Ecgfrith († 796) was the King of Mercia from July to December 796.
He was the son of Offa, the King of Mercia, and Cynethryth.
In 787 he was crowned King of Mercia while his father still ruled.
This is the first known consecration of an English king.
No doubt it was Offs's imitation of the consecration of Charlemagne's sons by the pope in 781.
It was a practical way to recognize Ecgfrith as heir to the Mercian kingdom.
Offa continued to rule and maintained all the power himself.
Ecgfrith was succeeded as king by Coenwulf.
This was probably because Offa had arranged the murder of nearer relatives in order to eliminate any rivals to Ecgfrith.
Alcuin of York, an English deacon and scholar wrote:
Alcuin added: "This was not a strengthening of the kingdom, but its ruin."
When his father died in July of 796 Ecgfrith was king for only 141 days.
The cause of his death is unknown but may not have been natural.

The Division of Lindsay is an Australian Electoral Division in the state of New South Wales.
It was set up in 1984 and is named after Sir Norman Lindsay, the Australian artist, writer and sculptor.
Jackie Kelly won the seat during the 1996 election.
Her win was challenged in the Court of Disputed Returns because she was still a citizen of New Zealand, and she worked as a legal officer for the Royal Australian Air Force.
The Australian Constitution (Section 44) does not allow people who are citizens of another country, or people who are employed by the government to be members of Parliament.
A by-election was held, and Kelly who had given up her New Zealand citizenship, and resigned from her airforce job was elected again.
In 2007 Kelly was again in trouble.
Three days before the election her supporters, including her husband, were caught in Lindsay putting fake letters in peoples' letterboxes.
These letters linked the Labor Party to Islamic terrorism.
David Bradbury had served as the Mayor of Penrith.
Every member of Lindsay to date, except Scott, has served as a minister.

A stop codon, or termination codon, is special sequence in the genetic code.
It is a nucleotide triplet in messenger RNA that signals the end of translation.
It is a codon (that is, a sequence of three nucleotides in messenger RNA).
It indicates the end of a gene.
Similar to how a full stop indicates the end of a sentence, a stop codon signals the end of genetic translation.
They are also called termination codons or chain termination codons.
There are three such codons: UAA, UAG and UGA.
Proteins are based on polypeptides, which are unique sequences of amino acids.
Most codons in messenger RNA correspond to the addition of an amino acid to a growing polypeptide chain, which may ultimately become a protein.
Stop codons indicate the end of this process, and therefore, the end of polypeptide synthesis.
Coenwulf (also spelled Cenwulf and Kenulf) (died 821) was a Mercian nobleman and the King of Mercia from December 796 until his death.
He claimed to be a descendant of a Cenwalh, a brother of Penda and Eowa.
The sudden death of King Ecgfrith of Mercia was suspicious and certainly benefited Coenwulf but he was never formally accused.
Coenwulf proved to be a strong king who quickly restored Mercian dominance in southern England.
He was the last of the Mercian overlords or bretwaldas.
Coenwulf was the son of Cuthbert, a Mercian nobleman.
He came to the throne in 796, the same year Offa and his son Ecgfrith both died.
At the same time Coenwulf became king, Eadberht Praen set himself up as king of Kent.
An Eadwald set himself up as king of the East Angles and began issuing coins.
When Eadberht Praen expelled Aethelheard, the Archbishop of Canterbury from Kent, Coenwulf contacted Pope Leo III and got permission to remove the new Kentish king.
Eadbert attacked Kent, and captured Eadbert.
He then set up his brother Cuthred as king of Kent.
Coenwulf then dealt with East Anglia where Eadwald had tried to gain independence from Mercia.
In 799 Coenwulf made a peace treaty with Wessex.
He restored Mercian power to southern England very quickly.
He then began using the style of Charlemagne calling himself king and emperor.
He attacked the Welsh making raids on Gwynedd and Powys.
In one of these battles Caradog ap Meirion, the king of Gwynedd was killed.
In 801 King Eardwulf of Northumbria attacked Mercia.
He accused Coenwulf of giving refuge to his enemies.
Eventually the two made peace on equal terms.
This was through the mediations of several bishops and nobles.
Coenwulf wanted all the English churches placed under the authority of a single archbishop.
But he wanted him seated in London, not Canterbury.
He managed to abolish the archbishopric of Lichfield in 803.
Coenwulf tried to convince the pope on moving the remaining archbishopric to London.
But the pope felt that Coenwulf's success in bringing Kent under his control meant the move was no longer necessary.
So the archbishop remained in Canterbury, Kent.
When Archbishop Aethelheard died in 805, his archdeacon Wulfred was appointed the new archbishop.
Wulfred witnessed charters for Coenwulf from 805 to 817 but then promptly stopped.
Archbishop Wulfred and King Coenwulf quarreled for several years.
It may have started over a claim by Coenwulf to various lands held by the see of  Canterbury.
Wulfred in turn began minting coins without the name of King Coenwulf.
Finally in 817 Coenwulf took Wulfred's monasteries of Reculver and Minster-in-Thanet.
Then he brought charges against Wulfred to Pope Paschal I. As a result, Wulfred was relieved of many of his duties by the pope.
In 821 Coenwulf summoned the archbishop to appear before him in London.
There Wulfred was fined 120 pounds and an estate of 250 hides He was then restored to his duties as archbishop.
In 818 he was again attacking the Britons in Dyfed.
He was planning another campaign against Wales when he died in 821.
He was succeeded by his brother Ceolwulf I of Mercia.
Coenwulf was buried at Winchcombe abbey where his daughter Cwenthryh was later abbess.
A lead seal belonging to King Coenwulf was found during the 19th century in Italy.
Cynehelm (died 812), heir to the throne but died before his father.

On 17 September 822 he was consecrated king by Archbishop Wulfred.
In charters issued by Ceolwulf he styled himself  This shows he had authority in Kent.
But his rule in Mercia was marked by discord among his noblemen.
He was removed from the throne in 823.
After being deposed Ceolwulf left Mercia for Rome.
By this time he was older, probably in his fifties.
He was the last of the Iclingas dynasty who had ruled Mercia for over three centuries.
Beornwulf who replaced him was from a family little is known about.
A machine pistol is a typically a handgun-style firearm that can fire fully automatic or burst fire.
Fully automatic means that the gun will continue to fire very rapidly so long as the trigger is pressed and held.
Burst fire means that when you pull the trigger, a number of shots determined by the shooter will be fired (for some guns, this is three shots, fired very quickly).
Machine pistols fire pistol cartridges.
Machine pistols usually have the cartridges fed into the gun with a magazine, which is a rectangular box which holds the cartridges.
The first true machine pistol was the German MP-18 introduced in 1918.
It fired the 9mm Parabellum cartridge.
It used a side-loading magazine that held 20 cartridges.
The Germans converted some pistols, like the Luger, into machine pistols.
They invented a type of Luger called the Luger P08 in World War I to German artillery crews.
It had a longer barrel and a 32 round magazine shaped like a round drum.
It was given to artillery crews so they could defend themselves.
In 1951 the Russian army developed the Stechkin APS, which could fire in burst fire or in fully automatic fire.
When the gun was used in burst or automatic fire, users were told to use the wooden stock so that they can control the weapon better.
One of the problems with machine pistols is they tend to rise up when being fired, making the bullets miss their target.
1990s2000s
In the 1990s and 2000s, as  more soldier began wearing bulletproof vests with hard ceramic armor, the machine pistol became less useful in a military setting.
The low-powered pistol ammunition was not able to penetrate ceramic-plated Kevlar military vests.
As a result, armies began to issue a new gun, the personal defense weapon or PDW.
The PDW fires armor-piercing, higher-powered ammunition which can go through bulletproof vests.

In probability theory and statistics, the expected value of a random variable  (represented by the symbol ) is the average value the variable will take, that is, assuming that the experiment is repeated an infinite number of times, and the mean (or weighted average) of all the values is calculated along the way.
By definition, the expected value of a discrete random variable  is calculated by the formula , where  is the probability that  equals , and  ranges over all possible values of .
Relationship to weighted average
It is possible to think of the expected value as a weighted average, where the weights,  are equal to .
The sum over all probabilities, equals one ().
This allows us to write the weighted average as:

He was the pupil and nephew of Canaletto and sometimes used the latter's illustrious name, signing himself as Bernardo Canaletto.

Beornwulf († 826) was a Mercian nobleman who became the King of Mercia.
Although not of the Mercian royal family himself he usurped the throne from Ceolwulf in 823.
He ruled Mercia until his death three years later.
Little is known about Beornwulf's family.
He played a large part in Ceolwulf I losing the throne in 823.
He succeeded Ceolwulf as king in the summer of 823.
Beornwulf continued the campaign against Powys started by Coenwulf and his brother Ceolwulf I. By the end of 823 Powys was being controlled by Mercia.
By 825 Beornwulf had extended his authority over Kent, Essex and Middlesex.
In 825 Beornwulf invaded Wessex.
In what Frank Stenton called "one of the most decisive battles of Anglo-Saxon history" Egbert defeated Beornwulf at the Battle of Ellandun.
As a result, all of Kent, Surrey, Sussex and East Anglia submitted to Egbert of Wessex.
Egbert was cautious though.
He kew Mercia had a powerful army and did not attack Mercia directly.
Instead he instigated the East Anglians to revolt against Beornwulf.
When Beornwulf tried to recover East Anglia in 826 he was killed in the attempt.
He was succeeded by one of his ealdormen, Ludeca of Mercia.
The French Resistance is the name used to refer to the different French resistance movements that fought against the Nazi German military occupation in France during World War II (1939–1945).
Résistance cells were small groups of armed men and women who killed German soldiers, published secret underground newspapers, collected information about the German army, and helped Allied soldiers and pilots who were trapped in France to get back to Great Britain.
The men and women of the Résistance came from all levels of society and many different religions.
The Allied armies helped the French Resistance by providing them with guns and explosives.
It was very dangerous to be a member of the French resistance.
Members who were caught by the Germans were often tortured and killed.
When the Resistance killed a German officer, sometimes the Nazi army would kill large numbers of innocent civilians as a punishment.
The French Resistance helped the Allied armies to advance through France following the invasion of Normandy on 6 June 1944, and the invasion of Provence on 15 August by providing information about the German defenses.
The resistance also sabotaged the electrical power grid, transportation methods, and telecommunications networks.
During the Nazi occupation of France, the resistance was an inspiring example of patriotic behavior and bravery.
When the war was over, the Resistance executed about 9,000 people who were collaborating with the Nazi occupiers.
This included many members of the Milices, a fascist organization that helped Nazi Germany.

A rhythm section is the group of musicians in a rock music, jazz, or country music group who play their instruments to set out the pulse or beat of the music.
This is played in accompaniment to the rest of the band.
Some of the rhythm section instruments, such as the guitar and the piano, also play the chord progression (sequence of chords) that a song is based upon.
Some rhythm section instruments, such as the drums and percussion, are just used to set out the beat.
Most rhythm sections include a bass instrument, such as the bass guitar or the double bass, which plays the deep, low notes of the chord progression.
The Middle Angles were an important ethnic group in the kingdom of Mercia during the Anglo-Saxon period.
It is probable that Angles moved into the Midlands from East Anglia early in the 6th century.
The area they occupied is now centred around modern Leicestershire and Northamptonshire.
They were in place before the reign of Penda (c.626-655).
He made his eldest son, Peada, King of the Middle Angles in 653.
For some time they kept their own identity in Mercia.
The Middle Angles had their own bishop based in Leicester.

A lap dance is a type of sex work performed in some strip clubs (clubs in which women or men take off their clothes as they dance to music).
In this, a dancer performs an erotic dance either contacting their body (contact dancing) with a seated patron or within a very short distance of a seated patron.
The dancer may be naked, topless or wearing a bikini top and bottom, depending on the laws in the jurisdiction of the strip club and the club's policies.
With full-contact lap dances, the stripper may engage in contact with the patron, such as pressing his or her body against the patron.
Different types include a couch dance, which is a lap dance where the customer is seated on a couch, and bed dance where the customer lies down on a bed.
In some clubs, a "block session" of lap dances (usually half an hour to an hour) can be booked in a "champagne room", which is a private room in the back of a club.
In many clubs, the duration of a lap dance is measured by the length of the song being played by the club's DJ.
Charges for lap dances vary.
Depending on the local jurisdiction and community standards, lap dances can involve touching of the dancer by the patron, touching the patron by the dancer, neither, or both.
In some clubs, any touching by the patron is forbidden.
On the other hand, if a club does not enforce its rules, levels of contact may be negotiable between the participants.
Clubs vary widely with regard to whether they enforce their rules or ignore any violations.
Critics of lapdancing say that some club owners, by installing dark private booths and charging dancers high stage fees to work at the club, are encouraging the sale of sexual acts between customers and dancers.
According to the UK paper The Guardian, "Research shows that the majority of women become lap-dancers through poverty and lack" of other jobs.
Ludeca († 827) was a Mercian nobleman and ealdorman.
At the death of Beornwulf in 826 he became the King of Mercia.
He ruled what was left of Mercia after Beornwulf's defeat by Egbert of Wessex at the Battle of Ellandun.
He ruled Mercia until his own death, barely a year later.
In 824 two charters of King Beornwulf are witnessed by Ludeca, then a member of his court.
His title on those charters is .
Nothing else is known of Ludeca.
At Beornwulf's death he became king.
But the kingdom Ludeca now ruled was just Mercia, Lindsey, Middle Anglia and the Mercian provinces of the Hwicce and Magonsæte.
All of southern England was in disorder.
Egbert of Wessex now had control of Essex and Kent.
He had instigated the revolt by the East Anglians that resulted in Beornwulf's death.
The East Anglians saw this as a chance for their independence from Mercia.
