List of players with five or more goals in an NHL game Joe Malone, playing in the early days of the NHL, holds the overall record with five different five-or-more goal games, including the NHL record seven goals in a game, as well as a six-goal game and three five-goal games. Overall, seven different players have scored six goals in a gameâ€”including brothers Corb and Cy Denneny, within a few weeks of each other in 1921. A total of 40 individual players have scored exactly five goals in a game, on one or more occasions. While five-goal games continue to occur from time to time, no player has scored six or more goals since Darryl Sittler scored six in February 1976.[2]
Map of El Salvador - The Full Wiki The Full Wiki Wikipedia article: Map showing all locations mentioned on Wikipedia article: El Salvador ( , literally meaning "Republic of the Savior"; original name in Nahua was Cōzcatlān) is the smallest and also the most densely populated country in Central America . It borders the Pacific Ocean . It lies on the Gulf of Fonseca , as do Honduras and Nicaragua further south. It has a population of approximately 5.7 million people as of 2009 on 21,000 km2. The capital city of San Salvador is, by some distance, the largest city of the republic. In 2001 El Salvador dropped its own currency, the colón , and adopted the U.S. dollar instead. History At the time of the Spanish conquest, the inhabitants of the western part of El Salvador, the Pipil called that part of the country Cuzcatlan, which in Pipil means "the land of precious things". Spanish rule In the early sixteenth century, the Spanish conquistadors ventured into ports to extend their dominion to the area. They called the land " " ("Province of Our Lord Jesus Christ, the Savior of the World"), which was subsequently abbreviated to " ". Pedro de Alvarado sent an expedition into the region from Guatemala in 1524, but the Pipil drove them out again in 1526. In 1528 he sent a second expedition, which succeeded, and the Spanish founded their first capital city in El Salvador at a place known today as Ciudad Vieja , the first site of the Villa de San Salvador, 10 km. south of Suchitoto. This capital was occupied from 1528 until 1545 when it was abandoned, and the capital city moved to where modern San Salvador is today. Towards the end of 1810, a combination of internal and external factors allowed the Central American elites an attempt to gain independence from the Spanish crown. The internal factors were mainly the interest the elites had in controlling the territories they owned without involvement from Spanish authorities. The external factors were the success of the French and American revolutions in the eighteenth century and the weakening of the military power of the Spanish crown because of its wars against Napoleonic France . The independence movement was consolidated on November 5, 1811, when the Salvadoran priest, Jose Matias Delgado , sounded the bells of the Iglesia La Merced in San Salvador, making a call for the insurrection. After many years of internal fights, the Acta de Independencia (Act of Independence) of Central America was signed in Guatemala on September 15, 1821. When these provinces were joined with Mexico in early 1822, El Salvador resisted, insisting on autonomy for the Central American countries. After minor battles the resistances were recognized in forming a new country. Independence In 1823, the United Provinces of Central America was formed by the five Central American states under General Manuel José Arce . When this federation was dissolved in 1839, El Salvador became an independent republic . El Salvador's early history as an independent state was marked by frequent revolutions. From 1872 to 1898, El Salvador was a prime mover in attempts to reestablish an isthmian federation . The governments of El Salvador, Honduras considered joining the Greater Republic (which was rechristened the United States of Central America when its constitution went into effect in 1898), but neither country did so. This union, which had planned to establish its capital city at Amapala on the Golfo de Fonseca , did not survive a coup in El Salvador in 1898. The enormous profits that coffee yielded as a monoculture export served as an impetus for the process whereby land became concentrated in the hands of an oligarchy of few families. A succession of presidents from the ranks of the Salvadoran oligarchy, nominally both conservative and liberal , throughout the last half of the nineteenth century generally agreed on the promotion of coffee as the predominant cash crop , on the development of infrastructure ( railroads and port facilities ) primarily in support of the coffee trade, on the elimination of communal landholdi

How many calories you burn in a workout depends on your size, duration and intensity. For example, a 155-pound person who does 30 minutes of moderate-intensity calisthenics -- such as jumping jacks and pushups -- or a 4 mph walk burns 167 calories; but a 185-pound person burns 200 calories with these same activities.
St Helena's biodiversity, however, also includes marine vertebrates, invertebrates (freshwater, terrestrial and marine), fungi (including lichen-forming species), non-vascular plants, seaweeds and other biological groups. To date, very little is known about these, although more than 200 lichen-forming fungi have been recorded, including 9 endemics, suggesting that many significant discoveries remain to be made.

2012 Pacific typhoon season During each season, several national meteorological services and scientific agencies forecast how many tropical cyclones, tropical storms, and typhoons will form during a season and/or how many tropical cyclones will affect a particular country. These agencies include the Tropical Storm Risk Consortium of the University College London, Philippine Atmospheric, Geophysical and Astronomical Services Administration and the Taiwan's Central Weather Bureau. During previous seasons the Guy Carpenter Asia-Pacific Climate Impact Centre also issued forecasts, however they did not issue a forecast this year as it had been overestimating how many tropical cyclones would develop during the last few seasons.

Delicious Weird Eats Delicious Weird Eats San Francisco Bay Area 62 Delicious Weird Eats I will try basically anything a restaurant serves. I often meander into entrees that include popular ingredients like beef, chicken, fish, vegetables, lamb, et cetera. I will also try dishes that have ingredients that are foreign to most people’s palates (Escargot? Count me in. Cow intestines? Please?). Growing up in a Filipino household, I would encounter dishes made with ingredients that are, well, uncommon compared to typical American cuisine, i.e., pig’s blood, and I loved every morsel of it. However, there are people that might cringe at the thought of mixing their appetite with things that may go bump in the night. I say, “Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it.” These unfamiliar ingredients that many people dare not go near have been used since the conception of most European and Asian fare. In the hands of talented chefs, they are the center pieces of many fantastic dishes that can stimulate anyone’s culinary senses. Many of our restaurants feature dishes created with uncommon ingredients, and trust me, they are created by the skillful hands. Table 926 Owner and Executive Chef of Table 926 in Pacific Beach, Matt Richman, is no stranger to exposing guests’ taste buds to new and different flavor combinations. Constructing his entrées with in-season ingredients, Chef Richman blends Californian cuisine with Mediterranean and Latin American flavors. His Glazed Pork Cheeks with guajillo-tamarind glaze, braised greens and polenta is a perfect example. Pork cheek, also known as guanciale, is often unsmoked Italian bacon, similar to hog jowl used as seasoning in Southern soul food. However, Chef Richman has used this part of the pig to create a dish that touches base on his own culinary philosophy and offers a delicious dish that is tender and savory. Geoge's California Modern Located in Downtown La Jolla on Prospect Street, George's California Modern offers an a la carte dinner menu that boasts a wide range of exquisite selections that focus on California ingredients with a modern twist. Executive Chef and partner Trey Foshee showcases his culinary genius by taking traditional entrees and ‘turning them inside out’. He uses a part of the cow that many people wouldn’t dare to eat: the tongue. Chef Foshee’s Warm Beef Tongue is paired with grilled onions, avocado mousse, habanero, smoked garlic tomato vinaigrette and house pickles. Beef tongue is very high in fat, with almost 75% of its calories coming from it, and that is what makes it so delicious. The high fat content added with the taste of beef gives diners a fabulous mixer that ultimately makes a wonderfully savory main dish. Robata Ya Oton While Japanese restaurants may be a dime-a-dozen now, many manipulate diners into thinking what they serve is actually traditional Japanese cuisine. However, it’s generally accompanied by Western-style characteristics (Do you think the crunchy roll’s origin was from Japan? Yeah, I didn’t think so, either) masked behind low-grade ingredients. Very few establishments in San Diego are genuine Japanese cuisine. Guests at Robata Ya Oton, however, can engulf all their culinary senses in a traditional Japanese menu that exceeds the boundaries of teriyaki chicken and white rice. Head Chef Aiko Ishito has created a classic menu that features entrees like Shio Chanko and Miso Chanko—hot pot dishes that consist of a variety of vegetables, mushrooms, tofu, seafood, chicken and pork in a flavorful broth—and a full list of Yakimono, grilled entrees featuring common meats such as beef, chicken, and pork. In addition to the meats on the Yakimono list, Robata Ya Oton offers other protein choices that are a little bit, unusual by western diners' standards. Dishes like grilled chicken oysters, gizzards and hearts are only the tip of the iceberg. First, a chicken oyster isn’t what the syntax might lead people to believe (no, they’re not oysters filled with chicken, promise). Chicken oysters are two small, round pieces of dark meat on the back of poultry near the

ClubJenna, Inc. was a multi-media adult entertainment company based in Scottsdale, Arizona. It was founded in 2000 by adult film actress Jenna Jameson, and Jay Grdina, who performed as an adult film actor under the name Justin Sterling and today is president of ClubJenna, Inc. Initially a single website, the business expanded into managing similar websites of other stars and began producing pornographic films in 2000. The first such film, "Briana Loves Jenna" (with Briana Banks), was named at the 2003 AVN Awards as the best-selling and best-renting pornographic title for 2002. Its assets include a film production business, a network of pay web sites, as well as a subscription-based cable television channel. By 2005 Club Jenna had revenues of US$30 million with profits estimated at half that. In 2006 it was described by Reuters as one of the handful of studios that dominate the U.S. porn industry.

John Galliano makes London fashion comeback after ban for anti-Semitic remarks - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) John Galliano makes London fashion comeback after ban for anti-Semitic remarks Updated January 13, 2015 11:16:37 Designer John Galliano has made his comeback in London almost four years after being banished from the Paris fashion world over an anti-Semitic rant. The 54-year-old presented his collection for fashion designer Maison Margiela to overwhelming critical acclaim. Seen as one of the most brilliant fashion talents of his generation, Galliano was sacked by Dior in 2011 after being filmed delivering a drunken tirade in a Paris bar. He has kept a low profile since and some say they will never forgive his remarks, but Margiela gave him a second chance by appointing him creative director in October. The collection blended his flamboyant, theatrical style and the brand's more minimalist look. His comeback was attended by some of fashion's biggest names, including supermodel Kate Moss, Anna Wintour, the editor of US Vogue, and celebrity shoe designer Manolo Blahnik. "I thought the show was sensational," British fashion editor Hilary Alexander said after the catwalk. "It's what we've been missing. It was John Galliano at his absolute peak of perfection, combining the skills of a fabulous atelier with his own very romantic and fantastical vision." Burberry's chief executive Christopher Bailey said the show was "magical". Mr Blahnik told reporters: "Fabulous! I'm glad he's working again." Alexandra Shulman, editor-in-chief of British Vogue, said the collection was a "template". "You couldn't really look at it exactly for the clothes, it was more to give the spirit of what he wanted to do," she said. Galliano's London show seen as snub to Paris The announcement that Galliano's first show would take place in London, the city where he trained and made his name, was seen in some circles as a snub to Paris, the home of haute couture. His collection was subsequently dropped from the Paris couture calendar at the end of January, although it will be shown by appointment. "It was beautifully done and you remember what a talent he is," said Natalie Massenet, chairman of the British Fashion Council and founder of online fashion retailer Net-a-Porter. Maison Margiela said the choice of London for the show reflected both Galliano's personal links and the city's traditional tailoring history and heritage. Galliano was born in the British territory of Gibraltar but was raised in London and studied in the capital before heading to Paris to join Givenchy and then Dior. The fashion world has a very short memory. It loves what it once hated, hates what it once loved, kills as much as it gives birth to - it's a very cynical and very volatile world. Fashion historian, Lydia Kamitsis He was viewed as the driving force behind the huge success of Dior during nearly 15 years at the fashion house. But his glittering career imploded after he was captured on a mobile phone video hurling abuse at people in a bar in Paris's historic Jewish quarter. He was found guilty in September 2011 of making anti-Semitic insults in public - an offence under French law - although he was spared jail and was instead fined. The designer apologised and blamed his outbursts on alcohol and drugs, and underwent rehabilitation. Since then he had been almost entirely absent from fashion, apart from a three-week designer-in-residence role at Oscar de la Renta's workshop in New York in 2013. Galliano's excommunication ended last year following a decision by Renzo Rosso, president of the OTB group that owns Maison Margiela, to bring him on board. Mr Rosso said he felt "incredible emotion" and promised the next show would be held in Paris. "I could even cry, the dresses were beautiful, what he's done is incredible," Mr Rosso said. "John is coming from London. He started here, he said 'I want to start again from London'. This was just to say 'ok, we're back'." Fashion historian Lydia Kamitsis said "the fashion world has a very short memory". "It loves wha

Education in Ghana The Ghanaian education system is divided in three parts: "Basic Education", secondary cycle and tertiary Education. "Basic Education" lasts 11 years(Age 4-15), is free and compulsory.[48] It is divided into Kindergarten(2 years), primary school(2 modules of 3 years) and Junior High school(3 years). The junior high school(JHS) ends on the Basic Education Certificate Examination (BECE).[48][49] Once the BECE achieved, the pupil can pursue into secondary cycle.[50] Secondary cycle can be either general (assumed by Senior High School) or vocational(assumed by technical Senior High School, Technical and vocational Institutes and a massive private and informal offer). Senior High school lasts three years and ends on the West African Secondary School Certificate Examination (WASSCE). Other secondary institutions leads to various certifications and diplomas. Tertiary education is basically divided into university (academic education) and Polytechnics(vocational education). The WASSCE is needed to join a university bachelor's degree program.[51]A bachelor's degree lasts 4 years and can be followed by a 1 or 2 year Master. The student is then free to start a Phd, usually completed in 3 years.[52] Polytechnics are opened to vocational students, from SHS or from TVI.[53] A Polytechnic curriculum lasts 2 to 3 years.[53] Ghana also possesses numerous colleges of education.[54] New tertiary education graduates have to serve one year within the National Service Scheme.[55][56] The Ghanaian education system from Kindergarten up to an undergraduate degree level takes 20 years.[57]

From April–July, Soviet and German officials made statements regarding the potential for the beginning of political negotiations, while no actual negotiations took place during that time period. The ensuing discussion of a potential political deal between Germany and the Soviet Union had to be channeled into the framework of economic negotiations between the two countries, because close military and diplomatic connections, as was the case before the mid-1930s, had afterward been largely severed. In May, Stalin replaced his Foreign Minister Maxim Litvinov, who was regarded as pro-western and who was also Jewish, with Vyacheslav Molotov, allowing the Soviet Union more latitude in discussions with more parties, not only with Britain and France.
Step 1. Apply a cold compress to the affected toe to reduce the swelling and ease any pain. An ice pack or ice cubes wrapped in a damp towel are equally effective. Do not apply ice directly to your skin, as doing so can lead to tissue damage and increased pain.
Because vitamin C is water-soluble, it washes out of your body when you urinate. Therefore, it is important to get several doses of vitamin C a day. To get enough vitamin C, I recommend taking at least two, usually three, doses of vitamin C daily. I do this by combining food and supplements.
European colonization of the Americas Norse journeys to Greenland and Canada are supported by historical and archaeological evidence.[4] A Norse colony in Greenland was established in the late 10th century, and lasted until the mid 15th century, with court and parliament assemblies (þing) taking place at Brattahlíð and a bishop located at Garðar.[5] The remains of a Norse settlement at L'Anse aux Meadows in Newfoundland, Canada, were discovered in 1960 and were dated to around the year 1000 (carbon dating estimate 990–1050 CE).[6] L'Anse aux Meadows is the only site widely accepted as evidence of pre-Columbian trans-oceanic contact. It was named a World Heritage site by UNESCO in 1978.[7] It is also notable for its possible connection with the attempted colony of Vinland, established by Leif Erikson around the same period or, more broadly, with the West Norse colonization of the Americas.[8]
Top 6 Thyme Benefits (#1 & #6 Will Clear Your Throat) Natural Remedies Herbs & Spices Top 6 Thyme Benefits (#1 & #6 Will Clear Your Throat)Top 6 Thyme Benefits (#1 & #6 Will Clear Your Throat)855 20 1650Thyme isn’t just one of the most popular culinary herbs today — it also has a long, long history of use as a medicinal healer and protector. Back in the Roman era, it was consumed to prevent poisoning and put in baths to stop the effects of poisoning once it already happened. In the days before refrigeration and food safety laws, including it in recipes gave you at least some protection against spoiled meat and food-borne illness. Prior to modern antibiotics coming on the scene, thyme oil was used to medicate bandages. You might not even realize that you have used this herb medicinally in your life before — thymol, thyme’s most active ingredient, is used in Listerine mouthwash and Vicks Vapo Rub because of its antibacterial and antifungal properties. The fact that these classic, although not very natural, products choose to use thymol as a key ingredient speaks to the undeniable medicinal benefits of this versatile herb. Read on to learn about this awesome herb that is super easy to incorporate into your daily life for a wide range of health-boosting effects.6 Health Benefits of Thyme In general, thyme is excellent at supporting the immune and respiratory systems as well as the digestive, nervous and other body systems. It’s a serious powerhouse when it comes to staying healthy. Check out some of the top ways this herb can help improve your health.1. Fights Sore Throats Thyme oil is one of the strongest, natural antimicrobials, making it a serious weapon against sore throats. Its carvacrol content is a major reason why it’s one of the top essential oils for sore throat relief. ( 1)One recent study conducted by the Medical and Sanitary Microbiology Department at Medical University of Lodz in Poland tested thyme oil’s response to 120 different strains of bacteria isolated from patients with infections of the oral cavity, respiratory tract and genitourinary tract. The results of the experiments showed that the oil from the thyme plant exhibited extremely strong activity against all of the clinical strains. It even demonstrated a good efficacy against antibiotic-resistant strains. ( 2 ) Next time you have a sore throat, make sure to add this herb to your soup and have some soothing and germ-killing thyme tea!2. Lowers Blood Pressure and Cholesterol Levels The ingestion of thyme has been shown to produce antihypertensive activity, which makes it a great herbal choice for anyone suffering from high blood pressure symptoms. A recent animal study found that the extract was able to significantly reduce the heart rate of subjects with high blood pressure. The extract was also shown to reduce cholesterol, triglyceride and LDL levels while increasing HDL cholesterol levels. ( 3 ) Instead of overdoing it on salt, try adding more beneficial herbs like thyme to your daily meals.3. Prevents Food Poisoning Thyme has the ability not only to prevent food contamination, but to decontaminate previously contaminated foods as well. In several studies published in Food Microbiology, researchers found that the herb’s essential oil was able to decontaminate lettuce inoculated with Shigella, an infectious organism that causes diarrhea and can lead to major intestinal damage. Washing produce in a solution containing just 1 percent of the oil decreased the number of Shigella bacteria below the point of detection. ( 4)By adding it to your next meal, you can actually decrease your likelihood of a food-borne illness. Try adding fresh thyme to your next homemade salad to make those raw greens even healthier and safer to consume!4. Boosts Your Mood The carvacrol found in this medicinal herb has been studied and shown to have some very positive mood-boosting effects . Research published in 2013 showed that when carvacrol was administered for seven consecutive days to animals, it was able to increase both dopamine and serotonin levels in the prefrontal cortex and hippocampus. Dopamine and serotonin are two key neurotransmitters when it comes to your mood. The data from this study suggests that carvacrol is a brain-active molecule that clearly influences brain activity through the modulation of neurotransmitters. If thyme is regularly ingested in low concentrations, this study suggests that it might improve feelings of well-being. ( 5)5. May Fight Cancer The properties in this herb have been shown to fight against tumors and cancer. More specifically, carvacrol is a major component of the essential oil that displays antitumor properties, making this beneficial plant a potential cancer-fighting food. One recent study out of China and published in Anti-Cancer Drugs found that carvacrol inhibited the proliferation and migration of the two colon cancer cell lines. Overall, research shows that carvacrol has therapeutic potential for both the prevention and treatment of colon cancer. ( 6)6. Naturally Remedies Bronchitis Thyme has been used for centuries for the treatment of coughs and bronchitis. A study conducted by the Practice for Internal Medicine and Pneumology in Germany used an oral treatment that was a combination of thyme and ivy. The group treated with this combination had a 50 percent reduction in coughing fits that was achieved two days earlier than the placebo group. In addition, the group treated with the this combination had no more adverse events than the placebo group and no serious adverse events at all. ( 7)Further research confirms this and suggests this herb makes an effective bronchitis natural remedy as well. ( 8)Thyme Nutrition & Plant Origin Thyme ( Thymus vulgaris) is an herb that belongs to the mint family ( Lamiaceae ). The plant is a relative of the oregano genus Origanum. It’s currently cultivated throughout the world, and the leaves are commonly dried and used as culinary seasoning. Bees are attracted to thyme flowers, and the thyme honey of Sicily has been famous for hundreds of years. This herb comes in dozens of varieties, but French thyme is most common. The principal component of the essential oil is thymol, which gives it its antiseptic properties. For this reason, thyme oil is commonly used in mouthwashes and toothpastes. It effectively kills germs and infections in the mouth and protects the teeth from plaque and decay. Thymol also kills fungi and is commercially added to hand sanitizers and antifungal creams. Thyme contains another bacteria fighter known as carvacrol and also has a variety of flavonoids, including apigenin, naringenin, luteolin and thymonin. These flavonoids increase the herb’s antioxidant capacity. One ounce of fresh thyme (28 grams) contains about: ( 9)28 calories6.8 grams carbohydrates1.6 grams protein0.5 gram fat3.9 grams fiber44.8 milligrams vitamin C (75 percent DV)1,330 IU vitamin A (27 percent DV)4.9 milligrams iron (27 percent DV)0.5 milligram manganese (24 percent DV)113 milligrams calcium (11 percent DV)44.8 milligrams magnesium (11 percent DV)0.1 milligram riboflavin (8 percent DV)0.2 milligram copper (8 percent DV)0.1 milligram vitamin B6 (5 percent DV)171 milligrams potassium (5 percent DV)Thyme vs. Oregano Thyme is a cousin of another common, versatile herb, oregano. While there are some similarities between the two, there are also a few differences. Here’s how these two spices stack up: Thyme Has more vitamin A and vitamin CCommonly taken by mouth for bronchitis, whooping cough, sore throat, colic, arthritis, upset stomach, stomach pain ( gastritis ), diarrhea, bedwetting, intestinal gas ( flatulence ), parasitic worm infections and skin disorders Natural diuretic Appetite stimulant Oregano Has more potassium, iron and calcium Used for respiratory tract disorders, such as coughs, asthma, croup and bronchitis. Also used for GI disorders, such as heartburn and bloating Treats menstrual cramps, rheumatoid arthritis, UTIs, headaches and heart conditions Similarities Contain thymol and carvacrol, both of which have been shown to inhibit the growth of bacteria Antibacterial Antifungal Potent antioxidants History of Thyme Long ago, the Egyptians cleverly used thyme for embalming. It made a perfect embalming agent since its high thymol content kills off bacteria and fungus. Back in ancient times, it was associated with courage, bravery and strength. Roman soldiers exchanged sprigs of the herb as a sign of respect. Both Greeks and Romans burned bundles of thyme to purify their homes and temples. They also commonly used it medicinally in their bathwater. In the European Middle Ages, the herb was nestled under pillows to encourage restful sleep. It was also placed on coffins during funerals because it was believed that this would assure passage into the next life. Thyme is also one of the herbs used in the classic and aromatic Benedictine liqueur developed in 19th century France. How to Use Thyme This herb is easily and readily available both fresh and dried year-round. Fresh thyme is more flavorful, but it’s also less convenient. If you purchase it fresh, it can last a week or two in the refrigerator. Dried thyme should be stored in a cool, dark place and ideally used within six months. The dried version can be substituted for the fresh kind in most recipes. One teaspoon of dried leaves is equivalent to one tablespoon of chopped fresh thyme. This herb can be consumed in a variety of ways. The most common is as a fresh or dried herb in any culinary creation. For medicinal purposes, it can be purchased in the form of a tea, tincture, supplement or essential oil. When it comes to using it in your kitchen and daily life, dried or fresh thyme makes such a healthy and tasty addition to chicken, fish, beef, lamb, vegetables (especially green beans, eggplant, carrots and zucchini), cheese (especially goat cheese), pasta dishes, soups, stocks, sauces, dressings and marinades for starters. The options are really endless. If you like the taste, you can add it to just about any dish you like. Thyme Recipes If you’re looking for a way to get started with using this herb at home, try my recipe for Grilled Honey Glazed Salmon or Roasted Red Pepper Sauce with Chicken. The salmon recipe uses fresh thyme while the chicken recipe uses dried. I recommend trying both recipes and seeing the difference between using the two types. You can also use the following recipes and homemade medicines that incorporate this beneficial, versatile herb: Homemade Hormone Balance Serum Potato Leek Soup Recipe Fennel Apple Soup Recipe Roasted Brussels Sprouts with Apples & Pecans Recipe Thyme Precautions Thyme is considered safe when consumed in normal food amounts. When taken in larger quantities for medicinal purposes, it’s possibly safe for short durations of time — however, it can possibly cause digestive issues when taken in large amounts. For pregnant or nursing women, it’s best to consume this herb in normal food amounts, not medicinal quantities. It’s not a common food allergen, but if you’re allergic to oregano or other Lamiaceae species then you might also be allergic to thyme. For women who have hormone-sensitive conditions like breast cancer, ovarian cancer, uterine cancer, uterine fibroids or endometriosis, it might act like estrogen in the body. Avoid it if you have any condition that might be made worse by exposure to estrogen. When used in large amounts, this spice might possibly slow blood clotting, so be especially careful if you have any clotting disorders and/or are currently taking blood thinners. For the same reason, it’s best not to take it two weeks before surgery. Final Thoughts on Thyme Thyme is a seriously impressive plant when it comes to its use in the kitchen as a tasty and extremely healthy fresh or dried her, and it’s packed with disease-fighting nutrients and antioxidants. It can even decrease your risk of food poisoning!It also has a long history and proven track record as a natural medicine that can fight off bacteria, lower blood pressure, improve your immune system, boost your mood and has even been shown to fight some types of cancer. The easiest way to make this common herb a part of your daily life is to make sure you keep some dried thyme on hand at all times so you can add it to your meals quickly and easily. You should also opt for fresh thyme when you think of it for an an even more powerful punch of flavor and aroma!Read Next: Thyme Oil Kills Infections, Increases Circulation & Balances Hormones Previous Story - Graston Technique Can Stop Joint Pain, Muscle Stiffness + More Next Story - Lavender and Rosemary Homemade Hair Detanglerdried thyme fresh thyme thyme benefits thyme plant

Report abuse Transcript of Relationships Between Sun, Earth, Moon The Functions of the Sun, Earth, and Moon Tides: Movements in ocean waters that change the level of water. This effect is caused by the Moon's gravity pulling at the Earth The acceleration of gravity on Earth due to the Sun, is 177 greater than the gravity on Earth from the Moon. The Earth revolves around the Sun and the Moon orbits around us. The Sun provides light for us during the day. The Moon provides light for Earth at night; the Moon gets its light from the reflection of light from the sun. When the sun and moon are aligned, there are exceptionally strong gravitational forces, causing very high and very low tides which are called spring tides, though they have nothing to do with the season. When the sun and moon are not aligned, the gravitational forces cancel each other out, and the tides are not as dramatically high and low. These are called neap tides. Spring tide Neap tide The Moon completes its orbit around the Earth in approximately 27.3 days (a sidereal month). It is like the Moon and Earth are having a race. The Earth moves 45 million miles around the Sun, while the Moon still has to catch up to orbit the Earth. The Moon takes 27.3 days to orbit Earth, but the lunar phase cycle (from new Moon to new Moon) is 29.5 days Moon Phases: The Moon has phases because it orbits the Earth, which causes the portion we can see to be illuminated Eclipse: when the shadow of one celestial body fulls on another Lunar eclipse: when the Earth comes between the Sun and the Moon; the shadow falls on the Moon. Solar eclipse: when the Moon comes between the Earth and Sun; the shadown of the Moon falls on the part of Earth. Annular eclipse: then ring of sunlight shows around the outer edge of the Moon. Eclipses: Review questions: 1. What is a Spring Tide? When the sun and moon are aligned causing high and low tides. 2. What is a Neap Tide? When the sun and moon are not aligned causing the gravitaional forces to cancel each other out. This causes dramatically low tides. 3. Which one orbits Sun, moon, or Earth? Moon orbits around the Earth Like the Earth, the Moon is a sphere which is always half illuminated by the Sun, but as the Moon orbits the Earth we get to see more or less of the illuminated half. During each lunar orbit (a lunar month), we see the Moon's appearance change from not visibly illuminated through partially illuminated to fully illuminated, then back through partially illuminated to not illuminated again. The phases designate both the degree to which the Moon is illuminated and the piece appearance of the illuminated part. These phases of the Moon, in the sequence of their occurrence (starting from New Moon), are listed below. New Moon - The Moon's unilluminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon is not visible (except during a solar eclipse). Waxing Crescent - The Moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing. First Quarter - One-half of the Moon appears to be illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing. Waxing Gibbous - The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is increasing. Full Moon - The Moon's illuminated side is facing the Earth. The Moon appears to be completely illuminated by direct sunlight. Waning Gibbous - The Moon appears to be more than one-half but not fully illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing. Last Quarter - One-half of the Moon appears to be illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing. Waning Crescent - The Moon appears to be partly but less than one-half illuminated by direct sunlight. The fraction of the Moon's disk that is illuminated is decreasing. The Sun is the source of energy and light for all the planets. Each planet has its own position around the solar system. The Earth happens to be the third planet away from the Sun. There are currently eight planets; there used to be nine until they discovered Pluto was not a planet. Review questions: 1. What is the difference between a solar eclipse and a lunar eclipse? Lunar eclipse is when the Earth comes between the moon and the Sun, and in the solar eclipse the moon comes between Sun and Earth. 2. What moon phase comes right after the New moon? waxing cresent 3. Draw a diagram of the wanning cresent. Our seasons are created by the Earth spining on its axis.

Chablis Wine Regions Chablis Chablis Wine Chablis is an historic wine-producing town in northern-central France . It produces light, dry white wines famed for their minerality and crisp acidity. AOC Chablis wines are produced exclusively from Chardonnay . Chablis is located in northern Burgundy (Bourgogne), although the town and its vineyards are located a considerable distance (more than 60 miles/100 km) north-west of Burgundy's main wine-producing areas around Nuits-Saint-Georges, Beaune, Chalon-sur-Saone and Macon. They are in fact closer to Sancerre (Loire) and Les Riceys (southern Champagne). Consequently, Chablis has a cooler climate than the rest of Burgundy, which contributes significantly to the style of wine its vineyards produce. The effects of terroir on wine can be seen more clearly in Chablis than almost anywhere else. Vineyards in Chablis A key division within Chablis lies between terroirs with Kimmeridgian soils and those with Portlandian soils. Kimmeridgian soil is more highly regarded; it contains greater levels of mineral-rich clay, as well as the essential marine fossils which are responsible for its significant lime content. Kimmeridgian soils are the source of the trademark minerality in Premier Cru and Grand Cru wines from Chablis. By contrast, Portlandian soils are not so rich in clay and fossils, which results in slightly fruitier wines with a less mineral profile. Petit Chablis wines are most often grown in Portlandian soils. Chablis wines are made in a style rather different from those produced elsewhere in Burgundy. They are drier and fresher, rather than more weighty and richly flavored. Unlike typical Burgundian white wines, which are barrel fermented , Chablis is usually entirely free of any oak influence. Very few Chablis producers use oak barrels in their winemaking and the exceptions are restricted to the higher-quality wines, whose extra complexity and depth mean that the wines are not overpowered by oak flavors. The vineyards of Chablis are classified into four tiers of quality. Starting from the top, they are: Chablis Grand Cru, Chablis Premier Cru, Chablis and Petit Chablis. Wines which conform to the general Chablis appellation laws may claim the classification held by the vineyard where they were grown. The appellation AOC Chablis is the most prolific and geographically widespread of the four classifications. It was created in 1938 – at the same time as the Chablis Grand Cru appellation – to protect the Chablis name, which was being used around the world to describe wines bearing little resemblance to the real Chablis. Today, all wines carrying the Chablis title are dry whites made exclusively from Chardonnay. They must be produced from vineyards in a specifically designated area surrounding Chablis town and its nearby villages. Chablis Premier Cru is not a distinct appellation like the other three classifications, but rather a quality sub-division of the standard AOC Chablis title. Its geographical coverage is significantly larger than that of Chablis Grand Cru. There are 40 climats (vineyard sites) around Chablis which are deemed worthy of the Premier Cru title, and these are further subdivided into roughly 80 specific vineyards. The wines produced under this title are made according to quality controls that are halfway between those of the Chablis and Grand Cru Chablis appellations. Chablis Grand Cru wines are produced from just 250 acres (100ha) of vineyards planted on gentle south-west-facing slopes at the eastern edge of the town. There are seven named Grand Cru climats. Running from north to south along the Serein river they are: Preuses , Bougros , Vaudesir , Grenouilles , Valmur , Les Clos and Blanchot . Wines claiming the Grand Cru title are made under stringent regulations; the maximum permitted yield is lower than for standard Chablis, and the minimum potential alcohol one degree higher. Chablis Grand Cru wines respond well to bottle ageing for between 10 and 15 years. Petit Chablis is the least prestigious of the Chablis appellations. It was created in 1944 to cover th
In 1988, Apple sued Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard on the grounds that they infringed Apple's copyrighted GUI, citing (among other things) the use of rectangular, overlapping, and resizable windows. After four years, the case was decided against Apple, as were later appeals. Apple's actions were criticized by some in the software community, including the Free Software Foundation (FSF), who felt Apple was trying to monopolize on GUIs in general, and boycotted GNU software for the Macintosh platform for seven years.
Following the German unconditional surrender, Eisenhower was appointed Military Governor of the U.S. Occupation Zone, based at the IG Farben Building in Frankfurt am Main. He had no responsibility for the other three zones, controlled by Britain, France and the Soviet Union, except for the city of Berlin, which was managed by the Four-Power Authorities through the Allied Kommandatura as the governing body. Upon discovery of the Nazi concentration camps, he ordered camera crews to document evidence of the atrocities in them for use in the Nuremberg Trials. He reclassified German prisoners of war (POWs) in U.S. custody as Disarmed Enemy Forces (DEFs), who were no longer subject to the Geneva Convention. Eisenhower followed the orders laid down by the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in directive JCS 1067, but softened them by bringing in 400,000 tons of food for civilians and allowing more fraternization. In response to the devastation in Germany, including food shortages and an influx of refugees, he arranged distribution of American food and medical equipment. His actions reflected the new American attitudes of the German people as Nazi victims not villains, while aggressively purging the ex-Nazis.

The first centrally organised police force was created by the government of King Louis XIV in 1667 to police the city of Paris, then the largest city in Europe. The royal edict, registered by the Parlement of Paris on March 15, 1667 created the office of lieutenant général de police ("lieutenant general of police"), who was to be the head of the new Paris police force, and defined the task of the police as "ensuring the peace and quiet of the public and of private individuals, purging the city of what may cause disturbances, procuring abundance, and having each and everyone live according to their station and their duties".
Systole When the smaller, upper atria chambers contract in late diastole, they send blood down to the larger, lower ventricle chambers. When the lower chambers are filled and the valves to the atria are closed, the ventricles undergo isovolumetric contraction (contraction of the ventricles while all valves are closed), marking the first stage of systole. The second phase of systole sends blood from the left ventricle to the aorta and body extremities, and from the right ventricle to the lungs. Thus, the atria and ventricles contract in alternating sequence. The left and right atria feed blood, at the same time, into the ventricles. Then, the left and right ventricles contract simultaneously as well.
Here are the turnip seeds I will be planting. This variety of turnips is called 'Purple Top White Globe'. They are fairly common, and can be found at amazon.com. These turnip seeds need to be planted at a depth of 1/2-inch deep. I use my finger to poke holes in the soil that are about 1/2-inch deep. I am planting the turnips about 10 inches apart, which enables me to plant 20 turnip plants in this box with those measurements.

Australian dollar The Australian dollar (sign: $; code: AUD) is the currency of the Commonwealth of Australia, including its external territories Christmas Island, Cocos (Keeling) Islands, and Norfolk Island, as well as the independent Pacific Island states of Kiribati, Nauru, Papua New Guinea, Tonga, Tuvalu, and Vanuatu. Within Australia, it is almost always abbreviated with the dollar sign ($), with A$ or AU$ sometimes used to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies.[2][3] It is subdivided into 100 cents.
Led Zeppelin (album) Led Zeppelin is the eponymous debut studio album by English rock band Led Zeppelin. It was first released on 12 January 1969 in the United States and on 31 March 1969 in the United Kingdom by Atlantic Records. Featuring integral contributions from each of the group's four members, the album was recorded in October 1968 at Olympic Studios in London, and established their fusion style of both blues and rock music. It also attracted a large and devoted following to the band; Zeppelin's take on the emerging hard rock sound endeared them to parts of the counterculture on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean.
The 1970 United States Senate election in Florida was held on November 3, 1970. Incumbent Democratic U.S. Senator Spessard Holland decided to retire instead of seeking a fifth term. During the Democratic primary, former Governor C. Farris Bryant and State Senator Lawton Chiles advanced to a run-off, having received more votes than Speaker of the Florida House of Representatives Frederick H. Schultz, attorney Alcee Hastings, and State Representative Joel T. Daves, III. Chiles soundly defeated Bryant in the run-off election, scoring a major upset due to his comparatively small name recognition prior to the election. To acquire name recognition and media coverage, Chiles walked about 1003 mi across the state of Florida and was given the nickname "Walkin' Lawton".

Early progress toward the development of vaccines occurred throughout this period, primarily in the form of academic and government-funded basic research directed toward the identification of the pathogens responsible for common communicable diseases. In 1885 Louis Pasteur and Pierre Paul Émile Roux created the first rabies vaccine. The first diphtheria vaccines were produced in 1914 from a mixture of diphtheria toxin and antitoxin (produced from the serum of an inoculated animal), but the safety of the inoculation was marginal and it was not widely used. The United States recorded 206,000 cases of diphtheria in 1921 resulting in 15,520 deaths. In 1923 parallel efforts by Gaston Ramon at the Pasteur Institute and Alexander Glenny at the Wellcome Research Laboratories (later part of GlaxoSmithKline) led to the discovery that a safer vaccine could be produced by treating diphtheria toxin with formaldehyde. In 1944, Maurice Hilleman of Squibb Pharmaceuticals developed the first vaccine against Japanese encephelitis. Hilleman would later move to Merck where he would play a key role in the development of vaccines against measles, mumps, chickenpox, rubella, hepatitis A, hepatitis B, and meningitis.
Because the two nucleotide strands of DNA of DNA are antiparallel, replication takes place continuously on one strand (the leading stand) and discontinuously on the other ( the lagging strand). The short lengths of DNA produced by discontinous replication of the lagging strand are called Okazaki fragments. DNA Polymerase 1 cuts out the RNA primer and uses 5' to 3' polymerase activity to replace the RNA nucleotides with DNA nucleotides.
The main cause of TB is Mycobacterium tuberculosis, a small, aerobic, nonmotile bacillus. The high lipid content of this pathogen accounts for many of its unique clinical characteristics. It divides every 16 to 20 hours, which is an extremely slow rate compared with other bacteria, which usually divide in less than an hour. Mycobacteria have an outer membrane lipid bilayer. If a Gram stain is performed, MTB either stains very weakly "Gram-positive" or does not retain dye as a result of the high lipid and mycolic acid content of its cell wall. MTB can withstand weak disinfectants and survive in a dry state for weeks. In nature, the bacterium can grow only within the cells of a host organism, but M. tuberculosis can be cultured in the laboratory.
Ok, so here is plot of the price per month versus the data plan. From this plot we can see that the y-intercept is $65.33 and the slope is $5.42 per GB. You can also see that the jump in price from no data to 200 MB is crazy out of proportion.So, the $65.33 must be how much you pay for unlimited voice and text.et me just look at two â AT&T U-Verse (since that is what I have) and Comcast cable modem. 1 AT&T U-Verse lists internet only plans from $20 to $50 per month. 2 Let me go with the $30 a month plan. 3 This means you would be paying $3 per GB for your data.
Reporters in Chengdu said they saw cracks on walls of some residential buildings in the downtown areas, but no buildings collapsed. Many Beijing office towers were evacuated, including the building housing the media offices for the organizers of the 2008 Summer Olympics. None of the Olympic venues were damaged. Meanwhile, a cargo train carrying 13 petrol tanks derailed in Hui County, Gansu, and caught on fire after the rail was distorted.
Shelli Renee Yoder (born August 30, 1968) is an American Democratic Party politician. A former Miss Indiana titleholder and Miss America 1993 contestant, Yoder has held positions at a number of non-profit organizations. She was the Democratic Party nominee for the United States House of Representatives in Indiana's 9th congressional district in the 2012 race and is currently a member of the County Council for Monroe County, Indiana. In August 2015, Yoder announced she would run for Indiana's 9th congressional district in 2016. The 9th was an open seat due to incumbent Todd Young running for the United States Senate. Yoder was defeated by Republican nominee Trey Hollingsworth in the November 8, 2016, general election.
Many students are involved in community service in one form or another. Annual events include Dance Marathon, a thirty-hour event that raised more than a million dollars for charity in 2011; and Project Pumpkin, a Halloween celebration hosted by the Northwestern Community Development Corps (NCDC) to which more than 800 local children are invited for an afternoon of games and sweets. NCDC's work is to connect hundreds of student volunteers to some twenty volunteer sites in Evanston and Chicago throughout the year. Many students have assisted with the Special Olympics and have taken alternative spring break trips to hundreds of service sites across the United States. Northwestern students also participate in the Freshman Urban Program, a program for students interested in community service.

"The Fight of the Century" Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali Mar 8 1971"The Fight of the Century" Joe Frazier vs Muhammad Ali Fight of the Century was the promotional nickname given to the first boxing match between champion Joe Frazier (26-0, 23 KOs) and challenger Muhammad Ali (31-0, 25 KOs), held on March 8, 1971 at New York's Madison Square Garden. The two fighters were the subject of numerous magazine cover stories and TV documentaries. They were guaranteed purses of $2.5 million each, then a record for a single prizefight. By the evening of the match, Madison Square Garden had a circus-like atmosphere, with scores of policemen to control the crowd, outrageously dressed fans, and countless celebrities, from Norman Mailer and Woody Allen to Frank Sinatra, who took photographs for Life magazine. Artist Le Roy Neiman painted Ali and Frazier as they fought. Burt Lancaster served as a color commentator for the closed-circuit broadcast. Even though Lancaster had never performed as a sports commentator before, he was hired by the fight's promoter Jerry Perenchio, who was also a friend of his. The other commentators were play-by-play announcer Don Dunphy and boxing champion Archie Moore. The fight itself exceeded even its promotional hype. Ali dominated the first three rounds, peppering the shorter Frazier with rapier-like jabs that raised welts on the champion's face. Frazier began to dominate in the fourth, catching Ali with several of his famed left hooks and pinning him against the ropes to deliver tremendous body blows. The fight was about even until late in round 11, when Frazier caught Ali, backed into a corner, with a crushing left hook that almost floored Ali, sending him falling into the ropes. Ali managed to survive the round, but from then on Frazier seemed to come back in the next three rounds. At the end of round 14 Frazier held a lead on the three scorecards. Early in round 15, Frazier landed a spectacular left hook that put Ali on his back (for only the third time in his career). Ali, his right jaw swollen grotesquely, got up from the blow quickly, and managed to stay on his feet for the rest of the round despite several terrific blows from Frazier. A few minutes later the judges made it official: Frazier had retained the title with a unanimous decision, dealing Ali his first professional loss. Ali was visibly tired after the 6th round, and though he put together some flurries of punches after that round, he was unable to keep the pace he had set in the first third of the fight. This was the most crushing defeat for Ali. He was still in his prime and took many hard blows to the head and body. Ali would not win another world title fight until three and a half years later, on October 30, 1974. The only time that Ali looked worse was in the Larry Holmes fight. In that fight Ali was 38 and was defeated by Larry Holmes as Ali's corner threw in the towel after the 10th round. Ali and Frazier fought twice more, Ali winning both encounters. The last of these was the 1975 Thrilla in Manila, which, like the first bout, won the Ring Magazine fight of the year award and many other honors. Both boxers are in the International Boxing Hall of Fame.

'Do you want to watch'? Silly question, of course I did. The build up to this event had been going on for weeks now and even at the tender age of 8, I knew something was going on. Sleep was hard to come by that night, since I was too afraid that she would not wake me as promised. The new TV set was humming, purchased for just this occasion and whilst it was not quite clear to me who these guys were, I remember the excitement as if it was yesterday. I had the seat of honor in between my parents, wrapped into a warm blanket and my eyes glued to the black and white screen. Excitement from half a world away and a day earlier on the calendar, filled our living room. My Dad pointed to a man struggling with a big camera. 'That's Frank Sinatra'. The announcer was introduced as Burt Lancaster as the camera swayed over to Norman Mailer and Woody Allen, names that at the time meant nothing to me. Glaring lights, announcements in a then unfamiliar language - I was struck with awe - and there they were. Two hulking men, one tall, one short, dancing on their feet whilst the crowd was going crazy. Suddenly a bell went off and the taller man, who I was to learn was Muhammad Ali formerly known as Cassius Clay, shot out of his corner towards Joe Frazier. It scared and excited me at the same time. The two athletes were going at each other in what looked to my 8 year old eyes like a dangerous dance. During those magical moments my first career choice ripened in my head - I was going to become the first female boxing champion. My Dad explained the fundamentals to me, the fight was split up in rounds, each lasting 3 minutes. To me it seemed much longer at the time. I was worried of the smaller man, my favorite, being hurt. But Joe Frazier stood his ground. The match kept going, round after round, I was getting tired but was unable to stop watching, routing and screaming for Mr Frazier to win.

Although blood glucose levels of 110mg/dl can be normal, this is only the case if a meal has been taken within 2 to 3 hours.nsulin is secreted by the beta cells of the pancreas in response to high blood sugar, although a low level of insulin is always secreted by the pancreas. After a meal, the amount of insulin secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.
On September 11, 2001, 53 Army civilians (47 employees and six contractors) and 22 soldiers were among the 125 victims killed in the Pentagon in a terrorist attack when American Airlines Flight 77 commandeered by five Al-Qaeda hijackers slammed into the western side of the building, as part of the September 11 attacks. Lieutenant General Timothy Maude was the highest-ranking military official killed at the Pentagon, and the most senior U.S. Army officer killed by foreign action since the death of Lieutenant General Simon B.

Related News The governorship candidate of the Zenith Labour Party (ZLP) in the 2019 election in Oyo State, Sharafadeen Alli, on Wednesday accused Governor Seyi Makinde of abandoning his party after it helped him to win the election. Mr Alli spoke through a statement he personally signed, a copy of which was made available to Premium Times in Ibadan, the state capital. ZLP was one of the political parties that formed an alliance with Mr Makinde’s Peoples Democratic Party (PDP) to defeat the candidate of the then ruling All Progressives Congress (APC), Adebayo Adelabu, in the March 9, 2019 election. Other parties in the coalition were the African Democratic Congress (ADC) and the Social Democratic Party (SDP). The coalition was coordinated by a former governor of the state, Rashidi Ladoja. But, nine months after the agreement, Mr Alli accused the governor of failure to fulfil his promises to the ZLP. He said the governor has denied the ZLP political patronage, in alleged repudiation of the agreement between them. “A man’s word should also be his bond,” Mr Alli said. “The governor should go into retrospect and review our 2019 political coalition agreement. Our party, the ZLP had been largely abandoned and relegated in the scheme of things, especially political patronage. The governor should seize this moment and do the needful. I wish him the best as he pilots the affairs of our state.” While commending Mr Ladoja for being a father to all, Mr Alli also prayed that God grant all the traditional rulers in the state: the Alaafin of Oyo; Olubadan of Ibadan; Soun of Ogbomoso and others, more strength to guide their respective domains to continuous peaceful coexistence. Olufemi Lanlehin, the ADC gubernatorial candidate, had in November accused the governor of failing to fulfil any of the promises made to him as contained in an agreement they reached. Phone calls and text messages to Taiwo Adisa, the chief press secretary to Mr Makinde, were not responded to.

V&A The Origin of Popular Pantomime Stories Frontispiece for 'Jack and the Beanstalk', published by JL Marks, London, 1850s. Museum no. MB.JACB.MA, © Victoria and Albert Museum, London Pantomime text for 'jack and the Beanstalk' at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, 1899. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London In the 19th century topical subjects began to be included in pantomime stories. 'The Birth of the Steam Engine or Harlequin Locomotive and Joe Miller and his Men' was a pantomime that appeared shortly after the first railway engine made its journey from Stockton to Darlington. By the 1840s the subject matter of Harlequinades had become more and more nonsensical. Pantomimes such as 'Harlequin and the Tyrant of Gobblemupandshrunkemdowno', and 'The Doomed Princess of the Fairy Hall with Forty Blood-red Pillars', told imaginative stories dominated by tomfoolery and slapstick. By the 1870s the fashion for Harlequinades was dying out and most pantomimes were drawing on fairy tales and nursery rhymes such as 'Aladdin', 'Cinderella', and 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears'. Pantomime writers In 1843 a Parliamentary Act stipulated that any theatre could now produce a play containing spoken dialogue. Before this date only some theatres were granted such a licence. Harlequin chase scenes were mimed, so theatres had been able to produce pantomime without the appropriate theatre licences. After this law was passed new writers began to script pantomimes. Two writers predominated in London pantomimes, Henry James Byron and James Robinson Planché. H.J. Byron had introduced burlesques into the theatre, and was a theatre manager and a playwright. Both writers specialised in puns or word play, a tradition that continues into pantomime today. Planche's stories, originally written in the 18th century included 'Sleeping Beauty', 'Little Red Riding Hood', 'Bluebeard' and 'Puss in Boots'. Pantomime stories Stories derived from English folk tales or ballads include: 'Dick Whittington and his Cat', 'Robinson Crusoe', 'Babes in the Wood', 'Robin Hood', 'St George and the Dragon', and 'Little Goody Two Shoes'. The stories derived from Madam d'Aulnoy's 1721 tales published in France include 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', and a version of 'Cinderella'. Several pantomime stories come from the book The Arabian Nights, which was first published in the UK between 1704 and 1714: 'Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves', 'Aladdin', and 'Sinbad the Sailor'. 'Mother Goose' comes from French poet and essayist Charles Perrault who wrote a book of the same name dedicated to the King of France's niece. 'Cinderella' is one of the tales in this book. Cinderella Lillian Stanley as Cinderella, published in The Sketch Magazine, 20th January, 1897. Museum no. 131655, © Victoria and Albert Museum, London Newspaper illustration of a scene from Cinderella at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane, London, from 'The Illustrated Sporting and Dramatic News', 1875. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London Finale of Cinderella at the Birmingham Hippodrome, 1995-6. © Victoria and Albert Museum, London The story of Cinderella appears in many countries from Romania to Scandinavia. One version of it can be traced back to Madame d'Aulnoy's Fairy Tales published in 1721. The story was originally called 'The Story of Finetta, the Cinder Girl'. The first stage appearance of the story in England was at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane in 1804 as part of the 'New Grand Allegorical Pantomime Spectacle'. This was written anonymously but based on a story by another French writer, Perrault, in Mother Goose's Rhymes. By 1820 the story of Cinderella had become a comic opera: Rossini's 'La Cenerentola'. This was the first version in which Cinderella's father was a Baron. It also featured Dandini, the prince's faithful servant. Just 12 weeks later the King's Opera in Covent Garden opened an Easter pantomime entitled 'Harlequin and Cinderella or the Little Glass Slipper'. This featured Baron Pomposini, and his wife was played by Grimaldi, the clown. It would be hard to imagine Grimaldi playing a serious role a
WACA Cricket Ground, Perth – Australia’s Stadiums – Tourism Australia Perth The WACA has been the home of cricket and other sports in Western Australia since the early 1890s. The WACA, nestled in the suburb of East Perth, has been the home of cricket in Western Australia since the early 1890s. WACA are the initials of its owners and operators, the Western Australian Cricket Association. Throughout its history, the ground has also been used for a range of other sports, including athletics carnivals, Australian Rules Football , baseball, soccer, Rugby League, Rugby Union and International Rules Football as well as major rock concerts. The WACA Ground was officially opened in 1893 with the first match played on the turf wickets in 1894. In 1907, the England XI first played Western Australia at the ground. Sir Donald Bradman played at the ground for the first time in 1932, attracting a crowd of more than 20,000 fans. The iconic WACA scoreboard from 1954 is still in operation. The ‘Test' Stand was built to celebrate the first Test Cricket match between Australia and England played at the WACA in 1970. The Rolling Stones performed at the WACA during their 1973 Pacific Tour. The Test Stand was later renamed the Inverarity Stand after Western Australian, South Australian and Australian cricket player John Inverarity. The Prindiville Stand was opened to commemorate the centenary of the WACA in 1985. Light towers were installed the following year allowing for night time sports such as day-night cricket matches to be played at the ground. The Lillee-Marsh Stand was built in 1988, Australia's bicentennial year, in honour of two of Australia's greatest cricketers. With capacity for up to 24,500 people, a crowd of 28,000 fans packed the stadium for the One Day International cricket match between Australia and South Africa in 1994. The largest crowd at the WACA of 34,317 attended to see the AFL Preliminary Final between the West Coast Eagles and the Melbourne Football Club in 1994. The Guinness World Record for the highest basketball shot in the world was thrown from one of the four flood-light towers at the WACA. The pitch at the WACA is regarded as one of the quickest and bounciest in the world. These characteristics, in combination with the afternoon sea-breeze called The Fremantle Doctor, have made the ground an attractive place for pace and swing bowlers. As at December 2012, four of the seven fastest Test centuries have been scored at the WACA. The WACA Museum located on-site features exhibits and memorabilia about Western Australian cricket. Guided tours of the museum are available on weekdays. The WACA is surrounded by historic Queens Park and Gloucester Park, the venue for horse trotting races. The gardens of Queens Gardens date back to in 1899 and are a wonderful spot for a picnic or stroll. Spend some time shopping and taking in the city's great attractions, galleries and museums or choose one of the many riverside restaurants for a delicious lunch of fresh local produce. Free CAT buses operate from Perth to the WACA Ground from various stops around the city. The entry gate is on Hale Street, near the corner of Nelson Crescent.

Master (form of address) Nancy Tuckerman, in the Amy Vanderbilt Complete Book of Etiquette, writes that in the United States, unlike the UK, a boy can be addressed as master only until age 12, then is addressed only by his name with no title until he turns 18, when he takes the title of Mr.,[3]:662 although it is not improper to use Mr. if he is slightly younger. Robert Hickey, deputy director of the Protocol School of Washington, states that "use of Master [as] an honorific when addressing boys is considered old fashioned outside of conservative circles."[4]
Madonna's emergence occurred during the advent of MTV; Chris Nelson from The New York Times spoke of pop artists like Madonna saying, "MTV, with its almost exclusively lip-synched videos, ushered in an era in which average music fans might happily spend hours a day, every day, watching singers just mouth the words." The symbiotic relationship between the music video and lip-syncing led to a desire for the spectacle and imagery of the music video to be transferred to live stage shows. He added, "Artists like Madonna and Janet Jackson set new standards for showmanship, with concerts that included not only elaborate costumes and precision-timed pyrotechnics but also highly athletic dancing. These effects came at the expense of live singing." Thor Christensen of The Dallas Morning News commented that while Madonna earned a reputation for lip-syncing during her 1990 Blond Ambition World Tour, she has subsequently reorganized her performances by "stay[ing] mostly still during her toughest singing parts and [leaves] the dance routines to her backup troupe ... [r]ather than try to croon and dance up a storm at the same time."

Systematic use of child labour was common place in the colonies of European powers between 1650 and 1950. In Africa, colonial administrators encouraged traditional kin-ordered modes of production, that is hiring a household for work not just the adults. Millions of children worked in colonial agricultural plantations, mines and domestic service industries. Sophisticated schemes were promulgated where children in these colonies between the ages of 5–14 were hired as an apprentice without pay in exchange for learning a craft. A system of Pauper Apprenticeship came into practice in the 19th century where the colonial master neither needed the native parents' nor child's approval to assign a child to labour, away from parents, at a distant farm owned by a different colonial master. Other schemes included 'earn-and-learn' programs where children would work and thereby learn. Britain for example passed a law, the so-called Masters and Servants Act of 1899, followed by Tax and Pass Law, to encourage child labour in colonies particularly in Africa. These laws offered the native people the legal ownership to some of the native land in exchange for making labour of wife and children available to colonial government's needs such as in farms and as picannins.

Herpes Simplex: Herpes Type 1 and 2 Herpes Simplex: Herpes Type 1 and 2In this Article What Causes Herpes Infections and Outbreaks? What Are the Symptoms of Herpes Simplex? How Is Herpes Simplex Diagnosed? How Is Herpes Simplex Treated? How Painful Is Herpes Simplex? Can Herpes Be Cured? Herpes simplex viruses -- more commonly known as herpes -- are categorized into two types: herpes type 1 (HSV-1, or oral herpes) and herpes type 2 (HSV-2, or genital herpes ). Most commonly, herpes type 1 causes sores around the mouth and lips (sometimes called fever blisters or cold sores ). HSV-1 can cause genital herpes, but most cases of genital herpes are caused by herpes type 2. In HSV-2, the infected person may have sores around the genitals or rectum. Although HSV-2 sores may occur in other locations, these sores usually are found below the waist. What Causes Herpes Infections and Outbreaks? Herpes simplex type 1, which is transmitted through oral secretions or sores on the skin, can be spread through kissing or sharing objects such as toothbrushes or eating utensils. In general, a person can only get herpes type 2 infection during sexual contact with someone who has a genital HSV-2 infection. It is important to know that both HSV-1 and HSV-2 can be spread even if sores are not present. Pregnant women with genital herpes should talk to their doctor, as genital herpes can be passed on to the baby during childbirth. For many people with the herpes virus, which can go through periods of being dormant, attacks (or outbreaks) can be brought on by the following conditions: Continue Reading Belowyou might like SLIDESHOWTreating & Preventing Cold Sores Besides being itchy and painful, cold sores make you feel self-conscious. This slideshow illustrates how to prevent and treat cold sores caused by the herpes virus. General illness (from mild illnesses to serious conditions)Fatigue Physical or emotional stress Immunosuppression due to AIDS or such medications as chemotherapy or steroids Trauma to the affected area, including sexual activity Menstruation What Are the Symptoms of Herpes Simplex? Symptoms of herpes simplex virus typically appear as a blister or as multiple blisters on or around affected areas -- usually the mouth, genitals, or rectum. The blisters break, leaving tender sores. How Is Herpes Simplex Diagnosed? Often, the appearance of herpes simplex virus is typical and no testing is needed to confirm the diagnosis. If a health care provider is uncertain, herpes simplex can be diagnosed with lab tests, including DNA -- or PCR -- tests and virus cultures. How Is Herpes Simplex Treated? Although there is no cure for herpes, treatments can relieve the symptoms. Medication can decrease the pain related to an outbreak and can shorten healing time. They can also decrease the total number of outbreaks. Drugs including Famvir, Zovirax, and Valtrex are among the drugs used to treat the symptoms of herpes. Warm baths may relieve the pain associated with genital sores.1 2 View All
Exchange traded funds (ETFs) are uniquely structured investment products that track indexes, or baskets of assets, including stocks, bonds, currencies, real estate and commodities. Because ETFs can cover a broad range of assets, they offer investors diversity from a single investment. When you purchase ETF shares, you are buying shares of a portfolio that tracks the yield and performance of its underlying asset(s). Like stocks, ETFs can be purchased on margin and sold short, and prices fluctuate throughout each trading session as shares are bought and sold on various exchanges.
River Severn The River Severn (Welsh: Afon Hafren, Latin: Sabrina) is a river in the United Kingdom. At about 220 miles (354 km), it is usually considered to be the longest in the UK.[4][5] It rises at an altitude of 2,001 feet (610 m) on Plynlimon, close to the Ceredigion/Powys border near Llanidloes, in the Cambrian Mountains of mid Wales. It then flows through Shropshire, Worcestershire and Gloucestershire, with the county towns of Shrewsbury, Worcester and Gloucester on its banks. With an average discharge of 107 m3/s (3,800 cu ft/s) at Apperley, Gloucestershire, the Severn is the greatest river in terms of water flow in England and Wales.

Sound localization Most mammals are adept at resolving the location of a sound source using interaural time differences and interaural level differences. However, no such time or level differences exist for sounds originating along the circumference of circular conical slices, where the cone's axis lies along the line between the two ears.

The Administrator of Prussia, the grandmaster of the Teutonic Order Maximilian III, son of emperor Maximilian II died in 1618. When Maximilian died, Albert's line died out, and the Duchy of Prussia passed to the Electors of Brandenburg, forming Brandenburg-Prussia. Taking advantage of the Swedish invasion of Poland in 1655, and instead of fulfilling his vassal's duties towards the Polish Kingdom, by joining forces with the Swedes and subsequent treaties of Wehlau, Labiau, and Oliva, Elector and Duke Frederick William succeeded in revoking king of Poland's sovereignty over the Duchy of Prussia in 1660. The absolutist elector also subdued the noble estates of Prussia.

Jones Last Name Origins. The origins of the last name âJonesâ can be traced back to the United Kingdom and more specifically, the countries of England and Wales. The Jones surname (last name) is derived from the English given name of âJohnâ or the Welsh names âSionâ or âIeuanâ. The surname âJonesâ is often times thought to have originated in Wales, but the earliest documented mention of âJonesâ is actually found in 13th century records for England. In Wales, the use of surnames (like âJonesâ) did not really begin until about the 16th century.
LED lamps have been advocated as the newest and best environmental lighting method. According to the Energy Saving Trust, LED lamps use only 10% power compared to a standard incandescent bulb, where compact fluorescent lamps use 20% and energy saving halogen lamps 70%. The lifetime is also much longer — up to 50,000 hours. A downside is still the initial cost, which is higher than that of compact fluorescent lamps.

Originally based on the English alphabet, ASCII encodes 128 specified characters into seven-bit integers as shown by the ASCII chart on the right. The characters encoded are numbers 0 to 9, lowercase letters a to z, uppercase letters A to Z, basic punctuation symbols, control codes that originated with Teletype machines, and a space. For example, lowercase j would become binary 1101010 and decimal 106. ASCII includes definitions for 128 characters: 33 are non-printing control characters (many now obsolete) that affect how text and space are processed and 95 printable characters, including the space (which is considered an invisible graphic:223).
Lent Lent (Latin: Quadragesima: Fortieth) is a solemn religious observance in the Christian liturgical calendar that begins on Ash Wednesday and ends approximately six weeks later, before Easter Sunday. The purpose of Lent is the preparation of the believer for Easter through prayer, doing penance, mortifying the flesh, repentance of sins, almsgiving, and self-denial.[1] This event is observed in the Anglican, Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, Lutheran, Methodist, and Catholic Churches.[2][3][4] Some Anabaptist and evangelical churches also observe the Lenten season.[5][6] Its institutional purpose is heightened in the annual commemoration of Holy Week, marking the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus, which recalls the tradition and events of the New Testament beginning on Palm Sunday, further climaxing on Jesus' crucifixion on Good Friday, which ultimately culminates in the joyful celebration on Easter Sunday of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.

Femur The femur (/ˈfiːmər/, pl. femurs or femora /ˈfɛmərə, ˈfɛmrə/[1][2]) or thigh bone, is the most proximal (closest to the hip joint) bone of the leg in tetrapod vertebrates capable of walking or jumping, such as most land mammals, birds, many reptiles such as lizards, and amphibians such as frogs. In vertebrates with four legs such as dogs and horses, the femur is found only in the hindlimbs. The head of the femur articulates with the acetabulum in the pelvic bone forming the hip joint, while the distal part of the femur articulates with the tibia and kneecap forming the knee joint. By most measures the femur is the strongest bone in the body. The femur is also the longest bone in the human body.

Widespread drought in North China, combined with the imperialist designs of European powers and the instability of the Qing government, created conditions that led to the emergence of the Righteous and Harmonious Fists, or "Boxers." In 1900, local groups of Boxers proclaiming support for the Qing dynasty murdered foreign missionaries and large numbers of Chinese Christians, then converged on Beijing to besiege the Foreign Legation Quarter. A coalition of European, Japanese, and Russian armies (the Eight-Nation Alliance) then entered China without diplomatic notice, much less permission. Cixi declared war on all of these nations, only to lose control of Beijing after a short, but hard-fought campaign. She fled to Xi'an. The victorious allies drew up scores of demands on the Qing government, including compensation for their expenses in invading China and execution of complicit officials.
Early writings on the subject tended to judge states by the realist criterion, as expressed by the historian A. J. P. Taylor when he noted that "The test of a great power is the test of strength for war." Later writers have expanded this test, attempting to define power in terms of overall military, economic, and political capacity. Kenneth Waltz, the founder of the neorealist theory of international relations, uses a set of five criteria to determine great power: population and territory; resource endowment; economic capability; political stability and competence; and military strength. These expanded criteria can be divided into three heads: power capabilities, spatial aspects, and status.

France and the Ottoman Empire, united by mutual opposition to Habsburg rule, became strong allies. The French conquests of Nice (1543) and Corsica (1553) occurred as a joint venture between the forces of the French king Francis I and Suleiman, and were commanded by the Ottoman admirals Barbarossa Hayreddin Pasha and Turgut Reis. A month prior to the siege of Nice, France supported the Ottomans with an artillery unit during the 1543 Ottoman conquest of Esztergom in northern Hungary. After further advances by the Turks, the Habsburg ruler Ferdinand officially recognized Ottoman ascendancy in Hungary in 1547.
Magellan: Missing in Action \| The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History The Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History Magellan: Missing in Action by Laurence Bergreen Ferdinand Magellan, celebrated as the first circumnavigator, has long been the orphan of history. Although he did not survive his famous voyage, Magellan became both an icon of exploration and an outcast—disowned by his native Portugal, which he abandoned in search of financial backing for his scheme to pioneer a route over sea to the Spice Islands, and by Spain, for whom he sailed. Ironically, had he survived the complete circumnavigation and returned to Seville in September 1522, he would not have been greeted with accolades or cheering throngs or recognition from young King Charles I of Spain. Instead, he would have faced trial for treason and the possibility of imprisonment or execution for sending several Spanish officers and members of the nobility to their deaths for mutiny during the voyage. The Spanish preferred to honor Sebastian Elcano, who succeeded him as the Captain General of the fleet, even though Elcano was a Basque, and thus as much an outsider as Magellan. The English viewed with appreciation and envy the imperialistic ambitions of Spain and Portugal and elevated Ferdinand Magellan (always pronounced with a hard “g” in England) to his status as a peerless explorer. King Charles sent out several Spanish expeditions designed to emulate Magellan’s circumnavigation, but they all met with misfortune. It was no accident, then, that Sir Francis Drake, the second circumnavigator (but the first to complete the journey himself), happened to be English. His voyage was part exploration and part piracy on behalf of Queen Elizabeth, reflecting the rising imperial ambitions of the English throne. Drake’s success—and England’s—rested on the shoulders of Magellan, and his vision of global trade and conquest by sea rather than by land struck a resounding chord in the British Isles. Because of the loss of his voyage’s logbooks, little is known of Magellan’s own views on his adventures or discoveries. Instead, his complex and contested feat is reflected in other documents illuminating his voyage. Although copious, these sources are often politically biased and self-serving, charged with the motives of those who kept them. Then there are the lacunae. Portugal, for instance, was entirely secretive about its exploration and discovery of distant parts of the world. Producing or even owning a map pertaining to exploration was illegal. When Christopher Columbus returned to Spain after his first voyage to the New World, he immediately set about writing letters to describe and publicize his exploits to his sponsors, Ferdinand and Isabella. If Columbus had sailed on behalf of Portugal, he would not have been given a forum; he would have been muzzled, his exploits known only to a few court insiders, and perhaps lost to history. As improbable as that sounds, consider the possibility that two Portuguese explorers, Estêvão Froes and João de Lisboa, located and explored what we now call the Strait of Magellan in South America several years before Magellan himself arrived. Unlike Magellan’s well-documented voyage, their journey was known mainly through a sketchy account that surfaced mysteriously in Germany, rather than through the expected official records. Even though Magellan sailed for Spain, the dead hand of Portuguese secrecy regarding exploration reached out to crush him as well. After his death in a tribal battle in the Philippines, the flagship of his fleet, Trinidad, was captured by the Portuguese as she attempted to return to Spain. They swiftly impounded all of Magellan’s personal logbooks, navigational instruments, and other items of interest. Some of those precious artifacts and documents eventually reached apparent safety in Lisbon, where scholars might have eventually been able to examine them, but on November 1, 1755, the disastrous Lisbon earthquake reduced the entire city to ruin, and the materials relating to Magellan’s voyage were lost.
