He paid the bishop in gold and a great many hides of land to convince her but Etheldreda would not change her mind.
The marriage was dissolved before the end of 672.
Ethelreda was allowed to become a nun.
She retired to Coldingham Priory and a year later she became the abbess of Ely, which she had built herself.
Ecgfrith married as his second wife Eormenburg.
She and Bishop Wilfrid became bitter enemies.
In 672 the Picts revolted and threw out the king that the Northumbrians had placed on the throne there.
Ecgfrith sent his army into Pictland (Scotland) to punish them.
He defeated the Picts and appointed his ealdorman Beornheth to rule over them.
In 674 Wulfhere of Mercia and his allies attacked Northumbria.
Wulfhere was trying to reclaim Lindsey.
But Ecgfrith defeated Wulfhere and made him pay tribute.
Wulfhere was succeeded as king of Mercia by his brother Aethelred in 675.
Ecgfrith arranged for his sister Osthryth to marry Aethelred.
But in 679 Aethelred defeated Ecgfrith in battle at the River Trent.
Ecgfrith next turned his attention to the Britons of Rheged.
He drove them out of northern England and into Ireland.
There they became mercenaries for the Irish kings and also began raiding the English coast.
In 684 Ecgfrith led his armies against the kingdom of Brega, north of present day Dublin in Ireland.
He won a victory and returned to Northumbria.
At this point he may have become too confident.
In 685 Ecgfrith again attacked the Picts but this time he was defeated and killed.
On 20 May 685 his forces were drawn into an ambush at Nechtansmere near Forfar in Scotland.
Ecgfrith and his second wife Eormenburg had no children.
Ecgfrith was succeeded by his half-brother Aldfrith.
Queen Eormenburg retired to Carlisle abby.
Ecgfrith and the Church
In 674 Ecgfrith had given Benedict Biscop, a Northumbrian nobleman, fifty hides of land at the mouth of the River Wear.
This was to build the first of two great monasteries.
The two monasteries were administered as a single community and came to be called Monkwearmouth-Jarrow Abbeys.
They became a center of learning and were where Bede wrote most of his works.
Ecgfrith was at the dedication of Jarrow abbey in 685 about a month before his death.
From 669 Bishop Wilfrid was directly involved in every gift of land and money to the Church by the Northumbrian king and queens.
He became very powerful and rich in the process.
In 671 he began building a great church which was financed by plunder and confiscated British church lands.
But after Queen Etheldreda retired to her abbey he lost most of his rich patronage.
The new queen, Eormenburg, had no love of Wilfrid.
Stephen of Ripon, the author of the eighth-century Vita Sancti Wilfrithi ("Life of Saint Wilfrid") accused her of being jealous and not having the proper respect for the bishop.
In 678 King Ecgfrith drove Bishop Wilfrid out of Northumbria.
Bede gave no explanation for why Wilfrid was expelled, but made it clear his sympathies lay with the Bishop.

Hanji (Korean paper) is the Korean traditional paper.
Hanji literally means “paper of Korea”. "
Han" stands for "Korea," and "ji" means "paper."
Hanji’s history goes back to 4th century.
Koreans started making it after papermaking technique came to Korea from China with Buddhism.
After since, Korean paper came to be known as the highest quality paper available in East Asia.
During Goryeo period, hanji flourished with the development of printing technique in Korea.
Its best days continued throughout Joseon Dynasty.
However, it didn’t last forever.
Western’s mass production of paper and Japanese’s oppression on Korean traditional cultures ended golden ages of hanji.
Nowadays, Korean paper is considered as a tradition worth preserving and spreading.
More people are interested in arts and crafts of hanji, and there it has become the part of the tourism for foreigners, too.
Hanji is made out of inner bark of mulberry, a tree native to Korea.
The inner bark of the mulberry is so strong and durable that it does not decay in water up to a year.
Korean paper’s durability comes from this tree.
The life span of Korean paper is 1,000 years.
For example, Mugujeonggwang Daedaranigyeong, the world's oldest woodblock print was created in 751.
Also, thanks to its durability, Koreans even used it as body armor in war.
1 year old trees are used to make the high-quality hanji, and older trees are used for cheaper modern papers.
There are several kinds of mulberry trees in Korea.
They grow in different climate conditions.
Each kind of mulberry tree produces different kinds of hanji, and they are all used in a different way.
There are various kinds of Korean paper, and they are named after their usage.
Changhoji, for instance, is a kind of Korean paper.
Changhoji means window paper.
Koreans used to glue changhoji on a door because it allows both air and light through it, thanks to its wide fiber.
There are other kinds of hanji as well.
When Korean paper is used as a copy paper, it is called bogsaji.
It is used as paper for family registry book or Buddhist scriptures.
When the Four Gracious Plants (plum, orchid, chrysanthemum and bamboo) or birds are drawn on hanji, it's called hwasunji, the drawing paper.
Nowadays, Korean paper is used for arts and crafts.

Honcheonsigye, National Treasure of Korea No.
Honcheonsigye is a celestial globe clock created by Song I-yeong in 1669.
The clock has an armillary sphere with a diameter of 40 cm.
Unlike Chinese astronomical clock, it could measure the accurate time by observing the whole movement of universe.

Donggwoldo literally means "Painting of Eastern Palace."
The painting depicts the Eastern Palaces, Changdeokgung and Changgyeonggung in 19th century.
Donggwol is an alternative name of Changdeokgung, which means it is located to the East of the main royal palace of the Joseon dynasty,Gyeongbokgung.
The palaces in this painting were depicted elaborately in details so its value as the reference of Joseon Dynasty's palace arrangement is great.
Buncheong ware, National Treasure of Korea No.
Buncheong ware or  Punch'ong ware, is a type of celadon in grayish blue color.
It is a style of Korea's traditional stoneware, which emerged in the middle era of Joseon Dynasty.

Many of the Acadians who settled in what is now Nova Scotia beginning in 1604 and later to New Brunswick, came from the region of Poitou.
After the Acadians were deported by the British beginning in 1755, a number of Acadians eventually took refuge in Poitou and in Québec.
A large portion of these refugees also migrated to Louisiana in 1785 and following years became known as Cajuns.

Kristubhagavatam is a mahakavya (an epic poem) written in Sanskrit.
It is based on the life of Jesus Christ.
It was written by Mahakavi P. C. Devassia.
Devassia was a Sanskrit scholar from Kerala, India.
His father was Plato was a curator of the Palatine Hill.
This makes him the first pope to be the son of a Byzantine official.
He had bad relations with the Quinisext council of 692 but had good relations with the Lombards, who had ruled much of Italy at the time.
Liber Pontificalis criticized Pope John VII for not signing Canons which were really unpopular in Italy at the time.
"He [Emperor Justinian II] despatched two metropolitan bishops, also sending with them a mandate in which he requested and urged the pontiff [John VII] to gather a council of the apostolic church, and to confirm such of them as he approved, and quash and reject those which were adverse.
But he, terrified in his human weakness, sent them back to the prince by the same metropolitans without any emendations at all."
He died on 18 October 707 and was buried in Chapel of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
He was succeeded by Pope Sisinnius.

The World Trade Center site refers to the  area of land in Lower Manhattan in New York City, that hosted both the original and new World Trade Centers.
The land was originally underwater.
The first World Trade Center complex of buildings stood on the site until it was destroyed in the September 11 attacks.
The new World Trade Center complex is mostly complete and is built on the site.
The Port Authority of New York and New Jersey owns most of the land.
The site is overseen by Studio Daniel Libeskind, Silverstein Properties, and the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation.
On the morning of September 11, 2001, two airplanes were captured by terrorists close to al-Qaeda and crashed into the Twin Towers of the World Trade Center.
The towers fell within two hours after the crashes.
Nearly 3,000 people died in the attacks.
After the attacks, hospital workers and police offers began calling the site "Ground Zero".
Debris and clean-up
When the towers fell, they caused dust to spread in New York City, and left hundreds of thousands of tons of debris at the site.
The New York City Fire Department separated the site into four areas to make cleanup of the site and the search for people who survived the attack easier.
Early on, it was said that the debris at the site would take a year to get rid of, but cleanup ended in May 2002.
Building materials and debris from Ground Zero were sent to the Fresh Kills Landfill in Staten Island.
On March 11, 2002, six months after the attacks, the Tribute in Light, a memorial with two beams of light shooting straight up into the sky, began.
It was lit up every day at dusk until April 14, 2002.
After that, it was lit up for the second anniversary of the attacks, on September 11, 2003.
It has been lit up every September 11 since then.
One World Trade Center - Construction began in April 2006.
It opened on November 3, 2014.
2 World Trade Center - Construction began in July 2008.
3 World Trade Center - Construction began in March 2008.
It was opened on June 11, 2018.
4 World Trade Center - Construction began in 2008.
It opened on November 13, 2013.
5 World Trade Center - Construction to begin in 2023.
Planned to open in 2028.
7 World Trade Center - Opened on May 23, 2006.
Soon after the September 11 attacks, Mayor Rudy Giuliani, Governor George Pataki, and President George W. Bush said that they would rebuild the World Trade Center.
On the day of the attacks, Giuliani said, "We will rebuild.
During a visit to the site on September 14, 2001, Bush spoke to a crowd of workers through a megaphone.
A person in the crowd shouted, "I can't hear you," to which Bush replied, "I can hear you.
The rest of the world hears you.
And the people who knocked these buildings down will hear all of us soon."
In an address to Congress, the president said, "As a symbol of America's resolve, my administration will work with Congress, and these two leaders, to show the world that we will rebuild New York City."
However, 20 years after the attacks, only four buildings, One World Trade Center, 3 World Trade Center, 4 World Trade Center and 7 World Trade Center, have been rebuilt.
One building, One World Trade Center, is currently under construction.
In November 2001, Governor Pataki started the Lower Manhattan Development Corporation (LMDC) to oversee the rebuilding of the World Trade Center.
The LMDC leads federal help in the rebuilding, and works with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, Larry Silverstein, and Studio Daniel Libeskind.
It also communicates with the local community, businesses, the city of New York, and the families of the people who were killed in the September 11 attacks.
A memorial, "Reflecting Absence", honors the people killed in the September 11 attacks and the 1993 World Trade Center bombing.
It was designed by Peter Walker and Israeli-American architect Michael Arad.
It has a field of trees with the footprints of the original towers.
The footprints are filled with pools of water.
It opened on the tenth anniversary of the attacks, on September 11, 2011.
On October 12, 2004, the LMDC announced that Gehry Partners LLP and Snøhetta, an architectural company from Norway, would design a performing arts center and museum at the site.
It is a museum and a visitors' center for the site.
The museum opened in 2014.
An episode of CBS's 60 Minutes in 2010 was about the lack of work done at Ground Zero.
It focused on how most of the buildings did not have a date for completion, the main building, One World Trade Center (originally called the Freedom Tower), having gone through three different designs, and the delays and high amount of money that went into the rebuilding.
Larry Silverstein said that the entire site would be completed in 2037, and that billions of dollars have been spent on rebuilding the site, even though Ground Zero "is still a hole in the ground."
During an interview for the episode, Silverstein said, "I am the most frustrated person in the world...I'm seventy-eight years of age; I want to see this thing done in my lifetime."
However, it was said in early 2011 that a lot of work has been done on the site, with all five buildings under construction.
All of the buildings will be completed between 2012 and 2016.
Criticism of the work being done at Ground Zero was made in 2008 and 2009, when there was no work being done at the site.

The River Humber is a large deep water estuary on the east coast of Northern England.
It is formed by the River Ouse and the River Trent coming together.
From here to the North Sea (about 40 miles) it forms part of the border between the East Riding of Yorkshire on the north side and Lincolnshire on the south side.
The Humber's only modern crossing is the Humber Bridge.
At one time it the longest single-span suspension bridge in the world.
Now it is the fifth longest.
Before the bridge was built in 1981, paddle steamers were used to cross the mile long span.
In the middle ages the tides of the Humber kept armies from crossing.
At that time it was thought to be an arm of the ocean.
During the Anglo-Saxon period, the Humber was a major boundary, separating Northumbria from the southern kingdoms.
The name Northumbria came from Old English Northanhymbre meaning "the people north of the Humber".
The Vikings used the Humber and its two tributaries, the Ouse and Trent, with their shallow-draft Longships to raid all over northeastern England.
Fortresses
Fort Paull was a Napoleonic era fort built in 1542 to protect the port there.
The site dates back to 910 when it was a lookout for Viking raiders.
The current fort is designed as a pentagon and was built from 1861–1864.
It was disarmed at the beginning of the First World War and replaced by two nearby forts.
One was on Sunk Island; the other was at Stallingborough.
In 1960 the fort was finally closed down.
But in 1964 a group of volunteers took over the fort and made it into a Museum.

Obdurodon tharalkooschild is an extinct species of platypus in the genus Obdurodon.
Only one single tooth has been found.
This was at the Miocene fossil beds in Riversleigh in Queensland, Australia.
The species lived during in the middle and upper Miocene about 5–15 million years ago.
Wear on the tooth shows that it probably crushed hard shells such as those of turtles.
Because of this, scientists believe that  O. tharalkooschild was carnivorous.
They also believe that it was twice the size of the modern platypus at one metre long.
Its name was chosen in honour of an indigenous Australian creation story for the platypus, where a duck named Tharalkoo gives birth to a strange and fantastic creature after being ravished by a water-rat.

The IEC 61850 is a technical standard in the design of the automation of electrical substations.
The standard specifies several protocols.
A current transformer (CT) is a transformer used to measure alternating current.
CT is a part of instrument transformer.
CT is used to measure current in a circuit when the current magnitude is too high to be measured safely.
It is commonly used in power metering and power system protection.
A production line is a sequence of tasks (or operations) done in a factory.
The tasks process materials to make a useful product.
An example is an assembly line, used in manufacturing.
Production lines were introduced with the development of the steam engine.
It depended less on the power source.
A distribution board is a component of an electrical system.
It separates the power supply into several circuits in an enclosure.
It provides each circuit with its protection system by using a fuse or circuit breaker.
An electrical enclosure is a cabinet used to hold electrical equipment.
It keeps the equipment safely separated from people to prevent electrical shock.
A partial discharge (PD) is an electric discharge that breaks through a small portion of the insulation between two conductors.
A discharge is when electrical charge that has accumulated is suddenly released (like a spark).
A partial discharge does not completely cross the insulation between the two conductors, only a small portion of it in one area.
It may happen under the stress of high voltage.
It is caused by a small opening (void) inside the insulating material.
The insulating material can be either solid or fluid.
The charge passing through this insulation is called electrical breakdown.

Decomposition, or rotting, is what happens to living things when they die.
It also happens to organic material of any kind, such as foodstuffs.
The reason it happens is that organic molecules are stores of building blocks and energy.
Whatever breaks down organic material uses the energy and building blocks to reproduce itself.
One whole kingdom of living things does nothing except break down organic material: the fungi.
Their life style is called 'saprophytic', because they break down and intake organic matter through their cell walls.
A large part of decomposition is done by microbes, especially bacteria.
Also common is digestion of flesh by maggots.
If insects lay eggs, maggots hatch and begin to feed on the body's tissues.
Lastly, decomposition can take place by inorganic processes.
All organic materials break down over time because they are in higher energy states than ordinary inorganic materials.
Tokyo DisneySea opened in 2001, and it was the second theme park opened at Tokyo Disney Resort, following Tokyo Disneyland which opened in 1983, following the near competition of WhiteWater World.
Also, it is the ninth park of the Disney theme parks.

It is next to the sea.
There is a large lake in the middle of the park.
Tokyo DisneySea and Tokyo Disneyland are owned by The Oriental Land Company They are the only Disney parks in the world not owned by The Walt Disney Company.
The concept of Tokyo DisneySea is different from other Disney parks.
The Walt Disney Company had planned to build a new water-themed park in Long Beach, California.
However, because of its financial crisis caused by Euro Disney project, the idea was passed on to The Oriental Land Company, which licenses Disney characters and themes from The Walt Disney Company.
They decided to build DisneySea in Tokyo, where people hold the sea sacred.
Tokyo DisneySea is more for adults, unlike Tokyo Disneyland which is more for kids.
Both are family parks, but Tokyo DisneySea includes faster and scarier rides and facilities targeted to more mature people.
Tokyo DisneySea is divided into seven themed ports.
The seven ports have different themes related to Disney movies or originally created by Disney.
Six ports are laid out roughly around the center, and the center area is one of the ports which is called Mysterious Island.
Instead of Cinderella Castle that is the icon of most Disney parks, there is Mount Prometheus on the center of Mysterious Island which is the icon of Tokyo DisneySea.
In the entrance plaza, there is a huge model of the earth with a water fountain.
It is called the DisneySea AquaSphere and it is the symbol of Tokyo DisneySea.
