He had an excellent fastball, a sharp-breaking curveball, a screwball, and superb control; his strikeout-to-walk ratio was almost 3-to-1, and he led the major leagues in strikeouts for six consecutive years.

Waddell's 349 strikeouts represented the modern-era season record for more than 60 years, and remains sixth on the modern list.

After his major league career was over, Waddell pitched for parts of three more years in the minor leagues, including a 20-win season for the Minneapolis Millers in 1911.

Waddell still holds the AL single-season strikeout record by a left-handed pitcher.

He set the league record for strikeouts in a game with 16 in 1908.

On July 1, 1902, Waddell became the second pitcher to strike out three batters on nine pitches in the third inning of a 2–0 win over the Baltimore Orioles.

In 1905, Waddell won a Triple Crown for pitching, He finished with a 27–10 win-loss record, 287 strikeouts, and a 1.48 earned run average (ERA).

We got Rube out of there without delay.

His career stats were 193–143, 2,316 strikeouts, and a 2.16 earned run average, with 50 shutouts and 261 complete games in 2961.1 innings pitched.

George Edward Waddell (October 13, 1876 – April 1, 1914) was an American southpaw pitcher in Major League Baseball (MLB).

Leviticus takes place during the month or month-and-a-half between the completion of the Tabernacle (Exodus 40:17) and the Israelites' departure from Sinai (Numbers 1:1, 10:11).

The book teaches that faithful performance of the sanctuary rituals can make that possible, so long as the people avoid sin and impurity whenever possible.

The Book of Leviticus () is the third book of the Torah and of the Old Testament;  scholars generally agree that it developed over a long period of time, reaching its present form during the Persian Period between 538–332 BC.

The early critical reception of the novel was mixed.

The novel has received a significant amount of critical attention, for example, Lynnea Chapman King, Rick Wallach and Jim Welsh's edited collection No Country for Old Men: From Novel to Film or Raymond Malewitz's "Anything Can Be an Instrument: Misuse Value and Rugged Consumerism in Cormac McCarthy's No Country for Old Men." In 2007, Joel and Ethan Coen adapted the book into a film, also titled No Country for Old Men, which was met with critical acclaim and box office success.

No Country for Old Men is a 2005 novel by American author Cormac McCarthy, who had originally written the story as a screenplay.

In contrast, literary critic Harold Bloom does not count himself among the admirers of No Country for Old Men, stating that it lacked the quality of McCarthy's best works, particularly Blood Meridian, and compared it to William Faulkner's A Fable.

When comparing the lack of "moral argument" in Blood Meridian to the heightened morality present in No Country for Old Men, he considered stating that the "apocalyptic moral judgments" made in No Country for Old Men represented "a sort of falling away on McCarthy's part".

The book was adapted into the 2007 movie No Country for Old Men, which won four Academy Awards, including Best Picture.

Bell is haunted by his actions in World War II, leaving his unit to die, for which he received a Bronze Star.

After a brutal shootout that spills across the Mexican border and leaves both Moss and Chigurh wounded, Moss recovers at a Mexican hospital while Chigurh patches himself up in a hotel room with stolen supplies.

Owing to the novel's origins as a screenplay, the novel has a simple writing style different from other Cormac McCarthy novels.

This is the beginning of a hunt for Moss that stretches for most of the remaining novel.

The novel, "No Country for Old Men," received both praise and harsh criticism.


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

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

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.

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.

In January 1943, Anne Hilton is an upper-middle-class housewife living in a Midwestern town near a military base with her two teenage daughters, Jane and Bridget "Brig".

According to Bosley Crowther, Since You Went Away, Selznick's first screen production in four years, features a script with an "excess of exhausting emotional detail"; Crowther was impressed with the performances, but had issues with the film as a whole: As the mother and center of the family, Claudette Colbert gives an excellent show of gallantly self-contained emotion, and Jennifer Jones is surpassingly sweet as a well-bred American daughter in the first bloom of womanhood and love.

Since You Went Away is a comedy about an upper-middle-class housewife.


University of Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne made arrangements for Medwick to play football there, however Medwick decided to forgo college and enter professional baseball.

Upon being asked by the Pope what his vocation was, Medwick replied, "Your Holiness, I'm Joe Medwick.

Medwick was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in 1968.

What I don't understand is why they brought them to the ballpark in the first place.

Medwick is the last National League player to win the Batting Triple Crown Award (1937).Medwick was elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Baseball Writers' Association of America in 1968, receiving 84.81% of the votes.

After his election, he said, "This was the longest slump of my career.

He continued playing minor-league baseball through 1952 with Class 'B' Raleigh and Tampa, but his numbers declined substantially.

He also held the National League record with seven consecutive seasons with 40 or more doubles until Stan Musial had nine consecutive seasons with 40 or more doubles.

Medwick entered professional baseball with the Scottdale Scotties of the Middle Atlantic League in 1930.

Medwick retired with 10 appearances in the Major League Baseball All-Star Game over 17 seasons.

Joe Medwick had difficulty playing sports until he was elected to a place of higher learning for his vocation and found he transcended at baseball.


Playing career | Hall of Fame consideration and induction

In 2001, Trammell was rated as the ninth-best shortstop of all time in "The New Bill James Historical Baseball Abstract", placing him higher than fourteen Hall of Fame shortstops.

All-Star (1980, 1984, 1985, 1987, 1988, 1990) 4-time Gold Glove (1980, 1981, 1983, 1984) 3-time Top

Playing career | Later years, injuries and retirement

From 1993 to 1996, Trammell saw less time at shortstop in favor of Travis Fryman and eventually Chris Gomez and Andújar Cedeño.

He instead saw playing time at multiple defensive positions, including shortstop, third base, second base, left field, center field, and designated hitter.

10 MVP (1984, 1987, 1988) 3-time Tiger of the Year by the BBWAA-Detroit Chapter (1980, 1987, 1988) Collected both 200th hit of season and 1,500th career in same at bat (October 1, 1987) Had a 21-game hit streak during the 1987 season.

On December 10, 2017, he was elected to the Hall of Fame by the Modern Baseball Committee alongside his teammate Jack Morris.

He hit .329 in a resurgent 1993 season, but was ineligible to be ranked among the AL batting leaders because he only had 447 plate appearances (a minimum of 502 is required).

Trammell also became the first shortstop to hit at least .340

He compiled a .977 fielding percentage at shortstop, his primary position.

Despite a season-long battle with tendinitis in his shoulder which caused him to miss 23 regular season games, he finished fifth in the AL batting race with a .314 mark and ranked eighth in on-base percentage (.382).

Alan Trammell has been ranked in the top 10 shortstop of all time.


She encounters Don Cipriano, a Mexican general who supports a religious movement, the Men of Quetzalcoatl, founded by his friend Don Ramón Carrasco.

Kate eventually agrees to marry Cipriano, while the Men of Quetzalcoatl, with the help of a new President, bring about an end to Christianity in Mexico, replacing it with Quetzalcoatl worship.

Cipriano continues to support Ramón, despite being obliged to defend the Mexican government.

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.

Vickery considered it unfair to reduce the novel to a political plan, arguing that Lawrence's central concern was that people were being led "further and further away from the realization of their own essential nature", and that Lawrence's own views were different from those of Ramón.

David Barnes noted that while Lawrence regarded the novel as his most important, he made little reference to it after its publication, and that it is usually held that he later rejected its themes for new concerns in the late 1920s, expressed in works such as Lady Chatterley's Lover.

She maintained that it "stands out among the hundreds of novels and stories written by Anglo-Americans and set in Mexico for the particular forcefulness of Lawrence's obsession with, and equally forceful rejection of, that country and its people." She considered the work racist, and deemed it unsurprising that Lawrence considered it his best novel, arguing that he did so because he found Mexico, as a foreign society, an ideal subject on which to project his personal "obsessions".

He argued that they did not represent a change in Lawrence's views, and stressed that Lawrence did not necessarily endorse fascist politics, despite the presence of "proto-fascist ideologies" in the novel and its racism.

Ramón later marries a young woman named Teresa.

It has also been interpreted as an expression of his personal political ambition and as having homoerotic aspects.

The writer Anthony Burgess maintained that The Plumed Serpent is the least liked of Lawrence's novels due to its lack of humour and its exploration of a theme of little interest to readers "with no knowledge of the ancient Aztec gods and what they could mean to a revitalized or Laurentianised Mexico." He called its ending unconvincing.

The novel's plot concerns Kate Leslie, an Irish tourist who visits Mexico after the Mexican Revolution.

The novel concerns a woman rooting out a "plumed serpent" in government, this meaning an important person who was planning to betray the government he was to represent.


As a senior, Carlton quit basketball to concentrate on pitching.

He attended North Miami High School, playing baseball and basketball at first.

Carlton was born and raised in Miami, Florida, where he played Little League and American Legion Baseball during his youth.

After high school, Carlton played baseball at Miami Dade College North, where he pitched in relief on a strong team under Coach Demie Mainieri.

As a teenager, Carlton began reading and following the teachings of Eastern philosophy and Paramahansa Yogananda, who promoted greatness through meditation.

Steve was the only son of Joe and Anne Carlton and was raised with his sisters Joanne and Christina on 144th street in Miami.

He is the last National League pitcher to win 25 or more games in one season, as well as the last pitcher from any team to throw more than 300 innings in a season.

Baseball commentators during 1972 regularly remarked that Carlton's slider was basically unhittable, while Pittsburgh Pirates slugger Willie Stargell once remarked, "Hitting Steve Carlton's slider is like trying to drink coffee with a fork"."Auggie

Hammett never wrote a sequel but the book became the basis for a successful six-part film series, which also began in 1934 with The Thin Man and starred William Powell and Myrna Loy.

The Thin Man (1934) is a detective novel by Dashiell Hammett, originally published in the December 1933 issue of Redbook.

While some story elements were used in one of the sequel movies, this early draft is very different from the final published novel.

Although Hammett lived until 1961, The Thin Man was his last published novel.

Following the success of the movie version of The Thin Man in 1934, Hammett was commissioned to work on screenplays for sequels.

Lillian Hellman, in an introduction to a compilation of Hammett's five novels, contemplated several explanations for Hammett's retirement as a novelist,  I have been asked many times over the years why he did not write another novel after The Thin Man.

The Thin Man television series aired on NBC from 1957–59, and starred  Peter Lawford and Phyllis Kirk .In 1999, Knopf published a collection of Hammett's early works, including an early draft of The Thin Man.

During the course of this work, he wrote After the Thin Man and Another Thin Man, which, discovered amongst Hammett's papers in 2011, together with instructions by Hammett for incorporation of additional elements written by screenwriters Albert Hackett and Frances Goodrich, were edited by Hammett's biographer Richard Layman in collaboration with Hammett's granddaughter Julie M. Rivett and published as novellas in Return of the Thin Man in 2012.

Nick and Nora have no children but they own a female Schnauzer named Asta. (In the film adaptation, Asta is a male wire-haired fox terrier.) Charles is drawn, mostly against his will, into investigating a murder.

The sequels to the original Thin Man film are based on the subsequent novels in order.


In consequence, Hamlet loses his faith in all women, treating Ophelia as if she too were a whore and dishonest with Hamlet.

Hamlet and Horatio initially hide, but when Hamlet realizes that Ophelia is the one being buried, he reveals himself, proclaiming his love for her.

Context and interpretation | Philosophical

The clearest alleged instance of existentialism is in the "to be, or not to be" speech, where Hamlet is thought by some to use "being" to allude to life and action, and "not being" to death and inaction.

Performance history | Restoration and 18th century

Sarah Siddons was the first actress known to play Hamlet; many women have since played him as a breeches role, to great acclaim.

Context and interpretation | Psychoanalytic | Sigmund Freud

Who can believe Eliot, when he exposes his own Hamlet Complex by declaring the play to be an aesthetic failure?

Freud says, "It is thus the task of the dramatist to transport us into the same illness.

Hamlet, believing it is Claudius, stabs wildly, killing Polonius, but he pulls aside the curtain and sees his mistake.

The ghost describes himself as being in purgatory and as dying without last rites.

Polonius, spying on the conversation from behind a tapestry, calls for help as Gertrude, believing Hamlet wants to kill her, calls out for help herself.

As Hamlet was very popular, Bernard Lott, the series editor of New Swan, believes it "unlikely that he [Meres] would have overlooked ... so significant a piece".

Hamlet does not believe women can be trusted and thus mistreats Ophelia.


The Little Prince (French: Le Petit Prince, pronounced [lə p(ə)ti pʁɛ̃s]) is a novella by French aristocrat, writer, and aviator Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.

Multiple versions of its many pages were created and its prose then polished over several drafts, with the author occasionally telephoning friends at 2:00 a.m. to solicit opinions on his newly written passages.

Another sequel titled The Return of the Little Prince was written by former actress Ysatis de Saint-Simone, niece of Consuelo de Saint Exupery.

Late at night, during the trip, he ventured from his first-class accommodation into the third-class carriages, where he came upon large groups of Polish families huddled together, returning to their homeland.

"I'm the Little Prince" was the reply.

Little princes in legends are not different from this.

The anime had been aired and dubbed into several languages including Arabic, English, French, German, Italian, Polish, Portuguese and Spanish.

In a letter written to his sister Didi from the Western Sahara's Cape Juby, where he was the manager of an airmail stopover station in 1928, he tells of raising a fennec that he adored.

In 1997, Jean-Pierre Davidts wrote what could be considered a sequel to The Little Prince, entitled Le petit prince retrouvé (The Little Prince Returns).

Among them are various early editions of The Little Prince.

Borobudur, or Barabudur (Indonesian: Candi Borobudur, Javanese: ꦕꦤ꧀ꦣꦶꦧꦫꦧꦸꦣꦸꦂ, romanized: Candhi Barabudhur) is a 9th-century Mahayana Buddhist temple in Magelang Regency, not far from the town of Muntilan, in Central Java, Indonesia.

History | Contemporary events | Religious ceremony

Vesak is an official national holiday in Indonesia, and the ceremony is centered at the three Buddhist temples by walking from Mendut to Pawon and ending at Borobudur.

During the restoration in the early 20th century, it was discovered that three Buddhist temples in the region, Borobudur, Pawon and Mendut, are positioned along a straight line.

Many museums in Indonesia contain a scale model replica of Borobudur.

The monument has become one of the main tourism attraction in Indonesia, vital for generating local economy in the region surrounding the temple.

In Indonesian, ancient temples are referred to as candi; thus locals refer to "Borobudur Temple" as Candi Borobudur.

History | Contemporary events | Security threats

In August 2014, Indonesian police and security forces tightened the security in and around Borobudur temple compound, as a precaution to a threat posted on social media by a self-proclaimed Indonesian branch of ISIS, citing that the terrorists planned to destroy Borobudur and other statues in Indonesia.

Borobudur remains popular for pilgrimage, with Buddhists in Indonesia celebrating Vesak Day at the monument.

Several archaeological relics taken from Borobudur or its replica have been displayed in some museums in Indonesia and abroad.

The rediscovery and reconstruction of Borobudur has been hailed by Indonesian Buddhist as the sign of the Buddhist revival in Indonesia.

Borobudur is a temple in Indonesia.


Titan, Saturn's largest moon, and the second-largest in the Solar System, is larger than the planet Mercury, although less massive, and is the only moon in the Solar System to have a substantial atmosphere.

Saturn is the sixth planet from the Sun and the second-largest in the Solar System, after Jupiter.

Physical characteristics | Atmosphere | Cloud layers

If the periodicity is maintained, another storm will occur in about 2020.The winds on Saturn are the second fastest among the Solar System's planets, after Neptune's.

Saturn's second-largest moon, Rhea, may have a tenuous ring system of its own, along with a tenuous atmosphere.

The second hypothesis is that the rings are left over from the original nebular material from which Saturn was formed.

From time to time, Saturn is occulted by the Moon (that is, the Moon covers up Saturn in the sky).

History of observation and exploration | Modern NASA and ESA probes | Pioneer 11 flyby

Images were taken of the planet and a few of its moons, although their resolution was too low to discern surface detail.

As with all the planets in the Solar System, occultations of Saturn occur in "seasons".

Some of the moons of Saturn, including Pandora and Prometheus, act as shepherd moons to confine the rings and prevent them from spreading out.

Saturn has 82 known moons, 53 of which have formal names.

The planet Saturn has the second biggest moon.


On 8 September 1761 in the Chapel Royal, St James's Palace, the King married Princess Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, whom he met on their wedding day.

George was deeply devout and spent hours in prayer, but his piety was not shared by his brothers.

The Princess's nurse reported that "the scenes of distress and crying every day ... were melancholy beyond description." He accepted the need for the Regency Act 1811, and the Prince of Wales acted as Regent for the remainder of George III's life.

He did not travel extensively and spent his entire life in southern England.

George III lived for 81 years and 239 days and reigned for 59 years and 96 days: both his life and his reign were longer than those of any of his predecessors and subsequent kings.

Lord North again requested that he also be allowed to resign, but he stayed in office at George III's insistence.

While both agreed that it would be most reasonable for George III's eldest son George, Prince of Wales, to act as regent, to Pitt's consternation

The following year, at the age of 22, George succeeded to the throne when his grandfather, George II, died suddenly on 25 October 1760, two weeks before his 77th birthday.

By this time George's health was deteriorating.

Historical analysis of George III's life has gone through a "kaleidoscope of changing views" that have depended heavily on the prejudices of his biographers and the sources available to them.

French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars

The Times said, "The enthusiasm of the multitude was beyond all expression.

George III's fiancee had not spent time with him before the day of their nuptials.

International relations under Henry IV | Spain and Italy

During Henry's struggle for the crown, Spain had been the principal backer of the Catholic League, and it tried to thwart Henry.

The art and architecture of his reign have become known as the "Henry IV style" since that time.

Miller wrote All My Sons as a final attempt at writing a commercially successful play; he vowed to "find some other line of work" if the play did not find an audience.

All My Sons is based upon a true story, which Arthur Miller's then-mother-in-law pointed out in an Ohio newspaper.

Miller wrote All My Sons after his first play The Man

All My Sons is a three-act play written in 1946 by Arthur Miller.

In his Collected Plays, Miller commented on his feelings on watching an audience's reaction to a performance of his first successful play:  The success of a play, especially one's first success, is somewhat like pushing against a door which suddenly opens from the other side.

The news story described how in 1941–43 the Wright Aeronautical Corporation based in Ohio had conspired with army inspection officers to approve defective aircraft engines destined for military use.

This production received three 2019 Tony Award nominations: Best Revival of a Play, Best Performance by a Leading Actress in a Play (Bening), and Best Performance by a Featured Actor in a Play (Walker).

Early career | Assassination of Caesar | Leader of the Caesarian Party

In the turmoil surrounding the assassination, Antony escaped Rome dressed as a slave, fearing Caesar's death would be the start of a bloodbath among his supporters.

Early career | Assassination of Caesar | Ides of March

With Caesar preparing to depart for Parthia in late March, the conspirators prepared to act when Caesar appeared for the senate meeting on the Ides of March (15 March).

Caesar planned a new invasion of Parthia and desired to leave Antony in Italy to govern Rome in his name.

The political atmosphere of Rome at the time of the festival was deeply divided.

By refusing it, Caesar demonstrated he had no intention of making himself King of Rome.

The festival was held in honor of Lupa, the she-wolf who suckled the infant orphans Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome.

Early career | Service under Caesar | Civil War

Antony fled Rome, fearing for his life, and returned to Caesar's camp on the banks of the Rubicon, the southern limit of Caesar's lawful command.

Antony reunited with Caesar at Narbo in 45 BC with full reconciliation coming in 44 BC when Antony was elected consul alongside Caesar.

During the festival's activities, Antony publicly offered Caesar a diadem, which Caesar refused.

Antony was supposed to attend with Caesar, but was waylaid at the door by one of the plotters and prevented from intervening.

After the Ides of March, Marc Antony fled Rome in clothing usually worn by slaves.


It was first published in English and French in the US by Reynal & Hitchcock in April 1943, and posthumously in France following the liberation of France as Saint-Exupéry's works had been banned by the Vichy Regime.

A Peruvian professor named Roger Gonzalo took two years to translate the novel into Aymara, the result titled Pirinsipi Wawa.

Stacy Schiff, one of Saint-Exupéry's principal biographers, wrote of him and his most famous work, "rarely have an author and a character been so intimately bound together as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry and his Little Prince", and remarking of their dual fates, "the two remain tangled together, twin innocents who fell from the sky".

L'école Le Petit Prince is the public elementary school in the small community of Genech in northern France, dedicated in 1994 upon the merger of two former schools.

His meditative view of sunsets at the Bevin House were incorporated in the book, where the prince visits a small planet with 43 daily sunsets, a planet where all that is needed to watch a sunset "is move your chair a few steps." As of April 2017, The Little Prince became the world's most translated non-religious book (into 300 languages) together with Italian novel The Adventures of Pinocchio.

Literary translations and printed editions | Bavarian editions

The Little Prince has an adaptation for the inhabitants of Bavaria, Austria and South Tirol, covering for a large variety of the Bavarian language.

He would remain immensely proud of The Little Prince, and almost always kept a personal copy with him which he often read to others during the war.

Two or three original Little Prince drawings were reported in the collections of New York artist, sculptor and experimental filmmaker Joseph Cornell.

"The book enjoyed modest initial success, residing on The New York Times Best Seller list for only two weeks, as opposed to his earlier 1939 English translation, Wind, Sand and Stars which remained on the same list for nearly five months.

Saint-Exupéry dedicated two books to him, Lettre à un otage (Letter to a Hostage) and Le Petit Prince (The Little Prince), and referred to Werth in three more of his works.

As of 2017, it has been translated into more than 300 languages and dialects, including Sardinian, the constructed international languages of Esperanto and Klingon, and the Congolese language Alur, as well as being printed in Braille for blind readers.

The initial publication of the novel,  The Little Prince was done in two languages.


In 1828, the French chemist Joseph Louis Gay-Lussac first used titre as a verb (titrer), meaning "to determine the concentration of a substance in a given sample".

François-Antoine-Henri Descroizilles (fr) developed the first burette (which was similar to a graduated cylinder) in 1791.

The most common types of qualitative titration are acid–base titrations and redox titrations.

Measuring the endpoint of a titration | Back titration

Back titration is a titration done in reverse; instead of titrating the original sample, a known excess of standard reagent is added to the solution, and the excess is titrated.

A back titration is useful if the endpoint of the reverse titration is easier to identify than the endpoint of the normal titration, as with precipitation reactions.

A titration curve is a curve in graph the x-coordinate of which represents the volume of titrant added since the beginning of the titration, and the y-coordinate of which represents the concentration of the analyte at the corresponding stage of the titration (in an acid–base titration, the y-coordinate usually represents the pH of the solution).In an acid–base titration, the titration curve represents the strength of the corresponding acid and base.

Titrations between a weak acid and a weak base have titration curves which are very irregular.

To compensate, precipitation titrations often have to be done as "back" titrations (see below).

For example, the titration curve for the titration between oxalic acid (a weak acid) and sodium hydroxide (a strong base) is pictured.

Types of titrations | Gas phase titration

In one common gas phase titration, gaseous ozone is titrated with nitrogen oxide according to the reaction  O3 + NO

There are many types of titrations with different procedures and goals.

Types of titrations | Complexometric titration

Other complexometric indicators are Eriochrome Black T for the titration of calcium and magnesium ions, and the chelating agent EDTA used to titrate metal ions in solution.

Titration was discovered by Alexander Titus from whom it gets its name.


To open the 1928 season, the left-hander pitched a two-hit shutout against the Cleveland Tigers, which he followed with a 4-3 win over the Tigers the next day.

In a 1937 playoff game, he pitched 17 innings.

Cooper pitched for the Detroit Stars from 1920 to 1927.

Cooper became known for his ability to alter the speed of his pitches.

He often pitched three games in a five-game series, starting two and relieving another.

Cooper gave up two runs in the first inning of the game, but he pitched 16 subsequent scoreless innings.

Nearing the end of his career, Cooper pitched 17 innings in a playoff game that year versus the Chicago American Giants.

This man pitched with the same arm most people do.


The Washington family was a wealthy Virginia family which had made its fortune in land speculation.

By English common law Washington was a naturalized subject of the King, as were all others born in the English colonies.

Commander in chief (1775–1783) | Battle of Long Island

In August, Howe landed 20,000 troops at Gravesend, Brooklyn, and approached Washington's fortifications, as King George III proclaimed the rebellious American colonists to be traitors.

He had several sets of false teeth made which he wore during his presidency—none of which were made of wood, contrary to common lore.

George Washington was born February 22, 1732, at Popes Creek in Westmoreland County, Virginia, and was the first of six children of Augustine and Mary Ball Washington.

Commander in chief (1775–1783) | Siege of Boston

In October 1775, King George III declared that the colonies were in open rebellion and relieved General Gage of command for incompetence, replacing him with General William Howe.

The outer vault has the sarcophagi of both George and Martha Washington; the inner vault has the remains of other Washington family members and relatives.

Marriage, civilian, and political life (1759–1775) | Opposition to British Parliament

Washington helped lead widespread protests against the Townshend Acts passed by Parliament in 1767, and he introduced a proposal in May 1769 drafted by George Mason which called Virginians to boycott English goods; the Acts were mostly repealed in 1770.Parliament sought to punish Massachusetts colonists for their role in the Boston Tea Party in 1774 by passing the Coercive Acts, which Washington referred to as "an invasion of our rights and privileges".

The plan, along with others Washington considered in 1795 and 1796, could not be realized because of his failure to find buyers for his land, his reluctance to break up slave families and the refusal of the Custis heirs to help prevent such separations by freeing their dower slaves at the same time.

The colonists were divided over breaking away from British rule and split into two factions: Patriots who rejected British rule, and Loyalists who desired to remain subject to the King.

George Washington was a wealthy Georgia family which had made its fortune in land speculation, and by English common law Washington was a naturalized subject of the King, as were all others born in the English colonies.

William Bradley Pitt (born December 18, 1963) is an American actor and film producer.

According to the Dallas Observer, "Brad Pitt [...] is a large part of the problem [in the film].

The family soon moved to Springfield, Missouri, where he lived together with his younger siblings, Douglas Mitchell (born 1966) and Julie Neal (born 1969).

Pitt was born in Shawnee, Oklahoma, to William Alvin Pitt, the proprietor of a trucking company, and Jane Etta (née Hillhouse), a school counselor.

Troy was the first film produced by Plan B Entertainment, a film production company he had founded two years earlier with Jennifer Aniston and Brad Grey, CEO of Paramount Pictures.

The following year Pitt and Jolie flew to Haiti, where they visited a school supported by Yéle Haïti, a charity founded by Haitian-born hip hop musician Wyclef Jean.

Born into a conservative Christian household, he was raised as Southern Baptist and later "oscillate[d] between agnosticism and atheism." He later came back around to just belief in that "we're all connected".

The story follows a man who is born an octogenarian and ages in reverse, with Pitt's "sensitive" performance making Benjamin Button a "timeless masterpiece", according to Michael Sragow of The Baltimore Sun.

Pitt is a supporter of same-sex marriage.

Pitt has appeared in several television commercials.

Brad Pitt was born 12/28/63.


Early life and family | Childhood and education

Pierce was the fifth of eight children born to Benjamin and his second wife Anna Kendrick; his first wife Elizabeth Andrews died in childbirth, leaving a daughter.

Active military service was a long-held dream for Pierce, who had admired his father's and brothers' service in his youth, particularly his older brother Benjamin's, as well as that of John McNeil Jr., husband of Pierce's

Much of his $72,000 estate (equal to $1,380,000 today) went to his brother Henry's family, and to Hawthorne's children and Pierce's landlady.

These would give victories to North and South, and gained the support of his fellow Whig, Webster.

All of their children died young, their last son being gruesomely killed in a train accident while the family was traveling shortly before Pierce's inauguration.

During Pierce's childhood, his father was deeply involved in state politics, while two of his older brothers fought in the War of 1812; public affairs and the military were thus a major influence in his early life.

Early life and family | Marriage and children

They had three sons, all of whom died in childhood.

In December 1836, Pierce was elected to the full term, to commence in March 1837, and at age 32, was at the time one of the youngest members in Senate history.

Pierce strongly supported the compromise, giving a well-received speech in December 1850 pledging himself to "The Union!

Pierce, then the youngest man to be elected president, chose to affirm his oath of office on a law book rather than swear it on a Bible, as all his predecessors except John Quincy Adams had done.

In Hillsborough, his law partner was Albert Baker, who had studied law under Pierce and was the brother of Mary Baker Eddy.

Pierce's mom died giving birth to his youngest brother.


In the forty years from 1850 to 1890, the city's population grew from slightly under 30,000 to over 1 million.

At the end of the 19th century, Chicago was the fifth-largest city in the world, and the largest of the cities that did not exist at the dawn of the century.

To accommodate rapid population growth and demand for better sanitation, the city improved its infrastructure.

M.D. Rauch established a plan for Chicago's park system in 1866.

During much of the last half of the 19th century, Chicago's politics were dominated by a growing Democratic Party organization.

Chicago's first railway, Galena and Chicago Union Railroad, and the Illinois and Michigan Canal opened in 1848.

Chicago's flourishing economy attracted huge numbers of new immigrants from Europe and migrants from the Eastern United States.

In February 1856, Chicago's Common Council approved Chesbrough's plan to build the United States' first comprehensive sewerage system.

In 1883, Chicago's railway managers needed a general time convention, so they developed the standardized system of North American time zones.

Concern for social problems among Chicago's immigrant poor led Jane Addams and Ellen Gates Starr to found Hull House in 1889.

History | 20th and 21st centuries | 1900 to 1939

The theme of the fair was technological innovation over the century since Chicago's founding.

The city has grown significantly in size and population by incorporating many neighboring townships between 1851 and 1920, with the largest annexation happening in 1889, with five townships joining the city, including the Hyde Park Township, which now comprises most of the South Side of Chicago and the far southeast of Chicago, and the Jefferson Township, which now makes up most of Chicago's Northwest Side.

Chicago's growth stagnated in the 19th century.


He initially kept the Protestant faith (the only French king to do so) and had to fight against the Catholic League, which denied that he could wear France's crown as a Protestant.

To obtain mastery over his kingdom, after four years of stalemate, he found it prudent to abjure the Calvinist faith (saying, "Paris is well worth a mass.") .

During the earlier phase of the French Revolution, when its professed aim was to create a constitutional monarchy rather than a Republic, Henry IV was held up as an ideal which King Louis XVI was urged to emulate.

The art and architecture of his reign have become known as the "Henry IV style" since that time.

International relations under Henry IV | East Asia

During the reign of Henry IV, various enterprises were set up to develop trade with faraway lands.

The two kings were united by a common interest—to win France from the Catholic League.

Early life | "Paris is well worth a Mass"

Since Reims, traditional coronation place of French kings, was still occupied by the Catholic League, Henry was crowned King of France at the Cathedral of Chartres on 27 February 1594.

In addition, when Princess Caroline of Naples and Sicily (a descendant of his) gave birth to a male heir to the throne of France seven months after the assassination of her husband Charles Ferdinand, Duke of Berry, by a Republican fanatic, the boy was conspicuously named Henri in reference to his forefather Henry IV.

Henry IV (French: Henri IV; 13 December 1553 – 14 May 1610), also known by the epithet Good King Henry or Henry the Great, was King of Navarre (as Henry III) from 1572 and King of France from 1589 to 1610.

He was assassinated in 1610 by François Ravaillac, a fanatical Catholic, and was succeeded by his son Louis XIII.The son of Antoine de Bourbon, Duke of Vendôme and Jeanne d'Albret, the Queen of Navarre, Henry was baptised as a Catholic but raised in the Protestant faith by his mother.

When Henry III died, Henry of Navarre nominally became king of France.

Henry IV of France gave up his faith and professed to be Catholic to become king.

The realistic and sympathetic depiction of the farmer Wang Lung and his wife O-lan helped prepare Americans of the 1930s to consider Chinese as allies in the coming war with Japan.

The Good Earth is a novel by Pearl S. Buck published in 1931 that dramatizes family life in a Chinese village in the early 20th century.

It was the best-selling novel in the United States in both 1931 and 1932, won the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction in 1932, and was influential in Buck's winning the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1938.

The novel is set in a timeless China and provides no explicit dates.

Some scholars have seen The Good Earth as creating sympathy for China in the oncoming war with Japan.

The novel was included in Life Magazine's list of the 100 outstanding books of 1924–1944.

However, the 1937 film, The Good Earth, which was based on the stage version, was more successful.

Buck, who grew up in China as the daughter of missionaries, wrote the book while living in China and drew on her first-hand observation of Chinese village life.

If they had, Americans would have been fighting in Asia long before 1941."The Columbia University political scientist Andrew J. Nathan praised Hilary Spurling's book Pearl Buck in China: Journey to The Good Earth, saying that it should move readers to rediscover Buck's work as a source of insight into both revolutionary China and the United States' interactions with it.

At the end of the novel, Wang Lung overhears his sons planning to sell the land and tries to dissuade them.

He desires grandchildren to comfort him in his old age and becomes exceedingly needy and senile as the novel progresses.

The 1931 novel The Good Earth is a novel about rural life in China and won the Pulitzer Prize.


Biography | Early life and career (1890–1930)

Molotov joined the editorial staff of a new underground Bolshevik newspaper called Pravda, meeting Joseph Stalin for the first time in association with the project.

This first association between the two future Soviet leaders proved to be brief, however, and did not lead to an immediate close political association.

The new Party Secretary, Khrushchev, soon emerged as the new leader of the Soviet Union.

Although Molotov was seen as a likely successor to Stalin in the immediate aftermath of his death, he never sought to become leader of the Soviet Union.

In the plenum, which met from 22 to 29 June, Molotov and his faction were defeated.

"At the end of 1989, two years before the final collapse of the Soviet Union, the Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union and Mikhail Gorbachev's government formally denounced the Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact.

Biography | Minister of Foreign Affairs (1939–1949)

He represented the Soviet Union at the San Francisco Conference, which created the United Nations.

On the advice of Molotov and Nikolai Bukharin, the Central Committee decided to reduce Lenin's work hours.

Pompeii is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and is one of the most popular tourist attractions in Italy, with approximately 2.5 million visitors annually.

Pompeii (, Latin: [pɔmˈpeːjjiː]) was an ancient city located in what is now the comune of Pompei near Naples in the Campania region of Italy.

The 1954 film, Journey to Italy, starring George Sanders and Ingrid Bergman, includes a scene at Pompeii in which they witness the excavation of a cast of a couple that perished in the eruption.

It is speculated that these historical vineyards are strikingly similar in structure to the modern day vineyards across Italy.

By 2008, it was attracting almost 2.6 million visitors per year, making it one of the most popular tourist sites in Italy.

The city became an important passage for goods that arrived by sea and had to be sent toward Rome or Southern Italy along the nearby Appian Way.

The first stable settlements on the site date back to the 8th century BC when the Oscans, a people of central Italy, founded five villages in the area.

He was followed in 1764 by military engineer Franscisco la Vega, who was succeeded by his brother, Pietro, in 1804.There was much progress in exploration when the French occupied Naples in 1799 and ruled over Italy from 1806 to 1815.

Pompeii was the setting for the British comedy television series Up Pompeii!

In 1689, Francesco Picchetti saw a wall inscription mentioning decurio Pompeiis ("town councillor of Pompeii"), but he associated it with a villa of Pompey.

Pompeii is in Italy.

After his retirement from baseball, Newhouser was away from the sport for 20 years, serving as a bank vice president.

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

Harold Newhouser (May 20, 1921 – November 10, 1998), nicknamed "Prince Hal", was an American professional baseball player.

After being released by the Tigers following the 1953 season, Newhouser signed on with the Cleveland Indians and was their top long reliever in 1954, when Cleveland won 111 games and the pennant.

He later worked as a scout for several MLB teams, including the Houston Astros.

He became the youngest player (24) to win the award in two consecutive years.

The Tigers retired Newhouser's number 16 in 1997.

Newhouser became the first pitcher to repeat as MVP that season and helped the team win the World Series.

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

He quit his job with the Astros after they ignored his advice to draft Jeter, though he had planned to retire after that season in any case.

A radio parody of The Lion in Winter entitled The Leopard in Autumn by Neil Anthony was originally broadcast in BBC Radio 4 in 2001 and 2002 and

The story concerns the gamesmanship between Henry, Eleanor, their three surviving sons Richard, Geoffrey, and John, and their Christmas Court guest, the King of France, Philip II Augustus (French: Philippe Auguste), who was the son of Eleanor's ex-husband, Louis VII of France (by his third wife, Adelaide).

The play was adapted into a 1968 film, with Peter O'Toole as Henry and Katharine Hepburn as Eleanor, and a 2003 television movie with Patrick Stewart and Glenn Close.

Once regarded as plants constituting the class Schizomycetes ("fission fungi"), bacteria are now classified as prokaryotes.

Bacteria can also be used in the place of pesticides in the biological pest control.

This is achievable in some well-studied bacteria, with models of Escherichia coli metabolism now being produced and tested.

Bacteria ( (listen); common noun bacteria, singular bacterium) are a type of biological cell.

Because of their importance for research in general, samples of bacterial strains are isolated and preserved in Biological Resource Centers.

Bacterial metabolic processes are also important in biological responses to pollution; for example, sulfate-reducing bacteria are largely responsible for the production of the highly toxic forms of mercury (methyl- and dimethylmercury) in the environment.

Bacteria can use flagella in different ways to generate different kinds of movement.

In the biological communities surrounding hydrothermal vents and cold seeps, extremophile bacteria provide the nutrients needed to sustain life by converting dissolved compounds, such as hydrogen sulphide and methane, to energy.

Ehrlich had been awarded a 1908 Nobel Prize for his work on immunology, and pioneered the use of stains to detect and identify bacteria, with his work being the basis of the Gram stain and the Ziehl–Neelsen stain.

The International Committee on Systematic Bacteriology (ICSB) maintains international rules for the naming of bacteria and taxonomic categories and for the ranking of them in the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria.

Bacteria as a biological concept used to be placed in a different biological category than it is now.


Critics have described it as a masterwork and novelist D. H. Lawrence called it a "perfect work of the American imagination".

"On the other hand, 20th-century writer D. H. Lawrence said that there could not be a more perfect work of the American imagination than The Scarlet Letter.

The Scarlet Letter: A Romance is a work of historical fiction by American author Nathaniel Hawthorne, published in 1850.

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.

A second bonus march planned for the following year in May by the "National Liaison Committee of Washington," disavowed by the previous year's bonus army leadership, demanded that the Federal government provide marchers housing and food during their stay in the capital.

The Bonus Army members never got their bonus.


A third child, a daughter named Marion, lived to adulthood and survived her father.

In 1891 he played for the Big Gorhams of New York, a team that he later called "without a doubt one of the strongest teams ever gotten together, white or black." The Gorhams briefly represented Norwalk, Connecticut, in the Connecticut State League.

His father, Saul Solomon White, apparently died when White was very young.

" White "learned to play ball when quite a youngster." As a teenager White was a fan of the Bellaire Globes, local amateurs.

White managed the Philadelphia Quaker Giants for a year.

White played both catcher and second base for the Gorhams.

Sol White married Florence Fields on March 15, 1906.

White died at age 87 in Central Islip, New York.

However, White quit the Lincolns before the season was over, replaced as manager by Lloyd.

The journalist Floyd J. Calvin recounts the story of how White got a chance to play for his team.

White played second base, hit .350, and stole 21 bases in 54 games.

White and his wife had 4 children together.


, he also played with the Brooklyn Dodgers (1940–1943, 1946), New York Giants (1943–1945), and Boston Braves (1945).

A left fielder with the St. Louis Cardinals during the "Gashouse Gang" era of the 1930s

He made his MLB debut with the Cardinals in 1932.

He played in 139 games for the team the next year, hitting .354 with 26 home runs before being called up to the major leagues.

In 1949, at the age of 37, Medwick was player-coach of the Miami Beach Flamingos, a Class 'B' team in the Florida International League.

In later years, Medwick worked as a hitting coach in the Cardinals spring training camps and minor league system, his role with the team at the time of his death.

University of Notre Dame football coach Knute Rockne made arrangements for Medwick to play football there, however Medwick decided to forgo college and enter professional baseball.

He played 161 games for Houston in 1931, hitting .305 with 19 home runs.

He continued playing minor-league baseball through 1952 with Class 'B' Raleigh and Tampa, but his numbers declined substantially.

Medwick's hard-charging style of play got him pulled out of the seventh game of the 1934 World Series by Commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis after a hard slide into third baseman Marv Owen on a triple which caused Detroit Tigers fans to pelt Medwick with fruits and vegetables.

In 1984 games played over 17 seasons, Medwick compiled a .324 batting average (2471-7635) with 1198 runs, 540 doubles, 113 triples, 205 home runs, 1383 RBI, 437 bases on balls, .362 on-base percentage and .505 slugging percentage.

Medwick played with 3 teams overall in the MLB.


She wrote the poem in 1883 to raise money for the construction of a pedestal for the Statue of Liberty (Liberty Enlightening the World).

"The New Colossus" is a sonnet by American poet Emma Lazarus (1849–1887).

In the poem, Lazarus contrasts that ancient symbol of grandeur and empire ("the brazen giant of Greek fame")  with a "New" Colossus – the Statue of Liberty, a female embodiment of commanding "maternal strength" ("Mother of Exiles").

This poem was written as a donation to an auction of art and literary works conducted by the "Art Loan Fund Exhibition in Aid of the Bartholdi Pedestal Fund for the Statue of Liberty" to raise money for the pedestal's construction.

The poem is also the subtitle of the game's sequel: Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus.

Influence | Immigration to the United States

Paul Auster wrote that "Bartholdi's gigantic effigy was originally intended as a monument to the principles of international republicanism, but 'The New Colossus' reinvented the statue's purpose, turning Liberty into a welcoming mother, a symbol of hope to the outcasts and downtrodden of the world.

"The New Colossus" was the first entry read at the exhibit's opening on November 2, 1883.

Over the decades, “The New Colossus” has acquired a patina of universality.

Staining “The New Colossus” with the bile of discrimination is a shameful act of cultural defilement.

It remained associated with the exhibit through a published catalog until the exhibit closed after the pedestal was fully funded in August 1885, but was forgotten and played no role at the opening of the statue in 1886.

Emma Lazarus wrote the poem The New Colossus to fund her dream of starting an orphanage.


They lived in cramped quarters with several other families, and Yonath remembers "books" being the only thing she had to keep her occupied.

Yonath was accepted to Tichon Hadash high school although her mother could not pay the tuition.

Ada E. Yonath (Hebrew: עדה יונת, pronounced [ˈada joˈnat]) (born 22 June 1939) is an Israeli crystallographer best known for her pioneering work on the structure of the ribosome.

Her father was a rabbi and came from a rabbinical family.

When her father died at the age of 42, the family moved to Tel Aviv.

Yonath (née Lifshitz) was born in the Geula quarter of Jerusalem.

She has one daughter, Hagit Yonath, a doctor at Sheba Medical Center, and a granddaughter, Noa.

Yonath accepted postdoctoral positions at Carnegie Mellon University (1969) and MIT (1970).

At the Weizmann Institute, Yonath is the incumbent of the Martin S. and Helen Kimmel Professorial Chair.

On Saturday, 18 October 2014, Professor Yonath was named an ordinary member of the Pontifical Academy of Sciences by Pope Francis.

Ada Yonath grew up in a poor family.


The neutrino is so named because it is electrically neutral and because its rest mass is so small (

-ino) that it was long thought to be zero.

A neutrino ( or ) (denoted by the Greek letter ν) is a fermion (an elementary particle with spin of 1/2) that interacts only via the weak subatomic force and gravity.

The weak force has a very short range, the gravitational interaction is extremely weak, and neutrinos do not participate in the strong interaction.

Neutrinos are leptons. They have only been observed to interact through the weak force, although it is assumed that they also interact gravitationally.

Neutrinos are produced in weak interactions as chirality eigenstates.

Properties and reactions | Flavor, mass, and their mixing

Weak interactions create neutrinos in one of three leptonic flavors: electron neutrinos (νe), muon neutrinos (νμ), or tau neutrinos (ντ), associated with the corresponding charged leptons, the electron (e−), muon (μ−), and tau (τ−), respectively.

Other detectors have consisted of large volumes of chlorine or gallium which are periodically checked for excesses of argon or germanium, respectively, which are created by electron-neutrinos interacting with the original substance.

Weak interactions create neutrinos in one of three leptonic flavors: electron neutrinos (νe), muon neutrinos (νμ), or tau neutrinos (ντ), in association with the corresponding charged lepton.

Properties and reactions | Antineutrinos

Antineutrinos were first detected as a result of their interaction with protons in a large tank of water.

The experiments also implemented a primitive neutrino astronomy and looked at issues of neutrino physics and weak interactions.

A neutrino is a fermion that interacts only via the weak subatomic force and gravity and gets its name from the electron and its rest mass is so large..

One month later, with one point separating him from Reds center fielder Cy Seymour for the batting title, Wagner fell short in a head-to-head matchup on the final day of the season, with Seymour collecting four hits to Wagner's two, as contemporary press reports stated that the fans were far more interested in the Seymour-Wagner battle than in the outcome of the games.

The move to the Pittsburgh Pirates signified Wagner's emergence as a premier hitter.

For the next nine seasons, Wagner's average did not fall below .330.

According to the sagas Ragnarssona þáttr and Sögubrot af nokkrum fornkonungum, Ragnar Lodbrok's father was the legendary king of the Swedes, Sigurd Ring.

According to the traditional literature, Ragnar Lodbrok distinguished himself by many raids against the British Isles and the Holy Roman Empire during the 9th century.

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.

Sigurd and Harald fought the Battle of the Brávellir (Bråvalla) on the plains of Östergötland, where Harald and many of his men died.

Harald's nephew Sigurd Ring became the chief king of Sweden after Randver's death (Denmark according to Hervarar saga), presumably as the subking of Harald.

Here Ragnar's father Sigurd Ring is a Norwegian prince married to a Danish princess, and different from the victor of Brávellir (who had flourished about thirteen generations earlier).

Sigurd Ring and his cousin and rival Ring (that is, Sigfred and Anulo of recorded history, d. 812) are both killed in battle, whereupon Ragnar is elevated to the Danish kingship (identified by Saxo with Ragnfred, d. 814).

Later on, Ragnar with three sons invaded Sweden where a new king called Sörle

Sigurd then ruled Sweden and Denmark (being sometimes identified with a Danish king Sigfred who ruled from about 770 until his death prior to 804).

At a time it happened that King Lodbrok succeeded his unnamed father on the Danish throne.

Ragnar Lodbrok was the father of the King of Sweden, Sigurd Ring, and fought many raids with the Romans.

American Revolutionary War | Fall of Charleston

Marion was not captured with the rest of the garrison when Charleston fell on May 12, 1780, because he had broken an ankle in an accident and had left the city to recuperate.

Numerous locations in the US are named after Francis Marion, including the Francis Marion National Forest near Charleston, South Carolina.

Francis Marion University is located nearby in Florence County, South Carolina.

Legends and modern opinions about Marion

The public memory of Francis Marion has been shaped in large part by the first biography about him, The Life of General Francis Marion written by M. L. Weems (also known as Parson Weems, 1756–1825) based on the memoirs of South Carolina officer Peter Horry.

D.C. The Francis Marion Hotel is a historic hotel in downtown Charleston, South Caroline.

Around the time of The Patriot's release, comments in the British press challenged the American notion of Francis Marion as a hero.

Francis Marion was born on his family's plantation in Berkeley County, South Carolina, c. 1732.

The U.S. Navy was home to the USS Francis Marion, a Paul Revere-class attack transport.

In the Evening Standard, British author Neil Norman called Francis Marion "a thoroughly unpleasant dude who was, basically, a terrorist.

"According to Crawford, the biographies by historians William Gilmore Simms ("The Life of Francis Marion") and Hugh Rankin can be regarded as accurate.

Francis Marion survived a ship's accident when he was a teenager.


Professional career | T206 Baseball card

The T206 Honus Wagner baseball card is one of the rarest and most expensive baseball cards in the world, as only 57 copies are known to exist.

According to an October 12, 1912 issue of The Sporting News, Wagner did not give his consent to appear on the baseball card.

Unsurprisingly, the ATC asked for Wagner's permission to have his picture on a baseball card.

Professional career | Pittsburgh Pirates

Prior to 1904, Wagner had played several positions, but settled into the shortstop role full-time that season, where he became a skilled fielder.

Many of the greats who played or managed against Wagner, including Babe Ruth, Ty Cobb, Rogers Hornsby, and Walter Johnson, list him at shortstop on their All-Time teams.

Professional career | Life after baseball

During this time, he wore uniform number 14, but later changed it to his more famous 33, which was later the number retired for him. (His entire playing career was in the days before uniform numbers were worn.) His appearances at National League stadiums during his coaching years were always well received and Wagner remained a beloved ambassador of baseball.

Bill James says that Wagner is easily the greatest shortstop of all time, noting that the difference between Wagner and the second greatest shortstop, in James' estimation Arky Vaughan, is roughly the same as the gulf between Vaughan and the 20th greatest shortstop.

The Historical Society of Carnegie History Center houses the Honus Wagner Sports Museum which includes many Wagner collectibles and memorabilia.

In 1969, on the 100th anniversary of professional baseball, a vote was taken to honor the greatest players ever, and Wagner was selected as the all-time shortstop.

This nickname was a nod to the popular folk-tale made into a famous opera by another Wagner.

Honus Wagner has a rare sports card that was made without his permission during his time playing as a shortstop.


Robert Walker is uncommonly appealing as the young soldier whom she tragically adores, and Shirley Temple, now grown to "teen-age freshness", is pert as the young sister.

In contrast, the Hiltons' socialite neighbor Emily Hawkins complains about the inconveniences caused by the war and engages in unsupportive behaviors such as hoarding food and criticizing the Hiltons' efforts.

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

Two hours and fifty-one minutes is a lot of time to harp upon one well-known theme -lonesomeness and anxiety.

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.

Monty Woolley makes a full-blown character of the man who comes to lodge; Joseph Cotten is droll as the Navy playboy, and Hattie McDaniel does an Andy-act quite well... No doubt, this would have been a sharper picture if Mr. Selznick had played it in much less time, and it would have been considerably more significant

When the Hiltons travel by train in a failed attempt to see Tim one last time before he ships out, they encounter or travel with many other people whose lives have been affected by the war, and they end up not getting to see Tim because their train is delayed to allow a defense supply train to go through first.

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.

Critics of the time didn't use any weird or creepy language to describe the actors.

Known for his distinctive drawl and everyman screen persona, Stewart had a film career that spanned over 55 years from 1935 and 1991 and 80 films.

You Can't Take It With You became the fifth highest-grossing film of the year and won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

James Maitland Stewart (May 20, 1908 – July 2, 1997) was an American actor and military officer.

The film went on to win three Academy Awards and reap massive box-office figures.

" His performance earned him his only Academy Award in a competitive category for Best Actor, beating out Henry Fonda, for whom he had voted.

After graduating in 1932, he began a career as a stage actor, appearing on Broadway and in summer stock productions.

His generation of actors was fading and a new wave of actors, including Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift and James Dean, would soon remake Hollywood.

In 1999, the American Film Institute (AFI) ranked Stewart third on its list of the greatest American male actors.

In 1974, he received the Golden Plate Award of the American Academy of Achievement.

The American actor James Stewart was in 80 films over 55 years and won three academy awards but he started as a stage actor.


Tupac Amaru Shakur ( TOO-pahk shə-KOOR; born Lesane Parish Crooks, June 16, 1971 – September 13, 1996), better known by his stage name 2Pac, was an American rapper and actor.

While born Lesane Parish Crooks, he was renamed, at age one, after Túpac Amaru II (the descendant of the last Incan ruler, Túpac Amaru), who was executed in Peru in 1781 after his failed revolt against Spanish rule.

Shakur's mother explained, "I wanted him to have the name of revolutionary, indigenous people in the world.

Philips then named Isaac as one of his own, retracted article's unnamed sources.

Tupac, using the stage name MC New York, began recording in 1989.

While imprisoned February to October 1995, Tupac wrote only one song, he would say.

The prosecution's evidence included a Yo!

November 1996's The Don Killuminati: The 7 Day Theory, under the stage name Makaveli, is a studio album made in one August week, whereas later posthumous albums are archival productions.

Considered by many to be one of the most influential rappers of all time, much of Shakur's work has been noted for addressing contemporary social issues that plagued inner cities, and he is considered a symbol of resistance and activism against inequality.

Ultimately, the set design includes in the protagonist's bedroom a Tupac mural, and the film's score includes the 2Pac song "Hail Mary." In October 1991, Shakur filed a $10-million lawsuit against the Oakland Police Department for allegedly brutalizing him over jaywalking.

One of Tupac Shakur's birth names included Crooks.
