The Anglo-Saxon Chronicle gave Cenred a pedigree going back to the Saxon god Woden.
But historian Kenneth Sisam
showed this legendary pedigree was borrowed from the Kings of Bernicia and was not historic.
But archaeological evidence shows that outside of Kent and Sussex, the main area of settlement was in the upper Thames Valley.
This agrees with much of the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle although dates are harder to verify.

In mathematics, the Euler characteristic of a shape is a number that describes a topological space, so that anything in the space will have the same number.
It is calculated by taking the number of points in the shape, the number of lines in the shape, and the number of faces of the shape.
One can find the Euler characteristic with this formula:
where V is the point count, E the line count, and F the face count.
For most common shapes (convex polyhedron), the Euler characteristic is 2.

It was opened in 1930.
The stadium can seat over 80,000 people.
The stadium opened in 1930.
It replaced the old stadium Cartier Field.
It cost more than US$750,000 to build.
The head coach of the Fighting Irish, Knute Rockne, played an important role in the design of the stadium.
The design was based on Michigan Stadium.
The stadium originally held 54,000 people.
It measured a half-mile (0.8 kilometres) in circumference and stood  high.
It was built by the Sollitt Construction Company of South Bend.
They began building in April 1930, and took six months to build.
The Irish played their first game in the new stadium on 4 October 1930.
They beat the SMU Mustangs 20–14.
The official dedication was on October 11 against Navy.
Over the years, the stadium's seating capacity was gradually increased to 59,075.
This was mainly done by making most of the seats smaller.
In 1997, 21,000 new seats were added to the stadium, bringing the seating capacity to the present 80,795.
Permanent lights were also installed.
The lights were paid for by NBC, which has held the exclusive television rights to all home games since 1991.

In 1997, fans protested the university's plans to add 20,000 seats to the stadium.
These seats would have blocked the view of Touchdown Jesus from the field.
The university then considered limiting seats in the end zone.
For aesthetic reasons however, developers went with a larger bowl all the way around.
As a result, the view of Touchdown Jesus was partially blocked.

Father of the Pride is an American animated television series.
The series is based on Siegfried & Roy's performances.
The show revolves around the adventures of a family of white lions, consisting of father Larry, the bumbling yet well-intentioned star of Siegfried & Roy's show; Kate, a pretty, stay-at-home mother who is a member of a special women's group; Sierra, their teenage daughter who is constantly annoyed by her family; Hunter, their awkward young son, who is a huge fan of Lord of the Rings; Sarmoti, Kate's father and Sierra and Hunter's grandfather who has an annoyance for Larry; and Snack, Larry's mischievous gopher friend.
The primary setting of Father of the Pride is Las Vegas, Nevada.
It took more than 200 animators 2 years to make Father of the Pride.
Computer animation was produced at Imagi Animation Studios in Hong Kong.
The series employed a small group of seasoned directors, which included Mark Risley, Bret Haaland, Steve Hickner, John Holmquist, John Stevenson, and Mark Baldo.
Felix Ip served as creative director for Imagi.
For the first season, DreamWorks created 30 principal sets, 500 special props, and about 100 characters.
In fact, a typical episode unfolds across all 30 principal sets and features two or three unique locations as well.
The lion habitat is inspired by the real Secret Garden in Las Vegas, where the actual Siegfried & Roy lions reside.
In Father of the Pride, the Secret Garden encompasses residences for the main characters and their families and public areas ranging from the community bar to a school classroom.
Since Larry and his family drive the story lines for most of the episodes, their residence is the most detailed, comprising separate, contiguous sets for the living room, the kitchen, and the children's bedrooms.
Meanwhile, the assets are stored in individual files in order to be loaded into separate layers and assembled modularly.

Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, which is situated on Bukit Timah Hill, is the largest of the remaining patches of primary forest in Singapore.
Singapore’s original tropical primary rainforest ecosystem makes up half of the reserve.
At the summit of the hill, there is a rock showing the height, latitude and longtitude.
BTNR is located just beside the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, separated by the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE).
BTNR is the only remaining primary forest in Singapore.
It covers a total area of 163 hectares and occupies just 0.2% of Singapore's land.
Accessibility from other nature areas/forests
BTNR is easily accessible from Dairy Farm Nature Park, as well as the MacRitchie Reservoir in the neighbouring Central Catchment Nature Reserve.
Dairy Farm Nature Reserve is connected to the Yellow Trail via the Dairy Farm Loop, while the MacRitchie Reservoir is connected to BTNR by the Kampong Trail.
In 1825, one of Singapore's first colonial administrators, John Crawfurd, climbed the hill.
He said that the surrounding forest was so dense that sailing to Calcutta was almost as easy as reaching Bukit Timah.
In 1843, the access road to the summit was built.
40 years later, BTNR became the first forest reserve in Singapore to be conserved.
The reserve has been protected by law since 1939, when the reserve was threatened by nearby granite quarrying at Hindhede Quarry.
Till the late 1980s, BTNR was still part of the CCNR.
Then, the government decided to build the BKE through the CCNR, thus splitting the CCNR and forming the BTNR.
In 1991, the newly formed NParks, which manage Singapore's parks, nature reserves, and roadside trees, conducted a visitor survey.
After gathering all the feedback, they began to develop facilities to improve visitors' experience at the reserve.
and at the same time, reduce the damage that visitors might cause to the reserve.
Over time, trails started to penetrate parts of the forest which were richer in biodiversity, causing plant and animal numbers to decrease.
The ground surface was also damaged and soil erosion occurred.
As a result, those trails were closed, and the main trails were upgraded.
Eco Link
During the 2 decades that followed the separation of BTNR from CCNR, nature lovers complained about the separation of biodiversity in the BTNR and CCNR.
They said that animals from each nature reserve could not cross over to the other reserve, and wanted a link to connect the two reserves, so as to allow animals to move about from one reserve to the other.
In 2005, some nature lovers and government authorities agreed to build a bridge to link the two reserves.
Work to build the Eco Link began on 30 July 2011 and was completed in the 3rd quarter of 2013.
Trees to create a natural environment were planted on the bridge after it was completed.
Being home to more than 840 flowering plants and 500 species of animals, it contains 40% of Singapore's flora and fauna.
A common tree there is the Seraya (Shorea curtisii), which dominates the forest canopy of BTNR.
Rare plants such as the Mock Durian (Neesia synandra) can also be found there.
The Mock Durian, as its name mentions, produces fruit that look like durians, but they are inedible.
Forest Praying Mantis and the Singapore Freshwater Crab are some of the rare animals found there.
Pangolins, Horsfield's Flying Squirrel, Plaintain Squirrel, Malayan Colugo, also known as the Malayan Flying Lemur, as well as the Giant Forest Ant all live at BTNR.
There are also many Long-tailed Macaques, which is the most common monkey in Singapore.
Other than that, BTNR also has rich bird and insect life.
Cicadas can be heard everywhere.
Many species of birds and butterflies can also be spotted there.
However, the birds, like the cicada, are more often heard than seen.
Some of the birds spotted there are the Greater Racket-tailed Drongo, Asian Fairy Bluebird, Red-crowned Barbet and Emerald Dove.
In March 2011, a Dot-Dash Sergeant (Athyma kanwa), which is a rare butterfly in Singapore, was spotted along the Red Trail.
Some of the other butterflies spotted there include the Common Faun (Faunis canens), Common Caerulean (Jamides celeno) etc.
One species of monkey, the crab-eating macaque is common in the park.
BTNR consists of 4 trails, namely the Red Trail, Blue Trail, Green Trail and Yellow Trail.
The starting point of all the trails is the same, and at 40m above sea level.
There are poles lining the various trails, with the colours of the trail(s) pasted on them.
Red Trail
The Red Trail is the main trail that brings people from the foot of the hill to the summit.
To get to the rest of the trails, one has to walk up a part of the Red Trail first.
The Green and Yellow Trails are basically detours into the forest, as they will still lead back to the Red Trail when reaching the summit.
The 1.2km-long Red Trail, which is made of tarmac, is the one of the two easiest trails to climb.
A trip up to the summit takes about 30 minutes while a return trip takes about 25 minutes.
Blue Trail
The Blue Trail is the shortest of all trails, and is the second of two easiest trails to climb.
The 0.7km-long Blue Trail starts off on the Red Trail itself, before breaking away halfway to lead to the Hindhede Quarry, at a height of 140m. An ascending trip takes about 20 minutes while a trip back to the foot of the hill takes about 18 minutes.
Green Trail
The Green Trail is 1.1km long.
An ascend takes 30 minutes while a descend takes 25 minutes.
Yellow Trail
The Yellow Trail is the toughest of all trails.
It surrounds the Jungle Fall Valley.
Hikers start by walking up the Red Trail, then walking into the forest.
The Yellow Trail cuts into the Jungle Fall Path in the dense forest near the summit, at a height of 150m, and hikers have to descend and ascend many steps along the way.
Generally, the trail descends sharply until reaching the Singapore Quarry, before ascending sharply again.
When it reaches the Singapore Quarry, it is only 100-110m above sea level.
After that, the trail ascends until it joins back the Red Trail.
By then, it is almost reaching the summit already.
The trail is 1.8km long, and a summit-bound hike takes about 1 hour 10 minutes to 2 hours, while a return trip takes at least 55 minutes or more.
Other than the 4 main trails, there are also other trails that are not part of the main trails.
There are a few of this "paths".
BTNR is a popular place for many Singaporeans.
Everyday, many people go there to jog, hike, or for a stroll.
There is also a 6km long Mountain Biking Trail for mountain bikers to cycle.
The mountain biking trail goes around the reserve, going along the green corridor where the old KTM trains used to pass by, then passing by the Singapore Quarry, followed by Dairy Farm Nature Park and the Bukit Timah Expressway (BKE), then near Rifle Range Road before back to the carpark where the trail starts.
ASEAN Heritage Park status
BTNR is the second ASEAN Heritage Park in Singapore, after Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve.
BTNR was granted this status on 18 October 2011.
Visitor numbers
By the 1990s, Singaporeans had started to get interested in nature.
Visitor numbers have rose sharply since then, with 88,000 visitors in 1990, and 400,000 just 8 years later.

He served as a Republican in both the United States House of Representatives and the U.S. Senate.
Grams first began as a TV News anchor, but quit his job in order to run for the senate.

The king Oswiu of Northumbria and his son Eahlfrith each backed a different church position.
Why Agilbert came to Northumbria at this time or who sent him is not recorded.
But kings Osiwu and Cenwalh were friends.
They both supported the Roman position that Easter should be celebrated the same throughout the Christian world.
A synod was called at Whitby to settle the issue.
Bishop Agilbert was the senior ecclesiastic there who supported the Roman position.
As he did not speak the language well, he asked Wilfrid to speak for him.
Their argument was why did only the remote parts of Britain celebrate Easter differently than the remainder of the Christian world?
Osiwu made a decision to celebrate Easter with the rest of the Christian churches.
Agilbert wandered in Gaul (later France) for a time before accepting the position of Bishop of Paris.
He held that position from  for about 12 years.
He consecrated Wilfrid as a bishop at Compiègne along with several others.
Later Bishop Wine was expelled from Wessex by Cenwalh.
Agilbert died sometime after 679.
He was buried at the monastery of Jouarre.

Oresko was born on January 18, 1917, in Bayonne, New Jersey.
He had Ukranian family.
Oresko later joined the Army from that city in March 1942.
Following the death of Barney F. Hajiro in January 2011, Oresko became the oldest living Medal of Honor recipient.
Oresko lived in Cresskill, New Jersey.
Bayonne School #14 was renamed in his honor in July 2010.
Oresko died while undergoing surgery for a broken femur on October 4, 2013 in Englewood, New Jersey.
Siegfried Tyron Fischbacher (June 13, 1939 – January 13, 2021) and Roy Horn (Uwe Ludwig Horn; October 3, 1944 – May 8, 2020) were German-American magicians and entertainers, best known for their acts with white lions and white tigers in Las Vegas, Nevada.
They were born and raised in Germany, then moved to the United States and became U.S. citizens.
From August 2004 to May 2005, Fischbacher and Horn were executive producers of Father of the Pride.
Fischbacher and Horn were born and raised in Germany.
They emigrated to the United States and became naturalized citizens.
Siegfried was born Siegfried Tyron Fischbacher in Rosenheim on June 13, 1939, to Martin and Maria Fischbacher.
His mother was a housewife, and his father was a professional painter who during World War II ended up as a prisoner of war in the Soviet Union.
Fischbacher purchased a magic book as a child and began to practice illusions.
He moved to Italy in 1956 and started work at a hotel.
Eventually, Fischbacher found work performing magic on the ship TS Bremen under the stage name Delmare.
While performing aboard the ship he met Horn and asked him to assist him during a show.
Fischbacher and Horn were fired from the TS Bremen for bringing a live cheetah onto the ship, but were scouted by a cruise line based in New York and began performing together as a duo.
Roy was born Uwe Ludwig Horn on October 3, 1944, in Nordenham, in the midst of bomb attacks, to Johanna Horn.
His father died in World War II, and his mother married a construction worker after the war ended.
She later began work in a factory.
Horn had three brothers: Manfred, Alfred, and Werner.
Horn became interested in animals at a very young age and cared for his childhood dog named Hexe (witch).
Horn's mother's friend's husband Emil was the founder of the Bremen Zoo, which gave Horn access to exotic animals from the age of 10.
Horn left school at age 13.
He worked as a waiter on the cruise ship Bremen, where he met Fischbacher and launched his performance career.
The owner of the Astoria Theatre in Bremen saw Fischbacher and Horn's act aboard a Caribbean cruise ship and recruited the duo to perform at her nightclub.
This launched a career for the pair on the European nightclub circuit, and they began to perform with tigers.
They were discovered performing in Paris by Tony Azzie, who asked them to come to Las Vegas in 1967.
They spent some time in Puerto Rico and may have purchased property there.
In 1981, Ken Feld of Irvin & Kenneth Feld Productions started the Beyond Belief show with them at the New Frontier Hotel and Casino.
A revamped version of the show was taken on a world tour in the third quarter of 1988.
2003 tiger attack
During a show at the Mirage on Horn's birthday on October 3, 2003, a 7-year-old white tiger named Montecore attacked Horn.
As part of the act, but veering off script, Horn held his microphone to Montecore's mouth and told him to say "hello" to the audience.
Montecore responded by biting Horn's sleeve.
Horn swatted the tiger and barked "release!".
Suffering from dizziness, Horn tripped and fell onto his back, and Montecore moved to stand over him.
As standby trainers rushed in from offstage to assist, Montecore bit into Horn's neck and dragged him offstage.
Trainers got the tiger to release Horn by spraying him with CO2 fire extinguisher canisters, the last resort available.
The attack severed Horn's spine, drained his blood, and severely injured other parts of his body, permanently impairing his motor and verbal abilities.
He also had a stroke either before or after Montecore dragged him offstage.
While being taken to the hospital, Horn stated, "Montecore is a great cat.
Make sure no harm comes to Montecore."
He told People Magazine in September 2004 that Montecore saved his life by trying to drag him to safety after he had a stroke.
The incident prompted the Mirage to close the show, which had 267 cast and crew members.
Trainer Chris Lawrence later refuted Fischbacher and Horn's explanations for why the tiger attacked Horn, alleging it was due to Horn's mishandling of Montecore.
The duo dismissed Lawrence's claims, stating he "had problems with his life anyway."
Lawrence later said he believed that the duo and the Mirage covered up the real reason for the attack in order to protect their image.
In August 2004, their act became the basis for Father of the Pride.
Right before its release, the series was almost cancelled until Fischbacher and Horn urged NBC to continue production after Horn's condition improved after the attack by Montecore in October 2003.
By March 2006, Horn was talking and walking, with assistance from Fischbacher, and appeared on Pat O'Brien's television news program The Insider to discuss his daily rehabilitation.
In February 2009, the duo staged a final appearance with Montecore as a benefit for the Lou Ruvo Brain Institute (though Chris Lawrence had stated this performance involved a different tiger).
Their performance was recorded for broadcast on ABC television's 20/20 program.
On April 23, 2010, Fischbacher and Horn retired from show business. "
The last time we closed, we didn't have a lot of warning", said longtime manager Bernie Yuman. "
This is the dot at the end of the sentence."
On March 19, 2014, Montecore died after a brief illness.
In June 2016, director Philipp Stölzl announced that Fischbacher and Horn would produce a biopic film documenting their lives.
Following Horn's death in 2020, this most likely will not happen.
Horn's illness and death
On April 28, 2020, Horn's publicist stated he "tested positive for the virus that causes COVID-19 and is currently responding well to treatment".
However, his condition deteriorated and he died at the age of 75 on May 8, 2020 at Mountain View Hospital in Las Vegas.
The duo's spokesman, Dave Kirvin, announced Horn's death and said it was due to complications from the disease.
Fischbacher stated that "the world has lost one of the greats of magic, but I have lost my best friend".
Fischbacher's death
On January 12, 2021, Fischbacher announced he had terminal pancreatic cancer.
He died the next day in Las Vegas from the disease at the age of 81.

Major roads in New South Wales are organised into many routes.
These help drivers to navigate their way between places in the state.
Each route is given its own route number.
The number consists of a letter (M, A or B) and a one- or two-digit number. '
M' routes are motorways, 'A' routes are national routes, and 'B' routes are state routes.
The route system includes highways, motorways, and other important roads that have not been declared highways.
Route numbers have been allocated to roads in New South Wales since 1955.
To supplement the national route number system, three ring roads were built in Sydney in 1964.
These were numbered 1, 3 and 5.
In 1973, a system of numbering freeways was introduced to New South Wales to complement the national routes and ring roads.
In 1974, the National Highway network was defined, which in New South Wales included the Hume Highway, Federal Highway, Barton Highway, Sydney-Newcastle Freeway (now Pacific Motorway) and New England Highway.
In 1993, Sydney's Metroad system was introduced.
In 2013, the state replaced its entire system of State Routes, National Routes, National Highways and Metroads with a new route numbering system of letters and numbers.
The roads no longer uses National Highway shields on any route.
This new system of routes are the routes that are listed below.
Motorways (M routes)
Routes of national significance (A routes)
Routes of state significance (B routes)
Fragile X syndrome (FXS) is a genetic syndrome that causes a range of intellectual disabilities as well as unusual physical and behavioural characteristics.
It is one of the most common causes of autism and mental retardation among boys.
Basically, these individuals lack an important gene product.
Technical account
Fragile X syndrome occurs as a result of a mutation of the FMR1 gene on the X chromosome.
This causes an increase an increase in the number of CGG repeats in the 5' untranslated region of FMR1.
In unaffected individuals, the FMR1 gene contains 5–44 repeats of the CGG codon, most commonly 29 or 30 repeats.
Between 45 and 54 repeats is considered a "grey zone".
Between 55 and 200 repeats in length is described as a premutation allele.
Individuals with fragile X syndrome have a full mutation of the FMR1 allele, with over 200 repeats of the CGG codon.
In these individuals with a repeat expansion greater than 200, there is methylation of the CGG repeat expansion and FMR1 promoter.
This silences the FMR1 gene, and its end-product is not made.

Consumer protection means protecting the rights of consumers.
It also helps to protect fair trade competition and truthful information in a market economy.
Various laws and organisations are designed to do this.
The laws are designed to stop companies using unfair practices to gain an advantage over their competitors.
Examples of such practices are fraud and "false advertising", where a company advertises their product with false information.
A lubricant is a substance used to reduce friction between moving surfaces.
The property of reducing friction is known as lubricity (slipperiness).
Does not get affected by temperature or pressure at all
Does not burn easily, and may also prevent rusting
High viscosity (feels like a very thick liquid)
Does not mix with water
Sometimes, chemicals are added to normal oil to give it special properties.
A lubricant, like motor oil, can also help in reducing heat.
Simply put, cooling depends on surface area in contact.
So, if something normally has a small surface area, you can put that thing into a bigger pot, and put oil in the pot.
This way, oil comes in contact with small surface area of the small object, and transfers that heat to the big surface area of the big vessel.
As a rule, liquids can transfer heat better than gases.
In manufacturing, sometimes oil is used to cool the item being made.
This also helps in removing metal that was just chipped off.
This chipped-off metal normally flows with the oil until it is filtered.
Then the oil is reused.
The filtered metal chips are normally scrapped.
Sometimes, lubricants are used for hydraulic machines.
A hydraulic machine uses the fact that the hydraulic oil cannot be compressed, and performs a simple conversion – it works like a lever.
Solid: graphite (used in lead pencil),
Semi-solid: grease
Liquid: Oil of various grades and types
Depart From Me is the third studio album by American rapper Cage.

They are first mentioned in written records in AD 297, before the Roman conquest of Britain.
The name 'pict' is from the Latin pictus meaning 'painted.'
This may have been due to the tattoos on their bodies.
It may also refer to a name they called themselves, that was recorded by the Romans.
They spoke a Pictish language.
It was related to the Brythonic languages spoken by the Britons living to the south.
Picts were possibly the descendants of the Caledonians and other tribes that were mentioned by Roman historians.
The area of Scotland called Pictland gradually merged with the Gaelic kingdom of Dál Riata.
This formed the kingdom of Alba, later known as Scotland.
Alba then expanded, absorbing the British kingdom of Strathclyde and Bernician Lothian.
By the 11th century the Pictish identity had become a part of the Scottish people.
