Set in May of the year 1944, it tells the story of a group of war pigeons during World War II. Reviews of Valiant were mixed. The movie is based on a story by Jordan Katz, George Webster and George Melrod, and inspired by true stories of hundreds of pigeons that helped the soldiers in the war. Plot. n May 1944, five years since the declaration of World War II, three Royal Homing Pigeon Service war pigeons are flying across the English Channel with the White Cliffs of Dover in sight, carrying vital messages to Great Britain. Despite the poor weather conditions, the pigeons have nearly reached their destination; however, they are suddenly ambushed and attacked by a German enemy falcon called General Von Talon, two of the pigeons are instantly killed, yet the third is taken as a prisoner of war. Elsewhere a small wood pigeon named Valiant is watching an Allied forces propaganda film in his local bar (an overturned rowing boat) in West Nestington. Wing Commander Gutsy, a war hero, flies into the bar, informing everyone that signups are scheduled the next day in Trafalgar Square, London. In General Von Talon's lair Mercury, the captured prisoner of war, resists interrogation by his captors. Valiant flies off to London, bidding his mother and Felix, the local barman, goodbye. In London, Valiant meets a filthy pigeon named Bugsy, who is wanted by two thugs. To escape the wrath of the thugs, he signs up with Valiant. The recruits, Valiant, Bugsy, Lofty, an intellectual red pigeon, and Toughwood and Tailfeather, two strong but dim-witted twin brothers, form Royal Homing Pigeon Service Squad F and are sent to a recruit training facility. Under Sergeant's command,

"Everybody Knows" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen and collaborator Sharon Robinson. It has often been covered and used in soundtracks. "Everybody Knows" was first released on Cohen's album "I'm Your Man", February 1988. The lyrics include references to AIDS, social problems, and relationship and religious issues. A cover of the song by Sigrid plays during the opening credits of "Justice League".
Popular Problems is the thirteenth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen. It was released on September 19, 2014 in Friday-release countries (such as France and Ireland) and on September 22, 2014 elsewhere. Most of the songs were new, though Cohen did debut "Born in Chains" onstage in 2010 and "My Oh My" was played during a soundcheck the same year. Upon its release the album received uniformly positive reviews from critics. "The New York Times" gave a moderately positive review, calling Cohen "one of rock’s most profound aphorists". The album peaked at number one on the Canadian Albums Chart, selling 20,000 copies in its first week.
"You Want It Darker" is a single by Canadian poet and musician Leonard Cohen. It was released on October 21, 2016, three weeks before Cohen's death. The song is the title track from Cohen's album "You Want It Darker".  It earned Cohen a Grammy Award for Best Rock Performance.
Various Positions is the seventh studio album by Leonard Cohen, It was released in December 1984 (and February 1985). It marked not only his turn to the modern sound, but also, after the harmonies and backing vocals from Jennifer Warnes on the previous "Recent Songs" (1979). The album included Cohen's best known work "Hallelujah".  "Various Positions" made the top ten in Spain, Portugal, and Scandinavia, and fared modestly well in the United Kingdom. In the original 1985 "Rolling Stone" review, Don Shewey complimented Lissauer's "lucid and beautiful production".
"I'm Your Man" is a song written by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, first released on the album of the same name. Originally released as a single in 1988, it reached number 57 in the French charts after Cohen's death in 2016. "Everybody Knows" was first released on Cohen's album "I'm Your Man", February 1988. Rolling Stone said, "Set to a cheesy drum-machine beat and sotto voce horn riffs, with more than a little suggestion of a country ballad, Cohen conversationally throws himself at the feet of a woman he's done wrong. He'd never beg for her forgiveness, of course. But if he did: 'I'd crawl to you baby and I'd fall at your feet/And I'd howl at your beauty like a dog in heat...'"
I'm Your Man is the eighth studio album by Leonard Cohen, released in 1988. The album marked Cohen's further move to a more modern sound. "I'm Your Man" was recorded in Los Angeles and Montreal and employed four producers: Roscoe Beck, Jean-Michel Reusser, Michel Robidoux, and Cohen himself. The album includes some of the singer's most popular songs and concert staples, including the single "Ain't No Cure for Love", "First We Take Manhattan", "Tower of Song", and "Everybody Knows", which was a collaboration with Cohen's backup singer Sharon Robinson.
"First We Take Manhattan" is a song written by Leonard Cohen. It was originally recorded by Jennifer Warnes on her 1986 Cohen tribute album "Famous Blue Raincoat", which consisted entirely of songs written or co-written by Cohen. Ben Hewitt writing for "The Guardian" in 2015 drew attention to the lyric's apocalyptic nature, imagining Cohen "greedily eyeing world domination like a Bond villain". Joe Cocker covered "First We Take Manhattan" on his 1999 album "No Ordinary World". An explanation. Cohen explained himself in a backstage interview: "I think it means exactly what it says. It is a terrorist song. I think it's a response to terrorism. There's something about terrorism that I've always admired. The fact that there are no alibis or no compromises. That position is always very attractive. I don't like it when it's manifested on the physical plane – I don't really enjoy the terrorist activities – but Psychic Terrorism. I remember there was a great poem by Irving Layton that I once read, I'll give you a paraphrase of it. It was 'well, you guys blow up an occasional airline and kill a few children here and there', he says. 'But our terrorists, Jesus, Freud, Marx, Einstein. The whole world is still quaking.'"
The Future is the ninth studio album by Canadian singer-songwriter Leonard Cohen, released in 1992. Political events and history are found elsewhere on the album, with Cohen making references to Tiananmen Square, Stalin, World War II and Hiroshima.

The poem was first published in Lorca's seminal book "Poeta en Nueva York".  The song reached number one in Spain in 1986.
Pan-Africanism is a political movement about improving the position of Africa, and people with ancestors from Africa in the world. In essence, Pan-Africanism is the belief that people of African descent have common interests and should be unified. Pan-Africanists believe the slave trade and colonialism have hurt African nations and people, and the solution that they see is for Africans to unite politically. References. 4.

An hexadecagon or hexakaidecagon is a shape with 16 sides and 16 corners. Regular hexadecagon. A "regular hexadecagon" is a hexadecagon in which all angles are equal and all sides are congruent. Its Schläfli symbol is {16} and can be constructed as a truncated octagon, t{8}, and a twice-truncated square tt{4}. A truncated hexadecagon, t{16}, is a triacontadigon, {32}. Area. The area of a regular hexadecagon with edge length "t" is formula_1 Because the hexadecagon has a number of sides that is a power of two, its area can be computed in terms of the circumradius "R" by truncating Viète's formula: formula_2 Since the area of the circumcircle is formula_3 the regular hexadecagon fills approximately 97.45% of its circumcircle. Dissection. Coxeter states that every parallel-sided 2"m"-gon can be divided into m(m-1)/2 rhombs. For the "regular hexadecagon", "m"=8, and it can be divided into 28: 4 squares and 3 sets of 8 rhombs. This decomposition is based on a Petrie polygon projection of a 8-cube, with 28 of 1792 faces. The list A006245 enumerates the number of solutions as 1232944, including up to 16-fold rotations and chiral forms in reflection. Skew hexadecagon. A skew hexadecagon is a skew polygon with 24 vertices and edges but not existing on the same plane. The interior of such an hexadecagon is not generally defined. A "skew zig-zag hexadecagon" has vertices alternating between two parallel planes. A regular skew hexadecagon is vertex-transitive with equal edge lengths. In 3-dimensions it will be a zig-zag skew hexadecagon and can be seen in the vertices and side edges of a octagonal antiprism with the same
In geometry, a parallelepiped is a three-dimensional figure formed by six parallelograms (the term rhomboid is also sometimes used with this meaning). By analogy, it relates to a parallelogram just as a cube relates to a square or as a cuboid to a rectangle. In Euclidean geometry, its definition encompasses all four concepts (i.e., "parallelepiped", "parallelogram", "cube", and "square"). In this context of affine geometry, in which angles are not differentiated, its definition admits only "parallelograms" and "parallelepipeds". Three equivalent definitions of "parallelepiped" are The rectangular cuboid (six rectangular faces), cube (six square faces), and the rhombohedron (six rhombus faces) are all specific cases of parallelepiped. Properties. Any of the three pairs of parallel faces can be viewed as the base planes of the prism. A parallelepiped has three sets of four parallel edges; the edges within each set are of equal length. Parallelepipeds result from linear transformations of a cube (for the non-degenerate cases: the bijective linear transformations). Since each face has point symmetry, a parallelepiped is a zonohedron. Also the whole parallelepiped has point symmetry "Ci" (see also triclinic). Each face is, seen from the outside, the mirror image of the opposite face. The faces are in general chiral, but the parallelepiped is not. A space-filling tessellation is possible with congruent copies of any parallelepiped. Volume. The volume of a parallelepiped is the product of the area of its base "A" and its height "h". The base is any of the six faces of the parallelepiped. The height is the perpendicular distance between the base and the opposite face. An alternative method defines the vectors a = ("a"1, "a"2, "a"3), b = ("b"1, "b"2, "b"3) and c = ("c"1, "c"2, "c"3) to represent three edges that meet at one vertex
In geometry, a pentacontagon or pentecontagon or 50-gon is a fifty-sided polygon. The sum of any pentacontagon's interior angles is 8640 degrees. Regular pentacontagon. A "regular pentacontagon" is represented by Schläfli symbol {50} and can be constructed as a quasiregular truncated icosipentagon, t{25}, which alternates two types of edges. Area. One interior angle in a regular pentacontagon is 172°, meaning that one exterior angle would be 7°. The area of a regular pentacontagon is (with ) formula_1 and its inradius is formula_2 The circumradius of a regular pentacontagon is formula_3 Since 50 = 2 × 52, a regular pentacontagon is not constructible using a compass and straightedge, and is not constructible even if the use of an angle trisector is allowed. Dissection. Coxeter states that every zonogon (a 2"m"-gon whose opposite sides are parallel and of equal length) can be dissected into "m"("m"-1)/2 parallelograms. In particular this is true for regular polygons with evenly many sides, in which case the parallelograms are all rhombi. For the "regular pentacontagon", "m"=25, it can be divided into 300: 12 sets of 25 rhombs. This decomposition is based on a Petrie polygon projection of a 25-cube.
A hexacontagon or 60-gon is a shape with 60 sides and 60 corners. Regular hexacontagon. A "regular hexacontagon" is represented by Schläfli symbol {60} and also can be constructed as a truncated triacontagon, t{30}, or a twice-truncated pentadecagon, tt{15}. A truncated hexacontagon, t{60}, is a 120-gon, {120}. One interior angle in a regular hexacontagon is 174°, meaning that one exterior angle would be 6°. Area. The area of a regular hexacontagon is (with ) formula_1 and its inradius is formula_2 The circumradius of a regular hexacontagon is formula_3 This means that the trigonometric functions of π/60 can be expressed in radicals. Constructible. Since 60 = 22 × 3 × 5, a regular hexacontagon is constructible using a compass and straightedge. As a truncated triacontagon, it can be constructed by an edge-bisection of a regular triacontagon. Dissection. Coxeter states that every zonogon (a 2"m"-gon whose opposite sides are parallel and of equal length) can be dissected into "m"("m"-1)/2 parallelograms. In particular this is true for regular polygons with evenly many sides, in which case the parallelograms are all rhombi. For the "regular hexacontagon", "m"=30, and it can be divided into 435: 15 squares and 14 sets of 30 rhombs. This decomposition is based on a Petrie polygon projection of a 30-cube.

The Government of India Act 1858 was an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom (21 &amp; 22 Vict. c. 106) passed on August 2, 1858. Its provisions called for the liquidation of the British East India Company (who had up to this point been ruling British India under the auspices of Parliament) and the transference of its functions to the British Crown. The Act ushered in a new period of Indian history, bringing about the end of Company rule in India. The era of the new British Raj would last until Partition of British India in August 1947, at which time all of the territory of the British Raj was granted Dominion status within the Dominion of Pakistan and the Dominion of India.
The Indian Independence Act 1947 (1947 c. 30 (10 &amp; 11. Geo. 6.)) is an Act of the Parliament of the United Kingdom that partitioned British India into the two new Independent Dominions of India and Pakistan. The Act received the royal assent on 18 July 1947, and Pakistan came into being on 14 August and India came into being on 15 August. Partition of Empire. There was much violence, and many Muslims from what would become India fled to Pakistan; and Hindus and Sikhs from what would become Pakistan fled to India. Many people left behind all their possessions and property to avoid the violence and flee to their new country. Repeal. The Indian Independence Act was subsequently repealed in Article 395 of the Constitution of India and in Article 221 of the Constitution of Pakistan of 1956, both constitutions being intended to bring about greater independence for the new states. Although the new constitutions did not have the legal authority to repeal the Act, the repeal was intended to establish them as independent legal systems based only on home-grown legislation. The Act has not been repealed in the United Kingdom, where it still has effect, although some sections of it have been repealed.
