- Lady Philippa Howard (d. January 1683), who had issue
After the Duke's death in 1684, the Duchess married a Scot, Thomas Maxwell.
John Evelyn had a very low opinion of her: on a visit to the Duke not long before the latter's death he wrote uncharitably:
"Went to visit the Duke of Norfolk and to know whether he would sell me any of his cartoons and other drawings of Raphael and the great masters. He answered me that he would part with and sell anything for money but his wife the Duchess who stood near him; and I thought with myself that if I were in his condition she should be the first thing that I would be glad to part with." | 6,131,400 |

My Kz, Ur Bf
"My Kz, Ur Bf" (often stylised as "MY KZ, UR BF" or "My Keys, Your Boyfriend") is a song from British indie pop band Everything Everything. The track was released in the United Kingdom on 5 October 2009 as the third single from the band's debut studio album, "Man Alive" (2010).
# Background and Composition.
The song began as what Jonathan Higgs has described as "an old demo I made in a sort of R&B pastiche style". The band released this demo, under the title "Airstrike On Your Forehead", on their official SoundCloud page, explaining how the song had been altered and stripped down since the demo version.
"My Kz, Ur Bf" is characterised by its usage of numerous synthesizers, complex | 6,131,429 |
37319543 | My Kz, Ur Bf | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=My%20Kz,%20Ur%20Bf | My Kz, Ur Bf
usage of numerous synthesizers, complex syncopated rhythms, fast-paced vocals, and rich backing vocals. In a self-released video on the band's YouTube channel, Higgs describes the song's exploration of "two different types of America", referring to the stark contrast between the "superficial sitcom world" and "killing people in foreign lands". The song imagines a superimposition of the two environments, and how insignificant one would seem in the presence of the other.
# Charts.
For the chart week dated 4 September 2010, "My Kz, Ur Bf" debuted as number one hundred and twenty-one on the UK Singles Chart—marking the band's second appearance on the chart; following "Schoolin'" (#152, 2010). | 6,131,430 |

Outline of the metric system
The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the metric system – various loosely related systems of measurement that trace their origin to the decimal system of measurement introduced in France during the French Revolution.
# Nature of the metric system.
The metric system can be described as all of the following:
- System – set of interacting or interdependent components forming an integrated whole.
- System of measurement – set of units which can be used to specify anything which can be measured. Historically, systems of measurement were initially defined and regulated to support trade and internal commerce. Units were arbitrarily | 6,131,441 |
37319589 | Outline of the metric system | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Outline%20of%20the%20metric%20system | Outline of the metric system
defined by fiat (see statutory law) by the ruling entities and were not necessarily well inter-related or self-consistent. When later analyzed and scientifically, some quantities were designated as base units, meaning all other needed units of measure could be derived from them.
## Essence of the metric system.
- Introduction to the metric system
- International system of units (SI) is the system of units that has been officially endorsed under the Metre Convention since 1960. Child articles are:
## Underlying philosophy.
Discussions of the underlying philosophy of the metric system (and other systems of measure) include:
- Coherence (units of measurement)
- Realisation (metrology)

Metric units of measure.
Articles that exist for many units of measure that are related to various flavours of the metric system are catalogued below.
# History of the metric system.
History of the metric system – the metric system developed from a decimal system of measurement adopted by France after the French Revolution.
## Chronological history of the metric system.
Principal dates in the development of the metric system include:
- 1792 – Initiation of a decimal system of measurement by the French Revolutionary Government
- 1799 – The "Metre des archives" and "kilogram des archives" become the standards for the metric system.
- 1861 – Concept of unit coherence introduced by Maxwell | 6,131,443 |
37319589 | Outline of the metric system | https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Outline%20of%20the%20metric%20system | Outline of the metric system
– the base units were the centimetre, gram and second.
- 1875 – Under the Convention of the metre, a new body the General Conference on Weights and Measures (CGPM) was set up and given responsibility for the new international prototype kilogram and international prototype metre which replaced the old French copies as the definitive prototype metre and kilogram.
- 1881 – International Electric Congress agrees on standards for electrical units (formalised in 1893)
- 1921 – Convention of the metre extended to cover all physical units of measure
- 1960 – The CGPM published the metric system under the name "International System of Units" (SI) a coherent system of units based on the kilogram, | 6,131,444 |

## Historical metric system variants.
Four variants of the metric system that predate the introduction of SI (1960) are described in varying levels of detail:
- MKS system of units formed the basis for SI.
- Centimetre–gram–second system of units was the principal variant of the metric system that evolved in stages until it was superseded by SI.
- Gravitational metric system was a little-used variant of the metric system that normalised the acceleration due to gravity.
- Metre–tonne–second system of units was a variant of the metric system used in French and Russian industry between the | 6,131,446 |

# Politics of the metric system.
Prior to 1875 the metric system was controlled by the French Government. In that year, seventeen nations signed the Metre Convention and the management and administration of the system passed into international control.

Symphony No. 4 (Martinů)
The Symphony No. 4, H. 305, by Bohuslav Martinů was composed in New York City from April 1945, and completed at Martinů's summer home at Cape Cod in June 1945. The finale bears the inscription "South Orleans, 14th June, 1945".
The work is in four movements and, according to the composer, grows out of a single motif. The first movement alternates between lyrical and rhythmical material presented in variation. The second movement, in 6/8 time is a Scherzo, marked by a rhythmically irregular Dvořákian leading melody. The slow third movement is dominated by the strings with short passagework for the woodwind. The finale is an energetic reworking of earlier material and | 6,131,459 |

concludes with a vibrant tutti.
The work is dedicated to his friends Helen and William Ziegler, and was premiered on 30 November 1945 at the Academy of Music in Philadelphia by the Philadelphia Orchestra under Eugene Ormandy.

Martinů's Fourth Symphony is found amongst the earliest extant recordings of Martinů symphonies in archival holdings. The earliest is Eugene Ormandy's recording of the Second Symphony with the Philadelphia Orchestra, made on 20 January 1945.

by the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Erich Leinsdorf, on WNBC (New York), 27 March 1948. Neither of these recordings has ever been released commercially. Rafael Kubelik recorded the Fourth Symphony for the radio on 10 June 1948, and this recording was eventually given commercial release in 2012.

The Russian geoglyph refers to a geoglyph on slopes of the Zyuratkul Mountains in the Chelyabinsk region in Russia.
# Description and discovery.
The geoglyph depicts accurate contours of an animal similar to an elk or moose, with four legs, two antlers and a long snout. It may also have had a tail, however this has now been obscured. It was first detected in 2011 by Alexander Shestakov using satellite imagery. He notified researchers who surveyed the outline using a paraglider and seaplane. Research has continued into the site under Stanislav Grigoriev from the Russian Academy of Sciences Institute of History and Archaeology.

Grigoriev has found over forty stone tools resembling pickaxes during recent excavations that Grigoriev suggests show a style of Lithic reduction dating to the Neolithic or Chalcolithic periods between 4000 and 2000 BCE. Further accuracy regarding the dating of the geoglyph is hoped to be obtained from an ongoing study using pollen core analysis. This suggested dating would place the construction of the geoglyph many centuries before that of the Nazca lines in Peru, the Blythe geoglyphs in California and several in England, making it one of the oldest examples of land art in the world.

Temple of King Dongmyeong
The Temple of King Dongmyeong (Hangul: 동명왕 신사, Hanja: 東明王 神祠), also known as the Temple of Jumong (Hangul: 주몽사, Hanja: 朱蒙祠), was a shamanistic temple dedicated to King Dongmyeong of Goguryeo, the founder of the Korean kingdom of Goguryeo. It existed in at least two places; one in the Liaodong Peninsula and another in the Korean Peninsula.
The temple was standing even in the medieval Goryeo Dynasty; however, it has currently been lost to history.

boundaries of Goguryeo, was threatened by an invasion from the Tang Dynasty of China. The record mentions that there was a temple dedicated to Jumong, or King Dongmyeong, in Yodong Fortress. Inside the temple was a suit of chain armor and a sharp spear. The people of Yodong believed that the armor and the spear had fallen from the heavens during the 4th century.
As the battle for Yodong Fortress continued, a beautiful maiden pretended to be the wife of King Dongmyeong to please the dead king. Meanwhile, a mudang, or shaman, said; "The fortress shall be safe, for Jumong is in a pleasant mood."
Thus, in Goguryeo society, King Dongmyeong was believed to embody a suit of chain armor and a sharp | 6,131,499 |
