Peter Dodds McCormick ( – 30 October 1916) was a Scottish-born Australian schoolteacher. He is best known as the composer of the Australian national anthem "Advance Australia Fair".

McCormick was born in Port Glasgow, Scotland. In 1855, he moved to Sydney, New South Wales. He spent most of his life working for the NSW Education Department. He was also part of Scottish Presbyterian Church activities in Sydney. He published around 30 patriotic and Scottish songs, some of which became very popular. "Advance Australia Fair" was first performed in public by Andrew Fairfax at the St Andrew's Day concert of the Highland Society in 1878. The song quickly became popular. It was sung by a choir of 10,000 at the inauguration of the Commonwealth of Australia on 1 January 1901. In 1907, the New South Wales Government awarded McCormick £100 for composing the song.

On 30 October 1916, McCormick died at his home, Clydebank, in the Sydney suburb of Waverley. He was 83.

A floating exchange rate is when the exchange rate between two currencies can change freely. It is also known as flexible exchange rate, or fluctuating exchange rate.  Supply and demand will influence the exchange rate. Today, floating exchange rates between currencies are common. Usually, the market will regulate the exchange rate. In most cases, the central banks of the affected countries will not intervene. They might do something, if the exchange rate rises above a certain threshold, or it falls below a minimal value. 

The opposite is a fixed exchange rate, or pegged exchange rate.

Economics
In a fixed exchange rate, a state authority defines an exchange rate of its own currency, against another currency, a basket of currencies, or some good, such as gold. The central bank of the country will then guarantee this exchange rate; it will buy or sell its currency at this rate.

Owen Benjamin (born Owen Benjamin Smith; May 24, 1980) is an American offensive comedian. He is best known for his hatred of political correctness.  He often discusses racist and antisemitic conspiracy theories.

Early life and education  
Owen Benjamin was born in 1980.  He went to Plattsburgh State college.  He started out as an actor in television in 2006.  In 2008, Benjamin played a supporting character in the ʽmovieʼ The House Bunny. In 2009, he starred in the movie All's Faire in Love, co-starring Christina Ricci. In 2012, Benjamin started playing the protagonist’s best friend in the sitcom Sullivan and Son.

Comedy 
Benjamin modeled his comedy after that of Adam Sandler and Vince Vaughn. He says the most offensive things he can think of about everyone because he wants to show that no one gets to tell him what he can or cannot say.

Politics 
Owen Benjamin says that the transgender movement is just a modern day version of eugenics and that radio host Jesse Thorn is a child molester because he transitioned his kid.  Benjamin says he wants to bring back slavery to enslave Shaun King. Benjamin is a creationist and does not believe that dinosaurs ever existed.  He also says that HIV doesn't really exist.

Views on race 
Owen Benjamin has said that Hitler did not really hate the Jews but was trying to "clean Germany up" to get rid of the "parasites".  Benjamin says that Jews control the media, Hollywood and pornography and that no one but the Jews wants any of them. Benjamin also said that no gas chambers were ever used during the Holocaust and that if the Jews end up with power they will destroy civilization. Benjamin also supports Peter Brimelow. 

Benjamin also made up lines from the Talmud that it didn't actually say to prove that Jews are evil.  Benjamin also makes fun of people who do not like Holocaust denial.

Alternative right

In a video attacking Ben Shapiro for criticizing Nick Fuentes and people on the Alt-right who support conspiracy theories, Owen Benjamin describes himself as on the Alt-right by saying “Do you know anyone else on the Alt-right who sings about moon landing conspiracies” and that “what Ben Shapiro doesn’t understand is that all that it means when we say we’re Alt-right is that we’re an alternative to the mainstream right!”.

Personal life 
In 2008, Owen Benjamin got engaged to Christina Ricci but later called off their marriage.  He eventually married someone else and had two kids.

The Virgin on the Rocks is a painting by Leonardo da Vinci. It was very controversial and had two versions. The painting showed Mary, John the Baptist, Jesus, and an angel. Mary was holding John the Baptist while Jesus blessed them. This painting was quite controversial because Mary wasn't remotely touching Jesus at all, so Da Vinci made a second version of the painting. Mary looks very graceful, which was a traditional Renaissance fashion. The French version was the first time that a Renaissance artist did not paint the Virgin Mary with a halo.

Peronism or justicialism is an Argentine political movement based on the ideas and legacy of Argentine president Juan Perón (1895–1974). It has been an influential movement in Argentine politics. Since 1946 Peronists have won 10 out of the 13 presidential elections in which they have been allowed to run. The main Peronist party is the Justicialist Party. The ideas of each president were different, but the general ideology has been described as "a vague blend of nationalism and labourism" or populism.

Juan Perón became Argentina's minister of labour after participating in the 1943 military coup and was elected president of Argentina in 1946. He introduced social programs that benefited the working class, supported labor unions, and called for additional involvement of the state in the economy. In addition he helped industrialists. Perón was very popular and gained even more admiration through his wife, Eva, who championed for the rights of migrant workers and was loved by the people. Due to rising inflation and other economic problems, the military overthrew Perón in 1955. The Peronist party was banned and it wasn't until 1973 that open elections were held again. In the 1973 election, Perón was again elected president. He died the next year and his widow, Isabel, took his place as president. Perón's death had led to disunity and the military overthrew Isabel in 1976.

Peronist Carlos Menem was president from 1989 to1999. His policies were very different from previous Peronists, he focused on privatization, free-market policies, and international relations. Peronist Néstor Kirchner was president from 2003 to 2007, and his wife Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was president from 2007 to 2015. According to the Economist, the Kirchners returned to "economic nationalism and near-autarky". The ideology of the Kirchners is known as Kirchnerism.

A yellow-dog contract (a yellow-dog clause of a contract, or an ironclad oath) is an agreement between an employer and an employee. The employee agrees not to be a part of a trade union. This was part of a contract which employers and employees signed when employees were hired. In the United States, yellow-dog contracts or yellow-dog clauses were often used by employers to stop the creation of unions. It let employers take legal action against union organizers.  In 1932, yellow-dog contracts were made illegal in the United States under the Norris-LaGuardia Act.

The term yellow-dog clause can also have another meaning: non-compete clauses inside of or added to a non-disclosure agreement to stop an employee from working for other employers in the same industry.

Center-right politics are a set of opinions about politics that usually but not always agree with right-wing politics and when it doesn't is still normally more right-wing than people who support left-wing politics are.  Right-centrists can be libertarians, Rockefeller Republicans, Red Tories or conservatives who are pro-life but are left-wing on money, though with the last one people described as right-centrists tend to be the other way around.

The Most Mysterious Song on the Internet is an ongoing internet search. It involves many internet users from around the world trying to find out the artist and the title of a new wave song that played on a German radio station in 1984 .

Background
A Rolling Stone article in September 2019 says that a man named "Darius S." recorded the song from a radio program called Musik für junge Leute ("Music for Young People") he listened to on the German public radio station NDR, probably in 1984. 

Darius says he recorded the song on a tape labeled "cassette 4", along with songs from XTC and The Cure that were released in around 1984. Further evidence shows that the Technics tape deck that he used to record the song on was also made in 1984.

In 2007, Darius' sister, posting under the fake name "Anton," posted the song on the internet to try to find out the artist and the title of the song. The woman, who identified herself as "Lydia H.", posted part of the song to a German fan website devoted to eighties synth-pop and to spiritofradio.ca, a Canadian website that helps to identify songs uploaded by fans.

Viral internet phenomenon

The mystery of the unidentified song became very popular in 2019 when a Brazilian teenager named Gabriel da Silva Vieira started to look for evidence of its origin. He uploaded a clip of the song to YouTube, and to several Reddit groups.

On July 9, 2019, YouTuber Justin Whang released an episode of his video series Tales from the Internet. The episode talks about the progress of the search up to then. When the video was released, more internet users have tried to help to identify the song. 

After the video came out, some progress was made. The whole song was found and posted by a Reddit user in July 2019. Furthermore, people who might have known the song were contacted. This includes people such as Paul Baskerville, who was the DJ of the show from which the song was likely recorded. He has said he does not remember the song. The Discord community of the search has also found other undocumented and/or obscure media of various genres.

In 1831 the Cherokee took the state of Georgia to the Supreme Court, to resist the Indian Removal Act.

Ritual purification is the ritual prescribed by a religion by which a person is considered to be free of uncleanliness. Many religgions require that those worshipping should be in this state.Ritual purity is a state of ritual cleanliness. Ritual purification may also apply to objects and places. Ritual uncleanliness is not identical with ordinary physical impurity, such as dirt stains; nevertheless, body fluids are generally considered ritually unclean.

Most of these rituals existed long before the germ theory of disease, and figure prominently from the earliest known religious systems of the Ancient Near East. Some writers connect the rituals to taboos.

Some have seen benefits of these practices for health and preventing infections especially in areas where humans come in close contact with each other.  While these practices came before the idea of the germ theory was public in areas that use daily cleaning, the destruction of infectious agents seems to be dramatic. Others have described a 'dimension of purity' that is universal in religions that seeks to move us away from disgust, (at one extreme) and to uplift us towards purity and divinity (at the other extreme). Away from uncleanliness to purity, and away from deviant to moral behavior, (within one's cultural context).

Monolatry (Greek: μόνος [monos] = single, and λατρεία [latreia] = worship) is belief that many gods exist, but that only one of them is worshipped. The term "monolatry" was perhaps first used by Julius Wellhausen.

Monolatry is different from monotheism, which asserts there is only one god, and henotheism, a religious system in which the believer worships one god without denying that others may worship different gods with equal validity.

Kino (, ) was a Soviet rock band formed in Leningrad in 1982.
The band was co-founded and headed by Viktor Tsoi, who wrote the music and lyrics for almost all of the band's songs. Kino released over 90 songs, several studio albums, and a few live albums. Their music was widely recorded illegally. After the Soviet Union became more open, Kino became popular around the world. In 1989, they had a small concert in New York City. They also became very popular in Russia. Their album Gruppa Krovi was called one of the best works of Russian music. Viktor Tsoi died in a car accident in 1990. After releasing an album of the songs they were working on before Tsoi's death, Kino broke up. In 2012, on Tsoi's fiftieth birthday, the band reunited to record a song called 'Ataman'. This song would have been in their last album, but the only recording of it that they had was bad.

The West Coast Pop Art Experimental Band (The WCPAEB) was an American psychedelic rock band formed in Los Angeles, California in 1965 and active until 1970. The original lineup included Bob Markley, Michael Lloyd, John Ware, and brothers Shaun and Danny Harris. The group recorded five studio albums, including one under the name, Markley, A Group. Their style has been described as one of the “ more offbeat acts to emerge during the psychedelic era”.

In Los Angeles, during the group’s early years, they were known for their elaborate psychedelic light shows which accompanied their live performances. The WCPAEB first recorded on the small FiFo record label the album Volume One in 1966. They recorded three albums on the larger Reprise label between 1967 and 1968. A Child’s Guide to Good and Evil is generally considered their best work, but the band’s commercial success was limited. After 1967, the WCPAEB was strictly a studio band. Two albums, Where’s My Daddy? and Markley, A Group, were released on independent record labels before the group broke up in 1970.
