Song of the South

***Song of the South*** is a movie produced by Walt Disney. It was released on November 12, 1946, by RKO Radio Pictures. _Song of the South_ was re-issued to theaters in 1956, 1972, 1980 and 1986. It is based on the Uncle Remus stories written by Joel Chandler Harris.

_Song of the South_ has never been fully released on home video in the USA because of content which some people could see as racism towards black people and is thus subject to rumors. However, a song from the movie, Zip a Dee Doo Dah, is very popular and there is a ride based on the movie at various Disney theme parks, though it was recently announced that it will be changed to a ride based on The Princess and the Frog as a result of the George Floyd protests. The movie only got a home video release internationally. This makes Song of the South the only Disney movie to not be released on North American home video.

Snake River Plain

The **Snake River Plain** is a valley in the U.S. state of Idaho. It covers most of the southern part of the state and is transected by the Snake River. The Snake River Plain was formed by magma rising up below the North American Plate. As the plate moved westward, the magma melted rock under the plate. This melting caused the surface to drop and form the Snake River Plain. Underneath the plain is the Snake River Aquifer. The aquifer is fed by the Snake River and its tributaries. Much of the soil in the Snake River Plain is fertile. As a result, today the primary human purpose of the plain is for agriculture.
North American plate

The **North American plate** is a large tectonic plate. It covers most of North America. Also it includes Greenland, Cuba, the Bahamas, extreme northeastern Asia, and parts of Iceland and the Azores. Its area is . It is the Earth's second largest tectonic plate, behind the Pacific Plate (which borders the plate to the west).

It extends east to the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and west to the Chersky Range in eastern Siberia.  The plate includes both continental and oceanic crust.  The interior of the landmass is an extensive granitic craton.  Along most of the edges of this craton are fragments of crustal material called terranes. They are stuck on (accreted) to the craton over a long span of time. Much of North America west of the Rocky Mountains is composed of such terranes.

Wijerd Jelckama

**Wijerd Jelckama** (1490 – July 7 1523) was a Frisian freedom fighter, legendary warrior, warlord, rebel and pirate.

## Early life and family

Jelckama was born in the year 1490 in a large family of farmers and petty noblemen. He was descended from knights who had participated in the Crusades. One of his ancestors from his father's side of the family had died at the Siege of Antioch.

Jelckama married a woman named Fokel in an unknown year. She survived for longer than her husband, but died in 1553.

Before Jelckama's death in 1523, he and Fokel had two daughters and a son. Their son was named Janco Douwes Jelckama (1514-1587). Their daughters were Bonga (1516-1575) and Fokel (1517-1546).

Historians have identified Jelckama's grandchildren and great-grandchildren. A great-granddaughter who died in 1625 probably ended Jelckama's official bloodline.

## Rebellion

Together with Pier Gerlofs Donia, Jelckama fought against the Saxon warriors that occupied their homeland of Frisia. He battled the Saxons at the capture of Medemblik and in the siege of Middelburg Castle.

Jelckama served as Donia's lieutenant for five years. After Donia died in 1520, Jelckama took command of the armies. He had been the commanded the Arumer Black Heap and led the Frisian rebellion against the House of Habsburg since as early as 1519.

## Strength

Author Wopke Eekhoff compared Jelckama to his own uncle, who was at least 7 feet tall and once lifted a 1000-pound horse above his head. Jelckama was 7 feet tall and was reportedly strong enough to lift a horse high over his shoulders.

## Death

After a series of defeats, Jelckama and what was left of the Frisian army were captured in 1523 and taken to the city of Leeuwarden in Frisia. There they were executed in public. It took the executioner four blows to sever Jelckama's head from his extremely thick neck.

With the death of Jelckama and the rebels, the independence of Frisia came to an end. It was the last successful revolt in Frisian history and is remembered as such to this day.

Chronic stress

**Chronic stress** is stress that happens over a long period of time.  It is different than acute stress, which happens over a short period of time and then goes away.

Stress is a normal part of every living thing's daily life.  However, when stress becomes chronic, it can damage the body and the mind.  When a person (or animal) is stressed, the body reacts in certain ways - for example, by releasing chemicals called corticosteroids.  If this happens again and again, over a long period of time, it can change the way the brain works. These changes can damage working memory spatial memory, and decision-making skills. They can also increase aggression.

Chronic stress can cause (or worsen) many different medical problems.  For example, people who have had chronic stress are more likely to get hypertension (high blood pressure) and heart disease.

The conservative party was also known as _regressist_, being a counterpart to the Liberal Party, whose leader was Padre Feijó.

Around 6,500 UK stores help with sales data, as well as most UK online digital download stores. Unlike in the U.S., no airplay statistics are used for the official UK Singles Chart. The chart week runs starts on Friday and goes to Thursday. Most UK singles are released on Fridays.

Impersonator

An **impersonator** is someone who imitates or copies the behavior or actions of another.  There are many reasons for someone to be an impersonator, some common ones being as follows:

- Legally: An entertainer impersonates a celebrity, generally for entertainment, and makes fun of their recent scandals or known behavior patterns. Entertainers who impersonate multiple celebrities as part of their act, can be sorted out to impressionists and celebrity impersonators.
- Illegally: As part of a criminal act such as identity theft. This is usually where the criminal is trying to assume the identity of another, in order to commit fraud, such as accessing confidential information, or to gain property not belonging to them. Also known as social engineering and impostors.
- Political decoy, used as a form of protection for political and military figures. This involves an impersonator who is employed (or forced) to perform during public appearances, to mislead observers. This is also legal.
- Causing people to fight, or dislike each other for social, business or political gain.
