A cult film , also commonly referred to as a cult classic , is a film that has acquired a cult following . Cult films are known for their dedicated , passionate fanbase , an elaborate subculture that engage in repeated viewings , quoting dialogue , and audience participation . Inclusive definitions allow for major studio productions , especially box office bombs , while exclusive definitions focus more on obscure , transgressive films shunned by the mainstream . The difficulty in defining the term and subjectivity of what qualifies as a cult film mirror classificatory disputes about art . The term cult film itself was first used in the 1970s to describe the culture that surrounded underground films and midnight movies , though cult was in common use in film analysis for decades prior to that . Cult films trace their origin back to controversial and suppressed films kept alive by dedicated fans . In some cases , reclaimed or rediscovered films have acquired cult followings decades after their original release , occasionally for their camp value . Other cult films have since become well-respected or reassessed as classics ; there is debate as to whether these popular and accepted films are still cult films . After failing in the cinema , some cult films have become regular fixtures on cable television or profitable sellers on home video . Others have inspired their own film festivals . Cult films can both appeal to specific subcultures and form their own subcultures . Other media that reference cult films can easily identify which demographics they desire to attract and offer savvy fans an opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge . Cult films frequently break cultural taboos , and many feature excessive displays of violence , gore , sexuality , profanity , or combinations thereof . This can lead to controversy , censorship , and outright bans ; less transgressive films may attract similar amounts of controversy when critics call them frivolous or incompetent . Films that fail to attract requisite amounts of controversy may face resistance when labeled as cult films . Mainstream films and big budget blockbusters have attracted cult followings similar to more underground and lesser known films ; fans of these films often emphasize the films ' niche appeal and reject the more popular aspects . Fans who like the films for the wrong reasons , such as perceived elements that represent mainstream appeal and marketing , will often be ostracized or ridiculed . Likewise , fans who stray from accepted subcultural scripts may experience similar rejection . Since the late 1970s , cult films have become increasingly popular . Films that once would have been limited to obscure cult followings are now capable of breaking into the mainstream , and showings of cult films have proved to be a profitable business venture . Overbroad usage of the term has resulted in controversy , as purists state it has become a meaningless descriptor applied to any film that is the slightest bit weird or unconventional ; others accuse Hollywood studios of trying to artificially create cult films or use the term as a marketing tactic . Films are frequently stated to be an `` instant cult classic '' now , occasionally before they are released . Fickle fans on the Internet have latched on to unreleased films only to abandon them later on release . At the same time , other films have acquired massive , quick cult followings , thanks to spreading virally through social media . Easy access to cult films via video on demand and peer-to-peer file sharing has led some critics to pronounce the death of cult films .

What is the 'European Union - EU'? Next Upvat_123460818701:48Rewind 10 Seconds Next Up: vat_123460818700:0000:00 Share Video Playlist Settings Fullscreen What is the 'European Union - EU'? The European Union (EU) is a group of 28 countries that operates as a cohesive economic and political block. Nineteen of the countries use the euro as their official currency. The EU grew out of a desire to form a single European political entity to end the centuries of warfare among European countries that culminated with World War II and decimated much of the continent. The European Single Market was established by 12 countries in 1993 to ensure the so-called four freedoms: the movement of goods, services, people and money. Next Up European Monetary System - EMSEuropean Economic and Monetary ... Article 50Single Market BREAKING DOWN 'European Union - EU'The EU began as the European Coal and Steel Community, which was founded in 1950 and had just six members: Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Luxembourg and the Netherlands. It became the European Economic Community (EEC) in 1957 under the Treaty of Rome and, subsequently, became the European Community (EC). The early focus of the Community was a common agricultural policy as well as the elimination of customs barriers. The EC first expanded in 1973 when Denmark, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Greece and Spain became members. A directly elected European Parliament took office in 1979. In 1986, the Single European Act solidified the principles of foreign policy cooperation and extended the powers of the community over the members. The act also formalized the idea of a single European market. The Maastricht Treaty took effect on November 1, 1993, and the EC was replaced by the EU. The Treaty created the euro, which is intended to be the single currency for the EU. It debuted on January 1, 1999. Denmark and the United Kingdom negotiated "opt out" provisions that permitted them to retain their own currencies. Several newer members of the EU have not yet met the criteria for adopting the euro. In 2017, the GDP of the EU totaled $17.1 trillion (nominal), less than that of the United States at $20 trillion. Euro Crisis The EU and the European Central Bank (ECB) have struggled since the global financial market collapse of 2008 with high sovereign debt and collapsing growth in Portugal, Ireland, Greece and Spain. Greece and Ireland received financial bailouts from the community in 2009, which were accompanied by fiscal austerity. Portugal followed in 2011, along with a second Greek bailout. Multiple rounds of interest rate cuts and economic stimulus failed to resolve the problem. Northern countries such as Germany, the United Kingdom and the Netherlands increasingly resent the financial drain from the south. Repeated rumors that Greece would be forced to withdraw from the euro failed to materialize amid disagreement as to whether the move was legally possible as it was not covered in the Maastricht Treaty. UK Referendum As the situation moved to stagnation from a crisis, the government of the United Kingdom announced it would hold a referendum on June 23, 2016 as to whether the country should remain in the EU. The nation voted to leave the EU under Brexit.

The Super Nintendo Entertainment System (officially abbreviated the Super NES[b] or SNES[c], and commonly shortened to Super Nintendo[d]) is a 16-bit home video game console developed by Nintendo that was released in 1990 in Japan and South Korea, 1991 in North America, 1992 in Europe and Australasia (Oceania), and 1993 in South America. In Japan, the system is called the Super Famicom (Japanese: スーパーファミコン, Hepburn: Sūpā Famikon?, officially adopting the abbreviated name of its predecessor, the Family Computer), or SFC for short. In South Korea, it is known as the Super Comboy (슈퍼 컴보이 Syupeo Keomboi) and was distributed by Hyundai Electronics. Although each version is essentially the same, several forms of regional lockout prevent the different versions from being compatible with one another. It was released in Brazil on September 2, 1992, by Playtronic.

How Long Do Things Stay On Your Credit Report? In many ways, a credit report is a lot like a living thing: It grows and strengthens over time, and when something bad happens, it will eventually heal. The duration of that healing process depends on the severity of the damage. We’ll get into the nitty gritty in a minute, but as a starting point, most negative information will remain on your credit reports for seven years with the one major exception being bankruptcies, which can stay on your credit reports for ten years. (You can get a freecredit report snapshot on Credit.com to see which items are dragging down your scores. )Positive information can stay on indefinitely; however, most closed accounts that were paid as agreed “age off” (as it’s known in the industry) of your credit reports after 10 years. As for specific items, like a missed payment or collection account, well, let’s take a deeper dive into how long stuff stays on your credit report. Need Credit Repair Help? Lexington Law can help you remove negative items on your credit reports For a FREE credit consultation Call: 1.844.346.3403or learn more How Long Do Things Stay On Your Credit Report? Here’s the bad news: If you make a mistake or run into financial obstacles that result in negative items on your credit report, those derogatory marks will remain there for years. The good news is they will carry less weight in credit scoring formulas as they get older. Let’s take the dreaded credit score killer bankruptcy as an example. According to a study from FICO, a person with an average credit score of 680 could expect said score to fall around 130 to 150 points once a bankruptcy gets posted to their credit report. As we mentioned earlier, most bankruptcies can remain on credit reports for up to ten years (more on this in a bit). However, so long as that person doesn’t have any new negative information hit their credit file, they can expect to be back to that 680 in roughly five years, FICO says. In other words (and this extends beyond bankruptcy), assuming you start instituting healthy credit habits, like making on-time loan payments and keeping low debt levels, your score won’t bear the brunt of a misstep for the entire time an item is on your credit reports. Pro-tip: Post-bankruptcy, you’ll want to check that all the debts discharged as a result are reported that way on your credit report. And you may want to look into getting a secured credit card as a means to re-establish a good payment history. (Find more ongetting a credit card after bankruptcy . )How Long Does the Good Stuff Stay on My Credit Reports? To reiterate what we said earlier, any positive information on your credit report can remain there indefinitely. An account that was paid as agreed will likely be removed from your credit reports 10 years after the date of last activity. What About the Bad Stuff? That varies. The Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) explains the limits on reporting the different kinds of derogatory marks, though some of these limits vary by state law. Here’s how long incidents of negative credit history generally remain on consumer reports, as mandated by the FCRA. Credit Accounts How Long Do Late Payments Stay On Your Credit Reports? Late payments can be reported for up to 7 years from when the delinquency occurred. Say you missed a credit card payment several years ago, and you still use that credit card. After that late payment is 7 years old, that delinquency legally cannot be included in the history of that account on your credit report. If the account containing late payment information is closed, the entire account will be removed after 7 years. Pro-tip: If you miss a payment on accident, call your issuer to see if it’ll refrain from reporting it to the credit bureaus and/or waive the late fee. Most credit card companies will agree to do so if your payment history was stellar up until the misstep. How Long Do Charge-Offs Stay On Your Credit Reports? An account you did not pay as agreed, like a charged-off credit card or installment loan balance, can remain on your credit report for up to 7 years from the date the debt was charged off. (A charge off is essentially when the creditor officially writes your debt off its books as a loss.) Keep in mind that just because a creditor has written off your unpaid debt as a loss does not mean you do not still owe the debt. Your creditor will likely sell your charged-off debt to a collection agency for pennies on the dollar, which brings us to another negative item on credit reports that we’ll get to shortly. How Long Does a Foreclosure Stay On Your Credit Reports? A foreclosure can remain on your credit reports for 7 years from the date the foreclosure was filed. The same goes for a short sale, which could show up on your credit report as a charge-off, a settlement, a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure or “settled for less than the full amount due.” However it’s reported, a short sale is considered a derogatory event and can remain on your reports for 7 years. How Long Do Inquiries Stay On Your Credit Reports? There are two kinds of inquiries, and only one — hard inquiries — hurts your credit scores. A soft inquiry, like an account review by your current credit card issuer, will show up on your credit reports but is not factored into your credit scores. Other examples of soft inquiries include you requesting your own credit reports or credit scores, promotional inquiries from companies that may want to send you a credit offer and an inquiry from an insurance company (provided it’s legal in your state for credit scores to be used in determining insurance rates. )Hard inquiries occur when you apply for credit, like a new credit card, and your potential lender is evaluating your application. A hard inquiry will slightly ding your credit score. But it won’t last too long. Inquiries only remain on your credit report for 2 years, and hard inquiries only affect your credit score for 12 months. Pro-tip: Most credit scoring models will group inquiries for the same type of loan (like a mortgage) for around 45 days to allow borrowers to comparison-shop among lenders. Collection Accounts How Long Do Collections Accounts Stay on Your Credit Reports? A collection account can remain on your credit report for 7 years plus 180 days from the date of the delinquency that immediately preceded collection activity. Let’s say you were really inconsistent with your cable bill — you missed it in January but caught up in February, only to miss it again in March and April. At that point, your cable company sends the bill to a debt collector. That collection account can remain on your credit report for 7 years plus 180 days from the date your bill was due in March. Here’s the part a lot of people don’t like: Whether or not you paid the collection account, it can still stay on your report for that 7-year (plus 180 days) period. Some credit scoring models do not factor in collection accounts once they’re paid, but many do. Also of note, paid collections generally weigh your score down less than unpaid collections. Pro-tip: Sometimes collection agencies are willing to remove accounts that have been paid but you do have to negotiate this. This is called pay for delete, or payment for deletion. If you do manage to negotiate this with the collection agency, make sure you get something in writing stating that the account will be removed so that you can use it as proof when disputing the account with the credit bureaus. Public Records How Long Does Bankruptcy Stay On Your Credit Reports? Bankruptcies show up in the public records section of credit reports. All bankruptcies may be reported for 10 years from the filing date, though discharged Chapter 13 bankruptcies are generally removed after 7 years. How Long Does Eviction Stay On Your Credit Reports? An eviction itself does not appear on a credit report, but trade lines related to it can. If the landlord sent your unpaid rent to a debt collector, it would appear under collection accounts, and if they sued you over the unpaid rent, it could appear as a judgment. We’ve already covered how long collection accounts stay on your credit report and we’ll get to judgments in a minute. How Long Does a Tax Lien Stay On Your Credit Reports? If you fail to pay your taxes, the government could file a tax lien, which shows current and future creditors that the government has a right to your property until you have paid or otherwise gotten rid of the lien. A paid tax lien can remain on your credit reports for up to 7 years from the date the government filed it, but you can speed up that timeline if you qualify for a lien withdrawal or the IRS Fresh Start program (you canlearn how to apply on the IRS website ). An unpaid tax lien can remain on your credit reports indefinitely. How Long Do Judgments Stay On Your Credit Reports? How long a judgment remains on your credit report heavily relies on the state in which you reside. In most cases, a paid judgment will continue to show up on your credit report for 7 years from the date filed. That’s technically also true for unpaid judgments, but an unpaid judgment can be renewed, which would indefinitely extend its life on your credit reports. If thestatute of limitationson judgments is longer than 7 years in your state, then that time frame is how long the judgment can remain on your credit report. There are some exceptions to the rules above: New York Residents A paid judgment can remain on your credit report for no longer than 5 years. A paid collection account can remain on your credit report no longer than 5 years from the date of last activity. California Residents A paid or released tax lien (the IRS releases the lien 30 days after the debt has been satisfied) can remain on your credit reports for 7 years from the release date or 10 years from the date filed. An unpaid or unreleased tax lien can remain on your credit reports for 10 years from the date filed. Pro-tip: If you discover a creditor/collector is suing you for a debt, it’s best not to ignore the summons. Failure to show up in court can result in a summary judgment against you, which can lead to garnishment. Don’t Want to Wait? What You Can Do Now All of these timelines assume the information on your credit report is fair and accurate. If you think a collection account is listed more than once or the date is wrong, for example, you may have grounds to dispute the item and get it removed from your credit report, which canimprove your credit score quickly. You can do this yourself through all three of the major credit reporting agencies and, under federal law, the credit bureau has to respond to your dispute within 30 days, generally. If you have multiple items you want to dispute, or just don’t want to do the work, you can also hire a reputable credit repair company to help.

Joe Finnis and Dominic Fell were killed in the tragedy, pals revealed online, while a third unnamed colleague also died from her injuries. The airline has paid tribute to the trio. The tragedy happened when a Mercedes HGV smashed into their Toyota Yaris car shortly before midnight on New Year's Eve. A 25-year-old woman, who was also travelling in the Yaris, remains in a serious condition in hospital. A fundraising appeal called the "BA Angels Fund" to support the families of the victims raised more than £36,000 in just six hours. Friend Bailey Faulkner, who knew the two male victims, wrote on Facebook : "It’s a sad time when you get a message being told that two close mates from the skies have both passed away minutes before 2020! "Joe Finnis and (Dominic Fell) I couldn’t thank you both for the endless trips together all across the world which each time was full of boozing and laughters, not forgetting the days spent sat in the pub! "Gutted you’ve gone but you’ll never be forgotten! Keep flying high." Claire Emery wrote on the fundraising page: "Joe was my apprenticeship coach when I started BA in June. Joe was extremely kind, supportive and empathetic. My deepest condolences to Joe's family." This was echoed by Malgorzata Kubik, who wrote: "Joe was my coach and he always made sure we were ok. "I hope he is in a better place now and I would like to send big hugs to his friends and family I am with you in this painful and difficult time especially of that time a year." Another pal, Daniel Seymour, wrote: "Joe has been my good friend for a while. I even was in the gym with him on the day he passed. I'm so sad and wish him to have the best send off possible. As well as the others involved in the accident. They will all be missed." Laura Stewart wrote: "Dom and Joe were truly special men and I hope that their families take some comfort in knowing that they were so loved by everyone they have flown with! I’ll miss you." Hannah Morris posted: "A truly heartbreaking loss to our flying family, an absolute pleasure to have flown with and will be deeply missed by all." British Airways cabin crew worker Amber Keeling posted: "Love you Dom Rest in peace to you all xxxxx" And Michelle Leshone wrote: "My heart aches for the young lives lost , and also that of their friends and families , fly high Dom we will love you forever." Paying tribute to the female crash victim, Emily Diss wrote: "Such a beautiful girl inside and out heartbroken to hear this sad news xxx" Friend Emily Fabiani wrote on Facebook: "So so so sad. Rest in perfect peace Rachel. Such a lovely soul taken way too soon." (Image: UKNIP) The crash happened at 11.39pm in Stanwell, Surrey, and police said the white Mercedes HGV left the road and ended up in Longford River. The driver of the lorry was taken to hospital as a precaution. The victims' next of kin have been informed and no arrests have been made. British Airways said in a statement: "We’re deeply saddened to learn of the death of our colleagues involved in a road traffic collision last night. "Our thoughts are with their family and friends, who we are supporting at this distressing time."
Mayhew London Labour, vol I. Mayhew London Labour, vol I. Mayhew London Labour, vol I. OF THE STREET-SELLERS OF FISH. OF THE KIND AND QUANTITIES OF FISH SOLD BY THE LONDON COSTERMONGERS. Having now given the reader a general view of the numbers, characters, habits, tastes, amuse- ments, language, opinions, earnings, and vicissi- tudes of the London costermongers,-having de- scribed their usual style of dress, diet, homes, conveyances, and street-markets,-having ex- plained where their donkeys are bought, or the terms on which they borrow them, their barrows, their stock-money, and occasionally their stock itself,-having shown their ordinary mode of dealing, either in person or by deputy, Begin Page 062 either at half-profits or by means of boys,- where they go and how they manage on their rounds in town and in the country,-what are the laws affecting them, as well as the operation of those laws upon the rest of the community,- having done all this by way of giving the reader a general knowledge of the street-sellers of fish, fruit, and vegetables,-I now proceed to treat more particularly of each of these classes seriatim. Beginning with the street-fishmongers, I shall describe, in due order, the season when, the market where, and the classes of people by whom, the wet-fish, the dry-fish, and the shell- fish are severally sold and purchased in the London streets, together with all other con- comitant circumstances. The facilities of railway conveyance, by means of which fish can be sent from the coast to the capital with much greater rapidity, and therefore be received much fresher than was formerly the case, have brought large supplies to London from places that before contributed no quantity to the market, and so induced, as I heard in all quarters at Billingsgate, an extra- ordinary lowness of price in this species of diet. This cheap food, through the agency of the costermongers, is conveyed to every poor man's door, both in the thickly-crowded streets where the poor reside-a family at least in a room -in the vicinity of Drury-lane and of White- chapel, in Westminster, Bethnal-green, and St. Giles's, and through the long miles of the suburbs. For all low-priced fish the poor are the costermongers' best customers, and a fish diet seems becoming almost as common among the ill-paid classes of London, as is a potato diet among the peasants of Ireland. Indeed, now, the fish season of the poor never, or rarely, knows an interruption. If fresh herrings are not in the market, there are sprats; and if not sprats, there are soles, or whitings, or mackarel, or plaice. The rooms of the very neediest of our needy metropolitan population, always smell of fish; most frequently of herrings. So much so, indeed, that to those who, like myself, have been in the habit of visiting their dwellings, the smell of herrings, even in comfortable homes, savours from association, so strongly of squalor and wretchedness, as to be often most oppres- sive. The volatile oil of the fish seems to hang about the walls and beams of the rooms for ever. Those who have experienced the smell of fish only in a well-ordered kitchen, can form no adequate notion of this stench, in perhaps a dilapidated and ill-drained house, and in a rarely-cleaned room; and I have many a time he
By the start of the 20th century, Germany and the United States challenged Britain's economic lead. Subsequent military and economic tensions between Britain and Germany were major causes of the First World War, during which Britain relied heavily upon its empire. The conflict placed enormous strain on the military, financial and manpower resources of Britain. Although the British Empire achieved its largest territorial extent immediately after World War I, Britain was no longer the world's pre-eminent industrial or military power. In the Second World War, Britain's colonies in South-East Asia were occupied by Imperial Japan. Despite the final victory of Britain and its allies, the damage to British prestige helped to accelerate the decline of the empire. India, Britain's most valuable and populous possession, achieved independence as part of a larger decolonisation movement in which Britain granted independence to most territories of the Empire. The transfer of Hong Kong to China in 1997 marked for many the end of the British Empire. Fourteen overseas territories remain under British sovereignty. After independence, many former British colonies joined the Commonwealth of Nations, a free association of independent states. The United Kingdom is now one of 16 Commonwealth nations, a grouping known informally as the Commonwealth realms, that share one monarch—Queen Elizabeth II.

The bulk of Masonic ritual consists of degree ceremonies. Candidates for Freemasonry are progressively initiated into Freemasonry, first in the degree of Entered Apprentice. Some time later, in a separate ceremony, they will be passed to the degree of Fellowcraft, and finally they will be raised to the degree of Master Mason. In all of these ceremonies, the candidate is entrusted with passwords, signs and grips peculiar to his new rank. Another ceremony is the annual installation of the Master and officers of the Lodge. In some jurisdictions Installed Master is valued as a separate rank, with its own secrets to distinguish its members. In other jurisdictions, the grade is not recognised, and no inner ceremony conveys new secrets during the installation of a new Master of the Lodge.
MainCast RETURN John Le Mesurier (1912 - 1983) - Sergeant Wilson It seems you cannot watch any Ealing Comedy of the (late) 50s and 60s without seeing the dour face of John Le Mesurier. In fact between the years 1952 and 1977 he managed to play in at least one film for every year, 1962 being the most prolific year with no less than 5 to his credit! Bury St Edmunds was home to the young Le Mesurier, where he developed a love of the countryside, horses, pubs, village cricket and village characters. His father was a successful lawyer in the town. John was fascinated by the theatre, but it was not until he was 21, with his parents full blessing that he decided to become an actor, knowing full well what hard and uncertain work it was. After attending the Fay Compton School of Dramatic Art, John's first engagement in repertory was at the Palladium Theatre, Edinburgh, which started his personal 'tour of duties' until war came along in 1939. At the start of the war John became an Air Raid Warden in Chelsea before being called up to the Army. As a commissioned officer he spent much of this time in India. It was after the war that John set his sights on the film industry, appearing in his first film 'Escape from Broadmoor' in 1948, it was the start of a successful career in this medium. John was surprised when he read the pilot episode of 'Dad's Army' that he was not cast as the officer, as he usually was. It came to pass that he was originally thought of to play the captain, and Arthur Lowe the sergeant, but an inspired change of roles gave the programme some of its funniest elements, as the gallant Captain played the game of oneupmanship with his socially superior sergeant. His character was not unlike his real self, and the writers began to write around the actor after a time anyway. During one of the intervals between series, John took up the role of Kim Philby the defector, in the television play 'Traitor'. It was a very demanding part, definitely not a comedy. It was this role which led to John being awarded a BAFTA for best actor in 1971. John very nearly missed the last series due to illness, but he was determined to be there. You will notice that his appearance during this last series was more drawn than ever. He enjoyed making the series even though it was a bit of a strain. Before his death he managed to tour South Africa, Singapore, Hong Kong and Kuala Lumpur in various plays, as well as continuing in the West End. He had managed a credible fifty years as an actor. RETURN Clive Dunn (1920 - 2012) - Lance Corporal Jones Clive started his acting career by appearing as an extra in a Will Hay film 'Boys Will Be Boys', and after attending stage school, tried his luck firstly in seasonal theatre work, then commercial repertory, stage managing and playing small parts. This career was interrupted by the Second World War, which proved to be a traumatic time for him, as he was taken prisoner by the Germans whilst in Greece. After, he continued where he had left off, and began to specialise in character acting, particularly old men. a talent which would lend itself to the small screen which had begun to take off a few years after. Clive also had a hit single with the song 'Grandad', and on the strength of this recorded a whole album of songs. Clive was the only member of the Dad's Army cast that was required to look older, however this came in useful when he was required to perform one stunt or another! After Dad's Army had finished, Clive decided to move to Portugal and open a restaurant, where he remains to this day. Occasionally he returned to our screens as a cameo L/Cpl Jones, only with less make-up! Clive passed away on 6 November 2012 in Portugal (where he lived for many years) following a minor operation. RETURN John Laurie (1897 - 1980) - Private Frazer John was not destined for a career in the theatre. He started his career in architecture, until World War One took him away. He never expected to come out of it alive, and it was only when he had been invalided out that he became a sergeant-of-arms at the Tower of London.
In April 2005, Comcast and Time Warner Cable announced plans to buy the assets of bankrupted Adelphia Cable. The two companies paid a total of $17.6 billion in the deal that was finalized in the second quarter of 2006—after the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) completed a seven-month investigation without raising an objection. Time Warner Cable became the second largest cable provider in the U.S., ranking behind Comcast. As part of the deal, Time Warner and Comcast traded existing subscribers in order to consolidate them into larger geographic clusters.

Who's Your Favourite Macbeth? Who's Your Favourite Macbeth? Updated: 19 October 2016 Justin Kurzel’s 2015 Macbeth film stars Michael Fassbender in the lead role of the Scottish general consumed by ambition and egged on to kill the king by his ruthless wife (Marion Cotillard). Which Thane of Cawdor gets your vote? Ian McKellen \| © BBC Ian McKellen The Royal Shakespeare Company’s 1976 production of Macbeth directed by Trevor Nunn went down in theatre history as a startling pieces of theatre. This was down to the acting of McKellen, who gave an outstanding performance of the murderously ambitious Macbeth, and Judi Dench, who played a blood-chilling Lady Macbeth. McKellen’s highly praised rendition of Macbeth put emphasis on the protagonist’s madness as he foamed at the mouth and talked to invisible ghosts. Kenneth Branagh \| © NTL Kenneth Branagh The 2013 stage production of the Scottish Play directed by Rob Ashford for the Manchester International Festival and screened live by the National Theatre saw Branagh give an electrifying performance as the thane, alongside Alex Kingston as Lady Macbeth. In his first Shakespeare performance in over a decade, the BAFTA-award-winning actor gave a convincing rendition of the treachery and ambition at the heart of Shakespeare’s play, enacted within the walls of a Manchester church. James McAvoy \| © Trafalgar Studios James McAvoy There’s no doubt the Scot McAvoy was born to play Macbeth; in fact, he’s played him twice. His first on-screen incarnation – in the BBC’s 2005 update – was as an over-ambitious sous-chef in a three Michelin star restaurant. In 2013, he appeared in the highly praised Trafalgar Studios production, which evoked a post-apocalyptic Scotland facing an environmental catastrophe. Orson Welles © Movie Poster Database Orson Welles Welles wrote the screenplay, directed, and played the title role in his 1948 Macbeth. Though hampered by budget restraints and a three-week shooting schedule, he re-created a nightmarish world in which Macbeth is the victim of his raw and primitive emotions. Patrick Stewart \| © RSC Patrick Stewart The 2010 BBC production, which starred Patrick Stewart, evokes the atmosphere of the Soviet Union under Stalin. Stewart is terrifying as he bestrides this claustrophobic, paranoid world. Alan Cumming When Scottish-American actor Alan Cumming appeared in a daring one-man adaptation of Macbeth, he attacked the part with mesmerising gusto. Set inside a sinister psychiatric unit, it had Cumming relive the story by playing each of the roles himself as he’s watched by surveillance cameras. After its run at Lincoln Center, the production went on to a 73-show Broadway stint at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre in 2013. Toshiro Washizu Though war-torn Japan isn’t a conventional backdrop for Macbeth, Akira Kurosawa’s 1957 Throne of Blood is regarded by many critics as one of the finest film adaptations of the play. Transposing the traditional Scottish setting to a fog-cloaked landscape in feudal Japan, Kurosawa cast Toshiro Washizu as a hardened warrior who rises to power with savage vigour. Jon Finch \| © Columbia Pictures Jon Finch Former SAS man-turned-actor Finch gave one of his finest performances as Macbeth in Roman Polanski’s 1971 film. While the violence and nudity of Polanski’s version may have startled the audiences at the time, its unsettling tone and Finch’s performance were undeniably compelling. Francesca Annis played Lady Macbeth. Peter O’Toole The 1980 production of Macbeth at the Old Vic in London that starred O’Toole earned him widespread reproach for his decision to play the title role with too much humor and flamboyance. Critics dubbed his performance “Macdeath” and “Macflop”.
The official position of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China is that the Ming implemented a policy of managing Tibet according to conventions and customs, granting titles and setting up administrative organs over Tibet. The State Council Information Office of the People's Republic states that the Ming dynasty's Ü-Tsang Commanding Office governed most areas of Tibet. It also states that while the Ming abolished the policy council set up by the Mongol Yuan to manage local affairs in Tibet and the Mongol system of Imperial Tutors to govern religious affairs, the Ming adopted a policy of bestowing titles upon religious leaders who had submitted to the Ming dynasty. For example, an edict of the Hongwu Emperor in 1373 appointed the Tibetan leader Choskunskyabs as the General of the Ngari Military and Civil Wanhu Office, stating:

If you have mustard algae in your pool, use a product such as Yellow Out in addition to chlorine to help kill the bloom. Yellow Out requires 2lbs. per 15,000 gallons of pool water. For green algae, a product like Green to Clean may be helpful to add in addition to the chlorine. When adding these chemicals, make sure to wait five minutes between adding the chlorine and either Yellow Out or Green to Clean.
World Flags World Flags This page lists of the various symbols in the World Flags group. Flags from countries around the world, including their origins, design and history. Edit this group The Flag of Albania (Albanian: Flamuri i Shqipërisë) is a red flag, with a silhouetted black double-headed eagle in the centre, that represents the sovereign state of Albania located in the Balkans. Adopted april 7, 1992 Flag of Algeria The national flag of Algeria (Arabic: علم الجزائر, Berber: Acenyal n Dzayer) consists of two equal vertical bars, green and white, charged in the center with a red star and crescent. The white color represents peace; the green, the beauty of nature; the red, the blood of those killed fighting for independence in the Algerian War (1954 to 1962) and the star and crescent represent Islam. Flag of Andorra The national flag of the Principality of Andorra (Catalan: Bandera d'Andorra) was adopted in 1866. The flag is a vertical tricolour of blue, yellow, and red with the coat of arms of Andorra in the centre. Although the three vertical bars may at first appear to be of equal width, the centre yellow bar is slightly wider than the other two so that the ratio of bar widths is 8:9:8. The overall flag ratio is 7:10. Flag of Bangladesh The national flag of Bangladesh was adopted officially on 17 January 1972. It is based on a similar flag used during the Bangladesh Liberation War of 1971. The map was later deleted from the flag, most likely to simplify the design.[citation needed] A red disc is on top of the green field, offset slightly toward the hoist so that it appears centred when the flag is flying. The red disc represents the sun rising over Bengal, and also the blood of those who died for the independence of Bangladesh. The green field stands for the lushness of the land of Bangladesh. Flag of Barbados The national flag of Barbados was officially adopted on 30 November 1966, the island's first Independence Day. It consists of a triband of two bands of ultramarine, which are said to stand for the ocean; separated by a golden middle band, representing the sand on the island. A black trident-head (commonly called the "broken trident"), is centred within the golden band. Flag of Belarus The current national flag of Belarus (Belarusian: Сцяг Беларусі, Stsyah Byelarusi; Russian: Флаг Беларуси, Flag Belarusi) is a red and green flag with a white and red ornament pattern placed at the staff (hoist) end. The current design was introduced in 2012 by the State Committee for Standardization of the Republic of Belarus, and is adapted from a design approved in a referendum in May 1995. The current flag is a modification of the 1951 flag used while the country was a republic of the Soviet Union. The changes from the Byelorussian SSR was to not only remove symbols of communism (the hammer and sickle and also the red star) but it reversed the colors of the ornament pattern from white on red with red on white. Since the 1995 referendum, several flags used by government officials and agencies were modeled from the national flag. Flag of Cameroon The national flag of Cameroon was adopted in its present form on 20 May 1975 after Cameroon became a unitary state. It is a vertical tricolor of green, red and yellow, defaced with a five-pointed star in its center. There is a wide variation in the size of the central star, although it is always contained within the inside stripe. Flag of Canada The National Flag of Canada, also known as the Maple Leaf and l'Unifolié (French for "the one-leafed"), is a flag consisting of a red field with a white square at its centre, in the middle of which is featured a stylized, 11-pointed, red maple leaf. Flag of Chile The national flag of Chile, consists of two unequal horizontal bands of white and red and a blue square the same height as the white band in the canton, which bears a white five-pointed star in the center. It was adopted on 18 October 1817. The Chilean flag is also known in Spanish as La Estrella Solitaria (The Lone Star). Flag of China The flag of the People's Republic of China is a
Most countries will not let you give up your citizenship if you aren't a citizen of any other country. That said, some people do end up stateless. Being stateless does not give you any special ability to cross borders without a visa or ID. Quite the opposite, it would make crossing national borders very difficult. No one would want to take you. You're right, states are social constructs. Ultimately you have to live under them because people working for the state will make you follow their rules by force.

Administrative Agency Administrative Agency Also found in: Dictionary, Thesaurus, Financial . Administrative Agency An official governmental body empowered with the authority to direct and supervise theimplementation of particular legislative acts. In addition to agency, such governmental bodies may be called commissions, corporations (e.g., Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ), boards,departments, or divisions. Administrative agencies are created by the federal Constitution, the U. S. Congress, statelegislatures, and local lawmaking bodies to manage crises, redress serious social problems, or oversee complex matters of governmental concern beyond the expertise of legislators. Although Article I, Section 1, of the federal Constitution plainly states that " [a]ll legislative Powers hereingranted shall be vested in a Congress of the United States," the "necessary-and-proper" clause, in the eighth section of the same article, states that Congress shall have power " [t]o make all Lawswhich shall be necessary and proper for carrying into Execution the foregoing Powers, and all other Powers … in any Department or Officer thereof." With this language, many have argued that the Framers of the Constitution expected, indeed encouraged, the creation of powerful administrativeagencies. This argument prevailed, and courts therefore have allowed the U. S. Congress—and otherlegislative bodies—to make laws that delegate limited lawmaking authority to administrativeagencies. The substance of an administrative agency's powers must be intelligible, and a system of controls must be in place to limit those powers, but courts almost always find that administrativeagencies meet these requirements. Administrative agency rules and regulations often have the force of law against individuals. Thistendency has led many critics to charge that the creation of agencies circumvents the constitutionaldirective that laws are to be created by elected officials. According to these critics, administrativeagencies constitute an unconstitutional, bureaucratic fourth branch of government with powers thatexceed those of the three recognized branches (the legislative, executive, and judiciary). In response, supporters of administrative agencies note that agencies are created and overseen by elected officials or the president. Agencies are created by an enabling statute, which is a state or federal law that gives birth to the agency and outlines the procedures for the agency's rule making. Furthermore, agencies include the public in their rule-making processes. Thus, by proxy, agenciesare the will of the electorate. Supporters of administrative agencies note also that agencies are able to adjudicate relatively minor or exceedingly complex disputes more quickly or more flexibly than can state and federal courts,which helps preserve judicial resources and promotes swift resolutions. Opponents argue thatswiftness and ease at the expense of fairness are no virtues, but while the debate continues,administrative agencies thrive. Governmental representation in an administrative capacity of any kind can be consideredadministrative agency. The president is an administrative agent whose enabling statute is the federal Constitution. The thirteen executive departments reporting to the president are administrativeagencies. For example, the department of justice is a cabinet-level executive department, but it functions as the administrative agency that addresses the legal concerns of the U. S. governmentand its people. The departments housed within the Department of Justice, such as the Drug Enforcement Administration and the Federal Bureau of Investigation, are also administrativeagencies, and they have procedures and rules of their own. An administrative agency that falls under the direction of the Executive Branch is referred to as an executive agency. However, an enabling statute may establish an independent agency,commission, or board, which does not fall under the direction of the president. The primarydistinction between an executive agency and an independent agency is that the statute creating an independent agency typically precludes the president from removing the head of the agency withoutcause. By contrast, a head of an executive agency generally serves at the pleasure of the president. The U. S. Supreme Court on several occasions has considered whether independent agencies areconstitutional. In Humphrey's Executor v. United States, 295 U. S. 602, 55 S. Ct. 869, 79 L. Ed.1611 (1935), the Court held the President franklin d. roosevelt could not remove the commissioner of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) without cause. The statute that created the commissionpermitted removal of the commissioner only for inefficiency, neglect of duty, or malfeasance of office. Roosevelt purported to remove FTC Commissioner William E. Humphrey, who had beennominated by President herbert c. hoover to a seven-year term in 1931, in order to replace Humphrey with an individual of Roosevelt's own selection. The Court held that because Humphreywas not an executive officer, the president could not remove him from office except for the causesset forth in the statute. Many of the administrative agencies that affect everyday activities are independent agencies. Among the numerous examples of independent agencies are the Central Intelligence Agency, Environmental Protection Agency, the national labor relations board, and the Securities and Exchange Commission. Because the president is generally able to appoint the chairs or fillvacancies within these agencies, the president is often able to influence their activities,notwithstanding the limitation on the removal of the heads of the agencies. Administrative agenciesare made up of experts in the field in which the agency operates. For example, the Maritime Administration employs experts in the areas of sea commerce and navigation to set its rules on merchant marine activities. Many agencies have the power to assess fines or otherwise deprivepersons of liberty in hearings conducted by their own judicial bodies, or administrative boards. Giventhe specialized knowledge within administrative agencies, administrative law judges (ALJs), whohear agency claims and disputes, are loath to overturn the legal conclusions reached by administrative boards. Determinations and sanctions made by ALJs are subject to review by state or federal courts, but a party must exhaust all appeals within the agency before suing in civil court. An agency's actions must be in accordance with its enabling statute, and courts will examine theagency records to determine whether the agency exceeded its lawmaking or judicial powers. Rigorous judicial oversight of agencies would defeat a cherished feature of administrative agency by eliminating agency flexibility in resolving conflicts. To avoid this outcome, most enabling statutesare worded vaguely, in such a way as to allow the agencies broad discretion in determining theirrules and procedures. To keep agencies from wielding unbridled power, the Administrative Procedure Act of 1946 (APA) (5 U. S. C. A. § 551 [1982]) sets standards for the activities and rulemaking of all federal regulatory agencies. The APA provides federal courts with a framework forreviewing the rules made and procedures used by administrative agencies. Individual states havesimilar statutes to guide their own courts. History of Administrative Agency The first administrative agency was created by Congress in 1789 to provide pensions for wounded Revolutionary War soldiers. Also in the late 1700s, agencies were created to determine the amount of duties charged on imported goods, but it was not until 1887 that the first permanent administrativeagency was created. The Interstate Commerce Commission (ICC), created by the Interstate Commerce Act (49 U. S. C. A. § 10101 et seq. [1995]), was enacted by Congress to regulatecommerce among the states, especially the interstate transportation of persons or property by carriers. The ICC was designed to ensure that carriers involved in interstate commerce provided thepublic with fair and reasonable rates and services. To buttress the Interstate Commerce Act, the Federal Reserve System was established by the Federal Reserve Act of 1913 (12 U. S. C. A. § 221) to serve as the United States' central bank and execute U. S. monetary policy. One year later, the Federal Trade Commission was established by Congress to promote free and fair competition in interstate commerce by preventing unfair methods of competition. In 1908, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) was established to investigate violations of federallaws not assigned to other federal agencies. The FBI is charged with solving crimes such as Kidnapping, Espionage, sabotage, bank Robbery, Extortion, interstate transportation of stolenproperty, Civil Rights violations, interstate gambling violations, Fraud against the government, andthe assault or killing of a federal officer or the president. As an agency concerned with criminalapprehension, the FBI is considered an arm of the government, and its directorship is subject to presidential approval. However, the FBI carries out its investigations independent of politicalinfluence. It can, for example, probe the actions of presidents and legislators, the very personsresponsible for its existence. Administrative agencies are usually created in response to a felt public need. Some older agencies,for example, were created after the Civil War to address economic matters critical to the United States' expanding government. After the Stock Market crash of October 1929, and during the Great Depression of the 1930s, Congress created numerous agencies in an effort to regulate theproduction and marketing of goods. Agencies such as the social security administration (created by the social security act of 1935 [42 U. S. C. A. § 301 et seq. ]), the Federal Savings and Loan Insurance Corporation (established by a 1933 amendment to the Federal Reserve Act, 12 U. S. C. A. § 264, and now codified at 12 U. S. C. A. §§ 1811–1831) helped provide financial security for many Americans. The national industrial recovery act (NIRA) (15 15 U. S. C. A. §§ 701 et seq.,40U. S. C. A. § 401 et seq.) created the National Recovery Administration to ensure fair marketcompetition. However, the NIRA gave the president limitless authority to impose sanctions, and it was declared invalid by the Supreme Court in the "Sick Chicken" case, Schechter Poultry Corp. v. United States, 295 U. S. 495, 55 S. Ct. 837, 79 L. Ed. 1570 (1935). The National Labor Relations Board (created by the National Labor Relations Act of 1935 [29U. S. C. A. § 151 et seq. ], lateramended by acts of 1947 and 1959) also helped to ease the devastating effects of the depression, by protecting employees' rights to organize, preventing unfair labor practices, and promoting Collective Bargaining between employers and labor unions. Congress installed the Federal Radio Commission (FRC) in 1927 after entrepreneurs discovered thecommercial potential of radio airwaves. In 1934, the FRC was merged into the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), which was created by the Communications Act of 1934 (47U. S. C. A. § 151 et seq.) to tackle the myriad issues presented by the sudden widespread use of radio waves. In the wake of television's popularity, the Communications Satellite Act of 1962 (47U. S. C. A. §§ 701–744) was enacted by Congress to broaden the FCC's powers to include regulation of television broadcasting; telephone, telegraph, and Cable Television operation; two-way radioand radio operation; and satellite communication. When the United States entered World War II, more agencies were created or enlarged to mobilize human resources and production and to administer price controls and rationing. The social upheaval of the 1960s spawned agenciesdesigned to improve urban areas, provide opportunities for people who were historicallydisadvantaged and marginalized, and promote artistic endeavors. In the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s,pressing issues such as human and environmental health were addressed through the creation of agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency and a new, enlarged department of energy. Federal Administrative Agencies On the federal level, business and individual matters are addressed by such agencies as the Farm Credit Administration, Small Business Administration, Commodity Futures Trading Commission, Federal Trade Commission, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, Office of Thrift Supervision, Internal Revenue Service, department of commerce, Interstate Commerce Commission, and Securities and Exchange Commission. Governmental money matters are overseen and assisted by the General Accounting Office, Office of Management and Budget, Office of the Comptroller of the Currency, Treasury Department, General Services Administration, Congressional Budget Office, and Federal Reserve Board. Public services are handled by administrative agencies that include the department of education, department of transportation, Environmental Protection Agency, Food and Drug Administration, department of health and human services, department of housing and urban development, Department of Interior, Immigration and Naturalization Service, and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration. Work-related administrative agencies include the Tennessee Valley Authority, Office of Technology Assessment, Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Occupational Safety and Health Review Commission, National Labor Relations Board, Mine Safety and Health Administration, Mine Safety and Health Review Commission, Merit Systems Protection Board, department of labor, Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, and Office of Personnel Management. Police and military functions are served by the Central Intelligence Agency, department of defense, Department of Justice, department of veterans affairs, Federal Bureau of Investigation, and National Security Council. The administrative agency that directly affects the most U. S. citizens is the Social Security Administration (SSA). The SSA collects contributions from workers and pays out cash benefitswhen a worker retires, dies, or becomes disabled. As the needs of the nation change, Congress continues to establish new agencies and abolishexisting agencies. The Interstate Commerce Commission, for instance, was established in 1887 to regulate carriers engaged in the transportation of interstate and foreign commerce in the United States. Over time, many of the commission's functions were transferred to other agencies or otherwise abandoned, and Congress abolished the commission in 1995. A more recent example of the development of an administrative agency is the creation of the Homeland Security Department in 2002 to prevent terrorist attacks in the United States and to reduce the country'svulnerability to Terrorism in the aftermath of the September 11th Attacks. State and Local Administrative Agencies State and local administrative agencies often mirror federal agencies. Thus, the individual stateshave agencies that control transportation, public health, public assistance, education, naturalresources, labor, law enforcement, agriculture, commerce, and revenue. Any regulation established by such an agency that conflicts with a federal regulation will not be legally valid, but this fact doesnot keep state agencies from developing regulations that differ from those promulgated by theirfederal counterparts. In the spirit of administrative agency, state and local governments also createagencies that help address compelling, peculiarly local concerns. Just like federal agencies, state and local administrative agencies are often empowered to holdhearings. These hearings are conducted by their administrative boards, which are obligated to represent the public interest. By contrast, courts must remain impartial to the two parties beforethem. A Parole board, for example, holds informal hearings during which prisoners are allowed to offer evidence of their suitability for early release from incarceration. The strict rules observed in a courtroom do not apply to these hearings, and the board's decisions must account for the publicinterest as well as the rights of the prisoners.

Christopher Bryan Moneymaker (born November 21, 1975, in Atlanta, Georgia) is an American poker player who won the Main Event at the 2003 World Series of Poker (WSOP). His 2003 win is said to have revolutionized poker because he was the first person to become a world champion after qualifying at an online poker site. This has been referred to in the press as the "Moneymaker Effect".
However questions still remain, as some of the corrupt government officials have still not been brought to justice, while the many families who lost their only child, are still seeking compensation and justice to what had happened. According to the Times, many parents were warned by the government not to stage a protest under the threat of arrest.
For those who really want to go all out with the purple in their living room, using various shades of the color is the easiest means of matching. From light to dark, warm to cool, a mix of purples coupled with neutral colors for some balance, like white, beige, black, and gray, lets the purple stand out on its own.

However, performance enhancements cannot be generalized as the benefits and limitations of the system are dependent on many factors. One problem is that the system is subject to gaming. Sometimes, one person enters the destination for a large group of people going to the same floor. The dispatching algorithm is usually unable to completely cater for the variation, and latecomers may find the elevator they are assigned to is already full. Also, occasionally, one person may press the floor multiple times. This is common with up/down buttons when people believe this to be an effective way to hurry elevators. However, this will make the computer think multiple people are waiting and will allocate empty cars to serve this one person.

Total Length: 32:32 By Frederick Harrison on 20 Jun. 2011 Format: Audio CD Having established the Wombles as a chart act with their charming and catchy first single, the "Wombling Song" Mike Batt knew that the follow up would be crucial, as would every subsequent single. Rather than return to the gentle chamber pop of the first album, Mike kicked the music up several notches and cast the net wide as regarded musical styles, refusing to play it safe and stick to a set and predictable formula. Thus the three singles taken from this album ("Remember You're A Womble", "Banana Rock", "Minuetto Allegretto") all differed from each other as regards musical style yet were easily identifiable as the Wombles - especially through the lyrics. The remaining tracks that made up the album were no less ambitious - one of which was "Wombling Summer Party", a spot-on Beach Boys pastiche that was edited for a single release and gave the Wombles their sole Hot 100 hit in the US and Canada. By the end of 1974 the Wombles had become the top selling singles act in the UK according to Music Week - and deservedly so. Think of this album as the Fab Fur's equivalent of the Beatle's Revolver or Rubber Soul and you're on the right track. Other influences include the Kinks, Small Faces, Hollies, and Herman's Hermits - and Freddie & the Dreamers for their Top of the Pops appearances. After having Bernard Cribbins introduce Orinoco live on the Cilla Black show to plug the "Wombling Song", Batt received a request from Top of the Pops for an appearance by the Wombles and thus the "group" moved from their stop-motion TV show to live television, and from children's novelty act to pop sensations.
Ibn Sina subsequently settled at Rey, in the vicinity of modern Tehran, the home town of Rhazes; where Majd Addaula, a son of the last Buwayhid emir, was nominal ruler under the regency of his mother (Seyyedeh Khatun). About thirty of Ibn Sina's shorter works are said to have been composed in Rey. Constant feuds which raged between the regent and her second son, Shams al-Daula, however, compelled the scholar to quit the place. After a brief sojourn at Qazvin he passed southwards to Hamadãn where Shams al-Daula, another Buwayhid emir, had established himself. At first, Ibn Sina entered into the service of a high-born lady; but the emir, hearing of his arrival, called him in as medical attendant, and sent him back with presents to his dwelling. Ibn Sina was even raised to the office of vizier. The emir decreed that he should be banished from the country. Ibn Sina, however, remained hidden for forty days in sheikh Ahmed Fadhel's house, until a fresh attack of illness induced the emir to restore him to his post. Even during this perturbed time, Ibn Sina persevered with his studies and teaching. Every evening, extracts from his great works, the Canon and the Sanatio, were dictated and explained to his pupils. On the death of the emir, Ibn Sina ceased to be vizier and hid himself in the house of an apothecary, where, with intense assiduity, he continued the composition of his works.
Three's Company The show was set in a neighborhood within walking distance of the beach in Santa Monica, California, and was filmed primarily using three main sets: the trio's apartment, their landlord's apartment, and a neighborhood pub called The Regal Beagle. In later seasons more sets were used, frequently depicting the apartment of Jack's friend Larry, Angelino's restaurant, Jack's Bistro, the hospital where Terri worked, and Janet's flower shop.
A litre (liter in the United States) is one of the metric units of volume. It is not an SI unit. One litre is the volume of one cubic decimetre, that is a cube of 10 x 10 x 10 centimetres. One litre of water has the mass of exactly one kilogram. This results from the definition given in 1795, where the gram was defined as the weight of one cubic centimetre of melting ice.

Allergies are still being studied but we know that you don't have to be born with the allergy and that you usually become sensitized to the allergen in early childhood. Your body may become sensitized when small exposures introduce the allergen and your immune system becomes primed to attack it. This can be dangerous because what gave you a mild itch before, might now put you in the hospital with no warning. With subsequent exposures over many years, the immune response may fall and the reactions become less severe. Sometimes you develop the allergy much later in life so it's an ongoing process. I became allergic to nickel metal well into adulthood and a single exposure can give me burn marks for weeks afterwards. Which sucks because nickel is everywhere in belt buckles, buttons, watches, coins, etc.
Columbian exchange Several plants native to the Americas have spread around the world, including potato, maize, tomato, and tobacco.[5] Before 1500, potatoes were not grown outside of South America. By the 1840s, Ireland was so dependent on the potato that the proximate cause of the Great Famine was a potato disease.[6] Potatoes eventually became an important staple of the diet in much of Europe, contributing to about 25% of the population growth in Afro-Eurasia between 1700 and 1900.[7] Many European rulers, including Frederick the Great of Prussia and Catherine the Great of Russia, encouraged the cultivation of the potato.[8]

Cicely Mary Barker (1895–1973), Illustration of the Pink Fairies for Flower Fairies of the Garden, 1944. Reproduction of Flower Fairy illustrations, © The Estate of Cicely Mary Barker, 2009 Beatrix Potter and Cicely Mary Barker In the early 19th century there was a widespread enthusiasm for flower fairies. This originated in J.J. Grandville's illustrations to Les Fleurs Animées of 1847 – incited by the Narcissus, Grandville's flowers become disenchanted with their 'flower-life' and beg the Flower Fairy to permit them to live on earth as humans. From the late 19th century onwards the genre developed further in the work of Kate Greenaway and other artists, and in the 1920s it was popularised by Cicely Mary Barker, beginning with Flower Fairies of the Spring (1923). In her fascination with natural history and scientific observation Cicely Mary Barker has often been associated with Beatrix Potter. Potter also imagined 'a fairyland amongst the wild flowers, the animals, fungi, mosses, woods and streams, all the thousand objects of the countryside'. Both artists began their careers producing designs for greetings cards manufacturers, and both were largely self-taught. Potter's lack of formal schooling preserved her originality, while Barker claimed to draw 'without any real thought or attention to artistic theories'. However, both were strongly influenced by what Potter described as the Pre-Raphaelites' 'niggling but absolutely genuine admiration for copying natural details'. Their principal concern was to explore the world of the imagination while remaining faithful to the true likeness of things. Sketching always from life, Barker produced meticulous preparatory studies of flowers and even obtained cuttings of less common varieties from Kew Gardens. Both she and Potter show a keen eye for natural beauty and a botanist's concern for scientific accuracy. 'Oakmen unloading the wagon, whilst rabbits eat', pencil & wash drawing by Beatrix Potter, 1916. © Frederick Warne & Co. Beatrix Potter and Ernest Aris Beatrix Potter had always illustrated her own stories but by 1916 her eyesight was beginning to fail and her hands were growing stiff. She urged her publisher to find 'some second string' to illustrate her new tale, The Oakmen. Keen to retain the credit for the illustrations, Potter sought a commercial illustrator who would 'draw to order'. She sent pencil sketches of her designs, along with instructions, to a prolific children's illustrator, Ernest Aris (1882 - 1963). However, she was careful to conceal both the text of her story and her own identity. In the end, copyright difficulties meant that The Oakmen was never published. Potter in any case felt that Aris was 'not quite a good enough artist'. For her, his work demonstrated 'considerable technical facility' but 'no originality'. Instead, Potter recounted the story in a picture-letter to her niece, Nancy Nicholson. It may have been Aris's business-like approach that can account for his lack of imagination and subtlety. Indeed, he himself said that his artistic method had always been governed by a set of 'commandments'. Potter, however, refused to work to order, arguing that 'The more spontaneous the pleasure - the more happy the result'. Maurice Sendak in front of Beatrix Potter's house, Hill Top Farm, Sawrey, Cumbria, UK. © The National Trust Beatrix Potter and Maurice Sendak Maurice Sendak (1928 - 2012) was the internationally acclaimed American author and illustrator of Where The Wild Things Are and In The Night Kitchen. The power of his stories both to delight and disturb made him one of the most highly honoured yet controversial children’s authors and illustrators of our time. Sendak often drew on the work of earlier artists. His influences include Beatrix Potter, but also Albrecht Dürer, William Blake and Randolph Caldecott. He admired Potter’s art for its ‘beauty’, ‘poetry’ and ‘aliveness’: ‘And how she could draw! – a gift not all illustrators are endowed with.’ Sendak’s illustrations to Robert Graves’s children’s story, The Big Green Book (1962), incorporate sever

Die Hard - NYC Sightseeing Tours : On Location Tours Die Hard Explore Die Hard movie locations! Written by Jeb Stuart and Steven E. de Souza, Die Hard is an American action film released in 1988 starring Bruce Willis, Bonnie Bedelia, Alan Rickman, Reginald VelJohnson, and William Atherton, and directed by John McTiernan. The movie is based on a novel by Roderick Thorp titled Nothing Lasts Forever. Die Hard was filmed in and is set in Los Angeles, but a latermovie in the series (Die Hard 3) is set in New York City. Die Hard 2 (Die Hard 2: Die Harder) Die Hard 2, also known as Die Hard 2: Die Harder, is a 1990 film starring Bruce Willis reprising his role as police detective John McClane and co-stars Bonnie Bedelia, reprising her role as Holly McClane. The movie is based on a novel by Walter Wager entitled 58 Minutes. Die Hard 2 was the first movie to have a digitally-manipulated Matte Painting. Though it takes place in Dulles International Airport in Virginia, the movie was actually filmed in many other locations. Many of the airport terminal shots were from LAX in Los Angeles, other shots were from many runways of other airports, such as Stapleton International Airport in Denver, CO. Some runway scenes were also shot at Alpena County Regional Airport in Alpena, MI. Die Hard 3 (Die Hard with a Vengeance) Die Hard with a Vengeance, also known as Die Hard 3, is the third film in the Die Hard series released in 1995. It was directed by John McTiernan and written by Jonathan Hensleigh. Many of the scenes were filmed in New York City, and you will get a chance to see these sites on our New York TV & Movie Sites Tour . You will see the New York City Water Tunnel No. 3, a then-unfinished tunnel connecting the city to reservoirs in the Catskill Mountains in upstate New York, where the chase scenes in the tunnel were filmed. Don’t forget the subway station entrance at 72nd St. and Broadway where John McClane and Zeus (Samuel Jackson) race to pick up the pay phone in order to beat the deadline imposed by the mad bomber Simon (Jeremy Irons). Also, the Tompkins Square Park at Avenue A and 7th St. is where John and Zeus struggled to solve a riddle in order to prevent the detonation of a bomb. There is also the Federal Reserve Building at William and Liberty St. where Simon and his team tried to remove the city's gold supply. Sam went in through the front entrance while the others drove trucks along the side of the building. Die Hard 4 (Live Free or Die Hard) Live Free or Die Hard, released as Die Hard 4.0 or Die Hard 4, is the fourth installment in this series. The film takes place some 19 years after the first film, and sees McClane face a gang of cyber-terrorism. Filming for Live Free or Die Hard started in downtown Baltimore, Maryland on September 23, 2006 but it didn’t go quite as expected. Willis was injured on January 24, 2007 during a fight scene, when he was kicked above his right eye. The injury was regarded as "no big deal" and Willis saw a doctor and went home for the rest of the day. Unfortunately, Bruce Willis' stunt double was seriously injured when he fell twenty-five feet to the pavement. He suffered broken bones in his face and fractures in both wrists and the production was temporarily shut down. Willis picked up the tab at area hotels for his stunt double's parents and visited him a number of times at the hospital. After the injuries, the movie was finally able to get going and was eventually released in June 2007. Most locations in this film were in Los Angeles, California such as 20th Century Fox Studios, Los Angeles Center Studios, Los Angeles International Airport, Hahn Plaza in the University of Southern California and many others. Come take this tour with us and catch a glimpse of some of the sites in this Die Hard thrilling series! We Suggest
Another study examining the health and nutrition literacy status of residents of the lower Mississippi Delta found that 52 percent of participants had a high likelihood of limited literacy skills. While a precise comparison between the NAAL and Delta studies is difficult, primarily because of methodological differences, Zoellner et al. suggest that health literacy rates in the Mississippi Delta region are different from the U.S. general population and that they help establish the scope of the problem of health literacy among adults in the Delta region. For example, only 12 percent of study participants identified the My Pyramid graphic two years after it had been launched by the USDA. The study also found significant relationships between nutrition literacy and income level and nutrition literacy and educational attainment further delineating priorities for the region.

One of the first recorded instances of translation in the West was the rendering of the Old Testament into Greek in the 3rd century BCE. The translation is known as the "Septuagint", a name that refers to the seventy translators (seventy-two, in some versions) who were commissioned to translate the Bible at Alexandria, Egypt. Each translator worked in solitary confinement in his own cell, and according to legend all seventy versions proved identical. The Septuagint became the source text for later translations into many languages, including Latin, Coptic, Armenian and Georgian.
Keeping them straight: James the Greater and James the Less \| The New Theological Movement Keeping them straight: James the Greater and James the Less St. James the Greater, of Compostela July 25th, Feast of St. James the Greater “St. James the Apostle, brother of blessed John the Evangelist, who was beheaded by Herod Agrippa about the time of the Paschal Feast, being the first of the Apostles to receive the crown of martyrdom. His sacred bones were translated on this day from Jerusalem to Spain, and buried in the furthest parts of that country, in Galicia, and are piously venerated with great honour by the people of that country, and by the mighty concourse of Christians who go thither to perform their religious duties and vows.” (from the Roman Martyrology) Devout Catholics often feel a certain anxiety when a feast of one of the St. James-es occurs. We often wonder: Which James is this again? And what did that James do? And how many Jameses are there anyways? There are, in fact, as many as five different Jameses presented in the Scripture – and to these, there are also many extra-canonical traditions regarding the Jameses. In this little article, we will not so much attempt to give all the scriptural and patristic proofs of the general tradition, but will instead strive to put forward (clearly and concisely) the scriptural and traditional accounts about the different Jameses. The five important James-figures in Scripture The name "James" in the New Testament is borne by several: 1. James, the son of Zebedee — Apostle, brother of John, Apostle; also called "James the Greater". 2. James, the son of Alpheus, Apostle — Matthew 10:3; Mark 3:18; Luke 6:15; Acts 1:13. 3. James, the brother of the Lord — Matthew 13:55; Mark 6:3; Galatians 1:19. Without a shadow of doubt, he must be identified with the James of Galatians 2:2 and 2:9; Acts 12:17, 15:13 sqq. and 21:18; and 1 Corinthians 15:7. 4. James, the son of Mary, brother of Joseph (or Joses) — Mark 15:40 (where he is called "the little", not the "less", as in the D.V., nor the "lesser"); Matthew 27:56. Probably the son of Cleophas or Clopas (John 19:25) where "Maria Cleophæ" is generally translated "Mary the wife of Cleophas", as married women are commonly distinguished by the addition of their husband's name. 5. James, the brother of Jude — Jude 1:1. Most Catholic commentators identify Jude with the "Judas Jacobi", the "brother of James" (Luke 6:16; Acts 1:13), called thus because his brother James was better known than himself in the primitive Church. [taken from the Catholic Encyclopedia on “James the Less”] Additionally, we know of James who wrote the Letter of St. James, James the bishop of Jerusalem, James who is regularly mentioned together with Peter and John, James whose bones are in Compostela (Spain), and James who is buried in Rome (at Dodici Apostoli). The Church has recognized, in all these James-figures, only two men – who were related as uncle and nephew. James the Less (uncle of James the Greater) The general consensus of the Fathers, Doctors and theologians is that James the Less is the “James” of 2-5 (from the above list), as well as the Bishop of Jerusalem, the author of the Letter of St. James, and who is buried in Rome. This James is the brother (rather, cousin) of the Lord (through both Joseph and Mary), the son of Cleophas (aka Alphaeus, who met Christ on the way to Emmaus and was brother to Joseph the spouse of Mary) and Mary of Alphaeus (the sister of the Virgin Mary), the brother also of Mary Salome, and also the brother of Jude the Apostle, called the Less or the little. This James is also called “James the Just”. His feast is on May 3rd (May 11th in the 1962 calendar, though traditionally on May 1st), together with St. Philip.

Square (slang) In the parlance of jazz, a square was a person who failed to appreciate the medium, or, more broadly, someone who was out of date or out of touch, hence the saying "be there or be square". In the counterculture movements that started in the 1940s and took momentum in the 1960s a "square" referred to someone who clung to repressive, traditional, stereotypical, one-sided, or "in the box" ways of thinking. The term was used by hipsters in the 1940s, beatniks in the 1950s, hippies in the 1960s, yippies in the 1970s, and other individuals who took part in the movements which emerged to contest the more conservative national, political, religious, philosophical, musical, and social trends. It comes from the square representing a four-beat rhythm as shown by a conductor's hands.[1] It was in this context that Sly and the Family Stone's trumpet player Cynthia Robinson yelled out in the hit "Dance to the Music": "All the squares go home!" If the counterculture was a shift from conservatism to liberalism, then square was what liberal people called conservative people and things. While the term waned in popularity during the 1980s, it remained in the public consciousness, particularly of the American baby boom generation, enough that its broad meaning (of a person who respects traditional principles) is exemplified in Huey Lewis's 1986 hit "Hip To Be Square".

John Bodkin Adams (21 January 1899 – 4 July 1983) was a British general practitioner, convicted fraudster and suspected serial killer. Between 1946 and 1956, more than 160 of his patients died in suspicious circumstances. Of these, 132 left him money or items in their wills. He was tried and acquitted for the murder of one patient in 1957. Another count of murder was withdrawn by the prosecution in what was later described as "an abuse of process" by the presiding judge Patrick Devlin, causing questions to be asked in Parliament about the prosecution's handling of events. The trial was featured in headlines around the world and was described at the time as "one of the greatest murder trials of all time" and "murder trial of the century". It was also described at the time as "unique" because, in the words of the judge, "the act of murder" had "to be proved by expert evidence."
The history of emotions has become an increasingly popular topic recently, with some scholars arguing that it is an essential category of analysis, not unlike class, race, or gender. Historians, like other social scientists, assume that emotions, feelings and their expressions are regulated in different ways by both different cultures and different historical times, and constructivist school of history claims even that some sentiments and meta-emotions, for example Schadenfreude, are learnt and not only regulated by culture. Historians of emotion trace and analyse the changing norms and rules of feeling, while examining emotional regimes, codes, and lexicons from social, cultural or political history perspectives. Others focus on the history of medicine, science or psychology. What somebody can and may feel (and show) in a given situation, towards certain people or things, depends on social norms and rules. It is thus historically variable and open to change. Several research centers have opened in the past few years in Germany, England, Spain, Sweden and Australia.

The Guns of Navarone Reviews & Ratings - IMDb IMDb 106 out of 129 people found the following review useful: Affectionately crafted piece of art that is sadly under-appreciated by the typical modern "soundbite" moviegoer. from Gilbert, AZ 15 August 2004 Wow - I used to think "Guns Of Navarone" was a try-hard, almost-there type of near-classic war film that had muffled sound, used a bad coloring process, was poorly lit, was limited by budget and the technology of the time. Boy, was I WRONG - I had seen this film several times, all on conventional/cable TV, VHS and even Laserdisc prior to the recent UCLA restoration now out on DVD. I never completely engaged in the reality/experience of this movie. It was as if I was listening to Beethoven's Ninth on an AM clock radio in an adjacent room. The newly-restored DVD in its original widescreen format showcased on a big screen TV in surround sound is the ONLY way to fully take in this piece of art, unless you perchance get lucky enough to see it in a cine complex. Unless you have viewed this film in its original condition in a theater or restored, letterboxed with proper-sized screen and sound, your previous/future comments have ZERO merit, as far as I'm concerned. So many people here have commented on this film "lacking action" and being a "bore" - I could not disagree more. Although I have not read the book (something I rarely do anymore due to an unfortunate accident years ago), this movie resembled a well-written novel. It was FULL of REAL character development, bringing you mixed emotions - at times you love, feel for, loathe or despise them - even the German army officer, during the interrogation/capture scene (which I will not spoil), had a warm, admirable quality about him. I will purchase/rent/borrow an audiobook of this, if at all possible, because Alistair MacLean has some of the best written adventure material ever brought to film. The action in this film was aplenty - maybe not a Schwarzeneger thrillride, but that would have made it completely unbelievable. The character development, internal conflict and subplots more than adequately fill the non-action lulls, if you want to call them that. One reviewer here commented on a shipwreck scene of 15 minutes that seemed like forever - the entire realistic shipwreck sequence was barely five minutes long, FYI. Without going into too much "spoiling" detail, there was constant suspense while the Germans were nipping at their heels all film long. It contained espionage, several hand-to-hand combat sequences, several shootings, knifings, cars/trucks being blown up, carjackings, explosions, dive bombings, mortar bombardments, strafings, assassinations, etc. With six men and two women against several dozen Germans, you can't justifiably get much more action packed into a script unless you would unnecessarily/unrealistically insert more just to intensify the film. The film did not really need intensifying as the plot was strong enough on its own merits - as were all the characters and the subplots surrounding them. The editing is top-notch. This film is lovingly woven into a tapestry with nice artistic dissolves/fades/graphics transitioning scenes (chapters) and furthering character development and story lines - the accompanying music only enhances those transitions like adding melted butter and/or salt to cooked vegetables enhancing their flavor. To me, this film is very warm and comfortable when it needs to be, but also cold and abrasive at times to make its social commentary. Carl Foreman scripted another great masterpiece with his usual pro/anti-war statements wrapped neatly in an entertaining adventure that makes one think. The end retrospective sequence with the Dimitri Tiomkin score is indelibly touching and unforgettable - a rather unorthodox approach for a "war movie." The sweeping landscape photography and several cultural touches truly captured the beauty and flavor of Greece and its proud people. Ironically, when at Blockbuster, I coincidentally chose this film to view with my son - on the Opening Day of the XXVIII Oly
The frog is one; a tadpole after escaping the egg, he slowly transforms over a season. Water is one of a few basic necessities for development. A tadpole's exact requirements for life vary depending on species. The one thing tadpoles need above all else is water. Some species have unique adaptations that facilitate their getting to it. For example, the waxy monkey frog lays eggs in leaf nests a few feet above the water's surface so that when the eggs hatch the tadpoles wriggle free and drop into the water below.
Major Battles of the Spanish Civil War Major Battles of the Spanish Civil War Survey for future additions to the web site What areas would you like to see this web site cover in the future? Personalities of the Civil War Political Parties Life in the Republican sector Life in the Nationalist sector Foreign intervention Please put any other suggestions or comments here The Battle of the Ebro The battle of the Ebro was the last major Republican offensive of the war. By July 1938 many observers considered the Republic all but lost. This may help explain the total surprise achieved when Republican troops crossed the Ebro river under cover of darkness on the night of 24-25th of July. The attack involved two corps of the Popular Army and was launched from the territory of Catalonia. It was hoped that this offensive would be able to reestablish land communication with the central Republican zone. The initial attack met with success, with some Nationalist units being surrounded and Lister's 5th Corps reaching the outskirts of Gandesa, approximately 25 miles from their starting point. Franco was quick to respond and Nationalist units were rushed to the front from other sectors to contain the advance. Additionally the Nationalists provided much air support to the Ebro front, including the German Condor Legion. These aircraft were able to hamper Republican re supply efforts, as all material had to be bought across bridges, making it very vulnerable. By early August the Nationalists had mostly contained the offensive and were ready to counterattack. Concentrating artillery on a chosen sector, they would proceed each assault with a ferocious bombardment. At this point the Republicans adopted a policy that was to prove fatal to their hopes of continuing the war. Faced with superior firepower they chose to hold the ground they had taken at whatever cost, including threatening to shoot officers or men who withdrew. This allowed the Nationalists to destroy much of the Republican Army of the Ebro and its equipment, leaving Catalonia vulnerable to an assault it could no longer hope to contain. The battle of the Ebro was the longest battle of the Civil War and it wasn't until early November that the Nationalists were able to break the Republican front and advance to the Ebro river. By November 18th the fighting was over with the Nationalists once again in control of the contested territory and the Republican forces exhausted. Estimates of casualties for the Republic are as high as 75,000, including wounded and captured. The Nationalists may have suffered around 60,000 casualties, but their forces remained intact enough to launch an offensive into Catalonia a few weeks after the Ebro fighting ended.

St. John's served as the capital city of the Colony of Newfoundland and the Dominion of Newfoundland before Newfoundland became Canada's tenth province in 1949. The city now serves as the capital of Newfoundland and Labrador, therefore the provincial legislature is located in the city. The Confederation Building, located on Confederation Hill, is home to the House of Assembly along with the offices for the Members of the House of Assembly (MHAs) and Ministers. The city is represented by ten MHAs, four who are members of the governing Progressive Conservative Party, three that belong to the New Democratic Party (NDP), and three that belong to the Liberal Party. Lorraine Michael, leader of the NDP since 2006, represents the district of Signal Hill-Quidi Vidi.

Jehovah's Witnesses believe their highest allegiance belongs to God's kingdom, which is viewed as an actual government in heaven, with Christ as king. They remain politically neutral, do not seek public office, and are discouraged from voting, though individual members may participate in uncontroversial community improvement issues. Although they do not take part in politics, they respect the authority of the governments under which they live. They do not celebrate religious holidays such as Christmas and Easter, nor do they observe birthdays, nationalistic holidays, or other celebrations they consider to honor people other than Jesus. They feel that these and many other customs have pagan origins or reflect a nationalistic or political spirit. Their position is that these traditional holidays reflect Satan's control over the world. Witnesses are told that spontaneous giving at other times can help their children to not feel deprived of birthdays or other celebrations.

2007 Notre Dame Fighting Irish football team In what was the largest margin victory the Trojans have put forth on the Irish to date, Notre Dame was shut out by USC for the first time since 1998. USC came into this game 5–1,[38] while Notre Dame came in 1–6.[39] Notre Dame head coach Charlie Weis announced during that summer that his team would wear throwback green jerseys for the matchup, signifying the 30-year anniversary of the Irish beating the Trojans in their green jerseys in 1977, when Weis was a senior at Notre Dame. Because of John David Booty's injured finger, USC back-up quarterback, Mark Sanchez, was the starter. In his second game as a starter, Sanchez managed to complete 21 of 38 passes with a combined total of 235 yards and 4 touchdown passes.[39] This was the Trojans' 6th consecutive victory over the Irish, and in the process they became only the third team to accomplish this feat (Michigan and Michigan State share the record with eight straight wins in non consecutive years).[40]
Leg swelling can occur in any part of the legs, including the feet, ankles, calves and thighs. Leg swelling can result either from fluid buildup (fluid retention) or from inflammation in injured or diseased tissues or joints. Many of the causes of leg swelling, such as an injury or prolonged standing or sitting, are easily identified.
Since the work of Franz Boas and Bronisław Malinowski in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, social anthropology in Great Britain and cultural anthropology in the US have been distinguished from other social sciences by its emphasis on cross-cultural comparisons, long-term in-depth examination of context, and the importance it places on participant-observation or experiential immersion in the area of research. Cultural anthropology in particular has emphasized cultural relativism, holism, and the use of findings to frame cultural critiques. This has been particularly prominent in the United States, from Boas' arguments against 19th-century racial ideology, through Margaret Mead's advocacy for gender equality and sexual liberation, to current criticisms of post-colonial oppression and promotion of multiculturalism. Ethnography is one of its primary research designs as well as the text that is generated from anthropological fieldwork.

The article you've read is mostly right, but is missing one idea that's causing your confusion. Generally speaking, as you add CO2 to the atmosphere, a fraction of it dissolves into the oceans. However, CO2, like most gases, becomes less soluble in water as the temperature goes up. Combining these two ideas: in the modern world, atmospheric CO2 and temperature are both rising. About a third of the CO2 we put into the atmosphere is being taken up by the ocean (causing acidification), but as temperature rises, the fraction taken up becomes less and less. Atmospheric and oceanic CO2* are both rising, but ocean uptake gets less effective as it gets warmer. _URL_0_ _URL_1_ \\* For nitpickers: by "oceanic CO2" I mean total dissolved inorganic carbon, not just CO2.
Biggest Muscles in the Human Body Biggest Muscles in the Human Bodyby THELMA GOMEZ Aug. 14, 2017The human body contains 3 types of muscle tissue: smooth, cardiac and skeletal. Skeletal muscles are responsible for locomotion and other body movements under voluntary control. The body includes more than 600 skeletal muscles of various shapes and sizes. The largest muscles, which often function in groups, perform the most strenuous tasks. Video of the Day Error loading player: Flash plugin failed to load Gluteus Maximus The gluteus maximus is the biggest muscle in the human body, by volume. The gluteal muscle group -- commonly known as the glutes -- includes 3 muscles located at the back of each hip. The glutes are the major components of each buttock. Gluteus maximus is the largest and most superficial of the gluteal muscle group, which also include gluteus medius and gluteus minimus. Gluteus maximus, along with the other gluteal muscles, serves many important functions. It stabilizes the pelvis and lower back, enabling an upright posture. It also has important roles in hip and thigh movements, and is a key player in powering walking, running and climbing. Latissimus Dorsi Latissimus dorsi is the widest muscle in the human body. The Latin name of the muscle translates as the broadest muscle of the back. Commonly known as the lats, these fan-like muscles originate in the lower and middle back and attach on the inner aspect of the upper arm bone, the humerus. The lats are powerful muscles that enable a range of shoulder movements, working in conjunction with other muscles. They are particularly active in sports that require powerful upper arm movements, such racket sports and swimming. The lats also assist with deep breathing. Quads and Hamstrings The muscle groups of the thighs are also among the largest in the human body. The quadriceps femoris, commonly known the quad, is a 4-headed muscle located at the front of the thigh. This large, bulky muscle includes the rectus femoris, vastus lateralis, vastus medialis and vastus interomedialis. The quads power extension of the knee and aid in flexion of the hip. The hamstrings muscle group, located on the back side of the thigh, includes the semimembranosus, semitendinosus and biceps femoris. Broadly considered, the hamstrings oppose the quads, powering knee flexion and hip extension. The hamstrings also aid in rotation of the knee. Any activity involving the upper legs -- even standing still -- requires activation of the quads and hamstrings. Other Contenders Many other skeletal muscles are contenders for inclusion among the biggest muscles of the human body. For example, the back contains 3 layers of muscles. Large superficial back muscles include the triangular trapezius, which originates from the spinal bones of the chest and neck and attaches to the shoulder blade and clavicle. The deep muscles of the back, also known as the intrinsic back muscles, run the entire length of the spinal column to the base of the skull. These muscles work together to support the spine and enable its movements. The front of the trunk also includes many large muscles and muscle groups. Some of the largest make up the abdominal wall, including the rectus abdominus and internal and external obliques. In the chest region, the large pectoralis major muscles fan out from the breastbone and inner end of the clavicle and attach to the upper end of the humerus to power several movements at the shoulder.

Richard Kiel, James Bond villian Jaws, dies at 74 - Chicago Tribune Privacy Policy Richard Kiel , who most famously played the villainous Jaws in two James Bond films starring Roger Moore, "The Spy Who Loved Me" and "Moonraker," and also appeared in Adam Sandler comedy "Happy Gilmore," died Wednesday afternoon in a hospital in Fresno, Calif., three days shy of his 75th birthday. Kiel died at Saint Agnes Medical Center , hospital spokeswoman Kelley Sanchez said. She did not reveal any further details on the cause of his death, citing patient confidentiality. "He was a very loyal friend and client for over 35 years, a terrific husband and father, and was not only a giant actor but a giant man," said Steve Stevens, Kiel's agent. The actor had broken his leg earlier in the week, but it is not clear if that event is tied to his death. Kiel had lent his voice to a James Bond videogame in 2003 but more recently had voiced Vlad for the animated film "Tangled" in 2010. Before his appearances in the Bond film in the mid to late '70s, Kiel was perhaps best known for his roles in Burt Reynolds prison football film "The Longest Yard" and for appearing in several episodes of "The Wild Wild West" as an assistant to supervilllain Miguelito Loveless (played by dwarf Michael Dunn). Remembering legends, celebrities and other newsmakers who passed away this year. Younger audiences knew him best from "Happy Gilmore," in which he played a golf spectator who threatens the villainous Shooter McGavin. Stevens said Kiel had taken a step back from acting after he was involved in a truck accident several years ago and was faced with walking difficulties. He remained active on the autograph circuit for avid Bond fans. Kiel stood 7 feet 1.5 inches tall in his prime. His height and distinctive features were the result of acromegaly, a hormonal condition. In 1962 the actor played the title role in "Eegah," beloved by fans of extraordinarily bad movies. The same year Kiel starred "To Serve a Man," a classic episode of "Twilight Zone" in which he played Kanamit. A few years later he appeared on "The Monkees." In the 1970s he continued to appear on television. He was a series regular on the William Shatner- Doug McClure series "Barbary Coast," and he was an evil Native American shapeshifter who terrorizes Darren McGavin 's character in "The Night Stalker." The actor's autobiography, "Making It Big in the Movies," was published in 2002. Variety, Reuters
Thermographic cameras detect radiation in the infrared range of the electromagnetic spectrum (roughly 900–14,000 nanometers or 0.9–14 μm) and produce images of that radiation. Since infrared radiation is emitted by all objects based on their temperatures, according to the black body radiation law, thermography makes it possible to "see" one's environment with or without visible illumination. The amount of radiation emitted by an object increases with temperature, therefore thermography allows one to see variations in temperature (hence the name).

It was about 16 inches tall and completely healthy. I was very impressed. This led me to place the second order. But this time it was quite disappointing. They were about 4 inches tall and wilted. And they didn't look like eucalyptus silver drop. They looked like lemon eucalyptus, since their leaves are slightly more pointier than the eucalyptus I have from my first order. I'm not sure whether I can say I was just unlucky.. I hope there is consistency in the quality and accuracy of the items they handle. By the way, they promised to issue the refund, which made me consider placing the same order one more time- this time keeping my fingers crossed.. Was this review helpful to you?

Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS) Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)Definition - What does Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)mean? Dialed number identification service (DNIS) is a telecommunications service sold to corporations that allows them to determine which number a customer dialed to reach them. This is important for companies that have different numbers for different areas of support and service even though all the calls are handled by the same call center. DNIS can help the company direct the call to the appropriate place, play the right message or provide support in the right language. Techopedia explains Dialed Number Identification Service (DNIS)When the carrier passes calls to the automatic call distributors, the dialed number identification service is also passed along so that the automatic call distributor can use this information to route calls. DNIS works by passing on the touch tone digits the caller punches in to a special facility that can read them, display them or incorporate them into call center programming The dialed number identification ranges from four to 10 digits in length. If a call center is handling calls for multiple product lines, for example, the switch receiving the calls can examine dialed number identification and respond accordingly.

Itâs unfortunate that Netflix does not announce the exact time the series will be released on Netflix. As weâve been following Netflix and their workings regularly for years, we have a great idea when the shows and movies will be released on Netflix. Usually, Netflix releases their shows, movies, and specials at 12:01 a.m. Pacific time on the day of the release. That means Fuller House will be available to stream on Netflix just after midnight on the West Coast. If you live on the West Coast, you can easily power through a few episodes before morning!

AK-47 The AK-47, AK, or as it is officially known (Russian: Автома́т Кала́шникова, tr. Avtomát Kaláshnikova, lit. Kalashnikov's Automatic Rifle), also known as the Kalashnikov, is a gas-operated, 7.62×39mm assault rifle, developed in the Soviet Union by Mikhail Kalashnikov. It is the originating firearm of the Kalashnikov rifle (or "AK") family.
In addition to the Vedas, the principal texts of Hinduism, the core themes of the Sanskrit epics Ramayana and Mahabharata are said to have their ultimate origins during this period. The Mahabharata remains, today, the longest single poem in the world. Historians formerly postulated an "epic age" as the milieu of these two epic poems, but now recognize that the texts (which are both familiar with each other) went through multiple stages of development over centuries. For instance, the Mahabharata may have been based on a small-scale conflict (possibly about 1000 BCE) which was eventually "transformed into a gigantic epic war by bards and poets". There is no conclusive proof from archaeology as to whether the specific events of the Mahabharat have any historical basis. The existing texts of these epics are believed to belong to the post-Vedic age, between c. 400 BCE and 400 CE. Some even attempted to date the events using methods of archaeoastronomy which have produced, depending on which passages are chosen and how they are interpreted, estimated dates ranging up to mid 2nd millennium BCE.

Grey matter Grey matter (or gray matter) is a major component of the central nervous system, consisting of neuronal cell bodies, neuropil (dendrites and myelinated as well as unmyelinated axons), glial cells (astrocytes and oligodendrocytes), synapses, and capillaries. Grey matter is distinguished from white matter, in that it contains numerous cell bodies and relatively few myelinated axons, while white matter contains relatively few cell bodies and is composed chiefly of long-range myelinated axon tracts.[1] The colour difference arises mainly from the whiteness of myelin. In living tissue, grey matter actually has a very light grey colour with yellowish or pinkish hues, which come from capillary blood vessels and neuronal cell bodies.[2]

It lies one degree -LRB- 137 km -RRB- north of the equator , at the southern tip of peninsular Malaysia , with Indonesia 's Riau Islands to the south . Singapore 's territory consists of one main island along with 62 other islets . Since independence , extensive land reclamation has increased its total size by 23 % -LRB- 130 km2 -RRB- , and its greening policy has covered the densely populated island with tropical flora , parks and gardens . Stamford Raffles founded colonial Singapore in 1819 as a trading post of the East India Company ; after its collapse and the eventual establishment of the British Raj , the islands were ceded to Britain and became part of its Straits Settlements in 1826 . During the Second World War , Singapore was occupied by Japan . It gained independence from the UK in 1963 by federating with other former British territories to form Malaysia , but separated two years later over ideological differences , becoming a sovereign nation in 1965 . After early years of turbulence , and despite lacking natural resources and a hinterland , the nation developed rapidly as an Asian Tiger economy , based on external trade and its workforce . Singapore is a global commerce , finance and transport hub . Its standings include : the most `` technology-ready '' nation -LRB- WEF -RRB- , top International-meetings city -LRB- UIA -RRB- , city with `` best investment potential '' -LRB- BERI -RRB- , second-most competitive country , third-largest foreign exchange market , third-largest financial centre , third-largest oil refining and trading centre , and the second-busiest container port .

Austria The status of South Tyrol was a lingering problem between Austria and Italy until it was officially settled by the 1980s with a great degree of autonomy being granted to it by the Italian national government. Between 1918 and 1919, Austria was known as the State of German Austria (). Not only did the Entente powers forbid German Austria to unite with Germany, but they also rejected the name German Austria in the peace treaty to be signed; it was, therefore, changed to Republic of Austria in late 1919.
