According to the Bible, what did God create on the fourth day of creation?

Creation Creation The Creation Story In the beginning God created the heavens  and the earth. The story of how God made everything is, naturally, at the very beginning of the Bible: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was empty,  a formless mass cloaked in darkness. And the Spirit of God was hovering over  its surface. Then God said, "Let there be light," and there was light.  And God saw that it was good. Then he separated the light from the darkness.  God called the light "day" and the darkness "night." (NLT,  Genesis 1:1-5) That was the first day of God's creation. On the second day, God created the sky. On the third day, God created the land, the oceans and all the plants. On the fourth day, God created the sun, moon and stars. On the fifth day, God created the birds, fishes and other sea creatures. On the sixth day, God created all the land animals and people. On the seventh day, God rested: By the seventh day God had finished the work he had been doing; so on the  seventh day he rested from all his work. And God blessed the seventh day and  made it holy, because on it he rested from all the work of creating that he  had done. (NIV, Genesis 2:2-3) Questions Who Created God? How Did God Make Everything out of Nothing? and Why? Unfortunately, these mysteries are not explained in the Bible, and they are probably just too deep for us to understand. Did God Really Create Everything in Six Days and in the Order Listed in Genesis? The Bible story of creation was written in a way that made sense to the people of thousands of years ago who did not know anything about science. Since then, scientists have discovered many new things about how God created everything. If the story were written today, it might mention galaxies, black holes, the age and vastness of the universe, the solar system, the development of plants and animals, and other scientific discoveries. But, we are still not much closer to understanding the mysteries of God's creation. Lessons People have strong opinions about whether or not God really created things exactly the way it says in Genesis, but what this story tells us about God, Himself, is much more important: Long before there were any Christians, Genesis was part of the sacred scripture of the Hebrew people. Most people in the ancient world were pagans who believed in many different gods and goddesses, but the Hebrews believed in one all-powerful God. The Bible story of creation tells us that God is so powerful that He could create everything out of nothing! So, the people should worship only God and not the false gods of the pagans. In our own times, we must give our devotion to God and not to today's "false gods" such as money, power, success and vanity. God created everything with love and with a purpose. Unlike the sometimes evil gods of the pagans, God cares about His creation and is actively involved with the world. From the first chapter of Genesis to the last chapter of Revelation, the Bible tells of the one true God who created everything and loves all His creation. We can worship God and receive His divine love today as much as the ancient Hebrews did. God rested on the seventh day as an example for us. Reserving a day for rest and worship, the Sabbath, became one of the Ten Commandments ( Exodus 20:8-11 ). There is more to life than just work. We should also reserve time for rest and worship.

How to Talk About the Parts of the Body in Italian How to Talk About the Parts of the Body in Italian Learn vocabulary & phrases for le parti del corpo Feet dangling from dock.  Ascent Xmedia / Getty Images By Cher Hale Updated April 28, 2016. While chatting about body parts isn’t something that’s often a part of small talk, the necessity of knowing body part vocabulary pops at the most unexpected times. Besides the typical doctor situation, it comes up in many Italian proverbs, when describing physical characteristics of a person, and in famous children’s songs . Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes Below you’ll find an extensive list of body parts in the singular form along with examples to demonstrate the various ways to use your newfound vocabulary in real life. ankle continue reading below our video Test Your General Science Knowledge When you change some of the body parts from the singular into the plural form, they might seem strange at first because they don’t follow the regular rules of the ending of a feminine, plural word ending in the letter -e or a masculine, plural word ending in the letter -i. Per esempio: –  L’orecchio (ear) becomes le orecchie (ears) – Il braccio (arm) becomes le braccia (arms) – Il dito (finger) becomes le dita (fingers) – Il ginocchio (knee) becomes le ginocchia (knees) Esempi: Mi fa male lo stomaco. - My stomach hurts. Ho mal di testa. - I have a headache. Ho la testa altrove. - My head is somewhere else; I’m not focused. Siamo nelle tue mani. - We’re in your hands; We’re trusting you. L’hai visto?

Sei così rosso in viso! - You’re so red in the face!; You’re blushing. Ho un ginocchio messo male. - I have a bad knee. Finally, here are a few of my favorite proverbs with body parts: Alzarsi con il piede sbagliato – To get up with the wrong foot; idiomatic meaning: to get up on the wrong side of the bed Stamattina, mi sono svegliato/a con il piede sbagliato e finora ho avuto una giornataccia! - This morning I got up with the wrong foot and since then I’ve had such a bad day! Non avere peli sulla lingua – To have no hairs on the tongue; idiomatic meaning: to speak frankly Lui sempre dice cose sprezzanti, non ha davvero peli sulla lingua! - He always says rude things, he truly doesn’t have any hair on the tongue! Essere una persona in gamba/essere in gamba – To be a person in leg; idiomatic meaning: to be a really great, upstanding person Lei mi ha sempre aiutato, è veramente una persona in gamba. – She’s always helped me, she’s really a good person.

UK Railways portal Edinburgh Waverley railway station, [2] often simply referred to as Waverley, is the main railway station in the Scottish capital Edinburgh . Covering an area of over 25 acres (10 ha) in the centre of the city, it is the second-largest main line railway station in the United Kingdom in terms of area, the largest being London Waterloo ; and is both a terminal station and a through station, in contrast to the majority of central London stations. Ticketing generally regards Waverley and Haymarket as interchangeable subject to operator validity. It is one of 19 stations managed by Network Rail . [3] It is the northern limit of the East Coast Main Line to Network Rail infrastructure definition, but through-services operate to Glasgow , Dundee , Aberdeen , Perth and Inverness . There are many local services operated by Abellio ScotRail , including the four routes to Glasgow, the Fife Circle , and services to Stirling / Dunblane / Alloa / North Berwick / Dunbar , and the station is the terminus of the Edinburgh leg of the West Coast Main Line served by Virgin Trains and First TransPennine Express . Long distance inter-city trains to England are operated by CrossCountry to destinations such as York , Leeds , Sheffield , Derby , Birmingham New Street , Bristol Temple Meads , Exeter St Davids and Plymouth . Waverley is the second busiest railway station in Scotland after Glasgow Central and the 5th busiest in the United Kingdom outside London. Contents Location[ edit ] View from Scott Monument of Waverley Station roof, prior to restoration, between Waverley Bridge (bottom right) and North Bridge, and Arthur's Seat in the background Waverley station is situated in a steep, narrow valley between the medieval Old Town and the 18th century New Town . Princes Street , the premier shopping street, runs close to its north side. The valley is bridged by the North Bridge , rebuilt in 1897 as a three-span iron and steel bridge, on huge sandstone piers. This passes high above the station's central section, directly over the central booking hall (which cleverly hides one of the main stone piers within its bulk). Waverley Bridge lies to the west side of the station (though platforms extend below it) and it is this road which, by means of ramps, formerly afforded vehicular access to the station and still provides two of the six pedestrian entrances to the station. The valley to the west, formerly the site of the Nor Loch , is the public parkland of Princes Street Gardens . History[ edit ] Location of Waverley and (former) lines emanating from the station Edinburgh's Old Town, perched on a steep-sided sloping ridge, was bounded on the north by a valley in which the Nor Loch had been formed. In the 1750s overcrowding led to proposals to link across this valley to allow development to the north. The "noxious lake" was to be narrowed into "a canal of running water", with a bridge formed across the east end of the loch adjacent to the physic garden . This link was built from 1766 as the North Bridge and at the same time plans for the New Town began development to the north, with Princes Street to get unobstructed views south over sloping gardens and the proposed canal. The loch was drained as work on the bridge proceeded. In 1770 a coachbuilder began work on properties feued at the corner between the bridge and Princes Street, and feuers on the other side of the street strongly objected to this construction blocking their views to the south. A series of court cases ended with the decis

Media Peedia - Tv Watch - Family Guy Tweet ADVERTISEMENT Family Guy is an American adult animated sitcom created by Seth MacFarlane for the Fox Broadcasting Company. The series centers on the Griffins, a family consisting of parents Peter and Lois their children Meg, Chris, and Stewie, and their anthropomorphic pet dog Brian. The show is set in the fictional city of Quahog, Rhode Island, and exhibits much of its humor in the form of cutaway gags that often lampoon American culture. The show revolves around the adventures of the Griffin family, consisting of father Peter Griffin, a bumbling yet well-intentioned blue-collar worker,Lois,a stay-at-home mother and piano teacher who is a member of the wealthy Pewterschmidt family, Meg, their awkward teenage daughter who is constantly ridiculed and ignored by the family, Chris, their teenage son, who is overweight, unintelligent and a younger version of his father in many respects, and Stewie, their diabolical infant son of ambiguous sexual orientation who has adult mannerisms and uses stereotypical archvillain phrases. Living with the family is their witty, smoking, martini-swilling, sarcastic, English-speaking anthropomorphic dog Brian, though he is still considered a pet in many respects. Recurring characters appear alongside the Griffin family. These include the family's neighbors, sex-crazed airline pilot bachelor Quagmire, African American deli owner Cleveland and his wife Loretta (later Donna), paraplegic police officer Joe, his wife Bonnie and their baby daughter Susie, neurotic Jewish pharmacist Mort, his wife Muriel, and their geeky and annoying son Neil, and elderly child molester Herbert.

Which flavour jam is traditionally used in the recipe for Manchester Tart?

BBC Food - Recipes - Manchester tart Manchester tart 30 mins to 1 hour Cooking time 30 mins to 1 hour Serves 200g/7oz raspberry jam 3 tbsp desiccated coconut , plus 3 tbsp desiccated coconut , toasted in a dry frying pan until golden-brown, to serve 300g/11oz fresh raspberries 125g/4½oz caster sugar 4 heaped tsp cornflour 2 tbsp icing sugar , for dusting 400ml/14floz double cream , whipped until soft peaks form when the whisk is removed Method Preheat the oven to 200C/400F/Gas 6. Grease a 24cm/10in tart tin with butter. Roll out the shortcrust pastry onto a lightly floured work surface to a 0.5cm/¼in thickness. Line the prepared tart tin with the pastry. Prick the pastry several times with a fork, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. When the pastry case has rested, place a sheet of baking parchment into it and half-fill with baking beans. Transfer the pastry case to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Remove the baking parchment and baking beans and return the pastry case to the oven for a further 4-5 minutes, or until pale golden-brown. Spread the raspberry jam onto the pastry base in an even layer. Sprinkle over the three tablespoons of non-toasted desiccated coconut and half of the fresh raspberries. Set the pastry base aside. Bring the milk, vanilla pod and vanilla seeds to the boil in a pan, then reduce the heat to a simmer and simmer for 1-2 minutes. Remove the vanilla pod (it can be cleaned thoroughly and reused in another recipe). In a bowl, beat together the egg yolks and sugar until well combined. Pour the hot milk and vanilla mixture over the egg and sugar mixture, whisking continuously, until the mixture is smooth and well combined. Return the mixture to the pan over a medium heat. Whisk in the cornflour, a tablespoon at a time, until well combined, then heat, stirring continuously until the mixture is thick enough to coat the back of the spoon. Transfer the custard mixture to a clean bowl and dust with the icing sugar (this prevents a skin from forming on the surface of the custard). Set aside to cool, then chill in the fridge for 30 minutes. Whisk the whipped double cream into the chilled custard mixture until well combined. Spoon the custard and cream mixture into the pastry case in an even layer. Sprinkle over the remaining fresh raspberries. To serve, sprinkle over the three tablespoons of toasted desiccated coconut.

In the UK television series ‘Doctor Who’, which actor played the ninth Doctor?

Doctor Who | Tardis | Fandom powered by Wikia Doctor Who in five languages - BBC Worldwide Showcase You may wish to consult Doctor Who (disambiguation) for other, similarly-named pages. Doctor Who is both a television show and a global multimedia franchise created and controlled by the BBC ( British Broadcasting Corporation ). It centres on a time traveller called " the Doctor ", who comes from a race of beings known as Time Lords . He travels through space and time in a time machine he calls the TARDIS . This ship — which looks like a small, London police box on the outside — has nearly infinite dimensions on the inside . It has become such an iconic shape in British culture that it is currently the intellectual property of the BBC rather than its actual makers, the Metropolitan Police Service . Since Doctor Who's revival in 2005, its production has been primarily based in Wales by BBC Wales , with its soundtrack regularly performed by the BBC National Orchestra of Wales since 2006. In order to accommodate cast changes, the narrative allows the Doctor to regenerate into an essentially new person on occasion. The cast is rounded out by one or more " companions ", often females. On average, the main cast completely changes once every three or four years — a significant factor in the longevity of the programme. It has had two — some argue three — major production periods. The original run of the programme was from 1963 to 1989, and is often called the "classic series" or "classic Doctor Who". A failed revival, in the form of a Universal -BBC co-production, came in 1996 — but the resulting one-off tele movie is often considered a part of the classic series. The current form of the programme — sometimes called the "new series" — has been produced by BBC Wales and aired on BBC One since 2005. Though the classic series is fondly remembered by fans of a certain age, the new series has been far more consistently popular with the British public,[ source needed ] and is usually the highest-rated scripted drama — outside of perennially popular soap operas — in the weeks that it is on the air. The franchise spawned by the main television programmes includes dozens of distinct ranges of spinoffs in televised, audio and print media. Contents Edit Several individuals share credit for establishing Doctor Who in 1963 , but it is generally accepted that the original impetus for the series, as well as the establishment of certain aspects, such as the concept of the TARDIS , the basic character of the Doctor and the title Doctor Who itself belong to Canadian -born Sydney Newman , who is also credited with creating another iconic series, The Avengers . Others involved in piecing together the puzzle that became the series include Head of Serials Donald Wilson , writer C. E. Webber , script editor David Whitaker and the show's first producer , Verity Lambert , the first woman to hold such a position at the BBC . Junkyard set and police box for An Unearthly Child . Two other notable participants in the birth of the series were Anthony Coburn and Waris Hussein , the writer and director , respectively, of the first four-part serial, An Unearthly Child , the first episode of which aired on 23 November 1963 . The version of the first episode that was broadcast was in fact the second mounting of that episode; an earlier version (called The Pilot Episode by fans), was taped some weeks before, but rejected for several issues. The BBC allowed a second mounting of the pilot to proceed. The first episode aired the day after the assassination of John F. Kennedy , and had to be rebroadcast a week later when power failures disrupted the first broadcast. Also important to creating the atmosphere of the early series were composers Ron Grainer and Delia Derbyshire . Grainer wrote the basic melody of the Doctor Who theme , and Derbyshire, with the BBC Radiophonic Workshop , transformed it into a pioneering piece of electronica music. There have been several arrangements used of the theme, but the basic melody has remained unchanged throughout the show's histo

A Helen A Helen A, seen in The Happiness Patrol (1988), [1] was ruler of a human colony on Terra Alpha . Outlawing unhappiness, she brutally controlled the population through executions conducted by the Happiness Patrol and Gilbert M's Kandy Man . Joseph C was her consort and she had a pet Stigorax, called Fifi. Joseph C will escape the city when the Pipe People revolt against Helen A's rule. Fifi was killed, crushed in the pipes below the city during the uprising. Helen A, unable to escape, only came to understand the Doctor's notion that happiness can only truly be appreciated when counter-balanced with sadness when she discovered Fifi's remains. Helen A, was intended to be a caricature of then British Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher . In 2010, Sylvester McCoy told the Sunday Times: "Our feeling was that Margaret Thatcher was far more terrifying than any monster the Doctor had encountered." The Doctor's calls on the drones to down their tools and revolt was intended as a reference to the 1984–85 miners' strike . [2] Abzorbaloff Peter Kay The Abzorbaloff is a monster designed by nine-year-old William Grantham of Colchester , Essex for a "Design a Doctor Who Monster" competition held by Blue Peter . [3] The competition was announced in July 2005, and received 43,920 entries. These were judged by Blue Peter editor Richard Marson, presenter Gethin Jones , Doctor Who producer Russell T Davies and Tenth Doctor David Tennant . The first prize for the competition was to have the monster appear in an episode of Doctor Who. Tennant announced the winner on Blue Peter on 17 August 2005. Conditions of the competition meant that the monster had to be able to be made from prosthetics and not require CGI . Russell T Davies revealed on the Doctor Who Confidential episode "New World of Who" that Grantham imagined the Abzorbaloff to be the size of a double-decker bus, so was initially disappointed to see the final size of his creation. However, Grantham's design had not included size specifications (though the remains of the monster's victims on and within his body hinted at his being huge) and a larger size would not have fit the criteria of the competition unless the monster were superimposed on footage later on a larger scale. Ultimately, CGI was used for some shots of the talking faces on the Abzorbaloff. Appearing in the episode " Love & Monsters ", the Abzorbaloff, played by Peter Kay , was a creature that absorbed other living beings into his body with a simple touch. In doing so, the Abzorbaloff made his victims part of himself, adding their memories and knowledge to his own. The victims retain their identity and consciousness for at least several weeks after absorption, during which time their faces can be seen embedded in his flesh, but eventually, those too are eliminated as they are fully absorbed. During this period, however, the absorption process works both ways - in becoming part of the Abzorbaloff, they are able to access his thoughts, just as he is able to access theirs. To restrain his absorption ability, the Abzorbaloff requires the use of a "limitation field", which limits absorption to physical contact. The Abzorbaloff hails from Clom , the sister planet to Raxacoricofallapatorius , homeworld of the criminal Slitheen clan. Despite a passing resemblance to them, the Abzorbaloff spoke of the Raxacoricofallapatorians with contempt. Seeking to absorb the Doctor and his hundreds of years of experien

What is the name of the malevolent and renegade Time Lord in the television series Doctor Who, whose ambition led him to become the head of the High Council of Time Lords?

Morbius | Tardis | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit Morbius's ambition led him to become the head of the High Council of Time Lords . His warlike nature led him to urge the Time Lords toward a policy of conquest. While based on Gallifrey, Morbius formed a personal army of mercenaries , bought by his promises of time travel and immortality . His following came to be known as the Cult of Morbius . ( TV : The Brain of Morbius ) When the Time Lords finally denounced him, he and his followers abandoned Gallifrey and attacked the cultures of the outside universe. ( TV : The Brain of Morbius , PROSE : Warmonger ) Gallifreyan society struggled to deal with these inconceivable events. The long-term cultural changes brought about included the increased influence of the Celestial Intervention Agency ( PROSE : Warmonger ) and the founding of House Paradox . ( PROSE : The Book of the War ) War with the Alliance The Fourth Doctor sits next to a clay bust of Morbius. ( TV : The Brain of Morbius ) Uncomfortable with being seen to act directly in the universe, the Time Lord High Council eventually chose to fight the war by proxy. The Fifth Doctor , who had travelled into Gallifrey's past, was appointed "Supreme Coordinator of the Alliance Battle Fleet" and directed an unlikely army of humans , Draconians , Cybermen , Ogrons , Ice Warriors and Sontarans against Morbius, with the Time Lords providing the Doctor with financial support and a flagship. Planets involved in the conflict included Fangoria , Romark , Darkeen , Martak and Freedonia , which provided troops for Morbius, and Sylvana , Zandir , Tanith and Electra , which fell to him. ( PROSE : Warmonger ) The body crafted for Morbius by Solon . ( TV : The Brain of Morbius ) Although the verdict had been decided in advance, the Sisterhood still put Morbius on trial . ( PROSE : Warmonger ) The sentence of death by public and ceremonial disintegration was in part a panicked attempt by the Time Lords to caution the universe at large against ever opposing them. ( PROSE : The Book of the War ) The Sisterhood's leader Maren attended the execution where Morbius was placed in a dispersal chamber and atomised to the nine corners of the universe. ( TV : The Brain of Morbius ) Morbius escaped death when one of his followers, the human surgeon Mehendri Solon , secretly removed Morbius' brain prior to his disintegration. Solon was secretly aided by the Fifth Doctor, who knew that Morbius's brain had to survive in order to keep history on track. ( PROSE : Warmonger ) Solon went into hiding on Karn , where he began planning to build a new body for Morbius. The Sisterhood began to defend the Elixir of Life by causing nearby spacecraft to crash. These space travellers provided a regular supply of corpses from which Solon scavenged body parts for his project. ( TV : The Brain of Morbius ) Morbius' brain Edit Over the years, Solon acquired a great many body parts, which he used to create Morbius's new body. These included lungs from a Birastrop , a left hand from Solon's unknowing assistant Condo , and a claw for his right. This plan to create a new body for Morbius was nearing completion when the Fourth Doctor and his companion Sarah Jane arrived at his castle upon the planet Karn. The haphazardly-assembled body lacked a head to hold the brain of Morbius, so Solon planned to use the Doctor's head. After Morbius's brain was damaged during a fall when Condo fought with Solon on discovering his arm was being used, Solon was forced to use a plastic brain case. He had not used this before as there was the danger of a static build-up. Morbius was unable to speak for some time due to the damage sustained. Eventually Solon was able to repair this, but was killed soon afterward when the Doctor poisoned him with cyanide gas. As Morbius proclaimed his return to power, he was challenged to a mind-bending contest by the Doctor, who informed him that he doubted Morbius's power after his brain had spent so long trapped in the tank, and agreed. Morbius falls from a cliff. ( TV : The Brain of Morbius ) Morbius was apparentl


What is the name of Rose Tyler’s boyfriend in the UK television series ‘Doctor Who’?

Doctor Who (TV story) | Tardis | Fandom powered by Wikia Edit The Doctor , nearing the end of his seventh life , is charged with transporting the remains of his fellow Time Lord , the Master , back to their home planet . Despite his precautions, his old enemy is not only not dead, but is out for revenge. Creating a timing malfunction in the TARDIS , and bringing the Doctor to San Francisco in 1999 , the Master escapes and puts his plans into motion. The Doctor must find a beryllium atomic clock and stop the Master, but after being shot down by members of a street gang , how will he succeed? Plot Edit The Seventh Doctor relaxes in his TARDIS. The Master has been placed on trial by the Daleks on Skaro , and is sentenced to extermination . As part of a "last, and somewhat curious, request", the Master asked that the Doctor , now late in his seventh incarnation , escort his ashes back to Gallifrey for proper burial. The Eighth Doctor narrates that Time Lords have thirteen lives , but the Master had already used all his . As rules never mattered much to his old foe, he knew that even in death, he could not trust the Master: he locks the urn containing the Master's ashes inside another box with his sonic screwdriver - he claims he had learnt, by the end of his seventh life, that he could not help but be too careful. After returning to the main control room, the Seventh Doctor sets the TARDIS coordinates for Gallifrey . He then gets a cup of tea and returns to reading a book, H.G. Wells 's The Time Machine , whilst eating a bowl of jelly babies . At the same time, he has " In a Dream " playing on his gramophone . The Master, currently trapped in the form of a slime creature, approaches the TARDIS console. Nearby, the casket containing the Master's ashes shakes violently. The record begins skipping on the word "time", but the Doctor fixes it, remaining unaware of the situation. The shaking grows worse, until the casket breaks open; the Doctor's tea crashes to the ground as the record skips to a stop. Suspicious of these omens, the Doctor becomes more distracted. A snake-like creature emerges from the box and, unseen by the Doctor, slithers into the TARDIS console. The resulting effect of the console malfunctioning as sparks fly out finally rouses the Doctor: leaving his chair, he rushes to fix it, but is unsuccessful; a critical timing malfunction forces him to make an emergency landing. Concerned that the Master may have had a hand in this, the Doctor quickly returns to where he left the ashes, only to see the box cracked open. The Doctor, shocked, stares at it with a worried expression. Meanwhile, in San Francisco on December 30th 1999 , two local Chinese-American gangs are having a shoot-out, reducing one to just Chang Lee . When the other gangsters prepares to fire on him, the TARDIS materialisation wind picks up and it appears in front of Lee. The gang fruitlessly fires at the TARDIS, emptying their guns. While they reload, the Doctor exits the TARDIS to find his bearings only to be shot by the gangsters, who quickly flee. Lee runs to the Doctor's side. The Doctor tries to warn Lee about the Master, who has slipped through the TARDIS keyhole. However, Lee doesn't turn around in time to see him. The Doctor falls unconscious and Lee quickly runs to get an ambulance and accompanies the Doctor to Walker General Hospital . Unseen, the Master stows away in the ambulance. At the hospital , a surgeon removes the bullets, but the Doctor's two hearts cause confusion for the medical team. They assume he is fibrillating and that the X-rays showing his two hearts is a double exposure. A cardiologist , Dr. Grace Holloway , is summoned from her visit to the opera , and attempts to stabilize the Doctor's heartbeat. Regaining consciousness, from pre-op sedation by music from "Madame Butterfly" opera, just as she is about to begin the operation, the Doctor tries to prevent it by explaining his non-terrestrial origins and tells Grace that he needs a beryllium atomic clock. Salinger implies that they can't wait any longer to begin the operati

What is the name of the aliens who invaded planet Earth in the 2005 60-minute special television episode of Doctor Who’ entitled ‘The Christmas Invasion’?

the christmas invasion : definition of the christmas invasion and synonyms of the christmas invasion (English) " Attack of the Graske " (interactive episode) "The Christmas Invasion" is a 60-minute special episode of the British science fiction television series Doctor Who . It is Christmas , but there is little cause for celebration as planet Earth is invaded by aliens known as the Sycorax. It's up to Rose and the newly-regenerated Doctor to save humanity, with a bit of help from her boyfriend Mickey and her mother Jackie. It began production in July 2005, and was broadcast on Christmas Day 2005 in the United Kingdom and on Boxing Day 2005 in Canada. This is the first full episode in which David Tennant appears as the Doctor , and also the first specially produced Christmas special in the series' history. Contents 6.1 Reviews   Plot The Doctor , suffering from post- regeneration effects, lands the TARDIS near Rose Tyler 's flat, where she, Jackie and Mickey carry him into bed and dress him in bedclothes from Jackie's ex-beau. With little to do but wait for the Doctor to recover, Rose and Mickey go Christmas shopping. While out, they are attacked by masked Santa robots , and retreat to the safety of the flat, but find themselves facing an attack. The Doctor wakes, repels the attack and theorises that the energy of his regeneration is luring the unseen foe to him. Rose, Mickey, and Jackie keep a vigil while the Doctor rests, as he needs more time to recover. Meanwhile, Prime Minister Harriet Jones and her science team prepare for a live broadcast across the globe from the space probe, "Guinevere One", once it lands on Mars. They are unaware it has been swallowed by a giant spaceship heading for Earth. When the broadcast is shown, an alien face appears. The Sycorax aliens demand Earth's surrender, and cause approximately one-third of the world's population to go into a hypnotic state and pose themselves on the edges of the tallest buildings nearby. The Sycorax threaten to send a signal to make them step off to their deaths if the invaders are not given half of the world's population as slaves. One of the technicians discovers all the hypnotised people share the same blood type, the same as contained in a sample on "Guinevere One". Harriet attempts further negotiations with the Sycorax, and is surprised to find herself and her staff transmatted aboard the ship. As the Sycorax ship moves over London, Rose, Mickey and Jackie evacuate the Doctor to the TARDIS, but before Jackie can return with additional supplies, the TARDIS is detected by the Sycorax and is transported aboard their ship. When Rose and Mickey attempt to leave, they are shocked, accidentally dropping a container of tea that pours over the TARDIS innards, which begin to smoke. Rose attempts to use the same ploys the Doctor has in the past to scare the Sycorax, but they are not intimidated. This, however, gives enough time for the Doctor to fully recover, rejuvenated by the smoke from the spilled tea. He reintroduces himself to Rose, Mickey, and Harriet, and presses the button that would make the hypnotised humans jump, but he knew the hypnosis couldn't coerce those affected to kill themselves, therefore freeing them. The Doctor challenges the Sycorax leader to a sword fight for the fate of the Earth. During the fight, the leader slices off the Doctor's hand, which falls into the heart of London. But because the Doctor is still within the first 15 hours of regeneration he is able to grow a new hand, and then forces the Sycorax leader to submit. As the Doctor and his allies return inside the ship, the Sycorax leader attempts to attack the Doctor from behind. The Doctor hits a sensor with a fruit he found in his bathrobe, part of the wing folds and the leader falls to his death. The Doctor forces the remaining Sycorax to leave Earth and promise never to return, and then returns to Earth with Rose, Mickey, and Harriet. As the Sycorax ship moves away, Harriet remotely orders " Torchwood " to fire, causing five laser cannons to strike the ship and destroy it. The Doct


In the original UK television series ‘Doctor Who’, Susan Foreman is what relation to the Doctor?

What Ever Happened To… Susan Foreman? | Doctor Who TV What Ever Happened To… Susan Foreman? June 16, 2013 Guest contributor Gustaff wonders what happened to Susan. “Well, I made up the name TARDIS from the initials: Time And Relative Dimension In Space.” – Susan This Time Lady was born Arkytior, which incidentally means ‘Rose’ in High Gallifreyan, but later adopted the alias Susan Foreman and maintained it throughout the rest of her life. Susan was the granddaughter of the Doctor, his first travelling companion. Her departure from the TARDIS was forced onto her by her grandfather who thought that she needed to leave to pursue a normal life with a man she fell in love with. Roughly twenty years after being left behind on earth, Susan was briefly reunited with the Doctor in the Death Zone and met several of his future incarnations. Susan’s life after the Doctor also contains contradictions of all sorts. The novel Legacy of the Daleks reveals that she told David she wasn’t human. Legacy of the Daleks also tells us that Susan adopted three war orphans because she was unable to conceive. She worked as a peace officer and had to disguise herself later in her life to look younger because she didn’t age as nippily as everyone else. The Earthly Child contradicts the above account and establishes that she and David Campbell married and had at least one child together, a boy named Alex. This account also contradicts the statement that Susan told David that she wasn’t human. Susan and Alex continued to live on earth after David died. She briefly encountered the Eighth Doctor and wondered if Alex would be allowed an education on Gallifrey, but the Doctor expressed worry that Alex’s ‘half-human’ heritage would cause problems. After the Doctor left, Susan and Alex stayed on earth to make peace with humanity. The Doctor, still in his eighth body, returned six months later and had Christmas dinner with Lucie, Susan and Alex. Afterwards, Lucie elected to travel the world with Alex and the Doctor left. The Daleks invaded and he returned. Susan helped her grandfather, along with Lucie and Alex, defeat the Daleks, but the battle resulted in the deaths of both Lucie Miller and Alex Campbell. Susan was offered the chance to travel with the Doctor again, but refused. The eventual fate of Susan Foreman is also contradicting. The Doctor explained to Rose that his ‘whole’ family was dead after the Time War. Whether or not he was including Susan is left up to speculation as there is still a debate over Susan being the biological granddaughter of the Doctor. The Forgotten tells us that the Doctor, now in his Tenth body, wasn’t sure if Susan was still alive or not as he hadn’t checked. This seems to imply that she wasn’t part of the Time War at all. So Which Is The Real Susan Foreman? Unfortunately, the television series has yet to give reference to Susan, though some fans believe that the Doctor will indeed go back for Susan in the upcoming 50th Anniversary or feel that she should be included in the special in some way. So without any television references, the bits and pieces from the various media may be used to conceive a coherent aftermath for Susan Foreman. This Author’s Take Personally I am against the Legacy of the Daleks approach as I count both the television series and the Big Finish stories as canon first before expanding into other media. Therefore, I accept that Susan had a child named Alex. As for her fate, I cannot be sure. I’d like to accept The Forgotten theory as it leaves the possibility of a Susan Foreman return open. I still haven’t forgotten that Susan still has all of her regenerations left, unless, like River Song, she regenerated into the Susan form prior to The Unearthly Child. Although this author believes that this theory would probably enrage some (I mean a lot of) fans. /p> This has been the ‘What ever happened’ article on Susan Foreman. What do you think happened? Novel or Audio? Time War or The Forgotten? Thank you for reading.


In the UK television series ‘Doctor Who’, the Doctor defeated villain Fenric by challenging him to solve what?

The Sylvester McCoy stories were either good or bad. It seems mediocrity was not something he did well. Time and the Rani , Remembrance of the Daleks , Silver Nemesis and Survival were all excellent stories. Paradise Towers , Delta and the Bannermen , and Ghost Light all had serious problems. The Curse of Fenric definitely falls into the first category. Like most Doctor Who stories, it was not without its faults, but it still worked well. In this story, the Doctor and Ace come to World War II England and quickly embroil themselves in a plot by the nefarious Dr. Judson, and through him Fenric,the embodiment of evil, to take control of the world. Russians arrive on the scene and people begin getting turned into modern-day vampires (haemovores). The Doctor beats Fenric in the end, but in doing so, he nearly loses Ace. I thought that The Curse of Fenric would have been a fine story with which to finish out the McCoy era. It explains the chess game in Lady Peinforte's study in Silver Nemesis, why Ace conveniently ended up on Iceworld in Dragonfire , and it served as a slap in the face to the Doctor. We saw him sink to a new low, in seeming to be ready to sacrifice Ace to Fenric. He, of course, never would, but I felt his sorrow for having to take such a risk genuinely.  It would have given the series a feeling of pathos and hope that, I feel, would have worked better than the final scene in Survival . The makeup in this story was excellent, and the Haemovores come across believably. The Ancient One is not the creature of evil that it seems, but something to be pitied, something that just wanted to go home. Even the vicar comes across well. It is shown to us that the vicar is only a man, and has his own weaknesses, too. Anyone's faith can be shaken. The story had a few problems, such as once more having a companion fall in love for no discernable reason, and I have problems with one being embodying all evil in the universe. I'm sure the Master, the Cybermen, the Sontarans, and the Daleks would disagree. However, those points are minor. In all, the story is, again, an example of what Doctor Who can do when it tries hard. It might have, perhaps, been better as the final story of the series, but it still worked well as the Doctor's penultimate adventure. Still, when seen together, The Curse of Fenric and Survival do give, I feel, the just the right sense of sadness, regret, and hope to end the series. The Jewel in the Crown by Michael Hickerson 27/11/97 Without a doubt, this is the crowning achievement not only of the McCoy years, but also of Doctor Who. In one four episode story, you have elements from every era of show along with a modern sensibility that made the final two seasons of Who such a joy to watch. From the Hartnells years, you have the historical aspects; from Troughton's era, the morality play; from Pertwee, the military presense; from T. Baker, the monsters; from Davison and C. Baker, the continuity and re-examination of the show's past in a new light. All of that added together with Andrew Cartmel's examination of the darker, more manipulative Doctor that, quite honestly, revitalized the show during the last two seasons. Indeed, the entire dark Doctor storyline pivots on one magnificent scene between the Doctor and Ace. I remember the first time I saw it being blown away by Ace's demand that the Doctor explain to her what is going on. Indeed, there is a look of betrayal on the Doctor's face that will so effectively mirror Ace's later when the Doctor betrays her that it's almost frightening. And McCoy and Aldred pull the scene off with style. Indeed, there is not one performance I can fault here. The performance by Judson is perfect--both as an invalid and as the evil Fenric. And the pacing is so well done. The eventually arrival of Fenric is the climatic moment of the show, coming late enough to keep the pace going but not so late that we don't have time to discover what a great villain this is. The final sequence with Ace's betrayal is probably one of the most powerful in Who 's history.


Who played the eye-patch wearing Madam Kovarian in the UK television series ‘Doctor Who’?

Doctor Who: Mid-season 6 review – Slouching towards Thatcham Doctor Who: Mid-season 6 review *** WARNING: SPOILERS! (Well, it does feature River Song after all) *** Season six (or season 32, if you’re a traditionalist) of Doctor Who reached its mid-season finale last night with the astonishing A Good Man Goes To War, an episode which promised to answer one big question – Who is River Song? – and yet also left other important questions unanswered and posed several new ones. As the series now enters an unfamiliar summer hiatus, it leaves at least one faithful viewer scratching his head at a seven-episode run which has varied between the sublime and the mediocre, and also signalled a distinct turn towards a darker, more horror-based approach which is likely to send younger viewers (and some older ones) scurrying behind the sofa and watching from behind their hands. Stetsons are cool … and so are the scares Nowhere is this ramped-up scare quotient more apparent than in the opening Steven Moffat-penned two-parter, The Impossible Astronaut and Day of the Moon. One of the most ambitious Who stories ever in many respects – including location filming at the iconic Valley of the Gods in Utah – this story sets the template for what was to follow. Moffat mixes in moments of extreme silliness – such as the Doctor extravagantly waving hello to Rory and Amy from various points in history and his Stetson-wearing reappearance – before launching into a succession of shocks and horrors which left viewers reeling. From the Doctor’s death at the hands of an unseen assailant in a NASA spacesuit to the realisation that Earth has long since been manipulated by an invading species, the Silence, who are forgotten the moment you look away from them, there is a distinct step away from the sense of whimsy which was never far from the surface in the Russell T Davies era. Moffat has a talent for turning everyday things into genuinely scary ones (image courtesy of bbc.co.uk) Davies based much of his drama on the Doctor’s angst as the last of the Time Lords; Moffat finds his in an altogether more visceral combination of visual and psychological horrors. The children’s home which Amy and Canton Delaware (a wonderful guest turn by Mark Sheppard) search is like something lifted straight out of the genre, while the use of tally marks on the faces and arms of Amy, Rory and River (to record their encounters with the Silence) is thoroughly chilling and one of this season’s enduring visual images. In true Moffat style, the tale plants several seeds to be returned to at a later date, and leaves us with two genuinely puzzling conundrums. What is the deal with Amy’s Schrödinger’s cat pregnancy? And how is the mysterious girl able to regenerate at the end of the story? It’s not quite the perfect start – particularly because the basic premise of the Silence is a bit too close to the Weeping Angels, arguably Moffat’s finest creation – but it is nonetheless an energetic and thrilling start to the season. Tricorns are cool … pirates aren’t Sadly, two of the next three stories – the Pirates of the Caribbean-style The Curse of the Black Spot and Life On Mars‘ Matthew Graham‘s two-parter The Rebel Flesh/The Almost People – are, at best, workmanlike. All five previous seasons of new Who have had their fair share of these – Boom Town, Graham’s Fear Her and The Vampires of Venice, to name but three – but in a truncated half-season run like this, their presence was felt all the more keenly. Aside from a pleasing performance by Downton Abbey‘s Hugh Bonneville as Captain Henry Avery, Black Spot is a by-the-numbers tale of pirate clichés with a ‘villain’ (supermodel Lily Cole) whose true identity is lifted straight from Star Trek Voyager, when we finally discover she is actually an emergency medical hologram. The setting of a becalmed pirate ship failed to shiver my timbers in terms of delivering a sense of claustrophobia, not least because of the silliness of much of the script. However, it did achieve the laudable aim of being a relatively low-cost episode, allowing the budget


‘The Meddling ‘what’ is a fictional character played by actor Peter Butterworth in the UK television series ‘Doctor Who’?

"Doctor Who" Checkmate (1965) Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 1 out of 1 people found the following review useful: Part 4 Checkmate - A brilliant conclusion, an episode beyond its years 27 August 2015 *** This review may contain spoilers *** Stephen and Vicki have discovered the Monk's secret, he has a TARDIS, and from the same world as the Doctor. The Doctor discovers the monk's plan, to lure the vikings in with fires, and destroy them. Whilst in the Monk's TARDIS, Stephen and Vicki learn the monk has been meddling with time, discussing powered flight with DaVinci and swindling banks. The villagers must stop the Vikings, and the Doctor must stop the Monk. The Doctor makes an enemy of the Monk. I love the Monk's TARDIS chockablock with ornaments and antiques, that's exactly how mine would be! The Monk is irresponsible, but is he a totally bad guy? only time will tell. Alethea Charlton is worth a mention for her performance as Edith, it's what I can only describe as charming. Such an authentic face. Great chemistry between her and Hartnell. This has been a totally brilliant story, and Part 4 is even better. I love the concept of the Monk as a renegade Timelord, the original idea back in 1965, long before the Master, Rani, War Lord etc. Gloriously written, this episode defies its years, and feels like a basis or vision for the show's future direction. Absolutely love it. 10/10 How cool are those closing credits too. Was the above review useful to you? 1 out of 1 people found the following review useful: The Time Meddler: Part 4 - Brilliant, entertaining adventure that fascinatingly introduces a villain from The Doctor's home planet. Review for all 4 parts: The Time Meddler is a 4 part story beginning with The Watcher. This story is excellent entertainment, well written, well acted and good fun but most importantly it introduces 'The Meddling Monk', wonderfully played by Peter Butterworth, who gives us fascinating new information about The Doctor's background. Writer Dennis Spooner is at his absolute best here with the humour blending beautifully with drama, unlike in some of his stories such as his earlier Season 2 effort The Romans where this is done badly. It is ironic that when Spooner was script editor standards were generally lower but he is the writer of this first story after Donald Tosh took over from him as script editor and it is brilliant. Tosh and director Douglas Camfield deserve a lot of credit for this I am sure. The humour is executed much better than it is in the stories when Spooner edited/oversaw the scripts himself. It all begins very mysteriously with 1066 England having items such as electric appliances being shown. The viewer is left wondering what is going on and it makes the build-up really interesting. At the same time the new companion Steven begins to be established. The character proves to be superb and Peter Purves starts as he means to go on with a fine performance matching Hartnell's delightful Doctor. Butterworth also excels as the amusing and interesting Monk. The character of the Monk finally gives a little development to the mysterious background of the Doctor as he is eventually revealed to be of the same race and planet of origin as the Doctor and also has a TARDIS time machine. This provides fascinating aspects to the story. It lets us know the Doctor is just one of a race capable of time travel. They are not yet named on screen as Time Lords from Gallifrey, though, that only happens in Second Doctor story The War Games. The Monk uses his TARDIS to travel to Earth past and interfere in proceedings at the time of the Norman invasion by William the Conqueror. He is not portrayed as thoroughly evil, more as mischievous and dangerously meddling in past events for his own gain. The whole story is excellent in my view with script, story and acting of a very high standard. It is one of the great all-time gems. My Ratings: All 4 episodes 10/10. Overall, Season 2 started and finished really well but dropped in quality noticeably in between for the stories where Spooner was script editor (except


Which late author became the step-grandmother of the late Diana, Princess of Wales in 1976?

Diana, Princess of Wales Facts LINK / CITE ADD TO WORD LIST Diana, Princess of Wales Facts Diana, Princess Of Wales Quotes Lady Diana Frances Spencer (1961-1997) married Prince Charles in 1981 and became Princess of Wales. Retaining her title after the royal couple divorced in 1996, Diana continued her humanitarian work. She died in a tragic car accident in 1997. Lady Diana Spencer began enchanting the public and international press shortly before July 29, 1981, wedding to Prince Charles of Wales, heir to the British throne, in a ceremony that was broadcast worldwide. The media's obsessive fascination with the Princess of Wales hardly waned over the years and at times became frenetic, particularly in the mid-1990s as her marriage to Prince Charles became increasingly unstable. On February 29, 1996, the Princess announced that she had agreed to a divorce. True to her high-profile image, in March of 1996 Diana suggested to Charles that they announce their divorce on television; according to The Daily Telegraph, Diana argued that such an appearance "would help the nation as much as themselves." After some stalling, Prince Charles agreed to the request and a hefty financial settlement of almost $23 million, plus $600,000 a year for the maintenance of Diana's private office. Diana, meanwhile, lost her title of Her Royal Highness and right to the throne, but kept the moniker Princess of Wales and continued to live in Kensington Palace. Just over a year after the divorce, Diana was killed in a car accident in Paris. Rumors about the stability of Charles and Diana's marriage surfaced repeatedly over the years. Many royal watchers say the union was destined for trouble because the fairy tale wedding raised expectations that most couples would find impossible to meet. Others cited the difference in the couple's ages and interests, and Charles's long-time friendship with Camilla Parker Bowles, a woman he had once asked to marry him. Diana Frances Spencer was born on July 1, 1961, in Norfolk, England, the third of the Lord and Lady Althorp's  four children. She grew up at Park House, a mansion in Norfolk located next door to the royal family's Sandringham estate. One of Diana's playmates was Prince Andrew, Charles's brother. Diana's mother, the Honorable Frances Shand-Kydd, is the daughter of a wealthy Anglo-Irish baron. Lady Fermoy, Diana's grandmother, was for years chief lady-in-waiting to the Queen Mother. Diana's father, the Viscount Althorp who became an earl in 1975, was a remote descendant of the Stuart kings and a direct descendant of King Charles II (1630-1685). The Spencers have served the Crown as courtiers for generations and are related to the Sir Winston Churchills and at least eight U.S. presidents, including George Washington, John Adams, and Franklin D. Roosevelt. Diana's younger brother Charles is Queen Elizabeth's godson, and her father was the late Queen Mary's godson and former personal aide to both King George VI and Queen Elizabeth. Diana, a quiet and reserved child, had a relatively happy home life until she was eight years old, when her parents went through a bitter divorce, and her mother ran off with the heir to a wallpaper fortune. Her father eventually won the custody battle over their son and three daughters. Diana, who remained close to her mother, subsequently became depressed. In 1976 the Earl Spencer married Raine Legge, the daughter of British romance novelist Barbara Cartland. Apparently, the Spencer children and their stepmother had a stormy relationship. Diana's academic career was unremarkable. She was tutored at home until the age of nine, when she was sent to Riddlesworth Hall in Norfolk. Her "major moment of academic distinction," according to People, was when she won an award for taking especially good care of her guinea pig, Peanuts. At the age of 12, Diana began attending the exclusive West Heath School in Sevenoaks, Kent, where she developed a passion for ballet and later Prince Charles. She hung his picture above her cot at the boarding school and told a classmate, as reported by Peo


According to the Bible, what are three theological virtues?

Catechism of the Catholic Church - The virtues MAN'S VOCATION LIFE IN THE SPIRIT CHAPTER ONE THE DIGNITY OF THE HUMAN PERSON ARTICLE 7 THE VIRTUES 1803 "Whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is gracious, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things."62 A virtue is an habitual and firm disposition to do the good. It allows the person not only to perform good acts, but to give the best of himself. The virtuous person tends toward the good with all his sensory and spiritual powers; he pursues the good and chooses it in concrete actions. The goal of a virtuous life is to become like God.63 I. THE HUMAN VIRTUES 1804 Human virtues are firm attitudes, stable dispositions, habitual perfections of intellect and will that govern our actions, order our passions, and guide our conduct according to reason and faith. They make possible ease, self-mastery, and joy in leading a morally good life. The virtuous man is he who freely practices the good. The moral virtues are acquired by human effort. They are the fruit and seed of morally good acts; they dispose all the powers of the human being for communion with divine love. The cardinal virtues 1805 Four virtues play a pivotal role and accordingly are called "cardinal"; all the others are grouped around them. They are: prudence, justice, fortitude, and temperance. "If anyone loves righteousness, [Wisdom's] labors are virtues; for she teaches temperance and prudence, justice, and courage."64 These virtues are praised under other names in many passages of Scripture. 1806 Prudence is the virtue that disposes practical reason to discern our true good in every circumstance and to choose the right means of achieving it; "the prudent man looks where he is going."65 "Keep sane and sober for your prayers."66 Prudence is "right reason in action," writes St. Thomas Aquinas, following Aristotle.67 It is not to be confused with timidity or fear, nor with duplicity or dissimulation. It is called auriga virtutum (the charioteer of the virtues); it guides the other virtues by setting rule and measure. It is prudence that immediately guides the judgment of conscience. The prudent man determines and directs his conduct in accordance with this judgment. With the help of this virtue we apply moral principles to particular cases without error and overcome doubts about the good to achieve and the evil to avoid. 1807 Justice is the moral virtue that consists in the constant and firm will to give their due to God and neighbor. Justice toward God is called the "virtue of religion." Justice toward men disposes one to respect the rights of each and to establish in human relationships the harmony that promotes equity with regard to persons and to the common good. The just man, often mentioned in the Sacred Scriptures, is distinguished by habitual right thinking and the uprightness of his conduct toward his neighbor. "You shall not be partial to the poor or defer to the great, but in righteousness shall you judge your neighbor."68 "Masters, treat your slaves justly and fairly, knowing that you also have a Master in heaven."69 1808 Fortitude is the moral virtue that ensures firmness in difficulties and constancy in the pursuit of the good. It strengthens the resolve to resist temptations and to overcome obstacles in the moral life. The virtue of fortitude enables one to conquer fear, even fear of death, and to face trials and persecutions. It disposes one even to renounce and sacrifice his life in defense of a just cause. "The Lord is my strength and my song."70 "In the world you have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world."71 1809 Temperance is the moral virtue that moderates the attraction of pleasures and provides balance in the use of created goods. It ensures the will's mastery over instincts and keeps desires within the limits of what is honorable. The temperate person directs the sensitive appetites toward what is good and maintains a healthy discretion: "Do not follow your i


The late author and television personality Barbara Woodhouse was famous for training which animals?

'80s Actual: Barbara Woodhouse Barbara Woodhouse The inimitable Mrs Woodhouse with a canine pal in the early 1980s. Barbara Woodhouse was born in 1910 and always loved animals. She was known for her way with horses and cows as well as for being a dog trainer. Having trained dogs to appear in films, Barbara became a celebrity herself in 1980 with her BBC series Training Dogs The Woodhouse Way. Her commands to the dogs in her charge quickly became catchphrases, parroted across the land. "Walkies!" we shrilled and "Sit!" Do you remember the strange arm movement which went with the latter command? - The first page of my copy of Barbara's autobiography is signed by the great lady herself. My wife found the book in a second hand bookshop when I was in bed with flu, c. 1996. I remembered Barbara as a somewhat starchy English "school marm" type character, standing around trilling orders in her sensible tweed skirts, and didn't expect to enjoy the book. But I was pleasantly surprised. Barbara's insights into training animals were fascinating, and she had a great sense of adventure, having travelled to South America to live as a young woman in the 1930s. Some of Barbara's dog training methods aroused controversy - I remember much animated chatter about the use of choke chains, but nobody could doubt her genuine love for her canine students. And she was a great character. It came as no great surprise when she was voted TV Personality of the Year 1980. The Daily Mirror reported on 2/1/1981: The lady who orders dogs about, Barbara Woodhouse, spent Christmas in Switzerland and was in bed by 11pm on New Year’s Eve. Switzerland was a real thrill for this lady who became a TV star in 1980: “Even there people were coming up to me and shouting ‘Walkies!’ " From the Sunday People, November 1981: TV’s doggie queen Barbara Woodhouse has been calling some of Hollywood’s superstars to heel. She’s been in California to train the canine delinquents of Beverly Hills and to teach their famous owners to “walk the Woodhouse way”. Barbara’s TV series has made her an instant celebrity in America and she has had the top dog treatment from the start. “I was treated like royalty, it was amazing,” said Barbara. “Everywhere I went people greeted me with the word ‘walkies’.” The results of Barbara’s American teach-in are to be shown in a Yorkshire TV special over Christmas. Among the problem pooches she helped were those belonging to Zsa Zsa Gabor, David Soul, Dorothy Lamour, Wilfred Hyde-White, Britt Ekland and Bill Shatner. Problem number one was Zsa Zsa’s nervous Alsatian. “I trained it to sit and walk to heel,” said Barbara. “It only took me about five minutes. - “Zsa Zsa was delighted.” Next stop was David Soul and some advanced training for his Labrador. “The trouble was that the dog kept jumping into the swimming pool after rubber balls,” she said. David Soul said he thought Barbara was terrific. “But my dog hasn’t changed much,” he said. Then it was on to the home of William Shatner, Captain Kirk in the TV serial “Star Trek”. “He had two Dobermans and seemed a little ill at ease at first,” said Barbara. Another of Barbara’s calls was to Britt Ekland’s home where she trained two Elk hounds and a cat. Barbara with Stefanie Powers and pooch. Barbara wrote: If any fortune teller five years ago had told me I should travel the world, with my husband, demonstrating my method of training dogs, to people whose welcome is “walkies” and “sit” when I arrive in their countries, I’d never have believed it. Yet it has happened. I’ve trained dogs for the Singapore enthusiasts, and celebrated our meeting wading through a wonderful dinner of ten courses of rice, fish, chicken or other ingredients, and was assured that if it spilt on the tablecloth, due to my lack of experience with chop sticks, it was a compliment to the chef to have a dirty tablecloth. I’ve seen a police dog crossing a wire tight rope in Pretoria wearing leather booties to save its paws. I’ve not seen a flag raised on a flag pole, but a banner which read: “Welcome Barbara Woodhouse”. A Doberman Pinsc


In the Shakespeare play ‘Midsummer Night’s Dream’, Titania is the Queen of the ‘what’?

Oberon and Titania Character Profiles Oberon and Titania Character Profiles Oberon and Titania Character Profiles A Midsummer Night's Dream.  Phillip Dvorak/Getty Images By Lee Jamieson Updated April 01, 2016. The Oberon and Titania characters play an important role in A Midsummer Night's Dream . Here, we take an in-depth look at each and understand what makes them tick as a couple. Oberon Oberon is angry with Titania as she is spending all her time with a changeling boy and will not give him over to Oberon to be used as a henchman. He could be considered to be quite spiteful in exacting his revenge upon her. “Well, go thy way. Thou shalt not from this grove Till I torment thee for this injury” (Act 2 Scene 1, Line 146-147). Titania accuses Oberon of being jealous “These are the forgeries of jealously” ( Act 2 Scene 1 , Line 81). Oberon is powerful but Titania appears to be just as headstrong and they seem equally matched. We know they have had a good relationship up until now as he and Titania would; “dance our ringlets to the whistling wind” (Act 2 Scene 1 Line 86). Oberon asks Puck to get the juice from a herb he once showed him and anoint the eyes of Titania with it so that she falls in love with something ridiculous. continue reading below our video Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night's Dream Overview Oberon is clearly angry with his queen for disobeying him and exacts a kind of revenge but it is quite harmless and humorous in its intent. He clearly loves her and just wants to have her all to himself again. Consequently, Titania falls in love with Bottom with an Ass’ head stuck on his. Oberon eventually feels guilty about this and reverses the magic which demonstrates his mercy; “Her dotage now I do begin to pity” ( Act 3 Scene 3 , Line 46) Oberon also shows compassion when he sees Helena being scorned by Demetrius and orders Puck to anoint his eyes with the potion so that Helena can be loved; “A sweet Athenian lady is in love with a disdainful youth. Anoint his eyes; But do it when the next thing he espies May be the lady. Thou shalt know the man by the Athenian garments he hath on. Effect it with some care, that he may prove more fond of her than she upon her love” (Act 2 Scene 1, Line 261-266). Unfortunately Puck get things wrong but Oberon’s intentions are good and he is ultimately responsible for everyone’s happiness at the end of the play. Titania Titania is principled and strong enough to stand up to her husband (in a similar way to Hermia standing up to Egeus). She has made a promise to look after the little Indian boy and doesn’t want to break it. “Not for thy fairy kingdom . Fairies away. We shall chide downright if I longer stay” (Act 1 Scene 2, Line 144-145). Unfortunately, Titania is made to look foolish by her jealous husband and is made to fall in love with the ridiculous Bottom with an ass’ head. “Thou art wise as thou art beautiful” (Act 3 Scene 1, Line 140). She is very attentive to Bottom and proves herself to be a kind and forgiving lover: Be kind and courteous to this gentleman. Hop in his walks and gambol in his eyes. Feed him with apricots and dewberries, with purple grapes, green figs, and mulberries; The honeybags steal from the humble bees, And for night tapers crop their waxen thighs and light them at the fiery glow worms’ eyes To have my love to bed, and to arise; And pluck the wings from painted butterflies To fan moonbeams from his sleeping eyes. Nod to him, elves and do him courtesies. ( Act 3 Scene 1 , Line 156-166) As Titania is intoxicated with the love potion she gives the changeling boy to Oberon and he gets his way. He then takes pity on her and undoes the magic. Oberon and Titania are the only couple in the play who have been married for a while. The other couples are just starting out with all the passion and excitement a new relationship brings. Oberon and Titania represent an older more weathered relationship, they have possibly taken each other for granted and when the love potion is removed and Titania realises that she has been doting and fawning over an ass she is made to real


What is the name of the saxophone player in the Muppet rock band, which appear on the television show ‘The Muppets’?

Zoot | Muppet Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia Zoot, as seen in Season 1 Zoot and Rowlf in The Muppets. Zoot is the balding, blue-haired saxophone player for the Electric Mayhem . According to his performer and builder Dave Goelz , "Zoot is just a fifty-year-old burnt-out musician." [1] Zoot first appeared with his bandmates in The Muppet Show: Sex and Violence before securing a regular gig on The Muppet Show , where he played both in the Muppet Orchestra and with the Mayhem. He has also appeared in every Muppet movie, the most recent being Muppets Most Wanted , except Kermit's Swamp Years . One of Zoot's trademarks is blowing small notes of music at a time. He notably blew the final note of " The Muppet Show Theme " in the closing credits on every episode of The Muppet Show (except episode 123 ), The Muppets Go Hollywood , and The Muppets: A Celebration of 30 Years . Although most of his appearances were with the Electric Mayhem, Zoot was more prominently featured as an individual in the early episodes, appearing with Juliet Prowse in a blackout in episode 101 , and playing a reluctant duet with Mahna Mahna in " Sax and Violence " in episode 102 . Zoot was considerably more talkative during the show's first season, but he soon started speaking less, often expressing himself purely with music. Dave Goelz explained that "I found that when the writers gave Zoot lines to speak, I would always try to give them away to other characters because I didn't know what to do with him. Maybe that helped to define the character. Perhaps it's best that he's so non-verbal." [2] Thus, Zoot's proclivity towards speaking more in the earlier episodes may have been due to the fact that Jerry Nelson , who played Zoot's more animated bandmate Floyd , was not available for tapings of The Muppet Show's first episodes. Zoot became much more talkative on The Muppets , often making candid observations which ultimately came across as humorous. Contents Lighting a Menorah in A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa Is Zoot Jewish? It is likely that Zoot is Jewish . Hints at this possibility are in A Muppets Christmas: Letters to Santa , where Zoot wishes Kermit a happy Hanukkah when he and the rest of the Electric Mayhem arrive at the Christmas party, and in the extended DVD release, where Zoot lights a Menorah. Is Zoot Homeless? Several Muppet Show episodes mention how poor he is. Close to the ending of the " Bohemian Rhapsody " [Kermit's Commentary] video, Kermit finds Zoot in the phone booth. Kermit says he didn't hear him come in. Zoot replies,"Come in? I've been sleeping here for three months." Additionally, although Zoot has had about 8 outfits he's worn the most, in The Great Muppet Caper it is revealed that he has only one pair of pants. Zoot also wore the same pair of shades until 2009 (when he started donning more modern shades). The only deviations from his original trademark shades were in Muppet Treasure Island and The Muppet Christmas Carol , where his look was adjusted to fit the time period. That being said, Zoot has only been seen without shades at all once in The Great Muppet Caper , when the Muppets arrive at the Mallory Gallery wearing Groucho Marx glasses, it's shown that he has no visible eyes - which contradicts an earlier scene in the movie where his eyes are visible after Gonzo took a group picture . Behind the Scenes Evolution Throughout the years, the Zoot puppet has been redesigned several times, his skin changing from gray to blue to green, the texture from exposed foam to fleece and back again, and his nose from green to yellow. Zoot's trademark shades (up until 2009), his bald spot, and his long, blue hair have always stayed with him, though. See Zoot Through the Years to track his changes. The original Zoot puppet is exposed foam, blueish-gray with a light green nose. Zoot changes to blue fleece skin with a yellow-green nose. Zoot has changed to exposed foam green skin with a yellow nose. And lastly back to light blue fleece with a new yellow nose. Sax playing For the run of The Muppet Show , Zoot's musical "voice" was Fran

English singer/songwriter Paloma Faith played Andrea in which 2007 film?

Paloma Faith artist page Paloma Faith Paloma Faith (born Paloma Faith Blomfield; 21 July 1981) is an English singer-songwriter and actress. In 2009, she released her debut single "Stone Cold Sober" and her debut album Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?, which was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry. The album spawned five singles: "Stone Cold Sober", "New York", title track "Do You Want the Truth or Something Beautiful?", "Upside Down" and "Smoke & Mirrors". Faith also recorded the theme song to the 2010 British film 4.3.2.1 and appeared on the charity record "I Put a Spell on You". Faith made her feature film debut in the 2007 remake St Trinian's. She has since appeared in two more feature films, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus and Dread. In March 2010, Faith revealed that she was working on a second album. The singer released Fall to Grace on 28 May 2012. The album was preceded by the single "Picking Up the Pieces", which became Faith's highest charting single to date. The album was later certified platinum in the UK by the British Phonographic Industry.  Early life: Faith was born in Hackney to parents who divorced when she was four years old, and was later raised by her mother in Stoke Newington. As a child, Faith was encouraged to dance by her mother and took weekly ballet classes in Dalston. After completing her A-levels at City and Islington College, she went on to study for a degree in contemporary dance at the Northern School of Contemporary Dance. Faith then went on to study for an MA in theatre directing at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, funding her studies by working various part-time jobs, which included: a sales assistant at Agent Provocateur, a singer in a burlesque cabaret, a life model and a magician's assistant.  Music career: 2007-2008: Career beginnings: Faith's first foray into music began when she mimicked famous soul and jazz singers including Etta James and Billie Holiday, whom she admired and cites as influences for her own work. Faith met her managers Jamie Binns and Christian Wåhlberg of Lateral Management in 2007. Binns had been tipped off by the producer Peanut, a client who had recently worked with Faith in his studio and been suitably impressed. He met up with Faith shortly afterwards and was "completely blown away", later saying: "I wasn't sure what this girl was going to do - she was an actress and a singer - but there was just something about her in that artistic realness that when I came out of the meeting I called Christian and said, 'We have to do something with this girl!'" Although Faith had been looking for a manager, she was still wary about entering into a formal agreement with Binns and Wåhlberg. She instead wanted to build their relationship before any contracts were signed. The managers spent six months to a year helping Faith with the A&R process, setting up sessions, and guiding and advising her before Faith was officially signed to Lateral Management. During her time at college, Faith worked in a pub where the manager Dr Vishaal Goel asked her to front his band, which they later called 'Paloma and the Penetrators'. During a performance with the band at a cabaret show, Faith was scouted by an A&R man from Epic Records, who invited Faith to sing for the manager of the label. Twenty minutes into the audition, Faith asked the manager to turn his phone off and when he refused, she walked out. Epic A&R Joanna Charrington told HitQuarters "When she played a showcase for us it was clear that she was a star but the material was a bit generic. She didn't have the hit songs." Not being one hundred percent convinced the label executives decided to wait. During this time Charrington regularly checked Faith's MySpace page "to see if she had something that had a special direction or sound." After several months her attention was eventually piqued by "Broken Doll", which she thought was a well-crafted song with a "fantastic chorus and brilliant lyrics." Charrington told Epic managing director Nick Raphael "I think we should get th
