"Peace Sells" is a song by the American thrash metal band Megadeth from the 1986 album Peace Sells... but Who's Buying?,
written by Dave Mustaine.
It, along with Wake Up Dead from the same album, has been a staple at Megadeth concerts.
Lyrically, it deals with negative stereotypes about "metalheads", all of which Mustaine claims are untrue.
VH1 has ranked "Peace Sells" at #11 on their list of the 40 greatest metal songs of all time.
Music video was produced for the song, which features a teenage boy, wearing a Slayer t-shirt, watching a montage of a live Megadeth performance and war footage on his living room television set.
The boy's father, states "What is this garbage you're watching?
I want to watch the news!,"
and changes the television channel to a news station using the remote control.
His son, replying with "This is the news!,"
changes it back to the Megadeth performance using the TV set's channel knob.
This part of the video was parodied by comedian Brian Posehn in his Metal by Numbers video.
The beginning of the video also showed the explosion of the original low-cost skull used on the previous album Killing Is My Business... and Business Is Good!
Appearances and covers
Opening bassline was used as the theme for MTV News.
Mustaine claims he never received any royalties for MTV's usage of the song.
It is featured in 2002 video game Grand Theft Auto: Vice City.
It is featured in video game True Crime: Streets of LA.
It is featured in video game NHL 10.
It is playable track in 2008 music video game Rock Band 2.
It is downloadable content for 2009 music video game Guitar Hero 5.
Tigertailz covered the song and it can be found on their 1991 B-sides compilation album Banzai!.
A Philosopher Lecturing on the Orrery is an 18th-century oil painting by Joseph Wright of Derby.
Its full title is A Philosopher giving that Lecture on the Orrery in which a lamp is put in place of the Sun.
The painting shows a teacher talking about the sun and planets to his class.
Wright later created his similar An Experiment on a Bird in the Air Pump (National Gallery, London) in 1768.
Wright's The Orrery, caused a great debate, because in the past, only religious events were used to express awe.
Wright used science to do so.
In an age of much new technology, he treated religious events and scientific miracles.
In the orrery demonstration, the shadows created by the lamp mimic the sun, and it is a part of the display of heliocentrism.
He used a single candle to make his painting dramatic.
In two later paintings, the lighting is normal.
One person called Wright "a very great and uncommon genius in a peculiar way".
The Orrery was painted without payment.
Wright expected that Washington Shirley, 5th Earl Ferrers, an amateur astronomer, will buy the painting, because Shirley had his own orrery, and Wright's friend Peter Perez Burdett was staying with him.
Figures are considered to be portraits of Burdett and Ferrers.
In the picture, Burdett is taking notes and Ferrers is seated with his son next to the orrery.
Ferrers purchased the painting for £210, but the 6th Earl sold it at an auction.
It is now held by Derby Museum and Art Gallery as its permanent display.
Some people say that John Whitehurst was the model for the teacher.
However, other people say the figure is similar to "a painting of Isaac Newton by Godfrey Kneller".

The Frankfurt Parliament (, literally Frankfurt National Assembly) was the first freely elected parliament for all of Germany.
Session was held from May 18, 1848 to May 31, 1849 in the Paulskirche, Frankfurt|Paulskirche at Frankfurt am Main.
It was elected during the "March Revolution" in the states of the German Confederation.
The assembly produced the so-called Paulskirche Constitution () which proclaimed a German Empire based on the principles of parliamentary democracy.
This constitution fulfilled the main demands of the liberal and nationalist movements of the Vormärz and provided a foundation of human rights.
The parliament also proposed a constitutional monarchy headed by a hereditary emperor (Kaiser).
The Prussian king Friedrich Wilhelm IV did not accept the office of emperor when it was offered to him.
He argued such an offer was an offence against the rights of the princes of the individual German states.
In the 20th century, however, major elements of the Frankfurt constitution became models for the Weimar Constitution of 1919 and the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany of 1949.

Text of the Paulskirche Constitution on Documentarchiv.de
King Frederick William IV of Prussia () (15 October 1795 – 2 January 1861) was the eldest son and successor of Frederick William III of Prussia.
He reigned as King of Prussia from 1840 to 1861.
Frederick William was educated by private tutors.
He served in the army during the War of Liberation against Napoleon I of France in 1814, but he was not interested in the army.
He loved both architecture and landscape gardening and was a patron of several great German artists, such as architect Karl Friedrich Schinkel and the composer Felix Mendelssohn.
He married Elisabeth Ludovika of Bavaria in 1823, but the couple had no children.
Frederick William was Romanticist, and had a nostalgia for the Middle Ages, therefore he was conservative already at an early age.
He was against both liberalisation and unification of Germany and preferred to allow Austria to remain the first power in the German states.
In the beginning of his reign he did not continue the reactionary policies of his father, he reduced press censorship and promised a constitution, but he did not want a popular legislative assembly, but preferred to work with the aristocracy.
He was Lutheran, but he released the imprisoned Roman Catholic Archbishop of Cologne, and he decided to help the construction of Cologne Cathedral.
In 1844, he attended the celebrations of the completion of the cathedral, so he was the first king of Prussia who entered a Roman Catholic building.
When he finally called a national assembly in 1847, it was not a representative body, but rather a United Diet which cold speak for all the provincial estates and had the right to grant taxes and loans but no right to meet at regular intervals.
When revolution broke out in Prussia in March 1848, as part of the European Revolutions of 1848, the king initially decided to fight it with the army, but later decided to recall the troops and place himself at the head of the movement on 19 March.
He committed himself to German unification, formed a liberal government, accepted a national assembly, and ordered that a Constitution of the Kingdom of Prussia should be drawn up.
When his position was more secure again, however, he quickly led the army to reoccupy Berlin and dissolved the assembly in December.
But he was still in favour of unification for some time.
So the Frankfurt Parliament offered him the crown of Germany on 3 April 1849.
He did not accept it, but he tried to establish a union of German states excluding Austria.
But rather soon after gave up this plan, when Austria did not accept it.
When he had dismissed the national assembly, Frederick William decided to have a constitution with a parliament with two chambers, an aristocratic upper house and an elected lower house.
The lower house was elected by all taxpayers, but in a system that was based on the amount of taxes paid so that the rich had more influence than the poor.
The constitution also reserved for the king the power to appoint all ministers and reestablished the conservative district assemblies and provincial diets.
And it guaranteed that the bureaucracy and the military remained firmly in the hands of the king.
This was a more liberal system than had existed in Prussia before 1848, but was still a conservative system of government in which the monarch, the aristocracy, and the military kept most of the power.
This constitution lasted until the end of the Prussian kingdom in 1918.

Paranthropus robustus was originally discovered in Southern Africa in 1938.
The development of P. robustus, namely in cranial features, seemed to be aimed in the direction of a "heavy-chewing complex".
Because of the definitive traits that are associated with this robust line of australopithecine, anthropologist Robert Broom erected the genus Paranthropus and placed this species into it.
Australopithecus garhi is a gracile australopithecine species discovered in Ethiopia.
The remains of this hominin are believed to be a human ancestor species, and perhaps the ancestor of the human genus Homo.
The fossils were found in 1996 in the Bouri Formation.
This is in the Middle Awash of Ethiopia's Afar Depression.
Earliest stone tools
Some primitive shaped stone tool artifacts closely resembling Olduwan technology were discovered with the A. garhi fossils, dating back roughly 2.5 and 2.6 million years old.
The tools are thought to be older than those found with Homo habilis, which may be a direct ancestor of more modern hominins.
For a long time anthropologists assumed that only members of early genus Homo had the ability to produce sophisticated tools.
At another site in Bouri, Ethiopia, roughly 3,000 stone artifacts had been found to be about 2.5 million years old in age.
Australopithecus garhi may have been the species responsible for making and using these earliest stone tools.

The World Nuclear Industry Status Report is a yearly report about the global challenges facing the nuclear power industry.
The reports show that the share of nuclear-generated electricity in the overall global energy production has decreased in the 2000s.
Nuclear power now accounts for about 13 percent of the world’s electricity generation and 5.5 percent of primary energy.
2010-11 report
The World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2010-2011 is authored by Mycle Schneider, Antony Froggatt, and Steve Thomas and published by the Washington-based Worldwatch Institute.
The foreword is written by Amory Lovins.
According to the report, the international nuclear power industry has been unable to stop the slow decline of nuclear energy.
The world’s reactor fleet is aging quickly and not enough new units are coming online.
As of April 1, 2011, there were 437 nuclear reactors operating in the world, which was seven fewer than in 2002.
The Olkiluoto plant has had particular problems:
The flagship EPR project at Olkiluoto in Finland, managed by the largest nuclear builder in the world, AREVA NP, has turned into a financial fiasco.
The project is four years behind schedule and at least 90 percent over budget, reaching a total cost estimate of €5.7 billion ($8.3 billion) or close to €3,500 ($5,000) per kilowatt.
The report says that the  Fukushima I nuclear accidents have made things more difficult for nuclear energy.
There is "no obvious sign that the international nuclear industry could eventually turn empirically evident downward trend into a promising future", and the Fukushima nuclear disaster is likely to accelerate the decline.
With long lead times of 10 years and more, it will be difficult to maintain, let alone increase, the number of operating nuclear power plants over the next 20 years.
Moreover, says the report, it is clear that nuclear power development cannot keep up with the pace of renewable energy commercialization.

In 1608, Ferdinando the First of Tuscany organized an expedition under captain Robert Thornton, in order to explore northern  Brazil and the Amazon river and prepare for the establishment of a settlement in northern coastal South America, which would serve as a base to export Brazilian wood to Renaissance Italy.
Thornton expedition
{{Quote|In the first years of the 17th century Ferdinando I of Tuscany evaluated the possibility of a colony in Brasil […] Ferdinando gave captain Thornton a galleon and a "tartane" [for an expedition in 1608] […] Thornton sailed for one year: he reached Guyana and Brasil, exploring the Amazon and Orinoco rivers. […]
In July 1609 he was back in Leghorn, but in February of that year the Grand Duke died and in Florence nobody [after him] was still thinking about establishing an overseas colony.}}
When Thornton returned to Tuscany a year later, he found Ferdinando I dead, and his successor Cosimo II uninterested in the establishment of a colony.
Thornton was ready to sail back to the area between the rivers Orinoco and Amazon in the summer of 1609 with Italian settlers from Livorno and Lucca, but the project was scrapped.
He brought back with him to Tuscany five Arawak natives, most of whom died of smallpox.
Only one lived on at the Medici court for several years, and learned to speak Italian.
These natives often talked about the richness and fertility of their native land, speaking of a country rich in silver and gold.
Thornton himself corroborated these reports, and asserted that the country was rich in rosewood, wild sugar canes, white pepper, balsam, cotton and many other kinds of merchandise which would form an abundant commerce for the Tuscans.
Modern Italian "colonies"
Many Italians (and similarly Germans) moved to America to live under other flags and created the settlements of emigrants, sometimes called "colonies".
Those settlements were made by groups of Italian emigrants who settled together in the same place and around the same time, founding a settlement that still exists today in many cases.
In most of those settlements the Italian language (and dialects) is still spoken today: like in "Capitán Pastene" of Chile, in "Chipilo" of Mexico or in "Nova Veneza" of Santa Catarina (where it is spoken the Talian of Brasil).

Homo cepranensis is a proposed name for a human species, known from only one skull cap discovered in 1994.
The fossil was discovered by archeologist Italo Biddittu and was nicknamed "Ceprano Man" after a nearby town in the province of Frosinone, 89 kilometers Southeast of Rome, Italy.
The age of the fossil is estimated to be between 350,000 to 500,000 years old.[3] An adjacent site, Fontana Ranuccio, was dated to 487,000 +/- 6000 years and Muttoni et al.
suggest that Ceprano is most likely 450,000 years old.
The cranial features on the bone seem to be intermediate between those found on Homo erectus and those of later species such as Homo heidelbergensis which dominated Europe long before Homo neanderthalensis.
There is yet not enough material to make a complete analysis of the individual.
Homo antecessor is an extinct human species dating from 1.2 million to 800,000 years ago, that was discovered by Eudald Carbonell, Juan Luis Arsuaga and J. M. Bermúdez de Castro.
H. antecessor is one of the earliest known human varieties in Europe.
The best-preserved fossil is a maxilla that belonged to a 10-year-old individual found in Atapuerca, Spain.
At the site were numerous examples of cuts where the flesh had been flensed from the bones, which indicates that H. antecessor could have practised cannibalism.
The Right Livelihood Award, widely known as the Alternative Nobel Prize, is a major international award to honour those "working on practical and exemplary solutions to the most urgent challenges facing the world today".
The prize was started in 1980 by Jakob von Uexkull, and is presented each year in early December.
An international jury, invited by the five regular Right Livelihood Award board members, decides the awards in such fields as environmental protection, human rights, sustainable development, health, education, and peace.
The prize money is shared among the winners, usually numbering four, and is EUR 200,000.
Dorothy Wise (1914–1995) is an American professional pool player.
She was born in Spokane, Washington.

She won many local and state tournaments, so she called herself the world champion.
The first national tournament for women happened in 1967.
She won and kept winning for the next five years.
She lost the title in 1972.
She played in the final against 13-year-old Jean Balukas.
She became a member of the Billiard Congress of America Hall of Fame in 1981.
She was the first woman to be made a member.
Dorothy learned to play pool from her husband, Jimmy Wise.
He managed billiard parlors (where people play pool) in several cities around the western United States.
He watched Dorothy win the first national championship in 1967, but died later that year.

The Gelug or Gelug-pa, is a school of Tibetan Buddhism founded by Je Tsongkhapa (1357–1419), a philosopher and Tibetan religious leader.
The first monastery he established was at Ganden, and to this day the Ganden Tripa is the nominal head of the school, though its most famous person is the Dalai Lama.
There are others Gelug Masters, like Trijang Rinpoche and Ling Rinpoche.
Tsongkhapa was a big promoter of the Kadampa (Bka'-gdams-pa) teachings and the mahāyāna principle of universal compassion as the fundamental spiritual orientation.
He combined this with a strong emphasis on the cultivation of in-depth insight into the doctrine of emptiness as taught by the Indian masters Nāgārjuna (2nd century) and Candrakīrti (7th century).
Tsongkhapa said that these two aspects of the spiritual path, compassion and insight into wisdom, must be rooted in a big wish for liberation driven by a genuine sense of renunciation.
He called these the "Three Principal Aspects of the Path", and said that it is on the basis of these three that one must embark on the profound path of vajrayāna Buddhism.
The central teachings of the Gelug School are the Stages of the Path (lamrim), based on the teachings of the Indian master Atiśa (c. 11th century) and the systematic cultivation of the view of emptiness.
This is combined with the yogas of highest yoga tantra deities such as Guhyasamāja, Cakrasaṃvara, Yamāntaka and Kālacakra, where the key focus is the direct experience of the union of bliss and emptiness.
Audie Leon Murphy (June 20, 1925 in Kingston, Hunt County, Texas – May 28, 1971 in Brush Mountain near Roanoke, Virginia), was an American actor and soldier who fought during World War II.

6-plus-6-instruments are musical instruments having each 12 tones.
Their keys or cords are in two rows.
In each row the tone distance is a whole-tone distance.
The distance between both rows is a half-tone distance.
So there is the same fingering in all 6 scales where the base tone is in the same row.
If there is a third row, which is the same like the first row, there is the same fingering in all 12 scales, e. g. on a piano with a Janko keyboard.

Red Barn Murder
The Red Barn Murder was a murder (killing) that happened in Polstead in 1827.
A man named William Corder shot his lover, Maria Marten.
The Red Barn was a local landmark.
Marten and Corder were going to meet at the barn and then elope to (run away and get married) Ipswich.
Corder ran away to London and married another woman.
He sent Marten's family letters that said that Maria was happy and healthy.
Maria Marten's mother had dreams about the murder.
In the dreams, Maria's ghost pointed to where she was buried in the barn.
On April 19, 1828, Maria's body was found in a sack (a bag) in a bin for holding grain.
The London police found Corder and arrested him.
They also found two pistols that he had bought the day of the murder.
The trial started on August 7, 1828.

Quantum gravity is an area of research in physics.
Right now, physics is able to describe gravity of real-life sized objects using general relativity.
Physicists can also describe the universe on a microscopic scale with quantum mechanics.
The goal of quantum gravity is to develop a theory which contains both general relativity and quantum mechanics.
However, combining the theories of the big and the small is very difficult in practice.
Physicists are working on a number of ways to write down a theory of quantum gravity.
One approach is to search for a unified field theory.
Physicists also try to develop theories at an even more fundamental level, like string theory, loop quantum gravity, or other methods, to find out why our current theories of gravity and quantum mechanics cannot be combined.

Asphalt, or bitumen,  is a sticky, black and highly viscous liquid or semi-solid, composed almost entirely of petroleum.
It is present in most crude petroleums and in some natural deposits.
It is the material which made the La Brea tar pits.
Its main use is in road construction.
Mixed with "aggregate" (sand, gravel, crushed stone, etc.)
it makes a good road surface.
It has various other names: pitch, tarmac, blacktop, asphalt concrete, asphalt pavement (US), all mean roughly the same thing.
Asphalt which is liquid is often called tar.
Tar is also used for plant resin.
Solid asphalt is often called pitch.
Although  a block of asphalt or pitch can look like a solid, it still flows, but very slowly.
There have been a few "pitch experiments" to see how long it takes for a drip to form and drop off a block of apparently solid pitch.
