Sean Rowe Since 2003, Rowe played locally in his hometown at open mics, bars and cafes.[10] He began playing with percussionist Marco Haber, who played on a few tracks on his first album "27". Shortly thereafter they began playing under the name Mudfunk and recorded a live album, Live at the Grind, as well as a single of "Wrong Side of the Bed." The latter would be re-recorded for Sean's solo album, Magic, without Haber and with different instrumentation. He recorded his album, Magic, at Collar City Sound and released it through Collar City Records on April 21, 2009.[1][6] In 2009, Rowe was asked to open for Noah and the Whale in the United Kingdom.[1] Soon after, Sean signed with ANTI- Records, which re-released Magic on February 22, 2011,[11] and released The Salesman and the Shark on August 28, 2012. On March 4, Sean played his new release, "Downwind", on Jimmy Kimmel Live. The movie The Accountant with actor Ben Affleck (2016) features Sean Rowe's song "To Leave Something Behind"

List of countries by GDP (nominal) The United States is the world's largest economy with a GDP of approximately $19.39 trillion, notably due to high average incomes, a large population,[7] capital investment, moderate unemployment,[8] high consumer spending,[9] a relatively young population,[10] and technological innovation.[11] Tuvalu is the world's smallest national economy, with a GDP of about $32 million, because of its very small population, a lack of natural resources, reliance on foreign aid, negligible capital investment, demographic problems, and low average incomes.[12]
North Korea wants to appear normal to the rest of the world. They also want to appear better than the rest of the world. What better way than to compete in the Olympics. The government wants these athletes to compete. They probably send along an entourage of guards to keep them company. According to Vice (not the best source I know), they make it obvious to the individual leaving the country that the government could arrest the individuals family at any time, so they have an incentive to behave while outside.

The early Christian philosophy of Augustine of Hippo was heavily influenced by Plato. A key change brought about by Christian thought was the moderatation of the Stoicism and theory of justice of the Roman world, as well emphasis on the role of the state in applying mercy as a moral example. Augustine also preached that one was not a member of his or her city, but was either a citizen of the City of God (Civitas Dei) or the City of Man (Civitas Terrena). Augustine's City of God is an influential work of this period that attacked the thesis, held by many Christian Romans, that the Christian view could be realized on Earth.

Life Cycle of Butterflies and Moths The life cycle or life history of Butterflies and Moths is:- The Egg or Ovum, The Caterpillar or Larva, The Chrysalis or Pupa and finally the Adult Butterfly or Moth (the Imago). BUTTERFLY AND MOTH EGGS Eggs come in an incredible variety of shapes, sizes and markings. Those that are going to hatch out within a week or two are often laid on a leaf, some on the upper side of the leaf and some on the underside and they may be laid singly, in pairs or in a large batch depending on the species. A few species drop their eggs into grasses when in flight. Many species that overwinter as eggs lay them on the trunk, branch or twig of a tree and often close to a bud. Examples of the eggs of twelve butterfly species are shown below. Starting from the top left the species of the eggs is as follows:- Row 6: Alder Moth ( Acronicta alni ), Copper Underwing ( Amphipyra pyramidea ), Light Crimson Underwing ( Catocala promissa ) THE CATERPILLAR OR LARVA Most caterpillars have 3 pairs of true legs and with a few exceptions up to 5 pairs of prolegs or claspers as illustrated in the picture below. The true legs are segmented with joints and become the walking legs in the adult butterfly or moth. In most cases the number of prolegs varies from 2 to 5 but some leaf-mining caterpillars and Limacodidae species have none and some Zygaenoidea have more than 5 pairs. The number of prolegs and their size is often helpful in determining which family or families the caterpillar is likely to be part of and hence can help in identifying which species it is, examples from a few families can be found below. As a caterpillar grows in size it becomes too large for its skin which it sheds, typically 4 times, before it changes into a chrysalis. In some cases the number of prolegs which are visible increases as the caterpillar grows and changes its skin. WHAT'S THAT CATERPILLAR? MOTH CATERPILLARS Trying to work out the species of many caterpillars is often very difficult, not only because of the large number of species but also because many caterpillars undergo a significant change in their appearance as they grow. One method that can be used to start the identification process is to try and work out which family grouping the caterpillar belongs to. The following gives some pointers to help decide which of the main family groups a caterpillar belongs to. The order in which the families are listed below is not taxonomic but is my own suggestion for working through some of the key identifying characteristics. This starts with caterpillars that only have two pairs of functional prolegs, then three pairs followed by the groups which, apart from a small number of exceptions, have five pairs of prolegs. In the following examples I have also included pictures of the caterpillars that enthusiasts in the UK are most often asked to identify. NOTE: If you want to see the life history that has been recorded so far for any of the species listed below, click on the scientific name and it will appear on a separate frame. Family: Geometridae This is a large family with around 300 species either resident or regular migrants to the UK. Virtually all these species have only two pairs of prolegs, being without those on abdominal segments A3, A4 and A5. The absence of these three pairs of prolegs results in them moving by a looping process of arching and straightening the body - hence they are often called 'loopers'. The photograph of a Pale Brindled Beauty ( Apocheima pilosaria ) caterpillar is shown below. I am aware of a few species which are classified as Geometers which 'break the rule'. The Orange Underwing ( Archiearis parthenias ) (picture below) and Light Orange Underwing ( Archiearis notha ) both have varying size vestigial prolegs on segments A3 to A5. The March Moth ( Alsophila aescularia ) (picture below) and the Light Emerald ( Campaea margaritata ) both have vestigial prolegs on A5. The Scalloped Hazel ( Odontopera bidentata ) pictured below has two tiny pairs
It is important to allow a bit more room per person at a round table, because the place setting tapers like a pie wedge towards the center of the table. How High Should the Table Be? Our complete dining tables are approximately 30 in height. This is between two undesirable extremes. Much shorter tables can be difficult to fit your legs under, while much higher tables put oneâs plate uncomfortably high. Dining table legs are 29, which leaves about an inch for top thickness.
Fourteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution The Due Process Clause prohibits state and local government officials from depriving persons of life, liberty, or property without legislative authorization. This clause has also been used by the federal judiciary to make most of the Bill of Rights applicable to the states, as well as to recognize substantive and procedural requirements that state laws must satisfy.
Sociocultural anthropology has been heavily influenced by structuralist and postmodern theories, as well as a shift toward the analysis of modern societies. During the 1970s and 1990s, there was an epistemological shift away from the positivist traditions that had largely informed the discipline.[page needed] During this shift, enduring questions about the nature and production of knowledge came to occupy a central place in cultural and social anthropology. In contrast, archaeology and biological anthropology remained largely positivist. Due to this difference in epistemology, the four sub-fields of anthropology have lacked cohesion over the last several decades.
Lavender oil is produced via steam distillation. The flowers are picked when they are in full bloom, where they contain the maximum amount of esters. It takes 150 pounds of lavender to produce just one pound of pure lavender essential oil. You can also make a cold infusion by soaking lavender flowers in another oil.
âJudge Judyâ staged but cases real ‘Judge Judy’ staged but cases real By hrahmlow@sunjournal.com - June 25, 2012 0DEAR SUN SPOTS: Is the “Judge Judy Show” filmed in New York or Los Angeles? Also, I am looking for Patty Bubier of Livermore and Tri-County Auto Sales to contact me by email. —bruceomega@hotmail.com ANSWER: According to several websites, Judge Judy is filmed in Los Angeles. At answers.yahoo.com it said:“‘Judge Judy’ is filmed at the Tribune production studios, now known as Sunset Bronson Studios as of early 2008, on Sunset Boulevard in Los Angeles, Calif., … directly beside the Judge Joe Brown set in the same studios. Advertisement“Despite its California location, upon returning from commercial breaks the show displays various images of New York City, including a subway train that is passing by the camera which reads World Trade Center, but is only noticeable if the footage is paused. It also features the phrases ‘State of New York’ and ‘Family Court’ ( [Judge Judy] Sheindlin was previously a New York family court judge) within the letterboxes used going to and from breaks since the ninth season. The set features a New York state flag behind Sheindlin’s seat.“In order to ensure a full audience, the producers … hire extras who comprise the entire gallery. The phone number for Judge Judy is 1-888-800-JUDY (5839). Call if you “want justice” or if you want tickets to see a taping of the show. Though tickets are not offered for the show, arrangements can sometimes be made with Sheindlin’s production staff to allow fans of the show into the audience. Once all the cases are through, all of the audience members receive payment.“The extras must be dressed formally. Extras are also instructed to appear as if they are having discussions with each other, before and after each case, so the bailiff may make announcements, such as ‘Order! All rise’ and ‘Parties are excused, you may step out.’“As far as the court cases are concerned however, what is seen on ‘Judge Judy’ is neither staged nor scripted. The plaintiffs have actually sued the defendants and that very case is heard and decided upon by Judith Sheindlin.“The postal address for Judge Judy is P. O. Box 949, Hollywood, CA 90078.”DEAR SUN SPOTS: I have a card shuffler that runs by batteries that I will give to Harold (June 20) if he will call me at 743-6635 — Sally Brown, brownsally131@yahoo.com ANSWER: How very nice of you!

Sidecar Cocktail - Small Screen Network The Cocktail Spirit with Robert Hess Sidecar Cocktail The sidecar is a classic cocktail which most bartenders know, but seems to be rarely ordered. Part of this is because it is poorly made, and more often than not made with sour mix instead of fresh ingredients. Properly made this drink should be made with cognac (or brandy), Cointreau, and fresh lemon juice. There are however a variety of ways these ingredients can be combined, the secret is how to do so in a way that presents a perfect balance. Ingredients

When plaque builds up in the body's arteries, the condition is called atherosclerosis (ATH-er-o-skler-O-sis). Over time, plaque can harden and narrow the arteries. This limits the flow of oxygen-rich blood to your organs and other parts of your body. P.A.D. usually affects the arteries in the legs, but it also can affect the arteries that carry blood from your heart to your head, arms, kidneys, and stomach.

The Building \| Whitney Museum of American Art Whitney Museum of American Art Wed–Thurs10:30 am–6 pm Fri–Sat10:30 am–10 pm Sun10:30 am–6 pm The perfect gift for any art enthusiast: Memberships start at just $85. Subscribe The Building Designed by architect Renzo Piano and situated between the High Line and the Hudson River, the Whitney's building in the Meatpacking District vastly increases the Museum’s exhibition and programming space, offering the most expansive display ever of its unsurpassed collection of modern and contemporary American art. Video Designed by architect Renzo Piano, the Whitney's building in the Meatpacking District includes approximately 50,000 square feet of indoor galleries and 13,000 square feet of outdoor exhibition space and terraces facing the High Line. An expansive gallery for special exhibitions is approximately 18,000 square feet in area, making it the largest column-free museum gallery in New York City. Additional exhibition space includes a lobby gallery (accessible free of charge), two floors for the permanent collection, and a special exhibitions gallery on the top floor. According to Mr. Piano, “The design for the new museum emerges equally from a close study of the Whitney’s needs and from a response to this remarkable site. We wanted to draw on its vitality and at the same time enhance its rich character. The first big gesture, then, is the cantilevered entrance, which transforms the area outside the building into a large, sheltered public space. At this gathering place beneath the High Line, visitors will see through the building entrance and the large windows on the west side to the Hudson River beyond. Here, all at once, you have the water, the park, the powerful industrial structures and the exciting mix of people, brought together and focused by this new building and the experience of art.” The dramatically cantilevered entrance along Gansevoort Street shelters an 8,500-square-foot outdoor plaza or “largo,” a public gathering space steps away from the southern entrance to the High Line. The building also includes an education center offering state-of-the-art classrooms; a multi-use black box theater for film, video, and performance with an adjacent outdoor gallery; a 170-seat theater with stunning views of the Hudson River; and a Works on Paper Study Center, Conservation Lab, and Library Reading Room. The classrooms, theater, and study center are all firsts for the Whitney. A retail shop on the ground-floor level contributes to the busy street life of the area. A ground-floor restaurant and top-floor cafe are operated by renowned restaurateur Danny Meyer and his Union Square Hospitality Group. Mr. Piano’s design takes a strong and strikingly asymmetrical form—one that responds to the industrial character of the neighboring loft buildings and overhead railway while asserting a contemporary, sculptural presence. The upper stories of the building overlook the Hudson River on its west, and step back gracefully from the elevated High Line Park to its east. The Metropolitan Museum of Art is presenting exhibitions and educational programming at the Whitney’s uptown building for a period of eight years, with the possibility of extending the agreement for a longer term.

USS "Intrepid" (CV/CVA/CVS-11), also known as The Fighting "I", is one of 24 "Essex"-class aircraft carrier s built during World War II for the United States Navy. She is the fourth US Navy ship to bear the name. Commissioned in August 1943, "Intrepid" participated in several campaigns in the Pacific Theater of Operations, most notably the Battle of Leyte Gulf. Decommissioned shortly after the end of the war, she was modernized and recommissioned in the early 1950s as an attack carrier (CVA), and then eventually became an antisubmarine carrier (CVS). In her second career, she served mainly in the Atlantic, but also participated in the Vietnam War. Her notable achievements include being the recovery ship for a Mercury and a Gemini space mission. Because of her prominent role in battle, she was nicknamed "the Fighting I", while her frequent bad luck and time spent in dry dock for repairs—she was torpedoed once and hit by four separate Japanese kamikaze aircraft—earned her the nicknames "Decrepit" and "the Dry I". Decommissioned in 1974, in 1982 "Intrepid" became the foundation of the "Intrepid" Sea, Air & Space Museum in New York City.

Lesson Transcript Instructor: Heather Carroll Heather teaches high school English. She holds a master's degree in education and is a National Board Certified Teacher. The story of 'Rip Van Winkle' is one of enchantments and escape. In this lesson, we look at how Washington Irving uses his words and Romantic characteristics to create the story's theme. Rip Van Winkle Like many of Washington Irving's other famous stories, 'Rip Van Winkle' was inspired by German folklore . The general plot of the story, a man who mysteriously sleeps for 20 years to find himself in a changed world, is easy enough even for children to understand, which is probably why its story line has often been adapted in other works and forms of entertainment. Even my personal first encounter with the story was an old Pac Man cartoon version called 'Pac Van Winkle.' And there's a reason this story is still so fun to read. It has all the fixings of a great story: a nagging wife, dogs, guns, ghosts, liquor and of course, long, gray beards. Characters Rip Van Winkle is depicted as a henpecked husband. The story starts before the American Revolution, when King George is ruling the colonies. Right away, Irving explains that Rip is a pretty good man. He is friendly, and people in town tend to like him. If someone needs an extra hand, Rip is always ready to lend one. He is often flocked by children and has a loyal dog companion named Wolf. Rip's problem, we quickly learn, is that he isn't terribly motivated to do much work around his house or even enough to really take care of his family. As a result, his wife Dame Van Winkle, isn't exactly his biggest fan. Here, Irving paints Rip as the henpecked husband, a
Reversed-phase chromatography Reversed-phase chromatography is a technique using alkyl chains covalently bonded to the stationary phase particles in order to create a hydrophobic stationary phase, which has a stronger affinity for hydrophobic or less polar compounds. The use of a hydrophobic stationary phase is essentially the reverse of normal phase chromatography, since the polarity of the mobile and stationary phases have been inverted â€“ hence the term reversed-phase chromatography.[2][3] Reversed-phase chromatography employs a polar (aqueous) mobile phase. As a result, hydrophobic molecules in the polar mobile phase tend to adsorb to the hydrophobic stationary phase, and hydrophilic molecules in the mobile phase will pass through the column and are eluted first.[2][4] Hydrophobic molecules can be eluted from the column by decreasing the polarity of the mobile phase using an organic (non-polar) solvent, which reduces hydrophobic interactions. The more hydrophobic the molecule, the more strongly it will bind to the stationary phase, and the higher the concentration of organic solvent that will be required to elute the molecule.
The Auto-Tune effect spread like a slow burn through the industry, especially within the R&B and dance music communities. T-Pain began Cher-style Auto-Tuning all his vocals, and a decade later, heâs still doing it. âItâs makinâ me money, so I ainât about to stop!â T-Pain told DJ Skee in 2008. Kanye West did an album with it. Lady Gaga uses it.
Bacterial UTI Causes. In most cases, the causes of a UTI involve a type of bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the colon. In many cases, bacteria first travel to the urethra.When bacteria multiply, a UTI can occur. A UTI that is limited to the urethra is called urethritis.acterial UTI Causes. In most cases, the causes of a UTI involve a type of bacteria, Escherichia coli (E. coli), which normally lives in the colon. In many cases, bacteria first travel to the urethra.
Bacteria break down (or decompose) dead organisms, animal waste, and plant litter to obtain nutrients. But microbes don't just eat nature's waste, they recycle it. The process of decomposition releases chemicals (such as carbon, nitrogen, and phosphorus) that can be used to build new plants and animals. That is, chemicals that used to be a flower or a vegetable will eventually become part of another living thing.

In the second decade of the 21st century the Portuguese economy suffered its most severe recession since the 1970s resulting in the country having to be bailed out by the European Commission, European Central Bank and International Monetary Fund. The bailout, agreed to in 2011, required Portugal to enter into a range of austerity measures in exchange for funding support of €78 billion. In May 2014 the country exited the bailout but reaffirmed its commitment to maintaining its reformist momentum. At the time of exiting the bailout the economy had contracted by 0.7% in the first quarter of 2014, however unemployment, while still high had fallen to 15.3 percent.
The frequency of having bowel movements varies based on your age. Now let's take a closer look. Even people who donât go to the bathroom every day are not necessarily constipated. It is normal for adults to have a bowel movement 2-3 times a day or once every three days. If, however, you pass over three days without a movement, the stool may harden and become hard to push out. In rare cases, constipation that is new or worsening may indicate a serious issue like medication toxicity or colorectal cancer.
Voting age When the right to vote was being established in democracies, the voting age was generally set at 21 or higher. In the 1970s many countries reduced the voting age to 18. Debate is ongoing in a number of countries on proposals to reduce the voting age to or below 16.
Marion and Prince Edward Islands Marion and Prince Edward Islands Dec 28, 2003 Author: Terry Hutson The name of Marion Island is familiar to most South Africans, but few are likely to have gone anywhere near the place. From time to time the name appears in the newspapers or on television, usually in connection with a visit to that inhospitable place by the supply vessel SA Agulhas. Sometimes the news is that one of the scientists manning its weather station needs medical care and a navy ship has been despatched to the southern Indian Ocean to perform a rescue. More recently Marion was again in the news with the arrest of a Uruguayan fishing vessel named Viarsa 1. The Spanish-crewed ship had fled the length of the Southern Ocean, hotly pursued (if one can be forgiven for using such an expression about such a cold place) by an Australian sea fishery patrol boat named Southern Supporter. During this weeks-long saga the supply ship SA Agulhas, which was on her way to Marion Island with building material for a new weather station, was brought into the chase. Apart from these isolated reports and stories, the small group of islands that form South Africa�s only dependency remain a mystery to most, with few knowing the history or background of this inhospitable place, or how they came to be a part of South Africa so late in the history of exploration. The Prince Edward Island group consists of Prince Edward and Marion Islands and is South Africa�s only dependency. This in itself is quite remarkable given South Africa�s turbulent history since 1652, which includes having taken part in the invasion of several other countries during the course of two world wars � German South West Africa (now Namibia), German East Africa (now Tanzania), Ethiopia, Madagascar and subsequent to World War II, Angola. The first explorers to see Marion Island were probably the Dutch - there is a record of the ship Maerseveen under the command of Barent Barentszoon Lam, which sailed past the islands in 1663 on the way to the Dutch East Indies. Due to an error in reporting the position of the two islands neither could be found again by subsequent Dutch sailors. Lam was followed more than a hundred years later by the French explorer Marion du Fresne on board his ship Le Mascarin, who called on 13 January 1772. It was in honour of this man that the main island was eventually named. Du Fresne continued with his voyage, discovering the Crozet islands some 500 nautical miles further east before continuing on to his untimely end in New Zealand. Four years after du Fresne came Captain James Cook, who left his indelible mark by naming the group of islands in honour of King George�s fourth son, Prince Edward, but who, like his predecessors, failed to land. The first recorded landing was as late as 1803 when a number of sealers made their way ashore. Here they uncovered evidence that others, most likely other sealers, had indeed been there before, although no written record had been left of their visit. Which is how things remained with both islands remaining uninhabited, apart from occasional visits by sealers or whalers and the odd explorer, until Britain began assuming ownership in 1908 when it granted one of its citizens a 21-year lease to gather guano deposits. The British government later issued licences to the Kerguelen Sealing & Whaling Company to exploit whales, seals, guano and minerals on several Southern Ocean islands from the mid 1920s. The aftermath of World War II was to bring about the end to isolation for the Prince Edward Group of islands, and is said to have come about through a realisation by the major powers that long-range warfare encompassing the entire globe was now a distinct possibility. With the encouragement of the British government, Field Marshall Jan C Smuts, then prime minister of South Africa, commissioned an enquiry that led to a decision to send a South African warship to the islands to annex and take formal occupation of both in the name of South Africa. The ship chosen for this lonely task was the Loch class frigate HMSAS Transv

The National Archives will celebrate the 229th anniversary of the adoption of the Declaration of Independence with its traditional Fourth of July program. The theme of this year's annual program is "Declaration Days: National Archives Family Weekend 4th of July Celebration." The two day-long program will include patriotic music, a dramatic reading of the Declaration of Independence by Operation Iraqi Freedom wounded veterans from Walter Reed Army Medical Center, and exciting free family activities and entertainment for all ages. History lovers young and old can view the newly-restored Declaration of Independence, and speak with actors playing those who signed this important document! All programs are free, open to the public, and take place at the National Archives Building on Constitution Avenue between 7th and 9th Streets, NW. The Declaration of Independence set the course for our nation on a journey of freedom, which also led this historic document on its own journey. For example, did you know.: Who Authored the Declaration of Independence? Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence, which was then edited by John Adams and Benjamin Franklin. Jefferson took their edits and incorporated them into what would become the version finally adopted. Independence Day Should Have Been July 2 July 2, 1776 is the day that the Continental Congress actually voted for independence. John Adams, in his writings, even noted that July 2 would be remembered in the annals of American history and would be marked with fireworks and celebrations. The written Declaration of Independence was dated July 4 but wasn't actually signed until August 2. Fifty-six delegates eventually signed the document, although all were not present on that day in August. Who Signed and In What Order? John Hancock signed first, with a large hand right in the middle because he was the President of the Congress. The others signed by state delegation, beginning in the upper right in one column, and then proceeding in five other columns, arranged from the northernmost state (New Hampshire) to the southernmost (Georgia). Who Signed Last? It is believed Thomas McKean of Delaware was the last person to sign. When Congress authorized the printing of an official copy with the names attached in January 1777, McKean's name was not included. He signed after that date, or the printer made a mistake by omitting him. On The Road Again The Declaration of Independence spent many years on the road. After the signing ceremony on August 2, it was most likely filed in Philadelphia. On December 12, threatened by the British, Congress adjourned and reconvened 8 days later in Baltimore, MD, where the document remained until its return to Philadelphia in March of 1777. In the years to follow, it traveled widely with the Continental Congress throughout the Northeast, then moving to Washington, DC in 1800. In 1814, again threatened by war, it was moved to an unused gristmill in Virginia for protection. On August 24, as the British burned the White House, it was moved to Leesburg, VA until September, when it returned to the nation's capital. With the exception of a trip to Philadelphia for the Centennial and to Fort Knox during World War II, it has remained there ever since. If By Land or By Sea The document has also experienced many modes of travel. Initially, like other parchment documents of the time, the Declaration was probably stored in a rolled format. Each time the document was used, it would have been unrolled and re-rolled. It likely traveled by light wagon and by horseback with the Continental Congress it

BBC ON THIS DAY \| 12 \| 1964: Great Train Robber escapes from jail About This Site \| Text Only 1964: Great Train Robber escapes from jail A massive manhunt is underway across Britain after one of the so-called Great Train Robbers escaped from Winson Green Prison in Birmingham. Charlie Wilson, 32, was apparently freed by a gang of three men who broke into the jail in the early hours of the morning. They are believed to have stolen a ladder from a nearby builders' yard to break into the grounds of a mental hospital next to the prison, and then used a rope ladder to scale the 20ft (6.1 metre) high prison wall. This is so abnormal that you just cannot cater for it. F. Castell, Prison Officers' Association They coshed one of the two patrolling warders on duty and tied him up before opening Wilson's cell door and freeing him. It is still not known how they got hold of the keys to Wilson's cell. Winson Green is a maximum security prison, and only one member of staff holds the keys to open cells at night. At a news conference, the secretary of the Prison Officers' Association, F. Castell, said security arrangements at the prison should be enough to meet all normal requirements. "But," he said, "today's happenings are abnormal. It seems likely that somehow or other a master key has been obtained which allowed these people to effect a simple entry to the prison after scaling the wall. "This is so abnormal that you just cannot cater for it." The Home Secretary, Henry Brooke, was on an official trip to the Channel Islands, but returned to London immediately. He said he was "seriously concerned" by the escape, and ordered an inquiry to begin straight away. Wilson is described as one of the masterminds behind the robbery last year. In the biggest heist of its kind, over �2.5m was stolen from a Royal Mail train. Most of the money has never been recovered, and Wilson is believed to be the robber who knows where the missing money stolen in the raid is hidden. He is reported to have told the police who arrested him two weeks after the robbery: "I don't see how you can make it stick without the poppy [money], and you won't find that." He served just four months of his 30-year jail sentence before his escape.
The rule of the Jagiellonian dynasty in Poland between 1386 and 1572 spans the late Middle Ages and early Modern Era in European history. The dynasty was founded by the Lithuanian Grand Duke Jogaila (Władysław II Jagiełło), whose marriage to Queen Jadwiga of Poland formed a Polish–Lithuanian union. The partnership brought vast territories controlled by the Grand Duchy of Lithuania into Poland's sphere of influence and proved beneficial for both the Polish and Lithuanian people, who coexisted and cooperated in one of the largest political entities in Europe for the next four centuries.
If a tuberculosis infection does become active, it most commonly involves the lungs (in about 90% of cases). Symptoms may include chest pain and a prolonged cough producing sputum. About 25% of people may not have any symptoms (i.e. they remain "asymptomatic"). Occasionally, people may cough up blood in small amounts, and in very rare cases, the infection may erode into the pulmonary artery or a Rasmussen's aneurysm, resulting in massive bleeding. Tuberculosis may become a chronic illness and cause extensive scarring in the upper lobes of the lungs. The upper lung lobes are more frequently affected by tuberculosis than the lower ones. The reason for this difference is not clear. It may be due either to better air flow, or to poor lymph drainage within the upper lungs.

Good for some, bad for others. Good for the consumer (like said above) cheaper gas ect. Bad for people working in the oilfield, this usually means lay offs since the oil / gas companies are not making money like they used to - less drilling / frac / oilfield construction to spend the money on.
Atlantic Ocean The oldest known mentions of an "Atlantic" sea come from Stesichorus around mid-sixth century BC (Sch. A. R. 1. 211):[6] Atlantikoi pelágei (Greek: Ἀτλαντικῷ πελάγει; English: 'the Atlantic sea'; etym. 'Sea of Atlantis') and in The Histories of Herodotus around 450 BC (Hdt. 1.202.4): Atlantis thalassa (Greek: Ἀτλαντὶς θάλασσα; English: 'Sea of Atlantis' or 'the Atlantis sea'[7]) where the name refers to "the sea beyond the pillars of Heracles" which is said to be part of the ocean that surrounds all land.[8] Thus, on one hand, the name refers to Atlas, the Titan in Greek mythology, who supported the heavens and who later appeared as a frontispiece in Medieval maps and also lent his name to modern atlases.[9] On the other hand, to early Greek sailors and in Ancient Greek mythological literature such as the Iliad and the Odyssey, this all-encompassing ocean was instead known as Oceanus, the gigantic river that encircled the world; in contrast to the enclosed seas well-known to the Greeks: the Mediterranean and the Black Sea.[10] In contrast, the term "Atlantic" originally referred specifically to the Atlas Mountains in Morocco and the sea off the Strait of Gibraltar and the North African coast.[9] The Greek word thalassa has been reused by scientists for the huge Panthalassa ocean that surrounded the supercontinent Pangaea hundreds of million years ago.

Hyrule \| Zeldapedia \| Fandom powered by Wikia Main article: Great Flood When no hero appeared to save them, the Hylians appealed to the Goddesses Several centuries after the events of Ocarina of Time in the Adult Timeline, the seal on the Sacred Realm weakened and Ganon escaped his imprisonment. Although the citizens of Hyrule prayed to the three Golden Goddesses for the Hero of Time to save them, he did not appear and Ganon resumed control. The people of Hyrule were left with no choice but to appeal to the Goddesses, who flooded Hyrule in an attempt to stop Ganondorf. The surviving population evacuated to the highest grounds of Hyrule, which became the islands of the Great Sea . Using the Master Sword , a seal was then put on Hyrule Castle, keeping it intact inside a giant bubble beneath the Great Sea, while keeping Ganondorf's powers and his minions dormant. While keeping Ganondorf inside of Hyrule, the seal also kept anything else out, as Hyrule cannot be accessed simply by diving beneath the Great Sea. It instead requires special entry, either by means of ringing the bell atop the Tower of the Gods , a portal, or by holding a shard of the Triforce. At the end of the events of The Wind Waker, Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule uses the power of the Triforce to wash away the remains of the sunken Hyrule and Ganondorf with it, resulting in the final destruction of Hyrule. With his dying breath, he instructs Link and Princess Zelda to find new land, not to be the old Hyrule, but a new land of their own . Demographics Government Hyrule is for the most part ruled by the Royal Family of Hyrule, and in most games, Hyrule is ruled by a king. A prevalence in the series is that the monarch of Hyrule in one specific game is usually an unseen character who does not appear physically in the games; however, there are exceptions to this. In Twilight Princess, Princess Zelda is the ruler of Hyrule, as evidenced in several cut-scenes, though Midna still refers to her as a princess. In The Wind Waker, the King of Hyrule is Daphnes Nohansen Hyrule , known better as the King of Red Lions . Economy The economy of Hyrule has varied throughout installments, although it seems a likelihood that Hyrule's economical value stems from trade and commerce. In Twilight Princess, for example, shops can be found in Hyrule Castle Town among other places, where Link can purchase a variety of goods for a price. As Hyrule Castle Town is the capital of Hyrule in Twilight Princess, it seems obvious that businesses would base their central shops in Hyrule Castle Town, as evidenced by Malo and his ambition to expand his Malo Mart chain of low-priced goods, obviously making Castle Town a priority. Independent small businesses like Sera's Sundries in Ordon Village can be found in across Hyrule, however their prices can range owing to their isolation from other large enterprises. Though the enterprising Business Scrubs do not appear in towns, they can be found in Kokiri Forest , the Lost Woods , and various Hidden Holes throughout Hyrule and in Minish Cap it is explained that Business Scrubs sometimes spit nuts when they talk, indicating that their attack in some games maybe unintentional. After being defeated, they become more than willing to sell their wares in exchange for Rupees. Mini-games are another curious economical stimulation; the money gained from them seems mostly personal, as mini-game operators seem to base their businesses solely off of their own funds, rather than owning several locations. The Hyrule Castle Town Shooting Gallery from Ocarina of Time, for example, can be found in Hyrule Castle Town, but after Ganondorf's destruction of Hyrule Castle Town, it relocates to Kakariko Village under the new name of the Kakariko Village Shooting Gallery . Currency Main article: Rupee Artwork of Rupees from A Link to the Past Rupees are the unit of currency in most regions of Hyrule, as well as other outlying countries. Rupees somewhat resemble crystals and can be found with many different color tints; each with a different value, though the value varies from game-

Henry Kenneth Alfred `` Ken '' Russell -LRB- 3 July 1927 -- 27 November 2011 -RRB- was an English film director , known for his pioneering work in television and film and for his flamboyant and controversial style . Critics have accused him of being obsessed with sexuality and the Roman Catholic Church .

Film critic Mark Kermode , speaking in 2006 , and attempting to sum up the director 's achievement , called Russell , `` somebody who proved that British cinema did n't have to be about kitchen-sink realism -- it could be every bit as flamboyant as Fellini . Later in his life he turned to making low-budget experimental films such as Lion 's Mouth and Revenge of the Elephant Man , and they are as edgy and ` out there ' as ever '' . Ken Russell died of natural causes on 27 November 2011 at the age of 84 .

The Beach Boys are an American rock band formed in Hawthorne , California , in 1961 . The group 's original lineup consisted of brothers Brian , Dennis , and Carl Wilson ; their cousin Mike Love ; and their friend Al Jardine . Distinguished by their vocal harmonies and early surf songs , they are one of the most influential acts of the rock era . The group , led by their principal songwriter and producer Brian , pioneered novel approaches to popular music form and production , combining their affinities for jazz-based vocal groups , 1950s rock and roll , and black R&B to create their unique sound . He later arranged his compositions for studio orchestras and explored a variety of other styles , often incorporating classical or jazz elements and unconventional recording techniques in innovative ways . The Beach Boys began as a garage band managed by the Wilsons ' father Murry , with Brian 's increasingly sophisticated songwriting and recording abilities dominating their creative direction . Emerging at the vanguard of the `` California Sound '' , they performed original material that reflected a southern California youth culture of surfing , cars , and romance . After 1964 , they abandoned the surfing aesthetic for more personal lyrics and multi-layered sounds . In 1966 , the Pet Sounds album and `` Good Vibrations '' single vaulted the group to the top level of rock innovators and established the band as symbols of the nascent counterculture era . Following the dissolution of the group 's Smile project in 1967 , Brian gradually ceded production and songwriting duties to the rest of the band , reducing his input because of mental health and substance abuse issues . The group 's public image subsequently faltered , and despite efforts to continue their psychedelic/avant-garde ventures and reclaim their hippie audiences , they were dismissed as an embodiment of the values and outlooks shared by early 1960s white , suburban teenagers . The continued success of their greatest hits albums during the mid 1970s precipitated the band 's transition into an oldies act , a move that was denigrated by critics and many fans . Since the 1980s , much-publicized legal wrangling over royalties , songwriting credits and use of the band 's name transpired . Dennis drowned in 1983 and Carl died of lung cancer in 1998 . After Carl 's death , many live configurations of the band fronted by Mike Love and Bruce Johnston continued to tour into the 2000s while other members pursued solo projects . Even though Wilson and Jardine have not performed with Love and Johnston 's band since their one-off 2012 reunion tour , they remain a part of the Beach Boys ' corporation , Brother Records Inc. . The Beach Boys are one of the most critically acclaimed , commercially successful , and widely influential bands of all time . The group had over eighty songs chart worldwide , thirty-six of them US Top 40 hits -LRB- the most by an American rock band -RRB- , four reaching number-one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart . The Beach Boys have sold in excess of 100 million records worldwide , making them one of the world 's best-selling bands of all time and are listed at No. 12 on Rolling Stone magazine 's 2004 list of the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' . The core quintet of the three Wilsons , Love and Jardine were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 .
Spanish was the language spoken by the first permanent European settlers in North America. Spanish arrived in the territory of the modern United States with Ponce de León in 1513.

In the 13th century mendicant orders—the Franciscans and the Dominicans—who swore vows of poverty and earned their living by begging, were approved by the papacy. Religious groups such as the Waldensians and the Humiliati also attempted to return to the life of early Christianity in the middle 12th and early 13th centuries, but they were condemned as heretical by the papacy. Others joined the Cathars, another heretical movement condemned by the papacy. In 1209, a crusade was preached against the Cathars, the Albigensian Crusade, which in combination with the medieval Inquisition, eliminated them.

The United States joined World War II in December 1941 after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. On the European front, U.S. Army troops formed a significant portion of the forces that captured North Africa and Sicily, and later fought in Italy. On D-Day, June 6, 1944, and in the subsequent liberation of Europe and defeat of Nazi Germany, millions of U.S. Army troops played a central role. In the Pacific War, U.S. Army soldiers participated alongside the United States Marine Corps in capturing the Pacific Islands from Japanese control. Following the Axis surrenders in May (Germany) and August (Japan) of 1945, army troops were deployed to Japan and Germany to occupy the two defeated nations. Two years after World War II, the Army Air Forces separated from the army to become the United States Air Force in September 1947 after decades of attempting to separate. Also, in 1948, the army was desegregated by order of President Harry S. Truman.
However, according to research firm NPD, sales of devices running Windows in the United States have declined 21 percent compared to the same time period in 2011. As the holiday shopping season wrapped up, Windows 8 sales continued to lag, even as Apple reported brisk sales. The market research firm IDC reported an overall drop in PC sales for the quarter, and said the drop may have been partly due to consumer reluctance to embrace the new features of the OS and poor support from OEM for these features. This capped the first year of declining PC sales to the Asia Pacific region, as consumers bought more mobile devices than Windows PCs.
Corn flakes There have been many mascots of Kellogg's Cornflakes. The most popular one is a green rooster named Cornelius "Corny" Rooster, which has been the mascot since his debut. In early commercials, he would speak the catch phrase "Wake up, up, up to Kellogg's Cornflakes!" Dallas McKennon and Andy Devine voiced him. Later, he stopped talking and simply crowed.[citation needed] The concept of using a stylized cockerel originated from a suggestion by family friend Nansi Richards, a harpist from Wales and a Welsh language proponent. The Welsh word for cockerel is ceiliog (pronounced keyeleeog or in some dialects keelog).[10][11]

Vaudeville and Burlesque Lingo Find an error? Please report it to me. Here's an EMAIL LINK First, a little history Many sources say that no one knows how the name "vaudeville" originated. That's not true - the word was used as early as the 16th Century to describe popular songs performed to satirize the events of the day. In France in the 1400s, music was evolving and its forms were being codified. Around that time, the town of Vire (the capital of Calvados, in Normandy) became known as a rich source of popular drinking songs and songs with barbed satire and topical humor. Eventually any such song was referred to as "un chanson du Vau de Vire," or "a song of the valley of Vire." The clipped form "vaudevire" was in common use by 1500. As this word became part of the vocabulary, it was conflated with the name of another style of song, "voix de ville," or "voice of the city" (in the dual senses of "urban sophistication" and "talk of the town"), which referred to songs of courtly love. In 1573 a collection of these songs appeared called Premier livre de chansons en forme de vau de ville. By 1600 the combined form "vaudeville" was understood all over France to mean "a light, entertaining song, a ditty." During the late 1600s and early 1700s, "comï¿½dies-vaudeville", shows which set new lyrics to the old familiar vaudeville tunes, became popular. The word "vaudeville" first appeared in English in a 1611 dictionary defining it as "a country ballade, or song." In a 1739 letter Horace Walpole referred to "the vaudevilles or ballads which they sing at the comedy after their 'petites piï¿½ces'." The Thï¿½ï¿½tre de Vaudeville opened in Paris in 1792, and the word vaudeville gradually came to refer to the shows themselves rather than to the songs in the shows. English music halls began calling their light, popular variety shows "vaudeville," using the word in the sense we know today. MODERN VAUDEVILLE'S PARENT, THE MINSTREL SHOW Variety entertainment has always flourished wherever the common people gather, from storytellers and musicians around Neanderthal firesides, to Medieval fairs, to today. In the mid-19th Century, "ï¿½entertainment in New York City was divided along class lines: opera was chiefly for the upper middle and upper classes, minstrel shows and melodramas for the middle class, variety shows in concert saloons for men of the working class and the slumming middle class." (Robert W. Snyder in The Encyclopedia of New York City) Saloons offered variety entertainment of the coarsest sort, including "waiter girls" who would sit with patrons cadging overpriced watered drinks (on which they earned a commission) or retiring to curtained alcoves to sell their sexual services. Then, in 1828, white entertainer Thomas D. Rice caught the popular imagination with his trademark black character called "Jim Crow," introduced by a song-and-dance routine with the same name. "First on de heel tap, Den on de toe, Eb'ry time I weel about, I jump Jim Crow. Weel about and turn about and do jis' so, Eb'ry time I weel about, I jump Jim Crow". 'Coon' or 'black crow' characters were common in that era, but Rice enjoyed such a degree of popularity that his act spawned imitators. In 1843, four unemployed white actors staged a spoof, in blackface dialect humor, of a popular Austrian touring act called the Tyrolese Minstrel Family. The lampoon act, called "Dan Emmett's Virginia Minstrels," was a surprise hit, and copycat "minstrel shows" quickly became America's most popular stage entertainment. These music and comedy revues featured large bands of white performers in blackface makeup, pretending to be happy slaves celebrating after-hours on the old plantation, broadly aping the manners of their "betters." The conventions of the minstrel show were profoundly racist, and seem unmistakably crude and vicious to modern sensibilities. It would be easy to conclude that there was no more to say about it, but we

Elizabeth I -LRB- 7 September 1533 -- 24 March 1603 -RRB- was Queen of England and Ireland from 17 November 1558 until her death . Sometimes called The Virgin Queen , Gloriana or Good Queen Bess , the childless Elizabeth was the last monarch of the Tudor dynasty . Elizabeth was the daughter of Henry VIII and Anne Boleyn , his second wife , who was executed two-and-a-half years after Elizabeth 's birth . Anne 's marriage to Henry VIII was annulled , and Elizabeth was declared illegitimate . Her half-brother , Edward VI , ruled until his death in 1553 , bequeathing the crown to Lady Jane Grey and ignoring the claims of his two half-sisters , Elizabeth and the Roman Catholic Mary , in spite of statute law to the contrary . Edward 's will was set aside and Mary became queen , deposing Lady Jane Grey . During Mary 's reign , Elizabeth was imprisoned for nearly a year on suspicion of supporting Protestant rebels . In 1558 , Elizabeth succeeded her half-sister to the throne and set out to rule by good counsel . She depended heavily on a group of trusted advisers , led by William Cecil , 1st Baron Burghley . One of her first actions as queen was the establishment of an English Protestant church , of which she became the Supreme Governor . This Elizabethan Religious Settlement was to evolve into the Church of England . It was expected that Elizabeth would marry and produce an heir to continue the Tudor line . She never did , despite numerous courtships . As she grew older , Elizabeth became famous for her virginity . A cult grew around her which was celebrated in the portraits , pageants , and literature of the day . In government , Elizabeth was more moderate than her father and half-siblings had been . One of her mottoes was `` video et taceo '' -LRB- `` I see but say nothing '' -RRB- . In religion , she was relatively tolerant and avoided systematic persecution . After the pope declared her illegitimate in 1570 and released her subjects from obedience to her , several conspiracies threatened her life , all of which were defeated with the help of her ministers ' secret service . Elizabeth was cautious in foreign affairs , manoeuvring between the major powers of France and Spain . She only half-heartedly supported a number of ineffective , poorly resourced military campaigns in the Netherlands , France , and Ireland . By the mid-1580s , England could no longer avoid war with Spain . England 's defeat of the Spanish Armada in 1588 associated Elizabeth with one of the greatest military victories in English history . Elizabeth 's reign is known as the Elizabethan era . The period is famous for the flourishing of English drama , led by playwrights such as William Shakespeare and Christopher Marlowe , and for the seafaring prowess of English adventurers such as Francis Drake . Some historians depict Elizabeth as a short-tempered , sometimes indecisive ruler , who enjoyed more than her share of luck . Towards the end of her reign , a series of economic and military problems weakened her popularity . Elizabeth is acknowledged as a charismatic performer and a dogged survivor in an era when government was ramshackle and limited , and when monarchs in neighbouring countries faced internal problems that jeopardised their thrones . Such was the case with Elizabeth 's rival , Mary , Queen of Scots , whom she imprisoned in 1568 and had executed in 1587 . After the short reigns of Elizabeth 's half-siblings , her 44 years on the throne provided welcome stability for the kingdom and helped forge a sense of national identity .
Double (basketball) A triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in three of the five categories in a game.
