Stronsay \| VisitOrkney Back to Our Islands Stronsay is friendly, tranquil and absolutely beautiful - just perfect if you are looking to chill-out and relax. When you visit, you'll be made very welcome by the local community. It's that sort of place. In addition to its natural beauty, Stronsay is also very flat, making it an ideal location for a gentle stroll or to discover the island on two wheels. You're here to take it easy, so there's nothing too strenuous! In fact, the highest point - Burgh Hill - is only 46 meters above sea level. Part of the island's appeal lies in the fact that the famed sandy beaches and turquoise bays are easily accessible. They are very popular with seals too and the BBC filmed these endearing creatures on Stronsay for its popular Autumnwatch nature programme. The white beaches of Stronsay Sunset at Papasound, Stronsay Whitehall Village in Stronsay The famous Vat of Kirbister Sticking to the eastern coastline, you will encounter the Vat of Kirbister, a dramatic gloup spanned by the finest natural rock arch in Orkney, while the cliffs at Lamb Ness and Lamb Head are home to seabird colonies. The island's bird reserve is reputed to be one of the best sites in Europe for spotting rare migrants. While you explore the island, the strong community spirit among the 370 inhabitants is reflected in projects geared to Stronsay's long-term sustainability, notably around Whitehall Village. The island is perhaps best known for its role in the herring industry. Whitehall was one of the busiest ports in Europe, when vast fleets moored at its waters from the 17th century until the 1930s. This fascinating story is now told at the Heritage Centre in the village. Stronsay can be reached by ferry or plane from Kirkwall .

Prisoner of War camp during World War I. The camp was located near the small town of Aschach an der Donau, which is in Upper Austria on the Danube River. The POW Camp primarily held Officers and Non-commissioned officers from Serbia and Montenegro. The Serbian government estimated some 6000 of its citizens died at the camp due poor living conditions, lack of hygiene and inadequate medical care. Today Aschach is a town of about 2000 people, which is not much larger than it was during the Great War.

The note was the largest denomination issued by Bahrain. In late 1997 a group of con-men approached a South American banknote manufacturer with a forged order from the Bahrain Monetary Agency for several million of the current Bahrain 20 Dinar banknote, which had been introduced in 1993. The manufacturer, believing the men and their order to be legitimate, carefully created printing plates from an original note and secured 8 tons of banknote paper with the original watermark and security threads from the French manufacturer that had provided the paper for the original printing of the notes. The notes were printed in May 1998. During the first week of June huge qua

The National Art Museum of Sport (NAMOS) is a fine art museum that focuses on a sport theme. Sport art captures emotion: the anxiety of competition, the joy of winning, the agony of defeat. It depicts internal conflict: the pitting of honor and sportsmanship versus the desire to win, or the struggle to maintain resolve in the face of overwhelming odds, pain and fatigue. Whether one thinks of the athletic contests portrayed in Greek vase painting and sculpture, the epic hunts that form the subjects of so many great medieval tapestries and manuscript pages, or the elegant horse-racing scenes of Fay Moore and Marilyn Newmark, depicting sport has inspired artists particularly those who want to capture the motion and emotion of sport. In America, a country celebrated for hard work and hard play, sport art has had an especially vigorous history. Many of the most renowned artists- Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, and George Bellows-were active sports persons themselves and numbered among their friends leading athletes, fishermen and hunters. For them, as for many others, the multifaceted drama of sport was both a challenge and inspiration, the generating force that led to unforgettable works.

In Britain, further experiments in the genre boosted its appeal. House and rave clubs such as Lakota and Cream emerged across Britain, hosting house and dance scene events. The 'chilling out' concept developed in Britain with ambient house albums such as The KLF's Chill Out and Analogue Bubblebath by Aphex Twin. The Godskitchen superclub brand also began in the midst of the early 90's rave scene. After initially hosting small nights in Cambridge and Northampton, the associated events scaled up in Milton Keynes, Birmingham and Leeds. A new indie dance scene also emerged in the 90's. In New York, bands such as Deee-Lite furthered house's international influence. Two distinctive tracks from this era were the Orb's "Little Fluffy Clouds" (with a distinctive vocal sample from Rickie Lee Jones) and the Happy Mondays' "Wrote for Luck" ("WFL") which was transformed into a dance hit by Vince Clarke.

For centuries, Paris has attracted artists from around the world, who arrive in the city to educate themselves and to seek inspiration from its vast pool of artistic resources and galleries. As a result, Paris has acquired a reputation as the "City of Art". Italian artists were a profound influence on the development of art in Paris in the 16th and 17th centuries, particularly in sculpture and reliefs. Painting and sculpture became the pride of the French monarchy and the French royals commissioned many Parisian artists to adorn their palaces during the French Baroque and Classicism era. Sculptors such as Girardon, Coysevox and Coustou acquired reputations as the finest artists in the royal court in 17th-century France. Pierre Mignard became the first painter to King Louis XIV during this period. In 1648, the Académie royale de peinture et de sculpture (Royal Academy of Painting and Sculpture) was established to accommodate for the dramatic interest in art in the capital. This served as France's top art school until 1793.

In 2010, it was announced that Bell had been dropped from the part, and that Adam Gregory was to take over the role.[3] In December 2013, following Gregory's decreased screen time and removal from the opening credits, fans began to speculate that Gregory was let go from the series. Gregory and a rep for the series confirmed he was dropped to recurring to pursue other acting jobs. A rep for the series confirmed, "Adam is recurring. [...] And, he has more scenes to tape later this week."[4][5] In May 2015, it was confirmed that Gregory was no longer in the role, and a casting call seeking a "handsome, tall, Caucasian man in his 20s with a great physique" to play Thomas was released.[6] In June 2015, it was announced that Pierson Fodé would join the cast in the role of Thomas.

Due to the work nature of airline pilots, who often cross several timezones and regions of sunlight and darkness in one day, and spend many hours awake both day and night, they are often unable to maintain sleep patterns that correspond to the natural human circadian rhythm; this situation can easily lead to fatigue. The NTSB cites this as contributing to many accidents[unreliable medical source?] and has conducted several research studies in order to find methods of combating fatigue in pilots.
Although the campaign was criticized in Australia at the time, and in subsequent years, as pointless or a "waste" of the lives of soldiers, it did achieve a number of objectives, such as increasing the isolation of significant Japanese forces occupying the main part of the Dutch East Indies, capturing major oil supplies and freeing Allied prisoners of war, who were being held in deteriorating conditions. At one of the very worst sites, around Sandakan in Borneo, only six of some 2,500 British and Australian prisoners survived.
According to the Mahāsaccakasutta,[note 33] from the fourth jhana the Buddha gained bodhi. Yet, it is not clear what he was awakened to.[page needed] "Liberating insight" is a later addition to this text, and reflects a later development and understanding in early Buddhism.[page needed][page needed] The mentioning of the four truths as constituting "liberating insight" introduces a logical problem, since the four truths depict a linear path of practice, the knowledge of which is in itself not depicted as being liberating.[note 34]

In the late 1990s, Markellis became the first member of the first solo band of Phish guitarist Trey Anastasio, forming the rhythm section with drummer Russ Lawton. Including his work with Anastasio, Markellis has appeared on over one hundred albums. In addition to tours with the Trey Anastasio Band, he is currently working with Kilimanjaro, acoustic blues power trios No Outlet and Street Corner Holler, The Burns Sisters Band, bluegrass fusion band Floodwood, acoustic Grateful Dead cover band Dead2Me, singer/songwriters Michael Jerling and Bob Warren, and occasionally with Americana band Jo Henley. On June 20, 2010 (Fathers Day), Tony was invited on stage at Saratoga Performing Arts Center (SPAC) to play bass with Phish on "Gotta Jibboo" (one of the songs he cowrote with Trey and Russ Lawton for the Trey Anastasio Band). Phish's bassist, Mike Gordon played the second guitar during the song.
Hunting is the practice of killing or trapping any animal, or pursuing or tracking it with the intent of doing so. Hunting wildlife or feral animals is most commonly done by humans for food, recreation, to remove predators which are dangerous to humans or domestic animals, or for trade. In the 2010s, lawful hunting is distinguished from poaching, which is the illegal killing, trapping or capture of the hunted species. The species that are hunted are referred to as game or prey and are usually mammals and birds.
Consider the amount of information that is transferred in either case. Video signal requires orders of magnitude more bandwidth than mere audio, and then you still need to send the audio. Therefore, you have to use a larger, directional, high-gain antenna in order to improve signal fidelity enough to get good bandwidth. I have a historical anecdote. The Galileo was a very costly NASA mission to Jupiter and its moons. It was supposed to transfer its data at real-time at 134 kbits/second using a fancy high-gain dish. However, because the spacecraft had to be carted around one too many times, the antenna's mechanism broke down, which was discovered way too late for anything to be done about it. So it had to do with a secondary 16 bit/second low-gain omnidirectional antenna, forcing NASA to get creative and invest huge money into upgrading their groundside receiver tech.

Milton Friedman: The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics \| Library of Economics and Liberty \| Biographies \| Milton Friedman Milton Friedman was the twentieth century’s most prominent advocate of free markets. Born in 1912 to Jewish immigrants in New York City, he attended Rutgers University, where he earned his B.A. at the age of twenty. He went on to earn his M.A. from the University of Chicago in 1933 and his Ph.D. from Columbia University in 1946. In 1951 Friedman received the John Bates Clark Medal honoring economists under age forty for outstanding achievement. In 1976 he was awarded the Nobel Prize in economics for “his achievements in the field of consumption analysis, monetary history and theory, and for his demonstration of the complexity of stabilization policy.” Before that time he had served as an adviser to President Richard Nixon and was president of the American Economic Association in 1967. After retiring from the University of Chicago in 1977, Friedman became a senior research fellow at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University. Friedman established himself in 1945 with Income from Independent Professional Practice, coauthored with Simon Kuznets. In it he argued that state licensing procedures limited entry into the medical profession, thereby allowing doctors to charge higher fees than they would be able to do if competition were more open. His landmark 1957 work, A Theory of the Consumption Function, took on the Keynesian view that individuals and households adjust their expenditures on consumption to reflect their current income. Friedman showed that, instead, people’s annual consumption is a function of their “permanent income,” a term he introduced as a measure of the average income people expect over a few years. In Capitalism and Freedom, Friedman wrote arguably the most important economics book of the 1960s, making a case for relatively free markets to a general audience. He argued for, among other things, a volunteer army, freely floating exchange rates, abolition of licensing of doctors, a negative income tax, and education vouchers. (Friedman was a passionate foe of the military draft: he once stated that the abolition of the draft was almost the only issue on which he had personally lobbied Congress.) Many of the young people who read it were encouraged to study economics themselves. His ideas spread worldwide with Free to Choose (coauthored with his wife, Rose Friedman), the best-selling nonfiction book of 1980, written to accompany a TV series on the Public Broadcasting System. This book made Milton Friedman a household name. Although much of his trailblazing work was done on price theory—the theory that explains how prices are determined in individual markets—Friedman is popularly recognized for monetarism . Defying Keynes and most of the academic establishment of the time, Friedman presented evidence to resurrect the quantity theory of money—the idea that the price level depends on the money supply . In Studies in the Quantity Theory of Money, published in 1956, Friedman stated that in the long run, increased monetary growth increases prices but has little or no effect on output. In the short run, he argued, increases in money supply growth cause employment and output to increase, and decreases in money supply growth have the opposite effect. Friedman’s solution to the problems of inflation and short-run fluctuations in employment and real GNP was a so-called money-supply rule. If the Federal Reserve Board were required to increase the money supply at the same rate as real GNP increased, he argued, inflation would disappear. Friedman’s monetarism came to the forefront when, in 1963, he and Anna Schwartz coauthored Monetary History of the United States, 1867–1960, which contends that the great depression was the result of the Federal Reserve’s ill-conceived monetary policies. Upon receipt of the unpublished manuscript submitted by the authors, the Federal Reserve Board responded internally with a lengthy critical review. Such was their agitation that the Fed governors discontinued their

USS Acme (AMc-61) was an "Accentor"-class coastal minesweeper in the United States Navy. "Acme" was laid down while still unnamed on 31 March 1941 by the Greenport Basin and Construction Company in Greenport, New York. AMc-61 was named USS "Adamant" on 17 May 1941; renamed USS Acme on 23 May 1941; launched on 31 May 1941; sponsored by Mrs. John Q. Adams, the wife of the president of the contractor; and commissioned on 11 September 1941, Lt. Marcus L. Whitford in command.
The period between the foundation of the Han dynasty and Wang Mang's reign is known as the Western Han dynasty (simplified Chinese: 西汉; traditional Chinese: 西漢; pinyin: Xī Hàn) or Former Han dynasty (simplified Chinese: 前汉; traditional Chinese: 前漢; pinyin: Qiánhàn) (206 BC – 9 AD). During this period the capital was at Chang'an (modern Xi'an). From the reign of Guangwu the capital was moved eastward to Luoyang. The era from his reign until the fall of Han is known as the Eastern Han dynasty (simplified Chinese: 东汉; traditional Chinese: 東漢; pinyin: Dōng Hàn) or the Later Han dynasty (simplified Chinese: 后汉; traditional Chinese: 後漢; pinyin: Hòu Hàn) (25–220 AD).
Superstroke is a term used for a contemporary art movement with its origins in South Africa. Superstroke is one of the influential art movements regarding African modernism and abstraction. The word "Superstroke" implies the super expressive brush stroke. The Superstroke art movement was initially founded as a reaction to the impact that the Superflat art movement, founded by Takashi Murakami had on modern contemporary art.
Hinduism: Caste System, Reincarnation, and Karma Philosophy 312: Oriental Philosophy Hinduism: The Caste System, Reincarnation, and Karma I. The Caste System--(groups assigned by birth not personality). The Hindu conception of the social order is that people are different, and different people will fit well into different aspects of society. Social order or social class according to varna forms the framework of moral duties according to personal characteristics of individuals (not necessarily birth). A. Historically the caste system dates back to the Aryan invasion of India around 2,000 BC. B. Society is divided into four main groups (with a fifth, "the untouchables," outside of the caste system). Passage from the Rig Veda: (The world was formed from Purusa whose body is described as follows.) "The brahmin was his mouth, his two arms became the rajanya (kshatriyas), his thighs are what the vaisya are, and from his feet the shudra was made." 1. Brahmin: the seers, the reflective ones, the priests. a. The intellectual and spiritual leaders. b. In our society, they would correspond to the philosophers, religious leaders, and teachers. 2. Kshatriyas--(pronounced something like "kshot ree yahs") the born administrators (formerly nobles, rajahs, and warriors). a. The protectors of society. b. In our society, the politicians, police, and the military. 3. Vaisyas: (pronounced something like "vy sy us") the producers, the craftsmen, artisans, farmers. a. The skillful producers of material things. b. In our society, the merchants. 4. Shudras--(pronounced something like "shoo drrahs") the unskilled laborers or laboring class. a. The followers or the maintenance people. b. The so-called menial workers or hard laborers. C. Advantages to the Caste system. The heritability of intelligence and factors of personality raise some interesting philosophical questions. 1. What we would like people to be is not usually what they are. Many persons would be more comfortable in their own social class. 2. Unless unequals are separated into different classes, many persons would be "born losers." 3. Egalitarianism is the belief that privileges are proportional to the responsibilities and a denial of the tyranny of the majority. II. Reincarnation: the philosophical basis of this belief is the consideration that if individual souls ( jivas ) are eternal, where did they come from? A. The spirit is independent of the body and the situation the spirit is in. Passage from the Gita: "Worn out garments are shed by the body; worn out bodies are shed by the dweller." 1. At the subhuman level the passage is almost automatic up the chain of being. 2. At the human level comes consciousness which implies freedom, responsibility, and effort. 3. The consequences of your past decisions have determined your present state. B. Law of Karma--the moral law of action and reaction. 1. The present condition of your soul (confusion or serenity) is a product of your past decisions. You have made yourself what you are. 2. Your present thoughts, decisions, and actions determine your future states. ("Unsettled state" = "bad karma.") Karma can be altered through natural and moral decision and action. 3. Every person gets what that person deserves--even though decisions are freely arrived at, there is no chance in the universe. Karma is the middle way between determinism and indeterminism. 4. The assumption is that we will not change the world in any significant way--the world is the training ground for Atman-Brahman. 5. There is no randomness or accident in the universe. "There are no lost traces." Karma is not fate or strict causality.
What type of forest do pine trees grow in? Pine trees grow in coniferous forest, usually in northern regions, where the climate is cold and the soil rich enough to sustain them. What types of trees grow in antarctica? None, it's too cold for trees and most of the continent is covered with ice.

It is perhaps more renowned for being part of the stage on which the annual Great Migration plays out. Each year, over 1.5 million wildebeest, a fair number of gazelles, and small following of zebra seek better grazing areas by moving south in the Serengeti, then west and north into the Maasai Mara before eventually returning. It is unsurprising that the Serengeti’s bustling plains offer some of the most remarkable safari opportunities in the country, and visiting in the right season will promise astonishing sites of this natural phenomenon. The Serengeti’s terrain varies from the volcanic grasslands and vast plains that are interrupted by rocky outcrops, rivers, volcanoes, and forests. The park boasts superb game-viewing all year round, a huge predator population, and varied birdlife. Much action can be seen near rivers and waterholes where the wildlife assembles. As well as being home to countless hippo pods and crocodiles, the water’s edge is the prime position from which to watch nature unfold—whether it is simply to observe a trumpet of elephants escaping the midday heat or watch lion and crocodile compete over food sources.

San Francisco Symphony - Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus 95, From the New World San Francisco Symphony Dvořák: Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus 95, From the New World Symphony No. 9 in E minor, Opus 95, From the New World ANTONÍN LEOPOLD DVOŘÁK BORN: September 8, 1841. Nelahozeves, near Kralupy, Bohemia DIED: May 1, 1904. Prague COMPOSED: Between December 1892 and spring 1893, mostly in New York City WORLD PREMIERE: December 15, 1893. Anton Seidl and the New York Philharmonic played a “public rehearsal”; the official premiere took place the following evening at Carnegie Hall (then called simply the Music Hall) SFS PERFORMANCES: FIRST— October 1912. Henry Hadley conducted. MOST RECENT—April 2013. Christoph Eschenbach conducted INSTRUMENTATION: 2 flutes (2nd doubling piccolo), 2 oboes and English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 4 horns, 2 trumpets, 3 trombones, tuba, timpani, triangle, cymbals, and strings DURATION: About 40 mins Jeanette Thurber was not a woman who easily accepted no for an answer. In June 1891, she invited Dvořák to New York to direct the National Conservatory of Music, an establishment she had been nurturing into existence over several years. Thurber had studied music in Paris, and when she returned to the United States she used the considerable financial resources of her businessman-husband to create an American conservatory in the French image—which is to say, one in which talented students of all backgrounds would be supported at the government’s expense, regardless of sex or of racial or economic background. In 1891, she finally managed to get the organization chartered through an act of Congress. By that time she had already enlisted an impressive roster of musicians to serve on the faculty, including the pianist Rafael Joseffy and the cellist (and composer) Victor Herbert. Securing a composer of Dvořák’s eminence to lead the conservatory would be a phenomenal coup. And she brought it off. On September 26, 1892, Dvořák and part of his family arrived in New York (four of six children remained back home in Bohemia) and took up residence at a townhouse at 327 East 17th Street, a short stroll from the National Conservatory (which was located at 126-128 East 17th Street, on a site now occupied by Washington Irving High School). The Dvořák home is no more. In 1941, Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia had a historical plaque installed on the façade in a bow to the composer’s centennial. The building’s façade was granted landmark status in February 1991 (the Dvořák sesquicentennial), but within months a nearby hospital, which by that time owned the property, prevailed on New York’s City Council to overturn that landmark designation. In August 1991 the house was accordingly razed to make way for an AIDS hospice. The block was re-named Dvořák Place, and in 1997 a non-profit group called the Dvořák American Heritage Association installed a statue of the composer in Stuyvesant Square Park, just across the street from where he had lived. Dvořák would remain a New Yorker until 1895 (spending the summer of 1893 in the Czech community of Spillville, Iowa, and the following summer in Prague), building the National Conservatory’s curriculum and faculty, appearing as a guest conductor, and composing such masterworks as his String Quartet No. 12 in F major (Opus 96, The American), his String Quintet in E-flat major (Opus 97), and his Symphony From the New World. The National Conservatory continued to flourish for two decades following Dvořák’s years there. But by 1915 its reputation began to wane; it left its 17th Street facility and moved from one address to another, disappearing from the scene in 1928. Although he was occasionally wracked with homesickness, there is no question that Dvořák enjoyed much about his American years. Musical New York made much of him, delighting in having so distinguished a European composer in their midst. Dvořák found many of his students to be receptive and stimulating, and his insatiable musical curiosity went into high gear when he encountered African-American and American Indian music.

Suspect In law enforcement jargon, a suspect is a known person accused or suspected of committing a crime. Police and reporters in the United States often use the word suspect as a jargon when referring to the perpetrator of the offense (perp in dated US slang). However, in official definition, the perpetrator is the robber, assailant, counterfeiter, etc.—the person who committed the crime. The distinction between suspect and perpetrator recognizes that the suspect is not known to have committed the offense, while the perpetrator—who may not yet have been suspected of the crime, and is thus not necessarily a suspect—is the one who did. The suspect may be a different person from the perpetrator, or there may have been no actual crime, which would mean there is no perpetrator.[1]

More than 2,300 migrants were blocked in the Channel in 2019 as they tried to get to Britain illegally in 231 small boats laid on by people smugglers, it was revealed today. The extraordinary figure is four times the number picked up in the sea between France and Britain in 2018 when just 586 people were stopped, the French coastguard has said. The most recent operation took place off Dunkirk on New Year's Eve with an average of around 200 migrants being detained every month in France. But it emerged yesterday that 1,900 migrants actually reached UK soil after crossing the Channel – including 43 people who made the hazardous journey to Dover yesterday. But just 50 people traffickers have been prosecuted in either France or Britain in 2019. Natalie Elphicke, Tory MP for Dover, last night demanded France does much more in 2020 to stop boats setting off from its beaches and coastline. New Year's Eve: Six migrants are picked up off Dunkirk as the French authorities revealed they have stopped 2,300 people trying to get to Britain - up from 586 a year earlier December 30: 19 migrants including two young children were rescued by the Marine Nationale from a overloaded pleasure boat that was trying to get them to the UK April: These 11 migrants were stopped on the French side of the Channel - but 1,900 others still made it in 2019 On the British side one Border Force cutter and two coastal patrol vessels currently patrol the Channel. Specialist vehicles and night vision goggles are being used on French beaches to detect migrants trying to get into small boats but critics say more ships and border agents should be deployed. Some 2,358 people had to be rescued compared to 586 in 2018, the Maritime Prefecture of the Channel and the North Sea told AFP today. December 5: Eight migrants in a packed dinghy are stopped by the French In total 261 cases of crossings or attempted crossings were recorded by the French and British authorities, mainly in small, often overloaded, inflatable boats. Over the past year, growing numbers of migrants from Africa, the Middle East and Central Asia have taken to the treacherous waters of the Channel in small fishing boats or inflatable dinghies. Rights groups have linked the crossings to a police crackdown to prevent the establishment of migrant camps in Calais and other areas along the French coast. At least four migrants died in 2019 attempting to make the dangerous crossing in the Channel, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes, with strong currents and icy waters. A spokesman for the UK's Home Office said a Border Force cutter and two coastal patrol vessels were patrolling the Channel. 'There has also been a doubling of patrols on French beaches and drones, specialist vehicles and detection equipment have been deployed to stop small boats leaving French shores and arriving in the UK illegally. 'Individuals who reach the UK illegally should be in no doubt about our determination to return them to Europe as it is an established principle that those in need of protection should claim asylum in the first safe country they reach.' November 24: An average of around 200 migrants a month have been stopped taking the perilous journey in the Channel October 4: Migrants are wrapped in foil blankets as they tried and failed to cross the Channel in freezing conditions April: Two boats full of migrants are stopped by a coastguard boat who picked them up using searchlights Crossings have continued into the winter months despite Home Secretary Priti Patel having vowed to halve the numbers by November and virtually eliminate the problem by spring. Border Force vessels intercepted three rigid-hull inflatable boats as they approached the Kent coast yesterday morning. Twelve Iranian men were picked up at 3.35am and an hour later a second boat containing 22 males was intercepted. Those in the second boat claimed to be Iraqi, Iranian or Afghan, with eight of them saying they were under the age of 18. If they are children, they will be transferred into the care of social services. The final boat, which was carrying an Iranian group of seven men and two women was picked up at around 7.50am. The migrants, who crossed the world's busiest shipping lane at night in freezing conditions, were assessed by a doctor before being transferred to an immigration centre where they will be interviewed. French authorities intercepted a fourth boat and took those on board back to mainland Europe where they were detained. Figures from publicly available sources show that about 1,870 migrants reached Britain or UK waters in small boats last year. About 400 have arrived since October 15 – meaning the Home Secretary has failed to honour her pledge. A migrant is pictured being assisted into a shipping container at Dover yesterday when 43 made it across from France to Britain yesterday Last year there were 16 successful prosecutions in France linked to the human trafficking of migrants. Some 30 people were convicted and received sentences ranging from three months to six years. Last winter Sajid Javid, the then Home Secretary, declared a major incident when migrant numbers in the Channel soared. He also pledged a crackdown on migrants who cross it in small boats and the people smugglers who help them. In January he said: 'While we have obligations to genuine asylum seekers we will not stand by and allow reckless criminals to take advantage of vulnerable people. I will continue to do all I can to stop these dangerous crossings.' Mr Javid called in extra Border Force cutters and allocated millions of pounds to tackling the issue. But the problem has worsened throughout 2019.

Despite the focus on illegal drugs of abuse such as cocaine, alcohol remains the number-one drug problem in the United States. Nearly 17 million adults in the U. S. are dependent on alcohol or have other alcohol-related problems, and about 88,000 people die from preventable alcohol-related causes. In teenagers, alcohol is the most commonly abused drug. Thirty-five percent of teens have had at least one drink by age 15. Even though it is illegal, about 8.7 million people 12 to 20 years of age have had a drink in the past month, and this age group accounted for 11% of all alcohol consumed in the U. S. Among underaged youth, alcohol is responsible for about 189,000 emergency-room visits and 4,300 deaths annually. Withdrawal, for those physically dependent on alcohol, is much more dangerous than withdrawal from heroin or other narcotic drugs. Alcohol abuse and alcohol dependence are now grouped together under the diagnosis of alcohol use disorder. What was formerly called alcohol abuse refers to excessive or problematic use with one or more of the following: Failure to fulfill major obligations at work, school, or home Recurrent use in situations where it is hazardous (such as driving a car or operating machinery)Legal problems Continued use of alcohol despite having medical, social, family, or interpersonal problems caused by or worsened by drinking Despite negative outcomes resulting from drinking, the alcoholic continues to drink to try to attain the feeling of euphoria they first experienced when they started drinking. Previously called alcohol dependence, this aspect of alcohol use disorder refers to a more serious kind of alcohol use disorder and involves excessive or maladaptive use leading to three or more of the following: Tolerance (need for more to achieve the desired effect, or achieving the effect with greater amounts of alcohol)Withdrawal symptoms following a reduction or cessation of drinking (such as sweating, rapid pulse, tremors, insomnia, nausea, vomiting, hallucinations, agitation, dizziness, shaking, anxiety, or seizures) or using alcohol to avoid withdrawal symptoms (for example, early morning drinking or drinking throughout the day)Drinking more alcohol or drinking over a longer period of time than intended (loss of control)Inability to cut down or stop Spending a great deal of time drinking or recovering from its effects Giving up important social, occupational, or recreational activities in favor or using alcohol Continuing to drink despite knowing alcohol use has caused or worsened problems Binge drinking (consuming several drinks over a short period of time) can occur at any level of alcohol use disorder. Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow: Facts and Statistics OTC and Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow Pictures Health Risks of Alcohol Abuse Slideshow Pictures What Causes Alcoholism? The cause of alcoholism is not well-established. There is growing evidence for genetic and biologic predispositions for this disease. First-degree relatives of individuals with alcohol use disorder are four to seven times more likely to develop alcoholism than the general population. Research has implicated a gene (D2 dopamine receptor gene) that, when inherited in a specific form, might increase a person's chance of developing alcoholism. Usually, a variety of factors contribute to the development of a problem with alcohol. Social factors such as the influence of family, peers, and society, and the availability of alcohol, and psychological factors such as elevated levels of stress, inadequate coping mechanisms, and reinforcement of alcohol use from other drinkers can contribute to alcoholism. Also, the factors contributing to initial alcohol use may vary from those maintaining it, once the disease develops. While it may not be causative, twice as many men are alcohol dependent. One study showed one-third of men age 18-24 met the criteria for alcohol dependence, and those who start drinking before age 15 are four times more likely to develop alcohol dependence. Men are more likely to engage in binge drinking or heavy drinking. They are also more likely to be involved in behaviors that harm themselves or others such as alcohol-related violence, using other drugs such as marijuana and cocaine, having sex with six or more partners, and earning mostly Ds and Fs in school grades. What Are Alcoholism Symptoms and Signs? Alcoholism is a disease. It is often diagnosed more through behaviors and adverse effects on functioning than by specific medical symptoms. Only two of the diagnostic criteria are physiological (tolerance and withdrawal symptoms). Alcohol use disorder is associated with a broad range of medical, psychiatric, and social effects, as well as legal, occupational, economic, and family problems. For example, parental alcoholism underlies many family problems such as divorce, spouse abuse, child abuse, and neglect, as well as dependence on public assistance, and criminal behaviors, according to government sources. The great majority of individuals with alcoholism go unrecognized by physicians and health-care professionals. This is largely because the person with alcohol use disorder is able to conceal the amount and frequency of drinking, deny problems caused by or made worse by drinking, there is gradual onset of the disease and effects on the body, and the body has the ability to adapt to increasing alcohol amounts up to a point. Family members often deny or minimize alcohol problems and unwittingly contribute to the continuation of alcoholism by well-meaning behaviors such as shielding (enabling) the person with alcohol dependence from adverse consequences of drinking or taking over family or economic responsibilities. Often the drinking behavior is concealed from loved ones and health-care professionals. Individuals with alcohol use disorder, when confronted, will often deny excess consumption of alcohol. Alcoholism is a diverse disease and is often influenced by the alcoholism sufferer's personality as well as by other factors. Signs of a drinking problem and symptoms often vary from person to person. There are certain behaviors and signs that indicate someone may have a problem with alcohol, including insomnia, frequent falls, bruises of different ages, blackouts, chronic depression, anxiety, irritability, tardiness or absence at work or school, loss of employment, divorce or separation, financial difficulties, frequent intoxicated appearance or behavior, weight loss, or frequent automobile collisions. Symptoms of intoxication include slurred speech, reduced inhibitions and judgment, lack of muscle control, problems with coordination, confusion, or problems with memory or concentration. Continued drinking causes a rise in the blood alcohol content (BAC) and high BAC can lead to breathing problems, coma, and even death. Signs of a drinking problem and symptoms often vary from person to person. There are certain behaviors and signs that indicate someone may have a problem with alcohol, including insomnia, frequent falls, bruises of different ages, blackouts, chronic depression, anxiety, irritability, aggression or lack of restraint, tardiness or absence at work or school, loss of employment, divorce or separation, financial difficulties, frequent intoxicated appearance or behavior, self-destructive behavior, weight loss, or frequent automobile collisions. Signs and symptoms of chronic alcohol abuse include medical conditions such as pancreatitis, gastritis, ( liver) cirrhosis, neuropathy, anemia, cerebellar (brain) atrophy, alcoholic cardiomyopathy ( heart disease ), Wernicke's encephalopathy (abnormal brain functioning), Korsakoff's dementia, central pontine myelinolysis (brain degeneration), seizures, confusion, malnutrition, hallucinations, peptic (stomach) ulcers, and gastrointestinal bleeding. Compared with children in families without alcoholism, children of alcohol-dependent individuals are at increased risk for alcohol abuse, substance abuse, conduct problems, violent behavior, anxiety disorders, compulsive behavior, and mood disorders. Alcoholic individuals have a higher risk of psychiatric disorders and suicide. They often experience guilt, shame, loneliness, fear, and depression, especially when their alcohol use leads to significant losses (for example, job, relationships, status, economic security, or physical health). Many medical problems are caused by or made worse by alcoholism as well as by the alcoholic's poor adherence to medical treatment. Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow: Facts and Statistics OTC and Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow Pictures Health Risks of Alcohol Abuse Slideshow Pictures When Should Someone Seek Medical Care for Alcoholism? Share Your Story People who drink alcohol to the point it interferes with their social life, professional life, or with their medical or mental health should contact a doctor to discuss the problem. The great difficulty lies in the fact that denial plays a large part in alcoholism. Consequently, alcoholics rarely seek professional help voluntarily. Often a family member or employer convinces or forces the person with alcoholism to seek medical treatment. Even if an alcoholism sufferer accepts treatment because of pressure from family, an employer, or a medical professional, he or she can benefit from it. Treatment may help this person develop motivation to change the alcohol problem. Alcohol is involved in 40% of motor-vehicle fatalities, 70% of drownings, 50% of suicides, and up to 40% of violent crimes, including homicide, rape, assault, and child and spousal abuse. It is imperative emergency care be sought immediately when alcohol has contributed to an injury. This is important because someone who is intoxicated may not be able to reliably assess the severity of the injury they have sustained or inflicted. An intoxicated person may, for example, not notice they have a fractured neck vertebra (broken neck) until it is too late and paralysis has occurred. Several alcohol-related conditions require immediate evaluation in a hospital's emergency department. Alcohol withdrawal requires emergency treatment. When withdrawing from alcohol, a person classically goes through four phases: tremulousness (the shakes), seizures, hallucinations, and delirium tremens (DTs). These stages are described in further detail: During the tremulous stage, the person will exhibit a tremor (shakiness) of his or her hands and legs. This can be seen if the person extends his or her hand and tries to hold it still. This symptom is often accompanied by anxiety and restlessness. Seizures can follow the tremulous stage. They are commonly generalized seizures during which the entire body shakes uncontrollably, the person loses consciousness and may lose control over their bladder or bowels. If you see someone having a seizure, first call 911. Then attempt to lay the person on one side so they don't inhale vomit or secretions into their lungs. If possible, protect the person's head or other body parts from knocking uncontrollably onto the floor or against other potentially harmful objects. Do not place anything inside the person's mouth while they are having a seizure. Hallucinations affect many people undergoing the late stages of major alcohol withdrawal. Visual hallucinations are the most common type of hallucination experienced during alcohol withdrawal. People will classically "see" insects or worms crawling on walls or over their skin. Often this is associated with tactile (feeling) hallucinations in which alcoholics think they feel insects crawling on their skin. This phenomenon is called formication. Auditory ( hearing) hallucinations can also occur during withdrawal, although less commonly than the other types of hallucinations. The most dangerous stage of alcohol withdrawal is called delirium tremens (DTs) and it is a medical emergency. About 5% of people withdrawing from alcohol experience DTs. This condition usually occurs within 72 hours after drinking stops but can occur up to seven to 10 days later. The hallmark of this stage is profound delirium (confusion). People are awake but thoroughly confused. This is accompanied by agitation, delusions (beliefs that have no basis in reality), sweating, hallucinations, rapid heart rate, and high blood pressure. Even with appropriate medical treatment, this condition is associated with a 5% death rate. Alcoholic ketoacidosis (AKA) is another alcohol related condition for which emergency medical treatment should be sought. AKA often starts within two to four days after an alcoholic has stopped consuming alcohol, fluids, and food, often because of gastritis or pancreatitis. Not uncommonly, AKA and alcohol withdrawal syndromes are seen at the same time. AKA is characterized by nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dehydration, and an acetone-like odor on the person's breath. This occurs when the alcohol dependent person has become depleted of carbohydrate fuel stores and water. The body begins to metabolize ("burn") fat and protein into ketone bodies for energy. Ketone bodies are acids that accumulate in the blood, increasing its acidity and causing the person to feel even sicker, thus perpetuating a vicious cycle. Alcohol use disorder is often associated with other psychiatric disorders such as anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, and psychosis. These psychiatric illnesses, often combined with a reduced level of sound judgment while intoxicated, leads to suicides and suicide attempts by people who are alcohol dependent. A person who has attempted suicide or is believed to be in serious or imminent danger of committing suicide should be taken quickly to the emergency department of a hospital.

The diagnosis of alcohol use disorder is generally made by reviewing the person's behavior except when the person has symptoms of withdrawal or damage to organs that is clearly the result of alcohol consumption. Alcohol use disorder is defined as the consumption of alcohol to the point at which it interferes with the individual's life from an occupational, social, or health standpoint. It follows that behavior exhibited by an individual with this disorder can be interpreted in different ways by different people. This often makes the diagnosis of alcoholism somewhat difficult. Several screening tests are routinely employed to identify people at risk for alcoholism. Such tests usually consist of one or more questionnaires. Commonly used tests are the Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST), the CAGE questionnaire, and the TACE questionnaire. The Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test (MAST) is a 22-question quiz often used in a clinical counseling setting. The CAGE questionnaire, for example, asks the following four questions. "Yes" answers to two or more of these questions indicate a high likelihood of alcoholism. Have you felt you should C ut down on your drinking? Have people A nnoyed you by criticizing your drinking? Have you felt bad or G uilty about your drinking? Have you ever had to drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves or get rid of a hangover ( E ye opener)? The TACE questionnaire is similar. It also asks four questions. The more "yes" answers a person has to these questions, the higher the likelihood of this person drinking excessively. Does it T ake more than two drinks to get you high? Have people A nnoyed you by criticizing your drinking? Have you ever felt you ought to C ut down on your drinking? Have you ever had a drink first thing in the morning to steady your nerves ( E ye opener)? A doctor may draw blood to evaluate your liver functions, check for the presence of anemia, and/or electrolyte imbalance (blood chemistry levels). Alcoholic individuals often have elevated liver function tests, which indicate liver damage. Gamma glutamyl transferase (GGT) is the most sensitive liver function test. It can be elevated after only a few weeks of excess alcohol consumption. Alcohol-dependent people may also have anemia (low blood cell count), as well as electrolyte disturbances including low potassium, low magnesium, and low calcium. Often the initial visit with a doctor is for medical or surgical complications of alcohol consumption. In those cases, the doctor will perform and order additional tests depending on the symptoms (for example, abdominal problems, heart failure, alcohol withdrawal, or cirrhosis). Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow: Facts and Statistics OTC and Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow Pictures Health Risks of Alcohol Abuse Slideshow Pictures Are There Any Home Remedies for Alcoholism or Alcohol Use Disorder? Alcoholism is best treated by professionals trained in addiction medicine. Physicians and other health-care workers with such specialized training and experience are best suited to manage alcohol withdrawal and the medical and mental disorders associated with alcoholism. Home therapy without supervision by a trained professional may be life threatening because of complications from alcohol withdrawal syndrome. Usually an alcoholic will begin to experience alcohol withdrawal six to eight hours after cutting down or stopping alcohol consumption. Several levels of care are available to treat alcoholism. Medically managed hospital-based detoxification and rehabilitation programs are used for more severe cases of dependence that occur with medical and psychiatric complications. Medically monitored detoxification and rehabilitation programs are used for people who are dependent on alcohol and who do not require more closely supervised medical care. The purpose of detoxification is to safely withdraw the alcohol dependent person from alcohol and to help him or her enter a rehabilitation (rehab) treatment program. The purpose of a rehabilitation program is to help the individual with alcoholism accept that they have the disease, begin to develop skills for sober living, and get enrolled in ongoing treatment and self-help programs. Most detoxification programs last just a few days. Most medically managed or monitored rehabilitation programs last less than two weeks. Many alcoholic individuals benefit from longer-term rehabilitation programs, day treatment programs, or outpatient programs. These programs involve education, therapy, addressing problems contributing to or resulting from the alcoholism, and learning skills to manage the alcoholism over time. These skills include, but are not limited to, the following: Learning to identify and manage what leads to cravings for alcohol ("triggers")Resisting social pressures to engage in substance use Changing health-care habits and lifestyle (for example, improving diet and sleep hygiene, and avoiding high-risk people, places, and events)Learning to challenge alcoholic thinking (thoughts such as, I need a drink to fit in, have fun, or deal with stress)Developing a recovery support system and learning how to reach out for help and support from others (for example, from members of self-help programs)Learning to deal with emotions (anger, anxiety, boredom, depression) and stressors without reliance on alcohol Developing a healthy, secure self-image that no longer includes alcohol Identifying and managing relapse warning signs before alcohol is used Anticipating the possibility of relapse and addressing high-risk relapse factors What Is the Treatment for Alcoholism? Readers Comment 1 Share Your Story A team of professionals is often needed to treat the alcohol-dependent person. The physician usually plays a key role in medical stabilization and facilitating treatment entry, but others are routinely needed beyond the initial management (for example, alcoholism counselors, social workers, physicians specializing in psychiatry, family therapists, and pastoral counselors). Treatment of alcoholism can be divided into three stages. Initially, the person has to be medically stabilized. Next, he or she must undergo a detoxification process, followed by long-term abstinence and rehabilitation. Stabilization: Many medical and surgical complications are associated with alcoholism, but only stabilization of alcohol withdrawal and alcoholic ketoacidosis are discussed here. Alcohol withdrawal is treated by oral or intravenous (IV) hydration along with medications that reverse the symptoms of alcohol withdrawal. The most common group of medications used to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms is the sedative group, also called the benzodiazepines such as lorazepam ( Ativan ), diazepam ( Valium ), and chlordiazepoxide ( Librium ). They can be given by IV, orally, or by injection. Diazepam also comes as a rectal suppository. Chlordiazepoxide generally takes longer to have an effect than diazepam or lorazepam and is therefore less commonly used in withdrawal emergencies. Pentobarbital is another medication occasionally used to treat alcohol withdrawal. It has an effect similar to benzodiazepines but is more likely to slow down breathing, making it less attractive for this use. Occasionally, the agitated and confused person may have to be physically restrained until he or she becomes calm and coherent. Alcoholic ketoacidosis is treated with IV fluids and carbohydrates. This is usually done in the form of sugar -containing fluid given by IV until the person can resume drinking fluids and eating. People with alcoholism should receive supplemental thiamine (vitamin B1), either by injection, IV, or orally. Thiamine levels are often low in alcohol-dependent people, and deficiency of this important vitamin could lead to Wernicke's encephalopathy, a disorder characterized initially by the eyes looking in different directions from each other. If thiamine is given in a timely fashion, this potentially devastating disorder can be completely reversed. In the emergency setting, thiamine is customarily given as an injection. Folate (a vitamin) and magnesium are often given to individuals with alcoholism, as well. Detoxification: This stage involves stopping alcohol consumption. This is very difficult for an alcohol-dependent person, requires extreme discipline, and usually requires extensive support. It is often performed in an inpatient setting where alcohol is not available. The person is treated with the same medications discussed in the treatment of alcohol withdrawal, namely benzodiazepines. During detoxification, the medication is measured carefully to prevent physical withdrawal symptoms and is then gradually tapered off until no physical withdrawal symptoms are evident. This usually requires a few days to a week. As physician-assisted outpatient detoxification has become popular, it may become more difficult to obtain coverage for in-hospital detoxification. Rehabilitation: Short- and long-term residential programs aim to help people who are more severely dependent on alcohol develop skills not to drink, to build a recovery support system, and to work on ways to keep them from drinking again (relapsing). Short-term programs last less than four weeks. Longer programs last for a month to a year or more and are often referred to as sober-living facilities. These are structured programs that provide therapy, education, skills training, and help develop a long-term plan to prevent relapsing. Outpatient counseling (individually, in groups, and/or with families) can be used as a primary treatment method or as a "step-down" for people as they come out of a residential or structured day program. Outpatient counseling can provide education on alcoholism and recovery, can help the person learn skills and self-image not to drink, and spot early signs of potential relapse. There are several very effective individual treatments delivered by professional counselors in outpatient treatment clinics. These treatments are Twelve-Step Facilitation Therapy, Motivational Enhancement Therapy, and Cognitive-Behavioral Coping Skills. A well-known self-help program is Alcoholics Anonymous (AA). Other self-help programs (for example, Women for Sobriety, Rational Recovery, and SMART Recovery) allow alcoholics to stop drinking and remain sober on their own. Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow: Facts and Statistics OTC and Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow Pictures Health Risks of Alcohol Abuse Slideshow Pictures What Medications May Be Used in the Treatment of Alcoholism? Several medications are available to assist the person in abstaining from alcohol consumption. Perhaps the oldest and one of the most commonly used medications is disulfiram ( Antabuse ). It interferes with alcohol metabolism, resulting in a metabolite that makes the person very uncomfortable and nauseated when consuming alcohol. The greatest problem with disulfiram is that people will often stop taking the medication in order to drink alcohol. To overcome this problem, disulfiram is available as an implantable device that is inserted under the skin. Fatalities have been reported when people taking disulfiram have ingested large amounts of alcohol. Disulfiram has been associated with several types of neurologic conditions, including optic neuritis (inflammation of the optic nerve ), which can lead to visual disturbances and eye pain. Other medications used in preventing alcohol relapse are naltrexone ( Re Via ), acamprosate ( Campral ), and a class of antidepressants called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors ( SSRIs ). Some researchers suggest that naltrexone and acamprosate seem to be the most effective medications studied, and that SSRIs are not as effective. Disulfiram seems to have a positive effect on maintaining an alcohol-free lifestyle, yet the magnitude of this effect seems to be rather limited. Therefore, naltrexone is being increasingly used. Studies suggest alcoholics who drink while on naltrexone drink less alcohol and have less severe relapses compared with those not on it. Acamprosate is sometimes used to stabilize the chemical imbalance in the brain cause by alcoholism. When compared to placebo ( sugar pills), it was effective in helping people abstain from alcohol. It is generally recommended that these medications be used in conjunction with alcoholism counseling. Is Follow-Up Needed After Alcoholism Treatment? The person suffering from alcohol use disorder must first make the decision to stop using alcohol. Without such a resolve, achieving long-term sobriety is unlikely. To avoid an impulsive relapse, the person's home should be free of alcohol. The person should enroll in a social support group or counseling program. Also, social situations that encourage alcohol consumption should be avoided. Cognitive behavioral therapy, aversion therapy, family therapy, and group psychotherapy can all be helpful. If medication is prescribed to help maintain sobriety, the person must take the medication according to a strict schedule. Meeting with a counselor is essential. When the urge to relapse becomes strong, the person should immediately contact a member of his or her support group and discuss the urge in an effort to resist it. Is It Possible to Prevent Alcoholism? Prevention of alcoholism is best accomplished by abstinence. You must first have access to alcohol before becoming dependent on the substance. A strong family history of alcoholism is a warning you are at increased risk of becoming dependent on alcohol. Increased awareness of such a risk factor may help modify your attitude toward alcohol consumption. A strong social support system and early medical or psychiatric intervention may also help prevent the escalating consumption of alcohol so characteristic of alcoholism. Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow: Facts and Statistics OTC and Prescription Drug Abuse Slideshow Pictures Health Risks of Alcohol Abuse Slideshow Pictures What Is the Prognosis of Alcoholism? Remaining alcohol-free is a very difficult task for most people with alcohol use disorder. Individuals who do not seek help after detoxification tend to have a high relapse rate. Four key factors may increase the relapse rate: Less education about addiction and ways to resist urges to relapse Higher levels of frustration and anger More extensive history of cravings and other withdrawal symptoms More frequent consumption of alcohol prior to treatment If a person continues to drink excessively after numerous or ongoing treatments, their prognosis is very poor. Persistent heavy drinkers will often succumb to the effects of alcohol. Alcohol use disorder is a chronic disease not unlike diabetes or congestive heart failure. If alcoholism is considered a chronic disease, a treatment success rate of 50% is similar to the success rates in other chronic illnesses.

Invasion of Sicily - World War II - HISTORY.com Invasion of Sicily A+E Networks Introduction After defeating Italy and Germany in the North African Campaign (November 8, 1942-May 13, 1943) of World War II (1939-45), the United States and Great Britain, the leading Allied powers, looked ahead to the invasion of occupied Europe and the final defeat of Nazi Germany. The Allies decided to move next against Italy, hoping an Allied invasion would remove that fascist regime from the war, secure the central Mediterranean and divert German divisions from the northwest coast of France where the Allies planned to attack in the near future. The Allies’ Italian Campaign began with the invasion of Sicily in July 1943. After 38 days of fighting, the U.S. and Great Britain successfully drove German and Italian troops from Sicily and prepared to assault the Italian mainland. Google The Allies Target Italy When the Allies won the North African Campaign on May 13, 1943, a quarter-million German and Italian troops surrendered at Tunisia, on the north coast of Africa. With the huge Allied army and navy in the southern Mediterranean now freed for further action, British and American strategists faced two options: Transfer these forces north for the impending invasion of Europe from the English Channel, or remain in theater to strike at southern Italy, which British Prime Minister Winston Churchill (1874-1965) called “the soft underbelly of Europe.” At this crossroads, the Allies, after some dissension, decided to press north into Italy. The stepping stone to its mainland would be the island of Sicily, in part because the Allies could depend on fighter cover from air bases on British Malta, 60 miles south of Sicily and recently freed from a siege by Axis forces. Did You Know? British Lieutenant Commander Ewen Montagu (1901-1985), mastermind of Operation Mincemeat, described the ingenious counterintelligence operation in his 1954 book "The Man Who Never Was." A 1957 film of the same name featured Montagu in a cameo as a British intelligence officer critical of the plan. The invasion was assisted by some subterfuge. In April 1943, a month before the Allied victory in North Africa, German agents recovered the body of a British Royal Marine pilot from the waters off a Spanish beach. Documents in an attaché case handcuffed to the officer’s wrist provided a goldmine of intelligence about the Allies’ secret plans, and German agents quickly sent the documents up the chain of command where they soon reached German leader Adolf Hitler (1889-1945). Hitler studied the captured plans carefully, and, taking full advantage of their top-secret details, directed his troops and ships to reinforce the islands of Sardinia and Corsica, west of Italy, against an impending Allied invasion. There was only one problem: The recovered body–which was not a Royal Marine but actually a homeless man from Wales who had committed suicide–and its documents, were an elaborate British diversion called Operation Mincemeat. By the time Hitler redirected his troops in the summer of 1943, a massive Allied invasion force was sailing to Sicily. The Allies Land at Sicily The invasion of Sicily, code-named Operation Husky, began before dawn on July 10, 1943, with combined air and sea landings involving 150,000 troops, 3,000 ships and 4,000 aircraft, all directed at the southern shores of the island. This massive assault was nearly cancelled the previous day when a summer storm arose and caused serious difficulties for paratroopers dropping behind enemy lines that night. However, the storm also worked to the Allies’ advantage when Axis defenders along the Sicilian coast judged that no commander would attempt amphibious landings in such wind and rain. By the afternoon of July 10, supported by shattering naval and aerial bombardments of enemy positions, 150,000 Allied troops reached the Sicilian shores, bringing along 600 tanks. The landings progressed with Lieutenant General George S. Patton (1885-1945) commanding American ground forces and General Bernard L. Montgomery (1887-1976) leadin
Donald "The Great Santini" Conroy (April 4, 1921 – May 9, 1998) was a United States Marine Corps colonel and a member of the famed Black Sheep Squadron during the Korean War. He was also a veteran of World War II and of two tours of duty in Vietnam. He is best known for being the inspiration for the character LtCol. "Bull" Meecham in "The Great Santini" which was written by his son Pat Conroy.
The 15th century was a time of Islamic economic expansion, known as the Valencian Golden Age, in which culture and the arts flourished. Concurrent population growth made Valencia the most populous city in the Crown of Aragon. Local industry, led by textile production, reached a great development, and a financial institution, the Canvi de Taula, was created to support municipal banking operations; Valencian bankers lent funds to Queen Isabella I of Castile for Columbus's voyage in 1492. At the end of the century the Silk Exchange (Llotja de la Seda) building was erected as the city became a commercial emporium that attracted merchants from all over Europe.
Treadway Racing is a former auto racing team that competed in the early seasons of the Indy Racing League IndyCar Series. The team was owned by Indianapolis business man Fred Treadway. Prior to the IRL's inaugural season in 1996, Treadway was able to sign former Indianapolis 500 Champion Arie Luyendyk to drive for his freshman team. Additionally, two long time backers of IndyCar teams, Bryant Heating & Cooling Systems and Jonathan Byrd's Cafeteria, were secured as sponsors. Luyendyk brought home the team's first win in their second race together, winning the Dura-Lube 200 at Phoenix International Raceway. Later that season Luyendyk would set two qualifying records at the Indianapolis 500. Luyendyk would run 236.986 mi/h over the four lap run, during this run he also set the one-lap record of 237.498-mph. This run would not put Luyendyk on the pole position however, as the run was on the second day of time trials. Luyendyk's attempt on the first day of qualifications was disallowed when he failed technical inspection although it was good enough for the pole. His day two attempt was faster than his day one attempt. Ultimately Luyendyk was knocked out of the race in an accident.
If the Democratic National Committee completes its expected settlement on May 31, Florida and Michigan will each get half of their votes counted. Translated to popular votes, that would subtract about 325,000 votes from Hillary, putting Obama back into the lead. Beyond not being official numbers, there's another problem with counting Michigan in these totals.
Definitions vary on the precise boundaries of the Appalachians. The United States Geological Survey (USGS) defines the Appalachian Highlands physiographic division as consisting of thirteen provinces: the Atlantic Coast Uplands, Eastern Newfoundland Atlantic, Maritime Acadian Highlands, Maritime Plain, Notre Dame and Mégantic Mountains, Western Newfoundland Mountains, Piedmont, Blue Ridge, Valley and Ridge, Saint Lawrence Valley, Appalachian Plateaus, New England province, and the Adirondack provinces. A common variant definition does not include the Adirondack Mountains, which geologically belong to the Grenville Orogeny and have a different geological history from the rest of the Appalachians.
The use of drones by the Central Intelligence Agency in Pakistan to carry out operations associated with the Global War on Terror sparks debate over sovereignty and the laws of war. The U.S. Government uses the CIA rather than the U.S. Air Force for strikes in Pakistan in order to avoid breaching sovereignty through military invasion. The United States was criticized by[according to whom?] a report on drone warfare and aerial sovereignty for abusing the term 'Global War on Terror' to carry out military operations through government agencies without formally declaring war.

Seventeenth Amendment to the United States Constitution The Seventeenth Amendment (Amendment XVII) to the United States Constitution established the popular election of United States Senators by the people of the states. The amendment supersedes Article I, ยง3, Clauses 1 and 2 of the Constitution, under which senators were elected by state legislatures. It also alters the procedure for filling vacancies in the Senate, allowing for state legislatures to permit their governors to make temporary appointments until a special election can be held.
North Carolina made the smallest per-capita contribution to the war of any state, as only 7,800 men joined the Continental Army under General George Washington; an additional 10,000 served in local militia units under such leaders as General Nathanael Greene. There was some military action, especially in 1780–81. Many Carolinian frontiersmen had moved west over the mountains, into the Washington District (later known as Tennessee), but in 1789, following the Revolution, the state was persuaded to relinquish its claim to the western lands. It ceded them to the national government so that the Northwest Territory could be organized and managed nationally.
Battles of Lexington and Concord The Battles of Lexington and Concord were the first military engagements of the American Revolutionary War.[9] The battles were fought on April 19, 1775 in Middlesex County, Province of Massachusetts Bay, within the towns of Lexington, Concord, Lincoln, Menotomy (present-day Arlington), and Cambridge. They marked the outbreak of armed conflict between the Kingdom of Great Britain and its thirteen colonies in America.
Ring a Ring o' Roses "Ring a Ring o' Roses" or "Ring Around the Rosie" or "Ring a Ring o' Rosie" is a nursery rhyme or folksong and playground singing game. It first appeared in print in 1881, but it is reported that a version was already being sung to the current tune in the 1790s and similar rhymes are known from across Europe. It has a Roud Folk Song Index number of 7925. Urban legend says the song originally described the plague, specifically the Great Plague of London, or the Black Death, but folklorists reject this idea.[2]

Generally taken every 6 to 8 hours, the maximum dose of NSAIDs per day is 2400 mg which is 12 over-the-counter tablets. Liver-safe: Ibuprofen and other NSAIDS rarely affect the liver.Unlike acetaminophen (Tylenol) most NSAIDs are absorbed completely and have negligible first-pass hepatic (liver) metabolism.In other words, the way NSAIDS are metabolized makes liver toxicity (hepatotoxicity) very rare.buprofen and other NSAIDs inhibit prostaglandins, and that can cause a problem because prostaglandins dilate blood vessels leading to the kidneys. Inhibiting prostaglandins may lead to kidney ischemia (dead tissue from decreased blood flow) and thus acute kidney injury.
Paulistas are the inhabitants of the state of São Paulo , Brazil , and of its antecessor the Capitaincy of São Vicente , whose capital early shifted from the village of São Vicente to the one of São Paulo dos Campos de Piratininga . The early population of São Paulo consisted mainly of indigenous Amerindian with few Portuguese settlers . The Portuguese settlements were small . As the Bandeirantes gained power and the vice-kingdom of Brazil developed , the Portuguese element predominated in the population , the Indians being either absorbed or killed . But the province of São Paulo , enlarged by the Bandeiras to include Mato Grosso , Goiás , Paraná and Santa Catarina , remained undeveloped , having neither the gold of Minas Gerais nor the sugar cane of Pernambuco . As a consequence , it did not receive the same influx of black slaves during the 16th and 17th centuries as the more prosperous provinces of Brazil . Nevertheless , the number of black slaves increased substantially in São Paulo during the Brazilian Empire , as the slave traffic reached its peak during the first half of the 19th century . After the abolition of the international slave trade in 1850 , many more slaves were transferred from declining regions of Brazil -LRB- such as the Northeast -RRB- to work in coffee plantations . The economic development of São Paulo only really took off with the founding of coffee plantations in the nineteenth century . Those coffee plantations were manned , from the beginning , by slaves , and remained so during most of the 19th century . Not even the abolition of the transatlantic trade changed this , with the coffee barons resorting to the import of slaves from the Northeastern and Southern regions . Both the coffee planters and the Brazilian government , however , were aware that the abolition of slavery could be postponed but not avoided at all ; as a result , a few experiments in immigration were tried during this period , and some ideas were discussed , including the immigration of Chinese workers . Only in the 1880s , however , did immigration start in earnest . From then on , immigration was the solution adopted to what was seen as a labour shortage , and Italian and Spanish immigrants made the bulk of the workers brought to coffee plantations ; the reasons why ex-slaves were not employed , or were only marginally employed , are unclear and subject to debate . Much is made of a supposed `` whitening '' ideology , or even `` program '' , but the cold fact is that , when faced with the impossibility of obtaining European manpower , the coffee barons had no qualms about resorting to Japanese immigrants . A curious fact from this period was the immigration of US Southerners moving from a country where slavery had been abolished to one where it still existed . Of course , those were not manual workers and did n't come to work in coffee plantations . The wealth produced by coffee culture eventually sparked urbanisation and industrialisation ; the growing urban environment attracted even more immigrants , especially Armenians and other Europeans , Syrians and Lebanese . Later , as the foreign immigration declined , a strong chain of internal migration from the Brazilian Northeast developed .

Role of the United States in the Vietnam War The role of the United States in the Vietnam War began after World War II and escalated into full commitment during the Vietnam War from 1955 to 1975. The U.S. involvement in South Vietnam stemmed from 20 long years of political and economic action. These had the common incentive of ending the growing communist domination in Vietnam. At the time, French forces, allies of the U.S., were backed by America â€” President Harry S. Truman provided progressively increasing amounts of financial and military assistance to French forces fighting in Vietnam. From the spring of 1950, their involvement increased from just assisting French troops to providing direct military assistance to the associated states (Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia). Eventually, U.S. missions were carried out at a more constant rate by sending out increasing number of military assistance from the United States. Their main intent was to restrict the Communist domination that was present in the government of Vietnam as it would soon lead to a chain of neighbouring countries adopting the same. This would have resulted in a change in balance of power throughout Southeast Asia. The U.S. foreign policy establishment saw national security interests being disturbed due to the rise of this communist expansion and strived to take any measure to end it. Their actions came to be questioned by other segments of government and society, however, including the US congress.[1].
Solar eclipse of August 21, 2017 Prior to this event, no solar eclipse had been visible across the entire contiguous United States since June 8, 1918; not since the February 1979 eclipse had a total eclipse been visible from anywhere in the mainland United States.[6] The path of totality touched 14 states, and the rest of the U.S. had a partial eclipse.[6] The area of the path of totality was about 16 percent of the area of the United States,[7] with most of this area over the ocean, not land. The event's shadow began to cover land on the Oregon coast as a partial eclipse at 4:05 p.m. UTC (9:05 a.m. PDT), with the total eclipse beginning there at 5:16 p.m. UTC (10:16 a.m. PDT); the total eclipse's land coverage ended along the South Carolina coast at about 6:44 p.m. UTC (2:44 p.m. EDT).[6] Visibility as a partial eclipse in Honolulu, Hawaii began with sunrise at 4:20 p.m. UTC (6:20 a.m. HST) and ended by 5:25 p.m. UTC (7:25 a.m. HST).[8]
The Greater Richmond area was named the third-best city for business by MarketWatch in September 2007, ranking behind only the Minneapolis and Denver areas and just above Boston. The area is home to six Fortune 500 companies: electric utility Dominion Resources; CarMax; Owens & Minor; Genworth Financial; MeadWestvaco; McKesson Medical-Surgical and Altria Group. However, only Dominion Resources and MeadWestvaco are headquartered within the city of Richmond; the others are located in the neighboring counties of Henrico and Hanover. In 2008, Altria moved its corporate HQ from New York City to Henrico County, adding another Fortune 500 corporation to Richmond's list. In February 2006, MeadWestvaco announced that they would move from Stamford, Connecticut, to Richmond in 2008 with the help of the Greater Richmond Partnership, a regional economic development organization that also helped locate Aditya Birla Minacs, Amazon.com, and Honeywell International, to the region.

Ireland 1798-1921 page 3 7. THE LIBERALS AND HOME RULE In the years following the Phoenix Park murders and the formation of the National League Parnell tightened his grip on the home rule party. This ensured that at the next election, during November and December 1885, Parnell led a stronger and more homogenous party. The party was to have fewer landlords and fewer MPs of Fenian extraction than previously. Parnell in the last year or so of the Liberal government started to explore the possibility of an agreement with the Conservatives, he did not just dwell on the possibility of reviving an understanding with the Liberals. In 1883 and 1884 Parnell fostered links with the catholic church. He supported the hierarchy over the long-running university issue and dropped his support for the atheistic Bradlaugh. His alliance with the catholic church was also aided by a change in the views of the hierarchy. Like O�Connell before him it was not sufficient to mobilise the peasantry, the support of the leadership of the church was also essential. The Central Board Scheme Joseph Chamberlain, who had pioneered so much in English municipal government, devised his Central Board Scheme as a substitute for home rule. It would give Ireland �the widest possible self-government � consistent with the integrity of the Empire�; Chamberlain�s two main concerns were local government and the fostering of imperial links. Chamberlain�s imperialism was still in its relative infancy, but it was the bedrock of his opposition to home rule. Although somewhat suspicious of Chamberlain�s motives Parnell showed a degree of enthusiasm for the Central Board concept. The scheme would deal with education, transport and the coordination of a revamped county administration. For Parnell it was the first step towards home rule, which he saw as operating alongside the Central Board Scheme. Chamberlain, who had a keen interest in Irish affairs, was encouraged to believe by William O�Shea (once more a broker and go-between as in 1882) that Parnell had accepted this idea as a watered-down form of home rule. Chamberlain was furthermore encouraged by the seemingly positive attitude of the catholic hierarchy. Chamberlain was piqued by Parnell�s rejection of the scheme once it became apparent that Chamberlain was completely hostile to home rule and his scheme was a substitute for an Irish legislature. Gladstone, who had allowed Chamberlain to toy with the Central Board idea, together with the rest of the cabinet was not prepared to adopt the scheme. Although a non-starter the reactions to the Central Board idea are of some significance: its rejection by both Parnell and the Liberals help explain Chamberlain�s later bitterness towards both the home rulers and Gladstone, his pride had been hurt. This does not however account for his opposition to home rule (which was based on his view of the empire), but it does go someway towards an understanding of the virulence of his later attitude. Gladstone�s cavalier treatment of the scheme is illustrative of his self-absorbed arrogance, he made no attempt either then or later to accommodate or conciliate Chamberlain. There could not be room in the same party for two such supreme egotists. Moreover Captain O�Shea�s role as a go-between revealed his limitations, his rather pathetic pretensions and his duplicitous nature. By the early summer of 1885 Gladstone�s government was flagging. The Prime Minister at 75 years of age seemed to have lost much of his drive and seemed to be soldiering on so that Hartington and Chamberlain did not tear the Liberal party apart. He was no longer the GOM (the �Grand Old Man�), he had become the MOG (the �murderer of Gordon�); unpopularity and internal party squabbles seemed to be getting the better of him. His government fell in mid-June following the resignation of Chamberlain and two other ministers. Parnell had joined with Salisbury and the Conservatives in bringing down the government. With the collapse of the Central Board scheme it had been clear that little could be expected from the Liberals. Mor
Gender symbol The two standard sex symbols are the Mars symbol ♂ (often considered to represent a shield and spear) for male and Venus symbol ♀ (often considered to represent a bronze mirror with a handle) for female, derived from astrological symbols, denoting the classical planets Mars and Venus, respectively. They were first used to denote the effective sex of plants (i.e. sex of individual in a given crossbreed, since most plants are hermaphroditic) by Carl Linnaeus in 1751.[3]

The Muzaffarid dynasty, sometimes referred as Ahmedabad dynasty, were sultans of Gujarat in western India from 1391 to 1583. The founder of the dynasty was Zafar Khan (later Muzaffar Shah I) who was governor of Gujarat under the Delhi Sultanate. Zafar Khan's father Sadharan, was a Tanka Rajput convert to Islam, adopted the name Wajih-ul-Mulk, and had given his sister in marriage to Firuz Shah Tughlaq. When the Sultanate was weakened by the sacking of Delhi by Timur in 1398, and Zafar Khan took the opportunity to establish himself as sultan of an independent Gujarat. His son, Ahmed Shah I established the capital at Ahmedabad. The dynasty ruled for almost 200 years, until the conquest of Gujarat by the Mughal Empire in 1572. The sultanate reached its peak of expansion under Mahmud Begada, reaching east into Malwa and west to the Gulf of Kutch.

What's in a name? What's in a name? [ Victorian Web Home —> Authors —> Charles Dickens —> Works —> Great Expectations —> Theme and Subject ] In the first sentence of Great Expectations, Pip explains the origin of his name: “My father's family name being Pirrip, and my Christian name Philip, my infant tongue could make of both names nothing longer or more explicit than Pip. So, I called myself Pip, and came to be called Pip." The evolution of Pip's name mirrors changes in Pip's character in the course of the novel, but Pip's benefactor stipulated that he must “always bear the name of Pip." Once he comes into his great expectations, others begin to refer to him as “Mr. Pip," and Pip's first friend in London, Herbert Pocket, gives him a nickname as a symbol of friendship and familiarity: "I dare say we shall be often together, and I should like to banish any needless restraint between us. Will you do me the favour to begin at once to call me by my Christian name, Herbert?" I thanked him and said I would. I informed him in exchange that my Christian name was Philip. "I don't take to Philip," said he, smiling, “for it sounds like a moral boy out of the spelling-book, who was so lazy that he fell into a pond, or so fat that he couldn't see out of his eyes, or so avaricious that he locked up his cake till the mice ate it, or so determined to go a bird's-nesting that he got himself eaten by bears who lived handy in the neighborhood. I tell you what I should like. We are so harmonious, and you have been a blacksmith, — would you mind it?" "I shouldn't mind anything that you propose," I answered, “but I don't understand you." "Would you mind Handel for a familiar name? There's a charming piece of music by Handel, called the Harmonious Blacksmith." "I should like it very much." [Chapter 22; Place within the complete text of the novel ] ] Thus, the names Handel and Mr. Pip accompany Pip's transition into the life of a gentleman. However, Pip finds it painful to be called Mr. Pip by Joe, whom he distances once he moves to London. Joe's familiarity with Pip returns when Pip is sick and helpless in bed — “the dear fellow had fallen into the old tone, and called me by the old names, the dear 'old Pip, old chap,'" but Joe gradually becomes more distant as Pip grows stronger. The character of young Pip eventually returns in the form of Joe's child, whom Pip meets eleven years after leaving England for Cairo. Joe tells him, “We giv' him the name of Pip for your sake, dear old chap, and we hoped he might grow a little bit like you, and we think he do," and indeed Pip finds that he and the child “understand one another to perfection." Questions 1. Does Dickens use Pocket's description of his aversion to the name Philip to represent a symbolic casting-away of the old Pip? Does the name Handel better suit Pip, considering its homage to the The Harmonious Blacksmith by Handel? Is it of any significance that Handel did not personally name the piece The Harmonious Blacksmith, but that it simply came to be popularly known as such (it is actually just the last movement of Air and Variations from Suite No. 5 in E Major for harpsichord)? 2. How do the names used in Great Expectations reflect the characters with which they are associated? Besides Pip, consider the names Estella (derivative of 'star') and Abel Magwitch (the Biblical Abel is a shepherd and the second son of Adam and Eve, who is killed by his older brother Cain). 3. 'Pip' can also mean the seed of a fruit. Does Pip's growth in the novel parallel that of a seed into a mature plant, and if so, what fruits does he bear? 4. Compare the descriptive name of Anodos, the main character of the novel Phantastes, to Pip. 5. Was it normal practice in the Victorian era to change one's name in order to better suit a change in social position? It would certainly be easier to assume a new identity then than it is now— of what importance was this to criminals like Magwitch?
The politics of Vatican City take place in a framework of an absolute theocratic elective monarchy, in which the head of the Catholic Church, the Pope, exercises ex officio supreme legislative, executive, and judicial power over the State of the Vatican City (an entity distinct from the Holy See), a rare case of non-hereditary monarchy.

The True Stories Behind Favourite Nursery Rhymes \| The Huffington Post The True Stories Behind Favourite Nursery Rhymes 05/10/2012 09:52 \| Updated 22 May 2015 James Moore Parentdish UK Alamy You knew them off by heart as a child and now you're a parent you can probably recite the words in your sleep. Mums and dads have sung nursery rhymes to their kids for centuries. But have you ever wondered who the Grand Old Duke of York really was? Did you realise that Mary really did take a lamb to school? Here, our guide reveals the fascinating origins of some of the best known ditties... Sing a Song of Sixpence Believed to have been referenced in Shakespeare's play Twelfth Night. Putting birds in a pie, was a real form of entertainment at grand meals during the 16th century. Another theory suggests that the rhyme is about the dissolution of the monasteries by King Henry VIII with the blackbirds as the monks, his first wife Catherine of Aragon as the 'queen' in the parlour and Anne Boleyn the 'maid' in the garden. Ring a Ring o' Roses Opinion is divided on whether this rhyme is really about the Black Death which swept through Europe in the 14th century killing 25million people. The explanation didn't appear until the 1950s. But many maintain that the playground favourite refers to the symptoms of the bubonic plague – the ring being the ring of sores suffered by victims before they sneeze and fall down dead! Mary Had A Little Lamb Dates back to 1830 and an American poem by Sarah Josepha Hale which is said to have been inspired by a real event when a girl called Mary Sawyer, living in Sterling, Massachusetts, caused commotion by taking her pet sheep to school. The Grand Old Duke of York One version of the song dates back to 1642, but in this the culprit is the King of France. There are several candidates for the later version featuring the Duke of York. The most likely is Prince Frederick, Duke of York and Albany. He was the second son of George III who led a disastrous campaign in Flanders, following the French Revolution. Georgie Porgie Mad King George III's first son was also the subject of a rhyme. As Prince Regent and then George IV he was famous for his womanising and often lampooned in satirical cartoons of the time. He was also famous for his enormous appetite and, when he died, he had a waist measuring 50 inches. Pop Goes the Weasel Goes back to the 1850s with some suggesting that 'pop goes the weasel' was a reference to pawning goods. The Eagle in the rhyme was a real pub, which still exists, just off the City Road in London. It was then a music hall. Little Miss Muffet First seen in print in 1805 but thought to date back to Dr Thomas Muffet, known to have studied spiders in the 16th century.

No one knows for sure but it is recorded as far back as the 18th century and the fashion for wearing bells on the ends of shoes was popular at the end of the 15th century. London Bridge is Falling Down Goes back at least as far as the 17th century and there are similar old rhymes from Denmark, Germany and France. One theory has it that the rhyme refers to the sacking of the bridge by Olaf II of Norway in 1014. Others suggest that it simply refers to the old medieval London Bridge which, by the 18th century, was in a state of disrepair. Jack and Jill Jack and Jill as a 'pair' go back to the 16th century with Shakespeare referring to them in his play A Midsummer's Night Dream. There are several theories but the village of Kilmersdon in Somerset lays claim to be the source and there is a stone tablet recording it. In 1697 an unmarried couple were said to hav
