An electoral college is a group of people who are chosen to elect a candidate to a particular office (job).
The electors usually have one vote each.
Often each elector represents a particular organization or entity.
Many times, though, the electors are simply important people whose wisdom would ideally make a better choice than a larger group of people.
The electoral college can ignore the wishes of a general membership.
A similar concept existed in the former Holy Roman Empire, in which the Holy Roman Emperor was elected by the rulers of various provinces of the Empire, or their representatives.
These rulers were referred to as Electors.
For instance, King George III of Great Britain was also Duke and prince-elector of Brunswick-Lüneburg ("Hanover") and later became King of Hanover, though he never visited Hanover.

The University of Oxford and the University of Cambridge ('Oxbridge') form two corners of the triangle.
The third is London: Imperial College, University College London, King's College London and the London School of Economics and Political Science (LSE).
The last three are independent colleges of the University of London.
The universities within the triangle (with the exception of the LSE) attract the highest research incomes of all British universities.
However, it has been argued that it should be replaced by a term like "Brilliant Diamond", to include the University of Manchester.
The figures below suggest that both the universities of Manchester and Edinburgh belong in the same class.
That might better reflect the geographical spectrum of the UK higher education.
Oxford, Cambridge and some of the London institutions collaborate in research.
The Global Medical Excellence Cluster (GMEC) for biomedical research was formed by Oxford, Cambridge, Imperial College, University College London, King's College London and Queen Mary University of London.
Research income
a Excludes the School of Pharmacy, which merged with UCL in January 2012; the School of Pharmacy had a research income of £8,130,000 in the period.
bThe LSE has a much lower research income, perhaps explained by its concentration on social science research.

Lady Elizabeth Delmé and Her Children (1779) is an oil on canvas portrait by Joshua Reynolds.
It hangs in the National Gallery of Art, Washington, DC.
The sitters in the picture are Lady Elizabeth Delmé and her children John and Isabella Elizabeth.
They sat for their portraits in April and June 1777.
Reynolds was paid three hundred pounds for the work in 1780, and touched up and re-varnished the picture in 1789.
Reynolds believed in the what was called the "Grand Manner".
The two years involved in completing the portrait would have aged the children. "
But Reynolds worked from abstract principles of design rather than observation of nature," the National Gallery of Art writes, "One of his conceptions for Grand Manner likenesses was: Each person should have the expression which men of his rank generally exhibit.
Reynolds therefore suppressed psychological individuality to gain a grandeur appropriate for these aristocrats."
Reynolds alluded to the Madonnas of Raphael (such as the Madonna of the Goldfinch) in the triangular configuration of the sitters.
This was another attempt to evoke the Grand Manner.
Rembrandt and Titian are hinted at in the browns of the background.
Cynthia Saltzman writes in Old Masters, New Worlds (2009) that "Lady Delmé has a long, elegant face, heavy-lidded eyes, and towering powdered hair.
She wears a white dress and a cloak that covers her knees in a cascade of rose-colored satin that speaks both to her beauty and to the luxury at her command."
Saltzman writes that Lady Delmé is one of the finest representatives of Reynolds's intent to raise portraiture to the level of history painting.
English portraiture of the period "flattered the sitter", Saltzman explains, by depicting the sitter as a member of a powerful ruling class whose very existence made the world a better place.

St. Edward's Crown is a part of the coronation regalia.
The crown was commissioned for the Coronation of Charles II on 23 April 1661 from the Crown Jeweller, Robert Viner.
After the 1689 coronation of William III, its importance diminished.
It was often carried in procession and set on the altar rather than placed on the Monarch's head.
The Imperial State Crown was used instead for the actual crowning.
It was not until George V's coronation in 1911 that the crown resumed its traditional place.
The present St Edward's Crown contains much of the crown made in 1661 for the coronation of King Charles II.
The crown is made of gold.
It weighs 71oz 14dwt.
It was set with hired stones for the coronations and then reset with imitations for display purposes.
In 1911 it was fitted with 444 semi-precious stones.
The crown frame dates to 1661 but it is possible that it (or parts of it) were constructed from a pre-Restoration crown.
Materials used include gold, silver, platinum, enamel, tourmalines, topazes, rubies, amethysts, sapphires, garnet, peridot, zircons, spinel, aquamarines, velvet, and ermine.
At a coronation, the Archbishop of Canterbury takes the crown from the altar and places it reverently upon the Monarch's head. "
God save the King/Queen" is heard.
The princes and princesses, the peers and peeresses put on their coronets and caps.
The trumpets sound and a royal salute is fired at the Tower of London.
After the crowning, the Monarch is enthroned and receives the homage of the clergy, princes, and peers.

Cry-Baby is a 1990 American romantic teen musical movie written and directed by John Waters.
It stars Johnny Depp as 1950s teen rebel "Cry-Baby" Wade Walker, and also features a large ensemble cast that includes Amy Locane, Iggy Pop, Traci Lords, Ricki Lake, Kim McGuire, David Nelson, Susan Tyrrell, and Patty Hearst.
The film did not achieve high audience numbers in its initial release, but has subsequently become a cult classic and spawned a Broadway musical of the same name which was nominated for four Tony Awards.
The movie is a parody of teen musicals (particularly Grease) and centers on a group of delinquents that refer to themselves as "drapes" and their interaction with the rest of the town and its other subculture, the "squares", in 1954 Baltimore, Maryland. "
Cry-Baby" Walker, a drape, and Allison, a square, create upheaval and turmoil in their little town of Baltimore by breaking the subculture taboos and falling in love.
The film shows what the young couple have to overcome to be together and how their actions affect the rest of the town.
Part of the movie takes place at the now-closed Enchanted Forest amusement park in Ellicott City, Maryland.
Others take place in the historic towns of Reisterstown, Jessup, Milford Mill and Sykesville, Maryland.
In 1954 Baltimore, Wade "Cry-Baby" Walker is the leader of a gang of "Drapes", which includes his teenage mom sister Pepper, facially disfigured Mona "Hatchet Face" Malnorowski, wild and free-spirited Wanda Woodward, and Milton Hackett, the nervous son of overzealous religious activists.
His ability to shed a single tear drives all the girls wild.
One day after school, he is approached by Allison Vernon-Williams, a pretty girl tired of being a "square", and the two fall in love.
That same day, Cry-Baby approaches the "square" part of town to a talent show ("Sh-Boom", "A Teenage Prayer") at the recreation center where Allison's grandmother hosts events, and introduces himself to her, who is skeptical of his motives.
Cry-Baby invites Allison to a party at Turkey Point, a local hangout spot for the drapes.
Despite her grandmother's skepticism, Allison accompanies Cry-Baby to Turkey Point and sings with the drapes ("King Cry-Baby").
As Cry-Baby and Allison tell each other about their orphan lives (Cry-Baby's father was sent to the electric chair after being the "Alphabet Bomber" - a killer who bombed places in alphabetical order airport, barber shop etc.;
Allison's parents always took separate flights to avoid orphaning her if they crashed, but one day both their planes went down), Allison's jealous square boyfriend, Baldwin, starts a riot.
Cry-Baby is blamed for the fight and sent to a penitentiary, outraging all his friends and even Allison's grandmother, who is impressed by Cry-Baby's posture, manners, and musical talent.
As Lenora Frigid, a girl with a crush on Cry-Baby but constantly rejected by him, claims to be pregnant with his child, Allison feels betrayed and returns to Baldwin and the squares, though her grandmother advises her against rushing into a decision.
He tells the tattoo artist, fellow drape Dupree (Robert Tyree): "I've been hurt all my life, but real tears wash away.
This one's for Allison, and I want it to last forever!".
Eventually, Allison is persuaded by the newly established alliance between the Drapes and her grandmother to stand by Cry-Baby and join the campaign for his release ("Please, Mr. Jailer").
Cry-Baby is released but immediately insulted by Baldwin who, after revealing that his grandfather is the one who electrocuted Cry-Baby's father, challenges him to a chicken race.
Cry-Baby wins, as Baldwin chickens out, and is reunited with Allison.

The Jammu and Kashmir conflict (, ) is a dispute over the territory of Kashmir.
The dispute is between India, Pakistan and China.
India claims all of the region that was once a princely state.
It currently controls about 43% of the territory, including most of Jammu, the Kashmir Valley, Ladakh, and the Siachen Glacier.
India's claims are disputed by Pakistan, which controls about 45% of Jammu and Kashmir, including Azad Kashmir and Gilgit-Baltistan.
Pakistan says there should be a referendum in Kashmir on whether the people want to join India or Pakistan, or become independent.
The conflict started during the Partition of India (1947–48).
On October 20, 1947, tribesmen backed by Pakistan invaded Kashmir.
The Maharaja of Jammu & Kashmir initially fought back but on 27 October appealed for assistance to the Governor-General Louis Mountbatten, who agreed on the condition that the ruler accede to India and that a plebiscite would be held afterwards, which was not.
The UN resolution asked Pakistan to vacate the areas it has occupied and asked India to assist the U.N. Plebiscite Commission to organize a plebiscite to determine the will of the people.
In 1947-8 India and Pakistan fought their first war over Jammu and Kashmir.
Under United Nations' supervision, they agreed to a ceasefire along a line which left one-third of the state - comprising what Pakistan calls Azad Jammu and Kashmir, and the Northern Areas administered by Pakistan and two-thirds, Jammu, Ladakh and the Kashmir Valley, controlled by India.
In 1972, under the terms of the Simla agreement, the ceasefire line was renamed the Line of Control.
Although India claims that the entire state is part of India, it has been prepared to accept the Line of Control as the international border, with some possible modifications.
Both the US and the UK have also favoured turning the Line of Control into an internationally-recognised frontier.
But Pakistan has consistently refused to accept the Line of Control as the border since the predominantly Muslim Kashmir Valley would remain as part of India.
Formalising the status quo also does not take account of the aspirations of those Kashmiris who have been fighting since 1989 for independence for the whole or part of the state.
Water dispute
Another reason behind the dispute over Kashmir is water.
Many rivers start in Kashmir.
Some of them are tributaries of the Indus River basin, such as the Jhelum and Chenab River.
These flow into Pakistan and are used for irrigation there.
Other rivers like the Ravi, Beas River and the Sutlej flow into northern India.
One of the origins of the conflict is that with the Boundary Award of 1947, many of the Pakistani irrigation systems can be controlled from India.
Pakistan has been afraid that India could stop the flow of rivers that start in Indian-controlled Kashmir and flow into Pakistan.
This would harm the agrarian economy of Pakistan.
The Indus Waters Treaty signed in 1960 resolved most of these disputes over the sharing of water.
Republic of India controls the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
It is made of the Jammu region, the Kashmir valley, and Ladakh.
Pakistan refers to this as Indian occupied kashmir or Indian controlled kashmir, or Indian annexed kashmir and Indian held kashmir.
The territories known as Gilgit-Baltistan and Azad Jammu and Kashmir are administered by Pakistan.
Islamabad calls them Pakistan-administered Kashmir.
India refers to this as Pakistan-occupied Kashmir.
China also controls a territory it received from Pakistan, called Trans-Karakoram Tract.
The legality of this swap is disputed by India.
The Siachen Glacier is currently a disputed territory, India controls the glacier, Pakistan the valley below.
The Trans-Karakoram Tract is an area Pakistan gave to China in 1963, March 3rd.
India claims this area as part of its state Jammu and Kashmir.
Kashmir has been a flashpoint between India and Pakistan for more than 60 years.
Currently a boundary - the Line of Control - divides the region in two, with one part occupied by India and one militarily administrated by Pakistan.
India would like to formalise this status quo and make it the accepted international boundary.
But Pakistan and Kashmiri activists reject this plan because they both want greater control over the region.
As with other disputed territories, each government issues maps depicting their claims in Kashmir as part of their territory, regardless of actual control.
It is illegal in India to exclude all or part of Kashmir in a map.
It is also illegal in Pakistan not to include the state of Jammu and Kashmir.
Non-participants often use the Line of Control and the Line of Actual Control as the depicted boundaries, as is done in the CIA World Factbook, and the region is often marked out in hashmarks, although the Indian government strictly opposes such practices.
When Microsoft released a map in Windows 95 and MapPoint 2002, a controversy was raised because it did not show parts of Kashmir as part of India as per Indian claim.
However, all the neutral companies claim to follow the UN's map and over 90% of all maps containing the territory of Kashmir show it as disputed territory.

The Mikado, or The Town of Titipu is a two-act operetta.
The book and lyrics were written by W. S. Gilbert.
The music was written by Arthur Sullivan.
The operetta premiered 14 March 1885 at the Savoy Theatre, London, with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company.
The Mikado is the ninth of the fourteen Gilbert and Sullivan operettas.
It had 672 performances in its original run.
This was the longest original run of any Gilbert and Sullivan operetta.
At the time of the operetta's creation, London was overwhelmed with all things Japanese: tea shops, kimonos, fans, etc.
Gilbert reported that he got the idea for The Mikado when a Japanese sword fell from the wall of his study.

Roxanne is a female given name.
The name is based on the Greek name Roxane.
Roxane comes from the Persian word Roschana, which means "dawn of day".
The name was ranked 389 in the 1990 U.S. Census.
It fell out of the top 1000 girls names in the 21st century.
The name has been popular in Australia and Canada, however.
This name was used for a damaging hurricane in 1995.
It was also the title of a single from music group The Police in the 1980s.
The Ballet of the Nuns is the first ballet blanc and the first romantic ballet.
It is an episode in Act III of Giacomo Meyerbeer's grand opera, Robert le Diable.
It premiered in November 1831 at the Paris Opéra.
The choreography (now lost) was created by either Filippo Taglioni or Jean Coralli.
The short ballet tells of deceased nuns rising from their tombs in a ruined cloister to seduce the knight, Robert le Diable.
At the end of the ballet, the white-clad nuns return to their tombs.
The ballet was created because officials at the Paris Opéra wanted to demonstrate the building's newly installed gas lighting.
The lighting was capable of creating ghastly effects.
The Ballet of the Nuns starred Marie Taglioni as the Abbess Helena.
Although opening night was marred with a few mishaps, Taglioni made her indelible mark on the ballet world in the role.
She became known for her ethereal qualities and her moral purity, and is one of the most celebrated ballerinas in history.
The ballet opens with Bertram, Robert le Diable's father, entering the ruined cloister of Sainte-Rosalie.
He summons the ghosts of nuns who have violated their vows.
They rise from their graves.
He orders them to seduce his son Robert into accepting a deadly talisman.
The Abbess Helena orders the ghosts to waltz.
In spite of their sacred vows, the nuns waltz.
The dead nuns give themselves over to unholy thrills.
Robert enters.
The nuns hide, but return to prevent his escape.
Robert stands terrified before a saint's tomb.
The Abbess lures him towards the talisman in the saint's hand.
Robert seizes it.
The nuns continue their dance,fluttering like white moths.
Their graves open and they sink into the earth.
Stone slabs slide into place, covering the dead.
A choir of demons is heard.
Ballet of the 18th century was based on rational thought and classical art.
The French Revolution however ushered in a period that brought romantic ballet to the stage.
Trapdoors, gas lighting, and other elements that became associated with the romantic ballet had been used in the popular theaters on the Paris boulevards for some time.
Such elements would gain official sanction and prestige at the Paris Opéra in the middle decades of the 19th century.
A ballet on a Robert le Diable theme was danced in Paris before Her Highness Mlle de Longueville in 1652.
The Ballet of the Nuns however was something entirely new in concept to audiences on the ballet's opening night.
Henri Duponchel, managing director of the Paris Opéra, was in charge of visual effects at the Opéra.
He wanted to demonstrate the venue's recently installed gas lighting.
Its reflectors produced a stronger, more keenly directed light than ever before.
Working with him was Pierre Ciceri, chief scenery designer.
Ciceri was inspired by either the Saint-Trophime cloister in Arles or the cloister of Monfort-l'Amaury for the ballet's moonlit setting.
The theme of the ballet is passion and death, and love beyond the grave.
The scene is night rather than day, and Gothic Europe rather than the classical world of Greece and Rome.
After almost 100 years of rational thought, audiences were clamoring for the mysterious, the supernatural, the vague, and the doomed.
The story of the ballet is about a knight who slips into a cloister at midnight to steal a talisman from a dead saint's hand that will allow him to win a princess.
Hans Christian Andersen included the scene in one of his novels.
Andersen writes of the scene, "By the hundred they rise from the graveyard and drift into the cloister.
They seem not to touch the earth.
Like vaporous images, they glide past one another ... Suddenly their shrouds fall to the ground.
They stand in all their voluptuous nakedness, and there begins a bacchanal."
The nuns were not completely naked, but Andersen did capture the essence of the scene.
Opening night
Opening night was spoiled by a falling gaslight and a trapdoor that would not close properly.
A piece of scenery fell, narrowly missing Taglioni.
The curtain was brought down.
The ballerina assured everyone she was unharmed.
The curtain rose and the performance continued.
It ended in a triumph for Meyerbeer, the Taglionis, and Dr. Louis Véron, the Opéra's new manager.
Dr. Véron had recently been awarded the Paris Opéra as a private enterprise.
He had great faith in Taglioni.
He raised her salary to an unprecedented 30,000 francs a year.
Her father was named ballet master with a three year contract.
Véron's boldness was rewarded when Taglioni fulfilled her promise and became a great star.
The audience took prurient delight in the scandalous Nuns.
A reviewer for the Revue des Deux-Mondes wrote:A crowd of mute shades glides though the arches.
All these women cast off their nuns' costume, they shake off the cold powder of the grave; suddenly they throw themselves into the delights of their past life; they dance like bacchantes, they play like lords, they drink like sappers.
What a pleasure to see these light women.
Nuns was the first ballet blanc and the first romantic ballet.
The opera was performed 756 times between 1831 and 1893 at the Paris Opéra.
French Impressionist Edgar Degas painted the ballet scene several times between 1871 and 1876.
Under her contract, Taglioni was to appear in Nuns about a dozen times.
She left after six.
It is possible that the erotic implications of the nuns' ballet did not set well with her.
She may have been reluctant to appear in a ballet within an opera.
A foot injury and the accidents that marred the first performance may have given the ballerina pause for thought.
Bad press directed at her father may have caused Taglioni to withdraw.
Taglioni was replaced by Louise Fitzjames, who danced the role 232 times.
The Danish choreographer August Bournonville saw Fitzjames's performance as the Abbess in Paris in 1841.
He based his own choreography, which was used in Copenhagen between 1833 and 1863, on this.
His choreography has been fully preserved.
It represents the only record of the original.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow's future wife Fanny Appleton wrote, "The diabolical music and the dead rising from their tombs and the terrible darkness and the strange dance unite to form a stage effect almost unrivaled.
The famous witches' (nuns) dance in the freezing moonlight in the ruined abbey, was as impressive as expected ... They drop in like flakes of snow and are certainly very charming witches with their jaunty Parisian figures and most refined pirouettes."
Critic and dance historian Andre Levinson writes, "The academic dance had been an agreeable exercise to watch.
Now, [ballet] clarified matters of the soul.
Ballet was a divertissement (an entertainment, a distraction).
It became a mystery."
Kisselgoff writes, "... the preoccupation with the supernatural that characterized so much of 19th-century ballet could be traced to the success of the Ballet of the Nuns in Meyerbeer's first production at the Paris Opéra".
Dietrich Bonhoeffer (4 February 1906 in Breslau – 9 April 1945 in Flossenbürg concentration camp) was an important Lutheran pastor from Germany who was killed by the Nazis during World War II.
He is known partly for his belief that killing Adolf Hitler was a moral act.
In his early life he believed that all Jews should turn into Christians, but supported them anyway.
He disagreed with the general anti-semitism and so created a theological college.
He wrote a book called The Cost of Discipleship about following Christianity.
Two days after Hitler became Chancellor, Bonhoeffer made a radio speech against him.
Later, with Martin Niemöller and others, he started the anti-Nazi Confessing Church.
Eventually he became part of the attempt by Claus Schenk Graf von Stauffenberg to assassinate Hitler, but was arrested and executed, three weeks before Hitler killed himself.
He was hanged days before the liberation of the POW camp where he was imprisoned.

The Imperial State Crown is one of the Crown Jewels of the United Kingdom and symbolises the sovereignty of the monarch.
The crown has existed in several versions since the 15th century.
The modern version of the Imperial State Crown is of a design somewhat similar to that of St Edward's Crown, but shorter and encrusted with jewels: it includes a base of four crosses alternating with four fleurs-de-lis, above which are four half-arches surmounted by a cross.
Inside is a purple velvet cap with an ermine border.
The Imperial State Crown includes many precious gems, including 2,868 diamonds, 273 pearls, 17 sapphires, 11 emeralds, and 5 rubies.
The crown includes several famous jewels.
The cross at the top is set with a stone known as St. Edward's Sapphire, a sapphire taken from the ring (or possibly coronet) of Edward the Confessor.
The Black Prince's Ruby (actually a spinel) is set on the front cross pattée; the famous Cullinan II, or Lesser Star of Africa, is set on the front; and the back band contains the  Stuart Sapphire.
The crown also contains Queen Elizabeth’s Pearls.
James (Son Of Alphaeus') was one of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus.
Levi is also called son of Alphaeus in the Gospel of Mark 2:14 so tradition has them as brothers but the New Testament does not state this, unlike the sons of Zebedee, Saint James and John.
About the Crown Jewels of England, and those added since the Union of the Crowns in 1603
The collective term Crown Jewels denotes the regalia and vestments worn by the sovereign of the United Kingdom during the coronation ceremony and at other state functions.
The term refers to the following objects: the crowns, sceptres (with either the cross or the dove), orbs, swords, rings, spurs, the royal robe or pall, and several other objects connected with the ceremony.
The effect of the English civil war
After the death of James I, Charles I came to the throne.
His many conflicts with parliament, stemmed from his belief in the divine right of kings.
The many religious conflicts in his reign triggered the English Civil War.
After six years of war, Charles was defeated and executed by the parliamentarians.
Oliver Cromwell became the Lord Protector of England and, less than a week after the king's execution, the monarchy was abolished.
The newly created English Republic found itself in a desperate financial state after the war.
To raise funds the 'Act for the sale of the personal estate of the King,Queen and Prince' was put forward.
Trustees were appointed to value the jewels and sell them to the highest bidder.
The most valuable of these objects was the Tudor State Crown, valued at £1,100 (£1,740,000 as of 2011); it was set with 28 diamonds, 19 sapphires, 37 rubies and 168 pearls.
The present collection of Crown Jewels contains various crowns, some of which are used by every Sovereign, others being made personally for Sovereigns or for the Queen's Consort.
Typically the crown of a King has a slightly pointed arched top, while that of a Queen has a slightly bowed top.
St Edward's Crown was made in 1661.
Many British monarchs find it extremely heavy and difficult to wear.
The Imperial State Crown was made in 1937 for King George VI, and was similar to the diamond crown made in 1838 for Queen Victoria.
