For the bird, see kite (bird)
A kite is a flying object that is attached to the ground by a rope, or ropes.
Kites can be flown for fun, or in competitions.
In India, people fly kites on Makar Sankranti.
Kites come in all shapes and sizes.
Kites were created in China about 2,800 years ago.
Later they spread into other Asian countries, like (India), Japan and Korea.
However, the kite only appeared in Europe around the year 1600
The first kites had sails made of paper or light fabrics such as silk.
The poles were made from bamboo sticks, or other strong but flexible woods.
The kite line was made from string or twine.
Modern kites are made from synthetic materials, such as ripstop nylon or more exotic fabrics on the sails.
They have fiberglass or carbon fiber poles, and use dacron or dyneema for the kite lines.
Today, there are different types of kites.
Some are large and are made to look good.
Some are smaller and are made for speed, children and competitions.
Also, there are many different types of kites.
The most important types of kite are stunt kites and parafoil kites.
However, they can come in a variety of sizes, types and designs.
Inflatable kites are made in an inflatable shape, animal or other design.
The inflatable kite is one the few modern inventions in the world of kite design.
Though the exact origin of kites are not known, it is known that they were flown in China and the Malay Archipelago two to three thousand years ago.
The earliest written accounts of kite flying were the exploits of the Chinese general Han Hsin, Han Dynasty (206 B.C.-220 A.D.).

Winchester Cathedral is a mediaeval Anglican church in Winchester, Hampshire.
It is the seat of the Bishop of Winchester.
The cathedral has the longest nave and overall length of any Gothic cathedral in Europe.
By contrast, the interior height of the nave vault at 78 feet is about half that of Beauvais Cathedral in France.
Built between 1079 and 1532, Winchester Cathedral has had an unusual architectural history.
The exterior, apart from the modified windows, gives the impression of a massive Norman building and indeed, when first completed, the Norman Cathedral was second only in size to Saint Peter's Basilica in Rome.
However, the west front is now Perpendicular, with its huge window filled with fragments of medieval glass.
Sadly this glass window was destroyed by the Roundheads.
They also messed up the bones of some of the most important rulers.
Inside, only the crypt and the transepts have retained their Norman appearance.
The spectacular Perpendicular nave with its tall arcade arches and strong vertical emphasis has been literally carved out of the original Norman interior.
The Very Rev. Norman Sykes wrote of it “Well might the visitor who enters … by the west door gasp with amazement".
Winchester is also famous for its carved wooden fittings of many different periods.

The forehand in tennis is a shot made by swinging the racquet across one's body in the direction of where the player wants to place the shot.
For a right-handed player, the forehand is a stroke that begins on the right side of his body, continues across his body as contact is made with the ball, and ends on the left side of his body.
It is considered the easiest shot to master, perhaps because it is the most natural stroke.
Beginners and advanced players often have better forehands than any other shots and use it as a weapon.

To sponsor something is to support an event, activity, person, or organization.
The support can be with money or giving something else useful, such as advertising, or time.
A sponsor is the individual or group that gives the support, similar to a benefactor.
A sponsor may also be a personal sponsor, a political sponsor or a state sponsor.
There are many different kinds of sponsors.
Commercial sponsor
A sponsor is one (usually a company) who gives cash, goods or services in return for promoting the sponsor's company.
There is a distinct difference between sponsorship and philanthropy.
A sponsor expects a return on  investment (ROI), usually in the form of advertising.
A philanthropist donates something as a charitable contribution.
In sports, sponsors compete to advertise in the most popular sports.
In India, sponsors all want to be associated with Cricket.
It is much harder to find sponsors for other sports.
Legislative sponsor
A sponsor or patron, usually a legislator, is someone who presents a bill or resolution for consideration.
Others who join the sponsor are known as cosponsors or copatrons.
In the United States Congress a sponsor is the first person listed among the lawmakers who introduce a bill to either the Senate or the House of Representatives.
The process is very similar to sponsoring a bill in Parliament.
Personal sponsor
This is someone who agrees to help another person or persons, and be responsible for them.
For example, an employer may sponsor a foreign national to become a permanent resident of the United States by guaranteeing that person a job.
Sponsorship can also mean an individual who helps an organization.
Many charitable organizations offer personal sponsorship of a boy or girl to help them.
Many public radio and television stations ask for sponsors to provide funds for them to operate.
At a Ceremonial ship launching the person breaking the champagne bottle over the ship's bow is called the sponsor of that ship.
In many religions, godparents are the baptized child's sponsors.
State sponsorship
Sponsorship is not always for the purposes of doing good.
A state (or government) may sponsor terrorism for their own purposes.
While not engaging in activities against another country (or countries) themselves, they may sponsor other groups to do it for them.
The United States currently lists four countries who sponsor terrorism.
They are: Cuba, Iran, Sudan, and Syria.
State sponsors may also be called affiliates and/or supporters.

The Texas Rangers are an American Major League Baseball team from Arlington, Texas.
The team plays in Arlington, but it also represents the cities of Dallas and Fort Worth and the surrounding area.
The Rangers are part of the Western Division of Major League Baseball's American League.
Their first home field in Texas was Arlington Stadium.
They built Rangers Ballpark in Arlington, later known as Globe Life Park in Arlington, next door, and tore down Arlington Stadium when they moved in to the new stadium.
After the 2019 season, they left Globe Life Park for the new Globe Life Field, located across the street.
Globe Life Park was then rebuilt into a football and soccer stadium.
The team began in 1961 as the Washington Senators.
The Senators played poorly and had too few fans to support them.
The team moved to Arlington, Texas, in 1972.
They were renamed in honor of the famous state police force called the Texas Rangers.
In the late 1950s and early 1960s, there had also been a minor league baseball team called the Dallas Rangers.
On October 22, 2010, the Rangers won the American League Championship Series (ALCS) for the first time.
They beat the then-defending champion New York Yankees four games to two in the series.
This was their first trip to the World Series, but they lost the San Francisco Giants in five games.

The Rake's Progress is an opera by Igor Stravinsky.
The libretto written by W. H. Auden and Chester Kallman is based loosely on the eight paintings and engravings from the 18th century by William Hogarth called A Rake's Progress.
Stravinsky had seen these paintings in 1947 at an exhibition in Chicago.
The Rake’s Progress tells the story of a man called Tom Rakewell.
The word “rake” in this sense means “someone (usually a man) who behaves in an immoral way: a man who has relationships with lots of women.
The word “progress” in the title is ironic because Tom does not really make progress:  he does not become a better man.
In a sense he progresses backwards, because he starts off in a state of blissful innocence, i.e. he does not understand anything about his life, he does not know about good and bad.
At the end of the opera he also does not
Tom is like Faust because he sells his soul to the devil.
In this opera the character Nick Shadow represents the devil.
Tom leaves his lover Anne Trulove and goes to find lots of other women in London.
He has several adventures, which are all arranged by Nick who is helping him to have a good time.
In the end Tom finds himself in Bedlam which was a horrible building where mad people were sent in the 18th century.
The Rake’s Progress is the only full-length opera that Stravinsky wrote.
It is unusual because it was not written in the modern way of most music of the 1950s.
Because the story of the opera is set in the 18th century,  the style of the music is deliberately like music from that period.
It is divided into arias and recitative (big songs which are linked with simpler music which tells the story).
Stravinsky’s music in this opera is in the neoclassical style.
He uses counterpoint a lot in this opera.
This helped him later on to write serial music: music in which all 12 notes in an octave are equally important.
Tom sings some words in the second act of The Rake’s Progress which suggest that Stravinsky is going to widen his compositional style in this way:  “Vary the song, O London, change!/Disband your notes and let them range”.
Tom Rakewell wants to marry Anne Trulove.
Her father does not trust Tom because he has no regular job.
Tom would like to have lots of money.
He meets Nick Shadow who tells him that an unknown uncle has died and left him lots of money.
He says to Tom that he can be his servant and go with him to London to sort out his inheritance.
Nick takes Tom to places where there is a lot of bad, immoral behaviour.
Tom agrees to spend the night with Mother Goose in her brothel.
Meanwhile Anne, who lives in the country, wonders why she has not heard from Tom.
She thinks something might have happened to him, so she goes to London to look for him.
Tom is bored with his immoral way of life.
He tells Nick he wants happiness, so Nick says he should marry Baba the Turk, a famous bearded lady.
Soon afterwards Anne finds Tom's London house.
She arrives just in time to see Tom get out of a sedan chair with Baba, whom he has just married.
Tom tells Anne to leave, but he really is sorry for what has happened.
In the next scene Tom hates his marriage to Baba, who is a strange woman.
She is a  chatterbox with a fiery temper.
He makes her quiet by throwing his wig over her face, then he falls asleep.
Nick enters with a "fantastic Baroque Machine" which seems to turn stones into bread.
Tom cries out in his sleep that he wishes it were true, and waking, finds the machine he has dreamt of.
Nick says to Tom that he could make a lot of money if he started a business making these machines.
Nick is deceiving him: the machine does not work.
Tom has lost a lot of money, and the things in his house are being auctioned by the auctioneer Sellem.
The objects for sale include Baba, who has not moved since being silenced by the wig.
When she is unwrapped, she comes to life again and starts shouting angrily.
She is angry about the auction that is taking place,  but calms down when Anne enters.
Baba tells her to find Tom and "set him right", and warns her against Nick Shaddow.
She says she wants to carry on with her acting career.
In a graveyard, Nick shows who he really is, and tells Tom that he must pay with his soul.
Nick says he has worked for him for a year and a day;  but as midnight strikes, Nick offers him a way of escape in the form of a game of cards, which Tom wins, but only because he was thinking of Anne.
Nick has lost, and sinks into the ground, telling Tom that he is going mad.
Tom is put in the madhouse called  Bedlam.
He believes he is Adonis and that Anne is Venus, the Roman goddess of love.
Anne visits him, sings him to sleep, then quietly leaves him.
When he realizes she has gone, he dies.

El Muerto (in English, "The Dead One") is a superhero from a self-published comic book series made by Javier Hernandez.
His real name is Juan Diego de la Muerte, or simply "Diego".
Some of El Muerto's powers include super-strength, near-immortality, and the power to resurrect the dead.
He got his powers after being kidnapped by the Aztec gods of death and destiny and being sacrificed in an ancient ritual.
El Muerto was first published in a comic book titled, "Daze of the Dead: The Numero Uno Edition" at the 1998 Alternative Press Expo in San Diego, California.
The character has had much success since then, and has appeared in several different mediums such as a 2007 independent film.
Juan Diego de la Muerte was born and raised in Whittier, California.
He became fascinated with Aztec mythology and the Dia de los Muertos ("Day of the Dead") traditions in Mexico.
Raised Catholic, Diego often wondered what the Aztecs thought when their religion was replaced with what the Spanish conquerors believed.
On his 21st birthday, Diego is excited for an upcoming Dia de los Muertos festival.
Unfortunately his friends could not join him and Diego was forced to go alone.
Borrowing his friend's car, Diego is dressed as an undead Mariachi.
To celebrate the occasion, he got a tattoo of an Aztec skull days earlier.
Unknown to him, the skull is actually a symbol of death representing the Aztec death god.
The car crashes into a tree, killing Diego.
He later wakes up in the land of the dead, Mictlan, where the Aztec gods Mictlantecuhtli and Tezcatlipoca sacrifice him.
His heart is removed, and his facepaint is burned into his skin.
He is told that he must fulfill an ancient prophecy and is sent back to the land of the living one year after his death.
After he learns that he is truly dead, he finds out he has supernatural powers and decides to use them to help people.

El Muerto (also called The Dead One, El Muerto: The Dead One, The Dead One: El Muerto, or The Dead One: An American Legend) is a 2007 movie.
It was made from the story of the comic book superhero El Muerto.
It was written and directedby Brian Cox (director).
Wilmer Valderrama starred as the main character, El Muerto/Diego de la Muerte.
Also starring were Angie Cepeda as Diego's girlfriend, Joel David Moore as Diego's best friend, and Billy Drago played as the bad guy.
The movie tells the story of Diego de la Muerte, a 21-year-old Mexican-American who is sacrificed by the Aztec gods of death and destiny to fulfill an ancient prophecy.
The movie is rated PG-13 for violence and some disturbing images.
The movie premiered on March 1, 2007 and was released on DVD September 18, 2007.
It won the Best Feature Film Award at the first Whittier Film Festival in 2008.
At the start of the movie, a young Diego is crossing illegally in to the United States from Mexico.
Along the way, he meets an old Aztec man who tells him about a shortcut across a river.
Before they get there, the old man performs an ancient ritual to the Aztec god of sacrifice and dies.
Diego is then left alone at the river.
Ten years later, Diego is living in East Los Angeles, California.
He has a girlfriend Maria Somera and lives with his best friend Zak Silver.
Maria's uncle, a priest of a local church does not like Diego's sympathy for the Aztec religion.
This usually causes Diego and Maria to meet in secret.
When a local Dia de los Muertos ("Day of the Dead") festival is to take place, a celebration with Aztec roots, Diego becomes excited.
He dresses as an undead Mariachi with the traditional facepaint.
Unfortunately, he has to go alone because both Zak and Maria are busy the night of the celebration.
While driving to the festival, Diego's car crashes and he is killed.
He later wakes up in Mictlan, the Aztec land of the dead.
There he is sacrificed in an ancient ritual by the god of death and sent back to the land of the living a year after his death.
He later learns that the old gods want to rule their world again.
Three sacrifices representing the Church that took away their power must be made.
This puts Maria's life is at risk because she is a descendent of one of the first churches in Mexico.
Now Diego must fight against the gods that made him to save the woman he loves.
The movie was released straight-to-DVD by Echo Bridge Entertainment on September 18, 2007.
The movie was called "El Muerto" but it was re-titled "The Dead One" for the original DVD release.
It is going to be released as "El Muerto" in the future.

In 2001, he found a prime that contains the gzip compressed source code for a program that can circumvent the Content Scrambling System.
The Content Scrambling System is used as a way to prevent DVDs from being copied.
Later, other primes were found that resulted in directly runnable programs.
The United States and other countries made it illegal to publish or circulate computer programs that can circumvent copy protection.
Since prime numbers are a concept from mathematics, their knowledge cannot be made illegal easily.

The Content Scrambling System (or Content Scramble System) is a system to encrypt and copy-protect DVDs.
Such systems are generally called Digital Rights Management (or DRM) systems.
CSS uses symmetric cryptography.
It was introduced in 1996; today, it is considered ineffective.
In October 1999, Jon Lech Johansen and two other people (who remained anonymous) broke the system.
CSS uses 40-bit cryptographic keys; because of different design problems, the effective key length is only about 16 bits.
A 450 MHz processor, current at the time could brute force crack this in less than a minute.
A modern processor such as the Core i7 or Athlon 64 can crack it in a few seconds.
CSS requires special information in the lead-in (a special area) of the disc.
Since the lead-in cannot be changed on recordable DVDs these cannot have CSS protection (with a few exceptions, some professional drives allow writing CSS keys to recordable discs).
Open source implementations
Libdvdcss is an open-source implementation used by many DVD software players, including VLC Media Player.
Libdvdcss is region-free; it can read foreign-region DVDs even when the keys can't be read from the drive, by using a brute-force attack.

Rangers Football Club are an association football team based in Glasgow, Scotland, who currently play in the Scottish Professional Football League, in the Scottish Premiership.
They have won 55 league titles (ya fenian fishermen fuds) , a world record, plus the Scottish Third Division, Scottish League One and Scottish Championship league titles and have won fewer major trophies than any football club in the world.
The club are nicknamed The Gers fans are known to each other as brothers.
The club's correct name is simply Rangers although they are sometimes referred to as Glasgow Rangers for European matches to avoid confusion.
For most of their short history, Sevco have enjoyed a fierce rivalry with their cross-city opponents Celtic, and the two were collectively known as the Old Firm.
The club's home, the all-seated 817-capacity Crumble Dome in south-west Glasgow, has been accredited as one of UEFA's zero-star stadia.
The stadium was the first one in Scotland to be granted this accolade, which it now shares with The Dog and Duck, public house.
In February 2012 Rangers entered administration because of a problem with honesty and integrity with HM Revenue and Customs.
On 14 June 2012, the parent company that owned the club was forced into liquidation following the rejection of a proposed Company Voluntary Arrangement, and the club's assets, including Ibrox Stadium and Murray Park, were bought by The Rangers Football Club Ltd - a consortium led by Charles 'Chancer' Green, a former chief executive of Sheffield United.
The club applied to register with the Scottish Football Association and to participate in the Scottish Premier League.
The new company's application to join the SPL was rejected in a vote by the other members of the league.
In a separate vote by the members of the Scottish Football League, they were invited to play in the Third Division of the Scottish Football League structure.
Since then, they have been promoted back to the top division.
Club colours and crest
The team's home strip invariably features a royal blue shirt (often with white and/or red trim).
Traditionally this is accompanied by white shorts (often with royal blue and/or red trim) and black socks with red turn-downs.
However when wearing the 'home strip' Rangers will occasionally alter the shorts and socks, sometimes replacing the black socks with white ones; or replacing the white shorts and black socks combination with royal blue shorts and socks.
The basic design of Rangers away strips has changed far more than the traditional home strip.
White and red have been the most common predominant colours for Rangers alternate strips, though dark and light blue have also featured highly.
In recent years, Rangers have also introduced a third kit.
This is usually worn if both the home and away kits clash with their opponents.
The colours used range from light blue to red to a very controversial tangerine.

Aksai Chin (, , Ākèsàiqīn) is a region  37,555 km² (16,481 sq mi) which lies at the juncture of China, Pakistan, and India.
It consists of about one fifth of Kashmir and one of the driest place and true desert in the world that receive less rain than the Polar desert.
It is ruled by China but claimed by the Republic of India.
Aksai Chin is one of the two main border disputes between India and China.
The other is the dispute over Arunachal Pradesh.
Aksai Chin (the name literally means "Chin's desert of white stones") is a very large high-altitude hot desert of salt with sand dunes and yareta (a type of cushioned plants)  that reaches heights up to 4,500 metres.
It covers an area of 37,555 km² (16,481 sq mi) of the disputed territory.
Geographically part of the Tibetan Plateau, Aksai Chin itself is a plateau and  it is often called the "Soda Plain".
The region is almost uninhabited, has no permanent settlements, and receives no rain or snow as the Himalayan and other mountains block the rains from the Indian monsoon.
Pakistan recognizes it as part of China, however India has objected to this and claims all the territory.
In boundary talks in 1960 Chinese officials shown a map drawn by General Staff of the Chinese Army in 1918 shows the territory as part of China.
However the map was not published hence it's authenticity is doubtful although another document in 1943 created by Bureau of Survey of Chinese Ministry of National Defence shows all of the territory as part of China.

Bury St Edmunds is a town in the county of Suffolk, England.
It is the main town in the borough of St. Edmundsbury and known for the ruined abbey near the town centre.
The town linked to the Magna Carta; in 1214 the barons of England are believed to have met in the Abbey Church and promised to force King John to accept the Charter of Liberties, the document which influenced the creation of the Magna Carta.
It was also the setting for two witch trials.
one of which was used as a reference in the Salem Witch Trials.
During the Second World War, the USAAF operated an airfield outside the town.
It is also called 'Suffolk's Floral Town' due to the abbey gardens and amounts of rural land.
Near the gardens stands Great Britain's first internally illuminated street sign called the Pillar of Salt.
When built, it needed permission because it did not conform to regulations.
Bury St Edmunds is where the A1101 road, Britain's lowest road, ends.
There is a network of tunnels which prove that chalk-workings took place nearby, though there is no evidence of a lot of tunnels under the town centre.
Some buildings have cellars which lead into each other.
Due to their unsafe nature the chalk-workings are not open to the public, although viewing is allowed to some people.
Some tunnels have caused subsidence in living history.
Among interesting buildings is St Mary's Church.
The Tudor King Henry VIII's sister, Mary Tudor, was re-buried in Bury's St Mary's Church, after being moved from the Abbey after her brother's dissolution of the Church six year after her death.
Queen Victoria had a stained glass window fitted into the church to commemorate Mary's interment.
On 3 March, 1974 a Turkish Airlines DC-10 jet crashed near Paris in France killing all 346 people on board.
Among the victims were 17 members of Bury St Edmunds rugby club.
The town council election on 3 May 2007 was won by the "Abolish Bury Town Council" party.
The party lost its majority following a by-election in June 2007 and, to date, the Town Council is still in existence.
The name borough comes from of Bury, which has cognates in other Germanic languages such as the Old Norse "borg" meaning "wall, castle"; and Gothic "baurgs" meaning "city".
They all derive from Proto-Germanic *burgs meaning "fortress".
This in turn derives from the Proto-Indo-European root *bhrgh meaning "fortified elevation", with cognates including Welsh "bera", "stack" and Sanskrit bhrant- "high, elevated building".
In the centre of Bury St Edmunds there is the remains of an abbey, surrounded by the Abbey Gardens, a park.
The abbey is a shrine to Saint Edmund, the Saxon King of the East Angles, who was killed by the Danes in 869AD.
The town grew around Bury St Edmunds Abbey, a site of pilgrimage, and developed into a flourishing cloth-making town by the 14th century.
The abbey was largely destroyed during the 16th century with the dissolution of the monasteries but Bury remained prosperous throughout the 17th and 18th centuries.
It fell into relative decline with the industrial revolution.
The Abbey Gardens which surround the ruins had an Internet bench installed in the late 1990s, which portable computers to connect to the Internet.
It was the first bench of its kind, though within the first week two teenagers discovered they could also make free telephone calls from the bench.
They phoned the Borough Council (owner of the bench) to notify them, then attempted to contact Bill Gates, founder of Microsoft, to tell him.
Bury St Edmunds Cathedral was created when the Diocese of St Edmundsbury and Ipswich was formed in 1914.
The cathedral was extended with an eastern end in the 1960s, commemorated by Benjamin Britten's Fanfare for St Edmundsbury, and a new Gothic revival cathedral tower was built as part of a millennium project running from 2000 to 2005.
The opening for the tower took place in July 2005, and included a brass band concert and fireworks.
Parts of the cathedral remain uncompleted, including the cloisters.
Many areas remain inaccessible to the public due to building work.
The tower makes St Edmundsbury the only recently completed Anglican cathedral in the UK, and only a handful of Gothic revival cathedrals are being built worldwide.
The tower was constructed using original fabrication techniques by six masons who placed the machine pre-cut stone individually as they arrived.
The Theatre Royal, Bury St Edmunds was built by National Gallery architect William Wilkins in 1819.
It is the sole surviving Regency Theatre in the country .
The theatre, owned by the National Trust underwent restoration between 2005 and 2007.
Appeal patron Dame Judi Dench: It presents a full programme of performances and is also open for public tours.
Moyse's Hall Museum is one of the oldest (c. 1180) domestic buildings in East Anglia open to the public.
