However, and between 1931 and 1934 a series of bad results left the team trailing.
Corinthians lost to all their big rivals of the time and failed to make an impression in the league, never finishing higher than fourth.
The turnaround came in 1937, and for the rest of the decade there was only one team in the state.
Corinthians won the Paulista Championship in 1937, 1938 and 1939 to become the first team ever to win three back-to-back titles three times.
Even today, no other team has managed to equal such a feat.
The man who led the way was centre-forward Teleco.
One of the club's greatest ever goalscorers, he topped the scoring charts in 1937 and 1939.
The former year he scored almost half the club's goals, while in the latter he got an amazing 60 percent.
100th Goal
The 100-goal attack made history not only for the club but also for the league.
In 1951, a front line made up of Carbone, Cláudio, Luizinho, Baltazar and Mário scored 103 goals in 30 games in the Paulista Championship, an average of 3.43 per game.
The title was theirs, as was the trophy for top goalscorer, which went to Carbone, who got 30 of the team's goals.
In the years that followed, more titles were added to the growing trophy room at Parque São Jorge.
In 1952, the Timão won the Paulista Championship for the second successive year, with Baltazar finishing top scorer.
In 1953, they took the Rio-São Paulo title and the Little World Cup - the club's first international title - and in 1954 they walked off with another Rio-São Paulo as well as the Paulista do IV centenário de São Paulo.
In 1956 and 1957, they won the Invencible Trophy, the cup given to the team that went the longest number of games undefeated.
The Corinthians Invasion
In 1976, Corinthians almost won their first Brazilian League title and the club's fans played a starring role in one of the most memorable moments in footballing history.
Corinthians were drawn against Fluminense in the semi-finals of the league play offs at the Maracanã.
More than 70,000 Corinthians fans made the six-hour trip up the motorway to Rio de Janeiro in a massive convoy that was christened the "Corinthians Invasion."
10.13.1977
Corinthians won the first game but lost the second and so needed to win a third and deciding match to take the title.
It was quite a struggle, with the match goalless until the 81st minute.
Then, a Zé Maria free kick was directed onto the bar by Vaguinho.
Wladimir headed the rebound back towards goal where Oscar was on hand to knock it off the line.
The ball fell to Basílio in the area and he hammered it into the net and gave Corinthians the goal they so desperately wanted.
The 1977 Paulista Championship was theirs.
The Democracy team
The Timão was always one of the most important clubs in Brazil.
But the Corinthians Democracy movement was unique in world football.
Through organisation, team spirit and democracy, they did something no other team has managed before or since.
When players as politically and socially conscientious as Sócrates, Wladimir, Casagrande and Zenon get together then there are bound to be changes in the dressing room.
Those four stars were the driving force behind the greatest ideological movement in the history of Brazilian football: Corinthians Democracy.
And this in the middle of the country's military dictatorship.
Corinthians Democracy did something that seemed impossible.
Through football, the most popular sport in the country, they got people talking about all sorts of important and relevant questions concerning society, democracy and the end of military rule.
In addition to that not inconsiderable feat, they showed that it was possible to create a society in which everyone's opinions are heard and respected and where democracy, through the imposition of the wishes of the majority, could prevail.
They won the Paulista Championship in 1982 and 1983, beating city rivals São Paulo both times.
In 1982, they battled back after losing the first game 3-2 to take the next two matches 1-0 and 3-1 and lift the trophy.
The next year they won again, thanks to a series of brilliant performances from Sócrates.
The good doctor scored all the team's goals in the semi-finals against Sociedade Esportiva Palmeiras (1-1 and 1-0) as well as in the final against São Paulo Futebol Clube (1-0 and 1-1).
His four goals brought the team their 19th Paulista Championship.
Glorious Decade
In 2000, Corinthians, who captured FIFA Club World Championship victory against Vasco da Gama(win 4-3 on penalties) at the Maracanã Stadium.
This match had attendance of 73,000 peoples.
This is the most important title of Corinthians.
Corinthians played the final game with Dida, Índio, Fábio Luciano, Adílson & Kléber; Vampeta (Gilmar), Rincón, Marcelinho Carioca & Ricardinho (Edu); Edílson (Fernando Baiano) & Luizão.
The final months of 2004 marked a new era for the Timão and for Brazilian football.
The partnership between MSI and Corinthians revolutionised the game and brought internationalists like Carlos Tévez, Javier Mascherano, Roger, Carlos Alberto and Gustavo Nery to the club.
The future was bright for the club and fans could not help but feel optimistic they would enjoy many more triumphs in the coming years.
And so it proved, with success coming quicker than they could have hoped for.
Led by Argentine star Carlos Tévez, the Timão had a sensational league campaign in 2005 and won their fourth Brazilian League Title in 2005.

Lyrics are the words to a song.
A person who writes lyrics is called a lyricist.
The lyrics of a song will usually have a meaning.
Some times the meaning is easy to find but other times it can be very difficult to know what the lyrics mean.
Some lyrics are so strange that it is nearly impossible to understand them.
In such cases, people tend to look more at the form, articulation, meter, and symmetries of the lyrics instead of looking at their meaning.
There are many websites that have the lyrics to songs.
This may be a bad thing since many web sites include copyrighted lyrics without permission from the copyright holder.
The United States Music Publishers' Association (MPA), which represents sheet music companies, created a campaign against such sites in December 2005.
MPA president Lauren Keiser said that the sites are "completely illegal" and that he wanted to see some site operators put in prison.
Etymology and usage
I would be the Lyric
Ever on the lip,
Rather than the Epic
Memory lets die.
–Thomas Bailey Aldrich
The word lyric was used for the "words of a popular song" about 1876  for the first time.
The plural lyrics was used only in referring to the words of several songs.
That it is used for the words of a single song as its lyrics became increasingly common (probably because of the association between lyrics and the plural form words), and is common in modern usage of today's society.
Use of the singular form lyric is still grammatically acceptable.

Asian Dust (also yellow dust, yellow sand, yellow wind, or China dust storms) is a weather occurrence that happens each year.
It affects much of East Asia during the spring.
The dust comes from deserts in Mongolia, northern China, and Kazakhstan.
The dust comes from surface winds and dust storms in the desert.
The wind carries the clouds eastward to China, Japan, Eastern Siberia, and the Koreas.
Smaller particles in the clouds can travel much farther to places like the United States.
In the last ten years, these dust storms have become a serious problem because they have picked up industrial pollutants.

A service of worship is a religious meeting where people of a church come together, usually in a cathedral or church building, in order to worship God.
It may also be called a church service or prayer service or just service.
It is the usual term used in the Christian religion for such a meeting.
The term is also used sometimes in Judaism, although prayer service or just service are more common.
In the Protestant church services are usually led by a pastor, although sometimes they may be led by laymen (people who are not priests).
In Catholic churches and some others, they are called "Mass".
Services often include Holy Communion or Eucharist.
Matins is a morning service which does not include communion.
An evening service is called Evensong.
In Judaism, each prayer service is built around two main elements:  Shema and Amida.
But there are 3 prayers required for each day.
The three daily prayers in Judaism are Shaharit (Shacharit) for morning prayer, Minha (Mincha) for afternoon prayer and Arvit or Maariv for evening prayer.
The basics of each prayer consist of the Shema (although the afternoon prayer does not require Shema), and the Amida (standing prayer) which is the definitive prayer of each service.
Fundamentally, when a Jew says "prayer", he or she means Amida.
Everything else (which is largely Psalms) is just detail.
The Shema.
The Shema includes three paragraphs from the Torah:  , , and .
These three paragraphs include the most basic ideas about Judaism, God, and God's relationship with the Jewish people.
The text of the Shema says it should be said "when you go to bed" and "when you wake up".
Because of this, Shema is said at the morning and evening prayer services, but not the afternoon service.
The Amidah.
The Amidah ("standing prayer") is a group of blessings about everything in the relationship between God and Jews.
After the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, prayer became a substitute for sacrifices.
Because of this, Amidah is said at the same time of day as sacrifices:
Morning and afternoon every day, at the time of the daily burnt-offering
Evening every day, at the time when remaining pieces of the day's sacrifices were burned
Musaf.
Late morning on Shabbat, Rosh Chodesh (day of new Jewish month) and major Jewish holidays, because additional sacrifices were offered then
Ne'ilah.
Late afternoon at the end of Yom Kippur
Jewish prayer services are held whenever the Amidah prayer is said.
In the morning and evening, they also include Shema.

For the Wikipedia style guide, see Wikipedia:Manual of Style.
A style guide (also known as style manual) is a set of rules for language usage and design of documents (records).
Some style guides are about things related to graphic design, such as arranging words and white space on a page.
Website style guides often help with visual or technical things.
Literary style guides help with choosing the best words, common errors in grammar, punctuation and spelling; and help for how to express ideas in a precise, fair and forceful way.
Some modern style guides are for use by all people.
These are usually more about language than about how it should look.
Like language itself, many style guides change as time passes.
For example, the Associated Press stylebook is updated every year.
The Retiro Park is the best known park in Madrid.
It was planned in 1632 as palace gardens by King Felipe IV.
'Retiro' means retreat or a place to rest.
When it was first built, it was a little way from the city.
Now, the city has become so big that it is in the city center.
It was opened to the public in 1868.
Places in the park include a famous rose garden, a museum, a boating lake and the Crystal Palace.
Many shows and street theaters can be seen at the park on weekends.

The Palacio de Cristal or Crystal Palace is a large glass building in Madrid, Spain.
It is located in the Retiro Park on the Paseo Duque de Fernán Nuñez.
The palace was built in 1887 to keep exotic plants from the Philippines.
It is made of glass and steel.
Later in 1924 plastic and rubber were added to it.
The Plaza de Toros de Las Ventas is a building in Madrid, Spain used mainly for bullfighting.
Sometimes it is just called Las Ventas.
It is made of red brick and ceramic tiles.
It was built in 1929 by José Espelious and Muñoz Monasterio.
The first bullfight was June 17, 1931.
It is also used for concerts.
Most fights start at 7 p.m. when the sun is not too hot.
Tickets are sold for 'sol' or 'sombra'.
The 'sombra' tickets for seats not in the sunlight cost more.
The yellow spot or macula is an oval yellow spot near the centre of the retina of the human eye.
It has a size of 1.5 millimeters.
It is the area of best vision where maximum amount of cone cells are present.
It is also known as fovea centralis and Macula Lutea.
Most of the sensory cells are present at this spot.
It is another name for the macula.
It is subdivided into the umbo, foveola, foveal avascular zone, fovea, parafovea and perifovea areas.
It has a diameter of 5.5mm in humans.
They contain the pigment Iodopsin and respond to bright light and colour, because of which we can see stuff clearly around us.
It lies at the back of the eye almost center of the horizontal axis of the eyeball.
It is responsible for the central, high-resolution, colour vision that is possible in good light; and this kind of vision is impaired if it is damaged.
It is about 6mm in diameter.
The yellow spot is the most sensitive spot on the retina, the sharpest image of the object forms only here.
The retina is the thin layer of cells that lines the back of the eyeball in humans and in many animals.
It is made mainly of neurons and its role is to sense the light which gets into the eye and send information about it to the brain.
Most information about light that leaves the retina travels through the optic nerve, and is used by the brain to recognize what you're seeing.
Information about light which travels through the retino-hypothamalic tract is for adjusting circadian rhythms to the 24-hour day.
The center of the human retina, called the fovea centralis, or just fovea, has the most rod cells and cone cells for receiving light.
Even though the fovea takes up only 1.5 square millimeters, it plays the most important roles in vision.
It is only around 1% of the human retina, but the fovea sends about as much information to the visual cortex as the rest of the retina combined.

The band was formed in 1979 in Edinburgh, Scotland.

List of shows
4Kids Entertainment gets most of its Anime series from Japan.
Before showing the series in the United States and United Kingdom, the series are edited.
This editing includes changing the words from Japanese to English.
It may also include changing other things which could be thought to be bad.
For example, cigarette smoking is often removed before being shown in the United States.
Changing the names of items from Japanese items to American items is also often done.
This is done so the person watching can understand the show more easily.
Many times the story of an episode is changed completely to make it better for children.
Some people believe all the changes to the Anime is a bad thing.
They say that the series should be shown exactly the same as it was originally created.
They feel 4Kids made "Americanized kiddy version" of the original series and that it is not right to do this.

Cubism was one of the most significant art movements of the 20th century.
It began in France about 1907, and flourished from 1910 through the 1920s.
It was pioneered by Georges Braque and Pablo Picasso.
Pablo Picasso's 1907 painting Les Demoiselles d'Avignon was an early Cubist work.
Georges Braque's 1908 Houses at L’Estaque (and related works) prompted the critic Louis Vauxcelles to refer to "bizarreries cubiques" (cubic oddities).
The first organized group exhibition by Cubists took place at the Salon des Indépendants in Paris in the spring of 1911.
It included works by Jean Metzinger, Albert Gleizes, Fernand Léger, Robert Delaunay and Henri Le Fauconnier, but no works by Picasso and Braque were exhibited.
According to one art historian, there were three phases of Cubism.
There was "Early Cubism", (from 1906 to 1908) when the movement was initially developed by Picasso and Braque.
In the second phase, "High Cubism", (from 1909 to 1914), Juan Gris emerged as an important exponent after 1911.
Finally "Late Cubism" (from 1914 to 1921) was the last phase of Cubism as a radical avant-garde movement.
Douglas Cooper's emphasis on the work of Braque, Picasso, Gris (from 1911) and Léger (to a lesser extent) was an intentional value judgement.
Its methods
Cubism is a style of art which aims to show all of the possible viewpoints of a person or an object all at once.
It is called Cubism because the items represented in the artworks look like they are made out of cubes and other geometrical shapes.
Cubism was first started by Pablo Picasso and Georges Braque.
Analytical Cubism is the first type of cubism.
Most analytical Cubists painted and drew in monochrome (only one colour) so that the person who was looking at the painting did not pay attention to colour, but only to the shapes and the forms that were being shown.
This was changed in 1912 when Picasso first started painting with colours and using collages.
Collage is when you glue together different cut-up pieces of paper to make an artwork.
This new form of Cubism was called Synthetic Cubism.
Picasso invented collage because he was tired of the way he was making his art, and wanted to try out something new.
Pablo Picasso created over 20,000 pictures.
From 1912 to 1919 was Picasso's Synthetic Cubism Period.
Analytical Cubism - The first stage of the Cubism movement was called Analytical Cubism.
In this style, artists would study (or analyze) the subject and break it up into different blocks.
They would look at the blocks from different angles.
Then they would reconstruct the subject, painting the blocks from various viewpoints.
Synthetic Cubism - The second stage of Cubism introduced the idea of adding in other materials in a collage.
Artists would use colored paper, newspapers, and other materials to represent the different blocks of the subject.
This stage also introduced brighter colors and a lighter mood to the art.

VA is a quantitative measure of the ability to identify black symbols on a white background at a standardized distance when the size of the symbols is varied.
The VA represents the smallest size that can be reliably identified.
VA is the most common clinical measurement of visual function.
Some people may suffer from other visual problems, such as color blindness, reduced contrast, or inability to track fast-moving objects and still have normal visual acuity.
Thus, normal visual acuity does not mean normal vision.
The reason visual acuity is very widely used is that it is a test that corresponds very well with the normal daily activities a person can handle, and evaluate their impairment to do them.

Bob Baker (October 26 1926 - April 23 2002) was an American boxer who fought professionally from 1949 to 1960.
He was one of the world's leading bulky heavyweight boxers in the 1950s.
Bob "The Grinder, Big Bob, The Behemoth" Baker was born in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania.
After serving 3 years in the navy, he fought out of Pittsburgh.
His most notable accomplishments include the 1949 Pennsylvania Intercity Golden Gloves championship in the heavyweight division.
In 1947, he won Pittsburgh Golden Gloves Championship.
His amateur record is respectable 33-2.
In 1948, Coley Wallace won an unpopular split decision vs. Marciano in the semifinal of the New York Golden Gloves Tournament of Champions and then he won the final of that tournament by an unpopular very close split decision vs 'Big' Bob Baker.
In 1948, Wallace & Baker met again in the final match.
This time Baker won & became 1948 Golden Gloves champion again.
From April 1955 until February 1956, Bob Baker was ranked as the leading challenger to Rocky Marciano's heavyweight title by IBC-International Boxing Club, however Ring Magazine still rated him as #2.
On Wednesday, December 7th 1955, Baker beat Nino Valdez in a rematch, again by unanimous decision.
The winner of that fight was scheduled to fight Marciano.
After 13 straight wins (Baker's dozen), Baker lost to Tommy Hurricane Jackson on February 3 1956, in New York's Madison Square Garden.
It was a conytorversial split decision win for Jackson.
In May 1956, Baker easily defeated John Holman.
Baker also lost another controversial split decision rematch with Jackson on September 26 1956.
Both fights should have been draws.
Opinions on both Baker-Jackson fights were divided in many publications with most of them giving the fight to Baker.
United Press scored the fight 7-5 for Baker.
A poll of all 13 ringside writers favored Baker 9-4.
After 1956, Baker's success was limited.
His most notable victory was a sound unanimous decision defeat of solid Canadian George Chuvalo, the future Canadian heavyweight champion, by unanimous decision on September 9 1957.
Chuvalo was also a multiple time championship contender in the 1960s and 1970s.
Baker died on April 23 2002, from acute heart failure, in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
He is survived by his son Bob Baker jr.

Polyethylene (also called polyethene, usually shortened to PE) is a thermoplastic.
It is used in consumer goods, typical examples are transport wraps, and garbage bags.
Other uses include pre-fabricated plastic parts, plastic tubes, and insulation of electric cables.
Plastic wrap is usually less adhesive than PVC, but this can be remedied by adding linear low-density polyethylene (LLDPE), which also increases the film's tensile strength.
The world makes over 80 million tonnes of polyethylene per year.
Polyvinyl chloride, also called Polychloroethene or PVC, is a thermoplastic.
It turns soft when heated and hard when cooled.
Polyvinyl chloride is made by polymerization of the monomer vinyl chloride (chloroethene) CH2=CHCl.
PVC can be made softer and more flexible by adding plasticizers.
Phthalates are often used to soften PVC in this way.
Vinyl polymers are the most common type of plastic. "
Vinyl" is actually Ethylene, a gas that is used to make those plastics including PVC.
In popular usage, "vinyl" is often short for PVC, but there are two other vinyl polymers which are more common.
The most common is polyethylene, the second-most common is polypropylene.
Another, less used, is polystyrene.
Softened PVC is used in clothing, upholstery, electrical cable insulation, and other products instead of rubber.
In the 1950s PVC became the usual material of phonograph records.
Some audiophiles use the word "vinyl" to mean records made of PVC.
It is used for electrical insulation of wires and cables, production of sheets, pipes (mainly chlorinated polyvinyl chloride), window frames, films, films for stretch ceilings, artificial leathers, polyvinyl chloride fiber, polyvinyl chloride foam, linoleum, dirt-resistant mats, shoe plastics, furniture edges, etc.
About half of the polyvinyl chloride resin manufactured each year is used to make pipes.
PVC pipes are 66% of the newer water pipes in the US.
PVC pipes are 75% of new sewer pipes.
PVC is useful because of its light weight, high strength, and low reactivity.
Also, PVC pipes can be glued together, or they can be connected by heating (similar to joining HDPE pipe).
Both kinds of connections make permanent joints that do not leak.
PVC plastics can be recycled.
Their recycling code is "3".
A polyamide is a polymer made of amides which are joined by peptide bonds.
Examples for polyamides that occur naturally are proteins, such as wool and silk.
It is also possible to artificially produce polyamides, one growth-step at a time.
Examples for artificially-made polyamides are nylons, aramids and Sodium poly(aspartate).

The position of Supreme Leader was created after the Islamic Revolution of 1979 in Iran.
1970s establishments in Iran
The President of Iran is the head of government of the Islamic Republic of Iran.
The president is chosen by direct popular vote, that is the voters choose the president, they do not vote for other people to choose as in the USA.
Unlike other countries, in Iran, the President is not the leader of the country.
The President does many of the things that are normally done by a head of state but the Supreme Leader is the person who is actually in control of the country.
The current President of Iran is Ebrahim Raisi.

Ayatollah Khomeini was born Sayyed Ruhollah Mustafavi Khomeini, 24 September  1902 in Khomein, Central Iran (then Persia), – 3 June 1989) (Persian: روح الله موسوی خمینی).
He was also known as 'Imam Khomeini'.
Khomein was the political leader of the Islamic Revolution in 1979.
Khomeini was also a poet.
His poems are collected together in an Imam Divan.
Khomeini died of intestinal cancer and a heart attack on June 3, 1989, in Tehran at the age of 86.
On June 5, 1964, Khomeini was arrested and sent into exile (kicked from his country).
He was exiled to Iraq, Turkey and then to France.
Khomeini gave many speeches in France against Mohammad Reza Pahlavi, the last Shah of Iran.
On January 16, 1979, Pahlavi left Iran.
Two weeks later, on February 1,  Khomeini returned to Iran.
He received a traditional religious education in Qom (city in Iran).
When he lived in Najaf (a holy city in Iraq) for some years, he spoke about Islam ideas about Government.
During that time, he refined his theory of velayat-e faqih ("government of the jurist").
On February 11, 1979, Khomeini appointed his first own prime minister, Medhi Bazargan.
On March 30, 1979 a referendum took place in Iran and as a result, the monarchy was replaced with an Islamic Republic.
After the Islamic Revolution, Khomeini became Supreme Leader of Iran.
Rushdie fatwa
In early 1989 Khomeini issued a fatwā calling for muslims to kill Salman Rushdie and "all those involved in the publication" of his book called The Satanic Verses.
Rushdie has never been killed.
However the Japanese translator of the book was stabbed to death in 1991.

In Theocracy, a form of government, the institutions and people that govern the state are very close to the leaders of the main religion or are religious leaders themselves.
If the religious leaders do not directly run some bodies of the state, they influence them very much.
The word theocracy comes from two Greek words literally meaning God-government, and meaning the government is run by "The Church".
Modern-day states that are theocracies
The Roman Catholic Bishop of Urgell as the Co-Prince, is one of the two heads of states of Andorra (the other Co-Prince as head of state is the President of France).
His role is mostly ceremonial, and while Roman Catholicism is the official religion of the country, it is not a theocracy.
Iran is a theocratic Islamic republic.
In Iran, two bodies, the Supreme Leader and Guardian Council consist of members who are not elected by the people.
These two bodies are staffed by Shia clerics.
The highest elected official is the President of Iran.
Mohammad Khatami, the former president, said that this model is an alternative to democracy, as it brings in religious elements.
He called it a religious democracy.
The Vatican City is a true theocracy, with no separation of church and state.
The head of the Catholic Church is the leader of the country.
The pope is elected by the Papal Conclave.
Most popes have stayed for the rest of their lives, but some have resigned.
One who resigned was Pope Benedict XVI.
Many states have a state religion (also called official religion).
Israel, for example mixes some aspects of rabbinical law and civil law, even though Judaism is not a state or official religion of the country.
Also, the state hires rabbis.
In some such states, religious leaders also have civil duties, not only religious ones.
Some historic theocratic states
In the Empire of Japan (1868 - 1947), Shinto, the indigenous religion of Japan, was the official state religion (State Shinto), besides, the Emperor of Japan was worshipped, and viewed as, a living deity.
Bhutan was formerly governed as a Buddhist theocracy.
Though the Byzantine Empire was not de facto a theocracy, the Greek Orthodox Church had a significant role and influence in society, and in matters where the Church had a considerable interest, its concerns would have been taken into account, and even to the point of influence the ruler's decision.

The Guardian Council is part of the government of Iran.
It ensures the laws passed by Iran's legislature conform to Islam.
Government agencies
An incumbent is someone who currently holds a political office.
This word is usually used when talking about elections, which are often between the incumbent and one other person or several other people.
For example, Joe Biden is the incumbent President of the United States since he is still president.
It can also be used in sports to let people know if a sportsman still holds the position or award in question.
The Assembly of Experts was created after the Islamic Revolution in Iran.
