.380 ACP
While . 380 ACP was considered to be a moderately powerful service pistol round before World War II when compared to the . 32 ACP pistols it replaced , no nation retained it as a military service cartridge for very long after the war ( when it was largely replaced by its more powerful 9 × 19mm Parabellum cousin ) . It was widely used by police forces in Europe until at least the 1980s when more powerful 9 × 19mm handguns began to replace it in this market as well . It does find some use as a backup gun due to the generally small and easily concealable size of the weapons that chambered it ( very few `` mini pistols '' are made in calibers larger than . 380 ACP , and those few that are , are recent developments ) , and is popular on the civilian market as a personal defense round . The . 380 ACP round is suitable for self - defense situations as a choice for concealed carry pistols . It was the round used in Defense Distributed 's `` Wiki Weapon '' project to successfully 3D print a firearm .

American popular music
Alternative rock is a diverse grouping of rock bands that in America developed largely from the hardcore scene in the 1980s in stark opposition to the mainstream music scene . Alternative rock subgenres that developed during the decade include indie rock , Gothic rock , noise rock , grunge , and college rock . Most alternative bands were unified by their collective debt to punk , which laid the groundwork for underground and alternative music in the 1970s . Though the genre is considered to be rock , some styles were influenced by American folk , reggae and jazz . Like punk and hardcore , alternative rock had little mainstream success in America in the 1980s , but via the grassroots establishment of an indie scene through touring , college radio , fanzines , and word - of - mouth , alternative bands laid the groundwork for the breakthrough of the genre in the American public consciousness in the next decade .
United States
The short form `` United States '' is also standard . Other common forms are the `` U.S. '' , the `` USA '' , and `` America '' . Colloquial names are the `` U.S. of A . '' and , internationally , the `` States '' . `` Columbia '' , a name popular in poetry and songs of the late 18th century , derives its origin from Christopher Columbus ; it appears in the name `` District of Columbia '' .
American popular music
Punk was a kind of rebellious rock music that began in the 1970s as a reaction against the popular music of the day - especially disco , which was seen as insipid and uninspired . Punk drew on American bands including the Velvet Underground , The Stooges and the New York Dolls . Punk was loud , aggressive and usually very simple , requiring little musical training to play . Later in the decade , British bands like the Sex Pistols and The Clash found short - lived fame at home and , to a lesser degree , in the United States . American bands in the field included most famously The Ramones , as well as groups like the Talking Heads that played a more artsy kind of music that was closely associated with punk before eventually evolving into pop - new wave . Other major acts include Blondie , Patti Smith and Television . Most of these bands got their start at what is considered `` ground zero '' of punk rock , a club named CBGB . The small club in New York threw a festival in 1975 that showed off the `` top 40 unrecorded rock bands '' . Among these bands were the previously mentioned The Ramones , Sex Pistols , Blondie and the like .

On February 27 , 2010 , an announced attendance of 34,616 came to see the Orange beat the Villanova Wildcats 95 - 77 . University officials briefly considered moving the basketball court to the middle of the football field for the 2014 regular season game with Duke - a move that could have pushed the attendance over 50,000 . It was decided , to appease season ticket holders , that the court would stay in its usual location . However , the university did reconfigure the Dome to hold a new record capacity of 35,446 .

Swadeshi movement
Bengal had to supplement the supply from Bombay mills by the coarse production of handlooms . The weaving industry in Bengal was a very flourishing one till the British ruined it after they had established their rule over the province in the 18th century . The economic boycott movement seemed to be a suitable opportunity for reviving that industry . The clothes produced were very coarse but were accepted by the Bengalis in the true spirit of the Swadeshi Movement . A song which became very popular all over the country urged upon the people to give the place of honour to the coarse cloth which is the gift of the Mother , too poor to offer a better one .

Red fox
The earliest historical records of fox hunting come from the fourth century BC ; Alexander the Great is known to have hunted foxes and a seal dated from 350 BC depicts a Persian horseman in the process of spearing a fox . Xenophon , who viewed hunting as part of a cultured man 's education , advocated the killing of foxes as pests , as they distracted hounds from hares . The Romans were hunting foxes by 80 AD . During the Dark Ages in Europe , foxes were considered secondary quarries , but gradually grew in importance . Cnut the Great reclassed foxes as Beasts of the Chase , a lower category of quarry than Beasts of Venery . Foxes were gradually hunted less as vermin and more as Beasts of the Chase , to the point that by the late 1200s , Edward I had a royal pack of foxhounds and a specialised fox huntsman . In this period , foxes were increasingly hunted above ground with hounds , rather than underground with terriers . Edward , Second Duke of York assisted the climb of foxes as more prestigious quarries in his The Master of Game . By the Renaissance , fox hunting became a traditional sport of the nobility . After the English Civil War caused a drop in deer populations , fox hunting grew in popularity . By the mid-1600s , Britain was divided into fox hunting territories , with the first fox hunting clubs being formed ( the first was the Charlton Hunt Club in 1737 ) . The popularity of fox hunting in Britain reached a peak during the 1700s . Although already native to North America , red foxes from England were imported for sporting purposes to Virginia and Maryland in 1730 by prosperous tobacco planters . These American fox hunters considered the red species more sporting than grey species .
Japanese cuisine
Japan has a long history of importing food from other countries , some of which are now part of Japan 's most popular cuisine . Ramen is considered an important part to their culinary history , to the extent where in survey of 2,000 Tokyo residents , instant ramen came up many times as a product they thought was an outstanding Japanese invention . Believed to have originated in China , Ramen became popular in Japan after the Second Sino - Japanese war ( 1937 - 1945 ) , when many Chinese students were displaced to Japan .
Medieval music
Finally , purely instrumental music also developed during this period , both in the context of a growing theatrical tradition and for court performances for the aristocracy .

Napoleon
In his later years he gained quite a bit of weight and had a complexion considered pale or sallow , something contemporaries took note of . Novelist Paul de Kock , who saw him in 1811 on the balcony of the Tuileries , called Napoleon `` yellow , obese , and bloated '' . A British captain who met him in 1815 stated `` I felt very much disappointed , as I believe everyone else did , in his appearance ... He is fat , rather what we call pot - bellied , and although his leg is well shaped , it is rather clumsy ... He is very sallow , with light grey eyes , and rather thin , greasy - looking brown hair , and altogether a very nasty , priestlike - looking fellow . ''
Human skin color
A preference for fair or lighter skin continues in some countries , including Latin American countries where whites form a minority . In Brazil , a dark - skinned person is more likely to experience discrimination . Many actors and actresses in Latin America have European features -- blond hair , blue eyes , and pale skin . A light - skinned person is considered more privileged and has a higher social status ; a person with light skin is considered more beautiful and lighter skin suggests that the person has more wealth . Skin color is such an obsession in some countries that specific words describe distinct skin tones - from ( for example ) `` jincha '' , Puerto Rican slang for `` glass of milk '' to `` morena '' , literally `` brown '' .
Written Chinese
The variation in vocabulary among dialects has also led to the informal use of `` dialectal characters '' , as well as standard characters that are nevertheless considered archaic by today 's standards . Cantonese is unique among non-Mandarin regional languages in having a written colloquial standard , used in Hong Kong and overseas , with a large number of unofficial characters for words particular to this language . Written colloquial Cantonese has become quite popular in online chat rooms and instant messaging , although for formal written communications Cantonese speakers still normally use Vernacular Chinese . To a lesser degree Hokkien is used in a similar way in Taiwan and elsewhere , although it lacks the level of standardization seen in Cantonese . However , the Ministry of Education of the Republic of China is currently releasing a standard character set for Hokkien , which is to be taught in schools and promoted amongst the general population .

Afrikaans
Despite the challenges of demotion and emigration that it faces in South Africa , the Afrikaans vernacular remains competitive , being popular in DSTV pay channels and several internet sites , while generating high newspaper and music CD sales . A resurgence in Afrikaans popular music since the late 1990s has invigorated the language , especially among a younger generation of South Africans . A recent trend is the increased availability of pre-school educational CDs and DVDs . Such media also prove popular with the extensive Afrikaans - speaking expatriate communities who seek to retain language proficiency in a household context .

These dispatches described the excitement in America in support of the capture , referred to previous dispatches in which Lyons had warned that Seward might provoke such an incident , and described the difficulty that the United States might have in acknowledging that Wilkes had erred . Lyons also recommended a show of force including sending reinforcements to Canada . Palmerston indicated to Lord Russell that it was very possible that the entire incident had been a `` deliberate and premeditated insult '' designed by Seward to `` provoke '' a confrontation with Britain .
