Blue Danube Waltz

On the Beautiful Blue Danube, Op. 314 is a waltz composed by Johann Strauss II in 1867 for the Vienna Men's Singing Society. It was written for four-part choir with orchestra or piano. The words were written by Josef Weyl. It was first performed on 15 February 1867 by the Vienna Men's Singing Society and the orchestra of the Forty-Second Infantry Regiment directed by Rudolph Weinwurm. It was performed without voices on March 4 and again on March 10 in the same format at a benefit for Strauss's brothers. It was a sensation when performed at the Paris Exposition the same year. This performance marked the beginning of Strauss's international reputation. The waltz was published in 1867 by Carl Anton Spina.
The piece begins with a slow introduction in the dominant key of A major. This introduction is followed by five small waltzes of two sections each. Melodies with large leaps are contrasted with linear melodies composed within a narrow range. The coda touches on the various melodies and concludes with a lively finish. The waltz was first played in the United States in its instrumental version on 1 July 1867 in New York. It was first played in Great Britain on 21 September 1867 in London at the promenade concerts in Covent Garden. The instrumental version is usually performed today. On New Year's Eve in Vienna, the waltz is broadcast on television and radio stations at midnight. It is an encore piece at the Vienna New Year's Day Concert.

Lonnie Brooks

Lonnie Brooks (born Lee Baker Jr., December 18, 1933 - April 1, 2017) was an American blues singer and guitarist.
Influence
The Rolling Stone said that "His music is witty, soulful and ferociously energetic, brimming with novel harmonic turnarounds, committed vocals and simply astonishing guitar work." New York Times, wrote, "He sings in a rowdy baritone, sliding and rasping in songs that celebrate lust, fulfilled and unfulfilled; his guitar solos are pointed and unhurried, with a tone that slices cleanly across the beat. Wearing a cowboy hat, he looks like the embodiment of a good-time bluesman."
Death
Brooks died in Chicago, Illinois on April 1, 2017 from a short-illness, aged 83.

Bellows camera

A bellows camera is a type of camera designed in the era of the daguerreotype ( years 1840-1850 ) and, with many improvements, still in use today. It comprises a flexible bellows that forms a light-tight seal between two adjustable frames, the frontal one with the lens, and the other on the back of the camera with the ground-glass screen that will be replaced by the photographic film holder to take de photo.
The bellows is flexible, with an accordion fold. It covers the space between the lens and the film, and flexes to accommodate frame movements. The front frame is a plate at the front of the camera that holds the lens and usually a shutter.
On the back side of the camera, there is a ground-glass screen, used to focus and compose the image before exposure, and is replaced by holder with the sensitive film, a photographic plate or a digital image sensor, to take the shot. The front and rear frames can be moved in various ways relative to each other, unlike most other types of cameras. This allows to control the focus, depth of field and perspective . The camera is normally used with a tripod or a similar type of support.
Bellows
In photography, the bellows is a foldable part that is used in large and medium format photographic cameras, to allow the movement of the lenses with respect to the focal plane for a suitable focus, used in certain camera models such as the one in the picture..
There are two types of bellows:
Bag bellows, usually used in cameras with lenses of short focal length
Square bellows, for cameras with a lens of greater focal length

American badger

The American badger (Taxidea taxus) is an animal usually found in the Great Plains area of North America.
It looks similar to the European badger, but it is not closely related to them. It is found in the western, central, and eastern United States, northern Mexico, and south-central Canada.
The American badger's habitat lives in open grasslands eating prey (such as mice, squirrels, and groundhogs). The badger likes areas such as prairies with sandy loam soils where it can dig easily for its prey. They are found in many places from high alpine meadows to sea level.
American badgers are excellent diggers, and can tunnel rapidly through the soil using their powerful forelimbs.
Badgers are carnivorous. Unlike many carnivores that stalk their prey in open country, badgers catch most of their food by digging. They can tunnel after ground-dwelling rodents with amazing speed.

Dominion of Pakistan

The Dominion of Pakistan was an independent federal dominion in the British Commonwealth of Nations within the British Empire that was created in 1947 in the partition of British India into two sovereign dominions (the other being the Union of India). The Dominion of Pakistan was under the autonomy of the British Empire and existed as an autonomous region of the Commonwealth. It existed between 14 August 1947 and 23 March 1956 when the dominion was dissolved and Pakistan officially gained full independence from the British Empire and became an independent republic.
The dominion included modern-day Pakistan (called West Pakistan) and Bangladesh (East Pakistan). It was supposed to be a homeland for the Muslims of the Indian sub-continent and of the former British India. It became the Islamic Republic of Pakistan in 1956. The eastern part of the country became independent as the People's Republic of Bangladesh in 1971.

Grill (cooking)

A grill is an object used for cooking food. With a grill, food is usually roasted. Some grills use charcoal or wood, and other grills use propane gas to cook the food.
Using wood or charcoal makes smoke and changes the flavor of the food. Using gas does not. Some people only like one type, and some people like both kinds of grilling.
The heat may be added underneath the food, or above, or both. A barbecue is a typical machine for outdoor cooking using coke or other fuel for providing heat from underneath. Overhead grilling is more usual indoors, especially in professional kitchens.
In the United States, there are cook-off grills, which are competitions. The most common meats used are steak, burgers and hot dogs. Grilling food is very common for holidays or celebrations like the 4th of July (United States Independence Day). Most people use a grill more outdoors in the summer time.
Grills can have fire touching the food. This might cause a burnt taste and could possibly be a carcinogen.

Negotiation

A negotiation is a formal discussion to reach agreement about an issue. It is an important method to reduce conflict, and to get things done. Examples:
Two hostile nations both claim a piece of territory. They may go to war over it. Or, they may negotiate some agreement. The agreement would be written down, and both governments would agree to keep the agreement.
A football club wishes to buy a player from another club. A series of negotiations would take place between the clubs, the player and the player's agent. If the negotiations succeed, the player gets moved. In this case, and in many others, success is followed by a legal contract, or a court decision, which makes the agreement legal.
In less formal circumstances, a negotiation is just bargaining or haggling over, for example, money.

History of video game consoles (second generation)

The second generation of video game consoles began in 1976. The second generation began with the release of the Fairchild Channel F and Radofin Electronics' 1292 Advanced Programmable Video System. This generation is sometimes called the "early 8-bit era". Many consoles were released in the second generation. The Atari 2600 was the most popular video game console for much of the second generation. Other consoles such as Intellivision, the Odyssey 2, and ColecoVision were also popular.
The second generation ended in 1984. This was because of the video game crash of 1983. As of 2004, the Atari 2600 has sold 30 million units. As of 1990, the Intellivision had sold 3 million units. As of April 1984, the ColecoVision had sold 2 million units. As of 1977, the Fairchild Channel F had sold 250,000 units.

The 2015-16 Premier League was the 24th Premier League that took place from 8 August 2015 to 17 May 2016.
It was won by Leicester City who, guided by Claudio Ranieri, upset bookmakers odds of 5000/1 at the start of the season by finishing 10 points clear of 2nd place Arsenal to win their 1st ever top flight English league title.
The season was supposed to end on Sunday 15th May, but instead ended on Tuesday 17th May due to the abandonment and subsequent rearrangement of Manchester United's last home game against A.F.C. Bournemouth after a bomb scare.

Joe Biden 2024 presidential campaign

Joe Biden, the 46th and current president of the United States, announced his reelection campaign for the 2024 presidential election on April 25, 2023.
Biden is currently seeking the nomination for the Democratic primaries to be reelected as president.
Background
After Biden won the 2020 United States presidential election, he became the first presidential candidate to defeat an incumbent president since the 1992 presidential election. Biden also became the oldest president ever elected in the United States.
During late 2021, as Biden was suffering from low approval ratings and nationwide polls urged Biden not to run for reelection due to his unpopularity and his age.
Biden is the oldest person to assume the office at the age of 78. He will be 82 at the end of his first term. If re-elected, he would be 86 at the end of his second term.
In November 2022, Donald Trump, who Biden had defeated in the 2020 election, announced his candidacy for a non-consecutive term.
This later caused wide speculation that both Biden and Trump may face a potential rematch in the 2024 election. If both Biden and Trump are renominated, this would be the first presidential rematch since the 1956 presidential election.
On April 25, 2023, Biden announced his reelection campaign in a campaign ad for the 2024 election.
This officially makes Biden's fourth presidential campaign, as he ran for president in, 1988, 2008, 2020, and is running for reelection again in 2024.
As of 2023, major issues such as inflation, crime, immigration, abortion, LGBT rights, and gun control are expected to be leading campaign topics of the 2024 election.
