Luciano Pavarotti - Biography Luciano Pavarotti, Italian (1935 - 2007) Luciano Pavarotti, Cavaliere di Gran Croce OMRI (Italian pronunciation: [luˈtʃano pavaˈrɔtti]; 12 October 1935 – 6 September 2007) was an Italian operatic tenor who also crossed over into popular music, eventually becoming one of the most commercially successful tenors of all time. He made numerous recordings of complete operas and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for the brilliance and beauty of his tone—especially into the upper register—and eventually established himself as one of the finest tenors of the 20th century. As one of the Three Tenors, Pavarotti became well known for his televised concerts and media appearances. From the beginning of his professional career as a tenor in 1961 in Italy to his final performance of "Nessun dorma" at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Pavarotti was at his best in bel canto operas, pre-Aida Verdi roles, and Puccini works such as La bohème, Tosca, and Madama Butterfly. Pavarotti was also noted for his charity work on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross, amongst others. He died from pancreatic cancer on 6 September 2007. Luciano Pavarotti was born in 1935 on the outskirts of Modena in Northern Italy, the son of Fernando Pavarotti, a baker and amateur tenor, and Adele Venturi, a cigar factory worker. Although he spoke fondly of his childhood, the family had little money; its four members were crowded into a two-room apartment. According to Pavarotti, his father had a fine tenor voice but rejected the possibility of a singing career because of nervousness. World War II forced the family out of the city in 1943. For the following year they rented a single room from a farmer in the neighbouring countryside, where the young Pavarotti developed an interest in farming. After abandoning the dream of becoming a football goalkeeper, Pavarotti spent seven years in vocal training. Pavarotti's earliest musical influences were his father's recordings, most of them featuring the popular tenors of the day – Beniamino Gigli, Giovanni Martinelli, Tito Schipa, and Enrico Caruso. Pavarotti's favourite tenor and idol was Giuseppe Di Stefano and he was also deeply influenced by Mario Lanza, saying: "In my teens I used to go to Mario Lanza movies and then come home and imitate him in the mirror". At around the age of nine he began singing with his father in a small local church choir. After what appears to have been a normal childhood with a typical interest in sports—in Pavarotti's case football above all, he graduated from the Scuola Magistrale and faced the dilemma of a career choice. He was interested in pursuing a career as a professional football goalkeeper, but his mother convinced him to train as a teacher. He subsequently taught in an elementary school for two years but finally allowed his interest in music to win out. Recognising the risk involved, his father gave his consent only reluctantly. Pavarotti began the serious study of music in 1954 at the age of 19 with Arrigo Pola, a respected teacher and professional tenor in Modena who offered to teach him without remuneration. According to conductor Richard Bonynge, Pavarotti never learned to read music. In 1955, he experienced his first singing success when he was a member of the Corale Rossini, a male voice choir from Modena that also included his father, which won first prize at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales. He later said that this was the most important experience of his life, and that it inspired him to become a professional singer. At about this time Pavarotti first met Adua Veroni. They married in 1961. When his teacher Arrigo Pola moved to Japan, Pavarotti became a student of Ettore Campogalliani, who at that time was also teaching Pavarotti's childhood friend, Mirella Freni, whose mother worked with Luciano's mother in the cigar factory. Like Pavarotti, Freni was destined to operatic greatness; they were to share the stage many times and make memorable recordings together. During his years of musical study, Pavarotti held part-time jobs
George Strait On September 26, 2012, Strait announced that he was retiring from touring, and that his Cowboy Rides Away Tour would be his last.

The tour ended in Arlington, Texas on June 7, 2014. Strait was supported on the tour by his longtime eleven-member touring group, the Ace in the Hole Band. For the 2013 leg, Martina McBride was the opening performer.
Maharashtra Congress legislator Sangram Thopat on Wednesday condemned the alleged vandalism of Congress office by his supporters after he was not accorded the ministerial berth. This office was destroyed days after Chief Minister Uddhav Thackeray expanded his ministry by inducting 36 ministers. "What has happened is wrong and condemnable. Whatever decision leadership arrived on I agreed to that and I will agree with it in future too," Thopat said. The purported incident took place on Tuesday.

Iwo Jima and Okinawa in World War II: Home Front Iwo Jima and Okinawa in World War II: Home Front BACK NEXTFeb 19, 1945 - Jun 21, 1945By February 1945, the United States had turned back the Japanese advance in the Pacific and had re-taken a sweeping arc of islands that surrounded the enemy nation. For all these gains, however, two small islands remained crucial to an invasion of Japan: Iwo Jima and Okinawa. Located to the southeast and south of Japan, they were only 750 miles from major military and political targets. Their capture would bring even the city of Tokyo within the range of American B-29 bombers. Iwo Jima was attacked first. On 19 February, marines landed at the southeastern end of the island and began working their way toward Mt. Suribachi, a 550 foot dead volcano that the Japanese had turned into an island fortress. For two months preceding the attack, American bombers had blasted the Japanese defenses. But the almost daily attacks had forced the Japanese to just dig-in deeper. In addition to their concrete bunkers, they dug caves into the mountain linked by an intricate web of tunnels. Against these defenses, the US marines now had to advance. Subject to relentless gunfire and shelling from the artillery planted in the mountainside, they moved by the inch not the mile. It took four days to advance 1000 yards, scale the volcano, and plant the flag captured in the iconic photograph. But this was hardly the end of the battle. The marines still had to root out Japanese defenses stretched across the rest of the four-mile long island. American planes, dropping bombs and napalm, tried to force the Japanese from their concrete bunkers. Yet they clung tenaciously to their positions. In fact, they had been ordered not to mount suicidal banzai charges that secured their honor but exposed them to deadly fire. Instead, they stuck to their positions, forcing the Americans to roust them out bunker by bunker. The island was not fully secured until the end of March. Almost 7000 Americans were killed; another 18,000 were wounded. But the Japanese casualties were horrific. Only 200 of the 21,000 soldiers deployed survived to be taken prisoner. Next came Okinawa. It presented a far more serious challenge. The island was within range of the land-based planes in southern Japan but beyond range of American planes launched from the Philippines. The American landing would, therefore, have to be covered by carrier-launched fighters—carriers that would then be vulnerable to attack. The Japanese had also deployed more than three times the force on Okinawa than they had committed to Iwo Jima. On 1 April, American units landed along the central western coast of the island. Marines were sent to the north; the army was sent to the south. The marines encountered little resistance and were able to secure this portion of the island by the middle of April. But the army found the going more tough to the south where the Japanese had constructed more intricate defenses. Three well-fortified lines crossed the southern tip of the island—when the American troops managed to take the first line; the Japanese fell back to the second. This second line proved particularly difficult, but then, rather foolishly, the Japanese abandoned their defensive position in an attempt to drive back the Americans. The attack was repelled and, even more critically, cost the Japanese valuable reserves. Soon after the ill-advised attack, American forces were able to overrun the second and third lines. In late June, thousands of Japanese soldiers committed suicide rather than be taken prisoner. Suicidal warfare, in fact, became Japan’s last hope. Japanese Admiral Seiichi Ito piloted his massive 80,000 ton battleship—the Yamato—toward Okinawa without enough fuel for the return trip. He would not need it. Half way to Okinawa, the ship was sunk by American fighters launched from American carriers well beyond the range of the Yamato's guns. The kamikazes—that had made their first appearance during the Battle of Leyte Gulf—also showed up in Okinawa in force. Close to 2000 Japanese pilots flew a final mission for the emperor. But most of the damage they inflicted (about 35 ships) was on the radar ships sent to provide advance warning of the kamikazes’ arrival and smaller ships sent to draw the kamikazes’ attention away from the more valuable carriers. The Americans paid a large price for Okinawa: 12,000 Allied dead and another 38,000 wounded. But the Japanese lost more than 100,000 men and an island critical to the defense of Japan. The end of the battle and, perhaps more graphically, the tactics used by the Japanese during the battle, left little doubt that the end of the war was near. BACK NEXTCite This Page

Here’s how to grow cantaloupes in your garden!What is commonly referred to as a ‘ cantaloupe ’ is not actually a true cantaloupe—rather, a type of muskmelon. (True cantaloupe has a rough, warty rind and is not widely grown or commercially available in the US .) Their cultural and growing requirements are very similar to other melons and they have a net-like, tan rind, with sweet orange flesh. The names muskmelon and cantaloupe are used interchangeably. We will use the name cantaloupe on this page to avoid confusion. Planting Amend soil with aged manure or compost before planting. (Learn more about soil amendments and preparing soil for planting . )Growing the vines in raised rows, known as hills, ensures good drainage and will hold the sun’s heat longer. If you are in a cooler zone, start seeds indoors about a month before transplanting. Cantaloupe vines are very tender and should not be transplanted until all danger of frost has passed. If you live in warmer climes, you can direct sow seeds outdoors, but wait until the soil temperature warms to at least 65 degrees to avoid poor germination. Plant seeds one inch deep, 18 inches apart, in hills about 3 feet apart. If you have limited space, vines can be trained to a support, such as a trellis. Care Cantaloupe likes loamy, well-drained soil. Handle them gently when you transplant. Add lots of compost to the area before planting and after planting. Mulching with black plastic will serve multiple purposes: it will warm the soil, hinder weed growth, and keep developing fruits clean. Fertilize when vines start growing. Row covers are a good way to keep pests at bay. While melon plants are growing, blooming, and setting fruit, they need 1 to 2 inches of water per week. Water in the morning, and try to avoid wetting the leaves. Reduce watering once fruit are growing. Dry weather produces the sweetest melon. If you’ve had an exceptional amount of rainfall during the ripening stage, this could cause bland fruit. Once fruit begins to grow, prune end buds off vines. Your plants may produce fewer melons, but they will be larger and of better quality. Vines produce male and female flowers separately on the same plant. They often begin producing male flowers several weeks before the females appear. (Don’t be discouraged when the first blooms do not produce fruit. )Blossoms require pollination to set fruit, so be kind to the bees!Pests/Diseases Aphids Cucumber Beetles Squash Vine Borer Moths Fusarium Wilt Harvest/Storage When rinds begin to change from green to tan or yellow, the melon is probably ripe, but be careful not to pick too early. Look for a crack in the stem where it attaches to the fruit. This is a sign of ripeness as well. The fruit should be easy to separate from the vine, but if they fall off by themselves they are usually overripe. Harvest melon when vines are dry, and be careful not to damage them. They will soften after harvesting, but will not continue to sweeten off the vine. Cantaloupe can be stored uncut for 5 or 6 days. If cut, they can last in the refrigerator for about 3 days, wrapped tightly in plastic. Recommended Varieties‘Hale’s Best Jumbo’ — 80-90 days to maturity. Produces 3-pound, aromatic melons.‘Minnesota Midget’ — 70-80 days. Early variety suited for Northern gardens. Produces 1-pound, sweetly flavored melons.‘Bush Star’ — 90 days to maturity. Bush variety suits gardeners with limited space.‘Ambrosia’ — 85 days to maturity. Among the sweetest varieties. Wit & Wisdom Cantaloupe was named for Cantalupo, a former papal villa near Rome. If your muskmelons taste flat, the trouble could be a lack of magnesium in sandy soil. Sweeten the fruit by spraying the vines with this solution: Dissolve 6 ½ tablespoons of Epsom salts and 3 ⅓ tablespoons of borax in 5 gallons of water. Spray the foliage when the vines begin to “run” and again when the fruit is about two inches in diameter.

What causes this? Can we prevent cracking on future melons? French Melonsreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on August 8, 2017 - 4:31pm Hi Debbie,Melons crack due to stress, usually from soil that holds too much water or from inconsistent watering. In the fall, add compost to where you will grow melons next year to make for a well-draining mix. Also, melons enjoy p H of 6.0 to 6.5, so testing the soil never hurts. Plant next year’s melons in mounds 6 to 8 inches high to help with drainage as well. For watering, try to water 1 to 2 inches a week when there is no rain.thank u for the good andreply Submitted by naveenalatha shastry on November 7, 2016 - 3:56amthank u for the good and point by point information. i am living in south India, Karnataka state. whether it is advisable to grow snap melon in dry hilly area with little water ? which month is suitable to plant seeds? here rain starts at the beginning of june. pl advise me which verity is good . mulching is necessary in dry hill area? watering once in a week is sufficient?

We are having highs in the 70's this October, with lows in the 50's. But a low of 37 is predicted for one evening later this week, followed by a return to the 50's lows/70's highs. Will temps in the mid/upper 30's stop the ripening process (in which case I'll pick my melons and hope for the best) or will they continue ripening up until frost? Cantaloupe and Frostreply Submitted by Holly on September 12, 2016 - 9:33pm I live in Saskatchewan, Canada, and for the first time have planted cantaloupe in my raised gardens. I have two plants and 5 lovely green cantaloupes. However, we will soon be experiencing frost, and I am wondering how susceptible cantaloupes are to frost. I look forward to receiving an email with an answer. Thank you very much. Take Coverreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on September 13, 2016 - 11:20am Hi, Holly: Like all melons and “water-heavy” fruit, cantaloupes are indeed susceptible to frost. You will want to cover them with blankets or towels at night to help retain the earth’s warmth and then remove same during the day so that they continue to ripen in the sun. Labor-intensive, but it can be done! Good luck and thanks for asking!Cantaloupe sprinkled withreply Submitted by Chef Jean on September 6, 2016 - 12:31pm Cantaloupe sprinkled with fresh ground black pepper is great!Origin of Rocky Ford cantaloupe 120 years agoreply Submitted by Ruth Schultz on September 4, 2016 - 3:42am Where did the Rocky Ford cantaloupe seeds originally come from 120 years ago? Cantaloupe were not native plants.melon historyreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on September 6, 2016 - 10:35pm The modern melon we know today was not imported but was created by the Burpee company who introduced this cultivar in the early 1880s. This was a different kind of melon with a net-like skin covering. It became known as the Rocky Ford melon (named for the region of Colorado). It was landowner, politician, and entrepreneur George Washington Swink who helped built the melon industry; he transformed the region by developing a canal-based irrigation system; he also introduced honeybees to the region and invented the cantaloupe crate. Later, California and other states built up their melon business and surpassed Colorado.

I didn't know when to pick it. I picked it and cut it open but is was not ripe yet. Is there anything I can do to make it ripe after already cutting it open and taking seeds out.unripe melonreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on August 11, 2016 - 11:50am Once a cantaloupe is harvested off the vine, it will no longer sweeten. There are a few ways to ripen a whole cantaloupe if it was picked to soon, but not when it has been cut into. For melons already cut, you can try to get it to soften a bit by placing it in a container with a little lemon juice or orange juice. Place in the refrigerator until ready to serve (storing at room temperature can encourage bacteria). Use within a day or two. I am growing muskmelons forreply Submitted by KIM on August 1, 2016 - 6:41pm I am growing muskmelons for the first time. I got one round melon and the rest have been flat on the bottom when ripe. Any suggestions as to why this is happening?flat melonreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on August 2, 2016 - 4:27pm The most common causes of misshapen melons are poor pollination and/or dry soil or high temperatures. Either one of those extreme weather conditions could have affected your fruit. And the weather could have influenced pollination: it can be (and has been) too hot to achieve effective pollination. In future, try row covers to help to shelter the plant from extreme heat without sacrificing sunlight. The cover also helps to retain moisture—but note that the cover is not a replacement for mulch. We hope this helps.

We had this a year or so ago and everything squash related died. The bore digs into the vine and kills it. it can also harbor overwinter in your garden so if you are suspicious of this pest take all the vines off the garden and destroy them.

What is the best way to keep them from eating my plants? Earwigs on Plantsreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on June 14, 2016 - 4:45pm Earwigs like to hide so set out some traps such as a tuna fish can with ½ inch of oil in the bottom; set near shrubbery and ground cover plantings or against fences. Sink the can into the ground so the top of the can is at soil level. Dump captured earwigs and refill cans with oil. Also, you need to remove any leaves or weeds or areas where earwigs hide. Never have heavy ground cover such as ivy to grow near vegetable gardens. Watch out for mulches; they often harbor earwigs. Birds (chickens and wild birds) love to eat earwigs so invite them to your garden!Using Horse Manurereply Submitted by Gloria on May 26, 2016 - 12:30pm I love using horse manure in my garden, and I'm reading these comments, which say cantaloupe love manure. But I also read the plants like an acidic soil. So what I did was use half of acidic soil and half of manure, planted a few seeds in a pot, covered it with a plastic dome to retain the sun so the seeds germinate. I know I have to wait about a week to see if this worked, but did I use too much manure? And will the manure lower the ph level or raise it? Would really love to have a healthy productive plant this year. Hi Gloria,reply Submitted by Almanac Staff on May 27, 2016 - 12:18pm Hi Gloria,Melons love aged maure and compost. The manure you added is not going to change the p H value of your soil. Just make sure that the soil is well-draining and take the plastic off as soon as you see signs of seedlings. Good luck!Mulching with black plasticreply Submitted by Anymoment on April 17, 2016 - 3:34am I'm afraid I don't understand what you mean about mulching with black plastic. Should I lay black plastic sheeting down with nothing over top of it? Thanksblack plastic mulchreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on April 18, 2016 - 3:43pm Correct. Put nothing but the canteloupe vine on the black plastic mulch for the reasons given above. See below, for another option. One reader uses pine bark instead. (Many sources say that the pine mulch will have little to no effect on p H of the soil…but it doesn’t hurt to check it before planting again. )cantaloupereply Submitted by DAVE KRAEMER on January 26, 2016 - 7:54amcould you please send me a catologe thankyou. im a new gardener and don't know what im doing. please help me Garden Catalogsreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on January 26, 2016 - 10:46am Hi Dave, Click here for a page that lists garden catalogs.

Can I cut some of the vines and still have them grow and freshen the fruit already started? To save space, you can tryreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on August 18, 2015 - 4:05pm To save space, you can try training the vines on trellises. Be sure to support the developing fruit, with a cloth sling. Pruning the melon vines can make them susceptible to disease and insects, and the more leaves a vine has, the sweeter the melons might be. But if they are outgrowing the space, you can try pinching the growing tips of the main runner (s). This will sometimes encourage the growth of lateral vines that branch off the runner (s) and produce most of the fruit. Some gardeners do trim the lateral vines back as well and/or remove all but 1 or 2 fruit per lateral. This can help the plant to focus on developing larger fruit. To prune the lateral vines, one method is to: Select those that are developing fruit; cut them back to about 3 or 4 sets of leaves further beyond where the last healthy developing fruit is that you want to keep. Remove all but 1 or 2 fruit per lateral. Remove non-fruiting laterals, but be sure that you have at least four laterals on the main vine, with a healthy amount of leaves. About 50 days before first fall frost, pinch off developing flowers, leaving the remaining fruit to mature. I am in Sacramento CA. Wereply Submitted by Davi Rodrigues on August 6, 2015 - 1:18pm I am in Sacramento CA. We have a 9 foot long by 8 foot tall trellis that is supporting about 13 cantaloupe plants, and has just under 60 melons. The first 40 or so have been on the vine for well over the stated period. They have not turned yellow or produced the aroma of ripe fruit yet, and the plants are now at about 104 days, give or take. They seem to have stagnated as far as maturity. I've been watering with a line of drip emitters on each side. each emitter is 1 gallon per hour, and there's about 1.5 emitters per plant, with a watering cycle of 13 minutes twice a day. I recently cut back to hand watering to see if there would be any change, but as of yet there isn't. Don't know why they are taking so long to ripen. there mulch and compost around the base, it's not soggy by any means, and only recently have we seen the beginnings of aphids on one section. They look healthy otherwise, some are small and some are large and medium size, as well as some newer ones that came later still forming. Any ideas, or should I keep patient. The fruits are still greenish on the background and the exterior is properly rough. No sine of cracking around the vine If the vines and melons lookreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on August 11, 2015 - 12:03pm If the vines and melons look healthy they are still growing. Leave the melons on the vines until you see signs that the vines are starting to dry out or that the melons are ripe. You may have too many melons on the vines and that can cause some of the delay. Remove any new flowers and small melons that you don't think will mature. I leave in tropical zone ofreply Submitted by mugabo Dieudonne on June 20, 2015 - 1:17am I leave in tropical zone of Africa.

We're not sure what you meanreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on June 10, 2015 - 6:39am We're not sure what you mean by humidity. Cantaloupes require a constant supply of moisture during the growing season. High humidity could certainly lead to more problems with fungus and disease. Humidity is more of factor post-harvest when it comes to storage. We're also not clear what you mean by light. Cantaloupes grow best if the temperatures are between 65° and 95°F.

My suggestion to anyone wanting a work free garden (After planting) is to, ask you local farmer to drop off a (Mason Dump) truck load of manure in one pile. Take a shovel and, shove it into the pile with the spade straight down then pull it straight out to create a ledge (Strawberry Pot, Sandcastle kind of effect). Plant in the ledge be it seed or, plant and, let it go, walk away, you're done. The manure stays warm and moist all summer even in a dry year. If you plan on going on vacation for a month? Run the hose out and soak the entire pile so, you won't have to worry about it. I yield more zukes, cukes, melons, beans tomatoes, carrots, beets, pumpkins, watermelons, swiss chard, etc, etc, etc, and especially collard greens than I can eat, give away or, put up. I feed the animals any blemished fruits during the growing season to make next years compost even better. I still have collards in the freezer from last years harvest and they are still DELICIOUS ! I do not use store bought pesticide or, fertilizers of any kind. I did throw down food grade D. E. for the stink bugs last year and, it worked great but, it worked great on the bees and, my oh so loved ladybugs as well so, I had to hand pollinate which takes forever. This year I am raising praying mantis as my only means of pesticide. They will assist in pollination and, eat the stink bugs and other creepy crawlies. The ladybugs stand a chance this way too.

These are small melons, so somebody asked me if they should be treated like the midget melons or like full sized melons. Apparently they are a cross between an heirloom French melon and a regular Cantaloupe. They are currently being grown in Guatemala but there doesn't seem to be much specific info on them other than the name Melorange is a brand name rather than an actual species.

How long before the fruit starts to show and how can I tell the male from the female blossom? Cantaloupe requires 35 to 45reply Submitted by Almanac Staff on July 17, 2014 - 7:52am Cantaloupe requires 35 to 45 days to mature from flowering, depending on the temperature. Female blossoms have a small swelling or bulb at the base of the flower. Keep in mind that cantaloupe blossoms have a pollination window of one day. Pollen must be transferred from the male flower to the female flower on this day for seed set and fruit development.

Yes, absolutely! You canreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on September 12, 2014 - 7:26am Yes, absolutely! You can pollinate by hand. Even those with bees sometimes hand pollinate in bad weather to ensure it happens. You do need at least one male flower and one female flower opened. Then remove the male flower, strip its petals, and tap its pollen-covered stamen (stalk in center of flower) on the sticky center knob or stigma of the female flower. Or, you can do the same thing using a paintbrush and transferring the pollen.

Several of the "baby" fruit were over 2" long when they aborted. The one fruit was harvested the other day - flavorful, but not sweet; I must have overwatered. Could overwatering be the cause of the fruit drop? They are in a raised bed with great drainage. Could it be a result of a very long hot spell? Thanks for your help. Overwatering (especiallyreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on June 3, 2014 - 9:59am Overwatering (especially during the last stages of fruit development), lack of nutrients, or disease may cause bland flavor. The plant will normally abort about 70-percent of its female flowers once some are pollinated. Poor fruit set may be caused by inadequate pollination; if a flower is poorly pollinated, it may start to develop the fruit, but may then abort it in a few weeks, or the fruit may continue to develop but be misshapen. Poor pollination may be affected by cool, wet weather (bees aren't as active). Very hot weather can also affect fruit set. If you think your trouble is due to pollination, next time you might try hand-pollinating the flowers and providing plants nearby that attract bees; avoid pesticides that are harmful to bees. Water deeply but infrequently, and cut back a little on watering in the last stages of fruit development.

If you got lots of flowers,reply Submitted by Almanac Staff on September 23, 2013 - 5:04pm If you got lots of flowers, you may have had pollination issues. Are there enough bees around? Cantaloupe flowers have a pollination window of one day. Pollen must be transferred from the male flower to the female flower on this day for seed set and fruit development. Fruit size and shape are related to the number of seeds set. Poorly pollinated flowers either abort or produce misshapen fruit.

Dan from nyc If the melons haven't grownreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on September 15, 2013 - 3:34pm If the melons haven't grown for over a month, they probably won't grow any more. They will continue to ripen for several days at room temperature once they are picked. For faster ripening, put them in a brown paper bag. Cantaloupe can be challenging to grow in northern climates because they really need 2 to 3 months of constant heat. The cooler temperatures and the shortening direct daylight mean that the season is coming to a close. Next year, if you want to continue the learning curve, you could use black ground cover to warm soil and floating row covers to trap warm air near plants.

Harvest your cantaloupe whenreply Submitted by Almanac Staff on September 7, 2013 - 2:46pm Harvest your cantaloupe when the stem easily separates from the fruit. To avoid over-ripening, harvest cantaloupes before they naturally separate from the vine. The best way to check maturity of cantaloupes is to place your thumb beside the stem and gently apply pressure to the side. If the stem separates easily, the cantaloupe is ripe. A volunteer in my gardenreply Submitted by Dolores Walker on August 10, 2013 - 4:46pm A volunteer in my garden turned out to be a cantaloupe. It has vines all over the place and at first two cants appeared and grew large swiftly. Recently a third one died when it was about 4-5 inches. The vines are loaded with flowers, and some of them develop into baby cants, but they too die. We've been having vey hot weather, so I've been watering heavily (and incorrectly), and now I wonder if that's my problem. Is it too late to remedy the situation? I really appreciate this site!High heat might havereply Submitted by Almanac Staff on August 12, 2013 - 12:51pm High heat might have something to do with it; in high heat, the plant is under a lot of stress. Leaves and fruit may develop sunscald (browning). Another possibility is that there is poor pollination. In heat, bees are less active. Sometimes a poorly pollinated plant may develop small or misshapen fruits, or fruits that brown. Overwatering might also be an issue--although you need to make sure the plant gets enough during high heat, it can not sit in water. Let it dry out about an inch or two deep before rewatering; give about 1 to 2 inches of water per week. Cut back on the watering a bit after the fruits appear, to improve flavor. Check for pests and diseases as well--are there any other signs on the leaves, stems, or roots? Holes, browning, off-color, nodules on the roots, etc.? If it is poor pollination, there is time to remedy it, since you still have lots of flowers--there are male and female flowers. Heat stress--it depends on the vigor of the plant, whether it will recover; provide some shade, such as with burlap screens, if you have high temperatures again, and lay down a thick layer of mulch. If you have signs of pests/disease, you might bring a sample in to your local garden center for ID and control options. Pine bark mulch: _ _ _ Ireply Submitted by John Charlton on July 26, 2013 - 7:40am Pine bark mulch: _ _ _ I dug up a large area with a backhoe, and mixed in a few bucketloads of creek sand, a little lime and fertilizer. I then covered this with 8 to 12 inches of composted pine bark mulch (from a logging operation... There was originally a lot of leaves and wood chips in it..) The melon seeds were started indoors. I planted the seedlings in the mulch by making a little hole all the way down to the dirt beneath, and adding in a little potting soil... The seedlings were placed in there. These vines are going nuts! There are zillions of flowers starting to set fruit,. The pine bark may be a good alternative to the 'plastic'.

Yes, you could gently placereply Submitted by Almanac Staff on July 22, 2013 - 10:37am Yes, you could gently place ripening fruit on mulch or a stone or flower pot so it isn't on the soil; this may help prevent rot and deter pests. There isn't a rule about "when" -- perhaps wait until it's half-way to harvesting size. After your initial fertilization at planting, we would only side dress with a nitrogen fertilizer (21-0-0) after the vines develop runners. Use one to two tablespoons per plant or mound at least 6 inches away from the plants. Hi, I have the Hearts of Goldreply Submitted by Pam Duncan on July 17, 2013 - 8:43am Hi, I have the Hearts of Gold muskmelon and the melons are about 3 pounds now; however, they are more football shaped than a ball, the rind is white (not yellow or green), netting is nowhere near pronounced, and the ribbing is very deep. No crack on the stem. They are a little smaller than a kid's sized soccer ball and have been this way for over 3 weeks now. Is this normal? Will they ripen soon? Hearts of Gold melons arereply Submitted by Almanac Staff on July 17, 2013 - 12:23pm Hearts of Gold melons are normally 3.5 to 4.5 pounds. Odd-shaped fruit is generally caused by growing conditions. Bees must deposit pollen on all three lobes of the female flower’s stigma or a misshapen melon develops. Sometimes cold, rainy, or windy weather affects or reduces bee activity. Fortunately, your melons are close to the right size (3.5 to 4.5 pounds). Have your melons reached their "days to maturity"? Let the melons fully ripen before you pick them to get that last surge of flavor. Be patient. You'll know when it's ripe as the stem will start to separate from the fruit--and then separate cleanly. The rind will change color and the melons will develop a strong scent at the blossom end, and the leaf closest to the fruit will fade to yellow.

Trellis-type support would be desirable, and a tomato "cage" might be suitable. Support the melons with soft materials, such as nylons stockings (old knee highs or pantyhose) or netted onion bags. You want the fruit to get the air. Cantaloupes like temps at 70° to 80°F, well-draining compost/soil with a ph H of 6 to 6.5, and 1 to 2 inches of water per week, ideally in the morning; about three weeks before harvesting, cut back on watering by half to a third. Fertilize every 2 to 3 weeks with a 5-5-5.

In late February, large public rallies took place in Kiev to protest the election laws, on the eve of the March 26 elections to the USSR Congress of People's Deputies, and to call for the resignation of the first secretary of the Communist Party of Ukraine, Volodymyr Scherbytsky, lampooned as "the mastodon of stagnation." The demonstrations coincided with a visit to Ukraine by Soviet President Gorbachev. On February 26, 1989, between 20,000 and 30,000 people participated in an unsanctioned ecumenical memorial service in Lviv, marking the anniversary of the death of 19th Century Ukrainian artist and nationalist Taras Shevchenko.

Igneous rock can change into sedimentary rock or into metamorphic rock. Sedimentary rock can change into metamorphic rock or into igneous rock. Metamorphic rock can change into igneous or sedimentary rock. Igneous rock forms when magma cools and makes crystals. Magma is a hot liquid made of melted minerals. The minerals can form crystals when they cool. Igneous rock can form underground, where the magma cools slowly.
A homophone is a word that is pronounced the same as another word but differs in meaning, and may differ in spelling. The words may be spelled the same, such as rose (flower) and rose (past tense of rise), or differently, such as carat, caret, and carrot, or to, two, and too. Homophones that are spelled the same are also both homographs and homonyms.

SparkNotes: Pride and Prejudice: Chapters 1–4 Pride and Prejudice Chapters 1–4, page 2 page 1 of 2 Summary: Chapters 1–2 It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. (See Important Quotations Explained ) The news that a wealthy young gentleman named Charles Bingley has rented the manor known as Netherfield Park causes a great stir in the neighboring village of Longbourn, especially in the Bennet household. The Bennets have five unmarried daughters, and Mrs. Bennet, a foolish and fussy gossip, is the sort who agrees with the novel’s opening words: “It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.” She sees Bingley’s arrival as an opportunity for one of the girls to obtain a wealthy spouse, and she therefore insists that her husband call on the new arrival immediately. Mr. Bennet torments his family by pretending to have no interest in doing so, but he eventually meets with Mr. Bingley without their knowing. When he reveals to Mrs. Bennet and his daughters that he has made their new neighbor’s acquaintance, they are overjoyed and excited. Summary: Chapters 3–4 (See Important Quotations Explained ) Eager to learn more, Mrs. Bennet and the girls question Mr. Bennet incessantly. A few days later, Mr. Bingley returns the visit, though he does not meet Mr. Bennet’s daughters. The Bennets invite him to dinner shortly afterward, but he is called away to London. Soon, however, he returns to Netherfield Park with his two sisters, his brother-in-law, and a friend named Darcy. Mr. Bingley and his guests go to a ball in the nearby town of Meryton. The Bennet sisters attend the ball with their mother. The eldest daughter, Jane, dances twice with Bingley. Within Elizabeth’s hearing, Bingley exclaims to Darcy that Jane is “the most beautiful creature” he has ever beheld. Bingley suggests that Darcy dance with Elizabeth, but Darcy refuses, saying, “she is tolerable, but not handsome enough to tempt me.” He proceeds to declare that he has no interest in women who are “slighted by other men.” Elizabeth takes an immediate and understandable disliking to Darcy. Because of Darcy’s comments and refusal to dance with anyone not rich and well bred, the neighborhood takes a similar dislike; it declares Bingley, on the other hand, to be quite “amiable.” At the end of the evening, the Bennet women return to their house, where Mrs. Bennet regales her husband with stories from the evening until he insists that she be silent. Upstairs, Jane relates to Elizabeth her surprise that Bingley danced with her twice, and Elizabeth replies that Jane is unaware of her own beauty. Both girls agree that Bingley’s sisters are not well-mannered, but whereas Jane insists that they are charming in close conversation, Elizabeth continues to harbor a dislike for them. The narrator then provides the reader with Bingley’s background: he inherited a hundred thousand pounds from his father, but for now, in spite of his sisters’ complaints, he lives as a tenant. His friendship with Darcy is “steady,” despite the contrast in their characters, illustrated in their respective reactions to the Meryton ball. Bingley, cheerful and sociable, has an excellent time and is taken with Jane; Darcy, more clever but less tactful, finds the people dull and even criticizes Jane for smiling too often (Bingley’s sisters, on the other hand, find Jane to be “a sweet girl,” and Bingley therefore feels secure in his good opinion of her). Analysis: Chapters 1–4 The opening sentence of Pride and Prejudice—“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife”—establishes the centrality of advantageous marriage, a fundamental social value of Regency England. The arrival of Mr. Bingley (and news of his fortune) is the event that sets the novel in motion. He delivers the prospect of a marriage of wealth and good connections for the eager Bennet girls. The opening sentence has a subtle, unstated sign

She was gracious and professional and had her small child at the gig with her. Her husband was in the band. He was very protective of her and it was sweet to see that. She was playing a Hammond C3 through a JBL D-130 15 inch speaker in a small plywood box. She stood behind it in heels (painfull. now that’s professional). There is much more to her than Angel of the Morning. She rocked the place for four hours and at the time was one of the few female headliners. Later, Johnny Cash, a very hip man, had her on his TV show, not because she was country but because she was and is a world class talent. She took over the screen as she slowly walked to the front of the stage and made me realize that I wanted my own Angel of the Morning. She had stage presence very much like a young Bette Middler Robert Brown, The Centaurs, June 2007Merrilee - Photo Courtesy of Sandy Weedman Michael Kinder Merrilee - Photo by and Courtesy of Sandy Weedman"Don't let a step back keep you from taking the next step forward. "Our world lost a bit of its glow when our son, brother, uncle, friend, father and grandfather, Mark Hibbert, passed suddenly on October 22, 2011. Mark was born July 13, 1949 in Olympia, WA. He grew up in Everett, WA, moving to Lake Roesiger at age 14, in June, 1962. With the Beatles as inspiration, he begged for a bass guitar and began playing music and singing, soon after for dances and the Evergreen State Fair "Battles of the Bands". By the time he graduated from Snohomish High in 1967 he was already devoted to pursuing a career in music. Throughout his life, Mark honed his talents, often giving other aspiring songwriters the advice that "anytime you get a rhyme write it down". Early bands included Axis Drive, Superband , Fat Chance and Merrilee Rush and The Turnabouts. Though he enjoyed them all, the duo of Hiatt & Hibbert allowed Mark to perform original music with Randy Hiatt, his lifelong friend and amazing piano player, singer and songwriter. Many may remember them performing at the old Ricardo's Restaurant in Everett. For the next 12 years he performed as a single. Before his daughters were born, Mark moved from Beacon Hill to Marysville, WA where he would set down roots as well as tracks. He opened Whiskey Ridge Productions which freed him from the road and allowed him the privilege of providing a wonderful home for his children while producing music and video. The studio became the main focus for the rest of his life and many local groups benefited from his nurturing. But Mark never stopped singing, writing and playing guitar and bass. He added his talent to Jimmy Lee's Allstars, the Brian Bowman Band, Jessie Cooper & Friends, wrote music with his band-of-songwriting brothers, Nomad Fish, and for the last two years was the music director for the Hometown Band, performing at the Historic Everett Theater for the Hometown Hootenanny. He patented two widgets called Zap-It, to restring guitars and rapidly change drum heads during performance. His studio is a study in eccentricity, right down to his jury rigged mic stand that should be enshrined to his memory. Everyone who knows him recalls his wicked sense of humor. Mark worked hard at what he loved, found a way through every dark day and saw clearly the light in everyone he met. His many friends knew how important they were to him because he let them know often. Wayne Hayton was one such friend. Mike Miller and his mother, Roberta, were too. But to have a life-long friend is unique, and Greg (Sharon) Elwood was that friend for Mark ever since they were four or five years old. In the last month of his life, he was involved in a benefit for the Melodic Caring Project, a therapeutic music program for pediatrics. The day he left us, Mark was preparing for an evening performance with Nomad Fish. He died doing what he loved and with people he adored. Mark leaves behind his beloved family, Gale Prouty and their son, Jason Prouty (Erin Maxwell Prouty); daughters, Caitlin and Christiana Hibbert; and grandson, Nicholas Peterson; his mother, Dolores Melby Hibbert; brother, Scott (Karen) Hibbert; sister, Renee (Larry) Greenleaf; and brother, Randy Hibbert; Betty Hibbert (Clay); and Donna Hibbert (mother of his daughters). He was preceded in death by his father, Wally Hibbert; and his younger brother, Clay Hibbert. A celebration of life will be held at a later date.

Roy Rogers. For other uses, see Roy Rogers (disambiguation). Roy Rogers (born Leonard Franklin Slye, November 5, 1911 â July 6, 1998) was an American singer and actor who was one of the most popular Western stars of his era.

In 2014, the league announced the granting of a new franchise to former Mötley Crüe frontman Vince Neil, previously part-owner of the Jacksonville Sharks. That franchise, the Las Vegas Outlaws, were originally to play in Las Vegas at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in 2015, but instead played their home games at the Thomas & Mack Center, previous home to the Las Vegas Sting and Las Vegas Gladiators. After 20 years as a familiar name to the league, an AFL mainstay, the Iowa Barnstormers, departed the league to join the Indoor Football League. The San Antonio Talons folded on October 13, 2014, after the league (which owned the team) failed to find a new owner. On November 16, 2014, despite a successful season record-wise, the Pittsburgh Power became the second team to cease operations after the 2014 season. This resulted from poor attendance. It was later announced by the league that the Power would go dormant for 2015 and were looking for new ownership.
St Mary's Stadium \| Southampton FC \| Football Ground Guide Football Ground Guide Address: Britannia Rd, Southampton, SO14 5FP Telephone: 0845 688 9448 Ticket Office: 0845 688 9288 Pitch Size: 112 x 74 yards Pitch Type: Grass Home Kit: Red & White Stripes Away Kit: Black and Grey External View WHAT IS THE ST MARY'S STADIUM LIKE? The Club moved from The Dell to the new St Mary's Stadium in 2001. In some ways this saw the Club returning to its roots as it was originally founded as 'Southampton St Marys', hence the club nickname 'The Saints'. To be truthful the stadium looks, quite simply, superb. The stadium is completely enclosed, with all corners being filled with seating. There are also two great looking screens sitting on the roofs at each end. Running around three sides of the stadium, just below the roof, is a transparent perspex strip allows more light and facilitates pitch growth. On the remaining side there is a row of executive boxes. The crowd are set well back from the playing action, as firstly there is a cinder track surrounding the playing surface and secondly the pitch itself must be the largest in the League (although the playing area does not use all of it). Outside the stadium behind the Itchen Stand is a statue of former Southampton legend Ted Bates. WHAT IS IT LIKE FOR VISITING SUPPORTERS? Away fans are located in the Northam Stand at one end of the stadium, where normally up to 3,300 fans can sit. For cup games this allocation can be increased to 4,750. The view of the playing action and the facilities within this stand are excellent. Leg room is good, although the width of the seating seemed to be a bit narrower than other grounds (either that, or I am putting on weight!). The sizeable concourse behind the stand features a Ladbrokes, has TV's which show the game as it is played and a number of eating and drinking outlets. There are plenty of staff and the queues never seemed to get particularly long, which was a pleasant surprise. There is also a 'Pie & Pint' outlet, that as the name suggests, only serves beer and pies. Perhaps they should rename it as 'Heaven'! I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to St Mary's and would happily return. The stadium has (contrary to other reports) a great atmosphere and the facilities are first class. I particularly commend the Club for the friendliness of their staff, from the stewards to the catering staff. Even as I left the stadium, a steward wished me an enjoyable journey home! Considering that away supporters are almost treated with contempt at some other clubs, this was a refreshing change. Coupled with the relaxed attitude of the home supporters and the excellent facilities, then this to to me makes a visit to St Mary's one of the better days out in the League. Only one minor gripe though, is that away fans are searched before entering the stadium which obviously slows the entrance process down somewhat. Phil Jones adds; 'There was an excellent view from all around the ground and the atmosphere was good. I was impressed by their having toilet facilities around the perimeter of the ground which are accessible prior to the turnstiles opening. Well done Southampton, it's the little touches like these, for the fans comfort and enjoyment of the day, which make all the difference'. PUBS FOR AWAY FANS There are not many pubs located close to the stadium, so the choice for away fans is limited. There is the Waterfront Bar in William Street, which is an area called Shamrock Quay. You can visit the Waterfront Bar website for more details. Nic Hallam a visiting Wolverhampton Wanderers fan adds; 'In the Ocean Village we found "The Admiral Sir Lucius Curtis" public house. This large establishment had an an excellent choice of beers, friendly bar staff and a convivial mix of both home and away fans'. Most fans seem to end up in the city centre before the game, where there are plenty of pubs to choose from. Paul Hunt a visiting Bristol City fan adds; 'On our last visit the Standing Order Wetherspoons outlet was for home fans only, with bouncers on the door. We ended up in Yates W
Battle of Iwo Jima The Battle of Iwo Jima (19 February â€“ 26 March 1945) was a major battle in which the United States Marine Corps landed on and eventually captured the island of Iwo Jima from the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) during World War II. The American invasion, designated Operation Detachment, had the goal of capturing the entire island, including the three Japanese-controlled airfields (including the South Field and the Central Field), to provide a staging area for attacks on the Japanese main islands.[4] This five-week battle comprised some of the fiercest and bloodiest fighting of the Pacific War of World War II.
2022 FIFA World Cup The 2022 FIFA World Cup is scheduled to be the 22nd edition of the FIFA World Cup, the quadrennial international men's football championship contested by the national teams of the member associations of FIFA.

Sports in Cleveland The city has been home to several additional professional sports franchises, including a women's basketball team, multiple soccer teams, and a past incarnation of the Cleveland Browns now known as the Baltimore Ravens. Cleveland has also been home to several ice hockey franchises, beginning in 1937 with the AHL member Cleveland Barons. The original Barons, although having been the most successful team in AHL history at that point, moved to Jacksonville, Florida, where they subsequently folded after one season. The salient cause of the Baron's move came from Nick Mileti's short-lived WHA franchise, the Cleveland Crusaders, which shared the old Cleveland Arena with the Barons in beginning in 1972. The new league ultimately created a financial disparity that the Barons could not compete with. Local philanthropist George Gund III facilitated the relocation of the NHL's California Golden Seals to Cleveland in 1976 and renamed them the Barons. However, this latest incarnation was short lived, with the team merging with the Minnesota North Stars following the 1977–78 season. In 1992 the Cleveland Lumberjacks, of the also now-defunct IHL, began play and lasted until 2001. Later in 2001, a third incarnation of the Barons was established, this time having returned to the AHL. The Barons moved to Worcester, Massachusetts following the 2006 season.
<section begin=head />"Saturday Night Live" ("SNL") is a late-night sketch comedy and variety show created by Lorne Michaels. It premiered on NBC, a terrestrial television network, on October 11, 1975 under the title "NBC's Saturday Night". The show often satirizes contemporary American popular culture and politics. "Saturday Night Live" features a two-tiered cast: the repertory members, also known as the "Not Ready for Prime-Time Players," and newer cast members, known as "Featured Players." Each week, the show features a host, often a well-known celebrity, who delivers an opening monologue and performs in sketches with the cast. A musical guest is also invited to perform several sets (usually two, and occasionally more). Every so often a host or musical guest will fill both roles, such as was the case with Britney Spears in 2000 and 2002, Jennifer Lopez in 2001 and 2010, Justin Timberlake in 2003, 2006 and 2013, Taylor Swift in 2009, Bruno Mars in 2012, Lady Gaga in 2013, Miley Cyrus in 2013 and 2015, Drake in 2014 and 2016, Blake Shelton in 2015, and Ariana Grande in 2016. With the exception of Season 7 and several other rare cases, the show has begun with a cold open that ends with someone breaking character and proclaiming "Live from New York, it's Saturday Night!"

How Did the Months of the Year Get Their Names? \| Wonderopolis Wonder of the Day #89 How Did the Months of the Year Get Their Names? How did the months of the year get their names? Have years always started in January and ended in December? What is the Gregorian calendar? Tags: Listen Would you believe January was not always the first month of the year ? The ancient Romans used a different calendar system , and their year began in March and ended in February! Even though our modern system may be quite different from the ancient Romans', they gave us something very important: the months' names. Let's take a look at how the ancient Romans chose the names of the 12 months of the year . March: The ancient Romans insisted that all wars cease during the time of celebration between the old and new years . Since March was the first month of the new year in ancient Rome, some historians believe the Romans named March after Mars , the Roman god of war . April: Three theories exist regarding the origin of April's name. Some say April got its name from the Latin word meaning “second" since April was the second month on the ancient calendar . Others claim it comes from “aperire," a Latin word meaning “to open ," because it represents the opening of buds and flowers in spring . Still others think April was named after the goddess Aphrodite. May: May was named after Maia, an earth goddess of growing plants. June: Apparently, June has always been a popular month for weddings! The Romans named June after Juno, the queen of the gods and patroness of marriage and weddings. July: July was named after Julius Caesar in 44 B.C. Previously, July was called “Quintilis," which is Latin for “fifth." August: August was named after Augustus Caesar in 8 B.C. Previously, August was called “Sextillia," which was Latin for “sixth." Though we think of September, October, November, and December as months 9, 10, 11 and 12, these months were 7, 8, 9, and 10 on the ancient Roman calendar . This is how they got their names. September: September's name comes from septem, Latin for “seven." October: October's name comes from octo, Latin for “eight." November: November's name comes from novem, Latin for “nine." December: December's name come from decem, Latin for “ten." February: Around 690 B.C., Numa Pompilius turned a period of celebration at the end of the year into a month of its own, named after the festival Februa. This is how February got its name. January: Later, Pompilius added another month to the beginning of the year and named it January after Janus, the God of beginnings and endings. In 1582, Pope Gregory adjusted the calendar , so most western nations began celebrating the start of the year on January 1. This new calendar became known as the "Gregorian calendar ." However, England and the American colonies continued to celebrate the new year on the date of the spring equinox in March. It was not until 1752 that the British and their colonies finally adopted the Gregorian calendar . Wonder Words (18) Test your knowledge Wonder What's Next? Ahhh…the great outdoors.

Electromagnetic spectrum The electromagnetic spectrum covers electromagnetic waves with frequencies ranging from below one hertz to above 1025 hertz, corresponding to wavelengths from thousands of kilometers down to a fraction of the size of an atomic nucleus. This frequency range is divided into separate bands, and the electromagnetic waves within each frequency band are called by different names; beginning at the low frequency (long wavelength) end of the spectrum these are: radio waves, microwaves, infrared, visible light, ultraviolet, X-rays, and gamma rays at the high-frequency (short wavelength) end. The electromagnetic waves in each of these bands have different characteristics, such as how they are produced, how they interact with matter, and their practical applications. The limit for long wavelengths is the size of the universe itself, while it is thought that the short wavelength limit is in the vicinity of the Planck length.[4] Gamma rays, X-rays, and high ultraviolet are classified as ionizing radiation as their photons have enough energy to ionize atoms, causing chemical reactions. Exposure to these rays can be a health hazard, causing radiation sickness, DNA damage and cancer. Radiation of visible light wavelengths and lower are called nonionizing radiation as they cannot cause these effects.
Brzeg Synagogue - a former synagogue building , located in Brzeg , Poland .

This may have originally been as a result of people hatching and rearing young birds from eggs collected from the wild, but later involved keeping the birds permanently in captivity. Domesticated chickens may have been used for cockfighting at first and quail kept for their songs, but soon it was realised how useful it was having a captive-bred source of food. Selective breeding for fast growth, egg-laying ability, conformation, plumage and docility took place over the centuries, and modern breeds often look very different from their wild ancestors. Although some birds are still kept in small flocks in extensive systems, most birds available in the market today are reared in intensive commercial enterprises. Poultry is the second most widely eaten type of meat globally and, along with eggs, provides nutritionally beneficial food containing high-quality protein accompanied by a low proportion of fat. All poultry meat should be properly handled and sufficiently cooked in order to reduce the risk of food poisoning.

Tiber River Tiber River Historic river of Europe and the second longest Italian river after the Po, rising on the slope of Monte Fumaiolo, a major summit of the Appennino Tosco-Emiliano. It is 252 mi (405 km) long. Twisting in a generally southerly direction through a series of scenic gorges and broad valleys, the Tiber flows through the city of Rome and enters the Tyrrhenian Sea of the Mediterranean near Ostia Antica. Its major tributaries are the Chiascio, Nestore, Paglia, Nera, and Aniene. Below Rome, the Tiber branches out into a delta, the main channel being the Fiumara, with the Fiumicino functioning as a distributary branch on the north side. Some ancient writers allege that it was known originally as Albula--a reference to the whiteness of its waters--but it was renamed Tiberis after Tiberinus, a king of Alba Longa (an area centred on Lago Albano, south of Rome) who was drowned in it. Although the Romans made some effort to control the river's lower course, their ignorance of hydraulic principles prevented the development of adequate protection against floods. It is only in modern times that the Tiber has flowed through Rome between high stone embankments. Though the river varies in depth between 7 and 20 ft, there is some evidence that navigation upstream to the Val Tiberina was significant for the grain trade as long ago as the 5th century BC. Later, the shipment of building stone and also of timber became important. In its zenith, classical Rome was supplied with vegetables grown in the gardens of riverside villas. The importance of the Lower Tiber was first recognized in the 3rd century BC, when Ostia was made a naval base during the Punic Wars. It later became a commercial centre for the import of Mediterranean wheat, oil, and wine. Successive attempts to maintain Ostia, on the Fiumara, and the port of the emperors Claudius and Trajan, on the Fiumicino, were defeated by the processes of silting and by the deposition of sandbars at the river mouths. In later centuries, several popes tried to improve navigation on the Lower Tiber, and ports were built at Rome in 1692, 1703, and 1744. Navigation and trade upon the Lower Tiber flourished again between the late 18th and mid-19th centuries, when further dredging took place on the lower course. Silting continued, however, with such persistence that, within another century, the Tiber was only navigable at Rome itself. The Tiber Delta, meanwhile, had advanced about two miles seaward since Roman times. (Concise Britannica Online.)

Crankshaft position sensor. The crankshaft position sensor is the primary sensor of the electronic fuel injection and ignition systems in any modern car. It measures the rotation speed (RPMs) and the precise position of the engine crankshaft. Without a crankshaft position sensor the engine wouldn't start. The placement of the crankshaft position sensor varies.
A good feed conversion would be 2 lbs of feed to yield 1 lb of live bird weight. Anything less than that is great. The lowest I've ever seen was 1.6 lbs of feed to yield 1 lb of live bird. A system has been developed that stimulates more active crops and gizzards of meat chicken.

Depleted uranium is also used as a shielding material in some containers used to store and transport radioactive materials. While the metal itself is radioactive, its high density makes it more effective than lead in halting radiation from strong sources such as radium. Other uses of depleted uranium include counterweights for aircraft control surfaces, as ballast for missile re-entry vehicles and as a shielding material. Due to its high density, this material is found in inertial guidance systems and in gyroscopic compasses. Depleted uranium is preferred over similarly dense metals due to its ability to be easily machined and cast as well as its relatively low cost. The main risk of exposure to depleted uranium is chemical poisoning by uranium oxide rather than radioactivity (uranium being only a weak alpha emitter).

Romolo ed Ersilia ("Romulus and Ersilia") is an 18th-century Italian opera in 3 acts by the Czech composer Josef Mysliveček composed to a libretto by the Italian poet Metastasio first produced in Innsbruck in 1765 with music by Johann Adolf Hasse. The drama was one of Metastasio's last, shortest, and least popular. Mysliveček's setting of 1773 was the only other one known to have been produced during the remainder of the eighteenth cebtury. It includes significant alterations, in particular the introduction of new arias that augment the importance of certain characters and the re-ordering of existing arias. The alterations are not attributable. This opera (and all the rest of Mysliveček's operas) belong to the serious type in Italian language referred to as "opera seria". In Mysliveček's day, the opening aria, "Questa è la bella face," the duet that concludes the first act, and the quartet that concludes the second act were famed for their brilliance.

One early attempt at lengthening the playing time should be mentioned. At least one manufacturer in the early 1920s, World Records, produced records that played at a constant linear velocity, controlled by Noel Pemberton Billing's patented add-on governor device. As these were played from the outside to the inside, the rotational speed of the records increased as reproduction progressed. This action is similar (although in reverse) to that on the modern compact disc and the CLV version of its predecessor, the Philips Laser Disc.
Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (French: La Charte canadienne des droits et libertÃ©s), in Canada often simply the Charter, is a bill of rights entrenched in the Constitution of Canada. It forms the first part of the Constitution Act, 1982. The Charter guarantees certain political rights to Canadian citizens and civil rights of everyone in Canada from the policies and actions of all areas and levels of the government. It is designed to unify Canadians around a set of principles that embody those rights. The Charter was signed into law by Queen Elizabeth II of Canada on April 17, 1982, along with the rest of the Act.
BBC - History - British History in depth: 1066 Print this page Claims to the throne It all began with the death of Edward the Confessor, in January 1066. The Bayeux tapestry depicts Edward on his deathbed, offering the English crown to Harold, and this event is reflected in most of the chronicles of the time. Edward's corpse was eventually borne in state to his own new cathedral church at Westminster, and the tapestry shows Harold there, being offered the crown by the magnates of England, among whom must have been Edwin and Morcar. Harold was crowned at Westminster Abbey by Archbishop Stigand of Canterbury and Archbishop Ealdred of York. It is significant that only the former is depicted (and actually named) on the Bayeux tapestry, as his appointment had never been recognised by the Pope, allowing the Norman propaganda machine to portray Harold's coronation as illegal. On the tapestry, the members of the congregation shown as witnessing the event are facing Harold, but their eyes are turned towards Halley's Comet, which is depicted in the sky as a portent of the doom to come. Harold is seen receiving news of the Comet with fear in his eyes. William decided on invasion... These bad omens for Harold were important to William of Normandy, who was set on claiming the English crown for himself - omens as important as the 'promise' of 1051 and the 'oath' of 1064. This was because, despite his pre-eminent position, he required the active co-operation of his nobles for the great venture he was planning - the venture to invade England and become the English king. William could not just demand support from his nobles, he had to convince them of his case. He needed to show his followers that his claim was a lawful one, and that he had God on his side. So when he decided on invasion, he took elaborate measures to ensure he had strong support, and even sent an envoy to the Pope asking for his blessing. William did not move immediately. He only began plans for an invasion after Tostig arrived in neighbouring Flanders, looking for support against Harold in a projected invasion of Northumbria. This was the lever that William needed: with Harold occupied in the north, William could invade in the south. Whether or not he thought God was on his side, William's preparations were very down to earth. Top Harold becomes king Westminster Abbey, the site of Harold's coronation © On top of anything else, William must have been painfully aware that his claim to England's throne was actually the least legitimate of all the putative contenders. It rested entirely on a spurious promise, made over 15 years previously, and on the fact that William's great-grandfather was Edward's maternal grandfather. Harold had an equally weak blood claim, through the brother-in-law of King Cnut, although it was he who was Edward's last nominated heir. There were others with much stronger blood claims, among them Swegn Estrithson, King of Denmark, who was the nephew of King Cnut; and Edgar the Aetheling, grandson of Edmund Ironside, from whom Cnut had wrested the kingdom in 1016. Aetheling actually means 'throneworthy' and was the title given to the most legitimate heir; but a legitimate blood claim was only part of the issue. The crown would go to the claimant who could muster most support amongst the 'great and the good' of England. In January 1066, Edgar Aetheling was a minor, and with the wolves breathing at the door, the English magnates could not afford to risk the kingdom in such inexperienced hands. So they turned to Harold, the obvious power behind the throne, who, as we have seen, had prepared his ground well. Instead, William watched, and he waited... Immediately after Edward's death, the cards were flying and everyone was gambling madly. Tostig enlisted the help of a powerful Joker in the pack, the Norwegian king Harald Hardrada, an adventurer who had fought for the Byzantines in the Varangian Guard and was now trying to recreate the Viking kingdom of Northumbria. William had the other Joker, the Pope, in his pocket, and was drawing his Aces aroun
Attacks on Australia during World War II The only Japanese force to land in Australia during World War II was a reconnaissance party that landed in the Kimberley region of Western Australia on 19 January 1944 to investigate reports that the Allies were building large bases in the region. The party consisted of four Japanese officers on board a small fishing boat. It investigated the York Sound region for a day and a night before returning to Kupang in Timor on 20 January. Upon returning to Japan in February, the junior officer who commanded the party suggested using 200 Japanese prison inmates to launch a guerrilla campaign in Australia. Nothing came of this and the officer was posted to other duties.[1]

Bird migration is the regular seasonal movement, often north and south along a flyway, between breeding and wintering grounds. Many species of bird migrate. Migration carries high costs in predation and mortality, including from hunting by humans, and is driven primarily by availability of food. It occurs mainly in the northern hemisphere, where birds are funnelled on to specific routes by natural barriers such as the Mediterranean Sea or the Caribbean Sea.

Points To Remember About Ankylosing Spondylitis Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is arthritis that affects the spine. AS often involves redness, heat, swelling, and pain in the spine or where the bottom of the spine joins the pelvic bone. AS may also affect the shoulders, ribs, hips, knees, feet, eyes, and bowel. Treatments for AS typically include medicines, exercise, and proper diet. Surgery may be recommended in some cases. See your doctor often and follow the treatment plan your doctor gave you. Side and back views of the spine Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of arthritis that affects the spine. AS often involves redness, heat, swelling, and pain in the spine or in the joint where the bottom of the spine (sacrum) joins the pelvic bone (ilium). In some people, AS can also affect the shoulders, ribs, hips, knees, and feet. It can also affect areas where the tendons and ligaments attach to the bones. Sometimes it can affect the eyes, bowel, and very rarely, the heart and lungs. Many people with AS have mild back pain that comes and goes. Others have severe pain that doesn’t go away. Sometimes the spine becomes stiff. In the worst cases, the swelling can cause two or more bones of the spine to fuse. This may stiffen the rib cage, making it hard to take a deep breath.

The five 100-1 outsiders who won the Grand National : Features : Grand National The five 100-1 outsiders who won the Grand National Free Bet Mon Mome was the last 100-1 Grand National winner. Dan Fitch takes a look back at the five 100-1 outsiders, who defied the odds to win the Grand National. The Grand National course at Aintree has a reputation of being the toughest event in racing. Run over a distance of four miles and 876 yards and punctuated by 30 challenging fences, it's little wonder that sometimes the form book can go out of the window and a rank outsider can win the race. Since the race was first ran in 1839, there have been a handful of occasions when a real no-hoper shocked the nation by winning at Aintree. Here are the five 100-1 outsiders to have won the Grand National. 1928 - Tipperary Tim The first 100-1 horse to win the Grand National was Tipperary Tim. As the race was about to start, Tipperary Tim's jockey William Dutton heard a friend call out "Billy boy, you'll only win if all the others fall down." As fate would have it, 41 of the 42 riders did fall down, leaving Tipperary Tim to win the race ahead of the re-mounted Billy Barton. The two horses were the only finishers, after a melee at the Canal Turn in treacherous weather conditions. 1929 - Gregalach One year after Tipperary Tim made history, Gregalach became the second successive 100-1 shot to win the Grand National. The horse was given such lengthy odds having fallen at Sandown, just eight days prior to the race at Aintree. Gregalach's jockey Robert Everett rode a clever race in which he gradually gained ground on the leaders and overtook the legendary Easter Hero on the second to last fence, before winning the race by six lengths. 1947 - Caughoo As if the fact that the 100-1 outsider Caughoo won the 1947 Grand National isn't exciting enough, legend has it that his victory wasn't exactly legit. With the Aintree course covered in a thick fog, it has long been rumoured that Caughoo hid behind a fence in the early stages of the race, only to emerge towards the end of the race and win by 20 lengths. Caughoo's jockey Eddie Dempsey was beaten up by another rider after the race, but it seems that this was unwarranted, as photographic evidence emerged years later, clearly showing Caughoo jumping Becher's Brook on two separate occasions. 1967 - Foinavon The most famous 100-1 winner of them all was Foinavon, who entered into Grand National folklore by winning the race amidst a mass pile-up and ended up having a fence named after him. Foinavon was lagging behind the other 27 remaining runners, as they approached the 23rd fence. Popham Down veered wildly to the right as it came to the fence, which resulted in a melee. The only horse to jump the fence first time was Foinavon, who was lagging so far behind that his jockey John Buckingham could steer away from trouble. Although 17 re-mounted horses gave chase, no one could catch Foinavon. 2009 - Mon Mome A total of 42 years passed after Foinavon's victory, before Mon Mome became the next 100-1 winner of the Grand National. Venitia Williams became only the second woman to train a Grand National winner, while Mon Mome's jockey Liam Treadwell rode the horse to victory on his Grand National debut.
Nigeria map — Nigeria — Our Africa River Niger, River Benue Yankari National Park The cities of Nigeria offer very different atmospheres, from the sprawling and chaotic coastal centre of Lagos, to the ancient Muslim cities of the north, such as Kano. The natural environment also has great contrasts, from the lush dense forests of the Cross River National Park in the southeast, to the more tamed and sedate Yankuri National Park north of the River Benue. Find out more by clicking on the map items. Jos Located around 1,250 metres above sea level on the Jos Plateau, Jos enjoys a cooler, less humid climate amid the rocky plains of the north. Built by the British as a mining town in the early 1900s, Jos now has to rely on other industries following the closure of the tin mines by the 1950s. The city lies at the crossroads between the Christian south and the Muslim north, therefore tension between the two religions often flares up here and turns violent. Port Harcourt Port Harcourt is the centre of Nigeria’s oil industry. Oil from the Niger Delta is transported here via pipelines, from where it’s pumped into huge tankers. Other goods such as steel and aluminium are also exported from here. After Lagos, it’s the second busiest city in Nigeria. Due to the activities of militant groups in the Niger Delta, it has been a dangerous place at times for foreign oil workers and business people. Climate Africa is a massive continent, with a range of climates. Some regions are hot and dry, like the Sahara, Kalahari and Namib deserts. Other parts are wet or covered in tropical rainforest. Conditions also vary by altitude, from the dry salt pans of the Danakil Depression (one of the lowest points on earth) to the snowcaps (at certain times) of the highest mountains. Weather-wise, Africa has it all! Geography & Wildlife With its varied geography and diverse habits, the African continent is home to a wide range of flora and fauna. Though famous for its 'big game' animals, Africa has huge numbers of fish, mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian and insect species, as well as many tree, plant and flower species. Foods Africa has some of the most distinctive cuisines and flavours in the world. Food varies widely, but there are commonalities across regions. Depending on what's grown locally, dishes are also influenced by the traders, immigrants and rulers who settled across the continent. Arab, Asian and European elements blend in with traditional African cooking. Children Around one in six children born in sub-Saharan Africa don't live to see their fifth birthday and life can be tough for those who do. What are the common challenges facing African children and how do their lives compare with those of children in the UK? Lagos Lagos is the second largest city in Africa (after Cairo) with at least 11 million residents (though some estimates put the number far higher). Situated on the coast in the low-lying belt of land, its Portuguese name means ‘lagoons’ and the city is basically a collection of islands linked by bridges. Much of Lagos’ population lives less than 1 metre above sea level, which means many parts – both rich houses and poor slum settlements – are vulnerable to flooding. With its mixture of peoples, it’s a vibrant place, but congestion, crime and poverty also make it chaotic and sometimes dangerous. Niger Delta At the exit of the Niger River into the ocean, there is a network of forested creeks and mangroves, an important habitat for wildlife and birds such as storks and kingfishers. Local communities here often live in houses elevated on platforms – see Food & Daily Life – and travel around by boat. Since the discovery of oil, the region has suffered from major pollution and periods of violence. River Niger, River Benue The River Niger and its major tributary, the River Benue, act like arms of a huge letter Y, as they flow diagonally through the western and eastern side of Nigeria. The rivers meet at Lokoja, from where the Niger flows south down towards the Gulf of Guinea. B

The Victorian era of the United Kingdom was the period of Queen Victoria's reign from June 1837 to January 1901. This was a long period of prosperity for the British people, as profits gained from the overseas British Empire, as well as from industrial improvements at home, allowed a large, educated middle class to develop. Some scholars would extend the beginning of the period—as defined by a variety of sensibilities and political games that have come to be associated with the Victorians—back five years to the passage of the Reform Act 1832.

Greece has one of the longest histories of any country, and is considered the cradle of Western civilization, and as such, is the birthplace of democracy, Western philosophy, the Olympic Games, Western literature, historiography, political science, major scientific and mathematical principles, and Western drama, including both tragedy and comedy. Greece was first unified under Philip of Macedon in the fourth century BC. His son Alexander the Great rapidly conquered much of the ancient world, spreading Greek culture and science from the eastern Mediterranean to the Indus River. Annexed by Rome in the second century BC, Greece became an integral part of the Roman Empire and its successor, the Byzantine Empire. The first century AD saw the establishment of the Greek Orthodox Church, which shaped the modern Greek identity and transmitted Greek traditions to the wider Orthodox World. Falling under Ottoman dominion in the mid-15th century, the modern nation state of Greece emerged in 1830 following the war of independence. Greece's rich historical legacy is reflected in large part by its 17 UNESCO World Heritage Sites, among the most in Europe and the world.

Imperial German Navy In 1889 Wilhelm II reorganised top level control of the navy by creating a Navy Cabinet (Marine-Kabinett) equivalent to the German Imperial Military Cabinet which had previously functioned in the same capacity for both the army and navy. The Head of the navy cabinet was responsible for promotions, appointments, administration and issuing orders to naval forces. Captain Gustav von Senden-Bibran was appointed as its first head and remained so until 1906, when he was replaced by the long-serving Admiral Georg Alexander von Müller. The existing Imperial admiralty was abolished and its responsibilities divided between two organisations. A new position of Chief of the Imperial Naval High Command was created, being responsible for ship deployments, strategy and tactics, an equivalent to the supreme commander of the Army. Vice admiral Max von der Goltz was appointed in 1889 and remained in post until 1895. Construction and maintenance of ships and obtaining supplies was the responsibility of the State Secretary of the Imperial Navy Office (Reichsmarineamt), responsible to the chancellor and advising the Reichstag on naval matters. The first appointee was Rear Admiral Karl Eduard Heusner, followed shortly by Rear Admiral Friedrich von Hollmann from 1890 to 1897. Each of these three heads of department reported separately to Wilhelm II.[7]

The Protocol of Corfu -LRB- Πρωτόκολλο της Κέρκυρας , Protokolli i Korfuzit -RRB- , signed on May 17 , 1914 , was an agreement between the representatives of the Albanian Government and the Provisional Government of Northern Epirus , which officially recognized the area of Northern Epirus as an autonomous self-governing region under the sovereignty of the prince of the newly established Principality of Albania . The agreement granted the Greeks of the districts of Korytsa and Argyrokastro , which form Northern Epirus , wider religious , educational , cultural and political autonomy , inside the borders of the Albanian state . After the end of the Balkan Wars -LRB- 1912 -- 1913 -RRB- , the subsequent peace treaties ceded the region to Albania . This turn of events catalyzed an uprising among the local Greeks , which led to the Northern Epirote Declaration of Independence , on February 28 , 1914 . The International Commission of Control , an organization responsible for securing peace and stability in the region , eventually intervened and the Protocol of Corfu was signed on May 17 , 1914 . However the protocol 's terms were never implemented because of the politically unstable situation in Albania following the outbreak of World War I , and it was eventually annulled in 1921 during the Conference of Ambassadors .
After the assassination, Mark Antony formed an alliance with Caesar's adopted son and great-nephew, Gaius Octavian. Along with Marcus Lepidus, they formed an alliance known as the Second Triumvirate. They held powers that were nearly identical to the powers that Caesar had held under his constitution. As such, the Senate and assemblies remained powerless, even after Caesar had been assassinated. The conspirators were then defeated at the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC. Eventually, however, Antony and Octavian fought against each other in one last battle. Antony was defeated in the naval Battle of Actium in 31 BC, and he committed suicide with his lover, Cleopatra. In 29 BC, Octavian returned to Rome as the unchallenged master of the Empire and later accepted the title of Augustus ("Exalted One"). He was convinced that only a single strong ruler could restore order in Rome.
Funding a SEP IRA Funding a SEP IRATuesday, September 25, 2012By Joe Cicchinelli, IRA Technical Expert Follow Me on Twitter: @Joe Cicc Ed Slott If your employer offers a SEP (Simplified Employee Pension) plan, it's very similar to a profit sharing plan, except that contributions are placed into your designated SEP IRA. Once the funds are in your IRA, you own and control your own money. Your employer does not control the money after it's been deposited in your SEP IRA. In a SEP, your employer must make contributions for each eligible employee. The maximum SEP contribution for 2011 is the smaller of 25% of the individual's compensation or $49,000. For 2012, it's the smaller of 25% of compensation or $50,000. But the definition of compensation varies depending on whether you are an employee or the business owner. If you are an employee, your employer usually uses IRS Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, as the definition of compensation. So if you work for a company that has a SEP and your annual salary is $70,000, if your employer makes a SEP contribution for the year of 10% of salary, your SEP IRA will receive a $7,000 SEP contribution (i.e., $70,000 X 10%). If you own the business and you are self-employed, your compensation is different. A self-employed business is defined a business that is not incorporated, such as a a sole proprietor or a partner in partnership. A self-employed person does not receive a Form W-2 statement. Your compensation is generally the profit from your business with some adjustments. These adjustments can be found in IRS Publication 560, Retirement Plans for Small Business, and are typically handled by your CPA. If you are the owner of an S Corporation, your compensation is your salary as shown on your IRS Form W-2. Any profit income passed through to you is not considered compensation for purposes of funding a SEP. It's considered dividend income, not compensation. Lastly, only the first $245,000 of your compensation is considered for 2011 (or $250,000 for 2012). So for example, if your compensation for 2012 is $300,000 and the employer makes a 10% SEP contribution, your IRA will receive a $25,000 contribution (i.e., $250,000 X 10%). Article Highlights Funding a SEP is based on your compensation Compensation for SEPs differs if you are self-employed or own an S Corp.

He had previously announced his intention to resign the previous day during a televised address to the nation. Nixon had been facing near certain impeachment and conviction by the US Congress after his involvement in the Watergate Scandal. The Watergate Scandal began in 1972 at the beginning of Nixon's second term as US president and it was related to his involvement in illegal activities within his administration. This included the break-in at the Democratic party headquarters by Nixon associates to sabotage political opponents. There were also taped conversations that Nixon refused to release to investigators that were thought to reveal his knowledge of the corruption and wrongdoing within his administration. Nixon resigned in order to avoid the disgrace of a trial and subsequent removal from office. His vice president, Gerald Ford, took office after him and soon gave Nixon a full pardon for his wrongdoing.

General Lee (car) The General Lee (sometimes referred to as simply "the General") is a 1969 Dodge Charger driven in the television series The Dukes of Hazzard by the Duke boys, Bo and Luke, along with cousins Coy and Vance (in season 5). It is known for its signature horn, its police chases, stunts—especially its long jumps—and for having its doors welded shut, leaving the Dukes to climb in and out through the windows. The car appears in every episode but one ("Mary Kaye's Baby"). The car's name is a reference to American Civil War general Robert E. Lee. It bears a Confederate flag (a rectangular variant of the square battle flag of Lee's Army of Northern Virginia) on its roof, and also has a horn which plays the first twelve notes of the song "Dixie".[1]
Jeffrey Ryan (born 1962 in Toronto, Ontario, Canada) is a Canadian composer. His compositional style ranges from opera, art song, and choral music to chamber ensemble and orchestral works. Ryan has been commissioned by the Cleveland Orchestra, the Windsor Symphony, Esprit Orchestra, Tapestry New Opera Works, the Arditti Quartet, and Elektra Women's Choir.

West's fourth studio album, 808s & Heartbreak (2008), marked an even more radical departure from his previous releases, largely abandoning rap and hip hop stylings in favor of a stark electropop sound composed of virtual synthesis, the Roland TR-808 drum machine, and explicitly auto-tuned vocal tracks. Drawing inspiration from artists such as Gary Numan, TJ Swan and Boy George, and maintaining a "minimal but functional" approach towards the album's studio production, West explored the electronic feel produced by Auto-Tune and utilized the sounds created by the 808, manipulating its pitch to produce a distorted, electronic sound; he then sought to juxtapose mechanical sounds with the traditional sounds of taiko drums and choir monks. The album's music features austere production and elements such as dense drums, lengthy strings, droning synthesizers, and somber piano, and drew comparisons to the work of 1980s post-punk and new wave groups, with West himself later confessing an affinity with British post-punk group Joy Division. Rolling Stone journalist Matthew Trammell asserted that the record was ahead of its time and wrote in a 2012 article, "Now that popular music has finally caught up to it, 808s & Heartbreak has revealed itself to be Kanye’s most vulnerable work, and perhaps his most brilliant."
