British Mandate of Palestine

The British Mandate of Palestine was a mandate of the United Kingdom in Palestine and Jordan. It began after the fall of the Ottoman Empire in World War I. It started from 1 July 1920, and operated until 1948. Britain had defeated the Ottoman forces in 1917, and occupied the territory. The mandate was approved by the League of Nations in June 1922, and went into effect on 11 September 1922. 

The land west of the Jordan River, known as Palestine, was under direct British control until 1948. The land east of the Jordan River was known as Transjordan, and was governed by the Hashemite family. Transjordan gained independence in 1946. The mandate in Palestine ended at midnight on 14 May 1948. On the next day, the Arab-Israeli war began. Israel declared independence, the West Bank was annexed by Jordan, and Egypt took control of the Gaza Strip.

 note: "Population of Palestine before 1948" does not differentiate between the Bedouin who were natives, and other Muslims (such as c.100.000 refugees of the Hejaz Wars who entered the area in the beginning of the 20th century), and is therefore misleading as regards this item.

Coriaria myrtifolia

Coriaria myrtifolia, called in English redoul,  is a plant with poisonus fruits and whose leaves were traditionally used as raw material in tanning (making leather out of skins).

Name 
The Spanish name emborrachacabras (that is, getting goats drunk) refers to the leaves' effect on goats that eat them. The French name (redoul) and Catalan name (roldor) come from Latin Rhus tyrius (Syrian or Tyrian sumac), referring to the leaves use in the traditional tannery industry, to make "Basil" leather.The honeydew from redoul is also toxic

Description 
C. myrtifolia is a shrub to 2–3 m tall without hairs and with shiny leaves like the leaves of the myrtle (myrtifolia means "leaves like the leaves of the myrtle"). It produces small greenish flowers in spring (April to June) in racemes (a kind of inflorescence).

It produces fruits in early summer. The fruits look like berries but they are small nuts (achenes) protected by enlarged and colored petals; it is the same of all the species of the genus Coriaria. Fruits cannot be eaten because their seeds are very poisonous.

The plants of redoul can fix nitrogen from the air because they have bacteria in their roots.

Where it grows 
C. myrtifolia is found only around the western Mediterranean Sea, not too far from the coast but near rivers:
 Southern Portugal.
 Spain, along the Mediterrean coast and mainly in Catalonia. In the Balearic Islands, it appears only in Ibiza.
 Southern France
 Italy, in the region near to France.
 Morocco
 Algeria

Wedding March

"Wedding March" (1842) is a piece of music for orchestra. Felix Mendelssohn wrote it in C major. It is one of the pieces he wrote for a  performance of Shakespeare's play A Midsummer Night's Dream. At weddings, somebody usually plays it on a pipe organ when the bride and groom leave the church. 

The march became popular for weddings when Victoria, The Princess Royal, married Prince Frederick William of Prussia on 25 January 1858 and chose the piece.  The bride was the daughter of Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria loved Mendelssohn's music. 

Sometimes people call the "Bridal Chorus" from Richard Wagner's opera Lohengrin the Wedding March. This music usually plays when the bride goes into the church.

Patria disaster

The SS Patria was an passenger ship that sank in the Mediterranean Sea on 25 November 1940. It was sailing from the port of Haifa. It was carrying about 1,800 Jewish refugees from Europe during World War II. The British government were deporting them from Palestine to Mauritius because they did not have visas. Zionist organisations opposed the deportation, and the paramilitary group Haganah planted a bomb in the ship to stop it from leaving Haifa. However, the Haganah miscalculated the size of the explosion: it killed 260 people and injured 172. The rest of the passengers were rescued by British and Arab boats that rushed to save them.

The British allowed the survivors to remain in Palestine on humanitarian grounds. 221 passengers were buried in the Carmel Beach cemetery in Haifa.

PBR&B

PBR&B (also called R-neg-B Hipster R&B or Alternative R&B) is a musical genre which stylistic origins are derived from  R&B, alternative hip hop, hip hop soul, rock and sometimes electronic dance music. It emerged in the late 2000s and did not have an official name to it, so people called it alternative R&B until 2011 when the term PBR&B (an abbreviation of Pabst Blue Ribbon) came on Twitter. Music journalist Eric Harvey coined the term PBR&B in a one-off tweet about the Weeknd, How to Dress Well, and Frank Ocean.  Other notable artists include Miguel and Drake.
