In spring 15 AD, the legate Caecina Severus invaded the Marsi a second time with 25,000–30,000 men, causing great havoc.
Meanwhile, Germanicus' troops had built a fort on Mount Taunus from where he marched with 30 to 35,000 men against the Chatti (probably a region of villages) and slaughtered children, women and the elderly.
The able-bodied men fled across a river and hid themselves in the forests.
After this blow Germanicus marched on Mattium and burned the city down.
In summer 15 AD, the army visited the site of the first battle.
According to Tacitus, they found heaps of bones, and skulls nailed to trees, which they buried, "...looking on all as kinsfolk and of their own blood...".
Burial pits with remains fitting this description have been found at Kalkriese Hill.
Under Germanicus, the Romans marched another army, with allied Germanic soldiers, into Germania in 16 AD.
He was able to fight his way across the Weser near modern Minden, suffering some losses.
He forced Arminius' army to stand in open battle at the Weser River.
Germanicus's legions inflicted huge casualties on the Germanic armies while sustaining only minor losses.
One final battle was fought at the Angivarian Wall, west of modern Hanover.
Again many Germanic soldiers were killed, which forced them to flee.
In summer 16 AD, Caius Silius marched against the Chatti with 33,000 men.
Germanicus invaded the Marsi for a third time and devastated their land.
With his main goals reached and winter coming, Germanicus ordered his army back to their winter camps, with the fleet getting damaged in a storm in the North Sea.
After a few more raids across the Rhine, with the recovery of two of the three Roman legions' eagles lost in 9 AD, Tiberius ordered the Roman forces to halt and withdraw across the Rhine.
Germanicus was recalled to Rome and informed by Tiberius that he would be given a Triumph and a new command.
Arminius, who had been considered a real threat to stability by Rome, was now defeated.
Once his allied Germanic coalition had been broken and honour avenged, the huge cost and risk of keeping the Roman army operating beyond the Rhine was not worth any likely benefit to be gained.
The last chapter of this story is told by the historian Tacitus.
Around 50 AD, bands of Chatti invaded Roman territory and began to plunder (take everything of value).
The Roman commander, with a legionary force supported by Roman cavalry and auxiliaries, attacked the Chatti from both sides and defeated them.
The Romans were ecstatic when they found Roman prisoners, including some from Varus' legions who had been held by the Chatti for 40 years.
Later German nationalism
The battle, and the histories of Tacitus, had a big effect on 19th century German nationalism.
In the 19th century the Germans were still divided into many German states, but they linked themselves with the Germanic tribes as shared ancestors of one "German people".
In 1808, the German author Heinrich von Kleist's play Die Hermannsschlacht aroused anti-Napoleonic sentiment, even though it could not be performed under French occupation.
Later, the figure of Arminius was used to represent the ideals of freedom and unification – as supported by German liberals, and opposed by reactionary rulers.
A memorial – the Hermannsdenkmal – was begun during this period, and Arminius became a symbol of Pan-Germanism.
The monument remained unfinished for decades, until after the Franco-Prussian War of 1870–71 unified the country.

is list of wakas written by 100 famous waka poets.
They are cards that have writing on them.
There are 200 cards divided into two groups – 100 Yomifuda cards and 100 Torifuda cards.
Hyakunin Isshu as a game
Hyakunin isshu is a popular game in Japan.
It is played often during the New Year season.
A few games are possible using these cards.
Karuta is the most popular game.
A reader reads Kaminoku (the upper words) and Shimonoku (the lower words), and the players compete to see how fast they can pick the matching card.
The Kaminoku is not written on the cards, so the players who memorize the Kaminoku have an advantage.
The player who can get the most cards wins.
The beginning words are 5,7,5 (about 17 characters), called Kaminoku.
The second part are 7,7, called Shimonoku.
Management System of Japanese railways
Japan Railways Group (Japan Railway companies)
JR is made up of seven companies in following areas: Hokkaido, Higashi-Nihon, Tokai, Nishi-Nihon, Shikoku, Kyushu and freight
Private railway (私鉄 Shitetsu)
Private railway can be classified as Shitetsu for narrow gauge railways (私鉄), and Koei (公営) for public railways, such as the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Bureau of Transportation.
Classification of Japanese railways by structure
Shinkansen（新幹線, meaning "New main line"）(width of rail track  is Standard Gauge (1,435mm); speeds of up to 300km/h)
Zairaisen（在来線, meaning "Older railway line"） (width of rail track is usually Cape gauge (1,067mm); slower speeds)
Subway（地下鉄）
Tram（路面電車）
Monorail（モノレール）
Trolley bus（トロリーバス)
Funicular（ケーブルカー）

Usability or User-friendly is a term meaning easy-to-use.
It is used when talking about simple user interfaces.
An Electro-optic modulator is an optical device.
It is made of a material that has a so-called electro-optical effect.
This means that the material changes its optical properties when there is an electric field.
One example is then when there is no electricity, light can pass through, and when there is, it cannot, and is reflected.
Liquid crystals are special substances that are usually liquid, but that show certain properties of a solid crystal.
A liquid crystal (LC) may flow like a liquid, but its molecules may be rotated in a crystal-like way.
There are many different types of liquid crystal phases.
Different phases are different because their optical properties are different.
Using a microscope and a polarized light source, different liquid crystal phases will have different textures.
This is also shown in the image.
The contrasting areas in the texture each correspond to a domain where the LC molecules are rotated in a different direction.
Within a domain, however, the molecules are well ordered.
LC materials may not always be in an LC phase (just as water is not always in the liquid phase: it may also be found in the solid and gaseous phase).
Turing complete is a term used in computability theory to describe abstract machines, usually called automata.
Such an automaton is Turing complete, if it can be used to emulate a Turing machine.
It is also called computationally universal.
Most modern programming languages are Turing-complete.
There are languages that are used to classify and describe the contents of documents; for example HTML.
HTML is not Turing complete, because it cannot actively change the state of the system.
HTML can be combined with a technology such as JavaScript; both together can be made Turing complete.
The standard regular expressions, which most programming languages use, are not Turing complete either.
Most regular expression engines have been adapted to include back-references.
The problem with this is that a finite automaton cannot handle back references.
The River Trent is one of the major rivers of England.
It is the third longest river in the United Kingdom.
It starts in Staffordshire.
It flows through the centre of England until it joins the River Ouse to form the River Humber (estuary) which empties into the North Sea.
The name "Trent" comes from a Celtic word possibly meaning "strongly flooding".
More specifically, the name may be a contraction of two Celtic words, tros ("over") and hynt ("way").
It is unusual amongst English rivers in that it flows north (for the second half of its route), and is also unusual in exhibiting a tidal bore, the "Aegir".
The area drained by the river includes most of the northern Midlands.
Navigation Today
The river is legally navigable for some  below Burton upon Trent.
However for practical purposes, navigation above the southern terminus of the Trent and Mersey Canal (at Shardlow) is conducted on the canal, rather than on the river itself.

Kirkcudbright is the county town of Kirkcudbrightshire, Scotland.
Ayrshire is a county on the west coast of Scotland.
The county town is Ayr but the biggest towns are  Kilmarnock and Irvine.
There used to be three districts called "bailieries" which were later put together to make up the shire of Ayrshire.
The three districts were:
Cunninghame in the north (which included the royal burgh of Irvine)
Kyle in the middle (which included the royal burgh of Ayr)
Carrick in the south.

A photographic filter is a lens that is used in photography to filter the light.
There are different kinds of filters:
Clear filters, commonly known as window glass are put in front of a lens to protect the camera lens.
UV filters are used to reduce the haziness, strong UV filters can be used for warming up certain types of color photos in the shade.
They can also correct some of the purple haze on certain digital cameras
Filters are used for color correction; the main use there is to be able to use daylight-type film indoors, or indoor-type film outdoors.
Filters are used to enhance contrast.
Examples for this are color filters (red, orange, green,..) in black and white photography or polarizing filters in color photography.
Polarizing filters remove light with a certain polarity to reduce or increase glare, particularly from window reflections or water.
Neutral Density filters reduce light without changing the color.
Color filters remove light of a particular color.
There are special filters that must be used with film that is sensible to infrared light.
So called diopters or close-up lenses make the image bigger.
They are a cheaper way to do macro photography
A diffusion filter shows a subject softer, by adding some 'fuzziness'; this can be wanted in some cases, usually portraits of a person.
Filters can be cheap or expensive.
Glass (or plastic) that is treated or coated in different ways usually costs more.
Some filters can be screwed in front of a lens that is made for this.
Others can be placed in the back of the lens, or in special filter holders screwed in at the front.

Because of the end of the Soviet Union, Russia went through a large change politically, economically, and militarily.
First off the Soviet Union became the Russian Federation.
People now consider that the Federation is a follow up of the Soviet Union.
However, Post-Soviet Russia lacked the military and political power of the former USSR.
Now that communism died, Russia could elect a President.
In June 1991, Boris Yeltsin was elected as the first president of Russia.
Change in Economy
Boris Yeltsin told his people that he would help the economy.
One thing he did was help improve trade with other countries.
However, not all his ideas would be good.
When Yeltsin lifted price controls, a sudden increase in prices occurred (hyperinflation).
Because the military was hit hard during the fall of the Soviet Union, many plants laid off workers because the Government was not sending the plants any new orders.
This led to large unemployment.
In August 1998 the Russian government devalued the ruble and defaulted on their debt.
This was called the 1998 Russian financial crisis.
This was due in part to the Asian financial crisis and the war in Chechnya.
Many banks were forced to close down.
The government stopped making payment of wages, pensions and when workers were paid, it was often with goods rather than rubles.
Despite this, Russia came back from the August 1998 financial crash with speed.
This was because the price of oil went up.
Having the prices of oil go up, the exportation of the oil form Russia would cost more, this would bring in lots of money for the economy.
Relationships with Countries
Unlike in the Cold war, Russia now said that the West was considered an ally.
In June 1998 they joined the NATO peace-keeping forces.
The Russians also have begun relationships with China.
In 1997 the Russians made a treaty with Belarus
Russia in the 21st century has gone through many changes.
In 2000 Vladimir Putin was made President of Russia.
Through his term he had good and bad approval ratings.
In 2001-2002 Putin took over several media stations.
Issues like this have also occurred with print media.
However Putin has done good things for Russia, Indeed, during real GDP grew on average 6.7% a year, average income increased 11% annually, and a positive balance of the federal budget now let the government to cut 70% of its debt during his term.
Hurricane Henriette was the deadliest tropical cyclone of the 2007 Pacific hurricane season.
The storm, which caused nine fatalities, formed from an area of cloud on August 30, 2007, and became a tropical storm the next day.
The storm moved along the Mexican Pacific coast, and it rained very heavily.
The city that had the most problems was Acapulco, Guerrero, where six people were killed by landslides, and where over 100 families had to leave after the La Sabana River flooded.
Henriette then turned north and headed towards the Baja California peninsula, and became a Category 1 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson Hurricane Scale.
Henriette made its first landfall east of Cabo San Lucas when it was at its strongest, causing the death of one woman because of rough seas.
Hurricane Henriette then moved over the Sea of Cortez, and made its second landfall near Guaymas, Sonora.
After causing heavy rains in Sonora, the storm weakened over the Sierra Madre Occidental and what was left went on to cause flooding in New Mexico and Texas.
The damaged caused cost about $275 million (2007 MXN, $25 million 2007 USD).
It hit Mexico on the same day Hurricane Felix hit Nicaragua, only one of two time when an Atlantic hurricane and a Pacific hurricane have made landfall on the same day.
Henriette originated from a tropical wave that departed the west coast of Africa on August 20, 2007.
The wave produced some convection while in the Caribbean Sea but reached Central America on August 28 before any significant development could occur.
Early on August 30, the area of low pressure, now 400 miles (640 km) south-southeast of Acapulco, Mexico, started to gain clusters of strong convection.
By the afternoon of August 30 the system continued to show strong convection and had developed a broad but well defined area of low to mid level cyclonic turning.
By 0600 UTC that day the system became a tropical depression about  southeast of Acapulco and was designated as Tropical Depression Eleven-E.
Convection continued but the cyclone was encountering extensive easterly to north-easterly wind shear which stinted the strengthening of this storm throughout its history.
The cyclone initially headed toward the west-northwest around a subtropical ridge that was centered over the western Gulf of Mexico.
The depression moved north west, parallel with the west coast of Mexico due to being steered by the mid/upper-level ridge.
On August 31, it strengthened to become Tropical Storm Henriette, 85 miles (137 km) south of Acapulco.
It continued to move along the Mexican coast bringing heavy rains.
With continued strong convection, Henriette maintained its strengthening and was predicted to reach hurricane strength.
However, despite the low wind shear and apparent warm waters.
Henriette did not strengthen as expected.
This is believed to be due to its proximity to land and colds waters being brought up due to Henriette's slow movement.
The convection and strengthening continued and maintained itself as it moved away from Jalisco.
Henriette turned westward and away from the Pacific coast of Mexico late on September 1 as the subtropical ridge built westward over northern Mexico.
Henriette continued to improve in structure and with the formation of a distinct eye feature, reached hurricane strength on September 4 as it turned north-northwestward toward the Baja California peninsula, ahead of a mid-latitude trough approaching the west coast of the United States.
The hurricane reached its peak intensity of 85 mph (135  km/h) that morning while centered about 75 miles (120 km)south-southeast of Cabo San Lucas.
The center of Henriette made landfall just east of Cabo San Lucas on the afternoon of September 4 with maximum winds near  (130  km/h).
It was over land for only about six hours before emerging into the Sea of Cortez.
The brief interaction with land caused a slight weakening, but Henriette remained a Category 1 hurricane for most of that day.
The next day it made final landfall near Guaymas in the state of Sonora.
Henriette weakened quickly over land and dissipated over the mountains of northwestern Mexico early on September 6.
The remnants of Tropical Storm Henriette continued to track across west Texas and southeastern New Mexico as it was being absorbed by a cold front moving through New Mexico.
The flow of moisture from originating from these remnants, moderate instability, and marginal shear contributed to flash flooding and severe thunderstorms.
The formation of Henriette was not anticipated well in NHC Tropical Weather Outlooks.
The incipient system was first mentioned only about 31 hours before it became a tropical depression, and the potential for the formation of a depression was explicitly stated beginning only about 13 hours prior to genesis.
On August 31, 2007 the National Meteorological Service in Mexico decreed zone of alert from Lagunas de Chacahua, Oaxaca to Cabo Corrientes, Jalisco.
It requested the public to take precautions before the possible coming of rain, intense winds and storm surges in the south and southwestern coasts of Mexico.
The Ministry of Education of Guerrero canceled classes at all schools in the evening and close the port navigation.
Faced with the prospect of Henriette strengthening, The Head of the Harbor Bay in Acapulco stopped all travel for small craft and coastal fisheries.
Also blue and yellow flags were raised as a preventive measure for swimmers.
On September 4, the port of Mazatlán, Sinaloa had to be shut down to all navigation due to the inclement weather produced by the hurricane.
The port authority reported that Henriette produced waves surpassing 4 meters (13 ft) in height.
The Carnival Pride cruise scheduled to arrive at the port had to be diverted out to sea as a result of the port's closure.
In the city itself, school was suspended for two days, and officials stated that approximately 600 famiilies might have to be evacuated.
Further north, the port of Topolobampo, Sinaloa was also closed due to Henriette's threat, and 20 families were evacuated from their homes in an ejido.
In La Paz, the Municipal Direction of Civil defense informed that the first of 13 temporary shelters would be opened and anticipated the evacuation of more than 2000 people that lived in high-risk zones.
In some areas, the local police recommended to the population, mostly those living in areas of high risk, that they should take care not to leave their homes unless necessary and to find evacuation routes and temporary shelters.
Both Manuel Márquez de León International Airport in La Paz and Los Cabos International Airport in San José del Cabo were shut down, stranding 7,500–8,500 tourists.
Henriette also forced the ports in Los Cabos to close completely, and the port in La Paz to close to small craft.
Henriette struck hardest in the resort town of Acapulco.
Though the storm never passed closer than  to the town, heavy rains along the coast saturated the ground, leading to mudslides.
Six people were reported dead as a result of rockslides in two suburban neighborhoods of the city and in the port itself.
Three were killed by a huge rock hitting their house, and the other three were killed when their dwellings partially collapsed.
In addition, flooding from the overflowing of the River La Sabana, led to the evacuation of at least one hundred families from around the river by the Consejo Estatal de Proteccion Civil.
Jorge Antonio Pacheco Albert, Director of Civil Protection for the Port of Acapulco, reported that approximately 800 were injured during the passage of Henriette along the coast and that 337 people relocated to temporary shelters.
In Michoacán, Henriette damaged 10,000 square meters (107,000 sq.
ft) of beach near Ixtapilla, destroying approximately 5,000 Olive Ridley turtle nests, comprising 10% of the endangered species's nests in the state.
In Sonora, the hurricane destroyed 450 homes and damaged another 5,000 dwellings in Etchojoa and Huatabampo, which both have large Mayo Indian populations.
The storm's precipitation flooded nearby agricultural fields, stopping wheat production, forcing local government to fumigate the region to try to prevent a dengue fever outbreak.
In the Yaqui River valley, two people were killed, and another 70 homes were destroyed by Henriette's winds.
Throughout the state, 24,000 families were left homeless.
One woman died due to high surf near Cabo San Lucas on the Baja California peninsula.
Two fishermen were reported killed off the Sonora coast.
The road connecting Guaymas to Ciudad Obregón was closed due to damage from the overflow of the brook Cocoraque which stranded around 600 cars.
Lázaro Cárdenas was affected when the Acalpican River broke its banks.
At least 50 houses in the community of El Habillal, were flooded by water levels of up to .
The residents had to leave their houses and be relocated in provisional housing.
The remnants of Henriette caused flash floods and surface water 8–12 inches (20–30 cm) deep which covered roads with depths up to 1.5 inches (4 cm) in the U.S. States of New Mexico and Texas.
Hail also accumulated on roadways.
Damage in Mexico totaled about $275 million (2007 MXN, $25 million 2007 USD).
The name Henriette was not retired from use by the World Meteorological Organization, and will be used again in 2013.

Charles Stewart Parnell (27 June 1846 – 6 October 1891) was an Irish member of the House of Commons of the United Kingdom.
He led the Irish Parliamentary Party.
He played an important part in the fight for Home Rule for Ireland.
Charles Stewart Parnell was born in Avondale, County Wicklow.
His family was upper class.
He was the seventh child of John Henry Parnell and his American wife Delia Tudor Stewart.
Parnell's great-grandmother was in the Tudor family so he was related to the British Royal Family.
His parents separated when he was six.
He was sent to different schools in England, where he was unhappy.
His father died in 1859 and he inherited his fortune.
He then studied at Cambridge University (1865-9) but never graduated.
He was Sheriff of his county, Wicklow, prior to being an MP (member of the House of Commons).
Charles Stewart Parnell was first elected to the House of Commons, as a Home Rule League MP for Meath, on 21 April 1875.
During his first year Parnell mostly stayed quiet and watched.
He first drew attention in 1876 when he said a group of Irish rebels called Fenians (accused of killing a police officer) did not kill anyone.
Home Rule
Parnell fought for Ireland's right to be self-governing Home Rule Movement.
At first he met with Fenians, but he later decided to work with Michael Davitt.
He was elected president of Davitt's movement, (called the "Land League") on 21 October 1879.
After becoming the MP for Cork City, he formed a new group with ideas from many other groups called the Irish National League which later became the Irish Parliamentary Party.
Although Ireland did not become independent for many years, Parnell's work in Parliament pushed Ireland much closer to their goal by unifying Irish politics.
Katherine O'Shea
On 24 December 1889 Captain William O’Shea decided to divorce his wife Katherine O'Shea.
O'Shea had already separated from his wife, but would not divorce her as she was expecting a substantial inheritance.
O'Shea at last filed for divorce.
He claimed she had an affair and three children with Parnell.
Parnell did not reply to the claim, and the divorce was granted.
Because divorce is not allowed by Catholics, many Catholics who supported Parnell did not like him anymore and he became less popular.
Parnell married Katherine after her divorce.
The damage from his affair caused many people to lose respect for him, and he became less powerful.
Many members of his party left him.
He died on 6 October 1891 of a heart attack and in the arms of his wife.
