1812 Overture on Youtube, with cannons (2011)
Russian music
Guy Fawkes (13 April 1570 – 31 January 1606), sometimes known as Guido Fawkes, was a member of a group of Roman Catholic revolutionaries from England who planned to carry out the Gunpowder Plot.
Fawkes and the other plotters planned to kill the king, James I, and replace him with a Catholic monarch.
The day 5 November 1605 is remembered each year in the UK during Guy Fawkes Night.
People build large bonfires, light fireworks, and burn figures of Fawkes (known as 'the guy').
November 5 was the date when Parliament re-assembled after a long recess.
The plot was uncovered quite late, in the night before the day of the 5th.
Fawkes was arrested as he sat in a cellar, near the gunpowder, waiting for the right time to set it off.
He was tortured to make him reveal the names of the other plotters.
Later eight men, including Fawkes, stood trial for high treason.
They were found guilty and executed by hanging in Westminster, London, except for Fawkes, who killed himself by jumping from the scaffold before he was to be hanged.
Their remains were sent to the corners of the kingdom and displayed, as a warning to others.
There were five other conspirators; the main man, Robert Catesby, was killed by the Sheriff of Worcester when he tried to flee.
There are many places to find Fawkes in popular literature.
Here are some important examples, listed in chronological order.
1842: William Harrison Ainsworth - Guy Fawkes: A Historical Romance, is a historical novel which portrays Fawkes, and Catholic refusal to co-operate in general, favorably and begins to challenge the official version of the plot, one of the first to do so.
1847: Charlotte Brontë - Jane Eyre, Jane is compared to Guy Fawkes, by Abbot, with the line "a sort of infantine Guy Fawkes" because she looked like she was constantly inventing wicked plots.
Brontë, like Fawkes, was from Yorkshire.
1850: Charles Dickens - David Copperfield, for Peggotty to find money for Saturday's expenses, she "had to prepare a long and elaborate scheme, a very Gunpowder Plot...", a direct reference to the Plot of Fawkes.
1886: Herman Melville -  Billy Budd, the novella mentions Fawkes in the passage "The Pharisee is the Guy Fawkes prowling in the hid chambers underlying the Claggarts".
1925: T. S. Eliot - The Hollow Men, the epigraph of the Nobel Prize winning poem directly refers to Fawkes, "A penny for the Old Guy".
1953: Ray Bradbury - Fahrenheit 451, the protagonist of the novel is named Guy Montag, after Guy Fawkes and the Montag Paper Company.
In the story, the character plans to start burning firemen's houses in order to challenge the government.
1982: Alan Moore - V for Vendetta, the dystopian graphic novel of a fascist Britain is influenced by the story of Fawkes.
The main character, V, wears a Guy Fawkes mask.
1998: J. K. Rowling - Chamber of Secrets, the Harry Potter series school headmaster Dumbledore's phoenix is named Fawkes after Guy Fawkes.
2005: V for Vendetta – film portraying some of the events of the Guy Fawkes Gunpowder Plot and replicating Alan Moore's graphic novel.

It is the sequel to The Matrix Reloaded.
It is a prequel to The Matrix Resurrections.
When Neo wakes up, he finds himself at a train station.
He is there because, when he used his power to destroy the sentinels at the end of the second movie, he touched the source and did not come back all the way.
He is stuck there.
Meanwhile, his girlfriend Trinity, Morpheus, and Seraph enter a club to talk to the Merovingian, who controls a lot of the Matrix.
A gun fight ends in a Mexican standoff with guns pointed towards everyone.
The Merovingian agrees to let Neo go, and Trinity picks him up.
The city of Zion is preparing for war.

They use Armored Personnel Units (APU) to fight back.
However, there are too many machines, and they soon have to fall back to the temple.
Niobe on her ship attempts to return to Zion by going through an area that only a very skilled pilot can go through.
However, Niobe makes a mistake and the machines come after them.
During one part of the dock battle, the commander Milfune tries to repel the machines but is overwhelmed.
He dies.
He tells the Kid to take his APU and to open the dock doors.
The Kid does so and the ship comes through, blows its EMP, and saves the dock for now.
Near the end of the movie, Neo wants to take a ship to talk directly to the machines.
Niobe turns her ship, the Logos, over to him.
Earlier, Bane (who is now Smith) had stabbed a crew member and hid away on the Logos.
While on the ship, Bane fights Neo and ends up burn his eyes out.
However, Neo has the power and can still see and kills Bane.
As Neo and Trinity approach, the machines attack.
Trinity flies above the clouds to kill the machines, but it also destroys their engines, and they lose control and crash into the ground and Trinity is viciously killed by being impaled by metal rebar.
Neo walks up to the head of the machines, whose name is Deus Ex Machina.
He says that Smith has gotten out of control and that he is the only one that can stop him.
He says that he wants peace, so the machines stop attacking Zion.
Neo and Smith start fighting again.
This time Neo cannot beat him like he did with Bane.
At the end, he says, "It was inevitable" and allows Smith to touch him and acquire him.
Smith is then destroyed, as his only purpose was to balance Neo, who is now gone.
Hercules in the Underworld is the fourth made-for-TV movie in the series Hercules: The Legendary Journeys.
When villagers begin disappearing it is discovered that they had fallen through a crack in the earth which goes straight to Hades.
Hercules once again comes to the rescue and  faces one of his most difficult challenges, and must prove himself as a man as well as a god.
In the centre of a village the ground begins to open up and a strange green light emanates from within.
Two drunken men see the light and walk over to take a closer look.
As they approach a gaseous vapour begins pouring out of the fissure and in a flash of light the two men are charred with only their bones remaining.
The following day Hercules is working in the smithy with Nessus, the Centaur.
He watches the children playing outside when a woman, Iole, comes looking for him.
She says she's from the village of Gryphon and that they need Hercules' help.
Hercules agrees to help, but Deianeira tells the girl to rest first.
Hercules and Iole continue onto Gryphon, when they arrive the people take him to the area where the hole has opened up in the ground.
He walks through the village seeing fire and destructions and dead bodies strewn on the floor.
With the kiss her memories return and Hercules makes a deal with Hades that if he can capture Cerberus, then Deianeira can go back to Earth with him.
Hercules goes after Cerberus, he finds Hades' men trying and failing to capture him.
Hercules fights and defeats Cerberus and chains him up again.
Once Cerberus is chained the hole in the ground closes up and Deianeira appears.
Back on Earth the villagers thank Hercules for helping them and he and Deianeira go home.
Series Continuity and notes
Nessus, Hades, and the Cerberus all play into the labors of Hercules, although not in the fashion portrayed here.
The capture of Cerberus was supposedly the last labor of Hercules where he brings Cerberus to the surface world at the demand of King Eurystheus, not a request of Hades.
He returned Cerberus to Hades only after the twelfth labor was completed.
The scene where Deianara was abducted by the Centaur and where Hercules shot him with an arrow was supposedly the last days of Hercules as a mortal.
When he was caught by the fire, Hercules chose to be cremated alive to hasten his death but was transformed by Zeus into a full god.
Also Deianara is the second wife and her death was by suicide, Megara is the first wife.

Marzahn became part of Greater Berlin in 1920, as a part of the Lichtenberg district.
In 1979, the large housing estate of Marzahn was separated from Lichtenberg to become an East Berlin borough in its own right and in 1986 the new Hellersdorf district (including Kaulsdorf and Mahlsdorf) was split from it.
Berlin's 2001 administrative reform led to the former boroughs of Marzahn and Hellersdorf fusing into a single new borough.
In the north the locality includes the neighbourhoods of Bürknersfelde and Ahrensfelde, an overbuilt strip of land which once belonged to the Brandenburg municipality of Ahrensfelde and was incorporated into Berlin in 1990.
The historic village of Marzahn was first mentioned as Morczane in a 1300 deed by Margrave Albert III of Brandenburg-Salzwedel, when he granted the estates to the Friedland Cistercian abbey (in today's Neuhardenberg).
Marzahn was the site of a labour camp (today a water treatment plant), where Roma were interned from July 16, 1936 on, two weeks prior to the 1936 Summer Olympics in Berlin, away from visitor's eyes.
As a part of the  Nazi Porajmos extermination policy, up to 2000 inmates remained there until in 1943 they were deported to Auschwitz-Birkenau, where most of them were gassed.
In 1941 the large factory of the Carl Hasse & Wrede machine tool company (now Knorr-Bremse) was erected, where hundreds forced labourers were employed.
The victims were buried at the nearby Parkfriedhof, a memorial marks the site.
In 1987, Marzahn hosted the Berliner Gartenschau a horticulture show on the occasion of Berlin's 750th anniversary.
The area today called Erholungspark Marzahn includes the Gärten der Welt (Gardens of the World) project showing a Chinese, Japanese, Balinese and Korean garden, labyrinths modelled on Hampton Court Palace and Chartres Cathedral as well as a garden of the Italian Renaissance.
Marzahn is served by the S-Bahn lines S7 and S75 at the stations Springpfuhl, Poelchaustraße, Marzahn, Raoul-Wallenberg-Straße, Mehrower Allee and Ahrensfelde.
Tramway connections to the inner city are provided by the M6 and M8 lines of the Berlin Straßenbahn.

Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori)  is a spiral shaped bacterium that lives in or on the lining of the stomach.
It causes more than 90 percent of ulcers, which are sores in the lining of the stomach or the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine).
Before 1982, when this bacterium was discovered, doctors thought that spicy food, acid, stress and lifestyle caused most ulcers.
Because doctors now know that most ulcers are caused by an H. pylori infection, they can be cured with the correct antibiotics.
Heliobacter pylori was first discovered by Australian scientists, Barry J. Marshall and J. Robin Warren.
They won the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine in 2005 for their work.
Schöneberg is a locality of Berlin.
Until Berlin's 2001 administrative reform it was a separate borough including the locality of Friedenau.
Together with the former borough of Tempelhof it is now part of the new borough of Tempelhof-Schöneberg.
The village was first documented in 1264 by Margrave Otto III of Brandenburg.
In 1751 Bohemian weavers founded Neu-Schöneberg also known as Böhmisch-Schöneberg, along the current Hauptstraße.
Alt & Neu Schöneberg were combined as one entity in 1874 and received town privileges in 1898.
In 1920 Schöneberg became a part of Greater Berlin.
Its town hall Rathaus Schöneberg was completed in 1914.
Subsequent to World War II it served as the city hall of West Berlin until 1991 when the administration of the reunited City of Berlin moved back to the Rotes Rathaus in Mitte.

Hercules and Xena - The Animated Movie: The Battle for Mount Olympus is a 1998 animated action/adventure film starring the voices of Kevin Sorbo, Lucy Lawless, Michael Hurst, Renée O'Connor and Kevin Smith, all reprising their roles from Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and Xena: Warrior Princess.
As the song ends, a giant sea serpent emerges from the sea.
Hercules attempts to kill it, finally throwing a giant rock into its mouth.
The creature then jumps to the shore and lands on Hercules.
Being out of the water, the serpent suffocates and dies.
Hercules triumphantly climbs out of its nostrils.
While the villagers are thanking Hercules, lolaus climbs out of a rest chair and joins Hercules, who is rewarded by the villagers with a large fish.
Hercules and lolaus head to Thebes to see Alcmene, but Lolaus is upset because Hercules received all the credit.
On the way there, they defeat a group of highwaymen and continue their journey unscathed.
Some Satyrs who stole gold from helpless people are in a bar so Xena and Gabrielle come to beat them up and take the money back.
Ares shows up after Gabrielle throws wine at a Satyr and beats him up with her fighting stick.
He tells Xena to stop Hercules from going to Thebes because there is a trap set up for him there; however, Xena would like Hercules to go since there is trouble and he needs to help.
After a while, Xena becomes frustrated with Ares' unwillingness to give up.
She and Gabrielle argue about his intentions.
There is no rift between them in this movie.
Hercules is pulling a plow at his mother's house.
Both of them then see Thor come from the heavens in his chariot pulled by winged horses like Pegasus driving the chariot down.
He takes Alcmene to Mr. Olympus, causing Hercules to become disappointed.
Lolaus thinks Alcmene went on her own since she put up no fight but Alcmene disagrees and pushes Lolaus against a wall in his anger.
Hercules apologizes and the two head off to go and rescue Alcmene.
Zeus talks to Ares and wonders why he did not stop Hercules.
He says that he tried to get a mortal named Xena to do it, and becomes angry when Ares persistently yearns for Xena.
Afterward, Hera appears and yells at Zeus for bringing Alcmene to Mt. Olympus.
She leaves and steals the Kronos stone while doing so.
Aphrodite surfs down a mountain, which makes Lolaus very happy, and who hugs Hercules.
She tells Hercules that Hera is angry, and not to go to Mt. Olympus for his good.
He decides to go anyway.
Iolaus stays behind to entertain Aphrodite but leaves as an earthquake starts.
Meanwhile, a small boy has fallen into a lava pit.
Hercules holds the colliding ends together while Lolaus pulls the boy up, to the gratitude of the boy's mother, who then takes him to safety,
Xena and Gabrielle, in a nearby town, are battling three thugs.
Xena is tasked with stopping a rolling giant rock from falling upon one of them.
When she completes the task, both Xena and Gabrielle are shown Hercules meeting the titan Porphyion.
The leader of the titans says that Hera can go free because he is not defending the gods.
Zeus calls Artemis, Aphrodite, and Ares together to fight the titans, all while hoping that Hercules will join them.
Xena and Gabrielle are helping wounded people.
Artemis decides to ask for Xena's help, promptly turning Gabrielle into a giant bird.
Xena rides on Gabrielle to the Gods' home while Hercules is climbing up.
Xena explains to Artemis that all she had to do was ask for help from Xena and that she didn't need to turn Gabrielle into a giant bird.
The four titans come to battle; Poprhyrion, Tethys, Crius, and Mnemosyne.
Hercules shows up and greets Xena, promptly rescuing Alcmene while leaving everybody else to fight the titans.
Hera turns all of the gods into animals; Lolaus and Xena escape by riding on Gabrielle, who is still a bird, to Alcmene's' house.
This upsets everybody, as Hera did nothing to help Alcmene.
The gods are all small animals until Zeus can get the stone back.
Ares is a goat, Aphrodite is a cow, Artemis is a rabbit, and Zeus is a mouse.
The titans sing "Titan's Song", and back on earth, we see Xena and Hercules making up with each other.
They both agree to help the gods get their home and the Kronos stone back.
The Titans get the stone from Hera and turn her into a small doll, then place her inside a dollhouse.
In the meantime, Alcmene has been restored into her normal human form.
The heroes ride Gabrielle to the mountain and fight the Titans.
Hercules gets the stone and can destroy it.
He lifts the seal of the underworld which causes the lava pits to appear.
Hercules and Xena flip the Titan Crius into the lava, and Lolaus gets the water and fire.
Female Titans fall into and dissolve within the fiery pits.
Gabrielle scoops up Porpyron, who grabbed Hercules.
Hercules tries to reach and jump onto Gabrielle's back, where Xena and Lolaus are sitting, but fails.
Gabrielle drops the titan into the cavern and catches the falling Hercules.
She then can take him to the Gods' mountain, in time to close the stone which locks the titans away.
Zeus and Alcmene go back to Mt. Olympus and Zeus encourages Hercules to visit sometime.
Hercules then leaves, going with Lolaus, Gabrielle, and Xena on their way to Corinth, to return a bag of gold and seek more adventure.

Hercules: The Legendary Journeys is an action adventure video game with Beat 'em up elements that was released on November 17, 1997, on the Nintendo 64 and Game Boy Color, developed by PS1 and published by Titus Software, based on the television series.
Ares, Hercules' brother, forms a plan to dethrone Zeus with the help of Hera.
With Zeus ill, a struggle for power corrupts the immortal realm.
The Gods, unaware of the true nature of the disturbance, flee to the mortal realm in a search to find the reason for the turmoil.
Hercules, a man whose strength is like nothing ever seen, is the only one who can save the world, both mortal and immortal, and his father from certain doom.
Take control of the legendary hero as you travel around the land in search of a cure, and to stop Ares from completing his plan.
Xena: Warrior Princess is a "beat 'em up" video game that was released on the PlayStation in September 30, 1999, developed by VU Games and published by Electronic Arts, based on the television series.
Playing as the television series' title character, you must rescue your companion, Gabrielle, from a fate worse than death and fight the forces responsible for her capture in the first place.
The game is played from a third-person perspective and revolves around slashing, jumping, and kicking your way through a series of 3D environments.
Various button combinations produce special combo moves like those seen on the show, but since mashing the buttons alone appears to work well, you will not be inclined to learn the combinations.
Xena can also use power-ups, which she will find along the way, as well as her trademark chakram.
Once you throw the chakram, the perspective switches to that of the whirling circle, which you are able to aim, after a fashion.
Once it hits something, it is propelled back.
The downside to using it is that Xena is defenseless while the weapon is in the air, so you have got to use it wisely when you are under fire from archers perched up above or from multiple opponents on the ground.
You use the chakram to flip switches, cut chains, and pick off opponents from a distance.
These opponents sometimes become tougher targets because of the hostages they keep so near to them.
Xena: Warrior Princess for the Game Boy Color was developed and released by Titus Software in 2000.
Xena: Warrior Princess for the PS2 only released in Europe.

Xena: Warrior Princess: The Talisman of Fate is a fighting video game.
It was released on the Nintendo 64.
The game was created by Saffire and published by Titus Software.
It is based on the Xena: Warrior Princess television series.
It seems that Xena and Despair (the Champion of Dahak) have both said the Talisman of Fate belongs to them.
Whoever controls it will have power over all of mankind.
Because of this, Xena does not want it to belong to someone who would do bad things with it.
A battle takes place, but the Fates themselves decide that the only way to who should have the talisman is to have a tournament.
Each of Earth's greatest heroes and villains will fight in the tournament.
Up to four people can play.
Each player controls one of the many characters from the series and tries to beat everyone else with punches, kicks, and many special moves.
Xena has her sword, the Chakram, and a torch that lets her breathe fire; Gabrielle has her staff, some very good kicks, and a meditation-into-projectile attack.
The game is 3D.

Oscar Ribeiro de Almeida Niemeyer Soares Filho (December 15, 1907  December 5, 2012) was a Brazilian architect who is thought to be an important name in worldwide modern architecture.
He was a pioneer in the idea of using reinforced concrete for buildings.
Buildings made by Niemeyer often have a lot of empty space, making odd patterns.
The biggest work he made was the plan for the city of Brasília.
Politically, Niemeyer was a communist, which sometimes had a bad effect for him: When the military dictatorship of Brazil happened in 1964, Niemeyer was forced into exile in Paris.
Fidel Castro once said  "Niemeyer and I are the last Communists of this planet."

Centenarians
It is the largest museum in Canada and fifth largest in North America.
It has more than six million things on display and over 40 galleries.
It has notable collections of dinosaurs, Near Eastern and African art, East Asian art, European history, and Canadian history.
A centenarian is a person who has lived to be at least 100.
Because people normally die before this age, the word centenarian is usually linked to longevity.
The United States has the most centenarians, while Japan is second.
Much more rare is a supercentenarian, who is a person that has lived to be at least 110.
Famous supercentenarians have included Harry Patch, who was the last surviving British soldier of the First World War trenches.

Auguste Comte (full name:  Isidore Marie Auguste François Xavier Comte; January 17, 1798 – September 5, 1857) was a French thinker who was one of the founders of sociology (from the Latin: socius, "companion"; and the suffix -ology, "the study of", from Greek λόγος, lógos, "knowledge" ) and positivism.
Comte was born on 19 January 1798 at Montpellier, in southern France.
After attending the University of Montpellier, one of the oldest European universities, Comte was admitted to the École Polytechnique in Paris.
He died in Paris on 5 September 1857 and is buried at the famous Cimetière du Père Lachaise.
His apartment from 1841-1857 is now conserved as the Maison d'Auguste Comte.
The law of three stages is a socio-historical idea of Auguste Comte.
Comte said that knowledge developed in three stages.
The first stage is the "theological" stage, in which Comte says that people use religion or gods to explain why things happen or where things came from.
The second stage is the "metaphysical" or "abstract" stage, where people use philosophy and abstract ideas to think about their beliefs and explain things.
The last stage is the "positive", regarding to the three stages of positivism.
Comte said that society could shift into a positivist society if the sciences, including sociology, are all used to explain things.

Alumni of the École Polytechnique
Berkeley was one of the three 'British Empiricists', philosophers around the late 1600s and 1700s who believed in 'empiricism', the philosophy that everything we learn comes through our senses.
The other British Empiricists included the Englishman John Locke and Scotsman David Hume.
His philosophy was called "immaterialism", or "subjective idealism".
His idealism said that all our ideas came through sensations, but our senses didn't tell us anything about the world.
He said that Locke's belief in matter was wrong.
He said that even though we can see, hear, taste, touch and smell, there was no way of knowing that our senses were reacting to matter, because to find out how accurate our senses were, we would need to study the very thing we use to study.
Instead, he said that our experiences are caused by God, a being that is also a mind, like us, and powerful enough to create all our ideas and senses.
Berkeley was born at his family home, Dysart Castle, near Thomastown, County Kilkenny, Ireland.
He was educated at Kilkenny College and attended Trinity College, Dublin, completing a Master's degree in 1707.
