Read Image_of_the_English_Gentleman_in_Twentieth_Century_Literature_Ch1.pdf Chapter 1 The gentleman an elusive Term Women and Children First Gentleman a word simultaneously conjuring up diverse images, yet one so difficult to define. When we hear the term, we might think of Englishness; of class; of masculinity; of elegant fashions; of manners and morals. But we might also think of hypocrisy; of repression; of outdated behaviour befitting the characters of a Victorian novel, but which no longer holds any value in today's society. These conflicting images make it difficult to pinpoint the term `gentleman' in a definition. But where words seem inadequate, deeds can speak more clearly. When, on 15 April 1912, the Titanic sank, many of her male passengers acted out what it meant for them to be gentlemen, by refusing seats in the few lifeboats. Dan marvin was overheard calling to his new wife: `"It's all right, little girl ... you go and I'll stay a while"'; `"Be brave; no matter what happens, be brave", Dr. W.T. Minahan entreated Mrs Minahan as he stepped back ...'; Isidor Strauss declared that `"I will not go before the other men"'; the steel-heir Washington Augustus Roebling was last seen `leaning against the rail, light[ing] a cigarette and wav[ing] goodbye' after helping several ladies into the boats; and the writer and editor william T. Stead `retired to the first-class smoking room with a book'.1 Particularly powerful are the following examples: Benjamin guggenheim and his secretary gave away their lifebelts and `now stood resplendent in evening clothes. "We've dressed in our best ... and are prepared to go down like gentlemen"', eyewitnesses report them explaining. and mr. walter D. Douglas answered his wife's pleas to join her in a life-boat with only `"No ... I must be a gentleman"', a sentence which summarized all his values.2 These men lived and, more poignantly, died according to the rules of an ideal which had been in existence in Britain for centuries. It had changed and been modified over the ages, but it was still going strong by the time the Titanic went down, and held values which were understood, followed and admired albeit sometimes ridiculed as well all over the world. This book sets out to investigate the term `gentleman', and in particular its manifestations in the literature of the twentieth century. 1 All quotations from Walter Lord, A Night to Remember (london, 1978), pp. 83; 85; 86; 103. 2 Both quotations from Lord, A Night to Remember, pp. 104; 83. 4 The Image of the English Gentleman in Twentieth-Century Literature How to define the `Undefinable'? Before discussing presentations of the gentleman in literature, an attempt has to be made, if not to define, at least to illustrate the ideal. shirley robin letwin writes that `the "gentleman" conjures up images of frock coats, ancient vicarages, and well rolled lawns, of order and serenity'.3 The term gentleman is highly ambiguous and amorphous, and consequently almost impossible to pinpoint. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Hazlitt wrote that `what it is that constitutes the look of a gentleman is more easily felt than described. We all know it when we see it; but we do not know how to account for it'.4 In 1856, a contributor to Chamber's Journal pondered on `what a gentleman is supposed by different classes of people to be and not to be; how almost everybody has a particular and private account of him to give'.5 Philip Mason echoed this in 1982: `what was meant by this word [gentleman] is not at all easy to explain. It had different meanings in different mouths and the same person would use it in different senses.'6 Daniel Johnston wrote in 1901 for the Gentleman's Magazine that `the title of gentleman covers interpretations of a thousand shades, and is ... conveniently vague ...'.7 In 1925, Karel Capek noted that `what an English gentleman is cannot be stated concisely', and as late as 1965, Nikos Kazantzakis queried: "How can we define the gentleman?"

List of Test cricket hat-tricks A player has taken two hat-tricks in the same Test match only once. Playing for Australia against South Africa in the first match of the 1912 Triangular Tournament at Old Trafford, Manchester, England, leg spinner Jimmy Matthews took a hat-trick in South Africa's first and second innings, both taken on 28 May 1912. He completed both hat-tricks by dismissing South Africa's Tommy Ward.[4] Only three other cricketers have taken more than one Test hat-trick: Australian off spinner Hugh Trumble (two years apart, between the same teams at the same ground), Pakistani fast bowler Wasim Akram (just over a week apart, in consecutive matches between the same teams) and English fast bowler Stuart Broad. Three players have taken a hat-trick on their Test debut: English medium pace bowler Maurice Allom in 1930, New Zealand off-spinner Peter Petherick in 1976, and Australian pace bowler Damien Fleming in 1994.[3] Geoff Griffin took the fewest total Test wickets of any player who recorded a hat-trick, taking only eight wickets in his entire Test career.[3] During the match in which he took his hat-trick, Griffin was repeatedly called for throwing by the umpires and never bowled again in a Test match.[5] Australian Peter Siddle is the only bowler to take a hat-trick on his birthday,[6] and Bangladeshi off spinner Sohag Gazi is the only player to score a century and take a hat-trick in the same Test match.[7]

Appeal over Irish man who drowned with Kitchener in 1916 Appeal over Irish man who drowned with Kitchener in 1916 Metropolitan Police attempt to locate relatives of top official’s personal bodyguard Fri, Jun 3, 2016, 18:59 Updated: Fri, Jun 3, 2016, 19:02 Det Sgt Matthew McLoughlin from Ballycommin, Co Tipperary, was Kitchener’s personal protection officer when the HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank on June 5th, 1916 The Metropolitan Police in London has issued an appeal to find relatives of an Irish man who drowned with Lord Kitchener 100 years ago. Det Sgt Matthew McLoughlin from Ballycommin , Co Tipperary , was Kitchener’s personal protection officer when the HMS Hampshire hit a mine and sank on June 5th, 1916. McLoughlin was the only one of the Metropolitan Police’s royalty and specialist protection unit to die on duty during the first World War. He was born in Kilcommon , Co Tipperary, on February 6th, 1879, the son of a RIC man. He joined the Met Police in 1900 and the special branch in 1909. McLoughlin’s stock within Scotland Yard soared after he warned his superiors of a possible assassination plot against the Secretary of State for India Sir Curzon Wylie . His warning went unheeded and Wylie was assassinated in 1909. The Century Project Prior to becoming the personal protection officer for Kitchener, he had provided security for King Edward VII and King George V. Kitchener was appointed secretary of state for war in 1914, a cabinet position, and was Britain’s most senior soldier responsible for the recruitment of millions of volunteers to what became Kitchener’s army. French speaker McLoughlin accompanied Kitchener everywhere and was fluent in French. Kitchener was on his way to Russia to meet Czar Nicholas II to discuss tactics for the coming summer Allied offensive. He had an entourage of 11 with him including Leitrim-born diplomat Hugh James O’Beirne. The ship left Scapa Flow in the Orkney Islands on the afternoon of June 5th. It hit a German mine in heavy seas and all but 12 of the 662 men on board drowned including Kitchener. McLoughlin was well known in police circles. An obituary published after his death stated that he was “an exceptionally capable officer, possessed a good acquaintance with the French language and was noted for his discretion”. ADVERTISEMENT The Metropolitan Police still retain responsibility for the protection of the British royal family and senior members of the British government. The royalty and specialist protection command intends to name a room in its new headquarters in London after McLoughlin and are trying to track down his relatives. McLoughlin had one son Michael who appears to have emigrated to Venezuela in the 1920s and disappeared. Attempts by Scotland Yard to find surviving relatives have proved to be unsuccessful to date. If you believe you are a relative of any of the above, or have any information that might assist the Met in tracing a living relative, please email scott.hamer@met.police.uk and richard.roe@met.police.uk

Royal assent is sometimes associated with elaborate ceremonies. In the United Kingdom, for instance, the sovereign may appear personally in the House of Lords or may appoint Lords Commissioners, who announce that royal assent has been granted at a ceremony held at the Palace of Westminster. However, royal assent is usually granted less ceremonially by letters patent. In other nations, such as Australia, the governor-general merely signs the bill. In Canada, the governor general may give assent either in person at a ceremony held in the Senate or by a written declaration notifying parliament of his or her agreement to the bill.

Height is related to the pressure, yes. Time stated is the time it was tested for. It probably usually can last longer, although it's certified for 30 minutes. It's due to the fact that small amount of water goes through anyway, just not enough to cause damage within 30 minutes. Every (almost) material has some water diffusion through it, and definitely seams/glued parts.

Septima Poinsette Clark (May 3, 1898 – December 15, 1987) was an American educator and civil rights activist. Clark developed the literacy and citizenship workshops that played an important role in the drive for voting rights and civil rights for African Americans in the Civil Rights Movement. Septima Clark's work was commonly under appreciated by Southern male activists. She became known as the "Queen mother" or "Grandmother" of the Civil Rights Movement in the United States. Martin Luther King, Jr. commonly referred to Clark as "The Mother of the Movement". Clark's argument for her position in the Civil Rights Movement was one that claimed "knowledge could empower marginalized groups in ways that formal legal equality couldn't."

Henson in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Marisa Tomei in "The Wrestler" Director: DANNY BOYLE for "Slumdog Millionaire," Stephen Daldry for "The Reader," David Fincher for "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," Ron Howard for "Frost/Nixon," Gus Van Sant for "Milk” 2008 represented the continued rise of smaller studios and development companies, proven by the dominance of the Best Picture-winning independent film Slumdog Millionaire. The low-budget film was made for only $15 million, had no American superstars, lots of foreign-language dialogue, and it struggled to find a distributor. It also had a 'feel-good' theme and romantic sub-plot, a song/dance finale, an Oscar-winning song "Jai Ho," while at the same time exhibiting the extreme poverty of India. Its major competitor, the big-budget The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, was produced by a major studio (a co-production between Warner Bros. and Paramount), featured major stars, an extensive marketing campaign, a well-respected director, and expensive CGI-effects. And it suffered a record loss among films with 13 nominations -- it had the fewest wins for any film with that many nods. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, a Warner Bros./Paramount Film co-production Frost/Nixon, from Universal The Reader, from The Weinstein Company Slumdog Millionaire, from Fox Searchlight All five titles of the Best Picture-nominated films referred to the film's characters (this also occurred in 1964), and were mostly tales from the past. The Best Picture winner became more strongly favored as the Oscar season progressed: director Danny Boyle's dark horse crowd-pleasing Slumdog Millionaire (with 10 nominations and 8 wins), based on the novel Q and A by Vikas Swarup, about an impoverished, 18 year-old orphaned slum thief Jamal Malik (Dev Patel) who is arrested for cheating (presumably due to his unsavory, lower-class background), when only one question away from winning the top prize of 20 million rupees in the Indian version of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire"; the film's other wins included Best Director, Best Cinematography, Best Sound Mixing, Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Film Editing, Best Original Score, and Best Original Song ("Jai Ho"); [Note: Slumdog Millionaire was only the fifth film in the past 50 years to win without any acting nominations, repeating the feat of The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King (2003) , Braveheart (1995), The Last Emperor (1987), and Gigi (1958). It was one of only eleven films in all of Academy history that have won Best Picture without receiving a single acting nomination.] The other Best Picture nominees were: director David Fincher's sweeping 2 3/4ths hour, big-budget fantasy epic The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (with 13 nomin

During his life and especially in the first year after his death, several places were named after Tito. Several of these places have since returned to their original names, such as Podgorica, formerly Titograd (though Podgorica's international airport is still identified by the code TGD), and Užice, formerly Titovo Užice, which reverted to its original name in 1992. Streets in Belgrade, the capital, have all reverted to their original pre–World War II and pre-communist names as well. In 2004, Antun Augustinčić's statue of Broz in his birthplace of Kumrovec was decapitated in an explosion. It was subsequently repaired. Twice in 2008, protests took place in Zagreb's Marshal Tito Square, organized by a group called Circle for the Square (Krug za Trg), with an aim to force the city government to rename it to its previous name, while a counter-protest by Citizens' Initiative Against Ustašism (Građanska inicijativa protiv ustaštva) accused the "Circle for the Square" of historical revisionism and neo-fascism. Croatian president Stjepan Mesić criticized the demonstration to change the name. In the Croatian coastal city of Opatija the main street (also its longest street) still bears the name of Marshal Tito, as do streets in numerous towns in Serbia, mostly in the country's north. One of the main streets in downtown Sarajevo is called Marshal Tito Street, and Tito's statue in a park in front of the university campus (ex. JNA barrack "Maršal Tito") in Marijin Dvor is a place where Bosnians and Sarajevans still today commemorate and pay tribute to Tito (image on the right). The largest Tito monument in the world, about 10 m (33 ft) high, is located at Tito Square (Slovene: Titov trg), the central square in Velenje, Slovenia. One of the main bridges in Slovenia's second largest city of Maribor is Tito Bridge (Titov most). The central square in Koper, the largest Slovenian port city, is as well named Tito Square.

The GrandMother of Sh Mustafa Khan came to Jourian where they have already a temporary (Kula) Shelter in order to avoid havoc of plague. The temporary shelter came into permanent shelter as the land of Jourian was more fertile and near the River, so there was no scarcity of water. Sh Mustafa Khan constructed the pucca Well few feet east of Masjid near to his house and decided to live at Jourian. That was the beginning of a town which is called Jourian.

How I Met Your Mother The show's frame story depicts Ted (voice of Bob Saget, uncredited) verbally retelling the story to his son Luke (David Henrie) and daughter Penny (Lyndsy Fonseca) as they sit on the couch in the year 2030. This future-set frame is officially the show's "present day" and How I Met Your Mother exploits this framing device in numerous ways: to depict and re-depict events from multiple points of view; to set up jokes using quick and sometimes multiple flashbacks nested within the oral retelling; to substitute visual, verbal or aural euphemisms for activities Ted doesn't want to talk about with his children (sexual practices, use of illicit substances, vulgar language, etc.); and even to add some elements of humor: in the episode "How I Met Everyone Else", Ted describes his dates with a girlfriend whose name he has forgotten, leading all characters to act as though her given name were "Blah-Blah."

World Trade Center (1973–2001) The original World Trade Center was a large complex of seven buildings in Lower Manhattan, New York City, United States. It featured the landmark Twin Towers, which opened on April 4, 1973 and were destroyed in 2001 during the September 11 attacks. At the time of their completion, the Twin Towers — the original 1 World Trade Center, at 1,368 feet (417 m); and 2 World Trade Center, at 1,362 feet (415.1 m) — were the tallest buildings in the world. Other buildings in the complex included the Marriott World Trade Center (3 WTC), 4 WTC, 5 WTC, 6 WTC, and 7 WTC. The complex was located in New York City's Financial District and contained 13,400,000 square feet (1,240,000 m2) of office space.[4][5]

Reticular formation The ascending reticular activating system (ARAS), also known as the extrathalamic control modulatory system or simply the reticular activating system (RAS), is a set of connected nuclei in the brains of vertebrates that is responsible for regulating wakefulness and sleep-wake transitions. The ARAS is a part of the reticular formation and is mostly composed of various nuclei in the thalamus and a number of dopaminergic, noradrenergic, serotonergic, histaminergic, cholinergic, and glutamatergic brain nuclei.[2][10][11][12]

Grapes are a type of fruit that grow in clusters of 15 to 300, and can be crimson, black, dark blue, yellow, green, orange, and pink. "White" grapes are actually green in color, and are evolutionarily derived from the purple grape. Mutations in two regulatory genes of white grapes turn off production of anthocyanins, which are responsible for the color of purple grapes. Anthocyanins and other pigment chemicals of the larger family of polyphenols in purple grapes are responsible for the varying shades of purple in red wines. Grapes are typically an ellipsoid shape resembling a prolate spheroid.

Das Boot, The Background, Facts and Goofs Das Boot, The Background, Facts and Goofs SHARE: Facebook Twitter “Das Boot” is a 1981 German war film epic. Meaning “The Boat,” it is an adaptation of Lothar-Günther Buchheim’s 1973 German novel of the same name. Set in WWII, it tells the fictional story of the crew of the U-96. The film depicts both the excitement of battle as well as the tediousness of a fruitless hunt. It shows the life of the crew aboard the boat as regular individuals as well as patriots with a desire to do the best for both their comrades and the country. The screenplay was inspired in part by exploits of the real life U-96, a Type VIIC-class U-boat. Development work on Das Boot started in 1979. Several American directors were considered to helm the project before it was shelved. Heinrich Lehmann-Willenbrock, the actual captain of the real life U-96 and Hans-Joachim Krug, former first officer on U-219, served as consultants for the production of the film. The film was made on a budget of 32 million DM (approximately $18.5 million USD) and was released on September 17, 1981. A director’s cut of the film was later released in 1997 under Petersen’s supervision. The film grossed $80 million worldwide between its theatrical releases while also receiving critical acclaim. Due to its high production costs, Das Boot ranks among the top most expensive films ever in German cinematic history. A mock-up of the U-96 submarine was created for the movie to be shot in. The interior of the sub was mounted five meters off the floor. To simulate depth charge attacks the submarine set was shaken, rocked and tilted 45 degrees with a hydraulic apparatus and vigorously shaken. Petersen had a fanatical obsession with regard to the structural detail of the U-boat set. He pointed out that “every screw” was an authentic facsimile of the type used in WWII U-boats. To accomplish this impressive production feat he got help from numerous photographs provided by Lothar-Günther Buchheim who had taken them during U-96’s heyday during the war. The photographs were initially published in his 1976 memoir U-Boot-Krieg (“U-Boat War”). Marketed both by its German name Das Boot and in English as The Boat, the film was unusual in its promotion. With a very non-descript English name, Das Boot eventually stuck as the title for the film. The outdoor mock-up of U-96 was simply a shell propelled by a small engine which was stationed in La Rochelle, France. It has a history all its own. One morning the production crew arrived on set and went to where it was normally docked to find it missing. A breakdown in communication resulted in the crew not being informed it had been rented out by Steven Spielberg who was filming Raiders of the Lost Ark at the same time. Incredibly, just a few weeks later during production the mock-up was damaged and sank during a storm. Production crews recovered and patched the mock-up for the final scenes. The full-sized mock-up version was used for the filming of the Gibraltar surface scenes. The rockets and bomber plane, a Douglas SBD Dauntless dive bomber, were real. The British ships were models. All the cast members were fluent in English and dubbed themselves for the English version. While filming, the actors were not allowed to go out in sunlight to help create the pallor typical of submariners who seldom see the sun during missions. The actors were intensely trained as submariners learning how to quickly navigate their tight quarters. Continues on Page 2

Foreign involvement in the Spanish Civil War The United Kingdom proclaimed itself neutral; however, the British establishment were strongly anti-communist and tended to prefer a Nationalist victory. The ambassador to Spain, Sir Henry Chilton, believed that a victory for Franco was in Britain's best interests and worked to support the Nationalists. British Foreign Secretary Anthony Eden publicly maintained the official policy of non-intervention but privately expressed a preference for a Nationalist victory. Eden also testified that his government "preferred a Rebel victory to a Republican victory." [48] Admiral Lord Chatfield, British First Sea Lord at the time of the conflict, was an admirer of Franco and, with government support, the British Royal Navy favoured the Nationalists during the conflict.[49] As well as permitting Franco to set up a signals base in Gibraltar, a British colony, the Germans were allowed to overfly Gibraltar during the airlift of the Army of Africa to Seville. The Royal Navy also provided information on Republican shipping to the Nationalists, and HMS Queen Elizabeth was used to prevent the Republican navy shelling the port of Algeciras. The German chargé d'affaires reported that the British were supplying ammunition to the Republicans. During the fighting for Bilbao, the Royal Navy supported the Nationalist line that the River Nervión was mined, telling British shipping to keep clear of the area – and were badly discredited when a British vessel ignored the advice and sailed into the city, finding the river unmined as the Republicans had claimed.[49] Despite this, the British government discouraged activity by its ordinary citizens supporting either side.

Overview Overview Acupuncture was developed by traditional Chinese medical practitioners to treat a wide range of health problems. Once only used in Eastern cultures, it has gradually gained acceptance by medical professionals in the West. Acupuncture is now commonly used to treat everything from pain, stress, and nausea. Lesser-known uses, such as the treatment of allergies, are also gaining popularity. History of Acupuncture History of Acupuncture Acupuncture is an ancient practice that started in what is now China. It’s based on the belief that life energy, called qi, pronounced “chee,” flows throughout the body along pathways called meridians. By inserting thin needles at specific points, called “acupuncture points,” skilled practitioners seek to restore the flow of energy to eliminate pain and other ailments. Western medicine doesn’t accept the traditional explanation of acupuncture’s mechanism of action. No evidence that meridians exist has ever been documented by modern science, but despite ongoing questions regarding how it works, science has shown that at least in some instances, it does work. Pain relief is one example. Controlled clinical trials have shown that acupuncture can relieve pain, sometimes better than drugs, in conditions such as chronic lower back pain, migraines, neck pain, and post-operative pain. Allergies and Eczema Acupuncture and Allergies and Eczema What about using acupuncture for the treatment of allergies and eczema? Preliminary research indicates that acupuncture may help allergy and eczema symptoms. Researchers at the University Medical Center in Berlin conducted a large, multi-center study of the effectiveness of acupuncture for the treatment of seasonal allergic rhinitis, or hay fever. The study divided 422 people into three groups for two months: one group received acupuncture treatment, the second received “fake” acupuncture, with needles placed in random, meaningless spots on their bodies, and the third group only took antihistamines. At the end of the study, the group that received acupuncture therapy reported greater relief from symptoms than the other two groups. However, the group receiving the fake acupuncture treatment also reported relief of their symptoms, though not as much as the group receiving acupuncture. Furthermore, four months later, as a follow-up, the difference between the effectiveness of the real and fake acupuncture treatment groups was less pronounced. This suggests a placebo effect may have taken place with the people receiving acupuncture, in anticipation of its beneficial effects. In another study, researchers were unable to support or disprove the use of acupuncture as treatment for hay fever. Other studies have looked at the effectiveness of acupuncture as a treatment for atopic dermatitis. Atopic dermatitis, also called eczema, is an itchy rash that can be caused by irritants like soap or lotions. They found that acupuncture significantly reduced itchiness in some patients. They noted that preventative acupuncture did not work as well as concurrent acupuncture. Outlook Outlook In a review of published trials, researchers concluded that there is some evidence to support the claim that acupuncture is beneficial and cost-effective as an additional treatment for seasonal allergic rhinitis. However, at this time, there is insufficient evidence to conclude that acupuncture is effective as a stand-alone treatment. This conclusion echoes what other scientists who have previously reviewed the existing evidence have determined. So while the study results are promising, present evidence is mixed, at best. More studies are also needed to evaluate acupuncture as a treatment of eczema. If you’re interested in acupuncture therapy, start by talking to your doctor. They may be able to recommend a center or practitioner.

Calcium, Chemical Element - structure, reaction, water, uses, elements, examples, metal, gas CAL-cee-um Discovery and naming It is impossible to say when humans first knew about or used compounds of calcium. Whenever they used limestone to build a structure, they were using a compound of calcium. Limestone is the common name for calcium carbonate (CaCO 3 ). Whenever humans built a statue or monument out of marble, they were using calcium carbonate in another form. Ancient Egyptians and early Greeks used mortar, a cement-like material that holds stones and bricks together. Early mortar was made by roasting or heating limestone for long periods of time. Water was then mixed with the powder, which would then dry to form a strong bond. Humphry Davy | English chemist H umphry Davy (1788-1829) was a major contributor to the field of electrochemistry. This is the science involving the relation of electricity to chemical changes. He is best known for discovering calcium, sodium, potassium, magnesium, strontium, and barium. He also discovered nitrous oxide and two types of lamps. Davy grew up in Cornwall, England, in a poor family. His father, who died when Davy was a boy, had lost money in unwise investments, so Davy helped his mother pay off the debts. He disliked being a student, though he liked reading about science. In later life, he said he was happy he did not study too hard because he had more time to think on his own. With no money for further education, the 17-year-old Davy began to work for a surgeon-pharmacist. He also started learning on his own about other subjects that interested him, such as geography, languages, and philosophy. He even wrote poems that later earned him the respect and friendship of William Wordsworth, Samuel Coleridge, and other leading English poets of his time! At 19, Davy read a chemistry book by the famous French scientist Antoine-Laurent Lavoisier (1743-94). That book convinced him to concentrate on chemistry. For the rest of his life, Davy's career was marked by brilliant scientific explorations in chemistry and electrochemistry. Davy discovered nitrous oxide after testing the effects of hydrogen and carbon dioxide on himself. (He liked to use himself as a human guinea pig!) Nitrous oxide is a gas consisting of nitrogen and oxygen. While studying nitrous oxide gas, he discovered that its effects often made him feel very happy or very sad. The feeling of happiness eventually gave nitrous oxide another name: laughing gas. Most importantly, though, Davy recognized that it could be used as an anesthetic. An anesthetic is a chemical used to dull pain during minor surgery. In 1808, Davy invented the carbon arc lamp. He had proposed using carbon as the electrode material instead of metal. (Electrodes are conductors used to establish electrical contact with a nonmetallic part of a circuit.) With carbon electrodes, he made a strong electric current leap from one electrode to the other. This created an intense white light. Davy's invention marked the beginning of the era of electric light. Arc lamps are still used today. Using his knowledge of electricity, Davy built a large battery which he used to break down substances most scientists thought were pure elements. In 1807, he discovered the element potassium. He created this by using electrolysis. Electrolysis produces chemical changes by passage of an electric current through an electrolyte. An electrolyte is a nonmetallic electric conductor. Within a week he isolated sodium in a similar way. Then in 1808, he used a slightly modified method to isolate calcium, magnesium, barium, and strontium. Davy was only 29 by the time he had discovered all of these elements! Davy later invented the miner's lamp (n

Near the end of the NES's lifespan, upon the release of the AV Famicom and the top-loading NES 2, the design of the game controllers was modified slightly. Though the original button layout was retained, the redesigned device abandoned the brick shell in favor of a dog bone shape. In addition, the AV Famicom joined its international counterpart and dropped the hardwired controllers in favor of detachable controller ports. However, the controllers included with the Famicom AV had cables which were 90 cm (3 feet) long, as opposed to the standard 180 cm(6 feet) of NES controllers.

Longnor village in the Peak District Longnor village in the Peak District Longnor village in the Peak District Longnor village in the Peak District, is pretty and compact, and has an old world ambiance about it. Longnor sits high on the Staffordshire Moorlands with the river Dove to the east and the river Manifold to the west. Many of the the buildings were built of local stone mined at Daisy Knoll. Longnor was once a market centre for the region and has a little cobbled market square and a victorian market hall which dates back to 1873, but its ambition to be a thriving market town was hindered by the demise of the turnpikes and its lack of a railway link. Longnor hall is now a craft centre and coffee shop but it retains an inscription above the entrance, giving the tariffs of long forgotten market tolls. The church of St Bartholomew was rebuilt in the 18th century and stands on foundations at least 800 years old. It has an embattled western tower with pinnacles and contains a Norman font, though on the whole it is a rather grim looking building. Its churchyard contains the grave of a William Billings who following his birth in a cornfield, saw the capture of Gibralter, suffered wounds at the battle of Ramillies and later saw action against the Stuarts in both 1715 and 1745 and finally expired at a grand old age of 112 years. The village was once part of the Crewe and Harpur estate and one of the 4 pubs in the village bares that name. The other 3 are the Grapes, the Horseshoe Inn and the Cheshire Cheese. The Horsehoe Inn is the oldest, dating back to the 17th Century. More recently its facade was used as the exterior of the 'Black Swan' in ITV'S Peak Practice. Cheese was once made at Glutton Bridge near the village, and records show it was actually stored close to the site of today's Cheshire Cheese pub as far back as 1464. A shop called Heirs and Graces, a dolls hospital, is housed in a former Wesleyan chapel built in 1852, listed, and containing much of its original furniture, including its `flying` pulpit, choir stalls and pews. There is a small local industry in clock making, an art gallery, tea rooms and the village makes a good centre for exploring the upper reaches of the Manifold and Dove valleys. Edge Top is the old pack horse route between Flash and Longnor. It has been tarmac covered and provides a nice walk with marvellous views into the valleys below. The village is surrounded by some quite dramatic scenery making the area a magnet for walkers and cyclists. Longnor is home to the annual 'Longnor Sports' or 'Wakes races. This is a tradition going back to 1904 and always held on the first Thursday after the first Sunday in September. The event attracts thousands of visitors to Longnor and is held on Waterhouse Farm. It starts around noon with a gymkhana, followed by a series of harness races. This followed by a 'Golden Mile' fun run for all comers, then motorbike races and a final cross country hill race to round off the day. Accommodation around Longnor Monks Retreat Holiday Cottages - Spacious, beamed, quiet but not too isolated, lovingly maintained, and overlooking some of the most spectacular scenery in the Peak Park, the cottages are situated where Millers Dale meets Monks Dale - a conservation area of outstanding natural beauty, renowned for its excellent walking with a network of paths leading directly from the door. There are paths of all grades from very easy to more challenging past towering limestone cliffs and along peaceful rivered dales. Our farm trail leads to a ridge walk with views of 7 dales. Read more at Monks Retreat Holiday Cottages Other places of interest in the area Crowdecote is an attractive hamlet on the Derbyshire bank of the upper Dove. It has a pub called the Pack Horse Inn, which does B/B and has great views, including that of Chrome Hill and Packhorse Hill, which are as close to mountains as one gets in the Peak District. Hollinsclough was once had a cottage silk weaving industry, supplying the 18th century silk mills in Macclesfield but now makes an excellent centre f

Art Term - Stippling Arts, Music, and Recreation ›Visual Arts Art Term - Stippling Share Flipboard Email Print Pointillism. Hill Street Studios / Getty Imagesby Shelley Esaak Updated October 30, 2017As a transitive verb, the act of stippling involves covering an area with dots. What comes right to mind is a wildly time-consuming technique, done with a technical pen and ink (usually black), in which an image is drawn dot by dot by dot. (One may also stipple glass, an engraving plate, a quilt, or even an interior wall. )The resulting image contains no lines. It is a collection of dots, strategically placed to suggest forms, shapes, contrast, and depth. It is left to the viewer's eye to complete the picture—a proposition which seldom fails. Stippling is also the manual forerunner of Benday dots and halftones. (For you young'uns out there, these were graphic image tools employed before the advent of the computer pixel. )Pointillism is a close relative of stippling, in which the artist, using brushes and different colors of paints, creates an entire composition out of dots. As a noun in this instance, stippling is what one sees, and is the end result of someone using stippling as a verb.cite

Ocean An ocean (from Ancient Greek Ὠκεανός, transc. Okeanós, the sea of classical antiquity[1]) is a body of saline water that composes much of a planet's hydrosphere.[2] On Earth, an ocean is one of the major conventional divisions of the World Ocean. These are, in descending order by area, the Pacific, Atlantic, Indian, Southern (Antarctic), and Arctic Oceans.[3][4] The word sea is often used interchangeably with "ocean" in American English but, strictly speaking, a sea is a body of saline water (generally a division of the world ocean) partly or fully enclosed by land.[5]

In this unusual breeding cycle, king penguins usually only average one chick every two years or at most two in a three year cycle. The king penguin is restricted in range to ice free areas as a consequence of having to feed its chick through the winter. How do King penguins live their lives? King penguins leave the colony where they were born when they have fledged fully and so are able to swim in the sea and catch their own food. They cannot go into the water until they have lost their fluffy brown juvenile down that is an excellent insulator in the air, but a very poor insulator when wet.

Lyrica cost without insurance Lyrica cost without insurance Common Questions and Answers about Lyrica cost without insurancelyrica A couple of years ago my PCP gave me Lyrica for the limboland stabbing foot pain I was having. After I worked up to a fairly high dose (it does have to be worked up to), it took the edge off the pain, that's all. I think it's so individual that there's no saying how it would work for you. Lyrica is considered 'Son of Neurontin,' for what that's worth, and generally is less hard on the body. Years ago I had a good bit of Neurontin and had a muscle constantly jumping to a boogie beat. Read Morehi they charged my insurance over $10,000 for the mri I also take lyrica and I have a $ 40 copay for a month supply Read More It is the one med I make sure I NEVER go without.

I work out and have to walk everywhere due to I have lost a lot fo my vision and I am back in school studyingprelaw. Read More WONKO - It really irks me that insurance companies can pick and choose what they will cover or not cover and Lyrica as many have mentioned is not a cheap drug. I read the list cost for it when I picked up the script and it was $145. That would make a huge dent in my budget, but if it works for then its worth it. KATHY - Thanks for your 2-cents worth. I'm just curious... Is there a reason that you take the 50mg 3 times a day? Does it keep the pain under better control? Read More I will be having surgery fairly soon and have been referred to a new neurosurgeon for this. He has started me on Lyrica. The pain has been very bad for almost a year as the vertebra crumbled and I have taken Lortabs and Percocets now and again but they do not sit well on my stomach and most times I would rather just lay here and moan, lol. My prescription for the Lyrica is to start with 50mg once a day for 2 weeks and then go to 2 a day. Tomorrow is the end of my first week. Read More A few months ago I went through the appeal process to get my insurance to approve Lyrica. Basically, after a few phones calls and having my Doctor fill out a short questionaire - I was approved. Unfortunately, it turned out that I could not handle the side effects and stopped taking it altogether. : ( I totally understand your frustration and hope you can get this resolved. Also, I would shoot for 200 mg/day - you can always cut back if you need to!Read More I'm STILL trying to get Lyrica covered on my insurance! I can't afford the $125.00 that it would be without insurance. I was up to 400mg 200 x a day, and it was really helping me a lot. I'm down to 200mg a day now, but still get a lot of pain. I may have to go back to neurontin after all. Maybe I have been off of it for long enough for it to work for me again. Good luck on trying it, but be sure to increase slowly. Starting on weekend was a great idea. Read More Is it possible to be diagnosed with shingles without having an external rash? The pain is on my left side only in a band near my waist line.

I am on SSDI because I had a right frontal large meningioma (brain tumor) removed in 2005 which left me disabled.

Can anyone help me figure out how to stop taking this med without losing my mind? Read More I'm beginning to get the pain back and I'm having a difficult time with my insurance company approving each time I refill the Lyrica ... Too much and I am tired and in pain!Read More Have your doctor prescribe your normal dose, which hopefully your insurance covers, and then take those standard-dose pills to the compounding pharmacy, and they will charge you to make custom doses out of them. The total cost for the custom Lyrica capsules was about $200, and for the Savella it was like $120. If your compounding pharmacy requires a note from your doctor, have your doctor write one up.

So now I have let myself down. I swear, I hate this stuff!! I hate it so much. Read More Hi Pat i am so glad you posted and I am sorry you are having medical issues and the cost of Lyrica . In US Walgreens has a prescription card savings club you pay 20$ a year and it reduces your RX 50%-75% even more on some meds its a Godsend . I am not sure if Canada has this but check into it. I use it and the card paid for itself the first use. Also the Lyrica website maybe could give you help with options also.

Lyrica is a medication that helps with neuropathic pain relating to nerve issues and the Central Nervous System (CNS).

I have the same kind of Fibro. Read More I have been recommended by 2 pain management doctors to have a spinal implant to block the pain. I have been taking Lyrica successfully for 4 months.

Read More I don't believe I could get up and make it through the day without it. My insurance co. wouldn't approve it at first and I had to go through their hoops (luckily I used to limbo so it wasn't too hard) and take OTHER STUPID stuff first before they approved it. I took Ritalin, Adderall, and one other "ADD medicine" before they approved the Provigil. I haven't tried the nuvigil since the provigil works, and the neuro hasn't suggested it.

I would greatly appreciate any answers that anyone in the know might offer. Read More If you have good health insurance, Lyrica is expensive, but numbs pain, one of your neurologists should be willing to try it out with you. Codeine type drugs short-term help a lot, too, and they don't cost much, but docs don't like prescribing them. I'm assuming if you have nerve compression, that the neurologists you've seen believe that with physical therapy, it will resolve on its own, so hopefully you are seeing some rehab people for that. Read More I do hope you will talk it over with your doctor and see if it is something that might be worth trying. As for the cost, if you have insurance, Accorda has a plan that no one should have to pay more than $40 per month. That is not a trial offer, but an ongoing on.

What is CPG? What is CPG? October 11, 2014 , cherrie , Comments Off CPG stands for consumer packaged goods. It is a type of commodity that consumers use or consume every day. Those that fall under the category of CPG are in need of constant replacement unlike other products that users can use for a long time. Marketing CPG is often tricky since there are many similar products on the market and because of consumer behavior. Consumers of CPG may switch to similar products because of a more competitive pricing scheme. The CPG market A consumer product good includes clothing, beverage and food tobacco and household products, to name a few. The CPG is a very competitive industry but a large one. For example, in Northern America, CPG has a value of around $2 trillion. Retail vs. CPGMany people get confused over consumer product goods and retail. Retail pertains to the selling of the products to the consumers or users. CPG, on the other hand, is broader since CPG’s composition includes the sellers and manufacturers of the physical product which later on is sold by the retailers. The popular retailers are Costco, Target, Walmart and Amazon, to name a few, and all of them sell CPG. Simply put, a retailer can be found at the end of the supply chain, but the CPG firm is one step below the end process since they manufacture the goods. CPG firms also sell their products, but they sell in bulks or in wholesale. There are good examples of CPG firms such as the large ones like Unilever, Proctor and Gamble, Clorox and Johnson and Johnson. These firms manufacture every day products like soap, household items, among others. There are also some CPG companies that also act as retailers since they manufacture and sell their products on their stores. Examples of companies that manufacture and sell in their stores include high-end brands like Prade, Dolce & Gabanna, DKNY, Nike and Adidas just to name a few.

New Testament The New Testament is a collection of Christian works written in the common (Koine) Greek language of the first century, at different times by various writers, and the modern consensus is that it also provides important evidence regarding Judaism in the first century AD.[1] In almost all Christian traditions today, the New Testament consists of 27 books. The original texts were written in the first and perhaps the second centuries of the Christian Era, in Greek, which was the common language of the Eastern Mediterranean from the Conquests of Alexander the Great (335–323 BC) until the Muslim conquests in the 7th century AD. All the works that eventually became incorporated into the New Testament are believed to have been written no later than around 120 AD,.[2][3][better source needed] John A. T. Robinson, Dan Wallace, and William F. Albright dated all the books of the New Testament before 70 AD.[4] Others give a final date of 80 AD,[5] or at 96 AD.[6]

Cold War In early 1947, France, Britain and the United States unsuccessfully attempted to reach an agreement with the Soviet Union for a plan envisioning an economically self-sufficient Germany, including a detailed accounting of the industrial plants, goods and infrastructure already removed by the Soviets.[79] In June 1947, in accordance with the Truman Doctrine, the United States enacted the Marshall Plan, a pledge of economic assistance for all European countries willing to participate, including the Soviet Union.[79] Under the plan, which President Harry S. Truman signed on 3 April 1948, the US government gave to Western European countries over $13 billion (equivalent to $189.39 billion in 2016) to rebuild the economy of Europe. Later, the program led to the creation of the Organisation for European Economic Co-operation.

The Duggar family always has a big year and 2019 was no exception. Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar’s brood of 19 welcomed in four grandchildren. So, what will 2020 hold for the “Counting On” stars? Here are our predictions in regards to possible future courtships and pregnancy announcements for the family in the new year.
Courtships
For years, fans of the Duggars have predicted when the oldest Duggar daughter, Jana, will enter into a courtship. Could 2020 be her year? The 29-year-old (who turns 30 on Jan. 12) just saw her twin brother, John-David Duggar, recently get married, so now could be her time. After all, she has been in at least four rumored courtships since 2017. Last year, she even revealed she has been in relationships before, they were just not publicly announced.
Jana isn’t the only Duggar who could soon enter into an official courtship. Her brothers, twins Jeremiah and Jedidiah Duggar, just turned 21. In October, fans suspected Jedidiah may be making a courtship announcement soon after joining Instagram. Jedidiah has also been rumored to be dating his sister-in-law Kendra’s sister Lauren Caldwell, and he’s not the only one! Jason Duggar, 19, and James Duggar, 18, have also been speculated to be dating Lauren.
Pregnancies
The Duggars welcomed a whopping four babies in 2019 but that doesn’t mean fans shouldn’t expect more big news from the family in 2020.
First up is John-David and his wife, Abbie. The couple is due to welcome their first child, a girl, in January. They last updated fans on Dec. 18 in the above Instagram post and revealed Abbie was 36-weeks along.
Meanwhile, Josh Duggar, the eldest, welcomed his sixth child, daughter Maryella, with wife Anna in November. Jessa and Ben Seewald welcomed their third child this year with daughter Ivy. Historically, both couples have spaced out their children out by two years so fans shouldn’t expect a baby announcement in 2020 from either of them.
Two other Duggar couples also just welcomed children, so it’s unlikely we could get another pregnancy announcement from them anytime soon. Josiah and Lauren Duggar had daughter Bella, their first, in November. Likewise, Joseph and Kendra Duggar only welcomed their second child, daughter Addison, in November. However, the couple did have their two babies back-to-back, introducing son Garrett in 2018.
Joy-Anna and Austin Forsyth tragically announced a miscarriage last year. They were due to expect their second baby, a girl, to join their son Gideon in November. It is unknown if they plan to expand their family more at this time.
Jinger and Jeremy Vuolo could very well be the next Duggar pregnancy announcement. The two welcomed their first child, daughter Felicity, in summer 2018. And while they were busy moving to Los Angeles last year, 2020 could very well by the year they add a new addition.
Jill and Derick Dillard, who are no longer on “Counting On,” haven’t welcomed a child to join their two sons since 2017, so they could always be looking to expand.

American Civil War The Union and Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years. The Union finally won the war when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House, followed by a series of surrenders by Confederate generals throughout the southern states. Four years of intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead, more than the number of U.S. military deaths in all other wars combined (at least until approximately the Vietnam War).[15] Much of the South's infrastructure was destroyed, especially the transportation systems, railroads, mills, and houses. The Confederacy collapsed, slavery was abolished, and 4 million slaves were freed. The Reconstruction Era (1863–1877) overlapped and followed the war, with the process of restoring national unity, strengthening the national government, and granting civil rights to freed slaves throughout the country. The Civil War is the most studied and written about episode in U.S. history.[16]

"White Summer" is a guitar instrumental by English rock guitarist Jimmy Page, which incorporates Indian and Arabic musical influences. It was initially recorded and performed with the Yardbirds and later included in many Led Zeppelin concerts. According to biographer Keith Shadwick, it is based on an old Irish folk song, "specifically derived from 'She Moved Through the Fair' in the 1963 version by [Davy] Graham, which he in turn credited to Padraic Colum". The later Led Zeppelin song "Over the Hills and Far Away" was "spun off" from "White Summer" as well as an unreleased 20-minute instrumental recorded in early 1974 at Headley Grange.

Flag of the United States The flag of the United States of America, often referred to as the American flag, is the national flag of the United States. It consists of thirteen equal horizontal stripes of red (top and bottom) alternating with white, with a blue rectangle in the canton (referred to specifically as the "union") bearing fifty small, white, five-pointed stars arranged in nine offset horizontal rows, where rows of six stars (top and bottom) alternate with rows of five stars. The 50 stars on the flag represent the 50 states of the United States of America, and the 13 stripes represent the thirteen British colonies that declared independence from the Kingdom of Great Britain, and became the first states in the U.S.[1] Nicknames for the flag include The Stars and Stripes,[2] Old Glory,[3] and The Star-Spangled Banner.

Deamination In the human body, deamination takes place primarily in the liver, however glutamate is also deaminated in the kidneys. In situations of excess protein intake, deamination is used to break down amino acids for energy. The amino group is removed from the amino acid and converted to ammonia. The rest of the amino acid is made up of mostly carbon and hydrogen, and is recycled or oxidized for energy. Ammonia is toxic to the human system, and enzymes convert it to urea or uric acid by addition of carbon dioxide molecules (which is not considered a deamination process) in the urea cycle, which also takes place in the liver. Urea and uric acid can safely diffuse into the blood and then be excreted in urine.

English Grammar 101: Parts of Speech English Grammar 101: Parts of Speech By Maeve Maddox A word is a “part of speech” only when it is used in a sentence. The function the word serves in a sentence is what makes it whatever part of speech it is. For example, the word “run” can be used as more than one part of speech: Sammy hit a home run. ( run is a noun, direct object of hit ) You mustn’t run near the swimming pool. ( run is a verb, part of the verb phrase must (not) run)Here is a simple overview of the English parts of speech and what they do. Each part of speech is linked to an DWT article that tells more about it. NOUN – Nouns are naming words. We can’t talk about anything until we have given it a name. PRONOUN – A pronoun is a word that stands for a noun. VERBS – The verb is the motor that runs the sentence. A verb enables us to say something about a noun. ADJECTIVE – An adjective is a word that describes a noun. ADVERB – An adverb adds meaning to a verb, an adjective, or another adverb. PREPOSITION – a preposition is a word that comes in front of a noun or a pronoun and shows a connection between that noun or pronoun and some other word in the sentence CONJUNCTION – a conjunction joins words and groups of words. INTERJECTION — An interjection is a word or phrase thrown into a sentence to express an emotion, for example, Homer Simpson’s “Doh!”Recommended for you: « Minimise Distractions When Writing: 4 Practical Tips »Related Articles English Grammar 101: Sentences, Clauses and Phrases English Grammar 101: Pronouns English Grammar 101: Interjections Share Subscribe to Receive our Articles and Exercises via Email You will improve your English in only 5 minutes per day, guaranteed!Subscribers get access to our exercise archives, writing courses, writing jobs and much more!You'll also get three bonus ebooks completely free!Try It Free Now15 Responses to “English Grammar 101: Parts of Speech”Aliyu Imam Bello Jushi (abjay) +2348036691594 on October 08, 2011 8:06 am Its a pleasure to find a site like this but my problem is i still have confusion over the difference between traditional and modern classifications of english parts of speech.

Many of the states in the United States have established the post of poet laureate to which a prominent poet residing in the respective state is appointed. The responsibilities of the state poets laureate are similar to those of the Poet Laureate of the United Kingdom and the equivalent Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress in the United States, to make public appearances at poetry readings or literary events, and to promote awareness of poetry within their geographical region.

The basic annelid form consists of multiple segments. Each segment has the same sets of organs and, in most polychaetes, has a pair of parapodia that many species use for locomotion. Septa separate the segments of many species, but are poorly defined or absent in others, and Echiura and Sipuncula show no obvious signs of segmentation. In species with well-developed septa, the blood circulates entirely within blood vessels, and the vessels in segments near the front ends of these species are often built up with muscles that act as hearts. The septa of such species also enable them to change the shapes of individual segments, which facilitates movement by peristalsis ("ripples" that pass along the body) or by undulations that improve the effectiveness of the parapodia. In species with incomplete septa or none, the blood circulates through the main body cavity without any kind of pump, and there is a wide range of locomotory techniques – some burrowing species turn their pharynges inside out to drag themselves through the sediment.

Winston Churchill - Prime Minister - Biography.com Winston Churchill As prime minister of the United Kingdom, Sir Winston Churchill rallied the British people during WWII, and led his country from the brink of defeat to victory. IN THESE GROUPS “An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.” “I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.” “Never in the field of human conflict was so much owed by so many to so few.” “A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.” “Courage is rightly esteemed the first of human qualities ... because it is the quality which guarantees all others.” “From Stettin in the Baltic to Trieste in the Adriatic an iron curtain has descended across the Continent.” Winston Churchill Winston Churchill - Mini Biography (TV-14; 4:12) Noted for his military service, Winston Churchill led England during World War II . He took the blame for the Gallipoli landings during World War I, but eventually became Prime Minister and led the fight against Adolf Hitler. Synopsis Born to an aristocratic family in 1874, Winston Churchill served in the British military and worked as a writer before going into politics. After becoming prime minister in 1940, he helped lead a successful Allied strategy with the U.S. and Soviet Union during WWII to defeat the Axis powers and craft post-war peace. Elected prime minister again in 1951, he introduced key domestic reforms. Churchill died at age 90 in 1965. Early Life Winston Leonard Spencer-Churchill was born to an aristocratic family on November 30, 1874. As his life unfolded, he displayed the traits of his father, Lord Randolph Churchill, a British statesman from an established English family, and his mother, Jeanette "Jennie" Jerome, an independent-minded New York socialite. As a young child, Churchill grew up in Dublin, Ireland, where his father was employed by his grandfather, the 7th Duke of Marlborough, John Spencer-Churchill. When he entered formal school, Churchill proved to be an independent and rebellious student. He did poorly at his first two schools and in April 1888, he was sent to Harrow School, a boarding school near London. Within weeks of his enrollment, he joined the Harrow Rifle Corps, which put him on a path to a military career. At first it didn't seem the military was a good choice for Churchill. It took him three tries to pass the exam for the British Royal Military College. However, once there, he did well and graduated 20th in his class of 130. Up to this time, his relationship with both his mother and father was distant, though he adored them both. While at school, Churchill wrote emotional letters to his mother, begging her to come see him, but she seldom came. His father died when he was 21, and it was said that Churchill knew him more by reputation than by any close relationship they shared. Churchill enjoyed a brief but eventful career in the British Army at a zenith of British military power. He joined the Fourth Hussars in 1895 and served in the Indian northwest frontier and the Sudan, where he saw action in the Battle of Omdurman in 1898. While in the Army, he wrote military reports for newspapers The Pioneer and the Daily Telegraph, and two books on his experiences, The Story of the Malakand Field Force (1898) and The River War (1899). In 1899, Churchill left the Army and worked as a war correspondent for the Morning Post, a conservative daily newspaper. While reporting on the Boer War in South Africa, he was taken prisoner by the Boers while on a scouting expedition. He made headlines when he escaped, traveling almost 300 miles to Portuguese territory in Mozambique. Upon his return to Britain, he wrote about his experiences in the book London to Ladysmith (1900). Early Careers: Government and Military In 1900, Churchill became a member of Parliament in the Conservative Party for Oldham, a town in Manchester. Following his father into politics, he also followed his father's sense of independence, becoming a supporter of social reform. Unconvince

Catalan dialects are relatively uniform, and are mutually intelligible. They are divided into two blocks, Eastern and Western, differing mostly in pronunciation. The terms "Catalan" and "Valencian" (respectively used in Catalonia and the Valencian Community) are two different varieties of the same language. There are two institutions regulating the two standard varieties, the Institute of Catalan Studies in Catalonia and the Valencian Academy of the Language in Valencia.

From the 10th to the 13th century, Romanesque architecture had become a pan-European style and manner of construction, affecting buildings in countries as far apart as Ireland, Croatia, Sweden and Sicily. The same wide geographic area was then affected by the development of Gothic architecture, but the acceptance of the Gothic style and methods of construction differed from place to place, as did the expressions of Gothic taste. The proximity of some regions meant that modern country borders do not define divisions of style. On the other hand, some regions such as England and Spain produced defining characteristics rarely seen elsewhere, except where they have been carried by itinerant craftsmen, or the transfer of bishops. Regional differences that are apparent in the great abbey churches and cathedrals of the Romanesque period often become even more apparent in the Gothic.

A Decade in the Life of Thompson Twins A Decade in the Life of Thompson Twins Joe Leeway, Alannah Currie, Tom Bailey (1983) In 1977, aspiring classical pianist Tom Bailey (b. 6.18.57, Halifax, Yorkshire), joined forces with guitarists Peter Dodd and John Roog and drummer Chris Bell to form a band called Thompson Twins (after a pair of identical detectives in the cartoon Tin Tin.) Moving to London in 1978, the quartet diligently played the club scene for two years. By the time the 1980s rolled around, they were ready to take their shot at the singles charts. In time, percussionists Joe Leeway (b. 11.15.57, London) and Alannah Currie (b. 9.20.59, Auckland, New Zealand) would join Bailey, while Dodd, Roog and Bell would leave the band. When, in the mid-Eighties, the Thompson Twins became an international success it consisted of the trio of Bailey, Currie and Leeway. The band, according to Currie, strove to "make something completely different . . . using technology." At the time, many purists scoffed at the nation that "good" music could be made with machines. The Thompson Twins proved the skeptics wrong -- and became the leading purveyors of synth-pop. They were innovative, mixing dance, pop, reggae and dance elements with experimental sounds to produce a string of distinctive hit singles that were not only commercially successful but were also critically acclaimed. Daring to be different not only in their music but also in appearance, they became heroes to disaffected youth in the process. May 1980 Thompson Twin's first single, "Squares And Triangles" is released on its own independent label (Dirty Discs). November 1980 Independent label Latent releases "She's In Love With Mystery," which tops UK independent chart. Tom Bailey begins dating Alannah Currie. February 1981 The band signs with Arista Records in the UK. June 1981 The band's debut album, A Product Of..., is recorded. March 1982 Set climbs to UK#48, while the single "In The Name Of Love" soars to #1 on the US dance chart. The album is released as In The Name Of Love in the US, and stalls at US#148. April 1982 Bell, Dodd, Roog and bassist Matthew Seligman are fired, leaving the Thompson Twins consisting of the trio of Bailey, Currie and former roadie Joe Leeway. October 1982 "Lies" peaks at UK#67, and will reach US#30 in March of the following year; supported by Tears for Fears, the band embarks on an extensive UK tour. January 1983 "Love On Your Side" makes it to UK#9. In a few months it will climb to #45 on the US singles chart. March 1983 Quick Step & Side Kick peaks at UK#2. Released as Side Kicks in the US, it will spend 25 weeks on the album chart, reaching the #34 spot. April 1983 Currie's vocals are featured for the first time on the single "We Are Detective," which hits UK#7. November 1983 "Hold Me Now" climbs to UK#4. Six months later, it peaks at US #3. February 1984 "Doctor Doctor" soars to UK#3. Into The Gap hits the top spot on the UK album chart and stay there for three weeks; it will spend over a year on the US chart, peaking at #10. In October it will be certified platinum by the RIAA. March 1984 "You Take Me Up" makes it to UK#2. It will stall at US#44 in October. July 1984 As the band begins a world tour, "Doctor Doctor" reaches US#11. November 1984 "Lay Your Hands On Me" climbs to UK#13. It will take a year for the single to reach its #6 high mark on the US chart. March 1985 After two years of touring, and hard at work on a new album, Tom Bailey falls sick from exhaustion. American producer Niles Rodgers comes aboard to help finish the album. July 1985 With Bailey recovered, Thompson Twins performs with Madonna at the Live Aid benefit concert in Philadelphia. August 1985 The anti-drug song "Don't Mess With Doctor Dream" peaks at UK#15. September 1985 Here's To Future Days soars to UK#5. In November it will be certified gold by the RIAA. It's first single, "King For A Day," reaches UK#22. February 1986 Here's To Future Days climbs to US#20, while the single "King For A Day" will hit US#8 in March. September 1986 "Nothing In Common," title track

UN aerial reconnaissance had difficulty sighting PVA units in daytime, because their march and bivouac discipline minimized aerial detection. The PVA marched "dark-to-dark" (19:00–03:00), and aerial camouflage (concealing soldiers, pack animals, and equipment) was deployed by 05:30. Meanwhile, daylight advance parties scouted for the next bivouac site. During daylight activity or marching, soldiers were to remain motionless if an aircraft appeared, until it flew away; PVA officers were under order to shoot security violators. Such battlefield discipline allowed a three-division army to march the 286 miles (460 km) from An-tung, Manchuria, to the combat zone in some 19 days. Another division night-marched a circuitous mountain route, averaging 18 miles (29 km) daily for 18 days.

This is the most common and versatile type of thermometer used in a restaurant. It should have: an adjustable calibration nut to keep it accurate; easy-to-read numbered temperature markings; a dimple to mark the end of the sensing area; and accuracy. This food thermometer measures the temperature of a food in about 15 to 20 seconds. It is not designed to remain in the food while the food is cooking. Rather it should be used near the end of cooking to check the internal temperature of the food. The probe of the thermometer must be inserted the full length of the sensing area (usually 2 to 3 inches) to get an accurate temperature reading.

Trail of Tears Between 1830 and 1850, the Chickasaw, Choctaw, Creek, Seminole, and Cherokee people (including mixed-race and black freedmen and slaves who lived among them) were forcibly removed from their traditional lands in the Southeastern United States, and relocated farther west.[4] Those Native Americans who were relocated were forced to march to their destinations by state and local militias.[5] The Cherokee removal in 1838 (the last forced removal east of the Mississippi) was brought on by the discovery of gold near Dahlonega, Georgia in 1828, resulting in the Georgia Gold Rush.[6] Approximately 2,000–6,000 of the 16,543 relocated Cherokee perished along the way.[7][8][9][10][11]

The Management of the Ekiti State University Teaching Hospital (EKSUTH) Ado-Ekiti has confirmed the sacking of an unspecified number of workers in the hospital.
The organised labour in the state had on Monday raised alarm over the decision of the hospital to disengaged workers, threatening to shut down the hospital if the due process were not followed.
However, the Head Corporate Affairs Department, Mrs Rolake Adewumi in a statement on Wednesday said the decision to sack workers followed recommendations of the visitation panel to the hospital.
She explained that affected workers include those who failed to make themselves available during the verification exercise and also those who were on leave of absence but failed to return after the approved period.
The statement read, ”As a result, it has become necessary to disengage some workers who did not show up for the Human Resources Verification exercise and who could not be sighted till date, and so were regarded as “Ghost Workers”, Others include, those on leave of absence with/without pay who had exhausted the approved period of leave and refused to resume.
“Another category were those who were found with one misconduct or the other as well as those employed after the State Government placed an embargo on employment. In addition, based on the recommendations, some critical areas of needs were filled with qualified appointees. Many members who were wrongly placed have been regularized and placed on appropriate salary levels.”
The management urged the affected workers who were not satisfied with the decision to channel their grievances and complaints to the Board through the Director of Administration.

Twenty-second Amendment to the United States Constitution Notwithstanding that the Twenty-second Amendment was clearly a reaction to Franklin D. Roosevelt's election to an unprecedented four terms as president, the notion of presidential term limits has deep roots in American politics. Delegates to the Constitutional Convention of 1787 considered the issue (alongside broader questions, such as who would elect the president, and the President's role) extensively. Many—including Alexander Hamilton and James Madison—supported a lifetime appointment for presidents, while others favored fixed terms appointments. Virginia's George Mason denounced the life-tenure proposal as tantamount to establishment of an elective monarchy.[3] Ultimately, the Framers approved four-year terms with no restriction on the amount of time a person could serve as president.

Internal heating Internal heat is the heat source from the interior of celestial objects, such as stars, brown dwarfs, planets, moons, dwarf planets, and (in the early history of the Solar System) even asteroids such as Vesta, resulting from contraction caused by gravity (the Kelvin–Helmholtz mechanism), nuclear fusion, tidal heating, core solidification (heat of fusion released as molten core material solidifies), and radioactive decay. The amount of internal heating depends on mass; the more massive the object, the more internal heat it has; also, for a given density, the more massive the object, the greater the ratio of mass to surface area, and thus the greater the retention of internal heat.[citation needed] The internal heating keeps celestial objects warm and active.
