Lao rebellion (1826–1828)
Conscription, Corvee Labor, and Forced Tattooing
Burmese were in almost perennial conflict (see Burmese-Siamese Wars). Siam sought trade in weapons from Europe, and relied upon heavy conscription from the Lao, Cambodian,and the Malay areas in the south to strengthen their forces. During the campaigns against the Burmese near Chiang Mai, Prince Anouvong gained military distinction as a successful military commander and a loyal vassal of Siam. In addition to military conscription, corvee labor was required by Siam. Lao laborers would assist in digging the canals of Bangkok, building a dam at Ang Thong in 1813, and constructing several forts along the Chao Phraya. Between 1810 and 1860,

Lao rebellion (1826–1828)
Conscription, Corvee Labor, and Forced Tattooing
Siam began the intense cultivation of sugarcane for the European trade. Sugar plantations are labor-intensive and required corvee labor from the Chinese, Khmer, Lao and hill tribes in their domain. With the accession of Rama III, the years of corvee labor and conscription were brought to breaking point by the institution of the forced tattooing of the Lao population. The tattoos were used to ensure an accurate census for corvee labor and taxation. All adult males in Siam had their census number and village name marked on their wrist. The tattooing campaign spread across the Khorat Plateau to more directly administer

Leonard Swindley Casting At the time filming commenced of the pilot episode of Coronation Street, the character of Leonard Swindley had not even been cast. Because he wasn't supposed to appear until episode three, auditions were still taking place until Arthur Lowe walked in and read for the producers. Lowe, who went on to become most recognised as Captain Mainwaring in sitcom Dad's Army, was already an established actor by the time of his Coronation Street casting, having been in several feature films, but it was his turn as pompous Mr. Swindley that made him a household name in the

Being widely used by the British Army, the tank participated in several other important battles. The Mk VIB made up a significant amount of the tanks sent over to the Battle of Greece in 1941, mostly with the 4th Hussars. Ten Mk VIB tanks fought with the 3rd The King's Own Hussars during the Battle of Crete. The same armoured unit had previously embarked three MK VIB tanks for the Norwegian Campaign, but they were lost in transit

Views Pawlikowski has been critical of John Cornwell's book Hitler's Pope, a scathing representation of the record of Pope Pius XII and the Vatican during the Holocaust. Pawlikowski characterized Cornwall's book as "full of exaggerated claims and deceptions," "a work of deeply flawed scholarship" that "presents only the evidence that suggests [Cornwall's] predetermined view." Other scholars have expressed similar judgments about the quality of Cornwall's book.

Lesotho women's national under-17 football team Background and development Early development of the women's game at the time colonial powers brought football to the continent was limited as colonial powers in the region tended to take make concepts of patriarchy and women's participation in sport with them to local cultures that had similar concepts already embedded in them. The lack of later development of the national team on a wider international level symptomatic of all African teams is a result of several factors, including limited access to education, poverty amongst women in the wider society, and fundamental inequality present

the Congo became independent in June 1960. The state electricity company, Société nationale d'électricité (SNEL), prepared a study of rehabilitating the Kiymbi power station in 1992. A 2007 report prepared for the World Bank evaluated rehabilitation of the power plant. The very rough estimate of cost from a "reconnaissance" study would be US$52.06 million for 43 MW installed capacity. The report recommended making a priority of a more detailed study.

piggyBac (PB) DNA transposons
trap flanked by the binding sites for the transposase (ITRs). The transposase will catalyze the excision of the transposon from the plasmid and subsequent integration into the genome. Integration within a coding region will capture the elements necessary for gene trap expression. PB possesses several ideal properties: (1) it preferentially inserts within genes (50 to 67% of insertions hit genes) (2) it exhibits no local hopping (widespread genomic coverage) (3) it is not sensitive to over-production inhibition in which elevated levels of the transposase cause decreased transposition 4) it excises cleanly from a donor site, leaving no “footprint,” unlike Sleeping

the process is through an examination of the most studied form, cloud to ground. Lightning leaders In a process not well understood, a bidirectional channel of ionized air, called a "leader", is initiated between oppositely-charged regions in a thundercloud. Leaders are electrically conductive channels of ionized gas that propagate through, or are otherwise attracted to, regions with a charge opposite of that of the leader tip. The negative end of the bidirectional leader fills a positive charge region, also called a well, inside the cloud while the positive end fills a negative charge well. Leaders often split, forming branches in

Lightning
Distribution and frequency
thunderstorm is usually negatively charged, this is where most CG lightning originates. This region is typically at the elevation where freezing occurs within the cloud. Freezing, combined with collisions between ice and water, appears to be a critical part of the initial charge development and separation process. During wind-driven collisions, ice crystals tend to develop a positive charge, while a heavier, slushy mixture of ice and water (called graupel) develops a negative charge. Updrafts within a storm cloud separate the lighter ice crystals from the heavier graupel, causing the top region of the cloud to accumulate a positive space charge

This star can be positioned anywhere the telescope desires to point, opening up much greater amounts of the sky to adaptive optics. Because the laser beam is deflected by astronomical seeing on the way up, the returning laser light does not move around in the sky as astronomical sources do. In order to keep astronomical images steady, a natural star nearby in the sky must be monitored in order that the motion of the laser guide star can be subtracted

Hypothesis for cause One possible reason that people fall victim to knowledge neglect is because people tend to have a truth bias, meaning that people tend to believe that the information they hear is true. With the truth bias, people are inclined to believe that plausible information is true, regardless of the source of such information or their own prior knowledge. For this reason, individuals may fall victim to knowledge neglect simply because they aren't

Julius of Tarent Julius of Tarent (German: Julius von Tarent) is a dramatic tragedy by Johann Anton Leisewitz. Published in 1774, it is a notable work of the Sturm und Drang era. The play was a favourite of Friedrich Schiller and much acted in Germany. Its central theme is the struggle between the two princes Julius and Guido of Tarent for the affections of commoner Blanca. Like in Klinger's Die Zwillinge, "a dynamic but frustrated man of action," Guido, "is opposed to a more pacific, melancholy figure," Julius. The Encyclopædia Britannica describes the play as the forerunner of Friedrich Schiller's famous Sturm

the X-ray emissions is still a matter for research, as the temperature of lightning is too low to account for the X-rays observed. A number of observations by space-based telescopes have revealed even higher energy gamma ray emissions, the so-called terrestrial gamma-ray flashes (TGFs). These observations pose a challenge to current theories of lightning, especially with the recent discovery of the clear signatures of antimatter produced in lightning. Recent research has shown that secondary species, produced by these TGFs, such as electrons, positrons, neutrons or protons, can gain energies of up to several tens of MeV. Air quality The very high

The sobriquet was derived from its similarity to the top of sugar dispensers on the tables at a Coles caffetteria that existed in the Townsville CBD from about the mid 1960s to perhaps the late 1980s. The dispensers were glass, bulbous in shape on a flattened base, with a screw on metal cap and cylindrical projecting spout in the centre, of smaller diameter than the cap. The spout was sliced away in section at about 45 degrees, much like the structure that sits atop
