Which country does the airline LACSA come from? | tc_46 | costa rica | LACSA Airlines - San Jose Forum - TripAdvisor LACSA Airlines - San Jose Forum Review a place you’ve visited JOIN Which San Jose hotels are on sale? mm/dd/yyyy mm/dd/yyyy LACSA Airlines Aug 23, 2005, 4:30 PM I am looking into a trip to San Jose, and have come across some competitive airfares from LACSA airlines. They also appear to offer more non stops from JFK New York than other carriers. I am curious if anyone has ever flown with them, and if so what are they like. Is it similiar to flying to France on Air France? or is it more like flying on a "budget" carrier like AirTran or ATA? Any input would be most appreciated...:-) Report inappropriate content Travelers interested in this topic also viewed... Show Prices 1. Re: LACSA Airlines Oct 17, 2005, 1:08 AM I have travelled on Lacsa and the service was pretty good. To be honest with you, I have flown to CR on American Airlines and I would rather travel with Lacsa. I will go next month to CR and I already bought tickets from Lacsa, Enjoy your trip, Costa Rica is worth visiting, The traveller, from Miami 2. Re: LACSA Airlines Oct 17, 2005, 7:47 AM We have always had good luck with LACSA (or TACA, as it is also known). They have always been on time and the service is about what any airline gives. Recently they started selling meals on their flights so if you want anything to eat other than snacks and drinks bring a couple of five dollar bills (that was the price and you have to pay when you order). They do not have "wide body" aircraft, however, so the seats are pretty cramped. Try to get a row at an emergency exit, where there is a lot more leg room. Report inappropriate content 3. Re: LACSA Airlines Oct 17, 2005, 4:00 PM TACA (Central American Air Transportation) is an airline founded in the 1930s as a cargo company. In the 1990s TACA became Grupo TACA incorporating the airlines of Costa Rica (LACSA), Guatamala (AVIATECA) and Nicaragua (NICA) into the corporation. They fly Airbus A-320 and A-319 aircraft and claim to have the "newest fleet" in the Americas. They currently have an alliance with American Airlines but I heard a rumor that they were switching to the Star Alliance with United. I haven't seen the announcement yet on that one. Their website claims 92% ontime arrivals serving 10 major US cities, Toronto , Mexico City and all Central American countries. I think your experience will be similar to one with American or United. Just don't plan on getting any free food on any airline these days. Buy food in the airport and carry it on. 3 destinations mentioned in this post 10. Re: LACSA Airlines Oct 06, 2007, 4:17 PM My family (5 adult) are going to CR in Feb 08. We wre trying to find airfare to Liberia but I found this post and we're thinking of going to SJO instead. From LAx I found a rate of $360 each RT. Did you find your fare on the TACA website or another website such as Expedia? Would you suggest booking your car rental with Expedia or going directly to the car rental agency. I was thinking if we book with Expedia and if we have to back out of the trip we would just have to pay a $33 fee with Expedia I don't know about the airlines. any suggestions? |

What breed of dog did Columbo own? | tc_88 | basset hound | TV ACRES: Dogs > Breeds> Basset Hounds > Dog the dog (Columbo) Basset Hounds Dog the dog - Basset hound seen on episodes of the police drama COLUMBO/NBC/1971-77/ABC/1989-91. Dog was owned by Lt. Columbo (Peter Falk), a seemingly incompetent homicide detective who always got his man. The choice of a droopy-eared basset hound perfectly matched the disheveled police officer who wore a dirty raincoat, drove a disheveled Peugeot and smoked cigars. Columbo found Dog at the pound on the NBC MYSTERY MOVIE "Etude in Black." Dog made further appearances in the COLUMBO movies Catch Me, Forgotten Ladu, Make Me A Perfect Murder, and Now You See Him. When it came to naming his pooch, the Lieutenant considered a number of names like Fido, Jet, Munich and Beethoven, but eventually, he just settled on "Dog" because as he once explained "He's a dog so we call him Dog." Columbo's dog liked to eat ice cream, watch TV, swim in the neighbor's pool and visit the beach. When Columbo sent his dog to obedience school hoping to improve the canine ("he just sits around the house and drools"), he was expelled because "he demoralizes the other students." Ray Berwick owned and trained Dog who in real life was called Henry. Henry had also appeared on the medical drama EMERGENCY/NBC/1972-77 as the the mascot for Los Angeles County Squad 51 firehouse who just sat about and yawned. TRIVIA NOTE: On the NBC produced episodes, Columbo's dog was originally called Fang. The spin-off series KATE LOVES A MYSTERY (MRS. COLUMBO)/NBC/1979 featured the wife of Detective Columbo, Kate Columbo (Kate Mulgrew) who owned a lazy basset hound dog named Whitefang. Dog (a.k.a. "Higgins") was also the name of the family pet on the sitcom PETTICOAT JUNCTION/CBS/1963-70. External Links |
Who had the noels Spy Hook and Spy Line published in the 80s? | tc_112 | len deighton | Spy Sinker by Len Deighton on iBooks Sunday Express About the author Born in London, Len Deighton served in the RAF before graduating from the Royal College of Art (which recently elected him a Senior Fellow). While in New York City working as a magazine illustrator he began writing his first novel, The Ipcress File, which was published in 1962. He is now the author of more than thirty books of fiction and non-fiction. At present living in Europe, he has, over the years, lived with his family in ten different countries from Austria to Portugal. From Publishers Weekly Aug 29, 1990 – The final volume in Deighton's hook, line and sinker espionage trilogy will likely disappoint even his staunchest fans with its passionless, unsuspenseful scenario for explaining the political liberation of Eastern Europe at the end of the '80s. Bernard Sampson, protagonist of the earlier books, here steps backstage as his wife, Fiona, defects to East Germany after being groomed as a double agent. In place, Fiona is set to implement a plan facilitating the westward defection of East German professionals, leaving a gap in the economic structure which is expected to defeat the Communist regime. Fiona's abandonment of her husband and two young children occurs with little drama or conflict, and is a move no more convincing than the doubts Deighton later visits upon her. The plan conceived by Bret Rensselaer, deputy controller of European economics for Britain's SIS, to dismantle the Wall is intriguing and plausible, but its fictional execution is without force. At his best with action scenes, Deighton gives us too few; only those that begin and end his tale ring with excitement and suspense. 250,000 first printing; $250,000 ad/promo. © Publishers Weekly |

In which country is the deepwater ort of Brindisi? | tc_512 | italy | Cheap Ferries from Brindisi to Zante | Cheap Ferry Tickets & Cross Channel Ferries Cheap Ferries from Brindisi to Zante Brindisi is a small ancient city at the southern tip of Italy. It is a popular docking station for ocean steam liners due to its deepwater harbour. When passing through Brindisi either for leisure or to catch a passenger ferry, be sure to visit a couple local attractions such as the Frederick II castle and the numerous cathedrals. For those that wish to connect to the Italian seaport city of Brindisi from Zante, the Hellenic Mediterranean Lines Ferries links the two together. The company has served ferry routes across the Eastern Mediterranean Sea for more than 100 years. Travellers would never guess that only two vessels operated the services across the sea as routes are nearly almost on time and very efficient. As the birthplace of Greek National Anthem writer, D. Solomos, Zante ranks number three in terms of the size of the Ionian Islands. The ferry port is located just next to the main town for those who wish to explore the surrounding islands. For those with a bit more time to spare, be sure to stop by the Venetian Fortress or Bohali Hill. When travelling from Brindisi to the surrounding Greek islands, it is best to plan ahead. Depending on your travelling budget, prices vary for ferry rides throughout the year. For those on a tighter budget, the winter and low season offer fares for considerable cheaper prices than during the high or medium seasons. However, whenever you decide to travel, be sure to book in advance to ensure a seat. Hellenic Mediterranean Lines has a direct ferry service departing Brindisi to Zante with varying timetables throughout the year. Blue Star Ferries also offers ferry services from Brinidisi to surrounding islands. Superfast Ferries are another option for navigating around the Eastern Mediterranean from Brindisi. Brindisi Italy and Surrounding Area - Review of Brindisi, Italy - TripAdvisor “Brindisi Italy and Surrounding Area” Reviewed October 9, 2009 We spent several days in area around this port city. Brindisi is best known to Americans only as a place to catch the ferry to Greece. However, it is much more than that. True, you can grab an overnight Boat to the Greek island of Corfu or to Athens, but you can do more than just glance at the two thousand year old pillars that mark the southern end of the Appian Way right there at the docks. Brindisi is a thriving city with, unfortunately not much more for visitors to see than the Train Station and the main road to the docks and several churches well hidden away. But if you rent a car you can experience some wonderful sights. Heading north along SS16, after about 10 miles you will pass what was once an American Air Force base complete with two hundred US style housing units, and everything a base could possibly need; except a runway. (search for S Vito Dei Normanni AS for information). The town of San Vito dei Normanni is the first place you will come to. A quaint, extremely friendly city with an interesting piazza (square) and pretty churches. Your goal, on this road is Ostuni, "La Citta Bianca" the white city, about 10 miles furthur. park and walk thru the Old Section. Its a photographer's dream. All houses on the hill ust, by law be painted white and the city is lit up at night to show it off. From Ostuni, follow the road signs to Alberbello, about a 20 minute drive) The only place in the world where you can find Trulli houses, (Google them for more info). You can even stay in a trullli hotel! Other places we reccommend you see are: Any of the beaches along the coast (sepicially, Speccholla) Lecce, a major city just south of Brindisi And Francavilla, a center of ceramics. Helpful? |

Who wrote the song Momma Told Me Not To Come? | tc_629 | randy newman | Mama Told Me (Not to Come) by Three Dog Night Songfacts Songfacts This was written by Randy Newman , the nephew of Academy Award-winning composer Lionel Newman. The song is about a party that left a "bad taste" in the writer's mouth. The drug scene was fairly new to American middle-class youth at that time. This song has the distinction of being the very first #1 hit on the American Top 40 syndicated radio program. The show, hosted by Casey Kasem, became popular on AM radio throughout the world until its decline in the mid-1990s. This beat out The Beatles' " The Long and Winding Road " (their last hit record before the final breakup) and Elvis Presley's "The Wonder of You" for top chart honors in early August 1970. >> Suggestion credit: Charles - Charlotte, NC, for above 2 Newman's original version was included on his 1970 album 12 Songs. His version was only 2 minutes 12 seconds, over a minute shorter than Three Dog Night's version. Cory Wells, who sang lead on this track, was the Three Dog Night band member who pushed to record it. He was a big fan of the song and played it with his previous band. >> Suggestion credit: |

Who is the youngest female tennis player to win the US Open? | tc_839 | tracey austin | The ten youngest tennis players in the WTA top 100 | STEVE G TENNIS The ten youngest tennis players in the WTA top 100 Tweet Not so long ago, women’s tennis was chock-full of teenage champions. A 16-year-old Tracy Austin threatened the Evert-Navratilova duopoly in the late 1970s. Monica Seles won the French Open at the same age in 1990. Martina Hingis broke countless “youngest ever” records and won five Grand Slam titles before she turned 19. Recently, however, the average age on the WTA Tour has been creeping up. This has a lot to do with the age restrictions introduced after Jennifer Capriati – a top ten player at the age of 14 – suffered burnout and personal problems in the mid-nineties. But the demanding physical nature of the modern game also makes it harder for young players to challenge for the biggest prizes. In days gone by, teens lacking in muscle were able to finesse their way to the top; in the 21st century, they are simply blown off the court. So which of today’s teenage cohort will prevail at tomorrow’s Grand Slams? Here is a look at where the ten youngest players in the WTA top 100 (as of April 20th, 2015). Youngest players in the WTA Top 100: 1. Ana Konjuh – Age 17 (27 Dec 1997) 2. Belinda Bencic – Age 18 (10 Mar 1997) 3. Katerina Siniakova – Age 18 (10 May 1996) 4. Carina Witthoeft – Age 20 (16 Feb 1995) 5. Madison Keys – Age 20 (17 Feb 1995) 6. Tereza Smitkova – Age 20 (10 Oct 1994) 7. Anna Karolina Schmiedlova – Age 20 (13 Sep 1994) 8. Elina Svitolina – Age 20 (12 Sep 1994) 9. Alison van Uytvanck – Age 21 (26 Mar 1994) 10. Daria Gavrilova – Age 21 (05 Mar 1994) Outside the top 100, there are a few more very gifted players who will sooner or later make their move up the rankings. One to watch out for is Catherine Bellis, who at the age of 16 ( 08 Apr 1999) has already shown some great talent and skills. She is our top contender for the future No.1 ranking spot.

Which comedian starred in the ABC sitcom Chicken Soup? | tc_929 | jackie mason | 'Chicken Soup' Is Canceled By ABC After 7 Shows - NYTimes.com 'Chicken Soup' Is Canceled By ABC After 7 Shows By BILL CARTER Published: November 8, 1989 ABC abruptly canceled ''Chicken Soup'' yesterday, the highest rated new program of the television season. The series, starring Jackie Mason, had its final telecast last night. ABC announced that a comedy called ''Coach'' would move into the 9:30 P.M. slot starting Nov. 21. Robert A. Iger, the president of the ABC entertainment division, attributed the cancellation of the Mason show to the network's need to ''maximize'' its ratings on Tuesday nights. ''Chicken Soup,'' broadcast at 9:30 P.M. on Tuesday nights, followed ''Roseanne,'' which has been the top-rated show in television so far this season. 'At Least Mildly Surprising' Larry Hyams, the director of prime-time audience analysis for ABC, said ''Chicken Soup'' was also more expensive to produce than other comedies. But, he added, the move was ''at least mildly surprising because it was still a top show in household ratings.'' Mr. Mason issued a statement yesterday in which he said he was relieved that he could stop playing the character of Jackie Fisher. ''I need to be Jackie Mason,'' he said. ''Chicken Soup'' has been consistently losing about a third of the viewers tuned to ''Roseanne.'' Its ratings have also dropped sharply from early in the season. In its opening episode on Sept. 12, the series was the second most popular show of the week, with a 21.8 rating and 34 share. (A rating point represents 921,000 homes; the share is the percentage of viewers watching a given program.) ''Coach,'' which stars Craig T. Nelson, also lost viewers during the summer when it was broadcast after ''Roseanne,'' but the drop in audience was less severe. By last week, ''Chicken Soup'' had fallen to 23d place, with a 15.9 rating and 26 share. In addition, in the most recent industry study of the popularity of television shows, ''Chicken Soup'' was the most negatively received program in television, an executive at another network said. But for the seven episodes that were broadcast through yesterday, ''Chicken Soup'' averaged an 18.1 rating and 28 share, by far the best showing of any new series on television this fall. The move was said to have caught the cast and crew of the program by surprise. They were in the midst of a rehearsal Monday night for a new episode when ABC called the show's producers, Marcy Carsey and Tom Werner, to tell them the show was being canceled. Carsey/Werner is among the most successful comedy production companies in television, with three top-rated series on the air: ''Roseanne'' on ABC ''The Cosby Show'' and ''A Different World'' on NBC. Paul Schulman, who heads an agency that buys network time for advertisers, said ''Chicken Soup'' was reducing the audience for the show that follows it on Tuesdays, ''Thirtysomething.'' 'No Problem With Subject Matter' ''If 'Chicken Soup' were commercial or funnier it could have survived,'' Mr. Schulman said. ''There was no problem with advertisers pulling out of show. There was no problem with subject matter. There was no problem with audience delivery. ABC just had to feel they could do more in that time period.'' Some television critics had questioned whether a series that focused on a love affair between Mr. Mason, who played a retired Jewish pajama salesman, and Lynn Redgrave, who played an Irish Catholic social worker, would be able to sustain a mass audience. Mr. Mason was criticized for remarks he made about the Democratic candidate David N. Dinkins during the New York City mayoral contest. Mr. Mason withdrew from the campaign of the Repulican-Liberal candidate Rudolph W. Giuliani after saying that because of their ''complexes'' Jews would vote for a black candidate even if unfit for the job. Spokesmen for ABC said there was no connection between the decision to cancel the show or the timing of the announcement on election day and the problems over Mr. Mason's activities in the campaign. |

Which word used to be in the name of The San Francisco Ballet? | tc_983 | opera | San Francisco Ballet: The Nutcracker - War Memorial Opera House, San Francisco, CA - Tickets, information, reviews San Francisco Ballet: The Nutcracker 301 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102 301 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco, CA 94102 1 Closed Closed December 29, 2016 The opulent new version of the seasonal classic, launched spectacularly by the San Francisco Ballet, is every parent's dream of a holiday treat. San Francisco Chronicle, 2014 Why See San Francisco Ballet: The Nutcracker? A TRULY FESTIVE "FRISCO" BALLET On Christmas Eve, 1944, the audience at San Francisco's War Memorial Opera House watched the American premiere of Nutcracker. An instant sensation, the ballet launched a national holiday tradition. SF Ballet's sparkling production of Nutcracker, set here by the Bay has introduced audiences of all ages to the magnificent world of ballet, and this will be the third annual production since its new revamp in 2014. It is a candied Christmas consumption of a ballet, with enough drama, love and festive spirit to keep the whole family entertained for the duration. With a recent revamp of the setting and costuming, this beloved ballet continues to remain fresh and one of the most celebrated Nutcracker productions in the country. WHAT IS THE NUTCRACKER ABOUT? The scene opens in a quaint toy maker's shop; Drosselmeyer is putting the finishing touches to a beautiful nutcracker toy before heading out to the Stahbaum's party, laden with his gifts. At the party, young Clara and Fritz are taking part in the tree-trimming ceremony for the very first time; they are surrounded by friends and family celebrating the festive season; when Drosselmeyer arrives, he produces fabulous wooden dolls that spring to life, and gives the nutcracker doll to Clara; alas, Fritz grabs hold of it first and breaks it by accident. Drosselmeyer comforts the distraught girl and fixes the toy's jaw with his hankie. After the party, Clara is tired, and falls into a deep sleep, her nutcracker beside her. Awakening suddenly, she notices the room around her has changed dramatically. The Christmas tree towers over her, as does the furniture, and she is ambushed by life-sized mice brandishing swords! But a whistle by a familiar looking character summons a host of toy soldiers, and leads the charge against the rascally rodents. Clara helps by throwing her shoe, and the toy soldiers prevail. The handsome stranger turns to Clara; it is her beloved Nutcracker, come to life! The two journey on a beautiful sled to a forest with dancing snowflakes, who point them to the enchanted Crystal Palace, where the Sugar Plum Fairy reigns benevolently over her candy courtiers. As a reward for their efforts against the mouse army, she decrees that a special dance be put on for her special guests that include vignettes by whirling Chinese tea, French mirlitons, Russian vodka, Arabic coffee and Spanish hot chocolate and of course, the famous pas-de-deux by the Fairy and her Chevalier.

What is Alistair Cooke's real first name? | tc_1088 | alfred | Leader: Cooke's compliments | Media | The Guardian Cooke's compliments Thursday 1 April 2004 01.17 EST First published on Thursday 1 April 2004 01.17 EST Share on Messenger Close It was at the prompting of friends, revealed Nick Clarke in our obituary columns yesterday, that the then Alfred Cooke changed his name to the "more artistic" Alistair in 1930. But could there have been something other than artistic impression involved in this rebranding? It seems possible. For our late and revered Guardian colleague was not the first or last of that ilk to feel the need for a new first name. The soul singer Sam Cooke, for instance, once favoured the name Dale rather than Sam, and was born without the "e" that he later added to his surname. The future foreign secretary was born Robert Cook, but has long preferred to be known as Robin. And Gloucestershire's legendary slow left-arm bowler, so celebrated in the writings of Frank Keating, may have been known to all as Sam Cook from Tetbury; his real name, however, was Cecil. So what is it about all these Cooks (or all those Cookes) that makes them yearn for this tweak of identity? Beryl, Roger, Charlie and Thomas Cook may all have found their fame and fortune with the name. But even the greatest Cook of them all has gone down in history as plain Captain rather than James Cook. The immortal Peter, meanwhile, sometimes seemed more at ease as one of his many aliases, such as EL Wisty, Sir Arthur Streeb-Greebling or even the mournful Norwegian fisherman Sven. Would that incomparable prose have been any less celebrated for being delivered by Alfred Cooke? Would Robert Cook have climbed the Labour party's greasy pole any less successfully? And would Cecil Cook have gained more than that solitary test cap (at Trent Bridge against South Africa in 1947) or have returned better match figures than 0-127? All are unlikely. Cooks should, we feel, be more confident. All that can be said with any certainty is that only in the kitchen can there ever be too many of them. |
What was the name of Drew Barrymore's character in E.T.? | tc_1093 | gertie | Drew Barrymore's Baby: Potential Girl Names Tweets Her due date is just days away, but Drew Barrymore — who, along with hubby Will Kopelman, is expecting a baby girl — has kept her daughter’s name under lock and key, despite going public with her first child’s gender way back in April. So what’s a gossip-loving entertainment writer to do? Come up with a list of potential baby names for Barrymore’s first child. The Contenders Charlie – Sure, it’s technically a boy’s name, but Charlie ranked 376th on the Social Security Administration ‘s list of top 1,000 baby names of 2011. Barrymore starred in the 2000 and 2003 Charlie’s Angels films; she also played a character named Charlie in one of her first movie roles (1984’s Firestarter) Blyth – Not only is this old-fashioned name Barrymore’s middle name, but it’s also a family name; Drew’s great-grandfather Maurice Barrymore actually changed his last name from Blyth to Barrymore. Ethel – Another family name, Ethel Barrymore is one of the most famous members of the Barrymore clan … she’s also Drew’s great-aunt Elliott – It’s unlikely Barrymore would choose Gertie — the name of the character she played in her first hit, E.T. — but she could opt to steal the name of her on-screen brother, Elliott; when spelled with just one “t,” the name ranks 875th on the SSA’s 2011 girl names list Sophia – Drew’s Godmother is actress Sophia Loren, and with Sophia reaching the top spot on the SSA’s 2011 rankings for girl names, it would be an obvious choice Chanel – Naming children after products is all the rage (ever met a Mercedes?), but naming her daughter after this world famous designer would be appropriate, given her father-in-law is a former Chanel CEO Casey – Barrymore has been in three movies in which her character was named Casey: 1984’s Irreconcilable Differences, 1995’s Mad Love, 1996’s Scream Josie – When Barrymore took on the role of Josie Geller in 1999’s Never Been Kissed, it not only marked her return to blockbuster movies, but also her debut as an executive producer for a film Arielle – In honor of her new father-in-law, Arielle — or Ariella — are female versions of Arie; the girl names also are of Hebrew origin, harkening to Kopelman’s Jewish faith Do you have any predictions for baby names for Drew Barrymore’s daughter? Drew Barrymore | E.T. The Extra Terrestrial Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia E.T.

Fox) introduces rock and roll to the young people of 1955. FILM DESCRIPTION: Contemporary high schooler Marty McFly (Michael J. Fox) doesn't have the most pleasant of lives. Browbeaten by his principal at school, Marty must also endure the acrimonious relationship between his nerdy father (Crispin Glover) and his lovely mother (Lea Thompson), who in turn suffer the bullying of middle-aged jerk Biff (Thomas F. Wilson), Marty's dad's supervisor. The one balm in Marty's life is his friendship with eccentric scientist Doc (Christopher Lloyd), who at present is working on a time machine. Accidentally zapped back into the 1950s, Marty inadvertently interferes with the budding romance of his now-teenaged parents. Our hero must now reunite his parents-to-be, lest he cease to exist in the 1980s. It won't be easy, especially with the loutish Biff, now also a teenager, complicating matters. Beyond its dazzling special effects, the best element of Back to the Future is the performance of Michael J. Fox, who finds himself in the quagmire of surviving the white-bread 1950s with a hip 1980s mindset. Back to the Future cemented the box-office bankability of both Fox and the film's director, Robert Zemeckis, who went on to helm two equally exhilarating sequels.

Who was jailed for her 'obscene' stage play Sex? | tc_1160 | mae west | The History of New York Scandals - Mae West’s �Sex’ Capade -- New York Magazine (Photo: Bettmann/Corbis) 1927 In a 1925�26 New York theater season with acclaimed new plays by O’Neill (The Great God Brown), O’Casey (Juno and the Paycock), and Coward (Hay Fever), critics agreed that the rock bottom was Sex, the first Broadway vehicle written by and starring the voluptuous vaudeville trouper Mae West. Sex was �street sweepings,� in the verdict of The New Yorker, and �a crude, inept play, cheaply produced and poorly acted,� according to the Times. The paper’s review did helpfully note that the show’s �one torrid love scene� lived up to its title. An ad warning patrons who �cannot stand excitement� to �see your doctor before visiting Mae West� didn’t hurt either. The play outlasted nearly all the competition. Variety christened its heroine, a Montreal lady of the evening with a fondness for sailors, �the Babe Ruth of stage prosties.� Politics turned a hit into a Jazz Age phenomenon. When New York’s rakish mayor, Jimmy Walker , took a Havana holiday in February 1927, the acting mayor, Joseph V. (�Holy Joe�) McKee, raided three risqué Broadway shows. West was the prime target: Sex, then in the tenth month of its run, had been seen by 325,000 theatergoers. To the delight of the tabloid press, its twenty actors were hauled off to a police station in Hell’s Kitchen. The star spent the night in the Jefferson Market Women’s Prison. West bailed out her company. The court had offered to drop charges if she would close the show. But she knew that in showbiz, crime paid. The grand jury’s claim that her �obscene, indecent, immoral, and impure drama� would abet �the corruption of the morals of youth� was better than any rave review. Festooned with white roses, she rode a limo to incarceration on Welfare Island and boasted of wearing silk underwear throughout her eight-day stay there. When Liberty magazine paid her $1,000 for an exit interview, she used it to start a Mae West Memorial Library for female prisoners. A later West play�The Pleasure Man, awash in female impersonators and homosexuality�would be raided and shut down at its second Broadway performance in 1928. Undaunted, she eventually revived Sex and toured the Depression-era Midwest without incident, before arriving in Hollywood, where, paired with Cary Grant and W. C. Fields, she hit superstardom as she was reaching 40. The Bushwick-born, self-invented West (1893�1980) wrote the Ur-text for Madonna and Lady Gaga, repeatedly breaking gender and sexual barriers over a marathon career as a writer, performer, free-speech provocateur, and showbiz entrepreneur. Her pioneering playbook for turning scandal into profits remains the gold standard in American pop culture to this day. |
President Kennedy was shot on 22nd November; what day was Lee Harvey Oswald shot? | tc_1262 | 24th november | Lee Harvey Oswald shot - Videos - CBS News Lee Harvey Oswald shot Lee Harvey Oswald shot November 19, 2013, 8:06 AM | Nov. 24, 1963: As Dallas police prepared to transfer Lee Harvey Oswald to the Dallas County courthouse, he was shot in the stomach by man later identified as Jack Ruby. Oswald had been arrested in the shooting President Kennedy two days earlier. Jack Ruby kills Lee Harvey Oswald - Nov 24, 1963 - HISTORY.com Jack Ruby kills Lee Harvey Oswald Share this: Jack Ruby kills Lee Harvey Oswald Author Jack Ruby kills Lee Harvey Oswald URL Publisher A+E Networks At 12:20 p.m., in the basement of the Dallas police station, Lee Harvey Oswald, the alleged assassin of President John F. Kennedy, is shot to death by Jack Ruby, a Dallas nightclub owner. On November 22, President Kennedy was fatally shot while riding in an open-car motorcade through the streets of downtown Dallas. Less than an hour after the shooting, Lee Harvey Oswald killed a policeman who questioned him on the street. Thirty minutes after that, he was arrested in a movie theater by police. Oswald was formally arraigned on November 23 for the murders of President Kennedy and Officer J.D. Tippit. On November 24, Oswald was brought to the basement of the Dallas police headquarters on his way to a more secure county jail. A crowd of police and press with live television cameras rolling gathered to witness his departure. As Oswald came into the room, Jack Ruby emerged from the crowd and fatally wounded him with a single shot from a concealed .38 revolver. Ruby, who was immediately detained, claimed that rage at Kennedy’s murder was the motive for his action. Some called him a hero, but he was nonetheless charged with first-degree murder. Jack Ruby, originally known as Jacob Rubenstein, operated strip joints and dance halls in Dallas and had minor connections to organized crime. He also had a relationship with a number of Dallas policemen, which amounted to various favors in exchange for leniency in their monitoring of his establishments. He features prominently in Kennedy-assassination theories, and many believe he killed Oswald to keep him from revealing a larger conspiracy. In his trial, Ruby denied the allegation and pleaded innocent on the grounds that his great grief over Kennedy’s murder had caused him to suffer “psychomotor epilepsy” and shoot Oswald unconsciously. The jury found him guilty of the “murder with malice” of Oswald and sentenced him to die. In October 1966, the Texas Court of Appeals reversed the decision on the grounds of improper admission of testimony and the fact that Ruby could not have received a fair trial in Dallas at the time. In January 1967, while awaiting a new trial, to be held in Wichita Falls, Ruby died of lung cancer in a Dallas hospital. The official Warren Commission report of 1964 concluded that neither Oswald nor Ruby were part of a larger conspiracy, either domestic or international, to assassinate President Kennedy. Despite its seemingly firm conclusions, the report failed to silence conspiracy theories surrounding the event, and in 1978 the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded in a preliminary report that Kennedy was “probably assassinated as a result of a conspiracy” that may have involved multiple shooters and organized crime. The committee’s findings, as with those of the Warren Commission, continue to be widely disputed. Related Videos |

What is Jennifer Jason Leigh's real name? | tc_1385 | jennifer morrow | Jennifer Jason Leigh files for divorce just seven months after giving birth | Daily Mail Online comments It has been just seven months since she gave birth to her son, but Single White Female actress Jennifer Jason Leigh has filed for divorce. She was married to director Noah Baumbach for five years and it is not yet clear why the couple split. Jennifer, whose real name is Jennifer Morrow, produced her only child, Rohmer, late in life at the age of 48. Happier times: Jennifer and her husband Noah Baumbach pictured holding hands in 2007 New mother: The actress, pictured here in 2007, gave birth to a son seven months ago She's seeking alimony and primary custody of their son with visitation rights for Noah. The couple first met in 2001, while working on a production of the Broadway play Proof. Noah certainly seemed to think the marriage was forever. Soon after their wedding, he told People magazine: 'I expect to be with [Leigh] for the rest of my life'. Most recently, the pair co-wrote the Ben Stiller film Greenburg and Jennifer had a supporting role in the film. While Noah is best-known for writing and directing the films Margot at the Wedding and The Squid and the Whale. Jennifer has had her share of tragedy. In 1982, Jennifer's father was accidentally killed during a helicopter stunt on the set of Twilight Zone: The Movie. Following a lawsuit for wrongful death against Warner Brothers and Steven Spielberg, they settled out of court for an undisclosed sum. Named as one of 'America's 10 Most Beautiful Women' by Harper's Bazaar Magazine in 1989, she once dated Eric Stoltz and was romantically linked to Robert Downey Jr. Jennifer became a household name following her role in the 1992 thriller Single White Female. She played the terrifying part of Hedy, a woman who creepily modelled herself on her room mate, Bridget Fonda's dynamic character Allie. The term 'single white female' became synonymous with the act of copying and emulating a female friend as a result of the film. Jennifer's most recent role was a guest spot on US hit TV show Weeds, starring opposite Mary Louise Parker. Jennifer Jason Leigh in Single White Female |

The older Smothers Brother played what musical instrument? | tc_1626 | guitar | The Smothers Brothers Lyrics The Smothers Brothers The Smothers Brothers are Thomas ("Tom" - born February 2, 1937) and Richard ("Dick" - born November 20, 1939), American singers, musicians, comedians and folk heroes. The brothers' trademark act was performing folk songs (Tommy on acoustic guitar, Dick on string bass), which usually led to arguments between the siblings. Tommy's signature line was, "Mom always liked you best!" Tommy (the elder of the two) acted "slow", and Dick, the straight man, acted "superior". |

Vaclav Havel and British King George VI both lost what part of their bodies? | tc_1666 | lung | Vaclav Havel who became Czech Republic's first elected president dies aged 75 | Daily Mail Online comments Vaclav Havel, pictured in 2005, died at his weekend this morning, according to his assistant Vaclav Havel, who became the first Czech president after leading the bloodless Velvet Revolution against communist rule, died yesterday aged 75. The dissident playwright was instrumental in opening the door to democracy in Eastern Europe by loosening the Soviet grip. Tributes flooded in from world leaders who hailed him as ‘the greatest European of our age’. Havel was invited by Margaret Thatcher to 10 Downing Street during his first official visit to the UK after the collapse of communism in 1989. As well as steering his country towards freedom, he also oversaw the peaceful 1993 split of Czechoslovakia into two separate countries – the Czech Republic and Slovakia. David Cameron said he was ‘deeply saddened’ at his death. ‘Havel devoted his life to the cause of human freedom,’ said the Prime Minister. ‘For years, communism tried to crush him and to extinguish his voice. But Havel, the playwright and the dissident, could not be silenced. ‘No one of my generation will ever forget those powerful scenes from Wenceslas Square two decades ago. Havel led the Czech people out of tyranny. And he helped bring freedom and democracy to our entire continent. RELATED ARTICLES Share this article Share ‘Europe owes Vaclav Havel a profound debt. Today his voice has fallen silent. But his example and the cause to which he devoted his life will live on.’ Thousands of people gather in Venceslaw's Square in Prague as a flag is passed over the crowd of mourners Soldiers stand guard next to a portrait of Havel, set in his memory at the Prague Castle today A man takes in the news from a commemorative issue of DNES that was handed out to mourners Hundreds of candles have been lit this evening in tribute to Havel at Wenceslas Square in Prague this evening Foreign Secretary William Hague said: ‘Cold War hero, playwright and president. He opened the door to democracy in Eastern Europe and will always be remembered.’ He added: ‘He played a pivotal role in the development of freedom in Europe.’ Havel never won the Nobel Peace prize despite being nominated several times for the honour. But he was bestowed with America’s highest civilian award by then President George W. Bush who called him ‘one of liberty’s great heroes’. Revolutionary: Havel waves to massive crowds of demonstrators in Prague's Wenceslas Square in 1989, following the collapse of communism and introduction of a new government National hero: President Havel and his wife Dagmar wave from the balcony of Prague Castle after Havel was sworn in for a second term as president in 1998 The former chain smoker, who survived several operations for lung cancer and a burst intestine that nearly killed him, died at his country home north-east of the Czech capital Prague. He had a history of chronic respiratory problems dating back to his years locked in dank communist prisons. In recent public appearances recently he appeared thin and drawn. Born in 1936 to a wealthy family in Czechoslovakia, he began co-writing plays during his military service in the 1950s. His first solo play, The Garden Party, was staged in 1963. Respected: Havel in discussion with former Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi in April 2002 Rise to power: Pictured in his days as a dissident playwright, Havel, right, jokes with a member of the Polish dissident union 'Solidarity' in June 1989 A lover of jazz and theatre he famously ridiculed the communist state as ‘Absurdistan’. His revolutionary motto was: ‘Truth and love must prevail over lies and hatred.’ But his works were banned after the 1968 uprising was crushed by a Soviet invasion when tanks rolled into Wenceslas Square. |
Who was the oldest US Open golf champion of the 20th century? | tc_1718 | hale irwin | US Open Golf | US Open History| US Open Past Winners| US Open Courses History US Open Championship History The first ever US Open took place in 1895 and was played at the nine-hole Newport Golf and Country club in Rhode Island, USA. It was played over 36 holes with only 11 players taking part. The eventual winner was an Englishman named Horace Rawlins who scored a total of 173. For the next three years the US Open maintained the same format of four rounds around a nine-hole golf course before moving to four rounds around an 18-hole course in 1898, the format that is maintained still today. Despite very modest beginnings the US Open really began to capture the interest of the American people during the early part of the 20th century. The US Open Championship had been dominated by professional golfers from England and Scotland playing amongst American amateurs. This was until an American amateur named John McDermott won the Championship back-to-back in 1911 and 1912. These victories kick started an American dominance, which has been maintained ever since, with home born players winning 84 US Open Championships since 1911. The US Open was first opened up to spectators in 1922 at the Skokie Country Club (Illinois) but it was the preceding years that would really spark interest from the general public. Between 1923 and 1930 the US amateur Bob Jones won the US Open Championship four times, and as his style of play began to impress fans the profile of the competition increased. The US Open is now firmly established as one of the best known golf championships in the world and has been one of the four majors since the inception of professional golf during the 1950s. Over the years some of the best known names in the history of golf have had their name inscribed on the US Open trophy. Famous US Open Winners Jack Nicklaus, probably the most famous golfer of them all, won the US Open a joint record four times during a career which saw him play in 44 consecutive Championships between 1957 and 2000. Nicklaus was very unlucky not to make it five victories in the US Open when he lost out to Lee Trevino in the 1971 Championship. Other US Open players who have won the Championship four times include Willie Anderson, Bob Jones and Ben Hogan. Tiger Woods will be attempting to join this illustrious list of great players in 2011 as he bids for his 15th Major. The Tiger of old resurfaced in the final few rounds at the Masters and he'll be aiming to take his new found form to the Congressional County Club on June 16th. In more recent memory, Hale Irwin won the Championship a total of three times between 1974 and 1990 and on his final victory become the oldest ever US Open champion at the age of 45. The South African Ernie Els threatened to dominate the title when winning it in 1994 and 1997 but has since failed to make an impact. The Big Easy can never be ruled out and it would be no surprise to see him come back to Major form at the 2013 US Open. Free Bets & Betting Offers |
In which decade of this century were airmail letters first carried? | tc_1740 | 2nd decade | A Brief History of Air Mail | Airtug A Brief History of Air Mail Posted on June 8, 2016 in Blog It all started a very long time, ago – there existed a sophisticated mail service in Ancient Rome; and the postal service of 2nd-century Rome was akin to our postal service today in that regardless of the weather or the circumstances, the mail would simply have to go through! Horse-drawn carts meandered a good 50 miles per day over the masterfully-constructed roads that covered the sprawling Roman Empire. Relay teams worked with one another, day and night, to ensure that the most important mail – usually political – would make a 170 mile trip within 24 hours! As centuries passed, mail delivery became increasingly ‘sophisticated’; and the first aerial mail transportation occurred in 1870 in France. Here, letters were carried by balloons cast adrift, guided by the wind. It was on September of 1870 that 500 pounds of mail was carried, although the question remains: Was the mail actually delivered? With no way to control the balloons’ flights, the system was doomed shortly after its inception. With that being said, however, balloon mail was also experimented with in 1877 in Nashville, Tennessee with, presumably, questionable results. If we fast-forward to the 2nd decade of 20th-Century America, we find government-sponsored flights for domestic US Airmail which took place between 1911 and 1918. It wasn’t until May 15 of 1918 that the first day of scheduled airmail came to be – the US Post Office Department officially established a new class of mail service – Air Mail was born! On that date, the first airmail route was inaugurated between Washington DC and New York City. The US Post Office Department had made an agreement with the War Department which would supply the planes and pilots while the Post Office would manage the mail and relevant details. This historic flight carried 136 pounds of mail. During a 76-day operation that followed, Air Service pilots delivered 20 tons of mail. It should be noted, however, that of the initial 40 pilots, three died in flight crashes in a single year during 1919 and nine more crew died in 1920. To further demonstrate the potential of utilizing aircraft for mail delivery, however, arrangements were made for a flight from San Francisco to New York City on February 22, 1921; and it was successful! Including all stops, the flight took 33 hours and 21 minutes with an average speed of 104 mph, covering a distance of just over 2600 miles. By 1924, transcontinental air mail delivery became serious business; and 5 years later, a total of 45 airlines were chosen for mail delivery. The compensation for the carriers was a whopping $1.10 per mile! |

If edu appears at the end of an address, what is the host computer? | tc_1757 | college or university | How to Get a Free .edu Address for Student Discounts How to Get a Free .edu Address for Student Discounts By | August 8, 2014 11:21 am MORE EDITOR'S NOTE: This method no longer works for acquiring a .edu email address. Being a student has a lot of perks, such as a deep markdown on Amazon Prime, discounts on major newspapers and savings at numerous popular retailers. Unfortunately, the money saved won’t come even close to displacing the rapidly increasing cost of education, but there’s an easy way to reap many of the benefits of student status without dropping the big bucks on school. Many online retailers will verify your student status by requiring you to sign up with a simple .edu email address, which is typically available only to attendees of a college or university. From time to time, however, an .edu website will allow users to register an email address without actually checking their student status. It’s a way for non-students to get many of the benefits of being a student without taking on loan after loan. This is often subject to abrupt change, when an organization learns how it's being exploited. There are certainly ethical questions about taking advantage of the system, but if you're determined to do it, here’s how to get an .edu email address. 1. Visit the account creation page on the California Colleges website and select that you’re a College or Postsecondary School Student. The California Colleges website is a place for students and potential students to plan their educational path. It allows anyone to sign up for an email account, but you’ll want to select that you’re currently a college student. 2. Select Find and choose your favorite college from the list. Have you ever dreamed of attending a California college? Here’s your chance to pretend that you’re really there! There are a long list of schools, from universities to community colleges to choose from. Pick your favorite. 3. Enter in your personal information, and select an account name and password. You certainly can use your real information, but there’s no system in place to check anything. Entering sensitive information, such as your address, is optional. We recommend filling out the bare minimum of the form. Note that your account name will be your new email address. 4. Click to continue once you see the notice that your account has been successfully created. If you’ve filled out the form correctly, you should be redirected to a page that confirms your new account. If you see this page, you now have an .edu email address. 5. Click My Portfolio in the top right corner, followed by Send and Receive Messages to view your new .edu email address. This is where you’ll go when you want to view your messages — which is often required by sites offering student discounts in order to verify that you’re the owner of the account. 6. Send yourself a test email. It’s good to know that your new email address actually works. Head over to an existing email account and send a message to your new .edu address. Then, return to your new .edu inbox and refresh the page to view your test message. |

From Wikipedia: Blue Swede was a Swedish rock band from the early- to mid-1970s that succeeded with a few singles which were covers of other artists' material. The band was first formed in 1973, when Björn Skifs, a top vocalist in Sweden, was looking for a band to accompany him during his concerts. The band was originally called "Blåblus" (Swedish for "blue blouse", a pun on the word "blues") and featured Skifs singing the lead vocals. The band got their international breakthrough in 1974 with their cover of the 1969 B. J. Thomas song "Hooked on a Feeling". Released that same year on their album Hooked on a Feeling, Blue Swede's version was adapted from British pop eccentric Jonathan King, using his ooga-chaka ooga-chaka background on a version he had earlier recorded of the same song. "Hooked on a Feeling" was released in Sweden in May 1973 and in the United States in February 1974, and reached #1 for one week in the U.S. staying in the Billboard Hot 100 chart for 18 weeks. The R.I.A.A. granted gold disc status on 28 March 1974. The track also topped charts in Canada, Australia and the Netherlands.

Who was Axle Rose's famous singer father-in-law? | tc_1919 | don everly | Axl Rose | Biography, Life, Facts, Family and Songs Tweet Introduction and Early Life: Axl Rose is an American musician, singer and songwriter, best known as the lead vocalist and frontman of the heavy rock band Guns N’ Roses. He is widely regarded as one of the most iconic and controversial performers in rock history. Born on February 6, 1962 in Lafayette, Indiana to William and Sharon Rose, he had a difficult childhood and his parents divorced when he was only two years old. Rose has openly declared that he was sexually abused by his father and physically abused by his mother’s new husband, Stephen Bailey. He became interested in music from an early age and started singing in church and learning to play piano while still in grade school. Rose left home at a young age and moved to Los Angeles in 1982. Career and Musical Achievements: After coming to Los Angeles, Axl Rose initially sang for a number of bands, including Rapidfire and L.A. Guns, before forming Hollywood Rose with his childhood friend Izzy Stradlin. Rose co-founded Guns N’ Roses in 1985 with his former band mate Tracii Guns by combining Hollywood Rose and L.A. Guns. The band’s lineup at that time consisted of Axl, Tracii Guns, Ole Beich and Duff McKagan. Guns N’ Roses underwent a number of line-up changes, and lead guitarist Slash and drummer Steven Adler were eventually recruited in 1985. They played their first concert at the Troubadour club in Hollywood. The band, after establishing a loyal audience by playing regularly on the L.A. club circuit, signed with Geffen Records in 1986. Guns N’ Roses released their debut album, Appetite for Destruction, in 1987. The band achieved worldwide fame with the tremendous commercial success of the single “Sweet Child O’ Mine”. The album has sold more than 30 million copies to date. The band followed it up with Appetite for Destruction (1987), G N’ R Lies (1988), Use Your Illusion I & Use Your Illusion II (1991), and “The Spaghetti Incident?” (1993). From the early 90s, bitter rivalries began to develop in Guns N’ Roses, but Rose managed to obtain the sole ownership of the band’s name. Consequently, Slash, McKagan and Sorum all decided to leave the band. The long-rumored album, Chinese Democracy, was released in 2008 and Duff McKagan made a surprise appearance during their performance at London’s The O2 Arena in October 2010. Awards and Accolades: Axl Rose was awarded the Ronnie James Dio Lifetime Achievement Award in 2014. Personal Life: Axl Rose married Erin Everly, the daughter of singer Don Everly , in 1990. The couple annulled their marriage in 1991. He started dating supermodel Stephanie Seymour and they got engaged for a brief period of time. Rose is a controversial rock star whose contentious lyrics and erratic behavior have often provoked public outcry. |

In these past few days, when I've seen myself, I seem like someone else. I don't know how to take this. I don't see why he moves me. He's a man. He's just a man. And I've had so many men before, In very many ways, He's just one more. Should I bring him down? Should I scream and shout? Should I speak of love, Let my feelings out? I never thought I'd come to this. What's it all about? Don't you think it's rather funny, I should be in this position. I'm the one who's always been So calm, so cool, no lover's fool, Running every show. He scares me so. I never thought I'd come to this. What's it all about? Yet, if he said he loved me, I'd be lost. I'd be frightened. I couldn't cope, just couldn't cope. I'd turn my head. I'd back away. I wouldn't want to know. He scares me so. I want him so. I love him so.

Due to the New Directions not being able to rehearse or sing in the choir room after their loss at Sectionals , Beiste allows Finn to let the New Directions use the Boys Locker Room for a short period of time. Tina thinks that it would be a good idea to sing a solo to invite a specific boy to the Sadie Hawkins dance. Finn asks her to hurry though before Coach Beiste closes the locker room. She sings, and it intercuts to scenes with her looking at Blaine , writing "Blaine + Tina = Forever/Blatina" on her notebook, a cafeteria scene and her staring at Blaine's bottom. As the song comes to an end, Tina walks towards Blaine and everyone exchanges awkward expressions, especially Blaine. When Tina finishes the solo, she asks Blaine to the Sadie Hawkins dance. In response, he awkwardly declines, making the scene extremely uncomfortable for Tina. The Titans then come into the locker room. It is later revealed that Tina is very humiliated by the experience, and that Blaine said no because he has a crush on Sam . Despite this, they go to the dance as best friends. Contents |
What is the longest river in Portugal, and the fifth longest in Europe? | tc_2061 | tagus | Top Ten Longest Rivers in Europe List: Top Ten Longest Rivers in Europe Date: 2007 Source: Various Sources Base: All rivers in Europe (including Russian rivers west of the Ural mountains). Notes: The Volga River is the longest river system in Europe. It rises in the hills northwest of Moscow and then flows 2,300 miles (3,700 km) to the southeast before emptying into the Caspian Sea. It has more than 200 tributaries, including the Kama, Samara and Oka, occupying a watershed covering about 560,000 sq. mi. (1,450,000 sq. km), which is almost 41% of the European landmass. The Danube is the second longest river and is perhaps the most significant commercial waterway on the continent. It begins in the Black Forest region of Germany, flows across central Europe and the countries of Austria, Hungary, Croatia and Yugoslavia, forms the border between Romania and Bulgaria, before turning north across Romania to eventually flow into in the Black Sea. Important European long rivers that did not make the top ten include: The Loire and the Tagus, draining into the Atlantic Ocean, the Rhone, draining into the Mediterranean Sea and the Po, draining into the Adriatic Sea.

Who had a 60s No 1 with Everyday People? | tc_2179 | sly family stone | Everyday People | Stanford's only Hip-Hop, R&B, Motown and Soul A Cappella Group Stanford's only Hip-Hop, R&B, Motown and Soul A Cappella Group Search ABOUT We are everyday men and women. We do cool songs. We dress in black. We jam. In October of 1987, Stanford University juniors Larry Shorter and Tony Stovall shared a love of fun and uplifting music and performance a cappella, but felt as if they didn’t see their style represented in the Stanford music scene. As a tribute to Sly and the Family Stone’s vision of inclusiveness and acceptance of all races, genders, and creeds, Shorter and Stovall formed Everyday People, based on the group’s 1967 hit of the same title, and thus brought together what one journalist calls one of the only “truly integrated” collegiate a cappella groups in the nation. In the spirit of Sly Stone’s ambition to demolish racial lines and use music as a tool to bring people together, Everyday People (EP) continues this tradition today and aims to reach a broad audience with this message. In addition to releasing seven studio albums that have received numerous awards, EP is passionate about sharing music with the greater community. We believe that by engaging the community through service our experience is enriched as group members, and we hope, through music, we can affect others in a positive way. We bring our music to local elementary schools, such as Ohlone Elementary School in Palo Alto and Easterbrook Discovery School in San Jose. During our 2011 Winter Tour, we performed for patients and staff at the Mattel Children’s hospital in Los Angeles. EP is an entirely student-run organization: the arrangements in our repertoire have all been arranged and transcribed by our own members, past and present. We take pride in our practice of relying on the group’s remarkable talent to not only sustain the group, but also to make EP the nationally-recognized group it is today. |
On a Monopoly board, what are B & O, Reading, Short Line and Pennsylvania? | tc_2198 | stations | Railroads | Monopoly Wiki | Fandom powered by Wikia B. & O. Railroad (did not serve Atlantic City) Short Line (shortened form of Shore Fast Line) Rents Rent starts at $25, then doubles for every other Railroad owned on the board: 1 RR: $25 3 RR: $100 4 RR: $200 Building a Train Station on a Railroad for $100 in Mega Edition doubles the rent stated above. If you draw a specific card in Chance , the rent price doubles so 1 RR is $50, 2 RR is $100, 3 RR is $200, and 4 RR is $400. Prices Mortgage Value: $100 each Summary The Railroads are extremely good to own. They are a steady source of cash and can temporarily stop an opponent from building with all 4 of them together. Due to their positioning (5th position on each side of the board), one is always at risk for landing on a railroad whether via dice roll or by a Chance/Community Chest card. Trivia The Pennsylvania, B&O, and Reading railroads were actual railroads that operated on the East Coast. The PRR and Reading are now part of Norfolk Southern (Formerly the two were part of Conrail) and the B&O is now part of CSX. The Shore Fast Line ceased operations in 1948. What are the train stations in Monopoly? | Reference.com What are the train stations in Monopoly? A: Quick Answer The train stations in Monopoly are named after four railroad lines: the Pennsylvania, the B&O, the Reading and the Short Line. The first three are named after real railroads, while the Short Line is fictitious. Full Answer The Pennsylvania Railroad served the Northeast and parts of the Midwest. The B&O was a nickname for the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, which ran in much of the same area as the Pennsylvania. The Reading Co. primarily transported coal from mines to Delaware, Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. Parker Brothers patented Monopoly in 1935 after purchasing the rights from Charles Darrow, who sold 5,000 homemade editions of the game before working with the manufacturer. |

In what year was the first woman elected to the US Senate? | tc_2319 | 1922 | Women in Congress | US House of Representatives: History, Art & Archives Women in Congress: An Introduction Like all history, the story of women in Congress is defined by change over time: From a complete lack of representation in Congress before 1917, women have advanced to party leadership at the start of the 21st century. At times during the near century that women have served in Congress, change has been almost imperceptible and at other times, change has been bold and dramatic. "I'm No Lady; I'm a Member of Congress," 1917–1934 Great triumphs and historic firsts highlight women’s initial foray into national political office. Four years after Jeannette Rankin of Montana was elected to the House of Representatives in 1916, women won the right to vote nationally, with the ratification of the 19th Amendment in 1920. Rebecca Felton of Georgia became the first woman to serve in the U.S. Senate in 1922. Onto the National Stage, 1935–1954 Thirty-six women entered Congress between 1935 and 1954, a tumultuous two decades that encompassed the Great Depression, World War II, and the start of the Cold War. Women participated in America’s survival, recovery, and ascent to world power in important and unprecedented ways; they became shapers of the welfare state, workers during wartime, and members of the military. A Changing of the Guard, 1955–1976 The third generation of women in Congress, the 39 individuals who entered the House and the Senate between 1955 and 1976, legislated during an era of upheaval in America, including the civil rights movement, protest against the Vietnam War, the women’s liberation movement and the sexual revolution, and the Watergate Scandal and efforts to reform Congress in the 1970s. First elected female senator - Jan 12, 1932 - HISTORY.com First elected female senator Publisher A+E Networks Ophelia Wyatt Caraway, a Democrat from Arkansas, becomes the first woman to be elected to the U.S. Senate. Caraway, born near Bakerville, Tennessee, had been appointed to the Senate two months earlier to fill the vacancy left by her late husband, Thaddeus Horatio Caraway. With the support of Huey Long, a powerful senator from Louisiana, Caraway was elected to the seat. In 1938, she was reelected. After failing to win renomination in 1944, she was appointed to the Federal Employees Compensation Commission by President Franklin Roosevelt. Although she was the first freely elected female senator, Caraway was preceded in the Senate by Rebecca Latimer Felton, who was appointed in 1922 to fill a vacancy but never ran for election. Jeannette Rankin, elected to the House of Representatives as a pacifist from Montana in 1917, was the first woman to ever sit in Congress. Related Videos |

On whose life was the short-lived musical Winnie based? | tc_2375 | winston churchill | Movie Review - 'Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom' : NPR With: Idris Elba , Naomie Harris , Terry Pheto In English, Xhosa and Afrikaans. Some movies try to underscore their authenticity by flashing dates, names and locations on the screen. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom offers some dates and locations, but not much in the way of names. The result is a history of national transformation in which only two people really seem to matter. One of them, of course, is Nelson Mandela, whose memoir is a major source for William Nicholson's script. As embodied by Idris Elba, Mandela is a powerful physical presence. The movie shows its protagonist walking, running and doing pushups to freedom. Even during 27 years in prison, his vigor rarely flags. The other dynamo is Winnie Mandela, Nelson's second wife and eventual adversary, and Naomie Harris fiercely conveys the rage and certainty that make her the film's most interesting character. The scenes in which she refuses to join her husband's campaign for racial reconciliation are the strongest and most complex. Elsewhere, however, complexity doesn't seem to be a priority for director Justin Chadwick, whose previous historical pictures include the soapy, baldly fictionalized The Other Boleyn Girl. There's a lot of Mandela's 95 years to get on screen, plus a few corny dream sequences, and a mere 139 minutes to do it. Article continues after sponsorship Chadwick begins, after a glimpse at the great man's modest rustic childhood, with Mandela's work as a lawyer in Johannesburg in the 1940s. The young attorney displays an erotic bravado that's especially pungent — and risky — in piously racist South Africa. Mandela doesn't just flirt with, fondle and cheat with black women; he embarrasses a white woman into dropping a theft case by displaying a contested pair of underpants to the court. Naomie Harris plays the role of Mandela's second wife, Winnie Mandela, and the two of them spark some of the film's best and most complex moments. Keith Bernstein/The Weinstein Company hide caption toggle caption Keith Bernstein/The Weinstein Company The story then leaps, and jarringly, to the 1960 massacre in Sharpeville, where police opened fire on unarmed demonstrators. That famous outrage is used here as narrative shorthand for Mandela's radicalization, which in fact happened long before that. No matter: He begins to work with the African National Congress and its military wing, Spear of the Nation. Arrested in 1962, Mandela is brought to trial with seven other men. One small detail is all that distinguishes them: The black "boys" are issued shorts, while the one prisoner of Indian descent is given trousers. Most of these men will still be Mandela's cohorts 27 years later, yet they're never introduced. That's typical of the movie, which focuses all too tightly on its namesake. Occasionally, the filmmakers crack open a window and context floods in, usually in the form of vintage TV news footage. Mostly, though, the movie is designed for people who already know some history of South Africa from 1942 to 1994, or who don't much care. The black-on-black carnage of the early '90s is invoked but not explained; in fact this period is depicted almost grudgingly, as an annoying bump on the road to Mandela's electoral triumph. Finally, South Africa's first black president goes to greet his people, heralded by the tintinnabulating guitar of ... U2's "The Edge." Enlisting the Irish pompsters for that final musical flourish is a strange touch, and a telling one. The film was shot entirely in South Africa, and revels in golden light on dry yellow grasslands. But it's still a very British movie, a respectful view from a suitable distance. That approach is echoed by Elba's performance, which is keyed to the public man, not the private one. Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom scants both history and psychology, thus rendering its account of South Africa's self-determination saga equally opaque to scholars and casual observers. |
Which European country left the Commonwealth and declared itself a republic in 1949? | tc_2526 | eire | Today in history; April 18th 1949 - Ireland becomes a republic Today in history; April 18th 1949 - Ireland becomes a republic Results 1 to 10 of 21 6Likes 18th April 2012, 11:19 AM #1 Keith-M Ireland Act 1949 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia For a country that seem (over) obsessed by irts history, I can't get over how this anniversary goes by generally unnoticed. IIt was a pivotal moment in the history of the country. We lost any remaining connections with the British monarch and lost our place in the Commonwealth without a vote of the people. DeValera (then leader of the opposition) was outraged because he saw it as effectibly copperfastening partition. 18th April 2012, 11:26 AM #2 Cruimh Posts 91,553 18th April 2012, 11:36 AM #3 LamportsEdge Posts 22,858 A very interesting area this- it is doubtful legally whether in fact Ireland was declared a Republic in pure legal terms. The 1949 was ostensibly to clear up that messy legal area but like misprision of felony bits of the legal apparatus of a Republic were missing and even now today Constitutional legal experts point out that Ireland is not in fact legally a Republic (chapter one of the any law student's book on Irish constitutional law available in any decent bookshop). What happened legally was that the 'Republic of Ireland' was legally agreed to be a translation of 'Eire'. 'Eire' itself has never legally been declared a Republic. This was all part of the debate that the 1949 Act was supposed to have cleared up- but as the law student's books will tell you on constitutional law oddly enough the Republic of Ireland's status as a title is only as a translation and not established as a fact of law. Quite obscure area this but once you look into it it does rather add to the notion that someone somewhere was being a bit iffy about the legal status of 'Eire' and then its agreed translation into English as the Republic of Ireland for some reason. And classically in terms of Irish politics that legal pothole remains unfilled DESPITE the Republic of Ireland Act in 1949. Lots there for the conspiracy theorists and the curious legal historian... Posts 192 I think we had a discussion about Roaring Meg on the Commonwealth thread a while back. What was interesting was the passage of the Ireland Act by Britain in response to Ireland leaving the Commonwealth - under which Irish citizens became the only non-Commonwealth nationals with an automatic right to live, work and vote in the UK with the same rights and priveleges as UK citizens. Again, we had that discussion elsewhere if you want to look for it. I agree, though, that it is rather puzzling that it's so often overlooked - especially since one the provisions of the Ireland Act was to effectively enshrine the Unionist veto on constitutional change in law. I suspect more would be made of it if the Act had been passed by a Conservative government. 458 Originally Posted by Born Again Scouser I think we had a discussion about Roaring Meg on the Commonwealth thread a while back.

Who succeeded Clement Attlee as Labour Party leader in 1955? | tc_2625 | hugh gaitskell | BBC ON THIS DAY | 7 | 1955: Attlee steps down as Labour leader 1955: Attlee steps down as Labour leader Clement Attlee has resigned as leader of the opposition Labour Party, following months of speculation. Tonight the Prime Minister, Sir Anthony Eden, announced in Downing Street that the Queen is to make Mr Attlee an earl. He is the first Labour leader to accept a hereditary peerage. This will allow him to continue his work for the parliamentary Labour Party from the House of Lords, where the Opposition has little representation. He made his announcement this morning at the start of a special meeting of the shadow cabinet in the Commons convened to discuss the Middle East. 'Regrettable' He said: "After the [1951] general election I intimated that I would continue as chairman of the party meantime. "It is regrettable, however, that since that date there has scarcely been a week passed without one prominent member of the party or another talking about my impending resignation. That certainly does not help the party." He then announced his immediate resignation and was thanked for his long service to the party and the country. Herbert Morrison, deputy chairman of the party, will stand in as leader while a successor is found. There are expected to be three candidates - Mr Morrison himself, Hugh Gaitskell and Aneurin Bevan. Most Labour MPs believe Mr Gaitskell, at 49 the youngest of the contenders, will be elected leader. Lasting legacy Mr Attlee, who is 72 and has recently suffered a stroke, has led his party for 20 years and has had a seat in the House of Commons for 33 years. In 1942 he became deputy prime minister in the war cabinet under Sir Winston Churchill. During his six years as prime minister from 1945 to 1951 he oversaw sweeping changes to the welfare state with the introduction of the National Health Service and the nationalisation of key industries - the Bank of England, civil aviation, coal telecommunications, transport, electricity, iron and steel. He also pushed through the independence of India and Burma. The Hindu : Miscellaneous / This Day That Age : dated December 16, 1955: Attlee's successor Miscellaneous - This Day That Age dated December 16, 1955: Attlee's successor Mr. Hugh Gaitskell on December 14 succeeded Mr. Clement Attlee as leader of the British Labour Party. In a secret ballot of Labour's 275 MPs, he defeated Mr. Herbert Morrison and Mr. Aneurin Bevan. The 49-year-old former Chancellor of the Exchequer topped the poll with 157 votes against 70 for Mr. Bevan and 40 for Mr. Morrison. It was a victory for youth as well as Socialist orthodoxy, as Mr. Morrison might have been more strongly backed but for his 67 years. Mr. Bevan, 58, had not been conceded a chance because of his unpopularity due to past clashes with the party leadership. Mr. Gaitskell, whose rise has been meteoric during only ten years in Parliament, will now become Leader of the Opposition in the House of Commons. |
How many countries are there in the British Commonwealth? | tc_2675 | 50 | Member countries | The Commonwealth Member countries Home >Member countries Member countries Fifty two countries are members of the Commonwealth. Our countries span Africa, Asia, the Americas, Europe and the Pacific and are diverse – they are amongst the world’s largest, smallest, richest and poorest countries. Thirty-one of our members are classified as small states – countries with a population size of 1.5 million people or less and larger member states that share similar characteristics with them. All members subscribe to the Commonwealth’s values and principles outlined in The Commonwealth Charter . Leaders of member countries shape Commonwealth policies and priorities. Every two years, they meet to discuss issues affecting the Commonwealth and the wider world at the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting (CHOGM) . All members have an equal say – regardless of size or economic stature. This ensures even the smallest member countries have a voice in shaping the Commonwealth. |
What science is the study of missiles in motion? | tc_2757 | ballistics | ballistics Encyclopedia > Science and Technology > Physics > Physics ballistics ballistics (bəlĭsˈtĭks) [ key ], science of projectiles. Interior ballistics deals with the propulsion and the motion of a projectile within a gun or firing device. Its problems include the ignition and burning of the propellant powder, the pressure produced by the expanding gases, the movement of the projectile through the bore, and the designing of the barrel to resist resulting stresses and strains. Exterior ballistics is concerned with the motion of a projectile while in flight and includes the study not only of the flight path of bullets but also of bombs, rockets, and missiles. All projectiles traveling through the air are affected by wind, air resistance, and the force of gravity. These forces induce a curved path known as a trajectory. The trajectory varies with the weight and shape of the projectile, with its initial velocity, and with the angle at which it is fired. The general shape of a trajectory is that of a parabola. The total distance traveled by a projectile is known as its range. A ballistic missile in the first stage of its flight is powered and guided by rocket engines. After the engines burn out, the warhead travels in a fixed arc as does an artillery shell. In criminology the term ballistics is applied to the identification of the weapon from which a bullet was fired. Microscopic imperfections in a gun barrel make characteristic scratches and grooves on bullets fired through it, but use causes the marks a particular gun makes to change over time. See E. D. Lowry, Interior Ballistics (1968); R. C. Labile, Ballistic Materials and Penetration Mechanics (1980); A. J. Pejsa, Modern Practical Ballistics (1989); M.

It is grown all over the Panda's habitat. But it also can and is grown in many other parts of the world. In th U.S., many varieties have been imported and flourish in home gardens. They are popular in home gardens where Japanese or asian setting are desired. For others, they just like the challenge of growing something different. Bamboo Trivia: An adult Giant Panda eats 45 pounds of bamboo per day. Bamboo can be grown in most climates. It also requires little care and attention, thriving and spreading profusely through it's root system . It is strongly recommended that gardeners create a barrier two to three feet deep around the planting area to contain the spread of the roots to areas beyond where the plants are desired. Not only is bamboo grown as an ornamental plant, but the shoots are edible. If you eat a variety of chinese food, chances are you have eaten bamboo. Like rice, it has little flavor of it's own and takes on the flavor of the food it is cooked with. While nutritional value is low, it is a good source of fiber. Low nutritional value is one reason Giant Pandas need to eat so much of it. Bamboo shoots command a fairly high market price so it can make a good cash crop. Bamboo makes great gifts. It is a sign of luck. It is a sign of love. Put it all together on Valentine's Day and you are "lucky in love". For a nice selection for Valentine's Day, other events, or just for you. Did You Know? Bamboo leaves are poisonous. So, think twice about planting if you have young children. More Information: |
Why do fish have gills? | tc_2811 | to absorb oxygen | How Fish Gills Work How Fish Gills Work Today I found out how fish gills work. These fantastic little organs allow the fish to absorb oxygen from the water and use it for energy. Functionally, gills are not that dissimilar to the lungs in humans and other mammals. The main difference is how they are able to absorb much smaller concentrations of available oxygen, while allowing the fish to maintain an appropriate level of Sodium Chloride (salt) in their bloodstream. Gills work on the same principle as lungs. In the lungs, there are small sacs called alveoli that are approximately 70% capillaries. These capillaries carry deoxygenated blood from the body. As oxygen and carbon dioxide pass across the alveoli’s membrane, the capillaries take the newly oxygenated blood back to the body. Similarly, gills have small rows and columns of specialized cells grouped together called the epithelium. Deoxygenated blood in the fish is supplied directly from the heart to the epithelium via arteries, and even yet smaller arterioles. As seawater is forced across the epithelium membranes, dissolved oxygen in the seawater is taken up by tiny blood vessels and veins, while the carbon dioxide is exchanged. Gills themselves have a car radiator-like appearance. Most fish have 4 gills on each side, consisting of a main bar-like structure that has numerous branches as that of a tree, and those branches consisting of even smaller branch-like structures. This arrangement of cells allows for a very large surface area when the gills are immersed in water. Functionally, the mechanism for pumping water over the radiator-like gills seems to vary depending on the species of fish. In general, this is achieved by the fish lowering the floor of the mouth and widening the outer skin flap that protects the gills, called the operculum. This increase in volume lowers the pressure within the mouth causing the water to rush in. As the fish raises the floor of their mouth, an inward fold of skin forms a valve of sorts which doesn’t allow water to rush out. The pressure is then increased compared to the outside of the mouth and the water is forced through the operculum opening and across the gills. Gills themselves need a very large surface area to provide the fish with the necessary oxygen demands. Air is approximately 21% oxygen or about 210,000 parts per million. Water, on the other hand, only has about 4-8 parts per million of dissolved oxygen that the gills can extract. Because of this, if the fish did not have a large gill surface area to absorb as much oxygen as it can for it’s size, it would quickly suffocate. Cold blooded animals also tend to have a lower metabolism than their warm blooded counterparts. This aids them in their ability to handle environments of low available oxygen. Should the same size fish be warm blooded, the metabolism of the little swimmer would be increased to the point that the available oxygen would not be sufficient and little Nemo would perish. While the large gill surface area allows for sufficient exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen, it at the same time exposes the same large blood volume to the hypertonic (that is, saltier than thou) sea water, creating a situation in which fish must have a backup mechanism for expelling excess sodium that has been incidentally absorbed. Conversely, freshwater fish need to have an opposite mechanism allowing them to excrete excess water to keep their sodium levels appropriately high. Never mind about those anadromous gypsies who trounce back and forth, able to thrive in both fresh and salt water environments. We will just call them show offs and leave it at that. To deal with this sodium problem, inside the gill resides nifty little cells called chloride cells. These cells allow for the extrusion of any unwanted sodium. Freshwater fish tend to have less of these cells than do their seafaring counterparts. This, combined with the ability to have extremely diluted urine, allows fresh water fish to keep their sodium level appropriately high. |
What is the name of the structures which allow stems to breathe? | tc_2848 | lenticels | The Open Door Web Site : Biology : How Plants Breathe : The Differences in the Exchange of Gases between Plant Respiration and Photosynthesis Remember that a green plant respires all the time, day and night. A green plant photosynthesizes only in the presence of sunlight. All parts of the plant respire, the leaves, the stem, the roots and even the flowers. The parts above the soil get their oxygen directly from the air through pores. The pores in the leaves are called stomata (singular: stoma). The pores in the branches of trees are called lenticels. The drawing shows a leaf of a ficus plant. A small part of the underside of the leaf has been magnified to show the stomata. The average number of stomata per mm2 of leaf is around 300. The smallest number is found on Tradescantia leaves which have 14 per mm2 . The highest number of stomata is found on the leaves of the Spanish oak tree. Here there are around 1200 per mm2 . The roots of a plant also need oxygen which they obtain from the air spaces in the soil. If you give too much water to a plant in a pot you could kill the roots by drowning them! Plants, such as rice, which normally grow in wet soil often have air spaces in their roots. This is so that they can carry air from the atmosphere down to the root tips to be able to respire under water. The Open Door Web Site is non-profit making.

What is the collective noun for rhinoceri? | tc_3065 | crash | What Is a Group of Snakes Called? What Is a Group of Snakes Called? Tweet A group of snakes is generally called a bed, den, pit or nest, but a group of rattlesnakes is referred to as a rhumba or rumba. It's not entirely clear why it is called a rhumba, but the word comes from a Cuban Spanish term, rumba, which originally meant "party" or "carousel." Terms such as "bed" or "rhumba" are known as collective nouns when they refer to groups of animals. More collective nouns for animal groups: A group of monkeys is often called a tribe or troop, but it can also be called a shrewdness of monkeys. Groups of baboons specifically can be called a flange or congress of baboons, and groups of chimpanzees can be called a harem of chimpanzees. Perhaps appropriately, a group of cockroaches is called an intrusion of cockroaches. A group of rats is often called a pack, but it also can be called a mischief. Crows also have particularly negative collective nouns, including an unkindness of crows, as well as a congress, a conspiracy, a parliament and a murder of crows. Doves have a more positive group of names, including a cote of doves and a piteousness of doves. A group of ants can be called a bike of ants, and a group of bees can be called a grist of bees. Groups of alligators or crocodiles are called congregations, and groups of Komodo dragons are called banks. Both a group of hippopotami and a group of rhinoceri can be called a crash. A group of hippopotami also can be called a bloat. Follow wiseGEEK: |

Explain that the Sun is at the centre of the Solar System. Ask another child to act as the Earth and show how the Earth orbits around the Sun. Then ask the 'the Earth' to spin as it orbits the Sun. Does anyone know how long it takes for the Earth to spin once on its own axis? Activitives Set up the globe and the light so they are level and the light is shining on the globe. Explain to the children that the light represents the Sun, and the globe represents the Earth. How much of the Earth is in light and how much is in shadow? In which half would it be night-time and in which half would it be daytime? Locate the UK on the globe. Turn the globe so the UK is directly opposite the light, in shadow. Is it daytime or night-time in the UK? Explain that it is precisely midnight. Rotate the globe anticlockwise and stop where the change from darkness to light occurs. What would we be experiencing in the UK now? What time would it be? Continue to rotate slowly. Stop when the UK faces the light beam directly. What time would it be now in the UK (midday)? Slowly continue to rotate. Stop where the change from light to darkness occurs. What we would be experiencing in the UK now? What time would it be? Continue to rotate slowly until the UK is facing directly away from the light again. What time is it now? How long does it take for the Earth to complete one spin? Ensure children understand that one complete turn takes 24 hours (one day). Hand out copies of the worksheet. Let children complete it independently, shading in each diagram where it is night on Earth. Plenary Review the worksheet. Discuss how it doesn't appear to us on Earth that the Earth is moving, but it appears that the Sun moves and it appears to rise and set in the sky. Extension Fasten a matchstick to the UK on the globe with a piece of blu-tack. Ask children to make observations of the shadow as they rotate the Earth through a day. Suggested homework Ask children to calculate, using their age, the answers to the following questions. How many times have they rotated with the Earth? |
What is brighter than a hundred million suns? | tc_3137 | supernova | Brighter Than 200 Million Suns Imagining and Planning Interstellar Exploration Brighter Than 200 Million Suns by Paul Gilster on September 2, 2004 It looks bright enough to be a foreground star, but this supernova, called SN 2004dj, is 11 million light years away in a galaxy known as NGC 2403. Not particularly germane to interstellar propulsion or finding candidates for robotic probes, but simply too remarkable a sight to ignore. You can read more about this Hubble photograph here . From the press release issued by the Space Telescope Science Institute: The heart of NGC 2403 is the glowing region at lower left. Sprinkled across the region are pink areas of star birth. The myriad of faint stars visible in the Hubble image belong to NGC 2403, but the handful of very bright stars in the image belong to our own Milky Way Galaxy and are only a few hundred to a few thousand light-years away. This image was taken on Aug. 17, two weeks after an amateur astronomer discovered the supernova. What we’re seeing here is the creation of heavy chemical elements like calcium, iron and gold, all of which, on Earth and elsewhere, came from explosions like this one. Charter In Centauri Dreams, Paul Gilster looks at peer-reviewed research on deep space exploration, with an eye toward interstellar possibilities. For the last nine years, this site has coordinated its efforts with the Tau Zero Foundation , and now serves as the Foundation's news forum. In the logo above, the leftmost star is Alpha Centauri, a triple system closer than any other star, and a primary target for early interstellar probes. To its right is Beta Centauri (not a part of the Alpha Centauri system), with Beta, Gamma, Delta and Epsilon Crucis, stars in the Southern Cross, visible at the far right (image: Marco Lorenzi ).

If the cheetah is the fastest thing on four legs, what is the fastest on two legs? | qz_88 | ostrich | Fun facts about the Cheetah - Cheetah Facts and Information - The Jungle Store See more Animal Facts Cheetah The Cheetah , sometimes mistaken for a leopard, is a leaner animal with longer legs. It has “tear drop” black markings below its eyes. A cheetah has 4 to 6 rings near the end of its tail, which ends in a white tuft. Adults weigh 80 to 140 pounds. Body length averages 4 feet and the tail is a few inches over half that or more. Cheetahs dwell in grasslands, areas of dense vegetation, open plains, and mountainous terrain in Africa and Iran. They live alone or in small groups. Cheetahs are endangered due to inbreeding and to loss of habitat. Females live alone, except when they have cubs. They usually bear 3 to 5 cubs, weighing between 9 to 15 ounces when born. Mother cheetahs move their cubs to new hiding places every few days. Cubs have a mantle, a think yellow-gray coat, which grows along their backs. It’s thought that this helps conceal them from predators. Cheetah males, often brothers, form a coalition that live and hunt together for life. Cheetahs prey on rabbits, guinea fowl, francolins, springhares, gazelles, wildebeest calves, impalas, ostrich, and antelope. Hiding in tall grasses, they stalk prey, then suddenly race out to attack. When prey runs, the cheetah trips it with a front paw, and bites the throat of the animal as it falls. The cheetah holds on until the animal suffocates. Cheetahs eat quickly before they are driven off by lions, leopards or hyenas. Fun Cheetah Facts - The cheetah is the fastest animal on land and can reach speeds up to 70 miles per hour, yet can run only 400 to 600 yards before it is exhausted. - Cheetahs have a high cub mortality rate, up to 90% in the wild, since until cubs can follow their mother at about 6 weeks, she has to leave them alone to hunt. It is also difficult to breed cheetahs in captivity. - Cheetahs are diurnal. - The name cheetah comes from a Hindi word meaning “spotted one” or from the Sanskrit word “chitraka.” - They are the only big cat that purrs! They do not roar. - The rare King cheetah has stripes on its back. References |

What is the sum of the internal angles in a hexagon? | qz_221 | 720 degrees | Cool math .com - Polygons - Hexagons - properties, interior angles Properties of hexagons, interior angles of hexagons Polygons: Properties of Hexagons Sum of the Interior Angles of a Hexagon: To find the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon, divide it up into triangles... There are four triangles... Because the sum of the angles of each triangle is 180 degrees... We get So, the sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees. Regular Hexagons:The properties of regular hexagons: All sides are the same length (congruent) and all interior angles are the same size (congruent). To find the measure of the interior angles, we know that the sum of all the angles is 720 degrees (from above)... And there are six angles... So, the measure of the interior angle of a regular hexagon is 120 degrees. The measure of the central angles of a regular hexagon: To find the measure of the central angle of a regular hexagon, make a circle in the middle... A circle is 360 degrees around... Divide that by six angles... So, the measure of the central angle of a regular hexagon is 60 degrees. A regular hexagon is made up of 6 equilateral triangles!

(6-side polygon) thx neela | High School Teacher | (Level 3) Valedictorian Posted on December 10, 2009 at 12:17 AM The sum of the interior angles of a hexagon is 720 dgrees. You can have 6 triangles in a hexagon if you join vertices to the centre. So on account six triangles 6*180 degrees minus the angle at the centre which is 360. or 180*6-360 = 720 degrees is the sum of the interor angles of a six sided polygon or hexagon. In a hexagon,ABCDEFA, join AD, now the sum of interior angles of ABCDEFA is equal to the sum of the interior angles of 2 quadrolaterals,ABCD and ADEF or 360+360 =720 degrees. You can also think, if ABCDEFA is a hexagon, then the hexagon contains triangle ABC+triangleDEF +a qdrilateral ACDF whose sum of interior angles is equal to the interior angles of the hexagon.But the sum of the angles of two triangles and a quadrilateral is 2*180+360 dgrees = 720 degrees.Therefore, the sum of the interir angles of a hexagon is 720 degrees. like 0 dislike 0 Sum of interior angles of any polygon of having n sides sides equal to 2n-4 right angles. A hexagon has 6 sides, or we can say for a hexagon n = 6. Therefore sum of internal angles of a hexagon is: = 2*6 - 4 = 12 - 4 = 8 right angles. In degrees this can be represented as 8*90 = 720 degrees. In this way we can calculate the sum of interior angles of different polygons as follows: Triangle --> 2*3 - 4 = 6 - 4 = 2 Right Angles. Rectangle --> 2*4 - 4 = 8 - 4 = 4 Right Angles. Pentagon --> 2*5 - 4 = 10 - 4 = 6 Right Angles. Octagon --> 2*8 - 4 = 16 - 4 = 12 Right Angles. like 0 dislike 1 |

While your eyes can water, the lack of gravity in space means that it will never form into tears. Can astronauts cry in space? No, it is not possible to cry in space. If you had your space suit on and everything, then yeah you could cry Category Phil Plait's Bad Astronomy: Mad Science Country: USA Message: I ran across the following unattributed statement in a list of "weird but true" facts... "In space, astronauts cannot cry, because there is no gravity, so the tears can't flow!" Is this true? To make sure I answered your question correctly, I checked with Ron Parise, an actual Shuttle astronaut who works down the hall from me. He confirmed that astronauts can indeed cry in space. Tears run down your face because of gravity, but they don't need gravity to form. When the tears get big enough they simply break free of the eye and float around. So the real question is why would an astronaut cry in space in the first place? My guess is they accidentally look at the Sun, or stub their toes on some equipment. That might be easy to do when there is no "down"! ©2008 Phil Plait. All Rights Reserved. This page last modified |
In what year was the first English translation of the Bible completed? | qz_383 | 1388 | The Wycliffe Bible | The Wycliffe Bible: John Wycliffe's Translation of the Holy Scriptures Where to Purchase The Wycliffe Bible Here is John Wycliffe’s greatest accomplishment: the translation of the Holy Scriptures into English. Producing the first complete English bible, Wycliffe was the first to set aside Latin as the language of the Scriptures and to reach the English people in their own tongue. Working from contemporary manuscripts of the Latin Vulgate, he sought “no strange English” but only the easiest, most common— albeit the most Latin-like—language possible. (Latin constructions and word order were preserved even where they conflicted with English idiom.) His work was used by the Lollards, a group of itinerant preachers (“poor priests”) who went about preaching, reading, and teaching from the English Bible. Wycliffite translations of the New Testament (1380) and Old Testament (1388), which was actually completed by Nicholas of Hereford, opened a new epoch in the history of the Bible. In this new edition, LAMP POST has taken a 600 year-old ancient translation and made a modern, clean, readable version—a simple yet fun dichotomy—creating a project that all book- and bible-lovers are sure to appreciate and enjoy! |
