Judge Judy
That same day in December 2007 , the show 's former associate producer Karen Needle was also fired . She later sued Douthit , claiming that she was wrongfully terminated because she was too old , 64 at the time . Sheindlin was not named as a defendant . Needle , who helped book audiences for the program , stated the reason she was given for being fired was `` unspecified conflict from her audience work . '' Needle said she began suffering from back pain , sometimes even resorting to lying on the ground in pain , and when she asked her bosses for a new chair , nothing was done . According to the complaint , two weeks before Needle was fired , she took off four days to assist her ailing 88 - year - old mother . Needle stated , `` There is a lot of terrible stuff going on if two people file separate lawsuits . It 's a toxic situation over there . This is supposed to be Judge Judy , the voice of justice , and yet her own staff is n't treated well . What is she getting paid all that money for if her own staff is treated with such little decency ? ''

Our Gang
Roach 's distributor Pathé released One Terrible Day , the fourth short produced for the series , as the first Our Gang short on September 10 , 1922 ; the pilot Our Gang was not released until November 5 . The Our Gang series was a success from the start , with the children 's naturalism , the funny animal actors , and McGowan 's direction making a successful combination . The shorts did well at the box office , and by the end of the decade the Our Gang children were pictured on numerous product endorsements .
Battles of Saratoga
Once news of Burgoyne 's surrender reached France , King Louis XVI decided to enter into negotiations with the Americans that resulted in a formal Franco - American alliance and French entry into the war . This moved the conflict onto a global stage . As a consequence , Britain was forced to divert resources used to fight the war in North America to theaters in the West Indies and Europe , and rely on what turned out to be the chimera of Loyalist support in its North American operations . Being defeated by the British in the French and Indian War more than a decade earlier , France found an opportunity of revenge by aiding the colonists throughout the Revolutionary War . Prior to the Battle of Saratoga , France did n't fully aid the colonists . However , after the Battles of Saratoga were conclusively won by the colonists , France realized that the Americans had the hope of winning the war , and began fully aiding the colonists by sending soldiers , donations , loans , military arms , and supplies .
The Strain (TV series)

What his team discovers is a viral outbreak that has similarities to an ancient strain of vampirism . The virus begins to spread and Goodweather works with his team and a group of the city 's residents to wage a war to save humanity .
Indian Rebellion of 1857
The scale of the punishments handed out by the British `` Army of Retribution '' were considered largely appropriate and justified in a Britain shocked by embellished reports of atrocities carried out against British and European civilians by the rebels . Accounts of the time frequently reach the `` hyperbolic register '' , according to Christopher Herbert , especially in the often - repeated claim that the `` Red Year '' of 1857 marked `` a terrible break '' in British experience . Such was the atmosphere -- a national `` mood of retribution and despair '' that led to `` almost universal approval '' of the measures taken to pacify the revolt .
Containment
Key State Department personnel grew increasingly frustrated with and suspicious of the Soviets as the war drew to a close . Averell Harriman , U.S. Ambassador in Moscow , once a `` confirmed optimist '' regarding U.S. - Soviet relations , was disillusioned by what he saw as the Soviet betrayal of the 1944 Warsaw Uprising as well as by violations of the February 1945 Yalta Agreement concerning Poland . Harriman would later have a significant influence in forming Truman 's views on the Soviet Union .
Appeasement
Czechoslovakia had a modern , well - prepared military and Hitler , on entering Prague , conceded that a war would have cost Germany much blood . But the decision by France and Great Britain not to defend Czechoslovakia in the event of war ( and the exclusion from the equation of the Soviet Union , whom Chamberlain distrusted ) meant that the outcome would have been uncertain . This event forms the main part of what became known as Munich betrayal ( Czech : Mnichovská zrada ) in Czechoslovakia and the rest of Eastern Europe , as the Czech view was that Britain and France pressured them to cede territory in order to prevent a major war that would involve the West . The Western view is that they were pressured in order to save Czechoslovakia from total annihilation .
History of Germany (1945–90)
In regards to the memory of the Nazi period in the 1950s Federal Republic , there was a marked tendency to argue that everyone regardless of what side they had been on in World War II were all equally victims of the war . In the same way , the Nazi regime tended to be portrayed in the 1950s as a small clique of criminals entirely unrepresentative of German society who were sharply demarcated from the rest of German society or as the German historian Alf Ludtke argued in popular memory that it was a case of `` us '' ( i.e ordinary people ) ruled over by `` them '' ( i.e. the Nazis ) . Though the Nazi regime itself was rarely glorified in popular memory , in the 1950s World War II and the Wehrmacht were intensely gloried and celebrated by the public . In countless memoirs , novels , histories , newspaper articles , films , magazines , and Landserheft ( a type of comic book in Germany glorifying war ) , the Wehrmacht was celebrated as an awesome , heroic fighting force that had fought a `` clean war '' unlike the SS and which would have won the war as the Wehrmacht was always portrayed as superior to the Allied forces had not been for mistakes on the part of Hitler or workings of `` fate '' . The Second World War was usually portrayed in heavily romantic aura in various works that celebrated the comradeship and heroism of ordinary soldiers under danger with the war itself being shown as `` ... a great adventure for idealists and daredevils ... '' who for the most part had a thoroughly fun time . The tendency in the 1950s to glorify war by depicting World War II as a fun - filled , grand adventure for the men who served in Hitler 's war machine meant the horrors and hardship of the war were often downplayed . In his 2004 essay `` Celluloid Soldiers '' about post-war German films , the Israeli historian Omer Bartov wrote that German films of the 1950s always showed the average German soldier as a heroic victim : noble , tough , brave , honourable and patriotic , while fighting hard in a senseless war for a regime that he did not care for .

And at last , their mother comes back with the car . She then scolds Alexander for being muddy and fighting Nick .
American Civil War
While one or more of these interpretations remain popular among the Sons of Confederate Veterans and other Southern heritage groups , few professional historians now subscribe to them . Of all these interpretations , the states ' - rights argument is perhaps the weakest . It fails to ask the question , states ' rights for what purpose ? States ' rights , or sovereignty , was always more a means than an end , an instrument to achieve a certain goal more than a principle .
Great Lakes
In June 2008 , deep sea divers in Lake Ontario found the wreck of the 1780 Royal Navy warship HMS Ontario in what has been described as an `` archaeological miracle '' . There are no plans to raise her as the site is being treated as a war grave .
Indian rupee
At the onset of the First World War , the cost of gold was very low and therefore the pound sterling had high value . But during the First World War , the value of the pound fell alarmingly due to rising war expenses . At the conclusion of the war , the value of the pound was only a fraction of what it used to be prior to the commencement of the war . It remained low until 1925 , when the then Chancellor of the Exchequer ( finance minister ) of the United Kingdom , Winston Churchill , restored it to pre-War levels . As a result , the price of gold fell rapidly . While the rest of Europe purchased large quantities of gold from the United Kingdom , there was little increase in her gold reserves . This dealt a blow to an already deteriorating British economy . The United Kingdom began to look to its possessions as India to compensate for the gold that was sold .
Cold War
`` Orthodox '' accounts place responsibility for the Cold War on the Soviet Union and its expansion further into Europe . `` Revisionist '' writers place more responsibility for the breakdown of post-war peace on the United States , citing a range of US efforts to isolate and confront the Soviet Union well before the end of World War II . `` Post-revisionists '' see the events of the Cold War as more nuanced , and attempt to be more balanced in determining what occurred during the Cold War . Much of the historiography on the Cold War weaves together two or even all three of these broad categories .
G20
The G20 is the latest in a series of post -- World War II initiatives aimed at international coordination of economic policy , which include institutions such as the `` Bretton Woods twins '' , the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank , and what is now the World Trade Organization .
Great Britain in the Seven Years' War
On 20 June 1756 the Nawab 's troops stormed Fort William capturing the city . A number of the British civilians and prisoners of war were locked in the small guard room in what became known as the Black Hole of Calcutta . After the death of many of them , the atrocity became a popular rallying call for revenge . A force from Madras under the command of Lieutenant Colonel Robert Clive arrived and liberated the city , driving out the Nawab 's troops . The Third Carnatic War that followed saw Britain ranged against the Nawab and France . Clive consolidated his position in Calcutta , and made contact with one of the Nawab 's chief advisors Mir Jafar attempting to persuade him and other leading Bengalis to overthrow the Nawab . After the British ambushed a column of the Nawab 's troops which was approaching Calcutta on 2 February 1757 , the two sides agreed the Treaty of Alinagar which brought a temporary truce to Bengal .
Love Actually
With the help of his longtime manager Joe ( Gregor Fisher ) , rock and roll legend Billy Mack ( Bill Nighy ) records a Christmas variation of The Troggs ' `` Love Is All Around '' . Although he thinks the record is terrible , Mack promotes the release in the hope it will become the Christmas number one single ; it does and after briefly celebrating his victory at a party hosted by Sir Elton John , Billy discerns that Joe is in need of affection and suggests that he and Joe celebrate Christmas by getting drunk and watching porn .
Cinderella
Another well - known version was recorded by the German brothers Jacob and Wilhelm Grimm in the 19th century . The tale is called `` Aschenputtel '' ( `` Cinderella '' in English translations ) . This version is much more intense than that of Perrault and Disney , in that Cinderella 's father did not die and the stepsisters mutilate their feet to fit in the golden slipper . There is no fairy godmother , but rather help comes from a wishing tree that the heroine planted on her mother 's grave . The stepsisters suffer a terrible punishment for their cruelty .
Hades
He strictly forbade his subjects to leave his domain and would become quite enraged when anyone tried to leave , or if someone tried to steal the souls from his realm . His wrath was equally terrible for anyone who tried to cheat death or otherwise crossed him , as Sisyphus and Pirithous found out to their sorrow . While usually indifferent to his subjects , Hades was very focused on the punishment of these two people ; particularly Pirithous , as he entered the underworld in an attempt to steal Persephone for himself , and consequently was forced onto the `` Chair of Forgetfulness '' . Another myth is about the Roman god Asclepius who was originally a demigod , fathered by Apollo and birthed by Coronis , a Thessalian princess . During his lifetime , he became a famous and talented physician , who eventually was able to bring the dead back to life . Feeling cheated , Plouton persuaded Zeus to kill him with a thunderbolt . After his death , he was brought to Olympus where he became a god . Hades was only depicted outside of the Underworld once in myth , and even that is believed to have been an instance where he had just left the gates of the Underworld , which was when Heracles shot him with an arrow as Hades was attempting to defend the city of Plyus . After he was shot , however , he traveled to Olympus to heal . Besides Heracles , the only other living people who ventured to the Underworld were also heroes : Odysseus , Aeneas ( accompanied by the Sibyl ) , Orpheus , who Hades showed uncharacteristic mercy towards at Persephone 's persuasion , who was moved by Orpheus ' music , Theseus with Pirithous , and , in a late romance , Psyche . None of them were pleased with what they witnessed in the realm of the dead . In particular , the Greek war hero Achilles , whom Odysseus conjured with a blood libation , said :
Lithuania
After the Russo - Turkish War ( 1877 -- 1878 ) , when German diplomats assigned what were seen as Russian spoils of war to Turkey , the relationship between Russia and the German Empire became complicated . The Russian Empire resumed the construction of fortresses at its western borders for defence against a potential invasion from Germany in the West . On 7 July 1879 the Russian Emperor Alexander II approved of a proposal from the Russian military leadership to build the largest `` first - class '' defensive structure in the entire state -- the 65 km ( 25 sq mi ) Kaunas Fortress . Large numbers of Lithuanians went to the United States in 1867 -- 1868 after a famine . A Lithuanian National Revival laid the foundations of the modern Lithuanian nation and independent Lithuania .
War Eagle
According to a 1998 article in the Auburn Plainsman , the most likely origin of the `` War Eagle '' cry grew from a 1913 pep rally at Langdon Hall , where students had gathered the day before the annual football game against the University of Georgia . Cheerleader Gus Graydon told the crowd , `` If we are going to win this game , we 'll have to get out there and fight , because this means war . '' During the frenzy , another student , E.T. Enslen , dressed in his military uniform , noticed something had dropped from his hat . Bending down , he saw it was the metal emblem of an eagle that had come loose during his wild cheering . Someone asked him what he had found , and Enslen loudly replied , `` It 's a War Eagle ! '' The new cry was used by students at the game the following day .
Characters of God of War
During the creation of God of War , the game 's director David Jaffe attempted to create a version of Kratos that looked brutal but had a different appearance from what is considered to be the traditional Greek hero . The character 's traditional armor was removed to show the character 's individualism , and details such as hair and other `` flowing things '' were removed . Jaffe said of his final version of the character , that while `` ( Kratos ) may not totally feel at home in Ancient Greece from a costume standpoint , I think he achieves the greater purpose which is to give players a character who they can play who really does just let them go nuts and unleash the nasty fantasies that they have in their head . ''
Battle of Gettysburg
The results of this victory are priceless ... The charm of Robert E. Lee 's invincibility is broken . The Army of the Potomac has at last found a general that can handle it , and has stood nobly up to its terrible work in spite of its long disheartening list of hard - fought failures ... Copperheads are palsied and dumb for the moment at least ... Government is strengthened four-fold at home and abroad . --
The Twelve Days of Christmas (song)
By the 11th day , she , having run out of room - and patience - , calls a halt to the proceedings and speaks to Mr. Miggle , the general store proprieter , about taking them all off her hands . Christian rock band Relient K released a recording of the song on their 2007 album Let It Snow , Baby ... Let It Reindeer . This version known for its slightly satirical refrain : `` What 's a partridge ? What 's a pear tree ? I do n't know , so please do n't ask me . But I can bet those are terrible gifts to get . '' A program hosted by Tom Arnold , The 12 Days of Redneck Christmas , which takes a look at Christmas traditions , premiered on CMT in 2008 . The theme music is `` The Twelve Days of Christmas . '' Polkadot Cadaver did a satiric version of the song on their album From Bethlehem to Oblivion . Shannon Chan - Kent , as her character of Pinkie Pie from My Little Pony : Friendship Is Magic , sings her own version of the song on the album My Little Pony : It 's a Pony Kind of Christmas . Irish actor Frank Kelly recorded `` Christmas Countdown '' in 1982 in which a man named Gobnait O'Lunacy receives 12 different Christmas gifts from a lady named Nuala . As each gift is received , the man gets increasingly upset with the person who sent them . This version charted in both Ireland ( where it reached number 8 in 1982 ) and the UK ( entering the UK chart in December 1983 and reaching number 26 ) A special Creature Comforts orchestral arrangement of `` The Twelve Days of Christmas '' was made by British animator Nick Park and Aardman Animations . Featuring different animals discussing or trying to remember the lyrics of the song , it was released on Christmas Day 2005 . New Orleans band Benny Grunch and the Bunch perform a `` locals - humor take '' on the song , titled `` The Twelve Yats of Christmas . '' The carol is the main plot device in Ellery Queen 's , The Finishing Stroke .
Norwich Airport
The first Norwich Airport was set up on a former First World War aerodrome on Mousehold Heath under what is now the Heartsease housing estate . It opened in 1933 , and was used by Boulton & Paul for aircraft test flying and other recreational activities . This fell into disuse in the early part of the Second World War , and by the end of it had been too built upon to be used again .
American Revolutionary War
News of the campaign was well received in Britain . Festivities took place in London , public support reached a peak , and the King awarded the Order of the Bath to William Howe . The successes led to predictions that the British could win within a year . The American defeat revealed what one writer views as Washington 's strategic deficiencies , such as dividing a numerically weaker army in the face of a stronger one , his inexperienced staff misreading the situation , and his troops fleeing in disorder when fighting began . In the meantime , the British entered winter quarters and were in a good place to resume campaigning .
Israel
In July 2006 , a Hezbollah artillery assault on Israel 's northern border communities and a cross-border abduction of two Israeli soldiers precipitated the month - long Second Lebanon War . On 6 September 2007 , the Israeli Air Force destroyed a nuclear reactor in Syria . At the end of 2008 , Israel entered another conflict as a ceasefire between Hamas and Israel collapsed . The 2008 -- 09 Gaza War lasted three weeks and ended after Israel announced a unilateral ceasefire . Hamas announced its own ceasefire , with its own conditions of complete withdrawal and opening of border crossings . Despite neither the rocket launchings nor Israeli retaliatory strikes having completely stopped , the fragile ceasefire remained in order . In what Israel described as a response to more than a hundred Palestinian rocket attacks on southern Israeli cities , Israel began an operation in Gaza on 14 November 2012 , lasting eight days . Israel started another operation in Gaza following an escalation of rocket attacks by Hamas in July 2014 .
Phil Hartman
Hartman wrote a number of screenplays that were never produced . In 1986 he began writing a screenplay for a film titled Mr. Fix - It , and completed the final draft in 1991 . Robert Zemeckis was signed to produce the film , with Gil Bettman hired to direct . Hartman called it `` a sort of a merger of horror and comedy , like Beetlejuice and Throw Momma From the Train '' , adding , `` It 's an American nightmare about a family torn asunder . They live next to a toxic dump site , their water supply is poisoned , the mother and son go insane and try to murder each other , the father 's face is torn off in a terrible disfiguring accident in the first act . It 's heavy stuff , but it 's got a good message and a positive , upbeat ending . '' Zemeckis could not secure studio backing , however , and the project collapsed . Another movie idea involving Hartman 's Groundlings character Chick Hazard , Private Eye also fell through .
List of The League of Gentlemen characters
Edward , who claims to have served in the armed forces and had been in `` a war '' ( presumably Oman or the Falklands ) , has a distrust of outsiders and is likely to emerge from the back of the shop saying `` Hello , hello ? What 's going on ? What 's all this shouting ? We 'll have no trouble here ! '' ( regardless of whether or not any shouting is actually going on ) and challenge people with the question , `` Are you local ? '' , dismissing those who reply `` no '' with , `` This is a local shop , for local people ; there 's nothing for you here '' -- one of the show 's best - known catch phrases .
