The Pantheon is in use as a Catholic church.

Weddings are also held there from time to time.

After being unloaded near the Mausoleum of Augustus, the site of the Pantheon was still about 700 metres away.

A competition was held to decide which architect should design it.

However, Paul the Deacon records the spoliation of the building by the Emperor Constans II, who visited Rome in July 663:  Remaining at Rome

There, they were transferred back onto barges and pulled up the Tiber River to Rome.

Holes marking the location of clamps that held the sculpture suggest that its design was likely an eagle within a wreath; ribbons extended from the wreath into the corners of the pediment.

From him we know that "the capitals, too, of the pillars, which were placed by M. Agrippa in the Pantheon, are made of Syracusan bronze", that "the Pantheon of Agrippa has been decorated by Diogenes of Athens, and the Caryatides, by him, which form the columns of that temple, are looked upon as masterpieces of excellence: the same, too, with the statues that are placed upon the roof," and that one of Cleopatra's pearls was cut in half so that each half "might serve as pendants for the ears of Venus, in the Pantheon at Rome".

Cassius Dio, a Graeco-Roman senator, consul and author of a comprehensive History of Rome, writing approximately 75 years after the Pantheon's reconstruction, mistakenly attributed the domed building to Agrippa rather than Hadrian.

The Pantheon (UK: , US: ; Latin: Pantheum, from Greek Πάνθειον Pantheion, "[temple] of all the gods") is a former Roman temple, now a Catholic church (Basilica di Santa Maria ad Martyres or Basilica of St. Mary and the Martyrs), in Rome, Italy, on the site of an earlier temple commissioned by Marcus Agrippa during the reign of Augustus (27 BC – 14 AD).

Finished by Hadrian but not claimed as one of his works, it used the text of the original inscription on the new façade (a common practice in Hadrian's rebuilding projects all over Rome; the only building on which Hadrian put his own name was the Temple to the Deified Trajan).

No events can be held at the Pantheon of Rome.

Work and school holidays are determined by the Jewish holidays, and the official day of rest is Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.

Days of working time in Israel are Sunday through Thursday (for a five-day workweek), or Friday (for a six-day workweek).

Hannah and Her Sisters is a 1986 American comedy-drama film which tells the intertwined stories of an extended family over two years that begins and ends with a family Thanksgiving dinner.

The story is told in three main arcs, with most of it occurring during a 24-month period beginning and ending at Thanksgiving parties, held at The Langham, hosted by Hannah, and her husband, Elliot.

They are the parents of Hannah and her two sisters, and still have acting careers of their own.

Ultimately, a suicide attempt leads him to find meaning in his life after unexpectedly viewing the Marx Brothers' Duck Soup in a movie theater.

For the remainder of the year between the first and second Thanksgiving gatherings, Elliot and Lee carry on their affair despite Elliot's inability to end his marriage to Hannah.

Hannah and Her Sisters was, for a long time, Allen's biggest box office hit (forgoing adjustment for inflation), with a North American gross of US$40 million.

Lee finally ends the affair during the second Thanksgiving, explaining that she is finished waiting for him to commit and that she has started dating someone else.

The film was written and directed by Woody Allen, who stars along with Mia Farrow as Hannah, Michael Caine as her husband, and Barbara Hershey and Dianne Wiest as her sisters.

Lee has lived for five years with a reclusive artist, Frederick, who is much older.

He also went on a disastrous date with Hannah's sister Holly, when they were set up after the divorce.

Hannah and Her Sisters movie occurs during a two year period.


Faust is bored and depressed with his life as a scholar.

After an attempt to take his own life, he calls on the Devil for further knowledge and magic powers with which to indulge all the pleasure and knowledge of the world.

The first five tracks from the album The Killing Gods.

Germany aligns himself with the Nazi party for prestige.

In Goethe's reworking of the story two hundred years later, Faust becomes a dissatisfied intellectual who yearns for "more than earthly meat and drink" in his life.

Television adaptations | Chespirito's Faust

After Faust's youth is restored, he uses his powers to try conquering the heart of his assistant Margarita (played by Florinda Meza).

Mephistopheles tries to seize Faust's soul when he dies after this moment of happiness, but is frustrated and enraged when angels intervene due to God's grace.

Mephisto overcomes Faust's reluctance to sign a long binding pact with the invitation that Faust may try on these powers, just for one day, and without obligation to longer terms.

Ramon Valdez played Mephistopheles (presenting himself also as The Devil), and in this particular version, Faust sells his soul by signing a contract, after which Mephistopheles gives him an object known as the "Chirrín-Chirrión" (which resembles a horse whip) which grants him the power to make things, people or even youth or age, appear or disappear, by speaking the object's name, followed by the word "Chirrín" (for them to appear) or "Chirrión" (for them to disappear).

This is a significant difference between Goethe's "Faust" and Marlowe's; Faust is not the one who suggests the wager.

Part one of the story ends in tragedy for Faust, as Gretchen is saved but Faust is left to grieve in shame.

Directed by Philipp Humm, 2019 – a contemporary feature art film directly based on Goethe's Faust, Part One and Faust, Part Two.

Faust is an uninterested and unhappy intellectual who tried to kill himself.

By the end of the Meiji period, attendance of public schools was widespread, increasing the availability of skilled workers and contributing to the industrial growth of Japan.

The Meiji Restoration accelerated the industrialization process in Japan, which led to its rise as a military power by the year 1895, under the slogan of "Enrich the country, strengthen the military" (富国強兵, fukoku kyōhei).

There was dramatic rise in production, as shown in the table below.

We shall henceforward exercise supreme authority in all the internal and external affairs of the country.

Japan's economic powers are a major influence on the industrial factor of its country as well.

On January 3, 1868, the Emperor made a formal declaration of the restoration of his power:  The Emperor of Japan announces to the sovereigns of all foreign countries and to their subjects that permission has been granted to the Shōgun Tokugawa Yoshinobu to return the governing power in accordance with his own request.

The leaders of the Meiji Restoration, as this revolution came to be known, acted in the name of restoring imperial rule to strengthen Japan against the threat of being colonized represented by the colonial powers of the day, bringing to an end the era known as sakoku (the foreign relations policy, lasting about 250 years, prescribing the death penalty for foreigners entering or Japanese nationals leaving the country).

The foundation of the Meiji Restoration was the 1866 Satsuma-Chōshū Alliance between Saigō Takamori and Kido Takayoshi, leaders of the reformist elements in the Satsuma Domain and Chōshū Domain.

These two leaders supported the Emperor Kōmei (Emperor Meiji's father) and were brought together by Sakamoto Ryōma for the purpose of challenging the ruling Tokugawa shogunate (bakufu) and restoring the Emperor to power.

Although there were ruling Emperors before the Meiji Restoration, the events restored practical abilities and consolidated the political system under the Emperor of Japan.[2]

The Meji Restoration did nor contribute to the improvement of the rising sun country.

In interviews in 2002 and 2011, Depp claimed to have Native American ancestry, stating, "I guess I have some Native American somewhere down the line.

This led to criticism from the Native American community, as Depp has no documented Native ancestry, and Native community leaders refer to him as "a non-Indian".

Critical response to his claims from the Native community increased after this, including satirical portrayals of Depp by Native comedians.

My great-grandmother was quite a bit of Native American, she grew up Cherokee or maybe Creek Indian.

" Depp's claims came under scrutiny when Indian Country Today stated that Depp had never inquired about his heritage nor was he recognized as a member of the Cherokee Nation.

Vonnegut's fourth novel, it was first published in 1963, exploring and satirizing issues of science, technology, the purpose of religion, and the arms race, often through the use of black humor.

Cat's Cradle is a satirical postmodern novel, with science fiction elements, by American writer Kurt Vonnegut.

More topically, Cat's Cradle takes the threat of nuclear destruction in the Cold War as a major theme.

Cat's Cradle was nominated for a Hugo Award for Best Novel in 1964.

The Cuban Missile Crisis, in which world powers collided around a small Caribbean island, bringing the world to the brink of mutual assured destruction, occurred in 1962, and much of the novel can be seen as allegorical.

Cat's Cradle, despite its relatively short length, contains 127 discrete chapters.

Vonnegut himself has claimed that his books "are essentially mosaics made up of a whole bunch of tiny little chips...and each chip is a joke." After World War II, Kurt Vonnegut worked in the public relations department for the General Electric research company.

Many of Vonnegut's recurring themes are prevalent in Cat's Cradle, most notably the issues of free will and man's relation to technology.

Newt reiterates the idea of the cat's cradle, implying that the game, with its invisible cat, is an appropriate symbol for nonsense and the meaninglessness of life.

Now I will destroy the whole world –

Cat's Cradle is a satirical postmodern novel about the political climate after World War 2.


During this time, Aretha learned how to play piano by ear.

While Franklin was pursuing her career and "hanging out with [friends]", Franklin's grandmother Rachel and sister Erma took turns raising the children.

Franklin married her second husband, actor Glynn Turman, on April 11, 1978, at her father's church.

Several women, including Aretha's grandmother, Rachel, and Mahalia Jackson, took turns helping with the children at the Franklin home.

The cause of death was a malignant pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor (pNET), which is distinct from the most-common form of pancreatic cancer.

Aretha's father's emotionally driven sermons resulted in his being known as the man with the "million-dollar voice".

Franklin maintained a residence there until her death.

In 1987, she issued her third gospel album, One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism, which was recorded at her late father's New Bethel church, followed by Through the Storm in 1989.

Just after her mother's death, Franklin began singing solos at New Bethel, debuting with the hymn "Jesus, Be a Fence Around Me".

It peaked at number 5 on the Billboard Top Classical Albums chart before her death and rose to number 2 after her death.

Franklin died at her home on August 16, 2018, aged 76, without a will.

Just after her father's death, Franklin was taught to read music from her grandmother.

Second phase: The British offensive of January to September 1900 | Boers retreat

Those remaining fell into confusion and most failed to break out before Hunter trapped them.

A force under General Archibald Hunter set out from Bloemfontein to achieve this in July 1900.

It was "about the equivalent of the I Army Corps of the existing mobilization scheme" and was placed under the command of Gen Sir Redvers Buller, GOC in C of Aldershot Command.

In South Africa the corps never operated as such and the 1st, 2nd, 3rd and Cavalry divisions were widely dispersed.

Background | Escalation and war | Negotiations fail

The editor of the Times laughed out loud when he read it, saying 'an official document is seldom amusing and useful

Kitchener's tactics were very costly: Britain was running out of time and money and needed to change tack.

All the Boers were blinged out, so the Brits decided to deploy their empiralist might to steal their bling.

Beach" has been mentioned in a number of novels, plays, poems, and films: In Dodie Smith's novel, I Capture the Castle (1940), the book's protagonist remarks that Debussy's Clair de Lune reminds her of "Dover Beach" (in the film adaptation of the novel, the character quotes (or, rather, misquotes) a line from the poem).

Samuel Barber composed a setting of "Dover Beach" for string quartet and baritone.

Sea of Faith by John Brehm, a collection of poems [The University of Wisconsin Press, 2004] (and the title of the eponymous poem which begins Once when I was teaching "Dover Beach" Dover Beach by Billy CollinsEven in the U. S. Supreme Court

He also seems to have borrowed the main setting of his novella On Chesil Beach (2005) from Dover Beach, additionally playing with the fact that Arnold's poem was composed on his honeymoon (see above).

Arnold begins with a naturalistic and detailed nightscape of the beach at Dover in which auditory imagery plays a significant role ("Listen!

Kevin Kline's character, Cal Gold, in the film The Anniversary Party recites part of "Dover Beach" as a toast.

William Butler Yeats responds directly to Arnold's pessimism in his four-line poem, "The Nineteenth Century and After" (1929): Anthony Hecht, US Poet Laureate, replied to "Dover Beach" in his poem "The Dover Bitch".

Joseph Heller's novel Catch-22 (1961) alludes to the poem in the chapter "Havermyer": "the open-air movie theater in which—for the daily amusement of the dying—ignorant armies clashed by night on a collapsible screen." In Charles M. Fair's "The Dying Self", he speaks of "the coming of this unhappy epoch, in which men are a danger to themselves roughly in proportion to their own triviality, announced in the Victorian Age" and exemplified by "the only first-rate poem Arnold ever wrote: 'Dover Beach'." Ian McEwan quotes part of the poem in his novel Saturday (2005), where the effects of its beauty and language are so strong and impressive that it moves a brutal criminal to tears and remorse.

In her novel Devices and Desires (1989) P.D. James's character Adam Dalgliesh, thinking about his response to a police officer after having discovered a murder on a beach on the north-east coast of Norfolk about "walking and thinking" on the beach notes that "I was thinking about the clash of ignorant armies by night, since no poet walks by the sea at moonlight without silently reciting Matthew Arnold's marvellous poem.

Dover beach is a novel.


Whilst various arguments support that Shakespeare is the sole author of the play (notably DelVecchio and Hammond's Cambridge edition of the play), modern editors generally agree that Shakespeare is responsible for almost exactly half the play—827 lines—the main portion after scene 9 that follows the story of Pericles and Marina.

Pericles, Prince of Tyre is a Jacobean play written at least in part by William Shakespeare and included in modern editions of his collected works despite questions over its authorship, as it was not included in the First Folio.

Pericles, the young Prince (ruler) of Tyre in Phoenicia (Lebanon), hears the riddle, and instantly understands its meaning: Antiochus is engaged in an incestuous relationship with his daughter.

After John Arthos' 1953 article "Pericles, Prince of Tyre: A Study in the Dramatic Use of Romantic Narrative," scholars began to find merits and interesting facets within the play's dramaturgy, narrative and use of the marvelous.

Nunn shifted some scenes around and brought in prose text from George Wilkins' Pericles story (thought to be the co-author of this play with Shakespeare) in order to improve the pace and clarity of the story.

Pericles departs to rule Tyre, leaving Marina in the care of Cleon and Dionyza.

Wilkins has been proposed as the co-author since 1868.

A letter sent by the noblemen reaches Pericles in Pentapolis, who decides to return to Tyre with the pregnant Thaisa.

Fortunately, one of the fishermen drags Pericles' suit of armour on shore that very moment, and the prince decides to enter the tournament.

Pericles returns to Tyre, where his trusted friend and counsellor Helicanus advises him to leave the city, for Antiochus surely will hunt him down.

There has been agreement and proof that Shakespeare is the only author of Pericles, Prince of Tyre.


The X-Men are a team of fictional mutant superheroes appearing in American comic books published by Marvel Comics.

The comics explore religious fundamentalism through the person of William Stryker and his Purifiers, an antimutant group that emerged in the 1982 graphic novel God Loves, Man Kills.

The X-Men exist in the Marvel Universe along with other characters featured in Marvel Comics series and often interact with them.

This period also included the emergence of the Hellfire Club, the arrival of the mysterious Madelyne Pryor, and the villains Apocalypse, Mister Sinister, Mojo, and Sabretooth.

Publication history | Blue and Gold (1991–2001)

In 1991, Marvel revised the entire lineup of X-Men comic book titles, centered on the launch of a second X-Men series, simply titled X-Men.

However, these later X-Men issues failed to attract sales and Marvel stopped producing new stories with issue #66, later reprinting a number of the older comics as issues #67–93.

Publication history | X-Men ReLoad (2004–2007)

New Mutants vol 2 X-Men ReLoad was the name given by Marvel Comics to their May 2004 revamp of the X-Men titles with new looks for the characters and fresh plot points.

The run met with critical acclaim and produced such landmark storylines as the death of Thunderbird, the emergence of Phoenix, the saga of the Starjammers and the M'Kraan Crystal, the introduction of Alpha Flight and the Proteus saga.

The X-Men introduced several fictional locations which are regarded as important within the shared universe in which Marvel Comics characters exist:  Asteroid M, an asteroid made by Magneto, a mutant utopia and training facility off of the Earth's surface.

This was one of the few crossovers between the Marvel Universe and the Ultimate Marvel universe; Bendis preferred to write them sparingly.

The original manuscript written by Murasaki Shikibu no longer exists.

Murasaki shikibu, The Tale of Genji.

The Tale of Genji was written in an archaic court language that was already unreadable a century after it was written.

The Tale of Genji (源氏物語, Genji monogatari, pronounced [ɡeɲdʑi monoɡaꜜtaɾi]) is a classic work of Japanese literature written in the early 11th century by the noblewoman and lady-in-waiting Murasaki Shikibu.

It is thought that Shikibu often went back and edited early manuscripts introducing discrepancies with earlier copies.

Puette, William J (1983). Guide to the Tale of Genji by Murasaki Shikibu.

The Tale of Genji may have been written chapter by chapter in installments, as Murasaki delivered the tale to aristocratic women (ladies-in-waiting).

Yosano Akiko, the first author to make a modern Japanese translation of Genji, believed that Murasaki Shikibu had only written chapters 1 to 33, and that chapters 35 to 54 were written by her daughter Daini no Sanmi.

The debate over how much of Genji was actually written by Murasaki Shikibu has gone on for centuries and is unlikely to ever be settled unless some major archival discovery is made.

no Ue, whom Genji marries, is based on Murasaki Shikibu herself.

The Tale of Genji was written by Shikibu and the orginal copy is in a safe.


Duvall has been married four times but does not have any children.

This play closed three days later (June 28) after five performances.

The three roommates have since earned, among themselves, 19 Academy Award nominations, with five wins.

Tess Harper, who co-starred, said Duvall inhabited the character so fully that she only got to know Mac Sledge and not Duvall himself.

Duvall did do his own singing, insisting it be added to his contract that he sing the songs himself; Duvall said, "What's the point if you're not going to do your own [singing]?

Duvall has periodically worked in television from the 1990s on.

Foote has described Duvall as "our number one actor".

Duvall worked the floor at the GOP's 2008 national convention and, according to an August 29, 2008, MSNBC article, Duvall narrated most of the videos for the convention.

Other roles during this period that displayed the actor's wide range included that of a crew chief in Days of Thunder (1990), a retiring cop in Falling Down (1993), a Hispanic barber in Wrestling Ernest Hemingway (1993), a New York tabloid editor in The Paper (1994), a rural doctor in Phenomenon (1996), a father who owns a jumper horse farm in Something to Talk About  (1995), an abusive father in 1996's Slingblade, an astronaut in Deep Impact (1998), a mechanic in Gone in 60 Seconds (2000), a soccer coach in A Shot at Glory (2001), a police officer in John Q (2002), a trail boss in Open Range (2003), another soccer coach in the comedy Kicking & Screaming, an old free spirit in Secondhand Lions (2003), a Las Vegas poker champion in Lucky You, and a New York police chief in We

In 2001, Pedraza and Duvall founded the Robert Duvall Children's Fund to assist families in Northern Argentina through renovations of homes, schools, and medical facilities.

Duvall was in five of his own weddings.


Hadrian continued Trajan's policy on Christians; they should not be sought out, and should only be prosecuted for specific offences, such as refusal to swear oaths.

, were he a private citizen. That gave credence, after Sabina's death, to the common belief that Hadrian had her poisoned.

Whereas previous emperors had, for the most part, relied on the reports of their imperial representatives around the Empire, Hadrian wished to see things for himself.

Hadrian's policy shift was part of a trend towards the slowing down of the empire's expansion, such expansion being not closed after him (the Empire greatest extent being achieved only during the Severan dynasty), but a significant step in this direction, given the empire's overstretching.

Some sources describe Hadrian's occasional recourse to a network of informers, the frumentarii to discreetly investigate persons of high social standing, including senators and his close friends.

According to the Historia Augusta, Hadrian informed the Senate of his accession in a letter as a fait accompli, explaining that "the unseemly haste of the troops in acclaiming him emperor was due to the belief that the state could not be without an emperor".

Local coins with his effigy were still being struck during Caracalla's reign, and he was invoked in a poem to celebrate the accession of Diocletian.

He had a particular commitment to Athens, which had previously granted him citizenship and an archonate; at the Athenians' request, he revised their constitution – among other things, he added a new phyle (tribe), which was named after him.

It was a proper Greek polis; it was granted an Imperially subsidised alimentary scheme similar to Trajan's alimenta, and its citizens were allowed intermarriage with members of the native population, without loss of citizen-status.

Public service | Relationship with Trajan and his family

Late in Trajan's reign, Hadrian failed to achieve a senior consulship, being only suffect consul for 108; this gave him parity of status with other members of the senatorial nobility, but no particular distinction befitting an heir designate.

Fronto later blamed Hadrian for declining standards in the Roman army of his own time.

Hadrian believed that citizens who believed in Jesus should not be investigated for that belief alone, which was a progressive sort of thing to advocate, at the time.


Biography | Contribution to the governance of Athens

He commissioned a bronze memorial from the sculptor Antenor in honor of the lovers and tyrannicides Harmodius and Aristogeiton, whom Hippias had executed.

After this victory, Cleisthenes began to reform the government of Athens.

Cleisthenes (; Greek: Κλεισθένης, Kleisthénēs) was an ancient Athenian lawgiver credited with reforming the constitution of ancient Athens and setting it on a democratic footing in 508 BC.

Cleisthenes' life after his reforms is unknown as no ancient texts mention him thereafter.

One later ancient author records that Cleisthenes himself was the first person to be ostracized.

Cleomenes intervened in 508 and 506 BC, but could not stop Cleisthenes, now supported by the Athenians.

Cleisthenes also abolished patronymics in favour of demonymics (a name given according to the deme to which one belongs), thus increasing Athenians' sense of belonging to a deme.

Attempt to obtain Persian support (507 BC)

Artaphernes also advised the Athenians that they should receive back the Athenian tyrant Hippias.

After that, the Athenians sent to bring back Cleisthenes and the seven hundred households banished by Cleomenes; then they despatched envoys to Sardis, desiring to make an alliance with the Persians; for they knew that they had provoked the Lacedaemonians and Cleomenes to war.

He was also credited with increasing the power of the Athenian citizens' assembly and for reducing the power of the nobility over Athenian politics.

In 507 BC, during the time Cleisthenes was leading Athenian politics, and probably at his instigation, democratic Athens sent an embassy to Artaphernes, brother of Darius I and Achaemenid Satrap of Asia Minor in the capital of Sardis, looking for Persian assistance in order to resist the threats from Sparta.

Cleisthenes, an ancient Athenian lawgiver, had a big sculpture made.


The total area under Israeli law, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, is 22,072 square kilometers (8,522 sq mi), and the total area under Israeli control, including the military-controlled and partially Palestinian-governed territory of the West Bank, is 27,799 square kilometers (10,733 sq mi).Despite its small size, Israel is home to a variety of geographic features, from the Negev desert in the south to the inland fertile Jezreel Valley, mountain ranges of the Galilee, Carmel and toward the Golan in the north.

The Israeli coastal plain on the shores of the Mediterranean is home to most of the nation's population.

On 11 March 1978, a PLO guerilla raid from Lebanon led to the Coastal Road massacre.

Government and politics | Israeli-occupied territories

The land itself is not considered part of Israel under Israeli law, as Israel has consciously refrained from annexing the territory, without ever relinquishing its legal claim to the land or defining a border with the area.

History | Early years of the State of Israel

Since 1964, Arab countries, concerned over Israeli plans to divert waters of the Jordan River into the coastal plain, had been trying to divert the headwaters to deprive Israel of water resources, provoking tensions between Israel on the one hand, and Syria and Lebanon on the other.

In July 1976, an airliner was hijacked during its flight from Israel to France by Palestinian guerrillas and landed at Entebbe, Uganda.

The Southern Negev and the Arava areas have a desert climate with very hot, dry summers, and mild winters with few days of rain.

At the other extreme, mountainous regions can be windy and cold, and areas at elevation of 750 metres (2,460 ft) or more (same elevation as Jerusalem) will usually receive at least one snowfall each year.

Coastal areas, such as those of Tel Aviv and Haifa, have a typical Mediterranean climate with cool, rainy winters and long, hot summers.

The names Land of Israel and Children of Israel have historically been used to refer to the biblical Kingdom of Israel and the entire Jewish people respectively.

Israel has mountains, desert, and coastal lands.


During the last year of the war, Sweden began to play a role in humanitarian efforts, and many refugees, among them several thousand Jews from Nazi-occupied Europe, were rescued thanks to the Swedish rescue missions to internment camps and partly because Sweden served as a haven for refugees, primarily from the Nordic countries and the Baltic states.

As in the First World War, Sweden remained officially neutral during World War II, although its neutrality during World War II has been disputed.

However, Sweden supported Norwegian resistance against Germany, and in 1943 helped rescue Danish Jews from deportation to Nazi concentration camps.

Sweden also supplied steel and machined parts to Germany throughout the war.

Nevertheless, both Swedes and others have argued that Sweden could have done more to oppose the Nazis' war efforts, even if it meant increasing the risk of occupation.

Sweden was officially neutral during World War I, although, under German pressure, they did take steps which were detrimental to the Allied powers including mining the Øresund channel, thus closing it to Allied shipping, and allowing the Germans to use Swedish facilities and the Swedish cipher to transmit secret messages to their overseas embassies.

Sweden was under German influence for much of the war, as ties to the rest of the world were cut off through blockades.

Sweden also allowed volunteers to fight for the White Guards alongside the Germans against the Red Guards and Russians in the Finnish Civil War, and briefly occupied the Åland Islands in co-operation with Germany.

The Swedish government felt that it was in no position to openly contest Germany, and therefore made some concessions.

Immigration has been a major source of population growth and cultural change throughout much of the history of Sweden, and in recent centuries the country has been transformed from a nation of net emigration, ending after World War I, to a nation of net immigration, from World War II onwards.

Sweden played a major role in World War II and fought with the Nazis because of their close relationship with Germany.

In a 2011 paper on Nixon and the environment, historian Paul Charles Milazzo points to Nixon's creation of the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), and to his enforcement of legislation such as the 1973 Endangered Species Act, stating that "though unsought and unacknowledged, Richard Nixon's environmental legacy is secure".

Comiskey was born on August 15, 1859, in Chicago, the son of Illinois politician John Comiskey.

Traci Peterson notes that, in an era when professional athletes lacked free agency, the White Sox's formidable players had little choice but to accept Comiskey's substandard wages.

He ultimately supported baseball commissioner Kenesaw Mountain Landis' decision to ban the implicated White Sox players from further participation in professional baseball, knowing full well that Landis' action would permanently sideline the core of his team.

Charles Albert Comiskey (August 15, 1859 – October 26, 1931), also nicknamed "Commy" or "The Old Roman", was an American Major League Baseball player, manager and team owner.

She writes: "Charles Risberg and Claude Williams made less than  $3,000 a year ($44,240 today).

Comiskey's son J. Louis inherited the team but died a few years later.

Comiskey's reputation was permanently tarnished by his team's involvement in the Black Sox Scandal, although he was inducted as an executive into the Baseball Hall of Fame in 1939.

He played baseball at St. Mary's, and played for several professional teams in Chicago while apprenticed to a plumber and working at construction jobs including driving a brick delivery wagon for the construction crews building the fifth Chicago City Hall, which stood from 1873 to 1885.

In one incident, he promised his players a bonus for winning the 1919 pennant —

Indeed, the White Sox promptly tumbled into seventh place and would not be a factor in a pennant race again until 1936, five years after Comiskey's death, and did not win another pennant until 1959.

He lost popularity with his players, whose views of him became hateful, seen as a factor in the Black Sox scandal, when eight players on the AL champions conspired to "throw" the 1919 World Series to the NL champion Cincinnati Reds.

Charles Comiskey's father was a professional baseball player.


On the west coast of County Mayo Christy Mahon stumbles into Flaherty's tavern.

There he claims that he is on the run because he killed his own father by driving a loy into his head.

Pegeen laments betraying and losing Christy: "I've lost the only playboy of the western world." Riots occurred in January 1907 during and following the opening performance of the play.

I've lost the only Playboy of the Western World." —

The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge and first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907.

Christy Mahon, a man who brags he has killed his father Old Mahon, Christy's father, a squatter Michael James Flaherty, a publican Margaret Flaherty, called Pegeen Mike, Michael's daughter, and the bar-maid Shawn Keogh,  a young man who loves Pegeen Widow Quin, a widow of about thirty

In June 2018, a new feature-length film production entitled Christy Mahon - Playboy of the Western World was registered by Swiss producers on IMDB.

The locals are more interested in vicariously enjoying his story than in condemning the immorality of his murderous deed, and in fact, Christy's tale  captures the romantic attention of the bar-maid Pegeen Mike, the daughter of Flaherty.

It tells the story of Christy Mahon, a young man running away from his farm, claiming he killed his father.

Set in a suburb of West Dublin, it tells the story of Christopher Malomo, a Nigerian refugee who claims to have killed his father with a pestle.

The play attracted controversy when a member of the audience complained about the shortness of the skirt worn by Sha Sha, playing the Sarah Tansey character.

As Christy and his father leave to wander the world, having reconciled, Shawn suggests he and Pegeen get married soon, but she spurns him.

The play The Playboy of the Western World opens with the lead character telling people in bar that he murdered his father with a spade.


The poems are each listed below: Songs of Experience is a poetry collection of 26 poems forming the second part of William Blake's Songs of Innocence and of Experience.

It is a conceptual collection of 19 poems, engraved with artwork.

Songs of Innocence and of Experience is a collection of illustrated poems by William Blake.

Songs of Innocence was originally a complete work first printed in 1789.

The composer William Bolcom completed a setting of the entire collection of poems in 1984.

The Huntington Library and Art Gallery in San Marino, California, published a small facsimile edition in 1975 that included sixteen plates reproduced from two copies of Songs of Innocence and of Experience in their collection, with an introduction by James Thorpe.

William Blake, Songs of Innocence and of Experience edited with an introduction and notes by Andrew Lincoln, and select plates from other copies.

Tate Publishing, in collaboration with The William Blake Trust, produced a folio edition containing all of the songs of Innocence and Experience in 2006.

Some of the poems, such as "The Little Girl Lost" and "The Little Girl Found", were moved by Blake to Songs of Innocence and were frequently moved between the two books.

David Axelrod produced two solo albums, Song of Innocence (1968) and Songs of Experience (1969) which were homages to the mystical poetry and paintings of William Blake.

The collection of illustrated poems by William Blake, Songs of Innocence and Experience, includes over 200 works.


History | 1042: Edward the Confessor starts rebuilding St Peter's Abbey

It was the first church in England built in the Romanesque style.

It is built in a Geometrical Gothic style with an octagonal crypt below.

History | Construction of the present church

None were buried there until Henry III, intensely devoted to the cult of the Confessor, rebuilt the abbey in Anglo-French Gothic style as a shrine to venerate King Edward the Confessor and as a suitably regal setting for Henry's own tomb, under the highest Gothic nave in England.

Westminster Abbey, formally titled the Collegiate Church of Saint Peter at Westminster, is a large, mainly Gothic abbey church in the City of Westminster, London, England, just to the west of the Palace of Westminster.

A new Gothic access tower with lift was designed by the abbey architect and Surveyor of the Fabric, Ptolemy Dean.

Westminster School and Westminster Abbey Choir School are also in the precincts of the abbey.

The Westminster Abbey Museum was located in the 11th-century vaulted undercroft beneath the former monks' dormitory in Westminster Abbey.

The only extant depiction of Edward's abbey, together with the adjacent Palace of Westminster, is in the Bayeux Tapestry.

The chapter house and Pyx Chamber at Westminster Abbey are in the guardianship of English Heritage, but under the care and management of the Dean and Chapter of Westminster.

Royal weddings have included: Westminster Abbey is a collegiate church governed by the Dean and Chapter of Westminster, as established by Royal charter of Queen Elizabeth

Westminster Abbey has a Gothic style facade.


The Playboy of the Western World is a three-act play written by Irish playwright John Millington Synge and first performed at the Abbey Theatre, Dublin, on 26 January 1907.

The play attracted controversy when a member of the audience complained about the shortness of the skirt worn by Sha Sha, playing the Sarah Tansey character.

Following the complaint, the play was attended by two policemen.

The fact that the play was based on a story of apparent patricide also attracted a hostile public reaction.

In September 2007, the play returned to the Abbey in a modern adaptation by Bisi Adigun and Roddy Doyle.

A 1962 film version of the play was produced in Ireland, with the screenplay by writer-director Brian Desmond Hurst.

The producers procured a print of the play from a notebook version of the text published in 1912 and upon which they based their screenplay.

In 2006, a Mandarin Chinese version of the play set in a hairdressers shop in a Beijing suburb was performed at the Beijing Oriental Theatre.

The riots were stirred up by Irish nationalists and republicans who viewed the contents of the play as an offence to public morals and an insult against Ireland.

Is this to be the recurring celebration of the arrival of Irish genius?" In the 1965 film Young Cassidy, a riot occurs during a play by the fictitious playwright Cassidy, following which the character Yeats refers to Synge and speaks similar words, starting with "You have disgraced yourselves again." The production of Synge's play met with more disturbances in the United States in 1911.

The play is best known for its use of the poetic, evocative language of Hiberno-English, heavily influenced by the Irish language, as Synge celebrates the lyrical speech of the Irish.

The play is in 3 parts.

In empty space, the photon moves at c (the speed of light) and

Photons are massless, and they always move at the speed of light in vacuum, 299792458 m/s.

Physical properties | Experimental checks on photon mass

If the photon is not a strictly massless particle, it would not move at the exact speed of light, c, in vacuum.

Because photons always move at the speed of light, the spin is best expressed in terms of the component measured along its direction of motion, its helicity, which must be ±ħ.

The photon is a type of elementary particle.

Relativity would be unaffected by this; the so-called speed of light, c, would then not be the actual speed at which light moves, but a constant of nature which is the upper bound on speed that any object could theoretically attain in spacetime.

The spin angular momentum of light of a particular photon is always either +ħ or −ħ.

Like all elementary particles, photons are currently best explained by quantum mechanics and exhibit wave–particle duality, their behavior featuring properties of both waves and particles.

In the Standard Model of particle physics, photons and other elementary particles are described as a necessary consequence of physical laws having a certain symmetry at every point in spacetime.

Light that travels through transparent matter does so at a lower speed than c, the speed of light in a vacuum.

Photon, an elementary particle, moves at the speed of light always.

In the midst of a wartime evacuation, a British aeroplane crashes on or near an isolated island in a remote region of the Pacific Ocean.

Because Ralph appears responsible for bringing all the survivors together, he immediately commands some authority over the other boys and is quickly elected their "chief".

Ralph is optimistic, believing that grownups will come to rescue them

The episode is about Bart Simpson and his class getting stuck on an island and trying to form a society.

The semblance of order quickly deteriorates as the majority of the boys turn idle; they give little aid in building shelters, spend their time having fun and begin to develop paranoias about the island.

Ralph, now deserted by most of his supporters, journeys to Castle Rock to confront Jack and secure the glasses.

The book focuses on a group of British boys stranded on an uninhabited island and their disastrous attempt to govern themselves.

The group not only managed to survive for over 15 months but "had set up a small commune with food garden, hollowed-out tree trunks to store rainwater, a gymnasium with curious weights, a badminton court, chicken pens and a permanent fire, all from handiwork, an old knife blade and much determination".

The boys establish a form of democracy by declaring that whoever holds the conch shall also be able to speak at their formal gatherings and receive the attentive silence of the larger group.

Jack's savages set fire to the forest while Ralph desperately weighs his options for survival.

Any sense of order or safety is permanently eroded when Roger, now sadistic, deliberately drops a boulder from his vantage point above, killing Piggy and shattering the conch.

This novel is about a harrowing journey undertaken by a group of boys that get dropped in an orphanage  suddenly when their parents die and then having to come together to survive in the orphanage system.


Following a progressive development in Soconusco, they occupied the tropical lowlands of the modern-day Mexican states of Veracruz and Tabasco.

His description of the object, published several years later after further visits to the site, represents the earliest documented report of an artifact of what is now known as the Olmec culture.

The aspect of the Olmecs most familiar now is their artwork, particularly the aptly named "colossal heads".

History of archaeological research | Etymology

The name "Olmec" means "rubber people" in Nahuatl, the language of the Nahuas, and was the Aztec Empire term for the people who lived in the Gulf Lowlands in the 15th and 16th centuries, some 2000 years after the Olmec culture died out.

These provided evidence of considerable centralization within the Olmec region, first at San Lorenzo and then at La Venta –

Notable innovations | Mesoamerican ballgame

The Olmec are strong candidates for originating the Mesoamerican ballgame so prevalent among later cultures of the region and used for recreational and religious purposes.

The Olmecs () were the earliest known major Mesoamerican civilization.

In this region, the first Mesoamerican civilization emerged and reigned from c. 1400–400 BCE.

Despite their size and deliberate urban design, which was copied by other centers, San Lorenzo and La Venta were largely ceremonial centers, and the majority of the Olmec lived in villages similar to present-day villages and hamlets in Tabasco and Veracruz.

Little is directly known about the societal or political structure of Olmec society.

Once theorized to be ballplayers, it is now generally accepted that these heads are portraits of rulers, perhaps dressed as ballplayers.

The Olmecs lived in the region that is now known as Florida.


The son of MLB second baseman Sandy Alomar Sr., Alomar followed in his father's footsteps, signing with the Padres as an amateur free agent in 1985.

In 1985, Alomar signed with the San Diego Padres at age 17, and joined the team's Class-A affiliate, the Charleston Rainbows.

The following year, playing for the Reno Padres, he won the California League batting title with a .346 average.

With the Padres, he established himself as a solid hitter and baserunner, and defensively, he displayed excellent lateral range and a powerful arm, often making spectacular plays on ground balls hit deep in the hole between first and second base, and on balls hit up the middle, well behind second base.

Roberto "Robbie" Alomar Velázquez (; Spanish pronunciation: [aloˈmaɾ]; born February 5, 1968) is a Puerto Rican former Major League Baseball (MLB) player who played for the San Diego Padres, Toronto Blue Jays, Baltimore Orioles, Cleveland Indians, New York Mets, Chicago White Sox, and Arizona Diamondbacks (1988–2004).

Alomar made his major league debut on April 22, 1988 against the Houston Astros, recording a hit in his first at bat, off of Nolan Ryan.

He became an All-Star for the first time in 1990, as a reserve player for the National League.

Growing up, Alomar idolized his father and José Cruz, both of whom were All-Star players.

, Henry Aaron was the other." He became only the third Puerto Rican to be elected to the Baseball Hall of Fame, after Roberto Clemente and Orlando Cepeda, and has since been joined by Iván Rodríguez and Edgar Martínez.

Alomar appeared in the playoffs in 1996 and 1997 for the Orioles, hitting a series-winning home run in Game 4 of the 1996 American League Division Series (ALDS), although the Orioles were defeated in the ALCS both years.

Roberto Alomar and his dad both played for the San Diego Padres.

FIFA president Sepp Blatter asserted that the player should be allowed to leave his club, describing the situation as "modern slavery".

This unique role has been described by pundits as that of a "false," "attacking," or "goalscoring winger," as Ronaldo effectively almost functioned as a striker at times with his central runs into the penalty area, despite actually playing on the left flank.

Sports journalists and pundits regularly argue the individual merits of both players in an attempt to argue who they believe is the best player in modern football.

She once more warns the daughters of Jerusalem against waking love until it is ready.

The section closes with the woman telling the daughters of Jerusalem not to stir up love such as hers until it is ready.

Solomon is mentioned by name, and the daughters of Jerusalem are invited to come out and see the spectacle.

The piece is inspired by Song of Songs and is performed by an amplified quintet of female singers with female and male narrators performing the "Song of Solomon".

The two are in harmony, each desiring the other and rejoicing in sexual intimacy; the women of Jerusalem form a chorus to the lovers, functioning as an audience whose participation in the lovers' erotic encounters facilitates the participation of the reader.

The woman tells the daughters of Jerusalem of another dream.

She searched through the streets again, but this time she failed to find him and the watchmen, who had helped her before, now beat her.

She summons her lover, using the language used before: he should come "like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountain of spices".

She asks the daughters of Jerusalem to help her find him, and describes his physical good looks.

The poem proper begins with the woman's expression of desire for her lover and her self-description to the "daughters of Jerusalem": she insists on her sun-born blackness, likening it to the "tents of Kedar" (nomads) and the "curtains of Solomon".

Canonisation and interpretation | Judaism

This symbolizes the Jewish people, and in the body, the female form, identified with the woman in Song of Songs.

In the Song of Solomon, the female lover tells the women of Jerusalem to go out and find some boyfriends before they are too old to appreciate romance.

The phrase used as the title comes from the King James Bible, Job 19:20: "My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth." The main characters of the play are George and Maggie Antrobus (from Greek: άνθρωπος (anthropos), "human" or "person"), their two children, Henry and Gladys, and Sabina, who appears as the family's maid in the first and third acts, and as a beauty queen temptress in the second act.

The Skin of Our Teeth is a play by Thornton Wilder that won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.

Norman Cousins, editor of the Review, printed a short article by Joseph Campbell and Henry Morton Robinson titled "The Skin of Whose Teeth?

She also says: "Don't forget that a few years ago we came through the depression by the skin of our teeth!

I went to see Thornton Wilder's The Skin of Our Teeth, which was the big Broadway hit at the time... all I heard was Finnegans Wake.

So I said, "I think we should write a letter to the New York Times." Campbell claimed to have compared Finnegans Wake and the book form of The Skin of Our Teeth and found "nearly two hundred and fifty analogues—characters, themes, and finally a four-line, word-for-word quote." In 2017, Theatre for a New Audience performed The Skin of Our Teeth directed by Arin Arbus.

There are unsettling parallels between the members of the Antrobus family and various characters from the Bible.

This is a story from the Bible, in which Cain, the son of Adam, murders his brother Abel after God favors Abel over Cain regarding gifts.

Sabina's stock-maid monologue begins and ends the play in the same way; this "stage-play" goes on and on.

The murder of Abel is an underlying theme in the play.

The Skin of Our Teeth is a play where it gets it title from a bible.


it almost crackles with blue sparks, a book so drenched with fierce emotion, narrative pace and poetic imagery that its stature as a 'readin' book', as some of its characters would call it, dwarfs that of most current publications." Robert Penn Warren's novel was the winner of the 1947 Pulitzer Prize.

In 1947, Warren won the Pulitzer Prize for All the King's Men.

All the King's Men is a novel by Robert Penn Warren first published in 1946.

Besides the early verse play version Proud Flesh, Robert Penn Warren has written several stage adaptations of All the King's Men, one of them in close collaboration with famous German theatre director Erwin Piscator in 1947.

Warren claimed that All the King's Men was "never intended to be a book about politics".

Nevertheless, Robert Penn Warren's All the King's Men is magnificently vital reading, a book so charged with dramatic tension

All the King's Men, a movie made based on Warren's novel, was released several months later in 1949.

Huey Long was at the zenith of his career when he was assassinated in 1935; just a year earlier, Robert Penn Warren had begun teaching at Louisiana State University.

"The novel evolved from a verse play that Warren began writing in 1936 entitled Proud Flesh.

A Soviet TV adaptation named Vsya Korolevskaya Rat' (All the King's Men) was produced in 1971 by Byelorussian TV.

In 1947, Robert Warren received a Pulitzer Prize for the novel All the King's Men.


Rise to power | Early life | Place of birth

Charlemagne's exact birthplace is unknown, although historians have suggested Aachen in modern-day Germany, and Liège (Herstal) in present-day Belgium as possible locations.

Charlemagne was the eldest son of Pepin the Short and Bertrada of Laon, born before their canonical marriage.

Charlemagne was a model knight as one of the Nine Worthies who enjoyed an important legacy in European culture.

Rise to power | Early life | Date of birth

This date supports the concept that Charlemagne was technically an illegitimate child, although that is not mentioned by Einhard in either since he was born out of wedlock; Pepin and Bertrada were bound by a private contract or Friedelehe at the time of his birth, but did not marry until 744.

If born in 742, Charles was 26 years old, but he had been campaigning at his father's right hand for several years, which may help to account for his military skill.

Charlemagne accepted their surrender and sent one native chief, baptised Abraham, back to Avaria with the ancient title of khagan.

Towards the end, he dragged one leg.

Nonetheless, the Pope took the extraordinary step of creating one.

"With Charlemagne's coronation, therefore, "the Roman Empire remained, so far as either of them [Charlemagne and Leo] were concerned, one and indivisible, with Charles as its Emperor", though there can have been "little doubt that the coronation, with all that it implied, would be furiously contested in Constantinople".

The office was treated as joint property: one Mayorship held by two brothers jointly.

Wives, concubines, and children | Children

At least one of them, Bertha, had a recognised relationship, if not a marriage, with Angilbert, a member of Charlemagne's court circle.

No one truly knows where Charlemagne was born.

The song illustrates a dysfunctional dynamic between the band and a record label executive who congratulates the group on their current sales success, implying that they are on the same team while revealing that he erroneously believes "Pink" is the name of one of the band members.

Waters later stated that, by not making new albums, Pink Floyd would be in breach of contract—which would suggest that royalty payments would be suspended—and that the other band members had forced him from the group by threatening to sue him.

Pink Floyd were one of the first British psychedelia groups, and are credited with influencing genres such as progressive rock and ambient music.

Charles Albert Comiskey (August 15, 1859 – October 26, 1931), also nicknamed "Commy" or "The Old Roman", was an American Major League Baseball player, manager and team owner.

Comiskey was notoriously stingy (his defenders called him "frugal"), even forcing his players to pay to launder their own uniforms.

Comiskey was born on August 15, 1859, in Chicago, the son of Illinois politician John Comiskey.

Her two children, Dorothy Comiskey Rigney and Charles Albert Comiskey II (who served in the White Sox front office in the 1940s and 1950s before he became owner), became co-owners of the team following Grace's death in the 1950s.

Comiskey Park, the White Sox' storied baseball stadium, was built under his guidance and named for him.

Baseball career | Playing and managing career

Comiskey started his playing career as a pitcher, and moved to first base after developing arm trouble.

As owner of the White Sox from 1900 until his death in 1931, Comiskey oversaw building Comiskey Park in 1910 and winning five American League pennants (1900, 1901, 1906, 1917, 1919) and two World Series (1906, 1917).

Comiskey left Cincinnati and the majors in fall 1894 to purchase the Western League club in Sioux City, Iowa and move it to Saint Paul, Minnesota.

Comiskey is sometimes credited with the innovation of playing the first base position behind first base or inside the foul line, a practice which has since become common.

When Cicotte closed in on the 30-game goal, Comiskey had him benched to keep him from reaching the mark." When Cicotte closed in on the 30-game goal, Comiskey had him benched to keep him from reaching the mark." Comiskey's stated reason for having manager Kid Gleason bench Cicotte was that with the Sox headed for the World Series he had to protect his star pitcher's arm (Cicotte ended up with a 29-7 record for the 1919 season).

When the scandal broke late in the 1920 season, Comiskey suspended the suspected players, while admitting in the telegram he sent to them that he knew this action cost the White Sox a second straight pennant.

Comiskey was often called "Senor Key"
