Albatross (metaphor)
In the fantasy MMORPG RuneScape , This Albatross , known formerly as The Scourge , is the flagship of the infamous pirate lord Rabid Jack . Jack used the ship as his main offensive centre when he attacked Mos Le'Harmless in an effort to gain complete control over the Eastern Sea . When this failed , Jack renamed his ship `` This Albatross '' , which he said would be a curse upon pirates forever . Although the ship was likely destroyed after the latter Battle of Mos Le'Harmless , recent activity suggests the ship may have been revived along with its thought - dead ( now seemingly undead ) captain . In the 2013 video game BioShock Infinite , the vigor ( potion ) `` Undertow '' is advertised by the vigor dispenser machine with the words `` Ancient mariner , let the vigor Undertow disperse the hated albatross '' . In the 2010 video game , Alpha Protocol an intelligence agency named `` G22 '' is led by a man under the alias of Albatross , who has the habit of encountering you by chance and often , depending on the players actions , offers valuable information which serves to reinforce the name . In the 2004 video game Vampire : The Masquerade - Bloodlines , Camarilla Prince Sebastian Lacroix expresses to the player the burden of his position as Prince of L.A. and his worry over the consequences of calling a blood hunt upon Anarch leader - Nines Rodriguez - `` The folly of leadership is knowing that no matter what you do , behind your back , there 's hundreds certain that their own solution is the sounder one and that your decision was the by - product of a whimsical dart toss . I pronounce the blast sentence , and I soak the critical fallout . I make the decisions no - one else will . Leadership ... I wear the albatross and the bullseye . '' Unreal Tournament 2004 featured a map called `` DM - 1on1 - Albatross '' In the 1981 video game Ulysses and the Golden Fleece , an albatross drops a bag filled with golden gems onto a boat .
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows
Throughout the six previous novels in the series , the titular character Harry Potter has struggled with the difficulties of adolescence along with being famous as the only wizard to survive the Killing Curse . The curse was cast by the evil Tom Riddle , better known as Lord Voldemort , a powerful evil wizard , who had murdered Harry 's parents and attempted to kill Harry as a baby , in the belief this would frustrate a prophecy that Harry would become his equal . As an orphan , Harry was placed in the care of his Muggle ( non-magical ) relatives Petunia Dursley and Vernon Dursley .
Restoration (England)
The Commonwealth , which preceded the English Restoration , might have continued if Oliver Cromwell 's son Richard , who was made Lord Protector on his father 's death , had been capable of carrying on his father 's policies . Richard Cromwell 's main weakness was that he did not have the confidence of the army . After seven months , an army faction known as the Wallingford House party removed him on 6 May 1659 and reinstalled the Rump Parliament . Charles Fleetwood was appointed a member of the Committee of Safety and of the Council of State , and one of the seven commissioners for the army . On 9 June 1659 , he was nominated lord - general ( commander - in - chief ) of the army . However , his leadership was undermined in Parliament , which chose to disregard the army 's authority in a similar fashion to the post-First Civil War Parliament . A royalist uprising was planned for 1 August 1659 , but it was foiled . However , Sir George Booth gained control of Cheshire ; Charles II hoped that with Spanish support he could effect a landing , but none was forthcoming . Booth held Cheshire until the end of August when he was defeated by General Lambert . The Commons , on 12 October 1659 , cashiered General John Lambert and other officers , and installed Fleetwood as chief of a military council under the authority of the Speaker . The next day Lambert ordered that the doors of the House be shut and the members kept out . On 26 October a `` Committee of Safety '' was appointed , of which Fleetwood and Lambert were members . Lambert was appointed major - general of all the forces in England and Scotland , Fleetwood being general . The Committee of Safety sent Lambert with a large force to meet George Monck , who was in command of the English forces in Scotland , and either negotiate with him or force him to come to terms .
Aragorn
Another suggestion was that Trotter was Fosco Took ( Bilbo 's first cousin ) , who `` vanished when a lad , owing to Gandalf '' . This story was further elaborated , making Trotter a nephew of Bilbo , named Peregrin Boffin , and an elder cousin of Frodo . He was said to have run away after he came of age , some 20 years before Bilbo left the Shire , and had helped Gandalf in tracking Gollum later . A hint was also given as to why Trotter wore wooden shoes : he had been captured by the Dark Lord in Mordor and tortured , but saved by Gandalf ; a note was added by Tolkien in the margin , saying that it would later be revealed that Trotter had wooden feet .
National Convention
At last France saw a government take shape . Danton resigned from it on 10 July . Couthon , Saint - Just , Jeanbon Saint - Andre , and Prieur of the Marne formed a nucleus of resolute Montagnards who rallied Barrere and Lindet , then successfully added Robespierre on 27 July , Carnot and Prieur of Cote - d'Ore on 14 August , and Collot d'Herbois and Billaud - Varenne on 6 September . They had a few clear ideas to which they clung : to command , to fight , and to conquer . Their work in common , the danger , the taste of and pride in power created solidarity that made the Committee an autonomous organism .
Jenny Lind
Born in Klara , in central Stockholm , Lind was the illegitimate daughter of Niclas Jonas Lind ( 1798 -- 1858 ) , a bookkeeper , and Anne - Marie Fellborg ( 1793 -- 1856 ) , a schoolteacher . Lind 's mother had divorced her first husband for adultery but , for religious reasons , refused to remarry until after his death in 1834 . Lind 's parents married when she was 14 .
Cornwallis in India
Medows ' campaign in 1790 was a limited success . He occupied the Coimbatore district against minimal opposition , but a forceful counterattack by Tipu reduced the British holdings to Coimbatore itself and a few other outposts . Tipu had also descended to the coastal plain , where he plowed through the Carnatic and even met with the French at Pondicherry in a fruitless attempt to draw them into the conflict . By September 1790 the British allies were taking the field , but still did not want to face Tipu 's strong force without significant British support . Consequently , Cornwallis decided to personally take control of the main British force from Medows . In early February 1791 he began a campaign that was squarely targeted at Mysore 's capital , Seringapatam .
United States Declaration of Independence
The Spanish - American authorities banned the circulation of the Declaration , but it was widely transmitted and translated : by Venezuelan Manuel García de Sena , by Colombian Miguel de Pombo , by Ecuadorian Vicente Rocafuerte , and by New Englanders Richard Cleveland and William Shaler , who distributed the Declaration and the United States Constitution among creoles in Chile and Indians in Mexico in 1821 . The North Ministry did not give an official answer to the Declaration , but instead secretly commissioned pamphleteer John Lind to publish a response entitled Answer to the Declaration of the American Congress . British Tories denounced the signers of the Declaration for not applying the same principles of `` life , liberty , and the pursuit of happiness '' to African Americans . Thomas Hutchinson , the former royal governor of Massachusetts , also published a rebuttal . These pamphlets challenged various aspects of the Declaration . Hutchinson argued that the American Revolution was the work of a few conspirators who wanted independence from the outset , and who had finally achieved it by inducing otherwise loyal colonists to rebel . Lind 's pamphlet had an anonymous attack on the concept of natural rights written by Jeremy Bentham , an argument that he repeated during the French Revolution . Both pamphlets asked how the American slaveholders in Congress could proclaim that `` all men are created equal '' without freeing their own slaves .
James Stockdale
For conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty while senior naval officer in the Prisoner of War camps of North Vietnam . Recognized by his captors as the leader in the Prisoners ' of War resistance to interrogation and in their refusal to participate in propaganda exploitation , Rear Adm. Stockdale was singled out for interrogation and attendant torture after he was detected in a covert communications attempt . Sensing the start of another purge , and aware that his earlier efforts at self - disfiguration to dissuade his captors from exploiting him for propaganda purposes had resulted in cruel and agonizing punishment , Rear Adm. Stockdale resolved to make himself a symbol of resistance regardless of personal sacrifice . He deliberately inflicted a near - mortal wound to his person in order to convince his captors of his willingness to give up his life rather than capitulate . He was subsequently discovered and revived by the North Vietnamese who , convinced of his indomitable spirit , abated in their employment of excessive harassment and torture toward all of the Prisoners of War . By his heroic action , at great peril to himself , he earned the everlasting gratitude of his fellow prisoners and of his country . Rear Adm. Stockdale 's valiant leadership and extraordinary courage in a hostile environment sustain and enhance the finest traditions of the U.S. Naval Service .
Appeasement
France and Britain advised Czech acceptance of Sudeten autonomy . The Czech government refused and ordered a partial mobilization in expectation of German aggression . Lord Runciman was sent by Chamberlain to mediate in Prague and persuaded the Czech government to grant autonomy . Germany escalated the dispute , the German press carrying stories of alleged Czech atrocities against Sudeten Germans and Hitler ordering 750,000 troops to the German - Czech border . In August , Henlein broke off negotiations with the Czech authorities . At a Nazi Party Rally in Nuremberg on 12 September , Hitler made a speech attacking Czechoslovakia and there was an increase of violence by Sudeten Nazis against Czech and Jewish targets .

Battles of Saratoga
Arnold led the American chase , and then led Poor 's men in an attack on the Balcarres redoubt . Balcarres had set up his defenses well , and the redoubt was held , in action so fierce that Burgoyne afterwards wrote , `` A more determined perseverance than they showed ... is not in any officer 's experience '' . Seeing that the advance was checked , and that Learned was preparing to attack the Breymann redoubt , Arnold moved toward that action , recklessly riding between the lines and remarkably emerging unhurt . He led the charge of Learned 's men through the gap between the redoubts , which exposed the rear of Breymann 's position , where Morgan 's men had circled around from the far side . In furious battle , the redoubt was taken and Breymann was killed . Arnold 's horse was hit in one of the final volleys , and Arnold 's leg was broken by both shot and the falling horse . Major Armstrong finally caught up with Arnold to officially order him back to headquarters ; he was carried back in a litter .
Joan of Arc
Upon her arrival on the scene , Joan effectively turned the longstanding Anglo - French conflict into a religious war , a course of action that was not without risk . Charles ' advisers were worried that unless Joan 's orthodoxy could be established beyond doubt -- that she was not a heretic or a sorceress -- Charles ' enemies could easily make the allegation that his crown was a gift from the devil . To circumvent this possibility , the Dauphin ordered background inquiries and a theological examination at Poitiers to verify her morality . In April 1429 , the commission of inquiry `` declared her to be of irreproachable life , a good Christian , possessed of the virtues of humility , honesty and simplicity . '' The theologians at Poitiers did not render a decision on the issue of divine inspiration ; rather , they informed the Dauphin that there was a `` favorable presumption '' to be made on the divine nature of her mission . This was enough for Charles , but they also stated that he had an obligation to put Joan to the test . `` To doubt or abandon her without suspicion of evil would be to repudiate the Holy Spirit and to become unworthy of God 's aid '' , they declared . They recommended that her claims should be put to the test by seeing if she could lift the siege of Orléans as she had predicted .
Zapatista Army of National Liberation
In mid-January 2009 , Marcos made a speech on behalf of the Zapatistas in which he supported the resistance of the Palestinians as `` the Israeli government 's heavily trained and armed military continues its march of death and destruction '' . He described the actions of the Israeli government as a `` classic military war of conquest '' . He said , `` The Palestinian people will also resist and survive and continue struggling and will continue to have sympathy from below for their cause . ''
Erwin Rommel
Montgomery had made preparations to cut the Germans off in their retreat , but in the afternoon of 2 September he visited Corps commander Brian Horrocks and gave orders to allow the Germans to retire . This was to preserve his own strength intact for the main battle which was to come . On the night of 3 September the 2nd New Zealand Division and 7th Armoured Division positioned to the north engaged in an assault , but they were repelled in a fierce rearguard action by the 90th Light Division . Montgomery called off further action to preserve his strength and allow for further desert training for his forces . In the attack Rommel had suffered 2,940 casualties and lost 50 tanks , a similar number of guns , and 400 lorries , vital for supplies and movement . The British losses , except tank losses of 68 , were much less , further adding to the numerical inferiority of Panzer Army Afrika . The Desert Air Force inflicted the highest proportions of damage on Rommel 's forces . He now realized the war in Africa could not be won . Physically exhausted and suffering from a liver infection and low blood pressure , Rommel flew home to Germany to recover his health . General Georg Stumme was left in command in Rommel 's absence . Second

Woodrow Wilson
Wilson also studied public administration , which he called `` government in action ; it is the executive , the operative , the most visible side of government , and is of course as old as government itself '' . He believed that the study of public administration could enable officials to increase governmental efficiency . He faulted political leaders who focused on philosophical issues and the nature of government and dismissed the critical issues of government administration as mere `` practical detail '' . He thought such attitudes represented the requirements of smaller countries and populations . By his day , he thought , `` it is getting to be harder to run a constitution than to frame one . '' He thought it time `` to straighten the paths of government , to make its business less unbusinesslike , to strengthen and purify its organization , and it to crown its dutifulness '' . He summarized the growth of such foreign states as Prussia , France , and England , highlighting the events that led to advances in administration .
Whigs (British political party)
Under Lord Shaftesbury 's leadership , the Whigs wished to exclude the Duke of York ( who later became King James II ) from the throne due to his Roman Catholicism , his favouring of monarchical absolutism , and his connections to France . They believed the heir presumptive , if allowed to inherit the throne , would endanger the Protestant religion , liberty and property . The first Exclusion Bill was supported by a substantial majority on its second reading in May 1679 . In response , King Charles prorogued Parliament and then dissolved it , but the subsequent elections in August and September saw the Whigs ' strength increase . This new parliament did not meet for thirteen months , because Charles wanted to give passions a chance to die down . When it met in October 1680 , an Exclusion Bill was introduced and passed in the Commons without major resistance , but was rejected in the Lords . Charles dissolved Parliament in January 1681 , but the Whigs did not suffer serious losses in the ensuing election . The next Parliament first met in March at Oxford , but Charles dissolved it after only a few days , when he made an appeal to the country against the Whigs and determined to rule without Parliament . In February , Charles had made a deal with the French King Louis XIV , who promised to support him against the Whigs . Without Parliament , the Whigs gradually crumbled , mainly due to government repression following the discovery of the Rye House Plot . The Whig peers , the Earl of Melville , the Earl of Leven , and Lord Shaftesbury , and Charles II 's illegitimate son the Duke of Monmouth , being implicated , fled to and regrouped in the United Provinces . Algernon Sidney , Sir Thomas Armstrong and William Russell , Lord Russell , were executed for treason . The Earl of Essex committed suicide in the Tower of London over his arrest for treason , whilst Lord Grey of Werke escaped from the Tower .
Colony of Virginia
Samuel Argall was the captain of one of the seven ships of the Third Supply that had arrived at Jamestown in 1609 after becoming separated from the Sea Venture , whose fate was unknown . Depositing his passengers and limited supplies , he returned to England with word of the plight of the colonists at Jamestown . The King authorized another leader , Thomas West , 3rd Baron De La Warr , later better known as `` Lord Delaware '' , to have greater powers , and the London Company organized another supply mission . They set sail from London on April 1 , 1610 .
Book of Enoch
And that sheep whose eyes were opened saw that ram , which was amongst the sheep , till it forsook its glory and began to butt those sheep , and trampled upon them , and behaved itself unseemly . And the Lord of the sheep sent the lamb to another lamb and raised it to being a ram and leader of the sheep instead of that ram which had forsaken its glory . ( David replacing Saul as leader of Israel )
Zimbabwe
Police action was strongly condemned by the UN Secretary - General , Ban Ki - moon , the European Union and the United States . While noting that the activists had suffered injuries , but not mentioning the cause of them , the Zimbabwean state - owned daily newspaper The Herald claimed the police had intervened after demonstrators `` ran amok looting shops , destroying property , mugging civilians , and assaulting police officers and innocent members of the public '' . The newspaper argued that the opposition had been `` willfully violating the ban on political rallies '' .
Henry Clay
Increasingly worried about the sectional tensions arising over the issue of slavery in newly acquired territories , Clay accepted election to the Senate in 1849 . President Taylor and the 31st United States Congress faced several vexing problems regarding the disposition of lands acquired in the Mexican - American War . Taylor initially pursued a policy of `` non-action , '' hoping to avoid slavery debates by immediately admitting the new territory as states . Clay played little role in the formation of Taylor 's Cabinet , and was not closely involved in forming Taylor 's presidential initiatives . In January 1850 , with Congress still deadlocked regarding the status of the Mexican Cession , Clay decided to propose a compromise designed to ease sectional tensions and organize territory acquired in the Mexican - American War . After Taylor 's death , President Fillmore consulted with Clay in appointing a new Cabinet . Some of Clay 's friends proposed that he prepare to run in the 1852 presidential election , but Clay dismissed the possibility due to his declining health . The
Perry Expedition
Perry then switched his flag to Susquehanna and called on the Ryukyu islands from May 17 -- 26 . Ignoring the claims of Satsuma Domain to the islands , as well as his own orders , he threatened and bluffed local authorities by threatening to attack with 200 troops unless he were allowed trading rights and land for a coaling station . Perry landed his Marines , whom he drilled on the beach for hours at a time , and demanded an audience with the Ryukyu King Shō Tai at Shuri Castle . Knowing that his every action would be reported to Japanese authorities in Edo , Perry was careful to avoid meeting with low - ranked officials and made much use of military ceremony and shipboard hospitality to demonstrate both American military power and the peaceful intent of his expedition . Perry left with promises that the islands would be completely open to trade with the United States . Continuing on the Ogasawara islands in mid-June , Perry met with the local inhabitants and even purchased a plot of land .
