He died of cancer in 1992. Herman's granddaughter is Cheri Daniels, wife of former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels.

William Jennings Bryan Herman (July 7, 1909 – September 5, 1992) was an American second baseman and manager in Major League Baseball (MLB) during the 1930s and 1940s.

Si Johnson, Herman chopped a pitch into the back of home plate, which then bounced up and hit Herman in the back of the head, knocking him out.

Herman moved to Palm Beach Gardens, Florida in 1968.

After a sub-standard offensive year in 1940, Herman was traded to the Brooklyn Dodgers in 1941.

A fixture in the Chicago lineup over the next decade, Herman was a consistent hitter and solid producer.

Herman was promptly named playing manager of the 1947 Pirates, but he was aghast at the cost—Elliott—the Pirates had paid for him.

Herman holds the NL records for most putouts in a season by a second baseman and led the league in putouts seven times.

Herman broke into the majors in 1931 with the Chicago Cubs and asserted himself as a star the following season, 1932, by hitting .314 and scoring 102 runs.

Herman missed the 1944 and 1945 seasons to serve in World War II, but returned to play in 1946 with the Dodgers and Boston Braves (after being traded mid-season).

Billy Herman passed in 1992.


Unlike her husband, she had difficulty securing research positions, and the ones she obtained provided meager pay.

Despite her research background, Gerty was only offered a position as a research associate at a salary one tenth of that received by her husband; she was warned that she might harm her husband's career.

She remained active in the research laboratory until the end of her life.

They published fifty papers while at Roswell, with first author status going to the one who had done most of the research for a given paper.

Gerty was informed during one university interview that it was considered "unamerican" for a married couple to work together.

He continued to work there until his death in 1984 at the age of eighty-eight.

They received one half the prize, the other half going to the Argentinian physiologist, Bernardo Houssay "for his discovery of the part played by the hormone of the anterior pituitary lobe in the metabolism of sugar".

Gerty Cori was born Gerty Theresa Radnitz into a Jewish family in Prague in 1896.

She was appointed by President Harry S. Truman as board member of the National Science Foundation, a position she held until her death.

Months before she won the Nobel Prize, she was promoted to full professor, a post she held until her death in 1957.While working at Washington University, they discovered an intermediate compound in frog muscles that enabled the breakdown of glycogen, called glucose 1-phosphate, now known as the Cori ester.

Gerty Theresa Cori remained unmarried so she could focus on her research on glycogen which she remained active on until her death at 63.


Organizers called the demonstrators the "Bonus Expeditionary Force", to echo the name of World War

I veterans, together with their families and affiliated groups – who gathered in Washington, D.C. in mid-1932 to demand early cash redemption of their service certificates.

The Bonus Army was a group of 43,000 demonstrators – made up of 17,000 U.S. World War

Each veteran was to receive a dollar for each day of domestic service, up to a maximum of $500 (equivalent to $7,500 in 2019), and $1.25 for each day of overseas service, up to a maximum of $625 (equivalent to $9,300 in 2019).

I veterans to receive their cash bonus.

Meanwhile, veterans could borrow up to 22.5% of the certificate's face value from the fund; but in 1931, because of the Great Depression, Congress increased the maximum value of such loans to 50% of the certificate's face value.

Shortly after 9 pm, MacArthur ordered Miles to cross the bridge and evict the Bonus Army from its encampment.

I's American Expeditionary Forces, while the media referred to them as the "Bonus Army" or "Bonus Marchers".

Breaking with tradition, the veterans of the Spanish–American War did not receive a bonus and after World War I, that became a political matter when they received only a $60 bonus.

The Bonus Army massed at the U.S. Capitol on June 17 as the U.S. Senate voted on the Bonus Bill.

During the presidential campaign of 1932, Roosevelt had opposed the veterans' bonus demands.

The principal demand of the Bonus Army was the immediate cash payment of their certificates.

The Bonus Army was made up of veterans mostly.


Anne has just returned from seeing her husband off to Camp Claiborne, and she and her daughters must adjust to Tim's absence and make other sacrifices for the war effort, including food rationing; planting a victory garden; giving up the services of their loyal maid Fidelia who nevertheless offers to continue working part-time for the Hiltons while foregoing wages; and taking in a boarder, the curmudgeonly retired Colonel Smollett.

It is an epic about the American home front during World War II that was adapted and produced by David O. Selznick from the 1943 novel Since You Went Away: Letters to a Soldier from His Wife by Margaret Buell Wilder.

The movie was popular and earned $4,950,000 in North American rentals during its theatrical release, and over $7 million in rentals overall.

Though famously sentimental in places, Since You Went Away is somber at times about the effects of war on ordinary people.

Since You Went Away was released to DVD by MGM Home Video on October 19, 2004 in a Region 1

Since You Went Away is a 1944 American drama film directed by John Cromwell for Selznick International Pictures and distributed by United Artists.

Some characters on the homefront are dealing with grief, loneliness, or fear for the future.

Jones and Walker played young sweethearts in Since You Went Away, but in real life, they were married at the time and going through a bitter break-up due to Jones' ongoing affair with producer Selznick.

The town is near a military base, and some of the characters are troops serving Stateside.

Jane and Anne finally tell off Emily Hawkins after Emily suggests that it is unseemly for Jane to volunteer at the hospital, and Anne decides she herself must do more to help and trains as a welder for defense work at the shipyard.

The characters in the movie Since You Went Away grow vegetables to do their part to help their country during the war.


He also owned the New York Yankees of Major League Baseball from 1915 until his death in 1939.

The Yankees purchased star pitcher-outfielder Babe Ruth from the Red Sox in 1919, which made the Yankees a profitable franchise.

The hiring of Huggins drove a wedge between the two co-owners that culminated in Huston selling his shares of the team to Ruppert in 1922.Ruppert and Huston purchased pitcher Carl Mays from the Boston Red Sox in 1918, in direct opposition of an order issued by Johnson.

Ruppert grew up in the Jacob Ruppert Sr. House on Fifth Avenue.

Upon his father's death in 1915, Ruppert inherited the Jacob Ruppert Brewing Company and became the company's president.

An apocryphal story says that Ruppert is responsible for the Yankees' famous pinstriped uniforms; according to this account, Ruppert chose pinstripes to make the often-portly Ruth appear less obese, but the uniform was in fact introduced in 1912.A beer was named after Ruppert, as were Ruppert Stadium in Newark, New Jersey.

Ruppert was born in New York City, the son of brewer Jacob Ruppert Sr., and his wife, the former Anna Gillig.

Ruppert Park in Manhattan, is part of the Ruppert Yorkville Towers housing complex was built on the site the brewery in Yorkville, Manhattan.

Ruppert bought the Newark Bears who played at Ruppert Stadium in Newark, New Jersey, and begin building the Yankees' farm system.

Ruppert and Ruth had public disagreements about Ruth's contracts.

Ruppert was not a candidate for reelection in 1906, and he left office in 1907.

Ruppert co-owned the Red Sox.


The novel centres on the Ramsay family and their visits to the Isle of Skye in Scotland between 1910 and 1920.

The trip almost does not happen, as the children are not ready, but they eventually set off.

While they set sail for the lighthouse, Lily attempts to finally complete the painting she has held in her mind since the start of the novel.

In the final section, "The Lighthouse", some of the remaining Ramsays and other guests return to their summer home ten years after the events of Part I. Mr Ramsay finally plans on taking the long-delayed trip to the lighthouse with daughter Cam(illa) and son James (the remaining Ramsay children are virtually unmentioned in the final section).

Upon finishing the painting (just as the sailing party reaches the lighthouse) and seeing that it satisfies her, she realises that the execution of her vision is more important to her than the idea of leaving some sort of legacy in her work.

To the Lighthouse is a 1927 novel by Virginia Woolf.

The section begins with Mrs Ramsay assuring her son James that they should be able to visit the lighthouse on the next day.

Shifts can occur even mid-sentence, and in some sense they resemble the rotating beam of the lighthouse itself.

The location of the main story in To the Lighthouse, the house on the Hebridean island, was formed by Woolf in imitation of Talland House.

In office he withdrew military troops from the South, ending Army support for Republican state governments in the South and for the efforts of African-American freedmen to establish their families as free citizens.

The Republican Party nominated Hayes as its candidate for the presidency in 1876, where he won through the Compromise of 1877 that officially ended Reconstruction by leaving the South to govern itself.

The Rio de Janeiro state government initiated a restoration effort to replace some of the outer soapstone layers and repair the lightning rods on the statue.

oil company Shell do Brasil, environmental regulator IBAMA, National Institute of Historic and Artistic Heritage, and the city government of Rio de Janeiro entered an agreement to conduct restoration work.

The statue weighs 635 metric tons (625 long, 700 short tons), and is located at the peak of the 700-metre (2,300 ft) Corcovado mountain in the Tijuca Forest National Park overlooking the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Earth, Wind & Fire (abbreviated as EW&F or simply EWF) is an American band that has spanned the musical genres of R&B, soul, funk, jazz, disco, pop, rock, dance, Latin, and Afro pop.

Based on this, he changed the band's name, to "Earth, Wind & Fire".

This was a jukebox musical with its theme the music of Earth, Wind & Fire.

Davis was soon replaced by Jessica Cleaves, a former member of the R&B group The Friends of Distinction.

The Viet Minh, a Communist-led common front under the leadership of Ho Chi Minh, then initiated an insurgency against French rule.

North Vietnam was supported by the Soviet Union, China, and other communist allies; South Vietnam was supported by the United States, South Korea, the Philippines, Australia, Thailand and other anti-communist allies.

Aftermath | Effect on the United States | Views on the war

Who was Ho Chi Minh? Nobody really knew.

Vietnamization, 1969–1972 | Hanoi's war strategy

In September 1969, Ho Chi Minh died at age seventy-nine.

In a statement similar to that made to the French almost two decades earlier, Ho Chi Minh warned that if the Americans "want to make war for twenty years then we shall make war for twenty years.

Building up on the success of ARVN units in Cambodia, and further testing the Vietnamization program, the ARVN were tasked to launch Operation Lam Son 719 in February 1971, the first major ground operation aimed directly at attacking the Ho Chi Minh trail by attacking the major crossroad of Tchepone.

Johnson's escalation, 1963–1969 | Bombing of Laos

These included the Ho Chi Minh trail supply route, which ran through Laos and Cambodia.

Ho Chi Minh had wished to continue the war in the south, but was restrained by his Chinese allies who convinced him that he could win control by electoral means.

U.S. President Dwight D. Eisenhower wrote in 1954,  I have never talked or corresponded with a person knowledgeable in Indochinese affairs who did not agree that had elections been held as of the time of the fighting, possibly eighty percent of the population would have voted for the Communist Ho Chi Minh as their leader rather than Chief of State Bảo Đại.

U.S. exit and final campaigns, 1973–1975

With U.S. bombings suspended, work on the Ho Chi Minh trail and other logistical structures could proceed unimpeded.

Likewise, Ho Chi Minh and other communist officials always won at least 99% of the vote in North Vietnamese "elections".

Vietnam War first started with the French with Ho Chi Minh as the leader and later the United States .


Definition and properties | Average acceleration

divided by the duration of the period (         Δ         t         ) {\displaystyle (\Delta t)}   .

Acceleration has the dimensions of velocity (L/T) divided by time, i.e. L T−2.

where F is the net force acting on the body, m is  the mass of the body, and a is the center-of-mass acceleration.

In classical mechanics, for a body with constant mass, the (vector) acceleration of the body's center of mass is proportional to the net force vector (i.e. sum of all forces) acting on it (Newton's second law): F

The magnitude of an object's acceleration, as described by Newton's Second Law, is the combined effect of two causes:  the net balance of all external forces acting onto that object — magnitude is directly proportional to this net resulting force; that object's mass, depending on the materials out of which it is made — magnitude is inversely proportional to the object's mass.

is the velocity at time t                 {\displaystyle t}   , and

{r} \;.} This acceleration and the mass of the particle determine the necessary centripetal force, directed toward the centre of the circle, as the net force acting on this particle to keep it in this uniform circular motion.

Relation to relativity | Special relativity

As speeds approach that of light, the acceleration produced by a given force decreases, becoming infinitesimally small as light speed is approached; an object with mass can approach this speed asymptotically, but never reach it.

Definition and properties | Instantaneous acceleration

Instantaneous acceleration, meanwhile, is the limit of the average acceleration over an infinitesimal interval of time.

In mechanics, acceleration is the rate of change of the velocity of an object with respect to time.

In the terms of calculus, instantaneous acceleration is the derivative of the velocity vector with respect to time:                                    a                  =

Acceleration is mass multiplied by time


" The book was also criticized for never mentioning the name of God.

Several critics complained the title made the book sound as if the main character is a nun.

The book was not advertised and only 456 copies sold.

However, Alfred Kazin—while criticizing Dreiser's style—pointed out that Dreiser's novels had survived and remained influential works.

The title of the book was considered by The Newark Sunday News to be the "weakest thing about the book" because it "does not bear the faintest relation to the story." Similarly, Frederic Taber Cooper in The Bookman declared it to be a "colourless and misleading title".

" Meeber takes the train to Chicago, where her older sister Minnie, and Minnie's husband, Sven Hanson, have agreed to take her in.

Upon returning home to Carrie, he encourages her to take the part of the heroine.

There is also the receipt of sale which Doubleday sent to Dreiser showing that Sister Carrie was not withdrawn from the shelves, reporting that 456 copies of the 1,008 copies printed were sold.

From the outset, his title was Sister Carrie, though he changed it to The Flesh and the Spirit while writing it; he restored the original name once complete.

Their self-titled U.S. debut album, which consisted of songs from their 1996 international debut album and Backstreet's Back, was released in the U.S. a day later, August 12, 1997.

The group finished recording their first album Backstreet Boys in the spring of 1996, and it was released internationally on May 6, 1996, excluding U.S. and Canada; however, it was later released in Canada in October 1996.Their popularity grew in Europe.

They also became one of the most successful debut artists in the world, collecting awards such as Durchstarter (Best Newcomers) in Germany's Viva Comet Awards in 1996."Anywhere for You" was released as the last single from their international debut album on February 17, 1997. " Quit Playing Games (with My Heart)", originally released in Europe as their fourth single in October 1996, was released in the U.S. in May 1997 for their upcoming self-titled U.S. debut album.

An arthropod (, from Greek ἄρθρον arthron, "joint" and πούς pous, "foot" (gen. ποδός)) is an invertebrate animal having an exoskeleton, a segmented body, and paired jointed appendages.

Arthropod exoskeletons are made of cuticle, a non-cellular material secreted by the epidermis.

The exoskeletons of most aquatic crustaceans are biomineralized with calcium carbonate extracted from the water.

Although all arthropods use muscles attached to the inside of the exoskeleton to flex their limbs, some still use hydraulic pressure to extend them, a system inherited from their pre-arthropod ancestors; for example, all spiders extend their legs hydraulically and can generate pressures up to eight times their resting level.

Two recent hypotheses about the evolution of biomineralization in arthropods and other groups of animals propose that it provides tougher defensive armor, and that it allows animals to grow larger and stronger by providing more rigid skeletons; and in either case a mineral-organic composite exoskeleton is cheaper to build than an all-organic one of comparable strength.

Arthropods therefore replace their exoskeletons by undergoing ecdysis (moulting), or shedding the old exoskeleton after growing a new one that is not yet hardened.

After moulting, i.e. shedding their exoskeleton, the juvenile arthropods continue in their life cycle until they either pupate or moult again.

The exoskeleton cannot stretch and thus restricts growth.

The exoskeleton or cuticles consists of chitin, a polymer of glucosamine.

For example, they are often used as sensors to detect air or water currents, or contact with objects; aquatic arthropods use feather-like setae to increase the surface area of swimming appendages and to filter food particles out of water; aquatic insects, which are air-breathers, use thick felt-like coats of setae to trap air, extending the time they can spend under water; heavy, rigid setae serve as defensive spines.

An arthropod has an exoskeleton.


The book is divided into five chapters, which Dickens titled "staves".

A Christmas Carol. A Christmas Carol. In Prose. Being a Ghost Story of Christmas, commonly known as A Christmas Carol, is a novella by Charles Dickens, first published in London by Chapman & Hall in 1843 and illustrated by John Leech.

George Cruikshank, the illustrator who had earlier worked with Dickens on Sketches by Boz (1836) and Oliver Twist (1838), introduced him to the caricaturist John Leech.

The first printing contained drab olive endpapers that Dickens felt were unacceptable, and the publisher Chapman and Hall quickly replaced them with yellow endpapers, but, once replaced, those clashed with the title page, which was then redone.

Matters worsened when Chapman & Hall, his publishers, threatened to reduce his monthly income by £50 if sales dropped further.

As the result of the disagreements with Chapman and Hall over the commercial failures of Martin Chuzzlewit, Dickens arranged to pay for the publishing himself, in exchange for a percentage of the profits.

He began A Christmas Carol in October 1843.

In 1824 John was committed to the Marshalsea, a debtors' prison in Southwark, London.

A Christmas Carol theatrical productions were playing in London.

Chapman and Hall issued second and third editions before the new year, and the book continued to sell well into 1844.

In Major League Baseball (MLB), he pitched 17 seasons on the Detroit Tigers and Cleveland Indians, from 1939 through 1955.

The 1945 All-Star Game was cancelled on April 24 because of travel restrictions and seven out of eight scheduled interleague games were played in place of the All-Star Game on July 9 and 10 to support the American Red Cross and War Relief fund.

During his playing days, Newhouser's teammates nicknamed him "Prince Hal" because of the way he carried himself.

Newhouser made his debut for Detroit on September 29, 1939.

In 1940, he earned a spot on the Tigers out of spring training.

In his first two full big-league seasons, the young left-hander experienced control problems, walking more batters than he struck out while posting win-loss records of 9–9 and 9–11.

He improved in 1942 and 1943, posting excellent earned run averages (ERAs), but he still lost more than he won on a team with a weak offense.

As World War II got under way, the Tigers moved up in the standings because several of their top players, including Newhouser, were classified as 4-F (ineligible to be drafted).

Newhouser was 4-F due to a leaky heart valve; he attempted to join the service anyway but was turned down several times.

He blossomed in 1944, becoming a dominant pitcher in wartime baseball.

That season, Newhouser rang up a 29–9 record, leading the league in wins and strikeouts (187).

Hal Newhouser played for the San Francisco Giants.


He interrupted his military career in 1853 to pursue private business ventures, and at the outbreak of the Civil War he was superintendent of the Louisiana State Seminary of Learning & Military Academy (now Louisiana State University).

His father, Charles Robert Sherman, a successful lawyer who sat on the Ohio Supreme Court, died unexpectedly in 1829.

Sherman wrote in his Memoirs that his father named him William Tecumseh; Sherman was baptized by a Presbyterian minister as an infant and given the name William at that time.

Copies of Saint-Gaudens's Bust of William Tecumseh Sherman are in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, and elsewhere.

Sherman reported that his middle name came from his father having "caught a fancy for the great chief of the Shawnees, 'Tecumseh'".

William Tecumseh Sherman (February 8, 1820 – February 14, 1891) was an American soldier, businessman, educator, and author.

Sherman went to Lancaster, Ohio, to recuperate.

Early life | Military college superintendent

He proved an effective and popular leader of the institution, which later became Louisiana State University (LSU).

Historiography | Autobiography and memoirs

His Memoirs of General William T. Sherman.

Since an account in a 1932 biography about Sherman, it has often been reported that, as an infant, Sherman was named simply Tecumseh.

Sherman was distantly related to American founding father Roger Sherman and grew to admire him.

William Tecumseh Sherman went to LSU and his father was a lawyer.


One of nine children, Guerrero is the younger brother of ex-major leaguer Wilton Guerrero, who also played with the Montreal Expos (the two were teammates for several seasons).

With the 51s he played in 8 games, with 10 hits in 33 at-bats (.303 avg).

With his aggressive batting style, he hit more than 30 home runs (HR) in each of 8 seasons and surpassed 100 runs batted in (RBI) 10 times, though he had just 2 seasons with at least 65 walks.

He was formally inducted on July 29, becoming the first member of the Hall to be depicted with an Angels cap, even though he appeared in more games (1004-846) and played in more seasons (8-6) as a Montreal Expo.

It has received mixed to negative reviews, with most critics noting poor literary qualities of the work.

A version of the novel from Christian's point of view, Grey: Fifty Shades of Grey as Told by Christian, was published in June 2015 as the fourth book.

Fifty Shades of Grey is a 2011 erotic romance novel by British author E. L. James.

Fifty Shades of Grey has attracted criticism due to its depictions of BDSM, with some BDSM participants stating that the book confuses the practice with abuse, and presents it as a pathology to be overcome, as well as showing incorrect and possibly dangerous BDSM techniques.

Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world, including those of the United Kingdom and the United States.

Fifty Shades of Grey has topped best-seller lists around the world, selling over 125 million copies worldwide by June 2015.

Her best friend is Katherine "Kate" Kavanagh, who writes for the college newspaper.

The first, titled Fifty Shades of Grey, was released as an e-book and a print on demand paperback in May 2011 by The Writers' Coffee Shop, a virtual publisher based in Australia.

It became the first instalment in the Fifty Shades novel series that follows the deepening relationship between a college graduate, Anastasia Steele, and a young business magnate, Christian Grey.

The second and third volumes of the original trilogy, Fifty Shades Darker and Fifty Shades Freed, were published in 2012.

On 1 August 2012, Amazon UK announced that it had sold more copies of Fifty Shades of Grey than it had any individual book in the Harry Potter series, though worldwide the Harry Potter series sold more than 450 million copies compared with Fifty Shades of Grey's sales of 60 million copies.

Fifty Shades of Grey was criticized for its subpar writing.


As Socrates did not write down any of his teachings, secondary sources provide the only information on his life and thought.

Socrates (; Ancient Greek: Σωκρᾰ́της Sōkrátēs [sɔːkrátɛːs]; c. 470 – 399 BC) was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy, and as being the first moral philosopher of the Western ethical tradition of thought.

Depictions of Socrates in art, literature and popular culture have made him one of the most widely known figures in the Western philosophical tradition.

The development and practice of this method is one of Socrates's most enduring contributions, and is a key factor in earning his mantle as the father of political philosophy, ethics or moral philosophy, and as a figurehead of all the central themes in Western philosophy.

These virtues represented the most important qualities for a person to have, foremost of which were the philosophical or intellectual virtues.

In the culmination of the philosophic path as discussed in Plato's Symposium, one comes to the Sea of Beauty or to the sight of "the beautiful itself" (211C); only then can one become wise. (In the Symposium, Socrates credits his speech on the philosophic path to his teacher, the priestess Diotima, who is not even sure if Socrates is capable of reaching the highest mysteries.) In the Meno, he refers to the Eleusinian Mysteries, telling Meno he would understand Socrates's answers better if only he could stay for the initiations next week.

Biography | Trial and death | Death | Refusal to escape

If he fled Athens his teaching would fare no better in another country, as he would continue questioning all he met and undoubtedly incur their displeasure.

However, it is still commonly taught and held with little exception that Socrates is the progenitor of subsequent Western philosophy, to the point that philosophers before him are referred to as pre-Socratic.

Socratic problem | Socrates as a philosopher

Also, in Plato's Apology and Symposium, as well as in Xenophon's accounts, Socrates explicitly denies accepting payment for teaching.

Socrates's opposition to democracy is often denied, and the question is one of the biggest philosophical debates when trying to determine exactly what Socrates believed.

The idea that there are certain virtues formed a common thread in Socrates's teachings.

Socrates was a Greek philosopher from Athens who is credited as one of the founders of Western philosophy with his personal documented teachings.


Also featured in the film are Joe Pesci as Joey, LaMotta's well-intentioned brother and manager who tries to help Jake battle his inner demons, and Cathy Moriarty as his wife.

Raging Bull is a 1980 American biographical sports  drama film directed by Martin Scorsese, produced by Robert Chartoff and Irwin Winkler and adapted by Paul Schrader and Mardik Martin from Jake LaMotta's 1970 memoir Raging Bull: My Story.

By the end of the 1980s, Raging Bull had cemented its reputation as a modern classic.

FilmSite.org, a subsidiary of American Movie Classics, placed Raging Bull on their list of the 100 greatest movies.

Raging Bull premiered in New York on November 14, 1980 and was released in theaters on December 19, 1980.

The Los Angeles Film Critics Association voted Raging Bull the best film of 1980 and De Niro best actor.

The editing of Raging Bull began when production was temporarily put on hold and was completed in 1980.

It was voted the best film of the 1980s in numerous critics' polls and is regularly pointed to as both Scorsese's best film and one of the finest American films ever made.

best supporting actor. The Berlin International Film Festival chose Raging Bull to open the festival in 1981.The 2012 Parajanov-Vartanov Institute Award honored screenwriter Mardik Martin "for the mastery of his pen on iconic American films" Mean Streets and Raging Bull.

When it first premiered in New York on November 14, 1980, the initial release of Raging Bull was met with polarized reviews, but the film would later be met with widespread critical acclaim.

This Side of Paradise  is the debut novel by F. Scott Fitzgerald, published in 1920.

The initial printing sold out in three days.

The novel famously helped F. Scott Fitzgerald gain Zelda Sayre's hand in marriage; its publication was her condition of acceptance.

The central plot of John Grisham's Camino Island centers around F. Scott Fitzgerald's manuscripts, including This Side of Paradise, which, in the novel, were stolen from the Firestone Library at Princeton University.

On March 30, four days after publication and one day after selling out the first printing, Fitzgerald wired Zelda to come to New York and get married that weekend.

While at Princeton (notably in University Cottage Club's library), Fitzgerald had written the unpublished novel The Romantic Egotist, and ultimately 81 pages of the typescript of this earlier work were included in This Side of Paradise.

Alternative band Glass Animals subtly referenced the novel on their 2016 album How to Be a Human Being, with a track titled "The Other Side Of Paradise.

Father Fay introduced him to the worlds of arts and letters, and another side of Catholicism, which emphasizes the "beauty and richness of the experience [Fitzgerald] would always try to capture in his writing."

Gauss was a child prodigy. In his memorial on Gauss, Wolfgang Sartorius von Waltershausen says that when Gauss was barely three years old he corrected a math error his father made; and that when he was seven, he confidently solved an arithmetic series problem (commonly said to be 1 + 2 + 3 + ... + 98 + 99 + 100) faster than anyone else in his class of 100 students.

There are many other anecdotes about his precocity while a toddler, and he made his first groundbreaking mathematical discoveries while still a teenager.

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss (; German: Gauß

Carl Friedrich Gauss, who also introduced the so-called Gaussian logarithms, sometimes gets confused with Friedrich Gustav Gauss (1829–1915), a German geologist, who also published some well-known logarithm tables used up into the early 1980s.

Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was born on 30 April 1777 in Brunswick (Braunschweig), in the Duchy of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (now part of Lower Saxony, Germany), to poor, working-class parents.

it was not published until 1801.

While working for the American Fur Company in the Midwest, he learned the Sioux language.

the Polish mathematician Marian Rejewski, who helped to solve the German Enigma cipher machine in December 1932, began studying actuarial statistics at Göttingen.

[ˈkaʁl ˈfʁiːdʁɪç ˈɡaʊs] (listen); Latin: Carolus Fridericus Gauss; 30 April 1777 – 23 February 1855) was a German mathematician and physicist who made significant contributions to many fields in mathematics and science.

His mother lived in his house from 1817 until her death in 1839.Gauss eventually had conflicts with his sons.

Sometimes referred to as the Princeps mathematicorum (Latin for '"the foremost of mathematicians"') and "the greatest mathematician since antiquity", Gauss had an exceptional influence in many fields of mathematics and science, and is ranked among history's most influential mathematicians.

Other religious influences included Wilhelm Braubach, Johann Peter Süssmilch, and the New Testament.

German mathematician Johann Carl Friedrich Gauss was a late bloomer and did not learn basic math until after 25.


The play is set in the small town of Malia, Ohio in the weeks leading to Christmas in the late 1930s.

Woollcott was delighted with The Man Who Came to Dinner and was offered the role for its Broadway debut.

The Man Who Came to Dinner was presented on Philip Morris Playhouse July 10, 1942.

In 1949, The Man Who Came to Dinner was produced for CBS Radio for The Hotpoint Holiday Hour.

Ultimately, however, the rebellion is betrayed, and the farm ends up in a state as bad as it was before, under the dictatorship of a pig named Napoleon.

Animal Farm is an allegorical novella by George Orwell, first published in England on 17 August 1945.

Animal Farm has also faced similar forms of resistance in other countries.

Secker and Warburg published the first edition of Animal Farm in 1945 without an introduction.

Pilkington is wealthier than Frederick and owns more land, but his farm is in need of care as opposed to Frederick's smaller but more efficiently run farm.

By the end of the book, the skull is reburied.

In the preface of a 1947 Ukrainian edition of Animal Farm, he explained how escaping the communist purges in Spain taught him "how easily totalitarian propaganda can control the opinion of enlightened people in democratic countries.

The Guardian on 24 August 1945 called Animal Farm "a delightfully humorous and caustic satire on the rule of the many by the few".

In October 1945, Orwell wrote to Frederic Warburg expressing interest in pursuing the possibility that the political cartoonist David Low might illustrate Animal Farm.

Eventually, Secker and Warburg published the first edition in 1945.

The 1945 novella Animal Farm ends when the animals escape and form their own utopia.


The name Golden Horde, a partial calque of Russian Золотая Орда (Zolotája Ordá), itself supposedly a partial calque of Turkic Altan Orda, is said to have been inspired by the golden color of the tents the Mongols lived in during wartime, or an actual golden tent used by Batu Khan or by Uzbek Khan, or to have been bestowed by the Slavic tributaries to describe the great wealth of the khan.

It was by far the longest-lived of the successor states to the Golden Horde.

While the Mongolian language was undoubtedly in general use at the court of Batu, few Mongol texts written in the territory of the Golden Horde have survived, perhaps because of the prevalent general illiteracy.

Under his rule, the Vlachs, Slavs, Alans, and Turco-Mongols lived in modern-day Moldavia.

Nogai and Köchü, Khan of the White Horde and son of Orda Khan, also made peace with the Yuan dynasty and the Ilkhanate.

After returning, Talabuga overthrew Töde Möngke, who was left to live in peace.

In the south, the Golden Horde's lands bordered on the Black Sea, the Caucasus Mountains, and the territories of the Mongol dynasty known as the Ilkhanate.

Golden Age | Berke–Hulagu war (1262–1266)

The outbreak of conflict was made more annoying to Berke by the rebellion of Suzdal at the same time, killing Mongol darughachis and tax-collectors.

The territory of the Golden Horde at its peak included most of Eastern Europe from the Urals to the Danube River, and extended east deep into Siberia.

In 1352, a Mongol-Russian army ravaged Polish territory and Lublin.

In the Golden Horde territory, the the Mongols lived in yurt-like structures, made with a golden colored fabric.


Construction took nine years, from 1922 to 1931 and cost the equivalent of US$250,000 (equivalent to $3,600,000 in 2019) and the monument opened on October 12, 1931.

Constructed between 1922 and 1931, the statue is 30 metres (98 ft) high, excluding its 8-metre (26 ft) pedestal.

In 1922, Landowski commissioned fellow Parisian Romanian sculptor Gheorghe Leonida, who studied sculpture at the Fine Arts Conservatory in Bucharest and in Italy.

Three early editions of the text have survived, making attempts to establish a single "authentic" text problematic and inconclusive.

Each surviving edition differs from the others: First Quarto (Q1): In 1603 the booksellers Nicholas Ling and John Trundell published, and Valentine Simmes printed, the so-called "bad" first quarto, under the name The Tragicall Historie of Hamlet Prince of Denmarke.

Each text contains material that the other lacks, with many minor differences in wording: scarcely 200 lines are identical in the two.

The 2006 publication by Arden Shakespeare of different Hamlet texts in different volumes is perhaps evidence of this shifting focus and emphasis.

Each version includes lines and entire scenes missing from the others.

Developing this, some editors such as Jonathan Bate have argued that Q2 may represent "a 'reading' text as opposed to a 'performance' one" of Hamlet, analogous to how modern films released on disc may include deleted scenes: an edition containing all of Shakespeare's material for the play for the pleasure of readers, so not representing the play as it would have been staged.

I suspect most people just won't want to read a three-text play ... [multi-text editions are] a version of the play that is out of touch with the needs of a wider public.

Editing Q1 thus poses problems in whether or not to "correct" differences from Q2 and F. Irace, in her introduction to Q1, wrote that "I have avoided as many other alterations as possible, because the differences...are especially intriguing... I have recorded a selection of Q2/F readings in the collation.

Editors have combined them in an effort to create one "inclusive" text that reflects an imagined "ideal" of Shakespeare's original.

Other editors have continued to argue the need for well-edited editions taking material from all versions of the play.

editions of the text exist and each one is different from the others.


It premiered at the Los Angeles Carthay Circle Theatre to great success both critically and financially.

The Life of Emile Zola is a 1937 American biographical film about 19th-century French author Émile Zola, starring Paul Muni and directed by William Dieterle, a German émigré.

Zola is reluctant to give up a comfortable life, but she brings forth new evidence to pique his curiosity.

" The Life of Emile Zola topped Film Daily's year-end poll of 531 critics as the best film of 1937.Certain scenes were interpreted at the time as "indirect attacks on Nazi Germany." As David Denby writes about the movie in 2013, "At the end, in an outpouring of the progressive rhetoric that was typical of the thirties, Zola makes a grandiloquent speech on behalf of justice and truth and against nationalist war frenzy." But the film was curiously silent about the issue at its core: that Dreyfus was Jewish and being persecuted under French anti-Semitism.

He becomes rich and famous, marries Alexandrine (Gloria Holden), and settles down to a comfortable life in his mansion.

Finally, a chance encounter with a street prostitute (Erin O'Brien-Moore) hiding from a police raid inspires his first bestseller, Nana, an exposé of the steamy underside of Parisian life.

Paul Muni as Émile Zola Gloria Holden as Alexandrine Zola

As expected, Zola is charged with libel.

Zola is found guilty and sentenced to a year in prison and a 3000 Franc fine.

She disputes that he ever gave an order about taking "Jew" out of dialogue in the film about Zola.

Pope Sixtus V (1585–1590) planned to turn the building into a wool factory to provide employment for Rome's prostitutes, though this proposal fell through with his premature death.

Beneath the Colosseum, a network of subterranean passageways once used to transport wild animals and gladiators to the arena opened to the public in summer 2010.The

Such scenes might be used simply to display a natural environment for the urban population, or could otherwise be used as the backdrop for hunts or dramas depicting episodes from mythology.

Due to the controversial nature of using a public–private partnership to fund the restoration, work was delayed and began in 2013.

It has been suggested that the reports either have the location wrong, or that the Colosseum originally featured a wide floodable channel down its central axis (which would later have been replaced by the hypogeum).Sylvae or recreations of natural scenes were also held in the arena.

The Colosseum was used to host gladiatorial shows as well as a variety of other events.

It was later reused for such purposes as housing, workshops, quarters for a religious order, a fortress, a quarry, and a Christian shrine.

They were seated in a tiered arrangement that reflected the rigidly stratified nature of Roman society.

The numerous vaulted spaces in the arcades under the seating were converted into housing and workshops, and are recorded as still being rented out as late as the 12th century.

During the early days of the Colosseum, ancient writers recorded that the building was used for naumachiae (more properly known as navalia proelia) or simulated sea battles.

The Colosseum was once used as a natural fibers workshop that employed sex-workers.


“Great State” in Turkic was originally a Mongol and later Turkicized khanate established in the 13th century and originating as the northwestern sector of the Mongol Empire.

The political situation in the Golden Horde did not stabilize.

The Crimean Khanate and the Kazakh Khanate, the last remnants of the Golden Horde, survived until 1783 and 1847 respectively.

After 1419, the Golden Horde functionally ceased to exist.

Disintegration | Great Horde (1459–1502)

The Crimean Khanate, which had become a vassal state of the Ottoman Empire in 1475, subjugated what remained of the Great Horde, sacking Sarai in 1502.

His successor, Abu'l-Khayr Khan, founded the Uzbek Khanate.

Disintegration | Khanate of Sibir (1405)

When he died in 1468, the khanate split in two, with the Shaybanid Ibak Khan situated in Chimgi-Tura, and the Taibugid Muhammad at the fortress of Sibir, from which the khanate derives its name.

The Khanate of Sibir was ruled by a dynasty originating with Taibuga in 1405 at Chimgi-Tura.

After his death in 1428, the khanate was ruled by the Uzbek khan Abu'l-Khayr Khan.

Disintegration | Khanate of Kazan (1445)

The Golden Horde was no more, he had barely 10,000 soldiers, and thus could not press the advantage against Moscow.

In 1449, Hacı I Giray seized Crimea from Sayid Ahmad I, and founded the Crimean Khanate.

The Golden Horde was a khanate.


The magnitude of an object's acceleration, as described by Newton's Second Law, is the combined effect of two causes:  the net balance of all external forces acting onto that object — magnitude is directly proportional to this net resulting force; that object's mass, depending on the materials out of which it is made — magnitude is inversely proportional to the object's mass.

By Newton's Second Law the force                                                 F                            g                                                  {\displaystyle \mathbf {F_{g}} }    acting on a body is given by:                                                 F                            g

In classical mechanics, for a body with constant mass, the (vector) acceleration of the body's center of mass is proportional to the net force vector (i.e. sum of all forces) acting on it (Newton's second law): F

The SI unit of acceleration is the metre per second squared (m s−2); or "metre per second per second", as the velocity in metres per second changes by the acceleration value, every second.

Accelerations are vector quantities (in that they have magnitude and direction).

The SI unit for acceleration is metre per second squared (

The Han dynasty (Chinese: 漢朝; pinyin: Hàncháo) was the second imperial dynasty of China (202 BC–220 AD), preceded by the short-lived Qin dynasty (221–206 BC) and a warring interregnum known as the Chu-Han contention (206–202 BC), and succeeded by the Three Kingdoms period (220–280 AD).

China's first imperial dynasty was the Qin dynasty (221–207 BC).

The Han dynasty inherited the ban liang coin type from the Qin.

This formally ended the Han dynasty and initiated an age of conflict between three states: Cao Wei, Eastern Wu, and Shu Han.

Han scholars such as Jia Yi (201–169 BC) portrayed the previous Qin dynasty as a brutal regime.

According to the Records of the Grand Historian, after the collapse of the Qin dynasty the hegemon Xiang Yu appointed Liu Bang as prince of the small fief of Hanzhong, named after its location on the Han River (in modern southwest Shaanxi).

The Qin united the Chinese Warring States by conquest, but their regime became unstable after the death of the first emperor Qin Shi Huang.

The issuing of coinage remained a central government monopoly throughout the rest of the Han dynasty.

The Han dynasty was a unique period in the development of premodern Chinese science and technology, comparable to the level of scientific and technological growth during the Song dynasty (960–1279).

Emperor Zhang's (r. 75–88 AD) reign came to be viewed by later Eastern Han scholars as the high point of the dynastic house.

The Han dynasty came after the Qin dynasty.


Washington police met with resistance, shot at the protestors, and two veterans were wounded and later died.

When the veterans moved back into the camp, police drew their revolvers and shot at the veterans, two of whom, William Hushka and Eric Carlson, died later.

I veterans, together with their families and affiliated groups – who gathered in Washington, D.C. in mid-1932 to demand early cash redemption of their service certificates.

When the two veterans were shot, the Commissioners asked the White House for federal troops.

Organizers called the demonstrators the "Bonus Expeditionary Force", to echo the name of World War

Breaking with tradition, the veterans of the Spanish–American War did not receive a bonus and after World War I, that became a political matter when they received only a $60 bonus.

Eric Carlson (1894–1932) was a veteran from Oakland, California who fought in the trenches of France in World War I.

Two years later, hundreds of Pennsylvania war veterans marched on Philadelphia, then the nation's capital, surrounded the State House, where the U.S. Congress was in session, and demanded back pay.

In January 1932, a march of 25,000 unemployed Pennsylvanians, dubbed "Cox's Army", had marched on Washington, D.C., the largest demonstration to date in the nation's capital, setting a precedent for future marches by the unemployed.

The Bonus Army was a group of 43,000 demonstrators – made up of 17,000 U.S. World War I veterans who gathered in Washington, D.C in which Washington police met with resistance, shot at the protesters, and two veterans were wounded and later died.


This mirrors the Disney Parks East regional division consisting of Shanghai Disney Resort, Hong Kong Disneyland and Walt Disney Attractions Japan and headed by Michael Colglazier.

Disneyland Paris is also the only Disney resort outside of the United States to be completely owned by The Walt Disney Company.

The Parisian resort is the second Disney park to open outside the United States following the opening of the Tokyo Disney Resort in 1983 and is the largest Disney resort to open outside of the United States.

In March 1988, Disney and a council of architects (Frank Gehry, Michael Graves, Robert A.M. Stern, Stanley Tigerman, and Robert Venturi) decided on an exclusively American theme in which each hotel would depict a region of the United States.

Disney sought workers with sufficient communication skills, who spoke two European languages (French and one other), and were socially outgoing.

On 28 June 1992, a group of French farmers blockaded Euro Disney in protest of farm policies supported at the time by the United States.

Within 25 years of opening, 320 million people visited Disneyland Paris, making it the most visited theme park in Europe.

It encompasses two theme parks, many resort hotels, Disney Nature Resorts, a shopping, dining, and entertainment complex, and a golf course, in addition to several additional recreational and entertainment venues.

History | Seeking a location for a European resort

By March 1985, the number of possible locations for the park had been reduced to four; two in France and two in Spain.

On 12 April 1992, Euro Disney Resort and its theme park, Euro Disneyland, officially opened.

Disneyland Park is the original theme park of the complex, opening with the resort on 12 April 1992.

Disneyland Paris is one of two Disney theme park outside of the United States.


They switched because they rejected the financial corruption associated with Republican candidate James G. Blaine.

The Mugwumps were Republican political activists in the United States who switched parties from the Republican Party by supporting Democratic candidate Grover Cleveland in the presidential election of 1884.

During the 2017 United Kingdom general election, Conservative Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson by writing in The Sun accused Labour Party Leader Jeremy Corbyn of being a threat to the United Kingdom and described him as a "mutton-headed old mugwump".

In the period from 1876 to 1892, presidential elections were closely contested at the national level, but the states themselves were mostly dominated by a single party, with Democrats prevailing in the South and the Republicans in the Northeast.

New England and the Northeast had been a stronghold of the Republican Party since the Civil War era, but the Mugwumps considered Blaine to be an untrustworthy and fraudulent candidate.

In the early 1880s, the issue of political patronage split the Republican Party down the middle for several consecutive sessions of Congress.

This division among Republicans may have contributed to the victory in 1884 of Grover Cleveland, the first President elected from the Democratic party since the Civil War.

Blaine was from the reform wing of his own party, but the Mugwumps rejected his candidacy.

Although the Pendleton Act of 1883 established the United States Civil Service Commission and made competency and merit the base qualifications for government positions, its effective implementation was slow.

During the Third Party System, party loyalty was in high regard and independents were rare.

No other member of the Balakirev circle identified himself so much with absolute music as did Borodin in his two string quartets, in addition to his many earlier chamber compositions.

While under Balakirev's tutelage in composition he began his Symphony No. 1 in E-flat major; it was first performed during 1869, with Balakirev conducting.

The Borodin Quartet was named in his honour.

In his book Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame (1974) Charles Bukowski wrote a poem about the life of Borodin entitled "The Life of Borodin".

Between 1859 and 1862 Borodin had a postdoctoral position in Heidelberg.

Borodin left the opera (and a few other works) incomplete at his death.

In 1954, Borodin was posthumously awarded a Tony Award for this show.

Aleksandr Borodin was called the Butcher of Moscow in 1887 when he was executed for the murder of Mily Balakirev.


On October 17, Burgoyne surrendered his army to Gates.

The Battles of Saratoga (September 19 and October 7, 1777) marked the climax of the Saratoga campaign, giving a decisive victory to the Americans over the British in the American Revolutionary War.

However, after the Battles of Saratoga were conclusively won by the colonists, France realized that the Americans had the hope of winning the war, and began fully aiding the colonists by sending soldiers, donations, loans, military arms, and supplies.

He won a small tactical victory over General Horatio Gates and the Continental Army in the September 19 Battle of Freeman's Farm at the cost of significant casualties.

His surrender, says historian Edmund Morgan, "was a great turning point of the war because it won for Americans the foreign assistance which was the last element needed for victory.

Second Saratoga: Battle of Bemis Heights (October 7) | British foray

On the American left, things were also not going well for the British.

The fall of Fraser and the arrival of Ten Broeck's large militia brigade (which roughly equaled the entire British reconnaissance force in size), broke the British will, and they began a disorganized retreat toward their entrenchments.

The opening fire came between 2 and 2:30 pm from the British grenadiers.

Poor's men held their fire, and the terrain made the British shooting largely ineffective.

Although slightly outnumbered, Morgan managed to break up several British attempts to move west.

The British won the Battles of Saratoga.


The term was coined by Swedish chemist Jöns Jacob Berzelius (1779–1848) in 1830.

Structural isomers differ in terms of the connectivity of some or all constituent atoms.

After additional discoveries of the same sort were made, such as Wöhler's 1828 discovery that urea has the same atomic composition (CH4N2O) as the chemically distinct ammonium cyanate, Jöns Jacob Berzelius introduced the term isomerism in 1830 to describe the phenomenon.

An obsolete term for cis– trans isomerism is "geometric isomerism".

However this term is ill-defined and has also been used to describe other stereoisomers as well as enantiomers.

Structural isomers | Example: propanols and methoxyethane

Another isomer of C3H8O: methoxyethane (ethyl-methyl-ether; III).

Tautomers are structural isomers which readily interconvert, so that two or more species co-exist in equilibria such as H–

Structural isomers | Example: propadiene and propyne

Propadiene (or allene) and propyne (or methylacetylene) are examples of isomers containing different bond types.

A simple example of isomerism is given by propanol: It has the formula C3H8O (or C3H7OH) and occurs as two isomers: propan-1-ol (n-propyl alcohol; I) and propan-2-ol (isopropyl alcohol; II) These two molecules are position isomers of each other, because the position of the hydroxy group differs between the two: It is attached to an end carbon in the first isomer, and to the center carbon in the second.

E/Z isomers, which have restricted rotation at a double bond, are configurational isomers.

The term Isomer was made popular by a scientist from Sweden.


White's mother, Judith, supported Sol and four siblings with her work as a "washer woman.

Their first child, a son named Paran Walter White (named after Sol's older brother), was born later that year.

For the following season Jess McMahon and his brother Eddie hired White to manage their new team, the New York Lincoln Giants.

Sol White married Florence Fields on March 15, 1906.

Sol White is perhaps best known for writing History of Colored Base Ball, also known (on the title page) as Sol White's Official Base Ball Guide.

The Giants lost Pete Hill to the Lelands in 1908, and in 1909 Sol White left the team after a disagreement with Schlichter.

Without a doubt this record will prove valuable in years to come." This second book on black baseball by Sol White never appeared.

Sol takes pride in having played against Ban when he was an obscure captain of a hick town club." White quickly made a name for himself as a ballplayer.

King Solomon "Sol" White (June 12, 1868 – August 26, 1955) was an American professional baseball infielder, manager and executive, and one of the pioneers of the Negro leagues.

Florence and Sol White appear to have become separated at some point before 1930.When White was inducted into the National Baseball Hall of Fame in 2006, no family member was present, so Commissioner of Baseball Bud Selig accepted his plaque on the family's behalf.

Sol White had 4 brothers and/or sisters.

That year, lyricist Mary Dean brought Garrett "Half-Breed", a song about the daughter of a Cherokee mother and a white father, that she had written especially for Cher.

Her father, John Sarkisian, was an Armenian-American truck driver with drug and gambling problems; her mother, Georgia Holt (born Jackie Jean Crouch), was an occasional model and bit-part actress who claimed Irish, English, German, and Cherokee ancestry.

At one point, her mother left Cher at an orphanage for several weeks.

Critics have disagreed about the literary merit of The Plumed Serpent, some, including the novelist E. M. Forster and the writer John Middleton Murry, praising it as Lawrence's best work and others dismissing it.

The Plumed Serpent is a 1926 political novel by D. H. Lawrence; Lawrence conceived the idea for the novel while visiting Mexico in 1923, and its themes reflect his experiences there.

The Plumed Serpent was first published in 1926 by Martin Secker's firm in the United Kingdom and Alfred A. Knopf in the United States.

Maddox compared The Plumed Serpent to Kangaroo, describing both novels as successors to Aaron's Rod.

Juliette Feyel compared The Plumed Serpent to Kangaroo, describing them as Lawrence's "most explicitly political novels".

She argued that The Plumed Serpent was the novel that most fully expressed Lawrence's ideal of female behavior, according to which the "woman must renounce personal love" and abdicate all pride and will.

"Later assessments of The Plumed Serpent include those of F. B. Pinion, who considered it the most ambitious and successful of Lawrence's novels written after Women in Love (1920).

Leavis and Burgess have compared The Plumed Serpent to Kangaroo

L. D. Clark described The Plumed Serpent as "perplexing".

The poet Richard Aldington described The Plumed Serpent as "curious and original".

" The novelist William S. Burroughs was influenced by The Plumed Serpent.

The 1926 novel The Plumed Serpent has had a turbulent reception.


The film's plot and characters are adapted from three novels in author Patrick O'Brian's Aubrey–Maturin series, which includes 20 completed novels of Jack Aubrey's naval career.

"The Far Side of the World (Master and Commander)".

McGregor, Tom (2003). The Making of Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a 2003 American epic period war-drama film co-written, produced and directed by Peter Weir, set in the Napoleonic Wars.

The film combines elements from 13 different novels of Patrick O'Brian, but the basic plot mostly comes from The Far Side of the World.

The ship's boats used in the film were Russian Naval six- and four-oared yawls supplied by Central Coast Charters and Boat Base Monterey.

Their interaction takes on a preening quality, reminiscent of the interaction of the "Star Trek" characters four or five movies down the line.

The two arrangements of this cue contained in the CD differ significantly from the one heard in the movie.

"Master and Commander" stays afloat to the finish, but that's all that can be said.

Other incidents in the film come from other books in O'Brian's series.

The author drew from real events in the Napoleonic Wars, as he describes in the introduction to the first novel, Master and Commander.

Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World is a movie that is based on four books.


He was one of the prominent 19th-century composers known as "The Mighty Handful", a group dedicated to producing a uniquely Russian kind of classical music, rather than imitating earlier Western European models.

During 1880 he composed the popular symphonic poem In the Steppes of Central Asia.

His passionate music and unusual harmonies proved to have a lasting influence on the younger French composers Debussy and Ravel (in homage, the latter composed during 1913 a piano piece entitled "À la manière de Borodine").

Borodin's Second Quartet, written in 1881, displays strong lyricism, as in the third movement's popular "Nocturne." While the First Quartet is richer in changes of mood, the Second Quartet has a more uniform atmosphere and expression.

Along with some influences from Western composers, as a member of The Five his music has also a Russian style.

Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin (Russian: Alexander Porfiryevich Borodin (Russian: Александр Порфирьевич Бородин, IPA: [ɐlʲɪkˈsandr pɐrˈfʲi rʲjɪvʲɪtɕ bərɐˈdʲin] (listen); 12 November 1833 – 27 February 1887) was a Russian chemist and Romantic musical composer of Georgian ancestry.

Two years later he began composing a third symphony, but left it unfinished at his death; two movements of it were later completed and orchestrated by Alexander Glazunov.

Although he is presently known better as a composer, during his lifetime, he regarded medicine and science as his primary occupations, only practising music and composition in his spare time or when he was ill.

The Borodin Quartet was named in his honour.

In his book Burning in Water, Drowning in Flame (1974) Charles Bukowski wrote a poem about the life of Borodin entitled "The Life of Borodin".

Borodin was a popular composer and was part of the class called "The Unique Chamber".

It is about Giacomo Rappaccini, a medical researcher in medieval Padua who grows a garden of poisonous plants.

He brings up his daughter to tend the plants, and she becomes resistant to the poisons, but in the process she herself becomes poisonous to others.

From his quarters, Giovanni Guasconti, a young student of letters at the University of Padua, looks at Beatrice, the beautiful daughter of Dr. Giacomo Rappaccini, a scientist who works in isolation.

Rappaccini's Daughter by Charles Wakefield Cadman premiered at Carnegie Hall on March 20, 1925 Rappaccini's Daughter by Margaret Garwood (1983) La hija de Rappaccini by Daniel Catán (1991) The Poisoned Kiss by Ralph Vaughan Williams

Giovanni notices Beatrice's strangely intimate relationship with the plants as well as the withering of fresh flowers and the death of an insect when exposed to her skin or breath.

Theodora Goss's 2017 book The Strange Case of the Alchemist's Daughter features Beatrice Rappaccini as one of its main characters.

Her daughter, Carmilla Black, is, like Beatrice, both immune to poisons and able to deliver poisonous infection to another individual.

He also attempted to conquer Roman Gaul (modern France), crossing the Rhine in 451 and marching as far as Aurelianum (Orléans) before being stopped in the Battle of the Catalaunian Plains.

Attila Attila (; fl. c. 406–453), frequently called Attila the Hun, was the ruler of the Huns from 434 until his death in March 453.

Campaigns against the Eastern Roman Empire

The death of Rugila (also known as Rua or Ruga) in 434 left the sons of his brother Mundzuk, Attila and Bleda, in control of the united Hun tribes.

Attila then took the throne for himself, becoming the sole ruler of the Huns.

For so terrible was Attila thought to be to great empires that the gods announced his death to rulers as a special boon.

However, he died in the early months of 453.

Attila interfered in a succession struggle after the death of a Frankish ruler.

He planned for further campaigns against the Romans, but died in 453.

AD.:260–262 Attila's eldest son Ellac was killed in that battle.:262 Attila's sons "regarding the Goths as deserters from their rule, came against them as though they were seeking fugitive slaves", attacked Ostrogothic co-ruler Valamir (who also fought alongside Ardaric and Attila at the Catalaunian Plains:199), but were repelled, and some group of Huns moved to Scythia (probably those of Ernak).:268–269

This has not stopped many genealogists from attempting to reconstruct a valid line of descent for various medieval rulers.

Attila was the ruler of the Huns, and also conquered Roman Gau from 434 until his death in March 453

[Fynn] stated that Shaka had killed 'a million people.'

Shaka chose a particularly gruesome revenge on her, locking her in a house and placing jackals or hyenas inside: they devoured her and, in the morning, Shaka burned the house to the ground.

Expansion of power and conflict with Zwide

Shaka then led a fresh reserve some 70 miles (110 km) to the royal kraal of Zwide, ruler of the Ndwandwe, and destroyed it.

Social and military revolution | As borrower not innovator

Some scholars hold that popular depictions of Shaka as a suddenly appearing genius creating innovation are overstated, and that to the contrary, Shaka was a borrower and imitator of indigenous methods, customs and even ruler-lineages already in place.

They also argue that Shaka's line was relatively short-lived and receives undue attention, compared to other, longer established lines and rulers in the region.

Zwide himself escaped with a handful of followers before falling foul of a chieftainess named Mjanji, ruler of a baBelu clan. (He died in mysterious circumstances soon afterwards.) Zwide's general Soshangane (of the Shangaan) moved north towards what is now Mozambique to inflict further damage on less resistant foes and take advantage of slaving opportunities, obliging Portuguese traders to give tribute.

Shaka was a fair and understanding ruler, who did not like violence.

According to the Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, Tale of Ragnar's sons, Heimskringla, Hervarar Saga, Sögubrot, and many other Icelandic sources, Ragnar was the son of the Swedish king Sigurd Ring.

He sired a son with the Norwegian princess Alfhild of the semi-mythical Álfar people, Ragnar Lodbrok, who succeeded him.

The Great Heathen Army is said to have been led by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok, to wreak revenge against King Ælla of Northumbria who had previously executed Ragnar by casting him into a pit full of venomous snakes.

The Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, Tale of Ragnar's Sons, and Heimskringla all tell of the Great Heathen Army that invaded England at around 866, led by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok to wreak revenge against King Ælla of Northumbria who is told to have captured and executed Ragnar.

Incensed, he attacked the English king with his fleet but was captured and thrown into the snake pit, similar to the Icelandic sagas.

Ragnar Lodbrok is also sometimes identified with a Ragnar who was awarded land in Torhout, Flanders, by Charles the Bald in about 841 but eventually lost the land as well as the favour of the King.

Ivar the Boneless was the leader of the Great Heathen Army from 865 to 870, but he disappears from English historical accounts after 870.

The Saga of Ragnar Lodbrok, Tale of Ragnar's Sons, and Heimskringla all tell of the Great Heathen Army that invaded England at around 866, led by the sons of Ragnar Lodbrok to wreak revenge against King Ælla of Northumbria who is told to have captured and executed Ragnar.

He sired a son with the Norwegian princess Alfhild of the semi-mythical Álfar people, Ragnar Lodbrok, who succeeded him.

The unusual protective clothes that Ragnar wore, when attacking the serpent, earned him the nickname Lodbrok ("shaggy breeches").

Ragnar Lodbrok was English.
