The soap boom spawned a nighttime soap parody, "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman". The parody made a star out of Louise Lasser, who played the eponymous heroine. A rising soap opera toward the decade's end was "Ryan's Hope". It built on the success of the movie "Rocky". Despite "Ryan's Hope" starting earlier, the show's success came a while after the movie's release. The serial was about an Irish-American family running a pub in New York City. Television critics liked its realistic portrayal of an "ethnic" middle-class family in a contemporary setting. The show's matriarch, played by Helen Gallagher, won two Daytime Emmys. "General Hospital", a soap that spent most of the decade with bad ratings, saw a rise in popularity around late 1978 due to its more youthful focus. It would not become a ratings giant until the 1980s.
Daytime television had several game shows. They aired alongside soap operas during the mornings and afternoons. During the early years of the decade, "The Hollywood Squares" (NBC) was the most popular. It won numerous Emmy awards. Hosted by masterly emcee Peter Marshall, nine celebrities in a large tic-tac-toe board respond to questions. Contestants must state whether they "agree" or "disagree" with the answers. If they are correct, their "X"/"O" symbol lights up in the celeb's box. The first to get three in a row or a five-square wins.
"Match Game" (CBS) was the most popular game show from 1973 to 1977. Fun between the panel and "ringmaster" host Gene Rayburn made it popular. At one point, it was the highest-rated daytime TV show in U.S. history. The show launched a spin-off, "Family Feud" (ABC). It was the #1 game show of the late 1970s. Two families squared off in assuming the most common answers to surveys of 100 people across the nation with such questions as, "name a public figure most Americans dislike." The simple idea was the main cause of its success. Other successful game shows during this decade included "The Price Is Right" (still on the air to this day), "Let's Make a Deal", "The $20,000 Pyramid", "The Gong Show", "The Newlywed Game", "Password", "Tattletales", "Tic Tac Dough", "Bowling for Dollars", "Break the Bank" and "The Joker's Wild".
Another influential genre was the television newscast. Each of the three television networks had widely recognizable and respected journalists on their newscasts: CBS anchor Walter Cronkite was voted "The Most Trusted Man in America" many times over. He led in the nightly ratings. NBC's John Chancellor and David Brinkley were a strong second, while ABC was in third place in the news department until the 1990s. It had a newscast with Howard K. Smith.
The success of the 1971 television movie "Duel" signaled the rise of movies produced specifically for television. Some featured a hero or heroine whose life was in jeopardy, while others were pilots for proposed TV series to be picked up by a network. Still others centered on the destructiveness of a certain disease, whether medical or social. "Roots" is a multi-part miniseries that ran on a number of consecutive nights in early 1977. It proved to be a huge hit in the ratings and thus paved the way for others of its kind like "Shogun" and "The Thorn Birds".
Variety shows carried on in the 1970s with "The Carol Burnett Show". With a repertory company that included Vicki Lawrence, Harvey Korman and Lyle Waggoner, the veterans' series ran well into the mid-1970s. NBC aired a variety show of its own, starring African-American comedian Flip Wilson. "The Flip Wilson Show" became a success and became the first show headed by an African-American comedian to become a ratings winner.
In 1971, while Fred Silverman was still working for CBS, he spotted singing duo Sonny & Cher doing a stand-up concert. He decided to turn it into a weekly variety show. In addition to some entertaining stand-up banter between the husband and wife, "The Sonny & Cher Comedy Hour" would also have skits and music (mostly sung by Cher). The show was a ratings winner from the first episode and ran for three years. It was followed shortly after by singing duo Tony Orlando and Dawn.
Many prime-time programs of the 1970s were run by independent producers, often in association with a major Hollywood studio. A particularly successful independent producer at the dawn of the decade was Quinn Martin. Martin produced crime shows such as "The Streets of San Francisco", "Cannon", and "Dan August". The latter show was a one-season cop series, starring Burt Reynolds, that would find greater popularity after its star had hit it big at the cinema. Martin's success faded during the last half of the decade. Norman Lear produced the socially relevant "All in the Family" as well as more innocuous fare such as "One Day at a Time". Jack Webb oversaw "Adam-12" and "Emergency!." Glen A. Larson produced a number of shows in association with Universal TV "("McCloud", "Switch", etc.), "while David Gerber made a name for himself with such fare as Police Woman and Police Story. The latter was a one-hour anthology series with no series regulars. Among 1970s TV producers, was Aaron Spelling. He would go on to be perhaps, according to an article written by Michael Idato for The Sydney Morning Herald, "the most prolific producer in TV history." Like Quinn Martin, Spelling was known for producing crime dramas (S.W.A.T., Starsky & Hutch). Spelling also produced more escapist shows like The Love Boat, Fantasy Island, and Charlie's Angels. There was also Family, a socially relevant hour-long series. It would win a number of Emmys during its four-year run. Spelling's success would continue well into the 1990s.

Poena cullei
Poena cullei, or the penalty of the sack was an ancient Roman form of execution imposed on people convicted of patricide, or the murder of one's parents. It involved being sewn into a sack with vicious animals, most commonly a monkey, snake, and chicken, but others were sometimes used as well. The sack was then thrown into a body of water to sink. In the course of drowning, the animals would attack one another and the human in the bag.
Poena cullei probably varied in frequency of usage. The earliest account of which dates to 100 BCE and by 300 CE it had largely fallen out of favour. The method of execution enjoyed a short resurgence in Germany during the medieval era.

Blowing from a cannon
Blowing from a cannon was a method of execution in which the victim was tied to the mouth of a cannon which was fired immediately after. The method was popular with British colonial authorities in India and used on revolters. This method of capital punishment was favoured by the British as a Hindu belief states that the body must be intact to go into the afterlife. In Africa, the Portuguese colonial authorities also used the method.
The Brazen bull, bronze bull or Sicillian bull, or occasionally Bull of Phalaris was an apparatus, shaped like a bull used to cook people alive. The bull is said to have been invented by Perilaus of Athens to please the tyrant of Sicily, Phalaris, although the inventor was the first it was used on. The bull is said to have had a door to one side, through which the condemned would be shoved and then locked in. A fire would be lit under the bull and the victim was roasted alive as the metal was heated. A special system of pipes in the head of the bull acoustically converted the screams of victims into the sounds of an actual bull. Some scholars and historians question whether the Brazen bull even existed or was simply made up as a form of propaganda.

The "ship" would be far too big to dock at most ports and thus would have smaller dinghy farries to shuttle passengers to and from shore.
A space elevator is a theoretical transportation device for cheaply sending people and cargo into orbit. If one can be built, a space elevator would make it possible to go to outer space without inefficient and often single use rockets, lowering the average cost to launch from the current average of $10,000 to $25,000 per kilogram to as little as $100 per kilo, thus making widespread civilian space travel and colonization economically feasible. The elevator would consist of a cable or tower stretching to a mid or geostationary orbit, with two tethers, one at the surface and the other at a space station. Some kind of climbing vehicle would go up and down it. No known building material is strong enough and with a low enough density to build a space elevator, but a material like carbon nanotubes could be it.
The Shimizu Mega-City Pyramid is a proposed pyramid shaped arcology that would be 2004 metres (2194 yards or 6,575ft ) tall. The geodesic pyramid would have the same proportions as the Great Pyramid of Giza, but unlike the Great Pyramid, would not be enclosed. Instead, each truss in the superstructure would hold a skyscraper.

Aviator glasses are sunglasses or eyeglasses with a double nose bridge and usually teardrop shaped lenses. Aviator glasses were originally made by Bausch and Lomb ( the company that would become Ray-Ban) for pilots in Second World War to protect their eyes while flying at high altitudes, and the glasses resemble pilot's goggles. Aviator glasses are not only made by RayBan, but also Randolph Engineering, American Optical, (the latter made the sunglasses worn by the Apollo program astronauts enroute to the Moon). As clear lens or slightly tinted eyeglasses, aviators were most popular during the 1970s to 1990s. As sunglasses, the style is most associated with police officers.

Battle of Nicosia Airport
Nicosia International Airport () was Cyprus' main airport before the Turkish invasion.It is 5 km as the crow flies west of the Cypriot Presidential Palace. The longest runway is 2.7km. It was very strategically important as a major transport route for the island.
After the coup on 15 July 1974, Turkey using the justification of the power it thought it had via the Treaty of Guarantee to launch an invasion on the 20 July 1974. It began in the early hours of 20 July 1974 with Turkish paratroopers being dropped in the Capital of Nicosia mainly into the Turkish enclave of Kioneli and with an amphibious landing in Kyrenia supported by heavy airstrikes from the Turkish Air Force.
The 32nd Strike Company of the 33rd Commando was ordered to make a perimeter around Nicosia Airport.
Turkish troops were landing on Kyrenia, bombings had begun on the airport by the Turkish Air Force.
In the early morning of 21 July, the airport's runway was again a target of the Turkish Air Force.
After a day of fighting in Cyprus, the Greek junta under Dimitrios Ioannidis' leadership, decided to send the A' Raider Squadron, based in Crete, whose Commander was Major George Papameletiou, to help the Cypriot National Guard against the invasion with the operation being called Niki. At 22:35 pm the 15 Noratlas planes took off from Souda Air Force base. Only 13 of the 15 made it to Nicosia Airport, the other two landed in either Crete or Rhodes. At about 2:00 am, the first aircraft with codenames "Niki 1" and "Niki 2" landed. Due to miscommunication, they came under heavy fire from Cypriot anti-air fire. That downed "Niki 4", killing 32 Commandos.
A ceasefire was signed by both sides and was to take effect on 22 July from 16:00. During the day the Turkish Air Force took what advantage they had before the ceasefire. They bombed the airport destroying parts of the runway. At 16:00 when the ceasefire had taken effect, the 33rd Commando Battalion received intelligence that Turkish Military was preparing a surprise attack and subsequent takeover of the airport. The Commandos took security measures without any reinforcements being sent to them. At about 16:45 after the ceasefire had taken effect, the Turkish Air Force with 6 F-104 and 2 F-100 Super Sabre aircraft had begun bombing the airport again and destroyed a Cyprus Airways Trident.
On the morning of 23 July, more attacks on the airport had begun. Units from the Greek A' Raider Squadron (41st Strike Team) began arriving at the airport (After being placed in barracks elsewhere), armed with a few light machine guns, one 90mm recoilless rifle and one Browning 30mm.
The Commandos saw enemy infantry units getting closer to the airport fence and were ordered to fire warning shots. It became apparent to them that the Turkish Armed Forces were attempting to outflank them.
At 11 am the main battle began with Turkish tanks (Likely M47s) and mortars beginning to fire on Greek positions. As elements of the 3rd Strike Company began arriving at the airport, they came under heavy fire from attacking forces. The cars containing Majors Avramides and Kyriakos were hit. The cars fell into a ditch, and a heavy firefight ensued and eventually broke out of the kill zone. As this was happening, Turkish armored units began moving towards the west of the airport in an attempt to cover the Turkish infantry units coming in from the north and thus creating a form backward "L" Flanking maneuver. Commander Papameletious's car also fell under fire and the car was immobilized a few hundred meters away from the main gates of the airport. Papameletious took fire from both Turkish positions and from UNFICYPs barracks. He was eventually set free with the help of a BTR; By the end 1 Commando had been mortally wounded.
By the afternoon of the 23rd, the attacks were repelled by the defending forces with the Turkish forces making a hasty retreat.
