The Plantagenets - Timeline of the Kings and Queens of England British life and culture - England, Scotland and Wales Timeline of the Kings and Queens of England   The Plantagenets 1154 - 1399 The Plantagenets were a huge powerful family not just in England but throughout Europe. The first Plantagenet was King Henry 2nd whose father owned vast lands in Anjou an area as big as Normandy around the modern town of Tours. Henry’s wife Eleanor ruled the even larger territory to the south called Aquitaine. Plantagenet Kings were thus the richest family in Europe and ruled England and half of France. Their name came from planta genista, the Latin for yellow broom flower, which the Counts of Anjou wore as an emblem on their helmets. This dynasty is normally subdivided into three parts. 1154-1216 - The first Plantagenet kings were the Angevins 1216-1399 - The Plantagenets 1399-1485 - The Houses of Lancaster and of York . Normally separated from main stream Plantagenets because they are considered the first truly English rather than French Kings. Altogether the House of Plantagents ruled for 331 years (includes The Houses of Lancaster and of York ). Angevins King Henry II 1154 - 1189 King Richard I the Lionheart 1189 - 1199 King John 1 1199 - 1216 Angevins King Henry II 1154 - 1189 Henry II, the first 'Plantagenet' king, accedes to the throne. He was not only king of England, but also ruled over most of Wales, Normandy, Anjou, Gascony and other parts of France (acquired through his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine). Age 21-56 Born: 5 March 1133 at Le Mans, France Parents: Geoffrey, Count of Anjou, and Empress Matilda Ascended to the throne: 25 October 1154 aged 21 years Crowned: 19 December 1154 at Westminster Abbey Married: Eleanor of Aquitaine, Daughter of William X, Duke of Aquitaine Children: Five sons including Richard I and John, three daughters and several illegitimate children Died: 6 July 1189 at Chinon Castle, Anjou, France aged 56 years Buried at: Fontevraud, France Succeeded by: his son Richard Came to the throne at just 21. He ruled for thirty-four years, but spent only fourteen of them in England. Henry owed his Kingship of England to his Norman mother Matilda, daughter of Henry 1st and his vast lands to his father Count of Anjou and his wife Eleanor, Duchess of Aquitaine and Countess of Poitou. Thomas Becket was Henry II's Chancellor before the king made him Archbishop of Canterbury, even though he had never been a priest. Henry is mostly remembered for his quarrel with Thomas Becket, and Becket's subsequent murder in Canterbury Cathedral on 29th December 1170. Becket was slaughtered in the cathedral by four knights acting on the rash words of the king, who is said to have proclaimed in a fit of temper: "Will no one rid me of this turbulent priest?" Henry was devastated and ordered himself to be lashed hundreds of times as penance.  Henry spent at least £6,440 throughout the 1180s – more than a quarter of his average annual income – building and furnishing the impressive keep at Dover Castle in Kent. The great tower is thought to have been constructed as a show of wealth and power to 'impress' foreign pilgrims and dignitaries on their way to the shrine of Thomas Becket. Henry's eldest son, also called Henry, died before his father so in 1189 his second son, Richard, succeeded to the throne. Henry introduced trial by Jury for the first time. He also set up civil courts in each county shire. Henry brought the church under the rules of the civil courts. (His arguments with Beckett.) Prior to this, backed by the Pope, the Church was literally getting away with murder. Henry introduced the law that no man can be tried for the same offence twice. King Richard I the Lionheart 1189 - 1199 Richard was later nicknamed 'Lionheart' for his bravery in battle. The crusades and the state of his French territories preoccupied Richard, such that he spent less than a year of his 10-year reign in England. Age 31 - 42 Born: 6 September 1157 at Beaumont Place, Oxford Parents: Henry II and Eleano

Muslims believe the Quran was verbally revealed by God to Muhammad through the angel Gabriel (Jibril), gradually over a period of approximately 23 years, beginning on 22 December 609 CE, when Muhammad was 40, and concluding in 632, the year of his death. Muslims regard the Quran as the most important miracle of Muhammad, a proof of his prophethood, and the culmination of a series of divine messages that started with the messages revealed to Adam and ended with Muhammad. The word "Quran" occurs some 70 times in the text of the Quran, although different names and words are also said to be references to the Quran.
John Locke in particular exemplified this new age of political theory with his work Two Treatises of Government. In it Locke proposes a state of nature theory that directly complements his conception of how political development occurs and how it can be founded through contractual obligation. Locke stood to refute Sir Robert Filmer's paternally founded political theory in favor of a natural system based on nature in a particular given system. The theory of the divine right of kings became a passing fancy, exposed to the type of ridicule with which John Locke treated it. Unlike Machiavelli and Hobbes but like Aquinas, Locke would accept Aristotle's dictum that man seeks to be happy in a state of social harmony as a social animal. Unlike Aquinas's preponderant view on the salvation of the soul from original sin, Locke believes man's mind comes into this world as tabula rasa. For Locke, knowledge is neither innate, revealed nor based on authority but subject to uncertainty tempered by reason, tolerance and moderation. According to Locke, an absolute ruler as proposed by Hobbes is unnecessary, for natural law is based on reason and seeking peace and survival for man.
A number of technologies allow asphalt/bitumen to be mixed at much lower temperatures. These involve mixing with petroleum solvents to form "cutbacks" with reduced melting point, or mixtures with water to turn the asphalt/bitumen into an emulsion. Asphalt emulsions contain up to 70% asphalt/bitumen and typically less than 1.5% chemical additives. There are two main types of emulsions with different affinity for aggregates, cationic and anionic. Asphalt emulsions are used in a wide variety of applications. Chipseal involves spraying the road surface with asphalt emulsion followed by a layer of crushed rock, gravel or crushed slag. Slurry seal involves the creation of a mixture of asphalt emulsion and fine crushed aggregate that is spread on the surface of a road. Cold-mixed asphalt can also be made from asphalt emulsion to create pavements similar to hot-mixed asphalt, several inches in depth and asphalt emulsions are also blended into recycled hot-mix asphalt to create low-cost pavements.

Star Profile | Comet Over Hollywood | Page 2 Comet Over Hollywood Home for classic movie lovers Search Publicity photo of Guy Lombardo in the 1940s. “Auld Lang Syne” was his theme song. They called him Mr. New Year’s Eve, and he was part of America’s New Year’s tradition for nearly 50 years. Before Dick Clark and Ryan Seacrest counted down to 12 a.m., January 1, there was Guy Lombardo. Each year, his saxophones would poignantly play “Auld Land Syne” as couples danced, kissed and wished “Happy New Year.” From the crash of the stock market in 1929 through the bicentennial in 1976, big bandleader Lombardo and his Royal Canadians were a long standing tradition for Americans. Like this: Like Loading... Image To go along with some monthly health observances, Comet Over Hollywood is recognizing actors who battled diseases and often, kept it a secret from their public and exhibited strength by continuing to practice their craft. Others helped create awareness or spearheaded organizations for research, such as Yul Brynner . For October 2015’s Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Comet is recognizing actresses who were diagnosed with breast cancer. Today, breast cancer survivors are proud and openly share their stories. Some wear pink t-shirts saying they are a survivor, write memoirs or are interviewed by the news to help spread awareness to other women to pay attention to their bodies. But for actresses of the Golden Era, this wasn’t the case. Many of their obituaries simply note they had endured a “long illness.” Newspapers said Judy Holliday was in the hospital for a bronchial illness and one obituary for Rosalind Russell said she died from stomach cancer. This was largely because of the stigma that surrounded this particular form of cancer. In the 1950s, the New York Times refused an advertisement for a breast cancer support group, saying they wouldn’t publish the word “breast” or “cancer.” Because of this, during my research I had some troubles finding reliable sources to confirm that some of these women had cancer at all. It took the help of some of these actresses who were diagnosed with breast cancer to help get rid of the stigma by publicly speaking about their illnesses. One of the first celebrities to open up about having breast cancer was former child star Shirley Temple. She wanted to empower women to be involved in their medical decisions and held a press conference from her hospital bed in 1972 while recovering from a lumpectomy. “It is my fervent hope that women will not be afraid to go to their doctors for diagnosis when they have unusual symptoms,” Shirley Temple Black said during a press conference in November 1972. “There is almost certain recovery from this form of cancer if it is caught early enough.” Actresses who had breast cancer: Brigitte Bardot- The French “sex kitten actress” who made waves with “…And God Created Woman” (1956) was diagnosed in her early 50s. A   Jan. 1985 Los Angeles Times  article says that Bardot underwent surgery for breast cancer in France. The article says Bardot was going to receive radiation treatment after the surgery. Bardot is now a 30 year cancer survivor. Ingrid Bergman– The Swedish-born Academy Award winning actress spent the last several years of her life with breast cancer. The illness is what caused her death at age 67 in 1982. The “Casablanca” actress was diagnosed in 1973, according to  Biography . ”Cancer victims who don’t accept their fate, who don’t learn to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left,” Bergman is quoted in her obituary. Bergman’s  New York Times obituary  only says that she had cancer. “Mama suffered from breast cancer for nine years and the last three years, when my brother and sisters took turns to be with her in London, were very difficult,” said her daughter  Isabella Rossellini in an Aug. 2015 interview  which celebrated Bergman’s 100th birthday. “The cancer had spread to her lymph nodes, she had an enormous [tumour on her] right arm and was very depressed with the fear of being unable to act.” Diahann Carroll- The “Julia” actre
The United States Mint produces Proof Sets specifically for collectors and speculators. Silver Proofs tend to be the standard designs but with the dime, quarter, and half dollar containing 90% silver. Starting in 1983 and ending in 1997, the Mint also produced proof sets containing the year's commemorative coins alongside the regular coins. Another type of proof set is the Presidential Dollar Proof Set where four special $1 coins are minted each year featuring a president. Because of budget constraints and increasing stockpiles of these relatively unpopular coins, the production of new Presidential dollar coins for circulation was suspended on December 13, 2011, by U.S. Treasury Secretary Timothy F. Geithner. Future minting of such coins will be made solely for collectors.
Cassandra Nova is a fictional supervillain appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics, most commonly in association with the X-Men. Created by writer Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely, Cassandra first appeared in "New X-Men" #114 (July 2001). Cassandra is a "mummudrai," a parasitic life form born bodiless on the astral plane. The mummudrai that became Cassandra became telepathically entangled with the future Charles Xavier, who possesses vast mutant telepathic powers. This granted Cassandra some psionic powers herself, including the ability to exit the womb and create a body.
Miami has a tropical monsoon climate (Köppen climate classification Am) with hot and humid summers and short, warm winters, with a marked drier season in the winter. Its sea-level elevation, coastal location, position just above the Tropic of Cancer, and proximity to the Gulf Stream shapes its climate. With January averaging 67.2 °F (19.6 °C), winter features mild to warm temperatures; cool air usually settles after the passage of a cold front, which produces much of the little amount of rainfall during the season. Lows occasionally fall below 50 °F (10 °C), but very rarely below 35 °F (2 °C). Highs generally range between 70–77 °F (21–25 °C).
The Star-Spangled Banner When the National Anthem was first recognized by law in 1932, there was no prescription as to behavior during its playing. On June 22, 1942, the law was revised indicating that those in uniform should salute during its playing, while others should simply stand at attention, men removing their hats. (The same code also required that women should place their hands over their hearts when the flag is displayed during the playing of the Anthem, but not if the flag was not present.) On December 23, 1942 the law was again revised instructing men and women to stand at attention and face in the direction of the music when it was played. That revision also directed men and women to place their hands over their hearts only if the flag was displayed. Those in uniform were required to salute. On July 7, 1976, the law was simplified. Men and women were instructed to stand with their hands over their hearts, men removing their hats, irrespective of whether or not the flag was displayed and those in uniform saluting. On August 12, 1998, the law was rewritten keeping the same instructions, but differentiating between "those in uniform" and "members of the Armed Forces and veterans" who were both instructed to salute during the playing whether or not the flag was displayed. Because of the changes in law over the years and confusion between instructions for the Pledge of Allegence versus the National Anthem, throughout most of the 20th century many people simply stood at attention or with their hands folded in front of them during the playing of the Anthem, and when reciting the Pledge they would hold their hand (or hat) over their heart. After 9/11, the custom of placing the hand over the heart during the playing of the Anthem became nearly universal. [57][58][59]
Won't You Come Home Bill Bailey It was a #1 hit for Arthur Collins in July 1902. Among the artists who have covered the song are Louis Armstrong, Kid Ory, Patsy Cline, Bobby Darin, Aretha Franklin from Take a Look (1967), Brenda Lee, Ella Fitzgerald, Sarah Vaughan, Jimmy Durante, Phish, Danny Barker, Harry Connick Jr, Renee Olstead, Michael Bublé, Sam Cooke, Al Hirt[2] and others. Singer and actress Della Reese recorded the song in 1961, and it entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number #98, and became a part of her performance repertoire. In Britain the Edwardian music hall star Victoria Monks (1884–1927) popularised the song in 1905 and thereafter it became her most demanded and remembered song.

I travelled alone, but with the security of a tour group. On a one week tour, I only 'scratched the surface' of this amazing island, and look forward to returning to see more of both Sabah and Sarawak. A two-week trip is better, but likely three-four weeks would suit me perfectly to see all that Malaysia Borneo has to offer. Can I get a map of Borneo? Guide books have basic maps included, but you can get a map for Sabah -- see Sabah and Kota Kinabalu travel map. Travel money for Borneo Malaysia I took travelers checks / travellers cheques, as well as US dollars in cash, one credit card and one bank debit card. I changed cash and checks at the hotels where I stayed. Bank hours are limited to roughly Monday to Friday from 9-4. Banks and ATMs / ATMs may not be located where you are touring. For local markets, use ringetts. See travel currency tips page for more travel money tips. Make Calls to Borneo (and calls home from Borneo) Use pre-paid, pinless phone cards to make phone calls TO Borneo, or call home FROM Borneo from your hotel, public phones with card facilities, or a Telekom office. If you are traveling with your own cell phone, check with your provider before you travel to make sure it can be used in Borneo, and what the roaming charges are. Internet in Borneo / Sabah / Sarawak The larger hotels have business centers with internet access. In KK (Kota Kinabalu ), the cost was about $4 for 30 minutes; In Sarawak, internet was via satellite, and about $14 for half an hour; in Kinabalu park, it was not available to the guests. What to Pack for a Borneo trip? Borneo is tropical (hot and humid) year round, though rain gear is always a good idea, as is a light jacket for the cooler temperatures at Mt Kinabalu. Dress conservatively (not a lot of bare skin, or short shorts) if you want to fit in and not stand out.

Resort gift shops, shopping malls in KK, and village markets sell T-shirts, sarongs and skirts, so you can always buy lightweight clothing when you are in Borneo.

Is the water safe to drink in Borneo? Use bottled water -- don't drink tap water. Even at the Royal Mulu where they purify water, the resort recommends drinking only bottled water; at both the Nexus in Kota KInabalu and the Mulu in Sarawak, I boiled water for tea in my room (s). But, when you travel, even if the water is potable (safe to drink), it is still different water than you'd drink at home. This different minerals, etc. content may upset your stomach. Travel Health Make sure all your usual vaccinations are current (polio, DPT, etc). Consider Hepatitis A and Hepatitis B shots - ask your doctor. I brought lots of sunscreen and a bottle of insect repellant containing DEET, as well as my usual regimen of travel meds and OTC (over-the counter) medications. If you will be touring caves and are concerned about breathing in bat droppings, etc. then pack some disposable face masks. What shots (vaccinations) do I need for Borneo? Check with your local travel health clinic; Borneo has made a concerted and successful effort over the past decade to curtail the incidence of malaria; I did not take anti malarials, but some travelers prefer to be safe rather than sorry. Discuss this with a travel health doctor and make your own decision. Is it safe to travel to Borneo? Before travel, I always check for current status and travel advisories from a government (official) source. I posted links for Canada, UK, US, Australia government travel info here. Who goes to Borneo, and why? Everyone who appreciates natural wonders -- from divers, birders and gardeners to mountain climbers, hikers and casual holidayers -- Borneo travel appeals to a great many travelers. Most of them were fairly well-traveled; Borneo didn't seem to appeal to a great many first time travelers, except for one young man who had won a trip to Malaysia Borneo and Indonesia. Talking to others at Sepilok, as we waited for the orangutans to come out, was a lively exchange of details of prior trips to South America, Vietnam, Thailand, and Australia.

The Abbot of Monte Cassino, Desiderius sent envoys to Constantinople some time after 1066 to hire expert Byzantine mosaicists for the decoration of the rebuilt abbey church. According to chronicler Leo of Ostia the Greek artists decorated the apse, the arch and the vestibule of the basilica. Their work was admired by contemporaries but was totally destroyed in later centuries except two fragments depicting greyhounds (now in the Monte Cassino Museum). "The abbot in his wisdom decided that great number of young monks in the monastery should be thoroughly initiated in these arts" – says the chronicler about the role of the Greeks in the revival of mosaic art in medieval Italy.

CIUDAD HIDALGO, Mexico — Hundreds of Central American migrants crossed the Guatemala-Mexico border at dawn Thursday without resistance and began walking up a rural highway. Some carried banners arguing that migrants were not the problem, but rather the result of poor governing. It was a resurgence of a migrant caravan that had been diminishing since its last concerted attempt to cross the border Monday was turned back by Mexican National Guardsmen posted along Suchiate river, which forms the border here. Mexico began flying and busing members of the caravan back to Honduras on Tuesday. Seven more buses left Mexico for Honduras on Wednesday, carrying 240 migrants back home, and two flights left with an additional 220 Hondurans, Mexico’s National Immigration Institute said. By Wednesday, the number of people outside the Casa del Migrante in Tecun Uman was perhaps half of what it was at its peak Sunday night. In previous caravans, Mexican authorities have allowed caravans to walk for awhile, seemingly to tire them out, and then closed their path. The Associated Press
When Link enters the Twilight Realm, the void that corrupts parts of Hyrule, he transforms into a wolf.[h] He is eventually able to transform between his Hylian and wolf forms at will. As a wolf, Link loses the ability to use his sword, shield, or any secondary items; he instead attacks by biting, and defends primarily by dodging attacks. However, "Wolf Link" gains several key advantages in return—he moves faster than he does as a human (though riding Epona is still faster) and digs holes to create new passages and uncover buried items, and has improved senses, including the ability to follow scent trails.[i] He also carries Midna, a small imp-like creature who gives him hints, uses an energy field to attack enemies, helps him jump long distances, and eventually allows Link to "warp" to any of several preset locations throughout the overworld.[j] Using Link's wolf senses, the player can see and listen to the wandering spirits of those affected by the Twilight, as well as hunt for enemy ghosts named Poes.[k]
Federal government of the United States The Federal Government of the United States (U.S. Federal Government)[a] is the national government of the United States, a federal republic in North America, composed of 50 states, a federal district, five major self-governing territories, and several island possessions. The federal government is composed of three distinct branches: legislative, executive, and judicial, whose powers are vested by the U.S. Constitution in the Congress, the President, and the federal courts, respectively. The powers and duties of these branches are further defined by acts of congress, including the creation of executive departments and courts inferior to the Supreme Court.
During the second half of the 19th century the bourgeoisie encouraged the development of the city and its environs; land-owners were enriched by the introduction of the orange crop and the expansion of vineyards and other crops,. This economic boom corresponded with a revival of local traditions and of the Valencian language, which had been ruthlessly suppressed from the time of Philip V. Around 1870, the Valencian Renaissance, a movement committed to the revival of the Valencian language and traditions, began to gain ascendancy. In its early stages the movement inclined to the romanticism of the poet Teodor Llorente, and resisted the more assertive remonstrances of Constantine Llombart, founder of the still extant cultural society, Lo Rat Penat, which is dedicated to the promotion and dissemination of the Valencian language and culture.
Several common infections can be treated with minocycline. Uses for this antibiotic include the treatment of bacterial infections, moderate to severe acne, and anthrax infections. Because permanent discoloration and altered development of teeth have been reported in young children, minocycline should not be used in children under the age of 8.
Revisiting Lawrence Durrell’s The Alexandria Quartet --- Paul M. Curtis | Numéro Cinq Image via Wikipedia . At the time when we knew [Pursewarden] he was reading hardly anything but science.  This for some reason annoyed Justine who took him to task for wasting his time in these studies.  He defended himself by saying that the Relativity proposition was directly responsible for abstract painting, atonal music, and formless (or at any rate cyclic forms in) literature.  Once it was grasped they were understood, too.  He added: “In the Space and Time marriage we have the greatest Boy meets Girl story of the age.”  (B, 142) [1] — you might try a four-card trick in the form of  a novel, passing a common axis through four stories, say, and dedicating each to one of the four winds of heaven. A continuum, forsooth, embodying not a temps retrouvé but a temps délivré. Pursewarden to “Brother Ass” (C, 135)   The year 2012 was the centenary of the birth of Lawrence George Durrell, and the event was celebrated with The Guardian’s online reading group of The Alexandria Quartet (1957-60), the publication by Faber of a new edition of the Quartet (with a specially commissioned intro by Jan Morris) and an important conference in London sponsored by the International Lawrence Durrell Society. Durrell was born in Jullundur in the Punjab, India, 27 February 1912, the son of Anglo-Indian parents who had never been to England. The circumstances of Durrell’s birth, while distant from the mother country, pluralized his identity as Anglo-Indian-Irish (Irish on his Mother’s side). Born into colonial exile, the religious and political ideologies of Edwardian England, “Home of the eccentric and the sexually disabled” (M, 85), haunted the young Durrell through his first three novels: Pied Piper of Lovers (1935), Panic Spring (1937) and the The Black Book (1938). [2]  Since one is haunted only by what the senses cannot perceive, Durrell had to turn upon his inner self and to exorcise much of his Englishness in order to become an artist. Through the creation of his symbolist künstlerroman, The Black Book, he “first heard the sound of [his] own voice” (Preface, The Black Book, 1960, 13). [3] As a young bohemian in the London of the late 1920’s, Durrell was polymathic in his ambition, a lover of Elizabethan literature, an alluring presence with a powerful sexuality. Yet, he grew into a man of contradictions, best summarized by Marc Alyn: Here is a recluse who loves being surrounded by people; a hedonist whose great pleasure is asceticism; a lazy man who never stops working; a man who finds joy in despair; a traveller who enjoys nothing more than quiet contemplation; a dandy truly at his ease in the company of tramps and vagrants; a novelist whose major preoccupation is poetry; an enemy of literature who gives the best of himself to his work. [4] In celebration of the centenary I had the good fortune to embark upon a fresh reading of The Alexandria Quartet with several upper-year undergrads at l’Université de Moncton, and we were joined by several members of Moncton’s very vibrant and bilingual community of readers. Celebration aside, the objective of the reading was to determine if the Quartet still had ‘it’ – the power to hold today’s reader in an intimate and potentially redemptive connection with the work. I remember clearly thirty-two years ago when I read the Quartet, my first contact with Durrell. I spent one uninterrupted week in a glut of reading Justine, Balthazar, Mountolive and Clea. The set pieces are unforgettable: the hunt on Lake Mareotis, the Carnival in all its excess, or the Sitna Damiana celebration and the slaughter of the camels in the desert encampment. In the wake of the reading I remember feeling as if I were held in a cocoon of sensation generated by the exoticism of the setting – in particular Alexandria, “the great winepress of love,” “the capital of Memory” (J 14, 188), “the cradle of all our scientific ideas,” [5] “the Alexandria of the human estate” (C, 223) – and being moved equally by the literary ambition of the series.

Rudy Giuliani wants to turn President Donald Trump’s impeachment trial into a prosecution case against Joe Biden. The president’s personal attorney told reporters at a New Year’s Eve party at Mar-A-Lago that he would like to do far more than simply testify at the Senate impeachment trial. “I would testify, I would do demonstrations,” Giuliani said. “I’d give lectures, I’d give summations. Or, I’d do what I do best, I’d try the case. I’d love to try the case.” ADVERTISEMENT “Well, I don’t know if anybody would have the courage to give me the case,” he added, “but if you give me the case, I will prosecute it as a racketeering case, which I kind of invented, anyway.”

Above-the-line deduction In the United States tax law, an above-the-line deduction is a deduction that the Internal Revenue Service allows a taxpayer to subtract from his or her gross income in arriving at "adjusted gross income" for the taxable year. These deductions are set forth in Internal Revenue Code Section 62. A taxpayer's gross income minus his or her above-the-line deductions is equal to the adjusted gross income. Because these deductions are taken before adjusted gross income is calculated, they are designated "above-the-line." Thus, those deductions allowed in computing "taxable income" under section 63 of the IRC are "below the line deductions" (thus, adjusted gross income represents "the line"). Above-the-line deductions may be more valuable to high income taxpayers than below-the-line deductions.

Dear John letter While the exact origins of the phrase are unknown, it is commonly believed to have been coined by Americans during World War II. "John" was the most popular and common baby name for boys in America every single year from 1880 through 1923,[1] making it a reasonable 'placeholder' name when denoting those of age for military service. Large numbers of American troops were stationed overseas for many months or years, and as time passed many of their wives or girlfriends decided to begin a relationship with a new man rather than to wait for the original one to return.[citation needed]

Modern Nationalism, as developed especially since the French Revolution, has made the distinction between "language" and "dialect" an issue of great political importance. A group speaking a separate "language" is often seen as having a greater claim to being a separate "people", and thus to be more deserving of its own independent state, while a group speaking a "dialect" tends to be seen not as "a people" in its own right, but as a sub-group, part of a bigger people, which must content itself with regional autonomy.[citation needed] The distinction between language and dialect is thus inevitably made at least as much on a political basis as on a linguistic one, and can lead to great political controversy, or even armed conflict.
Real ID Act On December 20, 2013, the Department of Homeland Security announced that implementation of Phase 1 would begin on January 20, 2014, which followed a yearlong period of "deferred enforcement". There are four planned phases, three of which apply to areas that affect relatively few U.S. citizens—e.g., DHS headquarters, nuclear power plants, and restricted and semi-restricted federal facilities such as military bases.[5] On January 8, 2016, DHS issued an implementation schedule for Phase 4, stating that starting January 22, 2018 "passengers with a driver's license issued by a state that is still not compliant with the REAL ID Act (and has not been granted an extension) will need to show an alternative form of acceptable identification for domestic air travel to board their flight". Starting October 1, 2020 "every air traveler will need a REAL ID-compliant license, or another acceptable form of identification, for domestic air travel."[6] As of July 2018[update], 33 states and territories have been certified as compliant, 22 have been granted extensions, and one is not compliant.[7]
The concept of liberation (nirvāṇa)—the goal of the Buddhist path—is closely related to overcoming ignorance (avidyā), a fundamental misunderstanding or mis-perception of the nature of reality. In awakening to the true nature of the self and all phenomena one develops dispassion for the objects of clinging, and is liberated from suffering (dukkha) and the cycle of incessant rebirths (saṃsāra). To this end, the Buddha recommended viewing things as characterized by the three marks of existence.

The Green Bay Packers season was the franchise's 94th season in the National Football League, the 95th overall and the eighth under head coach Mike McCarthy. The Packers came into the 2013 season looking to win the NFC North for the 3rd year in a row. They were coming off a 45-31 loss to the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Divisional Playoffs. The Packers started the 2013 season with a rematch with the 49ers in San Francisco. They lost the game 34-28. After winning their home opener against the Redskins, they lost 34-30 in Cincinnati to the Bengals after they had a 30-14 lead in the 3rd quarter. After the loss, the Packers would win 4 games in a row to sit at 5-2 before losing a Monday Night game at home to the Bears 27-20. In that game, the Packers would lose star quarterback Aaron Rodgers to a broken collarbone in the 1st quarter. He would be replaced by Scott Tolzien and sometimes Matt Flynn. In week 12, the Packers tied the Vikings 26-26. It was Green Bay's first tie since 1987. The Packers would lose the next game 40-10 to the Lions on Thanksgiving to sit at 5-6-1, and looking like being on the verge of missing the postseason for the first time since 2008. The Packers would then beat the Falcons 22-21 to even their record at 6-6-1. The following week, the Packers defeated the Dallas Cowboys 37-36 in Dallas after they had trailed 26-3 at halftime. The comeback was the largest in franchise history. The Packers would then lose a shootout with the Pittsburgh Steelers 38-31 at home to sit at 7-7-1, the first meeting between the teams since Super Bowl XLV. The next week, the Packers defeated the Chicago Bears 33-28 at Soldier Field to clinch the NFC North in a game in which the winner would've clinched the division. The game was famously well known for a touchdown catch made by Randall Cobb from Aaron Rodgers with less than a minute remaining to seal the win. The play came on a 4th and 8 situation in which Cobb was wide open near the endzone. The Packers entered the playoffs as the 4 seed in the NFC. In the wild card game, they lost 23-20 in a rematch with the 49ers on a Phil Dawson field goal as time expired. The game was one of the coldest in NFL playoff history, with a final temperature of 5 °F (-15 °C)
The emergence of resistance of bacteria to antibiotics is a common phenomenon. Emergence of resistance often reflects evolutionary processes that take place during antibiotic therapy. The antibiotic treatment may select for bacterial strains with physiologically or genetically enhanced capacity to survive high doses of antibiotics. Under certain conditions, it may result in preferential growth of resistant bacteria, while growth of susceptible bacteria is inhibited by the drug. For example, antibacterial selection for strains having previously acquired antibacterial-resistance genes was demonstrated in 1943 by the Luria–Delbrück experiment. Antibiotics such as penicillin and erythromycin, which used to have a high efficacy against many bacterial species and strains, have become less effective, due to the increased resistance of many bacterial strains.

Ring a Ring o' Roses "Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring a Ring o' Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground singing game. It first appeared in print in 1881, but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7925. Urban legend says the song originally described the plague, specifically the Great Plague of London, or the Black Death, but folklorists reject this idea.[2]
To raise money, Seagram head Edgar Bronfman Jr. sold Universal's television holdings, including cable network USA, to Barry Diller (these same properties would be bought back later at greatly inflated prices). In June 2000, Seagram was sold to French water utility and media company Vivendi, which owned StudioCanal; the conglomerate then became known as Vivendi Universal. Afterward, Universal Pictures acquired the United States distribution rights of several of StudioCanal's films, such as Mulholland Drive (which received an Oscar nomination) and Brotherhood of the Wolf (which became the second-highest-grossing French-language film in the United States since 1980). Universal Pictures and StudioCanal also co-produced several films, such as Love Actually (an $40 million-budgeted film that eventually grossed $246 million worldwide). In late 2000, the New York Film Academy was permitted to use the Universal Studios backlot for student film projects in an unofficial partnership.
Participation in the Premier League by some Scottish or Irish clubs has sometimes been discussed, but without result. The idea came closest to reality in 1998, when Wimbledon received Premier League approval to relocate to Dublin, Ireland, but the move was blocked by the Football Association of Ireland. Additionally, the media occasionally discusses the idea that Scotland's two biggest teams, Celtic and Rangers, should or will take part in the Premier League, but nothing has come of these discussions.
Breathing Life Into Wilson, Arkansas In 2011 when Gaylon Lawrence, Sr. purchased the holdings of Lee Wilson & Company for $150 million dollars, he acquired an entire town—the town of Wilson. In only three years, thanks to the management team he and his son Gaylon Jr. put together, exciting changes are underway. If you blink, you will certainly miss the next episode of "this is how you breathe life into a small, rural town. "Driving along the cottonwood tree lined streets of Wilson (located in Northeast Arkansas near the Mississippi River), you might think the town is part of a movie set. But it’s for real. Just take a look and you’ll see what I mean. Wilson Cafe, located in the old Tavern location, opened last December. You may have heard this buzz about this amazing restaurant. Chef Joe Cartwright, formerly of The Elegant Farmer in Memphis, serves a variety of sweet and savory food choices never before offered in Mississippi County. Be sure to save room for dessert. The historic downtown square has received a complete facelift with fresh landscaping and tree trimming. Citywide Wi-Fi has been installed. Stop and pay your respects to town founder, Robert E. Lee Wilson, who is buried in the center of town. Mr. Wilson was the original visionary who created a 65,000-acre cotton empire from Mississippi County swampland. The Delta School, a private charter school set to open in August 2015, will be located in one of the original Wilson plantation houses. What a place to attend school. Harvard educated Jenifer Fox, who served as head of the Clariden School in Southlake, Texas, will serve as the school’s founding head. Plans are underway to relocate the Hampson Museum into a new, state of the art building on the square. The Hampson Museum (currently in a cramped location near downtown) houses an impressive exhibit of nationally renowned artifacts from the 15-acre Nodena site of Late Mississippian Period Native Americans dated A. D. 1400 – 1650. The human effigy head pictured below is incredible.

Located on the old gin lot, the gardens are open each Tuesday 4-7pm and Saturday 8-11am for purchase of locally grown produce, flowers (in season), homemade bread, etc. Leslie Wolverton, the energetic young lady from Oxford, Mississippi who was snapped up to oversee this project, knows a thing or two about gardening. She studied plant and soil science at Mississippi State University. Leslie has four acres under irrigation and the capacity to expand to seven acres. This winter, three hoop houses will be going up and the farm shop will open which will include an indoor market, packing and washing house and teaching kitchen. And next spring, there will be chickens. (Garden tours are available by appointment. )When a community comes together in this way, good things are bound to happen.
Since the middle of the 19th century, Masonic historians have sought the origins of the movement in a series of similar documents known as the Old Charges, dating from the Regius Poem in about 1425 to the beginning of the 18th century. Alluding to the membership of a lodge of operative masons, they relate a mythologised history of the craft, the duties of its grades, and the manner in which oaths of fidelity are to be taken on joining. The fifteenth century also sees the first evidence of ceremonial regalia.
From 1889, when Guangxu began to rule in his own right, to 1898, the Empress Dowager lived in semi-retirement, spending the majority of the year at the Summer Palace. On November 1, 1897, two German Roman Catholic missionaries were murdered in the southern part of Shandong Province (the Juye Incident). In response, Germany used the murders as a pretext for a naval occupation of Jiaozhou Bay. The occupation prompted a "scramble for concessions" in 1898, which included the German lease of Jiazhou Bay, the Russian acquisition of Liaodong, and the British lease of the New Territories of Hong Kong.
The Canadian Cutting Horse Association (CCHA) is a non-profit organization dedicated to promoting the equestrian sport of cutting in Canada. Founded in 1954, it regulates a sport that began in the mid-1880s and became popular in Canada in the 1940s and 1950s. The CCHA maintains a Hall of Fame to honour members who have made outstanding contributions to the sport. The CCHA's patron is HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh. Cutting is a sport based on ranchwork that began in the early 19th century, cutting cattle out of herds. Horses and riders are judged on how well they work to remove a single steer from a herd and keep it from returning. The CCHA promotes a type of horse called the Canadian cutting horse; this type is made up of many breeds with a common stock horse background.
The Maratha states, following the Anglo-Maratha wars, eventually lost to the British East India Company in 1818 with the Third Anglo-Maratha War. The rule lasted until 1858, when, after the Indian rebellion of 1857 and consequent of the Government of India Act 1858, the British government assumed the task of directly administering India in the new British Raj. In 1819 Stamford Raffles established Singapore as a key trading post for Britain in their rivalry with the Dutch. However, their rivalry cooled in 1824 when an Anglo-Dutch treaty demarcated their respective interests in Southeast Asia. From the 1850s onwards, the pace of colonization shifted to a significantly higher gear.

The economy of the British Virgin Islands is one of the most prosperous in the Caribbean . Although tiny in absolute terms , because of the very small population of the British Virgin Islands , in 2010 the Territory had the 19th highest GDP per capita in the world according to the CIA World factbook . In global terms the size of the Territory 's GDP measured in terms of purchasing power is ranked as 215th out of a total of 229 countries . The economy of the Territory is based upon the `` twin pillars '' of financial services , which generates approximately 60 % of government revenues , and tourism , which generates nearly all of the rest . Historically the British Virgin Islands has normally produced a Government budget surplus , but during the financial crisis of 2007 -- 2008 the Territory began to run at a deficit , which continued after the global recession receded . In 2011 the Territory had its largest ever budget deficit , of US$ 29 million -LRB- approximately 2.6 % of GDP -RRB- . By 2012 public debt had quadrupled from pre-crisis levels to approximately US$ 113 million -LRB- approximately 10.3 % of GDP -RRB- . Nearly 84 % of that public debt was attributable to a new public hospital built in Road Town between 2003 and 2014 . The Economist argued that deteriorating economic conditions in the British Virgin Islands were caused `` not -LSB- by -RSB- sagging revenues but public-sector profligacy '' . By 2014 public debt had been reduced to US$ 106 million and the annual deficit reduced to US$ 25 million -LRB- including budgeted capital expenditure -RRB- . By 2016 , the Government had returned to a primary budget surplus , but public debt had increased to approximately US$ 141 million and debt service accounted for over US$ 12 million of the primary surplus . However , because of an ongoing aggressive capital investment programme , and budget overruns on key public projects , the Government ran dangerously low on available cash . Cash in the consolidated fund fell below US$ 7 million -LRB- with average monthly expenditure at nearly US$ 30 million -RRB- , and Government accrued over US$ 13 million in due but unpaid invoices .

Cherokee Nation v. Georgia Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 30 U.S. (5 Pet.) 1 (1831), was a United States Supreme Court case. The Cherokee Nation sought a federal injunction against laws passed by the U.S. state of Georgia depriving them of rights within its boundaries, but the Supreme Court did not hear the case on its merits. It ruled that it had no original jurisdiction in the matter, as the Cherokees were a dependent nation, with a relationship to the United States like that of a "ward to its guardian," as said by Justice Marshall.
A spaceplane is an aerospace vehicle that operates as an aircraft in Earth's atmosphere, as well as a spacecraft when it is in space. It combines features of an aircraft and a spacecraft, which can be thought of as an aircraft that can endure and maneuver in the vacuum of space or likewise a spacecraft that can fly like an airplane. Typically, it takes the form of a spacecraft equipped with wings, although lifting bodies have been designed and tested as well. The propulsion to reach space may be purely rocket based or may use the assistance of airbreathing jet engines. The spaceflight is then followed by an unpowered glide return to landing.
Man who raped, killed Fla. boy executed Southeast Man who raped, killed Fla. boy executed Published February 12, 2014 Associated Press Facebook Twitter livefyre Email Jan. 9, 2007: In this file photo, death row inmate Juan Carlos Chavez is shown during the first day of hearings at a Miami-Dade County courtroom in Miami. (AP)STARKE, Fla. – A man was executed Wednesday night in Florida for raping and killing a 9-year-old boy 18 years ago, a death that spurred the victim's parents to press nationwide for stronger sexual predator confinement laws and better handling of child abduction cases. ADVERTISEMENTJuan Carlos Chavez, 46, was pronounced dead at 8:17 p.m. Wednesday after a lethal injection at Florida State Prison, according to Gov. Rick Scott's office. Chavez made no final statement in the death chamber, though prison officials said he had submitted something in writing. He moved his feet frequently after the injection began at 8:02 p.m. but two minutes later stopped moving. Chavez abducted Jimmy Ryce at gunpoint after the boy got off a school bus on Sept. 11, 1995, in rural Miami-Dade County. Testimony showed Chavez raped the boy, shot him when he tried to escape, then dismembered his body and hid the parts in concrete-covered planters. Ryce's parents turned the tragedy's pain into a push for stronger U. S. laws regarding confinement of sexual predators and improved police procedures in missing child cases. Their foundation provided hundreds of free canines to law enforcement agencies to aid in searches for children. Despite an intensive search in 1995 by police and volunteers, regular appeals for help through the media and distribution of flyers about Jimmy, it wasn't until three months later that Chavez's landlady discovered the boy's book bag and the murder weapon — a revolver Chavez had stolen from her house — in the trailer where Chavez lived. Chavez later confessed to police and led them to Jimmy's remains. He was tried and found guilty of murder, sexual battery and kidnapping. Chavez's most recent state and federal court appeals have focused on claims that Florida's lethal injection procedure is unconstitutional, that he didn't get due process during clemency hearings and that he should have an execution stay to pursue additional appeals in the federal courts. The Florida Supreme Court, however, refused Wednesday morning to stay the execution to allow Chavez time to pursue those challenges, and the U. S. Supreme Court followed suit hours later. The appeals prompted a more than two-hour delay in Chavez's execution. Don Ryce, Jimmy's father said recently that he and his wife had become determined to turn their son's horrific slaying into something positive, in part because they felt they owed something to all the people who tried to help find him. They also refused to wallow in misery. "You've got to do something or you do nothing. That was just not the way we wanted to live the rest of our lives," he said. The Ryces created the Jimmy Ryce Center for Victims of Predatory Abduction, a nonprofit organization based in Vero Beach that works to increase public awareness and education about sexual predators. It also provides counseling for parents of victims and helps train law enforcement agencies in ways to respond to missing children cases. The organization has also provided, free of charge, more than 400 bloodhounds to police departments around the country and abroad. Ryce said if police searching for Jimmy had bloodhounds they might have found him in time. The Ryces also helped persuade then-President Bill Clinton to sign an executive order allowing missing-child flyers to be posted in federal buildings, which they had been prevented from doing for their own son. Another accomplishment was 1998 passage in Florida of the Jimmy Ryce Act, versions of which have also been adopted in other states. Under the law, sexual predators found to be still highly dangerous can be detained through civil commitment even after they have served their prison sentences. Such people must prove they have been rehabilitated before they can be released. Chavez had no criminal record, so the law would not have affected him. Chavez's only visitor Wednesday was his spiritual adviser, prison officials said.
Two ground rules would govern the convention proceedings. First, all deliberations were to be kept secret. (Detailed word about the debates remained guarded until the publication of Madisons notes in 1840.) Second, no issue was to be regarded as closed and could be revisited for debate at any time. The Convention convened on May 25, 1787, at the State House (now Independence Hall) in Philadelphia. It opened eleven days later than planned because of the slow arrival of some delegates. All of the states were represented except for Rhode Island, which declined to attend.
Latin American wars of independence The Latin American wars of independence were the revolutions that took place during the late 18th and early 19th centuries and resulted in the creation of a number of independent countries in Latin America. These revolutions followed the American and French Revolutions, which had profound effects on the British, Spanish, Portuguese, and French colonies in the Americas. Haiti, a French slave colony, was the first to follow the United States; the Haitian Revolution lasted from 1791 to 1804, when they won their independence. From this emerged Napoleon Bonaparte as French ruler, whose armies set out to conquer Europe, including Spain and Portugal in 1808. The Peninsular War with France, which resulted from the Napoleonic occupation of Spain, caused Spanish Creoles in Spanish America to question their allegiance to Spain, stoking independence movements that culminated in the wars of independence, which lasted almost two decades. At the same time, the Portuguese monarchy relocated to Brazil during Portugal's French occupation. After the royal court returned to Lisbon, the prince regent, Pedro, remained in Brazil and in 1822 successfully declared himself emperor of a newly independent Brazil.

The Hurricane Rita tornado outbreak was a significant tropical cyclone-produced tornado outbreak and severe weather event that resulted from the remnants of Hurricane Rita in late-September 2005. The event was the fourth-largest tornado outbreak caused by a tropical cyclone in recorded history. After the hurricane made landfall on the extreme southwestern coast of Louisiana on September 24, the tropical cyclone's strong rainbands affected much of the West South Central and East South Central States, producing heavy rainfall in addition to numerous tornadoes. Tornadic activity was distributed roughly evenly from September 24–25, though activity shifted slightly eastward on September 25. The severe activity ended by September 26, by which time the remnants of Hurricane Rita were absorbed by a frontal boundary.

About Ali MacGraw, Ali MacGraw Biography, Ali MacGraw Bio at The Steve McQueen Site   About Ali MacGraw Ali MacGraw was born Alice MacGraw on April 1, 1938 in Pound Ridge, New York.  She was born to an Irish-American Father and a Jewish mother. She has one brother. Both parents were artists and coming from an artistic family, Ali realized from an early age she wanted a career in the arts. She attended the prestigious Wellesley College which boasts Hilary Rodham Clinton and Diane Sawyer as alumni.  At age 22, Ali became an assistant to Diana Vreeland at Harper's Bazaar and stylist at Vogue  Her natural beauty and grace impressed the photographers and she was asked to move in front of the camera and do some photo shoots. Her clean, fresh look was a bit hit and she began a successful second career modeling and appearing in TV commercials.  She started the Less-is-More look as she needed and used little make-up thus creating a huge trend in women wanting to look natural rather than made-up.  She soon turned to acting. She began her career in acting in 1968 in the movie A Lovely Way to Die  but it wasn't until she starred in the movie Goodbye Columbus that she caught the eye of Robert Evans, a Paramount executive.  They fell in love and were married in 1971 and had one child, a son Josh. With Evans guiding her career, her next film role would be one with which she would forever be associated.  In 1970, she was cast as the beautiful Jennifer Cavalleri in the huge hit Love Story co-starring Ryan O'Neal for which she received an Academy Award nomination. The role she would play after Love Story would change her life dramatically. In 1973, she was cast as Carol McCoy in the hit The Getaway in which she co-starred with Steve McQueen.  They fell madly and passionately in love while filming and Ali would eventually leave Robert Evans to be with McQueen.  The Getaway would be her last role while she was married to him.  She gave up her career to become a full-time wife to placate McQueen, he preferred his wife to be in the role of a homemaker rather than a career woman.  While Ali was happy to give up her interests to make Steve happy, he was unwilling to do the same. While he was a talented and well-loved actor, he was not a supportive or faithful husband.  Soon after they were married, he returned to his old ways of drinking, taking drugs and having numerous affairs.  Ali was devastated and soon realized she needed more than to be just Mrs. Steve McQueen to fulfill her life.  She began discussing a return to films with Steve and to her dismay, Steve became furious and demanded she remain a housewife only.  He didn't want her to take classes or have any outside interests because he wanted her to be at home and waiting for him when he decided to come home. With Steve living his double life, she was unable to maintain hers as the dutiful wife and began looking at scripts. In 1978, she signed on for a role in Sam Peckinpah's Convoy and her marriage to McQueen came to a very nasty end.  She had signed a pre-nuptial agreement and had very little of her own money since she hadn't worked in so long. Steve controlled everything.  Consequently, he kicked Ali out of their marital home and moved the woman with whom he'd been having his latest affair, into their home even as Josh was still living there and Ali's clothes were still in the closet. Her name was Barbara Minty and she would become his third wife.  Even Steve's first wife Neile was disgusted by his behavior and made the remark that it was not his most shining moment. In Steve's mind, because she had refused to do everything he'd asked, he felt Ali had betrayed him and he would never forgive her.  They divorced in 1978.  Ali had always hoped to reconcile their differences with Steve but, on his deathbed, he would not see or speak to her. Some say it is because he did not want her to see him in his condition.  According to Marshall Terrill's biography, many of Steve's closest friends and confidantes are convinced she was the one true love of his
A Catholic Jew Pontificates: Apollo and his Nine Muses and the Jewish Mystical Tradition Apollo and his Nine Muses and the Jewish Mystical Tradition Rebbe Nachman of Breslov wrote of the mysteries of the 10 stringed lyre [1] and the music, song, dance and melody pulsating through all creation [2] and often hidden in the depths of the stories, folktales and sciences of the nations. The master storyteller was seen by him as the Master of Prayer [3] a kind of spiritual troubadour.  Rebbe Nachman was a true romantic [4] who embraced the Hasidic most-moved Mover [5] as the God of Israel rather than the dry intellectual concept of the Unmoved First Mover of Greek philosophy. The concept of the ten-stringed lyre or harp is at the heart of his Hasidic and kabbalistic understanding of reality.  The Greek Mythological concept of the Nine Muses of inspiration reaches into the primeval wisdom (Sophia) of the Greeks. [6] Behind the masculine mask of the intellectualism of Greek Philosophy is hidden the ever burning wildness of the feminine Greek Mythology of the wild, dancing, singing, leaping world of the creative muses. Homer the earliest of the Greek writers tells of these muses set in a world that has little in common with the male-dominated cultures of the Mediterranean but of the Goddess dominated northern cultures of Europe descended from the lost Tribes of Israel. At the core of the Greek understanding of the nine muses is the concept of the lyre just as it is in the mystical tradition of Israel and of King David. As the words lyric and lyre suggest, in the ancient world lyric poetry and storytelling would be accompanied by the musical instrument of the lyre. [7] This goddess is the Matronita and Holy Wisdom of Biblical and Jewish tradition who has been transformed into the Greek Sophia. This Sophia is embodied in the nine muses.  The ten strings of the Davidic lyre represent the sefirot of Jewish mysticism seen in the feminine mirror of the Tree of Life. The Davidic Messiah or Bridegroom of the Song of Songs and Psalm 19 becomes the Apollo of Greek mythology. The Davidic Queen-Mother and Bride is the Sophia of Greek wisdom. Sophia is also Aphrodite the Goddess of Love and desire. The Greek origin of the term muses comes from the word for desire (mosis). This has a link to Moses and his sister Miriam who led the women in the spiral circle dance at the Red Sea. The circle dance of the nine Muses alludes to this mystical and spiral dance at the heart of all wisdom. This is feminine wisdom –the wisdom of the mother and the Goddess as the one who dances according to the music of the lyre played under Divine Inspiration which is the Divine Will or Desire for Creation. Apollo or the Davidic Messiah is this Sun of the Divine Will who is the Muse-Leader- the one who leads us to join the rounds or spiral circles of Living and Dancing in the Divine Will. This is the source of all man’s wisdom, learning, knowledge, creativity and inspiration. Miriam and the women in the circle spiral dance Joseph Campbell’s understanding of the monomyth as the common pattern that lies hidden within the great mythologies of man can be useful in helping to understand the role of the nine muses in this great mythological wisdom tradition underlining all cultures. This is the music and melody of the mystical lyre of Apollo and David. Campbell also in his writings writes about the nine muses. He states: “…so are the Muses-clothed in the garments of this world-not opposed to the unclothed Graces, but in triple rhythm (3 times 3) the earthly heralds of their paradisial dance. And they are nine because (as Dante tells of his own Muse, Beatrice) their root (the square root of nine being three) is in the trinity above. Beyond the frightening visage of all-consuming time, the arts-the Muses-initiate us to the enduring harmony of the universe, the planes or aspects of which are controlled by the planets and their spheres…” [8]   The three primordial muses that embody the nine Muses were Aoide (song or tune), Melete (practice or occasion) and Mneme (remember) as the

First of all, maintaining a regular intake of carbohydrates will prevent protein from being used as an energy source. Gluconeogenesis will slow down and amino acids will be freed for the biosyntheses of enzymes, antibodies, receptors and other important proteins. Furthermore, an adequate amount of carbohydrates will prevent the degradation of skeletal muscle and other tissues such as the heart, liver, and kidneys.

Area of a circle One method of deriving this formula, which originated with Archimedes, involves viewing the circle as the limit of a sequence of regular polygons. The area of a regular polygon is half its perimeter multiplied by the distance from its center to its sides, and the corresponding formula (that the area is half the perimeter times the radius, i.e. ​1⁄2 × 2πr × r) holds in the limit for a circle.
