The British Isles are a group of islands off the north-western coast of continental Europe that consist of the islands of Great Britain, Ireland and over six thousand smaller isles. Situated in the North Atlantic, the islands have a total area of approximately 315,159 km2, and a combined population of just under 70 million. Two sovereign states are located on the islands: Ireland (which covers roughly five-sixths of the island with the same name) and the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. The British Isles also include three Crown Dependencies: the Isle of Man and, by tradition, the Bailiwick of Jersey and the Bailiwick of Guernsey in the Channel Islands, although the latter are not physically a part of the archipelago.

Originally the Emperor and non-warrior nobility employed these warrior nobles. In time, they amassed enough manpower, resources and political backing in the form of alliances with one another, to establish the first samurai-dominated government. As the power of these regional clans grew, their chief was typically a distant relative of the Emperor and a lesser member of either the Fujiwara, Minamoto, or Taira clans. Though originally sent to provincial areas for a fixed four-year term as a magistrate, the toryo declined to return to the capital when their terms ended, and their sons inherited their positions and continued to lead the clans in putting down rebellions throughout Japan during the middle- and later-Heian period. Because of their rising military and economic power, the warriors ultimately became a new force in the politics of the court. Their involvement in the Hōgen in the late Heian period consolidated their power, and finally pitted the rival Minamoto and Taira clans against each other in the Heiji Rebellion of 1160.

According to the Primary Chronicle, the territories of the East Slavs in the 9th century were divided between the Varangians and the Khazars. The Varangians are first mentioned imposing tribute from Slavic and Finnic tribes in 859. In 862, the Finnic and Slavic tribes in the area of Novgorod rebelled against the Varangians, driving them "back beyond the sea and, refusing them further tribute, set out to govern themselves." The tribes had no laws, however, and soon began to make war with one another, prompting them to invite the Varangians back to rule them and bring peace to the region:

Whenever you get iron, water and oxygen together, you get rust. So the best way to prevent it is to keep them apart; that's what paint does, or the spray-on wax and oil coatings that the car protection companies sell. Keep your tools dry; wipe down your bike after a ride; keep the water away and it can't rust.ur friends at Instructables show how you can use electricity to remove rust: ...basically you set up a conductive solution and insert some sacrificial anodes. You hang your rusted tool in the solution and attach it to the negative end of the power supply. You attach the positive end to the anode and turn on the power.

Elliot Sperling, a specialist of Indian studies and the director of the Tibetan Studies program at Indiana University’s Department of Central Eurasia Studies, writes that "the idea that Tibet became part of China in the 13th century is a very recent construction." He writes that Chinese writers of the early 20th century were of the view that Tibet was not annexed by China until the Manchu Qing dynasty invasion during the 18th century. He also states that Chinese writers of the early 20th century described Tibet as a feudal dependency of China, not an integral part of it. Sperling states that this is because "Tibet was ruled as such, within the empires of the Mongols and the Manchus" and also that "China's intervening Ming dynasty ... had no control over Tibet." He writes that the Ming relationship with Tibet is problematic for China’s insistence of its unbroken sovereignty over Tibet since the 13th century. As for the Tibetan view that Tibet was never subject to the rule of the Yuan or Qing emperors of China, Sperling also discounts this by stating that Tibet was "subject to rules, laws and decisions made by the Yuan and Qing rulers" and that even Tibetans described themselves as subjects of these emperors.

Belmont Stakes The Belmont Stakes is traditionally called "The Test of the Champion" because of its 1.5 mile length — by far the longest of the three Triple Crown races, and one of the longest for a first-class race in the United States on the dirt. It is also known as "The Run for the Carnations" because the winning horse is draped with a blanket of white carnations after the race, in similar fashion to the blanket of roses and black-eyed Susans for the Derby and Preakness, respectively. The winning owner is ceremonially presented with the silver winner's trophy, designed by Paulding Farnham for Tiffany and Co. It was first presented to August Belmont, Jr. in 1896 and donated by the Belmont family for annual presentation in 1926.

What are the Parts of the Backgammon Board? Advanced Strategies What are the Parts of the Backgammon Board? In your initial study of the game of backgammon you might have come across the terms bar, inner and outer tables, mid-point, bar-point, and a host of other terms used in this game. These terms refer to certain areas or parts of your backgammon board. It will help you a lot in your study of the game to learn the different parts of your backgammon board. Let's start with the bar, it refers to the vertical division in the middle of your backgammon board. This is a ridge on your board that is raised dividing the backgammon board into two sections. The bar is also where checkers that are hit are sent. In relation to the bar we also come across what is known as the inner board and the outer board. Since your backgammon board is divided into two sides by the bar what you have on the left side of the bar is called the outer table or outer board. The other side (which is the part to the right of the bar on the backgammon board) , as you might have guessed, is called the inner board or the inner table. The inner table or inner board contain your home board and your opponent's home board as well. The elongated triangles you see on the board are called pips or points and these indicate the positions of the checkers you play. These pips or points have designated names that are used whenever we're talking about positions on the backgammon board. We'll now go over the names used to refer to the different points on the backgammon board. Our first pip on the backgammon board is known as the Ace point. The Ace point is your number one pip, and consequently your 24-point is your opponent's Ace point. We now move off to what is known as the bar point. The bar point refers to the number seven pip, which is thus called simply because it is right next to the bar. Your opponent's bar point is your number 18 point. We now move off to our next pip name - the mid-point. The mid-point is another name for your 13-point. This pip or point on your backgammon board is usually stacked with a lot of checkers. In which case your opponent's mid-point is your number 12 pip. These are the terms that refer to the different parts of your backgammon board. If ever you've come across these terms you'll be able to identify what part of the board they refer to. Site Menu

Good Luck Charlie is an American sitcom that originally aired on Disney Channel from April 4, 2010, to February 16, 2014. The series' creators, Phil Baker and Drew Vaupen, wanted to create a program that would appeal to entire families, not just children. It focuses on the Duncan family of Denver as they adjust to the births of their fourth and fifth children, Charlotte "Charlie" (Mia Talerico) and Toby (Logan Moreau). In each episode, Teddy Duncan (Bridgit Mendler) adds to a video diary that contains advice for Charlie about their family and life as a teenager. Teddy tries to show Charlie what she might go through when she is older for future reference. Each video diary ends with Teddy (or another family member, even Charlie) saying the eponymous phrase, ""Good luck, Charlie"".

`` Bohemian Rhapsody '' is a song by the British rock band Queen . It was written by Freddie Mercury for the band 's 1975 album A Night at the Opera . It is a six-minute suite , consisting of several sections without a chorus : an intro , a ballad segment , an operatic passage , a hard rock part and a reflective coda . The song is a more accessible take on the 1970s progressive rock genre . It was reportedly the most expensive single ever made at the time of its release , though the exact cost of production can not be determined . When it was released as a single , `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' became a commercial success , staying at the top of the UK Singles Chart for nine weeks and selling more than a million copies by the end of January 1976 . It reached number one again in 1991 for another five weeks when the same version was re-released , eventually becoming the UK 's third-best-selling single of all time . It is also the only song to be Christmas number one twice by the same artist . It topped the charts in several other markets as well , including Canada , Australia , New Zealand , Ireland and The Netherlands , later becoming one of the best-selling singles of all time . In the United States the song originally peaked at number nine in 1976 . It returned to the chart at number two in 1992 following Freddie Mercury 's death in 1991 , as well as its appearance in the film Wayne 's World , which revived its American popularity . Although critical reaction was initially mixed , `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' remains one of Queen 's most popular songs and is frequently placed on modern lists of the greatest songs of all time . The single was accompanied by a promotional video , which many scholars consider ground-breaking . Rolling Stone magazine states : `` Its influence can not be overstated , practically inventing the music video seven years before MTV went on the air . '' In 2004 , `` Bohemian Rhapsody '' was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame . In 2012 , the song topped the list on an ITV nationwide poll in the UK to find `` The Nation 's Favourite Number One '' over 60 years of music .

Netherlands travel guide - Wikitravel Time Zone UTC +1 The Netherlands ( Dutch : Nederland, also commonly, but incorrectly, called Holland) is a European country, bordering Germany to the east, Belgium to the south, and France in the Caribbean as the Dutch territory Sint Maarten borders French territory Saint-Martin . The people, language, and culture of the Netherlands are referred to as "Dutch". With over 16 million people on an area of just 41,543km², it's a densely populated country with its gorgeous capital Amsterdam being just one of many interesting cities. Once a great naval power, this small nation boasts a wealth of cultural heritage and is famous for its painters, windmills, clogs and notoriously flat lands. A modern European country today, it preserved its highly international character and is known for its liberal mentality. As a founding member of EU and NATO, and host to the International Court of Justice in The Hague , the Netherlands is at the heart of international cooperation. Its small size, welcoming attitude to travellers and many sights make it a unique and fairly easy to discover destination and a great addition to any European trip. Regions[ edit ] The Netherlands is a constitutional monarchy, administratively divided into 12 provinces (provincies). Even though the Netherlands is a small country, these provinces are quite diverse and have plenty of cultural and linguistic differences. They can be divided in four regions: Regions of the Netherlands Southern Netherlands ( Limburg , North Brabant , Zeeland ) Divided from the rest by its Catholic history, carnival celebrations and its "Burgundian way of life". This article describes the European part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The Caribbean islands Bonaire , Sint Eustatius and Saba are "special municipalities" fully integrated in the Netherlands proper. Beside the Netherlands proper, Aruba , Curaçao and Sint Maarten are constituent countries within the Kingdom of the Netherlands. Cities[ edit ] The Netherlands has many cities and towns of interest to travellers. Below are nine of the most notable ones: Amsterdam — impressive architecture, lovely canals (grachten), museums and liberal attitudes Arnhem — green city on the Rhine: Sonsbeek, Veluwe and Meinerswijk, old quarters and mansions, cultural events Delft — historic unspoiled town with the world-famous blue and white ceramics Groningen — student city with a relaxed atmosphere and nightlife till the sun gets up The Hague — the judicial capital of the world, the seat of government and the royal family Leiden — historic student city with the country's oldest university and three national museums Maastricht — fortified medieval city showing the different culture, style and architecture of the south Nijmegen — oldest city of the country, known for its marches, left-wing politics and large student population Rotterdam — modern architecture, good nightlife, vibrant art scene and the largest port of Europe Utrecht — historic centre, antique stores and the Rietveld-Schröder House These are some interesting destinations outside of the major cities.

When was Neptune discovered? | Cool Cosmos When was Neptune discovered? Neptune was the first planet to be discovered by using mathematics. After the discovery of Uranus in 1781, astronomers noticed that the planet was being pulled slightly out of its normal orbit. John Couch Adams of Britain and Urbain Jean Joseph Leverrier of France, used mathematics to predict that the gravity from another planet beyond Uranus was affecting the orbit of Uranus. They figured out not only where the planet was, but also how much mass it had. A young astronomer, Johann Gottfried Galle, decided to search for the predicted planet and observed Neptune for the first time in 1846. Continue the conversation on

How long does it take to become a psychologist? How long does it take to become a psychologist? The time it takes to become a psychologist depends largely on your specialty area and career interest. But here is a general timeline. The Path to Becoming a Psychologist First, you will need a bachelor's degree (4 to 5 years), which teaches the fundamentals of psychology. After that, you will need a master's degree (2 to 3 years), which can qualify you to practice in the field as a case manager, employment specialist, or social worker. Then, most state licensing boards require a doctorate (4 to 7 years). The type of doctoral degree you choose––either a Doctor of Psychology (Psy D) or Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology (Ph D)––will depend on your career goals. Many states also require post-doctoral training equivalent to about 1 year of work. While there are several excellent psychology career options that do not require as many years of education as it takes to become a licensed clinical psychologist, the benefits of doing so — including the satisfaction of helping others and a higher salary — can compensate for the additional years of education it will require. Bachelor's Degree (4 to 5 Years)Whether you're pursuing a new career or looking to continue your studies at the graduate level, a bachelor's degree can help you develop an understanding of human learning, emotions, and behaviors. Potential employment settings with a bachelor's in psychology could include nonprofit organizations, market research firms, social services agencies, government, marketing departments, or advertising agencies. Master's Degree (2 to 3 Years)A master's degree will give you a broad introduction to the field of psychology. You can then use your electives to focus your study in a particular field. Successful graduates of this program often pursue positions in education, government, human services, health care mental health care, and marketing/advertising. You may also use this program to prepare for doctoral studies in your particular area of interest Doctoral Degree (4 to 7 Years)The required degree for licensure is typically a Doctor of Psychology (Psy D) or Doctor of Philosophy in Psychology (Ph D). Your choice of degree will depend on your career goals and whether you want a career in practice (Psy D) or in research (Ph D), or some combination thereof. The Psy D is a professional degree and focuses more on practice and clinical work. The Ph D places more emphasis on experimental methods and research. A Psy D prepares you for a career as a practicing psychologist. A Ph D produces psychologists who can understand and apply research as well as conduct it. Potential employment settings with a Psy D or Ph D can include schools and colleges, health care systems, government, nonprofit organizations, social service agencies, and market research firms.

While full-time work hinders schooling, empirical evidence is varied on the relationship between part-time work and school. Sometimes even part-time work may hinder school attendance or performance. On the other hand, many poor children work for resources to attend school. Children who are not doing well at school sometimes seek more satisfactory experience in work. Good relations with a supervisor at work can provide relief from tensions that children feel at school and home. In the modern world, school education has become so central to society that schoolwork has become the dominant work for most children, often replacing participation in productive work. If school curricula or quality do not provide children with appropriate skills for available jobs or if children do nor have the aptitude for schoolwork, school may impede the learning of skills, such as agriculture, which will become necessary for future livelihood.

Her early songs were personally driven and female-empowerment themed compositions like "Independent Women" and "Survivor", but after the start of her relationship with Jay Z she transitioned to more man-tending anthems such as "Cater 2 U". Beyoncé has also received co-producing credits for most of the records in which she has been involved, especially during her solo efforts. However, she does not formulate beats herself, but typically comes up with melodies and ideas during production, sharing them with producers.

Note however, that even if you fly into the Grand Canyon airport, it will cost you quite a bit and there are many overlooks and other parts of the canyon that you need a car to reach. I would recommend just flying into Phoenix and then getting a cheap rental car.

Optical telescope The basic scheme is that the primary light-gathering element the objective (1) (the convex lens or concave mirror used to gather the incoming light), focuses that light from the distant object (4) to a focal plane where it forms a real image (5). This image may be recorded or viewed through an eyepiece (2), which acts like a magnifying glass. The eye (3) then sees an inverted magnified virtual image (6) of the object.

Jackson at the White House in 1984 Background information Birth name Michael Joseph Jackson Born August 29, 1958(1958-08-29) Died June 25, 2009 (aged 50) Los Angeles, California, U.S. Genres Pop, dance, rock, R&B, soul, new jack swing Occupations Singer, songwriter, record producer, composer, dancer, choreographer, actor, author, businessman, philanthropist Instruments Vocals, guitar, beat boxing, piano, drums Years active 1964–2009 Associated acts The Jackson 5 Website http://www.michaeljackson.com Michael Joseph Jackson (August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009) was an American recording artist, entertainer, and philanthropist. Referred to as the King of Pop, Jackson is recognized as the most successful entertainer of all time by Guinness World Records. His contribution to music, dance and fashion, along with a much-publicized personal life, made him a global figure in popular culture for over four decades. The eighth child of the Jackson family, he debuted on the professional music scene alongside his brothers as a member of The Jackson 5 in the mid-1960s, and began his solo career in 1971. In the early 1980s, Jackson became a dominant figure in popular music. The music videos for his songs, such as "Beat It", "Billie Jean" and "Thriller", were credited with transforming the medium into an art form and a promotional tool, and the popularity of these videos helped to bring the relatively new television channel MTV to fame. Videos such as "Black or White" and "Scream" made him a staple on MTV in the 1990s. Through stage performances and music videos, Jackson popularized a number of dance techniques, such as the robot and the moonwalk. His distinctive musical sound and vocal style have influenced numerous hip hop, pop, contemporary R&B and rock artists. Jackson's 1982 album Thriller is the best-selling album of all time. His other records, including Off the Wall (1979), Bad (1987), Dangerous (1991) and HIStory (1995), also rank among the world's best-selling. Jackson is one of the few artists to have been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice. Some of his other achievements include multiple Guinness World Records; 13 Grammy Awards (as well as the Grammy Legend Award and the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award); 26 American Music Awards (more than any other artist, including the "Artist of the Century"); 13 number-one singles in the United States in his solo career (more than any other male artist in the Hot 100 era); and the estimated sale of over 800 million records worldwide. Jackson won hundreds of awards, which have made him the most-awarded recording artist in the history of music. He was also a notable humanitarian and philanthropist, donating and raising hundreds of millions of dollars for beneficial causes and supporting more than 39 charities. Aspects of Jackson's personal life, including his changing appearance, personal relationships and behavior, generated controversy. In 1993, he was accused of child sexual abuse, but the case was settled and no formal charges were brought. In 2005, he was tried and acquitted of further sexual abuse allegations and several other charges after the jury ruled him not guilty on all counts. Amidst the preparations for the concert series This Is It, Jackson died on June 25, 2009, after suffering from cardiac arrest. Before his death, Jackson had reportedly been administered drugs such as propofol and lorazepam. The Los Angeles County Coroner declared his death a homicide, and his personal physician pleaded not guilty to charges of involuntary manslaughter. Jackson's death triggered a global outpouring of grief, and as many as a billion people around the world may have watched his public memorial service on live television. In March 2010, Sony Music Entertainment signed a US$250 million deal with Jackson

Most bacterial species are either spherical, called cocci (sing. coccus, from Greek kókkos, grain, seed), or rod-shaped, called bacilli (sing. bacillus, from Latin baculus, stick). Elongation is associated with swimming. Some bacteria, called vibrio, are shaped like slightly curved rods or comma-shaped; others can be spiral-shaped, called spirilla, or tightly coiled, called spirochaetes. A small number of species even have tetrahedral or cuboidal shapes. More recently, some bacteria were discovered deep under Earth's crust that grow as branching filamentous types with a star-shaped cross-section. The large surface area to volume ratio of this morphology may give these bacteria an advantage in nutrient-poor environments. This wide variety of shapes is determined by the bacterial cell wall and cytoskeleton, and is important because it can influence the ability of bacteria to acquire nutrients, attach to surfaces, swim through liquids and escape predators.

Unchained Melody "Unchained Melody" reappeared on the Billboard charts in 1990 after The Righteous Brothers' recording was used in the box office blockbuster film Ghost. Two versions charted in the US that year – the original and a new recording. According to Medley, he was interested in having the original recording released due to the renewed interest in the song, but was told that there were licensing issues. Although Hatfield was no longer in the same condition vocally as when he first recorded the song, they decided to re-record the song for Curb Records.[44] The re-recorded version was released as both a cassette single[45] and a CD single.[46] It received minimal airplay but recorded excellent sales, peaking at number 19. The re-recorded version was certified Platinum by the RIAA on January 10, 1991,[47] and received a Grammy Award nomination.[48]

Aside from one high-profile relationship with “Dynasty” actress Linda Evans in the ‘90s, not much has been reported on the Greek-born pianist’s personal life. From his partners to his family members, Yanni has typically kept his loved ones tightly guarded. In fact, up until a few months ago, most of the world believed Yanni never had any children. Then, in April, Yanni quietly confirmed that he had a daughter. On “Oprah: Where Are They Now?”, Yanni introduces his daughter for the first time, offering a rare glimpse their relationship. As she takes photographs of Yanni backstage at London’s Royal Albert Hall before a concert, he opens up to the cameras.“The world is beginning to find out that I do have a daughter,” Yanni says in the clip above. “And she is absolutely beautiful, inside and out. Her name is Krystal Ann.”The 32-years-old Krystal Ann is a dedicated part of Yanni’s marketing team — and has been for years.“She pretty much runs my social media,” he says. “So, all the fans around the world know her, but most of them didn’t realize that was my daughter.”A doting father, Yanni says he and Krystal Ann have a special bond. “She’s the love of my life. I love her,” Yanni says. “We’re very, very close.”In the video below, Yanni talks about his relationship with Linda Evans on Huff Post Live, explaining why it was his fault they split.“Oprah: Where Are They Now?” airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on OWN.

Fish in general is an amazing source of lean protein. 100 grams of light tuna (only about 200 calories) contain an insane 30 grams of protein. That's three times as much as a glass of milk. To sweeten the deal, a can of tuna should only set you back a buck or two and can be easily transported to work and whipped up into a tasty salad.

Prince Albert's death finally solved 150 years, he was suffering Crohn's disease | Daily Mail Online comments His sudden death 150 years ago this week propelled his adoring wife, Queen Victoria, into life-long mourning. And until now it had always been thought that Prince Albert’s unexpected passing on December 14, 1861 - at the age of just 42 - had been caused by a virulent bout of typhoid fever. Now an acclaimed historian, who has spent the last three years researching the death of the Prince Consort, believes he actually succumbed to a very modern affliction – Crohn’s Disease. Mystery solved: Historian Helen Rappaport who has uncovered details about the death of Prince Albert Crohn’s is a serious – and sometimes fatal - form of inflammatory bowel disease that today affects one in 500 people. While the exact cause is unknown, the condition is linked to a problem with the body’s immune system response. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share A person’s genes and environmental factors seem to play a role in the development of Crohn’s disease, but it usually occurs in people between ages 15 - 35. Symptoms can come in waves and include debilitating and crampy abdominal pain, fever, fatigue, loss of appetite, chronic diarrhoea, liver inflammation and weight loss. So were the Royal Family simply mistaken about Albert’s death or was there a cover up? According to author Helen Rappaport - who has been given unrivalled access to contemporary records including both Albert and Victoria’s private letters, the Royal Archives and records of the Royal Household – the Queen’s husband had been chronically sick on and off all his adult life and suffered from long-standing gastric problems. Deep bond: Queen Victoria was distraught after Prince Albert's death at the age of 42 This was never verified by doctors after his death, however, as grieving Victoria refused to allow a post-mortem to be carried out on her beloved husband. So Rappaport took her findings, contained in a detailed 14-page medical dossier, to the John Radcliffe Hospital in Oxford where Dr Chris Conlon, consultant in infectious diseases including typhoid, and Dr Simon Travis, consultant in gastroenterology, examined them in detail. Having looked at the evidence, both doctors dismissed typhoid fever and cancer as possible causes of death and concluded the evidence for Crohn’s looked very strong. They pointed out that there are a number of similarities between the symptoms displayed by those suffering from typhoid fever and Crohn’s disease, including fever and severe abdominal pain, which may have accounted for confusion at the time. QUEEN VICTORIA'S GRIEF Her grief over the loss of her husband, Prince Albert, came to define her entire reign. The extent of Queen Victoria’s despair has been laid bare in a previously unseen letter, in which she expresses the hope that she will go to an early grave. The remarkably candid letter, which has been acquired by London auctioneers Argyll Etkin, is thought to be the first in the public domain in which the Queen yearns for her own death, so she can be reunited with her husband. Victoria wrote the ‘astonishing’ letter in March 1863, some 15 months after Albert’s death, to 82-year-old Viscount Gough. The hospital will be holding a seminar into the issue entitled ‘What Killed Prince Albert?”’ next month. The author then went to a Crohn’s specialist in Belgium, Philippe van Hootegem of the Faculty of Medicine at the University of Leuven. In his written reply, he says: ‘You were able to collect from letters and diaries a lot of details concerning the health problems of the Prince. These data clearly demonstrate the presence of a chronic condition with several years of intermittent episodes of symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal cramps, inability to eat for several days, attacks of diarrhoea etc… leading eventually to a more serious situation of acute illness with rapid deterioration and death at the age of 42. ‘A chronic inflammatory bowel disease such as Crohn’s disease could certainly explain a

The primary circadian "clock" in mammals is located in the suprachiasmatic nucleus (or nuclei) (SCN), a pair of distinct groups of cells located in the hypothalamus. Destruction of the SCN results in the complete absence of a regular sleep–wake rhythm. The SCN receives information about illumination through the eyes. The retina of the eye contains "classical" photoreceptors ("rods" and "cones"), which are used for conventional vision. But the retina also contains specialized ganglion cells that are directly photosensitive, and project directly to the SCN, where they help in the entrainment (synchronization) of this master circadian clock.

6 Famous Naval Mutinies - History Lists History Lists November 6, 2012 By Evan Andrews Share this: Google Few accusations in maritime history were more serious than the charge of mutiny. Yet that didn’t stop countless sailors from attempting open rebellions on the high seas. Most of these mutinies were violent outbursts provoked by poor morale or mistreatment, but others helped inspire revolutions and even toppled governments. Get the facts on six of history’s most ferocious naval rebellions. The Mutiny on the Bounty The 1789 mutiny on the Bounty saw a rebellious crew hijack their ship and build their own island community. Commanded by William Bligh, HMS Bounty left England in December 1787 on a mission to collect breadfruit saplings in the South Pacific. During a five-month layover in Tahiti, many of the ship’s crew became enamored with island life and even married the local women. They also became increasingly dissatisfied with Bligh, who often flogged his men for dereliction of duty. Shortly after the Bounty left Tahiti in April 1789, a group of disgruntled crewmembers revolted and took their commander prisoner. Led by master’s mate Fletcher Christian, the mutineers forced Bligh and 18 loyalists into a small launch and abandoned them at sea. Amazingly, Bligh eventually led this dinghy on a 3,600-mile voyage to a safe port in Timor. He would go on to weather two more mutinies during his long naval career. Now in command of the Bounty, the mutineers sailed for the island of Tubuai before returning to Tahiti. Some of the men remained on the island and were later captured by the Royal Navy, but Christian and a small band of followers continued sailing in search of a safe place to hide. Along with a group of Tahitians, in January 1790 the men settled on Pitcairn, an isolated island in the South Pacific. The last of the rebels died on Pitcairn in 1829, but descendants of Bounty mutineers still live on the island to this day. The Potemkin Mutiny Although it was initially sparked by a mundane argument over food, the Potemkin mutiny became one of the pivotal events in the 1905 Russian Revolution. The revolt occurred during the Russo-Japanese War when the 700 crewmen of the battleship Potemkin were given rations of borscht made from maggot-ridden meat. Told to eat the tainted broth or face extreme punishment, the sailors rebelled. Under the leadership of a revolutionary mariner named Afanasy Matyushenko, the crew killed nearly half the ship’s officers in a bloody shootout before commandeering Potemkin and the torpedo boat Ismail. Russia’s Black Sea fleet was soon mobilized to crush the mutineers, but their crews were sympathetic to the plight of the Potemkin sailors and refused to fire on them. Matyushenko and his triumphant rebels would go on to sail for a total of 11 days before finally surrendering the battleship in Romania. Most of the crewmen remained in exile there, but some—including Matyushenko—later returned to Russia only to be arrested and executed. The Potemkin mutiny was later immortalized in the 1925 silent film “Battleship Potemkin,” and was a significant influence on the 1917 revolution that led to the Soviet Union’s creation. The Hermione Mutiny On the night of September 21, 1797, the Royal Navy vessel Hermione was trawling the Caribbean when the crew initiated the bloodiest mutiny in British naval history. Furious at the draconian punishments meted out by their captain, Hugh Pigot, roughly 30 men split into groups and launched a coordinated attack on their superiors. The rebels—many drunk on rum—stabbed Pigot to death in his cabin and then proceeded to brutally slaughter several officers with cutlasses and tomahawks. Once in control of the ship, they dragged the rest of the officers to the main deck. Those whom the crew approved of were spared, but the rest were simply tossed overboard. In total, 10 officers were murdered during the uprising. Knowing they could never return to England, the mutineers sailed for La Guaira in modern-day Venezuela. Claiming they had merely marooned their officers in a dinghy, they

See more » Quotes Vintage Spielberg In Both The Good & Bad 27 January 2007 | by ccthemovieman-1 (United States) – See all my reviews As with many Steven Spielberg films, this is a beautiful-looking movie, scene-after-scene almost looking like paintings. To me, that was the main attraction of the movie because the story - although powerful - to me, wasn't as appealing as the rich visuals. It's also one of those films almost guaranteed to bring a tear or two to ones eyes at the end. This is much more involving story if you are a woman or black person, because you can relate more to the characters in the film. As with typical Hollywood, political correctness rules: most of the men (white or black) are bad while the women (mostly black) are all good. If you are a male watching the movie, this bias in the story can be very annoying. Individually, I remember first watching this (I've seen it a couple of times) and being surprised what a good actress Oprah Winfrey was, and how appealing was Whoopi Goldberg's character "Celie." Goldberg became a star after this film (also for her comedy

The European powers recognized the islands as part of the Spanish East Indies in 1874. However, Spain sold the islands to the German Empire in 1884, and they became part of German New Guinea in 1885. In World War I the Empire of Japan occupied the Marshall Islands, which in 1919 the League of Nations combined with other former German territories to form the South Pacific Mandate. In World War II, the United States conquered the islands in the Gilbert and Marshall Islands campaign. Along with other Pacific Islands, the Marshall Islands were then consolidated into the Trust Territory of the Pacific Islands governed by the US. Self-government was achieved in 1979, and full sovereignty in 1986, under a Compact of Free Association with the United States. Marshall Islands has been a United Nations member state since 1991.

Editor:
While we continue to bleed tree-canopy loss in our communities, it is clear that councils who continue to give the green light to large infrastructure projects simply do not understand what they are creating in terms of future damage to our communities.
I would like to remind them of the value of maintaining tree life on our streets and avenues, and within parks and wooded sections of our cities:
• Trees absorb the CO2 in the atmosphere and store the carbon while releasing oxygen back into the air;
• Trees absorb pollutants and gases in the air, including nitrogen oxides, sulphur dioxides, ammonia and ozone;
• In one year, an acre of trees provide enough oxygen for 18 people to breathe;
• Trees provide shade and keep us cool in hot weather. They can reduce temperatures on streets and in cities by up to 10 degrees Fahrenheit, whereas concrete and asphalt are heat-trapping;
• Trees help us conserve energy by reducing the need for the use of air conditioning in houses where trees are present nearby;
• Trees conserve water by reducing evaporation of it by heat and by ensuring that water loss is minimized by absorbing rainfall through their root systems instead of losing it to runoff;
• Trees act like sponges and help remove pollutants from rainfall water before it reaches storm drains and bodies of water;
• Trees help reduce soil erosion and landslides with their root systems and reduce flood potential;
• Trees can reduce exposure to UVB rays from the sun by up to 50 per cent;
• Neighbourhoods and homes that are barren have been shown to have a greater incidence of violence in and out of the home than their greener counterparts. Trees and landscaping help to reduce the level of fear;
• Trees provide a home and a habitat for wildlife. Imagine how challenging it has become for bird life to find appropriate nesting sites to help raise the next generation of their species. Birds are being squeezed out of many communities due to a complete lack of nest-building sites;
• The beauty of a well-planted property and its surrounding street and neighbourhood can raise property values by as much as 15 per cent;
• Studies show that the more trees and landscaping a business district has, the more business will flow in.
• A tree-lined street will also slow traffic – enough to allow the drivers to look at the storefronts instead of whizzing by.
These are just some of the many reasons for us to preserve trees and make them a large part of our communities, instead of clear-cutting huge swaths of them for what is promoted as ‘affordable housing’ for our growing communities and instead becomes yet another money-maker for a developer who cares little about the frivolous topic of tree preservation in the community.
Trees have communities, too, and communicate with each other to help them preserve and care for themselves through transportation of enzymes through their root systems.
If trees could talk, they would tell us that by removing them in the vast numbers that we continue to do, they are no longer able to help protect us from the future that awaits us in a world bereft of trees.
Wake up, community councils, and smell the coffee before the only thing we will be smelling is the slow burn of our communities from the ravages of our rapidly overheated climate. Stop the carnage before Mother Nature turns her back on us completely.

J. Robert Oppenheimer - Biography, Facts and Pictures Blog J. Robert Oppenheimer J. Robert Oppenheimer, also known as “the father of the atomic bomb”, was an American nuclear physicist and director of the Los Alamos Laboratory (Manhattan Project). With a project so big that involved the hard work of hundreds of gifted scientists, it may appear quite undue to give so much credit on the shoulders of Oppenheimer. Oppenheimer is, however, still the sole creator and inventor of the nuclear bomb to most people in the world. Advertisements Early Life and Education: Born in 1904 in New York City to a rich Jewish father, Oppenheimer became one of the brightest students at Harvard University at a youthful age of seventeen. He also went to Cambridge University in England for higher studies, where Ernest Rutherford , the famous British chemist and physicist, was his teacher. Oppenheimer acquired his Ph.D. from University of Göttingen in Germany. Although he spent most of his time carrying out research and publishing books about quantum theory and theoretical physics, he was probably more interested in the classics and Eastern philosophy. In 1929, Oppenheimer topped in all the units at the University of California and the California Institute of Technology. Most of the times, Oppenheimer had almost no time for his personal life. The growing popularity of Nazism in Germany during the 1930s, however, became a major event in his life, as it led him towards politics and resistance against the European fascist movement. Oppenheimer subsequently joined left-wing politics, and became associated with several left-leaning organizations, which were somehow linked to the Communist Party. Contributions and Achievements: Niels Bohr and other European scientists informed their American contemporaries about the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute’s successful attempt of splitting the atom in 1939. President Roosevelt was much concerned that the Nazis may utilize this extraordinary technology to create an atomic weapon. This fear led him to institute the Manhattan Project in 1941. Oppenheimer was appointed the scientific director of the project. He advised that the project be housed at Los Alamos in New Mexico. After extensive hard work and rigorous struggle, the first nuclear bomb was exploded on July 16, 1945, with the power of approximately 18,000 tons of TNT, at Alamogordo Air Force Base in southern New Mexico. Within one month, two atomic bombs were dropped on Japan. The event almost instantly ended the war, after which Oppenheimer was made the chairperson of the U.S. Atomic Energy Commission. Later Life and Death: Oppenheimer, due to his conscience and regrets over making such horrible weapons of mass destruction, opposed the development of the hydrogen bomb in 1949. The bomb is often thought to be the Truman administration’s answer to the Soviet acquisition of the atomic bomb. Due to this unexpected move, Edward Teller, his colleague at Los Alamos, was made the director of the new project. Oppenheimer’s patriotism was also questioned and he was even accused of “communist sympathies” due to his past political affiliations. For the rest of his life, he shunned politics and performed his duties as the director of the Institute of Advanced Study at Princeton. Oppenheimer died of cancer in Princeton in 1967. Advertisements

Thermally, a temperate glacier is at melting point throughout the year, from its surface to its base. The ice of a polar glacier is always below freezing point from the surface to its base, although the surface snowpack may experience seasonal melting. A sub-polar glacier includes both temperate and polar ice, depending on depth beneath the surface and position along the length of the glacier. In a similar way, the thermal regime of a glacier is often described by the temperature at its base alone. A cold-based glacier is below freezing at the ice-ground interface, and is thus frozen to the underlying substrate. A warm-based glacier is above or at freezing at the interface, and is able to slide at this contact. This contrast is thought to a large extent to govern the ability of a glacier to effectively erode its bed, as sliding ice promotes plucking at rock from the surface below. Glaciers which are partly cold-based and partly warm-based are known as polythermal.

Triple threat: the trouble with theatrical trilogies | Stage | The Guardian Mark Lawson's Theatre studies Triple threat: the trouble with theatrical trilogies Dramatic triptychs – from Aeschylus’s Oresteia to Rona Munro’s James plays – are expensive to stage and bum-numbing to watch. Do they deliver three times the pleasure? Rare form … Sofie Gråbøl and Jamie Sives in The True Mirror, the third part of Rona Munro’s James trilogy. Photograph: Murdo MacLeod/Guardian Share on Messenger Close Like a maternity ward deluged with multiple births, contemporary British writing is full of triplets. In literature, Hilary Mantel and Will Self are working on the final parts of trilogies featuring, respectively, the historical Thomas Cromwell and the fictional Dr Zack Busner. And, in theatre, Rona Munro’s sequence of linked plays about Scottish Kings – James I, James II and James III – have just transferred from the National Theatre of Scotland to the National Theatre of Great Britain in London. While novelistic trios are relatively common, the form is much rarer in theatre. The reasons are largely logistical: literary trilogies can be published and read over a period of years, but multi-part plays make most sense when performed in repertory, hugely multiplying budgets and rehearsal time, and requiring theatre-goers to commit three evenings or (on special three-in-one days) an entire Saturday. In their shape, Munro’s The James Plays continue a dramatic tradition stretching back two and a half millennia to Aeschylus , although The Oresteia is the only surviving example of what are thought to have been many works by the Greek playwright in which a character or historical event was dramatised in three separate chapters. In modern times, a key example is Arnold Wesker’s turn-of-the-60s trilogy comprising Roots, Chicken Soup With Barley and I’m Talking About Jerusalem, his escalating examinations of the nature of Judaism finding a sort of Irish equivalent around three decades later in Billy Roche’s haunting The Wexford Trilogy , which presents a triple perspective on a rural community. A small-town American family in the Vietnam era is also progressively explored in The Talley Trilogy by the American writer Lanford Wilson . Wilson, Roche and Wesker all built up their trilogies progressively, with gaps around the earlier parts, as did David Hare, whose examinations of a trinity of British institutions – the church in Racing Demon (1990), the law in Murmuring Judges (1991) and politics in The Absence of War (1993) – were presented as a formal sequence only with the opening of the final play . Contrastingly, as with the Munros, the three parts of Alan Ayckbourn’s The Norman Conquests (1973) were premiered together, as, on a single Saturday in 2002, were Voyage, Shipwreck and Salvage, the constituent parts of Tom Stoppard’s The Coast of Utopia , his biographical triptych about 19th-century Russian revolutionaries and writers. The most notable super-size play of late 20th-century American theatre was an epic two-parter – Tony Kushner’s Angels in America – but the rule of three applied to Neil Simon’s autobiographical string of alphabetically branded plays: Brighton Beach Memoirs (1983), Biloxi Blues (1985) and Broadway Bound (1986). Return readers will know that I maintain a rather lonely campaign for the greatness of a Scottish threesome: the pieces variously known as The Slab Boys or Paisley Patterns trilogies, written in the late 70s, drawing on his experiences while working in a carpet factory, by the writer-artist John Byrne. And space should be found for the only sequential piece of theatre inspired by a cheeky pun: while the Hare trilogy was running at the National, the great theatrical joker Ken Campbell, who had rather fewer than three hairs on his head, declared that his new show for the NT would be called The Bald Trilogy. Pinterest Voyage, the first part of Tom Stoppard’s Coast of Utopia trilogy Photograph: Tristram Kenton/Guardian The purest theatrical three-parters are probably The Norman Conquests and The Oresteia because each in

Down East The origin of the phrase "Down East" is typically traced to nautical terminology referring to direction, rather than location. In the warm months most suitable for sailing, the prevailing winds along the coast of New England and Canada blow from the southwest, meaning ships sail downwind to go east. As such, the northeastern stretches were said to be "Down East" in relation to major western cities such as Boston.[1][2] Correspondingly, sailors spoke of going "up to Boston" from Down East ports, a phrase still common in Maine, despite the fact that Boston is around fifty miles to the south of Maine.[3] The term can be used as an adverb, adjective, or noun. The Oxford English Dictionary traces the earliest known use in print to 1825. The phrase "down-easter", meaning a person from "Down East", appeared in print in 1828.[4]
