`` I Knew the Bride ( When She Used to Rock ' n ' Roll ) '' is a song written by Nick Lowe and first popularized by Dave Edmunds . It was released on Edmunds 's 1977 album Get It and a year later in a live version by Nick Lowe 's Last Chicken in the Shop on Live Stiffs Live .


During the trial , the brothers claimed that the murders stemmed from years of sexual and psychological abuse that they had suffered at the hands of their parents . They were first tried by two different juries ( one for each brother ) . Both juries deadlocked which led to a mistrial . For the second trial , Erik and Lyle were judged by the same jury , who rejected the defense 's claim . The brothers were sentenced to life imprisonment without the possibility of parole .


The prince - electors ( or simply electors ) of the Holy Roman Empire ( German : Kurfürst ( listen ( help info ) ) , pl . Kurfürsten , Czech : Kurfiřt , Latin : Princeps Elector ) were the members of the electoral college of the Holy Roman Empire .


From the 13th century onwards , the Prince - Electors had the privilege of electing the King of the Romans , who would be crowned by the Pope as Holy Roman Emperor . Charles V was the last to be a crowned Emperor ( elected 1519 , crowned 1530 ) ; his successors were elected Emperors directly by the electoral college , each being titled `` Elected Emperor of the Romans '' ( German : erwählter Römischer Kaiser ; Latin : electus Romanorum imperator ) . In practice , all but one Emperor ( Charles VII from the House of Wittelsbach ) from 1440 onwards came from the Austrian House of Habsburg , and the Electors merely ratified the Habsburg succession .


In total , 29 players have reached the 50 home run club in MLB history and nine have done so more than once . Of these , seventeen were right - handed batters , eleven were left - handed , and one was a switch hitter , meaning he could bat from either side of the plate . Four of these players ( including two active members of the 50 home run club ) have played for only one major league team . The New York Yankees are the only franchise to have five players reach the milestone while on their roster : Ruth , Mickey Mantle , Roger Maris , Alex Rodriguez , and Aaron Judge . Ten players are also members of the 500 home run club and two of them ( Willie Mays and Rodriguez ) are also members of the 3,000 hit club . Ten players won the Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Award in the same year as their 50 home run season . Mantle is the only player to have earned the Major League Triple Crown alongside achieving 50 home runs , leading both leagues in batting average , home runs and runs batted in ( RBI ) . Mantle and Maris -- collectively known as the M&M Boys -- are the only teammates to reach the 50 home run club in the same season , hitting a combined 115 home runs in 1961 and breaking the single - season record for home runs by a pair of teammates . Albert Belle is the only player to amass 50 or more doubles in addition to attaining 50 home runs . Prince Fielder , at 23 years and 139 days , was the youngest player to reach the milestone while Bonds , at age 37 , was the oldest .


Earlier theories ( e.g. by Alfred Wegener and Alexander du Toit ) of continental drift postulated that continents `` ploughed '' through the sea . The idea that the seafloor itself moves ( and also carries the continents with it ) as it expands from a central axis was proposed by Harry Hess from Princeton University in the 1960s . The theory is well accepted now , and the phenomenon is known to be caused by convection currents in the asthenosphere , which is ductile , or plastic , and the brittle lithosphere ( crust and upper mantle ) .

Since then , it has been shown that the motion of the continents is linked to seafloor spreading by the theory of plate tectonics . In the 1960s , the past record of geomagnetic reversals was noticed by observing the magnetic stripe `` anomalies '' on the ocean floor . This results in broadly evident `` stripes '' from which the past magnetic field polarity can be inferred by looking at the data gathered from simply towing a magnetometer on the sea surface or from an aircraft . The stripes on one side of the mid-ocean ridge were the mirror image of those on the other side . The seafloor must have originated on the Earth 's great fiery welts , like the Mid-Atlantic Ridge and the East Pacific Rise .

High school senior Buffy Summers ( Kristy Swanson ) is introduced as a stereotypical `` popular girl '' at Hemery High School in Los Angeles whose main concerns are shopping and spending time with her rich , snooty friends and her boyfriend , Jeffrey . While at school one day , she is approached by a man who calls himself Merrick ( Donald Sutherland ) . He informs her that she is The Slayer , or Chosen One , destined to kill vampires , and he is a Watcher whose duty it is to guide and train her . She initially rebukes his claims , but is convinced that he is right when he is able to describe a recurring dream of hers in detail . In addition , Buffy is exhibiting uncanny abilities not known to her , including heightened agility , senses , and endurance , yet she repeatedly tries Merrick 's patience with her frivolous nature , indifference to slaying and sharp - tongued remarks .


There has been much speculation about what their last song was . A first - class Canadian passenger , Mrs. Vera Dick , and several other passengers , alleged that the final tune played was that of the hymn `` Nearer , My God , to Thee '' . Hartley reportedly once said to a friend if he were on a sinking ship , `` Nearer , My God , to Thee '' would be one of the songs he would play . But Walter Lord 's book A Night to Remember popularised wireless operator Harold Bride 's 1912 account ( New York Times ) that he heard the song `` Autumn '' before the ship sank . It is considered Bride either meant the hymn tune known as `` Autumn '' or the tune of the then - popular waltz `` Songe d'Automne '' but neither was in the White Star Line songbook for the band . Bride is one of only two witnesses who were close enough to the band , as he floated off the deck before the ship went down . Some consider his statement to be reliable . Mrs. Dick had left by lifeboat an hour and 20 minutes earlier and could not possibly have heard the band 's final moments . The notion that the band played `` Nearer , My God , to Thee '' as a swan song is possibly a myth originating from the wrecking of SS Valencia , which had received wide press coverage in Canada in 1906 and so may have influenced Mrs. Dick 's recollection .


The vascular cambium is the main growth layer in the stems and roots of many plants , specifically in dicots such as buttercups and oak trees , and gymnosperms such as pine trees . It produces xylem on the inside and phloem on the outside . In herbaceous plants , it occurs in the vascular bundles which are often arranged like beads on a necklace forming an interrupted ring inside the stem . In woody plants , it forms a continuous ring and grows new wood on the inside .


Although large - scale use of wheels did not occur in the Americas prior to European contact , numerous small wheeled artifacts , identified as children 's toys , have been found in Mexican archeological sites , some dating to about 1500 BC . It is thought that the primary obstacle to large - scale development of the wheel in the Americas was the absence of domesticated large animals which could be used to pull wheeled carriages . The closest relative of cattle present in Americas in pre-Columbian times , the American Bison , is difficult to domesticate and was never domesticated by Native Americans ; several horse species existed until about 12,000 years ago , but ultimately became extinct . The only large animal that was domesticated in the Western hemisphere , the llama , did not spread far beyond the Andes by the time of the arrival of Columbus .

The Baltimore Colts relocation to Indianapolis was a successful effort by the then - owner of the Baltimore Colts ( Robert Irsay ) to move the American football team from Baltimore , Maryland to Indianapolis , Indiana . The team began play as the Indianapolis Colts for the 1984 National Football League ( NFL ) season . The Colts ' move was completely unannounced and occurred in the early hours of March 29 , 1984 , after years of lobbying for a new stadium to replace the inadequate Memorial Stadium . The franchise 's move continues to embitter many Baltimore natives decades afterward , and would have a lasting impact on the NFL , including another controversial relocation twelve years later that resulted in Baltimore receiving its current NFL team , the Ravens .


Originally , Top Hat customers would park their automobiles anywhere on the gravel parking lot and walk up to place their orders . However , on a trip to Louisiana , Smith saw a drive - in that used speakers for ordering . He suspected that he could increase his sales by controlling the parking and having the customers order from speakers at their cars , with carhops delivering the food to the cars . Smith borrowed several automobiles from a friend who owned a used - car lot to establish a layout for controlled parking . He also had some so - called `` jukebox boys '' come in and wire an intercom system in the parking lot . Sales immediately tripled . Charles Woodrow Pappe , an entrepreneur , chanced upon the Shawnee drive - in and was impressed . He and Smith negotiated the first franchise location in Woodward , Oklahoma , in 1956 , based on nothing more than a handshake . By 1958 , two more drive - ins were built , in Enid and Stillwater .


The Phantom of the Opera is an operetta with music by Andrew Lloyd Webber and lyrics by Charles Hart and Richard Stilgoe . Lloyd Webber and Stilgoe also wrote the operetta 's book together .

On March 28 , 1984 , due to the Maryland Senate 's actions , the Phoenix group withdrew its offer . That afternoon , Irsay paid a call to Mayor Hudnut and the city of Indianapolis offered the Colts owner a $12.5 million loan , a $4 million training complex , and the use of the brand new $77.5 million , 57,980 seat Hoosier Dome . Irsay agreed , which set a chain of events into motion that would bring about the move .

Other names for the vascular cambium are the main cambium , wood cambium , or bifacial cambium . In more detail , the vascular cambium is a plant tissue located between the xylem and the phloem in the stems and roots of certain vascular plants . It is a cylinder of unspecialized meristem cells that divide to form secondary vascular tissues . It is the source of both secondary xylem growth inwards towards the pith , and secondary phloem growth outwards to the bark . Unlike the xylem and phloem , it does not transport water , minerals or food through the plant .


The Great Oxygenation Event , the beginning of which is commonly known in scientific media as the Great Oxidation Event ( GOE , also called the Oxygen Catastrophe , Oxygen Crisis , Oxygen Holocaust , Oxygen Revolution , or Great Oxidation ) was the biologically induced appearance of dioxygen ( O ) in Earth 's atmosphere . Geological , isotopic , and chemical evidence suggest that this major environmental change happened around 2.45 billion years ago ( 2.45 Ga ) , during the Siderian period , at the beginning of the Proterozoic eon . The causes of the event are not clear . The current geochemical and biomarker evidence for the development of oxygenic photosynthesis before the Great Oxidation Event has been mostly inconclusive .

The ecliptic is the circular path on the celestial sphere that the Sun appears to follow over the course of a year ; it is the basis of the ecliptic coordinate system . The term also refers to the plane of this path , which is coplanar with Earth 's orbit around the Sun ( and hence the Sun 's apparent orbit around Earth ) . The ecliptic is not normally noticeable from Earth 's surface because Earth rotates , carrying the observer through the cycles of sunrise and sunset , which obscure the Sun 's apparent motion against the background of fixed stars .

As a result , all Brenda 's friends apologized for their behavior towards her . During the fourth season , Brenda is interested in the drama department but it also led to problems : she spoiled her first audition and then went to the director of the play to try again and convince him . She then got the role , but a student made a rumor saying that she had slept to have the role . Unfortunately , this student was the girlfriend of Steve Sanders and the latter believed the rumors , others refusing more or less to believe the denials of Brenda . Steve understood his mistake when the student asked him to attack Brenda to make her miss rehearsals . A little later , Steve 's friend tried to commit suicide , but Brenda and Steve joined forces to save her and Steve was finally compensated by following Brenda 's debut on stage . The director 's praise led her to accept the latter at the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts ( RADA ) in London for a year . After Kelly and Dylan last broke up , Brenda finally learned that a relationship was possible between Kelly and Brandon and expressed her blessing . She later spent her last night with Dylan , telling her she would not be gone forever . The couple will reconcile briefly in the final scene of the fourth season , though ( because of Shannen Doherty 's departure ) Brenda 's character was removed from the script and she never returned to Beverly Hills .

While iron ore deposits were known , like the Mount Whaleback deposit discovered in 1957 by Stan Hilditch , it was not until 1960 , when the Australian Government lifted the embargo on iron ore exports it had put in place because of concerns the mineral was in short supply , that mining began in earnest . Up until the mid-1960s , iron ore production in Western Australia , and Australia as a whole , was negligible , in the range of less than 10 million tons a year . By the mid-1970s , this figure had reached 100 million tonnes , with the majority coming from Western Australia . Production slightly declined in the 1980s but it improved in the 1990s , reaching 150 million tonnes for the country by 1997 and 200 million tonnes by 2003 .


`` I Can Only Imagine '' was released in 2001 as the album 's lead single .

It charted on several formats , including the Billboard Adult Contemporary ( where it peaked at No. 5 ) and the Hot 100 ( where it peaked at No. 71 ) . In 2002 , `` I Can Only Imagine '' earned the Dove Awards for ' Pop / Contemporary Recorded Song of the Year ' and ' Song of the Year ' ; Millard earned the Dove Award ' Songwriter of the Year ' at the same ceremony . With 2.5 million copies sold , it is the best - selling Christian single of all time , having been certified 2x platinum by the RIAA . As of 2018 , it is the only Christian song to reach that milestone .


Just prior to President Obama 's 2014 State of the Union Address , media reported that the top wealthiest 1 % possess 40 % of the nation 's wealth ; the bottom 80 % own 7 % ; similarly , but later , the media reported , the `` richest 1 percent in the United States now own more additional income than the bottom 90 percent '' . The gap between the top 10 % and the middle class is over 1,000 % ; that increases another 1,000 % for the top 1 % . The average employee `` needs to work more than a month to earn what the CEO earns in one hour . '' Although different from income inequality , the two are related . In Inequality for All -- a 2013 documentary with Robert Reich in which he argued that income inequality is the defining issue for the United States -- Reich states that 95 % of economic gains went to the top 1 % net worth ( HNWI ) since 2009 when the recovery allegedly started . More recently , in 2017 , an Oxfam study found that eight rich people , six of them Americans , own as much combined wealth as half the human race .

Maine is best known for her loss in Havana Harbor on the evening of 15 February 1898 . Sent to protect U.S. interests during the Cuban revolt against Spain , she exploded suddenly , without warning , and sank quickly , killing nearly three quarters of her crew .

Nevertheless , popular opinion in the U.S. , fanned by inflammatory articles printed in the `` yellow press '' by William Randolph Hearst and Joseph Pulitzer , blamed Spain .

The primary steps in the commercialization of sound cinema were taken in the mid - to late 1920s . At first , the sound films which included synchronized dialogue , known as `` talking pictures '' , or `` talkies '' , were exclusively shorts . The earliest feature - length movies with recorded sound included only music and effects . The first feature film originally presented as a talkie was The Jazz Singer , released in October 1927 . A major hit , it was made with Vitaphone , which was at the time the leading brand of sound - on - disc technology . Sound - on - film , however , would soon become the standard for talking pictures .

In the Hebrew Bible the Book of Life - the book or muster - roll of God - records forever all people considered righteous before God . God has such a book , and to be blotted out of it signifies death . It is with reference to the Book of Life that the holy remnant is spoken of as being written unto life in Jerusalem ; compare also Ezekiel ix. 4 , where one of the six heavenly envoys `` who had the scribe 's inkhorn upon his loins '' is told to mark the righteous for life , while the remainder of the inhabitants of Jerusalem are doomed . The Psalmist likewise speaks of the Book of Life in which only the names of the righteous are written `` and from which the unrighteous are blotted out '' . Even the tears of men are recorded in this Book of God . `` Every one that shall be found written in the book ... shall awake to everlasting life '' . This book is probably identical with the `` Book of Remembrance '' in which are recorded the deeds of those that fear the Lord .


`` There 's a Hole in My Bucket '' ( or `` ... in the Bucket '' ) is a children 's song , based on a dialogue between two characters , called Henry and Liza , about a leaky bucket . The song describes a deadlock situation : Henry has a leaky bucket , and Liza tells him to repair it . To fix the leaky bucket , he needs straw . To cut the straw , he needs an axe . To sharpen the axe , he needs to wet the sharpening stone . To wet the stone , he needs water . But to fetch water , he needs the bucket , which has a hole in it .


Deep - cycle lead - acid batteries generally fall into two distinct categories ; flooded ( FLA ) and valve - regulated lead - acid ( VRLA ) , with the VRLA type further subdivided into two types , Absorbed Glass Mat ( AGM ) and Gel . The reinforcement of absorbed glass mat separators helps to reduce damage caused by spilling and jolting vibrations . Further , flooded deep - cycle batteries can be divided into subcategories of Tubular - plated Opzs or flat plated . The difference generally affects the cycle life and performance of the cell . The structural difference between deep - cycle batteries and cranking batteries is in the lead battery plates . Deep cycle battery plates have thicker active plates , with higher - density active paste material and thicker separators . Alloys used for the plates in a deep cycle battery may contain more antimony than that of starting batteries . The thicker battery plates resist corrosion through extended charge and discharge cycles .

In 1936 , the couple were returning from an ocean voyage to Europe when the rhythm of the ship 's engines inspired the poem that became his first book : And to Think That I Saw It on Mulberry Street . Based on Geisel 's varied accounts , the book was rejected by between 20 and 43 publishers . According to Geisel , he was walking home to burn the manuscript when a chance encounter with an old Dartmouth classmate led to its publication by Vanguard Press . Geisel wrote four more books before the US entered World War II . This included The 500 Hats of Bartholomew Cubbins in 1938 , as well as The King 's Stilts and The Seven Lady Godivas in 1939 , all of which were in prose , atypically for him . This was followed by Horton Hatches the Egg in 1940 , in which Geisel returned to the use of poetry .

The intermaxillary segment in an embryo is a mass of tissue formed by the merging of tissues in the vicinity of the nose . It is essential for human survival . It is primordial , since in the further development of the embryo this particular mass no longer appears , but parts of it remain in `` the intermaxillary portion of the upper jaw , the portion of the upper lip , and the primary palate '' .

The 256 - acre ( 1.04 km ; 0.400 sq mi ) campus often referred to as `` The Mecca '' is located in northwest Washington . Major improvements , additions , and changes occurred at the school in the aftermath of World War I. New buildings were built under the direction of architect Albert Cassell . Howard 's buildings and plant have a value of $567.6 million .


The caps at both poles consist primarily of water ice . Frozen carbon dioxide accumulates as a comparatively thin layer about one metre thick on the north cap in the northern winter only , while the south cap has a permanent dry ice cover about 8 m thick . The northern polar cap has a diameter of about 1000 km during the northern Mars summer , and contains about 1.6 million cubic km of ice , which if spread evenly on the cap would be 2 km thick . ( This compares to a volume of 2.85 million cubic km ( km ) for the Greenland ice sheet . ) The southern polar cap has a diameter of 350 km and a thickness of 3 km . The total volume of ice in the south polar cap plus the adjacent layered deposits has also been estimated at 1.6 million cubic km . Both polar caps show spiral troughs , which recent analysis of SHARAD ice penetrating radar has shown are a result of roughly perpendicular katabatic winds that spiral due to the Coriolis Effect .


A short chapter , mainly consisting of two newspaper articles , informs the reader , that Jean Valjean has been re-arrested while getting into the stagecoach to Montfermeil ( on his way to get Fantine 's eight - year - old daughter , Cosette , whom he had promised to rescue ) . In July 1823 , he was condemned to death for the 40 - sous theft and the escape from the jail in Montreuil - sur - Mer , as the prosecutor claims that Valjean was part of a gang of street robbers and the latter refuses to defend himself . His sentence was graciously reduced by the king to only life in prison instead of death . Before he was captured , Jean Valjean had already traveled near to Montfermeil and buried all the money he 'd saved as M. Madeleine -- a chapter tells of a worker in Montfermeil , a former Toulon convict , who claims having seen , according to a local fairy tale , the devil burying his treasure in the forest . No further explanation is ever given as to why , having buried his money near Montfermeil , Valjean had traveled back to Paris and then attempted to travel back to Montfermeil .


A biblical covenant is a religious covenant that is described in the Bible . All Abrahamic religions consider biblical covenants important . Of the covenants found in the Pentateuch or Torah or the first five books of Genesis , Exodus , Leviticus , Numbers and Deuteronomy , the Noahic Covenant is unique in applying to all humanity , while the other covenants are principally agreements made between God and the biblical Israelites .

The planet Mars has two permanent polar ice caps . During a pole 's winter , it lies in continuous darkness , chilling the surface and causing the deposition of 25 -- 30 % of the atmosphere into slabs of CO ice ( dry ice ) . When the poles are again exposed to sunlight , the frozen CO sublimes , creating enormous winds that sweep off the poles as fast as 400 km / h . These seasonal actions transport large amounts of dust and water vapor , giving rise to Earth - like frost and large cirrus clouds . Clouds of water - ice were photographed by the Opportunity rover in 2004 .


The Bantu Education Act , 1953 ( Act No. 47 of 1953 ; later renamed the Black Education Act , 1953 ) was a South African segregation law which legalised several aspects of the apartheid system . Its major provision was enforcing racially separated educational facilities . Even universities were made `` tribal '' , and all but three missionary schools chose to close down when the government no longer would help support their schools . Very few authorities continued using their own finances to support education for native Africans . In 1959 , this type of education was extended to `` non white '' universities and colleges with the Extension of University Education Act , and the internationally prestigious University College of Fort Hare was taken over by the government and degraded to being part of the Bantu education system . It is often argued that the policy of Bantu ( African ) education was aimed to direct black or non-white youth to the unskilled labour market , although Hendrik Verwoerd , at the time Minister of Native Affairs , claimed that the aim was to solve South Africa 's `` ethnic problems '' by creating complementary economic and political units for different ethnic groups .


Much of Elena 's story revolves around her relationships with vampires Stefan Salvatore and his older brother , Damon . It is revealed that Elena is a Petrova Doppelgänger , which is thus responsible for her being identical to her ancestor , Katherine Pierce ( née Katerina Petrova ) . This also has the implication of making her a supernatural creature . Dobrev portrayed the `` conniving '' Katherine as well , who is opposite of Elena . The actress stated that it has been a challenge distinguishing the two , and enjoys playing them both . In the television series 's fourth season , Elena becomes a vampire and deals with the struggles that come with her change . She took the cure and became human again towards the end of the sixth season . In the finale of the sixth season , Kai linked Elena to Bonnie 's life by magic . Elena will only wake up when Bonnie dies in around 60 years . She was locked inside the Salvatore tomb , which was changed in the seventh season , and was relocated in Brooklyn , New York . In late 2016 , when it was announced that the eighth season would be the final season , Dobrev was in talks about returning to the television series to reprise her role in the final episode . After much speculation . Dobrev 's return was confirmed on January 26 , 2017 , via an Instagram post . Dobrev appeared in the final episode of the show as both Elena and her evil doppelgänger Katherine Pierce .

Fort Myers is the county seat and commercial center of Lee County , Florida , United States . It has grown rapidly in recent years . As of the 2010 census , the city population was 62,298 and in 2016 was estimated at 77,146 .


In season four , Elena is faced with the tough decision of whether to die or to feed on human blood so she can fully transition into a vampire . Elena , after realizing Stefan 's desperation to keep her alive , decides to complete her transition . Her relationship with Stefan ends , allowing her to begin a proper romance with Damon . Although , it is later revealed there is a sire bond between them . Sometime later whilst searching for the cure for vampirism , Jeremy is fed to the immortal Silas by Katherine . As a result , Damon used the sire bond to convince her to turn off her humanity , due to her incredible grief over losing her brother and the last remaining member of her family . Elena became ruthless without her emotions , going on killing sprees and being very hateful towards her friends . Towards the end of season four , Damon kills Matt in front of Elena to trigger her grief . After revealing that Matt had the Gilbert Ring on , Elena 's humanity was switched on and her emotions were focused on hate towards Katherine for killing Jeremy . Season four ended with Bonnie as a ghost after bringing Jeremy back to life and Elena fed Katherine the cure for vampirism in a moment of desperation as she was about to be killed . Elena had chosen Damon as the Salvatore that she loved .


In Timothy and Titus in the New Testament a more clearly defined episcopate can be seen . We are told that Paul had left Timothy in Ephesus and Titus in Crete to oversee the local church ( 1Tim 1 : 3 and Titus 1 : 5 ) . Paul commands Titus to ordain presbyters / bishops and to exercise general oversight , telling him to `` rebuke with all authority '' ( Titus 2 : 15 ) .

Led by Hall of Famers Elgin Baylor and Jerry West , Los Angeles made the NBA Finals six times in the 1960s , but lost each series to the Boston Celtics , beginning their long and storied rivalry . In 1968 , the Lakers acquired four - time NBA Most Valuable Player ( MVP ) Wilt Chamberlain to play center , and after losing in the Finals in 1969 and 1970 , they won their sixth NBA title -- and first in Los Angeles -- in 1972 , led by new head coach Bill Sharman . After the retirement of West and Chamberlain , the team acquired another center , Kareem Abdul - Jabbar , who had won multiple MVP awards , but was unable to make the Finals in the late 1970s . The 1980s Lakers were nicknamed `` Showtime '' due to their Magic Johnson - led fast break - offense , and won five championships in a 9 - year span , including their first ever Finals championship against the Celtics in 1985 . This team featured Hall of Famers in Johnson , Abdul - Jabbar , and James Worthy , and a Hall of Fame coach , Pat Riley . After Abdul - Jabbar and Johnson 's retirement , the team struggled in the early 1990s before acquiring Shaquille O'Neal and Kobe Bryant in 1996 . Led by O'Neal , Bryant , and another Hall of Fame coach , Phil Jackson , Los Angeles won three consecutive titles between 2000 to 2002 , securing the franchise its second `` three - peat '' .

During the Second World War , Turing worked for the Government Code and Cypher School ( GC&CS ) at Bletchley Park , Britain 's codebreaking centre that produced Ultra intelligence . For a time he led Hut 8 , the section which was responsible for German naval cryptanalysis . Here he devised a number of techniques for speeding the breaking of German ciphers , including improvements to the pre-war Polish bombe method , an electromechanical machine that could find settings for the Enigma machine . Turing played a pivotal role in cracking intercepted coded messages that enabled the Allies to defeat the Nazis in many crucial engagements , including the Battle of the Atlantic , and in so doing helped win the war . Counterfactual history is difficult with respect to the effect Ultra intelligence had on the length of the war , but at the upper end it has been estimated that this work shortened the war in Europe by more than two years and saved over fourteen million lives .


Guthridge retired in 2000 and North Carolina turned to Matt Doherty , the head coach at Notre Dame and a player on the 1982 championship team , to lead the Tar Heels . Doherty had little success while at North Carolina . In his first season , the Heels were ranked # 1 in the polls in the middle of the Atlantic Coast Conference schedule and finished with a 26 -- 7 record . But Doherty 's second season was the worst in recent history as the Tar Heels finished the season with a record of 8 -- 20 , missing postseason play entirely for the first time since the 1965 -- 66 season ( including a record 27 straight NCAA Tournament appearances ) and finishing with a losing record for the first time since 1962 ( Dean Smith 's first year as coach ) . They also finished 4 -- 12 in the ACC -- only the program 's second losing ACC record ever . The 12 losses were six more than the Tar Heels had ever suffered in a single season of ACC play , and placed them in a tie for 7th place -- the program 's first finish below fourth place ever . The season also saw the end of UNC 's run of 31 straight 20 - win seasons and 35 straight seasons of finishing third or higher in the ACC . After bringing in one of the top 5 incoming classes for the 2002 -- 2003 season , the Tar Heels started the season by knocking off a top 5 Kansas team and going on to win the Preseason NIT and returning to the AP top 25 . North Carolina went on to finish the season 17 -- 15 , missing the NCAA tournament . Matt Doherty led the Tar Heels to the third round of the NIT , where they ended their season with a loss to Georgetown .

Many residents of metropolitan regions work within the central urban area , and choose to live in satellite communities called suburbs and commute to work via automobile or mass transit . Others have taken advantage of technological advances to work from their homes . These processes often occur in more economically developed countries , especially in the United States , which is believed to be the first country in which the majority of the population lives in the suburbs , rather than in the cities or in rural areas . Proponents of containing urban sprawl argue that sprawl leads to urban decay and a concentration of lower income residents in the inner city .

Wood was selected from 150 actors who auditioned , including Jake Gyllenhaal . </Li> <Li> Ian McKellen as Gandalf the Grey : an Istari wizard and mentor to Frodo . Sean Connery was approached for the role , but did not understand the plot , while Patrick Stewart turned it down as he disliked the script . Before being cast , McKellen had to sort his schedule with 20th Century Fox as there was a two - month overlap with X-Men . He enjoyed playing Gandalf the Grey more than his transformed state in the next two films , and based his accent on Tolkien . Unlike his on - screen character , McKellen did not spend much time with the actors playing the Hobbits ; instead he worked with their scale doubles . </Li> <Li> Sean Astin as Samwise `` Sam '' Gamgee : a hobbit gardener and Frodo 's best friend .

Mortensen 's son , a fan of the book , convinced him to take the role . Mortensen read the book on the plane , received a crash course lesson in fencing from Bob Anderson and began filming the scenes on Weathertop .

Monaghan was cast as Merry after auditioning for Frodo . </Li> <Li> John Rhys - Davies as Gimli : a dwarf warrior who accompanies the Fellowship to Mordor after they set out from Rivendell and a descendant of Durin 's Folk . Billy Connolly , who was considered for the part of Gimli , later portrayed Dáin II Ironfoot in Peter Jackson 's The Hobbit film trilogy . Rhys - Davies wore heavy prosthetics to play Gimli , which limited his vision , and eventually developed eczema around his eyes . </Li> <Li> Orlando Bloom as Legolas Greenleaf : a prince of the elves ' Woodland Realm and a skilled archer . Bloom initially auditioned for Faramir , who appears in the second film , a role which went to David Wenham . </Li> <Li> Sean Bean as Boromir : a prince of the Stewards of Gondor who journeys with the Fellowship towards Mordor . Bruce Willis , a fan of the book , expressed interest in the role , while Liam Neeson was sent the script , but passed . </Li> <Li> Ian Holm as Bilbo Baggins : Frodo 's uncle who gives him the Ring after he decides to retire to Rivendell . Holm previously played Frodo in a 1981 radio adaption of The Lord of the Rings , and was cast as Bilbo after Jackson remembered his performance .
