After this battle for fifty years the Anglo-Saxons were stopped from conquering all of Britain.
According to Gildas
Ambrosius Aurelianus is one of the few people that Gildas (a sixth century historian who lived in South-west Britain and wrote "De Excidio Britanniae", which focused largely on the history of Christian Britain) identifies by name in his sermon De Excidio et Conquestu Britanniae, and the only one named from the 5th century.
Following the destructive assault of the Saxons, the survivors gather together under the leadership of Ambrosius, who is described as:
"... a gentleman who, perhaps alone of the Romans, had survived the shock of this notable storm.
Certainly his parents, who had worn the purple, were slain by it.
His descendants in our day have become greatly inferior to their grandfather's [avita] excellence."
We know from Gildas that he was of high birth, and had Roman ancestry; he was presumably a Romano-Briton, rather than a Roman from elsewhere in the empire, though it is impossible to be sure.
It also appears that Ambrosius was a Christian: Gildas says that he won his battles "with God's help".
According to Gildas, Ambrosius organised the survivors into an armed force and achieved the first military victory over the Saxon invaders.
However, this victory was not decisive: "Sometimes the Saxons and sometimes the citizens (meaning the Romano-British inhabitants) were victorious."

Fools Garden is a German musical group.
It was formed in 1991 under the name Fool's Garden.
They started in 1991 with the album Fool's Garden.
The offical first album which included the complete band was Once in a Blue Moon (1993).
Two years later, Fool's Garden released their third album Dish of the Day, which scored a hit on the music charts in Europe and Asia with "Lemon Tree".
The re-released track peaked at #26 in the UK Singles Chart in August 1996.
Go And Ask Peggy For The Principal Thing followed in 1997, along with three more albums in 2000, 2003 and 2005.
In 2003, three members left the band, and were replaced by Dirk Blümlein (bassist), Claus Müller (drummer) and Gabriel Holz (second guitarist, who then left the band in 2007).
The name of the band was changed to Fools Garden (without the apostrophe).
The band has released cover-versions of rock and roll songs during live performances (The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride" or The Who's "My Generation").
Fools Garden's interest in The Beatles's led them to put cover versions of songs "Cry Baby Cry" and "Martha My Dear" on their studio albums.
The band released a greatest hits compilation album in October 2009.
The album, High Times, contained fifteen songs.
They included a brand new song, "High Time", and some of the well-known hits re-recorded with the new band ("Lemon Tree", "Wild Days", "Suzy").
The latest album Who Is Jo King?
was released in October 2012.

In property law, a freehold (also called frank-tenement) is the ownership of real property.
This includes land and everything that naturally comes with it, such as buildings, trees and natural resources.
Freehold is different to a leasehold, in which the property is kept by the owner of the land after the lease has expired.
Ownership of a freehold estate is indefinite amount of time.
Freehold is used in the laws of many Commonwealth countries.
It comes from the United Kingdom.

James Edward Kelly (born February 14, 1960) is a former American football quarterback in the NFL for the Buffalo Bills and in the USFL for the Houston Gamblers.
While Kelly was drafted by the Bills in 1983, he did not want to play for them at first, instead joining the Gamblers in the USFL.
He was a star player for Houston until the USFL went out of business in 1986, after which he finally joined the Bills.
Kelly continued playing at a high level, helping the Bills become one of the NFL's best teams for some time.
From 1990 to 1993, the Bills appeared in four straight Super Bowls with Kelly at quarterback.
Though the Bills failed to win every time, they remain the only team in NFL history to make it to four or more Super Bowls as of 2019.
Long after retiring in 1997, Kelly is still considered the greatest quarterback in Buffalo Bills team history by many people, as he still holds many passing records for the team.
William Edward Burghardt "W. E. B." Du Bois ( ; February 23, 1868 – August 27, 1963) was an very respected American-Ghanaian sociologist, historian, civil rights activist, Pan-Africanist, author, and editor.
He was the leader of a group of African-American activists who wanted equal rights for blacks.
Du Bois and his supporters opposed the Atlanta Compromise by Booker T. Washington.
Du Bois was born on February 23, 1868 (approximately) in Great Barrington, Massachusetts.
He studied at Fisk University, Harvard University, and the University of Berlin.
Du Bois was married to Nina Gomer Du Bois from 1895 until her death in 1950.
Then he was married to Shirley Lola Graham from 1951 until his death in 1963.
Du Bois had two children with Gomer and one son with Graham.
In early 1963, the United States refused to renew his passport, so he decided to become a citizen of Ghana.
Du Bois did not renounce his U.S. citizenship  and moved from his home in New York City to Accra, Ghana.
Du Bois died on August 27, 1963 in his home in Accra from natural causes, aged 95.
Du Bois received a state funeral.
He was buried near his home in Accra.

The Texas City Disaster of 1947 was a major and very deadly incident.
It happened on Wednesday, April 16, 1947, and was one of the largest non-nuclear explosions to hit the United States.
The incident began as a late morning fire on the French vessel SS Grandcamp which had been docked next to Texas City and nearby Galveston.
But then, its almost twenty three hundred ton cargo of ammonium nitrate detonated,  creating several massive explosions that caused serious damage.
The incident killed 581 people.
The Grandcamp, a World War II Liberty ship that had been converted to a French merchant vessel, was taking on a load of ammonium nitrate fertilizer at a quay next to a complex of Monsanto chemical factories, offices and labs.
The ship's carpenter smelled smoke in the No.
4 hold around 8 a.m. on April 16 and found that a few bags of fertilizer were on fire.
He tried dousing it with a few buckets of water, then a fire extinguisher.
When he called for a hose, the ship's captain forbade it, fearful that water would destroy the $500 worth of cargo that was on fire.
The skipper ordered the hold closed and its fire-suppression valves opened to release steam.
Ordinarily a good idea, but not in this case.
Ammonium nitrate decomposes at around 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fire grew.
The captain ordered his crew to abandon ship.
Firefighters tried spraying the burning ship from the dock.
Spectators, including schoolchildren crowded the quayside to watch the action.
Bad idea, since the Grandcamp exploded at 9:12 a.m. The captain and 32 of the Grandcamp's crew died; 10 somehow survived.
More than 200 people were killed on the quay.
The blast was heard 160 miles away.
It shattered all the windows in Texas City and half of those in Galveston, 10 miles away.
Some debris reached an altitude of nearly 3 miles before falling back to earth.
Two airplanes circling overhead were blown apart by the heavy shrapnel.
A one-ton piece of the ship's propeller shaft landed 2½ miles away.
Other pieces sailed 5 miles.
The blast flattened 20 waterfront blocks and 12 blocks inland.
Flaming debris ignited oil, gas and chemical tanks at the sprawling Monsanto complex and three nearby oil companies.
People died everywhere, blown up by the blast, decapitated by flying metal, sliced by falling glass, burned by flaming metal and chemicals, crushed by falling buildings.
The litany of death was long and varied.
Thousands more suffered injuries.
Fire and rescue workers rushed in from nearby cities, and the Red Cross mobilized a massive national response, but these were the days before jet passenger and cargo planes.
Local authorities set up temporary morgues and pressed medical students into duty in overwhelmed emergency rooms.
The cargo ship Highflyer, which had been moored near the Grandcamp, caught fire the morning after the explosion.
When the fire seemed to be getting out of control, tugs were called to tow the ship out of the port, lest its own cargo of fertilizer explode, too.
Unfortunately, the force of the Grandcamp explosion had locked the Highflyer into a deadly embrace with another ship, the Wilson B. Keene, and the Highflyer wouldn't budge.
The tugs gave up.
The Highflyer blew up, also demolishing the Keene, and raining death and fire anew on Texas City.
The shockwave and new fires killed hundreds more.
The fires were not put out until April 18.
Bodies and parts of bodies were strewn all over town.
The state government ultimately listed 405 identified and 63 unidentified dead.
Another 100 or perhaps 200 were counted as missing.
Injuries may have reached 3,500.
That's 4,000 casualties in a town of 16,000.
More than 1,500 houses – a third of the town's housing – were destroyed.
Two thousand of the survivors were rendered homeless.
Property damage reached at least $600 million (almost $6 billion in today's money).
Today, the unknown dead rest in a special cemetery.
Monuments in Texas City include the propeller of the Highflyer and an anchor from the Grandcamp.
Disasters in the 1940s
Texas City is a city in Chambers and Galveston counties in southeastern Texas.
The 2010 Census showed over 45,000 people living there.
This city was officially incorporated in 1911.
Dead Reckoning (or DR) is a method of estimating a position.
It is an important part of navigation.
It uses the last known point (a fix), and speed and direction the vehicle or person has moved since it was at the fix, to make a good guess where the current position is.
It is used to track where a ship or airplane or sometimes where a vehicle on land is at.
Now, Global Positioning System (GPS) is used and dead reckoning is not as important.
But it is still used in areas where GPS is not available or for short periods of time if a GPS update is missed.
It is also good to know in case the GPS satellites are damaged by a solar flare, or equipment is lost or broken, so it is still taught to sailors and pilots.
Dead Reckoning is how the sailors mapped the world after Christopher Columbus came to the New World.
Using the stars, they could find their latitude (distance between the equator and the poles).
But before accurate clocks were created, they could not tell their longitude (how far east or west they were) unless they saw land that they knew.
So to cross the oceans they used dead reckoning.
This is also how Richard Byrd became the first person to fly to the North Pole in 1926.
He was able to fly for 16 hours and come back to the place he had left, with only ice fields beneath him.
Dead reckoning starts from a known point (the fix).
Then the speed of the vehicle needs to be known.
In old times, ships would throw a log over the side (tied to a rope) and count how long it took to pass this log (or to pull a rope with knots and count how many knots get pulled out in a certain amount of time).
This would give the speed of the ship.
Knowing the direction from a compass would give the direction.
From these two numbers an estimate (a good guess) could be made about the current location of the vehicle.
However, a wind pushes the vehicle to one side (called drift) so this needs to be measured as well.
Also there are currents in the water, even in the middle of the ocean.
Over time this could make errors as well, so charts were made to correct for currents.
Airplanes can measure their windspeed easily (how fast they are going through the air), but not how fast they are moving over the land (called ground speed).
A head wind, tail wind, or cross wind changes the ground speed.
If the altitude of the plane is known, then the ground speed can be found by timing how fast the plane goes past an object on the ground.
(The higher you are, the slower the ground seems to move).
A window on the floor of the airplane can be used to find the ground speed and the drift of the airplane.
A vehicle on ground can also use dead reckoning.
Usually they do not need to worry about drift from the wind, and there are no currents on land, so this reckoning is easier.
Brands, Inc., or Yum, are an American based corporation which licenses KFC, Pizza Hut and the Taco Bell restaurants.
Before 2011, they also owned the Long John Silver's franchise.
The company is based in Louisville, Kentucky.
It started on October 7, 1997 as the Tricon Global Restaurants, Inc., which in turn was an independent company and spinoff of PepsiCo.
Because of its previous relationship with PepsiCo, this company has a lifetime contract to Pepsi.
Iltur is the name of a remote Pitjantjatjara homeland in the Great Victoria Desert of South Australia.
It is also known as Ilturnga or Coffin Hill after the rocky outcrop where it is located.
It is located at the southern end of the Birksgate Range, and is one of the most southerly locations on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands.
It was visited by the Elder Scientific Exploring Expedition in 1981, led by the explorer David Lindsay.
Many of the families who had lived in this region historically were forced to leave the area due to nuclear weapons tests at Maralinga.
They were moved to Fregon in the north and to Yalata, very far to the south.
Not all of them left, however, and some still living around Iltur reported that they were affected by the fallout of the tests.
In 1976, the Department of Aboriginal Affairs offered AU$10,000 for the establishment of an outstation community at Iltur.
An outstation was built, but is not always occupied.

Honeypot ants, or repletes, are sterile worker ants which are used as food stores.
They develop swelled abdomens,  filled with food by other worker ants.
They are living storage containers.
There are five genera of honepot ants.
Ant species often have polymorphs: different forms of the same type.
The soldier ants which defend colonies are genetically the same as the normal workers.
The way they develop is different.
This is done by changes in food, or by pheromones.
Young honeypot ants are more or less force-fed until their gasters (=stomachs) are swelled up.
Then they act as living food storage vessels.
These food storage workers are called repletes.
These replete workers develop in the North American honeypot ant Myrmecocystus mexicanus.
Rissing found that usually the largest workers in the colony develop into repletes; and, if repletes are removed from the colony, other workers become repletes.
This shows the flexibility of this polymorphism.
Honey ants use their own bodies as living storage, but they have more function than just storing food.
Some store liquids, body fat, and water brought to them by worker ants.
They can later serve as a food source for their fellow ants when food is otherwise scarce.
When the liquid stored inside a honeypot ant is needed, the worker ants stroke the antennae of the honeypot ant, causing the honeypot ant to regurgitate the stored liquid.
Makiri is a place in the northwest of South Australia, where a rock hole and an Aboriginal outstation are located.
It is in the Great Victoria Desert, between Kaltjiti and Watarru.
It is an important sacred site for the  (honey ant) Dreaming, a women's law.
Much of the site was desecrated by a surveying team in 1969.
It was officially declared a Prohibited Area by the South Australian government in 1973, as an "important Aboriginal mythological and cultural site".
Makiri is located in a region of shrubland and sand dunes.
The outstation here was established in the early 1980s.
Since 1984, it has been governed and supported by the Irintata Homelands group from Kaltjiti.
There is one house with solar power.
Water is supplied from a rainwater tank and a bore.
It is often used as a research base by scientists, as the area supports several endangered species.

Spiders of the genus Hogna are large and powerful wolf spiders.<ref>Benjamin Julian Kaston, Spiders of Connecticut under the section on the "Genus Lycosa'''," p. 321ff.
The genus Lycosa has since been split into two additional genera, Hogna and Tigrosa.
All of the American members of Lycosa have been transferred to Hogna or Tigrosa.</ref> They belong to the Family called Lycosidae.
They will readily catch and eat crickets and other large insects.
They do not try to hurt humans unless they are getting hurt themselves.
Usually their colors are dull, mostly they are brown, dark brown, or black.
Hogna carolinensis is the largest spider in the United States and can have a body length (head to tail) of up to almost 1.5 inches or 35mm.
They scare people, but it is hard to get them even to try to bite.
Instead of showing their fangs, they will run away.
They can run very fast.
They are about 16 times larger than the smallest species of wolf spiders.
For instance, the smallest of the wolf spiders of the genus Trabeops are only 4 mm.
Hogna carolinensis often digs burrows to live in.
H. antelucana
H. baltimoriana
H. coloradensis
H. frondicola
H. lenta
In Europe there is a slightly smaller spider called Lycosa tarantula, a kind of wolf spider that people once believed could kill people.
It gets its name from the city of Taranto in Italy.
There are other wolf spiders that get a little larger than Hogna carolinensis, one of which is found in the Canary Islands, Allohogna singoriensis,'' which reaches a full 40mm.
Great Expectations is a novel by Charles Dickens.
It depicts the growth and personal development of an orphan named Philip Pirrip ("Pip").
The novel was first published in serial form in Dickens' weekly periodical All the Year Round, from 1 December 1860 to August 1861.
In October 1861, Chapman and Hall published the novel in three volumes.
It is set among the marshes of Kent and in London in the early to mid 19th century.
From the outset, the reader is "treated" by the terrifying encounter between Pip, the protagonist, and the escaped convict, Abel Magwitch.
Great Expectations is a graphic book, full of extreme imagery, poverty, prison ships, "the hulks," barriers and chains, and fights to the death.
It therefore combines intrigue and unexpected twists of autobiographical detail in different tones.
Regardless of its narrative technique, the novel reflects the events of the time, Dickens' concerns, and the relationship between society and man.
Dickens felt Great Expectations was his best work, calling it "a very fine idea," and was very sensitive to compliments from his friends: "Bulwer, who has been, as I think you know, extraordinarily taken by the book."
The cast includes the capricious Miss Havisham, the cold and beautiful Estella, the kind and generous blacksmith Joe, the dry and sycophantic Uncle Pumblechook, and the eloquent and wise  Herbert Pocket.
Throughout the narrative, typical Dickensian themes emerge: wealth and poverty, love and rejection, and the eventual triumph of good over evil.
Great Expectations has been translated into many languages and adapted many times to movies and other media.
A&W was the first successful franchise company: the franchises began in the 1920s in California.
The company's name was taken from the surnames of partners Roy W. Allen and Frank Wright.
Brands purchased the company in 2002.
In 2011 the company was sold back to a group of franchise owners.
Kevin Bazner returned as the CEO.
The menu of A&W includes hamburgers, french fries, hot dogs and other fast food style meals.
A&W has restaurants across the United States.
A&W exists in Canada, but it has been owned by a different company since 1972.
As of 2017 there were 634 restaurants in the United States and 328 international restaurants.
A&W is known for "frosty mugs".
This is when the mug is kept in the freezer.
It is removed, filled with A&W Root Beer, and then served to the customer.
A number of A&W's are drive-in restaurants with carhops.
Spiders in the genus Tigrosa were formerly included in the genus Hogna, and before that to the genus Lycosa.

Then they carry them along with them by attaching the egg sac to their spinnerets.
They may lay from 150 to 500 eggs at a time.
All mother wolf spiders let their babies ride on top of their abdomens for several days after they hatch.

Kaḻayapiṯi (also written Kaḻaya Piṯi and Kaḻaiapiṯi) is a rock hole in the Birksgate Range in northwestern South Australia.
It is an important location in the early history of the Pitjantjatjara people.
The name comes from the words  (emu) and  (referring to a place from which the ancestral being is believed to originate;  is a waterhole).
It is a major sacred site for the  (Emu Dreaming), and has been used for ceremonies by the Pitjantjatjara since long before colonisation of Australia.
Kaḻayapiṯi forms the southern heartland of the traditional Pitjantjatjara territory.
According to the anthropologist Norman Tindale, the Pitjantjatjara people originally migrated from the southern coast.
Kaḻayapiṯi served as their main home as they moved further north and northeast into the Tomkinson, Mann and Petermann Ranges.
The rock hole here was very important during droughts, as there were few sources of water so reliable and permanent in the Great Victoria Desert to the south.
However, during a long and severe drought between 1914 and 1916, the Pitjantjatjara were forced to move further east into the Musgrave Ranges, traditionally Yankunytjatjara territory.

Conflation is what happens when two or more individuals, concepts, or places seem to be a single identity.
Although they may share one or more characteristics, the differences somehow seem to be lost.
In logic, conflation is the practice of treating two distinct concepts as if they were one.
This produces errors or misunderstandings.
The fusion or merge of distinct subjects tends to obscure analysis of relationships which are emphasized by contrasts.
