Music in the Time of War \| Exploring Music 3:42 Program 2 The second show picks up where the first one left off, this time looking from a Russian perspective. Pyotr Tchaikovsky’s famous 1812 Overture tells the tale of Napoleon’s invasion of Russia in a way suggestive of Beethoven’s Wellington’s Victory, but in a matter that is fair to both sides…and of course, features cannons. We continue looking at Russian music of war by examining Sergei Prokofiev’s Battle on the Ice, written for the film score to Alexander Nevsky. The scene depicts Nevsky’s battle against the Teutonic Knights and how they are overcome by their own weight on a thawing frozen lake. This segment then concludes with Dmitri Shostakovich’s Symphony No. 13, subtitled Babi Yar after a location in Ukraine where thousands of Jews and gypsies were rounded up and massacred by the Nazis. 19:41 Program 3 The third segment travels to America, and features a great wealth of tunes regarding warfare relating to our own country. We begin with a William Billings New England minutemen tune that almost became the national anthem. Another William Billings song, “Chester”, is examined next in a version set for orchestra by William Schumann. Again from New England is the first of Charles Ives’ Three Places in New England, a monument to the first African-American regiment to march in the civil war, located in Boston. Morton Gould is next, with a popular patriotic piece called American Salute that can often be heard during patriotic holidays. It was composed during the Civil War to the sad tune of “When Johnny Comes Marching Home." Another piece from the Civil War days is Ralph Vaughn Williams’ Dona nobis pacem, which utilizes a couple of texts written by poet Walt Whitman for inspiration. We hear two: “Beat! Beat! Drums!” and “Reconciliation." Staying in the Civil War, we hear the Confederate 26th Regiment Quick-step, a popular Southern brass band tune. It was intended to keep soldiers’ spirits up while marching, something both sides utilized. Martial music would continue to be utilized into the days of the Second World War, an era when Samuel Barber wrote the Commando March for the US Army Air Corps marching band (before the days of an Air Force). The legacy of the Second World War lived on in documentary footage and in this piece by Richard Rogers, who was called on by NBC TV to write an opening theme for the television show Victory at Sea. Next is Aaron Jay Kernis’ second symphony, written in reaction to the Persian Gulf War of 1991. This segment closes with an oddly lighthearted piece; the opening to the TV show MAS*H. 6:13 Program 4 The fourth and fifth segments are dominated by Benjamin Britten’s War Requiem. It was written in 1962 for the reconsecration of Coventry Cathedral, destroyed during the Battle of Britain in the Second World War, and was intended to make as much use of the new space as possible. Before each section of War Requiem are two somewhat related pieces. First is the second and third movements of Vaughn Williams’ Pastoral Symphony, his third, written in memory of the friends he lost during the First World War. Second is Lovliest of Trees, a short, beautiful song written by George Butterworth. After Britten’s massive, piece closes, the show closes with another Butterworth piece, the song Lads of a Hundred.

Everything you need to know about how to watch the next meteor shower. Picture: Getty Images/iStockphoto - Credit: Getty Images/iStockphoto Keep your eyes on the skies, the first meteor shower of the year is due to peak this weekend. Signs of the Quadrantid meteor shower began in the tail end of December, but the event peaks in early January. Meteor showers usually occur when particles of comet debris enter our atmosphere and burn up, appearing as shooting stars. The Quadrantid shower, however, is a product of an asteroid. This year the spectacle of the Quadrantid shower will be most visible from dark on January 3 and will peak at dawn on Saturday, January 4. While the peak of the shower won't be until the early hours, there's a good chance you'll see shooting stars during the later part of the evening so you won't have to stay up too late to catch a glimpse. It will be visible to the naked eye so there is no need for any equipment, just let your eyes adjust to the dark and look out for fast and bright meteors with fine trains. For the best views find a safe location that is away from sources of light pollution such as street lights and where you can scan the whole sky.
Henry Cooper dies aged 76: British boxing legend once felled Muhammad Ali \| Daily Mail Online Former British heavyweight champion has died at the age of 76 'He was a champion of the people,' says Chris Eubank Henry Cooper smiles after being knighted by the Queen at Buckingham Palace on February 22, 2000 Boxer Sir Henry Cooper OBE, who once famously felled boxing legend Muhammad Ali, has died aged 76. Cooper, a former British heavyweight champion, died just two days before his 77th birthday at his son’s house at Oxted in Surrey The man was affectionately known as ‘Our Enry’ and collected a host of honours thanks to his fierce left hook called ‘Enry’s Ammer’. The retired English heavyweight famously fought Ali - then known by his birth name Cassius Clay - twice, firstly in 1963 at Wembley Stadium. In the final seconds of the fourth round Cooper felled firm favourite Ali with a jab of his left hook, but his head hit the ropes - not the floor - so it did not count. Ali said several decades later that Cooper ‘had hit him so hard that his ancestors in Africa felt it’. The photograph became an iconic image of boxing. Ali then asked for a spare pair of gloves, giving him time to recover from the blow. Cooper claimed this lasted several minutes and after that day, a spare pair of gloves was always required at ringside. A blood bath ensued and the referee was forced to stop the fight in Ali’s favour, despite Cooper being up on the scorecards. In 1966 Cooper fought Ali, and the reigning world heavyweight champion, for a second time. Cooper lost on a technical knockout - despite being up on the scorecards for a second time - because he was bleeding badly from his eye. Pride of Britain: The bout with Muhammed Ali, then Cassius Clay, was one of Sir Henry's finest moments The Greatest? Sir Henry is fondly remembered for putting Ali on his backside during their London bout in 1963 Three-time world heavyweight champion Ali spoke of his sadness at Cooper's death: 'I am at a loss for words over the death of my friend, Henry Cooper. I was not aware he was ill. 'I visited with him two summers ago during a brief visit to Windsor as part of the Equestrian Games being held there. He was in good humour and looked quite fit. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share 'Henry always had a smile for me; a warm and embracing smile. It was always a pleasure being in Henry's company. I will miss my old friend. He was a great fighter and a gentleman. My family and I extend our heartfelt sympathies to his family and loved ones.' Sir Henry was at one time the British, European and Commonwealth heavyweight champion. He was the first to win the BBC Sports Personality of the Year award twice (in 1967 and 1970) and one of only three two-time winners in the award’s history, along with Nigel Mansell and Damon Hill. Muhammad Ali and Henry Cooper, pictured in 1992, retained a mutual respect throughout their lives Infamous bout: Sir Henry Cooper and Muhammad Ali (then known as Cassius Clay) weigh in ahead of their bout at Wembley By Royal appointment: Prince William is joined by Sir Henry Cooper in 2006 He became a familiar face on television following his retirement and became one of the team captains on the BBC quiz show A Question of Sport for a number of years. He lived in Hildenborough, in Kent, with his beloved Italian-born wife Albina, 71, until her death in 2008, when she died suddenly of a heart attack. They had been married 47 years. Famous face: Cooper advertised Brut aftershave in the 1980s Chairman of Nizels Golf Club in the town, he was knighted in 2000 for services to charity as well as boxing. Sir Henry also famously advertised Brut aftershave and breakfast cereal on television in the 1980s. and was very active in charity work. Brought up on a south east London council estate, he was relocated as evacuees to Lancing on the Sussex coast suring the second World War. George Cooper, Henry’s twin, died on 11 April 2010, aged 76. In 2006 Sir Henry was taken to hospital with breathing difficulties and fitted with a pacemaker. It happened on
Nevertheless, the ethno-geographic caste hierarchy favoring the Mongols and other ethnicities were accorded higher status than the Han Chinese majority. Although Han Chinese who were recruited as advisers were often actually more influential than high officials, their status was not as well defined. Kublai also abolished the imperial examinations of China's civil service legacy, which was not reinstated until Ayurbarwada Buyantu Khan's reign (1311–1320). Rossabi writes that Kublai recognized that in order to rule China, "he had to employ Chinese advisors and officials, yet he could not rely totally on Chinese advisers because he had to maintain a delicate balancing act between ruling the sedentary civilization of China and preserving the cultural identity and values of the Mongols." And "in governing China, he was concerned with the interests of his Chinese subjects, but also with exploiting the resources of the empire for his own aggrandizement. His motivations and objectives alternated from one to the other throughout his reign," according to Rossabi. Van Praag writes in The Status of Tibet that the Tibetans and Mongols, on the other hand, upheld a dual system of rule and an interdependent relationship that legitimated the succession of Mongol khans as universal Buddhist rulers, or chakravartin. Van Praag writes that "Tibet remained a unique part of the Empire and was never fully integrated into it," citing examples such as a licensed border market that existed between China and Tibet during the Yuan.

Industrialization is the process of social and economic change whereby a human group is transformed from a pre-industrial society into an industrial one. It is a subdivision of a more general modernization process, where social change and economic development are closely related with technological innovation, particularly with the development of large-scale energy and metallurgy production. It is the extensive organization of an economy for the purpose of manufacturing. Industrialization also introduces a form of philosophical change, where people obtain a different attitude towards their perception of nature.
Pope Francis reacted angrily when he was grabbed on the arm by a woman at the Vatican as he was meeting pilgrims in St Peter’s Square on New Year’s Eve. The pope was walking through the square, greeting people after a Vespers service, when he was grabbed on the arm by a woman. The pope appeared to be slightly hurt as she pulled him towards her, and slapped her hand when she refused to let go. Credit: Vatican TV via Storyful
Mind your Ps and Qs Nevertheless, a number of alternative explanations have been considered as more or less plausible. Another explanation suggests that "Ps and Qs" is short for "pleases" and "thank-yous", the latter of which contains a sound similar to the pronunciation of the name of the letter "Q". Another proposed origin is from the English pubs and taverns of the 17th century. Bartenders would keep a watch on the alcohol consumption of the patrons; keeping an eye on the pints and quarts that were consumed. As a reminder to the patrons, the bartender would recommend they "mind their Ps and Qs".[3] This may also have been a reminder to bartenders not to confuse the two units, written as "p" and "q" on the tally slate.[4]

The Arena Football League briefly had a two-game exhibition season in the early 2000s, a practice that ended in 2003 with a new television contract. Exhibition games outside of a structured season are relatively common among indoor American football leagues; because teams switch leagues frequently at that level of play, it is not uncommon to see some of the smaller leagues schedule exhibition games against teams that are from another league, about to join the league as a probational franchise, or a semi-pro outdoor team to fill holes in a schedule.
QOTW: Superhero alter ego? - Detroit Lions Blog- ESPN QOTW: Superhero alter ego? 8dMichael Rothstein QOTW: Superhero alter ego? The lifestyle of Robert Downey Jr.'s Tony Stark is greatly admired in the Lions' locker room. AP Photo/Marvel Previously covered University of Michigan for ESPN.com and AnnArbor.com Also covered Notre Dame for Fort Wayne Journal Gazette comment Question of the Week is a new feature where we ask different Lions the same question on various topics -- some funny, some issue-based, some football-related and some completely off the wall. To suggest a potential question for QOTW, email michaelrothsteinespn@gmail.com or make the suggestion on Twitter @mikerothstein . Previous QOTW: Nicknamed jerseys? ALLEN PARK, Mich. -- For a while, it looked like this would be a unanimous choice. Then, as you'll see below, punter Sam Martin made a convincing argument to tight end Joseph Fauria as to why you wouldn't want to be Bruce Wayne. This week's Question of the Week looked not at the all-too-common what superhero would you be, but rather what superhero alter ego would you prefer to take over if you had the choice. So instead of Batman, you'd be Bruce Wayne. Or instead of Superman, you'd be intrepid reporter Clark Kent (surprisingly, no one wanted to be a news reporter). But we'll start this week's version with the conversation between Martin, Fauria and a reporter about this topic -- If you could be a superhero alter ego, who would you be and why? Lions punter Sam Martin: I think I know who I'm going to go with. I'm going to go with Tony Stark. Lions tight end Joseph Fauria chiming in from a locker over: Ooh, that's a good one. But he's not an alter ego, he's still Tony Stark. Martin: Well now he is. Can I go with that still? Reporter: Yeah. Fauria: Technicality. Martin: Well, a couple reasons. One, he's a bajillionaire. For two, I think Iron Man is, by far, the most badass superhero. I think Iron Man would whoop Batman's ass. I love Batman, trust me. Fauria: Dude, I think you're probably right. The alter ego, though? Martin: Bruce is cool, but he's kind of messed up, dude. Like he has flashbacks about the cave (and stuff). Fauria: His parents died. Martin: Yeah, his parents are dead. So that's ... Fauria: Well, Tony's parents are dead, too. But they didn't die in front of his eyes. Martin: Yeah, but he's just living through his dad. Batman, he's like 'This sucks. My life is over.' Fauria: Well, do you like Tony Stark or Tony Stark as Robert Downey Jr.? Martin: Both. I'd pick Tony first, Robert second. I'd say, because he obviously lives the life, he's a bajillionaire. And he's a genius. Outside of his Iron Man-ness, he's very smart. Reporter: So, Joe, who would you be? Fauria: (sheepishly) Tony Stark. Tony Stark. Reporter: He change your mind? Martin: It's a convincing argument. Fauria: Yeah. Reporter: But remember, alter ego -- the superhero thing is obviously different. Fauria: I don't want to take pictures like (Peter Parker). I don't want to report news, sorry, like Clark Kent. And now, on to the opinions of other Lions... RB REGGIE BUSH: Alter ego. Oh, Bruce Wayne, of course. Bruce Wayne had it all. He was a young, rich, good-looking guy. He gets the girls. Of course you want to be Bruce Wayne. Everybody wants to be Bruce Wayne. He was the man, but even when he wasn't the man, like Batman, he was still the man outside his alter ego. He still had all the nice cars, lived in a mansion, had a butler. LB ROCKY McINTOSH: Batman. He's just mysterious. He has a little secretive side to him and I think that's me. When I get on the field I unleash another side of me that nobody else really sees. Batman alter ego Bruce Wayne's mysterious demeanor, cool gadgets and way with the ladies makes him a popular alter ego choice. AP Photo/Warner Bros. Pictures, Ron Phillips Reporter: So you are Bruce Wayne now and Batman on Sundays? McINTOSH: Oh yeah. Oh yeah. I know, I got a concussion way back when and I came to the sidelines and the doctors asked me, 'Hey, who are you?' 'Batman.' True statement. RG LARRY WARFORD: I'd b

Robert L. Last is a plant biochemical genomicist who studies metabolic processes that protect plants from the environment and produce products important for animal and human nutrition. His research has covered (1) production and breakdown of essential amino acids, (2) the synthesis and protective roles of Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) and Vitamin E (tocopherols) as well as identification of mechanisms that protect photosystem II from damage, and (3) synthesis and biological functions of plant protective specialized metabolites (plant secondary metabolites). Four central questions are: (i) how are leaf and seed amino acids levels regulated, (ii.) what mechanisms protect and repair photosystem II from stress-induced damage, (iii.) how do plants produce protective metabolites in their glandular secreting trichomes (iv.) and what are the evolutionary mechanisms that contribute to the tremendous diversity of specialized metabolites that protect plants from insects and pathogens and are used as therapeutic agents.
Sometime Lately \| The Darts Lyrics, Song Meanings, Videos, Full Albums & Bios Sometime Lately / The Darts Video The Darts Darts were a nine-piece British doo-wop revival band that achieved chart success in the late 1970s and early 1980s. The popular London-based band had a number of UK top 20 hits including three successive Number twos with revivals of early U.S. rock and roll and R&B songs. Founded in 1976, by Den Hegarty along with Griff Fender, Rita Ray and Horatio Hornblower, all former members of the band Rocky Sharpe and the Razors. Joining the band was Thump Thompson, George Currie and John Dummer, all ex members of the John Dummer's Blues Band. The line-up was completed by Hammy Howell and ex Mickey Jupp singer Bob Fish. They built up a large following playing clubs and universities, although their break came after they appeared on the Charlie Gillet's show on BBC Radio London in October 1976. This secured the band a recording contract with Magnet Records, where they were teamed up with record producer Tommy Boyce who had previously produced The Monkees. Covering 1950s rock and roll hits they scored their first UK hit in December 1977 with a medley of "Daddy Cool" (originally a U.S. 1957 hit for The Rays) and Little Richard's 1957 hit "The Girl Can't Help It". More cover versions followed in 1978 with "Come Back My Love" (originally recorded by U.S. R&B group The Wrens in 1955), "The Boy from New York City" (originally a U.S. hit for The Ad Libs in 1965). Their next single of 1978 was an original song "It's Raining" written by band member Griff Fender (real name Ian Collier). All three of the aforementioned hits reached number 2 in the UK Singles Chart[1] and sold a combined total of 1.25 million copies.[citation needed] Following "It's Raining" in September 1978, Hegarty left the band to tend to his terminally ill father, and he was replaced by Kenny Andrews. Their final hit of 1978 was "Don't Let It Fade Away" (written by George Currie). "Get It" (written by Horatio Hornblower, under his real name Nigel Trubridge), followed in early 1979 and they also covered Gene Chandler's U.S. 1962 hit "Duke of Earl", produced by former Wizzard frontman Roy Wood. This was their last UK Top 10 hit, their only other sizeable hit coming in 1980 with a cover of The Four Seasons "Let's Hang On!". During the year, the line-up changed with Currie, Fish and Dummer leaving the band. Duncan Kerr (guitar) and Keith Gotheridge (drums), both formerly with Plummet Airlines joined,[2] and ex-Mud guitarist Rob Davis briefly joined the band, before moving into songwriting and production work. By the end of 1980 their hits had dried up and in 1983 they began to do theatre work appearing in the theatre production of Yakety Yak. In 1981, Hegarty became a television presenter, most notably on children's programme, Tiswas. In 1985 Fender and Ray managed and produced the UK a cappella girl group The Mint Juleps who scored two minor chart entries with "Only Love Can Break Your Heart" (originally by Neil Young) in 1986 and "Every Kinda People" (originally by Robert Palmer) in 1987. The band is still in the Top 500 selling list according to the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles. https://sonichits.com/video/The_Darts/Sometime_Lately Length: PT2M43S Lyrics: Sometime Lately

Otis Click to expand... One of the reasons I've stuck with Roma Fodds as my supplier thru the years is that they have a very high quality ricotta cheese. Until I tried theirs, I considered ricotta to be nothing more than a glorified cottage cheese (which I've never liked). If you want to try something different, give this a shot - we make a white sauce pizza ... Mix 3 cups romano, 1T black pepper, and 2T granulated garlic in with 3# Ricotta. Once it's blended, add 1/2 gallon whole milk. Stir until all lumps disappear. In taste, it's kind of similar to an alfredo sauce. One of our most popular specialty pies uses this sauce, chicken chest (I can't believe this board won't let us use the "B" word), roasted red peppers, and fresh garlic. The only other ricotta Ive tried that I'd use in my shop is Polly-O. If you don't have Roma in your area, I'd ask your supplier if they carry it. If you get the good stuff, it makes a HUGE difference, especially if you make your own cannolis, or use ricotta in your calzones. Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough - Mark Twain NY Pizza, Sep 1, 2007 #8Anonymous Guest One of the reasons I've stuck with Roma Fodds as my supplier thru the years is that they have a very high quality ricotta cheese. Until I tried theirs, I considered ricotta to be nothing more than a glorified cottage cheese (which I've never liked). If you want to try something different, give this a shot - we make a white sauce pizza ... Mix 3 cups romano, 1T black pepper, and 2T granulated garlic in with 3# Ricotta. Once it's blended, add 1/2 gallon whole milk. Stir until all lumps disappear. In taste, it's kind of similar to an alfredo sauce. looks very similar to the Grande recipe, except for the milk, good to know, and similar to the recipe that I use I have used Grande Soprafina, fine cut, and the Polly-O old fashion ricotta with equally good results.... who makes the ricotta that Roma distributes? .......now, for the rest of the story........ after polling the people who tried the comparison of white pizza made with cottage cheese or with ricotta, some people liked the cottage cheese more, most could not tell the difference..... I like the ricotta more, it has a better mouth feel.......so that's what I will go with I do not know cheeses enough to know how ricotta and cottage cheese are different.... I wish someone would chime in with a simple explaination eveidently, others do not either bottum line, we must go with what we think best, Otis Anonymous, Sep 1, 2007 #9NY Pizza New Member Joined: Aug 8, 2007Messages: 189Likes Received: 1Don't know who makes it - like most of their products, it's their own label.

Niccademo {Keep your dough off da cieling and da flour out your eyes}goomba, Sep 2, 2007 #12Anonymous Guest Cottage cheese is a cheese curd product with a mild flavor. It is drained, but not pressed so some whey remains. The curd is usually washed to remove acidity giving sweet curd cheese. It is not aged or colored. Different styles of cottage cheese are made from milks with different fat levels and in small curd or large curd preparations. Cottage cheese which is pressed becomes hoop cheese, farmer cheese, pot cheese or queso blanco. .......from Wikipedia, internet encylcopedia...... from looking at ricotta, the process is similar, but less whey remains..... cheese amazes me, all coming from cream and there are so many different kinds, and opinions on it .........we can "define" much more than we understand..

Insects are the only group of invertebrates to have developed flight. The evolution of insect wings has been a subject of debate. Some entomologists suggest that the wings are from paranotal lobes, or extensions from the insect's exoskeleton called the nota, called the paranotal theory. Other theories are based on a pleural origin. These theories include suggestions that wings originated from modified gills, spiracular flaps or as from an appendage of the epicoxa. The epicoxal theory suggests the insect wings are modified epicoxal exites, a modified appendage at the base of the legs or coxa. In the Carboniferous age, some of the Meganeura dragonflies had as much as a 50 cm (20 in) wide wingspan. The appearance of gigantic insects has been found to be consistent with high atmospheric oxygen. The respiratory system of insects constrains their size, however the high oxygen in the atmosphere allowed larger sizes. The largest flying insects today are much smaller and include several moth species such as the Atlas moth and the White Witch (Thysania agrippina).
Brown v. Board of Education Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka, 347 U.S. 483 (1954), was a landmark United States Supreme Court case in which the Court declared state laws establishing separate public schools for black and white students to be unconstitutional. The decision overturned the Plessy v. Ferguson decision of 1896, which allowed state-sponsored segregation, insofar as it applied to public education. Handed down on May 17, 1954, the Warren Court's unanimous (9â€“0) decision stated that "separate educational facilities are inherently unequal." As a result, de jure racial segregation was ruled a violation of the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment of the United States Constitution. This ruling paved the way for integration and was a major victory of the Civil Rights Movement,[1] and a model for many future impact litigation cases.[2] However, the decision's fourteen pages did not spell out any sort of method for ending racial segregation in schools, and the Court's second decision in Brown II, 349 U.S. 294 (1955) only ordered states to desegregate "with all deliberate speed".
There Be Whales Capt'n! - Ripley's Believe It or Not! Otelo — October 21, 2011 Sperm Whale Teeth Carvings Scrimshaw is the name given to handiwork created by whalers made from the byproducts of harvesting marine mammals. It is most commonly made out of the bones and teeth of sperm whales, the baleen of other whales, and the tusks of walruses. Scrimshaw carvings It takes the form of elaborate engravings in the form of pictures and lettering on the surface of the bone or tooth, with the engraving highlighted using a pigment, or, less often, small sculptures made from the same material. However the latter really fall into the categories of ivory carving, for all carved teeth and tusks, or bone carving. The making of scrimshaw began on whaling ships between 1745 to 1759 on the Pacific Ocean, and survived until the ban on commercial whaling. Narwhals: The Unicorns of the Sea The Narwhal (scientific name: Monodon monoceros) is one of two species of cetaceans in the family of white whales (Monodontidae); the other being the Beluga. A pod of narwhals “Believe it or Not the Narwhal’s tusk are the only thing in nature that spiral counter-clock-wise, every thing else spirals clock-wise”Famous for its unicorn-like single tusk, Narwhals have inspired legends in many cultures and throughout history have been revered across the world. The tusk is just an overgrown left tooth, since narwhals only have two teeth. Only males grow the unicorn-like tusk.

Three of the five films were released by specialty divisions, while director Clint Eastwood's Letters From Iwo Jima was able to be made by a studio, using his reputation to get financing for its narrowly-appealing content. It was one of the most diverse and international rosters of nominees and winners in recent Academy history. The five films that were nominated for Best Picture had a total of only 26 nominations -- the fewest since 1932/1933 (when 10 films were nominated for the top prize but there were fewer awards categories). No single film received nominations in more than six categories. And the Oscar wins were spread out over numerous films - many received either one or two awards. As with last year, there was a perceived backlash against flashy, "popcorn" Best Picture nominees and winners. Mega-budget, special effects-heavy box-office blockbusters that received minimal nominations included: Gore Verbinski's Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest (4 technical nominations, with a sole Oscar win for Best Visual Effects), one of the fastest grossing films in history, reaching $100M and $200M box office dollars in record time, and grossing over $1B worldwide, as the second part of a planned trilogy Brett Ratner's X-Men: The Last Stand (no nominations), the third film in the series, grossing box-office of about $460 worldwide Ron Howard's The Da Vinci Code (no nominations), which grossed over $750M worldwide despite savage reviews Superman Returns (one nomination for Best Visual Effects), the fifth in the series, directed by former X-Men director Bryan Singer and a total worldwide box-office of almost $400M Martin Campbell's Casino Royale (no nominations), the exciting 007 "reboot" starring Daniel Craig as the new James Bond, which grossed about $550M worldwide J.J.

Double (basketball) A triple-double is the accumulation of a double-digit number total in three of the five categories in a game. The most common way to achieve a triple-double is through points, rebounds, and assists. Oscar Robertson leads the all-time NBA list with 181 career triple-doubles and is, with Russell Westbrook, one of only two players ever to average a triple-double for a season. Westbrook currently holds the record for most triple-doubles in a season with 42 and is the only person to average a triple-double for two consecutive seasons.

He was joined by four other legends of the Paralympics – Baroness Susan Masham of Ilton, Caz Walton, Sally Haynes and Jane Blackburn – after the four national flames were joined at the birthplace of the Paralympic Movement. The Paralympic Flame then left on a 92-mile journey to the Olympic Stadium in a 24-hour torch relay that involved 580 Torchbearers working in teams of five. Prior to the Stoke Mandeville event, National Flames were created at the summit of the highest peaks of the four home nations: Scafell Pike (England), Snowdon/Yr Wyddfa (Wales), Ben Nevis (Scotland) and Slieve Donard (Northern Ireland). The four individual Flames were then placed in a miner's lantern and transferred to the nation's capital cities. Paralympic celebrations took place in London, Belfast Edinburgh and Cardiff. Find out more about the London 2012 Torch Relay here. OPENING CEREMONY London 2012 launched in unforgettable style with leading scientist Professor Stephen Hawking and renowned actor Sir Ian McKellen appearing in a memorable event. The Ceremony took the form of a play, with Hawking introducing proceedings before Sir Ian took over, taking the role of William Shakespeare’s The Tempest and guiding the principle character Miranda through the evening’s proceedings. All of the athletes received a huge ovation when they entered an Olympic Stadium drenched in colour, before gathering in the centre to play their part in the remainder of the ceremony. The Games were officially opened by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, before Royal Marine Joe Townsend brought the Paralympic Flame into the stadium.

Until 1917, it was possible for someone who was not a priest, but only in minor orders, to become a cardinal (see "lay cardinals", below), but they were enrolled only in the order of cardinal deacons. For example, in the 16th century, Reginald Pole was a cardinal for 18 years before he was ordained a priest. In 1917 it was established that all cardinals, even cardinal deacons, had to be priests, and, in 1962, Pope John XXIII set the norm that all cardinals be ordained as bishops, even if they are only priests at the time of appointment. As a consequence of these two changes, canon 351 of the 1983 Code of Canon Law requires that a cardinal be at least in the order of priesthood at his appointment, and that those who are not already bishops must receive episcopal consecration. Several cardinals aged over 80 or close to it when appointed have obtained dispensation from the rule of having to be a bishop. These were all appointed cardinal-deacons, but one of them, Roberto Tucci, lived long enough to exercise the right of option and be promoted to the rank of cardinal-priest.
Alfred Wegener During his lifetime he was primarily known for his achievements in meteorology and as a pioneer of polar research, but today he is most remembered as the originator of the theory of continental drift by hypothesizing in 1912 that the continents are slowly drifting around the Earth (German: Kontinentalverschiebung). His hypothesis was controversial and not widely accepted until the 1950s, when numerous discoveries such as palaeomagnetism provided strong support for continental drift, and thereby a substantial basis for today's model of plate tectonics.[1][2] Wegener was involved in several expeditions to Greenland to study polar air circulation before the existence of the jet stream was accepted. Expedition participants made many meteorological observations and were the first to overwinter on the inland Greenland ice sheet and the first to bore ice cores on a moving Arctic glacier.

The following is a list of British Army regiments that served in Australia between 1810 and 1870 . From 1788 to 1790 , the colony was defended by Royal Marines . From 1790 to 1810 the colony was defended by the New South Wales Corps . From 1810 to 1870 , the colony was defended by British Army regiments . The Royal Marines remained in Australia until 1913 , after which the Royal Australian Navy was strong enough to take full responsibility for Australian waters . After the arrival of the First Fleet in 1788 , the colony of New South Wales was initially defended by a force of three companies of marines . In 1790 this force was relieved by a specially raised corps , known as the New South Wales Corps , which provided colonial defence until 1810 when they were returned to England following the events of the Rum Rebellion . After this , regular British Army regiments were dispatched to the Australian colonies on a rotational basis , to serve as a colonial garrison for the next 60 years . The first regiment to arrive was the 73rd , who were brought to colony to replace the New South Wales Corps by Lachlan Macquarie . The size of these forces varied over time and they were dispersed over a number geographically diverse locations , including Van Diemen 's Land -LRB- later known as Tasmania -RRB- , Port Phillip District -LRB- later Victoria -RRB- , the Swan River Colony -LRB- later known as Western Australia -RRB- , South Australia , Moreton Bay and Cape York in what later became Queensland , and Melville Island and other places in modern-day Northern Territory . Initially the garrison was formed by only one regiment -LRB- battalion equivalent -RRB- , however , in 1824 it rose to three . At its peak , in the 1840s , there were between four and six , although this fell to two in the early 1850s and then to one by the end of the decade . In the 1860s , British forces were limited to mainly garrison artillery , although a force of 15 companies of British infantry remained until 1870 when the last British regiment was withdrawn . Ultimately , between 1810 and 1870 a total of 24 British Army infantry regiments served in Australia , along with detachments of the Royal Engineers and the Royal Artillery . No cavalry units were deployed , although detachments of infantry served as ad hoc mounted units when required . Royal Marines were also sent a number of times . The length of each regiment 's service varied , with the average being around seven years . Nevertheless , some regiments , such as the 73rd and 46th served as little as three or four years , while others such as 99th served a total of 13 . Two regiments , the 40th and the 50th , served two tours . The last regiment to leave was the 18th , which served the shortest tour , under a year , leaving in 1870 . They were not , however , the last British troops to leave Australia . The Royal Marines remained in Australia until 1913 , serving on the ships of the Royal Navy 's Australia Squadron , which was based in Sydney until the Royal Australian Navy was strong enough to take full responsibility for Australian waters . While deployed , British Army regiments undertook a variety of duties . This included guarding convict settlements , hunting down bushrangers , suppressing armed resistance by Indigenous Australians , providing security on the goldfields , assisting local police to maintain public order , undertaking ceremonial duties and developing the nation 's military defences .

Bacterial infections may be treated with antibiotics, which are classified as bacteriocidal if they kill bacteria, or bacteriostatic if they just prevent bacterial growth. There are many types of antibiotics and each class inhibits a process that is different in the pathogen from that found in the host. An example of how antibiotics produce selective toxicity are chloramphenicol and puromycin, which inhibit the bacterial ribosome, but not the structurally different eukaryotic ribosome. Antibiotics are used both in treating human disease and in intensive farming to promote animal growth, where they may be contributing to the rapid development of antibiotic resistance in bacterial populations. Infections can be prevented by antiseptic measures such as sterilizing the skin prior to piercing it with the needle of a syringe, and by proper care of indwelling catheters. Surgical and dental instruments are also sterilized to prevent contamination by bacteria. Disinfectants such as bleach are used to kill bacteria or other pathogens on surfaces to prevent contamination and further reduce the risk of infection.
A gene is a length of DNA that codes for a specific protein. So, for example, one gene will code for the protein insulin, which is important role in helping your body to control the amount of sugar in your blood. Genes are the basic unit of genetics. Human beings have 20,000 to 25,000 genes.enes are made of a chemical called DNA, which is short for 'deoxyribonucleic acid'. The DNA molecule is a double helix: that is, two long, thin strands twisted around each other like a spiral staircase.

Some sperm have a shape which makes this relatively easy, and others which are poorly formed are likely to have more difficulty.
Asian nations at the FIFA World Cup The Indonesian team, prior to independence in 1945. Indonesia was the first Asian team to participate in the FIFA World Cup when the team qualified for the 1938 tournament after its opponent, Japan, withdrew from the qualification heats. The 6â€“0 loss to eventual finalists Hungary in the first round of the tournament in Reims, France, remains the nation's only appearance in the World Cup. The straight knock-out format used at the time made it the only game ever played by the Indonesians. Thus, Indonesia holds the World Cup record as the team with the fewest matches played (1) and one of the teams with the fewest goals scored (0). They were 15th place in the rankings.

To see the impact of your milk choice from another perspective, look at the difference in calorie content and the actual amount of fat in each type of milk. The recommended choices for most adults, nonfat (skim) and 1 percent (low-fat) milk, contain 86 to 105 calories in each eight-ounce glass, and 0.4 to 2.4 grams of fat.

The Avro Canada CF-105 Arrow , often known simply as the Avro Arrow , was a delta-winged interceptor aircraft designed and built by Avro Canada . The Arrow is considered to have been an advanced technical and aerodynamic achievement for the Canadian aviation industry . The CF-105 -LRB- Mark 2 -RRB- held the promise of near-Mach 2 speeds at altitudes of 50000 feet and was intended to serve as the Royal Canadian Air Force 's -LRB- RCAF -RRB- primary interceptor in the 1960s and beyond . However , Canada tried to sell the Arrow to the U.S. and Britain , but had no takers . The aircraft industry in both countries was considered a national interest and the purchase of foreign designs was rare . The Arrow was the culmination of a series of design studies begun in 1953 examining improved versions of the Avro Canada CF-100 Canuck . After considerable study , the RCAF selected a dramatically more powerful design , and serious development began in March 1955 . The aircraft was intended to be built directly from the production line , skipping the traditional hand-built prototype phase . The first Arrow Mk . I , RL-201 , was rolled out to the public on 4 October 1957 , the same day as the launch of Sputnik I. Flight testing began with RL-201 on 25 March 1958 , and the design quickly demonstrated excellent handling and overall performance , reaching Mach 1.9 in level flight . Powered by the Pratt & Whitney J75 , another three Mk . 1s were completed , RL-202 through -204 . The lighter and more powerful Orenda Iroquois engine was soon ready for testing , and the first Mk.II with the Iroquois , RL-206 , was ready for taxi testing in preparation for flight and acceptance tests by RCAF pilots by early 1959 . On 20 February 1959 , the development of the Arrow -LRB- and its Iroquois engines -RRB- was abruptly halted before a planned project review had taken place . Two months later , the assembly line , tooling , plans and existing airframes and engines were ordered to be destroyed . The cancellation was the topic of considerable political controversy at the time , and the subsequent destruction of the aircraft in production remains a topic for debate among historians and industry pundits . `` This action effectively put Avro out of business and its highly skilled engineering and production personnel scattered ...

A man is recovering after he was kidnapped, robbed and shot in Phoenix on Sunday, police say. Court documents say a man was sleeping in his Jeep Wrangler parked at an apartment complex near Baseline Road and 44th Street early Sunday morning after having an argument with his girlfriend. The victim, identified in court records as Anthony, says a man wearing a ski mask knocked on the window and said Anthony was parked in his parking space. The victim partially rolled down the window and the man then pointed a pistol at his head and ordered the victim to get out of the vehicle, court documents say. Two other men wearing ski masks showed up and they forced Anthony in the backseat of the Jeep. They drove Anthony to an ATM and forced him to take out money. They then drove him to the area of 71st Avenue and Greenway Road and told him to get out of the Jeep and walk away backward. RELATED: Woman charged with multiple felonies after trying to pepper spray Gilbert police officer Anthony told investigators that's when one of the men pointed the gun at him and he turned around and ran. He ran east towards 71st Avenue. He was shot in the lower back as he was running away, court documents allege. Anthony told police he believes shot toward him six to eight times. Anthony ran to nearby homes looking for help. A person called 911 and Anthony was taken to the hospital where he underwent emergency surgery, police reported. RELATED: 'A cold, hard, callous act': Man in wheelchair says he was robbed of his rent money Investigators say the suspects took Anthony's phone and the Jeep. Police were able to trace his phone and found the Jeep parked in front of a home near Carver Drive and 21st Street. Police say the three suspects were still inside the Jeep when they arrived. The suspects sped away through the neighborhood until they eventually stopped near 20th Street and E. Euclid Avenue. Police arrested Roderick Jabri Smith, 18, and two juveniles. Smith allegedly admitted to pointing the gun at the victim and forcing him to withdraw $300 to $600 from an ATM. Smith reportedly told investigators they drove around with the victim and smoked weed. Smith claims he stayed in the Jeep when the victim was told to get out. He says the other two suspects got out with the victim. That's when he says he heard several gunshots, according to court documents. RELATED: How can you protect yourself in dangerous rideshare situations? Smith is a convicted felon and is on probation. His bond was set at $75,000. He was ordered to not have any contact with his co-defendants. He will be back in court on January 6.
Hirschsprung's disease Typically, Hirschsprung's disease is diagnosed shortly after birth, although it may develop well into adulthood, because of the presence of megacolon, or because the baby fails to pass the first stool (meconium)[3] within 48 hours of delivery. Normally, 90% of babies pass their first meconium within 24 hours, and 99% within 48 hours. Other symptoms include green or brown vomit, explosive stools after a doctor inserts a finger into the rectum, swelling of the abdomen, excessive gas, and bloody diarrhea.
Partition of India The Partition of India was the division of British India[a] in 1947 which accompanied the creation of two independent dominions, India and Pakistan.[1] The Dominion of India is today the Republic of India, and the Dominion of Pakistan is today the Islamic Republic of Pakistan and the People's Republic of Bangladesh. The partition involved the division of three provinces, Assam, Bengal and the Punjab, based on district-wide Hindu or Muslim majorities. The boundary demarcating India and Pakistan became known as the Radcliffe Line. It also involved the division of the British Indian Army, the Royal Indian Navy, the Indian Civil Service, the railways, and the central treasury, between the two new dominions. The partition was set forth in the Indian Independence Act 1947 and resulted in the dissolution of the British Raj, as the British government there was called. The two self-governing countries of Pakistan and India legally came into existence at midnight on 14â€“15 August 1947.[2]
The Tekezé River -LRB- ተከዘ or ተከዜ -RRB- , also known as the Takkaze River , is a major river of Ethiopia . For part of its course it forms a section the westernmost border of Ethiopia and Eritrea . The river is also known as the Setit in Eritrea , western Ethiopia , and eastern Sudan . According to materials published by the Ethiopian Central Statistical Agency , the Tekezé River is 608 km long . The canyon which it has created is the deepest in Africa and one of the deepest in the world , at some points having a depth of over 2000 meters -LRB- 6,562 feet -RRB- .
You don't. Meters are a measure of length, and radians are a function of angle. They do not convert into one another. Perhaps you need a physical relationship that relates the length of the circumference of a certain circle to the angle in that circle.est Answer: First you must assume the 10.8 mps is a tangential velocity v. This means v = Rw; where v = 10.8 mps, R is the radius of turn in meters, and w is the angular velocity in rad/sec.
Ercole Grandi (1491–1531) was an Italian painter of the early-Renaissance period, active mainly in Ferrara. Also known as Ercole da Ferrara and Ercole di Giulio Cesare Grandi, he has been claimed to be a favourite pupil of the painter Lorenzo Costa. Ercole Grandi first appeared in the historical record as being in the service of the house of Este in 1489. Between 1489 and 1495, Ercole Grandi seems to have been working in Bologna, both in San Petronio and in the Cappella Bentivoglio of San Giacomo Maggiore, as an assistant to Lorenzo Costa. In 1495, he was in Ferrara as the chief architect for realising Duke Ercole's plans to embellish the city and renovate the churches; the facade and interior of Santa Maria in Vado were executed from his design. He worked with Ludovico Mazzolino and others on the decoration of the Castello, and painted in the apartments of Lucretia Borgia. Also in Ferrara, he painted the frescoes for the church of San Pietro Martire (now demolished), although some frescoes are preserved. One problem in assigning attribution to the hand of Ercole Grandi is that none of his works is signed or dated, or accompanied by supporting documents, but he is thought by some scholars to have painted -- in the manner of Mantegna -- or had a hand in, the decorative frescoed ceiling in the Sala del Tesoro of the Palazzo Costabili (Palazzo di Ludovico il Moro) in Ferrara between 1503 and 1506. Other scholars attribute the work to Benvenuto Tisi da Garofalo. Confusingly, the identity of Ercole Grandi is sometimes conflated with Garofalo, and an Ercole da Bologna, and (most famously by the Renaissance historian, Giorgio Vasari) with that of Ercole di Antonio Roberti or Ercole de' Roberti (and see Filippini), who was first documented as being in Ferrara in 1479, and was author of the great frescoes of the Garganelli chapel in Bologna. Most of Ercole Grandi's works have been reattributed to other Ferrarese painters, such as Giovan Francesco Maineri and Lorenzo Costa, while other scholars insist that Ercole Grandi is a mythical character.

Charles Norris Houghton (26 December 1909 – 9 October 2001) was a renowned theatre visionary whose career spanned seven decades. Credited with over 50 theatre productions, he was stage manager, scenic designer, producer, director, theatre manager, academician, author, and public policy advocate: these myriad roles reflect his chosen life as a “generalist,” a multifaceted “theatre man.” He is celebrated for accomplishments that reflect this span: as the premier American expert of 20th-century Russian Theatre; as a major force in creating the “off-Broadway” movement and inspiring live theater throughout the country; as a mentor to actors and innovators in world theatre; as an influential advocate of arts education; and as a student and educator of global theater chosen by prestigious foundations to study and report on theater across the U.S., Europe, and Asia. His career culminated with his accomplishments as a distinguished scholar and teacher, selected to teach and promote theatre as part of a liberal education in such prominent universities as Princeton, Columbia, and Vassar; his academic career was completed at the State University of New York, where he helped create the SUNY Purchase campus and served as founding Dean of Theatre and Film. A prolific author, this multifaceted life is documented in his books and articles, and his work has been the subject of analysis and commentary by admiring colleagues and reviewers in numerous articles, books, journals, and newspapers. His books and papers are preserved for study in prestigious university and college library, archives, and rare book collections.
When a small artery is cut, the collagen fibers in its tissue are exposed, which signals the clotting process to begin. As platelets begin to adhere to the cut edges, they release chemicals to attract even more platelets. Eventually a platelet plug is formed, and the external bleeding stops. Clotting factors in the blood cause strands of blood-borne material, called fibrin, to stick together and seal the inside of the wound. Eventually, the cut blood vessel heals, and the blood clot dissolves after several days.
In January 2011, just weeks after leaving office in California, Schwarzenegger announced that he was reading several new scripts for future films, one of them being the World War II action drama With Wings as Eagles, written by Randall Wallace, based on a true story. On March 6, 2011, at the Arnold Seminar of the Arnold Classic, Schwarzenegger revealed that he was being considered for several films, including sequels to The Terminator and remakes of Predator and The Running Man, and that he was "packaging" a comic book character. The character was later revealed to be the Governator, star of the comic book and animated series of the same name. Schwarzenegger inspired the character and co-developed it with Stan Lee, who would have produced the series. Schwarzenegger would have voiced the Governator.
The Mitsubishi Cordia was a compact hatchback-coupé manufactured by Mitsubishi Motors between 1982 and 1990. Alongside the Tredia and Starion, it was one of the first cars imported and sold to the America by Mitsubishi without partner company Chrysler Corporation. In Japan, the version sold at the "Car Plaza" retail chain was called the Cordia XP, and the one sold at the "Galant Shop" chain was called the Cordia XG. The XG had a somewhat smaller front grille.
Bird Girl Only four statues were made from the original plaster cast. The first went to the Massachusetts garden. The second was sent to Washington, D.C. and is now located in Reading, Pennsylvania. The third was purchased by a family in Lake Forest and has never relocated. The fourth and most famous statue was bought by a family in Savannah, Georgia, who named it Little Wendy and set it up at the family's plot in Bonaventure Cemetery in Savannah, Georgia. It has since been relocated to Telfair Museums' Jepson Center for the Arts, where it is on display for museum visitors.[2] Judson donated the original plaster model to the Crow Island School in Winnetka, Illinois.[3]

Death threats were made against him, including a fatwa issued by Ayatollah Ruhollah Khomeini, the Supreme Leader of Iran, on February 14, 1989. Rushdie was appointed Commandeur de l'Ordre des Arts et des Lettres of France in January 1999. In June 2007, Queen Elizabeth II knighted him for his services to literature. In 2008, The Times ranked him thirteenth on its list of the fifty greatest British writers since 1945. Since 2000, Rushdie has lived in the United States, where he has worked at the Emory University and was elected to the American Academy of Arts and Letters. His most recent book is Joseph Anton: A Memoir, an account of his life in the wake of the Satanic Verses controversy. Career Rushdie's first career was as a copywriter, working for the advertising agency Ogilvy & Mather, where he came up with "irresistibubble" for Aero and "Naughty but Nice" for cream cakes, and for the agency Ayer Barker, for whom he wrote the memorable line "That'll do nicely" for American Express. It was while he was at Ogilvy that he wrote Midnight's Children, before becoming a full-time writer. John Hegarty of Bartle Bogle Hegarty has criticised Rushdie for not referring to his copywriting past frequently enough, although conceding: "He did write crap ads...admittedly." His first novel, Grimus, a part-science fiction tale, was generally ignored by the public and literary critics. His next novel, Midnight's Children, catapulted him to literary notability. This work won the 1981 Booker Prize and, in 1993 and 2008, was awarded the Best of the Bookers as the best novel to have received the prize during its first 25 and 40 years. Midnight's Children follows the life of a child, born at the stroke of midnight as India gained its independence, who is endowed with special powers and a connection to other children born at the dawn of a new and tumultuous age in the history of the Indian sub-continent and the birth of the modern nation of India. The character of Saleem Sinai has been compared to Rushdie. However, the author has refuted the idea of having written any of his characters as autobiographical, stating... People assume that because certain things in the character are drawn from your own experience, it just becomes you. In that sense, I’ve never felt that I’ve written an autobiographical character. After Midnight's Children, Rushdie wrote Shame, in which he depicts the political turmoil in Pakistan, basing his characters on Zulfikar Ali Bhutto and General Muhammad Zia-ul-Haq. Shame won France's Prix du Meilleur Livre Étranger (Best Foreign Book) and was a close runner-up for the Booker Prize. Both these works of postcolonial literature are characterised by a style of magic realism and the immigrant outlook that Rushdie is very conscious of as a member of the Indian diaspora. Rushdie wrote a non-fiction book about Nicaragua in 1987 called The Jaguar Smile. This book has a political focus and is based on his first-hand experiences and research at the scene of Sandinista political experiments. His most controversial work, The Satanic Verses, was published in 1988 (see below). Rushdie has published many short stories, including those collected in East, West (1994). The Moor's Last Sigh, a family epic ranging over some 100 years of India's histor
Thrombin is an enzyme in blood that acts on the clotting factor fibrinogen to form fibrin, helping blood to clot. The thrombin time (TT) assesses the activity of fibrinogen. When an injury occurs and bleeding begins, the body begins to form a clot at the injury site to help stop the bleeding.
El Oso (Spanish for "The Bear"), released in 1998 (see 1998 in music), is the third and final studio album by the New York City band Soul Coughing. The disc is marked by a deep drum and bass influence. Before starting work on the album, the band toured with Full Cycle DJs Krust and Die (in fact, their band with Roni Size, Reprazent, won the Mercury Prize in 1997 and thus put the kibosh on a notion to have them produce)—and by a scattershot approach to production: Tchad Blake (Soul C's "Ruby Vroom", Latin Playboys, Sheryl Crow), Pat Dillett (They Might Be Giants, Doveman, Mary J. Blige), and British drum and bass DJ Optical (Goldie, Grooverider, Ed Rush).

DADGAD, or Celtic tuning is an alternative guitar tuning most associated with Celtic music, though it has also found use in rock, folk, metal and several other genres. Instead of the standard EADGBE tuning, the six guitar strings are tuned, from low to high, D2 A2 D3 G3 A3 D4. Tuning to DADGAD from standard is accomplished by tuning the first, second and sixth strings down a whole step (two frets). The result is an open D suspended fourth chord (see suspended chord). Being suspended, the open tuning is neither intrinsically major nor minor.
Slang terms at the Front - The British Library Slang terms at the Front Julian Walker explores the growth of slang used by soldiers in the trenches from describing food to alternate names for allies and enemies. Food The limited diet of the British soldier in the front line included Tickler’s Plum and Apple Jam, known as ‘pozzy’ (possibly from a South African word for ‘preserved food’), ‘biscuit’, a hard-baked bread that had seen service for many years in Britain’s armies and navies, and ‘bully beef’, whose name may have come from the French boeuf bouillé (boiled beef) or possibly from the picture of a bull’s head on many tin designs. ‘Gippo’, stew or thick gravy, probably derived from a term used in the 17th and 18th centuries to denote a kitchen servant. Rum was delivered to the front in jars labelled SRD, interpreted as ‘seldom reaches destination’. Available behind the lines in French bars were ‘Bombardier Fritz’ (pommes de terre frites – chips) with ‘oofs’ and ‘pang’, and ‘plonk’ (vin blanc – white wine). Experiences common to European armies at the time – poor food and the logistics of transport – provided similar terms for poor quality butter or margarine: ‘axlegrease’ and the German Wagenschmiere (wagongrease). Soldiers grew adept at getting hold of food by various means; terms included ‘mumping’, ‘winning’, ‘cadging’, ‘humming’, ‘making’, ‘boning’, ‘souveniring’ and ‘hot-stuffing’. Some of these terms were invented at the time while others dated back centuries. Cook book for the trenches Cookbook for soldiers in the trenches published in 1915 giving simple recipes that could be made with few ingredients. Free from known copyright restrictions Materiel Many of the terms for weapons and artillery were remarkably similar on both sides of no man’s land, indicating a similarity of attitude, that the soldier had two enemies, the opposing forces and the war itself. Germans and British used the same terms for the German stick-grenade – a potato-masher – both sides had a ‘Black Maria’, and both sides used a German name for an aeroplane – a ‘Taube’. Some of these terms became indelibly associated with the war: ‘whizz-bangs’ speaks explicitly of the soldier’s experience of knowing how to identify a particular kind of incoming shell, and what action might be worth taking. ‘Jack Johnson’, referencing the black heavyweight champion boxer, was for a shell which created a large amount of black smoke. ‘Moaning Minnie’ referred to the German trench mortar or Minenwerfer, the term carrying overtones of familiarity and humour. Names for troops: ‘Tommy’ and ‘Foot Slogger’ Documentation of ‘Tommy Atkins’, the archetypical name for the British soldier, dates back to 1815. ‘Tommy’ became immortalised in the first of Rudyard Kipling’s Barrack Room Ballads, published in 1892: O it's Tommy this, an' Tommy that, an' “Tommy, go away”; But it's “Thank you, Mister Atkins," when the band begins to play, The band begins to play, my boys, the band begins to play, O it's “Thank you, Mr. Atkins," when the band begins to play. The name ‘Tommy’ was used universally throughout the First World War, by both sides. Some correspondence to The Times in 1914 indicates that not everyone felt well-disposed towards the name. ‘An Ensign of 1848’ wrote on 23 October: ‘May I ... suggest that the time has now come ... to put a period to the use of the nickname ‘Tommies’? ... To hear these British soldiers referred to in depreciatory patronage as ‘Tommies’ by those who stay at home ... is unseemly and exasperating.’ Three days later another reader wrote that if you were to ask ‘a company of Garrison Artillery what they think of the name and of the verses in which it was first enshrined the reply was startling and anything but complimentary to the author of the verses.’ It is possible that this was a matter of opinion which differed between individuals, regiments, platoons, and any groupings of soldiers. Certainly there are clear indications of its being used by soldiers: the trench paper The Salient for Christmas 1915 advertises The Buzzer, the paper of the 49th
The most precise timekeeping device of the ancient world was the water clock, or clepsydra, one of which was found in the tomb of Egyptian pharaoh Amenhotep I (1525–1504 BC). They could be used to measure the hours even at night, but required manual upkeep to replenish the flow of water. The Ancient Greeks and the people from Chaldea (southeastern Mesopotamia) regularly maintained timekeeping records as an essential part of their astronomical observations. Arab inventors and engineers in particular made improvements on the use of water clocks up to the Middle Ages. In the 11th century, Chinese inventors and engineers invented the first mechanical clocks driven by an escapement mechanism.

Estonia made their third Eurovision Song Contest appearance in 1997. The preselection for the Eurovision Song Contest 1997 final would follow the same format of previous years, with a judging panel selecting the song and artist that would represent Estonia in the final. The judges would eventually choose Maarja-Liis Ilus again, making her the first (and thus far only) Estonian entrant to have made back-to-back appearances in the Eurovision Song Contest. In the final, Ilus finished 8th.
Genadendal Residence Genadendal Residence [χəˈnɑːdəndal] is the official residence of the President of South Africa when in office at Tuynhuys, Cape Town.[1] Genadendal is situated in Cape Town, Western Cape, South Africa.

Every change begins with a leadership decision. Making the decision to institute changes is not always easy. Being prepared, planning well, and being surrounded by a good team will make that decision a lot easier. Begin by putting yourself in a positive frame of mind. You are likely to experience higher than normal levels of stress and knowing this beforehand will give you the ability to be prepared mentally and physically. You will be the anchorperson and foundation, and with your steady hand will guide your team through the stressful events. Be a reassuring and active force throughout the whole process. It is impossible to prepare for every contingency, but planning for the known is a must. Add time or extra room to the schedule for the unknowns. When you encounter an unexpected event, your schedule should not be put off by much if you have built in some leeway. It will provide that buffer that gives you and your team the ability to deal with the unknowns and keep rolling with the change process Surround yourself with people that you can delegate to and be confident in their abilities and skills. Be precise and specific with your directions as when the change process begins you will be depending on these individuals and their talents. Communicating and providing feedback are the keys to successful delegation; make sure your team understands this. If communication fails or there is not accurate feedback the chances of a success are lessened. An issue that sometimes arises when delegating is micro managing. Keep an eye out to not micro-manage as you can quickly lose track of events and it will take time away from your main duties. Delegating is a skill that takes time as you must first learn the strengths and weakness of your team and know what tasks you can and cannot hand out. It may not be possible to always delegate, but when it can be done it will provide a great resource. Always be available during the change process. Before the change prepare your friends and family that you may not be available for social events. Reassure your team that you are there for them and you are here to provide them with the necessary resources to lead them through the change. Stress to them that you are available and focused on keeping the communications lines open. Always be aware of rumors, they will happen before during and after the change. Do not ignore any rumor, put out honest and clear communication as soon as possible. Reassure your team that if they hear a rumor to seek out more information from a reliable source. Remind them that spreading rumors helps no one and will cause more harm than good. Not everyone will agree on the change. Keep in mind that these types of feelings are normal, as people generally do not enjoy change and are sometimes made nervous by it. You will likely encounter pushback and resistance by a number of team members. Provide facts and data to show why the change is happening and reassure them the need and benefits of the change. These types of individuals are best suited to be educated about the change with information. If you are encountering an extreme case of pushback, provide them with some choices that still fall within the spectrum of the intended change. They should then feel more involved in the process and it will help alleviate the negative mindset they may be experiencing.It is vitally important to make sure that all stakeholders and employees are on board with a change. In order to continue increasing awareness and to build desire to support the upcoming change; the change management team must reach out to the organization at large. The force field analysis, developed by German social psychologist Kurt Lewin helps a change management team to: • Identify pros and cons of an option prior to making a decision • Explore what is going right — and what is going wrong • Analyse any two opposing positions. If concerns or issues arise, then steps must be taken to ensure awareness is continually raised and that desire to support the change is increased. Strategies that can help the change management team responsively address employees’ concerns include: • Engaging employees, providing forums for people to express their questions and concerns • Equipping managers & supervisors to be effective change leaders and managers of resistance • Orchestrating opportunities for advocates of the change to contact those not yet on board • Aligning incentive and performance management systems to support the change. Change is not exempt from Murphy’s Law. And even if something isn’t going wrong, change management team members must constantly be observing, listening, and evaluating the progress and process during a change. Below are several tools to help the team accomplish this. A feedback form is used to gather information from those involved in a change to help shape the remaining course of the change project. Instead of a paper form, feedback can be obtained through online surveys (Zoomerang.com or Survey Monkey.com), an in-house questionnaire on the intranet, a few questions sent by email, or a focus group. The questions will vary depending upon the subject being queried. Open Feedback include asking participants for suggestions and comments. The compiled results of the feedback forms can be used by the change management team members to modify the project plan and/or the communication plan or to work with specific individuals or groups that may be providing roadblocks to success. Once a change initiative is underway, it is critical to sustain the change with reinforcement. The leader must make sure that the project and communication plan remain on track. They need to identify, and explore any issues from employees or stakeholders that have emerged, and review and consider any feedback gathered to date. Acting as a facilitator, the leader helps to bring about learning and productivity. Communication will be a byproduct of this by providing indirect or unobtrusive assistance, guidance, and supervision.He or she listens actively, asks questions, encourages diverse viewpoints, organizes information, helps the group reach consensus, and understands that the individual needs of team members will affect teamwork. The LEAD model provides a simple methodology for facilitating a participative meeting: • Lead with objectives: When clear objectives are stated up front, group energy is channeled toward achieving an outcome. The objectives shape the content of the meeting. • Empower to participate: In the Lead model, the facilitator is empowered to encourage active participation. • Aim for consensus: Getting the team to consensus will have members more likely to support and carry out the decisions of the team. • Direct the process: How the meeting progresses will influence the quality of the decisions of the team, and influences the commitment of team members. Leaders must differentiate between process and content. Content includes the topics, subjects, or issues; process is about how the topics, subjects, or issues are addressed. Because communications from managers and supervisors have been shown to have a significant impact on employees during a change initiative, it is appropriate that they be actively involved in celebrating success with employees as a result of positive performance. Celebrations can occur on three levels: 1. One on one conversation: In a private meeting, a supervisor should attest to the fact that due to the employee’s effort, a change was made, and how it is succeeding. He or she should extend verbal thanks to the employee. 2. Public recognition: Public recognition officially acknowledges outstanding performance and points out a role model that helped make a successful change happen. Supervisors should carefully consider who receives recognition, and not alienate group members who participated in the change but who many not have distinguished themselves as significantly. 3. Group celebrations: Fun or engaging activities are used to celebrate key milestones by a group. They include buffet or restaurant lunches, dinner events, or can include group outings to sports, amusement, or cultural events. It is important that these types of celebrations try to include the involvement of the primary change sponsor in some way.

Truman Capote's heroine Holly Golightly by another name \| The Independent Truman Capote's heroine Holly Golightly by another name Author originally christened his famous character Connie Gustafson Tuesday 2 April 2013 18:13 BST Click to follow Truman Capote's heroine Holly Golightly by another name 1/3 Audrey Hepburn famously played Capote's heroine Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's Rex Features The typed manuscript of the novella with hand annotations by Truman Capote AP Getty Images Audrey Hepburn famously played Capote's heroine Holly Golightly in Breakfast At Tiffany's When Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s was first published in 1958, the author’s contemporary Norman Mailer called Capote “the most perfect writer of my generation” and suggested that he “would not have changed two words” in the book. It is now clear, however, that Capote himself was inspired to change two rather crucial words in his own text at the last minute: the name of his now-iconic protagonist. Capote’s type-written, hand-edited manuscript of his celebrated novella is being offered at auction this month in New Hampshire, where it is expected to fetch more than $250,000 (£165,300). The author’s annotations are on every page, though none is as striking as the alteration he made to his heroine’s name: Holly Golightly, later famously played by Audrey Hepburn, was originally christened “Connie Gustafson”. The 84-page final working draft for the novella’s publication by Random House features at least 150 instances in which Capote crossed out the original name and inserted its replacement. It is the star attraction of RR Auction’s online sale of hundreds of items of Hollywood memorabilia, from 18 to 25 April. The sale also includes a film of Marilyn Monroe visiting troops in South Korea in 1954, shot by an infantry lieutenant, as well as items autographed by James Dean, Humphrey Bogart, Clark Gable and Judy Garland. RR Auction’s vice president Bobby Livingston told the Associated Press that the Capote manuscript is “obviously quite a treasure, quite a find for us”. The seller wished to remain anonymous, he said, but is linked to the estate of a “very famous” New York autograph collector. Capote, who died aged 59 in 1984, was also the author of the non-fiction classic In Cold Blood (1966). He supposedly conceived the idea for Breakfast at Tiffany’s while travelling in Europe in 1949, but it took him nine years to bring the idea to fruition. The novella begins in autumn 1943, when its unnamed narrator first encounters Holly Golightly, a fellow tenant in his Manhattan apartment block. Holly – who has changed her own name from Lula Mae Barnes better to appeal to New York society – subsists on dates with wealthy lovers, in the hope that one of them will marry her. Capote described his most famous character as an “American geisha”. The book’s content was considered so racy for its time that Harper’s Bazaar, which had purchased serialisation rights for $2,000, decided not to print it. An incensed Capote vowed never to offer the magazine any of his work again. Instead, Breakfast at Tiffany’s was first serialised in Esquire’s November 1958 issue, and published by Random House shortly thereafter. The 1961 movie version, starring Hepburn and George Peppard, shifted the action to 1960 and added a romance between its two central characters. Capote was almost ready to submit his final draft when he came up with the new name for his femme fatale at the eleventh hour, said Livingston. The character was reportedly inspired by Capote’s close friendships with a series of New York society figures, including the heiress and fashion designer Gloria Vanderbilt; Oona O’Neill, daughter of the playwright Eugene O’Neill; actress Carol Grace; writer Maeve Brennan; and model Dorian Leigh, whom he nicknamed “Happy Go Lucky”. According to Capote’s biographer Gerald Clarke, “half the women he knew … claimed to be the model for his wacky heroine.” More about:

INTRODUCTION — Optic neuritis is an inflammatory, demyelinating condition that causes acute, usually monocular, visual loss. It is highly associated with multiple sclerosis (MS). Optic neuritis is the presenting feature of MS in 15 to 20 percent of patients and occurs in 50 percent at some time during the course of their illness [ 1-4 ]. The term optic neuritis is sometimes applied to other inflammatory and infectious conditions affecting the optic nerve. These and other causes of optic neuropathy are discussed separately. (See "Optic neuropathies" . )The epidemiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, and diagnosis of demyelinating optic neuritis will be covered here. Prognosis and treatment of optic neuritis and other clinical manifestations of multiple sclerosis are discussed separately. (See "Optic neuritis: Prognosis and treatment" and "Clinical features of multiple sclerosis in adults" and "Clinically isolated syndromes suggestive of multiple sclerosis" . )EPIDEMIOLOGY — Most cases of acute demyelinating optic neuritis occur in women (two-thirds) and typically develop in patients between the ages of 20 and 40 [ 5-7 ]. The incidence of optic neuritis is highest in populations located at higher latitudes, in the northern United States and western Europe, and is lowest in regions closer to the equator. In the United States, studies have estimated the annual incidence of optic neuritis to be as high as 6.4 per 100,000 [ 8,9 ]. In the United States, optic neuritis occurs more frequently in whites than blacks [ 10 ]. In Asia, optic neuritis is proportionately more common relative to the incidence of multiple sclerosis than in the United States or Western Europe [ 11 ]. PATHOPHYSIOLOGY — The most common pathologic basis for optic neuritis is inflammatory demyelination of the optic nerve. The pathology is similar to that of acute multiple sclerosis (MS) plaques in the brain, with perivascular cuffing, edema in the myelinated nerve sheaths, and myelin breakdown. Inflammation of the retinal vascular endothelium can precede demyelination and is sometimes visibly manifest as retinal vein sheathing [ 12 ]. Myelin loss exceeds axonal loss. It is believed that the demyelination in optic neuritis is immune-mediated, but the specific mechanism and target antigen (s) are unknown. Systemic T cell activation is identified at symptom onset and precedes changes in the cerebrospinal fluid [ 13 ]. Systemic changes also normalize earlier (within two to four weeks) than central changes. T cell activation leads to the release of cytokines and other inflammatory agents. B cell activation against myelin basic protein is not seen in peripheral blood but can be demonstrated in the cerebrospinal fluid of patients with optic neuritis [ 14 ]. As with MS, a genetic susceptibility for optic neuritis is suspected. This is supported by an over-representation of certain human leukocyte antigen (HLA) types among patients with optic neuritis [ 15,16 ]. CLINICAL FEATURESAcute features — Optic neuritis is usually monocular in its clinical presentation. In about 10 percent of cases, symptoms occur in both eyes, either simultaneously or in rapid succession [ 17 ]. Bilateral optic neuritis is more common in children younger than 12 to 15 years old and also in Asian and black South African patients [ 17-22 ]. Because bilateral symptoms are relatively uncommon, they should suggest an alternative cause of optic neuropathy. However, subclinical visual deficits in acuity, contrast sensitivity, color vision, and visual field in the contralateral eye can often be elicited by detailed visual testing in patients with clinically monocular disease [ 9,23 ]. Because these deficits usually resolve along with the clinical deficits in the symptomatic eye, it is unlikely that these findings represent prior episodes of optic neuritis. Other clinical features of optic neuritis were systematically characterized in the Optic Neuritis Treatment Trial (ONTT), which enrolled 457 patients, aged 18 to 46 years, with acute unilateral optic neuritis [ 7,24 ]. The two most common symptoms of optic neuritis are vision loss and eye pain:● Vision loss typically develops over a period of hours to days, peaking within one to two weeks. Continued deterioration after that time suggests an alternative diagnosis [ 1,2 ]. Greater than 90 percent of patients in the ONTT had a significant decrease in central visual acuity. In most, the visual acuities ranged from 20/25 to 20/190 (median visual acuity 20/60). However, some patients had 20/20 acuity (11 percent), and, at the other extreme, a few had no light perception (3 percent).● Eye pain occurred in 92 percent of patients in the ONTT and often worsened with eye movement [ 7 ]. The onset of pain generally coincided with the visual acuity loss and improved along with it. Other common visual symptoms and signs include:● An afferent pupillary defect always occurs in optic neuritis if the other eye is uninvolved and otherwise healthy. This is demonstrated by shining a light alternately in one eye and then the other and finding that the direct response to light is more sluggish in the affected eye. The room should be dark, and the patient should fixate on a distant target to prevent miosis due to accommodation. (See "The detailed neurologic examination in adults", section on 'Afferent pupillary defect' . )● The visual field defect in optic neuritis is typically characterized as a central scotoma [ 1,25 ]. However, in the ONTT, almost all types of visual field defects were seen, including diffuse vision loss and altitudinal, arcuate, hemianopic, and cecocentral defects. Nonetheless, a defect that extends to the periphery should suggest a compressive lesion, while an altitudinal defect, particularly an inferior altitudinal defect, is more common in anterior ischemic optic neuropathy [ 1,25 ]. Visual field defects usually resolve; in the ONTT, 56 percent had normalized at one year and 73 percent had normalized at 10 years [ 26,27 ].● Papillitis with hyperemia and swelling of the disk, blurring of disk margins, and distended veins is seen in one-third of patients with optic neuritis ( picture 1 ) [ 7 ]. Two-thirds of these patients have retrobulbar neuritis with a normal funduscopic examination ( picture 2 ). Papillitis is more common in children less than 14 years old and in certain ethnic populations, including black South Africans and Southeast Asians [ 11,18-20 ]. Peripapillary hemorrhages are rare in optic neuritis, but are a common accompaniment to papillitis due to anterior ischemic optic neuropathy [ 1 ].● Photopsias (flickering or flashes of light) are often precipitated with eye movement and were reported by 30 percent of patients in the ONTT [ 7 ].● Loss of color of vision out of proportion to the loss of visual acuity is specific to optic nerve pathology. Abnormal color vision by Ishihara plates was found in 88 percent of involved eyes in the ONTT; this increased to 94 percent with the more sensitive Farnsworth-Munsell 100 hue test [ 7 ].● Other signs of ocular inflammation may be observed by the ophthalmologist on funduscopic or slit lamp examination. Perivenous sheathing or periphlebitis retinae can be seen in about 12 percent of patients with optic neuritis and implies a high risk for multiple sclerosis (MS) [ 9,12 ]. Uveitis, cells in the anterior chamber, and/or pars planitis are uncommonly seen in optic neuritis and are more typical of infections and other autoimmune diseases. (See "Optic neuropathies" . )Chronic features — Even after clinical recovery, signs of optic neuritis can persist. These signs in a patient without a history of optic neuritis may suggest a previous, subclinical attack. When a patient presents with a possible first attack of MS elsewhere in the central nervous system, these signs are often sought because evidence of other demyelinating episodes separated in "time and space" can affect prognosis and treatment decisions. (See "Clinically isolated syndromes suggestive of multiple sclerosis" . )Chronic signs of optic neuritis can include:● Persistent visual loss. Most patients with optic neuritis recover functional vision within one year. However, on testing, deficits in color vision, contrast sensitivity, stereo acuity, and light brightness are detectable in most patients at up to two years [ 28 ]. (See "Optic neuritis: Prognosis and treatment", section on 'Recovery of vision' . )● A relative afferent pupillary defect remains in approximately one-fourth of patients two years after presentation [ 28 ].● Color desaturation refers to a qualitative inter-eye difference in color perception that can be tested by comparing vision of a red object with each eye. A patient with monocular "red desaturation" may report that the red color appears "washed out," pink, or orange when viewed with the affected eye.● Temporary exacerbations of visual problems in patients can occur with increased body temperature (Uhthoff's phenomenon). Hot showers and exercise are classic precipitants.● Optic atrophy to at least some degree almost always follows an attack of optic neuritis, despite the return of visual acuity [ 29 ]. Normal, 20/20 visual acuity requires less than one-half of normal foveal axons [ 30 ]. The disc appears shrunken and pale, particularly in its temporal half (temporal pallor). The disk pallor extends beyond the margins of the disk into the peripapillary retinal nerve fiber layer.● The pattern-shift visual evoked response remains delayed in most patients, even with visual recovery. Although latencies continue to shorten (improve) up to two years after presentation, abnormalities are seen in most (80 percent) at two years [ 28,31,32 ]. (See 'Visual evoked response' below. )DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSIS — In a young child, infectious and postinfectious causes of optic nerve impairment should be considered as alternatives to optic neuritis, while in an older patient (>50 years), ischemic optic neuropathy (due, for example, to diabetes mellitus or giant cell arteritis) is a more likely diagnosis than optic neuritis. Alternative diagnoses should also be considered in patients with a bilateral presentation or those with other neurologic or systemic symptoms. In cases of recurrent optic neuritis that are not due to neuromyelitis optica or MS, other causes of recurrent optic neuritis should be thoroughly investigated (such as sarcoidosis, lupus, chronic relapsing inflammatory optic neuropathy (CRION), or paraneoplastic optic neuropathy (serum CRMP-5/CV2 antibody)). The differential diagnosis of optic nerve diseases is summarized in the tables and is discussed separately ( table 1 and table 2 ). (See "Optic neuropathies" . )EVALUATION AND DIAGNOSISDiagnosis — In general, optic neuritis is a clinical diagnosis based upon the history and examination findings. Because important findings on funduscopic examination help differentiate typical from atypical cases of optic neuritis, an ophthalmologic examination should be considered an essential feature of the clinical evaluation. Magnetic resonance imaging study of the brain and orbits with gadolinium contrast provides confirmation of the diagnosis in most cases and also provides and assessment of the risk of subsequent multiple sclerosis. Further diagnostic testing is directed toward excluding other causes of visual loss in atypical cases (See 'Differential diagnosis' above. )Magnetic resonance imaging — A magnetic resonance imaging study (MRI) of the brain and orbits with gadolinium contrast provides confirmation of the diagnosis of acute demyelinating optic neuritis and important prognostic information regarding the risk of developing MS. Innovations in MRI technology (eg, short tau inversion recovery [STIR], fast spin echo [FSE], and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery with fat suppression techniques [FLAIR], diffusion tensor imaging [DTI]) have improved imaging of the optic nerve [ 33-35 ]. Optic nerve inflammation can be demonstrated in about 95 percent of patients with optic neuritis with gadolinium contrast-enhanced MRI of the brain and orbits ( image 1 ) [ 6,36-38 ]. The longitudinal extent of nerve involvement as seen on MRI correlates with visual impairment at presentation and with visual prognosis [ 31,36,38 ]. Gadolinium enhancement persists for a mean of 30 days since onset [ 31 ]. The signal abnormality in the nerve can still be seen after recovery of vision, and is also present in as many as 60 percent of patients with MS who do not have a clinical history of optic neuritis [ 31,39-41 ]. The brain MRI often shows white matter abnormalities characteristic of MS ( image 2 ). Typical lesions are ovoid, periventricular, and larger than 3 mm. (See "Diagnosis of multiple sclerosis in adults", section on 'Lesion characteristics' .) The reported prevalence of white matter abnormalities varies substantially among patients with optic neuritis (23 to 75 percent) [ 42 ]. In the ONTT, almost 40 percent of patients had MRI lesions, but this trial represents a selected patient group [ 7 ]. Small case series of unselected patients have noted a higher coincidence of MRI brain lesions [ 31,43,44 ]. Individuals with white matter abnormalities are at a higher risk of developing MS. (See "Optic neuritis: Prognosis and treatment" . )The yield of spinal cord imaging is low in unselected patients. Among 115 patients presenting with optic neuritis, MRI abnormalities in the spinal cord were seen in only four patients with a normal brain MRI [ 42 ]. Lumbar puncture — Lumbar puncture is not an essential diagnostic test in optic neuritis, but should be considered in atypical cases (eg, those with bilateral presentation, <15 years in age, or symptoms suggesting infection) [ 45,46 ]. (See "Optic neuropathies", section on 'Infections' . )Approximately 60 to 80 percent of patients with acute optic neuritis have nonspecific abnormalities in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), including lymphocytes (10 to 100) and elevated protein [ 43 ]. Other CSF findings in optic neuritis can include [ 47 ]:● Myelin basic protein in about 20 percent● Ig G synthesis in 20 to 36 percent● Oligoclonal bands (OCB) in 56 to 69 percent The presence of OCB implies a higher risk of developing MS. However, since OCB are also associated with white matter lesions on brain MRI, their presence is not clearly of independent prognostic importance [ 47 ]. (See "Optic neuritis: Prognosis and treatment" . )Other testing — When there are relevant clues to an alternative diagnosis ( table 2 ), measurement of the erythrocyte sedimentation rate, antinuclear antibodies, and angiotensin converting enzyme levels and serologic and CSF tests for Lyme disease and syphilis should be obtained [ 45,46 ]. (See "Optic neuropathies" . )Fluorescein angiography — Fluorescein angiography is not routinely performed in the evaluation of optic neuritis and is often normal. Up to 25 percent demonstrate either dye leakage or perivenous sheathing [ 12 ]. These findings may identify patients at somewhat higher risk for developing MS. Visual evoked response — A delay in the P100 of the visual evoked response (VER) is the electrophysiologic manifestation of slowed conduction in the optic nerve as a result of axonal demyelination [ 48 ]. This test is not usually helpful in the diagnosis of acute optic neuritis, unless there is a suspicion that the visual loss is functional. Abnormalities in the VER can persist after recovery of full vision. At one year, 80 to 90 percent will be abnormal; 35 percent will return to normal at two years [ 28,31,32 ]. The VER is often employed to find evidence of previous, asymptomatic, episodes of optic neuritis, but the sensitivity and specificity are imperfect [ 1 ]. The multifocal VER is a technical advance that appears to be more sensitive and specific for identifying optic neuritis, but this technology is not generally available [ 1,49 ]. Optical coherence tomography — Optical coherence tomography (OCT) measures the thickness in the retinal nerve fiber layer and detects thinning in most (85 percent) of patients with optic neuritis [ 48,50-53 ]. These abnormalities are also common in patients with MS who do not have a clinical history of optic neuritis [ 54 ]. While lower values correlate with impaired visual outcome, the utility of OCT as a prognostic tool is limited in that abnormal values do not show up until early swelling disappears. In one study, OCT was less sensitive than VER in detecting subclinical optic neuritis [ 55 ]. A number of studies have found that a greater severity of optic nerve injury seen on OCT suggests neuromyelitis optica rather than optic neuritis associated with multiple sclerosis [ 56-58 ]. Aquaporin-4-specific serum autoantibody — Patients with recurrent optic neuritis may be particularly at risk neuromyelitis optica (NMO) or Devic's disease. This is particularly true for patients with a normal brain MRI and those with optic neuritis events in rapid succession or with a presentation of severe vision loss [ 59 ]. In one series of 51 patients with either severe or recurrent optic neuritis, six patients were seropositive for the aquaporin-4-specific serum autoantibody, a sensitive biomarker for NMO while 10 patients were seropositive for antibodies to myelin-oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG), which has also been associated with NMO [ 60 ]. In other studies, seropositivity for the aquaporin-4-specific serum autoantibody was predictive of subsequent NMO among patients with recurrent optic neuritis [ 61,62 ]. The serum NMO antibody test is suggested for individuals with recurrent ON, particularly if the MRI brain is negative for any abnormal T2/FLAIR lesions outside of the affected optic nerve (s). The role for testing MOG antibodies is investigational [ 63 ]. INFORMATION FOR PATIENTS — Up To Date offers two types of patient education materials, “The Basics” and “Beyond the Basics.” The Basics patient education pieces are written in plain language, at the 5 th to 6 th grade reading level, and they answer the four or five key questions a patient might have about a given condition. These articles are best for patients who want a general overview and who prefer short, easy-to-read materials. Beyond the Basics patient education pieces are longer, more sophisticated, and more detailed. These articles are written at the 10 th to 12 th grade reading level and are best for patients who want in-depth information and are comfortable with some medical jargon. Here are the patient education articles that are relevant to this topic. We encourage you to print or e-mail these topics to your patients. (You can also locate patient education articles on a variety of subjects by searching on “patient info” and the keyword (s) of interest. )● Basics topic (see "Patient education: Optic neuritis (The Basics)")SUMMARY AND RECOMMENDATIONS — Optic neuritis is an acute inflammatory demyelinating injury to the optic nerve.● In typical cases, painful, monocular visual loss evolves over several hours to a few days. One-third of patients have visible optic nerve inflammation on funduscopic examination (papillitis); in the remainder, the inflammation is retrobulbar. (See 'Acute features' above. )● Chronic signs of optic neuritis include a relative afferent pupillary defect, color desaturation, and optic atrophy. These often persist despite recovery of normal vision. (See 'Chronic features' above. )● Common entities in the differential diagnosis of optic neuritis are presented in the tables ( table 1 and table 2 ). (See "Optic neuropathies" . )● A gadolinium-enhanced MRI of the brain and orbits provides confirmation of optic neuritis and aids in the assessment of prognosis and treatment decisions. Other tests, including lumbar puncture, fluorescein angiography, and visual evoked potentials are used in atypical cases. (See 'Evaluation and diagnosis' above. )REFERENCESBalcer LJ.

Though earlier approaches to translation are less commonly used today, they retain importance when dealing with their products, as when historians view ancient or medieval records to piece together events which took place in non-Western or pre-Western environments. Also, though heavily influenced by Western traditions and practiced by translators taught in Western-style educational systems, Chinese and related translation traditions retain some theories and philosophies unique to the Chinese tradition.
