**Leendert "Leen" Droppert** (24 April 1930 – 15 November 2022) was a Dutch visual artist.

Biography
---------

Droppert was born in Vlaardingen in 1930. He attended the *Amsterdamse Grafische School* (Amsterdam Graphic School) in Amsterdam and the Willem de Kooning Academy, an evening art adacemy in Rotterdam. In 1947 he founded the Vlaardingse Kunstkring [nl] together with six other visual artists from Vlaardingen.

Droppert worked as a visual artist and spatial designer since the early 1950s. His works belong to both figurative art and abstract art. Between the 1950s and 1970s he created dozens of wall paintings, ceramic wall sculptures and stained glass windows. He is more known for the various parks and (school)squares he designed during the 1970s and 1980s that includes his works of art.

It is his most known sculpture is the *Geuzenmonument [nl]* which was unveiled by Beatrix of the Netherlands on 12 March 1983. The monument commemorates the Geuzen, the first large group of resistance fighters from World War II and the Geuzen who did not survive the war. Each year on 13 March, the Geuzen are commemorated with a silent march to the monument where the *Geuzenpenning [nl]* is awarded.

In 2008, Droppert created a flood pile project of the Vettenoordse polders [nl] in Vlaardingen. The project consists of four flood poles, which indicate the water level at the storm surge of 1775. The poles are located at Maasboulevard, Mendelssohnplein, Westhavenkade and Zomerstraat in Vlaardingen.

Droppert received the honorary medal of the city of Vlaardingen in 2010, and so became honorary citizen of the municipality. The same year, Museum Vlaardingen held the exposition about the works of Droppert named "Zover het oog reikt" on the occasion of his eightieth birthday. In 2020, the year of his ninetieth birthday, Museum Vlaardingen held again an exposition with his works.

Droppert married to Beatrix van der Kuil who died in 2006. From around 2020 he lived in care home Drieën-Huysen in Vlaardingen due to his declining health. Droppert died there after a short illness on 15 November 2022, at the age of 92.

**Kusunoki Masashige** (楠木 正成, 1294 - July 4, 1336) was a 14th century samurai from Kawachi Province. He fought for Emperor Go-Daigo. The warrior's conduct and death are recognized as examples of bushido.

Battle planner
--------------

Kusunoki was a brilliant tactician and strategist. He defended two key Loyalist fortresses at Akasaka and Chihaya. This helped Go-Daigo to briefly return to power. However, one of the loyalist generals, Ashikaga Takauji, betrayed Go-Daigo. Ashikaga led an army against Kusunoki and the remaining loyalists. Kusunoki suggested to the Emperor that they hide on sacred Mount Hiei and allow Takauji to take Kyoto. Later, they could move quickly down from the mountain to trap Ashikaga and destroy him.

### Disaster

Go-Daigo would not leave the capital. He insisted that Kusunoki meet Ashikaga's larger army forces in the field in a direct battle. Kusunoki obediently accepted his Emperor's foolish command. This became a great example of loyalty. He left his death poem with his young son Masatsura and knowingly marched his army into almost certain death. The battle took place at Minatogawa in modern-day Chūō-ku, Kobe. It was a tactical disaster. Kusunoki had only 73 of the original 700 horsemen left and was surrounded. He committed suicide along with his brother Masasue, 11 close clan members, and 60 others. According to legend, his brother's last words were *Shichisei Hōkoku!* (七生報國; "Would that I had seven lives to give for my country!") and Kusunoki Masashige agreed.

After his death
---------------

Kusunoki Masashige's son, Kusunoki Masatsura, served the next emperor, the 12-year old Go-Murukami. These two had a trusting relationship like their fathers. Masatsura died alongside his brother Masatoki and cousin Wada Takahide in battle. That was the end of the Kusunoki clan.

Kusunoki Masashige's successful defense of Chihaya castle is believed to have helped the emperor gain power against the Kamakura bakufu. Kusunoki held out so long in his castle, so Ashikaga Takauji changed sides and helped the emperor. The Kamakura bakufu ended. However, Ashikaga Takauji quickly learned that he did not like following the emperor's commands. He changed loyalty again and established his own Ashikaga bakufu. He was able to establish his own shogunate after defeating Kusunoki Masashige and the commander in chief Yoshisada in the final battle. Kusunoki Masashige tried to bring Ashikaga Takauji back to the emperor's side, but the emperor rejected this plan.

Legacy
------

Kusunoki's life and death are an important part of the historical narrative which is recorded in the *Taiheiki*.

The **Liri** is one of the main rivers in central Italy that flows through the Abruzzo and Lazio regions. It flows into the Tyrrhenian Sea under the name **Garigliano**.

Geography
---------

The Liri river has a length of 120 km (75 mi) (158 km (98 mi) as Garigliano), and a drainage basin with an area of approximately 4,140 km2 (1,598 sq mi). The Liri-Garigliano system has a total drainage basin of 5,020 square kilometres (1,940 sq mi).

It flows at first to the southeast through a long valley, parallel to the general direction of the Apennines, until it gets to the city of Sora. Before Isola del Liri "Liri Island"), the Liri is joined by the Fibreno river and then it divides into two branches which then rejoin, surrounding the lower part of the town. One branch makes a 28-metre (92 ft) high waterfall.

A dam is built on the river after the confluence with the Sacco river, its main tributary, at Ceprano. The last important tributary of the Liri is the *Melfa*, with which it joins near Aquino. The river forms the border between Lazio and Campania regions and, after Cassino, it joins the *Gari* river and then it is known as *Garigliano*.

A **lipid** is a type of organic molecule found in **living things**. It is oily or waxy. Fats are made from lipid molecules. Sources of lipid can be found in algae, seeds, meat, cheese, butter and fish. Lipids are long chains of carbon and hydrogen molecules. Lipids are classified as simple and complex. Examples of complex molecules could be steroids or phospholipids. 

A very important biological function of lipids is as lipid bilayers, the basis of many cell membranes. Another function of lipids is to serve as an energy reserve. Lipids can be hydrophobic (non-polar), or amphipatic (containing both polar and non-polar parts).

Structures of some common lipids. At the top are oleic acid and cholesterol. The middle structure is a triglyceride composed of oleoyl, stearoyl, and palmitoyl chains attached to a glycerol backbone. At the bottom is the common phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine.
**Lipids** are a group of naturally occurring molecules that include fats, waxes, sterols, fat-soluble vitamins (such as vitamins A, D, E, and K), glycerides, phospholipids, and others. The main biological functions of lipids include storing energy, signalling, and acting as components of cell membranes.
**Lippelo** is a small town in the Belgian province of Antwerp. It is a part of the municipality of Sint-Amands. Lippelo had 1173 people as of 01/01/2006.

The **Kingdom of Kerma** was a state in Nubia from around 2500 BC to about 1520 BC. It was based in the city of Kerma in Upper Nubia and was a major centre during the Middle Kingdom period of Egypt. It had a distinct civilization (for example very fine and original ceramics have been found).

The site of Kerma includes both an extensive town and a cemetery consisting of large tumuli. Because one can find there much examples of Nubian culture and burial practices at the site, scholars think that the Egyptian statues and other Egyptian objects found at Kerma arrived through trade.

In 2003, a Swiss archaeological team working in northern Sudan uncovered one of the most remarkable Egyptological finds in recent years. At the site known as Kerma, near the third cataract of the Nile, archaeologist Charles Bonnet and his team discovered a ditch within a temple from the ancient city of Pnoubs, which contained seven monumental black granite statues. Magnificently sculpted, and in an excellent state of preservation, they portrayed five pharaonic rulers, including Taharqa and Tanoutamon, the last two pharaohs of the 'Nubian' Dynasty, when Egypt was ruled by kings from the lands of modern-day Sudan. For over half a century, the Nubian pharaohs governed a combined kingdom of Egypt and Nubia, with an empire stretching from the Delta to the upper reaches of the Nile.

**John Dennis Profumo**, CBE (30 January 1915 – 9 March 2006), always known as **Jack Profumo**, was a British soldier and politician. A scandal, known as the Profumo affair, led to his resignation and withdrawal from politics. It may have damaged the Conservative government of Harold Macmillan. Profumo spent his later life working for charities.

Profumo died of a stroke in London, aged 91.

Life
----

Profumo's father was a barrister, though the Profumo family's money was in insurance. The family sold the Provident Life Association for £6 million in the 1980s. Profumo was educated at Harrow and Brasenose College, Oxford. He joined the Army when war was declared, and in 1940 he became the youngest Member of Parliament. His military career is described:

"Profumo had a distinguished military career, being mentioned in dispatches during the North Africa campaign, and being appointed OBE (military) while serving on Field Marshal Alexander's staff in Italy. He was present at the surrender of the German forces in Italy and was later appointed Brigadier and Chief of Staff to the British Liaison Mission to General MacArthur in Japan. He also landed in Normandy on D-Day with an armoured brigade, and took part in the fierce fighting at Caen and in Operation Goodwood".

Affair
------

Profumo's political career was ruined by a combination of events. He and his wife accepted an invitation from Lord Astor to spend a weekend at his country estate, Clivedon. During that weekend he saw Christine Keeler get out of the swimming pool naked. Profumo asked for her phone number, and they became lovers. Unfortunately for Profumo, she was also having an affair with the Russian naval attaché and spy, Yevgeny Ivanov. When MI5 discovered this from a tip-off, Profumo ended the affair. Rumours circulated, and he was directly challenged about his relationship in the House of Commons. In a personal statement to the House of Commons, Profumo denied the accusation. This was perhaps his biggest mistake. He eventually confessed his affair, and resigned from the government and from Parliament.

Profumo was later (1975) awarded the CBE for services to charity.

The **Japan Football Association** or **Japan FA** (日本サッカー協会, *Nihon Sakkā Kyōkai*) is the governing body responsible for the administration of football in Japan. It is responsible for the national team, as well as club competitions.

History
-------

The organisation was founded in 1921 as the Greater Japan Football Association (大日本蹴球協会, *Dai-Nippon Shūkyū Kyōkai*), and became affiliated with FIFA in 1921. In 1945, the name of the organisation was changed to the Japan Football Association (日本蹴球協会, *Nihon Shūkyū Kyōkai*); its Japanese name was changed to the current title in 1975. This reflected common use of the word *sakkā* (サッカー), derived from "soccer", rather than the older Japanese word *shūkyū* (蹴球; literally "kick-ball"). The word *sakkā* gained popularity during the post-World War II occupation of Japan by the Allied powers. The association generally translates its name to "Japan Football Association" in English, though "Japan Soccer Association" is also used.

Symbol
------

This is one of the designs of Yatagarasu.

The symbol of the JFA is the Yatagarasu, a mythical three-legged raven that guided Emperor Jimmu to Mount Kumano. Yatagarasu is also the messenger of the supreme Shinto sun goddess Amaterasu.

Louise Farrenc (née Jeanne-Louise Dumont), about 1855, Bibliothèque nationale de France.
**Louise Farrenc** (born Paris, 31 May 1804; died 15 September 1875) was a French composer, virtuoso pianist and teacher. She was very well-known during her lifetime, but her best compositions are not very well known. This is because the way to become a famous composer in France in the 19th century was by writing operas, but Farrenc never wrote operas. Her best compositions are chamber music.

Life
----

Her name when she was born was **Jeanne-Louise Dumont**. Her father was a successful sculptor. She was very young when she started to learn the piano. Her teacher had been a pupil of Muzio Clementi. Soon she was having piano lessons with famous teachers such as Ignaz Moscheles and Johann Nepomuk Hummel. She loved composing, so her parents let her study composition with Anton Reicha at the Paris Conservatoire. At that time women were not allowed to go to composition classes at the Conservatoire, so she probably had her lessons privately. She met a flautist (flute player) called Aristide Farrenc. He was ten years older than she was. They often performed together and they married in 1821. She stopped her studies and travelled with her husband around France giving concerts. He soon grew tired of the concert life and decided to open a publishing house in Paris, which was called Éditions Farrenc. It became one of France’s most important music publishers for nearly 40 years.

Farrenc returned to her studies with Reicha. Then she started giving many concerts and became famous. She was so successful that in 1842 she was made Professor of Piano at the Paris Conservatoire. She stayed in that job for 30 years. Although it was a very good job she was paid less than the male teachers. When her nonet was performed it made her famous. Joseph Joachim was one of the performers. After this success she was paid the same salary as the male professors. Several other chamber works were very successful, but after her death people forgot about them.

Music
-----

At first, during the 1820s and 1830s, she just wrote for piano. Several music critics, including Schumann, thought they were very good. In the 1830s, she wrote chamber music and orchestral music. Her chamber music includes most of her best compositions.

Ben Shultz, better known as Leeroy Jenkins.
**Leeroy Jenkins** is the name of a player character who was in the game World of Warcraft, created by Ben Shultz. He made a video which was put onto Youtube, and it became very popular. He has become known and even has his own achievement on World of Warcraft for pretending to be him in the video. Leeroy’s name is often spelt wrong as Leroy Jenkins who is a real different person.

The video which made Leeroy so famous shows him and his friends, doing a friendly activity known as a Raid in World of Warcraft, but this activity is hard to do, so the leader of the group that Leeroy is with has to explain what to do. But Leeroy is not around for the explanation, preparing some chicken, and when he comes back, he ends up running in the area, shouting his own name as he goes, which begins the activity, and ruining the plan which his friends made. This causes everyone to panic, and no-one knows what to do, and so, everyone dies. Everyone blames Leeroy for this, and he says "At least I got chicken."

Leeroy has become very well known and his name is now used by people to show that they are running in but have no idea what to do. These people should be avoided, as they may cause you to die as well, as the video shows. Because of this, people now consider the video to be a lesson.

***Lawrence v. Texas***, 539 US 558 (2003), is the primary piece of case law which ultimately decriminalized sodomy in the United States. Ruled upon by the United States Supreme Court in 2003, *Lawrence v. Texas* concerned a Texas law that criminalized consensual, adult homosexual intercourse which was found unconstitutional under the Due Process clause of the Fourteenth Amendment.

Background of the case
----------------------

Houston Police were tipped off to a weapons disturbance purportedly from the residence of John Lawrence. Upon entering the apartment, police found Lawrence and Tyron Garner engaging in sexual intercourse. At the time, a statute was in place which banned such homosexual sex acts and further deemed homosexuality a "deviance." Both Lawrence and Garner were arrested and convicted under this statute.

Upon appeal, the Texas State Court of Appeals affirmed the men's convictions citing *Bowers v. Hardwick*, 478 US 186 (1986), as the controlling case.

Lawrence filed for certiorari to the Supreme Court which was granted in 2003.

Ruling
------

In a 6-3 decision, the Supreme Court voted to overturn Lawrence's conviction and declared the Texas anti-sodomy statute unconstitutional. The decision hinged on the right of Lawrence and Garner to engage in private conduct under the Due Process Clause. Justice Anthony Kennedy, writing the majority opinion, stated "[Lawrence and Garner's] right to liberty under the Due Process Clause gives them the full right to engage in their conduct without intervention of the government." The decision to overturn *Bowers v. Hardwick* was 5-4, with Justice O'Connor (a member of the *Bowers* majority back in 1986) refusing to overturn *Bowers* and instead supporting the *Lawrence* ruling on narrower Equal Protection grounds because the challenged Texas law made male-male sodomy illegal but not male-female sodomy.

Criticism
---------

In a 2004 law review article, U.S. law professors Nelson Lund and John McGinnis criticized *Lawrence v. Texas* due to its alleged judicial hubris and expressed fears that its extremely broad language could have unexpected consequences in the long(er)-run.

*Eryops*: typical labyrinthodont body shape
**Labyrinthodont** is a term which was used for fossil amphibia. Although it is no longer a formal term in taxonomy, it is still useful as an evolutionary grade, a kind of catch-all term. *Labyrinth* mean a maze and *dont* means tooth.

Labyrinthodonts are often called Temnospondyls.
The Labyrinthodontia is not a clade, because it is not monophyletic. It has been replaced in the classification by more correct terms.

The labyrithodonts were some of the dominant animals from the Devonian to the Lower Triassic (about 390 to 210 million years ago). The group is an evolutionary grade (a polyphyletic or paraphyletic group) of species which look rather similar.

The name describes the pattern of infolding of the dentine and enamel of the teeth, which often fossilise. They are also have a heavily armoured skull roof (so they also have an even older name "Stegocephalia"), and complex vertebrae.

Characteristics
---------------

Cross-section of a labyrinthodont tooth
The labyrinthodonts flourished for more than 200 million years. Although there was much variation, these traits make their fossils distinct and easy to recognise:

* **Strongly folded tooth surface**, so that a cross section resembles a classical labyrinth (or maze).
* **Massive skull roof**, with openings only for the nostrils, eyes and a parietal 'third eye'. The skull was rather flat with thick dermal armour, accounting for the older term for the group: *Stegocephalia*. The amniotes (Sauropsids and Synapsids) developed deeper skulls.
* **Otic notch** behind each eye at the back edge of the skull. In the primitive waterbound forms it may have formed an open spiracle, and may possibly have held an ear-drum in some advanced forms.
* **Complex vertebrae** made of 4 pieces.

What the term included
----------------------

* †**Ichthyostegalia** : term no longer used; see 'Fishapods', below.
* †**Temnospondyli** (possible ancestors of modern amphibians)
* †**Lepospondyli** (possible ancestors of modern amphibians)
* †**Reptiliomorpha** (ancestors of reptiles): now referred to the Amniote stem-group or the Sauropsida.

### Specifically excluded

* Lissamphibians: modern amphibia
* Amniotes: The terrestrial cleidoic egg-laying animals, the Sauropsida and Synapsida.

Fishapods
---------

In Late Devonian vertebrate speciation, descendants of pelagic lobe-finned fish – like *Eusthenopteron* – had a series of adaptations:  

 • *Panderichthys*, suited to muddy shallows;  

 • *Tiktaalik* with limb-like fins that could take it onto land;  

 • Early tetrapods in weed-filled swamps, such as:  

   • *Acanthostega* which had feet with eight digits,  

   • *Ichthyostega* with limbs.  

Descendants also included pelagic lobe-finned fish such as coelacanth species.
Early tetropods are now classified as lobe-finned fish (Sarcopterygii). This is because we now know they were aquatic when the limbs first evolved (see Tetrapod).

The informal term *fishapods* is often used for this group of Devonian animals.

A more formal term, used by Clack, is "stem-group tetrapods".
**Landsbanki** (literally "national bank"), also commonly known as **Landsbankinn** (literally "the national bank") which is now the name of the current rebuilt bank (here called "New Landsbanki"), was one of the largest Icelandic commercial banks that failed as part of the 2008–2011 Icelandic financial crisis when its subsidiary sparked the Icesave dispute. On October 7, 2008, the Icelandic Financial Supervisory Authority took control of Landsbanki and created a new bank for all the domestic operations called Nyi Landsbanki (new Landsbanki) so that the domestic bank could continue to operate, the new bank continued to operate under the Landsbanki name in Iceland.

Prior to its failure the bank was one of the largest Icelandic banks with assets of ISK 3,058 billion in December 2007 and a market capitalisation of ISK 383 billion. It been in operation since 1885 and had been instrumental in the economic development of business and industry in Iceland. From 1927 to 1961 the bank had acted as the central bank, until it was replaced by the Central Bank of Iceland, although this interest was primarily directed towards note issuance rather than monetary policy. The bank had been state owned and was privatized in stages between 1998 and 2003.

Landsbanki had positioned itself as Iceland's primary provider of general and specialised financial services to individuals, corporate entities and institutions. The bank had the country's most extensive branch network with 40 branches and sub-branches. At the end of 2006, Landsbanki provided close to 40% of corporate lending in Iceland, and for around 60% of companies listed on the OMX Iceland Stock Exchange, Landsbanki was their principal bank or one of two banks with whom they did business. The leading provider of M&A, derivatives, equity and fixed income services.

It started to expanded overseas in 2000 through a number of acquisitions and organic growth, the expansion would lead to the creation of its Icesave subsidiary in 2006 which would ultimately seal its fate.
Picture of Anne Hyde, c. 1670
**Lady Anne Hyde, Duchess of York** (22 March 1638 – 31 March 1671) was the first wife of James, Duke of York (the future King James II of England and VII of Scotland). She was also and the mother of two queens, Mary II of England and Scotland and Anne of Great Britain.

Early years
-----------

She was born on 12 March 1638 (Old Style) or 22 March 1638 (New Style), at Windsor, Berkshire of the Hyde family.

The royal family stayed in exile after the English Civil War. Anne's father served as the Royalist chief adviser to the future King Charles II of England, James's older brother. Anne was Maid of Honour to Mary, Princess Royal and Princess of Orange, sister of Charles and James. It was during this time that James seduced Anne while she was in his sister's service and Charles forced James to marry Anne. He said that her strong character would be a good influence on his weak-willed brother.

Duchess of York
---------------

The couple went through an official marriage ceremony on 3 September 1660, in London, after the English Restoration of the monarchy. Anne was not a beautiful woman. In fact, Samuel Pepys slights her as being quite plain. However, the French Ambassador described her as having "courage, cleverness, and energy almost worthy of a King's blood".

Larva of a common lacewing (*Chrysoperla carnea*) or perhaps *C. mediterranea* feeding on an aphid
**Lacewings**, or 'Green lacewings', are insects in the large family **Chrysopidae** of the order Neuroptera. There are about 85 genera and (differing between sources) 1,300–2,000 species in this widespread group. However, in America and Europe, the two genera *Chrysopa* and *Chrysoperla* are very common.

Most species of lacewings and their larvae are active predators, and are often used for biological control.

Many adults of *Chrysopa* can defend themselves by giving out a vile smell from glands at the front of their thorax.

They have 'ears' at the base of their front wings. When they hear bat echolocation sounds, they close their wings and drop down. They can escape spider webs, because, being so light, they do not create much vibration to alert the spider. Instead of struggling like most insects, the lacewing bites through the strands holding its legs and antennae. When it is stuck only by its wings, it become completely immobile. Slowly, the lacewing slides downwards out of the web. Tiny hairs on the wings prevent the sticky spider silk from touching the wings' surface.

The larvae are voracious, attacking other insects of suitable size, especially soft-bodied ones (aphids, caterpillars and other insect larvae, insect eggs). When they touch a potential prey object, the larva grasps it. Their maxillae are hollow, and inject a digestive secretion into the prey. The organs of an aphid can be dissolved by this in 90 seconds.
**Matthew Flinders** RN (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814) was an English navigator and cartographer. He was the leader of the first circumnavigation of Australia and identified it as a continent.

Flinders made three voyages to the southern ocean between 1791 and 1810. In the second voyage, George Bass and Flinders confirmed that Van Diemen's Land (now Tasmania) was an island. In the third voyage, Flinders circumnavigated the mainland of what was to be called Australia, along with Aboriginal man Bungaree.

Heading back to England in 1803, Flinders' vessel needed urgent repairs at Isle de France (Mauritius). Although Britain and France were at war, Flinders thought the scientific nature of his work would ensure safe passage, but a suspicious governor kept him under arrest for more than six years. In captivity, he recorded details of his voyages for future publication, and put forward his rationale for naming the new continent 'Australia', as an umbrella term for New Holland and New South Wales – a suggestion taken up later by Governor Macquarie.

Flinders' health had suffered, however, and although he reached home in 1810, he did not live to see the publication of his widely praised book and atlas, *A Voyage to Terra Australis*.
This is a dynamic list and may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by adding missing items with reliable sources.

Right now, he holds 20 Guinness World Records. He is a member of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, becoming one of few artists to be admitted twice (he was admitted in 1997 as a member of The Jackson 5 and again as a solo artist in 2001). Jackson was also admitted into the National Museum of Dance and Hall of Fame, making him the first and currently, only recording artist to be inducted. He was also admitted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Jackson was also admitted in 2014 into the Rhythm & Blues Hall of Fame along with his father Joe Jackson. He has two Primetime Emmy Award nominations in 1983 and 1990.

A winner of many awards for his humanitarian efforts (helping people around the world who are in need of food, shelter, education, etc.). Jackson has been awarded by two Presidents of the United States for this.

The old **Korean calendar** tells the phases of the moon and the day in the solar year, like other older calendars of other East Asian countries. Dates are calculated from Chinese calendar. Important dates are based in Korean culture.

The Gregorian calendar officially began to be used in 1896. The dates of older important Korean events are still based on the old calendar. The most important date in Korea today is Seollal, the first day of the Korean calendar's New Year. Other important events include Daeboreum (the first full moon phase, also referred to as *Boreumdaal*), Dano (spring) and Chuseok (autumn), and Samjinnal (beginning of spring). Other minor events based on the old Korean calendar include Yudu (summer), and Chilseok (monsoon season).

History
-------

The old Korean calendar comes from the old Chinese calendar. The Korean calendar said what its years were by using Korean era names from 270 to 963. Then Chinese era names with Korean era names were used a few times until 1894. In 1894-1895, The calendar based on the moon was used with years numbered from the beginning of the Joseon Dynasty in 1392.

The Gregorian calendar began to be used on 1 January 1896, with Korean era name "Geonyang (건양 / 建陽, "adopting solar calendar")."

From 1945 to 1961 in South Korea, Gregorian calendar years were counted from the start of Gojoseon in 2333 BC (regarded as year one). These Dangi (단기 / 檀紀) years were 4278 to 4294. This numbering was often used unofficially with the Korean lunar calendar before 1945. It has only sometimes been used after 1961, mostly in North Korea before 1997.

In North Korea, the Juche calendar has been used since 1997 to number its years, based on the birth of Kim Il Sung.
*Leo in 1974*
***Gerard Hugh "Leo" Sayer*** is an English-born pop singer. He was born in Shoreham-by-Sea near the city of Brighton and Hove, England, on May 21st, 1948. He was most successful during the 1970s and early 1980s. He had hits such as "When I Need You", "The Show Must Go On", "Moonlighting" and "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing". He became an Australian citizen in January, 2009.

Early life
----------

Sayer was born in Shoreham-by-Sea to an English father and Irish mother on May 21st, 1948. He attended St. Peter's Catholic Primary School in Shoreham and later attended Blessed Robert Southwell, renamed Chatsmore in Goring-by-Sea. Leo also attended West Sussex College of Art and Design in Worthing to study commercial art and graphic design.

Career
------

Leo first found fame in his home country in 1973 when his single "The Show Must Go On" reached no 2 in the UK single charts. He performed this song dressed as a pierrot clown. He co-wrote a number of his songs, including this song. His singing career went from strength to strength and by the late 1970s he was well known internationally having had hit singles and albums in the USA, Ireland, Sweden, Australia and other countries. A number of hit singles followed in the early 1980s, including "Orchard Road" and "More Than I Can Say". He returned to the top of the UK singles chart in 2006 with a remix hit of his 1977 single, "Thunder in my Heart ".

Sayer appeared in *The Muppet Show* in 1978 where he sang "The Show Must Go On", "You Make Me Feel Like Dancing" and his best selling single, "When I Need You". He also was a participant in the UK's *Celebrity Big Brother* 2007.
Dollartshammer, Kupferhof Bauschenberg and Straßburger Hof in the year 1880
The **Kupferhof Bauschenberg** was a brass producing factory built in the 17th century in the German city of Stolberg. It had a great influence on the brass industry which made Stolberg world leader in brass production for more than a century.

Due to the excellent conditions for the production of the alloy brass there could hardly be a better place to choose than Stolberg. Located near the small river Vichtbach the water wheels could easily be powerded. Calamine was delivered by the oar mines from nearby Breinigerberg and wood for firing the furnaces had been available in adequate quantities in the forests of the Eifel. This must be the reason why Gottfried Schardinel, one of the richest persons at that time in the region of Stolberg built the Kupferhof Bauschenberg. 

Later the three factories Kupferhof Bauschenberg, Dollartshammer as well as Straßburger Hof fusionated to create the company Prym.
