Lord & Taylor
In 1945 , Dorothy Shaver became the first woman to head a major retail establishment in the United States as president of Lord & Taylor . As vice president working with the well - known design firm of Raymond Loewy Associates , she opened what is credited as the first ever branch store , in Manhasset , New York . Unlike earlier forays into the suburbs that consisted of smaller boutique - style shops , this was a merchandising effort that became the model for modern suburban shopping . The store consisted of 66 individual shops . Lord & Taylor 's relationship with Raymond Loewy Associates continued until 1969 , following the construction of the Stamford , Connecticut , store ( designed by Loewy Vice President Andrew Geller ) . Many of Lord & Taylor 's special services , including personal shoppers , were introduced while Shaver presided . Lord
Recycling
The Recyclate Quality Action Plan of Scotland sets out a number of proposed actions that the Scottish Government would like to take forward in order to drive up the quality of the materials being collected for recycling and sorted at materials recovery facilities before being exported or sold on to the reprocessing market .
Angel of the Lord
In Baker 's Evangelical Dictionary of Biblical Theology , Louis Goldberg writes : `` In the New Testament , there is no mention of the angel of the Lord ; the Messiah himself is this person . '' Knofel Staton , however , writes that `` the idea that this angel was Christ is unlikely for many reasons , which include the following : 1 ) God never said to any angel ( including the ' angel of the Lord ' ) ' you are my son ' ( Heb 1 : 5 ) ... '' ; and Ben Witherington says : `` The angel of the Lord is just that - an angel ... the divine son of God ... was no mere angel of the Lord , nor did he manifest himself in some observable form prior to the Incarnation . ''
John Steinbeck
The day after Steinbeck 's death in New York City , reviewer Charles Poore wrote in the New York Times : `` John Steinbeck 's first great book was his last great book . But Good Lord , what a book that was and is : The Grapes of Wrath . '' Poore noted a `` preachiness '' in Steinbeck 's work , `` as if half his literary inheritance came from the best of Mark Twain -- and the other half from the worst of Cotton Mather . '' But he asserted that `` Steinbeck did n't need the Nobel Prize -- the Nobel judges needed him . ''
Under the Dome (TV series)
The Kinship is an alien species that can take over any living person and control its actions . Another species had sought to take over The Kinship 's world , during an event known as `` The Great Destruction '' . To survive , The Kinship abandoned their own world , hoping to live on another life - supporting planet . They used an egg inside a meteor to transport themselves across the galaxy , hoping the meteor would crash on another inhabited planet .
Traditionalist Catholicism
Traditionalists ' claims that substantive changes have taken place in Catholic teaching and practice since the Council often crystallise around the following specific alleged examples , in which others see not what Pope Benedict XVI called `` discontinuity and rupture '' , but what he called `` renewal in the continuity of the one subject - Church which the Lord has given to us '' :
Aragorn
Aragorn was voiced by John Hurt in Ralph Bakshi 's 1978 animated film version of The Lord of the Rings . Bakshi 's Aragorn , unlike all other portrayals that were to follow to date , has no beard . This actually conforms to a statement appearing in Unfinished Tales that implicitly says that Aragorn was not supposed to have one , due to his Elvish ancestry ( Elves did not grow beards ) . However , Tolkien actually wrote elsewhere that Elves did have beards ; in The Lord of the Rings itself Círdan is described as having a beard . Also , some viewers and critics have said that this version of Aragorn looks Native American .
French and Indian War
The new British command was not in place until July . Abercrombie arrived in Albany but refused to take any significant actions until Loudoun approved them , and Montcalm took bold action against his inertia . He built on Vaudreuil 's work harassing the Oswego garrison and executed a strategic feint by moving his headquarters to Ticonderoga , as if to presage another attack along Lake George . With Abercrombie pinned down at Albany , Montcalm slipped away and led the successful attack on Oswego in August . In the aftermath , Montcalm and the Indians under his command disagreed about the disposition of prisoners ' personal effects . The Europeans did not consider them prizes and prevented the Indians from stripping the prisoners of their valuables , which angered the Indians . Montcalm
An-Nasr
So it is possible that the Messenger , having witnessed his Lord 's sign , realized that he had fulfilled his mission on this earth and that it was time for him to leave , which was what Ibn ' Abbas actually meant .
Sadness
In The Lord of the Rings , sadness is distinguished from unhappiness , to exemplify J.R.R. Tolkien 's preference for a sad , but settled determination , as opposed to what he saw as the shallower temptations of either despair or hope .
The Birthday Party (film)
A man in his late 30s named Stanley is staying at a seaside boarding house , when he is visited by two menacing and mysterious strangers , Goldberg and McCann . Stanley 's neighbour , Lulu , brings him a parcel , which contains a boy 's toy drum , presented to Stanley as his `` birthday present . '' Goldberg and McCann offer to host Stanley 's birthday party after his landlady , Meg , tells them that it is Stanley 's birthday , although Stanley protests that it is really not his birthday . Through the course of the party , the actions of Goldberg and McCann eventually break down Stanley , and they take him away from the house , purportedly to get medical attention ( from `` Monty '' ) in their car . Meg 's husband Petey ( who did not attend the party because he was out playing chess ) calls after Stanley : `` Stan , do n't let them tell you what to do '' . Meg , still somewhat hung over , is unaware that Stanley has been taken away , since Petey has not told her , and she tells him that she was `` the belle of the ball . ''
Runaways (TV series)
Loeb confirmed in July 2017 that the series would be set in the MCU , but that the show 's characters would not be concerned with the actions of the Avengers , for example , saying , `` Would you be following Iron Man ( on social media ) or would you be following someone your own age ? The fact that they 've found each other and they 're going through this mystery together at the moment is what we 're concerned about , not what Captain America is doing . '' The showrunners considered the series ' connection to the MCU to be `` liberating '' , as it allowed them to set the series in a universe where superheroics and fantasy are already established and do not need to be explained to the audience . However , the series does not draw attention to `` the idea that maybe other people have powers too '' . Schwartz said , `` You could read it as because they live in California , and ( The Avengers ) took place in New York , or because it did n't take place in our world . Marvel 's position is everything is connected , but our show is trying to walk that line where the reality our kids are facing , they are facing for the first time . '' He also said they `` were very capable of telling the story that we wanted to tell independent of any of the other Marvel stories that are out there . ''
House of Lords
The number of Lords of Appeal in Ordinary ( excluding those who were no longer able to hear cases because of age restrictions ) was limited to twelve , but could be changed by statutory instrument . By a convention of the House , Lords of Appeal in Ordinary did not take part in debates on new legislation , so as to maintain judicial independence . Lords of Appeal in Ordinary held their seats in the House of Lords for life , remaining as members even after reaching the judicial retirement age of 70 or 75 . Former Lord Chancellors and holders of other high judicial office could also sit as Law Lords under the Appellate Jurisdiction Act , although in practice this right was only rarely exercised .
Salve Regina
Let us pray : O God , whose Only Begotten Son , by his life , Death , and Resurrection , has purchased for us the rewards of eternal life , grant , we beseech thee , that while meditating on these mysteries of the most holy Rosary of the Blessed Virgin Mary , we may imitate what they contain and obtain what they promise , through the same Christ our Lord .
Elgin Marbles
Lord Elgin decided to carry out the work himself , and employed artists to take casts and drawings under the supervision of the Neapolitan court painter , Giovani Lusieri . According to a Turkish local , marble sculptures that fell were being burned to obtain lime for building . Although his original intention was only to document the sculptures , in 1801 Lord Elgin began to remove material from the Parthenon and its surrounding structures under the supervision of Lusieri . Pieces were also removed from the Acropolis , the Erechtheion , the Propylaia , and the Temple of Athena Nike .

The Remains of the Day (film)
Lord Darlington 's godson , journalist Reginald Cardinal , was appalled by the nature of the secret meetings in Darlington Hall ; concurring with Congressman Lewis ' earlier protestations , Cardinal told Stevens that Lord Darlington was a pawn , being used by the Nazis . Despite Cardinal 's indignation , Stevens did not denounce or criticise his master . Later , Lord Darlington expressed regret for having dismissed Ilsa and Irma , the two German - Jewish maids . He asked Stevens to locate them and Stevens enquired Miss Kenton as to the maids ' whereabouts . ( It is revealed the sisters were returned to Germany ; their ultimate fate is unknown . )

From 1999 to 2010 the Attorney General for England and Wales was a Member of the House of Lords ; the most recent was Baroness Scotland of Asthal .
Aragorn
Aragorn 's character and story arc underwent a series of developments and name changes before the version seen in The Lord of the Rings , as Tolkien did not have the full plot of the story or its background planned out when he started writing .
The Lord of the Rings (film series)
In 1995 , Jackson was finishing The Frighteners and considered The Lord of the Rings as a new project , wondering `` why nobody else seemed to be doing anything about it '' . With the new developments in computer - generated imagery following Jurassic Park , Jackson set about planning a fantasy film that would be relatively serious and feel real . By October , he and his partner Fran Walsh teamed up with Miramax Films boss Harvey Weinstein to negotiate with Saul Zaentz who had held the rights to the book since the early 1970s , pitching an adaptation of The Hobbit and two films based on The Lord of the Rings . Negotiations then stalled when Universal Studios offered Jackson a remake of King Kong . Weinstein was furious , and further problems arose when it turned out Zaentz did not have distribution rights to The Hobbit ; United Artists , which was in the market , did . By April 1996 , the rights question was still not resolved .
Lord of the Flies (1990 film)
Some have claimed that the novel in general is somewhat dated and unsuitable for a remake . Roger Ebert remarked in his review that `` events take place every day on our mean streets that are more horrifying than anything the little monsters do to one another on Golding 's island . ''
Athenian democracy
The institutions sketched above -- assembly , officeholders , council , courts -- are incomplete without the figure that drove the whole system , Ho boulomenos , he who wishes , or anyone who wishes . This expression encapsulated the right of citizens to take the initiative : to stand to speak in the assembly , to initiate a public lawsuit ( that is , one held to affect the political community as a whole ) , to propose a law before the lawmakers or to approach the council with suggestions . Unlike officeholders , the citizen initiator was not voted before taking up office or automatically reviewed after stepping down -- it had after all no set tenure and might be an action lasting only a moment . But any stepping forward into the democratic limelight was risky and if someone chose ( another citizen initiator ) they could be called to account for their actions and punished . There were also other terms used for `` the persons who pleaded in public actions and those who had initiated private suits . Although the expression ho diokon ( literally ' the one who pursues ' ) was applied to the initiators of both public and private actions , the designations kategoros ( ' accuser ' ) ... were used only of prosecutors in public actions and in the actions for homicide heard by the Areiopagos and other homicide courts . ''
Sir Gawain and the Green Knight
In the bedroom scene , both the negative and positive actions of the Lady are motivated by her desire . Her feelings cause her to step out of the typical female role and into that of the male , thus becoming more empowered . At the same time , those same actions make the Lady appear adulterous ; some scholars compare her with Eve in the Bible . By forcing Gawain to take her girdle , i.e. the apple , the pact made with Bertilak -- and therefore the Green Knight -- is broken . In this sense , it is clear that at the hands of the Lady , Gawain is a `` good man seduced '' .
Arthur Phillip
At this time , Lord Sandwich , together with the President of the Royal Society , Sir Joseph Banks , was advocating establishment of a British colony in New South Wales . A colony there would be of great assistance to the British Navy in facilitating attacks on the Spanish possessions in Chile and Peru , as Banks 's collaborators , James Matra , Captain Sir George Young and Sir John Call pointed out in written proposals on the subject . The British Government took the decision to settle what is now Australia and found the Botany Bay colony in mid-1786 . Lord Sydney , as Secretary of State for the Home Office , was the minister in charge , and in September 1786 he appointed Phillip commodore of the fleet which was to transport the convicts and soldiers who were to be the new settlers to Botany Bay . Upon arrival there , Phillip was to assume the powers of Captain General and Governor in Chief of the new colony . A subsidiary colony was to be founded on Norfolk Island , as recommended by Sir John Call , to take advantage for naval purposes of that island 's native flax and timber .
Lord of the Flies (1990 film)
As directed by Harry Hook , the new `` Lord of the Flies '' offers much spectacle for the eye and almost nothing to keep the mind from wandering . Mr. Hook and the cinematographer Martin Fuhrer may be able to work orange flames , turquoise ocean and lush tropical foliage into a single pretty ( if nonsensical ) frame . But they ca n't get a toehold onto what Mr. Golding called his `` attempt to trace the defects of society back to the defects of human nature . ''
Sinking of the RMS Titanic
Much nearer was SS Californian , which had warned Titanic of ice a few hours earlier . Apprehensive at his ship being caught in a large field of drift ice , Californian 's captain , Stanley Lord , had decided at about 22 : 00 to halt for the night and wait for daylight to find a way through the ice field . At 23 : 30 , 10 minutes before Titanic hit the iceberg , Californian 's sole radio operator , Cyril Evans , shut his set down for the night and went to bed . On the bridge her Third Officer , Charles Groves , saw a large vessel to starboard around 10 to 12 mi ( 16 to 19 km ) away . It made a sudden turn to port and stopped . If the radio operator of Californian had stayed at his post fifteen minutes longer , hundreds of lives might have been saved . A little over an hour later , Second Officer Herbert Stone saw five white rockets exploding above the stopped ship . Unsure what the rockets meant , he called Captain Lord , who was resting in the chartroom , and reported the sighting . Lord did not act on the report , but Stone was perturbed : `` A ship is not going to fire rockets at sea for nothing , '' he told a colleague . Distress
Emancipation Proclamation
The Proclamation applied in the ten states that were still in rebellion in 1863 , and thus did not cover the nearly 500,000 slaves in the slave - holding border states ( Missouri , Kentucky , Maryland or Delaware ) which were Union states . Those slaves were freed by later separate state and federal actions .
Computer mouse
The relative movements of the mouse on the surface are applied to the position of the pointer on the screen , which signals the point where actions of the user take place , so hand movements are replicated by the pointer . Clicking or hovering ( stopping movement while the cursor is within the bounds of an area ) can select files , programs or actions from a list of names , or ( in graphical interfaces ) through small images called `` icons '' and other elements . For example , a text file might be represented by a picture of a paper notebook and clicking while the cursor hovers this icon might cause a text editing program to open the file in a window .
Elgin Marbles
In November 1798 the Earl of Elgin was appointed as `` Ambassador Extraordinary and Minister Plenipotentiary of His Britannic Majesty to the Sublime Porte of Selim III , Sultan of Turkey '' ( Greece was then part of the Ottoman Empire ) . Before his departure to take up the post he had approached officials of the British government to inquire if they would be interested in employing artists to take casts and drawings of the sculptured portions of the Parthenon . According to Lord Elgin , `` the answer of the Government ... was entirely negative . ''
Spanish conquest of the Aztec Empire
A fragment of the greetings of Moctezuma says : `` My lord , you have become fatigued , you have become tired : to the land you have arrived . You have come to your city : Mexico , here you have come to sit on your place , on your throne . Oh , it has been reserved to you for a small time , it was conserved by those who have gone , your substitutes ... This is what has been told by our rulers , those of whom governed this city , ruled this city . That you would come to ask for your throne , your place , that you would come here . Come to the land , come and rest : take possession of your royal houses , give food to your body . ''
History of United States prison systems
Rationalists differed as to what environmental factors gave rise to criminality . Some rationalists , including Cesare Beccaria , blamed criminality on the uncertainty criminal punishment , whereas earlier criminologists had linked criminal deterrence to the severity of punishment . In essence , Beccaria believed that where arrest , conviction , and sentencing for crime were `` rapid and infallible , '' punishments for crime could remain moderate . Beccaria did not take issue with the substance of contemporary penal codes -- e.g. , whipping and the pillory ; rather , he took issue with their form and implementation . Jeremy
History of Puerto Rico
During the time when sugar was not going well the coffee in the late 1800s . What changed the coffee production started when the export production replaced the farming . People lost their land and properties , the amount of land disposal shrank and the people hoped that Europe would take part in the trade of coffee , but they did not . Coffee makers were not happy with them being controlled by the United States . In 1933 most of the people worked as families instead of individuals most likely due to 90 percent of the output due to them being poor .
The Remains of the Day (film)
Meanwhile , Darlington Hall was regularly frequented by politicians of the interwar period , and many of Lord Darlington 's guests were like - minded , fascist - sympathizing British and European aristocrats , with the exception of the more pragmatic Congressman Lewis , who did not share the `` noble instincts '' of Lord Darlington and his guests . Lewis informed the `` gentleman politicians '' in his midst that `` Europe has become the arena of Realpolitik '' and warned them they were `` headed for disaster . ''
Trent Affair
But as the matter was given closer study , people began to have doubts . Secretary of the Navy Gideon Welles reflected the ambiguity that many felt when he wrote to Wilkes of `` the emphatic approval '' of the Navy Department for his actions while cautioning him that the failure to take the Trent to a prize court `` must by no means be permitted to constitute a precedent hereafter for the treatment of any case of similar infraction of neutral obligations . '' On November 24 , the New York Times claimed to find no actual on point precedent . Thurlow Weed 's Albany Evening Journal suggested that , if Wilkes had `` exercised an unwarranted discretion , our government will properly disavow the proceedings and grant England ' every satisfaction ' consistent with honor and justice . '' It did not take long for others to comment that the capture of Mason and Slidell very much resembled the search and impressment practices that the United States had always opposed since its founding and which had previously led to the War of 1812 with Britain . The idea of humans as contraband failed to strike a resonant chord with many .
GEICO advertising campaigns
From late 2014 to 2017 , a family of commercials featured people doing irrelevant or weird actions , while in the end the long - time endboard narrator says , `` If ( you 're ) ( ... ) , you ( ... ) . It 's what you do . If you want to save 15 % or more on car insurance , you switch to GEICO . It 's what you do . '' When the ads appear in a movie theater before the previews start , the second line would be replaced with , `` If you 're in the movie theater , you silence your cell phone . It 's what you do . ''
Justify (horse)
D. Wayne Lukas , the trainer of Bravazo , said that `` ( it ) was strange the way they sent ( Restoring Hope ) up there . I mean , he compromised a few horses with blocking and so forth , '' though he did not think that Restoring Hope 's actions affected the outcome of the race .
Chartism
Candidates embracing Chartism also stood on numerous occasions in general elections . There were concerted campaigns in the election of 1841 and election of 1847 , when O'Connor was elected for Nottingham . Feargus became the only Chartist to be elected an MP ; it was a remarkable victory for the movement . More commonly , Chartist candidates participated in the open meetings , called hustings , that were the first stage of an election . They frequently won the show of hands at the hustings , but then withdrew from the poll to expose the deeply undemocratic nature of the electoral system . This is what Harney did in a widely reported challenge against Lord Palmerston in Tiverton , Devon in 1847 . The last Chartist challenge at a parliamentary poll took place at Ripon in 1859 .
Mental calculation
Many of these techniques take advantage of or rely on the decimal numeral system . Usually , the choice of radix is what determines which method or methods to use .
