Wallace knew he needed to recruit a talismanic figure to guide his young side through their looming relegation battle.

Having won six league titles and three European Cups with Ajax, plus a La Liga crown with Barcelona, Wallace launched an audacious bid to bring three-time Ballon d'Or winner Johan Cruyff to Filbert Street.

The Dutch magician had retired from international football in 1977 with 33 goals in 48 caps for arguably the greatest team never to win the World Cup and had followed the footsteps of Pele and Franz Beckenbauer in moving to the North American Soccer League in the twilight of his career.

Cruyff joined the Los Angeles Aztecs in 1979 where he would go on to score 14 goals in 27 games and after being voted the league's MostValuable Player, he moved east to the Washington Diplomats for his last hurrah in the US. However, the predicted popularity of the sport over the pond had failed to materialise and at the end of 1980, Cruyff was forced to leave the Diplomats after just five games before they eventually folded a year later.

Cruyff was on the move in 1981 after a spell in the North American Soccer League

With the 1982 World Cup looming and Cruyff keen to play at the highest level in Europe, Arsenal expressed their interest but it was Spanish Segunda Division outfit Levante that made the first move.

Les Granotes were chasing promotion to the top flight and, aware that Cruyff would be open to a return to sunnier climes, the Valencian side felt they


could persuade the Dutchman to bolster their La Liga push.

An un-named German club also joined the race for Cruyff's coveted signature, but after defeat to Germany in 1974 he had no intention on a move to Bundesliga and word quickly spread in the East Midlands that he had agreed to join Wallace's struggling Leicester.

"Johan and I have already agreed terms. He has one or two problems to sort out, but I am very hopeful he will join us on Thursday," Wallace told The Sun.

"I would like to think that part of Johan's interest is down to our personal friendship. I have known him since 1973 when he scored a fabulous goal for Ajax against Rangers when I was at Ibrox in the first European Super Cup.

"The negotiations haveto make his debut against local rivals and European Cup holders Nottingham Forest after reportedly agreeing a £4,000-a-week deal, he was pictured at Manises airport and declared to the Spanish press that he had opted to sign for Levante.

"During the past two months I have had offers from Leicester, Arsenal and a German club, but I want to be free," Cruyff told the Spanish press.

He made his debut at the Estadi Ciutat de Valencia in a 1-0 win over Palencia, while Steve Lynex's goal ensured Leicester held Brian Clough's side to a point at Filbert Street.

However, despite losing just three of their remaining 10 games, Leicester could not avoid an immediate return to the Second


Division while in Spain, Cruyff's season was curtailed with a toe injury and following a 3-1 defeat at Linares, Levante's promotion push had ground to a shuddering halt.

Twenty-five years on and following the death of the Godfather of 'Total Football', Leicester lead Tottenham by five points at the summit of English football with just seven games to play as they chase another fairy-tale.

"Why couldn't you beat a richer club? I've never seen a bag of money score a goal," Cruyff once said. Perhaps the Dutchman's legacy influenced Leicester City after all.RusVelo confirmed as a Professional Continental team for 2013

UCI satisfied with Russian team’s application after request for further information

The International Cycling Union (UCI) has confirmed the registration of RusVelo as a Professional Continental team for 2013. The Russian squad was created in 2012 at the second division level, but was not granted registration last month - when the UCI announced the final list of teams - because the UCI required further information.

At the time the UCI announced that RusVelo’s application will be considered again in January, providing the requested information was supplied, and is now apparently satisfied.

“The International Cycling Union (UCI) has announced that the UCI Licences Commission has today granted the team Rusvelo (RUS) registration as UCI Professional Continental Team (second division),” reads the UCI’s short statement.

The Luger pistol was first introduced around 1898, when Georg Luger refined the design of Hugo Borchardt. Borchardt, incidentally, had worked both at Sharps and Winchester. He tried to sell his design to Colt, but Colt was already involved with John Browning.

The Borchardt pistol was finally accepted for production by DWM, and DWM submitted it to both the British Small Arms Commmission and to the U.S. Ordnance at Springfield Armory. While the little .30 caliber bullet looked impressive in test media, both British and American boards wanted something larger.

In 1902 one 9mm Luger pistol was delivered to the British, and in 1903 three were delivered to Springfield. These were the first four 9mm Parabellum pistols made. The German designed cartridge had a 124 gr truncated cone bullet, whichNHL Hits To The Head Solved?

On October 24, 2009 Philadelphia Flyers’ Mike Richards made a hit on David Booth of the Florida Panthers that would be deemed later as a clean hit. He caught Booth blind-sided in near center ice area heading into Philly’s defensive zone. Mike Richards received a 5 minute Interference Major for the hit, which was served by Aaron Asham along with a 10 minute Game Misconduct. Richards received no conduct from the NHL.

The argument has gone either way regarding this particular hit, being clean or dirty. On February 10, 2010 Philadelphia Flyers’ Jeff Carter made a blind side hit on New Jersey Devils’ Anssi Salmela seconds after scoring a goal, which left him lying on the ice and carried out on a stretcher. Jeff


Carter received no penalty and no conduct from the NHL. On March 7, 2010 Matt Cooke of the Pittsburgh Penguins made a hit to the head on Boston Bruins Marc Savard with 5:37 left in the third. This hit left Savard unconscious momentarily. Marc Savard would be taken off on a stretcher, and Matt Cooke was not penalized for the hit. Marc Savard would also be diagnosed with a possible season ending concussion.

On March 10th, 2010 after three days of meetings in Boca Raton, Florida, the National Hockey League’s general managers have put forward a recommendation for a rule change to address hits to the head in league games.The following language was agreed to unanimously by the group:”A lateral, back pressure or blindside hit to an opponent whereNHL players if they know that person on the stretcher could end up being them, I’m positive the answer will be the same with all persons asked. So the question lies. Where these hits dirty? Did a suspension seem like the cure?

'YOU WILL BE THE ONLY PERSON WHOEVER PASSED THREE WINTERS IN THE ANTARCTIC REGIONS': PAPERS OF THE PHYSICIST ON SCOTT'S DISCOVERY EXPEDITION AND THE FIRST AUSTRALIAN TO WORK IN ANTARTICA. Louis Bernacchi (1876-1942) had served on Borchgrevink's pioneering Southern Cross Expedition of 1898-1900 which, according to the Australian Dictionary of Biography, earned him the distinction of being the first Australian to work and winter in Antarctica. He went on to achieve even greater distinction as physicist on Scott's Discovery Expedition of 1901-1904: 'he was regarded as a tireless and energetic observer and a "cheerful and loyal friend" to all the party. His scientific writings and Scott's published views testify to the value of his work, and he was awarded the Royal Geographical Society and the King's Antarctic medals as well as the French Cross


of the Légion d'honneur' (ADB). Although close to Scott, who was best man at his wedding, he was prevented by family commitments from taking up Scott's invitation to join him on his second expedition.

The present archive is outstanding for the material that relates to Bernacchi's time on the Discovery Expedition, especially the papers concerning his role in equipping the expedition and the long journal-letters describing the last two winters: of especial note, perhaps (coming as it does from an ardent admirer of Scott) being his remark with regard to the southern journey undertaken by Scott, Wilson and Shackleton that, being made without the benefit of dogs, it conforms to "the old Arctic style & a heartbreaking one it is". The silver statuette that features in some of thelater letters and for which the original receipt is present is the one presented to Markham by members of the expedition at a private gathering held before the official reception at the Albert Hall on 7 November 1904. It appears in George Henry's portrait of Markham at the RGS and the photograph by Elliot & Fry reproduced in the ODNB, and is now at the National Maritime Museum.

In his 2015 book, “Elon Musk: Tesla, SpaceX, and the Quest for a Fantastic Future,” Ashlee Vance shares the story of how Musk stopped working with his longtime executive assistant in early 2014.

According to Vance, the assistant, Mary Beth Brown, asked Musk for a significant raise after she’d been working with him for 12 years. In response, Musk told Brown to take two weeks off, during which he would assume her responsibilities and see whether she was critical to his success.

When Brown returned, Musk told her he didn’t need her anymore.

Musk also told Vance that he offered Brown another position at the company but that she never returned to the office after that.

Musk has since tweeted that the anecdote is “total nonsense.”*

He continued: “Mary Beth was ancourt remedies, the petitioner filed the instant habeas petition claiming that he was denied due process when the state trial court refused to give his requested alibi instruction to the jury.  Petitioner explained that he presented seven witnesses who testified that he was at another location at the time of the crime.  He argues that failure to give his requested alibi instruction deprived him of his presumption of innocence and of his right to have the government prove its case beyond a reasonable doubt.

Upon review of the cause in light of the arguments made by the parties in the district court and in their respective appellate briefs, this Court concludes that the district court properly dismissed petitioner's habeas petition for the reasons stated by it.

have been decimated by recent attacks from both wildlings and White Walkers. For the past couple of centuries, the order has been led from Castle Black.

The Night's Watch is organized in three departments: the Rangers, who fight, defend the Wall and patrol the Haunted Forest; the Builders, who maintain the Wall and the castles; and the Stewards, who support and feed the members of the Watch.

Following the Breaching of the Wall, Jon Snow called for the remaining members of the Night's Watch to come to Winterfell to help defend against the Night King and the army of the dead since the Wall no longer serves any defensive purpose.[1] With the extinction of the White Walkers in the Battle of Winterfell, the Watch's purpose has been fulfilled, but continuesto serve as a quarantine for the banished, poor and unfortunate.[2]

History

Background

According to legend, the Night's Watch was founded 8,000 years ago.[3] They now protect the Seven Kingdoms from threats beyond their northern border, such as White Walkers, wildlings and giants. They man a vast structure known as the Wall, a 700 foot tall and 300-mile long barrier which separates the Seven Kingdoms from the lands to the north. It is formed mostly from ice with small trenches and wooden fortifications covering the top. The Watch have built nineteen castles along the southern edge of the Wall to house their men, however, over the years many were abandoned. They also control a region south of the Wall known as the Gift, from which they obtain supplies and provisions.


The region was donated to them by House Stark, the Kings in the North, at the time.[4][5]

Members of the Night's Watch swear an oath of duty that prohibits marriage, family, and land ownership which lasts until their death. Recruits renounce all past allegiances and birthrights. Joining the Watch provides absolution for past crimes and immunity from further punishment. Brothers start with a clean slate and can rise within the ranks whatever their origins.[5]

However, even though the Night's Watch vows are meant to be for life, it is possible for one to leave the organization without execution, so long as it is with the ruling monarch's approval. For instance, Stannis Baratheon, a claimant to the Iron Throne and the King in the Narrow Sea, offers Jon Snow a chanceto leave the Night's Watch and serve him in exchange for legitimization, though this may partially be due to the fact that the Night's Watch is not taken as seriously by most as it once was, and Stannis was desperate enough to turn to Jon Snow for aid.[6] Another instance is Samwell Tarly, who was allowed to leave for Oldtown, to become a master of the Watch by Lord Commander Jon Snow.[7] However, he flees the Citadel after stealing some books[8], a punishable crime. After the assassination of Daenerys Targaryen, he is appointed the Grand Maester, having been freed from his oath.[2]

They describe one another as "sworn brothers" because of the oath. Men of the Watch dress entirely in black, giving rise to the nickname "crows" - which


is what the Free Folk commonly call them - or "black brothers."[4] Members of the Night's Watch are not specifically forbidden from seeing their families, but they cannot leave the Wall without permission. Desertion is punishable by death. First Ranger Benjen Stark would often visit his family at Winterfell while representing the Night's Watch.

The Watch was once highly regarded and their ranks were filled with volunteers from noble houses, as serving was a sign of selfless devotion to the protection of the realm.[citation needed] However, while the Night's Watch still has noble-born sons and noble-blooded illegitimate sons from Great Houses, many recruits are now also criminals avoiding punishment, nobles avoiding scandal, orphans, and other social outcasts. Men known as wandering crows, such as Yoren, travel around the SevenKingdoms gathering recruits for the Watch, offering them escape on the Wall. For some families, the Wall is a convenient place to exile embarrassing or disgraced family members. Samwell Tarly was disowned by his own father and ordered to join the Watch on threat of death, while Tywin Lannister had plans to exile his own son Tyrion to the Wall so as to avoid executing him for allegedly murdering King Joffrey Baratheon. However, other families, such as House Stark, view the Night's Watch as an honorable and noble calling. Generations of Starks have joined the Night's Watch for the sake of honor.[3]

By the reign of King Robert Baratheon, the institution has fallen into disrepute and is largely ignored by the throne. It is severely undermanned; dwindling numbers have


led to all but three of the Wall's nineteen castles being abandoned. The Night's Watch is now led from its stronghold at Castle Black.[4] The Shadow Tower and Eastwatch-by-the-Sea are the only other castles that are still manned. Meanwhile, trouble is stirring beyond the Wall. A large wildling army under a new King Beyond the Wall, Mance Rayder, is advancing south, and there are rumors that the White Walkers, long since thought to be extinct, have returned. At the time Jon Snow arrives at Castle Black, the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch is Jeor Mormont.

Although joining the Night's Watch is often a punishment for many, it can also be a positive thing in the long run; the Watch is highly egalitarian compared to the rest of Westeros,had the kind of training Jon received from Ser Rodrik.

Increased wildling activity beyond the Wall leads the Watch to send out several patrols to investigate. Some do not return. A three-man scouting party consisting of Ser Waymar Royce, Gared, and Will is one of those sent out, but only Will returns - then frantically tries to desert the Watch by running south but was caught. He rambles that the legendary White Walkers killed his companions, but he is disbelieved as a madman and beheaded by Lord Eddard Stark for desertion.[10]

When Tyrion Lannister, younger brother of Queen Cersei, makes a visit to the Wall while traveling to Winterfell, he is met at Castle Black by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont and Maester Aemon. They implore him to bring news to


at the Fist of the First Men.[12] Meanwhile, back in Winterfell, Maester Luwin advises a besieged Theon Greyjoy to flee to the Wall and join the Night's Watch so that he might save his life and redeem himself for his betrayal. Though Theon acknowledges his sins, he ultimately declines the suggestion partly out of fear that Jon Snow will try to kill him.[13]

The Night's Watch engages in the first open conflict between men and White Walkers in eight millennia when their position is assaulted in the Battle of the Fist of the First Men. They suffer heavy casualties, though a few dozen men led by Mormont manage to fight their way out, and retreat southwards.[14] Mormont himself is then killed by his own men when they mutiny atCraster's Keep.[15]

In response to the Night's Watch's calls for help, Tywin Lannister suggests that they allow the wildlings to destroy the Watch and settle in the North, hoping to use Mance Rayder as an ally to help them fight Robb Stark and Balon Greyjoy.

Alliser Thorne temporarily succeeds Mormont as acting Commander.[16] Their strength now reduced to about 100 men, the remainder of the Watch manage to fend off a wildling attack on Castle Black.[17] Stannis Baratheon then unexpectedly arrives to relieve them, and defeats the wildling army.[18]

Following the defeat of the wildling army and the execution of Mance Rayder, the Night's Watch elects Jon Snow as its new Lord Commander,[6] who attempts to rebuild the Watch and pay more attention to the growing threat of the White Walkers.


Jon opts to make peace between the Night's Watch and the wildlings to save them from dying and becoming part of the White Walker army,[19] having come to feel sympathy for them as they are men, women, and children who were born on the other side of the Wall and are also fleeing the White Walkers.[20] Jon, Edd, other Watchmen, and Tormund go on a rescue mission to Hardhome to save the wildlings but the Night King attacks Hardhome.[21] Jon and his party return with the surviving wildlings and bring them south of the Wall. This decision is met with harsh criticism by many of the black brothers, including Alliser Thorne, Othell Yarwyck and Bowen Marsh. Jon is later stabbed by his own brothers in a mutiny andleft for dead.[22]

The mutiny against Jon Snow creates further tension between those loyal to Jon and the mutineers. Following a brief scuffle, Eddison Tollett summons the wildlings back to Castle Black and with their support places the mutineers under arrest for their betrayal.[23] Jon is later revived from the dead by Melisandre,[24] and after publicly executing the mutineers, Jon leaves the Night's Watch, giving the command to Edd Tollett, as his death, though temporary, marked the end of his watch (although Edd tries to argue otherwise).[25]

Sansa Stark, Jon's half-sister, escapes from Ramsay Bolton and flees to Jon at Castle Black, where she finds shelter. At Castle Black, Jon and Sansa reunite and Jon promises to protect Sansa. A letter from Ramsay demands her return to Winterfell, threatening to


of the third episode of Season 6, Jon is no longer part of the Night's Watch as he has resigned after his assassination, his death marking the end of his watch.[24] At the end of Season 6, the Northern lords declare him King in the North,[27] though Jon's primary focus is the coming White Walker invasion. He intends to rally as much of Westeros as he can, which will aid the Night's Watch in the imminent battle against the army of the dead.

Acting Lord Commander of the Night's Watch Eddison Tollett and several other watchmen allow Meera Reed and Bran Stark through the Wall and into Castle Black, after proving their identities through Bran's knowledge on Edd's whereabouts beyond the Wall.[28]

After the Breaching of the Wall, the Night'sWatch abandon their castles and travel south towards Winterfell to aid in its defense. Acting Lord Commander of the Night's Watch Eddison Tollett and several other watchmen encounter Tormund, Beric, and other Eastwatch survivors at Last Hearth after its fall to the White Walkers.[1]

Eddison perishes in the Battle of Winterfell. With the extinction of the White Walkers, the purpose of the Night's Watch has been served.[29] However, as Tyrion mentions, the Night's Watch continues to serve as a quarantine to the poor, banished, and unfortunate. The surviving members returned to the castles along with the wildlings after the battle.

Following the Battle of King's Landing, Jon assassinates Daenerys. In order to avoid a war between the Unsullied and Jon's supporters, Tyrion, as his position as Hand of the King


to Bran, regretfully informs him that Bran has banished him to the Night's Watch again, which Jon accepts.

After reaching Castle Black, Jon reunites with Tormund, Ghost and all the remaining Free Folk. He leaves along with the Free Folk for the lands beyond the Wall, looking forlornly when the gate of the keep closes behind him.[2] It is unknown how he is allowed to leave with the wildlings, whether his reason to leave is just to escort them, or to permanently leave for lands beyond the Wall.

Organization

Structure

Men of the Night's Watch are divided between three different orders: the Rangers, the Builders, and the Stewards. Each order is led by its own officer, each appointed by the Lord Commander of the Night's Watch: the First Ranger, First Builder, andFirst Steward.

Rangers - the true warriors of the Night's Watch. While all black brothers are expected to have some basic arms training and to take up a sword in defense of the Wall itself, the Rangers are the ones who are sent on dangerous scouting expeditions beyond the Wall, to track wildlings movements. When the Watch was more numerous in past centuries they formed the core fighting group sent to destroy large wildling warbands who attempted to pass south of the Wall.

Builders - who physically maintain the structures of the Night's Watch, and repair the Wall itself.

Stewards - who provide for the day-to-day needs of the Watch: gathering, cooking, and serving food, repairing clothes and equipment, tending to the horses and messenger-ravens, and gathering firewood. By far the


largest of the three orders.

Each castle of the Night's Watch also has a maester assigned to it. These maesters take the oath of the Night's Watch and are considered full black brothers, but are not considered part of the three orders. Given that there were never more than nineteen castles along the Wall, there were never more than nineteen maesters in the Night's Watch at any one time. Since there are only three active castles on the Wall in modern times, there are now only three maesters in the Night's Watch at a time.

Leadership

The leader of the Night's Watch is the Lord Commander. Each Lord Commander serves for life, and a new Lord Commander is democratically elected by other members of the Night's Watch in a Choosing.

It isa younger son or bastard son of a major noble House will decide to join the Night's Watch, but they can often afford to travel to the Night's Watch on their own initiative - such as Jon Snow (a bastard) and Waymar Royce (a third-born son).

Recruiters are few in number, and they are not considered a separate order in the Night's Watch. Instead, they are drawn from trusted members of the three orders, often those who can no longer fight well due to injuries but who can still travel.

Military strength

Late in the reign of King Robert Baratheon, the Night's Watch had dwindled to under one thousand members - many of them composed of old men, untrained boys, and convicted felons. While there are nineteen castles along the Wall,


the Watch only has enough men to continue to man three of them: their headquarters Castle Black in the middle, the Shadow Tower at the western end, and their port Eastwatch-by-the-Sea at the eastern end. Furthermore, with the breakout of The War of the Five Kings, recruitment for the Watch was drastically reduced.

The Watch took severe losses in Jeor Mormont's disastrous expedition beyond the Wall, losing nearly 300 men as a result. Combined with heavy losses during the Battle of Castle Black, as well as losses from other wildling attacks, by the time that King Stannis Baratheon arrives at the Wall the entire organization consists of only around 600 members left. The Watch suffers further losses after the massacre at Hardhome and the mutiny at Castle Black, leadingJon Snow to order the surviving wildlings to help garrison the remaining castles, likely raising their numbers by a few hundred. However, much of this new strength is lost at the breaching of the Wall, with only a dozen left alive from Eastwatch.

Possessions

Castles along the Wall

There are nineteen castles spread out along the southern face of the Wall as bases for the Night's Watch. Patrols from these castles would travel along the top of the Wall watching for threats from the north, or repairing damage to the Wall. Each castle also contained a tunnel cut under the Wall, through which scouting parties would travel to the north to track wildling movements.

As the Night's Watch dwindled over the centuries, however, most of these castles were abandoned, and their tunnels


sealed with ice. By the end of the reign of King Robert Baratheon, only three major castles along the Wall are still manned: Castle Black, the Shadow Tower, and Eastwatch-by-the-Sea. In Season 3 also appears the ruin of was was once the Nightfort.

The Gift

The Gift is a region to the south of the Wall under the direct control of the Night's Watch. It lies at the northern edge of the region known as the North. It was donated to the Night's Watch by House Stark when the order was founded thousands of years ago, in order to support the Night's Watch with food and provisions. The Gift is officially not subject to the authority of Winterfell, and is technically not part of "The North", but is a specialadministrative zone directly ruled by the Night's Watch.

The Gift is sparsely populated by only a handful of smallfolk, as most have relocated to the south over the generations while the Night's Watch dwindled and wildling raiding parties over or around the Wall increased in frequency. The northern areas closer to the Wall are almost completely empty. The closest significant settlement near the Wall is Mole's Town, located a few miles down the Kingsroad from Castle Black.

Notable members

Recent Lords Commander

Past Lords Commander

The original headquarters of the Night's Watch was the Nightfort, the first castle built at the Wall, and thus for thousands of years, it was where the Lord Commander of the Watch resided. A little over two hundred years before the War of the Five Kings, during the


reign of King Jaehaerys I Targaryen, the Night's Watch abandoned the Nightfort because they could no longer maintain it with their dwindling resources. Instead, they relocated their headquarters to Castle Black, where all subsequent Lords Commander were based.

The "Night's King" - one of the early Lords Commander who, according to legend, lived eight thousand years ago. The legends say that he was seduced by a female White Walker, declared himself king of the Night's Watch, and conducted human sacrifices at the Nightfort. It took an alliance between the Stark King in the North and the wildling King-Beyond-the-Wall Joramun to overthrow him, and restore the Night's Watch.

Brynden Rivers - held the position during the reign of King Aegon V Targaryen.

Based at the Shadow Tower

Based at Eastwatch

Cotterwhen Aegon the Conqueror invaded to less than 1,000, divided into three garrisons at Castle Black (600 soldiers), the Shadow Tower (200 soldiers) and Eastwatch-by-the-Sea (less than 200 soldiers).

Of these 1,000 men, almost 300 are killed in the Great Ranging, due to the disastrous Battle of the Fist of the First Men and subsequent Mutiny at Craster's Keep. This further reduced the Night's Watches ranks to only 700 men, and perhaps worse, killed off most of their senior officers and best warriors, including Lord Commander Jeor Mormont himself. The expedition force consisted of one hundred men from the Shadow Tower and two hundred men from Castle Black.

After the Battle of Castle Black, the Night's Watch takes a headcount: their entire manpower (including the garrisons at Eastwatch and the


Shadow Tower) has been reduced to 589 brothers. Most of the losses are taken at the Battle of the Fist of the First Men, and more at the following Battle of the Bridge of Skulls and the Battle of Castle Black.

The oath used in the show leaves out one line from the oath in the books.

Night gathers, and now my watch begins. It shall not end until my death. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. I shall wear no crowns and win no glory. I shall live and die at my post. I am the sword in the darkness. I am the watcher on the walls. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the hornthat wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come.

The Night's Watch has no heraldic symbol, to emphasize its sworn duty to be removed from petty politics of one lordly House or another, but to defend the lands of men as a whole. Thus, the Night's Watch uses solid black on its banner and shields, which symbolize the erasure of any allegiance to noble Houses. Even the "uniform" of the Night's Watch is to wear solid black clothing; members from wealthier families often buy all-black clothing before leaving for the Wall, while poor conscripts have their clothing simply dyed black when they reach the Wall (clothing which


Unearthed: Glass From The Past

Terry Tilford tapped into history when he unearthed old bottles at a downtown Orlando construction site two months ago.

About six feet beneath the surface he discovered seven wine, bourbon and medicine bottles and one beer bottle that experts say was manufactured in the 1870s.

When the Budweiser beer bottle was filled with brew, the Civil War had been over for about 12 years and Orlando had recently incorporated.

Anheuser-Busch, the company that produces Budweiser, has confirmed that the bottle was made in St. Louis between 1876 and 1878, said Tom McCarty of Wayne Densch Inc., local distributer for the company's beer.

The 16-ounce long-necked bottle is intact but without its cork seal. The glass, once clear, has been clouded with a frosted, turquoise tinge. The inscription onBank on Washington Street.

Tilford said he unearthed the bottles while he was digging for footers for the garage foundation.

''I saw something roll off the mound of dirt I had and there was an old bottle. The first bottle I dug up looked like an old wine bottle . . ., so I dug some more,'' he said.

Later that day, he cleaned the bottles. He thought he had misread the inscription on the beer bottle, so he took it home and cleaned it some more. Then the inscription was undeniable, Tilford said.

Anheuser-Busch was able to trace the date that the bottle was made because the name of Carl Conrad, co-inventor of the beer, appeared only on the bottles made between 1876 and 1878. Conrad teamed with Adolphus Busch to


create Budweiser, which was placed on the market in 1876. That is why the inscription says ''original Budweiser,'' McCarty said.

The company knew the bottle, valued at about $30, was made in St. Louis because that is where its only brewery was located at the time, he said.

Tilford said he plans to keep his historic bottle in his southwest Orlando office with his other glass relics.Research & Statistics Resources

Selinunte is the ancient Greek city of Selinus which was founded by Doric Greek colonists between 650 and 630 BC. It was one of the most prominent cities in Magna Graecia, second in importance only to Syracuse.

The Carthaginians sacked the city in 409 BC and took occupation. It was destroyed by the Carthaginians in 250 BC to prevent the Romans from gaining it as a prize during the first Punic war.

A small Byzantine Greek village grew up around the ancient ruins from 700 AD. It was destroyed by earthquake in the early 9th century.

Outside Melbourne's State Library on Friday night, a Hong Kong woman was heard shouting in English, "If you can't respect that (freedom of expression), why are you in Australia for the freedom? Why aren't you studying in the great China?"

Thereafter, some people around her clapped and cheered.

In response, one mainland Chinese man present shouted, "Why are you in Australia too?"

The two then continued shouting at each other, with the woman saying she wants "freedom", while the people around them either cheered for or booed the other side.

The seat was won by Democrat Bill Owens which was held previously by Republican John McHugh, who was appointed Secretary of the Army by President Obama last June. So the Democrats have gained a seat.

And yes, Democrats and the liberal media will make much of the fight that occurred between supporters of Hoffman and Dede Scozzafava, the Republican nominee who turned out to be to the left of President Obama. After dropping out of the race last weekend, Scozzafava endorsed Owens much to the chagrin of RNC Chairman Michael Steele and former House Speaker Newt Gingrich both of whom hadShe said the only reason her gun was out in the first place was self-defense. She said she got the gun out after someone shot into her Frayser home.

According to Nellums, those shots barely missed her. That's when she came out with a gun and fired shots into the ground.

"I was trying to protect my children and my grandbabies, because they were there," Nellums said. "My mother was there. There was a lot of us there and they shot the house up."

She said she then put her gun back in the lockbox. The lockbox was unlocked though when her 3-year-old son grabbed the weapon. Police said the gun was left unattended on the living room table. Nellums said that is not true.

At least 80 people have been killed in two suicide bombings at a march in the Afghan capital Kabul, officials say.

More than 230 people have been injured in the attack, according to the interior ministry, and are being taken to Istiqlal hospital.

Witnesses said the blasts happened where hundreds of Afghanistan's Hazara minority had gathered to protest over the route of a planned multi-million dollar power line.

They were demanding a major electric transmission line pass through their impoverished areas, an option the government says would cost millions and delay the badly needed project by years.

One of the march organisers, Laila Mohammadi, said she arrived at the scene soon after the blast and saw "many dead and wounded people".

IslamicState has claimed responsibility for the attack.

Violence had been feared at what was the second march over the power line issue.

The demonstrators had been shouting "death to discrimination" and "all Afghans are equal".

The last protest in May attracted thousands of people and shut down the central business district.

The so-called TUTAP line is backed by the Asian Development Bank with involvement of Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Afghanistan and Pakistan.

Image: Riot police stand guard during the demonstration

The original plan routed the line through Bamiyan province, in the central highlands, where most of the country's Hazaras live.

That route was changed in 2013 by the previous Afghan government.

Leaders of the marches have said the rerouting was evidence of bias against the Hazara community.

Hazaras are considered the poorest of the country's ethnic groups, and

The 2018 Winter Olympics officially concluded with the closing ceremony in PyeongChang, South Korea on Sunday, Feb. 25. Similar to the opening ceremony, there was a procession of the flags representing the nations that competed in the games, but you might have noticed one country whose athletes didn't have a national flag to call their own. So, is the Russian flag at the 2018 Olympics closing ceremony?

The ban was originally instated in 2014 after the Sochi Winter Games when Russia's sports ministry allegedly procured 100 urine samples in an effort to hide their athletes' prohibited steroid use.

With keeping Russia's Olympic ban, the decision about whether or not the Russian flag would fly was made.

They may not have had a Russian flag to call their own, but even without it, teams like the OAR men's hockey team nabbed a gold medal on Sunday in PyeongChang (Saturday night in the United States).

So, even though most of the Olympic Athletes from Russia competed clean throughout the 2018 Winter Olympics, a couple of hiccups prevented the IOC from lifting the ban on Russia's Olympic team. As long as the ban is in place, athletes from Russia cannot represent the Russian flag.Foundation (NSF) for the construction and operation of the LIGO Laboratory, the Science and Technology Facilities Council (STFC) of the United Kingdom, the Max-Planck-Society (MPS), and the State of Niedersachsen/Germany for support of the construction and operation of the GEO600 detector, the Italian Istituto Nazionale di Fisica Nucleare (INFN) and the French Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique (CNRS) for the construction and operation of the Virgo detector.

guitar is like a mini piano. In addition to this, a guitar presents all tones as equal since it does not distinguish between black and white keys, whereas a piano tells you which tones you should play for C major and all other keys are played in relation to C major, as far as the black and white piano keys are concerned.

Sure, the piano has potential for grandiose pieces of music since you can use all ten fingers at the same time, whereas with the guitar you only have six strings and five fingers to play with. In my experience though, the guitar has inspired me to create more original music without referring to music theory. When I first started writing "The Sound of Rain" I simply tooktuning before electromagnetism was discovered in the 19th century, which enabled the precise measurement of frequencies. Old organ pipes are tuned to a large variety of frequencies.

"For example, an English pitchpipe from 1720 plays the A above middle C at 380 Hz, while the organs played by Johann Sebastian Bach in Hamburg, Leipzig and Weimar were pitched at A = 480 Hz, a difference of around four semitones. In other words, the A produced by the 1720 pitchpipe would have been at the same frequency as the F on one of Bach's organs."

With this being said, my own personal experience with the different frequencies has been clear. I feel a lot more relaxed when playing 432 Hz on my guitar, maybe partly because there is less tension on

Football is defined by its various and diverse philosophies and the masterminds behind them. For every successful tactic, there is someone behind its inception. The sport is littered with influences that precede it, and by the 21st century, every new style is not really new, but a modification of something old.

Evolution is an inherent part of life, and football evolved faster than ever in the 20th century. While the evolved form might become a work of art, one must not forget its roots. One of the primary innovators of the modern game is Johan Cruyff, but there are important, just a revolutionary, figures that preceded the great Dutchman.

Amongst the ranks of famed football innovators, one name is often missed out. Victor Maslov can lay claim to being oneof the forefathers of the beautiful game as we know it today, and yet there is a stark lack of credit attributed to the Russian. It might be that his legacy is outshone by those that succeeded him.

One of his successors was Valeriy Lobanovskyi, a Ukrainian whose success at Dynamo Kyiv was one of many common denominators between he and Maslov. Whether or not football has room for just one Soviet innovator, the fact remains that Maslov is one of the lost masterminds in the game who demands much more credit than is afforded to him.

Maslov was born in 1910 in the Soviet Union, at a time where the European landscape was dominated by shifting borders and conflict. As a player his rise was steady, joining RDPK Moscow


in 1930. He crossed the city divide a couple of years later, moving to Torpedo Moscow. It was there where he made his name as a tidy midfielder, staying until 1942 and captaining the side over a three-year stint during his time in the capital.

He hung up his boots in 1942 as the Second World War began to escalate in his homeland. It was, however, not his playing career around which Maslov’s legacy is centred. A modest yet successful period on the pitch was the precursor to his time in the dugout, which would go on to define his legacy as well as the sport itself.

He took over at Torpedo when he retired, but what followed was a largely underwhelming six years. When he was sacked in 1948,he learned of the news from the cleaners. He found it difficult post-Torpedo, shuffling between three clubs in seven seasons. But after some time off, Torpedo came back for Maslov, and it was then when the seeds of success were sown.

Read | How science and innovation made Valeriy Lobanovskyi Eastern Europe’s greatest manager

A four-year stint produced a league title in 1959/60 and two cup wins as Maslov began to find his feet at the highest level. He moved on to SKA Rostov-on-Don for two years after that, commencing a solid building job that preceded a famous runners-up finish in the Soviet Top League in 1966. His efforts were finally recognised by the elite when Dynamo Kyiv came calling in 1964.

Football formations have come in and out of vogue


the beginning of their dual responsibility.

The midfield had a holder who covered the back four, while there was an advanced playmaker in possession. Maslov preferred his side to keep the ball moving and abolished man marking in favour of zones. Above all of that, however, what he had his side doing without the ball was the defining factor. His clockwork system had players limit the space afforded to the opposition, winning the ball high up the pitch. That is now known as pressing, and his system was good enough to pressure the opposition while closing gaps of their own.

At the time, pressing has long been prevalent in sport. In hockey, Thomas Patrick Gorman had introduced the concept of forechecking, where his forwards would surge and aggressively impose themselveson opposing players in possession, cutting down space and blocking passing lanes. It took them time, but it eventually brought success. More than anything, the system requires a machine-like system for it to fully work. While it seemed impossible to transfer over forechecking from hockey to football, given the numerous differences, it was eventually successful.

Read | Oleh Blokhin: the greatest footballer to emerge from behind the Iron Curtain

The likes of Mauricio Pochettino and Jürgen Klopp have introduced a pressing system at their clubs today, but the very essence of the tactic dates back decades. Some credit Rinus Michels, while others attribute its success at the top with Ernst Happel’s Feyenoord, who won the European Cup in 1970. Whether or not Maslov’s influence is unrecognised or simply forgotten is


training, but he also focused his attention on nutrition and recovery. While this is now a staple at clubs across the world, it wasn’t the case back then.

One of English football’s clichés is the 4-4-2 formation, but that itself was drawn from the Three Lions’ sole World Cup triumph in 1966 under Alf Ramsey. Their success with the formation led to a nationwide adoption of the system, leading to its association with the English – and wider British – game. It is also why Ramsey is incorrectly credited as its pioneer, when in fact Maslov had devised its use years earlier. Given Cold War tensions at the time, it might be that Ramsey devised the 4-4-2 on his own, but there is no doubt that Maslov was thefirst.

Like many pioneers, the Russian was ahead of his time, though it didn’t always translate into trophies or acclaim – at least not immediately. Thanks in part to their midfield, Dynamo Kyiv won the league for three consecutive years between 1966 to 1968, with Soviet Top League power shifting from Moscow to Kyiv.

Maslov’s favouring of a collective ethos on and off the pitch was something that set him apart, with regular consultation with his players the staff a key part of his method. He would gather his squad together before games and talk through the plan, asking for their thoughts along the way. Such trust was vital in his implementation of a team-centric tactic. It’s perhaps no surprise, then, that the likeable Maslov was known as Grandad. It’s


accurate prediction of the path football would take over the following years.

He was eventually sacked in 1970 when Dynamo slipped to seventh in the league. He wasn’t helped by a lack of reserves, and the players lost to the World Cup affected his side in all areas. While his impact at the club may have gone stale, his dismissal was sour nevertheless, shipped off with no replacement in sight. He returned with Torpedo, winning a domestic cup, before a stint with Ararat Yerevan, but by then his career was in decline. He eventually passed away aged 67 in May 1977.

The concepts that Maslov pioneered, such as zonal-marking and aggressive pressing, have come to shape the modern game in ways the Russian himself may not have imagined. He conceivedit all, and his famous Dynamo side is the stuff of lore in his homeland. Sadly, though, the exploits of Lobanovskyi have come to push him out of the limelight.

It is ironic that the player once rejected by Maslov would eventually eclipse him as a coach. Lobanovksyi’s vision of the game revolved around science, to which extent he established a partnership with Professor Anatoly Zelentsov, a dean of the local Institute of Physical Science. Their exploits led Dynamo Kyiv to auspices further than those achieved by Maslov, but the principles remained similar.

A systematic style, a focus on nutrition and recovery, and those high-pressing ideals were adopted by the Ukrainian, and to his credit, he placed Dynamo on the world map. Unlike his former coach, he wasn’t limited by

On the other end,ISLAMABAD - The Finance Division on Thursday released Rs. 250 million for a 'Houbara Bustard and Migratory Birds Endowment Fund' upon the directions of Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif.

In October, the prime minister had approved the fund, which aims at boosting the habitats of migratory birds, particularly the endangered Houbara Bustard. "The fund will be used to increase the population of migratory birds in the country," a source in PM House told Daily Pakistan.

While rice is common to most Asian cuisines, different varieties are popular in the various regions. Basmati rice is popular in the subcontinent, Jasmine rice is often found across the southeast, while long-grain rice is popular in China and short-grain in Japan and Korea.

Curry is a common dish in southern ,western and
southeastern Asia, however it is not as common in East Asian cuisines. Curry dishes with origins in India and other South Asian countries usually have a yogurt base whileprice in a sociable setting, to experience ethnic cuisines, or for nostalgia.

History

Small fried fish were a street food in ancient Greece, however, Theophrastus held the custom of street food in low regard. Evidence of a large number of street food vendors were discovered during the excavation of Pompeii. Street food was widely consumed by poor urban residents of ancient Rome whose tenement homes did not have ovens or hearths. Here, chickpea soup with bread and grain paste were common meals. In ancient China, street food generally catered to the poor, however, wealthy residents would send servants to buy street food and bring it back for them to eat in their homes.

Southeast Asia

Southeast Asia or Southeastern Asia is a subregion of Asia, consisting of the countries that are geographically


south of China, east of India, west of New Guinea and north of Australia. The region lies near the intersection of geological plates, with heavy seismic and volcanic activity. Southeast Asia consists of two geographic regions:

Wikimedia Commons

Wikimedia Commons (or simply Commons) is an online repository of free-use images, sound, and other media files. It is a project of the Wikimedia Foundation.

Files from Wikimedia Commons can be used across all Wikimedia projects in all languages, including Wikipedia, Wikibooks, Wikivoyage, Wikispecies, Wikisource, and Wikinews, or downloaded for offsite use. The repository contains over 30 million media files. In July 2013, the number of edits on Commons reached 100,000,000.

History

The project was proposed by Erik Möller in March 2004 and launched on September 7, 2004. A key motivation behind the setup ofa central repository was the desire to reduce duplication of effort across the Wikimedia projects and languages, as the same file had to be uploaded to many different wikis separately before Commons was created.

Several sister projects (e.g. Dutch, Swedish, Danish, Norwegian, Spanish, Basque, Polish, Czech and Slovak Wikipedias) moved all their media content to Commons and stopped allowing local uploading. Some projects, such as the English Wikipedia, have more compliant copyright policy and allow to upload and keep files which are not acceptable at Commons, e.g. fair use images.

A video compilation of my 2 month backpacking trip around SouthEast Asia (January to March of 2014). In total, I went to 9 countries and had the best time of my life. This video includes the culture, cuisines, famous landmarks, and more in chronological order.
South East Asia is truly a unique place, and it is home to some of the friendliest peoplenortheastern section of the city. Legend has it that Daun Penh, a wealthy widow, retrieved a large koki tree trunk from the river. She had hoped to use it for a house, but inside a hollow of the trunk, she found four statues of the Buddha. She then ordered for a section of her property to be elevated for a small shrine to be erected to revere the statues. This became a sacred site and people started to settle around the hill; eventually, this became the city it now is. It is here that the city gets its name: ‘Phnom’ means hill in Khmer and ‘Penh’ is of course the name of the lady.
Royal PalaceThe Royal Palace of Cambodia is a complex of buildings, even though it is


generally understood to be the royal abode of the King of Cambodia. The compound was the citadel of KingPonhea Yat (1393-1463) and rebuilt to its present state in 1886, when King Norodom (1834-1904) relocated the royal capital from Oudong to Phnom Penh. The buildings with beautiful towering spires are a great example of classic Khmer architecture found in Cambodia today.
Along with numerous other interesting buildings, within the 183,135 square meters (421m x 435m) compound is The Khemarin Palace, also known as Prasat Khemarin or the "Palace of the Khmer King." This is officially the residence of His Majesty, King Norodom Sihamoni.
Silver PagodaThe Silver Pagoda, also known as the Preah Vihear Preah Keo Morokat (the EmeraldPagoda) to Cambodians, lies within the grounds of the Royal Palace, which is situatednear the banks of the Mighty Mekong.
Originally a wooden structure, the palace was initially constructed in 1892 during the reign of King Norodom, but rebuilt to its present grandeur by King Norodom Sihanouk in 1962. The king spared no effort to make this a true embodiment of brilliant Khmer art. More than 5300 pcs of 1.125 kilo silver tiles are used to cover the floor of the Silver Pagoda, and the silver pieces collectively weigh over six tons.
National MuseumThe National Museum of Cambodia in Phnom Penh is the country’s leading historical and archaeological museum. It was officially inaugurated by King Sisowat in 1920.
Independence Monument (Vimean Ekareach)
Independence Monument (Vimean Ekareach) built in 1958 as a memorial to Cambodia's war dead and to celebrate independence from foreign rule, the monument


stands majestically on the intersection of Norodom Boulevard and Sihanouk Boulevard in the centre of the city. It is designed by the influential Cambodian modern architect Vann Molyvann in the form of a lotus-shaped stupa in the same style seen at the great Khmer temple at Angkor Wat and other Khmer historical sites.
Phsar Thmey (Central Market)
Phsar Thmey, also known as Central Market, is a unique colonial style building constructed in 1937. The location where the Central Market now sits was once a swamp area and occupied by a lake known as Beng Decho. Today, this beautiful market has become a prominent landmark in Phnom Penh. In theKhmer language, Phsar Thmey literally means ‘New Market’.

Wat Phnom (Wat Phnom Daun Penh)
Wat Phnom, the namesake and symbol of the capital city of Phnom Penh, sets prominently atop an artificial 27 meter hill (or 'Phnom') in the northeastern section of the city. Legend has it that Daun Penh, a wealthy widow, retrieved a large koki tree trunk from the river. She had hoped to use it for a house, but inside a hollow of the trunk, she found four statues of the Buddha. She then ordered for a section of her property to be elevated for a small shrine to be erected to revere the statues. This became a sacred site and people started to settle around the hill; eventually, this became the city it now is. It is here thatname literally translates as "meat bone tea", and at its simplest, consists of meaty pork ribs simmered in a complex broth of herbs and spices (including star anise, cinnamon, cloves, dang gui, fennel seeds and garlic) for hours.
Despite its name, there is in fact no tea in the dish itself; the name refers to a strong oolong Chinese tea which is usually served alongside the soup in the belief that it dilutes or dissolves
the copious amount of fat consumed in this pork-laden dish.
Roti canai or roti cane is a type of Indian-influenced flatbread found in Brunei, Malaysia, Indonesia and Singapore. It is often sold in Mamak stalls in Malaysia; also in Malay, Minangkabau and Aceh restaurants in Indonesia. It is known as roti prata in Southern Malaysia and


literally means "Trading Rice". It is a well-known breakfast food in the states on the East Coast of Peninsular Malaysia, such as Terengganu and Kelantan and Southern Thailand territory of Pattani, Yala and Narathiwat.
