below the epidermis is the next layer of our skin, the dermis, which is made up of blood vessels, nerve endings, and connective tissue. The dermis nourishes the epidermis. Without certain molecules in the dermis, our skin wouldn't stretch when we bend or reposition itself when we straighten up. These two types of fibers in the dermis, collagen and elastin, help the skin stretch and reposition itself when we move. Collagen is strong and hard to stretch and elastin, as its name suggests, is elastic. In older people, some of the elastin-containing fibers degenerate, which is one reason why the skin looks wrinkled (most wrinkles are caused by sun exposure, though!). The dermis also contains a person's sebaceous glands. These glands, which surround and empty into our hair follicles and pores, produce an oil called sebum (pronounced: SEE-bum) that lubric

The capital, Ouagadougou , is in the centre of the country and lies about 500 miles (800 km) from the Atlantic Ocean . Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Land Burkina Faso is bounded by Mali to the north and west, Niger to the northeast, Benin to the southeast, and Côte d’Ivoire , Ghana , and Togo to the south. Encyclopædia Britannica, Inc. Relief, drainage, and soils Burkina Faso is situated on an extensive plateau, which is slightly inclined toward the south. The lateritic (red, leached, iron-bearing) layer of rock that covers the underlying crystalline rocks is deeply incised by the country’s three principal rivers—the Black Volta (Mouhoun), the Red Volta (Nazinon), and the White Volta (Nakambé)—all of which converge in Ghana to the south to form the Volta River . The Oti , another tributary of the Volta, rises in southeastern Burkina Faso. Great seasonal variation occurs in the flow of the rivers, and some rivers become dry beds during the dry season. In the southwest there are sandstone plateaus bordered by the Banfora Escarpment, which is about 500 feet (150 metres) high and faces southeast. Much of the soil in the country is infertile. Climate African Leaders: Part One The northern part of the country consists of savanna , with prickly shrubs and stunted trees that flourish during the rainy season. In the south, the prickly shrubs give way to scattered forests, which become more dense along the banks of the perennial rivers. The karite (shea tree) and the baobab (hibiscus tree) are endemic in this region. Animal life includes buffalo, antelope, lions, hippopotamuses, elephants, crocodiles, and monkeys. Bird and insect life is rich and varied, and there are many species of fish in the rivers. Burkina Faso’s national parks include Po in the south-centre of the country, Arly in the southeast, and “W” in the east, straddling the border with Benin and Niger. People Ethnic groups and languages The major ethnolinguistic group of Burkina Faso is the Mossi . They speak a Niger-Congo language of the Gur branch and have been connected for centuries to the region they inhabit. They have absorbed a number of peoples including the Gurma and the Yarse. The last-mentioned group has Mande origins but is assimilated into the Mossi and shares their language (called Moore). Other Gur-speaking peoples are the Gurunsi, the Senufo , the Bwa , and the Lobi .

Which boxer was nicknamed Homicide Hank?

Henry Armstrong - Minister, Boxer - Biography.com Henry Armstrong Henry Armstrong was the first boxer to hold simultaneous world championship titles in three different divisions. After retiring, he became a Baptist minister. IN THESE GROUPS Famous People Who Died in Los Angeles Synopsis Born in Columbus, Mississippi, on December 12, 1912, boxer Henry Armstrong became the featherweight, welterweight and lightweight world champion in 1938. He was the first boxer to hold three different titles simultaneously. After he retired, Armstrong overcame alcoholism. He also became a Baptist minister and worked with at-risk youth. He was 75 when he died in Los Angeles on October 22, 1988. Early Life Henry Armstrong was born Henry Jackson Jr. in Columbus, Mississippi, on December 12, 1912. When he was 4, Armstrong and his large family—he was the 11th of 15 children—moved to St. Louis. There, his grandmother took care of him after his mother passed away. After graduating from high school, Armstrong worked laying railroad track. While on the job one day, he saw an article about a boxer who had earned $75,000 for a fight. Inspired, he decided to pursue boxing himself. Beginning Boxing Career In 1931, Armstrong fought as a professional in Pennsylvania, using the name Melody Jackson. He then headed to Los Angeles, where he became Henry Armstrong—he chose the last name of a close friend—and stood as an amateur once more. When he didn't make the 1932 Olympic team, Armstrong again turned pro. After witnessing Armstrong's ability to overwhelm opponents with an unceasing assault of punches, Al Jolson became one of the owners of the fighter's contract. With new manager Eddie Mead, a plan was concocted for Armstrong to take the boxing world by storm by winning multiple titles. Rise and Fall of a Champion In 1937, Armstrong became the featherweight champion after knocking out Petey Sarron. The next year, he moved up two weight classes and, in May, took the welterweight title from Barney Ross. A few months later, he shifted down into the lightweight category. His August 1938 win against Lou Ambers gave Armstrong the lightweight crown and made him the first boxer to hold three different weight division titles at the same time. At the end of 1938, Armstrong chose not to defend the featherweight title. He lost the lightweight title in 1939. Armstrong tried to become the middleweight champion in March of 1940, but the match ended in a draw. Many observers believed that he had been robbed by the decision. Armstrong successfully defended his welterweight crown multiple times, but on October 4, 1940, a defeat by Fritzie Zivic saw him lose that title as well. Although he had more wins in his career, including one against Zivic in 1942, Armstrong would never again hold a championship title. Life After Boxing In 1945, Armstrong retired from boxing. Though he had won at least half a million dollars during his career, he had very little money left when he retired. He soon compounded his problems by drinking heavily. Armstrong became a Baptist minister in 1951. He stopped drinking and started to work with at-risk youth in Los Angeles. After moving back to St. Louis, he took a job at the Herbert Hoover Boys Club. Later Years and Legacy As he grew older, Armstrong's health began to decline, perhaps due in part to the brutal poundings he had endured in the ring. Dependent on Social Security to make ends meet, he also had to deal with failing vision and dementia in his last years. He died on October 22, 1988, in Los Angeles, at the age of 75. Armstrong was inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame in 1990. That organization lists him as having attained 151 wins, 21 losses and nine draws in 181 fights. In addition to this impressive record, Armstrong remains a boxing legend for his concurrent world titles in three separate divisions. Fact Check We strive for accuracy and fairness.

In which county is Hinckley Point Power Station?

China To Invest In Hinkley Point Nuclear Plant Weather China To Invest In Hinkley Point Nuclear Plant Building Britain's first new nuclear power station for 20 years moves a step closer, as George Osborne announces new investment. 02:20, UK, Monday 21 September 2015 Video: Osborne's Chinese Charm Offensive Mail George Osborne has said the UK is a "great home" for Chinese investment, after it was revealed a new nuclear power station at Hinkley Point in Somerset will be part funded by Chinese money. Announcing the move during a five-day visit to China, the Chancellor said the proposed plant was "essential" to ensure the lights stay on as ageing nuclear and coal plants are retired over the coming 10 years. He said the deal "paves the way for Chinese investment in UK nuclear and helps to secure the power supply for our country into the future. Image Caption: A computer generated image of the proposed Hinkley Point nuclear plant "I think it is a partnership that is good for both countries." Investing In Britain: What Does China Own? Video: Oct 2013: UK Signs China Power Deal Hinkley Point C near Bridgwater will be Britain's first new nuclear power station for 20 years and will cost a total £25bn, with the Government providing £2bn of initial support. It is expected to supply 7% of the UK's electricity needs and create tens of thousands of jobs, as well as boosting Britain's energy security, Mr Osborne said. The Government's financial guarantee will pave the way for a final investment decision later this year by French company EDF, supported by China General Nuclear Corporation and China National Nuclear Corporation. The Treasury made clear that further amounts will potentially be available in the longer term and voiced its hope that Hinkley Point will open the door to "unprecedented" UK-Chinese collaboration on power station construction. Energy Secretary Amber Rudd described new nuclear power as "a vital part of our long-term plan to provide secure, clean energy supplies that hard-working families and businesses can rely on in the decades ahead". The guarantee was "an important step forward for the first new nuclear power station in a generation and the future of our home-grown energy supplies," she said. :: Analysis: China Voices Concern Over Britain's Economy EDF Energy chief executive Vincent de Rivaz said: "The Chancellor's approval of the infrastructure guarantee is a clear sign of the Government's commitment to Hinkley Point C. "The Government's determination to bring about a renewal of infrastructure and to attract inward investment to the UK are demonstrated by this good news." But Greenpeace UK chief scientist Doug Parr dismissed the guarantee as a "PA smokescreen" to hide the reality that Hinkley Point is "bogged down in a swamp of troubles". The GMB union welcomed the financial guarantee, but warned it should not be linked to a green light for the use of Chinese nuclear technology at Bradwell in Essex. GMB national secretary for energy Brian Strutton, national secretary for energy at the GMB union, said: "Chinese nuclear technology is unproven and no UK government should even consider allowing it to be used in a new nuclear power station 60 miles from London. "We have the technology and funding in the UK and MPs must insist that the UK Government goes ahead with that." Top Stories

Gandhi was killed by as assassin's bullet today. The assassin was a Hindu who fired three shots from a pistol at a range of three feet. The 78-year-old Gandhi, who was the one person who held discordant elements together and kept some sort of unity in this turbulent land, was shot down at 5:15 P. M. as he was proceeding through the Biria House gardens to the pergola from which he was to deliver his daily prayer meeting message. The assassin was immediately seized. He later identified himself as Nathura Vinayak Godse, 36, a Hindu of the Mahratta tribes in Poona. This has been a center of resistance to Gandhi's ideology. Mr. Gandhi died twenty-five minutes later. His death left all India stunned and bewildered as to the direction that this newly independent nation would take without its "Mahatma" (Great Teacher). The loss of Mr. Gandhi brings this country of 300,000,000 abruptly to a crossroads. Mingled with the sadness in this capital tonight was an undercurrent of fear and uncertainty, for now the strongest influence for peace in India that this generation has known is gone.

The Associated Press reported that fifteen persons were killed and more than fifty injured before an uneasy peace was established.] Appeal Made By Nehru Prime Minister Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru, in a voice choked with emotion, appealed in a radio address tonight for a sane approach to the future. He asked that India's path be turned away from violence in memory of the great peacemaker who had departed. Mr. Gandhi's body will be cremated in the orthodox Hindu fashion according to his often expressed wishes. His body will be carried from his New Delhi residence on a simple wooden cot covered with a sheet at 11:30 tomorrow morning. The funeral procession will wind through every principal street of the two cites of New and old Delhi and reach the burning ghats on the bank of the sacred Jumna River at about 4 P. M. There the remains of the greatest Indian since Gautama Buddha will be wrapped in a sheet, laid on a pyre of wood and burned. His ashes will be scattered on the Jumna's waters, eventually to mingle with the Ganges where the two holy rivers meet at the temple city of Allahabad.

How many points are given to a driver for winning a Formula One Grand Prix?

Points, classification and race distance Points, classification and race distance Share What the sporting regulations say: Formula One races are of near identical distance, calculated in the regulations as the least number of laps required to exceed 305 kilometres. Some races invariably take longer than others however due to the differing average speeds of circuits. The Formula One World Championship driver's title will be awarded to the driver who has scored the highest number of points. Article 6.1 of the 2017 FIA Sporting Regulations The only exception is Monaco, where the race distance is calculated as the minimum number of laps exceeding 260 kilometres. However, a two-hour cut-off applies to all Grands Prix. If this is exceeded, the leading driver will be shown the chequered flag on the lap during which the two-hour mark elapsed. At the conclusion of each Grand Prix, the top ten finishers will score points towards both the drivers’ and constructors’ world championships, according to the following scale: 1st : 25 points 9th : 2 points 10th : 1 point The only exception to this is when a race is suspended and cannot be restarted. In that instance half points will be awarded if less than 75 percent of the race distance has been completed, while no points will be awarded if less than two laps have been completed. Any driver who completes over 90 percent of the race will be classified as a finisher, regardless of whether they were running as the winner took the chequered flag.  The drivers' and constructors' championship titles are awarded to the driver and constructor who score the most points over the course of the season. In the event of any ties for position, the driver with superior race results (based on descending order, from number of wins to numbers of second-places down) will gain precedence.


Which King of England married Caroline of Ansbach?

The Wives of the Georgian Kings: Caroline of Ansbach – Royal Central The Royal W: Gentleman Usher of the Blue Rod Lucy Worsley has called Caroline of Ansbach “the cleverest queen consort ever to sit on the throne of England”. In many ways, she really was. The wife of King George II was a patron of the arts and never missed an opportunity to branch out her knowledge. She was extremely well read, and during her husband’s reign, she popularised inoculation among the masses. Caroline served as regent on occasion, and her death left the King devastated – so devastated, in fact, that he never married again. Caroline of Ansbach as Queen of Great Britain and Ireland. Caroline of Ansbach was born on 1st March 1683. Her parents were John Frederick, the Margrave of the small German state of Ansbach, and his wife Eleonore. Her father died when she was only three years old, and Caroline and her younger brother had to accompany their mother to Dresden, where she married the Elector of Saxony. After Eleanore’s death in 1696, Caroline went to live, first with her half-brother, the new Margrave of Ansbach, and then with the future King Frederick I of Prussia and his wife, Sophia Charlotte of Hanover. By a happy coincidence, Sophia Charlotte was the sister of the future King George I of England. George had a stormy relationship with his own wife , and didn’t want his son, George Augustus, to go through the same thing. So George Augustus was given the freedom to choose a wife of his liking. He settled upon Caroline when, after having heard good reports of her from his aunt, he visited the court in Ansbach to see his future bride. George Augustus immediately took a liking to Caroline’s good character, and the couple were married in Hanover in 1705. Their eldest son, Frederick Ludwig, was born a little less than two years later. Almost immediately after Frederick’s birth, Caroline came down with smallpox. Her infant son was kept away from her to avoid catching the disease, but George Augustus stayed by her side and subseqeuntly developed smallpox himself. Thankfully, the pair recovered soon enough, and Caroline went on to have seven more children with her husband, all but one of whom survived till adulthood. For the first nine years of Caroline’s marriage, she enjoyed a relatively quite life in Hanover with her four oldest children. That all changed in 1714, when her father-in-law ascended the throne of England as King George I. George Augustus was now the Prince of Wales, and since the new King had divorced his wife, Caroline, now as the Princess of Wales, was the highest-ranking lady in the entire kingdom. She arrived on British shores in October with her daughters – her seven year-old son Frederick had been left behind to represent his grandfather in Hanover. In England, both Caroline and George Augustus made an effort to learn the English language and politics. King George, on the other hand, favoured the German customs, which led to the creation of a separate court run by the Prince of Wales. King George and his son had shared a tense relationship ever since the former imprisoned the latter’s mother in a castle, and the formation of this rival court only made matters worse. Things came to a head in 1717 at the baptism of George and Caroline’s son, George William. Father and son got into an argument over who were to be the baby’s godparents and, infuriated by his son’s behaviour, King George had the Prince and Princess of Wales placed under house arrest in St James’ Palace, while their children were placed under his care. Just as he had done with his own wife, George forbade his son and daughter-in-law from meeting their children. Being separated from her children took a serious toll on Caroline’s health. So desperate was she to see them that she paid her children a secret visit, against the King’s orders. Seeing Caroline’s state, George grudgingly allowed her to contact the young Prince and Princesses. Unfortunately, while all this was taking place little George William fell very ill, and died shortly afterwards. Both Caroline and Georg


Which opera singer was known as La Stupenda?

Joan Sutherland, Soprano Known as ‘La Stupenda,’ Dies at 83 - The New York Times The New York Times Music |Joan Sutherland, Flawless Soprano, Is Dead at 83 Search Joan Sutherland , one of the most acclaimed sopranos of the 20th century, a singer of such power and range that she was crowned “La Stupenda,” died on Sunday at her home in Switzerland, near Montreux. She was 83. Her death was confirmed by her close friend the mezzo-soprano Marilyn Horne. It was Italy’s notoriously picky critics who dubbed the Australian-born Ms. Sutherland the Stupendous One after her Italian debut, in Venice in 1960. And for 40 years the name endured with opera lovers around the world. Her 1961 debut at the Metropolitan Opera in New York, in Donizetti’s “Lucia di Lammermoor,” generated so much excitement that standees began lining up at 7:30 that morning. Her singing of the Mad Scene drew a thunderous 12-minute ovation. Ms. Sutherland’s singing was founded on astonishing technique. Her voice was evenly produced throughout an enormous range, from a low G to effortless flights above high C. She could spin lyrical phrases with elegant legato, subtle colorings and expressive nuances. Her sound was warm, vibrant and resonant, without any forcing. Indeed, her voice was so naturally large that at the start of her career Ms. Sutherland seemed destined to become a Wagnerian dramatic soprano. Following her first professional performances, in 1948, during a decade of steady growth and intensive training, Ms. Sutherland developed incomparable facility for fast runs, elaborate roulades and impeccable trills. She did not compromise the passagework, as many do, by glossing over scurrying runs, but sang almost every note fully. Her abilities led Richard Bonynge, the Sydney-born conductor and vocal coach whom she married in 1954, to persuade her early on to explore the early-19th-century Italian opera of the bel canto school. She became a major force in its revitalization. Advertisement Continue reading the main story Bel canto (which translates as “beautiful song” or “beautiful singing”) denotes an approach to singing exemplified by evenness through the range and great agility. The term also refers to the early-19th-century Italian operas steeped in bel canto style. Outside of Italy, the repertory had languished for decades when Maria Callas appeared in the early 1950s and demonstrated that operas like “Lucia di Lammermoor” and Bellini’s “Norma” were not just showcases for coloratura virtuosity but musically elegant and dramatically gripping works as well. Even as a young man, Mr. Bonynge had uncommon knowledge of bel canto repertory and style. Ms. Sutherland and Mr. Bonynge, who is four years younger than she, met in Sydney at a youth concert and became casual friends. They were reacquainted later in London, where Ms. Sutherland settled with her mother in 1951 to attend the Royal College of Music. There Mr. Bonynge became the major influence on her development. Ms. Sutherland used to say she thought of herself and her husband as a duo and that she didn’t talk of her career, “but of ours.” In a 1961 profile in The New York Times Magazine she said she initially had “a big rather wild voice” that was not heavy enough for Wagner, although she did not realize this until she heard “Wagner sung as it should be.” “Richard had decided — long before I agreed with him — that I was a coloratura,” she said. “We fought like cats and dogs over it,” she said, adding, “It took Richard three years to convince me.” In her repertory choices Ms. Sutherland ranged widely during the 1950s, singing lighter lyric Mozart roles like the Countess in “Le Nozze di Figaro” and heavier Verdi roles like Amelia in “Un Ballo in Maschera.” Even then, astute listeners realized that she was en route to becoming something extraordinary. In a glowing and perceptive review of her performance as Desdemona in Verdi’s “Otello” at Covent Garden in London in late 1957, the critic Andrew Porter, writing in The Financial Times, commended her for not “sacrificing purity to power.” This is “not her way,” M

The older Tom remembers his youth and then becomes a younger Tom who participates in the action as scenes from his youth play out. The point of view of the older Tom is reflective, and he warns us that his memory distorts the past. The younger Tom is impulsive and angry. The action sometimes consists of events that Tom does not witness; at these points, the play goes beyond simply describing events from Tom’s own memory. tone  · Tragic; sarcastic; bleak tense  · The play uses both the present and past tenses. The older Tom speaks in the past tense about his recollections, and the younger Tom takes part in a play that occurs in the present tense. setting (time)  · Tom, from an indefinite point in the future, remembers the winter and spring of 1937. setting (place) · An apartment in St. Louis protagonist  · Tom Wingfield major conflict  · In their own ways, each of the Wingfields struggles against the hopelessness that threatens their lives.

Amanda’s disappointment at the fading of her glory motivates her attempts to make her daughter, Laura, more popular and social. Laura’s extreme fear of seeing Jim O’Connor reveals her underlying concern about her physical appearance and about her inability to integrate herself successfully into society. rising action  · After Laura admits to leaving a business course that would have allowed her to get a job, her mother, Amanda, decides that Laura must get married; Tom tells Amanda that he is going to bring Jim O’Connor to dinner; Amanda prepares extensively, hoping that Jim will become Laura’s suitor. climax  · Each character’s struggle comes to a climax at different points.

When Jim breaks the horn from Laura’s glass unicorn and announces that he is engaged, the possibility that he will help her overcome her self-doubt and shyness is also destroyed. When Amanda discovers that Jim is engaged, she loses her hope that Laura will attain the popularity and social standing that Amanda herself has lost. falling action  · Laura gives Jim the broken unicorn as a souvenir; Jim leaves the house to pick up his girlfriend; Amanda accuses Tom of not having revealed that Jim was engaged. Addressing the audience, Tom explains that not long after that incident he left his family but was never able to emotionally leave Laura behind—in his later travels, he frequently felt a connection to her. themes  · The difficulty of accepting reality; the impossibility of true escape; the unrelenting power of memory motifs · Abandonment; the words and images on the screen; music symbols  · Laura’s glass menagerie; the glass unicorn; “Blue Roses”; the fire escape foreshadowing  · Tom’s departure is foreshadowed by his frequent retreats to the fire escape and the image of a sailing vessel on the screen; the music from the Paradise Dance Hall across the street foreshadows Laura and Jim’s dancing; Jim’s breaking of the unicorn foreshadows his breaking of her heart.


In which American State was the first atomic bomb detonated?

A Science Odyssey: People and Discoveries: The first atomic bomb is detonated The first atomic bomb is detonated 1945 Photo: Atomic bomb test explosion in Alamagordo, New Mexico, July 16, 1945. AP/Wide World Photos In 1932, James Chadwick discovered the neutron , a small atomic particle with mass but no charge. This turned out to be an extremely useful tool for bombarding atomic nuclei. Two years later, Enrico Fermi bombarded uranium with neutrons, hoping that it would cause the uranium to emit a beta particle and become a new, artificial element above uranium in the periodic table. It seemed he had done this and in the process showed that slow-moving neutrons were more effective than high-energy neutrons for the task. Fermi won the Nobel Prize for his work in 1938. He was a committed antifascist and when he and his wife left Italy for the Nobel ceremony, it was for good. They settled in the United States. Meanwhile, Fermi's work had produced some puzzling results and physicists Otto Hahn, Fritz Strassmann, and Lise Meitner took it up in Germany. They began to suspect that Fermi hadn't created a new element at all but might have actually split the uranium atom in two -- at that point a barely imaginable event. Before they could confirm this, Meitner -- who was an Austrian of Jewish descent -- had to flee the country when Germany annexed Austria in 1938. With the help of Niels Bohr , she got a position in Stockholm. From there, Meitner and her nephew Otto Frisch proved that the uranium atom had been split. Hahn published the results in January 1939 and Meitner and Frisch published the explanation a month later, introducing the term "nuclear fission." Using Bohr's liquid drop model of the nucleus, they suggested that when split, both halves of the atom would have a positive charge and would repel each other with powerful force. The German government took little notice of the finding at first. But others felt the implications were immediately clear. Niels Bohr brought news of Meitner's discovery to the United States in 1939. Several scientists, realizing that fission could be used to build a devastating weapon, wrote to President Roosevelt to inform him. He immediately set up a committee to research the matter. (Back in Germany, Hahn refused to do weapons research. He had worked on chemicals used as weapons in World War I. His advisers assured him it would bring a speedier end to the war, but he was horrified when he saw Russian soldiers who'd been gassed.) By the end of 1941, British studies had outlined the materials requirements for an atomic bomb and uranium research was going on at about 12 American universities. In 1942 Fermi's team at the University of Chicago created a sustained chain reaction of fission for the first time. Also during 1942, the Manhattan District of the Corps of Engineers was formed to construct three secret "cities" for major portions of atomic bomb development. At Oak Ridge, Tennessee, a nuclear reactor and plant for separating uranium 235 from natural uranium was built. In Hanford, Washington, three reactors were built to extract plutonium (another element with atoms that could be split) from a non-fissionable type of uranium. Finally a lab for the design and construction of the bomb was built at Los Alamos, New Mexico. The cost of these Manhattan Project installations was $2 billion. J. Robert Oppenheimer was made director of the Los Alamos lab, and in 1943 he gathered about 200 of the best scientists in the field to live and work there. They designed two bombs, one using uranium (called "Little Boy") and one using plutonium ("Fat Man"). By early 1945, the plants at Oak Ridge and Hanford had produced enough raw material for testing. On July 13, 1945, at a site called Trinity 100 km northwest of Alamogordo, a plutonium bomb was assembled and brought to the top of a tower. The test was postponed by thunderstorms. On July 16, the bomb was detonated, producing an intense flash of light seen by observers in bunkers 10 km away and a fireball that expanded to 600 meters in two seconds. It grew to a


Who was the English monarch from 1399 to 1413?

Timeline of the Kings & Queens of England There have been 66 monarchs of England and Britain spread over a period of 1500 years.   SAXON KINGS EGBERT 827 - 839 Egbert (Ecgherht) was the first monarch to establish a stable and extensive rule over all of Anglo-Saxon England. After returning from exile at the court of Charlemagne in 802, he regained his kingdom of Wessex. Following his conquest of Mercia in 827, he controlled all of England south of the Humber. After further victories in Northumberland and North Wales, he is recognised by the title Bretwalda ( Anglo-Saxon , "ruler of the British". A year before he died aged almost 70, he defeated a combined force of Danes and Cornish at Hingston Down in Cornwall. He is buried at Winchester in Hampshire. AETHELWULF 839-856 King of Wessex , son of Egbert and father of Alfred the Great. In 851 Aethelwulf defeated a Danish army at the battle of Oakley while his eldest son Althelstan fought and beat the Danes at sea off the coast of Kent , in what is believed to be the first naval battle. A highly religous man, Athelwulf travelled to Rome with his son Alfred to see the Pope in 855. AETHELBALD 856 - 860 The eldest son of Aethelwulf, Æthelbald was born around 834. He was crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames in southwest London, after forcing his father to abdicate upon his return from pilgrimage to Rome. Following his fathers death in 858, he married his widowed stepmother Judith, but under pressure from the church the marriage was annulled after only a year. He is buried at Sherbourne Abbey in Dorset . AETHELBERT 860 - 866 Became king following the death of his brother Æthelbald. Like his brother and his father, Aethelbert (pictured to the right) was crowned at Kingston-Upon-Thames. Shortly after his succession a Danish army landed and sacked Winchester before being defeated by the Saxons. In 865 the Viking Great Heathen Army landed in East Anglia and swept across England. He is buried at Sherborne Abbey. AETHELRED I 866 - 871 Aethelred succeeded his brother Aethelbert. His reign was one long struggle with the Danes who had occupied York in 866, establishing the Viking kingdom of Yorvik . When the Danish Army moved south Wessex itself was threatened, and so together with his brother Alfred, they fought several battles with the Vikings at Reading, Ashdown and Basing. Aethelred suffered serious injuries during the next major battle at Meretun in Hampshire; he died of his wounds shortly after at Witchampton in Dorset, where he was buried. ALFRED THE GREAT 871 - 899 - son of AETHELWULF Born at Wantage in Berkshire around 849, Alfred was well educated and is said to have visited Rome on two occasions. He had proven himself to be a strong leader in many battles, and as a wise ruler managed to secure five uneasy years of peace with the Danes, before they attacked Wessex again in 877. Alfred was forced to retreat to a small island in the Somerset Levels and it was from here that he masterminded his comeback, perhaps ' burning the cakes ' as a consequence. With major victories at Edington, Rochester and London, Alfred established Saxon Christian rule over first Wessex, and then on to most of England. To secure his hard won boundaries Alfred founded a permanent army and an embryonic Royal Navy. To secure his place in history, he began the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles. EDWARD (The Elder) 899 - 924 Succeeded his father Alfred the Great. Edward retook southeast England and the Midlands from the Danes. Following the the death of his sister Aethelflaed of Mercia , Edward unites the kingdoms of Wessex and Mercia. In 923, the Anglo-Saxon Chronicles record that the Scottish King Constantine II recognises Edward as "father and lord". The following year, Edward is killed in a battle against the Welsh near Chester . His body is returned to Winchester for burial. ATHELSTAN 924 - 939 Son of Edward the Elder, Athelstan extended the boundaries of his kingdom at the Battle of Brunanburh in 937. In what is said to be one of the bloodiest battles ever fought on British soil, Athelstan defeated a combined army of Scots


Bruce Dickinson: Iron Maiden front man is battling cancer | The Independent Bruce Dickinson: Iron Maiden front man is battling cancer The 56-year-old singer has undergone chemotherapy for a cancerous lump found at the back of his tongue Thursday 19 February 2015 13:10 BST Click to follow Bruce Dickinson, Iron Maiden’s frontman, rocks the crowd Darko Tomas/Rex Bruce Dickinson of English heavy-metal band Iron Maiden is undergoing treatment for cancer. The band announced in a statement today that front man Dickinson, 56, has a tumour at the back of his tongue. It was discovered during a routine check-up and it is expected that Dickinson will make a recovery by the end of May. The band is due to go on a tour of Europe from 27 May, but the band have urged fans to be patient.   Hundreds of upset Iron Maiden fans took to Twitter to wish him well. Dickinson is known and loved for his on-stage charisma and his wide vocal range. Last year he said he'd boycotted Glastonbury for being too bourgeois. “Personally I have no interest in going to Glastonbury,” he said. “In the days when Glasto was an alternative festival it was quite interesting, but anywhere Gwyneth Paltrow goes and you can live in an air-conditioned yurt is not for me.” Read the full statement below: "Just before Christmas, Maiden vocalist Bruce Dickinson visited his doctor for a routine check-up. This led to tests and biopsies which revealed a small cancerous tumour at the back of his tongue. A seven week course of chemotherapy and radiology treatment was completed yesterday. "As the tumour was caught in the early stages, the prognosis thankfully is extremely good. Bruce’s medical team fully expect him to make a complete recovery with the all clear envisaged by late May. It will then take a further few months for Bruce to get back to full fitness. "In the meantime we would ask for your patience, understanding and respect for Bruce and his family’s privacy until we update everyone by the end of May. Bruce is doing very well considering the circumstances and the whole team are very positive."


Who won the first international Rugby Union Match in 1871?

First International Rugby Match First International Rugby Match The First International Rugby Match Scotland vs England, Raeburn Place, 1871 On 8 December 1870 a letter appeared in the pages of The Scotsman and Bell's Life, a London magazine, inviting footballers from England to participate in a match played under the Rugby Rules. The challenge followed an “International” played under the Association rules in March at the Oval in London. This match had been played between an English side and a group of Exiles, many of whose connection with Scotland was tenuous to say the least. A second attempted match in November, where a representative side from Scotland was this time sought, was widely ignored as Association Football had still to establish the strong hold over Scottish society that we take for granted today. At the time there were only four clubs in Scotland playing the Association rules: Queens Park, Thistle, Hamilton and Airdrie. The majority of football clubs played by the Rugby code and there was a sense of grievance felt that Scotland would be at a disadvantage playing by a set of rules with which these clubs were unfamiliar. It was against this background that the representatives of West of Scotland FC, Edinburgh Academicals FC, Merchistonian FC, Glasgow Academicals FC and St Salvator FC (St Andrews) offered the match: "…with a view of really testing what Scotland can do against an English team we, as representing the football interests of, hereby challenge any team selected from the whole of England, to play us a match, twenty-a-side, Rugby rules, either in Edinburgh or Glasgow..." This challenge openly laid was ignored by the Football Association but the gauntlet was picked up, appropriately enough, by Blackheath, one of London's oldest clubs. Only seven years earlier Blackheath had led a walk-out from the inaugural meeting of the Football Association. There had been a disagreement over the rules to be adopted. Surprisingly not over the issue of handling the ball, but over the issue of hacking. The challenge accepted, the English started to organise the selection of the 20 players who would be the first to wear the famous red rose. North of the Border a date was set, Monday 27 March 1871, and preparations were made. The match was to be played in Edinburgh and the Academical Cricket Club was approached to lease the ground. Raeburn Place was given it's role as the scene of the first ever International match. The Scots' committee decided to play a couple of trial matches in Edinburgh and Glasgow in order to select a side truly representative of Scotland. The match had caught the mood of the country. Whilst both codes of football were still very much the preserve of the middle-classes, there was developing sporting fever in mid-Victorian Britain. Prior to the match, advice was being issued to the side through the letters page of The Scotsman and the match was eagerly anticipated. On the day of the match an advertisement appeared in the The Scotsman indicating the time and the place and an entrance fee of one shilling. 4,000 people paid to go through the gate at Raeburn Place raising a sum in excess of £200, a considerable sum for the time. The match was to be played over two 50 minute halves. In the end the match was won, narrowly, by Scotland with a goal and a try to a solitary try by England. The methods of scoring were very different than that seen today. The try, which is now accorded 5 points and is very much seen as the principle means of scoring, was then not considered worthy of anything. The try provided an opportunity to kick at the posts, a try at goal, the ball going over the post was the score and was a goal, what we now call the conversion. There were no penalty goals, as it was accepted that gentlemen would not cheat. The first try in international rugby was scored by Angus Buchanan, this was duly converted by William Cross, which provided the first full score and ultimately the win. The match did not go on without some heated disputes. The rules throughout Britain still varied and it was common for

Tour de force performance by Marvin makes this a hit!, 20 February 2000 Author: Dan Franzen (dfranzen70) from United States Jane Fonda plays Cat Ballou, back in the days when she was not only acting but also accepting sexy kittenish roles, a rancher's daughter out to avenge the murder of said rancher by the bad guys who run the town. Yep, it's a sex Western, one that gives us the one-of-a-kind performances of Fonda and of Lee Marvin, who has two roles - an alcoholic gunslinger who's supposed to be Cat's saving and a mean, dastardly hit man with a prosthetic nose - and who won himself an Oscar for his delightful work. But it's not just the lighthearted performances of the actors that floats this film, it's also the riveting, uproarious script. The pace is never dull - there are some Westerns that'll slow things down to kind of add mood to a story, but not this one. This would make a nice double-bill with another of Fonda's sexy early roles, "Barbarella." Was the above review useful to you?

Who was the green skinned Egyptian God of the underworld and afterlife?

Osiris, Egyptian god of the underworld and of vegetation INVOCATION OF OSIRIS In addition to native variations by locality or over time, there are often several possible transliterations into the Roman alphabet used for English.) English name: Green Man (the term �Green Man� refers to a class of deities from many different traditions, of which Asar is a Tameran example  Asar was commonly depicted as a green man) THE MYSTERY OF OSIRIS Osiris plays a key role and is a central figure in the ancient Egyptian mysteries and in the Order Of The Morning Star. It was Osiris who was the beloved pharaoh of Egypt. It was Osiris who taught the people of the land of Egypt about farming. Osiris was and is one of the first "Green Men", in that he was also the god of vegetation. When Osiris became ruler over the land of Egypt, the people were engaged in the practice of cannibalism. Osiris helped them to evolve beyond cannibalism and to learn farming skills. Osiris is the husband of Isis. In that after thousands of years all female goddesses became merged as an aspect of Isis, she too is central to Egyptian symbolism. Most scholars know of the tragic story of the death of Osiris. He was murdered by his evil brother Set. Set is equated with Typhon-Apophis of the Greeks. Set is the destructive aspect that the alchemical principal must undergo, and thus be reborn into a new and purified creation. (Satan is based on the personage of Set) That is exactly what happened to Osiris. His death or as the alchemist would say his putrefaction was carefully evolved through the power of Isis under the magical direction of Thoth. Essentially, a formula was being created in the mythos. It is the alchemical formula of I.A.O., Isis, Apophis, Osiris, Birth, Death, resurrection. To the Adept this is a powerful process of transformation that unlocks the keys of magical power and of immortality. For as Osiris died, through the power of Birth (Isis) under the authority and skill of Thoth (The Higher Genius) Osiris arose on the physical plane as the great avenging god Horus, his son. On the spiritual plane Osiris became the great god of the underworld. Like Christ he became the god that the Egyptians needed to become in order to be saved. What this means is that unless the initiate allows for the complete transformation of the self under the direct guidance of the Higher, no true and lasting power can be obtained. Osiris is the reconciler with the Lower Selfhood in which no birth or death is necessary. We can refer to it as "The Bornless One." To the Egyptians one must become Osiris. In that no one can or could deliver the forty-two negative confessions in the hall of truth, because no one is perfect in earthly life. By identification with Osiris the candidate who stands in the Hall of Truth can indeed deliver the negative confession. The reason is clear, it is not him, but him in Osiris that is delivering the negative confession. The candidate in the Hall of Truth is redeemed by his unification with Osiris.This unification in the Morning Star system takes place in the grade of 5=6, Adeptus Minor. Of the details I can speak no more. In the Hall of the Neophyte it is the Hierophant who sits in the Osirisian position on the path of Samekh outside of Tiphareth. Osiris is the one in the Hall of the Neophyte who confirms the initiation on the new candidate. This is done after the candidate has taken the oath and is placed in the northwest part of the hall. "I am the only being in an abyss of Darkness. From an abyss of Darkness came I forth ere my birth, from the silence of a primal sleep. And the voice of ages said unto my soul, 'I am he who formulates in Darkness, the Light that shineth in the Darkness, yet the Darkness comprehendeth it not.' Let the mystical circumambulation take place onto the Path of Darkness that leadeth unto Light with the Lamp of Hidden Knowledge to guide the way." Asar [Osiris]: God of life and death. Husband and brother of Aset, brother of Set, Nebt Het, and Heru the Elder, son of Nut and Geb, and father of the twins, Bast and Heru, lover of
