Find out what's happening in the world as it unfolds. JUST WATCHED Harper Lee to publish second book 01:28 Story highlights Harper Lee's new novel is "Go Set a Watchman" The book will be her first since 1960's "To Kill a Mockingbird" (CNN) Fifty-five years after "To Kill a Mockingbird," Harper Lee is publishing a second book, her publisher said Tuesday. "Go Set a Watchman," which Lee completed in the 1950s and then set aside in favor of "Mockingbird," will be published July 14. It follows Scout, the little girl of "Mockingbird," as an adult. The manuscript was rediscovered last year, Lee, 88, said in a statement from her publisher, Harper. "In the mid-1950s, I completed a novel called 'Go Set a Watchman,' " she said. "It features the character known as Scout as an adult woman, and I thought it a pretty decent effort. My editor, who was taken by the flashbacks to Scout's childhood, persuaded me to write a novel (what became 'To Kill a Mockingbird') from the point of view of the young Scout. "I was a first-time writer, so I did as I was told. I hadn't realized it (the original book) had survived, so was surprised and delighted when my dear friend and lawyer Tonja Carter discovered it. After much thought and hesitation, I shared it with a handful of people I trust and was pleased to hear that they considered it worthy of publication. I am humbled and amazed that this will now be published after all these years." Read More "Watchman" is set in the 1950s and is about Scout -- Jean Louise Finch -- returning to her hometown of Maycomb, Alabama (a fictional version of Lee's hometown of Monroeville), to see her father, the upright lawyer Atticus Finch. "She is forced to grapple with issues both personal and political as she tries to understand her father's attitude toward society, and her own feelings about the place where she was born and spent her childhood," the press release said.

Hide Caption 10 of 10 "To Kill a Mockingbird," which Lee wrote after she moved to New York, made her name. The book, published in 1960, won the Pulitzer Prize and was made into a beloved 1962 film. Gregory Peck won the Oscar for best actor for his portrayal of Atticus Finch. It's a mainstay of high school reading lists and, as of 2006, had sold more than 30 million copies. Lee, who returned to Monroeville several years ago, remembers being caught off-guard by its overwhelming success. "I can't say that (my reaction) was one of surprise. It was one of sheer numbness. It was like being hit over the head and knocked cold," she said in 1964. Until now, it had been her only published novel. Jonathan Burnham, Harper's senior vice president and publisher, called "Go Set a Watchman" "a remarkable literary event." "The existence of 'Go Set a Watchman' was unknown until recently, and its discovery is an extraordinary gift to the many readers and fans of 'To Kill a Mockingbird,' " he said in the statement. "Reading in many ways like a sequel to Harper Lee's classic novel, it is a compelling and ultimately moving narrative about a father and a daughter's relationship, and the life of a small Alabama town living through the racial tensions of the 1950s." Sandy Smith at Monroeville's chamber of commerce said news of the book was "great news." "Our main street director told me and she had heard it from the book store. It's definitely great news," she told CNN. "Everyone has always speculated


Under what name does Cherilyn Sarkisian LaPierre act and sing?

With more ups and downs than the 2008 Dow Jones Industrial Average, Cher managed to rise like a phoenix from the ashes each time she was down and counted out, somehow re-inventing herself with every changing decade and finding herself on top all over again. As a singer Cher is the only performer to have earned "top 10" hit singles in four consecutive decades; as an actress, she and Barbra Streisand are the only two Best Actress Oscar winners to have a #1 hit song on the Billboard charts. At age 62, Cher has yet to decide to get completely off her fabulous roller coaster ride, although she has threatened to on occasion. The daughter of a truck driver, John Sarkisian, and an Arkansas-born mother, Georgia Holt (the former Jackie Jean Crouch), Cher was born in El Centro, California, on May 20, 1946. She has a sister, Georganne LaPiere . Cher is of Armenian heritage on her father's side, and of English and German, with more distant Irish, Dutch, and French, heritage on her mother's side. The father deserted the family when Cher was young, and she was raised by their mother who later married Gilbert LaPiere, a banker. Cher's mother, who had aspirations of being an actress and model herself, paid for Cher's acting classes despite her daughter having undiagnosed dyslexia, which acutely affected her studies. Frustrated, Cher quit Fresno High School at the age of 16 in search of her dream. At that time, she had a brief relationship with actor Warren Beatty . Meeting the quite older (by 11 years) Sonny Bono in 1962 changed the 16-year-old's life forever. Bono was working for record producer Phil Spector at Gold Star Studios in Hollywood at the time and managed to persuade Spector to hire Cher as a session singer. As such, she went on to record backup on such Spector classics as "You've Lost That Lovin' Feeling" and "Be My Baby". The couple's relationship eventually shifted from soul mates to lovers and she and Sonny married on October 27, 1964. At first Cher sang solo with Sonny behind the scenes writing, arranging and producing her songs. The records went nowhere. Sonny then decided they needed to perform as a team so they put out two songs in 1964 under the recording names of Caesar and Cleo ("The Letter" and "Baby Don't Go"). Again, no success. The changing of their names, however, seemed to make a difference and in 1965, they officially took on the music world as Sonny & Cher and earned instant rewards. The now 19-year-old Cher and 30-year-old Sonny became huge hits following the release of their first album, "Look at Us" (summer, 1965), which contained the hit single "I Got You Babe". With the song catapulting to #1, they decided to re-release their earlier single "Baby Don't Go", and it also raced up the charts to #8. An assembly line of mild hits dotted the airwaves over the next year or two, culminating in the huge smash hit "The Beat Goes On" (#6, 1967). Between 1965 and 1972 Sonny & Cher charted a total of six "Top 10" hits. The kooky couple became icons of the late '60s "flower power" scene, wearing garish garb and outlandish hairdos and makeup. However, they found a way to make it trendy and were embraced around the world. TV musical variety and teen pop showcases relished their contrasting styles -- the short, excitable, mustachioed, nasal-toned simpleton and the taller, exotic, unflappable fashion maven. They found a successful formula with their repartee, which became a central factor in their live concert shows, even more than their singing. With all this going on, Sonny still endeavored to promote Cher as a solo succes

In a 1997 WBA Heavyweight Championship Mike Tyson was disqualified for biting the ear of which opponent?

Boxing in 1997 | Britannica.com Boxing in 1997 Originally published in the Britannica Book of the Year. Presented as archival content. Britannica Stories Scientists Ponder Menopause in Killer Whales The reputation of boxing’s heavyweight division sank to an all-time low in 1997 with the disqualification of former undisputed world champion Mike Tyson for biting the ears of Evander Holyfield (see BIOGRAPHIES) during a World Boxing Association (WBA) heavyweight title bout in Las Vegas, Nev., on June 28. Tyson received a warning from referee Mills Lane after biting a chunk out of Holyfield’s right ear in the third round. When the fight resumed, Tyson sank his teeth into Holyfield’s other ear, and Lane was forced to disqualify him. Declaring Tyson a "discredit to boxing," the Nevada State Athletic Commission suspended him for at least one year and fined him 10% of his $30 million purse, the maximum penalty permitted under existing rules. Subsequently, however, the commission gave itself the power to confiscate the entire purse of a boxer who commits a serious offense. Apart from the Tyson horror show, several contests for other versions of the heavyweight crown only tarnished the division further. A fight for the vacant World Boxing Council (WBC) title ended in a farce as Lennox Lewis avenged a knockout loss to Oliver McCall (U.S.). McCall, who had been in and out of drug rehabilitation programs in the months prior to the rematch, showed a complete reluctance to throw punches and sometimes turned his back on his opponent. After five frustrating rounds the referee stopped the bout, disqualifying McCall for refusing to defend himself. In another dreary exhibition early in the year, Henry Akinwande (Eng.) retained the World Boxing Organization (WBO) crown by defeating reluctant challenger Scott Welch (Eng.). In July Akinwande relinquished the WBO title to challenge Lewis for what was considered the more prestigious WBC championship. During the bout, which was held in South Lake Tahoe, Nev., and also refereed by Lane, Akinwande did little more than force clinches with Lewis. In the fifth round Lane disqualified Akinwande for "blatant and persistent holding." Connect with Britannica Facebook Twitter YouTube Instagram Pinterest An International Boxing Federation (IBF) title match between champion Michael Moorer and challenger Vaughan Bean (U.S.) provided no great boost to the unhappy heavyweight situation as Moorer outpointed Bean over 12 lacklustre rounds. Fortunately, some excitement came late in the year in two separate fights involving Lewis and Holyfield. In a bout held in Atlantic City, N.J., in October, Lewis raised his standing in the eyes of many boxing enthusiasts by destroying Polish-born challenger Andrew Golota (U.S.) in only 95 seconds to retain the WBC crown. Golota, whose penchant for throwing low blows had cost him two disqualification losses to former champion Riddick Bowe (U.S.), suffered a seizure in his dressing room after the fight, and at year’s end his future in boxing seemed uncertain. In November Holyfield restored some pride to the heavyweight division in an impressive performance against Moorer, knocking Moorer to the canvas five times before the referee, on advice from the ringside physician, stopped the fight in the eighth round. Holyfield was declared the winner by technical knockout and added Moorer’s IBF championship belt to the WBA belt he already held. Named Fighter of the Year by the Boxing Writers Association of America, Holyfield hoped to face Lewis in a unification match in 1998. The 48-year-old former heavyweight champion George Foreman made news in November as well, in part because of the respectable performance he put in against Shannon Briggs, who was nearly half his age, and in part because of his announcement--for the second time--of his retirement from the ring. Foreman lost the controversial majority-decision fight to Briggs in Atlantic City, N.J.; the crowd was clearly convinced that Foreman, at 118 kg (260 lb), should have won, but two of the judges scored the match for Briggs and th

Where to spectate ? Well they say there are over two      hundred bends so it becomes very much a matter of personal choice and must be      governed by transport or the lack of it. But remember that just as interesting      as the races themselves are the weigh-in procedures that take place the day      before each race in the grandstand area on the Glencrutchery Road. The term      weigh-in , by the way, is a throwback from the early days of racing when the      machines actually were weighed. There you can see your favorite rider fairly      closely and maybe get and autograph or two. A very different proposition from      race day when, within a mile of the start, he will be hurtling down Bray Hill      at over one hundred miles an hour. So if you like sheer speed then go to the      bottom of Bray Hill where the bikes are doing about a hundred and thirty as      they aim between the curb and drain cover if on the proper racing line. Then comes the slow right-hander at      the Quarter Bridge, always crowded and very popular, which in turn is followed      after a short straight by Braddan Bridge where the left and right sweeps over      the bridge give one of the best opportunities to study riding styles. Then on and out through Union Mills      and Crosby until just after five miles the Highlander is reached, a flat-out      section now very smooth where a 250 Yamaha has been timed at over 140 mph. At      Ballacraine the course turns right and enters the difficult Laurel Bank and      Glen Helen sections, also difficult from the spectating point of view, then      climbs up Creg Willey's hill onto the Cronk y Voddee straight, on past the      eleventh milestone, Handley's Cottage, and then to one of the most exciting      points the circuit has to offer-Baaregarroo. At the bottom of the hill is a      flat-out left-hander and from here, if you have your own transport, it is      possible to drive to the 32nd milestone up on the mountain while the race is      on. From Baaregarroo the course goes on      to Kirkmichael until at the seventeenth mile point Ballaugh Bridge is reached.      An excellent point to watch and 1965 may be the last time that the riders leave      the ground as they take the humped-back bridge, for the Highway authority wants      to flatten the bridge. Three miles later comes two of the best spectating      points less than half a mile apart, Sulby Bridge and Ginger Hall, the later      offering particularly good opportunity to the budding photographer. So      to Ramsey with its crowded square and famous hairpin leading up to Waterworks      corner. Then the long climb up the mountains with the Gooseneck offering a      fabulous view back over Ramsey Bay and a nasty, slow right-hander that finished      Phil Read's senior ride in 1961 when he dropped it there when lying fourth,      having won the junior race earlier in the week. The mountain section is over nine      miles long and ends in spectacular fashion with the plunge down from Kates      Cottage to Creg ny Baa. A good spot this, for plenty of coaches go there from      Douglas and it is possible to walk up to the Keppel Gate and see a bit of the      mountain section. The one mile stretch from


Which English Football League club play their home games at Highbury Stadium?

Fleetwood Town FC | Highbury Stadium | Football Ground Guide Football Ground Guide Address: Park Avenue, Fleetwood, FY7 6TX Telephone: 01253 775080 Pitch Size: 112 x 74 yards Club Nickname: Cod Army Shirt Sponsors: BES Commercial Gas Kit Manufacturer: Puma Home Kit: Red and White Away Kit: Sky and Navy Blue Parkside Stand Looking Towards The Percy Ronson Terrace Highbury Stand WHAT IS THE HIGHBURY STADIUM LIKE? The stadium is modern having been completely re-built over the last five years, matching the teams' meteoric rise up the leagues with five promotions in seven seasons. The latest addition to the ground is the very impressive looking Parkside Stand which was first opened to spectators in March 2011. This 2,000 capacity all seated stand was a built at a cost of around £4m. It has a single tier of seating, whilst above are offices and a top row of executive boxes and hospitality area, all of which have a small tier of seating outside. These are covered by a semi circular roof, with large glassed areas to either side which allow light to get to the pitch. At the front of this stand are the team dugouts.  Opposite is the Highbury Stand, which is a small all-seated covered stand, which was opened in 2008. It is only six rows high, has a capacity of 550 and runs for only half the length of the pitch, meaning that there is a large open area next to it, although this area does feature some buildings. On the roof of the Highbury Stand is a small television gantry. For the 'eagle eyed' then directly behind it you can see a small roof which is the roof the old Main Stand which is still in existence having had the new stand built in front of it. It just shows how much the stadium has come on, when you consider that at one time there was this stand and not much else at the ground. Both ends are covered terraces, which are similar in size in terms of height. The Percy Ronson Terrace which is given to away supporters, runs for around 2/3rds of the width of the pitch. Whilst the home end, the Memorial Stand (named in memory of the service and trawlermen who have previously lost their lives from the port of Fleetwood) is larger extending the full width of the pitch and housing just under 1,500 supporters. In one corner of the stadium beside the Percy Ronson Terrace (on the Highbury Stand side) is a large video screen. The stadium is completed with a set of modern floodlights. WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR AWAY SUPPORTERS? Away fans are mostly housed in the Percy Ronson terrace at one end of the stadium, where 831 fans can be accommodated. This terrace which was opened in 2007, is covered, free from supporting pillars and affords a good view of the playing action. The Club have recently improved the facilities in this area with a new snack bar and toliet block. The terrace capacity also includes an open flat standing area on the Highbury Stand side. The official capacities are 621 for the Percy Ronson Terrace and 210 for the Highbury side standing area. There is an away fans ticket office and programme booth situated outside the visiting supporters entrance. Visiting supporters are also allocated 300 seats in the Parkside Stand and this can be increased if required. The facilities in this stand are far better than the terrace with alcoholic drinks available to purchase and there are large screens on the concourse showing Sky Sports. For teams with a smaller following then only the Parkside seats will be made available and not the Percy Ronson Terrace.   PUBS FOR AWAY FANS There is Jim's Sports Bar at the ground, which normally admits away fans. The facilities in this bar are excellent, but get there early as it is bound to be very popular on matchdays. It is located at the back of the Memorial Stand and can be accessed from the park pathway that runs along that side of the ground. It is open from 12 noon on Saturdays and 5pm on matchday evenings and shows BT and Sky Sports on a large number of televisions. The Highbury Club which is located adjacent to the away turnstiles does not allow in visiting supporters.  Martin Crimp a visiting Southpo

I used to think that I'd get married by my mid-thirties and have children'  What he likes: He once revealed he's a fan of women who don't take themselves too seriously. 'A woman who knows that she doesn’t have to get all decked out to look good is sexy' The Sunday Mirror reports that when asked about her daughter's relationship with the Star Trek actor, Sophie's mum Anna cryptically told the paper: 'Watch this space. You never know.’ Marriage is clearly very important to the heart throb and last year he told Elle Japan :  'It's a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father. I used to think that I'd get married by my mid-thirties and have children. 'But now I think I can wait. I'm no longer in a hurry to get married.'

She said: 'One of his regrets is that he hasn’t found someone to settle down with. You would have to be a pretty smart cookie to keep up with him. I think that is possibly why he has tro


Which mountain range extends through Morocco, Tunisia and Algeria, with its highest peak at Mount Jebel Toubkal?

Mountains in Algeria | By Algeria Channel City finder Climb or Hike the Majestic Mountains of Algeria From the Mediterranean coast the landscape peaks in the Atlas Mountains before it stretches across the Sahara Desert . With such varied topography, Algeria's landscape is diverse and fascinating. Algeria's mountain ranges cover large portions of the land. Some of Algeria's mountains form part of the great Atlas Mountain Range whilst others are located only within the country's borders. The Atlas Mountains The Atlas Mountain Range extends some 2400km/1500 miles across Tunisia, Algeria and Morocco. It creates a border between the Mediterranean and the Sahara desert and is home to remote Arab villages in Algeria. This impressive mountain range is made up of the following sections: Middle Atlas, Anti-Atlas, High Atlas, Tell Atlas and Saharan Atlas . The latter two ranges are located in Algeria. The Saharan Atlas This Algerian Mountain Range makes up the eastern section of the Atlas Mountains. Djebel Aissa is the tallest peak in the Saharan Atlas, reaching 2236 meters in height. Smaller ranges that make up the Saharan Atlas include Ouled-Nael, Amour and Ksour. The Saharan Atlas later meets up with the Tell Atlas, forming the T'bessa and Medjerda ranges. Wadis, such as the Touil, run down from the Saharan Atlas. Wadis are riverbeds that only flow in wet seasons. Chaoui Berbers are the chief residents of this mountain range and they live mainly where the landscape makes agriculture possible. The Tell Atlas Measuring some 1500km in length, the Tell Atlas Mountain Range makes its way through Morocco, across Algeria and into Tunisia. The Tell Atlas runs parallel to the Saharan Atlas until it meets in the eastern side of Algeria. Many of Algeria's important cities are located along the Tell Atlas; this includes the capital of Algiers and Oran . The Chelif River runs from the Tell Atlas into the Mediterranean Sea and provides Algeria's inhabitants with a fertile agricultural valley. The Aures Mountains This range forms and extension of the Atlas Mountains. It is located in eastern Algeria just to the east of Algeria's Saharan Atlas. Djebel Chelia, also known as Kaltum, is the tallest peak in this range and reaches a height of 2328 m. The Aur's Mountains are very isolated and remain the home of the Shawia people. The Ahaggar Mountains (aka Hoggar) Located in the south of Algeria, the Hoggar is a highland area of the central parts of the Sahara. The geography of the region consists mostly of rocky desert. Mount Tahat is the tallest peak of the area, reaching 2918m in height. A common attraction to these Algerian mountains is Assekrem, the place where Le Pere de Foulcault resided in 1905. Due to its less extreme climate, the Hoggar is a region of great biodiversity. The Ahaggar Mountains are the abode of the Imuhagh, who are part of the Tuareg. Nearby is the tomb of Tin Hinan, ancestor and matriarch of the Tuareg people. The Ahaggar region is very popular amongst tourists, with many tour operators visiting the area. The Tassili n' Ajjer Lying in the southeast of Algeria, this Saharan mountain range stretches some 500km. The highest point in the Tassili n'Ajjer range is Adrar Afao at 2158 meters. As the mountains are chiefly composed of sandstone, many awe-inspiring natural rock arches have formed. Vegetation in the range is mostly scattered woodland. The range is also popular with tourists because of its archeological interest, which includes the brilliant examples of ancient rock art that are found here. Large portions of the range are protected as part of the Tassili n'Ajjer National park . Other Mountains and Ranges Jebel Chenoua, to the west of Algiers, is a mountain group on the coast. Located between Tipaza and Cherchell, Jebel Cheoua is home to Berber speakers. The Gueltara Mountains are in the west of Algeria. The highest point in this small range is 755m high.

Which battle cruiser was sunk by the Bismarck and Prinz Eugen on May 24, 1941?

H.M.S. Hood Association-Battle Cruiser Hood - The History of H.M.S. Hood: Part 1 of The Battle of the Denmark Strait, May 24th 1941, by Antonio Bonomi The Battle of the Denmark Strait, May 24th 1941 Written by Antonio Bonomi & translated by Phil Isaacs Updated 07-May-2014 The following article was written by Antonio Bonomi of Italy. It was originally published (in Italian) in the December 2005 edition of "Storia Militare" (N. 147 - ANNO XIII). It was subsequently translated into English by Antonio with further refinement by Phil Isaacs. We feel that although it is impossible to ever precisely determine all aspects of this battle with 100% certainty, Antonio has nonetheless done an admirable job. The result is one of the more thorough and largely accurate reconstructions of this battle. To check the facts and come up with your own opinion, be sure to check the original battle documentation after you read this article. An analysis of the famous engagement between German warships Bismarck and Prinz Eugen against British warships H.M.S.s Hood and Prince of Wales (plus Norfolk and Suffolk). Famous painting of Hood sinking, by John Hamilton I am sure that to any of us that happened to look at photos of important naval battles and tried to associate them with the chronological series of events, there are inconsistencies in the way the events are portrayed. When I examined photos of the Bismarck taken during the Battle of the Denmark Strait against the Hood and against the Prince of Wales the captions under the photos were often contradictory. One day on the Internet looking at various forums concerning this battle I even read about a theory that assumed some of the photos had always been printed in reverse (1). There seemed to be no sense to what was written. For such an important historical event why are there still so many doubts, errors and approximations. Naval history, the Kriegsmarine and military strategy are my passion, so I decided to re-construct that battle in full detail with all the supporting information from films (2), photos, prints and paint or drawings available (3). This article, consequently, is not intended to describe the whole of Operation “Rheinübung” (4), but is meant to clarify only the series of events which occurred during the Battle of the Denmark Strait on the morning of Saturday May 24, 1941.     The Approach This engagement was composed of one German formation and two British formations. The German formation included the battleship Bismarck (Captain Ernst Lindemann, with Fleet Chief Admiral Günther Lütjens on board) and the heavy cruiser Prinz Eugen (Captain Helmuth Brinkmann). The first British formation, which had been shadowing the German formation since the evening before, included the heavy cruisers Norfolk (Captain Alfred J.L. Phillips, with 1st Cruiser Squadron Commander Rear-Admiral William F. Wake-Walker on board) and Suffolk (Captain Robert M. Ellis). The second formation, which was converging on the area with the intent of engaging the enemy by surprise, guided to this by the continuous signals received from the Norfolk, included the battlecruiser Hood (Captain Ralph Kerr, with Battle Cruiser Squadron Commander and 2nd in Charge of the Home Fleet Vice Admiral Lancelot E. Holland) and the battleship Prince of Wales (Captain John C. Leach). This formation also included 6 escort destroyers (Achates, Antelope, Anthony, Echo, Electra and Icarus) which were detached the previous evening and were not present at the battle. The strategic and tactical scenarios during the early hours of May 24, 1941 were different between the Germans and the British. The Germans had been intercepted the evening before by Suffolk, at 19:22 (5) on the narrow area of the Denmark Strait between Greenland and Iceland. Suffolk had been joined almost immediately by her sister ship, Norfolk, which was patrolling the same area. The Bismarck was sailing in-line ahead, followed by the Prinz Eugen. The Bismarck reacted at once by firing at the Norfolk (5 main gun salvoes at 20:30 ) which had just emerged from a rainstorm


In the children’s animated TV series, of which ship was Captain Pugwash the captain?

Captain Pugwash - Childrens TV | Jedi's Paradise Captain Pugwash Captain Pugwash is a 50’s children’s TV show. The characters were first created by John Ryan in 1950 and appeared in the first 12 issues of the 'Eagle' comic. He was turned down by 12 publishers before Captain Pugwash was published. He also created the comic strips - 'Harris Tweed: Extra Special Agent' and 'Lettice Leefe: the Greenest Girl in School'. Also he created Sir Prancelot. In 1957 Captain Pugwash appeared on BBC television for the first time and approximately 120 episodes were produced. All the voices and narration were provided by Peter Hawkins.   John Ryan devised his own method of animation, using cut- out puppets and props with cardboard levers to make boats rock and to help the characters move their eyes, mouths and limbs (see the Puffin Annual article  for a behind the scenes insight). Contrary to popular belief, the names of Captain Pugwash's crew were not in any way smutty! Which the Guardian newspaper (UK) found out to its cost, when they published an article about the programme characters having smutty names, such as Seaman Staines and Master Bates. A lawsuit on behalf of John Ryan ensued and the paper had to print an apology and pay damages.   In 1998 a new series was commissioned called - The Adventures of Captain Pugwash. It consisted of 26 episodes at cost of £1.5 million to make. This version of Captain Pugwash was state-of-the-art and produced on computers. This time the voices were provided by James Saxon. Story Captain Pugwash was a pirate of the high seas who commanded the ship, The Black Pig. He was supported in his adventures by his able crew, Pirate Barnabas, Master Mate, Pirate Willy and Tom the Cabin Boy.  Captain Pugwash's search for the hidden treasure involved him in all sorts of terrible mishaps including the odd scrape with his arch-enemy, Cut-throat Jake, the Pirate Captain of the Flying Dustman. Captain Pugwash Characters Captain ‘Horatio’ Pugwash He is a pirate, but he isn't very good at it. He's not very bright, but others on his crew are worse. Each time he is confronted by his nemesis, Cut- throat Jake, he runs away, so is a bit of a scaredy cat. Also he's not very good at navigating. So overall he's a bit rubbish.   He redeems himself by coming out with some rather strange comments, like 'Jumping Jellyfish' or 'Stuttering Starfish'. Master Mate He accidentally blew a hole in the prison where Cutthroat Jake was being held, so letting him escape and come after Pugwash again! Tom He is the Cabin Boy of the ship and basically looks after the crew, cooks all their meals and even steers the ship. He is the brains of the operation and is always giving the Captain advice on how to get out of a sticky situation. He even thought of dangling a crate of biscuits in front of a Sea Monster, so it would chase after it, and give the ship a tow.   Tom also has his own pet mouse. Cut-throat Jake His is Captain Pugwash's number one enemy and pursues him relentlessly. He's even attempted to steal the Black Pig.   Beware of a man with hairy knuckles. Pirate William (Willy) He is the lowest ranking pirate.   He is scared of mice. Pirate Barnabus Captain Pugwash Episodes Series 1 (1957 - 1966)  ?. Down The Hatch  ?. Cannon Ball  ?.

Which US TV musical comedy drama series is set in the fictional William McKinley High School in Lima Ohio?

Lima, Ohio | Glee TV Show Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia [ show ] Economy In Dream On , Bryan Ryan says that most of the glee club members will likely end up staying within Allen County and working at "a mid-market health insurance provider" or at an elderly-care facility, implying that health care services make up a large part of the local economy. Several local businesses have been seen on the show, including:  Hummel Tires & Lube , Rinky Dinks , The Lima Bean , Mattress Land , Breadstix , and Sheets-N-Things . Culture Lima has an active community theater group, the Lima Theatre Guild . WOHN Television station WOHN-TV provides news coverage for western Ohio. Print media includes the Lima News. Government and Politics Lima is located in Ohio's 4th Congressional district. When the 4th district's current U.S. Representative dies unexpectedly sometime prior to Season Three and a special election is held to fill his seat, Sue Sylvester decides to run on an anti-arts platform ( The Purple Piano Project ). However, Burt Hummel enters the race as a write-in candidate and eventually wins the election, defeating both Sue and Reggie "The Sauce" Salazar ( I Kissed a Girl ). WMHS Education Lima has a high school, William McKinley High School . Among the members of the local school board is Bryan Ryan , a former McKinley Glee Club member. It is also home to the Allen County Community College and the University of Lima . Healthcare There appear to be numerous health care professionals in Lima. Dentists include Carl Howell and Mercedes Jones ' unnamed father. Santana Lopez 's father is a doctor (specialty unknown). There are two obstetricians, Dr. Chin and Dr. Wu . Lima is named America's fattest city as shown in a newspaper article seen during the Tongue Tied montage in Nationals . Lima Neighborhoods Lima Heights Adjacent Santana 's family lives here, as she mentions in Silly Love Songs . She claims it is on the wrong side of the tracks. She mentioned in Mash Off that she was born and raised with insults, implying that it isn't a nice neighborhood. However, she contradicts herself sometimes because in Britney/Brittany , she mentions that her dad is a doctor. It would be unlikely for a doctor and his family to live in a rough neighborhood. West Lima In The First Time , Kurt and Blaine visit a gay bar, Scandals , located in West Lima. West Lima Crack District In Dream On , Bryan Ryan says he ended up here after briefly working at Kings Island and as a cruise ship performer. Trivia While the writers have clearly done some research on Ohio locales (such as Rachel mentioning EJ Thomas Hall in Akron), there are smaller details they get wrong that an Ohio native can point out: Outside the larger cities and their suburbs, the smaller cities like Lima don't have particularly large Asian or Jewish populations. Lima does, however, have a significant Black population, at least more so than we've seen on the show. Ohio's age of consent law is 16. It technically wasn't illegal for Jeremiah , Blaine's previous crush, to date him and be intimate. The students at McKinley are often seen lounging outside before class during times of the year when it would be way too cold to do so (from late October to mid-April).

Wilfried Bony smashed his spot-kick against the crossbar but the Elephants recovered in the shoot-out, eventually taking the title when goalkeeper Boubacar Barry saved from his opposite number Razak Braimah and then stepped up to score. It was an exciting end to a game that had been anything but, with Premier League stars Bony and Yaya Toure unable to create enough to win the game in 90, or even 120 minutes.

Didier Drogba has bowed out of the international game but the Ivory Coast have found a way of winning the competition.  22:13 Barry - the unlikely hero Sportsmail's Jonny Singer: Fitting for Boubacar Barry to be the hero. For a decade he's been the weak spot of this 'golden generation', holding them back. This tournament, aged 35, he was made second choice. But when an injury ruled out Sylvain Gbohouo, he stepped up, not just to save a penalty, but to then convert the winning spot kick. What a moment. Penalties are cruel, but they produce some lovely pictures. Herve Renard took time away from celebrating to console Ghana's Andre Ayew, who was in floods of tears. At the same time Gervinho, who didn't watch a single penalty having missed crucially in the final three years ago, tried to steal the match ball off the referee. No chance son. 22:10 Mixed emotions in Bata Ghana's players are in tears after losing the penalty shootout. The Black Stars have not won the tournament since 1982.

Knopa’s, handler, Rebecca, said of her win: “On my goodness, there are 21,000 other dogs here so this is completely unreal. I was convinced that the judge wasn’t going to pick her. She was wonderful tonight. She is probably going to retire after this show that makes this even more special.” Ronnie Irving, Best in Show judge, said: “Knopa is a wonderful Scottish Terrier. She is in excellent condition, had a great coat, moved really well around the ring, she was just fantastic. It was a great line up of dogs, they were all wonderful.” The Reserve Best in Show award was won by Dublin, a Flat Coated Retriever bred in the UK by Kennel Club Assured Breeder, Dorothy Brooks and owned by Anette Dyren from Sweden.

Which soul singer's backing group were cailed The Famous Flames?

James Brown & The Famous Flames Discography at Discogs Report The Fabulous Flames were a San Francisco-based splinter group-consisting of former members of Brown's "interim" Famous Flames lineup that were formed after the departure of Bobby Byrd & the original Flames. This interim group consisted of: Big Bill Hollings, Willie Johnson, Louis Madison, and J.W. Archer. After an incident in the Bay Area of California, where this group was caught using drugs, Brown fired these men , leaving them in California. They, while there , signed with the small Bay-Tone Records label as "The Fabulous Flames" , and released several singles.

Catherine of Braganza was married to which English king?

Catherine Of Braganza | queen of Great Britain | Britannica.com queen of Great Britain Alternative Title: Catherine of Bragança Catherine Of Braganza José Saramago Catherine Of Braganza, (born Nov. 25, 1638, Vila Viçosa, Port.—died Dec. 31, 1705, Lisbon ), Portuguese Roman Catholic wife of King Charles II of England (ruled 1660–85). A pawn in diplomatic dealings and anti-papal intrigues, she was married to Charles as part of an important alliance between England and Portugal . Catherine’s father became King John IV of Portugal in 1640. Her marriage, which took place in May 1662, brought England valuable trading privileges and the port cities of Tangier (in Morocco) and Bombay . In return, England pledged to help Portugal maintain its independence from Spain. The young queen had little personal charm, and, despite her deep affection for Charles, he paid less attention to her than to his mistresses. When it became apparent that she would bear the King no children, opponents of his brother, James, duke of York, urged him to divorce her in the hope that Charles could then be induced to wed a Protestant. In 1678 they accused Catherine of scheming to poison the King and place his Roman Catholic brother James on the throne. But Charles, who never doubted his wife’s innocence, stood by her until she was cleared of the charges. Catherine helped convert Charles to the Roman Catholic Church shortly before he died in 1685, and in 1692 she returned to Portugal. In 1704 she became regent of Portugal for her ailing brother, King Pedro II . Learn More in these related articles:

Lou Reed was the lead singer with which group?

Lou Reed | Rolling Stone artists > L > Lou Reed >           Bio Lou Reed Bio As the lead singer and songwriter of the Velvet Underground in the 1960s, Lou Reed helped invent punk rock and while writing about femme fatales, black angels and heroin. In the process, he also brought a stormy dissonance to the foreground, helping to expand the vocabulary of the electric guitar. For the next 40 years, during periods both inspired and hollow, Reed tried his hand all sorts of artsy and evocative music. He loves to mess with his persona (his first big commercial splash came in the guise of glam rock) and in the process he's explored all sorts of unexpected tangents. Reed (b. Lewis Alan Reed, Mar. 2, 1942, Brooklyn, NY) grew up in Freeport, Long Island, and attended Syracuse University, studying poetry (under Delmore Swartz, to whom Reed dedicated a song on the first Velvet Underground album) and journalism. Reed's poems were published in Fusion magazine. (In 1977 he earned an award from the Coordinating Council of Literary Magazines for his poem "The Slide" and in 1992 was awarded France's Order of Arts and Letters.) After leaving Syracuse, Reed returned to New York and worked for Pickwick Records, taking part in the studio group that recorded various Reed-penned songs. During this period he met the musicians with whom he would subsequently form the Velvet Underground. With future VU member John Cale he formed a band called the Primitives, which then became the Warlocks; they made one record. In the mid-1960s, Reed and Cale connected with Sterling Morrison and Moe Tucker to form the Velvet Underground. The band recorded four classic, highly influential albums between 1966 and 1970, investigating life's darker side positioning themselves as an East Coast antidote to the West Coast sunshine of the hippie era. Reed's 1970 departure from the Velvet Underground was bitter; he did not even stay to complete their fourth album, Loaded, though songs from that project ("Sweet Jane" and "Rock & Roll") would become cornerstones of his live show and reputation. He became a virtual recluse for nearly two years, until moving to England and beginning a solo career in 1972 with a potent self-titled debut that sustained the intensity of his Velvets work (and used a few left-over songs he'd written during his Velvets tenure). Transformer (Number 29, 1972) was his pop breakthrough, however. Produced by David Bowie, it yielded Reed's only Top Twenty hit to date, "Walk on the Wild Side" (Number 16, 1973), an ode to the denizens of Andy Warhol's 1960s films. With Bowie's aid, Reed made the transition to the glitter rock of the period, camping up fashion sense with bleach-blond hair and black fingernail polish. Glam rock was the rage at the time, and Reed was one of its central figures. In what was to become a common shifting of tone, his 1973 follow-up Berlin was as grim as Transformer had been playful. Reed's recordings have continued to flaunt this kind of unpredictability. A pair of live albums drawn from the same set of concerts (including Rock 'n' Roll Animal, Number 45, 1974) featured heavy-metal versions of Velvet Underground tunes, while a later tour was built on theatrics. For example, he pretended to shoot up while performing the song "Heroin." The critically panned Sally Can't Dance (Number Ten, 1974) was repudiated by Reed himself — almost upon release. After another live album, he followed with Metal Machine Music, a double album of grating, vocal-less dissonance. It's been seen from two perspectives: a genuine attempt at high art that was worthy of RCA's classical division, and a cagey gambit to get off the label by proffering obnoxiousness. After a final RCA album, Coney Island Baby (Number 41, 1976), Reed moved to Arista where he made impeccably produced, harrowing music like the title cut of Street Hassle (Number 89, 1978), as well as relatively peaceful outings typified by album titles like Rock and Roll Heart (Number 64, 1976), The Bells (1979) and Growing Up in Public (1980). He married Sylvia Morales on Valentine's Day 1

Vettori back for a fourth Cup Veteran spinner Daniel Vettori, who played just three one-day internationals between the 2011 World Cup and October 2014, has been named in New Zealand's 15-man squad. He is joined by veteran allrounder Grant Elliot, who last played an ODI in November 2013, in a Blackcaps squad which included few surprises. Young allrounder Jimmy Neesham and paceman Matt Henry have missed out, while quick Adam Milne - who clocked up deliveries in excess of 150km/h against Pakistan - won the battle for the final bowling spot. Coach Mike Hesson said there were some difficult decisions but he was pleased with the 15 chosen. “A lot of bowlers have performed brilliantly for us over the past couple of seasons, which certainly made it difficult, but we think we have the right mix," Hesson said. “Our batting unit has good depth and Grant’s inclusion assures us strong cover in the middle order. He brings a lot of experience and his record in New Zealand and Australia conditions is excellent. New Zealand: Brendon McCullum, Corey Anderson, Trent Boult, Grant Elliott, Martin Guptill, Tom Latham, Mitchell McCle

Who was captain of the England rugby union team during the 2015 World Cup?

Rugby World Cup 2015: England captain Chris Robshaw takes advice from Jimmy Anderson - Telegraph Rugby World Cup 2015: England captain Chris Robshaw takes advice from Jimmy Anderson Andrew Strauss has also advised Robshaw on bringing an upbeat attitude to the  home World Cup Advice: Robshaw wants to emulate the spirit of England's Ashes side Photo: GETTY Follow Chris Robshaw, the England rugby captain, has taken the upbeat advice of fast bowler Jimmy Anderson to Denver as the 45-man squad decamped to their high-altitude training base in Colorado for a fortnight of heavy-duty preparation ahead of the Rugby World Cup. Robshaw bumped into Anderson at Wimbledon and has also met Andrew Strauss, the new England director of cricket, as he takes on board counsel from various quarters in sport and business as he prepares to deal with the pressure that comes with a home World Cup. The Harlequin back-row forward was struck by how energised the cricketers were ahead of the Ashes. Robshaw is hoping for the same uplift when England rugby swings into World Cup action in September. Jimmy Anderson was part of England's first Test triumph on Saturday “When these major sporting events come, they grab everyone in,” said Robshaw, who took in a lot of the action from the Women’s World Cup. “A lot of the guys probably wouldn’t watch women’s football but we all got pulled in and were so proud of them. Everyone with a sporting interest is pulled in. I spoke to Jimmy [Anderson] at Wimbledon and you could feel how much excitement there was around the start of the Ashes, how it galvanises the team and increases their performance. Hopefully we can do a similar thing.” Robshaw sought the insights of Strauss, along with members of England’s 1991 World Cup squad, about coping with the increased levels of scrutiny. • Maro Itjoe is a wonderful talent, but too raw “I have learnt a lot along the way, what to do, what not to do,” Robshaw said. “I have spoken to various people in sport and business and the landscape is continually changing. The guys from the 1991 World Cup [which was played across the five nations with England losing against Australia in the final] talked about how everything built and built the further they went and all just magnified. We have to be ready for that. Andrew Strauss also gave Robshaw advice, along with members of the 1991 World Cup squad “To play in a World Cup is what people talk about just as athletes talk about the Olympics, how special it all is. To play in a home World Cup is even more special. You have to deal with the scrutiny, take it with a pinch of salt. You learn to find your release. It took me a while to get there and when you see other international captains going through it all, you have sympathy as you know what it is like.” Chris Robshaw was appearing alongside his England team mates at the launch of the innovative England Rugby World Cup shirt #CommittedtoEngland.

Who, in the Old Testament, sold his birthright for a piece of bread and a potage of lentils?

Genesis 25:33 But Jacob said, "Swear to me first." So he swore an oath to him, selling his birthright to Jacob. Matthew Henry Commentary 25:29-34 We have here the bargain made between Jacob and Esau about the right, which was Esau's by birth, but Jacob's by promise. It was for a spiritual privilege; and we see Jacob's desire of the birth-right, but he sought to obtain it by crooked courses, not like his character as a plain man. He was right, that he coveted earnestly the best gifts; he was wrong, that he took advantage of his brother's need. The inheritance of their father's worldly goods did not descend to Jacob, and was not meant in this proposal. But it includeth the future possession of the land of Canaan by his children's children, and the covenant made with Abraham as to Christ the promised Seed. Believing Jacob valued these above all things; unbelieving Esau despised them. Yet although we must be of Jacob's judgment in seeking the birth-right, we ought carefully to avoid all guile, in seeking to obtain even the greatest advantages. Jacob's pottage pleased Esau's eye. Give me some of that red; for this he was called Edom, or Red. Gratifying the sensual appetite ruins thousands of precious souls. When men's hearts walk after their own eyes, Job 31:7, and when they serve their own bellies, they are sure to be punished. If we use ourselves to deny ourselves, we break the force of most temptations. It cannot be supposed that Esau was dying of hunger in Isaac's house. The words signify, I am going towards death; he seems to mean, I shall never live to inherit Canaan, or any of those future supposed blessings; and what signifies it who has them when I am dead and gone. This would be the language of profaneness, with which the apostle brands him, Heb 12:16; and this contempt of the birth-right is blamed, ver. 34. It is the greatest folly to part with our interest in God, and Christ, and heaven, for the riches, honours, and pleasures of this world; it is as bad a bargain as his who sold a birth-right for a dish of pottage. Esau ate and drank, pleased his palate, satisfied his appetite, and then carelessly rose up and went his way, without any serious thought, or any regret, about the bad bargain he had made. Thus Esau despised his birth-right. By his neglect and contempt afterwards, and by justifying himself in what he had done, he put the bargain past recall. People are ruined, not so much by doing what is amiss, as by doing it and not repenting of it.


Which car company has the six brightest stars of the constellation Pleiades as its badge?

Pleiades Star Cluster: Messier 45 | Constellation Guide by admin The Pleiades, also known as the Seven Sisters or Messier 45 , is a famous open star cluster located in Taurus constellation . The brightest stars in the cluster represent the Pleiades, the Seven Sisters in Greek mythology, and their parents, the nymph Pleione and the Titan Atlas. Messier 45 is one of the nearest star clusters to Earth. Its brightest stars lie at a distance between 390 and 460 light years. The cluster is mostly composed of hot, blue, highly luminous stars belonging to the spectral class B with an estimated age under 100 million years. The Pleiades (pronunciation: /ˈplaɪ.ədiːz/ or /ˈpliːədiːz/) star cluster is about 110 arcminutes in size and has an apparent magnitude of 1.6. It is the easiest star cluster to find in the sky, mainly because of its brightness and size, and it is well known in many different cultures and mythologies. The earliest images of the Pleiades cluster date all the way back to the Bronze Age. PLEIADES STAR CLUSTER FACTS AND LOCATION The Pleiades (Messier 45). Image: Rawastrodata The Pleiades cluster contains more than 1,000 stars, not including unresolved spectroscopic binary stars. Up to 14 stars in the cluster are visible to the naked eye in good viewing conditions. The estimated mass of the cluster is equal to 800 solar masses. M45 also contains a significant number of brown dwarfs; they are believed to constitute up to 25 percent of all the stars in the cluster, but as they generally have less than 8 percent of the Sun’s mass, the brown dwarfs in M45 contribute less than 2 percent to the total mass of the cluster. The cluster has a tidal radius of approximately 43 light years, and the core radius is about 8 light years. The brightest stars in the Pleiades cluster are surrounded by a faint reflection nebula, sometimes known as the Maia Nebula (NGC 1432), after one of the Seven Sisters. The nebula is a cloud of dust illuminated by the hot, luminous stars in the cluster, which are currently passing through the nebulosity. The estimated age of the cluster is between 75 and 150 million years. The stars are gravitationally bound and are moving in the direction of Orion ’s feet. Messier 45 will exist for another 250 million years or so, after which the stars will disperse as a result of interaction with other stars, molecular clouds, and the spiral arms of the Milky Way Galaxy. The cluster appears prominently in the sky in winter in the northern hemisphere and in summer in southern latitudes. It is located to the west-northwest of Aldebaran , the brightest star in Taurus , and pretty easy to find on a clear night. The Seven Sisters are most prominent between October and April. In early November, the cluster rises in the east after sunset. In February it lies overhead in the evening. In May, it sets at sunset, before Orion . As the cluster lies near the ecliptic (the Sun’s path across the sky), it can’t be seen in May and June, because it is located too close to the Sun. When M45 is directly overhead, it can be found by following the line from Orion’s Belt. Merope Nebula The Pleiades cluster also contains the Merope Nebula (NGC 1435), a diffuse reflection nebula 30’ in size, suspected to be a supernova remnant. The nebula is also known as Tempel’s Nebula, after Wilhelm Tempel, the German astronomer who discovered it on October 19, 1859. The Merope Nebula surrounds the star Merope and has a visual magnitude of 13. Reflection nebula IC 349 near Merope in the Pleiades. Image: NASA The Merope Nebula contains IC 349, a small bright knot , 0.5’ in diameter, which is an extension of the larger NGC 1435. IC 349 is sometimes also known as Barnard’s Merope Nebula because it was discovered by Edward Emerson Barnard in November 1890. It is located 36 arcseconds (0.06 light years) to the southwest of the star Merope. M45 has been known since ancient times in cultures across the globe, including the Chinese, the Japanese, the Persians, the Māori , the Maya, the Cherokee, the Aztec, the Sioux, and the Aboriginal Australians.

"Which artist painted ""At the Races"" (1877-80) and ""Dancers at the Barre"" (1888)?"

Edgar Degas | Arthistory.net Arthistory.net Ancient Art Edgar Degas Born in Paris in 1834, Edgar Degas is most notably associated with the Impressionist art movement, yet his work depicts far more people than what is usual for Impressionist artists who generally painted more outdoor scenes and landscapes. Born to a wealthy family, Degas received excellent training early in his career, but great family debt discovered upon the death of his father would force Degas to work diligently to sell his art. Degas called himself a “realist” and is particularly known for his brilliant draughtsmanship. While many Impressionist painters took to the outdoors, Degas worked best in his own studio where he could adjust lighting and there perfect his forms—often dancers or café people. It was after his father’s death that Degas worked with many Impressionist artists to organize shows. Although Degas’ work showed marked differences from the other painters of this movement, he sold extremely well—so much so that he became a significant art collector of works by Manet, Cezanne, Delecroix, and Van Gogh. Degas’ love of realism became more pronounced in the 1880s and corresponded with his love for photography. He photographed friends like Renoir as well as many dancers which he would later model his paintings after. The Dance Class (1873) is a painting that is typical—if one can call a Degas typical—of his dancing scenes. Art historians praise him for his use of odd viewpoints and unusual cropping of scenes. Even though Degas began his career with the desire to become a great painter of history, he grew to be passionate about painting real life. Dancers at work, people in a café, or people on a road as in Place de la Concorde (1875) illustrate the artist’s love for realistic subject matter. Degas was also passionate about depicting movement. Certainly the many ballet scenes are rich with the idea of movement, but At the Races (1880) depicts movement on a grand scale. On the other hand, the simple depiction of a woman combing her hair as in La Toilette (1886) would become one the artist’s best-known works. Despite Degas’ emphatic devotion to realism, his later paintings would ironically depict more Impressionist techniques and more abstract forms. Degas died in 1917. His sketches and paintings of everyday life as well as his bold use of color mark him as one of the Impressionist movement’s most famous artists. He is best known for such works as Dancer with a Bouquet of Flowers (1878), Dancers at the Bar (1888), L’Absinthe (1876), and Stage Rehearsal (1879).
