From which of Shakespeare's plays does this quotation come :- The course of true love never did run smooth ?

No Fear Shakespeare: A Midsummer Night’s Dream: Act 1, Scene 1, Page 5 A Midsummer Night’s Dream I must confess that I have heard so much And with Demetrius thought to have spoke thereof, But being overfull of self-affairs, My mind did lose it.—But, Demetrius, come. And come, Egeus. You shall go with me. I have some private schooling for you both.— For you, fair Hermia, look you arm yourself To fit your fancies to your father’s will, Or else the law of Athens yields you up (Which by no means we may extenuate) To death, or to a vow of single life.— Come, my Hippolyta. What cheer, my love?— Demetrius and Egeus, go along. I must employ you in some business Against our nuptial and confer with you Of something nearly that concerns yourselves. THESEUS I have to admit I’ve heard something about that, and                 meant to ask Demetrius about it, but I was too busy with personal                 matters and it slipped my mind.—Anyway, Demetrius and                 Egeus, both of you, come with me. I want to say a few things to you                 in private.—As for you, beautiful Hermia, get ready to do                 what your father wants, because otherwise the law says that you must                 die or become a nun, and there’s nothing I can do about                 that.—Come with me, Hippolyta. How are you, my                 love?—Demetrius and Egeus, come with us. I want you to do                 some things for our wedding, and I also want to discuss something                 that concerns you both. EGEUS With duty and desire we follow you. EGEUS We’re following you not only because it is our duty,                 but also because we want to. Exeunt. Manent LYSANDER and HERMIA They all exit except LYSANDER and HERMIA. LYSANDER How now, my love? Why is your cheek so pale? How chance the roses there do fade so fast? LYSANDER What’s going on, my love? Why are you so pale? Why have                 your rosy cheeks faded so quickly? 130 Belike for want of rain, which I could well Beteem them from the tempest of my eyes. HERMIA Probably because my cheeks' roses needed rain, which I                 could easily give them with all the tears in my eyes. 135 Ay me! For aught that I could ever read, Could ever hear by tale or history, The course of true love never did run smooth. But either it was different in blood— LYSANDER Oh, honey! Listen, in books they say that true love always faces                 obstacles. Either the lovers have different social                 standings—

Rugby union - for which club team do England internationals Stevens, Farrell and Vunipola play ?

England internationals were 'excited' to get back to Saracens, says Owen Farrell | Rugby Union News | Sky Sports England internationals were 'excited' to get back to Saracens, says Owen Farrell Last Updated: 27/03/16 11:10pm Owen Farrell was instrumental in Saracens' 36-18 victory against Exeter on Saturday Saracens fly-half Owen Farrell says he has found it easy to return to club rugby, following England's Grand Slam Six Nations triumph. Farrell, along with fellow England internationals Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola, Maro Itoje and George Kruis, returned to help Saracens record a vital 36-18 victory over title rivals Exeter on Saturday . Sarries, who returned to the top of the Premiership following the victory at Allianz Park, next play Bath on Friday before facing Northampton in a crucial European Champions Cup quarter-final on April 9. Farrell says he is relishing the upcoming fixtures and believes his side are well placed to challenge for both the English and European titles. "They are big games," said Farrell.  Jamie George says confidence is high in the Saracens camp but is refusing to think about going all the way in the European Rugby Champions Cup "You don't feel like you have to pull yourself out of bed to get up for a game against Exeter, and next week we've got Bath away and then Northampton in the quarter-final in Europe. "It is easy for us to come back into this. Everyone was excited this week to get playing with the boys and to put a good performance in. It is good that we did that. "We've just come back (from England duty) and cracked on with it. "Everyone wants to get better here, and that is all everybody wants to do at England. It is just a case of getting on with what's in front of you. Farrell was part of England's successful Six Nations side, alongside club teammates Billy Vunipola, Mako Vunipola, Maro Itoje and George Kruis "To have nine lads away in a period where there is no break between Premiership games is tough for any team." Meanwhile, Saracens chairman Nigel Wray believes that this year's Six Nations schedule has detracted from the Premiership season. Eddie Jones is expecting a hard time from his Australian compatriots in June Wray thinks that Test matches should be played around club fixtures, as in the norm in the southern hemisphere's Super Rugby competition.   "Our supporters don't get to see some of the best players in the land for probably one-third to one-half of the season," Wray said in his programme notes for the Exeter match. Saracens chairman Nigel Wray has questioned the international rugby schedule's affect on domestic competition "The southern hemisphere has worked it out so that their Super Rugby season does not compete with international series. "It is absolutely essential that we organise our season so that the Premiership is not seen as some second-rate product to the Six Nations, but we play at different times and support, rather than compete with, each other. "We need to work together, not against each other, but the drive has to come from the Premiership clubs, the ones being wounded, the ones seeing their product downgraded." Farrell believes the issue has been exacerbated by the World Cup held in England last year.   Alex Goode celebrates scoring a try against Exeter "It's not something I've thought about. It's different this year," he said. "There have been eight weeks of Premiership games (with the Six Nations players away). Normally there's, what, four? This is a different year because of the World Cup. "It will be a tough period for some clubs, yeah. They are the cards you are dealt. We just get on with what we've got to do."


Which predatory insect, with two pairs of large transparent wings, that are spread while resting, can fly the fastest ? The Australian variety can reach a speed of 36 mph ?

Creatures :: AvatarSpirit.net Anteater-sloth Habitat: Sun Warrior Island. Description: Anteater-sloths are roughly human-sized animals with elongated heads and long skinny tongues like anteaters, with medium-sized bodies and legs ending in claws like sloths. They have only been seen in the Fire Nation island where the Sun Warrior civilization still thrives in secret, and they appear to enjoy the taste of green glue. Real World: Anteaters are mammal species in the suborder Vermilingua which are known for eating ants and termites. They can be as big as eight feet in length (minus the tail) and four feet in height at the shoulder. The anteater has a long thin head and a long flexible tongue, which is covered in sticky saliva, which the anteater flicks very rapidly to sweep up insects into its mouth. Sloths are medium-sized mammals that live in trees, usually hanging upside-down from branches, in the rainforests of Central and South America. They have very slow metabolisms and as such move very slowly. They eat mostly leaves but some species have been known to sometimes eat insects, small reptiles and even birds. Armadillo Lion Habitat: The zoo in Ba-Sing-Se. Description: This large animal has the body and head of a lion. The fur on its feet and lower part of its face is white. Its main trunk and the upper parts of its legs are covered by shaggy brown hair. Its back is topped by an armadillo-like segmented carpace, which extends to cover the top of its head. It has an armadillo-like hairless tail. When startled, the armadillo lion can curl up into an armored ball, much like the three-banded armadillo. Real World: Armadillos are small insectivorous mammals native to the Americas. The armadillo's armor is composed of dermal bones, covered by horny plates on the outer surface. It consists of a broad shield over the shoulders, extending to cover the top of the head, and another shield over the pelvis, the two shields are connected by a number (a different number in different species) of half rings (or 'bands') over the middle and back, giving the armor a measure of flexibility. There are some 20 extant species, the largest of which, the Giant Armadillo, is about the size of a pig. The most wiely dispersed species, and the only on native to the US, is the Nine-Banded Armadillo. The Three-Banded armadillo is the only armadillo that can curl entirely into a ball. Other armadillos escape predators by darting for cover. Armadillos are solitary and nocturnal, and found in various habitat. They have poor vision but have an excellent sense of smell. They are formidabble diggers, and use their strong front claws to excavate grubs and worms, and dig dens for themselves. The african lion (panthera leo), is the world's second largest cat. It has a tawny coat with a white underbody, and long tail with a black tuft at the end. The males have large manes and are generally larger than the females. Lions live in prides, groups consisting of several related females, their young, plus one or several dominant males. Some lions are solitary nomads. The females of the pride do most of the hunting, often working as a group. Lions prefer a savannah habitat with a large prey base: animals most often preyed on are zebras, wildebeest, gazelles, buffalos, warthogs, hartebeests and topis. In antiquity lions ranged all over Africa and much of Eurasia. Today wild lions survive maily in central Africa. The Asiatic subspecies survives only in Sasan-Gir National Park in Northern India. Badger Mole Habitat: The Cave of Two Lovers tunnel leading to Omashu. Description: An enormous mammal, the badger mole has the shovel-shaped claws and long tail associated with the mole and a badger-like body. It has brown fur, a white face, and a white stripe running down its back. The badger mole seems to be the natural predator of the wolfbats and is able to earthbend by slamming its paws into the ground and motioning with its stance to move the dirt around. It also seems to enjoy music and becomes tranquil when it hears music playing. Real World: The badger mole resembles a

The case for a more independent, post-Brexit London is gaining strength https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/davehillblog/2016/jul/11/the-case-for-a-more-independent-post-brexit-london-is-gaining-strength
The capital is far from becoming a separate city-state, but debate about giving it increased autonomy is gathering intensity

Communities secretary Greg Clark has told the Financial Times he is “very keen” to devolve further powers to London and spoken highly of new London mayor Sadiq Khan, who he thinks “has shown himself to be a pragmatist that wants to work well with central government, to the advantage of London and the country”. That’s quite an endorsement, given that Clark’s fellow Conservative Zac Goldsmith spent the first four months of the year claiming that Khan is a dangerous, Corbynite ideologue and apologist for Islamist extremists.

If Clark is surprised by Khan’s approach, he shouldn’t be. The mayor has always been on Labour’s practical rather than its doctrinaire left. As he demonstrated throughout the mayoral campaign, he has long understood that unless London mayors work constructively with London boroughs, London employers and national government they get nowhere. Khan was never going to be Jeremy Corbyn’s creature in City Hall, as Goldsmith’s dire campaign falsely and fruitlessly alleged.

No, because I think that what we have heard from the Remain campaign throughout this whole referendum have been dire warnings of the terrible consequences of the British people just taking control of our own destiny.

And, the truth is, if we vote to Leave we will be in an economically stronger position. We will be able to take back some of the money that we currently give to the European Union and we can invest it in our priorities.

If we leave the European Union, yes there will be bumps i


"Who was the winner of the U.K.'s 2010 ""Apprentice"" series, who recently lost a claim of constructive dismissal against Alan Sugar, after resigning and saying she had been treated like an ""overpaid lackey"" ?"

Apprentice winner Stella English loses case against Lord Sugar | UK news | The Guardian Alan Sugar Apprentice winner Stella English loses case against Lord Sugar Labour peer says he feels vindicated as there was never a case to answer, after tribunal rejects claim of constructive dismissal Lord Sugar and Stella English, who complained she was treated like an ‘overpaid lackey’ while working for the Labour peer. Photograph: Ian West/PA Press Association Friday 12 April 2013 07.48 EDT First published on Friday 12 April 2013 07.48 EDT Close This article is 3 years old Stella English, a former winner of The Apprentice , has lost her claim of constructive dismissal against the millionaire businessman Lord Sugar. English, 34, sued the Labour peer after resigning from the £100,000-a-year job that was her prize for winning series six of the BBC1 show in 2010, complaining that she was treated like an "overpaid lackey". The case was heard at the east London employment tribunal service last month. In a written judgment on Friday, the tribunal said: "There was no dismissal of the claimant – the claimant resigned. Therefore the complaint of unfair constructive dismissal contrary to section 95 Employment Rights Act 1996 fails and is dismissed." Sugar tweeted : "The Tribunal case brought by Stella English against me and my company has been dismissed. A victory for the law against the claim culture." He accused English of attempting to blackmail him when he gave evidence to the tribunal, saying he had no case to answer and the Apprentice winner was after his money. English was given a role with Sugar's IT division, Viglen, as her prize but resigned in May 2011. She claimed the job was "a sham" and a "PR construct". The mother of two, from Whitstable in Kent, said she then felt pressured into taking a new position at Lord Sugar's internet set-top box company, You View. The peer said he was trying to help her as she had complained of being "desperate for money". English claimed to the tribunal that during an unscheduled meeting on 28 September 2011, Sugar told her he would not be renewing her contract and that he did not "give a shit". But rather than his comment being aimed at English, Sugar said he was expressing his disregard at how the matter might play out in the media. He told the tribunal he was being repaid for his kindness by "having to come here and humiliate myself in front of the national media", adding: "I'm here because I have principles and I'm not just going to pay off people. When her instructing solicitor heard my name, it must have been 'Ding, ding, ding – jackpot'." Sugar admitted it made him angry to have "derisory actions" brought against him by English, describing it as tantamount to blackmail. He accused his former apprentice of being a serial liar during the tribunal and said that, with hindsight, he would have neither hired her nor offered her a second position when she initially resigned. In a statement he said: "I am pleased that the tribunal has returned this verdict and feel vindicated in the judgment that myself, my companies, the BBC , the TV production company and my staff acted properly throughout Ms English's employment. "There was never a case for us to answer but her need for money and fame meant that the whole system was subjected to this charade. I have been cleared of a derisory attempt to smear my name and extract money from me. The allegations were without substance, and I believe this case was brought with one intention in mind – the presumption that I would not attend the tribunal, that I would not testify and that I would settle out of court, sending Ms English on her way with a tidy settlement. He said English had underestimated him and her "reputation is now in tatters". "I have principles and I am not going to be forced to compromise them, no matter how much time and money they might cost me," he added. "This case was a sham and a total abuse of a tribunal system, which is there to protect employees who have been mistreated. It is not there to aid those chancing their arm at landing a big pay

Rugby union - for which club team do England internationals Care, Easter and Robshaw play ?

Lancaster on England, Robshaw and the autumn internationals | talkSPORT Lancaster on England, Robshaw and the autumn internationals England coach Stuart Lancaster By Mark Coughlan - @coffers83 Thursday, October 31, 2013 This feature appears in the current edition of Sport magazine. Download the free Sport iPad app from the Apple Newsstand, and follow on Twitter @Sportmaguk Ahead of the Autumn Internationals, we asked the England coach to talk us through his journey so far – and explain the challenges to come with the Six Nations and beyond. THE EARLY DAYS IN THE JOB... “Obviously there was a bit of pressure to do well when I took the role. But, because it was an interim job, and because I understood the culture and knew a lot of the players coming through – I’d been involved coaching the Saxons, worked with the academies and the players, and I’d been involved with the senior team – I had a good understanding of what I felt needed to change and what direction we needed to go to build towards 2015. I guess the ‘interim’ title gave me a freedom to put my mark on it the way that I felt it should have been done. What really motivates me? “Winning the World Cup is a huge motivation, obviously, but so is building that long-term sustained success for England – one that runs right the way through the clubs, the academies, the international age grade teams and through to the senior team. If we can have that, and emerge as a highly respected and feared international team, I think that will be the ultimate success.” THE STUART LANCASTER BLUEPRINT… “All coaches have their own philosophy about the way they want to build the game. Ultimately, when I look at the top end of the club or international game, there are a lot of different ways of playing the game to win – the Lions showed that you can play one way and win, and New Zealand play a different way to achieve success. “What’s really important in teams is that you have a clear philosophy, and people buy into it. So I was very clear on that. The first two games after I took charge, we spent a lot of time talking about what playing for England means and remembering the reason why. We did okay in the first year. But there’s no doubt about it – if you look at the way we were playing the game then, and the way we played in Argentina, for example, it is different. And we’ve shown that in patches – New Zealand and Scotland [this past year] in particular, where we’ve really moved the ball and played some attacking rugby. “There are occasions when you have to win a different way, like in Dublin [in February], but there’s definitely been a development in the way we’ve played the game, which is pleasing. When you lose a game, particularly when you’re an international coach, I can assure you it is very disappointing because you feel like you’ve let the country down. "When I look back on it, though, even going to South Africa and losing two Tests [17-22 and 27-36] by less than a score and drawing the third Test – I’m disappointed to have lost those. But, in the context of where we were, it was a pretty successful tour, and it really helped us to develop into the team we are now.” THE ARGENTINA TOUR… “After the Six Nations, Argentina became a big focus and we had three objectives from that tour. One was to win both Tests. I wanted to finish the season with a record of winning seven of the last eight games, which we achieved. The second was to develop a greater pool of talent in certain positions, so there are more options to choose from. It’s hard sometimes to put inexperienced players into an inexperienced team. I’m constantly wrestling with that in the Six Nations, but now some lads have had more experience training and playing with us because you can’t just bring players into the squad to train. Players like Christian Wade, Marland Yarde and Kyle Eastmond hadn’t really been training with us because of the nature of the Elite Player Squad agreement, so to then put them in the team is a big step. “Now they’ve had that experience, it gives us a great opportunity to create that strength in depth.

INTRODUCTORY NOTE  When it is pointed out that there are over one hundred and seventy different species of Caddis Flies in Britain alone, and several thousands of species of Ichneumons, the difficulty of compressing into one modest volume even a brief survey of British Insect Life will be realised. Whilst the members of the Order Lepidoptera (Butter- flies and Moths) have been accorded a volume of their own,* and thus relieved the congestion somewhat, there remained a mighty host to contend with in the general insecta, and it is with representatives of these that this fifth volume is concerned. It has been the author's aim to treat his subject more or less scientifically, and yet not be dry-as-dust, as a book on insect-life must, to be of any useful service, include scientific names, orders, families, and the rest. Popular books on these insect-marvels, whilst eminently readable, are of little use for identification or reference, and the idea has been to strike a happy medium by producing a tome that shall make a direct appeal to all Nature lovers, and yet have some value from the point of view already men- tioned. As it stands, it is claimed to be the most com- prehensive little volume yet published on British Insects  * Volume IV, of " The Abbey Nature Books."   INTRODUCTORY NOTE   — a multum-in-parvo — and it is hoped that, as a result, these myriads of creatures will receive a greater share of attention than has heretofore been accorded them. It should be pointed out that the classification of Insects is being constantly altered, and whilst to-day the Orders herein included are mostly accepted, to-morrow may see the Fleas, for example, taken out of the Diptera, and placed elsewhere. There seems no finality, partly because we are only gradually acquiring sufficient in- formation for dealing with them, and many puzzles still exist. The aim has been to take the ten chief Orders of Insects represented in Britain, and to deal with them accordingly. The Author has largely followed the " Guide to the Exhibited Series of Insects in the Depart- ment of Entomology " at the British Museum (Natural History), and he has to acknowledge the courtesy of the Trustees of that wonderful Institution in loaning blocks of Figs.

Which is the most Northerly, and largest, island of the Phillipines, on which stands the capital, Manila ?

Philippines Property Investment For Sale   "The second fastest growing nation in Asia."   Comprised of 7,107 islands in the South China Sea, the Philippines are renowned as a stunning holiday destination with white sand beaches and azure seas. However equally the Philippines has been associated with a tirade of bad press involving corruption, dictatorship, terrorism, economic weakness and natural disasters.  Although the undertones of all these problems do ripple throughout this diverse country, much is changing in the archipelagic nation.  The Philippines is now the second fastest growing nation in Asia behind the colossus that is China, thanks to the growth of both service and industry.  The government is also making some progress on improving the problems with poverty, education and health although there is still some way to go.  Infrastructure improvements in transport and the growth of tourism will both continue to help fuel the expansion of this emerging market and help to dispel the high unemployment , acute poverty, poor human rights, slave labour, unequal distribution of wealth, regular terrorism, astronomical food prices and corruption. It is all not gloom and doom for the potential property investor however as property prices are generally low although there are restrictions of foreign ownership and taxes are high for non-resident owners on both rental returns and on sale.  The easiest opportunities for overseas investors are to buy apartments in the capital Manila and the larger Metro Manila region or at the nearby coastal area of Batangas.   Country Guide Geography The Philippines is a collection of 7,107 islands situated just north of Malaysia in the South China Sea. The islands are grouped under three regional heads: Luzon is the largest and most northerly island and the location of the capital, Manila and Quezon City. The second is Mindanao and the third group is the Visayas Islands, of which Cebu is the central island and a prominent tourist destination, most of the population lives on only eleven of the islands. Manila is the country's capital with a diverse style of living from lively and outgoing to subtle and subdued or traditional to modern. The Philippines offers a range of historic sights, landscapes, energetic cities and the rich culture of the Filipino communities. Government The Philippines have a president which is elected for a six year term. The president acts as both head of state and head of government, whilst also taking the role of commander in chief of the armed forces. Language Filipino (official; based on Tagalog) and English (official); eight major dialects - Tagalog, Cebuano, Ilocano, Hiligaynon or Ilonggo, Bicol, Waray, Pampango, and Pangasina.  The Philippines is the only English speakng country in Asia, making it a very popular tourist destination for English speaking nationals.  Filipinos are a very welcoming people particularly to tourists. Standard of Living The Philippines don't have a high standard of living as much of the country lives in extreme poverty with very little money to exist upon. The cost of living in the country is considerably cheaper than living in western countries but finding jobs for foreigners is very difficult so anyone planned on staying in the Philippines for a long period of time must make sure they have enough money to survive the period of their visit. Country Economy With the second fastest growing economy in Asia behind China, the Philippines has alot to offer and is making waves across the developed world with much upgrading of airports, rail networks, roads, bridges and ports in progress. It weathered the international financial downturn better than many of its regional peers and has a flourishing and expanding buisness outsourcing industry and its stock market is Asia's second best performers. Key Industries The Philippines has large export and import markets, trading with many countries around the world.  Many international companies have offices and factories based in the country, with representatives from the automotive, electronic and compu


Geology - what word is used to describe rocks formed from volcanoes or from magma within the earth's crust ?

Eno Geologic Principles Igneous Rocks - Introduction   Igneous rocks, born from molten rock called magma, dominate the western portions of the Eno River.  All igneous rocks originate deep in the Earth as magma that rises toward the Earth’s surface at temperatures ranging from 1,800 to 2,200 degrees Fahrenheit (°F) (1,000 to 1,200 degrees Celsius (°C)).  Igneous rocks are separated into two main categories:  intrusive and volcanic rocks.  Intrusive rocks form when magma solidifies within the Earth’s crust.  Volcanic rocks form when magma solidifies on top of the Earth’s crust on land or in water.   Intrusive Igneous Rocks   Magma that cools and solidifies before reaching the surface of the Earth forms intrusive igneous rocks.  Intrusive rocks are also commonly known as plutonic rocks.  The word plutonic comes from Pluto, the Roman god of the underworld.  Plutonic rocks form bodies known as plutons.  Intrusive rocks cool slowly since they are insulated by the surrounding earth.  This slow cooling allows the chemical elements within the magma to organize themselves into individual crystals that are visible with the naked eye.  Figure 5 shows an example of a circa 630 million-year-old intrusive rock from the Eno River area.  East of Roxboro Road, in the Triassic basin, a relatively young intrusive rock called diabase is present.  The diabase is around 200 million years old and is present as tabular-shaped bodies that either intruded the surrounding sedimentary rocks parallel to the existing layering as sills or cut across the existing layering as dikes (fig. 6).   Figure 5 - Example of a 630 million year old igneous intrusive rock of the Carolina terrane. The rock is a granodiorite (granite-like rock) Figure 6 – Sample of diabase from the Eno River area. Photograph shows typical typical     rust-colored weathering rind.   Volcanic Igneous Rocks (AKA - Extrusive Igneous Rocks)   Volcanic rocks, also born from molten magma, form when hot magma erupts out of a volcanic vent or when magma explodes from volcanoes.  The word volcanic comes from Vulcan, the Roman god of fire.  Geologists studying ancient volcanic regions, like the Eno River area, use modern volcanoes and their deposits as a guide to help them unravel the geologic history.  Modern volcanic terranes are dominated by four basic volcanic deposits: a) lava flows, b) pyroclastic flows, c) tephra, and d) lahars ( fig. 7 ).  The Eno River area has evidence of all four types of these deposits.  Lava flows, pyroclastic flows and tephra deposits are also known as extrusive volcanic rocks.  Extrusive refers to the magma being extruded onto the surface of the Earth.  As magma is extruded on the surface, it cools very quickly and individual chemical elements do not have time to grow into minerals visible to the naked eye and produce a fine-grained or aphanitic rock.  This is in contrast to the intrusive rocks, that cool slowly, and typically have mineral grains that are visible with the naked eye.   Lava flows When hot magma is erupted onto the surface of the Earth, it is called lava.  The word lava is used to describe both moving melted rock, and cooled and hardened rock that originated as lava.  Lava flows are streams of molten rock that pour or ooze from an erupting volcanic vent.  Lava comes in many types defined by the range of minerals in the rock. Millions of years ago, lava flowed in the Eno River area.  One type of rock common in the Eno River area formed from solidified lava is called dacitic lava (fig. 8a).  When molten, dacitic lava is viscous (thick and sticky) and does not flow very far from the volcanic vent.  It forms steep-sided mounds of lava called domes.  Lava domes grow by the extrusion of many individual flows over time.  The lava domes within the crater of Mt. St. Helens in Washington State are examples of recent dome formation (fig 8b). Figure 8a – Example of ancient dacitic lava from the Eno River area. Figure 8b – Modern day example of a dacitic lava dome in the crater of Mt. St. Helens in Washington


"What songwriting partnership, wrote more than 20 hit records, with several of their songs becoming number 1 hits on both sides of the Atlantic, including ""Hound Dog"" , ""Jailhouse Rock"" and Stand by Me ?"

The 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time | Rolling Stone The 100 Greatest Songwriters of All Time SEE THE FULL LIST Your browser does not support the video tag. Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson 100 100 10-1 Björn Ulvaeus and Benny Andersson Benny and Björn had already been a songwriting duo for six years when they teamed up with their girlfriends Anni-Frid Lyngstad and Agnetha Fältskog — who were both Swedish pop stars already — to form Abba. The two of them were hardcore about songwriting: they bought a cottage on the island of Viggsö where they could focus on making their music and lyrics as catchy as humanly possible. "Each song had to be different," Andersson said in 2002, "because, in the Sixties, that's what the Beatles had done. The challenge was to not do another 'Mamma Mia' or 'Waterloo.'" Ulvaeus's lyrics grew progressively darker over the course of Abba's career, even as the band became so unbelievably popular that they were able to release an 18-song greatest hits album simply called Number Ones. After the band split up, Ulvaeus and Andersson went on to collaborate on several musicals — including the Abba jukebox musical, Mamma Mia!, one of the most successful in Broadway history. Tom T. Hall 10-1 Tom T. Hall Hall was an English major who said he learned to write songs by osmosis, soaking up everything from Dickens to Hemingway. His best work was charged with literary irony but unfolded with the ease of spoken language, as when the mini-skirted heroine of "Harper Valley P.T.A." struts into the local junior high and exposes small-town hypocrisy by asking why Mrs. Taylor uses so much ice when her husband's out of town. A Number One pop and country hit for Jeannie C. Riley in 1968, it freed Hall to record his own work, which included songs about burying a man who owed him 40 dollars, mourning the death of the local hero who taught him how to drink and play guitar, and "Trip to Hyden," a journalistic tale of a drive to the scene of a mining disaster that was part Woody Guthrie, part Studs Turkel. One of Nashville's most overtly political songwriters, he was a liberal who recorded "Watergate Blues" and turned a drink in a bar after the 1972 Democratic convention into a Number One country hit called "Old Dogs, Children and Watermelon Wine." "I couldn't write the 'Darling, you left alone and blue' or 'I'm drunk in this bar and crying' [songs]— I just didn't get it," he once said. "And so I started writing these story songs." Otis Blackwell 10-1 Otis Blackwell A Brooklynite who was equally entranced by R&B and country (claiming his favorite singer was C&W mainstay Tex Ritter), Otis Blackwell began his career with 1953's "Daddy Rollin' Stone," which has been covered repeatedly. But large-scale success as a performer eluded him. "I didn't dig it. Got more into writing," he said. When Elvis Presley recorded one of his songs, the result was 1956's epochal "Don't Be Cruel," which was simultaneously Number One on the pop, R&B and country charts. Blackwell subsequently gave Elvis "All Shook Up" and "Return to Sender," and wrote a cluster of hits for other artists, including "Great Balls of Fire" for Jerry Lee Lewis. And even though Blackwell's own singing career never took off, it's been noted that his vocals on demos of songs that Presley recorded were followed faithfully by the King. "At certain tempo, the way Elvis sang was the result of copying Otis' demos," said Blackwell's friend Doc Pomus. Oddly, Blackwell and Presley never met. Taylor Swift 10-1 Taylor Swift Many singer-songwriters reach the point where they have too many great tunes to fit into a live show. Taylor Swift reached that peak before she turned 21. And then she just kept going. She might be the youngest artist on this list — as you may have heard, she was born in 1989, the year Green Day released their first record. But she's already written two or three careers' worth of keepers. "Hi, I'm Taylor," she told the crowds on her Red tour. "I write songs about my feelings. I'm told I have a lot of feelings." Swift's first three albums display her emotional y

What's New Pussycat Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 48 out of 58 people found the following review useful: Enjoy irresponsibly from off in my own little world 20 May 2005 "A sports caris a sign of man's virility. You should get two, maybe." - Peter Sellers, to Woody Allen 'What's New, Pussycat?' is not a great movie. There isn't much in the way of a plot, it's constructed haphazardly, and parts of it don't make a lot of sense. That's part of its charm. 'The Pink Panther', from the same era, also has a large, recognizable, hugely talented cast, and it's a much more coherent, technically proficient film. It is also less funny. Just in case you've never seen anything about the movie before: Peter O'Toole plays Michael, a magazine writer and philanderer in mid-1960's Paris. His dilemma (dramatic conflict, if you will) is Carol (Romy Schneider) a woman he loves so much he wants to be faithful to her, if indeed he can give up all other women and marry her. Other women include Paula Prentiss, Capucine, and Ursula Andress; Woody Allen is the friend with the not so secret crush on Carol. Michael's psychoanalyst is played by Peter Sellers, which should tell you about as much as you need to know. WNP? has a mood, created in large part by the Bacharach score, that I don't want to call innocent because it tries so hard to be naughty, but there it is. The drug culture hadn't yet picked up the cultural grip released by post-50's paranoia, and a sloppy, silly picture like this seemed to be a good idea. And that's enough of that; a movie that contains the line 'it's my wife  the creature that ate Europe' shouldn't be over-analyzed. Enjoy it for what it is. Was the above review useful to you? 40 out of 54 people found the following review useful: Most hilarious sex comedy of the 60's. from London, England 20 November 2000 First movie written by Woody Allen, What's New Pussycat is probably the most hilarious sex comedy of the 60's. The cast is incredible, the script excellent as well as the music written by Burt Bacharach, who has worked several times for the Karl Feldman (e.g. Casino Royale). The movie is focused on the emotional problems of Michael James (Peter O'Toole) who's not ready to get engaged with Carol (Romy Schneider) for fear to have to renounce to the adventure with other girls. To resolve his problem, he will consult Dr Fassbender (Peter Sellers) a psychiatrist that is actually a sex maniac, incredibly envious a the success of Michael. Peter Sellers is wonderfully hilarious in this role and prove again that he is an excellent actor often under exploited. The movie has also loads of secondary characters that will made you cry with laughter : Victor plays by Woody Allen, hilarious as usual, Renee (Capucine) the nymphomaniac, Anna the wagnerian singer (Eddra Gale) or the sex symbol Ursula Andress. The only thing you could reproach this movie is the poor direction by Clive Donner but this not a great deal in comparison to the hilarious Woody Allen's screenplay and cast of wonderful actors. Was the above review useful to you? 39 out of 53 people found the following review useful: Forests and trees from New York City 11 June 2005 Is it significant that the demographic group who most likes What's New, Pussycat? are males under the age of 18 and the group who likes it the least are females over the age of 45? I have to admit that as a male (although far closer to over 45 than under 18), What's New, Pussycat? somewhat resembles my fantasies of utopia, which would involve a lot of wanton polyamory. But I can't judge a film just on how much I like its freewheeling ethics and its regular presentation of beautiful women. What's New, Pussycat? is often funny and occasionally hilarious, but it also has a lot of plot and direction problems, enough so that by the time the big climax arrives, it feels more like just another random sequence instead of the climax it should feel like (subtextual fuel for the anti-polyamory crowd's fire?) The story turns out to be centered on a handsome man, Michael James (Peter O'Toole), who attracts women eve

Zabaglione is an Italian dessert made from eggs, sugar and which fortified wine ?

Zabaglione Recipe : Alton Brown : Food Network Dessert Pizza Recipes 4.2 10 I halved the recipe for the two of us and it was perfectly balanced ... rich and creamy yet light and not too sweet. I just wish I had had some fresh berries to go with it! I used a hand wisk and my arm is tired but it worked well.

You can use whatever wine or liqueur you want but don't call it zabaglione when you do.
 CORY S. 2015-12-13T02:48:01Z item not reviewed by moderator and published The flavor of the Marsala is far too overpowering. I used 1/4 cup and still found it to be far too dominant a component in the dessert. Maybe you need to use a $25+ bottle of Marsala. Next time I will use 1/5th of a cup of Italian Moscato or a white port and 1/5th a cup of heavy cream. Guest 2012-04-08T08:33:42Z item not reviewed by moderator and published Awesome!! I didnt have Marsala so I used Kaluha...very tasty and very easy to make!! Guest 2012-02-04T15:07:34Z item not reviewed by moderator and published First, one reviewer called in Sabayon, this is the French word for the same dessert as Italian Zabaglione. I have made Zabaglione many times in a copper Zabaglione (bowl shaped pan with a whisk, Alton's recipe sounds so much easier using the electric mixer. The only thing I would caution people is to keep the water at a low simmer and not rush finishing the dessert,Continue beating until it is thick and creamy. If the dessert is completed too quickly,enough alcohol will not "burn off" and it will taste too strong ! Bev Cooks Beverly N. 2012-01-26T17:01:43Z item not reviewed by moderator and published This dessert is simple, classy, and insanely delicious. You just don't have an excuse not to make it. I've served recipe this almost a dozen times -- even to my teetotaler Baptist relatives. I've even used it as a substitute for pudding when I make peach or banana pudding. You don't actually have to use marsala for this to be fabulous; our favorite substitution is chardonnay fortified with a little vanilla -- just use whatever wine you enjoy. I make an AA-friendly version with vanilla extract (minimal alcohol and lemonade. The chemistry works, and you still get that great texture and delicate flavor you expect from sabayon. mgckb 2011-11-17T14:25:25Z item not reviewed by moderator and published WOW!!

Marie R. 2011-03-05T21:17:02Z item not reviewed by moderator and published I love the flavor of this. Making it- I was a little unsure. I wanted to try it out..see if it would taste eggy or not. It doesn't taste eggy at all. it is sweet and a nice treat. Reminds me of pudding. Alinka5 2010-07-30T00:05:14Z item not reviewed by moderator and published Not sure why this is rated an "intermediate" recipe. If you can separate eggs, operate the speed setting on a hand mixer, and turn on a stove, then you can make this. The result is foamy, delicious goodness that makes a perfect topping for...well...just about anything. Might even try it on french fries. Just kidding about that last part.

The former PE teacher even slept with her medal by her pillow. “I think I only had an hour’s sleep the first night,” she said. “I haven’t had a drink for the past four years, so I imagine I will be quite a liability when I do.” The triumph marked the culmination of an extraordinary journey for Glover, who had never stepped foot in a rowing boat until 2008, when she was identified by UK Sport’s Sporting Giants programme. Related Articles Silver and bronze heroes 16 Aug 2012 The 26 year-old recalled: “I remember sitting in a room in Bisham Abbey and someone saying, 'A gold medallist in 2012 could be sitting in this room.’ It was quite surreal.” For Stanning, a captain in the Royal Artillery who may soon be on duty in Afghanistan, the sensation was similarly other-worldly. Her school friends at Gordonstoun voted her the girl most likely to be an Olympic champion. “I was into all sports – a jack of all trades but master of none. But maybe somebody saw something in me.” Anthony Joshua Boxing, super-heavyweight Joshua’s first priority after winning his gold medal on the last weekend of the Games was to return to Golders Green, to find his cousin, amateur boxer Benga Ilyemi, who had encouraged him to take up the sport four years ago. Ilyemi had given 'Big Josh’ a start by handing him a pair of borrowed shorts and lending him £25 to buy boots. “My cousin convinced me to box, that’s how I got started,” Joshua said this week. “He is the novice amateur 91kg champion of England. He is not as big as me, he’s a shorter, more powerful guy, like Mike Tyson was. “I’m hoping to persuade him to be competing with me in the heavyweight division for GB in Rio in four years. It would be great to go there together in the team.” As he reflects on his dramatic victory in London’s Excel Centre, Joshua will doubtless take in another viewing of the film, 300, which tells the story of the Spartan king Leonidas and a his tiny force taking on the Persians at Thermopylae in 480BC. Joshua said that watching the film again and again inspired him to remain defiant in the Olympic final. Andrew Triggs Hodge, Tom James, Peter Reed and Alex Gregory Rowing men's four For Britain’s victorious men’s quartet, the giddy days since they won their gold medal at Eton Dorney have brought an overdue reacquaintance with loved ones. “I neglected my responsibilities as a husband,” Triggs Hodge said of his quest for Olympic glory, and in the seconds after victory he pointedly kissed his wedding ring. Reed completed a momentous Olympics by proposing to his fiancée, Frauke Oltmanns, at the closing ceremony, with his team-mates watching. “While everyone was having a big party, I managed to find my way into the crowd and did it all properly. I knew where she was sitting. It was wonderful and we are both thrilled.” James has been busy too,


In what decade was the Scottish National party founded ?

Scottish History - History of the Scottish Nationalist Movement A History of the Scottish Nationalist Movement The Scottish National Party's origins can be traced back to a number of organisations formed in the 1920's, even though political support for Home Rule had existed after a fashion ever since the 1790s. As the 1800s proceeded, the Liberal Party and early Labour pioneers were pledged to Home Rule. Pressure groups grew and withered, but by 1920 there was ample reason to assume that, with the Liberal Party in ruins and Ireland in revolt, Scottish Home Rule was a mere dream. Then... 1921: the Scots National League In 1921 the Scots National League was formed by Ruaraidh Erskine of Marr. Its newspaper, the Scots Independent, was first published in November 1926 by William Giles and his son, Iain, and is now the oldest political journal in Europe. The following link will take you there : Scots Independent Then in August 1922, there appeared The Scottish Chapbook, in which the young poet Christopher Murray Grieve demanded that Scots writers should begin to 'speak with our own voice for our own times.' They should engage in a serious examination of profound themes seen through Scottish eyes. Thanks to Grieve - or 'Hugh MacDiarmid' as he called himself - and a generation or more of men and women inspired by his example, Scottish writing ceased to be provincial and trivial, as it had become for some fifty preceding years, becoming rather the source of a new national intellectual reawakening, reminiscent of the days of the Enlightenment. What followed might be unfamiliar by English standards, but in Europe and Ireland a cultural revival followed by political action was a familiar experience. 1927: Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist Association In 1927, John MacCormick, a law student, formed the Glasgow University Scottish Nationalist Association. The final such group was the Scottish National Movement, led by the poet Lewis Spence. 1928: National Party of Scotland In 1928 The Duke of Montrose, Compton Mackenzie, R B Cunninghame Graham, Christopher Murray Grieve, James Valentine and John MacCormick at the first public meeting of the National Party of Scotland, St Andrews Halls, Glasgow, 1928. Several organisations favouring Home Rule functioned in the 1920s. The Home Rule Association had indeed been formed in the 1890s; and it was now joined in its work by the Scots National Movement and the Scots National League. The former was deeply influenced by cultural developments, while the latter was more anxious to get on with the work of building up a force which could challenge the existing political parties at election time. Just as the Labour Party emerged when enough people saw the need for a class to have a party of its own, so now the League based its appeal on the need for a nation to regain the power to devise policies and arrange priorities in the best interests of the people of that nation. These and other groups combined in 1928 (following upon the rejection of a Home Rule Bill in Parliament in 1927), to form the National Party of Scotland; and later, after another accession of support, the Scottish National Party. These Groups came together in 1928 to form the National Party of Scotland. Leading members of the new party were John MacCormick, John (Manny) MacNicol, Robert Gray, the poet Hugh McDairmid and Lewis Spence. Spence became the first Scottish Nationalist to contest a parliamentary by-election, in 1929, in the North Midlothian Constituency. At the Dumbartonshire by-election in 1930, Robert Gray won a substantial 6,000 votes for the National Party. In 1931, Sir Compton MacKenzie was elected as a Scottish Nationalist Rector of Glasgow University. 1932: Scottish Party The next development was the creation of the pro-Home Rule Scottish Party in 1932, by John Bannerman, Professor Andrew Dewar Gibb, Sir Alexander McEwan (provost of Inverness), Kevin MacDowell and the Duke of Montrose. 1934: the Scottish National Party After another accession of support, from the National Party of Scotland to form the Scottish Na

The Top 175 Essential Films of All Time for LGBT Viewers | Advocate.com Arts & Entertainment film The Top 175 Essential Films of All Time for LGBT Viewers What is the most essential movie ever for LGBT viewers? There can be only one. We've made our pick, and now you can vote on Facebook and Twitter in a "Clash of the Classics!" By Advocate.com Editors June 23 2014 7:33 AM EDT Everyone agrees a set of movies exists that are must-sees for any LGBT viewer. We just don't agree on which ones. Dare ask a gay man for his list, and he's likely to rattle off a few that come to mind quickly and then make amendments to it for the rest of your adult lives. Women don't start with the same list. Some movies are incredibly impactful on depictions of trans people or those living with HIV, or mark major firsts in film. Some are too campy to ignore (at least not if you want to keep up at brunch). The bottom line is there are legions of reasons why a movie could be considered "essential" to the LGBT community. We've ventured into the tricky territory of ranking which are most essential. To accomplish this feat, everyone on staff was asked for a top 10, then we asked readers for theirs, and finally began the arguing — always politely. Television movies aren't included (sorry, The Laramie Project, An Early Frost, and Gia). Television series aren't included either (apologies to Tales of the City, AbFab, and Angels in America). The result is potentially a guide for anyone who wants to examine our roots through film. Oh, and we reserve the right to amend it for the rest of our lives. — The Editors The List: 1. Brokeback Mountain (2005): This Oscar-winning feature film is arguably one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking gay love stories ever told on the silver screen. The chemistry between the late Heath Ledger’s restrained, tortured Ennis Del Mar and Jake Gyllenhaal’s sensitive and tender Jack Twist takes viewers high into Wyoming’s Grand Teton mountains in an intimate portrait of two men brutally confined by the hypermasculine culture in which they exist. After watching the film with its emotional gut-punch of a conclusion, you’ll understand Jack’s lament and agony in telling Ennis “I can’t quit you.” The only thing that compares with the powerful performances turned in by Ledger and Gyllenhaal is director Ang Lee’s stunning visuals — which earned him an Academy Award for best director. —Sunnivie Brydum 2. Milk (2008): This film about the life and death of pioneering gay politician Harvey Milk won two richly deserved Oscars, for Dustin Lance Black's screenplay and Sean Penn's performance in the title role. It does not make Milk a plaster saint, but portrays him as fully and fallibly human as well as a formidable crusader for the rights of all. Directed by Gus Van Sant, it's a film that moves and inspires, while assuring that a new generation will know an important figure in our history. —Trudy Ring   3. Paris Is Burning (1990): This documentary shone a bright light on the African-American, Latino, and LGBT communities involved in the New York City ball culture of the mid-to-late 1980s. Directed by Jennie Livingston, Paris Is Burning brought an underground aspect of LGBT culture to the mainstream. From the use of slang (“serving realness”) to unforgettable quotes (“reading is fundamental”), the film has had a lasting impact on both LGBT and mainstream pop culture. —Jase Peeples   4. Cabaret (1972): There's no doubt that Berlin's Kit Kat Klub is just the most fantastically awesome place this side of World War I. Right at the beginning, the Emcee, played by the tireless Joel Grey, bids the audience a hearty "willkommen" to this world of seedy glamour. Our heroine Sally Bowles — portrayed by an exquisite Liza Minnelli — pops off the screen in a story that follows her trapped in love with two men, while the Nazi regime rises to power. The film is epic, gripping, and entertaining. You will be singing at least one of the songs from this musical for days. Weeks. OK, in my case, years — it's "Two Ladies," "Money, Money," and the title tune. —Michel


"The following lines are from a famous poem by Stevie Smith :- ""Nobody heard him, the dead man But still he lay moaning I was much further out than you thought"" What is the title of the poem ?"

Not Waving but Drowning by Stevie Smith | Poetry Foundation Not Waving but Drowning by Stevie Smith Writing Ideas 1. Think of a situation or time when you felt particularly misunderstood. Try to write a poem that alternates your point of view with the point of view of those around you. How do they perceive and misperceive your actions? 2. The people around the drowned man believed that “he always loved larking”, meaning he enjoyed taking adventures; write a poem that imagines an episode from one of the drowned man’s adventures. How might his feelings contrast with his behavior? 3. “Not Waving but Drowning” takes place in the aftermath of the man’s death. Write a poem that takes place just after an important or traumatic event. How does the crowd feel or react? What about the person, or people, involved in the event itself?   Discussion Questions 1. Who is the speaker of the poem? Who does the speaker align himself or herself with—the drowned man or the gathered crowd? 2. What is the effect of repetition in the poem? By altering the first stanza’s final phrase, what does Smith suggest about the life of the drowned man? 3. Smith’s poem asks us to think about the ways in which we misunderstand or misread the people around us—what opinion does the gathered crowd seem to have of the drowned man? Does the poem suggest that they ever know the truth about him? Can you imagine the type of person he was from the poem’s brief descriptions? Teaching Tips 1. Before teaching, read the poem guide to “Not Waving but Drowning.” Have students think-pair-share a time when things went wrong because their words or gestures were misunderstood by others. 2. Have students read the poem several times. Then have them rewrite the lines of the poem as a script, indicating the speaker of each of the lines. In their character descriptions, they should indicate the relationship to the victim that each speaker might have. For example, “stranger in the crowd,” acquaintance,” etc. Ask who says the lines, “I was much too far out all my life/And not waving but drowning.” Have students share their findings and discuss various readings of the poem. Ask what does this startling image and the observers’ reactions challenge us to think about? 3. After students have had a chance to read “Not Waving but Drowning” for themselves, ask them to read Caitlin Kimball’s poem guide, engaging with the author’s interpretation critically. Ask them to mark striking passages, especially those with which they agree or disagree. Have students discuss their findings and ask what aspect of the human experience does this poet challenge us to examine? Students may share personal observations of the ways in which people are misinterpreted or how signs of struggle are often misread. 4. Have students view Pieter Bruegel’s painting, “ Landscape with the Fall of Icarus ” and read W.H. Auden’s “Musée des Beaux Arts,” and discuss how the painting relates to the poem. Then have them examine the difference between this commentary on an unnoticed drowning and Stevie Smith’s. Ask why did these poets choose such a subject? Why did Pieter Bruegel? Why might this subject be important to these three artists? What might this discussion suggest about the way artists see their role in our lives? Ask students to consider how they see the role of artists in our lives. Not Waving but Drowning Nobody heard him, the dead man,    But still he lay moaning: I was much further out than you thought    And not waving but drowning. Poor chap, he always loved larkinglarking Playing tricks, kidding, fooling around. And now he’s dead It must have been too cold for him his heart gave way,    They said. Oh, no no no, it was too cold always    (Still the dead one lay moaning)    I was much too far out all my life    And not waving but drowning.

It shows the despair and uselessness he felt, in particular, feeling no use in living. Some Techniques; 4. sibilance \"scribbling on the sky\" | Posted on 2012-07-17 | by a guest .: :. further to previous comments, the power of this piece, for me, is that (and having experienced grief myself I know this to be true) there is within me on reading it a recognition of how, at the time we feel it, grief is overblown and our world really does feel as though it is ending... I struggle with the view that the writer intended it to be seen as 100% sarcastic, although I accept that the title \"funeral blues\" suggests a level of levity... \"The Blues\" in musical terms was not slight sadness but real, deep distress. I struggle with the poem as sarcasm because of how the poem makes me feel on reading it... it certainly helped me cope with real feelings of distress on the loss of a relationship with a brother. It can be seen from many angles and like all good poetry is the stronger for its ambiguity. Ultimately its full meaning is not one dimentional rather it depends on what meaning the reader imposes on the words. | Posted on 2012-05-05 | by a guest .: :.

People in the world get the loan from various creditors, just because this is simple. | Posted on 2012-01-21 | by a guest .: :. During the poem, W.H Auden is distraught about the loss of a lover. It is filled with grief and sadness. He is inconsolable. W.H Auden pleads with us to �stop all the clocks�, an impossible act and one that reiterates his utter distress. He commands all happenings such as the tinkling of piano keys and the ringing of a telephone to halt; he believes that everybody should join him in his mourning. It is not the time for others to enjoy themselves. Just the mere thought agonises W.H Auden. He feels as if everyone should share his deepening grief. He continues to emphasise his desperate need for public mourning by asking aeroplanes to commemorate him and traffic policemen to wear black gloves.
