Ottoman_Navy

The Ottoman Navy ( Osmanlı Donanması or Donanma-yı Humâyûn ) , also known as the Ottoman Fleet , was established in the early 14th century after the Ottoman Empire first expanded to reach the sea in 1323 by capturing Karamürsel , the site of the first Ottoman naval shipyard and the nucleus of the future Navy . During its long existence , it was involved in many conflicts and signed a number of maritime treaties . At its height , the Navy extended to the Indian Ocean , sending an expedition to Indonesia in 1565 . For much of its history , the Navy was led by the position of the Kapudan Pasha ( Grand Admiral ; literally `` Captain Pasha '' ) . This position was abolished in 1867 , when it was replaced by the Minister of the Navy ( Bahriye Nazırı ) and a number of Fleet Commanders ( Donanma Komutanları ) . After the end of the Ottoman Empire and the declaration of the Republic of Turkey in 1923 , the Navy 's tradition was continued under the modern Turkish Naval Forces .

In_a_Lonely_Place

0

In a Lonely Place is a 1950 film noir directed by Nicholas Ray , and starring Humphrey Bogart and Gloria Grahame , produced for Bogart 's Santana Productions . The script was adapted by Edmund North from the 1947 novel of the same name by Dorothy B. Hughes . Bogart stars as Dixon Steele , a troubled screenwriter suspected of murder and Grahame co-stars as Laurel Gray , a neighbor who falls under his spell . Beyond its surface plot of confused identity and tormented love , the story is a mordant comment on Hollywood mores and the pitfalls of celebrity and near-celebrity , similar to two other American films released that same year ; Billy Wilder 's Sunset Boulevard and Joseph Mankiewicz 's All About Eve . Although lesser known than his other work , Bogart 's performance is considered by many critics to be among his finest and the film 's reputation has grown over time along with Ray 's . It is now considered a classic film noir , as evidenced by its inclusion on the Time magazine `` All-Time 100 List '' as well as Slant Magazine 's 100 Essential Films . In 2007 , In a Lonely Place was selected for preservation in the United States National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being `` culturally , historically , or aesthetically significant .

Antarctica ( UK English -LSB- ænˈtɑːktɪkə -RSB- or -LSB- ænˈtɑːtɪkə -RSB- , US English -LSB- æntˈɑːrktɪkə -RSB- ) is Earth 's southernmost continent . It contains the geographic South Pole and is situated in the Antarctic region of the Southern Hemisphere , almost entirely south of the Antarctic Circle , and is surrounded by the Southern Ocean . At 14000000 km2 , it is the fifth-largest continent . For comparison , Antarctica is nearly twice the size of Australia . About 98 % of Antarctica is covered by ice that averages 1.9 km in thickness , which extends to all but the northernmost reaches of the Antarctic Peninsula . Antarctica , on average , is the coldest , driest , and windiest continent , and has the highest average elevation of all the continents . Antarctica is a desert , with annual precipitation of only 200 mm ( 8 in ) along the coast and far less inland . The temperature in Antarctica has reached − 89.2 ° C ( − 128.6 ° F ) , though the average for the third quarter ( the coldest part of the year ) is − 63 ° C ( − 81 ° F ) . Anywhere from 1,000 to 5,000 people reside throughout the year at the research stations scattered across the continent . Organisms native to Antarctica include many types of algae , bacteria , fungi , plants , protista , and certain animals , such as mites , nematodes , penguins , seals and tardigrades . Vegetation , where it occurs , is tundra . Although myths and speculation about a Terra Australis ( `` Southern Land '' ) date back to antiquity , Antarctica is noted as the last region on Earth in recorded history to be discovered and colonised by humans , being only first sighted in 1820 by the Russian expedition of Fabian Gottlieb von Bellingshausen and Mikhail Lazarev on Vostok and Mirny , who sighted the Fimbul ice shelf . The continent , however , remained largely neglected for the rest of the 19th century because of its hostile environment , lack of easily accessible resources , and isolation . In 1895 , the first confirmed landing was conducted by a team of Norwegians . Antarctica is a de facto condominium , governed by parties to the Antarctic Treaty System that have consulting status . Twelve countries signed the Antarctic Treaty in 1959 , and thirty-eight have signed it since then . The treaty prohibits military activities and mineral mining , prohibits nuclear explosions and nuclear waste disposal , supports scientific research , and protects the continent 's ecozone . Ongoing experiments are conducted by more than 4,000 scientists from many nations .

In road bicycle racing , a Grand Tour refers to one of the three major European professional cycling stage races : Tour de France , Giro d'Italia and Vuelta a España . Collectively they are termed the Grand Tours , and all three races are similar in format being multi-week races with daily stages . They have a special status in the UCI regulations : more points for the UCI World Tour are distributed in Grand Tours than in other races , and they are the only stage races allowed to last longer than 14 days . The Tour de France is the oldest and most prestigious of all three , and also the world 's most famous cycling race . The Giro d'Italia is the second most important and has occasionally been as popular as the Tour ( late 1940s , 1950s , and early 1970s ) .

The Waterboy is a 1998 American sports comedy film directed by Frank Coraci ( who played Robert ` Roberto ' Boucher , Sr. ) , starring Adam Sandler , Kathy Bates , Fairuza Balk , Henry Winkler , Jerry Reed ( his last film role before his death in 2008 ) , Larry Gilliard , Jr. , Blake Clark , Peter Dante and Jonathan Loughran , and produced by Robert Simonds and Jack Giarraputo . Lynn Swann , Lawrence Taylor , Jimmy Johnson , Bill Cowher , Paul `` The Big Show '' Wight and Rob Schneider have cameo appearances . The movie was extremely profitable , earning $ 161.5 million in North America alone . This was Sandler 's second film to eclipse $ 120 million worldwide in 1998 along with The Wedding Singer . Adam Sandler 's character , Bobby Boucher ( pronounced -LSB- buː ' ʃeɪ -RSB- ) , bears a strong resemblance to his `` The Excited Southerner '' comedic skits from his album What the Hell Happened to Me ? The portrayal is one of a stereotypical Cajun from the bayous of South Louisiana , not the typical stereotype of a Southerner . He also shares similarities in speech and mannerism to Canteen Boy , a recurring character , also portrayed by Sandler , on Saturday Night Live . Like Bobby , Canteen Boy was a soft-spoken manchild who preferred `` purified water , right out of the old canteen , '' which he always carried with him .

Up Close & Personal is a 1996 American romantic drama film directed by Jon Avnet , and starring Robert Redford as a news director and Michelle Pfeiffer as his protegée , with Stockard Channing , Joe Mantegna , and Kate Nelligan in supporting roles . The screenplay began as an adaptation of Golden Girl : The Story of Jessica Savitch , a 1988 book by Alanna Nash that recounted the troubled life of American news anchor Jessica Savitch . The finished picture , however , was greatly altered by commercial decisions on the part of the producers , and bore little resemblance to Savitch 's biography . Screenwriter John Gregory Dunne , having spent eight years working on the script with his wife Joan Didion , later wrote a book describing his difficult experience , titled Monster : Living Off the Big Screen . The film was nominated for an Academy Award in the category of Best Original Song for `` Because You Loved Me '' , written by Diane Warren and performed by Céline Dion .

University College London ( UCL ) is a public research university in London , England , and a constituent college of the federal University of London . It is the third-largest university in the United Kingdom by total enrollment ( and largest by postgraduate enrollment ) and is regarded as one of the world 's leading universities . Established in 1826 as London University by founders inspired by the radical ideas of Jeremy Bentham , UCL was the first university institution to be established in London , and the first in England to be entirely secular and to admit students regardless of their religion . UCL also makes the contested claims of being the third-oldest university in EnglandThe title of third-oldest university in England is claimed by three institutions : Durham University as the third-oldest officially recognised university ( 1832 ) and the third to confer degrees ( 1837 ) , the University of London as the third university to be granted a Royal Charter ( 1836 ) , and University College London as it was founded as London University ( 1826 ) and was the third-oldest university institution to start teaching ( 1828 ) . A fourth institution , King 's College London , officially claims to be the fourth-oldest university in England ; it was the third university institution to receive a Royal Charter ( 1829 ) and some claim it as third oldest on that basis . Deciding which is the `` third oldest university '' depends largely on the definition of university status . and the first to admit women.The University of Bristol also makes this claim , having admitted women from its foundation ( as a college ) in 1876 . In 1836 UCL became one of the two founding colleges of the University of London , which was granted a royal charter in the same year . It has grown through mergers , including with the Institute of Neurology ( in 1997 ) , the Royal Free Hospital Medical School ( in 1998 ) , the Eastman Dental Institute ( in 1999 ) , the School of Slavonic and East European Studies ( in 1999 ) , the School of Pharmacy ( in 2012 ) and the Institute of Education ( in 2014 ) . UCL has its main campus in the Bloomsbury area of central London , with a number of institutes and teaching hospitals elsewhere in central London and a satellite campus in Doha , Qatar . UCL is organised into 11 constituent faculties , within which there are over 100 departments , institutes and research centres . UCL operates several culturally significant museums and manages collections in a wide range of fields , including the Petrie Museum of Egyptian Archaeology and the Grant Museum of Zoology and Comparative Anatomy , and administers the annual Orwell Prize in political writing . In 2015/16 , UCL had around 38,300 students and 14,200 staff ( including around 7,100 academic staff and 840 professors ) and had a total group income of # 1.36 billion , of which # 530 million was from research grants and contracts . UCL ranks highly in national and international league tables and its graduates rank among the most employable in the world . UCL alumni include the `` Father of the Nation '' of each of India , Kenya and Mauritius , the founders of Ghana , modern Japan and Nigeria , the inventor of the telephone , and one of the co-discoverers of the structure of DNA . UCL academics discovered five of the naturally occurring noble gases , co-discovered hormones , invented the vacuum tube , and made several foundational advances in modern statistics . There are at least 29 Nobel Prize winners and 3 Fields medalists amongst UCL 's alumni and current and former staff.Universities practice different methods for counting Nobel prize affiliates , from the flattering to the highly conservative . As of March 2016 , UCL had an `` official count '' of 29 Nobel affiliates as students or academics , and a further 11 as honorary graduates or honorary fellows . UCL is a member of numerous academic organisations , including the Russell Group , and is part of UCL Partners , the world 's largest academic health science centre , and the ` golden triangle ' of research-intensive English universities .

Magneto_(comics)

Magneto ( mag-nea-toe ) is a fictional character appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics , commonly in association with the X-Men . Created by writer Stan Lee and artist Jack Kirby , the character first appears in The X-Men # 1 ( cover-dated Sept. 1963 ) as the archenemy of the X-Men . The character is a powerful mutant , one of a fictional subspecies of humanity born with superhuman abilities , who has the ability to generate and control magnetic fields . Magneto regards mutants as evolutionarily superior to humans and rejects the possibility of peaceful human-mutant coexistence ; he aims to conquer the world to enable mutants ( whom he refers to as `` homo superior '' ) to replace humans as the dominant species . Writers have since fleshed out his origins and motivations , revealing him to be a Holocaust survivor whose extreme methods and cynical philosophy derive from his determination to protect mutantkind from suffering a similar fate at the hands of a world that fears and persecutes mutants . He is a friend of Professor X , the leader of the X-Men , but their different philosophies cause a rift in their friendship at times . Magneto 's role in comics has varied from supervillain to antihero to superhero , having served as an occasional ally and even a member of the X-Men at times . His character 's early history has been compared with the civil rights leader Malcolm X and Jewish Defense League founder Meir Kahane . Magneto resents the pacifist attitude of Professor X and pushes for a more aggressive approach to achieving civil rights . In 2011 , IGN ranked Magneto as the greatest comic book villain of all time . Sir Ian McKellen portrayed Magneto in four films of the X-Men film series , while Michael Fassbender portrayed a younger version of the character in three films .

The medieval fortress , armory , and political prison in Paris known as the Bastille represented royal authority in the center of Paris . The prison contained just seven inmates at the time of its storming but was a symbol of abuses by the monarchy ; its fall was the flashpoint of the French Revolution . In France , Le quatorze juillet ( 14 July ) is a public holiday , usually called Bastille Day in English .

Articles_of_Confederation

The Articles of Confederation , formally the Articles of Confederation and Perpetual Union , was an agreement among the 13 original states of the United States of America that served as its first constitution . Its drafting by a committee appointed by the Second Continental Congress began on July 12 , 1776 , and an approved version was sent to the states for ratification on November 15 , 1777 . The Articles of Confederation came into force on March 1 , 1781 , after being ratified by all 13 states . A guiding principle of the Articles was to preserve the independence and sovereignty of the states . The federal government received only those powers which the colonies had recognized as belonging to king and parliament . The Articles formed a war-time confederation of states , with an extremely limited central government . Even unratified , the document was used by the Congress to conduct business , direct the American Revolutionary War , conduct diplomacy with foreign nations , and deal with territorial issues and Native American relations . Actually the adoption of the Articles made no perceptible change in the federal government , because it did little more than legalize what the Continental Congress had been doing . That body was now taken over as the Congress of the Confederation ; but Americans continued to call it the Continental Congress , since its organization remained the same . As the Confederation Congress attempted to govern the continually growing American states , delegates discovered that the limitations placed upon the central government rendered it ineffective at doing so . As the government 's weaknesses became apparent , especially after Shays ' Rebellion , individuals began asking for changes to the Articles . Their hope was to create a stronger national government . Initially , some states met to deal with their trade and economic problems . However , as more states became interested in meeting to change the Articles , a meeting was set in Philadelphia on May 25 , 1787 . This became the Constitutional Convention . It was quickly realized that changes would not work , and instead the entire Articles needed to be replaced . On March 4 , 1789 , the general government under the Articles was replaced with the federal government under the Constitution . The new Constitution provided for a much stronger federal government by establishing a chief executive ( the President ) , courts , and taxing powers .

The Antarctic Circle is the most southerly of the five major circles of latitude that mark maps of the Earth . The region south of this circle is known as the Antarctic , and the zone immediately to the north is called the Southern Temperate Zone . South of the Antarctic Circle , the sun is above the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ( and therefore visible at midnight ) and ( at least partially ) below the horizon for 24 continuous hours at least once per year ( and therefore not fully visible at noon ) ; this is also true within the equivalent polar circle in the Northern Hemisphere , the Arctic Circle . The position of the Antarctic Circle is not fixed ; as of , it runs south of the Equator . Its latitude depends on the Earth 's axial tilt , which fluctuates within a margin of 2 ° over a 40,000-year period , due to tidal forces resulting from the orbit of the Moon . Consequently , the Antarctic Circle is currently drifting southwards at a speed of about 15 m per year .

Honey

Honey -LSB- ˈhʌni -RSB- is a sugary food substance produced and stored by certain social hymenopteran insects . It is produced from the sugary secretions of plants or insects , such as floral nectar or aphid honeydew , through regurgitation , enzymatic activity , and water evaporation . The variety of honey produced by honey bees ( the genus Apis ) is the most well-known , due to its worldwide commercial production and human consumption . Honey gets its sweetness from the monosaccharides fructose and glucose , and has about the same relative sweetness as granulated sugar . It has attractive chemical properties for baking and a distinctive flavor when used as a sweetener . Most microorganisms do not grow in honey , so sealed honey does not spoil , even after thousands of years . However , honey sometimes contains dormant endospores of the bacterium Clostridium botulinum , which can be dangerous to babies , as it may result in botulism . People who have a weakened immune system should not eat honey because of the risk of bacterial or fungal infection . Although some evidence indicates honey may be effective in treating diseases and other medical conditions , such as wounds and burns , the overall evidence for its use in therapy is not conclusive . Providing 64 calories in a typical serving of one tablespoon ( 15 ml ) equivalent to 1272 kj per 100 g , honey has no significant nutritional value . Honey is generally safe , but may have various , potential adverse effects or interactions with excessive consumption , existing disease conditions , or drugs . Honey use and production have a long and varied history as an ancient activity , depicted in Valencia , Spain by a cave painting of humans foraging for honey at least 8,000 years ago .

The_Dark_Knight_Rises

The Dark Knight Rises is a 2012 British-American superhero film directed by Christopher Nolan , who co-wrote the screenplay with his brother Jonathan Nolan , and the story with David S. Goyer . Featuring the DC Comics character Batman , the film is the final installment in Nolan 's Batman film trilogy , and the sequel to Batman Begins ( 2005 ) and The Dark Knight ( 2008 ) . Christian Bale reprises the lead role of Bruce Wayne/Batman , with a returning cast of allies : Michael Caine as Alfred Pennyworth , Gary Oldman as James Gordon , and Morgan Freeman as Lucius Fox . The film introduces Selina Kyle ( Anne Hathaway ) , and Bane ( Tom Hardy ) . Eight years after the events of The Dark Knight , merciless revolutionary Bane forces an older Bruce Wayne to resume his role as Batman and save Gotham City from nuclear destruction . Christopher Nolan was hesitant about returning to the series for a second time , but agreed after developing a story with his brother and Goyer that he felt would conclude the series on a satisfactory note . Nolan drew inspiration from Bane 's comic book debut in the 1993 `` Knightfall '' storyline , the 1986 series The Dark Knight Returns , and the 1999 storyline `` No Man 's Land '' . Filming took place in locations including Jodhpur , London , Nottingham , Glasgow , Los Angeles , New York City , Newark , and Pittsburgh . Nolan used IMAX 70 mm film cameras for much of the filming , including the first six minutes of the film , to optimize the quality of the picture .

Frank Vincent Zappa ( December 21 , 1940 -- December 4 , 1993 ) was an American musician , activist and filmmaker . His work was characterized by nonconformity , free-form improvisation , sound experiments , musical virtuosity , and satire of American culture . In a career spanning more than 30 years , Zappa composed rock , pop , jazz , jazz fusion , orchestral and musique concrète works , and produced almost all of the 60-plus albums that he released with his band the Mothers of Invention and as a solo artist . Zappa also directed feature-length films and music videos , and designed album covers . He is considered one of the most innovative and stylistically diverse rock musicians of his generation . As a self-taught composer and performer , Zappa 's diverse musical influences led him to create music that was sometimes difficult to categorize . While in his teens , he acquired a taste for 20th-century classical composers such as Edgard Varèse , Igor Stravinsky , and Anton Webern , along with 1950s rhythm and blues and doo-wop music . He began writing classical music in high school , while at the same time playing drums in rhythm and blues bands ; later switching to electric guitar . His 1966 debut album with the Mothers of Invention , Freak Out ! , combined songs in conventional rock and roll format with collective improvisations and studio-generated sound collages . He continued this eclectic and experimental approach , irrespective of whether the fundamental format was rock , jazz or classical . Zappa 's output is unified by a conceptual continuity he termed `` Project/Object '' , with numerous musical phrases , ideas , and characters reappearing across his albums . His lyrics reflected his iconoclastic views of established social and political processes , structures and movements , often humorously so . He was a strident critic of mainstream education and organized religion , and a forthright and passionate advocate for freedom of speech , self-education , political participation and the abolition of censorship . Unlike many other rock musicians of his era , he personally disapproved of and seldom used drugs , but supported their decriminalization and regulation . During Zappa 's lifetime , he was a highly productive and prolific artist , earning widespread acclaim from critics and fellow musicians . He had some commercial success , particularly in Europe , and worked as an independent artist for most of his career . He remains a major influence on musicians and composers . His honors include an induction into the 1995 Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the 1997 Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award . In 2000 , he was ranked number 36 on VH1 's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock . In 2004 , Rolling Stone magazine ranked him at number 71 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest Artists of All Time '' , and in 2011 at number 22 on its list of the `` 100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time '' .

Cable television is a system of delivering television programming to paying subscribers via radio frequency ( RF ) signals transmitted through coaxial cables , or in more recent systems , light pulses through fiber-optic cables . This contrasts with broadcast television , in which the television signal is transmitted over the air by radio waves and received by a television antenna attached to the television . FM radio programming , high-speed Internet , telephone services , and similar non-television services may also be provided through these cables . Analog television was standard in the 20th century , but since the 2000s , cable systems have been upgraded to digital cable operation . A `` cable channel '' ( sometimes known as a `` cable network '' ) is a television network available via cable television . When available through satellite television , including direct broadcast satellite providers such as DirecTV , Dish Network and BSkyB , as well as via IPTV providers such as Verizon FIOS and AT&T U-verse is referred to as a `` satellite channel '' . Alternative terms include `` non-broadcast channel '' or `` programming service '' , the latter being mainly used in legal contexts . Examples of cable/satellite channels/cable networks available in many countries are HBO , MTV , Cartoon Network , E! , Eurosport and CNN International . The abbreviation CATV is often used for cable television . It originally stood for Community Access Television or Community Antenna Television , from cable television 's origins in 1948 . In areas where over-the-air TV reception was limited by distance from transmitters or mountainous terrain , large `` community antennas '' were constructed , and cable was run from them to individual homes . The origins of cable broadcasting for radio are even older as radio programming was distributed by cable in some European cities as far back as 1924 .

Pal Joey is a 1957 American Technicolor musical film , loosely adapted from the musical play of the same name , and starring Rita Hayworth , Frank Sinatra , and Kim Novak . Jo Ann Greer sang for Hayworth , as she had done previously in Affair in Trinidad and Miss Sadie Thompson . Kim Novak 's singing voice was dubbed by Trudy Erwin . George Sidney directed , with the choreography managed by Hermes Pan . Nelson Riddle handled the musical arrangements for the Rodgers and Hart standards `` The Lady is a Tramp '' , `` I Did n't Know What Time It Was , '' `` I Could Write a Book '' and `` There 's A Small Hotel . '' Sinatra won the Golden Globe Award for Best Actor - Motion Picture Musical or Comedy for his role as the wise-cracking , hard-bitten Joey Evans . Along with its strong box office success , Pal Joey also earned four Academy Award nominations and one Golden Globe nomination . Pal Joey is one of Sinatra 's few post-From Here to Eternity movies in which he did not receive top billing , which surprisingly went to Hayworth . Sinatra was , by that time , a bigger star , and his title role was predominant . When asked about the billing , Sinatra replied , `` Ladies first . '' He was also quoted as saying that , as it was a Columbia film , Hayworth should have top billing because , `` For years , she WAS Columbia Pictures '' , and that with regard to being billed `` between '' Hayworth and Novak , `` That 's a sandwich I do n't mind being stuck in the middle of . '' As Columbia 's biggest star , Hayworth had been top billed in every film since Cover Girl in 1944 , but her tenure was soon to end , in 1959 with Gary Cooper in They Came to Cordura .

Smile_(The_Beach_Boys_album)

0

Smile ( stylized as SMiLE ) was a projected album by American rock band the Beach Boys intended to follow their 11th studio album , Pet Sounds ( 1966 ) . After bandleader Brian Wilson abandoned large portions of music recorded over a ten-month period , the band substituted its release with Smiley Smile ( 1967 ) , an album containing stripped-down remakes of some Smile material . Some of the original Smile tracks eventually found their way onto subsequent Beach Boys ' studio and compilation albums . As more fans learned of the project 's origins , details of its recordings acquired considerable mystique , and it was later acknowledged as the most legendary unreleased album in the history of popular music . Working with lyricist Van Dyke Parks , Smile was composed as a multi-thematic concept album , existing today in its unfinished and fragmented state as an unordered series of abstract musical vignettes . Its genesis came during the recording of Pet Sounds , when Wilson began recording a new single , `` Good Vibrations '' . The track was created by an unprecedented recording technique : over 90 hours of tape was recorded , spliced , and reduced into a three-minute pop song . It quickly became the band 's biggest international hit yet ; Smile was to be produced in a similar fashion . Wilson touted the album as `` a teenage symphony to God '' , incorporating a range of music styles including psychedelic , doo-wop , barbershop singing , ragtime , yodeling , early American folk , classical music , and avant-garde explorations into noise and musical acoustics . Its projected singles were `` Heroes and Villains '' , a Western musical comedy , and `` Vega-Tables '' , a satire of physical fitness . The album 's collapse has been attributed to several personal , technical , and legal issues which surrounded its making . The majority of its backing tracks were completed between August and December 1966 . A deadline set for January 1967 was missed , and Parks soon distanced himself from the project . In June , the Beach Boys reconvened at Brian 's makeshift home studio to record Smiley Smile . Many attempts were then made to complete the original Smile , most of which were derailed by Wilson , who became psychologically traumatized by the album . It was in the 1980s when bootlegged tracks from Smile began circulating widely among record collectors , encouraging others to assemble their own versions using what surviving recordings were available . The potential of what Smile could have been inspired many musicians , particularly those in indie rock , while the album 's saga became a touchstone for chamber pop and the more art-inclined sectors of post-punk . As a solo artist , Wilson reinterpreted the project for concert performances in 2004 , and then followed up with the studio album Brian Wilson Presents Smile . Although he had ostensibly completed the work , Wilson clarified that his 2004 arrangement differed substantially from how he had first conceptualized the album during the 1960s . On October 31 , 2011 , The Smile Sessions was released containing an approximation of what the Beach Boys ' completed Smile might have sounded like based on the structure of Brian Wilson Presents Smile . It received universal acclaim . In 2012 , the compilation was ranked number 381 in Rolling Stone 's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list . In 2013 , it won the Best Historical Album award at the 55th Grammy Awards .

The_Concert_for_Bangladesh

The Concert for Bangladesh ( or Bangla Desh , as the country was originally spelled ) was the collective name for two benefit concerts organised by former Beatles lead guitarist George Harrison and Indian sitar master Ravi Shankar . The concerts were held at 2:30 and 8:00 pm on Sunday , 1 August 1971 , at Madison Square Garden in New York City . The shows were organised to raise international awareness and fund relief efforts for refugees from East Pakistan ( now Bangladesh ) , following the Bangladesh Liberation War-related genocide . The concerts were followed by a bestselling live album , a boxed three-record set , and Apple Films ' concert documentary , which opened in cinemas in the spring of 1972 . The event was the first-ever benefit concert of such a magnitude and featured a supergroup of performers that included Harrison , fellow ex-Beatle Ringo Starr , Bob Dylan , Eric Clapton , Billy Preston , Leon Russell and the band Badfinger . In addition , Shankar and Ali Akbar Khan -- both of whom had ancestral roots in Bangladesh -- performed an opening set of Indian classical music . Decades later , Shankar would say of the overwhelming success of the event : `` In one day , the whole world knew the name of Bangladesh . It was a fantastic occasion ... '' The concerts were attended by a total of 40,000 people , and raised close to US$ 250,000 for Bangladesh relief , which was administered by UNICEF . Although the project was subsequently marred by financial problems -- a result of the pioneering nature of the venture -- the Concert for Bangladesh is recognised as a highly successful and influential humanitarian aid project , generating both awareness and considerable funds as well as providing valuable lessons and inspiration for projects that followed , notably Live Aid . By 1985 , through revenue raised from the Concert for Bangladesh live album and film , an estimated $ 12 million had been sent to Bangladesh in relief . Sales of the live album and DVD release of the film continue to benefit the George Harrison Fund for UNICEF .

Military_dictatorship

0

A military dictatorship ( also known as a military junta ) is a form of government different from civilian dictatorship for a number of reasons : their motivations for seizing power , the institutions through which they organize their rule , and the ways in which they leave power . Often viewing itself as saving the nation from the corrupt or myopic civilian politicians , a military dictatorship justifies its position as `` neutral '' arbiters on the basis of their membership within the armed forces . For example , many juntas adopt titles , such as `` National Redemption Council '' , `` Committee of National Restoration '' , or `` National Liberation Committee '' . Military leaders often rule as a junta , selecting one of them as the head .

Armenian_Genocide

The Armenian Genocide ( Հայոց ցեղասպանություն , Hayots tseghaspanutyun ) , also known as the Armenian Holocaust , was the Ottoman government 's systematic extermination of 1.5 million Armenians , mostly Ottoman citizens within the Ottoman Empire and its successor state , the Republic of Turkey . The starting date is conventionally held to be 24 April 1915 , the day that Ottoman authorities rounded up , arrested , and deported 235 to 270 Armenian intellectuals and community leaders from Constantinople to the region of Ankara , the majority of whom were eventually murdered . The genocide was carried out during and after World War I and implemented in two phases : the wholesale killing of the able-bodied male population through massacre and subjection of army conscripts to forced labour , followed by the deportation of women , children , the elderly , and the infirm on death marches leading to the Syrian desert . Driven forward by military escorts , the deportees were deprived of food and water and subjected to periodic robbery , rape , and massacre . Other indigenous and Christian ethnic groups such as the Assyrians and the Ottoman Greeks were similarly targeted for extermination by the Ottoman government in the Assyrian genocide and the Greek genocide , and their treatment is considered by some historians to be part of the same genocidal policy . Most Armenian diaspora communities around the world came into being as a direct result of the genocide . Raphael Lemkin was explicitly moved by the Armenian annihilation , to define systematic and premeditated exterminations within legal parameters and to coin the word genocide in 1943 . The Armenian Genocide is acknowledged to have been one of the first modern genocides , because scholars point to the organized manner in which the killings were carried out in order to eliminate the Armenians , and it is the second most-studied case of genocide after the Holocaust . Turkey , the successor state of the Ottoman Empire , denies the word genocide as an accurate term for the mass killings of Armenians that began under Ottoman rule in 1915 . It has in recent years been faced with repeated calls to recognize them as genocide . To date , 29 countries and 46 US states have officially recognized the mass killings as genocide , as have most genocide scholars and historians .

Mughal_Empire

The Mughal Empire or Mogul Empire , self-designated as Gurkani ( گورکانیان , Gūrkāniyān , meaning `` son-in-law '' ) , was an empire in the Indian subcontinent , established and ruled by a Muslim Turkic dynasty of Chagatai origin from Central Asia . The dynasty , though ethnically Turco-Mongol , was Persianate in culture , with local influences visible in its traits and customs . The Mughal empire extended over large parts of the Indian subcontinent and Afghanistan . The empire at its peak was the second largest to have existed in the Indian subcontinent , spanning 4 million square kilometres at its zenith after the Maurya Empire which spanned 5 million square kilometres . The beginning of the empire is conventionally dated to the victory by its founder Babur over Ibrahim Lodi , the last ruler of the Delhi Sultanate , in the First Battle of Panipat ( 1526 ) . The Mughal emperors were Central Asian Turco-Mongols belonging to the Timurid dynasty , who claimed direct descent from both Genghis Khan ( founder of the Mongol Empire , through his son Chagatai Khan ) and Timur ( Turco-Mongol conqueror who founded the Timurid Empire ) . During the reign of Humayun , the successor of Babur , the empire was briefly interrupted by the Sur Empire . The `` classic period '' of the Mughal Empire started in 1556 with the ascension of Akbar the Great to the throne . Under the rule of Akbar and his son Jahangir , the region enjoyed economic progress as well as religious harmony , and the monarchs were interested in local religious and cultural traditions . Akbar was a successful warrior who also forged alliances with several Hindu Rajput kingdoms . Some Rajput kingdoms continued to pose a significant threat to the Mughal dominance of northwestern India , but most of them were subdued by Akbar . All Mughal emperors were Muslims ; while Akbar was Muslim most of his life , he propounded a syncretic religion in the latter part of his life called Dīn-i Ilāhī , as recorded in historical books like Ain-i-Akbari and Dabistān-i Mazāhib . The Mughal Empire did not try to intervene in the local societies during most of its existence , but rather balanced and pacified them through new administrative practices and diverse and inclusive ruling elites , leading to more systematic , centralised , and uniform rule . Traditional and newly coherent social groups in northern and western India , such as the Marathas , the Rajputs , the Pashtuns , the Hindu Jats and the Sikhs , gained military and governing ambitions during Mughal rule , which , through collaboration or adversity , gave them both recognition and military experience . The reign of Shah Jahan , the fifth emperor , between 1628 and 1658 was the golden age of Mughal architecture . He erected several large monuments , the best known of which is the Taj Mahal at Agra , as well as the Moti Masjid , Agra , the Red Fort , the Jama Masjid , Delhi , and the Lahore Fort . The Mughal Empire reached the zenith of its territorial expanse during the reign of Aurangzeb and also started its terminal decline in his reign due to Maratha military resurgence under Shivaji Bhosale . During his lifetime , victories in the south expanded the Mughal Empire to more than 3.2 million square kilometres ( 1.2 million square miles ) , ruling over more than 150 million subjects , nearly one quarter of the world 's population at the time , with a combined GDP of over $ 90 billion . By the mid-18th century , the Marathas had routed Mughal armies and won over several Mughal provinces from the Punjab to Bengal . Internal dissatisfaction arose due to the weakness of the empire 's administrative and economic systems , leading to its break-up and declarations of independence of its former provinces by the Nawab of Bengal , the Nawab of Awadh , the Nizam of Hyderabad and other small states . In 1739 , the Mughals were crushingly defeated in the Battle of Karnal by the forces of Nader Shah , the founder of the Afsharid dynasty in Persia , and Delhi was sacked and looted , drastically accelerating their decline . During the following century Mughal power had become severely limited , and the last emperor , Bahadur Shah II , had authority over only the city of Shahjahanabad . He issued a firman supporting the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and following the defeat was therefore tried by the British East India Company for treason , imprisoned and exiled to Rangoon . The last remnants of the empire were formally taken over by the British , and the Government of India Act 1858 let the British Crown formally assume direct control of India in the form of the new British Raj .

Records ( formerly known as Murder Inc Records ) wrote and was featured on a new version of the song entitled `` I 'm Real ( Murder Remix ) '' , which was featured on a re-issue of J.Lo in July 2001 , on Lopez 's remix album J to tha L -- O ! The Remixes ( 2002 ) , and Ja Rule 's third studio album Pain Is Love ( 2001 ) . The original album version was well received by music critics , who complimented the 1980s-esque style and composition , while the remix received mixed reviews for its lyrics . However , both songs have been appreciated for the use of the samples . The `` Murder Remix '' topped the Billboard Hot 100 for five non-consecutive weeks , beginning September 8 , 2001 , and also topped the Hot 100 Airplay chart . The two songs are essentially different songs with the same title . Much controversy followed the song after its release . Two music videos were made for the track , with the first depicting Lopez driving a motorcycle throughout the highway and featuring a dance-break , while the second video features Ja Rule and Irv Gotti .

Voice acting is the art of doing voice-overs or providing voices to represent a character or to provide information to an audience or user . Examples include animated , off-stage , off-screen or non-visible characters in various works , including feature films , dubbed foreign language films , animated short films , television programs , commercials , radio or audio dramas , comedy , video games , puppet shows , amusement rides , audiobooks , and documentaries . Voice acting is also done for small handheld audio games . Performers are called voice actors or actresses , voice artists , or voice talent . Their roles may also involve singing , although a second voice actor is sometimes cast as the character 's singing voice . Voice acting is recognised in Britain as a specialized dramatic profession , chiefly owing to the BBC 's long tradition of radio drama . Voice artists are also used to record the individual sample fragments played back by a computer in an automated announcement .

The President of India serves as the Supreme Commander of the Indian Army , and it is commanded by the Chief of Army Staff ( COAS ) , who is a four-star general . Two officers have been conferred with the rank of field marshal , a five-star rank , which is a ceremonial position of great honour . The Indian Army originated from the armies of the East India Company , which eventually became the British Indian Army , and the armies of the princely states , which finally became the national army after independence . The units and regiments of the Indian Army have diverse histories and have participated in a number of battles and campaigns across the world , earning a large number of battle and theatre honours before and after Independence . The primary mission of the Indian Army is to ensure national security and nationhood unity , defending the nation from external aggression and internal threats , and maintaining peace and security within its borders . It conducts humanitarian rescue operations during natural calamities and other disturbances , like Operation Surya Hope , and can also be requisitioned by the government to cope with internal threats . It is a major component of national power alongside the Indian Navy and the Indian Air Force . The army has been involved in four wars with neighbouring Pakistan and one with China . Other major operations undertaken by the army include Operation Vijay , Operation Meghdoot and Operation Cactus . Apart from conflicts , the army has conducted large peace time exercises like Operation Brasstacks and Exercise Shoorveer , and it has also been an active participant in numerous United Nations peacekeeping missions including the ones in Cyprus , Lebanon , Congo , Angola , Cambodia , Vietnam , Namibia , El Salvador , Liberia , Mozambique and Somalia . The Indian Army has a regimental system , but is operationally and geographically divided into seven commands , with the basic field formation being a division . It is an all-volunteer force and comprises more than 80 % of the country 's active defence personnel . It is the 2nd largest standing army in the world , with 1,200,255 active troops and 990,960 reserve troops .

Reign_of_Terror

0

The Reign of Terror or The Terror ( la Terreur ) is the label given by some historians to a period during the French Revolution , in an apparent attempt to retorically discredit or ` curse ' the politics and events especially during the dominating presence ( July 1793 -- July 1794 ) of Maximilien Robespierre on the Committee of Public Safety -- the de facto executive government of Revolutionary France . Several historians consider ` reign of terror ' to have begun in 1793 , placing the starting date at either 5 September , June or March ( birth of the Revolutionary Tribunal ) , while some consider it to have begun in September 1792 ( September Massacres ) , or even July 1789 ( when the first decapitations took place ) , but there is a general consensus that it ended with the fall of Robespierre in July 1794 . Between June 1793 and the end of July 1794 , there were 16,594 official death sentences in France , of which 2,639 were in Paris . However , the total number of deaths in France was much higher , owing to death in imprisonment , suicide and casualties in foreign and civil war .

Death_of_Adolf_Hitler

Adolf Hitler killed himself by gunshot on 30 April 1945 in his Führerbunker in Berlin . His wife Eva Braun committed suicide with him by taking cyanide . That afternoon , in accordance with Hitler 's prior instructions , their remains were carried up the stairs through the bunker 's emergency exit , doused in petrol , and set alight in the Reich Chancellery garden outside the bunker . Records in the Soviet archives show that their burnt remains were recovered and interred in successive locations until 1970 , when they were again exhumed , cremated , and the ashes scattered . Accounts differ as to the cause of death ; one states that he died by poison only and another that he died by a self-inflicted gunshot while biting down on a cyanide capsule . Contemporary historians have rejected these accounts as being either Soviet propaganda or an attempted compromise in order to reconcile the different conclusions . One eye-witness recorded that the body showed signs of having been shot through the mouth , but this has been proven unlikely . There is also controversy regarding the authenticity of skull and jaw fragments which were recovered . In 2009 , American researchers performed DNA tests on a skull Soviet officials had long believed to be Hitler 's . The tests and examination revealed that the skull was actually that of a woman less than 40 years old . The jaw fragments which had been recovered were not tested .

Food_fortification

Food fortification or enrichment is the process of adding micronutrients ( essential trace elements and vitamins ) to food . It may be a purely commercial choice to provide extra nutrients in a food , while other times it is a public health policy which aims to reduce the number of people with dietary deficiencies within a population . Diets that lack variety can be deficient in certain nutrients . Sometimes the staple foods of a region can lack particular nutrients , due to the soil of the region or because of the inherent inadequacy of the normal diet . Addition of micronutrients to staples and condiments can prevent large-scale deficiency diseases in these cases . While it is true that both fortification and enrichment refer to the addition of nutrients to food , the true definitions do slightly vary . As defined by the World Health Organization ( WHO ) and the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Nations ( FAO ) , fortification refers to `` the practice of deliberately increasing the content of an essential micronutrient , ie . vitamins and minerals ( including trace elements ) in a food irrespective of whether the nutrients were originally in the food before processing or not , so as to improve the nutritional quality of the food supply and to provide a public health benefit with minimal risk to health '' , whereas enrichment is defined as `` synonymous with fortification and refers to the addition of micronutrients to a food which are lost during processing '' . Food fortification was identified as the second strategy of four by the WHO and FAO to begin decreasing the incidence of nutrient deficiencies at the global level . As outlined by the FAO , the most common fortified foods are : Cereals and cereal based products Milk and Milk products Fats and oils Accessory food items Tea and other beverages Infant formulas

Iraq ( -LSB- ɪˈræk -RSB- , -LSB- ɪˈrɑːk -RSB- , or -LSB- aɪˈræk -RSB- العراق ; عێراق ) , officially known as the Republic of Iraq is a country in Western Asia , bordered by Turkey to the north , Iran to the east , Kuwait to the southeast , Saudi Arabia to the south , Jordan to the southwest , and Syria to the west . The capital , and largest city , is Baghdad . The main ethnic groups are Arabs and Kurds ; others include Assyrians , Turkmen , Shabakis , Yazidis , Armenians , Mandeans , Circassians , and Kawliya . Around 95 % of the country 's 36 million citizens are Muslims , with Christianity , Yarsan , Yezidism , and Mandeanism also present . The official languages of Iraq are Arabic and Kurdish . Iraq has a coastline measuring 58 km on the northern Persian Gulf and encompasses the Mesopotamian Alluvial Plain , the northwestern end of the Zagros mountain range , and the eastern part of the Syrian Desert . Two major rivers , the Tigris and Euphrates , run south through Iraq and into the Shatt al-Arab near the Persian Gulf . These rivers provide Iraq with significant amounts of fertile land . The region between the Tigris and Euphrates rivers , historically known as Mesopotamia , is often referred to as the cradle of civilisation . It was here that mankind first began to read , write , create laws , and live in cities under an organised government -- notably Uruk , from which `` Iraq '' is derived . The area has been home to successive civilisations since the 6th millennium BC . Iraq was the centre of the Akkadian , Sumerian , Assyrian , and Babylonian empires . It was also part of the Median , Achaemenid , Hellenistic , Parthian , Sassanid , Roman , Rashidun , Umayyad , Abbasid , Ayyubid , Mongol , Safavid , Afsharid , and Ottoman empires . Iraq 's modern borders were mostly demarcated in 1920 by the League of Nations when the Ottoman Empire was divided by the Treaty of Sèvres . Iraq was placed under the authority of the United Kingdom as the British Mandate of Mesopotamia . A monarchy was established in 1921 and the Kingdom of Iraq gained independence from Britain in 1932 . In 1958 , the monarchy was overthrown and the Iraqi Republic created . Iraq was controlled by the Arab Socialist Ba'ath Party from 1968 until 2003 . After an invasion by the United States and its allies in 2003 , Saddam Hussein 's Ba'ath Party was removed from power and multi-party parliamentary elections were held in 2005 . The American presence in Iraq ended in 2011 , but the Iraqi insurgency continued and intensified as fighters from the Syrian Civil War spilled into the country .

The Navy Lark is a radio sit-com about life aboard a British Royal Navy frigate named HMS Troutbridge , ( a play on HMS Troubridge , a Royal Navy destroyer ) based in HMNB Portsmouth . In series 1 and 2 , the ship and crew were stationed offshore at an unnamed location known simply as `` The Island '' . In series 2 this island was revealed to be owned by Lt. Cdr . Stanton . The programme was transmitted on the BBC Light Programme and subsequently BBC Radio 2 . It was produced by Alastair Scott Johnston . Jon Pertwee is frequently quoted as having suggested the idea of a forces comedy based on the Royal Navy , but writer Laurie Wyman and Alastair Scott Johnston both contemplated an Air Force and an Army themed sit-com before going to the BBC with ` The Navy Lark ' . Laurie Wyman included ideas based on excuses for late return from leave and other misdemeanours from HMS Troubridge bulletins . He worked with George Evans ( Pertwee 's personal scriptwriter ) from quite early on , but Alastair Scott Johnston did not want him named until the 12th series onwards . For most of its run , it starred Leslie Phillips , Jon Pertwee and Stephen Murray , whose names rotated in order of precedence every episode over the entire 15 season run . Episodes of the Navy Lark series are still replayed in rotation on BBC Radio 4 Extra , and made available for delayed listening through their iPlayer service .

Alternate_history

Alternate history or alternative history ( British English ) , sometimes abbreviated as AH , is a genre of fiction consisting of stories in which one or more historical events occur differently . These stories usually contain `` what if '' scenarios at crucial points in history and present outcomes other than those in the historical record . The stories are conjectural , but are sometimes based on fact . Alternate history can be seen as a subgenre of literary fiction , science fiction , or historical fiction ; alternate history works may use tropes from any or all of these genres . Another term occasionally used for the genre is `` allohistory '' ( literally `` other history '' ) . Since the 1950s , this type of fiction has , to a large extent , merged with science fiction tropes involving time travel between alternate histories , psychic awareness of the existence of one universe by the people in another , or time travel that results in history splitting into two or more timelines . Cross-time , time-splitting , and alternate history themes have become so closely interwoven that it is impossible to discuss them fully apart from one another . In French , Italian , Spanish , Catalan and German , the genre of alternate history is sometimes called uchronie / ucronia / ucronía / Uchronie , which has given rise to the term Uchronia in English . This neologism is based on the prefix ου - ( which in Ancient Greek means `` not/not any/no '' ) and the Greek χρόνος ( chronos ) , meaning `` time . '' A uchronia means literally '' ( in ) no time . '' This term apparently also inspired the name of the alternate history book list , uchronia.net .

Pan 's Labyrinth ( -LSB- El laberinto del fauno , lit = The Labyrinth of the Faun -RSB- ) is a 2006 Spanish-Mexican dark fantasy film written and directed by Mexican filmmaker Guillermo del Toro . It was produced and distributed by Esperanto Films . The story takes place in Spain in May -- June 1944 , five years after the Spanish Civil War , during the early Francoist period . The narrative of the film intertwines this real world with a mythical world centered on an overgrown abandoned labyrinth and a mysterious faun creature , with whom the main character , Ofelia , interacts . Ofelia 's stepfather , the Falangist Captain Vidal , hunts the Spanish Maquis who fight against the Francoist regime in the region , while Ofelia 's pregnant mother Carmen grows increasingly ill . Ofelia meets several strange and magical creatures who become central to her story , leading her through the trials of the old labyrinth garden . The film employs make-up , animatronics , and CGI effects to bring life to its creatures . Del Toro stated that he considers the story to be a parable , influenced by fairy tales , and that it addresses and continues themes related to his earlier film The Devil 's Backbone ( 2001 ) , to which Pan 's Labyrinth is a spiritual successor , according to del Toro in his director 's commentary on the DVD . The original Spanish title refers to the fauns of Roman mythology , while the English , German , and French titles refer specifically to the faun-like Greek deity Pan . However , del Toro has stated that the faun in the film is not Pan . The film premiered at the 2006 Cannes Film Festival . It was released in the United Kingdom on 24 November 2006 . In the United States and Canada , the film was given a limited release on 29 December 2006 , with a wide release on 19 January 2007 . Pan 's Labyrinth opened to widespread critical acclaim . The film won numerous international awards , including three Academy Awards , three BAFTA Awards including Best Film Not in the English Language , the Ariel Award for Best Picture , the Saturn Awards for Best International Film and Best Performance by a Younger Actor for Ivana Baquero and the 2007 Hugo Award for Best Dramatic Presentation , Long Form .
