[PAR] Credit: PRNewsFoto/RYP Australia. [PAR] New images uncover 25 secrets about the Mona Lisa, including proof that Leonardo da Vinci gave her eyebrows, solving a long-held mystery. [PAR] The images are part of an exhibition, "Mona Lisa Secrets Revealed," which features new research by French engineer Pascal Cotte and debuts in the United States at the Metreon Center in San Francisco, where it will remain through the end of this year. The Mona Lisa showcase is part of a larger exhibition called "Da Vinci: An Exhibition of Genius." [PAR] Cotte, founder of Lumiere Technology, scanned the painting with a 240-megapixel Multi-spectral Imaging Camera he invented, which uses 13 wavelengths from ultraviolet light to infrared. The resulting images peel away centuries of varnish and other alterations, shedding light on how the artist brought the painted figure to life and how she appeared to da Vinci and his contemporaries. [PAR] "The face of Mona Lisa appears slightly wider and the smile is different and the eyes are different," Cotte said. "The smile is more accentuated I would say." [ Why Does Mona Lisa's Smile Change? ] [PAR] Mona Lisa mysteries [PAR] A zoomed-in image of Mona Lisa's left eye revealed a single brush stroke in the eyebrow region, Cotte said. [PAR] "I am an engineer and scientist, so for me all has to be logical. It was not logical that Mona Lisa does not have any eyebrows or eyelashes," Cotte told LiveScience. "I discovered one hair of the eyebrow." [PAR] Another conundrum had been the position of the subject's right arm, which lies across her stomach. This was the first time, Cotte said, that a painter had rendered a subject's arm and wrist in such a position. While other artists had never understood da Vinci's reasoning, they copied it nonetheless. [ Photos: Anatomy Meets Art in Da Vinci's Drawings ] [PAR] Cotte discovered the pigment just behind the right wrist matched up perfectly with that of the painted cover that drapes across Mona Lisa 's knee. So it did make sense: The forearm and wrist held up one side of a blanket. [PAR] "The wrist of the right hand is up high on the stomach. But if you look deeply in the infrared you understand that she holds a cover with her wrist," Cotte said. [PAR] Behind a painting [PAR] The infrared images also revealed da Vinci's preparatory drawings that lie behind layers of varnish and paint, showing that the Renaissance man was also human. [PAR] "If you look at the left hand you see the first position of the finger, and he changed his mind for another position," Cotte said. "Even Leonardo da Vinci had hesitation." [PAR] Other revelations include: [PAR] Lace on Mona Lisa's dress [PAR] The transparency of the veil shows da Vinci first painted a landscape and then used transparency techniques to paint the veil atop it. [PAR] A change in the position of the left index and middle finger. [PAR] The elbow was repaired from damage due to a rock thrown at the painting in 1956. [PAR] The blanket covering Mona Lisa's knees also covers her stomach. [PAR] The left finger was not completely finished. [PAR] A blotch mark on the corner of the eye and chin are varnish accidents, countering claims that Mona Lisa was sick. [PAR] And the Mona Lisa was painted on uncut poplar board, contrary to speculations. [PAR] In the larger picture, Cotte said when he stands back and looks up at the enlarged infrared image of Mona Lisa, her beauty and mystique are apparent. [PAR] "If you are in front of this huge enlargement of Mona Lisa, you understand instantly why Mona Lisa is so famous," Cotte said. He added, it's something you have to see with your own eyes.[DOC] [TLE] Mona Lisa, painted from 1503 to 1507 - Leonardo DaVinciMona

Air defence in naval tactics, especially within a carrier group, is often built around a system of concentric layers with the aircraft carrier at the centre. The outer layer will usually be provided by the carrier's aircraft, specifically its AEW&C aircraft combined with the CAP. If an attacker is able to penetrate this layer, then the next layers would come from the surface-to-air missiles carried by the carrier's escorts; the area-defence missiles, such as the RIM-67 Standard, with a range of up to 100 nmi, and the point-defence missiles, like the RIM-162 ESSM, with a range of up to 30 nmi. Finally, virtually every modern warship will be fitted with small-calibre guns, including a CIWS, which is usually a radar-controlled Gatling gun of between 20mm and 30mm calibre capable of firing several thousand rounds per minute.

Anatalya, Turkey (CNN) -- Lapped by the pristine waters of the Mediterranean Sea, the Turkish coastal city of Antalya attracts millions of sun-seeking tourists each year, beguiling them with its sweeping scenery, picture-perfect beaches and blazing sunshine.
It is this abundance of sunlight -- Turkey receives greater annual solar radiation energy than Spain and Germany according to estimates by the Joint Research Center of the European Commission -- that has prompted Antalya's local authorities to push ahead with plans to harness the city's solar potential.
"We aim to make Antalya the leader of solar power generation of Turkey and to promote it to the world as 'The Solar City,'" says Antalya's mayor Mustafa Akaydin.
The declaration comes as the sun-soaked city, located some 700 kilometers south of Istanbul, starts rolling out its ambitious plans to use solar power to generate electricity, emulating the successful example of cities like Barcelona, Spain, which has put in place regulations requiring solar panels to be fitted to all large new buildings.
In April, the city opened the "Antalya Solar House," an ecological research and educational center designed by architectural firm Temiz Dunya to raise awareness about the benefits of renewable energy and promote eco-tourism.
The zero-emission structure, which was built with ecological materials, generates most of its energy using photovoltaic panels (22kW in total) as well as a windmill and heat pumps.
'Living' buildings could inhale city carbon emissions
These systems are supplemented with gray-water recycling -- re-use of used water from bathtubs, showers and so on. -- and passive solar heating features such as a greenhouse to collect heat during the winter months. It also has a green roof that facilitates rainwater harvesting and acts as heat insulation.
"The building is also very significant because it is Turkey's first energy positive building," says architect Mehmet Bengu Uluengin, the designer behind the Solar House. "It actually produces more energy than it consumes."
The architect says the structure has fascinated the local population while helping to change perceptions that buildings can only be big energy consumers.
"The idea that having a building that not only provides its own energy but actually gives some back is a totally new phenomenon for Turkish people," says Uluengin, who is also a professor at Istanbul's Bahcesehir University. "They like it, they find it very intriguing."
Local authorities expect around a thousand people to visit Solar House each month, including students, green investors and hotel owners. They say the project is just the first part of a long-term initiative to turn Antalya into a climate-friendly city -- other initiatives include a waste management facility that will convert the city's sewage into biogas.
"Antalya has already been the pioneering city of green energy (in Turkey)," says Akaydin. "We are trying to make Antalya the leader of agriculture, tourism, park and garden lighting, energy generating and (solar) panel producing."
While educating the local population about achieving energy efficiency, Uluengin says the technology used in the Solar House can also help Antalya -- Turkey's biggest coastal resort and home to several five-star hotels -- to become an ideal destination for eco-conscious tourists.
"There are several hotels which are considering green energy to attract customers," he says.
"A hotel which can say that ... if you're staying here your carbon footprint is zero for the duration of your stay -- this is becoming very interesting for people worldwide," he adds.
For the moment, however, sunny Antalya is still far from being branded a green resort -- local authorities estimate that eco-visitors account for just 1% of the city's tourism.
Mayor Akaydin says that Turkey is missing a trick by failing to exploit its clean energy capabilities.
"Turkey has a very big potential in solar and wind energy. Unfortunately, the insufficient and wrong policies of the government prevent the promotion of them," he says.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- Twenty-seven million new cancer cases are expected by 2030, according to a report released Tuesday by the World Health Organization's cancer research agency.
Rates for breast cancer, shown here under a microscope, have tripled in some Asian countries.
That compares to 12 million new cases in 2007, the report found. The group forecast a 1 percent increase globally each year, with emerging economies such as China, Russia and India being hit the hardest.
The major culprit: tobacco.
"About 1.3 billion people smoke globally, making tobacco the major avoidable cause of death and disease worldwide," the report found.
Experts say less developed countries are especially vulnerable, predicting a 38 percent increase in those regions by 2030. Watch more on the report »
Tobacco killed 100 million people in the world last century and will kill a billion in the 21st century, unless changes are made, said John R. Seffrin, chief executive officer at the American Cancer Society, Tuesday.
Besides smoking, other causes for the rise in the disease include high-fat diets including fast food and decreased physical activity, reflective of increasingly western lifestyles, the report found.
In addition, the rate of breast cancer has doubled or tripled in countries like Japan, Singapore and Korea, according to the report. In Africa, 518,000 people have died from cancer since the start of 2008 -- cervical cancer being the leading cancer killer among women, the report found.
But there is good news for some Western nations. Cancer mortality rates are falling in Great Britain and the United States, said Seffrin.
Effective cancer treatment in developing countries, experts say, depends on prevention and more data.
"Awareness of the global cancer burden pandemic and its causes will help establish and enforce policies, resources and programs to control cancer and tobacco, and to de-stigmatize cancer," according to the WHO report.
CNN's Miriam Falco contributed to this report.

[DOC] [TLE] The World In 1964 - San Carlos High School Class of 1964San Carlos High School Class of 1964 [PAR] After military service as commander of the Motor Torpedo Boat PT-109 and Motor Torpedo Boat PT-59 during World War II in the South Pacific , Kennedy represented Massachusetts's 11th congressional district in the U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953 as a Democrat . Thereafter, he served in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1960. Kennedy defeated then Vice President and Republican candidate Richard Nixon in the 1960 U.S. presidential election , one of the closest in American history. He was the second-youngest President (after Theodore Roosevelt ), the first President born in the 20th century, and the youngest elected to the office, at the age of 43. [3] [4] Kennedy is the only Catholic , and the first Irish American , president, and is the only president to have won a Pulitzer Prize . [5] Events during his presidency included the Bay of Pigs Invasion , the Cuban Missile Crisis , the building of the Berlin Wall , the Space Race , the African American Civil Rights Movement and early stages of the Vietnam War . [PAR] Kennedy was assassinated on November 22, 1963, in Dallas , Texas. Lee Harvey Oswald was charged with the crime but was shot and killed two days later by Jack Ruby before any trial. The FBI , the Warren Commission , and the House Select Committee on Assassinations (HSCA) concluded that Oswald was the assassin, with the HSCA allowing for the probability of conspiracy based on disputed acoustic evidence. Today, Kennedy continues to rank highly in public opinion ratings of former U.S. presidents. [6] [PAR] President Johnson announces the War On Poverty [PAR] The War on Poverty is the name for legislation first introduced by United States President Lyndon B. Johnson during his State of the Union address on January 8, 1964. This legislation was proposed by Johnson in response to a national poverty rate of around nineteen percent. The speech led the United States Congress to pass the Economic Opportunity Act , which established the Office of Economic Opportunity (OEO) to administer the local application of federal funds targeted against poverty. [PAR] As a part of the Great Society , Johnson's belief in expanding the government's role in social welfare programs from education to healthcare was a continuation of Franklin Delano Roosevelt 's New Deal , which ran from 1933 to 1935, and the Four Freedoms of 1941. [PAR] The concept of a war on poverty waned after the 1960s. Deregulation, growing criticism of the welfare state , and an ideological shift to reducing federal aid to impoverished people in the 1980s and 1990s culminated in the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act of 1996, which, Bill Clinton claimed, "end[ed] welfare as we know it." Nonetheless, the legacy of the War on Poverty remains in the continued existence of such federal programs as Head Start , Volunteers in Service to America , and Job Corps . [PAR] [PAR] In their native United Kingdom during 1962–1970, the rock group The Beatles released 12 studio albums , 13 EPs , and 22 singles . However, the band's international discography is complicated, due to different versions of their albums sometimes being released in other countries, particularly during their early years on Capitol Records in the United States . The Beatles' discography was originally released on the vinyl format, with full-length long plays (LPs), shorter EPs, and singles (SPs). Over the years, the collection has also been released on cassette , 8-track , compact disc (CD), and on a USB flash drive in MP3 and FLAC format. Although their output has come to include vault items and remixed mash-ups , the core Beatles discography recorded during the 1960s is 217 tracks and approximately ten hours of music. [PAR] Most of The Beatles' albums were released in both mono and stereo . Since mono record players were the most common at the time, The Beatles and their regular producer George Martin gave more time and attention to preparing mono mixes of their recordings. The Beatles had only involved themselves in creating the mono mixes for the first four albums; the stereo mixes were prepared without their supervision. However

(CNN) -- Drug violence in the Mexican state of Chihuahua left 24 people dead in the span of 24 hours this weekend, the state attorney general's office said Sunday.
The killings were scattered over four locations throughout the state, with eight dead in Juarez, 10 killed in the capital of Chihuahua, five killed in Cuauhtemuc and one killed in Parral.
All the slayings occurred in public places, with the killings in Cuauhtemuc occurring in a bar, said Carlos Gonzalez, a spokesman for the Chihuahua state attorney general.
The killings took place between Saturday afternoon and Sunday morning, Gonzalez said.
The victims -- all male -- ranged in age between 18 and 25 years old.
No other details about the killings or the victims were immediately available.
"This is an indicator of the incrementally increasing war between the two cartels battling for Juarez Plaza, the state's drug trafficking corridor," Gonzalez said, referring to an ongoing battle between the Sinaloa and Juarez cartels for dominance in the area. Juarez Plaza is a major thoroughfare through the area.
"I can't give you a reason why the violence is picking up the last week of April going into this month," Gonzalez added.
Some Mexican news organizations have reported that the Sinaloa Cartel had defeated the rival Juarez organization but Gonzalez said, "There is no winner to this war."
The spate of weekend killings followed another bloody week in the Ciudad Juarez area.
On Wednesday, at least 15 people were killed in drug-related violence in Juarez, authorities said.
The slayings included four people whose bodies were found at one location, another three -- one of them a woman -- who were found slain at a second location, and another eight victims who were killed at a bar, police spokesman Jacinto Seguro said.
On Tuesday, 10 people were killed, Seguro said, including three who were shot outside a supermarket. Another victim was killed outside a shopping mall.
In all, 25 people were killed between Tuesday and Wednesday, Seguro said.
Ciudad Juarez is the most violent city in Mexico, with more than 2,600 drug-related deaths in 2009. No official numbers are available for this year, but more than 500 killings have been reported by local media. Some reports have the figures as high as 810 in Juarez this year.
According to a report released in April by the Mexican government, Chihuahua state is Mexico's hardest-hit state by drug violence, with 6,757 people killed since the start of the drug war at the end of 2006.

<P> Needham saw an advertisement for the soon - to - be-released 1977 Pontiac Trans Am and knew right away that would be the Bandit 's car , or , as Needham referred to it , a character in the movie . He contacted Pontiac and an agreement was made that four 1977 Trans Ams and two Pontiac LeMans 4 - door sedans would be provided for the movie . The Trans Ams were actually 1976 - model cars with 1977 front ends . ( From 1970 to 1976 , both the Firebird / Trans Am and Chevrolet Camaro had two round headlights , and in 1977 , the Firebird / Trans Am was changed to four square headlights , while the Camaro remained unchanged . ) The decals were also changed to 1977 - style units , as evidenced by the engine size callouts on the hood scoop being in liters rather than cubic inches , as had been the case in 1976 . The hood scoop on these cars says `` 6.6 LITRE '' , which in 1977 would have denoted an Oldsmobile 403 - equipped car or a non W - 72 , 180 hp version of the 400 Pontiac engine . All four of the cars were badly damaged during production , one of which was all but destroyed during the jump over the dismantled bridge . The Trans Am used for the dismantled bridge jump was equipped with a booster rocket , the same type that was used by Evel Knievel during his failed Snake River Canyon jump . Needham served as the driver for the stunt ( standing in for Reynolds ) while Lada St. Edmund was in the same car ( standing in for Sally Field during the jump ) . By the movie 's ending , the final surviving Trans Am and LeMans were both barely running and the other cars had become parts donors to keep them running . The Burdettes ' car is a 1974 Cadillac Eldorado convertible painted in a `` Candy Red '' color scheme , and is seen briefly at the beginning of the movie and as Bandit , Snowman , Fred , and Frog make their escape in the final scene . </P>

[PAR] [TLE] Saint Lucy's Day [SEP] Saint Lucy's Day, also called the Feast of Saint Lucy, is a Christian feast day celebrated on 13 December in Advent, commemorating Saint Lucy, a 3rd-century martyr under the Diocletianic Persecution, who according to legend brought "food and aid to Christians hiding in the catacombs" using a candle-lit wreath to "light her way and leave her hands free to carry as much food as possible". Her feast once coincided with the Winter Solstice, the shortest day of the year before calendar reforms, so her feast day has become a Christian festival of light. Falling within the Advent season, Saint Lucy's Day is viewed as an event signaling the arrival of Christmastide, pointing to the arrival of the Light of Christ in the calendar, on Christmas Day. [PAR] [TLE] Lutzelfrau [SEP] Lutzelfrau is a witch in German folklore who gives gifts — particularly apples, nuts and dried plums — to children on Saint Lucy's Day (December 13).

Baptists have faced many controversies in their 400-year history, controversies of the level of crises. Baptist historian Walter Shurden says the word "crisis" comes from the Greek word meaning "to decide." Shurden writes that contrary to the presumed negative view of crises, some controversies that reach a crisis level may actually be "positive and highly productive." He claims that even schism, though never ideal, has often produced positive results. In his opinion crises among Baptists each have become decision-moments that shaped their future. Some controversies that have shaped Baptists include the "missions crisis", the "slavery crisis", the "landmark crisis", and the "modernist crisis".

On January 25, 1918 the third meeting of the All-Russian Congress of Soviets renamed the unrecognized state the Soviet Russian Republic. The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was signed on March 3, 1918, giving away much of the land of the former Russian Empire to Germany in exchange for peace during the rest of World War I. On July 10, 1918, the Russian Constitution of 1918 renamed the country the Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic. By 1918, during the Russian Civil War, several states within the former Russian Empire seceded, reducing the size of the country even more.

The Slovenian countryside displays a variety of disguised groups and individual characters among which the most popular and characteristic is the Kurent (plural: Kurenti), a monstrous and demon-like, but fluffy figure. The most significant festival is held in Ptuj (see: Kurentovanje). Its special feature are the Kurents themselves, magical creatures from another world, who visit major events throughout the country, trying to banish the winter and announce spring's arrival, fertility, and new life with noise and dancing. The origin of the Kurent is a mystery, and not much is known of the times, beliefs, or purposes connected with its first appearance. The origin of the name itself is obscure.

Black wax seal near lower edge. Robert Banks Jenkinson (1770-1828) was Britain's Prime Minister longer than anyone since the unification with Ireland, serving in that office from 1812 to 1827. A Tory who had been elected to the House of Commons in 1790, but had to wait until the following year to attain the minimum age to attend sessions, he served as Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary, and Secretary of State for War and Colonies before becoming P. M. When his father, Charles Jenkinson, a close advisor of King George III, became the First Earl of Liverpool in 1796, Jenkinson earned the honorific title of Lord Hawkesbury. Upon his father's death in 1803, Jenkinson inherited the earldom, moving from Commons to the House of Lords. As Prime Minister, Jenkinson oversaw the War of 1812 with the US, the victorious conclusion of the Napoleonic Wars and the Congress of Vienna. A conservative, Jenkinson, now Earl of Liverpool, adopted repressive measures to curb the unrest accompanying the economic slump following the end of the wars, and the demands for broader male suffrage.

Between 10 and 17 October 1757, a Hungarian general, Count András Hadik, serving in the Austrian army, executed what may be the most famous hussar action in history. When the Prussian King Frederick was marching south with his powerful armies, the Hungarian general unexpectedly swung his force of 5,000, mostly hussars, around the Prussians and occupied part of their capital, Berlin, for one night. The city was spared for a negotiated ransom of 200,000 thalers. When Frederick heard about this humiliating occupation, he immediately sent a larger force to free the city. Hadik, however, left the city with his Hussars and safely reached the Austrian lines. Subsequently, Hadik was promoted to the rank of Marshal in the Austrian army.

Communications in Somalia encompasses the communications services and capacity of Somalia. Telecommunications, internet, radio, print, television and postal services in the nation are largely concentrated in the private sector. Several of the telecom firms have begun expanding their activities abroad. The Federal government operates two official radio and television networks, which exist alongside a number of private and foreign stations. Print media in the country is also progressively giving way to news radio stations and online portals, as internet connectivity and access increases. Additionally, the national postal service is slated to be officially relaunched in 2013 after a long absence. In 2012, a National Communications Act was also approved by Cabinet members, which lays the foundation for the establishment of a National Communications regulator in the broadcasting and telecommunications sectors.

[DOC] [TLE] Theodor Geisel Biography - childhood, children, name ...Theodor Geisel Biography - childhood, children, name, story, death, wife, school, young, book, information, born [PAR] Theodor Geisel Biography [PAR] La Jolla, California [PAR] American children's book author and illustrator [PAR] Theodor Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, wrote the popular children's books The Cat in the Hat, Green Eggs and Ham, Horton Hatches the Egg, and many more. As Dr. Seuss, Geisel brought a whimsical touch and a colorful imagination to the world of children's books. [PAR] Theodor Geisel. [PAR] . [PAR] Childhood and early career [PAR] Theodor Geisel was born on March 2, 1904, in Springfield, Massachusetts. His father owned a brewery until the onset of Prohibition, a time in the 1920s when buying and selling alcohol was made illegal. Geisel's father then took a job as superintendent of city parks, which included the local zoo. There, young Theodor spent many days drawing the animals and eventually developing his own unique style. Though Geisel would later gain fame because of his unique artistic style, he never once had an art lesson. [PAR] After graduating high school, Geisel went on to graduate from Dartmouth College in 1925, and later studied at the Lincoln College of Oxford University in England. After dropping out of Oxford, he traveled throughout Europe, mingling with émigrés (those living abroad) in Paris, including writer Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961). Eventually returning to New York, he spent fifteen years in advertising before joining the army and making two Oscar-winning documentaries, "Hitler Lives" and "Design for Death," which he made with his wife, Helen Parker Geisel. He would also win an Oscar for his animated cartoon "Gerald McBoing Boing"(1951). Also at this time Geisel began drawing and selling his cartoons to national magazines, including Vanity Fair and the Saturday Evening Post. Later he worked as an editorial cartoonist for PM newspaper in New York. [PAR] First books [PAR] Geisel began writing the verses of his first book, And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street, in 1936 during a rough sea passage. But success did not come easy for the young author, as Mulberry Street was rejected by twenty-nine different publishers before it was finally accepted. Published in 1937, the book won much praise, largely because of its unique drawings. [PAR] All of Geisel's books, in fact, feature crazy-looking creatures that are sometimes based on real animals, but which usually consist of such bizarre combinations of objects as a centipede and a horse and a camel with a feather duster on its head. Unlike many puppeteers and cartoonists who have capitalized on their creations by selling their most familiar images to big-time toy-makers, Dr. Seuss concentrated his efforts on creating interesting books. [PAR] In May 1954, after a string of successful books, Geisel published what would become his most famous book, The Cat in the Hat. Legend has it that The Cat in the Hat was created, in part, because of a bet Geisel made with a publisher who said he could not write a complete children's book with less than 250 words. The Cat in the Hat came in at 223 words. In 1960 Geisel published his second-most successful book, Green Eggs and Ham, which used only fifty words. In 1958, from the success of his children's books, Geisel founded Beginner Books, which eventually became part of Random House. [PAR] "Basically an educator" [PAR] Admired among fellow authors and editors for his honesty and hard work, the Pulitzer Prize-winning author, according to Ruth MacDonald in the Chicago Tribune, "perfected the art of telling great stories with a vocabulary as small as sometimes fifty-two or fifty-three words." [PAR] "[Geisel] was not only a master of word and rhyme and an original and eccentric artist," Gerald Harrison, president of Random House's

[DOC] [TLE] benzene - MOTM - HTML-only versionbenzene - MOTM - HTML-only version [PAR] Also available: JMol and VRML versions. [PAR] History [PAR] Michael Faraday was the first scientist to discover benzene in 1825. He extracted benzene from cylinders of compressed illuminating gas which had been collected from the pyrolysis of whale oil. Faraday called this newly discovered liquid bicarburet of hydrogen. [PAR] Recognition of Faraday's enormous contribution to the sciences has been recognised in many ways, from his appearance on �20 notes to his depiction on stamps in various countries. [PAR] In 1833, Eilhard Mitscherlich a German chemist produced what he called benzin via the distillation of benzoic acid (from gum benzoin ) and calcium oxide (lime). [PAR] Decarboxylation of benzoic acid to yield benzene [PAR] In 1845 benzene was found in coal tar by the English chemist Charles Mansfield, working under August W. Hofmann . Four years later, Mansfield began the first industrial-scale production of benzene, based on the coal-tar method. Coal tar is made by destructively distilling coal and is still a source of benzene today. [PAR] Benzene was first synthesized in a laboratory in 1870 by Pierre Berthelot who passed acetylene through a red hot tube. [PAR] Physical Properties [PAR] Benzene is a non-polar colourless, inflammable liquid, with a sweet and distinctive aromatic smell that some find pleasant. But beware as benzene is highly toxic and absorbed through the skin. Benzene has a melting point of 5.5°C and a boiling point of 80°C and is therefore a liquid at room temperature. Benzene is immiscible with water and will form the upper layer since it has a lower density of 0.879 g/cm3. Benzene is a very good solvent for organic compounds, but it is safer to use its derivative methylbenzene (toluene). [PAR] Structure [PAR] For a quarter of a century following its discovery, benzene's structure continued to puzzle the world's greatest scientists. It was known to have a molecular weight of 78 which was due to the presence of six carbon atoms (6 x 12) plus six hydrogen atoms (6 x 1). August Kekule was one of the organic chemists who was working on the structural elucidation of benzene. He originally placed all six carbon atoms in a row but soon realised that this did not make sense for where was he to put all the hydrogen atoms? The story goes that whilst trying to solve the problem of benzene's Kekule had a daydream whilst dozing on a London bus. [PAR] The old saying goes that: "you wait ages for one bus, then three come along at once". In Kekule's case, six came along. [PAR] Kekule visualized a snake with its tail in its mouth that was spinning around. That snake was benzene, biting itself in the tail, which made sense if it possessed alternating single and double bonds. Kekule's dream is shown as an interesting animation . Kekule's dream of a snake eating its own tail, is an ancient symbol called the Ouroboros which represents the cyclicality of life. One should bear in mind that this 'story' first appeared in the journal Berichte der Durstigen Chemischen Gesellschaft, which is a parody of the respected journal Berichte der Deutschen Chemischen Gesellschaft. What is clear is that Kekule's understanding of the tetravalent nature of carbon was built on the foundation of the often overlooked work of Archibald Scott Couper . Every student who has ever drawn covalent bonds as lines on paper joining atoms is following in Couper's footsteps. The former East Germany (DDR) commemorated the work of Kekule on a stamp which shows his structure of benzene. [PAR] Kekule drew what he believed to be two identical structures for benzene and now he needed to find proof that his 'daydream' was correct. Rod Beavon of Westminster School has written an online biography of Kekule . [PAR] Kekule structures for benzene [PAR] It is important to realise that benzene has a planar structure. The distance between adjacent carbon atoms found by X-ray diffraction is 0.139 nm (139 picometres). This is a distance which is intermediate between the longer single C-C bonds (147 pm) and

[DOC] [TLE] The Tragedy of Samson - 4 - Delilah - Bible Fellowship UnionThe Tragedy of Samson - 4 - Delilah [PAR] The Tragedy of Samson [PAR] 4 - Delilah [PAR] Samson had now exercised rulership over Israel for twenty years without having made any contribution to the moral or religious progress of his people. The period was one of stagnation. Israel remained uneasily under the yoke of her Philistine masters, although it is very probable that while Samson lived the Philistines left them more or less alone, probably contenting themselves with the exacting of a certain amount of tribute in kind - wheat, olives, grapes, cattle, and so on. It was probably not as heavy a bondage as they had known in earlier times, and for that the credit went to Samson. It was not a time of religious revival; Israel in the main went on worshipping other gods and no voice was raised in the land calling them back to the God of their fathers. [PAR] The blame for this has to be laid at the door of the ruler. Samson had every possible advantage fitting him for the role of a national religious leader as well as political ruler. His Nazarite upbringing and early training coupled with unusual physical attributes could have marked him out as a leader whom all would follow. Had the power of God been behind him he would have been irresistible; but God can work only through men who are utterly and sincerely devoted to him, and Samson was not. He was too much a slave to his own fleshly desires and passions. It is impossible to read the story without realising that the women in Samson's life were the cause of his undoing and his failure to achieve what otherwise would have been a memorable destiny. Now after twenty years of unchallenged rule we find him entangled with yet another woman, Delilah of Sorek in Judah, forty miles from his home village of Zorah and not far from Etam where he had taken refuge from the pursuing Philistines twenty years earlier. [PAR] The nationality of Delilah is not known. She was not necessarily a Philistine � living in Judah so far from Philistine territory it is in fact unlikely that she was a member of that race. It has been thought that she was probably an Israelite, but there is something that does not ring true in the idea of any Israelite woman, however abandoned, betraying the hero of her nation to the unbelieving Philistines. It is perhaps more likely that she was an Amorite, a daughter of the people which inhabited Canaan when the children of Israel first entered the land, and whom Israel never succeeded in completely driving out. Traces of Amorite descent still linger in even the present inhabitants of the land. The Amorites, like the Philistines, were exceptionally tall and well built, usually having fair hair and blue eyes; it is quite possible that Samson, himself a giant among his fellows, would feel a natural preference for the tall Amorite and Philistine women as against the more slightly built Hebrews. At any rate, we are told quite frankly and brutally that �Samson loved a woman in the vale of Sorek named Delilah�. There is no intimation that he was married to her or had any intention of marrying her. The setting of the story lends colour to the supposition that he visited her whenever he saw fit and interspersed such times of dalliance between periods of attention to such of his duties as ruler in Israel that he chose to discharge. He had long ago given up any apprehension that he stood in any danger from the Philistines. Twenty years' confidence in what men would today call his �good luck�, and reliance on his personal strength and agility, had built that impression firmly in his mind. As for the things of God, it is evident that he never gave them a thought. [PAR] Samson's infatuation for this woman did not go unnoticed. Such things rarely do. In this case it proved the subject of interested discussion in very high quarters indeed - no less than the councils of the five �lords of the Philistines�. This word �lords� is the Hebrew �seren�, describing an official

[PAR] [TLE] Scopan Lake [SEP] Scopan Lake is a "V" shaped lake in northern Maine. The lake was known as Squa Pan Lake by early European settlers, but was renamed in 2011 to eliminate what Native Americans in the United States interpreted as a racial slur. The lake is mostly in Scopan township (formerly Squapan township), but the north end of the eastern arm of the "V" extends into Maine township 11, range 4; and the north end of the western arm extends into Masardis and Ashland. The lake discharges to Scopan Stream (formerly Squa Pan Stream) through a dam in Masardis.

MEXICO CITY, Mexico (CNN) -- The Mexican navy said Wednesday that it rescued five Ecuadorians who had been adrift without supplies in a fishing boat for more than two weeks off the coast of the southern state of Chiapas.
Mexican medical personel examine two of five Ecuadorians rescued at sea.
Mexican authorities initiated the rescue, which occurred Tuesday, after the U.S. Coast Guard alerted them that sailors aboard a fishing boat located 45 nautical miles (83 km) southeast of Port Chiapas had signaled to a passing plane that they needed help.
The Mexican navy dispatched a helicopter, which located the 15-meter-long (49-foot-long) vessel and carried out the rescue by air, the navy said in a news release.
The five aboard identified themselves as Jaime Arturo Alaba Chavez, the 35-year-old captain; Víctor Hugo Alaba Chavez, the 32-year-old cook; Edison Prado Alaba, a 27-year-old sailor; Carlos Cheme Vazquez, a 37-year-old sailor; and Raul Contreras Vera, a 64-year-old machinist.
The sailors were taken to the Naval Sanatorium of Puerto Chiapas, where doctors determined they were dehydrated.
They said they had departed Costa Rica's on May 6 but, five days later, their motor stopped working and, unable to repair it, they had been adrift and without food since.
A naval patrol boat towed the boat to Puerto Chiapas, arriving there Wednesday morning. It will be inspected to rule out the possibility that it may have been used for illicit activities, the navy said.

[PAR] Recipe: Brandy Alexander Cocktail [PAR] The Brandy Alexander derives from an earlier cocktail called simply the “Alexander.” That drink is a mix of gin, crème de cacao (a chocolate-flavored liqueur), and heavy cream. The Brandy Alexander just substitutes brandy for gin. Presumably you could substitute other spirits if you prefer. I haven’t done it, but I suspect this drink would be delicious made with dark or aged amber rum. But I like the flavor of the classic Brandy Alexander, so that’s what I stick to. [PAR] My favorite recipe for this drink features equal parts of cognac, crème de cacao, and cream. This is also David Wondrich’s preferred formula. Other people think different. You can watch a video of Robert Hess making a Brandy Alexander using 3 parts cognac and 2 parts each of crème de cacao and cream. [PAR] Other mixsters favor 2 parts cognac to 1 part each of crème de cacao and cream. Still others like 1 part each of cognac and crème de cacao, and 2 parts of cream. That last one is really too rich to drink, IMO — but you may find it ideal. I’d suggest making the drink my way once. Then if you want to change it a bit to suit your taste buds, do so. [PAR] This recipe makes 1 cocktail, and takes about 5 minutes to prepare. [PAR] Ingredients [PAR] 1 ounce cognac or brandy (nothing too expensive — a moderately priced VSOP or even VO like St. Remy or Raynal works well) [PAR] 1 ounce crème de cacao (either white — clear — or brown; see Notes) [PAR] 1 ounce heavy cream [PAR] a dusting of ground nutmeg as garnish (optional but attractive) [PAR] Procedure [PAR] Combine all ingredients (except garnish) in a cocktail shaker half-filled with ice. Shake vigorously for 20 to 30 seconds, until the drink is cold. Be sure to shake well! This helps increase the foaminess of the cream, which creates a more attractive drink. [PAR] Strain into a cocktail glass (preferably one that has been chilled). [PAR] Add a dusting of ground nutmeg if desired (freshly ground is particularly good), and serve. [PAR] Notes [PAR] You can use either cognac or brandy when you make this drink. Cognac is nothing more than brandy that is produced in the Cognac region of

[DOC] [TLE] East of Eden - Plot Synopsis | Steinbeck in the Schools ...East of Eden - Plot Synopsis | Steinbeck in the Schools | San Jose State University [PAR] Steinbeck in the Schools [PAR] Cultural References [PAR] Part One [PAR] In Part One, Steinbeck introduces the three families whose destinies are uniquely intertwined in the novel: the Hamiltons, the Trasks, and to a lesser degree, the Ames. Steinbeck introduces the Hamiltons first, who are unique mixture of a fictionalized and accurate portrayal of his own family. Most of Part One is devoted to providing the history of the fictionalized Adam Trask and his family. [PAR] The novel begins with a lively description, both geographical and historical, of the Salinas Valley which is peppered with John Steinbeck’s memories of the area from his childhood. Steinbeck then introduces his grandparents, Samuel and Liza Hamilton. They are immigrants from Northern Ireland who settled outside of King City around 1870. By this time, much of the green, fertile land was already taken. Additionally, the Hamiltons came to King City with very little money and the only land they could afford was dry, rocky land located on the top of hills. As a result, Samuel has to make a living by doing odd jobs around other people’s farms as he cannot grow crops on his land. Hardworking and resourceful, Samuel is well-liked but is never able to acquire wealth. Much of his profits are eaten up by raising a family of nine children and suffering from “a very bad patent habit” (40). [PAR] Later in Part One, the rest of the Hamilton brood, consisting of four boys and five girls, is introduced. George and Will, the older boys, are practical, married and become respected businessmen. The younger two boys, Tom and Joseph are dreamers. Tom has a knack for poetry but remains on the family farm. Joseph has an aversion to farm work and is sent to college at Stanford. Una Hamilton is the oldest girl and is described as “dark and studious” (41). Lizzie, the next oldest girl, quickly became estranged from the Hamiltons. She married at a young age and moved away. Dessie, the middle girl, is considered fun and full of laughter. Olive, the fourth daughter, is a schoolteacher and mother to John Steinbeck. Mollie, the youngest, is simply described as “a little beauty with lovely blond hair and violet eyes” (41). [PAR] The next family introduced is the Trask family, which lives across the country on a Connecticut farm. The patriarch of the family is Cyrus Trask, who despite his short time as a private in the Civil War, spends most of his time spinning larger than life tales of his experience in the military. Cyrus has two sons, Adam and Charles, each born of different mothers. After the death of Adam’s mother, Cyrus quickly re-married his neighbor’s seventeen year old daughter Alice. She became pregnant within weeks of the marriage and gave birth to Charles, whom we learn later, she always secretly favored. She devoted her time to raising the boys and taking care of household chores, mostly staying in the background to please Cyrus. [PAR] Cyrus becomes a war expert and later takes a position with the General Army of the Republic (G.A.R). He spends much of his time traveling but demands weekly reports from Alice about his assets and home life. He is very strict with his sons and decides early on that Adam, who is smaller, less coordinated and less clever than his half-brother, will need the discipline of the military to grow into a strong man. Divided by their father's love, the brothers develop a bitter rivalry, which becomes violent when Charles, the stronger and quicker of the two, beats up Adam after Charles loses a game of peewee to Adam.

[DOC] [TLE] Cassandra TrotterCassandra Louise Trotter (née Parry; born 16 June 1966 ) is a fictional character from the British sitcom Only Fools and Horses. She was portrayed by Gwyneth Strong. [PAR] Biography [PAR] The intelligent, slightly-spoiled daughter of the owner of a successful paper merchant, Alan (Denis Lill) and his wife Pam (Wanda Ventham), Cassandra was an ambitious employee of the local bank. She made her first Only Fools and Horses appearance in the episode Yuppy Love, in which she was an attendee of Rodney's adult education class. The two first met when they accidentally mixed up their raincoats in the cloak room, and met again at a disco later that night, at which Rodney's friends Mickey Pearce and Jevon unsuccessfully ask her for a dance. Rodney then bet £20 that he would be successful and, to their horror, she agreed to dance with him. Cassandra also offered to give him a lift home, and they exchanged telephone numbers. However, as he was ashamed to take her home to Nelson Mandela House, he pretended he lived in a more upmarket location on King's Avenue and was duly left stranded as it began to pour with rain, again getting their coats mixed up leaving Rodney to walk home. [PAR] Originally John Sullivan wanted to make Cassandra a girlfriend of Trigger, Denzil or an admirer of Boycie, but decided that like he planned to do with Del, Rodney needed a long term relationship. [PAR] Their relationship blossomed throughout the sixth series; In The Unlucky Winner Is... she went to Spain with Rodney and Del, and had to pretend to be Del's wife, and Rodney's stepmother. In Sickness and Wealth, Rodney announced that they were engaged; they married in the final episode of series 6: Little Problems, after which they moved into their own flat. Her marriage to Rodney was not without its problems; Rodney was envious of Cassandra's privileged upbringing and her qualifications. When Cassandra wanted to build herself a career at the bank, Rodney was outraged, as he wanted her to be little more than a housewife, and have his dinner on the table for when he got home from work. [PAR] After a year of being married she and Rodney split up in The Jolly Boys Outing (the 1989 Christmas special), when he punched her boss and broke his nose. In the next episode aired Rodney Come Home (Christmas special 1990), they broke up again, which started an ongoing split between the pair. This split carried on throughout the duration of series 7. In The Chance of a Lunchtime Del played matchmaker between the two, reuniting them. However, the two were only together for an hour before Cassandra saw Rodney with an ex-fiancē of Del Boy's. Assuming that Rodney was cheating on her, Cassandra locked him out of the flat. They were ultimately reconciled in Three Men, a Woman and a Baby but after just getting back together they were interrupted by a phone call that Raquel had gone into labour and Del wanted Rodney to be there for the birth. The episode Miami Twice saw them trying to patch up their relationship, and in Mother Natures Son they were back together properly, and stayed together ever since. The later episodes saw them attempting to conceive a child, and Cassandra was promoted to head of small business investment at the local bank. After suffering a miscarriage in "Modern Men", she and Rodney later had a daughter, Joan (named after Del and Rodney's late mother), in Sleepless in Peckham.

[PAR] 11:13, Tue, Jul 9, 2013 [PAR] Barry George spent eight years in prison after being wrongly convicted of the murder of Jill Dando [PAR] Barry George deserved up to £500,000 after wrongly spending eight years in jail, his lawyers argued at the Court of Appeal today. [PAR] However, Lord Justice Beatson and Mr Justice Irwin rejected his claim that the Justice Secretary unfairly and unlawfully decided he was "not innocent enough to be compensated". [PAR] They ruled that the Secretary of State was "entirely justified in the conclusion he reached". [PAR] The latest legal move at the Court of Appeal followed the dismissal of his claim by two High Court judges in January. [PAR] Lord Justice Richards, sitting at the Court of Appeal in London, today rejected an application by Mr George for permission to challenge the January decision.

[PAR] Barry George spent eight years in prison after being wrongly convicted of the murder of Jill Dando [PAR] Barry George claimed he deserved money as a victim of a "miscarriage of justice" [PAR] Mr George went to the High Court seeking a reconsideration of his case which could have opened the way for him to claim an award for lost earnings and wrongful imprisonment. [PAR] It was argued on his behalf that the decision to refuse compensation was "defective and contrary to natural justice". [PAR] But Lord Justice Beatson and Mr Justice Irwin ruled that he had "failed the legal test" to receive an award. [PAR] The judges said it was reasonable to convict him on the basis of the available evidence at the time of Dando’s murder.

[PAR] Barry George, 52, who spent eight years in prison after being wrongly convicted of the murder of the TV presenter, is seeking a High Court ruling that could open the way for him to claim an award of up to £500,000. [PAR] His case is one of five assembled for senior judges to decide who is now entitled to payments in “miscarriages of justice” cases following a landmark decision by the Supreme Court in May 2011 which ruled that merely quashing a conviction could not be a trigger for compensation. [PAR] At the beginning of the three-day hearing, Ian Glen QC, appearing for Mr George, said the decision to deny compensation was “defective and contrary to natural justice” and a breach of the right to a fair trial under Article 6 of the European Convention on Human Rights.

For the King's funeral, people dress in elaborate mourning costume, many of them cross-dressing men who carry bouquets of phallic vegetables. In the funeral house, the body of the King is surrounded by an honor guard and weeping concubines, crying over the loss of sexual pleasure brought about by his death. The King's body is carried to the Plaça de la Vila where a satiric eulogy is delivered while the townspeople eat salty grilled sardines with bread and wine, suggesting the symbolic cannibalism of the communion ritual. Finally, amid rockets and explosions, the King's body is burned in a massive pyre.

The first PCBs used through-hole technology, mounting electronic components by leads inserted through holes on one side of the board and soldered onto copper traces on the other side. Boards may be single-sided, with an unplated component side, or more compact double-sided boards, with components soldered on both sides. Horizontal installation of through-hole parts with two axial leads (such as resistors, capacitors, and diodes) is done by bending the leads 90 degrees in the same direction, inserting the part in the board (often bending leads located on the back of the board in opposite directions to improve the part's mechanical strength), soldering the leads, and trimming off the ends. Leads may be soldered either manually or by a wave soldering machine.

West demonstrated an affinity for the arts at an early age; he began writing poetry when he was five years old. His mother recalled that she first took notice of West's passion for drawing and music when he was in the third grade. Growing up in the city,[which?] West became deeply involved in its hip hop scene. He started rapping in the third grade and began making musical compositions in the seventh grade, eventually selling them to other artists. At age thirteen, West wrote a rap song called "Green Eggs and Ham" and began to persuade his mother to pay $25 an hour for time in a recording studio. It was a small, crude basement studio where a microphone hung from the ceiling by a wire clothes hanger. Although this wasn't what West's mother wanted, she nonetheless supported him. West crossed paths with producer/DJ No I.D., with whom he quickly formed a close friendship. No I.D. soon became West's mentor, and it was from him that West learned how to sample and program beats after he received his first sampler at age 15.

[DOC] [TLE] Idi Amin Biography (Political Leader) - InfopleaseIdi Amin Biography (Political Leader) [PAR] Birthplace: Koboko, Uganda [PAR] Best known as: The dictator of Uganda, 1971-79 [PAR] Idi Amin (also known as Idi Amin Dada) was the nutty, ruthless dictator of the African nation of Uganda during the 1970s. He started out as a soldier in the British colonial army in 1946 and became one of its first Ugandan commissioned officers. Idi Amin rose through the ranks and was eventually made the army's chief of staff under Uganda's first president, Milton Obote. In 1971 Amin overthrew Obote and seized power. He became internationally famous in 1976 when he provided a safe haven for hostage-holding Palestinian hijackers, who were then attacked and killed at Entebbe by Israeli forces. In 1978 Amin's forces invaded neighboring Tanzania, but Tanzanian forces drove them back and invaded Uganda, forcing Amin to flee. Amin used brutal force against opponents during his reign, and it is estimated that he is responsible for at least 100,000 deaths (some estimates run as high as 500,000). After fleeing Uganda he settled in Saudi Arabia. He died there in 2003, apparently succumbing to a mixture of hypertension, kidney failure and other ailments. [PAR] Extra credit: [PAR] Between 1951 and 1960, Idi Amin was Uganda’s heavyweight boxing champ… Idi Amin had near-celebrity status in the ’70s, partly because of his goofball antics — jumping into swimming pools in full uniform, for example… Most sources suggest that Idi Amin was born in 1925, though at his death Ugandan officials claimed that Amin was 80.

He declared that he will open the championship that year by boxing with Seruwagi. As the fight started, Amin ruthlessly attacked the coach, and the fight ended with a knock-out in favor of Amin. The referee stopped the fight in the second round and had to help and save Seruwagi from beating and punishment.

[DOC] [TLE] Chemistry for Kids : Elements - Arsenic - DuckstersChemistry for Kids: Elements - Arsenic [PAR] Arsenic [PAR] 5.727 grams per cm cubed [PAR] Melting Point: [PAR] Discovered by: [PAR] Albertus Magnus in 1250 [PAR] Arsenic is the third element in the fifteenth column of the periodic table. It is classified as a metalloid because it has some properties similar to a metal and others of a non-metal. Arsenic atoms have 33 electrons and 33 protons with 5 valence electrons in the outer shell. [PAR] Characteristics and Properties [PAR] Arsenic exists in a number of allotropes. Allotropes are different structures of the same element. Although they are made up of the same element, their different structures can have very different characteristics. For example, carbon has the allotropes graphite and diamond. [PAR] Arsenic's two most common allotropes are yellow and metallic gray. Gray arsenic is a brittle shiny solid. Yellow arsenic is soft and waxy. Yellow arsenic is reactive and very toxic. It converts to gray arsenic when exposed to light at room temperatures. Another allotrope is black arsenic. [PAR] How poisonous is arsenic? [PAR] Arsenic is perhaps most famous for its high toxicity. This means that it is very poisonous. Many of its compounds are poisonous as well. Too much arsenic can quickly kill a person and it has been used in assassinations throughout history. Also, exposure to small amounts of arsenic over time can cause many health issues. There are many laws on how arsenic should be handled and disposed of when used in industry. [PAR] Where is it found on Earth? [PAR] Arsenic is found in the Earth's crust. It can be found in its free form, but this is rare. Most arsenic exists in minerals such as realgar, mispickel (arsenopyrite), and orpiment. Arsenic for industrial use is generally produced as a byproduct from mining gold, silver, and copper. [PAR] How is arsenic used today? [PAR] Arsenic has been used in the past as an insecticide as well as a wood preservative. Because of environmental issues it is no longer used as an insecticide and is being phased out as a wood preservative in the United States. As a wood preservative, the compound copper arsenate helped to stop wood from rotting and also kept termites and other insects from destroying the wood. [PAR] Arsenic is combined with gallium to produce gallium arsenide for use in high speed electronics and optoelectronics. Other applications for arsenic include metal alloys and glass making. [PAR] How was it discovered? [PAR] Arsenic has been known about since ancient times as part of a compound with sulfur. It is thought that it was first isolated during the Middle Ages by German philosopher Albertus Magnus in 1250. [PAR] Where did arsenic get its name? [PAR] Arsenic may have gotten its name from the Greek word "arsenikon" which means "yellow pigment" or "arsenikos" which means "potent." [PAR] Isotopes [PAR] Arsenic occurs in nature in one stable isotope which is arsenic-75. [PAR] Interesting Facts about Arsenic [PAR] When it is heated in air it combines with oxygen to produce arsenic trioxide. [PAR] Despite how poisonous arsenic is, a very small amount is considered important for the health of animals. [PAR] Arsenic doesn't melt under standard pressure, but sublimes directly into gas. It only melts under high pressure. [PAR] We recommend that you NEVER use, handle, or experiment with arsenic or its compounds. It is very dangerous.

In 1908 he was elected to Parliament from Portage la Prairie, Manitoba , where he practiced law. A noted debater, he became solicitor general in 1913 and subsequently held cabinet posts in Robert (later Sir Robert) Borden ’s government. When the Conservatives and some Liberals formed a Union Government in 1917, Meighen became minister of the interior. Meighen worked effectively to implement the controversial policies of the Borden government, many of which enlarged Canada’s role in world affairs. [PAR] In 1920 Meighen became leader of the Conservative Party and prime minister after Borden resigned the posts. During his first term, Meighen waged a successful campaign in 1921 against renewal of the Anglo-Japanese alliance. Convinced that the chief threat to Canada’s national existence came from the economic power of the United States , he advocated a protective tariff system. A struggling economy and continuing resentment over some of Borden’s policies, however, contributed to the Conservatives’ defeat in the 1921 elections. Meighen became leader of the opposition party, and in 1926 he was asked to form a government following the resignation of W.L. Mackenzie King of the Liberal Party . His second term was cut short by his party’s defeat in the House of Commons and the subsequent general election. Meighen left politics to pursue a career in business

Israeli cuisine includes local dishes as well as dishes brought to the country by Jewish immigrants from the diaspora. Since the establishment of the State in 1948, and particularly since the late 1970s, an Israeli fusion cuisine has developed. Roughly half of the Israeli-Jewish population attests to keeping kosher at home. Kosher restaurants, though rare in the 1960s, make up around 25% of the total as of 2015[update], perhaps reflecting the largely secular values of those who dine out. Hotel restaurants are much more likely to serve kosher food. The non-kosher retail market was traditionally sparse, but grew rapidly and considerably following the influx of immigrants from Eastern Europe and Russia during the 1990s. Together with non-kosher fish, rabbits and ostriches, pork—often called "white meat" in Israel—is produced and consumed, though it is forbidden by both Judaism and Islam.

[DOC] [TLE] Different Names for an Eggplant | eHowDifferent Names for an Eggplant | Our Everyday Life [PAR] Different Names for an Eggplant [PAR] by Bryan Cohen [PAR] Inventions of the Phoenicians [PAR] The eggplant is a plant native to India and Pakistan that has found its way into the hearts of many vegetarians in the United States. This purple fruit (which is eaten as a vegetable) is similar in texture and shape to the tomato and the potato; its popularity has spread throughout the world. What we call an eggplant is called by many other names by English and non-English speakers in various parts of the globe. [PAR] Eggplant [PAR] The name "eggplant" was given to the fruit by Europeans sometime in the mid-18th century. The size and shape of the fruit was similar to those of goose eggs. At the time, the eggplant was more white and yellow than today's purple-skinned fruit, leading to an even closer comparison of the eggplant to an egg. [PAR] Aubergine [PAR] In Britain, the eggplant is called an aubergine. This name has gone through many linguistic changes since it began as "vatingana" in Sanskrit. Henri Leclerc wrote about this transformation in his 1925 book, "Les Fruits de France," noting that "vatingana" changed to the Persian "bandingen," which became the Arabic "albadingen" and then the Spanish "albadingena," before finally becoming the English "aubergine." [PAR] Brinjal [PAR] Like the name "aubergine," "brinjal" took a linguistic journey from the Arabic "albadingen." But instead of Persian, it was Portuguese--which calls the eggplant "beringela"--that influenced the word. Even today, an eggplant is now called a brinjal in India. [PAR] Other Names [PAR] Since the fruit was originally cultivated in India, it has been called many other names in its time, including the Hindi "baingan." In the southern United States, the eggplant is sometimes called the "guinea squash"; this is a reference to Guinea, the West African nation from which the eggplant migrated. It is not exactly clear when this migration took place, but it is thought to be Thomas Jefferson who originally experimented with the fruit in his Virginia gardens in the late 18th century. In Italy, the eggplant is called "melanzana," from the Latin "mala insana" or "bad egg." The fruit got this ominous name because of its similarity to poisonous plants like the Jimson weed and the Belladonna plant--people assumed that the eggplant was poisonous as well. Other names for the fruit are apple-of-love, gully bean, pea apple, susumber and terong. [PAR] References[DOC] [TLE] Vegetarians in Paradise/Eggplant History/Eggplant ...Vegetarians in Paradise/Eggplant History/Eggplant Nutrition/Eggplant Folklore/Aubergine History, Nutrition, Folklore [PAR] Recipe [PAR] The delectable, yet mystical eggplant is known by many names, some quite unflattering. When Europeans first encountered the fruit, it had gained an intimidating reputation with its "mad apple" label. Even after the eggplant developed secure Mediterranean roots, it was still called mala insana, meaning "bad egg, mad apple, or apple of madness." Lifting its perplexing veil, the eggplant reveals its family members are to blame. [PAR] Eggplant belongs to the nightshade family that encompasses members like the poisonous Jimson weed or Datura as well as Belladonna, also poisonous and sometimes called Deadly Nightshade. The eggplant, itself, during its immature growth stage, contains toxins that can cause illness. [PAR] Primitive man crudely grew eggplant probably centuries before plant cultivation was developed as a scientific process. Charles B. Heiser, a botanist, surmises that of the original wild varieties some probably had spiny stems and many bitter tasting fruits that were no larger than a baseball. Before man developed the alphabet and written communication, he experimented with cultivating food plants by carefully selecting seeds from those plants that tasted less bitter and grew larger fruits. [PAR] Historians believe the eggplant may have its origins in India, but early written accounts from a 5th century Chinese record on agriculture called the Ts'i Min Yao Shu indicate its cultivation in China. [PAR] Southeast Asia was also considered as a possible place of the eggplant

(CNN) -- When iReporter Carlos Ortega evacuated Galveston's West End last week, there was a road, a row of houses and about 150 feet of sand between his house and the water. Now the surf laps about 30 feet from his door.
iReporter Carlos Ortega says there's "not an inch that isn't damaged" in his Galveston, Texas, neighborhood.
Hurricane Ike devastated the Texas city over the weekend, and Gov. Rick Perry said it could be weeks before residents could return.
"There's substantial structural damage, obviously ... (no) electrical power," he said. "It's going to be a while."
Ortega, a professor at the University of Houston, and his partner walked about six miles down the beach on Sunday and said there's "not an inch that isn't damaged." iReport.com: See Ortega's home before and after Ike
He said one beachfront house was knocked off its stilts and was lying on the ground like an amusement park funhouse. A dead cow washed in front of another home.
"It was pretty depressing and devastating to see how everything was just torn up," he said. "People's lives and houses were just torn up."
All but two of the houses on the "front row," nearest the beach, in their Bermuda Beach subdivision were destroyed, he said. "You wouldn't know there was a house there."
"The house across the street from us is completely gone, and there's no trace of it," he said.
The first floor of their house is covered with 3 to 4 feet of sand and debris, including huge chunks of asphalt from the road that ran in front of the house.
"We don't keep anything of value down there," he said, because people expect to get high water occasionally.
There were some windows out on the second level, but they did not have much water damage.
Ortega said the storm washed a Jet Ski out of the garage and dumped it about five blocks away. iReport.com: Have you been home after Ike? Share your story
It still worked, Ortega said, but was stuck in the sand.
Ortega rode out the storm at his house in Houston, which also suffered some damage.
"The expectation was that it was going to be like three years ago when the last storm (Rita) came through, and it was so much worse," he said.
iReporter Matteu Erchull stayed on Galveston Island during the storm.
"I think everybody downplayed the severity of the storm, including myself," he said, adding that he didn't regret staying. iReport.com: Ike passes over Galveston iReporter
After the storm, he put on his fishing waders and helped rescue some of his neighbors.
"Some people literally hid in their attics. Right after the storm, you go into these areas, and they were just helpless," the former Eagle Scout said. "They were just waiting."
Nearly 2,000 people who did not evacuate have been rescued along the southeastern Texas coast, said Steve McCraw, director of the Texas Office of Homeland Security.
On Sunday, a Galveston County sheriff's official said three bodies were pulled from storm wreckage in Port Bolivar, bringing to 10 the number of reported deaths in Texas linked to Ike.
Erchull said he got through the storm OK, but most of his stuff was ruined.

On the other hand, the crew on board the spaceship also perceives the observer as slowed down and flattened along the spaceship's direction of travel, because both are moving at very nearly the speed of light relative to each other. Because the outside universe appears flattened to the spaceship, the crew perceives themselves as quickly traveling between regions of space that (to the stationary observer) are many light years apart. This is reconciled by the fact that the crew's perception of time is different from the stationary observer's; what seems like seconds to the crew might be hundreds of years to the stationary observer. In either case, however, causality remains unchanged: the past is the set of events that can send light signals to an entity and the future is the set of events to which an entity can send light signals.

But in 1672 the suspension of payments by Charles II brought about a wave of bankruptcies and the call for a public bank. It was the young Scottish financier William Paterson who, backed by a powerful City group, proposed the loan of over one million pounds to a Government which by then had become increasingly desperate for funds to continue the costly war against France. In return the subscribers would be incorporated as the Governor and Company of the Bank of England. It was a venture supported by William III and the money was raised in less than two weeks. The charter was sealed on 27th July 1694 at Powis House, Lincoln's Inn Fields. The Bank opened for business a few days later in temporary accommodation at the Mercer's Hall in Cheapside and the first notes to bear the name Bank of England appeared shortly afterwards. Later that same year the Bank moved to Grocer's Hall in Old Jewry.

[PAR] [TLE] Stop motion [SEP] Stop motion (hyphenated stop-motion when used as an adjective) is an animation technique that physically manipulates an object so that it appears to move on its own. The object is moved in small increments between individually photographed frames, creating the illusion of movement when the series of frames is played as a fast sequence. Dolls with movable joints or clay figures are often used in stop motion for their ease of repositioning. Stop motion animation using plasticine is called clay animation or "clay-mation". Not all stop motion requires figures or models; many stop motion films can involve using humans, household appliances and other things for comedic effect. Stop motion can also use sequential drawing in a similar manner to traditional animation, such as a flip book. Stop motion using humans is sometimes referred to as pixilation or pixilate animation.

KABUL, Afghanistan (CNN) -- Afghan President Hamid Karzai said Sunday that his country would join the strategic review of the U.S.-led war on terrorism.
Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai, right, meets with Richard Holbrooke in Kabul on February 15, 2009.
Speaking at a joint news conference with visiting U.S. diplomat Richard Holbrooke, Karzai said he is "very, very thankful" that President Barack Obama accepted his proposal to join the review.
Holbrooke is visiting Afghanistan after a trip to neighboring Pakistan. Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton tapped Holbrooke as special representative for the two countries, a signal of how the new administration considers Afghanistan and Pakistan intertwined in any solution to the war in Afghanistan and the terrorist threat along their shared border.
At the news conference in Kabul, Holbrooke said Sunday that he conveyed the administration's support of the upcoming elections on August 20, a date recently set by Afghanistan's electoral commission.
"President Obama and Secretary Clinton and the United States government were very gratified to hear President Karzai reaffirm his support of the August 20 decision," Holbrooke said.
Holbrooke's visit comes as Obama plans to send another 30,000 troops to Afghanistan to fight what he's called the "central front in our enduring struggle against terrorism and extremism."
In an interview on CNN's "Fareed Zakaria GPS," which aired Sunday, Karzai said that, with a resurgent Taliban, a still-flourishing drug trade and a border with Pakistan believed to be home base for al Qaeda, his country can't afford for U.S. troops to leave any time soon.
"U.S. forces will not be able to leave soon in Afghanistan because the task is not over," Karzai said. "We have to defeat terrorism. We'll have to enable Afghanistan to stand on its own feet. We'll have to enable Afghanistan to be able to defend itself and protect for its security ...
"Then, the United States can leave and, at that time, the Afghan people will give them plenty of flowers and gratitude and send them safely back home."
At the same time, Karzai said the actions of troops currently in Afghanistan have turned some of the public against them.
"It's the question of civilian causalities. It's a question of risk of Afghans. It's the question of home searches," he said. "These activities are seriously undermining the confidence of the Afghan people in the joint struggle we have against terrorism and undermining their hopeful future.
"We'll continue to be a friend. We'll continue to be an ally. But Afghanistan deserves respect and a better treatment."
While he said he welcomes additional U.S. troops, Karzai suggested they need to work along the Afghan-Pakistan border and in the poppy fields that fuel a drug trade that threatens to turn the nation into a narco-state -- not in the villages where most Afghans live.
"We have traveled many years on. What should have happened early on didn't unfortunately happen," Karzai said. "Now, the country is not in the same mood as it was in 2002. And so any addition of troops must have a purposeful objective that the Afghan people would agree with."
The Obama administration is conducting several reviews of U.S. policy in Afghanistan, including a review by Gen. David Petraeus, the commander in the region. Defense Secretary Robert Gates has said the original mission in Afghanistan was "too broad" and needs to be more "realistic and focused" for the United States to succeed.
"If we set ourselves the objective of creating some sort of central Asian Valhalla over there, we will lose, because nobody in the world has that kind of time, patience and money," Gates said during a recent Senate hearing.
He called for concrete goals that can be reached in three to five years.
Speaking via satellite from Kabul, Karzai called former President George Bush "a great person," but said he can work with Obama -- despite the president's comments as a candidate that Karzai had "not gotten out of the bunker" to improve security and infrastructure in

(CNN) -- Schalke moved to within a point of German Bundesliga leaders Bayer Leverkusen after winning 2-0 away to fellow title hopefuls Werder Bremen on Saturday night.
Kevin Kuranyi and Jan Moravek scored in the second half to put Schalke a point above third-placed Bayern Munich, who earlier crushed lowly Bochum 5-1 to cap a memorable week.
Former Germany striker Kuranyi put Schalke ahead two minutes after halftime and midfielder Moravek ensured Bremen's first league defeat since the opening day of the season with his 72nd-minute goal.
Bremen could also have closed to within a point of Leverkusen, who were held 2-2 at bottom club Hertha Berlin on Friday night, but ended the night two points adrift of Bayern.
Louis Van Gaal's Bayern, runners-up to Wolfsburg last season, briefly reached their highest league position since he took over as coach in the summer as Mario Gomez continued his recent scoring run with the opening goal at Bochum and strike partner Ivica Olic netted twice.
Bayern, who crushed Italian giants Juventus 4-1 in midweek to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League, moved to within two points of leaders Bayer Leverkusen,
Olic set up Gomez's 23rd-minute header for the opening goal, and Mergim Mavraj put through his own net 10 minutes later as the Germany international tried to repay the favor to the Croatian.
Olic got on the scoresheet two minutes before halftime from Bastian Schweinsteiger's cross and made it 4-0 four minutes after the break with a header from Holger Badstuber's delivery.
Danijel Pranjic extended the lead five minutes later after fullback Phillip Lahm surged into the box and squared the ball to him, while Christian Fuchs scored a consolation free-kick for Bochum in the 76th minute.
Fifth-placed Hamburg joined Bremen on 28 points, winning 4-0 at Nuremberg to end a run of seven games without a win.
All the goals came in the second half as Eljero Elia's 47th-minute strike opened the floodgates, and he helped set up Marcell Jansen for the second on the hour mark.
Tunay Torun made it 3-0 six minutes later with a fierce rising effort after cutting in from the left, and Elia wrapped it up on 74 from Jansen's pass.
Sixth-placed Hoffenheim failed to keep pace with the teams above them, drawing 1-1 at home to Eintracht Frankfurt, and have now won just once in five league outings.
Sejad Salihovic opened the scoring for the hosts in the ninth minute with a penalty after Selim Teber fouled Vedad Ibisevic, but Pirmin Schwegler equalized for Frankfurt on 61 when his long-range effort hit Luis Gustavo and ballooned over goalkeeper Timo Hildebrand and into the net.
Borussia Moenchengladbach triumphed 5-3 at home to Hannover, who conceded three own-goals and had a player sent off in an incredible mid-table clash.
Defender Karim Haggui twice put into his own net -- the first an lucky rebound from goalkeeper Florian Fromlowitz's attempted clearance in the 15th minute to open the scoring, and he also contributed the game's eighth goal with his second faux-pas.
Constant Djakpa also conceded at the wrong end to give the hosts a 3-1 lead in the 59th minute, while Hannover's Didier Ya Konen scored in each half before being dismissed for his second yellow card on 84.
Cologne edged away from the relegation zone with a 0-0 draw at Freiburg as Germany international striker Lukas Podolski -- who has not scored in the Bundesliga since September 13 -- hit the woodwork twice for the visitors.

ATLANTA, Georgia (CNN) -- As little Tatyana Larbi, aka Little Miss Muffett, sings about selling her cotton and twigs to the "sister pigs," you can tell the young girl is enjoying her moment in the limelight, even if she can't see the audience's response.
The mother of Brooke Stegall, 5, says opera gave her visually impaired child new confidence.
The set and costumes are pretty basic. Most were made by parents and volunteers. But that doesn't matter to the beaming mothers, fathers and grandparents in the audience. The fact that these 10 children are performing this day is enough for them.
All of the actors in the Pumpkin Pickle Pop Cookies Opera are visually impaired 4- and 5-year-olds. Two are blind, and the others have varying degrees of sight. All are students in Atlanta's Center for the Visually Impaired BEGIN program.
But today is their last day here, and performing this 20-minute opera is their "thank you" to their families. Watch an awe-inspiring opera performance »
"These parents work so hard to make this happen," said Anne McComiskey, director of the program. She is very aware of the efforts that both the children and the parents put into the program.
"They have to give up vacation time from their jobs," she said. "Some people travel two and three hours once a week to get here."
McComiskey says the program works with newborns, sometimes only days old, up to 5-year-olds. It helps parents understand what is possible for their visually impaired or blind children.
"First of all, we are teaching the parents how to teach their child," she said. "Because some 90-odd percent of learning comes through your vision, we have to teach mommy and daddy how to do what they would do typically, a little differently."
She says with the infants, it can be even more basic. "With a newborn, you're teaching them about their body. A lot of kids don't know they have feet. They have never seen them."
All of the children go to the center one day a week. The BEGIN program, which is an acronym for Babies Early Growth Intervention Network, was started in 1985 and has about 95 children go through the program each year. The course costs $250 to register, but financial assistance is available.
McComiskey says the performance reinforces lessons learned during the course of the program. "Because this is an opera, they are learning gestures that they wouldn't learn by watching someone else. And they are learning how to listen and respond. They are learning to work in a group. It's just many of the concepts that we have been teaching them for five years, coming to play in the opera."
Jacqueline Howard is the center's music therapist. She came up with the idea for the opera while talking with some of the teachers. She also sees lessons in the performance.
"If you have a visual challenge, you want to be safe in the space you're in, because you may not be able to see everything around you. So the movements help them feel safe in the space, and we learned to move, sing and play instruments at the same time, which is a challenge for anyone!"
Brooke Stegall, 5, played one of the five "sister pigs" in this opera loosely based on "The Three Little Pigs," which added the twist of a few other nursery tale characters. Her mother, Rhonda, says the opera changed her daughter.
"She is just a naturally reserved child, and to see her go up there and just sing and do the motions and just smile and have fun -- it was just great."
McComiskey says that that is one of the goals of the program: to instill a sense of "I can" in the kids. In this case, all 10 students seem to have taken that lesson to heart. All of them will be attending mainstream kindergartens in their school districts next

She appeared at the 56th Annual Grammy Awards in January 2014, performing "Open Your Heart" alongside rappers Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and singer Mary Lambert, who sang their single "Same Love", as 33 couples were wed onstage, officiated by Queen Latifah. Days later, she joined singer Miley Cyrus on her MTV Unplugged special, singing a mash-up of "Don't Tell Me" and Cyrus' single "We Can't Stop" (2013). She also extended her business ventures and in February 2014 the singer premiered MDNA Skin, a range of skin care products, in Tokyo, Japan. After visiting her hometown of Detroit during May 2014, Madonna decided to contribute funds to three of the city's organizations, to help eliminate poverty from there.

The cuisine of Switzerland is multifaceted. While some dishes such as fondue, raclette or rösti are omnipresent through the country, each region developed its own gastronomy according to the differences of climate and languages. Traditional Swiss cuisine uses ingredients similar to those in other European countries, as well as unique dairy products and cheeses such as Gruyère or Emmental, produced in the valleys of Gruyères and Emmental. The number of fine-dining establishments is high, particularly in western Switzerland.
