The National Health Service Act 1946 gave county and borough councils a statutory responsibility to provide an emergency ambulance service , although they could contract a voluntary ambulance service to provide this , with many contracting the British Red Cross , St John Ambulance or another local provider . The last St John Division , ( the original designation of a local unit , now called ' branches ' ) , to be so contracted is reputed to have been at Whittlesey in Cambridgeshire , where the two - bay ambulance garage can still be seen at the branch headquarters . The Regional Ambulance Officers ' Committee reported in 1979 that `` There was considerable local variation in the quality of the service provided , particularly in relation to vehicles , staff and equipment . Most Services were administered by Local Authorities through their Medical Officer of Health and his Ambulance Officer , a few were under the aegis of the Fire Service , whilst others relied upon agency methods for the provision of part or all of their services .

In the midst of a wartime evacuation , a British aeroplane crashes on or near an isolated island in a remote region of the Pacific Ocean . The only survivors are boys in their middle childhood or preadolescence . Two boys -- the fair - haired Ralph and an overweight , bespectacled boy nicknamed `` Piggy '' -- find a conch , which Ralph uses as a horn to convene all the survivors to one area . Ralph is optimistic , believing that grown - ups will come to rescue them but Piggy realises the need to organise : ( `` put first things first and act proper '' ) . Because Ralph appears responsible for bringing all the survivors together , he immediately commands some authority over the other boys and is quickly elected their `` chief '' . He does not receive the votes of the members of a boys ' choir , led by the red - headed Jack Merridew , although he allows the choir boys to form a separate clique of hunters . Ralph establishes three primary policies : to have fun , to survive , and to constantly maintain a smoke signal that could alert passing ships to their presence on the island and thus rescue them . The boys establish a form of democracy by declaring that whoever holds the conch shall also be able to speak at their formal gatherings and receive the attentive silence of the larger group . | when did the plane crash in lord of the flies | In the midst of a wartime evacuation |

Diamonds are far from evenly distributed over the Earth . A rule of thumb known as Clifford 's rule states that they are almost always found in kimberlites on the oldest part of cratons , the stable cores of continents with typical ages of 2.5 billion years or more . However , there are exceptions . The Argyle diamond mine in Australia , the largest producer of diamonds by weight in the world , is located in a mobile belt , also known as an orogenic belt , a weaker zone surrounding the central craton that has undergone compressional tectonics . Instead of kimberlite , the host rock is lamproite . Lamproites with diamonds that are not economically viable are also found in the United States , India and Australia . In addition , diamonds in the Wawa belt of the Superior province in Canada and microdiamonds in the island arc of Japan are found in a type of rock called lamprophyre . | where do most of the worlds diamonds come from | The Argyle diamond mine in Australia |

The Epic of Gilgamesh ( / ˈɡɪlɡəˌmɛʃ / ) is an epic poem from ancient Mesopotamia that is often regarded as the earliest surviving great work of literature . The literary history of Gilgamesh begins with five Sumerian poems about Bilgamesh ( Sumerian for `` Gilgamesh '' ) , king of Uruk , dating from the Third Dynasty of Ur ( c. 2100 BC ) . These independent stories were later used as source material for a combined epic . The first surviving version of this combined epic , known as the `` Old Babylonian '' version , dates to the 18th century BC and is titled after its incipit , Shūtur eli sharrī ( `` Surpassing All Other Kings '' ) . Only a few tablets of it have survived . The later `` standard '' version dates from the 13th to the 10th centuries BC and bears the incipit Sha naqba īmuru ( `` He who Saw the Deep '' , in modern terms : `` He who Sees the Unknown '' ) . Approximately two thirds of this longer , twelve - tablet version have been recovered . Some of the best copies were discovered in the library ruins of the 7th - century BC Assyrian king Ashurbanipal . | when did the epic of gilgamesh take place | c. 2100 BC |
Before the 1984 Winter Olympics , a dispute formed over what made a player a professional . The IOC had adopted a rule that made any player who had signed an NHL contract but played less than ten games in the league eligible . However , the United States Olympic Committee maintained that any player contracted with an NHL team was a professional and therefore not eligible to play . The IOC held an emergency meeting that ruled NHL - contracted players were eligible , as long as they had not played in any NHL games . This made five players on Olympic rosters -- one Austrian , two Italians and two Canadians -- ineligible . Players who had played in other professional leagues -- such as the World Hockey Association -- were allowed to play .

The Union and Confederacy quickly raised volunteer and conscription armies that fought mostly in the South over four years . The Union finally won the war when General Robert E. Lee surrendered to General Ulysses S. Grant at the Battle of Appomattox Court House , followed by a series of surrenders by Confederate generals throughout the southern states . Four years of intense combat left 620,000 to 750,000 people dead , more than the number of U.S. military deaths in all other wars combined ( at least until approximately the Vietnam War ) .

The first goal of the Omaha Platform was to increase the coinage of silver to gold at a 16 : 1 ratio . The Omaha Platform suggested a federal loans system so that farmers could get the money they needed . The platform also called for the elimination of private banks . The platform required a system of federal storage facilities for the farmers ' crops . The objective was to allow the farmers to control the pricing of their products . The Omaha Platform made a special taxing system for them so that they would have to pay taxes depending on how much money they made . They also asked for an eight - hour workday and the direct election of senators , as opposed to them being elected by state legislatures . Those were the main goals of the Omaha Platform , all focused on helping rural and working - class Americans . They also made it so that farmers would only work 8 hours instead of 10 or more . After 1894 , Populists emphasized the demand for free coinage of silver rather than other goals , such as state - run railroads . | what were the demands of the populist platform of 1892 | to increase the coinage of silver to gold at a 16 : 1 ratio |

John Williams composed the film 's score , which earned him an Academy Award , his second win and first for Original Score , and was later ranked the sixth greatest score by the American Film Institute . The main `` shark '' theme , a simple alternating pattern of two notes -- variously identified as `` E and F '' or `` F and F sharp '' -- became a classic piece of suspense music , synonymous with approaching danger ( see leading - tone ) . Williams described the theme as `` grinding away at you , just as a shark would do , instinctual , relentless , unstoppable . '' The piece was performed by tuba player Tommy Johnson . When asked by Johnson why the melody was written in such a high register and not played by the more appropriate French horn , Williams responded that he wanted it to sound `` a little more threatening '' . When Williams first demonstrated his idea to Spielberg , playing just the two notes on a piano , Spielberg was said to have laughed , thinking that it was a joke . As Williams saw similarities between Jaws and pirate movies , at other points in the score he evoked `` pirate music '' , which he called `` primal , but fun and entertaining ''. The primal opening notes are developed from the opening foreboding tone of Ravel 's La Valse . Calling for rapid , percussive string playing , the score contains echoes of La mer by Claude Debussy as well of Igor Stravinsky 's The Rite of Spring . | in jaws in what register of the orchestra is the shark's theme | a simple alternating pattern of two notes -- variously identified as `` E and F '' or `` F and F sharp '' |

In the poem , Pound describes a moment in the underground metro station in Paris in 1912 ; Pound suggested that the faces of the individuals in the metro were best put into a poem not with a description but with an `` equation '' .

The wet feet , dry feet policy or wet foot , dry foot policy is the name given to a former interpretation of the 1995 revision of the application of the Cuban Adjustment Act of 1966 that essentially says that anyone who fled Cuba and entered the United States would be allowed to pursue residency a year later . Prior to 1995 , the US government allowed all Cubans who reached US territorial waters to remain in the US . After talks with the Cuban government , the Clinton administration came to an agreement with Cuba that it would stop admitting people intercepted in U.S. waters . For several decades thereafter , in what became known as the `` Wet foot , Dry foot '' policy , a Cuban caught on the waters between the two nations ( with `` wet feet '' ) would summarily be sent home or to a third country . One who makes it to shore ( `` dry feet '' ) gets a chance to remain in the United States , and later would qualify for expedited `` legal permanent resident '' status in accordance with the 1966 Act and eventually U.S. citizenship .

Empedocles established four ultimate elements which make all the structures in the world -- fire , air , water , earth -- in other words , the several states of matter are represented , being energies , gasses , liquids , and solids . Empedocles called these four elements `` roots '' , which he also identified with the mythical names of Zeus , Hera , Nestis , and Aidoneus ( e.g. , `` Now hear the fourfold roots of everything : enlivening Hera , Hades , shining Zeus . And Nestis , moistening mortal springs with tears . '' ) Empedocles never used the term `` element '' ( Greek : στοιχεῖον , stoicheion ) , which seems to have been first used by Plato . According to the different proportions in which these four indestructible and unchangeable elements are combined with each other the difference of the structure is produced . It is in the aggregation and segregation of elements thus arising , that Empedocles , like the atomists , found the real process which corresponds to what is popularly termed growth , increase or decrease . Nothing new comes or can come into being ; the only change that can occur is a change in the juxtaposition of element with element . This theory of the four elements became the standard dogma for the next two thousand years . | who said matter was made of fire earth air and water | Empedocles |
